CITY, Two o'Ceocir. Accounts from Liverpool state that the Cotton Market yesterday closed firmly, and prices were at a slight improvement The sales amounted to 10,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken by the exporters, and 2,000 by the speculators. The Rail- Way Share Market closed with a dull appearance, and there was a slight decline in prices. In consequence of the limited demand for silver on Eastern account the price of that metal tends downwards, and the dollars brought by the last West India steamer have been sold at a decline of id. per ounce, viz., ss. Old. The supplies ex pected from Mexico, it is presumed, will be almost sufficient to provide the amounts required for the bi-monthly mails to India and China, and in that case purchases on the Continent will not be resumed, at all events to an extent that would absorb the greater portion of the Australian remittances. As these shipments amount to upwards of a million sterling, a large addition to the Bank's stock of the precious metals is anticipated within a short time, especially as the Wind is now favourable. A farther sum of 24,0001. in Australian gold, forming part of the receipts by the Etna, was sold to the authorities yesterday, and some of the American supply may be similarly aPPropriated. The inquiry for discount accommodation in Lombard -street, and at the Bank of England, is quieter, and instances are recorded where bills have been negociated at a fraction below the Bank's minimum, but in most cases the full terms are still exacted: As usual, at this season of the year, the commercial requirements are less extensive, and un less speculation creates an increased demand, a alight improvement is considered probable. The Mincing-lane markets have opened with a very firm appearnoe, most of the principal articles being maintained at full prices. During the week, however, the public sales will not be verynumerous. Business in the English Stock market is rather circumscribed, but it is only natural that a pause should succeed the recent excitement. The rise in prices has been important, and although the general prospects of the money market may be more encouraging the funds are still very high, considering] the present value of ca pital. The 1 Bank broker has bought 40,0001. of Exchequer Bills this morning, which tem porarily, strengthened the market, but the quo tations are not firmer. Consols for transfer were and 03y:4, while for account they have been about 941. At present they are 93/ 94 and 941 for money and the 4th proximo respectively. The March Exchequer Bills are par to 3s. pre mium ; the June ditto, 2s. discount to par, and the Bonds 98 /.

In the Foreign Market the transactions have been very limited. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 93i 1; and the 4 per Cents., 1001. Spanish New De ferred have been 25i ; and Portuguese 3 per Cents., 53a .

Leasing onipanies Closial Prices yesterday. Business this day OLD COURT. (81 7 ELECT.2,IO TELEGI?APII.) CLEVELAND HANDICAP. Polestar was scratched at 11.30 a.m. (Before the .Recorder.) William Wyddron, labourer, was indicted for felo niously assaulting and robbing Charles Jackson of a watch and 1/. 7s. 6d. Thomas Gee, a boy 12 years old, said on the 3d of April, between 6 and 7 o'clock in the evsning, ho was in the middle of Cumberland-street, near King's Head court, and he there saw Mr. Jackson, the pris - mer, and another man with a white jacket. The prisoner and the other man were holding up the prosecutor, who was drunk. He saw the prisoner take a purse from him, and the other man took his watch. They then placed him np against the wall ; one held him by the throat while the other searched him. The prisoner then walked away, and he (witness) followed him for some distance, and saw him count the money from the purse. Mr. Jackson appeared to be insensible. The prosecutor, Charles Jackson, said on the sth of April he went into a public-house, and saw the prisoner and another man. He had some beer, of which the pri soner and his friend partook. They had three pots of porter between them, and after he had drank some of the potter he became insensible, and did not recover himself until he was in the station-house. He the❑ found himself minus his watch and money. He was sure the prisoner at the bar was the man he drank the beer with. SP. ORTING INTELLIGEBCE. TATTERS A.LL'S-YESTERDAY. THE CHESTER CUP SETTLING. People were naturally anxious about the settling, and vague rumours were circulated relative to the hit and missing. The sinister report', however, which were current in sporting circles were either greatly exag gerated or had very little