The Queen of SPAIN has at last taken flight, and the closing scene of the insurrection may be said to be taking place. It was, of course, the best thing she could do under the circumstances, but the disap pointment must be a bitter one, and there is nothing to compensate for it. Her MAJESTY bad an inter view at Biarittz with the Emperor and Empress of the Fllr.scii, which was of brief duration. The Royal Family of Spain will, it is said, inhabit the Imperial Castle at Pau. The departure of the QUEEN from the country in which she has so long reigned naturally suggests to the mind the peculiar character of the circumstances which have brought it about, and the consequences that will ensue from it. For some time past experienced persons have noticed that a change was impend ing, though perhaps they were hardly prepared for one of so comprehensive a kind taking place so speedily. For many reasons this insurrection in Spain is a most eventful one, and will hereafter occupy a prominent place in the page of history. Affairs have passed from being simply disturbed into a 'combination of events that betoken grave import and serious future consequences. While the O fficial Gazette of Madrid has been most sedulously striving to impart confidence, and has persistently declared that all the strong points were safe, and that the excitement was one of a transitory nature, events were succeeding each other with a strange rapidity, and a throne was tottering to its foundation, while we were told that the alle giance of the people was secure. It would be idle to say that no regret can be felt for the fall of the Spanish monarchy, because it has not been able to secure regard at home and respect abroad, but still those who are most indignant at the way in which QUEEN ISABELLA carried on affairs will feel some pity for the sad downfall that has become her portion ; she has indeed fallen on evil days, but so great were the risks she ran that she may be thankful at having escaped with no personal injuries to her self or family. It was well that she was away from the capital when the revolt began, for if she had been there a greater effort might have been made to retain her authority, and her friends and ad visers would very likely have urged her to make more of a stand. So far, then, we may conclude that all has been for the best, and that we have just wit nessed an event of great importance, which has taken place as quietly as it possibly could under the circumstances ; so much so, in fact, that it is difficult to realise that the worst is over, and that she who so lately ruled in pomp and magnifi cence is now an exile on a foreign shore, far from the grandeurs of royalty and the splendours of a throne. The Spanish people have borne long and patiently the burden of a reign that was inimical to their tastes and contrary to their wishes, any manifestation of popular in dignation was always met so curtly and put down so sharply, while no attention whatever was paid to the:grievances which called;it forth, that no doubt a general feeling came to be showed that the next movement, take place when it may, must be a de cided one. The next thing to think of is, who is to fill the vacant post? The world never stands still to think of misfortunes and comment on crimes ; one passes away to give way for another, and as the place which knew ISABELLI is to know her no more, it follows as a matter of course that some successor must be found. This will not be an easy task, and perhaps the very number of the aspirants may serve still more to perplex and to delay those who have the power of deciding on coming to a decision, but their choice will be eagerly looked for. The various candidates for admission and read mission to Parliament keep busily at work. As the days and weeks go on, and the magic month of November draws nearer and nearer, their energies become quickened, their committees grow more active, their meetings of supporters and consti tuents increase in number and importance. The THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 1, 1868. constituents and electors of every degree may too not unnaturally be supposed to feel an increasing interest in rival claimants for their suffrages, and rivals there are in plenty both in borough and county. No man who finds himself privileged to vote under the clauses of the new Re form Act need complain that he has not the opportunity of selecting the representative of his own opinions, since Whig and Tory-Conserva tive, Liberal and Radical of every shade of opinion are hurrying to the hustings. There is nothing to regret in this, although sometimes the presence of too many candidates of the same party may tend to defeat the chance of that party's securing a seat at all. The number of candidates shows that the prestige attending our house of Commons is in creased rather than diminished, and that there is no fear of a paucity of men of position, intelligence, and character, who are ready to take their part in the conduct of public affairs. All that is wanted is " a fair field and no favour" on both sides. Every candidate has a right to a fair hearing of his opinions and his intentions, and the battle should be fought openly and straightforwardly, not by the aid of threats, intimidation, or violence of