The hope was confidently indulged in that we bad passed the commercial crisis, and that we would hear of no more Bank failures. But such bores are dashed to the ground. Yesterday, it was announced that the Wolverhampton and Stafford shire Banking Company had suspended pay ment. \\haat the liabilities are we are not at present in a position to state, but that they are large, there is every reason to believe. It is feared that this failure will cause a moat disastrous panic in the iron trade of the Midland districts. Already it is said that a number of houses have already failed, and that others are expected to follow immediately. In Scotland, the panic may bi said to have died away, and in Ire land, commercial cre.diti unsh3.l:en. Sueb,hewever, cannot be said of the affairs of the Continent, but our readers will find a full resume of all matters connected with monetary and Commercial affairs under the proper head. We may mention, however, that discussions are beginning to be heard as to the prospect of a rise in the rate of discount beyond .10 per cent , in the event of the demand continuieg active, and causing the metallic stock of the Bank to be trenched upon to any further impor tant extent. It is pointed out that the Government Letter merely expresses the opinion of ministers that " the Bank's terms of discount should not be reduced below their present rate," so long as the extra issue of notes con tines afloat, and that the maximum, rate is lett to the discretion of the Bank. As impartial recorders we are br,und to report these views, but must express a hope that the directors will not., unless upon very strong grounds, adopt a step so calculated to revive the feeling of uncertainty in the money market as a further rise in the rate of discount. Meanwhile, the knowledge that, owing to the suspension of the Act, there is u perfectly unli mited supply of money forthcoming on " approved securities" ought to suffice to calm the public mind. We regret to observe that the reports from the great centres of manufacturing inthtstry in the north of Engetred are gloomy. ahoy of the mille and factories are running on short time and half time, .and seine have stopped altogether. The distress ie consequence is general and deep, and unless things tukc a favourable taste, of which known facts hold out little prospec, a 1, , (3 - 37 gloomy winter is before the country. . . The disgraceful niisturbanees at Lurgan appear to have arisen from the opposition of the operatives to the introduction of power loom weaving. On Sunday -a large number of mill operatives assembled oundde of the town of Lur gan, at a plane called Shane hill, They were addressed by Some leaders of their body, and the feeling of the meeting was strongly ex pressed in favour of a rise in wages, and of some movement for, putting down the stcam-loom facto lies. The la;_tet. was the chief topic of commentary by the spealon s who harangued the assemblage. From Shane-hil the crowd inar3bed into Lurgan, their min - 11)01 , s o act proceedel, so much se, that on the body reaching the town it was swelled to the extent of frona ten to fiqeen liwo.:sred.

Here they were addressed by a number of stump-orators, whose sole cry was ` 4 Put down steam 'the force of the constabulary in Lurgan is ten men, including the head-constable, The mob, after being harangued at the market house, proceeded to the mills of Me. Malcom which immediately adjoined his house. The police had heard of such.an intention, and were at the building he ore them.

H -ad Constable M Carron, dreading some such result as this, got around with his handful of men in the rear of the building, and chargod, the crowd with fixed bayonets. .Numers fell; the nine constables rushed after them, and the folic or five hunired people thud precipitately up the hoe.

