MONEY .211AiiliE2' AND CITY .2sl EMS% CITY, Two o'CLocii. The changes exhibited in the Bank of England return, completed to the 26th inst., are not of an im portant, although in some instances they are of rather an unfavourable, character. The bullion shows a diminution, while there is also a slight de crease in the reserve of notes. In the other securi ties no material alteration has taken place, but the private balances have fallen off to the extent of nearly a quarter of a million. The public deposits, as usual at this period of the year, have been slightly augmented. The various items, and the changes they present, are shown in the subjoined table : Active Circulation .. £20,823,490 Decrease .. 34,010 Bullion .. .. 16,255,951 Decrease 123,807 R es t • • • • • . 3,790,286 Increase __5,308 Publie Deposits - : : : 7,092,681 Increase 127,215 Other Deposits 12 , 973 7 222 Decrease .. .. • • 206,712 Seven Day and other Bills .. • • 721,132 Decrease .. .. • • 31,337 Government Securities 9 , 663 , 511 No alteration.

The general inquiry has been augmented by loan transactions at the Stock Ex change, advances being in request at 31 to 4 per cent., which has the effect of sending borrowers to the Bank of England. The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon were generally rather lower. A mil of £5 per share, amounting to £500,000, is due to day on the East Indian Jubbulpore Rail way shares, and of £5, or £250,000, on the F Extension, but owing to the large amount paid in advance it is believed these calls will not exceed £120,000. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a fair demand prevailed for most descriptions at full rates. The sales amounted to 12,000 bales. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been £1,616,900, and the exports £229,336. There has been a heavy market for Public Secu rities to-day, although very little movement has taken place in prices, Consols being 931 for money, and 931 I for the account. The transactions for transfer, as well as on speculation, however, have been very limited. Exchequer Bills are par; India New Loan, 1031; and ditto Bonds, 6s. dis., being all depressed. In the Foreign Stock Market the dealings have been of a moderate character, and prices are toler ably well maintained. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 731 ti ; ditto New Loan, 551 561; Buenos:Ayres, 941 ; ditto Deferred, 29.4- 30 ; Equador, 121 ; Mexican, 211 ; Russian 41 per Cents., 931 ; Vene zuela, 231 24 ; Spanish Deferred, 39k; and ditto Passive, 221. The Ocean Marine Insurance Shares are lt 2 prem. ; the Thames and Mersey, -I,- .2- prem. ; and the Universal, I prem. The Railway Share Market has continued dull, and for several of the principal lines a further slight decline has been apparent. Great Western, North Western, and North British have declined ss. ; Eastern Counties and Midland, 10s. ; and Man chester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, 15s. North Eastern (Berwick), advanced 15s. ; and South Wales, 10s. The Foreign and Coldbial undertakings have shown very little variation, with the exception of Grand Trunk of Canada, which have declined £l. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are flat. Ottoman Bank have receded 55., and Crystal Palace have improved 10s. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICES. 3 per Cent. Con.sels Annuities India Stock.

