CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool on Saturday were estimated at 6,000 bales, all to the trade. The market was quiet but steady, at previous rates. The sales com prised 5,500 American; 500 Egyptian, at 6d. to §d.; and 30 Sea Island, at Is. to Is. 2d. per lb.—Railway Shares were flat at lower prices. Tho Wheat Market was very inactivo, and barely so high. A statement of the receipts of the Netherlands Rail way Company during the year 1851 gives the total at 998,944 francs, and of the Rhenish company at 659,912 francs. Tho number of vessels which last year received certificates of registration as Dutch ships was 154 of 16,714 tons, built in Holland, and 13 of 1,080 tons built abroad. The Amsterdam Stock market was more buoyant on the 10th inst. than it had beer., previously. Spanish Bonds were in request. The telegraphic dispatch furnishes all the news we have up to the present time from India. The secretary of the Buckinghamshire Railway, Mr. Edward Watkin, furnishes the following information as the result of a late tour in the United States:— " The working of the Massachusetts railways may perhaps be fairly taken us illustrating the ordinary mileage earnings and expenses of American railways, where, from the number of lines open, there is consider able competition. The statistics of those roads, as made up last year (1850) show the following results:— S. d. Average gross earnings per mile run ... 6 1 Average expenses per mile run ... 3 7i Average passenger receipts per mile run ... 5 4 Average merchandise receipts per mile run ... 6 5 Average sum received for each passenger ... 1 8 Average sum received for each ton of merchan dise ... ... ... ... 5 3 " I must observe that the sums charged as expenses' seem to include many items which aro not strictly work ing charges. " The railways in Massachusetts and New York States are managed with great prudence, and reserve funds are retained in hand, sometimes to a con siderable amount. The same may be said of many of the companies in Pennsylvania and elsewhere. But, at the same time, it must be observed that, in the majority of cases, the policy pursued is to extract a dividend to the last farthing of available surplus over working expenses ; and to trust to the increase of traffic for providing when the emergency may arrive for the deterioration of the permanent way, and the rebuilding, or replacement of worn•out stock. Very few companies indeed, systematically provide for the renewal of the perishable parts of their property by the reserve funds regularly put aside out of the annual revenue ; and the reason given for the omission is simply that by the time the permanent way requires a renewal, or timber bridges and viaducts replacement, the traffic of the lines will have become so greatly de veloped that it will be then more advisable to enlarge the capital to the extent required, and replace and renew everything on a more permanent and sub stantial scale. Timber is cheap, and the sleepers, or sill, which costs us four shillings, is to be had for a shilling here. " The Philadelphia and Reading Railroad Company, whose accounts give an extraordinary amount of valuable statistical detail, have a renewal fund, based upon an assumed calculation of so much per ton conveyed. For instance, in the past year a gross weight of 297,108,427 tons has been taken as conveyed over one mile; and three half-pence per hun dred tons conveyed, or, in total, 18,5681., has been put aside to meet renewals of road and stock. This is on ninety-five miles of double line, bearing a gross revenue of 492,4831. per annum, or 5,1841. per mile ; which is the largest mileage re ceipt in America. The gross expenses of this line average three shillings and sevenpence-halfpenny per train mile, and the gross receipts eight shillings and fourpence-halfpenny per train mile, which latter is an extremely high average. " The enormous trains, which carry a load of three hundred and seventy-two tons of coal, for which the company's usual charge is five shillings and ninepenee - halfpenny per ton, for ninety-five mile?, or nearly three farthings per mile, yield these heavy receipts per mile." There is a flatter market for Public Securities, the weather probably having some influence, though the bold measure of the French President in dis solving the National Guard, and the probability of the Ministry meeting Parliament in their present dis jointed condition, are not favourable to prices. Still, if the speculative account were bearish, as some think there would be reasonto expect a rally again.