any kind. When the partisans of one side, whether Conser vative or Liberal, contrive to break up a public meeting, or to infuse disorder into it so as to pre vent the opposite party from getting a fair hearing, such conduct is unworthy of honest politicians. We are sorry to find that some very discreditable attempts have been made to put a moral coercion on voters, and if it were not so dis creditable it would be amusing to find the advocates of the ballot adopt such methods of strengthening their own cause. It is reported that in the Tower Hamlets, where a formidable opponent to the Liberal candidates has appeared in the per son of Mr. CoopE, the Liberals have passed a re solution " not to support the tradesmen who advo cate the interests of Mr. COOPE." After this how can they consistently denounce the influence used by a landlord over his tenants, which is certain to call forth bitter reproaches at a public meeting, or the bribery of the poor man by the rich candidate ? It all belongs to the same category of offences, and it is worse than useless for any man to denounce one form of undue influence on electors while he sanctions another. Mr. CoorE on Tuesday addressed a large meet ing of his supporters, and spoke fairly and sensibly. We are glad to find that he is a strong advocate of popular education. The education of the children of the poor meant, he said, the emptying of their reformatories, the closing of their gaols, the reduc tion of their police expenses, and the raising of the moral tone of the whole nation. He is also in favour of the equalisation of the poor rates through out the whole metropolis, and this important reform we shall hope to see carried in the next Parliament, whoever may be the chosen representative for the Tower Hamlets. Mr. CoorE, as a large employer of labour, takes much interest in the question of trades unions. He is so favourable to them that he consi ders their funds, when applied to legal objects, should be secured by legal enactments. Strikes he denounces in toto as injurious to the employer, to the public, and to the labourer and his family. He is anxious to see courts of conciliation or boards of arbitration resorted to in their stead. They should be composed of men perfectly neutral in their position, who should decide on the rate of wages, the rate to be paid for overtime, the number of working hours, &c. There would be, however, one difficulty respecting these boards. No man could fairly judge such questions unless he were familiar with the particular trade, and any connection with the trade would tend to bias his judgment. However, this obstacle might be surmounted, and the principle is a sound one. The publication of the Quarter's Revenue Tables brings welcome intelligence to those who were rendered somewhat uneasy by the unfavourable report of the June quarter. A net increase of £205,265 on the quarter, of £707,343 on the half year, and £837,091 on the twelvemonth, as com pared with the corresponding periods of 1867, augurs well for the revival of public confidence and prosperity. The income for the quarter just ended was £15,119,005 against £14,913,7.10 in the same quarter of last year. It is true that we still find a decrease under the heads of Customs and Excise, as well as under those of Stamps and Post-office, indicating the prevailing dul ness of trade and lack of enterprise. The Customs, however, show an increase of £35,000 over the June quarter, and the Post office an increase of £70,000 during the same time. It is impossible that the long-continued effects of the commercial panic at home, and the unsettled condition of continental affairs, should suddenly cease to make themselves felt, but it is satisfactory to know that in spite of all disadvantageous cir cumstances our tables show an actual rate of in crease, and that if our expenses are heavy, and our outlay as some think excessive, we have at least the satisfaction of knowing that our income keeps pace with our requirements, and that the unpopular income tax even in a time of depression and stag nation returns in one quarter more than £400,000 to the revenue. The Earl of CARNARVON, as President of the Na tional Association for the Promotion of Social Science, delivered a most interesting address on Wednesday . at Birmingham. Notwithstanding that the noble lord at the outset of his remarks declared that he could only suggest rather than argue, and indicate rather than explain, those who peruse his discourse attentively will agree that he suc ceeded in his efforts, and continued to put before his hearers a fair exposition of the subject most suitable to the occasion. It has been the wise custom in the arrangements of this association to keep to those subjects which re late to ourselves, and if the inquiries that took place have referred to foreign countries the allusion has been made with a view to all our circumstances. Sanitary science is a subject that greatly engages the notice of those of the present day, but it is here remarked that injustice is done to our ancestors by supposing that they _neglected the matter alto gether. Still we have to look at the question in a comprehensive form, as it relates especially to large towns, in a numerous population, and this age may lay claim to the most devoted study