foundation on truth. One gentleman, with whose name rumour had been very busy, was amongst the first to put in an appearanct and answered the calls which were made upon him with that promptitude and boneqy which have distin guished him throughout his turf career. The principal winners on the cup are Mr. F. Swindells, Mr. Spittle, Mr. F. Higgins, and one or two others. Mr. F. Higgins, the owner of Leamington, wins about 5,0001. in bets, and it is calculated that the party net, in the sggrerate, between 50,0001. and 60,0001. Toe lion's share gees to Mr. F. Swindells, whose account on paper looked very f rtnidable, but "the true joy is when the money comes," and the absence of some and the neglect of others to 'send in their accounts caused a very large balance to stand over on the debit side. The contem plated advertieing of the names of the persona indebted, atter the style of the forfeit list in the Sheet Calendar will doubtless have the effect of inducing the tardy settlers to display a little more activity in closing their aceounte. Altogether, the Chester Cup settling may be pronounced satisfactory. The most important incident in the Derby betting was the advance of Saunterer to 100 to 7. Psis horse had been freely backed in the City during the morning at 25 to 1. At one time 8 and 9 to 1 were taken about M.D., but at the close 10 to 1 was currently offered. Anton was backed for several hundred pounds at the odds quoted. Tourna ment, against whom 1,000 to 10 had been laid at the Turf Club on Saturday night, when Kent bad been backed against him for 2,0001. was supported at 25 and 30 to 1, whilst 2,1100 to 10 was betted twice against Kent, and a " tenner " even was laid against his running ! 2000 to 60 was taken twice about Adamas, and several smaller sums were invested in him at the same rate of odds. Sprig of Shillelagh figured at price] between 25 to 1 and 30 to 1; sso to 25 each was laid in one bet against Saunterer, Adamas, and Sprig of Shillelagh. The subjoined list of quotations will indicate the nature and extent of the business traneacted Another witness, a wort rnan in the employ of the pro secutor, cufirtned his evidence. He said he did not recover from the effects of the porter until half-past 11 o'clock at night, about four hours after drinking it. Evidence was called on the part of the prisoner to show that the prosecutor and the other witness had been drinking ale and spirits during the day, and that they were mistaken in their identity. The Jury found the prisoner guilty, and the Court sentenced him to nine months' imprisonment.

John Maberry, a respectably dressed young man, was indicted for stealing 500 pairs of boots, the property of his employer, Mr. Isemberg. Mr. Bodkin appeared for the prosecution and Mr. Bodkin for the defence. Mr. Bodkin said the charge against the prfsoner was one of great impor Lance. Oa the 27th of March, 1856, the prisoner was entrusted with six cases of boots to convey six cases containing 526 pairs of hoots, of the value of 1901., to convey to the St. Katherine's Dock for ship ment to Australia. The goods were not delivered at the dock until a day after the prisoner had received them, and on their arrival at Adelaide it was discovered that the boots had been taken out and rubbish substituted. From the evidence he should place before them it would be for the jury to say whether the prisoner was the per son who, in conjunction with others, stole the goods. Frederick Fuller, a porter, in the employ of Mr. Isemberg, 21, Leadenhall-street, said—On the 26th of March be packed six cases with 526 pairs of boots to be shipped on board the Marianna for Australia. On the 27th of March the packages were given into the care of the prisoner to convey to the St. Katharine's Docks, and an entry appeared in the parcel book on the 29th, stating they had been received by the dock company. John Nicholson said—He was in the employ of the prosecutors on the 27th of March, 1856. On that day six cases of boots were delivered to the prisoner who was the son of a carter occasionally employed by Mr. Isemberg, for the purpose of being con veyed to the St. Katherine's Dock. It was about one o'clock in the day when the goods were put into the oart from the warehouse. In cross-examination the witness said it was about 12 months after the transaction that he became acquainted with the loss of the property, and Mr. Isemberg called upon him as he had quitted his service to ask him whether he recollected delivering the goods to the prisoner. He told him he would find the name of the person who had received the goods in the parcel book. Mr. Isenberg, the prosecutor, said he remembered rending six cases of boots to St. Katharine's Docks, for Adelaide. They were sent from his premises on the 27th of March, and the prisoner Maberry was the person who took the goods away. There were no other goods in the cart when the six cases were put in. The cases were the ordinary ones cased with oil-cloth, canvas, and tar- pauling. Cross-examined by Mr. Giffard.