'1 he former is an extensive landed pro prietor, and seems to have been wanting in tact and discretion, both in provoking the ill feeling and in not giving more heed to its existence when filly proved to him. Of course nothing can in any way excuse or justify the lawless act of some of his tenants, but it is always a pity to exasperate people, and a great mistake not to show moderation. In attempting to enforce strict compliance with the tcrins of the agreement, Mr. SCULLY gainel such ill will and reproach that his unpopularity was extreme, and he found it necessary to go about attended by two policemen. They remained at this house, and accompanied him wherever he went. It is not cer tainly a matter of surprise that the existence of such circumstances should have led to evil results, and that disastrous consequences should have en sued. It cannot be said that Mr. SCULLY acted in the spirit becoming one in his position, for b "e seems The arrival of a new diplomatic representative of the United States among us is at the present juncture no insignificant event. In these days of telegrams and constant traffic an Ambassador in deed is no longer so responsible an agent as formerly. He is in continual communication with his Cabinet; on any point of difficulty he can obtain their direc tions, and they are as much au fait with the politi cal atmosphere of the Court at which he is stationed as he is himself. They have a thousand channels of information independent of the accounts which he furnishes, and the very journals of the day supply in a great measure the place formerly filled by an Ambas sador's letters. In the time of QUEEN ELIZABETH or the STUARTS a Minister stationed at a foreign Court held a position hardly second to that of any other. Much depended on his sagacity, his tact, his observation, and in those days when peace and war were matters not for the consideration of peoples and Parliament, but depended on the absolute will and pleasure of the Sovereign, it was all important that the represent Itives of the great Powers should be capable of acting for themselves on sullen emergencies ; weeks must claps before they could communicate with their chiefs, even on matters of the greatest moment ; and if we look back two or three hundred years, we find that it was partly the duty of our Ambassador to give a full and faithful picture of the state of affairs around him. His correspon dence was generally voluminous, and in many in stances, when drawn from the recesses of State paper offices into the light of day, it has formed a valuable addition to modern history. Many vo lumes of much interest to the student and the scholar have been compiled from the manuscripts of the Ambassadors, both English and foreign, of that very reign of Q seen ELIZABETH to which we have referred, and every librarian finds them a place on his book shelves. No such arduous literary undertaking is expected from Mr. REVERDY JOHNSON, whose recent arrival among ourselves is regarded with so much interest. London is not the terra incognita to the occupant of the White House or loiterers on Broadway that it was to the German EMPEROR or the burgesses of the Continental free cities in 1568. The British Channel in those days put a wider gulf between France and England than the Atlantic now inter poses between England and America. The most industrious and observant of ambassadors would ill supply the place of the ever-circulating press, which carries daily into every civilised country the news of all the world. Nevertheless, the office of an ambassador even in these days is no sinecure, and no diplomatic position is more onerous or more difficult than those filled by the representatives of England and America at Washington and London respectively. United by strong ties of mutual interest and sympathy, the two nations are yet too often alienated by petty jealousies, suspi cions, and misunderstandings. The ill-judged adulation of everything American, in which some enthusiastic Radicals among ourselves have been in the habit of indulging, provoked contemptuous re joinders from their adversaries which gave offence to the Americans, while it was at another time too much the fashion to represent Americans in a ludi crous aspect. It was easy to exaggerate their strongly marked peculiarities; and the conventional Yankee on the stage or in fiction was a eompound of abs irdity and impudence. The Americans are extremely sensitive to ridicule, and no doubt much of the irritation,which at one thne.threatened serious con sequences was due to causes which both countries would have been ashamed of if openly put forward. Happily all this is changed. Our statesmen and public orators speak of America with unfeigned re spect, and the traditional Yankee is no longer to be found as the butt of satire or of the drama. American home life has been made familiar to us by the graceful pens of American novelists, while in the higher walks of literature LONGFELLOW and BRYANT, P nEsco rr and MOTLEY, are read and honoured in England fully as much as among their own countrymen. Still the misunderstanding and mistakes of the past have so far left their traces that it needs skilful hands at the helm. It is highly desirable that the representatives of the English and American Ministers should be men who accept it as their office to be peacemakers rather than