MAJEsrr and the other members of the Royal Family are enjoying the quiet seclusion of domestic hap- piness at Windsor Castle, amidst the endearments of the gamily circle. Tuesday last being the birth-day of the PRINCESS ROYAL, the anniversary was celebrated with the customary, though unostentatious, rejoicings befitting the occasion. At an early hoar in the morning, the band AND CHESTS of the Royal Horse Guards played appropriate music under f the private apartments. The church bells rang merry peals at intervals from early dawn throughout the day ; at noon a royal salute was fired ; and in the evening several of the tradespeople illuminated their louses in honour of the event. Among the Royal guests st the Castle is a young Indian PRINCESS OF CoonG, the windows minds an agony of suspense more harrowing than even the dread reality of evil can inflict. On Wednesday morning, official despatches were received at the War Office from the COMMANDER-IN-CHIEF, and along with these arrived numerous graphic accounts, drawn up by eye-witnesses, which fully unveil the hideous and sickening details of a struggle, unsurpassed in sanguinary attributes by any recorded in the annals of human strife. The narrative of this terrible yet glorious battle, and its immediate as well as remote consequences, is given with cool and lucid vigour in the manly and terse despatch of Lord RAGLAN ; coolly, calmly as the tale is there told, it is one of a battle- field as bloody—of a conflict as desperate—of a victory as signal, yet as dearly bought—of a triumph of intrepid and self-sustaining valour, over stubborn and unyielding ani- mal courage, as glorious as any which has yet been graven on the tablets of fame. The historian who in after• times recounts the story of the battle of Inkerman, will require no military science to elucidate his narrative. Stern and terrible as were the incidents, and prodigious as were the acts of valour which crowned the issue of that named GAITRoMA, who has been sent to England by her father to be educated in the Christian faith. On Tuesday Asbe walked about the grounds of the Castle in company with HER MAJESTIC and the Royal children. She is, as storm of war, its history embraces few facts connected with war as an art. It was less a battle than a succession of battles, in which each regiment and almost every company of English had its army of Russians to repel and conquer. For a space of time almost incredible, five hundred of the Coldstream Guards kept at bay and finally repulsed more than seven thousand antagonists who fought with the energy of desperation and the fury of demons. Every ravine and every hollow—each hill-side, and every rugged pass was the theatre of a separate and sanguinary conflict in which the combants encountered hand to hand in mortal strife. So close in most instances were the combats, that the men having fired once had neither time nor space to reload, but defended themselves and assailed the enemy with the bayonet or with their musket-buts as clubs. While this death-conflict was going on, so impenetrable were the mist and darkness of the morning, that no officer, even if manoeuvring, could have been made available, could see whence the hostile hordes were issuing against him, or discover to what point the countless battalions of the enemy might be directed. If ever an occasion offered which could fully justify the poet's figurative admiration of chivalrous individual heroism, it was here under the circumstances might be expected, an object of saner solicitude and interest to the QUEER and the Royal household. While enjoying the blessings of domestic security and peace, the chief members of the Royal Family are not forgetful of the hardships of those who are at such peril, and in the face of such privation, upholding the national honour in the entrenchments before S( astopol nor negligent in supplying such means for their comfort as rests within the reach of individual power. At his own cost, Prince ALBERT has ordered a warm fur coat to be furnished to each officer in the Crimea, or about to proceed thither, some of those about to depart having already received the acceptable gift. Another indication of the Royal attention to the gallantry of our martial achieve- ments in the Crimea is to be found in the promotion of Lord RAGLAN to the rank of Field-Marshal, which was formally announced in the Gazette of Tuesday last. Of the appropriate grace of such an act, at such a time, there van be but one opinion. His Lordship's qualifications as military leader are too well known to require confirma- tion, and of too high an order to receive additional lustre from even such a recognition ; still it is gratifying to witness the honour of our valiant army acknowledged in a befitting compliment to its commander. Descended from a long lineage, noble, if not even princely, in its origin, Lord RAGLAN, through his less remote ancestry, has peculiar claims upon the country of his nativity, and on the Crown by which its institutions are swayed and protected. Sprung from that SOMERSET who, in early life, commanded a little army raised by his father in defence of CIIA.RLES 1., and who afterwards became famous as the first employer of steam power to mechanical operations, Lord RAGLAN possesses at once the prestige of hereditary martial skill and such reflected advantages "Groom fought like noble, squire like knight, As fearlessly—and well !" In these frightfnl contests, he who commanded counted for no more than he who served ; and to take one, though not a solitary instance : before the 55th retreated from the two-gun battery, which formed an important point in the English position, it was taken and retaken no less than five times, having been assailed by Russians who out- numbered its defenders by fifty to one. In one spot, and within five minutes of each other, five English generals fell, three of them, alas ! never to rise. In his despatch, Lord RAGLAN estimates that the Russians had in the field at least sixty thousand men ; the Russian accounts make their numbers about fifty thousand, and to withstand this mighty host, he could only oppose eight thousand English and two thousand French, yet with this handful of men he maintained himself against the repeated and desperate attacks of the enemy, en that terrible Sunday, from five as can be derived from the inheritance of scientific fame ; to Mese adventitious claims upon regard, he adds the yet more important challenge to our admiration, which is to be found in assiduous industry, directed by profound natural sagacity, counselled by professional wisdom, and aided by extensive military experience. Trained almost from boyhood under the personal tuition of the immortal WELLINGTON", he received his initiatory lessons in the practical application of military science at the celebrated Tines of Torres Vedras, and, ere he had completed his twenty-second year, he had won his first chaplet of laurel on the plains of Talavera ; at Busaco he was severely wounded, and after participating in every one of the great battles of the Peninsula, he completed the wreath sacred to ho. honour and victory, and perpetuated its verdure, by sharing in the sufferings and the glories of Waterloo. In 1845 his eldest son perished in the battle of Ferozeshah ; and now, in the sixty-seventh year of his age, the intrepid and dauntless warrior is carrying into effect the military maxims of his great instructor, in firm alliance with those valiant heroes, in opposition to whose fathers he first unsheathed his virgin sword. To promote such a man is scarcely so much to confer an honour as to receive it ; if, however, the act can bestow lustre or receive grace, it will do both by the spontaniety of the compliment, and the ready hail of acquiescence which greets it from every rank and grade of his admiring countrymen. The date spf this commission is appropriately fixed from the sth of the present month, the date of the last known victory achieved by the Allied arms. The date of the last known victory achieved by the Allied arms ! How singularly memorable is the ex- To how many a sonless, husbandless, family-circle has that fatal though tri- aression fatherless Towful in the morning till eleven. About this period the arrival of four thousand additional French troops turned the tide of battle, and although the conflict was prolonged till half-past two, its issue was never afterwards doubtful, and shortly after their arrival, the Russians began slowly to retire, yet resolutely contesting every inch of ground, fighting as they gave way, and yielding only to that superiority of moral over physical bravery, which, when displayed as on the present occasion, constitutes the very sublimity of human power and daring. Sixty thousand were here encountered, withstood, repulsed by fourteen thousand men ! The assailants leaving upon the field in killed, wounded, and prisoners, a thousand more than had sufficed to check and drive them back. A more signal illustration of the allied prowess over their barbarous opponents never can or will be given ; yet, proud as is the testimony thus borne to our superiority, it has been dearly, much too dearly purchased. In killed, wounded, and missing, the British have to deplore a loss of two thousand six hundred and twelve of our gallant country- men; and our noble-hearted allies havE to mourn a diminution in their numbers to the extent of one thousand seven hundred and twenty six ; both branches of the allied army having suffered severely in the loss of officers, of whom an unusually large number have been victims. iamphant day given poignant cause for s remembrance t. The greatest of modern military authori- ties declared, in bitter anguish of heart, that the next greatest calamity to a battle lost, is a victory gained. How truly has this seeming paradox been realised upon the heights of Inkerman Many days ago, the telegraph, outstripping the winged velocity of evil tidings, brought us Ismailiar with the fact that a great and sanguinary conflict IlL,'ll been waged, and a dearly-won victory added to our az°ll of heroic deeds ; but, as if in kindly preparation for the direful tale, the catalogue of horrors was but dimly shadowed in the mournful array of perished numbers, having the contest between hope and fear to create in many Although:the battle of Inkermann is flattering to our arms, and bears promise of future and ultimate success, it is nevertheless one of those events which suggests reflection on the past and deliberate consideration of the future, even more powerfully than partial adversity could have done. The attack made upon our position by such a force, clearly indicates the inadequacy of our prepara- tions for an enterprise of such magnitude as the reduction of Sebastor implying as that necessarily does the entire subjugation of the Crimea. It farther proves the bane- fulness of those counsels which, by deferring our first operations, allowed time for the CZAR to direct special attention to the strengthening of Sebastopol; and without doubt so Cronstadt. The bottle of Inkermann and its concomitants does more than all this ; it demonstrates, beyond the reach of cavil, that prior to sitting down be- fore Sebastopol provision ought to have been made for so occupying the Rr.ssians in the vacated provinces of the

