Reading Lessons. Edited by E. Hughes. Long-

11l ass.

This series of reading lessons is published in two
volumes, and has been undertaken with the object
of supplying an assistant to teachers in the instruc-
tion of the young, and at the same time affording
a course of reading books on the chief branches of
English education. The different departments of
physical geography, scientific biography, geology,
vegetable and animal physiology, ethnology, na-
tural history, political and domestic economy,
chemistry, mechanics, natural philosophy, astro-
nomy, music, and literature, are all treated of in
separate divisions by authors of established reputa-
tion. It is justly remarked in the preface that it
speaks well for the intellectual- progress of the
future that men of such ability do not think it be-
neath them to popularise, for the use of the young,
those sciences of which they are themselves success-
ful cultivators, and in many instances the acknow-
ledged readers. At the same time the difference of
the authorship affords a variety of style very in-
structive for the perusal of the young. It must be
understood, however, that the work is not intended
for the very young or uneducated. The subjects
selected, as well as the language and method em-
ployed, presuppose a certain degree of intellectual
culture and development. At the same time it is
to be commended for bringing the study of the pure
sciences within the attainment of those to whom
the scientific terms employed, or abstruse interpo-
lations, have detained from acquiring a knowledge
of them in works of a more distinct scientific cha-
racter. It is well known that no department of
knowledge tends so much to strengthen the reason-
ing powers, and therefore even a moderate ac-
quaintance with them is greatly to be desired, even
if the student's pursuits should prevent them from
being more directly useful to him. The rapid mitt
of a large impression of the First Book encouraged
the editor to prepare a second, in which the general
method is similar, though each article takes the
student a step forward in the science of which it
treats. It only remains for us to add, in commend-
inc, this work to all self-instructors and teachers,
that' the editor has used it for some months in the
Royal Naval Lower School, Greenwich, of which
he is head master, and has found it satisfactory and
efficient.

Vagabond Life in, Mexico. By Gabriel Ferry.

James Blackwood.

This work was originally published in Black.
wood's Magazine, whose readers will doubtless re-
member its striking scenes and remarkable delinea-
tions. The writer was for seven years resident in.
the country which he describes, and truly, if his
picture is a faithful one, we cannot admire his
selection of a residence. An utter disregard of
human life, and wanton indifference to robbery
and murder, are among the most prominent features
of the Mexican character. Justice is most ineffi-
ciently administered, and nothing is more common
than duels and assassinations in the open street.
Nevertheless the adventures and escapes which
the author encountered, are sufficiently entertain:
mg to the reader, if itot very agreeable to the
actor. The various wandering characters he met
with, the leperos, the banditti, the miners, the
thieves' lawyer, theJarochos, and their companions,
are all sketched with vigour and effect. The his-
tory of the elopement of the young Spaniard, who
was afterwards murdered, forms an interesting
episode, and the author's pursuit of Don Tomas
Verdugeo, whom the author followed for 240
leagues from mere curiosity, and who then
proved to be a bravo, from whoa, for some. time,
his life was in danger. Those who delight in nar-
ratives of adventures, and are attracted byipic.
tures of social existence in wild and lawless dis.
tricts, amid the mixed and desperate characters
here delineated, will find in this volume abun-
dance of interest and excitement.

to the present posture of affairs, and to the ap-
proaching negotiations. The questions of the total
liberation of the Black Sea and the freedom of the
Danube from Russian control will constitute the
real business of the congress, so far as the south of
Europe is concerned. The Austrian Government
has the credit of having framed the proposals which
Russia has accepted as a basis, and no country in
Europe has a greater interest than Austria in those
questions to which we have referred. We have,
therefore, place ,I ourselves in the hands of an in-
terested party, and have committed our honour
and our interests to a mediation which must be,
and which is, biassed. The Belgian organ of the
Russian Government tells us that these proposi-
tions of Austria were accepted by the Cabinet of
St. Petersburgh without hesitation, because,
"with a trifling difference, they are very nearly
identical with those which had received Russia's
assent at the Vienna Conferences." Here is the
opinion of the Russian Nord and its estimate of the
nature of the Austrian mediation. We take it, at
all events, that Le Nord reflects with tolerable ac-
curacy the sentiments and opinionaof the Czar and
his advisers., Yet the British Government is sa-
tisfied to accept as preliminaries of peace the in-
terested propositions of a treacherous eamarilla—
propositions which do not provide against_ the
danger we are concerned to repel, and takes no
heed of the interests of -England where they are
most vulnerable, nor of her honour where it is
most' seriously involved.

