COLLECTION OF ENGLISH SONGS.

This volume contains songs of every possible de-
scription, especially those most popular in the present
day. It will be found very comprehensive in its cha-
racter and complete in its details. If the compiler
had been more particular in his selections the collec-
tion would have possessed a higher value to the re-
fined reader, but, as it is, it contains sufficient to suit
the tastes of all.

MAGAZINES, &c.—(CONTINUED).
DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE.

The opening paper, " Chatterton, a Story of the
Year 1770," details the early portion of the biography
of that extraordinary genius, who perished miserably
at so early an age, and contains some excellent ob-
servations on the character and writings of the boy-
poet of Bristol. In " Leaves from the Portfolio of a
Manager" a peep behind the scenes during the re-
hearsal of a pantomime is described with paramount
humour and gusto. A life•like portrait of Mr. M.
W. Balfe illustrates a memoir of the talented and
popular conductor of music to her Majesty's Theatre.
" Five Months in an Ancient Irish City" is the title
of a tale nearly as stupid as the locality of the adven-
tures therein related, which we have no difficulty in
discerning to be that collection of dismal and dilapi-
dated hovels, yclept, in the sounding phraseology of
the Ballingarry pathriots, "Cashel of the Kings."
The other articles are a continuation of " Maurice
Tierney;" a very well written notice of the "Me-
moirs of Wordsworth ;" a lucid, impartial, and truth-
ful survey of the present condition of Ireland, denomi-
nated "The Day after the Storm ;" and a review of
sundry bards of the present day in a capital contri•
bution dubbed "Weeds, Wild Flowers, and Waste
Paper." The scourging given in the latter to two
frightful effusions of a luckless poetaster named
Breen, viz., " The Diamond Rock" and " The
Monks of Latrappe," enhanced by extracts: from
those outrageous lays, is eminently delightful. It is
really doing the republic of letters good service to
gibbet, without mercy, such flagitious poachers on
the sacred precincts of Parnassus. " Frontenac," a
poem written by a gentleman who glories in the
name of Street, and who, on that account alone,
cannot object to be " walked into," gets some merited
cayenne administered, whilst commendation is fairly
meted to Scott's " Lelio," and some minor contri-
butions to the realms of poesy by other aspirants to
renown. " Lelio" the reviewer pronounces to be "a
poem full to overflowing of the tenderest teaching,
possessing much grace and power, and favourably
distinguished from . many of its class by a pure
morality, and an enlightened but undoubting Chris-
tianity." What on earth has become of Jonathan
Freke Slingsby for the last couple of months ? The
magazine cannot afford to lose so sweet and pure a
poet.

THE BRITISH GAZETTEER.
The present number of this admirable compilation
brings us as far as " Southampton." It is embellished
with an engraving of the Colesbrook Viaduct, near
Tunbridge Wells, and fully maintains the high cha-
racter which the British Gazetteer has already
achieved. ,

EXTRAORDINARY ACClDENT.—Yesterday an ex-
cursion train on the Great Western line brought up about
1,500 passengers from Gloucester, Stroud, and Cheltenham to
the Great Exhibition. This line of railway, between Stroud
and Tetbury, runs up a steep incline of about five miles
in length, terminating in a tunnel nearly two miles long, in
some parts of which the gradients are as high as 1 in 75 or
80. The train, which consisted of 23 carriages, arrived al
this incline in safety, and was propelled up it with sow°
difficulty by the joint efforts of two powerful engines, but on
its emerging from the tunnel on the London side it was di3"
covered that 11 of the carriages were become detached front
the train and remained behind. The utmost consternattu,wthase
caused by this discovery, especially as it was known ""
detached carriages must of necessity rush back down

seacoast would do well to provide themselves with Rowland's
Aqua d'Oro. This fragrant and spirituous perfume refreshes
and invigorates the system during the heat of summer, and
will be found an essential accompaniment for the opera, the
public assembly, and the promenade. In all cases of ex-
citement and over-exertion it will prove of great advantage
taken as a beverage, diluted with water. Row LA lip's KALY-
DOR will also prove a most refreshing preparation for the
lY
Com-
plexion, dispelling the cloud of languor and relaxation, ala y
ing all heat and irritability, and immediately affording the
pleasing sensation attending restored elasticity and healthful
state of the Skin. In cases of sun-burn or stings of insects,
its virtues are universally acknowledged. Sold by A. Rowland

