Mr. Vaux, the author of this work is engaged in the department of antiqui ties in the British Museum, and, in consequence per haps, his description ofthe ancient monuments, and his investigations and explanations are all given con amore, The work is embellished with numerous very excel lent engravings of the newly-discovered statues and figures of ancient date, and to the curious in such matters we may very safely commend this interesting record of " Nineveh and Persepolis." If disposed to find fault with its author, we might perhaps object to his too copious extracts from Layard. Yet in this instance Mr. Layard will have small cause of com, plaint, seeing that any perusal of a portion of his in teresting revelations can only inspire the reader with an anxiety to peruse the whole. ST. JAMES'S THEATRE. The reading selected last night by Mrs. Fanny Kern ble was Shakspere's Much Ado about Nothing. This charming comedy is peculiarly adapted to elicit this► lady's remarkable histrionic powers; for we know no one so capable of evolving the subtle wit with which it is instict, of delivering its exquisite poetry with so ap preciative a feeling, of giving so sharp an individuality to the variety of its characterisation, or of so faithfully expressing the deep pathos of its ruling incident. The verbal combats of Benedict and Beatrice were delivered with a ripe relish of their abounding spirit and brilliancy. Every line sparkled, and each word struck home. The gentleness of Hero, the passionate agony of Leo nato, and the holy fervour of the Friar were reflected gracefully and graphically. But the crowning glory of the reading was the portraitures of Dogberry anti Verges. We doubt whether the pompous stolidity of the chief constable and the senility of his ancient help were ever so humorously conveyed since they were acted by the original performers, Kempe and Cowley. Dogberry seemed positively to be bent double with the weight of his official functions—his saws and instances were rolled out with irresistible grandioseness and sub limeness of humour. He seemed the very genius of the watch. His legal doubts seemed to stultify, yet with out sensible abatement of his parochial potency. The scenes in which these worthies appeared were rewarded with shouts of laughter. The theatre was Lrilliantly attended. LETTERS OF A TRAVELLER. By Wm. • Cullen Bryant. This volume contains some fifty letters, written during the last sixteen years, and descriptive of the various localities from which they are dated, which localities comprise the chief places of note in the old and new worlds. The writer is the American poet, William Cullen Bryant, hence the very fact of its authorship and the very varied but attractive na ture of its contents invest the " Letters of a Traveller" with a - peculiar interest. Letter I. chronicles the first impressions of an American in France, where every step of his journey reminds the traveller that he is in "an old country." France, Italy, England, Scotland, Ireland, Germany, are alike traversed by the wanderer from the new world, and their various pe culiarities are made the subjects of interesting and generally judicious reflections and remarks. But, to our mind, by far the most attractive of these letters are those descriptive of America—an American's ob servations on American scenes and American pecu liarities. The very diversified subjects of there let tens increase the value of the collected series, as they furnish the reader with, as it were, a bird's-eye glimpse of both sides of the Atlantic, and enable him to compare the peculiar characteristics of different countries and different races. In this investigation, moreover, the reader is at once assisted and delighted by the running commentary of his poet-conductor. Whether commenting upon a Free-trade meeting at Covent-garden (where, by the way, we are told that " Cobden, in physiognomy and appearance, might almost pass for an American, and has a certain New England sharpness and shrewdness in his way of dealing with a subject"),; or following the adventures of some Indian tribe, or in any other intermediate position, Mr. Bryant is equally felicitous in his descriptions, and his remarks are equally em phatic and judicious. CREMORNE GARDENS. MRS. GRAHAM'S AERIAL ASCENT. Ballooning is now decidedly all the rage: the star of aerostatioo is in the ascendant. Notwithstanding the oft-repeated trips in nubibus that we have had of late, it seems " as if increase of appetite had grown by what it led on," and that public curiosity is not in the smallest degree abated. Of this the countless thousands that assembled last night in these gardens bore ample testi mony. The Victoria balloon was fully inflated at the hour of five o'cleck, at the London Gas-works, Lambeth; but, owing to the united hostility of wind and tide, and the delays necessarily incurred by its transit over the Vauxhall and Battersea-bridges, it did not reach its proper place of destination in tho gardens until nearly eight o'cleck. During its progress from Vauxhall to Cremorne, Mr. Van Buren was the presiding deity who " rode on the tempest and directed the