for about 50 years unexpired.
The leaseho d coal and iron-stone royalties are held on
Very ,ioderai e terms.
There are upwards of 2,000 houses and cottages on the free-
hold and leasehold estates.
The rentals from land, farms, and houses, amount to about
£14,000 -year.
The works afford employment to more than 15,000 persons,
repre enting a population of :,0,000 people.
Schools f r the al:ommo iation of 2,200 children, and a Me-
chanics' In'titute have been erected upon the estates.
There ~re 23 b as -furnaces, of which 16 are in operation at
the present time—three being cold blast.
The Present annual producl of the various corieries is
850,000 tons of coal ; and this quantity can, with a compara-
tively ama 1 outlay, be increased to mil ion tons annually.
The produce of iron-atone is 280,000 tons annually, which can
be increased to 4;0,000 tons.
The iron-making coals on these properties are of a superior
quality, free front sulphur, and eminently adapted for the
manufacture of the best class of iron or steel.
The present annual yield from the furnaces is about 130,0e0
tons of pig iron, including 12,000 tons of P ntypool cold blast,
but the arrangements are adapted for the production of
180.0)0 tons. About 90,e00 tons of r ils and finished iron are
sold annually, which can be increased to 120,000 tons with the
present applianc a.
All the properties are very favourably placed in regard to
siluatien of works and facilities of iransport. cal and
iron-stone mines, which arc now drained and proved, will
supp'y the present consumption, without any material in-
crease of dead charges or outlay of capital, for upwards of 50
ye ire ; and with a small outlay will yield a further supply of
e,00,C00 to sof coal per annum, for household and team pur-
poses, for a like period.
The hematite iron ore and coal properties held in the
Forest of Dean will shortly be opened, and placed in
direct communication by railway with the various iron.

The Forest of Dean ore contains from 3% to 42 per cent.
of iron, and is well known for its superior quality over other
bum tite ores for the manufacture of the best iron and
steel. It is estimated that, when Jul y opened, the mines now
held by the Company will produce 100,000 tons annually for
50 years.
The very extensive and valuable mines of spathose iron
ore, in Somersetshire, belon ing exclusively to the , ompany,
are the only mines of their kind now being werked in kirt at
Britain, excep inv the small veins found in the Durham lead
mines When these mines are fully developed the works of
the Company will possess a vantages greater than any other
works in 'he supply of this most valuable materia for the
manufacture of the best quality of ir,,n and steel. And the
cost of producing spiegeleisn (pig iron with this ore will
not exceed half the present cost of spiegeleisn deliv red
in England from Germany, whi h country furnishes near y
the whole of the supply required for the present consump-
tion.

pain or extraction of stumps, and to answer all the purposes
of mastication and articulation. They are fitted without
wires or fastenings, and adapt themselves so perfectly to the
gums, that they are quite immoveable, except at the option
of the wearer. Invalids or residents in the country can ad-
just these teeth to many changes of the mouth without the

Naval and Military Intelligence,

The Field-Marshal Commanding-in-Chief will hold a
Levee at 1 o'clock on Wednesday next, the 6th July.
The Dauntless, 31, screw steamship, 580 horse power,
Capt. J. N. Strange, having undergone most extensive re-
pairs, both of hull and machinery, in the large basin at
Sheerness, previous to her departure for the Humber as
Coastguard ship at that station, was taken to the measured
mile off Maplin Sands yesterday, in command of Captain
W. K. Hall, C. 8,, chief of the Sheerness Steam Re-
serve. for the trial of her engines. Two runs were made
with full boiler power, which gave a result of 9.291
knots per hour; the draught of water on the trial was, for-
ward, 17ft sin ; aft, 18ft Bin. After the runs on the mile
the vessel was taken at full speed a long run round the
Mouse Light and back to the Little Nore, where she is now
anchored. By orders received from the Admiralty the
Dauntless was told off as one of the Coastguard vessels in
readiness to proceed at once to the Baltic, if necessary. She
sill now proceed to Leith with the crew of the Trafalgar,
which had navigated the Edinturgh, late Coastguard
vessel in the Firth of Forth to Sheerness. After this she
will, previously to being taken to her station in the Hum-

MAGAZINE DAY.

