She cities perpetrated by the mutineers exceed any with mutineers. On the 12th an encounter took So little reliance was placed upon the most favored place at Futtehpore, midway between Allahabad native regiments, that the Governor-General's bodyand Cawnpore, in which the insurgents were rout-guard had been deprived of their arms. The atroed, and fled toward Cawnpore. Two days later another engagement took place, with a similar result. On the 10th General Havelock came up with the whole force of the enemy, under the immediate command of Nena Sahib. They numbered 13,000 men, and were strongly posted, while the Europeans counted only about one-tenth as many. Nena Sahib was defeated, with immense loss, and on the 17th Havelock marched into Cawnpore, which the enemy had abandoned after blowing up the magazine. A pitiable spectacle met his eye. In a stone courtyard clotted with two inches of blood lay the clothing of the women and children who had been massacred the day before by the fugitives from the battle. The naked bodies of 130 women and children were found in a well, into which they had been thrown. Three women only escaped. Nena Sahib took refuge in his fort of Bithoor, but fled upon the approach of the English, leaving behind him 13 guns. General Havelock, having received some reinforcements, pushed on toward Lucknow, the capital of the newly-annexed kingdom of Oude, in order to relieve the garrison who had been for some time closely invested. When within a single day's march from that place, the cholera broke out with such violence in his army that he was compelled to abandon his object and fall back upon Cawnpore. Delhi still remains in possession of the mutineers. The besieging forces are hardly able to hold their position against the furious sorties made from the city. In fact they are at present quite as much the besieged as the besiegers. Although successful in every actual engagement, they are so greatly outnumbered that their losses, though far less than those of the enemy, tell severely against them. It now seems probable that the capture of Delhi must be deferred until the arrival of reinforcements from England. At Dinapore, on the Ganges, three native regiments, who had done good service against the mutineers, and were therefore still trusted with arms, suddenly revolted, murdering their commanding officers. A detachment of 300 European troops sent against them fell into an ambush, and were forced to retreat, having lost two-thirds of their whole number. A general feeling of apprehension prevailed even in Calcutta, where the Grand Jury had petitioned the Governor-General urging the disarming of the native population before the approaching Mohammedan festival, when the passions of the fanatical Moslem are wrought up to the high-man-of-war, and it is received as an act expressive est pitch. The Governor, in reply, said that he should watch the dépôts for the sale of arms, and post throughout the city strong detachments of soldiers from the newly-arrived European regiments. The Chinese War is virtually suspended. Lord Elgin, the British Plenipotentiary had reached Hong Kong, where he announced to the residents the course which was to be pursued. The Emperor must either disavow the acts of Governor Yeh, or suffer the consequences. The troops which were to enforce his representations having been detained in India, Lord Elgin himself took his departure for Calcutta. The United States sloop of war Portsmouth, visited Siam for the purpose of exchanging ratifications of the treaty lately concluded between that country and the United States. The expedition met with a very favorable reception. Presents of fruit and vegetables were sent on board the steamer, and the officers were treated as guests of the Government, the former palace of the Prime Minister being assigned for their residence while on shore. Just before the Portsmouth sailed, the Second King came down the river from Bangkok to the anchorage, thirty-five miles distant, in order to visit the ship; and was so much gratified with his visit that he repeated it the next day, remaining on board nearly the whole of each day. He was accompanied by his son, Prince George Washington, and by a suite of officers and nobles. This is the first time that a King of Siam has ever visited a of friendship toward the United States. His Majesty was received with the customary salute of twenty-one guns, with manned yards, and with other appropriate demonstrations. Literary Notices. The Hasheesh Eater, being Passages from the Life | point of compact and orderly method in the narraof a Pythagorean. (Published by Harper and Brothers.) The intensely interesting "Confessions of an Opium Eater" appear to have suggested the plan of this remarkable volume.. Unequal to De Quincy in literary culture and in the craft of book-making, the author of this work compares favorably with him in the passion for philosophical reflection, in the frankness of his personal revelations, and in preternatural brilliancy of fancy. In tion of his story he has a decided advantage over De Quincy. The comparative merits of hasheesh and opium as a stimulant to the intellect and the source of wild, imaginative dreams, may be learned from a comparison of the two volumes. But let no one be tempted to verify the accuracy of the representations in either case by personal experience. The use of such drugs of enchantment is one of the most fatal of all diabolic illusions. If any of our readers are