The eminent historian who has so recently departed from amongst us is the subject of two papers, The first, a tribute from the pen of the Rev. F. I). Maurice ; the second, a 'very interesting article entitled, " Macaulay as a toy," containing two letters from Hannah More to his father. The reader will trace with interest in these records of his early career, the evidences of those literary tastes and brilliant talents which have since made his name so famous. The his torian's mother, it appears, had been a favourite pupil of Hannah More, when she and her sister kept a ladies' school at Bristol. She preserved an intimate friendship with both his parents, and always took a deep interest in the young scholar. It is curious to read these letters by the light of his after fame, and to reflect that the boy whose educa tion at Westminster school was matter of anxious discussion, has so recently been consigned to his last home in its Abbey. Even at the early age re ferred to, the peculiar powers of memory and the extensive study which afterwards so wonderfully anriched his style, appear to have manifested themselves. Thus Hannah More alludes to a de bate on the rival merits of Eugene and Marl borough, and says :—" The quantity of reading that Tom has poured in, and the quantity of Writing he has poured out, is astonishing. It is in vain I have tried to make him subscribe to Sir Harry Sayile's notion, that the poets are the best writers next to those who writs prose. We have poetry for breakfast, dinner, and supper. He re cited all ' Palestine,' while we breakfasted, to Mr. Whalley, and did it incomparably." " Tom Brown at Oxford" keeps on his way with spirit. The Most remarkable incident in this instalment is the account of a " gown and town row." The author thinks it necessary to preface it by the expression ° ) ,t his disapproval, and the announcement that sehool of " Muscular Christianity" does ' "°,t, include such use of bodily strength. modern Pensee *Writers " is the title of a curious Piper,- which gives us some glimpses into the trea suries of thought collected by the Hares, Novalis, a nd Jonbert. The popular authoress of " John Ualifax" contributes one of her attractive papers, b earing the fascinating title of " The Age of Gold." It does not refer to our modern money-making or a ny such tangible wealth. The age of gold alluded t 0 ,,. is the fairy world of imagination and fancy t ivnich devolopes itself in a love of Mother Hub uard, and shows a vivid appreciation of Robinson Crusoe and the Arabian Nights. The paper in question hail much pleasant writing, and suggests some important truths to those who have the charge ;,,t the un f o ldi ng i n t e ll ec t. A n accoun t o f "Ha r per 's F erry and old Captain Brown" will deeply inte telt the reader. A clear and succinct summary of *ohn Brown's antecedents is given, a sketch of his r i an of action shown to us, and the excellencies of ,s character prominently displayed in his letters. After giving the particulars of his death the writer obser ves , " Thus ended the first American execu 'ion for treason, for, strangely enough, it is said that this God-fearing Bible-believing descendant of the Pilgrim Fathers, was the first citizen of the United States who has died a traitor's death." It they add point to the fact if we remember that both grandfathers of this first "traitor" were officers 44 the revolutionary army, and that he himself was Ilizth in direst descent from one of the pilgrims rho landed from the Mayflower. The writer re 'narks o that such a man should thus die is a fact V thich has set men thinking. Here is a man, honest, brave, Christian, both fearing God, and the o f man t o an e x t en t which men read of in deeds of the heroes and saints of old, but which 5 7 feel in their own hearts it is rare enough to il l les-And yet this brave man is hanged.