Comparatively few persons are aware that there exists in the City of London a Museum, which, although restrictive in its objects, is not without interest, as affording information on one of our most important national products—COAL. A few years since some members of the Corpora tion, and several influential gentlemen connected with this particular branch of commerce, proposed carrying this very useful design into effect, and a room was set apart in the Coal Exchange as a Museum for the reception and exhibition of speci mens and models illustrative of the coal trade and coal districts of Great Britain. The principal abject of the collection is to afford to those en gaged in the trade, as well as the public, an oppor tunity of seeing and examining the various kinds of coal, and the several other substances used as fuel in all parts of the world ; also to offer facilities for inspecting models of machinery, and other valuable, useful, and interesting inventions applicable to coal mining, and diagrams and maps of the geology of the various coal fields. The utility of such exhibitions, in an industrial and commercial point of view, is now generally acknowledged, and it has been the object to render the collection of real practical value, as a means of reference and information to all persons who are in any way interested in either the production, the consumption, or the natural history of fossil fuel. The Museum already possesses an interesting col lection of fossil plants, and specimens of different varieties of coal, and some models of machinery, which have been presented by gentlemen interested in the success of the undertaking, and which it is .hoped will be still further increased. The objects chiefly desired for exhibition in this Museum are the following :—Specimens of coal derived from the coal fields of all parts of the world; specimens of substances employed as sub stitutes for coal, or mineralogically allied to it ; the f oss ils of the coal strata ; models of mines, of min ing Machinery, and of colli er ships; specimens of implements used i n coal mining ; diagrams and plans of coal mines ; maps of coal fields ; specimens of substances manufactured from coal, or similar material, and of the implements used in such manu facture. ears lectures h ave b een During the past tw o y delivered once a month by Professor J. Morris, F.G.S., on various subjects connected with th e n atural history of coal and coal mining, and which lectures will be occasionally continued. Under the present arrangement the Museum is each .ope monthn to the -- public on the first Monday in Mining Journal. SWEARING-IN OF TELE NEW SLIERIFFS.—A Court of Alderman was held yesterday, for the purpose of swear lupin the Sheriffs of London and the county of Middlesex for the ensuing year, viz. Mr. Alderman Abbiss and Andrew Lush, Esq. The wi g their year der-sheriffs, dinin of office, will be Mr. Eagleton and Mr. Gammon, the two gentlemen who OW the same office last year. On Thursday Miss Caroline Paget, fourth daugh ter of Mr. C. Paget, one of the representatives of Notting ham, was married to Mr. W. Mellor, son of the other mem ber far that borough . ' The wedding took place at Ruddington, Notts, where the residence of the bride's father is situated; and the health of the happy couple was proposed at the breakfast by Mr. Baron Channell. WORKHOUSE MEAT.—Mr. Robert Jackson, a butcher, has been convicted in the sum of £5 for supplying putrid meat to the Nottingham workhouse for the use of the inmates. Another butcher was summoned for a similar offence, but the charge against him was not pressed. Mr. Lambert, the poor•law inspector, has held a lengthened examination into the conduct of Mr. Harrison, the master of the house, in receiving the bad meat ; but the decision of the commissioners upon the report of their officer has not yet been oommtudoated to the board of guardians, SHARE 211AR.KET.-(THIS DAI) ORDINARY SHARES AN STOCKS.

PO 910 ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR.-(THIS DAY.) To-day being Michaelmas-day the election of Lord Mayor took place in the Guildhall. The proceedings were of a much more peaceable description than has been the case on former occasions, from the circumstance that the election of Alderman Cubitt, to the high civic office, was not to be opposed. _ Shortly before 12, the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, and other officials, left the Mansion House and proceeded to the Guildhall, where they were received by the Aldermen and officers in the Alderman's room, and a nosegay having been presented to each, according to ancient custom, by the usher of the court, a procession was formed from Guildhall to St. Lawrence's Church, conducted by the Junior Mar shal in the following order : Sheriff's Chaplain. Under Sheriffs. High Bailiff of Southwark. City Solicitor. Remembrancer. Controller. Secondary. Common Pleaders. Judge of the Sheriff's Court. Common Sergeant. Town Clerk. Chamberlain. Sheriffs. Aldermen below the Chair, Recorder. Aldermen past the Chair. Senior Marshal. Lord Mayor's Chaplain. Common Crier. Sword Bearer. Lord Mayor. At the conclusion of the service the procession left the church and returned to Guildhall, where hustings had been previously erected at the east end, on which the Lord Mayor took his station. The COMMON CRIER then desired silence, and formally declared the Common Hall open for the election of a Lord Mayor. After the usual formalities, a show of hands was called for, and Alderman Cubitt was declared to have a majority. The names of Alderman Cubitt and the next in succession tl him having been submitted to the Court of Aldermen by the Lord Mayor, the selection was confirmed, and the Re corder declared to the Hall that Alderman Cubitt was duly elected Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. The