Pleasure was the object ot existence, not, however, untempored by tue voice of reason or the appeals of conscience the moral code of duties being as puro as tbat ot contemporary nations. Tne_cWl fjovernment was administered by the three . Upper castes. The priests, distinguished by their aupsrior knowledge, cleanliness, and godliness, had the ecclesiastical; the temples being administered by high priests ..iirt an inferior hierarchy, with overstep, mid governors of revenues, domains, and donatives. Bach temple, like a monastic i.r-titution, had its carefully subdivided ors'anisation, each denizen having a separ nrechnrgo of jurisdiction. The political and civil government \v*»s administered by royal ncri'bos, ov secretaries of state, who nttendect to tbe revenue, justice, foreign iitlnirs, and all the interests of the execu tive. Sacred scribes attended to tlic ecclesiastic interests, nnd inferior scii'jcs to the local interests.

The military force of 410,000 n.eii, »l a later period, comprising all arms of the fCfvice, was ruled with severe discipline, and under the direction of nomarohs {/in), colonels (hrai), cnptiins {mcr), and How tenants (cclnu). The criminal and civil law wus administered by judges (saicm en «.</t), who held travelling aasizas, aad to whoso tribunals tha necessary officers wore at tached. The atlilophorosorstaudard-bcarcr nlso transmitted the decrees of the royal chancery. The cxecut;on of deeds required so many witnesses that fraud evidently often occurred. The superior pieition of women in tho social scale, notwithstanding tho permission to marry within degreca of consanguinity usually forbidden, shows that the Egyptians reached a higher point ef delicacy and refinement than cither their ■westers or eastern contemporaries. Colossal in its art, profound in its philosophy and jclifjion, and in pos«essioii of the knowledge of the arts and sciences", Egypt/exhibits the astonishing phenomenon ot an unexpec tedly high and ancient civilisation. THE PYRAMIDS. Pyramids have been erected in different parts of the Old and New World, the most impor tant being the Pyramids of Egypt and Mexico, Those of Egypt were considered one of the seven wonders of the world, are seventy in number, of different sizes, are between 29 deg. nnd 30 deg. K. lat., and are masses of stone or brick, with square bases, and triangular sides. Although various opinions have prevailed as to their use, as that they were erected for astrono mical purposes, for resisting the encroachment of the sand of the desert, for granaries, reser voirs, or sepulchres, the last-mentioned hypo thesis has been proved to be correct in recent times by the excavations of the late General Howard Vyse, who is said to have expended £10,000 in investigating their object and struc ture. They were all the tombs of monarchs of Egypt who flourished from the fourth to the twelfth dynasty, none having been constructed later than that time ; the subsequent kings being buried at Abydos, Thebes, and other places, in tombs of a very different construc tion. The Pyramids are solid mounds raised over the sepulchral chambers of the kings, the first act of an Egyptian monarch being to pre pare his future ' eternal abode.' For this pur pose, a shaft of the size of the intended sarco phagus was first hollowed in the rock at a suitable incline to lower it, and at a convenient depth ii rectangular chamber was excavated in the solid rock. Over this chamber a cubical mass of masonry, of square blocks, was then 'placed, leaving the orifice of the shaft open. Additions continued to be made to this cubical mass both in height and breadth as long as the monarch lived, so that at his death all that re mained to be done was to face or smooth the exterior of the step-formed mound. But in some cases, the masonry passed beyond the orifice of the shaft, which involved the con struction of a new shaft, having its orifice be yond it. The Pyramid was faced by adding courses of long blocks on each layer of the steps, and then cutting the whole to a flat or even surface, 1 Commencing from the summit. The outer masonry, however, or casing, as it is called, has in most instances been partially stripped off. Provision was made for protect ing the vertical joints by placing each stone half way over another. The masonry was admirably finished ; and the mechanical means by which such immense masses of stone were raised to their places has long been a mystery; the discovery,-however, of large circular holes in some'rif thestones'hasled to the conclusion that they were wound up by machines. The stones were quarried on the spot; sometimes, however, granite taken' from the quarries of Syene was partially, employed. The entrances were carefully filled up, and the passage pro tected by stone portcullions and other contri vances, to prevent jngress to the sepulchral chamber. There appears to have been also a door or pyloe at the entrance of the shaft, or namented with Egyptian sculptures and hiero iphs. 'The sides of the pyramids face the cardinal points, and the entrances face the north, The work of the larger Pyramids was executed by corvees of labourers. The most remarkable and finest Pyramids are those of Gizeh, situated on a level space of the Libyan chain at; Memphis, on the west bank of the Nile. The three largest are the most famous. ' The first or Great Pyramid, as appears from the'excavations of Vyse, was the sepulchre of the 'Cheops of Herodotus, the Chembes, or Chemmjs, of Diodorus, arid the Suphis of Manetho and Eratosthenes. Its height was! 480 feet 9 inches, and its base 764, feet square; in-.other words, it was higher than St, Paul's Cathedral, on an area the sue of Lincoln's Inn Fields. Its slope or angle was 51 deg. ,50 mm. It has been, however, much spooled and stripped of its exterior blocks; for,.the building of Cairo. The original sepulchral chamber, called the Subterranean 4parfment, 46 feet by 27 feet, arid 11 feet 6 inches high, has been hewn in the solid rock, and was reached by the original passage,of 320' feet long, which descended to it;by an entrance at the foot of the Pyramid. The excavations in this direction , were sub sequently, abandoned, on. ..account of the vast size attained by the; pyramid, which rendered it'impracticable to carry on the entrance on a level with the natural rock, which had been cut down and faced for, that purpose. Accord ingly, a second chamber, with a triangular roof, was constructed in the masonry of the pyramid, 17 feet by 18 (eet 9 inches, and 20 feet 3 ins. high! This was reached by a passage rising at an inclination of 26 degs. 18 mm., 'termina ting, in a horizontal passage. It is called the Queen's Chamber, and occupies a position nearly in the centre of the Pyramid. The monument—probably owing to the long life attained by the monarch—still progressing, a third chamber, called the King's, was finally constructed, by prolonging the ascending pas sage of the Queen's Chamber for 150 ft. further into the very centre of the Pyramid, and after a short horizontal passage, making a room 17 feet 1 in. by. .34 feet 3 inches, and 19 feet lin. high. To diminish, however, the pressure of the superincumbent, masonry on the flat roof, five small chambers were made vertically in succession above the roof, ,the last one pointed, varying in height from I'foot 4 inches to S.feet 7 inches, the apex of the top one being rather more than 60 feet above the roof of the King's Chamber. The end of the horizontal passage was finished in a superior style, and cased with red Syeni'tic granite; and in the King's Cham ber'was, the,.granite,, sarcophagus of the king Cheops, 7 feet 6% inches long, 3 feet 3 inches broadband 3 feet 5 inches high, for whom the Pyramid was built. The opinion that this granite, or porphyry coffer, was a sarcophagus, £as been questioned, and the theory has been adyanced thaj^jt.was'. a standard measure of capacity, of which the British quarter is the fourtfaparj.,;,.. ■..-:■:„:-., ;

