DROWNED WHILE BATHlNG.—Francisco Manero,
assistant underwriter to the Thames and Mersey
Marine Insurance Company, was accidentally drowned on
Friday, the sth inst., while" bathing in the Thames, off
Richmond, where he was spending the summer months.
Only one man was near to witness the sad disaster, which
took place at Duke's hole a place 15 feet deep, and well
known to the inhabitants, but which, it is to be regretted,
was not marked out as a warning to bathers. The deceased
gentleman was very well known at Lloyd's, and was greatly
beloved and respected.
A WIFE SOLD FOR A SFIILLING.—On Monday
Hannah Parkes, boatwoman, was indicted at the
Jhester Assizes for unlawfully marrying Samuel Thomp-
son, her former husband, Thomas Parkes, being then alive.
A witness named Rachel Woodward, the wife of a boatman,
stated that the prisoner was sold for a shilling in " Brum-
magem"B fair, where she was taken with a halter round her
neck. This was done by Thomas Parkes, her alleged former
husband, and consented to by the prisoner, who had " had
enough of him." She was bought by Samuel Thompson,
who married her, and afterwards Henry Noon took her to
, wife. These marriages took place some years ago, since
which time Parkes had died. The jury returned a verdict
of acquittal.

TUE SLATE QUARRIES OF WALES. -TEIO demand

for slate continues far in advance of the !supply, and
where good slate is produced there are 12 months' orders
on the books at the present time. A number of companies
have recently been promoted with the view of commencing
operations on new ground, but, with very few exceptions,
complete failure has been the result. In one instance no
less than £30,000 was expended, and the deluded share-
holders found in the end that there was no vein of slate
whatever in the property, and, in fact, they might as well
have thrown their money into the sea. Many of the
schemes that have failed were no doubt promoted with the
express object of securing " preliminary expenses," and
after the promoters had secured their bait nothing more
was heard of them. Certainly, some half a dozen substan-
tial projects have been brought forward, and, with the
good and honast management which prevails, the share-
holders have a fair expectation of getting a reasonable
return on the capital, elate quarries, like mining generally,
require a special knowledge of the geology of the district,
or else disappointments are pretty certain to be the ulti-
mate result,

LITERATURE,

Charles Dickens's New Serial Story.
Our Mutual Friend. By Charles Dickens. No. 4.
Chapman end Hsli.

