From the in formation already received, it seems to have been a mad and reckless attempt to create a disturb ance, for the mere sake of disturbance, with out the slightest hope of altering the govern ment, or effecting any change whatever. It seems strange that this " demonstration" should have tlken place in the only country in Italy that pos sesses a Constitutional Government, and where the people are in the enjoyment of real liberty. But it was not of the People. But few Genoese participated in the riot, It was chiefly got up by some emigres of disreputable character, who, not withstanding the precautions adopted by the au thorities, contrived to make their way to the scene of action. It certainly looks very like a matter instigated by the Police, not of Genoa, but of some neighbouring territory, who would greatly desire to expend some of the mauvais sujets in an insane contest, and who could also avail themselves of the argument that the attempt was not made where there were bona fide grounds of complaint, but in a free country, and under liberal institutions. The matter would be merely laughable were it not for the murder of a gallant soldier who bi-avely defended his post in Fort Diamante. His unfortunate death has cast a tragic aspect over the affair, and will probably lead to the exe cution of the actual murderer, and some, at least, of his associates. But for that, it might be treated with the ridicule it so eminently merits. The telegraphic wires communicating between Genoa and Turin were severed in the neighbour hood of Ronco. This was clearly with the view of preventing early information of the outrage. The Government had, however, previ ously been warned. They had known ten days before, that some attempt was to be made on the night of 29th-30th June, and were consequently on the alert. A portion of the troops were kept in barracks, to be in readiness for any effort that might be made. These troops were placed at the disposal of the civil authorities, and acted promptly and effectively in suppressing the tumult. When they patrolled the city, they found many groups assembled, whose appearance showed that they meant mischief. Many were arrested, and they were found to be arme d w ith d aggers and other offensive weapons. A movement had previously been made against Fort Spa rone. But there a battalion of Bersaalieri suprised and captured a large proportion of the assailants. Unfortunately, however, the party, about 50 in number, despatched against Fort Diarnante, had been more active in their move ments. They had either surprised or secured the co-operation of the sentry, and consequently were enabled to enter the fort without any alarm being given. The soldiers, too few to offer an effectual resistance, were locked up in a room ; but one of their number, a brave sergeant, who, single handed, defended the trust confided to his charge, was brutally murdered. The Fort was shortly afterwards re-captured, and its assailants taken. The actual murderer of the brave but unfortunate sergeant has, it is sad, been clearly iden tified. Many searches were subsequently made, and considerable quantities of arms and ammunition Reined and prisoners made. Some of the prisoners have confessed that they expected a simultaneous rising at Carrara, Flo rence, Bologna, and Naples. It looks, however, as if they were made the dupes of others, who misled them with false information, and induced them to embark in the dangerous enterprise in which they were engaged. There is nothing whatever to connect M. MAZZINI or any of the Italian refugees with the attempt. Indeed, we are convinced that the shaft was drawn from a very different quiver. Of course, the friends of despotism in all quarters will attempt to cast the onus of the abortive demons stration on those whom they hate for daring to cherish liberal sen ti men t s . M . MAZZINI, how ever, is not so great a fool as they wish to prove. He would calculate the chances of success more closely, and it is not in Piedmont that he woull make a beginning. There are too many favour able openings produced by misgovernment and oppression of the most intolerable character. He would not wish to bring the cause he has advo cated into disrepute, or to retard the progress of Italian independence. It would, however, just be the sort of thing for the Austrian or Neapolitan Police. They could avail themselves of it in many ways. It would tell considerably in their communications with the Representatives of France and England. The outbreak was not in Venice, or Milan, or Naples, but in Piedmont. Nothing could satisfy the malcon tent, and it would be perfectly useless to make concessions which would not be appreciated or deemed satisfactory. It could be made available in various modes, and the best use will doubt less be made of the materials. The refugees must not, however, be censured for proceedings pf which they were probably entirely ignorant, and which, if consulted, they would earnestly depre- I cate and denounce. After the suppression of the riot a num ber of strangers got on board the steamer Cagliari, bound for Sardinia and Tunis. When the coast was cleared, they rose against the cap tain and officers, and compelled