Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street. Now ready at all the Libraries, in 2 vols., post Svo., SI L W A NOVEL. 0 0 D " The author, we are convinced. is young , otherwise we could hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be half of his heroes and heroines. lie is a writer of genius, inspired by a high standard of morality and religion, ant by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he has market per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraells, Man nerses, and Smythes."—Observer. Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great goed taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have said. The other ladies who play conspicuous parts in the tale are Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.

If the men of the past generation, to whom a j ourney from London to Edinburgh was a pilgrimage, and the receipt or dispatch of a letter an event—and not always a welcome one in those days of heavy postage,—if these men could return again to the land of the living, it is easy to imagine the consternation with which they would regard things that are to us mere matters of every-day occurrence. As fami liarity is said to breed contempt, so constant use ren ders marvels no longer marvellous. To us it has ceased to be a matter of astonishment that "the sun has become our portrait painter, and the lightning our bearer of messages." It has even excited interest rather than surprise, that almost incredible con trivance whereby a conversation can be kept up be tween London and Paris at the interval of only a few minutes between asking a question and obtaining an answer ! Now America is within a ten days' voyage of England; the citizen of London can reach Brighton in an hour, and more wonderful yet, he can take a trip there and back for the cost of 3s. 6d. ! Ima gine the amazement of one of the slow travellers above alluded to as these and other similarly strange matters were expounded to him I To us, accustomed as we are to their occurrence, they ap pear on reflection hardly so astonishing on philoso phical as they are satisfactory on philanthropic grounds. Science is now proving herself one of the tutelary deities of humanity. No beneficent genius of fairy tales ever wrought more marvellous and more blessed transformations in behalf of suffering mortals. S 3 universal and so efficacious is her ministering agency in the present day, that she appears expressly fitted at the same time to supply the wants and to remedy the ill effects of the rapid march of civiliza tion. It would be premature as yet to enumerate the good effects in a commercial, in a mental, and in a moral point of view, which must necessarily result from the facile and frequent intercourse of men of all nations. When we are told that the electric wire unites kingdoms whose inhabitants have been looked upon as hereditary foemen, we exult not so much at the new triumph of scientific skill as at the new confirmation of the fact, that by the ministration of that skill " Man now is knit to man in closer brotherhood," As a practical evidence of the humane agency:of science in the present day, let any one repair on a Sunday morning to the railway stations at the depar. ture of the excursion trains. It is a sight not easily to be forgotten, and one fraught with pleasure to the true philanthropist. Hard-working men doomed to toil on in the narrow streets of a crowded metropolis, while those who require it far less exchange their airy town mansions for the country seat, are now enabled, for one day at least, to breathe the pure air and enjoy the refreshing breezes. Crowds of children, ay, and of old men too, now go with anxious delight to gaze for the first time on " the sea "—the sea which, now thanks to the inventions of science and the public spirit of individuals, is brought within a short distance of the metropolis, and within reach of the limited re sources of the poor man's purse. As a matter of business, of course, these " excursion trains" must prove remunerative to their jectors ; but, regarding them on higher grounds, we are di•posed to consider them as one of the greatest boons recently conferred upon the community. Rightly to estimate the ad vantages, any one disposed to call them in question must consider the circumstances of the majority of those to whom they are available. To the wealthy and privileged few, to whom travelling is now a matter of course, because a matter of fashion, a visit to Paris, or to Rome, or even a trip to Constan tinople, is hardly so much "an event" as to some poor prisoners of London is a glimpse of that ocean of which all Englishmen hear so much ! True, %tea:ln-boats, and omnibuses, and the recent love of locomotion, which happily, most happily, has ex- THE tended to the lowest ranks, have of late of a Sunday thinned the public-houses, and crowded the parks and fields in the neighbourhood of London. Now, however, the beneficial agency has advanced another and a most important step, and we may confidently anticipate from the change a corresponding and beneficial alter ation in the health of the metropolis. Every summer the hot weather sends myriads to the sea-side for change of air, yet the very class that necessarily remains behind is the very class that most requires the change. To this class it is that these cheap