the reported reappearance of the cholera in Paris. LA TEST INTELLIGENCE.
Happily there is no foundation whatever for the
rumour. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

The news of a revolution in Hayti is confirmed.
The Government of the President Geffrard has been
overthrown, and being compelled to take flight, he
and his family have sought refuge on board the
aviso d'Estaing of the Imperial Marine. The revo-
lution was effected without the effusion of blood.
Vice-Admiral Didelot, commandant of the French
naval division in the Antilles, for the protection of
French subjects, thought it his duty to despatch the
Estaing to Port-au-Prince, whither he intended
shortly to repair himself.
Two sailing frigates, the Eurydice and Fonte-
noy, have arrived at Cherbourg with French
troops on board from Mexico. The health of the
troops is excellent, and free pratique was instantly
granted.
The King of Denmark arrived at Calais the day
before yesterday on board the steamer Wade, and
after partaking of slight refreshment at the rail-
way station left for Cologne on his return to his
dominions. His Majesty stopped in England un-
til assured that there was no need of further
anxiety on account of his daughter.
There has been another earthquake in Algeria.
It took place at Blidah. The shock was from
west to east. No damage was done.

Railway companies in France have to pay very
dearly for the results of accidents on their lines.
The Lyons Railway Company have been compelled
to make the following compensations to the repre-
sentatives of the persons who suffered from the
accident at Francois, an account of which appeared
in The Sun at the time :—alb the widow Peronne,
whose husband was killed, 60,000 f. ; and to M.
Peronne, her son, 62,000 f. ; to the widow of M.
Knutz, of Dijon, whose husband was killed, and to
her children, 20,000 f. ; to the young widow of the
postman of Auxoure, an annual pension of 600 f.,
and also a sum of 600 f. at once. This unfortunate
young woman being about to become a mother,
the rights of the child to compensation are reserved.
The total sum the company has to pay is 148,000 f.,
or nearly £6,000.
The weather has been very bright to-day, but
very stormy and cold.

ANALYSIS OF THE DIVISION ON THE

REFORM BILL.

The great division on Mr. Gladstone's amend-
ment on Friday night was not as large as same of
those which took place last year upon the Reform
Bill of the late Government, and it fell short by 35
of the aggregate strength present on the division
which proved fatal to Lord Derby's Government in
1859, we believe the largest on record, when 638
members were in the house. On this occasion the
total number collected within the house was 603,
thus made up,—Ayes, 288 ; noes, 310 ; tellers, 4 ;
and chairman, 1. The tot up of the minority must
have been wrongly stated at 289, for only 288 names
are recorded in the division list.
With regard to the party complexion of those
voting, an analysis shows that 282 Liberals and 6
Conservatives made up the minority, and 267 Con-
servatives and 43 Liberals the majority. The fol-
lowing is an accurate summary of the state of the
house on this occasion :

A number of prominent Southerners, represent-

advises the movement, but the New York Times

denies the statement.

he will appoint sheriffs and other officers when the.

LITERATUBB.

Cosas de Espana. By the Author of " Flemish
Interiors." Alexander Strahan, Ludgate-hill,

and New York.

After a long period of total silence on the part of
Spanish tourists (if, indeed, there have been any
during the last ten years) we find the Peninsula
again becoming a subject of interest to the periodical
traveller. its beauties and attractions are once more
brought before the public in the graphic language
of honest enthusiasm, and the comparative facilities
which now enable even ladies to explore its almost
untrodden paths are commented on in a way which
almost suggests a trial of the opportunity they offer.
Of all the books on Spanish travel which the

literature of the past year has supplied, that which
appeared the first in the field, from the pen of Mrs.
Pitt Byrne, is decidedly the most encouraging, at
the same time that it is the most useful.

The author's past experiences in various countries, I
of which none who have perused them will ever forget
the pleasant and detailed recitals, give to her pages a
value which do not belong to the other writers
to whom we have alluded. There is something
absolutely inspiring in these volumes, and the reader
is carried along by the evident truthfulness and ac-
curacy of the descriptions they contain. Fired with
the enthusiasm with which the scenery of the coun-
try and the character of the people are painted, and
with the vivacity with which the bizarre incidents
of Spanish travel are related, he longs to be off to
the sunny South, that ho may be judge for himself
of the Cosas de Espana. There is not a page in
which all who are interested in the subject will not
find new and useful information, conveyed in a style
as lively and pleasant as that which distinguishes
the author's other works ; and to those who really
want to know what advantages and disadvantages,
enjoyments, and adventures are to be obtained by
spending their holiday in the remote and antiquated
peninsula, we cannot offer better advice than that
they should read and study these delightful ♦olumes.
The illustrations, by the hand of the author's sister
and fellow-traveller, add greatly to the attractions
as well as to the usefulness of the book.

