The sale must be governed by the lex loci of the goods saved, and not by the lex loci of the domicile of the consignor or con signees. The Captain was acting within the limits of his delegation in selling the cargo. The case is not concluded. I id 11 I )0 5 101 i 102 d 5 5 id a id par t Do. Jubbulpore D 0.44 p.c.

TIIE.CIIARGE AGAINST SMET)IIIRST. Mr. Sleigh applied to the learned judge to fix the trial of Thomas Smethurst, for the first thing ta-morrow morning. There were a great many witnesses in attendance, and as it was not at all likely the case which stood in the list for Il 191 20 L 2 Old d 5 It I d Do. Indus. St. Flo. , :0 St. Andrews & Quebecl tO Trinidad(Limited) Scrip that morning would be reached in tim3 to be proceeded with, it would be a great convenience to all parties if it was fixed for to-morrow morning. Baron Bramwell---Why is it in my list at all ? I thought the cases of bigamy were tried in another court. Is there any special reason why I sho u ld t a k e it? Mr. Clark (on the part of the prosecution)—lt is by no arrangement of mine that it is in your lordship's list. Baron Bramwell—lf it is to remain in my list I have no objection to try the case, but I have some doubt about fix ing it for to-morrow. It may be reached to-day. My brother Byles, who is detained at Westminster, has not yet arrived, and without consulting him I don't feel dis posed to make any arrangement in the matter. He will, however, be here later it the day, when the matter can be again mentioned ; in the meantime let some inquiry be made to [see why the case cannot be taken before some other judge. Mr. Ribton said, under such circumstances, he should not trouble the jury further. The Recorder then summed up the evidence, and after a short deliberation the jury returned a verdict of guilty of a common assault, but strongly recommended him to mercy. Mr. Robinson, on the part of the prosecution, joined in the recommendation. Miss Astell was then called, and said she saw Mr. Hen derson respecting the charge against Mr. French on the morning after it occurred. He referred to the assault, and asked what sort of an offence it was, and I told him. [The witness here burst into tears, and was incapable for some minutes of farther examination.) The defendant, Hender son, offered me £8 not to appear. He said it was all settled. and I need not trouble myself further. I did not attend. Mr. Henderson remained about half an hour. A paper was served upon me. I gave it to Mr. Henderson. He did not return it. I never saw it again. I can't say whether the paper produced is the same one. Carpenter brought it. Mr. Henderson called again on the Tuesday. I told him about the paper, and he said I was t 6 go away ; and I think he said the summons was a mere nothing. I again saw him, when he said he thought it would be better for me not to go away. By Mr. Giffard—He asked me if it was a serious affair I said "No," and he then gave me the £B, which I re• ceived as compensation. The Recorder stopped -the case, and said the charge could not be supported, and that being so, they would re turn a verdict of not guilty. The jury did as the learned Recorder directed, and Mr. Henderson left the Court. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. PROGRAMME OF CROYDON STEEPLECHASES, FRIDAY, DEC. 2.