storm," and a very arduous, and we should say uncomfortable, office he held. Three times was he immersed into the silvery (alias muddy) bosom of Old Father Thames, and three times did he rise aloft, like a giant refreshed, from its oozy and unsavoury bed. Upon reaching the gardens it was found that Old Aquarius was so diffusely dispensing his favours, that for some time it was considered doubtful whether Mrs. Graham would venture on her aerial trip, but nothing daunted by the inclemency of the weather, she started (unaccompanied) at precisely twenty minutes past ten o'clock, when the balloon took a north-easterly direction. Where the fair aeronaut had landed was not ascertained at a late hour. . TWO YEARS' RESIDENCE IN A LE VAN7'INE FAMILY. By Bayle St. John. An old saying recommends travellers to do at Rome as Rome does, and, in uncon scious obedience to this maxim, Mr. St. John during his residence in the East rightly decided that the most effectual method by which he could become familiar with the peculiarities and customs of the country was by domiciling himself with a Levantine family and identifying himself for the time being with the Levantines. The consequence of this very judi cious determination is a volume, part journal, part history, part romance, in which the reader, like the writer, becomes pleasantly familiarised with Eastern customs and quite at home with Sitt Madoula and the gentle Wardy and their various relatives and acquaintances, not omit ting "the Sheik," a ghostly inhabitant of the house—the spectre of a former landlord, who was frequently (Mr. St. John seriously informs us) en countered on the stairs and in the corridors. l'he frequent rencontres of this supernatural companion were such a matter of course with Sift Isdadoula's household that one or other would often carelessly remark, " I met the Sheik on the stairs, but he passed by quietly." At first Mr. St. John tells us he imagined the person spoken of to be some trouble some neighbour, but during his two years domicile three times his own eyes acquainted him with the supernatural fact ! Matter of more substantial and not less romantic interest is, however, abundantly furnished in the pages of this work, many chapters of which transport the reader to the very regions of the Arabian Nights, and once more, as in the dear days of childhood, we inhabit a world where romance is reality and reality is roman tic. Among some of the many extraordinary national peculiarities here recorded is the faith of the Egyptians in the power of en untruth. Any spell, say they, can be overcome if the victim can gain credence for an untruth. " One morning," writes Mr. St. John, " Iskender came and swore most solemnly that ho was going to Rosetta to collect some debts. The object was to remove a spell which had prevented him from effecting any impor tant sale for three days. As I believed him—at least for a moment—it seems he was fortunate, and made a profit of ten dollars before I gave him a visit in the afternoon." So abundant are the similar anecdotes, and so interesting are the romantic narratives, some of them fully equal to a three-volumed novel, which fill the pages of this attractive volume, that instead of quoting a few, we recommend the whole to those who are desirous of becoming further acquainted with the men and manners of the Levant. We have just learned that Mr. Van Buren intends taking his benefit at Cremorne next Friday evening. If urbanity of manner and indefatigable industry in the discharge of his arduous duties—whichvhave made him so preeminently a favourite with the public—could en sure him a bumper, of a verity we anticipate not a house, but a garden, even to overflowing. COURT CIRCULAR. OSBORNE, WEDNESDAY. The Queen and Prince waled early this morning in Osborne grounds. His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales, the Prin cess Royal, and younger members of the Royal Family walked and rode as usual. His Serene Highness the Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg Gotha took leave of ber Majesty and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and left Osborne this forenoon for London. Col. the Hon. C. B. and Mrs. Phipps had the honour of joining the Royal dinner party yesterday. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent, attended by Lady Augusta Bruce, went to Frogmore yesterday morning. Her Royal Highness dined with her Royal Highness the Duchess of Gloucester in the evening, at her residence in Richmond Park. Lord John Russell left town yesterday morning, for Osborne, Isle of Wight. _ Sir George Grey arrived in town last evening, from his seat, Fallodon, Northumberland. Dispatches were received yesterday at the Colonial office, from the Governors of the Cape of Good Hope and St. Helena. Dispatches were sent off last evening from the Colo nial-office, for the Governors of Malta, Ceylon, and Hong-Kong, and also for the Lord High Commissioner of the lonian Islands. PRINCE ALFRED'S BIRTHDAY. (From the Court Circular.) Tuesday, Auguat 6th, being the birthday of his Royal Highness the Prince Alfred, the usual annual fete was given by her Majesty and his