THE WATERLOO-BRIDGE MURDER. The police aro still actively engaged in searching for anything that may throw a light up nn this mysterious affair. It has just been ascertained that about four weeks ago a man of gentlemanly appearance, about 5 feet 7 inches in height, and with dark hair and whiskers, called at the Prince of Wales, in Upper Kennington-lane, Lambeth, and asked for a bed. On finding that he could not have one, he asked and received permission to leave his bag and coat, which the landlady states corresponded exact!y with those nom exhibited at the Bow-street station. He then went away, and the landlady, who watched him, saw him proceed iu the direction of Vaux hall in company with a female resembling the one de scribed by the toll-liaeper at Wa . .erloo-bridge. It has been further ascertained that the man then called at the George and Dragon, Vauxhall, asked for a bed, and on being informed that he could not have one, went away with the woman as before, He then reterned to the Prince of Wales and received his bag and coat, leaving sixpence in payment. From the description given of ' the woman at these houses the police have hopes of ap• prehending her before very long. The inquest will be resumed this afternoon, when Professor Taylor's report, which has been in the hands of the authorities for some days past, will be made 'labile. The result of his examination is looked forward to with great interest ; more especially as certain state ments end opinions, said to be those of the professor's, relative to his examination of the remains, have been circulated without any foundation or authority on his in our o ci f r a cu r m at e h ta e n r, os i s t in s latecpoarn beli eved, e ec d tA i o nfu n enw . we t ixt o hhpo g .euc i r v tthisse e d tw7i mysterious ; d tal n o 7 c oai document disclose fl a°a:l?:oev intend, referred to in extenso, as well as the fresh evidence the police are said to be prepared to lay bifare the jury.

Now, however, a wor k in which pictures play an essential part is just published. It comprises more than a dozen varieties of a l a dy's costume the mantle, the bonnet, and the robe ; and all the delicate nuances of tint from black (which ma y or may n ,, t come under the category of " mourn iog") to the via et hues, silver-grey, and white. The d e signs are by a Parsiati artkt, and are accompanied by exact descriptionp, and a list of prices. The work (wherein some pleasant literary sketches are introduced) rxhibits apparel - 41y a reflt x of the stock in the show rooms of Messrs. Jay and Co., of the London General A o cruing Warehouse, 247, Regent-street, and is entitled .. J a y's Manual of Fashion." As an autumnal and winter guide to tile fashionable world it is attractive, and snore especially so, as the publication is a gratuitous one, and may be had on application. LITERA TITRE. ..1 .. 2 ~ 3 Two Years' Cruise off Terra del Fuego, the Falkland Islands, &c. By W. Parker Snow, late Commander of the mission yacht Allen Gardiner. 2 vols. Longman. The author of this book is one who has visited many parts of the globe, and experienced many vi cissitudes, and his narrative must therefore be looked upon as the record of a traveller and naval commander of some standing, and consequently not liable to errors of ignorance or prejudice. Among other voyages he formed one in the expedition of the Prince Albert to the Arctic regions in search of Sir John Franklin, and his present undertaking led him to the vicinity of the opposite pole. Interest of various kinds appertains to the narrative before us—as a description of a place and people little known—as the record of an adventurous cruise, and as the account of the proceedings and successes of the mission recently established in those parts. Captain Snow appears to have been animated by a strong desire for the success and establishment of the mission, and in consequence offered himself for the difficult and unprofitable office of captain tothe mission yacht. This mission was first established by the late Captain Allen Gardiner, whO devoted him self to its furtherance. He went out himself with six companions to establish a mission station, and, dreadful to relate, they were all starved to death in Spaniard's Harbour, Terra del Fuego ' in the autumn of 1851. This catastrophe Captain Snow asserts to have been mainly brought about by the want of common precautions, and, judging from the accounts he gives of the general proceedings, such rashness is not incredible. After the lamented death of Captain Gardiner and his companions, a society was established, subscriptions collected, and