MONEY MARKET A.LVD CITY NE U'S. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. From most of the manufacturing districts the accounts continue satisfactory. Considerable ac tivity has prevailed in the woollen cloth trade, at Leda, during the past week, and the operatives are well employed. In the various cloth halls there Was a good attendance of buyers, and prices were fully sustained. At Bradford only a limited busi ness has been done in piece goods, but there has been an active enquiry for light spring fabrics. The hosiery trade, at Leicester, has con tinued exceedingly brisk, there being a large number of orders in the market not yet completed. Business at Manchester has shewn little variation of importance; rather more activity has been ex perienced for the 'home demand, and some large contract' for India goods have been entered into. A healthy tone has pervaded all departments of business at Birmingham, and the mills and forges in the districts are mostly in full operation. At Sheffield and Wolverhampton considerable activity has been experienced in most branches of business. The Liverpool Cotton Market, on Saturday, closed quietly, but prices were fully supported. The sales were 6,000 bales. In the Railway Share Market business was very restricted, but quotations were firm. About £15,000 in gold was withdrawn from the Bank on Saturday. A steady business is reported in the general dis count market, but as bankers and others are nego tiating first class bills at 21 per cent. the applica tions at the Bank of England are not very numer ous. Trade is making steady progress throughout the country, and it is consequently imagined that the requirements of the commercial community will steadily increase and promote the upward tendency in the value of accommodation. Further symptoms of weakness have been per ceptible in the market for English Securities, a fresh decline, amounting to per cent. having been announced at the commencement of business this morning. The operations, both real and specu lative, although limited, have shown a preponder ance of sales, and Consols, in consequence, have receded to 94 a I for money, and to 941 for the account. The New Threes and the Reduced are 941 95; and transactions have taken place in the Indian Loan Stock at 1031 104 ; in the 5 per Cent. Xnfaeed Paper at 99} ; and in the 51 per Cent. ditto at 1054- For Foreign Securities there is also a heavy Market, but a moderate amount of business has been negotiated. Chilian and Brazilian Bonds have remained at nominal quotations, and Buenos Ayres and Mexican have slightly declined. Turkish 6 per Cents. continue dull at 781 to 79; and ditto Ne w , 661 to 66; ; Peruvian 41 per Cents. have been dealt in at 94:, the 3 per Cents. at 711 72k, and the Dollar Bonds at 801. Buenos Ayres Bonds are 83Z. _ _ _ _ Business in the Railway Share Market has been rather dull, but in most instances prices have shown increased heaviness. Eastern Counties, North Western, South-Western, Midland, and South-Eastern have declined ss. Caledonian, Great Northern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, North British, and North-Eastern (Berwick), 10s., and Great Western, £l. %Messrs. D.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER. The Court was occupied the whole of the day in hearing the arguments of counsel in a case upon a bill of exchange. The decision of their lordships upon General Beatson's application for a new trial of his cause will not be given before to-morrow. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary, Baron Watson, and Justice Wightuatin.) FULLER V. FULLER AND DYER. This was the petition of Henry Fuller, a steward on board a steampacket, praying for dissolution of marriage with his wife on the ground of adultery. Both respondents pleaded denial. Dr. Swaby and Mr. Pearce were for the petitioner, and Mr. Dowdeswell, and Mr. Raymond for the respondents. It appeared that the parties were married in 1853, and cohabited until 1858, except during the absence of the peti tioner whilst on his voyages. In 1857 petitioner sailed for India, and was absent until the 21st of April, 1858. On his arrival Mrs. Fuller, accompanied by her sister, visited him on board his vessel in ;the Victoria Docks, and remained with him until the following morning. They