AMERICA. LIVERPOOL, MONDAY. The royal mail steam-ship America, Captain Wiclang, arrived in the Mersey at seven a.m., with advices from New York to the 9th ; Boston, 10th ; and Halifax, 12th instant, inclusive. She brought 190 passengers, and 400,000 dollars in specie. There is little news in the advices brought to hand ; the yellow fever is on the decline both at Portsmouth and New Orleans. The bank statement for the week showed a stronger position collectively. The accession of specie from California had not been met with any demand for foreign export. Greater activity in money was shown in the aggregate clearings for the week, which included the heavy payments of the 4th, and showed a larger sum than the clearings of any week since July, 1854. The reduction of loans by the banks hail created an active demand for capital. Paper of the best grade finds its way to the brokers at Bto 10 per cent. Loans on call stock collaterals, 7to 9 per cent. The Exchange market was inactive. London, 108 to 109 i. On receipt of tie Pacific's advices holders or cot ton became anxious to realise, and some sales were effected at a decline of c. to lc.; an active demand followed, relieving the market of the most pressing parcels, and prices recovered c. to ic. For flour and wheat on the Bth there was an active demand for export to England and France, and prices had advanced. Sales of Alexandria (Pioneer) were made at 9 dols. 50c.; Petersburg, 9 dols. 50c.; Richmond city (Cranshaw), 10 dols. 75c. ; Ohio, common to good brand, 8 dols. 37!,c. to 8 dols. 50c.; common to good brands of New York State flour, 8 dols. 25c. to 8 dole. 50c.; 4,500 barls. sold for delivery in November, 7 dole. 87ic.: Ca nada flour sold at 8 dole. 25c. to 9 dole. 25c. ; Ge nesse flour, without material alteration-sales were made at 9 dols. 50c. to 11 dole.; rye flour and corn meal were without change in prices ; Genesse wheat (white), sold at 2 dole. 25c. ; Canadian white, 2 dols. 16c. to 2 dole. 20c.; southern ditto, 2 dole. 15 c. to 2 dols. 20c. ; Illinois ditto, 2 dole. 20c. ; red and mixed western, 1 dol. 80c. to 2 dols. ; red southern, 1 dol. 92c. to 2 dole. 3c. The receipts of corn were light. Western mixed brought 90c. to 91c. 8,000 bushels of rye sold at 116 c. to 120 c. Oats were in good demand at 42c. to 46c. Freights to London, for wheat, were from 14d. to 15d.; flour 4s. Gd. to 55.; dead weight, 425. Gd. to 50s. To Liverpool -Wheat, 11d. to 12d.; corn, ditto ; flour, 45.; cotton, id. On the 9th the lour market again advanced about 25c. Wheat also advanced. Corn was firm. Iron was heavy. The money market continued active, and rates buoyant. Rates for call loans, 7 per cent., and for short first-class paper, 7to 8 per cent. Exchange, sterling, heavy rates ; best banker's bills, 108 i, and nominal. (LATER BY TELEGRAPH, VTA HALIFAX.) NEW YORK, Oct. 11.—Dr. Kane and party (Arctic Expedition) have arrived all well. Flour and corn have advanced ; wheat has de clined ; an advance of one-eighth has taken place on cotton. The United States mail steamer Washington ar -rived off Cowes, on her way to Bremen, yesterday. Her English mails and passengers were landed at Southampton. She left New York on the 6th inst. The new York papers are filled with accounts of political and temperance meetings. There had been an immense Know-Nothing meet ing at Philadelphia. The project of a canal across the Isthmus of Darien has been again brought before the United States Cabinet. The President of Liberia had written to New York to check emigration there. Large numbers of persons are now leaving New York for California. The people of Connecticut have decided to amend the state constitution, to require all electors to be able to read. The Fourierite establishment in New Jersey has been broken up. News from Havannah states that great prepara tions were making for celebrating the birthday of the Queen of Spain. The steamer Pacific had arrived at New York from Liverpool in 9 days and 21i hours. Her news caused cotton-to decline ± cent. per lb. She brought out large orders for flour on French and German account, which improved the flour market. From Northern Mexico we learn that General Castro was still in command of Matamoras. The city was still embroiled in trouble ; General Vidauri was marching there. San Luis de Potosi had been captured by the insurgents, and General Giulan killed. Tampico had pronounced for Vidauri, and driven out Cassanova. News from the Cape of Good Hope had arrived at New York. The country was quiet. The sugar cultivation in Natal bad succeeded. Commercial affairs were better. