THE EARL'S DAUGHTER. By the Author of " Amy Herbert." 2 Vols. To those who are acquainted with " Laneton Par• sonage," " Gertrude," and the other works of the author of " Amy Herbert," any new book from the same hand can require no recommendation beyond the mere announcement of its authorship : to such it will be only necessary to say that " The Earl's Daughter" is fully as valuable in its sentiments, as beautiful in its style, and as interesting in its story as any of its predecessors—perhaps even more interesting and more beautiful. Of all the works of fiction, various as they are in kind and innumerable in quantity, which fall beneath our notice, we do not remember to have ever met with any which we could so cordially commend (more especially to youthful readers) as "The Earl's Daughter," and the other works of the same author. While the principles which should animate Christian life are the ground work of the various tales, the stories are all ren dered excessively interesting by the writer's great skill in pourtraying character, and by a remarkable and almost dramatic profusion of incident—not re markable adventures, but little tri%ial incider:ts and misunders.andings and perplexities such as are con tinually occurring in real life, and the natural arrangement of which imparts to a fictitious narrative an air of truthfulness which con , siderably increases its interes'. Perhaps a few extracts from these delightful volumes will be the most effectual means of inducing those as yet unac quainted with theta to turn to the pages of " The Earl's Daughter." From these extracts it will be seen that the lessons which it imparts—lessons in• valuable in the daily trials of ordinary life—are not inculcated by exhortation likely to prove wearisome to the reader, but they are conveyed in the most effectual and most attractive manner possible, namely, by example. Blanche, the Earl's daughter, is one of the sweetest and gentlest creatures that poet or novelist ever painted; the trials which she endures and the triumphs which she obtains are described with a simplicity and naturalness which is singularly attractive. It is hardly possible to peruse some por tions of the second volume without emotion, so heart touching, because so natural, is the pathos with which it is suffused. It does not frequently happen, but it is an event of most fortunate occurrence, that a writer whose sentiments are so ennobling, and whose efforts to disseminate those sentiments are so praiseworthy, should be so singularly gifted with the very abilities most necessary to set them forth in the most attractive guise. Thus, in " The Earl's Daughter," and the other works from the same band, we are at a loss whether to admire most the practical lessons abounding in their pages, the interesting nar ratives in which those lessons occur, or the pure and eloquent style in which those narratives are related. We are especially anxious to commend these works to general attention, because we are convinced from their internal evidence that it is hardly possible they can be perused by the young and well disposed without being productive of real and lasting benefit. The following scene is a specimen of the writer's happy facility in imparting a powerful interest to a description. Blanche has been entreated by Eleanor, her friend and companion, to obtain from the Earl a vacant living for Eleanor's brother, a very un worthy individual. Blanche, listening to conscience on the one hand, and to her friend on the other, is sorely tried. The Earl is in perfect ignorance about the matter, when the following occurs : "‘ Mr. Johnstone wants me, did you say? Oh! yes, I remember, about the Whitfield " He was going, but Blanche's voice stopped him. Papa, may I ask? what did you say?' and in an in stant the colour had mounted to her cheeks, though only again t) leave them of a more deadly hue. " ' The living of Whitfield, my child ; that is all: nothing to disturb you. Mr. Johnstone has made appli cation for a friend.' " A friend! what friend?