HER MAJESTY'S STAG-HOUNDS.

This gallant pack met for the last time this season
at Knaphill on Friday last, a wild forest country,
varied by enclosures of grass land, which was in
first-rate order for galloping over. The first part of
the run was over the forest, passing Bisley into
the Chobham meadows, then to Windlesham, and
through Brigshot Park towards Swinley, then to
Southill Park and Bracknell, when the deer St.
George was taken at the Station in an hour and a
quarter, under a burning sun. Thus ended a first-
rate season; and, what is remarkable, missing only
one day from frost. On Tuesday last the meet was
at Bray-wick : a select field assembled, and enjoyed
a very pretty run of an hour, going away over the
Bray drainage to Heywood Park, and to the right,
crossing the end of the thicket at a merry pace, and
on to Cookham Dean, towards Marlow, and was
taken between there and Cookham. The heat was
great, and a second deer was not :required.
Mr. Grath's foxhounds closed their season also on
Friday, when the meet was at Virginia Water, end
drew unsuccessfully the Belvidere Grounds, Round
Copse, and Windsor Forest, but succeeded in finding
in the grounds of Sir John Walsh, and, after a share
and hot run, killed at Swinley, thus finishing a
capital season.

THE LATE CARDINAL BARBERINI.—T,4 is Cardinals
who was created by Pope Leo XII., was one of the
inn
princes of the Church. He had resigned his share
in the family patrimony to his brother, Prince Barberini,
on condition of being maintained for his life with the deco•
rum due to his rank. But he reserved to himself his piatto
as cardinal of 4,000 scudi a year, his prelatura of 12,000
scudi, his deanery of St. John Lateran of about 2,000 scudi,
his prefecture of the Congregation of Briefs, worth about
3,000 scudi, arc] other sources of ecclesiastical income,
amounting altogether to about 22,000 scudi a year, all of
which be is now said to have been in the habit of giving
in alms to poor but deserving persons, his own exp.mses
being defrayed, as mentioned above, by his brother, His
private memoranda, and the fact of his having left no per.
sonal property whatever, lead to the conviction that for many
years his income was entirely devoted to charitable purposes,

It is currently reported in Court circles that the
Prince and Princess of Wales will, er© long, re-
move from Marlborough House to Kensington Palace, and
there can be no doubt that, with a judicious outlay of
money, which might be carried on annually, Kensington
could be made one of the finest Royal domains in the
United Kingdom. It is quiet ; in a good air ; and, though
it is a palace, no tragical history is connected with it—all
of which considerations give it a sort of homely-fireside
character, which eeem to represent the domestic side of
Royalty itself, and thus render an interesting service to
what is not always so well recommended by cost and splen-
dour.—Court Journal.

FUNERAL OF SIR GEORGE COR:I;EWALL LEWIS.—
The remains of the lamented statesman were on
Saturday consigned to their final resting-place among the
tombs of his fathers at Old Radnor. The funeral was as
unostentatious in character as was the public and private
life of the deceased s atesman, and had this peculiarity, that
all who attended appeared as mourners. Among them were
the Earl of Clarendon, Earl Russell, Earl de Grey and
Ripon, the Right Hon. C, Pelham Villiers, Mr. Vernon
Harcourt, Mr. Lister, Sir Velters Cornewall, Sir Gilbert
Lewis, and Mr. Herbert Lewis. About 100 horsemen pre-
ceded the hearse containing the body of the deceased, fol-
lowed by his carriage and those of the distinguished
mourners and the gentry of the neighbourhood. The coffin
was of massive oak, enclosing a shell, and covered with
black cloth, having a brass plate thereon with the follow-
ing inscription :—" The Right Hon, Sir George C. Lewis,
Bart.,:died April 13, 1863, aged 57 , years." The deceased
baronet was, however, eight days under that age. The im••
mense concourse of people present testified by their de-
meanour that their regret for the loss of this estimable
statesman was universal and sincere. No landlord was
ever more liberal to his tenants than Sir George, and his
benefactions to the neighbourhood were something fabulous,
considering his means. Business was suspended in Here-
ford, Kington, Knighton, Presteign, Radnor, and other
towns during the early part of Saturday.

