YO USG ITALY. Ey Alexander Bailie Cochrane, A brilliant contributor► to the Palian serving as materials lir the future Sismondi, has tic en made in this eloquent old picturesque narrative by the Honourable Gentleman the Member for Brid port. From the opening sentence to the conclusion we have perused the work before us with an extra ordinary sense of gratification. For while in several particulars our opinions are directly at variance with the political sentiments entertained by the author, our warmest sympathies are commanded in his favour by the spirit of gentleness and magnanimity pervading the entire performance. As a literary composition the book is one of no ordinary character, possessing merits in this respect which must inevitably tend to widen the popularity of Mr. Cochrane, and materially to raise his reputation. Several of the episodes introduced into the narrative would re flect honour upon the ability cf even our most emi nent living rumancist, Sir 13ulwer Lytton, to whom the volume is very gracefully ded•,catcd, "partly from the pardonable ambition to have the writer's name, however bri,fly, tissociated with his imperishable fame, partly because to his kind suggestions the work owes whatever slight merit it may possess." These are the modest expressiuns in which Mr. Cochrane inscribes his latest effusion to the author of "Rienzi," and the circumstance intimated towards the close of the dedication cannot but invest that effusion with an be found at pages 116-118, is one of some moment, and appears to us to be altogether irrefragable. Another section of the volume, Leaded " The allount Quirinal," is followed by a description of " The Feast of the Golden Rose," and this again by an inquiry into the problem of the "Temporal and Spiritual Authority of the Pope," in the course of which Mr. Cochrane says almost wittily, " the keys of St. Peter have been hitherto guarded by the sword of St. Paul." A beautiful tribute is paid by him, soon after, to the munificence of the ecclesiastical establishments of Catholicism, in a chapter on " Monte Casino." Howard, the philan thropist, might almost be expected to rise from his ashes with horror, at the description given, further on, of the prison of Naples. An interview a hich took place between the writer and the King (which may be found at page 275), will be read with un• feigned satisfaction. The last portions of the aork under consideration are partially composed of frag ments, already printed in the columns of our con temporary the Times, under the signature of the person humorously designated by Ur. Cochrane, " that most able, eloquent, and universally esteemed gentleman, ' our oan correspondent.'" The most remarkable portion of the allele book, how• ever, we have hitherto refrained from men tioning, desirous as we were to close our comments upon " Young Italy" with an earnest en comium upon it as on historical composition. It is the chapter inscribed " The Murder of Rossi," and depicts in startling colours the whole of that ghastly tragedy. It affords a noble and touching proof of the eloquence and humanity of the author, and pre sents to the imagination a picture so terrible in its vividness that it cannot very speedily be obliterated from the recollection. additional and £dventitious attraction. Altogether apart, however, from any such incidental allurement, the pages of "Young Italy" abound with charms of their own such as are certain to arrest the attention of the intelligent, and to secure to the author from the more discriminating among his readers a very large amount of earnest and cordial admiration. We speak thus emphatically because in this volume we recog nise the evidences of those noble qualities which we would ever see acknowledged as the national character istics of all true Englishmen. We detect in its reproba tion of atrocity, in its homage to misfortune, in its panegyrics on virtue in ita tender commemorations of beneficence, that largeness and soundness of heart which are the first essentials of a chivalrous tem perament. We perceive in the very extravagance with which some of its scornful passages, and some ANNALS of the PENINSULAR CAMPAIGNS. By Thomas Hamilton. A New Edition. Anything more than a cursory reference to the fact of this present republication would be a species of impertinence to the merit of the work itself and to the author's wide and brilliant reputation. What is par ticularly commendable in the present edition is the circumstance of its having been carefully revised and augmented by Frederick Hardman, already well known as the author of "Peninsular Scenes and Sketches." In revising and augmenting a history so popular in its previous form, Mr. Hardman has acted, to our thinking, under all considerations most judi ciously ; not introducing matter in any respect super fluous, or erasing passages of any importance or in terest whatever. The labour, in fact, which he has had to accomplish as editor has been nothing less than the interpolation of illustrative anecdotes and mili tary particulars towards the latter portion of the narrative, the history as originally penned being more copious in both those particulars at its commence ment than towards its conclusion. Besides which it should be borne in mind that since the first appear ance of these "Annals of the Peninsular Campaigns," by Mr. Hamilton, now some twenty years bygone, a variety of works and documents have been penned or produced, to which its author was denied access by the premature character of his undertaking ; all which ',yolks and documents have been scrupulously consulted and collated by Mr. Hardman, with a view to perfect