The Harwich Steam Packet Company is formed for the purpose of
establishing steam communication with the ports of Northern
Germany, Holland, and Belgium, by which a- considerable saving of
time and expense will be effeeted in voyages to and from those
ports.
It is intended to provide powerful steam boats, built on the most
improved principles In respect of construction and engines, replete
with every possible convenience and comfort, and adapted to the
ample accommodation of passengers ; and that they shall also carry
a Limited quantity of suitable cargo.
The expected traffic by the steamers has been ascertained from the
most correct data procurable, and the Tables of Traffic framed with
the greatest care ; and from the calculations made, the receipts of
the Steam Packet ComPany, after making ample deduction for ex-
penses, will produce at least 7 per cent. upon the capital. In addi-
tion to this, the calculations show that the Eastern Counties and
Eastern Union Railway Companies will be largely benefited by an
important increase of revenge to their respective railways.
Arrangements have been made with the Eastern Counties and
Eastern Union Railway Companies, by which the Proprietors of the
Steam Packet Company will receive a Dividend of not less than
per cent. per annum on their subscriptions; and therefore the Shares
wilt be distributed among tic Pwnwietors of those two Railway
Companies and of the Northern and Eastern, and Ipswich and Bury
St. Edmund's Railway Companies, in the proportion of 24,000 Shares

INDIAN NEWS.
SINDE.
Letters have reached us from Kurrachee to the 16th
ult., containing a good deal of valuable intelligence.
Some portion of the news has already been laid before
the reader through different channels and in a different
shape. One of our correspondents, who emphatically
characterises Sinde as " the laud of death and desola-
tion," affords us some particulars relative to the lament-
able effects of cholera in her Majesty's 86th, which it is
well worth our while to transcribe. He observes that
the unfortunate regiment in question is very nearly
destroyed, and that it will take a long time to renovate
it at all. On the 14th of June the disease broke out in
its ranks with such violence that on the following day
upwards of 70 men were buried, 60 on the 16th, and 54
on the 17th, making a total of 184 men in three days !
The loss up to the date of our friend's letter was as
follows :
Sergeants .... ... ... 16
Corporals ... 13
Drummers ... ••• ... 2
Privates ... ... 218
Women 15
Children ... 12

