IT were devoutly to he wished that the celebration of ceateuaries were limited by law or custom to millenary periods. Public shams corrupt public morals and when the centenary or tercentenary of some illustrious benefactor of mankind is made the oceasion of spouting nonsense and transplant- ing shrubs on Primrose Hill, or impressing on an ignorant rabble the righteousness of democracy and atheism, it is a gross desecration of the memory we profess to honour. Whether the modest awl truly rational wish of a greater spirit than HUMBOLDT to live in the hearts of the few and fit was shared by the German philosopher, we know not; genius and vanity are not incom- patibles, but none surely can doubt that the author of the Kosmos" would have declined without thanks the promise of such a centenary celebra- tion as he has just received at Berlin and elsewhere in Germany. The Times appears to consider it a proci ot tne imbecility of courts that neither Royalty nor the educated classes generally gave any countenance to a pretended fitc, which every one knew would and could be nothing but a political or socialistic demonstra. tion. The intelligent costermongers who con- founded SHAKLSI'EAKE with GARIBALDI on Primrose-hill had their counterpart at Berlin. Under the impression that they were about to celebrate the birth, death, or burial, or some- thing else appertaining to a great democratic hero, they assembled in great numbers, and no doubt went away prodigiously ediiicd by the stale atheism with which they were regaled, though, strange to say, it elicited no applause, notwith- standing the judicious preparation of men's minds by a prelude of solemn religious music. Now whàt ?.?d c:m possibly arise from these periodical !?<r?rics of fame—this bating with the rabble's praise the memory of the illustrious dead ? Can tin- bleed of Ill-MHOLDTS,'OI bHAKESFEAEES, OI r,iii.|ii<-ivi\s at Lodi be increased in numbcr or improved in <|uality by taking their great names in vain; by eitiug passages from their works or example:! their lives on which to Compose iloiisen':e ovations, whether ;~bout liberty or loyally, mieialirfiu or Ca-sarirtm ?

Let us rather ask in all seriousness whether a blind adoration of great names for the name's sake, that is, by those who never can nor care to know anything of the works which made the names famous, be not a very dangerous trap for the folly and superstition of mankind. Is there not reason to believe that the mythology of Greece arose entirely from this very custom of hero-worship in its more rational form ? Every tourist knows what wild work the local guides make of the classical worthies and the saints of the Church. And it seems to ;>;iy"an fgnJ."ance of human nature as gross in its kind as that of v.'liieh we speak to suppose that by dint of talking about great names we inspire any real interest in the works to be studied, or enthusiasm for the men who produced them. The present BYRON controversy has given an impulse to the sale of his works. Those who loved not BYRON before will not love him more now. To sit on sofas and muse ever the last sensational trash-to talk about BROWNING, TENNYSON, or LONGFELLOW, or any other eminent poet, as the penny-a-liners have very properly dubbed these modern representatives of the poetic genius of the lanel-to go into rapbres over the silliest and most immoral play, and view the stores of Mr. BOUCICAI:LT iinr-Ile(I-this will always be the moral pa1l1um of that numerous class who derives all its intrest in Byizof from the sickening cant which has lately been pub- lished about him; and the goddess of their literary idolatry will be a vulgar and ra- pacious defamer of the dead on the strength of the hallucinations of another cantan- kerous old woman. And so will it fare with HUMBOLDT. People who never heard of his name will purchase his works, talk about him for nine days, and then consign him, as far 'as they are concerned, to oblivion for another hundred years. The interest which the non-betting man has in the winner of the Derby is all the interest which the unhistorical, the unscientific, and the unliterary can be made to feel in the only men who make misanthrophy a disease and contempt of the human race impossible. The memory of the highly-cultivated scholar may be likened to a long portrait-gallery, in which all that is great in art, science, and literature is fairly represented. When leisure and inclination serve he reviews the precious collection, and, para- doxical as it may seem, a competitive examination would tend to convey the impression that he knows least about those who have contributedinost power- fully to modify the whole bias of his thoughts. But the explanation is simple; when the mind has been fairly saturated with an author's spirit; when his modes of expression have become thoroughly familiar, we may hardly recur to his writings once in twenty years, and yet retain the same real and essential familiarity with all that he has to teach, and with his peculiarities of style that we had while going over the half-inspired page. We are by no means satisfied that