MONEY ful A ,;:). 11; IN' , 007 T1TZE.CIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. In accordance with the resolution of the Stock Exchange Committee, that establishment has been closed, and the attendance in the City being very limited there has been no business transacted in the Public Funds to yield a reliable quotation. The Bank return for the week ended on the 31st ult, presents some changes of a less favourable character than we have been accustomed to for some' weeks past. The public deposits exhibit a decrease of 62,5091. when compared with last week, which, as a matter of course, is the result of the payments for official expenses and salaries which became due on the 25th ult., and would be dis bursed during the week embraced by the return. The private deposits had diminished to a consider able extent, being 583,727/. less than at the close of the preceding week. The payments into the Exchequer would probably have absorbed the greater part of that amount, for as far as can be gathered from the other items of the return the demand for discounts by the public were very limited, the other securities showing an increase of 51,5331. only. It is, therefore, clear that, what ever may be the ultimate effect of the Bank refusing to re-discount bills, as yet it has brought but little additional business to the national establish ment. The bullion in both departments stands at 18,628,9171., showing a decrease of 104,8981. Of that reduction 64,5531. had occurred in the gold and silver coin in the banking department, indi cating that the usual quarterly disbursements had very materially aided in effecting the reduction in the items. The Reserve of Notes had decreased C 84,0701., but the active circulation had been aug mented by a nearly corresponding amount, viz., 643,7251. Although the return is apparently less favourable than those which have preceded it, there is not the slightest reason for uneasiness on the point, the disturbing causes being evidently those financial movements which invariably accompany the close of the quarter.

From Chili the advices, with respect to the copper mines, is very good, but the business doing was on a rather limited scale, owing to the decline in the price of copper.

The depositions were read over to the witnesses. Mr. Elias Sloman proved the tender of a five pound note as the price of a watch which he sold him, and had a glass of ale on the purchase. He saw no more than one five pound note on the occasion when the watch was purchased.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE IN THE SERPENTINE.—Mary Anne Browning, 28, was placed at the bar, before Mr. Bingham, charged with attempting to commit suicide this morning at the Serpentine. George Dickenson, a private of the 2d battalion of the Grenadier Guards, said that while in Kensington. gardens about six this morning, be saw the prisoner run from the top of the bill to the bottom and into the river. He immediately ran after and called to her, as she was tot very far in, to come out, but she refused, and told him to let her die. He then, seeing she would not come out, went in after her, and after a severe struggle suc ceeded in getting her out. He the❑ assisted in taking her to the receiving-house He had to go in up to his waist after her, and he was sure she meant to commit st•icide. He hal to pull her out by her ancle. Mr. Bingham said his conduct did him much credit. Police -constable Henry Beth said his attention was cal'ed to the prisoner. He went to the receiving-house and took her into custody. Mr. Bingham, observing the prisoner attired in work house clothing, asked the prisoner whether she was in the workhouse, and what was the cause of her acting as she had done! ce sh outo s returof 1 Court, the in t session, 1 circuit, fitted for . 0 of the e one of er.

