THE AUTHOR OF ROCKINGHAM'd NEW NOVEL. Now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 vols., NEW NOVEL, LOVE aria AMBITION. li By the AUTHOR of " ROCKINGHAM." " The announcement of a new work of tiction by tie gifted author of ' Rockingham' will be gratefully welcomed by every reader of that delightful novel. In ' Love and Ambition' we find all the character istic qualities which formerly charmed us in Rockingham,' together with other elements of interest which to many readers will perhaps be yet more attractive."—Morning Chr.,nicle • Hosary Colburn; PUblisher, 13, Great Marlborotig,h-street. Now ready at all the Libraries, in 2 vols., post M.,' • I L W 0 0 D. A NOVEL. " 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. He is a writer of genius, inspired by a high standard cf morality and religion, and by a laudable lova of the purest sort of fame. We gather thialrona 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 matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which &a acterisenature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Man nerses, and Stnythes."—Observer. "‘ Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed ing bbanty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en gaging novels which the present season has praluced. Of the cha racter of Amelia floss 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 Gerden, a wild and impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.

THIS EVENING The Grand new Spectacle of KENNILV% ORTH ; or the Golden Days of the Virgin Queen, with new and costly costumes. Together• with Batty's Splendid Scenes of the Circle, introducing the Magnificeat Stud and Company of unequalled Artistes, also, for the first time in England, M. Ghelia, with his three highly-trained Steeds, M. I'icolo Plige, the great Barrel Equilibrist, and the Bro the•rs Francisco, from the Hippodrome, Paris. To conclude with an entirely new and original grand historical Equestrian Christmas Pantomime, written expressly for this Theatre, by the author of " Bluff King Hal," to he entitled HARLEQUIN AND O'DONOGHUE ; or, The White Ilorse of Killarney. To say that this Equestrian Pantomime will be superbly " mounted," is to sr no more than must be expected ; coming, as it does, surrounded with such favourable auspices. It has been said by some authors, that O'Donoghue (but I don't know who) was a good Prince of Ireland; who, eschewing whiskey, was always chewing water, and kicking his eels (heels) at the bot tom of the Lake of Killarney, excepting once a year when, finding himself taken with a swimming in the head, he would pop up to the surface, and mounting his charger, would charge her to gallop across the Lake. Many expected that so much galloping would have thrown him into a galloping consumption ; but such has not proved the case, for same assert that not only he, but his Horse too, is " still alive and kicking." This hard galloping, or Galloparding, always occurred on the Eve df May-Day. The description of him is that he was tall—but not at all too tall—that he was handsome, and would hand some whatever they desired—that his appearance was even in the light of Day—that of an Electroplated Knight; for he was covered all over with 'a thin Coal of Silver—this Coat he could never wear out, because he was always at homd. But now to the Pantomime SCENE VIE FIRST. THE GLEN OF MISCHIEF. The Hag of Mischief, over' a Peat Fire, is still trying to elicit from an Elicit Still the Evil Spirit of Ireland, in the form of WHISKEY : who, though still in the Stillt . posi't be still, but " busts his bller," and stands confessed the RE XL POTEEN 1 „, t This pioi'erfitc Stilit is by the Ha - g'ot' 3ftlahlef, under the .disguise of Padtly.Cstrey.to tenliptand rtlin the folliiivers ' 4 Father athew" and the " Water Cure,!) whom, she tags; are therspectar, faVourites c) th . e." kyater,Drinking Fool," OlDonoglnte. - Whiskey svcears , liet de her :bidding, for he'll fire, them With: drink, .by making , theft( aCublc as blaze's.' Mischief parts • from . Whiskey with 4 ' a drop in her eyU,'",but'Whiskey is not so affected ; for he is sure that where Whiskey is, Mischief won't he rid' off. -, SCENE THE SECOND. THE LAKE OF KILLARXET!