as far as possible the task of emendation. For example., he has had to consult the volumes of Colonel (now General Sir William) Napier, of Colo nel Toreno, of Mr. Alison, and, beyond all others, Colonel Gurwood's collection of the "Despatches" of his Grace the Duke of Wellington. Aided by these remarkable documents, the editor of these annals has been enabled to improve them very materially both in respect to the amount of their details and their indivi dual correctness. How far Mr. Hardman was quali fied to attempt the fulfilment of the duties devolving upon him in this double toil of revision and aug mentation, may be conjectured by those already acquainted with his literary productions, as well as from the fact of his having familiarised himself by personal scrutiny with nearly all the ground fought over by the British soldiers from the Ebro to Toulouse. This conjecture of his capa city to accomplish all required from him in his newly assumed office, will be resolved into a conviction with any one who may take the trouble to compare Hamilton's Annals of the Peninsula as they were when orignally printed, and as they are in their pre sent form of republication. also of its generous eulogiums are articulated, the tokens of an impassioned nature, the testimonies of an impulsive and emotional disposition. In an age when most men are assuming an air of ennui or in difference, when among the many despicable affec tations of fashion the most conspicuous is that of being blase, our heart leaps up within us at any manifestation of earnestness such as is here die played by Mr. Cochrane in his narrative of the Italian movement. We welcome his record of that revolution with the sincerest satisfaction, what though in some particulars we may differ from- him in his predilections and prejudices ; and the warmth of our welcome is attributable to a respect for his energy in advocating principles as bold as they are evidently conscientious. " Young Italy" is a production which does infinite honour to the heart and brain of Mr. Cochrane, being no less genial from its liberality and enthusiasm, than from eclectic taste and ripened scholar ship. It pre sents to the imagination of the reader a rapid and animated panorama of the principal occurrences which transpired during the late convulsion of the Roman peninsula. Beginning with a brief, but suggestive chapter on Cannes, in the course of which the hospi tality of Lord Brougham is celebrated under the pseudonym of Leelius, the narrative, by an agreeable transition from that existing locality to its dead asso ciations, commemorates the glory of the Ist of March, and so traverses the plains of France until its arrival in the streets of Paris. Having summoned up from the recollections of the past some of the many wondrous phantoms of greatness which rise in the memory at the mere mention of Napoleon le Grand, the author, on passing through the ante-chambers of the Ely see Bourbon to make his respects to the Prince President, cannot refrain from ejaculating, " Oh, that Ely:6e l—what a long history it might tell of broken fortunes, and worse than broken faith. As I stand in its magnificent reception rooms,crowded with the interesting memorials of the empire collected from all parts of Paris, the old curiosity shop of past glories, gazing upon the nephew of that man whose name illustrated not France alone, but Europe, be cause he was the proudest type of human greatness — observing that nephew installed there in almost regal splendour, with his pale and earnest countenance, yet always anxious steps, my heart recals the past and trembles for the future." A reflection, this, still more appropriate at this present moment, when the imperial Prince is traversing the southern departments of the Republic, at once invested with the shadowy purple of Napoleon, and preceded by the fasces of Democracy. Passing across Piedmont, the narrator introduces us into the midst of Lombardy at the time when the heroic but unfortunate Charles Albert was beaten back by the forces of the great Marshal, and where on the fatal field of Novara he expiated his dream of Italian inde pendence. How disinterested our commendations of Mr. Cochrane's earnestness are in some particulars may be guessed when we observe that he labours under the delusion that the Lombards cherish an af fection for the Austrian Government ! " At Novara," MAPS ILLUSTRATIVE of the CAMPAIGNS in the PENINSULA. By Alexander Keith Johnston. An excellent series of maps from the hand of Mr. Johnston, numbering altogether twenty-four, has been issued in the shape of a companion volume to the military annals just referred to, as the joint produc tion of Messrs Hamilton and Hardman. Already fa miliar to us in the s plendid atlas illustrating the later edition of Alison's " Europe," and consequently already very frequently eulogised in our columns as engravings worthy of the distinguished Scottish geographer, it is only necessary for us to enumerate the maps which have been selected as representing at a glance the various cities and localities connected with the Peninsular victories. After an admirable outline of Spain and Portugal, come, in their several positions, the lines of Torres Vedras, the plan of Ciudad Rodrigo, a map of the ryrenees, a sketch of the attack of the French in trenched position on the Nivelle, the Sieges of Serra gossa, Gerona, Tarragona, Badajez, Bargos, and San Sebastian, together with the battles of Medina De Rio-Seco, Vimeira, Corunna, Talavera, Ocana, Busaco, Barossa, Albuera, Salamanca, Vittoria, Ba yonne, Orthes, and Toulouse. In the limning of each of these famous spots Mr. Johnston has