Total ... 276
There were, besides, between 70 and 80 in hospital. All
the staff sergeants had died, with the exception of the
quartermaster-sergeant and armourer. The regiment
had lost its sergeant-major, band sergeant, paymaster's
clerk, orderly room clerk, master tailor, schoolmaster-.
sergeant, and hospital sergeant; a sad blow to this un-
fortunate corps. Strange to say, those who fell victims
to the scourge were principally, the finest, strongest, and
the most powerful men in the regiment; the weak men,
and patients who were in hospital, almost all recovered.
Of thirty-four grenadiers who died in four days, the
average height was a fraction more or less than six feet;
in fact, the front rank of that company had been mown
down as if by a chain shot. Nine of the band had died.
No fresh cases had occurred since the 12th, when three
were admitted, one of which proved fatal. The weather
had improved, but was still very hot. It was com-
puted that at least 9,000 natives had died in and about
Kurrachee. The Fusiliers and Rifles had lost altogether
between 90 and 100 men each, the 12th Native Infantry
about 80 or 90; the Beloochee battalion upwards of
100. The 3d Native Infantry had been more for-
tunate, having lost only about 50 men, but the
disease had not yet left them. Only three officers
in all had died, viz., Captain Seton, of the Fusiliers,
Lieutenant Dawson, of the 12th Native Infantry, and
the Governor's nephew, Captain J. M. Napier. The
conduct of the officers of her Majesty's 86th, during
the dreadful scenes that took place while the pestilence
lasted, is described to have been most exemplary. From
morning to night they were constantly in the hospital,
endeavonring to keep up the spirits of the men, who
were enthusiastic in their expressions of gratitude for
such attention. Many of the unhappy sufferers are said
to have expired without pain ; they merely complained
of being sick, lay down, and died ! One of our inform-
ants states that it was more like a plague than anything
else, so rapid and awful was the mortality—so in-
exorable the Angel of Death. It is supposed, as stated
by us on Monday, the scarcity and badness of the food
procurable at Kurrachee were the chief cause of the
malignity of the cholera. " The congregating," says a
correspondent, " such an immense force of Europeans at
Kurrachee was, without exception, the most foolish act
ever perpetrated—particularly during the hot season,
and with two regiments under canvas. The resources
of the place were wholly inadequate to their support,
and the, consequence was, that for a month before the
pestilence broke out, nothing but common carrion
could be purchased in the bazaar. The food, there-
fore, given to the men was of the worst description,
and although, bad it been better, cholera would still have
appeared; yet the want of proper nourishment predis-
posed the men to the disease, and consequently the
mortality was infinitely greater than it otherwise would
have been. One proof of this is to be found in the es-
cape, in a great measure, of the officers, who of course
procured comparatively wholesome food, and out of
180, only six were attacked, one of whom (Captain
Napier) having been in such a state of ill health pre-
viously that the slightest disease, of any kind, would
have carried him off. The circumstance of her Ma-
jesty's 86th having suffered to a greater extent than
the other regiments, is to be attributed to the fact
that they bad been more than two years and a half in
Sinde—had been stationed at Hyderabad during the
hot season of. 1844, where they buried in one month
upwards of 20 men, struck dead by the sun—and had
returned to Kurrachee in August more like invalids
than working men. They had marched: nearly 1,290
miles to Bhawulpore and back, were nearly four months
under canvas, and on their arrival at Kurrachee, in-
stead of being placed in the barracks they had for-
merly vacated, and to the occupation. of which their
long and arduous march certainly entitled them,
they had been again put in tents. Their
constitutions, previously weakened by the climate
and the march, could not bear up against the disease,
and the mortality amongst them was consequently more
than double that of any other regiment. The survivors
seemed, on parade, more like patients discharged from
a fever hospital than the soldiers of probably the finest
regiment (certainly in point of men) that ever landed in
India. Had the corps been sent to Bombay or Poonah,
previous to the close of the season—and for which there
was plenty of time—all the horrors it has sustained, and
the dreadful loss it has suffered, might have been spared it.
Colonel Derinzey, we regret to hear, has been exceed-
ingly ill ever since the cholera broke out, and it is
doubted whether he will be able to do duty with the
86th again."
A correspondent mentions that Sir Charles Napier
had a meeting of all the medical men at Government-
house on the 16th, for the purpose of inspecting and
examining the. different articles of beer, brandy, &c.,
given to the men. The result is not stated. The men
had been previously restricted to two drachms of arrack
per diem, which, as a matter of course,' had produced
much grumbling.
Her Majesty's 17th at Sukkur were very sickly. They
were to start from that place for Kurrachee on the Ist
instant. One of our letters remarks :—" Should the
cholera catch them on the way, they will be annihilated
as their strength is completely prostrated from the effects
of the tremendous heat." Supplies of all sorts were, it
is needless to say, extremely scarce and dear, and the
lack of the necessaries of life was likely to be still further
increased on the arrival of the 17th. "Ere long," says
a correspondent, " the Commissariat folks assure us we
shall be obliged to eat one. another I"—Bombay Tele-
graph, August 5.
There is considerable excitement amongst the troops
in Sinde, who expect, as a Bengal army is to be as-
sembled on the banks of the rivers Sutlej and Beas, that
they will be called on to move this season to Bhawulpore
in the same manner as they did last year. The prospect
of the capture of Mooltan is sufficiently encouraging.
That city will soon form one of the chief British
entrepots in the west of India.—Gentleman's Gazette,
August 18.

