We are glad to see in the present work that the author has taken the advice given hin from more than one quarter to do himself jus tice, and with his unquestionable knowledge of sporting matters to introduce a thorough sporting gentleman, and not confine himself to the tagrag and bobtail of the hunting field, nor to the loafers Who follow a hunt for the sake of an invitation. Mr. Jovey Jessop is decidedliir the most respectable character yet introduced by the author into any of hi s novels, and we trust that he will sustain this gentleman's character to the (-ad of the work. —,--- J'aria Graham. ; or, the Old Nome and the New. I3v Cecil Spencer. J. Blackwood. A simple and pleasing story, narrating the for tunes of a young lady left alone in the world, who devotes herself to works of charity and utility. She resolves upon continuing her single life, and shrinks from the thought of change. However, she meets with a gentleman wl to is about to emi grate to Australia, who induced her to change her Mind. She becomes his wife and accompanies him to his new home. We have some agreeable pic tures of colonial life given us, taid the tale ends by le aving the hero and heroine in doubt wheth er or no t hey shall avail themselves of a favourable oppor tunity of returning to their native country. There is nothing very striking in its pages, but it gives s ome pleasing pictures of home and colonial life. 1110NE17 MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. Advices from the various ma nufacturing districts mention that during the past week there has been little change of importance in the general tendency of business. The woollen trade, at Leeds, has been i nactive, but the manufacturers were tolerably em ployed upon contract orders. At Manchester billsiness has been dull, and the inquiries for the home trade and for exportatio n have been unim- Portant. A steady inquiry has prevailed for wools and yarns at Bradford, and the hosiery trade it Leicester has continued At Birmingham, keffield, and Wolverhampton there has been little Change in the general aspect of affairs. In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday a Nall amount of business was transacted, at previ ous rates; The sales were about 4,500 bales. The Railway Share Market closed quietly, and prices Vcre lower. .A further sum of £ll,OOO m'as withdrawn from tilt , Bank of England'on Saturday. The sum of £14,688 was paid into the Indian Treasury on Saturday to the credit of the Madras Irrigation and Canal Company, making, with pre- Vious deposits, a total of £490,458. The Directors of the Punjaub Railway have, in compliance with the wishes of the shareholders, resolved to make a call of £2, payable at the end of June, and of £3 at the end of September, instead of one demand of £5. Notwithstanding the large amount of accommo dation obtained last week the demand continues active, and it is imagined that the market will retain a very animated appearance until after the liquidation of the commercial amounts on the 4th last. is completed ; even then the stringency now eXperienced may be prolonged,, as the dividend Payments, which are expected to produce relief, will riot come into operation until some days after. During the month of March the amount paid for dividends on English mining shares was £44,106. By the Cape mail, just arrived, intelligence is brought of the steam transport Powerful, Captain Richards, from London to China, belonging to the Greek and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, 'which arrived at Simon's Bay, Cape of Good Hope, 0 11 February 20th, after a fine run of 16 days from Ascension. The steam transport Thunder, No. 1, bad also arrived at Simon's Bay. The Powerful made the passage from the Downs to Simon's Bay 12142 days, including stoppages at the various coal ing stations. The English Stock Market at the commencement of the business was in a dull and d epressed condition, " ntil lUed sales being encouraged by the state of foreign politics, the irritation created by the opinions expressed in reference to the Savoy ques tion, and the stringency felt in monetary circles Rusin ess has been transacted in Consols at 93 l 941 for money, and 94 to 94k for account. 41 ' t eeovery, however, has since taken place, the Quotations being 941 I and 94 1 d -.I respectively. In ia Stock receded to 218 ; ditto New Loan, to 1041 I; ditto 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper, to 971 1 ; ditto 51 por Cent. ditto, is heavy, at 1031 ; and the De bentures are 931 ; Exchequer Bills are 15s. to 18 s. prem. A fair amount of business is recorded in the Foreign.

The New Brazilian Loan is marked 11 to dis. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are 21 to 3 prem. ; the Universal ditto, to 1 prem. ; and the Buenos Ayres Railway, 2 g prem. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been limited, and the few transactions entered into have shown increased heaviness. South-Western and South-Eastern have declined ss. ; Caledonian, and Edinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, 10s. ; and Midland, 15s. ; Brighton, North-Western, and Great Western brought about former rates. The Foreign lines have been neglected. Lom bardo-Venetian are flat at 11;. In the Colonial Markets lower rates are cur rent. East Indian have declined to 1012 101 i ; Grand Trunk of Canada to 341- ; Groat Indian Peninsula to 981 ; and Punjaub are steady at 43 to 41.

