put a stop to the long warfare between the
Russians and Circassians, as we had between the Turks
and the Greeks, on the score of humanity, were somewhat
difficult to satisfy. He considers that steam-boats have
done much harm in preventing faithful reports of the real
condition of a country, as travellers now only stop at the
principal hotels, and imbibe the opinions of the first
stranger or dragoman they converse with. Few travellers
were without prejudice; and we feel towards them as

What-do-you say to all that goes on about you ? What
do you say to the struggle of society to get on—to get
rich ? It is like a rush to a Bank that is stopping pay-
ment. All want to be first, for the first alone can get
anything, and are likely enough to be late. This is the
every-day life of a peaceful commercial society; this is
peace, if you like, but seasoned, whether you like it or not,
with envy, hatred, malice, and all uncharitableness. You
are at peace only because you decline to take part in the
selfish scramble. What say you to the mad ventures of
merchants of straw, and their outrageous gambling—men,
many of them, of religious profession, platform-orators,
Record-readers, horror-struck at whist, and petrified at the
mention of a quadrille—men of intense respectability, yet
gamesters on a larger scale than any yet found in the
Seine ? Does mercantile speculation stir up no evil pas-
sions ? What do you say to the railway mania of 1846 ?
There was greed surpassing that of the Bashi-Bazouks in
quest of plunder. War has made many families desolate
now, and filled them with a noble mournfulness ; but war
has never, and will never, afflict society with the anxiety,
the madness, the degradation, the want of self-respect,
which that railway mania did. It made, for the time, the
length and breadth of our green land a great roulette-
table, presided over by avarice and meanness, stamping
the faces of steady city-men with the abstraction, the
ferocity, the unnatural joy, sorrow, and despair of the
habitues of Homburg or Baden. A country desolated by
war is not a paradise, but a country infected with such
plague-spots is a pandemonium.. And what do you say to
the whole history of strikes, and the general discomfort of
the relations between employer and employed ? In the
worst cases there have been two rival camps of the worst
kind, each striving to outstarve the other : peace at length
restored, but heart burnings innumerable perpetuated.
Talk of the horrors of war f—these, and such as these, are
the horrors of peace ! * * * The shop-keeping spirit
is far too strong amongst us, and no wonder that Nicholas
was induced to believe that John Bull would not quit his
hold on his money-ba.gs to go to war. I believe, if he had
known us better—if he had been able to judge of the
feelings of our silent classes—the aristocracy, the gentry,
the yeomanry, and peasantry of Britain—he would never
have been so misled. He mistook Manchester for Great
Britain, and Messrs. Pease, Sturge, and Co., for the United
Services. The day of the Alma has told him that, thougq
Manchester is large, England is larger, and that there is
a certain people north of the Tweed, wearing "petticoats,"

The Tricolor on the Atlas ; or Algeria and
the French Conquest. By Francis Pulzky. Edin-

burgh and London : Thomas Nelson and Sons.
Most readers of the present generation are ac-
quainted with Algeria, chiefly as a French settle-
ment of conquest, in which, after a series of sharp
military struggles, our ancient Gallic antagonists,
now our faithful allies, have contrived to fix them-
selves in a tolerable degree of security ; yet few of
them are conversant with the steps by which this
conquest was secured, and fewer still are aware of
the actual condition, military, civil, and ecclesias-
tical, in which the military colony exists—the
arduous conflicts which preceded and accompanied
its acquirement—and its present and prospective
value to the conquerors. To explain these points
is the object of M. Pulzky in the work now under
review, and to enable him to accomplish this object
he has freely availed himself of all the means
within his reach. In carrying out his plan, the
author, with considerable felicity, unites the pic-
turesque with the statistic—the descriptive with
the moral—and so arranges his scenery and inci-
dents, as to bring before the reader a lively idea of
society and manners as these exist among the
mixed and often discordant population of Algeria.
In this land of recent conquest, the Arabs still
continue to depasture their flocks and their horses
in the plains ; the Kabyles maintain their wild and
predatory independence among the mountain fast-
nesses, and succeed in extracting a meagre suste-
nance from the naturally fertile valleys, by a rude
and unskilful tillage ; while the Moorish natives
retain peaceful possession of the fields adjoining
the cities, and by actis industry reap a reward for
the labour they bestow upon a grateful soil. Domi-
nant among these are the military colonists and
martial rulers from France ; together with an ad-
mixture of Italian, German, Spanish, and Irish
emigrants, the whole forming a population of con-
trasting manners, dissimilar habits, and conflicting
opinions. Such a population naturally affords
material for pictures of varied groupingrand much
richness of effect, in availing himself of which M.
Pulzky displays no inconsiderable artisticaptitude.
As an example of his skill and powers,. take the
annexed picture of