PUNJAUB.
LAHORE, JULY 21.—" Hera Nund, Vakeel of Sirdar
Shere Singh, Nizam of Peshawur, intimated to the Sir-
kar that the fort of Attock had, from time immemorial,
been subject to the Governor of Peshawur; that on a
late occasion Mousdah Singh had been appointed to the
charge of that fort, in supersession of the former Tha-
nadar; that his master Shere Singh had rendered essen-
tial services to the Sirkar during the period of the rebel-
lion of Prince Peshora Singh; that on a late occasion
his judicious arrangements had restored tranquillity in
the Yoozoofzaie country and secured the approbation of
the country ; and that if the Sirkar were now willing to
acknowledge these facts and reward his services, all he
required was that the fort of Attock should be con-
tinued under his charge, declaring that rather than his
wishes should not be complied with he would resign his
office at Peshawur. Raja Lall Singh was displeased
at this abrupt declaration, and remarked that if
Shere Singh did not wish to remain at Peshawur he
would shortly be recalled, but that for the present
Mousdah Singh should be installed Thanadar of Attock.
llawee Deeal represented that some disputes had arisen
between Futteh Khan, Tawanah, Futteh Khan, Lon,
and Shere Mahomed Khan, in consequence of the terri-
tory of Mutts, Tawanah, in which the two last had al-
ways had a share with the first, having been entirely
made over to Futteh Khan, Tawanah, and that it was
incumbent on the Sirkar to make some arrangement in
this matter, either to take entire charge of the territory,
or divide it equitably, as otherwise bloodshed would be
the certain consequence of the present disputes. Hear-
ing all this, Raja Lall Singh ordered that a purwannah
should be addressed to Misr Ameerchund, with orders to
take possession of the territory by his own Kardars, and
to send the Kardars of Patel). Khan to Lahore. This
day, Raja Lall Singh, Sirdar Tej Singh, and Dewan
Deena Nath had a long conference regarding the
Jagheer of Sirdar Runjoor Singh, consequent on which
they summoned Khan Singh Majeeteea. On the
conclusion of the interview with the latter, Dewan
Neena Nath was desired to send for Runjoor Singh, and
explain to him in an amicable manner the situation in
which he stood, and propose certain terms for his ac-
ceptance, informing him at the same time that if these
were not agreeable more stringent measures would be
adopted. It is not known what has been the determina-
tion of the Sirdar. The Dufterees of the cavalry had
been directed to pay up the discharged Suwars to the
day of their dismissal, and to make no deductions what-
soever.

JULY 22.—Raja Lall Singh stated to the people as-
sembled at the Durbar, that he had received a letter from
the battalions of Sirdar Khan Singh, Roussah, declaring
that they would no longer remaia in the service of the
Sirkar, and demanding their discharge and payment of
all the arrears due to them, An urzee arrived at the
same time from General Goordut Singh, remonstrating
against the order by whieh the whole of his artillery had
been made over to General Elahee Bukhsh, representing
that his being thus deprived of his artillery was a great
slur on him, and declaring that if the order were
not rescinded he would resign his command. This
matter had no sooner been heard than Mootee
Earn, Vakeel of Dewan Ajoodheea Purshad, represented
that his master bad frequently applied for all the
papers connected with the territory along the new fron-
tier, but that no attention had been paid to his requisi-
tion, and that it was impossible for him to proceed in his
survey unless these documents were furnished. Raja

