Spain is almost as unchanging as the East, with which, through its last conquerors, it is allied. As it is now, in the main, it was in the days of Cervantes ; a; it was then, it had been, speaking broadly, in the earlier days when Christian kings and Moslem sultans did battle for dominion on the slopes of Granada. We behold all this union of pomp and poverty, of superficial civilisation and real primitiveness, in Meltres illustrations to " Don Quixote truth of detail gives additional value to the I work. The artist has fetched out with singular ability all the varied elements of the wonderful story he has undertaken to expound ; and we con gratulate him on an achievement which makes him a worthy companion of the immortal Spaniard, whom both Frenchmen a nd En g lishmen join in I honouring for his genius and his worth. *porting inteltignue. LIVERPOOL AUTUMN MEETING. THURSDAY. To-day the elements were less favourable than yester day, and the result was a considerable falling off in the attendant's, the ring, as compared with the previous days, presenting a sorry appearance. The clouds in the morn ing wore a forbidding aspect, and an hour prior to the commencement of the sport rain fell steadily, gradually increasing in heaviness during the afternoon, rendering exposure to the blinding rain and strong gusts of wind any thing but desirable, and as a consequence the under-cover situation' were all occupied. Water stood in little pools in the vicinity of the stand, and the course in some parts was exceedingly heavy going, so that to-morrow some of the light weights will have • good chance. There was but little doing on the Cup on Wednesday night. Special was freely supported at sto 1, and left off at 9to 2 offered.

Dori ought by this time to know the precise nature of his own genius, and the fittest fields in which to exercise it. He has pursued a career of wonderful variety, and for the most part of great success ; but it is evident that in some subjects he is more at home than in others. Ile has a mar viilltms amount of invention , of fancy, of humour (not genial and enjoyable, like English humour, but grotesque like French humour) , of ingenuity, and o f general pictorial effect. But there is an admix ture of the fantastic in his oompoeitions ; he loves violent cent:seta, a somewhat arbitrary mingling of grandeur and drollery, a wayward and elfish play of oddities, a sporting on the borders of the dialolical, the grim, the fearful, and the weird. He is fond of ugliness and horror, of preternatural gloom and frantic revelry, of enchantments threatening and ominous. Some of his drawings affect one with a sense of nightmare oppression— of sadness, vastness, and wickedness. He is seldom beautiful—he is not often dignified ; the region of plain humanity is rarely his region. For these reasons we think be made a mistake in art when he consented (under, we believe, an ex ceedingly strong temptation) to illustrate the Bible. There is a good deal of force and effect in many of his Bible drawings ; but the force is spas modic, and the effect sometimes theatrical. Dori misses the spiritual elevation and the simple human dignity of the Scriptural narratives. Something of trick is apparent in his figures and his acces sories, and the violence of the means is frequently more evident than the perfection of the result. In " Don Quixote," however, this remarkable French artist has a subject--or rather a series of subjects —admirably suited to the peculiar character of his genius. It presents him with plenty of that wild and impressive scenery which he delights to por tray, and with no end of strange and fantastic ad ventures, surrounded by the most picturesque de tails of costume, arc hitecture, and semi-Oriental manners. He succeeded in the illustration of Dante's " Inferno," because there also the horror is in a manner grotesque, and because the nature of the incidents gave him abundant opportunities for the display of his astonishing mastery over effects of light and shade. But, although in the present instance he may not have equalled the best of his Dante designs, there is certainly a greater amount of ety in the "Quixote " series. He appears van es to be thoroughly at home in the imaginary world of Cer vantes. He has realised it in all its aspects—the humorous, the fanciful, the wild, the romantic, and the actual ; and he has produced the extraor dinary number of two hundred sketches, all re markable, and some attaining the very highest de gree of excellence in this walk of art. We do not say that the work is without faults. The humour is sometimes disagreeably exaggerated, and the fi gure of the Don himself is occasionally distorted and burlesqued beyond all warrant. Quixote, it is true, is an oddity, a monomaniac—a l an tern-jawed, long, raw-boned figure, strange in appearance as in disposition. But, after all, he is represented by his author as a human being, and we are to suppose him not actually monstrous in aspect. In some of his drawing s, however, M. Dori has depicted the Knight of La Mancha in a guise such as no human creature ever could have put on. lie has elongated his figure to an impos sible extent, and attenuated his limbs till, even in