A CHILD'S TRADE IN BETHNAL GREEN.

--.a----

[Besides being admirably-well edited, and very
cleverly (often wittily, always thoughtfully) written
throughout—from the Table of Contents down to
the Advertisements, from the first line to the last—
the Spectator occasionally gives insertion to copies
of verses such as (we are now and then disposed to
fancy) " the world will not willingly let die." Of
this character are the nervous and affecting lines
which we are here tempted to transfer in extenso to
our columns—lines not unworthy of taking their
place by the side of Elizabeth Barrett Browning's
" Cry of the Children." ED. SUN.]
Lucifer-Boxes !—the name suits well
With the stench, and the glare, and grime of Hell !
Thirty a halfpenny—no great waste,
As the small manufacturersfindtheir own paste.
Such a child I took on my knee,
Her life of labour began at three
The sad and sickly pallid child,
Poor little woman, meek and mild,
Her mother said, encouragement giving,
Since she was three bad earn'd a living.
Her Mother, the decent Englishwoman,
Shall we hope or fear that her heart is human ?
Her Father, hard-working Englishman,
Who could grudge him his pipe and oan ?
0 God! for Parents what a doom,
That infant the rent of their wretched room
Toiling to earn, and an early tomb !
Never an hour of holiday
Hath it known, nor the sense of the word "to play."
Paste and shavings, paper and paste,
Hundreds of boxes made in haste—
Lucifer-Boxes!—the name fits well
With the lurid glare and the grin of Hell,
For the Devil looked on, and inly laughed
To be beaten by Man in his own black craft.
Talk of machinery and its pranks,
Boilers and pistons, wheels and cranks,
All ingenious, but here is seen
A wonderful God-made live machine.
Examine each artery, nerve, and vein,
Valves of the heart, and folds of brain,
Stomach for food, for breath the lung,
Look at the eye, and eat, and tongue,
And all, of which medical students read
For month and years, yet scarce succeed
In remembering half their names or uses—
Filaments, tissues, cells, and juices,
And what each part to the whole conduces.
This is the thing that ever in haste
Makes Lucifer-Boxes, finding the paste,
Its life one dull unvarying round
Of Lucifer-Boxes—one hates the sound.
Never those lustreless eyes have seen,
place called Bethnal Green,
rflow'r or tree ;
Meadow
sohrebee,o
lives in a
What are they, little machine, to thee ?
Hundreds like thee have died ere seven,
And gone, as the clergy say, to Heaven ;
And one, indeed, who could witness bear,
Hath said of such is the Kingdom there.
Sev'n's too old—wilt be alive,
Poor little toiler, to date from fin ?
Lamb or filly, kitten or kid,
Which of them leads such a life forbid?
Leveret, rabbit, tiger, calf,
When young can play, if they do not laugh.
Better be cubs of wolves or foxes,
Than babes worked up into Lucifer Boxes;
Better an animal tame or wild,
Better be aught than such a child !
Methinks t'were a change for that sad elf
To make a case that would hold herself ;
Though if that be found at the parish cost,
Of course the trouble and time were lost.
Then a scantling of wood, some nails as well,
Alas, how little will form her shell !
The father and mother may well lament,
As they follow that box, for the payer of rent ;
And with a groan, it may be confect,
The Lu'cifer-Boxmaker earn'd her rest.

its notice of Mr. Hepworth Dixon's "Now America," says,
"We must not close without doing justice to Mr. Dixon's
book, which has furnished the occasion for our article. It
is the work of a keen observer, and it appears at an oppor-
tune season. Those who would pursue all the varied
phenomena, of which we have attempted an outline, will
have reason to be grateful to the intelligent and lively
guide who has given them such a sample of the inquiry.
During his residence at Salt Lake City, Mr. Dixon was
able to gather much valuable and interesting information
respecting Mormon life and society, and the account of
that singular body. The Shakers, from his observations
during a visit to their chief settlement at Mount Lebanon,
is one of the best parts of Mr. Dixon's work."
