LITERATURE.

The American Question. By Canon de Haerne,
Translated by Thomas Ray. Bvo., pp. 114. .Ridg-
way.

Although we by no means go with the learned
and generous hearted author of this pamphlet on
" The American Question" in much of his
argument, we cannot but recognise in that
argument of his an ability and an, eloquence en-
titling it to be regarded as one of the most remark-
able yet put forth upon The American Question
since the commencement of Hostilities between
those fratricidal belligerents, the Federals and
the Confederates. Canon de Haerne, it should
be observed, is himself a member of the Belgian
Chamber of Representatives. He has the know-
ledge of a legislator, the powers of an orator, the
genius of a statesman. He scans the American
difficulty from the summit of the height, from
under the shelter of the aegis of the institutions of
a wisely monarchical and a purely constitutional
form of Government. His views, as expressed in
this now celebrated pamphlet, have won for them•
selves a very large share of attention, and even,
it may be said, too, of unaffected admiration
throughout the intelligent masses of his own
countrymen. The translator, in turning it
now into English, has done good service (we doubt
not, even where we least agree with Canon de
Haerne), to the learned pamphleteer's reputation—to
his reputation here in England, and possibly also
upon the opposite shores of the Atlantic. At any
rate, in one particular, the most vitally important
of all in respect to the argument advanced thro ugh
the medium of this pamphlet, we can go, we do go,
heart and soul with the respected author of it—
namely, in his profound and earnest abhorrence of
Slavery as a political institution.

The Publisher's Circular.—ln the number (629;
just issued for the current half. month, we have,
under the title of a mere list of books, as interesting
a volume of 150 pages; profusely illustrated, really
and truly, as interesting a volume as almost any of
which it makes mention as recently published. It
certainly surpasses everyone enumerated among its
contents for the extraordinary variety and diversity
of it as an epitome of current literature.

Duke of Augustenburg should be recognised as
the Sovereign of Lauen burg, but that the Federal
Diet should rather take that Duchy under its own

administration.

This proposition was referred to the committee;
who will make their report and proposal thereon.

THAMES.

MURDEROUS AFFRAY.—William Sheers, a dirty and
dissipated ruffian, was brought before Mr. Partridge,charged
with violently assaulting and wounding Mary Ann Smith,
an unfortunate woman, dwelling at No. 2, Victoria-street,
Shadwell.

The complainant's face was cut in a frightful manner,
and there were several medical plaisters upon it. Her head
was covered with contusions and bruises, and her clothes
were stiffened with gore. The wretched woman on being
sworn said she knew the prisoner's wife and as he had two
children to maintain khe wished to forgive him. He
came to her house and was very tipsy, and after they had
been drinking together for some time, she fell down un the
fender and injured herself. She was as bad as he was.
Mr. Partridge said the witness was suppressing the facts,
and no doubt she had been tampered with.

James Stockleyvpolice constable No. 66 K, said he was
called to a house in Victoria-street yesterday afternoon at
half-past 4 o'clock. The woman was lying on the floor
quite senseless. The prisoner, who was very drunk and
noisy, said he would have the woman's life. Ho would rip
her open. The room where the transaction took place was
in great confusion, and everything overturned. Ha obtained
assistance, and carried the woman to the station house.
Eliza Martin, an unfortunate woman, said the prisoner
came to her lodgings yesterday evening with a bottle of
rum and a jar of beer, and after he had got drunk he laid
down and went to sleep. On awaking he asked for his
cap, and because it was not immediately forthcoming he
seized the complainant by the throat, and knocked her down
and jumped upon her, and then broke a chair over her. He
was armed with a large three pronged fork, and threatened
to kill her.

The prisoner, in defence, said he went to the complain-
ant's house drunk, and did not know what he was about.
Mr. Partridge asked if the prisoner was known ?
Stockley—l only know him as a coal-whipper.
Mr. Partridge said that this was the worst case of assault
he had ever known. The prisoner was a perfect savage,
and had committed a very brutal assault. The plea of
drunkenness was no excuse at all. He saw no reason to
treat the prisoner with leniency. Women, however bad
they were, were not to be ill used with impunity. He
sentenced the prisoner to be imprisoned for six months and
kept to hard labour.