Re-examined by Mr. Robinson—l was persuaded to take he money. Defendant made no remark when he placed his hands on my knee. Mr. Penny, the guard of the train, said—l saw the young lady on the night in question. She was crying bitterly. She said a gentleman (pointing out Mr. French) had been taking liberties with her. I put the young ladyin another compartment, and locked the door of the carriage in which defendant was riding until we arrived at New- cross. Police-constable Smith said—l was on duty atthe New cross-station on Sunday, Oct. 20. The young lady gave Mr. French in custody for an assault in a railway car riage. He replied, " For God's sake, don't do it; it will be the death of my wife and my utter ruin." The young lady said her uncle would be very angry with her if she did not do so. He said, "For God's sake do not say so." He then again said he had done very wrong. He' offered the young lady £2O and £lO to any charity if the charge was withdrawn. George Cookson said—l had charge of the New•cross station on the night in question. The prosecutrix com plained to me of the conduct of Mr. French, and I took them both into my office. Mr. French said he was very sorry. The complainant said, " I gave you no liberty, and you had no right to take liberties with me." Mr. French then said he was very sorry for what he had done. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine then made a very forcible appeal to the jury for the defendant, and said it appeared to him as if the act had been done without any impure feeling, and if the jury should be of that opinion, it would be their duty to acquit the defendant. A long list of witnesses were then called, amongst whom were the following : Mr. William Archer said he had known Mr. French for 25 years, and during the whole of that time his character for morality and probity had been irreproachable, both as a father and husband. Ho was the last man who he thought would be guilty of any act of indecency. Mr. W. Bartholomew, solicitor, of Gray's-inn, said he had known the defendant from childhood. His conduct as a father was irreproachable, and morals exemplary. The Rev. H. Niven, clergyman, had known defendant for 18 years. Had never known him utter an immoral word during that time. Mr. James Jones, solicitor, of Doncaster, had known the defendant for 30 years, and considered him quite incapable of doing anything improper. His moral character was irreproachable. Mr. John Poole, architect, of Guildford-street, Russell square, had known the defendant for 20 years, during tho whole of which time he was of the highest respectability. The learned gentleman was proceeding to call a number of other witnesses, when The Recorder said he did not think it was necessary to proceed further with witnesses as to character, as it was clear the defendant was a person of the highest respecta bility. The Recorder said before he passed sentence he wished to consi ter the subject. The defendant might be admitted to bail to appear to-morrow morning to receive sentence. CHARGE AGAINST MR. HENDERSON FOR MISDEMEANOUR. An indictment was preferred against Mr. Henderson, a surgeon, charging him with dissuading Miss Astell from giving evidence in the case. Sergeant Ballantine, Giffard, and Mr. Ribton for the defence. The defendant pleaded not guilty. Mr. Robinson, in opening the case, said he appeared on the part of the Brighton and South-Coast Railway Com pany to prosecute the defendant, who was a married man, and a person of great respectability, carrying on business at Cornhill as a watchmaker. The prosecutrix was a young lady of great respectability, and it . was while an ex cursion train was on its return from Brighton to London that the assault which led to the present indictment was commidid. The learned gentleman then called Mr. W. Astell, who said—l reside at London-road, Brighton. My niece, the prosecutrix, came down to me on the Sunday, 30th of October, by an excursion train. On her returning to London I went to the Brighton terminus, and saw a gentleman who I know now to be the defendant. asked what time the train would arrive at New-cross, and he then said if the young lady was going there he would see her there safely. He said I need have no fear as he was a respectable man and the father of a family. By Sergeant Ballantine—l am not directing the prcsecu tion. I have had nothing to say one way or the other. I 'Miss Maria Astell said—On Sunday the 30th of October I went to Brighton in the excursion train at six in the evening, on my return to London. I saw Mr. French at the Brighton terminus. I and Mr. French got into a third class carriage. There were other persons present. After the train started we began to talk about the country and afterwards love, he remarking what a nice place a railway carriage was for young men. He then tried to kiss me, and put his arm • round my waist. He afterwards placed his hands in a very indecent manner on my knees. I complained of his conduct, and said I would mention the treatment I had received when the train stopped. He asked me to forgive him. When the train arrived at Three-bridges I spoke to the guard, and I was put into another carriage. On arriving at New-cross the charge was made against Mr. French. He offered me £2O, or £3O to compromise the affair. He said he was a respectable married man, and such a charge would greatly injure him. When I got home I told Imy aunt, and de cided, in [order to avoid exposure, not to proceed further in the matter. Cross-examined by Mr. Sergeant Ballantine—l thought that theigentleman having been locked up it was sufficient punishment. The defendant put his hand on my knee outside my dress. The moment I remonstrated the defen dant aPologised for what he had done. I don't recollect his saying he did not intend any insult. There was no light in the carriage. I did not intend to prosecute. I have received a sum of money, and it was not intended to press the charge further. The money has been spent. I know a constable named Carpenter. 1 went down into Warwickshire in order not to have anything further to do with the matter. As far as I was concerned I considered it settled. I don't know whether his hand was placed on my knee by accident. I believed at the time he meant to insult me. r.WAYS. 4i 4f —A 5 I I id LII I i II ill 2I ail 1 d 15 4; 41 el , ,11 25i 36 71 72- - 11 2-P .11 SI SI 11 19 20 tll 37 886 12 p tll 9 10 tll 356 36 al 54 16 .3 21 11 d 8 Lit 9 20 2( ti 10 22 23 SECUR: Id Closing ' Prices. 115 118 112 114 112 114 1114 112 k 101 102 101 102 1001 1011 1101 1111 112 114 llosi 110 EOUS.

