The House of Commons has again had to sit in judgment on past affairs. Surely there never was a Session in which so many errors were recorded, and so much fault-finding ensued. The grand cause of offence on the last occasion was the _ _ _ "count out" of Friday. Mr. Mon and some others had notices on the paper for that evening; and were consequently annoyed at the catastrophe. In such cases .the usual resource is to blame the Government, and the rule was not departed from in `this instance. Mr. DISRAELI made a tolerably good defence for the Treasury benches, however, and said that the Government had done their duty on this occasion by making a " House," and that it was evident that those who had business on Friday had as muc h to do with " keeping" the House as Ministers had. Some desultory conversation, the object of which was to prove that the Government officials had prevented the House being made, in contradiction of 'which Mr. HARDY said that•they themselves had been surprised at the affair, and, indeed, the business of the Government had been hindered the most. Some diversion was made at last to the reite ration of the same arguments by the remarks of Sir H. EDWARDS _and Mr. VANCE, for they said that the real blame rested with the Opposition. A Liberal member moved the " count-out," which gave rise to so much displeasure, and the pur port of it was to avoid the awkwardness that would ensue from the non-agreement of the Liberal side of the House on the mo tion to throw open Irinity College, Dublin. Mr. FAWCETT is not to be daunted, however, and has given notice that he will renew his motion on Irish Education in the Universities. The discus •an on the Lords' amendments to the Sea Fisheries Elks -vas taken next, and resulted in the House agree- Bill. • hem, but not until two divisions on the sub jng to %. 11 ect had taken. Upon the House going into Government a India Act Amend .committee on tIA, T,1A31 HAY entered into a dis mt•nt Bill, Lord 'MIL cuscion oa the relations of the Secretary of State - a d the Council. Many of the Arguments were r often on this repe titions of the statements hea:d so• of all be subjeL but the interest and importance longing to Indian affairs will always insure attev tion to the subject. The Irish Reform Bill; as " amended,." was considered, and, of courze, t be usual arguments on the subject were renewed by - Irish members. The insufficiency of the measure was declared to be a great drawback to its success, and Mr. Powna. certainly spoke out plainly, if not very eloquently. Ile said that it was a " very small and a very ridiculous measure ;" but the chief point of his ,speech was that the English and Scotch Liberals had acted ill in not supporting the Irish members more effectually. In fact, they had " basely abandoned them, after they had spent a great deal of time and trouble in carrying the English and Scotch Reform Bills." There was about as niu.chreasoobniuinrgaaltliotihm. In b this as may gene rally be met within such first place, it could not have ibfeteinieyawwearsetedeosfirtaibmlee to pass the other measures, ones ; and as for the " emphatic protest" which have remembered B AGW ELL entered against the bill, he in ig remembered that the Government were not at all to blame for the hurried manner in which the Reform Biel had to be finished, or the weary spirit with which hon. members came to the work. The leader of the Opposition, and those who gate him a THE SUN, LONDON, TUESDAY EVENING, JUNE 23, 1868. majority, must take tb e consequences of the last ses sion. Had Mr. Di SRAEL t yielded to the representations of some earnest p atriots, and prolonged the discussion on the elements o f the measure—for as to " merits" it seems to possess i ione—why there would have been no representative scheme at all for Ireland this year, and then the disappointment would have been great indeed. The Government, we feel well assured, would have' come in for no small share of blame, and there - would have been no gainsaying the fact that of the tl iree countries Ireland had been the most neglected. Mr. REARDEN, not withstanding the evident dis inclination of the House, moved a clause, to the effect that the county franchise should be six pounds, and the borough franchise three. This, he said, would hold out the olive-branch to Ireland, and render the whole scheme very popular; but the House did not feel disposed to close with the proposition, and it was negatived without a division. It seems strange that any one can ex pect that a motion like this can be carried, and when the House has come to a deliberate conclu sion upon a special point to seek to raise the dis cussion is most ill-advised and much to be depre catel. The disputes of the evening were not over, however, for Mr. VANCE took up the cudgels in support of the proposition to extend the con ditions of residence of electors for Dublin from seven to twelve miles, and a long discussion took place on the subject; but Mr. DISRAELI suggested that it had better be withdrawn, not that the right hon. gentleman disapproved of it in the abstract sense, but