The CornCll Magazine.

Philip's independence of spirit is rendering him
uncourteous and at times unbearable. He himself
asks Pendennis, " As for me, haven't you remarked
that since I have not a guinea in the world, I
swagger and am a much greater swell than be-
fore?"—" And the truth is," adds his biographer,
" that a Prince Royal could • not have called for
his glass with a more magnificent air than Mr.
Philip, when he summoned the waiter and paid
for his petit verve." Little Charlotte suffers, too,
from the jealousy and arrogance of her lover.
" Such sentiments as Mr. Philip felt strongly, he
expressed with an uproar." We cannot say
that Philip Firmin, with many good qualities to
admire, improves upon acquaintance. The same
remark might apply to the narrative of his adven-
tures. Pleasant as it is to hear Mr. Thackeray
discourse, and full of truth (not always plea-
sant) as are his discourses, he suffers hinthlf
at times to fall into a rambling style, repeating
himself, and recounting twice told tales. Like
the king of old, too often he " fights all his
battles o'er again, and thrice he slays the slain."
Admiring Mr. Thackeray so genuinely as we do,
we are the more disappointed when we see him
thus frittering away his powers—powers so well
qualified to charm, and instruct, and elevate. In the
present instalment the writer turns away (as is his
wont) from the current of his story to describe the
character and difficulties of Madame Smolensk, the
lady of the Boarding-house in Paris, where General
Baynes and his farn ly are staying. So well is this
done that we almost pardon the digression; e.g., here
is a picture of the hostess :

THE PRESENT DISTRESS IN TRADE
fully explained in J. GROSSMITH'S
" GOVERNMENT UPON FIRST PRINCIPLES."
The cause is there predicated of the monetary difficulties ex
perienced in 1860. The Crisis is at hand. Anxiety in bus
nese has now became the grim torture. Purity of motive,
intelligently ex,rcieed, must animate all Governments, or all
is lost, All denominations of Constitutions are carefully
examined in J. Grossmith's "Government upon First Prin-
ciples."

medical staff at Fort Pitt, and had subsequently
been inspected by the Commissioners of Chelsea
Hospital, left St. Mary's Barracks and received
their fall discharge from the service. At the same

time 30 men of efferent corps, who had been sent
up to Chatham to be discharged, left the invalid
establishment and proceeded to their various depots,
the examination of them having satisfied the autho-
rities that they were fit for further military service.
The dismantling of the forts and batteries at
Chatham by the removal of the old and worn-out
guns with which many of the works are defended,
is being proceeded with by the party of Royal
Artillery under the direction of the master-gunner
of the garrison. The guns and howitzers, as they
are dismounted, are returned into the Ordnance
stories, from which they will not be again issued.
Yesterday the Royal Artillery completed the re-
moval of the 24-pounder guns from the top of the
casemates at St. Mary's, most of which have been
lying there for a great number of years, without
ever firing so much as a blank cartridge. The small
18-pounders, with which the old tower battery at
Prince's-bridge, Gillingham, built in the reign of
Charles 1., was armed, have also been removed.
None of the batteries or forts thus dismounted will
be again armed, the new line of fortifications about
to be commenced at Chatham, as well as those
building mid-distant between Chatham and the
Nore, being considered amply sufficient for the pro-
tection of the dockyard and garrison should any
hostile•attempt -be-made upon them. The Royal
Artillery are expected to be occupied about a fort-
night longer in dismounting the guns at Chatham,
so great is the number that have become perfectly
useless.

TEA.—The operations have been limited, but good and
fine qualities fully sustain previous rates.
SUGAR.—Good and fine descriptions of West India have
been in fair demand at late values, but foreign qualities have
slightly declined, owing to the large quantity on offer. In
the refined market there has been a steady business tran-
sacted, without any material change in quotations.
COFFEE.—For the better descriptions of plantation Cey-
lon there has been a more active inquiry, and full rates have
been readily obtained at public sale; ordinary qualities
have also sustained previous quotations.
RICE.—The demand for export has increased, and prices
generally tend upwards for good and fine qualities of Java
and East Indian.
SALTPETRE.—OnIy moderate transactions have been
entered into, and there is little change of importance to
report in values.

confined principally to operations for forward delivery.

