CITY, Two o'CLocK. The advicea received this morning from most m the manufacturing districts state that very little alteration has taken place in the general state of trade. At Birmingham the iron trade has been very quiet, the recent sales of insolvents' stocks having produced a depreciatory effect upon prices. The fancy trades of the district are very quiet. • - At Manchester the market has been languid, a nd the tendency of prices has been in buy ers' favour ; business in yarns has been very quiet, and the aggregate operations of the week hi most departments hate been inconsiderable. At Bradford the demand for piece goods had been extremely limited. A few German houses had Purchased to a moderate extent, but not on a suffi cient scale to influence the market. In the Woollen Cloth trade at Leeds there is littlelalteration to 'Vert ; the manufacturers are moderately em ployed, and some inquiries had been made for goods suitable for the autumn. The Hosiery trade of Leicester continues dull, and the wool market inactive. At Nottingham the Lace trade has shown a slight improvement, and Purchases to some extent have been made for the American markets. The hardware trades of Shef geld and Wolverhampton have been very quiet. At Walsall rather more business was doing in the tie and japan trades, but there is no change of hnportance. Letters from Liverpool report that the Cotton Market on Saturday closed steadily, and prices of a ll descriptions were unaltered. The sales were estimated 7,800 bales, 1,500 of which were taken by t he speculators, and 500 by the exporters. The 3 4 tailway Share Market presented a quiet appear 20 - 44 ee, and only a limited business was transacted, 1 1. 1 at former quotations. et. A decided increase has taken place in the general se. 124 demand for discount accommodation, and the cur- sse rent terms in the open market have slightly ad lmeed. The requirements of trade are larger, and s t . a considerable amount of capital has been also 10 absorbed for loan and other purposes ;it is now ex- E t l'eeted that th e i nqu i r y w ill expan d , an d t h e result, s s o ill that case, would be a further rise in the rate of M discount. Money can still be o bt a i ne d a t 21 1 per 25 t ent., and the supply is liberal, but the tendency 10 Al less favourable than it has been for some months 20 pet. Th ere i s no pro b a bi l i ty of any pressure being e h this year, because the improvement in corn ree must be very gradual, and speculation being atifctive, a comparatively small supply of capital * ill suffice for that purpose. A large influx of specie has been announced to -2;l, vie.,67,591/. b y th e T yne, from the Braz i ls, 131 h 74 51. by the Alhambra, f rom Gib ra lt ar , 22,600/. by the Niagara, from the United States, and 47',200/, by the Atrato, from the West Indies. t . el. special general meeting of the Eastern Coun tbtets Railway Company has been held this day, when sanotion of the proprietors was given by the 11: 7 3 d company, to abandon portion of the New 'pa:kat Rail wa y, an d a l so a ra il way to t h e Ri ver " tnies, at Galleons Reach;'also for amalgamating h the East Suffolk, the Yarmouth and Had 'l:oe, and the Lowestoft and Beccles Railway antes; and thirdly, to enable the Waveney Iley Railway Company to alter their line 1 7t 4 reen Bungay and Beccles, and for other pur t:Pk's.

General Post-office, June 12. THE AUSTRALIAN MAIL CONTRACT. LIVYRP OOL June 12.—We believe that the state me nt w i t h re f erence ' to the Cunard Company having taken the Australian Mail contract is premature, although, in th e event of certain conditions being fulfilled, th e company have made arrangements Rith the shareholders of the Euro pean and Australian Company for carrying on the ser vice. Upon certain circumstances not yet determined the establiy hinent of the line depends, and it would be unwise, therefore, to anticipate the result. The hope, however, that Liverpool, being the centre of trade with those colonies for England, Ireland, and Scotland, will be made the port of departure for the line ; and, if our hope is fulfilled, we anticipate the best results, feeling assured from the precedents of the Cunard Company that the business will not, be entered upon unless, in all human probability, success is certain. The bare an nouncement that such an alliance is probable will, we have no doubt, be bailed with the greatest satibfaction by all classes at the antipodes, ROYAL Feeee HOSPITAL, GRAY 'd INN.