he did not at that stage think it desir able to press it to a division. The bill is to be read a third time on Thursday. The Boundary Bill was read a third time and passed, and the House alto gether made great progress. The case of Governor EIRE was again brought before the House in reference to the petition which was presented a little time ago by Mr. LAMONT. It appears that a mistake was made in the number of signatures affixel to it, and this was certainly unfortunate, though it did not at all affect the character of the petition. Mr. GRENFELL, however, thought it necessary to speak on the matter, but he did so in so vehement a style that he was twice called to order by the Speaker. He created some amusement in the House by setting forth the wrongs of the " Jamaica Committee.'' He was, he said, a member of that Committee, " which had been subject to the unceasing persecu tions of an irresponsible body of persons signing themselves the EvuE Defence Committee. It really is going too far to make victims cr martyrs out of the members of the Jamaica Committee, and so the House seemed to think. Mr. LAMONT explained how the mistake arose. The clerk who made up the statement supposed ho was entitled to include as petitioners those who had subscribed money to the Defence and Aid Fund. It was, after all, then, very unnecessary to make so much ado about the matter, and the numbers represented were certainly in favour of Mr. EYRE ; and if they did not join in the prayer that the Government should pay the ex penses of the trial, they were willing to contribute for that purpose themselves, which is a much more trying test of friendship or approval than to put the burden on the State. Mr. LAMONT concluded very properly by declaring that, in Westminster alone, there was no doubt that he could procure a petition more numerously signed in favour of Mr. EYRE than the one he had presented at the figures stated. The discussion on the Indian Government Amend ment Bill last evening in the Commons was not without importance. The bill, it will be remem bered, has already proceeded some stages, and it efforts for the cultivation of their soil, the improve— ment of theircrops, the extension of their commerce,, or any of the thousand means of developing the re sources of the country. What they once learn they preserve, as there are still certain districts in which the weaving of certain kinds of fine muslin is handed down from father to son, and the gossamer webs made from that Indian cotton which was the terror of our Lancashire spinners, still outrival the finest productions of Manchester machinery. Into this dreamy world, but ball awake to the necessi ties, the changes, the duties of the time, it is well that the fresh, vigorous current of English life should sometimes penetrate. It is no harm if the contrast evoked should sometimes be a startling one, and we must remember that in former days, when In dian affairs were almost exclusively managed in India, the result was not very satisfactory to India or creditable to England. We can only hope to elevate the tone of Indian. life by bringing it more into sympathy with our own, and had there been a more direct influence exercised over Calcutta and Bombay from London fifty years ago, India would now be many paces in advance on the road of pro gress. The energies of the most enterprising men must evidently become chilled by constant associa tion with the lazy and inert. The most vigor ous reformer must fi3 id it difficult to keep up to the mark when all around him are in favour of the old and faulty system. Anglo- Indians may claim to know best on matters that concern themselves, but they are perhaps insensible how much they owe to the insensible influence of their direct connection with England. It is only since the Crown has assumed the direct control of its Indian possessions that progress has been made in irrigation, in railways, in tea cultivation, in many ways, which are gradually enriching and civilising the country. Under these circum stances we must be careful how we surrender any portion of our controlling power, and govern India in obedience to theory r ath er than with a view to successful practice. The Indians, it is true, must be educated for taking their share in the Government, as they are not at present able to judge or to act for themselves, but the whole tendency of Anglo-Indian life has been their repression. So far from the English actually on the spot being more disposed to consider and con ciliate the feelings and wishes of the natives they are usually much less so than those in England. There is a breach between the races on the spot which is not represented in this country. Indian affairs with us continue to increase in interest and importance. We have not in England so much to undo as they have in India, but wo have to atone for long years of neglect and indifference. We are glad to see the Government of India Act Amend ment Bill is likely to receive careful consideration at the hands of the House. LATEST INTELL [ONCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) AMERICA.

