We are glad to see in the present work that the author has taken the advice given him from more than one quarter to do himself jus tice, and with his unquestionable knowledge of sporting matters to introduce a thorough sporting gentleman and not confine himself to the tagrag and blbtail of the hunting field, nor to the loafers who follow a hunt for the sake of an invitation. AT Jovey Jessop is decidedly the most respectable character yet introduced by the author into any of his novels, and we trust that he will sustain this gentleman's character to the end of the work. ari a Graham ; or, the Old Home and the New.

A Simple and pleasing story, narrating the for tunes of a y oung l a d y l e f t a l one i n th e wor ld, w h o d evotes_ hers e lf t o wor k s o f c h ar ity an d u tility. She resolves upon continuing her single life, and shrinks from the thought of change. However, she meets with a gentleman who is about to emi grate to Australia, who induces her to change her mind. She becomes his wife and accompanies him to his new home. We have some agreeable pic tures of colonial life given us, and the tale ends by leaving the hero and heroine in doubt whether or no t hey shall avail themselves of a favourable oppor tunity of returning to their native country. There is nothin g very striking in its pages, but it gives s ome pleasing pictures of home and colonial life. HONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. Advices from the various manufacturing districts mention that during the past week there has been little change of importance in the general tendency °f business. The woollen trade, at Leeds, has been Inactive, but the manufacturers were tolerably em ployed upon contract orders. At Manchester business has been dull, and the inquiries for the 40 Ille trade and for exportation have been unim portant. A steady inquiry has prevailed for Wools and yarns at Bradford, and the hosiery trade it Leicester has continued brisk. At Birmingham, S heffield, and Wolverhampton, there has been little 41 trige in the general aspect of affairs. In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday a 'kali amount of business was transacted, at previ i°4B rates, The sales were about 4,500 bales. The . 441 lway Share Market closed quietly, and prices were lower. A further sum of £ll,OOO was withdrawn from the Bank of England:on Saturday. The sum of £14,688 was paid into the Indian Treasury on Saturday to the credit of the Madras I rrigation and Canal Company, making, with pre vious deposits, a total of £490,458. The Directors of the Punjaub Railway have, in t loUpliance with the wishes of the shareholders, te liolved to make a call of £2, payable at the end of June, and of £3 at the end of September, instead of one demand of £5. Notwithstanding the large amount of accommo dation obtained last week the demand continues *itive, and it is imagined that the market will Nein a very animated appearance until after the liquidation of the commercial accounts on the 4th 'lot. is completed; even then the stringency now e Zperienced may be prolonged, as the dividend payments, which are expected to produce relief, will not come into operation until some days after. During the month of March the amount paid for dividends on English mining shares was £44,106. By the Cape mail, just arrived, intelligence is Richards, of the steam transport Powerful, Captain Aichards, from London to China, belonging to the Greek and Oriental Steam Navigation Company, Which arrived at Simen's Bay, Cape of Good Hope, on February 20th, after a fine run of 16 days from Ascension. The steam transport Thunder, No. 1, had also arrived at Simon's Bay. The Powerful nude the passage from the Downs to Simon's Bay in 42 days, including stoppages at the various coal ing stations. The English Stock Market at the commencement of the business was in a dull and depressed condition, efoornegtiinnued sales being encouraged by the state of politics, the irritation created by the Opinions expressed in reference to the Savoy ques tion, and the stringency felt in monetary circles Business has been transacted in Consols at 93 i 94 1 for m oney, and 94 to 949 for account. recovery, however, has since taken place, the quotations being 54* I and 94± respectively.

