THE CAPE OF GOOD HOPE

PLYMOUTH, Nov. 30.
The overland mail brings intelligence from the
Cape of G )od Hope tea days later than that by the
General Screw Steam-ship Company's pa,:ket Cal-
cutta, which left the Cape September 23, and
arrived here on the 25th of October.
The Queen of the South, Captain Norman, which
left Plymouth on the 16th of August, reached St.
Vincent on the 29th, Ascension on the Bth of Sep-
tember, and, being retarded by strong south-
easterly winds, was compelled, although within 25
miles of Table-bay, on the 27th of Sept., to run
for Saldanha-bay, which she reached on the 28th.
Commander Corbett, the officer in charge of th(
mails, and Mr. Dickenson, the purser, went over-
land to Cape-town, where they arrived on the 19th
at 8 a.m., and despatched the Sir Robert Peel
steamer to the assistance of the Queen of the
South, which steamed into Table-bay on the Ist
of October.
The South African Commercial Advertiser of the
24th of September states that,—
"The colonial estimates presented to the Legislative
Council exhibit for 1854 a serious probable decrease of
revenue and increase of expenditure. The revenue is
estimated at 228,8111. 165., and the expenditure at
275,0911. 9s. 6d. Difference against the revenue,
46,279/. 15s. 6d.
"In former years the revenue received has generally
greatly exceeded the estimated revenue. In 1852, the
revenue received amounted to 281,1461. 16s. 3d„ ex-
ceeding the estimates by about a fourth of the whole.
But that year, and some others, brought into action
many temporary sources of revenue, on which it would
be imprudent to calculate for 1854. There is, therefore,
every chance of a deficient revenue for next year-- a
deficiency not likely to fall short of 40,0001. or 50,0001.
"In the course of the last 20 years the revenue and
expenditure have risen from about 130,0001. to 280,0001.,
without any considerable augmentation of existing taxes,
while some have been reduced or abolished. The in-
crease has arisen mainly Gem the growth of the colony,
and augmented consumption of articles taxed. The
chief augmentation was in the Customs in 1847. In
1846 the revenue from the Customs was 100,759/. ; in
1852 it was 143,9461., in 1841 it was only 48,0581.
"It is probable, therefore, that financiers will look
to this source, in the first instance, to make up the ap-
prehended deficiency for 1854. With the exception
of coffee, sugar, tea, rice, tobacco, and a few other
articles, the present duty is, on British goods 51., and on
foreign 121., for 1001. in value. Supposing the imports
that pay duty to be 1,200,0001., an average rise of about
4 per cent. on the whole would be required to meet the
deficiency."
Lieutenant-Governor Darling has sent the fol-
lowing answer to an address from the inhabitants
of Worcester :
" Government-house, Cape-town, Sept. 21.
" Gentlemen —I have had the pleasure to receive,
through Mr. Van Breda, your letter of the 14th inst.,
enclosing an address from the inhabitants of Worcester,
which had been prepared in anticipation of my visit to
that town on the recent occasion of proclaiming the road
through Bain's Kloof open for public use.
" I request you to assure the gentlemen who have
taken so much trouble to offer me a hearty welcome to
their town that I am deeply gratified by the assurance
their address conveys of their confidence in my desire to
discharge my duties with the single object of promoting
the true interests of the colony, and that I gratefully
acknowledge the sentiments, so flattering to myself per-
sonally, which they have been good enough to express.
" They may rest assured that the enlightened states-
men (to whatever political party they may belong) who
from time to time form the Ministry of England, well un-
derstand the difference between those temporary irrita-
tions and estrangements that occasionally arise in distant
colonies and that deep-rooted dislike to the dominion of
the parent State which can only be satisfied by a trans-
fer of allegiance.
"If the repeated assurances of her Majesty's subjects
in this colony of continental extraction, and the united
testimony (almost without exception) of all those who
have here represented the Crown of England, were not
sufficient to refute the imputation of disloyalty to which
political malice or intemperance may occasionally, and
perhaps heedlessly, give utterance, the argument ad-
duced in the address with which the inhabitants of
Worcester have honoured me might well be regarded as
conclusive. Why should discontent be alleged where
not a cause for discontent can any longer exist ? For
where, it may well be asked, upon the face of the earth,
is the power whose subjects enjoy so large a measure of
real protection of life and property, so much encourage-
ment to industry and enterprise, and such perfect liberty
of thought, speech, and action, as do the subjects of
Great Britain, in every spot throughout her wide-spread
dominions, where the principles of her wonderful con-
stitution have even been but partially established !
" These principles are about to be brought into ope-
tion in this colony upon a basis more popular than that
on which they rest in the mother country ; but when I
bear in mind the steady, reflecting, and God-fearing
character of the middle classes of the people, I feel every
confidence that the experiment could` nowhere be more
safely tried than among ourselves.
" Earnestly hoping that the inhabitants of the divi-
sion of Worcester may rapidly realise the advantages
which the completion of the Bain's-pass- -a work that
reflects everlasting credit upon all those who originated
it and have been instrumental in its completion--cannot
fail to confer—l have the honour to be gentlemen, your
very faithful servant,

