does this consist with the condition so often
attached to succouring a poor family out of doors ?
The real meaning is plain enough. As little
as possible is to be done, and the poor
are not to be encouraged to be troublesome. But
we cannot so get rid of our social duties and obli•
gations, and so long as deaths from starvation recur
in London, a heavy responsibility rests upon its
citizens. A little temporary relief would have
saved this child's life. Might not the neighbours
have applied for it had they thought there was
a chance of success ? The fact is that our whole
system of levying ratz,s must be altered, if we
wish to avoid this reproach ; for so long as each
parish is compelled to bear its own burden, so long
we shall reap the fruits of that unreasonable in•
equality in death and distress among our labour-
ing classes.

THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE,
PLYMOUTH, August 22.

The screw steamer Indiana put in here this
morning to land passengers and to coal. She left
Calcutta May 19, Madras June 2, Cape of Good
Hope July 13, and crossed the Equator July 28.
The Indiana has 100 passengers, and 30 military
invalids and time-expired men from India, with
10 passengers and a mail from the Cape. She
had also a full general cargo, principally saltpetre,
seeds, cottor, silk, and sugar.
Her news from the Cape is three weeks later
than that brought by the last mail stermer
arrived. Trade at the Cipe was dull. The
alarm raised on the frontier of an intention on the
part of the Krelis to cross the Basheo was proved
to have been groundless. Efforts were being made
to discover the author of the rumour.
Traders and travellers passing through the Canda
country represented the country along the whole
coast line to be in a disturbed state.

PUBLIC HONOURS.

The tribes are said to be more insolent than
usual, and several councils had been held amongst
the chiefs. A war amongst the natives in that
locality was expected.

Parliament was to be prorogued the day the
Indiana sailed. Its removal to Graham's Town
was considered unnecessary, and it was doubted
that the experiment would be repeated. The pro-
posal of the Diamond Company to este.blish mail

agreed to without a division, but only on its con-,
taining a condition to call at Table or Simon's
Bay also.
The proposal of the Union Company to extend
mail communication to the Mauritius was rejected.

The Federal frigate Niagara is in the Tagus. It

intentions of the Fedcrals have transpired.

The reclamation of the Spanish Government
respecting the capture of the ship Virgen del Re-
fugio is not likely to cause any serious difficulty
(since announced by telegraph to have been set-
tled). It appears that this vessel was a slaver, and
the proofs of her delinquencies were overwhelming,
and she NTAS c iptured 'within the Portu,;u?se waters,

VOLUNTEERS.

THE GRAND VOLUNTEER REVIEW AND
SHAM FIGHT AT LIVERPOOL.

LIVERPOOL, Saturday.

Liverpool has to-day presented an unusual scene
of animation and gaiety consequent on a splendid
volunteer review and sham fight on the race course
at Aintree ; his worship the mayor having invited
all the volunteer corps in Liverpool to take part in
the interesting proceedings. From the moment his
worship announced his liberal intention, the idea
was taken up by all classes of the inhabitants, and
to-day the town is marked by a holiday almost
general, the offices, shops, and other general places
of business having been closed at one o'clock this
afternoon. The various corps, which consisted of
the Ist Administrativeßrigade of Lancashire Artil-
lery Volunteers, under the command of Lieut.-Col.
Sir William Richmond Brown, Bart. ; the 4th Bri-
gade of Lancashire Artillery Volunteers, Major
Melly; Bth Brigade of Lancashire Artillery Volun-
teers, Lieut.-Col. Clay; 11th Lancashire Volunteers,
2d Administrative Brigade ditto, Ist Battalion of
Lancashire Engineer Volunteers, 2d ditto, and Ist,
13th, E4th, sth, 42d. 15th, 51st, 64th, and 80th
Battalions of Lancashire Rifle Volunteers, began
moving through the town, headed by their bands,
to the Exchange station of the Lancashire and York-
shire Railway, from whence they were all conveyed
to the Aintree Racecourse, where the review and
sham fight were to take place, at the sole expense
of his worship the mayor. About four o'clock all
the men had assembled on the ground, to the num-
ber of between 4000 and 4500, and were.distributed
into three brigades, the first being under the cona•
mend of Lieut.-Col. Sir W. R. Brown, Bart.; the
the second brigade under the command of Lieut..
Col. M'lver ; and the third brigade under the com-
mand of Lieut.-Col. Tinley.
The day being delightfully find the attendance
was very numerous, Liverpool pouring out its
thousands of all classes. The approaches to the
railway station were most inconveniently crowded,
whilst every style of vehicle appeared
_to
have been brought into requisition to convey the
multitude who chose to travel by the ordinary high-
way. About four o'clock the course at Aintree
presented a most brilliant appearance. The Grand
Stand was densely crowded with a most fashionable
attendance of ladies and gentlemen, whilst the mis•
cellaneous company in different parts of the course
could be counted by thousands.
Sir Charles Wetherell and Col. M‘Murdo, the
reviewing officers, attended by their staff, on com-
ing on to the ground were met by the usual military
salute. The review then commenced, followed by
the sham fight, which was of an exceedingly inte-
resting character. At the close of the proceedings
the various corps marched off the course to Liver-
pool, accompanied by their bands.—Observer,