—a good one?' said Blanche, hurriedly. "' A good one, of course. Mr. Johstone, every one says, is to be depended on. But, nay dear love, you are quite excited: do you want the living for yourself?' " Blanche laughed faintly: her knees trembled very much, and she sat down on one of the hall-chairs. Maude scarcely assisted her. A sudden gravity had gathered upon her face, and she folded her hands, awaiting what was next to be done. " We must have your maid, my love,' said the Earl. She must take care of you, and you must he down and rest. I will ring for her; and then I must go to Mr. Johnstone.' " Blanche still detained him. Would he let her know —if it was not wrong—if she might be told—would it all be settled to-day about the living? " A strong warning grasp was laid upon her arm, as Maude, stooping down under pretence of picking up her glove, said, in an under voice, So miserably weakl—oh! Blanche!' " Blanche started; her eye caught her fatber'a, full of strange sadness. She felt quite bewildered. What did he mean? and what did Maude mean? Was she doing anything wrong? Were they vexed with her? Did they know her se cret? She was so tired, so ill, so worn, that all her natural strength of mind gave way, and she burnt into tears. " -Maude's manner softened a little ,• but the Earl spoke sternly; so it might have been called, but for en involuntary quivering of his lip. Ile wished her to go to his study, he said; it was quite close, and it would tie the best place for her, and Maude might beg Mr. John stone to wait. There was time; if there was not, he could not come to him: he must wait. " Maude lingered for a moment, apparently seeking for one more word'with Blanche; but Lord Rutherford gave her no opportunity for it, and, opening the study door, led Blanche into the room, and said, with the qu;etness of great self.control, ' Blanche, my child, we are alone; now, you will be open with me. There is something amiss. If it is a wish ungratified, you have only to speak.' Blar.che could not answer him. " Eleanor's despairing tones of entreaty were again sounding in her ears; an weak though it was to waver, it was agony to resist. " The Earl waited in silence for a few seconds, his countenance showing more and more plainly the distress of his mind. ' You cannot fear I shall refuse,' he said at length, almost reproachfully. 'ls it in my power now? Will it be so hereafter? Can money purchase it, or time, or influence, or exertion? Only, in pity, tell me.' " Blanche shook her head: she tried to find words for an answer—anything to satisfy him; but it seemed impossible. The Earl withdrew himself from her, and stood moodily by the fire. " ' I do not doubt, indeed, papa, that you would give me everything,' said Blanche, fffcing herself at last to speak. " Then why may I not be told?' he exclaimed, quickly. If it is a request—' " But it is not; I have nothing to ask; only, if I knew what was right; if I could be quite—quite sure.' " Lord Rutberforn's impetuous manner was subdued; but there was far greater sadness in his tone than before, as seating himself on the sofa beside her, and drawing her towards him, he said,' My poor, poor child; is there no peace on earth, then, even for you?' " • If I could be quite sure—quite certain,' repeated Blanche. " ' And is that all? Is it nothing definite?' asked the Earl. He waited breathlessly for the answer, and at that moment to have been told that Blanche was suffer ing under the burden of some overpowering calamity would have been a relief from the foreboding which made his heart sicken with diesel. But again there was no rest for his fears; for a few moments of recollection had brought to Blanche the remembrance that she bad no right to awaken suspicions which might eventually betray the secrets of others, and she was silent. " Lady Charlton's knock was just then heard at the door. Mr. Johnstone,' she said, was becoming un easy,' and she begged Lord Rutherford not to delay see ing him. "As she spoke she glanced at Blanche in surprise and some curiosity; but the Earl scarcely heeded her. His whole thought was centred in Blanche; and, as soon as the door was again closed, he said, Then there is something—a wish—a want unfulfilled; or is it disap pointment? You spoke of it once; you said that the world was dreary. Oh! Blanche, is it through me that it is so?