At this elevation the bread got u hard as iron in
half a day, and there they were visited by the islanders,
who bad heard that " an Eaglish astronomer had
arrived with so large a teleecope. that he had been
actually able to see the goats in the moon." At
Alta vista, to which Mr. Smyth afterwards moves,
he in vain sought the phenomenon recorded by Hum-
boldt of the lateral oscillations of stars near the
horizon. Mr. Smyth seems to have little faith in
travellers. A clever author, at Erzeronm, only
7,500 feet high, describes that eggs took there hs
did not know how long to have merely their whites
Axed, and that boiling water did not scald him. Mr.
Smyth thinks this all moonshine. Such writer's
imaginations are in teo active a condition to adhere
elessly to matter of fact. Similarly, be tells ns that
as to the alleged sickness, feverish pulse, bleeding at
eyes sad den from the nuitled air, "be felt nothing
of the sort.' The dryness of the air seems to have
unpleasantly affected the hands and faces and Hea—
t* have shrunk up the corks in the bottles—and to
have destroyed the cohesive properties of the glue ;
but these seem to have been all the inconvenienoes
experienced. Mr. Smyth seems to have enjoyed
himself ; all classes in the island seem to have as-
sisted him to the utmost of their power, and his nar-
rative will delight many a stay-at-home traveller.
As an accurate observer, and as a bona fide reporter,
we cannot speak too highly of Mr. Smyth. We
only add that the scientific account was read before
the Royal Society, on the 2nd of June, 1867, and

mother and uncle, if you ever reach your deennation ; but
that is problematical in the highest dares. Tie think of ,
travelling erne& of a hundred •adhrty mllae, to thedepth

In the ►tage are soma travellers, who ell get mewed op.
Mr. Milhous, • felloweindent of Sidney's brother Harold,
who fells violently in lon in her--• Mr. Raker, who, as the
faith of • pretended manage with her mother, lays claim
to the property left to the Elliott.—. Mr. Hopwood, • com-
mercial traveller, who helps to detect the villains of Baker—
and Mark Foster, eon of Sidney's guardian, and lover of
her sister Geraldine. Mid:names fall .pen the family ; the
uncle dies and leans all his property to the:mother ; then she
dies, and a lawsuit puts Baker in possession of the property
belonging to the Elliott., whereupon Genhllne, the haughty
beauty, sells herself to • rich husband, and Harold's lady-
love leaves him for another. But by the aid of Mr. Hop-
wood and an old servant of the family, It is shown that the
marriage of Baker was a pretended one, behaving really mar-
ried a airier of Mrs. Elliott, who had preserved the Beret
through life. Sidney, rich and happy, marries her sailor
cousin, Mark Foster, who has long been cured of hie love
for Geraldine, and Harold, under the guidance of • young
lady, Margaret Stratton, who improves wonderfully
upon acquaintance, becomes • nodal and energetic
man. Mrs. Hubback writes unaffectedly, and her pictures
are delicately drawn. If we were inclined to be critical, we
would object to the ear against strong-minded femalee—•
sneer which comes with en ill grace from • clever woman ;
and we would rasa against the treatment of Hopwood,
the commercial gent. He was • powerful ally to the Hiltons
in regaining the property they had let, and deserved their
warmest thanks. Instead, he was barely tolerated by the
Elliott. and their friends. Hopwood may have been • very
vulgar man: in some circles all people conoseted with trade
are imppoesd to be sue ; but the Elliott badly were under
greet ebilgatioss to him, sod their orintonanotts treatment
use quite as vulgar se anything he could say or do.
The Iva thigars ; or, Picterms of • Court. By Mrs.
Ro•anT CASTWAIONT. In two volumes. London . 3. F.
Hope.
A petty German court is not • very interesting subject,
and requires greater akill in depicting its incongruities than
Mrs. Cartwright appears to ponces. The heroine Penis,
Countess Von Brtumeadorf, is the daughter of • nobleman
of the Ukraine, whence she has to fee as a child, in conse-
quence of the Cossack Invasion. At her uncle's maidens,
in Berlin, she meets her future husband, tint minister at the
wart of the Grand Doke of X, and here she witnesses the
usual Intrigue*, and superintends the education of the two
princesses. As to the truthfulness' of the pictures of • court,
it is not for humble critics like ourselves to speak. All that
we can do is to sympathise with the distress of Fedora,
whose husband is sent to Siberia, and to shed a tear over
the unfortunate end of the Princess Thiele, whose hus-
band, • Russian prince, is a most ineligible petty.
The Sara of Hone. By Simvs.X. London: Saunders
and Otley.
The author of the " Spirit of Home" is an amiable, well-
meaning man. He is very much attached to • lady whoa
initial is 111., and " whose fond love," a he inform
us, "keeps my soul serene." He is a great advocate of
emigration to Australia. He has a great abhorrence of gb-
shops, and a great love for his native land. These end
other equally praiseworthy feelings have impelled Idea to
publish • volume of sonnets, which he tails ua he haves with
the public. Alas I we fear the public will never leant of the
boon for it Sylvan ban in view.