COMMON CRIER, in the usual form, called for Alderman Cubitt to come forward and give his consent to fill the office. The LORD MAYOR elect advanced to the front of the hustings, and having been invested with the symbols of civic dignity, stated his willingness to serve the office, and his determination, by the help of the corporation and the support of the livery, to support the honour and dignity of the office, and maintain the rights and privileges of the city. A vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs closed the proceedings. The Lord Mayor elect then accompanied the Lord Mayor to the Mansion House, attended by the aldermen, sheriffs, and officers, whom the Lord Mayor will entertain this evening at dinner. LA TV INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) WHAT IS A PROFESSIONAL MAN P—REINLOW V. BROERS. Plaintiff is a translater of languages, and defendant is clerk to a merchant carrying on business in Bush-lane. Mr. Frederick Kent, 18, Queen-street, Cheapside, said that plaintiff sought to recover .£5 for translating 200 pages from German into English. The work would be produced, and although defendant had received £4O for it, he had only paid into court £2 2s. He had employed plaintiff because he (defendant) was too busy so do it himself. Plaintiff was called, and said he translated the manu script produced, in all 200 pages. His Honour—Did you do all this ? Plaintiff—Yes. Defendant said he would give me £2 2s. He promised me a situation, and, had he obtained one, I should not have charged him anything. Cross-examined by Mr. Johnson—l told defendant that if he got me a situation I should do the work for nothing ; but I certainly never agreed for £2 2s. Mr. Johnson then called defendant, who said that plain- tiff was a young German, who had come to this country to obtain a situation. Ho was recommended to defendant by a very respectable person, and defendant almost promised him a situation in the office of a merchant of high standing in the City. It being necessary to have a specimen of plaintiff's handwriting and ability, defendant asked him to translate a manuscript, and promised him £2 2s. for it. Plaintiff remarked that defendant had taken a good deal of trouble, and said that he would gladly translate the work to show his gratitude. Cross-examined—Knew Messrs. Seymour, Peacock, and Co.—at least knew one of the firm, and that was the reason he promised plaintiff a situation. Did not give plaintiff the work because defendant was too busy to do it himself. Had received £4O. Part of that sum was for that work. Mr. Kent—And pay into court a patry S 2 2s. His Honour—Was any person present at the bargain ? Defendant—No. His Honour—l don't think £5 an unreasonable offer to one person to get another a situation. Look ing at the work done I think £5 a most reasonable charge. - Verdict for plaintiff. _ . Mr. Hart applied for costs of witnesses and of plaintiff as a professional man. His Honour—Nonsense. I only recognise three pro fessions—law, one ; medicine, two ; and divinity, three. We shall have butchers being professors of cutting up meat soon. Printers call their's a profession, but I don't recognise it. POLICE INTELLIGEN CE--(THIS DAL) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING A RIFLE. —Thomas Johnson, a young man, was charged before Mr. Beadon with stealing a rifle of the valuenf 20 guineas, the property of Mr, James Davies, tailor, of 340, Oxford-srreet. Charles Batchelor, errand boy to Mr. Davies, said that about 7 that morning he was taking down the shop shutters, when the prisoner came up to him, having seen him hang ing about the shop window for some time before, and asked him the way to Berwick-street. He directed him the way to go, and the prisoner then asked him some other ques tions, occupying his time for about five minutes. He (witness) then walked round to the other window, it being a corner house, and while taking down the shutters ho saw the prisoner come out of the shop door with the rifle in his hand, and cross Oxford-street. He immediately went after him, and seizing him, took the rifle from him. The pri soner then started off, and after chasing him down Oxford street and Portland-street into Castle-street, crying "Stop thief," he was caught by a constable. The rifle was left with his master by a gentleman, and was of the value of 20 guineas. Gordon, 236 A, said ho suspected the prisoner was only recently returned from penal servitude. He knew him to be an associate of thieves, and he believed, if ho was re manded, he should be able to prove that he had been con- Ticted Paul Phillips, 23 E, the officer who took the prisoner into custody, said that at the station the prisoner said a gentleman gave it to him to carry. He wished for a re mand. Mr. Beadon said he would remand the prisoner till Wed nesday next. THIN D EDITION. SUN - OFFICE, Six o'clock. SPAIN. The Madrid journals of the 23d have arrived. The Espana insists that Spain, in imitation of France, ought to mark her disapprobation of the Sardinian invasion of the Papal States by with drawing her ambassador from Turin. The Queen continued at Barcelona, and the journals contain long accounts of her Majesty's movements there. Among other things, the Queen had made a long promenade on foot in the city, and had been greeted with the acclamations of a large crowd. The Novedades announces that the General Company of Credit in Spain had purchased the railway from Jerez to Trocadero. The Duke de Nemours had arrived in Madrid. The Espana states, on autho rity of a letter from London, that a project is on foot in Ireland for raising a subscription to present a sword of honour to the Duke de Tetuan (O'Don nell) on account of his Irish descent. The Moorish Ambassadors had arrived at Tangier. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. COVENT GARDEN.