DEATH OF MR. APSLEY PELLATT.--Mr. Apsley
Pellatt died at the residence of his brother-in-law,
Mr. Field, at Balham-hill, near Croydon, at a late hour on
Friday night. The deceased was for several years the mem-
ber for the borough of Southwark in the House of Com
mons as the colleague of the late Admiral Sir Chas. Napier.
He was defeated by Mr. Locke, Q.C., the present member.
During the period that Mr. Apsley Pellatt represented the
borough he was a staunch supporter of the Liberal party.
He was in his 72d year. . _

THE THRONE OF GREECE.—A letter from the
Piraeus of the 11th inst. states that the commission-
ers appointed to proceed to Copenhagen to offer the crown
of Greece to the Danish Prince are—Admiral Canaria, De-
metrius Grivas, the hero of the insurrection at Nauplia, and
Zainio, son of a celebrated statesman, President of the Pro-
visional Government in 1826, and possessing great influence
in the Peloponessus. The commissioners left that day for
Trieste. The writer adds that the entire produce of the
customs, since the departure of the King, has been absorbed
by the army, and that if the new King does not bring with
him an auxiiiary force of 2,500 men, he cannot depend on
the existing army to obey him any more than they obeyed
the Provisional clovernment.

LITERATURE.

Life among Convicts. By Charles B. Gibson,
M.R.1.A., Chaplain in the Convict Service. 2

vols. Hurst and Blackett.

This work appears at a very opportune moment.
The treatment of our convicts now occupies a large
share of the public attention, and all concerned in
that momentous question may peruse with interest
and ponder over with benefit the very valuable in-
formation and the very useful suggestions laid
before them by Mr. Gibson. Many will differ from
the author's opinions. For that he is of course pre
pared. The convict system is one of the " open
questions" of the day, but all his readers, or we are
very much mistaken, will be delighted with the
book and with its author. Throughout we feel that
we are listening to a philanthropist and to a gentle-
man, and when we differ from him we do so with
respect. A store of information of most varied cha-
racter is collected in these two volumes, and this
information is conveyed in the most pleasant and
lucid manner possible, mingled with sketches, anec-
dotes, and descriptions of men and manners. For
this style of narrative Mr. Gibson is happily quali-
fied. He is gifted with keen powers of perception
and with a quiet appreciation of the humorous. In
proof of which we may adduce the following de-
scription—a description which affords a brief sum-
mary of the peculiarities of the Irish system :
" Whose farm is that, sir " inquired a poor hind, as he
looked on a number of convicts at work on Lusk Com-
mon.

" That farm belongs to the Queen," was the reply.
"Blood-a-nagers, de ye tell me so—though I thought it
something uncommon. The men looked so well-dressed. I
wonder is these their Sunday clothes ?"
o, they wear these clothes every day."
" They must get good wages."
" Board, lodging, and clothes, and half-a-crown a week
for pocket money."

" Very good, upon my conscience. Now would it be hard
to get a week's work there r
"Not without cinalifying.',
" Wbat's that ?"
" Did you ever steal a sheep ?"
" God forbid 1"
"Nor a cow, nor a horse ?"
"Neither one nor the other."
"Nor rob a gentleman's house at night ?"
" Do you take me for a thief or robber ?"
" For neither; but you must do something of that kind
be 'ore you can get employment on that farm."
'You are a quare gentleman," said the hind, scratching
his head.

" But lam in earnest, man. The well-dressed labourers
you see on that common are thieves, housebreakers, and
pickpockets

" Are you in earnest, sir ? Sure if that was known,
they'd be put in prison."
" That's a prison."
"Is it the open common ? Ayeh, don't be making a
fool of me."

"I give you my honour that these men are prisoners—
not yet discharged, though near it."
"Then, be japers, there is sense in what you say about
staling a sheep"—walking off with a new idea in his
head.

" Come back here, my good fellow."
" Well, sir ?"
" I told you you would hava to qualify to get in
there."

"Yes, be staling a sheep, or a cce7, or a horse, or break-
ing into a gintleman's house."
"Yes, but there is another qualification."
"What's that ?''
"You must first b', confined in a solitary cell, for nine
months, in a prison they call Mountjoy."
" illountjoy! Ayeh."
"And then sent to Spike."
" Spike ! What's that ?"
"You would not like to be spiked. Eh ?
"What is it, sir?"
" A desolate i-land, near Cork, where you will work under
a truck like a jackass. Sq if you should ever think of steal-
ing, you must not say that 1 deceivod you."
" I'm obleged to you, sir," said the poor hind, touching his
old caubeen, and walking off muttering, " Honesty is best
after all."