Lall Singh promised his attention to the matter on the
morrow. Sirdar Sultan Mahomed Khan, Barrukzie,
being present, stated before the Sirkar that Futteh
Khan, Tawannah, was- a faithful servant to the Sirkar,
that Futteh Khan, Lon, and Shere Mahomed were his
personal enemies;
that their representations were of the
mostinterested description, and that if the territory
lately in dispute were not left entirely to the manage-
ment of the Tawannah, there was no chance of tran-
quillity prevailing amongst the people. Raja Lall Singh
replied, that as the best way to put an end to the dis-
putes, the Sirkar had resumed the country, but if, on
examination it were found that the Sirdar's re-
presentations were correct, the territory should
be again made over to Futteh Khan. Assa-
nund, agent to the Dewan Moolraj, Nizam of
Mooltan, who had gone to the agent of the Governor-
General, to represent the situation in which his master
was placed, has returned to Lahore. He was received
at the Durbar, presented a nuzzur of five rupees and
had a long private conference with Raja Lall Singh.
It is reported that he has brought letters from the Bri-
tish authorities to Raja Lall Singh, to the effect that
the Raja had much better leave matters as they were in
Mooltan, taking only what was really due to the Sirkar,
and leaving all former accounts to be settled by the Ma-
haraja himself when he should be capable of managing
his own affairs. I cannot say how far this may be true,
but it is stated that the communication of Assanund had
a sensible effect on Raja Lall Singh; who appeared to
rise from the conference greatly dispirited. He imme-
diately sent for Lalla Jussmull, the Mooltan Vakeel at
Lahore, and held a long conference with him. It was
then ordered that a purwannah should be addressed to
Dewan Moolraj containing assurances of the gooodwill
of the Sirkar I The Suwars of the Moohajeea Dhera,
who had gone to the agent of the Governor-General,
have returned, and the Dufterees have since received in-
structions to pay them.
JULY 23.—Another purwannah was this day ordered
to be written to Dewaa Moolraj, stating that accounts
had been received in Lahore of some disturbances having
taken place in certain parts of Mooltan, consequent on
the careless nature of his government, and that he should
devote his immediate attention to the putting down of
the same, conducting himself in all respects as a faithful ,
servant of the Sirkar. He was at the same time in-
formed that the matters in dispute between the Sirkar
and himself would be speedily brought to a favourable
issue, and that his Vakeel Jussmull should be
made fully aware of everything. A news-letter
has arrived from the camp of Misr Bhugwan Singh, in
which it is stated that he had deputed a detachment
under Khuzan Singh, Chajeea, towards Munkera, to take
charge of that fort, and to settle the country in its neigh-
bourhood. The letter further went on to say, that when
the Chajeea had arrived within a few koss of Munkera,
the Killedar intimated his intention of offering resistance,
being supported by a party sent by Dewan Moolraj to
his assistance. Khuzan Singh hearing this halted where
he was, and wrote to the Misr for further instructions. The
Misr bade him remain on his present ground till further
orders. Raja Lall Singh, hearing this, dispatched a pur-
wannah to Misr Bhugwan Singh, stating that as there
was every prospect of the disputes with Moolraj being
speedily adjusted in an amicable manner, he must desire
Khuzan Singh to retire some distance pending further
instructions. Sirdar Heera Singh has received the title-
deeds of the Goojranwallah Jagheer. The Vakeel of
Tej Chund, Kardar, represented that Sirdar Heera
Singh had seized two or three Sirkaree villages, a matter
in which the Kardar did n')t think proper to interfere.
Hurput Rae, the Sirkar's Vakeel, was immediately sent
for, asked to meet the accusation, and desired to write
to his master to give up the villages immediately.
Dewan Deena Nath this day produced a number of office
papers bearing the seals of Maharaja Runjeet Singh,
Kurruck Singh, and Shere Singh, and recommended that
they should be forwarded to the British authorities,
which was done forthwith. Sirdar Tej Singh repre-
sented that General Sultan Maimood had requested his
intercession respecting a jagheer, on which one of 10,000
rupees was bestowed on him.—Delhi Gazette, Aug. 1.
Our Lahore letters are more eventful than usual. We
regret to hear that her Majesty's 80th Foot have lost
several men from apoplexy, and that the Artillery also
have suffered. A medical friend tell us, that the
European soldiers expose themselves too frequently to
the influence of the midday sun, which at this season of
the year is more powerful perhaps than at any other, and
that in many cases these deaths are thereto attributable. I
The sepoys wore very healthy at Lahore, and on the
whole the officers bear the climate well. The heat is
described as -intense at times.
We are told that the hulk of the Seikh army is scat-
tered over the country, round about Umritser and
Lahore, ready to concentrate the moment we cross the
river, should that ever take place. Meantime all is still,
and the neighbourhood is as quiet as could be wished.
The hordes of Akhalees, who came for their back pay,
were very orderly and well behaved, and by no means
clamorous or turbulent. Lall Singh at first wanted to
put them off, if not set aside their claims by intimida-
tion, but he evidently found that that would not do, and
so resorted to other means to appease them. What
these means were our letters do not say, but we are told
the " immortal" ones have dispersed.
It is'ascertained that a few only of the Seikh soldiers
went to Jummoo, some are located tor tne present at ,
Peshawur, and others have taken up their abode in Mool-
tan, but the bulk still hover on or near the Ranee.
It is generally "believed" in Lahore, that in October
the forces will move into camp outside the city, and that
after an interval, which, according to circumstances, may
be longer or shorter, they will march into the doab, and
there await whatever duty fate may design for fulfilment.
For our own part we fear, and we have reason to do so,
that a subsidiary force will be organised in the Punjaub I
For the Ranee and for Lall Singh it will be the best
thing that could possibly be devised. For the interests
of the company, and for the welfare of the people, it will
be about the worst measure that ever was conceived.
One of our correspondents says, that of all the Seikhs,
Punjaubees, and men of Hindostan, with whom he has
conversed, " there is not a man who believes Lall Singh
would live a month after the withdrawal of our forces,"
and that " the universal wish seems to be that we
should take the country." We can easily understand
the feelings which prompts the expression of this de-
sire; but it is unnecessary for us to repeat what we have
so often urged, and therefore we return to abstract from
our letters the items which have been kindly communi-
cated unto us.

