MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CI LY, Two O'CLOCK. Business to-day on the Stock Excha• go, not withstanding the improved state of the weather, has been very dull ; there" are plenty of sellers, but buyers act with the greatest caution. In Telegraph shares Construction and Maintenance are very flat, upon its becoming known that the Meet in the French cable is sufficiently important for a deposit of £20,003 in securities to have been required to be made by the Construction Company for repairing it if called upon to do so within two years. Consols are now at 931 to 93- for money; iitto, for Account, 93:1 ; Three per Cent. Re duced, 92 1 ; New I:!,,ree per Cents, 92 ; Exchequer Bills £l,OOO, March, 5 prem. ; June, 9 prem. ; ditto £lOO, £2OO, and £5OO, March, ; June, prem. ; Bank of England Stock, 41 per Cent., 239. In Bank Shares the principal quotations are as follows :—London and Westminster are 581 to 59i ; London and County, 48 to 49 ; imperial Ottoman, to 21 prem. ; Imperial, 161 to 17 ; Loudon Joint-Stock, 32 to 33 ; Union of London, 37 to 38 ; Consolidated, 41 to 41 ; Chartered Mer cantile, 32 to 33 ; and Anglo-Austrian, Bs. to 10s. premium India Stock, 101 per Cent., April, 1874, 212 ; ditto 5 per Cent., July, 1880, 115 1; ditto 4 per Cent., Oct., 1888, 1001 ; ditto Enfaeed Paper, 4 per Cent., —. In the Foreign Market, Turkish Five per Cents. 431 to 431, the Six per Cents. 671 to 661, the former being 1 lower than last night, and the • latte 1. Spanish are 1 lower, at 261. Peruvian are also lower 1 per cent., at 831. Italian are 521 to 53. Egyptian 1868 Loan is 771 to 771. In Railways there is a recovery since the open ing of 1 per cent. in Metropolitan, which is now 83 to 83i. Great Western have fallen 1, the present price being 541 to 551. South Eastern, Midland, Chatham, Bright°, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and Caledonian have declined. Great Northern are higher. The principal prices are :—Caledonian, 791 to 80 ex div. ; Great Eastern, 361 to 361 ; Great Northern, 107 to 108 ; ditto (A), 107 to 108 Lancashire and Yorkshire, 125 to 12M; Lon don and Brighton, 431 to 44i; London, Chatham, and Dover, 16 to 161 ; London and North Weatorn, 1181 to 1194- ; London and South- Western, 891 to 901; Midland, 117 k to 118 ; Noith-Eastern, Berwick, 118 to 1181 ; and South Eastern, 76/ to 771. Great Western of Canada, 151 to 15i ex div. ; and Grond Trunk at 15/ to 16i. Lombardo- Venetian are steady at 191 to 19/ ; and Great Luxembourg, 12 to 121. Telegraph Construction and Maintenance is lower, at 32 to 321. Anglo-American Telegraph remains steady, at 20 to 201 ; French Atlantic Cable, 161 to 161. American Five-Twenty Bonds are 831 to 83i ; Elio Shares, 20 to 201 ; and Illinois, 981 to 92:51. In Miscellaneous Securities prices are scarcely so firm. Hudson's Bay, 131 to 133 ; National Diieount, 11 to 11} ; General Credit, 1k to 1 dis. ; and In ternational Finance, 2to dis. There were no gold operations at the Bank yes terday. The Rhine, from New York, has brought £39,599; the Allemania, £240 ; and the City of Baltimore, from Halifax, £740. The Flamsteed, at Liverpool from Brazil and the River Plate, has £24,000. The specie remittances from New York to Europe are still unusually moderate, owing to the supplies of grain, together with the amount of United States Bonds constantly forwarded. The total of gold shipped this year has been only £5,850,000, against £13,600,000 in the same period of 1868. The Brazilian Chambers have been prorogued without the Bill for an additional guarantee to the Pernumbuco Railway having been finally con firmed. It is believed, however, that immediately on the re-assembling of the Parliament it will be adopted. b c report of the Chartered Mercantile Bank of India, London, and China recommends an interim dividend of 4 per cent. Intelligence has been received of the total loss of the Royal Standard on a sand bank near St. Thomas, on the coast of Brazil. She left Gravesend on the 12th of August last for Melbourne, under the command of a Captain Clarke. Part of the crew were missing, and eight ladies (passengers) were known to have been drowned, while nothing what ever had been saved from the wreck. The ladies drowned were Mrs. llumett and five daughters, Mrs. Lawrence, and Miss Stoddard. Capt. Clarke, his wife and child, and 21 passengers and crew were taken off the wreck by a Brazilian brig. The number of messages through the French Atlantic Telegraph during the week ended the 13th inst. was 906, the cable charge thereon being £2,205, showing an increase of £277 on the pre ceding week. The suspension has been announced of Messrs. James Walker and Co., of Leeds, " in consequence of the depression of trade and depreciation in stock." Berger Spence and Co.'s report says :—" The vitality displayed in the chemical market of late shows no signs of abatement, and prices are very firm ; the alkali trade shares to some extent in the increased business, though prices are not remunera