JIONEI ' MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocK. During ti to last few days there has been very little busines s in the market for foreign and colo nial produce. In tea the dealings by private con tract have be en particularly limited, as parties are waiting the arrival of the Overland Mail. A large quantity, however, is announced for pub lic sale dui ing the present week, and prices are expectei I to rule rather higher. Sugar has been in ver y limited demand, the trade gene rally exhibit ing little disposition to buy at present rates.. The stocks, however, show little alteration cot! 'pared with those of the same period last year. TI to quantity held in London on the 16th October c if British Plantation was 39,228 tons against 38,642 , tons at the same date of 1857, while of Foreign it - was 35,579 tons against 23,828 tons in 1857, the lc ‘tal being 74,607 tons in 1858, and 6 2,470 tons v t 1857, showing an increase of 12,157 tons. Coffee has been very quiet, but prices It Ave been steady. Rice has been almost neglected, the few dealings reported being merely for exportation, and at a slight reductio .n on former rates. In fruit the transactions ha ye been on a very moderate scale, the large arriv •als both in London and Liverpool havin g in som e measure depressed the market. For saltpetre VI iere has been a moderate inquiry for the better d escriptions, but, in most instances, at lower quota tions. The public sales of indigo were brought ; to a termination yesterday. Of the quantil ty brought forward, it is estimated that about 6,72 6 chests have been sold, 5,996 bought in, and 3,121 cl tests withdrawn. About 4,500 chests were, taken for exportation. Good and fine quali ties of Bengal sold at a decline of about 3d. to 6d. Middling and ordinary at par. Madras at an ad vance of 3d., ar td Kurpahs 3d. to 9d. per lb., com pared with the rates current at the last July sales. Tallow has bee 11 flat, and prices in all positions show a declinii rig tendency. Letters front Liverpool report that the Cotton Market, yeste: rd#, closed' heavily, and prices tended downwards. The sales amounted to 6,000 bales. In the R ailway Share Market only a limited business was tr ansacted, although prices were fully Maintained. Some anxiety is evinced, especially at the Stock Exchange, to I ascertain the movement of the ex changes during the next fortnight, because the recent decline or id the increased demand for specie in Germany has created an impression that a large quantity of gad may be withdrawn from this a ide- This opinion, however, is not generally entertained by tlaose acquainted with the state of tr ade ; and, alth( ugh rem i ttances may be forwarded f or special purposes, no long sustained efflux may be apprehended. Meanwhile moderate supplies are coming in from America, and at least three quarters of a million sterling will be shortly re ceived from Australia. There was rather more inquiry for discount ac commodation yesterday, but the market still retains a quiet and and. plethoric appearance. for e Ripon, which sails to-day, takes out £20,650 Bombay. There i s a moderate demand for silver, and ba rs continue firm at ss. lid. id, per oz. standard. The committee of the Stock Exchange have ap p o inted Thupsday, the" 28th inst., as a s p ec i a l settling day in the shares of the North Rhine _Copper Mi n i ng Company, and transactions are to be recorded in the official lists. Bargains are also t ° be officially mrtrked in the shares of the Victoria Station and Pimlico Railway Co. At the meeting of the West London Railway Company, to-day, a report was presented, stating the committee had recommended that the pro- Perty should not be sold at present, but agreed to the payment of ss. per share, as proposed, on the first-class preference shares. It was resolved that the committee should remain in office until the next half -yearly meeting. There was a meeting of the Penden Consols Mining Company to-day, at which the accounts Showed a balance in favour of the mine of £lO5, 88 - 9 d. A call of 2s. per share was made. The English Stock Market continues in a very inactive state, but the quotations are well main tained. Speculation is temporarily suspended, and f ew Purchases for investment are reported. Many of the operators are now waiting to see how the exchanges will be quoted this afternoon, and the Inovement, whatever it may be, will no doubt exert nonce influence upon quotations.

OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) CARD SHARPING. William Thomas, a respectably dressed man, aged 45, was indicted for obtaining, by false and fraudulent pre tences, a gold watch and chain from William North. The prisoner was also indicted for conspiracy. Mr. Ribton appeared for the prosecution, and Mr. Met calfe defended the prisoner. Mr. Ribton, in addressing the jury, said the prisoner was indicted under the provisions of 8 and 9 Vic., cap. 109, sec. 17. The prosecutor was a gentleman residing at Cardiff, and while visiting London he took a trip to Woolwich on board one of the steamboats, when he was accosted by a man on board the boat, and a lively conversation ensued. The result was Mr. North was invited to partake of a glass of ale, and for this purpose on leaving the boat they both went to the Pier Hotel. When there the prisoner followed by another man entered, and cards were produced and shuffled. Three cards were produced, two black and one red. The feat was to discover the red card after the three had been shuffled. The prosecutor was induced to stake his watch for a bet of ten pounds, which, it was needless to say, was lost, and from various circumstances that occurred he believed he had been the victim of a conspiracy, in which the prisoner had taken part. The following witnesses were then called Mr. Augustus North said—l am a brewer residing at Cardiff, and in July last I was in London. I went from thence to Woolwich on board the steamboat, where I met a person to whom I spoke. After we had been in conversa tion for some time, he asked me to have some ale. I even- tually went with him to the Pier Hotel, and we had some ale. After we had been there a short time the prisoner and another man came in and began talk about a ring, which they wanted me to purchase. I said I did not want it, and then the cards were introduced, and they began to bet about finding the red card. I told one of the men in the room I knew where the red card was, and they said to me, " Why don't you bet ?" I said, " I have left my purse in London," and they then said, " Why don't you stake your watch ?" I closely observed the cards, and feeling confident I knew which was the red card I staked my watch as a security for a bet of £lO. I turned up the card, and instead of the red card it turned out to be a black one. The watch was taken up, and after some arrangement it passed into the prisoner's possession, who told me if I came to his residence, in High-street, Paddington, and gave him £2 I could have the watch, and he would rely upon my honour for receiving the remaining £8 when I returned to Cardiff. I went to my uncle's— (laughter)—immediately after I lost my watch, and after that I went to the place mentioned by the prisoner with the £2, but I could not find him. I have no doubt, while I was taking off my watch the cards were changed. I value my watch at £l5, and the chain at £3 10s. Mr. Metcalfe—What should you have done with the £lO note, supposing you had turned up the red instead of the black card ? Would you not have picked up both it and your watch, and put them in your pocket ? Prosecutor—Yes, no doubt I should. (Laughter.) The Recorder—As I said before, we must have some proof that the game was unfair. At present there is not the slightest. The prosecutor makes the bet, thinking he had the advantage, as he had seen the cards. Mr. Ribton—The cards were changed. The Recorder—There is no evidence of that. We may all of us have our suspicions, but you must produce evi dence. The prosecutor thought' he had chosen the right card, but it turned out he was mistaken. If people will be so foolish as to bet under such circumstances, they must put up with the consequences. _ - The jury, without hearing the counsel for the prisoner, returned a verdict of Not Guilty. The prisoner was then again indicted, charged with ob taining money by false pretences, and also with conspiracy. Thomas Haywood said—l live at Leicester, and am an engineer in the Royal Navy. On the 26th of August I met a man on board of one of the Woolwich boats who entered into conversation with me. On our arrival at Woolwich we, at his suggestion, went to the Pier Hotel. We had some ale, and in a short time after the prisoner and another man came in. A conversation then arose respecting some rings, but the cards were introduced, and he asked me if I would have a cut at the cards. The prisoner and the card man began cutting the cards for a ring. The game was changed, and three cards were introduced. I was then asked to bet. The person I met on board the boat pressed me to bet. I never had a chance of winning. (Laughter.) The prisoner asked me to play. We began betting 55., and i the bets rose to £5. I continued playing until I had lost £l5. I then said I should go and fetch a policeman, as I believed there had been cheating. The prisoner said he would go with me. We went as far as the pier and were unable - to find a constable. The prisoner, while we were waiting on the pier, said, "There's a policeman," and run away, but the constable broughthim back. When we re turned to the public-house, the other two men had gone. Mr. Metcalfe—Supposing you had won, you would have put the money in your pocket, and said nothing about it ? Witness—l suppose I should ; but I never had the chance ? (Laughter.) Mr. Metcalfe—Two black and one red suit cards were placed on the table, and you thought your eyes were quick enough to watch the red one. You then bet and turn up the card you imagine to be the red, and it turns out to be the black one. Witness—Yes ; but I believe the card I wanted vanished before I had the chance of picking it up. (Laughter.) The Recorder—Did you see what became of the remain der of the pack "Witness—After the three cards were selected I never saw the pack again. The Recorder—Were the remaining two cards turned up after you had made your choice to show you that the red one was there ? Witness—No, never. The other cards were never shown to me. The Recorder—Never turned up ? Witness—Never. They were taken up and shuffled again. The Recorder—How many times did you bet ? Witness—About ten or a dozen times. Mr. Ribton—How many times did you Win ? Witness—Not once. William Wilkinson, a police-constable, said—l took the prisoner into custody on the 26th August. I asked him if he had been playing at cards, but he said ,4 No." The prosecutor identified him as the man. The watch that be longed to Mr. North was found upon him. Mr. Netcalfe—Said there was no evidence of conspiracy. The Recorder—l think there is. I don't say how much, but I think there is enough to go to the jury. Mr. Metcalfe then addressed the jury on the part of the prisoner, and contended that no case of fraud had been proved against the prisoner ; the evidence showed that the prosecutor had been deceived by slight of hand. The Recorder, in summing up the evidence, dwelt strongly upon the circumstance that the three cards were never once turned up to prove that the red one was amongst them. If such had been the case, it was not too much to expect that when the police were threatened to be sent for, as there was reason to believe that cheating had been going on, the prosecutor would have been shown the cards to convince him the red card was there, and that he had made a blunder in not discovering it. The jury found the prisoner guilty of conspiracy. The Recorder asked if the prisoner was known. A City police-constable said he knew the poisoner as a card-sharper. He, in company with three others, were constantly to be seen i n th e ne i ghbourhood of Tower-hill. Mr. Metcalfe—l have just been informed, my lord, that so far from the trick being one of fraud, and impossible of being honestly performed, there is a person in court who can go through the performance, if the jury wish it. (Laughter.) The man was not required to perform the trick. The Recorder, in passing sentence, said he had no doubt the prisoner had for a long time been carrying on his dis honest practices; he should therefore sentence him to 18 months' imprisonment with hard labour.; Mr. Ribton—l suppose, mj , lord, Mr. North can have his watch and chain ? The Recorder—l have no power to make such an order. remains with the police. There is no doubt about its being the property of Mr. North. I don't object to the police retaining it for the present, as they know what to do with it. NEW COURT. (Before the Common Sergeant.) PASSING COUNTERFEIT COIN. Two boys named Wiliam Cork and William Thomas Duff were indicted for uttering a counterfeit half-crown with intent to defraud, &c. Mr. Barber said he kept the Dover Castle, in the Broad way, Deptford. About a month ago the two boys came in front of the bar and asked for a pint of porter, for which they tendered a half-crown. Upon putting the coin into the detector it was discovered to be bad, and the boys were told so. Duff said he didn't know that it was bad, and gave a good shilling in payment for the porter, but from subse quent circumstances both prisoners were taken to the station-house. Duff said he had no more money, and Cork said the same, but upon searching th em a number good sixpences were found. Upon takin g o ff C ork ' s trou sers, a counterfeit half-crown dropped from underneath his shirt, wrapped up in paper. He attempted to conceal it with his foot, but was unable to do so, before th e cons t a bl e picked it up. The jury found both prisoners guilty, and the Common Serjeant sentenced them to nine months' imprisonment, with hard labour. Mary earthy, 30, was indicted for uttering counterfeit coin, well knowing the same to be counterfeit. Mr. Hagger, a licensed victualler , said—On the 18th of September the prisoner came into my house and asked for some porter, for which she tendered a bad shilling. She was told the coin was bad, and as she said she had no more money she left the house. The money-taker of the New-cross Railway Station proved that the prisoner also attempted to pass a bad shil ling there in payment of her fare to London. Mr. King, the station-master, said he happened to know that the prisoner had attempted to pass bad money, and he gave her into custody. On her being taken to the Green wieb, Police-604A the bad tenclead at the atation was laid on the clerk's desk for an instant, when the prisoner caught it up and swallowed it. The female searcher at the police-station produced five counterfeit shillings, which she picked up just where the prisoner had been standing. The prisoner had a child with her, upon whom was found eleven shillings in good money. The five bad shillings had been carefully wrapped up to keep them from rubbing against each other. Mr. Webster, of the Royal Mint, said three of the coun terfeit shillings were from one mould, and two from another. The prisoner positively denied she ever had any counter feit money in her possession. The jury found her guilty, and the Common Sergeant sentenced her to 12 months' imprisonment, with hard labour. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. —(This Day), M ARLBOROUGH -STREET. CHARGE OF MANSLAITGIITER. AGAINST A COACHMAN. —William Brown, a coachman, residing at 22, Davie's mews, Berkeley-square, was charged before Mr. Beadon with causing the death of Robert Bridge Langham by striking him on the head with a setter (an implement used to elevate the wheels of carriages) on the 19th inst. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the prisoner. From the evidence of Sarah Longhorn, the wife of de ceased, a stableman employed in Davie's-mews, it ap peared that some words :had ensued between the, prisoner and her husband, owing to the prisoner's having made a complaint against her husband to his master. On the morning of Tuesday, the 10th instant, she was looking out of an upper door of one of the houses, and heard her husband say he wanted some of his master's work, to which the prisoner replied, " Oh, that's your game, it is," and then went and drew the iron pin from the setter, followed her husband into the coachhouse, and then struck him on the forehead a violent blow, which caused him on his coining out to lean against a carriage and the blood to flow profusely from the wound. He was then taken by her to a surgeon, and, getting gradually worse, at length went to St. Georges's Hospital, where he died on the previous day. The witness was subjected to a long cross-examination by Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, with the view of showing that the deceased had struck the first blow, but this she denied. Elizabeth Ann Miller, sister-in-law of the deceased, said she saw the prisoner follow the deceased into the coach house with the pin in his hand, and afterwards he came out bleeding profusely from a wound in the head. _ _ By Mr. Lewis—Her brother-in-law, the deceased, had said to the prisoner, he " Would not mind spoiling the look of his ugly face," before the prisoner struck him. She did not hear the deceased challenge the prisoner to fight him. Sergeant Silverton, 293 A, said the surgeon was not present, and he therefore wished for a remand. Mr. Lewis said he should call several witnesses, some of whom would throw quite a different complexion on the case. But he should now merely call one. Mary Donthitt said she heard the prisoner and deceased previous to this affair aggravating one another, and heard the prisoner say the deceased had grazed his carriage wheel, to which the deceased replied, " I know I did, and you must be a nice - to tell my master." After some further evidence the prisoner was remanded. NEWMARKET RACES. (THIS DAY.) (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) CAMBRIDGESHIRE STAKES. EURYDICE 1 Thirty-four ran. £5O PLATE, FOR ALL AGES.

SCULLERS' RACE FOR £60.--An interesting scullers' race, although all one way, came off yesterday between George Wade, a waterman, of Stone-stairs, Ratcliff, and Walter Bell, of Richmond, also a waterman. The race was £3O a side ; the distance from Putney to Mortlake. Bell has only won one race, and his opponent has rowed several. Bell was the favourite at about 5 to 4, 6 to 4 being given in some instances. The champion of the Thames (Henry Kelly, of Fulham) was chosen referee ; and "Wade, having won the toss, went over to Middlesex. The start was even, and they continued level for 100 yards, when Bell, who seemed to be a most powerful fellow, went into the first place, and kept the lead all the way ; but the race was well contested throughout, and Wade, although astern, rowed better than he ever did before. Bell ultimately won by 25 seconds. The race was rowed under 25 minutes. SCULLERS' RACE FOR £4s.—Another waterman's scul lers' race took place yesterday, the competitors being Frederick Lett, a man of about 40, and George Driver, some years younger—the former of Lambeth, and the latter of Wandsworth, who was freely backed at 6 and 7 to 4, and won the toss. George Drewitt, of Chelsea, was chosen re feree, when Driver took the start, and, after rowing a short distance ahead of his opponent for a mile, gradually got away, and Lett was beaten by 100 yards. The distance was from Putney to Barnes Railway-bridge. LANDSMEN'S SCULLERS RACE.—To wind up yesterday's races, a sculling contest came off between Henry Brown and Thomas Chapman, both landsmen, of Lambeth. They rowed for £lO a side from Putney to Barnes, and Brown was slightly the favourite. James Finnis, of the Tower, was referee. Brown won the toss, and profiting by it, rowed ahead at once, keeping his lead 100 yards. After this he caught a crab and his opponent was by him in an instant, but Brown soon recovered himself, and they rowed a desperate race for upwards of half a mile, when Brown was again ahead, and continued to lead all the way, but the race was so close that there was never much more than two lengths between them, and Brown eventually won by three lengths. All the races were very numerously attended by friends of the parties. THIS LAY'S MARKETS. HAY MARKETS.