acquitted himself more than creditably—every road, elevation, or watercourse being marked with as scrupulous an exactitude, as the bodies of infantry, cavalry, and ar tillery involved in the different engagements. says Mr. Cochrane, " Charles Albert was a hero ; it was the last effort ( f expiring greatness ; he defended himself single-handed against repeated assaults of fresh troopers : three horses were shot under him—to use his own phrase, he sought to die ; it was the su pernatural struggle of a man against his destiny." The following anecdote of the fallen monarch cannot be perused without emotion ; it recounts an incident which occurred shortly after his abdication : " He arrived at Alassis quite worn out with fatigue and anxiety, where he was driven to the principal hotel; it is one of those old picturesque palaces, with very dingy decorations, and bearing iu every article of furni ture an impress of fallen grandeur. The man and the scene were adapted to each other. After passing up the old time-worn, narrow staircase he entered a great hall, from which the rooms branched in all directions, where the first object that struck him was his own portrait, hanging against the wall ; he was there represented with all the paraphernalia of royalty; it was taken soon after his accession, when the people were enthusiastically attached to him, and the recollection of the past, added to tt e misery of the present, made him burst into tears. A slight breakfast was prepared, and he sat down oppo site the picture, intently gazing on it ; suddenly he turned round to the young girl who was waiting on him, and asked her if she remembered the King when he passed by in 1835. No,' she answered, ' I was such a child, but I am quite sure that you are the King!' How do you know that if you never saw him?' he asked. She pointed to the picture upon the wall—he pointed to his own sad, grief-worn face, and said, 'ls it so like." As our author very justly observes, this unfortunate Sovereign was " one of the few men who, without ex aggerated phrase, may be said to have died of a broken heart." Expiring at Oporto crownless, almost companionless, and in exile, with all the visions of his ambition dissipated, he left his country the re . collection of his heroism and his misfortunes, re ceiving himself from the grateful Parliament of Turin the designation of The Magnanimous. Immediately after his description of the last victory achieved in Northern Italy by the veteran Radetzky, our author introduces one of those episodical romances to which we have already alluded as imparting such a peculiar fascination to the work under review, and as evidencing a remarkable improvement in the powers of Mr. Cochrane as a novelist. " The Madonna of Genoa" is an exquisite version of the story connected with the last and the greatest production of Pelegrino Piola, the celebrated Madonna painted for the com pany of Genoese goldsmiths. After this, as if by way of startling contrast, comes a stern, and inexorable narrative of the events which marked the rise, development, reign and downfall of Republicanism in the Eternal City. This portion of the volumes, comprised within pages 53-129, affords a vivid notion of the Roman democracy, and is followed, as though by way of relief to the reader, by another romantic story of a painter, entitled "The Two Artists," those two artists being none other than Francois Boucher and Joseph Vernet. In analysing the character of his present Holiness Pope Pius IX. tt e author has evidently divested himself at the outset of all partialities and antipathies. To sum up in a few words his estimate both of Pius IX. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBOENE, TUESDAY. The Right Hon. Sir Francis Baring had the honour of joining the Royal dinner circle yesterday, and remained at Osborne last evening, on a visit to the Queen and the Prince. The unfavourable state of the weather this fore noon prevented her Majesty and Prince Albert from taking their accustomed early walk. The Royal children were likewise prevented from taking their pony and walking exercise in Osborne Park this morning. and of Gregory XVI., we might say that he regards the former as the embodiment of Mediocrity striving to screen itself by Severity, and the latter as the very incarnation of Goodness, marred by Weakness of character. Pius IX., he says, in one of his epigram matic sentences, "could deny a favour with a happier grace than Gregory XVI. could grant one." The two men are in a manner calotyped by that single observation. The eve of the memorable outbreak of the 16th of November is described in befitting terms of solemnity. Count Rossi had that morning been assassinated —on the following day the pontifical palace of the Quirinal was to be bombarded. Mr. Cochrane, in a tone of awe that is irresistibly pathetic, exlaims— " What traveller who stood that night on the place in front of the mightiest monument ever reared by a Christian faith, or adorned by man's genius, listening to the full of the waters as they dash down the sides of those glorious fountains, and gazing on the statues of the 11,1 y and mighty men who had died for the cross, standing forth in the bright blue air as the guardians of the frith which their lives adorned; who could have be lieved that the person of the head of that church, the expounder of its tenets, that Gud's Vicegerent on earth, the old man at one time so loved by the people, and so eloquent in their cause, would in a few snort hours be driven forth by that same people, from the ancient city, a proscribed F xile from beneath the shadow cf that church which St. Peter founded."

