LITERARY NOTICES,' BEXTLEY'S MISCELLANY FOR NOVEMBER. The part for the dreary month," as November has been emphatically and not inaptly termed, is replete with matter which will infallibly amuse, and as certainly tend to drive dull care away" The UNSUCCESSFUL GREAT MAN, treated of by Professor Creasy, is the illustrious, but ill-fated Koscinsko, whose history has met so singular a counterpart in that of the Hungarian Patriot, Kossuth. "THE CAPR AND THE KAFIKS" is most amusingly continued, and the following graphic picture of a Kafir Chief is prob-)bly i^iite true to nature Fortv-nve miles on horse'Jäk. though a n.ry moderate day's l.ide. in South Africa i» ;uit>- ,su!u' v,i to rrnke man cnj»jt -i ii*i,,?lit' r*,t -t.r(,r it.I ni.dt; ;n ¡:Ù' I:: al1r.¡'t aJ, .1 dreamt 'of Kafirs, anjj bcnSre*. ,nd '??li-ti?htini:, «!:«! wiid beasts.

C'u?.tty, h'' cai.?i A ¡:; ¡;r. nf t ,c K.?r chiefs, in nrdrr to hear from them their opinion? of the relations subsisting between themselves and the rulonist8. On this occasion Macoino addressed his Excel- lency in a sppech of three hour-! duration, in which he took so sensible and masterly a view of the subject, explained his own views so clearly, dilated on the advantages of peace so strongly,-and expressed his own determination to maintain an amicable feeling between his people and the colony so forci- bly, that his hearers were not only amazed at his knowledge and eloquence, but most completely "bamboozled" by his protestations. Yet, at that very time, the scoundrel was daily helpini; himself, through means of his people, to the herd s and flocks and studs of the colonists. He had four hundred horses which must have come from the colony, though he had never been known to purchase one. He has been false to ps in every successive outbreak, and ought, most assuredly, to have been h Ined last war as an example to his fallows but Sir Harry Smith was contented with putting his foot on the fellow's neck and talking 'big,' in-' stead of putting a halter round it, and saying,—' This is the punishment of treachery, treason, and murder.' And now for my own interview with the great chief. The proper dress of a Kafir chief is a kaross of leopard skin, which can be worn by no other Kafir. Arms, legs, and feet, are left bare, and so is the head. Macomo, however, is very fond of turning out in European costume and as he selects his wardrobe in a very diffusive mauner, the effect he produces is more remarkable than elegant. Judge of my surprisp it seeing the great, leader of ten thousand warriors thus habited. He wore a blue dress-coat with brass buttons, considerably too large for him, and very much the worse for wrar; a pair of old dragoon trousers, with a tarnished gold tTire down the legs; yeUow velt-schoens; a shocking bad straw hat; no shirt, no waistcoat, and no-stockings! He was mounted on a little rough, ungroomed pony, with a cheap saddle, and an old worn out bridle. In place of a riding whip he carried in his hand a knob-keerie of formidable di- mensions, and in- his mouth was stuck a small, blackened clay pipe. In addition to this, he was by no means sober, though not drunk for Macomo, I was informed, "My interview with the worthy was not a very long one. I was introduced to him by a man who knew him, and I had a little conversation with him of no importance, but rather amusing from the manner in which it ended,-namely, hy the areat chief-asking me to lend him sixpence. Of course I complied, and saw him two hours later in a state of hep- less intoxication. "My sixpence had dom- it.YJU can g. t drunk on the most economical terms at the Cape.

Their hair is tufted and woolly; but they are very fond of ishavin, the he,,d. But here I am ,n sight of Macomo's kraal. It was very much like a homestead in the colony. There was the long, low white-washed house, the cene-shaped huts round it, the cattie kraals, and the fifty or sixty- yelping curs. I was re- quested to off-saddle, and a Kafir knee-haltered my horse for me and turned him to graze, while I entered the house and "at down with the .chieftain. The table was then spread, beefsteaks, coffee, and meelies, forming the- entertainment. I fully expected to find plenty of Cape Smoke' in the house of so notorious a tippler as Macomo; but there was not a drop. I believe that he seldom drinks at home, but pays, a visit to Fort Beaufort whenever he wishes to get drunk, which averages about three or four times a week. Macomo was far more inclined to draw me out" than to be com- municative, and therefore our conversation was not over enftertaining. But the organ of acquisitiveness, so tremen- dously developed, physically and morally, in this Kafir, led him to dilate on the excellence of his horses; and he was xery anxious to find out whether I wanted to purchase any. On my declining that, be turned to the subject of cattle, and sounded my views in that direction; but I had not the slightest intention of dealing' with him, especially as I i. ig.:t chance to be. purchasing same of my own friends' stoien stock-and so my host was obliged to give up mercan- tile views altogether. I asked him rather abruptly whether he thought the Kafirs would go to war again with the English. Nothing could excee d the humility with which he deprecated the idea. The English were so powerful, and so good the Kafirs 'were so poor and so weak; besides, the English were so kind to the Kafirs, and they, poor fellows, felt so grateful." -I- knew the rascal was perfectly -well aware' that I did not be- lieve, a word he was saying; but, of course, I looked quite s 'hed 'f 'his since "ty' satisfied of "his sincerity. He then asked me the most puzzling questiohs about England and the queen whom, by the way, he flatteringly termed his 'mother.' (I. doubt whether her majesty would be proud of her son). He asked mfhbw many cows she bad -a master on which -I was shame- fully ignorant, ne -er having iriqurrd into- the extent of the royal farming ^tuck. He asked me whether she was always c, dressed in scarlet and gold like the governor of the colony. Veracity compelled me to reply No,' though I was too loyal a subject to venture to lower, her majesty's dignity m the eyes of her worthy sou,' by intimating that she oeea- sionally wore muslin and straw bonnets. I did assure hitii, houever, that sh" never dressed like his excellency, the governor; even h.r position .as head of the aruil by no u.eaiis compelling her to wear the garment peculiarly distinctive of the male s. amone Europeans. "Mact-.iuo was very ready to insinuate evil against his iH igbbours, ihc otiii-r chiefs. Tola, Sandilli, ancra few of suelvworthies, w..uld not. have felt flattered at his descrip- Jionsof their persons or their characters; though they are at least as hpnesr, and far better-looking (excepting in the mill tel' of:¡indl.1J¡ s,wlth¡¡H'd ¡e¡c), than their censor. "-I began.to talk bllllt. going back to Fort.

