MONEY MARKET A D COMMERCIAL IN'rET.T.IGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLoex. During the past week the business transacted in the various manufacturing districts hai been of a very limited character. At Birmingham the lion trade of South Staffordshire continues very dull, and the prices offered by buyers are too low for holders to accept. In the various fancy depart ments there is little activity to report. The mar ket for all descriptions of cloths continues Tery languid ; there have been few new contracts entered into, and the depression in prices exercised a prejudicial influence on all descriptions of goods. A little improvement has been manifested at Leeds for some descriptions of goods, chiefly for those suitable for the autumn. The various cloth halls were well attended, and for the home trade there was a satisfactory dem Ind. nnsineie at Halifax has been rather brisker, and Most kinds of piece goods obtain remunerative prices. At Bradford the transactions in piece goods were by no means extensive, but there was a satisfactory decrease in the numbir of the unem ployed operatives, owing to orders having been given out for exportation to the United States. Therdhas been a slightimprovement at both Leices ter and Nottingham for most descriptions of laces and hosiery, and buyers have purch‘sed to a mo derate extent. Stocks in the manufacturers hands are small, and, for shipping, the lower descriptions of cotton hosiery are in good demand. At Sheffield and Wolverhampton the various hardware trades have been very quiet, the excitement attending the queen's visit to Birmingham having caused almost 4 4 entire suspension of business. Letters from Liverpool mention that the Cottcn Market on Saturday closed irmly, and prices of all descriptions were fully suppor'ed. The sAles amounted to 8,000 bales, 1,000 of which were taken by the speculators, and 1,000 by the exporters. Th e Railway Share Market presented a quiet ap- Pearane,e, but quotations tended slightly up wa-ds. There is no diminution in the general demand for Money, the applications in Lombard street and at the Bank of England still being numerous. The s upply, however, being abundant, there is an ab sence of pressure, and it is thought that the in creased activity of the inquiry will not continue. Upwards of half a million sterling in issue, chiefly Australian, was bought last week for transmission L to the Continent. The exchange at Paris, however, ix now rather firmer, and the remittances are likely to be more confined to purchases of silver, which ketal is being sent to India in larger quantities than for some months past. The influx of specie con tinues on a large scale, and there is some proba bility of a portion being sent into the Bank. The arrivals announced to-day comprise the Cambria, f rom Alexandria, with 60,4801. ; the Africa, from ' 4 ,2 3 7r York, with 20,0001. ; and the Medway, f rom V ictoria, with 38,372/. Continued depression is visible in the English Stock Market. It opened at Saturday's closing rates, but there has since been increased weak- I less, and a decline of k per cent. There is 110 new cause to account for this retro grade movement, and the market appears to I llifer as much from the extreme paucity of buti !ln as from anything else.

CORN EXCHANGE. Only moderate supplies of wheat were on sale in the leading country markets held on Saturday ; nevertheless, all kinds met a dull inquiry, and prices had a downward tenency. Barley was dull, and the turn cheaper. In other produce very littlo was doing. The continental markets have been flat for wheat, spring corn, and flour. In the United States prices continue very low. The arrivals of English grain up to our market Lilt week was very moderate. From abroad the imports were liberal—viz., 19,475 quarters of wheat, 4.338 barley, 52,242 oats, 279 beans, ],017 peas, 5 tares, 2,86.5 linseed, 3,600 rapeseed, 3 mustard seed, 190 sundry seeds, 1,840 sacks and 2,570 barrels of flour. Fresh up to-day, .coastwise and by land carnage, a very limited supply of wheat came to hand from Essex, Bcnt, Ice. Notwithstanding that the show of samples was trifling, the millers showed no disposition to get into stock, and the trade ruled inactive. In the ♦alue of some runs, no quotable change took place ; but middling and inferior parcels were certainly the turn lower than on Monday last. There was a very large show of foreign wheat. Sven at further reduced