MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The accounts from the manufacturing districts report that during the past week business in most departments exhibited little improvement. At Leeds, however, the woollen trade has been in a satisfactory state ; buyers have not operated very freely, but light fabrics have been in fair demand. At Bradford the inquiry for piece goods had been extremely limited, end in some instances orders previously given out have been countermanded. Wools are purchased only for immediate consump tion, and some of the mills are running " short time." Business at Manchester has slightly recovered, particularlyfor India goods. On continental account, however, as well as for the Levant, the demand has been almost suspended. There has been very limited transactions in the hosiery trade at Leicester. Yarns were dull of sale, and prices had a downward tendency. At Birmingham business has been ex tremely inactive, the demand for the home trade having been very limited, and the export orders for Italy and the Mediterranean are stopped. The iron trade of South Staffordshire continues inactive, but no change can be reported in prices. At Shef field and Wolverhampton there has been a fair demand for hardware goods for the United States, and the home trade continues moderately active. In the Liverpool Cotton Market, on Saturday, a moderate business was transacted, and prices exhibited a slightly upward tendency. The sales *were estimated at from 7,000 to 8,000 bales. The Railway Share Market closed with more anima tion, and most of the leading lines advanced. An active demand for discount accommodation is still experienced, and but there is less pressure, the mercantile public find no difficulty in obtaining the assistance they require. Full rates, however, are charged even for the best descriptions of com mercial paper, as the general prospects of the market have rendered bankers and billbrokers exceedingly cautious. The Great Britain has been announced this morn ing from Port Philip, with 32,000 ounces, or £128,000; and the Armenian, from the Coast of Africa, has also arrived, but the amount of specie she brings is not yet known. The steamer Tyne, which leaves to-day for the Brazils, takes out £9,791, principally in silver. There was a meeting of the Central Oude Rail way Company to-day, at which a resolution for amalgamating the concern with the Oude Railway Company was brought forward, by increasing the deposit to ss. per share (the same as the Oude Railway), and on certain terms, which were ex plained to the meeting. The resolution was, after discussion, adopted unanimously. A very limited amount of business has been transacted to-day in the market for English Secu rities, but the quotations, although showing fre quent changes from to per cent., must be considered satisfactory. Speculative dealings are conducted on a most limited scale, but steadypurchases for investment are effected, which s upport the market. No one seems disposed to embark in large transactions during the present unsettled appearance of political affairs, and a con siderable period has elapsed since so much caution Was exhibited in this department of business. Consols have been 902 91, and they are now de cidedly buoyant at 91 to 912.

The Railway Share Market has been moderately active, and prices generally show an upward ten dency, the advance in most instances being about 1 to 2 per cent. Eastern Counties, North British, North Eastern (Berwick), North Eastern (York), have advanced £l, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and Sol lth Eastern, 10s. to 155., Caledonian, Great Western, and Midland £2, and North Western £2 to £2 Ss. In the Foreign and Colonial Mokets there has been a corresponding buoyancy.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were fairly supplied with wheat. For all kinds, the demand ruled heavy, and prices had a drooping tendency. Barley, oats, beans, peas, and flour ruled very inactive, and the quotations were in favour of buyers. Threuxhout the Continent, the grain trade has been very excited of late—prices have advanced considerably— and large purchases of grain have been effected on English account. Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of home-grown produce were only moderate. The imports from abroad amounted to 18,905 quarters of wheat, 1,950 barley, 22,995 oats, 60 beans, 30 peas, 458 linseed, 5,490 rapeseed, 740 sundry seeds, 645 sacks and 1,385 barrels of flour. The supply of wheat received fresh up, to-day, from Kent, was moderately extensive—from Essex, by no means large. The receipts by land carriage were only mo derate. The attendance of both town and country millers was far from numerous, and the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce was heavy in the extreme; indeed, so little business was transacted that it is difficult to quote prices accurately. However, the quotations may be called 5s to 8s per quarter nominally lower than on Monday last. There was a full average quantity of foreign wheat on offer. All descriptions were very dull, and prices gave way fully 3s per qr. The fall, however, may be considered a nominal one. . . The demand for floating cargoes off Falmouth has be come much.less active. There was a steady demand for barley, owing to foreign parcels being in request on account of the French Govern ment, at full quotations. Fine malt was the turn dearer, and other kinds were firm in price. . . Good sound oats supported former terms; but inferior kinds were quite is per quarter cheaper. The few beans in the market were disposed of at full quotations. Peas moved off slowly ; nevertheless, prices were sup ported. . The flour trade• was in a depressed state, and country marks were is to •2s per sack cheaper. - Town-made was nominal in price.. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

From our own. grazing districts, about an average time of-year supply of beasts came to hand. .in fair condition. Notwithstandingthat the attendance of buyers was tolerably numerous,. the demand for nearly all breeds of beasts ruled heavy, at. a decline in the currencies realised on Monday last of 2d. per Ms. The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire, amounted to 2.100 Scots, short-horns and crosses ; from other parts of England, 356 of various breeds ; from -Scotland, .340 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland sNi‘v'eellgyhtsilapnpdl.iedwith nearly all breeds condition of which 110 oxen, &c. ..