THE EMPIRE OP MEXICO.

(From the Tinges' Correspowlent.)
MEXICO, July 10.
On the 28th ult. General Bazaine gave a magnifi-
cent ball in honour of the Emperor and Empress;
1,200 people, the elite of Mexico, comprising every

political name, were present. It htis been said
" that more is sometimes gained by a ball than a
battle," and such was certainly the case on the
present occasion ; the unostentatious and affable
manner in which their Majesties walked about the
room, entering into conversation with every one,
formed such a marvellous contrast to anything that
had ever been witnessed in the days of a free re-
public, when dusty-coloured Presidents never moved
without being surrounded by a body guard of still
more dusty-coloured aide-de-camps, that on the
following morning the whole city of Mexico re-
sounded with their praises. " The Emperor spoke
to me," said onc. "so he did with me," said
another, which was heard repeated at the corner of
almost every street, showed the value attached to
every word which issued from the Imperial lips;
and I will venture to assert that of the fifties or
hundreds who had the honour of being noticed by
the Emperor or Empress on that eventful evening
there is not one, be he reactionist or be he republi-
can, who has not treasured up in his memory and

who cannot repeat with the most perfect accuracy
every word that was addressed to him. Whether
all this is consistent with the opinion so industri.
ously circulated,
_both here and elsewhere, that
Mexicans were essentially republicans and abhorred
a monarchy, may well be doubted; all I can say is
that never in the same short apace of time have I