a schooner built and called the "Allen Gardiner," to be despatched to establish a station on one of the Falkland Islands, and if possible civilise and instruct the neighbouring Patagonians. The plans adopted, and the want of method or management, are severely censured by the author, who appears, if his statements are authentic, to have been placed in a very trying position, without any definite instructions or friend:', and finally, sud denly dismissed from the ship, without any official reason. Allowing for personal feeling in the nar rative, there appears to have been serious mis management ; and, if another mission is con templated, it would be advisable to conduct it in a more business-like manner, with some more definite object in view. The plan of enticing native children away from their homes, to educate them, is open to many objections, and likely to effect little good. Captain Snow, in his appendix, has some sensible remarks on the sub ject of missions, and the necessary qualifications for a missionary. He appears to have a deep inte rest in the subject ; indeed he would scarcely have undertaken such an arduous task without it, but he is possessed of sound sense as well as of earnest piety, and adopts for his motto the following ex cellent maxim, " Faith in God's promise ought not to snpersede, but to encourage our diligence in the use of proper moans. We do not trust God, but tempt Him, if our expectations slacken our endea e yours." His officers and crew were by no means of his opinion, and disobedience and disrespect of orders were frequent, though the commander seems to be authoritative enough when necessary. Ho was fre quently told that being a " mission ship" there was no danger, and similar reasoning, while it was not easy to manage men who plainly gave their opinio of their own superiority. During their stay at Terra dcl Fuego they visited the graves of their un fortunate predecessors ; and as Captain Soow stood on the fatal spot ho resolved that no want of com mon prudence should induce him to tempt Previ deuce, or provoke a similar fate : "The night was now nearly calm. A few heavy gusts of wind occasionally rushed down the hills and made the vessel tighten her chains ; but in all else there was quiet, except in the booming noise made by the surf, as it dashed upon the shores where those poor men perished. As I leant over the bulwarks, and turned my face towards Earnest Cove, nom a dark mass of trees and rock, with aivhite strip of sandy beach front, I could in fancy see the dying missionaries, their skeleton ferns and totteringsteps, vainly' prowling about for shellfish, or aught that would serve them as fo d. £here they were as plainly evident to my mind's eye as though I bad known them in life, and been personally present with them. I was as if fascinated 1 Tue whole story of their sufferings again came visi.ily before me; and I returned to my had I there and then mate a vow that, come what might, I never would, by any ▪ .1 :2 .. 3 participation on my part, tacit or otherwise, aslow this mission to starve others in a similar way. That I have kept my vow, and to my cost, is too painfully proved at the present moment, even while I am writing ; for every effort that malignity and detectel wroag cut devise to injure and oppress me is being resorted t ) by those -Odom I refused to' assist and ceunteeance in pi•oce , :el logs that would eintoit certainly have brole,lit about another case, not far unlike that of Captain Girdinei's. 13st whatever I may suffer, I rejoice that I was firm in resisting such inrane doings ; anti the vim . I registerei in Spaniard's Harbour, abreast of those starved msu'e graves, I have kept unbroken." The proceedings here alluded to were those of hire of the party—the surgeon and catechist, who, after differing from the rest of the party, insisted on re maining on a desert island by themselves, causing Captain Snow great anxety. The details of these I affairs, however, are better learned from the author's I pages. Many years ago, when similar efforts w er e being made to civilise the Fuegians, three of them wore brought to England and instructed. They were then sent back to their native place, hoping they might improve their companions. This, as the writer remarks, was of little use, unless followed up, and a year after, when the place was visite !, it was found that one of them had robbed the other and left the place, while "Jemmy Button," as the most intelligent had been called, had nearly sub sided into original habits. He still retained a know ledge of English. One of the objects set before the anther in It's recent voyage was to discover this Jemmy Button, and to his surprise he did so, and found that he had not forgotten. all his English, though twenty-three years had elapsed_ Little else remained to distinguish him from the other savages, and there was little chance. Indeed, it seems almost a cruelty to have introduced this poor youth to civilised life, only to return him to his native wilds and companions. But though ex pressing himself with gratitude, and saying that everything in " Inglish conntree" was vary good," he strongly objected to any proposal for removing him or his children from their native spot. 