the later one pencilled by a sunbeam, being an exact copy from a very recent photograph. On the title-page—vignette-wise — there appears a tiny woodcut drawing of No. 7, Great Cheyne-row, Chelsea, the residence of Mr. Carlyle ever since 1834. Among the characteristic anecdotes here told of Carlyle in this most accept able little volume is that one related originally ,by Mr. Horne about the saturnine Carlyle and the hope ful Leigh Hunt, after a long contention one evening about the probabilities of the hca.rafter, sallying forth at last to find out of doors a magnificent star light night. " Now Carlyle's done for, " thought Hunt : 66 he can have no answer to that !" 66 There I look up there, " he cried—" look at that glorious harmony that sings with infinite voices an eternal Song of Hope in the Soul of Man." Carlyle look ing up—the others remaining silent to hear what he Would say—quoth at last, after a pause, in a few low-toned words delivered with a good Scotch ac cent 6' Eli ! it's a sad sight !" No wonder they all laughed—Leigh Hunt sitting down on a door step to have his laugh out comfortably. No wonder the next minute they all looked very thoughtful. . 1 7- c trat b r. , HER MAJESTY.

The annual election of two citizens to fill the office Of sheriffs of London and Middlesex took place to-day in the mufidhall. There was more than ordinary interest attend -I°g the proceedings from the fact that the return of the two •1 4, lin. VOte candidates, Alderman Waterlow and Mr. Lycett, was _ opposed by Mr. Bennett, citizen an d watchmaker. Durin g the last week frequent meet in gs have been held by t-ba gentlemen conducting t he contest on the part of Mr. B ennett and this morning, from the number of "posters" all in Guildhall - yard , the business of the daybore ' the appearance of a sha r p -contes'., e d election of a mem - ll yr for the Commons House of Parliament.

He was a gentlem an well known to th e of them, and he felt he would effect uall y discharge duty if elected.

The same ov ertures had kitoccasion, e made to Mr. Bennett this year as those made o n the k Occasion, viz., "retire this year and then we will pro to: You our support on a future occasion." He, as chair- Nvi tl , o f Mr. Bennett's committee, felt that it entirely rested wi ,' that gentleman to say whether he would persevere 1 14 ' 1 1 . hii election thatyear—(cries of " Yes, yes,")—but if N /li t ' o l d, and was successful, the livery would elect a man lar Would do his duty firmly and uprightly.

MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK. STOPPAGE OF ANOTIIER BANK. The suspension has been announced this morning of the private banking-house of Sir Charles Price, Bart., Marryat, and Co., of King William-street. The firm has been established for more than a cen tury, and was consequently one of the oldest as well as the most influential of private banks. Its busi ness, however, has of late years largely fallen off, owing principally to the rivalry of the joint-stock system. No estimate has yet been formed of the assets or liabilities, but they are not believed to be considerable. vv The Money Market continues to show symptoms of activity, and the supply of capital afloat is more abundant. Bankers and brokers, however, will only negotiate the best short-dated paper, at prices ranging from 1 per cent. below the official quota tion of 10 per cent. In the Stock Exchange daily loans on Government securities are charged 6 and 7 per cent. A small amount of gold was taken to the Bank of England on Saturday, viz., £2,000. Sir John Gray, who presented a petition for winding up Lafitte and Co. (Limited), has stated his willingness to receive any offer for the arrange ment of the matter, and a withdrawal of the peti tion, that can be carried out. The Bedford Bank (Messrs. Barnard, Barnard, and Wing) have transferred their account to Messrs. Smith, Payne, and Smiths. The report of the directors of the St. John Del Rey Mining Company, just issued, recommends a dividend of £4 per share, free of income tax. From the manufacturing districts the accounts during the past week represent that business gene rally has been particularly inactive. At Manchester both cloths and yarns have further declined, with a very limited inquiry for either home requirements or for exportation. In the woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield there has been no animation ; while at Leicester and Nottingham the hosiery and lace trades have shown dullness, and at Birmingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton most branches of trade are working short time. ~...•••••... - Two o'CLocK.

