COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lords Justices.) AP PEAL. - aUDGMENT.-GLYN V. HOOD. This was an appeal from a decree of Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart, declaring that the plaintiff was not liable for £5,000 and interest, as equitable mortgagee, having express notice of assignment, by letter, in July, 1847, by Messrs. Bell and Company, in taking partnership accounts, on the dissolution of that company, and Messrs. Larpent, Cockeril, and Co., merchants, Canton. and London. Their lordships affirmed the decree of the Vice-Chan cellor, and dismissed the appeal with wets. SECONDARIES' COURT. BANKENSEE V. DAVIS - APPREHENSION OF TILE PLAINTIFF IN COURT. This was an action to recover a suns of money for goods sold and delivered. Defendant pleaded a set-off. Mr. Laxton called the plaintiff, and that person was very closely cross-examined by Mr, Sill, of Birmingham. After this had lasted some time, Mr, :Sill said—Do you know that a police officer is waiting for you ? Plaintiff —No. What for ? Mr. Sill--A police officer from Birmingham. Plaintiff—l don't know what he can want me for. Mr. Sill then stated that he was informed that there really was a police constable from Birmingham present, and soon afterwards a City police constable came into the court. Upon inquiry it was ascertained that a Birming ham detective actually held a warrant, and was waiting outside the court. After the defendant's case had been completed, Mr. Lax ton said he supposed the Birmingham detective had been introduced for the purpose of intimidating the plaintiff, and prejudicing his case. He should advise the detective to go home, or else there might be another action against certain parties for malicious prosecution. The learned Secondary then summed up to the jury, who found for the plaintiff. As the plaintiff was leaving the Court, Mr. Dutton, of Birmingham, detective, assisted by James Hill, City police constable 495, produced a warrant, duly backed, upcn which ha apprehended the plaintiff upon a charge of obtaining nine dozen of watches from a Mr. Billings, of Hurst-street, Birmingham, and with giving a cheque upon the Town and District Bank, having no funds. POLICE INTELLIGENCE -(THIS DAl'. MARLBOROUGH -STREET. SAVAGE ASSAULT ON A BOT.—Dennis Collins or Callan, a rough-looking man, was charged before Mr. Beadon with the following assault on a boy. Samuel Thom, a boy, residing at 4, Barrett's-court, Ox ford-street, said that that morning as he was selling his newspapers in the Regent-circus, and was just jumping on the steps of an omnibus when the prisoner ran after him and tried to strike him, and he then gave him a violent kick on his shins, knocking him into the road, The prisoner also sold papers but he (complainant) had not interfered with him. Mr. Wood, a gentleman residing at Richmond, York shire, but at present staying at 9, Hanover-villas, Notting hill, said he was in a Saloon omnibus and saw the prisoner kick the boy in a most brutal and disgusting way—the kick evidently being meant for another part and not the shins. Mr. Webb, a barrister, of Lincoln's-inn, also wit nessed the assault, and they gave the prisoner into custody. The boy said the prisoner threatened that before St. Patrick's Day he would give him the kick, and fly to Ireland. (Laughter.) Fined 40s. or fined 14 days. EXTRAORDINARY CONDUCT OP A SOLDIEL—James Mahood, a :private of the Scots Fusiliers, was charged as follows : Mrs. Ann Arthurs, of 37, Little Pultney-street, said that on the previous evening, about nine, the prisoner walked deliberately through her shop (she carrying on the business of a milliner) into her parlour, upset a quantity of work, and smashed the table, and then threw himself on the floor, he being in a state of intoxication at the time. She had never seen the prisoner before, and he was not known to any person working for her. Prisoner said he knew nothing about it. Sergeant Cook, 7 C, said when he took the prisoner into custody he was drunk, and lying on the floor of complain ant's work-room. He was very violent, and assaulted the constable who assisted him (Cook) by kicking hiia on the shins. Tyler, 64 C, proved the assault, and said he felt the effects of it still. Mr. Beadon asked if anything was known of the prisoner. The prisoner's pay-sergeant said he was a very respect able young man, and but for this would have been brought forward for promotion. He was surprised to see him at the court on such a charge. Mr. Beadon said it was all the effects of drink, and but for the character he had received he should have committed him for a month for the assault on the constable. He must pay the amount of the damage, Bs., or 14 days, and 20s. for the assault, or 14 days. THAMES. A NICE POINT—ILLEGALLY PAWNING.