MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE, TWELVE O'CLOCK'. The inquiries for money to-day in the Discount Market are not particularly active, yet the rates are well sustained, capitalists showing little dispo sition to relax their their terms even for the best quality of mercantile bills. There seems, however, to be an opinion that some increase of ease will be experienced, especially as a check has been given to the wholesale introduction of ephemeral under takings. Those now submitted to the public are, for the most part, genuine, yet the prospects are somewhat marred by the heavy calls which week after week are officially notified. The activity of trade will no doubt sustain au average demand for discount accommodation, and this impression prevailing the market for the moment exhibits a steady appearance. was a further influx of £19,000 of Gold into the Bank of England yesterday. The movements of the precious metals during the past week have been on a rather moderate scale. The imports have amounted to about £242,984, chiefly from Australia and New York ; while the exports have been ;to the extent of £237,659, a large proportion of which has been to the East Indies and China. 2 Two O'CLOCK.

TUE PROGRESS OF RUSSlA.—Advices from St. Petersburg state that a Russian artist is preparing for the Paris Exhibition of next year an allegorical representation of the events in the reign of the present Czar. A group of !`cultural implements denotes the progress of the country In that branch of industry. A broken chain typifies the abolition of, serfdom. Figures of Hope, Faith, and Charity commemorate the publicity of judicial proceedings, reli gious tol era ti on, and the abolition of corporal punishment, There seems in this design to be no reference to Poland or Cireassia.

With numerous original and unpublished Docu ments. By Elizabeth Cooper, author of " A Popular History of America." 2 vols. Hurst and Blackett. An enthralling chapter of the romance of his tory chronicles the fortunes, or rather we should say the misfortunes ; of Arabella Stuart. This hapless lady, after a long imprisonment, expiated by a death in prison, her only crime, the inherit ance of the name of Stuart, a name almost inva riably synonymous with misfortune. This inte refting history has been recorded in a most inte resting manner by the talented authoress of a popular history of America. With a skilful hand she has selected and presented to us numerous hitherto unpublished documents relating to the unfortunate subject of her memoir, and in so doing she has with a graphic pencil pourtrayed to us the domestic life and manners of the period. Thus we find the early days of Arabella, which were passed at Hardwick Hall, under the care of the Earl and Countess of Shrewsbury, minutely particularised. At seven in the morning breakfast was served to the royal lady in her own apartment—a right royal apartment hung with rich tapestry. This broakast was sufficiently substantial, consisting of " Half a loaf of household bread, a manchet, or loaf of the finest flour, a quart of ale, and a chicken or some broiled bones." Prayers followed, and then the studious maiden devoted herself to her books. Languages formed the chief object of her studies— Latin especially—but French, Italian, and Spanish were likewise taught her, grammatically and conver sationally. She had also to study the Greek Testa ment, and Plato in the original, to receive lessons on the lute and virginals, which, with instruction in spinning and embroidery, " physick," surgery, con fectionery, and " herbs" must have given her enough to do. Dinner was served an hour before noon with great state and ceremony. The rest of the day was spent in hunting, or in various games and pastimes within doors—interrupted only by the supper at seven, and prayers in the chapel at ten--- after which the household separated for the night. Thus tranquilly passed the early days of the unhappy Arabella Stuart. The vicissi tudes of her after career, fluctuating between a palace and a prison, are very faithfully depicted. Sad indeed is the termination to her brief dream of happiness, and with regretful sympathy the reader of this very interesting narrative closes the last volume which records the fate of Arabella Stuart. 40k 3c 501 4 41 401 914 341 12 1341 31 1001 7,1 I 1031 I i Drafts on My Memory. By Lord William Pitt Lennox. Two Vols. Chapman and hall. A pleasant gossipping book of anecdote and re miniscence, relating, as the author tells us, to Men he has known, Things he has seen, and Places he has visited. These Men and Things and Places are for the most part well deserving of remembrance, the Men including in their number the names of Wellington, Byron, Kemble, Brumwell, Theodore Hook, Sir Robert Peel, Count d'Orsay, Sydney Smith, Cardinal Fesch, Grimaldi, O'Connell, Sheil, Talleyrand, and others. As a specimen of some of the amusing Things in particular Places pleasantly described to us, let us take almost at random the following examples of what the author justly denominates, "My Own Prowess" : An aquatic deed of my own caused me no little prid , though it is scarcely fair to mention it after such achieve ruents. I was staying with Ball Hughes at a villa he had for the summer, on the banks of the gentle Mole, near Esher. We had all been at Epsom Races, and were dusty and