MONEY MARKET ♦ND 0 0 MMERCIAL INTELLIGENC?. CITY, Two o'CeocK. The reports received this morning from most of the manufacturing districts state that during the Past week less activity has been apparent. At Bir mingham the iron trade continues steady, but the coal trade of the district is dull. The jewellery and button trades continues very depressed. At Manchester the market has been flat, and there is no longer a tendency in prices towards improve ment. A. moderate demand is experienced for goods suitable to the home trade, and to some ex tent for the German and Mediterranean markets. The woollen trade at Leeds has bean exceedingly dull very few buyers having been in the town and the transactions reported are chiefly in the heavier k inds of cloths for the autumn. A few speculative dealings have been entered into in g oods suitable for the American trade in anticipation an of im proved demand from that quarter. The worsted trade at Bradford shows symptoms of improvement and some increase of business has been experienced. Merchants engaged in the export department have been making more inquiries for gads and have in a great measure sup- P l ied themselves from the accumulated stocks On hand, At Halifax the carpet trade is active, a nd piece goods have been sold to a fair extent. The lace and hosiery trade of Nottingham and Leicester have been very dull, and several manu facturers have been disposing of goods by tender. In the shipping trade, however, rather more acti- Vity has prevailed for both the German and Ame rican markets ; at Sheffield and Wolverhampton the operations in hardware have shown indications of a gradual removal, both home and conti nental orders having been given only to some ex tent, and the resumption of payment by Messrs. Naylor, Vickers and Co. has caused increased ani mation in the neighbourhood. In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday a better demand existed, and more buoyancy was apparent. The sales were 10,000 bales, 2,000 of Which were taken for export, and 2,000 on specu lation. The Railway Share Market continued quiet. The demand for money has been rather brisker during the last few days, but in most respects the market presents little alteration. Choice bills of short date are still negociated at 21 to 21 per cent., and the arrivals of specie tend to strengthen the impression that there will be a contiuuance of ease during the remainder of the year. Besides the Australian supplies, and those which were likely to come forward from Russia, remittances are now expected from the United States, the exchange baying risen to 1091 110. The Arabia, just arrived, has brought about 92,0001., and, according to the tenor of the advices, is likely to be immediately followed by fur , her con signments. Meanwhile, it is probable that mode rate shipments will take place to the Continent and the East, but if the imports continue as extensive as at present, a partial absortion for foreign pur poses will not create the slightest anxiety, nor exert any injurious influence upon the position of mone tary a ff a i rs. It has been decided that the affairs of Messrs. Calvert and Co. shall be carried on under the com mittee of inspection, six-sevenths of the creditors representieg the same amount of the aggreg ste claims having signed the necessary deed for that purpose. Increased buoyancy has been apparent in the English Stock Market to-day, and the transactions, though limited, indicate confidence in a higher range of prices. The triumph of the Ministry and the favourable specie movements, including the rise in the New York exchange, have produced a satisfactory feeling and arise in values. Consols fortransferhave been 97i to 981 ; for account, 98k ; and for July 984 They are now a fraction lower. The New 3 per Cents. are 961 ; the Reduced, 961 ; and the Advertised Exchequer Bills, 20s. to 245. preen. Bank Stock is 221 to 222, and Indian Debentures are 1001 1. Foreign securities are dull, but generally very firm. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been supported 100 a t 9 74 Russian 5 per Cents. are 112, and Dutch 18 4 per Cents. 99/. Transactions have also been 18 recorded in Grenada New Active. at 20k ;, in Peru- 18 vian 6i per Cents. at 878 ; do. Deferred , at 120 66 11 ; and in Buenos Ayres at 83. 100 There has been a moderate amount of business 00 transacted this morning in th e Railwa y Share 120 Market, but in most instances a slight decline may 20 be noticed in values.

ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S INN ROAD.—The number of patients relieved a' this hospital during the week ending May 22, 1858, was 2,142, of which 605 were new oases. TEE TRAGICAL OCCURRENCE AT PADDINGTON.—On Saturday evening Mr. Wakley, coroner fetr We-t Mid dlesex, proceeded with an inquiry at the Bank of Eng land, Praed-street, Paddington, touching the death cf Rebecca Handy, aged 16, who was shot by her brother, 'Philip Handy. Tne evidence was similar to that given before the magistrate at Hammersmith Police-court, and a verdict cf " Misadventure" was returned. Edward Capern, the rural postman and poet, whose volume of poems has recently charmed so many, is now in London, preparing for publication his second volume of poems, which is to be dedicated, by permission, to 1 Miss Burdett Coutts. An interesting visit has been paid by the poet and his family to this estimable lady, at her 1 ; town residence i & Stratton-street. Mr. Capern has also , bad an interview by appointment, with Lord Palmer ston, at Cambridge House, who received him in the kindest possible manner, expressit.g a hope that the 1, ',chime now about to appear before the world would 11 vie with the one which had given him so much pleasure in perusing. THE LATE DUEL IN PARIS.—M. [de Pine's vigorous constitution has happily enabled him to dispel the pro phecies of the eminent medical men who surround his bed side. Some hopes are now entertained of saving 1 , his life ; but even should his life be spared he will be incapacitated from accepting any more challenges, and the ..üb-lieutenants of the French army must seek elsewhere for some other victim. The conduct of M. Hybne is highly extolled by his comrades—:.n approval in whiob, however, civilians do not participate. Even should he be condemned by the Tribunals he m.y feel secure that his pardon vv..ukl follow his sentence, as Lieutenant de Mercy, a military murderer of the blackest dye, who enticed his comrade into his room and then cowardly slew him with premeditation. This miscreant'has been pardoned to-day by the Emperor, as Captain Doineau the murderer of the Arab chief• tqic.—Morning .4 *eraser. their c the en by the kind, jects I Listed, ill not party higher of his among eason de. —I vant, B. heroine, id career it never Satnr and the I to with is acting rmpatby.

(1° tu Day CORN EXCHANGE. The lcaling country markets hold on Saturday were fairly supplied with wheat, in which only a moderate busi ness was transacted, at about stationary prices. Fine barley was very firm ; but inferior_ parcels __were a slow inooiry. Other produce ruled about stationary. Throughout the continent, very little change has taken place in the value of produce. The American advices come heavy for both wheat and flour, very limited sup plies of English grin C 9.2110 fresh to hand last week. The imports were 9,923 quarters of wheat, 28,995 barley, 36,610 oats. 1,677 beans, 1,245 peas, 7,660 linseed, 4,950 rapeseed, 35 mustard seed, 77 sundry seeds, and 3,169 sacks of flour. The supplies of English wheat received fresh up to-day from Essex, Sent, &c, coastwise, were only moderate ; and the snivels by laid carriage were limited, hence the show of samples was small. Factors generally were firm in their demands ; but the inquiry for all kinds of home grown wheat was ftr from active, at prices about equal to those realised on Monday last. There was a large quantity of foreign wheat, fresh as well as ex granary, on the stands. Even the finest quali ties were a dull inquiry, but we have no change to notice in prices. Floating cargoes of grain sold at last week's prices. Scarcely any English barley was in the market ; but the supply of foreign was entensive. Good and useful qualities sold steadily—other kinds slowly, at about last week's currency. We had a dull inquiry for nearly all kinds of malt, and late rates were barely supported. The supply of oats was large. Good sound corn sold at full prices ; but inferior and damp parcels were rather lower. Both beans and peas were in short supply and steady request, at full prices. In the value of flour no change took place. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Although the arrivals .f beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were smaller than on Monday last, there was little or no improvement in the demand for any breed. In the quotations no change took place ; the top general figure being 4s 4d per 81bs, and the various breeds came to hand in fair saleable condition. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 2,550 Scots and shorthorns ; from other parts of England, oof various breeds ; from Scotland, 110 Scots ; and from Ireland, 29 oxen, Szo. We were but moderately supplied with sheep, the general quality of which was good. Prime Down qualities were in fair request, at full prices, viz., 4s 41 to 4s 6d per Sibs out of the wool ; otherwise, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state, at last week's currency. Lambs, the show of which was tolerably good, were in fair request. at from 5s 8d to 6s 8d per Sibs. From the Isle of Wight 400 head came to band. We had a steady but by no means active demand for calves ; the supply of which was moderate, at last week's quotations. There was very little business doing in pigs, at unaltered currencies.