A wonderful number is this Number Four of
" Oar Mutual Friend." It is subdivided into
three chapters. The Eleventh being descriptive of
" Podsnappery !" The Twelfth revealing to us
what the Honest Man himself evidently regards as
the sacred droppings of " the sweat of his (the
honest man's) brow !" Chapter the Thirteenth
recounting with eli the vividness of reality " The
Tracking of the Bird of Prey I" To which of these
three subdivisions of the August instalment of
Our Mutual Friend," we should have to give the
palm were we required to do so, we hardly know
—and we say this, moreover, after having read
them through (as, in truth, we usually do in regard
to these green numbers) twice consecutively. Pod-
snappery, we may be certain already, is a phrase
that will stick. It is a something distinctly
generic. In its way, too, it is in a
certain sense socially, as a thing generic, here in
England, one almost, we might say, among our
National Institutions. Podsnappery, in effect, is a
something we have known, every one of us, more
or less intimately, all fur lives. And yet it is a
somethirg, too, kr all that, that, until now, has
remained altotother unnoticed—at any rate wholly
undescribed—until at length, in one of his happy
tnom'Snts of observation, Mr Dickens has turned the
%ens of his marvellous camera upon it, hitting it off
in its every shade and outline to a very hair,
to the veriest nicety The precise flourish
of Mr. Podsnap's arm, sweeping everythined
behind him, and consequently clean out r. ess..
istence—don't we recognise it upon tthe instant ?
The "young person," again, she "who is described
—in a sense wholly opposite., of course, to that
which might be implied by any alangeke applica-
tion of the phrase—she who is referred to, as in a
manner " all cheek"—a human institution perpe-
tually liable, so to speak, to burst into blushes at
any or indeoa at no provocation—are we not in-
timate with her long ago as a sort of social riddle
of 'the Sphinx, defying ad attempts at any rea-
sonable solution of it? "There appearing to be
no line of demarcation between the young person's
excessive innocence, and another person's guiltiest
knowledge!" The delineation here of all the perfectly
new and yet perfectly familiar forms and hues of
Podsnappery, is thoroughly enjoyable and laughter-
moving. The Company, the Plate, the definition of
the Fine Arts according to the rates of Podsnappery
—the irresistibly ridiculous, application of that de-
finition to the quadrit;e figures as danced in the
Podsnap drawing-rooms—(" 1. Getting up at eight,
and shaving close at a quarter past; 2, Breakfast..
ing at nine; 3. Going to the City at ten; 4. Coming
home at half-past five; 5. Dining at seven, and
the grand chain " furniture walk,"
like a " revolving funeral," after the perform-
ance of the Podsnap quadrilles—the " haunch of
mutton vapour-bath"--the " bathers " in it—the
" well-conducted automaton " who is hired to play
the pianoforte—the Foreign gentleman who is
treated like a deaf child—who is talked to about
London Londres London "—who is told " We do
not say Ozer, we say Other—the letters are T and H,
their sound is th, th ! " The rash gentleman who
startles everyone at the dinner table by essaying to
talk to this unfortunate Foreigner, with a sudden
" Esker "—and then stopping (with the eyes of all
Europe upon him)—'' Meis, oui," says the foreign
gentleman, so addressed, "Est-ce qua ? Quoi,
done ? " Nothing earning of it, however,
even under that embarassing encouragement—
the gentleman with the lumpy forehead who
has cried ",esker" finding nothing more than "esker"
behind the lumps, and so lapsing into silence. The
fun of all this, the extravagant humour of it, dis-
cernible at every minute touch in these wonderful
little sketches from the life at the hands of our
master humorist—we commend not with words,
but with laughter. The very arrival of " the
Nutmeg "—as though it were a cannon bell
bouncing open the drawing-room door, and so dis-
solv:ng the procession of bathers in the midst of
their funereal walk among the furniture—tke very
arrival of" that fragrant article, dispersed through
several glasses of coloured warm water," rises,
as one may say, to the dignity and importance
of an event in the records of Podsnappery ! Won-
derfully different in every way is the account sub-
sequently given in this number, of the way in which
the already tangled skein of the plot is beginning
to be rapidly, yet further and more inextricably,
tangled together. The character of the whole story--
according to our estimate, meaning that most de-
lightful fellow, the nonchalant Barrister Eugene (a
perfect original and a perfect gentleman !)—is here
brought out, more vividly than ever, to view., and is
already taken to our hearts, permanently, as one
among the very best of Charles Dickens's creations.
"My respected father," otherwise M. R. F., sounds
military, says Eugene, " and rather like the Duke
of Wellington"—" Without lime my existence
would be unilluminated by a ray of hope"—" Two
burglaries and an assassination under the meanest
circumstances"—" In reply to the question of my
honourable and gallant friend, I can have no hesi-
tation in replying (it not being inconsistent with
the public service) that those accents were the
accents of the T'other Governor"—any one who
has read this re w number of " Our Mutual
Friend" will recognise as reminders of the in-
imitable touches of quiet humour imparting a very
charm to that delightful character—Eugene!
Happily though Marcus Stone augured by his ar-
tistic pencilling of the first illustration in No. 1.
" The Bird of Prey," he has been getting, since then,
simply worse and worse as an illustrator of Dickens,
vice Phiz and Craikshank—the most eharacterless
among all his embellishments to "Our Mutual
Friend" being these two vapid woodcuts in
Part 4, entitled respectively " Waiting for
Father" and "Podsnappery,"

Trifles for Travellers. By Rolx,rt Henniker, ALA

Pp. 150. Murray and Co.
Whether the third word of the title of this
volumette refers to Travellers on the Road of Life
who may be in quest of a few apophthegms,or to mere
everyday Travellers by Railway who are in quest
of a little light reading with which to wile away
the tedium of a long journey, there is no chance
whatever of uncertainty in regard to the meaning of
the first word of the title, namely, " Trifles." And
it is a pbraae that is here not only perfectly com-
prehensible, but precisely applivible. The con-
tents of the little book are, to a t, just that—
viz., the merest 'Lillis. They are so many literary
waifs and strays (from the same pen all of them)—.
collected together, for the nonce, from such out of
the way corners as an odd column here or there in
the Alnwick, Mercury. Added to this, they are, in
one sense, about all things in general, and yet, in
soother, about nothing at all in particular. If there
is wisdom in them, it is certainly la sagesse en pan.
tougies, The costume of the writer is a sort of
scholarly deshabille. There is a taste of Greek
upon his title page and a flavour, too, of Latin.
He deals here, moreover, in the body of his tiny
work, with not a few old saws, applying them
sometimes rather aptly by sundry modern instances.
The Trifles of Mr Henniker are at any rate of this
value, that they are hardly to be described as—
unconsidered. They are sometimes well thought
out, and are—some of them at least—in their little
prattling way, entertaining.

TEE O'CONNELL MONMENT.