We are glad to Nee the improved and enlarged serias is conducted with so much spirit. The new edition of lire's Dictionary of Arts, Ma niffactures, and Mines, is not likely to pass un noticed by the scientific world. It is under the able editorship of Mr. Robert Hunt, whose name is a sufficient warrant for its careful and authentic compilation. It is chiefly rewritten and greatly enlarged, and illustrated with nearly two thousand woodcuts. The fourth part contains, among other valuable information, articles on caoutchouc and coal. There is also some account of ehlorometry, the process by which the strength or value of substances containing chlorine is tested. We are very glad to see a work of such a standard character as the late Dr. Ure's Dictionary reproduced in its present enlarged and completed form.—Charles Knight's publications maintain their usual degree of excellence. The Popular History of England comes down to the termination of the American war by the Peace of 1783. The sixth volume is brought to a close at this grand political division, and the seventh vo lume will bring us to a yet more exciting and event ful period.—The English Cycloperdia continues in its accustomed manner. Its character is now so well known as scarcely to need criticism. A few pages are deficient in this part which will be supplied next month. 'When the four divisions are com pleted the Englisn Cyclopedia will scarcely yield precedence to any work of reference in our libraries, for extent, variety, and moderation.—Routledge'e Shakespeare having reached the forty-eighth part brings us to his poems end sonnets. We may therefore infer that the work is approaching its conclusion, when we shall notice it at greater length.—Routledge's _lllustrated Natural _History has reached the eleventh part, both prose and pic tures being of a high order. The people's editio❑ of Moore's National Airs offers a boon to all lovers of good music, since ten songs of lyrical and musi cal excellence can be obtained for a shilling, the compass and arrangement being within the reach of moderately gifted amateurs.—On• of Them, by Charles Lever, is written in that sparkling author's accustomed manner and will probably afford his admirers much plea sant reading hereafter.—Plain or Ringlets is an other of the humourous sporting stories by the au thor of " Handley Cross.' Leech's pencil as usual does good service, and adds considerably to its at tractions.—The Universal Decorator is likely to im prove the public taste by its suggestions for artistic embellishments of honsehold goods. Some of the numerous illustrations are full of grace and har mony. The editor, Mr. 'Wilson Ross, contributes a pleasant memoir of Quintin Matsys, the black smith painter. A variety of excellent prose mat ter is contained in it, as well as the decorative sug gestions.— The Literary and Educational Year Book for 1860 has :an endless variety of literary and scholastic information: It gives us a list of all books, journals, periodicals, and engravings, pub lished during the past year ; of all metropolitan and provincial newspapers ; providing us also with an account of all learned, literary and artistic societies; of all meckanics' and educational institutes for the improvement of the people ; giving us the names of the projectors and managers of these schemes, the localities where they flourish, and the nature of their efforts. The heads of the Universities are cited, and an account of the questions proposed for the Oxford Middle-class and Society of Arts Insti totes' examinations are given in full. The Oeean Marine Insurance shares are 2} prem.; the Universal, prem.; the San Paulo Railway, toy , dis.; the Bank of Turkey, par to prem.; and the Canada Loan, 21 Y prem.

Owing to the crisis the precious metals are being hidden, and even cop per has become :so scarce that a premium is paid when given for paper. The commercial community hopes Government will keep its promise to reduce the amount of paper money, and to put into circu lation from 25,000,000 to 30,000,000 of roubles in new copper coin. So great is the scarcity of small coin that notes are cut into pieces to represent such coin, and retail traders have issued a sort of paper tokens which they agree among themselves to ac cept as coin." To secure uniformity of ammunition, it is ordered that the native force shall be armed with the smooth bore musket, such as is used by the Indian regi ments now serving in China; and corps now armed with rifles are to have them exchanged before em barkation for the old Brown Bess — a mercif• ul wea pon, which is warranted never to hit anything i t is aimed at. The Chinese, on the contrary, .have for a long time been providing themselves with arms of precision ; they w ere well supplied wi▪ th them at the Pei-ho, and a r e sa id to have largelyin creased their stock since that affair.

The major states that the matchlock men " qu i e tly s t oo d looking at us, but beyond our fire (common mus • kets)," and that Lieutenant Hallett was struck by a matchlock ball at a distance of 600 yards. For tunately it lodged in the b rass o f hi s t e l escope .

