down yesterday shaman about 5 to the place where the
band was playlog, the mead middle was throned with
fashicioablce walking about or seated, whilst inside were to
be seen a considerable number of children of both
emus, amusing themsedme aroarding to their pira-
te,. In the midst of the boys was the young
prises, and as I remained for some time does to
the alone, I was able to form a tolerably aosterate judo-
meet of his health, strength, sad pleural bearing. I
shield mention that • bridge la throws ever the water at
one point, and there two guardians wen posted to admit
*eau child without exception, provided Moe she seemed
Larzes and appointee to belong to the more respectable
of society. In fact, the latitude thus given is • first
step toward imparting a popular obanoter to the young
prince's edusatios, sud adooraWy calculated to give him
self.relisnos and to accustom him to form • judgment for
himself. The girls were infinitely more numerous than the
boys, sod, like the latter, ranged in age from eight to thir-
teen. The ostensible motive of the Goo in both
asses was youthful exercise, but the ie almost every
case seemed more fitly attired for a siatisie dame/ire.

the whole time I was there scarcely indulged in a single

the mark of any casual tumble or accident, at the setae
time that it sets off tie youthful person in the prevaillsg
mode. But of all the gay and joyful company there
collected, no olio's dress came up to the definition jute
given so completely as that of die youthful prince. He
wore a dark-coloured suit of light material (alpaca, IS
struck me), abort jacket and bisque trousers,
like what we call in England kniokerbockess, with dark
stockings striped with violet cressweys, and nest light
aide- hoote—a black sad white etre e hat with black

LONDON, FRIDAY, SEPTEMBER 18.

Now is the time for the sufferings and griev-
ances of all aorta and conditions of men to cry
aloud, and spare not the patient indifferenco of a
public accustomed to be taught that all is for the
beat. Politics are at a standstill; the Ship of the
State is laid up in ordinary ; all the world is taking
its ease or on its travels, and the few who have
neither money nor leisure, and to whom the Pates
have been unkind, cannot do better than take ad-
vantage of the universal inattention to pour their
miseries into the yawning space of the public
journals, where, at all events, they may be de-
cently composed with all the honours of the
dead season. Even an inventor has a
chance of an audience in September. Even
the hospitality of the ecclesiastical newspapers is
extended to humble and lowly guests. Once a
year at least they go out—these defenders of the
faith in rate, and rubrics—and invite the maimed,
the halt, and the blind ; and presently an ancient
tale of wrong, the lamentation of innumerable starv-
ing Curates, vexes with its feeble echoes the content
of well-to-do successors of the Apostles. We had
been listening for the first notes of this annual
dirge. At length our respectable contemporary,
the Guardian, gave the signal, and the woes of
Citrates without purse or scrip were once more
sting. When a Bishop confessed and deplored the
failing supply of University candidates for ordina-
tion, the accommodating quacks, who are always
ready with a facile cure for every complaint, ex-
plained glibly enough how in these days the
opening of the Civil Services to competition, and
the chances of a wealthy and prosperous career in
the Colonies, offered temptations to young men of
the middle class, and even to younger sons of
the higher class, too strong to resist. There was
quite enough of common-sense and truth in this
obvious explanation to satisfy all those who are
afraid to look below the surface for a cause. It
was gently hinted, however, by one or two
bolder commentators, that the present gusty and
unsettled state of the doctrinal and dogmatic at-
mosphere might perhaps account for the
shrinking of some young men, troubled
with too much intellect and conscience,
from the perilous navigation of a narrow channel,
in which new reefs of heresy, unlighted and nn-
buoyed, are continually surprising the most experi-
enced pilots. But neither the Bishop nor his com-
mentators ventured to suggest the simple fact that
the Church in these latter days, like Law or
Physic, Army or Navy, is a profession, not a
calling—a profession, like any other, with few prises
and very many blanks ; a profession in which pro-
motion comes neither by seniority nor by pur-
chase, nor by merit, but by family interest or con-
nexion, a lucky tutorship, if not by the personal
qualifications of a vacant or a pliant mind,
and a judicious spiritual neutrality, or nullity.
The Church is not a ministry, as vulgarians sup-
pose. It is a living fora few in the fullest muss
of the word; it is a livelihood for the many
in the barest and most beggarly acceptation.
An ingenuous youth goes into the Church with
an eye to a certain freehold in the family, or to a
college fellowship and preferment, or to the admi-
nistration of the brains and morals of some noble
sad wealthy pupil, who may hereafter become a
patron. If, out of all the careers open to inde-
pendent industry, he deliberately chooses the ser-
vice of the altar from any other motive, it must be
from a motive into which wordly considerations—we
do not say of place and pelf, but of comfort and
convenience—can never enter; a motive so pure and

high that it could never descend to whining in a
newspaper. Charity forbid that we should
not pity the too substantial sorrows
of a Curate who has the sole charge of • " poor,
" populous, and wicked" district, at a pittance of
1204 a year, "and little prospect of increses,"
while, "like many others," he has "been waiting
"to be married for a long time 2" Such a mix-
ture of the prose sad poetry of a poor Curate's life
should melt even the heart of a Bishop who has
all Lie sons (and all his daughters) in the Church.
Citrates, no doubt, are not the only poor and
struggling professional men stretched on the rack
of this work-a-day world. There are probably not
a few young lawyers, and young surgeons, and
even young clerks in the Civil Service, who pine
for many weary years in that bleak and stony
border-land between poverty and gentility. Not
the curse of Curates alone is that terribly false
position, with all its secret humiliations, its gnawing
griefs, its ridiculous disguises. Nothing, we know,
is more bitter in poverty than the consciousness
of it; and to men of delicate culture, and made
conspicuous by social elevation, this oonsciousness
must be a constant agony.

The Reports of the Poor Clergy Relief Society
are • perfect martyrology of threadbare gentlemen,
who, though raised every Sunday six feet above
discussion, are almost ashamed on week days to
show their coats to their parishioners. But no
Curate's letter that we have yet seen, however
eloquent sod minute in its statistics, goes to the
root of the difficulty under which • clergy-
man without fortune labours. The plain
truth is, that his actual potation is funda-
mentally inoompatible with his ideal pretension
He has accepted an ideal service of humility and
self-denial in an age of the world when humility
and self-deniel are only recommended in sermons.
The ideal servant of CHRIST is out of place in as
Establishment, the principal acknowledged tone-
tion of which is to hold an extremely
artificial society together by unearthly sanctions,
and to adapt the worship of a Dnams llamas who
lived in poverty and with the poor, sod banished
the rich from the kingdom of Heaven, to the uses
of a territorial aristocracy and the consecration of
political and social inequality. Economically con-
sidered, this distribution of patronage in the
Church is nothing but • sound divisim
of labour. The Bishops and the beneficed'
clergy represent the landlords who are to be
always over es. The Curates represent the poor
who are to be always with tia. We beg Poor
Curates to believe that they are part of the sternal
Stoma of things—as it is interpreted in A.D. 1863.

A letter from London, in the Press, of lressiba,
states that Earl Russell, at the request of the
Danish government, has undertaken an attempt at
mediation between the Federal Diet sad the cabi-

to have also applied to the French government on
the subject, in order to give more weight to his
proceedings, and bring about a simultaneous offer
of mediation on the part of France and England.
A revision of all the negotiations of 1861 will be
