dom of Italy is based it will not be the less inspired
by those benevolent sentiments of which Russia has
given us such patent proofs. This is not the first
time that disturbances have taken place in Poland;
frequent insurrections, which Russia has always
succeeded in putting down, have at short intervals
devastated that unfortunate country. This series of
movements, always recurring and always suppressed
by superior forces, demonstrates in our opinion that
the military honour ef Russia does not require au
additional triumph in this unequal struggle; it
proves at the same time that the problem to be
solved cannot be done so by force only in a radical
and final manner. By adopting in his wisdom a
system of a nature to obviate the causes of that)
crises, the Emperor Alexander would acquire a just
claim to the gratitude of Europe by quieting alarm
and assuring peace. He would, moreover, open to
the noble Russian nation a new era of greatness and
glory. I beg of you, M. le Marquis, to leave a copy
of this despatch with Prince Gortschakoff, and be-

THE LATE A. L. EGG, R A., AT SASS'S—QUERY,
GANDISH'S P—On one occasion Mr. Sass, who had
quite a romantic notion of the dignity of the profession,
and did justice to this view by his solemn department,
suddenly discovering a pewter quart-pot in a little cup-
board in the pedestal of the Apollo Belvedere, held it out
in great indignation, inquiring to whom it belonged, Mr.
Augustus Leopold advanced politely, with the naive assur-
ance that he believed it belonged to the publican round the
corner, whose name was engraved on its face. "My ques-
tion, sir, applies to the person who is responsible for its
introduction he, e." "It was I, sir, who had the beer for
my lunch brought in ir," replied the student. " Then I
have to declare, Mr. Egg," said the scandalised Mr. Sass,
gesticulating with the pot still in his hand, " that your
conduct makes it easy to prophesy you will never succeed
in your pursuit of art; and it seems he held this view to
the last, altho gh the student drew and progressed steadily,
and exhibited no degrading taste but in the instance given
of love of beer out of the pewter. Like Clive Neweome,
under similar circumstances, the young gentleman had his
horse brought to the door by the groom when he left at
three or four in the afternoon ; and in all things, it would
appear, he conducted his studies in a more luxurious way
than his fellows. _

THE RUSSIAN ARMY.—Tbe 7 ygodnik, states, on
the authority of official documents, that the active Russian
army now comprises, after the reductions which have been
made, 335,000 infantry, 61,0u0 cavalry, 55,000 of the reserve,
60,000 artillerymen with 2,000 cannon—making a total of
510,000 men on paper. The real effective force, however,
is considerably lees, and does not exceed 300,000 men.

SCHOOLS.

Sir S. NORTHCOTE asked several questions with re-
spect to the mode of dealing with the payment of masters
in Government schools.

Mr. LO WE replied that the rules of the Privy Council
were not likely to be altered. The managers of the schools
would have to make gcod all the contracts into which they
had entered with their schoolmasters and schoolmistresses.
MR. ODO RUSSELL
IGANDS. AND THE ROMAN
BE

Mr. P. HENNESSY repeated his questions of last
evening.
Lord PALMERSTON could not understand why
those questions were perpetuated, save to cause un-
pieasantness between the Duke de Montebello and
Mr. Russell. It appeared that 260 brigands left the
Roman States, and entered the Neapolitan territory attired
in French uniform, which was easily effected, as the old
uniforms were sold to the Jews, and therefore the circum-
stance reflected no discredit on the French authorities.
The Duke do Montebello spoke from information, so
did Mr. Russell. It appeared that these dresses
were taken to the convents, where arms had been sent in
herring cases, so that it was easy to make such a
foray, and so attired. The agents of the Duke had
not been very active, or the men could not
hainve_3 passed the frontier. As the Pope was a mere puppet
the hands of the French authorities at Rome, it rested
Pith tha French to prevent the machinations of the cow-

mittee, who instigated these offensive acts, to prevent this
organised system of preventing men committing ravages
on the Neapolitan territory. He believed a great expedition
was intended in the present month of May.
_ _ _

Lord J. MANNERS called upon the noble lord to pro-
duce the papers which he had referred to, according to the
practice of the house. The noble lord had not hesitated to
make a very serious charge.
Lord PALMERSTON replied that it was new to him
that a Minister was bound to produce all documents to
which he simply referred—if he read a despatch he was
bound to produce it. He would, however, look at the
despatch, and see whether there was anything in it,

MURDER AT BEDFORD.

