THE FAMILY HERALD. Part XXXV/I.

Among the penny periodicals this stands undoubtedly
at the very head, both for the quantity, merit, and pro-
priety of its literary contents. It is quite a microcosm
of tales, legends, and essays.

THE KNIGHT OF G WYNNE. No. VII. By

Charles Lever.

If this is not the pleasantest fiction ever written by
Harry Lorrequer," it unquestionably contains the
pleasantest character ever drawn by that redoutable
scribe. Bagenal Daly is beautifully conceived, and no
less beautifully described ' • the mixture of conviviality,
generosity, eccentricity, daring, and independence in
this " fine old Irish gentleman " (whose disposition, we
are afraid, is solely " one of the olden time,") is most
happily managed. Bagenal Daly, for a travelling com-
panion and any road would prove agreeable. In
Number VII., the story is rather at a stand-
still ; it is almost entirely composed of preparations
fur the removal of the Knight's family to a queer little
domain belonging to Bagenal, on the Antrim coast ; in
this said domain Daly's sister is first introduced to the
reader. Towards the conclusion of the last chapter,
when Maurice returns home to Gwynne Abbey, in the
midst of carousing, a capital contretemps is introduced,
and is cleverly illustrated by Hablot Browne.

THE FORTUNES OF TORLOGH O'BRIEN.
No. IV.

Whoever is the author of the tale of the wars of King
James 11., he will, in it, produce a better work than his
former novel of " The Cock and Anchor." The present
number is immeasurably superior to any that has
hitherto appeared ; the incidents are more startling, the
colloquies more spirited, and the composition altogether
of a higher character. Tisdal's interview with the black
guest of Drumgonnial is horribly well described, and
horribly well etched by Phiz ; the rather questionable
preservation of Glindarragh Castle from the Irish in-
surgents is brilliantly told ; and as Colonel Torlogh
O'Brien the hero, is brought more into the society of the
heroine, we may expect the interest of the narrative to
increase.

SHARPE'S LONDON MAGAZINE.

The variety, quantity, and cheapness of this publica-
tion are remarkable. And, though the embellishments
aro capable of improvement, the literary matter can-
not be objected to either in regard to interest or compo-
sition. Whatever contributions are not original are
choice cullings from our greatest poetical and prose
writers, and this latter circumstance we may particu-
larise as the chief excellence of Mr. Sharpe's periodical.
The whole is carefully edited; and perhaps the best con-
tribution in the present number is " The History of
Gardening;" we wonder the subject is so seldom treated
in a popular manner.

THE HEROINES OF SHAKSPERE. Part 111.

A very beautiful book this will form when completed,
and one which will redound much to the credit of both
artists and engravers. A companion volume of the
heroes of the great dramatist would, we are assured,
prove a glorious and acceptable successor to the present
publication. No book-lover would disdain to enshrine
such works in his library ; they would embellish his
studies and assist his imagination. " Juliet" is scarcely
worthy of that most etherial ideal of love ever con-
jured up by poet ; but what pencil, indeed, save possibly
that of "the divine Raphael," could picture Juliet
worthily ?

OLD ENGLAI'D'S WORTHIES. Part VI.
Already has this serial received our commendation as
a work likely to afford considerable instruction to the
multitude. We can now only subjoin to that commen-
dation, that it is worthy of its clever and spirited pub-
lisher, Mr. Charles Knight.

JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE.

As decidedly the most useful paper in the Journal of
Agriculture for July, the " Farmer's Note Book," de-
serves especial mention. In this, the twelfth number of
the series, the comparative merits of manures are given;
also a collection of admirable memoranda respecting the
treatment of pigs ; notes upon the chemical nature of
grass and hay ; the best mode of manufacturing Cheshire
cheese ; and advice as to the cultivation of the filbert
nut. That paper alone is worth double the price of the
whole of this quarterly. There is likewise a judicious
article on " Insurance Societies for Farm Stock," and a
kind of supplemental inquiry into the progress and
causes of the " Potato Disease." The number is par-
ticularly utilitarian.

OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE REVIEW.