In the country markets, held on Saturday, the trade for wheat was very firm, and prices advanced 2s. to 3s. per quarter. All descriptions of spring corn were held at en hanced rates, and, in most instances, prices were ls. per quarter higher than in the previous week. Flour changed hands at enhanced currencies. On the continent the wheat trade has ruled firm, and higher prices have been obtained. Barley, oats, beans, and peas have had an upward tendency in price. At New Ycrk, however, the trade is dull on easier terms. The imports of foreign produce last week were 13,279 quarters of wheat, 1,759 barley, 44,598 oats, 35 beans, 210 peas, 5,039 maize, 2,250 sundries, and 1,952 sacks of flour. Fresh up to-day the arrivals of English wheat, coast wise and by land carriage, were on a limited scale, and in but middling condition. All kinds were in request at 3s per quarter above the rates current on Monday last. Qua lities fit for consumption in Yorkshire would have pro duced 4s per quarter advance. Town millers—who hold full average stocks of wheat--purchased cautiously. We were tolerably well, but not to say heavily, sup plied with foreign wheat. The purchasers were not very numerous ; nevertheless, the trade was in a healthy state, at 2s to 38 per quarter above the quotations r ealised on this day se'nnight. Floating cargoes of wheat a d vance d is to 2s par quar ter, with an improved demand. All other produce afloat was very firm. _ . Tho show of both English and foreign barley was limited, and sales progressed steadily, at in some instances a rise of is per quarter. Malt was in fair average supply and steady request, at very full prices. The show of home-grown oats was limited ; of foreign extensive. A large business was doing in most kinds, at an improvement in value of is per quarter. Beans were a slow inquiry, at last week's currency. The supply was limited. ---- In peas very little was doing ; prices, - - howover, were supported. Flour was held at a further advance of 2s per 2801 bs. On the whole the trade was firm.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROULETTE PLAYING IN HYDE-EARX.—Thos Davids, a well-dressed young man, described as a clerk, living at 33, Lawrence-street, Walworth, was charged before Mr. Tyr whitt with playing at a game called roulette in Hyde park. Inspector Green, of the A division, said—l was in Hyde park on Saturday evening, about six o'clock, when I saw the prisoner playing at roulette, a large number of persons being round him at the time. I saw the prisoner take up some money from the board and I then seized him and found 3d. in his hand, and on my charging him with gambling he said that he certainly was playing, but that he was ignorant it was against the law. On searching him I found £1 10s. in gold and £1 14s. in silver upon him. I believe him to be respectable. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Respectable ! Because you found the money on him, I suppose. Tho Inspector—His father is a respectable man. Mr. Tyrwhitt—Does the prisoner wish to say anything ? The prisoner—l am in such a novel position that hardly know what to say. Mr. Tyrwhitt (to the prisoner)—You . perfectly well know that gambling in the park is not allowed. Your conduct has been most mischievous in robbing persons of their money, for it is well-known that it is 100 per cent. in favour of the person who keeps the roulette table. I shall fine you 40s. or a month. The apparatus used by the prisoner, and which was ex hibited to the magistrate, was of the usual kind to bo seen in the hands of gamblers on racecourses. ROBBERIES AT TILE VOLUNTEER REVIEW.—John Downes, a labourer, was charged, before Mr. Tyrwhitt, with steal ing a gold watch, of the value of 120, from the person of a gentleman named Pollen, residing at Brompton. Tho prosecutor said that on Saturday evening, about seven o'clock, he was near the flag-staff at the Volunteer Review in Hyde Park, when, just as the ladies and gen tlemen were leaving, there was a great pressure caused by the crowd, and he felt himself touched, and at the same time hoard the click like that of a pistol. On putting his hand down it came in contact with the prisoner's wrist, and directly after ho missed his watch, of the value of 120. He immediately seized the prisoner, who let his watch, which was broken at the bow, fall a his feet. Ho then called a constable and gave the prisoner into custody, being determined to prosecute him for the protection of the public. Lush, 198 C, proved taking the prisoner into custody. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he would remand the prisoner for a week, that the police might see whether ho was known. If not, he would bo committed for three months, but if he had been previously convicted ho would bo sent for trial. _ . . _ There woro a few othor cases of robbery in Hydo-park, on Saturday evening, and they were disposed of in various ways. THAMES. HORRIBLE MURDER IN ROSEMARY-LAN - E.—Patrick Har rington, an Irish labourer, 77 years of ago, was brought up before Mr. Paget, charged with the wilful murder of Peter Mann, his son-in-law. Tho fatal affray took place in Rosemary-lane, White chapel, last night at 12 o'clock. The murder was com mitted in the street in the presence of several persons. Mann and his wife wore quarrelling, and her father (the prisoner) interfered, and, without saying a word, plunged a knife into his son-in-law's breast. The unfortunate man fell, exclaiming, "I am stabbed." Dr. J. Loane, of No. 1, Dock-street, Whitechapol, was fetched:. Ho found the man was dead. He only survived three minutes after h e was stabbed. There was a large wound on the right side of the chest, from which blood had issued freely. The pri soner fled away directly he had stabbed his son-in-law. Inspector Deady, of the H division station-house in Leman street, immediately sent constables in all directions in pur suit of the prisoner, who was soon in custody. The knife was found in the street near the place where tho murder was committed. Cornelius Leary, a tailor, and his wifo, who saw tho pri soner stabb Mann, gave evidence to that effect. Dr. Loano believed tho wound was tho cause of death, but ho could not state what internal parts were injured until the post-mortem examination of the body. Mr. Paget committed the prisoner for trial. Tho horrible affair has created a great sensationin Rose mary-lane, whore rows and fights among the Irish have been frequent. An immense number of Irish assembled in the street all night, and there was a good deal of excite ment, wailing and groaning. The prisoner was brought down to the court in a cab, which was immediately sur rounded by a great number of persons. Some difficulty was experienced in removing him from th 6 vehicle. WESTMINSTER. A DRUNKEN BRUTE.—James Smith, of 3, South-street, Chelsea, was charged with assaulting his wife. Tho latter, as usual in cases of this character, did not seek to havo him punished, but admitted she wanted pro tection. Mr. Selfe said ho must know the particulars of the ease before he could grant her any. Complainant now unwillingly told her story. She had been married to the defendant for 17 years, and ho was her second husband. She had three grown-up children by her first husband, and one of her sons was there on Satur day night, and took her part, when her husband assaulted her. Mr. Selfo—Has he ever struck you before? Wife—Repeatedly, and he prevents my getting any liv ing, for he won't work himself. He is a good man when he is sober, but when he breaks out, ho is drunk for a fortnight at a time. Mr. Belle—What business do you follow ? Wife—l keep a wardrobe-shop, and support him out of the business. Mr. Selfe—lle is described as a bootmaker. Wife—lf any boots or shoes aro brought in I give them to him, and he mends them up for pocket-money and gets drunk with it. Mr. Selfo—What did ho do to you on Saturday night ? Wife—Cut me, as you see, on the forehead, and I bled so much that I was saturated in blood. lie locked me in, and my sou was obliged to break the door open to get me out. Defendant, who appeared in a muddled state, said he had nothing to say. In a squabble with his wife, ho might have struck her. Prisoner was committed for 14 days, and ordered to ad bail for 6 months.

