TIIE LATE GALE.—The ammometer at Lloyd's
marked 36 pounds pressure on the quare foot on Thursday
evening, at half-past six o'clock. As this is the heaviest
gale recorded here for very
many years, it will be interest-
ing to see the above result compred with the notes of
observers at different stations._

The bar silver by the Wet India steamer has
been disposed of at 61. d. per ounc, showing a decline of
1,1. front the previous price. The filing off in the demand
for India, owing to the high rateof money here, is the
cause of this reduction.

LITERATURE.

The Constable of the Tower. By W. Harrison
Ainsvforth.
Another instalment of this enthralling romance
incomparably the best instalment that has yet
appeared, as the narrative itself gives promise of
proving when completed, the most resplendently
elaborated of all Mr. Ainsworth's historical-roman-

tic masterpieces—adorns the newly issued March
number of Bentley's Miscellany. Half a dozen
more chapters have here carried us already deep
into the intricate labyrinth of the plot. At every
turn, too, in the maze of the story we come upon
new characters, or better still (as will be seen im-
mediately), upon old, old friends, not in any way,
happily with new faces, but rather with faces and
forms, and even costumes, many of them long since
delightfully familiar. In this way it is that,
as we are accompanying at the romancist's
instance the royal cortege attendant upon the Boy
King Edward VI., while he is making the round of
that half fortress, half prison, the grey old palace
of The Tower of London, the Tower of which the
nominal hero of this fiction is THE CONSTABLE, we
come suddenly upon our little eltrich acquaintance

SYRIA.

At the moment when the Conference on the ques-
tion of Syria has met, it may not be without inte-
rest to publish the following circular of the French
Minister of Foreign Affairs, dated 18th January :

Monsieur,—We are approaching the term fixed
by the convention of the sth of Sept. last for the
duration of the occupation of Syria. I have several
times had to mention to yos the intentions of the
Emperor's Government on the subject. Invested
with the mission of executing decision 3 come to in
common, we are desirous, above all, of fulfilling the
conditions on which we have received this mandate.
For that reason, however, we consider it a duty,
before quitting Syria, to enable the Powers to exa-
mine in concert whether the departure of the
expeditionary corps at the period agreed upon can
be effected without danger for the tranquillity of
the country, and it appears to us opportune to call
their attention to this fact.
" The Powers did not propose to themselves any
political object in Syria, and the Emperor's Govern-
ment entirely coincided with their ideas. They
pursue a work of humanity ;
has that been accom
plished ? The Cabinets are as well acquainted
as we are with the real state of things, and know
how slowly the work of pacification has hitherto
progressed.
" The European Commission, instituted at Bey-
rout, had, in the first place, to provide for the most
urgent necessities, by causing on one side repa-
rations, and on the other punishments. That was,
however, only a part of its task, and not the most
important; it had to collect and propose to the
Powers the elements of the new arrangement which
was to b:3 combined with the Ottoman Government,
for the administration of the Mountain. This work,
in fact, is the indispensable complement of all the
other measures already taken or to be adopted in
common accord with the Porte. So long as this is
r of finished, it may be said that nothing has been
done; for in the state of disorder in which every-
thing
in Syria now is, the essential point is to fix
the conditions of the new Government of the
Lebanon, and it is that also which the Powers have
desired.

" Not only has that wish not been fulfilled, but
the Commission has scarcely come to the end of the
questions of repression and of indemnity as regards

DR. KAHN on MARRIAGE.--A new and
entirely re-written Edition (the 46th) of this celebrated
Treatise, with new Steel Plates, Woodcuts, kc., is now ready.
The object of the work is not to maintain any particular
hypothesis, but to enable every one to understand for himself
the structure and functions of the organs concerned in the
fulfilment of the physical obligations of the married state;
to acquaint him with the consequences arising from excesses ;
to prevent unnecessary misapprehension from unfounded
fears, and to indicate, when those fears are well founded, the
means of speedy relief. The work is not crowded with the
technicalities of ordinary professional books, nor does it pre-
sent the crudeness which characterises the so-called "popular
works" on the subject.

M INISTERIAL REPLY.

