ISLE or EYE.—We are happy to hear from our
Skye correspondent, who writes on the 27th October,
that the harvest has been got over favourably:—“ We
have had particularly fine weather for the harvest work
for a fortnight past, and the crops have been got in
better this season than for some years. Although the
return is perhaps rather below than above an average
in quantity, the condition in which the corn has been
got in will, I think, make up for this. We have had
very cold north wind during part of the time since my
last communication, and last week we had a little snow,
which, however, remained on the ground for a couple of
days only. We have since that time until to-day had
weather resembling, I should think, what in America
they call their `lndian summer.' It has now become
wet and misty—the staple weather of this quarter; but I
believe there is very little corn now exposed in any part
of the island. The disease among the potatoes still
continues, and this—for only a small quantity was
planted by some of the people—has exhausted the whole
stock of some of them already.—lnverness Courier.
JEWS AND GERBRAL LITERARY AND SCIENTIC
INsTrrunow.—The opening of the lecture session of this
institution, was celebrated yesterday evening by a con-
versagione, when the reading-rooms were attended by a
large concourse, and were decorated with various ob-
jects illustrative of the arts and sciences. On tho
platform was the Rev. the Chief Rabt.i, and the Presi-
dent, Hanaeel de Castro, Esq., Dr. Van Oven, Colonel
Gawler, and a number of ladies. The President ad-
dresed the assembly : he stated that 118 lectures had
been delivered at the institution during the past four sos
sions, illustrated by diagrams and costly apparatus. The
library for reference and circulation, now contains up-
wards of 4,000 volumes, amongst which are works of the
highest reputation in Hebrew, German, and English
literature. The number of life subscribers was stated to
be 71, making, with subscribing members, 302. The
Rev. the Chief Rabbi (Dr. Adler) addressed the meeting
at some length in favour of the objects of the institution.

The letters from Margarita receive, at Trinidad
confirm the intelligence of the defeat of Paez and his
fleet off that coast. The capture of two of his vessels is
also stated to have been effected by the Government
forces, who, besides taking the chief officers prisoners,
also secured a considerable booty in money. On this
subject, also, the following official information has been
received from his Government by the Venezuelan consul
in London, dated Caraccas, sth of October, namely--
" That the rebel squadron was hemmed in in the Gulf of
Maracaibo, and blockaded by the forces of the Govern-
ment, under General Justo Brieino; that on the 21st of
September they had disembarked their soldiers and
marines at Quisiro, on the banks of the Gulf, where
they were encountered by the Commandant Baca, and
completely routed, leaving two cannons, their baggage,
and ammunition, and a number of killed, wounded, and
prisoners on the field. The remainder returned pranipi.
tately to their ships. The rest of the Rspublic was per-
fectly tranquil, the elections having taken place in the
best order, and it was expected that the authority of the
Government would soon be re-established in the province
of Maracaibo, as it is elsewhere. Paez remained in the
Dutch island of Curscoa, much dispirited at the ill suc-
cess of his attempts at insurrection."
FOUR ATTIMPTS AT ROMIERT.—EarIy on Thurs.
&iv morning some thieves effected an entrance to the
Weekly Chronicle office, Strand, through the back part
of the premises, by availing themselves of a scaffold and
ladder in the court close by. Theywearme,phedowo.heveierr,odnils;
appointed in their expectations, for after forcing open
the desks, cupboards, and till, they decamped,
booty being a few postage stamps. Similar attempts
were made the same morning on the three adjoining
houses, but fortunately the thieves were foiled in each
instance.

Tna WEATHEIL—During the last few says we
have had alternations of wind, rain, and cold. Wednes-
day night was a regular soaker, but yesterday morning
the house-tops and the streets bad a coating of snow and
sleet, and the latter having frozen after its fall, the foot-
paths and roads presented difficulties to biped and qua-
drupeds, not often seen at so early a period. In many
p Ins of England, Scotland, and Ireland, there have been
heavy falls of snow and severe frosts, but whether this
very early setting in of winter predicates a long and
severe, or a short and mild one, is a matter best left to
tho weather prophets. between whom experience wili
decide.—Liverpool Mercury of this day.