This argument, which may THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JENNY LIND'S DEPARTURE FOR AMERICA. LIVEEPOC)L, WEDNESDAY. —W e doubt whether Jenny Lind, in the whole course of her unparalleled career, ever met with a manifestation cf public feel ing so grand as that which accompanied her depar ture this morning for the United States. No sove reign, however popular —no conqueror, however re nowned—no person in any sense the idol of the people—could have been attended with more signifi cant honours than those which have been accorded to this gifted artist—honours the more valuable because so purely and entirely spontaneous. The bead of the police having officially intimated that if Mdlle. Lind tcok her departure from the hotel to the steam. boat at the hour that had been mentioned in the newspapers, he could not undertake to be answerable that there might not he some accident, in cons( quence of the pressure of the crowd, it became requisite at a late hour on Tuesday night to alter the previous arrangements, and to keep the new ones secret. At a quarter to eight in the morning, con siderably more than an hour before the time origi nally fixed upon, the modest brougham in which Jenny Lind has traversed this town was drawn up at the private door of the Adelphi Hotel, and, without the fact of her departure being known to any but the few persons who were connected with the ar rangement, she was enabled to leave privately and without eclat. Mr. Benedict accompanied her in her carriage, and then followed a couple of hired vehicles, containing M. Belletti (who goes with her to America), M. Vivier, and a few chosen friends, who were to accompany her on board. It was amus ing to see the precautions taken to preserve the incog nito of the object of so much attraction. On arriving at the pier -head, the party were not able to proceed at once to the small steam-boat hired to carry them on board the Atlantic, some mistake having been made in the orders. Thus Mdlle. Lind was obliged to wait for a few minutes, during which time the rumour of her presence spread, and she could not be protected, even by the police, from the vulgar gaze of a crowd of persons who surrounded her till she bad scarcely breathing space, and whose rudeness found but a poor excuse in their natural curiosity. At length the tug boat was brought alongside, and Mdlle. Lind and her friends soon arrived under the lea of the mammoth steamer which was to bear her to the United States. The fair voyager seemed in excellent spirits. Mean while, the good people of Liverpool, who had been led to believe that she would not go on board until half past 9 or 10 at least, had been slowly but steadily assem bling in crowds, to catch a glimpse of her as she em barked. Some were waiting at the Adelphi, others at good points of view on the way, others on the piers and lining the shores of the Mersey, while many , thousands (we do not exaggerate) crowded the innu merable steamers and other craft that were lying about in the river. But she had given them all "the slip," and was safe on the deck of the steamer, bid ding adieu to her friends, and striving by ber own exuberance of high spirits to keep up those of her future compagnons de voyage. At about ten o'clock a gun from the Atlantic announced that the magnifi cent steam-ship was under weigh ; and then, as she steamed slowly past the town of Liverpool, bearing nearer the town than to the Cheshire side, one of the most splendid ovations ever offered to any public per. son ensued. Salutes were fired from either side oi the river, which were returned from the bows of the Atlantic; the broad bosom of the Mersey was crowded with craft, all bearing their human freight. The shores were lined with people, and the shouts of these masses of congregated human beings were deafening. As the enormous steamer majestically made her way towards the mouth of the river, surrounded and followed to an immense distance by river steamers and small craft, through the lines of people who were massed on the shore, the whole formed an aquatic triumphal procession for which we remember no parallel, except the grand scene in Portsmouth Harbour on the arrival of Louis Philippe on his visit to our Queen. As for Jenny Lind, who had lung before taken affectionate leave of the friends who had accompanied her from the shore, she was to be seen standing by the side of the captain on the paddle box, her petite but graceful form clearly dis cernible as she waved her handkerchief in answer to the enthusiastic cheers of the assembled thousands. Surely such a tribute was never yet paid to an artist in this country. A silver tea-kettle and two silver candlesticks were presented yesterday to Jenny Lind, on behalf of the Southern Hospital —one wing of which is an archi tectural emanation from her charming vocal organ, gratuitously exercised. Mr. Benedict, besides the testimonial we have already mentioned, was also pre sented with a snuff-box by the committee of the Phil harmonic Society. Oa Monday night, between the parts of " The Messiah," an address was presented, in the " green room," to Mdlle. Lind, which we subjoin : To Mdlle. Jenny Lind,—The committee of the Li verpool Philharmonic Society cannot allow Mdlle. Jenny Lind to take her (they trust) temporary departure frcm a country where her talents have excited so enthusiastic a sensation, and th© kindness < f her heart has left so deep an impression, without assuring her of their be s t wistes for her health and prosperity during her sojourn in a di:WA land. " Disappointed as they were that circumstances de prived them of her powerful assistance at the opening of their Hall, they feel much gratified that it has at length been graced by her presence, • and they cannot but think that it will be an agree a bl e rem i n i scence t o Mdlle.