MONDAY, June 22. The most important news for us, at all events, is that we have had rain, and that the furnace-like heat has been cooled to a comparatively agreeable temperature. The showers were very heavy, and there was some thunder and lightning. But, judging from the telegraphic reports, it does not seem as if the weather had broken up, so we shall probably have another spell of really tropical heat. Meanwhile there are complaints that the wheat crop is suffering from the fierce sun. Perhaps this is only a market report. in order to check the downward tendency of prices. The first unauthorised public meeting under the new law has just taken place in Paris. Its object was to form a co-operative school. Aristide Martin, one of the seven persons who gave the necessary guarantee as to the lawful. ness of the meeting, presided, and made a good speech. About 1,300 persons were present, and at the close of the meeting a large number of them gave 15 centimes in order +o defray the expenses. The election at Allier, caused by the resignation of M. Edouard Fculd a few days ago, takes place immediately, for the Government have found a candidate in the person of a local magnate and large employer of labour. On the other hand, there is no sign of the election for the Jura district, where a vacancy occurred many weeks ago. The Opposition journals suggest that M. P:nard is like Diogenes, searching for a man, and cannot find one. It is really too bad that the Government should be thus able to hurry on or to postpone elections at pleasure. A. pamphlet has just been published by M. Gromier, called " Programme of a Liberal Union in view of the Approaching Elections." It sets out with the principle that all official candidates ought to be excluded. It goes on to say that the only chance of prevailing against them is to start a number of Liberal candidates for the first scru tiny, and then for some one of them to be accepted by all the Liberal electors at the second. M. Gromier would have Liberal candidates pledge themselves to philosophical liberty, the establishment of gratuitous and compulsory primary instruction, and really liberal laws upon the army, the press, and public meeting. The author pub lishes letters from Thiers, Guizot, Quinet, Berryer, 011ivier. Simon, and Pelletan, which shew that the Opposition are not entirely agreed upon this programme. Berryer, for in stance, is scarely prepared for compulsory education, while Simon is passionately in favour of it. The Government journals are already chuckling over thes clissidences among their opponents. Nothing as yet has come of the very long Cabinet Council meeting on Saturday. The Patric wishes it to be understood that the question of dissolving the Chambers was not discussed at that meeting. But the semi-official journals have been singularly unlucky lately. For instance, the France has just announced that the report of M. Emile Pereire having resigned the directorate of the Transatlantic Packet Company is unfounded. But this afternoon M. Pereire has announced his resignation in the Corps L6gis latif. An important decision has just been given at the Tarn Court of Assizes. The judge has decided that M. Ferdi nand de Carrieres cannot act as a juryman because he had forfeited his citizenship by taking service under a foreign sovereign without the previous consent of his own Govern ment. M. de Carrieres was one of the Pontifical Zouaves. Letters from Vienna say that Prince Napoleon is thoroughly convinced that the Austrian Government does not mean to depart from its attitude of neutrality. Thus the idea of the Franco-Austrian alliance, which the Empe ror Napoleon strove so hard to realise last year, is finally dispersed, and thus Austria is serving well the interests of peace. Baron Haussmann contemplates removing a very notable building, Sainte-Pelagie, the prison in which political offenders, including unlucky journalists who have broken the Press Law, are confined. Of course the prison will not be abolished, for, judging from recent trials, it is likely to be more wanted than ever. But it will probably be removed into the country, where it is believed the prisoners will enjoy better health. At present the deaths are 30 per cent., as compared with 10 per cent. at the Mazas prison. The sale of the celebrated Chateau-Laffitte Vineyard, did not take place, no buyer offering at the upset price, £lBO,OOO. The property . will be offered again in August. A thoroughly French tragedy has just taken place here. A man anl a woman were found in the water tied together, and both drowned. Inquiry shewed that the man was a carpenter and the woman a laundress, who, having proved unfaithful to her husband, left him on ~gnisa• ce of her guilt, and wandered about the country with her paramour. T. ey visited the theatres and cabarets, and having spent all their money, and not know ing how to get more, they determined to die together ti la Francalse ; and so, having fastened themselves together with a rope, jumped into the Seine and perished. A movement was set on foot some time ago to provide means for affording better education to women. Madame Elisa Lemonnier is one of the chief promoters of this much-needed reform, and she has been assisted by some influential men who sympathise with her. Since the matter was first mooted, three months ago, two schoo!s have been established in Paris, and it is intended to open eighteen more. The wife of Jules Simon is the president of this society. The Emperor was at the Fontainebleau races yesterday, and looked much better. During his drives in the forest he has got quite bronzed. As I dare say the telegraph has informed you, the Marquis of Hastings was again successful, and his horse Cristal carried off the Grand Prix. THE WEATHER TABLE.