SPORTING N OTES. CHESTER AND NEWMARKET. The incidents of the Chester Meeting will long be remembered by the racing public. Indeed it is difficult to indicate throughout the historic records of the turf a more remarkable meeting. The un paralleled circumstance of a second victory for Leamington and the unhappy affair in the Dee Stakes were occurrences so extraordinary in their nature, that they will form the themes in turf coteries for many many years to come. The sport was not of the brilliant order one is wont to asso ciate with Chester, but the " class" of the competi tors was beyond the average of superiority. Leamington's success undeniably stamps him as one of the best animals of the present century, and I rejoice that he is in the possession of so consistent and honourable a sportsman as Mr. Frank Higgins. Certainly " luck's all" on the turf ; imagine a breeder having the good fortune to breed Fisherman and Leamington in one season, as was actually the case with this pair of turf celebrities. They were bred by Mr. Halford in 1853, an incident well worthy of record among the curiosities of turf literature. The great winners by Leamington's success are Mr. Frank Higgins and Mr. F. Swin dells, a "gallant captain," and Sir Joseph Hawley; the latter doubtless, by Wells' instrumentality, threw in for large stakes. The disastrous accident in the Dee Stakes has created a most painful sensa tion, which has scarcely abated even when the gratifying intelligence of Wells' improved condition has become known. Mr. Merry has sustained a severe loss by the death of Rainbow, who was trusted with over a thousand pounds by his owner for the Derby. Wells is much improved, and on Friday morning was sufficiently conscious to intimate to one of his oldest friends, with whom he resides at Epsom dnring the Derby week, " not 'to forget to save him a bed." He has left the Infirmary. Although the programme of the First Spring looks uncommonly barren, yet the meeting will be productive of some features which will materially influence future events. The " lion" of the gather ing will of course be The Promised Land, and the rush to get a peep at him will be tremendous. His extraordinary position in the betting will frighten many animals out of the field, but in any case the following may be expected to congregate at the starting post : Promised Land Nimrod Phantom Crafton Napoleon Cynricus Sir Hercules Lord of the Manor R alpho Guy Fawkes, St. Clarence, and something of Mr. Gratwicke's, are also not unlikely to put in an ap pearance. The Woodyeates hero has such irre• fragable pretensions, and the support which he receives indicates so clearly that he is as formidable as ever, that it seems impossible he can be beaten. Crafton carries the hopes of Newmarket, and his stable are, I learn, sanguine of their horse being among the first three. He may reward an invest ment for " a place." Whitewall has furnished a prominent favourite in Phantom, but taking the line through, Indiffe rence on ie York running, the last-mentioned must have grown considerably worse or the former extraordinarily better for the Wizard's Phantom to possess the ghost of a chance. Napoleon, a good-looking son of Voltiguer, has run but once, at York, when he was " chopped" down by the Birthday filly. That running, I have reasons for believing, was not " quite correct," and Napoleon may mot unlikely accomplish a coup d'etat for the ring. Cynricus will have the advantage of Sam Rogers's jockeyship, but he was always so inferior to Merry man that I have no faith in his pretensions. Lord of the Manor is highly bred and highly trained, but his temper renders him untrustworthy. I have now alluded briefly to the Guineas com petitors, and I see nothing whatever to interfere with the easy success of THE PROMISED LAND. My next communication will be from New market, when I will enter into the discussion of the remaining events of the meeting. A FRESHMAN. LITERATURE. Woodleigh, by the author of " Wildflower," ," One and Twenty," & c . 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. This work fully sustains the author's previous re putation. There are many exciting scenes met with, and the description of some passages is ad mirably given. The hero meets with some singular adventures in the chances and changes of life, and the great difference that existed in, the families of the two brothers, in consequence of one dyi ng pre maturely, is the cause of great confusion and mis understanding. The introduction of a peculiar character like Stephen Markingham is an advan tage to a story. It imparts to it a life and anima tion apart from every-day scenes and common place occurrences. It was a fortunate day for Robert Woodleigh when he met with that strange individual, who was at once attracted towards one who was so early thrown an outcast on the wilder ness of the world. The events that followed the intro duction of Robert to his uncle's family are related in a natural manner, and are such as seem likely to occur when persons of such diverse tastes and habits suddenly meet on an intimate footing. There is great skill displayed in the account of James Woodleigh's household. Each member seems to be apart from the others. Richard, the eldest, was an idle extravagant youth, forming a strong con trast to Upton, the second son, who resembled his father in his plodding conduct, and zeal and apti tude for business. The sisters are also unlike. Constance is by far the most pleasing, although inferior in abilities to Caroline. The Heberdeens are a striking group ; there is more vigour in their natures than in those of their friends, and there is a mournful interest attached to the account of their reverse of fortune, their estates being taken from them in a law suit. The successful claimant was Stephen Markingham, and nothing could surpass his kindness and generoSity towards them. The pride and stubborness which marred the many fine qualities possessed by father and son however militated against the good endea vours of their foeman, and it was not until in a foreign land Markingham rendered signal service to the old squire on the occasion of his meeting with a serious accident that any reconciliation was effected. In that solemn hour, when human pre judices are seen in their nothingness, and human passions are revealed in their unworthiness, it was probable that a noble nature like that of Heberdeen should turn from strife to peace, and recommen