—Dinah Mar shall, a dressmaker, of Silver-street, Stepney, and aged 36, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with illegally appropriating to her own use two dresses which had been entrusted to her, by pawning the same. Ruth Jones, a servant girl, iiving in Wanstead, said that on the Bth of June last she entrusted the prisoner with some cotton print to make up into a dress, and gave her another dress as a pattern. She had not seen either since. She had repeatedly sent to the prisoner, but could not ob tain her property. Last night she came to London and saw the prisoner, who said she could not lot her have the dress until next week. She then went to the station-house, and the prisoner was given into custody, and admitted at once that she had pawned the two dresses. Police-constable 361 K, said the prisoner gave her a pawnbroker's duplicate relating to the two dresses, and said she had pawned them. James Grieve, shopman to Mr. Tilley, pawnbroker, of the Mile-end-road, produced the two dresses, upon which he had lent ss. They were identified by the presecutriz as her property. The prisoner said she was in great distress, and pawned the dresses to obtain food for her children. Mr. Yardley—That is no excuse. You have no business to distress others to relieve your own distress. You have not only pawned the dress, but the pattern which that young woman, an industrious servant, gave you, and it is a very hard case upon her. I must punish you, and that sweetly, for this. Here Mr. Bowdler, the second clerk, handed a book to the magistrate, and while he was reading it a young woman, who said she was a friend of the prisoner's, advanced to wards the witness-box, and said that she would pay the amount advanced upon the articles by the pawnbroker if the magistrate would permit her to do so. Mr. Yardley—Are you ready to do so at once ? The young woman—l am, sir. lam anxious to prevent her going to prison. Mr. Yardley—Pay the ss. to the pawnbroker's assistant, and let the dresses be given up to Ruth Jones, the prose cutrix. He then addressed the prisoner, and said he had intended to punish her severely, and to commit her to pri son unless she could pay a heavy fine, but there was some doubt about his jurisdiction, as more than six months had elapsed sines the articles wore pawned. He discharged the prisoner, and warned her that she might not be so lucky another time. 11115 DAYS MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. To-day's market was scantily supplied with English wheat in very middling condition. The few fine samples on oibr were disposed of at prices rather over those realised last week. Low and damp parcels moved off heavily at late rates. We were fairly supplied with most kinds of foreign wheat. On the whole, a fair business was transacted at Monday's currency. Floating cargoes of grain were a slow inptiry. The barley trade was less active. In prices, however, no change took place. There was very little doing in malt at late quotations. The oat trade was by no means active, nevertheless prices were supported. Beans and peas were tolerably firm. Flour commanded extreme rates. ♦RRIVALS THIS WEER Wheat. Barley Malt. Oats Flour.

TILIS DAY.) LITERATURE. ' Have you ever passed through the Strand, or Fleet street, at dawn on a summer's morning ? If so, you will have seen a street unknown to you by day—sharp gables, quaint angles, odd signs and sculptures, strange shops, new alleys—a curious old carved and irregular continental street, with antique spires peering over a toppling sea of roofs, as unlike the street that the good citizen sees when he takes down his shutters as Venice to Bermondsey. I saw India in mourning, lighted up by a blood-red conflagration, and in her misery s h e a pp eare d very diff eren t indee from the pictures which had been drawn of her, but they may have been, nevertheless, accurate representations of her former state. I know not if I have seen aright or can de scribe the objects which I beheld ; but such as India ap peared to me, it shall be to the best of my poor ability, por trayed in pen and ink." The fair and temperate tone of the work is highly commendable, and the date at which it was written, as well as the personal anecdotes, relieve the mournful narrative of deaths and sufferings which are, unfortunately, the chief contents of all works on India. The writer's Crimean experience served him in good stead, and the following anecdote is not without importance. When Mr. Russell was in the Crimea he saw a young Oriental who expressed great anxiety "to see the famous city and those great Roostums, the Russians, who have beaten Frexch and English together." He explored all he could in the environs of Sebastopol, and said laughing to the author, " I think you will never take that strong place." "This fellow, as we all know, was the Nana's secretary, and chief adviser in the massacres at Cawnpore. Now, is it not curious enough that he should have felt such an in terest to see, with his own eyes, how matters were going in the Crimea ? It would not be strange in a European to evince such curiosity ; but in an Asiatic of the nonmili tary caste, it certainly is. He saw the British army in a state of some depression, and he formed, as I have since heard, a very unfavourable opinion of its morale and phy sique, in comparison with that of the French. Let us remem• ber,that soon after his arrival, in India he accompanied Nana Sahib to Lucknow, where they remained for some time, acd are thought by those who recollect their tone and demeanour, to have exhibibted considerable insolence and hauteur towards the Europeans they met. Afterwards the worthy couple, on the pretence of a pilgrimage to the hills Hindoo and