Mitc terlij Reriezi A number of Much interest and considerable abi lity, varied in its contents, and chiefly biographical. It opens with an able article upon Apocalyptic in terpretation, in which the writer holds the view respecting the mystic visions that they are applica ble to the universal Church, and the loosing of the " The seals thus understood, as denoting the spiritual condition of the Church, and as foreshadowing the consequences of its spiritual declension, become capable of a con sistent interpretation, running exactly parallel with the spiritual declensions which are reproved in the seven epistles, and also strictly conformable with the facts recorded in seals the epochs in history, It were to write an article, to point out wherein these views may be subverted, and a volume to illustrate the different interpretations given to this sealed book ; but the time approacheth when " it will become manifest that, during the Christian dispensation, all things, both in the Church and in the world, have been in like manner ordered according to the determinate counsel and foreknowledge of God ; and that the kingdom of Providence and the kingdom of Grace are under the same sceptre." Our command is, to " search the scriptures." " The Eighteenth Century" will be read with much interest, lively as it is in anecdote, and spark ling at times in wit; and when, in connexion, we turn to that important and touching biography, so ably handled in the present volume, the " Duchess of Angouleme," and read there the graphic picture of the first revolution, and the state of morals in the kingdom, we can well enter into the words of the writer—it might be of both articles—when speak ing of the vices and follies of that age—" We can not but see that France is still writhing in the throes of that tremendous struggle. The crimes of the eighteenth century are not even yet expiated— now that another age has more than half passed ; nor dare we look forward with much hope to any speedy reestablishment of peace in that country." And having referred to her whose lot was cast in such troublous times—the Duchess d'Angouleme, whose life was one of bitterness, and early one of sorrow—of whom the writer justly observes, " the death of her youth had been in one revolutionary republic • the death of her age was in another"— we are led to quote a graphic and truthful descrip tion of a class in France ever thirsting for blood and spoil !—" Their very existence is considered fabulous till they are seen in fierce action, and their manner of life and place of refuge are a mystery. They are peculiar in the terrible nature of their aspect and the fiendish character of their crimes. In every public commotion they suddenly appear upon the scene as if by magic, and when it is over melt away like a mist. These are the miscreants by whom the excesses are committed which political adventurers in France deem to be necessary for their aggrandisement, and before whom peaceable men stand awe-struck. They are mentioned by the writers of the time a: giving a peculiar characteristic to the events of the first revolution ; and all who have recorded the eme"tes and revolutions which have convulsed the French metropolis,"the Protes tant massacres in the South, or the more recent outrages of the socialistic bands in the provinces, agree so completely in their description of the chief actors, that it might almost seem as though they formed a distinct family, with a peculiar hereditary capacity for crime, and a prescriptive right to commit it in its worst forms." . . . In connexion with this class of " ferocious crimi nals," the writer has the following pertinent re marks—" It is not a twelvemonth since they were witnessed in France; and whatever may be the sin 1 of Lotlig N2,Cinil Oh the 'score of amLiiion, society owes him much for the energy with which he crushed the spirit that was abroad. He crushed that spirit by the exercise of what is called a despotic policy' ; but it is the only policy that is good for France, and her past history proves it. Her people clamour for liberty, but they do not understand its real meaning : they are utterly inca- pable of self-government ; and if they break the thraldom of a despotic monarchy, it is only to fall under the greater tyranny of the lawless leader of a still more lawless mob. These propositions are sufficiently proved by the fact that the miseries of France have arisen from the oppression exercised by a bold and guilty few over the inactive many." We have left ourselves but little space to speak of Dante, whose life is written with much elegance; or of Chalmers, to whom a closing tribute is paid; or of Jeffrey, who comes before us less as the man than as the litterateur, and to whose exertions in the conduct of the Edinburgh Review a graceful compliment is rendered,—the more sincere, as the politics and religious principles of these magazines are so opposed to one another. We can only name the remaining articles, which will repay careful perusal—the " History of the Inquisition," " Lord Derby and Lord Russell," " Guizot on Immorta lity," " Mary of England, Queen of France," and last, not least, " Mr. Thackeray and his Ethics." But the value of this review does not stop here : we find some sxcellent matter under the modest heading, " Notices of Books," The Rookeries of London : Past, Present, and Pro spective. By Thomas Beames, M.A. Second Edition. London : Bosworth. _ The task of examining into, and making public, the history of those congeries of human dwellings known only in great cities, and in London specially designated as "rookeries," has often been under taken by men of various tastes, characters, and objects : the feuilleto n iste, for the purpose olfeed ing the morbid appetites of the uneducated—the caricaturist, for subjects for his comic pencil—and sometimes, but too rarely, by the minister of reli gion and the philanthropist, cheered on by the hope of saving men from those dungeons of vice and misery. This task has, however, been under taken and nobly carr i e d out by rM . Beames, as this volume will testify. He has entered into the abodes of the " rookeries," and chronicled his account of the causes, effects, and probable reme dies, both as a statist and a religionist •' and we strong ly recommend his account t o th e attention of all who feel an interest in man's moral, social, and spiritual advancement.