Bohn This beautiful, comprehensive, cheap, and ele- gantly illustrated edition of Cowper, by Southey, is drawing to a conclusion, the volume before us being the sixth, and two others being now all that are wanted to complete the series. The present volume contains " The Task," with a copious in- dex ; the poetical epistles, and a large collection of in addition to these it likewise em- futhor, 3r poe braces the translation, jointly made by Cowper and his friend and biograiher Hayley, Of " Adam : a sacred drama," by Gio. Battista Andreini, from which not a few of the literary cognoscenti insist that Milton borrowed extensively in his composition of Paradise Lost. Viewed in connexion with this disputed subject, the translation assumes an in- terekt not its own, and must be looked on as a valuable literary curiosity. The pictorial illustra- tions to the present volume are eight in number, and are all landscapes, with the exception of a scene from " John Gilpin," from the pencil of W. Harvey. The illustrations are cleverly en- , graved ; and by their number, as well as by the delicacy and beauty of their execution, they greatly enhance the value of the work, notwithstanding which it is published at an exceedingly cheap rate. IThe Dublin University Magazine. Dublin: James 111`C4lashan. The November number of this magazine is an exceedingly good one, being filled with contribu- tions of more than common interest. It opens with an elaborate and carefully-prepared paper on the " Expedition to the Crimea," in which that topic, so fertile in themes of present speculation E. V. and discussion, is ably handled. The portion published is only the first part of the paper, and ilack River." the battle commencinc, with the matters preliminary to the landing of the Allied Armies in that peninsula, it finishes with the victory at Alma, in which the 30KS, difficulties encountered and overcome by the gal- lantry and conduct of the French and British Wife.

In fine conception, delicate yet flp truthful portraiture, graceful drawing, and forcible relief from tan ic sds out in prominent and flattering the vulgar, though aristocratic, herd by which he was surrounded, fawned on, hated, yet full-toned colouring, none of the "Great Magi- dreaded, and ultimately spurned and treated with clan's" successors have outstripped the beautifully- contumely.

Wilson's than ordinarily valuable number of one of our efforts in prose fiction, confined almost exclusively highest-class periodicals. to the display of tenderness and simple virtue, as -- these qualities were exhibited among the unsophis- ticated sons and daughters of his native glens and by many looked on as too representation to do 0) their author's powers, or to entitle him to a place in the foremost rank of those master- minds who inculcate great truths and convey im- ,mai and religious axioms through the teachings of fiction. Besides the writers named, many others have, with a greater or less degree of success, endeavoured to make men better, wiser, happier, by exhibiting virtue in its native loveli- ness, and contrasting ' -4th the harsh repulsive- ness of vice. Amor al dirge o are as Sunday Month On the Tchernaya, called REVIEWS OF BOOKS Jleartseas ; or, the Bros,._ author of " The Heir of Redclytle, W. Parker and Son. Decimal C 2inag By Theodore W. Rathbone London Ridgway mountains, have bean limited in their sphet justic( We have, on more than one occasion, expreved our opinion that any system of decimal coinage is not only impracticable, but of very little value. In the work before us, Mr. Theodore Rathbone has displayed great ability and research, and given, in as clear and intelligible a form as the subject is capable of, a comparative statement of the different plans of decimal accounts and coinage which have been proposed by the witnesses examined before the Committee of the House of Commons, and others ; together with a Compendium of various statements on the subject. Those, therefore, who take an interest in the question, have here an op- portunity of acquiring a knowledge of all that has been, or perhaps can be, said upon it, without the fatiguing labour of wading through a Blue-book. The number of plans which have been proposed is, in itself, an evidence of the difficulties with which the subject is surrounded ; but we are free to con- fess that, if anything could reconcile us to an al- teration, it would be the plan which Mr. Rathbone himself suggests. He proposes to retain the present pound as the standard of value, and also the penny, but to substitute silver pieces of five-pence and ten-pence for the six-pence and shilling, with which they might for a time circulate simulta- , taneously. The great point, however, is to make out a case of necessity for the change. This has )not been done, and we adhere to the opinion, that the only good to be effected is a slight saving of labour in keeping accounts, while the evils would be manifold in a general confusion of all the minor monetary transactions throughout the country. To those, however, who still entertain a feeling in favour of a decimal system as a substitute for our present pounds, shillings, and pence, we cordially recommend Mr. Rathbone's book, as one of the best and most comprehensive which has yet ap- peared on the subject. We may remark that, at the bottom of the title-page, is the very appropriate affix :—" Price Tenpence." portant 11 , within a comparatively ..nt period, the reading public had its interest stirred rather than gratified by the appearance of an unobtrusive tale in one of the numerous raj- publications of the day, entitled " Henrietta's in which the chords of the heart were so ugly yet unassumingly touched as to indicate its author's competency to strike a bolder'note, and fling the profusion of his richly-toned harmonies over a wider circle of admirers. This was accomplished in the " Heir of Redclyffe " which immediately sprung into a deserved extent of popularity and well- rooted favour - and to the interesting tale before us that popularity and favour are sure to be extended. The story of " Heartsease" is simple, and the incidents in the hands of most writers would have remained common-place ; but touched by the life-giving wand of genius, without losing their simplicity and naturalness, they are invested with an interest which arrests, secures, and repays g thes( attention The Illustrated London Magazine Piper & Co. London In this age of cheap literature,the above magazine may fairly challenge rivalry both for quantity and quality, and no doubt commands, as it deserves, a very large share of public patronage. Its list of contributors includes names well known to fame, such as the Hon. Mrs. Norton, Fanny Fern, Lady Emmeline Stuart Wortley, Horace Mayhew, Mayne Reid, and others. Above forty quarto pages, pro- fusely illustrated with well-executed wood en- gravings, and published at sixpence, should prove a sufficient temptation, and place any idea of com- petition out of the question.