their armour, they look like drumsticks. This is particularly obvious in the illustration to p. 22, where Don Quixote lies on the ground by the aide of his steed Rozinante, after his dis astrous encounter with the mule drivers. Here the figure of the knight is much longer than that of his horse, and is simply phantaantagorial. The same thing occurs in the adventure of the windmills (p. 38), and in some other places. Many of the figures of the Don, on the other hand, are ad mirable. M. Dore has often fully entered into what we conceive to be the true idea of Cervantes hero. The face is that of a man crazed with one Is - setting and fantastic idea, but yet not wholly mad—not devoid of really good and generous im pulses—and, above all things, a gentleman. For, laugh at Quixote as we may, do we nut take him to our hearts as a fine nature turned awry by a quirk of the brain—by a strange, half-ludicrous, half-pathetic, aberration of the mind ? M. Dori does not overlook this element of the pathetic in the midst of the exuberant drollery of the Spanish novelist's conception. Ho never forgets the perfect sincerity of the Don himself in the absurdity of the Don's feats and calamities. He shows us a Spanish hidalgo of the old school, and of the best of the old school—high born, high bred, courageous, chivalrous, honourable, proud but not unkindly, pedantic, ceremonious, and enthusiastic to mad ness. The light of insanity is in his eye; the wan dering gleam of a great, impossible, foolish idea flickers about the old, worn, livid, grizzled face. Nothing can be finer than the illustration to the passage in the first chapter—" A world of disor derly notions, picked out of his hooks, crowded into his imagination. - It is in the highest spirit of fanciful creation and mediaeval romance. Quixote is sitting in his library, reading one of his beloved tales of chivalry. Other volumes lie on the ground, as well as on a table by his side, and you see by the knight's almost maniacal face, and by his brandished sword, that he has fully entered into the spirit of the fantastic narrative he is perusing But round about him on every side—on the floor, in the air, surging out of the darkness of obscure corners, fading off into the gloom of the high ceiling, poising on his chair, peering up into his face, whistling about him in a ghostly en tanglement of forms and faces swarms a troop of the imaginary beings with which he has become familiarised in his readings. Knights in full armour, caparisoned horses, squires and pages, distressed damsels, giants, ogres, grif fins, dragons, indescribable monsters and chimeras, burst out from every nook and cranny. The whole design is informed with goblin life. A similar idea, worked out in a still more wild and shadowy man ner, is presented inthe illustration to page 7—" Ho travelled almost all that day." The Don, in com plete mail and mounted on Rozinante, is seen tra versing a gloomy waste, just as twilight is falling over it. Extending for miles lies the Ilat desolate country, black and ragged, with scraggy trees breaking the cold line of light on the horizon ; and above, in the air, the clouds have shaped them selves into dim, half-defined images and visions of terror, adventure, contest, and enchantment. The phantasmal and vapoury unreality of these figures and scenes, stretching in vast continuity across the sky, and fading off at the edges into gloomy cloud or gloomier light of sunset, is truly extraordinary, and indicates the possession by M. Dori of equal powers of conception and execution. In the midst of these ghostly shapes, and the hardly less ghostly land which he is traversing, the solitary figure of the knight, alone with the fancies of his crazed brain, gives a touching human interest to the scene, though we think M. Dore has made a ms take in placing the knight's back towards the cloud -vision, which, of course, we must uuderstand as simply the creation of his own distempered brain. Many of the designs are magnificent as reproduc tions of Spanish scenery, and we must particularly, mention the dark wood and waterfall in illustration of a paean!) at p. 75. (The text, by the way, speaks of a meadow, watered by a rivulet, ' which M. Dori has chosen thus to intensify.) We have been much struck also by the mountainous scenes in the Sierra Morena, where the artist's skill in depicting jagged rocks and precipices is admirably exhibited ; and the sea-scapes in the episode of Emilia, are full of power and free dom. Of a softer and more graceful order is the sketch of Dorothea, in the habit of a country youth, bathing her feet in a meadow stream • and very charming are the interiors of Spaniel; castles, and the bits of Moorish architecture. M. Dori seems to have studied the scenery and manners of the Peninsula with great care ; we see the hot, dusty glare of the South in many of his sketches, and are made acquainted with the semi-barbariclife of the strange people who still, in the midst of modern civilisation, retain much of the NEW MEDICAL CLUB. tidy 1 FEVER iIOiSPITAL FOR THE EAST END OF LONDON. —The advantages of a Cholera Hospital have been well illustrated by what has been .lone at the temporary pital at Spitalfields.