of the science. The difficulty is to apply the knowledge that is so abun dantly put before us in every variety of shape. It is connected with politics, trades, physiology, and mixing up various items of information respecting disease at home and abroad. The health of London stands the highest of the great cities of England, in consequence of the better adaptation of the sanjtary laws, and Birmingham ranks high in the list, so that we may see how much can be done to compen sate for the existence of most unfavouitable circum stances by thought and activity. The last session of Parliament did not see much done ',in the way of improvements eu this imports at theme, but among the acts passed we may menti on that of the improvement of the dwellings of '.the poor, and the Pharmacy Act, which provided for the better regulation of the sale of drugs. Re peit•- ing the Vaccination Act, the President o f oerved that though vaccination owed its birth to tl 5 O genius of an English physician, other countries have pro fited more by its properties. This does not speak very strong of our powers of appreciation as a na tion, and it will be well if the spread of general knowledge, which seems already to be diffused among the poorer classes, may do away with some of the prejudices that exist on the subject, the nourishing of which tends so greatly to interfere with the benefit of the discovery. We entirely agree with Lord CA2NARVON that, beset as it is with difficulties, the subject of the improvement of the dwellings of labourers and artizans is one with which "in the onward march of all national life we must deal." The mind and character of a people are formed in their dwellings ; and how can the one be raised or the other im proved in a place that is not fit for human habita tion. Neither intelligence nor morality can pro gress in the wretched abodes to which too many of our poorer countrymen are consigned ; and it is a great reproach to our vaunted progress that more has not been done already on the subject. So far as we can judge by experience the march of civili sation, or the provision that is made for its require ments, tend to increase the hardships of the poor in many places, because they are turned out of their homes and cannot readily find a substitute. We shall return to this interesting address on another occasion. LATEST INTELL MENGE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.) THE INSURRECTION IN SPAIN, PARIS, Oct. 1. The Moniteur of this morning contains the fol- towing:— BIARRITZ, Sept. 30. The events in Spain having taken a more serious turn since yesterday, the Queen has decided to leave San Sebastian for France. Informed in the morn ing of this intention the Emperor hastened to send to the frontier three officers of the Imperial House hold—namely, General Castelnau, Chambellan, Dumauoir, and Lieutenant of Marine Couneau. The Royal train arrived at Hendaye at 11 o'clock a.m., with the Queen, the King Consort, and their four children, Don Sebastian, uncle of the Queen, the Minister of State, and several officers of the household. A large number of officials from St. Sebastian and many officers of the garrison accom panied the Queen to the frontier, and rendered thd honours due to Royalty on her Majesty quitting Spanish territory. The Emperor, the Empress, and the Imperial Prince, surrounded by the members of the Imperial household, awaited the arrival of the Queen at the railway station. After an interview, which was marked by such expressions of sympathy which misfortune never fails to inspire, the train proceeded to Pau, where the Queen intends to take up her residence for some time at the Castle, which the Emperor has placed at the disposal of her Majesty. The Moniteur says in its bulletin : Serious events have occurred in Spain within the last two days, but have only become known by telegraph. Particulars are still wanting. The encounters expected between the Commander of the Royal troops, Marquis de Novaliches, and Marshal Serrano which was considered would have a decisive character, took place on the 28th instant. The Official Gazette of Madrid of the 29th inst. contains a report of the battle, describing it as of minor importance, and while admitting that Gene ral Novaliches had been wounded, asserting that he remained master of the field. A certain agitation, however, was manifested at the capital, and the Government is3ued a proclama tion exhorting the inhabitants to maintain order. The particulars of the battle at the bridge of Alcolea and what immediately followed have not transpired. It would appear, however, that Gene ral de la Concha resigned his post upon the reports he received from the Marquis de Novaliches per sonally, when the latter arrived in the course of the afternoon. A Provisional Junta was then formally composed of men representing the various shades of the par ties engaged in the movement. This Junta, which now governs Madrid, is presided over by Senor Madoz. General Prim and Marshal Serrano are expected to-day. Much excitement prevailed in the capital on the night of the 29th, but the night passed without any serious disturbances. MADRID, Sept. 30, Noon. Perfect order prevails. New functionaries have been appointed to the public service. It is asserted that the Generals Manuel