Nearly the whole of the provincial markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with English Wheat, for which the demand ruled steady, at an ad vance in the quotations of fully Is. per qnarter. Fine Foreign Wheats were held firmly, at further enhanced rates. Malting Barley was scarce, and Is. higher. Grinding and distilling sorts, as well as Malt, com manded a fair amount of attention. No change took place i❑ Oats; but both Beans and Peas were the turn in favour of sellers. Indian Corn and Flour were higher.

The market was quiet but steady, at previous rates. The sales com prised 5.500 American; 500 Egyptian, at 6d. to od.; and 30 Sea Isl4,nd, at ls. to ls. 2d. per lb.—Railway Shares were fist at lower prices. The Wheat Market was very inactive, and barely so high. _ _ 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 Beaus, 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.

The number of vessels which last year received certificates of registration as Dutch ships was 154 of 16,714 ton; built in Holland, and 13 of 1,080 tons built abroad. The Amsterdam Stock market was more buoyant on the loth inst. than it had been previously. Spanish Bonds were in request. The telegraphic dispatch furnishes all the news we have up to tee present time from India. 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, in some in stances, prices were the turn in favour of buyers. For forward delivery very few contracts were entered into. Tho . 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 as 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:— 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 403. per 280Ibs. Tho trade was by no means active. The stock of Foreign Flour held here is small. Notwithstanding that the supply of Barley was tolerably good, the trade, especially for Malting samples, was decidedly firm, at extreme quotations. Tho Malt trade was steady, and late rates were well supported. _ 8. d.

" The railways in Massachusetts and Now York States are managed with great prudence, and reserve funds are retained in hand, sometimes to a con siderable amount. Tho 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 tho 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 ou 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. No change took place in the demand for or value of Beans. A very large quantity was on offer from Alexandria. _ Whito Peas were steady and quite as dear.

Although large quantities of Linseed are close at hand, a full average business is doing in that article at full prices.

All the articles command very " 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 ono mile; and three half-pence per hun dred tons conveyed, or, in total, 18,5684, 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 492,483/. per annum, or 5,181/. per mile ; which is the largest mileage re ceipt in America. The gross expenses of this lino average three shillings and sevenpence-halfpenny per train mile, and the gross receipts eight shillings and fourpence-halfpenny per train mile, which latter is au 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 ninepence - halfpenny per ton, for ninety-five miles, 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 favcurable to prices.

Owing to the prevailing wet weather, and the large arrivals of country-killed Meat up to Newgate 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 Blbs. From No: follc, Suffolk, Essex, and Cana bridgeshire we received about 1,000 Scots, short-horns, &e.; from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, I , 2o oshort-horns; from other parts of England, 800 Herefords, runts, Devons, &c.; and from Scotland, 370 horned 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, ut a , reduction in p r i ces o f 2d per Blbs. 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 OP ERATIVES.—(THIS.DAY.) meeting of th e operative engineers of the metropolis very sG largew OE as held this afternoon in St. Martin's Hall, for the purpose of passing resolutions to strengthen the position of the men. The chair was taken at one o'clock precisely by Mr. Thomas Crowmart, a member of the executive council, supported by Viscount Goderich, lier St. Andre. Thomas Hughes, Esq., A. Lon g , Esq. and the Cheva , The CHAIRMAN said he was a hard-fisted working man, and had hitherto found little opportunities to render himself capable of addressing a meeting like this. —(Hear, hear.) His heart, however, was in the cause creatures sincerely resist such no man who wished to they had mot to support. It was t o a ll ev i ate t h e con dition of the mechanic, and mitigate th e su ff er i ngs o f t h e advance ind igent;his fellowh e ea was r confident could .

It was not proper, however, that might s h ou ld tr i ump h over right, and they had, therefore, no alternative but to l ear .) and t o g i ve every one assemble in public meeting like this.—(gear, 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 he ggle. had — at length (Hear.) H e was was happy to say some of the masters, who a gree d w ith them that their demands were just, had come f orwar d to gladassist mechanicalt through the t h engineers deter mined to do for themselves what hitherto they h a d d one for a few indi v id ua ls. There was plenty of wor k i n t h e country, and the men were prepared to undert a ke it.— (Hear, h ear .)