The supplies of wheat on sale in the ;leading provincial markets held on Saturday were only moderate. Compared with the early part of the week there was much less ac tivity in the demand ; nevertheless no change of import ance took placa in prices. For all spring corn the inquiry ruled firm at extreme currencies. Most of the continental markets continued steady for wheat on rather higher terms. In spring corn, for for ward shipment, an extensive business has been transacted at extreme rates. Both wheat and flour have been rather heavy in the United States. The arrivals of home-grown produce up to our market, last week, were limited, and the imports were trifling, viz , 731 quarters of wheat, 1,540 barley, 1,590 oats, 630 beans, 75 peas, 590 tares, 12,665 linseed, 6,730 rapeseed, 650 maize, 65 sundry seeds, 73 sacks, and 169 barrels of flour. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market, this morning, coastwise and by land-carriage, were again limited ; ho wever, the show of samples of both red and white qualities was small. Notwithstanding that the attendance of millers was by no means extensive, the demand for all kinds of home-grown wheat was steady, and the bulk of the supply on offer was disposed of, at fully last Monday's ad • vance in the quotations. We had a very small supply of oats on offer, and nearly the whole of the samples were cleared off at full currencies. Beans commanded fully late rates, but the demand for them was by no means active. Peas moved off steadily on former terms. The flour trade was healthy, and prices were well sup- ported. The show of fereign wheat was very moderate. The finest samples sold to a fair extent, at full gestations ; but all other kinds were a dull inquiry, at late quotations. Floating cargoes of grains were a dull sale, at previous currencies. We were very scantily supplied with both English and foreign barley. All kinds moved off slowly, and prices were well supported. In malt, however, only a limited business was passing, on former terms. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

From our own grazing districts, the arrivals of beasts fresh up, this morning, were rather on the increase, and of somewhat improved quality. The best Scots and crosses were in fair request, at full prices. Otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, and, in some instances, the quotations ruled a shade lower. The extreme value for Scots was 4s 10d per Sibs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 2,600 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses; and from other parts of England, 220 various breeds ; from Scotland, 150 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 60 oxen, &c. We were moderately well, but not to say heavily supplied with sheep. The best Downs and half-breds moved off steadily, at very full prices. Most other breeds wore dull, but not cheaper. The best Downs, in the wool, sold at 5s 8d ; out of the wool, 4s 8a per Bibs. The lamb trade was somewhat active at extreme rates, viz., 6s to 7s per 81bs. From the Isle of Wight 320 lambs reached us. Calves were in short supply and improved request, at 2d ~ ,o 4d per Sibs more money. There was a moderate inquiry for pigs at full pricer.

The annual festival of this charity tcok place on Saturday night at the Freemasons' Hall under the presidency of the Right Hbn. W. E. Gladstone, Chancellor of the Exchequer. The right hon. gen tleman in proposing the toast of "Prosperity to the Institution," said the society is one which is of a nature that can never be confined to simply recom mending its name, even to an audience favourably disposed. There is something in its nature which gives it a peculiar hold upon the feelings, and likewise requires that we should assure ourselves that in proposing such an institution as an object of commendation and support, we are offending against none of those rules of pru dence and good sense which, in this mixed state of things, it is necessary to apply even to the control of the impulses of human and Christian benevolence . It is not usual, perhaps, that those belongin4 to any special class should appeal, should join in endeav ouring to conciliate support for establishments which have the object of relieving distress among the members of that class themselves. It requires that we should be convinced there is something special and peculiar in the condition of the class in order to satisfy us that it is altogether wise to attampt specialiprovision which shall possess Remind and title to public support. I do not 'hesitate to say that it appears to me but too eas7 to make out that special claim on behalf of this institution. It is easy on account of abundance of objects which present themselves to your philanthropy, yet, at the same time, it is not " too easy" in one sense, because there is nothing degrading nor dis honouring in this institution to the noble profession which you pursue. Those who are not numbered among the band of artists, who have not been en dowed with those peculiar faculties which mark that description of genius, or have not had the op portunity for their exercise, must all feel that they are under permanent obligations to the authors of much innocent delight, so many elevating lessons, so much of useful and practical instruction, and so much power and influence, as art, through the exertions of its professors, brings to Lear upon the course and progress of society. It is not merely a rendering of a debt which gratitude must