-1 The entrance to the Mansion a Lord Bullfrog is on One Mde, on the other a little inn. It being in Ireland, the sign was to hare been " a Bull," but "„bulls" not being in fashion at present, it has been changed to the " Queen's Ileac'." It being May-Day Eve, the Fairies of the Lake are seen dancing and strewing flowers on the water, as if sweetly M•Xdamizing the road, preparatory to the ap pearance of O'DO.NOGHUE ON HIS WHITE HORSE. He gallops across the Lake, says much that is well worth hearing, puts on the habit of a Beggar, and, " 0 Charming May," what a time for making a little. love ; se think the fair Kathleen and her Lover Dermot Astore, but instead of making a little, they make a great deal. She relieves the Beggars wants, and then wants to have a little more love. It has long since been an established fact, that even Cupid, who can change any man into a goose, sometimes has his own " goose eooked," and so it proves now, for Lord Bull ' frog's Cookey, discovering the Lovers, flares up, a " broil" en,ues, and all are thrown into a perfect " stew." At this cr:tical moment, Lord Bullfrog, wilh his jovial companions, return from the chase. Lady Bullfrog (to see her is to love her), with her interesting little family, comes to meet him. 'She flies into her husband's arms—and thus (as many married ladles 'have done before) stands "in-arms against her husband." Lord Bullfrog is enraged with the Lovers, so to punlsh Dermot, who is in his debt, he seizes his only friend, his Horse, by way of payment, but gets " more kicks than ha'pence." O'Donoghue, as the medicant, aids the Lovers, and Dermot's Horse is restored: LOrd - Biallfrog, being determined to get rid of his plague of a daughter, pu's her up as " a Prize," which makes her look very " blank," as he exclaims— Wheeer to-morrow brings the fairest steed, The one tha .leaps the best, has greatest sped; Shall have fair Kathleen—yes, she and all her tin, So try your lucks, and let the best Horse win. ' • ' All disperse, leavirg Dermot alone with his Horse, by whose aid, he feels certain to win his heart's dearest hope. But, alas ! " the course of true love never aid run smooth." Whiskey comes in the way, and whi-ks away his senses—then his money—and, at last, his Horse ; Wh skey mounts the Horse, and, setting up a horse laugh, gallops off with it. Dermot in despair determines to try the "Water Cure," by drowning: himself, but, is prevented by O'Dono ghue, who promises to lend him another horse for the morrow's race, and at on e takes to the bottom of the Lake. SCENE THE THIRD. THE CORAL STABLE OF THE THOUSAND STEEDS. Here O'Donoghue's White Horse is seen quite at home enjoying his banquet, waited upon by . Ponies and Water Fairies. He is in the prime of lite. " None of your has-beens," for he " never has beans," hut dines off his three courses like a gent. consisting of a TUREEN of PUMP SOUP, a dish of STEWED tIORSE LEECTIE:i and a plateau of CORN ED BEEF, the whole washed down by a bottle of CLOVER WINE. 'Raving a turn for taciturnity, he stands no " chaff," and having cut his corns, has no objections to a little dance. Dermot chooses a Horse, which, as might be expected, proves " one in a thousand." He feels " quite up in the stirrups," and as he is changing his clothes, he is closed in by changing the scene to SCENE THE FOURTH. THE LAUGIIING FOREST. Whiskey and Mischief meet again. The Evil Spirit tells the Hag that he has obtained Dennot's fay, urite Horse, and on it he hopes to win the race, and thus bring Kathleen within their power. The trees enjoy the fun, and though prec'ous old ones, " laugh like new 'uns." SCENE TILE FIFTH. MAY-DAY