whole of the day to the business 'of the country. All
the Ministerial departmen..e are confided to sub-
secretaries. His Mejes.,-
y having very wisely deter-
mined to reserve te., himself the direct supervision
until he can fillet fit persons to fill the various posts,
All the ae,;pointments he has yet made seem to meet
with unqualified approbation, and it is fair to pre-
Kerne that, with a little time and patience, he will
succeed in raising up a moderate party that will
more than counterbalance the two extremes which
by turns have ruled and ruined the country.
The commission to report upon the finances of the
country is to meet on the let of next month ; it is
to be composed of persons inhabitants of the city of
Mexico (foreigners s well as Mexicans, to be named
by the Ernperee), and of delegates from the depart-
ments representing the different classes of the popu-
lation. The commission is to be sub divided into
sections or sub-commissions, to report on the diffe-
rent matters submitted to their consideration. The
duties on imports and exports, the value of public
lands, and the best mode of rendering them profit-
able to the State, colonisation, the debts and indem-
nities due to citizens of foreign countries, railroads,
public works, the currency, taxation, weights and
measures, and, in fact, everything having the
slightest reference to the finances of the country,
are all to form subjects of discussion. I heEmperor,
of course, reserves to himself the right of adopting
or modifying the reports made by the various sec-
tions. The field is a wide one, and it may fairly
be doubted whether there are men competent to
arrive at just conclusions upon subjects se various
and important; still, much valuable information
must necessarily be elicited, which will serve to
form the groundwork for future legislation.
Hitherto there has been no regular system of tax-
ation in this country, and this is scarcely to be
wondered at, changes of Government having fol-
lowed one another in such rapid succession that any
President who might have been willing or able to
form one would certainly not have had time to carry
it out. The consequence has been that the revenues
of the ports have generally been seized by the
Governors of the States in which those ports were
situated, and the Central Government has been
obliged to live as best it could by forced loans and
cmtrihtvions levied upon the inhabitants of those
cities which for the time being acknowledged its
sway. Santa Anna (I think it was in the year
1844) proposed a system of taxation which, far from
being eecessive, would still have produced about
30,000,000 dole. annually. Such a revenue would be
more than sufficient to meet all the requirements of
the present Government, and I certainly see no rea-
son why, if such a sum could have been raised then,
it should not be raised now. An honest collection
at the ports will at once double, if not treble, the
receipts; from this source of revenue alone the Ims
perial Government may rely upon 16,000,000 dole.
to 18,000,000 dole. annually, leaving only 12,000,000
dots, or 14,000,000 dole., as the case may be, to be
collected by other means. As a remarkable instance
of what an honest collection will effect I may men-
tion that the duties levied in the Customelicuie cf
this city alone have during the last six months rea-
lieed the enormous sum of 5,000,000 dole.; in ordi-
nary times they produced at the very outside
4,000,000 dole. annually. Of course, the same sys-
tem of robbery and plunder has been going on at
Guadalajara, Guanaxuato, San Luis, and all other
cities of the empire, and it can no longer be a mat-
ter for surprise that each succeeding President,
however short his time of office might have been,
always retired with a princely fortune.
Another commission will shortly be named to re-
vise the laws and provide for the proper adminis-
tration of justice. Phis will be a Herculean task, for
of all the countries in the world there is none in
which justice has been so scandalously administered
as in Mexico. The first thing to be considered now
upon the institution of a suit is, not whether you
have justice on your side, but whether you can
afford to outbid Your opponent. Venality among
the judges has been universal, and I could give you
instances, and will do so upon some future occasion,
which will make the hair of English lawyers stand
on end. The remedy is clear enough,--pay the
judges well, do away with written pleadings (at
present there is nothing else), examine the witnesses
viva Voce, open all courts to the public, have all the
cases accurately reported, and punish most severely
any judge who, from interested or other motives, is
caught tripping.
The military commission will commence its la-
bours in the course of a few days, and a plan of
campaign for the interior has been decided upon;
in fact, everything is going on as well as the moat
sanguine monarchist could desire, and it would
really seem as if a great end glorious future were
about to dawn upon this hitherto unfortunate
country.
From the interior there is nothing of importance.
The most perfect tranquillity:reigns in all towns
occupied by the French. The arrival of their
Imperial Majesties has been hailed in San Luis
Guanaxuato, and other towns with the utmost dee
monstration of joy. Gonzales Ortega is said to be
closely pursued by the French, who are not very
likely to catch him; and Uraga is still disposed tc
join the intervention as soon as he can do so with
perfect safety to himself.

DEATH OF LORD RODNEY.—On Friday Lord
Rodney expired at his seat at. Berrington, near Leominster.
Lord Rodney, vtho was in his 46th year, was the great-
grandson of the famous Rodney. He leaves three children,

THE POPULAR STREET "MOT" IN PARIS-" 48
to vu Lambert?"—Speaking of this sudden and all
but universal eccentricity of the streets of the French
capital, the Spectator of Saturday remarks that during the
Et2te Napoleon the Parisians appeared to have invented a
new amusement, which consisted in asking their friends,
and the passengers, and everybody at all conspicuous, " As-
tu vu Lambert ?" The word was repeated everywhere,
the Emperor himself being saluted with " Vive Lambert,
viva Madame Lambert, vive le petit Lambert I" the popu-
lace applying the name with a pertinacity which proved
that they saw a joke somewhere. The police were begin
ning to think of Cayenne or the necessity for calling out
the military, when it was discovered that a farmer's wife
losing h r husband, had been going about asking for
"Lambert." The Parisians; struck with the idea of a
woman imagining that everybody must know her particular
lord, took up the cry, and as the Emperor is the only man
known to everybody applied the name to him with appre•
ciative unanimity. The minds of the police gradually
calmed down, and in consideration of the ftes nobody was
so much as arrested,

Tales and Traits of Sporting Life. By Henry
Corbet. One Vol. Pp. 202. Rogerson and
Tuxlord, 246, Strand.