tive. In minerals somewhat more activity has been felt, and values in a few instances have advanced. In the metal market a considerable trade has been done in pig iron, and prices during the week ad vanced, but have closed weaker. All other metals are stationary, with a moderate demand, excepting tin, in which a reduction has taken place." The advises from St. Petersburgh and Vienna still speak of the excess of speculative engagements In those cities. It is quite certain that the recent advance in the Bank rate of discount at St. Peters burgh has been occasioned through this business, and that till affairs become in a more settled situa tion there will be no permanent reduction in the value of money. At Vienna there is now less ex citement, and the effects of the recent operations are gradually wearing off. With the end of the sear every prospect exists of a healthier state of thi ngs. There is a report current that the Chancellor of she Exchequer will be able to arrange the money necessary for the purchase of the telegraphs without appealing to the general market. If this should in reality prove the case the effect must be encourag ing, and the tendency in the rates of discount will again be towards decline. The operators would be glad to be definitively informed on the subject, since this is one of the causes influencing the prices of Government Securities.

Its lan guage is calm and moderate, and presents a striking con trast to the inflated rhetoric of his rivals. He begins by asserting that both electors andmembers were interested in the defeat of the doctrine of le mandat imperatif, that is to say, of the absolute submission of the deputy to the will of his constituents. Such a doctrine, M. Carnet observes, degrades alike the dignity of universal suffrage and tho mission of the deputy. Those can ill defend liberty who are not free themselves. Ho refers to his own former services as deputy, and the share he has taken in political affairs during thirty years as a guarantee for the future, aliel briefly sums up the principal reforms which ho thinks most immediately necessary. The catalogue included in the manifesto of twenty-seven of the principal members of the Left, who assembled at the house of Jules Favre on the 15th and 16th, is more elaborate, and refers, as you will have seen, to a wide range of topics, including the abolition of the oath which has given rise to all the trouble about the inassermentes and the entire freedom of the press. The deputies, moreover, seize the occasion to protest against the mandat imperatif. M. IC(fratry, of the 26th October celebrity, is among those who sign this docu ment. It has Leen remarked as significant of the con scious unpopularity of the Government that it has not put forward a single candidate for the four vacant circumscrip tions of the capital. The Revell publishes a letter from Ledru Rollin begin ning abruptly with a negative. No, ho will not come to Paris in spite of the representations made to him. Paris has to give her verdict, which will be powerful in proportion as it is peaceful. The Empire can obtain that verdict only by force, and any popular out break would serve its purpose well. M. Ledru Rollin sums up his theory as follows : As a principle he would enfran chise universal suffrage, as a matter of tactics, in a war of attack in which the besieged possesses a crushing weight, he would advance by mining under cover of the ballot. There are two parts to play, the one by the electors who will precipitate the movement, the other by those elected, who have taken the oath and must fight the battle in the Chamber. If the electors of the Third Circumscription, who have shown their patriotism by rejecting an apostate, will make an effort in favour of the liberation of universal suffrage, his name is at their service. He who has been for thirty years the apostle of universal suffrage will not be the subject of discord among the electors, and it rests with themselves to decide whether he shall be their candidate; only he wishes they should fully comprehend that by returning a candidate who refuses the oath they may without any violence give the death blow to the empire. A largo meeting was held yesterday in the Salle Moneta at which the candidature of Ledru Rollin was loudly applauded. The Libertd states that some letters sent from London to M. do la Tour d'Auvergne afford convincing proof that the 'English Govdrnment is using its influence to bring about the establishment of an Iberian kingdom, and to induce the ex-King of Portugal to accept the Crown which he has so often refused. On the occasion of her fae the Empress received by telegraph the good wishes of her family and her intimate friends. The telegram of the Duchess de Mouchy was presented to her Majesty on the banks of the Nile; it was placed in the midst of a magnificent bouquet that had been gathered in the conservatories of Mouchy. The Empress has spent a hundred thousand francs in her various dona tions to the French