GARSTON DOCK AND ITS RAILWAYS• SOME few years ago one of the most unprofitable con cerns in the kingdom was the St. Helens and Runcorn Gap Railway. Its shares were almost valueless in the market. Perseverance and tact, however, will generally suffice to rescue even apparently desperate undertakings from utter failure ; and, in the case of this railway, they have succeeded to an extent which ought to encourage the directories of other railways, similarly situated, to put forth their energies as that of the St. Helens Railway have The original £lOO shares of the company, which we have already said were at one time nearly worthless, are now quoted in the market at £75 to £76, with every probability of an increase in value. The first step to this improvement was the amalgamation of the Railway with the St. Helen's Canal, by which both undertakings were relieved from the evils of an unprofitable competition. The next step was an improvement of the inclined planes on the old line. Not content, however, with merely perfecting their old line, from the St. Helens coal field to Widness—their port of shipment opposite Runcorn—the directors, about five years ago, sought for and obtained powers to construct a line, of about seven miles in length, to Garston, and to construct a dock there upon the best principles for the shipment of coals in sea-going vessels ; and have also fortified their position by a branch joining the Altrincham line at Warrington, and by arrangements with the London and North-western Rail way, by means of which they will have easy access not only to the Wigan coal field, but also to the principal seats of the Lancashire cotton manufacture. On Friday last we were favoured with an invitation to view the works upon the line, in company with a party of the shareholders in Liverpool and St. Helens; and a few particulars may, perhaps, be interesting to our readers. Leaving the old Garston road at the point near the Aigburth Hotel where it winds in an easterly direction to the village, a new road has been constructed almost direct to the east side of the Salt Works. Westward of this road to the river side, extending nearly a mile, the whole of the land has been purchased by the Company for the ' purpose of forming upon it the necessary sidings for keeping a large supply of coal in waggons, ready for ship ment, and for the erection of the necessary offices, &c. Several other judicious purchases of land, in the locality, have been made by the directors, portions of which have been resold at a considerable profit. The Dock itself, however, is the principal object of attraction here ; and, although it has besn previously described, we shall now give its dimensions, and the state of the works : The Garston Dock is situated a little to the north of the Salt Works, and is 360 yards long by 90 yards broad in the middle, the ends being of irregular formation, in or der to give as much berthing space as possible. The water acreage is 6a. Or. 23p., or nearly as much as the Prince's Dock of Liverpool. It is to be excavated to a depth of 9 feet below the old dock sill ; and from the bottom of the quay wall the height is 34 feet. The entrances are by two gates ; one being 50 feet in width, and excavated 6 feet below the old dock sill, and the other, which is intended to admit small craft at all periods of the tide, 20 feet wide. Wharfs are being formed all round, with quays 100 feet in width, upon a portion of which it is contemplated that warehouses shall be erected. On the east side of the dock four staiths for coal will in the first instance be erected. These will communicate with branches of the railway, which is carried on a high level ; and machinery will be erected for lowering the waggons to the ship's deck, from which the coals will be " end tipped" into the hold. About four-fifths of the work of excavation, &c., are already completed, although on the first of January, 1851, not £2OO had been expended. The quay walling is of the most substantial character, as also is the dock walling. The cost has been materially lightened by the fact that, with the exception of about 20 blocks of limestone, the whole has been formed from the red rock cut out of the dock itself. It is confidently ex pected that the entire undertaking will be in full working order before the close of the present year. Leaving Garston, we proceed to the Railway Station, which is at present at the bridge crossing the road which leads from the village to the Salt Works. A more delight. ful ride than that from the point in question to Widness, the present port of shipment for the St. Helen's coal, it is impossible to conceive. Nearly the whole of the dis tance, we have the broad expanse of the Mersey, and the opposite shore of Cheshire in view, with the Welsh mountains in the distance ; and, on the landward side, the scenery is diversified and beautiful. Already, little as we in Liverpool have thought of this line, it has a traffic of SOO passengers per week, notwithstanding the discomfort of parties bound for Liverpool having to be transferred to omnibuses at Aigburth. When the Altrincham Junction is completed, there can be no doubt that this traffic will be increased. From St. Helen's to the Liverpool and Manchester Railway and to Runcorn the passengers are now 6000 weekly. There can be little doubt also, that the facilities afforded at the