Lord Cardigan pointed out to his superior officer the immense difficulty of charging a battery, flanked by another, into a sort of a cul de sac, with the hills lined with rifles and guns.; but, receiving the positive order to charge, at it he and his splendid brigade went, and as they approached within a few hundred yards of the big battery a shell burst close to him, and struck Captain Nolan in the chest, which caused the poor fellow to scream awfully, and his horse turned and galloped to the rear, when his gallant but impetuous rider was found lying dead. The Light Brigade still kept sweeping on till they were right iii front of them, when a 32-pounder went off within two feet of Lord Cardigan's horse, quite lifting him off the ground, but he got in among them, and was, where he always will be when it comes to the point, in the first rank. It seems they rode right throught the guns and turned, after kill- ing the men who were serving them. His lordship's extra aide de camp, it is • supposed, was wounded and tali-en prisoner, for be has not since been heard of. Mr. Womb- well, of the 17th Lancers, had a most extraordinary escape, showing a monstrous deal of pluck. His horse was—it is said two were—shot under him, and he was taken prisoner, but while being marched off he saw an opportunity, mounted a Russian's horse, and galloped back, rejoining some of his brigade who had reformed, and charging again without sword or pistol. Mr. Cook, of the llth, also had a regular run for his life of a mile and a half, pursued by the Russian cavalry, to avoid whom he ran under range of the guns of one of their batteries, and finally escaped. Major Clarke, of the Greys, in addition to a bad cut in the neck, had his horse's tail almost cut off by a sabre cut; • and the gallant Adjutant Miller, an unusually poWerful man, did extraordinary execution when he got to close quarters with them. Lord Cardigan was attacked by two Cossacks, who with their lances gave him several pricks, • and rather staggered him in his saddle ; but his lordship being well mounted, and a good cross-country rider, and, ' moreover, as cool as brave men ever are in real danger, parried their thrusts, and escaped with the aforesaid lance-. pricks in his leg. PERILS OF THE BALTIC.—Of all seas the Baltic is one of the most dangerous to shipping and harrassing to crews. Sudden and frequent changes of the wind, shallow waters off shore, innumerable shoals and insulated rocks, with currents divided by these obstacles, branching off in different directions to be re-divided by the same cause, till, meeting from opposite. quarters, the waters are em- broiled in the hurly-burly of a sturdy conflict ; there are almost constant sources of anxiety to the mariner, for the navigation is most beset with such impediments precisely in those parts which are eminently the highways of com- merce. Hence the proportion of maritime casualties is much greater in the case of vessels sailing to the Baltic • ports than in the instance of merchantmen passing be- tween Great Britain and America. In the month of May, when the navigation opens in the Gulf of Finland, flags are planted, by order of the Russian government, at the extremities of most of the shoals, which are red when placed on the north side of the channel, white when they are to be left on the south, and half red half white when they may be passed on either side. The hydrographical officers of the Czar have not performed this duty, for obvious reasons, in the present season. Nowhere have the waves the magnitude and grandeur which belongs to those of the ocean ; but they are not less furious, and far more difficult to manage, breaking abruptly, owing to the inconsiderable depths, and succeeding each other with , greater rapidity. The long-rolling billows common to the Atlantic are seldom seen, even in the more open parts of the sea; but sandbanks soon terminate their unbroken sweep ; when, rent into a 'thousand atagonist columns, the fragments of the shattered wave are thrown together in unimaginable confusion. A " chopping sea," or one without any definite right-onward movement, but tossing up and down, to and fro, hither and thither— a chopping performed in a most vigourous style—is eminently cha- racteristic of the waters.—The Baltic, its Gales, Shores, and Cities. ---- - MILITARY TECRNOLOGY.—SOMe of our readers may perhaps find to their convenience the following explana- tions of French Locutions :—" Hors de combat"—literally out of combat—is a very comprehensive phrase, extending to all the men disabled in a fight from continuing to take part in it, by being either killed, wounded, or made pri- soners. The metre is a lineal French measure, equal to the forty-millioneth 'part of the earth's circumference. Its

JACOB' TOWNSEND'S AMERI- CAN SARSAPARILLA.—This is one of the most ex- traordinary and valuable Medicines in the world. Its supe- riority over other preparations of like character, made in this country, arises from the mode of manufacture, and the ad- vantage of obtaining and working the root in its green and fresh state. The root, when brought to this country, is dry, vapid, and almost tasteless, its virtues and juices having all evaporated ; while it often becomes mouldy, musty, and partially decayed, so that it is quite unfit for use. ENGLISH TESTIMONY We give a few of the many communications we have re•. ceived since we have been in England, from those who have experienced the great benefits of using this celebrated medi- cine. They must have some weight in convincing the public of its great value. 49, Davies-street, Berkeley-square, Sept. 1. 1851. Gentlemen,—l have much pleasure in testifying to the numerous thanks I have received from various persons who have taken Old Dr. Jacob Townsend's Sarsaparilla, many of whom will be happy to give you testimonials should you re- quire them. I am doubly pleased to be able to speak to the good effects I have seen nose?' produced by the Sarsaparilla; for I must confess that, although I was not prejudicial, I was rather sceptical as to its virtues, which I would not have believed it possessed, had I not seen it.—l am, gentlemen, your obedient servant, JOHN JA MIESON.

Cathcart, of Brigadier Goldie, and of General Strang- ,...y, along with eleven other officers, were buried near the windmill. The dreary work of burying the dead, and removing the wounded from the field, occupied the day. The Russians, who, is is said, lost 10,000 men, remained quiet. The Russian army, it appears, had arrived at Balaclava on the morning of the 3rd, and a council of war was im- mediately held, at which it was determined to make a feint attack on the rear of our defences, and a real attack on the right of our position on the sth. The army accord- ingly took up its place on the 4th, and attacked on the sth. The officers who are prisoners say that they had very little difficulty in getting the guns up the hill, which we considered inaccesible. Thirteen heavy pieces of field artillery were got up, and it is principally to their destruc- tive fire nown on our lines that our terrible losses are to attributed. The Russians, in all, had about 60 and 70 guns in action. Generals Osten-Sacken and Liprandi conducted the assault. The latter was slightly wounded. The prisoners, one and all, deny that they were drunk, or had any spirits before commencing the attack ; small 'quantities of a spirit like brandy were found in the can- teens of some of the men, but this they account for by saying that every thirtieth man has one of these flasks for the wounded. I most certainly saw no signs of intoxica- tion, or even " primieg," on any of them. They lost nearly 10,000 men on their march round from Odessa, from sickness and fatigue. Their sufferings they describe as terrible. Neither the Grand Duke Constantantine nor Prince Alexander was actually present on the field. They remained all day on thc slope of the heights on the north Side of the harbour, beyond Inkermann. By the order of the Grand Duke, no less than five distinct divtsions were sent up to try and maintain the footing which they had got on the heights of our camp above Inkermann, As each division failed to effect their object for more than a few minutes, the Grand Duke assailed the commanders With the most opprobrious terms, reproaching them as cowards and traitors to their ceuntry, and compelling them to return to the attack. The Morning Herald correspondent, writing .Bth instant, says: It has been decided that the place is not to be stormed for the present. We are said to be waiting forntrong reinforcements. To-day, a flag of truce was sent into Sebastopol. The bearer of it carried a letter from the allied commanders to the commander-in-chief of j the Russian forces. It stated that General Canrobert L and Lord Raglan had seen with detestation and disgust the merciless cruelty with which the enemy bayonetted our wounded upon the field, and requested to know if the war was to be carried on in this barbarous and extermi- ; mating manner, as then the allies would now how to act.