prompt, but it is likewise in meeting and satisfying pecu liar wants which render it right that this institu tion should be commended to public and general support. You have heard pronounced from this chair most intelligent and deserving commendation of the management of this institution, and all that I can give in the moments abstracted from other and more labourious duties is little more than the testimony of the sincerity of my feelings which is afforded by my presence among you this evening. (Cheers.) To those who have beard the addresses which have been delivered by my predecessors in the chair it would be needless, and even imperti nent, for me to presume to offer any observations. But it is in the nature of such institutions that what has been very well said should be said again and again, in order to revive, to freshen in the public mind the demands which you so justly make upon their sympathy and sup port. (Cheers.) You must all have been struck, no doubt, in surveying the state of society, by the marked characteristics in the economical distribu tion of labour, and the rewards attaching to it, in the times in which we live. This is a time in which the highest professors of all the arts and in all the professions, having attained a certain position, can usually command abundant, and in some peculiar cases even splendid means of livelihood. It is also a time when, owing in a great degree to the wise legislation of recent Parliaments, the labouring classes of this country are able to command a rate of remuneration for their toil such as for many long generations has not been the case. But between the great capitalists, the great possessors of estedes, and those at the head of the profession upon one side, and the mass of the labouring popu lation upon the other, there are the classes which belong to the intellectual departments, who dwell in the lower regions of that department, whose remuneration is, in many instances, scanty and even miserable. There is no labour, in fact, in this country so ill paid as that which may be called the labour of educated men in the lower classes of educated men. Art, like everything else, must have among its professors a multitude of shades and degrees of merit and power. It is really astonishing, when we come to consider the power of tha human mind as developed in the productions of art, what combination, what concentration of character it requires to produce that something which is represented upon, perhaps, a yard of canvass, which we call a picture. (Cheers.) Slight as they are in fabric, those works are yet reckoned among the greatest productions of which mankind has been the author. (Cheers.) It is no wonder that in a pursuit which occupies so immeasurable a space between the highest and the lowest grades, we should find persons who grace the courts and the palaces of the land, and who enjoy all that this world can supply, and others who have to encounter the hardest and most painful struggles, and the labours of whose hands with the chisel or pencil produce them far less than if as mechanics they were engaged in some workshop or foundry. (Cheers.) This state of things is due to the working of those laws which we call political economy, and the operation of which work out great and beneficial results in the end, but which also produce by their action distress and disappointment to many persons. There is this point in connection with the occupation of the artist, that his work must always be to him a labour of love, and the feeling with which for the first time he takes a brush in his hand must be very different from that with which the young man articled to an attorney must commence his la bours. (Cheers.) In my experience of life nothing has struck me more than the high degree of spe ciality, and the peculiar and marked character, which attaches to artists. They seem to stand re moved to a greater distance from other classes, not in sympathy, but in ability to accomplish what they wish. So faras regards their habits of perception and the exercise of the powers necessary for their art,they seem to have a most absorbing power, such as iR many instances may disqualify for the homelier opera tions of the business of life; and though no man can be dispensed from the duties of the daily performance of life, yet this incapacity does attach in some de gree, to the pursuits of his art, and where an unfor tunate incapacity for the performance of these duties is found, it is far less culpable, and should be visited with far less severity, than in the case of ordinary men. (Cheers.) Anothers peculiarity in the case of artists is, that the ills and crosses of life act upon them with greater severity than upon other men, just as the man of more sensitive nerves and more fully developed feelings is more sen sitive to pain than the mere boor. On these and various other grounds to which reference was made, the right honourable gentleman commended the institution to the support of the friends and lovers of art. A common interest should, he said, unite us all; each class was a debtor to the other, and each should seize every suitable occasion for acknowledging those bonds of mutual obligation by which we are united as children of one common father, heirs of one common hope, and as working together for one great and common end. (Loud cheers.) A sum of about £750 was announced as collected in the course of the evening. Ten 53} 2i BRITISH MINES. - -- - - -- Closing Brines. Share Mines. Paid. Price.

