During the past week the business transacted in the varilus manufacturing districts has been of a yery limited character. At Birmingham the iron trade of South Staffordshire continues very dull, and the prices offered by buyers are too low for holders to accept. In the various fancy depart- Ments there is little activity to report. The mar ket fur all descriptions of cloths continues Very languid ; there have been few new contracts entered into, and the depression in prices exercised a prejudicial influence on all descriptions of goods. A little improvement has been manifested at Leeds for some descriptions of goods, chiefly for those suitable for the autumn. The various cloth halls were well attended, and for the home trade there was a satisfactory demand. Business at Halifax has been rather brisker, and float kinds of piece goods obtain remunerative Prices. At Bradford the transactions in piece goods were by no means extensive, but there was a satisfactory decrease in the number of the unem ployfid operatives, owing to orders having been given out for exportation to the United States. There:has been a slightimprovement at both Leices• ter and Nottingham for most descriptions of laces - and hosiery, and buyers have purchased to a mo derate extent. Stocks in the manufacturers hands - are small, and, for shipping, the lower descriptions of cotton hosiery are in good demand. At Sheffield and Wolverhampton the various hardware trades have been very quiet, the excitement attending the Queen's visit to Birmingham having caused almost an entire suspension of business. Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cotton Market on Saturday closed firmly, and prices of all ,descriptions were fully supported. The sales amounted to 8,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken 'by the speculators, and 1,000 by the exporters. The Railway Share Market presented a quiet ap -pearance, but quotations tended slightly upwards. There is no diminution in the general demand for Money, the applications in Lombard street and at ,the Bank of England still being numerous. The supply, however, being abundant, there is an ab sence of pressure, and it is thought that the in creased activity of the inquiry will not continue. Upwards of half a million sterling in issue, chiefly Australian, was bought last week for transmission to the Coitinent. The exchange at Paris, however, ill now rather firmer, and the remittances are likely to be more confined to purchases of silver, which metal is being sent to India in larger quantities than for some months past. The influx of specie con tinues on a large scale, and there is some probs.- -bility of a portion being sent into the Bank. The ttrrivals announced to-day comprise the Cambria, from Alexandria, with 60,480/. ; the Africa, from - New York, with 20,0001. ; and the Medway, from Victoria, with 38,372/. Continued depression is visible in the English Stock Market. It opened at Saturday's closing rates, but there has since been increased weak :ness, and a decline of per cent. There is tuo new cause to account for this retro grade movement, and the market appears to IlUffer as much from the extreme paucity of busi beim as from anything else.

Only moderato supplies of wbeat were on sale in the leading country markets held on Saturday ; ne►ertheless, all kinds met a dull inquiry, and prices had a downward tenency. Barley was dull, and the turn cheaper. In other produce very little was dying. The continental markets have been flat for wheat, spring corn, and flour. In the United States prices continue very low. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week was very moderate. From abroad the imports were liberal—viz., 19,475 quarters of. wheat, 4.338 barley, 52,242 oats, 279 beans, 1,017 peas, 5 tares, 2,865 linseed, 3,600 rapeseed, 3 mustard seed, 190 sundry seeds, 1,840 sacks and 2,570 barrels of flour. Fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, a very limited supply of wheat came to hand from Essex, Kent, Etc. Notwithstanding that the show of samples was trifling, the millers showed no disposition to get into stock, and the trade ruled inactive. In the value of some runs, no quotable change took place ; but middling and inferior parcels were certainly the turn lower than on Monday last. Thera was a very large show of foreign wheat. Even at further reduced rates, say is per qr., the demand ruled heavy, and very little wheat changed hands. Floating cargoes of 1,-,rain were very dull. Barley, the show of which was limited, met a slow in quiry at about last week's currency. We bad a dull inquiry for malt, and the late decline in ♦alue was with difficulty supported. Although the show of foreign oats was extensive, the oat trade ruled steady, at last week's quotations. In tie value of beans and peas, the show of which was limited, no change took place, and the demand for those articles may be considered steady. We had a dull inquiry for flour, at barely last Reek's quotations, CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Compared with Mon lay lagit, the arr ivals of home-fed beasts fresh up this morning were on the increase, and most breeds came to hand in good con ition. Although the attendance of buyers was rather on the increase, the beef trade ruled heavy, at a decline in the quotations realised on Monday last of 2d per 81bs. The general top figure for beef did not exceed 4s 4d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,75 J Scots and short-horns ; from other parts of England 350 of various breeds; and, from Scotland, 28 Soots. The show of sheep was considerably on the increase. The primest old Downs were mostly disposed of at full prices, but other breeds of sheep met a dull inquiry, at barely last week's currency. We had a fair demand for larnbs, the supply of which was tolerably extensive, at previous rates, viz., 5s 8d to 7s per Sibs. There were 800 Irish lambs in the market. Calves —the show of which was moderate—met a slow inquiry, at Thursday's currency. In pigs very few transactions took place on former terms. Per Blbs to sink the offal& s. d. s. (1.1 s. (1. s. d.

