'We are not ,writing a biography, nor keepinga strict daily record of Basil l\'Iarsden s onward progress. It is suffi- cient to take up his history at such in~ tervals as may best serve the purposes of our narrative; and it is needful only to say here, that the year which had passed had glided gently and quietly along with those in whom our story is more parti- cularly concerned, giving us no chances to record, except the gradual and imper- ceptible advaucey which Basil had made towards manhood, and Minnie to We have already seen that Basil had i taken a step or two in worlelly prosperity ; and a glance around the room in which the brother and sister sat would have taken in some signs and tokens of this prosperity. .And if Minuie had on, that evening, arich and handsome silk dress, she might have told you truly that she `had put it on to please the generous brother,` who, not many Weeks before, had purchased it with hiswown savings.

V With some little abatement, Lord Palmer- ston adheres to the recommendation of the Commissioners, and proposes that the works be immediately-commenced. The magnitude of any conceiveable plan for the delence of vthetmetropolis is a sufficient reason for it emis- sion from any programme, especially iftit has to pass through the House of Commons. Per- haps, therefore, it was unnecessary that Lord `Palmerston should commit himself to the military opinion that the proper defence for a large metropolis is an army in the eld. A large army has not always been able to save a metropolis, even under favorable circumstances; for, if it happens to be beaten, it must make `good its" retreat, whether a metropolis be be- i hind it or not. But, as was shown last night, the enemy might land alarge army, and we might chance to have only a small one, and then that would certainly happen which usuallyhappens under such circumstances. However this may be, we are only to proceed on the basis of our existing defences, throwing out our arms to meet the longer arms of the public invader. It is only the logical consequences of what we are doing already, andhave been doingfor this four hundred years. The House of Commons can no more object to adapting our defences to the last improvements in the art of attack than it could in former-days to substitute guns `for crossbows, and earthworks {or stone walls. The single case of the Isle of Wight is con- clusive as to the necessity of marching with the times. We have occasionally weather so settled in what we call our variable climate, that a steam eet might cross from Cherbourg in the course of the night, and land a force in that Isle sufficient to overpower such troops as they might nd in it. In a few hours it would be able to bring guns to bear with fatal effec- tion on the shipping at Spithgead, and even at Portsmouth. The art of destruction is not only improving insomuch that before we have armed ourselves, at immense cost, with one kind of gun, another _has been discovered which promises to be better; and there are absolutely no bounds to the power of ordnance. What we hear every day at Shoeb_uryness, and what we saw.the other day at Wimbledon, are suffi- cient to warn us to keep the enemy further from our butts, if these butts liappert to be dockyards and arsenals containing our navy and the materials for its construction and re- pair. NI: n nn n1nnl.I Joni-n ILA vennnoa-unto Inn-t....... you. No one would desire the necessary improve- ment of our defences to be the work of a Minister, taken upon trust by a conding Par- liament, for better or for worse. We all share with,Mr. Bright his laudible anxiety to_ take an intelligent part in this momentous undertakino. Even after Lord Pa|merston s very frank expo- sition, and after Mr. Sidney. Herbert s lucid statement of particulars, it was not to be ex- pected that the House should adopt at once the Resolution laid before it. True, every member had a copy of the Report, of which the Reso-` I lution professes to he the sum ; true, too, every` member had probably madeup his mind ; but there is a decency in these things,,ar.d the British Legislature is" especially coy in its de- ference to the administrative power. A week is given for" deliberation, and that week may be turned to some purpose. Wewouild fain hope that the delay maybe turned to some purpose. We would fain hopa'that the delay will not be productive of the usual consequences. elf ve hundred independent minds are to study the Report ofthe Defence Commission with no other wish than to arrive at perfectly original and incompatible conclusions, and to act upon them atwhatever risk, why then the Report will only add one more layer to the` moon- mental pile. A certain degree of submission, or atleast co-operation, is necessary when the public safpty is in question. It is not every- body who knows how_ to attack a fort, or how to construct one ; so we must defer to authority, whatever its `value. One thing is very con- clusive-the French find their works at Cher- bourg, Toulon" and elsewhere, colossal as are their scale and their cost, totally unequal to the increased power of modern artillery. They are therefore driven to'the course recommended by our Cornmissioners--advancing their de- fences to meet the long range of the enemy s guns. We can do nothing less with our own much less efficient fortications. run I u :1!

The first Lord Aylmer was the Admiral who escorted Geo go 1. across the seas when he came to-take possession of the British throne, and from that time to this the house of Aylmer has been constantly and most creditably en- gaged in the naval and military service of this country.

It was the riddle of the whole classic world, and remains so to this day.

