THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, SEPTEMBER 1, 18647

twenty-two instimeions of a totally different character, yet
this is the task which the guardians of every large Union
actually undertake. Miss Cobb° is well acquainted with
her subject, which she has studied not only theoretically,
but practically, and her comments upon the system, its
physical and moral Effects, and the improvements of which
it is capable, are very well worth consideration.
BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY,—The record of the
strange and varied fortunes of John Law, of the
Mississippi scheme, is in this number brought to a
conclusion. Mr Ainsworth retains him as a hero
to the end, not abandoning him in his hour of did
comfiture, after the fashion of more worldly
admirers. " The Summer Tour or Signor Tomkins" nar-
rates sundry wonderful adventures which befell that worthy
on the excursion to the Lessalbo and on other occasions.
" Our Own Correspondent" continues his or her account
of il winter in Washington, giving a pleasant insight into
Ante: lean life. It is curious, while the whole land is torn
and desolated by the terrible and protracted struggle, to
read of Al.'s and the dqnsanios of mock statuary and tableaux
virante. "A B at the Barrier" is an amuPing anecdote
of a mal-ehtendu that ended pleasantly; while "Seven
Years at the Opera" is a paper founded on a recent French
work which is worth reading. " The Corsair's Bride" is
concluded in the same serio-comic fashion which has already
entertained its readers; while for more solid articles we
have an essay by Francis Jacox, called "Side-wind Sallies of
Spleen," and a notice of the memoirs of an almost forgotten
diplomatist who in his time played a busy part.
COLBURN'S NEW MONTHLY.—Mrs Bushby com-
mences a new story entitled "Woodbury" in this
Part, so that the lovers of fiction have little to com-
plain of, since "The glut" and " Strathmore" are
still proceeding. The latter story is original and
striking, although somewhat diffuse and exaggerated
in style. The present chapters are among the most powerful
that the author has given us, and seem to indicate a possi-
bility of his getting beyond his ordinary circle of passionate
impulse and fashionable cynicism, "Cotton Possibilities,"
by Alexander Andrews, discusses a very weighty question,
one which happily is on the road to a favourable solution.
Mr Francis Jacox meets us here again with an essay that
commends itself to the industrious artist of " Shadows,"
for it chronicles sundry instances, real and fictitious, of the
"British Affinities of the Human. Face Divine." One of
the most interesting articles in the number, however, is that
on the correspondence of the unfortunate Marie Antoniette,
which gives copious extracts from her familiar correspon-
dence, unveiling the secret unhappiness of the palace and
the diadem. Cyrus Redding contributes an article on
" Prussia and her Antecedents," in which he does not spare
that unscrupulous and aggressive power. "Prussia," ho
says, "in her past and present history, reminds us of the
Psalmist's query—' Wherefore do the wicked live, become
old, yea mighty in power?' Such dispensations are puzzling
to our humanity in relation to national as well as to indi-
viduel action." The conclusion of the melancholy story of
" The Young Officer in India" is the first part of a detailed
account of the story of Hofer, the Tyrolese patriot, which is
very different from the generally received versions.
TEMPLE BAR.—" The Doctor's Wife" is con-
tinued, and Mrs Gilbert is turning over a new leaf
all of a sudden and tries to be good ; she does net
succeed very well though in her crude efforts.
Isabel Gilbert was not devoid of good influences,
although she appeared to all intents and purposes
as if she did not care for appearances, and was
almost reckless in her demeanour. Something mysterious
will in all probability occur in the next number of this story,
as the closing chapter is called by the significant title of
"The First Whisper of the Storm," "The Streets of the
World," by G. Sala, presents us this month with an inte-
resting sketch. "Boulogne, the Rue de I'Ecu" is the one
chosen for present discussion, and the theme is a peculiar
one. The street has changed its name of late years out of
deferer ce to one who once played a strange part in that
town, and now occupies a distinguished position in the
world. The exile Louis Napoleon, and his Majesty the
Emperor, as two very different personages, paid visits to
Boulogne. They have been cleverly sketched here and
male, may be attracted by the graphic details put before
them. " Oh, but the times were rarely changed I Into the
town whence he had been haled away, the butt of fish-
women, the vagabond bondsman, the awful example of re-
fractory gamins—he the most refractory among them all—
he came now a conqueror, and more than a king. His
legions, mustering their tens of thousands, were encamped
upon the heights around. He who had been so near the
halter could not bestow the grand cordon of the Legion of
Honour on whomsoever he chose." "Towns on the Avon''
is a very charming sketch of beautiful places, written by
one who evidently enters eon amore into his subject. It is
sometimes surprising to think how many travel far and wide
to survey the splendours of soenery, while the beauties of
their own land are left unexplored. The remarks on vari-
ous topics are worth noticing. One is concerning Kenil-
worth Castle, where the porter "dwarfs one's ideas by
clamouring for coppers. The land, I suppose is his lord-
ship's, dut the castle belongs to Sir Walter Scott and the
British nation." "Broken to Harness" becomes very ex-
citing in this portion, and several schemes are progressing
in various quarters that promise speedily to become exciting.
" Penal Legislation" is a paper which takes rather a depre-
ciatory view of the bill passed last session relative to these
matters, but does not na)ke out a very good case in its cen-
soriousness. " Paid in Full" is continued, and various dis-
comfitures arise to several characters in the story. These
are amusingly told, and especially the disappointment that
occurs in the representation of Horace's play. This latter
individual does not improve upon acquaintance by any
means, and his behaviour to his wife is most unsuitable.
" Weeds before Widowhood" is a peculiar tale, that exhibits
some ingenuity on the part of the writer, but does not seem
very probable. "The Dance of Death as a Mystery" is a
peculiar sketch, that will very likely attract some readers
by its quaintness, and contains some accounts of bygone
oustoms that are curious to dwell upon. It is said that the
"popularity of the 'Dance of Death,' setting forth death as
dancing with persons of every age, rank, and condition, and
dragging all inevitably after it, was so great in the fifteenth
century that tho subject was treated, and in some places
may dill be found existing, on the walls of cloisters and
cathedrals, and other hely buildings, in all parts of civilised
Europe."