" C. H. DARLINGI Lieutenant-Governor."
The Commercial Advertiser remarks hereon—
" In another coluumn will be found a good example
of the tone and temper of mind which governors and
people should cherish towards each other, in the reply
of the Lieutenant-Governor to the Worcester address.
Misunderstandings will occasionally arise in all commu-
nities ; but where there are good intentions, and no ma-
lice on either side, reconciliation is easy and becoming.
The colonists feel assured of the good intentions of her
Majesty's Government, and have taken every suitable
opportunity of expressing their sentiments with frank-
ness and sincerity. The small number of persons who
have been labouring for two or three years past to
awaken discord and sow dissensions have slunk from
view, and were scarcely worth a passing allusion by
either party."

FALLING HOUSES IN RUSSELL-COURT, DRIIRY-LANE.--•
The occupiers of the houses numbered 15, 16, and 20,
Russell-court, Drury-lane, having been greatly alarmed
by the sudden sinking of the walls and timbers of their
respective dwellings immediately vacated them ; and it
was found that their condition was so highly dangerous
that workmen are employed in shoring up the walls, and
securing the several floors by means of jack screws, until
the sbstructures are put into a state of stability.
FEARFUL COLLISION ON THE MANCHESTER, Salo"-
FIELD, AND LINCOLNSHIRE RAlLWAY.—Yeaterdaymorn -
mg a frightful accident occurred in the mail train on
the above-mentioned railway, which it is feared will be
attended with fatal results, as several of the passen-
gers have been seriously injured. The mail train
which leaves Hull for London left the New Holland
station in safety, and departed at its usual time for
London. Between Goshill station and New Holland
there is a siding, upon which a luggage train was
standing, and in consequence of the pointsman having
set the points wrong, the mail train which had
gathered a fair amount of speed, ran into the goods train
with such terrific violence that one of the first-class car-
riages was broken in two. The greatest alarm pre-
vailed, added to the din of the officials shouting, pa'
sengers screaming, and 'the wounded calling for help.
The steam was instantly shut off : and, on making
an inspection, it was ascertained that several of the
passengers had sustained severe fractures of their
limbs ; those were immediately removed to New 1191
land station, from whence they will be conveyed to.tti!
Hull Infirmary, and those who were but slightly bruredr.
continued their journey to London. The engine drile_
and stoker escaped narrowly with their lives.. Tea!
mail train was delayed about an hour, repairing dam
ges, and arrived in London 40 minutes behind its ti •

MAGAZINES FOR THE MONTH.

