• 6.4 P zss.ant we would recommend the editor to be a li ttlf more careful in his supervision of the foreign al la: ges, quotations &c. We have several times en • ntered very sicglar specimens of the Gallic t or tgue. After Easter most of the visitors quitted 1 .it , me, three hundred horses being ordered for the ✓ ;ht of Easter Monday alone. The following P acdote gives a ludicrous illustration of the profit tde out of the Signori Inglesi. " THE DOG AND THE SHADOW. ' " An amusing instance of the wish to keep the English to. the last moment occurred on Monday. In the morning it I vas reported in the Hotel des Isles Britanniques to the is dlord, that his cellar of charcoal was on fire, owing to the negligence of a servant, and was gaining such a head the tit would be better to send for les pompiers. 'By no niei .ns,' quoth the landlord ; 'throw as much water as The an upon it ; s h u t th e docr, and hold your tongue. F,igt mri Inglesi w ill a ll go to-night after La Gira.nd . ole is o ver, and when they are gone we will put out the fire , but f th ey h ear o f i t now t h ey w ill qu it here this morning, and get their dinners elsewhere, and perhaps not come back to tl• Le bons e next year.' In this spirit of calcu l ation he acted, at Id elo , :sed the cellar door. But the fire would be no party to the landlord's saving project, and broke out before dame r ; •so the dinners were all spoilt, the pompiers were oblig ed to be called, the Signori Inglesi did leave the house, and the landlord's kitchen was burned down." The , fact of the state of affairs being now so very different that the pictures of that day are hardly recognisabla in the present, adds considerably to the attractions of the volumes. It is strange to read the familiar gossip and easy narrative relating to a country as far removed from the Italy of Victor Emmanuel and Garibaldi as if it belonged to a byegone world. The artistic reflec tions are, however, as appropriate to-day as ever. Pompeii rend Herculaneum are indifferent to the conflicts o f peoples and dynasties ; the Coliseum has seen toot nany ages to fear the steps of years ; and the great masterpieces of painting and sculpture receive srith unchanging beauty the homage of suc cessive generations. As combining in a rare degree the at' tractions of politics, literature, science, and art, ti' .0 work addresses itself to a large circle of xeade ra who will feel for its author the interest in spire d by high rank and great misfortune, accom 132;ni.eil by considerable talents and consistent REILV acyc of principle. itich does she Love? By Colburn Mayne, author ) t " Madeline Clare. 3 vols. Hurst and Slackett. n these volumes the reader will find great iety, and some of the leading personages are eniously introduced to our notice. Ada is not at, all an attractive heroine. She wants decision in th , a first place, and self-control after she has at length ads her choice. Her conduct towards Lionel was Nte rong in the extreme, and displayed recklessness th at almost amounted to heartlessness. Happily sdig h e married at last a man of sense, who was able to sect her erratic course far better than the excit able and enthusiastic Lionel could have done. Some CI the scenes in which she displayed her utter igi f ora eoufsian in almost l g l prudence in money matters are am their absurdity. As it that matters right themselves at la st, one can be all owe d t o s mil e at the e ta'a vagant notions of the young wife, which would Ecttn i have turned her paradise into a pandemonium is n' at checked in time. Clara, the other heroine, l so unsatisfyin g in h er d e meanour. She is serer than Ada, and of more feeling ; but she t i ara the good qualities of her disposition by her s4tation, an d t h us i s as use l ess as Ad a , not f rom "want of reflection, but from a sort of morbid ner ofusti ess, which made her fail in the trying moment 44 1 , d• auger. Sh e s h ou ld never h ave agreed . to let atie Or father go to P ar i s w ith out h er , an d afterwards should have been resolute and decided, instead ;i tryi ng to compromise with an arch-deceiver like b e. aunt. Thi s l atter lady i s an adept in crime of all kinds. and certainly she possess e d, in a f orc ibl e e aree, all those attributes of Energy which the e t ll ,,erla . diesl ac ked. Herfinal discomfiture and sigma. dteat is a striking success in the narrative, and 18 a positi ve rel i ef to the mind of the reader, after havin g been so long indignant at her strata gems and plots succeeding so well. She was all ght in her own toils ; the villain she had bribed turned round upon her, and circumvented her in n. f t r i i b t u t semis her ho ur of success. In this world so complete a !