strangeness was remarked by his acquaintances.
The evening before his death he was to have de-
livered
a lecture on " The Mosaic Creation " to an
audience at Portobello, a bathing•place in the neigh-
bourhood of Edinburgh, where he resided. He had
prepared the lecture, but the state of his health pre•
vented his delivering it, and it was read in his
absence by a friend. In the course of the day Mr.
Miller saw his medical adviser, to whom he com-
plained of headache, brought on by the want of re •
fresbing sleep. Following the directions he received,
be took a warm bath and retired to rest at an early
hour. He had for some time been in the habit of
keeping a loaded revolver in his bedroom, having, it
is said, a stron74 apprehension of danger from house-
breakers, for which, in reality, there was some
reason, as an attempt was made not very long ago to
break into his valuable museum. No explosion was
heard by the servants during the night, and it was
not till the morning that the body was found lying
near the bath-room. These circumstances seem to
prove that the melancholy event was purely acci-
dental, while the state of Mr. Miller's mind as well
as his general character and position preclude the
idea of premeditated or intentional self-destruction.

THE PRESS.

It is no small merit of the volume that it
supplies ua with a tolerably complete biogra-
phy of Boswell. In his letters to Temple he
dwells on all the chief events of his life. The
letters commence when Boswell was only
eighteen, and they do not terminate till his
death. The last effort of his hand was pro-
bably spent in an endeavour to inform Temple
of his illness. The prefatory notices to the
letters are well informed, and the et'iting of
the volume extremely satisfactory. Is it not
probable, at page 68, where there is a blank in
the passage,—
When jaded with business, or when tormented with the
passions of civilised life, I could Hy to the woods, nay I
could on the time of a mountain, were it possible
for me to be conscious of it, and to brave the elements
h 3 glorious insensibility—

that " vegetate" is the undecipherable word
which Boswell wrote?

It would take us too long to go through all
the letters. There is not one which is not
thoroughly characteristic. Some of the most
amusing are those in which he details with
great exactness the progress of his love affairs,
setting forth every mood of his mind as it
changed with his pass:on, or with the demea-
nour of his fair one for the time being. Of
one of his charmers he wrote :

In a former part of this letter I have talked a great deal
of my sweet little mistress; I am, however, uneasy about
her. Furnishing a house and maintaining her with a
maid will cost me a great deal of money, and it is too like
marriage, or too much a settled plan of licentiousness;
but what can Ido ? I have already taken the house, and
the lady has agreed to go in at Whitsuntide; I cannot in
honour draw back.

Oh, my friend ! were you hut here; but, alas ! that can-
not be. Mamhead is not within a cell ; it ought to be, for
you should always be my pastor, and I might now and
then be yours. Friend of my youth, explain to me how
we suffer so severely from what no longer exists. How
am I tormented because my charmer has formerly loved
others! Besides, she is abred, quite a rompish girl.
She debases my dignity ; she has no refinement, but she
is very handsome, and very lively. What is it to me that
she has formerly loved? So have T. I am positive that
since I first courted her at Moffat she has been constant to
me; she is kind, she is generous. What shall I do? I
wish I could get off; and yet how awkward would it be !
Think of your Berwick Celia, and sympathise with me.
One way or other, my mind will be settled before I can
hear from you. This is a curious epistle to a clergyman.
Admonish me, but forgive me.

CORN EXCHANGE—AIthough very moderate supplies of
English wheat have come to hand this week, we have to
report a slow sale for all kinds, and in some instances a decline
in the quotations of from 2s to 3s per quarter. Foreign wheat
has come slowly to hand ; nevertheless, millers have purchased
that article with extreme caution, at barely last week's currency.
There has been a steady demand for most kinds of barley, at
extreme quotations. Malt, however, has continued very dull at
the late decline. The receipts of oats having been good, the
oat trade hm ruled heavy, at a decline in value of fully 6d per
quarter. Beans, peas, 'and flour—the receipts of which have
been only moderate—have sold heavily, on former terms.

RUSSIA.