The trial of this prisoner, who stands indicted for fraudu lent bankruptcy, has been postponed until next session. CHILD MURDER. Sarah Jane Wiggins was indicted for the murder of a male child, three-and-a-half years old, by tying it to a bed-post. Mr. Clark, who appeared for the prosecution, said the prisoner cohabited with a man, the father of the child, and that its death was occasioned by the severe punishment in flicted upon it by the prisoner, who tied it to the bed-post horizontally from seven o'clock on Tuesday night until seven o'clock the next morning. The learned gentleman then called— Emma Scott, who said—l am married, and reside at No. 4, Clarence Cottage, Hackney, the same house in which the prisoner resided. She lived with a man named White, who left her, three weeks before the child died, with three children—two girls and one boy. The boy was about 31 years old. I last saw the boy alive on Tuesday, thu 22d of September. The deceased was under the doctor's hands for an abscess. On that day I went out about five o'clock in the afternoon, and when I returned about six o'clock I found he had been put to bed. Prisoner came home at a quarter to eight o'clock. She went to that room. I heard her go upstairs, and then I heard heavy slaps, as though given with the open hand, but I heard no scream. After that I saw prisoner come downstairs and go out, taking the eldest girl with her. She returned in about half an hour, it being then a quarter to nine. The following morning I saw the eldest girl come downstairs, and at 20 minutes to 8 o'clock I heard heavy slaps above. They were repeated five or six times. I did not hear any scream or cry ? The prisoner was then upstairs. About half-past 8 o'clock I heard prisoner come downstairs, and saw her pass my window in a great hurry, almost running. She came back in a quarter of an hour, went upstairs, returned directly, and screamed at the top of the stairs. I went to my door and asked " What is the matter ?" She replied, " Oh, my little Jemmy has gone." I said, " Oh, dear me ; not dead ?" and she answered, " Yes ; go and see." I ran up. and saw the child with its clothes on lying upon the bed. It was quite still. We both went downstairs, and the doctor entered as I was going out for assistance. It was then about a quarter to 9 o'clock, When the doctor was there she said she could not account for the bruises. I saw the bruises then; and after he had gone she told me that the child had been very weak—relaxed in the inside. I have often heard heavy slaps, never seen them given. On the Tuesday the prisoner told me that during the past night the child had been relaxed in his inside, and made much mess. On the next day, 'Wednesday, she told me that the child had made no snore dirt, and she did not think he would again, as she had punished him. I asked "In what way did you punish him ?" and she answered, " I took him upstairs when the other children went to bed, and after he was undressed and had said his prayers, I tied him to the bedstead, with his hands fastened down." I said, " Oh, Lord, you surely did not keop him there all night ?' and she answered " Yes, I did, until 7 o'clock this morning." Cross-examined by Mr. Poland —The room I reside in is a small one. A passage divides the room. I have two rooms, one up, and the other down stairs. The prisoner had another child besides besides the three I have men tioned living with her. White and the prisoner seemed to live very comfortably together. I never saw her area' the little boy Jemmy. By the Judge—The general conduct of the prisoner to wards the children was kind, but she sometimes slapped thorn. She believed they had food enough. Fanny White, sister of the deceased, said she was nine years of age. She remembered her mother, who was dead. Her father was a gentleman's servant. He left home three weeks before her brother died. After her mother's death, Mrs. Wiggins, the prisoner, came to live with them. Her brother died on a Wednesday. On the evening before Mrs. Wiggins came home and witness went up stairs to go to bed, herbrother was in bed. Mrs. Wiggins went up, and hav ing found that the boy had been crying for water pulled him out of bed and tied ihim to the , bed-post. She made him say his prayers, and then she got on the bed and held him in her arms. She then tied him round with a cord. She tied his hands behind him. She tied him to the long piece of wood which crosses the bed at the bottom. There were four posts to the bed. She tied