The Dublin University.—This is a very attractive
number of this magaaine ; there are a good many
interesting subjects treated of. In the " Portrait
Gallery" a brief memoir is given of Thomas Colley
Grattan, Esq., in which the vicissitudes of his
strange career are recapitulated. In conclusion, it
is observed that he is once more a free man, "as
free as he was in the days of his boyhood, when,
gun in hand, he walked the moors and hills of his
native Ireland." It is further said that he ought
to do something more for literature. It is true
that since the time he wrote a new style has sprung
up, but still the taste for the old has not passed
away. " But even were it otherwise, he has enough
of original genius to cut out for himself a new path,
and to achieve a new fame. Let him once more take
up his pen, and we dare be sworn many a friendly
critic will welcome him back among the brother-
hood of letters." The clever story of " Sir Jasper
Carew" is continued in two chapters, in which our
hero's fortunes are indeed fallen, for, in the first
one, called " The Gloomiest Passage of all," he is
put into prison, after having been nearly starved ;
and in the second, appropriately termed " The
Streets," he is reduced to the expedient of becom-
ing a crossing sweeper. Here, however, the good
luck which in some exalted stations had been de-
nied to him was his portion, and many a passer-
by was induced to sympathise with " Gentleman
Jack," as he was named by his new associates.
However, we are informed at the last portion of
the story that a change is about to take place, and
that his present place is to be relinquished.
"Some strange disturbances in an old house in
Aungier-street" is a very odd sketch, and the
reader is puzzled to make out at the end
whether he is to credit the apparition or not. Be
it true or false, notwithstanding the lodgers
are obliged to leave the house, which was a great
proof of its being inhabited by strange visitants,
especially as they were living in it rent free !
" The Cow Hunt," although from its appellation it
may appear a light or jocose tale, is on the whole
rather melancholy, but the little incident to which
it owes its name is ludicrous enough. Number 4 of
the " Portuguese Olive" describes the career of the
poet "Sade Miranda," whose course it is said
presents nothing of the romantic - he was only an
amiable and accomplished man of fetters, who loved
retirement, and his life was quiet and peaceful,
" clouded only at its close." The writer of this
paper expresses his opinion that Miranda received
higher honours than men of greater genius, his
talents being neither sublime nor brilliantly origi-
nal, but that his private excellence of character
was of great service to him ; besides, he flourished
at a time when Spanish and Portuguese poetry
were in infancy. A Second Flight, or a Visit
to Hobby Land" carries on the satirical sketch com-
menced last month, in which all the absurdities of
the day are shown forth. In the present division
the Peace Congress is met with. " A Peep at the
Dramatic Gallery of the Garrick Club" contains an
account of the way in which that valuable collec-
tion was formed. It was originally arranged by
the late Mr. Matthews. When he was compelled
by circumstances to part with them they were pur-
chased by the Garrick Club. The number amounts
o three hundred and eighty-eight, the cost origi-
nally approached to 5,0001., and a short notice is
given of the subjects found in the gallery, which is
interesting. In " Fireside Fancies" some agreea-
ble poems are found. The most meritorious is that
entitled " The Olden Time," in which the metre
is flowing, and the ide#s gracefully expressed :

140; 40

My blessing rest upon thee, thou merry olden time,
When the fairies were in fashion, and the world was in its

prime ;
Every ruin had its goblin, every green rath had its fay,
Till the light of Science chased them from their ancien
haunts away.

Oh, cruel race of stepmothers ! where are you vanished
now ?
Where are the henpecked husbands who before you used
to bow,
And yield their lovely daughters to glut your jealous ire,
Forgetful, 'mid your blandishments, of ev'n the name of
sire ?

Sweet beauteous persecuted tribe, princesses young and
fair,
With faces like a poet's dreams, and veils of flowing hair,
Beloved by vile enchanters, who turned to stone and wood,
The princes who to rescue you dared steel, and fire, and
flood.

Fierce cannibalish giants, who dwelt in forests wild,
And worn and weary wayfarers to clarksorne dens beguiled
Brave knights with charmed weapons, who laid the mon
stars low,
And opening wide the dungeon doors, bid cease the cap.
tive's woe.