(LOVEIITIREMENT.I—IIOIIOWay'i4 Pills have an extra-

Mr. Charles AV,ilson, of 39, Princes-street, Glasgow,
states, in a letter to Professor Holloway, that he had
suffered for a long time from a disease of the liver and
sto!nach, for which .he could obtain no relief from the
medioal profession, ; therefore he deterrned on try ing Hollo-
way's pills, at which time he was in a most wretched
condition ; but, .humanly speaking, these pills have
saved his life, agile is now restored to perfect health, to
the.surprise of all who had witnessed the state he was in.
Sold by all medicine vendors, throughout the world,
and at Professor Hollowsly's Establishments, 244, Strand,

&Alava, Constantinople ; A, Guidicy, Smyrna ; and E.
Muir, Malta.

Mr. C. BLOWERS said it was not necessary for him
to say a word after what they had heard ; but as a mem-
ber of the board of management he could corrobo-
rate every word Mr. Saul had uttered. With regard to
the education of the girls, he might observe that they
were taught sewing ; to make their own dresses ; and a
knowledge of housekeeping. The institution was opened
by Prince Albert, who had visited every part of it, and
his Royal Highness assured the board that he was very
much pleasgeadvewihtihmit, adding that he never saw a build-
ing which greater satisfaction. He might add
that the children did not wear any charitable garb, but
in dress appeared as the children of respectable parents.
Mr. PHELPS said he felt great interest in this institu-
tion, and would make one or two suggestions. He was
cognisant of the fact that Birmingham sends out more
commercial travellers than any other town in the coun-
try, which arose froin'the great number and peculiarity
of its manufactures, lie seldom entered a commercial
room in which there were not several commercial tra-
vellers from Birmingham. This fact gave the institution
strong claims ou the town, as it was warmly interested
in the success of commercial operations, and he, there-
fore, hoped the commercial gentlemen of the town would
interest themselves in the welfare of the institution.
Commercial men were the beat customers of the railway
companies, being from their periodical visits to different
places more regular in their transit than others ; and
generally the railway companies did not depend so much
for passenger traffic as on the /commercial body. No
class spent so much money on railways as did commer-
ciat men, and he, therefore, thought that the institution
had strong claims on railway companies ; and he be-
lieved that if a deputation were to wait upon railway
companies for support to the institution, it would be
followed with beneficial results.

The CHAIRMAN said he should not have introduced the
deputation to the notice of the public if the institution
were not a national one ; and he considered that the
interests of so large a class of men as commercial travel-
lers were identified with the interests of Birmingham.

The steam-ship Great Britain, having been again taken
up by the Government, is being refitted and repaired, to
be made available for the conveyance of troops. She will
sail from Liverpool on the 9th of Feb., with about 1,100
troops for Malta. The screw steamer Sarah Sands is also
being refitted at Liverpool for the transport service.
The Bucephalus, having discharged her cargo, is to
be paid out of the transport service. The various trophies
which composed her cargo at present occupy a consider.
able space in the Dial-square in the Arsenal grcunds at
Woolwich. The guns and small mortars, which latter
consist chiefly of cohorns and royals of 6 inches and 31
inches, as well as many field pieces and howitzers, and
a number of heavy guns, corresponding with our 68-
pounders, are all of very valuable brass metal ; but,
with their present bore, they are not serviceable for
our description of shot. It is conjectured, therefore,
that they will be re-cast. The officers and men forming
the field train corps who were at the sieg3 of Sebastopol,
are anxious to wear some particular mark to distinguish
them for their services there. They propose for that pur-
pose the melting down one of the large guns, to be con-
verted into small crosses, or other medals, to be distributed
solely for the decoration of that corps of her Majesty's
service thus engaged. The carriages and waggonsare of
little value, most of them being shattered and utterly
useless. A wheel of one of the ammunition waggons
is covered with Russian blood, having been found em-
bedded among the bodies of several dead soldiers, which
were lying with the carcasses of dead horses, &c. Major
Lukin and the men who were in °barge of these trophies
have coropleted their work of mounting the guns and
placing every article in a conspicuous position, as her
Majesty has signified her intention of giving them a
personal inspection. Major Lukin waited on Lord Pan-
mure on Saturday to inform him that everything was
prepared for her Majesty's visit, which is arranged to
take place on Wednesday next.
The Admiralty yacht Black Eagle, Master-Commander
Petley, having completed her repairs, went out of Wool-
wich basin on Saturday, and has commenced coaling.
The Rhadamanthus likewise left Woolwich basin with
machinery, boilers, and 17 fathoms of chain cable for the
use of her Majesty's ship Boadicea at Sheerness.
The paddle-wheel steamer Spitfire entered the inner
basin at Woolwich on Saturday to be overhauled and to
make good her damages, which are considerable.
At Bristol Messrs. C. Hill and Sons are making the
greatest exertions to complete the three steam gun-
boats building by them as quick as possible. Their large
building sheds being lighted with gas enables the men to
work day and night unaffected by the rain. The Hardy
will shortly be launched with the machinery all fitted,
and the others will soon follow.

