MR. MILLER AT COLCHESTER.

MR. MELLEN M.P. for this borough, was entertained
at a public dinner last week at Colchester by his
Conservative supporters. The dinner was given at
Messrs. Osborne's brewery, and between 500 and 600
gentlemen sat down. The reception given to Mr.
Miller on his entry was most enthusiastic. After
the usual loyal toasts had been received, the chair-
man, Mr. Wolton, the late mayor, proposed the
health of Mr. Miller amidst loud and continued
cheers. _ _

Mr. Piffn.LEn in an able speech reviewed the pro-
ceedings of the past session, and alluded to the
subjects which will probably engage the atter tion of
the House very shortly. With respect to the Bank
Charter Act, Mr. Miller said :
Should the Government, as they must, bring in a bill on
the subject during the next session, I shall feel it my duty
to maintain the principle embodied in the Act of 1844,
because that principle embraces within it perfect security
for every issue which the Bank of England may make.
Whether, in carrying out this principle, some alterations
of detail may not be made, is a question which will depend
upon the course taken by a committee which sat during
the last session, and which has collected, as J am informed,
important evidence not yet laid upon the table of the house.
I will, however, say that at the present moment the Bank
of England, by its charter, is stemming a torrent brought
upon us by the recklessness of the joint-stock banks; and
Heaven forbid that I should see the Bank of England ever
sunk into the depths of indignity and distress to which
these joint-stock banks are come, and into which they
have drawn the whole of the community. The distress
which at present exists prevails to a greater extent amongst
the poor labourers than amongst the rich ; and the distress
which has been brought upon them has in my humble
judgment been occasioned by the recklessness of the joint•
stock bank system. When those joint-stock banks are
most prosperous—when they are paying the largest din-

Tf any one wishes to hear all the difficulties, political, social,
and religious, which have ever occupied and perplexed his mind,
cleverly and temperately discussed, let him read " Thorndale."
It would be extremely difficult to give our readers a full
and satisfactory idea of the scope and object of " Thorudale."
It is metaphysical, but the metaphysics are taught in the con.
crete rather than in the abstract The several schools of thought
which prevail amongst us are represented by the lives and con.
versations of Thorndale and his friends.

PARIS, Nov. 26.
I RAVE very little political new 3 to send you to-
day. The Danubian question has not advanced a
step since my last. Many notes have passed between
the Western Courts, but no decision come to; indeed,
no decision can be obtained, the question resting en-
tirely with the Congress of Paris. In the meantime, the
Austrian Government is labouring hard in raising
reports, to be widely spread, accusing the Divans with
being animated with a turbulent, revolutionary spirit.
The Turkish Government issues diplomatic notes
without number, in which it endeavours to prove that
the union of the provinces would annul its sove-
reignty. lam afraid that Redschid Pacha wilfully
forgets Article 425 of the organic regulations of the
Principalities, which, if my memory is correct, so
far from showing that the union of the provinces

TURKEY AND THE PRINCIPALITIES.

Ten battalions of Turkish troops have been con-
centrated ou the Danube, in the direction of Widin.

The Divan ad hoc of Wallachia has decided on
declaring its incompetency on the subject of the
solution of the questions of the internal organisation
of the province. It has also resolved on demanding
authorisation to send a representative to the Congress
of Paris.

A Vienna letter in the Elberfeld Gazette says :
Prince Callimaki has lately had several con'erences with
Count Buol, during which he declared to him that Ins
Government had no intention of occupying the Princi-
palities with a military force. The assemblage of troops
on the frontier had, he said, no other object than to guard
against eventualities, and to maintain order in the pro.
vines on the right bank of the Danube.

On the same subject, the Augsburg Gazette, under
its Vienna head, says :

The existence of a confidential note from Tnrkey, which
was delivered at the same time as the second Turkish cir•
cular of the 28th ult., appears to be admitted. In it the
Porte calls attention to the necessity of taking measures of
ptecaution in a military point of view. It is, in fact,
known that Turkey has already adopted some measures of
the kind.

Redschid Paella has forwarded to the representa-
tives of the different powers a memorandum, in which
he claims from foreign ships an addition' due for the
maintenance of lighthouses. Against this demand
the Embassies protest.

A circular note from M. Manteuffel of October
10th reflects strongly upon the conduct of the Porte
in renewing its protests against the political union
of the Principalities.

dom.

Other formal resolutions were then proposed, and
the proceedings shortly terminated.

upon Him, they leant upon Egypt for support, it should be
as when a man leaneth upon a staff and it runneth into
his hand and pierceth him ! How has God, through this
Brahminical superstition, allowed these people to rise
against us in their heathen fury and darkness, and ferocity
and bloodshed—those whom we thought to make through

that heathen superstition the instruments of our getting
their brethren in subjugation ! Now, then, I say, if this is
so, and really I believe it—for we might carry it out
further by a multitude of details—what is plainer than
that the Christian mind of England ought to rise under
these disasters, put the true interpretation upon them, and
say this is the cause of England's disasters, that England
has been false to England's faith and timid of avowing
England's God ?