we could answer that pet, because, no doubt, important examination question as to the number of sonnets, but we are quite sure that no gross misquotation either of the sonnets or the "Paradiso Lost" or Regained" would escape our detection. And in proportion to the reality and depth of our admi- ration of, and our love for, those who rule our spirits from their urns is the aversion we feel to seeing our idols vulgarized and debased by being paraded at centenaries and ter-centenaries for the excitement of an ignorant mob, whether fashionableor unfashionable—whetherto serve the purposes of faction or to surround a tyranny with a halo not its own. We have known men with whose feeling we could partially sympathise who abhorred to write a magazine or newspaper article on the subjects that lay nearest to their hearts. On a dry question of political economy, the causes of crime and pauperism, the progress of the nation towards the millennium, and similar matter, they could be voluble and eloquent, pas- sionate or sarcastic; but set to review a favourite author, to analyse a psychological theorem they had resolved in a hundred ways for themselves, they became the quintessence of dulness and apparent ignorance. And in this way, perhaps, may be accounted for the curious fact, that at the centenary of the birth of HUMBOLDT learned pro- fessors appeared to have nothing to say about a philosopher whose researches extendel over the whole physical world, but were only able to give us a dreary summary of the dreary results of rationalistic atheism. If they really cared about the great philosopher, we can only pity them in their misery in having to discourse about their idol to such an audience. But if they really be- lieve that the young ladies who sent wreathes to crown the bust of IIUIIBOLDT, or the riff-raff who learned with satisfaction from learned lips that there is no GOD-if the professors really thought that the people cared, or ever will care, a jot about the author of the Kosmos"—all that we can say is that we pity them still more. It is, how. ever, vain to hope that the literary and unliterary SMITHS and BARNUMS of the world will let the great dead repose unmolested in the living shrines they sought and obtained-the memory of those who need no speeches and trumpets to re- mind them that such men were. We must sub- mit to this sort of thing as we do to other nuisances, the grinding of MOZART upon an organ, or the deification of a heartless wife by a catch-penny slanderer of an immortal genius. 6-

Mr. BKIGHT'S friends have fallen upon evil times. The tribune of the people has come to honour. He is a Minister of the Crown, a guest of the Sovereign, and a statesman girt around with all the dignity and pomp of official life. The demo- crat is landed in Downing-strect, and his friends of the mob know him no more. But how fares it with those who cheered him on in his career of turbulent agitation ? The Reform League is ex- tinct, BEALES is still placeless and untestimo- nialed, and FINLEN, shaking off the dust from his feet against an ingrate country, quits our shores for America. Mr. BRIGHT is a Cabinet Minister, but the men who ranted, vituperated, and demons- trated in his interest have sunk into an un- honoured oblivion. The stonemasons, the carpen- ters, the glass-blowers, and the French polishers who were wont to receive the pay of the League may even be reduced to the degrading necessity of earning their bread by the sweat of their brows. The darling of Hyde-park and Clerken- well platforms, who has carried with him the approving cheers of London ruffians while he denounced" our bloodthirsty aristocracy," may now find himself compelled to get an honest living by the labour of his hands. Such is the reward which democracy metes out to its dema- .'o.'iies. The case of BEALES, M.A., is one of exceptional hardship. The PREMIER and his colleague at the Board of Trade arc manifestly much beholden to the noble BEALES. It was in their interest that lie led the roughs of London to the gates of Hyde-park, and held those nightly ineetingh! in Trafalgar-square, which rallied all the forceH ot wdition and blackguardism 1.1". nine of Wll.I.lAM EWAItT GLADSTONE. lie not, ntily laboured but. HiitVerod iu their service. He Miiei illei-il hili pnietioe, mill wnfl deprived of his appointment wi a iwiuiug barriukl'. Tho won hc has served are now in power, and the good things of patronage are at their disposal. How comes it that BEALES is overlooked, and that he has not ere this found his way into a county court judge- ship or some similar snug berth ? The secretary of the BEALES Testimonial Fund dolefully con- fesses his inability to explain this deplorable obliviousness. BRIGHT and GLADSTONE are in power, yet BEALES is still without place or pay. And the Fund—there is another melancholy episode. It was to be a ten thousand pounds fund, symbolising in the amplitude and rotundity of the sum the admiration and gratitude of the whole na- tion. But somehow suhscriptions don't come in, and Mr. HOWELL does not even care to state the dis- gusting total of the