port of Garston will not only attract a large coal trade there, but divert a considerable amount of traffic between Liverpool and the manufacturing districts from its present channels. If this resuit be accomplished to anything like the extent which the directors and shareholders contem plate, the property in the railway, canal, and dock must become one of the most valuable in the kingdom. We cannot conclude this short description, without according our thanks to the secretary, Mr. Sinclair, and Mr. Court, the engineer of the works, for their kind attention, and the information afforded by them, during the trip on Friday ; and we may also remark that the impression made upon the shareholders present on the occasion was most satisfactory. THE NEW CRYSTAL PALACE. The first column of this marvellous structure will be raised on Thursday next by Mr. Laing, M. P., the chair man of the Crystal Palace Company. The preliminaries for carrying out thoroughlythe comprehensive design have been concluded, and a thousand hands are already at work, that faith may be kept and the building thrown open to the public on the Ist of May, 1853. The site chosen for the re-erection of the Crystal Palace is an irregular parallelogram of 300 acres, extending from the Brighton Railway, where it has a frontage of 1,300 feet ; between the Sydenham and the Annerley stations, to the road which borders the top of Dulwich wood, where it has a frontage towards the road of 3,000 feet. The fall from this point to the Brighton Railway is 200 feet. It was at once felt that the only position for the new building was on the summit of this hill, and immediately adjoining the road. The building, placed in this commanding posi tion. will be visible from London on the one side, and from a vast extent of country on the other. In conse quence of the rapid fall of the ground an additional story became necessary on the park front of the building; and this will remedy a defect universally felt in the old build ing, namely, the little elevation of the front. As regards the contents of the building, the whole of the sides of the nave, transepts, and the divisions on either side between the several courts will be lined with the plants and trees of every clime, interspersed with statues and works of art. On the north-east side of the building will be arranged the historical galleries of sculpture and architecture, with casts of the finest works of sculpture, and portions of buildings of ancient art. On the south-east side will be displayed similar collections of mediaeval art, while in the north and south-west portions of the building, as well as the whole of a 24 feet gallery round the building, will be devoted to the purposes of exhibition. The machinery will be placed in the lower story on the park side, in a gantry 24 feet wide, extending the whole length of the buildint. Outside, the decorations will have reference to the fur nishing of the interior. The ends of the building will extend into large wings projecting a considerable distance forward into the grounds, and encompassing terrace-gar. dens which themselves occupy more than 30 acres. At tached to one of the glass wings will be the railway sta tion, so arranged that persons descending from tile railway carriages are at once introduced to the palace by the wing. These wings will be terminated with grand glass towers, from which will be obtained extensive views of the gardens, fountains, and grounds, and also distance. a view of the surrounding country to a very gat Beyond the terrace gardens, which will be adorned with fountains and statuary, Sir Joseph Paxton has under taken to carry out a design for waterworks, temples, and statuary, in forms and on a scale hitherto unknown. Two of the jets which he has in hand will rise to a height of 200 feet, and will form the main object of interest from the glass towers already spoken of. Sir Joseph has also in preparation an unequalled collection of hardy and half-hardy plants, and an illustrative series explanatory of the natural and Linnvean systems of botany. He has al ready secured for the Crystal Palace Company the magni ficent collection of palms and other choice plants brought together during the past century by the Messrs. Lod dridges, specimens hitherto unrivalled in Europe. and is daily adding to the number of his treasures by other spe cimens purchased from well-known collectors, or con ferred upon him as gifts. MELANCHOLY DEATH OF A LADY BY FIRE. On Saturday an inquest was taken by Mr. W. Baker. deputy coroner, at the Ship and Royal Oak, Wapping-wall, Lon don, on view of the body of Miss Louisa Levick, aged 27, niece of Mr. S-rle, the extensive importer of Portland stone, No. 74, Wapping-wall, who was burnt to death in consequence of her clothes being ignited by turpentine, which she was preparing on a fire, for an embrocation. Verdict—Accidental death. A MODEL STEAM-PACKET.—We are credibly informed that one of the most modern and expensively-built steam_ packets, called after one of the great routes to Australia, achieves the very wonderful speed of nine knots an hpur, by an expenditure of about 80 tons of coals per diem. We frequently hear the most bitter reproaches cast against the steamers of the Royal navy for their slow speed and expensive working, but we hear little o f the failures of public mail companies, who are paid excessively,-9th the understanding that the public work is done ezPed;tWasly. .