POPE PIUS THE NINTH.

To him who now wears the tiara a noble mission
is confided. Gregory the Sixteenth, with all his re-
sistances, prejudices, and alarms, belongs to the
times that were. Pius the Ninth has entered upon
his high position with a true appreciation of the
wants—the claims of the age. If he can resist the
pernicious influences that will beset him, there will
be no bounds to his popularity and power, not only
in the States of Italy, but throughout Catholic
Christianity. His disposition to advance will be
favoui-ably contrasted with the determination to stand
still, which was the law of his predecessor Italy
wants a Sovereign who shall be the recipient of
the public love, and 'tome has still links enough
binding her to all the States around to give
an intelligent Pontiff an immense authority. The
other day I received from an Italian lady a
lett....r written on a sheet, at the top of which,
engraved in gold, was a portrait of the pre-
sent Pope. "See 1" said she, it is thus we commu-
nicate with one another, thus that we convey our gra-
titude for what the holy father is doing—our ex-
pectations of what he still may do." Under the
guidance of a cultivated and civilised spirit, Rome
itself may awaken from its slumbers. It has still
within it some of the intellectual elements which
made it great and glorious. Let any man cross
the city into the Trans-Tiberian quarter (Tras-
tavere), and watch the countenances of those who
still represent the citizens of ancient Rome—that
portion of the population which is believed to have
escaped the fusion which the various races which
have from time to time invaded, possessed, and peo-
ple I the Italian provinces ; in the whole of that
community, in the women especially, ha will find
much to admire, and will not easily believe that
any great degeneracy can have corrupted such a
noble race. And it may be laid down as a safe posi-
tion, that where sound minds and fine physical powers
are preserved, there is no cause to despair of the re-
demption of nations. The seed of greatness have
not been wholly trampled down in Rome itself—
there is still fire in the ashes.—Dr. Bowring, in
Huwitt's Journal.

Low TIDE IN THE THAMES.--Yesterday afternoon
the ebb tide fell unusually low in the Thames, and many
of the above-bridge steamers and craft grounded in the
customary navigable channels of the river. From the
shallowness of the water, steam-vessels were unable to
bring up along4de the floating piers. At the Westmin.
ter•bridge steamboat pier, Surrey side, three small
steamers wero aground at the same time, to the great
consternation of the numerous passengers on board.
The German newspapers state that Professor
Schonbein, the inventor of the cotton powder, has dis-
covered a new composition which produces the same
effects as the inhalation of ether, without causing atty
danger. The nature of the new invention is not de
scribed.

-, FENCER'S CHINESE LIQUID HAIR DYE.
k 3 The thousands of individuals who for upwards of twenty
years have used this celebrated liquid, pronounce it to be the only
article extant which effectually changes, in a few minutes, red or
grey hair, whiskers, moustaches, &c., to a dark brown or black,
without trouble (by simply combing it through the hair), and pro-
duces by one application a pleasing and permanent change ; and it
can be incontestibly proved, that while many dyes tend to destroy
the hair by their pernicious properties and dangerous process of ap-
plication, that this article promotes the growth of hair, nourishing
the roots till the latest period of life. Price 3s. 6d., 65., and lOs
per bottle.

L'iNDON, FRIDAY. JUNE 4, 1847.

RICHARD COBDEN will speedily return to England
—to England which he has liberated from the thral-
dom of monopoly—to England, where his eloquence
and his patriotism have been so gloriously manifested
in the great victory achieved over the ignorance and
selfishness of generations. Since his departure from
us in the first blush of his commercial triumph, our
distinguished countryman has received the congratu-
lations of the continental and peninsular multitude,
of enterprising merchants, and of enlightened princes.
Unattended and untrumpetted, save by the voice of
his pacific fame, this simple cotton printer of England
has received such an ovation during his passage
throughout Europe as uncrowned bead never received
before—spontaneously. In the chivalrous land of
the Cm he has been welcomed with acclamation, in the
kingdom which gave birth to BAYARD, in the home of the
Roman conquerors, on the shores of the Atlantic and
the Mediterranean, he has been feasted and ap-
plauded. From the lips of King Louis PHILIPPE, of
the Sovereign of the two Sicilies, of the Monarch of
Sardinia, and of POPE PITTS IX., Mr. COBDEN has
heard the expressions of royal approval of the prin-
ciples of free trade. In Bordeaux, in Paris, in Cadiz,
in Madrid, in Genoa, in Naples, in Rome, in Florence,
in Turin, and elsewhere, the prominent orator of the
renowned League has received the felicitations of
those who are most competent to pronounce an
opinion upon the most rational system of exchanging
the productions of nature and the fabrications of in.
genuity. After this triumphal journey, after having
participated in the solemn funereal ceremonies
attendant upon the deceased Liberator of Ireland,
RICHARD COBDEN will return homewards, we ear-
nestly trust with a renovated constitution.

Let us welcome our illustrious fellow-citizen in a
manner befitting ourselves as men conscious of the
advantages resulting from an emancipated commerce,
and in a manner due to himself as a distinguished
public benefactor. An admirable opportunity is af-
forded just now by the announcement of the com-
mittee of the Cobden Testimonial that the proper
time appears to have arrived for the closing of the
contributions. With that announcement the sum
already accumulated is declared to have reached
a magnificent total of 80,483/. 13s. Bd. Considering
the financial pressure which has so long cramped the
operation of the money market, and materially inter-
fered with individual interests, we do conceive
that we are justified in calling this a mag-
nificent expression of national sympathy and
gratitude. Previously we have recommended that
the difference should, if possible, be realised, and that
the fund, having already exceeded eighty thousand
pounds sterling, should, by a vigorous movement
on the part of the committee, and a generous co-
operation on the part of the community, be carried
to the complete amount of
London, England, 1847-06-04

THE ART-UNION.

