Good and fine qualities moved off steadily, at full prices ; but low and damp parcels were a slow sale, and the turn cheaper. There was a full average business doing in barley, and all other kinds of spring corn, at previous currencies. In flour, however, very little was passing. • Throughout the continent the fluctuations in the value of produce have been trifling, and the business done has not increased. In the United States prices generally have had an•upward tendency. The arrivals of home-grown produce up to our market last week were very moderate. The imports from abroad were liberated, viz. -11,613 qrs. of wheat, 13,900 of barley, 26,049 of oats, 1,010 of rye, 11.5 of beans, 355 of linseed, 4,620 of rapeseed, 95 of mustard seed, 5,467 of sundry seeds, 563 sacks and 4,842 barrels of flour. Fresh up, to-day, from Essex, Kent, &c., the arrivals of home-grown wheat, coastwise, were very moderate, and the receipts by land carriage were limited; hence, the show of samples was small for the time of year. The attendance of both town and country millers was far from numerous. Good and fine samples sold without difficulty at full prices ; but low and damp qualities moved off slowly. In the quo tations, however, no change took place compared with Monday last. We were again extensively supplied with foreign wheat. Although the transactions in all kinds were very moilerate, last week's currency was supported. Floating cargoes of grain supported previous rates. The few samples of English barley on show were quietly disposed of at very full prices. Foreign barley was in moderate request on former terms. We had a good retail demand for malt, the prices of . which had an upward tendency. There was an average supply of oats in the market. The demand was by no means active, nevertheless prices were well supported. Beans were in short supply and steady request, at ex treme rates. There was a fair inquiry for peas, at very full prices. The flour trade was in a Aluggish state,- yet we have no change to notice in the quotations. The supply of foreign continues very limited. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

There was a very large supply of foreign stock in to-day's market, but its general quality was miserably deficient. On the average, the beasts were not worth more than £9 each. The trade ruled heavy, at drooping prices. From our own grazing districts a fair supply of beasts came fresh to hand ; bnt the condition of the stock was by no means first-rate. The primest Scots, short horns, &c., were in moderate request, at barely stationary prices—the highest quotation being 4s 10(1 per Blbs • otherwise, the beef trade ruled heal 7, at a decline in value, compared with Monday last, of 2d per Blbs. The arrivals of beasts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire amounted to 2,000 short horns ; from other parts:of England, 400 of various breeds ; from Scotland, 50 Scots ; and from Ireland, 780 oxen, &c. The show of English sheep was moderate; of foreign, extensive • and nearly 1,500 head came to hand from Ire land. The condition of most breeds was inferior. Prime Downs and half-bre& were in fair request, at full quota tions • but the heavy sheep were 2 d per 8 lbs. lower than on this day sen'night. There was scarcely any inquily for lambs, and our quo tations must be considered annost nominal. The lamb season is now just closing. " For calves, the supply of which was good, wehad a heavy demand, at 4d per 8 lbs. less money compared with Thurs day last. Pigs were in fair request, at very full prices.