—He perfectly recol_ lected the goods being packed, and the coverings being put on. They were marked at each end. First heard of the loss of the goods in question about two months and a half ago. He could positively swear that on the 27th of March there was nothing else in the cart when the six cases of boots were put into it. Benjamin Hadfield, an officer of St. Katherine's-dock, said he received a shipping note and six packages from a carman on the 28th of March. After he had indorsed the note he put it on the file in the office. Mr. Isemberg was recalled, and, in answer to Mr. Bodkin, said the shipping note produced was the one given to the prisoner. Mr. Mumford, superintendent of tie Dock Company, said the spot where the goods to be shipped on board were lying wag well watche I by the police. Thomas Cox, mate of the Marianna, was present when the ship was unloaded at Adelade. He witnessed the opening of three packages. They were filled with soot and rubbish. The marks on the oases corresponded with those described by the prosecutor. Re examined by Mr. Giffard—The packages were opened in Mr. Collin's house at Port• Adelaide about a quarter an hour after they were taken from the ship. A witness was next called who distinctly swore that the prisoner was present when a quantity of boots were privately sold in a court in the neighbourhood of Tower hill. He also admitted, in cross-Examination, that he (witness) had been discharged from the employment of Mr. Moses, of Tower-hill, for dishonesty ; and the reason be bad given the information that he had done to pro secutors was because he had been defrauded out of some money. _ _ The case was proceeding when our reporter left. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) UTTERING COUNTERFEIT COlN,—John Thori3as and Antonio Lazaro, two East IndianQ, were indioted for stealing a basket, and also for uttering counterfeit coin. From the evidence it appeared that the prisoners, on the 27th of April, entered the Swan with Two Necks at Finchley, and called for a pot of beer, and gave a six pence in payment for the same. The coin turned out a counterfeit, but the prisoners having the appearance of being in great want, the beer was given to them, and they left the house. They had proceeded but a short distance from the Swan with• Two Necks when they entered another public house, the Bald-faced Stag, on Finchley-Common, and there Thomas called for a pint of porter and tendered a counterfeit shilling in payment. On being questioned by tbo landlord they said they had had the shilling given to them by a man in Barnet, they thought it was a good one or they would not have attempted to pass it. Their wretched appearance again operated i❑ their favour, and the landlord of this public-house said he gave them back the shilling in order that they might get it changed by the man from whom they had stated they had received it. On leaving the "Bald Faced Stag" a policeman, who had been watching them, took then into custody. Thomas had often been in custody for uttering counterfeit coin, but he had always escaped a conviction ; the other prisoner Lazaro was unknown to the police. In answer to the charge both prisoners said they were foreigners and did not know good money from bad. The jury found both the prisoners guilty, and the Com mon Sergeant sentenced Thomas to four months, and Lazaro to three months' imprisonment, withhard labour EQUALIZATION OF THE POOR-RATES. —A writer in a contemporary says :—" Having for many years advo cated a revision of the Poor Laws, and especially a chango in the mode of assessing the poor-rate, I am very glad to find that the subject is now being discussed in the metropolis. I fear, however, that the proposition to equa'ize the poor-rates throughout the metropolitan dis trict will frighten "the West-end," and that so exten sive a scheme will meet with great opposition. While I think union rating most desirable for England and Wales, I venture to suggest tbat the metropolis m i g ht be divided into three districts, corresponding as nearly as the existing unions will permit with the postal subdivi sions, as follows : First District. Second District. Third District. N.W. N. W. N.E. S. W., in Middlesex E.C. W.C. E. S. E. S. W., Surrey. The Pays announces that Gen.