Author of " The Life of Marie de Medicis, " The City of the Sultan," Ases 3. vole. Hurst and • Blackett. • The numerous class of novel-readers will welcome this work, which is considerably superior to most of the fictions of the day. The idea of a poor rela tion beingdomiciled in a wealthy mansionwith those of kindred blood; but not congenial in spirit or kindly of heart, may have occurred before to a novel-writer, but 'in the working out of the 'plot there is considerable ingenuity and originality dis played. ,Ella Ashton is. a finely-drawn character. She inherited tho spirit of her father's noble 'reuse, joined to the entbusiwen and fiery nature, which befitted, the, land, of the sun th a t h a d g i ven her mother birth. Some of the most striking peculia rities of her disposition were also the result of the strange tuition of her childoodi and the unusual seclusion of her youth. Lady Harriette, the wife of her uncle, is 'described as the imper sonation of mean ambition and selfish devotion. She was too strong a character to be of no effect in her generation. She must have swayed for good or evil. Unhappily for her family, the latter was the choice, and she contrived to meddle with every thing, disarrange favourite schemes, and suleVert the cherished hopes of a ; this she effected with perfect sangfroid and indifference. Perhaps it was not entirely to be regretted for Ella, that her early years were overshadowed by the presence of this evil fairy, who seemed fated to spoil her happiness. What she. lost in light-heartednesz, she gained in self comman d. Th e constant courage with which she bore minor annoyances, gave her strength and endurance for the darker and sterner . conflicts of life which . await all, but especially the young and friendless. Sir Hercules was really attached to his niece, the child of the brother from whom be had parted in youth, never to heer of him again till the messenger who brought the child told of the father's death in far-off land, where he had gone to.seek a for tune, but found an early grave. The dexterity is considerable with which this part of the narrative is conveyed to us: While revealing nothing we are left to infer that there will be something hereafter. Long years passed from the day when the faithful Ayah presented the orphan to the baronet, to the yet more eventful one, when that same tried and stedfast friend returned to make another offering. In consequence of the death of his confidential trustee following on that of Horace Ashton, the enormous fortune of the latter, invested under an assumed name, .was unknown to those I concerned, and the Indian child was brought up in supposed poverty, while one of the wealthiest of England's heiresses. The discovery of some hidden deposits in the banker's house in Calcutta, led to the restoration of Mr. Ashton's papers which had been lost, and the Ayah, return. ing to England, brought them will her, to her adopted child. The imprudence of Lady Harriette bad brought the family to the verge of ruin, when these precious documeuts were discovered, and Ella felt repaid for her sorrows in reatoriug peace to the suffering mind of her kind uncle, who had always possessed the will to be of service to her, but cir cuurst tncee had militated against him. Lady Har riette did not possess the feelings that could be touched by an act of genet oaity, nor the heart that could feel reproach for its past offences. It is therefore satisfactory to find her assailed where alone she was vulnerable, in her pride. The gorgeous visions of wealth in which she had in dulged were not realised,. till the tide of riches set in, in the fortune of that gieshe had alwayssneerecl at fur her poverty. .This was a bitter thought ft'r her, and other worldly schemes and subterfuees proved illusory and unay.iiling. The manner in whice she influenced her deughter Florence for evil is strikingly shown, and the evil results that ensued from the lessons are made manifest in a natural manner. Madame Despr,:aux, the French governess, is a genuine instance of good nature, and a kind hea.t7 which it is pleasing to meet with in the house of so worldly a votary as Ledy Har riette. It was to her early instructions that E'la owed much, and not till she was gone did she really feel alone. Horace, the sou of Sir Hercules, is represented as a rohle character, partaking more of his uncle's disposition than his father's, although he followed the example of the baronet in being too easily ruled by his manoeuvring mother. There is great ability throughout this work, and many of its pa?sages are most exciting in their interest. The variety of the personages introduced, the bril liancy with which the deacriptioss are drawn, the vigour of expression which characterises the re flective portions, all combine to create for this novel much that may claim attention and command regard. While its readers admire the talent that shines pre-einnently in its pages, they may also appreciate the purity of its tone, and the integrity of its purpose. Friends at their own, Fireside. By Mrs. Ellis, author of " Women of England," cfec. 2 vols. Bentley. Mrs. Ellis has been long known as a writer on moral and social subjects, but her present work manifests a decided improvement in style and sub stance over her former ones. It shows us " pic tures of the private life of the people called Quakers," an undertaking for , which the authoress is emi nently fitted, having been hrought up as one of the Society of Friends. The kindly intention and im partiality with which she has performed her task will be readily acknowledged by most readers, while the souudne3s of her judgment, and justice of her conclusions, will be apparent to all who aro not influenced by long standing prejudices or early impressions. It had long been a favourite idea with her, she tells us iu the