CHRONICLES and CHARACTERS. By the
Hon. ROBERT LYTTON (OWEN MEREDITH). We
are happy to observe that the work before us is no hasty or
passing contribution to our poetical literature. The plan of it
was conceived many years ago, and its execution has been
elaborated, the poet tells us, during seven years of careful think-
ing. It appeals only to serious, earnest, and discriminating cri-
ticism, and is worthy of that patient perusal its author
claims as a preliminary to any final judgment. There is no
masked atheism hero, no brutal passion veiled under the thin
disguise of elaborate scholarship. no curious raking amid the
dead and foetid embers of forgotten lusts. 14 all these respects
Chronicles and Characters ' set a noble example to our younger
generation of poets. The author has set himself seriously to
improve and cultivate his rare gifts by conscientious study and
deliberate carefulness, and he has presented the fruit of them to
the world in a series of calm, connected pictures, so arranged as
to illustrate one of the noblest conceptions which could possibly
occupy a poet's pen."—Macmillan's Magazine. Chapman and

'We copy the following from the Times of this
morning. Anything more deplorable than the
wretched condition of that unfortunate country
under its new regime it is difficult to imagine :
The " accumulation of unpleasant incidents in
Italy," condensed in a single paragraph of the
letter of our Florence correspondent published on
. Saturday, may be taken as a signal illustiration of
the aphorism that in very inveterate complaints
matters must be expected to grow much worse
- before they begin at all to get better. The news
from many parts of emancipated Italy continues to
be very much the same as it use I to be in the Italy of
the old regime. It is the s tme aim )st daily chronicle
of startling crimes coanni tted with the satneimpunity
—murder and robbery stalking abroad, connived at,
And almost favoure 1 by the stolid helplessness of
the Government and by the cowardly supineness of
the people. We do •not know any other country
in Europe where the • statistics of crime present
such fearful results. The atzzetta 31 ilitare publishes
monthly an official report of all the arrests effected
by the carabinieri or gendarmerie, a corps which
does not, however, constitute the whole of the
public force in the kingdom, as most towns have
a municipal police of their own besides. Agree-
ably to the last of these bulletins, the persons
-arrall'ed were, in March, 5.T49", of whom 220 were
charged with murder, 289 with violent robbery,
1,459 with theft, 816 With wounding, &c. In
April the apprehended criminals were 5,481 ; of
whom 297 were murderers, 227 highway robbers
and burglars, 1,410 thieves, &c. The frequency
and enormity of the offences are enhanced by the
character of their perpetrators. A deputy, Gencro,
a man of reputed unbounded wealth, is about
to be tried for forgery. The same charge has
been brought home to a whole gang of citizens at
Bologna, men belonging to the educated classes, a
doctor, several merchants, and even an inspector
of the police. Finally, a society of pugnalatori, or
"Brothers of the Dagger," the mere nucleus of the
scattered links of former associations, has estab-
lished itself in Ravenna and throughout Romagna.
Some of the recent achievements of this horrible
band seem to have created a deepzensation even in
Italy. A courageous man, the Pielmontese advo-
cate Cappa, had been sent among them, with a
strong determination to do his duty as a public pro-.
secutor. Ile was threatened with the vengeance of
the murderous gang ; the threat was carried into
execution in full daylight, in the midst of a whole
population, within twenty yards of a sentry ; the
body was smuggled away by a few of his colleagues
and countrymen, " not a single member of the Ra-
venna municipality having the grace to join the
mournful procession to the station in sign of regret
or protest against the crime." It is here that the
most repulsive feature in those Italian atrocities
shows itself. The semi-official Opinione refers to
some recent report of the murder of a magistrate at
Konigsberg, observing, almost in glee, that assassi-
nation is " the order of the day " elsewhere than in
Romagna. The Florentine paper is very welcome
to the benefit of the to queTte argument. 'We
have occasionally very ugly agrarian cases in Ire-
land, it is true, and no lack of Fenian atrocities
both in Canada and in this country. But what
constitutes the material, and for Italy the damn-
ing difference, is that in other countries, Servia
itself not excepted, the Government has both the
power and the will to bring the criminal to justice,
and the people evince the utmost eagerness to help
the Government, while in Italy, through the faUlt
of the Government and the people, " assassins are
never caught ;" Cr even when caught there are
neither gibbets' nor safe prisons 4 dispose of
them, .no witnesses to prove their -gilt, no juries
to convict, no magistrates, exc.lpt a few martyrs
like Cappa, to prosecute them. "- What is most
disheartening," says the Perseveranea, the most
creditable journal in Italy, " is the feeling with
which the intelligence of the arrest of the
assassin has been universally received —a feeling
prompted by the experience of recent events of the
same nature. There will be no means of having
the man convicted,' was the common remark.
There will be no one to identify him; there will be
numbers of persons to swear an alibi in his behalf.
The juries will have no mind, no heart, no ground
for a verdict. if the assassin has been really ar-
rested, his apprehension will only prove the impo-
tence of the Court, as his non-apprehension would
have proved the impotence of the prosecution.' "
These are startling assertions, but fully borne
out by cases enumerated by the same journal,
all of the same description as the one mentioned
by our correspondent of the Sab-Prefect of
Imola, " assassinated in the street iu the open
day, whose murderer was acquitted by a jury
terrorised by threatening letters." Men familiar
with the conditions of Romagna in Papal times
may recollect that Cardinals and Delegates
used to be shot and stabbe,l in those cities as
freely and safely as prefects and magistrates are
at the present day. What we are now witnessing is
merely a fresh outbreak of very old disorders, nor
should we be astonished if the evil showed symp-
toms of even increased importance, for social tran -
sition is inseparable from disorganisation. The bond
of religion, such as it was in old Italy, has been
loosened in the prolonged strife between Church
and State. E lueition is only at work for the
fature, and in the meantime the law is in abeyance,
not only owing to the want of energy and courage
on the part of the GovernMent and people, bat
owing also to that false philanthropy and sickly
sentimentalism which foster among Italian legis-
lators the notion that leniency of punishment is
the only remedy against the frequency and enor-
mity of crime.

