Macmillan's Maganne.

The continuation of Mr. Kingsley's tale of Raven
shoe is as interesting as ever; new characters are
introduced, and a catastrophy of some sort is immi
nent. Lieutenant Hornby discovers Charles's real
name and his acquaintance with the villain of the
story, Lord Welter, and a sort of explanation between
them takes place. Charles is elected a member of
a club composed of coachmen and head-grooms
shortly after taking up his quarters in the mews
where Lieute%ant Hornby's horses were kept, and
he there learns something about Lord Welter which,
to a certain extent,opens his eves. As we have already
intimated, it was Lord Welter who seduced Ellen,
whom Charles believes to be his sister, and when
he finds that she is still in the keeping of Lord
Welter Charles will take summary vengeance.
Charles makes friends with a little shoeblack who
is to figure prominently hereafter. The character
of the little outcast and his affection for his sister
are beautifully described.
t, Why do you come so far then ?" asked Charles.
The boy told why he plodded so wearily, day after
day, over here in the West-end. It was for family reasons,
into which I must not go too closely. Somebody, it ap-
peared, still came home, now and then, just once in a way
to see her mother, and to visit the den where she was bred ;
and there was still left one who would wait for her week
after week—still one pair of childish feet, bare and dirty,
that would patter back beside her—still one childish voice
that would prattle with her on the way to her hideous home
and call her sister.

"Have you any brothers ?"
Five altogther. Jim was gone for a sojer, it appeared;
and Nipper was sent over the water. Harry was on the
Cross—
"On the cross ?" said Charles.

" Al 1" the boy said, " He goes out cly-faking and such,
He's a prig, and a smart one, too. He's fly, is Harry."
•' But what is cly-faking ?" said Charles.
" Why a prigging of wipes, and sneeze-boxes, and ridi-
cules, and such."

Charles was not so ignorant of slang phrase as not to
understand what his little friend meant now. He said,—
" But you are not a thief, are you ?"
The boy looked up at him frankly and honestly, and
said,—
" Lord bless you, no I I shouldn't make no hand of that.
I ain't brave enough for that I"
He gave the boy twopence, and gave orders that one
penny was to be spent in a ball. And then ho sauntered
listlessly away—every day more listless, and not three
weeks gene yet I
His mind returned to this child very often. He found
himself thinking more about the little rogue than he could
explain. The strange babble of the child, prattling so
innocently, and, as he thought, so prettily, about vice, and
crime, and misery; about one brother transported, one a
thief—and you see he could love his sister even to the very
end of it at all ! Strange babble indeed from a child's lips !
He thought of iragain and again, and then, dressing
himself plainly, he went up to Grosvenor-square where
Mary would be walking with Lord llainault's children.
He wanted to hear them talk.

For the second time Charles sees Mary and this
time, from what he overhears, he begins to find out
that her love for him is more than sisterly affection.
He returned home moralising after this manner :
He was thinking now, in his way, about these children—
about Gus and Flora on the one hand, and the little shoe-
black on the other. Both so innocent and pretty, and yet
so different I He had taken himself from the one world
and thrown himself into the other. There were two worlds
and two standards—gentlemen and non-gentlemen. The
"lower orders" did not seem to be so particular about the
character of their immediate relations as the upper. That
was well, for he belonged to the former now, and had a
sister. If one of Lord Charles Herries's children had gone
wrong, Gus and Flora would never have talked of him or
her to a stranger. He must learn the secret of this armour
which made the poor so invulnerable. He must go and
talk to the little shoeblacc

He thought that was the reason why ho went to look
after the little rogue next day; but that was not the real
reason. The reason was, that he had found a friend in a
lower grade than himself; who would admire him and look
up to him. The first friend of that sort he had made since
his fall I What that friend accidentally saved him from,
wo shall see.

The Derby-day at length arrived. On the course
he comes across Adelaide, now Lady Welter. She
has succeeded in persuading her seducer to marry
her, and the Epsom meeting is her first appearance
in public. Charles is shocked to see the change
that one short month has made in the girl he once

Her back was towards him, of course ; yet he guessed
she was beautitnl. " She is a fast woman, Gol help her 1"
said he; and he determined to go and look at her.
He sauntered past the carriage, and turned to look at
her. It was Adelaide.