excursions are a very God-send, and, calling this to mind, we repeat that science is become a tutelary divinity to the hard-worked and closely confined multitude, who form the great majority and are the strength and sinew of " the People." Consi dered under this aspect, every new invention is no longer only a matter of individual interest to a few, or gratifying only to the intellectual vanity of man. Experience teaches us that the good of one and the good of all are identical—a lesson repeatedly enforced by the loving precepts of Revelation—a lesson which every incident of history has continually corrobo rated, yet a lesson w hich mankind has been very slow to learn. At the present day its truth is more than ever evident, and that truth is at once a consolation and a stimulus. In addition to the other grave mistakes committed by the authors of the Act of 1844, to which we have already directed public attention, there is another alluded to in the report of the Lords' Committee, to which some of the witnesses attributed the pressure on the Bank resources, and the subsequent panic in 1847, viz., the publication of the Bank accounts, in cluding the reserve of the notes in the banking de partment. The Governor of the Bank spoke strongly on this point. He had felt its practical incon veniences ; he had seen the effect it had on the public mind, and the alarm thereby occasioned when the unemployed notes sunk below the usual amount of 4,000,0001., and it became manifest that there was a deficiency to be drawn in from the public, for which " the screw" will probably be applied. The old pro verb bath it, " that a little learning is a dangerous thing." Although we do not altogether acknowledge the accuracy of that venerable apophthegm, it is un questionably correct in this instance. The directors know perfectly well that there are certain seasons of the year in which the reserve falls to the lowest, and when by a regular law the tide is turned, and begins to flow into the coffers of the establishment. Being aware that the beneficial stream had set " backward," they are perfectly easy in their minds. But the public, those who watch the state of the reserve, as affording the best index to the actual con dition of the Bank, know nothing of the improved prospects. They see—they look to nothing but the amount of notes unemployed ; and when that is un usually low considerable alarm is excited, which speedily degenerates into wild panic, and a run upon the Bank's resources, at the time when they should be assisted as far as practicable. The Governor at tributed the danger which arose in 1847 to this cause, an opinion in which Mr. TOOKF, whose admirable work on prices attracted so much attention, fully participated. Indeed, when it it is considered that the avowed object of the Act was to place the banking department on the same footing as that of a private establishment, that in that respect it was to be " untouched and unin terfered with," to manage its affairs according to its own discretion, like any other banking concern, it is difficult to understand why it should be bound to publish its private affairs, and the amount of its bank ing reserve, any more than the other bankers with whom it was placed in competition. The Governor, who desires that the Act should be maintained with as little alteration as possible, proposed that the whole of the accounts should be published, with the exception of the reserve ; but this was most properly objected to by the Committee, who clearly pointed out the objections to such a course, which they considered " wholly inadmissible" —for " such accounts must practically furnish the ele ments or data from which the amount of reserve may, with a greater or less degree of accuracy, be deduced or inferred. If the amount of reserve could thus be accurately calculated, the proposed remedy would be no corrective of the system complained of. If the amount of reserve were to be inferred inaccurately, such a proceeding would be an aggravation of the inconvenience, rather than a safe or effectual re medy." It is impossible not to coincide with this reasoning, or to dissent from the conclusion arrived at by the Committee, " that it would appear more i❑ accordance with legislative wisdom to reconsider the rule itself, against which there can hardly be stronger presumptive evidence than the suggested necessity of concealing the consequences to which it leads." Having thus clearly pointed out the total failure of the Act in attaining the objects contemplated by its framers—having shown the injurious consequences of many of its provisions, and their fatal effect on the national prosperity, it might be supposed that the Committee would strongly recommend its total and unqualified repeal. In this respect, however, they exhibit a strange delicacy in dealing with this part of the subject. They state that " an attempt to enforce by law, under all circumstances, one fixed and inflexible rule for the management of a bank of issue, seems inconsistent with the best written authorities* with the general principles of economical science, as well as with the testimony of many witnesses of practical knowledge and experience ;" and add, "it can hardly fail to be productive of most serious evils, more especially when a continuation of issues, indis pensable in a state of adverse foreign exchanges, is rendered imperative, as it is by the Act of 1144, under circumstances which may be wholly opposite." They show the impolicy of leaving " cases which may arise once in five or six years, or even at periods more remote," to be dealt with by " the irregular exercise of the mere authority of the Crown and its advisers." In place, however, of the total repeal of this most mischievous Act, they pro pose the introduction of "a discretionary relaxing power, to be exercised only during the existence of a favourable foreign exchange." As to the modes in which "this relaxing power," which our readers will recollect was urged so strongly by the metropolitan bankers previous to the passing of the Act, may be ex ercised, three plans are suggested by which the object might be attained, viz.