—through my fault? God knows it may be my penalty.' "'Papa! papa!' exclaimer] Blanche; pray do not speak so or think so; it is not through you; I could not be so ungrateful.' " But you may be afraid; your wish may seem a dif ficult one to grant,' continued the Earl, 'yet solemnly and sincerely, I would repeat what before you may have thought to be mere words. As the one only atonement which I can mako for the misery of your unhappy mother, ask what you will, and if it is in the power of human effort to obtain it, it shall be yours.' " Blanche threw her arm around his neck, and an swered, I want nothing.' " Again they were interrupted. The door was hastily opened by Eleanor Wentworth. A g it at i on an d excite ment were visible in her countenance, but she apologised ca l m ly. She had underst oo d Bl anc h e was b y h erse lf , and she was wishing to speak with her. a L o rd Rutherford was leavin g t h e room, b ut h e re - turned to give a parting kiss to Blanche, and whisper, Remember, you have only to ask.' " He was gore, and Eleanor and Blanche were alone. Eleanor's errand was quickly told. This was her last effort—her last moment of hope. Blanche listen e d again to her former argu ments, her reiterated miserable entreaties. They were more plausible, more urgent th an ever. Ten minutes more — only ten, she said, pointing to the timepiece, 'and it will be useless to ask. Mr. Johnstone is certain to carry his p oint ; he is to write by this day's post. Lady Charlton supports him. Lord Rutherford is already inclined t o listen to him. In remembrance of all our happiness , and our love , which was to last for ever, Blanche, have p it y on me. "Blanche was lying on the sofa, without the power cf argument, but she had strength to say, Leave me, and return in five minute s;' and Eleanor , seeing a ray of hope in this apparent yielding, left her. " They were five minutes of intense wretchedness; Blanche was not able to compose her mind sufficiently for thought, the consequerces of her decisien crowded upon her. Misery for Eleanor—despair for Mrs. Went worth—recklessia as and fully for Adelaide and Charles. Even the ticking of the clock was distracting, and in the greatness of her distress, she threw herself upon her knees and prayed fur certainty. God answers our prayers, but not as we expect." And here is en instance of the effective manner in which a useful 1e sc n is inyressed : " s And you may be—shell I tell you what you may be?—what I have eta:mettles pleased myself by imagin ing you to be!' '"Somethieg much better than I can ever imagine myself, I era sure,' said Eleanor. " Yet nothing beyond your power,' continued her mother. A woman with all a woman's tastes, and geatleness, and modesty; yet earnest, unnrit.g, exalted in your aims, enlarged in your views, sufficient for 3 our own happiness, from having fixed it where alone it may be seiely centered, whilst living in the happiness of others, because your whole life is devoted to the promo tion of their welfare; and having a power over their minds, because you have kept such a strict watch over your own. That is what you may be.' " And what shall I be, mamma?' The question was put in a tone t f great thoughtfulness. " Mrs. Wentworth paused, and her voice sank again into its quiet stillness as she said, One only knows.' "' But tell me; help me, if you can,' said Eleanor; 'tell me what I must be if I inn not what you describe. Mamma, it mey do me more go el than you can think.' Would you wish to hear?' replied Mrs. Wentworth. You will think me exaggerating, yet I hay. watched the downward progress of many characters lute yours, and the general oullit e is alike in all. First, self-dis setts action and a lunging for the respect which might be deserved, and then an endeavour to be saisfied with mere admiration instead; admiration becoming neces sary, and sinking gradually into the craving of a miser able vanity; and this changing in o:d age into a sharp, cynical narrowness of mind, which is wretchedness to itself and others. I am not speaking in the least too strongly, Eleanor. I have seen and grieved over it; and the firs: symptom has always been that fickleness of ac tion, though not of inattention, in little things, which you are always regretting.' " And never amending,' said Eleanor. Mamma, I must do so, I will.' The house-bell rang at that moment; Eleanor coloured deeply. 