then left, :it being arranged that Mrs. Fuller was to go with her sister and remain at her residence until the peti tioner came in the evening. They went from the docks to Fenchurch-street, by the railway, and the co-respondent, who was in the same carriage with them, got into conversa tion with Mrs. Fuller. When the train arrived they all went to Foster's Railway Tavern, near the Terminus, and partook of refreshment. Mrs. Fuller, while in the room, quarrelled with her sister, and refused to accompany her home. The latter then went away, and Mrs. Fuller re mained at the tavern. Shortly after this quarrel occurred, she and the co-respondent drove in a cab to Hampton Wick, and subsequently to the Clay Hall Tavern, Bow, where they remained until eleven o'clock, at night. They then went away together, and Mrs. Fuller had not since returned to her husband. The petitioner traced her and the co-respondent to the tavern above mentioned, and found that she left several small parcels and a bird cage, which she had taken away from the shop the previous morning. Petitioner received a letter from his wife afterwards, in which she expressed great remorse for having offended him, and entreated him to make some provision, to prevent her leading a life of prostitution. Several witnesses were examined to establish the identity of Mrs. Fuller and the co-respondent, as the parties who been at Foster's and May Hall Taverns, one of whom posi tively deposed to having seen the act of adultery committed at the latter place. The case is not expected to close to-day. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Commissioner Goulbourn.) IN ItII JOHN EDWARD BULLER, TUE DEFAULTING SOLICITOR. To-day was the examination meeting in the matter of this bankrupt, described as of Enfield and Lincoln's-inn fields, scrivener and money lender, coal owner, and brick maker. Mr. Laurence, for the assignees, asked that the matter might be adjourned for two months. It was not desirable to take an adjournment eine die. The bankrupt was adju dicated in August, and surrendered on the day appointed. Some time after the adjudication an adjournment for three months had been ordered, so that the bankrupt might give information to his creditors, who had been most grievously wronged. The parties wronged were most of them in a high position in life. Interrogatories had been put and answered by the bankrupt in a manner which dis closed great fraud. The creditors had understood that if so minded they must prosecute their individual cases, for the machinery of this court could not be set in motion un less for offences coming within the statute. The Commissioner thought it would be hard to make the bankrupt criminate himself. The creditors could prosecute if they liked, but the Court could not interfere. Mr. Lawrence then moved that the allowance be reduced to £3 per week. Mr. Lawrence said that the position of the estate was by no means so promising as at first imagined. The Commissioner granted tho adjournment asked for. SHERIFFS' COURT. IMPORTANT DECISION.-TO LOAN SOCIETIRS.-RIMIN4• TON V. ROBERTS. This was an action to recover a sum of money, balance of a promissory note given by a borrower named Williams, for whom defendant was surety, to plaintiff, proprietor of a Loan Society. Mr. Sorrell, of Mark-lane, for defendant, had on a former occasion obtained an adjournment in order that plaintiff's books might be produced. The defence was that Mr. Roberts had heard nothing of this matter for two years. Williams was dead, and defendant had been informed that everything had been paid. Plaintiff's secretary produced the books, whioh showed the balance as upon the face of the summons. Mr. Sorrell asked why the accounts paid had not been entered on the back of the note ? Secretary—lt is not customary. Mr. Sorrell then urged that he was entitled to a non suit. Here was defendant, a most responsible man, who had not been applied to for this money for two years. The matter was certainly not satisfactory. His Honour—l am not satisfied, and, in accordance with the statute, will non-suit. Mr. Sorrell—l have given notice to the other side. Can I have any costa ? His Honour—Certainly. Defendant and attorney wore then allowed. RACING FIXTL FEBR' Lincoln Spring l5 Nottingham Spring 2l RES FOR 1860. AItY.

