assailable basin.

Suppose this year the Government took up
;he two bills affecting Ecclesiastical Courts—
hose relating to Testamentary and Matrimonial
craters—and determined to put them into a
shape in which no predilections were consulted,

no extravagant sacrifice made to vested abuses,
and a new court provided on a plan, at once eco-
nomical and honest to the public—a court con-
structed for the people's use, not for lawyers'
fees—does any one doubt that such a proposal
could, with a little resolution, be carried ? and
would not the Ministry which gave the coup de
grace to the detested Ecclesiastical Courts be re-
membered almost as much as the Ministry who
gave peace and all her territories again to Rus-
sia ? Nor would the Cabinet be soon forgotten
which let daylight into the London Corporation,
or which boldly made it a Corporation for all Lon-
don, and not for a fraction of it merely.
It is, however, needless to enter into details.
We have indicated what we think the Govern-
ment ought to do if it means to get creditably
through another session, or, perhaps, to get

through it at all. In all probability next year will
be the last for the present Parliament. Members,
as well as the Government, will be anxious to
place themselves in a good position with their
supporters ; the Ministry must bring them mea-
sures deserving their support, or calculate upon
losing if rather than lose their seats. Slovenly
got up bills will not answer for a Parliament that
may soon be dissolved, and slovenly they will be
if Ministers do not regard it as their grand busi-
hess during the prorogation to elaborate their
measures for the coming session. Of political
measures we have said nothing ; it were absurd
to expect political reforms from Lord PALMER-
STON. Heaven knows we need them enough. The
Ballot and a vastly enlarged constituency must be
concAed in due time ; but we conceive the present
Premier to be opposed to all popular reforms. If
he saw them to be inevitable, ho would joke their
opponents as to the figure they cut in resisting
them ; but we do not remember a single measure
ror conferring power on the people which he ever
Advocated on its own merits. We should expect
ts much in that line from Lord STANLEY, a Mr.
GLADSTONE, or even from Sir JOHN PAKINGTON,
,lot to mention Mr. WALronn of the militia fran-
chise, as from Lord PALMERSTON. The most to
be thought of from him is a fair list of legal and
iocial reforms ; but to carry these next session he
must not wait till January before he begins to
p repare.

Upwards of half a century ago a lad of sixteen,
vitli a few rupees in his pocket, entered on the
':alz of business life in India. Had any of his
3ontemporaries been required at that time to
vaticinate his career, ita all probability years of
mxiety and toil, rewarded by a moderate compe-
-ence barely sufficient to meet his frugal wants,
vould have been the most favourable result. For
the lad did. not belong to the ruling caste, had no
powerful patron—was, in point of fact, a heathen,
Sprung from a subjugated race in a British depen-
dency to which Englishmen repaired to make, by
hook or crook, their fortunes. The young Parsee,
however, like all his people, was intelligent and
frugal in his habits, but, unlike most of them,
3nterprising and self-reliant, as well as industrious.
PROVIDENCE smiled on his efforts ; rupees flowed
on rupees in his stores, and it became evident he
was a rising man. He became of service to the
ruling caste, and the ruling caste took notice of
him. A career calculated to gratify the ambition
of a Parsee lay open to him, and, relaxing no
endeavour, and maintaining a character for
probity not always acquired by the European,
and still seldomer by the Indian adven-
turer, he persevered until he became more
than Parsee had ever been beforo, suc-
cessful as some had been, a merchant prince,
worthy to rank with the greatest merchant
princes of England, and, as a crowning distinc-
tion, knelt by command before her Majesty the
QUEEN, and rose Sir JAINISELIEE JEJEEBLIOY, Kllt.,
the first of his race on whom the honour has
been conferred.