'lt is Adelaide Charlton,' she said; I did very wrong; I asked her to come.' "Mrs. Wentworth strove hard not to show her real annoyance. " She shall stay but a few minutes,' continued Eleanor. She has only to look over some music, and she knows I shall be busy.' " Miss Charlton was announced in the drawing-room. "Mrs. Wentworth rose and said she would receive her, and, collecting her letters, was preparing to go, when Dr. Wentworth's voice was heard. The meeting at the Union was deferred; he was returned unexpect edly, and he came to the window to say so. " I want you, my dear, particularly. I must have you for a few minutes to go into the village with me.' " Is it really necessary? There are visitors in the drawing-room.' "' What visitors? Only Miss Charlton. Charles and Eleanor will entertain her.' " Mrs. Wentworth's conscience smote her for the pride which had made her shut up from her husband the anxieties which she imagined he could not sympathise with. Now, when she wanted his assistance, he was working unknowingly against her. " Indeed, I must have you, my dear,' he continued. ' I am in a hurry. " Mrs. Wentworth could say no more, but she looked at Eleanor as she joined him, and Eleanor answered the lock with, Adelaide will only stay a fow minutes. I shall not let her do so.' " One more extract we must give as an evidence of that pathetic power so remarkable in this work. The following is the most easily transcribed, but it is in• ferior in power to many passages in the same volume —passages whose exceeding beauty, and depth of feeling would be marred by a quotation : " That evening, as twilight shades were gathering over the sky, and repose was settling upon the lovely valley of Rutherford—as happy children were returning from their play, and the husbandman was preparing to enjoy his evening meal, and the sleep which to the labouring man is sweet, whether he eat little or much' —the young heiress of all that wealth, beauty, and prosperity can bestow, lay stretched upon her couch, striving to chasten her rebellious heart, and bring every gloomy thought and fruitless wish into submission to the will of her Maker. "Poor Blanche! she had not known, till that hour, that it was possible to feel more intensely for herself than for others. Unselfish, confiding, humble minded, she had lived for her fellow-creatures, and in their joys and sorrows had found her own. But there are griefs which encompass uc with a barrier that ihuts out human sym pathy, and forbids us to find relief in the thought that our affliction is less than that of many around us. The heart knoweth its own bittsracss;' and in those seasons of trial it is incapable of estimating comparative wretchedness. " Blanche lay quite still, her hands clasped tightly together, and her eyes firmly shut; occasionally her lips moved, and the momentary contraction of the forehead, or a nervous action of the fingers, gave indiction of some passing thought of misery, but the expression of the face was that of calm hopelessness. There was no one near her, no one watching her; the one wish she had expressed was for solitude; solitude with Him to whom all hearts are open, and from whcm no secrets are hid.' " The door opened slowly, and Lord Rutherford stole gently to her side. Blanche just plotted her eyes and closed them again instantly. He drew near and knelt down beside her, and took her clammy hand in his, and she turned her face towards him and tried to smile; but the parched lips quivered, and a mist gathered over her soft dark eyes, and then the bitter tears flowed silently and fast. " Blanche,' said the Earl, are you better?' His voice was quite changed; low and husky. Blanche raised herselt and rut her arm round his neck, and kissed him; but she coal.' not steak. " My poor child,' ho said, they told me you were asleep: - - " Wanche shook her leid and answered, faintly 'that she had been trying to sleep, but it was of no use.' "‘ You must have an opiate,' observed the Earl; I shall send for one,' and he touched the bell-rope. No opiates for me, dear papa,' said Blanche, stopping him; they can do nothing—no one—nobody'—She paused and put her hand to her head, as if to check the swift torturing current of thought which was about to rush over her. " 'Blanche, can you forgive me ?' and the proud Eel hid his face upon hespillow, and sobbed like a child. " Forgive you, my own papa; you who have been so kind, so good: what can I have to forgive?' And again she kissed him and fondly smoothed his hair, and whis pered how dear he was to her; but the anguish of re morse was too keen for such consolation." THE SUN, LONDON, THE ZOIS7'. The Zoist for July contains the important an nouncement that the Indian Government has placed at the disposal of Dr. Esdaile