CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The accounts from the various manufacturing districts, although of a satisfactory character in many respects, state that business in most branches of trade has fallen off in Consequence of the near approach of the close of the year, when dealers gene rally refrain from adding to their stocks. At Leeds the woollen trade was moderately active for the season, and for articles suitable for the ensuing, Spring there was a fair inquiry, most of the manu facturers being busily employed in the preparation of novelties. The worsted trade at Bradford has been steady, and at firm rates, while for piece goods there was a steady demand at full rates. At Manchester there has been only a limited amount of business transacted for home ase, but for exportation, both to the Levant, the United States, and several of the German markets, there has been a decided improve ment. The stocks of most kinds of cloth in the hands of manufacturers are now very light, and fall rates are current. Yarns continue at previous values. The worsted hosiery trade at Leicester continues remarkably brisk both for home con sumption and for export, and there is every proba bility of an active demand for some time to come. At Birmingham the various trades of the town and neighbourhood have been rather dull, but this is usually the case at this season of the year, when stocks are kept as low as possible. The iron trade Of South Staffordshire is very quiet. The cutlery and hardware trades of Sheffield, Walsall, and Wolverhampton, have been moderately active. The foreign demand, however, has been dull. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday pre sented a very dull and heavy appearance, but 6,000 bales were sold at about previous rates. In Rail way Shares a fair amount of business was trans- acted, and prices slightly improved. There is still a moderate demand for discount accommodation. The payments of the 4th of this month having been completed, the market is likely to become quieter ; but during the next few weeks the preparations for completing annual accounts will promote the general inquiry, although no indications of pressure are anticipated. With such an immense supply of capital as that now seeking em ployment, a considerable absorption for commercial Puposes, and for joint-stock enterprise, might ensue Without causing any recurrence of stringency. At the same time, however, the low rates lately cur rent could not be expected to remain long in opera tion. They resulted from an unusual plethora, t hrough the, stagnation of trade. As soon as business assumes its wonted activity, and draws into profitable use the accumulated deposit of bankers, the charge for discount will, no doubt, advance to what may be estimated as the average quotation for monetary facilities. Many persons are_ inclined to believe that trade will 'become very animated next year, natu rally expecting an important impulse to commerce from the opening of the Chinese ports and the tr eaty with Japan. If the opinions thus formed are 'verified, the existing abundance of capital will 10 . e diminished in proportion, but unless speculation x! stimulated, and specie is remitted in large quan tities to the Continent, there need . be no apprehen sion of such a movement in the rates of discount as will inconvenience the mercantile public, or obstruct the gradual revival of commercial prosperity. Beyond th e arrangemen t s connec t e d w ith the luenthly liquidation no transactions of importance have been recorded in the English Stock Market t?-day. The Government broker, however, con tinues to invest for the Savings' Banks to the ' 2 Xtent of £lO,OOO Reduced Annuities per diem, but these operations are without any material in fluence upon values. The settlement will be completed t o-morrow, and the transfer books close on Wed esday, which will have the effect of imparting increased quietude to this department of business. s peculation continues very quiet, although there !eeins to be a disposition to operate for an . advance 111 the Ja nuar y accoun t. Th e o pi n i on s of the specu lators, however, can scarcely be ascertained until t he arrangements now in progress are fully con cluded. Consols have been 97Z- 98, for money, and 9 81. a for January account; they are now 98 to 9 8 1 and 981 1 respectively. The New Threes a nd Reduced Annuities are 961 1; India Loan -uebent ures have been dealt in at 991; the Marche Exchequer Bills, 355. to 375. prem. ; June ditto, 33 5. to 35 5 . prem. ; and the Bonds, 1001. Long Annuities are marked 18 3-16 1. A limited amount of business has been reported in the Foreign. Stock Market, but the quotations rather tend upwards. Venezuela Bonds are steady, a t about 421 431; Buenos Ayres Deferred are mark e d 181 ; an d B raz ili an 5 per C en t s . are 1031. , he New Chilian Loan is is I, prem.rbeing firm ; , urkish 6 per Cents. have risen to 921 ; the New o' l e riP, Ist issue, has advanced to 1 dis. and par, and s ' ic 2 d ditto to 1 -2 prem.

