But aft. 9-yen., 24 min aft. 10 , :surely other circumstances may, and frequently aft. 10 n. 27 men. at% 11, do, occur in connection with the adultery of the husband, giving the wife an equal claim to an adequate remedy. In every Christian country, no matter what the prevailing religion, whether Roman Catholic or Protestant, except our own, the same measure of justice is meted forth to male and female. Ours, where we profess to elevate the female character, where our allegiance is due to a female Sovereign, is the single and unenviable ex ception to the general rule. Here it is that we deliberately deprive woman of equal rights, strip her of her own property, nay, more, of the fruits of her own industry, rendering her the humble companion or devoted slave of her hus band, rather than the partner of his joys and sorrows—the alleviator of every misfortune, a real helpmate and comforter in his afflictions ! Even in the existing laws it is different. In the Ecclesiastical Courts the same judgment is pronounced in cases of adultery, whether the crime be committed by the husband or wife ; and likewise by the law of ,Scotland no distinction is made—the adultery of either is placed on pre cisely the same footing ; and it has never been pretended that the rule has occasioned any incon venience, or that our brothers and sisters on the other side of the Tweed %re less moral and reli gious, or that the nuptial vow is regarded with greater laxity than here ; nor can it be said that the extension of the law to cases of adultery by the husband will give occasion for a great num ber of suits for divorce. The proceedings can originate only with the wife, and she has, both as to feeling and interest, so much at stake, so much to relinquish which must be most dear to her, that there is little fear of her resorting to this remedy, except in extreme cases, and after all hope of amendment has ceased. The second protest, signed by Lords LYND HURST and HUTCHINSON (Earl of Donoughmore, in Ireland) relates to wilful desertion by either party ! Why, when the sacred promise made at the altar has been wilfully violated—when the great objects of the Divine ordinance are wholly frus trated—should the abandoned party be perma nently chained to one who has disregarded his or her obligations ? Why, when the consideration has notoriously failed, shoUld the contract be held binding on the innocent and deeply injured party ? It has been held by the highest autho rities of the Anglican Church, whose names are set forth in the protest, that wilful desertion was a scriptural ground for divorce. We profess to be under a reformed Church ! Why, then, should Puseyite Prelates and Lords give greater weight to the decisions and views of the Council of Trent, than to those of Protestant Churches all over the world ? It is also exceedingly desirable that the law on so important a subject should be assimilated in all parts of the United Kingdom ; that a woman should not be held an adultress in England who is legally married in Scotland ; that her legal is sue in the Sister Kingdom should not be bas tardised in this country ! For all these cogent reasons we earnestly hope that the bill may be amended in the Commons, and that by so large a majority, that it may induce the Lords to re-consider their former decisions, and to avoid a collision on a subject where truth and justice, policy and expediency, are alike against them. A House that numbers Lords LYNDHURST and BROUGHAM amongst its members should not array themselves amongst the persecutors of the Gentle Sex. WEATHEti-81724 OFFICE, JULY 2.

We published it in our columns yesterday. We re produce it to-day elsewhere in this present im pression. We hope that it will be reprinted, far and wide, in the broadsheets of our liberal pro vincial contemporaries. It is the one great divi sion of the sessicn ! The only one worth looking , at ! The only ona that can really and truly be spoken of in a figurative way as a Test or a Touchstone. And it is this. So far as it relates to the Reform of Reforms—" The Ballot" it is a test, and a test applied to a New Parliament. [a some respects the result is very encouraging. For inasmuch as it shows that we have now in the popular branch of the Legislature upwards of 200 resolute supporters of The Ballot, it is full of encouragement. It indicates—that minority of 1189, or (counting the tillers and 28 pairs) of 219 that we are indeed getting on appreciably ! That we are, as we said yesterday, arrived, so to speak, at the tenth hour, in regard to this matter of the Ballot. Patience—Energy—Perseverance—and it will yet be ours ! At the eleventh hour we shall have a rush of new advocates of that great -eform of the Ballot, which was once under a po ll ical taboo, was coolly ignored, was haughtily pooh-poohed—hut which is now becoming day by day