Royal Highness the Prince Albert to the servants of the Royal establishment, the workmen and labourers employed upon the estate at Osborne, together with their wives and families, and the seamen of the Royal yachts. The day was particularly favourable, and the ground, which was profusely decorated with flags and banners, had a very gay appearance. At three o'clock the dinner, which was provided for 300, was carried in procession, preceded by the bands of the Royal Marines, and by the Royal servants and the seamen, to a spacious marquee, previously prepared, and grace having been said by Mr. Toward, her Majesty's bailiff, who presided, the happy guests commenced their dinner. Her Majesty the Queen and his Royal Highness the Prince Albert, with all the Royal children, accompa nied by his Serene Highness Prince Leopold of Saxe Coburg, Count do Mensdorff Pouilly, and Count V. de Mensdorff Pouilly, and attended by the ladies and gen tlemen of the household, proceeded from the house as soon as the dinner was prepared, and visited the dif ferent tables. Immediately after dinner Mr. Toward proposed "The Healths of the Queen"—" Prince Albert"—and " His Royal Highness the Prince Alfred," which were hear tily responded to. Dancing then commenced, and the following sports and games in succession amused and employed the as semblage during the afternoon:— Cricket. Quoits. Jingling, or Blind Man's Buff. Foot Races. Hurdle Races. Jumping in Sacks. Snapping at Gingerbread and Treaded Rolls. Bobbing in water for Oranges. Dipping in Meal for Coin. Climbing greasy Pole for Leg of Mutton. Leap-Frog. Wheelin g Barrows blindfolded. The Man-wheel Race. Winding and unwinding String round Pegs. Foot-ball. Whipping the Monkey. At seven o'clock the Queen and Prince Albert, toge ther with the Royal Family and guests, who had appeared highly amused with the sports of the afternoon, retired from the ground amidst the loud cheers of the hundreds assembled. It would be difficult to say whether the high spirits and enjoyment or the orderly conduct of all assembled was most remarkable. THE DALTONS. .Nos. M. and .IV. By Charles Lever. Our amusing friend Harry Lorrequer begins to feel himself more at home with his new- characters. Their place of sojourn still continues to be the Ger man watering-place of Baden, out of season, though towards the close of the present instalment the On slows appear to be on the eve of their departure for Italy. Lady Hester is striving to secure Kate Dalton as her companion to the Roman peninsula. Many obstacles, however, must stand in the way of such an arrangement, seeing that the previous effort of Mr. Prichard, the attorney of Sir Stafford, has failed in persuading Peter Dalton to accept an an nuity of 2001. per annum from his employer. To ourselves the reasons for this latter refusal ap pear to be somewhat incomprehensible. Poor Hans is still an invalid. Andy " comes out" most ludicrously in the fourth number, rather to the con fusion of Mr. Albert Jekvl, who has formed the ac quaintance of George Onslow. As yet we have been enabled only to catch a'glimpse of the initials of their character. Scarcely a syllable is said about Colonel Haggerstone in the last few chapters, and hardly a word of Frank, who has doubtless by this time be come transformed into an Austrian soldier. We await a hint as to his fortunes with curiosity. THE HISTORY OF PENDENNIS. Nos. XVIII. and XIX. By W. M. Thacheray. These numbers clear the way for the denouement of the story. Poor Helen dies, but not until she has learned the truth as to the nature of the connexion between Pen and Fanny Bolton, and therefore she dies hap pily, as the only blot she believed existing on the cha racter of her son has been entirely removed. The de scription of her death is beautifully and pathetically written, and is quite worthy to take its place by the side of Sterne's description of the death of Lefevre. Sir Francis Clavering is ruined by gambling, and the old Major begins to think that, after all, Blanche may not be a very eligible match for Arthur. Fanny Bolton is engaged to Sam Huxter, the student. Warrington relates his history, from which it ap pears that he had in early life married a woman of no education, and much below himself in rank, from whom he has been for years separated, and thus all the obstacles that seemed to stand in the way of the union of Pen and Laura are in the course of removal. The description of " The Derby," in No. 19, is ad mirable. FINE ARTS. LIFE AND EPISTLES OF ST. PAUL. Part Tyr. Under the joint editorship of the Reverend Messrs. Howson and Cony beare, this remark able biography of the great apostle progresses admirably towards its completion. The em bellishments this month represent an exquisite view of the Isthmus of Corinth and another of the city of Konich, both of them, but; especially the for mer, distinguished by the beauties habitual to the drawings that emanate from the hands of Laborde and Bartlett. When finished the work will bo a noble addition to every biblical library, and will prove its editors to be as brilliant textuaries as they are laborious and accomplished historians. !