DIIBLIN.—There is a new story commenced by
the author of " Wylder's Hand," B,:c. It is
impossible to form much opinion of it at this
early stage, but it promises to cont.in much
of that mystery and excitement which have
hitherto imparted so much attract ion to
the pages of the author's earlier productions.
Maude, the heroine, is a very pleasing young maiden, as
she appears before us in this portion of the tale ; and some
of the other characters, especially Lady Knollys, are well
sketched, " Charles Townshend, Wit and Statesman," is
the subject of an article. It is interesting to peruse, and
contains much to win attention. The description of his
mother is very remarkable; like most celebrated men, he
had a clever mother, but one of a most erratic class ; her
sayings and doings were brilliant and most singular, but
doubtless they accorded well with the tastes and habits of
her day. Speaking of Townshend, the writer remarks that
he belonged to a more dramatic style than exists in our
time. "We look back to the stirring days in which he
lived, and his white plume was seen tossing in the heart of
the struggle." This is the first part only of this distin-
guished man's career, and therefore the more exciting events
will be discoursed upon more fully afterwards. This sketch

does ample justice to Townshend, while it amply pourtrays
one who is well delineated as a strange compound of " wild-
ness, impetuosity, daring, singular intellectual power, and
dazzling brilliancy." " The History of a Hero" is a very
strange production. It is in imitation of Carlyle, and chooses
a " humbler rogue" to descant upon, instead of the more
remarkable individual selected by the great writer. This
sketch is cleverly carried on throughout, and will most likely
entertain some readers. It is a very apt illustration of the
manner in which nowadays many persons delude themselves
into believing cheats and villains to be geniuses end men of
talent, and when they undergo the penalty of their crimes,
call them heroes and martyrs. It is to be trusted that some
of the fatuists will peruse this sketch, and judge for them-
selves how their impressions look in black and white.
" Yaxley and its Neighbourhood," becomes more exciting in
this number, it discloses some important facts to our notice.
In the first place, Mrs. Pilmer behaves so violently to
Lizette that the poor young girl has to leave ; her great aunt
at last acknowledges her, and she goes to live with her—a
most uncongenial home. Luke Bayly is making all sorts of
mischief and preparing other troubles for the future. He
gets a large sum from Mrs. Pilmer on pretence of having
found the will of Mrs. Meiklam. This story is very simply
but very impressively told, and many of the dramatis per-
*once are sketched true to nature. "The Grand Tour,"
this time, takes us from " Dresden to Vienna." The various
accounts are pleasingly told, and some information worthy
of knowledge may be gleaned from these pictures of foreign
lands. " Edmond About and the Landes" is a summary of
the writings of this author, and we are told that his artistic
and critical powers are very great, as they appear in his
"lively and agreeable stories." The passages here pre-
sented of his works are certainly entertaining, and seem to
abound in quaint description and original observation.
There are some verses on the birthday of Shakespere, which
are written in a spirited style, and the writer seems im-
pressed with the importance of his theme. " Notes on the
condition of Ireland" makes some very just remarks as to
the prejudice which exists respecting Ireland, when people
ought to be more tolerant. " Those silly scoffs work a
large amount of mischief, and they are unworthy a great
and intellectual people. As an assumption of superiority,
they are gratuitous ; as an expression of contempt, they are
irritating; and on the score of policy, they are a grave
mistake."
FRASER.—Several topics of interest are discussed
in Fraser this month. The " Land Revenue of
India', occupies a prominent place among them, and
without coinciding in all the writer's views, we
commend this carefully written article to all who
are interested in studying this great question. Mr.
Rossetti contributes a paper on the Royal Academy Exhi-
bition, which can hardly fail to gratify the lover of art,
though it shows just sufficient acerbity to befit an orthodox
artistic criticism. The writer reminds us that last year, in
a similar review, he specially dwelt upon three points. He
observed that the British school was becoming tinctured by
foreign influences, more particularly French ones; he dis-