Plaintiff stated that in Feb -1857, they became acquainted. On the sth of 4 re l ). they had c onnex ion, and on the sth of Dece Mber th e child Was born. Mr. Beard, of Basinghall-street, at gililded for th e defendant, and cross-examined compl ainant. f a : riev ercomplained to defendant's wifo of his conduct; in T il t ne ver said a word to any one until the child was born. 'Proper connexion only occurred once. She had BV" been familiar with any of defendant's men. Mr. f e ea b,4 ll contended that this was a vile charge against de 11--'4llt, got up to injure him. There was not the slightest ol4dation for such a summons. Complainant, who had B alled, hereupon demanded that defendant should be e ni .: (l ,, • Accordingly Webb was sworn, and denied most c e ,_ at ically that he ever took the slightest liberty with 1113:,aillant. The magistrate pointed out that the law re- C 4 i r that complainant's evidence should be confirmed. was not, the summons was dismissed. th e lIE NEW ADELPHI THEATRE. —On Saturday h avi whole o f t h e externa l struc t ure o f th e new t h eatre Nra re 4 g been completed, an immense number of workmen estabir,gaged preparing the interior for the opening of the Ploy ed s ulnent at Christmas.

Fair average supplies of wheat were on sale in most of the country markets held on Saturday, and the demand for kinds ruled heavy, at drooping prices. There was, how ever, a fair inquiry for fine barley, at full quotations ; but inferior parcels were very dull. Oats, beans, peas, and flour were a slow sale. The French markets have become somewhat firmer for wheat, but the demand for all other articles has continued inactive. In the United States both wheat and flour have sold on easier terms. Full average supplies of home-grown produce were re ceived up to our market last week. The arrivals from abroad were liberal, viz., 30,027 qrs. of wheat, 27,699 barley, 34,069 oats, 2,200 rye, 9,149 beans, 2,114 peas, 1,008 tares, 42,542 linseed, 16,721 rapeseed, 11,277 sundry seeds, 1,503 sacks and 5,468 barrels of flour. The arrivals of wheat fresh up this morning from Essex, were rather limited—from Kent, only moderate ; conse quently, the show of samples was rather limited. Com pared with Monday last, there was rather more firmness in the trade, and the bulk of the supply was disposed of at that day's decline in the quotations. The trade, however, was far from active, and the condition of the samples was by no means first rate. There was a large quantity of foreign wheat on the stands. A few selected samples were taken, at the extreme rates of this day sen'night ; but so little was doing in other kinds that the quotations were almost nominal. Floating cargoes of grain changed hands slowly, on former terms. The supplies of barley were seasonably extensive, and the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, at barely last week's currency, to fully is per quarter d ec li ne . _ _ _ _ Although the show of malt was only moderate, the de. viand for all kinds ruled heavy, at barely last week's quota. tions. Oats, the supply of which was good, moved off slowly, but we have no change to notice in value. We had a dull sale for beans, at barely late rates. In peas only a limited business was transacted, at prices barely equal to Monday last. The flour trade was quiet, on former terms. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

A fair clearance was effected, at very full prices. - From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up were very moderate, and in poor condition, consi dering that the great market will be held on Monday next. Compared with Monday last, there was an improved feeling in the demand for all breeds, and in some instances prices advanced 2d per 81bs—the primest Scots having realised 5s per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 2.600 shorthorns ; from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 191 Scots ; and from Ireland 600 oxen. A very limited supply of sheep was on offer, and its general quality was by no means first-rate. The mutton trade may be considered steady, at an improvethent in value of 2d per 81bs. The best old Downs sold at 5s per 81bs. Calves—the supply of which was unusually small— moved off steadily, at an advance in the quotations of 4d per 81b. Pigs were steady, and the turn dearer.