'rids was repeated front all the aborigines with whom the author conversed, and thereupon he thus ex presses his opinions : s d e anti t th n the adults, everyad P ul t G e, I pb y yr o f r ap o ne m yr mp one leaann so, and n adj a 0 1 u l l . es ri yn, Y g e t t h et results e e s u reverse ts o f p r h a a c s . :t e younger branches, but a d ec id e d an d pos i t i ve negat i ve whh a t that they do n o t been stated!

Evil must not be doiie that good may perchance, and only perchance, come. Tire English colonies of the west were helped into existence by labourers imported from Africa, by men who spoke of good things to come ; and the colony of Kappa Island is also as openly avowed to be aided by imported natives, who, under the plea of being taught the useful arts of civilization, & e., will be made to serve in looking after the cattle, and doing other labour, Let the useful arts, however, be taught them in their own homes; not where a doubt of its straightforwardness can be raised. Let them see that we really have their good at heart by going to their homesteads (and wretched though they be, they are homesteads with evidently strong family affection s around them), rather than by our dragging them a w ay , and thus appearingly to want only to make them slaves. For what else can they consider it, if they find them selves doing strange work for us in our land, while they are not able to get back to their homes at their own will, Savages they may be; degraded, miserable, wretched beings t But they have hearts as well as we ; and their way of thinking may not be the same as ours on the question. Let us then go to them ; not inveigle them to us." The writer himself, supported by other authority, asserts that one sailing vessel is not safe on such a mission in these parts, and advises that should a vessel be sent among the natives alone, it should he a steam vessel, as a sailing vessel is naturally dependent on the wind, and liable to be boarded by native canoes. No accident, however, befel any of the ship's company, owing, probably, to the captain's judicious arrangements. The details of life at Stanley, in the Falkland Islands, are not very attractive ; the evils inseparable from a limited society and circle of interests are very prevalent. Our author expresses himself strongly on this point, and maintains that the absence of all means of rational amusement is a fruitful source of evil. Human nature imperatively requires" some source of excitement and interest, and in most cases con trives to obtain it, though under very opposite forms. Those who are most severe in its censure, will seek it themselves, though perhaps uncon sciously, in their devotion to their business, or, in more strictly disposed persons, in the excitement of a May meeting on the interest of a mission to the Patagonians. The universal demand for men tal recreation, and its moral as well as physical effect , clearly prove that it should be encouraged instead of crushed, provided, always that it is rationally and moilerately direeted. Various causes continued to render the writer's stay at Stanley Harbour disagreeable, and these circumstances way have tinged his impressions, but his picture is not inviting. His narrative is plain and straight forward. As regards his private wrongs, it is of course impossible to judge • but from the manner in which th e y are stated, ;he sympathies of the reader will generally be on his side in his arduous and responsible position. Regarded as a book of travels, it offers us but little definite information, as he saw but little cf the natives. The nautical and meteorological observations may very possibly be of service to those navigating that difficult and dangerous coast. The charts and coloured plates afford a good idea of the various localities. In his preface the author commends his work to the indul gence of the public from the circumstances under which it was written, and his own want of practice in literature. This work will no doubt