In foreign and colonial qualities next to nothing is doing, on former terms. Last week's imports were 154 bales from Port Natal, 123 from Cronstadt, 3,7 from P or t Philip, an d 501 from Port Beaufort. SEEDS. There has been a fair demand for linseed, at full quota tions. Rapeseed continues in request for export, at prices rather in favour of buyers. Tares and mustardseed are scarce and very dear. Canary is tolerably firm in price.

(Peers present--The Lord Chancellor, Lord Brougham, Lord Cranwortb, and other Peers.) MOWATT V. ELMER. This cause was appointed for bekring at 11 o'clock. The present appeal is brought against a decree of the Master of the Rolle, dated sth April, 1856. The decree proceeds on the ground that therespon dent (Mr. Blake) was in the year 1853 induced by the appellant to take one thousand scrip shares belonging to the appellant in the Portsmouth Railway Company, the appellant leading the respondent to believe that such shares were unallotted shares in the company, and that he the respondent was taking them to benefit the com pany, whereas these shares were alleged to be Lis own private property. The capital bf the company was 400,0804 divided into twenty thousand shares of twenty pounds each. Depo,it two pounds two shillings per share. The Solicitor• General, Sir Hugh M'Almont Cairo.', appeared and opere the case of the appellant. Sir R. Bethell, Q.C., follows on the same side. Counsel for the respondents, Mr. Selwyn, Q.C. It is possible the hearing of counsel will occupy be whole of the day. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Btifore the Lord Chief Justice C• - ick burn, Mr. Justice Williams, and Sir C. Cress xell.) ROBINSON V. ROBINSON AND LANE. This was a petition for divorce from the busbamd against he wife, which itood over from last week fir the Court to consider wheither Dr. Lane could be dis missed from the suit and allowed to give evidence fir the wife. Lord Campbell, Lord Chief Baron Pollock, Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, Mr. Justice Vaughan Williams, and Sir C. Cress well were of opinion that a defendant could not be dismissed by the Court from the petition to be allowed to give evider ce, but au applica tion by a petitioner, on special grou►,de, allowed the Court to do so. ➢ir. Justice Wightman was of a contrary opinion. The co-respondent will not therefore be removed from the suit during its progress. Dr. POillimore was addressing the Court when our reporter left. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.-7-(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A NOBLEMAN'S SERVANT IN AN AWKWARD PREDICA MENT.—Henry Loader, a respectably-dressed young man, and Jessy Windham, a prostitute, were charged with being found in the enclosure of Berkeley-square for an unlawful purpose. A. policeman proved seeing the accused in the enclo sure at a very late hour on the previous night, and as they had no business there he took them into custody. On doing so Leader said he had his mistress's key, by means of which he had got in. Mr. Beadon asked Loader where he lived. Loader said he lived at 42, Berkeley•square, and was servant to Lord Broughton. Mr. Beadon told the officer to take the key to Lord Broughton, and tell him the circumstances under which it came into his hand'. Loader begged his worship would not do that, as it would cost him his situation. Mr. Beadon said it was quite evident the purpose he was there for. He would discharge them, but the of• cer should do as be bad told him. STEALING PROVISIONS FROM A CLUB.—Ellen Leary, a decent•looking young woman, was charged with steal• iog several articles of food and also a cloth from the Staff.)rd Club, Cliffird-street. The prisoner, it appeared, had been employed as a charwoman at the club, and as she was leaving she was observed to have a quantity of provisions with her, and was stopped. A person named Fitzpatrick attended on the part of the club, and said it was the wish of the committee of the club, of which the Hor. George Mostyn was a mem ber, that she should be dealt leniently with. The prisoner had no rigbt to take away the things, as they should have gone to the servants' table. Mr. Beadon, after a salutary caution, discharged the prisoner. BANKERS' HOLIDAYS. Annexed is another letter received on the inte ' resting question of