MACMILLAN.— It is something new to find the
vexed question of Schleswig-Holstein, which. has
puzzled statesmen, perplexed diplomatists, and irri-
tated politicians of every degree, raised into the
domain of poetry, with which questions of German
genealogy and Prussian greed would seem at first
sight to have little to do. Yet this is the onerous duty
fafthfully discharged by Professor Max Muller, who exa-
mines into the language and poetry of the world famous
Duchies. The editor continues his retrospective pictures
of " Dead. Men whom I have Known," giving in this in-
stalment his recollections of Dr Chalmers in middle life.
Henry Kingsley continues his story of "The Hillyars and
the Eurtons," which, whatever its defects in an artistic
point of view, cannot possibly be said to lack incident or
animation. The chapters before us throw a light on the dark
days of Sir George Hillyar's early history, and indicate the
possibility of better times for Erne. " Girls' Soho ils," by
Archibald Madam, of the Oxford Gymnasium, commends
itself to the notice of parents and teachers. It is written in
a clear simple style, showing the great injury to health
which results from the regular practice of schools, the want
of free active exercise for the growing limbs, the monotony
of the food, the bad apportionment of the hours, &c. The
deficiency of exercise is, however, to his mind the chief evil.
Girls, he says, grow as rapidly as boys. " The laws of their
development are the same—there is no single reason why
they should be denied their share in this all important agent
of health, yet the idea of making any provision for its em-
ployment, nay, the idea of employing it at all, seems never
to have been contemplated. The two and two walk
is the sole and single form of exercise that appears
ever to have presented itself as being necessary or even de-
sirable. Can we wonder, then, that the hollow chest and
twisted spine are so sadly frequent ? Is it strange that so
few grow to womanhood either healthy er graceful. Is it
not rather a matter of wonder that any should do so at all ?
He advocates the introduction of playgrounds, with the
use of such feminine games and sports as ball and battle-
door, grass hoops, skipping-ropes, and other pastimes, which
might call the young frame a little more into action than
the stiff and measured two and two walk. Those who ad-
mire eccentricities of dialect may turn to " At the Door," a
Dorsetshire poem, and they who are interested in the for-
tunes of Colin Campbell will find the tenth part of "
Son of the Soil" not inferior to its predecessors.
THE ST. JAMES'S.—The second instalment of the
indefatigable Miss Braddon's new story of " Only
a Clod" opens this number, and introduces us to
Francis Tredethlyn, now converted into an esquire and
owner of his grim old uncle's estate. Curiously enough,
too, the wheel of fortune brings him under the magic in-
fluence of fair Maude Hillary, the ladylove of his quondam
master, Harcourt Lowther. The plot is as yet, of course,
undeveloped ; but it is easy to see that these three charac-
ters, end little Susan Tredethlyn, the old man's disin-
herited child, will form the chief centre of interest. "The
Dipplebury Scandal" is brought to a somewhat unsatisfac-
tory conclusion, inasmuch as the rogue of the piece escapes
with a handsome fortune. It need not, however, be cen-
sured for improbability on that ground. The storytellers
have yet another corner of the number in the continuation
of " Working in the Dark," by Paul Feval, author of " The
Duke's Motto," and in the narrative of a practical joke,
which ended somewhat unpropitiously, to judge from its
title, " How I lost my uncle's fortune." Dr Seoffern con-
tributes a carefully written paper tee Hydrophobia, em-
bodying a good deal of useful information ; and the
" Queen's Messenger " tells us the details of the overland
route to Constantinople. "Looking into Futurity" reveals
some of the wizard's secrets; and " Tentatives by the
Laureate" is a somewhat severe criticism of the new volume
of poems.