Macomo immediately offered it me—fur sixperce I paid the money (of course without }¡:I1:¡ru: at tl". little loan ot the previous day), and the Kafir's wu;.i>iianee brightened as he clutched the silver, and bade me a heiirty farewcil. I rbde back to Fort Beaufort, well pleased with my yjsit, but more than ever satisfied of the natural cunning, avarice, .craft, and dishonesty—the low- moral nature, and the utter untrustworthiness (if I may coin the word) of Kafirs in general, and, above all, of Macomo." KAUNITZ AND CHOISEUL" is somewhat dry, but the Zoological Notes and Anecdotes—treating of "LEOPARDS" fully makes amends, while MAJOR O'SHAUGHNESSY'S ADVEN'TCRE ON THE DUKE'S' MOORS" is a racy, latighter- exritingjpaper. The other., paper(are of the usual excellent calibre, and with the poetry, contribute to make upan. ad- mirable number. Blackwood (for November) in its leading paper re-Opens a mine, but little explored by reviewers, and still less known to the reading public. The Dramas and Plays of Henry Taylor have remained in comparative obscurity, and we thank Christopher. North tor thus rescuing Philip Van Artevelde, Edwin the Fair, and Taylor's other production^ from the bookshelves of his, friends. "A legend from pi- bfaltar" follows this timely review, and then we have some fervent anti-revolutionism,, the text of the comments being- a German book about Paris. Some pages devoted to the Submarine Telegraph contain both narrative and reflective matter, and then comes (what continues to be the Gem" of Blackwood) a continuation of Bulwer's My Novel." Ano- ther fiction entitled The Master Thief and a Norse Popular Tale, comes after, and some remarks on the meetings and —i .mn K Uii whtrh have is abuse of Joseph Hume, and condemnation of Sir James Graham, and the writer will not admit that his friends Disraeli, Henley, and Palmer, have avowed their intention soon to forsake the Protectionist cause. The Dublin University Magazine for November is elo- quent in opposition to the Salmon and Sea-fisheries, law of t842, under whose influence it states, the Salmon Fisheries of Ireland'have been destroyed. "Mauriee Tiernay" is continued, and then come some Historic notes on the Irish Census." The new novels of the season are noticed in the usual pleasant chatty manner of The Dublin. A Scotch legend varies the contents most appropriately: and the Poitrait Gallery is of Patrick Macdowell, R. A. "London, during the Summer of 1851" is pictured by one who must- have been a careful observer. There is also an account of Glasgow in 1851, in the course of which the writer condemns the Government attempt to take the management of the Clyde to London. Equally with the Dublin would we oppose all incipient efforts at the destruction of local governmpIJ 1. The Continent affords numerous and continuous examples of the baneful influence of centralization. The Art Journal, for October, has returned to the diinen-- sions which it maintained prior to the Exhibition. The usual monthly supplement for the Illustrated Catalogue having been discontinued, as I that work is complete. The present number contains engravings of Stansfeld's picture of the Battle of Trafalgar," Linnell', Woodcutting in Windsor Forest," and of Schwanthaler's statue the Bava- ria." No 11 of the Great Masters of Art consists of a sketch of Adrian Von Ostade. The account is illustrated^by wood- cuts of remarkable execution. Mr. Wallis's prize essay is continued, and Mr. Robert Hunt furnishes a paper on the Papier Mache manufacture. A page on costumes of various epochs gives occasion for some quaint illustrations and of the examples of Geruian artists—four specimens are given. The Pre-Raphaelite discussion draws a rather long paper from the Editor, and Mrs. Hall's pleasant Pilgrimages to English shrines" are resumed. We can only further men- tion that number four of Wanderings in the Crystal Palace deserves attention, and that there is a mass of matter in the number which we have no space to notice. The History of Scotland from the earliest period to the present time. By Thomas Wright, Esq M.A., F.S.A. Part 2. London: Tallis and Co. The first part of this work has not reached us, but from the specimen before us we conclude that a book of some magnitude is contemplated. Mr. Wright is more than favourably known as the author of a History of Ireland, and w? K-cl assurrd that in him Scotland wiil find the historian si;e so muc h needs. Me is hiuch used to the labour of col- lecting fact" auil he has shewn himself to be impartial in thdr u>e— leading qualities for such a work as this. The p:\rt before us (though sold at a low price) contains many chap- ters, the print and paper are excellent, and there are some engravings of merit." Therefore in the ordinary accessories of print anil paper, it is as far superior to the cheap periodi- cals of the day as are all Messrs. Tallis's publications, and as a iiferary and historical production, it promises worthily to tilt a hiatus in regard to Scotland, which thus far, the masses have had to deplore-for they have lacked the aid of a cheap attd good hi-tory of this very important part of the English nation. Tallis's Drazeiiig Room Table Book (for November) has not reached us. The Home Companion is a p-nny weekly journal nf the name as the Family il raM," and very much resembling it in style arid contents. It has, however, numerous illus- tration. We notice it for the purpose of. copying a sta- it contains, which is startling, if ;me — For the first iitne in the World's history, that leviathan in the work of human pronress, the Press," has been called upon to supply 5110,000 copics of a new Magazine. But a few years ago, it would have been impossible t., prndvj,-e such an enormous number with s .'heient rapidity. Instead of a simultaneous issue of h iff a vutlvm of copies, printed and distributed throughout the kingdom within the space of abou: three weeks, nearly seven months would have been consumed in the printing alone. Even now, with the aid of steaiii- which has increased our power of production from 2-50 to 80;) copies per hour-one machine, working 10 h'JUTs per day, would be occupied 624 days iff throwing off our first impres- sion. However, by stereotyping the forms, and keeping tiro machines working night and day, without intermission, we have been able to produce the 500,000 copies in 16 days and nights. To supply this number, we required 1000 reams of paper, ;;00 Sheets each. These reams, being placed upon the top of each, other, would form a pile nearly equal to the height of St. Paul's!' The weight of this pile would be about 2t),000 lbs. The sheets, pfperately laid out, would cover 61 square acres of land, leaving a large overplus; or, laid lengthways, end to end, they would extend above one thou- sand eight hundred and thirty-sin miles. The Literary Rambler, Numbers I and 2 (Vickers: Lon- don), is intended to be a twopenny monthly pamphlet. It comtains a summary of the political news of the month, no- tices of new books, articles on social topics, biography, dramas, tales and historical sketches. There is plenty of material for the price, and of quite an average quality. The American Magazine, No. 2, besides being, as before, rich in'trans-atlantic fiction, furnishes a well written sketch of the celebrated Mr. Hobbs, the lock-picker, and a well en- graved view of "the Park and City Hall, New York" This periodical ought to become a favourite. The cheap monthlies whose reputation and success are already firmly established continue to provide the greatest mass of intellectual food. Chambers's Journal has another of the interesting Tales of theCoast Guard," and its monthly batch of Things Talked of in London." Eliza Cook's Journal has a biographical sketch of Thiers, and several pages are occupied by the Editress's poems. The Home Circle watches the progress of Bloomerism" ci i tijiue-, Jr. Ji-nps' .? at'f ntiveiy, continues Mr. 11 Story without a Name," and gives the first of il16 Prize Poems." Hogg's Instructor is perhaps a more serious, though not less popular favourite, and its contents are varied by re- searches in Natural History, a Portrait Gallery, (Sir J. F. Herschel in the present number), and occasionally careful accounts of religious movements. In the number before us is a description of the Mormonites The Parlour Magazine is not so completely a mass of tales as heretofore. Biography and poetry occupy a greater share of the number, and there are some extracts from Lamartine's recent History of the Restoration. Punch laughs at Bloomerism and pats Kossuth on the baric—-jikv thc Times, when it is cautious, going with public opinion. Pleasant 7\t?M, parts 20 to 25, draws much information fe-r the youug, and many illustrations from subjects in the Exhibition. The usual "lessons" are also continued, and altogether the work is a most valuable one to Educators and Education. The Family Sunday Book, parts 9 and 10, contain dia- logues on Scripture naria>iv.s, familiarly written and suiud to the young. BOOKS. A concise Historical, Biographical, and Genealogical Atlas of the Principal Events in the History if England, France, Spain, Portugal, Germany, ami Italy. A/sj, tht celebrated European treaties, Painters, &c. Designed and compiled by Heneage Lowth, with the addition of the va- luable historical Luminary and observations of Lesage. Loudon Simpkin and Marshall Qf all the new plans for facilitating Education that reach us, few indeed have the charm of novelty, and fewer still can fairly claim for themselves any degree of adaptability. But M r., Lowth's Atlas is an exception. It teaches the leading events in the history of countries, the principal points in the biography of noted men, and the genealogy of the royal families-at a glance. By a skilfully studded map, and a carefully constructed diagram, such facts relating to England (from the Norman Conquest to the present time) are legibly placed on two folio pages. Of course, colours and symbols are pretty extensively used; but the plan is so perfect and simple that a minute's study serves to impress it on the me- mory, and once understood there is no fear that it will mis- lead the student. Letter press tables accompany each map and diagram, and by the judicious use of coloured marks supply the chronology of the events and facts which the maps display. The title which we copy above, explains how extensively his novel idea is applied by Mr. Lowth in this volume. We can assure our readers that the work will be found a most valuable auxiliary to Historical, Biographi- cal, and Genealogical studies. Christian Iconography or the- History of Christian Art in the Middle, Ages. By M. Didron. Translated from the iFrt-nch by E. J. Millington. In two volumes Vol. I. London. H. Gft Bohn. (Illustrated Library.) A want which English Archaeologists have long lamented is supplied in this translation. To the artist and architect generally, M. Didron's. valuable work has been hitherto closed, but this translation is alike ample and just, and will therefore be highly valued. Its subject is all important. The first volume comprises the history of the Nimbus, the Aureole, and the Glory, the history of God the Father, the Son, and the Holy' Ghost, and contains nearly one hundred and fifty woodcut illustrations. A History and description of Modern and avcietit TViiies. By Cyrus Lledding. Third Edition, with additions and cor- rections. LoudonII. G. Bohn. (Illustrated Library.) That the public has asked for a new Edition of this work, "we are bound to believe by the gratifying -yords on the title paae—that the merits entitle the volume to unlimited suc- cess, we also grant. Cyrus Redding is the most agreeable companion that can be obtained, when wines and wine nuuntries are to be the subjects of conversation. He describes the qualities, the mode of manufacture of all various pro- ductions, ancient and modern, and so interlarded with pretty images, useful facts, fine similes, and true history, and topo- graphy is his buoyant narrative that his book is of itself one long draught of nectar. We do not wonder that the public approve it, or that Mr. Bohn has thought it a fit subject for careful and elaborate illustration. Vasari's Lives of the most eminent Painters, Sculptors, and Architects. Vol. IV. Translated by Mrs. Jonthan Foster. London: H. G, Bohn. (Standard Library.) There are some twenty lives in the preseht volume, and Ïimong them we find Gehn8, ""Romans, Simone, Mosca, iche)e, and other celebrities. Mrs. Foster continues as careful in the translation, and as industrious in her endeavour to supply elucidatory and illustrative notes as we have pre. viously stated.