(Before the L')rd Cbancellor,) IN RE THE LONDON AND EASTERN BXNICING CORPORATION. JUDGUENT. Two pinta of contentnyi were tai.ed in this case:— let, the validity of the fiat of bankruptcy of this corn• pant? ; and 2d, the legality of the proceedings at law by Sir Charles Forbes and Company, creditors of this com pany, in obtaining a judgment of the Court of Exchequer again , t the company on a bill of exchange after the fiat of bankruptcy had been issued and an official manager appointed. The Lord Chancellor, after minutely examining and considering the several clauses in the different Acts of Parliament relative to the proceedings in bankruptcy in banking corporations and companies, was of opinion that, al hough a creditor was entitled to take a judg ment of a court of law upon his debt, yet he was b , und to proceed under the bankruptcy when a fiat of bank ruptcy is granted and an official manager appointed. His lordshipaffirmed the fiat of bankruptcy, and granted an injunction restraining Sir Charles Forbes and Com. pany from proceeding in any other way to recover pay ment of their debt than under the resent bankruptcy. Costs to be paid out of the common fund. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls.) JENSIN V. CLINTON.—JUDGMENT. His Honour, the Master of the Rolls, said this was a demurrer to the plaintiff's bill for want of equity. The contention between the parties arose upon the construc tion to be put upon the will of the deceased Thomas Jenkins, who died in 179 E. And the question raised was, whether the testator, by his will, demised an estate in fee or in tail only in favour of his great•grand-nephew Thomas, William, and Joseph. His Honour, after minutely examining and considering the different clauses in the will, came to the cone union that the testate r demised an estate in tail only, and not in fee, and that the plaintiff was not entitled to the relief asked by his bill. The demurrer was allowed, without costs, and the bill dismissed. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco before Lord Campbell, Justices Cole ridge, Erie, and Wightman. THE EMMEN( LOCAL BOARD OF HEALTH._MANDAMUS • Mr. Lush, Q C., applied for a rule calling upon the Burster° Local Board of Health to show cause why a mandamus should not issue against them to compel them to grant compensation and appoint an arbitrator in the event of dispute for damage done to certain property in the town owing to their being sunk shafts for sewers to the injury of the property referred to. The injury was estimated at 1691. Rule granted. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Cbief Baron Po lock, Barons Martin, Bramwell, and Wat4on.) PRICE Y. PRICE—CANCELLING A WILL—,JUDGMENT. Tuis was an action of ej, , ctinent tried a second time before Mr. Justice Crowder, at Brecon, and the ques tion turned upon the cancelling of a will. It appeared that the deceased shortly before his death tore off the seals of his will, saying he would make a fresh one, but before he could do so he died, and it was contended that under the circumstances this wag not a cancelling or revokation of the will as against the parties who were to be benefitteo. Trio Court without entering int) the question of " cancelling," generally, held that; in this case, the tearing off of the seal was a revokation or cancelling of it. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. ;Sittings in Banco, before the Lord Chief Justice Cock burn, Justices Williams, Willis, and Byles.) IdETCALFE AND ANOTHER V. LONDON AND BRIGHTON RAILWAY COMPANY-LIABILITY. Mr. Lush, Q.C.. moved for a rule calling up the de fendants to show cause why the verdict in this case should not be entered for the plaintiffs for 301., on leave reserved. The action was tried at the late Guildhall sittings, before Mr. Justice Byles, when a verdict vas directed substantially for the defendant, on the ground of there being no evidence for the plaintiff on which to go to the jury. The action was brought to recover the value of certain jewellery alleged to have been fel mi onely abstracted from the defendant's servants, while the box in which it was packed was in transit from Worthing to the Qaeen's Heal, Borough, o i the 17th August last. The defendant pleaded the Carriers' Act, that the articles were not declared, to which there was a replication that the loss arose from the felonious acts of the defendant's servants. The Court, after hearing the evidence read, anti the learned counsel at full length, refused the rule. Rule refused accordingly. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburo.) IN BE LESLIE. The bankrupt was described of Abchurch lane, mer• chant, and traded in the firm of Cheape and Leslie, and to-day was appointed for his last examination. Mr. Lawranca applied, on behalf of the bankrupt, for a short adjournment, Messrs. Hart Brothers, who ware preparing the accounts, not having had time to com plete thm. His Honour asked whether they were of an intricate character ? Mr. Lawrance said they were, and he bad to ask for an adjournment for six weeks, and that the bankrupt should have an allowance. His Honour said the figures were heavy at present, NO 0001. on one side and only 7001. on the other. Mr. Turner did not object to an adjournment of the examination, but could not consent to an allowance at present, Mr. Lawrence said the question of allowance could stand over. An adjournment for six weeks took place. It was stated that the bankrupt had made advances to other parties to the extent of between 30,0001. and 40,0001. IN BE T. G. GABRIEL.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day MARLBOROUGH-STREET. BRUTAL ASSAULT ON A FEMALE.—Robert Fuller was charged with committing a violent assault on a widow named Taylor, under the following circum stances : Elizibeth Taylor said that she resided in Hanway yard, Soho, and that on Saturday evening the prisoner, who had been drinking, after abusing her daughter, with whom he lived, and making use of the grossest ex pressions towards her, struck her a violent blow, knock ing her into a chair, and rendering her insensible. She expostula - ..ed with him on his conduct, when be seized a chair with which he gave her (prosecutriz) a violent blow on the back. He then seized her arm, and pinched it till it was black and blue, bit her finger in a very violent manner, and gave her several severe blows ou the head. He then seized the fire shovel, with which he attempted to strike her, but a younger daughter pre vented him. He then caught hold of her by the throat and tried to choke her. A. daughter of the prosecutrix confirmed her mother's evidence. A. constable said, bearing cries of murder and police, he went to the prosecutrix's assistance. The prisoner had a shovel in his band. The younger female's face was covered with blood, Prisoner said be had been drinking and that the female had seized him by the hair of his head. She was always doing it. Once she had stabbed him, at another time bruised his head. Mr. Birgham said it wa s strange, if he was treated in the manner he stated, be did not run away— he should have thought any man would have done so. However, it was the mother who was now the injured party, and for the brutal assault he had com mitted on her, he should fine him 31., or two months, with hard labour. THAMES. DARING STREET ROBBERY— Michel Dacey and George Burns, each aged 21, and well .known thieves were brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with stealing a silver watch and appendages, from the person of Mr. James Webster the 'Date of the ship Beacons, lying in the City Canal, Black wall. George Webster, a seaman belonging to the brig Jesey, lying in the St. Katherine Dock, said he received a visit from his brother James, on Saturday afternoon, and they agreed to spend the evening together, and to pass the night and Sunday away from their ships. At nine o'clock at night they were in search of a lodging in Rat cliff Highway, when his brother turned down a narrow entry, and was soon surrounded by the prisoners and two others who hustled him and one of them snatched his watch from his pocket and ran away. He ran atter the thieves and cried out police. The four thieves ran some distance by the side of the London and the St. Katherine Dock walls. They all ran trgether u ntil a policeman darted out upon them when they patte. One man passed the watch tyt the ot her and they continued _ e. . • gang and a policemon captured the other. In answer to a einestion by Mr. Yaril.y, the witti , -.as said he viay quite certain that the prisoners are two cf the men who gatberec' rour , d hi, , brother. Jams Wellster said be could only recollect that his w:.. ch was stolen and the ring broken. Se.or.tl men got about him, and his watch was gone in an inwant• S veral wrier wittesses were examined who sa...v the kris: nere rir.ning, ar.