THE MOVEMENTS OF THE ARMIES ON THE CONTINENT. Lord RAVENSWORTH said, seeing the noble lord at she head of the Government in his place, I beg to ask him whether the statement that has appeared in :he London papers, and corroborated by a statement in the Moniteur to the effect that the Hanoverian army had been surrounded and had been compelled to capitulate was correct ? I have also to ask whether the statement with regard to the Italian army was authentic ? The public interest on both points was intense. Earl RUSSELL—I have only to reply to my noble friend that the Government have received no official or authentic information on the matters referred to. THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS. Earl RUSSELL, who spoke in a low tone of voice, said her Majesty's Ministers considered that, in conse quence of the vote which took place in the other house in reference to the great Ministerial mea sure, that they had only one course to pursue, and that was to tender their resignation. In my capacity as Prime Minister I had to forward that formal resignation, and I have received an answer from her Majesty to the effect that she hoped tho Ministry would not persist in forcing that resignation, especially in consideration of the present excited state of affairs on the Continent. We are to meet her Majesty to -morrow at Windsor between 12 and 1 o'clock, and under these circumstances I have to ask the house to postpone the consideration of public business until to morrow at six o'clock. Tho suggestion was agreed to. Their lordships then adjourned. HOUSE OF COMMONS—Tats EVENING. Tho SPEAKER took the chair at 4 o'clock, at which hour thoro was a large attendance of members.

