London : Hatchard The story of which " Earlwood" is the title, " i founded on the records of a history in private life,' -struction and warninf and is intended for the of the young." But than merely to warn the rising generation of the quicksands which surround them, in the spread of semi-Popery; and he the means of restoring to the true faith many who, either through fanatical en thusiasm or Jesuitical reasoning and deception, have been led to wander from the simple obser vances of our Protestant worship to the mummeries of Tractarianism, with it: high altars and its in .. - ts candles, and its costly crosses ' which can neither add cense, its flowers, beggarly element sanctity to the Christian religion, nor produce devotion in the worshippers. The authoress has brought to bear upon the subject no small amount of polemical learning on theological topics; she handles her theme with masculine vigour and much acuteness ; and gives us a volume interesting in narrative, sound in reasoning, graceful in style, though not always faultless, yet eminently readable. The following are the leading features of this interesting tale, or romance if it maw be so called, though, says the authoress, " our only romance is in those deep mysteries of real life which so often lend an imaginative character to events resulting in the deeper interests of man's inmost being." Sir Leonard Sydney, the lord of Glencornbe, is taken to his fathers, and with him dies a name of many generations. His two daughters are his only chil dren; one is married to a nobleman, the other to the rector, whose home becomes the mansion-house of Earlswood. The Countess is accidentally killed in early life, and her only child is nurtured in the family of this Christian minister, Mr. Everard, whose portrait is beautifully drawn ; the other sister dies too, but not till a larger family are left to mourn her loss. Lady Gertrude and Alice are the cousins thus early brought together, and so fondly attached to one another : to the one a deep, untold love is cherished by a Mr. Grey, an Oxford pervert, and tutor in the family of a friend; to the other, Alice, Ernest Willoughby has long pledged his heart, and Earlswood was his vacation home. His mind is plastic, and is won over to the false faith by Grey, who is a man of deep thought and sincerity of action. Under the spell he renounces Alice, and is pledged to celibacy; but is acciden tally brought into the company of a Mr. Monteith, while travelling in the Holy Land, and restored to correct views upon his errors. Grey meanwhile has got the confidence of Gertrude, and obtained her fortune for the founding of a sisterhood, and she has become a nun. Ernest returns to Italy, and, advised by Captain Mowbray, seeks to pro cure the liberation of the lady. Grey he finds to be a Romish priest, under the name of Father Paul; and to his joy he learns that Gertrude has by other means accomplished her escape. She meets her father, Lord Errisford ; and, with Ernest Wil loughby, Captain Mowbray, and Monteith, she returns to England. The Earl and Gertrude has soon the happiness of witnessing the marriage of Alice and her Ernest. But what of my Lady ? Can the reader guess from the following quotation, which may be taken as a specimen of our author's style : • " It was an anniversary of that same wedding-day, and once more I beheld the Earlswood family, trouped on the lawn together, though the circle had expanded, and bright young faces were there, which never had I seen before. Tables were spread out, here and there, covered with the generous fare of a well-ordered feast, for the village poor, who were there to celebrate the grateful event. On the mount, arched by branches of a splendid ash, an awning was suspended over seats ranged care lessly, for the spectators of the rural pastimes below. There sat Mr. Everard, his hair whitened with age in deed, but his countenance unaltered in its sweet expres sion of benevolence and peace. On one knee he held a blooming infant, the little Harcourt Willoughby, who clapped its tiny hands, with mirthful glee, at the merry songs with which ` grandpapa' amused him. Two fairy girls were planing on the grass at his feet ; the elder wreathing wild flowers round her cousin, little Catherine Mowbray, whose chief amusement lay in pulling them to pieces, and then laughing archly, as she threw their frag ments back again to Alice. Not far from these, our own sweet Alice of the glen' and Lady Gertrude Mowbray sat together, watching, with mothers' pride, the little ones at their in n oc en t pl a y, w hi c h so powerfully recalled the memory of their own happy childhood. Ernest Willoughby and Sir Charles Mowbray walked up and down the terrace, talking over the ' days of yore' ; and who so happy as themselves ? The former, since his marriage, had been the curate of Glencombe ; blessed and blessing others, as an earnest, faithful minister of Christ, preaching the Gospel in all simplicity, while illus trating its powers and holy principles in his own heart and life. Earlswood was his home, while Mr. Everard lived to need his children's care, and to him the living of Glencombe would devolve whenever its venerable incum bent might be called away, to rest from his earthly la bours in the church above. Algernon, now Everard Sydney, was alone absent from the family gathering. H e was on a tour round the Lakes ; but not alone. It was his wedding-tour, and Dora Stuart was his bride. Nor was the ' old man' there. He lay among the sleepers of the cemetery ; heartsease and lilies of the valley growing side by side, around his lowly grave ; and on the head stone was recorded the name of ` William Herbert,' who for more than seventy years had been ' a beloved and faithful servant of the families of Earlswood.'" The Transition between the Christian and Millennial Dispensations. By L. A. du P. Liverpool : Smith and Ca This is an exceedingly curious pamphlet. By ingenious, though inconclusive reasoning, —incon clusive through the premises, or the hardness of our own heart in not accepting them,—the author seeks to prove—what ?