SUPPLEMENT
TO THE LONDON GAZETTE OF FRIDAY.

LORD CHAMBERLAIN'S-OFFICE, JULY 2.
Orders for the Court's going into mourning on Sunda/
next, the 4th instant, for the late Count Mensdorff

` Bowman or ASHBURTON.—The Reformers of this
borough will again nobly do their duty. A short time sines
Colonel Thomas Matheson gave an intimation dissolution of Parliament he would resign. The Reformers lost no time; and George Moffatt, the worthy Member for
' Dartmouth, was invited to become a representative for the

on Tuesday next. The Reformers of Ashburton may well be
proud in their having such a staunch Reformer as Mr. Mof-
fatt, and, as has been the case in former elections, with such
names as Sir James Matheson, &c., it will still raise higher
the constituency of the borough of Ashburton as Reformer 3
and well-wishers to the world.
OPENING OF ST. ANDREW'S ItALLWAT.....-On
Tuesday the directors, with deputations of friends from
Cupar, Kirkaldy, Dunfermline, and Edinburgh, formally
opened the line. On Wednesday the shareholders and in-
habitants of St. Andrew's had the pleasure of a cheap trip
to Dunfermline; and on Thursday the line was accessible to
the public as part and parcel of the Edinburgh, Perth, and
Dundee Railway.—Fifeshire Journal.
THE COLLISION IN THE RIVER.—The
collision
which took place on Wednesday, between the Ravenshourne
Antwerp steamer, and the Ramsgate boat, Duchess of Kenta
continues to excite much anxiety. A general opinion is
prevailing :that there are several lives lost, and that there
are bodies still remaining in the cabini of the ill-fated vessel.
It is believed, from the depth of the water and the age of the
vessel, coupled with the fact that from the continued rising
of pieces of the ship to the surface, she never will be got up
whole. Indeed we are informed that any attempt to do so
has been already abandoned by the owners, the Commercial!
Steam Navigation Company. Every effort, however, wit
be made to preserve her engines and machinery. The in-
quiries of the passengers, both by letter and personally, re-
specting their property have been incessant. The two
children, about whose safety great fears were for some time
entertained were got safe on shore, one at Northtleet, and the
other at Gravesend. They were the sons of Mr. and Mrs.
Davey, the steward and stewardess. The steward of the
fore cabin states confidently that no one remained in that
part of the ship. 'When the collision took place all rushed
to the hatch, and he was the last person who left the fore
cabin.

ANTWERP, JULY 2.—The Ravensbourne steamer,
w a
quarter-dot
left Lon
t don yesterday afternoon, arrived this morning
hours and a quarter,
at uarter-pas four o'clock, after a fine run of sixteen
notwithstanding her long detention in
the Thames, occasioned by the collision with the Ramegate
steamer.

THE MAILS.---SOUTHAMPTON, FRIDAY, JULY -

royal mail steam. ship Magdalena, Captain W. Vincent,

THE MAGAZINES.
BL ICKWOOD.
Phistratus Caxton reeurnee in Jule- what lee had
omitt, d in June— the thread of that exquhite narra-
tive, which in very many re,zpects promises to he
Sir Bulvver Le ttoe's in-esfeqiiece. The style in
which it is written reveals in its author the ripeness
of intellectual meturity ueied with all the bloom and
the freshness of a youth perennial in its character.
The abounding ease is in itself matchless, and with
this ease is combined a "finish" more delightful than
that of the most studied elaboration. If we wished to
make good the justice of our asertion by a single re-
ference, we should point at once unhesitatingly
to that, portion of the present (the twenty-
second) instalment which unravels the mysterious
entanglement of the incidents of the fiction—reveal-
ing through the pathetic history of Nora Avenel,
the secret ties binding together the fortunes of Harley
L'Et
of minor
and Audley Egerton, fortunes in which a
variety
minor interests are involved, such as those
at sr t of the villanous Baron Levu, and, ultimately,
(after years have eleped) of the Hazeldeans and the
licelbc'ecas. It proves, at length, that Leonard, in-
stead of being the son of Harley L'Estrange, was the
offspring of Audley Egerton by Nora, to whom the
Young statesman had been married under very pain-
ful, as well as impassioned, cireutnstanci.s, A few
additional chapters must now, unfortunately,
bring to a conclusion that story which has for
nearly two years been the chief among the charms of
Blackwood. Before its termination we trust that the
Tillany of Levy, as well as that of Randal, will be
unmasked while Leonard is discovered by poor
Audley before that sudden death which seems to be
his inevitable destiny, while Helen is restored to the
arms of her boy-love, while Violante is tranformed
into the spouse of Harley, Lord L'Estrange. Other
changes will have to be effected. Poor Frank
azeldean must, we trust, be extricated betimes from
his me,salliance with Beatrice de Negra Count
Peschiera must be foiled in his infamous machina-
tions—Doctor Riccabocca must be restored to his
Italian Marquisate—Dick Avenel must be ruined—
Leonard Fairfield must be proved to be the author
of the work so very frequently mentioned
in the course of "My Novel "—Squire Hazledean
must be relieved from his bewilderment and anguish
of mind—,and a multiplicity of minor sorrows be al-
leviated by the master-hand of the most accomplished
Man of letters of the age, before the fictitious history
dn.
is closed by the sound of the wedding bells at Hazel-
Besides the continuation of Sir Bulwer
Lytton's novel, the present number of Maga contains
the first portion of a true story called "Katie
Stewart." It gives promise of a merit which we are
sanguine of seeing realised on its development. Ano-
ther contribution, is descriptive of Nepaul, and another
of the Chinese. The latter are designated (as the
title of the paper) " The Celestials at Home and
Abroad." There is likewise a very readable article
about " Alphonso Karr," romantic as well as bio-
graphical. A slight but animated sketch of " Ame-
rican Politics" is preceded by an argument referring
to " Our National Defences ;" while the whole num-
ber is closed by an article upon "The General Elec-
tion," from the tone of which it would appear that
Blackwood looks forward with real anxiety, though,
jof course, with affected confidence, to the probable ma-
ority of the newly-elected Parliament.