This, in cnntradistinc- tion from almost all other statuary, presents a notable faculty besides its form and dimen- sions, having being used to contain incense, the smoke of which was emitted through the nostrils. ` It is reallyvcurious and almost difficult to contemplate so grave a people descending to such `an idea. in one of their most elaborated works. ..... . -._...-..-.u_ u vlnul From its locality and that of the pyramids, the authortransports us to the city of On, or as it was classically termed in after times when Egypt became the classic land to Greece and Rome, Heliopolis--the city of the sun. It was the sacred city, what Mr. Taylor termed the Oxford of Egypt itself; and to tNeopolis. of whose extent snme idea may be formed from the fact that its ruins are now about three` miles in breadth. This city II believed to have ourished belore l`he:bes. The allusion to these localities brought the obelisks into View---shufts of ayenite or porphyry, carried to variuus heights within 200 feet, each composed of a single stone! Pompey s pillar, an-l, we presume, tne much celebrated Cleopatra s needle, are of this class. rpL__ '__.___A__ N,#_ 1 L V- run: I r .- _ _ . . _ . _ . -r_. ...... -..- .. unnoloinnu use vn uuw wt-ca.

Illuullullu Mr. Taylor here diverged into a consideration of the habits of the Arabs as they exist at the present day, in regard to marriage, bringing out the fact that the ladies, as the most valuable of all commodities, are only to be obtained by force, which, however, they are allowed to resist even by violence. They have, moreover. their privileges, even when thus wooed and won, for not until eight or ten days after the marriage is the ceremonial allowed to take place which entitles the husband to look {or the very first time upon the face of his wife. The price of a a wife among the Bedouins is about 30 to 35 dollars, paid, as for any other merchandise, to the owner--that is, the father of the girl. - . Pain.-n:nn In That... I...... ._t..:..i. :_.I_-.1 ta We were agreeably disappointed in finding that the primmval land of.Egypt still engaged the lecturer s attention. In part, of course, we had expected that subject to be resumed, since mummy and itsitocntents remained to be revealed and expatiated on. `But, after the intruzluction by the President, in a few pertinent remarks, that topic was again brought before the audience in all its majesty and simplicity. We adjust these terms, relatively, to the state of ancient as contrasted with that of modern Egypt--a contrast which Mr. Taylor. last night brought out in all its force. His description-of the country under the rule of thatgreat reforrner,` Mahomet Ali, was very striking, and new, we `should imagine, to the greater part present. The immediate opening, however. took us back to the pyramid of Cheops, and its associate wonder, the Sphynx, of which colored and vigorous representations were offered the eye. The dimensions of this curious and inexplicable object were given with great exactness from. the best authorities, We cite only the length of_the two-natured creatnre-'-143 feet--the hinder or bestial parts being of course pro- portional. The astonishing adhesion to this as an object in their magnificent works is a. characteristic of the Egyptians, and must, we think, have reference to some peculiar points of their faith which were not embraced sub- seqnently by other nations. This great pro- duction of art is now merely a torso, at least it has the effect of one, from so large a portion being imbedded in u7~r,_ 1. - n -- - - - U1 ruu gm. Returning to Thebes, from which, indeed, it is hard for the student in Egyptian antiquities `to be long absent, Mr. Taylor expatiated on the fact am all the wonders it enclosed have been in ruins for 2000 years. Among those mine is a` temple, of which one feature is that the very approach to the interior was through a calve- cade of sptynxes, 200 in number, and of enormous dimensions, each formed from a single block of pnrphyry. He described also the now mutilated and prostrate statue of Sea- ostria, 60 feet in stature, and which had been conveyed. by whateverimeans, to its present position from a distance of 130 miles, and then again, by whatever means, set upright on its pedestal. The statue as it lies has been mea- sured, and eitimated by French. the most accurate of all engineers, as weighing 887 ' 1008. "FL- .`,,n . nexus n -- The judgment of Osiris, enlarged from a very small drawing by a Hamilton artiat, was next exhibited to the audience. It is of deep interest, unfolding as it does--even in words, as the hieroglyphics are now translated--the opinions of the Egyptians as to the immortality ol the soul and its nal ordeal. The rigid ont- line-of Egyptian sketches does not, of course, allow any expression save as to facts, but these, by the attitudes, and by the objects grouped, constitute. the moat absolute records. From this, he passed to the consideration of their `method of-embalmment, the process nl`.whloh, as. described by Herodotus, he also explained. The esh was all, by various processes, wasted from theibody, and. the" space occupied by various spines of a strongly conservative char- acter. T_he , brains were drawn by hooked iwires through the nostrils. . .