I Dialect Italian is not thought low and vulgar; it has its dictionaries, its standard works, and the patronage of the upper classes but an educated Englishman, instead of being proud to cohverse with his rustic neighbours in their own idiom, would have it thought he was born nowhere. If, in the warmth of debate, a phrase, or tone, indicative of his native spot,"escapes his lips, he blushes like a school-girl, as if he had uttered naughty words, and not the very language of Ben Johnson, Shakspere, or Chaucer. The weakness, too, is as ineffectual as it is unworthy. Not one man in a thousand but can be detected to have had a home, however much he may mince and Londonise his talk.- Qziarterly Review. THELLUSO- WITL. I In a quaint little volume is given the following account of one of the most singular testamentary documents ever executed. Peter Isaac Thelluson, an affluent London merchant, left E100,000 to his widow and children, and the remainder, amounting to more than E600,000, he left to trustees, to Acctitiialate during the lives of his three sons, and the lives of their sons then the estates directed to be pur- chased wiih the produce of the accumulating fund, to be con- veyed to the eldest male descendant of his three sons, with the benefit of survivorship. This singular will, being con- tested by the heirs-at-law, was fiaal'y established hv a deci- sion of the House of Lords, Jnne 2±. 1805. Mr. Thelluson iiied July 21, 1787, and from that time the stock ma y accu- mulate to a period of about 120 years, and amount to E140,000,000. Should no heir then exist, the whole is to be applied, by the agency of the sinking fund, to the discharge of the national debt. I CONQUEST OF DIFFICULTIES. I "It is well known," says Sir Francis Head, that one of the results of Mr. Robert Stephenson's elaborate investigation was that the London and Birmingham Railway ought to pass through the healthy and handsome town of Northampton. The inhabitants, however, urged and excited by men of in- fluence and education, opposed the blessing with such bar- barous fury, that they succeeded in distorting the line via the Kilsby tunnel, to a point five miles off." The Kilsb) tunnel, is a specimen of engineering which tells with double t'»rce after the above relation. Let to a contractor for X99,000, a quicksand soon stopped his progress, and though the company relieved him from his engagement, the vexation killed him. Mr. Stephenson then undertook the task, and confronted the difficulty with a most inventive spirit. Though the water rose and covered the works, though the pumping apparatus appeared insufficient, though the directors were inclined to abandon the task, the engineer, by the aid of their capital and his skill, with 1,250 men, 200 horses, and 13 steam engines, raised 1,800 gallons of water per minute night and day, for eiht months, from the quicksand alone, and infused into the workmen so much of his own energy, that when either of their companions were killed by their side, they merely threw the body out of sight, and forgot his death in their own exertions. Three hundred thousand pounds was the cost of this great work. Thirty-six millions of bricks were used in its formition 17i. 1.52 cubic yards of soil were taken from the tunnel in eight months 286,480,000 gallons of water were pumped from it and for all this the share- holders of the company are indebted to the men ofinfluence ind education," who excited the people of the healthy and handsome town of Northampton. History of English Rail- ways. I THE SEA A GREAT CEMETERY. 1 he sea is the largest of cemeteries, and its slumberers sleep without a monument. All other graveyards, in all other lands, show some symbol of distinction between the great and small, the rich and the poor: but in that ocean cemetery the king and the clown, the prince and the peasant, are alike undistinguished. The same wave rolls over all- the same requiem by the minstrelsy of the ocean is sung to their honour. Over their remains the same storm beats and the same sun shines and there, unmarked, the weak and the powerful, the plumed and the unhonoured, will sleep on until awaked by the same trump when the sea will give up its dead. I thought of sailing over the slumbering but devoted Cookman, who, after his brief but brilliant career, perished in the President-over the laughter-losing Power, who went down in the ill-fated vessel we may have passed. In that cemetery sleeps the accomplished and pious Fisher: but where he and thousands of others of the noble spirits of the earth lie no one but God knoweth. No marble rises to point out where their ashes are gathered, or where the lover of the good or wise can go and shed the tear of sympathy Who can tell where lie the tens of thousands of Afric's sons who perished in the middle passage ?" Yet that cemetery hath ornaments of Jehovah. Never can I forget my days and nights as I passed over the noblest of cemeteries without a single liuiiian mt,iuriient-Amet-ic(its Author. I WH\T M VY BE DONE "WIT I OI.D RAGS. There is a church actually existing, near Bergen, which can contain nearly one thousand persons. It is circular within, and octagonal without. The relievos outside, and th, statues within, the roof, the ceiling, the Corinthian ca- pitals, are all of papier m.ichc, rendered waterproof by saturation in vitriol, lime-water, whey, and white of eg £ We have no" yet r<v.ched this pitch of audacity in our use of paper but it should hardly surprise us, inasmuch as we em- ploy the same material in private houses, in steamboats, and in some public buildings, instead of carved decorations and plaster cornices. When Frederick the Second of Prussia set up a limited papier mache manufactory at Berlin, in 1765, he little thought that paper cathedrals might, within a century, spring out of his snuff-box by the sleight-of-hand of advancing art. At present, we old fashioned English, who haunt cathedrals, and build churches, like stone better. But there is no saying what we may come to. It is not very long since it would have seemed as impossible to cover eighteen acres of ground with glass, as to erect a pagoda of soap bubbles yet the thing is done. When we think of a psalm sling by one thousand voices pealing through an edifice made I of old rags, and the universal element bound down to carry I' our messages with the speed of light, it would be presumptu- ous to say what can and what cannot be achieved by science and art, under the training of steady old Time.—Dickens's Household Words. I A PARTY OF HIGH-FLYERS. Wild and daring as was the act, it is no less true that men's first attempts at a flight through the air were literally with wings. They conjectured that by elongating their arms with a broad mechanical covering, they could convert them into wings and forgetting that birds possess air cells, which they can inflate,—that their bones are full of air instead of marrow, and also that they possess enormous strength of sinews ex- pressly for this purpose,- these desperate, naif-theorists have launched themselves from towers and other high places, and floundered down to the demolition of their necks or limbs. according to the obvious laws and penalties of nature. We do not allude to the Icarus of old, or any fabulous or remote aspirants, but to modern times. Wonderful as it may seem, there are some instances in which they escaped with only a few broken bones. Milton tells a story of this kind in his History of Britain," the flying man being a monk of Malmshury, in.bilJ youth." He lived to be impudent and jocose on the subject, and attributed his failure entirely to his having forgotten to wear a broad tail of feathers. In 1742 the Marquis de Bacqneville announced that he would fly with wings from the top of his own house on the Quai des Theatins to the gardens of the Tuileries. He actually accomplished half the distance, when, being exhausted with his efforts, the wings no longer beat the air, and he came down into the Seine, and would have escaped unhurt, but that he fell against one of the floating machines of the Parisian laundresses, and thereby fractured his leg. But the most successful of all these instances of the extraordinary, however misapplied, force of human energies and daring, was that of a certain citizen of Bologna, in the thirteenth century, who actually managed, with some kind of wing contrivance, to fly from the mountain of B dojna to the river Reno. without injury. Wonderful admirable!" cried all the citizens of Bologna. Stop a little said the officers of the Holy Inquisition, this must be looked into." They sat in sacred conclave. If the man had been killed, said they, or even mutilated shockingly, our religious scruples would have been satisfied, but as he has escaped unhurt, it is clear that he must be in league with the devil. The poor successful" man was, therefore, condemned to be burnt alive, and the sentence of the Holy Catholic Church was carried into execution. -Dick- ens's Household Words." I SPOllTIVKNESS OF ANIMALS. I Small birds chase each other about in play, but perhaps the conduct of the crane and trumpeter fps-^hia oepit ms) is the most extraordinary. The latter stands on one leg, hops about in the most eccentric manner, and throws somersets. The Americans calls it the mad hild, on account of thesl singularities. The crane expands its wings, runs round in circles, leaps, and throwing little stones and pieces of wood in the air, endeavours to catch them again, or pretends to avoid them, as if afraid. Water-birds, such as ducks and geese, dive after each other, and cleave the surface of the water with out-stretched neck and flapping wings, throwing an abundant spray around. Deer often engage in a sham battle, or trial of strength, by twisting their horns together and pushing for the mastery. All animals that pretend vio- lence in their play stop short of exercising it the dog takes the greatest precaution not to injure by his bite, and the ourang-outang, in wrestling with his keeper, attempts to throw him, and makes feints of biting him. Some animals carry out in their play the semblance of catching their prey young cats, for instance, leap after every small and moving object, even to the leaves strewed by the autumn wind; they crouch and steal forward ready for the spring; the body quivering and the tail vibrating with emotion, they bound on the moving leaf, and again watch, and again spring forward at another. Rengger saw young jaguars and cuguars playing with round substances like kittens. Young lambs collect together on the little hillocks and eminences in their pastures, racing and sporting with each other in the most interesting manner. Birds of the pie kind are the analogies of monkeys, full of mischief, play, and mimicry. There is a story told of a tame magpie, which was seen busily employed in a garden gathering pebbles, and with much solemnity and a studied air dropping them in a hole about IS inches deep, made to receive a post. After dropping each stone, it cried currack! triumphantly, and set off for another. On examining the spot, a poor toad was found in the hole, which the magpie was stoning for his amusement.