As tjitfi.weat of this chamber was stifling, owing to WtJnl of ventilation, two small air chariiicls, 'of chimneys about, nine inches square were Waaft ascendingl to the north and south.sides'of the .Pyramid.' They perfectly ventilate this chamber; 'After the mummy .was deposited in the King's Chamber, the entrance was closed with granite portcullises, and a weir made at-. the junction ■' of the upward inclined and horizontal passages, by which the workmen descended into the downward inclined passage,, after carefully closing'the access' to. the sepulchral chambers. < The changes which took place'in this Pyramid gave rise to various ■ traditions, even in|the days of Herodotus,, Cheops being reported to lie buried in a chamber surrounded by the waters of the Nile.- ilt took a long tims for its construction—loo,ooo men being employed on it,for thirty years, or more probably.for above naif a century, the duration of the reign of Ctieb'ps,, which is dated by different chrono ogists at 3229, 13095, or 2123 b. c, The operations in this: Pyramid by General Vyse gave rise ..tg^he discovery of marks scrawled in red" ochre in a kind of cursive hieroglyphs on the brought from the quarries of Tourah. These contained the name and titles Khufu (the hieroglyphic; form 'of Cheops); numerals and directions for the position of materials; with theni were masonic marks. The second; Pyramid isisitUated on.a higher elevation^thannthe first,i!.and was built 'by Suphis'H,, or Kephren, who reigned 66 years,

according to Manetho, and appears to have attained "a great age. It has two sepulchr.nl chambers, and appears to have been broken into by the Calif Alaziz Othman Ben-Yousouf, 1196 A. D. Subsequently it was opened by litlzoni. The masonry is inferior to the first, but it was anciently cased below with red granite. The third Pyramid, built by Menkara, or Mycerimis, who reigned sixty-three years, is much smaller than the other two, being only 21S feet high by 354 feet C inches square. It has also two sepulchral chambers, both in the solid rock. The lower sepulchral chamber, which held a sarcophagus of rectangular shape, of whinstone, had a pointed roof, cut like an arch inside ; but the cedar coffin, in shape of a mummy, had been removed to the upper or large apartment, and its contents there rifled. Amongst the debris of the coffin and in the chambers were found the legs and part of the trunk of a body with linen wrapper, supposed by some to be that of the monarch, but by others to be that of an Arab, on account of the anchylosed right knee. The body anil fragments of the coffin were removed to the British Museum; but the stone sarcophagus was unfortunately lost off Cnrtharrena, by the sinking of the vessel in which it was being transported to England. The masonry of this Pyramid is most excellent, and it was anciently cased half-way up with black granite. There are six other Pyramids of inferior si.-c and interest at Gizeh ; one at Aboil Rouash, live miles to the north-west of the same spot, is milled, but of large dimensions ; another at Zowyet El Arrian, also made of limestone, is still more ruined ; another at Rccgah, a spot in the vicinity of Abooseer, also much ruined, ami built for the monarch User-en-Ra, by some supposed to be Busiris. There are five of these monuments at Abooseer, one with a name sup posed to be a monarch of the third dynassy ; and another with that of the king Sahura. A group of eleven Pyramids remains at Sakkara, one with a doorway inlaid with porcelain tiles, and having a royal name. Five other Pyramids are at Dashour, the northernmost of which, built of brick, is supposed to be that of the king Asychis of Herodotus, and has a name of a king apparently about the twelfth dynasty. Others are at Meydoon and Illahoon ; and two at Bialuno, at Medinat El Fyoum, apparently the sepulchres of the last kings of tho twelfth dynasty. Some small brick Pyramids of the kings of the eleventh dynasty are at the Drab Abbo Negger at Thebes. In Nubia, the ancient /Ethopin, arc several Pyramids, the tombs of the monarchs of Meroe, and of.some of the Ethiopian conquerors of Egypt. They are taller in proportion to their base than the Egyptian Pyramids, and generally have a sepulchral hall, or propylon, with sculptures, which faces the cast. The principal groups of these Pyramids are at Bege Rauie, or Begromi, 17 degs. N. lat, in one of which gold rings and other objects of late art, resembling that of the Ptolemaic period, were found.

The Khedive of Egypt.