—that the end of all things, the " end of the days," " blessedness on earth," will be in fourteen years from now ! As hinted above, we do not believe, so faithless are we,—not in prophecy, but in all modern interpretations of prophecy not yet revealed,—that the end of the world is so near at hand. The author, however, thinks otherwise ; and, seeing it has been long his practice to study these mystic messages, he came " into possession of a body of evidences so convincing to his own mind, that he considers it his duty to lay them before the Christian Church, without further delay, as the time is literally at hand." That the reader may obtain the key to the conclusions arrived at, we present him with the following passage : " It will not be amiss, for the information of those who are uninitiated with sacred numbers, to reflect a short time upon their value a ndsince sacred chronology turns upon them, as meanin g; a loo 7 r , upon i ts hinges. and chiefly The most important of the numbers is emblematic of perfection, completeness, fulness; Church : as the 7 spirits of Go r d God and his e e S tr iv e e to7 branched candlesticks, the 7 days of the week, & e : is formed by the union of 3 and 4 ; 3 particularly regre t . ' senting the Trinity, and 4 the Church. Seven is also composed of 3 parts, viz•, 1,2, and 4, which form a geo metrical proportion and progression ; the Ist being th e A of the 2nd, and the 2nd being the z of the 3rd ; more over, 2 times 2, or the square of the 2nd, is equal to once 4, or the product of the Ist and 3rd. Not only is the number 7 constantly alluded to, but its multiples, as 14, 21, 28, 70, &c., and its powers, as 7 times 7 or 49, 7 times 7 times 7 or 343, and other larger multiples and powers, and their combinations. Six is emblematic of imperfection, labour, incompleteness, short-coming, &C., and refers chiefly to toil, sorrow, the flesh, Satan, the Beast, False Prophet, &c. So are its multiples, 60, 600, 666, 36, &c. Eight is emblematic of superabundance, overflowing, &e., either for good or evil. Two bears witness. Twelve is emblematic of the Church, and so are Its multiples and powers, 24, 144, 144,000, &c., &c." Thla- we must account small reasoning; never theless the most momentous conclusions are de rived from its application. For example, and bear ing upon present evencs : " Fifth period : postponed week,—Dan. xii. 9; Rev. xvii. 11, and xiii. 3.

HORTICULTURE. EASTHAM FLOWER SHOW. The 1. v.irs of flowers and beautiful scenery hailed with delight the revival of the meetings of the Eastham Hor ticultural Society, which, a ft er an i n t erva l of four years, were again commenced on Thursday last. Fortunately the day was fine, and nothing could exceed the pictu resque beauty of the highly-kept gi'ounds of the hotel, which were tastefully adorned with elegant vases, tazzas, wire and rusti c wor k f rom M essrs. C . D. Y oung and Co., of Derby-pl ace , Li verpoo l , who also spread a number of thei r A us t ra li an em i grants ' t en t s , w hi c h bads singular and interesting effect. Great numbers of visitors came by the boats from Liverpool, but much disappoint ment was occasioned by the absence of an extra boat which had been engaged for the occasion. The flower show was held in the large rustic pavilion, which was originally erected for this society, at two o'clock, when the attendance was most fashionable ; the exquisite beauty of the gardens ; th e l uxur i an t woo d s , j us t a cquiring the first tinge of Autumn ; the glorious expanse of the noble Mersey, together with the excellent music, happy faces, beautiful flowers, and meltin g f r uits, formed a splendid Berne. The prizes were as follows : R. Naylor, Esq (Mr. Bellis, gardener) „ first prizes for greenhouse plant, lumen elegans, collection of cut roses, hardy shrub (in pot), fuchsia riccartoni.—Fruits : Melon, culinary apples, culinary pears, damsons, magnum bonum plums, white and red currants, plums, gooseberries.— Vegetables : Cauliflowers, chilies, French beans. peas, turnips, red and white cabbage, curled parsley, and for a collection of six kinds of vegetables. Second prize, for miscellaneous collection of stove and greenhouse plants. R. Rankin, Esq.

(Mr. Taylor, gardener), first prizes for hollyhocks, white grapes, peaches, nectarines, pine apple, carrots and onions. Second prizes for melon and table pears. The peaches, nectarines, and especially the grapes, shown by Mr. Littledale, were the admiration of all present, and certainly were the finest ever ex hibited in this part of the country. Messrs. Henderson and Brown, of the Oxton Nursery, exhibited a large and choice collection of stove and green house plants, collections of verbenas, German stocks, China asters, dahlias, gladioluses, and a very unique one of exotic ferns. These were all shown, " not for com petition," but from a kind feeling on the part of this firm to assist the society. Mr. Kellock, of the Dale Nursery, Rock Ferry, took the first prize for a fine collection of hollyhocks; also, prizes for dahlias, roses, and bullock turnips._ Mr. Charles Rylance, of Lydiate Nursery, near Orms kirk, showed superb collections of dahlias, which elicited great admiration. He took first prizes for 24, 12, and 6 blooms, and for 6 fancies. Second prizes for 12 and 6 blooms. - Harnden, Esq. (Mr. Redfern, gardener), second priv3 for fuschias. P. Higgins, Esq., of Thornton, first prizes for cow cabbage, and kohl-rabi. R. Rankin, Esq. (Mr. Bruce, farmer), first prizes for red and yellow mangold, Swede turnips, and cattle potatoes.