It has, hitherto, 6een the custom to summon a Privy Council to nominate the sheriffs, and to summon the judges to attend that council in a position of inferiority. It seems, however, by the statute of Richard 11., under which this council meets, it is not a Privy Council at all, but a special council of `experts' (far more ancient than the Privy Council itself), which exists for the purpose of nominating sheriffs, and is composed of certain high officers and of the judges, all hav- ing equal votes, and being presided over by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and, in his absence, by the Chief Baron. Such councils of experts, for various departments of administration, were usual in the middle ages, anterior to the existence of the Privy Council. That for nominating sheriffs, being under statute, has alone survived to our day. A LIONESS of the Botanical Garden, Grenoble, known by the name of Miss Sarah, contrived, one day last week, to escape from her cage. The weather was cold and dark, and there were very few persons in the garden, all of whom took to flight the moment the lioness appeared. She first proceeded to the enclosure of the stag, who com- menced butting at her through the paling with his antlers ; she then approached the monkeys' cage, all of whom testi- fied the greatest alarm; and, afterwardi, the cage of the eagle, who seemed in extraordinary fury at the sight of her. All at once, she perceived, at a distance, the conser- vator of the Museum, and ran rapidly towards him, but, on drawing near, she recognised him, and began to caress him and lick his hand. He profited by her affection to- wards him to lead her to the side of her young ones, and, with the aid of the keeper, he soon replaced Miss Sarah in her cage. elected in his plac granted.

STEAM TO IRELAND.—In a bill which the Chester and Holyhead Railway Company is about to bring before Par- liament, power is proposed to be taken, authorising the London and North-Western, or the Chester and Holyhead, or both Companies, to purchase or hire steam and other vessels for the purpose of a through-traffic between this country and Ireland; and it is also proposed to enable either or both companies to provide additional accommo- dation for the expected traffic at the harbour of Kings- town, and at the quays of the river Liffey, by the purchase or lease of lands, and the erection of buildings and other CORN PROSPECTS OF THE COMING YEAR.--AS some alarm has been caused by the large rise in the price of wheat in the last month, it may be satisfactory to show that this rise may be accounted for by the extra demand for seed in the market at this season of the year coming suddenly ; and in addition to the usual consumption for food; the latter having wholly to be taken out of the produce of this year —unaided, as it has usually been, by a large stock of old wheat remaining in the country ; and that as this extra demand on the new stock subsides, we are likely to have the markets fully supplied, and to feel the benefit of the late abundant harvest. In addition to the ordinaxy consumption of wheat, for food, in the months of October and November, and which is supposed in Britain to amount to a million and a half quarters a month, there are required in these two months about a million and a half quarters for seed —so that the con- sumption for this period is increased about 50 per cent. But the extra demand at this season has hitherto had little or no effect on the markets, because we have always had large stocks of old wheat in the country, in addition to the growth of the last year—and the consumption for food between Michaelmas and Christmas has principally been taken out of the old stock ; but, this year, owing to the close working up of all old stocks by both millers and bakers, and the absence of any foreign Supplies coming in, or remaining over in granary, the whole consumption has fallen on the new growth, and the farmers having had little inducement in the price, immediately after harvest, to thrash out their new growth faster than usual, the markets have been without the additional supply which the deficiency of old stocks has called for. But as soon as this extra demand has been supplied, I feel confident, from the very large crop grown this year, of all grain, that the markets will be abundantly supplied, and we shall have less occasion for a foreign supply than we have felt for some years past. From a very careful observation of the crops of corn, both in England. and the north of France, I am convinced the growth, this year, is the largest and finest I have known in the last twenty years, and is at least a fifth more than an average, and probably nearly double the growth of 1853 ; and if this be so, notwithstanding the absence of old stock to lessen the consumption of new at this season, we shall find the country, at Christmas, with as much, if not more, than our usual stock of home-grown corn, and the pre- sent high prices will be but temporary—and I am aided in coming to this conclusios by my knowledge that whilst the produce of potatoes is considerably greater, this year, than it has been of late years, at the same time, there has been far less of disease in them ; and whilst the consump- tion of wheat, of late years, has been largely increased by the failure of this root, this year the reverse is likely to be the case.— HEWITT DAVIS. LOINS TO FOREIGN STATES.—A Parliamentary paper has just been issued by the Treasury, giving an account of all sums of money paid or advanced by way of loan, subsidy, or otherwise, to any foreign state, from the year, 1792 to the close of 1853.

The first advance to 'Ru.4sia was in 1799, and the last recorded was in 1816. A MODERN ROMANCE.—On Monday, last week, the Lord Chancellor delivered judgment in the case of Thorn- hill v. Thornhill, relative to the attempted abduction of a ward in chancery, by a brother of the Countess of Ferrers. A Miss Thornhill, 16 years of age, is a ward of chancery, and is possessed of a large fortune. Her guardian is a Mrs. Hungerford, who resides in Northamptonshire. Some time last year, guardian and ward went on a visit to Earl Ferrers' residence. They met there a Mr. Chichester, a brother of the Countess of Ferrers. This gentleman is a member of the noble Irish family of Donegal, but is very poor and embarrassed. He seems to have sought the heiress, and the countess, his sister, was earnest in his suit. His object becoming known to the guardian, all communication was forbidden between countess, suitor, and ward. Nevertheless, Mr. Chichester did not give up the suit, but followed the heiress to the country, and sought to make her elope with him. To induce the young lady, whom he was in the habit of seeing each night at the window, he gave her letters of Lady Ferrers to him, wishing him success, and stating that, even with an elopement, she would be happy to receive her as a sister. This clandestine affair becoming known to Mrs. Hunger- ford, an attachment was sought for against the Countess of Ferrers and Mr. Chichester for inducing a ward of chancery to elope. The judgment was, that a sufficient case was made out against the lady, of whom the Lord Chancellor, notwithstanding, spoke with great severity, but the gentleman was committed for contempt. The young lady gave up some letters in the case, which, how- ever, only showed that Lady Ferrers was anxious that her brother should have the heiress. The following extract from the judgment of the Lord Chancellor explains the means taken by the fortune-hunter and his sister, to gain the affections of the young heiress —"On: the morning of their (Mr. and Mrs. Hungerford and Miss Thornhill's) arrival at Ascot, Mrs. •Hungerford discovered, what asto- nished her, some fragments of a letter, which turned out, or which was suspected at that time, I believe, to be from Lady Ferrers, that had crossbars in different ink, of a different writing, and being a different matter that was written. ft turned out to be written with lemon juice, which, it seems, when held to the fire, comes out in the form of a pale red writing; and Mrs. Hungerford disco- vered what led her to believe that, whoever was writing these letters was writing an apparently open correspond- ence in black ink, and a concealed correspondence in this different ink or lemon juice, the clandestine writing being more or less an encouragement on the part of Lady Fer- rers to the young lady to give countenance to the suit of Mr. Chichester, Lady Ferrers' brother. Exactly what it was we do not know, but that that was the substance of it is manifest. Lady Ferrers had desired that she might be at liberty to send to the, young lady a little basket in re- turn for the purse. That was very natural, and Mrs. Hungerford did not object to that ; but she said it would be better it should come through her, and that she would. present it in Lady Ferrers' name. She did so, and that seemed all right.; but, to the disgrace of Lady Ferrers— and I cannot attempt to qualify the expression, for it was most disgraceful, and it must for ever lower- her in the society of her equals—in that basket was concealed in the lining a letter written, not on paper, which would have made a crackling noise, and have excited attention, but written on linen—a secret encouragement to the ward— against the consent, or without the consent of her guar- dian, to give countenance to the suit of her brother, whom she admits, and whom all admit, to be a man of deep embarrassment. Mr. Chichester, being rejected on the part of the guardian as an unfit suitor for the young lady, was forbidden to visit her at but the course he took was this : Mr. and Mrs. Hungerford, and the young lady, lived at Dingley-park, in Northamptonshire, which is only a mile nr twn frnm the fnwn of Market, Harborough. It r.