Lord J. RUSSELL—I quite agree with the hon. gen-
tleman who has just spoken, that it is the duty, of the Exe-
cutive Government to consider the proposals made by coin-,
mittees of the house with regard to branches of the Execu-
tive service of the Stale. Indeed, I cannot see how the
Executive Government could carry into effect the recom-
mendations of a committee without going into them in
detail, and seeing if they would,harmonise with the public
service. The report of the committee is a very
valuable report. Several ()commendations had been
made, the spirit of which has been always kept in view by
the Executive Government, and which had been carried
into effect from time to time. At the same time, however,
it would be impossible for the Executive Government,with
a due regard to duty,, and without going into matters of
detail, to adopt at once recommendations which might im-
pose a considerable charge upon the public revenue. We
find in consequence of the report of the committee that
Lord Malnaesbuiy very soon after the report of the commit-
tee stated to the Treasury that he had framed a scheme by
which the condition of many of the consuls would be improved
—that in many important places the salaries of consuls were
insufficient and slight to be increased, but he added that
the increase would amount to £12,000 a year, and the noble
lord very properly thought it his duty to consider the pro-
position in detail in contemplation of such a large increase.
When I succeeded to office I asked several official gentle-
men, and especially Lord Wodehouse, the Under 'secretary
of State, their opinion with regard to the recommendations
made by the committee. One of those recommendations
was that consuls in the Levant should be British subjects.
That recommendation we have endeavoured to carry out.
(Hear.) There was another recommendation which would
entail a very considerable burden on the country, namely,
that consuls should not trade. I admit that the objection
made by the committee on this point had weight, but there
are many places where there is very little British traie.
There you can get merchants of great respectability, but if

considerable salary for ,veryvice. If, on the other hand, you offer £l5O or £2OO a year,
lit ger
you would not find any person of respectability to accept the
terms. On the other hand yon will find men engaged in trade,
men of the highest respectability, and who mix in the best
society of the town, who would accept the smaller MILO. Such

STATE OP TRADE.

ANCHESTER, FEBRUARY 22.—There has been
little or no business offering, but it is reported that
prices are rather steadier for Blackburn yarns and
shirtings. This is attributed to a rather steadier
cotton market, and to an impression that the strike
at Blackburn will be amicably settled. The mas-
ters have offered to reconsider the question of short
time in a month if the workmen will work full time
till then, and though at a public meeting of the
operatives on Thursday these terms were rejected,
the manufacturers attending the market to-day
appear sanguine that most of their workpeople will
resume work on Monday. The
principal sales of
long cloths and T cloths are to the home trade, and
these goods are relatively the beat in prices in the
market, bit the value of these has been weaker this
week. The business in yarns has been very limited ,
and for most kinds sellers have had to accept lower
rates to press

January, 1852, Lady Clarissa Sarah Graham-Toler, fifth
daughter of Hector John, 2d Earl of Norbury, by whom
he leaves issue two daughters. The deceased baron is suc-
ceeeed by the Hon. Charles Cornwallis Neville (now sth
Baron Braybrooke), who was born in 1823, and married in
1849, the Hon. Florence Priscilla Alicia Maude, third
daughter of Cornwallis, 3d Viscount Hawarden. His pre-
sent lordship has no issue, and the remainder is in the Hon.

should, under the authority of the Governor and his
Council, distinctly pledge the faith of South
Carolina to make such compensation in regard
to Fort Sumter and its appurtenances and con-
tents to the full extent of the money value of the property
of the United States delivered over to the authorities of
South Carolina by your command." You then adopt his
Excellency's train of thought upon the subject so far as
relates to the suggestion that the possession of Fort Sumter
by the United States if continued long enough must lead to
a collision, and that an attack upon it would scarcely im-
prove it as property, whatever the result, and if captured it
would no longer be the subject of account. The proposal,
then, now presented to the President is simply an offer on
the part of South Carolina to buy Fort Sumter and contents
as property of the United States, sustained by a declara-
tion in effect that if she is not permitted to make the pur-
chase she will seize the fort by force of arms. _

He concluded as follows :—lf, with all the multiplied
proofs which exist of the President's anxiety for peace, and
of the earnestness with which he has pursued it, tho au-
thorities of South Carolina shall assault Fort Su ter and
peril the lives of the handful of brave and loyal men shut
up within its walls, and thus plunge our country into the
horrors of civil war, then upon them and those they re-
present must rest the responsibility. Your obedient ser-
vant, J. HOLT, Secretary of War.
To Hon. J. W. Hayne,
Attorney-General of the State of South Carolina.
THE LAST WORDS OF COL. RAYNE.