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE. APPOINTMENTS. Captain Edward Pellew Halsted (1842), has been appointed to command the Dauntless screw-frigate, at Portsmouth. This gallant eflieer is son of the late Ad miral Sir Lawrence Halsted, and grandson of the cele brated Lord Exmouth, and has served afloat 19 years. He entered the navy March, 1821, passed his examina tion 1828, and was promoted January, 1829. He was made a commander December, 1836, and commanded the Childers, 16, in the East Indies, and also in China, when he served in the Yang-tse-Kiang during the ope rations against the city of Chin-Kiang Foo, July, 1842, and was promoted in April of that year to his present rank. Captain Halsted has devoted many Sears to the acquisition of experience in screw propulsion, and has recently published the results of a most laborious pur suit in a work which will be deemed the only authority on that all-important subject. Captain Frederick Warden (1845) has been a pp o i n t e d to the command of the Retribution 22, paddl e -wh ee l steam-frigate, at Portsmouth. This gallant officer has served 20 years afloat; he, entered the Naval College in June, 1820, passed his examination in 1827, was pro moted in 1828, was made a commander for the Thalia, 46, June, 1828, and was promoted on paying off the Medea, 8-horse-sloop from the Mediterranean, having been engaged in the operations on the coast of Syria, and at the blockade of Alexandria. In November, 1840, he was wounded in the hand and arm by the explosion of a shell. SECURITIES (IRELAND) ACT AMENDMENT. A Bill intituled an Act to amend an Act for facilitating the Loana of Money upon Landed Securities in Ireland. Whereas by an Act passed in the fourth and fifth years of King William the Fourth, intituled " An Act for facilitating the Loans of Money upon Security in Ireland," whereby, after reciting, amongst other things, that in last wills and other testamentary dispositions, and in marriage and other settlements of real and per sonal property, and in other deeds, agreements, or writ ings, a direction, trust, or power was often given, created, or reserved to lay out or invest money at inte rest on real securities in England, Wales, or Great Britain, or to sell and convert into money real or lease hold estate, or Government cr Parliamentary securities, or securities of foreign states, or other property, and to lay out or invest the money arising from such sale and conversion on real securities, and that, from the abun dance of capital in Great Britain, the interest of money was very much reduced, and that the interest to be procured on money in Ireland was much higher than the interest to be procured in Great Britain, it was, amongst other things, enacted, that it should be lawful to advance and lend money at interest on real securities in Ireland, upon the terms and conditions by said Act provided, without the lenders of such monies being guilty of any breach of trust : and whereas it would be highly beneficial to both Great Britain and Ireland if the said Act was extended so as to enable trustees and others to lay out and expend the monies vested in them, with power to purchase therewith real or freehold secu rities in England, Wales, or Great Britain, in the pur chase of real or freehold securities in Ireland as well as in England, Wales, or Great Britain: be it therefore enacted by the Queen's Most Excellent Majesty, by and with the advice and consent of the Lords Spiritual and Temporal, and Commons. in this present Parliament as sembled, and by the authority of the same, that from end after the passing of this Act'it shall be lawful for any person or persons who, under or by virtue of my direction, trust, or power already given, created, or re served, or hereafter to be given, created, or reserved, is or are or shall be authorized or directed to purchase real or freehold estates in England, Wales, or Great Britain, to purchase real or freehold estates in Ireland, in the same manner and in all respects as if such investment or purchase had been expressly authorized in and by any such direction, trust, or power; and such person or per sons shall not, on account of his or their purchasing as aforesaid iu Ireland, be considered in a court of equity guilty of any breach of trust, or held accountable further or otherwise than if the money had been laid out by him or them in the purchase of real or freehold estates in England, Wales, or Great Britain. 11. Provided always, and be it enacted, that all invest ments of money in the purchase of real or freehold se curities in Ireland under this Act, in which any minor or unborn child, or person cf unsound mind, is or may be interested, shall be made by the direction and under the authority of the Court of Chancery in England, such direction or authority being obtained in any cause upon petition in a summary way. 111. Provided always, and be it enacted, that every such investment or purchase shall be made with the con sent of the person or persons (if any) whose consent may be required for the purchase of real or freehold estates in England, Wales, or Great Britain, testified in the manner required by such direction, trust, or power.