The mob divided right and left.; they hemmed in the constables; they used the stones of the street very vigorously. Some constables, it is stated., were knocked down ; and three constables fired off theiz muskets. Shots were also flag out of the I - tout - seg. The mob there upon dispersed, but dto:•ing, their retreat they contrived., however, to nuaash some 500 panes of glass belonging to persons obnoxious to them. Messages were iranidiately forwarded to Belfast, trod a number of the Constabulary belonging to that town, were innne, .lately forwarded to Lurio.. That town at our last advices w ere quiet, b r lit, ,be police patrolled the .streets day and nigh Now that the details of the news from India have been published, and people have had time to digest the various facts and figures contained therein, the exultatiLm which was at first applrent, has, we are sorry to say, - become supplanted by gloomy forebodings. Various are the opinions with respect to the fate of the garrison and the relieving force at Luckn3w. 1113 perilous position of both is now rec ignised on all hands, and the moat hopeful have the greatest possible difficulty to understand from what quarter immediate assist ance can be despatched to reach Havelock and , Outram. Indeed, a London cotemporary thinks that the rciief of Lucknow was a great error. It says —" Judging from private letters sent from Calcutta, we should be disposed to conclude that the last expeiition to relieve the garrison, however much likely to carry with it the sympathy of every Englishman, was, in a military point of view, a great mistake, like the brave charge that took place at Balaclava . . Those who think so say that the Indian authorities should have known the strength of Lucknow, should have computed the forces opposed to Havelock, and should have ju iged whether the terrible Nana Sahib did not wish to inveigle the Cawnpore reinforcements' into Luck now, 80 that he might the more easily secur3 their des ruction. The best hope that can be entet tained- is this, not that our troops and garrison at Lucknow will be saved by the arrival of timely saccour, but that the desperate position in which they are placed, will inspire them with a courage that will enable them to escape." this is bad enough, but if we are to believe the Paris Pays, Lucknow has not been relieved in reality. That paper professes to give a correct account of the state or affairs in Omie at the date of the latest news. According to the Pays the English were not masters of the town of Lucknow, bat only of the citadel, about two kilometers distant. This fortress has been revictualled by General Outraw, who succeeded, after a murderous ! struggle, in putting himself in communication with the besieged-. He is now -shut up within the wals of the place. General Havelock, who com mands the second column, is encamped outside the citadel, on an eminence called Mount Hamak. He is held in check by the insurgent army, 20;000 strong,which is master of the town of Lucknow. In this very serious situation, the English find them selves opposed to a vastly superior force, which intercepts their communications with Cawnpore, the base of their operations.' The Daily News takes another view of the matter. It says :—" Upon all the ordinary rules of strategy —even making,every allowance for the superiority of European over native—the position of the relieving army is one of the er,tremest jeopardy. But there is something in that Rencernbereawnpore ' which has introduced into the chances of the battle-field an element whose force no military science can compute. It is • a watchword whose electric power has fired hearts, and nerved arms with superhuman vigour on the perilous edge of battle '—in every field that has since been fought. The miracles of valour it has wrought have not ceased yet; and we have a firm reliance that it is strong enough still to open a path for safety to the heroic Englishmen and Englishwomen whose fate has so long centred the eager interest of the nation on the gallantly defended Residency of Lucknow. Of domestic news this morning, we have not much of an important character. The inquest on the body of the policeman, found murdered at Stevenage, has resulted in a verdict of wilful murder against Jeremiah Carpenter, who has accordingly beau committed for trial on the capital charge. famishing millions." This advice was most religiously followed, unfortunately. We may here pause, however, to look at the bullion account of this dismal year. Previ ous to the announcement of the famine, the Bank had run down their per centage of cash as low as 2101. at four per cent discount—that is, they had only a fraction over 4s. in the pound in cash against their issue of notes ; and up to this period (April 10, 1847) no alarm was felt, as the low rate of interest proves. Nor do we find any remarkable symptoms of uneasiness about the Bank until the August of that year, when it became generally known that Ireland had lost her food crops, and that England and Scotland had also suffered to a most painful extent. Then the beauties of our bullion system began to show themselves. The facilities our importing mer chants and employers of labour required more than ever were suddenly cut off. The Bank's per centage of cash had dwindled down to 1151., and usurers were demanding eight per cent. for the use of notes which, according to our principles of currency, cu.;ht only to have been taken at a dis count of something like 871- ! " I promise to pay 1,0001. on demand" was only worth 11.5/. in the Bullionist's eyes in those days, and yet they had the bare-faced effrontery to ask a famine-stricken country to pay eight per cent. for their monetary pledges. Our Banking condition has varied very materially