• b e isTidoes not often overtake the criminals; only right and fitting when we me e t with such an illustrative judgment in the pages of Action. It is seldom indeed that a more effective Passage is met with in a novel than the one which relates the scene on the wedding morning. The retribution was also for Philip Helmer, as he was conf ronted by his first w if e ; and thus she, whom had neglected and maltreated in the morning of his life, appeared in the evening of his days to eomfront him and stay him in his reckless course of crime. The author seems almost too lenient re garding this guilty pair ; but there is much truth in the remarks made on the insufficiency of human adjustments in matters of right and wrong, and thus it is forcibly stated :—" Ah, reader, have you made up your mind to follow always only justice in this world ?—then think of what you have decided on. As this world is constituted think of the many hearts you must break, of the many hopes you Must crush, of the many lives you must ruin ; and then think again if justice may not safely be left in the bands of the all-perfect God, and if mercy be not better suited to the nature of erring man." drniand Morton i s a pecu li ar style of character, Nrho reminds one of Wilfred in " Rokeby"— :Nought of his sire's ungenerous part Polluted Wilfred's gentle heart— A heart too weak from early life To h o ld w ith Fortune needful strife. Mrs. Dorrington received another warning in the realisation of her dreams as well as in their destruc tion, for her cherished idea was fulfilled of Clara t 11 : 71 Edmund being united, but it did her no good ; mores'r clay of power was over, her reign of inquity no fell All the sins of her lifetime hidden from her Ut w-creatures were set down in the awful account tO hereafter and while her conscience recalled them h er mind, her judgment told her they were of 4 2 ° ail.

It is to be trusted oz a t t on a future occasion the author may avoid such hi s rei nes, which deteriorate from the effect of elliladmirabl e constructions. " Which does t Love, " apart from such considerations, mu ch much t o attract, much ' to excite, and sio. ca to int erest. Some of the most potent pas 's of human nature are here aptly described, igand a PPropriat e ly d escanted upon. We meet with ustration s of persons who in actual life, form the adventurers who s h a k e ki ngdoms by their machina.- vaatuosiife and the b an di ts and bravos who convulse pia with their plots. Also some secondary people are ably treated o f, as Miss Foster, afterwards ; ° :ivs. Pind er. Mrs. Harwood is an apt representa llon of a soi-disunt good woman, who will work her hen Purpose s , an d sees so many faults in others that a r Own e.re r en d ere d i nv i s ib le. On the whole there good reason to suppose that:this novel will gain PlYroval from the readers of romances, and it de serves it in many parts, for while it evidences the faults and follies of life in strong colours, it also chows some instances of a better and brighter eitat e of things. Thus it can lay claim to the merit of blending a romantic tale with some of the stern lessons of reality that all who mix much in the world must find inseparably interwoven with the most fascinating events and the most alluring prospects. 2' Ae •Pussians on the Amur.

Trubner and Co. although a loading o tato and ono of vast Power, is, in point of civilisation, as yet but partly developed ; while other nations date back their his -1917 to before the Christian era, the history of 'Russia, until the end of the 17th century, was al most traditional and not to be relied on for parti culars.