THE ALGERINE CATHEDRAL

The Roman Catholic Church, the Cathedral of Al-
giers, was formerly a mosque. It is situated in the
upper part of the Divan-street; and though not larger
than the two mosques in the Rue de la Marine, its
style of building is much purer and grander. Even
the finest of the mosques are adorned only with• low
colonades ; but in the cathedral, columns of fifty feet
support the cupola, which gets its light from above
through stained glass. The altar is on the north side,
decorated by a picture of the Virgin, which has been
bestowed on this church by the Pope ; nevertheless, above
the picture we still see the sentences of the Koran in in-
terlaced Arabic characters, proclaiming that there is only
one God, and Mohammed is his Prophet. That these
sentences, though they form a most elegant ornament of
arabesques, should be allowed to remain in a Christian
temple is rather strange ; in fact, not only are•they shock-
ing to the Christian, but the Mohammedan also would
rather see them effaced than placed above the image of a
deified female. And yet more strange than the interior
arrangement appeared to me the service and the assembly
in the Cathedral ; which, indeed, was composed of the
most incongruous elements. The mass is here almost a
military spectacle ; the soldiers are drilled for it. A gay
martial music resounds in the building whilst the priest
mumbles his Latin formulas ; the noise of twenty drums
thunders through the hall as soon as the sacristan rings
the bell; the soldiers standing in the square before the
altar present the musket at the command of their officer,
and bend, at the same time, their right knee, and bow
their heads to the ground; whilst the thundering march
of the drums lasts until the priest has finished the Lord's
Prayer. Then the regimental music plays pieces of
Auber's and Meyerbeer's Operas ; the priest raises the
host and presents it to the congregation, amongst which
some people have prayed, many have listened to the
music, others again have turned their attention to the
pious young Spanish ladies ; and now—all are talking
and walking about the wide hall as if it were a public pro-
menade.

To convey instruction, mingled with amusement,
has been the aim of the author, and in carrying
his object into effect, he has been successful to an
extent so satisfactory as to reflect credit on him-
self; while, by the style in which the book has been
brought before the public, the enterprising firm
under whose imprint it has been issued sustain the
reputation they have achieved for the elegance,
accuracy, and cheapness of their publications.

The Poetical Works of Samuel Butler. With
Life, Critical Dissertation, and Explanatory
Notes, by the Rev. George Gilfillan. Edin-
burgh : James Nichol.
The second and completing volume of this very
handsome library edition of Butler's Poems is now
before us, and in its pages we find ample testimony
of the care, taste, and liberality, which are con-
joined in the production of this admirable reprint
of the works of our best poets. A distinct, as well
as a valuable feature, of the present volume, is
the painstaking judgment displayed in sifting the
poetical remains and fragmentary pieces attri-
buted to Butler, separating the genuine from the
spurious, retaining the former and repudiating the
latter. In judiciously discharging this duty, the
editor has earned for himself a title to general
gratitude, not less than that which he has won by
the praiseworthy laconism of the. explanatory notes
by which he has illustrated without loading the
text. At the commencement of this series we
were unable to suppress our feelings of surprise
and admiration at the general beauty, combined
with the extraordinary cheapness of this publica-
tion ; since that period, if familiarity with the series
has diminished our wonder, it has not lessened our
appreciation of its merits, but has greatly aug-
mented the degree of pleasure with which we
hailed its advent. Nichol's Library Edition of the
Poets continues to win its way in popular estima-
tion by continuing to deserve it.

The History of the Decline and Fall of the
Roman limpire. By Edward Gibbon, with
Variorum Notes. _ Edited by an English Church-

man. London : Henry G. Bohn

This excellent reprint of Gibbon, with its copious
and well-considered annotations, has now reached
the fifth volume, and still maintains the character
by which, on the appearance of its first portion, its
publisher sought to establish for it a place in public
esteem. To an unmutilated and correct text, illus-
trated by carefully-prepared notes, the publisher
and his editor continue to adhere with a result
which cannot fail to prove gratifying to them.
The fifth volume, now before us, brings the work
down to the death of Mahomet. The chapter
devoted to the history of the Arabian impostor,
with which the volume concludes, is one which, in
the present crisis of Mahomedan rule in Europe, is
fraught with peculiar interest. When completed,
this edition of - an

inclusive

utiobon-s great work will be
important and valuable addition to the cheap litera-
ture of England.

In my last I announced to your grace the death, which
had just been reported to me, of that deeply-lamented
officer, the Hon. Colonel Hood, of the Grenadier Guards.
No other military officer has since fallen, but Major Prince
Edward of Saxe-Weimar was slightly wounded on the 19th.
His Serene Highness insisted, however, upon remaining
in the trenches until the detachment to which he was
attached was relieved at the usual hour, and he has now
resumed his duty.
Captain Lord Dankellin, of the Coldstream Guards, was
unfortunately taken prisoner yesterday morning, before
daylight, in front of the trenches.
The naval batteries have continued their exertions
without intermission; and I regret to have to report the
death of two gallant officers of the Royal Navy—the Hon.
Lieut. Ruthven, who has died of his wounds, and Lieut.
Greathead, of Her Majesty's ship Britannia : both are
universally regretted. The latter received a mortal wound
while laying a gun, after having, to use_the language of