DWELLINGS OF THE LABOURING CLASSES (I L AND). This bill was read a third time and passed. ALTERATION OF THE PRAYER-BOOK. Lord E BURY gave notice that on an early day he should move a resolution concerning the alteration of the Prayer book. THE NEW REFORM BILL. The Marquis of CLANRICARDE moved for certain returns relating to the representation of the people in Par liament. Ho took this opportunity of expressing his strong objection to the Government Reform Bill, which he characterised as one of the most absurd that had ever been introduced into Parliament. He considered the bill a mockery, and if it ever reached the house, which he hoped it would never do, he for one should give it his strongest opposition. As far as he knew there was no wish for reform in Ireland, in which country there had been no wish publicly expressed for any such object. He did not go the length of saying there was no need of reform in Ire land, but by the plan at present proposed by Government the inequalities of representation would still remain. The noble earl concluded by moving for a return of all towns in Ireland, exclusive of Parliamentary boroughs, containing a population of 4,000, or upwards, specifying the counties in which such towns were situated,and showing the number of occupiers rated at above £4 and wader £6, and at £6 and upwards, but under £8 and at £B. The Duke of NEWCASTLE trusted that the noble marquis would be disappointed in the wish that the new Irish Reform Bill would not reach their lordships' house. In the absence of all statistical information he could not discuss its merits, but he would safely state that the bill was not one of such magnitude as would " take a man's breath away." There would, of course, be no objection to the production of the returns moved for. Lord MONTEAGLE thought that the clause in the bill with respect to the election of Irish peers for Irish consti tuencies was most absurd. _______ ...._ _ After a few words from the Marquis of CLANRI CARDE, the returns were ordered. The Stamp Duties Bill and the Income Tax Bill were read a third time and passed. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS.—(Tins EVENING•) The SPEAKER took the chair at four o'clock.

LEWIS presented the rep of her Majesty to the address in reference to the alteration ly In the commercial relations between this country and France respecting the navigation laws. NICE AND SAVOY. Lord J. RUSSELL laid on the table some additional correspondence relative •to the annexation of Savoy and Nice. Her Majesty's Government in tended to keep sepa rate the question of annexa tion of these wheat nd heir neutrality. I n the correspondenceich he laid on the table, there were papers from the Government of Switzerland which were of great importance, for they contained a request for the interference of the powers of Europe, through the me dium of a conference ; into that conference her Majesty's Govern ment had no objection to enter. (Hear, h e a r .) BUOYS AND BEACONS. Mi. RIDLEY asked the President of the Board of Trade whether the Commissioners appointed on the 3d day of DOMINO, 1868, to incsire into the COAditiozi and manage" ment of lights, buoys, and beacons, had made their report; and if so, when he would lay it on the table ? Mr. M. GUSON said that the report in question had not been received. DURHAM UNIVERSITY. Mr. MOWBItAY moved an address for return of the number of graduates of the University of D: rham, dis tinguishing their several degrees, and also distinguishing those admitted ad eundum and those upon whom honorm degrees have been conferred, and, in the case of gradustvi who are of the degree of bachelors of arts, distinguishing those who are of not less than three years'standing, bnd those who have passed their examination for the degree of master (farts.—Ordered. UNIVERSITIES. Mr. BYNG moved an addresi for return of the number of graduates of the different Universities of the United Kingdom, distinguishing their several degrees, those ad mitted ad madam, and those upon whom honorary de grees have been conferred. BUSINESS OF THE HOUSE. Lord J. RUSSELL moved that upon Thursday after Easter until Whitsuntide, the Government orders of the day should have precedence of notices of motion. . Col. W. PATTEN strongly objected to the motion The fact was, the present Government had gradually encroached, on the privileges of private members, who were cc nsequently deprived of their legitimate rights. He considered that ie the motion before the house a very dangerous innovation was sought to Le introduced, and there was nothing in the state of Governmental:measures or public business that required the establishment of a novel precedent. Lord PALNERSTON considered that hon. members had no just ground of complaint as regarded the motion of his noble friend the Secretary for Foreign Affairs, as that motion originated simply from a desire on the part of her Majesty's Government to despatch public business. (Hear, hear.) He contended that the motion grew out of the emergency of the time, and was in conformity with the requirements of the public service. (Hear, hear.) In fact, all that was asked by the motion was merely to consent in an early period of the session to that which they would feel called on to do at a later period. (Hear, hear.) Ire put it to the good sense of the house whether, under the present state of public business, when the Government had been obliged to bring forward measures that were usually deferred till a later period, they should not accede to a motion like the present. The object of that motion was to afford the house an opportunity of disposing of business indispensable to the interests of the public service. Hon, members might consider that there was an attempt to encroach unduly en the privileges of private members, but the fact was, and it wovld be demonstrated, that the Government had only Monday and a part of another day to bring forward its measures. (Oh, oh.) He repeated that statement; for although Friday stood as a Government day, according to the programme of public business, still the fact was that private members availed themselves