which made it necessary to have the iiLt made out before
the (Fultm.4 were completed.
Mr. ROEBUCK asked what was meant by "
Mr. 'W ALPO LE repnat,d that persons of certain agos
and 11,,i4ht w3uld be liable, unless exempt under the 42(1
of George 111. •
Mr. BRIGHT thought that unless the ballot were had
recourse to it would not be necessary to proceed to an
apportioanoent of districts. He urged the withdrawal of
the chose.
Mr. WALPOLE maintained the necessity. of fixing
tha (loofas, to provide against the contingency to which
he had referred.

M. BRIGHT asked whether eny deficiency in one.
district would bay() to be mado up by another?
Mr. WALPOLE said, that a district which had fur-
ni3hed.it% cpota would ha exempt.

SE-YMOUR, and tit-. V. SNmr suggested the post
ponement of the clause.

quotas.—(dear, hear.) .Ia reply to Sir G. Grey, the
Itight ll,mourable Gmtlatnan added, Caat the provi-
:demi of the Bth clause Would be necessary only in the
event of having recourse:to the ballot; and that by the
10th clause they would raise a certain ameuut of
volunteers in each county, anal probably only
thl proportionaf,e number which each county ought to
furnish; but he had prepared a proviso to that clause to
the effect that when .a county had furnished its proper
number of volunteers, it should also he allei,vi,il to fur-
nish a supplemental number, with the view of raising the
whole number of men re.qu!red in the aggregate.
Sir C. WOOL) declared himself to be still at a lass to
understand the meaning of the Government.
Mr. WALPOLE—If the Right Hon. Gentleman
would take the Bill in his hand and examine it he would
see that there were three divisions, and that down to the
end of the 9th clause it provided that a certain number
of men were to be ruisod us Z., militia I)rec: it would fol-
low, thercf6re, as a matter of course that these men
would be raised in the ordinary way that the militia had
hitherto been raised under the .121 George 111., viz., by
having recourse to the ballot. For that purpose it was
necessary to fix the proper quota which each county
was to furnish, giving the Queen in Council the power
to alter those quotas as might be deemed necessary.
From the 10th to the end of the 15th Clause it was
provided that in the operation of raising the force,
the . necessity for the ballot might be superseded by
allowing men to volunteer. And from the 15th clause
the Bill enabled the Crown to have recourse to the bal-
lot, after giving credit to the different counties, subdi-
visions of counties, and parishes, for the number of men
they had furnished by voluntary enlistment. The pass-
ing of this clause would, therefore be simply to say,
that if recourse were had to the ballot under the 42d
of GeOrge 111., the Crown should have the power of
fixing the quotas.
Sir C. WOOD then asked if it were intended that, in
the first instance, a certain number of men should be the
quota Of militiamen for each county in England, to
be raised in that county, either by voluntary enlistment
or by ballot ?
Mr. WALPOLE—The intention of the Bill was to
raise volunteers in certain quotas from each of the
counties in England, and to have recourse to the ballot
where they were insufficient to fill up the quotas.
In answer to an observation from Mr. ROEBUCK,
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said the object of the
Bill was, first of all to raise a gross number of militia-
men; but that gross number was to be distributed over
the country in certain proportions to each. Those pro-
portions must be ascertained; and the eighth section
provided, therefore, that the quotas should be
fixed by tier Majesty in Council. But the quotas being
fixed, voluntary enlistment was what they proposed to
look to is the first instance to supply the required force;
consequently, it was necessary that the quotas should
be established as a preliminary measure to ascertain the
number of militiamen who were to serve for each county.
If they could get the exact number by voluntary enlist-
ment everything would have been done that was neces-
sary; but if they did not get the exact number, then the
ballot would come in aid to supply the deficiency—bat
only in that event.—(Hear, hear.) Thus it would be
• seen that it was absolutely necessary to begin by fixing