DISTRIBUTION OF PRIZES ON BOARD THE
SCHOOL-FRIGATE CONWAY.
The Duke of Somerset, First Lord of the Admiralty, de-
livered the prizes yesterday to the successful pupils on
board the school-frigate Conway. Mr C. Mozley, the Mayor
of Liverpool, presided, and amongst those present were—
Lord E. St. Maur, Admiral Sir F. Grey, Captain Hall, Ad-
miral Robinson, Admiral Evans, Colonel Sir John
Jones, Mr Charles Mozley (mayor of Liverpool), Mr.
John Laird, M.P., Mr J. Bramley-Moore, M.P., Mr
J. C. Ewart, M.P., Lieutenant. Colonel Myer, Mr R.
Brocklebank, Mr James Beasley, Mr J. B. Thomson,
Captain Sproule, Mr Joseph Hubback, Mr Horace
Turner, Mr S. G. Rathbone, Mr J. A. Tobin, Captain
Paynter, Captain Fisher, R.N., Mr David M'lver, Mr
Brandon Mozley, Mr Lewin Mezley, Mr John Cropper,
Captain Mown, and Mr J. Clint.
After some remarks from the Mayor—who stated that
five years ago the school commenced with 17 pupils, and
that it now mustered 123—the prizes were awarded. They
consisted of books, nautical instruments; the gold medal of
the Liverpool Mercantile Marine Service Association (for
the greatest general proficiency in all branches of training
and education) ; a naval cadetship, presented by the Duke
of Somerset, won by J. A. Ward; and Admiral Eden's
nomination to a second-class naval cadetship, won by E.
H. H. Mosson. There was also a prize for proficiency in
nautical astronomy, given by Mr Brocklebank, and another
given by the Mayor for practical seamanship. The awards
having been made, the successful boys being heartily
cheered by the ladies and gentlemen present,
The Duke of SOMERSET said—Mr Mayor and ladies and
gentlemen, it has been a great pleasure to me to attend here
to-day and see the good work of this institution. I think
it has become one of the most valuable institutions of the
country; for what we want is a more educated class of sea-
men. In the progress of the world all classes must exert
themselves more and more to adapt themselves to the in-
creased proficiency of the age, and I look with great interest
and pleasure to the progress which has been made here since
this school was established. And now a word or two to the
boys who have got priz s. I would say to them, that to get
prizes in early life is well, but remember it is nothing unless
you persevere afterwards. If you have obtained prizes and
then afterwards lose your time, you have done worse than
nothing. You must use the abilities you possess regularly,
continually, and well, or you will not rise in the profes-
eien which you have ce.eeera ui in the general estimation
of society. To those who have not obtained prizes I would
say, do not be discouraged, for many who in the bginning
of life have not started with advantage have yet won the
race in the end. It is by steady perseverance that you will
get on, and to be discouraged at once is a great mistake.
Many of the first men in the country who failed in early
life, and at the beginning of their career, have by perseve-
rance risen afterwards far above those who seem to win at
the start in life. I trust, then, that all of you will go on
well, and remember this, that, raised as you are by your
knowledge and your position in society, you have also this
great duty to remember, that you are English gentlemen—
and through all your course of life never to do anything
that would discredit an English gentleman. (Applause.)
Keep that steadily in mind, and then, with the proficiency
and talents that you have, you may rise to any position in
the society of England. (Loud applause.)
Mr JAMES BEASLEY then proposed three cheers for the
Duke, which were given with great enthusiasm.
Mr RALPH BROCKLEBANK (in the absence of Mr Hors-
fall, M.P.) moved a vote of thanks to the Duke of Somerset,
observing that the interest which his grace and other Lords
of the Admiralty had shown in the success of the Conway
would stimulate the friends of the school to still greater
exertions.
Mr T. C. EwART, M. P., seconded the motion, which was
unanimously and by acclamation carried.
The Duke of SOMERSET, after acknowledging the vote,
said—l can assure you that in giving a cadetship to this
institution I have not acted without consideration and
thought, and I should not have done it had I not believed
that this institution would be well managed by the com-
mittee, and would be under the care of good and efficient
masters. (Hear, hear, and applause.) I called upon
Captain Powell, of the Britannia, to know how the boys
who came from this school were doing there, and 1 am
happy to say he wrote to this effect :—"Taylor and Finlay,
first class cadets, and Weaver, second class cadet, are all
doing extremely well. They are industrious, gentlemanly,
and remarkably well conducted, and, even allowing that
they were some of the best boys from the Conway, they
reflect the greatest credit upon that establishment." Lan-
guage like this will, I believe, encourage the masters and
those who have the management of this ship, to carry on
the education as effectively as hitherto, and perhaps with
some little addition, for day by day we require a new
knowledge in the navy. We must have more education in
steam in connection with navigation. it cannot be long
overlooked, but must become a part of instruction in the
navy ; andelooking to all these things, I say that I have
given these cadetships not from any seeking of popularity, or
any motive of that kind, but from an earnest desire that
the boys should be brought up in a manner that may adapt
them not only to the mercantile navy but to the royal navy
of England; and, seeing that these two navies are more
and more closely associated, it becomes of the greatest im-
portance that this institution should adapt and fit boys for
any position to which they may afterwards be called.
(Loud cheers.)
Mr JAMES BEASLEY proposed, and Captain SPROULE
seconded, a vote of thanks to the mayor, which was carried
unanimously, and the proceedings closed with three cheers
for the Queen.
The Duke of Somerset and some of the principal visitors
were afterwards entertained on board H.M. Majestic, and
the remainder of the afternoon was spent in the inspection
of the docks, the rams El Monassir and El Tousson, and
the foreshore at Tranmere, which Mr J. Laird, M.P., has
recommended to the Government as an excellent site for a
Navel arsenal and dockyard. In the evening the mayor
gave a banquet at the Town Hall.
The duke spent a considerable time on board El Tousson
minutely examining all parts of the vessel. The boat's crew
from the Majestic turned the fore turret a number of times,
so as to show the speed with which it would revolve. During
this operation the duke and some other gentlemen remained
inside the turret. The duke and other visitors also in-
spected the Agincourt, an armour-plated vessel now build-
ing by Messrs Laird at Birkenhead.