He rep resented 200 bakers, and there were not six out of that number but were desirous of seeing an end put to Sunday trading and baking. Mr. Knox remarked that Sunday baking could hardly be done away with. Mr. Wilson said he believed the general wish was for the abolition of Sunday trading entirely. They wanted the law as it stood to be enforced. His men worked 18 hours a day, and he could not help thin so long as the sy tem of underselling was practised. He must get ou • num ber of batches daily, and sell them at a low profit, t in order to compete with the unprincipled trader. Mr. Knox said he could afford no help in that direc tion. All he could say was, that the journeymen cep to work an unconscionable number of hours, and trerldtainly thought they were entitled to have one day in the week to themselves. He was prepared to put the law in force in all cases properly proved before him. Mr. Wilson thanked the magistrate on behalf of the deputation, and remarked tes of were the jour neymen were the greatest suff hat the f amilie rers. There only the mothers at home to give a word of advice to the chil dren ; the fathers were always at work. LAMBETH. Six wretched -looking children, who had been taken up by the police on char of begging on Monday last, were brought up from Lembah workhouse for the purpose of being disposed of by the magistrate under the excellent provisions of the Industrial School Act, the 29th and 30th 'Viet., c. 118. Tie poor children, all of whom were under the age of 12, were those belonging to drunk and en, dila pated, and reckless parents, residing in Kent-street other low localities, who turn them out with a broom or a few boxes of matches, but, in point of fact, to beg and bring them home money to get drunk with. In proof of this, Mr. Inspector Heath was examined, who said that w hen brought to the station-house two of the children told him that their father regularly waited their return to take from them every halfpenny they had, and then got drunk with it. if proof were wanting to show the benefit and necessity of removing these wretched little beings out of such hands, it would be amply supplied by the wonderful difference that even three or four days in the workhouse made in their appearance. The parents of the little pri soners were present, and expressed an anxiety to have them back; but when questioned by the magistrate, none of them could show that they were in a position to sup port them, and their anxiety, therefore, to get them restored was that they might be able again to send them EQUITY COURTS.—Nov. 8. (Before Viee-Chancellor Sir J. Stuart.) MAXWELL V. 110G0.—HOGG V. MAXWELL. These were injunction suits. In the former the plaintiff, John Maxwell, sought to restrain the defendants, Mans. Hogg, from selling or ad vertising for sale any magazine called Br/gnat - it' ; and from selling or advertising for sale the September number of their magazine called Beigraria. On the 11th June last Mr. Maxwell (the plaintiff in the first suit) caused his name to bo registered as the proprietor of the oopyrifht is a magazine of the before-mentioned name ; and in the Ipsioide Express of the 31st July last he announced that the first number of his Belgravia would appear in October, under the editorship of Miss Braddon, and it had been frequently advertised since the month of July. On the 24th September Messrs. Hogg first advertised a publication by them called also Belpre y they published it on the following day. The plaintiff published tree first number of his publication, Belgravia, towards the end of October. In the cause of " Hon v. Maxwell," Messrs. Hogg s ought to restrain the puUmtion by Mr. Maxwell of his Belgravia. It appeared that in October, 1863, a magazine which was now vested in the Messrs. Hou was duly re gistered at Stationers'-hall under the title of Belgravia. The first number of such magazine was not, however, pub lished until 25th September. 1866, and it was then pub lished as a September number. The question was, who was entitled to priority to the title of Belgravia, Mr. Max well or Messrs. Hogg. Mr. Mains and Mr. Swanston were heard for Mr. Max ' well ; and Mr. Greene and Mr. Morris for Messrs. Hogg. The Vice-Chancellor said that neither of the parties was entitled to sn injunction, and refused both motions. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH.—Nov. 8. Sittings in Banoo.—(Before the Lord Chief JUISICO and Justices Blackburn, Mellor, and Lush.) STRANGE APPLICATION. A poor countrywoman appeared to-day before the court, and made a very novel application. It appeared from her statement, which was not very clear, that some years since a man who owed her some money was convicted of felony, and consequently forfeited the whole of his property to the crown. The treasury promise(' her that her debt should bepaid, and she came to London about two years since to receive the money. She, however, hail not yet been paid, and being in great distress she wished their lord. ships to make an order so that she could be provided for until she received her money. She had been told that the poorhouse was not the proper place for her, and she had no means with which to support herself. She had been to the Mansion-house, but was unable to see the Lord M‘yor, as she wished, in order to lay her case before him. The court informed her that they were very sorry they could not assist her. out to beg. Mr. Elliott remarked that in his opinion the prisoners were clearly the sort of persons coming under the de scription of the act, that they were sent out by their wretched parents under the pretence of sweeping crossings and selling a few boxes of matches, but in reality to beg, and the consequence was that they went -in from bad to worse until they became expert thieves, and thus it was that the public streets were crowded with shoals of juve nile pilferers. Unfortunately there w.s not at present in the county of Surrey any institution to which, under the provisions of the statute, he could send the prisoners, but he was happy, for the sake of the poor children them selves. to say that there were such institutions in the county of Middlesex, and to these he (Mr. Elliott) had the privilege of sending the whole of them. The worthy magistrate then directed that the prisoners be taken to the industrial schools indicated, to be there kept, according to their ages, for two, three, and four years each. One little fellow, being a Roman catholic, was obliged to be discharged, the magistrate knowing of no institution belonging to his creed to which to send him. SOUTHWARK. Soon after Mr. Burcham had taken his seat on the bench a respectable-looking female, dressed in widow's attire, entered the court with an intelligent-looking lad, about 13 years of age, to ask his worship's advice and assistance under the following distressing circumstances. The applicant stated that on the previous day she applied to Mr. Partridge at this court with the lad, who was an orphan through the cholera, and was told to wait on his worship that morning. The lad's mother was seized with the cholera on Friday last, died the following day, and was buried on Tuesday. He was entirely without friends or support. Mr. Burcham asked if he bad a father? Applicant replied in the negative. He died about five years ago. He had formerly been a master tailor in Black man-street, but at his death his wife was reduced to great poverty. Applicant had known her many years as an in dustrious woman, and would help the lad, but she was widow and had a large family to support. Mr. Burcham asked if she had applied to Mrs. Gladstone's fund? Applicant replied that on the previous day she called at the Mare-ion-house with the lad, and after stating the cir cunistanees was told that the fund was closed. As the poor woman died in the district of this court they directed her to wait on his worship. Mr. Burcham observed that there was no fund under his control for such en object. Mr. Satf ord, the chief clerk, assured his worship that there was unfortunately nothing of the kind at his worship's dis posal. There was a fund at the Mansion-house from which assistance bad been granted to the various districts in the metropolis. He would, therefore, by his wotship's per mission, give the applicant a letter to Mr. Oke, the chief clerk at the Mansion-house, introducing the notice of the case to the Lord Mayor. Mr. Burcham thought that such a course would be advisable, and if the Lord Mayor could not grant assist ance from his fund applicant bad better return to this court, and he would see what could be done with the poor lad. Applicant thanked his worship and le tlef the court with • the intention of proceeding at once to Mansion•hous MARKETS.