By Alfred Austin. 2 vols. Hope. These volumes will afford amusement in their perusal. There is a great variety met with in their contents, and the different incidents recorded display a considerable knowledge of life. Edgar Huntingdon, the hero, is an excellent character ; firm and self-reliant in difficulties, but ever r ea dy to sympathise with others, and eager to render assistance to the unfortunate. He presents a striking contrast to his friend Cooper, who is weak and vacillating, and who sinks under trouble in stead of rousing his energies to meet it. His fate is a most melancholy one. Some of the scenes are very cleverly sketched ; as, for instance, the one where Bingham leads in Miss Fairfort to denounce Edgar, and in turn is discomfited himself. The very evidence he was going to bring against his enemy furnished overwhelming proofs of his own guilt. Annette Fairfort is a pleasing portrait. She does not appear much, but what is seen of her exhibits firmness and prudence that is not often to be found in girls brought up and influenced as she was. Lord Fairfort is ably described as an imper sonation of family pride carried to an absurd degree. There are passages of considerable inte rest met with in the records of the adventures of some persons introduced in the story, to whom Edgar Huntingdon was of signal service. With out possessing any striking merits, this novel may rank above the common, and the high principles advocated in its pages render it deserving of regard. The Secret of a Lffe. By M. M. Bell, author of " Deeds not Words," &c. Routledge. There is a great amount of ability apparent in this work ; and, although some parts of the story can certainly be called extravagant, there is a degree of fascination in its description that carries the reader irresistibly along to the conclusion. The heroine, Ellen Egerton, is a charming character. Had she been fortunate in her family and friends, had she been better influenced, she might have at tained to an exalted standard of excellence. In her disposition there were the germs of pure and noble qualities. She was remarkably unfortunate in the circumstances that attended her return to her father's house, after an absence of many years. Her father was a very peculiar ma n , no t at all cal culated to be of service to her ; her stepmother was kind to her, but she was a very vain, foolish woman, intent on forwarding the pet schemes she delighted in concocting. Reginald Stanhope, the hero, is not at all an estimable character. He was weak, un stable, and irresolute. For the sake of expediency, and to avoid the occurrence of awkward events, he submitted to the most flagrant injustice that could have been devised. One cannot fail to feel regret at the cruel sufferings that the gentle Ellen under went; but the same sympathy cannot extend to Stanhope, for he made no effort to free himself from the snares into which malice had entrapped him. No man of spirit, or of a right sense of honour, would have tamely submitted to such an outrage. The only paint in which Ellen erred was in con senting to the hasty marriage with Reginald Stanhope. She acted against her conscience in agreeing, and the regret that awaits such actions was indeed swift in overtaking her with its aveng ing footsteps. The authoress has displayed con siderable insight into the passions and prejudices of mankind ; and in recording some of those scenes of anguish which call forth the deepest and strongest feelings of human nature, she may be said to be very successful. Heraldry in History, Poetry, and Romance. By Ellen J. Millington. Chapman and Hall. This is a somewhat novel field for a lady to enter upon ; but the authoress has acquitted herself with credit. It is not everyone who cares to devote much time to the study of heraldry, and there are fewer still, we suspect, who would elevate it to the lofty position claimed for it by its present chroni cler, but the authoress has contrived to mingle quo tation, reference, and anecdote in such pleasant variety that many might find entertainment in turning over her pages. The accounts of the diffe rent ceremonies of installation, the historical re cords of the orders, the circumstances of their in stitution, and the many allusions to old songs or legends are full of interest. Sir Walter Scott's readers will, as Miss Millington observes, be better able to appreciate the influence of heraldry in the middle ages than others. In Quentin Durward, Rouge-Sanglier, and his associates, occupy a pro minent position, and the description of " Sir David Lindesay, of the Mount, Lord Lyon King-at-Arms," in Marmion, is so appropriate to the present volume, that the passage is quoted at length. The following extract from the preface sets forth the claims of heraldry for useful purposes :—" Heraldry was originally, and it ought again to be, identified with deeds great, because good, and with distinctions going before to judgment' as heralds, and ' mani fest before hand' as preludes of the final