In tea the dealings by private con tract have been particularly limited, as parties are waiting the arrival of the Overland Mail. A large quantity, however, is announced for pub lic sale during the present week, and prices are expected to rule rather higher. Sugar has been in very limited demand, the trade gene rally exhibiting little disposition to buy at present rates. The stocks, however, show little alteration compared with those of the same period last year. The quantity held in London on the 16th October of British Plantation was 39,228 tons against 38,642 tons at the same date of 1857, while of Foreign it was 35,579 tons against 23,828 tons in 1857, the total being 74,607 tons in 1858, and 62,470 tons in 1857, showing an increase of 12,157 tons. Coffee has been very quiet, but prices have been steady. Rice has been almost neglected, the few dealings reported being merely for exportation, and at a alight reduction on former rates. In fruit the transactions have been on a very moderate scale, the large arrivals both in London and Liverpool having in some measure depressed the market. For saltpetre ' there has been a moderate inquiry for the better descriptions, but, in most instances, at lower quotations. The public sales of indigo were brought to a termination yesterday. Of the quantity brought forward, it is estimated that about 6,726 chests have been sold, 5,996 bought in, and 3,121 chests withdrawn. About 4,500 chests were taken for exportation. Good and fine quali ties of Bengal sold at a decline of about 3d. to 6d. Middling and ordinary at par. Madras at an ad vance of 3d., and Kurpahs 3d. to 9d. per lb., com pared with the rates current at the last July sales. Tallow has been flat, and prices in all positions show a declining tendency. Letters from Liverpool report that the Cotton Market, yesterday, closed heavily, and prices tended downwards. The sales amounted to 6,000 bales. In the Railway Share Market only a limited business was transacted, although prices were fully 7naintained. Some anxiety is evinced, especially at the Stock Exchange, to ascertain the movement of the ex changes during the next fortnight, because the recent decline and the increased demand for specie in Germany has created an impression that a large quantity of gold may be withdrawn from this side. This opinion, however, is not generally entertained by those acquainted with the state of trade ; and, although remittances may be forwarded for special purposes, no long sustained efflux may be apprehended. Meanwhile moderate supplies are coming in from America, and at least three quarters of a million sterling will be shortly re ceived from Australia. There was rather more inquiry for discount ac commodation yesterday, but the market still retains a quiet and and plethoric appearance. The Ripon, which sails to-day, takes out £20,650 for Bombay. There is a moderate demand for silver, and bars continue firm at ss. lid. Id, per oz. standard. The committee of the Stock Exchange have aPpointed Thursday, the 28th inst., as a special settling day in the shares of the North Rhine copper Mining Company, and transactions are to be recorded in the official lists. Bargains are also to be officially marked in the shares of the Victoria Station and Pimlico Railway Co. At the meeting of the West London Railway Company, to-day, a report was presented, stating the committee had recommended that the pro perty should not be sold at present, but agreed to tho payment of ss. per share, as proposed, on the, first-class preference shares. It was resolved that the committee should remain in office until the next half-yearly meeting. There was a meeting of the Penden Consols Mining Company to-day, at which the accounts uhowed a balance in favour of the mine of £lO5, Zs. dd. A call of 2s. per share was made. The English Stock Market continues in a very Inactive state, but the quotations are well main tained. Speculation is temporarily suspended, and few purchases for investment are reported. Many of the operators are now waiting to see how the exchanges will be quoted this afternoon, and the movement, whatever it may be, will no doubt exert some influence upon quotations. Consols are 'about 981 1 for money, and 981 for the account. Bank Stock is very firm, viz. 225. The New 3 per Cents, have been dealt in at 971, and also the Reduced. The New 21 per Cents. are steady at 1324, and Long Annuities at 181. India Stock is Marked 223 to 224, and the Debentures of the 2d issue 997.