his hands and feet to the bar, and she also tied a cord round his breast, his head hanging down. (A. model of the bed was produced. From the description given by the witness it appeared that the boy was tied up to the top bar, or cross piece of a four-post beisteacl, and that he hung on the cords which bound him, his head hanging down). After she had tied up the boy the prisoner got into bed. When witness awoke in the morning little Jamie was still there. She frequently heard him " winnick" during the night. She went down to light the fire in the morning, and when she went up again her brother had been taken down. The prisoner took him up and shook him, and then put him on the ground. Witness could not tell whether the boy was living or dead at that time. The prisoner went out, and the doctor came shortly afterwards. A policeman came and witness went upstairs with him. The child was then dead. The prisoner had before that tied him to the bed-post with only his shift on for making a dirt, and kept him them all night. On that occasion, however, he was in a standing position. The pri soner often slapped her brother. Nothing material was elicited by Ur. Poland's exam, nation. By the Judge—She saw her brother after he was dead. He had bruises en his face. She thought they were caused by the slaps which the prisoner gave him. Sarah White, a child apparently about six years of age, confirmed the evidence of the last witness. Mr. Edward Dennis Hucon, surgeon, of Richmond-road, Hackney, said—l have attended the deceased child. Un questionably its death resulted from violence. I have made a post mortem examination. I found the stomach perfectly contracted, an I manifestly without food for some time past, although it had been well nourished. The immediate cause of death I believe to have been by an effusion of blood upon the brain. I found marks of ligature round the head, hands, and body. The j aws were firmly closed, only to be opened by great 'violence. The result of a child being tied to a bed in the way described would be apoplexy. James White, the father of the deceased child was called, and said he left the children in the charge of the prisoner. She behaved very kindly to the children while at home. He frequently sent her money. This was the case for the prosecution. The jury, after a few minutes' deliberation, found the prisoner guilty of manslaughter. The learned Judge said the jury had found a very proper verdict. It had been the habit of the prisoner to treat the child with the greatest cruelty, until at last death had re sulted from hor unnatural treatment. The case was every bad one, and the sentence of the Court was that she be kept in penal servitude for 10 years. NEW COURT. (Before the Recorder.) THE ASSAULT ON THE BRIGHTON AND SOUTII•COAST RAILWAY. Mr. Jacob French, watchmaker, surrendered to his bail to answer a charge of assaulting Maria Astell in a carriage on the Brighton and South-Coast Railway. Mr. Robinson appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. TIM D EDITIO. TRIAL OF DR. SMETHURST. Mr. Joseph Smith—l reside at Rifle-terrace, Bayswater. I keep a boarding-house there. The prisoner resided with me with Mrs. Smethurst in 1858. They lived as husbsnd and wife. Miss Isabella Bankes also resided there in 1858. She quitted my house on the 29th November, 1858. The prisoner left on the 12th December, 1858. The prisoner's wife continued to live in my house afttr ho had left. She remained until the June following. I don't know where she went to when she left my house. I suppose she lived somewhere in the suburbs Cross -examined—I have never seen Miss Louisa Bankes in conversation with her late sister and Mrs. Smethurst. The deceased lady used to call the wife of.the prisoner Mrs. Smethurst, and so did everybody in the house. Mr. Jam es Spice—l am clerk of the parish church of Battersea. I produce the register of the marriages cele• brated in the church in 1858. I find therein a register of a marriage by license between Thomas Smethurst and Isabella Bankes, on the 9th of December, 1858. I was one of the witnesses to Vac ceremony, and Lucy Ambrose was the other. The prisoner is the person married in the name of Thomas Smethurst. Miss Louisa Bankes was next called. Mr. Clark—Will you look at the signature of "Isdoella Bankes," and tell if you know in whose handwriting it is. Miss Bankes—lt is in the handwriting of my murdered sister. (Great sensation.) Cross-examined by Mr. Sleigh—l never was introduced to Mrs. Smethurst