hot. While lounging on the lawn before dressing, I remarked what a luxury it would be to have a swim. "Can you swim ?" asked my host. " Pretty well," I replied. " I'll bet you fifty pounds," continued he, "that you do not jump in head foremost as you are, swim to that tree and back in five minutes." " I sup pose if I say done," I replied, "I may take off my hat, and leave my watch in your possession." "I agree to the latter, not to the former. Is it a bet ?" "It is." "George," said the Golden Ball, addressing the late Sir George Womb " you must be timekeeper. When William Lennox ready, you must give the word. He must take a header, swim for that willow tree, touch its branches, and return in five minutes." The word was given, I plunged in head foremost, and found myself regularly " baaneted" under the water, as my hat had slipped down over my face. In a second or two I raised it, swam out, reached the goal, te44 , .414— , 4 , vtri,,,,,44 ws back at the startinK-place q with a minute to spare. In less time than 1 can Tax° to record it, I ran up to my bed-room, took off my drenched garments, got between two blankets, and was down at dinner wonderfully refreshed in body, and still more in mind by the "refresher" of fifty pounds, which I found under my napkin. Since that period I have never caught a glimpse of the sluggish Mole without being reminded of my aquatic feat. I was equally successful in winning another wager from " The Golden Ball." The late Earl Fitzhardinge had made me a present of a splendid old hunter, called Goliah, whose wind was too much touched for a gallop, but who was perfect at a walk or a gentle trot, and as a fencer. One day I was driving him in a tilbury in Hyde-park, where, from his beauty and symmetry, ho was the admiration of all. Ball Hughes noticed him. " What a hunter he would make !" said he. "He was one of the best in the world," I responded ; " and oven now he would leap almost any fence in the country ; wonderful too at timber ; he would fiy over those railings." This was an allusion to some high wooden railings that then enclosed the park. " bet you five pounds," said the exquisite, " that he does not." "Done," said I; "I will do it to-morrow." "Oh, no," it must be done at once. The bet I propose is, that you have him taken out of the tilbury, and without saddle clear the highest rail in the park, in a sporting manner. "Done," said I, "with this stipulation, that as the rails are equally high near Kensington Gardens, you select one there, so as to be out of the way of the horse men and carriages." " Agreed," he said, " and Fred Fitz Clarence shall be the umpire." Fitz Clarence, Ball Hughes, his friend Lloyd, and myself, proceeded to the spot, where I took Goliah out of the tilbury, fastened his traces over his loins, undid tho bearing rein, got a "lift" on, and charged the rail, retaking the leap back again into the road. " Fairly won," declared the umpire ; " that animal would be worth four hundred pounds if his wind was Si sound." 103} 301 1(91 St 161 1 091 I 99i 981 ,ITIES. 94 i well, 104 1 3, 4 E7l 98 984 91 In justice to Lord William it must be observed that he generally prefers relating the prowess of others. His anecdotes are singularly varied, and excessively amusing, and a vein of good humour runs throughout the whole work. the " human angel" whose " voice cried in the wilderness." As a specimen of the musical versi fication and simple eloquence of the style, witness the closing lines of the first canto, " the Advent," in which the " Magnificat" is thus alluded to : ' Then Mary's pent-up joy burst forth in song, That deathless song that lives iu echoes still ; The sweet Judean breezes sore along, Through all the world ! A melody to fill All hearts with ecstasy, all eyes with light, Make earth a Heaven, and Heaven itself more bright." Another eloquent passage celebrates the virtue of Patience. " Patience is silent Hope." The whole poem, throughout, is full of beautiful thoughts very beautifully expressed. Lectures on the University (,j . Cambridge in England. By William Everett, M.A., Trinity College, Cambridge. S. 0. Beeton. These very interesting lactures on the men and manners of the University of Cambridge, by an American, who has himself enjoyed the fostering care of Alma Mater, were originally delivered in America, and are now introduced to the English public. The author is the ion of the well-known Edward Everett, the American minister. he Model Ready Reckoner. One vol., pp. 288. Frederic Warne and Company. The handiest book of calculations we have ever been fortunate enough to light upon is this wonder ful little pocket volume, called (advisedly) by the publishers of it, The Mockl Ready Reckoner. Turn ing over the leaves and recognising at a glance the multiplicity of figures compacted together beyond all even proximate computation, within the compass of these 288 minute pages, it is really con soling to read the announcement put forth in the shape of a prefatory paragraph to the effect that the text (to insure its perfect correctness) has passed through the hands of numerous editors. One man must infallibly, if left to himself, have been landed in Bedlam. The division of • labour, here, was the best means that could have been hit upon for the avoidance of the otherwise imminent risk of in sanity. Here, indeed, is a case of limited liabi lity !

