absence of those poets, humorists, and writers who
knew and were known to Hood, who valued his genius,
and whose friendship he valued, from his grave-side is
to be interpreted as a slight to the poet's memory. Our
contemporary has not taken pains to be well informed.
A. little inquiry among the subscribers will show
Hood him
that Literature has had nothing to do with 's
Monument—except to pay for it."
It will be remarked that, at the very outset,
, the A thence um says, " A passing ceremonial was
got up by those who have mismanaged the mat-
ter." How ? "Mismanaged ?" So " mis-
managed the matter," in truth, that the testimo-
nial is completed—the object of the whole move-
ment is actually accomplished. So "mismanaged the
matter," that where there was only a poor neglected
grave, there is now a beautiful and picturesque
monument. The sneers by which this absurd
allilsion to the mismanagement of a matter that
i has pro-ved from first to last brilliantly success-
fuli--are folowed, are altogether too manifestly
spiteful and
Aivolous to deserve even the most
cursory consideraijon. It may not be advisa-
ble, however, to pass over the closing sentence

observation, seeing that "a little inquiry "
show that the individual, so many years. Editor
of the Athenaum, has been about the
only one among the subscribers to the
HOOD Monument who has never paid iirb the small

in fine, the sneer at the mismanagement of the

from z-,kri organ that furnishes the list of sub-
scribers to the fund, with the name of the one
almost isolatoi defaulter among those assuming to

proximity of the Zoologcal Gardens, one scarcely
expected a skunk to have e2lerged from the green

LONDON, TUESDAY, JULY 25, 1854.

It was because of his perpetual snarling, his
fretful, captious, carping, querulous discontent-

" The creature's at its dirty work again"—
the friends and admirers of THOMAS HOOD may
have had the last of Smellfungus.

"The Nuisances Removal and Diseases Preven-
tion Acts Consolidation Bill" has been reluctantly
withdrawn for the present session by the Home
Secretary. Can the cholera also be postponed in
consequence of the war ? We fear that is an enemy
whose advances cannot be delayed by pending
negotiations, and that unless we resort to the
means of defence which experience has already
proved to be available, we shall be at the mercy
of the grim and formidable invader. We find
that it has already made its appearance in the
country, has claimed its victims even in the heart
of the metropolis, and yet we are to remain indif-
ferent and apathetic, without taking any effec-
tual steps to avoid the infliction of the fear-
ful scourge. Everything must be borne, every
risk encountered, in order that what the Le-
viathan terms " the delicious treat of an
autumnal session" may ba avoided, that there
may be no interruption to the holiday pursuits of '
our used-up Legislators, and no interference with
the arrangements of the "dear and excellent"
Premier for the protection and security of " his I
friend of forty years' standing."
Everything combines to render an early meeting
of Parliament indispensable. It is, indeed, the
absolute, imperative necessity—the sine qua non
of the moment. The Noble Leader of the House
of Commons, however, refuses to give the slightest
satisfaction on the all-important topic—" Cir-
cumstances may make it very desirable to have
Parliament meet again soon, or the circumstances
of Europe may be such as to render it inexpedient,
in, the opinion of the Cabinet," (i.e., of Lord
A BERME:WO "to advise an autumnal session.
We must be left at full liberty to give such
advice as the circumstances of the time may
seem to us to require." Such was the cavalier
announcement put forward on behalf of the
Coalition Government to the chosen repre-
sentatives of the People—an announcement justi-
fied on the rather extraordinary ground, that the
leaders of a former " Coalition Ministry had re-
fused to bind themselves to the Sovereign as to
the course they would pursue in reference to a
particular measure !" Never was there so glaring
a "non sequitur," so absurd and illogical a con-
clusion. It would have been most unwise, most
impolitic, and most unconstitutional for any
Minister of the Crown to pledge himself unre-
servedly to set at naught the deliberations and
councils of two co-ordinate branches of the Legis-
lature in deference to the obstinate prejudices of a
third. It would justly have subjected the persons
who did so to the censure of their Peers, if not to
direct impeachment. They would have been not
merely "crippled and fettered" byan engagements°
improvident, but they would have been for ever
disgraced and dishonoured as public men.
But the engagement to convene Parliament
together, to require the advice and assistance of
the different Estates of the Realm, under dream-

Jewesbury and Co. remark as follows :

" The arrivals of colonial produce during the past
month have been very extensive, which, combined with
the decreased demand for export, has caused prices to
rule moderately ; there is an entire absence of any spe-
culative feeling, but the home demand continues
favourable, and is increasing< Russian, and also com-
peting articles of colonial produce, have commanded
Jess attention since our last, and prices are easier ;
it may., however, be presumed that the close blockade
of the Russian port: now established and the diminishing
probability of an early t4rmination of the war, will be-
fore long cause an advance upon t4', present rates for
articles, the consumption of which is affected by a con-
tinuation of hostilities. lime descriptions of dyes have
been in rather improved demand. Indigo and cochineal

Advises from St. Petersburg, of the 17th inst.,
state that since the allied fleets left Cronstadt some
of the Rus.;,an ships had ventured out to recon-
noitre, and that the Emperor himself had visited
the place to learn what had been the proceedings
of the enemy while they were off his coast. The
blockade of the White Sea is stated to have been
rigid, but the internal navigation of Russia has not
suffered by our stoppage of the trans-marine com-
merce. The arrivals of vessels at St. Petersburg

In 1:-.11:10 departments of France where the harvest
has been gathered it has proved large and of

The Egyptian crops are described as being very

The telegraph in anticipation of the Overland
Mail informs us of an advance again in the rate of
exchange at Shanghai. There are Australian ac-
counts to the 29th May. Trade at Sydney con-

Philip was good.

Past India Company upon the Presidencies of Ben-
gal, Madras, and Bombay, was, during the fortnight

The English Stock market has been flatter, the
debates in Parliament last evening having caused
much discussion and varying opinions, since the
war is expected by some to last much longer than
others have been willing to believe. Consols have
been 921- to 921 for transfer, and 92g to for ac-
count, the price now being 92g 1. The New 31

MAILS FOR AUSTRALIA.

General Post-office, July, 1851.
Arrangements have been made for the conveyance of
mails to Australia once in every month, by the. establish-
ment (under a contract with the General Screw Steam
Shipping Company) of a packet to run once in two mouths
direct from Southampton to Australia, alternately with
the existing lino of packets from Singapore, in connexion
with the Indian mail service.,_

The mails for Australia will accordingly be made up in
London, during the remainder of the present year, on the
following days :

All letters and newspapers for Now South Wales, Vic-
toria, South Australia, and Van Diemen's Land (except
such as may be specially addressed "via Marseilles"), will
be forwarded by the packets of the General Screw Steam
Shipping Company direct from Southampton, or by the
line via Southampton and Singapore, according as they may
be posted in time for either line of packets. Postmasters
will see that this regulation differs from the regulation
laid down for the despatch of letters to India, &c., which,
as a rule, are forwarded via Marseilles, unless spe-
cially directed to be sent by another route, while letters
for the Australian Colonies above mentioned will be con•
veyed by the long sea route as the rule, and only via Mar-
seilles when so directed. This is necessary, as Letters via
Marseilles can be forwarded to Australia only once in two
months, and, if inadvertently posted without any.special
address, would be subject to a very long delay.