Mussulman joined in a holy excursion ! visited the military stations all along the main trunk-road, and went as far as Umballah. It has been suggested that their object in going to Simla was to tamper with the Goorkha regiment stationed in the hills; but that, finding on their arrival at Umballah, a portion of them were in cantonments, they were able to effect their purpose with these men, and desisted from their proposed journey on the plea of the cold weather. That the Nana's demeanour to wards us should have undergone a change at this time is not at all wonderful; for he had learned the irrevocable de termination of the authorities to refuse what he—and, let me add, the majority of the millions of Hindoos who knew the circumstances—considered to be his just rights as adopted heir of the ex-Peishwa of the Mahrattas." The shameful official mismanagement of the Cri mean army may thus have had its influence on the horrors of 18.57. Mr. Russell speaks of Sir Cohn Campbell, now Lord Clyde, and the other generals, in high terms. Their kindness to himself appears to have been consistent and unvarying. Unfortunately he was in a position to need it, for a series of mishaps invalided him for months, and nearly made him pay the penalty of his enterprise with his life. The heat he describes as something fearful—hundreds of men being dis abled by sunstroke. The march from Jellalabad to Futteyghur seems to have been a fearful one. "The march was resumed. On again we went for mile after mile over a sandy, dusty plain. The so ldi ers o f th e 80th, who had had a ong march already, were soon as much exhausted as those of our old escort. From every side were cries of distress for the bheeties. Suddenly there came out of the hot black night a fearful storm—not of rain or thunder, but of wind and dust, which burned like the ashes of a furnace. The column halted at once. Nor man nor beast could face the force of the blast, the burning breath of the Simoom 1 The current was as a stream of lava, and it fell on my dooly so savagely that I tumbled out of it on the sand to leeward lest it should be blown away with me. The bearers threw themselves on the windward-side and kept the litter down. I felt the hot dust gathering over me, my skin burned as though in fever. Close to me lay a gnarled old soldier of the 80th, who was gasping for breath, and in the lulls of the storm calling for the bheesty with feeble breath. I told him to cheer up, and that it would soon be over. " ' That it will—soon for me. I've been 18 years in the service, and never had such hardship as this —. It's more than a man can bear, si r . There's ton of my section missing—and no wonder I' All the officers were dis mounted, and the men were crouched on the ground during the violence of the storm. In a quarter of an hour or so the strength of the wind abated. The column re-formed, and the march began once more ; but the poor fellow near me had spoken only too truly. They tried to rouse him. He was a dead man. Several of the escort died that night. A large proportion were carried into hospit a l on our arr i va l at Futteyghur, where several of them expired afterwards. Some were miss ing up to the time I left the Fort." Of Lord Canning, the author speaks with all pos sible courtesy. He saw him twice, and was im pressed by his careworn look, but seems to have shared the general opinion that the transaction of business at Calcutta might have been more rapid if more distributed. " lie scorned proud—and am I not bound to say with justice ?—of the exertions of his Government, to forward the troops up country with comfort and despatch, and to provide for them when sick and wounded ; but it struck me that he over-estimated the amount of work that can be effected by any one man, however zea lous and self-sacrificing, unless indeed he be such an administrative giant as Caesar or Napoleon. I was not astonished to fin i a Governor-General of India at sueh a time were-looking and anxious, and heavy with care; but when I learned incidentally, and net from his own lips, that he had been writing since early dawn that morning, and that he would not retire till twelve or ono o'clock that night, and then had papers to prepare ere he storted in the morn ing, I was not surprised to hear that the despatoh of pub lic business was not so rapid as it might have been if Lord Canning had a little more regard to his own ease and health." With regard to the vexed question of the Oude Proclamation his opinion is clearly and emphati cally given. He says on March 20th, " There are copies of a proclamation by Lord Canning to the people of Oude which has caused much real alarm in camp." A little further on, he says on the same subject, " I have not heard one voice raised in its erenee, and even those who are habitually silent, now open their mouths to condemn the policy which must perpetuate the rebellion in Oude. In fact, unless there be some modification of the general terms of the proclamation, it will be but irrita tnenta tnalorunt to issue it." Many other allusions to it are written in the same strain, and arguments given against it, with the tenour of which English readers are generally familiar, from our discussions on the subject at home. The following is a speci men of the author's amusing camp anecdotes : "April 22.