-

DUBLIN, Tuesday Morning.—From the earliest hour
yesterday morning the streets of Dublin were thronged by
persons wearing green sashes and rosettes, taking up places
on the footways, from Ne hich they would have a good view
of the coming procession, or repairing to the various places
of rendezvous for the several trades. Tho people were
all attired in holiday dress, and very generally respect-
able and well behaved. The railways brought in large
numbers during the morniag, and several of the country
municipal contingents only arrived an hour bsfore the
demonstration began, Having assembled at Stephen's-
green the associated trades took the lead of the proces-
sion, and having so far passed along the route arranged,
arrived opposite the City Hall at a quarter to one
o'clock, when the first banner to pass, profusely decorated
with green, had an inscription to the " I‘leraory of O'Con-
nell—the Immortal Liberator," the band which followed it
playing a solemn air. The men bearing it, and the greater
number of the processionists, wore rosettes of green, some-
times intermingled with white, but moat unrelieved by this
addition. Sectional banners seemed to mark stages in the
procession, and these all bore two harp and cross. The
plasterers, carpenters, br.exlayers, butchers, tailors, letter-
printers, naval r-nrificers, and the various other trades,
numberin76 above 20, were beaded by carriages and four,
arf. nanners, ornamented with miscellaneous patriotic and
seetarian devices. It was remarkable that a member of the
trades carried flags on which were displayed "Home Artis"
and " Encourage Native Sculptors"—inscriptions meant,
doubtless, to suggest to the committee that the orders for
the statue should be given to an Irishman and a resident.
Differences of opinion have existed among the promoters of
the movement on this point, which are not yet set at rest.
The regular brick and stonelayers displayed a picture of
the Bank of Ireland —" Our Old House at Homo"—sur-
mounted by a harp. The flag which followed bore the in-
scription, "Stand together, Bathers all,'' and " Oh, for the
swords of former days," with a man bearing a pike, and a
round tower in the background. At this point the various
Roman Catholic tontine and benefit societies, under the
patronage of St. Vincent de Paul, appeared, bearing
harps and old Irish crowns and crosses. A painting
followed, with a harp, supported by O'Connell at one side
and Popo Pius in the other. Seven large flags of various
colcurs, representing provincial societies, succeeded. Next
came a picture of the Saviour, as the Good Shepherd,
highly ornamented with flowers. This brought up the Lade-
pendent Order of Odd Fellows and Foresters—societies
which did not exist in O'Connell's time, and, as late impor-
tations from England, do not enjoy much favour from the
Roman Catholic hierarchy. The men were most respectably
attired, and wore sashes of green silk. A party of the
Oddfellows were on horseback. The Foresters created
peculiar amusement and interest from the fact that several
theatrically-dressed individuals, in buskins, cocked hats,
plumes, and parti-coloured garments, entered into the
composition of their display. Here the eccle4iastical
portion of the demonstration began with the boys of St.
Laurence O'Toole's and other Roman Catholic charity
schools. Dr Spratt followed in a carriage at the head of
the children of his Orphanage, and a number of Carmelite
and other societies having passed, a personation of an old
Irish harper appeared, in a coach, dressed in antique cos-
tume, bearing his harp, which, however, was unstrung and
silent. Next a flag met the eye, showing Erin weeping at
O'Conneli's urn. Flags bearing the portraits, apparently,
of bishops with mitres and croziers. The Confraternities of
St. Joseph, St. Saviour's, SS. Michael and John's, the Pri-
mitive Carmelite Order, and St. Paul's Confraternity, pre•
ceded by carriages and four, with large banners of harps,
surmounted by gilt crosses, and occasionally by shamrocks.
Hero seventy-two priests walked two and two, the
general procession being four abreast; after them four-
teen carriages with bishops and priests, and again largo
flags exhorting to an "encouragement of native sculptors.''
Next came a large structure, fully thirty feet from the
ground, raised on a carriage, with ascending steps, and two
large vacant chairs at top, intended for speakers, The
" guild of the Blessed Virgin Mary" bore a large religious
banner, A number of trades here re-appeared—butchers,
barbers, hatters, bakers, tailors (this body had a large ban-
ner with figures representing Adam and Eve, in purls na-
turalibus, saving the fig leaves), chimney cleaners, poul-
terers, silkmen, saddlers, and sawyers. After another
party of horsemen came the " Sons of Crispin"—always
an important element in Dublin processions—who seemed
to have been at greater pains than usual to make a
gaudy show. A man in armour, very ill-favoured, and
quite an exception to the general body, bestrode a sorry
horse, but the remainder of the shoemakers' display com-
pensated for this weakness in their plan. The Slaters
exhibited a banner with Erin weeping, The naval arti-
ficer; a fine set of men, were well received by the crowd,
which was particularly well behaved at the points where
we saw the procession pass. The movement was very slow,
and the cheering anything but marked, even when the
stone appeared, raised on an elevated platform, some 20
feet or more from the ground, drawn by eight horses, and
surmounted by two stalwart masons, in green sashes.
At half-past two o'clock the corporation passed the City
Hall, preceded by the macebearers and the city marshal.
The Lord Mayor's secretary occupied the Lord Mayor's
carriage in front. Next came the Lord Mayor, and his
chaplain, in the celebrated gingerbread coach, drawn by six
horses, and supported by the beefeaters. The gallow glasses,
however, were absent. The aldermen and town councillors
followed, in private carriages, and various nondescript
vehicles. Several of them who had taken a prominent
part, seemed to be disappointed at the frigidity of the
masses. With the exception of the corporation, indeed,
the procession was r,:m.trkal,ly deficient in a representation
of the higher classes of Roman Catholics. The corporation
having filed by, there followed a train, not very long, of
cabs and jaunting cars with women and children. The
shops throughout the ci, y have been all shut up to the time
at which we write, and business has been entirely sus-
pended.