Mr. Thackeray lectured to a numerous University audience at the Town-ball, Oxford, on Friday evening last, on " George the Third." Upon the co nc l us i on o f his lecture he was loudly applauded. Mr. Th ac k e ray was originally announced to lecture on "George the Fourth." TRADESMEN'S FOUR-OARED RACE. The members of the Arundel Unity Aquatic Club opened their season yesterday with one of the most spirited four-oared races that has taken place among tradesmen for some time. The course was from the Put ney New Bridge to Chiswick-pier, and with the follow ing result : Messrs. W. Pullen, C. G. Rogers, G. Butler, G. Tumble, and C. Gardner, coxswain (Yellow) 1 Messrs. W. Scott, J. Smith, R. Hart, F. Dyer, and F. Mahon, coxswain (White) 2 Messrs. F. Patterson, J. Lyall, J. Troupe, W. Law rence, rud W. Morris ' coxswain (Green) 3 Messrs. T. M ason , J. W. Smith, W. Weal, J. C. Waller, and J. Chapman, coxswain (Blue) 4 Messrs. R. /Weal', A. Edge, W. Jones, J. Male, and J. Isaacs, coxswain (Red) 5 The start was a capital one, and they were all away together. At the Star and Garter, Yellow, White, and Green pulled out from the others, Blue cioiely following them, Red soon falling astern. The three leading boats were so close that no difference could Us seen between them for some time, then Yellow had a lead of about a quarter of a length, and in this position they remained to within 200 yards of Hammersmith-bridge, at which point the winners drew themselves clear. The struggle between Green and White was very severe to the finisb, where Yellow won by a lengtl3, l White being half a length ahead of Green. RAILWAY INTELLIGENCE. GRAND TRUNK RAILWAY OF CANADA. The second reading of the bill to dispense with go vernmett directors in the Grand Trunk Railway, and facilitate the completion of th e com p an y' s , wor k s from Riviera du Loup to Sarnia, was moved in the Legislative Assembly of Canada, on the 24th uit., by the Hon. Mr. Cayley. Mr. BROWN said that a pamphlet containing certain information as to the affairs of the company had just been circulated. It it was important that the members should possess themselves of the fasts in that pamphlet be hoped the debate would not be forced on now, when time had not been allowed for looking into it. The Hon. Mr. CAYLRY said that, in accordance with his promise given at the first reading of the bill he bad thrown all the information he could obtain into the form of a pamphlet, to be laid befora the house. It was usual to produce such facts in the course of debate, but, that they might be clearly understood, he bad put them in the form of a printed memorandum, but certainly not with the view of having the discussion postponed for four or five days. _ _ _ After a brief discussion the Government forbore to press the second reading, which was adjourned to the 28th of April. There is little doubt that the bill will pass : we find several organs of the opposition 'admitting that the Government is much stronger than it was last session. The Toronto Globe says that Governor Head will visit England at the close of the Parliamentary session. WEST FLANDERS., Yesterday, at one o'clock the twenty-third yearly general meeting of the above company was held at the offices of the company, 61, Moorgate-street. There was a numerous attendance of shareholders. The President, Mr. William,P. Richards, occupied the chair. The chairman read the report, which exhibited an in crease of receipts over the corresponding half year on the old line of 8651. 13s. lid. ; and on the guaranteed line, which during that period had been extended nine miles, of 1,1211. ss. 2d. It was necessary to bear in mind that on the latter, especially on the Thielt branch, little time had as yet been allowed for the development of its traffic. The receipts of all the lines from let July to 31st December amounted to 20,2741. 19s. 4d., and the total expenditure to 14,416/. 3s. 10J., which left a balance of 5, 358/. 15s. 6d, This balance, being added to that of the last year, as well as to other sums, and deductions being made for the first charges on the undertaking, in addition to other items, left an available balance of 5,0241. ls. 7d., and would al low a dividend of 3s. 6d. per share, carrying forward a balance of 2411. 