But he did not learn this lesson at Lusk, but from the
bird's-eye view he got of the prisons of blountjoy and
Spike Island.

When alluding to the comparative number of
convicts in England and Ireland, Mr. Gibson re-
marks that " England is half a century before Ire-
land in the social development of many of the arts
and sciences. My modesty, as an Irishman, induces
me to concede her the palm in highway robbery,
burglary, and even in the minor department of
picking pockets." But then he ingenuously adds
that " Ireland is a poor country, and does not pre-
sent to thieves and pickpockets the same scope for
the exercise of their profession." In Eng-
land there are ten Convict Prisons, male
and female, including the juvenile prison of
Parkhurst. In Ireland there are four male
Convict Prisons and one female. In both systems the
prisoners begin with eight or nine months' cellular
and separate confinement, in England, at Penton-
ville or Millbank ; in Ireland, at Mounljoy, on the
Circular Road, Dublin. They are then sent to the
Public Works' Prisons, at Chatham or Portland in
England, or at Spike Island in Ireland. In Eng-
land, when the term of sentence has expired, or
been diminished by a ticket of leave, the convict is
set at liberty. In Ireland, he goes to the interme-
diate prison of Lusk. Here the prisoners work on
the common, like agriculturists on 4 farm, as de-
scribed above, and are under police surveillance.
This intermediate prison constitutes the main diffe-
rence between the English and Irish systems, and
"is just now," says Mr. Gibson, "in high feather
with the public." Although connected with the
Irish system himself, the rev. gentleman does not
approve of the intermediate prison. " We do not ad-
mire these appendages to the English system," he
says; " we prefer the simpler machinery of Sir
Joshua Sehb ; but as Sir Waiter Crofton asserts he
can produce a finer article by the operation of his
intermediate prison and police surveillance, the
public will judge of the merits of the systems by
their results." To police surveillance Mr. Gibson
objects that it is " un-English," and quotes from a
writer in Blackwood, who exclaims, "Let the thing
called police surveillance continue to be so strange
to us that we use a foreign word when we speak of
it." In discussing weighty matters of this kind, it
does not do to be alarmed by epithets, however
opprobrius. Do we not all of us live under the pro-
tecting influence of police surveillance ? Should we
any of us, even including the writer in Blackwood,
sleep more soundly in our beds if the surveillance
of the police were abolished for a single hour ? In
like manner we have been told that the Ballot is
un-English, to which we inquire, by way of reply,
if corruption and bribery are English ?
Let it be asserted that police surveil
lance is un-English, what then is garotting ? A
French lady hearing au English friend lament that
the word ennui did not occur in the national
vocabulary, exclaimed, with a commiserating shrug
—" What does that signify, as you have the thing!"
" PuiEue vous acez la chose !" The English or
un-English signification of mere words is imma-
terial. We must look to facts, and only expo
rience can enable us to arrive at a wise decision.
The case is one of great difficulty. Mr. Gibson
reminds us that intermediate prisons and the cols
nial arrangement of police supervision have not
answered. He recommends as the Lappiest solution
for the difficulty the emigration of the liberated
convict. In a new world, with his former tempta-
tions removed, and free from the stigma which at
home would for ever cling to him, the chances are
certainly in favour of the redemption of the criminal.
As a free emigrant, he is in a very different posi-
tion to that of a transported felon, and if it is
" never toe late to mend," in a new country he
may become a new man again. If it be a risk,
even there, what must it be in the old work,
The interests of the individual criminal are of
tittle importance, as compared to the interests of
society, but in this case those interests are iden-
tical—the reformation of the one and the pre
servation of the many may be thus simultaneously
ersared. In alluding to the recent panic in the
public mind in constquence of the garotters, Mr
Gibson wisely remarks—" It is not necessary, for
the safety of the ship, to throw John Howard
overboard ; and I venture to predict that the Eng-
nation will never do it." Among the miscel-
!aneous matters of interest introduced in the
course of these volumes is an account of the
trial of Kirwan for the murder of his wife, and
'a very interesting extract from the prison jour-

nal of John Mitehell, the Irish rebel, describing
his arrival at Bermuda and subsequent adventures.

Two Menthe in the Confederate States. By an
English Merchant. pp. 299. Richard Bentley.