Gathered TOgether. Poems. By William Wilson, Author of " A Little Earnest Book," &c. Long- mans. We have frequently had occasion to commend this author's prose works as full of earnestness, and showing a cultivated taste and ready appreciation of the beautiful. He now comes before us in a new form, and though we cannot consider his poetry equal to his prose, there is much in this little collec tion that will please the reader of simple and natural tastes. Many of the poems were written some years since, and those on Lamartino and on Hungary show the writer's deep and honest feeling on the subjects; they drew letters of cordial thanks from the great men to whom he addressed them. A warm sympathy with human freedom and pro gress is shewn in all his writings, and his descrip tions of scenery testify his love of nature. We quote the following passages as specimens of the author's powers : ELECTRICITY. As little know we what our infants think, As what this baby-power shall yet perform ; It travels in the lightning on the storm, And of new wonders leads us to the brink. We know not, using it, what 'tis we uso, Or how it triumphs over time and space! Surely those miracles which once took place, hold scarce more Wonder-food on which to muse! This soundless voice most boundless secrets sways: Now nation, mentally, shakes hands with nation; Through pathless waters, over trackless ways— The hemispheres can hold a conversation I Material types express all that's believed ; The immaterial cannot be conceived. The subjoined verses are extracted from a pleas ing and graceful poem entitled " Where I would wish to rest ": With waving corn-fields far around, - Where sing the larks at morn ; With bushes matted close about, Where nightingales are born ! All interspers'd with mossy banks, Where Spring's sweet violets nest— Calm and secluded is the spot Where I would wish to rest. Where ivy claspeth round the tower Of the gray church so old ; As though it could preserve from time Beneath its green arms' fold. Dark yew-trees spreading round the porch— Of church-yard trees the best— For nature seems to love the spot Where I would wish to rest. Where—westward open to the sea— At solemn death of day, The glorious sun in grandeur sets, Shedding his latest ray. (The sun is brightest when he sinks, Like man by death caressed) The golden sunsets bathe the spot Where I would wish to rest. Where, at the stilly hour of night, The clear-eyed moon looks through, Casting fantastic shadows there, On grass and gravestone, too; Bedecking with its silver light The brooklet's crimpled breast— That thrilleth lowly by the spot Where I would wish to rest. Narrative of the Mutinies in Cowie. By Captain Hutchison, Bengal Engineers. District Duties during the Revolt in India. By H. Dundas Robertson, Bengal Civil Service. Campaigning Experiences in Rojpootana and Central India, 1857-58. By Mrs. Duberley. Smith and Elder. Books on India seem now to have become a recognised branch of literature. Works on the country itself and its national resources, the best method of government, and the discussion of the difficulties attending the missionary question, may indeed be expected to issue from the press for some time to unne ; but we should conjecture that the volumes before us were about the last stragglers of the formidable army of personal narratives and adventures during the revolt. The two works first mentioned serve to illustrate two aspects of the question, the one being by the Military Secretary to the Chief Commissioner, Oude, and the other by a member of the Bengal Civil Service. The narrative of Captain Hutchinson is a work of some importance. It has been com piled with the concurrence of the Govern ment of India, and by the direction of R. Mont gomery, C.S. Chief Commissioner of Oude, with the object of affording to all who may have lost friends or relations in Oude the most accurate and com plete information that the local Government has been able to collect. It has been a book of great care and research, and the narrators have, as far as possible, been left to tell their own story, which adds greatly to the merits of the volume, besides making it far more interesting to the reader not personally concerned in the tragedies. From the author's position, and from the fact of its being published by authority, the work has a character of authenticity which must render it valuable to those whose friends or relatives were engaged in those terrible scenes. Mr. Robertson accounts for the publication of his work by stating that he was de tained for some weeks in Calcutta waiting for a passage to England. He employed his unexpected leisure by writing a brief account of the scenes through which he had passed, and the reflections aris ing from them. At the time of the revolt the author was a joint magistrate in the Saharunpore district in the North-west Provinces, and wasiubsequently officiating collector for that district and placed in a commission for the investigation and trial of cases connected with the mutiny and rebellion. He had thus from his official position full opportu nity of forming a correct estimate of the position of affairs, and as he was frequently the only Euro pean actor in the scenes he describes, his narrative has some originality to commend it to the atten tion of the reader. The earlier portion of his work, he tells us, " will furnish a record of events in a district under the government of the North west Prrovinces, where, notwithstanding mutiny and rebellion, British authority was successfully maintained by some half-dozen Englishmen left to their own resources without the hope even of as sistance from European troops." Mrs. Duberley is well known to the English public as the enterprising and adventur ous authoress of " A Journal kept during the Russian War." It is sufficient to say that she displayed all the energy and spirit for which she is famous, in this new and more perilous campaign ; and tells us the part of the Brigade which she accompanied, marched "in spite of Indian sun and Indian rain, and in the toilsome pursuit of an everflying foe a distance of 2,028 miles," more than 1,800 of which she herself ac complished on horseback. The _History of Progress in Great Britain. By Robert Kemp Philp. Houlston and Wright. Theearly history of Great Britain, and the gradual advancement made toward civilisation by our an cestors, although partially hidden in obscurity must always prove interesting to Englishmen. The pre sent work, when once the reader has mastered the rule by which the author has regulated his compi lation of events, which we confess, in spite of some assistance furnished in the preface, to be somewhat difficult, will be found interesting in this partioular ; he commences his narrative with a description of the state of England at the time of Comers' first invasion, and shows that the character of the English in the days of yore was much the same as at present— that they were never actually conquered by the Romans, although they suffered themselves to bo governed by them; that they submitted to taxes when anything approximating to justice was shown in the imposition, but broke out into open rebellion when it was otherwise. The author has evidently taken great pains in collecting his infor mation, from the Roman authors he gathers evi dence of the eloquence of the early Britons and cites, besides the memorable speech of Caractacus, Boadicea's .exhortation to her troops before her last attempt to preserve her country. Some curious facts are brought to light, and amongst others our readers will be surprised to learn that the bar barous and ridiculous practice of ploughing by the tail, which Irishmen so indignantly repudiate, was, according to the Rev. Ciosar Otway, in vogue in the remote west of Ireland as late as 1840; and from other authority that the same practice con tinued in Scotland up to 1792. The prejudices of the human race, and the fierce oppositian which all improvements meet with, are too patent to need comment ; but, as a further example of this suicidal policy, we may cite the fact that when M'Adam first commenced constructing his famous roads " the old conservative coachman, the Marlborough one, would not use the new turnpike road, but s tuck to the old waggon track. The Blan dford requ ir e d t but five foot width in a lane, and alltherest mig ht go to the devil. "The gentry he considered ought to stay at home, and be --, an d not run gossip ingi up and down the country.' s a curious fact .