Intercolonial Shares are 8 a prem. A very limited amount of business has been re ported in. the Railway Share Market, and most of the principal lines show a further decline of about K a to per cent. South-Westerns and Midlands declined ss. ; and Great Northern, North 'Western., and North-Eastern (Berwick), 10s. ; Eastern Counties, and Manchester, Sheffield, and L incoln improved about ss. The Foreign lines have been very inactive, and prices are quite nomi nal. In the Colonial market East Indian have receded 10s. to 15s. ; Great Western of Canada, ss. ; and Grand Trunk of Canada, to £1 10s. Joint-Stock Bank Shares have been dealt in to a limited extent. London Chartered of Australia unproved about 55., London and County 55., and Union of London ss. London Joint-Stock receded about 58.

CRIMINAL COURT.--(THIS DA E) Basineee Done. OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) CARD SHARPING. William Thomas, a respectably dressed man, aged 45, was indicted for obtaining, by false and fraudulent pre tences, a gold watch and chain from William North. The prisoner was also indicted for conspiracy. Mr. Ribton appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Met calfe defended the prisoner 92 85## Mr. Ribton, in addressing the jury, said the prisoner was indicted under the provisions of 8 and 9 Vic., cap. 109, sec. 17. The prosecutor was a gentleman residing at Cardiff, and while visiting London he took a trip to Woolwich on board one of .the steamboats, when he was accosted by a man on board the boat, and a lively conversation ensued. The result was jr.A North was invited to partake of a glass of ale, and for this purpose on leaving the boat they both went to the Pier Hotel. When there the prisoner followed by another man entered, and cards were produced and shuffled. Three cards were produced, two black and one red. The feat was to discover the red card after the three had been shuffled. The prosecutor was induced to stake his watch for a bet of ten pounds, which, it was needless to say, was lost, and from various circumstances that occurred he believed he had been the victim of a conspiracy, in which the prisoner had taken part -105 4 1 1 I The following witnesses were then called .-- 621 2 i 2 193 i 3 Mr. Augustus North said—l am a brewer residing at Cardiff, and in July last I was in London. I went from thence to Woolwich on board the steamboat, where I met a person to whom I spoke. After we had been in conversa tion for some time, he asked me to have some ale. I even tually went with him to the Pier Hotel, and we had some ale. After we had been there a short time the prisoner and another man came in. and began talk about a ring, which they wanted me to purchase. I said I did not want it, and then the cards were introduced, and they began to bet about finding the red card. I told one of the men in the room I knew where the red card was, and they said to me, " Why don't you bet ?" I said, " I have left my purse in London," and they then said, " Why don't you stake your watch ?" I closely observed the cards, and feeling confident I knew which was the red card I staked my watch as a security for a bet of £lO. I turned up the card, and instead of the red card it turned out to be a black one. The watch was taken up, and after some arrangement it passed into the prisoner's possession, who told me if I came to his residence, in High-street, Paddington, and gave him £2 I could have the watch, and he would rely upon my honour for receiving the remaining £8 when I returned to Cardiff. I went to my uncle's- • (laughter)—immediately after I lost my watch, and after that I went to the place mentioned by the prisoner with the £2, but I could not find him. I have no doubt, while I was taking off my watch the cards were changed. I value my watch at £l5, and the chain at £3 10s. Mr. Metcalfe—What should you havo done with the £lO note, supposing you had turned up the red instead of the black card ? Would you not have picked up both it and your watch, and put them in your pocket ? Prosecutor—Yes, no doubt I should. (Laughter.) 