schools and charitable establishments in the East. The France states that when she has passed through, on board the Aigle, the space which separates Port Said from Sue; the Empress will present M. de Lesseps with two decrees from the Emperor, creating him a senator and conferring on him the title of Duke of Suez. Mgr. Darboy will be, it is believed, the real representa tive of France at the Council. He is acknowledged to be a clever man, and his good humour is proverbial. He had a dispute with Pius IX. on the subject of the famous letter that was printed, but he extricated himself from leis diffi culty by his silence. Venezuela is on the eve of a general war. The expedition from Puerto Cabello, under Gen. Monagas, is in the field, but is likely to be disappointed in ending the insurrection at a blow, for revolutionists have been spring ing up south and west, and the war, it is anticipated, will shortly be general throughout the country. Children aro pressed into the service, the equipment is bad, and the soldiers are starved, as there aro no funds. The dreadful disorder of the country keeps money scarce and debts un paid, while poverty and misery are daily becoming more prevalent. As usual, of course, the bondholders in Eng land will be the sufferers, that is, if they have not long ago given up all expectations. A man who styled himself Lord Hubert Le Roy Ainsley succeeded in marrying a Miss Martin of Staten Island. Several American newspapers openly accused this Lord Ainsley of being an impostor, and the young lady's family, fearing that all w.'s not right, did all they could, but ia vain, to break off the match. A few weeks ago they wore married ; afterwards his lordship's history came out and he lovauted, leaving his young wife to repent of her infatuation. It then appeared that his name was Richard Radford, that ho had been a valet to a French gentleman at Paris, that his mother, now dead, was au ac tress in a Berlin theatre, and that his father keeps a livery stable in Loudon. The New York papers moralise on the infatuation of American girls about English lords, just as English papers are in the habit of doing when an English girl throws herself away on some continental impostor but so long as there is glitter in a title it will attract, and will continuo to be thus assumed.

A rule nisi granted for a habeas corpus to bring up Flint and Fitzgerald, came on for argument be- fore the Lord Chief B:►rou and Barons Pigott, Bramwell, and Cleasby to day. The question was whether an adjournment by two Commissioners in the absence of the third' who had gone to discharge his duties as revising :bar rister, was informal and illegal, and if so whether it put an end to their authority under the com mission. The. A ttorney- General contended that the alleged illegality of the adjournment by two commissioners was against the letter as well as the whole scope and tenure of the act. The Solicitor-General followed on the same side, and the arguments are likely to occupy two days. POLICE I NTELLIGENCE.-7hts Day. BOW-STREET. SERIOUS CHARGE.—Charles Jones was placed at the bar charged with assault and robbery. It appeared that a gentleman named Bartlett hired a cab, and of four men who were with him, three got inside, one of which was the prisoner, and one outside. After riding about for some time, the cabman was alarmed by hearing cries of "murder." He immediately pulled up, and Bartlett said the man had tried to strangle and rob him. The cab was searched, and a watch ani chain was found lying on the mat, which Bartlett said was his, and as he had got his property ho would not charge the man. In consequence of the death of Bartlett taking place a short time after the assault, the prisoner was taken into custody. Ransom, the cab-driver, said his cab was engaged by some men near the Farringdon-road in the evening of the Ist instant, and after driving the men about until 1 a.m., whilst proceeding along the Strand he heard a cry of "murder" and "police" proceed from the cab. He imme diately pulled up, and two of the mm opened the door of the cab on the off side and got out as ho was pulling up on the near side. The police came up and a gentleman was taken cut who said he had been robbed. Tho cab was searched, and a watch and chain found on the bottom of the cab. The gentleman said the prisoner had tried to strangle hint in the cab ; but as he had found his watch he would not charge the men. He was driven home, but he died in a few days after. Mr. Dixon, a surgeon, said ho had made a post mArten examination of the deceased, and found the internal parts of the deceased's throat much swollen, but the appearance he saw were not at variance with natural c 'uses. Ilia death might have resulted from coinsey. He did not find any external marks of violence on the throat of the deceased. Mr. Vaughan said, after hearing the evidence of the sur goon, he should not 1 ommit the prisoner on the capital charge, but he should send him for trial for assault and robbery.