--THIS DAY. has now gone into committee. Lord W. HAY took some exceptions to the proposed amendments, or rather to the limits placed to them, for he considered that they did not go far enough. lie believed that other changes were essential, and more especially a change which should take away from the Council the power of vetoing by the Secretary of State in all matters connected with Indian revenue. That is to say, while the Secretary of State is supreme on many points of importance, as far as the expenditure goes he is in the hands of the Council, who, through him, rule India. As Lard W. HAY put it, " The Secretary of State has power to give away Mysore, a district as large as Scotland, without any one to overrule him ; but in the matter of an expenditure of a few thousand pounds he is entirely in the hands of his Council." A natural consequence of this, according to the noble lord, is that the Secretary of State is chosen more with regard to his power of managing the Council than to his capability of governing India. He affirmed, too, that another mischievous effect of the system is to weaken the hands of the Governor-General by un necessary interference, which was rendered more frequent by the increased facilities of communica tion between England and India. Lord MACAULAY and other authorities, who had spent much time in the country, were of opinion that India should be governed in India. Lord W. HAY, after entering into more detailed arguments on behalf of his pro posal, concluded by expressing his desire to see the Council of India become a purely consultative body, and the power of the Governor-General in India considerably strengthened. The noble lord's views were not, how ever, participated in by the majority of the House. Mr. MILL and Colonel SYKES, both of whom are well versed in Indian affairs, were strongly opposed to the change so ardently desired by Lord W. HAY. Mr. MILL, while admitting that there was a tendency to unnecessary interference with the Indian Executive, said very justly that after all we must exercise a controlling power, and he did not see that it could be more advantageously vested in the Secretary of State alone than in the Secretary of State and his Council jointly. It is more in accordance with the spirit of English legislation that wisdom should be sought in the multitude of councillors than in the decision, however excellent, , of one man. No doubt the Indian Government must be on many questions the most com- petent to judge, and unnecessary interference from a distance is always to be deprecated ; but at the same time it is better to run the risk of ill ,`imed meddling occasionally than to abandon that supetvision which this country is called upon to exercise over her Eastern dominions. India and England, it may be said, are so far apart that it is difficult for the statesmen and politicians of the one to enter into the views and requirements of the other ; but while this absence of sympathy and compr►'hension is often a drawback, there is another side to the question. Anglo Indians, we know, are apt to fall into a routine existence, to yield to the lethargic influences of the climate, and the enervating customs of an ancient despotism. The paople whom they are sent to govern as free, dependent, an I respon sible agents, have never been accustomed to civil and political liberty, to religious equality, or to the free current of English thought and speech. They are used to be trampled on, to be I oppressed and restrained, and are so much in the hibit of meeting force with fraud, and oppression with cunning, that it is difficult to deal with them on the plain ground of straightforward honesty. Again, they have never been accustomed to vigorous , reforms, to rapid progress, to great and continuous SPAIN. MADRID, June 22. The Council of State have drawn up their report on the Land Mortgage Bank. Senor Rubi, the newly appointed Minister for the Colonies, on assuming office delivered an address to the employes, urging upon them the policy of using every effort in their power to develope the riches and prosperity of the Spanish colonial possessions. GREAT DESTRUCTION OF PROPERTY BY FIRE. BP.EMEN, June 23. A large fire, which broke out here at 10 o'clock yesterday forenoon, was only subdued to wards evening, after having raged about eight hours. The conflagration began while taking cotton samples. The Stephani Church, although several times caught by the flames, was ultimately saved. The warehouses belonging to the firms of Fritze, Boys, Delhing and Son, containing cotton and considerable stocks of fine tobaccoes, were consumed. Two large timber yards were also destroyed. The sparks were car ried to the farthest houses in the suburbs. The amount of damage is estimated at a m illion and a half thalers, and all the principal insurance com panies are involved in the loss. ,ree o'clock. —The marke METEOROLOGICAL REPORTS.