Since Charles Apperley, the famous Nimrod,
and Charles Bindley, the hilarious Harry Hieover,
we have had no such sporting writer as Henry
Corbet, the writer of this most exhilarating book of
Turf Sketches. " Tales and Traits of Sporting Life"
as he calls them, these sketches have been oolleeted
together from the pages of Bell's Life in .London,
cf the sporting magazines generally, and of
Dickens's All the Year Bound in particular. Let
u 3 premise, at once, while drawing attention thus
pointedly to what we have found to be so realty
delightful a volume of Sporting Slie:ches, that the
writer of it—Mr Corbet—is to U 3 a mere name
upon a title-page. And, what is yet more to the
point, let 'us add, to this acknowledgment of ours,
that, until now, we were wholely unacquainted
with him, with his mere name, that is, as a sport
ing writer, although among these " Tales and
Traits" of his, we have, to our exceeding satisfac-
tion, recognised one or two papers read by us when
they were first published (anonymously) in one
or other of the periodicals already mentioned—
in Bell's Life, if we remember rightly, or it may
have Lbeen in All the Year Round. We have
now recognised, we say, one or two papers so read
by us, without any knowledge then on our part as
to their authorship—papers so delightful in their
way, so entirely to our own liking, at least, that we
possess to this day clippings from them, clippings
carefully preserved among our collection of News-
paper paragraphs. To be plain, we find that we
have thus, for example, already set apart, now, two
or three years ago, for pleasant reference to after-
wards, wtienever we might so list to refer them—
fra-escnentary extracts from Henry Corbet's wonder-
fully graphic description of the late Fulwar Craven,
one dubbed by the writer of it " A Bit of a Cha-
racter !" A description that we had no notion (until
now) was Henry Corbet's when it chanced to be
first read by us—was it not in Bells Life in Lon-
don? Again we say of this sketch in particular
—now, upon our reperusal of it—a wonderfully
graphic description ! As graphic even as E. Cor-
bet's marvellous little coloured vignette portraiture
of "Fulwar Craven" himself—out upon the Downs
(with Fly-by-night, we may suppose, or Long-
waist, visible in the distance)—talking with a red-
cloaked gipsy-woman. Nay, to our " mind's eye"
—having often seen the man himself, and that, too,
in the days of his glory,when he was, indeed, in every
sense of the phrase, " A Bit of a Character "—H.
Corbet's pen-and-ink sketch of Fa' war Craven is
more vividly realistic as a life-like sketch than E.
Corbet's coloured vignette sketch of him, but just
now mentioned. Never were Lord Byron's words,
from the famous slang stanza in "Don Juan," so
aptly quoted as they are here by our author, as
directly applying to Fulwar Craven—
" So prime, so flash, so nutty, and so knowing I"

