THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 21, 1859, THIS TTS. CORN EXCHANGE. There was a slight improvement in the demand for wh eat in most of the country markets held on Saturday, and pH ces generally were well supported. Malting barley commam led extreme currencies, but other kinds ruled somewhat hat' fry. Other produce was dull, on former terms. Throughout the Continent fine wheat and barley have t told at full prices, but other kinds have met a dull inquiry. At New York, to which port shipments have been made from Liverpool, both wheat and flour continue comparatively high in price. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were only moderate. From abroad we received 6,254 qrs. of wheat, 17,283 barley, 7,732 oats, 2,020 beans, 259 peas, 1,393 tares, 3,919 linseed, 6,591 rapeseed, 4,770 sundry seeds, 1,664 sacks and 200 barrels of flour. A very limited supply of wheat was received fresh up to day from Kent, and the arrivals from Essex were very moderate ; hence the show of samples of both red and white was small, but their general condition was tolerably good. For fine parcels there was a steady demand, and in some instances prices may be called the turn, or is per qr., higher than on Monday last. Low and middling qualities found buyers at full quotations. There was an improved tone in the demand for useful qualities of foreign wheat, at full currencies ; but the amount of business doing was only moderate. Fl o ating cargoes of grain sold at full prices, but the demand was rather heavy. Malting barley was scarce, and in request, at full prices. Grinding and distilling sorts were taken off slowly, on former terms. For malt the inquiry was less active. Irr prices, how ever, no change took place. • The show of oats was only moderate, and the demand was far frOm active, on former terms. Beans were in short supply, and steady request, at fully last week's currency. Wo had a fair deinawl for peas, at full quotations. The flour trade was by no means active. In prices, however, no change took place. LI CURRENCY .PER IMPERIAL MEASURE. Wheat—Essex and Kent, red new 308 to 458 Ditto, old Ditto, white, new .

Memoirs to Illustrate the _History of My Time. ' By F. GuiZot, author of " Memoirs of Sir Robert Peel," &e. &c. Translated by J. W. Cole. Vol. 11. Richard Bentley. The second volume of these interesting memoirs of the French ex-Premier has now made -its appearance. However much we may differ from the policy, of M. Guizot and his chief, it is always interesting to ;read the memoirs - of one . who has for many years filled the great offices of a European State—to see the view he takes, in silence and retirement, of the turmoils and angry questions that agitated his cabinet—to watch the ch ange i n his opinions produced by the events of succeeding years —to view the light in which the great political questions of a former day appear to him,when divested.' of the false colouring d s i e o s n i r of f m a u r t p h l o a r e i e t . y , o xi r . 7 } e e t. thrown over the m by the tri ve o f power , the spiritposses whatever p po h s s i f t i a o u n l t a s na as a statesman, is eminently qualified for his under taking, both by hi s pecu li ar literary abilities and bze t i h gu la the roimida,nv;ceatehf g wasatreerss theid entina agita tions of his nati ve coun t ry , f rom which notonly his own race of politicians have retreated in dis comfiture, but the whole dynasty which they served, and even the title it bore, has totally passed away. On the subject of the sudden convulsions which threaten political power in France, M. Guizot makes the following observations, the truth of which , must strike every reader of French his tory. He is speaking of the Revolution of 1830 : " The stuggle had scarcely begun, and already the entire establishment of the Restoration—persons and institutes —was in visible and urgent danger. A few hours before, and within a short distance of Paris, the decrees were unknown to me; and by the side of legal opposi tion I saw, on my arrival, revolutionary and unchained insurrection. The journals, the courts of justice, the secret societies, the assemblies of peers and deputies, the national guard, the citizens and the. populace, the bankers and . the labouring classes, the drawing-rooms and the streets, every regulated or unlicensed element of society either yielded to or pushed forward the genetal movement. On the first day the cry was, ' Long live the Chirter I Down with the Ministers !' On the second, Up with liberty I Down with the Bourbons I Long live the Repub lic I Long live Napoleon the Second r The decrees of the preceding eve had been: seized on as: the signal for exploding all'the infirmities, hopes, ptojects, and political desires accumulated