April and Oct ; ,lOO MARLBOROUGH STREET. A STRANGE FANCY.—Mr. Albert Broagham Kenrick, gentleman, of No. 89, Winchester-street, Pimlico, was charged before Mr. Mansfield with being drunk and as saulting John Shackleton!, porter at a wine and supper rooms, No. 226, Piccadilly. The complainant said that, while at his employer's last night, the defendant accused a lady of stealing a feather out of his hat, and he we:A oat to charge her. On being refused re-admission, as he was drunk, he tore his coat and struck him. The defendant said his feather was taken from his hat by a female, and he went for a constable, as she refused to give it up, and on teturniug he was not allowed to go into the place, and was struck by the complainant, and he re turned the blow. Claricoat, 26 C R, produced a rod feather, and said that the defendant, who was drunk, said ho had purchased it in the Burlington Arcade that day for 2s. Mr. Mansfield said that nothing was more likely than that females frequenting the neighbourhood of the Hay market, seeing a man walking about with such an extra ordinary feather in his hat, should take it, if only for a jcke. The defendant would have to pay ss. BEGINNING EARLY. - Joseph ilislop, in the employ of Mr. Ansel!, butcher, 19, Lumber -court, Seven Dials, was charged before Mr. Mausfield with stauliug some meat, the property of his employer, and Susan Murray was charged with receiving the same.

THAMES. FAMILY SUICIDE 31amA.—Angal Campbell, aged 14 years, was charged with attempting to commit suicide. His father, a stevedore, shot himself a year ago, and the prisoner, a sharp, well-informed lad, has been since in charge of gangs of men on board ship. On Sunday night a police-constable of the H division met four lads carrying what appeared to be the lifeless body of the deceased towards the surgery of a respectable practitioner named Loane, who advised that ho should be taken to the hos pital, where the stomach pump was used and a quantity of laudanum was dislodged from his stomach. He has re mained under medical care ever since. It appeared that he pursued his studios at school and was a zealous scholar and when ho was not at school he was at work. Ho told the police-constable who conveyed him to the hospital that he had taken 4d. worth of laudanum because he was out of work several weeks and was driven to despair. Several persons saw the prisoner take the laudanum in the street. Mr. Benson said it was a very melancholy thing for a lad who appeared to be possessed of some talent and energy and a desire to learn should be giving way to de spair. Ile really thought there must be some mistake. The prisoner appeared to be more like 18 than 14. The mother of the prisoner said he would be 14 on the 28th of December next. Mr. Benson said the prisoner would be well taken care of in the House of Detention, to which place he remanded him for a week. A Docx THlEF.—George Wilson, a noisy and talkative fellow, was charged with being on board the ship Walter Hood, in the West India Dock, with intent to commit a felony. Mr. Benjamin Batt, chief mato of the Walter Hood, hear ing a noise in the cabin went there and saw the prisoner concealed. Mr. Charles Dong, Into chief officer of the Dock police, went on board and found the captain's chest opened and many of his things, some of considerable value, strewed about the floor. He asked that the prisoner might be re manded for inquiry. The prisoner said he belonged to the ship Countess, and was put on board the ship Walter Hood in mistake, and that he was no thief and no felon, and ought not to be detained. He then delivered a long speech, and called upon the magistrate to discharge him then and there, instantly and without hesitatior. Mr. Douglas said that no ship named the Countess was in the dock. Mr. Benson, in spite of the prisoner's loud and energetic) protests, remanded him for a week. DEBENHAJI'S Vow. By Amelia B. Edwards, author of "Barbara's History," &c. 3 vols.--" We are always glad to hail with the heartiest welcome any novel from the pen of this accomplished writer, and the work now under review is one certainly most deservedly to be received after this manner, because of its being one of the cleverest, if not the cleverest, she has ever written. The subject is as well conceived as it is distinctly brought out. We commend Debenham's Vow' to the perusal of our readers, for a more interesting and edifying book wo have rarely had the good fortune to meet with."—Messenger. TIIE SUEZ CANAL.—Mr. 11 yld, the Queen's geo grapher, has just published an official map of the Suez Maritime Canal, which at the present moment is a matter of great interest. The map is beautifully produced, all the chief points are clearly set out in brilliant colours, and thus an opportunity is given to the public at large to fully understand and appreciate the difficulties that have bee❑ encountered. The map will be found a complete key to the vivid descriptions we shall hays ia a few days of the opening of the great work. BILEAKFAST.—EPPS'S COCOA.—GRATEFUL AND COM FOETINO.—Tho very agreeable character of this prepara tion has rendered it a general favourite. The Civil Service Gazette remarks : —" The singular success which Mr. Epps attained by his homco:)pathic preparation of cocoa has never been surpassed by any experimentalist. By a thorough knowledge of the natural laws which govern the operations of digestion and nutrition, and by a careful ap plication of the flue properties of well selected cocoa, Mr. Epps has provided our breakfast tables with a delicately flavoured beverage which may save us many heavy doc tors' bills."