Brigadier-General Eyre, who was then, in charge of the
trenches, " performed his duty in the. batteries in a
manner that excited the admiration of all."
A considerable body of Russians, two days ago, were
in the vicinity of Ralaklava, but they have since withdrawn,
and are no longer to be seen in our front.
I have reason to believe that Prince Menschikoff is not
in Sebastopol. He is stated to have placed himself with
the main body of the army in the field, which is repre-
sented to be stationed in the plains south of Bakshiserai.
Admiral Kornilof, the chief of the staff, and tempora-
rily in command of Sebastopol, is reported to have died of
his wounds the day before yesterday.

has the following respecting it :—" The public will naturally
have felt much surprised at the non-receipt of despatches
from Lord Raglan by the same steamer conveying intelligence
of the naval action off the harbour of Sebastopol, on the 17th
instant, which appeared in the

regret to say that these deeply interesting papers, having
been entrusted by Lord Raglan to Leiutenant Henderson,

Captain Commanding Naval Brigade.
To the Military Secretary to his Excellency Lord Raglan,
Cbmmander-in-Chief of the Army.

The following official account of the proceedings on the
17th and 18th appeared in an Extraordinary; Gazette on
Saturday afternoon :
WAR DEPARTMENT, 11.55 a.m., Nov. 11, 1854.
His Grace the Duke of Newcastle has this day received
a despatch, of which the-following is a copy, addressed to
his Grace by General. the Lord Raglan, G.C.13,
(This despatch was lost in its passage through,France,
and. was received at the- above hour by his Grace, to whom
it was transmitted. by his Excellency the Lord Cowley,
QC.B.) :

Before Sebastopol, Oct. 18.
My Lord Duke,—lt was arranged between, General
Canrobert and myselfthat the batteries of the two armies
should open immediately after daylight on the• morning
of the I.7th, and we invited Admiral Dundas and Admiral
Hamelin to attack the enemy's works at the mouth of the
harbour with the combined fleets, as nearly simultaneously
AS circumstances might permit.

Accordingly; upon& signal being given from the centre
of the French lines, the.batteries of the two armies com-
menced their fire about a quarter before seven yesterday
morning.

On this occasion we employed about sixty guns of dif-
ferent calibre, the lightest being 24-pounders.
It may here be proper to observe, that the character of
the position.which the- enemy occupy on the south side of
Sebastopol is not that-of a. fortress, but rather of an army
in an intrenched camp. on very strong ground, where an
apparently unlimited number of heavy guns, amply pro-
vide& with gunners and ammunition, are mounted.
The guns having opened, as above stated, a. continuous
andmell-directed fire was carried on from the works of the
two armies until about ten o'clock, a.m., when, unfortu-
nately, a magazine in the midst of one of the French bat-
teries exploded, and occasioned considerable damage to the
works, and, I fear, many casualties, and almost paralysed
the efforts of the French artillery for the day.
The British batteries, however, manned by sailors from
the fleet, under the command of Captain Lushington and
Captain Peel, and by the Royal Artillery, under the super-
intendence of Lieutenant-Colonel Gambier, kept up their
fire with unremitting energy throughout the day to my
own• and the general satisfaction, as well as to the admi-
ration of the French army, who were witnesses of their
gallant and persevering exertions, materially injuring the
enemy's works, and silencing the heavy guns on the top
of the loopholed tower to which I adverted in my despatch
of the 13th instant, and many of the guns at its base, and
eausing an extensive explosion in the rear of a strong re-
doubt in our immediate front; the enemy, notwithstanding,
answered to the last from a number of guns along their
more extended line,

- The fire was resumed•this morning at daylight by the
British sailors and artillery, and responded to, though in
& somewhat less degree, by the Russians; but the French
troops, being occupied in the repair of their batteries, and
in the formation: of others, have not contributed to the
renewal of the attack, except from a work on their ex-
treme left; they expect, however, to le able to do so to-
morrow morning,

I beg to lay before your grace a return of the loss sus-
tained by the-Royal Navy, and, the, army under my com-
mand, between the 13th and the 17th instant ; and to
this I am. deeply concerned to•add that of Colonel the
Hon. Francis Hood, commanding. the 3rd battalion Gre-
nadier Guards, an excellent officer, whose death in,. the
trenches, this morning has just been reported to me.
The English, French, and Turkish fleets moved towards
the mouth of the harbour about noon, and kept up a heavy
fire upon the enemy's forts for several hours.
I am. nit fully acquainted with the details of the attack,
or its result ; but I. understand that Rear-Admiral Sir
Edmund Lyons, with the. Agamemnon and Sanspareil,
assisted occasionally by the'London, Queen,. and Albion,
gallantly approached to within 600 yards of Fort Con-
stantine, the great work at the northern entrance, where
he maintained himself till: late in the afternoon, and suc-
ceeded in exploding a magazine, and causing considerable
injury to the face of the•fart.
Since I wrote to your grace on the 18th, six battalions
of Turkish infantry and 300 Turkish artillery have been,
added to the force in front of Balaklava.

These troops have been sent from Constantinople, and,
placed under my command by the Government of the
Forte; and I feel greatly indebted to Her Majesty's am-
bassador, Viscount Stratford de Redcliffe, for the ability
and energy with which he brought under the notice of the,
Sultan the importance I attached to au immediate rein?
forcement of the imperial troops.—l have, &c.,