Ile 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 step 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.—(Clear, hear.) For his part, he had faith in the justice of the struggle, and he was satisfied that the question would be even tually dc,:ided in their favour.— (dear, hear.) 'rho 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 tho me e ti ng , t h at " as a means of removing the evils which beset th o condition of wor ki ng men, in e o relation t o th e un j ust conduct of employers, we recom mend operative Comm principle oif mPi e Y n m c commenced t b on a the workmen co-operative basis ; and thi s mee ti ng is of opinion that workshops thud theb immediatelye themselves, in o r d er that the business of the country may be proceeded w ith . " This concluded the bu s i ness of the day; an d a vo t e o f thanks having been passed to the chairman, the meet ing, which was densely crowded throughout, quietly broke up. THE NEW GOV.ERNOR OF TIIE CAPE. The successor of Si r H arry Smith in the (From the Ti mes .) c ommand of the C a p e h as been named, and is just upon the eve of departur e f or the seat of war. It is M ajor - General the lion. G eorge Cathcart, w ho has been re moved from the D e p uty-Lieutenancy of the Tower o f London, and is appoint e d to replace Sir Harry S m ith i n K a f ra ria. Th e se l ect i on, we trust, important may prove a fortu nate one, although there is little in General Cathcart's antecedents which would seem to mark him out as the most competent person to fill such a post. We find by the Ar my List that he entered the service in May, 1810, and h age. Thus far all i s we l l. General Cathcart may fairly ho asaumed to be in p ossession of full mental v i gour sad bo d i ly W p e o b w e e' s omething less than sixty years of a b s tract of his servi ces which the Army List suppl i es, l e ire. But when we come to turn to p he brief t h e account epeears somewhat bald and unsatisfac tory, with reference to hi s present appo i ntment. One might naturally hav e expected that an o ffi cer o f considerable experience i n the peculiar spec i es of warfare Prac:i , ied at the appointed to the command. The little service that General Cathcart ever w itnessed—about forty years ago--was entirely involved in military operations on the largest paigns to have acted in any other capacity Cap © would have been scale. Nor does h e app ea r throughout his acsaamstaff-officer. In the years 1813-14 Licutcnent acted AS Aide-de- Camp to his father, Lord Cathcart, who was present with the allied armies as a kind of English Commissary. C tbtr a ai t en h f cart, then a very young m an, antzen, D resd e n, Leipsic, in 1813; and throughout the advance into France, in He was present at Lutzen, B the early part of 1314. In 1815 Lieutenant Cathcart acted as Aide-de-Camp to the Duke of Wellington, and Quatre Bras and Waterloo. All the military - operations named were, of course, on the most gigantic scale, ,'. but what instruction could they afford in the art of bUen-fi ghtiog at the Cape? We can readily conceive that som e of our Indian officers witnessed the battles of Sveosuthern Africa. The case go one, considering the mag sfkoiurmndishtheesmosfel seems very different with a Young staff-officer of the comparatively at home in great German campaign of 1813. We cannot but notice nitade of the interests involved, and the mig 'l a t h have arp the comparative disgrace to the British arms which so f ar h as b een the result of the operations. the appointment as a strange been superseded (From the Daily N ews.) If the Sunday medium of Governm ent . rectly instructed—Sir Harry Smith bu gossip be nor in the government of the Cape of Good Rope by Ma'or the Cape, no General George Cathcart. That the ti me hadcome i for tho withdrawal of Sir Harry Smith froua a Permanent peace. one can doubt. He had in the beginning of his admit hastily patched up One liafir war without having gained any security against the recurren eof another; ho had been deluded into the belief that hi e !' ill arranged truce was in reality Whilst his old enemies wore but recruiting, no unprehension. giving them fresh grievances to reveng e . erect attempt to degrade the principal B ir y c h h is i h e e f i s n , wdi h as : rashly threat was precipitating those hostilities of whi eh ho was as suring the Imperial Government he had vouchsafed to his And in the conduct of the war ho had suffered a succes sion dotof reversunfor tunateesexterminate at t the ey handbl oom.s of s Nor, avag e whilstsh© more sucees ful in the internal administration of the colony. For in the government interval a constitution by foolishly pressing _ ,n unnecessary ,i s. ordinances of very minor importance in the I ~[ ,lve Council—the elective members of which had beenchosen for the ono nearreeestftenddthe formationtranquillity of special object of filling in the de tails o f the constitution, of which Earl Grey had sent bu t the o utline. Th o ti me , it will therefore be admitted by eve ry one, had fully come for the Colonial.office to withdraw from the colony a spirit the gallant old soldier whom, dur in g of national enthusiasm, it had sent thither to pain 3 -. a momentary round of popular applause. m th a is n Major-General George Cathcart is Sir Harry's suc cessor. To this appointment in a_military point of view Boin i b sG a there is probably no objection. "I:hengh not a young and commands of the well rewarded the yseonmae and General h l i C r3i Cathcart t d h r Caas painedrat armies m s iawejuvenileshohoa have e the beenm a j o confidede r abi; Whigs to aged invalids. Though a member of an for its public services, General Cathcart is one of aris tocratic family, which has been unusually the few English officers who in time of peace have studied the 411 nod science of war, Aucl, thQugh MONDAY EVENING, JANUARY 12, 1852, as yet he has only served in subordinate ca pacities, ho has seen " the great war that makes ambition virtue," under captains and 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 coriparative 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 tho Cape, as well as the command 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 politics 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, which the present Secretary of the Government, Mr. John Montague, has acquired at the Cape; and to which supremacy the colonists ascribe their present plight. For as General Cathcart's imme diate mission will be on the frontiers —there to conduct a harassing war—the whole weight of civil affairs must remain on the shoulders which now bear it. What the Cape required under this state of things was a division of the civil and military authority_ a governor comp tent 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.