ignorant of the deadly herb whose infernal power is here recorded, let them know that hasheesh is the juice of the Indian hemp, the southern branch of the same family which, in northern climes, grows almost totally to fibre, producing materials for mats and cordage. Under a tropical sun the plant loses its fibrous texture, and secretes profusely an opaque and greenish resin. This has been used for ages in the East as a narcotic and stimulant, and at this day forms a habitual indulgence with all classes of society in India, Persia, and Turkey. The effects which it produces, both physical and intellectual, are of the most extraordinary character. The experience of the author in its use is here frankly and fully related, in a narrative which is equally rich in psychological illustration and in imaginative vision. Lectures on Temperance, by ELIPHALET NOTT, D.D. (Published by Sheldon, Blakeman, and Co.) The devotion of the venerable President of Union College to the cause of temperance is a no less striking feature of his career than his exuberant eloquence, his tenacity of purpose, and his wonderful elasticity of intellect. The lectures, which are here published under the auspices of Mr. M'Coy, a well-known leader in the Temperance movement, and with a characteristic introduction by the learned Professor of Greek in Union College, Mr. Tayler Lewis, are admirable specimens of research, vigor of reasoning, vivacity of style, and a candid, catholic spirit. The chart at the close of the volume, exhibiting the Bible texts which allude to wine, is a document of great interest and value. The Life of Handel, by VICTOR SCHOELCHER. (Published by Mason Brothers.) Composed by a distinguished political exile of France, whom the troubles of his country compelled to seek refuge in London, this volume is a genuine labor of love, and bears on every page the enthusiasm in which it had its origin. The author learned to solace his retirement in that city by listening to the oratorios of Handel-he had already been impressed by their sublimity-but a further acquaintance produced fresh admiration—and he at length conceived the wish to possess all the works of the great master to whom he was so deeply indebted. In the accomplishment of this purpose he was led to examine whatever had been written concerning the life of Handel, and his researches finally grew into such magnitude and importance that he decided to embody their results in a volume. The present work is the fruit of that pains-taking diligence. It comprises a great amount of facts and anecdotes relating to Handel with which the public is not familiar, and at the same time throws much light on the musical history of England, especially of the period of the introduction of the Italian Opera. The American edition is arranged somewhat differently from the original, for the sake of avoiding the confusion of method which impairs the London impression. It contains, however, all the matter of Mr. Schoelcher's work, and will be found an instructive and entertaining biography. Poems, by ROSA VERTUER JOHNSON. (Published by Ticknor and Fields.) The chief recommendation of these poems is their smoothness and frequent sweetness of versification, rather than any remarkable boldness or originality of thought. They are evidently the productions of a cultivated and refined mind, liberally endowed with poetical instincts, but with no fervent saliency of imagination. First Book of Chemistry and the Allied Sciences, by JOHN A. PORTER. (Published by A. S. Barnes and Co.) The Professor of Chemistry in Yale College has performed a valuable service to the cause of scientific education in the preparation of this el The Legal Adviser, by EDWIN D. FREEDLEY. (Published by Lippincott and Co.) It is no part of the design of this volume to assist any conceited ignoramus to set up as a lawyer on his own account, and dispense with the services of the regular profession in case of need. On the contrary, it aims at giving intelligent business-men such information in regard to the elementary principles of mercantile law as may guide them in their daily routine, save them the annoyance and expense of litigation, or at least enlighten them as to the prob-ementary treatise. It is founded on a thorough able issue of a proposed lawsuit. Mr. Freedley has discussed several important topics in a lucid and popular manner, illustrating them with a variety of apposite examples and incidents, some of which are of a singularly curious character. The doc trine of agents and administrators, of commission and guarantee, of partnership, of insurance, and of testamentary provisions, receives ample attention in this volume; but a clear explanation of the principles and processes of mortgage and hypothecation would add greatly to its completeness, and to the value of a second edition. practical knowledge of the subject, and displays a skill in brief and lucid exposition that is not common among men most eminent for their scientific attainments. The main topics in the rudiments of chemistry are presented in the natural order of succession, and illustrated by a great variety of well-selected and apposite examples. Agricultural chemistry and geology are briefly treated in separate chapters, forming an appropriate conclusion to the main discussions of the work. Like most judicious manuals for juvenile instruction, this volume may be used to great advantage as an authority for current reference. Life Studies; or, How to Live, by the Rev.