12s. 2d. to the next account. That dividend it was proposed to declare at the meeting of the company at Bruges, on the 16th of May, and the pay ment would be made at the offices of the company in London and Bruges, on and after the 26th May, upon the return of the directors and secretary from B&lgium. It was further stated, that in pursuance of the resolution of the general meeting of the 17th May, 1855, the directors had continued to apply the interest on 540 preference shares, bought in by them on behalf of the company, in the purchase and redemption of the company's original shares, of which they possessed 235, in addition to 40 shares that bad been purchased in anticipation of the payments to be received during the present month. The expenditure still continued below 2001. per mile for the half-year. The report was unanimously adopted, and a dividend of 3s. 6d. per share declared. Madame Enderssohn's Musicale Matines takes place on the 20th instant, on which occasion Madame Clara Schumann makes her second appearance this season. We have no doubt that a fashionable attendance will prove their appreciation of Madame Enderssohn's high position as an artiste. A. letter from Berlin states that Prince Napoleon is to leave that city on the 13th, and return by way of Dres den and Munich. The Prince prop uses to be in Paris by the time of the arrival of the King of Bavaria. THE TELEGRAPH IN AllSTRALlA.—Arrangements are making in Australia for establishing a telegraphic com munication between Melbourne and Adelaide. When this communication is extended to King George's Sound, and the telegraph is established between England and Aden, news will reach Australia in 22 days. THE LUNDHILL COLLIERY ComasioN.—The number of bodies recovered up to the present time is 89, or nearly ope-half of those known to be in the pit at the time of the explosion. FINE ARTS.—The select gallery of English pictures of Messrs. Lloyd Brothers, late of Ludgate-hill, is to be brought to the hammer on Thursday next, at Messrs. Foster's sale rooms, in Pall-mall. It is almost a pity to find a collection which boasts of one work at least of most of the first masters thus dispersed under the ruth less hand of the auctioneer, but a dissolution of partner ship which will give London two firms in art of th e came name instead of one, renders the sale imperativ e. The sale is looked forward to with some interest, as the enormous prices which the works of the English masters are now fetching has created quite a furor amongst col lectors; and the spirit of competition was fortunately for English painters, never more rife. A splendid assortment of water colour drawings will share a similar fate on the same day, and from the crowded state of the rooms, when we left them , thi s morning, this favourite class of pictorial art will share its meed of patrurage from the loyera of pictorial excellence. STRIKE OF O.3INIBUS SERVANTS. Some excitelient was created yesterday in the north-western and western districts of the metro polis by the parading to and fro during the day of from 200 to 300 rough-looking men—half -ostler and half-cad—who declared themselves to be the ser vants of the London General Omnibus Company "on strike," and have been going about to the stables of the company in the different district establishments, calling upon their brethren to join with them in throwing themselves out of work. The omnibuses of the company are 600 in number, and, every omnibus having 10 horses, each vehicle is placed separately under the care of a horsekeeper. whose business it is to deliver them over in good order every morning to the driver and conductor. The class of men employed as horsekeepera are of course rough and uneducated, and the company found on purchasing the various "yards" and establishments that also, as a matter of course, they were receiving low wages, averaging from 16s. to 18s. weekly, while those wages were male up by a mutual agreement, which generally led to the extra sum paid by coachman and conductor to the horsekeeper being levied on the employer. Thus, as a bribe for " turning out the horses and omni buses smart" every morning, it had become a cus tom for the conductor or coachman to pay 6d. a day to the horsekeeper as gratuity. This sum, by mutual understanding, was too often "made up" from