— Thomson's Passions of Ani- mals. WONDERS OF THE UNIVERSE. I What mere assertion will make any one believe that in one second of time, in one beat of a pendulum of a clock, a ray of light travels over 192,000 miles, and would therefore perform the tour of the world in about the same time that it requites to wink with our eyelids, and in much less than a swift runner occupies in taking a single stride ? What mor- tal can be made to believe, without demonstration, that the sun is almost a million times larger than the earth ? and that, although so remote from us, a cannoh ball shot directly towards it, and maintaining its full speed, would be twenty years in reaching it, yet it affects the earth by its attraction in an appreciable instant of time ? Who would not ask for demonstration, when told that a gnat's wing, in its ordinary flight. beats many hundred times in a second; or that there exists animated and regularly organised beings, many thou- sands of whose bodies laid close together, would not extend an inch ? But what are these to the astonishing truths which modern optical inquiries have disclosed, which teach us that every point of a medium through which a ray of light passes is affected with a succession of periodical movements, regu- larly recurring at equal intervals, no less than five hundred millions of millions of times in a single second ? That it is by such movements communicated to the nerves of our eyes that we see; nay more, that it is the difference in the fre- quency of their recurrence which affects us with the sense of the diversity of colour. That, for instance, in acquiring the sensations of redness, our eyes are affected four hundred and eighty-two millioas of millions of times; of yellowness, five hundred and forty-two millions of millions of times; and of violet, seven hundred and seven millions of millions of times per second. Do not such things sound more like the ravings of madmen than the sober conclusions of people in their waking sense:, ? They are, nevertheless, conclusions to which any one may most certainly arrive, who will only be at the tiatible of exmiining the chain of reasoning by which thay have been obtained.—.Sir John Herschell. GENKHAL JAMES WOLFK. I He was born in a house now inhabited by the vicar, at Westerham, Kent, on the 2nd day of January, 1727, and not, as the various notices of his life state, on the 15th day of January, 1726, (See Penny Cyclopaedia and other works). His mother's Christian name was Hen rietta, and she, I believe, came from or near Deptford, to which place in the latter years of her life she again went to reside. Wolfe was an only child. The name is still to be found in the neighbourhood of Westerham. Shortly after his birth his parents removed to a house at the extreme end of the town,—a picturesque mansion it is, and is named after him Quebec-house." Under this roof Wolfe's happiest hours were spent. His sword is preserved in the United Service Museum, and was engraved about two years since in the' Illustrated London News. An old professed portrait of him dangles as the sign of a beer-shop in Westerham. Wolfe was ardently attached to Colonel Barre, whose portrait is introduced in West's celebrated picture of the Death of Wolfe, another head in the picture is, I have been told, a likeness of a person who had been captured by the Indians, and was about to be scalped, when his life was saved by the intercession of a chief that Wolfe bad formerly pardoned.—

THE CORN-MARKET OF THE WORLD. I [From the Atlus.] I The repeal of the English corn-laws is likely to have an European interest little foreseen even by the warmest of Mr. Cobden's adherents. In providing bread for our own po- pulation, we have unconsciously become the regulators of the provision of the world Since the days when Joseph made Egypt the safeguard against the starvatiou of mankind, no country has assumed the part which recent measures have destined for England. There is little doubt that the bad harvest this year in many parts of North Germany will compel the inhabitants to look elsewhere for a large portion of their sustenance. Under our old regulations, not even the splendid farming of tiis,Grace the Duke of Richmond would have enabled Eng- land-to have supplied the demand at anything like an endur- able price. To seek corn in England for a famishing population would have been of as much use as for a beggar to go to the Jews for a cheap loan. The very last place in «hich Want would expect to find food-the place of all others least fitted to regulate the price of foreign markets, and where every bargain was exceptional, and every tran- saction useless to the rest of the world, was England. And yet, some three years after our new regulations have been put in force, not only are we about to sell corn to the very nation we feared would inundate us with its own, but we are likely to become the great corn-exchange of the entire continen t. In fact, the only country which from its position is acces- sible to the produce of all parts of Europe, has now become the only country which admits that produce fiee of duty. Hitherto, the exchange of corn between those distant parts which the different success of the harvest puts into the posi- tion of buyer and seller, has been altogether accidental. It was by very indirect and difficult means that the abundance of Prussia came in the end to supply the wants of the South of France. The tide of supply may have dribbled onwards from the one country to the other through a mul- titude of successive entrepots, or a more active speculation may have given occasion to direct supply; but neither in the one or the other case was it possible to place any sort of dependence on the mode of supply. Now, a market is open in England patent to the whole world perfectly accessible to everybody, unfettered by duties and restrictions of any kind. The transport of corn from all parts where there is a superfluity, to such a mart, becomes direct and immediate. Just as certainly do those whom a bad harvest compels to look elsewhere for their supply, know where to find it. Excepting in the case almost unprecedented, of a general bad harvest all over the world, corn henceforth can never at- tain a famine price, even in the most unfortunate localities. To those who wince at the celebrated reproach to England that it is a nation of shopkeepers, it may not seem particu- larly glorious that, under the Lion and Unicorn, we could write this title-General Corn-dealer to the Whole World. And yet there is something even of national greatness in the power of controlling the staple food of the universe, and almost having it in our hands to starve Christendom at will. A less questionable benefit is the pecuniary advantage which the carrying trade of such a commodity as corn will be to the mercantile interest of this country. It is a new and unexpected field of profit, which, if he knows how to use it, may be useful even to the British farmer. If this strange being should ever turn out like any common mortal, and know how to combine the knowledge, industry, and com- mercial organization at home, which he may command if he chooses, with the advantages of the earliest intelligence and the readiest transport towards the dearest mart abroad, he may have some compensation, after all, for the ruinous effect of free trade. The indirect influence of the English market has already been felt on the continent in another way. In 1S50 the produce of the harvest in France varied materially through- out the country. Highly abundant in the South, it was in the North and West considerably under the average. The existence of a regulating market in London, even at this early stage of free trade, prevented the fluctuation and dis- tress usually consequent on such accidents. The transport from England to the French provinces, even were they further removed than the unlucky site of last year's defi- ciencies, is quite easy enough to keep down any undue rise in the prices which the more fortunate districts might otherwise force on the necessities of their brethren. The puce of corn in the whole of France was singularly steady ti rou^ hout the year-almost as steady, in point of fact, as if the country had enjoyed a uniform harvest. To the advantages of our position with regard to Eutopp, .< to be r.dded our unique position with regard to America. The influence of the discovery of the New World on this cnuri'rv, wiiich placed it in the middle of the known world instead of leaving it in a remote corner, are only yet begin- ning to be fairly worked out. Not merely by our position, but by our connexions and commerce, we are alone fitted for the general exchange between America and Europe. As long as England is the staple manufacturer of cotton, so long must its relations with America be on a different foot- ing from those of the rest of Europe. If England were not already the great corn-exchange of the world, her connexion with America would make her markets the most convenient centres for the European demand for American produce of every kind. In short, the central position of England between both hemispheres, her insular character in the prrsent days of water-carri ige, her commercial habits, and the removal of all restriction on the importation of food, are more than enough to place her above all rivalry in the great corn mart of the whole world, with its attendant abundance, wealth, and influence. Without the absence of restriction, all the other advantages would be utterly thrown away.