during sixteen years. " Amongst the evils with , which our age and country are afflicted, one of the heaviest is, that no seri o u s t rou bl e can burst forth in any part of the social edifice, but im mediately the entire building is in danger of subversion; there exists a contagion of ruin which spreads with ter rible rapidity. Great public agitations, - extreme abuses of power, are not new facts in the world. More than once nations have had to struggle, not only by law but by force, for the maintenance and recovery of their rights. In Germany, in Spain, in England before the reign of Charles 1., in France as far back as the seventeenth cen tury, the political bodies and the people have often opposed the King, even by arms, without feeling either the neces sity or right of changing the dynasty of their Sovereigns or the form of their government. Resistance and insurrec tion had their curbs and liinits, Whether arising from the state of society, or the conscience and good sense of men ; the entire system was not continually in the hazard. In the present day, and with us, each important olitical struggle resolves itself into a question of life and death. Peeple and parties, in their lAind excitement, rush on the instant to the last extremes ; resistance suddenly transforms itself into insurrection; and insurrection 'into revolution. Every storm becomes the deluge." Commencing with the struggle which placed upon the throne that monarch with whose fortunes his own were - so closely Connected, this second volume traces the - sternly events of the next two years. M. Guizot'a own Mini-' stry of the Interior, the trial of the Ministers Charles X., and the wild scenes of anarchy sue ceeaiuB " • the accession of M. Cassimer Perier to office, his one eorous government, and the fall of the Cabinet . h' death by the fatal epidemic of 1832, are incluae s • a es. The volume leaves Marshal Soult just hawiri.,, the Cabinet of October, 1832, of which M. aiirff. was himself a member as Minister of Public Instruc tion. The . exciting troubles of those times, the policy of concession advocated by some of the Libe rals, in addition to the policy of resistance stoutly maintained by M. Guizot and his friends, are all vividly portrayed. The King himself, notwith standing M. Guizot's efforts to the contrary,' does not appear in a very favourable light. His weak ness,- his obstinacy, his vacillation, his narrow mindedness are plainly manifested, and totally un fitted him for the responsible office of the ruler of a great state 'in such' troubled and difficult times. The following extract gives a scene from the Cham ber of Deputies on the trial of the MiniSters of Charles X.:— "A more weighty event, the trial of the .Ministers, was approaching. Scarcely retired from office, I hastened to take a very decided position on this question. During the sitting of the 9th of November, 1830, certain expressions of M. Odilon-Barrot on the address of the Chamber of Deputies against the punishment of death for political offences, sup plied me with a suitable opportunity. While on my way to the tribune, as I passed M. Casimir Perier, Your efforts will be futile,' whispered he to me in a low voice ; ' you will not save the head of M. de Polignac.' 1 expected better from the public feeling, and I expressed my own in a few words. I take no personal interest,' I said, 'in the fallen minis ters ; I have no ties with any of them ; but I feel proudly convinced that it belongs - to the honour of the nation, and to its historic credit, not to shed their blood. After having, changed the government and renewed the face of the coun try, it is truly miserable to prosecute a paltry justice by the side of that immense justice which has struck, not four men, but an entire government, a total dynasty. On the question of blood, France desires nothing that shall be profitless. All revolutions have shed blood through inflamed passions, and not from necessity. Three months, six months after —that blood has recoiled back upon themselves. Let us not to day re-enter on the old track, which we avoided even during the combat.' The Chamber was visibly moved to sympathy. As I was returning to my place, M. Royer-Collard stopped me, and warmly pressing my hand, said, You may make greater speeches, but you will never do yourself more honour.' M. de Martignac came to place himself by my side, and thanked me with sincere emotion. 