The Life of Mahomet, and History of Islam, to the
Bra of the Hegira. By. WILLIAM Mum, Esq.
Two vols. London : Smith, Elder, and Co.
Plutarch (so says
.Montaigne) had rather we
should applaud his lodgment than commend his
knowledge. Mr. Mau., we should imagine, is quite
of a contrary opinion. We have here a section of
the life of Mahomet, but so laden with notes and
dissertations,so spun out and wire-drawn,u to make
us thankful that Gibbon was ignorant of the Orien-
tal authorities Mr. Muir his found time studiously
to hunt up and elaborately to quote. The work was
undertaken, and the study of Oriental authorities
first entered upon, writes our author, at the instance
of the Rev. C. G. P. Pander, D.D., who urged that a
biography of the prophet of Islam, suitable for the
perusal of his followers, should be compiled in the
indostanee language, from the early sources,
acknowledged by themselves to be authentic and
authorotative. To the English reader acquainted
with the fiftieth chapter of Gibbon, after all, Mr.
Muir offers little new. Gibbon thinks that Mshomet

was subject to epilepsy-4 ealumny of the Greek.
Mr. Muir believe, that such was She fact.
Gibbon laughs at the idea of Mahomet, when a boy
of thirteen, travelling in Syria, finding the materials
out of which to frame the Koran. Mr. Muir
believes he did.. With his usual sneer, Gibbon
suspects that Mahomet secretly smiled at the enthu-
siasm of his youth and the credulity of his proselytes.
Mr. Muir argues that " Mahomet was sincere, that
it would be against the analogy of his entire life to
suppose a continuing sense of fraud, a consciousness
that the whole was a fabrication of his own mind,
an imposition upon his followers, an impious
assumption of the name of the Almighty." In con-
clusion, let us say that Mr. Muir is more theological
than biographical, and his discussion of the Koran
and its souress, whether Christian or Jewish, com-
prises pretty well all that may be said upon the
question. Undoubtedly the research of the author
has been very groat.

letionata of &rase Englishmen ead Stotehmim. By WALTER
Ilkoniter. London: Chapman and HAL
This is a book to be read and enjoyed at leisure. The men
about whom Mr. Bagehot writes are the drat Edinburgh
reviews.; also William Cowper, Edward Gibban,Bishop But-
ler, Shakespeare, Shelley, Hartley Coleridge, Sir Robert
Peel, and Lord—not Mr.-11aoselay, as Mr. Bagehot
persists in call* him. Of the Essays than on
Butler and Cowper and the Edinburgh reviewers are,
we think, the best, but all of them display considerable
mealy dad power, gnat store of information, and command
of buigusge. "Review writing," says our author, "is
use of the futons of modern literature. Many able men
really give themselves up to it." Mr. Bagehot has written
about "'views' till he has become one himself. A little
more ossAansetfon—a little more fir,—a little more brisk-
ness when he L smart—and he need fear few rivals near the
throne.

DEFEAT.

(From the Bow)
The Bowring episode of last year was repeated
laid night, under the had of Mr. Milner Gibson, with the
manse coalition of parties and the mune samosa That gentle-
man's censure of government for not having sent a written
reply to Count Waialeale(' s despatch. wan curled by a majo-
rity of 19, the numbers being 215 for the original motion,
234 against. it. The consequences of such a division must
be serious, :probably more so than the majority has thought
flt to estimate. We forbear to anticipate the decision of go-

mernment on a point which happens at this moment to affect
imperial interests of unspeakable importance ; but it is plain
that unless motives of paramount duty should oblige Lord
Palmerston to retain office for the present, the simplestcourre
would be for him to resign, and leave to the radical and tory
factions, who, though diametrically opposed to each other
on the bill, have united for the purpose of defeating its
' proposers, the teak of deciding by which of them the govern-
ment of the country shall be canted on. • • The
&bete last night was not on the " Conspiracy to
Murder Bill," but on the wholly distinct question—whether
Lord Pabnerston should not have given Count Waleweki a
written reply to his despatch. Diversions of this sort are
so regular a part of our parliamentary tactics that it would
bends to object to them, even though in this case the opera-
tion has been contrary to all precedent. Bat what ought
Lord Pearl:eaten to have done? The members on the
oppontice benches saw no difficulty in the case. According
to Mr. Walpole, Mr. Henley, Mr. Gladstone, Sir R.
Peel, mad some others, It would have been the simplest
thing in the world to tall the French government
that, eery as we were at the Emperor and Empress's fright,
and wishing them es lucky the next time their lives were
attempted, nevertheless it was no affair of ours. Foreigners
of all sorts were welcome to our shore, welcome to come
end welcome to go when they like. It was not, however,
oar custom to molest them so long as they behaved well,
and we did not trouble ourselves about the way in which
they might carry out their political quarrels with their
own countries. We felt it more important to primarve the
tight of asylum, and, whether the thing asked was right
or wrong, the British people must respectfully but firmly
aKailll to go out of its way to please Napoleon 111. Such
ea
sower, properly passed through the Circumlocution-
_