Every Man Ms Own Trumpeter. By George Thorn bury, author of the " Songs of the Cavaliers and Roundheads," " Art and Nature at Home and Abroad," &c. 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. It is seldom that the lovers of fiction meet with so brilliant and spirited a romance. It is through out replete with life and vivacity, but as it proceeds on its course the interest deepens, and the attention of the reader is excited to the utmost, whether his feelings are those of admiration for the courage of the young warrior, or of sympathy for his sufferings and indignation at his wrongs. The career of Cmsar de Mirabel is one well calculated to attract. He was possessed of many great qualities ; the follies of youth did not obscure the brightness of his name, while the voice of renown early sounded the exploits of his daring spirit. There is some thing fascinating in the records of those days of the Grand "Alonarque," despite their drawbacks and imperfections ; they seem to glitter in the pages of history, made radiant with glory, beauty, and grace. The courtly cavaliers, who were alike the pride of camps and the ornament of palaces, are eminently fitted to be the heroes of fictitious legends or ima ginary chronicles. , Oh, never yet was theme so meet for roundel or romance, As the ancient aristocracy, the chivalry of France." The two cousins, Mirabel and Bellerose, who figure prominently in these pages, meet with some strange adventures, than which none arc so memorable as those they encountered in what might be termed the living tomb of the Bastille. Mirabel had the misfortune to offend the Lieutenant of Police, who watched his hour and wreaked his vengeance on his hasty and impetuous enem—, by trans ferring him from the society of 'his friends to the solitude of the house of terrors, 'of which he was a janissary. There is a great deal met with concerning the inhabitants of the Bastille, which is nevertheless entertaining, but it is in the account of the escape that the excitement is awak ened and the interest becomes most intense. The two cousins, for Bellerose had. been also incarcerated, were surrounded by sleeping guards, beneath them there rose the sound of revelry from those in-dwellers of the prison who were not aware of the momentous drama enacting above. Courage and prudence alone could have enabled them to pass the sentinels at the_ outer gates with the bearing suitable to their disguise. When they thought themselves secure, all seemed lost for a moment by a dog recognising them, but they contrived to surmount that obstacle and stood outside the fearful stronghold. A more inspiriting page is before us when the war sounds the summons to the fight, and Mirabel hastens to encounter tangible enemies in the light of day—an exchange he willingly makes for the deadly foes who strike in the night and let not their deeds be known—not that he is then free from the shafts of malice ; in his regiment was a despicable man named Lazare, related to D'Argenson, the lieutenant of police. This man did not come so much in his way at first, but at a more critical period he nearly effected his ruin. Some of the martial characters are described in a powerful manner. The stern old colonel, who was nevertheless an enthusiast in all points connected with military honour, and who hailed with a stern joy any soldier worthy of the name ; the demure Major )3ondy, who, in peace, was an object of ridicule to the critical bserver for hie peculiarities, but in the field of battle seemed transformed into a conquering hero, the herald of victory, appear life-like portraits, so replete are they with fire and energy. The spirit of Mirabel early recommended him to these discriminating censors, and he was thus secured the post of honour able danger in many an engagement. He was at last appointed governor of a besieged city, and in the walls of the citadel had ample opportunities of learning the soldier's hardest lesson, that of endur ance. lie whose spirit would have upheld him in any reverse, whose daring could have led him through hosts of levelled spears, quailed not at the presence of guant famine, and did not yield up his charge till necessity compelled him to do so. Treachery had been at work, and more than the strength of the besiegers had undermined the forces of the gallant defenders of St. Damien. Caesar de Mirabel was not one of those who tread a royabi road to fame, or become distinguished without themselves knowing why, he had to pass through many an ordeal before he could rest, Ms laurels won and his renown established. He met with a chilling repulse instead of an approving welcome, when he was presented before the authorities, and he found that with a frame worn with fatigue and famine, and a mind harassed by heavy cares, and overwhelming responsibilities, he must again urge war against a secret enemy, His was not the spirit that faints within, although then, if ever .ere seemed an excuse for such a feeling, he roused himself as for a dying effort and animated by the courage of despair he prepared