The committee, with their best thanks to Mdlle. Lind for her kindness on the present occasion, beg to assure her that they feel the warmest interest in her which th e y are certain will b e as been in every country she has as take their l eave of her with the 3 p ,e r p rogress triumphantess visited,i n andAaam e it r hh i e c a) a s. , hope that, as they have had the pain of witnessing her departure, so she will give them the pleasure of being the first to welcome her return to England —a country where she is so highly honoured and esteemed.

The contracting parties further engage that when the said canal shall have been completed they will protect it from interruption, seizure, or un just confiscation, and that they Rill guarantee the neutrality thereof, so that the said canal may for ever be open and free, and the capital invested therein se cure. Nevertheless, the Governments of Great Britain and the United States, in according their pro tection to the construction of the said canal, and guaranteeing its neutrality and security when com pleted, always understand that this protection and guarantee are granted conditionally, and may be withdrawn by both Governments, or either '.3rovern ment, if both Governments or either Government should deem that the persons or company undertaking or managing the same adopt or establish such regula tions concerning the traffic thereupon, as are contrary to the spirit and intention of this convention ; either by making unfair discriminations in favour of the commerce of one of the contracting parties over the commerce of the other, or by opposing oppressive ex actions or unreasonable tolls upon passengers, vessels, goods, wares, merchandise, or other articles. Nei ther party, however, shall withdraw the aforesaid pro tection and guarantee without first giving six months' notice to the other. Art. 6. The contracting parties in this convention engage to invite every s tat e w ith which both or either have friendly intercourse, to enter into stipu lations with them similar to those which they have entered into with each other, to the end that all other states may share in the honour and advantage of having contributed to a work of such general inte rest and importance as the canal herein contemplated; and the contracting parties likewise agree that each shall enter into treaty stipulations with such of the Central American states as they may deem advisable, for the purpose of more effectually carrying out the great design of this convention—namely, that of con structing and maintaining the said canal as a ship communication between the two oceans for the bene fit of mankind, on equal terms to all, and of protect ing the same ; and they also agree that the good offices of either shall be employed when requested by the other, in aiding and assisting the negotiation of such treaty stipulations; and should any differences arise as to right or property over the territory through which the said canal shall pass, between the states or governments of Central America, and such differences should in any way impede or obstruct the execution of the said canal, the Governments of Great Britain and the United States will use their good offices to settle such differences in the manner best suited to promote the interests of the said canal, and to strengthen the bonds of friendship and alliance which exist between the contracting parties. Art. 7. It being desirable that no time should be unnecessarily lost in commencing and constructing the said canal, the Governments of Great Britain and the United States determine to give their support and encouragement to such persons or company as may first offer to commence the same, with the necessary capital, the consent of the local authorities, and on such principles as accord with the spirit and intention of this convention ; and if any persons or company should already have, with any state through which the proposed ship canal may pass, a contract for the construction of such a ca na l as th a t spec ifi e d i n this convention, to the stipulations of which contract neither of the contracting p a rti es i n this convention have any just cause to object, and the said persons or company shall, moreover, have made preparations and expended time, money, and trouble, on the faith of such contract, it is hereby agreed that such persons or company shall have a priority of claim over every other person, persons, or company, to the protection of the Governments of Great Britain and the United States, and be allowed a year, from the date of the exchange of the ratifications of this convention, for concluding their arrangements, and presenting evi dence of sufficient capital subscribed to accom plish the contemplated undertaking ; it b e i ng understood that if, at the expiration of the aforesaid period, such persons or company be not able to commence and carry out the proposed enterprise, then the Governments of Great Britain and the United States shall be free to afford their