Tewfik was not born to great expectations. tie is the son of a slave, and his father, Ismail, in changing the order of succession, never intended that hs should he the heir. The ex-Khedive gave the place of legitimate spouse to another woman, who is now staying; at the favourite Palace, in which ''aroiiue of Naples used to give in Ludy Hamilton's honour tho?e fiStes which scandalised Bonaparte. Ismail intended to establish the Napoleonic distinction between .1 civil and n Koyal or Vice-regal family. He was encouraged to hope that lie might purchase the right to do so by the late Sultan. But when Abdul Aziz found there was no more money to be extracted from the Khedive, and learned that Tewfik was easy-tempered and very ignorant, he insis ted upon his right of primogeniture being respected. Some of the descendants of Mehernet Ali were unscrupulous knaves ; but they were all, with the exception of Tewfik, men of ability. The Porte, there fore, and the Consuls of European nations, who were struggling for iuflaence against each other at Cairo, were for the faineant Prince. He was, however, gitted with inoro sharpness than his father or any one else gave him credit for possessing. At any rate, he allowed an astute Italian to advise him. The younger brothers, Hussein an Hassan, had been sent to military schools in France and Prussia, and were anxious, not only to improve their minds, but to acquire a name for scientific know ledge and general ability. Their example was no stimulus to Tewfik. He thought it more advantageous to copy Juntas Brutus, aud played the dunce part with success. The most he did in the way of educating hiraselt was to pick up a few European lan guages, which he spoke as badly as he could whenever he found it necessary to converse in them. Only a few in triguing friends, who had secretly backed his luck, when Ismail was at Cairo, knew that he was not so ignorant as he made believe. Une of them was Signor Mnrtino, the cousin of his Italian friend, and now his private secretary. The ex-Khedive was satisfied that his first-born son wa3 a weak-willed, witless creature. Tewfik, in the closing.;years of his father's reign, seemed to have nn other ambition than to sail up and down the Nile in a barge, or to ride, propped up with cushions, in a Vic toria, in the cool hours of the morning and evening. He took no notice of those Anglo-Indians and Englishmen who sa luted him. His lingers, which were, relatively to hh corpulent figure, very slender, played with a chaplet of amber. The eyes were nearly closed. But now and then they cast furtive glances, which showed that, if the Prince was a faineant', he was not a fool. Lord Beaconsfield, after long halts be tween many opinions, determined to concert with France—or rather with Gambetta—to depose Ismail, in whose engagements to pay the interest of his debts, no trust was .to be placed. This happened in the first year of Gr6vy's Presidency, It was very near happening in the last year of the Mac- Mahonate. The difficulty in the way of a complete entente wai Prince Halim.the only surviving son of Mehemet Ali, and, accord to the old law of succession, Ismail's heir apparent. He had got round Madame la Mardchalc, the Duke Decaze, and the intelligent Pere Marchand, who' directs the Catholic Missions in Armenia and Kgypt, and the Jews at the Bourse are altogether in his favour. But ho arrived in Paris sis days after the fates of Ismail aad Tewfik were decided. Salim unveiled to M. Gumbetta the motives which had led Downing-street to prefer the nephew to himself. Tewfik was supposed to be in the hands of Martino. This was an error. He had a very clever wife, and was uxorions. The Hanam Kmcneh feared no rival. It was she who would reign, and she was an Anglomaniac. Her dearest friends were English ladies. Tewfik quite admitted her pretension to being the better-half in their matrimonial partnership. Halim judged well his nephew and niece-in-law. Whenever the Khedive gives an audience to a Minister or foreign Consul, the Hanem i'meneh is posted behind a screen of carved wood", where she hears and sees, but re mains invisible ! One day a conversation between the French Controller and Tewfik waß suddenly interrupted by an altercation belund the screen, The disputants were Emcneh and her mother-in-law, who is jealous of her influence, and is a super stitious, ill-tempered old woman, who thinks that it was by the virtue of her incan tations Ismail was deposed. If the old lady had her own way, a sorcerer would have been placed over the Cauiact when her son began his reign. Tewfik would be delighted if Emeneh had a stronger belief in sorcery. Bis faith in the supernatural, such as it has been revealed to him by his mother, ia absolute. Missionaries, Protestant and Catholic, have ready acce>s to his Highness. He has received irom the former Coptic Bibles, and from tbe latter catechisms, especially intended for Mahomstans. In granting an audience to an emissary of the Gesu or of Exeter Hall, he grasps an amulet in one hand. His Highness is <oo not too look into the pious books which evangelising Europeans pre sent to him, He leans towards the Protes tant', because he finds his mother's theory of sorcery established in Holy Writ. If it is not, how explain dead Samuel's anewer to the Witch of Endor'seall? Joseph's interpretation ot Pharaoh's dream appears to him a very neat result of the wizard's craft.-. . ..:...;. . , j ~ ■ JSWhen Mdme. Rivers.Wilson lived at Cairo, Towfik often dropped into her breakfast parties. He liked her, because she is good-natured, notwithstanding a vein of conversational sarcasm, and did not make him remember that be was the Khedive when he wenfc in search of potluck at her house. Familiarity is..distasteful ia bis High nesfl. But he hates to be law.ned upon and flattered. He is fond of the companion ship of children, and himself directs all tbe Christmas and other juvenilo parties that are given by bis three young people. The eldest of the trio is twelve years old, and' the most useful, 'rincess ftadshat,. is in her fourth year. • ■ A prodigious quantity of Roman candles and Bengal-lights are consumed at these fiitof, to which the children of diatin. guished Knropeans at Cairo are invited:. Aa a ruler, Teyylik has adhered to tbe con-

slitntional theory of Government. He is satisfied with drawing his pay, and leaving to his Ministers all drudgery nnrt responsi bility. Whatever they deem), lin counter sigtiH, aud asks no qncsliou-i—c-xcept behind the scenes, whore he applies f<r information and advice to Urn shrewd Martino. Whon Arabi, not long ago, presented to the Khedive v long list ot military men for whom he wanted hiuh grades, Tewlik observed : " It seems to me that all these candidates were 'plucked' last year, when they only wauled to pass for sub-lieutenancies. However, ai 1 reign and you govern, it is no afi'nir of mine." Tlie Kliedivo has, however, and with good reason, suspected that Arabi wants to govern and rei^n too. His lazy Highness, who linn's that his post suits hi n, has been, therefore, roused up to try and overreach the ambitious Minister. He has had a riillieult game, three very astute men bciog'agaiust him. They arc Ismail, Ilaiini, and M. do Freycinet, who would be glad to sec in Tewlik's place a ruler with a will of Ins own. and disposed to look to France for loans and protection, llalim is very well disposed to borrow money, and has bouwed a good deal, on any interest which Jewish frauds, inclined to make sporting investments, chose to Tcwlik has never boon in tho roon°y market. If there is O'i<> thine in which hi: is linn, it is in the auditing of hU household accounts, which he looks into carefully. His eood-nnturo chows itself in a thousand small ways, but never in profusenesi. Cairo is no longer tho Kdou of tho Palaia rcoyal netrcsa. There was a time—and it is not long pnst— when auy woman with a voice and ft fairly-pretty face, who went thoro to aim; in the Viceroy's thoutro, came back to Europe liuleu with gold and jewels, Towfik neither cares for tho opera nor the drama. His gifts to friends are generally trilliug BOUVOnirs, such as fancy stationer* in fashionable quarters of European cities deal in. 1 wo years ago ho contracted with a Viennese tradesman to supply him with a certain number of hauilsnmely-bouml albums, containing photos of Egyptian an tiquities. The few that nrc mounted in precious metals are for presentation to il lustrious visitors to tho Valley of tho Nile. The rest are for smaller fry.—" Truth."