LONDON SOCIETY.—The discomforts of life in the
moors are vividly described by an adventurous
damsel who determined to view everything through
a romantic medium, has ventured into their wilds.
" The Gre%t Prize" is rsn anitrattted story of a French

Lottery-, and consists mainly of the recital of a lucky
escape from some desperate and ingenious robbers. We
have an agreeable paper setting forth the attractions of
archery, which is nowbecomieg one of the fashionable pas•
times, with mote rensOn than paan3' other devices for killing
time. " The Tale of a Chivalrous Life" tells the story of
the good knight, sans pear a sans reproche, flap Chevalier
Bayard, and a paper entitled " Gossip for the Holidays"
mixes anecdote, incident, and illustration in the most hete-
rogeneous fashion, There is a long instalment of the prin-
cipal story, " The Ordeal for Wives," whieh chronicles
strange changes. Mrs Tudor dies, and Thither rleming,
after breaking off her engagement with her returned love,
spends a dreary year at her quiet country home, and finally
starts in the world once more as nursery governess to the
step-child of Milly Dashwood. There are several other
papers of varying merits, with lively verses, and the usual
complement of graceful and spirited illustrations,
TIIE SIXPENNY MAGAZINE.—A plentifal supply
of light reading is, as usual, to be found in this
magazine, and its readers cannot certainly quarrel
‘Niila the liberality of the banquet provided for
them. The singular story of "singed Moths" in
continued, and the instalment strips the fair Mary
of her temporary dignity as Indian Princess and ends the
earthly career of the ambitious sheriff. "Barry O'Byrne"
is the most conspicuous among the tales, and proceeds in
its author's accustomed manner. 'We have another Ame-
rican love story, founded on the incidents of the war, a
Greek tale, a on Hand Magic, an account of the
burning of an East Indianian, and numerous other articles.
„Tom Engledue's Adventures" is a light and amusing
sketch, and "Remarkable Cases of Obesity" is the title of
a paper which describes some cases that m'ght puzzle Mr
Banting.