A WOOL MARKET. The public sales of Colonial wool, at which about 54,000 bales have changed hands, have been brought to a close. Throughout, the biddiiigs were active, and prices advanced id to 3d per lb. In the private contract market, English wool has produced rather more money, and the value of all other kinds is firmly supported. Last week's imports of were 583 bales from Sydney, 456 from Port Phillip, 1,400 from New Zealand, 2,553 from Algoa Bay, 86 from Port Philip, 924 from Taganrog, 655 from Odessa, 108 from Bombay, 314 from Hambro', 25 from Buenos Ayres, and 23 from Harburg.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.-( THIS DAY.) 1 COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor and Lords Justices.) IN RE THE ROYAL BRITISH BANK-EX PARTE NICOLL. The further hearing of this part-heardappeal motion was resumed this morning.. The Solicitor-General is now being heard for the respon dent. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before Mr. Baron Martin and a Special Jury.) EVANS V. EVANS AND ROBINSON. This was a suit instituted for the dissolution of marriage by Mr. Evans. In consequence of Sir C. Cresswell, the Judge Ordinary, having previously heard the cause at Li verpool, Mr. Baron Martin presided. The greatest diffi culty was occasioned in consequence of the non-attendance of the special jurors, only five out of 24 answering to their names. The cause of the non-attendance may be attributed to the dread of being detained for alength of time, similar to that consumed in hearing the Marchmont case. At a quarter past eleven the special jury list was again called, and a number of the absentees were, by order of the judge fined £2O each. Mr: Huddleston, Q.C., who opened the case, said—Thepe • titiouer, Mr. A. Lloyd Evans, was a gentleman of property, and also a surgeon. He was educated at Eton, and went to Oxford. After that he resided and practised at Chelten ham. The respondent, Mrs. Evans, wife of Mr. Evans, was about five-and-thirty years of age, and whose name was Carrington. Mr. Robinson, the co-respondent, was also a gentleman of position, having been (appointed by Lord Fitzhardinge to the offices of magistrate and deputy lord-lieutenant for the county of Gloucester, but of more advanced years than either Mr. or Mrs. Evans. When Miss Carrington was married to Mr. Evans the sum of £5OO was :settled on her in the event of the death of her husband, and her father gave her a marriage portion of £l,OOO. After the marriage they proceeded to Paris, and on their return to England they took up their residence in Leicester, in order that Mr. Evans might gratify his taste for hunting, and this circumstance unfortunately led to un happy differences, which terminated in the separation of the parties, and Mrs. Evans went t 9 live with her father at Cheltenham. It was here Mr. Robinson commenced his visits, and afterwards they were seen frequently walking and riding together. Mr. Robertson afterwards took lodg ings for her in Seymour-street, Portman-square, where he continually visited her, and they frequently went together l i to the theatre. On another visit he took lodgings for her at No. 15, Edgware-road, and he was provided with a latch key, by which means he had frequent access to her room night and day. The issues to be raised in this case were, a denial on the part of Mrs. Evans that any adultery had taken place, and an allegation that she had been deserted by her husband. Just as the learned gentleman was entering into the de tails of the case, a juror was taken so unwell that he was compelled to leave the court, and one of the jurors in wait ing was substituted for him. Mr. Huddlestone then went at some length into the,cir cumstances connected with the case, and detailed certain facts which he said he should be prepared to prove in evi dence, which would leave no doubt in the minds of the jury that criminal familiarities and intercourse had taken place between Mr. Robinson and Miss Carrington, prior to her marriage with Mr. Evans; and which he contended was the main inducement of Mr. Robinson to bring about the marriage with Mr. Evans ; and after having done so he should prove to the jury that Mr. Robinson exclaimed, " He's a slippery' fish, but we've hooked him at last," and it is not to be wondered at that a marriage effected by such means had resulted in misery and unhappiness. The examination of witnesses was then proceeded with, and the case is not expected to be concluded to-day. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Bomilly.) JUDGMENT-LOLLY V. ARBUTIINOT. His Honour the Master of the Rolls, in delivering judg ment, saii—This is nominally a suit to enforce two mortgage securities, but in truth it raises a question of some nicety, not before determined, as to the rights and interest of the parties entitled to take this £3,500 deposited, and which has now become the subject-matter of this suit. He said that after Col. Waugh had granted these mort gages over his property he executed an indenture in favour of his creditors, and appointed Mr. Apliu receiver of the rents of his estates. He also appointed to trustees to carry out the purpose of the trust, with power to Mr. Aplin to distrain as landlord in the event of the rents not being re gularly paid by himself or tenants. Col. Waugh became tenant, and afterwards bankrupt. Mr. Aplin distrained for 031 arrears of rent, and a question :was raised between the official assignee of the bankrupt and Mr. Aplin, the receiver, as to which of them was entitled to the pro ceeds of the sale of the distress for the arrears of rent of the estate. He considered the terms of Mr. Aplin's appoint ment as receiver, and referred to the decided cases relied on in the arguments, and after drawing the distinction between assignees appointed judically and receivers appointed voluntarily, his Honour came to the conclusion that Mr. Aplin, as receiver, was not properly put by his appointment in locus (in place) of the landlord, and that the bankrupt did not Nun to him as landlord ; and, therefore, in a com petition between him and the official assignee of the bank rupt for the proceeds of the distress for the arrears of rent due to the bankrupt's estate, the official assignee must be preferred. His Honour declared the defendant, the official assignee, entitled to the fund in court (£3,500), and dis missed the plaintiff's bill with costs. His Honour made the usual foreclosure decree on the first mortgage, but his Honour would not make any decla ration on the second mortgage, as it was not properly before him. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN RE CIIRISTMAS-JUDGNIENT. His Honour gave judgment as to certificate in the case of this bankrupt, described as a provision merchant, of Far ringdon-street, and who applied a few days since. The bankrupt owes to creditors £1,127, and there is nothing for the creditors. The gross profits were only £295, and the trade expenses had been £753 ; personal, £353 ; and losses, £595.. It was alleged against the bankrupt that he Iliad falsely stated that he had sold some horses and carts to his brother-in-law, but ho could not give any account as to the disposal of the proceeds. His Honour said the assignees had in this case done that which ought more frequently to be done--brought the facts before the Court, and performed their duty to the public, although at their expense, as there were no assets. He considered the conduct of the bankrupt to have been fradu lent, and that the sale was fictitious. He, therefore, sus pended the certificate, third-class, for six months ; and, as it was supposed that the bankrupt possessed son►c property, the question of certificate must stand over, but 21 days would be granted, to enable the bankrupt to appeal. • SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) IMPORTANT TO SUITAS.-BURN V. FRANCE. - Mr. Buchanan, of Basinghall-street, applied on behalf of the plaintiff for costs and attendance money for several wit nesses. Defendant had this morning paid into court the debt and costs of summons, and of this fact he (Mr. Bucha nan) had only that moment received notice. As he had subpoenaed some witnesses, and paid their conduct money, he had paid the hearing fees. Amongst the costs sought to be recovered was an item of a few shillings for 'bus hire, incurred from having to travel three miles out and three miles home for the purpose of serving notices. His Honour decided that he could not allow this. Mr. Buchanan—These notices were absolutely necessary to our case. His Honour then made an order for the usual costs. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SHOP ROBBERY IN REGENT-STREET.—John Frederick Stanton and George Haddock, the former a porter and the latter an old cloth-cleaner, in the employ of Messrs. Swears and Wells. hosiers, 193, Repent-street, were charged with stealing 14 silk handkerchiefs and other property from their employers. Mr. Henry Finch Swears said that having reason to-sus pect the prisoners, owing to several articles being missed lately, on Saturday night he went on the roof of the shop, and on looking through the skylight he saw the prisoner Haddock go behind the counter and take from a drawer the I handkerchiefs, and then go round the counter again. He (witness) then went down into the counting-house, and having procured a constable Haddock was taxed with having taken the handkerchiefs, but denied it. On going down into a vault where Stanton was employed and saying, "I think you have been robbing us," he denied it, but on looking round the handkerchiefs were found in a box close by him. On Haddock was found a red silk handkerchief, which he said he bought for 2s. 6d., but the trade price was more, and from the fact that it had been hemmed by a woman, and that they had some like it in stock, he believed it had been stolen from their shop. Police-constable 98 C said on going to Stanton's lodgings, York-street, Westminster, he found a letter rack, some gloves, and a piece of carpeting. The first witness identified the property, especially the gloves, which were their own make, as that of the firm. Haddock said he was not guilty. Stanton said one o f the handkerchiefs was given to him by a person employed by the firm. The gloves were swept out with rubbish, and the letter rack he thought was of no use. The prisoners were then committed for trial. THIS DAI'S SHIPPING. LONDON, Dec. 6.—Wind this day at noon, N.W. ; light breeze, and foggy.