of the opportunity afforded them by the technical forms of the house, and brought forward motions which sometimes led to protracted discussions, and delayed the pro gress of Government measures. - He had showed on a previous occasion that private members should not be deprived of the means of bringing forward their motions, but at the same time it was only due to Go vernment, which was charged with the conduct of public business to afford them ample opportunity of bringing their measures forward, and to carry them through without un• necessary delay. (Hear, hear.) Mr. DISRAELI considered that the motion was of an unconstitutional character, and not required by any special exigency of the public service. He believed that if adopted it would be the means of introducing into the business of the House of Commons a precedent that might be dangerous. With regard to the feeling of the house, he thought that Government had no reason to com plain, because there had been every disposition exhibited by hon. members to afford facility for the progress of Go vernment bills. He contended that the present motion was uncalled for. (LEFT SITTING) CENTRAL CRIMINAL COURT. ' THIS DAY. The April Sessions of the Central Criminal Court ccm menced this morning at the Sessions House, Old Bailey, before the Right Ron. the Lord Mayor, the Common Ser geant (in the absence of the Recorder), Mr. Alderman Lawrence, Mr. Alderman Condor, Mr. Alderman and She riff Phillips, and Alderman and Sheriff Gabriel, the Under Sheriffs, Messrs. Eagleton and Gammon, and other civic authorities. The calendar, owing to the length of time since last 'ses sions, is numerically heavy, but none of the cases are of a very serious or grave character. The grand jury having been sworn, The Common Sergeant (as Deputy-Recorder) proceeded to deliver his charge, in the course of which, having ad verted to the bill before Parliament for the abolition of the grand jury system, the learned judge said he was not one of those who agreed with the arguments of those who supported the change. The administration of the law in this country was very different to that of other countries. From time immemorial the administration:of the law had been in the hands of the people themselves, and not in the hands solely of official and professional persons, and he was sorry to see any changes introduced which would interfere with what might be considered the natural currents of just ice and place it in the hands solely of official and professional men. With theselobservations he referred to the calendar, but he did not think that any of the cases were of sufficient im portance to call for any very lengthened remarks from him. The number of prisoners was 113 ; there were only two cases involving loss of life, but neither of them involved the serious charge of murder. In one case an aged lady had been run over by a Hansom cab in Oxford-street and killed, and the other case was where two youths were racing on ponies, where a child who was in: the road was knocked down and killed ; with regard to the lady, who was 79 years of age, on the Ist of January was passing across Oxford-street, it snowing at the time, when she was knocked down by a Hansom cab, when five or six of her ribs were broken, and from the injuries of which she died, and the only question was whether there had been such negligence as to amount to manslaughter, and the same question would arise in the second case. There was also a very long case in which some foreigners were charged with conspiracy in obtaining money to the extent of £3OO under false pre tences. The learned Judge having briefly referred to two or three other cases, dismissed the jury to their room.ll POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BURGLARIOVSLY ENTERING A DWELLING-HOUSE.— Three stout-built young fellows, named James Parker, William French, and John Holland, were charged, before Mr. Beadon, with stealing, from 11, Upper Marylebone street, three silk dresses, awl other property, belonging to Mr. Daniel Hagan, house painter, &c. The prosecutor said that about half-past eleven en Satur day night ho was sitting in his kitchen, when, hearing footsteps overhead in the parlour, he went upstairs, and seeing a light in the parlour he went out of the front door cautiously, closing it after him, and just outside saw the prisoner Holland, whom he at once seized. On looking through the window from the street, he saw the other prisoners in the act of removing a pair of plated candlesticks front the sideboard, and placing them with other property ready for removal. He called " Police 1 ." .upon which some persons came up, and one of them ex claimed " Knife the -! " The two in the parlour (French and Parker) then rushed out of tho room and got over a wall at the rear of the house. The property prepared for removal was of more than £6 value, and he had been robbed five times before. In answer to the magistrate the prosecutor said that, one hour previously, he locked the door of the room, leaving the window up about two inches, and afterwards found it thrown open and a wire blind broken down. Committed for trial. CAPE OF GOOD _HOPE. PLYMOUTH, APRIL 1. The Union Steam Navigation Company's mail packet Norman, Commander J. Boxer, from the Cape of Good Hope, Feb. 21 ; St. Helena, March 1; and Ascension, March 5, arrived this morning.

The haanepool and mus• castel have suffered most. In the Graaf-Reinet division alone the loss of stock by the late drought is estimated at £lOO,OOO. Much squabbling exists among the projectors of the Cape Town and Wellington Railway, and little progress comparatively has been made. The pro posed Wyneberg Railway and the line from Port Elizabeth to Graham's Town are yet in abeyance. The Cape Parliament was further prorogued until March 21. The Supreme Court has declared Mahomedan marriages solemnised without banns to be illegal— a decision which will affect a large portion of the colonial population. Mr. E. C. Turpin, one of the Cape Town Cavalry, has been mortally wounded by a Minie bullet which had become detached, and remained in one of the rifles after ball practice.