I went without hesita- tion to support and defend so noble a cause, and I offered in the most solemn manner to use all my efforts in order that the national will should be accomplished. The Queen then appointed me President of the Council of Ministers, and I accepted that charge with the firm resolution of giving it up as soon as the Constituent Cortes should be assemled. This was one of the principal demands which I made to the Queen, and which her Majesty admitted without repugnance. The Constituent Cortes are now assembled, and the ministry over which I have the honour to preside is about to tender its resignation, in order to leave to her Majesty full liberty of choosing her responsible advisers, conformablyto parliamentary usages. Gentlemen, I avail myself of this opportunity to here declare, in the sanctuary of the laws, before God and before men, that I have no kind of ambition ; that the only thing which forms the object of my wishes is to live as a simple citizen in obedience to the laws." This declaration was received with shouts of applause. Ausrme..—The New Prussian Gazette of the 21st announces that the Austrian Cabinet has just sent a note to the Western Powers, in which Austria points out to the latter, as members of the Conference of Vienna, the character and result of the negotiations recently opened between the different States of the Germanic Confede- ration on the subject of the Eastern question. Austria also gives explanations as to her particular p6sition. She announces that she will respect the obligations contracted by her on the signing of the protocol of April last, and that she will regulate in accordance with it her conduct as regards the Diet, and the several members of the Ger- manic Confederation. The Austrian note dwells besides on the liberty which Austria reserves to herself of even- tually assuming the offensive, and on the right she pos- sesses of judging the conditions of peace in her own point of view, and in an independent way, and not of binding herself by declarations such as, for instance, a promise to content herself with the four points of guarantee. conveniences. CHESTER AND HOLYHEAD RAILWAY.—The traffic for the week ending 19th November,.lBsl, was as follows : Passengers, parcels, &c., £2,282 Bs. 9d.; steam-boats, £348 3s. 2d.: total, £2,630 lls. 11d.

The Marquis and Marchioness o Westminster have been entertaining a numerous circle o relatives and friends at Eaton. Among the visitors were the Duke and Duchess of Northumberland, Lord and Lady Wenlock, Lord and Lady Leigh, Sir Frankland Lewis, Bart., Lord Stanley of Alderley, Mr. Tattoo and Lady Charlotte Egerton, Mr. and Mrs. Randle Wilbraham and others. Sir Michael and Lady Octavia Stewart are at present on a visit to their noble relatives. MYSTERIOUS DISCOVERY.—On Wednesday, last week, as a man in the employ of Mrs. Thomas, of Gwersyllt, near Wrexham, was working in a field near Rhosrobin, cleaning out a ditch, he found a coffin plate, having on it the following inscription : —" Deborah Grosvenor, Obiit Aprs. 10, 1771, Etat 33." A day or two afterwards he found two more, and a number of coffin handles, together with a variety of ornaments The following are the in- scriptions on the plates found the second time : " Eleanor, Marchioness of Westminster, born 10th July, 1770, died 29th Nov., 1846." " Elizabeth Grosvenor, died Bth Dec. 1805, aged 67 years." There is no doubt the above formed part of the booty stolen from Eccleston church a few years ago, which the thieves, finding to con- sist only of brass, instead of some more precious metal, had deposited in the ditch. ACCIDENT BY EXPLOSION.—On Thursday forenoon, a serious accident occurred at the new graving docks, near Woodside Ferry, to two men, named Samuel Parry and Robert Owen. The injured men were labourers, and were employed in blasting some rock. From some cause the powder did not take fire, and they went to examine the charge: At that moment an explosion took place which resulted in their being very severely burnt about the face and head, besides sustaining other injuries. They were promptly removed to the hospital in Hamilton-street, where every attention was paid to them, and hopes are entertained that they will recover. EXCISE PROSECUTIONS AGAINST OMNIBUS DRIVERS. —At the Birkenhead police-court, on Friday, Oswald ',Speakman, William H. Whittington, and John Barton, omnibus drivers, in the employ of Messrs. Bath and Co., were brought up, at the instance of Mr. A. David, of the inland revenue, at Liverpool, for running to Hoylake races on Wednesday without a license. It appears that the officers of excise were over to Birkenhead, and placed some of their assistants on the omnibuses. On arriving at Birkenhead on Thursday eve- ning, the prisoners were taken into custody, and lodged in bridewell, the omnibus and eight horses beine, seized at the same time, and placed in custody at the stables of the Birkenhead Hotel. The prisoners Speakman and Whittington were fined £2 10s, each, and on Barton a fine of £5 was imposed, it having been proved that he had made two journeys. AN Imrosron.—A man who gave the name of Alexander Hannah, was charged, at the Birkenhead police-court, on Friday, with having written a letter in the name of the Rev. A. Knox, the incumbent of St. Mary's, Birkenhead, by means of which he attempted to obtain money from Miss Bradley, of Rose-brae, Monk's Ferry. On Thursday morn- ing, the prisoner went to the house of Miss Bradley, and presented a letter, purporting to be written by Mr. Knox, and in which the rev. gentleman was made to say that he recognised the prisoner as being a person who was in great distress, and deserving of relief, and that he (Mr. Knox) would take it as a personal favour if she would contribute towards his relief. On the letter being pre- sented to her, Miss Bradley doubted its authenticity ; and on showing it to Mr. Knox, he at once stated that it was a forgery.—The prisoner was committed for two months. WIRRAL UNION.—At a recent meeting of the board of guardians for the hundred of Wirral, for the purpose of assisting the patriotic movement, it was resolved —" That there be a local committee in each poor-law union, and that it consist of the magistrates resident in the union, the clergy and ministers of religion of all denominations, the guardians of the poor of every township in the union, and the local military staff officers, to report to the central committee." It was also resolved—" That the Wirral union be divided into seven districts, the districts to 'be co-extensive with the present medical districts, namely, Birkenhead, Claughton, Bebington, Eastham, Neston, Upton, and Wallasey ; and that the magistrates, the clergy, and other ministers of religion resident in each district, be invited to co-operate with the guardians for the township comprising the district in raising funds, or otherwise aiding the general committee of 'the union, and that each district committee report to the general com- mittee of the union, at Clatterbridge, on the 29th of 'November." VV Cincessu.—Russian accounts from the Caucasus de- clare that a great victory has been gained oven.Schamyl, on the southern slope of Mount Katchkalyk. The greater number of the mountaineers inhabiting Karassou are said to have perished, while the Russians had only one officer (the old story), and 12 men killed, and 55 wounded. This was on the sth of October. Ten days later the Circassians were again defeated, says the account, and this time they lost 1,000 men, the Russians having 15 killed and 35 wounded. NEW ZEALAND. Canterbury affords an additional proof of the difficulty of non-resident legislation, even when accompanied by the best intentions. Hardly is this province disencumbered of its parent association, than it progresses with extraordinary energy. No less than £25,000 is voted for the immediate completion of the road from Lyttelton to Christchurch, whilst a railroad is seriously contemplated at a cost of £155,000. A large sum, too, is proposed for educational purposes, and seem- ingly not before it is wanted, as it would appear that not more than two-thirds of the population can read and write—a proportion greatly below that of the Maori tribes, who are almost invariably educated in reading and writ- ing. In other respects Canterbury makes a good show, with its 7,000 acres of fenced land, its 100,000 sheep, 6,000 cattle, and 600 horses. And all this has been done in four years. As at Nelson, there exists some unpleasant feeling upon the subject of the Church property.