cussed the influence exercised by the general character of

the subjects; and he touched also upon the tender topic of
deficient space and unfair appropriation of it. He takes,
these same points up again, and considers that the influence
of the foreign schools is, if anything, less perceptible; the
general tone of the subjects pleases him less than last sea-
son, while the standard subjects of cemplaint—the deficiency
of space and the unfair distribution of it—are passed over
with very moderate reprehension, considering the fervour
whteh tho writer allows on tho twitter in other parts. "A
Campaigner at Home" is, as usual, very attractive in his
meditations. He discourses this time about idealism
and idealists, and realists, too, may take pleasure
in what he says. The present essay is the
best he has yet given us, and it would be well if the narrow
materialism of the present day could catch a little more of
its prevailing spirit. " The Judges of England" is the title
of a paper which gives a series of brief photographic por-
traits of our judicial functionaries, not, however, painting
them in two flattering colours. "Two Chapters" is the
somewhat singular heading of a little paper that discourses
chiefly on the malevolence of gossip. This formidable
enemy would have less power for mischief if every one fol-
lowed the sensible advice of the old Earl Marischals.
According to this author, over the door of each of their
castles were inscribed these words—

,‘ They haif sayd;
Qhat sayd they ?
Lat them say I"

We fear that modern common sense is far from reaching tha
point. Miss Cobbe contributes an essay on the " Morals o
Literature," a weighty subject, somewhat heavily treated
unquestionably souni in principle. The story of " Gilber
Rugge " proceeds, and promises to be interesting as the
story becomes more advanced. Several poetical contribu-
tions are scattered through the number, of none of which
can we speak very highly.
BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY.—Mr. Dudley Cos-
tello, having completed his history of Mr.
Grimshaw's adventures, has now commenced
the narrative of Mr. Tomkins's summer tour.
As may be conjectured from the title, it is
similar in style and character to its predecessor.
Mrs. Bushby concludes her Danish story of " Mes-
alliance," and it is satisfactory to find that Helena dis-
covers the worthlessness of her noble lover in good time.
Francis Jacox gives us an article on Ben Jonson's morose
and similar unhappy mortals. Messrs. Bass and Babbage will
read the essay with great sympathy and approbation. The
overwrought condition of nerves,which is too often the penalty
of excessive mental application, is a melancholy picture. The
troubled and change.ul life of Queen Hortense, the mother
of Napoleon HI., is briefly chronicled in an interesting
paper. Dr. Michelson shows " Lottery and Hazard" in
their true colours, but they are not so dangerously fascinat-
ing here ae abroad. In this country we reserve our games
of hazard for our financial speculations. "The Steamboat
to St. Cloud" gives an animated picture of a traveller's
adventures. "Street Trades in Paris" is another French
paper well worth reading, and a notice of Mr Kirwan's book
on " Dinners, Wines, and Desserts" will help to enlighten
the uninitiated respecting the secrets of good living. The
editor's story of "John Law" proceeds with undiminished
spirit.
THE NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE.—The opening
article is on Edmond About's work on "Progress,"
and is well written and interesting. " The Dinner
Test of Grief" is a curious paper, commenting on
the effects of anxiety or sorrow upon appetite.
"Irving at Sunnyside" gives us some pleasant