The principle of protection to the voter in the ex-
ercise of his franchise has been affirmed by the House
of Commons for the second time during the present
Parliament. Twice has Mr. HENRY BERKELEY
succeeded in inducing the present House of Commons,
in spite of the opposition of the Ministry, to announce
to the electors of the United Kingdom that in their
opinion it is necessary that a measure should be
passed for the protection of the Parliamentary electors
of Great Britain and Ireland, by taking the votes by
way of ballot. We recommend all those who are,
or who hope to be possessed of the franchise,
all those who take an interest in the
cause of purity of election, all those who think that
it is not right that the " Bully of Politics," be he
landlord, customer, or employer, should have the
power of driving an elector to the polling-booth, and
there forcing him to give utterance to a lie, to atten-
tively study the masterly, most amusing, and as Mr.
HUME justly denominated it, the unanswerable speech
of the Hon. Member for Bristol. In order that the
opinion of the House might be distinctly taken on the
I question of the ballot, Messrs. HUME and DUNCOMBE
withdrew their amendments—for doing which they are
entitled to the gratitude of alltrue Reformers—and the
House of Commons by a majority of 87 to 50, gave
the Hon. Member for Bristol leave "to bring in a
Bill for the protection of the Parliamentary electors
of Great Britain and Ireland, by taking the votes by
way of ballot."
On a former occasion, when Mr. HENRY BERKELEY
succeeded in obtaining a majority on this question, we
were told by the opponents of the measure that it was
a surprise ; they cannot say that it was a surprise on
the present occasion_ At the commencement of
the session Mr. HENRY BERKELEY gave notice of
his intention to bring forward the question. It has
once, at least, been on the votes, and its supporters were
mustered, and it would most assuredly have been
brought forward on that occasion had not the motion of
Mr. COBDEN on the peace question, which occupied
the attention of the House during the whole of the
evening, had precedence. At the very next sitting
of the House, if we mistake not, Mr. HENRY BERKE-
LEY gave notice of his motion for the Bth July ;
and last evening before the ballot debate came on the
Ministers had been defeated by 139 to 122 on Lord
ROBERT GROSVENOR'S motion for a repeal of the
attcrne:;s' certificate duty, being the fifth defeat
they have received on that question ; so that it
is evident they had their "men" ready, and
that their def:at on the ballot was not
owing to any mere chance or surprise, but
to the feeling generally entertained by their sup-
porters, that the introduction of vote by ballot is
absolutely necessary to secure the purity of elections
by securing the electors from personal loss and injury.
It will be observed that Lord JOHN RUSSELL cautiously
abstained from speaking; from this we are inclined to
augur favourably; we consider that it betokens on
the part of his Lordship a disposition to give way to
the deliberately-expressed opinion of the House of
Commons, and to include the ballot in his forthcoming
measure of reform. We are the more inclined to
this opinion when we remember that at the time the
Reform Bill was first proposed by Lord JOHN Res-
SELL, as the organ of Lord GREY'S Government, it was
matter of general belief that the measure as originally
proposed to the Cabinet by Lord DURHAM, Lord
JOHN RUSSELL, and Sir JAMES GRAHAM, con-
tained a clause enacting that at all future
elections for Members of Parliament the votes
should be taken by ballot, which provision
was rejected by Lord GREY'S Cabinet by a majority
of one vote, and of one vote only. Lord JOHN Rus-
scu. has repudiated the absurd doctrine of finality ;
he has consented to introduce a measure for the
extension of the franchise, which is to all
intents and purposes a measure for extend-
ing the Reform Bill ; we trust, therefore, nay, we
believe, and expect that he will not hesitate to restore
the Reform Bill to its original efficiency by intro-
ducing into his promised measure of reform a
provision for taking votes at all future
elections by ballot. In the meantime, we
would urge upon all constituencies, more es-
pecially upon all large constituencies, the
bab-
solute necessity of strengthening the po.ition of Mr.

doubt but that a decided expression of opinion in fa-
vour of the ballot, on the part of the electoral body,
would go far in influencing the final determination of
Lord JOHN RUSSELL, should he be inclined to hesi-
tate on the subject.