55 iiii 51a n 1 I ni Mil 5 93i1111 36 5i 97i f 67 561 1 717 03} i 4 761 6 4 101 741 i The Recorder—As I said before, we must have some proof that the game was unfair. At present there is not the slightest. The prosecutor makes the bet, thinking he had the advantage, as he had seen the cards. Mr. Ribton—The cards were changed. The Recorder—There is no evidence of that. We may all of us have our suspicions, but you must produce evi dence. The prosecutor thought he had chosen the right card, but it turned out he was mistaken. If people will be so foolish as to bet under such circumstances, they must put up with the consequences. The jury, without hearing the counsel for the prisoner, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoner was then again indicted, charged with ob taining money by false pretences, and also with conspiracy. Thomas Haywood said—l live at Leicester, and am an engineer in the Royal Navy. On the 26th of August I met a man on board of one of the Woolwich boats who entered into conversation with me. On our arrival at Woolwich we, at his suggestion, went to the Pier Hotel. We had some ale, and in a short,time after the prisoner and another man came in. A conversation then arose respecting some rings, but the cards were introduced, and he asked me if I would have a cut at the cards. The prisoner and the card man began cutting the cards for a ring. The game was changed, and three cards were introduced. I was then asked to bet. The person I met on board the boat pressed me to bet. I never had a chance of winning. (Laughter.) The prisoner asked me to play. We began betting 55., and the bets rose to £5. I continued playing until I had lost £l5. I then said I should go and fetch a policeman, as I believed there had been cheating. The prisoner said he would go with me. We went as far as the pier and were unable to find a constable. The prisoner, while we were waiting on the pier, said, "There's a policeman," and run away, but the constable brought him back. When we re turned to the public-house, the other two men had gone. Mr. Metcalfe—Supposing you had won, you would have put the money in your pocket, and said nothing about it ? Witness—l suppose I should ; but I never had the ehance ? (Laughter.) Mr. Metcalfe—Two black and ono red suit cards were placed on the table, and you thought your eyes were quick enough to watch the red one. You then bet and turn up, the card you imagine to be the red, and it turns out to be the black one. Witness—Yes ; but I believe the card I wanted vanished before I had the chance of picking it up. (Laughter.) The Recorder—Did you see what became of the remain der of the pack ? Witness—After the three cards were selected I never saw the pack again. The Recorder—Were the remaining two cards turned up after you had made your choice to show you that the red one was there ? 1.41 ft 1 99 i 23 120 1 1 105 24} 102} Witness—No, never. The other cards were never shown t. me. The Recorder—Never turned up ? Witness—Never. They were taken up and shuffled again The Recorder—How many times did you bet ? Witness—About ten or a dozen times. Mr. Ribton—How many times did you win ? Witness—Not once. William Wilkinson, a police-constable, said—l took the prisoner into custody on the 26th Augus:;. I asked him if he had been playing at cards, but he said " No." The prosecutor identified him as the man. The watch that be longed to Mr. North was found upon him. Mr. Metcalfe—Said there was no evidence of conspiracy. The Recorder—l think there is. I don't say how much, but I think there is enough to go to the jury. Mr. Metcalfe then addressed the jury on the part of the prisoner, and contended that no case of fraud had been proved against the prisoner; the evidence showed that the prosecutor had been deceived by slight of hand. Theßecorder, in summing up the evidence, dwelt strongly upon the circumstance that the three cards were never once turned up to prove that the red one was amongst them. If such had been the case, it was not too much to expect that when the police were threatened to be sent for, as there was reason to believe that cheating had been going on, the prosecutor would have been shown the cards to convince him the red card was there, and that he had made a blunder in not discovering it. The jury found the prisoner guilty of conspiracy. The Recorder asked if the prisoner was known. A City police-constable said he knew the paisoner as a card-sharper. He, in company with three others, were constantly to be seen in the neighbourhood of Tower-hill. The Recorder, in passing sentence, said he had no oubt the prisoner had for a long time been carrying on his dis honest practices ; he should therefore sentence him to 18 smiths' imprisonment with hard labour.: THIS DAY'S MARKETS.