The AN [boas, &c., FOR REVIEW, may be left at M Red Lion-court, Fleet-street, London, ad, Editor of the LIVERPOOL STANDARD,' eive att tibtrpoot -ztanbarbf TUESDAY MORNING, NOV. 28, 1854 LIVERPOOL IMPROVEMENTS. THE first step has been taken for carrying into of the improvements in the town of Liverpool which have been previously discussed in the Council, notice having been given of the inten- tion to apply to Parliament for the requisite legislative authority. The improvements contem- effect some plated comprise the opening of a new street, described in the notice as commencing on the south side of Robert-street North (Great Howard- street), and terminating on the north side of Moor- street (near Fenwick-street). This has long been wanted, as much inconvenience is occasioned by the great amount of traffic in this locality, owing to the passage of loaded vehicles to and from the docks, and the number of warehouses in the neighbourhood. Another improvement proposed is in the vicinity of the new Wapping Dock, by the opening of a new street, to commence on the south side of Sparling-street, and to terminate on the north side of Glover-street, so as to effect a better communication between the southern docks and the neighbourhood of Toxteth-park. A third proposition is for the improvement of Shaw's- brow and the end of Byrom- street, so as to enable the Corporation to carry out the plan for the erec- tion of a Free Library and Museum, towards the cost of which the munificent sum of £6,000 was given by WILLIAM BROWN, Esq., M.P., and £lO,OOO was subsequently voted by the Council. This will not only provide an eligible site for the Library, but give great facilities for traffic, now so much inconvenienced, while it will remove the present grievous eye-sore of dilapidated buildings, so strongly in contrast with the magnificent structure of St. George's Hall. Another 'part of the proposed Bill is to confer additional powers on the Corporation, for the making of bye-laws to regulate the landing and embarking of passengers and goods, and porters, boatmen, and vehicles plying for hire. As steps are being taken at the same time by other bodies to contest the right of Liverpool to the continued enjoyment of the Town Dues, this movement on the part of the Corporation will show that they are determined to deserve the administration of this important fund, by devoting it to purposes of public benefit, particularly with reference to con- venience of traffic, in which all who contribute towards the fund have a direct advantage. So clear a title to the Town Dues, as Liverpool pos- sesses, could hardly be questioned on any other ground than the disposal of it for public purposes ; and even this point must be conceded, when the interests of the mercantile community, receive so large a share of attention. The Dock Trustees have also given notice of their intention to apply for legislative authority to carry out the great scheme for dock extension at the north end. It is admitted that timely pro- vision should be made to accommodate the fast- increasing cojnmerce of the port ; but there is much difference of opinion whether the wisest course is to incur so large an outlay in a locality which is exposed so directly to gales from the channel, affording thereby less protection to vessels. A part of the scheme is to effect a communication with the Leeds and Liverpool Canal, which will no doubt prove a great advantage to traffic, and re- lieve the more crowded thoroughfares of the town. What is most wanted, however, is a better means of approach to the Landing-stage at George's Pier, and the new one about to be constructed for the use of passengers by sea-going steamers at Prince's Wharf. This is imperatively needed, and will be rendered still more so when the new one shall be brought into operation. The question has already undergone considerable discussion, and has met with general favour by the inhabitants of both sides of the Mersey.