at Rifle -terrace. Mr. C. Lafont recalled, and, in answer to the learned judge, said—While my father was living with my mother under the name of Johnson, their relatives did not visit them. They went out together to parties, Dr. Smethurst called my mother by the name of Johnson. I introduced him to her as a friend of my own. He afterwards Waited in a friendly manner. Mr. Sleigh, for the prisoner, submitted that the prof ecu don had altogether failed, as they had omitted to show that Mary Durham was a persoU capable of forming a valid marriage in 1828. Mr. Clark contended that it was no part of the pros ecu tion to prove the first as a valid marriage, as it rested with the defence to show the contrary. Baran Bramwell said he was of opinion that there was a case to go to the jury, but as Justice Byles was in an ad joining room, he would consult him. He had, however, no doubt whatever upon the point. The learned judge then retired for a few minutes ; ort his return His lordship said Mr. Justice Byles was strongly of opinion that there was a case to go to the jury. Mr. Sleigh then rose to address the jury, and after briefly touching upon the points given in evidence, ' pro ceeded to argue that the pardon the prisoner had received was to be taken as a certificate of his innocence of the crime of murder with which he had been charged. Baron Bramwell—l don't think, Mr. Sleigh, a pardan is any more a certificate of innocence than a verdict of not guilty. Loud demonstrations of applause followed this ols3er vation, in the midst of which the learned jimige exclaimed, in a loud voice, " Mr. Usher find me a person 'who is making that noise. Indeed, Twill prevent a repetition of it. It is most unseemly that t ;ach demonstrations should take place in a court of justice. If such things were tolerated their proceedings would soo ta be lowered to th'at of a bear-garden." Silence having been restored, Mr. Sleigh proceeded •rrith his address, and apologised if he had s made any observaaion out of his position as the advocate of the prisoner at the bar. He thought that the marriage which took place in 1828 was invalid, because the Crown had altogether billed to show that one of the parties at least was in a position to contract marriage. • The learned judge briefly summed up the evidence, : and, after a short deliberation, the jury returned a verdi , :t of Guilty. Previous to passing sentence, Mr. Baron Bramwell s aid, as there was a peculiarity in the cause, he would con4sult with Mr. Justice Byles, and his lordship left the court for this purpose. In about two minutes he returned into court, and, addressing the priso tier, said he had been found guilty of bigamy, and for that of fence, and that only, was he about to sentence him. He wished to express no opinion on the charge of murder, as he did not think he ought to take that into consideration as an augmentation or diminution of punishment. But with respect to the last marriage, it was beyond a doeibt the prisoner took a false oath, because when he was as ked if he knew any impediment to the marriage, he replied he did not, well knowing he had a wife then living. Under all the circumstances he thought it his duty to sente ace the prisoner to one year's imprisonment with hard laborer. IIEaLTH OP LONDON DURING THE WEEK. (From the Report of the Registrar-General.) The deaths in London ,continued to increase in the week that ended last Saturday. The numbers registered in the two previous weeks were sum; s sively 1,051, and 1,233; last week the number was 1,307. In the ten years 1849-58 the average num ber of deaths was 1,210 ; but as the deaths co n tained in the present return occurred in a popula tion which has increased, they should be compared with the average raised in proportion to the increase —namely, with 1,331. The comparison shows that the deaths in last week were below the calculated number, but that the difference is not of important amount. The births of last week exceeded the deaths in the same period by 478. The diseases which predominate as the year draws to a close continue to increase. The deaths referred to affections of the organs of respiration rose in the last three weeks as follows :-179, 233, 314. Those caused by phthisis or consumption are not included in these numbers ; they were 132, 157, and 16.5. Bronchitis was fatal in the same period in the fol lowing numbers of cases, 102, 138, and 198 ; pneu monia 60, 64, and 73 ; whooping-cough 14, 20, 30. Of the 198 deaths front bronchitis last week 21 oc curred to infants; 19 occurred at one year of age and under ten ; 10 in the period of life 20-40 years, 46 in the period 40-60 years, 85 at the age 60-80, and 17 at 80 years and upwards. Small-pox was fatal last week in 30 cases, six of which occurred in the Small-pox Hospital. • Al though that institution is situated in the north dis tricts, the east, in which 10 deaths from this disease were registered, returned more them any group of districts. 