Nearly the whole of the provincial markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with English Wheat, for which the demand ruled steady, at au ad vance in the quotations of fully ls. per qnarter. Fine Foreign Wheats were held firmly, at further enhanct d rates. Malting Barley was scarce, and ls. higher. Grinding and distilling sorts, as well as Malt, com manded a fair amount of attention. No change took place in Oats; but both Beans and Peas were the turn in favour of sellers. Indian Corn and Flour were higher. The French Markets have been somewhat active for both Wheat and Flour, at enhanced rates. Those in the Black Sea may be considered steady. In ship ments to England very few sales have taken place up the Baltic. At Now York, Flour was dearer at the date of our last advices. Up to our Market, last week, the arrivals of English Grain were comparatively small. The Foreign imports amounted to 7,600 quarters of Wheat, 7,710 Barley, 6,728 Oats, 14,856 Beans, 250 Tares, 767 Linseed, 267 sundry Seeds, 1,723 sacks and 550 barrels of Flour. The quantity of English Wheat received up to this morning's market from Essex, coastwise, was moderate, but that from Kent, Lincolnshire, &c., was compara tively small. The prevailing wet weather has materially effected the condition of most of the samples. By land carriage from the midland districts, as well as from Nor folk, the fresh receipts were rather limited. Notwith standing that the show of both red and white qualities was far from extensive, the demand for all kinds, arising in a great measure from the absence of the leading millers, was in a very inactive state. Good dry parcels sold at the advance obtained on Monday last; but low and damp parcels moved off slowly, and, is some in stances, prices were the turn in favour of buyers. For forward delivery very few contracts were entered into. We were very scantily supplied with really fine foreign Wheats, but the show of low parcels was on the increase. The former sold at full currencies, but so little was doing in the latter that the quotations were almost nominal. In floating cargoes no transactions were reported. Holders in general were firm. The nominal top price of English Flour was 40s. per 2801bs. The trade was by no means active. The stock of Foreign Flour held hero is small. Notwithstanding that the supply of Barley was tolerably good, the trade, especially for Malting samples, was decidedly firm, at extreme quotations.

The general quality of the former was remarkably good, that of the latter inferior. Owing to the prevailing wet weather, and the large arrivals of country-killed Meat up to Nowgate and Leadenhall, the Beef trade was in a very inactive state, at a decline in the quotations of 2d per 81bs. A. few very superior Scots realized 3s 10d, but the general top figure for Beef did not exceed 3s 8d per Sibs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received about 1,000 Scots, short-horns, &C.; from Lincolnshire , Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, 1,200 short-horns; from other parts of England, 800 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c.; and from Scotland, 370 hornedotland, and polled Scots, chiefly by railway. There was a decided increase in the supply of Sheep, both as to number and quality. All breeds met a dull inquiry, at a reduction in prices of 2d per Sibs. The highest figure for the best old Downs was 4s 4d per Sibs. A few shorn Sheep were in the market. Calves, though in short supply, moved off slowly, at 24 per 81bs less money.

The ch air was taken at one o'clock precisely by Mr. Tho mas Cr ewman, a member of the execut i ve council, supported by Viscount Goderich, Thomas H ug hes, Esq., A.