them to steer for the coast of Sicily, where, it is said, some were killed, others captured, and that a few escaped to the Calabrian mountains, to share the miserable lot of the outlaws who have there found a place of refuge. This was the end of the tragi cal farce, from which it will be attempted to gather materials for heaping fresh vituperation y against th ose w h o are already more against than si nn i g , an d who have bear without being rendered liable 1 0 ous accusations or unfounded insinuations. We have adverted to the meanness of L or d ( JOHN RUSSELL in getting votes at the late election on the faith of "Brother CHARLES' " assurances at the Ward Meeting of "Brother JOHN'S" open ness to modification of his views on the Ballot , but we have not yet noticed his speech as it de serves. Its deserts, II e must own, are chiefly those of unabashed selkonfidenoo in flinging worn-out arguments in the teeth of the Liberal party. Lord PALMERSTON has, as usual, played his cards well. Every one knew which way he would vote, but he cleverly gets off with a "pair," amuses himself with the QUEEN and the pictures at Manchester, and leaves to his heavy colleague of the Exchequer the heavy task of speaking against popular demands. Sir G. C. LEWIS seems, indeed, always willing to be the PALMER STON scape-goat ; it is very good-natured of him, and we are sure the good-tempered Premier appreciates the service. Hardly, perhaps, did he expect that Lord JOHN RUSSELL also would give bim so nice a lift. The Rival Reform Bill maker—that he should come out with such a saucy oration against the one thing which the vast majority of Liberals demand, what could suit him better? He is now relieved from all fear of being supplanted by Lord JOHN. No one would think of the latter to settle the Chinese and Indian difficulties ; and assuredly no Reformer would now wish him to be the constructor of a new Reform Bill. Lord JOHN sets about his task of bearding the Liberals quite in orderly style—an exordium, three divisions, and a peroration. He acknow ledges that the Ballot Society has produced " con siderable impression upon a large portion of the public"—which at least looks as if a large portion of the public had either experienced or witnessed the bribery or intimidation, for the prevention of which, only, does any one wish for the ballot. His three heads of discourse are three assumptions which he attributes to the advocates of the ballot —the prevalence of intimidation, the indefeasible right of the 'voter to give his vote irrespective of the opinions of others, and that the Ballot is generally regarded with favour throughout the coun try. His peroration is, that he, the said Lord JOHN RUSSELL, will bow if Parliament makes him, but that while lie has a vote he will give it against the Ballot. Well, this is quite consistent. Lord JOHN sets his back against Church Rates and open voting►, and tells the Liberals that they shall never attack these main supports of the Crown and Constitution but through his body. In regard to his first point, Lord JOHN went through the history of the last thirty years, to show that the opinions of the constituencies were, on the whole, fairly represented, and that there fore the intimidation complained of did no sub stantial mischief. Of course, this was all merely Lord Jollies opinion, and might go for what it was worth, just as ours might do in totally dis senting from many of his.illustrations. But letting that pass, we scout the principle, that because on the average the result of virtuous and vicious votes might bring about the same result, we ought to be indifferent to the character of the voting. Surely, we are not to do evil that good may come ! If secret voting and bribed and intimi dated voting would elect the same members, we should still demand the mode by which each person should vote honestly. We believe Lord JOH.N'S illustrative statements, but we indignantly reprobate the base principle they are adduced to sustain. Next, as to his second argument—he protests that " the freeholder; leaseholders, and 101. house holders, ought not, in contradistinction to the other classes, to be counted infallible." Well, and who put the votes into these confessedly fallible hands 1' Did not my Lord JOHN RUSSELL take a most active part in doing it ? We are quite ready to let the other classes share in the representation. " No," but the Whig Lord would reply, "if you descend lower, you do not meet with adequate education and property to qualify forthe suffrage." We rejoin, " Then the excluded classes are less qualified to judge of a candidate and of public questions than those to whom you give the suf frage—if so, on what principle of common sense do you want to subject the selected voters to the judgment and influence of their inferiors—so much their inferiors that you will not give them a vote ?" Lord JOHN then gravely descants on the responsibility of the Crown, the Judges, the Ministry, and even of Lord ELLENBOROUGH himself —to public opinion, and the comments of the press—one would really think he had been rub bing up his 2BSCHINES against CTESIPHON--." you see," he says, like that orator, "every one is re sponsible, why not 