THAMES. DARING ROBIVRY IN A PUBLIC-HOUSE.—Alfred Thompson, a well , known thief, was charged with the fol lowing daring robbery at the Three Compasses public house, in Glasshouse-street, Rosemary-lane. It appeared that Mr. Michael Thompson, the landlord of the Three Compasses public-house, was in his cellar, when he heard the ringing of a bell attached to his bar door, and supposing a customer was waiting, he hasteied upstairs, and directly saw that the till had been removed from its place, and 6s. or 7s. from it. At the same time ho saw the prisoner leaving the house, and raised the cry of " stop thief." A police-constable, named Turner, of the H divi sion, went in pursuit of the prisoner, and after a long run secured him. On searching the prisoner ss. 11d. in silver and copper monies were found upon him. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had passed through his hands, and was a very dangerous cha racter. There was no one in the court to prove a former conviction. vV The prisoner on being called upon for his defence said — Settle it here, my lord ; and onbeing asked if he was guilty or not guilty, he replied guilty, and was immediately sen tenced to 6 months' imprisonment and hard labour. A DESTRUCTIVE.—EIIen Craven, a very turbulent and disorderly prostitute, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with breaking a large pane of valuable plate glass in the window of the White Fox, formerly the Angel public-house,in the Back-road, Shadwell. The prisoner went into the publichouse kept by Mr Homan, the landlord, yesterday evening, and demanded liquor. She was intoxicated, and the barman refused to ' serve her with any thing. She then made a disturbance, and struck several persons. I'he landlord and his barman immediately ejected the prisoner, who took up a large stone and smashed a pane of plate glass. Mr. Yardley—What is the value of the glass ? The barman replied, £5. Mr. Yardley—This is the woman who has been so very troublesome ? Roche—lt is, sir. Mr. Yardley—The prisoner is sentenced to pay a fine of Di, and in default to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two calendar months. , APOTHECARIES'-HALL. — The following gentlemen passed their examination in the science and practice of medicine, and received certificates to practise, on Thurs day, Sept. 27 :—Richard Davy, Chulmleigh, North Devon ; George Barker, Totteridge, Herts ; Henry William Wil liamson ; William Frederick Ryall, Plymouth ; William Joseph Callon, Liverpool.

Traits of Ch arac t er . B e ing Twenty-five Years' Literary and Personal Recollections. By a Con temporary. 2vols. Hurst and Blackett. • The authoress of these volumes having been throwninto communication with celebrities of all ranks and professions during the last quarter of a century, has naturally thought that her reminis cences of their ways and manners would prove in teresting to readers of the present day. Her circle of acquaintance has been a very comprehensive one, for she includes in her list statesmen and soldiers, preachers and players, dramatists and j u d ges , mem bers of the legal and medical profes s i on , an d some remarkable only fcr their stations or th e i r eccen tricities. Prominent among the subjects of her sketches are Lord Melbourne, the Duke of Wel lington, Edward Irving, Thomas Moore, Ed mun d Kean, Mr. Spurgeon, Tyrone Power, and Mrs. Shelley. With all these personages, and indeed with most of the individuals mentioned in her volumes, she has been in intimate personal com munication. Of the great Duke she gives a very interesting description, in the account of two visits which she paid him. On the first occasion she ac companied a lady friend who went to ask a favour, which was curtly and decidedly refused ; the abruptness of the reception only being tempered by particular kindness to herself—a kindness still further manifested on the subsequent occasion, when a lengthened interview took place. The Duke's sayings and doings, as described by our authoress on this occasion, offer a singular contrast to the general coldness of his manner to strangers, a fact which is possibly explained by her likeness to an early friend of his. Her acquaintance with Lord Melbourne originated, like many other of her distinguished friendships, in her literary pursuits. The authoress, although she withholds her name, admits that she belongs to the literary craft, and her writings appear to have been the means of intro ducing her to many authors and authoresses of distinction. Lord Melbourne, it appears, had contributed some sonnets to one of the annuals which were at that time in fashion, and the authoress having written a tale for the same periodical, an acquaintance was commenced. She speaks of him highly, and thus describes his manner in private society : LORD MELBOURNE. He had none