What, are all our beliefs to be swept away? No, we will not accept it. The work is I well illustrated, and deserves attention. R7teld Gana : Wanderings Round Lake Superior. By J. G. Kohl. Chapman and Hall. Indian tradition, manners, and customs have beenc, related too often to be new to the public; ' nevertheless, the present volume has peculiarities which must much recommend it. The author is a man of deep research, and has taken great pains in collecting the traditions and legends which compose this work. The reader of an Indian novel half doubts the reality of what is intended for facts, but when he peruses a work by an author of known probity am' ability, he wonders rather than doubts when he meets with the marvellous—and there is certainly a great deal of the marvellous to be found about Kitehi Gami, or the Big Water. Together with the legends before referred to, a sketch of the manners and customs of the parties who are to figure therein, is indispensable to all Indian narratives. The traditions are a pleasing eombinution of love and murder, besides a good deal of the fabulous, and many of the names which they have borrowed from the animal kingdom are founded on some of those fabulous traditions. The magician has been busy amongst them in former times, and even now is a person of no small conse quence ; but why recapitulate what has been so often told ?

The leading country markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat. Fine dry samples sold steadily, other kinds slowly, on former terms. Barley was the turn cheaper, but the value of other kinds of produce, including flour, was supported. The Continental markets have been tolerably firm for wheat at full prices. Spring corn has commanded previous rates, but the demand for it has been by no means exten sive. Very moderate supplies of home-grown produce were re ceived up to our market last week. Tho imports from abroad amounted to only 612 qrs. of wheat, 3,920 barley, 16,184 oats, 1,562 beans, 700 peas, 265 tares, 1,946 linseed, 180 rapeseed, 263 sundry seeds, 40 sacks and 4,254 barrels of flour. The quantity of wheat received fresh up to-day from Essex end Kent, coastwise and by land carriage, was only moderate, and the condition of the samples was very mid dling. The few fine qualities on offer were taken off steadily, at full quotations ; but other kinds met a dull in quiry at last Monday's prices. Millers showed no inclina tion to add to other stocks, even at present low rates. The show of foreign wheat was tolerably good. For most descriptions the demand ruled inactive; but, com pared with Monday last, no quotable change took place in prices. Floating cargoes of grain were very dull. Low qualities of malting barley were dull, at barely stationary prices. Other kinds were taken off steadily, at full quotations. The malt trade was heavy, at last week's currency. There was a good consumptive demand for nearly all qualities of oats, at fully last week's quotations. Beans maintained their previous value, but the demand for them was by no means active. Peas commanded previous rates, with a fair demand. The flour trade was healthy, at last week's prices. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE. Wheat—Essex and Kent, red, new 43s to 48s Ditto, old 4os 49.