101. householders " Yes, my lord, every magistrate and official at Athens was responsible, and ought to be so, to the voters— but the voters by ballot then were responsible to no one, for their votes, nor ought voters to be so here. They are the ultimate governing power of the country ; they ought to be, and they were selected by Lord JOHN, for their supposed com petency. If incompetent, then, throw the suffrage open to all. But, in truth, can any honest man have patience with the dishonest fiction of the elec tors being trustees for the non-electors. It is an impudent hoax to represent them as such, and LordJoßN knows it. The absurdities of the sup position are endless. Who is to punish the trustees if they fail of their duty ? Indeed, at half the contests in the kingdom they do fail of it, fur the non-electors vote at the hustings for the Liberal candidate, and the electors, under intimidation or bribery, go to the poll next day and return the Tory. Public opinion —the non-electors public public opi n i on , what do electors care, or dare to care f or i t? If these political outsiders are to have an op i n i on, why then give them straightforwardly a vote as its proper expres sion. As to the third point we can only say that the result of Lord JOHN'S observations and of ours differs—be speaks of the crowds he addressed in Landon--.why, had he promised to vote for the Ballot, if they held up their hands for it, will he deny that a majority of ten to one would have required him to do it ? Adverting to America, Lord JOHN RUSSELL took up Sir G. C. LEWIS'S representation that voting by Ballot there was open, not secret voting : that by the colour of the tickets and other devices, the dominant party found out by standing near the ballot-box, bow individuals voted—that secrecy was at best optional, and the votes well known—hence, that America is no precedent to the friends of secret voting. But curiously enough Lord JOHN asserts that there is more liberty here than in the United States. He asserts that the voting is practically open, then that they have less freedom than we have—a singular recommendation of open voting surely, that it gives us too little liberty, and Americans still less. The truth is, the dominant party in America uses the open Ballot for its own purposes, just as the dominant party uses the poll-book here, and the only legitimate inference is that both are wrong. That tyrant mobs, and tyrant landlords and the like, ought not know their neighbours' vote. It is quite plain that we must now put the screw on the Premier. He bag not committed himself by any foolish engagement never to vote with the people. ON& HUNDRED AND EIGHTY. NINE votes and TWENTY-FIVE pairs —can, if they will, compel a Minister to anything. The leaguo Triumvirate have nothing else now to do, and nothing they could better do, than to head the I outside movement for the Ballot. We confess We would no t give anything for a Reform Bill without it. A lowered qualification without the Cannot England hope to fight her own battles ? Or, rather, be it said, are we always to be sup posing ourselves to be dependent, in some myste rious way or another, upon the aid of foreign mercenaries ? Conspicuous upon the list of the Parliamentary business for the week now commenced, we observe the threat (we can't for the life of us call it any thing else) the threat for Thursday next of a Petition of Complaint from the Officers of the Swiss Legion—a document to be presented to the House of Lords on behalf of those malcontents by the extremely good-natured Earl of MALMESBITRY. It is always in regard to something relating to these kind of '4'ree Lances" that these grumblings and growlings after war-time become audible. Sometimes the dissatisfaction expressed has re ference to the outlandish auxiliaries themselves, sometimes to the gallant English gentlemen by w h om they are officered. But to one or other the expostulation s heard at these times, on the right hand and on the left, here, there, and everywhere, invariably have reference. And at the same time, as invariably—whenever the war ends, we look around us only to find in rela tion to these Foreign Mercenaries that they have never once been of the slightest use whatso ever ! That we have put ourselves to great trouble in gathering them together in the first instance, and afterwards still more in feeding them, and clothing them, and drilling them, and so forth, down to the very end of the Chapter ! Merely to find that our native forces actually engaged at the seat of war were left all the while to get through the struggle as they might best be enabled to manage it ! Our condottieri at home " eating their heads off," as the saying is— and never once, from the Declaration of War to the Final Ratification of the Treaty of Peace, firing one shot against the foe, drawing a single sword, or fixing a solittry bayonet ! We then set our wits to work to get rid of them as best we may—paying them their arrears —giving them compensation [" compensation" for what, however, it would be rather difficult certainly to conjecture !)