The regiment had from ag some t ue ime and previoufever,s to it s em b arkation been suffering to soon af ter t h e Apollo left Hong-Kong dysentery broke out, and proved alarmingly fatal, the regiment losing sometimes three and four men per diem. She arrived at the Cape the 24th May, and the troops were landed and the ship thoroughly cleaned. She sailed again on the 29th May, leaving about 18 men of the 95th at the hospital there. She arrived at St. Helena on the 16th June, remained two days to get water and supplies, and has had a fine-weather passage home. Eighteen men died on board since leaving the Cape, one died this morning, and another lies in a hope less state; altogether, since leaving Hong-Kong, 60 men of the 95th, three children and three seamen belonging to the Apollo have died on boat d; latterly, the disease has not been so virulent, as not more than 12 men have now gone to the military hospital. The officers of the regiment, and the officers of the ship, have all been healthy. The Apollo has brought home from St. Helena about 30 men, and some women and children belonging to the St. He lena regiment. The regiment landed to-day at half-past one, and proceeded by railway to Winchester. The Apollo has been particularly unfortunate in both her outward and hom ewar d voyage.

ADELAIDE 'LINDSAY • • a Novel. Edited by the Author of " Emilia Wyndham."—As a portraiture of the noblest and most exquisite features of the female character, Adelaide Lindsay stands unsurpassed. The sacrifice of the first affection of the heart, unsuspectingly bestowed in the guileless innocence of youth, first to the demands of just and indignant pride, and subsequently to the superior claims of a second, but deeper and nobler aftection, exhibits the heroine in an aspect of almost superhuman fortitude of character, the effect of which is heightened by the contrast which it forms with its feminine softness and grace. The episode of Lady Kvnaston's history, presenting a parallel to that of Adelaide, is well imagined, and commands the sympathies of the reader, though not for a moment withdrawn from the principal figure, upon which the whole interest of this fascinating story is con centrated.— John Bull.

The Select Committee appointed to inquire into and report upon the accommodation afforded in the New Rouse of Commons, and in the lobbies and passages im diately adjacent thereto, and whether any improvement can be made therein, and the probable expense of mak ing such alterations, have proceeded in the examination of the matters to them referred, and have agreed to re port to the House : " That the plan submitted by Mr. Barry, providing accommodatirn for 318 Members on the floor of the House, for 338 Members (if seats for Peers be pro vided in the south gallery), and for 150 Members in the side galleries, allowing twenty inches for each Member, will, in the opinion of the Committee, he an improve ment on the present House, and afford adequate accom modation for the transaction of public business; and that the probable expense of making the alterations proposed will be 8,600 L" It may not be out of place here to mention that, although Mr. Barry has, by adopting the pl an p ropose d by Sir B. Hall (with modifications of his o wn ), se cured accommodation for 468 Members, th e genera l accommodation for the public and the members of the press is or a very meant and unsatisfactory description. The total number of persons, who can secure seats in the building is only 604, viz , 468 Members and 136 strangers. Of the 136 seats allotted to strangers 36 are for Peers and official persons, 36 for persons ad mitted by orders had of th e S peaker, and 64 for the pub lic admissible on presenting the written orders of Mem bers. The accommod a ti on provided for the gentlemen forming the Parl iamentary corps of the morning papers is of the meanest possible description. When it is borne in mind that several o f t h ose gentlemen are com pelled to remain in attendance during the entire sitting of the House, it is not unreasonable to expect that some adequate accommodation should be prepared for them. As at present arranged, their gallery is approachable by a narrow flight of stone steps, which leads to a couple of miserable apartments, with slated floors, and without fireplaces or sufficient light. These rooms, which re semble cella in a penitentiary, are about ten or twelve feet high. One of them is so dark that it is impossible either to read or write in it, and even the luxury of an oaken table is dispensed with, a sort of shelf or ledge of planks being substituted. There is no place where re freshments can be had, and, as before remarked, there is no fireplace in either of the cells. The accommodation provided for third-class pai:eng,ers at a railway station, which is on l y occup i e d for a few minutes, is far pre f. rable to that which the " Select Committee and Mr. Barry have provided for the representatives of the pub lic.