the quota. It was the very foundation of all their ope-
rations, and without it they could not proceed one step,
either in the way of voluntary enlistment or theleallot.
Mr. ROEBUCK—Did be understand the Right Hon.
Gentleman to mean that in case the Middlesex quota,
for instance, was fixed at 5,000 men, that county would
not be allowed to raise more than that number; so that,
if it proposed to raise 8,000, 3,000 of them would be re-
jected?
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL—With all due sub-
mission to my Hon. and Learned Friend, we should not
reject one.—(Laughter and cheers.)
Mr. M. GIBSON believed the making oat of the lists
and the appeals formed one of the worst features of the
militia system, giving rise to a litigation which would
be needless, except 'older a compulsory system. The
Bth clause, as it stood, ought not to peas, because it in-
volved questions of fitness, &a., which would be useless
unless toe ballot were resorted to, and therefore, until
it were decided that there should be a ballot, the clause
()opt to be postponed. He therefore moved that the
clause be postponed.
Sir G. GREY said he understood the 80.000 were to
be raised by voluntary enlistment. Bun so far as that
went, the "fitness and liability" of the men mattered
not ie this clause, and these words could be omitted.
The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER, said the
intention of the Government was that the quota should
b.) the basis of the inereese, endeavouring to supply it
first by the voluntary enlistment, acd thou falling back
on the ballot. By the clause the number would only be
fixed, not the particular men.
Sir C. W 001) understood the clauses as they bad been
explained, but ho conceived it desirable that the words
"fit and liable" should be omitted.
Tho AT PORNEY GENERAL agreed in this opinion,
and to strike out the words. The el iwa.e ran thus:—" it
shall be lawful for her Majesty from time to time to take
into consideration the number of men
.fit and liable to
serve in the militia who aro resident in the said
several counties and places, and to ascertain and fix the
number of militiamen who shall, until other quotas
shall bo fixed, in like manner serve for each such
county and place, so as to apportion as near as may be
the whole number of militiamen by the Act directed to be
raised among all the said counties and places, accord-
ing to the number of men fit and liable to serve therein
respectively, and the numbers so fixed shalt be the
quotas of the several counties and places until other
quotas aro appointed in like manner."
Mr. GIBSON maintained that the clause should still
be postponed. ,
Mr. ROEBUCK argued that the ballot being aban-
doned the clause would not he required.—(Divide.)
The ATTORNEY GENE it AL said the Government
could not be certain that the voluntary enlistment would
succeed to the extent desired, and so the compulsory
clauses were requisite, that they might fall upon the
ballot.
Mr. T. EGERTON thought there was no objection
to the clause as it stood.—(Hear, hear.)
Mr. ROEBUCK and Mr. MO WATT suggested that while
in one county there was a deficiency, in the next there
might be an overplus of men volunteering, and it would
be a hardship to put the ballot in force to make up the
&Twit:icy in the tormer.
Mr. WALPOLE said that was provided for by the
discretion reposed in the Crown, and might be further
provided for by a proviso (in the 10th clause) that the
deficiency in such a case should not be made up by the
ballot.
Mr. BRIGHT considered the clause would be as ob-
jectionable as before, even after the Attorney• General's
amendment, and pressed its postponement. It would put
people to trouble which would be useless, if the ballot
i were negatived.
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL was willing to divide
on the clause with words " fit and liable" retained in it,
as the omission did not satisfy the Honourahlo Gentle-
man.—(Divide.)
Mr. MOWATT suggested a schedule,. with aslist of
exceptions and exemptions in the existing, militia laws,
which would much diminish the objections to this clause
and to the Bill in general.—(Divide, divide.)•
Colonel THOMPSON said it was not necessary to
define the number of mos " fit and liable" to serve.