of the " craft and subtlety" of diplomacy about him—none of its Jesuitical, self-imposed, and con trolling apathy, which ordinarily gives and creates such a great similarity between a thorough-bred diplomat and a Catholic priest in his noviciate. Lord Melbourne had none of this unnatural and sustained gravity. He could laugh —ay, and very frequently and heartily did so ; and enjoyed, as much as any one I ever knew, such ebullitions of mirth fulness; neither had he an atom of the scrupulous over weening caution so many official men have. He would converse of public men and public measures just as freely and naturally as if he were not a leader of the one and a framer of the other. Of his political contemporaries, also, he talked unhesitatingly and openly ; of some with such concentrated and intense dislike and bitterness, that I think he would quite have realised Dr. Johnson's " good hater." He was a very shrewd and observant man, and had singular talent for divination of character. He might literally be said to read a person at a glance. He could detect in a moment any attempt at dissimulation or artifice. He said that her Majesty possessed this power in a most remarkable degree; and that with her steady, yet eagle. gaze fixed upon them, none ever dared to or could utt er o th er th an th e per fect truth. He told me some instances in corrob ora ti on o f this peculiar faculty of hers, but which I do not consider myself justified in repeating. He expressed an unmitigated abhorrence for anything that partook of or approximated to deceit; and I believe ho righteously observed in every particular that rigid truthful ness he desired and expected in others. He had the most retentive of memories—in some respects positively wonder ful. Persons and events, of the most inconsequent and trivial character, whom perchance he had had named to him but once, and that years long past, he would remember and in quire after, when the very existence of them by yourself was utterly forgotten. He has often astonished me by sud denly asking, "What became of Mr. So. and-so I)" or " What was the end of that business you told me of ?" She is throughout a very lenient critic. She has taken for her motto Othello's famous saying, "Nothing extenuate, nor set down aught in malice;" and though frequently repeating that she has pre served a rigid adherence to truth, she has gene rally leaned to the side of mercy in her verdicts. In one point her work is deserving of the highest commendation. She has scrupulous avoided re cording anything which might trench on the con fidence of private life, although the insertion of letters, domestic anecdotes, 8.. c., might have greatly enhanced the attractions of her sketches. This reticence is so rare at the present day that it is especially meritorious. Her descriptions of the personal appearance of the notabilities she refers to are minute, and give the reader a fair idea of the individuals described. She is evidently, as she confesses, a great admirer of personal beauty ; but, to tell the truth, she is far more liberal in her praise of the gentlemen than of the ladies. She appears, however, to be totally free from the jealousy which is supposed to belong to the literary craft. Almost all the lady celebrities she refers to belong to her own profession. We have pen and ink portraits of Lady Blessington, Mrs. Norton, L.E.L., and Mrs. Shelley.. Of thd latter lady she gives us the fol lowing interesting description : MRS. SHELLEY. Mrs. Shelley at that period, though a few years had passed since her bereavement, was still mourning over the untimely death of a husband so loved, and by whom she was equally beloved ; though then young, she had none of the buoyancy or elasticity of youth about her. The trap pings of grief and " livery of woe" had been cast aside ; still there was a settled sadness, a grave, gentle melancholy, in her face, and voice, and gait, which at once aroused your sympathy and elicited your interest in her. She was then, too, struggling against adverse fortune; and was working bravely, though toilsomely, to win honest bread for herself and boy (the present Sir Percy Shelley, Bart.) Not long previous to this, she had, I was told, been com pelled to undergo the fatigue of giving lessons as a daily governess. But she was then supporting herself by her pen, with a slender allowance from her husband's family. I have never seen a portrait that at all did her justice. If not a beauty, she was a most interesting, lovable-looking ' woman ; with a skin exquisitely fair, and expressive gray eyes ,• features delicate, yet of that style and proportion which have won the term of " aristocratic ;" hair of a light but bright brown, most silky in texture and luxuriant in I profusion, which hung in long drooping ringlets over her colourless cheek, and gathered