The supplies of wheat on sale in the :leading provincial markets held on Saturday were only moderate. Compared with the early part of the week there was much less ac tivity in the demand ; nevertheless no change of import ance took plat in prices. For all spring corn the inquiry ruled firm at extreme currencies. 1856, Most of the continental markets continued steady for wheat on rather higher terms. In spring corn, for fog - ward shipment, an extensive business has been transacted at extreme rates. Both wheat and flour have been rather heavy in the United States. 1 The arrivals of home-grown produce up to our market, last week, were limited, and the imports were trifling, viz , 731 quarters of wheat, 1,540 barley, 1,590 oats, 630 beans, 75 peas, 590 tares, 12,665 linseed, 6,730 rapeseed, 650 maize, 65 sundry seeds, 73 sacks, and 169 barrels of flour. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market, this morning, coastwise and by land-carriage, were again limited ; ho waver, the show of samples of both red and whits qualities was small. Notwithstanding that the attendance of millers was by no means extensive, the demand for all kinds of home-grown wheat was steady, and the bulk of the supply on offer was disposed of, at fully last Monday's ad • Vance in the quotations. We had a very small supply of oats on offer, and nearly the whole of the samples were cleared off at full currencies. Beans commanded fully late rates, but the demand for them was by no means active. Pcas moved off steadily on former terms. The flour trade was healthy, and prices were well sup ported. The show of fereign wheat was very moderato. The finest samples sold to a fair extent, at full quotations ; but all other kinds were a dull inquiry, at late quotations. Floating cargoes of grains were a dull sale, at previous currencies. We were very scantily supplied with both English and foreign barley. All kinds moved off slowly, and prices were well supported. In malt, however, only a limited business was passing, on former terms. CURRENCY PER IMPERTAL MEASURE.

For the time of year, a fair average supply of foreign stock was on offer here, to-day, in moderate condition. From our own grazing districts, the arrivals of beasts fresh up, this morning, were rather on the increase, and of somewhat improved quality. The best Scots and crosses were in fair request, at full prices. Otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, and, in , some instances, the quotations ruled a shade lower. The extreme value for Scots was 4s 10d per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 2,600 Scots, shorthorns, and crosses; and from other parts of England, 220 various breeds ; from Scotland, 150 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 60 oxen, &c. We were moderately well, but not to say heavily supplied with sheep. The best Downs and half-breds moved off steadily, at very full prices. Most other breeds were dull, but not cheaper. The best Downs, in the -stool, sold at 5s 8d ; out of the wool, 4s 8d per Blbs. The lamb trade was somewhat active at extreme rates, viz., Gs to 7s per 81bs. From the Isle of Wight 320 lambs reached us. Calves were in chart and improv4a roquasat, o.t 2a 4d per Sibs more money. There was a moderate inquiry for pigs at full prices.

The prosecutor said that about halt-past eleven on Satur day night he was sitting in his kitchen, when, hearing footsteps overhead in the parlour, he went upstairs, and seeing a light in the parlour he went out of the front door cautiously, closing it after him, and just outside saw the prisoner Holland, whom he at once seized. On looking through the window from the street, he saw the other prisoners in the act of removing a pair of plated candlesticks from the sideboard, and placing them with other property ready for removal. He called " Police 1" upon which some persons came up, and one of them ex claimed " Knife the —1" The two in the parlour (French and Parker) then rushed out of tho room and got over a wall at the rear of the house. The property prepared for removal was of more than .C 6 value, and he had been robbed five times before. In answer to the magistrate the prosecutor said that, one hour previously, he locked the door of the room, leaving the window up about two inches, and afterwards found it thrown open and a wire blind broken down. Committed for trial. CAPE OF GOOD HOPE. PLYMOUTH, APRIL 1. The Union Steam Navigation Company's mail packet Norman, Commander J. Boxer, from the Cape of Good Hope, Feb. 21 ; St. Helena, March 1; and Ascension, March 5, arrived this morning. Her cargo, valued at £12,000, includes 289 bales of wool, 200 casks of wines, and ostrich feathers worth £2,000. Among the passengers arc Dr. Dumbroo C. 13 from the Cape ; Dr. Mullins, from St. Helena ; and Captain Courtney, of her Majesty's corvette Archer, 13, from Ascension. The disease in the vine has not been so extensive as was at first expected. The haanepool and mus castel have suffered most. In the Graaf-Reinet division alone the loss of stock by the late drought is estimated at £lOO,OOO. Much squabbling exists among the projectors of the Cape Town and Wellington Railway, and little progress comparatively has been made. The pro posed Wyneberg Railway and the line from Port Elizabeth to Graham's Town are yet in abeyance. The Cape Parliament was further prorogued until March 21. The Supreme Court has declared Mahomedan marriages solemnised without banns to be illegal— a decision which will affect a large portion of the colonial population. Mr. E. C. Turpin, one of the Cape Town Cavalry, has been mortally wounded by a Minie bullet which had become detached, and remained in one of the rifles after ball practice. His funeral was attended by 400 volunteers.