—" a legalised authority rested in the Government—in the Government and in able breeze ? The knowledge of the fact that the Bank had, for its own security, found it necessary, or even expedient, to avail themselves of this power, would excite an alarm and a panic more for midable than those of 1847, and which could not perhaps so easily be alleviated. On the whole, we think that there are few indeed who have gone with us in our remarks on this report, of which, notwith standing its rather lame conclusion, we must still ex press our admiration, who will not agree with us in saying that the Act of 1844 must be erased from the national statute-book, of which it is a stain and blot. Delenda est Carthago. In this respect no interme diate course, no compromise is practicable. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC , We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. The Republican and Legitimatist journals con sider the speech of the PRESIDENT at Cherbourg as a U bid" for the empire, and comment upon it accord ingly. The Opinion Publique and the Assentblhe Nationale call upon all the friends of order to rally round the National Assembly should the PRESI DENT attempt to interfere with its privileges. As the Assentblie Nationale is supposed to represent the sentiments of General CRANGARNIER, the article in that journal has more than ordinary significance. The Republican journals, in commenting on this speech, speak more in sorrow than in anger. The &ids, in alluding to the expression of the PRESI DENT "If there is a town in France which ought to be Napoleonienne it is Cherbourg," and to his hints that the public works at Cherbourg could not be finished " unless by their giving him the means to accomplish them,' says " We wish we could suppress the painful impression wade upon us by these expression•, which imprudently suggest dangerous and subversive theories from the mouth of the chief magistrate of the Republic. We must speak frankly. M. Louis Bonaparte, in provoking political changes, that is to say revolutions, has forgotten the high mission with which the people have invested him, and which, above and beyond all is a mission of order and of peace; he has forgotten the loyal words pronounced by himself upon the day of his advent to power. It is certainly afflicting to see compromising friends push their seal and ignorance of what is passing so far as to propose in their newspapers, or in the meet ings of a secret society the overthrow of the Republic and the erection of an hereditary empire; yet, after all, these anarchical aspirations are only important because they are allowed to remain unnoticed by the public tri• bunals. Bat that the chief of the executive power and the znandataire of the nation should proclaim, with al most puerile perseverance, the pretension to change the form of government; that he should, as it were, offer a bargain, undertaking to terminate certain public works, in exchange for a prolongation of powers, presents to our eyes, we must say, a sad spectacle; and we would willingly hope that, in the ardour of improvisation and the momentary excitement of a banquet, and perhaps also under the perfidious influence of courtiers and flat terers, M. Louis Bonaparte has allowed himself to be hurried beyond his intention." The incautious proceedings of the friends of the PRESIDENT have greatly alarmed M. TRIERS and the Burgraves. The Corsaire announces that— " M. Thiers is returning post haste from Germany, to prevent being attempted the rash experiment which, in a letter to a friend, he says he foresees will be made, unless prevented by good advice." These journals give some curious particulars relat ing to the Society of the 10th Decomber. It was founded by General PIAT, and numbers 7,500 mem bers in Paris. M. ROMIEU, the ex-editor of the Ara potion, and the author of a work entitled " The Era of the Caesars," in which he lauds the absolute go vernment of an emperor chosen by Praetorian Guards as the best of all possible governments, is the chief. It is divided into 300 brigades of 25 men each, who receive 15 francs a month when not on active duty, but when they attend to escort or cheer the PRESIDENT throuE. , ,h the streets or to get up a cry of " Vire Na po/ion," or "Vine l'Empereur," they receive a franc and a half a day. The source from which this money is derived is unknown. The PRESIDENT attended mass on board the flag ship at Cherbourg on Sunday, after which the ships were exercised. He dined on board the Friedland, and entertained at dinner the