protection to any other persons or company that shall be prepared to com mence and proceed with the e T h Governmentsnotonly y Great r ß e d r t i a n i n e n and r the intoing tins convention, to accomplish a particular ob• ject, but also to establish a general principle, they hereby agree to ext en d t h e i r protection by treaty stipulations to any other practicable communications, whether by canal or railway, across the isthmus which connects North an d S outh America ; and especially to the inter-oce an i c commun i cat i ons, should the same prove to be p ract i ca bl e, whether by canal or railway, which are now proposed to be established by the way of Tehuantepec or Panama. In granting, however, their joint protection to any such canals or railways as are by this article specified, it is always under stood by Great Britain and the United States that the parties constructing or owning the same shall impose no other charges or conditions of traffic thereupon than the aforesaid Governments shall approve of as just and equitable; and that the same canals or rail ways, being open to the subjects and citizens of Great Britain and the United Stares on equal terms, shall also be open on like terms to the subjects arid citizens of every other state which is willing to grant thereto such protection as Great Britain and the United States engage to afford. Art. 9. The ratification of this convention shall be exchanged at Washington within six months from this day, or sooner if possible.

Last evening a grand swimming fete was given at the Holborn Baths, for the benefit of Mr. George Pewters, champion of England, and Mr. Roberson, the next best swimmer in th e wor ld. N o t w i t h stan d ing the very unfavourable state of the weather, the baths were numerously attended by a highly respectable company, amongst whom we observed several noblemen and gentlemen well known to be great patrons of the manly art of swimming. Upon the occasion a massive silver Leander medal was contested for—the match being open to all the world, excepting those who had gained gold prizes. The entries for the same were fifteen, compris ing some of the best swimmers of the day. After a sharp contest the prize was awarded to David Young, who had been throughout the favourite, and backed at 2tol to come in a winner. After this race, which was an excellent one, a fine gold pin was swam for, open to those who had never won a prize. The struggle for this was fine, and we must say that never did we witness a better contested match. The winner was Mr. Davenport, who certainly swam in first rate style, and came iu by a powerful effort in a gallant manner. After the matches had been disposed of, Messrs. Pewters and Roberson entered the water to ex hibit their separate powers as fast switnnaers. The rate they travelled at was truly astounding, Pewters of course keeping the lead, though not at any great distance. Pewters then dived in fully dressed, and succeeded, before retiring from the water, in bringing him se lf t o a state (1 nudity. This performance is looked upon as the most difficult in the art of swimming. Evans Evans, an amateur, then entered the water, and succeeded in greatly delighting the company by a series of extraordinary swimming feats. Mr. Howson, without excepti on th e fi nest f ancy swimmer in the world, and Master Smith, then went through some of their performances, and certainly, we must confess, never in our lives did we see anything which could approach the extraordinary floating powers of Mr. Howson. Mr. Styles also tended to increase the evening's amusements by his diving feats, and, after a finely-contested sweepstakfs, the entertainments were terminated. In conclusion, we must state that every accommodation was afforded to the spectators by the spirited proprietor of this magnificent bath. 'IIE LATE SUICIDE IN KENSINGTON GARDENS.- Yesterday an inquest was held by Mr. H. M. Wakley, at the King and Queen Tavern, Paddington-green, on the body of the gentleman, name unknown, who shot himself with a pistol, in Kensington-gardens on Monday last. It appeared from the eviaence of James Dunn, one of the gardeners, that a few minute s b e f ore 3 o'clock onMonday last, he heard the report of a pistol, as he was at work near the walk running from Bayswater, and on looking round he saw the deceased lying on the grass within 150 yards of him. He turned the body round, and perceived a wound in the breast from which blood was flowing. Mr. Hills, a surgeon, who was called upon to afford his services, found the gentleman to be quite dead, the ball from the pistol having passed through his heart and come out at his back. On searching the clothes of the deceased, a gold Geneva watch and chain were found, and an embroidered green and red silk bag, containing 51. 7s. 4d., was taken from the pocket of his trousers. In the coat-pocket a slip of leather was discovered in a hollow part of which were three slips of parchment, about 18 inches long, covered with Hebrew characters. A small quantity of gunpowder, a bullet, and some percussion caps were in the waistcoat pocket. The jury returned a verdict that " The deceased destroyed himself by discharging a loaded pistol through his heart, but no evidence had been given as to the state of his mind at the time." FUNERAL OF THE LATE RECORDER OF LONDON.--- On Tuesday morning, at half-past eight o'clock, the remains of the Right Hon.