'lt is a sad pity,' said he, 'that this cause is not to be de cided here and at this moment. It would be gained.' "As regards the speaker, and even the listeners, the im pressions of the tribune are so vivid, that we are apt to look upon them as decisive. Facts are not slow to dissipate this illusion. When great questions of government are in de bate, eloquence is at once powerful and insufficient. It prepares, but achieves nothing, and should be employed without too much confidence. Our debates in the Chamber of Deputies had certainly elucidated true and political jus tice, and impressed many minds with a favourable senti ment. But when the trial actually commenced, the diffi • culty and danger continued to be enormous ; and during eight days, the Cabinet with all its power, M. de La Fayette with all his popularity, King Louis-Philippe with his well - timed, able, and humane dexterity, the House of Peers with its courageous wisdom, exhausted themselves in efforts, ever on the verge of failure, to restrain the underhand revo lutionary practices and improvident fury which sought respectively, in the death of the accused parties, their grati fication and success. During this period of action, the Chamber of Deputies, which could take no part, abstained from speaking." Another interesting passage is that on the fate of Poland.. In denouncing that shameful partition, M. Guizot echoes the opinion of most right-think ing men : "It would have been a great happiness and honour for Europe if the Popish question could have been treated and settled in 1831, after the same mode. There has ever been, and there is still, in the destiny of Poland a remarkable and exclusive characteristic. Conquests and dismemberments of states have abounded in Europe ; provinces and kingdoms have repeatedly changed masters and names ; treaties have succeeded wars; time has hallowed treaties; territorial and national changes, in spite of original bitterness, have been consecrated by. peace and the lapse of years, and accepted, not only byindifferent spectators, but by the very people that have been compelled to undergo their yoke. Nothing like this has happened to Poland. Before long, a century will have rolled over since the first partition of that unhappy coun try. I know not how many diplomatic acts have acknow ledged its new masters. Events of immense importance have changed the destiny and absorbed the interest of Europe. In the midst of so many iniquities and fresh mis fortunes, the fate of Poland has never ceased to be acknow ledged and felt as a European crime and calamity. It was the murder of a whole nation, as her friends have said, with terrible truth. In vain have their adversaries replied that Poland herself, her detestable institutions, her blind quar rels, her execrable anarchy, led to her overthrow, and that national suicide _provoked foreign assassination. The ex planations of history are not judicial sentences, and argu ment avails nothing against the strong sentiment of public conviction. For more than sixty years Poland has ceased to figure amongst nations, and as often as the nations of Europe rise in agitation, Poland also begins to stir. Is it a phantom, or a people P I cannot say. Poland may be dead, but she is not forgotten. "By the side of this arresting fact, I have remarked an other no less extraordinary :—Since the conscience of Europe has been disturbed by the fate of Poland, important changes have been accomplished. Many powerful and different authorities have disposed of nations. Monarchy or republic, conque ror or congress, none have ever seriously attempted to call back Poland'from her grave, or to heal this European wound. At the moment when this murder was committed, neither old France nor old England raised an arm to pre vent it ; new France and new England have not acted with more efficacy. The re-establishment of P i aland never entered into the real or sincere designs of the French Revolution or the Emperor. Words have been uttered, perspectives have been opened, devotion has been called into brilliant display by exciting hopes, but nothing more. Extreme misfortune alone has infused some transitory illusions into all these falsehoods. The whole world has made use of Poland, but no one has ever assisted her.

From our own grazing districts, the receipts of beasts fresh up were again limited as to number, and in but mid dling condition. The attendance of butchers was tolerably large, uet the beef trade was not so active as on Monday last. However, in most instances, that day's advance in the quotations was supported. The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cam bridgeshire amounted to 1,660 Scots, short-horns, and crosses ; from ether parts of England, 350 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 327 Scots and crosses ; and, from Ireland, 80 oxen, &c. • The show of all kinds of sheep was again very moderate and their quality was by no means first rate. There was a steady demand for all breeds, at very full prices. The primest old Downs, in the wool, sold at 6d—out of the wool, 5s 4d per 81b.