As a curious circumstance, the Times Berlin cor-
respondent remarks that the late Russian naval
official documents contain no allusion to the Black
Sea fleets. The marine school for the orphans of
the officers of the Black Sea fleet is to be removed
from Nicolaieff to Helsingfors. An official return of
the Black Sea fleet of 1854 has appeared in the
Wojenny Listok (military journal). The total force
amounted to eighty-five vessels of all rates, mounting
2,800 guns. Nothing official has yet transpired as
to the discontinuance of building ships at Nicolaieff,
nor has any countermand appeared against the con-
centration of the marine guard on the Baltic coast.
The importation of salt over the frontier of Austria,
and from Moldavia, and at Odessa and the Danubian
ports, is permitted by ukase during 1850, upon the
payment of fifteen copecks per pound.
Letters received from St. Petersburg during the
week state that an Imperial ordinance has been
transmitted to the Minister lor Finance, authorising
the immediate issue of seven series of Treasury
Bills, to the total amount of 21,000,000 roubles, to
assist the Treasury.
Letters from Warsaw state that deliberations have
taken place under the presidentship of Prince Gorts-
chakotf, relative to the military reorganisation of
Poland. General Lubomirski was present.

TURKEY AND THE PRINCIPALITIES.
Accounts from Constantinople, of the 21st ult.,
state that the Hattischeriff of the Sultan, relative to
the reforms in favour of the Christians, had been
read in presence of the ecclesiastical, military, civil,
and Christian dignitaries.
The German journals state that the Austrian
troops will occupy the principalities until these re-
forms are carried out.

The Time correspondent at Constantinople gives
slme account of the conferences on a new constitu-
tion for the principalities:—

The first proposal made by all parties was the abolition
of the present constitution of the two principalities. But
when it came to the question of what was to be substituted
opinions were completely at variance. The English Am-
bassador proposed an Upper and Lower House; the first
hereditary and unpaid, the second elected and paid. The
French Ambassador was for a Senate and Legislative
Chamber--the first named, the second elected, and both
paid. Lastly. the Austrian Internuncio thought the
welfare of the principalities would be best secured by con-
fiding the legislative and highest government functions to
a consultative body composed of the highest officials of the

and pillows, and provisions for forty-eight hours, will
be nothing to what we may expect at Covent Garden
next week, although neither nightcaps, pillows, nor
provisions will he required. A pantomime will com-
mence the performance at one p.m. on Monday ;
then we are to have the drama, in two acts, of Time
Tries AU; then the Scottish drama of Gilderoy ;
then the opera of Sonnambula ; then the Great Gun
Trick, in which Mr. Charles Mathews will appear
and take off the learned Professor himself; and
after that the counter-farce, What Does He Want I
in which Mr. Leigh Murray will take off Mr. Charles
Mathews. This will conclude the first night's enter-
tainment, and on the second evening we are promised
a Bal Masque of unprecedented splendour. Mr.
Anderson will thus conclude his season with a clap
of theatrical thunder which is essentially all his own.
We may take this opportunity of speaking briefly of
Mr. Haigh, the new tenor. Although new to the
stage, ho is possessed of one of the sweetest tenor
voices to be heard, and, with care and practice, will
no doubt achieve a very high reputation.

MADAME JENNY GOLDSCITMIDT-LIND.—A second
and last performance of Handel's oratorio of The
Messiah will be given at Exeter hall, on Tuesday
evening, March 18, at which Madame Goldschmidt
will sing for the last time previous to her intended
provincial tour. The Grand Miscellaneous Concert
of Mr. and Madame Goldschmidt, for the benefit of
the Nightingale Fund, will take place on Tuesday,
the 11th instant.
Mn. ADAMS'S ANNUAL BALL will take place at
Willis's-rooms, on Tuesday, March 11th.
London, England, 1856-03-01