since that never-to-be-forgotten year. We have had all sorts of rates -of discount, and the usual amount of fluctuations in prices. To the war, and its sudden suspension, the largest share of the last three years embarrass. ments of trade must be attributed. were lost between the first and last days of the attack, has yet to be told. The loss of life attending General HAvELocK's movements have also to be made known, before we can form any idea as to what the victories he has won are worth, or the chance we have of holding the ground over which so much of our best blood has been shed. It is said that the relief of Lucknow was no sooner effected, and at an immense loss of men, than it was abandoned by the relieving army, whose presence added famine to the other dangers the garrison had to contend against. If there be any truth in this report, four or five hundred men were thrown away in an attempt to save a starving garrison by adding a couple of thousand hungry troops to its number ! Returning to Delhi, we find the remnant of our victorious army broken up, and sent out of a city twelve miles in length, in pur suit of a flying enemy, whose destination and actual strength they knew nothing about. This -5 the exact state of affairs we glean from the last mail from the seat of war in India; and it must be remembered, that it would take at least six weeks to forward anything like adequate re infolcenjents from Calcutta to the scene of hos tilities. In a country where there are no roads, shelter, or provisions, the transport of large bodies of troops, is almost impossible. They must be sent forward in comparatively small drafts. Before the last division of an army of 20.000 men left Calcutta, the advance guard should be within one or two days march of Lucknow. A " Commissioner" might under take such a march with a much larger number, but one-half would be left to perish by the way side—and we would ask, where is Sir COLIN CAMPBELL all this time ? The news from abroad is of no great importance this morning. A Paris letter in the Inde-pendlnec of Brussels contains the curious assertion that recruiting for the English service is busily carried on all over France, that the English re eruiling agents apply themselves particularly to gain over old French soldiers who have served their time, and that the persons enlisted are directed to London, and not to Marseilles. No similar state ment has hitherto reached ourselves from France It is rumoured that the India Government is about to modify, or perhaps abolish, the obstructive passport system. In Denmark the National Council has resolved on introducing a measure to abolish the old trade guilds, and make trade and -manufacture, free. These are both steps in the right direction. If a Turin paper is to be believed, the Neapolitan Government has discovered, or thinks it has discovered, another vast Mazzinbn conspiracy, and it has arrested no less than 400 persons. Mazaird's letters in the Italia del Popola, are said to have furnished the clue to the disco very; but we are at a loss to understand how. Our Banking condition of the present day, however, far surpasses every thing we have wit nessed as yet. After lingering on with panic rates of interest, ranging from 6, 63, and 7 per cent from October, 1856, to June, 1857, we got money at 51e at which it continued to the Octo ber of this year, when it was pushed up to 8 per cent., and, again, at the beginning of this month, when it was raised t) 9, and even 10. When this last and perfectly monstrous figure was decided upon, the Bank's percentage of cash had fallen to SEVENTY•FIVE ! This leaves the " promise to pay on demand," for which we are asked to pay 10 per cent. in trade, worth, according to the Bullionists theory mind, somewhere about Is. 6d. in the pound ! Far be it from us to wish the public to look on this as the actual value of th e Bank of England note. It can never be depreciated so long as it carries with it the Royal prerogative, which declares it to be a legal tender in payment of debts and taxes; and this is the character which should be given to all bank notes issued in the United Kingd nil, the Chancellor of the Exchequer being first satisfied that the public are secured • ot, sAILETtaLC 10,0 1-Py ,r 3,111, (AL"- gible security in the State's coffers, for every note issued. As for the bullion basis scheme, it is a dastardly imposture, and wholly beneath the legislative and commercial morality of the nineteenth century. This article was written with the bullion movements of the Bank of England from 1844 to the last week of 1857, before us, and as the facts it brings to the know ledge of the public cannot be disputed or mys tified, it is to be hoped that the whole currency system will be remodelled, before it explodes in a torrent of popular indignation, or exposes us any further, to the ridicule of the world. A Commander-in-Chief is most assuredly required at the head of the British army in India at this most threatening juncture. The loss of military combination is certainly not telling much in our favour. We are losing all our best Gene rals and most hardy soldiers. One and all of our commanders have performed prodigies of valour ; but something more than fearless intrepidity is wanted where we have an enemy with 100,000,000 of heads, inhabiting a country which presents many insurmountable difficulties to military movements on a large scale. It is in such regions that a knowledge and close adherence to the art of civilised warfare are most needed ; and unless the marching of troops in India be conducted with the greatest skill, it will cost us more lives than all the resistance the mutineers can offer. They have evidently been taking advantage of the smallness of our disposable force, and