—and grumbled at after all, in spite of pay and in spite of compensation ! Let us hope, however, that our latest expe riences in this matter may turn out at last to have given us a wholesome lesson—such as may tend in the next emergency to disabuse our minds alto gether of this extraordinary and incomprehensible crotchet about certain intangible, invisible, un imaginable advantages accruing from the organi zation of a corps of foreign mercenaries ! The English people as a mass have always, time out of mind, been averse to anything at all of this description. They have been accustomed to rely, under GOD, upon themselves —upon the goodness of their cause and the strength of their own right arms. Other maritime powers—Genoa and Venic© for example—have enrolled, habitually and syste matically, companies of Soldiers of Fortune from any region of the earth, of all tongues, of all religions, of all complexions. Not so has it ever been with the greatest maritime race of all, that of the Anglo-Saxon multitude. Englishmen---Irishmen —Seotehmen these are the only recognisable diversities—among these we have found the sources of a noble rivalry and a magnanimous emulation. A Swiss Legion--a German Legion —an Italian Legion : anything in the shape of a hired auxiliary force has ever and ever been—will over and ever be alien to the thoughts of a British multitude. We have had quite enough of these Follies. We have paid quite enough for them. Henceforth we will have " none on't "— none of this silly, and expensive, an d u tt er l y useless "playing at soldiers " with a parcel of Foreign Recruits, who appear only to be brought together for purpose of wea r i ng ou t our home spun the express regimentals, of swillin g our b eer, of guttling ou o f getting p a id very absurdly for doing nothing, and then—G rum bli ng ! r rations, rHE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, JULY 6 1857 ballot would but give a more dependent constitu- L s ency. A re-apportionment o f th e mem b ers would, ii again, be in favour of the counties and the land lords' serfs—the one great point is to make th• present votes real votes—the votes not of a 4JAND LORD, not of a MORTGAGEE, not of a BANKER, not of a CUSTOMER, not of a CREDITOR, not even of a PVRORASER, but the VOTE OF AN ELECTOR. Nothing but secret voting can ensure this. NEWs, THE REVOLUTIONARY MOVEMENT - IN ITALY. __ - NAPLES, JULY 3. The insurrection is now completely put down at all points. Two engagements have taken place on the fron tier of Calabria, between the insurgents and the royal troops. In the first, it is said, the insurgents had 103 men killed, and in the second 30. The Neapolitan steam-frigates Amalia, Roberto Ruggiero, and Vesuvio have received orders to con tinue cruising off the coast. A despatch, dated Turin on the evening of the 2d inst., gives some details of the insurrectionary attempt wale against tho kingdom of Naples : " The Cagliari steamer carried, by the side of her Sardinian national flag, an iminense red one. At Ponza, of which the insurgents pined possession by surprise, 300 prisoners, all political, were re leased, who, uniting with the i nsurgents , l an d e d at Sapri, in the provi; ce of Salerno. They attacked the gendarmerie of the district, who had assembled to march against them, b u t th e i nsurgents were dispersed a n d closely pursued. A certain number of them were made prisoners during the encounter. Two frigates, which captured the Cagliari, found a large quantity of arms on board her. The inhabi tants, who are fay. , urahle to the Government, re mained perfectly calm The Corriere Mercantile of Genoa gives further particulars concerning the conspiracy discovered in that city. On the night of the 29th the police, act ing upon certain information, searched several houses in Santa Brigida, Vallechigra, near the Pila gate, and other parts of the town. Muskets, pistols, stilettoes, and a quantity of ammunition were dis covered, some secreted in a coach-house, others in an unoccupied room. The most important points of the city had been occupied during the day by a nume rous force ; but towards midnight a few groups of armed men went about the streets of the western part of tine city, uttering seditious cries ; they, however, threw down their arms and ran away at the first appearance of the bayonets. Several of them were arrested ; others met the same fate at the eastern g a t es , where two carts laden with arms, petards, crowbars, &c., were seized. It appears that the insurgents displayel more activity outside the town, for about nightfall a party of about fifty men surprised the sentinel of the small fort Diamante, an outwork garrisoned by a sergeant, two corpotals, and 13 men. Having got in, the insurgents at tempted to disarm this small force, and one of them fired at the sergeant and killed him on the spot. The so'diers, however, stood their ground, and re sponded with a volley which put the asslilants to flight ; some of them being wounded, were aided in making their escape by their companions. The " number of persons arrested was about 40. Of these several were set at liberty on the following morn ing, but other arrests were made immediately after. It is stated most of the prisoners are foreigners, chiefly Swiss and French. A letter from Turin of July 1 affirms that Maz zini