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEff YORK, Oct. 5. Breadstuffs—Flour—The market was about 124 c. per hl. higher for all good common and medium grades. The sales included about 12,000 to 15,000 bls., includ ing lots for export and 1,000 bbls. to arrive in November, at p. t. Wheat—The market was very active, and free sales were made, which footed up, including lots to ar rive and on the spot, about 30,000 to 40,000 bushels, including Western, at dol. 1.80 to dol. 1.82 ; Southern red, at dol. 1.85 to dol. 1.92 ; white ditto, dol. 2.10 for prime, and Canadian ditto, at dols. 2.06 to dols. 2.10 ; 10,000 bushels red Tennessee, to arrive, at dol. 1.90. Corn—The sales embraced about 30,000 to 40,000 bushels, at 86c. to 88c., the latter figure for prima qua lity. Rye—About 5,000 to 6,000 bushels were sold at del. 1.18 to del. 1.20 for Northern ; Southern was at del. 1.14 ; and 2,000 bushels Northern were bought, to arrive, at p. t. Oats were plenty, with moderate sales, at 41c. to 45c. for State and Western. Cotton—The sales reached about 1,200 to 1,500 bales. The market closed quite steady. Among the sales were some lots taken by spinners, but the bulk was purchased for export. Freights, in a general way, continued quite firm. To Liverpool, about 1,500 bales of cotton were engaged at 5-16 d. to ed. for compressed and uncompressed, and one lot was taken, compressed, at 11-32 d. ; about 10,000 bales were engaged at 4s. At the close 4s. 3d. was de manded. Grain was taken at 121 d., and about 100 tierces beef at 65. To London rates were firm : 55. was demanded for flour, and 15s. for grain. To Havre flour was engaged at 1 dol., grain at 25c. per bushel, and cotton at lc. A vessel was chartered to load for Havre with grain at 25c., and flour at 1 dol. There was a good demand for freights to German ports, and some considerable engagements were reported at full prices. A vessel was chartered for Constantinople at 1 dol. 75c. per brl. for flour. Afterwards shipowners de manded 2 dols. per brl. for flour, and 2 dols. 25c. for pro ♦isions. To Hamburg some measurement goods were taken at 355. To California rates were steady at 35c. to 40c. per foot measurement. Iron was unchanged. Lead was firm, and generally held, for all kinds, attic. Molasses were unchanged, but quiet. Naval stores were inactive, and prices somewhat un settled. Provisions—Pork—The sales embraced about 400 to 800 bls., part to arrive, and the remainder in small lots at 22 dole. 37c. for new mess, and 21 dole, to 21 dole. 25c. for prime. Beef—Sales of about 150 bls. without change in prices. Cut meats were scarce, and nominal. Lard —The sales embraced about 400 to 500 bls., at 114 c. to 12c. Butter and cheese were unchanged. Tobacco —This a rti c l e i s less active, owing to the large business of the pr evious w ee k ; pr i ces are w i t h out varia tion. The sales included 52 hhds. Kentucky at 7Ac. to 10ic. ; 336 bales Havannah, at 23c. to 38c. ; 100 bales Cuba, at p. t. ; 74 eases seedleaf, at 7hc. to 12c. Wool—Sales have been rather light, holders being quite firm, and manufacturers not being disposed to pay therates demanded. About 10,000 lbs., fleece and pulled, in lots, were disposed of at 30c. to 45c. per lb. a ccor di ng i to quality. The supply o f oomestic s large, but the stock of foreign is greatly reduced, and high prices abroad will not admit of importations at present. ARRIVAL of SPECIE.--The specie arrivals last week, have exclusive of those just announced from Australia, amounted to 160,0001. The exports are estimated at about 400,0001. Intelli ence DEATH OF Mit. R. C. TUDWAY, My.— g of the death of this lamented gentleman, who has for some years represented the borough of Welle, in con janction with the Right Hon. W. G. Hayter (whipper in of the Government), reached Bristol on Saturday, at noon, by special messenger, who immediately car ried on the mournful intelligence to the seat frf of the deceased's father-in•law, W. Miles, Esq., M.P. for East Somerset, at Leigh Court. Mr. Tudway had been for some weeks in a hopeless state, his disease being an affection of the windpipe and bronchial tubes. He was a Conservative in politics, but owed his election chiefly to the personal respect in which he was held, and to local influ ence . Th e agen t o f th e T ory p ar ty a t Wells arrived here yesterday afternoon, and at once waited on P. Skynner Miles, Esq., brother-in-law of the deceased gentleman, who for many years sat in the house as Conservative meml9er for Bristol. Mr. Miles was invited to offer himself as a candidate for the vacant membership, and was offered the support of the Tory party, but he is understood to have positively declined the proffered honour. It is ru moure d th a t M r . Ser geant Kinglake, who, it will be rem em b ere d, o pp ose d Mr. Tudway at the last election, will again come for ward on the Liberal interest, and it is said that his elec tion may be considered tolerably certain, as he produced on the last occasion a favourable i mpression, THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, OICTOIVER 22,_!1855.