in a cluster behind, fell wavingly over her shoulders ; a large, open forehead ; white and well-moulded arms and hands. She was a de gree under the middle height, and rather inclined to embon point. I need scarcely say, to the memory of her husband she was devotedly attached, and never weary of talking of, or myself of listening to, praise of his supreme genius. He must have been one of the most amiable of men. She re presented him as all but perfection; but even those most opposed to his writings have never denied his many claims to admiration as a man. A picture that she had of him, which she said was a faithful likeness, gave you alike the idea of his genius and the characteristics of his nature. Tho most tender sensitiveness, the most delicate susceptibility, were stamped on every line and feature of the face. It was extraordinarily juvenile-looking. "He always was taken for much younger," she said " than he was.' Of Lord Byron I solemnly aver she ever spoke most favourably. Never did her lips utter the wretched slander, the vile detraction with which so many of his pretended friends, to their own eternal disgrace, have sought to stain and darken his immortal name and fame. She gave abun dant instances of his tender compassionateness for all that was helpless. To the little child, the defenceless dumb animal, the stricken with poverty, he was (she asserted) ever gentle, merciful, generous. Despite all that envy, malignity, and cliquing have done to wrong and injure your reputation, Time, the righteous judge, the unbiassed, un fettered arbiter of human actions, will yet do you justice poor, ill-understood, persecuted Byron 1 The style of the work is occasionally too verbose, and the use of superlatives somewhat too frequent, but the anecdotes, descriptions, and incidents intro duced are so numerous that the reader cannot cop , plain of want of entertainment. Contrary to the habit of most writers, the authoress not only gives t sketches of all whom she professes to desc_ the , old adds several others, after the fash ion novelists, who make one story run into an o introdue°B anec- of t hr anehr an that into a third. She often t h e day, in dote referring to some notability ef of t he s ame profes the life of another member sion. Thus we have, in the sketch of Sheridan Knowles, the following instance of the - generosity Of MR. MACREADY• t of In the early par • his career, before fortune and fame upon him, there was one cl their smiles fame had lavished e who was particularly kind to him lady, a distant relativ m i ni stering out of her . s'lender means, in every way possible' oyraent. Years rolled on, b • ; to his comfort and utati o ns in human destinie s ea hilfs w e with them til°se to Macready, every advancing one untoward rewards events, c n s yield charged with ; ing an increase o 71foproopounlaorioetsysloanndofthuenstooliwd quent on rd'stress, with the afiliction of blindness indi gencesuper- a n- ady knew not of this. She made no appeal, - added. Macre coqruaithnoted him with the struggles she had to combat fearful calamity . with which she had been norwit with, stricken. When at the pinnacle of fame he made a profes sional tour in Ireland, and was announced as about to visit the place where this poor lady was then dragging on a weary and uncheered existence. He arrived at —. His name, in large capitals, was placarded over the walls of the t ow n, specifying the characters—some of his most cele brated ones—which he was going to perform there. She was incapacitated from reading the intimation that he was a visitant to the place where she now—poor, and blind, and lonely—was living, but the information was conveyed to her. The friend who told her begged that she would make her present position known to Macreddy ; but, with that timidity engendered by poverty, consequent on the chilling treatment the world too often accords to it, she hesitated. "He is such a great man now—he will forget all about me," she said. " I think differently," replied her visitor. " Let me write to him about you 1" Her consent was gained, and ere the day closed the best answer was given to her appeal ; for Macready was at the humble lodging, and by the poor blind sufferer's side, tending her with affectionate care, lis tening to all her sorrows, devising for them such allevia tion as silver and gold could supply, and providing for her present wants with the lavish.hand of liberality and affec tion. Every delicacy , likely to tempt her appetite was sent in—a hamper of good old wine accompanying them; and not content with mere temporary bounty, he insured to her an annuity for life sufficient to meet her every requirement ; and when making known to her this his intent,. placed in her hands a cheque for the first quarter. During his so urni in the place, whilst, as the caressed idol of the hour,. his society was courted by all r anks, and pleasant c a 1 n c vt e i a . tions to fill his every leisure i n terval offered to his ance, to his honour be it recorde d that the chief Pa sal° r 0 _ — .