Tnz TRANSIT OF MERCURY YESTERDAY.—The an-
nouncement in the newspapers of the approach of the
transit of Mercury over the disc of the sun, has excited
more interest in the public mind than could well have
bet n expt cfed in a time of such a pressure of momentous
events in politics and commerce. The interest taken
in astronomy is evidently great, and only waits a
favourable opportunity for its full development. The
transit began at eleven o'clock, and had not finished at
sunset. The day was highly favourable, and, with the
help of week telescopes, the planet was seen distinctly to
traverse from the eastern to the western limb of the
sun's disc, passing., in its course, one very large dark
spot, and another less extensive on the sun's surface. It
is a memorable astronomical event, and will serve to give
greater correctness to the theory of the motions of the
planets. Although another transit of Mercury will take
pl►ce in 1861, still the uncertainty of the weather may
make this the last that will be seen here for many years.

SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS.
FROM THE MORNING 7APERS OF THIS DAY.
TlMES.—Yesterday was the great metropelion ft s-
deity. The Chief Magistrate of the ancient city of
London entered his year of office with the same antique
pageant, grave ceremonial, and magnificent hospitality
that our fathers saw before us, ere the age of revolutions
had begun. Representing all the municipal corporati, ns
of the country, he presented himself, with all his civic
court, at her Majesty's Palace of Westminster to be
sworn to his arduous duties; and after the "double
triumph" by land and tide, which still excites the smile
it did a century ego, he received the chief notabilities of
the empire at that same Guildhall which Planttigt nets
and Tudors have visited on similar occasions. Anuotig
the few relics of old London, happily there survives one
centre of civic associations. It i. true, that instead of the
lurid torch, the blazing hearth, or the forest of wax candles,
the walls are resplendent with gas, and ten thousand myste•
rious tongues of flame shed aseconddaylight on the fes-tive
array. It is true that the chiefs exalted to the dais are
no longer men of fierce countenance, more used to blows
than to words. Lots er dowa, faces full of comfort and
wealth contrast oddly enough with the barbaric rtliyies
that still adorn the hall. Yet as a whole there is not to
be found, probably in all Europe, a more perfect and me:
tural mediaeval idea than the Lord Mayor's banquet and
show. The scene which historic novelists have attempted
to describe with so much tedious detail is here recog-
nized at a glance. It is no uffectation, no revival, no
vain attempt to ingraft old upon new—it is old London
where it was, and, in many honourable respects, vary
much what it was. Go where you will you will nowhere
see so goodly a muster of ld English industry, honesty,
and skill. Of the many hundred men who yesterday
crowded the hall and its adjoining apartment, nearly all
had :risen to a position of competence, resptc-
tauility, eminence, dignity, or power, by habits
of independent feeling and exertion. The vast
variety assembled illustrates the uniformity of
character pervading all the orders of British society.
There were the constitutional advisers of the Crown,
men of no mean reputation or ill tried honour; there
were distinguished naval and military commanders, the
law officers of the Crown, judg, s, dignitaries of the
Church, noted merchants and tradesmen, men who had
made their own fortunes, and won their own fame. The
Lord Mayor sat on the seat whereon have sat before
many a man who once was houseless, and who after
wards attained still higher distinction. Many of our
nobility, if they wish to go back so far, will find the
cunabula of their race in the gaudy honours of the
homely old city. The tone of such a company is that
of industry and honour. Here are no murmurings
against fate, no accusations of the elements or the stars,
no jealousy of Governments, no schemes of revolution
or greediness of plunder; for the simple reason that our
good citizens have proved and ascertained by expe-
rience that a man may generally rise if he chooses,
and that if he does sink lower, or grovel in
his native squalor, it is generally his own fault.