In this number there is a very long account of " The
Life of Chalmers," taken from his memoirs by his
son-ia-law, the Rev. Mr. Hanna. Sketches ofßome
Under the Pope and the Republic, by an Eye-Wit-
ness," presents us with a variety of details concerning
that eventful period. In conclusion, it is remarked—

the g just awoke from deep sleep to a stirring of
limbs, a raising of the eyelids, a preparation for
movement, rather than the energy of action itself.
Such awaking was still dreamy and pleasant, as in
the recal to day and its labours, which music produces,
no violent concussion bad disturbed the sleeper, but
brightest early light dawned on men's hearts, he-
ralded by sweet sounds. The curtain rose slowly,
like morning mists from the valleys seen by him who
has reposed on mountains, and the drama began as
We introduce our tragedies, with but little to denote
the later events which are to stir human passions to
their depths. But an ominous cloud, which bad
gathered amongst these seven hills, soon spread over
Europe." « Hypatia," a new foe with an old face, is
continued. It is a very original story, well carried
out. " Yama and the Disciple" is a good composition.

DUBLIN UNIVERSITY.
The first article is on the " Identity of Junius," in
which the writer enieavours to prove that Chatham
Was the mysterious celebrity. " Sir Jasper Carrew '
is
an arousing story. " Beyond the Veil "is a pleasing
poem ; the subject i 3 taken from Hans Christian An-
dersen's tales. The first number of " Heroes, Ancient
and Modern" contains accounts of Epaminondas, of
Thebes, and Gustavus Adolphus, of Sweden. The
" t Heirs
vv of
enßandolph Abbey" is concluded this month,
past luthe ty-second chapter. In the " Corkonians,
niscenced an Present," we find very interesting remi-
s °f the many distinguished characters of
that place.

COLBURN'S UNITED
,SERVICE.
The first article is certainly a moat appropriate one
at the present time. It is entitled, " What we Know
about Australia," and gives a description of the
country, the European inhabitants, the Aborigines,
the first discovery of gold, and the present condition
of the goldseekers and finders. " The Causes of the
Kafir Wars" will prove interesting to all who desire
information on that important subject. A treatise
on small arms and an account of Mr. Ferguson's
system of fortification are calculated to attract the
scientific, while " Traits of Sir Harry Smith" and
" Adventures of a Soldier in Mexico" are suited to
the general reader.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.
For some time past the Fret.ch amusements of this
house bave been supported by M. Lafont and M. Lovas-
sor. The novelties produced have been few or none,
but the admirable comedy of Lafont, and the inimitable
monologues, spoke❑ and sung, which Levassor has in-
troduced between the pieces, have rendered this last por-
tion of the French season by no means the least attrac-
tive. M. Lafont will take his benefit on Wednesday,
when the bill will be varied by novelty.

THE ELECTIONS.—POSTOFFICE NOTICE.--The
following order was issued last night from the General Post-
office by the Postmaster-General to all the provincial post-
masters :--" The Parliament being dissolved, I have to re-
Gmind Yon that it is highly important that her Majesty's
overnment should be furnished with the best and earliest
information from this department on the subject of the elec-
tions. The Postmaster-General desires, therefore, that in
the event of a poll for the election of Members for the new
Parliament being held at any place within your delivery, or
within the delivery of any of your sub-offices, you will in-
form me without delay for what day the poll may be fixed,
distinctly stating the names of the candidates; and you will
afterwards send me by first post the state of the poll on each
day up to the moment of your dispatch of your London
bag, sparing no pains to ascertain the same so far as you
may be able to accomplish it without expense, the names of
the candidates and the numbers polled being clearly and
legibly given. When the poll is finally closed you will also,
of course, send me the names of the Members returned, by
