TILE SUN.

LONDON, SATURDAY, NOV. 2, 1861.

What a windfall is America to our Autumn
speakers ! Perhaps they will return the compliment,
and tell us that Autumn editors too are not sorry
to have a standing dish of which all their readers
are disposed to taste. Well, be it so—but it must
be owned that our Tory speakers seem to relish the
American quarrel amazingly. It is a text for
harangues without end on the blessings of English
Institutions and the dangers of democracy ; nor do
we wonder they should preach from it at such length
seeing that their most dreaded radical opponents
have been wont to laud American democracy far
beyond what it seemed to merit, even while the
thirty-four States were a Union:

There may, indeed, be little in it, yet the Tories
have at least a capital stone to pelt with, and we
see how gladly they avail themselves of it. At
Worcester, for instance, Sir JOHN PAKINGTON and
the Earl of SHREWSBURY had it all their own
way. It was the meeting of the Conservative
Association. The Tories had been making unusual
efforts to turn the scale in their favour on the
Register. They have so far succeeded, that
they think they have now a fair chance.
They have fixed on their candidate, and he was
present with all the modest and hopeful blushes
of the preliminary wooing, while looking forward
to a happy marriage at the next election. Of
course, at such a time, the failure of American
democracy was a most seasonable topic. When
the Earl of SHREWSBURY responded to the toast
of " The House of Loris," after all the scarifying
wounds left by Mr. BRIGHT, it must have been
as soothing as Holloway's ointment itself
to apply the American unguent, and to tell his
Conservative supporters that " in America they
saw Democracy on its trial, and they saw how it
had failed. He was afraid the result would show
that the separation of the two great sections of
that country was inevitable, and those who lived
long enough would, in his opinion, see an aristo-
cracy established in America; he would not say
an aristocracy of dukes and earls, but an aristo-
cracy of some sort or other, so great was the neces-
sity of hiving a middle state between democracy
and despotism."

Was it modesty, or pride, or intellectuality, that
generalised the future class which is to save Ame-
rica as an
aristocracy of some sort or other." It
is philosophical to view things under their most
general aspect, and perhaps the Earl may be a bit
of a philosopher. It would be modest too, not to
set forth the English
aristocracyereas the only possi-
bleone, and to suppose thatt
claims to the high position of forming might be other
a part of the
Legislative balance wheel than that of being their
fathers' sons. We suspect, however,ritsitziat:ywaasnaa
kind of mingled pride in Titular A
recollection that such a thing would never -b'e
ori-
ginated spontaneously by people in their sober poli-
tical senses, which called forth the remark. A
great French infidel declared that if there were no
GOD it would he necessary to mako one ; and the
Earl's creed is of the same cast—if there be no aris-
tocracy you must create one somehow, or all will
go to ruin. Now in America it was plain enough
that Dukes and Earls could never come into exist-
ence, except indeed by the Darwinian process of
development—the political gorillas of democracy
dropping one hideous feature after another, till at
length the perfect earl or duke, came forth from the
man in the course of ages. That, however,
would be a distant time to wait for; so, some kind of
aristocracy America must produce, if it would exist
a nation at all. England, however, enjoyed the
great blessing already, and, according to his lord-
shi
3ioP:se ae440,", appreciated it, as she ought. "The
I Lords (he said) was an institution highly

valued, and if he might be allowed to say so, de-
servedly esteemed by the nation. It had often
been said by noisy Democrats and clamorous Re-
publicans that the House of Lords was of no use.
True, they were not at liberty to tax the people,
but they were in their places to protect their rights
and to preserve the institutions of the country, and
he would remind them that the Barons of England
were the first to grant liberties to the people."
The Earl should have said the first to enslave the
people, and the first to grant them franchises when
by so doing they could enlist their services against
the Monarch, or obtain from them much needed
supplies of money.

Sir JOHN PAXINOTON, who came forward in
rather high spirits, since he was inclined to believe
that the Conservatives had an actual majority in the
House at the present time, also had his lessons from
America. They might have fought there, if they
had been so disposed, on the grand issue of liberty
or slavery; bat the North, if it had not held slaves,
had sanctioned slavery, and was not fighting now
to put an end to it. Then as to reunion, " his be-
lief was that, from President LINCOLN downwards,
there was not a man in America would venture to
tell them that he really thought it possible that by
the force of circumstances the North could hope to
compel the South to again join them in constituting
the United States. It was altogether hopeless, and
it was shocking to see a war waged with so little
cause, for it was his sincere belief that the real in-
stigation for this terrible war was the shame they
I felt that the world should witness the disruption of
that great experiment."