de la Concha and Zapaleros have been arrested. I\lAnnin, Sept. 30, Evening. The elections for the Constituent Cortes by uni versal suffrage will commence here to-morrow. The Provisional Juntas and the District Com mittees maintain tranquillity in the capital. Orders have been issued for arming the Militia and the National Guard. General Prim and Marshal Serrano will arrive to-morrow. General Manuel de la Concha and General Cheste have both left Madrid, the latter proceed ing to France. The English residents have congratulated the new Government on its success. The city of Barcelona has pronounced against he Royal cause. MAGAZINE DAY. BLACKWOOD—shows forth this month as vigor ously as ever, and this alike in fiction, in cri ticism, in poetry, in essays, and in biography. Its biographical portion has reference again to the Right Honourable Benjamin Disraeli, of the résumé of whose career we have here the third instalment. Judging from the progress already made, several other chapters will evi dently have to appear before the series will be com pleted. The Essayist of Maga is still our delightful, we bad almost said our interminable and irrepres sible, friend and gossip Cornelius O'Dowd, who is here, however, less successful than it is his wont to be—less anecdotal, in effect, and altogether less vivacious. "Madame Aurelia" way, it may be remembered, the serial story commenced in Black wood for September. It is here continued by a second instalment ; but, even yet, we can hardly venture to assert that it has begun to exercise any fascination over us. Le bon temps viendra peutetre. Of the " Historical Sketches of the Reign of George II.," we have here the seventh—which will be found devoted to the delineation of "The Reformer," meaning the Religious Reformer of the time, John Wesley. Besides two graceful copies of verses by W. W. S., and one facetious, fleering, electioneering squib, or fete d'esprit, en titled "The True Irish Grievances ;" there are two specimens of padding, one at least of which is readable, to wit a paper on "Clever Women." FRASER—for October is solid, rather heavy, but valuable for all that, and upon the whole—litera ture. " Church Policy" tackles the question of the day, as John Willett would say, seriously. It is in every sense the leading article of the number. A couple more chapters are there given of that oddly named serial " Oatnessiana." Richard Burton stirs us to the marrow of our bones with two more of the Vampire's Tales of Devilry. While a congenial spirit, S. Baring Gould, discourses about Kalewi poeg—writing probably while the dog star was rag.; ing and Sir R. Mayne's muzzles were on, It. A. Proctor obliges us with " News from Sirius." THE DUBLIN UNlVERSlTY—contains two contri butions especially deserving commendation. One introducing us to "More Ghosts, Old and New." The other being the first portion of a series of re miniscelcos of the Theatre It )yal Dablin from 1830 to 1851. As a matter of course the Da!din has a political on the " Irish Church ;" and equally, as a matter of course, a further instalment of J. S. Le Fanu's tale of " Flaunted Lives." COLBIifIN'S UNITED SERVlCE—though thoroughly military and naval in its character --is in many of its articles, as usual, thoroughly readable by civilians. To the latter especially we would com mend the latest illustration of the Great Duke's especial abhorrence, " A Little War," as furnished by a passing record of " C?.mpaigning in Honduras." THE NEW MONTHLY—as its piece de resistance, has the continuation of the novel commenced only last month, namely, " Her Winning Ways." Be sides this Mrs. Bashby collects for us " Legends of the Black Forest," while somebody else, oddly enough, is still contributing a chapter a month on " Blacklock Forest." Nicholas Michell yet blows his oaten reed—this time in celebration of Single Blessedness. BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY—provides us with no less than three serial stories, one of them but just com menced in this current nu.nber for October, the name and heroine of it being " My Cousin Ciara." Mark Saville's " Worth the Winning " is another. And the third is " The Life History of a Good Old Town." The residue of the miscellany is made up of unmistakeable contributions to the lightest of light literature : such as "The Alchemist or the Haunted Tower," such as " A Spirit's Tale, or Aunt Ella's Story, " The Two Graves," "The Gipsey Lady," and " Percy's Return "—containing stories galore ! _ _ THE CORNHlLL—begimby ending Charles Lever's latest fiction, " The Bratnleighs of Bishop's Folly:" and although the tale is anything but the best one by that great Irish:novelist, it is so pleasantly borne in our remembrance that wa shall miss the familiar forms and faces of Jack, and Marion, and oil Culduff. With a view to compensate us for the loss a new serial story is here commenced —by who:n wo know not—angler the na:n3 of " Lettica Lisle." The number closes with a deserved tribute to that g 0.31 hater of all abuses—J. 0., otherwise Jacob Oamium, otherwise MattliewJam as Higgins. Everybody will be interested to read the paper relating to Ajaccio, memorable as the birth place of the Great Napoleon. From it we give elsewhere a paragraph quotation. BELGRlVlA—complete3, with this October