I ST. ALBANS ELECTION. The St. Albans Bribery Commission held their first sitting in that town on Monday. Mr. W. Slade, Q.C., the chair- man on behalf of himself and his brother commissioners, Messrs. W. Forsyth and T. Phinn, stated their intention to confine their inquiry at first to the last election, though they had full power to go into former ones, the exercise of which would depend upon the evidence taken in connexion with the last election. He reminded those present, and likely to be engaged in the inquiry, that the commission had extraordi- nary powers, which they should not fail to use if necessary. The inquiry would be open unless they found that reports got iuto the newspapers, when it would become necessary for them to close their doors, a thing they did not wish to do. Notwithstanding this announcement, very full reports ap- peared in all the morning papers. The power of the Commis- sioners has already been signally exemplified. Mr. Edwards the witness who proved so impregnable to Parliamentary questioning, and who was consigned to Newgate in conse- quence, has yielded incontinently to the persuasive voice of Mr. Slade and made a clean breast of it in face of day. We now know upon the very best authority exactly how elections are really managed at those snug little boroughs which every now and then delight the Protectionists by examples of po- litical" re-action." Henry Edwards was formerly a manager of St. Albans Bank and a voter for the borough, but he is now out of both these businesses, and lives on a little farm in the neighbourhood. From this retreat, however, he still continued to take a part" in the borough elections, as he had done for twenty-five years past, and when the hunt was afoot on the 16th of last November he went up to town." Here he saw Mr. Coppock, with whom, as on previous occasions, he consented to act," and though there was as yet neither candidate nor contest in view the action" com- menced. The repository of the conscience, politics, and general disposition of the borough was Mr. Edwards him- self. The only thing to be settled was the sum which somebody was to pay for some sort of services in some description of proceedings, and this was set by the experien- ced valuers at 1:2,500 or thereabouts. This done, it re- mainpd to procure a paymaster, but candidates for the privilege wre lIO! readily forthcoming, one gentleman finding it not con 1 eutcnt," and another postponing his intentions to some future time." More than once was Mr. Edwards compelled to go up to town in search of a candidate," and when one at length appeared, the arrangements were impeded by an ugly claim for halves and quarters" on the part of a rival manager. Mr. Simpson knew of a good man," a 3,000-pounder, who was prepared to start, but who required unfortunately that his affairs should be conducted by Mr. Simpson instead of Mr. Edwards. This suggestion Mr. Edwards indignantly declined. It was quite impos- sible," he said, that he could give up his position in the town." Mr. Simpson proposed to split the differ- ence, by agreeing that each should" appropriate" fl,500 out of the L3,000 or he offered Mr. Edwards a bonus of E300 down if he would 44 retire" altogether but to neither of these tenders would Mr. Edwards accede. Ulti- mately, however, and after a good deal of mystification, there did appear a real veritable principal," and that gentle- man turned out to be Mr. Bell." So now, having effected this nrcessary provision, Mr. Edwards returned to St Albans, and told the constituency that he was prepared with a candidate," just as the Jacobite poet used to tell the Gaels that they had still a King I" What follows we take from the mouth of this manager himself." As early as the 28th of November he intimated to certain gentlemen in London that" expenses were beginning to be incurred," and that it was time he had some payment on account." Becoming gradually more circumstantial, he said he should like E500 in sovereigns, which he obtained in a packet," and which he locked up in the little tenement in Sovereign-alley. After this preliminary he sat down to write Mr. Bell's address to the electors, and such was the success of his composition that the first person who saw it was highly pleased, and said he should certainly vote for his friend." Thus encouraged, Mr. Bell came down to St. Albans, preceded by a protest against treating, bribing, and corrupting voters in any form whatever," and followed by five other packets" of the like dimensions and contents with that which had already been locked up in Sovereign- alley. Into the events of the" contest" which ensued it is not very necessary to enter, but as most readers are curious about details, and as it is not every day that a Mr. Edwards will stand before a Mr. Slade, we may just describe the forms of electoral business according to the use of St. Albans. They'^—that is to say, the general managers—first can- vassed the town all day, but there was not much to be done in that way." In the evenings Edwards usually took up his position at his office," and a soiree was held at which, according to the regular custom of twenty-five years," the voters attended, and if they promised their vote, he gave them headmoney." On the stairs was stationed an assistant in the capacity and position of those brilliant life-guardsmen who occupy the landing places at a royal levee. In former days this office was filled by Mr. Edwards's brother-in-law, but in more recent times it devolved upon his sons. The current quotation on such occasions was E5, which was in- creased a little if the functions of messenger, spy, or pugilist were added to that of elector. At the last election there were three prize-fighters employed to keep the peace," whose actual services to the cause of Mr. Bell the witness estimated at full L,50, though they only received E15. As to the number of those who came to terms with Mr Edwards we may safely give them the name of Legion," without offence against ( ither truth or discretion. More than 100 were ticked off" in the register of one parish only, v Such in th -simple story told by Mr. Edwards now that he has contented to speak. On the general question we will merely remark, that all the evidence concurs in representing these practices as time. honoured, customary, and notorious in fact, a professional gentleman positively applied to Mr. Edwards for a slice of what was going on" on the mere ground of freedom of the borough. He was determined, he said, not to sit quiet now that lie was going to reside in that locality," and he put the common-right of a St. Albans solicitor at ten guineas a day for the election period. As to politics, these, as we have staled, were conceived to fall in with all other arrangements under the control of the manager for the borough, and Mr. Edwards testified a good deal of soreness at the fact that a political character should have been given to the demonstra- tions of the late contest. He considered that the Tories were merged in the Liberal party," and was very much disappointed at their not coming over to him, according to compact." We do not wish to anticipate the decision of the Commissioners, eays the Times, but we can hardly forbear surmising that ordinary differences of opinion will be promptly found to merge," like the borough politics, in some general conclusion respecting the fitness of the constituency under Mr. Edwards's management to contribute to the great of the cation in Parliament usembled.