It k s luipsp support. heart, I was to alleviate the however, was in the cause the ( y He h a a r con dition of the mechanic , and miti gate the sufferings of the —(Hear, hear.) indigent; and he was confident no man who wished to advance his fellow - creatures could sincerely resist such a noble movement.—(Hear, hear.) He concluded a brief and simple address by requesting the meeting to observe order in its proceedings, and to give every one a fair hearing.—(Rear, hear.) Mr. USHER moved the first resolution, and said the men were deeply grieved at being once more compelled to appeal to the sympathies of the public.—(Bear, hear.) It was not proper, however, that might should triumph over right, and they had, therefore, no alternative hut to assemble in public meeting like this.—(Hear, hear.) When they last came before the public some regret was expressed that the men were unsupported by any of the masters, but that source of regret did not prevail on the present occasion, for ho was happy to say some of the masters, who agreed with them that their demands were just, had come forward to assist them through the struggie._(Hear.) He was glad that the mechanical engineers had at length deter mined to do for themselves what hitherto they had done for a few individuals. There was plenty of work in the country, and the men were prepared to undertake it. — (Hear, hear.) They had no desire to work from six o'clock in the morning until ten at night, as the present system required, at the expense of two-thirds of their own body, who were forced to eat the bread of idleness, but they wanted to do a fair day's work for a fair day's wages, and have the work so distributed that every one should have his fair share.—(Hear, hear.) He was happy to tell the meeting that the majority of the labouring class sympathized with this great movement, and some trades had already agreed to sacrifice a day's pay a week to assist those who should be thrown upon the world for support by the unjust stop which the masters had taken.—(Hear, hear.) It was pleasing, however, to think that the men occu pied as strong a position as the masters, and the hard working portion of the public might rely upon it that the men would struggle against the oppression of their em ployers to the very last.—(Hear, hear.) He concluded by moving the following resolution:—" That many of the employers of London and Lancashire having closed their workshops, this meeting is of opinion that their conduct is unjust and particularly oppressive to non members and labourers, and pledges itself to use every exertion in obtaining subscriptions in behalf of all who are thrown out of employment."—(Cheers.) Mr. JAMES POTTS seconded the resolution, and told the meeting that they had arrived at the period when the great question, whether the operative should be the slave of capital or an independent member of society, would have to be definitively decided,—(Hear, hear.) For his part, he had faith in the justice of the struggle, and ho was catiaflod that the question would be even tually decided in their favour.— (Hear, hear.) The resolution was supported by other working men, and afterwards put to the vote and carried by accla mation. It was then moved and seconded, and afterwards adopted by the meeting, that " as a means of removing the evils which beset the condition of working men, in relation to the unjust conduct of employers, we recom mend the principle of self-employment on a co-operative basis ; and this meeting is of opinion that workshops should be immediately commenced by the workmen themselves, in order that the business of the country may b© proceeded with." This concluded rho business of the day; and a vote of thanks having been passed to the chairmen, the meet ing, which was densely crowded throughout, quietly broke up. THE IVETV GOVERNOR OF THE CAP. (From the Times.) The necesscr of Sir Harry Smith in the importan command of the Cape has been named; and is just upon the eve of departure for the seat of war. It is Major- General the Hon. George Cathcart, who has been re moved from the Deputy. Lieutenancy of the Tower of London, and is appointed to replace Sir Harry Smith in Kafraria. The se l ect i on, wo trust, may prov e a fortu nate one, although there is little in General Cathcart's antecedents which w ou ld seem t o mark him out as the most competent person t o fill such a post. We find by the Army List th a t h e entered t h e se rvice in Miy, 1810 , and he is, we belie ve , somet hi ng l es s than sixty years o f age. Thus far all is we ll. G en eral Cathcart may fairly be asaurned to be i n possess i on o f full mental vigour and bodily power. B ut when we come to turn toithe brie f abstract of his ser v i ces wh i c h t he Army List supplies, the account appears somewhat bald and unsatisfac tory, with referen ce to hi s present appointment. One might naturally h ave ex pected that an officer of con siderable e x p er i ence in the peculiar species of w arfare practised at the C a p © would have been a ppointed to the command. Th e little service that General Cathcart ever witnesse d —about forty years ago—was entirely involved in military operations on the largest scale. Nor does he appear throughout his brief campaigns to have acted in any other capacity than as a staff-officer. In the years 1813-14 Lieutenant Cathcart, then a very young man, acted as Aide-de- Camp to his father, Lord Cathcart, who was present with the allied armies as a kind of English Commissary. He was