[ Leaxin, rCompanies, Closing Priers nits lay Thurs Blackwood.--" What will he do with it," brings before us after the lapse of some years the two personages who first attracted our notice, Lionel and his friend,Vance. There is great improvement manifest in Lionel Houghton ; the years that have passed over his head are described as having " de veloped a boy, musing noble dream , , into a man fit for noble action, retaining freshest youth in its enthusiasm, but borrowing from maturity com• pactneas and solidity of idea." Further on we meet Guy Darrell once more alone in his deserted halls. " There, as in a caravanserai, the traveller took his rest, stately and desolate." After a con ference with his old friend Colonel Morley, he saunters out into the streets, and in his wanderings we are afforded a glimpse of his past in his envied prime —as he returns, he is followed by a dark enemy, who, though frustrated for the moment in his evil designs, shadows forth the intention of ono day maturing his revengeful schemes. As may be supposed the form is that of Losely, whom the flight of time has brought lower and lower into the social scale. In the powerful sketch of this man the author has achieved a de cided success, and in the further develop ment of his career he holds out a promise of sustaining, if not aurpassing, his for mer reputation in the mysteries of romance. An article on " The New Administration" is written with vigour and spirit. While rejoicing at the return of the Conservatives to power, there is no party bitterness in the tone, and no unfair assumption of superiority in the arguments of the writer. He commences by asserting that the " Earl of Derby bears a name never associated with finesse. What he promises he will perform. He did not seek office—he even sought to avoid it. It came to him." And then goes on to recapitulate and comment on the important occurrences that have recently taken place. In treating of the refugee question, he gives it as his opinion that Lord Palmerston's conduct regarding the Conspiracy Bill was not an intentional desertion of the national honour, but a fatal error he committed from his overweening opinion of his power in the House. After dwel ling on the energies and abilities of the members of the Government, and the policy that will be in all probability pursued by them, it is remarked, in conclusion : " We have no doubt that the great desire of the Oppo sition leaders is to get the new Ministry turned out as fast as possible. The ex-Ministerial chiefs, whether of the Palmerston or Russell sect, will be bent upon nip ping in the bud the development of their rivals' policy, from a well-founded dread lest the number, comprehen siveness, and ability of the measures of the new Cabinet should quite eclipse the feeble and all but barren ses sions of the recent Liberal regime. This was the tactics of the Opposition in 1852, and there is much greater motive for them to repeat these tactic 3 now. But can they ? We do not believe it. We do not apprehend that the ex-Ministerial chiefs will obtain sufficient sup port from the house to enable them to carry out such fac tious designs. The Conservatives succeeded to office simply by the failure of their rivals, a , :d after a career i❑ Opposition more free from factious courses than any five sessions of Parliament that the present generatio❑ has witnessed. Lord Derby has formed his Ministry entirely on the principle of securing the most efficient men ;and in point of talent and administrative skill it may challenge comparison with the very best of its pre• deces•Jors. Its members are in earnest, fully competent for their work, and bent upon accomplishing it. They kill accomplish it, if the house give them the opportu nity. Difficulties of no ordinary kind they certainly have to encounter ; but we confidently believe they will triumph over them, and that the house will support them with that constitutional' majority to which they are so amply entitled." The paper, entitled " A Few Words on Social Philosophy, by one who is no Philosopher," is well worthy of perusal. It is written in a very agree able style, and can hardly fail to afford satisfac tion. "Rambles round Glasgow" contain inter- esting information to those desirous of improving their acquaintance with that locality ; while the chronicles of a "Journey from Spain to Pied- mont " present the variety of foreign travel. Among the other subjects met with iu this num ber are " The Missionary Explorer," which refers to Dr. Livingstone, and some remarks on " The Rival India Bills." Dublin University.—" Gerald Fitzgerald" is continued. The unfortunate youth appears in this portion of the narrative to be plunged into the depths of misery, and, to complete his dilemmas, the old man with whom he is staying at the Tana, conceives a dislike to him : this dis• like is changed to a deadly► hatred, owing to some cause of offence, and, with the Italian spirit of revenge, he meditated to make away with his victim. Forewarned, Gerald departed over the mountains to Tuscany, while his enemy had hastened in a contrary direction to meet the destined murderer. " The Legend of the Golden Prayers" is pleasing. The story is told in verse, it relates how a lady summoned from church to attend a death-bed, found on her return that au angel had written, in letters of gold, the pages in her breviary that she had missed. In another form it seems to represent the idea of Coleridge— " Ho prayeth best, who loveth best, AN things both great and small." " Recent Oxford Literature," is an able article, which enters into the subject with skill and energy. After rendering ample justice to the attainments of Oxford celebrities, the writer points out the errors of judgment, and extravagan c i es o f opiniox into which many have fallen, in a candid manner, and with great justness of discrimination. He states their weak point to be a kind of logical madness, " Put them on a premiss and they push down the inclined piano to a conclusion, however perilous or extravagant." After dwelling on the instances adduced, the opinion here expressed seems correct that there is something morbid iu the way in which Oxford intellect blossoms into literature. The poetical reader will find an attraction in " A Vision of Perpe tual Spring," which describes the progress of the advancing season in glowing colours. The youth of the year is always a welcome subject for the mind to contemplate, but the language of poetry is the fittest exponent of its glories. " Life and DeAth in Tipperary" is a story founded on fact, and is full of adventure, strife, and peril at the outset. Considerable interest will be felt in the " Martial Incidents in Oude," which are here met with. It is observed that the great defence of Lucknow is an event in Indian history which has no parallel since the conquest of OLIVE, and the moral dignity exhibited by the British soldier has shown oar superiority more than the most brilliant exploits in the open field. - - : ads., 1 the same trees year after year ; the same hi-rile comirg here to the harsh human judgment, which will i back in spring to the Rama shrubs • the swam hanks covered wall the same flowers, and 'broken (if they ts. arrogate to itself tha exclus , ve night o!