Yonder is the very man before us, with, as Mr
Corbet expresses it, that " slang defiant yet some-
how thoroughly sportsman's air about him!"
"Character"—as cur Younger Nimrod has it—even
as it were, "in the careless cock of his
(Fulwar Craven's) battered white hat—in
the wisp-tie of his crimson bandana, in the
half-open striped waistcaat, and the loose cut of
his brass-buttoned brown coat, with another
fogle flying from the pocket of it I' Almost
equally decisive, it is added, were his drab breeches
and gaiters—" emphasised," as the latter were,
"by being carefully pulled down at the back to
show some inches of pink silk stocking I"
And so, too —in this wonderfully lifeslike
sketch—in regard to the mention made of the big
brooch in the shirt, the purple jacket in the hand
(together with the orange cap, Fulwar Craven's
jockey-colours on the race-course), the roving
glance—" a deal of devil in the eye, a life's story in
his very walk and hearing"—et voila ! the owner
of D.ception ! the swell ex-Captain Craven ! the
Game Evergreen! as ready, says Mr Corbet—in this
inimitable portraiture of his, of Fulwar Craven when
in his prima—" as ready still as any of you for a
bout, a lark, or a drink 1" Here, already—even while
quoting thus fragmentarily from these " Tales and
Traits of Sporting Life"—we rest assured that we
have given our readers a flavourous taste of our au-
thor'a quality ! And equally satisfied are we, that
even brief extracts like the foregoing will be recog-
nized by the more discerning, as affording the amplest
justification of the commendatory words already pros
uoanced by us upon the radiant, animated, capital
style in which Henry Corbel handles the pen as a
Sporting Writer. If he handles the ribbons only but
one half as well, he must be a eplendid Whip I How-
ever that may be, it appears to us perfectly manifest
—estimating our author's capabilities from the mere
manner of the man—that he is, to the backbone, a
thorough sportsman ! One ready alike—according to
the mere chance of the opportunity—to throw a fly,
to wing a partridge, or to clear a five-barred gate
—equally at home, as ho must surely be, in the
saddle, among the stubble, or by the weedy
margin of the trout-stream. Those who turn to
his pages for amusement, will find ample store of
that same, closely compacted into this exhilarating
little half-crown volume, in which he sketches off,
besides Fulwar Craven, divers other dead and gone
glories of the turf, men as well known in their time
as "John Gully," Pugilist and Member of Parlia-
ment—as " Old John Day," of his kind A 1 among
jockeys and trainers or as that other wearer
of the peaked skull cap and the silk jacket, " The
Last of the Chifneys I" Commend us, too—for
capital bits of fun—to our author's record, here, of
"The Love Bird" and " The Hard-up,"of "A Second
Fox" and " The Belles of Swindon," Such capital
Tales and Traits they are— these Sketches of Sport-
ing Life by Henry Corbet—that all sporting readers
who know them not already, will have reason to
thank us, after a perusal of them, for having tt,u3
heartily commended these same Sketches to their
consideration.

BROTHER OF GENERAL LEE.—Rumour has it
that Captain Lee, a brother of the great Confederate gene •
ral of that name, is presently enjoying the fishing at Glen.
clg, in the West Highlands. He will find the prosecution
of the piscatorial art in a quiet Higland glen far more plea-
sant work than that in which his illustrious brother is
engaged at Petersburg.—E:gin Courant.

A RIGMAROLE APOLOGUE I—related (apparently
by the Ghost of Mr Roundabout) in the Saturday
Review,—A lawyer with a taste for casuistiL al speculations
was one day walking over a common. He heard a noise
by the roadside, which appeared en examination to proceed
from a battle between a rabbit and a weasel. The wease
had the rabbit by the throat, and it was drumming furiously
on the weasel's back with its forepaws. The lawyer began to
doubt whether he should interfere or not. By interfering he
would save the rabbit's life; but he would also deprive the
weasel of his dinner, which he was earning in the natural
way of his business. By not interfering, he would neglect
to save the life of the rabbit, which, as compared with de-
priving the weasel of his dinner, would produce a balance
of pain. It appeared to the lawyer? who was a practical
man as well as a casuist, that under these circumstance
the rabbit ought to have the benefit of the doubt; and in-
stead of following the advice of one of his own profession
who, when a notorious rogue was defended by an ingenious
quibble, proposed to "hang the man and save the point,"
he saved the rabbit's life from his antagonist, and els o
saved the point whether he had done right for further con-
sideration. Upon reflection, he arrived at the satisfactory
conclusion that he had done right, on the ground that the
individual act produced more pleasure than pain, and that
it did not, and from the nature of the case could not, tend
to establish an injurious precedent. If, in order to save
the life of the individual rabbit, it had been necessary to
lay down the general principle that all rabbits ought to have
their lives protected against all weasels, he would have been
wrong ; for to affirm such a principle would hays been to
interfere with the established order of nature whereby it is
ordained that rabbits should be the prey of weasels. Bu t
the particular act had no such meaning. The lawyer had
not the remotest intention of becoming a knight-errant on
the part of rabbits in general against weasels, nor did he
even intend to set up a company for that purpose* His
connexion wi h the subjec: )egan and ended with that !an
titular interference, the plain result of which was life to
the rabbit, and a countermand of dinner to the weasel ,
and it was hundreds, perhaps thousands to one that he
lived.