a Government hospital, for the express purpose of enabling him to combine mesmerism with the common practice of medicine, in the treatment of disease. In a letter addressed to Dr. Elliotson, Dr. Esdaile says : " Sir John Littler, the Deputy Governor, has seen three mesmeric operations in my hospital in the last six weeks, and has always expressed himself astonished and delighted. On the last occasion he brought Sir Frede rick Currie, Brigadier Eckford, and other gentlemen with him, and I presented them with a tumour weighing eighty pounds in two minutes and a half, the min being as passive as a gout d during and long after the operation. He is doing perfectly well, and I expect to be equally successful in a still larger case to-morrow. Brigadier Eckford, after the operation, congratulated me on,' being the honoured instrument in God's hands to work such wonders.' It is certainly a great privilege, for which I em very thankful. A Government hospital and dispen sary having fallen vacant, Sir John has made them over to me, for tae express purpose of combining mesmerism with the common practice of medicine. I did not con sider my task complete till mesmerism was fixed in the Government hospitals of Calcutta. It will now be suf ficiently the interest of many to be my successor." The Ambassador for N ipal, at present in this country, took great interest in the subject of mesmer ism during his stay at Calctitta. The Zoist, quoting from the Calcutta Star, says We understand that one cf the first objects of the Minister of Nipal's curiosity has been mesmerism, whose fame bad reached Nipal even. We are told that this gentleman is actually the Prime Minister, and leaves the country to be governed by his brothers in his absence, so secure is he of his influence. He is described as a slight, active intelligent looking man of 32, and of pure Hindoo blood. "At his desire, Dr. Esdaile granted him a private mesmeric demon,tratioe, taking three of his patients who had been acted upon along with him. Two of these were Calcutta Baboos, and a third ma; a woman whose breast, weighing 10 lbs., was cut off about six weeks ago. The people having all told the Minister the same tale of total insensibility to the operation, he desired to see bow the thing was done, that he might be the mew's of introducing so wonderful and beneficial a power into his own country. The woman was thrown into a state of insensibility by a few passes; fire was then applied to her knuckles, and a pin stuck into her nose without a sign of sensibility. She was then awoke by a f.!ve re verse passes, and said that she had been asleep, and that nothing had annoyed her. One of the Baboos was next reduced to the ssme state as easily, and any part or the whole of his body was made rigid, as desired. Being restored to his senses, Dr. Esdaile informed the Minister that any limb might be made rigid and insensible, or any organ of sense rendered insensible in this man, while the general consciousness remained perfect. " Dr. E. having detached his watch from its chain, put it into the man's closed fist, and having made a few passes along the arm and hand, he desired the Minister to order him to dash it on the ground, or to tribe hire to do so, if he pleased. Order and persuasion were equally tried in vain, and at last he was offered Its. 1,000 to do so with as little effect; the man saying that a lac might be offered him sefel3, us `his arm felt like a stick.' Be ing blindfolded, his arm was pricked all over, he saying alt the time that he felt nothing; but the moment the pin was applied to any other pa: t of the body, he imme diately shrunk and cried out. Each of the senses were torpified in succession in like manner. A bottle con• mining carb onate o f ammon i a was h an d e d to t h e Minis ter and his suite, w h o a ll ma d e v i o l en t contortions on s blindfolded , iz d the and applying it to th e i r noses .

" The Minister then asked if it was possible for him to learn this art, anti was told th.tt any healthy willing man might do so afer a (ew minutes' instruction. He accordingly attacked the Baboo, and in a few minutes threw him into the trance, the reality of which he very eff;ctually tested by gouging his no,e unmercifully with a pin. He expressed himself perfectly satisfied, and begged to see the first operation that was to be per formed." PARLIAMENTARY DIVISIONS.