Fresh up from our owl grazing districts, as well as from Scotland, the arrivals of beasts were reasonably good as to number, and in full average condition. Although the attendance of buyers was tolerably numerous, the demand for all kinds ruled inactive, and, in some instances, prices had a drooping tendency. The best Scots, &c., sold at is 10d per 81bs. About 1,200 beasts came to hand from the northern dis tricts ; 800 from the eastern districts ; 600 from other parts of England ; 600 from Scotland; and 120 from Ireland. A very limited supply of sheep was in the pens ; on the whole, the mutton trade ruled brisk, at an improvement in the currencies of 2d par 81bs., the best Downs having realised 5s 6d. The few calves in the market, both English and foreign, were in good request, at a further improvement in value of 2d per 81hs. The - pork trade was dull, nevertheless prices were sup ported.

Her only hope was in her eldest son, a lad who had already begun to go hunting for his mother and relatives, and was becoming the head of the family and bread-gainer. " Hence it was a crushing blow to these poor people when this hopeful youth was attacked on a distant huntiug ex pedition by treacherous Sioux, murdered, and scalped. The whole family fell into a state of melancholy, and blackened their faces ; they were utterly helpless, but, before all, thirsted for reven ge . Th e poor sickly fatherl sang the life long day, mourning songs for his murdered son, and com plained of his own impotent condition, which prevented him from going on the war- trail, and taking vengeance on the enemies of his tribe and family. He was nearly alone in the world, and had but few relations who would take com passion on him, There was nought in his house but mourning, grief, and a vain cry for vengeance. " At length the grown-up daughter, a girl of seventeen, began to beat the war-drum, mutter wild songs, and ques tion destiny, or, as they term it, dream." She had a dream, in which it was revealed to her that the only method by which to obtain consolation and cheerfulness—that is, revenge—for her family, was by sacrificing her own lover. " This beloved of her heart was a youth of the Sioux tribe, whose acquaintance she had formed in happier and more peaceful times, and whom she loved fervently, in spite of the,blood-fued between the two tribes. They had often met in secret, and were enabled to do so with ease as their villages lay on the frontier of the two hunting-grounds. He belonged to the band which had murdered her brother, and as the revengeful girl did not know how to get hold of any other warrior, she determined to act in obedience to her dream, and choose her beloved as the victim. These Indians regard their enemies as responsible en matte for the excesses committed, and their revenge is hence satiated when it falls on one of the relatives of the culprit. " The girl marched across mountain and forest to the neighbouring territory of the Sioux. In the night she made her way into their encampment, and crept up noiselessly and unnoticed to her lover's lodge. She gave him a love. signal, whispered to him through the cracks of the airy branch-hut, and invited him to come out. The young man, filled with longing, went into the forest with the maiden of his heart to spend an hour in c'inverse sweet. While in her embraces, she - was suddenly converted into the angel of death ; she thrust a knife through his heart, scalped him, and hurried home, where she was regarded as a benefactress of her family and a peat heroine." THE BBAR'S POTATO AND THE HUSK-RAT. " Now and then Du Roy pointed out to me spots in the forest where the bears had been scratching for the ' mako pin." This is a small tuber, which the Canadians call the bear's potato, nearly a translation of the Indian term. We dug some, and I tasted them, but found them marvellously bitter. But man digs after them just as greedily as the bear, and, indeed, this shaggy bourgeois—as the Canadians often call the boar, like the Ojibbeways give him the title of Forest-man—digs after, and is fond of, many things which men also like. Ah 1' said Du Roy, 'this bourgeois often works in his potato-fields like a treasure-seeker. He is a dainty gentleman, and eats the bitter fruit with as much enjoyment as au American chews tobacco. Lately, I dis turbed one eating makopin as I went through the forest. He only went a little out of my way, and sat down on a large log, where he smacked his lips and yawned, like a man picking his teeth after dinner. Unfortunately I had no gun with me, and went on my way. He let me pass, and looked after me. Ah, oui !it est bon enfant, cc bour geois-la I' As the bear is no less a gourmand than the In dian, and as it tries all the edible productions of the forest, and has a number of favourite articles of food among them, the Indians have named at least a dozen plants after the bear : bear potatoes,' bear roots,' bear nuts,' bear berries,' &c. The latter we frequently found growing in the wood ; the English call it ' service,' and also bear berry,' which is the translation of the Indian word 'mak wimin.' It is a variety of the lote-tree, and grows eery handsomely. At this time we found it covered entirely with splendidly glistening red berries, and our Canadian