THE M.P.'s SEP2'EMB ER SONG.

Ain—" Pm Afloat."
We are up! I'm adrift I What matters it where ?
So I'm free from long speeches, late hours, and bad air ?
I have pulled throuh the Session, a model Nis.,
Till they voted supply to its last s. D.
I've sat on when all rational n*n had left town,
Till the pavements were up, and the window-blinds down;
I've seen all the bores on their hobbies astride ;
Irish Members, for once, in one lobby divide
I've heard Pam upon Arts ; I've heard Osborne on arms;
And Roebuck expatiate on Austria's charms ;
But even such wonders have palled upon me,
And I'm thankful to think I am free, I am free!
Ha! Ha I Ha! &c.
I have watched the cool Whips, moving slyly about,
To make it all snug for an easy Count Out,
When some proser of fifty-bore-power got his night,
And rose strong in papers, in wind, and in fight.
I have seen the obedient retreat of the pack
From the benches before him, and those at his back,
Till the limit was reached, and the fatal demand
For a " count" freed the House--a glad holiday band !
But that joy was still chequered ; we knew that the chain
We flung off tho next morning would rivet again,
But now every morn as it riseth for me,
But confirms the glad news that I'm free—l am free I
Ha! Ha! Ha! &o.
Long vacations may brighten the lawyer's dim eyes;
Cockney shopmen their sniff of the briny may prize ;
Old Paterfamilias may rub off his cares
In the pleasures of Margate, the calm of Broadstairs;
The stout Alpine-club man, more lives than a cat
May risk on the ice of Mont Blanc or Zermatt;
The Yachtsman may boast of his craft, and his pride
In cruisings on Solent, and landings at Ryde ;
But of all to whom August brings liberty back,
'I here's none like the overworked Parliament hack.
None can relish a roll out of harness like me
When, the Session once up, I am free, I am free!
Hal Ha! Hai &c.
—Punch.

CORN EXCHANGE.

Fresh up to-day the receipts of English wheat were very
moderate. Both red and white qualities of new moved off
steadily at quite Monday's advance of 2s. to 3s. per quarter ;
but in old samples sales progressed slowly on former terms.
The demand for foreign wheat was by no means active.
Nevertheless, importers were firm in their demands, and
the quotations were well maintained.
Floating cargoes of grain were in steady request at very
full prices.
We were very moderately supplied with barley, and the
trade ruled firm at extreme rates.

The business doing in malt was, for the most part, con-
fined to the finer qualities at previous rates.
In the value of oats no change took place. The trade
was firm.

Both beans and peas changed hands slowly at late cur-
rencies.

The flour trade was firm, and prices were well supported.

filled up," by Professor KeHard, is a sketch from
recent astronomical history, showing how the law
laid down by Bode formed the basis on which
Adams and Leverrier founded their preliminary
hypotheses. The following novel mode of making
astronomical calculations is related by Leverrier
A medical practitioner residing in the provinces of France
had been addicted to astronomy from his infancy, and for
twenty years had been ruminating on the law of Bode ; and,
being led, by studying that law, to believe the possibility
of th existence of a planet between Mercury and the sun,
he had argued that, if there is such a planet, he must often
cross the sun's disk. Accordingly, whenever his professional
duties allowed him leisure during the day, he set himself
on the watch. On the 26th of March, 1859, he observed
the passage of the body he had been looking for. This cir-
cumstance is made known to Leverrier soon after the publi-
cation of the memoir referred to. He hastens down to the
country, and marches up to the doctor's residence. The worthy
man whose name is Lescarbault, submits to the astronomer's
cross-examination. He demands the record of the obser-
vations, and it is found covered with grease and laudanum,
performing the :part of marker in the Connaissance des
7cmps. He asks for the rough drafts of the calculations
which have led M. Lescarbault to the conclusion that the
planet's distance is half that of Mercury. " The rough
drafts I" exclaims the doctor. " Paper is rather scarce with.
us. lam a joiner as well as a doctor. I calculate in my
workshop, and I write upon the boards; and, when I wish,
to use them in new calculations, I plane off the old ones,"
If Mr. Buckle does not render his name immortal
by his genius he stands a fair chance of it, front
the attention paid to him by the critics. We have
this month part the third of the editor's review of
his work. A paper on " Serfdom in Russia," by
Nicholas Rowe, gives a history of the Russian serf
from the earliest time. " The- Restoration—a
Fragment," is great nonsense; it has no plot, and
is very unnatural. A review of Mr. Alexander
Smith's former poems and his new one is the lut
contribution.