the earnings of the omnibus. In "yards" consisting of half-a-dozen men this custom might go on; but when the large system of the London General Omnibus Company, with 600 vehicles and 6,000 horses, comprehended also 2,000 persons con nected with them, order and discipline were neces sary ; and these were at once introduced, on the railway system, by Mr. Church, the secretary. Hence the " strike" of Sunday, which, though ex pected a fortnight since, nevertheless took the &s -trict surveyors and officers of the company by sur prise. Fortunately, the coachmen and conductors, whose livelihood and interests were perilled, took the matter into their own hands, and got out their own "busses" and harnessed their own cattle. Im mediate measures have been taken by the company to furnish themselves with new korsekeepers. The "strike," such as it is, has been hitherto confined to the St. John's-wood and Paddington districts ) where nearly 2,000 horses were suddenly left without attendants on Sunday morning. At an early hour yesterday morning the men assembled together and proceeded to other stables and yards, to those of Hammersmith especially, where, how ever, most of the men retused to join them, I Hitherto these men have conducted themselves peaceably, but the directors of the London General Omnibus Company have passed a resolution not to receive any of them into their employment again, it being necessary at once to put down a system of combination which might end some day, if encou raged, in leaving the metropolis totally without vehicle accommodation, as it will be remembered was the case during the recent strike of the cabs. THE FALL OF HOUSES IN TOTTENHAM- COURT-ROAD. FURTHER PARTICULARS. The excitement in Tottenham-court-road, on ac count of the melancholy and fatal catastrophe that took place on Saturday, continued unabated during the whole of yesterday morning. Thousands visited the spot. The body of the unfortunate G. Kevill, labourer, who was at work at the bottom of the walls, owing to the immense weight of debris with which he was covered, was not extricated until two o'clock on Sunday. The poor fellow was sadly mutilated and crushed, -and death must have been instantaneous. The body was conveyed to the dead-room of the University College Hospital, making the fifth body now waiting an inquest, viz., Frederick Byng (suffocated whilst in bed), Ann Driscoll (cook), Richard Turner (carpenter), George Garnett (carpenter), George Kevin. (labourer). Of the persons seriously injured there are only two now remaining in the hospital—Mr. Taylor, jun., deep lacerated contused wound on the inner and lower p'rt of the left groin, and contusion of the head. (At two o'clock yesterday hopes were enter tained of his ultimate recovery). George Eaton very much bruised, and contused wounds—going on favourably, and expected soon to recover. The other sufferers were able to leave the hospi tal on Saturday for their respective homes, although severely bruised. Wm. Ayrton, collar-bone out, reset ; James Beam, much shaken and bruised ; Reginald Rudd, extensive injuries, but not seri ous ' • and Horace Regnert, feet and legs injured and bruised ; George Bayley, various bruises and contusions ; William Beauchamp, bruised, and slightly cut ; Mrs. Christma., injury to legs ; Mary Daly, egs injured, and very much bruised about the back and loins. On Saturday Mr. Brent, the deputy-coroner, who was holding an inquest at the hospital, desired the jury to view the bodies, so that they might be empannelled and the bodies removed ; but it has ' since been considered necessary that the jury should be discharged, and, owing to the importance of the case, that a special jury should be summoned for Wednesday next, at 11 o'clock, in the board-room of the hospital. Mr. Wakley will preside. Mr. Maple's premises extend some distance down. to Tottenham-place, by adding to his establish ment the houses 1,2, and 3. By this means egress was obtained by those persons who were so fortu nate as to make their escape from the premises. The sufferers are attended constantly by Mr. Trevan, the house-surgeon, and Mr. W. Price Jones, the resident medical officer of the hospital. PARLIAMENTARY DIVISION. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—Mey 11. INDUSTRIAL SCHOOLS BILL.