Once more then we say, that such a question should
not be referred to mere officials; that beyond any other
it would require a free and unbiassed investigation
by independent Members, who would not be restricted
by the trammels of " red tapsry," but would give a
fair and straightforward verdict on the evidence•
Such an inquiry must take place sooner or later, and
every day's delay is exceedingly injurious to the
country.

Before concluding we would make one suggestion,
that could easily be carried into execution, except
on occasions, few and far between, when the state of
the weather might forbid communication at sea. The
packets from New York and all other stations are
obliged to pass close to the Irish coast, encountering
some of the most dangerous coast navigation in the
world. Would it not be perfectly feasible to have a
small steamer to meet the packet off the coast of
Cork, and take the mails for Ireland, and all
passengers who might desire to be landed
in that country ? Such a transhipment might be
effected with very trifling inconvenience and scarcely
any appreciable loss of timer; and we are quite sure
that if the Government, which ought to undertake
the matter, refused to bear the outlay, it would
readily be defrayed by the enterprising and intelli-
gent merchants and inhabitants of the city of Cork. Even
under the present circumstances such an experiment
might readily be made, and we believe it would exhibit

beyond the possibility of contradiction the great advan-
tages of a packet station on the south-west coast of
Ireland, at Berehaven or Valentia.

REUNION DES ARTS.—Last Monday evening this
society gave its 10th soirée to a very crowded and elegant
company, at 27, Queen Anne-street. Amongst the visitors we
noticed several distinguished foreign artistes. The musical
entertainment was very numerous and most excellent, to
which Mr. Goffrie, Mr. Heimberger (a Pole), the two brothers
Henen Liitgen, Mine. Vendarainne, Mme. Lemaire,
Johansen, Mr. Chatterton, Mr. Derigne, and a juvenile per-
former, Mon. Raneheraye, greatly contributed, amidst the
enthusiastic applause of the whole company. Haydn's
Quartet, Opus 81, was admirably performed by Mr. Goffrie,
Mr. Heimberger, Herr Liitgen and his brother. The solo
performances by Mme. Verdarainne, in passages from Norma,
on the piano and guitar were most exquisite, as was the
solo on the violin by Mr. Heimberger, which he played with
great feeling and purity. Mine. Lemaire in her Spanish,
and Mdlle. Johansen in her Swedish, songs were successively
applauded, and the evening was prolonged to an unusually late
hour.

HARWICH ELECTION PETITION,—.The Committee
to try the merits of this petition were nominated this day,
Mr. Deedes, M.P., chairman. The inquiry will be that of
scrutiny. Mr. Edwin James, Q.C., and Mr. Phinn, are
retained for the sitting Member, and Mr. Sergeant Kinglake
and Mr. Smith for Mr. Prinsep, the petitioner.
The funeral of the late Colonel Dyce Sombre took
place yesterday morning, at eleven o'clock, from his late re-
sidence, 8 a, Davies-street, Berkeley-square. The funeral
was conducted by Mr. Taylor, of Lower Seymour-street, and
was strictly private. The attendants' were confined to his
two brothers-in-law and the relatives of Mrs. Oyce Sombre.

The Commissioners appointed to inquire and report
on the Transatlantic Packet Station, unquestionably
took a very narrow and prejudiced view of the im-
portant subject referred for their consideration. They
appear to have not only altogether disregarded the
claims of Ireland, and the convenience of that im-
portant portion of her MAJESTY'S dominions, but
they also lost sight of the south-western districts of
England, which bad some right to be heard in the
matter. The correspondence and passengers for Ireland,
as well as fur Bristol and the southern counties, were to be carried far beyond their debtination at I