effect the object intended, by calling public attention to them) regions and our connection with them, and it is therefore not impossible that some lasting g oo d may be effected by this narrative of " Life in the Southern Seas." English Style. By G. F. Graham, author of Eng lish ; or, the Art of Composition, &c. Long mans. This book may be of esential service to the stu dent; it contains a clear statement of the rules to be observed by those who would attain to a correct style in speaking and writing, also a summary of the errors to be avoided, but which are of such con stant recurrence in everyday life. It is chiefly in tended forithe higher classes in schools and colleges, and it has every appeiranca of being particularly qualified for such scholars. An historical sketch of the English language is appended which is in structive and interesting. The following remarks prove the progression and extension of the Saxon tongue, and confirm the poet's assertion " It kindles realms se far apart, That while its praise we sing, These may be clad in autumn fruits And those in flowers of spring." " The extraordinary extension of his language should be to every Englishman a subject of natural and honourable pride. No language, either in ancient or modern times, has ever been so widely spread as English. If we compare the extent of territory over which the ancient Latin was spoken with that in which English now predominates, we shall be struck with the difference ; and when we remem ber that neither India nor America was known to the Romans, we shall easily seehow much more widely diffused is the modern English than was the ancient Latin lan guage. In modern times, French, at one period, had a considerable preponderance in Europe, and it is still very generally studio 1, and even spoken, on the Continent. But on the whole the preponderance is now greatly on the side of English. It is spoken throughout England, Tales, Scotland, Ireland, and the Isle of Man (though in all these places there are still some scanty remains of Celtic dialects) —and in the United States, in Canada, Australia, and all the English colonies and dependencies, it is now the prevailing language." The Poems of Francis Hingeston. E litecl by his Son. Longman. This is a volume of pleasing and unpretending poems by the late Mr. Hingeston, of Cornwall, whose verses were much admired by his friends and neighbours, and whose son has, therefore, thought it desirable they should be presented to the pubic in a more enduring form than in serials and scrap books. They deserve this cAre, as there is much graceful melody and pathos in them ; and if the author makes no ambitious flights, he spares his readers that straining aftar effect so common in modern posts. He says of himself in one of his letters, "You know that I have never followed the muse in her high flights; that I possess but a feeble wing and weak voice, and that .all my glory has been to flutter for a mqinent upon a sunbeam, to sigh to the wild winds of my native hills, or to twine a sitnphs garland. of field flowers for some of those sweet children of Nature to whom alone my lowly vongs have owed their inspiration." The poems have appeared in various local pa,p6rs, and some of them have been introduced in Mr. Pol whole's "Biographical Sketches of Cornwall ;" but they have now an opportunity of being more widely circulated, and and tolerably secure from severe criticism, .inasmuch as the "simple garland of field flowers" is DOW a wreath of immortelles over the author's tomb. The Private Life of an Eastern King. By W., Knighton, author of " Fort:st Life in Ceylon." New Editi.m. Routledge. A. uew and cheap edition of this work, which ap pearei SODT3 two years ago, has now been issued, and from the presnit state of Eastern affairs, will no doubt have a large circulation. It is not in appropri Lte to the time, as it is compiled from the expe fitnces of a member of the household of the late King of Oude, Nussir-u-deeu. The facts contained in it were related to Mr. Knil s htou, during a,rt dental acquaintance, and as he was struck with' heir novelty he proposed to the " member of the household" that a book should be made of them He was quite willing, but objected that his name should be put to them, and they have consequently appeared under the auth,rity of their accomplished editor. Tile great de9ire now prevalent to know som•t'iing of the interior of that Eastern life of which we have unfortunately been so ignorint, will itoz,t probably ensure an extended circle of readers to this work in its present form. Russell's HistorJ of Modern Europe