His lordship concluded by an earnest appeal to
his aueience on behalf of the society, and resumed
his seat amid reiterated plaudits.

THE DANISH DUCHIES.

According to the Aftonbladet of Copenhagen, Mr.
Ward, the English agent, who has gone through
the Duchies to institute a kind of inquiry, has ad-
dressed a report to Load Palmerston on the result
of his mission, in which he proposes a triple solution
of the question. The first is to extend the Danish
monarchy as far as the Eider, incorporating Schles-
wig with it, and leaving the Duchies of Holstein and
Lauenburg out of it; the second is the division of
Schleswig in such a manner as that the southern,
or German part, shall be annexed to Holstein, and
the northern, or Danish part, incorporated with
Denmark; and the third is the union of Schleswig
and Holstein in oue State. Mr. Ward declares
against the first of these propositions, and recom-
mends the British Government to choose between
the other two.

FRANCE.

The Emperor presided at a Council of Ministers
held on Thursday at the Tuileries.
The resident representatives of the powers who
signed the Treaty of Paris met on Thursday at the
Foreign-office, to exchange the ratifications of the
treaty relative to the boundaries of Bessarabia.
M. Dupin is to be installed as Procureur General
of the Court of Cassation this day. The speech,
which, according to usage, he will pronounce on
that occasion, is looked forward to with considerable
interest.

M. Daubigny, the Government candidate, has been
elected in the Sartlie by an enormous majority. He
polled 18,000 votes against 4,000 given to M. Jules
Fevre.

A Pope's bull, authorising certain modifications
in the Liturgy, has just been received in Paris, and
will be promulgated immediately. The bull ordains
the simple substitution of the word " Emperor " for
the word " King" in the French prayer•books—a
change the Legitimist priests have refused to make
in the Domine Salvum.

The Bank of France has reduced its rate of
discount to seven per cent. for bills having thirty
days to run ; eight per cent. for bills of sixty days;
and nine per cent. for bills of ninety days.

BELGIUM.

The new Ministry has issued a manifesto. It is
a temperate document, and very completely vindi-
cates the course taken by the Ministers against the
attacks of the Ultramontane party. The policy of
the new Government, says M. Rogier, is to be
thoroughly national, conservative, and progressive ;
and it will preserve the integrity of the rights of the
State and the independence of the civil power, while
maintaining the separation between public worship
and the State, which separation, says the manifesto,
"is one of the bases of our wise constitution." This
manliest° bears the signature of fourtyfour gentle-
men who were members of the Chamber of Repre-
sentatives last session.

The pregnancy of the Duchesse de Brabant is now

just been bespoken at a magasin in the Rue de la

are to be found in this volume. His figures
from life want clearness of outline, and are
rather deficient in drawing, but his landscapes
have broad and bold effects, and the poetical

artist.

Letta's Diary for 1858. London : Letts, Son,

WE have looked through this number of a very use-
ful publication as carefully as circumstances would
permit of, and we should say it answers its purposa
very closely. There is hardly any description of in-
formation connected with public affairs, whether in
the shape of business or politics, which is not to be
found within Sits pages, with a variety of miscella-
neous knowledge hardly less useful and important.
We have no space for an index, and that alrne
could do justice to its varied contents. We would
suggest, however, in a future number, the insertion
of a certain kind of information useful to humbler
memb3n3 of society, such, for instance, as a few
simple instructions to the owners and occupiers of
houses, and the influence upon their relations exer-
cised by the new Local Management Act. A copious
verbal index would also be an improvement.

Even to the most practical there are many facts of our time
discussed which cannot fail to passess interest, and on which
the author's views are clear, logical, and useful. The great
questions connected with the theological philosophy of our day
are but slightly touched upon, but the history of Cyril, and that
chapter especially io his experiences which is headed "
Mental Conflict," Indicates a keen power of analysis as regard■
ethical truths, and will furnish many a reader with the materials
of deep reflection. We may add that throughout the whole work
there is a devout and earnest spirit which does not constitute
its least recommendation.