present at Lutzea, Bautzen, Dresden, Leipsic, in 1813; and throughout the advance into France, in the 1 814. In 1815 Lieutenant Cathcart acted a —amp to the Duke of Wellington, and witnessed the-do-pax, battle s of Quatro Bras and Waterloo. All the military a Api part of n operations named were, of course, on they afford in the art o f b us h-fi g hting at the Cape? th e most gigantic scale, I , but what instruction could We can readily conceive that some of our Indian officers might hare found themselves comparatively at home in the sharp skirmishes of Southern Africa. The case seems very different with a young staff-officer of the great German campaign of 1813. We cannot but notice one, considering the mag nitude of the interes ts involved, an d the comparative t he appointment as a strung () disgrace to the British arras which so far has been the result of the operations. , k;:arr (From the D aily News.) a Government gossip be cor recltflytb ~„Y Smith has been superseded in the government of the Cap e o f Good Hope b y M a j or - G enera l George Cathcart. T hat the time bad come for the withdrawal of Sir Harry S mith from the Cape, no one can doubt. lie had in the beginning of his admi eSundy instructed—Sir medium admi nistration hastily patched up one Kafir war without having gained any security against the recurrence of another; he had been deluded into the belief that his ill arranged truce was in reality a permanen t peace. Whilst his old enemies were b ut recru i t i ng , h e wa s giving them fresh grievances to revenge. By his indis creet attempt to degrade the principal Kafir Chiefs, be was precipitating. those hostilities of which he was as suring the Imperial Government he had no apprehension. And in the conduct of the war he had suffered a succes sion of reverses at the hands of savages he rashly threat ened to exterminate by a blow. Nor, whilst thus untor tunate in the e xternal relations , has he been more sucees ful in the internal auministrati on of the colony. For in the interval of peace and tranquillity vouchsafed to his government he arrested the formation of a constitution by foolishly pressing . unnecessary ordinances of very minor im portance in the L eg i s l at i ve C ounc il—the elective membe rs of which had b een chosen for the one special object o f filling in the details of the constitution, of which Earl Grey had spit but the outline. The time, it will therefore be admitted by every one, had fully come fur the Colonial dime to withdraw from the colony the gallant old soldier whom, during a spirit of national ent h us i a sm, it had sent thither to gain a momentary round of popular applause., Major-General George appointment in a military point of view there is proba bl y no objection. Th oug h not a young man, General Cathcart is a juvenile major-general, and this is something,gained. when the commands of the Bombay an d Madras armies have been confided by the Whigs to aged invalids. Though a member of an aris tocratic family , whi c h has be en unusually we ll rewarde o d, for its public services , General C a thcart is one. ! the few English officers who in time of peace nav° s t u died the art and science of war, And, though JANUARY 12, 1852. as yet be hes only served in subordinate ea- , pacities, he has seen .‘ the greet war that makes ambition virtue," under captains arid circumstances that have not—as his writings show —been thrown away upon him. There are, therefore, no objections to Major- General Cathcart as Commander-in-Chief of the Queen's forces at the Cape. It is a selection in which there is hope, ability, theoretical experience and comparative maturity to justify it; and if the gallant officer's com mission be confined strictly to that which his profes sional merits entitled him, we should recognise in the choice a better spirit than those which sent Sir John Grey, in his arm chair, to Bombay, or Sir Richard Armstrong to Madras. But it is not—if the Observer is correct—to be so limited. The civil government of the Cape, as we ll as th e comman d of the army there, has, it is announced, been conferred on General Cathcart. Now, there is nothing in the gallant officer's past career to justify the confiding of the civil administration of the Cape to him; and there is in the present state of polities in that colony every reason for placing at its head a person of large experience of civil govern ment—of well known liberal views—and of extensive knowledge of colonial society. Instead of such a man, Lord Grey intends to send out an aide-de-camp of the Commander-in-Chief to inaugurate Parliamentary go vernment in the Cape. By such a choice he confirms the supremacy'in civil affairs, vytkich the present S.2cret..,ry of the Government, Mr. John Montague, has acquired at the Cape; and to which supremacy the colonists ascribe their present plight. For as . General Cath c a rt ' s imme diate mission will be on the frontiers—;here to conduct a harassing war—the whole weight of civil affairs must remain on the shoulders which now bear it. What tho Cape required under this state of things was a division of the civil and military authority—a governor competent successfully to introduce a Parlia mentary system, and a general with abilities to triumph over a race of savages. In their stead , Lord Grey, in choosing General Cathcart, has risked the constitution without acquiring the certainty of military success. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. LINCOLN SPRING MEETING, 1852.