following English naval officers :—Admiral Sir C. J. anmanney, K.C.8., Vice-Admiral Sir Thomas Cochrane, K.C.8., Rear- Admiral Sir Charles Napier, K.C.8., and Rear-Ad miral Sir Edmund Lyons, G.C.8.; Captain Chads, C.B , Captain Michael Seymour, Captain W. H. Hall, and Captain Rodney Mundy. The PRESIDENT was presented with a gold medal, signifying his election as an honorary member of the Royal Western Yacht Club. The greater number of the English vessels left Cherbourg on Sunday night. The .111oniteur publishes the following telegraphic dispatch : " CHERBOURG, SEPT. 6, " lIALF-PAST SEVEN IN THE MORNING. " Yesterday morning, at nine o'clock, the President visited the arsenal, and inquired minutely into the amount of works which still remain to be executed in order to terminate the port. . . _ " At twelve o'clock lie went on board the Friedland. All the vessels were dressed out with figs; they saluted the President as he passed with all their artillery. Everywhere an immense crowd encumbered the quays, and witne ssed this magnificent spectacle. Afar having successively visited several vessels, the President went on the mole, the gigantic works of which filled him with admiration. He afterwards went on board the Minerve, where is established the gunners' school, and witnessed some ball-finng at a mark. "In the evening they offered a ball in me of the large rooms of the arsenal, which was decorated with remarkable taste. Several thousand persons were pre sent. " Everywhere, at the arsenal, on board the fleet, on the mole, at the ball, the President was saluted with unani mous and most warm acclamations." M. DE PERSIGNT has gone to join the PRESIDENT at Cherbourg. M. DE LAROCHEIACqIIELIN has written a letter to the editor of the Ordre, to say that it is not true that he was badly received by the Count DE CHAMBORD at Wiesbaden, or that he requested the Prince to blame the line of policy of the majority of the Legitimatists in the Assembly. He adds, that it was not he, but others who spoke of the necessity of the party taking a new and more independent attitude. He declares that the Legitimatists will give proof that they have resolved so to do. The Ordre says—" The most devoted servants of the Orleans family have been for some days past in consternation. It appears that the health of the Queen of the Belgians causes great disquietude. It is said that she has had an affection of the chest, which is so grave as to require the greatest care. It is not even impossible that the ex-Queen of the FRENCH will visit Ostend to give maternal attention to her daughter. . . _ Accounts from Toulon state that letters received from the province of Constantine announce the de cline of cholera in that place. . _ . The steam corvette Vidoce left Toulon on the sth for Civita Vecchia with the mails and a number of military passengers. A detachment that had been under orders to embark on board the V6loce for the army of occupation of Rome has been counter manded.

The Committee greatly prefer the latter al ternative. They show the danger of leaving the power exclusively in the Government, which is " liable to be influenced by political rather than eco nomical considerations;" and add, " it is to be appre hended that the exercise of an undefined and extra ordinary power would depend too much on the per sonal character or position of the Minister for the time being." They had manifestly an eye to the Exchequer when penning this passage. What possible use could there be in leaving such a power in the hands of Sir CHARLES WOOD, who, up to the 20th of October, 1847, could not dis cover that there was any pressure whatsoever on the commercial interests, or any difficulty in obtaining cash advances on suitable securities ? It would be but a furth er moc k ery to p l ace the remedy i n t h e hands of such a man, who would not administer it until the patient had expired.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES. Accounts have been received from Rendburgh to the 4th. The position of the hostile armies remains unaltered. The Swabian irereury says:— " We learn positively from an authentic source that the great European Powers have resolved to terminate the quzrrel between Denmark and the Duchies. It is decided that the order for the succession to the throne shall be settled, and that England, Russia, and Franco, shall send special plenipotentiaries to Copenhagen for this purpose. The j)retensions of the line of Augusten burg to the succession to the throne of the Duchies will also be discussed. Denmark has given formal assurance that she will observe the greatest moderation iu regard to the Duchies. "It is said that Prussia will accede to the arrange- I ments agreed upon."

A vessel arrived from St. Domingo had brought the intelligence that the Emperor Fsustin I. was fitting up an expedition against the Windward Islands, both by sea and land. It was said the naval force would consist of two large square-rigged vessels, and a propeller; the latter was in preparation in some part of Europe, sup posed in England. Some three weeks previous three white inhabitants of influence had been beheaded, for what the authorities considered a too free expression of political opinions. At Hamburgh on Friday last the exchange on London was a shade lower, being 13.7. Money was plentiful. Coffee was still in brisk demand.