d his children to the care of his relation. Marking ham nobly redeemed his promise, and find ing that young Heberdeen was engaging in new endeavours to repossess himself of the estates, which would plunge him into endless expense with out gaining his point • he magnanimously relin quished the fruits of his hard-earned victory, and divided the estates between himself and his friend's children. It is true that such conduct is not often witnessed, but it was strictly in accordance with the character of the man here pourtrayed. There is an effective sketch of a Methodist preacher, who was the cause of much misery to Robert Woodleigh in his childhood. To his great horror he married his mother, and a change came over the tenor of Robert's life from that day. Finally, after many stormy scenes the boy ran away from his miserable home, and on his way to London encountered Stephen Markingham. He presented himself to his uncle, who found him employment in his ware house, which he kept to for a short time ; but in consequence of a quarrel with young Heberdeen, between whom and Robert had always ex isted a feud, a separation took place. It ; was not until Mr. Markingham's kindness made him independent that Robert became reconciled to his relations. Richard Woodleigh's career was a very sad one, and he continued, as persons of his habits often do, to make many otherS miserable who were in no way connected with him or any of his schemes. Amelia Bowden is a strange disposition ; she was Mr. Bowden's daughter by his first marriage, and, like her step-brother, could not agree with the irascible and captious preacher. She left: him long before his union with Mrs. Woodleigh, and supported herself as a governess. She was in his uncle's family when Robert met her. Though not pleasing, she is an attractive study, from her concentration of thought, and decided manner. It is satisfactory to find that at the death of Mrs. Bowden, the father and daughter ad justed their differences, and continued to live together. There are exciting passages at the con clusion of the story, in which many important changes take place in the fortunes of the dramatis personce whom we have followed for some years in their stormy pilgrimage. Taken altogether, this appears a successful work of its style, and it will most likely meet with the same approval that has attended its predecessors. There is great variety introduced with the different families, and the varying events, which may furnish the reader with ample opportunity for amusement and reflection. The Miser lord. By Captain Curling, author of " The Soldier of Fortune," " Frank Beresford," &c. Skeet. This is a singular tale, which possesses features of interest for those who like the mysterious. Miser Lord himself is a very good representation of his class; and the deplorable state to which a man may reduce himself by the extremity of meanness and miserliness is very ably depicted. To suit the purposes of some designing lawyers he was nomi• nally put in possession of some estates, and in one of his supposed mansions he led a wretched life. He shut himself up by day, and at night wandered forth in quest of food. He seized the rabbits and hares in the covers, and devoured his own turnips, thinking they were stolen, One of the most pleas ing characters in the story is Ellen Moore, the daughter of the false lord. She had not experienced the advantages of a good education, but notwith standing all drawbacks, there is something agree , able in her disposition, and a fearlessness in ex pressing her opinions, that is frank without being forward. Adela Vere is an attractive young lady, but very different from her friend. The hero, Damain, meets with many remarkable vicissitudes, and his career is a very painful one, but he is left in much improved circumstances. After his mar riage with Adela Vere his regiment was ordered abroad, but she opposed his intention of retiring, believing he would be happier if he remained in an active career ; and they are left on their voyage abroad. There are some lively scenes in the story, and the description of Pounce is excellent. Rose-Coloured Spectacles. A Novel,in one volume. By Mary and Elizabeth Kirby. James Black- wood. This is an amusing little tale, which without being anything remakable, presents some lively sketches of domestic life. The character of the de ceiving Charles Cumberland is very well drawn, and displays a considerable knowledge of human nature. T i The heroine is also pourtrayed in a superior manner, and her unwise custom of always regarding events and persons through an exag gerated medium, occasioned her a great deal of sor row and disappointment. All these facts are represented to the reader in an impressive manner, and may afford a useful lesson to the youthful and inexperienced, while there is sufficient interest in its narrative to afford amusement to those who merely desire to while away an hour. The Sacred Minstrel, with Sketches of the Authors. By the Rev. C. Rogers, LL.D. Houlston and Wright. The editor of this little work, fully appreciating the merits of sacred poetry, was desirous of making a collection of the best we p ossess, f or the °encou ragement of the weary and consolation of the sorrowful. He remarks, in his preface, with truth that few of our most eminent poets have been distinguished in this branch of their art • but he has succeeded in maki ng a very admirable 'and attrac tive collection, i n w hi c h the spirit of devotion and true poetical beauty are happily blended. Some poems have been admitted which, however sincere in their intention, are sadly deficient in poetical ability, and there are a good many others which are merely indifferent in their quality; but there are, scattered through the volume, so many poems combining both the requisite qualifications, that those who seek poetical beauty, and those who desire an earnest expression of devotional feeling, will be equally gratified. The great number and variety of the authors included testify the collec tor's unbiassed taste and judicious selection. Among them are the names of Byron, Beattie, Moore, Montgomery, Scott, Keble, Longfellow, Cowper, Milman, Burns, Heber, Mrs. Hemans, Eliza Cook, reflects Amelia greatO pi e ' and many others. The collection credit upon its compiler, and we have no doubt will prove a valuable acquisition to many --- classes of readers. PEOPLE'S EDITIONS. Byron's Poetical Works. Part 11. Murray.