The " Lady of Lyons," as now performed at the Holborn, is certainly a model play. Every detail has bun carefully considered through out the five acts ; not a single puiut has been over looked, and the result is particularly gratifying. M.r. B. Sullivan's Claude is a masterly performance, and one that cannot but heighten the estimation in which he is held by the admirers of the true dra matic genius. Mrs. Vez:n's Pauline is also a remarkably fine performance, and the other parts are, without exception, all most excellently supported. A stranger entering the theatre might suppose, from the enthusiasm with which the play is received, that it was a novelty, and such a cir cumstance cannot but be intensely gratifying to the enterprising manager, who has had the taste and sound judgment to rely on the performance of pieces of known higL-class merit, rather than the sensa tional nonsense, which in some cases have displaced pieces of acknowledged genius and merit. The high patronage and the crowded houses that have been, and are still being, attracted to the Holborn are in every way richly deserved. ASTLEY'S AMP.HITHEA7RE. Mr. E. T. Smith has again thrown open the doors of this favourite theatre, and commenced his winter season with great succ:ss. He has revived the celebrated spectacle " Mazeppa," the principal part in whichis supported by Mdlle. Lillian. This lady has taken Adah Isaac Menken for her model ; her impersonation of the part is quite up to that of her predecessor, indeed in some parts it is much superior. The spectacle has been revived in all its original splendour, and its representation calls forth the most enthusiastic applause. Mr. Smith also gives his patrons a capital burlesque on the well-known story of "Blue Beard," which is very tastefully produced, and altogether the per formances at Astley's are of a class that deserve very general support. Mr. E. T. Smith is already at work on his pantomime; and, if report speaks true, the production for the approaching holiday season will eclipse all his former triumphs. LOSS OF THE ROYAL STANDARD AUSTRA- LIAN SHIP. Advices received yesterday from Rio Janeiro communicate the painful intelligence of the total loss of the ship Royal Standard, on the Brazilian coast, while on her outward voyage from London to ➢Melbourne. Many of her passengers, chiefly females, were drowned, and several of the crew were missing. The Royal Standard was originally built as a steamer of nearly 3,000 tons measure ment, and made several successful voyages between Liverpool and Australia. Recently she has been converted into a sailing ship, and was owned by Messrs. Wilson and Co., merchants, of Liverpo.)l. She sailed from Gravesend on her present voyage on the 12th of August, with a full general cargo, and about twenty-eight chief and second cabin pas sengers ; the number of people in all on board, including officers and crew, being about eighty. Lloyd's agent at Rio Janeiro forwards the follow details of the catastrophe : " Rio Janeiro, Oct. IG. " Having this morning returned with the pas sengers saved from the cutter of the British ship Royal Standard, Captain Clarke, from Lend ,n to Melbourne, wrecked on the sand bank, running from 20 to 25 miles, off Cape S. Thome, about 151 miles distant by water from this port; and feeling assured that a painful interest will be excited in London when the news arrives there, I address you these lines to furnish you with all detailed informa tion I have obtained on the melancholy subject. On the wreck being made known here at four p.m. on the 12th inst., 1 chartered the steamer Competi tion, and proceeded at once to the spot. "The Royal Standard was dismasted on the 30th September. She was immediately put under jurymasts, and Mr. Bailey, the chief officer, in formed me she steered very well under this tempo rary aid. The captain's intention was to bring the vessel into Rio Janeiro, but just before daylight on Sunday, the 10th inst., and when they supposed themselves far from land, the ship suddenlystrauded on the sand bank above named. After daylight the captain, on seeing the long, low coast of sand about five or six miles off, called the Furago, decided on sending the women and children ashore in the only boat they had left fit for the purpose (the cut ter) ; the other boats but one were stove in when the ship was dismasted, and in this cutter, at about 10 a.m., left the ship w.