Where are you all departed ?—where lie your treasures hid ?
Where are the pearls and emeralds that came when they
were bid ?
Where are the mines of gold and gems, that but to think
of now,
Dazzles our mental eyes with light—Old World, where
art thou ?

We want those endless riches, we want the magic spells,
That brought the fairies to your aid, from woods, and hills,
and wells ;
We've no enchanters nowaday, no cabalistic flames—
The world has lost them all, and keeps but their time-
honoured names.

481 - 491

Oh, could I find a magic wand, I'd bring those days again—
I'd call the treasures from the caves of earth and throbbing
main ;
The land should be a glorious land, as 'twas in ancient
time,
When the fairies were in fashion, and the world was in its
prime !

Colburn's United Service.—The United Service
Magazine opens this month with a paper on the
" Seat of War." It is followed by a chapter on
" Tactics," which gives some curious accounts of
different warlike manoeuvres, and their chances of
success and failure. A French account of " War
in China," has reached the last chapter, which tells
us of the blockade of the canals—the commence-
ment of the negotiations—the signing of the treaty
—and concludes with general considerations on the
opium war. A criticism of a French work recently
published, entitled " Military Portraits," gives
some interesting sketches of warriors :
"Gustavus Adolphus, to whom precedence is accorded,
receives from our author the tribute of praise justly due
to his renown. Called to the throne at the age of sixteen,
he early signalised himself by his military achievements,
and bore a distinguished part in the Thirty Years' War.
Far in advance of the age in which he lived, he effected
great improvements in the disposal and accoutrements of
his troops, and brought them to a perfect state of subor-
dination and discipline. Although rigorously severe,
he was yet careful for their health and comfort, and,
came to be regarded less as a king than as god.'

—7e The next on whom we dwell with pleasure, and
whose name was assuredly one of the most illustrious
that adorned the seventeenth century, is Turenne. His
long and brilliant career was marked, not only by
military glory, but by the most inestimable private vir-
tues. Placing his whole trust in Providence, he was, in
character, singularly unaffected, generous, and disinte-
rested, while his modesty became proverbial. Simple
and frugal in his private life, distinguished alike by his
love of truth and great humanity, he added to these
qualities undoubted courage, patience, and sagacity.
The entire army regarded him with the deepest affection
and mourned for him as for a kind father. The character
of Turenne has been happily summed up by Montes-
quieu in a single line : His life was an hymn in praise
of humanity. "

The journals of " The Late Major Maeready" and
" Fitz Gubin," are both continued, and are followed
by articles on " The Individual Organisation of
Prussian Regiments," and " The Military Schools
and Colleges in France." "A Narrative of Border
Warfare" contains murders and deeds of vengeance
in the usual border fashion.

Colburn's New Monthly.—The first article is on
the "War in the East," and the author is certainly
a most determined enemy to the Sultan, and, what
is more uncommon, a determined admirer of Lord
Aberdeen. Ile commences by informing us—" It