„: time was passed, not in , the py and aposablo the rich and influential, but in the obscure apartment of this afflicted lady, sympathising with her for the past assuring her that no pe rsonal success could or would andever make him oblivious of her claims upon him ; and the Irish lady who told me the anecdote assured me that he rigidly kept his word, supplying and surrounding the his necessitou s and aged relative with every comfort up to her life. A number of celebrated preachers are described, though the authoress confe sses that in private life she has not found their kindness cqual to that of her legal and medical a dvisers. she To the members of the latter profession especially- pays a high tribute, and gives uslikenesses of Robert Liston, Will liken i am Lawrence, and °then'', eminent for their medical or surgical skill. Among her legal portraits we find Mr. Justice Crowder occupying a prominent place . Mr. Spurgeon is the subject of a lengthened memoir, and she speaks of him in terms which must satisfy his warmest admirers. Of that familiarity of style which he affects, and which some persons think so unsuitable in the pulpit, she gives the fol lowing instance : MR. SPURGEON. I remember an instance of this occurring the first time. I ever heard him preach, when I shared, with many other 4., the strong inclination to ' laugh, which only the solemn and controlling influence of ti me and place operated to subdue iwntatos,caortactimunrgmt-eandniidl, to suppressed smile. The chapel, which was a usual as suffocation, wh whenever e learn remainingy r . outsidepreaches, building as gained admittance into it; and, what I believe is of frequent occurrence when he preaches, many robberies am ongst the crowd took place. When Mrpurgeon as cended the pulpit, the first sentence he uttered was : " I here that some one here has lost a watch, and another per son a pocket - book. All I can say they notayinthem ve t themthinkatlteears,lat right—why di r two more t o say on the sub ihtos serves Butth them h r a i v g e h a t word sub ject, which is this—that if my friends, the pickpockets, aro still in the chapel, I have to reque st that they will not attempt to pick any more pockets till L have made my collection, as I want all the money I can get. The natural response to this addresi was hi . dicated by the low titter heard from the pews. Bu a " t 11 ins singula rities are trifles in contrast with the great and grand aim Mr. Spurgeon has devoted himself to, and the good he has wrought. The Rev. Mr. Bellew and the late lamented Mr. Robertson, of Brighton, are also among. the cleri cal list. Of Mr. Edmund Kean she gives a long and interesting description, having met him in familiar intercourse at the house of a friend, and once by his especial favour having been permitted. to witness a rehearsal, and to peep into his dressing-room at Drury-lane Theatre. We cite the subjoined passages from a lengthenel criticism on his acting : EDMUND KEAN. If, as was asserted at the time, his acting differed from that of all his predecessors, so may it assuredly be said, the none of his successors in the remotest degree resemble him. Now and then his son, Charles Kean, in some isolated look, or tone, or gesture, recalls for a moment his tilted father to remembrance—but the illusion is but transient. Of Ed. mund Kean, in his entirety, it might truly be affirmed that— "None but himself could be his parallel." He was alone—equally alone in force, energy, and power , originality and conception. Every imperson ation was instinct with truth, and bore evidence o f the highest genius. What perhaps was his most remarkable distinctiveness was his perfect transfusion, as it were, of himself into, and life-like embodiment of, the character he represented. For the time being he was wholly and absolutely the person he enacted. It was this complei-c identification of his own nature with, and his absorptiort into himself of, the woes and wrongs, the feelings and actions of the part ho was playing, which was the secret of the riveted attention and quite unparalleled sway he exer cised over the emotions, hearts, and sympathies of his audience. In " Othello," for instance—amongst ninny of his most marvellous delineations—where each throb of passion, each pang of torture, was indicated with unerring and sur passing fidelity and minuteness, you had the same tears, compassionateness, and pity—the same intense and burning indignation for what you witnessed—your susceptibilities as strongly and vividly responded to the appeal made to them—as if, instead of simulated suffering, you were spec tators