A report prevailed a short time ago, that a very se-
rious row had taken place at Jummoo, in which some
mischief had befallen to Captains Broome and Nichol-
son—of what nature was not stated. It turns out, how-
ever, that the rumour was utterly unfounded. It was
communicated to, us at the time it was current, but we
had reason to believe it a mere rumour, and therefore
suppressed it.
It is considered at Lahore that Lall Singh did not ex-
actly do the thing he ought to have done in receiving at
court the Killedar of Kote Kangra,
and presenting him
with a horse.

A friend at Lahore had heard that they were all at
loggerheads in Caubul. The Aineer and his son had
quarrelled, it was said, and the latter was off to Bok-
hara.

Other letters, dated 29th ult.,
speak of a skirmish
having taken place between the Seikh troops and those
belonging to the Dewan Moo!raj, of Mooltan, in which
the former were defeated with the loss of some guns.
The Mooltan troops were Affghans There has also
been fight in the Hazaree country, between Maharaja
Ghoolab Singh's troops and the Zemmdars, in which the
latter are said to have been victorious, and to have de-
stroyed between 1,500 to 2,000 of the Maharaja's sol-
diers.—Mefussilite, August 4.

ROBERT
MELANCHOLY SUICIDE OF SCURFIELD,
Eso..—On Tuesday evening this gentleman, well known
as a most extensive shipowner and very wealthy inhabi-
tant of Sunderland, committed suicide by hanging him-
self. Having retired to rest rather earlier than usual,
he was discovered in his bed-room, about 10 o'clock, by
Mrs. Scurlleld, who immediately, with great presence of
mind and firmness, cut him down, lie was, however,
quite dead. The melancholy event is attributed to long-
continued depression of spirits arising from the loss of a
favourite daughter, who died about two yeara ago.—
[Another statement, however, assigns the fatal act to a
morbid apprehension of poverty, Which,
notwithstand-
ing his great wealth, had recently haunted his imagi-
nation.]—Durham Chronicle.

mullet, smelts, and other small fish, he observed a spec-
tacle which our oldest fishermen declared to be unpre-
cedented, namely, large shoals of whiting skimming,

of the water after the manner of mackerel and pilchers.
He succeeded in netting 72 score, which were brought
in yesterday morning, and fetched from 3s. to ss. a score.
Whiting are generally taken with the hook and lie at
the bottom of the water. Our fishermen look upon the
circumstance of their coming to the surface in such large
quantities as an extraordinary fact in the history of
fishing.—Brighton Herald.