According to the Chinese . the Sung Khua Kiang, or Pine - Blossom which they consider the head of the Amur, rises from six springs on the north-west slope of the Shan-alin. The Manchu ca ll this river Sungari, Milk-street River. After a course of 300 miles the Sungari receives the Nonni from the north, and assumes the name of Kuenton g, which with the Chinese it retains until it enters the sea. From the left, this Kuen tong receives the Helong Kiang, river of the Black Dra gon, called Sakhalin Ula, Black Water, by the Manchu, and Shilka (Silkar) by the Tunguzian Oronchons and Manyargs. This Sakhalin Ula, according to the Russian rather the Amur below th e mout h of the The view, is in fact the Upper Amur. s L u r ga er ri lk :i m s u ca r l , le o d r, I Mango by the Goldi, and Mamu by the natives near its mouth. The Russian Amur is believed to be a corruption of the latter. If we consider that source of a river situated at the greatest distance from its mouth entitled to the honour of being looked upon as the fountain-head of the whole sys tem, then must the Kerlon in the present instance be adopted as such. The development of the Kerlon (and Argun) to its junction with the Shilka is 1,000 miles, ex clusive of all minor windings, which in the present state of our geographical knowledge of these regions it would be impossible correctly to estimate. The Amur thence to the sea has a development of 1,400 miles. On the other hand, from the source of the Sungari to the mouth of the Amur the development of the river is only 1,450 miles. It has not yet, however, been ascertained whether the Sungari or Sakhalin Ula carries the greater quantity of water. Schrenck is in favour of the former, and if we add the fact that the Amur below its junction with the Sungari mountains the north-easterly direction of the latter to its mouth, we must acknowledge that after all the Chinese may have good cause for maintaining their side of 'the question. The great drawback to the navigation of the Amur is that towards its mouth the river takes a northerly direction ; and although the main course of the river is in a mild climate, its mouth is ice-bound through the winter months, which, of course, is much against the commercial importance of the river. The population of the country is remark ably scanty ; in fact, the resources of the eountry are as yet undeveloped, and it will require the energy of the West to bring its full value to be understood. This work gives a very fair account of the country and its inhabitants, and is illustrated with some good engravings and maps. MONEY 111AEKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. During the past week there has been little change of importance to record in the progress of business in the manufacturing districts. At Manchester, however, the prices of yarns have shown an upward tendency, and p'ece goods are also held for higher rates. The woollen trade at Leeds, Bradford, Hali fax, and Huddersfield has continued dull, and little improvement can be reported in the hosiery and lace trades at Leicester and Nottingham. In the hard ware districts of Birmingham, Shellield, and Wol verhampton, a moderate business has been nego tiated, chiefly however to supply home require ments. About £BO,OOO in gold was withdrawn from the Bank of England on Saturday. There is a moderate inquiry for discount accom. modation, and the rates continue easy. The abun dant supplies of floating capital, and the competi tion which prevails among the joint-stock banks and private establishments, enable the mercantile 31asses to negotiate first-class securities on terms a fraction under the Bank of England minimum of 21 per cent. Continued activity was apparent in the Liver pool Cotton Market on Saturday, and prices tended upwards. The sales were 12 ; 000 bales. The shareholders in the Bank of Egypt, at their meeting to-day, agreed to a dividend at the rate of 7 per cent. for the half-year, ending the 31st of December last, the actual balance being £13,534. At the annual meeting of the Red Sea and India Telegraph Company held to-day, Mr. Marsham in the chair, the directors' report, which has already been published, was received and adopted, and the retiring directors re-elected. Although the variation in the Market for Public Securities to-day has been merely fractional, some indications of heaviness have been manifested con sequent upon the extreme inactivity of business.

ART TAILORING.—At a time when a chro matic doctor has been endeavouring, by experimental bands of colour, to make the pillars of the International Exhibi tion appear crooked to the eye, an enterprising tailor has been trying in vain to obtain space to show a right cunning device by whi c h the human legs, w h et h er " b owe d" or knocked," are made as apparently straight as the Apollo or the Farnese Hercules. The most de sirable c onsummation is effected by the use of a cloth for trousers of a diagonal pattern, which is so cut as to pro duce the effect desired. In this result, a geometric, ar tistic, and optical' knowledge has been brought to bear, which would delight a Wheatstone or a Farraday, As Mr. Cocks, of Cornhlll, the patentee, is moreover yet more ingenious, as instanced by the many beautiful and original productions he had reserved for the Exhibition, we will ingly concede him a corner of our space to do him justice and awaken a little of public attention in his behalf. ~--~-- rim !!SUN; LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY F 417, 1862.