On Tuesday morning, about three o'clock, as two of Sir Thomas Seabright's gamekeepers were on the look-out for a number of poachers they had been informed were in the park and preserves a few hours previous, they met with three men armed with guns in a lonely place called Foul-slough, ad joining Lamb-spring, a lane between the village of Studham and Gadsden-row, situate about half a mile from the mansion, five miles fromHemel Hemp stead, Herts, and two miles from Markyate-street. On getting near to the poachers, John Seabrook, the heat gamekeeper, demanded of them what business they had there. Instead of giving an answer, one of the three trespassers deliberately took aim and fired the contents of his gun, which entered the neck and breast of the keeper, The wounded man made a convulsive spring, fell on his back with a groan, and instantly expired. Another of the gang of poachers shot at Thomas Cook, the second gamekeeper, but the wounds he received were not instantly fatal. The shot entered the lower part of his body and left thigh, leaving him just sufficient strength to reach some cottages standing within 200 or 300 yards, and to give information of what had taken place. A number of men as quickly as possible as sembled, some proceeding to the mansion of Sir Thomas Seabright, Beachwood Park, others to the mill and the farm adjoining the park, others taking the body of poor Seabrook to his cottage, just in side the park. Thomas Cook was also taken to him home at Clemens-end, about a mile from the scene of the murder. Sir Thomas ordered messengers to be sent to Mr. Hubert, surgeon, Markyate-street ; to the superintendents of police at Hemel Hempstead, Herts, and Luton, Beds ; and by 5 o'clock that morning a strong body of police officers and others were scouring the woods, the coppices, and neigh bourhood. Jackson, police-officer of Markyate street, and Townsend, of Water-end, within a short time apprehended a man of the name of George Cain, of Studham, and conveyed their prisoner to the police station at Hemel Hempstead. Cook's wounds are of a very dangerous character, so much so that but faint hopes are entertained of his reco very.

The April Sessions of the Central Criminal Court ccm menced this morning at the Sessions House, Old Bailey, before the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Common Ser geant (in the absence of the Recorder>, Mr. Alderman Lawrence, Mr. Alderman Condor, Mr. Alderman and She riff Phillips, and Alderman and Sheriff Gabriel, the Under Sheriffs, Messrs. Ragleton and Gammon, and other civic authorities. The calendar, owing to the length of time since last ses sions, is numerically heavy, but none of the cases are of a very serious or grave character. The grand jury having been sworn, The Common Sergeant (as Deputy-Recorder) proceeded to deliver his charge, in the course of which, having ad verted to the bill before Parliament for the abolition of the grand jury system, the learned judge said he was not one of those who agreed with the arguments of those who supported the change. The administration of the law in this country was very different to that of other countries. From time immemorial the administrribion:of the law had been in the hands of the people themselves, and not in the hands solely of official and professional persons, and he was sorry to see any changes introduced which would interfere with what might be considered the natural currents of justice and place it in the hands solely of official and professional men. With theselobservations he referred to the calendar, but he did not think that any of the cases were of sufficient im portance to call for any very lengthened remarks from him. The number of prisoners was 113 ; there were only two cases involving loss of life, but neither of them involved the serious charge of murder. In one case an aged lady had been run over by a Hansom cab in Oxford-street and killed, and the other case was where two youths were racing on ponies, where a child who was in: the road was knocked down and killed ; with regard to the lady, who was 79 years of age, on the Ist of January was passing across Oxford-street, it snowing at the time, when she was knocked down by a Hansom cab, when five or six of her ribs were broken, and from the injuries of which she died, and the only question wag whether there had been such negligence as to amount to manslaughter, and the same question would arise in the second case. There was also a very long case in which some foreigners were charged with conspiracy in obtaining money to the extent of £3OO under false pre tenoes. The learned Judge having briefly referred to two or three other cases, dismissed the jury to their room. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ARTISTS' GENERAL BENEVOLENT: INSTITUTION. 