This is somewhat of a novel statement of the
case—yet the silly attempts of the PRESIDENT and
Mrs. STOWE, followed by a host of new celebrities,
to represent the war as one to show to the world
that free institutions can maintaim themselves,
really warrants Sir JOHN'S rather severe remark.
Sir JOHN adverted to what even Conservatives have
often admitted, that this civil war might have bro-
ken out under any form of Government—but this
only drives him to what he holds to be firm ground.
He argues that American institutions were a failure
before the war, a view in which Mr. FAY, the Ame-
rican, whose letter we remarked on yesterday must
concur. " Let them," said Sir JOHN, " ask any intel-
ligent" American citizen what were his views on
the subject. Had democracy succeeded ? Had ex-
treme democracy contributed to promote the
happiness of mankind ? What had been the
work of American institutions ? Had the ad-
ministration of justice been pure? Had the
Government been free from corruption ? Was
liberty of person secure for the minority ? Ask in-
telligent American citizens, and they would tell
them that which was within his (Sir JOHN'S) know-
ledge, and which they had told again and again to
Englishmen in America and at home. ' Take warn-
ing from this country,' they had said : ' beware of
what you are doing in England—beware how you
copy that democracy which unhappily we have
adopted.' Did not these facts speak to them in terms
which they as intelligent citizens of a great State
were not at liberty to disregard P Did it not say
to them in words as plain as the handwriting on
the wall—' Happy England ; cherish the institu-
tions you have; support your monarchy; guard
your pure religion ; maintain your liberties."
Thus far, we doubt not, our Conservative friends
are right enough—America will serve their pur-
pose. The first appearance of things is as if
democracy had been at the bottom of the failure ;
of the double failure—the one before the war, and
of the war itself. A more careful observation will
show, however, how little there is in it. The South
is the aristocratical half of the States—yet it was
amongst the aristocracy of America that the fright-
ful. evil was nursed which has now split up the
Uaion ; on behalf of this hateful institution the
aristocracy of America corrupted the Bench of
Justice ; bullied, and even half killed, independent
man like Mr. SUMNER ; bribed and hired democracy
to override the intelligence of the North, and
surrounded the late President with jobbers. It is
aristocracy rather than democracy which has
depraved America and broken up the Union. If
Northern Democracy has been mischievous, it has
been as the tool of Southern Aristocracy. We com-
mend these facts to the consideration of Sir JOHN
PAJCINGTON and the Earl of SHREWSBURY, and to
their Conservative auditors at Worcester.

The Quarterly .Review, in its recently published
number, has a somewhat racy article on Church
Rates. Its object is, however, practical, being an
elaborate attempt to show that the only practicable
plan is to make the Church-rate an owner's rate,
with an exemption for Dissenting owners, on care-
fully-adjusted conditions. This is, of course, a
plan to throw the rate on Churchmen solely. The
owners of property, especially in country parishes,
are► almost exclusively Churchmen. Mr. WALPOLE,
in 1859, procured a return from 9,853 parishes, and
in 8,803 of them the owners were Churchmen ; in
the remaining 1,050 parishes there was a propor-
tion of Dissenting landowners. Thus the mere
change of direct incidence of the rate would be
almost equivalent to placing it entirely in
the hands of those who belong to the
Established Church ; and, adding the proposed
exemption, it would do so completely.
The writer lays down as the test of any success-
ful proposal that it must ensure peace. Parish war
is the grand nuisance of the present rate, and unless
this be got rid of nothing is achieved. The volun-
tary rate, or Lord EBURY'S plan, which he terms
the only possible compromise, namely, to abolish
the power of legal enforcement of the rate, would
obviously make matters peaceful enough. But the

reviewer dreads " the hat." ll° draws a deplorable
picture of the parish clergyman at the head of a
pro-rate party in his parish, exposed to all the
suspicions as to his motive, and to all the annoyances
of a candidate at an election, But against this
he sets the picture of the Birmingham begging
clergyman, who declares that his time is quite
swallowed up in raising money to keep his church
a going. Neither voluntary rates nor rates collected
by getting a majority of occupiers will do. One
keeps the parish and the clergyman in constant hot
water, and the other leaves him, in the clerical sense,
to " chill penury," freezing the religigus current of
his soul.

