Th e parties are singularly ill-assorted, and neithe r is 'very anxious to fulfil the engagement. The scene is laid at various country houses, and sometimes in London ; a crowd of ladies and gen tlemen, dukes and duchesses, and members of Par liament are introduced to us. The story is sufficiently interesting, and the conversations sprightly. The de nouement at last takes place in a very usual situation, namely, the terrace of the House of Commons ! One of the parties interested being a member just fresh from speaking in his place in Parliament, and the other a fair lady, who had been listening in the Ladies Gallery. Circumscribed as are the accommo dations at present vouchsafed to ladies in the gallery, We are inclined to think that they would be yet fur ther curtailed were such breaches of privilege of very frequent occurrence ! Lights and Shadows of London Life. By the Author o f " Lost Sir Massingberd." Two vols. Hurst and Blackett. These articles, many of which have appeared in a serial form, are well worthy of collection and re- Publication. They are written in a genial and lively inanner, and wherever opened are certain to amuse. The first and longest paper which gives its name to tThreeycoorli fecotion, recounts the experiences of one John Trevarton, who, as John Stokes, of 3 a t er a rm u bidgee, returns a r i c h man t o hi s na ti v e land, lengthened absence in Australia. Among t ', 11 . 6 changes whi c h h e fi n d s h ave ta k en p l ace d ur i ng Ins absence he thus describes the alterations in the the game of cricket : Let me take a single example. When I left England, cricket was a favourite game with village boys, but was " I Y in rare instances played by men. There was one cricket -club where there are now a dozen. If you looked ?ut the word in the encyclopaedias of that date, it would have been with this result : C RICKET. See G r yll us ; i s a l so [ sma ll t ype ] an exer cise or game with bats and a ball." Yet one Australian firm alone gave recently £7,000 for the honour of a visit from the Eleven of England.

Their departure from England was so timed as not to interfere with their professional avoca tions 4, (!), and th e y now re t urn f or th e recommencemen t o f th e cricketing season at home. Thus, With the exception of the time lost in the two voyages, they will have played cricket all the year round, and been well rewarded for it. I n lay time there was scarcely a professional cricketer in great Britai n .

Cricket i n th e family became from that date an etshf,se.ibtl. ished i nst i tution ; only, as the girls were unable to bowl i n the usual way (that is, underhand), because of rothPetticoats (which they could not well gather up under eir left arms as a man does his coat-tails), they bowled ro una ; and that, aft er a littl e , so accura t e ly, th a t '"?ir brother was quite enamoured of the fashion, and took jbtubl:etkfisith him to school.

This class of per se°ll.llas excited, I perceive, the particular wonder of the _ int . asaries of the French press now sojourning in London, ss it also excites mine. I do not think that they have a rater austerity, a mere colossal calm about them even tinfr their high-bred -masters. Their superiority and their a f abil itY are alike tremendous.

In the Discount Market there is a slight increase in the demand for accommodation, consequent upon a large amount of commercial bills on Australian account arriving at maturity to-morrow (Saturday), the rates current being 3i j for first-class paper. About £35,000 in bar gold was taken to the Bank of England yesterday, and there were no with drawals. The directors of the Nerbudda Coal and Iron Company have called a meeting of shareholders for the 26th inst., to lay before them the bases of a contract with the Great Indian Peninsula Railway. the death of Mr. T. A. Gibb, of the firm of T. A. Gibb and Co., of the China trade, has been announced. This gentleman was one of the direc tors of Overend, Gurney, and Co., and was the holder of a large number of shares, upon which he has paid the call ; he was also a depositor to the extent of £30,000. It is stated that the £500,000 Five per Cent. Guaranteed Debentures of the Bombay, Baroda, and Central ;India Railway has all been subscribed for. In connection with the affairs of the North British Railway meetings were held on Tuesday evening and Wednesday morning, at the Crown Hotel, Princes-street, Edinburgh, of the English share holders, comprising gentlemen from Newcastle, Hull, Carlisle, Cheltenham, Liverpool, and other places. It was resolved that a deputation should be appointed to wait upon Mr. White, chairman of the Inves tigation Committee, with the view of suggesting the appointment of additional English gentlemen on the board of directors. The deputation accordingly waited on the committee at the company's offices yesterday morning, and Mr. White, having heard the suggestions of the members, intimated that four vacancies would be left in the new board. These gentlemen, he assured the deputation, should be selected from England. Tie Bank of England return, compiled to the 14th inst., again shows some very satisfactory changes. The Bullion has been augmented by £253,001, and the Reserve of Notes by £431,960, while there is at diminution in the Other Securities of £269,158. A large increase is also perceptible in the Public Deposits, but there is a reduction in the private balances.