ELOPEMENT EXTRAORDINARY A correspondent, writing from Southend, Kintyre, communicates to us the following romantic incidents : In the district of Southend lived a widower upwards of 50 years of age, and a weaver by his trade. About a mile distant from his residence there resided the widow of a farmer, ten years older than himself, who had a family of grown-up sons. They were both bereft of their partners within a few weeks of each other, and it appears that ever since a tender attachment had taken possession of both their widowed hearts. Frequent sly opportunities of courtship were afforded the love-sick swain by his aged inamorata, who, in fear of filial vengeance, took the pre caution to admit her lover to her bedchamber by the win dow, after all had gone to rest. Here they talked over their little plans of future happiness, and enjoyed each other's sweet society till the crowing of the cock and pru dence induced a cruel parting. Like all other delicate subjects of romance, their true love did not run smooth— " Heigh ho, the wind and rain !" The widow's two grown-up sons were the mortal enemies of the mother's sweetheart, and watched his movements so closely, that the utmost stealth and caution had to be adopted in managing their tgles-a-tele. For some time back this cruel annoyance became so oppressive to these love-smitten ones, that they resolved to pit an end to all their sufferings by an elopement, for the purpose of getting spliced. Accordingly, on the night of the Sth instant, this second Romeo and his Juliet disappeared. Next morning the cruel and undutiful sons gave pursuit, and apprehended the fugitives at Campbeltown. when about to take the steamer for Glasgow. The widow was borne back in triumph by her hardhearted children to Southend, where they locked her up in her room, and kept a strict watch over her. The knight of the shuttle, however, was not to be baffled so easily of his fair prize, and watched his opportunity. The vigilance of the stern sons of the widow having somewhat relaxed, the mature lovers found means of communicating with each other and laying a plot to baffle their enemies. On the night of Thursday, the 18th instant, the weaver hired two daring boatmen to be in readiness to row him and his true love across the chan nel to Ireland in an open boat—a distance of 20 miles. Having completed his arrangements at this point, the " gallant weaver," as soon as he conjectured that the household of his fair treasure was fast under the influence of the drowsy god, proceeded, accompanied by a trusty friend, up Glenbrackrie, and stealthily took out the widow's pony from the stable, and yoked it to her gig. At a signal, the fair one's bedroom window opened, and a friendly ladder having been placed for her accommoda tion, she was soon in the arms of her faithful knight. and safely placed in the vehicle, and away "They are gone over bank, bush, and scar; They'll have fleet steeds that follow, quoth young (old) Lochinvar." Onward they drove with railway speed to Carskey Bay—a distance of two miles—and here the boatmen were waiting steadily at their post. With all haste the now happy pair embarked in their light skiff; the boatmen plyed their brawny arms; and the vessel's prow cut through the blue water. But what sights and what sounds are these ! The two sons, attired in their trousers and shirts only, are on the beach. " Come back, come back, they cried in grief, You may have stormy weather. And I'll forgive yon weaver thief, My mither ! oh, my mither 1" But no—on dashed the boat; and the gallant Lothario sent back a shout of defiance, while " One brawny arm did guide the helm, And one was round their mother!" The pursuers, however, were not thus to lose their sexa genarian love.smit parent. Foaming with rage, they sprung into a fishing boat, and an exciting chase com menced. Strong arms bend the oars, and the boats near each other before they are more than a quarter of a mile from shore. "Now, gentle lover, hold thy own, No maiden's arms are round thee thrown." The boats are about to grapple, but the knight of the loom had his " courage screwed to the sticking place," and was not to be conquered without a struggle. His boat was ballasted with some large stones ; one of these he lifted, and, with the force of a Titan, hurled it at the frail bark of his pursuers. This artillery had a decisive effect, for it crushed in the side of the pursuing skiff as if it had been a twenty-four pound shot. As the boat was in danger of sinking, the bold young men, like many others in naval combat,when their craft is rendered unseaworthy by the enemy's guns, now concluded that "the better part of valour was discretion, " and put their vessel's prow shorewards. From the disabled state of the boat, it was with difficulty they made the land. But though beat back, they were not defeated ; raging, like a she bear's cubs deprived of their dam, they seized and manned ano ther boat, and renewed the chase. The fugitives by this time, however, were beyond sight. Still the gallant hearts were resolved to die in the attempt, or save their mother, and wreak their vengeance on their would-be stepfather, whom they swore they would immolate to their resentment. After a gallant chase, the boats again came in sight of one another about mid-chan nel. It now became a matter of life and death with the weaver, and he was for again launching the ballast at his pursuers, but maternal affection was awakened in the breast of his companion, who would not permit the risk of sinking the boat, and thereby endangering the lives of her valiant sons ; nevertheless, they closed in battle, and a terrible scene arose, in which both parties fought like heroes, dealing fearful blows at each other with their oars. Again victory crowned the " old Lochinvar," who suc ceeded in wresting an oar from his foes, and, amid three hearty cheers, his boat shot a-head, leaving them " far amidst the solitary main." with only a single oar to guide their fragile bark. As it was useless to attempt further pursuit in their disabled condition, the vanquished wights were compelled to scull their boat with a single oar back towards Kintyre, a distance of ten weary miles ; while the victor, with his soul elate. sane in triumph, " Oh, steer my bark to Erin's Isle!" The sun was high in the heavens next morning ere tho young men, weak and faint from the hot pursuit and hard-fought engagement, reached their native shore, where a number of anxious friends were waiting to receive them. The amorous couple have not since been heard of, but it is to be hoped that after all their difficulties and "hairbreadth 'scapea by flood and field." they have now attained the object of their wishes, despite of their reluctant and naughty children, and that they are now spending a happy honeymoon in some corner of the Emerald Isle, undisturbed by fears of molestation or surprise. . . The principal actor in the above ludicrous affair is a native, we believe, of the parish of West Kilbride, where he formerly plied the shuttle, but has for a number of years rented a small farm in Kintyre.