bankers' holidays, as presented in the case of the recent frauds upon the London and Westminster Bank. Of course the subject is one which can be extensively ventilated, and various opinions are likely to be entertained of the pre sumed practice, but if clerks are inherently honest they need not fear any such regulations. The recent attempted forgery on the London and County Bank is a sad illustration of the progress of crime ; the culprit, who was originally a clerk in the esta blishment, having previously been convicted of a similar offence, his term having only just ex pired : "Sir,—ln your impression of yesterday a bAnker's clerk writes on the above subject, with refernee to the recent frauds on the London and Westminster Bank, that in that establishme,t it is not compulsory in clerks to tike the annual fortnight's leave of absence, and tEat it is not, granted with a view to the detection of fraud. Now Gilbert, in his "Practice: Treatise +.n Bankinv," Section If., under the beading, "The Rules tf D.s cipline—flolidaye," says, "It is desirable, on several accounts, that all the officer+ of a bank, and especially those who are entrusted with cash, or other property, shoul I once a y,ar have leave of absence for at least a week or a fortnight. This should not even be optional—it ought to be a fixed rule with which they should be expected to comply. Again, another advan tage to a banking establishment from the absence of their clerks is, that it furnishes an additional guarantee for their honesty. We have known instant-s of frauds being carried on for several year; by clerks who were constant in their attendance, while a single day's al.- Fence would necessarily have led to a detection of their dishonesty." _ This is from the general manager of the London and Westminster Bank, aad it is but reasonable to suppose that the principles here laid down for the guidance of others are those acted upon in the establishment under his control. However, be tbis as it may, from whatever motive the leave of absence is granted, the discovery of the recent frauds proves the correctness of the principl,, and unfortunately every day's experience teaches us the necessity that ixiAs for searching investigation ; and so far from its being a slur, as your correspondent consi ders it, it is the duty of every honest man not only to submit willingly to, bnt to court, investigation. I must apologise fir trespassing thus upon your valuable space, and am, Sir, &c., Liverpool, June 18. ANOTHER BANKER'S CLERK. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.)

Perhaps tbroughAn: the year torfites do 110' assist at a plea .anter meeting than that which was celk brated at Stockbridge on Thursday last, for not only is the course most _picturesquely aiivated, and the racing Inset interesting and important, ,but the herpiulity which is dispensed by Jf:lhn Pay at Danebury,"and ibt cordial welcome which is extended to all cornet.: , , render a trip to the locality doubly agreeable aLd an "event " to be remembered. Sporting men will have their time and attention fully occupied this week, for racing will t,ike place "all over — t7:t I country." Southern turfites Will scarcely care about tht long and tedious journey to Newcastle, where, however, the prinoipal sport would be quite good enough to draw them so far North if there .were not mettle more attrac tive nearer home. The policy of limiting the meeting on the banks of the Tyne to three days admits of no question, for although it will deprive the miners of a day's holiday_it has materially improved the programme. Five races will be decided each day, and they are likely to be marked by incidents of more than an average importance. The Members' Plate has twenty nominations, and Martlet, - Pete," and Meta seem the most attractive names. Of the trio my preference for the three-year-olds. Should — Longrange go to the plot for the North Derby, he is not likely to meet an opponent formidable enough to make hioa strike hi, colours. The Tyro Stakes will, perhaps, go to tithe' Marseillaise or Meg Merrilies, and the latter will, per baps, be the winner. For the Licensed Victuallers' Stake I shall select Evelyn and Griffin. . • The field for the Northumberland Plate is not likely to be numerically strong. It will, perbape, coinplise