war makers ; whose object is to conciliate the goodwill of the people among whom they dwell, to smooth away misunderstandings, and be prompt to offer and accept those timely explanations which often avert serious complications. The gentleman who for so many trying and difficult years filled the post of American Representative at the Court of St. James's carried with him universal regret, but it was with great satisfaction that we fottucl the choice of his successor had been so for- The Lords of the Admiralty who arrived at Devonport on Friday evening in the Enchantress were Vice-Admiral Sir Alexander Milne, K.C.B. ; Sir S. Dacre.., K.C.B. ; Rear-Admiral Seymour, and Sir J. C. llay. The Secretary, Lord 11. G. Lennox, arrived on Saturday morning in the Black Eagle. The Controller of the Navy, Admiral R. S. Robin son, and Lieut.-Col. A. Clarke, R.E., director of engineering, came by train on Thursday. Early on Saturday morning the Lords of the Admiralty were received at Devonport dockyard by Admiral-Super intendent the lion. James R. Drummond, C. 8., Capt. Willes, C. 8., who is at the head of the Steam Reserve, and the various officers of the establish ments. The Board were occupied some time in the office of the Superintendent, after which they com menced their annual inspection, visiting the Prince of Wales, 115 guns and 3,994 tons, fitting as a training ship for naval cadets at Dartmouth, in place of the Britannia. The Windsor Castle, 97, 3,101 tons, was also visited, which is intended to take the place of the gunnery-ship Cambridge in Hamoaze. Their Lordships then passed through the South Smithery to No. 2 slip, in which the five gun sloop Tenedos is about one-third built. In No. 5 slip there is under construction a mooring lighter for use in Ihmoaze ; and these two compa ratively small vessels comprise the extent of the master builder's duties at Davenport. A cursory examination of the ropehouses, boathouses, &c., was made before luncheon. After this, by the aid of a steamtug, the members of the Board, omitting the Secretary, were conveyed by steam to Keyham yard. Here they visited the new pumping -house, the Lord Clyde, 23, and the turret-ship Prince Albert, where some time was expended ; the guns were manned and the crew worked the turrets. From No. 2 dock their Lordships went to No. 3 dock, on board the troopship Himalaya, 2, the bot tom of which is recoating. Passing through the joiners' shop they next went on board the Duke of Edinburgh's frigate the Galatea, 26, in the south basin. Her repairs are not very important, except ing that she will require new boilers. Some six weeks or two months must elapse before the Ga latea is ready to proceed on her second voyage round the world. After walking through the great qu ►drangle the Lords of the Admiralty proceeded in the steamtug Trusty to inspect ships of war in Hamoaze. On Friday the shipwrights at Chatham dockyard commenced laying the blocks and ways in No. 3 dock for the new armour-clad turret-ship Glatton, which is ordered to be forthwith built at that estab lishment. It was originally intended by the Admi ralty that the Glatton should be built by contract at the yard of one of the private shipbuilding firms, d prepareddrawingsalad plans for the vessel were accordinglyunder th a t i n t ent i on , th e a nt Admiralty having decided that a second armour clad broadside vessel, of the Audacious class, but with a single . lifting screw, should be laid down at Chatham. Their Lordships have, however, thought it expedient to reverse the original plan, and it is now decided that the Triumph shall be constructed at one of the northern private shipbuilding yards, and the turret ship Glatton built at Chatham, in the same dock as that from which the double tur ret armour-clad ship Monarch was very recently laanched. The drawings and plans received at Chathamiatton to oc beya a vessel the Admiralty show the G 7 00 tons burden, with a dockyard from of 2, length of 245 ft., and a breadth of beam of 49 ft. It is, however, in her armour-plating that she will surpass in defensive po wera every ship yet constructed it being intended to plate her with armour 12 in. in thickness along her most exposed parts, while on her turrets the Glatton will carry armour of 14in in thickness, laid on a 1 0-inch backing of teak, plating. Unlike the withnon Monarch—the — usu th a e l innerdeck of which is encumbered with a topgallant forecastle the single turret of the Glatton will have an all round fire, and this will, in some degree, counteract the disadvantage under which she will labour in having but one turret. Her offensive will, at the same time, be on a par with her defensive powers, it being intended to arm her with a couple of 25-ton guns—the most formidable armament yet given to a vessel of war. Her engine power will be of 500-horse (nominal), which seems inadequate for a vessel of her formidable class, as, under the best estimate, she can, with such engines, be driven through the water at a speed little, if at all, exceeding nine or ten knots an hour. As, however, the Glatton is intended for coast defence, although, possibly, she might be re quired to make an occasional cruise as far as the ..Niediterranean, it is not deemed desirable to insist on a much higher rate of speed, which would, of course, necessitate her being fitted with engines of a more powerful class. Considering that the Glatton will have a mean draught of water of 19 ft, it is doubtful whether she will ever be able to ope rate with any advantage along the coast, there being but few harbours or channels she will be able to enter save under exceptional circumstances. She is to be built from the designs of the Chief Constructor. Theletter >Mon of the WORCESTER HOP MARKET, Aug. 15.