more and more popular. Don't we all of us perfectly well recollect when Mr. BERKELEY stood in the House of Commons in a position quite as insulated in regard to The Ballot as that in which Ar. VILLIERS stood, once and often, in refer ence to the dogmas and principles of Free-trade ? Why, it seems only yesterday that it was as we have said—in what was then St. Stephens. Yet ra very few sessions pass by, and lo ! the mere aandful of Reformers told out into the lobby by the Honourable Member for Bristol and his faith ful lieutenant the Honourable Baronet the Repre sentative of Westminster—we suddenly find extended into actually more than One-Third of the Housa of Commons ! Courage, combi nation, and consistency, will soon bring us to the happy realisation of all our long-cherished hopes, in regard to The Ballot, as we have already termed it the Reform of Reforms. Let the truth now be insisted upon, that without " The Ballot " the promised Reform Bill of 1858, will be absolutely nothing less than " a mockery, a snare, and a lelusan ! 5 ' Lord PALMERSTON, in the most paltry way imaginable; shirked the question on Tuesday evening by his personal non-attendance ! His Ministerial representative upon the Treasury bench, the Right Hon. Baronet the Chancellor of the Exchequer equivocated and equivocated ! While, from his accustomed place upon that back bench, behind the Government, the Noble Lord the member for the City of London spoke right out words that ought to have made the ears of his brother the Sergeant -at-Arms tingle again ! In these and some other particulars the spectacle presented by Tuesday's Debate, and still more by Tuesday's Division, was sufficiently disheartening and melancholy. But in other re- Teets, as we intimated yesterday, the results of both Debate and Division are fraught with conso 'ation and encouragement. Let them be frankly tccepted and used as such by all earnest advocates the Ballot both within and without the walls of Parliament, via., as a solace for present dis appointment and an incentive to future and more strenuous exertions ! If the Ballot be good for the Clubs, why not for the people ? Is it one law for the rich—another for the poor ? Impartial Legislators and Judges !—can you spell the word —S ham e, and hide your blushes ! ! ! The fearful mutiny that has just occurred in the Indian Army, although it may be completely sup pressed and severely punished, roust be regarded as a matter for deep and serious consideration ! Disaffection in the army appointed to guard and protect the general interests, is the most formid able danger that can arise. Its causes must be strictly investigated, and accurately discovered. If they are easily preventible, no pains should be spared to remove well-grounded cause of cons plaint. If no adequate remedy can be provided, the dangerous element should be removed, the insubordinates deprived of the arms which they may turn against ourselves on the first emergency, and on the most trivial pretexts. " Quis custodiet ipsos custodes?" is a pertinent In another part of this day's impression will be interrogatory.

ELECTION COMMITTEES. —(This Day.) MAYO. The committee met this morning at the usual hour in Committee room, No. 2 ; Mr. Scholefield in the chair. The room was inconveniendy crowded, in conequence of the announcement that Archbishop M'Hale would be examined. The first witness examined rya , Sir Richard O'Donnell. In answer to questions from Mr. James, he stated that be resided in the county of Mayo, He was deputy lieutenant of the county, and in the alvence of Lord Lucan, the Lord Lieutenant, in the Crimea, he acted for him. He was cbairman of Colonel Higgins's com mittee, and canvassed for him from the 17th March to the 16 h April. Colonel Higgins appeared to have the support of the resident gentry, Roman Catholic and Protestant, with the exception of two. The committee commenced canvassing in Ballinagh, but the excitement became so great that the canvas had to be discontinued, and Colonel Higgins had to remain closetted in his hotel two days. He left the town on the second day. Col. Higgins had attempted to canvas, but when he got into the street he was surrounded by a crowd led on by two priests and a parish clerk, who denounced Col. Higgins as a coward and a traitor. The two priests were with the clerk, and the people were so greatly excited that the colonel was compelled to leave without can vasi,ing the district. In the borough of 'irewanny Colonel Higgins's committee obtained the promises of 140 voters before the excitement commenced, who nevertheless voted for him, including the clergymen of the Church of England and the dissenting clergy. On the 21st Marco the committee commenced canvassing Castlebar, which contained between 40 and 50 voters. Witness canvas-ed them and obtained 25 promises for Colonel