Theatrical and Operatic.

[FROM OUR LONDON CORKESPONDKNT.] GuonciuSisiMK's immensely successful play, 11 Tho Lights o'London," has been with drawn from the I'rincesse.s' Theatre, after a run ot 227 nights (anil whilst still at tracting crowded nouses), in order to make room for tho same author* "Romany Uyo," of which great things are anticipated. It ia strange what a difference good noting and scenery make to a piece. I saw " The Lights o' London" at tho Union Square Theatre, Now York, snmo weeks ago, and thought it a very ordinary melodrama in deed. The other light, however, I was persuaded into visiting the Princesses' here to witness the same piece, and the diiierciiee between the two performances simply amazed me. The stage at tho Princesses' is one of the largest in London, aud^ for realistic eilect I havo never seen "The Borough on a Saturday night" equalled. It is simply a life-like street scene. One of the best things I have seen since my return to England is an adapta tion of Ouida's novel, "Moths," at the Olympic. The picco may not be much, played by an ordinary company, bud with Kyrle Bellow (the beau idfal (if a handsome young opera tonor) as " Correze ;" Car lot ta Addison as "Lady Dally;" Miss Loui-e Willesas tho "Amurican"hdrc6S, "Fuschia Leech;" audlovelyMnrie Litton as "Nero," it becomes a most inteicstiug play, and kept me in my Beat through four acts with out even tho customary entr'acte, cigarette, or "gin and split polly" (an affectionate abbreviation for gin and apollinaros water). A few weeks ago it was impoaible to go anywhere about London without hearing the " Glou-Glou" duct, or " (Juitc the most attractive wee girl," fiom " La Was cotte." Now, however, the Wnltz and Cobbler's Song, from " Boccaccio," are all the rage, sharing popularity with a rnthei amusing comic song in which an old repro bate declines—

" I've been and gone and joined 'cm, Yea ! yea 1 yea I* I've been and gone and joined'em, Yea 1 yea ! yea ! It's far from melancholy, In fact, it's mthor jolly, And not so dull as sinners think

Is ye'i I yea ! yea I"

y The sonps Arthur Roberta and the Chris i. ties sing just now are not up to mud), (1 though the former has n catching ditty, v "I'm going to do without them," the tune c o£ which haunts one considerably. Henry lrvir.g and the Lvcourn company y will positively visit the Ignited States iv 0 tho antumn ot next year. a Edwin Booth appears in London, on the Q 16th inst., opening at the Adelphi in 1 " Richelieu." q Mr Toole has produced a short burlo--que 0 at tho theatre called •'Thn Rese of Sting ing Nettle Farm," in which tho pastoral j comedy of "The Squire," now so popular 0 in London, is laughably travestied. "Manteaux Noirs" (ISlack Cloaks), a ', comic opera, by Paulton and Bucalossi, y founded on Adams's 'Giralda," has been . produced at the Avenne Theatre with pro j nounccd success. h The groat theatrical event of the past r ten days was tho production of a new ': piece entitled "The Romany llye," at the ~ Princesses', written by the author of the 't highly successful "L'ghts o' London." 0 Tho piece is ordinary, but tho scenery is v the finest and most realistic I ever saw. , c The story of the new play is familiar in its ( f outline, and ia by no means so ingenious ir and interesting as tbat of "The Lights o' ~ London." Its chief novelty lies in the odd £ family relationsliip of its three lcaiiDg „ characters, the persecuted hero, the sufl'er . ing heroine, and the scheming villain. ." For a while this is somewhat puzzling, a and, for our own port, we would gladly a have it more lucidly set forth evon at the 0 < sacrifice of some of the scenes, which in a act after act arc devoted to the elaborate c illustration of lower life either in St. Giles's j or RatclifF Highway, or on suburban race ,1 courses. Eventually, however, it is mad d tolerably clear that young Mr Philip Roy j Btoa, o£ Craig's Nest and London, is not 0 the rightful owner of his estate either in c the country or in town. His father be e fore marrying his mother had become the husband of a gipsy, and that gipsy had a j. son named Paul; so, until Philip can a I prove the death of his half-brother, or can destroy the evidence of his father's first marriage, his title to Craig's Nest is worthless. This he discovers when he trie 3to obtain a further advance of money from his friend Marsden, and at about the tame time he finds out that hh Lon don property^ really belongs to tho loat daughter of his late uncle. Now, Philip lioyston is an extremely wicked yonnu man, nnd readily falls before the double temptation thus presented to him. Hut his position with reference to his inheri tance is so perplexing and inconvenient that perhaps he gains more sympathy than he deserves. It U, of course, very wrong of lain to be playing fast and loose with the gipsy girl, Laura Lee, and, indeed, he shows himself a heartless scoundrel from iirst to last. But he is cenaiuly an object for pity when the Romany llye, or gentle man gipsy, declares himself his half brother, and the rightful hoir to Craig's Nest, and when in the Romany Eye's sweetheart, Gertie Hackctt, he mecin the cousin who has a legal claim on tho re maining half of his property. By all who are acquainted with the workings of modern melodrama, the outcome of these awkward discoveries will easily be guessed. The villain determines to many the girl, and to get rid of the man as best he may. In Queer-street, St. Giles's, we watch him attempting an abduction, only to be foiled by the opportune assistance rendered to .one of his intended victims by the other. At Hampton races he repoa'a hjs jrj jqnitous effort, and his scheme once moro breaks down at the critical moment. Then, when the Romany Rye and Gertie become man and wifo, and set sail for America to obtain missing proofs in auppct of their claim, the reckless usurper determines pn a bolder measure. He will decoy tiie young hus band from the vessel at the moment when it is about to weigh anchor, will lure him down RatclifF Highway, and have him saf-ly murdered. He reckons, however, without taking into account the exceptional vitality of. a hero of melodrama. The Ifomany R.ve escapes from tho'bullies mjd to throw him into tho Thames, and after ward to recover his dead body, go when the ship on which his bride has been borne away from him founders off Falmnuth he is at hand to aid in her rescue from the wreck, and to hear from her lips the glad news that she haa already attained by accident the object of their ill-fated expedition. As policemen are also on the spot to arrest ;he villain on a charge of attempted mur. 6r, the ends of long-deferred lustice are finally fulfilled. ";i ;'/ : '.;•■..'.