—Glasgow Daily Mail, DISTRICT NEWS. WARRINGTON. BLUE COAT SCHOOL.—The institution has just sus tained a severe loss by the death of Mr. Forster, the head master. For the last 17 years he has filled the office of head master, and his loss will be severely felt. LICENSING DAY.—The annual licensing sessions were held on Monday last, at the Sessions-house, and there was a good attendance of magistrates; the mayor presided. No opposition was offered to the renewal of any of the licenses. BOARD OF GUARDIANS. The usual weekly meeting of the board of guardians took place on Wednesday last, at the workhouse; eleven guardians were present, and Mr. Webster, the vice. chairman, presided. The following are the returns of the relieving officers :—ln No. 1 district, 963 persons had been relieved, at a cost of £45 2s. 6 1. ; of which £23 3s. was in money, and £2l 193. 6d. in kind : in No. 2 district, 204 persons had been re lieved, at a cost of £ll 3s. Id. ; of which £4 11s. ld. was in money, and -.C6 12s. in kind : in No. 3, the rural district. 390 persons had been relieved, at a coat of .C2l. 6s. 6d. all in money. Total number relieved, 1,557 ; total cost of relief, £77 I2s. Id. The number of inmates in the workhouse was 128, and the number of vagrants lodged and relieved, 66. Compared with the returns for the corresponding week last year, these re turns show a decrease of 241 in the number relieved, of £7 18s. 11d. in the cost of relief, of 37 in the number of vagrants, and of 4 in the number of inmates in the work house. The balance in hand was £122 ISs. hi. CHESHIRE AND WALES FfßE.—On Thursday evening a fire broke out in the house of Mr. Lamont, Clifton-park, through the over heating of a flue, but, being at once discovered, it was promptly extinguished. _BIRKENHEAD DOCKS.—A meetine of the trustees of the Birkenhead docks was held on Wednesday, at which Mr. A. W. Powles, was elected chairman, and J. 11. Greene, Esq., of Birkenhead. deputy-chairman. The finance and works comrnitte were also appointed. AN AERIAL VISITOR.—O❑ Wednesday evening, be tween then and twelve o'clock, a gentleman on the old Chester-road, near Bebington Church, was startled by hearing a strange rustling noise close over his head, and, before he had time to escape, he found himself in the embrace of a large balloon. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAlLWAY.—Traffic for the week ending Aug. 22, 1852.—Railwav : Passengers, par cels, &c., £3397 14s. 43. ; goods, £670 12s. 11d.—Steam boats : Passengers, parcels, &c., £l6l Os. 24.—Total, .£1,529 is. 5d., being a decrease on the corresponding week last year of £530 13s. 9d. ST. DAVID'S COLLEGE, LAMPETER.—It has already transpired that an application on the part of St. David's College for the power of conferring degrees, at least in theology had some time ago been preferred, and had been favourably entertained by the late ministry, notwithstand ing the secret opposition of Sir Benjamin Hall. It now appears that Lord Derby's government have not been less liberal in their view of the matter than their predecessors in office, and we have the satisfaction iri being the first to announce that the instrument conferring formally the desired powers has been signed and sealed. We under stand that there will in all cases be three examiners, two of whom will be sent by the vice chancellors of Oxford and Cambridge, while the third will represent the autho rities of Lampeter. Those gentlemen who passed through St. David's College before examiners were sent from the universities, will of course be subjected to some kind of ordeal; but in cases where a certificate has already been granted by the university examiners, we apprehend it will place the candidate in a position in which lie need seldom entertain much fear of the honorary recognition of a career already passed being refused to him. Since, however, the degree is to be a theological one, it will not be formally conferred until an interval of five years (we presume in holy orders, and with testimonials to character), shall have elapsed after the close of his college education.— North Wales Chronicle. MUSIC AND THE DRAMA. Roy Ar. AMPHITHEATRE.—The superior style in which " Belphegor" was produced and played led to its being thrice performed last week; and though the piece might still be advantageously altered, it is a drama of superior quality, and can bear to be seen oftener than once. There are passages in it of the most impressive description, of ir.tense pathos and excellent sentiment, but they require such acting as that of Celeste or Webster to develop..l their beauties. Nothing in their acting was left to be desired, and the company discharged their duties very respectably. Among the ladies, Miss Fanny Maskell, as Nina Flora Aphrodite Stilz, and Miss L. Sennett, as Henri, are wor thy of special mention. Mr. Baker and Mr. Cathcart gave correct renderings of the French nobles. Mr. F. Younge, as Ajax, kept the house in merriment, but he overdrew the character, and made it somewhat vulgar • as nn Thursday he cast off his wings, so might he have laid down his bow and arrow, and lost nothing thereby. The " French Spy" has proved a favourite piece. The " Mys terious Stranger" will only hold its ground while Madame Celeste continues to display her versatile talents in the five different assumptions of the Stranger, for in the writing it has nothing to recommend it. There is an amount of action expended throughout which might be worthy of better things. Mr. Webster makes a good part of Crequet, even though he is but a servant. Last night a change of stars took place, and for two or three weeks to come we shall have a succession of comedy, melodrama, and farce. " The Flowers of the Forest" is a favourite opening piece with Mrs. Fitzwilliam and Mr. Buckstone, and it was played last night before a large audience. To night an extremely agreeable comedy, " Presented at Court," is to be enacted : those who saw it last year can not have forgotten the ludicrous positions of Mr. Buck stone, as Geoffrey Wedderburne, and the genial acting of Mrs. Fitzwilliam, in the character of Mistress Anne Franklyn. The drama is taken, with very slight altera tion, from Dumas' Me - moires d'un 1116decin, and will well repay a visit to the theatre. 