rates, say is per qr., the demand ruled heavy, and very little wheat changed bands. Floating cargoes of krain were very dull. Barley, the show of which was limited, met a slow in- quiry at about last week's currency. We had a dull inquiry for malt, and the late decline in value was with difficulty supported. Although the show of foreign oats was extensive, the oat trade ruled steady, at last week's quotations. tie value of beans and peas, the show of which was limited, no change took place, and the demand for those articles may be considered steady. We had a dull inquiry for flour, at barely last n eek's quotations. CURRENCY prit IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Compared with Mon lay left, the err ivals of homy-fed beasts fresh up this morning were on the increase, and most breeds came to hand in good con 'Rion. Although the attendance of buyers was rather on the increase, the beef trade ruled heavy, sit a decline in the quotations realised on Monday last of 2.1 per 803. . The general top figure for beef did not exceed 4 s 4 d per B lbs. From 2 N,7rnd Suffolk, Essex, and Camb r id ges hi re, wo short-horns; from oth er par t s o f o5f)olk, Scots a received England 350 of various breeds; and, from Scotland, 28 Scots. The show of sheep was considerably on tho increase. The primest old Downs wore mostly disposed of at full pricer, but other breeds of sheep met a dull inquiry, at ►arely last week's currency. We had a fair demand for lambs, the supply of which was tolerably extensive, at previous rates, viz., 5i Sd to 7s per 81bs. There were SOO Irish lambs in the market. Calves —the show of la hich was moderate—met a slow inquiry, at Thursday's currency. In pip very few transactions took place on former Jerrne. Bibs to sink the offals. a. d. 11. d. I I. 4. i. ‘l.

Annexed is another letter received on the inte resting question of bankers' holidays, as presented in the case of the recent frauds upon the London and WeAmitister Bank. Of course the subject is one which can be extensively ventilated, and various opinions are likely to be entertained of the pre sumed practice, bat if clerks are inherently honest they need not fear any such regulations. The reoent attempted forgery on the Lyndon and County Bank is a sad illustration of the progress of crime ; the culprit, who was orit o inally a clerk in the esta blishment, having previously been convicted of a similar offence, his term having only just ex pired : " S r,—ln your itnprescion of yesterday a banker's clerk writes on the above autject, with refernce to the recent frauds on the London and Westminster Bank, that in that establiehme, t it is not compulsory in clerks to tike the annual fortnight's leave of ab , ense, and that it is not granted with a view to the detection of fraud. Now Gilbart, in his "Practical Treadle nn Banking," Section 11., under the heading, "The Rules a D:c cipline—Lloliiay s ," "It is desirable, on several accounts, that all the officer+ of a hank, and especially those who are entrusted with cash, or other property, ehoul I once a pat have leave of abeeece for at least a week ter a fortnight. This should not even be optional—it ought to be a fixed rule with which they should be expect,d to comp!y. Again, another advan tage to a banking establishment from Oa° absence of their cl.rks is, that it furnishes an additional guarantee for their houesty. We have known instanc•s of frauds being carried on for several years by clerks who were enigma in their attendance, while a single day's at sence would necessarily have led to a detection of their dishonesty." This is from the general manager of the London and Westminster Batik, and it is but reasonable to suppose that the principles here laid down for the guidance of others are those acted upon in tho establishment under his control. However, be this as it may, from whatever motive the leave of absence is granted, the discovery of the recent frauds proves the correctness of the principle, and unfortunately every day's experience teaches us the necessity that txists for searching investigation ; and so far from its being a slur, as your correspondent consi ders it, it is the duty of every honest man not only to submit willingly to, but to court, investigation. I must apologise f. , r trespassing thus upon your valuable space, and am, Sir, /to., ANOTHER BANKER'S CLERK. Livcrpool, June 18. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—{This Day.)