section xi r. METHODS OF PUNISHMENT

THE use of the rack as v punishment, ov v means of oxtovtiug confession, was never' recognised by English law. When it was desired in li>"2S to nick Fcltou, who had stabbed to death (ho Duke of Buckingham, the jiidtji'3 declarorl such a proceeding illegal. Other punishments scarcely less caiul were however enf need. The savage treatment of Prvime, the r.ish aud stubborn Puritau who assailed stage plays and actors, mid MCurrilously attacked the bishops and prelacy, will serve as our first illustration. [In was sentenced by the Star Chamber in 16H7 to stand, twice in the pillory, to have 'his ears cut off, to be branded on the checks with tho loiters S. L. (sotlitious libeller), to pay si lino of £5000, and to be perpetually imprisoned, The liua remained unpaid ; but the poor wretch liad one of hi* cars shorn oil' at Westminster, nml three days later, tin other at.|.Choapsido. Copies of I lie oflbuding hook were burnt beneath the pillory, und so close that Pyrnne was nearly Hudbcatcd. The horrible fate of Titus Gates is intr i«c«nd iiluslration, lie was son tonccd to bis pilloried iiv.st at Westminster, then at the Royal .Exchange, to be whipped by t.lie Imnginan from Ahlg.ito tv Newgate, and after two days' interval, from Newgate toTybiini. If lio should survive tlio inllic t'oil'ho was to be imprisoned for life, and exposed in the pillory live timos every year in ilill'i'iitiit parts of London. Gates sur vived tho lirst (logging, and the second also, but ho was so seriously injured on the first occasion that he was unable to stand and bad to bo drawn from Newgate to Tyburn on a sledge. A spectator says ho received on tlie second day no lcs than seventeen hundred stripes. The third case in point is tbat. of Alice Lisle, widow of John Lisle one of CruniWoU's lords, and at the time of Moninouth's rebellion (IGSS,) past suventy years of age. Her crime was that of har bouring two fugitive rebels, who upon search being made were found on her promises, .' udgo J ell'reys sentonced her one morning to be burned alive that very attar noon. Such barbarity however moved tho pity and indignation of even those who were most devoted to the crown. Sentence was deferred 5 days and the penalty was com mu'cil from burning to beheading. Alice Lisle died on a scaffold in Winchester mar ket-placewith serene courage and "great constancy of mind," liuruct says. One uioro illustration will be enough. An nged mati on of tho liaptist persuasion, named Elizabeth Claunt, aided one ot Mon mouth's rebels to escape down the Thames and get on board a vessel bound for Amsterdam. For this deed—which by her was considered merely an act of charity and piety—she was sentenced to the stake. It was thought that tho punishment would bo at least mitigated by the king (James II), but he was true to his character and refused to lelent. Tho unfortunate woman was burned at Tyburn,reminding the spectators of the heroic deaths they had roait in Fox'c "Book of Martyrs." The Bill of Right* pas-td on the accession of William 111. to the throne (IGSS) put an end to barbarous punishments such i\n have been describo<). It was there enacted, "that excessive bail ought not to required, nor excessive lines imposed, nor cruel rind unusual punishment inliictfd." .Among " cruel and unusual' punishments the pillory was not included In 1815 it was abolished as a punishments for all crimes except perjury ; and did not become unite unknown to English law till ISII7. Tho last criminal who stood in the pillory was I'eler Jiuuos Bossy, who was i'\ posed at the olit Bailey on the 21th Juno 1830. The savageiy of .English law con tinued for a hundred and thirty years longer, however, It was not till the reign of William IV. that reason and hu manity made thoir power felt, and tho punishment of death was restricted to two or throe of the moßt heinous crimes. At the beginning of. tho present century the law recognised '2'Z'i capital oil'encos. Death was the penalty for shooting rabbits, for lifting linen trom a. bleaching ground, for stealing anything valued at live shillings, for appearing disguised on a public high way, for sending threatening letters with the intent of extorting money, for return ing from transportation before the term had expired. One hundred and fifty-six of tho offences In question had bceu made capital during ihe reigns of the Georges, and hence we have n< t the satisfaction of giving our ancestor' ofjmcdirovnl times the credit of so much barbarity. A curious account of a hanging is given by i'opys under date 21st January, ]()'o'3-4. Tho victim was one Turner who had been convicted throe days previously of felony and burglary. I'opys writes :—" Seeing people Hock in tho city, I inqtrired, and tound that Turner was not yet hanged. And so I went among them to Loadcnliall strect, at the end of Lyme-strcot, near where the robbery was done; and to St. Mary Axe, whore he lived. And there Ig it for a sui'ling to stand upon the wheel of a cart, in great pain, above an hour before the execution was done ; he delaying the time by long discourses and prayers one after smother, in hopes of a reprieve; but none come, and at last was Hung oil' the ladder in his cloak. A comely looking man he was, and kept his countenanco to the end. I was sorry to see him. It was believed there were at least twelve or four teen thousand people in the street." Tins seems the most fitting place ti in troduce some short account of the prisons of England during the latter part of tho seventeenth century. |Tney were for the most part miserable dens, filthy, and over crowded, tho gitolors being senseless brutes as depraved and abandoned as the prisoners over whom they were supposed to keep cuard. Thomas Ellwood, ihe Quaker, Milton's friend, was a prisoner in Newgate for his religious opinions, and while there he says he saw tho heads and quarters of men who had been executed for treason kept for some .time close to tho colls, and the heacis tossed about in horrible sport by the hangmou and the more hardened male factors. (Mackintosh's "Miscellaneous Works," p. 357.) It is from tho lips of the wretched sectario* who wero shut up in them that we learn how unspeakably noisome and unwholesome the gaols wero. At one time as many as 1460 Quakers wero imprisouca in several couniies. Twelve hundred were liberated by James 11, who, however, was merciful nieroly for policy's sake. In granting toleration ho was bene fiting the persecuted Roman Catholics, among which body he was himself num. bered. In " Good Advice to the Church of England," by William I'eno, the Quaker, it is stutcd that more than 5000 persons had " died in bonds fpr matters of mere conscience to Qod." The principal cau>e of th's huge mortality wn.s gaol ievar, the inevitable result of the insanitary condition of the prisons. The legislature itself ad mitted that " needy persons committed to gaol many times perished before their trial." Occasionally poor wretches when brought to trial convoyed tho infection with them from dungeon to court-room, and judges, jury, advocatos, and lookers-on were swept away by it. A few instances of the man ner in which Quakers and Baptists were commonly handled will he interesting. In 1649 George J''px, the founder of the sect called Quakers, ma.de a disturbance in the church at Nottingham while tho sermon was being delivered. The exasperated authorities rpmovpd lijm to a plapo ''so filthy and intolerably noisome that the sniell thereof was very grievous to bo borne." Fox during his eventful career saw the insides of many English prisons be sides that of Nottingham. At Carlisle, in 1053, he was " thrust li^tp a pommon holo, amongst the vilest felons and disorderly peraots, without bpd, fire, or other accom modation." The governor b ing induced to visit him, was shocked at tho iilthiness of the dungeon. Two years lator Fox was confined jn Lauppesfon G.ap.l, Ho was put into a hole, significantly called Daomadalc, describod as being so filthy, damp, and unwholesome that few put into it came out alive. It was ankle deep in mire and water, so that thp poor wretches shut up therein could riot lie (lowa, but wore com polled, fo ijtand nil the. v/hllo. Subse quently he was an ia mate, wjth others of hij sect, of Luicester gaol. Before his ad vent in this place, it had been the custom of the gaoler when tbe .Friends asxeinblcd fqr worship to get h;s mastiff on thpjfl, At Lancaster fot was closely kept in an apart ment in the towpr, where tho smoke and cjamp from tho rooms of the other prjsnnpru eamo np so thick that it stood like dew ipon the walls, aud a lighted candle sometimes was hardly visible. Ho was at times almost suffocated. All ono winter was he confined in this deu. the rain often raining in upon him, and the wind, which found easy entrance, almost freezing his blootl. He spent more than fifty shillings to niake thejplace habitable, aud then his keepers inhumanly removed him to another cell, jppon to the sea,, where there was. neither'chimney nor hearth,. The water, camo-in frequently, arid when his clothes