Higgins. The whole of them voted for Colonel Higgins, and the others against him On Sunday 22d March, witness went to New. port, and on the 23d he returned with Colonel Higgins to Ballinagb, but they were unable to get into the town owing to the excitement that prevailed. They afterwards went to Ballycross, where they found a platform erected and upon it a crowd of people, amongst whom were 7 or 8 priests. One was Xr. Giercht, another Mr. O'Dowd, and a third Mr. Scully. The priests told the pe , ple that Colonel Higgins was a traitor, and called upon them in the name of their religion to vote for Mr. Moore. Col. Higgins attempted to speak, but the priests signalled to the mob and they refused to hear him. On a subsequent day they went to a place called Balleyskreen, when the candidates were to address the electors, but the mob was headed by a priest on horseback, and owing to his influence, Col. Higgins was refused a hearing. The mob attacked Col. Higgins' committee and his supporters, several of whom got broken heads, and the excitement increasing witness drew the attention of the Sheriff to the conduct of Priest Curling. On the following day the nomination took place, and the same priest, who always carried a large whip, was very active in urging the peo ple to hiss and hoot Colonel Higgins. Wit ness knew Mr. ill'Evoy, a Roman Catholic priest at Newport, brother to Bishop M'Evoy. On the Sunday before the day of election witness heard him haranguing the people against Col. Higgins. Ano ther priest named Ryan was also there distributing whisky to the mob. He poured it out of a large jug he had in his hand, and he called upon the people to vote for Mr. Moore. The mob, after drinking the whisky, became very much excited, and they had to be dispersed by the police. Witness attended the polling-booths on the days of election, and saw Ryan bring up voters. Previous to the election he saw placards posted in the town stat ng that a meeting of the clergy of the dioceses of Tuam had been held, and that the meeting bad come to the determination to oppose Colonel Higgins, because he had been guilty a o l f s a o v st i a o t la e t d io t n ha o t f e h v is er m y o p s a t r s is o h le p m r n ies p t le w d Lion to secure the r e t urn o f M r. M oore, an d to oust C o l . g o e u e l . d be T p h u e t p in iae m er o d . Higgins, and that it would be his duty to his flock to see that no elector voted for the colonel. The sam3 Con9any's steamer Calcutta, Captain Blackmoor, arrived here this morning, from Ant werp, and sails on Saturday for Lisbon and the Brazils. By Mr. Karslake—Witness saw the placard in front of Armstrong's hotel, where Mr. Moore's committe sat. He saw it there at least a week before the day of nomi nation. He knew Mr. Moore's committee met there daily. There was another placard on the front of the hotel with the words " Hurrah for Moore and Palmer." He did not think the words " Committee room" were on the placard. Mr. Griffin recalled—Proved that Mr. Armstrong told him it was Mr. Morris's committee-room, and there was a placard outside stating it was Moore and Palmer's committee-room. Mr. Karslake contended that the evidence was in sufficient to connect Mr. Moore with the publication of the placard in question to make him responsible for the consequences. Sir Richard O'Donnell, examined by Mr:James—The placard was on the wall when Mr. Moore addressed the electors from the window of the 'lntel, bathe did not think he could have seen it. He saw no other but priests bring up Mr. Moore's voters to the poll. He neither saw nor hesra of any regular legal agent being engaged in that way for Mr. Moore. He saw seven or eight priests so engaged. 404 votes remained appalled in the whole county. 1,041 voted for Col. Higgins. Mr. Moore's majority over Col. Higgins was 128. Be. tween 1,230 and 1,250 promised to vote for the colonel, and from the best information he calculated on a large majority in favour of Colonel Higgins, In Castlebar 25 promised Colonel Higgins, but after the disturbance the voters fell back, and only five or six voted for him. After the riots he found generally that the voters would not vote for Colonel Higgins, and he knew of one or two instances where the parties in consequence voted for Mr. Moore. Examined by Mr. Karslake—lle could not say how many voters personally promised him; he had frequently known voters promise him, and afterwards break their promise. Witness canvassed Lord Lucan's tenants. He was unable to say if Lord Lucan after that declared in favour of Mr. Moore. He believed nearly all the witnesses he canvassed in Castlebar were Lord Lucan's tenants. There is often excitement amongst Irishmen at election times. The different speakers in. terested in the respective candidates made strong re• marks on the conduct of each other. CAMBRIDGE.