Another moat opportune peep into the Confede-
rate States is here afforded to all of us stay-at-
homes, through the keen eyes of this observant
Englishman. The work, it will be seen by its
very title, appears anonymously. Whoever the
merchant may be, we know not. That he is a travel-
ler without prejudice the volume before us attests.
When, however. we have said that he is throughout
consistently and quite unmistakeably an English-
man, we have virtually hinted that his " pro-
clivities" trend towards the South, rather
than towards the North ; that the Federals are akin
to him in all except their antagonism to slavery ;
and that even in regard to that reputed antagonism
to slavery he can find nothing to awaken his
sympathies in the manner of its manifestation. It
would be hardly extravagant to assert, indeed, that
if any one thing has tended, more directly than
another, to alienate England from the Government
at Washington, it has been the incident for ever
painfully associated with the Ist of January:
that namely by which Mr. Lincoln, almost
one might say infamously, certainly very
meanly pronounced in favour of Emancipation
as to render that movement very like a direct signal
for a servile war. The manner, the purport, the
drift of that Proclamation of the President's upon
New Year's Day, can never be remembered without
a feeling very nearly akin to that of scorn, by all
except those who are fairly infatuated in regard to
the North and everything relating to the Nor-
thern Government. Mr. Bright, Mr. Thomas
Hughes, and a few others who think with
them, have stood all (along as they stand
at this moment) isolated among the mass of their
fellow-countrymen—the latter looking with disdain
upon the anti-slavery policy, tardily revealed by the
Cabinet at Washington, and with abhorrence upon
the more conspicuous creatures put forth as the
champions of that degraded cause since the out•
break of this dreadful civil war : men like General
Butler and the Rev. Mr. Beecher, and persons of
that ruthless and fanatical stamp. S stting forth upon
his travels early in last October, the writer left Neil
York for New Orleans on board the Marion, and, in
point of fact, his book will be found toconsist chiefly
of a record of his notes while sojourning at NeW
Orleans during its ruthless and execrable domination
under Gen. Butler aforesaid. Scarcely has the steam
ship drawn alongside the Quay at New Orleans,
when the English Merchant who is aboard of her,
" taking notes," finds himself jostled in the crowd
hurrying from shore along the gangway, by a Fede-
ral officer in undress. " This Federal officer," be
adds, " I found, was no less a personage than
General Butler himself, who had come from his
office (where he was usually to be found as soon as
day dawned, and often sooner) to meet his wife,
ho, it seemed, had been our fellow-passengert
t hough very few of us knew it. He seemed a spare
man, of middle height, quick and nervous in his
movements, and, at a glance, very much more like
a lawyer than a soldier. His face is distinguished
by nothing more unusual than what the boys called
a 'cook' eye; and with its thin compressed lips,
livid compiexion, almost, if not entire, absence of
beard, moustache, or whisker, and thin grey
hair thrown back over his ears, impressed
me simply as the face of a restless, earnest,
decided, and possibly abrupt man ; bat with n°
special bias towards, nor familiarity with, evil,
rather than as that of the mile], cunning, unprir
cipled scoundrel which, by common consent, se
many millions of people believe him to be.
could not help looking almost with pity on that
one unarmed man, for whose blood a whole nation
was thirsting; who is never spoken of by half his
own countrymen but as the beast ; who is pro'
bably hated more intensely than any other living
man, and by more people; and against Who
dying quietly in his own bed there are so many
told chances." Later on, he says, very forcibly,
and we believe quite accurately, that he himself is
perfectly well satisfied " that General Butler's
conduct has by intensifying the feeling of
the Confederates, been as good as 50,000 adds'
tional troops arrayed against the Union cause.
When he has advanced as far as Richmond, in his
travels southward, the writer, having occasion to
speak of a very different personage indeed, to Wit'
President Jefferson Davis, opens his remarks
upon that eminent personage in the manner fel:
lowing :—" Beyond any doubt," he says, "President
Davis sways at this moment a more unquestioned
and absolute power than any other ruler in the
civilized world; and it is to his honour, that no
publ;c act can thus far be pointed at, which he:
had any other than a national object, to be gained
at the least possible cost of liberty, treasure, an ,
blood. Whatever the enemies of the leaders
this rebellion can say against their acts up to
the time when Secession occurred, it is wide'
niable that since that time their conduct hen
been disinterested, pure, and self-devoted.

a ready and facile pencil, by the English Memnon'

course, almost we might say of necessity, General