An American contemporary draws a fearful
sketch of the penal settlement to which American
felons are consigned. What Siberia is to Russia,
Cayenne to France, Fernando Po to Spain, what
Norfolk Island to England, the Dry Tortugas are
to the United States. Situated at the southern ex-
tremity of Florida, these burning coral reefs, un-
shaded by a single tree, unrefreshed by a single
source, bear no sign of human habitation save the
huts in which the wretched transports linger, and
the barracks in which the almost equally wretched
soldiers who guard them are sheltered. From
year's end to year's end the rays of an almost
vertical sun beat upon the Dry Tortugas with un-
remitting intensity ; yellow fever is ever rife there ;
and no animal life, save that of the prisoners and
their guard, is possible by reason of the absence
of all vegetation and fresh water. A prisoner who
had served out his sentence in the Dry Tortugas
and had been restored alive to society would be
welcomed at Barnum's Museum as a rare
Curiosity.
Mdlle. Nilsson's remuneration for singing at the
Crystal Palace Handel Festival on Friday, and at
a private concert in Belgrave-square the same even-
ing, is said to have been £3OO.

The important trials of iron structures applicable to
land fortifications began on Tuesday at Shoeburynese.
They had excited great interest, and the attendance was
very large. Ey about eleven o'clock between 300 and 404
persons had collected on the ground, among whom were
his Royal Highness the Commander-in-Chief, Sir John
Pakington, General Frome, chief of the Royal Engineer
Department, accompanied by his assistants, Colonel Jer-
vois and Colonel Inglis, who had been most active in design-,
ing the targets, Sir John Dalrymple Hay, R.N., SirF. Grey
and his Fortification Committee, and a large number of other
military and naval officers, and many civilians interested
in such matters. Invitations had also been issued to several
foreigners of distinction, among whom were the Duke
d'Aumale, the Prince de Joinville, the Duke de Chartres,
the Count de Paris, and Prince Edward of Saxe-Weimar.
The structures to be bred at were erected about 100 yards
within the low embankment protecting the ground from
the Thames, the front of the works facing inland. The
Plymouth target and the other casemates were in the
centre, flanked on either hand by the experimental walls
and plates. The experiments were under the direction
of the Ordnance Select Committee and associated
members, and the executive duties devolved upon
Colonel F. Eardley Wilmot, R.A., commandant of
Shoeburyness, assisted by Captain Alderson, R.A.,
and an excellent staff of working officers. The arrange-
ments made to preserve order and to ensure safety were
admirable. A number of splinter-proof buildings were
provided, in which the visitors were required to take re,
fuge when the bugle sounded " make ready," and the
" fire" was only given when everybody was safely under
shelter. The gun was then fired by the galvanic battery,
after which the effects were observed and recorded. The
chief object of Tuesday's firing was the Plymouth shield,
and the only gun used, with the exception of two rounds
from the American Rodman, was the largest of our rifled
guns—viz., the 23-ton gun of 12 inches bore, carrying a
Palliser-pointed shot of GOOlb. The charges were originally
intended to be such as would represent the effects at dis-
tances of 500 and 1,000 yards ; but as it was considered
desirable to test the strength of the shield with the full
power of the guns, the battering charge of 761 b. of powder,
was used every round. There were in all eight rounds
fired against the shield, five of which were directed agr.inst
the past to the right of the porthole strengthened by an
extra Sin. plate in front, giving in this place 20 inches
thickness of iron. The other three were fired at the
thinner or 15in. side of the shield, The first shot hit the
sin. strengthening-plate about 3ft. from the ground, and
15in. from the right-hand edge, tearing open the narrow
strip outside the shot. One bolt was driven several inches
inwards, and the inside plates and the vertical standard
behind them were slightly bulged : the shot penetrated
about a foot and broke up. The second round was a shell
of the same weight from the same gun, with a bursting
charge of 14 lb. This struck about Gin. above the porta
and exactly on the left edge of the strengthening-plate, so
that half the projectile acted on this plate and the other
part on the thinner part adjoining. In front no damage
was seen, but at the back it was found that the horizontal
iron " plank" over the porthole was broken in two on the
right-hand side of the port, and partly thrustbackwards. Tho
bolts near the part struck were strained, but not broken. The
shell did not bury itself deep enough in the iron to do
more mischief than a shot, as the bursting charge exploded
in the rear. The third round was a shot from the great
American "Rodman ".gun, with a 15in, bore and a cast-
iron round shot of 4501 h. weight. The usual charge in
America for this gun is Golb., but, as it is said to be some-
times used with 1001 b., it was determined to try it with