Oa arrival at the site the Lord .llayor proceedcd to a
platform which had been erected for the occasion, and
covered with awning,

Sir John Gray thon came forward amid much cheering,
and road an address to the Ric-ht Hon. Peter Paul
M'Swiney, Lord Meyor of Dublin, to which the Lord

•
Mayor made a suitable reply.
The stone having been laid with the usual formalities.
The Lord Mayor then addressed the assemblage as fol-
lows :—Fellow- citiwns, already you have placed me under

many obligations to you. I owe you much, because you
have bestowed much. Highly as I prize the many favours
hitherto conferred upon me, I value the trust reposed in me
this day as the highest honour of them all. lam proud of

day because I recognise in it th dawn of a new era in
he history of our country. (Loud cheers.) I am proud

of the People—the virtuous, the peaceable, and the

. . . _
civilised people of Ireland, for they have proved to the
world by their conduct to-day that the principles

and teachings of their great leader still guide their

councils and still direct their movements. (Cheers.)

The vast assemblage of this day, recalling as it does the
monster meetings of twenty years ago, augurs well and

hopefully for the future. The citizens mingled with the
people from the provinces, who same in myriads from the

north and south, and irom the east and west, obedient to
the magic sound of ono word, and animated by one elec-
tric feeling—that word, O'Connell; that feeling, grati-
tude. (Loud applause.) The people have met to hundreds
of thousands, not fur the purpose of paying homage to

some renowned alwiral—not for the purpose of psrpetuat-

hog the fame of some general—of one of whom it was
truly said—
" Whose game was empire,
And whose stakes were thrones ;
Whose table earth,
Whose dice were human hence."
No, but you have coma here to offer the tribute of a nation's
homage to a chieftain who successfully led the Irish people
through bloodless Victories and to peaceful triumphs, who
laid the foundation of whatever we enjoy of civil and reli-

gious freedom, and upon whose banner we may read the

following lines :
" We want no aid to barricad.,,
To show a front to wrong
We have a citadel ill truth,
More durable than stone."
(Cheers) Wa are here to-day assembled in vast numbers,
as of old, without the least infraction of the law, and with-
out disturbance and disorder of any kind, thus exhibiting
a living testimonial to the genius and teaching of our de-
parted tribune—of him whose potent voice so often roused,
and whose wisdom so long guided our nation through many
struggles and to many triumphs. (Uheers.) Emancipation,
civil and religious liberty, proudly and nobly emblazon the
scutcheon ct O'Connell; hut that which was tho deafest
wish of his heart, as it was the chief aim of his life, re•

mains yet to be inscribed on his shield—nerd I say that I

allude to the legislative independence of his native coun-
try ? I congratulate you upon the su3cess of this day's

great demonstration. (Rear, hear.) It refficts the highest
honcur upon the different bodies that took part in it, and
it endorses the words recently spoken by tho Lord Chief
Justice of the QuceL's Bench, that our population, city and
country, presents a marvellous immunity from crime and

disorder (hear, hear), I may venture, then, to suggest to
you to return to your homes in the same good order and
good fellowship. Remember that sobriety, unity, andifra-
ternity are the characteristics of a great, brave, and gene..
rous people (hear, hear.) R-Jnember that, in laying this
first stone, we renew cur ple,:zes to be faithful to the prin-
ciples and teaching of O'Connell. If this be our resolve, it
we act together as one mass, we shall lay the ionndation oi
a regenerated and prosperous country (loud cheers.)