An interesting lecture was delivered by Mr. Hankey, M.P., on Monday evening, to the members of the Peterborough Mechanics' Institute, on the principles and system of banking. The main ob ject of the lecture was to show the utility of, and advantages arising from, banking transactions to the community generally. The lecturer proceeded. to show the distinction between capital and cur. rency, and the comparatively small value of gold, except as a medium for fixing the value of other property, and accounting for the difference of value on the exchange of property of different kinds., The advantages arising from the facilities thus afforded for making capital productives were then referred to, one of the greatest of these being the stimulus given to industry and a desire to accumulate property, in which case the need of a banker became apparent. A banker was not, as was supposed by some, the creator of capital because he issuod his own promissory notes, though in a qualified sense he might be so considered while his paper was in operation as the representative of capital. The hon. gentlemaa explained the working of the systom of bank agency prevailing in the Bank of England in reference to its three prin cipal divisions—first, as Government agents, their management of the national debt ; next, the circu lation of their own promissory notes ; and, thirdly, as a bank for deposits, discounts, &e. The whole of the vast machinery connected with these was so managed that, notwithstanding the magnitude of their transactions, they were per formed with the greatest ease and exactness. The lecturer described the working of the bank ing establishments in London and the provinces, and showed their great value in offering accom modation for the employment of money, as well as a convenience to merchants and tradesmen who desired to open running accounts, bankers looking for their own profit to the procuring larger in terest than they gave and the charges they make on certain transactions. The operations of the clearing-house were next explained. and the lecturer concluded by observing that among the qualifications which should distinguish the banker, as fitting him for his undertaking, the moral qualification was not the least important. A vote of thanks was unanimously voted to the hon. gentleman at the close of his address, which was listened to throughout with the greatest attention. THE LATE LORD CHARLES WELLESLEY.—The will of Major-General the Right Hon. Lord Charles Welles ley, of Upper Belgrave-street and Conholt-park, near An dover, formerly M.P. for South Hampshire, the younger son of his Grace the late Most Noble Arthur Duke of Wel lington, was proved in the London Court of Probate, an the 23d ult. The peesonalty was sworn under £60,000, which, together with L 45,000 under marriage settlement, was left by his will, dated the 13th Feb., 1846, for the use of his wife for life, and their children if attaining 21; fail ing, to the present duke ; and appointing Lady Charles Wellesley residuary legatee. ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S-INN-ROAD.—The number of patients relieved at this hospital during the week ending Dec. 4 was 2,310, of whom 599 was new cases. CITY OF LONDON HOSPITAL FOR DISEASES OP THE CHEST, VICTORIA-PARK.---It appears from the returns of this institution that 1,052 patients were relieved during last week, of which number 134 were new cases. CRRSTAL PALACE.—HALFCROWN DAY.—Satur day, Dec. 4.—Admissions on payment, 505 ; ditto by season, tickets, 1,800; total visitors 2,305. FLOATING CHAPEL ON THE TYNE.—An appli cation having been made to the Lords of the Admiralty to grant the hulk of a war frigate for the purpose of turning it into a sailors' chapel, their lordships have informed the ap plicants that the Rattlesnake will be placed at their disposal. We believe it is:intended to fit it up by private subscription, and it will be used for services conducted by a minister of the established church.--Newcastle Guardian. ALLEGED PREVALENCE OF FEVER IN WINDSOR. —A special meeting of the Windsor Board of Health was held on Friday, in consequence of communications from the Privy Council relating to the prevalence of fever. Mr. Simon, a medical gentleman ; INIr. Austin, an enklineer ; and Professor Taylor had been down with a view of ascer taining the cause of the disease. After some discussion Mr. Simon, who was in attendance, was requested to give the result of his inquiries. He said that disease undoubt edly prevailed in the town, and they had had a large num ber of cases. The impression conveyed to him by the vicar was that, including severe and slight cases, there wero about 100. This particular disease, more than any other, was dependent upon filth, and the object of the inquiry was to ascertain the state of the sewage, the water supply, and what were the arrangements for the removal of refuse. The result of inquiries had been the discovery of an ab sence of ventilation in the sewers, that the arrangements for the removal of refuse in connection with certain occupations were defective, that the water supplied by the water company was otherwise than wholesome, and that the water obtained from some of the wells was filthy and pointed to a great degree. It had also been foand that many of the closets were without water, and the drain age was considerably defective. SUICIDE IN A WATER-BUTT. —On Saturday afternoon an inquest was held by Mr. W. Baker, at the Feathers Tavern, Austin-street, Bethnal-green, respecting the death of Thomas Harrison, aged 44 years, a master b oo t and shoe manufacturer, cf No. 26, Austin-street, who com mitted suicide. The testimony add uce d proved that the deceased had been subject to fits of delirium for some time past, and had given way to habits of intemperance. On Tuesday night last the deceased and his wife with the female servant, after placing se vera l c h a i rs at the front door, re tired to rest, but at an early hour on the following morning a noise was heard, when the deceased came down stairs. Subsequently he was missing, and when search was made he was discovered head foremost in the water- butt in the yard. The servant, who found the body, raised an alarm, when one of the workmen turned the butt over and dragged deceased out. He was insensible, and a messenger was sent for medical assistance. The deceased's hands were firmly tied round by a cord at the wrist, and the left l eg was also secured to prevent his struggling Dr. Bur chell, of Kingsland-road, stated that the deceased had no doubt committed the act, and there was nothing to show to the contrary. The jury were quite satisfied with the evi dence, and returned a verdict of "Temporary insanity." THIRD EDITION. SUN OFFICE, Six o' Clock. TATTERS ALLS'-( THIS EVENING.)