INFANTRY FIRING. MUSKET BALLS. Marsha, Saxe computed that, in a battle, only one ball of eighty-five takes effect. Others, that only one in forty strikes, and no more than one in four hundred is fatal. At the battle of Tournay, in Flanders, fought on the 22d of May, 1794, it is calculated that two hundred and thirty-six musket shots were expended in disabling each soldier who suffered.—.

APPREHENDED FALL OF THE GRAND TERMINUS OF THE GREAT NORTHERN RAILWAY.—Within the last two or three days considerable apprehension has been ex cited amongst the authorities, architects, engineers, and contractors for the construction of the stupendous works in progress, as the grand terminus of the Great Northern Railway, at King's Cross, that unless some efficient remedy be applied, that portion intended as the outgoing and in coming station for the trains will fall. With a view to pre vent suds a catastrophe taking place shorings have been put up so as to support the large arches, which are designed in imitation of the transept of the Crystal Palace, vs also h to s t r engthen the stanchions and w alls upon which t ios ne the . rest.

R. Hartwell in the chair. The reportas read by the secretary, Mr. Longman, from which • that it appeared the claims on the funds during the past year had been for s i x t e en deceased memb ers, making in all, the first year o f the society, twenty-t wo d ea th s , at 201. each death, 140/. The funds were in a flourishing state, but members had not, during the last year, so much increase in numbers as mi g ht was have been expect e d. A letter' also received from Luke Hansard , Esq., informing the society of his still retaining the office of trustee. Several fresh committee -men were elected, the treasurer and secretary re-elected, and thanks voted to the chairman, after which the meeting separated. MA GA ZINE S, & : o —(C ON T IJED.) together with the Rev. Mr. Conybeare's biography o FRASER. the Apostle, continues with undiminished excellence. Fraser commences the new year with the first in stalment of a new novel from the pen of the Rev. C. Kingsley, the author of " Alton Locke." This Rev. Gentleman is a mighty stickler for sacerdotal supre macy, a great hater of cities, a despiser of learning and refinement, rather Proudhonish in his notions about property, and the propounder of a scheme de nominated Christian Socialism, the object of which seems to be to eventually destroy all the towns, and turn every country parish into a slave plantation, of which the parson is to be the benevolent and philan thropic negro driver. His new novel, " Hypatia; or, New Foes with an Old Face," has been evidently undertaken as a means of propagating his peculiar notions on the subject of social reform. The scene is laid in Alexandria, at the time that Cyril was bishop, and by his fierce appeals to the sufierings of en igno rant populace endeavouring to hound them on to the destruction of all learning, in order to reduce every thing to th - it one dead level of ignorance which is the only sure foundation of that u nreasoning obedience without which a sacerdotal despotism cannot be estab lished. Toes does Cyril denounce the lecture-rooms of philosophy : " But never, while these lecture-rooms lait—these Egyptians chambers of imagery—these theatres of Se tae, where the devil transforms himself into aa angel of light, and apes Christian virtue, and hediz , us his minis ters like ministers of righteousness—as long as that lecture-room stands, and the great and the powerful flock to it, to learn excuses fur their own tyrannies and atheisms, so long will the kingdoza of God be trampled under foot in Alexandria; so long will the princes of this world, with their gladiators, and parasites, and money-lenders, be masters here, and not the bishops and priests of the living God." This is a very eloquent passage, but not more eloquent than many other passages to a similar effect to be found scattered up and down Mr. Kingsley's sermons and his other works. Hypatia herself is a delightful character; high-minded, educated, learned in all the learning of the Platonists, yet most modest, most gentle, most virtuous, and far-seeing, she is the repre sentative of the refined philosophy and learning of her time; and it is against this wise, and good, and high souled maiden that Cyril breathes forth the fierce de nunciations we have quoted. In the second chapter we have a description of the Laura, an establishment of monks in the desert of Thebais, and a sort of pat tern Phalonstire, to make use of a Fourierism, of Christian Socialism or Communism. The garden, we are told, was the common property, and therefore the common care and joy of all • for the common good each man had toiled up the glen, bringing mud for manure from the Nile ; for the common good each man had swept the ledges clear of sand, and sown the harvest ; and to buy clothes, books, and chapel furni ture, for the common good, each man worked at basket making, " his mind full of