,/i2O,

is impossible not to allow that the policy of Great
Britain in the present crisis in the east, so far as it
has yet gone, has been simple and straightforward ;"
and, subsequently, that " the Aberdeen policy,
reviled as it has been, is the only just and true
one." This writer's logic is somewhat curious. Be-
cause " we cannot drive the Russians out of Poland
—the Austrians out of Cracow, Milan, and Venice
—the Prussians out of Posen" —he considers it
useless to prevent the Czar from seizing Turkey,
and defends the aggressor by accusing the aggressed.
If the only claim upon allies was the perfection of
the Government, or the faultlessness of the nation,
this argument would be unanswerable. At present
it is not very clear that, because we have " in-
stances of tyranny and extortion on the part of
Turkish officials," we are to allow a country, equally
celebrated for tyranny, to break the faith of treaties.
Alluding to the downfal of Mahemedanism, he
says—" And what a blessing it would be ! In half
a century we should have open roads t• Calcutta,
perhaps to Pekin, and the seeds would be sown for
the revival of the great nations of antiquity"—and
for the downfal of the great nations of the present
day, very probably. Doubtless the projected roads
would be for the march of the Russian armies to
share with us the sovereignty of Hindostan ! This
article, which is the most considerable, is followed by
two tales of German origin, with the appropriate
titles of " The White Lady," and " Pale Sophie.
They are characteristic tales, interesting and me-
lancholy, with a little of the horrible in each.
N. P. Willis occupies the ninth number of
" American Authorship." The author of " The
Unholy Wish " contributes a story of ancient
times, called " The Lady's Well," in which
the heroine, Lady Ellana, the daughter of the
Baroness of Chillingwater (whose name was
ominous), married two brothers, and, when disco-
vered, by the inopportune return of the first from
the Crusades, drowned herself in " The Lady's
Well." " Gossip from Florence" is a lively letter,
sketching the " City of Flowers" and its inhabi-
, tants. No. 111. of "Tales of my Dragoman" tells
' us the history of " How Muftifiz rose to greatness,"
one of the always amusing oriental tales of brooches
lost, plots found out, viziers beheaded, and injured
innocence promoted. The present number of
" Literary Leaflets" consists of a criticism on Mrs.
Jameson, and does full justice to the popular
author of the " Characteristics of Women."
" Chronicles of a Country. Town" is continued, and
many events take place in this instalment—an
elopement, an accession of fortune, and a ship-
wreck among them. A singular little ballad, called
" The Elf King's Bride," is translated by the inde-
fatigable Mrs. Bushbyfrom the Danish of Hans
Christian Andersen. " The Epilogue of 1853"
concludes by informing the readers of the New
Monthly that the present number completes the
99th volume.

with the belligerents. He would rejoice in the
opportunity of learning thus not alone vague gene-
ralities, characterised by a sort of grey uniformity,
but of becoming acquainted with details and minute
incidents, colouring the scene into the ken of more
glowing and more vivid appreciation. He would
perceive something more of the momentous reality
than that implied in the fantastic phrase of a recent
dreamer—