as a forlorn hope to fight the battle of his own fair-fame, attacked and traduced by adepts in cunning, treachery, and deceit. He was at last successful, and amid the triumphant congratulations of his friends he was received with those honours which as truly belong to the constancy that bravely sustains reverses, as to the courage that boldly ensures success. Belle rose is not so conspicuous as his friend, but his character possesses a charm all its own in grace and kindliness. He seemed to appear in the most unexpected manner in the hour of emergency, ready to join in any danger, or assist at any hazardous endeavour, increasing pleasure by his lively sym pathy, or lightening the burden of care by his ready wit, and efficient assistance. The heroine, Aurora, does not appear much on the scene, but she is a delightful protraiture, attracting by her grace and vivacity, and singularly unfitted to become a denizen of the convent to which fate she had been condemned at an early , age. Her old aunt is a most amusing sketch, her advent strikes terror to all the household, and peace and happiness fly fast before her footsteps. It is pleasing to find her at last outwitted by her emissaries, whom she believed so perfect. This work has a fair prospect of success ; its characters are striking, its plot skilful, and its style flowing. It contains some passages of excit ing interest, and some that are sketched in a most masterly manner. The adjuncts of time and circum stance are not wanting to impart additional4ttrac tions, but are so rendered as to increise its brilliancy and heighten its charm. It seems • a page of the past unfolded before us in its Chi valric splendour, and a record of stirring scenes whose merit will long dwell in the memory of its readers. Ethel Beraver. By Caroline Gifford Phillipson, authoress of " Lonely Hours," Ba. 2 vols. Newby. This is a story of the old romantic style, of which it is perhaps a favourable specimen, as it is unim peachable in its morality, and the plot is in some respects uncommon. The heroines are represented as beautiful and perfect in character, though suffer ing from the persecutions of evil-minded men and uncongenial destinies. The heroes are not quite ,so attractive, but as the worst of them awakes to a sense of his misconduct before his death the reader has no right to complain. It is a story very well calculated to enlist the sympathies and awake the interest of a numerous class of novel readers, who might certainly find many similar works of a less harmless character.

It opens with a paper on the recent emi gration statistics, and strongly upholds female emigration as most desirable for both countries. It is followed by the continuation of the interesting story of " Etoile." "An Afternoon on Ballarat" gives a graphic picture of Australian life. The papers on "Woman and Womankind" are continued with their usual sense and judgment. The school mistress is the subject of this number, and the author points out forcibly the serious responsibili ties of such a position—the widespread results for good or evil that follow from her conduct. Another series of papers, " Tangled Talk," generally repays perusal. A brief memoir of the brave but ill-fated Count de Lally will be read with interest. There are several other papers of varying merits. The Art Journal. No. XLV The chief plates in this number represent the Marriage of St. Catherine, from Van Dyck ; the Farm at Laaken, a charming scene , from a p icture by Rubens ; and an engravinr , from the statue of the late Lord Fitzgibbon, as "The t- Young Hussar," by P. M'Dowell, R.A. The remainder of the jour nal is full of attractions for the lovers of art. An interesting memoir of M. Le Jeune, among the papers on British artists, has several woodcuts of his graceful groups of little ones. Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Hall's " Book o f the Thames" continues with unabated interest, giving us views of those stately old mansions which used to stand, with their plea sant gardens sloping down to the water's edge, where the noise and turmoil of a commercial tho roughfare is now constantly sounding.

Fourth Book. Longman. The value of these practical compendiums of knowledge having been readily acknowledged by a large class of instructors, the editor does not consider any further introduction necessary to this fourth Volume than the assurance that no pains have been spared to render it equal to its prede cessors. Various branches of knowledge are treated of under different heads by different writers ; thus among others we have scientific biography, animal physiology, natural history, astronomy, arts and manufactures, fine arts, navigation, &c., all separately discussed and explained by authors of name and knowledge. The combination of the various departments of instruction in one book renders it especially attractive to the youthful scholar ; and many a student who has escaped the dominion of the teacher may find something to learn, as well as much to int erest him in these well selected "Reading Lessons."