—The mar ket continues inactive, and all thoughts are now turned to the growing crop. The fine rain which has fallen here in the last week and the two or three showers previously kas just saved us from groat disappointment. The long drought was severely telling upon the plant, but the rain, with accompanying warmth, has made a wonderful difference, and all doubt is now removed with regard to the crop The hop is rapidly growing, and picking will begin beforo the month is out, so that we shall undoubtedly have a•very large supply at our great annual hop fair, which is held in this city on the 19th of September. A good many hops, however, will be sold before that time. IRISII DOGS.—The number of dogs registered if, Ireland in the year 1867, under the Dogs' Regula tion Act of 1865, was 256,752—name1y, 15,909 in th( towns, and 210,843 in the counties. The dog licence duty received in the year amounted to £25,675 45., being 2s. per dog, and after deducting the expenses incurred in the ad ministration of the act—namely, £6,041, there remained £19,631 surplus, which was paid over to the Eaveral towns and counties in due proportions.

This dock will be taken across the river to the Royal Arsenal, where moorings are being prepared under the superintendence of Mr. Moore, shipping master. It will remain a day or two off the Arsenal, and then be towed to Portland for trial. Subsequently, on the first favourable )pportunity it will be towed across the Atlantic by rive steamers to Bermuda, for the repair, &c., of the vessels of her Majesty's North American and West Indian stations. The Maori, which arrived in tho Thames on Fri day, from New Zealand, disembarked her detach ,nents of the Commissariat Staff Corps, the Army hospital Corps, and other troops at Gravesend, on Saturday, when the whole were forwarded to their respective depots at Chatham and the other mili tary stations.

Barometrical pressure is greater on the S.W. coast of Ireland by four-tenths of an inch than it was on Sattriay, but the change in pressure since yesterday morning has been but slight. The highest reading is at Valencia, exceeding that at L'Orient by 0'34 inch. Tem perature is nearly the same as on Saturday. The winds this morning are generally from E. to N.B. in these islands, and are light : a fresh breeze is reported from Weymouth, where it blew yesterday from the eastward with a force 8. On the west coast of France winds aro variable. Yesterday there was an easterly gale at Toulon, force 9. Mist has prevailed during the previous twenty-four hours on the N. and E. coasts. Thunder occurred on Saturday night at places. The weather is now fine in the N., but cloudy or overcast in the S. Rain is falling on the French coast. The Belgian Government has addressed a circular note, dated August 2, to all its diplomatic agents abroad, deny ing in the most positive manner the reports recently circu lated respecting a customs' and military union between France and Belgium. The circular note states that no negotiations on the subject have passed between the Cabinets of Brussels and Paris. Tvo meetings—one to be held at Lemberg, in Galicia, and the other at Cracow, in the same province— have been forbidden by the Austrian Government. The Lemberg meeting was to have nominated a deputation to proceed to Zurich to take part in the inauguration of the monument to the Poles, and the Cracow meeting was to take the place of the first in case it was prevented. The Vienna Cabinet does not usually restrict the right of meeting, but the fear of compromising Austria's relations with Russia has led to this extraordinary exercise of power. The manifestations of the Czechs in Bohemia have become so serious that the Governor of Prague has opened an inquiry into the subject. The son of Prince Karageorgewitch has addressed a petition to the Hungarian Minister of Justice, imploring that his father may, by reason of his illness, be transferred to his own residence, and there guarded ; also, that he (the son) may he permitted to communicate with his father. The Minister has replied that the Tribunal of Pesth must decide the question. The Bulgarian rising has been entirely suppressed, but it appears that the most violent measures have been adopted by the Turkish Government. On his arrival at Rutschuk, Midhat Pasha put to death all the insurgents who remained after a skirmish which took place in the neighbourhood. In addition, every person who may be suspected by the military authorities has been arrested and imprisoned, without any trial or examination. Midhat Pasha endeavours to justify these extremities by the plea that the country is still unsettled, and that another insurrection is to be feared. INDIA. frbe gollowing items of Indian intelligence . are from the Times of India up to July 21 :— 'ie Government of India has directed that the six months' donation batta to the military and naval forces recently employed in Abyssinia be paid, under instructions to 'be