'We observe that " The Foundlings" is to be produced on Friday, followed, also for the first time, by " Baker 'Worried by Buckstone"— it used to be Keeley, but that matters little; Buckstone is the worrier, and having well worried Keeley, he comes to do execution on Baker. MR. LOVE'S ENTERTAINMENT.—The variety of this gentleman's polyphonistic entertainment is only equalled by his world-wide celebrity. From the British empire at home to the British colonies abroad, from France to South America, he is known as the best of ventriloquists, and we fondly hope his has not been literally " Love's labour lost !" On Saturday night we were much gratified by his appearance at the Concert-hall, where the performance was received with unmingled favour. It may be stated that this gentleman's entertainment is selected from a series written by distinguished authors. On this occasion he gave " Love ir. all Shapes, or the Gallery of Portraits," and another piece, illustrative of the peculiarities of dif ferent persons. To give due effect to the mimicry in the first, Mr, Love made the requisite transformations ; pre senting us at one time with the portrait of a hypochon driac ; at another of a dandy ; then of an eccentric old man, who thought modern opinions " vulgar errors ;" and, finally, of a young lady, excessively talkative; and he accomplished these changes with a celerity and com pleteness which astonished as much as they succeeded in preserving the individuality of the portrait. There is much fidelity in these eccentricities, as every observer can testify who goes through the world with his eyes open, and a great deal of immour in their presentation. THE BERNAIS SINGERS made their first appearance at the Theatre Royal last night, and will give four more con certs. In addition to their own attractions, they have obtained the valuable services of Mr. L9roque, a tenor of excellent quality and reputation. Their recent visits here proved successful. PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY'S CONCERTS.-111C fifth sub scription concert of the season takes place to-morrow. It will be a miscellaneous concert, and judging from the names of Madame Castellan, a prima donna of great con tinental reputation and metropolitan celebrity, and Signors Tamberlik and Polonini, it will be a fine one. The next concert, which will also be one of high stamp, takes place upon the 14th of September. Madame Grisi, and Signors Mario, Bertrandi, and F. Lablache, have been engaged. _ _ AIR. THOMAS'S CLASSICAL CONCERTS.—WO welcome the announcement of four more of these delightful con certs, and hope they may prove financially satisfactory, Several novelties are promised, which looks like a deter. minate line of action ; and the services of Messrs. Sey mour, Herrman, Lidel, Isaac, J. H. Sheppard, Toms, and Sterndale Bennett have been secured. MUSICAL FESTIVAL AT BIRMINGHAM.—This day week and the three following days will be brilliant ones at Birmingham, and, doubtless, most profitable to the funds of the General Hospital. The musical public will have a succession of the richest treats in the morning oratorios and evening miscellaneous concerts. Madame Viardot Garcia, who is worthy of her sister Malibran, Madame Castellan, Misses Dolby and Williams, Madame Clara Novello, and Madlle. Anna Zerr, are among the solo singers ; and Tamberlik, Lockey, Sims Reeves, Polonini, Formes, T. Williams, Weiss, and Belletti, besides solo instrumentalists, are named in the programme. • NORWICH MUSICAL FESTIVAL.—This, which is in aid of the chief local charities, follows shortly upon the one at Birmingham, and includes the highest talent. The pro spectus is full, rich, and varied. MISS GLYN was announced to play Lady Macbeth at Manchecter last Saturday, and, when we learnt of her arrival that afternoon, we were informed that a mishap, not unlike what befel the Guild of Amateurs at Bath, was impending over her, inasmuch as her stage paraphernalia had not reached. We hope all came safe and in time, for the lady's sake as well as for the stage-manager of the Theatre Royal, for whose benefit she had generously given her prompt and free services. It will be remembered that the last time this lady appeared in Manchester was on the occasion of the dramatic festival for the charities, when she refused all remuneration even for personal and travelling expenses. She played Queen Katharine, and the critics said it was unequalled since the Siddons. By later intelligence we find all went well, and Miss Glyn played with much spirit before a large house. THE SONTAG and her husband, the Count Rossi, sailed on Wednesday, in the Arctic, for America. CFIARACTER OF SIR JAMES GRAIIAM.—He began po litical life as a Radical, who would not only eradicate the House of Peers from the Constitution, and abolish the State Church, but he also proj ec t e d th e spong i ng out the N ational Debt. Ile relapsed into Whiggism, and took office. He made a high Tory speech to the electors of Dorchester, in 1841-2, in which he abused Lord Mel bourne'sgoyernment, condemeed free-trade, and requested to be sent to Parliament in order to protect the farmers by a good prohibitory sliding scale. Yet, as member for Dorchester, be was also membe r o f th e m i nistry w hi ch abolished the corn-laws. He has recently relapsed into Wh ig - Radicalism. He has sat for more places than any member of the House. He was elected first for Carlisle ; and he has represented Cumberland, Hull, Pembroke, Dorchester, Ripon, and, for the second time, the same constituency again, Carlisle. No one doubts his great ad ministrative abilities, and his power of official industry. No one has confidence in his political morality. In his private character he is a virtuous, honourable, high-minded gentleman ; but his manners are un p o p u l a r, cold, proud, and repulsive.— Tait's Magazine, COURT AND FASHION HER MAJESTY received numerous visitors during the past week ; among others, the Earl and Countess of Derby, who returned to St. Leonard's on Thursday. FESTIVITIES AT OSBORNE. — On.Saturday the lac in honour of the birthday of his Royal Highness Prince Al bert took place at Osborne, instead of the natal day of the Prince, the 26th instant. Four large tents were erected in frant of the terrace, and poles and all things necessary for the rustic games were raised, and flags and streamers displayed in great variety. Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Cambridge and the Princess Mary arrived in The band of the Royal Marines was in at- Shortly before three o'clock the tenantry and (septimo -octave) tie will gain such an 10 horns or states, now in existence in eir me Western Europe, that the 11 agree to give their power th to him for ashort period, called an hour 11 form a great conf racy to opp Lamb, who, though unseen to the eye of flesh, Will come within the firmament of our planet, as the ereat antitvpe of David, to confound his enemies, the infernal mimic Trinity—S itan, the Beast (Antichrist), and the False ; heading the kings of the earth, and he will dash in pieces like a potter's vessel." Prophet the We cannot continue the quotation, but recom mend the pamphlet to the reader, thcrgh he may not he satisfied that the " end of the days" is The author fixes 1860 for the " Dethronement of the usurper Antichrist, followed by that of Satan"; five years later for the " Proba ble Restitution of the Ten Tribes" ; and 1866 for the " End of the days—Blessedness on Earth." Before leaving the present subject, let us refer to a passage which has somewhat astonished us : • Had the Jews believed Moses and the Prophets, and Jesus himself, when he preached at the beginning of his ministry . . . Christ's millennial reign would have begun. But instead of receiving him, they rejected both A his great precursor, (the typical Elijah,) and killed the Prince of Life." him a. According to our author, Christ died decause the Jews rejected Him ; and, in one sense, so He did. But what is his meaning ?—" that if the Jews had believed in Jesus, and received Him as the Son of God, He should not have suffered upon the cross." Where would then have been the sacrifice for sin ? Is not this human reasoning ? It is not scriptural. " Without shedding of blood is no remission." In fine, we wish that every would-be interpreter of such momentous prophecy as forms the main topic of this pamphlet would -carefully ponder the words of Christ Himself,—"Of that day and hour knoweth no man, no, not the angels of Heaven, but my Father only. Watch, therefore, for ye know not what hour your Lord shall come." rncle Toin'.c Cabin. No. I. London : Clarke &Ca The first part of a cheap edition of this graphic picture of negro hardships is now before us. It is well printed, and liberally illustrated ; and the pub lishers assure us that twenty-four such parts will complete the work. From the specimen, the narra tive has a thrilling interest, and bids fair not only to support the high opinions which have been already expressed upon its merits, but to obtain a wide popularity. Considering the necessity of carefully cherishing the correctness of the judg ment, of the vu/gus in particular, to whom the vo lume in this form is addressed, an exception might be taken to the ad capiandum titles of the wood cuts and their mottoes, which certainly, without the context, have a tendency to inflame the mind. NEW MUSIC. MUSIC. As in books, so in music, authors and composers seize a new idea of popular movement, and work at it till there remains neither novelty, originality, nor merit. Such was our impression on examining the following music :—" The Irish Exile's Return," " Beautiful Erin," " The Irish Emigrants' Duet," all by Stephen Glover (London : Cocks and Co.); and " To the Gold Fields, or the Lay of the Emi grant" (London : D'Almaine). If they want ori ginality, however, they are pleasing trifles, and in no respect ambitious. "In Shades of Evening dies the Day" (London : D'Almaine), is a Sabbath evening song, by Glover, of much sweetness; and " Sailing on the Summer Sea," by Cherry (London: Cocks and Co.) wafts us along most gently, but it lacks the beauty of an allied song by Glover, `• What are the wild Waves saying." We come now to a telling song of another stamp, " The I Blacksmith," by Cherry (London : Cocks and Co.), in the tempo de marcia. It is a hold, spirited bary tone, with an excellent accompaniment full of point. "Annie Laurie" (London : Cocks and Co.), a sweet Scottish ballad, gives a theme to W. V. Wallace for a new arrangement and variations. The aria is well preserved till the close, where it breaks down. The first variation is very sprightly and beautiful; the second is of the marching order; and both carry through the theme with faithful ness. " The Charming Polka" (London : D'Al maine), by Harvey, sustains the author's character. It will doubtless be a favourite. ARIE TIES ---------- --- FAMILY LIKENESS.—UncIe Bonaparte believed in destiny. Nephew believes in fetes.—Punch. DICKENS, in " Bleak House," aptly designates pawn brokers' duplicates as " turnpike tickets on the road to poverty." A GENTLEMAN one used the expression " Vox Populi, Vox Dei," in conversation with Mr. John Wesley. He at once replied, " No, it cannot be the voice of God, for it was vox populi that cried out, 'Crucify him, crucify him !' "—Notes and Queries. BEARDS.—In the kingdom of Poland there exists an ordinance which enacts that men shall not wear beards without permission of the authorities, and without paying a duty. At the last fair at Korieglow several persons with beards were summoned before the mayor to produce their permissions. Those who could not do so were placed in the hands of a barber, and their beards were shaved off. MATRIMONIAL TIFTS.—I have frequently remarked (writes Jean Richter), that a guest has become the paste and cement of two married quarrelling halves, because shame and necessity have obliged them to speak and be friendly to one another, at least as long as the guest was listening. Every married lord should be provided with one or two guests, who might come in to relieve his suf ferings when the mistress of the house happened to have the devil of dumbness in her body ; for she must talk at least as long as the gentlemen are present, and take out of her mouth the iron thief-apple of silence, which grows on the same stalk as the apple of discord. LADIES' BLACKING.