The Journal of the Roy al Agricultural Society of England. No. XLI. John Murray. This valuable compendium of ag,ricultural infor mation is published twice in the year. It conta . ms articles on various subjects connected w ith farmin g in all its branches, and among them several which have obtained the distinction of prizes. Among those thus conspicuous we may mention a plain and sensibly written essay on the potato, its culture, production, and disease, by Jeffery Lang, M.D., which avoids the elaborate and complex style which theoretical piculturists, like other scientific men, are so apt to indulge in. The essay in ques tion is clear and comprehensible, and arrives at a definite practical conclusion. In support of his method of treating this vegetable, he tells us that last year and the year before he grew rather more than 70 bags of potatoes in each year (of 7 seven each), and that in the two Tears he had not a sackful of diseased potatoes. tie, therefore, trusts that others will be induced to make the same experiments. The conclusions he has drawn from his observations are summoned up as follows : " That the disease is of a fungoid nature, increased in virulency by atmospheric causes. That all manures are injurious, saving only lime and salt. That the earliest potatoes in ripening should be exclusively grown. That earthing up repeatedly with fine earth is the only effectual preventive to the ravages of the disease." Another paper on a subject of much importance to the farmer is discussed by J. L. Lawes, F.R.S., in his "Observa tions on the recently-introduced Manufactured Foods for Agricultural Stock." lie arrives at the conclusion that the advantage of these foods is not commensurate with the expense. There are a variety of other papers on topics of interest and advantage to the farmer, and the work is one well calculated to be of service both to the theoretical and practical agriculturist. 20 to 1 agst Poodle (offered) 20 to 1 agst Warlock (taken) 1000 to 30 agst Duchess of Sutherland (taken) 40 to 1 agst Rocket (taken) 40 to 1 agst Physician (taken) 50 to 1 agst Roman Candle (taken) 50 to 1 agst Courier (taken) 1000 to 15 agst Melissa (taken) 40 to 1 agst Gunboat 30 to 1 agst Barbarity and Prioress (taken) ARRIVALS AT WARWICK.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGII-STREET. TILE BURGLARY AND EXTENSIVE ROBBERY IN OXFORD STREET.—Thomas Hopkins and Jane Johnson were placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with being con cerned with others, not in custody, with stealing about 500 silk umbrellas, value 2201., the property of Mr. Paterson Boyle, wholesale umbrella manufacturer, of 338, Oxford street. Inspector Holder, of the C division, said—About 9 on Saturday night last, I went, in company with Sergeant Ciocker, and Cole, 317 A, to 2, Bromley-place, and on going up stairs met the male prisoner, whom they knew as Turner coming down stairs. I said, "Is your name Turner ?" he said " Yes." The female then said, " Come into this back room." I said "No ; you occupy the second floor front, so open the door," and she did so, and on going into the room I told them to consider them selves in custody ; and I then told Cole and Crocker to search the place, and they did so, Cole producing a silk umbrella, which I at once recognised as one of those stolen, from the description I had received from the prosecutor. I I then asked him how ho got possession of it, and he said SPECULATION. * ln fairness to the great mass of debtors—that is to say to that half of society which lives upon the other half—it is necessary again to draw attention to certain provisions of the law which will enable them to escape their creditors without being subject even to those mild proceedings in our courts that are supposed to be indispensable before a discharge can be obtained. If any man after a career of reck lessness finds himself annoyed by expense and delay in getting purged so as again to be in a position to resume his vocation it is not the fault of the Legisla ture. Our laws are intended for the equal benefit of all, and if one person does not avail himself of them to the same extent as another he must blame his own ignorance or the stupidity of his attorney. There is a pleasant path through bankruptcy which seems at present to be known only to the most astute adventurers. These resort to it in swarms while the purely unfortunate trader, and,' indeed, most of those who get into difficulties through thoughtlessness rather than design, still submit to all the disagreeable processes of examination in Basinghall-street and its concomitant publicity. This is wholly anomalous. Of course when benig nant provisions are enacted it is impossible to prevent rogues taking the benefit of them in common with better men, but it is alto gether unsound to see them enjoyed by , the rogues alone. Henceforth, therefore, let no insol vent merchant, manufacturer, or trader of any kind permit his affairs to be thrown into any English court. By a method which will require simply that he should take five weeks' quiet recrea tion, such as