Sugar has been in good de mand, and at full rates. For coffee there has been a rather moderate inquiry, and low and inferior descriptions of Ceylon have ruled a shade cheaper. Rice has been inactive, owing to the high rates de manded by holders. At the public sales of dried fruit there was a fair demand for currants and raisins, which sold at fair prices. Tallow, however, has been in very limited request, and prices have generally shown a downward tendency. Two o'CLoc K. Rather less business has been transacted to-day in the market for English Funds, though nothing politically or otherwise has transpired to check business. The favourable Bank return, and the abundance of money, keep prices in a very firm position, and the increased steadiness of the Rentes is not without some effect. Consols are still 90 1 for transfer, and 88/ /, less the dividend, for the account. Dealings have taken place in the New Threes and the Reduced Annuities at 871 / and at 87/ / respectively. Exchequer Bills are is. to 3s. prem. Bank Stock is marked £1 lower, at 2481 249..

There has also been a considerable falling off in the number of dealings in the Foreign Stock Market, but it has not led to any depression. On the con trary, Turkish Fives have risen Ito 321 ; Greek also 1:to 13/ 144 ; while Mexican are well sus tained at 171 1; Spanish Passive at 211 1; and Italian at 55 I.

Already, even so far in advance of Christmas, our Library Table is crowded with a goodly collec tion of elegant and costly volumes. Conspicuous among these, as being equally beautiful within and without—mens sana in corpore sano—is the charming collection, most charmingly illustrated, of Ileber's Hymns (Sampson, Low, Son, and Marston) : These favourite Hymns, so familiar to us all, have been hitherto scattered in various publications, and, as the editor truly remarks, they are individually known and admired without reference to their author or to each other's excellence. In turning over these pages, so beautifully illustrated and so exquisitely adorned, how many familiar friends will be gladly recognised. Chief among them all, perhaps, that lovely Christmas greeting— "Brightest and best of the suns of the morning, Dawn on our darkness and lend us thine aid; Star of the East, tho horizon adorning, Guide whore our Infant Redeemer is laid. Cold on his cradle the dew-drops are shining, Low lies his head with the beasts of the stall, Angels adore him in slumber reclining, - Maker, and Monarch, and Saviour of all!" Conspicuous among the illustrations is that which adorns St. Stephen's Day. The martyr on his knees, looking up, sees the Heavens open and the Divine Saviour with his hands outstretched to wel come his victorious servant. Equally gorgeous in its external decorations of violet and gold is the collection of Idyllic Pictures (Cassell, Petter, and Galpin). Each of these fifty pictures is a story in itself. The graceful verses which accompany them are hardly required, so vividly do the various scenes recount their own history. One of the most striking is significantly entitled "No Hope ?" and represents the Physician at the Patient's door, about to descend the stairs, and by him is the eager Ques tioner, asking, as we must all do more than once in our lives, that momentous question, fraught with life and death, with happiness and affliction. The face of the doctor, as it silently reveals what his lips are slow to utter, is admirably done. Another interesting and more attractive . scene, entitled " Mary's Wedding-day," represents a girlish bride at the knees of her mother, who is tenderly caress ing the child she is about to lose. " Wee Rosie Mary," again, is a charming little sketch of a little roguish damsel, bedecked with ridiculous finery, and trailing a long train behind, much to the delight of her playfellow kitten. We must not particularise all the pictures in the collection, but the three we have chosen haphazard may serve as very fair spe cimens of the whole. flow shall we speak of the next bewildering claimant upon our atten tion ?—The history of Croquemitaine. (Cas sell, Petter, and Galpin.) An amazing com pound of the grotesque and the chivalric, the chronicles of Froissart and the pantomimes of Blanchard !