—United Service Gazette. THE CONTEMPLATED MARRIAGE OF LOUIS NAPOLEON. _._....-- The late exhibition at Strasburg, the rapid excur sion to Baden, the triumphal entry of Louis Napo leon into Paris, where he was received with all the homage that the army and the clergy could pay to a victorious chief, are probably the precursors and the foretaste of events and ceremonies more directly calculated to exalt his personal dignity and to con solidate his power. 'We believe the real object of the Baden journey was to bring to a close by a per sonal interview the negotiation which had for some time been pending for the marriage of Louis Napo leon with the Princess of Vasa ; and if any symbo lical meaning is to be attributed to the bridge thrown over the Rhine by the French army, we hope that it implies no more than a closer connex ion between the head of the French government and the family which reigns on the opposite shore, who are already some of Louis Napoleon's nearest relations. The Dowager Grand Duchess Stephanie, of Baden, was the eldest daughter of the last Count de Beauharnais, a member of the family of the Em press Josephine's first husband, and adopted as such by Napoleon. She was married in 1806 to the Grand Duke of Baden, who became in consequence one of the German Princes most devoted to the in fluence of France in the Confederation of the Rhine. It is to a granddaughter of the Grand Duchess Ste phanie that the matrimonial views of Louis Napo leon have been turned ; for her eldest daughter married Gustavus, Prince of Wasa, son of Gustavus IV., ex-King of Sweden, and the issue of this mar riage is now the Princess Caroline of \Vasa, a lady of whom report speaks most favourably, and who will complete her 19th year on the sth of August next. She is consequently related to-Louis Napo leon by the Beauharnais family, and descended by her father's side from the legitimate, though now dethroned, Royal family of Sweden. The Prince of Wasa, her father, commands a regiment in the Austrian service; but the family is connected byits intermarriages with several of the reigning houses of Europe. Such an alliance would seem, there fore, to be both politic and suitable to the present position and the future views of the Prince Presi dent, and we understand that the interview which recently took place at Baden between the high con tracting parties was so encouraging that the Prin cess immediately applied herself to master the te nets of the Roman Catholic faith, having hitherto professed the Lutheran creed, in order that she may be received into the bosom of that church of which Louis Napoleon is so exemplary a member. It is, therefore, not improbable that among the ceremonies which will contribute during this present summer to the diversion of the French people, a wedding will take place ; and the world may specu late on the effect of such a marriage upon the pro clamation of the Empire, and the revival of all the pretensions of the Bonapartist dynasty. Certain it is that no internal obstacle or impediment will inter fere with the assumption of any title or rank Louis Napoleon may think fit to adopt, and, as to his power, that is already entire and absolute. For our selves, speaking with a view to the general interests of this country and of Europe, such a change would appear to be a matter of indifference; for what sig nifies a new fashion in the trappings of a Court after the dismal change from freedom to servitude has been accomplished and endured by the nation ? Neither is it material whether the marriage precedes the Empire, or the Empire the marriage, or by what road Louis Napoleon and his adherents attain the transcendant honours of a Papal coronation. But it is by no means equally clear that this series of events will be looked upon with indifference by the conti nental powers. The marriage of Louis Napoleon would obviously be the most important step to the establishment of an hereditary power in France, and such a power would ere long, and perhaps imme diately, place itself on an imperial throne. To recognise such a power, with all its hereditary claims, is to surrender the principles of legitimate monarchy still professed by the northern Courts of Europe ; to refuse to recognise it is at once to afford to that power a pretext for any undertaking it may meditate against the security of the continent. — Times. THE ELECTIONS. MR. CARDWELL, it is reported, will be nominated for Oldham, the decease of Mr. Duncuft having created a vacancy in the representation of that town. MR. MACAULAY, who was to have been in Edinburgh on Tuesday last, is so ill of a chest complaint that he has been forbidden to visit Edinburgh at present. Mr. Ma caulay-has been residing for some weeks past at Bristol. MR. ARMSTRONG, M.P.—A report is very prevalent in the town that Mr. Armstrong intends, on taking his seat, to accept the Chiltern Hundreds, and risk a new election. It will probably appear that Mr. Armstrong is well ad vised in taking the step which report says he is about to adopt.—Lancaster Gazette. THE REPRESENTATION OF PETERBOROUGH.—We are informed, on the authority of a private letter, that the Hon. Richard Watson, the lately elected M.P. for Peter borough, in the room of Mr. W. Cavendish, died on Sa turday last at Homburg, after an illness of only four days. —Times.