DEATH OF THE REV. PROFESSOR THELIVALL.—
King's College, London, has to lament the loss of a
second prof( ssor—the Rev. Algernon Sydney Thelwall, lec-
turer in public reading and elocution, a tutor highly re-
spected and esteemed by the theological students of the col-
lege. Mr. Thelwall, who was 68 years old, had excused him-
self, on the plea of illness, from attending the funeral of his
friend, Professor M'Caul, but no one knew that his end
was so near. He was the son of the well-known " patriot,"
John Thelwall, who was tried in 1794 for high treason with
Horne Tooke and Hardy, and who afterwards became a
more successful elocutionist than he was a traitor.

THE ALHAMBRA,

An entire change of entertainment has taken place at
the Alhambra Palace, Leicester. square. In place of the
music platform we have now the circus, and on entering
the building the greatest astonishment is created at the
immense change in the appearance of the interior. With
respect to the capabilities of the Alhambra for equestrian
performances, there cannot be two opinions ; in fact, it
appears to have been specially constructed for that species
of entertainment, and, as at present arranged, it is un-
doubtedly one of the finest arenas in England. In
order to give his patrons the best talent avail-
able, Mr. Wilde has entered into an engagement
with Mons. Bastein Franconi, and the troupe now
in possession of the Alhambra is tha celebrated
one lately performing in Paris at the Cirque Impe-
riale, strengthened by Beyond artistes of European fame.
The " star " riders are M. and Mdme. Lagoutte, each of
whom astonish the audience with their flying feats of
equestrianism. Then we have the usual gay cavalcade of
ladies with their attendant knights, with glittering lance
and waving plumes—highly trained horses, that obey
orders with the greatest docility—and last, though not
least, a company of gymnasts of the highest excellence.
Mr. Bond is certainly one of the most astonishing
performers in this part of the entertainment, bat
our old friends, MM. Arthur and Bertrand, well
maintain the reputation they have acquired in the
metropolis by their peculiarly laughable antics. The
Brothers Lagoutte, Mariani, Messrs. Burnetti and Talliott,
and the Marvels of Peru, all contribute an exhibition of
their peculiarities, which, with the ever varying but ever
beautiful Fairy Fountain, make up an entertainment of
the most agreeable and attractive description.
The spacious building was filled to overflowing in, every
part, and from the satisfaction the performances gave last
evening, the exertions of Mr. Wilde will be amply repaid
by the vast audiences that will certainly be attracted to the
Alhambra during the holiday season of Christmas.

THE ALHAMBRA,

An entire change of entertainment has taken place at
the Alhambra Palace, Leicester. square. In place of the
music platform we have now the circus, and .on entering
the building the greatest astonishment is created at the
immense change in the appearance of the interior. With
respect to the capabilities of the Alhambra for equestrian
performances, there cannot be two opinions ; in fact, it
appears to have been specially constructed for that species
of entertainment, and, as at present arranged, it is un-
doubtedly one of the finest arenas in England. In
order to give his patrons the best talent avail-
able,
Mr. Wilde has entered into an engagement
with Mons. B tstein Feanconi, and the troupe now
in possession of the Alhambra is the celebrated
one lately performing in Paris at the Cirque Impe-
riale, strengthened by several artistes of European fame.
The " star " riders are M. and Mime. Lagoutte, each of
whom astonish the audience with their flying feats of
equestrianism. Then we have the usual gay cavalcade of
ladies with their attendant knights, with glittering lance
and waving plumes—highly trained horses, that obey
orders with the greatest docility—and last, though not
least, a company of gymnasts of the highest excellence.
Mr. Bond is certainly one of the most astonishing
performers in this part of the entertainment, bat
our old friends, MM. Arthur and Bertrand, well
maintain the reputation they have acquired in the
metropolis by their peculiarly laughable antics. The
Brothers Lagoutte, Mariani, Messrs. Burnetti and Talliott,
and the Marvels of Peru, all contribute an exhibition of
their peculiarities, which, with the ever varying but ever
beautiful Fairy Fountain, make up an entertainment of
the most agreeable and attractive description.
The spacious building was filled to overflowing in every
part, and from the satisfaction the performances gave last
evening, the exertions of Mr. Wilde will be amply repaid
by the vast audiences that will certainly be. attracted to the
Alhambra during the holiday season of Christmas.