CORN EXCHANGE. The leading con 'ry markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat in somewhat improved con dition. GIL the whole, demand ruled steady at full prices. The barley trade was rather active at extreme rates. In the value of other produce no change took place. Throughout the Continent wheat has continued to move off slowly. Spring corn, however, has commanded very full prices. The tiansactions in wheat for export purposes in the United States have not increased. The arrivals of English produce up to our market last week were very moderate. From abroad the imports were 680 quarters of wheat, 15,326 barley, 11,455 oats, 628 beans, 26 peas, 760 tares, 4,910 linseed, 2,352 rapeseed, 421 sun ' dry seeds, and 672 barrels of flour. Fresh up to-day the arrivals of English wheat were only moderate, but we observed an improvement in the general condition of both red and white qualities. Notwithstand ing that the show of samples was rather limited, millers generally showed no disposition to purchase beyond imme diate wants. The trade, therefore, was somewhat inactive, nevertheless, osmpared with Monday last, no quotable change took place in prices. We were again well supplied with foreign wheat. The transactions in most kinds were comparatively small. In prices, however, no change took place. The inquiry for floating cargoes, off Falmouth, was some what restricted at late rates. There was a good demand for most kinds of barley, and, owing to the want of fine samples, secondary descriptions were rather dearer than on Monday last. We have to report a dull sale for most kinds of malt, and inferior parcels were the turn cheaper. Oats, the supply of which was moderate, moved off steadily, at full prices. Both beans and peas were in short supply and steady request, at extreme rates. Flour sold at late currencies, but the demand for it was by no means active. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Sales progressed slowly, on former terms. From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts fresh up were by no means extensive ; but their general quality was tolerably prime. For all breeds there was a fair, but by no means active, inquiry, at last week's cur rency. The primest Scots and crosses sold at 4s. 10d. per 81bs. The trade closed flatly. The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire amounted to about 1,800 Scots, crosses, &o.; from other parts of England, 700 of various breeds; from Scotland, 450 Scots and crosses; and, from Ireland, 12 heifers. With most breeds of sheep we were rather scantily sup plied, even though the number was slightly on the increase. Compared with this day se'nnight no change took place in the quotations. The mutton trade, though healthy, was far from active. The best old Downs sold at ss. 6d. per Sibs. There were about 200 clipped sheep on offer. Although the supply of calves was very moderate, the veal trade ruled somewhat heavy, and late rates were barely supported. On the whole, the pork trade was steady, at last week's quotations.

Stohwassen, which was only of interest to the parties concerned. COURT OF COMNION PLEAS. (Before the Lord Chief Justice Erle.) FILBE3f/LN V. JACOBS. This was an action brought for the recovery of a sum of £lOO, the price paid by the plaintiff to the defendant for a horse. The animal was purchased at Hornchurch Fair by Freeman for the bum of £lOO, the defendant warranting it to be perfectly sound. ILAvever, after it had been in the hands of the purchaser about a fortnight it died, and on a post mortem examination it was discovered that for some Nine it had been labouring under a chronic disease. The defendant alleged the horse was - sound when he was sold, and . that death had been occasioned by the plaintiff putting the horse in a cold box, after subjecting him to a severe gallop, which brought on cold which ended in the loss of the horse. The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff, with £lOO damages. COURT OF EXCHRQUF.R. The Court was occupied the whole day in hearing the arguments of Sir Fitzroy Kelly relative to the infringement of a patent granted for a certain metal, used for making capsules and other purposes. COURT OP BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN R]i BILDWIN.-FAMILY CREDITORS.