num ber, its third year awl sixth volume—a varied collec tion of entertaining light literature, never dull, and profusely and often very gracefully illustrated. The miscellaneous portion of the present number is packed, sandwich-like, between two aerial continua tions—namely, the continuation of "Bound to John Company," and the continuation of "Charlotte's Inheritance." Besides these there is a third serial continuation, intermediately given, in the shape of sundry other chapters of "Diana Gay," by Percy Fitzgerald. A more than ordinarily discursive jumble of all sorts of olds and ends of travel-talk, or wandering recollections, has been contributed by G. A. Sala, in a paper descriptive of what that lively feuelletonist calls "The Great Circumbendibus." The best article of all, however, to oar taste, though among them all (and that avowedly) the least original, is Walter Thornbury's anecdotal ac count among other clubs of The Literary Club, founded in 1764 by Dr. Johnson, The Travelle r ' s originated in 1814 by Lord Castlereagh, a n d Th e Carlton in 1831 by the Duke of Wellington. TimeLE BAR—thOugh published like the majo rity of its parti-coloured contemporaries for a shilling is big enough, and clever enough to have been purchaseable like the select few at half-a crown. As to the serial tales adorning the pre sent number, while one of them (only recently commenced), " Vera," gives us four additional chapters, the other (now fast winding to its con clusion), " Kitty," gives us just double the number, and is manifestly bringing the reader within sight of the de'nouement. Between these two serial tales there are as many as eight miscellaneous contribu tions, mostly prose, but, altogether, of the most diversified character. TINSLEY'S MAGAZlNE—besides " Breaking a Butterfly" a little more effectually under the in quisitorial hand of the author of "Guy Livingstone," is remarkable again for one or two contributions of a miscellaneous character. After having recently sneered at Mr. Matthew Arnold's capabilities alike as poet and as critic, and after having yet more recently covered Mr. Swinburne and his works with words of scorn, loathing and vituperation, Tinsley this mouth perfectly smothers Mr. William Morris, the author of " Jason" and of the " Earthly Para dise," under eulogiums that would be extravagant, even supposing them to have been applied to the poetic masterpieces of Shelley or of Coleridge. THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE —is, as usual, since the inauguration, four months ago, of this Entirely New Series, full of variety : and— what was very unusual formerly with Syl vanua Urban—is thoroughly readable from its opening to its conclusion. Besides a conti nuation, by six new chapters, of the story entitled "Not in Society," with which the sub scribers have been some time familiar, a fresh serial tale is here commenced, with much animation, under the name of its hero, " Christopher Kenrick —His Life and Adventures." Christop'ier has al ready in this first instalment run away from home, become a member of the Fourth Eitate, and fallen in love, so that he may be said even nom to have fairly male a beginning both of his life an I of his adventures. In the third portion of "My Last Session," there is a radiant tribute to the oratorical powers of the Prime Minister. Al elaborate art criticism on " Albert Darer and the Fairford Win dows" is contributed to the Gentleman's 111.igaz;ine by Mr. Tom Taylor, himself one of the ablest art critics of our time. THE AloNim---opens with an aitnirable paper on the Czar NichoLts, full of anecdote, and briefly but brilliantly descriptive of the character of that great and terrible despot. The two aerial etories now adorning The Month, are continued, to wit, 4; Endoxia," and "Annie Severin." There is, _ . besides, a good biographical and critical article on Calderon, the Spanish Dramatist—Don Pedro Calderon de la Barea llenao y Riano. The whole number closes with a in tsterly reply by th?. Very Rev. Dr. J. H. Newman, in answer t) a letter by the Rev. T. Mossman on the subject of " Anglican Sacerdotalism." THE Sr. JAXES'S --would have looked all the better under its new aspect if it had not been (as it is) pared to the quick—leaving scarcely any in irgin whatever to the letter-press. Dolls, Snake Eating, ‘Votnen's Novels, Literary Fools, the Inevitable Baby, and the Stage Swindle are among the odd titles of the miscellaneous contributions making up this number for October. LONDON SOCIETY --still holds its own by reason mainly of its affluent and some of them exquisite illustrations. Two of the3e in this October number are charming. One, the discovery of a love-letter under a flower-pot in a conservatory. The other, the ideal delineation of " A Lost Love." The literature soi-disant constituting the bulk of the letter-press, is as effervescent, frothy, ephemeral, and unsatisfying as a whipped syllabub. This though Tom Hood and Robert Buchanan are among the number of the contributors. TIIE BROADWAY—makes a noble show of writers as is visible in the mere catalogue of contributors to this new number for October. Henry Kingsley leads off with a continuation of his serial story of "Shelton." Westland Marston follows hum xliately in his wake with a fine harmonious