Epitomised. Routledge. - - This is an extremely useful summary of general European history, well suited to convey a general knowledge of the subject, or to serve as a work of reference'. It 'is the more unimportant parts that have be , _ , n abridged, while the gnat events of mo dern times are described at length, thus not de priviir,' the work of the interest seldom found in abbrevia• ions or epitomes. The volume is large, and contains a large amount of reading, which will repay the industrious, student by affording him a general knowledge of European history from the rise of the modern kingdoms to the Peace of Paris. A compendious index enables the reader to refer readily to auy page or incident. Walter Colyton. By Horace Smith. Father itustace. By Mrs. Trollope. Knight and Son, Clerkonwell-close. Reprints of these two well-known works have just been published by Messrs. Knight, each com plete in one handsome volume. They are each the story of a particular class or epoch, the first being an historical tale of 1688, and the second a tale of the Jesuits. The former topic is certainly the most suitable,. as controversial novels are seldom pro ductive of much beriefil - . However, they both display the various abilities of their authors ; and are handsomely bound in cloth and well printed. The Comprehensive History of England. Parts 3 and 4. Blackic and Son, Edinburgh , and London. This is a work that is very extended in its character, as its name implies, and as far as can bo judged at this early period, it seems to merit encomium and encouragement. It professes to be civil, religious, intellectual, military, and social, and, commencing with the Conquest, will come down to the present day. It is illustrated by nume rous woodcuts, and written in a clear and simple style, and from its fullness and comprehensive na ture it is far more interesting, as well as likely to make an impression on the reader's memory, than a more succinct or abbreviated history. It comes down, at the end of the fourth part, to the reign of John, after recounting the romantic exploits of Coeur de Lion in au interesting manner. We trust it will proceed in the same style. Stones of the Valley. By the Rev. W. S. Symonds, F.G. S., Author of " Old Stones." Bentley. An instructive little book on geology, by one qualified to give an iutroduction to this interesting science. It relates chiefly to his own neighbour hood of Gloucestershire, and describes the discove ries made there. It is not very elaborate in its terms or definitions, and will not be formidable to those who know nothing of the science, while it may possibly suggest some new ideas to those fam - - liar with it. We trust it will meet the encourage ment that every work that renders science simple and popular merits. The Old Bachelor in the Scottish Village. By Thomas Aird. : Blackwood. --- This is a second edition of this little work, re vised and enlarged, forming a very pleasant volume of country gossip, of sketches of 'Scottish villa ge life and manners, not unmixed with kindly satire on his neighbours, and frequently enlivened by a little domestic story or love aiventnre. It i s a very agreeable and entertaining collection of anec dote and reflection, and will serve to pass a l e i sure hour very pleasantly. The Westminster Review. John. Chapman. A very sensible article ou the folly and extra vagance of .present fashions o p ens t hi s num b er of the Westm i nster. It is called " Female Dress in 1857," and very severely, though justly, does it attack and censure the general mania in this re spect. It m a y seem a trifling subject, unworthy of serious reproof, but when it is considered what i misery wilful and unpr i nc i p l e d extravagance t, this respect may cause to a whole family, and tp_ o ft circle of unp a id t ra d esmen , i t w ill assume a cll . lent aspect. It co nc l u d e s . by quoting . entire the. clever American satire just published, called r " Nothing to Welr." An article on Captain Osborne's " Quedah" gives a pleasant summary of his work and numerous extracts. The recent vo lume of the "ldistory o f Ci v ili za ti on i n E ng l an d" i s brought under consideration-, and its weighty topics treated with depth and earnestness. Mrs. Brown ing's " Aurora Leigh" rteeives an encouraging and discriminating criticism. " The Your Empires" is a polttical article on the much-vexed " Eastern Question," and the consequences of the Russian war. Two papers pn " 2Eschylus" and " Morn sen's" Roman history offer attractions to the studious, while articles on " RepresentAtive Go vernment," and " The Progress of English