—Left Urrowl at 3.15 and marched to Meenin ke-serai, ten miles—a decided improvement as to time and distance. I came up to camping-ground, passed a discon solate-looking Englishman on the roadside who had got out of his gharry, and was looking for the troops. It turned out to be Ross of the 93d, formerly adjutant-general at Balaklava, and I directed him to our tope. Dined with Sir Colin, and after a long talk with him and with Gen. Mansfield, who was also one of the guests, I made for my tent. For the' life of me I could not find it. I wandered about among the trees in the dark, and at last was forced to shout out Simon' at the top of my voice, no doubt receiving kind wishes from the inmates of the tents. There were plenty of fellows sleeping out in the air on their oharpoys, as it was cooler than in the tents. No Simon answered. At last, quite savage, I made over to a charpoy, and shaking the sleeper, said, Who's here ? Can you tell me where my tent is ?' Illy Diary in India in the year 1858.9. By W. H. Russell, LL.D. With illustrations. Two vols. Routledge. Mr. Russell's celebrity as a campaigning cor respondent is so widely extended that a work from his pen needs little recommendation to ensure for it the attention of the public. His style, his sen timents, his powers of description are all familiar to a large circle of readers, and those who wish to follow the events of the latter portion of the Indian campaign, or to see India as it was after the disas trous year of the mutiny, can hardly do batter than peruse these volumes. The work before us does not consist, as might have been supposed, of a re print of Mr. Russell's correspondence with the Times, but contains fresh matter. On looking over his diary, he tells us in the preface, he found many subjects alluded to which had not been included, in his letters, and thinking that the incidents of the campaign and records of personal adventures would not be without interest, he prepared the journal for publication. With the addition of a few notes and with the omission of all private and confidential mat ters,the MS. has been printed almost as it was penned. We have thus the advantage of learning the first im pressions of an eye-witness, of one, too, who, thanks to his recognised position as London correspondent and the courtesy of the chiefs, had unusual oppor tunities for observation. Mr. Russell started for his expedition e n ti re l y unpre j u di ce d save b y the indignation that was stirring every- heart at the thought of the Sepoy atrocities. His opinion of these appears to have been considerably modi fied by his residence in India, and he plainly hints that there is little to choose between the cruelty of the revolted troops and that of some of the avengers. We must, however, recollect that Mr. Russell visited India during the reaction that always takes place after any violent public emotion, when the rebound from one extreme to the other is not uncommon. Also in reference to the tortures inflicted in the presence of English soldiers, and the story of an English officer taking aim four times at a boy leading a blind man, we may console ourselves by reflecting that no authority, save report, is given ; and that, however authentic and trustworthy Mr. Russell's personal narrative may be, he is no more exempt than others from the mistakes and exaggerations of rumours and reports. His opinion of our rule in India is somewhat mournful in its conclusions. While there, he tells us, " I had no authors to consult, no books to read, and no guides but my own perceptions ; but neither had I any prejudices to overcome, nor theories to support." His views are thus not without importance; but he warns us that first impressions may be deceptive, and that the circumstances which surrounded him may have altered the true aspect of affairs : It was Sir Colin himself, who, wide awake in a minute, gazed at me with some wonder. I apologised and told him my story; he laughed, and said, Well, take a fresh de parture from this point now, and you must come upon your tent down that street.' I did so, and next distinguished myself by walking in upon Mansfield, who was sitting up reading. After disturbing all the camp I got to my own tent at last. The position of it had been changed, owing to the arrival of Col. Percy Herbert and others at head-quar ters. We were near the famous ruins of Kunouj to-day, the great Hindoo city and seat of empire. An old man who sold rosewater and preserved tamarinds, and who told us he had been guide to Lord Lake, promised to come in the even ing and conduct us to the place, but he did not keep his word, and so I missed seeing those very wonderful remains, which are, however, only appreciable by one who is better yersed in Hindoo antiquities than most of us are. Only one or two officers went; and they came back, declaring it was a do—a sham, nothing but old bricks and rubbish.' " The difficulties attendingour Indian rule struck the author most forcibly. 