sonnet on " Love and Immortality." The Rev. Newman Hall opens up to our view some of his "Impressions of America." James Hannay descants with evident delight upon the genius of Thackeray as a humorist and a satirist. Annie Thomas, otherwise (anything but in beautification of her name) Mrs. Pender Cud lip rattles on through two more chapters of " False Colours." Sir John Bowring chaunts us a Hymn ; and G. A. Sala gives certain directors a rating apropos to divers "Railway Accidents and Railway Management." Clumuzßs's JOURNAL--should be welcomed this month, if for nothing else, for the charming little bundle of recollections by an old playgoer (one who must be at the very least a septuagenarian, we should conjecture) in reference to the last appear ance of ..Sir Joshua's Tragic Muse, meaning, of course, Mrs. Siddons, in her great character as Lady Macbeth. Reading these remembrances of the old playgoer, we think of our present Shak sperian performances wistfully, almost despair ingly. AUNT JUDY—dear old lady—prattles away as pleasantly as ever for the young people—" Talking Jewels," " Heroes of La Vendee," " An' Old Dog," and "Lest Legends of the Nursery," making up the bulk of the good things provided for her little audience during this present October. TILE ARGOSY —comes " laden with golden grain," (according to its motto) portioned out this month in six parcels. Tho ripest sample is still the edi tress's own contribution, being another portion of her serial story of " Anne Hereford." ONCE A IVEEK —continues to flourish under the able direction of Mr. Dallas. Eltze has three more of his whimsical dioramic drawings, apropos re spectively to Parliamentary seats, Coast scenery, and the Cab strike. The table-talk is as hitherto pleasantly done, and the authoress of " All for Greed" developer now power in the continuance here of her new story, entitled " Love the Avenger." GOLDEN FOURS —no vin its tenth number—yet holds its own bravely among the throng of Illus trated Monthly Magazines for Family and General Reading, edited by the Rector of St. James's, Dr. Meynell Whittemore. Conspicuous among its con tributors are Martin Tupper and the author of " Mary Powell." Of the illustrations little can be said in praise : but the letterpress, as a rule, is entitled to commendation. LE FOLLET—is less fantastic than usual ; and the ENGLISH MACIIANIC —moro than ordinarily choke full of interesting and valuable information. Besides the foregoing we have received the Jour nal of the East India Association, the reprint of Household Words, the Young Englishman, Mrs. Beeton's Book of Household Management, the Englishwoman's Domestic Magazine, the Boy's Own Magazine, Bee ton's Dictionary of Geography, the Astro-Meteoric Journal, &c. ITALY. ROME, Sept. 30. The Official Journal of to-day publishes an apostolic ;letter of the Pope to all Protestant and other non-Catholic religious bodies,',wherein his Holiness announces that in his quality of universal pastor he has convoked a General Council, and his Holiness prays earnestly at this time for their union with the Roman Catholic Church. The Pope concluded by exhorting them to profit by the occasion and by his prayers. C A French steamer h w as m ar V riv E e c d c n h a er , e Se w p i t. th 29. two steamers iu tow for naval service in the Tiber. THE WEST AFRICAN MAILS. LIVERPOOL, Oct. 1. The West Coast of Africa Royal Mail steamer Calabar, with the above mails, has arrived here. Her dates are—Benin, September 2 ; Fernando Po, August 29 ; Cameroons, 29 ; Old Calabar, 27 ; Jellah Coffee, September 5 ; Monrovia, 12 ; Bonny, 1; Lagos, 4 ; Accra, 6 ; Cape Coast Castle, 7 ; Cape Palmas, 9 ; Sierra Leone, 14 ; Bathuis, 17 ; Teneriffe, 22 ; and Madeira, 24. The Calabar brings 2,370 ounces of gold dust, £2,108 in specie, and 35 passengers, amongst whom are several Spa nish gentlemen who had been exiled, and are re turning to Spain from Fernando Po. There is no news of importance. CALCUTTA, Sept. 4 (via Brindisi). Baboo Prosonna Coomar Pagore, a member of the Legislative Council of Bengal, died on the 30th August. Sir Cusack Roney, who has been long known in connection with home and colonial railwar, died yes ,terday. LIFE-BOAT SERVICE. TENBY, Wednesday Night. I have to report (says Capt. Drummond) that the Florence lifeboat, belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution, went off yesterday in a very heavy gale from the S.W., and succeeded in bring ing ashore the master and crew of three men of the schooner Carnsew, of Hayle, which was at anchor in a very dangerous position off the east end of Caldy Island, and hoisted a signal of distress. The lifeboat had to be taken along the shore on its car riage a distance of two miles to windward of the vessel before being launched. The boat and crew behaved admirably. It was past midnight befora the lifeboat was safely lodged in its house again. BUCKIE, N. 8., Wednesday Afternoon. John Macdonald, Esq., of the City of Glasgow Bank at this place, states that last night and to-day the boat of the National Lifeboat Institution has done noble work in saving forty-five persons from numerous fishing boats which had been overtaken by a storm, outside Buckle.