told us that the bears bend down the whole trees with their paws, and then eat off the berries, like children do with a blackberry bush. " In the thick reed-beds by which our canoe at times passed, I noticed now and then very curious excavations, holes, or little bays. I was told that the musk-rat produces this phenomena when getting in its harvest. We saw the nests or hay piles of these interesting animals all around us, and it is, indeed, one of the most common creatures in North America. The Canadians told me that the loon (the great northern diver) lived here in a species of community with the musk-rat, in the same way as the owl with the prairie dog. The loon lays its eggs in these loges de rat d'eau,' as the Canadians call them, and they run no risk from the excellent teeth of its little friend. I had, how ever, no opportunity of verifying this fact in any of the musk-rat dwellings I have frequently inspected. Still I had the pleasure at any rate, which I had not yet enjoyed, of seeing a heavy loon flying far above my head. Hitherto I had only seen the loon swim and dive, and almost doubted whether it could fly.tln fact, flying causes it some diffi culty ; at least rising in the air does. People say it requires wind for the purpose, and can hardly do it in calm weather. But, when once under way, it flies not only high but for a long distance, and makes great journeys both in spring and autumn. The loon we saw was quite alone, and soared like an eagle. I also hoard here for the first time its clear, loud, and harmonious cry. Our Canadian replied to it from the canoe, ' Vol 1 vol ! vol !' He said he could entice the loons down with it." TITE BEAU KNIFE. " Some of the Western Indian tribes have what they call a ' couteau d'ours.' This a knife drawn through the mouth and grinders of a dead bear—doubtless with certain forme and ceremonies—and thus receives magical qualities. Such a knife as this, which is certain to kill, and at the same time make the owner brave, can only be purchased at a high price. There is also only one way of transferring it to another owner, so as not to destroy its power. The buyer must permit the seller to throw it at his breast like a jave lin, and catch it in the air. If he has not the courage for this, sr misses it, the knife losses its qualities, and the clumsy purchaser his life into the bargain. "Of all the aaimale that exist in their forests, the In dians respect the bear most. They regard it almost in the light of a human being. Indeed, they will often say that the bear is an Anijinabe ' (Indian). They will converse with it, thinking all the while the animal must understand them. The little boar-pups are so droll, and so full of life and comical liveliness, and the old bears are so remarkably clever and crafty, that it may be easily understood how the Indians can iznagine that they see - enchanted beings in them. "The things told me here about the tricks and cheating of the bears are almost incredible. But everybody repeats them to me, and believes them. Thus, a hunter told me recently of the tricks and schemes a bear will perform when it knows itself pursued, and wishes to deceive its follower as to the direction it has taken. " This is most difficult to perform in winter, when the ground is covered with show and the rivers with ice. In summer the bear will often take to streams and brooks, and run up end down their bed. Tho hunter in pursuit is then unable to say in what direction it has gone. In the winter. when the snow betrays the bear everywhere, it has to think of other devices. Then it leaves the treacherous ground as frequently as possible, and springs along on the tree stump. which lie about all these forests, piltd up on each other. At times, when a violent storm has raged, whole districts in the forests for miles round will be covered with over blown trees. Thus is formed what the French Canadians call a 'renversi.' Fortunate for the flying bear if it can reach such a spot. It then balances itself along on the stumps, and takes long flying leaps Less snow usually lips on these trees, and, besides, wind and sun melt it away more easily than on the ground. If, however, the bear sees the mark of its footprints left upon them, it wilt steer a zig-zag course, turn back on the same trail, or leap aside. I was even told that at times Bruin will purposely return on his trail, and thus produce a perfect labyrinth of foot marks, in which the hunter can find no Ariadno's thread. ' II embrouille sa piste,' the Canadians say. "At times, too, the animal will climb up trees stern fore most, so as to make the pursuers, when they notice the marks on the tree, fancy that it has comae down again. " I was also told that a bear will wait and watch about for perhaps" three days before it will enter the hollow tree in which it intends to pass the winter." The Hon. Mrs. Norton is so dangerously ill that very little laves aro entertained of her recovery. THE NEWLY-DISCOVERED MS. olr THE BIBLE _FT 11 \v ti e o u r li th t e S G lN e l rm l.

The Vatican MS. can only compete with it as to the centrAry perhaps, but the latter is deficient in textual completeroaa, seeing that it wants five whole books of the New Testament alone, and altogether one-sixth of the entire Bible.