high and heavenly thoughts," &c., &o. Now this is really quite a de lightful picture, a heaven upon earth ; and did it stand alone might make all mankind in love with Christian Socialism ; but as we proceed we discover that the common good is not of itself a sufficient bond to keep these good people together—to do that requires the occasional aid of a sturdy cudgel, duly applied by the head priest. Let those who are inclined to admire the view of Christian Socialists labouring in common for the common good read the following passage : " Desperately and breathlessly did Philammon drive this speech out of his inmost heart; and then waited, expecting the good abbot to strike him on the spot. It ho had, the young man would have submitted patiently; so would any man, however venerable, in that monastery. . . . Why not?" T hat the wielder of the sacerdotal cudgel should ask why not is not surprising, but surely the man over whom the cudgel is uplifted has an equal right to ask why ? a question to answer which would somewhat puzzle the cudgeller. The language of these two chapters is eloquent, earnest, and not nnfrequently poetical, and the treatment is highly dramatic ; in fact, the lan guage and treatment is as good as the philosophy is had. The " Autobiography of Captain Digby Grand" is continued, and " The Age of Veneer" is brought to a conclusion. The third chapter of the " Hungarian War" brings the history down to the period of the advance of Windischgratz, when Kossuth by bis eloquence "realised the poet's idea of an impossi bility, and stamped soldiers out of the soil." We commend the following passage on the death of the Count Lamberg to the attentive perusal of those who throw away so much virtuous indignation on red Republicans, whilst they can see no faults in red Emperors : " Thera can be no doubt that the death of Count Lemberg at Pesth, as well as the assassination of the Prince Lichnowsky and Major Auerswald at Frankfort, are chargeable on the absurd interpretation of the doc trine of popular sovereignty, :which in 1848 was rife throughout the countries of the continent. The advo cates and parasites of popular power had so long and so loudly proclaimed that the will of the sovereign people was a sacred law, and that the people's will was the voice of God, which must be right, that every part and fraction of the people claimed the sanctity of inspira tion for its whims, passions, and prejudices. But the burden of the guilt does not lie only on the agitators of that fatal period: nol part of it falls on those who, by precept and example, accustomed the continental nations to consider sovereign power, no matter with whom it rested, entitled to defy all laws, h u man and divine, and to believe that the strong baud must du right, whatever it may do. Those who accuse Mr. Kossuth of directing the Weapon which struck down Count Lemberg, ought not to spare Francis 11., who forged it." These are words of truth, of wisdom, and of justice, and should be pondered well by those who prate about the divine right of monarchs and the blessings of a strong government. The number concludes with a weak and senile scolding of Louis Napoleon, signed A. V. Kirwan. The writer, who is a personal acquaintance of the reactionary leaders (both Legi timatist and Orleanist) in the Assembly, is very angry because his friends have been out-manoeuvred. We cannot share in his indignation ; they endeavoured to make a tool of Louis Napoleon, whilst he has cleverly turned the tables on them. But for them he never would have been elected President, and the only reply to be given to their present complaint is— Vous l'avez voulu, Georges Dandin, vous l'avez voulu. SHARPE'S LONDON MAGAZINE. This number contains a biographical sketch of Andrew Marvell, and the first part of an amusing tale by Mrs. S. C. Hall, entitled " Nelly Nowlan s Experience in Service, and other Matters ;" and a highly interesting article by Mrs. Traill, entitled " Female Trials in the Bush." It describes the great difficulties met with by young women of refined education and habits, when unprepared for the true state of affairs in the less civilized part of the country. The magazine is embellished with two engravings of the game of tric-trac, and a mountain torrent. THE GENTLEMAN'S. The present number opens with an admirable r!o -tice of M. Jules Bonnet's recently published bio graphy of Olympia Morata, one of the most perfect of or wo men, whether as ,daughter, wife, Christian she was indeed a heroine. This is followed by a review of the Parker Society's edition of the wor of ks of Bishop Jewel ; and then we h ave the fifth part Mr. Harwell's admirable biography of Ulrich von Hutten. In this part we have incidental notices of Pirkheimer and Sickingen, early and earnest reformers both. This number is illustrat ed by an engraving of the High Cross at Bristol as restored last year, and by several vignette illustrations to Mr. Thomas wright s a musing " Wandering s of an Antiquary."