The story so far illustrates the value of energy,
probity, intelligence, and self-reliance to aspirants
for wealth and distinction in the mercantile
career, under unfavourable circumstances ; and,
to a certain extent, speaks well for the character
of British rule. What we have narrated, how-
ever, is the mere outline or husk of our Parsee's
life. More than a rising adventurer, or a great
merchant prince, Sir JAMSETJEE JEJEEBIIOY has
been, from the dawning of prosperity upon him,
a great public benefactor. The wealth he ac-
quired was not wholly sunk in new adventures,
nor, when the harvest may be said to have been
reaped, was it garnered exclusively for his own
personal use. The man's life was princely, and
immense sums were disbursed by him with a lavish
hand. Other men have done the like before his
day, and others in all probability will do so after.
Bat there was this peculiarity about the Parsee
merchant—his gifts flowed not from an ostenta-
tious, but from a benevolent heart, and were
directed into their channels by an intelligent and
discriminating mind. Emphatically he was—he
is—a great public benefactor—the friend alike of
the Parsee, of India, and of Englishmen !
His countrymen toiling beneath a broiling sun
lacked water. He sunk wells, constructed tanks,
built aqueducts even, to assuage their thirst. A
road was required for the public convenience, a
river was to be spanned. JAMSETJEE JEJEEBHOY
laid out the road and built the bridge. The suf-
fering of his fellow-countrymen from accident and
disease passed before hi;n—ho did not dole out a
few rupees—he built them an hospital. This
was not enough, though it involved a victory
over native prejudice—he supplied the students
)f the hospitals with books and offered prizes
for their emulation. For the helpless and the
distressed he provided a " Home of Charity."
All this he did spontaneously and at his own cost,
His charity did not end here—it took a yet
higher flight and a, more expansive range. It
ranscended the barrier of country, and came to
the relief of our fellow-countrymen in the year
of famine, when so many Scotch and Irish homes
became desolate, fever finishing but too often
what unsatisfied hunger had begun. To British
'enius, valour, and devotion, his heart was
large enough and his mind capacious enough
o pay unmistakeable homage. To the WELLING.
TON Testimonial he was among the most liberal
contributors, and to the Patriotic Fund his dons-
'.ion was 7501. On public works and charities he
has expended no less a sum than a quarter of a
; and now that his career, in the course
f nature, must be well nigh finished, we find
him in negotiation with Government for the insti-
tution of a School of Dosigu in India, to which he
proposes to contribute 10,000/.
Such a public benefactor as this deserves to be
honoured in his lifetime on the theatre of his good
deeds ; and the testimonial now being got up at
Bombay in recognition of his services to humanity,
however striking, is not likely to exceed his
deserts. The Parsee merchant has set an example
which the proudest and the most benevolent