issued by the Bombay Government, "as soon as practicable," The captains of the Abyssinian transport ships, most of which axe at present at Bombay, have taken steps towards presenting a handsome testimonial to Captain Tryon, R.N., who won great popularity at Annesley Bay. About Rs. 3,000 has already been raised in Bombay alone. Cholera is prevalent amongst the native population in various parts of the central provinces, particularly at Jub bulpore ; and the troops at Kamptee are reported to be somewhat Bel iously affected by the epidemic. Lieutenant F. H. Gould (the officer who was believed to have been drowned in the Ilooghly) has been brought before a magistrate at Calcutta and charged with having forged the name of the commanding officer of his regiment, and thereby cheated the Delhi and London Bank out of Rs. 3,500. He was remanded to gad. Sir Jung Bahadoor, the resident at Katmandu, has pro- mised to use his influence with the rulers of Thibet, with the view of securing a safe journey to Mr. Cooper (who is travelling from Shanghai to India, overland) after he reaches that country. Colonel Phayre has been appointed political super- intendent and military commandant on the Upper Scinde frontier. OBITUAttY.-Mr. E. G.

A Paris correspondent writes :—" Le Quinze Agfa,' the Fête Napoldon,' the annual holiday of Paris, to which all provincial France usually rushes, and from which all fashionable Paris always {lies as from a plague, is what I have to describe. As a commencement, I must tell you that ' the 15th of August, 1868,' cannot, when com pared with last year, hold the smallest candle. There are several very evident reasons for this falling-off. First of all, the reaction from last year, when all the provincials combined the fête with their visit to the Exhibition, and so were five or six days in Paris, spending the money for that year and this. Then in France, as in England, there is a great slackness of trade, and the clam ourriere,' which is the staple of the fête, is the great sufferer ; and, finally, from six a.m. to nine a.m. on Saturday rain fell in torrents, upsetting the plans of all those who were coming in by an early train for a real long day. Still, with all this, strangers included—and there is a vast number of them—the population of Paris is pretty nearly double on this 15th of August what it was on the 7th. The scene in the Place de la Concorde in the evening was very pretty. Standing in the middle, by the fountains, which kept blushing celestial rosy red, and then turning blue or grey—now falling like mist, now glittering down like powdered ice, as it pleased the movers of those electric lights—you saw on your right hand the Madeleine, the facade and cross of which were brilliant with lamps, while the peristyle was " electrified" till it looked weird and sepulchral. At the two corners the Marine and the Baby House were illuminated to match. On your left were the Corps Ltgislatif, the columns of which were like opal, and the Foreign Office, both lighted by outlines of lamps dila ntodct di Firenzi; before you, as far as the eye could reach, two long lines of clear white lamps, serving as a hedge to a forest of trees, which, for once, bore a wonderful crop of ruby globes. The effect of the red lamps on the green is new here, and was wonderfully effective. You must remember there was a mile of them at least. If you turned round you saw the Tuileries, the gardens of which were lighted by white lamps ; which caused Nisus and Euryalus to look quite young Hercules to gleam, and Apollo to glitter, while the fountains looked like liquid light. Then came the fire works. They were very brilliant—somehow they always are ; but really, speaking soberly, I think there is a family likeness in them which after a time is wearying. How ever, I have never seen so many rockets go off at once ; and as for colours, why, the stars were quite put out of countenance. However, the people for whom they were intended were enchanted, and cried Oh ! ' with an enthusiasm which brought back to the elderly mind Simpson's bow, ham, and 'rack punch, and the perpetual 50,000 extra lamps of defunct Vauxhall. Then the company separated, or, rather, I should say, went to supper, highly satisSed. Paris was turned inside out, and every one was eating and drinking in the streets. The dissipated went back to fairs, to balls, to anywhere but home. So ends the Fête Napoleon of 1868. Favoured by splendid weather, it has gone off gloriously; and I feel tempted to close my letter by quoting the speech of a man who stood next to me in the Champs Elys4es : ' Come next year ! Of course I'll come—it's only one hundred leagues.' Then he kissed his friend, and said Vivo I'Empereur TIIE CHANCERY VACATION BUSINESS.—There were suventy-three applications as vacation business on the last occasion before Mr. Marshall, the chief clerk ; and he will sit again on Tuesday, when the number will probably be increased. FILIAL PIETY.—The following conversation, which, had it come to his knowledge, the late Mr. Leech would have used as an illustration of " Life in the Mining Districts," has just been repeated to us :—First Collier : " There's been a foire (explosion) at Jackson's pits."—Second Collier : "My feyther worked there."— First Collier : " Yes, and he's blowed all to pieces."— Second Collier : " By gum ; why, he'd got my knoife !"