is in Piedmont. In the Piedmontese Chambers, on that day, M. de Revel (the leader of the Right) asked for some explana tions of the events of Genoa. Ratazzi, the Minister of the Interior, said that the government had been for some time aware that republi can intrigues were going on in Genoa. They were in formed that a movement was to take place en the night of the 29th and 30th. The police were therefore on the watch, and a part of the garrison was kept under arms. At midnight the news came that the telegraphic wires between Genoa and Turin, and between Genoa and Novara, had been cut. This inte ligence confirmed the pre-existing suspicions,"and the military were imme diately ordered out to reconnoitre. Several groups were found in the streets, some arrests were made, and up ti every individual arrested arms were found. It having been learned that a coup de main was tc be attempted against the fort of Sperona, a battalion of sharpshooters was sent there. Toe place was found surrounded by a number of armed men, who were arrested. That night and the day following several domiciliary visits were made, and considerable depots of arms and ammunition were seized. The sergeant in command of the Diamond Fort was killed by the insurgents, but otherwise no blood was shed. M. de Revel inquired what sort of men they were who had been arrested and where they came trom ; for it was important to know whether the authors of these marl acts were natives or emigrants. M, Ratazzi replied that he had not sufficient informa tion to answer in detail, but he believed that among the persons arrested were some Italians from other provinces of Italy, and some Genoese. The conversation then terminated. The writer of the letter front Turin, of the Ist inst., above quoted, says, "At the moment of closing I hear a talk of a rising in Leghorn and of a movement in Romagna and Calabria. There is also a rumour of a military revolt in Naples. Some insurgents have, it is said, landed in Sicily." A traveller, who left Naples on June 30, reports that troops were then being sent into Calabria. According to the latest official intelligence from Italy known in Paris this evening the Calahrian provinces were tranquil, 100 insurgents had been killed, and 30 wounded. Naples was quiet. This news is dated Naples, July 3. At Genoa, on the same day (Friday), two more of the leaders of the movement had bee❑ arrested. Leghorn was tranquil. According to a despatch received in Paris yester day from Marseilles it was known at Constantinople on the 29th June that a Russian steamer flying the British flag had entered the Circassian ports of Gelendjeck and Sudjuk-Kale, and there seized the merchandise they found in several vessels.

FRANCE. PARIS, Sum)Av. The second and final elections in the 3d, 4th, and 7th districts of Paris commenced this morning, and will close to-morrow evening. The movement was, in some sections, more animated than is usual on a first day's voting ; in others it was of the calmest description. It is certain that on both sides —the Government and :he Opposition—the greatest efforts are made for victory. The Opposition party is full of confidence • and the friend s o f t h e Govern ment hardly conceal their misgivings. The Go vernment spares nothing, omits nothing, to secure a triumph ; preparatory meetings, circulars left at the houses of the electors—every species of machi nery is put in play. The Minister of War has received the following despatch from Marshal Randon, Governor-General of Algeria, stating that on the 25th June, the divisions Renault and Yusuf took possession of the Beni-Yenni. The operation cost 30 men wounded. A second despatch, addressed by Marshal Randon to the Minister of War, is dated Beni-Yenni, the 29th of June. Oe the 28th the Marshal adds :—"I have just learnt from General Maissat that he had occupied. Chellata after a trifling resistance. The occupa tion of Chollata completes the investment of the rocky part of the Djurjura, and will permit me to strike more certain blows on the population which would endeavour to withdraw from our domina tion." Count Walewski, Minister of Foreign Affairs, and M. Lightenvelt, the Minister of Holland, have just exchanged the ratifications of the treaty concluded on the 10th ult. between France and the Grand Duchy of Luxembourg for the construe tion of a railway to unite the towns of Thionville and LuxonThr)urg. The railway in question is to be completed in two years. Count Walewski also signed yesterday with Baron de Wendland, the Bavarian minister, a special convention for regu lating the service of the railways between France and Rhenish Bavaria from Wissenbourg to Lud wigshafen, and vice versa. The Constitutionnel says :—" We have rceived accounts from Ajaccio of the election in Corsica. The official numb er i ng o f t h e rotes had not yet taken place, but the return of M. Abbatucci and M. Mariani was looked on as certain. The following telegraphic messages have been received in Paris " WILDBAD, July 3,—The Emperor Alexander arrived here yesterday afternoon, at 4 o'clock, ac companied by Count d'Adlerberg, Prince Dolgo rouky, and Prince Gortsch , tkoff. The Grand Duke Michael had arrived two days before."