THE GENERAL ELECTION.—The whole of the elections being completed, with the exception of Orkney, which place will in all probability return a ministerialist, we give a corrected list of the rerurns. By this list it will be seen that Government have a considerable majority—a majority as large, as it was said some years ago, any ministry would ever have with the reformed House of Commons, viz., a majority of 56 by the returns of Great Britain, diminished only by thirteen from the Irish returns, notmithstanding the unparalleled and audacious conduct of the Irish priests, which cannot fail to be taken notice of by parliament.— Morning Herald.

ROYAL AMPHITHEATRE. — During the past week the performances have been chiefly melodramatic and extra vaganzas. with a closing ballet. As we were only once tempted there, to see Miss M. A. Marshall's debut here, we cannot report further than on that occasion. We saw the closing part of the last act of the " Foundling of the Forest," one of Dimond's romantic dramas, and " Captain Charlotte," written by Mr. E. Stirling. The former was a lifeless performance, the latter too extravagant to pro duce anything but laughter; and as we went resolved to enjoy an hour's fun, we shall not be severe upon the piece. We recognised, however, a translation and abridgment of a better piece performed some time ago at Naples. Miss Marshall gave a lively interpretation to the character, throughout its mazy and awkwardly unnatural course ; she looked, too, the Parisian Grisette to the very life, and though her performance was rough and far from faultless, it was still a good specimen of acting in that peculiar " line." ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—The weather has been most propitious, and the public, accordingly, have been liberally patronising this place of amusement. A dramatic com pany has been followed by a corps de ballet, of about the same intrinsic quality. The ballet of action, which fol lowed the extraordinary feats of strength by llenrico, gave perfect satisfaction to the large multitude who filled the " hall of nations," but Terpsichore must have been little flattered by this homage. The fireworks which fol lowed were above all praise —Paris, so very faithfully de picted, was most brilliantly lit up, and the closing tableau was most magnificent. • THE TEETOTALLERS OF SOUTH DURHANI,—A poor woman near the King's Head Hotel, at the time when Mr. Farrer was being so grossly insulted by a few leading teetotallers, expressed her determination to " drink beer all her life, if water made them that daft."--Durham Advertiser. -•- THE — ROYAL COLLEGE OF PHYSICIANS.—The Royal College of Physicians has received a new charter, by the provisions of which some important changes are intro duced into its constitution. Its desig na tion is changed from that of " Royal College of Physicians of London" to that .of '" England," and its "licentiates" no longer so termed, 'but " members." All medical practitioners will be eligible to its membership who possess the degree of " M.D." from any university in the United Kingdom, or have received-licence to practise from the: Universities of Oxford or Cambridge, Dublin or Edinburgh and, under certain conditious, medical practitioners who• ex. ceed forty years of age,aal are in practice.-: COURT AND FASHION Tur.

MARRIAGE IN HIGH LIFE.—On Saturday last, the marriage was solemnised between Captain Lowther, M.P., First Life Guards, and Miss Caulfeild, eldest daughter of St. George Caulfeild, Esq., and the Hon.

The bride was attended by twelve bridesmaids, who were similarly attired in white dresses and scarfs, Green sashes, and white bonnets, trimmed with hops. The bride's dress was composed of white silk. covered with Brussels lace, a wreath of orange owers, and a mag nificent Brussels lace veil. DEATH OF THE HON. Wax. ROBERT BURRELL gentleman, only surviving brother of Lord Willoughby de Eresby, expired on Tuesday last, at Calais, after a lengthened illness, in his 6-Ith year.