On Sunday night, as a gentleman named Budd,
with his wife, were returning from Mr. Pulley's,
St. Paul's-square, Bedford, about eleven o'clock,
they were met by a number of men, some of the
Beds militia, and several civilians, near to Mr.
Higgins' brewery, Castle-lane, where Mr. Budd
was furiously attacked, some striking him with
their fists, and the soldiers with their belts, unti
he was frightfully wounded and covered with
blood, the brutal party then running away. Mr.
Budd managed to reach the house of the deputy
chid constable for the county. Mr. Graham not
being within, his son took the particulars narrated
by Mr. Budd, accompanying the suffering gentle-
man to Captain Boultbee's, the chief constable of
Beds, but that officer was ill in bed. Mr. Budd
was then assisted to his home on the limbolton-
road, young Graham hastening for Mr. Coachman,
surgeon, who was soon in attendance, remaining
until about one o'clock in the morning. Soon after
Mr. Couchman was gone Mr. Budd said to his wife,
" I feel much worse than I at first supposed," and,
before Mr. Couchman could again arrive, he expired
at about a quarter past two that morning, Deputy
Chief Constable Graham having then arrived.
The police then went in active search of the as-
sailants of Mr. Budd, taking into custody early on
Monday morning two civilians, named Robert Gor-
don, blacksmith, and Wm. Craddock, a carpenter,
both of Bedford, and two privates of the Beds mili-
tia, named Thomas Spring and Thomas Burridge,
both of Ridgmount, Beds. A. third militiaman,
whose belt has been found covered with blood, ab-
sconded, and has not at present been taken into
custody. Mrs. Budd is in such an alarming state of
health that great doubts are entertained of her re-
covery. Colonel Gilpin, M.P., the commander of
the Beds Regiment of Militia, and other officers,
are in the borough making every effort to trace
the guilty party, expressing great regret that such
a crime had been committed, and that any of his
men had been parties to it. In the course of Mon-
day seven men, two of them civilians, and the other
five members of the Bedford militia, were brought
before the magistrates, when, after several witnesses
were examined, the bench discharged two of the
militiamen (Burridge and Spring) out of custody.
The case as against the others was remanded; but
the three other militiamen were admitted to bail,
which was refused to the two civilians, Gordon and
Craddock, against whom the case assumes a more
serious aspect.

QUEEN MARY.

Mary was small of stature, with beautiful hands and
feet. Her person was well made but too thin, and her car-
riage, though majestic, was exceedingly stiff, and lacked
the grace which ease alone can impart. In her younger
days she had been accounted good-looking, but she could
scarcely be considered so now. Her eyes were large and
grey, and her glances keen and steady. Her face was
round, her tresses inclining to red, if they did not even ac-
tually attain that hue, and the nose too flat and large.
Her lips, too, were thin and compressed. Altogether,
there was a hardness and severity about her face
that destroyed its pleasing character, while prema-
ture wrinkles about the eyes and brow gave her age.
If Mary did not inherit the beauty either of her father or
mother, she had many of the qualities by which both were
characterised. She had the courage, firmness, and obsti-
nacy of Henry VIII., and she had all tha virues belonging
to the unfortunate Katherine of Arragon. Her conduct,
under the trials to which she was exposed, was most exem•
plary, and even her enemies could find no fault with it.
Firmly attached to the principles of the Catholic religion,
in which she had teen brought up, she never wavered for a
moment in her adherence to her faith, but would have suf-
fered martyrdom rather than renounce it. When commanded
by the council under Edward VI. to desist from the per-
formance of mass, she still continued to celebrate it in private.
Mary spoke well in public, and possessed a voice so sonorous
that she could be distinctly heard by a large assemblage.
Her stirring address to the citizens at Guildhall gave the
coup de grace to Wyat's formidable rebellion. ,
She arose at daybreak, performed her religious duties, heard
mass, and thenceforward devoted herself to public business,
being easy of access to all who desired to approach her.
Bigoted Mary was intolerant and severe towards those who
differed with her on points of faith; but she had many re-
deeming qualities, which should have r-aved her from the
obloquy to which she has been subjected.
And here is a lifelike sketch of