MOVEMENT OF TROOPS.—Yesterday a detachment of the 29th Regiment arrived at Liverpool aid embarked on board the steamer Belgian, which sails to-day for Quebec, where the detachment will join the head-quarters of the regiment. The first Masonic funeral that ever occurred in California took place in the year 1849, and was performed over the body of a brother found drowned in the bay of San Francisco. An account of the ceremonies states that on the body of the deceased was found a silver mark of a Mason, upon which were engraved the initials of his name. A little further investigation revealed to the beholder the most singular exhibition of Masonic emblems that was ever drawn by the ingenuity of man upon the human skin. There is nothing in the history or traditions of Free masonry equal to it. Beautifully doted on his left arm in red or blue ink, which time could not efface, appeared all the emblems of the Entered Apprentice. There were the Holy Bible, the Square, the Compass, the 24-inch Gauge, and the common Gavil. There were also the mosaic pavement representing the ground-floor of King Solo mon's Temple, the intended Tessel which surrounds it, and the Blazing Star in the centre. On his right arm, and artistically executed in the same indelible liquid, were the emblems pertaining to the Fellow Craft degree, viz., the Square, the Level, and the Plumb. There wore also the five columns representing the five orders of Architecture—the Tuscan, Doric, lonic, Corinthian, Com posite. In removing the garments from his body the trowel presented itself, with all the other tools of operative masonry. OVer his heart was the Pot of Incense. On the other parts of his body wore the 800 Hive, the Book of Constitutions, guarded by the Tyler's Sword ; the Sword pointing to a naked heart ; the All-seeing Eye ; the Anchor and Ark, the Hour Glass, the Scythe, the Forty seventh problem of Euclid; the Sun, Moon, Stars, acrd Comets ; the three steps emblematical of Youth, Manhood, and Age. Admirably executed was the weeping Virgin, reclining on a broken column, upon which lay the Book of Constitutions. In her left hand sbo held the Pot of Incense, the Masonic emblem of a pure heart, and in her uplifted hand a Sprig of Acacia, the emblem of tin im mortality of the soul. Immediately beneath li,r stood winged Time, with his scythe by his side, which cuts the brittle thread of life, and the Hour Glass at his feet, which is ever reminding us that our lives aro withering away. The withered and attenuated fingers of fee De stroyer were placed amid the long and gracefully flowing ringlets of the disconsolate mourner. Tuns were the striking emblems of mortality and immortality beautifully blended in one pictorial representation. It was a spec tacle such as Masons never saw before, and, in all proba bility, such as the fraterntt.y will never witness again. The brother's name was never known. ••••••• • ' HER MAJESTY. BALMORAL CASTLE, Sept. 29. The Queen, accompanied by Princess Beatrice and Prince Leopold, drove yesterday to Loch Muick. The Duke of Edinburgh left the Castle yes terday to take the command of her Majesty's ship Galatea at Plymouth. The Right lion. B. Disraeli also left the Castle yesterday. THE RIGHTFUL HEIR. The liveliest anticipations are felt in regard to Lord Lytton's New Play, and this not only in the Theatrical World, bat equally also so in the world of art and in the world of literature. Saturday next, that is the day after to-morrow, is already marked off, through these anticipations, as one to be held in espe2ial remernbranc3. Everything that could be done to insure success at the Lyceum, it is understood, has been done, or is being done by those in any way intrusted with the privilege of participating in its production. The Rightful Heir will come before the public at any rate as the matured creation of the most bril liant and successful of living dramatists—the author of " Money," of " The Lady of Lyons," of " Richelieu." The principal characters will be impersonated by artists of high reputation —conspicuous among them being Herr Bandinann, Mr. and Mrs. Herman Vezin, and Mr. Neville . NVliat the enterprize and munificence of a theatri cal manager could do towards the insuring of the effective production of a work of this eminent cha racter, whatever could be done towards that end in the way of scenery, costume, and so forth, has been done by Mr. E. T. Smith, the Lyceum manager. Altogether, the playgoers of Lou don have a rare treat before them, reminding one of the old times when the legitimate drama ,was still in its glory. Insomuch that we not only count for certain upon a grand success await ing the first appearance of the The Rightful Heir on Saturday, but we look with equal confidence for a long run afterwards of Lord Lytton's latest dra matic production. C LiARL ES DICKENS, And his Farewell Readings. Who is there amongst us who will not be eager to attend them ? These Farewell Readings of our greatest living Humorist! Himself —in voice, in look, in face, in his whole outward appearance— the- very incarnation (while he is going through these Readings, so-called, though they are in point of fact no readings at all) the very incarnation, visibly and audibly, of the most w:dely contrasted of his most famous creations! Character after character appears before us, living and breathing, in the flesh, while we