Instead of this, instead of discerning only the out-
line of column and platoon, or the feathering mists
thrown up by the discharge of ordnance and mus-
ketry—he would obtain a glimpse of personal acts
of heroism, he would catch gleams of the broken
sword or the blood-stained cuirass, he would ob-
serve as it were upon the scroll of history not
merely a diagram of the situation of the opposing
armies, but an animated profusion of illustrations,
a vignette of the drummer-boy, and a silhouette of
the commander-in-chief. So is it with this con-
tinuation of the " History of Eiirope," by
Alison—annals extending from 1815 to 1852, from
the fall of the first to the accession of the Third
Napoleon. Immediately upon the appearance of
the initial volume of his novel and daring narra-
tive, we took occasion to commend the skill with
which its author had acquitted himself of so many
embarrassing responsibilities. The ability displayed
in this respect by Sir A. Alison from the very
commencement of his enterprise is yet more con-
spicuously revealed, now that we can watch the
course of its development. Naturally enough, as
already intimated, the work is coloured here and
there by its author's personal partialities and poli-
tical predilections. These, however, the intelli-
gent reader can pass over at their right valua-
tion, grateful for the industry which has gone
in search of so many curious and valuable
particulars, by the aid of which each one individu-
ally may estimate the progress made by the re-
spective races of Christendom in the onward march
of civilisation.
As indicative of the interest comprised in the
volume before us, several of the more memorable
incidents therein recounted may be here not in-
aptly enumerated. . . Turning over the
chapter devoted to the record of events in Russia
and Poland during the ten years which elapsed be-
tween 1815 and 1825, we receive from the hand
of Alison an account of the last illness, the
death, and the funeral of Alexander,. We
watch the rise and fall of the enormous re-
volt consequent upon his disappearance. We
recognise the heroic bearing of Nicholas at
the period of his accession. Nay, with all the
wrath inspired at this moment by the flagitious
policy of that most ambitious and audacious poten-
tate, we cannot but accord to him the admiration
which is his due for the conduct displayed by him
immediately on his elevation to the throne of that
terrible and colossal autocracy. The description
given by Sir A. Alison of the character and even of
the personal appearance of the Emperor Nicholas
must be accepted, of course, as favourable over-
much. Yet while we cannot close our eyes to the
exceeding partiality of the writer, we cannot
allow our own lack of sympathy with the Czar
to blind us to the truth of one notable
part of his delineation. " Exemplary," says our
author, when speaking of the Emperor Nicholas,
" exemplary in all the relations of private life, a
faithful husband, an affectionate father, he has ex-
hibited in a brilliant court, and when sur-
rounded by every temptation which life can
offer, the simplicity and affections of patriarchal
life." We must perforce admit the justice of
the panegyric. Turning from Russia to Eng-
land, the reader will find in this second volume
matter for eager perusal in the picturesque descrip-
tions of the Cato Conspiracy, contrived by the
butcher Ings, and the firebrand Thistlewood
—of the trial and troubles of Queen Caroline—of
the bloodshed at Peterloo—.and, besides many other
enthralling topics, of the demise and character of
the Marquis of Londonderry-, better known as the
celebrated Viscount Castlereagh. The account
given by Alison in chapter ix. of the death and
captivity of Napoleon though, of course, from the
very nature of the subject, fraught with an irresis-
tible fascination, is, everything considered, one of
the least satisfactory portions of his chequered and
picturesque narrative. The annalist still pertina-
ciously closes his eyes to the fact that Napoleon
broke the treaty of Fontainhleau only after it
had been broken by the Allied Sovereigns. He re-
ports the old story that the hero's last words were—
" We & armee," when the last syllables that fell
from his lips were " Josephine," according to the
evidence of the faithful soldier who closed his eyes,
the late General Count Montholon. Nay, Sir
Archibald in this division of his labour as an his-
torian appears to flaw his text with a series of
curious contradictions. He condemns Napoleon,
for inasmuch as (ch. ix. p. 365) he allowed his
serenity to be disturbed by his being addressed
with the title of General, as if that were of no sort
of importance whatsovcr—yet a little later on
(ibid. p. 371) he asks "where was the necessity of
refusing him the title of Emperor ?" Again, he
speaks of (p. 371) " the littleness evinced by the
English Government" in refusing even certain
" slight gratifications to the fallen hero"—although
in a previous sentence he has spoken of the con.
duct of that Government towards Napoleon (pa,
367) as " highly liberal and considerate !" No—.
talk as Sir A. Alison may about full justice having
at length been done to the Captive of St. Helena
—it has yet to be infused into the annals penned
by Englishmen. Candour, at least, may neverthe-
less be displayed amongst us in his regard, though
we may never hope to see that dark and
sinister blot ever obliterated from our national
escutcheon. Enough, however, upon this par-
ticular—a matter to us always of painful
and lamentable retrospection. Enough, more-
over, in reference to the volume under review
in the way of minute carping or detailed emenda-
tion. Although flawed in a variety of directions
from the haste with which its materials have been
compacted together, the historical work submitted
to our criticism must be welcomed as a marvel of
facile ingenuity and of rapid ei ab oration—a mas-
terly evidence of its author's industry, courage, and
perseverance.

" Tiny Waterloo,
Ante red and blue."

Ainsworth's Magazine.—" Nicholas Flame'," by
the author of " The Confederates," has reached the
twenty-fifth chapter. Coming sorrows are darkly
foretold. " A Diary Round Mont Blanc" describes
a journey in Switzerland. The curious tale of "Is
he a Doctor ?" is continued. " The Queen's Letter"
finishes tragically, as all tales of the French Revo-
lution are expected to do. " Incidents of a Sea
Voyage," and " Tales of the Backwoods," are inte-
resting to the lovers of adventure, though the conclud-
ing scene of the latter is very painful. There is a
lively paper on the " Choregraphic Art in England."
The verses by J. E. Carpenter are not equal to this
author's former productions, having nothing to
distinguish them from the melodious and compara-
tively meaningless words usually written for music.
" The Seven Ages of Poverty and Crime in the
Nineteenth Century" is a sketch unhappily too
much like reality of the desperate consequences of
neglect and bad education. The number is con-
cluded by " A Strange Story," from the German of
L. Kalisch.