its full power, and for that purpose it was loaded with
8341 b. of our powder, which from its greater strength
is found equivalent to 100 lb. American. The shot
struck the strengthening-plate about 15 inches from
the bottom and a little to the right of the middle,
not far frsin the shot of the first round. It cracked
the front plate, started another bolt, and bent the inside
layer of iron, doing altogether but little damage. The
shot rebounded and fell, much flattened, a few feet in
front of the target. It was of American make, and
appeared to be of excellent iron. As the last shot was
said to have grazed the ground before arriving at the
target, and thereby to have lost some of its force, a second
shot was fired from the same gun, also at the
strengthening-plate, which it struck five feet high and
one foot six inches from the left-hand edge. It made an
indent of eight or nine inches, cracking the plate through
to the edge, and knocking off by the shock from the
right-hand corner a piece of plate already broken by
former rounds. The inner planks near the porthole
were distorted, and an upright standard slightly bent.
The shot struck on a spot where the plates were supported
by one of these. standards, and which was, therefore, a
strong place ; but the effect of both these rounds appeared
so small for the large charge of powder as to give but an
• indifferent opinion of the.power of this boasted American
weapon compared with our own rifled guns. For the lifth
round the 12-inch rifled gun was resumed, and another
shot was fired. also at the thickening plate. It struck
about Gft. high, and near the middle of the plate. It pene-
trated 13in. and broke a bolt, doing also considerable
damage behind. It pushed out themiddlelayer of iron, and
broke one of the horizontal planks of the internal layer, a
piece of which, weighing between 2001 b. and 3001 b., was
violently projected about 100 feet to the rear of the target.
The three remaining rounds were aimed at the thinner
part of the target, representing what is actually in con-
struction for the forts, and fifteen inches thick. It was
intended that at least ono of these should hit a part
between the upright standards, where the plates were un-
backed, but this was not accomplished, each shot striking
a place immediately in front of the upright standards. The
sixth round was a solid shot, which penetrated about 10in.,
broke two bolts, and caused a bulge in both the back plates
and the standards. The seventh round was a shell,
which, like all the others, burst outside, and did little
further mischief ; and the eighth round was a solid shot
that caused a large bulge in the rear, projecting several
inches, and opening with a wide, star-shaped crack, the
standard also being considerably bent, though not broken,
This ended the day's practice. The Plymouth target had
received the fire of eight rounds from the largest guns
with the full battering charges, and, although it was a
good deal punished in some parts, it bad stood on the
whole very well. It was not penetrated by any of the -
shot, nor had it ceased to afford protection. The worse fees
tare of the day was the projection to the rear of the large -
mass of iron in the fifth round, which would, of course,
have been a serious thing in actual warfare. We may
here mention, however, that the thick rope mantlet,
which was hung immediately in the rear of the shield, to
catch splinters and fragments, was not in its place, it
being probably removed with a view to facilitate the in-
spection of the back of the target. To what extent this
would afford protection from large fragments of iron re-
mains yet to be proved. There are many other points in
the construction of the shield about which more experi-
mental information is required, and it is probable the
target will be fired at again, which will show to what ex•
tent it has been weakened generally by the battering it
has undergone. It was thought desirable before the
visitors left the ground to fire a shot from the large rifled
gun at each of the two single, unbacked, 15-inch plates
prepared for trial. The first of these was a rolled
plate 13ft. Gin. long, 3ft. Sin. wide, and 15in. thick,
prepared by Sir John Brown and Co. It was set hori-
zontally and supported at the back by standards exactly
representing those of the Plymouth target. The
shot was fired at the middle of the space between the two
supports, and struck fair in the middle of the plate.
Its sharp point penetrated about twelve inches into
the solid metal, throwing up a bulge of two
or three inches at the back, with a slight star-shaped
crack. The other plate, Oft. long, 4ft. Gin, wide, and 15in.
thick, was supplied by the Thames Iron Company at their
own expense, and was made by hammering. The shot at
this was a failure, as it struck on the edge, and merely
carried away a large fragment of iron. It was intended
that the trials of these single 15in. plates should compare,
not only with each other, but with the effect of the same
shot on the 15in. iron of the shield made up of three sin.
layers, but as the shield was, unfortunately, not hit on
any unsupported part of this thickness, no comparative
result was obtained.