Anxious, without doubt, for the continuance of the
acknowledged organ of that party with which his name
has become so intimately (and we may add so honour-
ably) associated, Lord John Manners is now periodically
throwing in the prestige of his title and the literary ad-
vantages of his talent as a contributor to the Oxford and
Cambridge _Review. The historical ballads written by
the Noble Lord display very considerable glibness of
rhythm and a remarkable knowledge of the sccial con-
dition and politics of the remoter periods of English
history. No. 111. of this interesting series is upon
" Lord Strafford opening the Irish Parliament, July 14,
1634." Notwithstanding a certain exaggeration of style
in the philanthropy inculcated by the " New Generation,"
there is a peculiar beauty and earnestness about it into
the bargain. There is a touching simplicity of heart in
the hungering of love expressed by the Young En-
landers for the olden days ; and, however extravagant
their love may be occassionally, we cannot but respect
the boldness with which they avow their partialities.
As a specimen of the gentlemanly yet decisive tone in
which the new generation can advocate even a " lost
cause," and do so, moreover, very speciously and
cleverly, we may mention the dissertation in favour of
" The Country Party"—a dissertation suggested by the
Parliamentary speeches of Lord Stanley, the Marquis of
Granby, and Mr. Disraeli. We cannot fritter away
even a single moment in disclosing the sophisms of that
article, because those sophisms have been exposed by
reiteration usque ad nauseam, and because, moreover, we
believe in the veracity of the old saying, " None are so
blind as those who won't see!" But we must, in bidding
1 farewell to the discussions which have madly proof*

HOUSE OF COMMONS.

GROUP XVII.
MANCHESTER AND SOUTHAMPTON, AND
SOUTH-WESTERN (ROMSEY AND RED..
BRIDGE BRANCH).

The Committee assembled this morning at twelve o'clock,
the Hon. E. I.'-o7ke in the chair.

Mr. ALEXANDER said the promoters of the Manchester
and Southampton Bill given the suggestions thrown out
yesterday by the Hon. AL::!nber for Macclesfield (Mr.
Brocklehurst), with respect to tilc line from Romsey to
Southampton being made jointly by both companies, and
used in common by them, the most serious attention, and he
begged to state that they were willing to carry Out that
suggestion with the sanction of the Committee. A :4111ilar
practice to the one suggested prevailed on various railway e—
on the Glasgow and Ayr, and the Glasgow and Greenock,
both of which in entering Glasgow used one line ; the
Brighton and South-Eastern, from Croydon to Reigate, and
'the Shropshire and; Birmingham and Shropshire Union,
also had agreed to execute one line to be used in common
on entering Wellington. Thera were a number of other
instances of lines being under a joint sovereignty. It was
for the Committee to say whether this plan should be adopted
on the lines before them.

Mr. HILL regretted that this offer had not been communi-
cated to the South-Western Company in time for them to
give it their consideration, and to either accept or decline
the offer this morning. He could give no reply on the sub-
ject, and must, therefore, leave it in the hands of the
Committee.

Mr. BROCKI.EITURST said he was only anxious to protect
the interests of the South• Western Company, because he
thought they were entitled to consideration, and that was
his only object in throwing out the suggestions referred to.
Mr. HILL, having referred to various objections which he
said could not fail to result from such an amalgamation, pro-
ceeded to address the Committee on behalf of the South-
Western against the Manchester and Southampton. He
complained of misrepresentations in the prospectus of the
company with respect to the distance between Manchester
and Southampton by London, which they stated was the
only communication, whereas lines had been sanctioned by
Parliament, from Reading by Oxford to Rugby, which would
form a better mode of communication, and would, in addition,
be completed beftre the Manchester and Southampton. They
set forth that the existing railway was 64 miles longer than
by their line, but by the lines authorised would give a better
and shorter communication, as their length was 2311
as contrasted with the length of the proposed line, 2161 miles
by way of Birmingham, and by way of Wolverhampton,
212 i miles, which he held did not justify the conatructiozi of a
new line of railway. Then the Board of Trade, the House
of Commons, and the Gauge Commissioners reported against
the construction of a new line from the south to the north,
through Bristol or Swindon, and recommended, if such 11
line were required, that it should be made by way of Oxford.
London, England, 1846-07-07

• ‘c -1

Southampton should amalgamate with the South-Wester*
from Romsey to Southampton, and use their terminus.
Mr. Sergeant WRANGIIAM considered that this would_ be
most objectionable, and hoped the Committee would not de..—
prive them of a separate terminus at Southampton
The Committee then adjourned until to-morrow.

IBRAHIM PACHA.

The following deputation from the Oriental Club waited,
on Saturday, upon his Highness Ibrahim Pacha, to request
his Highness to give the club the honour of his company at
any convenient day :—Tbe Right Hon. Sir Henry Pottinger,
G.C.8.; the Right Hon. Holt Mackenzie; Sir T. Edward
Colebrooke, Bart., M P. ; Major. General Sir John Doveton,
K.C.B. ; George William Anderson, Esq. ; Major-General
Delamotte, C.B. ; Lieutenant-Colonel Montgomerie, C. 8.;
John M. Macleod, Esq. His Highness received the de-
putation in the most gracious manner, and was pleased to
fix Friday, the 10th instant, for the entertainment. Lord
Auckland in the chair.