As faultlessly beautiful as ever, but ah—how changed.
The winning petulance, so charming in other days, was
gone from that face for ever. Hard, stern, proud, defiant,
she sat there upright, alone. Fallen from the society of all
women of her own rank, she knew—who better ?—that not
one of those men chattering around her would have borne to
see her in the company of his sister, viscountess though
she were, countess and mother of earls as she would be.
They laughed, and lounged, and joked before her; and she
tolerated them, and cast her gibes hither and thither among
them, bitterly and contemptuously. It was her first ap-
pearance in the world. She had been married three days.
Not a woman would speak to her : Lord Welter had
coarsely told her so that morning; and bitterness and
hatred were in her heart. It was for this she had bartered
honour and good fame. She had got her title, flung to her
as a dog by Welter; but her social power, for which she
had sold herself, was lower, far lower, than when she was
poor Adelaide Summers.
It is right that it should be so, as a rule; in her case it
was doubly right.
Presently Lord Welter came swinging in among them ;
he looked terribly savage and wild, and Charles thought he
had been drinking. Knowing what he was in this mood,
and knowing also the mood Adelaide was in, he dreaded
some scene. " But they cannot quarrel so soon," he
thought.
" How d'ye do ?" said Welter to the knot of men round
his wife's carriage. " Lady Welter, have your people got
any champagne, or anything of that sort ?'
" I suppose so ; you had better ask them."
She had not forgotten what he said to her that morning
so brutally. She saw ha was madly angry, and would have
liked to make him commit himself before these men. She
had fawned, and wheedled, and flattered for a month ; but
now she was Lady Welter, and he should feel it
Welter looked still more savage, but said nothing. A
man brought him some wine ; and, as he gave it to him,
Adelaide said, as quietly as though she were tolling him
that there were some dust on his coat,—
_ . _ _

" You had better not take too much of it ; you seem to
have had enough already. Sir Robert Ferrers here is very
taciturn in his cups, I am told ; but you make such a ter-
rible to-do when you are drunk."
They should feel her tongue, these fellows I They might
come and dangle about her carriage-door, and joke to one
another, and look on her beauty as if she were a doll ; but
they should feel her tongue I Charles's heart sank within
him as he heard her. Only a month gone, and she
desperate I _

Lord Ascot's horse Haphazard wins the Derby con-
trary to orders, his owner having betted against
him, as has likewise Lord %eller, who at the re-
sult of the race prepares to heave the country. We
may look forward to some curious revelations next
month. " A Zulu Foray" is an account of a Kaffir
plundering expedition some sixty years ago. " The
Victories of Love," by Coventry Patmore, is written
in this author's usual style. Its poetical beauties
will doubtless be pleasing to those who admire
the author's productions. The second part of
" Good and Evil" is as clear, clever, and intel-
ligible as the first, but we confess that
its point and object are beyond our apprehension.
and we fear that of most of the readers of Macmil-
lan's Magaine. A letter from an eminent lawyer
in New York on the American question is one of
the besl treatises on the subject we have yet met
with. The writer takes an impartial view of both
sides of the question, and enters at considerable
length on the question of slavery:—
Aside from the bad ambition of the leading Southern
politicians, the real cause of revolt is the manifest weaken-
ing of the power of the slaveholders to subordinate the legis-
lation and administration of the country to the promotion
of slavery, and the growing power and coming prepon-
derance of the North, and its supposed purpose to use that
power, so far as it constitutionally may, to restrict slavery
within its present enormous territorial limits, and save
from its blighting influences the territories now free.
During the revolution, and while the Government was
forming, there was a common belief throughout the land,
north and south, that slavery is wrong. The intellect of
the nation was aroused and enlightened, and its conscience
touched. All agreed that slavery ought in some way to be
brought to an end. 'With the invention of the cotton-gin
came the means of turning slave labour to greatly increased
profit ; the love of gain and of power stifled the sentiments
of justice; and the purpose was formed to maintain slavery
at all hazards. But it could not be maintained by excuses.
It was especially hard to admit slaveholding to be wrong,
yet insist on its extension; so a new doctrine was started,
of which Mr. Calhoun was the great advocate—that it was
the right and duty of the white man, that it was just_a,n,!'
kind to the black man, to hold the negro in bondage .
gave to the slaveholder a weapon in place of a shield,aa
he was able consistently to become aggressive. Tne—ao_m
of the righteousness of slavery lies at the basis of vac) late