citizens as Churchmen—can prove their religion to
be as good as ours—can show that they have done
as much for social order and improvement as
Churchmen, and therefore demand to stand on an
equality with them in the treatment they receive
from the State. When charged with being political
Diseenters, they ask whether their opponents are
not political Churchmen ? And, certainly, when
they see all the clergy of the land bestirring them-
selves at the call of Mr. DISRAELI, and responding
to his precise demand—" political support"—they
may justly return the compliment, and name their
adversaries political Churchmen. The simple truth is,
that neither party can effect their object but through
political action. The Church has entrenched her-
self in a political position, and if the law is to be
altered Dissenters must 'een see to it that Members
of Parliament will vote as they wish them. On
the other hand,if Churchmen will not surrender the
power of coercion, they can retain it only by
mustering power in the Legislature.
However, an Owner's rate would sweep the
Parish Vestries of the objectors to Church rates, by
whatever name we chose to call them. The owners,
it is argued, are too few and too respectable to
oppose a rate. It is also contended that they
now in reality pay the rate, that they would
therefore incur no hardships by the change. This
may be theoretically true in the case of land, but in
a majority of cases we believe it to be practically
untrue ; and in the case of the vast number of
houses built as an investment for money, it is also
not true—if the occupiers paid the Church-rate
they would not get a shilling more rent from their
tenants. The amount is one which could not be
added to the rent of any respectable house, and on
the lower sort the landlords pay the rates already.
We strongly suspect that to press an owner's
rate on the House of Commons will be the best pos-
sible mode to pass Sir JoHN TRELAWNY'S Bill, or
a measure like that proposed by Lord
EBURY. We may be mistaken, but whether
such arguments find expression or not, the
reasoning of honourable members, so many of them
landlords, will be this—We are few, and form a
small part indeed of the worshippers, for whose
benefit the rate is levied—we shall receive no ac-
cession to our rent, through our tenants being
relieved from the rate—the burden of maintaining
their Church and worship would be a small charge
individually to them, to us it would be a heavy one
—they are the persons really benefitted, if they are
churchmen—let them, therefore, pay for their own
worship. Just the conclusion of the Volun-
taries ! The Reviewer says a good deal on
the advantage of a Church to owners of
house property—he might say the same of
the advantage of a dissenting chapel in the
suburbs of any large town—and might add, with
equal truth, that it is for the interest, pecuniarily,
of any builder in our suburbs to subscribe to the
erection of either a good church or a good chapel
on his property. Either would bring him a good
class of tenants—a convenient place of worship
on Sunday being generally an object with families.
Mainly for this very ignoble reason, we think
the proposal of an owner's rate will fail. Whether
they avow it or not, the numerous "owners"
who compose the House of Commons will instinc-
tively feel the weight of the Dissenters' argu-
ment that they shall be made to pay for
other persons' worship. We must protest, however,
against the reviewer's comparison of Church and Dis-
senting liberality. We do not believe in his repre-
sentation of the niggardly nature of the majority
of Churchmen. While the rate has met the charges
of parish worship their liberality has not been
fairly appealed to. While the rate legally exists
Churchmen do not feel that their -worship is cast
unreservedly upon them. Abolish the rate. Tell
us that all now lies on us as it has so long lain on
our dissenting neighbours, and we affirm and are
sure, that Churchmen's liberality will be more than
equal to the occasion, while the scandal of religious
coercion will be removed from the Church.

Mrs. Henry Wood's new story, " The Shadow of

seems to be hanging over the Goiolphins in several

of last year, it is considerably below the average of
former years. Expectations for the coming crop
are favourable, but arrivals are on a limited scale,
and consist mostly of ordinary descriptions. Small
lots of regular quality in cases have changed hands
at 1,900 dole.. to 2,000 dole. per aroba with abate-
ments, ordinary having sold as low as 1,600 dols. per
aroba for browns, and 2,500 dole. to 2,600 dols.
for whites ; superior qualities are inquired for,
but there are none in the market, with exchange at
251 d ; brown costs 15s 3d to 17s 9d, and whites,
22s ld to 22s lld per cent. free on board, exclusive
of freight. Cotton has almost ceased to be an
article of importation from this port, not more
than 146 bales having been shipped of last
crop. Coffee—Caravellas have been sold at 6,300
dols. to 6,900 dole, per aroba for washed, and
5,400 dols. to 6,200 dole, for unwashed. Sup-
plies from the interior are mostly contracted for.
No sales of importance have transpired. Cocoa
continues neglected, and has been disposed of
at 4,100 dols. to 4,500 dole. per aroba ; hides,
last sales, were at 175 to 180 reis per lb. ; for
drysalted, stocks in hand unimportant ; rum con-
tinues at 45,000 dols per pipe. Freights for the
Channel, 45s per ton ; Liverpool, 40s ; other British
ports, 455. Exchange closed at 25N. and 251 d 90
days.