sum in his hands. What Democrat, too, can read without a glow of manly shame and indignation of the treatment meted out to the heroic FINLENP This man sacrificed not only himself, but even his family, for the advancement of the cause. He might have earned wages sufficient for their and his own support as a French polisher, but his lofty sense of patriotic duty impelled him to leave his children starving in a garret, and haunt the taverns and platforms where the cause of BRIGHT and GLADSTONE could most usefully be advocated. It is forgotten how on a hundred stumps he denounced the Tories and the aristocracy, and how he made even Downing- street itself echo back his noble eloquence as he declaimed in Mr. WALPOLE'S audience chamber P He could see his children starve, but he could not hold himself back from the mission to which he had dedicated himself, the preaching of that gospel which proclaims, as its initial article of faith, the extermination of a brutal nobility. For him, too, there is no place, no sinecure. No one would have been cruel enough to ask FINLEN to work for public pay; but surely some quiet De- puty-Chaffwaxsliip might have been found for him. What, however, is the real state of the case? Not only does he find himself ne- cessitated to leave his native country for a land where his peculiar gifts will stand a better chance of being appreciated, but he is com- pelled to ask from public charity the means of getting there. This noble creature has actually to resort to the form of appeal known as a friendly lead to raise his passage money, and associated with him in the entertainment given for this endjwc find, not the foremost lights of the Radical party for whom he ranted and cursed, but a pause of tenth-rate music-hall singers and acrobats, headed by the Chick-a-Boo-Chum Brothers. This is sad. FINLEN should have gone from us amid the sympathetic wailings of his brother patriots. As it is, his parting words are drowned in the choruses of serio-comic minstrelsy and the clatter of break downs." One word more. Although FINLEN refuses to stay amongst us any longer, he is not a hard- hearted man, and he might seek to alleviate the pangs which his departure must arouse by leaving us his children as memorials of himself. Perhaps the parochial authorities of Mr. FiNLEN's district will give their attention to this little matter. But neither BEALES, nor FINLEN, nor the Leaguers generally need be comfortless. It seems probable, judging from his infamous speech in Trafalgar-square last Monday, that their place will be well supplied by Mr. GEORGE MOORE, the member for county Mayo. Mr. MOORE is a most respectable gentleman, a valued ally of the Roman Catholic hierarchy in Ireland, and an able and vigorous, though temperate, speaker in the House of Commons. Having said thus much, we desire to express once again our full conviction that his speech on Monday was one of the most atrociously sedi- tious utterances ever heard in this country for years past. We say nothing of the honourable member's calumnies in regard to the English Go. vernment. The man who says of England that her sceptre has been the sword, and her throne the scaffold, and of her Government that it has always been the most barbarous and sanguinary of any upon the face of the earth, is simply an impudent fool. He is impudent in making an as. sertion which is notoriously the exact antithesis of the truth. He is a fool for expecting to be believed when he insults common sense with such a perversion of the most obvious facts. But we do not quarrel with Mr. MOORE for being libellous, untruthful, or stupid. We complain of him for justifying treason and proclaiming that conspiracy and re- bellion, in the case of Ireland, are only censur- able when they fail of success. This is an offence of which the authorities are bound to take cognizance. We are perfectly certain that they will do nothing of the kind, and that if pleasant, venerable-looking Mr. MOORE chooses to talk treason by the hour in the public streets of Lon. don every month for twelve months to come, he will do so without let or hindrance from the present Government. Mr. GLADSTONE cannot afford to lay a finger upon the confidante of Cardinal CULLEN. Nevertheless, we hold that the matter ought not to be allowed to pass over ,?tb sileittio. Mr. MOORE is worth making an example of. He is a member of Parliament, and a foremost man in the political world of Ireland. When such a man preaches sedition in open day, he ilings down a challenge which a self- respecting Government is bound to accept. He defies authority to bring him to book. But at present we are blessed with a Government which has not the courage to make itself respected, and consequently Mr. MOORE may talk sedition as freely as he pleases. Otherwise, instead of in- clining the Government to liberate the Fenian prisoners, he would find himself swelling their company. To speak frankly, we hold that there is now in her MAJESTY'S gaols many a Fenian convict serving his sentence whose treason has been less insolent and inveterate than that of the member for Mayo.