It is rather more uniform, but continues lower in the N. than elsewhere. Temperature also remains almost unaltered ; but the air is somewhat drier in the east. The winds are generally south-westerly, light to moderate; but have drawn to W.N.W in the south of Ireland. Light rain has fallen at most stations. This morning the weather is cloudy, with rain still prevailing in the N,W. The Emperor of Austria is gone to Trague, ostensibly to open a railway bridge, really to make a last attempt to reconcile his Czech subjects to him. If they accept the overtures offered to them the greatest possible autonomy will be given to them consistent with the integrity of the empire ; but hitherto they have demanded more than this. He has, however, been very favourably received, and replied in the Bohemian language to an address which was presented to him in that language. The Times publishes a letter from A7exanchia, taking exception to the reply of Sir Stafford Northcote to the deputation which waited upon him in reference to the tele graphic communication with India. The present lines vitt Constantinople and Russia, it is stated, have never worked with any degree of regularity for any leng th of time,and as the messages by both lines pass through the hands of clerks of various nationalities, correctness in transmission is almost out of the question. The Government are only throwing good money after bad in vainly endeavouring to improve the present routes via• Russia, Turkey, and the Persian Gulf to India. The best portion of these routes, is, un doubtedly, the Persian Gulf cable ; and the new land line scheme via Prussia and Russia, which is being laid, is open to the same objections as the pre sent routes as far as Bassorah. Last year the pro moters of the proposed Red Sea line made an offer to the Government that, in consideration of their agreeing to a 5 per cent, guarantee on the capital required to establish this line, they would undertake to work the Persian Gulf telegraph, and further to relieve the Government of the £36,000 a year they are bound to pay the shareholders of the original Red Sea and India Telegraph Company for a period of from forty to fifty years, which advantageous- offer, however, the Government declined to accept.

The Prime Minister's Novels. Novels and Tales. By the Right Hon. Benjamin Disraeli, M.P. The Disraeli Edition. Five Volumes. Frederick Warne and Company. A brilliant Novelist having become Prime Minis ter of England, small wonder that his publisher should issue from the press a new edition of his ['ales and Romances. The occasion and coinci lence are alike exceptional. Literary First Lords of the Treasury there have been, of course. The two ex-Premiers, for eximple, are both of them distinguished as Men of Letters. One of them, indeed, has rendered himself illustrious, at once as I scholar and as a pet, as a Greek scholar and as .in English poet, by his noble version, in our Anglo iaxon tongue, of the grand heroic epic of the Iliad." Other Prime Ministers before the two iarls, before Lord Russell, the friend of Tons [core, and before Lord Derby, the translator of tiomer, have, to employ a hackneyed eupheuism, 3ultivated the fields of literature. Canning, indeed, ong after sowing his literary au _1 political wild )ats in the fertile furrows of the Anti-Jacobin, udulged his ineradicable predilection for rhyth ,nical epigrams and rhyming jeu de'sprit, even to the penning of instructions to a diplomatic agent in the Netherlands. But there is no recorl, until now, in the history at once of Politics and of Letters, of a popular novelist winning first of all SUCCJS3 after success as a purely imaginative writer, and afterwards as the sequel to a series of bril liant triumphs in the House of Commons as a great master of Debate, as an Orator of the highest distinction, and as the undisputed leader during fully twenty years of the Tory Party, that is to say of the party