40 - The annual festival of this charity tcok place on Saturday night at the Freemasons' Hall under the presidency of the Right Eon. W. E. Gladstone, Chancellor of the Exchequer. The right lion, gen tleman in proposing the toast of " Prosperity to the Institution," said the society is one which is of a nature that can never be confined to simply recom mending its name, even to an audience favourably disposed. There is something in its nature which gives it a peculiar hold upon the feelings, and likewise requires that we should assure ourselves that iu proposing such' an institution as an object of commendation and support, we are offending rgainst none of those rules of pru dence and good sense which, in this mixed state of things, it is necessary to apply even to the'cantrol of the imptilses of human and Christian lactievo'encr It is not usual, perhaps, that those b. longing:t o . fly special class- should appeal, should join in endeav ouring to concil ate support ffr establishments which have the object of. relieving distre•s oolong the members of that des; themselves. It requii es that we should be convinced there somet ,in; special and peculiar in the condition of the (lass in order to satisfy us that it is altogether wise to attempt special:pro vision which shall possess De mad and title to puolic support. I do not hesitate to say that it appearS to me but too easy to makeout that special claim on behalf of this institution. It is easy on acccunt of abundance of objects which present themselves to your philanthropy, yet, at the same time, it is not " too easy" in one sense, because there is nothing degrading nor dis honouring in this institution to the noble profession which you pursue. Those who are not numbered among the band of artists, who have not been en dowed with those peculiar faculties which mark that description of genius, or, have not had the op pertunity for their exercise, must all feel that they are under permanent obligations to the authors of much innocent delight, so many elevating lessons, so much of useful and practical instruction, and so much power and influence, as art, through the exertions of its professors, brings to bear upon the course and progress of society. It is not merely a rendering of a debt which gratitude must prompt, but it is likewise in meeting and satisfying pecu liar wants which render it right that this institu tion should be commended to public and general support. You have heard pronounced from this chair most intelligent and descring commendation of the management of this institution, and all that I can give in the moments abstracted from other and more labourious duties is little more than the testimony of the sincerity of my feelings which is afforded by my presence among you this evening. (Cheers.) To those who have heard the addresses which have been delivered by my predecessors in the chair it would be needless, and even imperti nent, for me to presume to offer any observations. But it is in the nature of such institutions that what has been very well said should be said again and again, in order to revive, to freshen in the public mind the demands which you so justly' make upon their sympathy and sup port. (Cheers.) You must all have been struck, no doubt, in surveying the state of society, by the marked characteristics in the economical distribu tion of labour, and the rewards attaching to it, in the times in which we live. This is a time in which the highest professors of all the arts and in all the professions, having attained a certain position, can usually command abundant, and in some peculiar cases even splendid means of livelihood. It is also a time when, owing in a great degree to the wise legislation of recent Parliaments, the labouring classes of this country are able to command a rate of remuneration for their toil such as for many long generations has not been the case. But between the great capitalists, the great posseSsors of eststes, and those at the head of the profession upon one side, and the mass of the labouring popu lation '1 upon the other, there are the classes which belong to the intellectual departments, icho dwell in the lower regions of that department, whose remuneration is, in many instances, scanty and even miserable. There is no labour, in fact, in this country so ill paid as that which may be called the labour of educated men in the lower classes of educated men. Art, like everything else, must have among its professors a multitude of shades and degrees of merit and power. It is really astonishing, when we come to consider the power of the human mind as developed in the productions of art, what combination, what concentration of character it requires to produce that something which is represented upon, perhaps, a yard of canvass, which we call a picture. (Cheers.) Slight as they are in fabric, those works are yet reckoned among • the greatest productions of which mankind has been the author. (Cheers.) It is no wonder that in a pursuit which occupies so immeasurable a space between the highest and the lowest grades, we should find persons who grace the courts and the palaces of the land, and who enjoy all that this world can