By Willi am Words worth. Illustrated by Birket Foster and H. N. Humphreys. - Longman and Co. Wordsworth's popular poem of " The White Doe of Rylstone" is now offered to the public in the form of a very elegant Christmas gift book. It is a highly praiseworthy system which is now adopted by publishers, who combine th e graces of the artists' pencil with the charm of immortal verse, and employ the skill of the designer to illustrate some standard work instead of those superficial and transitory publications which were often written to suit the pictures. Wordsworth's rank among poets is the subject of fierce dispute —some regard ing him as second to none but Shakspeare, while others resent his assumption of the title of poet. Perhaps, a middle !course in this, as in so many other disputes, would be the wisest, but at any rate the bard of Rysdal Mount has a very large class of admirers who will gladly welcome such a volume as the present. Birket Foster lends the aid of his ever graceful pencil, and as usual his landscapes excel his groups of figures. K. N. Humphreys has drawn all the canto titles and tail pieces with singular success. The introductory pages are beautiful, the binding is gorgeous, and the paper is especially fine. All the ladscape sub jects have been drawn, we are told, from original and authentic sketches, and they certainly bear testimony to the loveliness of our English. wood lands. All the designs have been skilfully en graved by Mr. Henry Woods. Altogether, the volume is most suitable for a gift-book at the fes tive season forthcoming, and will always be accept able to the lovers of art and elegance. Dublin University Magazine. " Gerald Fitzgerald, the Chevalier," is continued, and in the somewhat lengthened portion that we meet with in this number, very great vicissitudes befal the hero. He narrowly escapes from a violent death in consequence of being seized by some of the reckless devotees of revolt and carnage. He scarcely passes from this danger to fall into another, and is imprisoned. Finally, through one of the phases of the strange events then occurring, he is taken to Rome, in order to carry out some important plan devised by persons in authority. This story is very entertaining, with its several momentous details and descriptions. There- is an excellent article, entitled " Remonstrances of a Radical," which discusses Mr. Bright's speeches. There is a great deal of common sense in the obser vations, and a few appropriate quotations from different sources demonstrate the mistakes that were made in that violent address. After stating that there were many worthy mechanics at the Town-hall of Birmingham, it is said, " We do re pudiate the attempt to lower those minds, to heat those brains, to poison those hearts, by such unstatesmanlike, unmbrotherly, unmanly diatrites as those which Mr. Bright there launched against the peers and landed gentry of the realm of Britain. We cannot bear to see the understanding of our working men insulted, and their passions roused, by statements which vanish when cast for one earnest moment into the crucible of sound historical, political, moral, social criticism." The paper on " Recent Novels" gives a fair summary of many works of fiction, which will be entertain ing to those who have read them, and prove instruc tive to those who have not met with the subjects under criticism, " Chronicles of Castle Cornet" is a very ingenious story, which must attract at tention from its peculiar style. There is something very original about it, and the dark mystery that hangs over it will invest it with an additional fasci nation for many. Some verses on " The Memorial Church at Constantinople " are written in an appro priate manner, the style is solemn, and yet there is a calm trnst evinced that befits the record of the Christian soldier's rest, when, his warfare o'er, he sleeps-the sleep that knows not waking. " Rides upon Mules and Donkeys " continue the series of travels previously recounted ; in this part the journey is amonc , the granite boulders of Syene. " The Black Chamber ' is a German ghost story, suited to the lovers of horror, but it is not c a l cu - . lated to please the general reader. " Recent Cambridge Literature" is a clever article, which is worthy of perusal, as it enters fully into the subject, without prejudice. After some specimens of recent works, it is said that with Whewell and Herschell, and many others, Cambridge may rest content, for her men " stand in the front rank of the march of intellect." The Art Journal—The first of