Two of them will well repay the reader for perusal.- One of them is a sketch of the career of Madame de Rumford, by. M. Guizot, who gives in it an in teresting picture of the saloons of the 18th century where that :light, witty, scoffing philosophy flourished, sparkling with the wit of Voltaire and the brilliant sophistries of a crowd of pleasant sceptics, soon .to be shadowed by the Reign of Terror and crushed by the guillotine. Madame de Rumford was previously the wife of the celebrated Lavoisier, and devoted herself to the study of science with an ardour that rivalled her husband. She assisted him in his labours—she translated, trail- - scribed, and aided him in every possible way, even learning to engrave that lie might be sure of faith ful illustrations. He was 3ne of the many illus trious victims of the guillotine. The other article referred to is by Madame Guizot, whose charming writings are widely known in this country. It is full of thought, sense and feeling. It is on " Charity, its place in woman's life," and was originally written in 1828, but the numbers published were limited and M. Guizot avails himself of this opportunity of giving it the publicity it deserves. A thorough knowledge of the wants of the poor, as well as a sense of what' her sisters , might accomplish if each would do what she could, is plainly manifested ; and it is interesting to know that Madame Guizot's practice fully coincided with her precepts. In the time of the cholera M. Guizot describes her advice and aid as being constantly sought, and tells how she freely mingled with the. sick and suffering without thought of self. When completed, these . memoirs will give a statesman's view of France during twenty years, many of them troubled and revolutionary —all of them.. more or less im portant. However we may differ from the policy pursued by M. Guizot in office, and the opinions maintained by him in opposition, and, without entering on the complicated questions of those remote days our readers are aware that we have often done so, we are able to welcome his memoirs as a 'valuable illustration of the history of the time, and an important contribution to the political records of European .States. The trans lator has fulfilled his share of the task with ability and success. The book reads fluently, and without any idiomatic phrases, and we shall await the suc ceeding volumes with interest and expectation. The Bertrams : a Novel. By Anthony Trollope, author of ",Barchester Towers " "Doctor Thorne," &c. 3 vols. Ch a p man and ilall. Those who desire to peruse a sensible novel should obtain this work. Here they will find no effusions of sentiment, and no exaggerations of feeling and passion, but a. sober estimate of men and things, and a vigorous exposition of events that are of daily occurrence,. It is satisfactory to notice the great improvement in the style of this talented author: It so often occurs that powerful writers detaiorate from their first productions, that it is particularly gratifying, to find a new work n'o't only possessing increased force ,and brilliancy, but alsw enhanced by greater refinement . of,t9ue.and- grace of-exprdssion. There are many persons met with in this story, who are all, accurately described in their peciiliar positions. The most admirable character is that of George Bertram, and he is perfectly natural in his manner and bearing, which is not always the case with the shining ornaments of a narrative. How ever, it is to be questioned if Harcourt is not the Most striking sketch in the work. He is a masterly representation of a man of the world—dashing, daring, and distinguished alike by his superior me f. eeowments and his energetic self-advance i it suited his ii.perip a ulous in his conduct when an actual triumph seemsnobler incentive than thoughts. The plaudits of to-da4r,gyell in 'his ambition ; he cared little and thought less oYtruW: enduring and still higher triumph, which' on many an after-morrow might sound his praises, and register his name among Fame's immortal votaries. The bright but transient success which he obtained only tended to unfit him for again struggling with the tide of adversity, and his conduct when he was in the ascendant had not impressed men's minds in a favourable manner. " Since the day when he had hesitated to resign his high office, his popu larity had gone down - like a leaden plum. met in the salt water. He had become cross grained, ill-tempered, and morose. No legal lumi nary in the memory of man had risen so quickly and fallen so suddenly. It had not been given him to preserve an even mind when . adversity came upon him." The last sad-scene in'the career of this gifted man is a solemn one. Distracted by his pnblie failures and his private misfortisneA, harassed by the pressure of enormous debts which he had incurred in his wild venture to make a show before the world, he proved that his mind was unequal to the test that distinguishes the genuine from the counterfeit; it could not withstand the evil day, it had been trained to bask in the sunshine, not