Sir John Wentworth Loring, born 13th October, 1775, in America, was son of the late Joshua Loring, E,Eq., permanent high sheriff of the province of Massachussets previously to the transatlantic War of Independence. s career FASHIONS FOR AUGUST. (Front Le Follet.) The excessive heat of the weather has given a new ap pearance to the costume of the Parisiennes, who would now pass for natives of Sicily, the borders ot the Ganges, Guadalquiver, or the Arno; and far from losing any of the style or taste for which their nation is noted, their beauty is but increased by the charming costumes now adopted. White predominates, both for ladies and children's dresses—and, by-the-way, it is indispensable to procure one of the new under-skirts, styled the jupe-balloon, which quite supersedes the crenoline formerly employed, and is made either in white or black. Whilst we deprecate the monstrous fashion of appearing like a sailing balloon, we cannot but rejoice to see the happy medium ; for, to our minds, it is equally unbecoming to see a lady in a dress hanging so as to hide the beauty of the material, and give an inelegance to the figure. Almost all robes of light materials—such as barege, silk gauze, grenadine, muslin, printed organdi, and figured tarletane—have the bodies made high, and drawn at the waist and shoulders in front, rith plain backs. The waists are round. The skirts are trimmed with flounces, which are made one breadth wider than the skirt. White tarletane is much worn, and the following style greatly admired :—A white tarletane skirt, with five bouil lonnes, through each of which is passed a pink ribbon, with flat bows on each edge of the front breadth, forming an apron. The body very low, gathered at the waist into a round band, and fastened with a narrow pink band, with flat bow in the front. A small fichu is worn over the body. This toilette may be worn for out-door costume by adding a mantle of tarletane, with simple scolloped frills, sur rounded by a bouillonne over pink ribbon. The hood is composed of a bouillonne and a pink bow. A Louis XV. bonnet of pink tulle, blonde, pink ribbon, and curled pink and white feathers. Lace preserves its superiority. The Chantilly shawl, or the lace mante, with hood encircled with a ruche of lace, points out the lady of good taste and large fortune. It is more in harmony with the silk robe than over tarle tane or muslin ; however, some of our 616gantes may be seen in embroidered muslin peignors, covered with shawls of English or Chantilly lace. The rich cacbemires, embroidered with gold, have equally the seal of distinction. Among the most elegant toilettes destined for the sea side we must mention the following :—A robe of lilac grenadine, trimmed with five flounces formed of wide lilac and white gauze ribbon, the white part being of a kind of guipe or lace ; they are placed in rows of three, at about seven or eight inches between each division. The body is quite low, and worn with a lace canezou, the pagodes sleeves of which are raised in front, above the elbow, by a bow of the same ribbon as the flounces, but much narrower. Three papillons bows on the front of the body, between the edges of the canezou, which is very open on the chest, and has no trimming beyond the beau tiful designs of the lace. A coiffure, composed of two cords of Parma shaded violets. The two cords are in tended to separate the bandeaux into two parts, then descend behind the ears, and be attached beneath the back hair. _ _ _ . . . A rose-leaf green bar4e, with white daisies and shadel leaves, embroidered in silk ; five flounces, slightly undu lated and trimmed with a wreath of small daisies and leaves. The body drawn at the waist, round which is worn a broad ribbon, plaited so as to make it very nar row round the waist; a large bow is placed on the side. The top of the body is trimmed with a wreath. A plain tulle guipure, finished with a narrow tulle ruche. This guipure is only half-high, and gives the dress the cha racter of a demi-soiree. The sleeves are very short, and covered with three narrow frills. The coiffure is com posed of coques of white and pink gauze ribbon, forming a half wreath, placed quite low at the back of the hair, and raised on each side with bunches of floating ends. This style of coiffure is very becoming with a plait of hair brought forward in front over the bandeaux. Pale colours are still worn for mantles ; but pink, blue, or white are the most fashionable : dark colours and black are more usual for promenade. The Marion de Lorme is made of brown taffetas, or violet and black glace, with bands of moire and Chantilly lace. It is very full, and forms a round, the elegance of which is impossible to describe. The mantelet Pompa dour is embroidered with bows of very narrow ribbon. With the mantilles and mantelets of all descriptions, fashion has brought into vogue the small shawls, which, whilst they are simple and pretty, are very comfortable. They are composed of a square of taffetas, plain cache mire, grenadine, tulle, or muslin, with a deep fringe, gui pure, or lightly-gathered lace. To give an idea, we will cite a shawl of lilac and white glace, trimmed with an Eng lish lace about a quarter of a yard in width, placed flat, and gathered round the four corners with a heading of narrow ribbon, to hide the hem and fasten the lace. Another, of green and black taffetas, with a Chantilly border, placed quite flat, and forming the angles of the shawl. _ _ _ . _ _ _The Bayadere shawl must not be overlooked ; the ground is white, with stripes of light-coloured satin, some very narrow, others serpentining in wreaths of coloured or white flowers. DR.PUSEY AND THE MASTER OF THE ROLLS ..---..,111.1...-.- The following correspondence has passed between Sir John Romilly and Dr. Pusey since Dr. Pusey's letter, which appeared in the Liverpool Standard of Tuesday last : TO THE REV. DR. PESEY. SlR,—The words you refer to formed part of an an swer sent by me to an application from an Association of persons at Devonport for my opinion in writing on the subject of certain Resolutions passed by them, and which answer was published by them. These words correctly express my opinions. I decline to take either the first or second course suggested by you. With respect to the third, I deny that these words imputed, or that they were intended to impute, to yourself or to your friends that your or that their doctrines are not open or avowed. I am, Sir, your obedient servant, July 23. JOHN ROMILLY. TO THE RIGHT HON. SIR JOHN ROMILLY, MASTER OF THE ROLLS. Sin,,—You will not have been surprised that, when you contrasted my friends and myself with ` open and avowed Roman Catholics,' I should have interpreted those words as conveying an imputation of dishonesty, under which it is of the utmost moment to religion itself and the wellbeing of our church and people that none of its clergy should lie. The like imputations have unhappily been too com mon, and must do harm to the morals and faith of the people. Your own name, character, and office seemed likely to give the more weight to them. It was on this ground that I appealed to you to bring the matter to a fair, full, and formal issue. I hoped that the honesty and justice of Englishmen would prevent their renewing indefinite charges when they had been met by a plain offer to bring them to a definite result. As you now deny any intention of imputing to my friends or myself that our doctrines are not open and avowed,' I may beg as publicly to assure you that 1 gladly accept your statement. Christ Church, Juiy 27 Your humble servant, E. B. PUSEY As SOME WORKMEN a few days since were excavating at Balliol College for the new buildings, a jug or urn, of potter's clay, was dug up.