Having raised subscriptions they purchased a block of granite, caused it to be fashioned into an obe lisk, and conveyed it to the cemetery of Schrimm. But the Government refused to allow it to be erected, and it remained lying on the ground in the cemetery. A few days ago it was found to have been set np, but the pre fect immediately caused it to be demolished, and a judi cial iuvestigatioa has been commenced to discover by whom it was raised." THE WAR AGAINST BUTTONS.-1:10w readily the needle has been surrendered by our fair relatives to the iron grasp of science may be instanced by the fact, that a home-made shirt is now as much a curiosity as was for merly that of one being made out of doors. The acknow ledged superiority, even by " the sisterhood of seam stresses," of those which, by the aid of machinery and inventive talent, now take the place of the old and gusset style, is universal ; but we can well anticipate their sur prise when they not only hear of, but actually see, a perfect shirt which has no buttons whatever, either in front or at the back, but which acquires an immediate set, and retains it by a simple fastening on the shoulder. Yet this has been done by Messrs. Welch and Marget son, who call their invention "The Approved," under tke patent law. 100 100 all 100 32i i 103 661 i 61 1011 2 111 1041 51 42i 3i 21 1011 U S ~ 100 51 26 13i 2U St. St. i ai no raTERATURE. A. Concise History of the English Constitution. By E Howley, Esq., of the Middle Templ e. Longman. In :brief and sensibly written preface to this volume, the author remarks, that though theworks on the English Constitution are numerous and ex cellent, all methods of treating the subject do, not appear to be exhausted. The present worle fully deserves its title of a concise history, as et is brief and clear in its sketches of the alteratirm s in the law, mid the political changes which have affected the constitution. One of the author's ob jects has been to omit unnecessary facts. In illus trating the advantages of judicious selection, he happily observes that though every shell on the sea-shore is perfect in itself and a marvel to the oareful observer, yet that persons in an ordinary station of life may do betterthan devote themselves to the study of concholoey. In like manner though every little incident may have been irn portAnt in its influence on the administration at certain periods, and though every pebble which. helped to raise the noble edifiCe of our constiti l e tion may not be without int-rest, the general reader will have neither the leisure nor the inclination to study a voluminous work. Those who wish to obtain a clear idea of our constieu- Canal history, the causes of its most important changes, and its gradual progress from the Norman invasion, cannot find a more valuable assistant than Mr. Howley's brief treatise. The author, hiving apparently little of the literary van it y w hi ch induces some writers to give their own opinions a prominent place in works of history, has confined himself to stating facts and to quoting the words of statesmen and great legal and philosophical authorities. In the preface he remarks :—" The author is also convinced that it is better to state the opinions and arguments of a Bacon or a Lord Mansfield, than indulge too much in original views, which would be without the support of an esta blished political reputation, and which, if not par ticularly striking, would be deemed worthless, in this ago of light literature, lectures, and encyclo paedias. With a more mature judgment and greater experience, the task of lengthy disquisi tions might be attempted. There is no desire to burden the communication of concise and elemen tary knowledge with speculations rather than facts. In a series of essays certain institutions and laws / of England are brought prominently forward, with a brief commentary for the display of their impor tance, symmetry, and simplicity. Nothing is ad mitted into those essays that has not a distinct reference to the English Constitution as defined at the outset." The work contains fourteen essays, some of them very brief, others of a considerably length. The subjects treated of are as follows : The Constitution—Sovereignty —The Feudal System— The English Law of Landed Property —Magna Charta—The Reign of Charles I. —Pet ition of Rights —Hampden's appeal against Ship-money—The Bill of Rights—The Act of Settlement—The Law of Treason—Parliamentary Supplies—The Libcrw of the Press—Political relations between England and her dependencies. It will be seen that this kook embraces all the most imnortant points in. our civil history. In the last of the series an in teresting review is taken of our connection with our colunial . dependencies. The origin and pro gress of the American revolution offers many im portant considerations to the attention of the poli tician, and the government of India is also a sub ject that demands wise and careful statesmanship. The following passage is from the concluding re marks, and affords a fair sample of the author's style. "Since the bill of A.D. 1853, the Cabinet Ministers have acknowledged a complete responsibility for Indian mi-government, and the president of the Board