Dkspoxism.—Despotism Had Its Day In The ...
Dkspoxism . —Despotism had its day in the history of the world . It waa necessary to bind together into nations , by force and blind loyalty , the first hordes of men . It was necessary , perhaps , to rid Europe' of feudalism , though heavily did the nations pay in civil tyranny , and , what is worse , in spiritual tyranny for unity of government and law . Its recurrence is the natural and just penalty of nations among whom the power of selfcontrol and self-government has been wrecked by demoralisation and indulgence in political chimeras , and the nassions of the animal have gotten the victory over the
reason of the man . But in an England , such as England , with all her faults , still is , it would be an anachronism , a monster , and a crime . And so every sensible , virtuous , and religious Englishman instinctively feels , if he does not theoretically know . He feels , if he does not know , that in casting off political duty , and renouncing his heritage of freedom , he would be casting off and renouncing , not his own personal pride and independence , but that which to every nation which has become worthy to enjoy it , is the law as well as the gift of God . — Fraser's Magazine .
Itinerant Theatricals . —They entered the little theatre , and the Cobbler with them ; but the last retired modestly to the threepenny row . The young gentlemen were favoured with reserved seats , price one shilling . " Very dear , " murmured Vance , as he carefully buttoned the pocket to which he restored a purse woven from links of steel , after the fashion of chain mail . Ah , Messieurs and Confreres , the dramatic authors , do not flatter yourselves that we are about to give you a complacent triumph over the Grand Melodrame of " The Remorseless Baron and the Bandit's Child . We grant it was horrible rubbish , regarded in an aesthetic point of view , but it was mightily effective in the theatrical .
Nobody yawned ; you did not even hear a cough , nor the cry of that omnipresent baby , who is always sure to set up a Vagitus ingens , or unappeasable wail in' the midmost interest of a classical five-act piece , represented for the first time on the metropolitan boards . Here the story rushed on per fas aut nefas , and the audience went with it . Certes , some man who understood the stage must have put the incidents together , and then left it to each illiterate histrio to find the words—words , my dear confreres , signify so little in an acting play . The movement is the thing . Grand secret ! Analyse , practise it , and restore to grateful stars that lost Pleiad , the British Acting Drama . — " What will he do icith it ?" By Pisistratus Caxton . —Blackwood's Magazine .
South Kensingtojt Museum . —After the Queen and members of the Legislature have paid private visits to this museum , it will be opened to the public both in the daytime and the evening , on and after Wednesday the 24 th . Besides the various collections of architecture , sculpture , patented inventions , & c , the Sheepshanks ' pictures will be exhibited in the new gallery erected expressly to receive them . The admission of the public to the museum lighted up in the evening , is the first experiment of the kind with a public institution , and it is hoped will be acceptable to those who work in the daytime .
The Postage of Newspapers . — We understand that the Lords of the Treasury have sanctioned the proposal submitted by Mr . John Francis to the Chancellor of the Exchequer for stamping the covers of newspaper agents with an impressed stamp , having a rim attached expressing the name and address of the sender . Authority lias also , we learn , been given to the Board of Inland Revenue to make a new stamp denoting a 8 d . rate of postage—a stamp that will prove of special service in respect to the large number of newspapers now transmitted to India via Marseilles . — Times .

London , Friday Evening , June 19 , 1857 . English and Foreign Stock and Share Markets have a healthier appearance , and although but very little business is transacted better prices may be looked for . The lowering of the rate yesterday to l > per cent . * applicable alike to discounts as to loans on securities , has improved the tone of markets generally . Money is comparatively easy , and it is hoped and expected the drain of silver to the East will not be so extreme for the latter as for the first half of 1857 .