Mr. FAWCETT gave notice of his intention to put a question to the President of the Poor Law Board as to what steps it was proposed to take with respect to the sanitary condition of the London workhouses. THE MINISTERIAL CRISIS. The CHANCELLOR of the EXCHEQUER said his noble fri en d a t t h e head of t h e G o vernment hahlouob se " ob tained her Majesty's permission to ac quaint the that, in conseque n c e o f the vote Monday last, ' her Majesty's advisers had deemed 1' t their duty it was not to tender to her Majesty their resignation, but her Majesty was pleased to cons i d e r that advisable de ra tien to (e l is accept hte their hee ring ) re s ig nationr x_a w .es it t h y ou fee t f l u ie rt g he it r n co eee ns a i: sary to have w il l muni i cation with them ; noble friend at the her . Majesty was and, while he was himself were to o h n ead her e r f oad the to meet G Wrw oi ls e d rn s ni s.P° e;t Hilsn a g nd L a nces, he should move that the . her Majesty at one o c lo c k.U h nd e e e r ee th a o t se it c s ir r c i u si n n i- g s adjourn until to-morrow at six o'clock. It was not, therefore, proposed to proceed with any public b us i n ess likely to occasion debate, but there was a motion which would be made by his hon. friend, and it was a vote on account of the revenue and packet service, which was to enable certain payments to bo made at the end of the month which it was desirable to provide for. That would be the only Government business proceeded with that night. Mr. CHILDERS said he found he could not proceed with his motion for the ♦ote on account without notice, and therefore he should postpone it for the present. The orders of the day were then disposed of, and the house adjourned until to-morrow at six o'clock. The feeling in the house appeared to be perfectly unex. citable. Not a cheer welcomed the appearance of the Chancellor of the Exchequer when he entered the house, and not the slightest manifestation took place when the right hon. gentleman resumed his seat. The business of the day was very speedily disposed of, after the announcement of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and the members then rose from their seats and quitted the house. Four members, however, sat in close conversation or the front bench below the gangway for some time after all the members of the Government and Opposition had left, and thoso four were Mr. Lowe, Lord Elcho, Earl Grosvenor, and Sir Charles Russell. The topic under discussion seemed to be very interesting, as it was carried on by the hon. members with the greatest animation. There was great excitement outside the house, nearly 1,000 of the working classes having assembled to witness the entrance of the members. On the entrance of Mr. Doulton he was received with loud groans and hisses. Mr Lowe and Mr. Disraeli were received in a similar manner. Sir Lytton Bulwer was received with the greatest respebt, most of the persons present lifting their hats, which was Mr. Bernal was respectfully Osborneacknowleandgd lin edbyLtahyarere came i l ghtho i n a . baronet. for a fair share of applause, but when Mr. Gladstone arrived in his carriage, accompanied by his son, the member for Chester, the enthusiasm of the crowd knew no bounds. Mr. Gladst o n e , as h e q uitted the house, again received another ovation by the crowd, and the cheering that greeted him as he emerged from Westminster Hall was tremendous. Mr. Bright and Mr. Fawcett also received the most enthusiastic applause, but when Sir Robert Peel, Mr. Lowe, and Lord Dunkellin made their tb S a h l Sir Robert et crowdr .appearance ow t li h e te e h e alohnuhissing seemedg lordship i d tgh hooting was loud and general. y slightestnd madei n a indignant noticefr at h w i s oafythre reception, noou igsyh demonstration. SPORTING NOTES. The races last week call for no particular remark. The fields at Aintree were ridiculously small com pared with the extent of the entries, particularly for the principal two-year-old races, the Lancashire Produce Stakes and the Badminton Stakes, which, though of considerable value, being contended for by nothing better than Arundel, Frost, Romping Girl, Tynedale, and Eastby and the defeat of Arundel by Frost, a very clever shaped colt by Weatherbit, caused the utmost astonishment, as Lord Stamford was so confident in the success of his horse that he betted 9 to 2 on him, an example that was followed by many of the " talent" to their cost. The Spigot Lodge stable was in great form during the meeting, as Windham won the Molyneux Cup, and Capt. Gray had also the grati fication of seeing Terror defeat Pintail, Vespasian, and four others for the Liverpool Cup. Vespasian, considering that he was giving the grandson of Faugh-a-Ballagh 161 b, ran a good horse, but could not quite stay the mile and a half. The sport at Chelmsford and Ipswich was quite as indifferent as at Aintree, and beyond the easy overthrow of Tormentor for the Chelmsford Stakes, effected by . both Ostregor and Saccharometer, who gave her quite weight enough, considering the distance was but seven furlongs, I have nothing to notice, for thoen were two-y very ear- moderate , oldsthatrn with aon the Gail epeyexwocodtiConomoi Com mon the French horse Montagnard, Canard, and the colt by Yellow Jack out of Verona, all of whom will win in their turn. There are four meetings appointed for the ensuing week, viz., Newcastle on-Tyne, Worcester, Hungerford, and New Forest, all of which are likely to attain fair success, par ticularly the first named, now that the principal noblemen and gentlemen resident in Northumber land have given the Tyneside reunion their support. The principal race is the Northumberland Plate, for which Mr. Merry has put down the money on The Primate to the extent of £l,OOO. No man is a better judge in large handicaps, and without going through the performances of the other horses engaged, I shall give a plumper for TILE PRIMATE, And leave Lady Durham, Miss Haworth, and Honesty, to fight it out for places. Lady Durham, I think, is certain to get honourable mention from the judge. A. FRESH MAN. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.—This Day. VICTORIA CLUB.—Tms DAY. NORTHUMBERLAND PLATE.