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.) The October session of the above court was opened to•day by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, Mr. Russell Gurney, Q.C., Mr. Alderman Salomons (Lord Mayor elect), Mr. Alderman Farncomb, Mr. Sheriff Kennedy, Mr. Under Sheriff Stone, &c., &c. The first edition► of the calsndar contains the names o 93 prisoners. The Learned Commissioner, in charging the grand jury, said that the duty devolved upon him on account of his learned friend (the Recorder) being prevented by a painful circumstance. He was happy, he said, to be able to inform them that tke number of prisoners was not greater than usual, and this was probably to be at tributed to a recent alteration in the law, giving to the police magistrates an extended jurisdiction. The effect of this alteration would, undoubtedly, be to save a great deal of expense to the country in criminal prosecutions ; but, it appeared to him, that the system ought to be closely watched in its working, for unless great care was taken the effect of the new law would be to enable old offenders to escape from the punishment they would re ceive as such if they were tried before a court and jury, when the fact of their having been previously convicted, and being known thieves, would be proved against them. Although the calendar was not heavy in point of numbers, he regretted to find that it contained a great many serious charges, and there were no less than five cases involving the destruc tion of human life. Some of these were cases of man slaughter, and one of murder ; but the facts in all the cases, with one exception, were of a very simple cha racter, and the grand jury would not find any difficulty in coming to the conclusion that all the cases were of a nature to require further inquiry. The only case that appeared to require any observation wds one in which a woman named Robson was charged with the manslaughter of her child, by neglecting to supply it with proper food and nourishment. It appeared that the prisoner was a married woman, and therefore the duty of maintaining her children would in the first instance be thrown upon the husband, and the only question the grand jury would have to consider was whether the prisoner had means supplied to her by her husband, and whether she neglected properly to supply those means, and it these facts were made out to their satisfaction, it would be their duty to find the bill against her. The grand jury then retired. Gt Northn Laneash Yorksh. T.

ASS/ULT.—Charles Roberts was charged before the Lord Mayor with being drunk and fighting and assault ing the police. Police-constable 496 deposed that last night about 9 o'clock he saw the prisoner in St. Swithin•lane fighting with another man. Both were stripped. On going up to them the prisoner said, " What do I care for the po liceman," and squared up to him. Witness laid hold of him, on which the prisoner struck him a violent blow on the chest. A struggle took place between witness, the prisoner, the man he was fighting, and the prisoner's father to rescue the prisoner, and it was with difficulty he apprehended him. The others then ran off. Prisoner said he was in liquor at the time, and was not aware he struck the policeman. He was fighting with his brother, The Lord Mayor said he could not permit drunken persons to knock about the policemen with impunity, and fined the prisoner 205., or in default 10 days' im prisonment. 310NEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLoCK. In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday the sales of Cotton were estimated at 6,000 bales, (of which 1,500 for export) and include 400 Per nam and Maranham at Rd. to 62d. ; 40 Bahia 5/d. ; 400 Egyptian Sid. to Bd. ; and 1,000 Surat 35d. to 4kd. per lb. The market olosed heavily, with some irregularity in quotations. Compared with Friday's rates prices of all kinds were lean ing still in the buyer's favour. The Railway Share Market for nearly all descriptions was of a languid character, and prices were somewhat lower. The intelligence received to-day by the Mail from New York mentions that, during the month