Mr. Scott's, T. Taylor's, &c., are expected this dv.y (Satur day.) MALTON.—Star of the East, Streamer, Woo,a.NymPbt and Stanza are expected to leave here for lie,wmarket. RICHMOND.—Vedette and Ignoramus da y ° h ere for Newmarket. " Wonderful, indeed, must be the digestive powers of Eunice, for it has not less than 2SO stomachs ! Think of that, Mr. Alderman. " Its other appliances and means are on the same scale; for, besides the great canals which pervade the body from one extremity to the other, Eunice possesses 550 bran chite, 600 hearts, and a simiLr number of primary ar teries and veins.' Its muscular system is in accordance with this abundance, for each ring is supplied by some 120 muscles, ' and if we take into account those of the proboscis and head, we shall find that the entire animal moves by the action of more than 30,000 muscles.' Our author confesses, it is true, that he has not yet been able to complete his observations on the anatomy of this complicated animal as perfectly as he could have wished, but he adds that the numbers may at all events be re garded as approximating very closely to the truth." " Squire Bolton's Transgression" is the title of a story by the author of Meg of Elibank," and gives a pleasant picture of country life in the last century. An Anglo-Indian view of the Indian crisis contains some sound and liberal reasoning as to the system of education to bo pursued in the Government schools : " Most sincerely do we believe that the Indian Go vernment has, in its real toleration of all religions, acted with that justice which is in itself one of the highest re ligious duties, and at the same time done far more for Christianity than if it had pursued a contrary policy. It has been a true instinct which has made the India❑ Government feel that its first duty is to hold India— that everything must be subordinated to that. Let the missionaries preach, let the Bible societies distribute their bibles, and God speed them in their labours. But let the Government use as its weapons of pro selytism those only which it has used before. Let it labour for order ; let it labour to teach Asiatics the supremacy and the equality of law ; let it take care that the European, while govern ing the native, does not domineer over him ; that India is held by Europeans for the natives, and not for them selves; let it make railways, let it multiply roads and telegraphs ; let it give to its subjects the power of reading and writing; let it prepare them for the exten sion of the power of the press ; let them wield the , e weapons, the right to use which cannot be gainsayed, and fearlessly leave the result to God. Thus will the Indian Government truly reverence the Lord of Jehovah, and not by teaching the Church Catechism." Tho most interesting of the remaining papers is one on " Chapelle and Bachaumont," by the author of " Headlong Hall." HORSES STRUCK OUT OP TZ.EIR ENGAGE• MENTS.

Bentley's Miscellany.--A paper on " The new Ministry" takes a very fair view of their position and capabilities, strongly insisting on their right to fair play and unprejudiced criticism. " Rushing headlong into Marriage" is the title of a story, which will probably be resumed in the next num ber. It censures with justice the absurd and pre tentious fashion of persons of moderate income living far beyond their means, and endeavouring to keep pace with those above them—a system that has ruined the comfort wad respectability, and darkened the lives of whole families. In thi , miserable race of gentility none ever reach the . goal, but all in tu rn su ff er th e annoyance an d mor Inca ti ea of defeat, and the anxiety and restlessness produced by the consciousness of unpaid bills. This skeleton in the cupboard of many a stylish household is brought to light in the little domestic tale before us, which narrates the varying fortunes of two sisters, through following the different methods of extravagance and economy. Monks hood continues his "Retrospectivelteviewals," and summons Horace Walpole before his tribunal. He gives us a pleasant paper on his character and style. The second part of " Heiresses" bringi the story to a satisfactory conclusion. "Thanatos Athanates " also proceeds in its usual meandering style. Two papers on " The French in Canton," and on " Oude and the Defence of Lucknow," treat of subjects which have occupied a large share of the public attention, but whose interest is now subsiding. In speaking of the latter, the writer expresses a hope that, while misrule and anarchy are replaced in Oede by a better government, the error will not be committed of leaving to a handful of men the preservation of " a kingdom bristling with forts, and a race the boldest in India," resent ing any rule which interferes with their marauding habits. Mr. Dudley Costello continues his story of "Faint Heart never won Fair Lady" with more perseverance than originality. Colburn's United Service.—The chief interest of this magazine is divided between India and China, though a preliminary paper on the " Sanitary Condition of the British Army" treats of a subject which must naturally be of much importance to its military readers. Mr. Roes' interesting narrative of the siege of Luckuow receives a cordial tribute of sympathy and approval. A criticism on the Marquis of Dalhousie's administration of India accords to that statesma❑ a larger share of credit and ability than has been usually allotted to him. The series of papers on the " Seat of Insurrection" describes Rohilcund, Furruckabad, and the dis tricts of the Jumna. " Oude, and its royal family," and will interest many whose attention has been at tracted by the recent events. " Cairn and the Chinese" is the name of a paper that gives some interesting pictures of life in the Celestial Empire. The notes on military science are continued, and a great portion of the magazine is occupied by the naval and military intelligence, the stations of the militia, the lists of promotions and appointments, anti similar intelligence. Fraser.—The accomplished author of "The His tory of Civilisation" has recently delivered a dis course at the Royal Institution, on " The 'nth -- enca of Women on the Progress of Knowledge." MISCELLANEOUS MAGAZINES. This lecture is given in the present number of Fraser, and affords its readers au opportunity of Tait contains its usual variety of tales, articles, becoming acquainted with the style and opinions and miscellaneous papers suggesting thought and • of that able writer.