Shortly afterwards the Pacha left Mivart's Hotel, accom-
panied by Sami Pacha, Col. Bonfort, M. Nubar, and Major
C. Dickson, for the Birmingham Railway station at Euston-
square, and from thence proceeded by♦ railway to Wat-
ford to see the process of making paper. By an arrangement
made prior to his leaving town, he visited the extensive
paper-mills of Mess. s. W. Lepard, Smith, and Co. It is well
known that, although the Pacha has been brought up in the
military profession, he has a great taste for manufactures,
and never allows an opportunity to escape when a novelty
either in art or manufacturing science presents itself. His
Highness was most desirous to see the mode in which our
superior paper was made, paper of British manufacture being
now generally used in Egypt. The Pacha was conducted
over the mills by Mr. Smith. His Highness closely watched
the various processes, and expressed himself highly pleased
by the visit he had made.

'His Highness and suite returned to town by the railway,
and en route to Mivart's the Pacha went to the gardens of
the Zoological Society in the Regent's-park, where his High-
ness was occupied nearly two hours in viewing the collection
of animals and birds belonging to the society.
The Pacha and party returned to Mivart's shortly after
six o'clock, and forthwith prepared to go to the entertain-
ment given by the Peninsular and Oriental Steam Naviga-
tion Company, at the Albion Hotel, Aldersgate-street. At
the termination of the splendid dinner the Pacha and the
whole of his suite repaired to Viscountess Palmerston's
assembly.
_ _

On Sunday afternoon the Pacha, accompanied by Sami
Pacha, Colonel Bonfort, and M. Nubar, took a drive in
Hyde-park and the Regent's-park, and then returned to
dinner.

At half-past eight in the evening the carriages were
again ordered, and his Highness, similarly attended, went
out for a carriage airing in the neighbourhood of the me-
tropolis.

The Pacha has accepted an invitation to dine with Vis-
count and Viscountess Palmerston on the 13th inst.
On Wednesday next his Highness is to be entertaimed by
the East India Company.

Tables of increasing premiums have been formed on a plan pecu-

creasing ,'uring the first five years, after which a mdform premium
is paid during the remainder of 11Ie.

This table is not only suitable to those who, from the prospect of
an increasing income or other circumstances, prefer paying a smaller
sum during the first few years, but is also decidedly the best mode

only offered 175 bags Madras, which sold at 42s to 43s for

JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE.
As decidedly the most useful paper in the Journal of
Agriculture for July, the " Farmer's Note Book," de-
serves especial mention. In this, the twelfth number of
the series, .the comparative merits of manures are given;
also a collection of admirable memoranda respecting the
treatment of pigs ; notes upon the chemical nature of
grass and hay ; the best mode of manufacturing Cheshire
cheese ; and advice as to the cultivation of the filbert
nut. That paper alone is worth double the price of the
whole of this quarterly. There is likewise a judicious
article on " Insurance Societies for Farm Stock," and a
kind of supplemental inquiry into the progress and
causes of the " Potato Disease." The number is par-
ticularly utilitarian.

PLYMOUTH.

(FROM OUR CORRESPONDENIL)
PLYMOUTH, SUNDAY.—We are animated by the prospect
of a contested election here. The candidates in the field are
Viscount Ebrington. the late Member, and Mr. Henry Vin-
cent, the well-known lec:arer.

The intelligence of the acceptance of office of Lord Ebring-
ton, and that a new writ had been granted, • arrived here
simultaneously, and was made known principally by means
of the late edition of The Sun of Friday, which circulates
here about ten o'clock in the morning. For some time after
it was known that there would be an election it was uncer-
tain whether or not there would be a contest, the more
general opinion being that there would be none.
Some of the parties who had been connected with the
Complete Suffrage Association, formed here about two years
since, meantime bethought themselves of Henry Vincent,
who, very opportunely for their purposes, happened to have
been here flu. a week or two last past. An interview with
Mr. Vincent was sought, and after some debate it appears
that that gentleman consented to offer himself as a can•
didate.
The starting of Mr. Vincent as a candidate is so unex-
pected that the friends of Lord Ebrington have not yet had
time to make any movement in reference thereto, but they
feel satisfied that his Lordship's return is sure.

COMMERCIAL.

BREADSTUFFS.—The market is a little better, with more
sales. A lot of prime Genesee sold at 4 dole. 25c., and some
indifferent at 4 dole. 1834 c. Michigan
.held at 4 dots. to
4 dole. 63/4c.
Corroe.—Another quiet day in this article, and sales
small. Buyers are not disposed to enter the market at pre-
sent rates, and holders, in view of a more prosperous state of'
trade a-head, and a short supply of the staple, seem disposed
to be firm at present prices.