Sut,—l have so often made use of your paper on this subject that I dare not now ask but for a very little space, and on which to make as briefly as pos sible a definite suggestion. Perhaps at some future' time, when your paper is less engaged with Parlia mentary matters, you will allow me at large to ex pose by religious arguments the abominable and un christian conduct of the Sabbatarians, for such argu ments are now by no means incompatible with the objects of a political journal, inasmuch as those Sabbath. keeping, Judaizing fanatics have, by their Legislative persecutions, rendered the subject as much political as religious. now, however, write merely to give you a hint as to the formation of a central association, which could receive from appointed agents, in various dis tricts throughout the kingdom, a weekly report of the Sunday doings of each of those Parliamentary tyrants who wilt impose on us any cruel restrictions such as those which now destroy the blessedness and enjoyments of our Sunday. Such an association will ,have the opportunity. of making known to the world the Sunday doings of each those hypocrites who in their own conduct violate those laws they profess to follow, and to make obligatory on others. You, Sir, will readily see in such a plan a wide opening for moral and religious reformation, afford ing as it will do a striking exposure of cant and hypocrisy, and by bringing these legislating impostors and cowards to the test of their own profession, and by showing that both it and they are at variance with Christ, and with the pure, holy, and riteless re ligion of the New Testament. That such men as Mr. Muntz, and any pretended lover of civil and religious liberty, can blend their idleness with the selfish superstition of the Sabbatarians, and consider that such indolence on the Sunday (as he confessed to) justifies them in putting restrictions on me and my conscience, is a th in g which j ustl y excites concheie amthi. ' m w o y ul indignation iin due t a i n m d e, d i b s gr bring to light those hidden t. But as the association things of darkness, and ma k e cud eve ry mans doings manifest, I will at once • • - 1 , Sir, &c., DALETH.

SOCIETY FOR THE REFORM OF COLONIAL GOVEIINMENI. Last evening the anniversary dinner of this society was Illrld at the Trafalgar Tavern, Greenwich ; Lord Monteagle in the chair. The company sat down to dinner at eight o'clock, and among those present were the Bishop of Oxford, Lord Lyttelton, Sir William Moleiworth, M.P., the'Rev. Tnomas Jackson, Bishop designr.t.. of New Zealand ; Mr. Wyld, M.P., Mr. Hurne ' M.P., Mr. Aglionby, M.P., the Hon. F. ScOtt M.P., Mr. Adderley,M.P., lion. W. F. Campbell, M.P., Mr. John Simeon, M.P., lion. W. Wrottes• ley, Messrs. E. G. Wakefield, T. J. Coster, R. Lowe, —Fitzgerald, J. D. Sails, Dr. Black, &c. On the removal cf the cloth grace was said by the ' Bishop of Oxford. The usual loyal toasts having been drunk, the com• pany were addressed by the Chairman, who, in a speech of great length, condemned the colonial policy of the Government, and concluded by proposing " Success to the Colonial Society," and with that toast he coupled the name of "Sir William Mole:- worth." Sir W. MOLESWORTIL M P., returned thanks. The association tor the reform of colonial government had been formed with a great object, which deserved suc cess, and owed its. origin to a party of gentlemen who had met there last year, when it was felt by them that the colonies were in a critical sta'e. The society had been framed without reference to political parties ; among its ranks were to be found Whigs and Tories and even Radicals, with Protectionists as well as Fi..aricial Reformers. The Hon. Baronet spoke of the influence which this society had wielded, and re• ferred to the measure which had been introduced into the House of Commons, at the instance of this society, fur the reform of colonial government. The society had done well for the last year, and he therefore hoped it was deserving of the thanks of the colonies. The Bishop of OXFORD said he had been desired to propose, " Success to the Canterbury Colony in New Zealand," and he begged to couple with that toast " The:Health of Lord Lyttelton." He referred to the colony of Canterbury as a thing in posse, not in esse, and it was always dangerous to speak of the great hopes of success where there was a great prospect of failure. His own opTnion was that the probabi lity of failure exceeded the probability of success. He thought, however, that this undertaking embodied the first principle or idea of colonisation which was not emigration—it was not the shovelling off of ship loads of our fellow-creatures, because they were a trouble to have them in this country. Colonies were intended to be the reproduction of the mother land; this was the intention laid down by the great worthies of the land; and he trusted