wero saturated, he was not allowed a fire to dry them with, No wonder that bis health was impaired, and that " his limb swelled far beyond their natural size.' Most persons would have succumbed to hardships less severe. Fox lived to see hip sixty-sixth birthday, however. It is a fact worth noting that, the state ot the prisons which was commonly as we have just do sciiberl, wns of ten taken as a mat tor of course. One Mulliner, a Quaker, speak", without any protest against suchbaibaritv, of seve ral religious sufferers dying in Northampton county gaol from "the straitness if thi place, and the want of common air." The humane Evelyn, in l(J5(i, visited Ipsw'cli gaol where a number of Quakers were then imprisonul; but what he saw called from him no special remark, being probably nothing more than the usual condition ol things, Prisoners, however, may luv been less savagely treated at Ipswich than at other places. The Quakers petitioned James 11. on the subject of their suff-rings, and pointed out that above 3r>o of thcr body had perished in prism since the Re storation, iiudnoaily 100 since ICSO. They further stated that Newgate was crowded— the prevailing condition in those days — wilh'sometimes twenty in a room, where several had been suil'ocatcrl, and otherc, taken out, ha I succumbed (o malignant fevers. In IUS2 the Quakers of Bristol guttered bitter persecutions. ''Many of them were thrown into prison, where their health was cndangoroii for want of room ; many beds biing crowded into one small apartment, and some wi re obliged to lio o>> the ground in a filthy place which had been a d'>g kennel.' ("Supplement" io NenlV " History of the P.nitan-.") The Baptists were not much better off. They wee not merely thrown iut>> gaol, but were not free from molestation even there. It wns com plained that when engaged in godly con versation and prayer tho felons of the gaol (Nowuate), tho thieves and housebreakers, the pickpockets and highwaymen, were let into their rooms to annoy, assault, and hi at them. ("Neat's .Supplement.") On the 19th of January, 1084, died in Nowga c William Junkyos, a divine, who had been imprisoned for his religious opinions He was seventy-three years of age, ond four mouths ana a week of prison was sullicie/it to kill him. His physicians had declared their belief as to tie result of bis clo«e con finement, and tho king was petitioned for his release, —to no purpose, however. His funeial was largely attended, fcoes of mourning coaches following. His son gave rings with this inscription—" William Jenkyns, murdered in Newgate." Alter these pictures of lilthy gaols nml ill-treated prisoners, it is only fair to record Bunyan's experience. For more than twelve years he was the inmate ot a lied ford prison, not tli« loathsome den or dun goon Nonconformist fancy has sometimes Imagined. At first his confinement was not riuorous. He was allowed by the gaoler —not without this sanction of tho abend'— to go where he pleased, once even as far as London. He was permitted to spend hi* nights with his family. Once a clerical miigistrate, getting a hint of what was happomng, sent a constable to sco if the prisoners were all within ward ; but linn yau had received warning, and was in his place. Ho spent his liberty in preaching— the offence for which he had been com mitted and as he continued thus to defy tho law indulgences were withdrawn, anil h- was, as he expected, 'roundly dealt with," namely, put into close confinement He spent part of his time in making tngs for bootlaces. The composition of the lirst part of the "Pilgrim's I'rogresu" was his amusement. Ho was also accustomed to conduct divine service in the prison. Charles Doe, a Nonconformist divine, visited him, aud heard him " pruy aud preach with that mighty spirit of faith and plerophory of divine assistance" thut made him stand aud wonder.