Taylor, opening the proceedings, said they an important work ; they were embarked —in an anti-Russian war, and in an anti- he would endeavour to show them some lance between them. The Czar of Russia ie called a Protectorate over the Greek in a double War Papal war, and Arbich term (Protectorate) he meant an abso- tyranny. Millions of the members of the _ _ were subjects of the Sultan of Turkey, and, following the explanation given by Lord Palmerston, he Id say that, the Protectorate admitted, it would pro- led allegiance. The Greek Christians would be is of the Sultan, but their allegiance Churd lice a tt nominally would be to Russia ; and to such a system the Sultan lot accede. He resisted the demands of Russia, pealed to the British people, who at once pro- __d for the independence of Turkey against Russia, and the war was pronounced by the British people. He feared, however, that it had not been conducted with sufficient means. The government had forgotten the advice of the Duke of Wellington, that there should never be a little war, and had not sent out in full time those reinforcements which now, by popular demand, they were compelled to do. (Loud cheers.) He did not know whether it suites his ;ion or his character, but he could not conceal his -nation that our gallant soldiers should be left in _icient numbers to stand the shock of so many thousands, in the trenches by night and in the battle-field y day. (Cheers.) Hewor' now come to the other part. The Pope of Rome claimed complete jurisdiction over all the members of the Latin Church. Millions of these were subjects of Queen 'Victoria, and they acknowledged but a a. allegiance, for their spiritual obedience was owing where. It was the assertion of the claims of Rome to spiritual dictation against which our Queen had sworn in her Coronation Oath, which constituted the Papal aggres- The people had spoken out ; it was the duty of the to act; but some of the Ministers were men of ~e, and, like their hesitation about Russia, they had refused to act against Papal aggression. It was the cause I the people, however ; it was the cause of truth and the people had had their eyes opened ; they were every day becoming more Protestant—(hear, hear) —and they would demand, in a voice of thunder—No peace with "Rome. (Loud cheers.) He advised them not to be deceived by the cry that there was no use in petitioning-: there was use—it strengthened the bands of their representatives, and he advised them to continue to exercise their right of petitioning. There was the send- ing of Romanist chaplains to the army, which Parliament had refused to sanction, but which the executive had done without the sanction of the legislature. Parliament would be called together in a few days, and he hoped some member would ask the question, why Romish chaplains . . . . sion. 'J Minister had been sent, for they should look with suspicion upon its being established as a precedent. The time was ap- proaching for their proceeding to business, and among their petitions was one respecting education in Ireland, against grants to—alas, that he should havelo call it—the Royal College of Maynooth. The Chairman then read an extract from a Spanish paper, describing the Spanish contingent for the'war, the contributions consisting of a miscellaneous collection of secular and ecclesiastical pro- perty. He would not, however, detain them, as several gentlemen were there who would mace and second the 1 resolutions. (The Chairman sat down amidst loud ;beers.) The Rev. V. M. WHITE moved the first 'resolution, and in doing so said ii had been objected to the society that it had a political object under a religious disguise. He did not believe that the objectors believed in their own ob- jection, and therefore he would not waste their time to refute it. It might be asked, and the question was of importance, whether a knowledge of the Bible was neces- sary to understand the religion of the Bible. Would any one in any business entrust his affairs to a man utterly ignorant of them ; and how then could they teach the re- liAon of the Bible without they taught the Bible itself ? They had been asked, why they did not preach the Gospel He did not know what was preaching the Gospel, unless it was preaching the whole Word, for a man might as well paint a man's nose and call it a portrait of him as for a man to preach the Gospel without giving the Bible—the whole Bible (cheers). They had been asked why did they indulge in controversy ; but he would say r controversy there must be so long as the Bible was denied to hungry souls and the Bread of Life withheld from those who were fainting by the way. Those who were opposed to them talked of charity ; but where was the charity when the country was against the 'Reform Bill? Where was the charity when the country demanded waragainst the despot of the north ? And where is the charity of the party to whom they are directly opposed ?—of the priests, who wring from their poor dupes the hard earnings of their labour, and who bend their souls to a despotism far more grinding in its tyranny, far more accursed in its effects, than that of Nicholas, and one which was more soul- destroying' than any system with which the -earth had ever been cursed, or human souls lured to destruction. It had been objected to their society that it consisted of working-men—they were working-men ; but they were those who valued their own souls, who had done their work well, and now had grown so numerous that they required a new lecture-room in order to hold their numbers. - T. B. HORSFALL, Esq., MP., on rising to second the resolution, was received with laud and vociferous cheering. He said that, had it been other than a meeting of the working men of Liverpool, and for another object than the Protestant Reformation, he should not have been there, as he laboured under a severe cold. We lived in stirring times, and few questions were of more importance than that upon which they were assembled. Remarks had been made about political and religious questions, but it was impossible to treat of opposition to Rome without going into a political subject. He then referred to the question of Nunneries, which was brought before the House of Commons last Session. It might be asked, was it not carried when there was a majority in its favour.? It was virtually defeated by interminable discussions, which were wasting the time of the House, and the mover withdrew it, to bring it forward again another Session in a shape which be trusted would render it successful in spite of any opposition that might be brought against it. Another question before the House was the payment of Romanist chaplains on which the ministers were defeated. Lord Palmerston had said that he was as good a Pro- testant as Mr. Spooner, but he (Mr. Horsfall) had told him that without pretending to decide, he saw Lord Palmerston recommending thm to pay for the teaching of what he knew to be wrong, whilst Mr. Spooner refused to pay for teaching more than what he believed to be right. There was the Jews Bill, which was rejected, he believed, because many were of opinion that it would streegthen the hands of the Romanists, and he would tell them that he believed there was a strong and increasing Protestant feeling in the House of Commons. The ques- tion to be brought before Parliamont next session was the grant to Maonooth College. The Ministers who carried it had been told that it would prove.: thorn in the side of the CrOvernment, and they ought to join with vigorous determination to extract this thorn. Before sitting down, they must not be surprised if he Troposed Lord John Russell as a member of their society—aye, even their pre- sident, for he could prove, by his celebrated letter to the Bishop of Durham, that he was as zealous a Protestant as any of them. Mr. Horsfall then read an extract from the letter, and, amidst much laughter, said if Lord Bohn Russell would prove his words, he should be most happy to propose'him as one of their society. :Before admitting him to this'honour, however, he would 'like his lordship to go a little further. The people would not be satisfied by a mere admiration and reverence for the Protestant insti- tutions of the country ; and be trusted that they would likewise show something more than mere contempt for the doctrines and superstitions of Rome. 'Let the people of Liverpool, and of the country, pour in petitions to Par- liament, and in-these petitions plainly express'their wishes, and, by so doing, they would get rid of Maynooth and the other grievances of which they complained. (Mr. Hors- fall down amidst'loud and long•continued cheering.) The resolution was carried with acclamation. The Choir then -sung " And the glory of the Lord shall be revealed," by Handel, during which a collection, was made. The Rev. W. F. TAYLOR, on rising to propose the second resolution, was received with enthusiastic applause, the Kentish fire, and 'loud cheers. On these subsiding, the reverend gentleman proceeded to move the second resolution, which in general terms may be represented as pledging the meeting to a.conviction that the principles of Romanism are antagonist to religious truth and the free- dom of thought--is at variance with civil liberty, and that it is, consequently, the duty of every rightly consti- tuted Christian to oppose those principles, and to do the best that is in their power to disseminate among Romanists a knowledge of that Scriptural truth which will indeed make them free. He remarked that the resolution set out by declaring that the principles of Romanism are opposed to civilization, because civilization is based on intellectual culture, which the Church of Rome in every age has determinedly opposed. Wherever she had had the power or the opportunity, she had put her chains around the intellect, and used her most strenuous en- deavours to nullify every principle of scriptural Christian faith, and substitute for them a counterfeit Christianity, by her priests. Well knowing that every exercise of intellect is a step fatal to her teaching and de- structive of her influence, she had, by the guises of her institutions, as well as by her law and enactments, lent all her efforts to crush it. Inquiry of every kind had been restrained and circumscribed ; and by the tenth rule of her directory no book is allowed to be printed, to be lent, or to be read until it has been first examined by the bishop of the diocese, or by the inquisitor of Heretical doctrines. How was it that she was thus careful to stifle inquiry ? And why was she so fearful of her children acquiring knowledge ? It was because she knew well that information would be fatal to her power. Protestants, instead of feeling such a dread of knowledge, court inquiry, and urge upon their people the necessity of carefully examining the Scriptures for themselves, and solicit them to use their knowledge of the Scriptures as a rule for their guidance in all things. The resolution declared that Romanism was opposed to social progress; and in illustration he remarked that the WWII, Qf christiaulty fully Ws out the