that by Saxon sense and enter prise, this undertaking, under the blessing of God, would be brought to a successful completion. The Right Rev. Prelate concluded an eloquent address by proposing " The New Settlement of Canterbury," and with that toast " Lord Lyttelton." Lord LYTTELTON returned thanks, and alluded to the exertions of Mr. Godley, who was really the founder of this settlement. At that time last year they had met all those who were then assembled, or the great majority of them, and those present on the former occasion would remember that they were de prived of the pleasure and advantage of having that gentleman by reason of his indisposition at the time,and it had fallen upon him (Lord Lyttelton) to take the lead in this matter. But it only reminded him of the impossibility of his supplying his place. No doubt there were specialties about the case of Canter bury Settlement, into which he would not go then. The Noble Lord deprecated the measure for the better government of the colonies of Australia, as not esta blishing the principle of self-government. Mr. HUME condemned the mischievous tendency of our colonial policy, and referred to the conduct of the colonists of the Cape of Good Hope in terms of ap proval, and concluded by giving " The Colony of the Cape of Good Hope and Mr. Adderley." Mr. ADDERLEY returned thanks, and expressed his sympathy with the colnoists of the Cape of Good Hope, who had set an example which, if circumstances required it, he hoped other colonies would adopt, but he hoped that a better system of things was in store. This association has increased in importance, and though it received no contributions from the colonies it had received in six months a sum of 2401., and of that sum about 1601. had been expended, leaving a balance of about 801. for the recommencement of the year. The Honourable Gentleman detailed the different publications which bad been printed at the instance of the society. Among other matters they had republished the American Charters, and he had been told by the librarian of the British Museum, that if the society had done nothing more than reprint these charters they had done that which entitled them to public respect. Tnere had been published under the auspices of the society the last speech of Lord Lyttelton on the Australian Mt. The speech of Lord John Russell o❑ the opening of Par liament, and which excited so much notice, was based on a manifesto of this society. Upon that manifesto his Lordship made his commentary. lie believed that no man had ever made greater speeches in favour of colonial government reform when out of office than Lord Grey and Mr. Hawes; but how altered was their tone when in office! He was sorry that Lord Wodehouse was not there,-.-that Noble Lord having been compelled to attend , the Agricultural Society at Exeter. Mr. SCOTT proposed " Success to the Australian Coloniel," and coupled with that the name of Mr. Lowe. Mr. LOWE, in a very eloquent speech, advocated the right of the Australian colonies to self-govern ment, and deplored the policy of Earl Grey, which would ultimately tend to put to hazard the prosperity of all our colonies,._ and to do away with that feeling of devoted loyalty which now especially characterised the Australian colonies. Mr. Hums gave " The Health of Lord Monteagle, ;heir Chairman." The Noble Lord returned thanks. SOUTHAMPTON ELECTION. The election of a Member for this borough to fill the vacancy caused by Mr.' Cockburn's, acceptance of the office of Solicitor. General, took place yesterday, when Honourable Gentleman was re-elect- d without the slightest show of opposition. There was very little ex citement in the town, and, judging from the appearance of the streete, few persons would have imagined that an election was going on. Mr. Cockburn was accompanied by a large party of his friends from his Committee room to the Audit-house, where the nominatioa took place, and was loudly cheered on entering that building. The usual preliminaries over, Mr. T. L. HARMAN rose to propose the re-election of Mr. Cockburn as the representative of Southampton in Parliament, and in so doing paid a high compliment to the grPat abilities and past Parliamentary conduct of that gentleman. Mr. GEORGI LiISHLI3Y (the late Mayor) secondel the nomination. No other candidate having been proposed, The Mir OR declared that Mr. A.E. Cockburn was duly elected. Mr. COCKBURN then came forward to address the electors, and was received with renewed cheering. He thanked them from his heart for the renewed confidence they had that day reposed in him, and the unanimity with which that favour 3sta conferred. He also took that opportunity -et - Winking his political opponents, who, conscious mat they could not disturb his re-election, had not subjected him to any of the annoyances of a contested election, or any of those political attacks which the asperities of elections too often evoked. The Hon. Gentleman then entered upon a somewhat lengthened explanation cf his past conduct, and the chief leading questions which at present occupy the attention of the public. Ile hoped to see the time when education and the elective franchise would go hand in hand, and all men should have given to them political power, and the means by which they should be taught how to make a proper use of that power.