HOUSE OF LORDS-APPEAL.: (Peers present—The Lord Chancellor, Lord P;rougham, Lord Cranworth, and other Peers.) MOWATT Y. BLAKE. This cause was appointed for bearing at 11 ''clock. The present appeal is brought against a decres of the Master of the Roll Q, dated sth April, 1856. The decree preceeds on the ground that the ri'spon dent (gr. Blake) was in the year 1853 induced by the appellant to take one thousand scrip Shares belonging to the appellant in the Portsmouth Railway Company, the appellant leading the respondent to belie►e that such shares were unallotted shares in the company, and that he the respondent was taking them to benefit the com pany, whereas these shares were alleged to be his: own private proprty. The capital of the company- w as 400,0001, divided into twenty thousand shares of twenty pounds each. Deposit two pounds two shillings par share. The Solicitor General, Sir Hugh M'Alrnont Cairns, appeared and opened the case of the appellant. Sir R. Bethel!, Q.C., f )flows on the same bide. Counsel for the respondents, Mr. Sslwyn, Q.C. It is possible the hearing of counsel will occupy the whole of the day. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Lord Ciiief Justice Cockburn, Mr. Justice Williams, and Sir C. Creswell.) ROBINSON V. ROBINSON AND LAZE. This was a petition for divorce from the husband against the wife, which stood over from last week fir the Court to consider whether Dr. Lane could be die missed from the suit and allowed to give evidence for the wife. Lord Campbell, Lord Chia Baron Pollock, Lord Chief Justice Cockburn, Mr. Justice Vaughan Williams, and Sir C. Cress well were of opinion that a defoodant could not be dismissed by the Court from the petition to be allowed to give eviderce, but an applica tion by a petitioner, on special grounds, allowed the Court to do so. Mr. Justice Wightman was of a contrary opinion. The co-re-pondent will not therefore be rennved from the suit during its progress. Dr. Poillimore was addressing the Court when our reporter left. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) 31ARLBOROUGH-STREET. A NOBLEMAN'S SERVANT IN AN AWKWARD PREDICA MENT.—Henry Loader, a respectably-dressed young man, and Jessy Wirn'ham, a proetittrs, were charged with being found in the enclosure of Berkeley-square for an unlawful purpose. A policeman proved seeing the accused in the enclo sure at a very late hour on the previous night, and as they bad no business there he took them into custody. On doing F o Loader said ha had his mistress's key, by means of which he bad got in. Mr. Beadon asked Loader where he lived. Loader said he lived at 42, Berkeley. square, and was servant t.) Lard Broughton. Mr. Braden told the officer to take the key to Lord Broughton, and tell him the circumstances under which it came into his Loader bogged his worship would not do that, as it would c.),t him his situation. Mr. Beadon said it was quite evident t h e purpose he waY there for. He would discharge them, but the of&• ccr should do as he had told him, STRALING PROVISIONS FROM A CLUS.—Ellen Leary, a decent.looking young woman, was charged with stud. ing several aricies of fond and also a cloth from the Stafford Club, Cliff ird-s!reet. The prisoner, it appeared, had been employed as a charwoman at the club, and as she was leaving she was observed to have a quantity of provisions with her, and was stopped. A person named Fitzpatrick attended on the part of the club, and Fnitl it vras the wish of the committee of the club, of which the floe. George Mustyn was a mem ber, that she thould be dealt leniently with. The prisoner had no right to take away the things, as they should have gone to the servants' table. Beadon, after a salutary caution, discharged the priEcner. BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS. Very few old potatoes aro on sale hero, :+nd so little is doing in them that prices are floe:dual. Now qualities are in request, at from Gs to 8s per cwt. Last week's im• ports were 1,446 baskets from Rotterdam. WOOL. We continue to bare a fair demand for most kinds of English wool, partly for export purposes, at rery full prices. I❑ foreign and colonial qualities next to nothing is doing, on former terms. Last week's imports were 154 bales from Port Natal, 123 from Cronstadt, 8.37 from Port Philip, and 501 from Port Beaufort. SEEDS. There has boen a fair demand for linseed, at full quota tions.