This is a very interesting little story, which vividly and naturally depicts the evil effects of in temperance. It is supposed to be related by one who nearly fell a victim to the evil habit which she describes. The enduring affection of the unhappy William Warder invests even his character with a passing interest, and the trials and temptations of the heroine Louisa are very truthfully described. It is a little work that is likely to do good. Little Foxes. By Mrs. Beecher Stowe. One Vol., pp. 188. Author's Edition. Bell and Daldy. " Little Foxes, or the insignificant little habits whizh mar domestic happiness," are the subjects of these very delightful and instructive sketches. , The title is suggested by the text—" Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines ; for our vines have tender grapes." The little foxes that spoil the tender grapes in the domestic vineyard of Home—" those unsuspected, unwatched, insignifi cant little causes that nibble away domestic happi ness," are here very dexterously transfixed by the_ potent pen of the popular authoress. The foxes entrapped in this volume are seven in number, namely—" Fault-finding," " Irritability," I , R e _ pression," " Self-will," " Intolerance," " Discour teousness," and " Exactingness." The same truth so happily sung by Moore— " A something light as air, a look, A word unkind or wrongly taken, Oh ! love that never tempests shook A word or touch like this has shaken " this universal truth is very effectively illustrated in Mrs. Stowe's very charming volume. These sketches are not in the form of didactic essays; they consist for the most part of anecdotes and examples inter woven into interesting tales. It is a book that is well deserving of perusal.

An Open Hunteri Stakes of 5 aovs each, with 30 added ; FUNERAL OF THE REV, JOHN KEBLE, The obsequies of the venerable author of the " Christian Year " took place yesterday at Hursley, near Winchester. There was a celebration of the Holy Communion at eight o'clock a.m., which was very numerously attended. The usual daily ser vice was at 11.30, and the funeral service followed. The lectern, pulpit, chancel, and the vacant stall of the deceased were hung with black. The solemn office was moat impressively intoned by the Rev. J. W. Richards, and the lessons were read by the Rev. F. 11. Fincher, both of these gentlemen being curates of Hursley. The body was conveyed from Bournemouth on the day previously, and placed iu the chancel of that church in which for nearly forty years he has ministered. The coffin was covered with a pall of violet-coloured cloth, on which was worked la largo red cross, and this was supported from the chancel to the grave by six of the former curates of the deceased. Long before the service commenced the church was crowded by all classes of people from far and near, anxious to pay a last tribute of respect to the memory of the much-beloved deceased. Amongst those present were Dr. Trench, Archbishop of Dublin, Dr. Hamil ton, Bishop of Salisbury, Dr. Forbes, Bishop of Brechin, Earl Nelson, Dr. Hook, Dean of Chiches ter, the aged and beloved Dean of Winchester (now in his 91st year), Dr. Pusey, Sir Wm. Heathcote, the member for Oxford University, whose seat is Hu Park, Dr. M o b er l y , th e A rc hd eacon o f Winchester, C. J. Le Geyt, Rev. C. Gutch, Hursley r, Rev. and about 100 other clergymen from various parts of this and the neighbouring counties. The coffin was followed by the relatives of the deceased, and A was lowered into the grave amidst the tears of a multitude of mourners. The coffin is of polished oak, on the upper half of the lid of which is a large gilt cross, and on its Lower part, over the feet, a brass plate, bearing the inscription : JOANNES KEBLE, Mart. Die xiix. A. S. MDCCCLXYL /Etat 74. In Jesu obdormivit. Dr. Pusey, it is said, will preach the funeral ser mon on Sunday morning at Hursley. Mrs. Keble was not at Hursley, being severely ill at Bournemouth, where Mr. Keble died. Indeed, these is too much reason to fear that his own death was hastened by the assiduous attention he has paid for some weeks past to his afflicted wife. Atlantic Te'egraph Banquet. A grand farewell banquet was given at the Palace Hotel, on Thursday evening last, by CYRUS W. FIELD, Esq., the originator of the Atlantic Tele graph, to his personal friends in London, pre vious to his departure to America.