consisting chiefly of the country gentlemen of England, winning his way to the very pinnacle of power by assuming his place upon the Treasury Bench as the First Minister of the Crown, or, in other words, as the Head of Her Majesty's '4G-overnment. This exceptional distinc- tion has, as• we all know well enough, been achieved by the now First Lord of the Treasury, the right hon. gentleman the member for Buckingham ;hire. With his achievements as a politician, however, with his position as a statesman, with his eminence as a debater, with the power and splendour of his oratory, with the pig fancy of his rhetorical sarcasms, with his consummate skill as a Parliamentary tactician, with his inexhaustible energy, whether in attack as leader of the Opposi tion or in defence as leader of the Adtuinistration, we have here nothing whatever to do. It is, in another sense than ordinary, with Disraeli the Younger, it is with the Novelist rather than with the Statesman, that we have now more imtnediately to deal, when we come to an examination of this latest and most interesting among all the numerous editions of his works of fiction " The Disreali EE itel)." of these fourteen distinct products of his ►nimated and animating imagination. It extends —this new edition—to the length of Five handsome volumes, three of them containing two imaginative works in each, one three, and another five. A mere enumeration of these fourteen imaginative works of the now Prime Minister of England will be suffi cient here simply as a reminder—the works them selves being thoroughly well known by this time to the majority of novel readers. Subdividing the Premier's age into three score, however, it may at once be remarked, in general terms, that the first twenty years of his life were given up to education and preparation generally for his after career, as one who had to make his way in the world, and who was determined, and at the same time qualified, to make it ! That the second twenty years were devoted to literature and to the prelimi nary labours of a politician who was resolved upon making good his claim to be regarded eventually as both a statesman and an administrator. That the third twenty years were dedicated absolutely And exclusively to the vindication of his position as a Leader of Party, and ultimately, as we all see, as the Chief Minister of the Crown, and as such, Head of her Majesty's Government. Twenty years a Student—twenty years a N avenst —twenLy y Great Party Leader—and, at the close of these three score years, Prime Minister of Euglan 1. Sach, in brief, has been the career of the present Ent Lord of the Treasury. It is with the middle perio 1 of his life that we have now to do. It is with the fruit of that central score of sears that we have here to deal exclusively, aVithin that interval, his fourteen works, as a ma❑ ,f letters, were produced. " Vivian Grey " was the first, "Tancred" the last, of his novels. The former, published anonymously, was, at one time, reputed to be a posthumous work of Lord Byron's. the latter—closing abruptly, and altogether giving one the notion of a pursuit suddenly and absolutely abandoned, rather than of an individual task left incomplete-"" Tancred," that is to say, marks the period at which the Novelist disappeared, and the Parliamentary Chieftain assumed his place. In the collective reissue of these remarkable fictions, it is especiallyworthy of note that in the Prefatory remarks, or "Advertisements," so called, prefixed to two or three of these works, the author, casting a retrospec tive glance back at his youthful productions, refers to them almost as though they were the produc tions of somebody else—leaving them to be regarded and treated simply as they deserve. The Advertise ment to "Vivian Grey," indeed, is distinctly depreca tory of criticism, referring to books written by boys, as, each of them, a kind of literary /uses, and as in variably founded on