We have seen the measures promised from
the Throne. The Partnership Amendment
Bill is confessedly the property of Mr. CAIRNS,
appropriated, without acknowledgment, by the
Vice-President of the Board of Trade. The
Shipping Bill is another exemplification of
the old story—what is good iu it is not new,
and what is new in it is not good All that
part of it relatil e to the relief of shipping from
passing dues belongs to the measure an-
nounced by Lord DERBY'S Chancellor of the
Exchequer; while that part of it which would
confiscate the property of corporations pro-
ceeds on a ground which would render the
tenure of every kind of property insecure,
and would introduce into our legislation a
principle of direct, open, and shameless spolia-
tion. The speech of Mr. Lowx on Monday
night has wonderfully enlightened the House
on his character. He is found out. In no
assembly of English gentlemen can the pnn-
ciples he enunciated ever be listened to with
tolerance. The atmosphere of the House of
Commons does not suit him Before he can
hope to accommodate himself to it, be must
begin his career anew, and learn more accu•
rately the nature of that " property" which he
pretends to define. The property of corpora-
tions, he tells the House, is "M. PROUDHON'B
" property—le vol." This is language which
the House of Commons has not been accus-
tomed to listen to, and which it never will
listen to, while its British spirit remains, with-
out indignation. The House could not pos-
sibly accept legislation on so delicate a
subject from the hands of Mr. Lowx.
We have, besides, a new Police Bill, which
has already had the effect of exciting the
greatest consternation among the leading
boroughs of the kingdom. The great object
of the Municipal Reform Act was to establish
local self-government. The main purpose of
this new Police Bill is to overthrow it. The
Ministry has conceived the pleasant notion
that principles of legislation are to be dealt
with as ninepins, and that the only use of
setting them up is to knock them down again.
In the Crimean Report we have the same
meddling spirit at work. The Commission
was appointed by Government ; to Govern-
ment it was responsible. Its office was
primarily to supply the Government with in
formation by which it might regulate its pro-
cedur.3. Confined within its proper limits, it
might have been useful. A prudent Ministry
would have sifted its evidence, and would
have called for explanations from inculpated
parties. There was no necessity for the im-

JEWISH DISABILITIES

THE attention of Parliament must again soon
be fixed on the subject of Jewish Disabilities.
It is a practical and pressing question. The
City of London persists in its choice of Baron
ROTHSCHILD as one of its representatives, and
while he is excluded from the House of Com-
mons, the first constituency of the empire is
deprived of one of its members.
At a meeting of the electors of the City of
London this week, a report on the Disabilities
of the Jews has been presented. The facts
stated are remarkable. The removal of the
Disabilities has been actively agitated for the
last twenty-five years. In 1830, a bill for
the purpose was carried through its first stage
in the Commons by a majority of eighteen.
In 1833, the principle had so far gained ground
that the majority had risen to 137; in 1830,
the opposition had sank down to twenty-two.

For seven successive sessions of Parlia-
ment, beginning with 1847, and ending
with 1853, Bills for the repeal of the Dis-
abilities have passed the Commons House
by considerable majorities, and been as regu-
larly rejected by the Lords. In 1854, the
question met with the greatest check it has
known since it was first mooted. An attempt
was made, under cover of relieving the Jews
from the necessity of making a Christian
affirmation, to alter the whole system of
oaths, and to free the Roman Catholics from
the obligation of that declaration imposed on
them by the Emancipation Act, as a security
for the Established Church. The artifice was
exposed, and defeated by a majority of four,
and since then the excitement of the war has
prevented any further agitation of the ques-
tion. It will now again be brought before the
Legislature.
In politics one is perpetually reminded of
the reflection of BURKS, that our choice seldom
lies between absolute good and absolute evil.
The science of politics is a science of compro-
mise. Sometimes the decision must be made
between lesser and greater goods; between
lesser and greater evils ; between good and evil
so mingled together on each side that it is ex-
tremely difficult to say which side should pre-
dominate. On this question we have, on the
one hand, the broad principle of Christianity,
which is dear to the religious world—and on
the other, the fact that the sect which it
would be the least dangerous to admit to legis-
lative privileges is the only one excluded from
them. Romanists and Dissenters, let them
say what they may, would pull down the
Church if they could ; and men of republican
tendencies would favour every measure to
democratise the Constitution. But the Jew
is Conservative in his nature. He has no care
to proselytise—no wish to dominate. He is
content to serve and wait, to fulfil the duties

DESTRUCTION OF FORT ALEXANDER.

The work of demolition proceeds. Fort Nicholas
and Fort Alexander now belong to the class of the
"has-beens," and the great fort Constantne will, it
is said, speedily come under the same category.
Fort Alexander was blown up on the 11th ult.:—
Yesterday, precisely at one o'clock p.m., Fort Alex-
ander was exploded into ruin by the French engineers.
This work, which was immediately opposite to Fort Con-
stantine, and commanded the approach and entrance to
the roadstead, was second only in extent and importance
to Fort Nicholas, on the south side. It was constructed
of stone, and calculated to mount ninety guns. A tolerably
still breese was blowing Irons the westward, and heavy
masses of grey and inky clouds were rising from the hori•
son, and sweeping rapidly over the plateau. The sun was
finite lost to view. The water of the roadstead, and the sea
gis far as the aye could reach, were enveloped by a thin mist.
Without being able to fix the sight on the work itself, the
attention of each spectator looking towards the direction

An attempt was made to defer the motion, but,

contemplated, the motion was agreed to.