revolt. Mr. Stephens, the Vice-President of the Confede-
rate States, said, in a speech at the seat of the now Go-
vernment, intended to be an exposition of the superiority
wa
of the Constitutionof the Confederate States, "The prel-
ing ideas entertained by Mr. Jeffersonand most of the leading
Statesmen at the time of the formation of the old constitution
were, that the ens avement of the African was in violation
of the law of nature—that it was wrong in principle,
socially, morally, and politically
Thisrestedwas an onthe
error. ltwas a assumption

ideas. however, were fundamentally wrong. They
Go-
vernment to be built upon; and, whenthe storm came and
the wind blew, it fell.' Our new Government is founded
forof a r aecs.
upon exactly the opposite ideas; its foundations are laid,
its corner-stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro
is nat equal to the white man—that slavery, subordination
to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition.
This our new Government is the first in the history of
the world based upon this great physical, philosophical,
and moral heath."
For at least thirty-five years the proud, plucky, but pes-
tilent state of South Carolina has been educating the
Southern mind in this doctrine, and preparing it to ai,ipt
any means necessary to make it the ruling principle of the
Government. If the Free States could been•lxed oi bellied
into its support, the Union might • tend ; if not, it was to
be broken. In or out of the Union, the slaveholdhag dogma
of the righteousness of slavery, and the duty of Govern..
ment to uphold and promote it, must rule.
After reviewing the enactments made from-time to
time by the various States regarding the restoration
of fugitive slaves, the writer thus concludes :
In bringing this subject to a close, let me add, that to
me one of the most impressive phases of this matter is the
retributive nature of the troubles and sufferings we are
undergoing. The institution of slavery has fostered) and
established in Southern men a proud, imperious, disdainful,
and arrogant temper. It has led them to scorn labour, to
be bitter of speech, apt at insults, ready with the murderous
blow. It has led the n to greatly overrate their own im-
portance, courage, and prowess, and to underrate the
bravery, skill, determination, and resources of the men of
the North. On the other hand, the Northern men have
yielded in an unmanly way to the unjust asumptions of
Southern men—have been led, by undue regard for peace,
pelf, or place, to shut their eyes to the humiliations to which
the South was continually subjecting them. All are now
paying the accumulated penalties of their misconduct.
"From London to Ballachulish and Back" is a
sketch of a holiday excursion to the north of Scot-
land. Under the head of " Masters and Work-
men," it is maintained that the only satisfactory
termination of the dispute will be a resolve on both
sides to act in a sort of partnership, or, in other
words, to open their eyes to the fact that their in-
terests are one and the same. There are chapters
on the Naples Question, Natural Science, on Schools
and on General Education, and a paper on the Lon-
don Musical Season.
The Popular Science _Review. No. I. Robert

Hard vvicke.
This is the first appearance of a new quarterly,
edited by .Tames Samuelson. It is devoted prin-
cipally to scientific pursuits, but zoology, entomo-
logy, botany, and various subjects are treated of.
Among the scientific papers one upon "Iron and
Steel" is one of the most interesting. A chapter
on "The Lowest Form of Life" gives a minute ac-
count of the peculiarities and habits of animalculse
and polypi. The West Coast of Equatorial
Africa is described, and accounts of the habits
of its savage inhabitants, their horrible "fetish
worship," human sacrifices, and canibalism, form the
geographical quota; and " The Breath of Life,'
and some miscellaneous papers do duty for the
medical department. There is no lack of interest-
ing and instructive matter, and if the Review of
Popular Science be continued in the able manner
in which the first number has been produced, it is
pretty sure to hold its own among the numerous
quarterlies now published, and to be well received
by the public.