IN THE HILLS OF KILLARNEY. Here we find Morris Danc . ng, Running in a Sack, Grinning through a Collar, and other delicate amusements previous to the GREAT TRIAL! All the competitors seize their stirrups, and some of them " put their foot in it." But where is Dermot ? If they start without him, there will be a start will a vengeance. But no !he is coining, and very becoming he cornea. All is prepared; off they go. This proves true enough, for many go off over their horses' necks. Der mot leaps his Lord.ligp's"" gate" after a " style" of his own Whiskey being a lad of " stiat," is not at all behind. Now for the Race, which, is to decide all ! Kathleen trembl s. Whiskey must put his strength to the 'proof. Kathleen takes courage, for to her Dermot Ls far tco winning to lose—nor does he ; but Whiskey getting possession 'of Kathleen and the Fairy Steed, flies off with her. All constetna tion—"Pursue, pursue." SCENE THE SIXTH. THE PURSUIT THROUGH THE LAUGHING FOREST. O'Donoghne again befriends Dermot, by lending him his own White Horse--Cooky ha's mounted her Arabian steed, which, clever as she thought him; proves a perfect ass. SCENE THE SEVENTY!. THE LAKE QF KILLARNEY (as before). The Evil Spirit and Kathleen fly across. The Horse knows his own stable, so vanishes beneath the Lake, and thus water overcomes the power of Whiskey. -Dermot, on O'Donoghue's _White Horse, flies to the rescue of his love, and brings hersafely to land again— when, as might be expected, Dermot is aauged to Harlequin, Kath leen to Columbine, Lord Bullfrog to Pantaloon, and Bloasabella Brisket, the Fat C ok, to Clown.

Eon BEDFORDSHIRE.—The Noble Viscount has been dan gerously ill during the past week, at bis seat at Ashridge. fir James Clark, Dr. Forbes, and Mr. Spencer Wells have been in frequent. attendance, and we understand that at one time but very . faint hopes of recovery were entertained. We . are happy to add that great amendment has now taken place, which we sincerely hope may prove permanent. THE BRIGHTON RAILWAY.—The Electric Tele- . graph Company have completed the communication from Brighton to Reigate, and the communication from Reigate to London will be finished in about a week.

It is intended to run the wires under the building at the station into Trafalgar-street, and•by 'means of pipes to carry them down Trafalgar-street, along Gloucester-place;itid thence to Pegg's Royal York Hotel,' where it is intended to tix the permanent office of the company. - Brighten Paper. LORD BROUGHAM IN PARIS.—The Galignani. of Tuesday says At the Academy of Sciences yesterday, Lord Brougham read a 4upplementary paper.on his well known experiments on light. Great interest was excited amongst a numerous auditory by the contents of this paper, the reading, of which lasted an tour, andlybich may,' in fact, be considered as the complement of_ that. in• which' his Lordship last year, it may be remembered, gave an account of his previous experiments. We are sorry to perceive that his Lordship was obliged to wear a green shade over his eyes, which still continue weak. The state of his sight, we undentand, has - of late prevented Lord Brougham from going on with the-new experiments which he had projected. His Lordship left Paris last evening for England." - , SUICIDE OF A PRlSONER.—Christian Schmidt, a German, who was under examination on a charge of having defrauded Mr. Aram Marks, silversmith and jeweller, of Far-gate, Sheffield, of a quantity cf valuable property, re ported to be to the extent of MM., committed suicide yes terday at the • House of Detention. The prisoner, it ap peared, fastened his handkerchief to the gas-pipe, and was enabled to effect strangulation. This is the third suicide in the same prison within a comparatively limited period. The charge on which the prisoner was remanded was for obtain ing watches and jewellery from Mr. Marks by the agency of Austrian coupons, which turned out to be forgeriel.