Another death has resulted f►om the fall of tb3
cornice, which took place at SheiTield some time since.
A BOY SCALDING MS COMPANION TO DEATH.
--
A lad, named George Henry Wren, • has been brought
before the Notts magistrates on the charge of scalding to
death a little boy, named Henry Ridgley, aged 5 years.
A short time ago deceased and prisoner were playing
together near a grating over a boiler at a silk mill in
neeston. As the steam was being let off from the boiler
it issued through the grating, and the prisoner seized his
companion and held him over it, thereby causing him to
be severely scalded. Medical aid proved of no avail, and
the poor little fellow died on Saturday night.

THE OAKS COLLIEKY.-011 Tuesday fire inoro
bodies were brought out cf -the Oaks Colliery, and con-
veyed to the dead house. They were found by the men
who were engaged in clearing the roads nearly together,
iu the north-dip level, near to the place known as Jones's
Jiuny. The colliery was crowded during the day with the
relatives and friends of the men at present buried in the
workings, and of whom there are upwards of 250 still
unrecovered. All the bodieS were identified before tnauy
hours elapsed as those of Thomas Ryder, John Bradley

being justified in deprecating the notion of there
being any serious cause for anxiety because of the
reported angry feeling awakened in Nova Scotia,
facts only too plainly show that there is cause for
anxiety there in Nova Scotia, and that the discon-
tent is extending also into New Brunswick. For
several months Mr. HowE and his associate, as re-
presenting that discontent of the Nova Scotians,
have been waiting here in London in quest of a
hearing of their case, and of action afterwards,
upon it at once by the Government and by the Le-
gislature. All that has now been asked for by the
member for Birmingham after these long delays is
the appointment of a Commission of Inquiry. Facts'
beyond the possibili y of denial, are pointed to in
demonstration of the validity of the cause there is
for some inquiry. These facts were many of them
specified by Mr. BRIGHT in the House of Commons,
clearly and cogently enough, only last evening—
the orator supporting the cause entrusted
to him with great moderation, as well as
with great earnestness. The appeal for consi-
deration, hlwever, has been made in vain, we re-
gret to find, in the House of Commons : and to-
morrow a like appeal for delay, for inquiry, for some
deliberate reconsideration of the whole matter,will,
by the Ups of Lord CAMPBELL, be addressed (let us
not hope there, too, in vain) to the hereditary legisla-
tors of England in the Upper House of Parliament.
What is now asked by the Nova Scotians, by Mr.
HowE as their delegate or mouth-piece, what was
asked by Mr. BRIGHT yesterday in the House of Com-
mons, and what will be asked for to-morrow ir the
House of Peers by Lord CAMPBELL, is simply inquiry
in regard to facts that • admit of ready demonstra-
tion one way or the other. It is, in other words,
simply a question of fairplay. Shall the appeal be
denied ? And if denied, what may not be the con-
sequences ? Why, it is no exaggeration to assert
at once, that those consequences may involve the
shedding of blood in internecine conflict, and—as the
result of any such disastrous collision—the eventua
disintegration of our British North American pos.