preface, to endeav to give a faithful picture of the domestic life and social system of the Friends, which can on'y be thoroughly understood. and appreciated by one of themselves. The incidents and actors in the story are entirely imaginary ; but the general details and descriptions bear the stamp of fidelity and truth. While differing from their cpinion4, she Las en deavoured to set the Friends in the most pleasing light, by showing their goodness, their hospitality, their mutual support and assistance, their care of poorer members, their love of order and harmony, their gentle kindliness and domestic comfort. Tao ", femaTe Friends," as they are styled, are charming characters, full of womanly softness and gracious dignity ; though occasionally some gayer spirit, of a less "neutral-tinted" nature, rebels against the monotonous moderation of thought, speech, action, ani attire—thought desirab.4 for female Friend,. In alluding to this favourite term of speech, the authoress tells us that, when a child, she was not allowed to say, " I am sure." She exclaims with reason, "Alas for human nature ! to what out bursts of feeling, to what explosions of extrava gance, has this unnatural .restraint given rise." There are many persons in the story 'whose varying, tempers and dispositions are happily con t raste d , showing how absurd it is -to fit one mould to all charac ers, and how what is only a' pleasant and safe boundary to some is a prison -door to others ; bow the soft and quiet nature with few wants, few aspirations, feels as little sympathy for the fervent desires of- a more ardent spirit as the dweller by a cool mountain stream can know of the burning thirst that consumes the desert traveller. . It would be as absurd to expect that all mankind should grow to the same height as to exact a perfect unison of tastes, powers, and sympathies, to one narrow rule. The chief inte rest of the story centres in the family of Jacob Law, though many friends and neighbours are pro minent. Jacob Law is a good, though passionate man, and , his wife, a narrow-minded woman, who is wrapt up in her own peculiar theological notions, fancying herself- "called" to the part of a female fminister, mixes little with ;her family. Susannah, the elder daughter, isa perfect specimen, by nature and education, of a fee,ale Friend, and her younger sister, Lydia, though more fond of variety, and declining to wear the necessary cap is of a gentle nature. It is in the only son, Reuben, that the evil effects of the system show themselves. Mrs. Ellis has drawn this life-like character with painful fidelity. Of an excellent disposition though weak principles, ho is ruined by mistaken treatment. A sincere affection fora young lady not of the sect is checked; and - the disappointed youth, sent to a house of outward severity and inward license, is led by.evil companions and harsh judg ments into frightful dissipation. His death and repentance bring comfort to the sorrowing family, but the shadow rests on some more thought ful ones, who felt that gentle -treatment, might have spared the wanderer many a sad and thorny step. In speak ing in general terms of these principle; Mrs. Ellis says :- 0 , It is ever thus in the affairs of this lower wcrld, that .the amootberand more uniform the surface of the current, the rougher are the rapids when they do occur, and the steeper the descent where the pent-up waters fall. It ism r thus when the active principles of nature are so farianored as to suppose that human beings can bo managed like machines. It is ever thus where business is pursued as the only lawful occupation ; and where the heart, with all the spontaneous affectioos and impulses, is treated as nothing snore than the creation of an idle fancy, or a romantic dream. What, in fact, can be more ominous of future danger to a family than the habit of supposing, because the hands arts demurely folded, that they are incapable of mischief; that because tLere is an outward conformity with decorum in look and manner, there is no burning passion, or rebellious holing beneath ; or that because there is kept up from day to day a constant strain upon the powers of calculation as to number, weight, and substance, or any other qualities of mere matter, there is no wandering of imagination into the forbidden delis of beauty and enjoyment, all the more Rambles iit the islands of Corsica and Sardinia. By Thomas Forester, authcr of "Norway in 1843-49," &c. Longman. A vo!ume of travels which conducts 113 to a spot, which, though familiar by name or iu historical annals, is little kno wn an d se ld om v i s i ted by the adventurous tourists of the present day, may claim the advantage of novelty. The work before us possesses certainly this attraction, and it is further euhsnced by the pleasant style of the author and the tasteful pencil of his companion. The writer, who is an experienced traveller, bad previously. visited Northern Europe, and was desirous of form ing eome acquaintance with the habits and charac teristics of a people, whose island he affirms was less known in England than New Zealand. With a view of qualifying himself for enlightening the English public respec..ing these brave an l romantic islanders, the author, accompanied by his friend the artist, set out on a rambling expedition untrammelled by lug gage, couriers, voitures, or other inconveniences. Since the visit of Boswell, nearly a centuryago, only one E eglishman has written on Corsica, though the wild and romantic character of the country and its people, the singular and eventful careers of some of its rulers, would seem likely to attract the attention of the lovers of the stirring and picturesque. Pascal Paoli, the eminentchief, whose long life was devoted to the welfare of his countrymen, and whose system of constitutional government closely resembled