—Pest. 6TBAM-BOAT DISASTERS ON THE LAKES.—The committee appointed by the citizens of Cleveland to consider the causes of steam-boat disasters on the lakes have made their report, from which we gather the following facts:— From 1830 to 18,0 there were 7 explosions on the lakes, by which I 1 1 lives were lost; during the period between 1836 and 1850 11 steam-boats were destroyed by fire, causing a loss of 834 lives; and from 1840 to 1850, a period of 10 years, there were 31 collisions by steamers, by which 62 per sons were killed. The loss of life on the lakes during the last ten years, from explosion, fire, and collisions, amounted to 877. The committee were unanimous iu their adoption of a memorial to Congress setting forth the defects in the pre sent system of lake steam navigation, and in recommending the passing of a law embracing suitable remedies. THE ART JOURNAL. Mr. Eastlalie's lovely picture of "A. Greek Girl," familiar to every visitor of the Vernon Collection, forms the subject of the principal illustration; end the felicitous manner in which it has been copied does infinite cr6dit to the skill and ability of Mr. 11. Graves, the engraver. "Grief," from the bas-relief of J. 11. Foley, the distinguished sculptor of Ino and Bacchus, has been transcribed for the next plate' by the graver of Mr. T. W. Knight. In the sketch taken by Mr. Knight from the orignal, the child's foot seems s deformity, and its head appears in dreadful disproportion. The second transcript from the Vernon Gallery in the Art Journal for August is that of btanfield's " Lake of Como," by Mr. J. Conseil. The engraving is admirably careful in its exactitude. Among the literary contributions to this periodical the most noticeable in the present instalment is the article on " The Exhibition of 1851—its Errors and Dangers." Although we are far from coinciding in the whole argument of the writer, we conceive the paper to be well worthy of an HOP INTELLIGENCE. THE WEALD.—There has been nothing during the past fortnight to intercept the progress of the bine, the foliage of which is now presenting a most luxurious and beautiful appearance; the burr is developing itself in rich profusion. Unless some unfortunate accident transpire, the crop will he large. WILDIINGTON.—The hop grounds of George Russell, Esq., are looking remarkably well, and turning into burr. UANTERBURY.—As anticipated, the late wet weather has caused an increase of mould in many grounds, but it is hoped that, if we do not have a continuance of wet, the damage as yet sustained will not prove of very great loss. TICEHURsT.—The hops in this parish are going on favourably, and the burr is coming out very nicely. WORCESTER•—A few hops of last year's growth keep moving at 85s. to 100 s. per cwt., but other sorts are quite neglected and prices nominal. The duty fur the district is set at 20,0001., and the kingdom at 200,00 U., the accounts being very favourable from all quarters.— Maidstone Journal. DEATH OF THE EARL OF DUNRAVEN.--The death of the Noble Earl took place on Tuesday morning, at his re sidence, Adare Abbey, county Limerick. Ills Lordship's malady was chronic supurative disease of the windpipe. The deceased was second Earl of Dunraven, created Viscount Mouutearl, 1816; Viscount Adare, 1822; Baron Adare, .1800 (Ireland) ; Baronet, 1781 (Great Britain); Wyndham Henry Wyndham Quin, son of the first Earl by his wife, sixth daughter of Ist Earl of Ilchester, was born 1782, married 1810 daughter and heiress of Thomas Wyndham, Esq., of Dunraven Castle, Glamorganshire; succeeded his father in 1824 ; assumed the surname of Wyndham before that of Quin in 1813; was Custos Rotulorum of the county Limerick, which he represented many years in Parliament; was elected one of the representative Peers of Ireland in 1839. llis Lordship is succeeded by his son, Edwin Richard 'Wyndham, Viscount Adare, M.P., born 1812, married, 1836, third daughter of Thomas Goold, Esq., Master in Chancery; has represented Glamorganshire in Parliament since 1837, and is a deputy-lieutenant of that county. His Lordship was in his 69th year. As a resident noblemen he gave very general employment, and was most beloved in his neigh bourhood. The present Lord is now at Lucerne. The lion. M. Wyndham Quin, son-in-law of his Lordshio Mr. Mon sell, of Tervoe, M.P., and Lady Anna Maria Monsell, with other distinguished members of the deceased nobleman's family, surrounded his death couch, and was present when he expired.