The Gentleman's ' Magazine and Historical Re-
view.—There is an interesting account of "Philip
the Second and Antonio Perez " met with here.
The details of their mutual treachery is exceedingly
complicated, but at last the king resolved on the
death of his secretary. The latter had proofs of
the monarch's connivance in murders recently per-
petrated, and cunningly contrived to secrete them,
so that when all was deemed safe by the king he
brought them to light, and thus injured Philip's
reputation considerably. In revenge Philip con-
, signed him to the mercies of the Inquisition, hut
the nobles and people rescued him and he escaped.
He did not prosper however. He made friends only
to lose them, and at last the favourite of courtly
saloons, and the confidential adviser of sovereigns,
expired in the lowest poverty. On the death of
Philip, p some years before, "the genius of the
artists of Spain, the wealth of the clergy, and
the resources of the state, were exhausted in the
sumptuous solemnities of his funeral. But, amid the
pomp which veiled the corruption of the tomb,
the blaze of light, the swell of organs, and the
solemn requiem, there arose the thought of the
atroohioo of Alba, of the fires of the Inquisition, of
liberty destroyed, of the murder of Escovedo, and
the torture of Perez ; and this man, splendid in
ashes and pompous in the grave,' was interred be-
neath a condemnation which God has pronounced,
and before which all living flesh must tremble."
" Notes on Medit-eval Art in France" is continued,
and takes in its category Nancy, Chalons, Troyes,
Paris, Beauvais, and Amiens. Of Paris it is said
that there are too many attractive objects to discuss
them all, but Notre Dame is mentioned in terms of
praise. It is remarkable " for its historical remi-
niscences, as well as its architectural features." The
church of St. Eustache is one noticed as being pe-
culiar--" It is neither medieval, nor classic, nor
cinque cento, but characteristic of all three." The
church is being decorated, but it is observed that
there is a tendency in French work to overdo, which
produces a gaudy instead of a rich effect. "Memo-
randa on Mexico" is the first subject in this num-
ber. After some account of the struggles that
country has undergone, it is declared that it will
not prosper till the whole of the provinces shall
have followed the example of Texas, and become
annexed to the Anglo-Saxon race. "Hitherto
Mexico has been favoured by Nature and abused
by man, but the time is at hand when man will .
second nature, and inaugurate a new era in ancient
Tenochtitlan."

The History of Europe : from the Fall of Napoleon
in 1815 to the Accession of Louis Napoleon in
1852. Vol. 11. By Sir Archibald Alison, Bart.
Blackwood.
In continuation of his laborious enterprise, the
most industrious of living annalists has here
brought down his luminous and voluminous history
of Europe to 1825, to the downfall of Riego in
Spain, to the triumph of Pepe in Naples, to the
suppression of revolt in Russia, to thereactio,nticif
Royalism in France, to the riots in England
insurrection in Scotland, and the arian dise-
turbances in Ireland—a memorableinterval com-
prising occurrences no less important than the
death of Napoleon and the accession of Nicholas,
Queen Caroline's trial and George IV.'s Corona-
tion. It is surprising with what remarkable facility
here
Sir Archibald Alison hasgrouped together
facts hitherto so widely scattered. The difficulty at-
tendant upon the narrative of n we all know is
in a great measure proportion?