THE ENGLISH ENGINEERS IMPRISONED

AT NAPLES.
A VERY large meeting, composed principally of the
artisans from tho extensive engine factories of the
town, was held in the Lecture-room, Newcastle-upon-
Tyne, on Monday evening, to petition Parliament to
adopt active measures for the release of the two
English engineers who had been seized on board the
Cagliari, Neapolitan steamer, and were now confine('
by the police of Naples in the prison of Salerno.
The Mayor, Mr. Nichol, was in the chair. Sir John
Fife moved the following resolution :

That it is the opinion of this meeting that the imprison.
ment of the two English engineers, Messrs. Watt and
Park, by the Neapolitan Government, and the refusal of
that Government to allow the English Consul at Naples or
any of their friends to communicate with them, is en
insult to the British nation, and requires the prompt and
vigorous interposition of the British Government.

The resolution was seconded by Mr. Joseph Cowen
jun., and was unanimously agreed to. Other resolu-
tions Gf a similar character were passed, and a peti-
tion to Parliament was also adopted. The following
letter from tha Foreign•office, on the part of Lord
Clarendon, in answer to a memorial presented by
Mr. Ridley, M.P., from the workmen of Messrs.
Stephenson and Co., engine-builders, was read to the
meeting :

Foreign-office, Nov. 16.
Sir,—l am directed by the Earl of Clarendon to
acknowledge the receipt of your letter of the 12th inst.
inclosing a memorial numerously signed by workmen in
the employ of Messrs. H. Stephenson and Co., relative to
the case of the engineer Henry Watt ; and I am directed
to state to yon, in reply to the memorialists, that Watt is
amenable to the law of Naples, as it appears that he was
taken prisoner, being at the time in company with other
persona who were attempting to excite a revolution, and
that the acting Consul at Naples, under instructions from
this office, has retained the best lawyers to be had in
Naples for his defence. Lord Clarendon has instructed
the acting Consul to demand that he shall be allowed to see
Watt and the other engineer named Park who is ooufined
him, and that no unnecessary delay shall take place
in proceeding with their trial. And his lordship has also
taken measures for enabling Mr. Park, senior, to see his
son if he is willing to proceed to Salerno for that pur-
pose. And I am to request that you will assure the
memorialists that no effort on the part of her Majesty's
Government shall be omitted which can properly be
taken on behalf of Watt and his unfortunate fellow
prisoner Park.
The meeting, which was very orderly, broke up
about ten o'clock.

wheat Du appeared on sale this week, coastwise and by land
carriage. On the whole, the trade has somewhat Improved, and
most of the samples on offer hove changed hands at fully pre-
vious rates, to is per quarter more money. The imp orta of
foreign wheat have rather decreased, and a fair average business
has been transacted in most kinds, at full prices, to a slight
advance. Floating cargoes of grain have commanded ver7
little attention. Fine malting barley has changed hands some.
what lively, at full quotations ; but grinding and distilling sorts
have sold slowly, at irregular quotations. Malt has continued
heavy, at the late decline in value. There hat been an impro7ed
fef ling in the oat trade, and prices have advanced Od to Is per
quarter. In the value of beans and peas we have no change to
report. Flour has moved off slowly, at previous quotations.

THE NEW MEMBERS.

AMONGST the points of personal interest con-
nected with the coming session of Parliament
is the probable character of the " New Mem-
bers" just elected. Will any of them become
celebrities in politics, or materially influence
the decisions of the Legislature ? It would
be impossible to answer these questions deci-
sively, for there is nothing so difficult to cal-
culate as the likelihood of a man's succeeding
or failing in Parliament. It sometimes
happens that abilities of a particular kind, or
knowledge of a special character, enable their
possessors to attain success on certain occa-
sions when the same resov would not aid
them at other periods.

respond, is 40 feet diameter. The sash is formed of
gilt moulded ribs of a lay-like pattern, emanating
from a central medallion, in which the royal mono-
gram is alternated with the Imperial crown.
The under cornice, from which the dome springs,
is suitably massive and almost wholly gilded, the
fringe being formed into panels bounded by lines
terminating at the ends with a gilt fret ornament.
Each compartment of the cornice is marked by a
bold enriched gilt console, which forms at once the
support of the main rib and a base for statuary. The
feet of these ribs are designed for colossal marble
statues.

Between the cornice and the floor the space is
filled with the bookcases and galleries of access, the
cornice, standards, and railings of which are whol►y
gilded, the panels of the softites of the latter being
blue, having gilded ornaments therein.
The main entrance into the new reading-room is
direct from the Great Hall, and there are secondary
entrances via the King's Library and the Great Nor•
them Library rooms.

AUSTRIA AND SARDINIA.

A letter from Piacenza of the 11th, in the Fourier°
of Oneglia, says :
Sixty pieces of cannon hayearrived, partly from Crema
and partly from Pavia. Ido n t know whether they are
to remain here or proceed to Bologna, as some say. What
is positive, however, is that Marshal Count Giulay has
sent orders to put the fortifications which have just been
completed outside the Antonio gate (t )wards the Pied
montese frontier) in a state of defence. Two regiments of
cavalry, the regiment Furstenwerther, and the hulans of
Count Grum, are expected here.
The preparations for the journey of the Emperor
through Hungary continue to be pressed forward.
The Imperial visit is postponed until the second
fortnight in May.
The difference between Austria and Montenegro
appears in a fair way of settlement. Prince Danilo
has released a prisoner, and Austria, as a recognition
of this friendly proceeding, has ordered that the
Montenegrin refugees shall be removed to the
interior.