every business mind must sigh for, he may wipe away his entire liabilities, place such small assets as he, may have considered right to reveal to be administered through the hands of his own nominees, and be perhaps the first to announce to his astonished creditors the fact that he is a free man and owes them nothing. This is better even than winding-u 1) under a committee of inspection and paying ss. in the pound, although in that case you may elude all inquiry about past appropriations or private settlements, and enjoy, in conclusion, a vote of sympathy. The machinery has already been described in The Sun, but still seems to be im per fectly known, and the opportunity, therefore, may be taken to illustrate it by a case which has just occurred, premising that it has accidentally tran spired, and that it is only one of a multitude of which nothing is ever heard. Mr. Wm. Gill, a barris ter in London, of 7 years' standing, having cont rived during his short career to incur debts for £17,000, finding last month that his assets were reduced to £662 55., considered that the period had come to remedy the inconveniences of this position. For the past year he had been obliged to live on the Continent, and as he was almost a professional con coctor of public companies, and the improving state of the money-market seemed to show that his ser vices in that line would soon again be wanted by a confiding community, he doubtless felt that no time should be lost. Accordingly he proceeded to the Western Islands of Scotland, and, having located himself at Tobermory, in Mull, which is not readily accessible from the mainland, he at the end of 40 days, the period required to constitute a domicile, made apphcation to the Court of Session for sequestration of his estates. A meeting to elect a trustee was appointed with an expedition likely to keep the creditors in England from the slightest knowledge of what was going on ; a legal gentleman from Edinburgh, now employed by the bankrupt, acted as president ; a Mr. Fraser, of the Isle of Skye, about 10 miles northward of Mull, was named trustee ; and personal protection was granted against arrest or imprisonment for civil debt for 12 months. The next desirable thing was to hurry forward the public examination, so as to render it physically im possible for any opposition to be offered. In eight days the whole affair was to have been got throngh, and as the distance from London was. 600 miles, and the course of post a week, nothing but the most untoward fate could prevent success. Mr. Gill, however, was less fortunate than others. Through some mismanagement one or two of his creditors seem to have been made aware of the pro ceedings, and these persons at great expense em ployed agents specially to proceed to Tobermory and interrogate him. Mr. Gill being a man of mark, the examination has found its way into the Scotch papers, and thus the complete immunity upon which he relied has not been obtained. This, however, need not operate as any discouragement to others, since it is not one time in a hundred that any difficulty occurs, or that creditors, even sup posing they get any information on the subject, are found willing, either by themselves or in the person of a paid agent, to travel 1,200 miles in urgent haste merely to expose the manner in which they have been made to suffer. The peculiar features of Mr. Gill's case, moreover, were such as to excite curiosity and impair the prospect of his pasSinc , quietly. He is a son of Mr. Thomas Gill, a mer chant of Plymouth, and formerly member for that borough, and the narrative extracted from him appears to have embraced the following facts. Starting as a barrister in Lincoln's-inn in 1851, his professional practice brought him about £3OO per annum, and his father allowed him another £3OO. In the course of a year or two he commenced specu lating in stocks and shares. From time to time his father paid his losses—in one instance £1,000., in another £BOO, and so on ; but, apparently, on none of these occasions was any warning given to the public, and the only result, therefore, was to enable him to continue his game—figuring as a great financial personage — until the total against him reached £16,750. He was a director of the Brighton Hotel Company, and chairman of the Garnet and Mosel y American Gold Mining Company, and was under a contract to bring out before the Ist of May in the present year a sub marine telegraph company to America and India. The latter work has been interfered. with by the difficulties which have temporarily deprived the world of his services ; otherwise he " would have realized £10,000"—a sum, it is to be presumed, was to have been extracted from the pockets of such eager shareholders as might have been allowed to participate in the benefit of the idea. He may yet, however, put it forward, as his passage through the Scotch courts will most likely be quick, notwith standing the unlooked-for interruption, and the pro tection he has already obtained is sufficient to enable him to return to the metropolis. For a little while, till his