SPORTING NOTES. NEWCASTLE AND CHELMSFORD. Perhaps as promising a lot of 2-yr-olds as ever en tered the racing arena were seen at Stockbridge on Thursday last. Musjid came through his engagement with flying colours, and he is likely for some time to be heard of to advantage in the marker. He has a sweet action, and he seems altogether a " race horse." Sir Joseph Hawley is indeed a fortunate man, and, with his small private stud, he has monopolised all the good things of the turf season. Three stakes alone went to his share at Stock bridge. The defeat of Eclipse by Fitzßoland, and the wretched exhibition made by Sedbu►y, excited no little surprise, and people were puzzled to account fur the running of the Findon horses. Perhaps the true cause of Eclipse's defeat may be found in his inabil,ty to stay; and the only reasonable explanation which can be given of Sedbury's running is the fact of the horse's being ail to pieces. I am not satisfied with Fisherman's overthrow, and I am inclined to believe that he weed never have gone down before the lumbering Ignoramus if the pace had been stronger. Perhaps throughout the year turfites do not assist at n pleasanter meeting than that which was cele brated at Stockbridg e on Thursday last, for not only is the course most picturesquely situated, and the racing most interesting and important, but the hospitality which is dispensed by John Pay at Danebury, and Ihe cordial welcome which is extended to ali comers, render a trip to the locality doubly agreeable and an " event " to be remembered. Sporting men will have their time and attention fully occupied this week, for racing will take place "all over the country." Southern turfites will scarc.-ly care about the long and tedious journey to Newcastle, where, however, the principal rport would be quite good enough to draw them so far North if there were not mettle more attrac tive nearer home. The policy of limiting the meeting on the banks of the Tyne to three days admits of no question, for although it will deprive the miners of day's holiday it has materially improved the programme Five races will be decided each day, and they ire likely to be marked by incidents of more than au average importance. The Members' Plate has twenty nominations , , and Mar:let, Peto, and Meta seem the most attractive names. Of the trio my preference is for the three-year-olds. Should Lorgrange go to the post for the North Derby, he is not likely to meet an opponent formidable enough to make him strike hip colours. The Tyro Stakes will, perhaps, go to either Marseillai , e or Meg Merrilies, and the latter will, per haps, be the winner. For the Licensed Victuallers' Stake I shall select Evelyn and Gr:ffin. The field for the Northumberland Piate is not likely to be numerically strong. It will, perhaps, comprise Gunboat, Underhand, Mlinie, Herne, Hamlet, Ducrow, Pens over, Meta, Satinstone, Honeytree, and Con duc or. Of these the two top weights, Gun boat and Underhand, are of so decidedly su perior a class that, despite their heavy imposts, lam almost induced to trust them. If Gunboat be capable of staying I shall be fully prepared to see him carry his Bst 12lbs successfully over the two miles, Satinstone will perhaps be his most dangerous anta6o ni-t. The withdrawal of Hepatica from the Grand Stand Stakes has imparted quite an open character to that event. Marseiliaise and Meta are the animals most to my I;kit.g. For the Gold Cup my fancy points to Duneany and Hesperithusa. The Gateshead Nursery locks " o❑ paper" a good thing fur :).I.ll:eillaide. The Chelmsford Committee does not seem happy in their choice of offi .err. Within four years they have ap pointed three different clerks of courfev. Mr. J. F. Clark, the judge, bas now been entrusted with the ma nagement of affairs in that locsity, and it is to be h:,ped that his tfforts to advance the popularity of the wee ing will be more appreciated by the I seal authorities than were those of his predeccsiors. The meeting promises to be most successful, and ehon!ci the present fine weather continue a larger assemblage ;han ever will be witnessed on Galley wood Common. The County Plate may be a triumph for the American cJlourg, and Mr. Ten Brocck may secure it with his recent English purchase, Badsworth. The Wil'rr Cup ought to be won by Theory. The American mare Prioress is Luiently weighted fir the Cntlureford Handicap, and if she sere to matt I should be induced to place faith if, the stripes. In her absence, however, either Barbarity or York may pull through. The race for the Great Baddlw States will be a " nice point," Artist and Z.tel'a, and taking into con sideration the difference in the weight and tiro severe li,ll at the finish, I shalt expect the Hampton runnirg to be reversed. Birderer mu carry off the Cup, and School fellow ought not to be over-tasked to win the Town Hate. A FRESH MAN. NEWCASTLE -SUNDAY AFTERNOON.