The following letter has been addressed to the Editor of the Daity News : send you a copy of a document which seems to me, as a specimen of tyrannical debauche, worth a page of Tacitus. It is one of the so-called sentences—they are all like—in virtue of which a man is arreTted and clrried away to Africa, under the imperial rule. I salad the French text to avoid all doubt concerning the faithfulness of a transla tion:— Pr6feciure de Vaucluse, Minisare de Pint 6rieur et de la Stlrete—ten6rale.—lbre Diviiion.—ler Bureau.

Let your readers weigh the words of the law which rules now individual liberty in France. A man has been, deservedly or not, under an ex ceptional, extra legal state of things, visited seven, nine, or ten years ago—in May and June, 1848, for instance, when Louis Napoleon was not even Presi dent—with a punishing measure applied to him without a trial, summarily, in the name of threat ened public safety. He has been interne, thrown out of the country, or transported. He has under gone his punishment. He has fully expiated his probable or possible political guilt. A circular from Paris enjoins the department au thorities to clear France of all men who might en danger imperial rule. The department authorities, the prefet, the commanding general, and the go vernment's attorney, consult the lists of seven, nine, or ten years ago. About every name they find, they seek information from the local police : is such a man likely to prove some day or other dangerous? Yes ; some unknown spy has handed over an unfavourable rapport about him. The man is suddenly arrested and transported to Algeria. Retroactivity of the law—an extra-legal measure given as ground to an actual, summary, heavy punishment—an expiated probable or possible fault, taken as a guidance for actual visitation, no trial, no interrogatory, no judges of the case, the absolute irresponsible will of three public func tionaries—all these features are combined in the monstrous achievement. In the special case, the s o e f n t t h e man now shipped to Afri ca , was mere l y sent to the n interior ounced against a i s t Francehim in n lB t h s e 2. ground The ne f e or p m r e o r measure is incompar a bl y h eavier. e . Hundreds of men, merchants, lawyers, working men, are now, from every French locality, trans ported, under a sentence like the one I send. From March 14 downwards, every night a convoi of prisoners has reached Marseilles, each convoi con taining from 30 to 40 persons. The men they doomed have been generally invited, for the sake of avoiding scandal, to the Prefecture, to hear some communication relating to their private interests. And this is called a government, a normal legal power worth alliances, protection, anti-conspiracy to-murder bills and press prosecutions I This we are called on to respect. April 1. JOSEPH MAZINI.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE ET SIGNOR Bosco.—During the present week, Signor Bosco, the renowned Wizard of the World, has been performing nightly before large audiences in the Assembly-room of the Free-trade Hall, night he had, as usual, a O l ro a wled t house, On se,and T h ilu is r P la erf Y ormances and tricks were as clever as ever, and nothing extraordinary was noted in his demeanour. On his returning to his lodgings after the performance had concluded, something appears to have suddenly crossed his mind, and tempted him to commit the rash act of suicide by throwing himself into a pit in a brick croft, situated about a mile from his lodgings, and behind Strangeways Hall. He appears to have been f )110 wed by his wife, whose screams for help when she saw him in the pit attracted a policeman to the spot. With some little difficulty the officer succeeded in dragging the signor out of the water, and he was then taken to the police-station, where he now remains ap -1 parently "all right again."