MAGAZINES-(CONTINUED).
HOOD.

" Ignez de Castro" is brought to a conclusion
and, thong') a drama of singular inequality, is, never-
theless, a very clever performance. The author has
transported his whole soul back many centuries, and,
with the intuitive faculty of a poet, discriminated
characters whose bodies have long since crumbled
into dull clay. There is always a marvellous fascina-
tion in reading any work of an historico-remantic
cast, whether it be a novel, a drama, or what-not ;
and that fascination is in beholding revived to us
hearts that have years upon years before ceased
to beat, and features that have dwindled into
dust. To discern the possible causes of
some striking incident recorded in history,
to scrutinise in the cabinet some personage with
whom we are only familiar as the occupant of a
throne, the champion of a populace, the captain of an
army, or the counsellor of a Parliament, and to watch
the household movements of those hitherto only dis-
played to us in their public capacity, constitute the
principal charms of historical romance, and in a
manner elevate it above all other species of imagina-
tive composition. In selecting this style of pen-
craft, however, a writer entails upon himself a
heavy responsibility; he renders himself accountable
for all the misapprehensions of facts formed by his
reader; the memoirs of the past great and good are
committed in a measure to his care ; he may become
at pleasure the moral assassin or the apotheosist of
some illustrious name. The dead and living alike
look to him for an honest narration of occurrences,
and a candid exposition of bygone humanity.
Unless an historical romancer be armed with
the panoply of impartiality, he degenerates into
a garbling gossip ; and unless that impartiality
be again tempered by intrepidity and self-con-
fidence, the author sinks under the burden of
his self-imposed • responsibility. Mr. Jones has
clad himself with this armour of impartiality, and
animated himself with this courage. In this respect
his tragedy is singularly successful. We are grati-
fied to observe that " Ignez de Castro " is about to
be republished separately. " A Word with Dr.
Johnson " is a most audacious assault upon the
judgment of the monster critic, Samuel Johnson ; and
that, too, on his monster criticism, William Shak-
spere. The impeachment, however, thus ventured
upon is one sustained by its own inherent
justice. There are no plausibilities about
the arguments employed against the great
Doctor; but simple home-truths. Nor is this paper
a mere castigation of a blundering criticism—it is a
splendid panegyric upon the greatest poet the world
ever saw; and, according to the German enthusiasts,
the greatest poet the world ever will see ! We com-
mend those who are blessed with a curiosity in litera-
ture (we don't mean one a la Disraeli) to peruse this
" Word with Dr. Johnson, commenced commenced in the two
Hood'spreceding numbers ofl Magazine, and con-
cluded in the number for October. "Blanche Neville"
and "Nell Gwynne" are continued, and the plot
of each gets more and more delightfully entangled.
The residue of this periodical is dedicated to certain
unset jewels, some of which, however, turn out, on
investigation, to be mere glass and tinfoil. Never-
theless there are some excellencies among these frag-
ments, as, for example, the three " Sonnets for the
Times," addressed to the Champions of Civil and
Religious Liberty. We observe that this author has a
most lamentable facility, month after month, of mur-
dering his admirable Rural Sonnets by alterations,
which we regard a 3 anything but improvements.
" Let well alone" is a sensible maxim.

gate, stone wall, or very thick cover, take off your copper
caps. In the event of your ramrod sticking fast in your
gun, do not allow a clod to try to extract it with his
teeth, but having removed the cap, force the ramrod
home by knocking the end of it against a tree. To these
I will add two maxims, the one from Hawker, the other
From Daniel. The Colonel thus writes Never suffer
a gun at any time to be held for a moment so as to be
likely to come in the direction of either man or beast.'
And the author of 'Field Sports' gives the following ex-
cellent advice shooting with a stranger, who
perhaps keeps his gun cocked, and muzzles usually
pointed to the left, plead for the right hand station, and
urge that you cannot hit a bird flying to the left : with
a gamekeeper take the right hand without ceremony.' "
With its usual statistics and light reading, the
Sporting Review is almost worthy a Jewess' eye.