—such is the medley presented to us by the combined skill of M. L'Epine, the French author of " the legend of Croquemitaine and the chivalric times of Charlemagne," of Tom Hood, the English " free" translator, and of Gustave Dore, the yet more " free" and marvellous illustrator of the same. A magnificent volume is this, of large dimensions, and containing no less than one hun dred and seventy-seven illustrations from the match less hand of the great French artist, whose pencil is equally familiar with the sublime and the ridiculous. A. pleasant combination of the two is to be found in this veracious history of Croquemitaine. The story • commences with a description of Charlemagne, and " really, my dear readers," says the author, "if you are not satisfied with Charlemagne for a hero you must be very difficult to please," and the chro nicle concludes with that fatal catastrophe " When Roland, the flower of chivalry, Expired at Roncesvalles." Very effective are Gustave Dore's illustrations of the fatal scene, strewn with the dead, where Roland, the last survivor on that hard-won field, having blown upon his horn that farewell blast which still thrillingly reveberates among the echoes of the past, fell lifeless, clasping his beloved sword Durandel. In the pathos inseparable from such a termination the absurdities of Croquemitaine are ignored ! But we have not finished yet with Gustave Dore !" Two hundred Sketches (Frederick Warne.) Two hundred sketches, humorous and grotesque, by the same indefatigable artist. In presenting these collected sketches to the public, the publisher reminds us that Gustave Dore's especial forte is the grotesque, and that fami liar as the English public are becoming with his name they are not sufficiently acquainted with him as a grotesque artist ; it is as such that he is most re nowned, and it is as such he is represented in this collection now before us. Grotesque, indeed, are the majority of the sketches; the faults and follies of the day, whether in Paris or London, are fair game to the good-humoured satirist. The crowded steamboats racing across the channel at the time of the London Exhibition are Tidiculous in the extreme, and the fishes are frightened from their propriety by the hats, caps, umbrellas, &c., that strew the ground beneath the ocean. The scenes at Baden are very amusing, among others the expression of alarm "which you may naturally feel on meeting the gentleman whose mortal chal lenge in Paris was one of the chief reasons of your visit to Baden !" Among the Beautiful Books that surround us not the least beautiful are those designed for youthful readers. The little ones are indeed in luck's way this Christmas, if we may judge from the store of artistic attractions already provided for them. We have here The Child's Garland of Little Poems (Cassell, Petter, and Galpin), which is a feast for the eyes to look on. In the centre of the blue and gold cover of this little volume is a gorgeous group of roses and other flowers, beautifully coloured and embossed, as if freshly strewn there by the hands of Flora! In turning over the pages we find one and all surrounded with a graceful illustrated border suggested by the letter-press. Here a little group crowd round the blazing fire, and there some wanderers are belated in a snow storm. Here a hen and chickens are pecking at the farm, and there a fairy carriage is careering at full speed ! The little poems by Matthew Barr are of the sim plest character, the borders are designed by Gia comelli, and the little book is charmingly inscribed "To earth's sweetest flowers, the children of our hearts !" Equally attractive is a companion volume Little Lays for Little Folk (George Routledge and Sons). Equally gorgeous in outward appearance (with the exception of the coloured bouquet) this little book contains a collection of those poems which the editor, Mr. J. G. Watts, rightly believes to be already recognised favourites with the young. These little poems, which number, among others, " The Mouse's Petition," by Mrs. Barbould ; " The English Girl," byJane Taylor ; "The Beggar Man," by Aiken ; " Father is Coining," by Mary Howitt ; " Lucy Gray," by Wordsworth ; " Baby May," by W. C. Bennet ; and others equally attractive, are most charmingly illustrated. "The Little Gleaners," " The Little Hare," " Catching Prawns," and a capital little poem by the editor, " Little Kit," are all the subjects of most delightful illustrations. Nor must we forget " Robin Redbreast," who sings to us from amidst a very profusion of artistic embellishments in which the leaves of the summer boughs, succeeded by the fruits of the au tumn, give way to the frost and snow of winter, among which poor Robin still continues to chirp and sing. " Little Lays for Little Folk" will be right welcome to many little hearts and hands. The Boy and the Constellations (Warne and Co.), by Julia Goddard, may be called a fairy tale of the stars. Some of those old famous legends which remain " lettered in light" over our heads, the mysteries of Araos and Callisto, of Ariadne, of Hercules and Cerberus, of the Pleiades and the Hyades, and many others, arc narrated to the won dering Fridolin by no less a personage thal_es th t ! . Moon herself, who condescends to visit him. These various amazing histories are very exquisitely W _ e illus tratedhave by the pencil of A. W. Coope r. left to the last what should have appeared firs this list of children's books, the ve r y attractivelittillei volume by Mrs. Bradford, The Bible . opened hei :r f il o l r