BEN'EDETT " PRAY, Silt," said the commissioner to an insolvent brought up to be discharged on his petition, " how could you wilfully, and with your eyes open, contract such a number of debts without any visible means of paying them ?" "My Lord," said the petitioner, " you labour under a great mistake—l never in my life wilfully con tracted a debt ; on the contrary, I have invariably done everything to enlarge it !" _ _ THE AMERICAN LANGUAGE.—in Englishman pe rusing an American newspaper, exclaimed impatiently, on noticing some of Webster's orthographical improvements, " These people ought to be denied the use of the English language, if they cannot treat it better." " English lan guage ?" echoed a Yankee, without removing the cigar from between his teeth, " guess you're mistaken, boss; it's the American language." " American ?" repeated the wondering Englishman. " Guess it's that," said Jonathan, coolly, " we've annexed it." COFFEE.—Choose the coffee of a very nice brown co lour, but not black (which would denote that it is burnt, and impart a bitter flavour); grind it at home, if possi ble, as you may then depend upon the quality ; if ground in any quantity, keep it in a jar, hermetically sealed. Pat two ounces of ground coffee into a stew-pan, which set upon the fire, stirring the powder round with a spoon until quite hot, when pour over a pint of boiling water; cover over closely for five minutes, when pass it through a cloth, warm again and serve.— Soyer. A TOAST APROPOS OF BACHELORS.—OId bachelors: unproductive consumers ; scissors with but one blade ; odd gloves ; fractional quantities that are never found in the multiplication table ; beaux without fiddles ; irregular substantives, always in the singular number and objective case ; unruly scholars, who, when ordered to conjugate, always decline ; their only recommendation is that, like the Shakers, they take no pains to perpetuate their own dismal fraternity ; if there be any such in Winchester, may they speedily fall victims to a matrimonial epidemic, and thus become integral parts, whole numbers, in our flourishing town. How HAPPINESS MAY BE ATTAINED.—There is one way of attaining what we may term, if not utter at least, mortal happiness,—it is this, a sincere and unrelaxing activity for the happiness of others. In that one maxim is concentrated whatever is noble in morality, sublime in religion, or unanswerable in truth. In that pursuit we have all scope for whatever is excellent in our hearts, and none for the petty passions which our nature is heir to. Thus engaged, whatever be our errors there will be nobi lity, not weakness, in our remorse ; whatever be our fail ure, virtue not selfishness in our regret ; and, in success, vanity itself will become holy and triumph eternal.— Bulwer. THE FLEMISH CLOTHIERS IN VSTAEES.—" The settee Comuni, a small German colony established, beyond the reach of historical documents, in the North of Italy, the Greeks of Piana dei Greci, near Palermo, the Flemish clothiers in Wales, settled there for many centuries, all retain dialects, more or less impure, of their mother tongue, and afford some of the many proofs which might be brought, how difficult it is to root out any language." —Cardinal Wiseman's Lectures, p. 20I.—Can any of your Welsh readers inform me in what part of Wales the Flemish clothiers established themselves, and when ? And do their descendants still inhabit that locality ? If they do, is their language or dialect distinct from the Welsh, or is it mixed with it, and yet distinguishable ? F. M. in Notes and Queries. THE Two LtvEs.—Beautiful is old age—beautiful as the slow-dropping mellow autumn of a rich glorious sum mer. In the old man, nature has fulfilled her work ; she loads him with her blessings; she fills him with the fruits of a well-spent life ; and, surrounded by his children and his children's children, she rocks him softly away to a grave, to which he is followed with blessings. God for bid we should not call it beautiful, but not the most beau tiful. There is another life, hard, rough, and thorny, trodden with bleeding feet and aching brow ; the life of which the cross is the symbol ; a battle which no peace follows this side the grave; which the grave gapes to finish, before the victory is won ; and—strange that it should be so—this is the highest life of man. Look back along the great names of history ; there is none whose life has been other than this. — Westminster Review. THE tURMESE.