GOOD WORDS.—We have here, as usual, a variety
of pleasant reading, interspersed with serious re-
flections and adorned with numerous woodcuts.
The story of " Oswald Cray," by the popular authoress of
East Lynne," is continued with spirit, and records in
this part the crash of the mining speculation. More trouble
is in store for poor Lara in consequence, and it remains to
be seen how the foolish and reckless young couple will
meet the storm. Paterfamilias wisely suggests that
the same grounds which served for Mr Bass's Bill
against the organ-grinders will apply a prohibitory
Act against smoking. The Rev. W. Houghton furnishes
an interesting- and learned paper on the sense of hearing iu
animals, and shows us how marvellously "Nature's chil-
dren all receive her care." "From Saturday to Monday"
is a pleasantly written paper, a tribute, which the reader
may take for granted when he sees the well-known initials
A. K. H. B, at the end of it. Isaac Taylor contributes an
article on the " Wheat Harvest and its Interpretation,"
which we may be sure is a profitable one. Mr Gosso con-
tinues his " Year at the Shore." Other papers of interest
are to be found in the number.

THE BOY'S OWN MAGAZINE. Beeton.—The
style and character of this magazine is very good,
and well adapted to entertain and interest boys.
One of the best things in the number is
''Ensign M'K.mna and the Victoria Croas,"
which as a page out of real actual every-
day history will attract its readers far more than
the most thrilling narrative of bygone days. " Ensign"
INl‘Elenna was raised to that position from the ranks in re-
cognition of the signal services for which he also obtained
the Victoria Cross. The incident will be fresh in the me-
mory of those who have followed the course of events in
New Zealand, and deserves to be told afresh to those who
have not heard the full particulars. Another paper of a very
different character, but which is well worth reading never-
theless, is an essay on " Training," by Westhall, the noted
pedestrian. It is satisfactory to find it is well and simply
written, clear and to the point without any circumlocution
or attempted fine writing.. It is a sensible treatise on a very
sensible matter--one only too much neglected in the edu-
cation of our youth,

EVERY BOY'S MAGAZINE. THE BOY'S MONTHLY
MAGAZINE.—Boys are rich in serial literature de-
vised especially for their benefit. Both these little
miscellanies are entertaining and exciting, with a due ad-
mixture of that " sensation" element, which even boys in
the present day cannot do without.
THE BRITISH • ARMY AND NAVY REVIEW.
No. lll.—The third number of this new and clever
magezine is the best that has yet appeared. It is
well written and varied in its contents, while its
tone is high spirited and independent, not fearing
to regard the public service above the prejudice of
cliques and the interests of ptaties. The third
chapter of" Lee's Second Year of Campaigns in Defence
of Richmond," treats of the closing day of Gettysburg, re-
marking that the incidents of the battle deserve close and
attentive study. " The Navy as it should be" is an excel-
lent paper. The writer strongly recommends what we
have always advocated—the substitution of a permanent
board at the Admiralty instead of the appointments chang-
ing with every fresh Government. Why sh uld the Admi •
ratty be affected by poliiical changes more than the Horse
Guards? Why should a civilian bo placed at the head of
so responsible a board ? Assuredly it is not that naval
science requires less professional skill or knowledge
than military. But au generally is the office left
in the hands of a landsman that during the
present century only three naval officers have held
the post of Firbt Lord, and these for very brief periods. The
account of the singuiar and varied life of Thomas Keith,
a private in the 78th Highlanders, who became Aga of the
Mamelukes and Governor of Medina, is full of interest, It
is from the pen of James Grant, author of "The Romance
of War," of which romance this strange and eventful life
may certainly be said to fill a chapter. "Fortification and
its Uses" is the title of a paper specially addressed to the
Volunteers, but very well worth reading by unprofessional
wen. The account of Vauban, the great military engineer,
is interesting. An amusing anecdote told in the course of
it shows how "great events from little causes spring." It
was a maxim of Vauban's that in defending a city no means
of embarrassing the besieger should be despised. In support
of this theory, he told of the successful defenoe of the town
of Chatte on the Moselle, when the struggle between be-
sieged and besiegers was very severe, and a terrible breach
was made in the wall. The defenders of the town flung
into the breach four or five hives of bees that were at hand,
" which, being enraged at finding themselves so treated,
attacked the besiegers, and stung them so violently that
they were forced to give up and retire into the trenches,
where the bees followed them with such invincible obsti.
nacy that the trenches were deserted for several days, dur-
ing which time the defenders repaired the breach, and made
preparation for sustaining a second assault more advan-
tageously than the first, and they were well resolved to re-
sort again to the same expedient, and this was the lea3t
important cause of the siege being raised." Let us hope,
concludes the writer quoting this story, that if any foreign
enemy should land on our shores we may repulse them with
as stinging a remembrance of their defeat, "The Indian
Medical Bill" of Sir Charles Wood is examined at some
length, and
_censured with all the severity which it de-
serves.