office, and Put into 'good, lurd,exasperating diplomatic
English, might not, indeed, have pacified Louis Napoleon,
but it would have had the far more important effeot of prov-
Mg to the whole world, the French among them, what very
plucky people the English were, and bow little they feared
either God or man. No doubt the popular feelings rather
incline to this course. We cannot, however, pub quite out
of consideration that Lord Pabnenton wee reepenaible for
the course to be taken, and he might possibly prefer cue
which would not alienate the good feelinga of the French
Emperor and people, and perhaps bring us into serious colli-
sion' with them. No doubt, Lord Palmerston did take
that view of the cue, end, with all due deference to Mr.
Milner Gibson, it wu at least natural, if not entirely per-
donable. • • The real question last night was whether
Lord Palmerston had or had not maintained the honour of
his country in his recent oommunicatione with the French
government, and the house, by a majority of 19, has, for the
present, decided that he bad not.
(From the MorniNg Post.)

Last night the government was defeated on the Conspiracy
to Murder Bill by a majority of nineteen, the numbers being
two hundred and fifteen and two hundred and thirty-four.
It will be recollected that stout this time lest year the Man-
chester peaty brought forward the Chinese resolution, which
ended in a similar defeat of the government. Mr. Milner
Gibson, who then acted with Mr. Cobden, scpears to have
acquired great skill in the art of manufacturing "coalitions."
Ten days ego the Haase of Commons affirmed the prin-
ciple of the hill by a majority of two hundred—a majority to
which the Conservative party largely contributed, and lest
night, with no new Lite disclosed, and with no new
arguments adduced, two hundred and thirty-four honourable
gentlemen were found ready to reverse their former deaden.
The country will be at a loss to account for this most extra-
ordinary, sudden, and unaocountable Inconsistency. Bat
Mr. Gibson's policy can be easily understood. His advocacy
of the Chinese insults to England very properly led to his
astrachan from Manchester; and during his temporary retire-
ment, pondering upon the fleeting nature of thopopular voice,
he speedily discovered that the crotchets of the pesos party
were not Llely to lead him again into parliament. But
Ashton his remedied the punishment which Manchester bad
indicted; the right hon. gentleman hue now had an oppor-
tunity of insidiously concocting a ooalition, the inevitable
result of which moat be to embroil this country with France.'
The result of the division of lad night can only be re-
garded as a menace and a threat on the part of the Com-
mons of England to a loyal and faithful ally, who has
simply relied on the justice of this country to supply •
defect in Its laws which the attempt of the Itch of January
had rendered disgracefully apparent. In spite of the asser-
tion which is made by Lord Palmerston and the Attorney-
General, that the bill of the government had been prepared
before the mosdpt of Count Walewski's despatch, the coali-
tionists, the conservatives, the men of the Manchester school,
and the old whigs, of whom young Mr. Byng may be taken
se a sample, voted in favour of a resolution the result of which
will be to leave the English law in this state—that Allsop, •
British subject, if captured, may be hanged, and Bernard, •
foreigner, who is already in custody, can only receive the
insignificant and inadequate punishment of fine and imprint-
sent. The responsibility of the consequences of this division
must rest upon the heads of those who, for the purposes of
faction, have imperilled the best interests of that country,
the honour of which they would sustain by covering the
attempts of the coospirator and easamin.
A meeting of the cabinet will to held this day, at which
ministers will decide upon their future course.

Lord Palmersion's oonduct throughout this palatal affolr

has been moat =gracious. Not only hes he given a shock
to the alliance between France end England, and caused ill-

haling to Grime in the minds of the inhabitants of both coun-
tries, but he has lowered England in the eyes of the world.
And this is the minister who ie henceforward, we are told by
his admirers, to be master of India. Because he has failed,
and failed lamentably, in his method of oceducting affairs
with neighbouring states, parliament is to entrust him with
additional powers, and thus to render secure the despotism
that it dreads. The majority of last night gives an em-
phatic denial to this impeachment. Its signification is not
in the laut degree involved ; the Premier himself
confessed that the meaning was Intelligible enough. No man
understands better than Lord Palmerston the purport of a
vote of the House of Commons. "It is plain," said this
groat authority, "that if the home, after a fall and delibe-
rate discuesion, prefers the amendment to the proposal, that
the bill be mad $ second time, then am be but one interpre-
tation put upon such a decision." Admirable sagacity
The cheers with which that carfsmion was moaned showed
that the dictatorship was at an end. For once Lord Palmer-
ston was right ; the House of Commons really had platted hie
demised In his hands. There could be no doubt about the
matter. It was done after due reflection and deliberation,
and the weakest al wash edministrations has perished
. . .