Earl of Cardigan. The case is already well known
to our sporting readers. The best paper in the

is well described. A summary of cricketing, " Our• Van," and general sporting information, are

FALL OF A WAREHOUSE FLOOR AT AN AUC-
TION.—A serious accident happened on Wednesday at an
auction sale which was going on at Halifax. About forty
persons were assembled on the second floor of a warehouse,
lately occupied by Messrs. J. and G. Eamshaw, dyers and
stuff finishers, Bath Parade, when the floor gave way, and
gradually sank into the room below, taking about twenty
people with it. Mr. John Crossley (of Messrs. T. and R.
Crossley), Bailey Hall Dyeworks, had his ankle shock-
ingly fractured, and the other leg injured. Mr. Watson
Nicholson, woolatapler, had his arm hurt, and he left was

medical staff at Fort Pitt, and had subsequently
been inspected by the Commissioners of Chelsea
Hospital, left St. Mary's Barracks and received
their fall discharge from the service. At the same
time 30 men of different corps, who had been sent
up to Chatham to be discharged, left the invalid
establishment and proceeded to their various depots,
the examination of them having satisfied the autho-
rities that they were fit for further military service.

The dismantling of the forts and batteries at
Chatham by the removal of the old and worn-out
guns with which many of the works are defended,
is being proceeded with by the party of Royal
Artillery under the direction of the master-gunner
of the garrison. The guns and howitzers, as they
are dismounted, are returned into the Ordnance
stories, from which they will not be again issued.
Yesterday the Royal Artillery completed the re
moval of the 24-pounder guns from the top of the
casemates at St. Mary's, most of which have been
lying there for a great number of years, without
ever firing so much as a blank cartridge. The small
18-pounders, with which the old tower battery at
Prince's-bridge, Gillingham, built in the reign of
Charles 1., was armed, have also been removed.
None of the batteries or forts thus dismounted will
be again armed, the new line of fortifications about
to be commenced at Chatham, as well as those
building mid-distant between Chatham and the
Nore, being considered amply sufficient for the pro-
tection of the dockyard and garrison should any
hostile attempt be made upon them. The Royal
Artillery are expected to be occupied about a fort-
night longer in dismounting the guns at Chatham,
so great is the number that have become perfectly
useless.

THE 111.P.'s SEP TEMB ER SONG.

AlR—^" Afloat."
We are up! I'm adrift I What matters it where ?
So I'm free from long speeches, late hours, and bad air ?
I have pulled throuh the Session, a model M.P.,
Till they voted supply t 3 its last £ S. D.
I've sat on when all rational men had left town,
Till the pavements were up, and the window-blinds down;
I've seen all the bores on their hobbies astride ;
Irish Members, for once, in one lobby divide ;
I've heard Pam upon Arts; I've heard Osborne on arms;
And Roebuck expatiate on Austria's charms ;
But even such wonders have palled upon me,
And I'm thankful to think I am free, I am free !