tho three plates in this number of the Art Journal, is from a painting by G. Metzu, in the Royal Collection. It repre sents a German girl gathering a bunch of grapes from the outside of her window. The light and shade is skilfully contrasted, but the plain round face and clumsy figure of the lady mars the effect. " The Waterfall," by Zuccherelli, also in the Royal Collection, is a graceful landscape, with a town and bridge in the background. The groups about the waterfall, which is not of alarming height, are prettily arranged. The third plate represents the statue of George Stephenson, by E. H. Bally, R.A. His fine head and dignified bearing are eminently characteristic. One of the most attractive articles in the Art Journal has long been the " The Book of the Thames," by Mr. and Mrs.. A. C. Hall. The present instalment, which concludes it, 'is more than usually attractive. The illustrations are numerous, and those of " Shells" and " The Thames and Medway" are especially successful. " Botany, as adapted to the Arts and Art Manu facture" is another remarkable paper, and merits the attention of designers. The usual variety of essays on artistic subjects, and art criticism, is given, and are full of interest. One of the most remarkable features in the number before us is the completion of the twenty-first volume of the Art Journal, thus testifying the ability and success with which it has been conducted, and also the general development of artistic and cultivated taste during late years. We trust this public favourite will continue for many years to celebrate its anniversary, and to improve and refine the popular taste in art. MISCELLANEOUS MAGAGINES. The Eclectic Review has an interesting paper on Dante, giving a sketch of his career, and numerous extracts from translations of his poems, which will be very attractive to those who are unacquainted. with the works of this great master of song. " Fiji and the Fijians" gives a melancholy picture of the dapths human nature can sink to when wire restrained by religion and civilisation. Mr. Helps's volume, " Oulita, the Serf," receives a dis criminating criticism, and M. Quatrefage's " Rambles of a Naturalist" are also noticed. This magazine has passed into new hands, and will commence a new and improired series next month, under the title of The Eclectic. It will be increased in size without alteration of price, and while still maintaining its nonconforming opininons, will be calculated to interest a large circle of readers from its greater va r i e ty and animation.—th.titan has scarcely so attr ac ti ve as usual this a little too much of the vexed questions of the day —the Confessional and the French police. Still there is always something to repay the reader for its perusal, and the plan of givin extracts,from the new b oo k s at the conclusion is an excellent one.—Newton's London Journal contains its usual account of the recent patents and reports of institutions. The introductory article is devoted to the consideration of the present state and prospects of decorative art. Le Folic' has several pretty plates of fashions in the warm wraps and bright colours suitable to this winter season. The national Magazine has a variety of pleasant papers, an d i s more genera ll y a tt rac tive than usual. The curious story of " Miles Cassidy's Contract" is .6 continued in characteristic style. Black and Grey" gives a pleasing account of the old traditions of Nixes and Undines. We are sorry we cannot accord the same approval to the engravings as to the writings. ANOTHER FATAL PUGILISTIC ENCOUNTER.— On Saturday morning Air. Payne, the coroner, received in formation of the death of William Newton' aged 38 years, a man who resided: in Butler's-buildings, East Smithfield, under the following circumstances :—lt appeared that the deceased and a ship carpenter, named Wells, had a quarrel on beard a brig from Greenock, lying off the Customhouse, when blows were exchanged, and a terrific encounter ensued. The deceased, who was the worse for liquor, was evidently the weakest man, and Wells either knocked him or threw him into the river. He was taken out in a state of insen sibility, and conveyed to the receiving - house at Billingsg a t e , where medical assistonce was sent for. A surgeon, who prmptly attended. advised his immediate removal to Guy's tiospital, but death shortly terminated his sufferings. The deceased, on being stripped, presented a most frightful ap ?earance, being completely black and blue. Share all 1100 6 100 100 100 100 all I Paid 2 2 14 10 72 i