KOSSUTH IN LONDON. On Wednesday, the Corporation of London presented their address to Kossuth at the Guildhall. The procession is thus described. As it passed along Piccadilly, its size swelled every moment, until at length it could scarcely move along. At Trafa Iar-sq uare the scene was peculiarly impressive. The whole space was crowded by a vast concourse of spectators. Here M. Kossuth stayed for several minutes, and, rising in the carriage, he bowed gracefully to the people. He was dressed entirely in black, and wore the handsome Hungarian cloak, with a picturesque Hungarian hat decorated with a dark feather, that, by the way, would serve as a 1110 lei for dress reformers. He looked exceedingly well, and very like his portraits, except that he has a much milder and more be nignant expression. Many persons throughout the route pressed forward to shake hands with him. All the time, the cheering was immense, varied occasionally by groans for the Times, copies of which were, at three or four places, indig- nantly ripped up, or ignominiously burnt, amidst the raptu- rous plaudits of the crowd. In Fleet-street the cheering was incessant and deafening, and the waving of hats and handkerchiefs from above and below presented a most imposing spectacle. The crowd at Farringdon and Bridge-streets was immense, and Ludgate- hill appeared a perfect jam." Language would fail in describing the scene which was presented from Ludgate-hill towards Temple-bar. As far as the view could penetrate there was one dense mass of vehicles and human beings. In their progress, the crowd had given many a groan for the Times; but at No. 28, Ludgate-street, a circumstance occurred which brought the people's indignation up to the highest pitch. At a window here a copy of the Times was exhibited. It was immediately met with loud groaning, and assailed with a shower of mud. Presently a candle was brought out and applied to the oracle of Printing-house square, which was burned to ashes amid the most vociferous cheering. Without specifying any further incidents, we hasten to the close of the progress. The corner of King-street was the most favourable point of view. Here the crowd was densest, here the windows and balconies were most filled, here the welcome was, if that can be said of any particular spot, warmest, and here a solemn holocaust, in which a copy of the Times was again the victim, was offered to M. Kossuth's slandered fame. A few seconds more and he had descended from the carriage and standing upon the steps of Guildhall, he was cordially and respectfully received by the Lord Mayor and other civic authorities. The great chief again bowed his acknowledgments, another copy of the 'rimes was burned, and he turned to enter the hall. The limits of a weekly newspaper render it imposible to give the address or the answer to it by the illustrious exile. But we do not regret the circumstance, as all Kossuth can say he has already said in the eloquent speech he delivered at Southampton. We merely add that he has declined the public subscription which was eagerly pressed upon him, and which, there is no doubt, would have amounted to a princely sum. Meetings in the various districts of London are being daily held for the purpose of addressing Kossuth. The inhabitants of Liverpool held a very large one on Thursday, in the Royal Amphitheatre, for the same object, and the other manufac- turing towns, great and small, are following the example. THE WORKING MEN'S METROPOLITAN DEMON. STRATION IN HONOUR OF KOSSUTH. At an early hour on Monday morning, large bodies of per- sons were congregated at different parts of the metropolis, for the purpose of going to Copenhagen-fields, to be present at the presentation to Kossuth of the address of the working men of London. Many of the parties were headed by bands of music, and having appropriate flags in the van ward. The persons composing the different supplementary processions were decked out in their holiday attire, and ornamented with tricolour and other ribbons. From all the points of the com- pass, bodies of men marched towards Russell square, the place of meeting. The various parties evinced no inordinate degree of enthusiasm, but marched with a quiet and unob- trusive demeanour. From the number of such persons, and bodies of men proceeding bv different streets and by various routes, some of the detractors of Kossuth foretold the arrival of a second tenth of April. As they passed along, however, there was little in the appearance of the various bodies which indicated any intention to disturb the public peace. They were all quiet and peaceable, and notwithstanding the thou- sands who were congregated in separate bands, good conduct and good will appeared to prevail. The Southern Metropoli- tans-the men of Southwark and Lambeth-mustered in great strength, and as they passed along the Strand and the adja- cent streets, the colours which were held up attracted great attention. One flag had on it the words-" There is no ob- stacle when one wills." On another were the Words- Kossuth and Hunaary." Several other flags bore inscrip- tions to the same effect and all were got up with great taste and appropriate to the occasion. At eleven o'clock the various trades began to assemble in Russell-square, and long before twelve o'clock the immense area of the square and the various streets leading to it were -filled, the scene presenting one entire mass of human beings of the working classes, decently dressed, and conducting them- selves with a degree of order and regularity that reflected the highest credit upon them. In Eaton-place, the residence of Kossuth, a crowd of per-. sons had assembled, and precisely at eleven o'clock M. Kos- suth left the house, amidst the cheers of the persons assembled, accompanied by his immediate Hungarian friends, privately, in a close brougham and pair, for Copenhagen House. Notwithstanding the privacy he so much desired, the crowd pressed round the carriage in large numbers, anxious to catch a glimpse of him, but after some trifling delay he was allowed to proceed. In Keppel-street, leading to Russell-square, the point at which the Central Committee proposed to head the proces- sion, the crowd was immense, and it is not an exaggerated statement that the crowd, coupled with the procession throughout the entire line of route, could not have amounted to less than 50,000 persons. From the distance that many of the unions had to come, and the difficulty of getting them into order, great delay took place in the formation and de- parture of the procession, and it was not until one o'clock that they could be formed into regular order. The police authorities had at an early hour taken every reasonable precaution, in case of any disturbance, and placed reserves of the various divisions of the police to the extent of upwards of 600 men, in th-1 district, under the direction of Captain Hay and Captain Labalmondiere, inspector super- intendent. At one o'clock, the procession having been formed, moved towards Copenhagen Fields, the various shop- keepers throughout the line closing the shops, and the win- dows of the houses being filled with well-dressed females. The cheering was most enthusiastic. The procession then moved in the following order :—Three gentlemen on horse- back, acting as marshals then came a huge banner, having inscribed on it Welcome to Kossuth." The members of the central committee, five abreast, preceded by a brass hand, which played an Hungarian air-followed by the Turkish standard, the colours of the United States, a banner containing Kossuth,—Mazzini,—Hungary,—Italy,—with va- rious other banners of the various trades, each division being accompanied by bands of music. The victims of 1818," the men of Marylebone, the Tower Hamlets, and Welcome to Kossuth," were most conspi- cuous. The enormous crowd, without any interference or interruption, proceeded through Tottenham-court-road, pas- sing along Hampstead, Camden-road, Camden-villas, up to the Brecknock Arms, turning down Maiden-lane, where they entered the grounds in front of the Copenhagen Tavern- here the enthusiasm was immense, the reverberating shouts from the uplifted voices of the masses assembled continued to be echoed for several minutes. The Magyar, accompanied by his suite, having presented themselves at the window, the cheering was renewed. The deputation then proceeded into the large room to present the address in consequence of the weak state of M. Kossuth. At half-past 2 o'clock the area in front of Copenhagen House presented an animated appearance rarely witnessed. There were at least from 30 to 40,000 persons present. On the arrival of "the head of the procession, the Deputation at once filed off through the avenue arranged by the police, and were introduced by Mr. Thornton Hunt, the chairman of the committee, who received them surrounded by an immense assemblage of friends, in the most cordial manner. Mr. Hunt briefly introduced the mover and seconder of the address, and stated its general import. M. Kossuth said he felt very gratefully for the considera- tion shewn by the working classes of this country for the exertions he had made to extend the freedom of the people of Hungary. And in receiving the address, he could assure them that in giving his best thanks for what they had done he would always give the highest consideration to all bodies of the working classes, so that they might continue to exer- cise the power they had. Mr. Hunt then explained to the Magyar the sections by whom the masses he saw were represented, and proceeded to show, that by far the largest section of them were com- posed of the industrial classes of society. M. Kossuth replied-His feeling was the same, his grati- tude to the people of Great Britain was pure and whole; he thanked them from his heart for the enthusiasm that had been displayed. M. Kossuth then, in an able and admirable speech, stated his political views, and defended in his ad- dress his conduct with respect to Hungarian affairs. After taking a rapid glance at the history of the late struggle, and the part which he took in it, he reviewed the conduct of the agents of the House of Hapsburg, and appealed to the audience for their sympathy in favour of the cause of which he was the exponent and advocate. Throughout the speech of the Magyar the greatest en- thusiasm prevailed, and its conclusion was received with reiterated shouts of applause. It was some time before he retired from the balcony, and repeatedly bowed to those around him, and the great mass of people before him. He appeared to feel highly gratified at the manner in which he had been received. The demonstration passed off in a highly satisfactory and quiet manner. Neither Mr. O'Connor nor Mr. Reynolds, who seemed eager to take a part in the proceedings, was allowed to have an interview with M. Kossuth.