The announcement of the increase in the rate of discount by the Bank of England from 2i to 3 per cent. fell like a thunderbolt on the Money Market and Stock Eirahitige. lii --- ver7;as there a more Uneipected and, we may oa, unweleorne Christmas'-bdttbrin that Which ,t 12 4- sented to "ye fayre •Citie: of I.4ondan." -- ••'4Stdniih'-' ment and !consternatiOn reigned — stipreiiie, arifl " the ' Bears reaped a temporary harvest, although by no means an equivalent foi the heavy and continuous fleecing they have encountered for thelast eight Months. The greatest excitement prevailed on every side, and there was a complete panic for a few hours, duricg which funds and shares were quoted at very reduced prices. Consols fell immediately ,three-, quarters per cent., while in railways the depreciation was still greater—London and North-Westerns fell three per share, Great Westerns two and a half, and London and Scuth-Western, which in the morning were well sustained at 801, closed at 15i, while shares in all the other lines participated in the general dete rioration. The absolute impossibility of accounting for, the change on any rational grounds increased the dismay. If there was any tangible reason that could be as signed it would have materially mitigated the alarm ; but everything appeared prosperous. There was still a goodly store of bullion in the Bank vaults—a quantity of notes unemployed far beyond the amount required by the Bank for its own business; indeed, according to the ordinary calculation, nearly 7,000,0001. sterling might be issued without infringing on the necessary reserve. Their duty to their con stituents would appear to require increased facilities calculated to bring this large amount of capital, now lying idle and unproductive, into active and remunera tive employment. Why, under such circumstances, the directors should desire to " put on the screw" was a problem of no ordinary difficulty, which could not be solved by the wise men of the east. It was therefore considered that there must be something rotten in the state of affairs—something of the most formidable character, that would speedily come to light, sufficient to justify the most serious apprehensions. Omne ignotum • pro magnifico is a well•known apho rism, the accuracy of which received ad ditional confirmation yesterday. The know ledge of the worst would be more tolerable than the doubt and uncertainty in which they were involved by the unaccountable proceedings - of the meg.: nates of Threadneedle-street. It may, therefose,'be desirable to show the true position of the Bank, so far as it can be known from the published returns. The last return for the week ending the 16Th instant, showed that the notes in circulation amounted 'to 18,279,665/., being a decrease within the week of 427,045/. ; there was also a decrease in the quantity of bullion 0f122,068/. within the same time ; but as this was scarcely in proportion to the amount of notes•with drawn, and there still remained 15,820,130/. in both departments, almost as much as there was in the most stirring period in 1845, there could be nothing on this account to fright the Buard fromits propriety, or induce them to take such a step. The notes unem ployed at the same time amounted to no less than 10,902,8251. Now, on the sth ofJuly, 1845, when the Bank was apparently in the zenith of ifB prosperity, and railway speculation was at its height, the reserve of notes only amounted to 9,279,7851., or more than 1,600,0001. less than it now is. It would, therefore, really seem as if the act of the _Hank was intended to show how utterly independent the directors were of all rules, and that they were determined to merit the general odium they had already incurred on .all sides, and also to baffle every calculation that might be attempted in reference to their proceedings. We may, perchance, be told that the adverse state of the foreign exchanges has occasioned this very strange proceeding. But we have already pointed out the causes of this unfavourable position. It springs from the alteration in the relative values of gold and silver. The former, from its superior porta bility and convenience, had for a long period been in great request, and, as a natural consequence, at a handsome premium. The large amount obtained from California within the last few years, without any corresponding addition to the stock of silver-bullion, has, however, altered the proportions of the metals. There has, therefore, been an appreciation in the price of silver of about three per cent., and a corre sponding alteration in the exchanges between coun tries where silver is the standard, as in *all the- na tions of the continent, and England, where gold is still the only standard, the change being against the latter. This, however, is not owing to the balance of trade being against this country, the only cause which could justify the " putting on of the screw," but merely to the large importations from California; and it is as useless for the directors to attempt, by any act of theirs, to keep up the price of gold in the