B. The reduction in the Bank rate of discount to 4 percent. has had not the slighest effect upon to-day's market, which is as dull and cheerless as any reported for some time. Staplers find it difficult to move wool, though in many inAtances they are quite willing to sell at market prices. !Spinners, receiving no orders for yarns, are almoet entirely out of the markets. The little wool required is only just suffi cient to meet current wants. Prices under these circum stanc s are extremely unsettled, and iu favour of the buyer. The worsted yarn is greatly depressed. Spinners are generally quoting lower prices to-day, and find it difficult to meet with purchasers. All sorts are alike neglected. The foreign houses are just buying a few bales now and then. The home trade is becoming much quieter. They have placed a few contracts in 40's lustre, and some counts of two-folds. Prices are irregular, and stocks are on the increase. The piece branch, though richer better than the others, is only very slightly im proved. The American merchants are looking round. Some of the foreign houses are making inquiry to test prices. The home trade continues inanimate. The whole sale houses are selling but little, and cannot be induced to give orders for the spring trade. The aggregate amount of business done, though better than last week, is not large. Prices are not much changed, but in many instances they are a little easier. • - LACE AND HOSlERY.—Norrnumam.—Nov. S.— The lace trade still rules quiet, even for the season of the year, but we believe there is rather less depression this week than last. Yarns are not quite so firm, and this produces a little more tone in the trade. The improvement is so slight that its effects are not generally felt, and all kinds of goods are still very sparingly sold to supply • retail demand, both for home purposes and for shipping.—ln the hosiery trade the demand is rather less animated, but there are a fair number of orders on hand. Buyers for the home market, with a ' due regard to the state of their stocks at the end of the year, are operating cautiously, but the shipping trade is about the same as we have previously reported. Yarns have been firm during the week.—Nottingham Journal. CORN.—BIRMINGHAM, Nov. B.—This day's market was fairly supplied with wheat, and old, also dry, was cleared off at former prices.

The weather is wet, and with a temperature unusually mild, is very favourable for the autumn wheats. The trade has relapsed into great inactivity, extending to every article. At uur market to-day there was a moderate sup ply of English wheat ; fine dry samples supported last week's prices, while dame sad asoosidary sorts were ob tainable on rather easier terms. Foreign was held for fully former prices, but buyers generally kept aloof. Finest barleys quite as dear ; secondary malting and grinding parcels dull, and rather cheaper.

DIMIZERI. Nov.

(Before Mr. Bodkin, Assistant-Judge.) James Wardell was charged with wilfully damaging a picture belonging to Miss Angela Georgina Burdett Coutts. The circumstances out of which the charge arose have already been reported in our columns. The Jury retired to consider their verdict, and after an absence of an hour returned into court, finding the prisoner Guilty. The Assiatzud-Judge said that the court would ill dis charge its duty, after the defence that had been set up, un►ess it passed a severe sentence, which was that the prisoner be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for twelve months. (Before Mr. Payne.) Robert M'Kasky, 33, who was convicted on Wednesday of an assault upon Albert Hammett, a polix-constable, was brought up to receive judgment. Mr. Cooper (instructed by the Treasury) again appeared on behalf of the prosecution. Mr. Inspector Sims, of the I) division, watched the case on behalf of the police autho rities. When the prisoner was placed in the dock, Mr. Payne said he had consulted with the Assistant- Judge as to the sentence he should pronounce upon the prisoner, and he really thought he ought to receive penal servitude, but under all the circumstances they would not proceed to that extremity. If he (the prisoner) had struck the unfortunate man on the head instead of the arm he would have killed him. He would then have been tried at the Central Criminal Court, and would certainly have been hanged. After consulting with several other magistrates on the bench the court thought the ends of justice would be met by sentencing the prisoner to be im prisoned and kept to hard lab-ur for two years, and to enter into his own recognizance/ in the sum of 501. to be of good behaviour for twelve months. The Prisoner—l would rather have five years or seven years. Mr. Payne—Take him away ; the sentence of the court has been pronounced. The prisoner, upon being removed by Tinnoch, the dock warder, said he wished he (meaning the learned judge) had had the lot he bad given the constable. Mr. Payne ordered him to be brought back, with a view of altering the sentence, but the prisoner watt be did nut intend his remark for the court , and the sentence remained