—Take one drachm of isinglass, half a drachm of indigo, half an ounce of soft soap, two ounces of glue, and a small handful of logwood raspings. Boil these altogether slowly in one pint of vinegar, until the quantity is reduced one-half. The shoes are to be entirely cleaned from dirt or dust, and if any blacking remain on them, it must be washed off with cold water, and the shoes dried ; then the blacking is to be applied with a small bit of sponge ; it is merely rubbed on, when a perfect shining jet is produced, needing no brush, and making no dirt; nor will it soil the dress. This article is sold in small bottles at one shilling each, but, for a large family, it will be found far more economical to pre pare it at home.—Magazine of Domestic Economy. A SMART RETORT.—The following anecdote used to be related by the late William Hazlitt :—He was once visiting Mr. and Mrs. Basil Montagu when Sir Anthony Carlisle, a physician of note, came in, apparently in a state of more than his usual self-complacency, having just received a complimentary testimonial from the Apo thecaries' Hall, In answer to the inquiries of Mrs. Montague, he said, very pompously, and somewhat pro fanely—" Madame. the glorious company of th e apothe caries praise me !" " But," retorted Mrs. Montague, " What say the noble army of martyrs, your patients, Sir Anthony ? The conceited physician was so nonplussed by this witty rejoinder. that after a blundering attempt to continue the conversation, he somewhat suddenly took his leave. ART OF SWIMMING.—Men are drowned by raising their arms above water, the unbuoyed weight of which depresses the head. Other animals have neither notion nor ability to act in a similar manner, and, therefore, swim naturally. When a man falls into deep water, he will rise to the surface, and will continue there, if he does not elevate his hands. If he moves his hands under the water in any way he pleases, his head will rise so high as to al low hi►n free liberty to breathe ; and if he will use his legs as in the art of walking (or rather of walking up stairs), his shoulders will rise above the water, so that he may use less exertion with his hands, or apply them to other pur poses. These plain directions are recommended to the recollection of those who have not learned to swim in their youth, as they may be found advantageous in pre serving life. CAUSE AND EFFECT.—lnfinite are the consequences which follow from a single, and often, apparently, a very insignificant circumstance. Paley himself narrowly es caped being a baker ; here was a decision upon which hung in one s ca l e , per h aps , th e immortal interests of thou sands, and, in the other, the gratification of the taste of the good people of Gigg;eswick for hot rolls. Cromwell was near being strangled in his cradle by a monkey ; here was this w re t c h ed ape wielding in his paws the destinies of nations. Then, again, how different in their kind, as well as in their magnitude, are these consequences from anything that might have been a pr i or i expecte d . H enry VIII. is smitten with the beauty of a girl of eighteen ; and, ere long, " The Reformation beams from Boleyn's eyes." Charles Wesley refuses to go with his wealthy namesake to Ireland, and the inheritance which would have been his, goes to build up the fortunes of a Welles ley, instead of a Wesley ; and to this decision of a school boy (as Mr. Southey observes) Meth o di sm may owe i ts existence. and England its military—and we t rust we may now add ,its civil and political—glory. —Quarterly Review. - Cr)yal Earniiy, an seated on the terr whole. The sports continued till evening HER MAJESTY'S TOUR.—The Queen, accompanied by Prince Albert and the royal children, were to leave Osborne-house for Scotland, yesterday morning. Lord Malmesbury will be the Secretary of State in attendance during the route to the north. His lordship will receive and answer the loyal addresses presented at Gloucester, Birmingham, Derby, tke. His lordship will remain at Balmoral for a fortnight, after which he will be succeeded by the Earl of Derby, who will continue on a visit to her Majesty till the end of September. Mr. Walpole will be the Secretary of State in attendance upon the Queen on the return of the Court from Scotland. The sojourn of the Queen in the north will be extended to five or six weeks. Her nijesty will return fully a month before the meeting of Parliament. The royal party were to rest last night at Derby, to-night at Edinburgh, and will proceed direct to Balmoral to-morrow (Wednesday morning). HIS ROYAL HIGHNESS PRINCE ALBERT completed his 33rd year on Thursday, on which occasion the seamen of the Royal yachts were regaled in the usual manner at Osborne-house. The event was also celebrated in Lon don, Portsmouth, Windsor, ,Scf.

THE GARTER, vacant by the death of the Duke of Hamilton, will, it is said, be conferred on the Duke of Northumberland, the First Lord of the Admiralty. THE PEERAGE.—There are now no less than fifty three peers without lieh s male, either apparent or pre sumptive, and, consequently (upon their demise without issue), whose titles wili become extinct. M. DE PERSIGNY, the confidential adviser of Louis Napoleon, has arrived in London, in order to discuss with our government various topics of political and commercial interest affecting Great Britain and France. • THE EX-QUEEN OF TIIE FRENCH. — Queen Marie Amelie quitted Teignmouth, where she has been residing during the last month, to attend with her sons, the Duke de Nemours, the Prince de Joinville, and the Duke d'Aumale, the religious service which was unostentatiously celebrated on the 26th instant at the Sepulchral Chapel at Weybridge for the second anniversary of the death of King Louis Philippe. Several faithful friends came over from France to render this pious homage to his memory, and to join the Queen and the Royal family at the foot of the late king's tomb. DEATH OF THE EARL OF FALMOUTH.