The funeral procession was unostentatious, con sisting of a hearse drawn by four horses and three mourning coaches. The funeral was strictly private.

Shortly after his departure Ma dame d'A-- received the sad news of the less of the vessel in which he had embarked, and in which " every soul on board bad perished." The lady is handsome, clever, and ambitious, and (after the usual time for retirement and " mourning") was not long in securing the attentions of Lord W—, whose im mense fortune and roving fancy have rendered him the mark for the combined attacks of every European mother and daughter for the last seven years. The day was fixed for the marriage, the trousseau was most magnificent, the wecleieg jewels superb as those of a royal princess, everything, in short, served to announce the generosity of the bridegroom, and to give fresh proofs of his enormous riches ; when, lo ! on the very morning which was to have beheld the consummation of all his hopes, comes a letter from Paraguay (not Peru, unfortunately) signed by the undrowned Count A—, wherein he threatens the lady with the law, and declares that his eye is upon her, and will be while he lives, wherever he may be. The poor Countess fainted at the news. Lord IV-- totk the railway, and is running about free and un fettered still. Three years have elapsed since this adventure, when, last spring, news, fully confirmed this time, officially reported too by the consul of some unheard. of town on the coast of Mexico, once more arrived of the demise of this tough, everlasting, inde structible husband. Thereupon the Countess sets forth again in the matrimonial chase with redoubled vigour, and brings down another young Englishman of 24 years of age, of good family and immense ex pectations. Some latent mistrust, however, on the part of the lady, the fruit of her past experience no doubt, induced her to keep the marriage secret until it was fairly accomplished. It took place at the Em bassy two months ago, and with the return of fortune, station, and happiness, the quondam Countess now becomes plain Mrs. W--, had resumed her old dominion over the English world, and gave promise of much goodly entertainment for her countrymen during the coming winter. A large hotel in the Champs Ely sees had already been hired ; great balls and concerts were already spoken of, when, just as we had made sure of much feasting and rejoicing at Mr. W--'s expense, a dreadful report reaches us and ffils us with dismay. Last Saturday morn ing, at eleven o'clock, a stranger, weary and toil. worn, with muddy boots and broken hat—buttoned up to the throat, as though evidently having nothing to hide—entered the brilliant apartment where the newly-married couple were enjoying their golden honeymoon. No one was up to re ceive him, but he cared not, for breakfast was spread upon the table, and he began to devour every delicacy which was there to be found, without choice or scruple. Ile had scarcely finished, when Mr. W--, attired in his morning gown and slippers, entered the room, and had no time to be a:,toni,hed at the appearance of the free and easy stranger, be cause he was immediately dumbfoundered by the ques tion of " Who are you ?" put to him by that cool personage in the most natural manner possible. The explanation which ensued must have been the most comical thing imaginable. " The Undying One," undrowned and unhung, had returned again to claim his dear wife.