KOSSUTH'S HEALTH.—A deep sense of gratitude is felt by the family now resident under the hospitable roof of Mr. Massingberd, at Eaton-place, at the arrival of Sir James Clark, on Saturday, with the offer of his valuable professional services, should the illustrious exile wish to avail himself thereof. The country will appreciate the kindness as well as delicacy which suggested this visit, not without its significance. M. KOSSUTH AND HIS ENGLISH.-The deep attention with which M. Kossuth was listened to, the impression he created, and the enthusiasm with which he was received, at the dejeuner, on Saturday, were most remarkable. Nothing could be finer than the energy and pathos of his elocution, and the purity of his English was a matter of pleasant sur- prise to every one who had the advantage of listening to him. It is said that his great proficiency in our language arose in the following interesting manner :—His first political achieve- ment was the publication of the Hungarian debates, in which be was constantly obstructed by the Austrian government. They went so far as to refuse a licence to any printer to publish them, when M. Kossuth had them written out by clerks, and circulated through the country. He attempted to pursue the same course with respect to the discussions in the comitats but here the government, not having the fear of the parliament before its eyes, stepped in and committed him to prison, where he remained for three years. During the first year he was deprived of the use of books, pens, or paper but at the end of twelve months his gaolers somewhat relaxed, and he was informed that he might have one book, provided it had no relation to politics. He asked for three, promising.that they should not have the slightest connexion with politics. He asked for Shakspeare, an English Gram- mar, and a Walker's Pronouncing Dictionary, and immedi- ately set about the study of the English language. In about a fortnight he had mastered a page of the Tempest," and from thence his progress was rapid. It is not at all improbable that these books, which were so carefully selected from their non-connexion with politics, may lead to the most impor- tant political results, by enabling M. Kossuth to state forcibly to the English and American people the real circumstances connected with the national struggles of Hungary. SINGULAR DEATH.—A young woman has recently died at Bath from a rupture of a blood-vessel, caused, it is conjec- tured, by the tightness of her garter. The orifice in her leg, through which the blood escaped, was not larger than a pin's head, and at first, little attention was paid to the cir- cumstance, but feeling exhausted, she was removed to the hospital, where the dangerous nature of the misfortune was soon discovered, but nevertheless, she shortly afterwards died.

FOREIGN INTELLIGENCE. FRANCE. The political crisis in France having lasted nearly three weeks, was found to be reacting very disastrously upon trade. This showed the social disease under a new phase symptomatic of deeper danger, and urgently demanding a speedy remedy. Frenchmen are, indeed, by this time so much accustomed to consider their political state as one of crisis and transition, that they have begun rather to like it. A chasm in the Cabinet; a dead lock in the Assembly or a breach between the leaders of the Legislative and Execu- tive branches of the governing power, afford subject for pleasing excitement and speculation. But a trading convul- sion, with Rentes falling, commerce stagnating, and em- ployment disappearing among the operative class, are signs whose warning cannot be safely neglected or postponed. As an immediate result when the crisis has passed into this stage, a whole chaos of idleness and discontent among the ourrier population—whose heavings even in periods of com- parative repose, are always threatening to topple down the ricketty edifice of constitutionalism in France-would be at once let loose against the Government and the friends of "order." Louis Napoleon, therefore, feeling that the crisis could not safely be left to itself any longer, and that the functions of administration must be entrusted to something better than the galvanised members of a defunct Cabinet, has patched up a Ministry for the occasion. The names of the new officials were published in the Moniteur on Monday last, and comprise a body of gentlemen remarkable among all the suggested combinations, or past experience of Ministries, chiefly in this-that they are all men of fair character and no political antecedents. Only three of the number are repre- sentatives. Of the rest, many had never exchanged a word with their present colleagues, and one or two not with the President himself, prior to the meeting at which they sat as an inchoate administration. This lack of antecedents has formed the main ground of attack upon the new Ministry for the opposition journals. No one, it is said, can tell what to expect from them, or what anticipations to form as to the measures they are likely to do or to undo. On the other hand, this same condition of insignificance, with no past to obliterate, and no pledges to hamper their actions, is likely to prove very convenient to the Ministry, charged, as they will be, with the immediate necessity of solving a very entangled and untoward political puzzle. No one believes that the Cabinet can be permanent; but if it survives until the ques- tion respecting the Electoral Law is disposed of, and can bequeath the Government to its successors disembarassed of that stumbling-block, and not seriously damaged in popularity or strength, Louis Napoleon will have good reason to be abundantly satisfied. M. GUIZOT ON ENGLAND AND FRANCE. On Sunday, all Normandy" assembled to inaugurate an equestrian statue of William the Conqueror, at Falaise, one of the chief towns of the arrondissement in the department of the Calvados. M. Guizot, who was for twenty years one of the members for the department in the Chamber of De- puties,—was among the speakers. William the Conqueror he believed to have been a really great man, and his enter- prise was without a comparison in history. They had seen conquests more vast, more dazzling, than those of King William, but they disappeared as rapidly as they were made. The phenomenon was rare of invasion founding a state. Yet William accomplished such a deed. William was in harmony with the spirit and the permanent interests of his age; "he was as deeply imbued with a conservative spirit as he was gifted with the genius of a conqueror." His glory, however, had cost them dear. It was the origin of that national strug- gle, which lasted more than three centuries between France and England. It was William who, by establishing between two nations partial and precarious ties, began between them that epoch of terrible hostility, and all the wars which lasted until they terminated in a complete separation of the two countries. We were the conquerors in that mighty strug- gle. We successively won back all the parts of our territory, and ended gloriously by securing our national independence. We definitively drove the Norman invaders to the soil con- quered by them, and whither we had sent them. That glo- rious creature, without parallel in the history of the world- with a nature half-angelic, half-heroic—Joan of Arc, for ever destroyed what the successors of William the Conqueror laboured to eifect in France; and it was on the same spot of earth, in this very city of Rouen (where King William met his death) that the Virgin Warrior sealed with her martyr- dom the deliverance of her country." But he (M. Guizat) loved rather to contemplate the history of our own days, than to dwell upon the glorious but saddening memories of the past In our times, also, ships without number crowd our coasts, and convey thousands upon thousands of voyagers to the shores of England. But is it for another war that they thus depart ? No, no It is benign peace that beckons and guides them to a foreign land and leads them back again. Their desire is not for chivalrous adventure, nor is their am- bition that of conquest. They crowd thither to offer, or bring back, the pledges of reciprocal prosperity. The inter- course between the two nations is now as pacific as it is fre- quent and animated. A Crystal Palace where they congre- gate in thousands; an invisible thread-a flash of lightning shooting beneata the wave which conveys from the one to the other the message of their mutual wants and their mutual services; such, gentlemen, are the bonds which now replace those that William the Conqueror wished to establish Which of the two periods, gentlemen, is the happier ? Which spectacle is the nobler, the more glorious ? In the midst of the troubles and disquietudes which weigh upon us in our present agitated and precarious condition, we yet have a right to be proud of, and full of hope in, our own age, pro- vided our hope and our pride do not impel us into the pride of madness. We may justly speak of the benefits and the marvels of our civilization, provided that our civilization be not itself like a Crystal Palace, which all men admire, but which all at once disappears and that it cannot be said of it, in the language of the great poet, that Normandy has given to France, with its brilliancy the brittleness of glass. T wish not, gentlemen, to throw a gloom over this