look and listen. It matters no thing that the great author is all the while himself before us in his own identity. His evening costume goes for nothing—the flower in his button hole, the paper knife in his hand, the book before him, that earnest, animated, mobile; delightful face of his that we all know by heart through his übiquitous photographs, all go equally for nothing. We kno ff that he alone is there all the while before us— reading, no, rather let us say re-creating, for us one and all, while his lips are speaking the familiar words his hand first wrote so long ago—one after after another, the most renowned of the imaginary creatures peopling his books. Watching him, heark ening to him,while he stands there unmistakably be fore us on the raised platform, in the glare of the gas-burners shining do wn upon him, from behind the pendant screen immediately above his head, we may assert quite confidently and quite truly that his individuality altogether disappears, while we see before us instead—just as the case may happen to be—Mrs. Gatrip, or Mr. Pickwick, or Little Paul Dombey, or Dr. Marigold, or Mr. Squeers, or Sam Weller, or Mr. Peggotty, or some other of those immortal personages. We are as conscious—as though we saw them—of the bald head, the spectacles, the capacious waistcoat, and the little gaiters of Mr. Pickwick—of the snuffy tones, the immense umbrella, and the volu minous bonnet and gown of Mrs. Gamp— of the belcher necktie, of the mother-of-pearl but tons, and of the coloured waistcoat of the voluble Cheap Jack—of little Paul's sweet face and gentle voice—of the one eye and the well kuo wn pair of wel lingtons adorning the head and legs of Mr. IVack ford Squeers—of Sam's imperturbable nonchalance, and Mr. Peggotty's hearty, briny, sou'-wester of a voice and general demeanour ! Remembering all these wonderful creations, and how any one who lists can enjoy the privilege of witnessing their absolute impersonation, like so many realities (as they are) by their creator, Mr. Charles Dickens himself—who is there amongst us, we again ask, who will not gladly and eagerly attend some, at least, if not the whole complete series, of these famous Readings —more especially that they are about to be given for the last time, or by way of final Farewell. FUNERAL OF THE DEAN OF ST. PA UL'S. THIS DAY. The burial of the mortal remains of the Very Rev. Henry Hart Milman, Dean of St. Paul's Ca thedral, took place this morning. Shortly before 12 o'clock the funeral cortege quitted the deanery, in Doctors' Commons, the residence of the deceased, and proceeded in foot to the Cathedral, the great bell tolling. On arriving at the western door the body was received by the clergy and conducted to the choir, the choristers chanting the opening sen tences of the burial service, " I am the resurrec tion and the life." The procession was extremely short and simple. On the coffin rested a plume of sable feathers, which was the only trapping of woe used on the occasion. The only member of the corporation present was the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor (Alderman Allen), and he attended in the ordinary habit of a private gentleman. The mourners were the Rev. William H. Mil. man (chief), Arthur Milman, Esq., Sir Walter Milman, Bart., Colonel Geore Milman, 11. S. Mil man, Esq., Colonel Bryan Milman, Colonel Cockell, Hon. E. Twistleton, J. Murray, Esq., Herman Merrivale, Esq., Rev. W. Scott, F. Pen rose, Esq., surveyor to the Cathedral, the Rev. Mr. Harness, and IL Dyke, Esq. The body having been placed near the pulpit, the concluding portion of the service was performed, after which the coffin was conveyed to the grave prepared for, it, at the back of the lectern, but pre cisely in front of the communion-table. The solemn service having terminated, the dead march pealed forth, and, amidst its deep and splen did tone, the -funeral cortege returned to the deanery. There was a very large attendance of the public, most of whom were dressed in mourning, and it was only the extraordinary number present that made the funeral of the distinguished scholar and divine differ from that of an ordinary person. The deceased was born in Loudon, February 10, 1791, and was the youngest son of Sir Francis Mil man, physician to George 111. He was educated at Dr. Burney's academy at Greenwich, at Eton, and at Brasenose College, Oxford. In 1817 he took orders, becoming at once clergyman and dramatist, received the vicarage of St. Mary's Reading, and published the play of " Fazio." The drama was played with some succeesg, particularly at Covent Garden, where Miss O'Neill sustained the character of the heroine. In the early part of 1818 his next work, " Samar," au heroic p oem i n t we l ve b oo k s a ppeared. In 1820 he published another poem, called the " Fall of Jerusalem," and founded on the narrative of Josephus. In 1821 he was elected Professor of Poetry to the University of Oxford. He shortly published, at brief intervals, " Anne Boleyne," the " Martyr of Antioch," and " Belshazzar," a " His tory of Christianity," a" History of the Jews," and "Notes and illustrations to Gibbon's Decline and Fall." Having been some time rector of St. Marga ret's, Westminster, he was, in November, 1849, presented to the deanery of St. Paul's. V .