—As we are now at war with these strange people, the following will be read with interest : The people have a Chinese cast of feature, and obviously are to be reckoned among the Hindu-Chinese nations. The men are of low stature, but athletic and active, long preserving a youthful appearance, because, instead of shav ing, they pluck the hair from their faces. The women are fairer, but less delicately formed than the Hindus, Both sexes blacken the teeth, and the lids and lashes of the eye. They are comparatively an uncleanly race; and. though to kill domesticated animals is forbidden, game is eagerly sought for as food by the rich, and all kinds of reptiles by the poor. If a strange: happens to shoot a fat bullock, they are not, like some in India, fanatical enough to revenge the offence. Indeed, tho' a vain, presuming people, encouraged by the example of their rulers to arrogance and barbarian pride, their demeanour is far from insolent or supercilious. Some travellers have erroneously described them as rude in manners, because they do not rise from their seats on the approach of a stranger, but among them the sitting posture is considered most respectful. In their mode of living a general simplicity prevails, their habitations being slight structures of bambus and mats, with a thatch of leaves, raised on posts three or four feet from the ground. No subject is permitted to employ any gilding in the de coration of his house, and only a few favourites are allowed to paint or lacquer the pillars. The king reserves as his own prerogative the use of these ornaments. Everything appertaining to him has the word " shoe" or " gold" pre fixed to it. Even his person is never mentioned except in conjunction with the imperial metal. When the petition of a subject has been transmitted to his majesty, "it has reached the golden ears ;" when audience is granted, you have been "at the golden feet ;" attar of roses is " grateful to the golden nose." Gold, therefore, is of too exalted a quality to be commonly used, and only very rich women wear ornaments of it, while none but a highly-privileged noble can put rings of it into his ears, From this it may be imagined that the pride of rank in Birmah runs some what high. A chief journeying on the river will not sit in the same vessel with the oarsmen, who there go ahead in a boat, and tow his barge along. Neither will he enter the habitation of an inferior man, but sends servants on in advance of him, to build a house for his reception. A few bambus, a little grass, and some pliant rattans, are all the materials required ; not a nail is used, and the whole might fall without injuring a lap-dog. Formerly. however, as many ruins remain to testify, masonry was well understood by the Burmese ; but wooden buildings now supersede all others, and the degeneracy of the useful arts has followed the decay of the people. There are three important per sonages, or " estates of the realm," in Birmah. The first is the king ; the second, is the white elephant ; the third, is the queen. To the white elephant all presents from fo reign ambassadors are made. The one seen by Captain Canning was a small animal of a sandy colour, apparently deceased. His residence is contiguous to the royal palace. and consists of a lofty hall, hung with velvet curtains, and supported by gilded pillars. His fore feet are secured by silver chains to two posts, and his hinder feet by links of a baser metal. Thick soft mattresses, covered with blue cloth and crimson silk, serve him as a bed ; his body is adorned with trappings of cloth of gold, studded with dia monds, sapphires, and rubies; his feeding-trough is equally rich ; and a thousand attendants wait upon him. This extraordinary custom originates in the belief that a white elephant is the last stage o f a human soul, in millions of transmigrations, after which the spirit is absorbed in the essence of divinity, to enjoy the pure beatitude of heaven. " Lord of the White Elephant, and of all the Elephants in the world," is one of the king's titles, and he is actually lord over all the elephants in Birmah, since no one but a noble, privileged by the sovereign, is permitted to possess or employ one of these animals. The king, the queen, and the white elephant dwell at Amarapura, or the city of the Immortals, built on the shores of a deep and extensive lake, enclosed by a curving sweep of hills, and embosomed amid scenery the most fresh and picturesque. It is re paltd7ltotob e strong vast treasures, and its fortifications are s g ; but there is no doubt of their easy re. duction by an English force. The principal defence of the country, indeed, is the heat of its climate ' • for this, though salubrious to the na ti ves , i s f orm id a bl e to Europeans, compelled to expose them se l ves i n th e sun . Otherwise, as we have said,Birmah is healthy, among its hills may be found spots with an atmosphere as genial as that of the pleasant valleys lately discov ere d i n th e Hi ma l a y a , Sharpe'sMa,gasine.