The following appointments were made on Saturday
at the Admiralty :—Commander F. A. Close, to the
Hohawk ; Lieut. the Hon. F. O'Brien Fitzinaurice, to
the Eurotas ; Lieut. E. T. Made, to the Duke of W el-
lington ; Lieut. G. T. Nicola•, to the Eurotas ; E. P•
Cole, to be Master-Commanding the Rhadamanthus ;
LT. G. Thomsett, Master to the Eurotas ; F. R. Llewel-
lyn, promoted to Master, to be dated the 29th of Sept.,
1855 ; C. B. Powell, Midshipman to the Eurotas ; A.
King, Acting-Assistant-Surgeon to the Brunswick ; G.
P. Cooke, Assistant-Surgeon to the Dee.
A small detachment of invalids from the 25th Regi-
ment, at Manchester, arrived at Chatham yesterday.
The strength of this regiment is about 1,000, having
been recently completed from the Militia.

"That the circumstances which have come to light in
connection with the fall of Kars are such as to call for a
full and public inquiry, and that the memorial which has
now been read be adopted and signed for presentation to
her Majesty."
He said it was with some reluctance that he moved the
resolution, because, as a mercantile man, be felt that
he might be doing that which he did not exactly
understand. However, humble as might be his ability,
he did not shrink from the responsibility of doing so.
The speaker then proceeded to point out the evils of the
present system, by which the appointments to the army
were filled up by the Crown, which he deprecated as
a system fraught with the greatest injustice to
deserving and talented men. (Cries of " Question,
question.") He was speaking of the army, and he thought
that was the question. They would all remember that,
a short time ago, Brigadier Mayne, of the Indian army,
came to this country, expecting to receive an important
command in the army in the East. He was cordially
received by Lord Hardinge ; but, before he could have
his appointment, it was intimated to him that it was ab-
solutely necessary he should obtain the approbation of his
Royal Highness Prince Albert. That approbation Brigadier
Mayne could not obtain, and consequently he did not
get the appointment. Colonel Shirley, more fortunate
than Brigadier Mayne, obtained the appointment he had
failed in getting, and such was the effect produced by
the treatment he received, that the gallant soldier sank
and died. (Cries of "Shame.") The system of red-tape
was not confined to the army, but was to be found in the
navy. A young officer had succeeded in taking some
important soundings in the Baltic, and it was unknown
the benefits Admiral Napier would have received from
him in his operations in the Baltic. But what did
the Admiralty do with him ? Why, they sent him to
the Cape of Gocd Hope with troops. Another case he
could mention ; it was that of a gentleman who had a son
for whom he was anxious to obtain an appointment
in the navy, as he could speak the Russian language
But where did the Admiralty send him ? Why, to the
West Indies—the only place where he could be of little
or no service. The speaker then alluded to the political
reunions that would shortly take place in the political
world, which he looked upon as meetings where mem-
bers of Parliament, especially young members, sacrificed
their independence, and the honest cause of their con-
stituents. (Hear bear.) He thought on the whole
these remark's applied more especially to the commercial
representatives. He had frequently charged them with
the effect these re-unions produced on them, which they
lied acknowledged merely by a shake of the head or a
smile. The speaker then said it depended mainly upon
the-people themselves what steps were taken to remedy
that state of things, which they all so greatly deprecated,
and resumed his seat, by moving the resolution he had
j ust read:
Mr. INGRAM TRAVERSE seconded the resolution, and
he did so, believing the tall of Kars called in question
not only the administrative capacity, but the honesty of
purpose of the present Government. (Hear.) He
wished the inquiry to be open and full, but not such an
inquiry as the Government bad instituted relative to the
state of the army before Sebastopol. They must ap-
peal to the Crown, and have an efficient inquiry. If
that be done, he felt convinced that light would
be let into the diplomacy of this country that would
show the necessity of some reform in that department.
It was necessary the people should support this associa-
tion, and show themselves interested in the question,
or they would neither get administrative reform nor an
honourable peace. It was, he believed, Mr. Roebuck's in-
tention to move for a committee of inquiry into the fall
of Kars, but if he could not accomplish more than his
former committee the people would have but slight con-
fidence in the result. Lord Palmerston had done a great
deal toward establishing the principles of Administra-
tive Reform, and was deserving of the respect of the
people of this country for his boldness of action.
(Hear, hear, and cheers.) That noble lord had
shown them his determination to proceel in
the path of reform by the appointments of Mr. Justice
Willes and Mr. Baron Bramwell to the judicial bench.
He hoped that noble lord would before long remove the
appellate jurisdiction of the House of Lords. (Hear.)
He looked upon the elevation of Mr. Baron Parke to the
Upper House with a life peerage as a breaking through
by Lord Palmerston of a great principle. (Hear.) After
some further remarks the speaker seconded the reso
lution.