Readers of limited means have in these days a great advantage over those of other generations. Up to a very recent period, although cheap litera ture of a good and wholesome class was circulated among the million, the standard works of our lan guage were inaccessible to all but the fortunate possessors of wealth or competence.

Longman are now issuing, is uniform with the people's edition of Macaulay's History, which they published some time back. It includes his contributions to the Edinburgh Review. The same indefatigable publishers arc also offering to the public a new and cheap edition of the poetical works of Thomas Moore in a similar form. It will be completed in ten monthly parts, the first of which contains Lalla Rookh. The people's edition of the Irish melodies, with the symphonies and accompaniments, is progressing satisfactorily. Twelve or thirteen melodies are given in each part. The type and paper are excellent, and the size most convenient. We trust these various publications will obtain the success they merit, as their circulation cannot do otherwise than raise and refine the popular taste. TATTERSALLS'- SATURDAY.

THE LATE RIBAND OUTRAGE.-011 r latest ac counts from the county of Westmeath represent Jessop, the recen t victim of tenant-right legisl a ti on, as being still al ive, although his medical attendants can hardly venture to hold out a hope of his ultimate recovery. As yet it has not been deemed safe to submit the wounded man to the risk of a formal magisterial examination. It is feared that the ex citement which would be produced by such a proceeding might prove fatal in his present debilitated state. Mean while, however, the authorities have not been idle, and a young man has been arrested on suspicion of being the perpetrator of the mu r d erous act. It is said that circum stances which have come to the knowledge of the magi strates are of a nature to criminate the prisoner. But, for the present, the stri c t est reserve is, for prudential reasons, maintained. Every day's investigation tends to demok strate that Jessop's murder was looked forward to by his neighbours as a settled affair. The attack on his life and his present sufferings are spoken of with the most frigid uncon cern, as if the slaughter of a fellow-creature were a matter of the slightest possible importance ; and we understand that the conduct of the two farmers, who left the wounded man to welter in his blood by the roadside, will prove to have been even more callous and inhuman than we have , already described it: Jessop is a married man, with four children, and his wife is in daily expectation of her confine • meat.

MEETING IN ill DE-PARK.—Yesterday afternoon a o very ufiSl‘t l'fahrt n ae lmb William u l n s p C n e d well-conducted meeting was held in a proposing an address to the Ep w sYlir i l E a r s e tehi sp ofs ec in t g to the war in Italy ; Dr. with the Emperor in the coThe chairman, in opening the ; y e hasrb d psb e ee - ri p hon a re r t l i 4 h , ea for poc thlaea t k h oi ern e n: pro ceedings, said he was one of the oldest Radicals in the kingdom. After informing the meeting why it was called together, Dr. Webb read an address to the Emperor, con gratulating him on the course he had taken to free the Italians from the tyranny of Austria. In conclusion, he said we had a right, as a Protestant people, to do as Queen Elizabeth did to aid the Protestants of Italy. The Queen could not interfere ; she was hampered by her foreign rela tions, and bound hand and foot. Mr. Mantel then made a speech, in the course of which he said he did not believe in the Emperor of the French. He was a great rascal, (Cheers.) The Emperor of Austria might be driven out of Sardinia, but the Emperor Napoleon was a political burglar in respect to peace and commerce. He was the centre of an infamous picture, red with colours of blood. He brought about the war with Russia, so that he might make himself respectable by an alliance with England. Mr. Mantel th en moved an amendment, condemning the address of Dr. Web b to the Emperor. He said if the address were carzlel. would be in the Paris papers of Tuesday that the peßuit_TT amend peror.