'While moralising over the ruins of Cawnpore he asks, How shall we prevent the recurrence of such a catastrophe ? and proceeds as follows ; " I am deeply impressed by the difficulty of ruling India, as it is now governed by force, exercised by a few who are obliged to employ natives as the instruments of coercion. That force is the base of our rule I have no doubt; for I see nothing else but force employed in our relations with the governed. The efforts to improve the condition of the people are made by bodies or individuals who have no con neclion with the Government. The action of the Govern ment in matters of improvement is only excited by consi derations of revenue. Does it, as the great instructor of the people, the exponent of our superi or mora lit y an d civi ligation—Les it observe treaties, show itself moderate, and just, and regardless of gain ? Are not our courts of law condemned by ourselves ? Are they not admitted to be a curse and a blight upon the country? In effect, the grave, unhappy doubt which settles on my mind is, whether India is the better for our rule, so far as regards the social condition of the great mass of the people. 'We have put down widow burning, we have sought to check ; but I have travelled hundreds of miles through a country peopled with beggars and covered with wigwam villages." He enters very little into the details of the earlier part of the revolt. So much has been said on the subject, that not having been an eye-witness it would have been futile for him to have enlarged upon it. With regard to the unchecked advance of the mutineers from Meerut to Delhi he expresses a feeling of indignation which was very generally felt in this country:— " Although I heard many circumstances adduced in ex tenuation of the cardinal errors and fatal incapacities which pre-eminently marked the conduct of the authorities in command of the Meerut division, at a period when errors and incapacity were by no means unfrequently conspicuous, I own that on the very spot itself, under the able guidance of the intelligent young dicer who went round the whole of the scene of the disaster, I was unable to comprehend how it was that the mutineers were permitted to march off after the commission of murder and arson quietly to Delhi, to inaugurate the reign of terror and bloodshed all over India, whilst a regiment of English dragoons, a famous battalion of English infantry, with an ample suppDrt of field-artillery, were within a few hundred yards of them. Every one talks of the incapacity of the aged veteran, on whpm the whole affair produced the effect of a hideous nightmare ; but is it not strange that among all the officers there was not a man with courage and coolness enough to take on himself the responsibility of action, and to order the pursuit of the mutineers ? What was Sir Archdale Wil son, of Delhi, doing ? Where were the officers in com mand of the various regiments ? To plead the novelty of the situation, tho suddenness of the outbreak, ignorance of the extent of the movement, apprehension for the safety of the women and children, is simply to say, We were in a position to which, being very ordinary mon, we were un equal'—it is a plea ad misericordiam. The miserable de monstration of a march through the bazaar after the rebels had gone off, and the:feeble inaninity of discharging a few round-shot in the dark night 'in the direction of voices which were heard among the trees,' stamp the capacity of the authorities at once. It seems to me that it might have been possible td avert the outbreak at Delhi by vigorous ac tion at Meerut. What form the discontent and religious excitement which prevailed in the army might have sub se iuently assumed, it is not easy to say ; but, at all events, enough would have transpired at Meerut and elsewhere to arouse the Government to action, to demand investigation, and to place the European community in India on the alert, so that they might concert measures for defence in case of an outbreak. It may be said that the mutiny would have come, sooner or later, and that may be quite true ; but after the outbreak at Meerut it surely would not have come like a thief in the night. Many people will assert that it was desirable it should come, as nothing short o f suc h a tremendous catastroph e could have produced a ohange of system and awakened us to a sense of our danger ; but no one will affirm, I think, that the slaughter of our poor countrymen and women should have taken place in order to produce that effect. Above all, no one can maintain that the state of ill-feeling and mistrust which exists be tween native and European now, and which is a most de plorable result of the mutinies, their crimes, and their punishments, is not most mischievous, as its existence ag gravates those evils in the Indian system which in some measure caused the revolt." The conduct of the European officials, whether civil or military, has evidently been most evil in its effects on the people. Besides unauthenticated stories, Mr. Russell gives many instances which occurred under his observation, which sufficiently show the evils of unchecked power even in a civi lised race : " On my way back from this visit, I had occasion to go to the railway office to give instructions for forwarding my baggage—which had not yet arrived from Lucknow—if I were obliged to start ere it reached Cawnpore • and I am obliged to confess th e f ears w hi c h are expressed —that the sense of