pictures of the author. It is remarked that even in an age
when successful authorship has been so abundantly remu-
nerated, few have been so fortunate as Irving. From his
English copyrights he had derived upwards of twelve thou-
sand pounds, and in his native country more than 150,000
dollars. The stories of " Strathmore" and "The Quest"
are continued, and that of " Won Over" concluded, so that
the lovers of fiction have nothing to complain of. Another
story of a sadder and deeper interest is begun in the first
part of a tale of Cawnpore. " The Parting on the Prairie"
is a sketch of American life, and "The Reign of White
Terror" gives a dismal picture of the work of an infuriated
and unreasoning mob.
CORNHILL.—" Brother Jacob" is the first subject
in this number of this periodical. It is a very clever
story, quite original in its plot, and is a good defi-
nition of the manner in which the most cunning
are often entrapped, The poor idiot, with his
unequal powers, was the means of bringing the
delinquent to detection, and that at the very time when he
was on the point of making his plans perfect, and obtaining
a good connection in the place where ho had set up under
an assumed name, The picture of the " natural," coming
in pitchfork in hand, when the party were seated at tea, is
a very striking sketch, and the shame of the guilty David
may, as the penny-a-liners have it, be more easily
imagined than described. " MY Three Daya' Dictator-
ship" is a continuation of the sketches that have before
animated appeared

RE MARKABLE DISCOVERY.—A party of tin
streamers who are excavating on a place called
Gos Moor, in Cornwall, have discovered a layer of hazel
nuts at a depth of 24 feet from the surface, and lying be-
neath 4 feet of ground that had previously been excavated.
The shells of the nuts, of which there were many thou-
sands, were quite perfect, though black, but they contained
no kernels.
[ADYErrianstENT.] Holloway's Pills. Preventible
Diseases.—Many are the maladies which silently work their
way into the human system through miasma, noxious
vapours, and deteriorated air, which could all be dispos-
sessed by a few doses of these admirable pills. The vitiated
gases enter the lungs as we breathe, and there contaminate
the blood, which will convey the poisonous particles
throughout the body, unless some purifier, such as these
pills, be taken to cleanse it. Holloway's pills expel all
harmful matters from the circulation, and cleanse the solids
likewise from all treacherous impurities. Is not the whole
be.), formed from the blood, and the blood only ? How
necessary, then, does it become to all who value health to

TRADE.

Detzil's History" is not yet completed, but still brings
romantic incidents b2core us. " Charleston under Fire"
is a sketch sure to meet with attention at this

juncture. In conclusion, it states that the Federal

commander is as far from the reduction of Charleston as he
was a year ago. Old Sumter in its ruins is as strong as

ever. " Dreary Court Sky" is a very lugubrious effusion,
suited to those who like melancholy verses. it is pretty in
its expressions, and the style is flowing; An article on
" Some Points of the Eton Report" concludes the number.
It advocates the study of elocution more particularly tha.n
it is at present attended. It is truly said that "to be really
elcquent is in the power of few ; but to say what one has
to say to an assembly fluently, intelligently, and not die-
agreeably, is in the power of almost ev ry man who is not
a fool or a stammerer, provided he has learnt to do it.
English lawyers and actors can always do it, because they
have taken the trouble to acquire the art; very few other
Ezie,-lidunot can."