Jurik prudence" are suited to the more practical reader. BOROUGH OP i3OI)IIEIN.:7POLITICAL DEMONSTRATION. On Thursday the 17th instant, the Reformers of Bodmin assembled • and proceeded (according to announcement,) to Carmiuow Cross, about a mile to the east of the town t I meet their worthy repre sentative, Mr. Wyld, whom they received with the most enthusiastic welcome. After the usual salu tation, and a few introductory remarks from Mr. Wyld on the occasion of the meeting, a friend de sired him to leave the carriage in which himself, Mrs. Wyld, and Miss Wyld, had come from Lis keard, that he might be brought into the town in a ioaoh drawn by twenty volunteer tradesmen of the borough ; but he declined, and replied as follows : My dear fellow-men—your kind offer reminds me , f the barbarous ages, when nobles held serfs or slaves who vied with each other in doing their master's bidding, but these barbarous cuetoms are now passed away before the light of Christiauity, and every man in these realms stands on the saute footing ; and though, perhaps, Providence may have kindly favoured me with property beyond a great many of you, I. am nothing more than a. man, and shall shortly stand with you before the great tribunal of Him who knoweth the hearts of all men. He was 'about to add another sentiment, but the cheers and enthusiasm of the townsmen were so great that he was unable to proceed, and he became zo overwhelmed with emotion that tears gashed. from his eyes, and he sat down amid the dinning shouts of the multitude. Mr. William Serjeant then rose from his carriage, and addressing Mrs. Wyld and Miss Wyld, stated that they (the in habitants) had come to welcome them to the borough and to their hearths, and he hoped they would that day receive such hearty hospitality from the inhabitants of the parliamentary ,borough of Bodmin, as would engrave the name of Bodrnin for ever on their memory. He then addressed the gentlemen present, and shortly after the procession proceeded towards the town, preceded by bands of music, banners, flags, (to. After passing through a considerable part of the town, Mr. Wyld re turned to his private lodgings, Mayoralty House, until half-past three, when he visited come ~t her places in the town, and entering the Market House (which was beautifully decorated with flowers, evergreens, &e.,) sat down to tea with Mrs. Wyld, Miss Wyld, and about four thou s and inhabitants of the borough and neighbour hood, including ladies. Visitors continuing to a t tin admission to the tea until near seven o'clock, it was thought advisab!e to hold the public meet- iog on the Mount Folly, and accordiugly. Mr. Wyld, after making an apology for the absence of his worthy colleague (the Hou. Capt. Vivian), ad dressed the audience at considerable length on the lis'.urbarices in India and China, the Divorce Bill, tile Reform Bill, Vote by Ballot, and other politi cal matters which have come before the House of Cvmmons during the last session of Parliament. At ,he cloie of his address the front of the Market House was illuminated with gas burners arranged iii the form of the letters which compose the words " Welcome Vivian and Wyld." The musicians then promenaded the town, - .in which everything tsstified joy and gladnoss, and it was said the only thing absent from the town was a "sad counten aice.". The display of fireworks, under the super intendence of Professor Lawrence, then called the Attention of the people, and gave general satisfa,c -' ion, the closing motto being "Success to Bod win." During the continuance of the last motto, V)e bands play, d the national anthem, " God save the Q ueen, ' which added greatly to the.effect of the scene and solemnity of the occasion. The crowd, which was computed to be upwards of ten thou sand persons, toen dispers'ed, and in less than two hours pbe town was perfectly tranquil. No angry or iniple.isant feeling was . manifested throughout the day, and the chief Illagistfat3 Ills been heard to remark that such an occasion he could never befora rememb3r,' he and his fellow magistrates and the ,:instables throughout the borough having had no tling to do.—Ou the following day the poor from the Union Workhouse were regaled with tea and c tke in the II irket-house, and from the expressions • f thaafulness manifested by many who had been op rested with a kail of misfortune, it was evident they were happy, and seemed to glow with emotion at the kind attention paid to them.