Prince Napobon will leave, it is said, for Eng land on the 3d or sth inst. Count de Mo'ny arrived at the residence of the Presidency of tie Corps Legislatif this morning. It is expected that his Excellency will join the Emperor at Plonbieres. General Cavaisnac is now officially announced in the Simle, as also M. Emile 011ivier, and M. Da rimon, as candidates of the Opposition in the third, fourth, and seventh districts of Paris for the second elections, which vill be held on Sunday and Mon day next. The Government. nominees are the same as before—MM. Thibaut, Varin, and Lan quetier, Marshal Vaillart, the Minister of War, has just received from the Governor-General of Algeria a report from General de Montabau, commanding the division of Oran, giving an account of the ope rations accomplished during part of the month of June by the light colu►rns which had been charged to repress the incursions of the hoAtile wandering tribes of the South-Wed. The following are the principal points touched on : "After detailing at some length the force of the different columns which had been organised for this service, the line of march pointed out to them and other details, the report goes on to state that on the 15th June Commandant Bachelier, after making a forced march by night, came suddenly on the Donors of several tribes who had assembled tegether. The Arabs at first attempted to make a resistance, but were soon after put to flight with the loss of 20 killed and about 30 wounded. The French troops also gained possession of 30,000 sheep and 400 camels. The total loss of the French was four men wounded and five horses killed. Commandant Bachelier, after putting his booty in a place of safety, effected a junction with the column of Lieut.- Col. Niqueux. On the 17th an ostrich-hunter an nounced to the commanding officer the presence of a large caravan from Morocco, near Ogbat-el-Aricha. A force of 200 cavalry werc sent in that direction, and they soon came up with the caravan, which was under the direction of the Marabout El-Hadj-Mustepha-Ben. Taieb. It was composed of 101 men, 11 women, and 134 camels loaded with different kinds of merchandise. Among the latter were 230 kilogrammes of powder, which was purchased by the French goums in order that it might not get into the possession of the hostile tribes, and the caravan was then allowed to proceed, as the officer in command of the French detachment did not consider lie had any right to detain it, On the 19th Capt. Colomb, who commanded another of the columns, came up with the Ouled Djerirs, another of the rebel tribes, when a rather sharp engagement took place, but the enemy were compelled to tak e t o fli g ht, abandon ing 5,000 sheep, 125 camels, 61 mules, and a consid er . able booty o f d i ff erent kinds. Five Arabs were killed, and it is supposed several were wounded. The French bad two killed, and six wounded. On the 24th, another caravan, this time belonging to hostile tribes, was fallen in with, also coming from Morocco ; 105 camels laden with barley were seized and proved a welcome supply to the goums. The report concludes by stating that the columns, having thus effected with complete success the object for which they had been organised, returned to their respective quarters."

ELECTIONS. - Pallas, June 30.—The second elections for the Paris districts where the candidates had not ob tained the absolute majority will take place on Sun day next, the sth of July. It is very probable that General Cavaignac will again present himself to the electors, though his determination is not, as have his frie n d s . Th ey th i nk the ex yet, irrevocably fixed. H e h as h es i tated a good deal, and so peritnent that has already b een ma d e is sufficient for present purposes, and th a t it wou ld not b e pru dent to risk a second trial, Where every means will be employed against him, and where failure would be a far greaeer check than in the provinces. In official regions his defeat is spoken of as certain ; whether it is really thought so is ano th er question, but some of his supporters sp ea k o f i t with doubt. It is all but certain that neither he nor his colleagues will take the oaths to the Empe ror; they will content themselves with this evidence of their existence as a parry, and they may not go further even in the way of manifestation. M. Goudchaux was from the beginning indisposed to come forward, and he yielded with some diffi culty to the entreaties of his friend s . H owever lightly the Government may affect t o s p ea k o f th e success of the Opposition candidates in the capital, it is certain that it views it with much disatisfac tion. The Emperor who had constantly been told that the working classes were for him to a man, is disappointed with those on