'TEMPLE BAR.—" The Doctor's -vv;fe" is cons
tinned, and approaches the crisis of its narrative.
'ilhe transition stages of Label's mind are \--Ely aptly
pourtraTed; and it is very well described how the
studies to which the romantic and ill-disciplined
girl resorted had the effect of improving her mind,
as well as serving as means for passing the
time. "It is impossible to live in the constant com-
panionship of great writers without growing wiser
and better in their grave and genial company. Slow find
subtle is the influence that is exercised, unconscious the
improvement that is wrought, but not the less certain." It
seems sad to discover that just at the epoch when her mind
was forming and her judgment accepting commonsense no-
tions, that the temptation again assailed her, but such is
natural. Those who do not act on principle mkt expect
to meet with risks, when they feel safe; to encounter evils,
when they imagine they have secured themselves from their
approach. Painful as this story is, it is nevertheless im-
possible not to acknowledge its fascinating influence. Its
temptations and troubles are so naturally described and
faithfully depicted, that the reader may well fancy that a
page of real life is unfolded before him instead of an ima-
ginary chronicle and a fancied portraiture of events. The
other two tales are also in a state of progression. "Broken
to Harness" contains some melancholy episod es in this instal-
ment. The Churchills do not find that their new life is so
pleasant as they had pictured it, and Barbara's uncomfort-
able position may serve as a warning to those who under-
take more than they can manage. Kate Mellon is foolish
enough to give heed to slander, and seems in danger of be-
ing made the tool of a sharper. In " Paid in Full" Led-
bitter's designs are continued, and the plot is becoming de-
veloped. The adventures of Horace Bentley are very
amusingly chronicled, and his attempts at the part of a dra-
matist are most ludicrous. " In Church" is a peculiar sketch
in verse, which hardly befits the style of its subject as regards
reverence, and seems to make jokes on matters which should
be treated otherwise. " Victor Hugo on Shakspere" is
an article that is appropriate at the present time. It is
said in conclusion that it is well when the people of both
the countries of England and France are versed in the

literature of each, and best of all, that they should sincerely
admire and justly appreciate in common the immortal
writings of Shakspere. "True to the Last" is a sketch of
a very silly young man who deserved the fate that he met
with. " Church-street," Liverpool, figures this month
among Mr Sala's " Streets of the World." It is sketched
in his usual racy style. Other subjects of interest com-
plete the varied contents of the number, amid which appear
"A Druse Funeral on Mount Lebanon," "Catherine the
First, Empress of Russia," and some expressive lines at
the end, " Traces on the Sand."

THE ST. JAMES'S MAGAZINE.—This is a better
number than usual of the St. James's being more
varied in its contents than is customary. The
story of the "Man in Chains" which has for the
last several months been the sheval de bataille, is
brought to a conclusion, and certainly the author follows
the sensational fashion of his time to the extreme. The
lovers of excitement cannot possibly find any fault with
these concluding chapters, which include the recovery of a
fortune, the loss of an old estate, a double forgery, and a
double murder. There are also some inoidental circum-
stances which render these events still more extraordinary.
Thus, the estate which Lord Montalban loses proves to belong
to Silvester Langdale, his son-in-law, and this astounding

fact only becomes known in the court in which he is con-
ducting his father-in-law's case, in his capacity as barrister.
The particulars of the forgery are still more original, but
we will leave the admirers of the marvellous to discover
them for themselves. "Among the Hops" is the title of
a pleasant ehapter on our English vineyards, which the
writer styles the most graceful of agricultural products.
The plant itself, which is generally supposed to be indi-
genous to this country, was, he tells us, brought from
Flanders at the beginning of the sixteenth century, but it
has certainly naturalised itself since that time to very good
purpose. A paper on poor " John Clare," whose story is
one of the most mournful chapters in literary history, is
well worth reading, and is written in a kindly and appre-
ciative spirit. It is to be hoped that patrons and poets
will alike take warning—the one of the difficulty and dan-
ger of transplanting a man from his native sphere, and the
other of the fickleness of popular favour, and the transient
nature of fame so easily won. The "Records of an Old
Police Court" show some entertaining varieties of felon
life, and " Art in Aid of Beauty" gives some directions to
ladies as to the choice of colours, &c., many of which are,
we fear, too elaborate to be impressive. There are several
other tales and sketches, besides various poetical contribu-
tions of no very high order of merit.