About average supplies of wheat were on sale in the lead ing country markets held on Saturday. Selected samples were mostly disposed of at full prices ; but inferior qualities were rather cheaper. Barley, oats, beans, and peas had a drooping tendency; but flour was tolerably firm in price. The French markets generally have continued flat for all kinds of produced. In America, however, the quotations have ruled a shade higher. _ . Up to our market last week the arrivals of English grain were moderate. From abroad we received 2,705 quarters of wheat ; 3,781, barley ; 5,665, oats ; 480, beans ; 899, peas ; 522, tares ; 1,600, linseed ; 140, sundry seeds; and 5,696 barrels of flour. Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of wheat, both from Essex and Kent, were very moderate, but a slight improvement was observed in the general con dition of the samples. The trade, however, for all qualities ruled inactive; nevertheless, compared with Mon day last. No quotable change took place in the currencies. The show of samples of foreign wheat was moderate. The amount of business transacted was small, yet prices were quite supported. Floating cargoes of grain were in limited request, yet no alteration took place in their value, compared with Monday last. The supply of barley was very moderate, yet the demand for all descriptions raled inactive, at late rates. Malt was dull, and the quotations had a downward tendency. For oats, the supply of which was limited, the demand ruled steady, and prices were well supported. Beans were in fair supply, and slow request at the late decline in the quotations. Peas were a dull inquiry, and prices were with difficulty maintained. The show of samples was moderate. In all kinds of flour sales progressed slowly, yet the quotations were fairly supported.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKEI. For the time of year we were fairly supplied with foreign stock, in the general quantity of which a slight improve ment was apparent. Sales progressed slowly, at barely late rates. The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were very moderate in number, but mostly in prime condition. From Scotland the receipts were large, and of very fine quality. For all breeds the demand ruled very inactive; nevertheless, compared with Monday last, no quotable change took places in prices. The extreme top quotations for Scots and crosses was 4s 10d per Sibs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 1850 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses; from cther parts of England, 900 various breeds ; from Scotland, 450 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 250 oxen and heifers. Notwithstanding that the supply of sheep was limited, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state. However, the prices current on this day se'nnight were supported. The best Downs were sold at from 5s 4d to 5s 6d per 81bs, and nearly all breeds came to hand in good saleable condition, There were a few shorn sheep on offer, and which changed hands at about Rd per 81bs beneath those in the wool. About 100 lambs were on sale. They found buyers at 7s per Blbs. Calves were in short supply and steady request, at full prices —viz., from 4s 10d to be 10d per Sibs. Prime small pigs sold steadily at full currencies; other wise the pork trade was heavy, on former terms. Per Slb. to sink the offal. s. d. s. d. s. d. s. d.

HOUSE OF LORDS-THIS EVENING. The LORD CHANCELLOR took his seat on the woolsack at five o'clock. THE EDUCATION MINUTE. The Earl of DERBY presented several petitions against the new education minute. The noble earl said, seeing the noble earl, the President of the Council, in his place, he wished to ask a question, or rather offer a suggestion, with respect to the course that was proposed to be taken with respect to the discussion on the new education minute When the new minute was first made public great apprehension and dislike was evinced. subsequently her Majesty's Government made some alterations, and as far as they went they were in the right direction, but there still remain many other points which would require the most serious consideration. There was, for instance, the new state and altered condition of pupil teachers • as to the examination of pupils in elementary schools, and that relat ing to the remuneration to be paid under the new code, which was at variance with the report of the Royal Commission, upon which the code was formed. The measure was merely an experimental one, and to come under consideration year after year. He might feel disposed to allow the measure to ba tried as an experiment, but he looked upon it as a permanent system, and therefore it \va , desirable that it should be considered roost attentively by this and the other House of Pariiauent in all its details. Instead of the course intended to be pursued, the subject could be best dealt with if the whole of the provisions were embodied in a series of resolutions when the whole details could be most amply oiscussed in the same manner as that of an ordinary bill, clause by clause. If this cows) was not adopted its resolutions could still Le moved con demnatory of some provisions of the measure, if it was thought advisable to adopt that course. What he wished to ask was, whether the Government would have anyof ob jection to the embodying the main prop osals in a series resolutions which would enable Parliament to thoroughly discuss each part of the scheme. Earl GRANVILLE said he had to thank the noble earl for the candid manner in which he had spoken on the sub ject tha other evening, when the revised code was under discussion. He must say, however, that with respect to the present suggestion of the noble earl, he did not see any reason for a departure fr m the usual course of pro ceeding as regarded the discussion of the new e•lucational minute. He begged to assure the noble earl that there was no desire on the part of the Government to abridge discussion, neither was there any wish on the part of the Government to avail itself of any technicality. He re gretted he could not assent to the course proposed by the noble earl. [LEFT SITTING.] HOUSE OF COMMONS—THIS EVENING.