their flying to such distant places as Cawnpore, Luck now, and Delhi, looks as if they placed a proper value on their diS'ance from the seats of our strength. Drawing off the greater part of our available forces to Delhi left the heart of the country free for a general rising, which appears to have taken place. If this had not occurred, General . l - IAvELocK, would not have had to encoun ter so formidable an enemy before Lucknow. That the disafnetion is spreading in Oude is quite certain. The same thing may be said of the Punjaub, and it is high time that Sir Colas CAMPBELL should take the field. THE Directors of the Bank of England must feel most anxious to throw responsibility off their shoulders, and declare themselves innocent of all the lamentable vicissitudes which follow the periodical failures of our money-laws. The Press cannot render them more effectual aid in this most necessary work than by publishing those statistics which show the practical operation of the system they are called on to administer. The return which appeared in the NORTHERN TIMES of yesterday, exhibiting the actual movements of the Bullion reserves since the passing of the nefarious Bank Charter Act of 1844, the propor tion of cash to the cash liabilities, or promises to "pay on demand," of the Bank, and the fluctuations in the rates of interest, is one of those reliable statements which leaves nothing, unexplained. When the odious Charter Act, which was to give us the utmost banking stability, came into operation in January, 184.5, they held 14,cani ,c ,- ) 1 s-ht-t- ---- ;(11 for every 1,000/. of notes in use, while the rate of discount ranged from 2. to 3 per cent. These were the abnormal, and altogether unnecessarily, low rates of interest which prevailed when the Bank held but very little over ten shillings in bullion against the amount of notes in circula tion. Now, if the framers of the Charter Act and Bullionists were sincere in their demands, they must haVe felt perfectly shocked at the facts dis closed in the first return made by the Bank after the introduction of their darling crotchets. Their "promise to pay on demand" had very little more than ten shillings in the pound to redeem the solemn pledge given to the State and to the people ! Yet the Bank went on through the whole of that year (1845) issuing notes freely, until in December we find their per cent Age of cash run down to 382, and the rate or interest still as low This made money plentifal, and the country, for the first time in our history, was suffered to develope its incalculable productive powers when favoured by peace and cheap money means. Oar exports in this very remarkable commercial year reached the extraordinary amount of 145,000,0001. That gallant and tried soldier was selected for the arduous and honourable duty of command ing her Majesty's forces in India, and the British public will have hut little confidence as regards I the ultimate issue of the desperate struggle until . they see the whole of the European troops in India under one command, and acting together as one man in the execution of some definite plan. At present our Commanders seem to have a common object in view, but they are carrying on their operations without a base to which they can forward information, and look for council and peremptory orders. In the meantime there appears to be no authority to keep the very natural, but no less terrible exas peration of our troops, within human bounds. We profess to believe, that " an eye for an eye" is the utmost limit to which Divine retribution extends ; yet we hear that a life is to be sacrificed in India for every hair which is found on the head of our slain countrywomen and men. This, we trust, in the name of Christianity, is but one of those appalling fables which seasons of bloodshed leave after them. The most savage outrages have been committed by the mutineers, and while we would scorn to palliate them, even among semi -barbarians, who would not shudder at the thought of ten innocent beings suffering, that one guilty monster may be put to death ? This would be reversing the law of God, and of all civilised nations ; and the occurrence of a military revolt, frightful as it really has been in this instance, cannot be urged as an excuse for unnecessary slaughter. Sir CoLIN CAMPBELL, however, carries European feelings and a high Constitutional character with him into the melan choly conflict—and while he upholds the rights, honours, and dignity of the Crown, he will no allow the interests and name of civilisation to be outraged. This is what sober-minded English men look for at his hands, and we feel assured they will not be disappointed in a really great soldier, whose bravery is not obscured by ferocity, and whose dogged chivalry in the face of the foes of his country, is the only visible guarantee we have, of the speedy rescue of our Indian posses sions from anarchy and bloodshed. THE sober portion of the British public, who have taken time to digest the last news from India, must feel anything but satisfied with the state of things it discloses. All military order appears to have been thrown aside. Brigadiers and' Commissioners assume in turn the duties of a Commander-in-Chief; and, consequently, we have three armies, or rather fragments of armies, undertaking the most hazardous and desperate exploits without concert, and each one revelling in a glorious and alarming isolation. Military commanders invent novel punishments unknown• to British martial or criminal law, and a handful of Highlanders are left to decide the atonement outraged humanity should demand of mutineers and political offenders ! By pursuing such a course great slaughter must necessarily ensue. The richest districts of India may be