supply, and others who have to encounter the hardest and most painful struggles, and the labours of whose hands with the chisel - or pencil produce them far less than if as mechanics they were engaged in some workshop or foundry. (Cheers.) This state of things is due to the working of those laws which we call political economy, and the operation of which work out great and beneficial results in the end, but which also produce by their action distress and disappointment to many persons. There is this point in connection with the occupation of the artist, that his work must always be to him a labour of love, and the feeling with which for the first time he takes a brush in his hand must be very different from that with which the young man articled to an attorney must commence his la bours. (Cheers.) In my experience of life nothing has struck me more than the high degree of spe ciality, and the peculiar and marked character, which attaches to artists. They seem to stand re moved to a greater distance from other classes, not in sympathy, but in ability to accomplish what they wish. So fares regards their habits of perception and the exercise of the powers necessary for their art,they seem to have a most absorbing power, such as in many instances may disqualify for the homelier opera tions of the business of life; and though no man can be dispensed from the duties of the daily performance of life, yet this incapacity does attach in some de gree, to the pursuits of his art, and where an unfor tunate incapacity for the performance of these duties is found, it is far less culpable, and should be visited with far less severity, than iu the case of ordinary men. (Cheers.) Anothers peculiarity in the case of artists is, that the ills and crosses of life act upon them with greater severity than upon other men, just as the man of more sensitive nerves and more fully developed feelings is more sen sitive to pain than the mere boor. On these and various other grounds to which reference was made, the right honourable gentleman commended the institution to the support of the friends and lovers of art. A common interest should, he said, unite us all; each class was, a debtor to the other, and each should seize every suitable occasion for ac knowledgingthose bonds of mutual obligation by which we are united as . children of one common father, heirs of one common hope, and as working together for one great and common end. (Loud cheers.) A sum of about £750 was announced as collected in the course of the evening. The Bishop of London and Mrs. Tait are staying at Starkey's Royal Victoria Hotel, St. Leonaris-on-Sea. We are glad to learn that the health of the right rev, pre late has improved sinoe his arrival at this salubrious place * Viscount and Viscountess Palmerston entertained a select circle at dinner on Saturday evening at Cambridge house, Piccadilly. SALMON FISHING.—The Perth Courier says this week's fishing has been below an average for the season. The river has been high and very unfavourable for angling. Price of salmon in town 2s. 4d. per lb. LONDONDERRY ELECTION.—After a sharp siege, the seat vacated by the death of Sir R. Ferguson has been won by Mr. M'Cormick, the eminent railway contractor. He professes to be a moderate Conservative. The other candidates were Mr. Skipton, moderate Whig. and Mr. Greer, ultra Liberal, a Radical from the start. The Whig nowhere on the poll, and thenceforward it was a g allant . race between Al essrs. M'Cormick and Greer, the former winning by a majority of 19. The following were the gross numbers at the close :—M'Cormick, 326 ; Greer, 307 ; Skipton, 82. A TALE OF MYSTERY.—The following para graph appears in one 'of the last Cork papers :—" In the offing or approach to the man-of-war roads at Queenstown may be seen lying a rakish -looking clipper barque, which will be at once recognised as of Yankee build, of some 700 tons burden ; and for the last four months has this gallant ship ridden out the storms and gales that. beset her at the same anchorage. With her full complement of h an d s, an d seaworthy, there she still mysteriously swings, awaitin g th e word away.' But whither shall she speed ? many inquire. Some conjecture, but all are at fault. Mysterious• looking characters have been seen to visit her —some say of foreign mould ; some aver natives. But beyond the fact that this craft is called the Charles B. Truitt, of Philadelphia, and has on board a cargo consisting of 23,000 finely finished rifles, nought is known." DESPERATE SUICIDE BY A FEMALE.