affectations. To this it may here be added that what constituted the prominent charm of that celebrated novel when it first male its appearance was the sublime impertiaeace with which it was written throughout. As to the love story of " Henrietta Temple," which appeared nice or ten years afterwards, it was significant of the entourage of the young novelist that the work was inscribed, and still stands inscribed, to Count Alfred D'Orsay, by his affectionate friend the Author. "The Young Duke," a novel descriptive of a frivolous age, when George the Fourth was King, is referred to by Mr. Disraeli himself as a juvenile production full of affectation and conceit, and yet is vindicated by him, in a manner, as such, by the extraordinary dictum that " every man has a right to be conceited until he is successful." " Venetia," which was published originally in 1837, was then, as it is still, inscribed to a very different personage indeed—namely, to Lord Lyndhurst, "as a record of respect and affection." " Con tarini Fleming," a psychological romance, penned some half-dozen years previously, was issued from the press, like " Vivian Grey," quite anony mously. Several works of a minor or miscellaneous character, it is only necessary here to particularise by name—one carrying us into the empyrean, the other conveying us to the nether regions, one of them being entitled " Ixion in Heaven," the other " The Infernal Marriage," the latter having rela tion, in fact, to the espousals of Pluto and Pro ;erpine. " Captain Popanilla " being descrip ive of an imaginary voyage, belongs in a manner, o that especial category of works of which Capt. Lemuel Gulliver's record is the most memorable ex emplar, and to which, after a fashion belongs the •' Robinson Crusoe" of Defoe, the " Utopia" of Sir Chomas More, and the " Arcadia" of Sir Philip Sydney, or its author would have us call it by pre ference, of his sister, the Countess of Pembroke. Besides these lesser works of Disraeli just now enu merated, three others have yet to be mentioned. There is the five act tragedy of " Count Alarcos"— the period of which is in the thirteenth century, and the scene of which is at Burgos, the capital of Castille, and its immediate vicinity. Then, too, there is " The Rise of Iskander," the King of Epirus• And, of more importance still, there is the won drous "Tale of Alroy," of David Alroy, the Prince of the Captivity. In 1844, however, there was published for the first time what was certainly Mr. Disraeli's most successful work, what we ourselves must always regard as his literary masterpiece— " Coningsby." Three considerable editions of " Coningsby" were sold off within three months from the date of its first appearance : as many as fifty thousand copies being quickly bought up in the United States of America. Then again, there was Sybil, or the Two Nations," meaning the Rich and the Poor here in England. And finally there was the Premier's lut novel of " Tancred, or the New Crusade." Other literary productions ther e are of his, not included in this collective edition of his writings, such, for example, as his " Revolu tionary Epick " and his " Lord George Ben tinck : a Biography." Here at anyrate in these five volumes we have, in a really handsome and substantial form the whole of his imaginative writ ings—in companionship with which one of these days we hope to see issued from the press another set of books just as handsomely got up, a work comprising within it the whole of his parliamen tary and extra-parliamentary speeches. As the record of the Twenty years of his Literary career, the five volumes now placed within reach of Mr. Disraeli's admirers as a Novelist, possess a p e culiar interest and attraction, not unnaturally enhanced by the fact of their appearance from the press during the period of his Premiership. -1:94a Orrt lA -17V C (4 ' irriptyjtiri Z-`"::-etiriAT 3 ' 444 1141 TIER MAJESTY. BUCKINGHAM PALACE, June 22.