THE MYSTERIOUS DISAPPEARANCE OF I THE LORD JUSTICE CLERK PATTON, I We announced yesterday, by a telegram from Edinburgh, the mysterious disappearance of the Lord Justice Clerk of Scotland, which toot place on Monday morning, and who has not up to the latest hour been heard of whether dead or alive. We take the following details as to the circum- stances attending his disappearance from the Edinburgh and Glasgow papers:- In the course of Tuesday", rum our got afloat in Edin- burgh to the fiIed that Lord Justice Clerk Patton lia-I iin- accountably disappeared from his country house at Glenal- inond. The report spread with the proverbial rapidity of bad netvs, and numerous inquiries were made at his lord- ship's town residence, where, however, no information, confirmatory or otherwise, had been received. It appears that his lordship, who, on Thursday last presided at the Ayr Circuit, returned to Edinburgh on Friday afternoon, and on Saturday, accompanied by Mrs. Patton, he left for Glenalmond, to all appearance in excellent health and spirits. According to the Circuit Court arrangements, his lordship was to have been in the Dumfries Court on Tues- day, but we learn that, tho calendar being a very light one, an understanding was come to before he went north that Lord Jerviswoode should take the whole of the business. From correspondents at Cried'and Perth, we learn that his lordship left his house in Glenalmond about eight o'clock on Monday morning, for the purpose of taking his usual short walk before breakfast. As he did not retarn;n time for morning prayers lIfrs, Patton became alarmed, and a search was forthwith mlltle along the banks of the Almond, in the river itself, and in the surrounding grounds. The news quickly spread through the district, and the inha- bitants'turned oufct-u masse to render what assistance they could. Messengers were despatched in all directions to search and make inquiry, and the people dividing them- selves into squads carefully examined the woods and the river, which was considerably swollen in consequence of the recent rains. The search was continued throughout the day. and in the evening an apparatus was obtained from Perth for the purpose of dragging the river bed. Tuesday morning the anxiety and suspense became intense, and the search was renewed by increasing numbers of men, until up>var4s of 200 v.-crc engaged in the work. The Almond had been greatly flooded on Monday morning by the heavy rain i of Sunday, and in these circumstances it was no easy matter to drag it properly in its turbulent and discoloured state. It is also proper to mention the fact that in the neighbourhood of Lord Glenalmond's house the river flows through a channel bound by precipices on both sides, where falls, deep pools, and rapid currents ahound, ali(I where dragging is simply impossible during the prevalence of n heavy flood. All this was known to the men in search of the mis-ing judge, and as the stream had fallen con- siderably during the previous night, the dragging was resumed on Tuesday morning under more fa,onrable conditions, and with greatly increased numbers. Ev(?ry available means within the reach of the people was adopted every pool was thoroughly searched for a distance of several miles, and the woods, fields, and hills were scoured over and over but nil was in vain. Lord Glenalmond had disappeared, and even his dead body could not be found. It is scarcely necessary to say that such a painful 111111 mysterious occurrence created extraordinary excitement in the district, where the learned judge was so well known and deservedly respectetlltllll esteemed. This excitement soon spread through Perth, Crieff, and the adjacent towns anti villages, and the most sanguine were beginning to lose hope of seeing the Lord Justice Clerk again in life. It was generally supposed that his lordship had shaped his course by the river side when he went out for his walk OH Monday morning; that lie had been seized with a sudden illness, and had fallen into the swollen stream over the rocks, amil had been drowned. If this supposition be correct, the body may be carried down the river for several miles, or even into the Tay, and may not be re- covered for some time to come. The Lord Justice Clerk was to have presided at the Jed- burgh Circuit Court yesterday, but arrangements have been made for another judge to take his place. m'O/adfllb;hs reJ'rd Justice Clerk', I elder brother, Mr. Thomas Patton of Glenalmond, died suddenly while out shooting a few weeks ago. In conse- quence of that melancholy event the ancestral estate of Glenalmond devolved upon his lordship, in addition to the Cairnics, which he previously held. Up to last night no tidings had been received of the Lord Justice Clerk. A correspondent at Bri<lgwater, says:— The intelligence which reached here of the disappearance anil supposed death of Mr. Patton caused a general feeling of profound regret, for although his connection with the borough was a very brief one, he had gained the esteem of leading men of both parties. The unfounded report of his death which was circulated two or three weeks ago led people to receive tbt intelligence with suspicion, and the t:i:ihclijifej;all:; tlë¡'¡\Iot I an intimate friend of Mr. Patton's, for authentic informa- tion in regard to it. At the rising of the Court the Chief Commissioner announced that a reply had been received, and that there was every reason to fear that the unfortu- nate gentleman had been drowned. Mr, Patton had been subpoenaed to attend the court and give evidence in refer- ence to the two contests he fought in I860. At both those elections considerable sums of money were spent in his behalf, but his friends say that he knew nothing whatever of this until after it had been done."