our own, was in power when Boswell visited the island. He was received by the Corsican chief with marked attention, and he installed him es one of his heroes. "Nest to his devotion to the English sage, was the homage he paid to the Corsican chief." The Corsican vendetta has often figured in tragic tales and wild legends, but few romances can excel the truth. The picture which the author gives of the reckless waste of life in these feuds, which often arise from a mere trifle, is startling. The system is now being checked by law. The following speech of their guide shows how lightly such deeds of blood are regarded by the people :-- "It was perhaps this idea which led me to question Antoine on a subject we had hitherto avoided. " 'Are there any outlaws harboured in these wild Mountains 1" " Not now ; they have been hunted out ; all that is changed ; but blood has often been spilt in this maguis. Oee terrible vendetta was taken not far from hence; but that was many years ago. I will show you the spot." " Antoine strode rapidly onward ; and we overtook the woman, who had rode on. In ten minutes we were rounding the mass of rook crowning the pass. " This was the spot," said Antoine taking a step towards rne, the rest of the party having passed ; and ke added calmly, but with decision, and a slightly tri umphant air, ‘II did it myself." ("J'ai donne le coup moi-melne.") . "It may ba well supposed that I stood aghast. We had not then learnt with what little reserve such deeds of blood are avowed in Corsica 1 how thoroughly they are extenuated by the popular code of morals or honour. Such avowals were afterwards made to us with far less feeling than Antoine betrayed indeed, with the utmost levity. "Je lui ai donne tin coup," mentioning th e in dividual and giving the details, was the climax of a story of some sudden quarrel or lone-harboured animosity. It was uttered with the sang froid with which an Eng liahmaa would say, I knocked the fellow down I' and it might have been 'our impresedion that nothing more was meant, but for the circumstances related, which left ne doubt on the subject. When a Corsican says that he has given his enemy a coup, the phrase' is a' decorous ellipse for coup-de-flail. Occasionally, perhaps, it may mean a coup-de-polynard, which amounts to much the same thing ; but since carrying the French knife has been rigorously prohibited by the French Government, stabbing Las not been much in vogue in Corsica. Now, it is to be h ope d, the murderous poi/ ,has e qua lly di-appeared." The bandits are another specimen of crime encou raged by tradition. We are told that " the sym pathies of vast numbers of the population are with the bandits. They are the heroes of the popular tales and caneoni : one hears, of them from one end of the island to the other." The: career of Pascal Paoli is full of int( rest, and a full account is given of his efforts to secure the national independence.

Afraid' of the evil with out, they have neglected to provide against that within; and, acting too much upon the negative system, hav e taken it for granted, that a condition of apparent empti ness and nothingness, must necessarily be one of in: ea eerier', purity, and peace. The. positive culture of al the human faculties as the natural inheritance of man received from the hand of pod, and the dire c ti on of such faculties into chan ne l s o f healthy and wholesome exercise, even when they have no relation to the claims of trade or commerce, would seem, in form er ti mes, never to have constitut e d an y portion of the philosophy of this otherwise shrewd and intelligent • Society.

"Of course, these remarks refer more to the past than the present—to a time when music was Ito rare a thing to the members of this society, that in 'cases where an ear for music was a natural gift, the desire for music amounted to an absolute passion, not unfrequently in dulged in stolen opportunitiee, and at the cost of much family disunion and grief. " Whether from similar causes, it is, difficult to say, but whilst placing the average morale of the Friends decidedly high, it must be confessed that in the midst of the peaceful calm of their outward lives, there have oc casionally arisen solitary instances of the most terrific disruption of the laws of propriety and order, and the grossest deviation from the line of right. That such in stances have occurred chiefly where there has been no real spiritual earnestness for their children's good on the part of the parents, it is but fair to suppose—chiefly where there has been a mere outward or nominal restraint with, perhaps, excessive eagerness in the pur suit of money ; and consequently a very defective exem plification of the Christian character in those who held the reins of government." As is usually the case with republics and demo crats the Friends submit to a , species of social tyranny among themselves, which many people would find perfectly intolerable. Thus several marriages are broken off in this work because "unsuitable." The elders are "consulted" on domestic matters, and the authoress speaks of " the strange and almost inconceivable power which is exercised by the Society of Friends over the minds and actions of the different members of their own body." It is true that .no personal in terference would be allowed but by those - appointed by the general body for the maintenance of rule, order, and precedent. The style of the work is good and the story pleasing, but the chief interest is derived from the faithful picture of this remark able people, so full, doubtless, of sincerity and donifstic virtue, yet so sadly overlooking the charity that " thinketh no evil." The dangers of too great repression of the pure and natural tastes of human nature are strongly d , velt upon, but there are other dangers no less fearful be cause lots apparent.