* i 23 persons, in charge of Mr Bailey, the chief mate—viz., Mrs: Dunnuett, five daughters, and ene son, Harry, Mr., Mrs., and Miss Lawrence, Miss 'Weston, Miss Stoddart, Mrs. Miller, Mrs. Rees, Mrs. Northcote, Dr. Cortes, Jas. Young, the sail maker, and five seamen. All they took with them on leaving the ship was a tin of small biscuits, but no water, presuming they would land in one or two hours ; but on approaching the shore they discovered such a line of breakers that they dared not attempt a landing, till driven to des peration, on Monday, the 11th inst., at daybreak, by hunger and thirst and the horrors of their situa tion, the currents, sea, and wind baffling all attempts to regain the ship. On their beaching the boat Mrs. Dummett and her five daughters, Miss Lawrence, and Miss Stoddart, were drowned. " After much toil and suffering over about 15 miles of burning, arid sand, the remainder reached a miserable hut, occupied by a negro, who, on the following day, took them to the estate and residence of the Viscountess Ararnarno, through whose real Samaritan hospitality and kind atten tions they reached Macalie on the morning of the 13th. " Captain Clarke, wife and child, and 21 of the passengers and crew were taken of the wreck by the Brazilian brigantine Camponeza, and another por tion of the crew and passengers found their way to Rio Janeiro in the Portuguese ship Amelia, whose captain deserved great credit. lie ordered a second attempt to rescue those still on the wreck, and sent his long boat and nine Portuguese, two of the crew of the Royal Standard volunteering. But this boat did not succeed in getting alongside the wreck, when the captain of the Amelia was forced by his passengers to haul away from the edge of the bank ; consequently had to abandon not only the wreck, but his own men in the boat. Fortunately the boat afterwards effected a safe landing on the coast some 15 miles south of Macalie, which they gained on the 14th inst. The remainder of the orew and passenger 3, twelve in number, left the wreck on a raft, and have not since been heard of. I have despatched the Competition, steam tug, to go in search along the coast. " Her Majesty's ship Speedwell, Captain Perry, left Rio Janeiro for the scene of the wreck imme diately on the receipt of the news, and took off the shipwrecked people from the Brazilian, brigantine, as well as five seamen from the stranded cutter. " The Royal Standard when last seen had broken in two. The bow was sunk and the stern was fast settling down in the sands in about 23ft. of water. Nothing whatever belonging to her had been saved." One of the survivors of the crew (the engineer) reached Liverpool on Sunday night, and communi cated the particulars of the loss to Messrs. Wilson and Chambers, the owners. It appears that Mr. Dummett, one of the passengers, was saved, al though he lost all his family. ILI was a sugar broker of Mincing-lane. The names o► his family were—Mrs. Ilentietta, his wile, aged 38 ; Miss Florence, aged lo ; Miss Louise, aged 9 ; Miss Jessie, aged 7 ; Miss Vivian, aged 5 ; and Miss Daisy, aged 3. The other two passengers drowned were Miss Stoddart, the daughter of a clergyman at Camden-town, and Miss Lawrence was from Sheerness. The Royal Standard bad four iron bulkheads. She was built by Messrs. Palmer, at Jarrow, near Newcastle ; she was 255 feet in length, 40 feet in bea►v, and 27 feet 5 inches in depth. The owners are represented to be fully insured in London and Liverpool.

The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and t le short exchange on London is 251. 151. per £1 sterling._ Un Comparing these rates with the English Mint price of lis.loid. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold at the above price is slightly dearer . in Paris than in London CHRISTI MINSTRELSY.—The songs of the Christy Minstrels, who for the last three or four years Lave at tracted such crowds to St. James's have all been collected and published in a complete form by Messrs. Hopwood and (hew, of New Bond-street. Such a work cannot but be regarded with the greatest interest, con sidering that most of the ditties have now become house hold strains with us, and the opportunity of possessing the entire collection will doubtless be highly acceptable. An additional charm has been given to those melodies by ➢lr. Hobson, the talented composer, who has " transposed" number of them as pianoforte pieces, and a prettier or more delightful arrangement of them could not be desired. They form very attractive drawing-room pieces for pro ficionts, and their performance not being difficult they will no doubt becorn groat favourites. Brick.. Fan ... Ciistal.. ~~,r-~