- He wished to see commerce tree, especially in the articles of food, and the principle of free trade carried out to its fullest extent. They were at the present time in a position of con siderable danger, and he expressed his firm con viction that on the continuance of the present Go vernment in office, looking, at the present state of political parties,,dppended whether the principle of free trade should be preserved in its integrity. A combina tion had lately been made between many of those w h o had supported the free-trade measures of the Govern ment and the Protectionists, to overthrow the Govern ment. There had been, a sort of middle class between the Government „end the Protectionists, which had always supported free-trade measures, but they began to get tired of their position, seeing no chance of getting into power whilst the present Ministry remained in office. So they formed an alliance, and the Protec tionists, who were the strongest tarty, made their own terms. He then referred to the measure lately intro duced by the Goierninent to amend and extend the Irish franchise. The constituency in that country had, from various causes, become greatly diminished, and the Government proposed, in consequence, to admit a new constituency into the cities and boroughs, by giving the franchise to all Si. householders. The measure passed the House 'or Commons, but as soon as it got to the House of Lords they raised the qualification to 151, and thus mutilated. the Bill of its last and most salutary provisions. Mr. Cockburn then referred to the question of law reform, on which he bad taken a determined course, and which he believed the Go vernment were determined to carry out. He declared meat emphatically that he would not continue in office, unless it afforded him the means of carrying out those reforms in the law which he, as a lawyer, knew to be so essential. He next dilated on the question of the foreign policy of the Government. He always felt gratified to stand by Lord Palmerston in his conduct on foreign affairs, and the other day he (Mr. Cockburn) thought it right to contribute his feeble ativ‘ cacy to the defence of that policy. If the present Government were removed, and their opponents took their places, they would soon be involved in a war, and foreign tyrants would go on unchecked. On these grounds be felt pleasure in join ing the Government, and he felt :atisfied, if the Govern meat were well supported by the people, that they would do their best to further the cause of constitutional free dom and liberty. He then remarked on the important question of education. It was an alarming fact that one half of the population of this country could neither read nor write. "Why were such large masses of the people left Without the means of attaining instruction, on which their moral, social, an 1 religious interests de pended, both here and hereafter? The difficulty lay in the fact, that all the people did not hold the same reli gious opinions, and the school was made the great battle-field for supremacy amongst rival sects. While the State was willing to provide the means of education they could not do it—they were hampered by difficulties on every hand. The Government were met at every stage by opposition and difficulties springing from bi gotry, interest, or some other such motive. After al luding to one or two other questions, Mr. Cockburn concluded a most eloquent and elaborate address, which was loudly applauded throughout, by requesting his constituents to watch his conduct, and jog his memory if he did not go quite fast enough for them; and when over they considered that he had forfeited their eon- Hence, they had the remedy in their own hands. Tte Lion. Member resumed his seat amidst enthusiastic applause. Three cheers were then given for Mr. Cockburn, three for the Queen, three fur Lord Palmerstor, and three for Mr. Wilcox, Mr. Cockburn's colleagi a in a o representation. Several electors subsequently addressed the assembly on different topics, eon the proceedings closed with a vote of thanks to the klAyor and the Returning Officer. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

The scene was altogether most gay and animated ; thousands of spectators had assembled upon the shore at various points whtre the b'est view could be obtained of the rowing, while the river was studded with boats of every description*, from the patrician eight down to the humble di ngy.