MIDLAND GREAT WESTERN RAILWAY OF IRELAND. —The engineer's estimate for constructing the proposed Longford Deviation and Cavan Branch lines, to abandon part of the line to Longford, and to transfer the liabili ties of the trustees of the New Royal Canal Company to the railway company, is 300,0001.; and this the direc tors propose to:defray out of a surplus in hand of 468,0001., and which sum will remain unexpended after the exe cution of all authorised works, out cf their original capital share and loan of 2,596,666/.

INFANTRY FIRING. MUSKET BALLS. -- Marshal 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 Tourney, in Flanders, fought on the 22d of May, l 794, it is calculated that two hundred and thirty-six musket shots were expended in disabling each soldier who suffered.—Notes and Queries.

APPREHENDED FALL OP 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 such a catastrophe taking place sborings have been put up so as to support the large arches, which are designed in imitation of the transept of the Crystal Palace, es also to strengthen the stanchions and walls upon which they rest. It is stated by practical men that in propor tion to the span' of an arch, more especially when of such a bow as those in course of erection at the ter minus of the Great Northern Railway, the stanchions or supporters, should be increased in thickness and copse qnent strength, and the failure in the present instance is the circumstance that the outer walls, or stanchions on which the arches at the Great Northern terminus rest, are not of suffi cient thickness to bear the superincumbent pressure of the immense arches resting upon them, and the resu lt is that.B symptoms have been perceived of their giving the base. With a view, if possible, to prevent the calamity way towards likely to result from the falling of such immense wo r even the:labour and expense of pulling down and rebuilding, large bodies of men in the employ of Mr. Jay, the contractor, under the direction of Mr. Lewis Cubitt, the architectien and )e and por i t t er * 13 s engineer of the Great Northern Company , em ployed in strengthening the foundation s of and otherwise adding to the calibre of the hoped and believed that their efforts successf ulwi llbe in htahvee walls, su sustaining the arches without further fear of settlement of the foundation. The establishment and, on Monday last, the formal opening of the Exchange at Wolverhampton (really the me tropolis of the iron districts) cons titute a characteristi c o f the present period. Wolver ham p ton is the principal resort on matters of business for the ironmasters of South Stallard shire; and the erection of so splendid and convenient a struc ianshlvbeithaonptes ture as that now occupied by the merchants and manufac turers of the neighbourhood is highly credit a bl e, it will be equally profita ble, to the enter p risin g of that town. On Saturday the Metropolitan Typographical or N om inee Fund Society h e l d their second Widow, Orphan, annual meeting, at the School-room, Harp -alley, Fleet street, Mr. R. Hartwell in the chair. The report was read by the secretary, Mr. Longman, from which it appeared that the claims on the funds during the past year had been for sixteen deceased members, making i n all, since the first year of the society, twenty-two deaths, at 201. each death 410/. The funds were i n a flourishin g state, but members ad not, during the last year, so much increase in numbers as might h av e been expecte d. A letter was also rec e i ve d f rom Luke H an sard, Esq, informing the s oc i e t y of h is stillretaining the office of trustee. Several fresh committee-men were elected, the treasurer and secretary re- elected, and thanks Toed to the chitinuaa, after which the meeting separated. MAGAZINES, 8:c —(CONTINUED.) FRASER. 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 de s t roy all the towns, and turn every country . parish into a slave plantation, of which the parson is to be the b enevo l ent and philan thropic negro driver. His new novel, " patia ; 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. Th e scene i s laid in Alexandria, at the time that Cyril was bishop, and by his fierce appeals to the sufferings of an igno rant populace endeavouring to hound them on to the destruction of all learning, in order to reduce every thing to that one dead level of ignorance which i s th e only sure f oun d a ti on o f th a t unreasoning obedience without which a sacerdotal despotism cannot be estab lished. Thus does Cyril denounce the lecture-room s of philosophy :-- "But never, while these lecture-rooms last—these Egyptians chambers of imagery —these theatres of Sa tan, where the devil transforms himself into an angel of light, and ap es Ch r i st i an v i rtue, an d b e di zens hi s 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 for their cwa tyrannies and atheisrns, co long will the kingdom of God be trampled under foot in Alexandria; so long will the princes cf this world, with their gladiators, and parasites, and money-lenders, be masters here, and not the bishops atd priests of the living God." This is a very eloquent passage, but not more eloquent than many other passages to a similar effect to he found scattered up and down Mr. Kin sle 's sermons and his other w or k s . llypatia h . gerselfis a Y delightlul character; high-mind e d, educated, learned in all the learning of the Platonists, yet most modest, most gentle, most virtuous, a n d f ar - see i ng, 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 Phalanstery, 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. Now thi s i s rea ll y qu i te 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 peopl e t oget h er—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 oat of his inmost heart; and then waited, expecting the good abbot to strike him on the spot. If he 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 unfrequently poetical, and the treatment is highly dramatic ; in fact, the lan guage and treatment is as good as the philosophy is bad. 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 his eloquence "realised the poet's idea of an impossi bility, and st ampe d so l d i ers out o f th e soil." We commend the following passage on the death of the Count Lamberg to the attentive perusal of those who throw away s o muc h v i rtuous indignation on red Republicans, whilst they can see no faults in red Emperors : " There can bo no doubt that the death of Count Lamberg 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 agitaters of that fatal period: no! 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, human and divine, and to believe that the strong hand must do light, whatever it may do. Tho se w h o accuse M r. K ossuth of directing the weapon which struck down Count Lamberg, ought not to spare Francis 11., who forged it." These are words of truth, of Risdoin, 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. %Ve 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, you: 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 describei 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 witlinadmirable no tice of M. Jules Bonnet's recently published bio graphy of Olympia Morata, one of the most perfect of women, whether as ,daughter, wife, or Christian — she was indeed a heroine. This is followed by a review of the Parker Society's edition of the works of Bishop Jewel; and then we have the fifth part of Mr. Harwell's admirable biography of Ulrich von nutten. In this part we have incidental notices of Pirkheimer and Sickingen, early and earnest reformers both. This number is illustrated by an engrving of the High Cross at Bristol as restored last year, and by several vignette illustrations to Mr. Thoutas Wright' s amusing " Wanderings of an Antiquary.