—The Earl of Falmouth expired at a quarter past 9 a.m. on Sunday, at his residence in St. James's-square, London, after a painful illness of more than six months' duration, which he bore with the most patient res'gnation. The deceased George Henry Boscawen, Earl of Falmouth, Viscount Falmouth, and Baron of Boscawen-Rose, in the county of Cornwall, in the peerage of the United Kinkom, was only son of Edward (the first Earl), and was born on the Bth of July, 1811. The deceased peer is succeeded as Viscount Fal mouth by his uncle, the Hon. and Rev. John Evelyn Boscawen, Prebendary of Canterbury, who will inherit the large family estates in Cornwall. FASHIONS FOR SEPTEMBER. ca. (From Le Follel) A revolution is taking place in ladies' sleeves. The pagodes, formerly so exceedingly wide, have been re duced to more modest proportions, they have become the half pagodes ; and under that aspect have recived diffe rent modifications in their trimmings, as have also the duchesses and marquises sleeves; all of which are made either of embroidered insertion mixed with Valenciennes, English embroidery with Mauna lace, point d'Alencon, or Brussels lace. These have been sometimes united with ballons of lace or clear muslin, during the summer; but autumn already knocks at our door, and very short or very large sleeves are not suitable for October or Novem• ber. Foreseeing this, some new styles have been pre pared. These sleeves are rather longer, and decidedly smaller round. Some are of muslin, gathered up the seam, which is at the top of the arm, underan embroidered insertion, edged with Valenciennes; others open to the elbow, with a puffing of muslin or tulle; others are formed of insertions and bouillons running perpendicular, but all are terminated with an embroidered wristband, so as to prevent the air circulating to the shoulder. Very fine jaconot or muslin, printed in the Persian style, with bouquets of pink or blue flowers, are much worn in the country. The skirt is separated from the body, and trimmed with deep flounces scolloped at both edges, to form a small heading ; another flounce is attached to the casaque, which reaches the top of the second on the skirt. The style of this robe may be changed by slashing the basquine, and lacing it together with narrow white braid. We have also seen some batiste robes, embroidered in colours, green, violet, and apricot. Some have the skirts trimmed with three broad tucks, with a band of Greek velvet over each. The mousguelaires cuffs are edged to match, with a row of hanging buttons fastening the ladder of narrow braid, the same colour as the buttons. The revers and small epaulettes of the low body are trimmed with velvet, and the front of the body is crossed with the same. A guimpe ala Suissesse, of fine batiste, wilh very narrow tucks, and sleeves to match, is worn under the body. A dark-coloured ta f fetas scarf mairle, with deep fringe. An open-worked straw bonnet, with a velvet fanchon, scolloped and edged round with a fringe of straw; between each scollop hangs an ornament of straw ; the fanchon falls gracefully over the front and crown. The curtain is of straw, edged with scolloped velvet trimmed to match the .fanchon. A band of velvet, scolloped at each edge, is placed round the inside edge of the bonnet, on which are worked small ornaments in straw. The cap is composed of full bouillonnes of tulle, with bunches of currants in velvet, and straw flowers. Open-worked bonnets of yellow and black crinoline, trimmed with bows of chine ribbon in bright shades, such as lilac, yellow, ruby, &c., mixed with black lace, are as much worn. The inside is ornamented with mixed flowers to match the colours in the ribbon. We have seen one of these bonnets worn by a lady of undisputed taste, who was dressed in a robe of white and ruby plaid taffetas, trimmed with three scolloped flounces. High body, very open in front, nearly round at the waist, without basque's; pagodes sleeves, trimmed with a headed frill. 7'oilettes, full of variety and elegance, are ornamented with bands of moire cut on the bias, the colour differing, yet harmonising with the robe. For instance, a robe of iron-gray grenadine has five rows of pink moire, from the deepest to the palest shade; the stripes aro progressive in width, undulated, and edged with a very narrow black velvet. The body, which is round at the waist, is drawn at the band, and widens to the shoulders. A pink moire band, forming revers, runs round the body behind, and meets at the waist under a pink ribbon sash with black edges. The short sleeves are formed of pink moire and grenadine biases, with a double row of thread guipure, slightly gathered, descending en pagode. The same gui pure trims the small embroidered muslin fichu, which opens en cceur, reaching the bow of the sash. Another toilette, in the same style, is of white grena dine, trimmed with five rows of green moire; these bands are straight at the edges, and fastened on the dress with a row of dots embroidered in white silk, resembling a row of beads. The body, ala grecque, has three plaits, very narrow at the waist and widening at the top. A band of moire fastens the plaits at the top of the body, which is square over the shoulders. The sleeves reach the elbow behind, but much sloped in front, and are trimmed with three rows of moire to match the skirt. Moire bands, but in darker colours, are employed for toilette de ville. Robes, of gray or black taffetas, with dark blue or violet, have a very pretty effect; flounces, the fronts of t edingotes, and the basquines, are trimmed in this style. When this trimming is required to be more elegant a guipure is mixed with it. A very pretty dress, of this description, is formed of green and black ta f fetas. At the edge of the three flounces is placed a band of green moire edged with black guipure; the front has revers, very wide, open on the chest, trimmed to match, with a guimpe of very fine muslin, tucked, and a ruche of Valen ciennes round the throat. A green taffetas sash, with long ends, fastened in front. The sleeves, which are half-large, are quite round at the bottom, and open to the elbow be hind, trimmed with a double row of guipure and moire bands. A bow of ribbon is placed at the elbow, to match the one at the waist, but much narrower. The under sleeves match the guimpe, and are fastened round the waist with a band trimmed with two rows of Valenciennes. The bonnet is composed of alternate rows of bouillonnis of tulle and ruches of narrow guipure ribbon ; bunches of honeysuckle, mixed with small lilac flowers, inside. A large black square in rich designs over the shoulders. Robes of broche, plain or fancy taffetas, have but one deep flounce, reaching above the knee. It is rather full, with a bouillonne, a ruche of ribbon, or three narrow gar nitures, for a heading. These flounces are sometimes embroidered with silk. For example, a black taffetas, with flounces embroidered in palms, with small flowers in all shades of violet. The palms reach nearly to the top of the flounce, The dress is embroidered in the same style, but in much smaller proportions, above the flounce, forming a heading. The basquines and sleeves embroidered to match ; chemisette and under sleeves formed of Valenciennes and embroidered muslin insertion. The chemisette is closed with filligne gold buttons, as well as the under-sleeves.