CONTINUATION OF THE RIOTS IN
NEW YORK.
NEW YORK, JULY 17.
._ _

(Per the Hibernian.)
Everything is reported quiet in the city this
morning, a strong military force having arrived.
The riots continued with great fury yesterday
and the previous day. Several encounters took
Place between the military and the mob, a great
number being killed on both sides.

It is stated that probably the last fight of any
consequence between the military and the rioters
occurred near Nir:th-street. A military force had
been sent to drive away the rioters, who were pino-
dering houses to such an extent that nearly every
house for three or four blocks on each side of the
street were filled with them. The mob fired bullets,
who bad to withdraw.
stones, and other deadly missiles, upon the soldiers,

700 regular troops were sent up as a reinforce-
ment, when a terrible battle ensued. 11 rioters
were killed, 18 wounded, and 35 taken prisoners.
Fifteen men of the sth Company of the 7th Regi-
ment were reported killed by brickbats. One of
the leaders of the rioters, named Andrews, has been
arrested. 5;000 cavalry sabres and 100 muskets
have been seized by the police in a house ifi Stanton.

the city from Archbishop Hughes, requesting the

at two o'clock, for the purpose of hearing an address
urging them to return to their la•A ful avocations.
They arc promised protection while listening to the
address. •

GREECE.

A Copenhagen letter lately mentioned that the
young king of Greece made his departure for
Athens to depend on a mixed occupation of that
capital by English and French troops. The Cour-
rier du Dimanche declares itself authorised to con-
tradict that report in the most formal manner.
That journal also states that George I. will proceed
to his kingdom between the Ist and 15th S,pt.
Another Copenhagen letter contains the follow-
ing A rather curious accident which occurred
a few days back at the Hamburg International Ex-
hibition is now forming the subject of conversation
here. The young King George I. being there,
found himself, while in one of the compartments of
the division where the newly-invented agricultural
machines were exhibited, close to King Otho.

Mr. BLAKE repeated his question with respect to the
man Philip Hayes, tried at the la e Nenagh. Assizes.
Mr. MONSELL asked if the Queen's proclamation, now
that Limerick was peaceable, would be wilhdrawn ?
The ATTORNEY-GENERAL for IRELAND replied
that the matter was under the consideration of the Execu-
tive Government. In the case of Limerick, no doubt a
favourable result would follow its now peaceable condition,
THE PROROGATION.

Precisely at one minute att.'. 3 o'clock, Sir AUGUSTI.: S
CLIFFORD, Gentleman Usher of the Black Rod, advanced
to the table and summoned the Speaker and the house to
hear the Royal Commissioner read her Majesty's Speech
on the prorogation of Parliament.
The Speaker, accompanied by the whole of the members,
immediately left the house and repaired to the House of
Lords.
At a qUarter to 4 the Speaker returned, and, calling the
members round the table, took up his position at the place
of the Chief Clerk, and read the Speech, written on paper
edged with black.
The right hon. gentleman then shook hands with the 40
or 50 members present and then retired.
Thus ended the session of 1863.