LITERATURE. Five Years of It. By Alfred Austin. 2 vols. Hope. These volumes - will afford amusement in their perusal. There is a great variety met with in their contents, and the different incident recorded display a consid era bl e k no wledge of li. Edgar Huntingdon, the hero, is an excellent character ; firm and self-reliant in difficulties, but ever ready to sympathise with o th ers , and eager to render assistance to the unfortunate. He presents a striking contrast to his friend Cooper, who is weak and vacillating, and who sinks under trouble in stead of rousing hi s energ i es to meet it. His fate is a most melancholy one. Some of the scenes are very cleverly sketched ; as, for instance, the one where Bingham leads in Miss Fairfort to denounce Edgar, and in turn is discomfited himself. The very evidence he was going to bring against his enemy furnish e d overwhelming proofs of his own guilt. Annette Fairfort is a pleasing portrait. She does not app ear muc h, b u t what is seen of her exhibits firmness and prudence that is not often to be found in girls brought up and influenced as she was. Lord Fairfort i s a bly described as an imper sonation of family pride carried to an absurd degree. There are passages of considerable inte rest met with in the records of the adventures of some persons introduced in the story, to whom Edgar Huntingdon was of signal service. With out possessing any striking merits, this novel may rank above the common, and the high principles advocated in its pages render it deserving of regard. Old Tom . Mainstay . The Secret of a Life. By M. M. Bell, author of " Deeds not Words,' &c. Routledge. There is a great amount of ability apparent in this work ; and, although some parts of the story can certainly be called extravagant, there is a degree of fascination in its description that carries the reader irresistibly along to the conclusion. The heroine, Ellen . Egerton, is a charming character. Had she been fortunate in her family and friends, had she been better influenced, she might have at tained to an exalted standard of excellence. In her disposition there were the germs of pure and noble qualities. She was remarkably unfortunate in the circumstances that attended her return to her father's house, after an absence of many years. Her father was a very peculiar man, not at all cal culated to be of service to her ; her stepmother was kind to her, but she was a very vain, foolish woman, intent on forwarding the pet schemes she delighted in concocting. Reginald Stanhope, the hero, is not at all an estimable character. He was weak, un stable, and irresolute. For the sake of expediency, and to avoid the occurrence of awkward events, he submitted to the most flagrant injustice that could have been devised : One cannot fail to feel regret at the cruel sufferings that the gentle Ellen under went ; but the same sympathy cannot extend to Stanhope, for he made no effort to free himself from the snares into which malice had entrapped him. No man of spirit, or of a right sense of honour, would have tamely submitted to such an outrage. The only paint in which Ellen erred was in con senting to the hasty marriage with Reginald Stanhope. She acted against her conscience in agreeing, and the regret that awaits such actions was indeed swift in overtaking her with its aveng ing, footsteps. The authoress has displayed con siderable insight into the passions and prejudices of mankind ; and in recording some of those scenes of anguish which call forth the deepest and strongest feelings of human nature, she may be said to be very successful. Heraldry in History, Poetry, and Romance. By Th E is ll i e s n a J s . o A m lil el ln v i h g at to n n o . vel C fi ha el p d m fo a r n a and Hall. y to enter upon ; 'but the authoress has acquitted herself with credit. It is not everyone who cares to devote much time to the study of heraldry, and there are fewer still, We suspect, who would elevate it to the lofty position claimed for it by its present chroni cler, but the authoress has contrived to mingle quo tation, reference, and anecdote in such pleasant variety that many might find entertainment in turning over her pages. The accounts of the diffe rent ceremonies of installation, the historical re cords of the orders, the circumstances of their in stitution, and the many allusions to old songs or legends are full of interest. Sir Walter Scott's readers will, as Miss Millington observes, be better able to appreciate the influence of heraldry in the middle ages - than others. In Quentin Durward, Rouge-Sanglier, and his associates, occupy a pro minent position, and the description of " Sir David Lindesay, of the Mount, Lord Lyon King-at-Arms," in Marmon, is so appropriate to the present volume, that the passage is quoted at-length. The following extract from the preface sets_ forth the heraldry for useful purposes :—" Heraldry was originally, and it ought again to