—West Briton. THE NEW AussroN TO CENTRAL AMERICA SIR W. GORE OUSELEY. In ou.it last we intimated that her Majesty's Government, were about to send a special Minister to Wallington, with a view to an understanding :pith Mr. _Buchanan and his Cabinet as to a basis of liolicy to bo pursued by the Unites States and (treat Britain towards Honduras, Nicaragua Guatemala, & c ., so as finally to dispos e o f th ose ' irritating and profitless diplomatic entanglements kl.own as the Central American Question. We had reason, we added, to believe that the individual (i.le.Aed was one veto would be found peculiarly suited to the daze, both from his professional ante cedents, his knowle lie of the Spanish-Americ sit character, and his personal acceptability to the President of the United States. It will be seen that on Friday last, at Windsor, audience was given by tlieQueen to Sir W. Gera Ouseley, K.C.8., who received his eredi.!utials as spe;dal Minister to Central America. This nomination is most credi table to her najesty's Government, and is some what of -an innovation on the rule that has hither obtained in such selection?. Not only is Sir William not of the political following of those now in power, .but he had ben recalled from his mis ion in the River Plate by Lord Pal merston, when Foreign Secretary,. having been sent thither by Lord Aberdeen, as also to the Court of Brazil ; but such was the sense entertained of his services alike to the commercial and political inte rests of England in South America, where events in regard to Rosas, the opening of the Parana and its affluents to the trade of the world, &c., entirely justified the course he - had recommended years ba fore, that one of the earliest acts of the Derby Ad ministration was to bestow upon him the Order of the Bath. It will be recollected, moreover, that Lord Malmesbury was particularly proud of the mission to Paraguay in 1851 by the late Sir C. Hotham (being, in fact, only a resumption of the work Sir William Ouseley had employed that la mented officer upon in 1845), and that Lord Cla rendon, on succeeding to the foreign seals, was at first disposed to make light of what his predecessor attached so much importance to in such respect. Both Lords Palmerston and Clarendon, therefore, have shown themselves superior to personal consi deration in choosing Sir W. Ouseley for the present undertaking, his fitness for which has alone weighed with them. Sprung of a family remarkable for its eminence in the diplomatic service, it is now some 30 years since he entered the profession as attache to Sir R. Adair's mission, at Washington,where he married a daughter of Mr. Van Ness, then late governor of the State of Vermont, and previously United States Envoy Fxtraordinary at the Court of Ma4rid. Until his return from South America, as already stated, Sir William was constantly em ployed, always with success, as we trust will be the case on this occasion ; for there could hardly be a greater boon the cause of civilisa tion than removal of the only exietegag impedi ment to complete cordiality between two na tions having so many motives for co-opera- Von and so few for dissent as Great Britain and the United States. We believe the strongest desire in this sknse animates the rulers of each country, and a better proof of it could not be given than the mission now being out. Our Minister, we understand, will he tprouc:epdr,obitaibtihye, tfiersttweinesetaatnscoei to Washington, and the several Governments of Central America where, speaking the l anguage, the local usage s , h e w il l doubtrsci understanding s beab able tod much more for the promotion of the objects con templated than would be possible through sub ordinate agents, or by any amount of correspond ence. Accompanied, we believe, by Lady Ouseley, he will sail by the Arabia on Saturday next front Liverpool, and will, we understand, be entertained. the previous day here by Mr. William Brown, M.P., who, both as chairman of the Honduras' Interoceanic Railway and of tbeAtlanticiTtyesl,ueagraitvaabpilili Company, as well as in his prira f t a e ll ca o pa h a er capacity, whatever of this, as he invariably does of occasions, to evince his icable relationship of the An 1 Sg o- axon. b te e n tw ds ee t n o tb th e e t w p o r g er ea o t tio b n: n ot r a e e e m race.—Livepool course of A HEAVY ES SEONSIBILITY.—In the re turn of death for the past q uarter there is one of a mal e aged 76, w ho one of the Westmin -4 years l inmate see ou nine years he assumed. t h e responsibility of becoming sponsor to upwards of 1,000 coildren born in the workhouse, wayte f or w o r o ma ny e Y s. e and for the service of becoming godfather he was, upon each occasion, re warded by the pariah authorities with a pint of porter.]