Editor's Cable. THE ENGLISH MIND.-It is hardly necessary | massive, sturdy, practical-organizing its thoughts consistency of muscle and bone-its whole soul is so embodied and embrained, that it imprints on its most colossal mental labors the stern characteristics of sheer physical strength. It not only has fire but fuel enough to feed its fire. Its thoughts are acts, its theories are institutions, its volitions are events. It has no ideas not inherent in its own organization, or which it has not assimilated and absorbed into its own nature by collision or communion with other national minds. It is enriched but never overpowered by thoughts and impulses from abroad, for whatever it receives it forces into harmony with its own broadening processes of interior development. Thus the fiery, quick-witted, willful and unscrupulous Norman encamped in its domains, and being unable to reject him, and its own stubborn vitality refusing to succumb, it slowly and sullenly, through long centuries, absorbed him into itself, and blended fierce Norman pride and swift Norman intelligence with its own solid substance of sense and humor. By the same jealous and resisting but assimilative method, it grad with its jurisprudence, and the spirit of Italian, Spanish, and German thought with its literature, receiving nothing, however, which it did not modify with its own individuality, and scrawling “England, her mark," equally on what it borrowed and what it created. gation of existing individuals, or collection of provinces and colonies, but an organic living body of laws, institutions, manners, and literature, whose present condition is the result of the slow growth of ages, and whose roots stretch far back into the past life of the people. By a national mind we mean the whole moral and mental life of a nation, as embodied in its facts and latent in its sentiments and ideas. This body of mind, the organization of centuries, exercises, in virtue of its mass, a positive attractive force on all individual minds within the sphere of its influence, compelling them to be partakers of the thoughts and passions of the national heart and brain, and receiving in return their contributions of individual thoughts and passions. Now a national mind is great according to the vitality and vigor at the centre of its being, the fidelity with which it resists whatever is foreign to its own nature, and its consequent perseverance in its own inherent laws of development. Tried by these tests, that pyramidal organism, with John Bull at the base and Shakspeare at the apex, which we call the English Mind, is unexcelled, if not un-ually incorporated the principles of Roman law equaled, in modern times for its sturdy force of being, its muscular strength of faculty, the variety of its directing sentiments, and its tough hold upon existence. No other national mind combines such vast and various creativeness, and presents so living a synthesis of seemingly elemental contradictions, which is at the same time marked by such A national mind thus rooted in character, with distinctness of individual features. That imperial an organizing genius directed by homely sentiadjective, English, fits its sedition as well as its ments, and with its sympathies fastened on palpaservility, its radicalism as well as its aristocracy, ble aims and objects, has all the strength which its squalor as well as its splendor, its vice as well comes from ideas invigorated but narrowed by as its virtue, its morality and religion as well as facts. General maxims disturb it not, for it never its politics and government. The unity of its na- acts from reason alone, or passion alone, or underture is never lost in all the prodigious variety of standing alone; but reason, passion, understanding, its manifestation. Prince, peasant, Cavalier, Round- conscience, religious sentiment, are all welded tohead, Whig, Tory, poet, penny-a-liner, philanthro-gether in its thoughts and actions, and pure reason, pist, ruffian-William Wilberforce in Parliament, Richard Turpin on the York road-all agree in being English, all agree in a common contempt, blatant or latent, for every thing not English. Liberty is English, wisdom is English, philosophy is English, religion is English, earth is English, air is English, heaven is English, hell is English. And this imperious dogmatism, too, has none of the uneasy self-distrust which peeps through the vociferous brag of corresponding American phe- Indeed, the English mind believes what it pracnomena; but, expressing its seated faith in egotism's tices, and practices what it believes, and is never most exquisite non sequiturs, it says stoutly, with weakened in its active power by perceiving a law Parson Adams: "A schoolmaster is the greatest of morality or intelligence higher than its own of men, and I am the greatest of schoolmasters;" practical morality and intelligence. It meets all and, moreover, it believes what it says. The qual-emergencies with expedients, and gives to its reaity is not in the tongue but in the character of the nation. This solid self-confidence and pride of nationality, this extraordinary content with the image reflected in the mirror of self-esteem, indicates that the national mind is not tormented by the subtle sting of abstract opinions or the rebuking glance of unrealized ideals, but that its reason and imagination work on the level of its Will. The essential peculiarity, therefore, of the English Mind is its basis in Character, and consequent hold upon facts and disregard of abstractions. Coarse, strong, or pure conscience, or pure passion, it not only neglects but stigmatizes. Its principles are precedents buttressed by prejudices, and these are obstinately asserted from force of character rather than reasoned out by force of intellect. "Taffy,' said swearing Lord Chancellor Thurlow to Lord Kenyon, "you are obstinate, and give no reasons; now Scott is obstinate, too, but he gives reasons-and d-d bad ones they are!" sons the emphasis of its will. Bringing every thing to the test of common-sense and fact, it is blind to the operation of the great laws of rectitude and retribution objective to itself, but trusts that the same practical sagacity and practical energy which have heretofore met real dangers, will meet impending dangers when they become real. It has no forecasting science of right, but when self-preservation depends on its doing right, the most ab stract requirements of justice will be "done into English" in as coarse and as sensible a way as its old hack-writers translated Juvenal and Plutarch. In the mean time it prefers to trust "In the good old plan, That they should take who have the power, glish mind, and even its sensuality