new-sprung power, operating on vulgar, half educated men, aided by the servility of those around them, may produce results most prejudicial to our influence among the natives—are not destitute of foundation, if I may take the manners of the person whom I found at the chief en gineer's house, as a fair specimen of the behaviour of his class towards gentlemen. As I was returning to the hotel, I saw another exemplification of the mischiefs which are to be dreaded from a large infusion of Europeans into'lndia, in positions where they are really irresponsible, unless to their own good feelings. The Company foresaw the dan ger, which, however, arose very much from the system of legal administration and police which they founded, or were forced to accept. If Europeans aro not restrained by edu cation and humanity from giving vent to their angry pas sions, there is little chance of their being punished for any thing short of murder—and of murder it has been often• times difficult to procure the conviction of Europeans at the hands of their countrymen. This is what happened. There were a number of coolies sitting idly under the shadow of a wall ; suddenly there came upon them, with a bound and a roar, a great British lion—his eyes flashing fire, a tawny mane of long locks floating from under his pith helmet, and a huge stick in his fist —a veritable Thor in his anger. He rushed among the coolies, and they went down like grass, maimed and bleeding. I shouted out of the gharry, Good heavens, stop ! Why, you'll kill those men l' (One of them was holdinr , up his arm, as if it were broken.) A fu r i ous h ow l , ' What the -- business have you to interfere ? It's no affair of yours.' Oh, yes, sir, but it is. lam not going to be accessory to murder. See how you have maimed that man You know they dared nit raise a finger against you.' ' Well ; but these lazy scoundrels are engaged to do our work, and they sneak off whenever they can, and how can I look after them 1' " We commend this work to all who wish for a fair and authentic picture of India as she appears to an unprejudiced observer, as it enables the reader to judge for himself of the state of our vast posses sions and the difficulties of our rule. Above all, it sets forth the paramount importance, even in a narrow and worldly sense, of fair and equitable government ; of justice administered as between man and man, not as between master and slave ; of the firm rule of a well-ordered state, not the pas sionate and uncertain vengeance of an incensed despot; of the encourag ement of civilisation an d the diffusion of our faith, not by the denunciations of Exeter-hall authorities, or the increase of well meaning but often mistaken missionaries, but by the influence of practice Instead of precept—by showing that the dominant race are Christian men, owning Christian responsibilities, and that, there fore, cruelty, intolerance, and injustice are to them forbidden things. Shooting and Fishing in _Lower _Brittany. A Complete and Practical Guide to Sportsmen. By John Kemp, Esq. Longman. The author states that his objz.ct in presenting this volume to the public is twofold; firstly, that the sportsman abroad may not meet with the same difficulty that he did of finding himself in a wild and strange country, 'without any guide to assist him, and, secondly, that his example may induce others to follow his example, so that many fine shooting and fishing localities ;broad may be known to the intending sportsman, and that when arrived there he may have a plain straightforward book to direct him in his researches for game. It is certainly hard that, when the tourist has a com plete hand-book to every town on the continent, the unfortunate sportsman resorts to his own ingenuity. This the author has taken the first step to remedy, and if those who follow his example can produce as. instructive and amusing a volume as the one before us, their productions will be both instructive to sportsmen and amusing to the general reader. The district strictly treated of is Lower Brittany, of which there is a good-sized map given, but the author does not confine himself strictly to that locality •, his sketches of character are good, and some of his adventures at the small inns he stopped at are amusing; he, however, informs the traveller where to find good accommodation. The following extract is a sample of his misfortunes : " Madame Huet, who was supposed to manage the affairs of the Inn, (for her husband was hen-pecked, and only allowed to occupy himself with la commerce, viz., buy ing up butter for the Landivisiau market)) w as ae table dragon. She was intoxicated from morning till night, and she bullied her husband, her daughter, and, I m guests. Fancy, the old termagant actually eat down say, ownw her ith me to dinner (Breton soup and hard corn be her fingers, grinned at me, asked absurd g uesti ate with ons, and rambled in her conversation on every conceivableridiculous topic. I tried to get rid of her by smoking,—simply she smoked too. I walked on the Place, she winked and — leered at me from the doorway. This was all very dread ful, but I had still much room for pity for her unfortunate daughter, who always lived in the midst of it, an d w h o confided to me her intention