Gunboat, Underhand, Minnie, Herne, Hamlet, Dacrow, Pensioner, Meta, Satinstone, Honeytree, and Con duc:or. Of these the two top weights, Gun boat and Underhand, are of so decidedly su perior a class that, despite their heavy imposts, lam almost induced to trust them. If Gunboat be capable of staying I shall be fully prepared to see him carry his Set 12ths successfully over the two miles, Satinstone will perhaps be his most dangerous antao nist. The withdrawal of Hepatica from the Grand Stand Stakes has imparted quite an open character to that event. Marseillaise and Meta are the animals most to my liking. For the Gold Cup my fancy points to Duneauy and Hesperitbusa. The Gateshead Nursery " on paper" a good thing for Mapsiilaiee. The Chelmsford Committee does not seem happy in their choice of officers. Within four years they have ap pointed three different clerks of courses. Mr. J. F. Clara, the judge, bats now been entrusted with, ti.e UM ,,agement of affairs in that locality, and it is to be h , pea that his Efforts to advance the popularity of the meeting will be more appreciated by the local authorities than were those of his predecessors. The meeting 'promises to be most successful, and should the present fine weather continue a larger assemblage than ever will be witnessed on Galleywood Common. The County Plata may be a triumph for the American colours, and Mr. Ten Broeck may secure it with his recent Enlist) purchase, Badsworth. The Welter Cup ought to be won by Theory. The American mare : Prioress is leniently weighted fur the Chelmsford Handicap, 'and if she were to start I should be induced to place faith in the stripes. In her absence, however, either Barbarity or York may pull through. The race for the Great Baddow Stakes will Le a " nice point," Artist and Zitelia, and taking into con sideration the difference in the weight and the severe hill at the finish, I shall expect the Hampton running to be reversed; Borderer may carry off the Cup, and School fellow ought not to be over-tasked to win the Town Plate, A PRESET MAN. 782 9 72 1014 85 49i I 8j 834 1 891 9 92& 3 21 911 1 48i 9 26* 13, 20 St. 12k 12 12A 12 St. j all 100 1100 100 100 20 12i 25 20 St. St. St. St. - 25 10 1.0.6, St. St. St. St. 192 17 28 BRITISH MINES.

The statement made by a Belgian j)ursal that the fa mous steeple-chase horse Franc Picard had bseu burned to death in a railway carriage rear Namur, as ho was proceeding to the steeplechases at Spa, is happily un. founded. Franc•Picard arrived safely at his de,tination and ran in the grand steeplechase which came off on Monday. In this event six other horses figured—Capt. Haworth's Ma'grry Moorport, Viscount Cunthy's Pe nelope, Vi-count de Nawur's Cases Cou, Mr. Manby's Kibworth Lass, Viscount Talon's Young Magnet, and Baron de Monnecove's Trembleur. The winner was Trembleur, Margery Moorport was second, and Franc- Picard third. No accident occurred. DESTRUCTIVE FIRE AT LIMEHOUSE. On Saturday night a fire broke out at Limehouse, which for ma g nitud e an d d estruct i on of valuable pro perty has not been equalled by any conflagration in the metropolis since that which destroyed Pickford's wale houses at the Camden station of the London and North- Western Railway. The tire broke out on the premise; known to every traveller on the Rack wall line as the life-boat manufac tory of Messrs. Forrest and Co., situate between the Stepney and Litnehouse stations of the railway. These premises consisted of a series of lofty timber buildings, resting upon brick wells and piers, and ruing conridtr ably above the level uf the line of the Blackwall Rail way, and on each side of the line. The area c.,verecl by Ins burning mass is estimated at four acres iu ex eut. They were minded on the east by the oak tuuber-y rd of Messrs. Dixon and Co., which extended to the grounds of Limehouse Church, on the south by the cut which leads from the Thames t the entrance to the .1.4 , n River, on the north by the Commercial-road, and on the we•t by a street runninv down to tne creek or cut b‘Aor,.