Then is the charm of novelty in them volumes to

home life, and who 'weary of being repeatedly
foinced bow the gorgeous' banquet is succeeded-by
the brilliant bull, and in what mummer the votariEs of

feshion, carry on their pursuits in our native isle.
The heroine is English,: however; and although, on
the whole, not a very favourable specimen of our races
she yet continues to infuse some portion of the in-
trinsic decorum and propriety of -Albion into the
reckless society BO unsteady morals of. the foreign
coteries *into whioh she is plunged. She drew her
fate on herself, it is true, but nevertheless none can
refuse sympathy to .the misfortunes and injuries of
one so gifted and sensitive, awl in misrepresented.
Her genuine affections Were mistaken for a passing
passion—her enthusiastic adinirstion of the beautiful
for the affectation of display, entl the, pride- which
prompted her to conceal her Inisetiss was supposed to
be the triumph of her, suckle:les. Ooe thought sug-
gests itself—tnat the author, who is said to be three
perts foreign, has not pourtrnyed to the reader a very
levon'sable accesunt of fereign men end 'metiers.

Within the mind is lett uuruled.be disc:indite etel the
heart untouched by charity.. It the "garb et old
G-aur has been superseded by modern twee:Woes,
surely the" fire of old Home''ought to be still found
burning. Apart from these national reflections, gee' es'
information may be derived from the-various deecrip-
tions of entertainments that tai:© place.; also consi-
derable. eloquence characterises the pictures g4een of
scenery and cities in that fair country. 'Venice, the
queen of the waters, is ehadowed tprth with her pa-
laces of yore still crowning with sublimity their pre-
sent ruins. Naples is entered in the majestic stillness
of the twilight-7hour,- and the effect thus produced
on the beholders is ably depicted. Altogether no one
can fail to be interested in the work as a whole ; for
if not reflecting life's most happy hours, it represents
its most glorious scenes in its most gorgeous hues.
While-the adventures of the beauty in the gay scenes
of life in which'she moved adorn the tale, it is to be
hoped that her premature and awful death may point
amoral toll inexperienced and infatuated, rushing
heedlessly into temptation. These descriptions con-
tain great beauty of style and force of language
What pen, what pencil might hope-to render even a
faint idea of that scene of enchantment! The sun was
sinking in a sea of crimson and gold behind the pro-
montory, gilding Vesuvius with his last rays, and irradiat-
ing undulating hills and cliffs of Castellamao Sorrento
and Ulassa with alternate tints of the softest lilac and
rose. In the far background the distant mountains of
Salerno and Amalfi towered one above the other like
Golopean steps, casting their denticulated crests on the '
horizon in every shade, from the richest violet to the
deepest purple. At their feet lay the limpid Mediter-
ranean, a sheet of sapphire spangled with tiny sails,
like specks of snow resting upon its waters; bounded
at one extremity by the circling shores of Portici Re-
sins and lone del Greco, whose gardens and groves of
orange and lime bathe in the very water's brink, and at
the other closed in by the little island of Capri, glorying
in the rich mellow hue which flooded the whole land-
scape, melting every outline and every traced line into
one soft harmonious whole.

" Rose exclaimed in rapture that to die without see.
ing Naples was not to have lived; and Amelia remarked
that Naples was the only place she knew in the world
where the mere sensatiott of existence was enjoyment.
" There is a tone of profound and touching melan-
choly which permit's much of the Italian church music,
that'renders it unlike all other. Alone it is gifted with
the power of awakening every human sympathy, and
°touching every human affection; yet, in grandeur and
solemnity, it cedes the palm to none. No one"denies
that Handel and Mendelssohn are sublime. yet pales_
trine and Marcellino are:sublimer still, but while the
German strikes you with awe, or chills you with fear,
the Italian overwhelms you with all the contending
emotions of love, pity, and remorse. A single hymn
of Palestrina, a single chord of Baia or Baini, nay, the
simplest litany, the evening prayer of the•nuns and pea-
santry in a convent church of Italy, thrills through one's
veins and fills one's eyes with tears. Who that listens
to the glorious Missa Papa Marcell,' or the divine
chant of the unrivalled Miserere' of the Sistine, that
is'not irresistibly forced to compsre them to-the lamen-
lations of the Seraphim, as ho feels their accents and
superhuman beauty, and anguish quiver through his
every fibre, till they seem to rend his very heart-strings.
Ho must be dull and unimaginative, indeed, who can
leave an Italian church unmoved end unimpressed."

Far Iron :telt/a-leg brief recapitulation of the facts:
--lit the autienn a LiAt sear Dr. Beeher, a friend of the
latesly, wes oceepied to
,p;&.:,Mi. engagements for
tdanete Wagner in Lend ate. sod Paris. , He naturally
came into contact with Jewelry, and received from
that gentleman a format-paver coutaining his usual sti-
engaeng the services of a performer.
Thisoap%-er „el.i treeed 151011/bitory clause which forbade
the uppearanee rf Madlle Wagner at any private con-
certs. See., while her engagement 'with Mr. Lumley
should subsist. When the doeument was shewn to the
Wagners, they objected to this aurae, and drew up
another paper
sptc:s, save, that this prohibitory
similar--are believe—to it in other re-
clause was omitted. To
this paper the Wagners affixed their signatures, and it
was conveyed by Becher to Mr. Lumley. In such a
shape thf* manager would have nothing to do with it,
and insisted upon the restoration of the veto. To this
Becher assonted—added the clause—and signed it as
agent to the Wagner& So far as it turns upon this
point
ntthe question throughout is a simple one of agency.
Dr. leacher the right to sign as agent for, the Wag-
nem; or did the Wagners, by any subsequent„ conduct
or act of their own, adopt an
for defect of authority? It will be
not in the first instance have been binding upon them
to dwell upon the first point, b agreement which might