is honest and hearty, unsophisticated by that subtle refinement of thinking by which a Frenchman will blandly violate the ten commandments on philosophic principles, and with hardly the disturbance of a single rule of etiquette. In the domestic virtues like family and a home-the Englishman is pre-eminent. The Frenchman is wider and more generous in his generalities, more of an universal philanthropist; but his joy is out of doors, and he would not dine at home for the salvation of mankind. But polit love them; and though the Englishman's theories are narrow, they are facts, while the Frenchman's, if more expansive, are unrealized. The leading defect of English manners, however, is consequent on their chief merit. Being the natural expression of the national mind, all the harshness as well as all the honesty of the people is sincerely expressed in them; and they press especially hard on the poor and the helpless. In the mode of conducting political disputes, in the ferocity and coarseness of political and personal libels, and in the habit of calling unpleasant objects by their most unpleasant names, we perceive the national contempt of all the decent draperies which mental refinement casts over sensual tastes and aggressive passions. The literature of the nation striking That they should keep who can." Indeed, such a complete localization of thought, morality, and religion, was never before witnessed in a civilized nation. It is content with the rela-wise-in those attachments which cluster round a tive and the realized in manners, laws, institutions, literature, and religion; and it disowns the jurisdiction, and sulkily disregards the judgments, of absolute truth and morality. If its imperious and all-grasping tyranny provokes a province into just rebellion, national statesmen send national war-ical liberty is only for those who have homes and riors to put it down, and prayers are offered in national churches for the victory. The history of its Indian empire-an empire built up by the valor and crimes of Clive, and preserved by the serene remorselessness of Hastings's contriving intellect is as interesting as the "Pirate's Own Book," and exhibits the triumph of similar principles; but whatever is done for the national aggrandizement is not only vindicated but baptized; and when Edmund Burke made the most desperate effort in the history of eloquence to induce the highest court of the realm to apply the Higher Law to the enormities of Hastings, he not only failed of success, but the English mind condemns him now for vituperating the character of "an eminent servant of the public." There is no crime in such matters but to fail in crime. We have heard, lately, many edi-ly exhibits this ingrained coarseness at the foundafying and sonorous sentences quoted from English jurists about the law of God overriding the law of man; but it is not remembered that when an English jurist speaks of the law of God, he really means that fraction of it which he thinks has become, or is becoming, the law of England. To make a true Englishman responsible for any maxim which is essentially abstract, inorganic, unprecedented, and foreign to the interior working of the national mind, is to misconceive both his meaning and his nature. No great English humorist-that is, no man who sees through phrases into characters has ever blundered into such a mistake. The true localizing principle is hinted by Goldsmith's braggart theologian: "When I say religion, I of course mean the Christian religion; and when I say Christian religion, I would have you know, Sir, that I mean the Church of England!" tion of its mind, and its greatest poets and novelists are full of it in their delineations of manners and character. Chaucer and Shakspeare humorously represent it; Ben Jonson and Fielding, the two most exclusively English of all England's imaginative writers, are at once its happy expounders and bluff exponents; and Swift, whose large Saxon brain was rendered fouler by misanthropy, absolutely riots in the gutter. This robust manhood, anchored deep in strong sensations and rough passions, gives also a peculiar pugnacity to English manners. No man can rise there who can not stand railing, stand invective, stand ridicule, "stand fight." Force of character bears remorselessly down on every thing and every body that resists it, and no man is safe who can not emphasize the " me. This harshness is a sign of lusty health and vigor, and doubtless educates men by opposition into self-reliance; but woe unto those it crushes! Thus a friend of ours once strayed in the early part of the present century into the Court of King's Bench, where Lord Ellenborough then sat in all the insolence of office, and where Mr. wantoned in all the arrogance of witness-badgering. The first object that arrested his attention was a middle-aged woman, whose plump red face and full form displayed no natural tendency to disorders of the nerves, but who was now very palpably in a violent fit of hysterics. Shocked at this exhibition, he asked a by-stander the cause of her extraordinary emotion. "Oh!" was the indifferent reply, "she is a witness who has just been cross-examined by Mr. Garrow." Now it is evident that a national mind thus proud and practical, thus individual and insular, making, as it does, the senses final, and almost deifying rank and property, would exhibit in its manners and institutions a double aristocracy of blood and capital. Hence results the most hate-Garrow, the great cross-examining advocate, then ful of English characteristics-the disposition, we mean, of each order of English society to play the sycophant to the class above it, and the tyrant to the class below it, though from the inherent vigor and independence of the Englishman's nature his servility is often but the mask of his avarice or hatred. The best representative of this unamiable combination of arrogance and meanness is that fullblown Briton, or, as Parr would have called him, that "ruffian in ermine," Lord Chancellor Thurlow, who could justly claim the rare distinction of being As English manners grew naturally out of Enthe greatest bully and the greatest parasite of his glish character, so England's social and political time. But this peculiarity is commonly modified institutions have grown naturally out of English by nobler and sturdier qualities, and the nation is manners, and all are hieroglyphics of national especially felicitous in the coarse but strong prac qualities. They express, in somewhat grotesque tical morality which is the life of its manners. forms and combinations, the thoughts and sentiThe fundamental principles of social order are ments of the ruling classes from age to age.