On Saturday night a fire br .1:e out at Limehouse, winch for magnitude and destruction e f vuluable pro perty has not been equalled by any conflagration in the metropolis eirce that which destroyed Pickford's ware houses at the Camden station of the London and North- Western Railway. The fire breke out on the premises known to every traveller on the Rack wall lino as the life-boat manufac tory of Messrs. Forrest and Co., situ ere between the Stepney and Lituehowe stations of the railway. Tnese premises consisted of a series cf lofty timber buildings, resting upon brick walls and piers, and rising consider ably above the level c f the line of the Black wall Railway, and on each ride of the line. The area covered by the burning mass is estimated at four acres in ex.ect. They were le mnded on the east by the oak timber-prd of Messrs. Dixon and Co., which extended to the grounds of Liniebiuso Church, on the south by the cut which leads from the Thames t the entrance to the Lea River, on the north by the Commercial-road, and on the we t by a street runnicc down to the creek or cut before mentioned, called Mill-place. About 10 o'clock the alarm of fire was given, when flames were observed rushing out of a small house called the beat-house, in which a man who had charge of the premises resided, and who is stated to have been pulled out of one of the windows by Mr. J. Pitchford, of the Island Lead Works, which is reached by a bridge at the southwestern end of Messrs. Forrest's premises, cross ing the River Lea Cut. No sooner had he Elleed ded in doing so than this part of the premises became a mass of flames. The fire continued to extend in a north easterly direction till it reached the timber yard of Mr. Dixon, in which there were immense stacks of oak timber of great value, and Messrs. Dalton's mast and sail yard, the whole of which, in consequence of the combustible nature of the materials, were speedily in volved in flames. By 11 o'clock the fire had e x:ended, despite the efforts of the servants of the company, to the northern side of the Bleckwall Railway, and the flames shot up on either side of the arches and line, and the light was so gnat that it was seen fur a distance of many miles. The engines of the brigade arrived in rapid yucca , con, but in consequence of the immense extent of the burning mass, the efforts to reduce the fury of the fire were of little avail. Tne view of the immense area of the fire from Lea River Creek was grand in the extreme, but the heat was so intense that even the firemen had great difficulty in approaching near the burning t ease. Flow this point could be seen the eight or ten arches of the railway apparently in the midst of thefts, with the bricks of the but resses nearly red hot. The tower of Limehonse Church formed the background, and altogether the scene was one of terrific grandeur. it is needless to sa y t h a t ircm the outbreak the trains on the rail e ay were stopped. The whole of Messre. Forrest's workmen left the pre cliBeFle as is usual on Saturdays, at 5 o'clock, and at this period of the year there is no gas burning or fires lighted on the premises. Trio loss is estimated at something like 100,0001., end it is s tated that Alts:r. M . Fcrrest and e Dalton ate insured, but to what extent has not trans pired. ' Another fire broke out while the above was raging, in the Back-road, St. Georges-in-the-East, aud as many en gines as could be srared were drauglated to that spot.