as above. The Prisoner—When I come out I shall go to America. Mr. I'ayne—And every goodthing, too. THE POLICE COURTS. Charles Hornsby, of No. 1, Carpenter's -buildings, Lon• don-wall, was summoned for throwing soil down a grating of the common sewer. Henry Parsons said he was one of the sanitary inspectors under the Commissioners of Sewers. On the 30th of October, about half-past ten in the morning, he was walk ing down London-wall, and when he came within about twenty yards of Carpenter's-buildings, he detected a great stench. He waited a few minutes and saw the defendant come to the grating and throw a pailful of soil down it. lie went to the house where the defendant brought it from, in Carpenter's-buildings, and found that the drain was stopped, and they were trying to open it, and this was some of the soil that would not run through it. The defendant said they were opening a dram, and the bricklayer told him to throw it down the grating. He did not know better, and never thought he was doing wrong. Alderman Wilson fined him Ms. and costs. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. Yesterday a deputation, composed of an equal number of master and journeymen bakers, waited on Mr. Knox, for the purpose of stating their views on the question of working at their trade on Sundays. The proceedings took their rise from the circumstance of a number of sum monses against master bakers having been heard at this court, and from Mr. Knox having expressed a wish to be informed whether there was any vindictive feeling between journeymen and masters with reference to the question of working on Sundays. Mr. Knox told the deputation he was glad to see them at the court. He did not propose to speak with them as a magistrate, but as summonses were taken out day after day, if he could make peace he would readily do so. Mr. Pidgeon, on behalf of the journeymen bakers, said before the act was passed journeyman bakers were obliged to work lft hours on week days, and nearly as long on Sun days. For some time after the passing of the act the journeymen found themselves in a tolerably good position as regarded toil ; but since the year 1859 the act had re mained in abeyance, and things had been falling back on the old system. Journeymen were required to work on Sundays, and sometimes for 36 hours at a stretch. In fact the cause of the present movement was because employers appeared to be getting into the system of baking bread on Sundays. The breakers of the law bad been summoned before magistrates at Lambeth, Westminster, Southwark, and Woolwich, who bad carried out the law in Its in tegrity, and the result was that in those districts the system had dropped, and journeymen were enabled to enjoy some portion of their Sunday. At the Mansion hoese Alderman Lusk had inflicted a fine of only 21. fid. ; but had stated that if fresh cases were brought before him he would inflict the full penalty. Now. on the part of the journeymen, he begged to say that the object was not vindictiveness towards employers, or any wish to punish them for wrong-doing, but as the men worked hard for six days in the week, to get for them as much leisure as possible on the seventh day. He did not wish to make any remarks about Sunday takings. Lord Brougham and others considered that the system of baking dinners on Sundays relieved • great many poor people from the necessity of cooking, but he wished, and the body of journeymen wished, to prevent bread being baked on Sundays—a serious matter, as it com pelled journeymen to work on Saturday nights as well as Sunda. Mr. Knox wished to know what would be the effect of not baking bread on Sundays. Mr. Pidgeon—The journeymen would have one day to themselves. They would get away on Saturday night, some on Saturday afternoon, and would be able to go to their homes and beds. Mr. Knox thought that the journeymen did not seek to attain anything that was irrational. Mr. Mackintosh said that although • master he was per suaded the men had no vindictive feeling towards the mas ters generally, and he would go further, and say that the masters wished for the same object as the journeymen were seeking. The whole trade, with the exception of five or six masters, desired to see the system of Sunday trading done away with altogether. The old system, which it was hoped had been done away with, was now again reviving, and would become established if not checked. A master baker bad recently lost a very good customer because he would not amply him with hot bread on Sundays. The customer went to a French baker, who agreed to furnish hot bread without making any demur. He might say that the greater part of the masters and the whole body of men were desi rous of getting Sunday trading done away with. Mr. Blackmore, formerly president of the Journeymen Bakers' Association, said the French bakers established in London were the obstacle, for they bad no scruples in selling bread on Sundays, to the injury of the English bakers. The masters were favourable to the Sunday closing movement. but their difficulties were as great as those of the josznamea.