MACMILLAN'S MAGAZINE...-" The ilillyars and,
the Burtons" still occupies the prominent place in.

Macmillan. As the reader might have inferred from
the last chapter, old Sir George has died intestate, and
Erne Hillyar is consequently turned adrift upon the world.
He resolves to share the Burtons' fortunes, and to go with
them to Australia, but Emma, whose conduct appears to be
extravagant and unreasonable, objects to such a course.
Mr Maurice, whose name is better known as a theologian.
than a politician, discourses about corruption at elections,
and plainly tells us that a good many very respectalle
people are guilty of exercising illegal influence, directly or
indirectly. The Editor's Recollections of Dead Men
whom he has known are this month especially interesting,
for they recall Dr Chalmers. Another literary portrait is
given us by Mr Dicey, who portrays Nathaniel Hawthorne•
with a careful and discriminative hand. He was, according
to this writer, quite out of harmony with his people and his
time, belonging rather to that race of scholars and philoso-
, pliers who love to dream in their studies than to the hard
bustling business world of the United States. "How he
ever came to have been born in that bustling Now World
became, from the first moment I knew him, an increasing
mystery to me. If ever a man was out of his right ele-
ment, it was Hawthorne. He belonged indeed to that
scattered Shandean family who never are in their right
places wherever they happen to be born—to that race of
Hamlets to whom the world is always out of joint any-
where." The portrait thus drawn is not a pleasing one,
though probably lifelike. "A Son of the Soil" proceeds
with interest, though it is rather diffuse ; and " The Last
Days of Sonderbore gives a description of the quiet home
life of the little town a few days before its bombardment.

LONDON, FRIDAY, JULY 1, 1864.

But that the slaughter of the Federals still con•
tinues to be so very frightful out in that deplorable
American seat of war, it would be almcst laughable
reading, as we do, among these last intimations re-
ceived from New York, under date June 23, " STAN.

TON announces that important movements are in pro-
gress"—together with the usual added hocus-pocus
—" which cannot yet be made public." That
kind of official intimation, just as the mail
is leaving for Europe, has been made so often
—and hithereo has invariably ended so disas-
trously . They are always making " important
movements"—the phrase used to be (until they
were laughed out of it) "strategic movements"—
those unfortunate Federals. And, besides that,
there has always been some untoward impediment,
somehow or another, in the way of the progress of
those same movements being made public. Whenever
by the mail ensuing, the result has come to be made
public—it has always, we repeat, proved in its cha-
raster to have been disastrous instead of advantageous
to the cause of the Federal Government. Opposed
to the Confederate Array, the Army of the Federate
has hitherto proved to be little better then what
LEIGH HUNT once comically likened a feather bed
to, namely, a Great Lubberly Giant. And the
Great Lubberly Giant over in America somehow
newer contrives to tumble on a feather bed. He is
always receiving punishment, and punishment of
the most frightful character. According to
these last accounts, per the China, the Federal
1°44 has again been something frightful. Eight
thousand men in two days (the 17th and 18th) are
acknowledged by the Federals themselves to have
been put hors de combat —but the telegram adds the
number is believed to be still greater I In fact, a
single corps alone (BANCOCK'S) is known to have
suffered losses to the extent of four thousand
two hundred men. Thanks to our wonderful
new-fangled principle of Non-intervention—so
rigidly applied in regard to formidable struggles like
those now raging in the North of Etrope between
Denmark and Germany, and in North
America be-
tween the Federals and the Confederates, but Eo
in-
differently applied in instances like that wret Abed
contest in China between the Taepings and the
Imperialists—thanks to this delightfully ',testi, , and
elasticprinciple of non- intervention the horrors twat
are in a fair way of being stili indefinitely conti need
in both hemispheres. Diplomatic interference el en,
is shrunk from, as between the rival Pow era
at Richmond and at Washington. And so witl a
war expenditure of cur own for many years p tat

we are permitted to enjoy, at a safe distance, tl le
luxury of beholding a four years' struggle of ti .e
most sanguinary end revolting kind going on maim -