-X- Sole Proprietor an'l Mlnager, Mr. B. WEBSTER.
Directress, Mrs. Alfred Mellon.

The House of Comtnons had a good bit to do
yesterday, and they contrived to complete their
task in a tolerably satisfactory manner. In the

morning sitting the Public Schools Bill was consi-
dered. Mr. NEATE desired to send the Public
Schools Bill back again to the Committee in order
that certain clauses might be inserted therein en-

abling the Commissioners and the new governing
bodies to have the power to deal with the revenues
of Eton and Winchester. The hon. member made
some rather disparaging remarks upon the present bill,
it being, as he defined it, professedly founded upon the
Report of the Royal Commission, while it in reality
was passed with the object of escaping the recom-
mendations of these Commissioners. The chief end,
in his opinion, was that Eton and Winchester were
not subjected to the laws imposed upon the other
colleges. A good deal of discussion arose on the
merits of the bill, in which Mr. WALPOLE took
part, and said that power was conferred by the
bill, Mr. LOWE objected to the whole policy of
the bill. Sir STAFFORD NORTIICOTE, however,
explained the matter he objected to quite
satisfactorily, and the House went into
committee, when again Mr. LOWE interfered, and
proposed that " governing bodies" be struck out of
clause three, but on a division this was defeated.
The further progress of the bill was put off until
Tuesday. At the evening sitting Mr. BRIGHT
called attention to a petition which he presented to

Act of last year.

The long-expected despatches from Sir ROBERT
NAPIER aro at length -before the public, and be
read with the deepest interest. The narrative
which it lays before us in its full details is one which,
under any circumstances, could hardly fail to en-
chain the attention and excite the most eager 'in-
terest. It is one of those histories of resolute
endurance and adventure which always impress the
public, and which aro invariably cherished among
the records of national achievements. Thy

(.)e with whom Sir ROBERT NAPIEP. had to

contend was indeed greatly inferior to him-
self, and might almost be called contemptible ;
but what was lacking in spirit, skill, and strength,
nature supplied by the formidable obstacles she
opposed to the march of the invading army. Path-
less ravines, rugged ascents, and mountainous
ranges, which in some parts are almost perpendi-
cular, impeded the advance of the troops; and,
when it was deemed necessary to proceed by forced
marches, the task was formidable indeed. Of the
approach to Magdala itself Sir ROBERT says— " It

is difficult to give by description alone - a suffi-
cient idea of the formidable position which

we were about to assail." The centre
of the position is the Rock of Selassie, which is
elevated more than 9,000 feet above the sea, stand-
ing on a plateau called Ishangie, dividel into
several extensive terraces, with perpendicular scarps
of basalt. Connectel with these terraces is a hill
called Fahla, which Sir R. NAPIER describes as a
gigantic natural bastion, level at the top, com-
manded by Islamgie. Fahla domineers over all
approaches, at an elevation of 1,200 feet. The
sides, as the invaders surveyed it from the base,
appeared precipitous, the summit surrounded by
a scarp of rocks, accessible only in a few
places. Nearly concealed from view by these
intervening barriers, beside which the most skilful
engineer might well hide his diminished head, the
top of Magdala was partly seen. Up the steep side
of 'Fahla wound a road so steep that few horses
could carry their riders up it, and after this slight
account of it we may well endorse the General's
own words—" Altogether, without taking into ac-
count Magdala itself, the formidable charactor of
its earthworks exceeded anything which we could
possibly have anticipated." A refugee chief, from
whom Sir R. NAPIER bad gained valuable infornaa-

Hon, was anxious that he should try the advance on
the south side from the opposite range, but Sir R.
NAPIER wisely refused to do so, because he had not
force enough to divide, and he would not put a
" vast combination of natural fortresses " between
him and his direct line of communication. It
must have been a most anxious time for the
leader with whom the responsibility of the move-
ment rested. We may now hear his account of the
position with interest, and all unanimously approve
his choice of a place of attack ; but had the re-
sult been different, had the difficulties of

the ascent proved too great, or the as-
sailed been able to keep a better hold of

their fortress, many would have been found to
criticise and censure the movement and manner of
the attack who are now loudest in their praises of
the successful general. It is fair to remember this
when Sir ROBERT NAPIER is receiving the thanks
of his countrymen for the capture of fin once im-
pregnable position, as the greater the difficulty and
the uncertainty of action, the greater the merit of
him whose genius and enterprise overcomes all
obs tacit s.