SIMMONDS'S COLONIAL MAGAZINE.
Decidedly the most intelligent contribution in the
present autumnal number is the one entitled " Can-
not England's Colonies do, more for their Mother
Country ?" What we. glean from the writer as his
paramount recommendations are, first, "to encourage
our native fisheries with more liberality than here
;" secondly, " to introduce a radical reform in
the treatment of internal pauperism ;" and thirdly,
to remodel our existing system of emigration, and to
afford greater encouragement to the colonisation of
distant and more fruitful regions of the globe. Many
sagacious hints are scattered through the article ;
and its general character is so eminently suggestive
of good that we can award it our cordial commenda-
tion, though many of its arguments are in direct con-
tradiction to our own opinions. A singular poem,
entitled " Brotherly Love ; written by Abd-el-Kader
on his separation from his brothers," is here given
from the literal translation published in French.
The heart of the heroic Emir is warmed by the
domestic affections as well as elated by ambition.
Mr. Hooton's " Peregrinations in Texas," the paper
on the origin of basaltic columns, the continuation of
" Reminiscences of Cuba," and the contribution on
" Colonial .Postage Reform," are all eminently de-
serving of consideration, as is the magazine generally.

THE OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE REVIEW.

We cannot possibly coincide in the strictures con-
tained in this monthly organ upon the very liberal
scheme of education for the people, propounded by Dr.
Hook, the clever and industrious Vicar of Leeds.
There are undoubtedly many incongruities in his pro-
position, but nevertheless they are such incongruities
as might be modified. It is not surprising, how-
ever, that an extraordinary diversity of opinion should
be entertained upon a matter so peculiarly difficult to
adjust to the satisfaction of all In a country where
there are so many varieties of religions as in Eng-
land, and in a country. where there is both a church
establishment, and a sincere yearning for the attain-
ment of civil and religious liberty, it is but natural
that an endeavour to concoct some universal plan of
education should be hampered by prejudices against
this point, and partialities in favour of that. How-
beit it is neither for a single pamphlet like that
written by Dr. Walter Farquhar Hook, excellent as
that pamphlet is in itself, nor for an anonymous con-
tributor to a monthly periodical, to fabricate any
scheme likely to be precisely fitted for the adoption
of the Government. It is for a variety of ideas to
be elicited from the intelligent members of
the community in this and various other ways,
and for the Ministers to arrive at some ultimate reso-
lution through the guidance of their own wisdom and
the collation of those different ideas. The plan which
must in the end receive the approval of the Legisla-
ture for the education of the people will have first to
pass through the crucible of public discussion, then.

cipate, neither can we have the temerity to hope, that
this most difficult problem can be solved with any-
thing like precipitation. The ultimatum must be the
result of arduous inquiry and protracted investigation.
Still it must be matter of congratulation to all those
who are interested in the well-being of their fellow
countrymen to reflect that the present Administration
is the one most peculiarly identified with the progress
of national education. Entering office at the moment
when monopoly is for ever annihilated, and free trade
incorporated with the spirit of the Constitution, the
noble Premier, now ruling the destinies of this coun-
try, finds himself pledged, not merely to promote
those commercial principles, but to watch over the
sanatory condition, and to insure, if possible, the
better education of the inhabitants of Great Britain.
Knowing the lofty expectations formed for his admi-
nistration, and looking forward upon the mysterious
futurity of his Government, he might exclaim, in the
words of Virgil-
" •
• . Major rerun mihi nascitur ordo;
Majus opus moveo."
Let us have no trepidation ; but bide the time, san-
guine and confident as to our ulterior success.
Among the other interesting contents of the Oxford
and Cambridge Review, we must particularly men-
tion an article upon " The Colliery and Mining Dis-
tricts," an article brimming over with benevolence.
A " Sunny Spot" at Sermione is an elegant and
classic chapter.