Shocking Cruelties at Burmah.

A correspondent of the "Daily News," in a letter dated May 4, saye :—The news that has come lately to hand from Manda lay reveals ai hiacous a picture of crime aud diabolical cruelty as tho human mind can conceive. All the fiendish atrocities which disgraced Thcebaw's accession to the throno have found a parallel in those lately enacted in the Mandalay Palace. The priucipal agent in the murders has been tbe Chief (Juccn, Soopayahlat. Thee baw must this timo be held L'uiltleKs of nil that has taken place within his palace within the pan three weeks. Tho King has allowed himself to bo ruled by his fitron^-niinduil Queen, so that the r^al government of Upper Xurmah is now vested in the Soopayahlat, One of her first acs was to wreak her vengeance on the rival who hud eupplantod her. During the Chief Queen's last confinement, the King had made him self particularly agreeable to the graud daughter of the old Kampat Miogycc, and oven wont tho length of makins; her a Quoen, Bnt when tho Soopayahlat was herself again, she made it so uncomfortable for the Koyol husband that ho was forced to put hid new wife away. Not content with this triumph, the Quron prorailed on her weak-minded husband to have the new Queen punished, and »he carried her point so far as to persuade the king to order her rival to bo beaten with Tod 3. Tim un fortunate young Qacon was dragged into tbe presence nf the Soopayablat and, though far advanced in pregnancy, was inhumanly beaten to death with club>, tho Queen calmly sitting out the entire scone. To prevent the story of the mur der getting abroad the Queen ordered all those who wore a warn of the crime to ho imprisoned. Among tho.«e whom th's order affected wero the ex. Kull»hWoon (Governor for foreigner*) and his family, who were first severely beaten with rods, and then lodged safely In gaol. So great is the sense qf desolation |n Mandalay, that a recent arrival from that city hog described it as a city oi tbc dead. A reign of torrbr holds sway, neighbonr distrusts triond, and those who Bp»ak English imploringly ask interlo cutors to address them in English to avoid being understood by passers-by, J 4 oid Kipcn cannot entertain any hopes of oonclnding a treaty with the Government of Ava while the Soo payahlat reigns supreme, neiihor can he degrade our nation by receiving the Em baßsy, and thereby condoning these mur. ders. But the matter doo.i not ond hero. The Chief Commissioner of British Burmah has expressed a resolve not to overlook tho indignities to which the Kullah Woon and his family have been subjected, Mr Bernard argues tbat though these people have taken tho oath of alloeiance to Theebaw, they, as horn British subjects, arc not thereby deprived of thnir p'ivilcges as such, and it seems more than probable tJiat the im prisonment of the Kullah Woon may have more important hii^iogupou it thau we are at present aware of.

A Festal Night of Death.

CniOAOo,,Tnno 10,—When Oiisper Scybohlt, v taker, returned liomo this mornin£j from i's night's work, ho was mot at tkp^oor by his wife Wary, She was fantastically grossed in whitp, with rjbiions and i(b«crs.. She smilingly invited Wm to enter, "gee the children;" she said; " they ure a.ll dead See h.ow pretty they are." The mafl Icmkod about liiiri, and beheld Jyja four pb^^rei^ lying on a tah(p with, tluir hands folded, 'l'hyce of them were d.cad and o.ne was just brpathin^ h,or last. They were neatly dressed. Their hair was combed and, tied with ribbons; their frocks wtro ornamented with bows of bright hluo, and in each little hand was a bouquet. The oldest was 12 years old, the next 7, tho next 2, and the youngest was a b,abe of four months. As Bop,n as Seyboldt coujcl, no^Sc^ 3 neiglibour, and a ao.cfcor', >ys\g summoned. Whpn he arrived children were all dead, and the rp6th,er wqs in her last agonies. Shodied, a fow minutes lator. Tho baby was poisoned first and laid' oiit for burial. Then came t^ic little girl Auoio. Next Antqnio was Riven the fa,tal drug, and, th,on the cldpst glil, Mutildq. ' From ftf no.tesi written^ by i\ Mva Seyboldt talked niattpr over with her, and got hpr to consent to tragedy. Several qre addressed to her schoolmates mi pl|jl^i<h mattprs, and (wo tp, Iftt^er. On,e says : "fprgiYp vfle. Wp l^ave (q leavp you. Mamfaa thpiight it was the best we could do." The othev asks him |q l^ry th,om decently, an^ tplla Wm where shp leaves rnaney iq buy flowers, One,adrlresspd to a, sphoolmate, says; "Mother wa-i alwaya sick, you know, and thought of dying often, and of bow wo would be treated, and so thought it best for all of us to die at once, and bought something to kill us-baby first, Annie second, Tony third, I fitter, and then mother. Wo did not suffer much, and now we are all out of trouble." It appears that Mr and Mrs Seyboldt did not live in entire harmony; that since the •birth of her last child Mrs Seyboldt has hot boon in good health, and it is believed 'that despondency was tbe cause of her acts.

Thomas Walker, the Trance Medium.