86 deaths were ascribed to scarlatina, 13 to diphtheria. The former oppears to prevail much in the north parts of London ; it was fatal in five cases in Kentish-town, in five in Islington east. Six deaths are also referred to in Bethnal-green, and four in Mile-end Old Town. Nine infants died by suffocation, two by murder or - manslaughter. A child suffering from inflamma tion of the lungs was treated with a narcotie poison by an unqualified practitioner; a man died from destitution • another from expo sure t o co ld. Of bricklayers 2 died in the week, of bricklayers' wives 1, of bricklayers' children 4 ; of carpenters 13 died in the week, of carpenters' wives 5, of car penters' children 18 ; of masons one died, of masons' children 4 ; of painters 8 died, of painters' wives 2, of painters' children 12 ; of plasterers' 2 died, of plasterers' wives 1, of plasterers' children 2. SUN OFFICE, Seven o'clock. Thomas Smethurst was indicted for unlawfully and felo niously intermarrying with one Isabella Bankes, his wife Mary being then alive. Mr. Clark appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Sleigh a:ad Mr. Salter defended the prisoner. On tho indictment being read over, the prisoner pleaded " Not guilty." Mr. A. M'Crostie—l am clerk in the London and West minster Bank. The handwriting in the register is that of the prisoner, Thomas Smethurst, whom I have known for 20 years. The Clerk of the Court then read the entry from the parish register, which was to the effect that Thomas Sme thurst was married at St. Mark's district church, Kenning ton, on the 10th of March, 1828, to Mary Durham, by the Rev. W. Otter, now deceased. Mr. Mark said he appeared there, by direction of the Secretary of State for the Home Department, to prosecute the prisoner for bigamy. It would be unnecessary for him furzher to allude to the case than to say that in August last the prisoner was tried and sentenced to death for murder, which sentence, however, had not . been carried out. It was during that trial that the present offence was discovered, for it appeared then that the prisoner married a lady named Isabella Bankes, foreaus ing the death of whom he was indicted, during the lifetime of his first wif€, Mary. He should merely prove, what he had stated br witnesses, and then ask for the committal of the prisoner on a charge of bigamy. The learned gentleman then called Mr. William Easter, who said—l am the clerk at St. Mark's Church, Kennington. I produce the registry book of yr.arriages celebrated in that parish during the year 1828. Mr. C.. 1. Lafont—l am acquainted with the handwriting of Mary Durham. The signature in the book is in her hanth.vriting. Cr oss-examined by Mr. Sleigh—Mary Durham is my mo',,her. My age is 52. The prisoner is not my father. On the 10th March, 1858, ray father was alive. Re-examined—Mary Durham went by the name of Johnson when she married the prisoner, and I also went by that name. My father, Mr. Lafont, went by the name of Johnson. I did not know his name was La • font until after the marriage. After that event my father introduced are to his family. Charles Lafont, jun., son of last witness—l have several times seen Mrs. Smethurst (Mary Durham) at Rifle Ter race, Bayswater. The last time was about a fortnight after the prisonsx was taken into custody on the charge of mur der. LITERATURE. The Way of the World. By Alison Reid. 