trained to weather the storms with a bold spirit and an iron will. "He was a coward, misfortune had come upon him, and he was conquered at once." The morning after his last disappointment, his exclusion from the will of his wife's grandfather, the news was spread abroad that Sir Henry Har court had destroyed himself. George Bertram was of a very different class; he was also eminently qualified to distinguish himself in the world, but he hesitated from one reason and another. He wanted decision of mind ; he was too apt to depend on the fancies of the hour, and the suggestions of others instead of forming his own plans in study and solitude, and then adhering to them -with energy. Unfortunately for him he early became attached to Caroline Waddington, a lady of Con siderable endowments, but not calculated to prove an efficient adviser to one so easily influenced as was George Bertram. Her conduct was reprehen sible in the highest degree ; she dissuaded Bertram from any of those higher aims to which in the enthusiasm of his nature he was prone to aspire. She endeavoured to bring downlhis thoughts to the level of her cold and worldly sentiments, and thus in a great measure destroyed the promise of his noble youth. She also unintentionally marred his success in the very sphere in which she desired him to shine, for it was in consequence of her conduct that their engagement was annulled, and hence dire offence Was given to their rich old relation, Mr. Bertram, who had set his heart on the marriage and who, in consequence of its non-occurrence, left his enormous wealth for other objects. This was no disappointment to George, who did not care for money, but it was a disastrous circumstance for his advancement ; and, though money is not all that is needed, it is a desirable adjunct in the struggle with the world. The chief evil that Caroline wrought on the mind of Bertram was in lowering his estimate of human nature. In clouding the brightness of his hopes, she dimmed the whole of his after life. He could have borne disappointment in another form ; had death or accident intervened to pronounce the doom of his love, he might have been resigned, but it was bitter to find cold calculation returned for his ardent affection ; while he was constant to the shrine of love, she was intent only on the worship of Mammon. However, Caroline Waddington worked out a far more lamentable doom for herself in becoming the wife of Harcourt. That man had been early associated with Bertram, but proved himself false to friendship, and was the immediate cause of the quarrel between the lovers. From the moment when he discovered that Caroline was the supposed heiress of old Bertram, he set to work, and, having achieved the separation, ho offered himself to Caroline. She felt that nothing could ever efface her early love, for in her peculiar way she was attached to Bertram; but pride and pas sion finally triumphed over every other considera tion, and she became Lady Harcourt. After some painful passages in their domestic life, she left her husband, and resided with her grandfather. The life of old Mr. Bertram is ably described.' He was not destitute of friendly feelings nor devoid of generous impulses ; but he lived only for his money. " The iron of his wealth had entered into his very soul. He had made half a million of money, an d that had been his god, hi s on l y go d — an d alde r " , men have but one god.

He followed this wise counsel, and after his re turn he convinced his mother that he was his own master, and he and Adela were united. They were very poor, but that did not distress them, and their pure tastes and simple pleasures formed a strong contrast to the misery of the croity Har * -,,;~-- court, and the cunning Caroline, the votaries of worldly wealth and honour. Taken altogether this mast 'be regarded as a novel of a superior class, for it contains some characters that are finely . drawn, and some passages of life that are power fully narrated. It is written throughout in an eloquent and impressive style, and its numerous dramatis persona are sketched in a way that shows the author to possess a considerable knowledge of men and manners. SPORTING NOTES. ON NOTHING. As I anticipated, the meeting at Warwick was more successful than the programme had promised, and Mr. Merry, by his earnest endeavours to make things square, took a new lease of popularity. No clerk of the course; after all, deserves better of racing men than Mr. Merry, who has certainly distributed amongst them much of the money which he has received. Several complaints were uttered at Warwick with respect to the refractory jockeys, and " the Admiral" was once so indignant, that he uttered a wish to be near certain of them with a whip. He seems determined to keep his eye on the principal delinquents, and there is, therefore, a prospect of the offenders being marked and ulti mately punished. The racing really requires little comment. King at Arms won the Trial Stakes, and reversed the hopes of the Derby backers of Rainbow. He has grown into a