Children (Cassell, Fetter, and Galgew Testament a). T cipal histories of the Old and are here very simply narrated, w ith a few ex planatory questions, and answers at the close of e ach chapter, supposed to be asked by a group of little children who are listening to the stories. Some of the incidents, a mon g others Daniel in the Lions' Den, are the subjects of some excellent illus trations. THE PRINCE OF WALES• There was a rumour very general to-day that the Prince of Wales bad met his death in Russia. It is a pure invention made for the purpose of getting up a sensation. LAW INTELLIGENCE —This Day. COURT OF DIVORCE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) HUDSON T. HUDSON. This was a petition presented by the wife praying for dissolution of marriage on the ground of adultery and do- sertion. From the evidence it appeared that the parties were married at Soho Chapel in 1858, and in about twelvemonths after the husband went to India to join his regiment in the Indian army, of which he was a lieutenant. Previous to his departure from England he never introduced his wife to his family, and in the correspondence which ensued after he had quitted England, he never made use of the words either of husband or wife. Ile always signed himself your sincere friend, although the tenour of some of the letters showed that he expected his wife to follow him to India. The last letter received from the re spondent was in the year 1860, and it was not until the year 1862, that his wife in England discovered by the newspapers that the respondent had gone through the ceremony of marriage with a lady at Bombay, when the present suit was at once instituted. A gentleman named Dawes proved the handwriting of the respondent in the registry-book of Soho Chapel, and also stated that he was present at the marriage of the respondent in August, 1862, which took place at Bombay, the lady's name being Margaret Elisabeth Brown. After the wedding his residence was principally at Kurrachee, and they frequently visited the witness during the time he was in the Presidency. The Judge Ordinary said bigamy and adultery had been proved, and then he pronounced a decree nisi. ROBINSON V. ROBINSON. This was a suit instituted by the husband for dissolu tion of marriage. The evidence offered in support of the allegations in the petition disclosed a career of vice and immorality, on the part of tho respondent, of such a nature that left no doubt as to her being guilty of the charges brought against her. The Judge Ordinary directed a decree nisi. CHURCHILL Y. CHURCHILL AND ABBOTT. This was a petition presented by the husband, praying for dissolution of marriage. The intimacy between the respondent and the co respondent, who, it was stated, was a proctor in Doctors'- commons, commenced during the time ho resided in the house of the petitioner, and shortly afterwards it was dis covered that Mrs. Churchill was in the habit of going to the Four Swans Inn, Waltham-cross, where the co respondent met her, and that they passed at that place as Mr. and Mrs. Abbott. They remained there for about three weeks, and afterwards lived together as man and wife in lodgings at Westbourn-terraco and the Itlarylebone road. The evidence being sufficient, the Judge Ordinary pro nounced in favour of a decree nisi. ERRATUM.—In our list of those who were present yesterday at the - uncovering of the statue of Sir John Franklin, the name of Dr. Percy was by accident mis printed as Dr. Pusey. TIIE LARGEST SYNOPSIS OF THE NEWSPAPERS of the United Kingdom—•the most comprehensive synopsis of them that we remember to have ever seen—has just now been issued in a very handsome form, framed and varnished, by the Messrs. Vickers and Harrington, the well-known Advertisement Contractors, of Cowper's-court, Cornhill. London and Provincial, Scotch and Irish, all are included in this ample catalogue in due succession. The Metropolitan Journals leading off, as a matter of course, with the dailies, duly subdivided into morning and evening, gives an alphabetical enumera tion of the weeklies afterwards; and, finally, of the tri monthly, the bi-monthly, and monthly news-publications. The provincial newspapers aro ranged under the heads of I their respective counties—and throughout the whole, both London and provincial, Scotch and Irish, there are indica tions, brief but very distinct, and perfectly distinct—even asterisks, daggers, initials, and dates indicating in regard to each newspaper such facts of interest as the time of its establishment, the drift of its political tendencies, and in some instances the nature of its religious opinions. The quotation of gold at Paris is about at par, and the short exchange on London is 25.171 per £1 sterling. On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 is. 100. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about the same price in London and Paris.