The plot thickens, although nothing decisive has
as yet taken place. Felix Graham meets with a
tall in following Miss Tristram and Peregrine Orme
out of the covert, by which he breaks au arm
and some of his ribs. Miss Tristram bontinues her
course, but Peregrine returns to his friend. Pre-
sently the Judge with his daughter Madeleine and
Miss Furnival arrive, when, in her anxiety to assist
Graham, Madeleine allows her love for him to be
discovered by more than one individual, amongst
whom is young Peregrine Orme, but he neverthe-
less proposes to her in his blunt, off-handed way,
and is, of course, refused. Mr. Crabwitz pays a
visit to Hamwnrth under a false name, and endea-
vours to bribe Dockwrath to throw up the case, but
fails, and the Hamworth attorney is determined.
In his interview with Joseph Mason and Mat Round,
Dockwrath, believing that Round is favouring Lady
Mason, becomes rude, and is nearly turned out of
the office by the London lawyer, whom he hates
for the contempt with which he looks down upon
him: The case will eventually fall entirely into
the bands of Mr: Dockwrath, but what the ulti-
mate result will prove time alone can as yet shew.
Lucius Mason, who has not appeared on the scene
in this number will, doubtless, not only have a
finger in the pie, but will also put his foot in it.

Rally's Sporting ffagazine.
This magazine contains a portrait and biography
of General Peel. The engraving is executed with
he same ability as the previous frontispieces in this
magazine. The Gentleman in Black furnishes a
paper entitled "Lethifer Auctumnus," in which there
is a good deal about dogs and guns. Id a chapter
on "Fishing and Fishermen" some good advise is
given to would-be anglers, and those who have never
had any practical experience, are advised not to talk
too much from what they have read in hooks; and
the writer observes that it is quite possible to visit
Wales without being laughed at, because you do not
carry a creel on your back and a rod in your hand.
" Hunting in the Himalaya, the Serai, and Cash-
mere" we find an account of a tiger hunt, and general
description of the country. Some pages are devoted
to the review of Scrutator's " Recollections of a
Foxhunter." Cricket and other sport of the month
are reviewed, and the general sporting intelligence.

?HE NAVY.

CHATHAM, Oct. 2.—The iron-plaled frigate De-
fence, 18, is still lying alongside the sheer-hulk in
this harbour, and it is now a matter of doubt as to
whether she will be taken into dock during
the approaching spring tides, as her masts have not
yet arrived at this establishment. The progress of
the work will not, however, be much retarded in
consequence of any delay in docking her, as much
still remains to be done in the interior of the vessel,
whichisbeingrapidly proceeded with. The Defence
is to be at once handed over to the dockyard autho-
rities, and a screw-steamer has to•day arrived for
the purpose of conveying to the factory of the
builders, Messrs. Palmer Brothers, Jarrow, on the
Tyne, the whole of their gear remaining in the ship
together with the workmen sent from their esta-
blishment for the purpose of completing her. Many
of the hands have, however, obtained work in this
dockyard, where there seems to be a good prospect
for skilful workers in iron, in consequence of the
immense amount of iron ship-building in progress
and in contemplation. No. 3 dock in this yard is
now is perfect readiness for the reception of the
Defence, the whole of the blocks having been re-
duced to a level of 4inches from the bed of the dock
to increase the depth of water.
Yesterday the operation of planking the iron-
cased steam frigate Royal Oak, 51, building at Chat-
ham, was commenced by the shipwrights employed
on her, of whom there are upwards of 200. The
planking on which her iron plates will be placed
will be of teak, 12 in. in thickness, tapering down
to a minimum thickness of 5 in. at a depth of 5 ft.
below the water-line. The object of bolting the
iron plates on teak instead of oak planking is
that the peculiar oil from the former wood is
expected to act as a preservative to the iron,
while the acids from oak planking are found to
be exceedingly injurious to iron, on which they
have a singularly destructive effect. The
energy with which the building of the Royal
Oak is now carried on leaves little room for doubt
that she will be completed And afloat in a very little
more than 12 months.
Yesterday a number of additional caulkers and
shipwrights were placed on the President, 51, fit

ting in the fourth dock at Chatham, in order to

expedite her completion. As soon as the fourth
dock is at liberty it will be occupied by the Nankin,
or one of the other 51-gun sailing frigates, to be
converted into screw steamers.