(l one of them, Sophia II al , s, ob sersed the prisoner Dacey hand the watch to another man. The prisoners made a desperate resistance brfor• they were secured. Francis Kelly, 130 H, said the prisoners were netori one thieves, and had been repeatedly in custody. Mr. Yardley—What is the value of the watch ? The prosecutor replied teac be gave seven guineas fee it three years ago, in Dundee. The ptiForicrs pleaded guilty. Mr. Yardley—There is no d'eibt of ynsr guilt, and I will not inquire into your foro , er career. I convict you both of larceny, and sentence you to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for six calendar months. THE TRIAL OF THE MARQUIS CAMPANA ROME, May 18.—The trial of tin Marquis C pans, one of the most , extraordinary cases which has been subjected to judicial cognisance of hie years in Rome, f ir eintiezzlement of monies apper taining to the Sacro Monte di Pieta, or govern ment loan office, of which he was &lector, to the tune of nearly a million of scuds (200,0000, has been definitively ieferrei to the criminal tribunal presided over by Monsignor Sagretti. The marquis had appealed against the competency of this tribunal, upr:n the ground that the Sacro Monte di Pieta was an establishment ex clusively dependent upon the ecclesiastical branch of the Government, or, in Roman phraseolgy, the roost reverend Apostolic Chamber, which possesses a tribunal expressly set apart to.take cognisance of all cases connected with its own peculiar branches of the administration. On Friday last the marquis's objection to the competency of the criminal tribilnal was presented, strangely enough, to the criminal tribunal itself to decide upon. The result. was, as might have been expected, t hat tie criminal tribunal declared itself perfectly competent, and as the case has been pushed on wii h urgency, and the intentions of the government are pretty well known, great astonishmi - nt has been felt that the Marquis Cam palm, of European reputation as a profound archm logist and liberal Meccenas of the arts, should have brought himself into so disgraceful a position. The only point to be objected to in this mode of proceed ing of the Govetnment, admitting the full gravity of the offence, is the hindrance thrown in the Mar quis's way with respect to a public trial and an un shackled defence. Our British ideas of justice are very much shocked at the prisoner's advocate b-ing required to submit his speech for tie defence to the previous censorship of the president of the very criminal tribunal which is to give sew enee. The Marquis Carnpana feels persuaded that if he could at the present moment negotiate the sale his museum, and so liquidate his liabilities towards the Monte di Pieta, all would be forgiven, and he would go forth scot free; but a transaction of that importance c innot bet. included so rapidly. Never theless a friend of his has under , aken to write to the British Government u.ain the subject, in the hope of her Majesty's Ministers making an offer in THE MURDER IN LA.YSVAU,STR3ET. On Saturday forenoon, at 11 o'clock, an investi gation took place at the Royal Free Hospital, Gray's-inn-road, before Mr. Wakley, coroner, on view of the body of Tho , . Chas. flanw , ll, 26, a plasterer, who was killed in a fracas, on Wednes day last, in Laystall-street, Liquorpond-street. Since the shocking affa - r, two men, of the name of Cronin and Spray, have be -n apprehend: d, and examined at Cl , -rkenwell Police-court, and re manded to await the result of the present preceed- togs. After the jury were sworn they viewed the body, which exhibited no marks of external violence. The following evidence was brought forward : Mary Jane Hanwell, the deceased's sister, merely spoke to his having been married last Christmas, and his being a steady, hard-working man. • Thome.. Jesson, greengr cer, of Laystall-street, said he saw the fracas. The deceased and Cronin struggled together, asd, with three others, fell. The deceased was the last that got up. When he did, he staggered and fell against a wall, after which he did not s'ir, and appeared quite dead. By the Coroner—l did not see Cronin strike the deceased. I saw them scuffle together, and the dt.- ceased fell, as I have described. John Smith, in the eiriploy of Reid's Brewery, Liquorparid-street, said about 8 o'clock on Wed nesday evening I observed several men struggling together. The deceased was left upon the ground when the whole of the others got upon their feet. He (deceased) got up afterwards, but fell against a wall to the ground, after ,which he never moved. He was br( ught to this hospital. By the jury—l did not s-_!e the deceased struck by either of the men now in custody. The Coroner said that the Coroners' Courts were a farce. Two men were in custody charged with manslaughter, when there was not one atom of evidence even to prove a common a-sault. Both these men ought to have been present. He (the coroner) had no dount, were he to make an appli lication, that Mr. Walpole, the Home Secretary, would order the men to be produced. Mr. Davis, the house-surgeon, said the deceased died from extravasation of blood upon the brain, the result of a fall or blow. Verdict in accordance with such evidence, but how the violence occurred there was no evidence o the jury. . Falstaff. Pert X. By George Cruiksbank. Longman and Company. The glorious Fat Knight's biography is now com pleted, the veracious and redoute a.tile Life at d Ad ventures of Sir John Falstaff—illustrated resplen dently by the elcitirg nstelle if Get rge Cruikshank. The work makes a goo Fry tome of nearly 200 octavo pages, embellished with " twenty" admirable and beeut ful engraviugA. Altogether the book is the result of one of the Lappiesethoughts yc t hit uPon by our immortal George—and what happy thoughts he has had Lefore now don't we all re member ? From his sketch of the drummer whose hair was tied 'so tight that he could'et shut his eyes—to that of the little dog whose tail was curled , upwards so stiffly that it lifted him off his hind - legs ! From those excruciating glimpies he has given us of the agonies of the Toothache, to the ever memorable drolleries illustrative of two de- , lightful ballads—the ballad of Jahn Gilpin and the ballad of Lord Bateman. It was riot very long . ago that in the course of a charming paper in the Quarterly, Mr. Thackeray reminded us of how vividly Cruikshank's pencil takes us back in a twinkling to the diets of the short-waisted, ladies and of the high-collared and swallow-railed ggini --when those onaHs himself e s idf c a a wy r as sa e_e , r yaet t ttn a ie pictorial t r c bn i roiyoa boyhood. otohd. During this humorist teri ren a h e centuryg this bing artistic career of his, h ow l arge e y w .11 of us indebted to hint for innocent and joyous laughter. Throughout this long lapse of half-a century, how fruitful his mind Las been of the ludicrous. His political caricatures alone form e grand connecting link between the days of Gillray and those of H. B. His wonderfully facile pencil, while embellishing current literature abundantly, has adorned the rep rints of man y of our classi c . masterpieces. While, for example, he has be au • illustrating the magazine fun of comic essayists like M. A. Titmarsh and Leman Blanchard,- of minor novelists like Angus Reach and Frank Fairlegh, of groteseue miscellanies like his own Omnibus, and later still, his own short-lived but promising magazine—he has been giving visible form to the vivid imaginings of Boz is Oliver Twist, and to the wierd and fantastic dreaming; of Ainsworth in his torical romances like Windsor Castle and the Tower of London—at the same time that he has t ruched into life, with that magic etching needle of his the ever delectable masterpieces of our great elder humcurists, Henry Fielding, and Tobias Smellett. Wonderful to tell among all the mani fold reprints of late years no publisher has dreamt of advert uring upon a reprint of the great and im-. mortal novels of Richardson—novels in their time the rage of the reading public—and novels we are very certain that would be bought eagerly nowa days, if only froin"Yery curiosity and for the pure pose of placing them upon private boakt.helves— supposing them to be republished in a cheap and popular form, and supposing them to be il:us rated by the pencil of an - artist-hus reourist like George Cr uiesbank. How dearly we should like to see his Sir CearlesGrandison 1 With what a zest would he give us the perfeot present ment of Miss Clarissa Her lowe ! Fancy his limn ing of the old beau, Soames—of the handsome rattle Lovelace ! Imagine his etching of the scenes in the silk-mercers, or of the grim family conclaves —of the bawd's deathbed —or, last scene of all in that eventful tragedy, the scene where Lovelace rages against himself like one distracted Is it idle, we wonder, ever to hspe for such a cheap, modern, popular illustrated edition of the works of ,ardson? We put it to the most speculative of our publishers. Perhaps, if the great houses of old might net entertain the notion—Longman and Murray, for example—it might ba taken in hand by such ire ortant firms as Messrs. Chapman and Hall, or Messrs. Smith and Elder, or by. daring alt lesale exporters like the Messrs. Rouiledge. It would be abenefaction to the reading public, and if judiciously arranged, we warrant it, the project would amply repay the adventurous speculation. All this of course arising out of one's recollection of what in a like way has already teen