A COOL ATTEMPT AT SUICIDE. —Oll Saturday morning George Nash, a farm labourer at Lewisham, while proceeding to his work along a lino, called out to a boy, saying, " Go and tell the first policeman you meet a man has cut his throat." The boy, meeting a constable shortly afterwards, told him what had occurred, and on the constable hastening to the spot, he found Nash sitting down with a razor in his hand with which he had cut his throat. The sufferer was at once conveyed to Lewisham Workhouse. He had been drinking freely of late, and was evidently labouring under an attack of delirium. THE DUKE OF BRABANT.—The Brussels corre spondent of the Avenir National writes :—" The reports as to the health of the Prince Royal are more and more alarming. After a temporary change for the better he has become worse than ever. Dropsy of the heart has exhibited itself in a form which leaves little hope of cure. His mother returned from Spa yester day evening in all haste, and in spite of the entreaties of her physicians. She had not seen her son for some time previously, and the interview between them was most affecting. The health of the Queen is by no means strong, and it is feared that grief for her son may have a further prejudicial effect upon it. The King has written to his brother, the Count de Flandre, who is tra velling with his wife in Bohemia, begging of him to return to Belgium. In the event of the Duke of Brabant's death, the Count de Flandre would become presumptive heir to the Belgian crown. The count has been married two years and has no child." A TELL-TALE.—TiIe Bulletin de la Societe In dustrielle of Mulhouse gives us an interesting account of an extraordinary " tell-tale " apparatus in use at the vast establishment of Dolffus, Mieg, and Cu. There are four night watchmen on these premises, and they have to make ten visits to ninety-three stations, in all 930 visits. On commencing his rounds a card is delivered to each workman, which he carries about with him. At every station he has to visit is a frame of the size of the card, at which, at a given time, a stamp presents itself and impresses a mark on the card. The marks are so arranged that when the whole are printed they form one complete design: Any delay or omission on the part of the watchman leaves a blank space on the card, which tells the hour at which the man failed in his duty. When going off duty, the men push their cards into a kind of letter-box, and as this is done the exact time at which they are delivered is printed. All this con trivance is completely beyond the men'd control, and there is no possibility of tampering with the mechanism. No description of the apparatus would be intelligible without the drawings which accompany it. MR. MARK limmoN.—Among the novelties of the coming dramatic season will be the appearance of this gentleman in the character of Falstaff, in scenes from Shakspeare's "Henry 1V.," so selected as to form a con sistent series of tableaux. The performances are not to take place in any theatre, but will belong to the class of amusement recognised as entertainments, although the action and costume of a stage play will be in part retained. Mr. Mark Lemon's powers as an actor arc well known his theatrical experience is larger, perhaps, than any modern writer for the theatre ; and his long association with the wit and humour of this age renders his just delineation of Shaksocare's lusty knight a matter of cer tainty. 'rho personal appearance of the popular editor of Punch so remarkably resembles that which we are all accustomed to imagine Falstaff's to have been, that there can be very little doubt of the impersonation being life like and truthful, The text of Shakspeare will certainly be an Improvement upon that of entertainments generally, and the humourous conceptions of our great poet unques aoaably Abid §copq for P. yQry i nur3Snj and intellectual per/on/Mgt__ Ir. ..... 1 10 ttm • bre HER MAJESTY.