DUBLIN, JULY 27.
The 41st report of the Inspectors-General of pri-

sons (Mr. J. Corry Connellan and Mr. John fen-
thigne), which has just been issued, contains some

.nteresting statistics, Although on the Ist of Janu-
lry, 1863, the number of prisoners of all classes

exceeded those in charge on the corresponding days
of the four years immediately preceding, they did

not amount to one-third of the aggregate number
confined on the lst of January, 1851. In 1862 there

was an increase over 1861 of 2,344 male and 365

'emale prisoners. The daily average number of

prisoners presents an increase of 252 males and 12

The convictions of 1862 exceeded those of 1861 by

1,818, being 27,266 against 25,448. While the con-
victions of females at both assizes and quarter ses-

sions increased by only 8 per cent., the conviction
of males increased 17 per cent.; of the males 22

per cent. had undergone more than one imprison-
ment, and of the females 37 per cent. had been

more than once committed to gaol. Sentences of

death and penal servitude were passed in 1861 upon
353, and in 1862 upon 595. Of six sentenced to

death two had their sentences commuted. More
than a third or those who endured the punishment

of penal servitude were sentenced for three years
and under. Only three were sentenced for life.
Four-fifths of the whole number sentenced to
terms of imprisonmene were for periods not

exceeding a month, affording but an average

duration of detention for each prisoner of 11 days

an seven hours. The religious professions of pri-

soners were found to be nearly what they had been

the previous year—that is, Church Protestants,
10.39 per cent. ; Presbyterians, 2.61 per cent. ;
Roman Catholics, 83.3 per cent. ; " not ascer-
tained," 0.7 per cent.
The gaols have been generally healthy, and the
inmates free from contagious disease. The total

expenditure on gaols in 1861 was £77,714, and in
1862, £84,229. The profit on works reduced these
amounts about £2,500 in the former year, and about
£3,000 in the latter. The avet age cost per annum
of each prisoner was £26 18s. 60.—rather less than

the previous year, the difference being caused by the
increase in the number of prisoners.
The inspectors state that every one of the abuses
with regard to the treatment of lunatics detailed in

heir last report is still in force. They are stilt

brought to gaols tied down with ropes on cars, and
among the numbers committed from Union work-
houses sometimes very distressing cases occur.

OSBORNE, July 27.

The Queen held a council to-day, which was
attended by Earl Granville, Viscount Palmerston,
and Sir George Grey.
At the Council the Royal Speech for the proro-

COLONIAL.
TEA.—The dealings have been of a very limited descrip-
tion. Prices, however, are generally well sustained. The
public sales of Assam commenced to-day.
Su GAP..—Only a moderate business has been reported on
West India, and there is little change of importance to
notice in prices. Business in the refined market has been
confined principally to immediate home requirements.
COFFEE.—For Plantation and Native Ceylon there has
continued to be a fair inquiry at full rates ; other descrip-
tions remain without change in values.
Rtes.—The demand has been rather more active, good
and fine descriptions of East India having realised fully
previous quotations.
SALTPETRE.—A rather large business has been trans-
acted, and the tendency of prices has been upwards.
TALLOW.—The advices from St. Petersburg, coupled
with the unsatisfactory state of political affairs in Poland.
has caused considerable agitation in the tallow market, a
large speculative business having been done for forward
delivery. P.Y.C. on the spot is quoted 435. 9d. to 445.,
and last three months' delivery 40e. 6d. per cwt.

The Emperor is expected at the Camp of Chalons
about the 12,1 a August, where he will remain for
several days, to be present at manceuvres of the
troops and hold a general review.
Prince Napoleon Charles Bonaparte two days
back visited the experimental silk-growing estab-
lishment organised by M. Guerin-Aleneville on the
Imperial Farm of V:ncennes, near Joinville-lo-
Pont. The Prince went over the plantations of
oaks and mulberry-trees, and especially noticed the
fine cocoons of the oak silkworm, and the different
stages from the eggs to the worms placed in the
hedges, and making their cocoons in the open air.
On leaving his highness congratulated M. Guerin-
Meneville on the success of his experiments, which
Promise most advantageous results for the silk in-
dustry.

M. Kern, Envoy Extraordinary and Minister
Plenipotentiary of the Helvetic Confederation, left
Paris las, evening for Switzerland. It has already
been stated that the conferences on the Franco-
Swiss Treaty cf Commerce are suspended till

the command-in-chief of the naval division in the
Levant, in place of Rear-Admiral Touchard, whose
term has expired.
The Marquis de Gallifet, on his return from
Vichy last week, proceeded at once to St. Cloud to
deliver to the Prince Imperial the small cannon
offered to the French army in Mexico. This piece
of minia.ture artillery is of American manufacture,
having been presente6 by a President of the United
States to the Mexican Government. The young
Prince appeared delighted with the present, and
had it placed, with the thirty rounds of ammunition
which accompanied it, under cover in the Palace -
garden. The wounded officer was received by the
Empress with great distinction.