THE INSURRECTION IN CUBA. The following telegrams are taken from the ím York Hcrnhl of the Ilth ."t. Washington, Sept. 10.—Letters from Cuba, via Key West, received yesterday, give the following account of the battle near Las Tuuas'On the 16th nit. a: reconnoitring party was sent out by General Quesada, numbering 300 men. On the afternoon of the same day this force was attacked by largely superior numbers, but succeeded, with a loss of 55 in killed, wounded, and missing, in regaining the main body. The commanding General immediately epai-c,d for an attack, which was not made until the 13th. I);he%i¡ [I:!lt{t3 G\ mV:et!:a3: ported as approaching with a large force of cavalry, artillery, and infantry, and preparations were immediately made to receive him. Shortly after sunrise the Spanish forccs made their appearance, and immediately commenc?l the fight with Artillery. The artillery made but little impression on :the Cuban army, when the inf:i?t?y were brought up, and a ch"rgo upo? the Cuban position was ordered. The Cubans reserved their fire until the Spaniards came within range, when the order to fire was given, and it was so effective that the Spanish line was thrown into dis- order, and compelled to fall back under protection of the artillery. After some three hours the attack was renewed by Valmaseda's entire force, numbering, as was reported. by deserters, over 4,000 effective men, more than one-nan regular troops. The Cuban force was about 6,000. of whom 4,000 were ?ll armed. The contest la,t,d fie h.ur., ?h,. Valmnscda was forced to give way and fall back on his for- tifications at Las Tunas. The loss of the Cubans was in killed 72, among them several officers, whose names are not given; wounded severely, 107; slightly wounded, 150; missing, 47; while that of the Spaniards is reported in killed and wounded as over 600. Two hundred of their dead and wounded were left on the field. There were nearly 400 doserters and 270 prisoners captured. The deserters report that General Valmaseda had all his available force in this engagement, and had :!2 pieces of artillery of the most approved character, six of which were 24-pounder rifled Parrot guns, with two regiments of cavalry and six brigades of infantry. The Cubans had only 13 pieces of artillery, of small calibre, with no effectively equipped cavalry. The result of this battle, which has been the first of importance siucetheeommence- ment of the revolution, causes great rejoicing in the Cuban army and among those on the island who sympathise with their movement.' A letter from Havannah states that the Government exercises the most rigid surveillance over the telegraph and mails, so that nothing h permitted to be sent by lele=aph giving accounts of military operations ex- i rPt':I:ft\uldl\o;torY :ii,t; despatch passes through the hands of a Spanish official. The same lettcr says The C:lptaín-Gencml is in constant dread of the Volunteers, and fears they ? .d drive him out and seize the government and declare the if land independent of Spain. General Lesca, who has been here for some time, is known to be in tho interest of the Volunteers. The out- rages increase fearfully, and are of a character too revolting to be believed.' Havannah, court martial is now in session in this city engaged in trying Colonel Udalta, who was Lieutenant-Governor at the beginning of the rebellion. La Fressa thinks the best plan is to say less rc u-uiiig the sailing of contraband steamers from northern ports, but to catch them off the coast of Cuba."

O'Dowd, who conducted the case for the Board of Trade, stated that the Merchant's Trading Company, who owned the teamer, were amongst the first to claim an inquiry. Mr. O-Dowd described the investigation as an exceedingly important one, and urged upon the court the necessity of finding out how so large a body of watcr as to cause a vessel, before in good trim, to founder in W mimtes, could have found its way into the ship's hold. The qucst-.on of overloading, he said, was also important. The proceedings are viewed with great interest in Liver- pool.

BISHOP MAGEE ON CHURCH AXD STATE. At the re-opening of the church at fcouth Kilworth, Leicestershire, after a thorough restoration, the Bishop of Peterborough was present. At the usual luncheon the Bishop expressed his views respecting Church and Strite. He said he hoped that many years would elapse erc m-r-n would forget, or find it practically impossible, to join the Queen and the Church in one toast. When they joined them together they expreseeti a great and vit il truth us to the happiness of any country. The Queen in ;'<'1' relation to the Church represented and stood for the laity of the entire kingdom. The happy union of Church and State had been tho real str..nrth ef this country for years past, and he trusted that ther; would always be this union of religion and poli'i- The false notion that the State as a State had nothing to do with religion, the clergy must continue to protc-.t against, for the words "Church and Queen" truly represents 1devo- tion to the Church and loyalty to the Sove;\ inn. Church and State never so truly fulfilled their 1::«1" -t Innetions or Irtitlised their true ideal as when init-'d together. Their union was a blessing, and their separation would be an evil.