Anderson, com mander of the Great Eastern ; Rev. Newman Hall, LL.B.; Payton Wright, Esq., inventor of the external portion of the new Atlantic Telegraph. The large dining-hall of the Palace Hotel was appropriately decorated with English and American flags. After the removal of the cloth, Mr. FIELD ex pressed in a happy manner the pride and gratifica tion it afforded him . to meet so many distinguished gentlemen and personal friends on that occasion. He was sure that all would join him most heartily in drinking the first toast of the evening, the health of her Majesty Queen Victoria, the Prince and Princess of \Vales, and the Royal Family. This sentiment was drank with great cordiality. Mr. FIELD then proposed the health of one whom he felt convinced all in that company respected and honoured, a man who had risen from the very humblest position to be the Chief Magistrate of one of the foremost nations of the earth. He offered the health of Andrew Johnson, President of the United States. This toast was received with ap plause and cheers. an. AA.: —I 4...,01- es; 4.110 catrOrtbo o_ lkfr. FIELD wi t ch was one to which they could al respona peculiar pleasure. They were honoured with the presence of a statesman who was respected alike in England and the United States, and whose official action, in a time of great delicacy and anxiety had done much to preserve peace and promote friend ship between England and America. He proposed the health of his Excellency the American Minister. (Loud applause, and three times three for the American Minister.) Mr. ADAMS said that when he received the in vitation to attend this_banquet he accepted it on the condition that he should not be required to make a speech. But he felt constrained to express his gratitude and thanks for the very complimentary manner in which he had been referred to. They were there, he said, to receive the hospitality of a gentleman whose name was identified with one of the greatest undertakings of the age. There had been a time, within the past five years, when the successful completion of the Atlantic Telegraph would have been to him an anxiety. There had been a time when his sleep was disturbed, and his rest broken by the reception of telegrams from all parts of Great Britain, and if they had been able at that time to have sent them from the other side of the Atlantic, he supposedhe would havehad no rest at all. Indeed only last year he was fearful that the com pletion of the Atlantic Telegraph would only in crease his official cares and anxieties. But now that was all past and gone. He was on the side of the Telegraph, and felt he could sleep quietly even after its completion, for he felt sure that it would be a readier and more rapid means of convey ing sentiments of peace and goodwill between this country and that which he had the honour to repre sent. Mr. Adams resumed his seat amidst loud ap plause. The fourth toast of the evening was " The Army and Navy of Great Britain," in connection with the names of two gentlemen who had honoured the company with their presence—Admiral Richards, R.N., and Mr. Romaine. Mr. Romaine briefly responded on behalf of the Admiralty, and was followed by Admiral Richards in an exceedingly happy and amusing speech. Mr. FIELD then proposed the fifth toast, " Pros perity to England," coupling with it the name of a distinguished member of the British House of Lords, the Earl of Caithness, and a no less distin guished commoner, Mr. Watkin, M.P. His Lordship the Earl of Caithness addressed the assembly at considerable length, passing a high encomium upon the American Minister, than whom no man in England was more respected, and com plimenting their worthy host on the faith and steadfastness with which he had prosecuted the great and important enterprise with which his name would always be identified. Mr. FIELD, on rising to propose the next toast, said—There was present on that occasion the His torian of the last Atlantic Telegraph, a scholar Ile a gentleman well known to all i n that roou . proposed the health of W. H. Russell, Esq.l and t ers ee s e p h o , k s e a t i h d e it s a w n a i s e u E s n sE gl L i L sinn in en a a n nd el A o tru p e r t . ha ß t language, read the same Bible, worshipped the same God, and obeyed s imilar laws, but these we re no reason s why they shou ld be particular friends. Sir C. Cresswell, late of the Divorce Court, knew how man and wife sometimes fell out. For his own part hej(the speaker) would much prefer to be abused in French or some other foreign l anguage th an t o have i to " catch t" from an American newspaper. The Press" was honoured with the usual acknowledgment, when speeches were made succes sively by Captain Anderson, of the Great Eastern, Professor Varley, Mr. Clifford, and several other professional and sci en tifi c gen tlemen. All the sper.x.ers were of opinion that the next attempt to la- the cable must be crowned with success, and that die cable now lying at the bottom of the Atlantic would be recovered without difficulty.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. - CRUEL CONDUCT TO A WlFE.