KA,NT,S MODE or LIFE.-1( int lived in a modest
and retired house, in a quiet street behind the old
palace. Every morning, winter and summer, the old so
dier, who was his servant, came into his bedroom at five
minutes to five, and said "It is time." The philosopher
rose instantly, dressed with wonderful rapidity, and by five
was seated at his breakfast table, where he drank ono or
two cups of tea—nothing more—smoked a pipe and collected
his ideas for the work of the day. Atseven he went out for
lectures, and on returning sot to work till a quarter to one,
Precisely at the quarter he dressed for dinner, took a glass
of wine to excite his appetite, and was ready for the guests
whom he had invited. He never dined alone and always
breakfasted alone. Dinner was the time when he liked to
receive his friends. At his breakfast he was so much ac-
customed to solitude that when once a friend dropped in at
that hour and asked to share his meal, Kant was embar-
rassed, and ended by asking his friend to sit where he could
not see him, saying that for more than half a century
he had never seen a soul near him while he drank his tea
in the morning. But at dinner he could not bear to be left
to himself. He always took care to invite some of his friends
beforehand, and one day when none of them could come he
sent his servant into the street to pick up the first passer-
by and bring him in to dinner. He could not bear to be
kept waiting. For this reason ho detested ceremony
at table, and the most agreeable of his guests was the ono
who took a dish without offering it to others, so that the
turn of the host came the more qaickly, It must be re-
membered that Kant had eaten nothing all the morning
and had been working steadily. Dinner lasted two hours
or more, and was a very pleasant meal, the great metaphysi-
cian talking in a simple and popular style on all subjects of
the day, especially on politics, of which ho was a diligent
reader, His passion for them was such that he sometimes
flung himself eagerly on the newspapers in the morning,
which one would have thought a profanation. For his
study was a sanctuary, sacred to intellectual labours,
en I nothing mundane was ev. r heard iu it. Not till the
guests had quitted the study and entered the dining room
did Kant relax his philosophic gravity. After dinner he
took his regular walk up and down a small alley of limes,
which is called the Philosopher's Alley. His walk was
always solitary, except on rainy and threatening days,
when his servant followed him " with an umbrella under
his arm, and with a restless and vigilant look, an exact
image of Providence." Kant had two reasons for walking
alone; he wanted to think, and he did not want to open
his mouth. He fhought that by breathing through his nose
the air would be admitted gradually to his lungs, and that
he had less risk of taking cold, On coming home he read
the papers. In the evening he made notes for lectures the
next day, of for his writings, read and meditated on what
he read, writing down any ideas that struck him. At ten
he went to bed ; a quarter of an hour before retiring he
suspended all occupations, and cleared his mind of all
thoughts that might prevent him sleeping. His bedroom
was never heated, its windows were always kept shut sum-
mer and winter, and the lights were excluded as carefully
as the air,— Corititill Naga ins for September.

MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE,

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK:

The weekly meeting of the Bank of England directors
has broken up without any change in the charge for dis-
count having been made. The result was anticipated as
much from the unconcernedness with which the subjeot was
watched either by brokers or the public generally, as from
the supposed future action of the market. The commercial
community are now only barely supplying themselves with
accommodation, and although there is not the least pressure,
the rates remain firm at 7a ,1 for the best bills.
The Bank of England authorities yesterday purchased
£225,000 in gold, forming a portion of the recent supply
by the West India packet,
The Bonk ct Amsterdam has raised its rate of discount
from 41 to 5 per cent.