Washington, Feb. 8, 1861,
The following is the rejoinder of Colonel Hayne to the
communication of the Secretary of War, which was sent
to the President to-day, not in time, however, to be sent
with the documents which the President communicated
to Congress this morning. It closes up the interesting
correspondence which has been going on for some time,
and precludes any hope of settlement, or of long preventing
collision between the Federal and State authorities in the
harbour of Charleston.

Colonel Hayne expressed the opinion before leaving here
that an attack would shortly be made upon Fort Sumter,
and that it was the settled determination of the people of
South Carolina to take that fort at all hazards.

—Excellent Digestion.—ln the majority of persons loss of
appetite is the first indication of departing health—and

ailment by means of these purifying Pills. On reaching
the stomach they immediately correct heartburn, flatu-

MURDER BY A MUTE IN IRELAND.—We are
pained to announce that, on Wednesday night last, or early
on Thursday morning, a brutal murder was committed at
at Tullyallen, Tipping, in the neighbourhood of Newtown-

was a small farmer, named Peter M'Ardle, who resided
alone in a small cottage in Tullyallen. Collins was in the
habit of lodging now and again with the murdered man;
and it is stated that he is some remote relation of M'Ardle.
In the course of Friday the murderer was arrested. Col-

stating that two neighbours (whom he named at the time)
had told him to "murder M'Ardle with the crowbar." The

AUSTRALIA.

The Australian papers, by this mail, bring very
little news of interest. We take the following
from the Melbourne Argus of the 25th of June :
" A dull mail month has succeeded an anxious one.
In our last summary we had occasion to speak of
the feeling of uneasiness existing in trading and
commercial circles, and in this we have to notice one
or two failures in houses connected with the up-
country trade, and a general depression of business.
The banks on Saturday raised the rate of exchange to
per cent. for 60 days' sight, a proceeding which
had been looked for daily after the despatch of
the last mail, and which was expected to be
accompanied by a fall in the rate of discount.
This latter change has not yet been announced. The
yield of the gold-fields hvs been maintained with
tolerable steadiness, the average of the year increas-
ing with each weekly escort returo. During the
last 13 weeks (three months), 454,9100 z. have been
received by escort, and some 60,0000 z. by private
hand, bringing the total to about 514,9100 z. During
the corresponding period of 1860 the total receipts
were estimated at 528,0000 z., or at the rate of
I,ooooz. weekly in excess of those of this year.
The shipments during tl e same period have been
about equal to those of last year. When the re-
turns for the six months' are made up, it is expected
that those of the current year will exceed those of
the first half of 1860, as they will include the large
parcels under engagement in the Swiftsure, the
Water Nymph, and the Royal Mail steamship
Jeddo."

WLIO CAUSED TEE TVAP ?

The answer to this question is so obvious that
we should not again ask it, were it not some of our
English contemporaries, as well as numerous pri-
vate individuals, still seem to labour under the de-
lusion that the North has made war upon the South;
that it has inaugurated a needless civil strife; that
its object is to " coerce," to " subjugate," the people
of the Cotton States. No doubt there are many
in England who honestly believe that such is the
fact ; we take it for granted that it is so, inasmuch
as there are many who continue to make the as-
sertion. If this be the case let us examine the tes-
timony of one of the truest and most faithful friends
of the South—a gentleman who was born and
reared in a Slave State.

In the House of Representatives, July 22, Mr.
Crittenden of Kentucky introduced resolutions de-
blaring" first, that the present war has been forced
upon us by the Disunionists of the Southern States,
now in rebellion against the Government of the
United States. Second, that in this national emer-
gency, Congress, banishing all feeling of passion
and resentment, will recollect only their duty to
their country ; that the war is not waged for con-
quest or subjugation, or for interfering with the
rights or established institutions of the States, but
to maintain and defend the supremacy of the Con-
stitution, with their rights and equality, under it
unimpaired, and that as soon as these objects shall
be accomplished, the war ought to cease." The
first resolutio❑ was passed, 121 to 2 ; the second
117 to 2.