The crafty and far-seeing policy of Russia took
umbrage at these proceedings, while England, of ea
too careless of contingent dangers, and perhaps too
confident in the promises of the Czar, looked on
with unconcern, and France, agitated by internal
dissensions, could take no part in foreign events.
It was therefore at the instigation of the Rus-
sian Cabinet that the conferences of London (in
May, 1852) settled the succession of King Frede-
rick, last descendant of the ancient line of Olden-
burg, upon a prince of Holstein Glucksburg, thus
conferring eventual rights on the Imperial family
of Russia, as heirs to the House of Holstein. It
required the powerful intimidation of Russia, and
the 'utmost influence of the reactionary Ministry at
home, to induce the nation to adopt a measure so
repugnant to their feelings and interests, and this
bill only passed the representative body by a
trifling majority.
The heir apparent is at no pains to conceal his
Russian tendencies, and succeeded during the late
war in getting up a very hostile feeling towards
the allies among the higher classes of society. The
body of the nation, however, in spite of Russian
intrigues, German propagandism, and the neglect
of the Western Powers, still adheres to the sister
kingdoms, and looks to them for succour against
the dangers from the East and South. The treaty
of the 21st of November, which has for ever se-
vered the old tie between Sweden and Russia, has
signally contributed to this result.
Denmark is divided into two perfectly distinct
parties—the real Danes and the Germans ; they
are separated by their language, tastes, habits, and
even their interior organization. One or other must
necessarily conquer, as any real reconciliation be-
tween such discordant elements is out of the ques-
tion. The fierce war from 1848 to 1852 has
widened the breach, and even since the peace per-
petual bickerings and serious quarrels are matters
of daily occurrence. Some vehement recriminations
on the part of the Duchies have recently added
fresh fuel to the flames of national animosity.
Holstein, which is entirely German, is governed
by a rich and powerful aristocracy, whereas Den-
mark, since 1848, has embraced democratic prin-
ciples, and leans towards the doctrine of political
equality. The-former seeks a refuge in the arms
of the German Confederation, the latter looks upon
Scandinavism as its only chance of safety.
Nothing but a complete separation of such hete-
rogeneous elements can restore peace to the coun-
try, and on this point both Danes and Germans are
agreed. Everything tends to restore Holstein to
the mother country, at d Jutland and the islands
to the sister kingdoms already united.
Schleswig, with its population of 370,000 souls,
half Danes, half Germans, seems to present the
only obstacle to such an arrangement ; but even
here some plan founded on the different localities
and their separate nationality may be elaborated,
and has been already seriously contemplated in
1848.
Scandinavism in our days is not imbued with
the spirit of conquest ; it does not aspire to its end
by convulsive throes and sanguinary revolutions ;
it is merely the tendency of a long divided family
to be again united, and this union is a wise and
politic measure, dictated by the wants of ages, the
experience of past disasters, and the shadowing
forth of future dangers, but averted by one com-
mon effort. Deep sympathies for the common
stock are implanted in every Scandinavian heart.
The two Kings are on the most friendly terms ; the
two Cabinets are on a footing of perfect confidence ;
not a vestige of distrust subsists between the two
nations. " The end is working out slowly but
surely. It is useless to hurry; it would be cruel to
attempt to impede the final union of the Scandi-
navian nationalities.
All that is required to secure this guarantee for
the independence of Europe, and civilisation in
general, is that the Allied Powers should prevent
Russia neddl;ng 'n the interior affairs of the north,
with a view to dividing and weakening its strength.
The rest will be brought about by the good sense
of the people ;• and, without being able to deter-
mine the moment when this great event will take
place, it may be safely affirmed that the decrees of
Providence will be speedily carried out, and the
great united family of Swedes, Danes, and Nor-
wegians will be the safest bulwark for Western
Europe.
Denmark, by its geographical position, is of
immense military importance, not only for the
defence of the Scandivinian realms, but also for the
protection of the rest of Europe against the incur-
sions of the. Russian fleet. The straits of the
Sound, situated between the Baltic and the Ger-
man Ocean, are as much obstacles to the Russian
development in the north as the Dardanelles in
Vie south, and Denmark, like the Ottoman Empire,
stands sentry for the liberties of Europe. It is
remarkable to reflect that while the Muscovite em-
pire has stretched its territorial frontiers from the
Vistula to the boundary of China, its maritime
progress has ever been checked by the two secon-
dary Powers who rule these Iwo small straits.
But, as Western Europe was unanimous in wrest-
ing from the hands of Russia the key of the South,
it is to be hoped she will be equally solicitous for
that of the North ; and here neither her treasures
nor the blood of lier children are required. Let
the wisdom of diplomacy only second the wish of
the people,—fortify Denmark by Sweden and Nor-
way, Sweden and Norway by Denmark, let the
Scandinavian people be united in the bonds they
covet, and let this empire be sufficiently strong to
withstand any attempt at conquest from its oppo-
site neighbour.
As it is well to answer all objections, even those
suggested by timid politicians, let me add that,
however the Scandinavian union may be powerful
to resist aggression, it never could be sufficiently
strong to give umbrage in the west. This is evident
from the annexed list of population :

MARSEILLES, AUG. 8.

We have intelligence from Constantinople to
the Ist. The squadron of Admiral Houston
Stewart has left for the Black Sea, and will re-

main there until Russia gives up Klrs and the

Isle of Serpents.