face of its largely-increaSed production, as it was for the landowners to hope to keep up the price of corn by artificial enactments, while they were at the same time restricting the quantity, and mate rially increasing the value, of the national currency . The efforts were about as reasonable as that of Mrs. PARTINGTON to keep back the tide with her broom. If, however, there be a temporary drain of gold, owing to the uncertainty as to the deci sion of the committee DOW sitting on the currency question in the French metropolis, it only affords an additional proof of the folly of the Act of 1844, in limiting the amount of silver which the Bank was entitled to hold, fur there can be no doubt that the exportation of silver would, under present circum stances, be more effectual in rectifying the exchanges than even gold itself. We would, before concluding, express a hope that railway shareholders and others will not give way to an unreasoning timidity, or be induced to sacrifice their really valuable property for less than its real value. They will find that the effect of the preatnt T y f .L ..,:-ru ._i. e..,).x*': movement will not serve for more than a few weeks at the outside. 31arvels of every imaginable description have been already called into existence -by• the preparations ma king in all quarters for the Exhibition of Indus try. Supposing even that, by some fatality, the matter were to drop from this time henceforth, and to be altogether abandoned, the scheme would at this early period be found to have produced the most beneficial consequences, by evoking in every direction a thousand stimulants to rivalry, and to emulation of the :most wholesome character. According admirably with the actual Exposition itself, the various collateral arrangements are being conducted on a colossal and unprecedented scale. All the adjuncts are, it would seem, to be as gigantic in their dimensions and as remarkable in their conception. They are to be contrived for the entertainment or instruction not of a few, but of the million. They are to be invariably cosmopolitan. They are to appeal not to the sympathies of one class, but of all classes. They are to contrast as strikingly with each other as the commodities will infajlibly do when at length classified and distri bute 1 round the transparent walls of the Crystal Palace. Ad led to which,,it may be remarked, that these diversified offshoots of the original project have sprouted forth with a rapidity and vigour only comparable to the growth of the parent enterprise. A few weeks have witnessed their transformation from hints into realities. They have risen abruptly from the mere germ of an undertaking to its mature and extended development. From all which circumstances we feel ourselves authorized to augur well for the interests of the cause taken in hand with so much skill and energy of purpose by his Royal Highness the PRINCE CONSORT. A movement which has elicited from all sections of the community the same identical fervour of regard, the same en thusiasm in its extension, the same ardour in its general advancement cannot, we must believe,. result in anything but success the most signal and unex .pected. What confirms us yet more in the conviction !)11 to the triumph of the principle enunciated by the illustrious Consort of our SOVEREIGN is the fact that, from the initial labour of the preparations, the earnestness of the people in their regard has not only been sustained but extended. Nor can we recognize anything which indicates the diminution of this earnestness—every successive day, we might almost say every successive hour, affording some new indi cation of its spread and enhancement. Conspicuous among the collateral projects referred' to, as having 'started into existence simultaneously' with the preparatory arrangements made towards the carrying out of the Ind us t r i a l Exhibiti on , are severa l . bi'a , bhitilidte'rea ileetillarlY attractive as te:Jaierit from a more- tijTet—trad-explicit- all (pion : It - is know n generally, icTexample, thatthe'Honoarable Gentlerndif MerabA has undeatakea to coniiileleis :stupendoui' 044 to be erected in the' antrp 'oeiter-square, or 'in some more desirable locality—a globe representing on a ; scale of magnitude hitherto unattempted the geographical appearance, and' the mineral, animal, and vegetable products of the various climates and countries of either hemisphere. This at-once for the amusement and tuition of the more reflective visitors to the'Exhibition I Connected with the manner of their conveyance hither, we are in formed also of a proposition which has been made for the organizltion of a series of excursion trips, not merely in one direction across the Channel,but in the other direction likewise—across the Atlantic! Steam vessels, it,is intimated, are to convey the citizens of th e United States to and fro between America and England at a charge never before imagined possible, even in times of the most liberal competition. As to tile'Tpreparations making for the reception of foreigners in this metropolis, those are