We have before us the most splendid number of
the Art-Union that has been issued for a long
period. It literally abounds with pictorial beauty,
the mere enumeration of which would extend beyond
the limits afforded just now by our columns. The
number is worth three times its average price. It is
conducted with increasing industry and the most
prolific enterprise.

---
Some parties, usually well-informed, writing from
Belfast on the all-important question of the coming crop,
observe—" We have had a few days warm and fine weather,
and we are told the country generally looks well. We calcu-
late, from observation and the farmers' statements, that in the
best portion of the North of Ireland nearly one-third extra
land is under grain, about one-fourth the average of potatoes
are planted, and scarcely an average of flax, besides a much
greater extent than ordinary of cabbages, turnips, parsnips,
carrots, beans, and such like." The destruction of live stock
during the winter, from poor food and insufficient tending, is
believed to have been considerable.
" BELL.E. LlFE."—There was sold of "Bell's Life
in London," during the past month of May—five publica-
tions only—namely, May 2,9, 16, 23, 30-141,561 copies,
making an average weekly sale of 28,312. On Sunday next
" Life" will contain faithful details of Ascot Races,
and their brilliant accompaniments, with engravings of the
Emperor's Vase, Queen's Vase, and Hunt Cup, with the usual

SHARPE'S LONDON MAGAZINE.

There are such a multitude of cheap and popular
publications, similar to Sharpe's London Magazine,
that we cannot do more than express our approval of
the general discrimination and unstarched morality
by which its pages are beautified. There is a dis-
agreeable mannerism about all the engravings, that
might be easily remedied. They seem to have been
produced by the scrutinising system of glypho-
graphy.

THE PICTURESQUE AND POPULAR .HIS-
TORY OF ENGLAND. Part I. By Thomas Miller.
Our old favourite Thomas Miller—the poet of the
green lanes and of schoolboy recollections—is
assuming a higher position in literature than he has
hitherto reached—he is climbing the pinnacle of his-
tory. Safe be his footing upon that perilous
ascent, and golden his reward on reaching the summit !
We have already had a multiplicity of histories of our
native land. Lingard and Hume have given us the
eloquent utterances of the past ; Stowe and Holin-
shed have afforded us the quaint chronicles ; Sharon
Turner and Henry have given us very equable
but fragmentary narratives ; we have had a
pictorial history from the printing press of
Charles Knight, a ventriloquial or Catholic history
from the portfolio of Mr. MacCabe, and a facetious
history from the incorrigible and inexhaustible
comicality of Gilbert A'Beckett. Thomas Miller
offers us now a picturesque and popular history. To
our thinking, he is admirably calculated for that very
graceful and novel undertaking. We shall re-
serve a definite expression of our opinion upon his
work until it is further advanced, if not completed.

examination of Lord Falmouth, the former on the financial
condition of the Great Western Company, and the latter with
the proposed accommodation to be given by Ithe Great

The Committee adjourned till twelve o'clock to-morrow.

which, by an easy process of arithmetic, will be found to
be, in round numbers, 195,0001. It may be said that
this is a large sum. Then, let the limit be a penny per
five pounds ; this would yield again in round numbers,
39,000/. Again a tenth. or a penny per ten pounds,
would be just one half-19,5001. Say only a penny per
share, and, to facilitate calculation, take the shares at
25/. each ; 47,000,000/. divided by 25, gives 1,830,000/.;
and this, at one penny each, amounts to 7,B33L—the
lowest possible amount we think the railway public
could, with any regard to liberality, offer as their contri-
butiun to the national testimonial to Thomas Gray. We
hope to see some movement made at the ensuing half-
yearly meetings of the railway companies ; and, in the
mean time, we throw out these hints for the consideration
of railway men."

Let it not be forgotten that Thomas Gray was the
first (derided) propounder of railway communication.
Thomas Gray is now old, and, we believe, very in-
digent !

THE KNIGHT OF G WYNNE. Part XVIII.
By Charles Lever.
Forester, as Earl of Wallincourt, figures very
conspicuously in these chapters ; he is all solicitude
to afford assistance to the Darcys. In hastening
towards Ireland for the purpose, he is, however,
detained at Bangor by a dangerous attack of
fever. His valet proceeds to Bicknell, at Dublin, for
the purpose of delivering important dispatches from
Lord Castlereagh, whereby the approaching trial
with O'Rielly may be frustrated against Dr. Hick-
man and his detestable relations. We are intro-
duced again to Freeney and Miss Daly ; but
as yet no sign of Bagenal or the Knight. Next
month there will be of course a double number com-
pleting the fiction.

PURSUIT OF KNOWLEDGE; FEMALE

As has been visible heretofore in the periodical
publication of this serial, there is much discrimina-
tion in the arrangement of the different subjects.
The first work above-mentioned is composed of
certain recollections of sixteen years' hard labour
in the Australian backwoods. The second is a
collection of biographical notices of Elizabeth
Smith, Elizabeth Hamilton, Hannah More, and Mrs.
Grant of Laggan. We perceive that among the con-
tinuations that have recently appeared of works com-
menced in the Weekly Volumes, are the abbreviated