In such a place, if anywhere, may be permitted
those modest congratulations which will sponta-
neously rise to the lips and struggle for utterance, at the
comparison of this metropolis with its continental sisters.
Prudish meralists have forbade us this innocent joy.
We were lately told by a man who has not taken his own
elevation with the most exemplary meekness that it is
self righteous to recognise the remarkable immunity we
hitherto enjoy from the scourge of epidemic insurrection.
The parallel, indeed, is striking enough. Our Hotel de
Ville is occupied by harmless citizens, instead of a revo-
lutionary junta, or a democratic clique. Instead of whole
battalions a few unarmed policemen protect it from in-
vasion. Our metropolis has not seen its streets con-
tested inch by inch by furious factions. It has net
become familiar with volleys of musketry and the
thunder of cannon. It his not been besieged by
provinces, blockaded by famine, bombarded, and
taken by assault. It has tot been mined from
below, and burnt with rockets from above. It
has not been entered by victorious strangers. It is not
a prey to anarchy. It is not " goy( tried" by an imbe-
cile, or, what is worse, by a man too crazy to reign, unit
too sane to depose. Its ciezens are not armed. Its
youths do not dream of conquests, at least on European
soil. Its credit, shaken by commercial mischief at
home, has revived even under the alarms of spreading.
revolution ; its industry is not abated, and the fountain
of wealth is not dried up. It is scarcely human not to
think of the se things and be thankful for them. Such
congratulations need not be alloyed by vanity or ill-
will. We can receive with equal pleasure Lard Lens-
dowee's well-deserved compliments to the loyalty of the
late Lord Mayor and his fellow- citizens when threatened
with revolution, and M. de Beaumont's excellent obsFr-
ration, that the common prosperity is furthered by
i in-
ternational peace, and impaired by war ; and that t is
rather our object to raise our neighbours than to ruin
them.
CHRONICLE.—We may fairly and properly address
to our countrymen the words addressed by Burke to the
House of Lords, towards the conclusion of his famous
speech against Warren Ilastings—" Your justice stands
pre-eminent in the world; but it stands amidst a vast
IsOap of ruins, which surround it in every corner of
Europe." It is this last circumstance which gives a
more than common significance in the case of His
Royal Highness the Prince Consort v. Strange (reported
in our paper of the 7th); for although the superficial
observer may regard it as a mere matter of course, that
the highest personages in the realm should appear before
Vice-Chancellor Knight Bruce to enforce a claim, and be
received on a perfect footing of equality with the lowest,
it is not the less true that there is not another country in
the world, aristocratic or democratic, monarchical or re-
publican, where the Sovereign or the First Megistrate,
or any one identified in intern st with the Sovereign or
First Magistrate, would appear in a court of justice
without fear and trembling, or (worse still) without
an undue, yet well-grounded, confidence in the result.
The first remarkable occasion on which the stern,
uncompromising character of British law became fami-
liarly known throughout Europe, was in Queen Anne's
time, when an Ambassador from Peter the Great was
arrested in the streets of London for a debt of fifty
pounds. Peter was furious, and insisted that the Sheriff
of Middlesex, and all others concerned in the affair,
should be punished with instant :death; but the Queen
replied, that " she could inflict no punishment unles,
warranted by the law of' the land; and, therefore, was
persuaded that he would not insist upon impossibilities."
Napoleon, as arbitrary as Peter in his way, accepted
with extreme reluctance the small reparation offered him
in the prosecution of Pt ltier; and could never be made
to understand that the Government might not have
gagged Sir James Mackintosh had they thought fit.
The legal victory gained by Horne Tooke's father, a
poulterer, over the Heir Apparent of the British
throne, might have taught him better; or he might
have been consoled on bearing that one of the
severest mortitications ever inflicted on a member of
our Royal Family, was the being defeated in the attempt
to stop a path across Richmond-park by a shoemaker.