MARSEILLES, SATURDAY, AUG. 0, 9.30 A.M.
The Thabor has arrived, with advices from

Constantinople to the 31st of July.
Despatches left at 9 a.m.
Admiral Stewart left Constantinople on the
29th of July, with a squadron, for the Black Sea.

BERLIN, AUG. 7.

A letter from Vienna to the Dresden Gazettes
states that Russia has evacuated the Isle of Ser-
pents, which has now been occupied by the Turks.
The frontier commission has not yet been able to
agree on the question of the inc3rporation of Bel-
grad. Admiral. Napier has arrived at Berlin.

MADRID, AUG. 7.

By a Royal decree, published in the Gazette o:

to-day, the resignations of MM. Olozag,a and
Gonzalez of the pasts of ambassadors at Paris and
London have been accepted. It is said that
General Serrano has been appointod as ambassador
to Paris. The Gazette contains no political news
of interest. The national guard of Aragon has
been disarmed.

Inhabitants.
Denmark (exclusive of the Duchies) 1,500,000
Sweden 3,600,000
Norway 1,500,000
Forming a total of 6,600,000, or scarcely two-
thirds of that of the Two Sicilies, which boasts of
nearly 10,000,000 inhabitants.
The military force of the united kingdoms, with-
out augmenting their actual army, would be about
150,000 or 160,000 soldiers ' • and about 70,000
sailors. What is called the large fleet possesses
above 2,000 cannon ; but where England would
find the greatest assistance in the event of any war
is what we designate as the little fleet, which is
composed of 500 gunboats and yawls, so indispen-
sable in the navigation of this rocky coast and
shoal-clustered sea. It is designedly that I say
"England," for it is to the English alliance that
the Scandinavian union must look for support ;
and any breach with the real champions of civilisa-
tion would be 'fatal to their futurity as a nation.
This conviction of mine is so strong that I hardly
think it worth our while to refute the arguments
of those who through tear of displeasing a power-
ful country, or perhaps from more interested mo-
tives, pretend to dread the; closing of the Baltic.
This notion is preposterous, and so far from the
thoughts of the Scandinavians that it is even con-
templated to abolish the Sound Dues, besides
which, it would be easy to stipulate that no fortifi-
cations should be erected either in Seeland or on
the coasts of Scania.
Now that the conclusion of peace has softened
down all hostile feeling it is easier to take a dis-
passionate view of the conduct of Sweden during
the war than when, in the heat of contest, active
co-operation was expected from her without any
reference to her peculiar position.
It is now proved by authentic documents that
the sympathies of King Oscar were from the first
enlisted on the side of the allies, and that he, like
the chivalrous King Victor Emmanuel, would have
raised his standard by their side, had the decisive
campaign been in the Baltic, where alone the
Scandinavian forces would have been available ;
and yet in what situation does the peace of Paris
leave Sweden?—what strength has diplomacy given
her in her new position with regard to Russia ?
I will not allude to the brilliant dream of con-
quering Finland, but merely remark on what has
been in the power of the allies—the islands of
Aland. True, the treaty guarantees that this
archipelago shall not be fortified, and that neither
military nor naval arsenals shall be established
there ; but we who are well acquainted with the
locality cannot but smile at such an illusory specu-
lation, and deeply regret that the neutralisation of
these islands was not insisted upon at the Con-
ferences.
The letter of the treaty may be evaded by esta-
blishing a depot of military stores on the mainland,
reserving Aland and its chain of islands as a sort
of natural bridge to the strait which divides it from
Sweden, and which is often frozen over for weeks
together. Aland itself, the principal island of this
group, which comprises about 60 others, is 30 Eng-
lish miles long and 24 wide, and the whole arch-
pelago is divided into eight parishes, with a popu-
lation of 20,000 souls. Recent
accsunts mention
movements of troops in these isles ; and, as there is
np thing stipulated against their having a strong
garrison, this might easily form the head of an
invading column from Sweaborg to Stockholm.
The treaty of the 213 of November has certainly
guaranteed Sweden against any open or covert act
of Russian aggression ;
but
supposesome new,
when Western
European convulsion, Europe has
home difficulties to contend with, what is there to
prevent the Russian fleet of the White Sea from
securing the best harbours in Norway, and that of
Cronstadt frern taking possession of Gothland, ins
stead of merely asking for it, as in 1831 ?
This is no chimerical fear, and that the English