—Patrick Tarpey, a tailor, residing in Carnaby-street, Regent-street, was brought before Mr. Knox, on a warrant by Rosekelly, one of the warrant officers, charged with assaulting his wife, Bridget Tarpey. The wife, who had a bad eye, said that on Thursday her husband, who when drunk was a man of the most violent temper, assaulted her and blackened her eye. In answer to Mr. Knox, the wife said she had been married eight years that day to the prisoner, and had four children. Rosekelly said that when he apprehended the prisoner yesterday ho was drunk and very violent, and he was obliged to get another constable to assist him. Tho pri soner tripped the other constable up, and it was with the greatest difficulty that he succeeded in getting the prisoner to the station. The landlord of the house told him the prisoner would be the death of his wife, and only a few minutes before he (Rosekelly) took the prisoner into cus tody, he having a large pair of shears in his hand at the time, threatened to rip his wife up, and at the station threatened to do for him (Rosekelly): some time or other. The prisoner had suffered one month for an assault on a constable. in answer to Mr. Knox, the officer said he believed it was all through drink. _ _ . Mr. Knox, after remarking on the prisoner's conduct, said that it was only for the wife's sake that he should deal with him as leniently as he was going to do, as he did not wish to cause her utter ruin. He should commit the prisoner for a month with hard labour, and hoped that would be a lesson to him. THAMES. /ROBBERY BY A LINENDRAPER'S SHOPMAN.—Etenry Chatfield, a young man, was brought before Mr. Partridge, charged with robbing his master. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, stated the case for the prosecution. The prisoner had been in the service of Mr. Joseph Dempsey, a draper, of No. 49, Crisp-street, Poplar, for the last five months at a salary of £2O per annum, with board ,and lodging. The prosecutor had missed a good deal of property in the course of that time. This morning he missed two shirts and two pairs of drawers from his stock. Mr. Dempsey called the prisoner and six other assistants together and told them he had missed property, and if they were honest they would not object to have their boxes searched. The prisoner and another offered their keys. Mr. Dempsey refused to take them. After that the prosecutor found the young men's bedroom door locked. Mr. Dempsey went to the police station and brought back a constable, whom he left out side the door, and took the prisoner with two others into the room. Another man's box in the room was searched Wit i tifOrt‘k9fir r3DlViriefdßekake Eacael his pairs of socks, and four pairs of drawers, valued in all .£2 2s. 6d. The whole were new and the property of Mr. Dempsey. Two coloured shirts produced were in the shop 10 days ago and had not been sold. The prisoner had admitted taking the property. Evidence was given in support of the solicitor's state went,v and it was prove d that w h en ho came i n t o M r . servicebee spending u sa d i i d . g h he verystummde freely, and m an o d ne a y, that he e h m a p d s e y' a lately con siderable sum was found upon him.

THE FORTHCOMING ELECTION COMMITTEES. — The following election committees will be chosen next week, namely :---Lewis, Cambridge, Reigate, Wexford, Horsham, Maidstone, Helston, and Bridgwater. It is not expected, however, that any of these committees will meet for actual business till the Tuesday in the following week THE LODGER FRANCHISE.—The revising barristers must be alarmed at the prospect of a lodger fran chise. A house appears upon the rate-book with a value attached to it, and therefore the overseers have no great difficulty in making out a list of the o ccu p iers entitled to vote. But it is otherwise with lodgers. The overseers cannot possibly ascertain wh o occupy lodgings of the e requisite value. Of necessity lodgers must not only make b e objected to if not qualified, but they their th ey cannotc lai ms, h b e u p t l aprove upon them, h list by t e very year; that is t o s a y, the overseers, who leave them to sendm ter u , st likeal i prove their claim. Now if, as in an y large boroughs, th e l o d gers will be counted m in otaher cla i m and appear before th e rev i s i n g barris claimants, to hearingof weeks all these will claimantsb e oceup i ; d Sap b y the b re vising s , b w ar ha ris t te n r u i m n br e that he can dispatch one case in ten minutes—and this is the shortest time in which all the inquiries can be made into rent, value, time, &c., necessary to establish a right to vote—a day of seven hours will suffice for forty only, and four hundred will occupy ten days. The savings-bank franchise must be equally the subject of yearly investiga tion. This practical view of the question does not appear to have occurred to any person either in Parliament or in the press.—The Law fimes of to-day. , BISLIOPRIC OF N ATAL.—It is intended th at the new Bishop in South Africa shall be Bishop of Maritz burg, not Bishop of Natal, that being the title of Dr • Colenso, who will of course maintain his legal rights in opposition to his Episcopal rival. It is generally under stood that the gentleman selected by Bishop Gray for the bishopric of Maritzburg is the Venerable Hugh Hyndmae Jones, M.A., archdeacon of Demerara, in the diocese oi Guiana. He was educated at Trinity College, Cambridge where he graduated in 1838, when he was fourth senior optime in the mathematical tripos. He was in early life curate of St. Bride's, Fleet-street, and of St. George's Hanover-square, after which he became assistant secre tary to the Society for the Propagation of the Gospenl n i Foreign Parts. I n 1854 he was a pp ointed archdeaco of Demerara and rector of St. George's Cathedral churc h. These offices he has held up to the present time. After his c onsecration the diocese of Natal will have two bishops ruling the same body of clerg y, one , appointed by the Queen, the other by t he Metropolitan. T he Queen's bishop will not bo acknowledged any longer by the Church at ,home, as the Archbishop of Canterbury has d eterm i ne d that communion wi th him must cease Morning Post.