This may be considered a very good passage, as we had to economise our coal. When we left St. John's we had 400 tons on board, and we drew 15 feet 10 inches. When working up to full speed we burn . 40 tons in the 24 hours. We had some dirty weather in crossing the Bay of Fundy, but I am of our p consorts, happy our t o say ma better ourde maxim um wor ro k il o i f ug if h t e r ug n either only seven degrees, while theirs was as high as 24 degrees. We have four engines driving brass twin screws, four bladed, of twelve feet diameter. Using our coal with great economy we averaged seven knots all the way across the Atlantic. We remain hero for a few days, when we will continue our voyage to Russia, calling at Portsmouth.

As the deck is without bulwarks and only three feet above the water when our fuel is on board, the sea washes over it. The turrets are cylinders, 23 feet in diameter, and over 8 feet high. Each carries two Dahlgren guns, which throw spherical shot of 480 lbs., or a 15-inch shell of 360 lbs. For a round shot the charge is 35 lbs., but the guns can stand GO lbs. if required. As we can turn the turrets by' machinery, only one port is required for each gun, and when loading this port can be protected by a semi-hoop of enormous strength swung against the orifice. The British ships Black Prince and Achilles are here, and the officers have been much inter ested in our ships, as are all the people of Cork, if we may judge by the crowded steamers which have come down to have a look at us, and we meet with great courtesy everywhere.