In the absencee ofn a vigorous justice, and a sufficient military or police for the protection of property, a voluntary association sprung up, consisting of arme d men, under the name of Barancelli, who, for a sort of black mail paid by the peasants, undertook to recover their stolen cattle, or ins demnify them for the loss. They fell, however, into dis repute, and I believe have been disbanded. Banditissu has been finally and effectually extinguished in Corsica, as rata' ed in a former part of this work, by a total dis armament of the population, without respect of person's, or of the purposes for which firearms may be properly required. So stern a measure is neither suited to the genius of the Sardes or their rulers. With a numerous resident gentry, who, with their retainers, and the great mass of the population, are passionately fond of the chase, and with wastes so stocked with destructive wild animal 4, the total prohibition of firearms must be bath unpopular and impolitic. The law, however, requires that no one shall carry them without a license. But it is not, or cannot be, enforced, for we saw them in every one's hands." One great drawback to the commerciaLprogresa of the island is the want of a mercantile marine. "One subject of special interest in connection with Sardinian progress has been reserved for a more par ticular notice than we have been able to afford most others, both on account of its importance, and its hav ing much engaged the atteution of the master-mind most conversant with the situation of affairs. At the outsct of our rambles in Sardinia, it was observed that the Sardes are averse to - -maritime occupations ; the Dies() of La Madelena, who are so empl o y e d t o some extent, being adistinct race. Sardinia has no mercantile marine. Signor Sala states that there are only four or five vessels belonging to natives, and, of these, two are the property of the same rich owner. Considering the advantages of her position, and the products the island is capable of supplying for an active commerce, he considers the want of a mercan tile marine one of Sardinia's greatest misfortunes, and treats with much good sense of the means calculated to promote its estal)lishment. "General La Msrmora drew attention to the subject in a pamphlet publiobed at Cagliari in 1850, under the title of Questions marital - fa sficttazti all' isola di Sar degna; and resumed the subject in 1856, in another work, which he was so obliging as to give me, when at Cagliari, in 1857.

Ha considers th's dppopelLtion of the coast as the deplorable consequence of the devastations of the Saracen corsairs, and the con tinuel piracy which was carried on to a late period, and only ceased on the conquest of Algeria by the French." • It may not be generally known that Corsica was at one time under British protection, though but for a short period. Another curion, episode in its annals is the reign of the adventurer King Theo dore, who ended his days in the Fleet Prison.

The New Zealand Emigrant's Bradshaw. A Guide to the Britain of the South. Stanford, Charing-cross. This very excellent and practical little work is designed for intending emigrants, for whom it pre sents an attractive and sensible description of " the youngest and fairest colony of our empire." The managers of the New Zealand Emigration rooms, inform us in the preface, that from the greatly increasing number of inquirers who apply to them fur information, they conjecture that the supply of works on the subject is un equal to the demand. Those that are pub lisbed are seldom sufficiently practical and simple in their character, and moderate in their puce to suit the intending emigrant of the working-class. The little volume before us is not open to any of these objections, but adapted to all classes, " from the capitalist to the !forking man." It is also b r i e f an d conc i s• in its informa• tion, telling the reader the history geography, government, agriculture, statistics, land regula tions, &c., and all useful information of a similar character, in a clear and direct manner, without any circumlocution or complica'ion of terms. A very useful chapter is entitled "New Zealand Investments," and treats of the various individuals and professions most likely to find an opening there, and the most advisable method of proceeding to obtain satisfactory employment. A little coloured map is prefixed, and a most attractive account of the position of the col on y i s given, as the early settlers have reduced it to order, while the disputes with the natives and home Government imme diately after its first colonisation drove so many of the pioneer settlers away that the country is left clear for later adventurers.