—On Satur day afternoon Mr. Wakley held an inquest at the Elephant and Castle, Camden Town on Martha Ann Crump, aged 36, a married woman, residing in Grenville-street, Somers Town. She resided with her mother, having been sepa rated from her husband four or five years. Since that period she had been very intemperate. On Wednesday morning, on her mother going into her bedroom, she found her daughter dead, weltering in blood, wit h a carvin g knife in one hand, and a whetstone, on w hich she had sharpened it, in the other. She had, i n cutting her throat,_, also cut oil part of her chin. Verdict—" Unsound mind. ' The Weekly Register reports that through ou t England the collection' for the Pope is proceeding with vigour. Bishop Grant, of Southwark, has already for warded two sums of .E5OO each. Liverpool is expect e d t o forward £7,000, of which sum £5OO has been contributed by Mr. Challoner. 211 E CIZA-11PIONSHIP. . - . SAYERS AND HEENAN.—Both mean are zoing 04 steadily with their training, but we regret to hear that Heenan has again been compelled to change his quarters, owing to hostile interference. There have been various unioUrs and statements in some Of the papers that be lies had a trial with Ike Baker, who defeated Skeyte, and that Baker had all the best of it; and, also, that he has been compelled to obtain medical advice. We have cousultea Mr. Falk-, land, who is acting as his event, on this subject, and Mr. Falkland ridicules the idea of the latter statement ; but, a . to the former, he says that, six weeks back, Baker did go to Salisbury, and put on the gloves with the Benicia Bt,y but, as to obtaining any advantage over him, he thinks, if Baker has made such a statement, it must have been in vented by him to deceive Lis own friends, or must have een dreamt by him when sent to dorse by Jack's left maw ley. That one or bath statements have obtained credence among certain persons usually well informed cn such sub jects is cert a i n , f rom ' th e f act t h at t h ose persons and., their friends have freely bette.l 2 to 1 on Sayers to the tune of several hundred pounds. It follows either that their means of obtaining information must be bettor than ours, or that there must be a dodge at work to throw lleplana back in the market, in order to enable his frienda to get on on better terms. Even supposing Baker did, as ho thinks, get the beat of it, it is scarcely probable that Heenan would have done all he knew. That Sayers by his performances is entitled to the position of favourite is undoubted, but that such odds as 2 to 1 should be laid we think is preposterous. We warn our readers that they should Lake every rumour they may see in other journals cum grand. Even the state ments that have been made as to the alteration of the day are pure inventions of the gentlemen of the press. No thing has yet been definitely fixed , as to the day ; and as to a conveyance, it was only on Friday that this was settled satisfactorily. We are glad to state that such arrangements have been made as will ensure the comfort and convenience of all intending spectators, who, however, will have to pay X 3 a head for theirfrezghtage. The extraordinary distance which the vigilance of the authorities has rendered neces sary involves a start long before daybreak, so that we would recommend all to take out their sleep in the few previous nights, so that they may keep fresh for the occasion. We have been requested to state that the fight between Lynch and Shaw cannot take place in the same ring —that there will be no free passages granted, except to ring• keepers, on any consideration whatever—and that unless all are em barked by the time named on the tickets, they will be in fallibly left behind.--Bell' s Life. HERTFORD, Saturday.—This afternoon Colonel Archibald Robertson, chief constable of the Hertfordshire police force, made application to the justices assembled in petty session at Hertford fora warrant to apprehend Thom i as Sayers, the " Champion of England," and John Heenan, the American pugilist, in order that they might be bound over to keep the peace. Colonel Robertson stated, as the ground of his application, that he had received information, upon which he could rely, that the fight announced between Sayers and Heenan was appointed to come off in the county of Hertford. If the assemblage upon the occasion werelikely to be an ordinary one the force at his command would be ample to prevent a breach of the peace, but he had reason to believe that not less than 8,000 persons would accompany the pugilists to the spot fixed upon for the encounter, and he therefore felt it was necessary to take the precaution of binding the parties over to keep the peace. - The Bench said the matter was one of great importance, as there was no knowing what mischief might be done by the irruption of 8,000 per;ons of the class likely to assemble at a prize-fight into a quiet agricultural county. The warrant was at once granted, and signed by three magistrates—Mr. T. Milts, M P., the chairman of the bench (who is also a magistrate for the liberty of St. Alban and the county of Middlesei), Liout. W. R. Baker, and Mr. G. Brassey, who is a magis trate for the county and liberty. It was understood that the warrant would be at once executed, and the parties re quired to find sureties to a heavy amount, as the magis trates are determined to prevent, if possible, the fight from coaling off in Hertfordshire.