- mentioned, called Mill-place. --:- About 10 o'clock she alarm of fire was given, when flames were observed rusl,ing out of a stuah house called tee beat-house, in which a man who had char g e t.f tt,e premises resided, and who is stated to have been pulled out of one of the windows by Mr. J. Pitceford, of the Island Lead Works, which is reached by a bri , ge at the south- western end of Messrs. Forrest's premise,, or. as lug the River Lea Cut. No sooner had he succa. ded in doing so than this part of the premises becam e a mass of flames. Tee the continued to extend in a north easterly direction till it reached the timber yard of Mr. Dixon, in which there were imtnease stacks of oak timber of great value, and Mews. Dalton's mast and sail yard, the whole of which, in consequence of the combustible nature of the materials, were speedily in• velved in flames. By 11 o'clock the fire bad extended, despite the efforts of the servants of the company, to the northern side of the Blackwall Railway, and the flames shot up on either side c f the arches and line, and the light was so great that it was seen fur a distance of many miles. The engines of the brigade arrived in rapid succes sion, but in consequence of the immense extent of the bunting mass, the efforts to reduce the fury of the fire were of little avail. The view of the immense area of the fire from Lea River Creek was grand in the extreme; but trea t difficulty heat was s o intense t h at even t h e fi remen had Front • r cat difficulty in app roac hi ng near t h e b urn i ng ma this point could b e seen th e e i g ht or t e n arch ss es of the railway apparently i n th e m id s t o f he fire, with the bricks of the buttre sses near ly re d h o t. The towerand er of LilllCllollblll g Church formed the background,is n ait eedless to say that was one of terrific grandeur. It from the outbreak the trains on ema ay were stopped. The whole of Messrs. Forrest's workmen left the pre mises, as is usual on Saturdays, at .5 o'clock, and at this period of the year there is n o gas burning or fires lighted on the premises. T is estimated at something like 100,000/., and it is h s e ta l t o e s dthat Dies-re. Forrest and Mr. Dalton are insured , but to what extent has not trans pired. Another fire broke out while the above was raging, in the Back-road, St. Georges-in-the-East, and as many en gibes as could be spared were draughted to that spot.

Hence there are two waykot sailing 'along the coast, indenskjs3re,' i.e, withi n: th e ‘lkerries,' and. `udenalijairs,' or outside of the skurries,' i e., in the open sea. The inner route has been followed by coasters from the days ( f the Vikings." The fre3liness and originality of the style and matter give something of the same refreshment to the reader wearied with ascents of Mont Blare°, excursions up the Rhine, and even satiat e d with the" descriptions of transatlantic forests and eastern deieitA, that he himself felt iu mixing with the wild and uncultivated Norwegians, and hearing the old Scandinavian songs. In treating of the national language the water traces a striking re semblance between our own tongue and the old Norsk : "Arne has read SlZOl7O'3 Chronicle, which he borrowed from the parson. Ivar Arisen, the author of several works on the old Norsk language, has been more than once up here examining into the dialect. Those ie. terested in the sources of the English language, and in ascertaining how much of it is due to the old Norsk, have ample room for amusement and instruction here, Many Euglbh words unknown in the modern Norwegian, are te be found in uEie in these secluded parts, thoughdriven from the rest of the country, ju-t in the same way as the Norsk tannage was talked at Bayeaux a 'longtime after it bad become obsolete at Rotten and other parts ef Norrear.dy. Our " noon" reappears in " uuni ;" "game," in "gams," a word not known away frorn,thre. `• To prate„' is " i.rata ; "todie," 18 "dot ; " "two, " is " twi," nut ‘. t o ," as e l ( evil ere; indeed, a ll the numerals cliff rI. om those used elsewhere. The people pronounos " way,' up ough," and "int," just like an Englishman. To "Leigh , ' is " ro-ja," not " vrirska." 