whose attachment lie counted, and irritated with those whose timidity or whose s ycophancy led hi m i nto error. It is not, then, true that the vote of the adverse districts is a mutter of such complete indifference as the Minis terial organs would lead us to suppose. Previous to the elections those organsdirected all their eloquence against the Opposition candidates, and urged in strong language the importance of rejecting th em ; a n d f rom the importance which they attached to the results it was clear that the success of General Cavaig n ac and his fellow-candidates w as l oo k e d upon as a check of a very serious ch arac t er i n d ee d . Their fears probab:y exaggerated that eveat, but the att, m pt now made to diminish it deceives no one. On the other hand, the Republica ns , at least the Mo d era t e portion of them, feet much elated at the success, however partial, they have obtained in Paris and elsewhere, and, if we are to. believe them, th a t success has surp sssed th e i r expecta tions. I t w ill no l onger h e asserted, they say, that thei r , party has ceased to exist, that i t h as passed f rom the memory o f man, that it has yielded to desp a i r, or that, f rom a consc i ousness of utter helplessne ss , it has tallied to the new regime. It is true th at in Paris, w hi c h public 'pinion, or pre judice if you will has long regarded as th e c:mtre of political life in France, the Government has obtained 110,000 votes; but it is equally true that in the s ame city, under the eye of the Go vernment, a n d w i t hin the grasp o f it s agency, the R epu b licans, disheartened and disorgauisd as they were thought, have found from 96,000 to 98,000 voices in their favour. The men who h ive come forward to dispute the victory with the Go vernment are severa l of them known to E urope ; they h ave rendered good service in their day, and they are conv i nced that i n case o f any great emer gency it i s cesses of Paris w ou l d look as their safeguard against the ex to them that even the bourgeoisi e o f - 4 Socialis m It is as well, they say, th a t the e names should come now and then before th e public. S uc h is the reason i ng o f the party • they form perhaps an exaggerated estimate of the feel in their favour, hut it is certain that such is th e i r estimate. On the question of the Republican can didates taking their scats in the Legislative Body, I believe that were they more numerous, 15 or 20 for instance, th e y would arrange the matter with their c onsciences and submit to the prelimin ar y order of th e oath. They are, however, as yet too few to make it worth their while to do so ; they will Probabl y content themselves with what th e y . have done, an d wait fur anot h er and a better occa sion. • HER MAJESTY'S SECOND VISIT TO THE ART TREA SURER EXHIBITION Her Majesty left Woreley Hall, the seat 4 the Earl of Ellesmere, yesterday morning, about tel o'clock, and made her second and final vi s it to the A r t T reasures Exhibition, at Old.

WAREHAM. This committee was occupied deliberating on this report. LIVERPOOL, Wednesday. —The Liverpool, New York, and Philadelphia Steamship anupany's screwsteamer, City of Washington, left the Mersey to-day, for New York direct, wail a large number of passengers (among whom were Mr, and Mrs. Hermann Veziri), a mail, and a very large cargo of merchandise. ALARMING FIRE —Yesterday morning, about three o'clock, the inhabitants of Lisson-street, Lisson-grove, were greatly alarmed, in consequence of a fire breaking out in the premises belonging to Mr, Williams, a bread and biscuit baker, carrying on business in the before mentioned thoroughfare. The fire extended so rapidly that the inmates had great difficulty in effecting a safe retreat. In a very brief period several engines attended and a good supply of water having been procured, the firemen were enabled to subdue the flame., hut not un til they had passed completely through the building. Fertnnately the sufferer was insured. ROYAL BOTANIC SOClETY.—Another exhibition of this society took place yesterday in their grounds in the Regent's Pitak. The plants and fruit were considered sufficiently beautiful to deserve various prizes, consisting of gold and silver medals+, which were awarded to the successful exhibitors. The day was unfavourable, but the company was rather numerous, and included the tx Queen of France, the Duke de Muntpeaster, and several members of the Engli,h aristo cracy , ATTEMPTED SDIOIDE.—A man named Davis, upwards of 50 years of age, was charg,d this morning at the Southwark Police-court with attempting to commit suicide by cutting his throat. The wife of the prisoner said she thought his mind was affected. He was re manded in order that he might undergo a medical exa mination.