festi- vity by words of sadness, but you will pardon me the expres- sion of a sentiment, which is certainly that of all men of sense and of hotiour. When men who traverse the wide ocean are overtaken by the tempest it is not sufficient to have a noble ship, well equipped, and well furnished with an in- telligent, brave, and hardy crew that crew must be united and the noble ship must have stout anchors for on these the salvation of all depends. Let us, gentlemen, be firmly united let us know how to possess ourselves of the strong anchors of society let us trust to them together. Yes Heaven will deign to grant us salvation, if we act so as to deserve it!" ITALY. The Roman Journal of the 8th inst. contains an account of the Pope's visit to the tomb of Pius V. and to Borghese Chapel, the chapter of which were admitted to the privilege of kissing his Holiness's toe; but no mention is made of the Pontiff's illness or death, a report of which was current in Paris last week. The principal Turin paper states that Carlo Poerio, who is on his sick bed in the hospital prison of Ischia, wears never- theless, the chains, described by Mr. Gladstone. This paper gives further instances of the implacable cruelty and falsehood of the Neapolitan Government. I GERMANY. There exists a difference between Austria and Prussia rela- tive to the partition of the German fieet. Austria is desirous that it should be divided into three squadrons—an Austrian squadron in the Adriatic, a Prussian in the Baltic, and a North German squadron to be maintained by Hamburg, Bre- men, and Hanover; the non-maritime states to contribute their quota in money. Prussia, on the other hand, demands a partition of the vessels according to the sums paid by the different governments for the construction and purchase of the vessels. This plan is regarded as a death-blow to the maintenance of a German fleet, and a make-shift of Prussia to get rid of the obligations she had taken upon her- self. The Earl of Westmoreland reached Vienna, as British Ambassador, on the 14th ultimo, and had an interview with Prince Schwarzenbeg next day. The Russian Minister, Meyendorf, gave a grand dinner on the occasion, to which all the chiefs of embassies were invited. The trial of many judges implicated in the Hesse-Cassel re- volution has been pending for a year and it is satisfactory that the members of the Gottenburg law tribunals, who were charged with resistance to Hassenpflug' ordinance, have been acquitteu by the general auditory." The law courts of Germany have given manifold evidence lately of their uprightness. Every government prosecution of the press in Prussia has been defeated by juries, who have always re- turned a verdict of acquittal; and now we see that in llesse- Cassel, where Hassenpflug is most anxious to make examples a similar result has followed from appealing to the ordinary tribunals. SPAIN. I The Queen of Spain has addressed an autograph letter to the inhabitants of Cuba, expressive of her approval of their conduct during the invasion of the island by the American pirates. To the title of ever faithful" applied to the island of Cuba, her Majesty has added that of ever loyal." The royal letter is to be deposited in the archives of the city of Havannah, and authentic copies of it are to be forwarded to all the municipalities in the island. DENMARK. I The Conservative members of the Ministry, Count Carl Moltke, M. Reedtz, and General Filliger, have resigned, and a fresh Ministry, composed of Members of the advanced party in the Parliament, is to be formed. According to the last accounts, M. Bluin, formerly Inspector of the Sound Dues, has been appointed Minister of Foreign Affairs, and Gen Von Flensborg, Minister of War. It is stated that the Govern- ment has resolved to bring the Duke of Atigustenberg before a court-martial, and to confiscate his estates, in the event of his refusing to renounce his claim to the Crown. RUSSIA. I Rumours are in circulation of a newly-discovered conspi- racy among the nobility of St. Petersburg, and of the arrest of several considerable persons standing very near the throne. The discovery, it is said, was made by officers of the body- guard of the Emperor, whom the conspirators endeavoured to bring over to their party, but who revealed the whole matter to the Emperor. TURKEY. I The present Prince of Servia a vessal of the Porte, but under the influence of the Austrian consul), has permitted or instigated a serious affront to the British flag. The 11th was the Prince's birthday, on the night of which the Servian in- habitants of Semlin are compelled to illuminate their dwellings, while the foreign representatives of great powers never burn an additional candle. The militaryband paraded through the town at eight p.m., and passed the Russian and Austrian consulates, accompanied by a crowd of police agents and Servians of every degree. On reaching the street in which the British consul-general lives, they halted within a few yards of the house; some cries of Kossuth's consul were heard from the Austrian part of the mob, the drums beat an encouraging roll, and the work of demolishing the windows commenced, and lasted the better part of three quarters of an hour without the slightest attempt at repres- sion. The consul-general (M. de Fonblanque) hurried to his residence, and had his shoulder wounded by a heavy stone, hurled at him by a Servian officer, who ran away, but is well known. Next morning the British flag was struck, and Captain Dudley Heneage proceeded to Constantinople with the consul-general's despatches to Sir Stratford Canning. With regard to the reply of Abbas Pasha to the Porte, the Paris Constitutionnel says :—" In despite of the formal as- surances given by Sir Stratford Canning to the Porte, of the striking success obtained in Egypt by the mediation of Lord Palmerston, it appears that Abbas Pacha is not so disposed assupposed at the English embassy. Abbas Pacha pretends to fear that, in submitting to the demand of authorisation ex- acted from him, he should alienate a portion of his rights, and be confounded with the class of common governors of pro- vinces. Sir Stratford Canning had, on the 13th inst., a fresh conference on this subject with the Grand Vizier and the Minister of Foreign Affairs. The course which the Porte will take on this subject is not yet known. On the 15th there was a grand council to deliberate on the answer of the Viceroy." Letters from Alexandria state that the engineers, workmen and a considerable quantity of material had arrived long before from England, but that the works on the railways had not commenced on the 1st of this month. Austria has just concluded a very advantageous treaty of I' trade with the Porte but Turkey, it is said, will be required to make further expiatory sacrifices before Kossuth's libera- tion will be pardoned.

HOLLOWAY'S PiLLS FOR THE CURE OF WEAK DIGESTION, DISORDERED STOMACHS, AND DEBILITATED CONSTITU- TiONS. -The strengthening and invigorating properties of these astonishing pills are so great, that all persons of low or nervous habits, or whose digestive organs are impaired, should give them a trial, as the most debilitated constitu- tions have been renovated by their use, after every other medicine had been tried in vain. Officers in the army and others that have resided for some time in warm climates, when suffering from bilious affections or liver complaints, have invariably been eared by the use of Holloway's Fills.

I LONDON MARKETS, MONDAY, Nov. 3. MARK LANE.—There was a fair supply of wheat by land- carriage samples from Kent, and small from Essex, the whole met a slow sale on the terms of this day se'nnight. Foreign met some inquiry, but the state of the English market in- duced buyers to hold off and the business transacted was limited, last week's prices being with difficulty obtained. There is a good demand for barley, and foreign being very scarce, brings an advance of Is. per quarter. Peas are unal- tered in value. Beans sell readily, at rather more money than of late. The oat trade is very firm, and, in some in- stances, a slight advance is established from the prices of this day se'nnight. We observe no alteration in the sale or value of flour. LONDON AVERAGES.

SMITHFIELD.—Notwithstanding the abundance of keep in our large grazing districts, and the continued fineness of the weather, the arrivals of English beasts fresh up this morning were considerably on the increase, and there was a decided improvement in their general quality. The attendance of both town and country butchers was large nevertheless, t he beef trade was in a very depressed state. In some instances the primest Scots sold at last Monday's quotations but all other breeds gave way in value 2d. per 81bs., and a total clearance was not effected. From Lincolnshire, Leicester- shire, and Northamptonshire we received 2,800 shorthorns; and from other parts of England 800 Herefords, runts, De- vons, &c. The remainder of the supply was chiefly derived from abroad. With sheep we were but moderately supplied. For all breeds the demand ruled steady, at fully list week's advance in prices. The primest old Downs sold at from 4s. to 4s. 2d. per 8lbs. Calves-the supply of which was mode- rate—moved off slowly, at late rates. In pigs comparatively little business was transacted, but we have no actual fall to notice in the quotations.