Field-Marshal Count Paar is reported to have left
Vienna on a special mission to Paris.
A letter from Vienna gives us some information
regarding the proposed reorganisation of the em-
pire :
Baron Pach's vast plan of communal organisation for all
the empire, which has been fur acme time under the
examinatim. of the Supreme Council of State, is, it is raid,
considered too liberal by that body ; and it has been sent
back to him, it is said, with a request that it may be so
modified as to be placed in conformity with the enactments

in vigour before the invasion of liberal ideas in 1848. The
111i3ister, who devoted great labour to the drawing up of
his scheme, is said to be profoundly discouraged by this
step of the Council, and his resignation is consequently
talked of. Baron Bach was formerly a simple adeocate,
and belongs to the middle class cr' society. He was
carried to power by the events of 1844, and has since
displayed remarkable administrative genius. He is con-
sidered one of the most zealous promoters of the plan
fur amalgamating the provinces of the empire into one great
whole,

DENMARK.

The Cabinet is being reconstituted slowly. The
cause is the difficulty of bestowing the portfolio of
Foreign Affairs and that of Holstein, left vacant by
the retirement of M. Scheele.

M. Andrae, Minister of Finance, will carry off the
Presidency of the Council over M. Hall, Minister of
Public Worship.
Still, with the exception of M. Scheele, the reten-
tion of the former Cabinet is no longer doubtful.

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.

AFTER three performances of Donizetti'a Favorite,
in which Mlle. Spezia rather gained ground, and
Signor Giuglini certainly lost none, La Figlia del
Reggirnento was presented for the first appearances
this season of Mlle. Piccolomini and Signor Belletti,
and the debut of a new tenor, Signor Bottardi. The
latter is very unlikely to maintain his position as a
supplement to Giuglini. Belletti is an admirable
singer, but he is not an animated actor, or he would
take a much higher position. On Thursday Verdi's
Traviata was revived for Piccolomini and Giuglini,
and it was they pretty clearly manifested that the
speciality of this season will be concentrated in these
two newcomers. Mlle. Ortolani, who appears next
Tuesday in Puritani, with Giuglini, will not
disturb Piccolomini's popularity, nor seriously
affect what prestige Spezia may gain. The
director's last card, and as a vocalist incom-
parably his best, will be A lboni, but it
is very unlikely this charming contralto and quasi-
soprano will interfere with the piquant Piccolomini's
attraction. It will be the tactics of the manager,
consequently, to introduce the latter and her new
colleague Giuglini in as many works as possible.
Verdi's Traviata has had its main run, and the
curiosity is to know what will be Piccolomini's new
assumptions. In respect to Giuglini, there is little
room for speculation. His success may be more or
less in each part he undertakes, but his honours are
gained; he will be accepted without qualification as
a most charming tenor, who in any opera must com-
mand the sympathies of his hearers. There is no
danger in predicting his career—" once an artist
always an artist." Piccolomini's position is certainly
precarious, for she has not yet mastered the first
principles of singing, and we do not believe that any
lyric artiste can have a permanent bold on the public
who possesses only histrionic gifts. She stands on a
stage on which a lofty standard of musical excellence
has been raised. As yet she has relied on spon-
taneity and naturalness ; but these qualities will not
enable her to run a scale correctly, to attack the
notes with unerring intonation, and to phrase
artistically. That Piccolomini may not have ulti-
mate reason to regret that she was prematurely
brought out, must be the sincere wish of all lovers of
art ; and her best friends and advisers will be found
amongst those who urge her to pursue her stulics
with as-iduity, and not to accept the actual homage
as one that will be enduring if her attributes remain
stationer).

dramatist, though he got his seat with so much
adroitness as to show that he has some " wits'
of his own. Mr. TORRENS M'CULLAOH, the new
Member for Yarmouth, sat formerly for Dun-
dalk, and may be described as a man of po-
litical promise.
On the whole, however, it cannot be
affirmed that any new member with a
great reputation, or raising great expecta-
tions, has been elected to the present House
of Commons. nut the inspiration of oppor-
tunity may do much for many senators not yet
known to fame, and brilliant success may he
achieved in the case of Honourable Gentle-
men whose astonished friends will eagerly
exclaim, " Who'd have thought it ?" In Par-
liament, as on Ensom Downs, an " outsider"
often takes a foremost place.