TAUNTON.

SATURDAY, JULY 4.—The acceptance of office by the re-
spected Member for this borough, the Right Honourable
Henry Labouchere, was hailed here with a feeling of uni •
versal satisfaction, for although Taunton is purely an agri-
cultural town, yet the majority of its inhabitants have ever
been Reformers, and the late measure for the repeal of the
Corn-laws has met here here with general support. Indeed
we know not how adequately to convey the "very great
change of feeling which has taken place here among the
Conservative party since the election of 1841. Then, al-
though not the majority, they were a very powerful party,
as was shown by their support of Mr. Wilberforce and Mr.
Hall, and they were also rigid protectionists—now they are
not a less powerful party, but by far the greater number of
them have abandoned protection, and are conscientious con-
verts to free-trade principles. The writ was received here
this morning, and the Bailiffs have fixed Friday next for the
election.

WORCESTER.
SATURDAY, Jute! 4.—The writ for a fresh election for this
city, in consequence of Sir Thomas Wilde being again ap-
pointed to the office of Attorney-General, was received by
this morning's post, and the sheriff immediately made pro-
clamation of the same, and appointed 'Wednesday next for
the election. An address to the electors from the Attorney-
General has just appeared.
The friends of the Learned Knight meet him on Monday
morning to offer their aid in his re-election; a tender of ser-
vices, however, scarcely needed, for not the slightest op-
position will be offered to the unanimous wish for his re-
election.

AMERICAN NEWS.
ARRIVAL OF THE CAMBRIDGE.
LIVERPOOL, MONDAY.

The packet-ship Cambridge, Captain Barstow, arrived in
the Mersey this morning, with intelligence from New York
of the 17th ult. inclusive.

The presentation of the Oregon treaty to the Senate had
been delayed, in consequence of the resignation, by Mr.
Allen, of the chairmanship of the Committee on Foreign
Affairs. Mr. Allen, it appears, desired to discuss the original
communication of the President upon the subject with open
doors. An unsuccessful attempt had been made in the
lower branch of Congress to excite public feeling against the
terms of the c•mpromise.

The New Tariff Bill had at length come before Congress
for discussion, backed by a message from the President,
urging the necessity of revising the commercial system of
the Union, in order to meet the increased expenditure result-
ing from the Mexican war. The President also recommended
an additional issue of Treasury notes.
We have no further accounts from the seat of hostilities.
Exchange on Loudon, 108 to 10814, three months.

(From the correspondence of the New York Sun.)
WASHINGTON, JUNE 16.—The treaty was not sent into
the Senate yesterday, owing to the resignation of the Chair-
man of the Committee on Foreign Affairs. The vacancy
will be supplied by an election to-day, when this document
will be transmitted. It will be necessary to refer it to that
committee for their reasons for recommending its adoption,
which will be embodied in a formal report.
Mr. Walker, having recovered from his illness, will lay
his communication before the Senate to-day on the tariff and
the finances. It will recommend an increase of duty on tea,
coffee, and other articles, from 20 to 30 per cent., which he
estimates will afford an increase of three or four millions of
dollars in the revenue. An issue of 12,000,000 dollars in
Treasury notes will also be recommended in preference to
a loan.

SHARPE'S LONDON MAGAZINE.
The variety, quantity, and cheapness of this publica-
tion are remarkable. And, though the embellishments
are capable of improvement, the literary matter can-
not be objected to either in regard to interest or compo-
sition. Whatever contributions are not original are
choice cullings from our greatest poetical and prose
writers, and this latter circumstance we may particu-
larise as the chief excellence of Mr. Sharpe's periodical.
The whole is carefully edited; and perhaps the best con-
tribution in the present number is " The History of
Gardening;" we wonder the subject is so seldom treated
in a popular manner.

THE HEROINES OF SHAKSPERE. Part 111.

A very beautiful book this will form when completed,
and one which will redound much to the credit of both
artists and engravers. A companion volume of the
heroes of the great dramatist would, we are assured,
prove a glorious and acceptable successor to the present
publication. No book-lover would disdain to enshrine
such works in his library ; they would embellish his
studies and assist his imagination. " Juliet" is scarcely
worthy of that most etherial ideal of love ever con-
jured up by poet ; but what pencil, indeed, save possibly
that of "the divine Raphael," could picture Juliet
worthily ?

OLD ENGLAAD'S WORTHIES. Part VI.
Already has this serial received our commendation as
a work likely to afford considerable instruction to the
multitude. We can now only subjoin to that commen-
dation, that it is worthy of its clever and spirited pub-
lisher, Mr. Charles Knight.