NOTES FROM TRAINING DISTRICTS, now quarters here, and is very much liked. This morning he gave Brown Bread a very nice gallop of a mile and a half; and Sycee, Mockery, Doinestic Beauty, and My Love went a mile and a quarter. He also had the follow ing yearlings in preparation : —Aritnanes (b c by Van Galen --Charlotte Russo), Courtier (b c by King of Trumps —Last Love), Grand Duchess (br f by Van Galen—Olga), Landscape (br c by Cavendish —Scarlet Runner), Trip-; thong (b o by Cavendish —Diphthong), and two or three others whose names and pedigrees we do not know at pre sent. Dover scut Lord Lyon a portion of the Horse Shoe Gallup thin morning, but as he will not be wanted for months yet, his exercise is regulated so as id just to keep him iu good health. Gardevisure led The General and Rust about a mile and a half gently ; and thisette was schooling the yearlings. Dunsany took a. mile and three-quarter's gallop. Commissioner did a mile only, and is growing into a nice horse. The animals sent to Tattersall's by Mr. R. Ten Broeck have returned here mileunso l a d b n , dt u h t r d ee o -q n u o t ar h t i n e r g. s. H P o a p r v is in h e o h w a e s v a e r r, led arrived ved a t t h L ow others e a ,s: where Threadbare is in capital long work for steeplechas ing. Several of Stevens's are at Shrewsbury. Warreuer's continue at slow exercise. NEWMARKET. A few of our horses have returned from taking part in Mr. Frail's turf carnival at Shrewsbury, but the bulk of those we sent to the Salopian capitol will not arrive until late to-morrow night. What between the absence of several of our trainers, and the very unsettled state of the weather, operations on the heath have not been so active aS they aro wont to be ; but next weok we shall bo very busy, though wo aro sure to have a good few representa tives at Sam Merry's popular autumnal trysting under the castellated towers of Warwick. The Earl of Glasgow has sent another batch of yearlings, since our last report, to William Harlock's, making seventeen within the last ton days or so, nine of which aro colts. The whole of them are big-boned, blood like, and promising youngsters. Our several Derby horses are getting on uncommonly well ; those that were recently in physic have resumed work, and the lot appear to be quite healthy. This morning Sealskin was taking D'Estournel along, and Leybourne showing the way for Ravioli, the four going about a mile each. Dragon, Cerf Volante, Imperator, and Enchanteur cantered twice, and then galloped over three-quarters of a mile pretty smartly. Jasper and Hippia wero following Dalesman a mile steadily ; and Bombastes took Julius, Pericles, and Nike a similar gallop. The Hermit and Knight of the Garter were merely cantering and trotting about. The Rake, however, had a nice mile gallop, and went very freely. Cecrops went a rattling mile and' a half over Bury Hill—and John Dawson sent King Charm ing a couple of miles. Claxton led Custard Castle, and two others from Nash's establishment, about a mile and three-quarters. Hftyhoo expects a couple of colt yearlings from Mentmore next week, ono by Lord of the Isles, out of Hermoine, and the other by King Tom, out of E m erald. , Robin (late Robin Hood) has gone to Baron Rothschild s stud farm, and will not race again. MALTON. Grand Cross is all right again now, a nd was a t good exercise this morning along with Knight of the Cr escent. John Scott set Knight of St. Michael to take Taraban and Knight of the Grove a mile and a quarter fast gallop ; the Rejected rendering alike office to West Wind, and Amazon leading Rondinella. West Wind is a magnificent animal, and worth a long shot for the Der b y , as he is of.c momand ing size, and has a decided qu alit y look about him. Grand Cross, however, is improving daily. We do not note Sout- much alteration for the better i n Taraban at pg of whom, as resent. minster is loading the Whitewa ll y earlin we have already hint ed, The 'Viscount (a son of the ar s, Mar quis and Columbine) is the most p r omising. Willi I'Anson has a very taking yearling colt in Betrayal, who is own brother to Vedette, and this morning he moved beautifully. None of Tom PA.nson's itid work to-day— and Charles Peck had all his walking, as usual, on the roads. Most of Shepherd's nags were restricted to very gentle exercise, but Skysail and Ploughboy galloped a mile and a half, at a fair pace. Little Treasure is stopped. Westwick, Q uee n of Nuts, and Verdi are expected ime ear l y t o -morroNv. Mr. Jo hn Scott is a g ain ailing. TIIIRSK. Very little is doing at liambleton just now, for the moor I is heavy, and the weather unsettled. The Priest is b e i ng backed cked for next year's Derby, but the stable cannot know much about his qualifications at present., for he is as big as a Smithfield prize-ox. Our readers must not touch him; ho is another Stabber. Rococo, on the contrary, though, is worth remembering for the Chester Cup, and 1,000 to 10 oach about him and Harry Brailsford can readily be had, and should be booked by those who are fond of a long shot. Rose° follows Holstein a couple of miles steadily each day ; and Elfeta accompanies Miss Williams a mile and a half. This morning 'Yeatherguide, Best Returns, and The Priest, after cantering twice, galloped a mile. Tho Czar and Tynedale were walking.. . ILSLEY. Young Tom Dawson has now fairly duffle(' do wu in his HER MAJESTY, &c. WINDSOR CASTLE, Thursday. The Queen, accompanied by her Royal High ness the Princess of Wales, walked and drove yes terday afternoon. Their Royal Highnesses Prince and Princess Christian went out walking. His Royal Highness Prince Leopold, attended by Mr. Sahl and Mr. Legg, went to London yesterday and honoured the morning performance at Her Majesty's Theatre with his presence: Her Royal highness Princess Beatrice, attended by Lady Caroline Barrington and Major-General F.