MR. KUHE'S CONCERT. Another of those splendid concerts to which the musical world looks forward with more than ordi nary interest, viz., that given annually by the brilliant and accomplished pianist, Mr. Kuhe, took place yesterday afternoon in St. James's Hall, on which occasion a great audience embracing all the leading members of the beau monde assembled. At the commencement of the concert the interior of the hall presented a scene of unrivalled beauty, the majority present being ladies, all attired in the most piquant and elegant costumes. The programme, as usual, comprised all the renowned novelties of the season, and the vocalists numbered amongst them the greatest artistes from the two Italian operas and others equally celebrated, namely, Mdlle. Christine Nilsson, Mdlle Titiens, Mdme. Trebelli-Bettini, Mdlle. Liebhart, Mdlle. Sinico, Mdlle. Enequist, Mdme. Sainton-Dolby, Mdlle. Drasdel, Miss Elena Angele, Signor Mongini, Herr Reichardt, Signor Foli, M. Jules Lafont, and Mr. Sant ley ; the instrumentalists being Signor Piatti, Mr. Aptommas, Herr Engel, and Mr. Kuhe. The concert commenced with Gordigiani's trio, " II De siderio," which was finely sung by lldlle. Sinico, Signor Bettini, and Signor Foli ; and then followed an exquisite ballad, by Benedict, entitled 66 Why art thou saddened," sweetly sang by Mdlle E. Angelo. Mr. Kuhe then made his bow, and having received a most cordial greeting, took his seat at the pianoforte, and performed one of his own bril liant arrangements, entitled " Hommage h Meyer beer," with an execution so finished and delicate that it may fairly be termed remarkable. One of the bright particular stars, Mdlle. Titiens, then appeared ; she fairly carried the audience with her through every note of Weber's splendid scene, " Ocean, thou mighty monster," and at its termi nation the applause was positively enthusiastic. Mr. Santley obtained a rapturous encore for his spirited singing of a new song entitled " The Vagabond," and Mdlle. Liebhart gave, in her own peculiar plea7ing style, a ballad, " Little Bird so sweetly singing," accompanied by the composer, Mr. G. B. Allen, Mr. Svendson playing the flute obbligato with very great effect. Mdlle. Titiens and Mdme. Trebelli called forth the unanimous applause of the audience by their fine rendering of Rossini's duo from " Semiramide" " Giorno d'orrore," and then Mr. Kuhe again delighted the distin guished assembly with his performance of another solo for the pianoforte, a concert study of remarkable brilliancy, his own composition, and Leopold de Meyer's sparkling caprice, " Die Grille" (the Cricket). The touch in the latter piece was extremely fine, but of the two the first called forth the greatest applause, an honour it was justly en titled to, as it was well worthy the evident appre ciation with which it was received by every musician present, and we feel certain their number would form a majority. The great vocal triumph of the first part was that achieved by INldlle. Christine Nilsson, who again sang Ophelia's mad scene from Ambroise Thmnas's new grand opera " Hamlet." this distinguished artiste was set down in the programme for the mad scene from " Lucia," but to the delight of the audience it was announced that the scene from " Hamlet" would be substituted for it, an intimation that elicited very great ap plause. How magnificently Mdlle. Nilsson sang this very brilliant composition we cannot adequately express, but when we say that, at its conclusion, all restraint was broken through, that every lady present joined heartily in the immense applause it called forth, some idea may be formed of 3 performance that occasioned such an extra ordinary display, and that too in a large hall with an almost Indian temperature. Again and again was the distinguished artiste called forth ; she smiled and curtseyed, but still the ap plause continued, until at last some enthu siastic person present called " encore." Mdlle. Nilsson good-temperedly, and with a most capti vating look, shook her heal, and the au Hence, taking the hint, allowed her to depart, but amid the loudest applause. The excitement had scarcely lulled when Mdlle. Nilsson again appeared, with Nldine. 'rrebelli,Signor Mongini, and Mr. Santley,ana the quartette, " Mentre it Pie," from " Martha" wa s finely performed. In the second part Mille. Titieng sung Beviguani's new valse, " Godiamo," charm ingly, and Mr. Aptornmas gave U 3 his ever-frash march of the "Men of Harlech" on the harp. Signor Mongini sung delightfully the aria " La donna e mobile," and the same may be said of Madme. Trebelli's singing of Blumenthal's " Noe• turne Le Soir." Mr. Kuhe's solo in this part of the concert was his own, "Le Carvanal de Naples; performed for the first time. It is a very telling and effective composition, and will find great favour with pianoforte players in general. The remaining items in the programme want of space compels us to pass over with a general compliment. The concert wa' s a great success from first to last, every person pre sent was delighted beyond measure, and the care to insure the comfort and convenience of the audience deserves the highest praise. Low masses were celebrated during the whole of Saturday morning in the Mexican chapel in the RU Francois I. for the repose of the soul of the t ido!' tunate Maximilian, shot at Queretaro on June 1 99 1867. The widow of General Miramon, put t° death at the same time by the soldiers of Juarez , did not quit the chapel during the day.