This beautiful series of engravings of the principal places visited by the Great Apostle of the Gentiles, 1852. NE W MUSIC. We have ;several attractive musical comptisitions publisho by Mr. Hammond, 9,- New Bond-street, demanding our notice, and to which we can willingly accord our praise. " Lady de Mey," a ballad by George Linley, is in a somewhat peculiar style, and capable of yery effective expression ; it is quaint and telling, blending the undying subject of " love" with a spice of ancient romance, and a very charming air. " My Dream is of Thee," by Frank Romer, is a well sustained and somewhat original melody, within easy compass of voice, and does great credit to the talented young composer. " Thou shalt have Joy in Sadness soon," by Brinley Richards, is one of the best sacred songs we have heard for some time, being characterised by a flowing simplicity and strength that must find the way to the heart in all Sabbath nicht singing circles. In the " Madras Galop," by the same composer, we hove a lively and well marked arrengement for dance music, in.piring enough to make head and heels in voluntarily obey it. " Mendelssohn's Songs without - Words" ore a selection from the finest of the gust composer's works, by E F. Rimlault ; all the posi tive difficulties of reading are obviated, and a mode rate performer may here achieve n certain degree of mechanical success, though we believe that the beauty of poetic thought and harmonious sentiment, , so rife in all Mendelssohn's works ; re quire a delicate and soul-directed manipulation which few, even finished musicians, attain. Perfect playing by note is not enough to do justice to this composer, but these ar rangements afford the greatest facility possible to the " greatest number " for rendering his exquisite spi ritual tracery tangible to the popular sense. PHINCESs's THEATRE. On Saturday evening Shakspere's comedy of Twelfth Night was performed at the above theatre, by the same artists who had represented it the pre ceding night, by Royal command, at Windsor Castle. When the piece was produced last season at the Princess's, the very admirable manner in which it wa s acted induced us to enter at considerable length into the general merits of the performance ; and, as the present "cast" is, with three exceptions, identical with that which we have already reviewed, we may now confine ourselves principally to its novel features, which were the Sir Toby Belch of Mr. Bartley, the Olivia of Miss Murray, and the Duke Orsino of Mr. Wheatleigh. With regard to Mr. Bartley's delineation of the bibacious old knight, those who are acquainted with the actor's sterling abilities will readily believe that it included every thing which irreproachable reading, aided by a remarkably fine voice, unflagging spirit, and thorough knowledge of the best histrionic traditions, could con tribute to make up a sum of excellence rare indeed in these degenerate days. Miss Murray made a very handsome and graceful Olivia ; one truly calculated to enamour the refined Orsino, and to inspire him with the exquisite thoughts to which he gives utter. ante. But her looks, " the melody ,breathing from her face," were not the only spells with which she entranced her lover, or awakened sympathy in the audience : for there was evidence, in her performance, of mind—a more pure and spiritual, if not more potent charm--strong in itself, but, when combined with graceful beauty, irresistible. Mr. Wheatleigh delivered the glowing language of Orsino with judg ment and taste. Mrs. Charles Kean's Viola re-ex hibited all those perfections upon which we formerly dilated with delight ; and the comedy was otherwise admirably performed. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, SATURDAY. The Queen and Prince Albert walked in the Home park and Slopes this morning. The Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and the Royal children took their usual morning exercise. There were no additions to the Royal dinner party. Her Majesty's private band attended after dinner in the Castle, and performed the following selection:— Sinfonia—allegro, - vivace, andante con moto, presto, saltarella Mendelssohn.

Eight wires, covered with gutta percha and enclosed in a wooden tube, lying 10 inches below the surface of the ground, have been provided by the company to meet any contingencies that may arise. It is stated that a new additional cable with four wires is in the course of manufacture, and nearly completed, f‘r the purpose of being laid down from coast to coast.