QUARTER TO THREE. 961 ... 961 STRAND THEATRE. Another ballet from the prolific brain of Flexmore, entitled Perequillo, or Terror in a Tub, was produced last night with immense success, and adds an addi tional laurel to the well-earned reputation of that un rivalled buffo. His own saltatory feats and comicali ties presented, as usual, the acme of the agile combined with the grotesque. Thrice had he, in compliance with unanimous shouts, to achieve a " Burlesque Extravaganza" with inimitable prowess. Several dances of diversified character were introduced, among others a pas Styrien, in which Miss Kate Kirby and Cormack were encored ; an Ecossais by the former a ccomp li s h e d d anseuse; a Highland rant, capitally danced by Cormack, whose precision and brilliancy we have seldom, if ever, seen more advan tageously developed than in those two perform ances ; a pas de deux by Caroline Parkes and Emile Richarde, which was rapturously ap plauded ; a Swiss dance, executed with great naiveté by Mips M'Evven ; a Medley by Miss Emma Mears, and a Cracovienne by the Misses Bolton and Hen drick ; the entire being wound up:with a grand general polka by the full corps de ballet. Special mention must be accorded to Madlle. Palser, who completely captivated the enthusiastic spectators. The singularly prepossesssing appearance of this young and lovely artiste, the exquisite gracefulness, finished execution, and feathery lightness of her movements, amply justi fied:the unbounded admiration which her enchanting qualifications universally inspired. The house was crowded to the ceiling, as it doubtless will be during the continuance of such an attractive array of Terpsi chorean talent so harmoniously and brilliantly blended under Flexmore's masterly supervision. ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE. The revival of Mazeppa has been a great hit. It has already been performed upwards of seventy consecutive nights, and still continues to attract over-flowingbo ises. Mr. Batty has also engaged a most accomplished vocalist, Miss Annie Hardie, who sings Scotch ballads most effectively. We know not when we have been more pleased than we were by her rendering of the beautiful ballad, " Jessie, the Flower of Dumblane." The audience were in raptures, and Miss Annie Hardie has already become an immense favourite with the patrons of Astley's. POSTAL REGULATIONS IN SOUTH WALES.—The recent alteration in the route of the London mail, by which letters are forwarded from the metropolis and the west of England into South Wales, via Bristol and across the river Severn at the old passage, instead of through Gloucester, has caused much dissatisfaction and inconvenience at Swansea and other towel' on the route. The alleged grievance lies in the fact that the mail in crossing the passage is subject to the delays and irregularities inseparable from that mode of transit, ard that in the winter time these inconveniences will be much increased. A short time ago the London mail was delayed two hours before it reached Swansea; and this too in the summer season. Other delays have arisen, and in con sequence the inhabitants anticipate that when the winter really sets in, their correspondence, instead of arriving at eig‘lt A.M. at Swansea, will not reach them until eleven and twelve o'clock. To the west of Swansea a postal delay is of much consequence, as it reduces the opportunity for reply by return to a very short time —at Llanelly not more than two hours remaining; at Carmarthen the time is even still less. A serious amount of inconvenience may thus be caused, and, in order to avoid this, and procure the transmission of the mails through Gloucester as hitherto, the inhabitants are about to memorialize the proper authorities on the subject, in order to remedy the evil before the winter closes in.

BARTHOLOMEW•CLOSE.—The inhabitants of Bar tholomew-close, though situate in the heart of the city of London, have hitherto claimed exemption from Corporation services and fines as non-freemen. That right, however, is about to be disputed by the Bakers' Company, who have commenced proceedings for the recovery of penalties against some of the inhabitants, and subscriptions have been opened amongst them to defend their claim, which is made under a charter granted by llenry I. to Prior B o lt on , an d confirmed by Henry VIII. to Sir R.

Fox Maule, Secretary-at-NVar, has given orders that all those pensioners who had deposits in the Rochdale Savings Bank shall have their dividend made up to 20s. in the pound. A RUNAWAY HORSE.-- On Sunday forenoon, as Mr. Thompson, the wholesale shoe-manufacturer of Church street, Spitalfields, was proceeding down Snowhill in a four wheeled phaeton, accompanied by his wife, another lady, and one of his children, his horse took fright, and ran away at a furious pace. The animal was not stopped until it dashed with great violence through the shop-front of Messrs. Emery, linendrapers, at the corner of Farringdon street and Holborn-hill. The amount of damage caused by the collision was very considerable, the plate-glass windows boing shivered to atoms, and the stock and fittings much injured. Mr. Thompson received some severe bruises. The horse was badly cut, and the phaeton was dashed to pieces; but the females fortunately escaped with very trifling injury. _ - - DARING HIGHWAY ROBBERY.—On Thursday night, about ten o'clock, as Mr. Garrett, agent to the Royal Ex change Assurance Company, was returning home to his resi derce, No. 22, Carter -street, Walwortb, he was seized by one of a gang of four men, who knocked him down, and plundered him of a valuable watch. In the meanwhile Mr. Garrett, who is a very hale stout man for his years (being upwards of 70), roared so loudly that the thieves made off without rifling his pockets, in one of which be had no less a sum than between 400'. and 5COt. in notes and gold. HARLOW HORSE AND CATTLE EAIR 7 SEPT. 9.