As usual, this periodical gives us elaborate and excellent engravings, and descriptions of recent patents. UNITED SERVICE. Lieutenant Walpole's " Ansayrii" is a favourite topic with the magazines this month, it forms the subject of a very interesting article in the United 'Service. " A Look into the Landes," by Angus 13. Reach ; "An Old Indian Hero," a sketch of the life of Sir Robert Rollo Gillespie, K.C.8.; a continua tion of General Yusuf's article " On War in Africa," " Sir Howard Douglas on Small Arms," and various other papers of general and particular interest com plete the number of this magazine for the new year. TAI T. A new fiction, " Norman Hamilton," commences in this number. "A Working-man's Way in the World" continues with spirit. " Our Latter-day Pamphlet" contains a very severe, and, to our think ing, most undeserved condemnation of the histor ic works of Miss Agnes Strickland. LIFE AND EPISTLES OF ST. PAUL. This hFantiful series a engravings a the princ i pal places visited by the Great Apostle of the Gentiles, together with the Rev. Mr. Conybeare's biography 0 the Apostle, continues with undiminished excellence. NE W MUSIC. We have several attractive musical compositions published by Mr. Hammond, 9,: New Bond-street, demanding our notice, and t o w h ich we can willingly accord our praise. " Lady de llley," a ballad by George Linley, is in a somewhat peculiar style, and capable of very 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 i 5 of Thee," by Frank Romer, is a well sustained and somewhat original melody, within easy compass of voice, and does great credit to th© talented young composer. " Thou shalt have Joy in Sadness soon," by Brinley Richards, is one of the best sacred songs we Nava heard for some time, being characterised by a flowing simplicity and strength that must find the way to the heart in all Sabbath night singing circles. In the " Madras Galop," by the same composer, we have a lively and well marked arrangement for dance music, inspiring enough to make head and heels in voluntarily obey it. " Mendelssohn's Songs without Words" are a selection from the finest of the great composer's works, by E. F. Rimbault; all the posi tive difficulties of reading, are obviated, and a mode rate performer may here achieve a certain degree of mechanical success, though we believe that the beauty of poetic thought and harmonious sentiment, so rife in all Mendelssohn's works, require 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. AT PRINCESS's RE. 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 was 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 th e Si r T o b y B e l c h o f M r. B ar tl ey , th e Olivia of Miss Murray, and the Duke Orsino of Mr. Wheatl e i g h. Wi th regard to Mr. Bartley ' s delineation of the bibacious old knight, those who are acsuainted 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 be 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. INDSOR, SITURDA.T. The Queen a n d Prince Albert walkcd in the Home park and Slopes this morning. The Prince of Wales, the Prinoess Royal, and the Royal children took their usual morning exercise. There were no additions to the Royal dinner party.