of Con trol makes an annual statement on the finances and general prospects of India. He points out how the Indian revenue amounts, each year, to about 20,000,0001., of which 2,000,000/. is d e f ra y e d i n Eng land. He observes, that the Indian army consists of 300,000 men, of whom one-sixth are Europeans. But what has England done for the Indian Empire ? He can allude to the prohibition of superstitious practices that shocked humanity. He may announce the eaten hien of education, and the scheme for establishing In dian universities. He may trace the railways and the electric telegraph, stretching further than the Ganges or the Indus. But when the outcry against taxation assails his ear, he can but lament that enormous land rents should prevent the cultivation of the soil, that a tax on salt should be injurious to a people existing on a vegetable diet, and that customs should be insignificant in the absence of an extensive trade. The innovations contained in each Indian Bill have grown from some previous changes, that at the time scarcely attracted notice. No sweeping theory has ever been adopted, and every alteration bears the impress of the practical and cautious mind of English statesmen. Their tem porising policy has governed India better than the native princes, and perhaps better than would have been pow- Bible with any theoretical constitution devised in the closet of a philosopher. This opinion is not shared it% by Mill, the great historian of India, who animadverts with some severity upon the manner in which England has held sway over her oriental possessions. The prin cipal difficulty is to find a body of Indian rulers whose motives for good or evil may be balanced by responsi bility to a judicial tribunal, the probability of public dis approbation, and the chance of removal. Most Euro pean governments control the courts of justice, and despise the reclamations of the people, but can be purified if they give sufficient play to the elective or representative system, which attunes the actions of sove reignty in harmony with the wishes of the community. The barbarous princes of India could realise none of those conditions. The advantage of English over illative rule arises from an English tribunal being able to cha.- tise the highest officials, from a superior race exercising the check of Parliamentary discussion, and from an in terested home government being ready to dismiss any public servant who is guilty of misconduct. The home administration of Indian affairs is a substitute for the impossibility of a local representative system. During the present century, a few Indian towns have begun to elect municipal officers, and a hopeful imagination calling to mind how Edward I. infused into the House of Commons the elective principle of borouebs, might picture some future Viceroy of India summoning a re presentative assembly from amongst the burgesses of Delhi and Caleata. Bet the habits of the Asiatics, and the small proportion of European residents, forbids this experiment of self-government, and therefore an English statesman must be satisfied to strengthen and develops the existing guarantees against Indian misrule. The supervision of Indian affairs ought to be placed in the hands of those Englishmen who are most interested in she welfare of India. According as the interest of the Court of Directors has lesseaed, the home government has been transferred to ministers whose desire to escape removal and responsibility has become at least equal to the pecuniary interest of the directors id the payment of dividends. The removal of the directors depends on the proprietors of Indian stock, whilst the removal of ministers rests with Parliament. The constitetency that can best fulfil the trust reposed in it should be preferred. Pecuniary motives made the proprietary constituency sanction heartless extortion. Let the parliamentary constituency prove that it is guided by honest emulation and sincere pnilanthropy. Without English rule, imperfect, how ever mperfect, India might not be open to English com e . coerce. The other dependencies that are not retained on account of strategical importance, or to serve as penal settlements, defray their own expenses, enjoy the greater portion of the local patronage, and govern them selves subject to the imperial restrictions that Parlia ment has placed on their legislatures. Misrule flees from them because tbey have, in the representative sys tem, Argus, with a hundred eyes, and in local govern ment, Briareus, with a hundred hands. As a skilful general would spread out his army to outflank an enemy, or would abandon a position that be could not hold la w safety, there is no reason why England sthonueldenneotuwhidtehrs draw from an untenable outpost ; but le pretence of concentrating her forces , we weaken to carry civilisation and liberal institutionsenhertpeo the r furthest ends of the earth." and concisely written his toryAs a carefully compiled library, and from its deficiency in the student's of the Constitution, this work supplies a, a work of reference. As relation of facts it will be ex tensively valuable a s brevity and simple the encouragement such it will, no doubt, obtain it merits.