remarkably nice horse, and seems to have plenty of pluck and stout ness. The form which he and Gladiolus have dis played must have produced a telling effect on Kingston's subscription list. The reputa- . tion which preceded Oxford was not unwar ranted. He is a remarkably fine twoLyear old, but requires time. The defeat which Rattlebone sustained would indicate that the youngsters previously brought out were a - very " dicky lot," and until Northampton we are not likely to 'See sa two-year-old of sound racing pre tensions. The heavy - weight experiment was tried, but it failed, and deals of courses are not likely to sacrifice the interests of a meeting by adopting a theory which only receives a partial acceptation. Yellow Rose was not brought with much prominence into the betting on the Northamptonshire Stakes by her success. Still she will be formidable next week. The steeplechases were successful, but a fashion to write them down prevails, and the cry of " What would Lottery have •done with the horses that ran at 'Warwick," is all bosh. French turfites have thus early in the season come out in great force. They were well repre sented at 'Warwick, and Count F. de Legrange was a steward fully acquainted with the business of his office. -Birmingham and Coyentry meetings . are the fixtures for the current week, but I know little or nothing about the intended competitors at either place. I shall not, therefore, attempt to guess the winners, and. shall not indulge in any visions of the future until the Northampton week. A FRESH MAN. LAW - INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DA Y. ) HOUSE OF LORDS. JUDGMENT.-HOAHE AND OTHERS V. DRESSER, ANOTHER. It will be remembered that this is an appeal against a decision of the Lords Justices of Appeal, in Chancery, re versing a decision of Vice-Chancellor Kindersley in favour of the appellant...' The cause was argued szteral days last • week and now came on for judgment. ..The Lord Chancellor,. in delivering judgment, which his tordship did at great length, going very minutely into the 1 .47•4tt6.-,iya . b . etween the parties, observed that it was to be .an cifila . cause had arisen between two highly respectable merchants of the city of London. It appeared that two of timber contracted for had been consigned to M751141-T s , and Company, of the value of X 1,312 ls. 9d. Messrs. claimed the cargoes as part of the for,' and sent their clerk to Messrs. ind4P____ eted fi ve e lt4 6 . id Company Company' • desiring them to send. them the . . UM: - of lading of, the two can of timber to enable them to compare it with.the invoice in their possessicin, in timating that they had previous claims against Mr: 'Norr bon in Sweden, the consignor of the cargoes to Messrs. Hoare and Company; and these documents would either. be returned, or a bill of exchange for the value of the cargoes, £1,312, ls. 9d. would be accepted by Dresser and-Company and sent to them. They kept the documents, did not accept,the bill in due time, and claimed a lien on the cargoes for previous advances madei to the foreign consignor, Mr. Norrbon. Meantime Mr. Norrbon drew bills of exchange for the value of the cargoes en Messrs. Hoare and Com- Hy, and the question raised was whether the appellants, Hare and Company, were entitled to the value of the cargoes consigned to them. Vice-Chancellor Kindursley allowed and preferred their claim. The Lord Justices dis allowed their claim, and preferred the claim of Messrs. Dresser and - Company to the cargoes in question. His Lordship on the authority of the case of Baker referred to, considered that the decision of Vice-Chancellor Kiu dersly was right in preferring the claim of the appellants, Messrs. Hoare and Company, to the cargoes in question, in respect that they had accepted bills drawn upon them by their consignor before Messrs. Dresser and Company gave them notice of their claim ; and his Lordship was not pre pared to say, either in law or in equity, that Messrs. Dresser and Company had a good claim on the cargoes of their debtor specially consigded, if not sued for in duo time. Lord Cranworth, Lord Wensleydale, and Lord Kings down delivered opinions, entirely agreeing in the opinion of the Lord Chancellor. The Lord Chancellor allowed the appeal ; affirmed the decision of Vice-Chancellor Kindersley ; reversed the deci sion of the Lords Justices, and directed the Court of chan cery to allow the appellant's claim for £1,374 with costs. POLICE .. INTELLIGENCE.-(2711S DAY.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A MILITARY RITFFIAN.—John Ick, a private of the Scots Fusiliers, at present staying at the Tower, and who appeared in the dock without his belt, was charged with committing a violent assault on George Frewin, 611 A, under the following circumstances. The constable was unable to attend, owing to the serious nature of the injuries he had received, and a certificate was put in from the house surgeon of St . Geor g e ' s Hos p ital, s tating that ho was not in afit condition to attend the court and would not be for a week.