The following is a description of a dust storm : At about four o'clock one very lovely afternoon, while in my veraroati, overioo':ing :he sea and beautiful view, embracing- Back Bay Colaba, the Fort of Bombay, the harbour, twe iiistaut moun altos and the extensive cocoa nut wood ~ f palms to toe left, I heard some one say, suddenly, " Whet is that ?" "Itis a fire." " No, it is a dust storm." Over the distant mountains dii:gy low nd clouds were s'irring. With us at Mslabar Point al was bright, calm, and beautiful. In a few minutes the m Colaba, the Fort and Tower of Bombay became quite invisible, as it they had suddenly sunk into the ocean. But we were not to escape unmolested : soon a low tuurmuri r's soloed was heard, the sea close to us became agitated. the haves of the trees began to rustle, the sk v was overcast, but the Son was not quite obscured, the colour of the sea was magnificent, there were streaks of deep purple, green and lilac, the waves looked like r.iobows, the wind became stronger every moment, kites and crows could not fly, they perched on rocks and tret-s wa,ting for the storm to be over. Myriads of dragon-fli es were tosse d up and down by the wind, which now rushed through the bungalow, bringing with it couds of dust, which c veered everything in its passage, and then fell in torrents of rain, and everything was re' freshed for a time. Experienced residents become used to these in' conveaiences. "It is surprising how indifferent one becomes to frogs, snakes, hyenas, and tigers. One evening I was highly amused by a person corn' ing to dine with us I have just killed a snake at the d oor ! ' Anaher guest followed, saying, The hyenas are howling dreadfully wwle a thud came in and told us there had been a cry among his servants of baugh' (tiger) in his compound." Another agreeable feature of Indian existence is the larg, nuniber of wandering tribes Ltrat live in the plains of the Deccan. They have a very gut stionable reputation, and the departnient that was organised for the suppression of Thuggest when Thugs became scarce, were set to trace out the system of gang - ro bbi ng, b y which many of these tribes subsisted. One of the officers drewilP a list of them, with their occupation, ostensible and real. He enumerated seventy-one tribes, and even, then, the list was incomplete.