in, one or, two instances of a nature more vast than may be conjectured. Besides the enterprising scheme already announced by ourselves and our contemporaries, as having been adventured upon by M. ALEXIS SOYER, the grand maestro of the cuisine, there are others of a like kind and of almost equal excellence in active preparation. In some of the more conveniently situated suburbs of the capital new dwelling-houses are being has tily erected, and whole streets have 'been taken, and furnished with a view to be let in detail as "apart ments." Hotels are multiplying, especially towards the West-end, and in connexion with these hotels will be spacious 'dining-rooms and regulated ordi naries. It should be borne in recollection, moreover, that while provision is thus being made for the corporeal comforts of the foreign and native visitors to the Exhibition, efforts of a very laudable description are also being made in furtherance of their moral im provement and intellectual recreation. Among these not one, to our thinking, can be considered as more suggestive than the project of a Grand Chess Tour nament. In the history of that great game—a game entitled to the more dignified epithet of a science—no more interesting incident will be recorded than that which will here lend another brilliant and extraordinary attraction to the Exhibition of Industry. When it is considered that the Chess Tour nament will be presided over throughout by the greatest chess-player now living, one who in some respects may even be considered the greatest chess player that has ever lived, it may be confidently ex pected that the highest anticipations in its regard will in all human likelihood be realised. As may be ob• served by reference to a communication addressed to us by a correspondent—a communication published elsewhere in our impression of this evening —arrange ments are now being actively made for the carrying out , the scheme' of the proposed Tournament in a manner worthy of the occasion, and worthy also of its eminent originator, Mr. llowarip STAUNTON. We shall watch the progress of this among numerous other projects connected with the Year of Exhibition, with an interest proportioned to its value, and ac: cordant also with the spirit of enthusiasm out of which the whole movement has emanated. What ever may be the result of other arrangements, an enterprise like this, inspired by a consummate chess player like HOWARD STAUNTON, cannot but affect every intelligent observer with an irresistible fasci nation. - NEW USE OF THE ELECTRIC TELvoitArns.--The telegraph now gives notice of storms. Fur example, the telegraph at Ching° and Toledo notifies ship -masters at Cleveland and Buffalo, and also on Lake Ontario, of the ap proach of the north-west storm. The result is practically of great importance. A hurricane storm traverses the atmos phere at the rate of a carrier pigeon, namely, sixty miles an hour. A vessel in the port of New York, about to sail for New Orleans, may be telegraphed twenty hours in advance, that a south-west storm is advancing on the coast from the Gulf of Mexico. 'We are only on the threshold of the real substantial advantages which may be rendered by the elec tric telegraph. In Great Britain and Ireland the advantages 'to the shipping interest by the announcement of approaching storms, would be incalculable by preventing them leaving safe harbours until after they had passed, or by signals on various parts of the coast, directing them to take shelter at the nearest port.

We have received the Pi.ris journals of yesterday. The Constitutionnel, in the course of a long article from the pen of Dc VFRoN, cn the facility with Which revolutions may be. made in France, says, in allusion to the, Allais conspiracy—'' If we are cor rectly informed, it , was under the dictation of M. DUPIN, the President' of the Assembly, that the article of the Journal des _Mats was written. 7 This is a most serious accusation, seeing that the articlein questiort" was not signed by M. DUPIN, although published after the Tingery law catne in force. The publication of this accusation may b e cons id ere d t o indicate that the breach between M. DUPIN and M. - Louts BONAPARTE is now complete; henceforth they are at war. The Ordre, alluding to an article in the lndepen dance of Brussels about Count MOLEi throws dia.- credit on the statement of his having, gone to the Ely sec to.a sure Louts NAPOLE ON that his intention in forming a new Parliamentary 'club' was not in hos tility but devotedness to the PRESIDENT. The Ordre supposes M. MOLE and his friends to be desirous of a fusion of the two great monarchical parties, but ac• quits him of any desire to create agitation, and even expresses itself in a way which shows that it is not so opposed to a fusion as some persons have imagined. The adjudication of the two million loan is fixed for Tuesday, the 31st inst. The trial of ALLAIS was resumed yesterday. There was a considerable amount of business in rail road shares transacted at theßourse, and a further rise took place. The Government Stock was firm.