accomplished by the ingenious fancy and tke skilful hand of G orge Cluikshank. Falstaff, we repeat, is among the happiest of his producti ns. The letterpress, we grieve to note , has teen penned almost ueintertuptedly through severe bodily suffering by Robat Brougb, a comic writer who has elsewhere often delighted us by his whimsical fur,, prose and poetical, dramatic and didactic. Cordially let us hope at least that the close of the present work may have been contempo raneous with the termination of the autluat'a bodily ailm, nts. As for the artist's share in the work, it is past praise—it is admirable. Falstaff everywhere in tt ese trully beautiful engravings is the true Fal staff of Shakspere. Not the least strikingly in tLe two last etchings here bringing the score to its conclusion—one the discovery by Sir John of his having been tricked at Herne 's Oak ; the other his famous deathbed scene, where he is fumbling with the sheets and smiling upon his fingers' ends, lying there with a noe as sharp as a pen, a-babbling o' green fields. Tll.B POLICE OF PARIS. We glean a few extracts from an able article on this important subject by M. Max Berthaud, which has just app -ared in the Revue Coriteinporaine. We may pi emise that the author admits the princi- . ple followed in the departments, viz., that the muni.ipal police should exclusively belong to the Prefect of the Seine and the 12 mayors of Paris, the political police alone remaining in the hands of the Prefect of Police. This is, in fact, the great point of contention between the two authorities ; the Prefect of the Seine not only claiming the pre cedence, refused by his rival, but also the petite voire, or lighting, sweeping, and watering of the streets, and the clearing of the sewers, all of which the Prefect of Police claims as absolutely necessary to his authority. Hiifunctions, - as detaded by M. Berthaud are, indeed immense. "He can republish all the laws and regulations ; he has authority over all that concerns the petite mire, though his deci sions may be appealed from to the Minister of the Interior ; he has under his orders a commissary whose duty it is to watch, peruni, or follid the ce cuing of shops, the establishment of permanent awnii gs projecting over the footpaths, and to superintend the conduct of itinerant venders. He can order the demolition of houses threateuing ruin ; superintends all the regulations concerning the rain-wa . er conduits and pipes, the circulation of hackney coache., and the health of the city, particularly during the prevalence of epidemics; he can forbid. the establishment of insalu brious manufactories in the city, also of hospi tals and maisons de sante ; he can seize all diseased meat or other provisions ; he takes all the mea sures requisite for extinguishing fires or preventing them from spreading, and can in such cages press all carpenters, slaters, and other workmen into his service. Lastly, it is he who causes assistance to who be wh og have iven h t e o en t , b r e f sewurcr fromcled, a a w n a d ter t y o de t a h t o b s . e " Berthaud here mentions what has been considered a just complaint against the manlier in which the police, since 1850, rids the city of its night-soil, by turning it off iu'o the Sine, instead of having it carried away in night-carts. To this the author replies that a method having been discovered in 1850 for disinfecting night-soil, M. Cruller, the then Prefect of Police, calved the methol to be investigated by the Council of Public Heath, which found it to answer perfectly. It was then, and then only, that M. Carlier, caused it to be put into practice, thus diminishing by two-thirds the number of the offensive night-carts which infeA the streets at a late hour. Whether it be politic to trans form the Seine into a large sewer by turning even the disinfected matter into it, is another question which, M. Berthaud says, has been taken into consideration by the administration. The Icon struct ion of a large tunnel , r unnin g parallel with the Seine, has alre.rdy been -commenced on both sid.-s of the river ; this sewer, when finished, will carry the night-soil to a point below Paris, and thus hus le ave the river within t he city pure.

There are in the streets 13,000 gas-burners, which are lighted in the course of about. 20 minutes. The length of the gas pipes is 485,000 metres ; that of the water conduits 330,000 meters ; and that of the sewers 163,000. The city contains between 32,000 and 33,000 lieus. , s, ef which 6,863 are lodg ing-houses—that is, inhabited by a population re quiring a sp , cial surveillance.