In fact, no two things can be snore anta gonistic than the relative positions of the free-soil and pro - slaverypernbers in the present Congress, the latter of whom, by the way, are pursuing, and throaglyut the session have been pursuing, a course more than all others most calculated to defeat their own pretensions. One of the last amendments proposed was a wise one, being to set aside further Congressional wrangling re garding the boundary of Texas, and to refer it to com missioners, who, if well chosen, could patiently investi gate and fairly decide the claims, now so long under discussion by those who are so profoundly ignorant on the subject. Should this amendment be adopted, it may secure an immediate passage of the rest of the Bill. The democratic party, north and south, will of course rally all their powerful force to oppose to the utmost the present Administration, strengthened as it is by one of the most influential Cabinets that could have been formed. Nor will this opposition be confined to the de mocrats, for a very considerable discontent has been ex pressed by members from the extreme south, without regard to party, that no one from that section of the country has been called to the councils of the President. It is even alleged that he determined not to nominate to any department a citizen of any state which had sent members to the Nashville convention. This may be only gossip, but will of course answer the purpose of the Op position quite as well as if it were true; at all events, considering the present subdivided state of parties, the fact is by no means insignificant. One knotty difficulty has been overcome by the release of those prisoners at Savannah who were captured on the Mexican island of Contoy, and were charged with forming part of the marauding expedition under M. Lopez. The right to capture them on neutral ground is easily justifi able by the policy which dictated it; nor can any surprise be felt, considering the proximity of the place, that the responsibility of so doing should have been readily as sumed by the Spanish authorities at a moment when the whole island was naturally frightened from its propriety by the rumours then so rife regarding the numerous horde of robbers who were preparing for invasion. The guilt of the parties, too, is unquestionable, and has since been admitted even by themselves, though not proved on the trial. So that, as they confess that they have been well treated, their imprisonment may be looked on as far less than their due. The case of the two vessels is different, and they will no doubt be condemned without any attempt to prevent it, inasmuch as they had on board artillery and various munitions of war, without any ma nifest or other document to prove the legal shipment, clearance, or destination. In fact, it may yet appear in evidence, that not even legal possession of these Articles was obtained, but that they were stolen from the state arsenal at New Orleans, with the connivance of those who had charge of them. The investigation of this part of the affair at the approaching trials in that city will not be devoid of interest. General Scott and Commodore Warrington have taken charge of the War and Navy Departments ad interim, waiting the arrival of the new secretaries. Mr. Webster and Mr. Corwin have resigned their seats in the Senate, and have respectively taken charge of the State and Treasury Departments. It is reported that Mr. Web ster's successor in the Senate will be Mr. E. Everett, who was Minister to England under President Tyler. Accounts from the west regarding the wheat crops were never more satisfactory. Throughout Pennsylva nia, Maryland, Ohio, Michigan, and part of Indiana, the crop has proved excellent both in quantity and qua lity. In Pennsylvania and Ohio, both of which are much depended on for supplies, there never was so abund ant a crop. The custom heretofore adopted in Charleston, South Carolina, of purchasing cotton without re-weighing it, however long it may have been warehoused, is to be dis continued, and purchasers may, at their option, require the factor to have any parcel re-weighed when they sup pose that loss has occurred from evaporation, waste, pil fering, or other cause.