A. Curious Expose,

(Fjiom tub "Austuauan Watchman.") Tun public have boon lately interested in a curious religiu - infidel - spiritualistic • legal affair between the Key. J, A. Dowie and Mr Thos. Walker, Freethought lecturer. A rather vigorous corrcpondcnco took place between these two gentlemen with reference 10 a cott'omplated discussion on the merits of spiritualism. The debate did not trans pire, and Mr Howie broke oft' at a certain point, and put the correspondence to press without the .sanction of his opponent. This led Walker to denounce him and his con duct in a withering and acrimonious style through tbc ajlvcrlsing columns of the "Ago." Tin published correspondence between these gentleman ia certainly the most extreme thing in tbe way of abuse and mutual crimination that wo have ever seen ; and a sense of justice compels us to acknowledge that tho dciic in this respect outstrips the infidel. It the picture drawn is a true, verbal and litersry photo graph of Mr Walker, wo do not envy Mr Dowie the task of having t> draw it; nor can we congratulate Mr Walker on the no .session of such a character. It w.is however, Walker's denunciation in the "Ago" advcrti-iincnt that caused Mr Dowie to sue him for £250 as damages for alleged libel The trial came uiFlast week, and was of course re^a'.ded by the public as a «'cat farce, only furnishing material fir a little diversion in the way of .mm se iiK'nt. Mr Dowio had tc withdraw the record, and eacli gentleman had to piy his own costs, or rattier the infidels paid Mr Walker's costs, and we have not heard whether the plainlill fared no well or not.

The moral reputation of the infidel lecturi r has n<»t becu much improved by the above trial, The lawyer on behalf nf the plaintiff read the following extract from a Canadian spiritualistic paper :—

"On 10th September, 1874, a yovmt; Englii-hman by the name of Walker, who claimed to be a trance speaker, while attempting t<> simulate spirit materialism by the use of phosphorus, at au hotel in Canada, severely burned himself. Another man, John Sounder-,who went to his rescue was so badly injured that he died on tho Gth October. At the inquest tho jury held Walker responsible for this man's death, bat Walker had left the city immediately after, and was out of the reach of justice."

Mr Walker.in explanation,acknowledged tho facts, but denied thut he was experi menting with ih« phosphorus with a view to the fraud of materialisation. The ticket on which he left the place, he says, was purchased before tho accident happened, Wo may give Mr Wulkar the benefit of the doubt, but the public, which is not iv the habit of leaning to mercy's side in its judgments on matters of this kind, will doubtless bear thu circumstance in mind. Alluding to a reference mnde to Walker in the "Victorian JUnnor of Light," the same paper snys:—"Since Mr Walker has abandoned the Spiritualistic camp nnd gone over to the Materialists, it is somewhat singular that this paper should oiler him to us an ita champion. A man who could positively allirm, on tho alleged testimony of lm consciousness, that he was controlled and taught by (lie spir.tn of dead men, and knew nothing of tlie fubjecU treated by him, and wlio,aftcr travelling and lecturing in the interest of thin phwinemm, all at once make* the dincovciy that the belief in disembodied spirits is erroneous, and that all tho while, ho was governed by his own spirit, and dhlkiunv and study the themes discussed by him, after alleging his entire conscious ignorance and want of education, and goes so tar as to wear short trousers and to shave clean to couiirm his averred greenness and illiteracy — a man who presents such a specimen of moral con tradictions and self-confessed imposition would, we confess, bo too much for us in public discussion."

The third aditioti of Serjeant Ballantinc's 1 Recollections" was quickly absorbod, anc it fourth is now out. An anonymous skit entitled "The Re volt of Man," mid puhliihcd by Blackwonds at Gs, is an oxtiiiordinary success. The ".Saturday Review" awards it unstinted praise, and the " Aihcniuuin" describes the tule as " a happy idea very cleverly worked out."

c% fjj ru '^ £is>o- iff THE want of a reliable remedy for Rheu matism, Sciatica, Gout, Lumbago, &c, has long been felt as one of the greatest calamities of tho age. While other means and medicines having been proving them selves vain and delusive, this remedy has been silently and steadily unloosing the cruel lingers oi disease, and freeing captive men from their deadly embrace. Tho people are now requested to give Blood Restorer a fair and impartial trial, And the Proprietor would have it distinctly understood that the cures of Rheumatism, &c, are due entirely to his Medicine's Wonderful Effect upon the Blood, by its Cleansing, Purifying, and Invigorating power, Impurity and Inactivity of the Blood is the cause of most sickness and pain. After a course of this medicine, blood-vessels— which have become, as it were, choked up with unhealthy matter—become exhilarant with pure scailet life-blood, flowing na« turally along, and imparting in its coursa vigour and strength to the entire system.

NATHAN & CO, "Auckland, January 12,18821, "'Messrs L. D. Nathan & Co., Auckland. '' Sms, —I am fulfilling an urgent rawest of Mrs Andrews, of Lord Howe's Island, in the Pacific, in stating to you and to Mr Hitchens the extraordinary cure made in her case by the use of Hitchens' ModicinaL Blood Restorer, Living on the Island, I am an eye-witness of the fact, and feel it a duty both to Mr Hitchens and to the general public to testify to the really won derful effect of that medicine. " Mrs Andrews was for four or fiveyenra a martyr to agonising paius in her hip ;• medical men calling it sciatica. She bad been treated for it by the several doctors or the British men-o'-war visiting the Island from time to time, without the slightest relief to the intense pain. She. was afterwards taken to Sydney, hoping-; for fsonie relief, if not a permanent cure,, from treatment of tho medical men of that; city. Sh« was told she was suffering fronji the hip disease, and her case was incurables Without a ray of hope to lighten beir future life; pain and despair her constant attendants, her case was really deplorable,, Mr C K. Ponder, the Manager of ti»* Guano Company at Lord Hone's Island, .one day recommended fcer to try Hitch.ens?' Blood Restorer, as the remedy was iusfc boeommg known at the Island^ through, the advertisement of Oppermaae's cure-, testified to; the German Consul. Mra Andrews readily yielded to, tile recommen dation, and sent for two bottles to Mr Hitchons, Auckland. Within throe,weeks after using it she was able to rise and walk with ih« vise of the crutch, and tha pam \i\ the hip was entirely gone. The medicinal action vas truly marvellous, a»d her gratitude to Mr Hitohens is expressed daily in her prayers thanking God for > jer " "It is my firm belief that anol> nr *.„„ or three bottles—unfortunately »"l „,, tamable without long delay- w n ,,Ki h°," " I am, dear Sirs, !'