notoriety has subsided, he will, doubtless, have to work through third parties ; but he is evidently one of those dashing spirits in whom it was given to him by a man at a public-house opposite, who was a stranger to him. I said it was strange a stranger should give him an umbrella worth los. He then said the man only asked him to mind it for him. On a further search a number of keys—one a skeleton one—was found, and a quantity of duplicates (44) relating to all kinds of property. Mr. Patterson Boyle, the prosecutor, identified the um brella produced, owing to the make being different from that of other manufacturers. He did not believe it had been &81d, though several like it had been. The place where the prosecutor's mark had been had been scraped. The value of the property stolen was £220. Inspector Holder said from inquiries he had made he had ascertained the prisoner had been drinking with a man, and after some conversation left him and crossed over to the house. The female was not known to the police. The female said she was out on the evening mentioned, but it was only to pledge something, and she did call in the public-house to have some beer, but she was quite innocent of the charge. . Mr. Bingham gave her full credit. It might be she knew nothing about the umbrella, but if she had the misfortune to be connected with such a person as the male prisoner, she must fake the consequences. He should remand them both till Wednesday next. THAMES, DARING STREET RORBERY.—Michael Callaghan, a well known associate of thieves, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with stealing a silver watch from the person of Alexander M'Ewen, a shipwright. The complainant stated that he was in Philpot-street, Commercial-road East, last night, at eight o'clock, and while standing on the kerbstone there was a rush of people from an infidel chapel where blasphemous lectures were delivered. He heard a snap and missed his watch from his right hand trousers pocket. He seized the prisoner, who was pushing against 'him, and at the same time the watch fell upon the ground, close to his feet. Mr. Selfe—Hare you recovered the watch? Witness—Yes, sir, it was picked up. The prosecutor's watch was produced and identified. Mr. Selfe asked Mr. Ewen if he saw the prisoner snatch the watch from his pocket? Witness—l did not, but I have no doubt he took it, and that it dropped from his hand when I collared him. Mr. Selfe asked the prisoner what he had to say in answer to the charge. The prisoner—lt is no use my saying anything, because his evidence will be taken before mine. Mr. Selfe—That depends on circumstances. If you can make out he is unworthy of belief, perhaps yours will be taken. The prisoner—lt is no use my saying anything. Mr. Selfe—l think that you have been here before. The prisoner—l never had a lock and key turned upon me before in my life. Mr. Selfe—That is quite a professional phrase, where do you live, and what are you? The prisoner said he should not like to bring disgrace on his parents by divulging his place of residence. Mr. Selfe--There is no disgrace in being brought here if you are not guilty of the offence charged against you. Where do you live ? The prisoner—l live any where. Mr. Selfe—l shall remand you until to-morrow week, and if you do not state your name and address then I shall remand you again. _ _ _ Police Sergeant Cleary, No. 8 H, said the prisoner was . _ the constant associate of thieves, and he had seen him in the Commercial-road very often under suspicious circum stances. Mr. Selfe then remanded the prisoner until Tuesday, the 14th instant. CONVICTION OF A BARMAN FOR ROBBERY.—George Gingell, a young man, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with stealing money. Mr. Robert Rudd George, the landlord of the Bunch of Grapes public-house, in Ratcliff-highway, said the prisoner entered his service on Monday last as barman, and since that time he had repeatedly missed money—in fact, there was a considerable deficiency. On Friday night he sought the advice of the police, and marked one half-crown, two shillings, a florin, and two sixpences. The marked coins were given to a man named Shaw to distribute - about and make purchases of liquor and beer. On Saturday among the money received he saw lying on the sideboard a half-crown and one of the sixpences which had been marked, but the two marked shillings, the florin, and one of the sixpences were not there. He sent for a policeman, and, on his arrival, said to the prisoner, "Will you allow the constable to search your pockets and boxes ?" The prisoner said " Yes." No thing was found in the boxes, but a two-shilling piece, two shillings, and a sixpenc e, all marked, were found upon the prisoner, who said, " I am v er y so rr y ; I hope you will no do anything." The persons who had paid in the marked money were exam i ne d, and said the prisoner received the coins of them. 'he prisoner pleaded guilty, and Mr. Selfe said there could be no doubt of the prisoner's guilt, and sentenced him to four months' imprisonment and hard labour. SHIPPING IN7'ELLIGENCE.