It will be remembered that there are representa-
tives in the House from five slave holding States,
and that a portion of them, as well as two members
from the Free States, always vote for the " Seces-
sionists," when they can find any show of reason
for so doing, and that Mr. Crittenden himself has
always been a stern advocate of the slave interest.
Evidence such as this on a question either of fact
or opinion should be accepted as entirely conclusive,
and should prevent all further charges againt the
United States' Government of attempting to " co.
erce," or " subjugate" any section or State.--. Lo-
ndon American.

REVIEWS OF THE WORK.
"Curtis on Manhood.—This is a truly valuable work, and
should be in the hands of young and old."—" Sunday Times,"
23d March, 1856.
"The author has conferred a great boon by publishing this
little work, in which is described the source of those diseases
which produce decline in youth or more frequently premature
old age."—" Daily Telegraph," March 27, 1856.
This work, which for twenty years has stood the test of
professional criticism and empirical hostility, treats in aplain
and sympathising manner on the various disqualifications
and impediments arising from nervous excitement and de •
bility ; and to invalids suffering from youthful errors and
excesses it will be found valuable and useful."—Record.

" The aim of the author is to present a common-sense view

Disease, as also to free these questions from the Professional
Fallacies, the Popular Delusions, and the exaggerations of
Quackery by which they have hitherto been surrounded, to the
destruction of the health and happiness of thousands. These
objects are discussed in a common-sense and highly practical
manner."—Medical Circular.

IMPORTANT TO OWNERS OF HORSES.-
After long experience, deep researches into chymistry,
by the aid of costly machinery, I have discovered the means
whereby oats, beans, and oilcake may be entirely dispensed
with in the feeding of horses and cattle. I have now invented
a compound meal, composed of locust beans, Indian eorn,
linseed, &c., at £i6 per ton, which is equal in value to £24
worth of oats, beans, or any other feeding material in the
market. Two quarts of this compound meal, weighing 31bs.,
at the cost of 5d., mixed with a peck of chopped hay, is a feed
for a draught horse, and superior in every respect to three
quarterns of oats, costing 74d. 14 barrels weigh net 1 ton 1
cwt., at 16s. per cwt., £l6 16s. net cash, free, delivered by my
own waggons to any station in London. Nothing less than
21 cwt. sold at the manufactory, and orders must be accom-
panied with cheque• crossed, made payable to the inventor,
JOSEPH THORLEY. Steam Mills, Caledonian-road,
King's-cross, April 8, 1861.
Single barrels, weighing 11 cwt., may be had for 305., at 77,

any subject whatever. The administration of jus-
tice, too, is still in a most unhappy state, as regards
political offences. The judges are, no doubt, irre-
movable, but they are not inzpromovable ; and any •
one may receive the reward of his subserviency to
the Government by advancement to a higher place.
In England there is no law against such promo:
tions, bat they are universally discountenanced, and
very rarely take place. In 70 years that I have
known our courts I only remember two instances of
a puisne made a chief ; for the case of Sir V. Gibbs
was that of an Attorney-General promoted after
being, from accidental circumstances, a Puislie
judge. Parliament would at once interpose were
such advancements ever made except in very pecu-
liar circumstances. The interference of the Govern-
ment with elections is another great evil in the sys-
tem of our neighbours, and impairs incalculably
the salutary tendency of discussion in the Chambers
to check the action of the Executive power, or to
correct its errors. The deputies who at all oppose
the Government are reduced to a very inconsidera-
ble number, and the great majorities which suP9e.rt
~s
it in all contentions give such countenance to ally.,
acts that the influence of public opinion as testified
by the representatives of the people is extremely'
small. The state of the judicature, the control ore!'
the press, and the interference of the prefects pith
elections, render the Government nearly absolute in
fact as well as in the theory of the constitution;
But after the important concessions to freedom of
discussion which have so recently been made, fp
' have reason to hope that further relaxation 's"
follow. It is the unquestionable tendency of that Po!'
tion of liberty which has been granted, both to Al'
mulate the desire for a grant of more and to increase
the difficulty of refusing it, Such must be the
earnest wish of all riends of the great cause t•ci'l
which we are devoted, both out of the goodyn
that we heartily bear to our justly-celebrated neigh;
bours, and from the intimate conviction we 11111,,,,s
all have, that the great inserests of peace cannot ""
more effectually served.