depopulated. British supremacy over thousands of miles of uninhabitM hills and valleys may be permanently established. Man's vengeance may be carried beyond everything we have been taught to call " the wrath of God." But all this is to destroy and not to save a valuable dependency—a posses. sion we once styled our " Indian Empire." Had we gone about this work methodically, the means at our disposal, at the onset of the mutiny, might have been equal to the object our Indian authori ties have in view. Our• Commanders have thought proper to depart from the teachings of military experience, and as the whole contest wears the appearance of the wildest frenzy of revenge on both sides, we despair of seeing those solid advantages gained which generally attend well concerted military movements. as 31- The sordid and benighted Bullionist alone grumbled. The astounding activity of commerce brought to light all our deficiencies in the means of external and internal transit. More shipping tonnage was wanted. We stood in great need of more railways. Parliament saw that an addition to both was imperatively necessary to accommodate our immense increase of trade, and our legislators, collectively and individually, rushed to the aid cf the great maritime and commercial interests of the nation. Ships sprung up like mushrooms, and railroads . appeare 1 to rise ready made, with " the rain v►hich goeth up from the earth to cool the heavens." These marvellous and wealth-creating realities, were viewed as phantom 3 by those ' . who know nothing but the feverish idolatry of Mammon, and the sluggish and torturous ways of their idol. Great Britain never made such progress in civilisation as we witnessed in 1845-6. It was in those years we created the immense powers of concentration and expansion, which ren der our defences prfect, and our commerce the astonishment and envy of the world. But all this was thrown :away on the pur-blind and self loving Bullionist. He alone sa►w danger, and dared to call a people " gamblers" who were endeavouring to enrich themselves, by heaping strength and wealth upon their country. In 1847 came the famine, as if to punish the gold- wor shipper for his slander. What then was his remedy for the Divine visitation of scarcity ? " Make money both secure and dear. Advance the rate of discount to 8 per cent., and thereby add 5 per cent., as compared with 1845, to the price of every mouthful of food required for the General NIcHOLSON'S precipitate advance upon Delhi, with the small force under his command, was a great mistake. Having once appeared before the mutineers' stronghold, he was com pelled to hold his position until succour reached him, or to take it at all risks. Reinforcements did not arrive in sufficiently large numbers to enable the General to hold his advanced and desperate position, and he was compelled to undertake the assault in which he, and over 1,200 of his gallant followers, were Skilled or wounded. The number of heroic lives which GENERAL NEIL - L.—The rebellion has claimed another victim, and General Neill, who during his short career in Bengal endeared himself tp the heart of every European in India, has fallen. When the intelligence of his death reached Calcutta every one felt as if he had lost a personal friend, and his death caused no little gloom upon the intelligence of the relief of Lucknow that otherwise would THE NORTHERN TIMES.---LIVERPOOL WEDNESDAY, NOVEMBER 18, 1857 AMUSEMENTS, &c. HENGLER'S CIRCUS, DAL L"-STREET. have caused universal rejoicing. The public were hardly prepared for the death of General Neill. His career had been so brilliant, his daring so conspicuous, and his escapes so numerous, that it was believed he would not only survive to see order once again restored in India, but to receive those honours which his conduct so richly merited, and of which not even official formalism could deprive him. His great powers of endurance, strength of constitution, and personal appearance —for he was scarcely past the vigour of manhood—tended to increase this belief in his invincibility, and therefore the intelligence of his death was the more sudden, and fonnd us the more un prepared. We did not judge of General Neill as we do of other men. To him was never imputed vacillation nor infirmity of purpose. From his first coming among us, from his departure for the Upper Provinces to his death at Lucknow, it was felt that an officer had appeared who, if he had been spared, would have risen to the highest eminence. Difficulty and danger served but to call out all his abilities, and to awake all his energies. And yet with all this vigour of purpose and energy of will, General Neill was a true soldier. His power over the men under his command was immense, and was equalled only by his care and attention to their wants. It was his maxim that no man was, emphatically, a soldier, who unnecessarily harassed or exposed the troops under his command. And thus, with but very inadequate means, and opposed to forces more than twice as numerous as his own, General Neill was able to achieve great results with comparatively small loss of life on his part. And the daring that he exhibited did not arise from want of thought, or that stupidity which does not fear, because it does not foresee danger, but was the result of calm calculation. He knew wall the nature of the rebels with whom he had to d sal , that they were accustomed to dissimulation, and to the maintenance of a bold front with a craven heart. Thus he chose rather to confound them with gallant daring and straightforwardness of purpose, than to induce them to assume a specious appearance of amity by diplomacy. He appeared during the time he served in Bengal to be one of the Europeans, and not one from them. He never used the power which he knew so well how to wield, to show ho v far he was above public opinion, and how he could run counter to the wishes of a whole community, merely for the purpose of gratifying his vanity or his own selfish ends. There was nothing of assumption or vanity in General Neill, and the public whom he so wall served, and whom at Allahabsd, in the burning of Kydgunge, at Cawnpore—in that room which still bears witness to the massacre of our countrymen—and at Lucknow, he has so wall revenged even at the sacrifice of his own life, will do hint honour.