victory and the eternal reward. Still, while recognising, in the first place, the high religious and moral sig• nificance of heraldry, it must not be forgotten,— and this, in our practical age, will perhaps be one of its surest claims to respect,--teat, viewed in connection with history, it is of infinite value and importance, and ; has been found use ful in elucidating points of law, and deciding genealogical questions, while, as an emi nent American writer has observed, coats-of-arms and mottos often illustrate, and even afford a clue to national character." The author has evidently bestowed much time and labour on the compilation of her work, and if so obsolete a science seems scarcely worth the trouble at the present day, it will be undoubtedly a useful guide to antiquarians, and all who wish to prosecute inquiries among the genealogical or traditionary legends of the middle ages. Photographic Portraits of Living Celebrities. Maull and Polyblank. We have before had occasion to notice this ad mirable series of photographs, which include many of the most eminent names of the present day. The skilful arrangement of light and shade throws out the figure with unusual distinctness, and though, of course, they are more or less successful, they generally give the impression of being correct like nesses. Among those recently published are Mr. Gladstone, Sterndale Bennett, Dr. Livingstone, and Daniel Maelise. One of the recommendations of this gallery of portraits is its comprehensiveness. It includes men distinguished in every grade of life, men of science, mechanicians, authors, musicians, painters, soldiers, lawyers, statesmen, actors, re formers; and if it proceeds with the same ability and success it will be the best national portrait gallery ever offered to the public. Quicksands. A Tale, by Anna Lisle, author of " Self and Self-Sacrifice," &c. Groombridge. Miss Lisle has already won the approbation of the public by some pleasing domestic stories, and the present work shows considerable promise. She will doubtless become one of those skilful delinea tors of home scenes and characters whose pictures are often more welcome than a startling tragedy or mournful romance. The plot is novel, and, if not very probable, displays considerable ingenuity. The characters are al s o we ll d rawn an d strongly marked. Helen Grey, the heroine, is by no means a faultless piece of perfection ; indeed she is rather in the other extreme. She has many good quali ties, but her mother's influence over her is most pernicious. One of her most dangerous failings, which has been carefully encouraged by Mrs. Grey, is an excessive love for finery and show of every kind. Mrs. Grey and Helen are constantly endea vouring to keep up an appearance quite inconsis tent with their position. Great is Mrs. Grey's satisfaction when Helen is engaged to John Howard, the only son of a wealthy lady in the neighbour hood, and the brother of Helen' s early playfellow. Mrs. Howard is a very superior woman, and has endeavoured to counteract the evil effects of Helen's education. Unhappily, an old friend of Mrs. Grey's appears on the scene, and insists on the mother and daughter paying her a visit at her country house. Helen ag r e e s reluctantly. The month's visit lengthens into two, and by the time she returns she has deserted John Howard, and engaged her self to Mrs. Huntingdon's son, Arthur. Mrs. Hunt ingdon, for reasons of her own, has forwarded the marriage in every possible way, aided by M rs. Grey, whose bead is turned by the grandeur of the establishment. After her marriage , however, Helen discovers that all is not gold that glitters, and a f ew years mournful exp erience convince her that her husband is a madman. The reasons that influenced Mrs. Huntingdon, and the subsequent fate of Helen, we will leave the reader to ascertain. The plot is well calculated to display the different characters. The way in which Helen's jealousy and love of display are made such a temptation to her is very ingenious. John Howard engages much of the reader's interest, though hg, is occasionally unreasonable. The unfortunate 31r. Huntingdon is ably drawn, and there are many minor characters introduced. One of the most successful of these is Marty, the rustic servant. The high anoral tone of the book is much to be commended, but we would suggest to the authoress a little more care in intro ducing sacred subjects. Anything that looks like "preaching" immediately fails of its effect, and Helen's career would teach its own lesson with very little addition. An occasional abruptness- in the style, too, might be softened with advantage ; but we have no doubt that, with time and pi a-:tice, the authoress will take a high rank among domestic novel writers; BANK RETURNS, An Account, pursuant to the Act 7th and Bth Victoria, cap. 32, of the Average Amount of Bank Notes, of the several Banks of Issue in England and Wales, in circu lation during the week ending Saturday, the 9th day of October, 1858.