HARWICH HARBOUR. Captain JERVIS moved an address for copy of the rc►. pert of the engineer sent to inquire into the present state of the Landguard Point of Harwich Harbour : Of any cor respondence between the Board of Trade, the Admiralty, War-office, and Treasury, on the same subject, since OA t Ist day of July, 1861: And of any communications betwe( t either of these departments and the corporations of Ipswi, and Harwich respecting the same. OUR RELATIONS WITH CHINA. Col. SYKES gave notice that he would draw the attel tion of the house to this subject, and move for the produ e tion of any papers connected with it in the possession of Government. ECCLESIA' 'CAL COURTS. Mr. H. SEYMOUR r ' the Secretary of State for tb Home Department, whet. .e Government had receiv( al from the English and Irish lates any heads of a measut .e for the reform of the ecclesia. deal courts ? Sir G. GREY said that the subject had received the at... tention of Government, and a bill had been prepared o D. the subject, which was under the consideration of ate bishops. ATLANTIC ROYAL MAIL COMPANY. Lord DUNK.ELLIN asked the First Lord of the Tree,-. sury, whether he had received any communication fror the Atlantic Royal Mail Company, relating to the preset ft position and prospects of the company; and if so, wheth 3r he would have any objection to state the purport of sue h communication to the house? Lord PALMERSTON said that he had received a writ.. ten communication, but should not at present like to maim any statement on the subject. LAWS RELATING TO BANKRUPTCY. Mr. MURRAY asked Mr. Attorney General whether it was the intention of her Majesty's Government to introduce a bill to consolidate the laws relating to bankruptcy ? The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said it was not the in tention of the Government to introduce any bill such as that alluded to by the hon. member. APPROACH TO THE INTERNATIONAL EXHIBITION. Mr. DAMER asked the First Commissioner of Works whether it would not be expedient to save the expense by opening the road through Kensington-gardens from Bays water to the iron gates in Rotten. row, nearly opposite the Exhibition building of 1862, to carriages, as it was to equestrians during the period of the Exhibition of 1851 ? Mr. CO WPER said the economy which bad been sug— gested by the hon. member would prove in the end to be, very expensive, and he was opposed to any mete temporary roadway to the International Exhibition. STIPENDIARY MAGISTRATES IN IRELAND. In reply to Mr. LONGFORD, Sir R. PEEL said it was not the intention of the Govern— ment to introduce any bill on this subject during tho pre— sent session. MEXICAN AFFAIRS. Lord W. GB AH AM asked the Under Secretary of State. for Foreign AtTairs whether the statement contained in, "the Correspondence on Mexican Affairs," headed f' In closure No, 13," wis correct, that £5OO was paid by th a English Government to a Mr. Newall, as compensation fo r an illegal imprisonment by General Marquez : and, if sc why it had been paid in his case and not in any other? Mr. LAYARD said that the compensation in question. had been paid to all parties that were entitled to receive it., METROPOLITAN IMPROVEMENTS. Lord FERMOY asked the First Commissioner of Works whether any plan had been adopted for the formation of this road to connect Bayswater with Kensington ? Mr. COWPER said that the road in question would pass through Kensington Gardens. There were three modes only for the committee of Bayswater and Kensing— ton. One of those was by a tunnel under the river, a new• bridge over the river, or an enlargement of the present bridge: over the Serpentine. The carrying out of any of the plans. would involve a lage expense Sir C. WOOD said that the Government had received: no such memorial as that mentioned by the hon. member. OUR POLICY IN REGARD TO AMERICA. On the motion for going into committee of supply, Mr. BRIGHT drew the attention of the house to the course which had been adopted by the Government in refe rence to the Trent affair. He did not complain of the tine of the communication of Earl Russell, but he dissented alto gether from the conduct which the Government had pursued. concurrently by making a demonstration of military force. According to the theories that had been propounded by the, newspapers that were supr,osed to be the organs of Govern ment, Mr. Seward was desirous of engagir