Cuthbert St. Elms, M.P., or Passages in the Life of a Politician. 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. This story combines public with private life, the career of the hero is traced from a very early age, and we behold him gradually emerging from the retirement of a studious youth, until he takes his place in manhood in the senate, where he oc cupies no mean place. The record of his life is not carried on to the culminating point, and he does not even approach the meridian of his powers, or the maturityof hisyears, when the conclusion of the tale appears; but enough has been said to give good augury of his success, and to hold out a fair pro mise of a great renown. The domestic details oc cupy a larger space than might be expected in a political novel ; they are however exceedingly well described. Perhaps the most highly finished sketch is that of Lsdy Norah Donovan, whose mutable mind could take no fixed impression. Light and shade are vividly displayed in her composition, al ternately she was smiling - and frowning, one moment all amiability, the next as stubborn and unyield ing as possible. She possessed no guiding principle like her cousin Edith, whose gentle nature was as firm as Norah's passionate character was unstable. Nothing is more probable, than that a cr ea t ure lik e _ this, who set reason a t defiance, cast the counsels of friends to the winds, and ignored all moral re sponsibility when following her own fancies, should have a downfall. Unhappily, as often happens, she could not suffer alone. The innocent, the high spirited, and the noble hearted, had to join the ranks and swell the sacrifice. The whole of the lasi • volume is filled with the pursuit through Italy of the fugitives. Sir Hugh Dtwnay, a false friend of Cuthbert's, had persuaded Norah to elope with him, and indignant at her treatment of her unfor tunate husband, her brother, joined by his friend. Cuthbert, sets out after them. In early years Cuth bed had beeif engaged to the faithl-ss beauty, and it was a heavy blow to him when she gave him up (during an unavoidable absence) and married the worthy Mr. Burney. This latt-r event far more than reconciled the hero to his disappointment. The events in Italy are stirring one-i, as the travellers were in that country on the eve of the general outbreak in 1848. They were mixed up in some of the confus.ons se impossible to avoid when sojourning in a disturbed state of society. The end of their expedition took them to Paris, which they reached at the moment when the Citizen King had fled. Lord Beaconsfield, the brother of Norah, is a good-natured easy-tempered man, very averse to deciding matters for himself, and generally trusting to his friend. Lord Elmwood was the very reverse of this, a designing, intriguing man, intent ou pro moting his own purpose, heedle-s if conscience de barred further progress, and indifferent to the claims of friends if they stood in his way. Ha acted very ungenerously to his nepeew, Cuthbert, in sending him to Ireland, at a time when every public and private interest demanded his presence in London. For once, however, the machivations of the skilled intriguer failed. The young politi cian had excited too keen an attention to allow absence itself to obliterate him from the regard of those who watch events, and hail each rising star of promise, who seems likely to irradiate with the fire of genius the dull monotony of the political arena, and wake up the dreary echoes of conventional mediocrity, with the flashes of native wit and the sound of inspired eloquence. We havo seen how being frustrated in love was a blessing instead of a curse eventually to Cuthbert. r Lord Elmwood had a more striking proof of the vanity of his attempts, for in the hour of his party's triumph he was struck down by a fierce attack, and could nev,7r again set his foot on „ the stage of public life. " Cuthbert St. Elate may thus afford to the reader a stirring sketch of political existence, and a striking drama of social life. The crafty is shown in the one, and the cunning met with in the other; but while pride has a fall, and vanity is coveted with vexation of spirit, the upright-minded one prospers, if not always successful. The book can be fairly recommended as being clever in its com position, .elevated in its purpose, and brilliant and i effective in many of its passages. Chow-Chow. By the Viscountess Falk - land. 2 vols. Hurst and Blackett. These agreeable volumes are not devoted, as their name might imply, to the district known as Chow- Ch o w. They consist of selections from a journal kept by the authoress in Indic, Egypt, and Syria, and take their title from the Lillian pefllers, who, among their wares, always carry a " Chow-Chow ise. The word basket" of miscellaueous merchamj itself sigeifies "odds and euds';" and as the work before us is intended inure as a pleasant r - .l 9 cord of individual experiences than a serious work of tra v&s. it has also received the name.

In El Willa the topics were icebergs, sleigh ing, stoves, and double windows ; in Bomeay they were dusty roads, cool houses, and tee coming men soon. However, she tells us that tile weather rarely serves for conv ersa tion in the Est, only when the rain, are expected. There are few amusements in Bombay, for the European iienilemen are all busily en . 4 4a'ed during the day ; and the dinner hour being very late, they prefer quiet iu the evening. On the occasion of the races there is a lit.le in ire acti vity displayed, and a very mixed group of specta tors may be seen. "You may see in the crowd a Bombay European exquisite by the s , de of a dirty fakir. Here is a group of Parsecs, there is a Jew ; and there are Hindoes of all castes—Mussul mans, people from Seinde wit] square caps, Porto guese, En:lish sailors, Chinese with lung tails, native soldiers, and Armenians," The sea- COURT CIRCULAR.