LITERATURE. The, Oxonian in Thelemarken. By the Rev. T Metcalfe, M.A., author of " The Oxonian i Norway." 2 vols. Hurst and Blackett._ IMost readers of the intelligent records of Mr Metcalfe's former travels will be gratified to see • new work from his pen, although the subject ii tin same. Encouraged by the favourable reception of "The Oxouian in Norway," the author has detor• mined to give the public the experience of his late/ trip, But though Norway is again the object of his journey, the reader need not anticipate being taken over the same track. Thelemarken 'and Saetersdal are new to the traveller as well itA the reader. It is the most primiti ve part of Norway, and the author, mixing freely amon g th e c ountry folks, has imbibed the spirit of their old legendary lore and simple rustic existence. His first intro duction to the coast is thus described : "As far as I can judge at this distance, instead of the coast forming one sober businesslike line of denier cation, with no nonsense about it, showing exactly the limits of lacd and ocean, as in other countries, here it is quite impo ss ibl e t o say w h ere water ends and land be. gins. It is neith er fi s h nor foe.l. Th ose l ore, bar. gneiss-rocke, for instaece, tumbled, as it were, i n to a lot of billows. One would almost think they had got a footirg among the waves by putting on the shape and aspect of water. Well, if you scan them accurately you find they are unmistakeably bi's of islands. But as we aptroach nearer, look further inland to those low hills covered with p;ne trees, which eornehow or other have managed to wax and pick np a livelihood in the clefts and crannies of the rocks, or sometimes even on the bare scarp , . While ever and anon a bald-topped rock protruding from the dark green masses stande like a solitary Friar of Orders Grey, with his welt-shaven tonsure, amid a creed of black•cowled Dominican,. "'Surely that,' y o u'll say, `is the coast line proper I' " ' Wron g ;ga i n , s i r. It i s a ca s e o f w h ee l s wit h in wheels; or, to be plain, islands within islands. Behind those w oo d e d h e i g h ts t h ere are all until of labyrinths of salt water, some ending in a cul-de-sac, others coming out, when you least expect it, into the open sea again, and forming an inland passage for many miles. It that myth about King Caeute bidding the waves not come any further, had been told of this country, there would have been some ter;Bo in it, and he might have appeared to play the wave-compeller to some purpose. For really, in some places, it is only by a nice examination one can say how far the sea's rule does extend.' The whole of the c)ast is like this, except between the Naze and Stavarger, rising at times, as up the West Coat, into magnificent orecipices, but still beaded with islands from the size cf a pipe of port to that of an English county. Hence there arc to ways of saili ng along the coast, ' indenehf i xes,' i.e, within the 'sherries ,' and ' udenalijmrs,' or outside of the ' eker r ie e , i e., i n the open see. The inner route has born followed by coasters from the days of the Vikings." The freshness and originality of the style and matter give something of the same refreshment to the reader wearied with ascents of Mont Blare, excursions up the Rhine, and oven satiated with the descriptions of transatlantic forests and eastern deserts, that he himself felt iu mixing with the wild and uncultivated Norwegians, and hearing the old Scandinavian songs. In treating of the national language the mittr traces a striking re semblance between our own tongue and the old Norsk : "Arne has read Snorro's Chronicle, which he borrowed (rum the parson. Ivar Aasen, the author cf several works on the old Norslz language, has been more than cue) up here examining into the dialect. Those it. terested in the sources of the English language, and in ascertaining how much of it is dui to the old Norsk, have ample room for amusement and instruction here. Many English words unknown in the mr.dern Norwegian, aro to b,,. found in use in these secluded parts, though driven Iron the rest of the cr , untry, ju-t in the same R ay as the Norsk language was talked at Bayesux- a toig limn after it had beconv. , obsolete at, R',uen arid other parts of Normandy. Our " noau" reappears in " fiord ;" "game," in "gams," a word not known away from this. " prate„' is " Frata ; "to die," is "dor ;" " two," is " t, i," not '• to," as eh-ewl ere ; ine'eed, all ~ he numerals Jiff r f•oin V.n.se used elsewhere.