of September, there was an excess of imports over exports, to the value of 6,585,139 dols.,the balance of trade, therefore, being considerably against the United States. The position of the Money Mar ket was rather easier, but the demand was still ac tive. The Stock Market ruled steady, although there had been almost a panic a day or two pre. viously to that on which the mail left. The Banks were contracting their engagements as much as possible. For flour there was a good demand, and the Pacific had just arrived with large orders on French and German account. Later advices from California do not contain any news of importance. From the Sandwich Islands we learn that the Legislature had reduced the duty on French bran dies, thus clearing the way for a re-arrangement of the treaty with France. It is stated that a treaty establishing reciprocal free trade in all products of the Sandwich Islands and the United States has just been concluded. The Marco Polo, arrived at Liverpool, brings the following dates :—Melbourne, July 21; Sydney and Launceston, July 18 ; Hobart Town, 16 ; Adelaide, July 17 ; and Auckland, June 16. Ac cording to this, therefore, the mails are 94 days old. The Kent arrived at Melbourne on July 21, and her dates from London were to May 12. Another seasonable supply of gold has come from Victoria by the above vessel in round numbers at half a million sterling, which, added to that brought by the Mermaid, will amount to 900,0001. sterling. In the present critical state of the Money Market it is a question of vital importance to know the ultimate destination of this large amount of bullion. It is hoped it will not leave this coun try for Central Europe, as too much of our Aus tralian gold has recently done, flowing through indirect channels into the impoverished coffers of our enemy. This vessel brings news to the 21st of June, being only one day later than previous advices. Business generally was recovering from its depression at the commencement of the year, and transactions were being conducted on a more sub stantial basis. Gold was still found in abundance, and when old diggings had become worked out new deposits of the precious metal were discovered, which kept up the general returns with the pre vious year. The quantity shipped from Victoria up to the end of June, independent of what was taken by private hands, amounted to about a million and a half ounces. The revenue returns for the year, although maintaining their standard of three millions sterling, showed a decrease from those of 1854 of 70,7291. On the Bourse, at Paris, the week closed ' with a tendency to improve, and there seemed a general feeling of satisfaction that the Bank measures had been decided upon. The tables issued of the rates of discount fixed by the Bank Directors since the beginning of the present century have been published, wherein it appears that the 6 per cent. rate agreed to on the 19th inst. has not been demanded since the 20th February, 1800, which continued in operation until the 13th November, 1806. The English Funds are firm to-day, Consols being 871 for money, and 87i for November. They have since been rather weaker, however. There is an absence of speculation, and some support is given to prices by the gold arrivals from Mel bourne. The New 3 per Cents. are 87i 1, and the Reduced 86i 4. Bank Stock is steady at 209. Exchequer Bills are up to 4s. to is. discount, and India Bonds are ls. premium. There is very little speculation going on in the Foreign Stock Market. Brazilian Small Bonds are at. 99, and up to the present moment is the only Sonth American securities dealt in. Sardinian Bonds have declined to 851. Dutch 21 per Cents. are quoted at 641 to 643, being firmer. Turkish Bonds have advanced from 79A- to 79'1 3 , and New Scrip is 31 to 33 discount. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks: Grenada Deferred Bonds, 18 to 20 ; Mexican, 191 to 20 ; Peruvian, 72 to 74 ; ditto Three per Cents., 52 to 64; Portuguese Four per Cents., 43 to 45 ; Russian Five per Cents., 95 to 98 ; ditto Four-and-a-Half per Cents., 85 to 88 ; Spanish Three per Cents., 37i to 38 ; ditto New Deferred, 19 to i ; ditto Certificates, 4 to 41- ; ditto Passive, 4 to 5. Railway shares are dull, and show some symp toms of flatness. Great Western, Brighton, and Midland are all lower. The French lines are gene rally nominal, but Paris and Lyons are about ss. below Saturday's rates. Mining, Banking, and Miscellaneous shares at tract very little attention, and are without any particular alteration. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY AT ONR O'CLOOS.