G. A, Hamilton, M.P. Tits IVIAGAZINES. Blackwood. —A second instalment of Sir E. Bulwer- Lytten's new serial r °malice is, of c the chief at raetion in the July number r,f Black wood. " What will he do with it 1" We don't know in the least. We can't, for the life of us, even conjecture. But we are quite-certain of thi-i, that whatever he may do with it, the work recount ing the manner of his doing it, and how it al came ab nit [" It" remaining the while a very Riddle of the Sphinx to our itnagivation !]—.the story itself will be wonderfully well worih reading if it be only continued and completed precisely in the same spirit in which it has been comrm-nced. Part Two is plenteously sprinkl, d with good things. We were chinned with its predtc,sor. We are delighted with it still more —for the sparkle and the glow are here respectively yet more roseate and effervescent. It —at any rate we know this much of " it"—does not by any means signify merely the 3/. advanced for some mysterious purpose (known only to the recipient, to "Gentleman Waif e ") by V ance the Painter. " It" is by no means so restrict , d in application. " It" im)lies already iii the tale hefor'e us—besides the 31. appertaining to William Waif-, the "chance" in life of Lionel Haughton—aud gives promise of proving yet more strangely comprehem-ive. For —saith our author at the close of Part ii.—" as the reader advances in this history, he will ac knowledge that there are few questions in this world so frequently agitated, to which the solution is more important to each puzzled mortal, than that upon which starts every sage's discovery, every novelist's plot that which applies to MAN'S LIFE, from its sleep in the cradle WHAT WILL HE DO WITH IT ?' " That is the "key" to the Mystery the " clue" through the Labyrinth of this new chapter of the " History of Human Error"—now appearing fragment by frag ment, not froni the accumuiated lore of dear old Austin Caxton, but from the animated and, so to speak, pictorial manuscript of the ever-young, the bright-eyed, the warm-hearted, and large-minded Piststratus I Let us not, however, pride ourselves about a narrative from which wemay so readily cull so much genuine poetry of thought and feeling in the way of illustrative quotation. Take the follow ing for example. How thoroughly Bulwerian in sentiment are these quaint, and pathetic med.ita.- tions, full of tender and graceful conceits—born from the mystic union of Physics and Metaphysics ! "Alas, and alas ! when we think of the lips which murmured, ' Soon meet again,' and remember how, in heart, soul, and thought, we stood for ever divided the one from the other, when, once more face to face, we each inly exclaimed,--' Met again I' " The air that we breathe makes the medium through which sound is conveyed • be the inst rumen t unc h ange i , he the force which is applied to it the same, still, the air that thou seest not, the air to thy ear gives the music. "Ring a bell underneath an exhausted receiver, thou wilt scarce hear the sound ; give the bell due vibration by free air in warm daylight, or sink it down to the heart of the ocean, where the air, all compressed, fills the vessel around it, and the chime heard afar, start, thy soul, checks thy footstep,—unto deep calls the deep. —a voice from the ocean is borne to thy soul. "Where, then, the change, when thou sayest, ' Lo, the same metal—why so faint-heard the ringing ?" Ask the air that thou seest not, or above thee in sk%, or below thee in ocean. Art thou sure that the bell, so faint-heard, is not struck underneath an exhausted receiver I" As a contrast, let us here immediately afterwards excerpt the characteristic rebuff administered by Merle the cobbler to his thin gaunt servant of all work, pompously called by him hii housekeeper. Vance has painted an exquisite portrait of Sophy, otherwise Julietta Araminta : "Said the gaunt servant-of-all-work to Mr. Merle— ' I'd let the gentleman paint me, if he likes it—shall I tell him, master ?"' " Go back to the bacon, foolish woman. Why, he gave 3/. for her likeness 'cause of Benefice ! But you'd nave to give him three years' wages afore he'd look you straight in the face, 'cause you see, your Aspects are crooked. And,' added the Cobbler, philosophising, When the Malefics are dead against a girl's mug, man is so constituted by natur that he can't take to that mug unless it has a gold handle. Don't trot, 'tie not your fault; born under Scorpio —coarse-limbed—dull com plexion—and the Head of the Dragon, aspected of, In fortunes in all your Angles."' An incident suggested by this incongruous vanity ou the part of Merle's ungainly handmaiden, is recounted by our author a little later on, and will he found to be full of fun and irresistibly provoca tive of laughter. How admirable in another way are the reflections uttered upon the Prince of Orange—that Orange shrewd, and sour, and harsh, and (to ourselves nut less than to Piistratus ton) in every way unpalatable 1 It is where Pisis tratus speaks of— “Dutch William of the immortal memory, whom we try so hard to like, and, In spite of the great Whig historian, that Titian of English prose, can only frigidly respect. Hard task for us Britons to like a Dutchman who dethrones his father, and drinks schnaps. Pre judice certainly; but so it is. Harder still to like Dutch William's