PERNAMBUCO, OCT. 15.

Sugar—The prospects of a good supply in the
present crop appear verified; the entries by land
and water since the Ist have been greater than dur-
ing the same period for the last four years. Channel
browns are offering freely at 1,900 dols per arroba,
but the scarcity of vessels prevents exporters ex-
porting to any extent at present. White qualities
° f new crop have advanced in price, the entries
since the Ist are 1,172 tons against 63 ditto in
same time last year. Cotton.—Prices have varied
from 9 del. 400 to 9 del. 800 per arroba for flue
quality. Paraiba and Maceio Cotton.—Sales of
former have been made at 10 dol. 500 to 10 dol.
600, latter 10 dol. 200 per arroba, both free on
board. Hides. --Drysalted, 175 reis per lb.
Freight.—Vessels have been wanted. Charters.—
Two to Liverpool; sugar, 20s, and 225. 6d, per ton;
cotton, ?id. per lb. Exchange.—Transactions, per
Tyne, amount to £140,000, about £90,000 at 25d.
to 250. ; £40,000 at 251 d., and £lO,OOO at 260.
Transactions on Paris trifling, at 378 to 380 reis
per franc. Discounts.—Bank rates have ruled at
9 per cent. per annum for four months' bills, and
higher rates for longer periods.

" Death in the wave and horror in the air,
And in each tar's unquailing heart despair."
There are two papers on ladies eminent in French
history, though of very opposite characters and
fortunes—Gabrielle D'Estrees and Queen Hortense.
There is also the first part of a history of the French
army, which extends from Francis I. to Louis XIV.