Henry Wkeefer, clerk, and John Robert • Watt were charged, before Sir John Magney, with stealing from the premises of William R. Currey, bottled beer mer chant, Silver-street, Wood-street, a bottle of ale, value 6d., and a bottle of stout, value 4d. The prisoners were both respectably-dressed men, and Watt was formerly in partnership with the prosecutor. Mr. Lewis, jun., appeared for the prosecution ; Mr. Beard, from the office of Mr. Buchannan, for the pri soners. The prosecutor deposed that in July last Watt en tered into partnership with him in the business then carrying on at 148, Aldersgate•street, but which was dissolved about 4 months afterwards. Witness after wards permitted him to use the counting-house for his own purposes, and had continued to collect the partner ship debts up to the present time. The two prisoners were at his counting house, and, from information he had received, be gave them into custody for stealing bottled beer. He followed them to the station-house. On the way Wheeler said Watt gave him the beer to carry to his home. When searched a cork belonging to a pint bottle was found on Wheeler. A quart bottle of stout had been taken from him at the counting-house. He identified the cork as his from marks on it. John Gregory, a jobbing porter, deposed that he was placed in the prosecutor's cellar, on Saturday afternoon, to watch. Between 4 and 5 o'clock Wheeler entered the cellar and turned on the gas, went to one of the bins and took up a bottle, examined it and replaced it ; he then took a pint bottle of ale from the next bin and put it into his left-hand pocket ; he turned the gas off and left ; he shortly after returned and went to the next vault but he was unable to see what he did ; he left the cellar. A few minutes after Watt came into the cellar, took a quart bottle, and put it into his pocket and went out. Mr. Lewis asked for a remand to complete the case. Mr. Beard said he should not object, and should re serve his defence till the next hearing. The prisoners were accordingly remanded on bail till Wednesday next. SOUTHWARK. IMPUDENT HIGHWAY ROBBERY. —john King, a thick set, powerful-looking young man, well known to the police as a notorious thief, was brought before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with stealing a silver watch from James Merryman, under the following daring circum- stances : The prosecutor, a seafaring man, stated that on Sa turday evening, about seven o'clock, he was standing near the Pear Tree public-house, in the New Cut, when the prisoner suddenly ran up against him and put his hand in his waistcoat pocket, where his watch was. He immediately put his hand down and found that the watch had been brokea from the guard-chain, and at the same time the prisoner ran away. Being satisfied that he had stolen his watch, he pursued him and caught hold of him in White Horse-street, Cornwall-road, where they had a desperate struggle. A constable, however, came up at the time and secured him. In cross-examination by the prisoner, the prosecutor said that there were several persons about him at the time the watch was snapped from him ; but he distinctly saw the prisoner put his hand in his waistcoat pocket and break it from the chain. On running away he had every opportunity of passing it to other parties. Henry Moxton, 35 L, a very active and intelligent officer, stated that he was on duty in the New-cut on Saturday night, when he heard cries of " Police " pro ceed from Waite Horse-street, and on going there he saw the prisoner and prosecutor struggling together. Knowing the prisoner well as a notorious thief he seized hold of him, when the prosecutor gave him into custody for stealing his watch. He with some difficulty secured him, and conveyed him to the station-house. Mr. A'Beckett said it was a very daring robbery, and he should commit him for trial at the next Surrey Sessions. MARYLEBONE. DARING- ROBBERY IN THE STREET.—John Stnitla, a young man supposed to be connected with the swell mob, was charged before Mr. Long with stealing a watch, the property of Mr. Hewlett, Alfred-street, King's-cross. It appeared, from the evidence of several witnesses, that on Saturday evening, about 8 o'clock, as the pro secutor was going out of Charles-street into the Hamp stead-road,the prisoner, with some others not in custody, made a snatch at his watch chain, which was broken, when his watch was taken out of his pocket. The pri soner ran away, but was pursued into Drummond-street, where he was stopped. Upon being captured he flung the watch away, and which parted from the case. The case was found, but the watch has not been recovered. The prisoner was sent for trial. THAMES. VIOLENT ASSAULT ON A TRADESMAN. —DanieI Harley and Patrick Sweeney, Irish labourers, were brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with committing a violent as sault on Mr. Charles Lambert, a shipping butcher, re siding in the West India-road, near Limehouse church. Mr. Lambert, whose dress and hat were covered with mud, stated that last night, a few minutes after he came from church, he was passing along the Commercial road, in company with a friend, when they saw the pri soners advancing towards them. He and his friend parted to allow them to pass, when the prisoner rushed at him with all his force and pushed him with great violence into the gutter. He was much hurt by the fall, and his hat and clothes covered with the sludge and muck of the road. Sweeney here said he was 'tipsy and knew nothing of the matter, Mr. Yardley—Then let me tell you at once that, not an e w x e e r n e se. tipsy, it is an aggrav ation of your offence, Roche, for committingt h e gaoler, as violenta Sw ea imprisonment,es n s a e n y l t ha e d n b Sundaye e been c arg charged before s.week.