unfilial Frau! Like Queen Mary! I could as soon like Queen G uteri! ? Romance flies from the prosperous phlegmatic Aueas ; flies from hts plump Lavinia, his 'fidus Achates,' Bvn tinck, flies to follow the poor deserted fugitive Stuart, with all his sins upon his head,” These are sentiments, however, it must be remem bered, not unfamiliar to Sir Bulwer Lytton. The pulses of his imagination still throb (rna,) be un wittingly to himself) with the " life of his life"— and the earnest soul of the Poet gleami out of - eu through the casual. glance of the Novelist. He likens the daugLter of James here anew to Gon-ril —he who in "The New Timon" chaunted that thrilling couplet— " And England's Goneril smiled to bear The shunts that echoed o'er her crownlesq Lear !" He muses here, too, over the probability of his new hero, Lionel, being admitted ultimately " within the gates of the golden Carmel"—he who has sung the glories of that Historical Fairyland so nobly in the most amb tious, and the one only national, epic of our generation ! It is inter esting to trace thus in the most varied and prolific writer of his day—those rare and most ex ceptional sciutillas (as we may venture to call them, fir they are nothing more) of reproduction. Not repetition, observe, but "reproduction." Besides Part ii. of Sir Edward Lytton s novel, Maga has for July six other contributions—a couple of them "continuations," one of "New Seaside Studies" upon the shores of the " Scilly Isles," the other of "Scenes of Clerical Life," relating in this in stance, to "Janet's Repentance." There is one "political" in the number having reference to the obi moot problem the " Repiesentation of the Colonies." The three remaining articles are at once Critical and Biograohical—one n-lating to " Charles Vie Fifth"—anotiter to " Currer Bell" another to " Sir Charles Napier"—the Sir Charles Napier—terrible to his enemies, whether wielding the Sword, the Pen, or the Broomstick! Dublin University.—The present number pos sesses various subjects of interest. "The Partners," by Shirley Brooks, is continued in two chapters. As the plot is developed the story becomes excit ing, the different characters are sketched off in a vigorous and striking style, and on the whole the readers of the Dub/in, may expect a sale of a supe rior class. "John Twiller" is concluded, and in a very satisfactory manner, as it may be said of this extraordinary individual that, " his brightest moments were his last" or at least the last here recorded, for he put aside many of the absurd fancies and prejudices that bad before nuLtated against his weliduing, and g:.i.ve promise with better forum) of aws r and happier life. It is curious enough that we also meet with the final chapter of ic M r . .IE-op Smith," a quaint producton that has for some time past appeared, and which has doubt less been agreeable to some. Two articles deserv ing of attention are those whi3h refer to two dis tinguished writers of the present day. The first is entitled "Genius of the Rev. Charles Kingsley," aild completes the survey before commenced of his works. The general opinion expressed is a favour able one. "It is a pleasure to write on these works —the contact with so h e althf u l a m i n d i mparts healthiness." The second paper is on Mr. Thorn bury, and discusses his two recent works, which have met with great success, "Art and Nature," and " Shakspeare's Efiglarri." The Writer's idea may be gathered from the following pasi,acre " We esteem him as a man of great promise , and pos sessed of all the qualifi cat i ons to make him ;to * author o w u h r o c s o h u a ny. ll t ;ak e He a asgenius, sp,laleeaerningint, taste,heliteature of g p r e e r a c t ep g t t e e , faculty,but there an i d s aaa quick more liveY x fa c n e c lre:3t coveted, patient enduring, persevering i n oustry—both giftall these are yet to be h th a e corrosesvaenrdshtahlel achievecrow❑n greatness. of reeaveryesls.iterary man that ever We think we see evidence of a laborious spirit about Mr. Thornbury.

If a cheering word from us were needed, we would glee Mr. Thornbury the cheeriest that our heart could suggest. Vc e prefer to tell him to he self-reliant and 11 , ,oeful, and so we bid him God speed." Currer Bell's "Professor" draws our attention to th,t g if(.eii writer, who- e carter has of late been sa promiu. ntly brought betore the public. It ren ders full justice to her merits in discu4sing her works. "Tue Death of Jacob" is a poem to which an " accessit" was awarded at Oxford. It is coin_ posed by the Rev. W. Alexaiider, M A., and , s superior productoo. It bears evidences of classic,' att Lin:vents and theological researches, and some of the verses are admirably arr.triged. " Curiosi_ ties of the English Language" is an account of the derivation of our language, which may te accept sable to some students.

The second paper is mire in eresting ;it i s a highly fivourable criticism, on Sir Francis Pah:rave's Hts-ory of Normandy and England. The critic remarks upon the interest of this and similar works of siandaid value, ar,d objets with sense and justice, to the plan, once so popular, of abridg". lug histiries. 'those readers who haVe not already' made acivaintance wi h this instructive and intd' resting work will probably be induced - by this criti' cism to make amends for the delay.