RAILWAY COMMUNICATION WITH THE NORTH OF 000 T! LAND.—It will no doubt be interesting to the travelling public, and to lessees of grouse and deer shootings, to know that, with the exception of 18 miles (between Elgin and Keith),,there is now unbroken railway com munication between London and Inverness. The last finished portion of the Inverness and Aberdeen Juno tiou (the portion between Dalvey and Elgin) is now open, and there can be no doubt that by the 12th Aug. the entire lino will be in working operation; after which period, the mails leaving L )radon at 8 p.m., will arrive at the Highland capital about the same hour on the fol lowing evening. The only engineering difficulty, it Way be mentioned, in the portion of the line unfinished is the bridge over the Spey, which is proceeding satitifac• tray. BOYHOOD or LORD BACON.—Francis Bacon was born in the Strand, iu 1051. His health was delicate ; and by his gravity of carriage, and love of sedentary pursuits, he was distinguished from other boys. While a mere child, he stole away from his playfellows to a vault in James's-fields, to investigate the cause of a singular echo which he had observed there ; and when only twelve, he busied himself with speculations on the art of leger demain. At thirteen he was entered at Trinity College, Cambridge, which he left after a residence of three years, " carrying with him a profound contempt for the course of study pursued there, a fixed conviction that the system of academic education in England was radically vicious, a just scorn for the trifles on which the followers of Aristotle had wasted their powers, and no great reve rence for Aristotle himself," kMacaulay.) Such was the foundation of Bacon's philosophy.—limbs' School-. Days of Eminent Men. YOUNG LADIES.-0110 of the great social evils of this age is admitted to be the reluctance of our young men to early marriages. They won't marry now, we are told, as they used to do, and ought to do, on 3001. a-year. Depend upon it, in many and many a case it is not the odd hundred or two that is wanting—it's the attraction. We have lost that joyous and familiar intercourse be- tween neighbours' families, where young people's indivi dualities had space and opportunity to develops them- selves, and heart met heart. Our modish Cupid has overstrung his bow—his arrows don't hit home. Young ladies hide away the key of their hearts so carefully tkat nobody thinks it worth looking for. Who is to choose "the one" out of a bevy of proper-behaved damsels like a row of hollyhocks, differing only in height and shape and colour ? They all look alike, dress alike, talk alike, and walk alike ; and, for anything that appears to the contrary, think alike and feel alike. Why, such a choice is an act of deliberate intention—matrimony pre pense ; few men hive the nerve to venture upon it. No wonder they calculate the probable butchers' and bakers' bill before they take such a plunge as that. Don't fsncy that I talk like a cynical old bird, not to be o caught with chaff. I take as the exponent of what my feelings would be if I were young, and open as I once war to the conviction of bright eyes, my nephew, Jack Hawthorne, not long home from the Crimea, mix feet one, independent, hairy as a Sky terrier, brave as a y. hound, and I should say impressible decidedly.

MAN LOST IN they're all young Lee, port Philip deal 'er in stock was lost in a fortniht ego a an d op to the time of his return —some three the bush, d a ys afterwards—no tidings kad been received of bird The The circumstances of the case are these :—Two I p u : r p t i e s from Victoria rode up to a station on the Bogart who has just ! a bout the time specified, and remained for then ght. returne On the following morning they started for their horses, which had been turned out on the previous night, when one of theta made off, and his owner when last seen was in pursuit. Not returning in the course of the day, his mate and a black fellow started in quest of him, and although they came upon the tracks, both of man and horse, they did not succeed in coming up with either. On the following miming two black fellows started upon the track, which they ftllawed up a distance of 10 miles in the direction of the La plan, observing as they passed along that in some places the imprint of his feet were eLt beingin , E 4 f t r h o m e y w d h i i s c a h p c p i e r a o r u e m d,. alone clearly d t i h sc e er h n o ib rs le e , those of stances it was ev dent that he had overtaken his animal and occasionally mount Id him. After beating about until completely wearied, they came upon the horse, but saw nothing of the missing man, whose only chance of safety consisted in his making for the Lachlan—a die tance of about 20 miles from the spot where the horse was found ; but as there is not a drink of water in the intervening country, it is much to be feared that he has perished. When he started away he had upon his per son from 300/. to 4001, in notes, which he intended to lay out in stock. It will be recollected that it ITA3 in the same fearfully arid country that Mr. Stewart lost his life some seven or eight years ago, from thirst—a fate which in all probability has overtaken the union ! 4 / 7 2 tunate stranger.-4440 24 100 54 100 100 100 100 100 26i 1 1311 20 st. st. st. 20 123 25 20 St. 100 100 400 100 100 all all IN 12' 17s 1715 " 17s 16115; 40 1256 20 10 50 1.00 St. 10 25 10 10 50 50 50 100 [ Do...