LITERATURE. By Adah Isaacs Menken. 1868. London—Paris—New York. A pathetic little volume, exquisitely got up, and entitled, with a most painful appropriateness, In felicia, comes to our hands mysteriously, we know not from whom, almost simultaneously with the announcement of the quite unlooked-for death, ill her seven-and-twentieth year, of Adah Isaacs Alenken--the equestrian actress—the Mazeppa of yesterday ! It is a tiny tome or volumette of 141 miniature quarto pages. It is arrayed in a glossy, apple-green binding. It is emblazoned in gold on the bevilled side with the autograph title " Infelicia," and with the autograph signature " Menken" ; and gilt-lettered on the back with the same tersely melancholy indications of the contents of the book and of its authorship. Inscribed brieily 14 To Charles Dickens," without another word upon the dedication-page--the little volume displays upon the back of that same page the daintiest little pho tographic facsimile of the following kindly accept ance by Charles Dickens of the proferred dedi cation : " Gads Higham-by-Rochester, Kent, Monday, October 21, 1867. " Dear Miss Menken,—l shall have great pleasure in accepting your dedication. I thank you for your portrait as a highly remarkable specimen of photography. I also thank you for the versos enclosed in your note. Many such enclosures come to me, but few so pathetically written, and fewer still so modestly sent. "Faithfully yours, CIIARLES DICKENS." As it happens, therefore, the little book, in any case, would have propitiated public attention, intro duced to the world, as it was to be and as it is, by a great writer like Mr. Dickens--a writer with a fame so pure, and a name so illustrious. It comes to us, however, yet more impressively ushered in with the added pathos of the announcement of the young author's death. Hardly has the warmth of life faded from her limbs, the light of life from her eyes, the sense of life from her brain and heart, when the book—her one book—her first and last—appears before us posthumously. It is impossible not to regard it with the interest of pity. Notwithstand ing all her antecedents, it has a touch of grace about it that, for the passing moment, excites our attention. Upon the inner cover of the volum. surrounded by a mourning border, there are given the name of the young actress-authoress, together with the dates marking the narrow limits of her brief career, the date of the year of her birth and the date of the year of her death —" Adah Isaacs Menken-1841-1868." Opp° - site the title-pap is a charming little bright' faced protraiture of her, a head exquisitely ea graved and evidently from a photograph. Scat" tered through the book, as head-piecas and tail pieces to the thirty-one poems naakin4 up the contents of the volume, there are some grace fully pencilled designs signed with the initials "A. C."—the initials we are tempted to eon' jecturo of the two first names [Christian names, as they are conventionally called] o f the author of " Atalanta in Calydon" and tc chaste lard." Whosesoever they may be, they are charm ingly done at any rate. As for the contents of the volume,-as literary productions, they are scarcely t°. be examined critically. The grave of the writer of them is hardly yet closed in. Her dead lips her° speak of them, on the nether side of her title page, as— "Lesvos pallid and sambro and ruddy, Dead fruits of the fugitive years; Some stained as with wine and made bloody, And some as with tears." The very first, on page one, entitled " Resurgatni il begins— " Yes, yes, dear love! I am dead! Dead to you! Dead to the world ! Dead for ever!" Another, having as its heading " Myself," under fl limning of a dead female, with weeping angels co either hand, takes for its motto— " La patience ost tuner(); mais le fruit en ost claim ! No; they are not for the cold-bboded analysis of criticism. They are like those flowers spoken, o f rather sung of by Longfellow— " Buds that open only to decay." Not a garland of intmortelles, but a wreath of il itd and fading blossoms fallen from a dead hand by tb° side of an open grave. "Infelicia," as we 1 108 said, these poems are called, collectively., and as if insisting upon the appositeness of the title selected for them by their authoress, she inscribes th last of them as with a word of iteration, 66 Ide o v . It is significant, by the way, in regard to a 1) 049 % the mere "get up" of which any p u bli s her, 00 ; might have fancied, would h ave b een g l a d t o bale acknowledged, that there is no evidence, either 01 ; ternally or externally, of any publisher's name all, whether English, French, or American, vibe Sher of London, Paris, or Ne w Yo r k. Not 01 1 , ;5 it thus with Menken's "Infelicia," but nowhe re is there a trace of any printer's name—a circil ol ; stance, in its way, rendering the publication 111 manner illegitimate.