of, and participators in, some mournful tragedy in domestic life. • His height and figure were not unfavourable to the as sumtion perhaps of stateliness—yet I never can admit that p there were not passages in his acting c,f native and superlative dignity. His rebuke to Cassio in " Othello" was pre-eminently so. He crossed the stage with calm, majestic tread to where the culprit stood convicted of inebriety, and in a voice of stern, inexorable authority, which had an awful grandeur in it, repeated— " Cassio, I love thee, But never more be officer of mine." None surely that ever heard him say those words could accuse him of want of dignity. His pauses were long, and perhaps too frequent. One of his peculiarities was—thit; however intimately and familiarly acquainted with his act ing you were, you never could tell before hand how ho would treat and interpret any new part. In most actors there is such a conventional style, such a general and sus tained mannerism, that when announced for any novel cha racter, you can form a pretty shrewd and accurate idea of how it will be rendered by them. This was never the case with him. In conception ho was so perfectly and appa rently impulsive, that every fresh embodiment exhibited some startling unconceived surprise never realized before. He might literally be said to " paint the violet and gild re fined gold." The most devoted Shakespearian, who had pored and pondered over the words of his idol for years; re ceived the impress of a new light thrown on their meaning by Kean's reading of the parts assigned to him. The oft-repeated quotation, " One touch of nature makes the whole world akin," might not inappropriately be ap plied t' his acting. The startling originality, the intense energy, the subtle power, the novel conceptions, were ad juncts and accessories undoubtedly to the colossal fame which, as an actor, ho enjoyed • but the great secret of his success was that he was simply, wholly, truthfully, and really natural. Ho exhibited humanity as it is—in all its aspects, varieties, and conflicts of passion. Hence his supreme ascendency over the feelings of his audience—the hearts of thousands beating as ono man beneath his faithful and marvellous portraitures of emotions, affections, and infirmities of a na ture common to all. We commend these agreeable volumes to the general reader, assuring him that, whatever their shortcomings or defects, he will find ample enter tainment for a leisure hour in contemplating these varied and life-like photographs. Captain Brand of the Centipede. By Lieutenant H. A. Wise, 3.5. N. Trubner and Co. Although this work purports to be the history of a pirate of eminence in the West Indies, and a record of his loves and exploits, and the singular manner by which he departed this life, he takes by no means a leading part in the story. He may be the hero, but the reader is introduced to none of his lady loves or victims until long after their decease. This is, however, just as well, for certainly the author has a talent for describing the horrible and revolting. Captain Brand is a clever noun: drel, of good address, undaunted .daring, an a fiendish cruelty. His evil genius is a doctor who,_o_ having been snared into his gang, and sailed of a n n u voyage in the schooner, and saving t he lit infant, refuses to accompany the pirate any o . nof the Captain Brand, fearing the deterrn i F a de l bauc hery, doctor, whose character is made up hand o , and piety, murder, and profligacy on the oneother, causes hint humanity, and generosity on . the longer. manner which he to be surprised and secured however, by a escribe -d.

The best part of the work is that which re lates to the sea and the American navy, although Lieutenant Wise makes the mistake common to most nautical writers, of setting sail, reefing, going about, and bringingup, &c , &e., at !east twenty times too often ; and although the gallant lieute nant may be justly proud of the navy of his coun try, he has no need to expatiate quite so often upon it, as the reader will find to his cost. Taken as a whole, " Captain Brand of the Centipede" is amusing, but it contains too much of the revolting and too little romance for the present age. DEATH OF LORD FFRENCH—The Galway papers announce the death of Charles Lord Ffrench, who expired on the 25th inst., at Tarver-hall, in the county of Mayo. The deceased nobleman, who was in his 75th year, was a zealous Roman Catholic, and follower of Mr. O'Connell throughout that gentleman's long career of Irish agitation. Lord Ffrench was the first magistrate in Ireland to whom Chancellor Sugden directed his celebrated missive notify ing the intention of her Majesty's Government to remove from the commission of the peace any person who took part in furthering the visionary scheme of a repeal of the Legislative Union.