be, identified with deeds great, because good. and with distinctions going before to judgment' as heralds, and mani fest before hand as preludes of the final victory and the eternal reward. Still, ,while recognising, in the first place, the high religious and moral sig nificance of heraldry, it must not be forgotten,— and this, in our practical age, will perhaps be one of its surest clauns to respect,—that, viewed in connection with history, it is of infinite value and importance, and has been found use ful in elucidating points of law, and deciding genealogical questions, while, as an emi nent American writer has observed, coats-of-arms and mottos often illustrate, and even afford a clue to national character." The author has evidently bestowed much time and labour on the compilation of her work, and if so obsolete a science seems scarcely worth the trouble at the present day, it will be undoubtedly a useful guide to antiquarians, and all who wish to prosecute inquiries among the genealogical or traditionary legends of the middle ages. Photographic Portraits of Liczng Celebrities. Maull and hilyblanic. - We have before had occasion to notice this ad mirable series of photographs, which include many of the most eminent names of the present day. The skilful arrangament of light and shade throws out the figure with unusual distinctness, and though, of course, they are more or less successful, they generally give the impression of being correct like nesses. Among those recently published are Mr. Gladstone, Sterndale Bennett, Dr. Livingstone, and Daniel Maclise. One of the recommendations of this gallery of portraits is its c omprehensiveness. It includes men distinguished in every grade of life, men of science, mechanicians, authors , musicians , painters, soldi ers , l awyers , actors, re formers ; a n d if it proceeds statesmen, with the same ability and success it will be the best national portrait gallery eve r offered - to the public. Quicksands. A Tale, by Anna Lisle, author of " Self and Self-Sacrifi ce ," &c. Groombridge. Miss Lisle ha s already won the approbation of the public by some pleasing domestic stories, and the present work shows considerable promise. She will doubtless become one of those skilful delinea tors of home scenes and characters whose pictures are often more welcome than a startling tragedy or mournful romance. Ti. t plot is _novel, and, if not very probable, displays considerable ingenuity. The characters arc also well drawn and strongly' marked. Helen Grey, the heroine, is by no means a faultless piece of perfection ; indeed she is rather in the other extreme. She has many good quali ties, but her mother's influence over her is most pernicious. One of her most dangerous failings, which has been carefully encouraged by Mrs. Grey, is an excessive love for finery and show of every kind. Mrs. Grey and Helen are constantly endea vouring-to keep up an appearance quite inconsis tent with their position. Great is Mrs. Grey's satisfactionwhen Helen is engaged to John Howard, the only son of a wealthy lady in the neighbour hood, and the brother of Helen's early playfellow. Mrs. Howard is a very superior woman, and has endeavoured to counteract the evil effects of Helen's education. Unhappily, an old friend of Mrs. Grey's appears on the scene, and insists on the mother and daughter paying her a visit at her country house. Helen agrees reluctantly. The month's visit lengthens into two,- and by the time she returns she has deserted John Howard, and engaged her self to Mrs. Huntingdon's son, Arthur. Mrs. Hunt ingdon, for reasons of her own, has forwarded the marriage in every possible way , a kl ed b y M rs. Grey, whose head is turned by the grandeur of the establishment. After her marriage, however, Helen discovers that all is not g o ld t h at g litt ers , and a few years' mournful experience convince her that her husband is a madman. The reasons that influenced Mrs. Huntingdon, and the subsequent fate of Helen, we will leave the reader to ascertain. The plot is well calculated to display th e diff eren t characters. The way in which Helen's jealousy and love of display are made such a temptation to her is very ingenious. John Howard engages much of the reader's interest, though he is occasionally unreasonable. The unfortunate Mr. Huntingdon is ably drawn, and there are many minor characters introduced. One of the most successful of these is Marty, the rustic servant. The high moral tone of the book is much to be commended, but we would suggest to the authoress a little more care & intro ducing sacred subjects. Anything that looks like "preaching" immediately fails of its effect, and Helen's career would teach its own lesson with very little addition. An occasional abruptness in the style, too, might be softened with advantage ; but we have no doubt that, with time and practice, the authoress will take whigh rank among domestic novel writers: THIRD EDITION.