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. This work is one out of the common in its style and tenour. The difference betwen it and the ordi nary run of novels, does not consist so much in the events as in the way they are described, and .there is great power displayed in the sketching of some of, the prominent characters. Alice Ilope, the heroine, is avery interesting study for the reader, and in her isolated life, in a gloomy o:d mansion, she presents a mournful picture of a young maiden's existence, at that :period which is generally the u brightest and gayest. Her uncle Rup er t i s a s t range man, who, notwithstanding his peculiarities, is evi dently well-meaning, and possessed of deep feeling, but under adverse circumstances his better self had been obscured. Alice, on taking up her abode with him, might have effected much had it not been for the inopportune arrival of her cousin Warren, who was one of those wretched individuals who cast a blight over every one and everything the came in contact with. To complete the unhappy course of events that militated against the peace and pro sperity of Hirst Hall. Warren, in his way, became deeply attached to Alice, and on perceiving her re pugnance to him the sentiment changed to deadly hatred, which soon sought out the means of working an awful revenge. One bright episode in Alice's sombre life was her visit to Sumnor Hall, the home of her school friend, Helen Falkland. The scenes here described are sketched in a brilliant and graceful manner, and form a striking an d pleas ing contrast t o th e dull monotony of Hirst Hall. Arthur Leigh is one of the most skilfully pour ti eyed personages met with in the narrative. His fitful course of action, his impassioned energy, con trasting with his haughty reserve, and his apparent genuineness, followed by his false and hollow pro mises, are the apt illustration and the vivid record of the way of some of the world's meteor stars. Alice, in spite of the bitter suffering which his unworthy conduct entailed upon her, met with a merciful re lease when their engagement was severed. She had the sense and the courage to do so herself, and thus most consulted her own dignity, while she acted in the best way for the ultimate preservation of her peace. It was an additional mortification to her to find that she had been supplanted in Arthur's momentary fancy by another of her early friends, Lillian Graham. Lillian was extremely lovely and eminently fascinating, and Arthur's ar tist eye was caught by her beauty, while his sensi tive taste was attracted by her unrivalled grace. She appeared at Sumnor Hall at the time when he had begun to question the propriety of his engage ment with Alice, to whom he was in reality sin cerely attached, as far his volatile nature would permit. It was an attachment that finally asserted itself when too late to cause aught but misery. Years after, when he had long been married to Lil lian, it was the cause of their fatal quarrel, and her early death. Alice who had long outlived her affection for one so unworthy of respect as Arthur, was near to console the last hours of her early friend, and to point to the erring husband and wife the way to attain a more excellent and enduring peace than the trifling vanities to which they had so long sacrificed themselves, could ever bestow. Alice had many severe trials to undergo after she had parted with her gay friends at, glamor, the direful schemes of Warren encompassed her, and she had a narrow escape from a most fearful fate. In an evil hour Harry, the young brother of Alice, returned from college in debt and disgrace ; the stern and inflexible Rupert refused to see him or render any assistance. Alice was nearly distracted and Warren, pretending friendship, came to the rescue, a severe illness kept Alice a prisoner some time, and when she again sought her brother his ruin had been effected. Led on from step to step he passed from gambling to forging a cheque on the firm of his uncle in which Warren was a partner. This was the victory which that crafty man had fought for, and he soon enforced a consent to their union from the wretched sister, as the only means to preserve the brother from infamy. Hap pily, the sacrifice was not made, and the despicable villain was stayed i n hi s sinful course by a power against which he could not contend. A sudden death removed the unlisFpy Harry from the life he had so misused, but sad as the event was, it came more as a summons of mercy, than a message of terror. His sister, while she wept over the account sent her of his last moments by the friend who was alone with him in the solitary hut far away in the back woods of America, acknowledged that he had been taken away from more evil to come. None of the terrors lie had undergone could have equalled the pang of remorse that would henceforth have been his doom had he lived to feel that his selfish course of crime had consigned his sister a living death. These scenes of vital import in the chapters of life's his tory are chronicled in a manner consonant with the subject, and the author in descanting on some of