Temple Bar.
The striking tale of " The Seven Sons of Mam-
mon" is proceeded with, and this division of it is in
all respects a most lugubrious one, as it contains,
first of all, an account of the great failure of the
"millionaire," and the sad descent from the pin-
nacle of luxurious affluence to the depths of the
scale of wretchedness ; also, we find the late all•
powerful, but now for ever fallen, Florence Army-
tage in all the horrors of her gloomy incarceration,
and awaiting the audit of her judges, who
are to mete out the award of her direful
deeds. "Shot in the Back', is a most unplea-
sant story; and it naturally occurs to the
reader that is a great pity for writers to waste
their powers of composition in compiling
such horrible fictions, when they might present us
with some so much better with the same amount
of trouble. " With Mr. Gorilla's Compliments,"
is a paper on that subject which has awakened
so much curiosity, and attracted so much atten-
tion during the last season. The tone in which
the great work of M. Chailln is criticised is a
totally unbecoming one, and we had hoped that
this absurd warfare against the merits of the
French naturalist was over. It is also ridiculous
to insinuate that Mr. Murray has been entrapped
into taking the leavings of sharp American pub-
lishers. Altogether it is not likely that the
writer will make any converts to his views by the
perusal of this exaggerated and illogical notice,
and when he descends to say that " the voice of the
inferior animal was recognised in spite of the lion's
skin," he forgets that "abuse is no argument."
" The Second Time of Asking" is a simple little
sketch that is written with feeling. " The Mys-
tery at Fernwood" begins a romance that:promises
to be very exciting, and "My Tutor's Cousin," by
Thomas Hood, is a ludicrous piece, half comic half
sentiment, that will create laughter, if only from
its swift gradation from tragedy to comedy.
"Blanche of Mine,".by Alfred Austin, is the title
of some verses that certainly do not waste words, as
the same one has to do duty several times, the word
breeze appears no less thy 25 times in 16 lines.
" Notes on Italy" is a paper that is very pleasantly
written, and while it imparts intelligence, it con-
veys agreeable reminiscences. In the remarks on
the swallow we find the following suggestive
thoughts :—" If, as some traveller's affirm, he has
visited Northern Africa in his six months' absence,
what pleasing scenes of travel he must have left
behind not a very short time ago. Perhaps within
a week or so from now he was skirting the desert
sands, and snapping at the locusts whilst taking a turn
round the black tent of a wandering Arab. After rest-
ing for a moment on a millenarian obelisk, or may be
twittering from a corner-stone of the Great Pyramid,
he may have cooled his sunburnt wings in the
sweet waters of the Nile. A little later and he
may have viewed the splendid palaces on the shores
of the Bosphorus, have supped off mosquitoes on
tho Golden Horn, and after perching for the night
on a minaret of old Stamboul have been disturbed
by the Mussuiman's early call for morning prayer.
Since then he may have closed his wings for a few
moments on the crumbling walls of the Coliseum,
and after a short survey of the old Roman Forum,
may have sped with light heart and rapid wing
around the Castle of St. Angelo and the great
dome of St. Peter's." Another good article
is on Percy Bysshe Shelley. It is written
in an appropriate manner, and is one of those
themes always welcome to meet with, elevating one
above the dull cares of life, and lifting the thoughts
beyond the dreary ways of business to the bright
realms of imagination and the spheres of ideality.
At the conclusion of this interesting sketch we find
this eloquent peroration :—" Eminent men may be
broadly divided into two classes—the men of their
age, and the men who are before their age. The
former are usually men of action. They are the
men who frame Magna Chartas and Bills of Right,
who pass Reform Acts and conquer our enemies.
They may not all, however, be engaged in
war or politics; they may make it theif
concern, to set in order and rationalise the beliefs
of their epoch, and to confute the errors of their
time, such were the Warburtons and Butlers of
the past age. These men mostly reap honour in
their life time, and they deserve their reward. The
other class are usually men of contemplation and
retirement. They early discover that the world is
not ready to accept their principles or appreciate
their inspiration. Daring their life only a select
company of disciples console them by cultivated
appreciation for the loss of popular sympathy ; but
as time widens converts grow more and more
numerous, until by a late canonisation they are
admitted among the teachers and minstrels of
mankind—dear sons of memory, great heirs of
fame. To the number of these last belongs the
name of Percy Bysshe Shelley."

Chapter 37 of " Ravenshoe' furnishes some of
Lord Welter's antecedents. As we predicted some
time ago, it was he who seduced Ellen from Raven-
shoe. Lieutenant Hornby having met her at
Welter's house, where she passed as his wife,
acting as mistress of his establishment, and enter-
tained his guests, fell in love with her, which was
not, of course, checked by the marriage of Welter
with Adelaide. Being rejected in the proposal
which he deemed good enough to make to one in
her situation, he took Charles with him one
night to Welter's house, who, while lying in
the hall, has strange revelations. He sees Lord
Welter and Adelaide quarrel, and sees Hornby
make an honourable proposal to his supposed
sister Ellen. He is, however, again rejected by
her, although she admits that sho loves him, stating
as her reason that she could not disgrace him, and
leaves him. Then Charles rising explains all, and
goes into Welter's room to have an explanation and
quarrel with him, but they do not fight as Hornby
had expected. Welter expresses regret, and
Charles, with his usual good nature believing him,
forgives him. Poor Hornby receives no hope from
brother or sister, and rides moodily home. The
conversation between Charles and Welter is very
good, the quiet mournful tone of the one and the
forced calmness of the bully contrasting admirably.
Charles's opening words with tho man whom a few
months before be could have killed were, " Welter,
Welter, why have you been such a villian ?"
Lord Welter found that a difficult question to answer.
He let it alone, and said nothing.
"I say nothing about Adelaile. You did not use me
well there ; for, when you persuaded her to go off with you,
you had not heard of my ruin."
" On my soul, Charles, there was not much persuasion
wanted there."

