      presence . By this time , a crowd of idlers had made their way into the room —and I saw at once that , if I yielded to the brute , my influence would be gone for ever . I sat down , and by dint of a little patience , and a few kind words , subdued his -wrath . I did not open my lips on the subject of religion , and our interview ended in my obtaining leave to visit him again . Now , this man was the type of an enormous class of persons in the district . It was very obvious that , as a clergyman , I could not approach them . In their minds religion was identified with priestcraft , tyranny , and covetousness . It had no relation with the wants and sufferings of humanity . A priest was useful in his way , he " cotvld make all it right" on a death-bed , j but he could solve no problem of social life . I soon discovered , however , ! that when I addressed such persons on purely human grounds , when I came to speak to them—as one suffering in some respects like themselves—at all events , most willing to heal their wounds—my words found ready acceptance . Where then , in truth , is my congregation ? Is it among the few hundreds only who appear in Sunday costumes in the Church , or ! among the outlaws of society , who make up the heathendom of Christian j England , that I am to deliver my message ? My sympathies are with the poor and outcast far more than with that other class who seem to tell me , by every loot , that they can take care of themselves . H .

      : diorama . of the wae . To some extent the efforts that have been made , at the Gaixeby of Illisteatioji , to keep up with the moving scenes of the war , have altered the ' character of the exhibition . We no longer have that gliding succession , of i scenic effects endeared to us by well-approved custom ; the views are now given ¦ ' abruptly ; the curtain descends upon each separate picture ^ and then there is ¦ often a long , but seldom a lucid interval ; during which the literary gentle- ! man talks balder M'Culloch than a literary gentleman should . The latest ' additions are views in the Baltic , showing Napier ' s fleet in Wingo Sound , ! the French fleet in . Kiel Bay , the cutting out affair at Ecknessy and other interesting objects and incidents , ' These views are shown and explained at the commencement . Then come tlie views of St . Petersburg and Vienna , the first of which is one of the most beautiful pictures to be seen in London . I It shows the city by moonlight , across the Neva , -which is frozen and covered with skaters . The lights on the quay , and in the many windows of the i

      palaces , contribute greatly to the effect of the picture , being so managed as to suit the various gradations of distance . In other scenes less care was apparent . A moon , for instance , was a mere circular hole , through which amazed spectators could discern the tops of masts and another moon , belonging to the scene at the back . The views on the Danube and in the Black Sea are of unequal merit . Among the best were those taken from the sketches of the now famous Lieutenant Montague O'Reilly , of the Retribution . Q

      The Ejlpekor Nicholas . — " Here stands forward an autocrat booted and spurred and starred , with crosses and eagles and saints at every button-hole , who tells people that he is sent expressly by the Almighty to protect certain lioly places a thousand miles from his dominions ; andto ¦ ¦ whip certain holy women , because their holiness was not cut out and stitched and flounced and embroidered according to his pattern ; and to tear little eliildren from the knee and from the spelling-book of their fathers ; and to drag , between the bars of harrows on ¦ wheels : the wife who implored permission

      to follow her chained husband to the mines of far Siberia . Prussian prosers wouliLtencli us that most of what is heroic in ancient history is mero fable . Be it so : but here are authentic facts , not of the ancient or the medisoval ; facts which thousands have witnessed and have borne ; heroic facts , if the word heroic be not deroga- tory from the dignity of God ' s peculiarly appointed His deeds are legitimate , and somowhat more : a word against them , even ' hero in England , tends to revolution and verges on impiety !"JLeftqrs of an American .

      THEATRES . This is not the weather for theatres ; that is obvious . Yet tlie theatres fill ; and we cannot accept the explanation of the closing of Diiuirsr Lane—that it is too hot . While the Spanish dancers retain sufficient elasticity and energy to gratify the crowded and enlightened Haymabkxt ( strongly condemning the lower orders at the Crystal Palace for their want of appreciation of art ) with their agreeable contortions , surely singers can go on sin"ino-. Singers do : at Covert Garden the season is still in full glory ; and even at Dkuby Lane , on Tuesday ( when tlie heat was tie greatest of the week ) , Sims Reeves contrived to obtain a success , which was an event , in Massaniello . At the Haymarket , Mr . Buckstoneis even ¦ brining out new pieces- and btirlmgOo wellconcealed French

      ! yne ' s - , adaptation — " The Old Chateau ; or" something to the same effect—constitutes a pretty drama , so far successful as , with the Madrid troupe , to bring a run of fortune to the house . Mr . Coyne l > rings ; out business-like , playable plays ; and this is one of his best . 1 Two women in love with one man—that is always a good toasis for a plot ; j and Mr . Buckstone is thrown in as the funny Frenchman—characteristically comic , and patriotically unlike . At the Lyceum , Mr . ' C . Mathews has taken his benefit ; to the " resources " of the occasion his brother managers contributing effective aidj Indicating kindness in them , and suggesting to the public somiethrng honourable to hinf If he will but burn his ships behind him— -we except the ship which went down so well two seasons ago in the Dames de la Halle— £ here is , now , a great theatrical career before him . , Grist takes her benefit on the 7 th of August . A theatre large enough to hold the whole " musical public" ought to be built for the occasion . ° Indeed , if any of us could realise that the " farewell" is 'final , there would be something like a national " movement" to bid her a grand gobd-by . She is rich enough , and wants no "testimonial ; " a national bouquet would be inconvenient—what then could be done ? ~\ V .

      languor has "been very great . Consols have alteredverv little during the week ; tbey are firm , and that Is all thatcan be said—shares rather weaker . Mines , as far as purchasing and selling shares , are a dead letter . Peninsula and San Fernando , Liuares / and all mines connected with Spain , have greatly fallen , considering the unsettled stato of that country .