The War Department transport Henry, Mr. John
Bull commander, was placed under the steam crane
at the Ordnance-wharf, Chatham, yesterday, and
landed six of the new 20-pounder Armstrong guns,
together with 400 cases of 100-pounder shot and
400 cases of 20-pounder Armstrong shot, for the
guns ordered to be distributed to the forts and ships
at Chatham. The Henry likewise brought a new
ambulance waggon for the use of the sick troops at
Fort Pitt Hospital.

The Julia, screw gun-vessel, belonging to the first

class steam reserve, was taken alongside the wharf
at Chatham yesterday, and landed her 68. pounder
guns, preparatory to receiving her 100-pounder
Armstrongs, with which all the gunboats are to be
armed.

Among the many visitors to the Warrior at
Portsmouth yesterday were Lord Palmerston, Rear
Admiral Jones, and Mr. Bentinck, M.P. The throng
of visitors to the ship continues undiminished.
The Chesapeake, 50, screw, flag of Rear-Admiral
Jones, whose arrival at Spithead from China was
announced in The Sun of yesterday, remains at
Spithead awaiting orders.
The Chesapeake has made a beautiful run home.
She has only been twelve days under steam. Her
dates are—from Hong Kong, 22d May ; arrived at
Singapore, Bth June, left 15th; arrived at the
Mauritius, 6th July, left 10th; arrived at the Cape,
31st July,left Bth Aug.; arrived at St. Helena 22d,
and left 24th; arrived at Ascension, 29th Aug., and
left same day for England. It is not certain as to
her being paid off at this port.
The Emerald, 51, screw frigate, Captain Arthur
Cumming, at Portsmouth, took in Armstrong guns
yesterday in lieu of GS pouuders.
Mr. W. 11. Ward, the inventor and patentee of
the system of Ocean Marine Telegraph, now in use
on board the ships of the Channel fleet, exhibited
with the authority of the Admiralty at Portsmouth
on Wednesday evening the mode of working the
night signals portion of his system. The four
lanterns, or rather signal lamps, which are used
for the purpose were hung from the crossjackyard
of the Shannon frigate, lying off the dockyard at her
harbour moorings, and were read and answered from
the platform of the King's Stairs, where Rear-Ad-
miral the Hon. George Grey, superientendent of
the dockyard, and other officers were assembled.
Mr. Ward, having seen his lamps fixed in a per-
pendicular position on board the Shannon, explained
the mannerof their working to some seamen signal-
men that had been seat on board for the purpose
from her Majesty's ships Warrior and Asia. So
simple is the working of the signals that, on Mr.
Ward being sent for on shore to explain his method
to Rear-Admiral Grey, the men on board the Shan-
non, who had never before seen the lamps or their
mode of working, signalled with them " Reef top-
sails," spelling each word through from the alpha-
betical code, as thus—showing one red and three
white lights for "R," the change in the disposition
of the lights each time representing a letter. The
operator stands with four small lines in each hand,
by pulling which he exhibits " White," "Red,"
or "Black," as required to give the letter,
Numerals are given with three lamps. The whole
of the lamps "flashed" by raising or lowering
the screens quickly three times denote the end of a
number, word, or sentence. This is simply accord-
ing to the inventor's code, which simply N:elis each
sentence trau,mitted, but the same alphabetical
letters and numerals applied to the present Admi-
ralty vocabulary would not, perhaps, have a greater
range, for that would be impossible, but it would
convey professional sentences in an incredibly short
time.

Yesterday Mr. Ward submitted to Admiral Grey
and Capt. Cochrane, one of his portable signal steer-
ing lamps, which, by exhibiting a red, green, or
white light, conveys from forward to the quarter-
master at the.helin the order to " steady," " port,"
" starboard," as may be required, and which he
acknowledges receiving by repeating the signal
from a similar lamp in his possession at the wheel