would say that it were easier to write an account
of the Heptarchy than a record of the last political
movement. In the former instance fewer autho-
rities have to be

generations, their statements have been contrasted
with each other, the light their evidencenlefocus, has
been accumulated, as li
it ht
were,
and brought tobear upon the to a single
required epoch
by
the aid of adroit collation and ingenious commen-
tary. In the latter instance, however, it is alto-
gether different —in the instance, say, of some
recent revolution. There the data have to
be collected together—and collected from what
sources, from sources how numerous, how
questionable, how widely separated ! From files
of newspapers, from volumes of official gazettes,
from cartloads of pamphlets, and memoirs, and
diaries, and orations, and miscellaneous correspon-
dence—from bulletins hotly despatched from the
field of battle, from state papers coldly issued from
the cabinet of statesmen, from the flattery of the
adulator, and the misrepresentation of the satirist,
from the fury of personality, and the enthusiasm of
partisanship, and the din of faction, and the clouds
of prejudice—from the discussions of Journalism
and the debates of Parliament. It is from sources
as bewildering and multifarious as those here enu-
merated that the modern annalist has to derive his
data when he adventures upon the task of describing
occurrences which are very nearly contemporaneous.
To look for perfect impartiality in any historian
thus situated would be as irrational as it would
be to expect coolness in an observer of some
mighty struggle, standing in the midst of the noise
and the smoke, and the carnage of a cannonade.
The annalist must regard events from a reasonable
distance if he hope to acquire the merit
of impar-
tiality, just as the spectator of a battle
should be
situated out of reach of what Schiller finely calls—
" The wild grim dice of the iron game,"
if he aspire to watch the fluctuations of the con-
test with anything at all resembling the coolness of
sell-possession. evertheless, be it remembered
there are other advantages to be desired besides
those of imperturbable sedateness, or of cold-blooded
indifference. Every individual interested in a war-
like conflict, would, of course, listen eagerly to one
talking of the fight, who had watched it not from
the dim mountain top, but in immediate proximity I

THE MILITARY AT BLACKBURN.—It appears that the
Secretary of State for the Home Department has
promptly complied with the request of the authorities of
Blackburn to have a military force stationed there
during the turn-outs, and on Monday a company of the
34th Regiment from Preston marched into the borough,
and have taken up their quarters there.
HOUSE FALLING.--THE LATE APPALLING ACCIDENT
AT PLYMOUTH.—Since our last we learn that one of the
persons injured, a young man, underwent the process of
amputation of the leg, on Sunday last, in the South
Devon Hospital. The operation was found necessary
from the crushed state of the limb. The buildings in
White-lane, adjacent to those removed by Mr. King, in
Southside-street, were pronounced dangerous by the
surveyor, on Friday and Saturday, and were vacated
immediately. On Sunday the east end fell down, and
the residue became precarious, although secured some-
what by props and other appliances.—Plymouth Mail of

FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT LIVERPOOL.—On
Monday night, at half-past eleven o'clock, a dreadful
accident occurred at the Great Howard-street station of
the East Lancashire Railway, which resulted in the
death of the guard of the train, named William Parker,
and a female passenger, named Nurst, residing at Liver-
pool. it appears that the deceased had both arrived at
Ormskirk, and that the engine, after being disengaged

struggle with the millowners, and to consider the
question of inaugurating a trades Parliament ; Mr.
J. Campbell, a working man in the chair. Mr.
Finlen moved the following resolution : " That
this meeting, after witnessing the numerous failures
that have been too consequent upon sectional and
isolated struggles of the people to maintain a proper
scale of wages, and to achieve the emancipation of
labour, is of opinion that the time is now arrived when
a united mass movement of the working classes, based
upon a national organisation, and guided by one direct-
ing body, can alone assure adequate support to the men
now locked out of employment and on strike, and enable
working men, for the future, to free labour from the
thraldom of capital." Mr. J. B. O'Brien seconded the
resolution, observing, however, that, if fully carried out,
it could not do justice to the working classes. Even
the masters themselves, under the present competitive
system, however well inclined, could not do anything
like justice to the working classes. (Hear, hear.) Still
he would like to see a labour parliament tried, as a great
deal of good might be the result. The resolution was
then agreed to, as was also a resolution in support of a
labour parliament, similar to that recently resolved upon
by a Manchester meeting.