and all of them assuming that there svasacontrzert
subsisting between the manager and the singer.
" Now," as the Vice-Chancellor shrewdly enough
marked, " there had been no contract signed without
this clause, therefore this is the contract concerning
which the parties were in correspondence." What the
Wagners say is, that when the paper was sent back to
them they objected to the clause, and only received the
document upon Dr. Bacher'a assurance thatewhen they
arrived in London the little matter should be set right.
Now, we cannot forget that they must have been per-
fectly aware that they would not be permitted to pass
slipshod over this clause of the contract. Mr. Lumley
Insisted upon it with so mach earnestness that he refused
to effia his signature to the agreement until the clause
which he had originally introduced, but which had been
struck out by the Wagnere, had been replaced. Was it
probable be would suffer himself to be duped out of so
capital a proviso by Dr. Bather's little diplomacy,
when ho had in the first instance refused to
complete the contract without it? Is it possible
that M. and Madlle. Wagner could even for
a • moment have entertained so preposterous an
idea? Such, however, is the only reason assigned
by the Wrigners against the validity of the' contract—
namely, a vague hope on their own part that, when they
arrived in London, Mr. Lumley would be induced to give
up the advantages for which he had negotiated with Co
much earnestness.

As many of oar. readers as have patients) to wade
through the evidence will find that another point was
raised in favour of the Wagner:). it was on their side
alleged that money was not paid by Mr. Lumley on a
particular day-when it should have been paid. It is re-
plied, in the first place, that .11r. Becher had money of
Mr.-Lumley's in his.hands, and that, even bad it been
otherwise, all deficiencies in this respect were excused by
the conduct of the Wagners on and after the sth of
March, and hr a sAseqsent tender of the money on the
15th of April. It was ou the sth of MarCh that the
Wageers, who had to bmind themselves to Mr. Lumley,
were found at litmhurgh quietly entering into a
{Teal contrzle:, with Mr. tiyei from which they hoped
to derive larger pecuniary advantages. More than
this, on the 140 of March, Dr. titaer wrote to
Madlie.Wagner, asking wth r* he should pay the money
he had re..dy for her. and receivcci from her father the
fellowing yoe scud the hill to Berlin. he

sou:e time longer with our (11110031..7 flowerer this
may Le, it 1. quite clear that on Mr. Lumley's part
there was no disinciirs 4tion or inabili!y to pay the money
when riretld. The paltry subterfu,ze wa4 furbished
up at the hat momeet to ~erve the turn of those who
would not herp and could scarcely evade the terms of
an agreement into which they had entered of their
own free wilt. 'Fho simple truth of this long trial is
that Madlle. Joanna Wogner and her excellent parent
:40ezht ":at ihe second bargmn was besti,r than the
tv-,eref'rto et!dc...nrured to repudiate their

the balm) time, it is el;:ar enough that, the fault lies,
not with the 'young girl, but with the sordid circle
around her, who were endeavouring to huckster her

to any consideration but. those of .E S. d.—Ttmes.

notwithstandiug that deliberation, in .:Iliss Ceumpe's
case, has been for the advantage of those who may
avail themselves of the extensive researches in foreign
archives, by which she has been .enabled to enrich her
romantic narrative of the latter adventures of Prince
Charles Stuart. "'Tae Dcath Flag" takes up the
history of the ill-fated prince at the point where
former narrators leave hitr, and makes us acquainted
with facts, in connexion wi!ho the wild heroes who
inhabited the southern coasts of Ireland in the middle
of the last century ' %%WI which we were totally un-
acquainted. Added to the p4infully interrntirg e,, ~t;

vincial character, ore among the most exciting or
amusing traits of her vivid genius. None but one
most intimate with the peculiarities of the Hiberno-
Milesian inhabitants of the far south could give such
graphic delineations, as in her portraitures of the
O'Sullivan Beare," and his retainer " Dan Con-
nell," and none but an acute and refined genius have
drawn the pathetic scenes of domestic vicissitude
which sustain the anxiety, whilst inducing theisvm-
pathy, of the reader for the amiable and lovely heroine
of her story, the youthful " Edith." In short,
" The Death Flag" is a felicitous addition to our bis-
toric novel library: The dramatic structure is per-
fect, as the public will .soon have an opportunity of
judging; for we believe " The Death Flag" is about
to be dramatised and performed on the st:ge. The
scen,:ry and incidents change with a rapidity that
prevents weariness, and with a harmony that pre•
serves in the mind the unity of the subject. The
local descriptions are chastely beautiful and trae.
Grand in their simplicity, the charms of rocks, hill',

accomplished author, are in the strictest accuracy of

or caricature which spoils half the drarnatig persona
of the bistoriCo-romantic schobl,. and from which,
according to the opinions of some, the work: of the