— Friend of India. O ly fancy, a real Stag Hunt—no mistake about it—in :he centre of Dole-street—a fine stag, a splendid peck of hounds, • end, although it is a slight misnomer, a field of twenty good ho. semen in the rush of " full cry"—it is, on the whole, a spectacle and novelty unheard of in the history of equestrian entertainments. If we could only divest ourselves of the feeling that we were in the splendid Circus, Dale-street, it would not take a vast stretch of the iseaginatiou to carry us to Melton Mowbray, or some other eqin,ily famous field-sporting lccality in the Midland Counties, for we hove all the fun and frolic and excre ment, the splashing aad dashing over hedges and ditches, rushing through all the accidents of flood and field, tumbles down and gettings up, with all the etcetras to be found in an open air built. Any thing, both conceived, er more 'fully carried out, so far as this point goes, cannot be witnessed ; and sure we are that it cenuot fail to attract crowded houses, if there was no other psrformance. In a word, we say that this novel introduction is deserving o f the great patronage bestowed on the Cirque. Mr. John M. Herigler's performance on the tight-rope, is the acvne of that art, and although we have ceen many surprising its this Deeulisr lin, we may RA fply pcza,rt up to the present he is matchless. His great feat of performing a beautiful overture on the violin, and making en astounding sosamereault during the time, without losing a note, is the climax of perfection in its way, and it would be imposainle to expect any thing beyond it. We have frequently spoken of Marerie. Josephine, but it seams that this graceful favourite, in place of esutenting herself with the laurels she has already won, is determined to add new chaplets to her brow, for she almost surpasses her former efforts in everything, and the more applause bestowed on her only stimulates her to renewed exertions, in which she is quite successful. The daring, and, at the same time, truly graceful feats and performances of the Brothers Elliot, with the dancing globes and magic dud's, almost surpa s comprehension, and but for our occular faculties being first rate, we could hardly credit those things. We should remark, that in the real Stag Hunt, the adventures o r the Cockney Sportsman (who h..s not heard of a Cock ney Sportsman ?) affnrds the best medicine we know of for ennui, and many other ills that flesh is heir to—a hearty laugh. Last night the house was as crowded as could be by a brilliant audience. The nay; grand day performance will be on Saturday. LADY HAVELOCK AND 1i• JULLIEN.—A.D exciting scene came off at Her Majesty's theatre on Thursday night, • on the occasion of the production of the Indian Quadrille, illustrative, among other things, of General Havelock's march. The theatre was much more full than on any evening since the commencement of the concerts, and the , new quadrille was, like all M. Jullien's grand pieces, very ingenious and varied, and as noisy as an indefinite num b. r of additional drums could make it. All the usual battle elements weep introduced, and when the grand crash was over, the audience re-demanded the quadrille, Instead of at once complying, M. Jullien came forward and add reseed the audience. He said—" Ladies and gentlemen, as we are honoured this evening ty the preeence of Lady Havelock, the wife . of the distinguished General—that British lion who has so nobly hawed down the Bengal tiger—l am sure you will be as delighted as I am to know that she is among us." Then, pointing to a box on the first tier, he said, "There is Lady Havelock !" This announcement was received with such tremendous cheering, that Lady Havelock rose from her seat, and, coming forward to the front of the box with her two daughters, gracefully saluted the audience. The accla mations that followed were again interrupted by M. Jul lien, who spoke iu a loud voice, and evidently as excited as if he had been an Englishman born. " Now, ladies and gentlemen," he said, "you shall join with me in three British cheers. I will give the word, and you shell all respond : 'ensemble !' '' He did give the word, and his " Hip, hip, hurrah," thrice reiterated, was thrice echoed by such a "hurrah" from the united voices of the whole assembly as made the walls " reverberate again." Rarely has a scene of greater enthusiasm been witnessed. THE MO2kL OF "Tom Blower's SCHOOL DAYs."—There is not much chance, we are afraid, of this book being read by the parents of boys who do not go either to pablic schools, or to any laree private E&1001; or we might hope that the knowledge of the discipline which gentlemen's sons go through, and the rough experience they have to put up with, would make them ashamed of the effeminate manner in which their children are braug'at up. Whether this is the case in provincial towns we do not know ; it certainly is in London. A boy is perhaps the maat sacred bein . e in this mctrepolis; and the whole majesty of Oh. law, in addition to the fury of his maternal parent—no ordinary power—is raised to avenge hire if he meets with eie of the miry cuffs to which his usual ways of amusing him. , ,elf always rHrly entiVe him.