Ast eking is " rock," not " ripe ;eg edge ; ,kale safe or cupboard ; " kvik" coreeT .no's in all Ira meanings. to our wsrd "quick." The old lerlandic "gilds" is seed as an E u 'cgi:lic epithet, exothnt. To, it word for " wheel" sounds like our English, and is not "stile," as elsewhere ; " stuhlis" is our "stub," or little bit ; " I" lri " oi," not " leg ;" " fir" is pronounced fir ;" " spon" Las bet n alre: dy mentioned : " suer ," " mile," "cross," it-occur here, wherea: , elsewhere they differ from the English." The old. Scandinavian h - gendary lore occupies a considerable portion of the work, which few read ers, we should imagine, would be inclined to regret, the character of the people, and the mode of country life, ht ing the chief o' jests of the work. Tie pea-ante' steti cud conv:Tsation., and little country sketch. s, are more prominent in the work than the descriptions of country or any mere com mon travele , s' ta'es. The b2ar hunts, the doings of the go d to.lks, and similar records, otter as much name ion to the reader who seeks lisiht and plea sant reading as to tl.e mere curious seeker ftr inf)rmation. Tutsc wid be interested in the Account of the sifter mines at Kouigsberg, and of which an int.frenting description is given. We heartily commend these volumes to all who seek acquaintance with the wild and fresh variety of Scandinavian life and literature, with the solemn Dine forests, the rocky coasts and mountain soli tudes, the earth lips, the wwerfalls, the old Norsk entelle song, the sitnple country folks, the stout bordeters, and the sl epy quiet descendants of the stormy Vikings. Those who Lave perused his former work will probably be ready to extend their acquaintance with the Northmen, and they need not fear monotony or tediousness in so doing. The anecdotes, quotation., and incidents would be suf ficient to enliven a dull volume, and whore the w h o l e s tyle and el.:tractor of the work is so fresh and animated tie result canm,t be otherwise than satisfcctory to the reader and creditable to the writer. The heirs of Cheveleigh. By Gervase Abbott. 3 vole. Longman. This story presents powerf u l a ' t rac ti on s f or t h ose who delight in the mysterious and romantic. Tire plot is exceedingly complicated, the adventures' of the heroine are replete with peril and perplexity of no ordinary kind, and the latter part of the narrA tive is especially 'painful from the peculiar style of the dangers that euviron the unfortunate Lucy. Butler, who is the most prominent person in the tale, is described with consummate ski:l, as a crafty man, devoid of principle and destitute'of feeling, alive to no object but his own interest, and cap ' able of no thought that did not centre in self. Mrs. Alsehurst, the mother of Lucy, was a weak woman, although anxious to play a distinguished part in the world ; in an evil Lour *for h erse lf, and all connected with her, she chose Butler for a confederate, or risistaut to carry out her schemes, which had for their aim and object to establish herself permanently at Cheveleigh. Owing to some misunderstanding about the will who first without reserve, that buthe r ahusband'sndsettlenapernotpse,rty shewhaad hersse it subsequently transpired that such was not the case, she was only to be •in authority during her children's minority. She was greatly disappointed at this turn of affairs, and consulted Mr. Butler as to what she could do to retain the power. Unfor tunately for her independence, she had plunged deeply into debt while under the impres sion that the estates were her own. This gave Butler an ascendancy over her, of which he was not slow to take advantage. The desperate plans which were subsequently arranged between them, create a powerful and exciting interest in the story, although they are of a painful nature. However, those who do not appreciate this class will acknowledge the considerable talent that is manifested throughout. The doubts and fears that continually beget the mind of Butler are vividly depicted, and it is shown bow, in the midst of his cherished plans, a tracking fear prevailed, lest by some chance a change, a discovery of his villany should be wade, and he be overwhelmed with con fusion end disgrace. From such a fate he was saved by an awful doom. He had hoped and trusted to keep his deeds of darkness concealed f ro m man, and he succeeded, but where no human eye beheld, and where no human footstep pene trated, he pas,ed away from this life in a fearful manner. It is pleasing to find the gentle and long suffering Lucy restored at last to friends and hap aud, with this bright vista of futurity be fore her, the reader takes leave of a narrative which is immersed in gloom, and whose attendant spirits seem crime and misery.