MUSIC AND TBE DRAMA AT THE THEATRE ROYAL, the grand opera, after dragging on a tedious, lifeless, and profitless existence, for some time, came to a premature and untimely end last week, since which time the house has been closed. Ma. Is A Ac's CONCERT.—Our talented townsman, Mr. B. R. Isaac, will give a classical concert to-morrow even- ing, in Hime's Music-hall, Bold-street,on which occasion he will be assisted by Madame Rudersdorff, and Herr Molique and Signor Piatti. He will further have the aid of Mr. H. V. Lewis. The programme includes selections from the compositions of Mozart, Beethoven, Spohr, &c., &c. Ma. HENRY RUSSELL'S CONCERT.—From an adver- tisement, it will be seen that this popular vocalist is to give a series of entertainments in the Concert-hall, Lord Nelson-street, commencing on Monday evening next. His programme is, as usual, attractive, and he will no doubt be welcomed by numerous auditories. AT THE ROYAL AMPHITUEITRE, the house, during the past week, has been nightly crowded, chiefly attracted by the fascinations of Senora Perea Nena and the celebrated troupe of Spanish dancers. The performances of these artistes, particularly those of the Senora, are characterised by great spirit and agility, some delicacy, and no small amount of graceful action. Their style is lively and striking, and affords much gratification to the multitudes who assemble to enjoy it. Besides the attractions offered by the Spanish corps de ballet, the members of the regular company have also been performing favourite dramas, with the usual talent and success. PHILHARMONIC SOCIETY—ORATORIO OF THE " MES- sixu."—On Tuesday evening, Handel's sublime oratorio, the " Messiah," was given in the Philharmonic-hall, in a style of completeness, beauty, and grandeur, seldom wit- nessed in the provinces. The chief vocalists were Madame Clara Novello, and Mesdames Enderssohn and Lockey ; together with Messrs. Sims Reeves, Lockey, and Henry Phillips, aided by the full band and chorus of the society, numbering fully 250 executants. The performance was open to the public at the usual rates of admission ; and owing, no doubt, to the inclemency of the night, the hall was not so well filled as the attractions offered would have fully warranted expectation of ; nevertheless, it was well attended by a highly-intelligent and fashionable audience, who, by their judiciously-timed plaudits, testified their approbation more energetically than was quite consistent with the sacred nature of the entertainment. The ora- torio has been so frequently performed, and so lately, in Liverpool, by nearly the same artistes, that minute criti- cism on its qualities, or on the style in which it was executed, is superfluous. The ladies, generally, acquitted themselves in admirable style ; Madame Novello, as usual, gave her recitatives with touching eloquence, and sang the airs incidental to her portion of the oratorio with much grace and beauty. In the charming recitative and air, " He was cut off," Mrs. Enderssohn displayed the fine feel- ing and artistic taste for which her style of vocalisation, in the higher departments of classic music, is so pre- eminently distinguished. Her rendering of the expres- sive music " How beautiful," was likewise delightful. In the hands of Mrs. Lockey, the wonderfully pathetic and exquisitely charming air, "He was despised," was indeed a gem of musical tenderness and beauty : she also did very great, if not full justice, to the mellifluous beauties of "He shall feed his flock." Mr. Sims Reeves was, as usual, sweet, tasteful, and expressive in his singing, although, to some extent, defective in his articulation; still, he dis- played the compass and quality of his fine voice with great and telling effect. In giving the air " 0 death, where is thy sting ?" Mr. Lockey was chaste, powerful, and artistic, and in general executed the music allotted him with distinguished ability. Our old favourite, Phillips, was in excellent trim, and delivered his portion admirably. The steady and self-possessed execution of the music by this artistic veteran was charming. The choruses, on the ! whole, went well, and indicated care as well as culture. The instrumental portion of the orator'o was also excellent, and the performance, as a whole, constituted a treat of the highest order. gismimMllNM...llll.l=l THE GREAT COMET.—The very splendid and remark- able comet observed in the years 104, 802, du, 975_ again in 1.264, and in 1556, was announced for re-appear- ance in 1848; but it has hitne.io failed to appear. We are now informed that a celebrated and accuratecomputer, il. Bomme, of Middleburgh, has ,Tone over all the,pre- ' vious calculations, and made a newest.‘mate of the separate and combined action of all the planets von this comet, of three hundred years ; and the result of this severe labouri gives the arrival of this rare and reno wiled visitor in; August 1858, with an uncertainty of two 'ears, :more or , therefore, we may hope to. less.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE Eibtrpoot tanbarb. SECOND EDITION. ---.... STANDARD-OFFICE, Nov. 28, Two o'cLocx, P.M. LIVERPOOL CORN MARKET.—THIS DAY. The close of the past week, though showing some decline in the British markets generally, was upon the whole more steady than previously; the position of prices Is continually influenced by the amount of supply, as it may, for the moment, exceed or fall short of the tem- porary wants of consumers, who, in the face of the high existing rates, systematically pursue their usual practice of hand-to-mouth operations ; the fluctuation of prices, through the winter, will therefore depend on the dis- position of farmers to supply the market, and on the extent to which we may be assisted by imports from abroad ; as neither America, the Baltic, nor the large wheat growing countries of the east of Europe, manifest the ability to do anything material towards this provision before the spring and summer of next year, we Faust necessarily remain chiefly dependent upon our own Inherent resot to think that farmers will deliver fre'' r slightly higher prices ; 'is ending sth instant, as urns up 1,368,429 qrs., of 1853, shows only e foreign imports for '9 quarters wheat ; their sup] taken fro while thi 1,071,985 the same arces we incline at the present 2 Gazelle 1,147,511 ewts Wheat, and & to come we m; to ls. 13d rates yes There !mmptiv in price; Oatmeal literally U3Y EL LOND ,nly, 364,821 quarters id for several months ill greater dispropor- t and Flair since th.

The oPeningof the transfer of the dividends is January 17th. the Times says, the replacement of the Regiments of the Line on Mediterranean service is not the only object of the early meeting of Parliament. Government most want money. We must have either increased war taxes, or, for example, a ten per cent income-tax, or loan. This sudden meeting of Parliament points to the latter expedient, and the public are probably quite pre- pared for an addition of five or even ten millions to the funded debt. tus of a new loan of payable within forty Light out.

The total number of vessels of war and transports wrecked amounted to about 25, besides which, some vessels of war were observed to have suffered severe damage. The siege works were suspended, and the bombardment, which had been gradually slackening, had almost entirely ceased on the 18th ' —The Chronicle says, the CONSTANTINOPLE, 18TH.

The storm did not extend beyond the KIERENEFF, 23ED.—The ing the Dniester line, near Mohilot PI Black Sea ris are strongly fortify- JASSY, 28TH.-40,600 Turks are concentrating near Roman-Austria and Prussia. As these Governments bring forward a resolution on Thursday, at the General Diet, for the adoption of the treaty of' April entire, a large and favourable majority is counted upon. The Post states, in a leader, its belief that, at the time at which it writes, or within forty-eight hours. a step will be taken by Austria which will have a most potent influence on the fate of the war, by uniting, in action, her flag with that of England and France, and swelling the alliance against Russia. Until the deed is signed -until the fact is accomplished—we cannot, however, be perfectly sure. Austria, at the last moment, may retreat. It is Possible, but most improbable. If the Cabinet of Vienna were now to refuse to join us, none could mistake its complicity with Russia; and the attitude of the cabinets of London and Paris towards Austria would be imme- diately and totally changed ; but if faith can be placed in professions, we may rely that that is now being done in Vienna which will give us a new and welcome ally. FRANCE.—Three thousand volunteers from the camps for the Crimea, leave for Marseilles on the 30th.