The Evening Post says that early this morning
the rioters on Staten Island burned the depot and
water station. They afterwards attacked and
burned the negro shanties, killing 100 negroes.
Many persons have left the island, including pro-
minent citizens who have been threatened.
All is quiet in Boston this morning.
Four or five persons were killed last night, and
probably a dozen wounded—some of them seriously.
file most daring act of the rioters was an attack on
the Armoury, in Cooper-street, where a fel ce of
military was stationed to protect it. Wthn the
mob had broken down the doors they were fired
❑pon by a six-pounder loaded with canister. This
effectually scattered the mob at that point. One
rioter was completely riddled with shot, and fell
dead at the door of the Armoury. Three young
women, and three or four small boys were wounded,
but not seriously. They were not participators in
the riots. The rioters then attacked the gun shops
in Dock•street, stealing and destroying from
40,000 to 50,006 dollars' worth of property. They
were speedily dispersed by a volley from the
revolvers of the police.
General Gilman reports officially the capture of
Morris Island except f bout a mile on the north
end, which includes Fort Wagner and a battery
on Cummins Point, mounting 14 or 15 guns in the
aggregate. He estimated his loss at 150 killed and
wounded. Eleven nieces of ordnexce and a large
quantity of camp equipage were captured,
General Lee is reported to be pushing rapidly to
Culpepper. The army of the Potomac is at Berlin,
Maryland.
There is no other war news of interest.

Cardinal Pole, or the days of Philip and Mary.
An Historical Romance by William Harriso❑
Ainsworth. Three vols. Chapman and Hall.
Harrison Ainsworth is especially the Genius of
Historical Romance. Pruspero's wand did not ex-
ercise a more potent sway over the Calibans anti
Arieis of the enchanted island, than does Mr. Ains-
worth's pen over the buried kings and heroes of our
history. Not the kings and heroes only, but the
men and manners of the times revive again at that
puissant bidding, the material as well as the social
world reappears before us. Again " Old Londo❑
Bridge" spans the Thames, " Old S'. Paul's" tolls
its memorable bell, again " Windsor Forest"—

" Neath whose trees the wild deer bounded
Ages long e'er we were born,
And our great-forefathers sounded
Many a jovial hunting born,"
is restored to its pristine magnificence. We know
no writer of the present age—an age peculiarly rich
in imaginative literature—no writer who can more
powerfully cast a spell over his reader and more
vividly conjure before him the scenes of which he
tells. If he describes to us in rapid nervous sen-
tences the ride of Turpin toYork ; if he follow with
suspended breath the escape of Jack Sheppard from
his prison ; if he takes us with the chivalrous Crich-
ton into the revels of the gay courtiers of Marguerite
de Valois ; if he lures us to the midnight horrors of
Lancashire Witches, like the Wedding Guest, in
"The Ancient Mariner," we cannot choose but follow
at his call, and become a charmed and sympathising
witness to the scene. In alluding to the vivid lights
and shadows which flicker across his pages, and to
the occasional gloom and horror which he delights
to excite, we have before now spoken of Mr. Ains-
worth as the Salvator Rosa of the Pen. His later
works, however, partake rather of the character of
historical paintings, aud, metaphorically speaking,
they are not unworthy to be preserved as such, as
truthful memorials of great events that have passed
away. Of this class is the work now before us,
" Cardinal Pole ; a Romance of the Days of Philip
and Mary." No royal photographer of that age,
had such an artist then by possibility existed, could
have transmitted to us more vivid and accurate por-
traits of the Queen end the Prince, and the great
men of their day, than Mr. Ainsworth has given us
in this glowingly coloured romance. Here is his