-IMPORTANT JUDGMENT. The bankrupt was described as a tailor, of Comhill. This morning his Honour gave judgment upon a proof of £2,000 tendered by the son and daughter of the bank rupt. The case had been adjourned on a previous occasion. It appeared that the debts were about £5,000, and of this sum £3,000 was due to trade creditors, the remaining £2,000 was now sought to be entered as a proof. The bankrupt made a composition with the trade creditors to pay 13s. in the p.,und. The present claimants bound them selves under a covenant not to receive anything until that amount had been paid. Some informality occurred, and the original intention not being carried out the parties came to this court, and the present proof was tendered by the claimants. By this means two• fifths of the assets would be swallowed up by the relations of the bankrupt. It was a hard case on the creditors, who were often taken by surprise in these transactions, but he (the Commissioner) had no alternative than to admit the proof—it appeared, however, to be a hard case without a remedy, and ho would not allow costs on either side. IN RE CASTLE. This bankrupt was described as of Vantage, Berks, cattle dealer. The balance-sheet, by Messrs. Hart, Brothers, showed—Debtor to creditors, £225 18s. Ild. Creditor, by good debts, £ll 14s. ; doubtful, £4l; property, £152; profits, £255; trade expenses, £102; losses, bad debts, £397. The solicitor to the assignees said he wished to ezamin• the bankrupt, not with the view of asking for an adjourn ment, but for information; but the bankrupt had not ar rived, and the case was allowed to stand over for a short time. This was the only case up to one o'clock. POLICE INTELLIGENOE-( THIS DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. AN AFRICAN SHOP THIEF.—Sambo, an African, well known at the West-end of the town, and who has been a source of great trouble to respectable tradesmen, was charged before Mr. Beadon with stealing a Glengary cap from the shop of Messrs. Townsend, hatters, 371, Oxford-street. Frederick Kent, a lad in the prosecutor's employ, said at a late hour on Saturday night, while shutting up the shop, he saw the prisoner in the shop trying to thrust the cap into his pocket, and then run off. He was pursued and given into custody. He had at the time he was in the shop some song-books. Prisoner, who was all in rags, said, " Oh no, me meant to buy it. Me have the money in my pocket, and me vast a nice cap. Me told by the man to go and me do go. No man in this country call me king. Me not guilty. " The constable said the prisoner only had 12. IN. in his pocket at the time. Committed for trial. THE BEGGING NUISANCE.—During the past few days, as usual at this season of the year when,tso many influen tial families are brought to town, a large number of beg gars have been brought to this court, some of them the most notorious in the metropolis. In moat cases the pH. soners were committed for a month each. In the neigh bourhood of the clubs they have become aperfect pest. THAMES. ATTEMPTED SUlClDE.—Margaret Blake, a dissipated looking woman, about 30 years of age, and well-known at this court, was charged with attempting to commit self destruction. William Moyse, tailor and cutter-out, of No. 5 Hooper's square,Whitechapel, stated, that yesterday afternoon, about three minutes to three o'clock, he was passing a public house at the corner of Prescott-street, and Leman•street, Whitechapel. Tho landlord and his men were closing the house. The prisoner was insisting on being served with gin, and the waiter refused to serve her with any. She was then swallowing something from a phial. The waiter asked her to give him the phial which she refused to do unless he gave her some gin. She was turned out of the house and immediately fell upon the ground and appeared to be dead. Her hands were chafed, some cold water was thrown over her face, and she recovered sufficiently to utter a few words, and said she had taken laudanum for a disease of the heart. He took the phial from her, and found it to con tain the remains of some laudanum. The prisoner said in her defence that she had been in the practice of taking laudanum for some time. Mr. Yardley—You took too much yesterday. The prisoner—l only took one pennyworth. Mr. Yardley—l don't know whether a pennyworth of laudanum will kill or not. Moyes—Sho told me she took two pennyworth of laudanum. A policeman said that the prisoner was taken to the Lon don Hospital, and a good deal of laudanum was dislodged from her stomach. Mr. Yardley said the medical certificate merely said the woman was labouring under the effects of poisoning by laudanum. He asked the prisoner if she could give some account of herself, and she replied that she lived in High Holborn. Mr. Yardley—What brought you to this end of the town ? Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner was well known. Mr. Yardley—Has oho been here before ? Roche—Very often. I have lost sight of her fur nine months. It was here stated that the prisoner said this morning " I have much trouble on my mind; I am determined to poison myself." Mr. Yardley remanded the prisoner for a week, and said he should probably commit her for trial when she was brought before him again. THIS DAY'S SHIPPING.