of entering a convent as soon as the necessary funds could be raised. The latter's inte- rest I easily procured in the matter of breakfast on the morrow. Coffee and milk she could manage, but she hinted that I must superintend the operation of egg-boiling. And so to bed with aching head; and the room seemed to b me to be the best part of the establishment. Still, even thither was 1 followed by the dragon, who would not leave the room till I was actually between the sheets. I might have been thankful that she did not, in Iceland fashion, give zee a parting kiss, which would have been the worst of all. "Early, so early, for fear of the dragon, I came down . stairs, and superintended the f a b r i cat i on of breakfast. What a simple thing that egg was, and which I had selected, as being the only thing the dear creatures could not put their fingers into ; but, then, what ignorance on my part to have boiled it for three minutes and a half, when there was not a spoon in the establishment to eat it with I Harry _Hartley, or Social Science for the Workers. By J. W. Overton. Lea, Warwick-lane. The object of this little book is to describe the state of the English workman, and to discuss the plans which have been made for his improvement. The author expresses his opinions in a most sensible manner; after stating that the middle classes are actuated by the most praiseworthy motives in their efforts, he truly remarks that they make a mistake is trying to elevate the lower classes. " I have ever held that the workers must elevate themselves —and that our real, true, and good friends of the middle class must cease to look upon us as automata, to which they have to give life as well as motion; rather let them look upon us as the great mis directed power we really are." In the exciting story that is met with in these pages the reader will find many opinions set forth whose validity he may question, but there is manifested throughout a straightforwardness which irresistibly attracts the attention and commands the esteem. All respect those who state their opinions with cout age, and yet with courtesy, and the author of this book is entitled to the consideration of those who admire energy and good intentions. THE PROPOSED CONVERSION OF THE REGEXT'S CAXAL IX2'O A RAILWAY. Yesterday a crowded meeting of the proprietors of the Regent's Canal Company was held at the Dock-house, City-road, to consider the offer made by the promoters of the Central London Railway and Dock Company for a conditional purchase of of the canal property. The Marquis of SALISBURY, chairman of the com pany, who presided, observed that negotiations had been going on between the solicitors of the companies which required the confirmation of the proprietors or otherwise. Mr. Barnes would read the terms of the arrangement for the transfer of the Regent's Canal to the intended Central London Railway and Dock Company. The following are the heads of the arrangement: —That on payment of £lO,OOO the promoters of the rai'way are to be entitled to a transfer of the Re gent's Canal and all its property, subject to all its liabilities ; that the transfer was to take effect on the expiration of four months after the passing of the act, up to which time the canal company are to receive all their revenue, the railway company to take the revenue fiom that time, and to discharge all liabilities chargeable against capital. Then fol lows a scale of compensation to officers and servants of the canal company. The transfer is to be subject to the payment of £3O per share (amounting to 27,618 shares £815,540) to the canal proprietors, £l5 per share to be paid at the end of four months from the passing of the act and the remaining £l5 by three annual instalments in 1861, 1862, and 1863, with interest at 4i per cent. The unpaid part of the purchase-money:and interest to be a first charge on the canal company's property and on the assets of the railway company. On payment of the last instalment the railway company to be entitled to a rebate of £lO,OOO. The railway company to apply for an act to confirm the arrangement, and for the winding up and dissolution of the canal company, and pay all costs and expenses ; and that the ar rangement' to be subject to the sanction of Parlia ment, and to be at an end, except as to payment of costs, unless the act be obtained in 1860. Provi sion is made for determining matters of detail by arbitration. Mr. BARNES next read a correspondence which had taken place between the solicitors of the two companies, from which it appeared that there had been no deposit of £lO,OOO ; and it was stated by Mr. Parker, deputy chairman, that the promoters of the railway scheme were Messrs. Gurney, Donaldson, and M‘lienzie. He had written to the former gentleman upon the subject, and had received no letter in reply from him, though he had from the solicitors of the promoters. Ile concluded by asking if those gentlemen were present. It was stated that they were not. The noble CHAIRMAN remarked that, under the circumstances, as the arrangement for the deposit of £lO,OOO had not been fulfilled, there was an end of the meeting. They were not in a position to make any proposition. It was then moved and seconded that the meet ing bo