Ha! Ha I Ha! &c.
I have watched the cool Whips, moving slyly about,
To make it all snug for an easy Count Out,
When some proser of fifty-bore-power got his night,
And rose strong in tapers, in wind, and In fight.
I have seen the obedient retreat of the pack
From the benches before him, and those at his back,
Till the limit was resched, and the fatal demand
For a " count" freed the House—a glad holiday band I
But that joy was still chequered ; we knew that the chain
We flung off the next morning would rivet again,
But now every morn as it riseth for me,
But confirms the glad news that I'm free—l am free !
Ha I Hal Ha I &c.
Long vacations may brighten the lawyer's dim eyes ;
Cockney shopmen their sniff of the briny may prize ;
Old Paterfamilias may rub off his cares
In the pleasures of Margate, the calm of Broadstairs ;
The stout Alpine-club man, more lives than a cat
May risk on the ice of Mr)nt Blanc or Zermatt;
The Yachtsman may boast of his craft, and his pride
In cruisings on Solent, and landings at Ryde ;
But of all to whom August brings liberty back,
'I here's none like the overworked Parliament hack.
None can relish a roll out of harness like me
When, the Session once up, I am free, I am free !
Ha! Ha I Ha! &c.

Trig TERRIBLE COLLISION ON TBE
LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY.

BRIGHTON, THURSDAY.

The sufferers by the frightful catastrophe in the
Clayton tunnel are doing well. Three of the seven
patients in the County Hospital have been dis-
charged as convalescent—Thomas and Geo. Noble,
brothers, who received scalp wounds and were much
shaken, and Thomas Parker, who suffered under
severe bruises and contusions. The four remaining
patients in the County Hospital are Elizabeth
Westcott, bruised and scalded; W. Arnold, right
leg amputated below the knee ; Timothy Tester,
severely scalded and bruised ; and the little
child, Ed wing, of London, whose arm was severely
scalded, and both whose legs were broken. No re-
lapse is apprehended by the medical men, from pre-
sent appearance, in either of the cases.
The London papers, containing the scene in the
Coroner's Court yesterday, upon the threatened
committal of Mr. Slight, the company's secretary,
have been in great demand.
The Coroner's inquest has been postponed until
after the next board meeting of the Loudon and
Brighton directors, which will scarcely take place
before Monday. If they will confide the custody
of the documents required by the Coroner to some
officer of the company other than Mr. Faithfull,
the solicitor, and send that official into the Coro-
ner's court with the papers in his possession, the
Coroner will, on his refusal to produce them,
commit him to prison. Should they, however, be
advised that the documents are privileged commu-
nications, it is not expected they will take this
course, but leave the Coroner to settle the matter
with the company's solicitor, who yesterday ad-
mitted that the documents are in his possession.

TRULY EFFICACIOUS AND MILD.—
Dr. SCOTT'S BILIOUS and LIVER PILLS, pre-

other Powers will abdicate their privileges, and
leave the arbitrament of European affairs to her
alone. When she arms, others, unless they wish
to be reduced to political ciphers, must arm also.
If the Empire had really been peace, according
to the original programme—if France had held
out both hands to her neighbours, instead of
keeping one on her sword-hilt then we might
have discarded all ideas of war. As it is we
could only do as she has done herself—take her
right hand in all frankness with our right hand
and reserve our left for defence. We do not in
the least degree suppose. that France regards us
with any feelings of enmity. We give her all the
welcome" which she has invited—viz., a com-
mercial welcome. If she will cast aside her sword,
and renounce her claims to arbitrate by that
weapon, we will give her a " sympathetic response"
on that point also. But when the very speaker
who complains of our mistrust confesses by his
own words that the only alternative would be na-
tional helplessness, we have no choice left us.
We acknowledge without reserve that we do not
imagine the armaments of France to be directed
against the invasion of England. We believe the
Emperor to be perfectly sincere in his avowed
estimation of the English alliance, but we cannot
feel absolutely certain that every step which France
may take in her capacity of European champion
may command our sympathy and acquiescence.
We have mighty interests in every quarter of the
globe. We must have our say on. many a ques-
tion beyond our own shores. To do that with the
least chance of offence we must co it on terms of
equality. In other words,England must be as strong
as France, and never could truer words be uttered
than those with which Lord Palmerston concluded
his speech, when he plainly declared that such
equality of power as produced mutual respect offered
the only solid foundation for amity and peace be-
tween States.— limes.