g Unitel States in war with this country, but that was an absurdity, because war could only be decided on in the United States by consent of Congress. The hon. member then proceeded at some length to criticise and censure the conduct of Go vernment in reference to the subject, and denied in the strongest terms that there was any ground for the asser tion made in the English papers that the Government at Washington w,-;.s under mob influence. Mr. BAXTER defended the Gcvernment. Lord PALMERSI ON, in a speech that was warmly applauded, vindicated tile conduct of the Government, and contended that the attitude which it had assumed had been the means of bringing the difforence with the Uniied States to an early and satisfactory conclusion. [LEFT SPEAKING.] LAW TELLIG.ENCE.—(This Day.) SHERIFF'S COURT. DOMESTIC SERVANTS AND THEIR PERQUISITES:r-SMITH T. GRAY. This was an action in which plaintiff, who had been a cook in the service of the defendant, sought to recover a sum of money as an equivalent for kitchen perquisites ac cording to agreement. The plaintiff said she agreed with Mrs. Gray (since dead) for £l2 per annum, ls. 6d. for the wash and 2s. per week for the fat money. This money had been paid very regu larly until recently, and for the fat money for so many weeks the present action was brought. Plaintiff called a witness, who said she had received Mho fat money from her mistress to give the plaintiff. Defendant admitted that the death of his wife rendered it impossible for him to controvert the testimony given. He could only say that he never agreed to pay perquisite money. Sometimes a present was made to the cook to make her care— ful, but it could not be demanded. The Court—A present may sometimes be construed into a right through long continuance. The system of allowing perquisites to domestic servants is both immoral an vi ious. there er leads e t to servants rsite robbinga e y n s rp r l e o c y e e i r v s e , r for a where temptation frequently leads to servants adding about, and arethaeliwr to their store by p ilferin g first small articles and then articles of value. My advice to employers is,—pay your servants good, honest, substantial wages, and say to them, " Now mind, nothing in this house belongs to you," and robberies by domestic servants will soon be discontinued. Verdict for plaintiff. • POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—( This Doll.) MARLB ORO U GH- STREET. TIIREILTENING TO RIP UP A MAN. _William Hack, a porter attending the auction-rooms of Mr. Phillips, Nov Bond street, was charged with threatening to stab Mr. Jefferson, a commission agent, of Leigh-street, Red Lion- square. tt Le t he me grinned r h i n a have d ago at h a i t m m — e, complainant —I purchased some goods at Mr. Phil- The li stsme:Smaturday, and while speaking to a porter the de fendantP came ui,ha The ddesfat seized and di , z d a : t d sa i d, rn e. b y " I'll rip you up."

I was told that he was mad, but Ido not think he is. Defendant—There were 20 of these eommissien agents. Did you (to the complainant) try to throw me down stairs, and did you not say you would knock my eyes out ? The complainant—No. Darbyshire, of 118, King's-road, Chelsea, con firmed some of the complainant's statement, and said there was a regular row in the rooms, and Mr. Phillips ordered the defendant to be turned out. He hoard the defendant threaten to rip up the complainant. Defendant—Why, you will say anything. You have robbed the magistrate. The witness Darbyshire said he saw the defendant "roll" into the complainant. Mr Tyrwhitt asked the witness what he meant by " rolling" into the complainant, and the witness said ha meant pitched into him or fought at him. Defendant said all the complainant's friends were ele vated a good deal. They belonged to a society, and be cause ho did not they had an ill-feeling against him. He had to appeal to the magistrates at that court, and on the very morning in question the complainant looked at him like the " old gentleman." He would like to know what he was to do. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Certainly not' to rip up the complainant, and you must find one surety to keep the peace towards the complainant. —ThisTH E i n C q O u U ir 7 w A h T i --- A c h u h T u i A a I L re o 4 N d yCoAcPcuTpAileNd fiveß 0 Bo r x T S d O a y N. s, was resumed on Friday, and again adjourned until Thurs day next.