SHOCKIN G ATTEMPT at MURDER. On Saturday morning last a murderous assault was committed by a wife upon her husband, in the usually peaceful town of Gate-house-upon-Fleet, which has natu rally produced a good deal of excitement in the locality. As the eve is in the hands of the proper authorities we raft sin from entering into details of the occurrence, but may mention the following for the information of the public. About ten months ago a medical man named Mason commenced practice in Gatehouse. He had some years before practised in Dumfries, and afterwards re sided for three years on the eastern shores of the lift-di tet ranean, in the capacity, we believe, of a medical mis sionary. During that period he converted, or supposed he hud converted, a Jewess, about 30 years of age, who resided i❑ Constantinople. lie brought her to this coun try, and she was baptised in the Free Church of Max welltown, as having embraced the tenets of the Christian faith. Dr. Mason immediately afterwards married her, and came to reside at Gatehouse, along with a son and daughter by a former marriage. About seven o'clock on Saturday morning last, when Dr. Mason was dressing, his wife suddenly jumped out of bed and attacked him in the most . furious manner with some sharp instrument—a razor, probably, or surgical instru ment—with which she inflicted several severe wounds. He succeeded in rushing from the room, and ran inta another, where be fell down exhausted from the loss of blood. An alarm was immediately given, and aid afforded to the wounded man. On entering the room where the assault had been committed Mrs. Mason was found sitting quietly in an apartment filled with smoke proceeding from the bed, which she bad set on fire. The flames were with some difficulty suppressed, and her parson secured. It was found that the unfortunate man had received three wounds, each of a severe and serious nature—one on the throat and jaw, which nar rowly missed the carotid artery; one upon the back of the head; and a.frightful gash on the arm above the wrist. Ile has lost a great quantity of blood, and is in a very dangerous state. An express was immediately dis patched to the authorities at Kirkcudbright, with infor mation of the occurrence, and on their proceeding to Gatehouse, the usual examination of the circumstances was made, after which the ac cused party was rent to Kirkcudbright gaol. We learn that the assault appears from various circum stances to have been premeditated, a formidable weapon having been found, apparently prepared for some mur derous purpose; and a large stone was discovered in the bed on which the unhappy pair had slept during the previous night. An attempt was also made, we under stand, upon the life of Dr. Mason's son, a young lad, after hi. f ither had been wounded, which happily was unsuccessful, the boy escaping uninjured. There are various reports in circulation end surmises made as to the motives which could have urged the commission of this dreadful deed of violence, partly founded upon statements made by the woman when in custody, and also as to the state of her mind, especially within the last few weeks; but into these matters it would at pre sent be premature to enter. Dr. Mason resides in a house near the foot of the principal atrcet of the town, which he has occupied since Whitsunday. He is attended by the other medical men of the place, and is quite sen sible, though excessively weak from loss of blood. On Sunday mor❑ing his case was considered to be more fa vourable.—Dumfries Courier; Aug. 20. MONEY MARKET.—The premium on gold at Pahl Is 8 par mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3!. 17s. lOid. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex- change of 25.36; and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25.30, it follows that gold is 0.24 per cint. dearer in Paris than in London. By advice, from Hamburgh the price of gold is 4334 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17r. Mid. per ounce for standaro gold, gives an exchange of 13.91; and the ex change at Ilamburgh on London at short being 13.81, it follows that gold is 0.12 per cent. dearer in Ham burgh than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London for bills at 60 days' sight is 110} per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per oent., it follows that the exchange is nominally. 0 67 per cei.t, in favour of Eng land, and after making allowance for difference of interest and charges of transport, the present rate leaves a small profit on the importation of gold from the United States. MAN DROWNED AT GRANTON.-011 Tuesday morning the body of a man who had been recently drowned was found on the sea beach at Grantee. The body was subsequently identified to be that of Mr. Robert Crosth waits traveller to Mr. Joseph Usher (late Mr. John Airey) , manufacturer of black-lead pencils, Keswick, Cumberland. It was ascertained that the deceased had left the Wardie Hotel at Granton about half-past ten o'clock on the previous evening to proceed by railway to Edinburgh. Being too late for the train, it is conjectured that in returning to Grantor), he had become confused, and, wandering upon the pier, bad fallen over, and was drowned. He did business in Edinburgh in the course of Monday forenoon, and left his goods.and other property in the coffee-house whero be lodged in Shak spere-square, prior to going down to Granton.—Scotstnlsis.