audacious invasion of an unguarded point in an
allied country it may be well here to recapitulate
the resources of our crafty neighbour.
Russia possesses in the White Sea 400 transports,
of about 15,000 tons burden, most of them mannEd
by sailors acquainted with every nook and cranny
of the rocky coast of Finmark, as well as every
shoal in the Fiords. They are so constructed that
they can easily be adapted to convey not only
troops but artillery, and such a fleet could carry
10,000 men with heavyguns and stores for a three
months' campaign. Such an expedition might dis-
embark anywhere between the Galf of Waranger,
at the north-eastern gxtremity of Finmark, and the
Gulf of Droutheim, on the south-western—that is
to say, along nearly 800 miles of coast, without
meeting a single military post.
Russia already shows symptoms of sinister de-
signs on the islands of Gothland and Bornholm,
as well as the deep bays of Finmark. Scientific
expeditions now, as in 1841, are set on' foot by the
Russian Government, and military roads are being
constructed leading towards the coveted points of
Lapland. The Norwegian journal of Cromsoe
complains bitterly of the number of armed boats
which have come this year to Vadso, in the bay of
Waranger, perhaps to lay the foundation of some
future Sebastopol within 200 miles of the British
coasts.
Sweden leaves no means untried to watch over
an 'l foil the manoeuvres of Russia ; but, in spite
of her daily increasing prosperity, of her improved
agriculture, and great sacrifices to maintain the
army and navy on a suitable footing, she cer-
tainly could not resist an invasion without the
help of the allies, who, be it remembered, have
guaranteed for ever the integrity of her territory.
It is therefore as much the interest of the allied
Powers as it is for the advantage of Sweden to
encourage and lend a hand to the Scandinavian
aggrandisement.
As I have said before, the best means of attain-
ing this end, which I verily believe to be as im-
perative for the security of the British suproinacy
on the ocean as for the balance of power in the
north, is to bring about a Scandinavian Confede-
ration of States able to withstand encroachment
and to disregard threats. The union of Sweden,
Denmark, and Norway would still be very inferior
to the ancient kingdom of Sweden, when it coin-
prised Pomerania and the rich provinces of Fin-
land, E3thonia, and Livonia, now the pr, 3y of
all-invading Russia ; but it might be sufficient to
hold its own, without a perpetual recourse to the
guaranteeing Powers.

SOUTHAMPTON, AUG. 8.

By the United States mail steam-ship Fultot.q,
Capt. Wottou, which arrived off Cowes this morn-
ing en route from New York to Havre, with the
French and English mails, $700,000 in specie
($105,000 of which is for London), and 93 passew-
gers, we have dates to the 26th ult.
The Fulton, on the 6th inst., in lat. 50.40 N.,
long. 13.18 W., exchanged signals with the Bre-
men bark Adulgunde and ship Fifeshire, of and for
London.