But the moment that James the Second laid a rough hand on the established safeguards of the property, lives, and religion of the nation, the whole people fell away from him; the Tory who preached submission as a duty, and the Whig who claimed rebellion as a right, were both instantly united in a defense of their common English heritage; and a tempest of opposition arose whose breath blew the monarch from his throne. And this brings us to the consideration of the concrete and national character of English freedom, which, having its foundation deep in the manners of the people, and slowly organizing its ideas into pro we may be sure that, however absurd and even inhuman some of them may now appear, they served a practical purpose, and met a national want, at the period of their establishment; and though the forms in which the national life is embodied are clung to with a prejudice which sometimes boils into fanatical fury, and though the dead body of an institution is often fondly retained long after its spirit is departed, this sullen conservative bigotry gives stability and working power to the government amidst the wildest storms of faction, and its evils are moderated by a kind of reluctant reason and justice, which in the long-run gets the mastery. Thus the constitution of the House of Commons before the Reform Bill of 1832, was not fitted for the altered circumstances of the nation, and the reformers really adhered to the principle of English popular representation in their almost revo-tecting institutions, has withstood all assaults belutionary changes in its forms; but it would be a great error to suppose that in the unreformed House of Commons legislation did not regard the interest of unrepresented constituencies, because it abstractly had the power to disregard them. Such an impolitic exercise of political monopoly would have reformed the representation a hundred years ago. So was it less than half a century ago, with the horrible severity of the criminal law, which made small thefts capital crimes, punishable with death. Conservatives like Eldon and Ellenborough opposed their repeal as vehemently as if the national safety depended on their remaining as scarecrows on the statute books, though as judges they would no more have executed them than they would have committed murder. It is understood in England that when the national mind outgrows a law, "its inactivity," in Plunket's phrase, "is its only excuse for existence," though to propose its repeal is to incur the imputation of Jacobinism. "The wisdom of our ancestors," is the English-no established forms of that Liberty, "whose limbs man's reverent phrase as he contemplates these gems from the antique; but we should do injustice both to his humanity and his shrewdness, did we reason deductively from them to results, as though they were still living institutions issuing now in ghastly facts. He keeps the withered and ugly symbols of his old bigotries for ornament, not for use! cause it has ever been intrenched in facts. The national genius embodies, incarnates, realizes all its sentiments and thoughts. Establishing rights by the hard process of growth and development, it holds them with a giant's grasp. Seeing in them the grotesque reflection of its own anomalous nature, it loves them with the rude tenderness of a lioness for her whelps. It cares little for abstract liberty, but it will defend its liberties to the death. It cares little for the Rights of Man, but for the rights of English man it will fight "till from its bones the flesh be hacked." It cares little for grand generalities about liberty, equality, and fraternity; but, swearing lusty oaths, and speaking from the level of character, it bluntly informs rulers that, loving property, it will pay no taxes which it does not itself impose, and that, being proud, it will stand no invasion of its inherited property of political privileges. It will allow the government to exercise almost tyrannical power provided it violates were made in England." Its attachment to the externals of its darling rights has a gruff pugnacity and mastiff-like grip, which sometimes exhibit the obstinate strength of stupidity itself-a quality which Sheridan happily hit off when he objected in Parliament to a tax on mile-stones, because, he said, "they were a race who could not meet to remonstrate.' So strong is its realizing Indeed, this unreasoning devotion to organic faculty, so intensely does it live in the concrete, forms, even after they have lost all organic life, is that it forces every national thought into an instiever accompanied by a sagacity which swiftly ac- tution.