dissolved. Mr. NEWHALL, a Parliamentary agent, on the part of the promoters, said that the act possibly might not pass in the next session of Parliament, and that it might be flung out under rule 150 of the standing orders. He looked upon it that it would be an absolute forfeiture of £lO,OOO. The meeting showed much impatience during Mr. Newhall's remarks, Eventually the meeting was dissolved. SHOCK OF AN EARTHQUAKE. (From the Cornish Telegraph.) On Friday right last, about half-past 10, West Cornwall was visited by a shock of earthquak, and although we only experienced the effects of such a terrible convulsion in the remotest and least alarm' ing degree, enough was felt to give us some idea of this phenomenon when it occurs nearer the earth's crust. The shock was perceptible at the same time and with similar results throughout the Western Peninsula, and the only thing we have to note is the effect it produced on various peeple. We have re ceived verbal accounts from St. Just, Madron, Hea Moor, Marazion, St. Ives, Hayle, Redruth, and the Isles of Scilly : all describe the shock as p: odicing the same strong vibration as that caused by heavy waggons or trains as they roll along. Many people had retired to rest, and speak of the trembling of their beds for a minute; in several houses in Pen zance glasses which stood on the table rang ; and in one house the floor of the back-kitchen vibrated so much that its occupant, in terror, caught at some support. At the same time there was a sound like muffled thunder, so it is narrated to us—that is to say as if thunder had pealed near the town, but the sound had been deadened. We' heard or felt nothing of it ourselves, but then, like the old woman in the nursery tale we live "under (and against) a hill," and a hundred times a day feel floor vibra tions and hear the crockery jingle : accustomed to the earthquakes of traffic we perceived nothing of this growl of Dame Nature. Partly owing to their seclusion and partly owing, probably, to their proximity, to granite, H ea , M oor, P olta i r, and lrengwamton felt the convulsion sensibly, and at the latter residence the earthenware was thrown down and the inmates much alarmed. At Hayle an old man who is a gatekeeper on the West Cornwall line sprang out of bed in great anxiety, exclaiming to his wife, " Surely a train has passed !" Thoughts of a strong gate smashed into match wood, perhaps of an accident, and most certainly of managerial displeasure, came and went; and were not banished until the troubled watchman dressed and ascertained that no train had swept past. The St. Ives people thought awaggon, laden with one of the immense Cornish boilers, had rumbled along their streets. At St. Mary's (Islands of Scilly) no shock or sound was experienced. The only correspondent who has up to this time (Monday) written on the subject is Mr. Burney, RN., of Mousehole, and we have much pleasure in appending his description and the result of his experience : Mousehole, Jan. 14, 1860, Sir,—Last night, at 10.25, a smart shock of an earthquake was felt here. The shock lasted nearly a minute, and appeared to extend from south to north. Those in bed felt as if on board a steamer in a heavy sea. The noise resembled distant thun der, or, more properly speaking, as if a hundred heavy cables were let go. The sea was greatly , agitated, as if it were boiling, and directly after wards there was a heavy squall of rain and wind. My eldest daughter had just gone to her bedroom, and describes the scene as follows :—Her toilet table, at which she was standing, appeared as if a person had taken it by one end and violently shaken it. The glass, &c., rang, and the various things on it positively appeared to dance. She was naturally very much alarmed, but could not duringm ove as the floor appeared to rise and fall under her feet . , g yicottases For nearly a minute she stood trembli m n the whole time everything in sdsi t dn h c : sc i i o .bd o e rri ci ' at.u w assi a n s igf in aa motion. From one end to the other of the shock was felt ; those in passing On inquiry this waggon, heavily laden, was severe morning tioifattthhee whole v illage felt it more or less, but nearly all differ in their description; all agree, however, as to the trembling sensation and the noise. A few weeks since I felt a singular sensation, and th oug h t I might be deceived; but last night there was no doubt on the subject, and, p ac ie c a u l st e o l m im ed a. last night te as_l am to si m il ar sensations in a sayingtro ever t f h el a t t . a h s e h si o t e a k tio as I was lashsaevNe'erneohesitation in haven —I have the honour to be, sir, your most obedient servant, W.

The Modena Gazette publishes more documents found in the archives of Parma, from which it appears that various condemnations to the bastinado were executed in 1849 and 1850, under the reign of the Duchess, together with other grave acts of severity. MANCHESTER TRADE REPORT.—MANCHESTER, Tuesday.—The advices from the East are favourable, itnd the tone of the market is decidedly firm and cheerlai. Prices of all sorts of yarns and cloth are tending upwards, with a demand quite equal to the production. The G er mans are buying more freely, and fur the home trade them is a good inquiry,