In the New York Senate a bill had been passita
providing that whenever unoccupied guano island!
should be discovered by American citizens thal r
will be considered as appertaining to the Unittai
States. The bill also guarantees to discoverers thi
exclusive use of the guano deposits, and fixes the
rate at which the article shall be sold. The House
also went into committee of the whole on the
Army Appropriation Bill. Mr. Barbour, of In-
diana, moved to amend the clause making pro-
vision for the pay of the army by adding a .
disapproval of the code of alleged laws or
Kansas, and the manner in which they were en-
forced, expressly declaring that, unless they should
be confirmed by Congress, no part of the federal,
forces should be employed for their enforcement,
nor should any citizens of Kansas be compelled to.
aid as a posse comnbitatus of any officer acting:
as marshal or sheriff in that territory. After a de-.
bate, in which the Kansas troubles were fully dis-
cussed a motion to further amend, by declaring;
that the laws of Kansas were null and void, was
agreed to by a majority of 57 to 56. The first.
proposition as amended was then carried by 72 to
57 votes. The bill for providing pensions for the
relief of the widows and orphans of the crews of
the lost ships Albany and Porpoise was also passed.
The Senate also passed a bill providing for the
compulsory prepayment of postage on all printed
matter. A resolution was offered, calling on the
President to answer whether General Smith had
been instructed to refuse, protection to the citizens
of Leavenworth, Kansas, from the border ruffians.
A message was received from the President, recom-
mending an appropriation of $300,000 to complete
the purchase of and finish the new post-office at
Philadelphia.
The latest intelligence regarding the Brooks and.
Burlingame affair state that reports were current
that Burlingame had received a challenge front
Mr. Bocock, of Virginia, also that he had been ad-
'vised by his friends to proceed to Niagara to await
the expiration of the period- assigned for the meet-
ing with Mr. Brooks.
The correspondent of the Intelligencer writes
from Kansas that Colonel Lane, at the head of
600 men, armed with rifles, bowie knives, and re-
volvers, crossed the Missouri into Kansas on the
21st ult. After crossing, Colonel Lane said he
would go no further, but return and force his way
up the Missouri river with his other regiment.
General Harney, Colonel Baker, and Captain Plea-
santon had arrived at Fort Leavenworth. It was
reported that a party of Cheyenne Indians had at-
tacked the guardhouse at Fort Kearney, and re-
scued some of the Indians confined there, making
good their retreat with the loss of three killed.
Colonel Fauntleroy had arrived at St. Louis from
New Mexico, and reported all quiet among the
Indians in the northern part of the territory.
Files of Bermuda journals to the 16th ult. state
that, after a long period' of dry weather, during
which the whole face of the country had become
parched, and fears of a drought began to be enter-
tained, genial rains had fallen.
Havannah dates to the 19th ult. state that the
Captain-General was convalescent. He was about
to be created Marquis. Brigadier-General .Rada
had left Costa Rica and gone to Lima.
In the New-York money-market the demand for

money was active, and the supply less abundant ;
however, there was no difficulty in negotiating
call-loans or fir:: -class securities at 6 per cent. per

annum, a few banks having called in part of their
loans. Brokers were kept busy, but in the latter
Part of the day the money-market was again quiet.

Foreign exchanges ruled quiet, but firm. Bankers
held sterling bills at 110, but few small sales only
were above 109. First-class commercial draughts
on England could be bought at 1091, and on Paria
at 5.16. Tile stock-market was heavy, but the
transactions were large. The sales of cotton on
the 25th ult. were confined to about 500 to 600
bales, at unchanged prices.

" TRE WORLD AS IT IS, AND MY

PLACB IN IT."

When we first took up this new work we were
somewhat puzzled by its quaint title, scarcely
knowing whether we had not a work on geology
or history before us. We strongly advise the
author, in another edition, to denote in some
clearer way the object of his work. This objec-
tion, however, reaches no further than the title-
page ; and we have the appearance of a work which
attempts to put an end to the piecemeal way iu
which history has generally been taught to the
young. To study particular histories without first
having some idea of the general connection of
events i:i like raising a superstructure without any
solid foundation. We believe that many a school-
boy who reads the history of Greece and Rome has
those histories as entirely disconnected in his own
mind as if the two countries were in different
planets. Yet there is scarcely any nation where
poor history is not more or less connected with that
of other nations; and at the present time the world
is becoming more and more one great family of
nations, every part of which is more or less inti-
mately connected with the rest. We are glad,
therefore, of the appearance of a work which aims
especially to show the connection of history for the
benefit of the young. We do not commit ourselves
to all the author's views ; but we are bound to re-
commend this work to the favourable notice of our
re aders.