those terrible questions that must be decided, and some of those awful hours that must be passed through in such trials, rises to the height that is due. The chief excitement of the story is over when the death of „Harry has renewed the power of the enemy, and the concluding passages of the story are of a simpler style. Alice was, after a long period, united to Geerge Beresford, who had been her uncle's physician, and who possessed qualities of sterling excellence which far out weighed more brillant endowments and more shining abilities. Alice had suffered enough from the vascillations of Arthur Leigh, the careless disposition of her brother, and, above all, she had seen so much evidence of the want of principle in Warren that she, of all others, could appreciate and prize the appearance of conscientious actions and upright feelings. Beresford had on many mo mentous occasions been of signal service to her, but the machinations of Warren had interfered to de teriorate the influence for good which the honest man might have exercised over Harry. " The Way of the World" possesses many merits in its various personages, exciting events, and 'striking style to attract and interest its readers. There are minor individuals who are ably delineated, as Miss Ross, May Leslie, and Mrs. Mountain and her daughters. The designs of these notable ladies form an amusing portion of the earlier part of the story, and Rupert did well to escape their danger ous plans for his welfare. There can be no doubt that the great ability manifested in this work will ensure it a considerable degree of attention, and those who do not like the peculiar style of the events so much as a lighter class of fiction, will acknow ledge its efficiency of excution and vigorous and animated sketches of social life, and divers charac ters. 7.111 S DAYS MARKETS. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to-day were _ _ _ limited ; but there were several of Monday's unsold sam - pies on offer. The attendance of millers was very mode rate, and the demand for all kinds of wheat of home pro duce ruled heavy, at Monday's decline in value. In foreign wheat, the show of which was good, very little business was passing on former terms. Floating cargoes a dull inquiry. We had a fair inquiry for barley at full currencies. Thore was a steady, though not to say active, inquiry for malt, at late quotations. Oats were in iair request, at previous rates. • Beans sold heavily, but peas were firm in price.

An account was given in April last of a woman, named,Nicocles, of Marseilles, having been found murdered in her own house, and of the drawers and closets having been broken open, and all the articles of value which they contained stolen. The woman had received two iortal stabs, ono from a stiletto in the side, and the other from a sword in the back. Two Greek sailors (the woman her self was Greek) having been seen near the house just before the crime must have been committed, and having also been. seen hurrying away from it shortly after, were suspected, but they could not be found. A few days after, how ever, a jeweller inforxied the police that a Greek sailor whom he knew, of the name of Minasganiskis, had offered to him for sale a ring with stones of dif ferent colours ; also part of a chain and part of a gold chatelaine, and that he had detained them from the belief that they might he part of the booty taken from the house of the murdered woman. The articles were recog nised as having belonged to the woman, and accordingly the Greek was arrested. He pretended that it was a ship mate of his, named Mikalopoultia, who had murdered the woman, and given him the things to induce him not to tell. Not only, however, was this story improbable, but a short sword belonging to him (Min asgan iki s ), w hi c h wa s similar to that with which the woman appeared to have been stabbed, was found in his lodgings. Shortly after Mikalopoulos was arrested, and in his possession were found fragments of a chain and of a chatelaine, which were evidently part of those offered to the jeweller; likewise a ring, which was recognised as the woman's pro perty, was found on him. In addition to these facts per sons who had seen the two Greeks enter and leave the woman's said that the two persons exactly resembled them. Three days bark the men were brought to trial for the mur der before the Court of Assizes of Marseilles, and being con victed with extenuating circumstances, were sentenced i• hard labour for life.