" Very likely. I do not want to speak about that, but
about Ellen, my sister. Was anything ever done more
shamefully than that ?"
Charles expected some furious outbreak when he said
that. None came. What was good in Lord Welter came
to the surface, when he saw his old friend and playmate
there before him, sunk so far below him in all that this
world considers worth having, but rising so far above him
in his fearless honour and manliness. He was humbled,
sorry, and ashamed. Bitter as Charles's words were, ho
felt they were true, and had manhood enough left not to
resent them. To the sensation of fear, as I have said be-
fore, Lord Welter was a total stranger, or he might have
been nervous at being locked up in a ro m alone, with a
desperate man, physically his equal, whom he had so sham-
fully wronged. Ile rose and leant against the chimney-
piece, looking at Charles.
" 1, did not know she was your sister, Charles. You must
do me that justice."
" Of course you did not. If—"
" I know what you are going to say—that I shouldi lnot
have dared, On my soul, Charles, I don't know; e ve
I dare do anything. But I tell you one thing—of all the
men who walk this earth, you are the last I would .
llingly
wrong. When I went off with Adelaide, I knew shele
not care sixpence for you. I knew she would have
never
you wretched. I knew better than you, b
was in love with her, and you were ; what aheecoaarrutless a
title
gave her, as she tried to sell herself to that sotemn. prig,
Lord Hainault, before. And I bought her, because a
hand-

some, witty, clever wife is a valuable chattel to a man like
me, who has to live by his wits."
" Ellen was as handsome and as clever as she. Why
did you not marry her ?" said Charles bitterly.
" If you will have the real truth, Ellen would have been
Lady Welter now, but-"
Lord Welter hesitated. Ile was a great rascal, and he
had a brazen front, but he found a difficulty in going on.
It must be, I should fancy, very hard work to tell all the
little ins and outs of a piece of villany one has been engaged
in, and to tell, as Lord Welter did on this occasion, the
exact truth.

" I am waiting," said Charles, " to hear you tell me why
she was not made Lady Welter."

" What, you will have it then? Weil, she was too
scrupulous. She was too honourable a woman for this line
of business. She wouldn't play, or learn to play—d—n it,
sir, you have got the whole truth now, if that will content
you.,,
" I believe what you say, my lord. Do you know that
Lieutenant Hornby made her an offer of marriage to-night ?"
" I supposed he would," said Lord Welter.
"And that she has refused him ?"
" I guessed that she would. Sho is your own sister.
Shall you try to persuade her ?"
" I would see her in her coffin first."

" So I suppose."
" She must come away from here, Lord Welter. I must
keep her and do what I can for her. We must pull
through it together somehow."
"She had better go from here. She is too good for this
hole. I must make provision for her to live with you."
"Not one halfpenny, my lord. She has lived too long
in dependence and disgrace already. We will pull through
together alone."

William comes out in the new character of a gen-
tleman, in which he acquits himself successfnlly
much to the satisfaction of Lord Saltire, who takes
a great interest in him, chiefly on account of his
past connection with Charles. In fact, William felt
that notwithstanding the grand reception he met
with at Lady Hanault's, it was after all a reflection
of their love for Charles, and be rejoiced at it.
With the exception of a chapter by Herbert F. lore,
on:the salmon, in which the preservation of that fish
and its peculiarities are minutely described. Lord
Derby once remarked that he never remembered
a session of Parliament without three bills about
salmon ; and a thrilling narrative of a shipwreak at
the Brissons, on the coast of Cornwall by Cecil
Horne, there is nothing of interest this month.
There are three biographies of Hugh Macdonald—
Alexis Toqueville, and the late Herbert Coleridge.
A sketch of a re-visit to Paris, and a chapter on
State Education ; its past and future. Some pleas-
ing verses, entitled " Day by Day," by Miss
Muloch, and last, not least (in length), "The Vic-
tories of Love," by Coventry Patin ore ; and certainly
if quantity can compensate for want of quality, this
poem, of which this ninth's contribution of fourteen
pages form only the second part, and which is to be
continued, it stands a chance of going down to pos-
terity aided by the trunkmaker.

The " Adventures of Philip en his way through
the World" is continued, and although Phillip's
cracked boots are introduced on every posible occa-
sion, his bold and independent character is brought
out in contradistinction to the cringing of his
cousin young Twisden. There are some clever
sketches of official character at the Ambassador's
office in Paris. Likewise, the hyaena mother of
poor little Charlotte (Phillip'sfuncee) is come out a
well defined type of her race, "A Week's imprison-
ment in Sark" is a long description of that small
dependency of Great Britain, in which all the
attractions of the place are noted, and, seeing that
the writer had wet weather all the time he was
there, and was imprisoned in his hotel the greater
part of the time, not being able to leave,
no boat being able to put to sea, the
island must have great attractions, for a man so
situated to be•ab(e to find a good word for it at all.