'A stocking is " sock,' not "striimpe ;eg e d ge ; skate = safe or cupboard ; " kvik" corre.p wee in all its meanings to our word "quick." The old Icelandic "glide is stud as antculogistic epithet, excaunt. -Their wera for " wheel" sounds like our English, and is not "eule," as elsewhere ; "stubbe" is our "stub," or little bit ; " I" is " oi," not " leg ;" " fir" is pronounced. fir ;" "spon" bag been already mentioned : " snow " " mile , " "cross," re-occur here, whereas elsewhere ;hey differ from the English." The old Scandinavian legendary lore occupies a considerable portion of the work, which few read ers, we should imagine, would be inclined to regret, the character of the people, ann the mode of country life, being the chief ohjects of the work. The peasants' stories and conversations, . and Jittle country sketch s, are more promineutin the work than the descriptions of country or any. mere -com mon travellers' tales. The bear hunts, the doings of the go folks, and similar records, offer as much attracion to the reader who seeks light and Idea sant reading 'as to the more curious seeker fi r -information- These avid_ be intereateel—ice the account of the silver mines at Kouigsberg, and of which an interesting description is given. • We heartily commend these .volumes to all - who seek acquaintance with the wild and fresh variety of Scandinavian life and literature, with the solemn pine forests, the rocky coasts and mountain soli tudes, the earth lips, the wa'erfalls, the old Norsk cradle songs, the simple country folks, the stout borderers, and the sleepy quiet descendants of the stormy Vikings. Those who have perused his former work will probably be ready to:extend their acquaintance with the Northnien, andthey need not fear monotony Or tediousness in so - doing. The anecdotes, quotations, and incidents wou4l be suf ficient to enliven a dull volume, and where the whole style and character of the work is so fresh and animated the result cannot be otherwise than satisfactory to the reader and creditable to the writer. The Heir of Cheveleigh. By Gervase Abbott. 3 vols. Longman. This story presents powerful wtractions for those who delight lath e mys t er i ous and romantic. The plot is exceedingly complicated, the adventures of the heroine are replete with peril and perplexity of no ordinary kind, and the latter part of the narra tive is especially .painful from the peculiar style . of the dangers that environ the unfortunate Lucy. Butler, who is the most promitient person in the tale, is described with consummate skill, as a crafty man, devoid of principle and destitute "of feeling, alive to no object but his own interest, and cap able of no thought that did not centre in self. Mt s. Alsehurst, the mother of Lucy, was iv weak woman, although anxious to play a distingui , lied part in the world ; in an evil hour for herself, and all connected with her, she elloso Butler for a confederate, or assistant to carry out her schemes, which had for the'r aim and object to establish herself perm anent l y at Chevele•th Uwitr settlements, o som e smisunderstanding about pse d will thattheand her husband's property was hers withoutp reserve, it subsequently t ransp i re d that such was but the case, she was only to be .i n authority during o her children's minority. She was greatly disappointed at this turn of affairs, and consulted Mr. Butler as to w hat she could do to retain firepower. ~liifort unately fur her independence, stie.(lo.d f plunged deeply into debt while under the impre3- Eloti that the estates wero her own. This gave Butler an ascendancy over her, of which he w,ts riot slow to take advantage. The desperate plans which were subsequently arranged between thew, create a powerful and exciting interest in the story, although they are of a painful nature. However, those who do not appreciate this class will acknowledge the considerable talent that is manifested throughout. The doubts and fear s that continually beaet the mind of Butler are vividly depicted, and it is shown how, prevailed,iuthei midst lestostf his by cherished plans, a tracking fear surne chance a change , a discovery of his villany should be made , a nd ho be overwhelmed with con fusion and disgrace. From such a fate ho was Ived ,by an awful doom. He had hoped and trusted to keep his deeds of darkness concealed from man, and he succeeded, but where no human. r ye beheld, and where no human footstep pene trated, he passed away from this life in a peaceful manner. It is pleasing to find the gentle and long suffering Lucy restored at last to friends and hap pi • and, with this bright vista of futu r ity be nes., fre her, the reader takes leave of a narrative which is iarhictsed in gloom, and whose attendant spirits seem crime and misery.