BOSTON, JULY 25.—An interview took places yester day afternoon between Dr. Webster and Mr. Littlefield, at the solicitation of Dr. Webster, in the presence of Mr. Andrews, the gaoler. On their entrance Dr. Webster stepped forward and very cordially and affectionately seized the hand of Mr. L., remarking that ho had long desired to see him; that he could not feel at ease until he had made his acknowledgments to him that he felt that he had done him great injustice, and he asked his forgiveness. Mr. Littlefield promptly and feelingly replied that he forgave him with all his heart, and ex. pressed his pity and sympathy for him. Mr. Littlefield also told him that it was a painful duty he had to perform when he took the stand and testified against him; but that he felt it a duty which he had no right to shrink from; and if he had stated anything wrong it was not intentional, and he was very sorry and asked his for giveness. Dr. Webster replied that he had misrepre sented nothing—that he had told the truth. ])r. Webster said, however, as a dying man, that he could not bring the sledge-hammer to his recollection. Dr. Webster spoke of his present situation, and said he was resigned to his fate, but felt deeply for his family. During the entire interview both parties seemed deeply impressed, and they parted in tears. We learn from another source that Professor Webster seems perfectly resigned and very penitent. Ile says that he has made his peace above, and is prepared to die. We understand that Mrs. Littlefield will visit the professor to-day. It is a full professor in the first seminary of learning in the United States who will be executed on Friday, August 30, unless he anticipates his doom by suicide. CANADA. TORONTO, JULY 20.—Last night all the reporters at the Legislative Assembly withdrew, in consequence of one of their number being called to the bar of the House and censured for requesting a member conversing near the reporters' gallery not to interrupt him. The whole press has resolved to report no more in that House. Garibaldi, the celebrated Italian who so distinguished himself during the late revolutionary struggles in Italy, arrived at the quarantine on Tuesday morning in the ship Waterloo, from Liverpool. It is understood he will remain on Staten Island until the arrangements for his reception in a public manner are perfected. THE lIUNGARIANS.—Gov. Ujhazy and his party left Burlington, lowa, on the Ist inst. for their new home in the prairies of Dicatur County, in that state, the point before selected by him as the future home of himself and his compatriots. They were plentifully supplied with teams and the necessary agricultural implements. THE DEATHS OF GREAT MEN. It may be some consolation to the little to know that their lives are us safe as those of the great, and that en the bed of sickness there is, perhaps, more probability that the humble attendance they may have, will ofte❑ be more successful than the crowd of doctors who are called to the bedside of the great. As a case in point, suppose a poor man had fallen down and broken his rib. He would not have been carried into an elegant drawing room—he would not have been placed upon a patent hy draulic bed—he would not have had all the talent of the land surrounding him—but his ribs would have been exa mined, the fracture would have been discovered, and it may be, his life saved. Not so with Sir Robert Peel ; they spared his feelings, and forbore to examine and find out where he was hurt, so that he literally died under their hands, without receiving any aid from them, in respect to the real cause of his death, and without their even knowing where he was hurt; for they never found out that a rib was broken till after his death. Strange comment this upon our confidence in the great names and a great host of surgeons and doctors. Had it been a poor coati in New York, and he could not bear to be touched for the pain he suffered, we should have given him a dose of chloroform, set the fracture at once, 'and %cry probably have sent him back to his work in a fort night. There are many similar cases among the great, perhaps that of General Taylor may be accounted one. These cases are so numerous, that it would seem almost better for the rich to wish to be poor, es it certainly is better for the poor to be contented, and not to wish to be rich.—New York Herald.

Eliza Coon Journal HORRIFYING EVENT.—An event of a most horri fying nature took place in the townland of Kiltyclaugher„ about three miles from Kingstown. A poor man named James Purvis left home on a begging exclusion. A short time after he was seen returning, when, it would appear, he had attempted to cross a valley between the leading road and his house, in which was a meadow of very long grass. He was very much afflicted with pains, and walked with two staffs. He had got about halt across the meadow, where he was discovered . on Tuesday last. There was nothing of his remains but the principal bones, the en tire flesh and smaller bones being entirely eaten or carried away. His old hat and shoes and two staffs enabled his wife and daughter to identify him. lie could not have been recognised by his garments, as the dos had torn them to get at the The coroner was there; but it could not be ascertained whether he bad died suddenly, or whether he might not have been alive for a day or two. When the few bones, and hair, and skull were piled on the tattered garments, the sight was terrific. A young girl, who came to see him, was so aff r i g ht e d th at she is afflicted with intervals of aberration of mind ever since, laughing outrageously, and crying most bitt er l y i n turn and exclaiming, " The bones "—Coleraine Chronicle. --- 'NS. i~ tb h : t tho' 1 eret d°