It is remarkable that Napoleon did once suspend a pro-
jected improvement in Paris rather than eject a shoe-
maker who refused to resign his tenement; but the Em
peror was so little in the habit of respecting rights of
any kind that we suspect this solitary instance to have
been a coup-de-theatre at the best. When 1., uis
Philippe laid claim to the right of engrsving from the
new pictures in the Ve rsaill, s Gallery, and the claim
was contested by the painters, he forthwith proceeded to
use the whole influence of his Government to get a legis-
lative declaration of his alleged rights, and failed It
will be admitted on all hand: that our Sovereign. and her
Royal Consort have come with infinitely more grace be-
fore the public, in their capacity of patrons of 'art and
assertors of their rights as amateur artists. As to these
"rights, there was not the shadow of a doubt from the
beginning. The only difficulty was to discover
the proper parties to be proceeded against. " The in-
formation stated that her Majesty the Queen, and her
Consort, his Royal Highness the Prince Albert, re-
spectively, had occasionally, for their amusement, Made
drawings and etchings, principally on subjects of private
and domestic interest to themselves, of which etchings
they had made impressions for their own use, and not
for publication; that,. for the greater privacy, such im-
pressions had been for the most part made by means of
a private press kept for that purpose, and the plates
themselves had been ordinarily kept by her Majesty
under lock ; that the impressions had been placed in
some of the private apartments of her Majesty at Wind-
sor, and in such private apartments only." These had
been abstracted, and a gallery formed of them, which
had been duly advertised, as well as a work entitled
" A Descriptive Catalogue of the Royal Victoria and
Albert Gallery of Etchings." The collection (according
to the report) " contained portraits of the favourite
dogs of the Queen and the Prince, etchings from old
and rare engravings in the possession of her Majesty ;
several from the original designs of the Queen and his
Royal Highness, representing warriors, the heads of
animals and birds, and historical and domestic subjects,
and a variety of interesting works, some from original
drawings by Landseer and other esteemed artists. The
information alleged that the impressions of the etchings
were intended to be for the private use of her Majesty
and his Royal Highness Prince Albert, and that al-
though copies of some of them have been occasionally
and rarely given to some of their private friends (one to
one friend and one to another), no such collection as
that so advertised for exhibition as aforesaid was ever
given away by them or either of them, or by their or
either of their permission ; and no such col-
lection could have been formed, except of im-
pressions surreptitiously and improperly obtained.'"
Alter the requisite technicalities were complied
with, the desired " injunction" was decreed.
The impression left by the perusal of "Lord
Hervey's Memoirs "is certainly not favourable to
royalty. It is not simply the irregularities in
which one of the royal pair, so graphically delineated by
Sporus, indulged with the express sanction, and even
connivance, of the other, but the total absence of refine-
ment or cultivation in their pursuits, which strongly
offends modern notions. But any rash conclusion to
which a reader of delicate perceptions and high moral
tone may have been hurried regarding the effects of
high station, will be at once corrected and repelled by
the charming picture of domestic life in a palace, inci-
dentally suggested by the grave legal documents in this
case. Monarchy is safe in the affections, as well as in
the principles, of the people, so lung as the curtain,
however rudely and suddenly drawn, is sure to disclose
nothing but harmony, purity, intellectual habits, good
feeling, and good taste ; and Justice receives the high-
est of earthly homages when Princes and Rulers Leek, of
their own accord, her judgment-seat.

CHOLERA ON BOARD HER MAJESTY'S STEAMER
SEAFLOWER, AT JERSEY. - The Admiralty were in-
formed yesterday of cholera having broken out on
board the above vessel, stationed for the protection of
the British fisheries at Jersey; and more medical re-
sources than tho ship afforded being required to meet
the exigencies of the case, their Lordships have ordered
medical officers to be dispatched from Portsmouth to
her relief. The steamer Myrtle took out the required
medical aid yesterday afternoon.