The country markets held on Saturday were but mode rately supplied with wheat, and the trade ruled steady, a t in advance o f f rom 2s to 3s per quarter. Barley was very dull. All other articles were in fair request, at full quotations. Most of the continental markets have been far from ac tive. Prices, however, continue to rule very high. The latest accounts from New York state that the shipments of flour and grain to England were rather on the increase. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very moderate. From abroad we received 8,325 qrs. of wheat, 6,814 oats, 1,913 beans, 226 p eas, 53 tares, 101 rapeseed, 37 mustard seed, 2,200 sundry seeds, and 274 sacks of flour. _ -- - The arrivals of Etsglish wheat, fresh up to our market to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, were very mode rate, but in fair average condition. As the show of samples was by no means extensive, as the country mar kets were higher, and as the attendance of millers was on the increase, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled brisk, at an advance in the quotations paid on Monday last of from 2s. to 3s. per quarter. We were but moderately supplied with foreign wheat. The business doing in that article was by no means exten sive, yet prices were 2 s . p er quarter higher than on this day se , nnight. Floating cargoes of grain were is. to 2s. higher, with a good inquiry. We had an improved demand for most kinds of barley, yet no advance was noticed in prices. The show of Eng- lish was good. All kinds of malt sold readily, at extreme rates. There was a fair demand for oats, especially for new samples at full quotations. Beans changed hands freely, at is per quarter above last week's prices. We had an improved demand for peas, at is per quarter more money. The flour trade was rather active, at 2s to 3s per sack, and is to 2s per barrel more money. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The supply of Irish stock in to-day's market was exten sive —viz., 540 beasts and 710 sheep, all in excellent con dition. The arrivals last week, direct by sea, were 150 beasts. With foreign stock we were well supplied, but its quality was very inferior. From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts fresh up this morning were very moderate, but in some what improved condition. As the total supply was sea sonably larger, the beef trade ruled heavy, at a decline in tho prices obtained on Monday last of about 2d. per 81bs. About 50 good beasts were disposed of for shipment to Scotland. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nor thamptonshire amounted to 1,900 shorthorns; from other parts of England, 400 of various breods ; and from Ire land, yid Liverpool, 540 beasts. There was a moderate supply of sheep on sale as to numbers, but the quality of most breeds was very inferior. Prime Downs and halt-breds sold slowly, at full prices ; but inferior breeds were very dull, and 2d. per Sibs. lower than on this day se'unight. The top figure for Downs was ss. per Sibs. Calves, the supply of which was moderate, sold slowly, at Friday's decline in the quotations. We had a steady demand for pigs, at fully last week's currency. Per Sibs to sink the ofl'als. s. d. a. d.

SPORTING NOTES. THE CAMBRIDGESHIRE. The old adage of "Many men, many minds," i s strikingly exemplified with reference to the Cambridge shire. Each of the leading favourites has a sanguine and numerous party of supporters, whose confidence in their respective animals is particularly indicated by the betting. The Newmarket folk steadily adhere to Crown Pigeon, and in this instance I believe their opinion is entitled to respect. It is stated that Crown Pigeon is now Gibs. better than he was when he ran for the Cesare witch, and his trainer and owner are equally sanguine of pulling through. Pole Star, however, has made a most favourable impression on the cognoscenti at head-quar ters ; and an opinion obtains, founded upen her running at Warwick, that she will be close up with Crown Pigeon, wherever the favourite may finish. Flatterer's advance in the betting is not a little signifi cant, and although he is handicapped to give Crown Pigeon and Pole Star " lumps of weight," I shall ex pect to see him occupy a very forward position. Through Hercules his party possess a good line by which to mea sure the capabilities of " the Pigeon," and they have doubtless cogent reasons to justify their confidence. Of Robgill I have little hope ; Veteran is turned loose, and if there be any faith in the power of money, he will run respectably. Still hopes are entertained of Calamus. Of Flacrow I am unable to form a satisfactory opinion, owing to the prejudice which exists against the horse. Vandyke goes well and looks well ; he has recently entered Dockeray's stable, and the " Irish Division stand him to a man." The late hour at which I left the betting-rooms compels me to render my notes unusually brief, but the reader will doubtless be satisfied if I suc ceed in indicating the winner. I have, then, no hesita tion in expressing my opinion that the race will termi nate in favour of CROWN PIGEON. In his default I shall expect either FLATTERER or POLR STAR to achieve success.

By the author of "The Curate of Overton." 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. The various adventures and troubles that befell the unfortunate heroine in her lonely pilgrimage form an interesting and attractive tale. Millicent was brought up as an heiress, but subsequent mis fortunes blighted her fair prospects, and a distant kinsman became possessed of her estates through some injustice. She was consequently compelled to support herself. Her attempt was very unsuc cessful at first, for the family she entered was, with one exception, unpropitious for the introduction of a friendless stranger. Mrs. Robertson was worldly and overbearing ; Clara, her second daughter, selfish and envious. The eldest son was vulgar and thoughtless, though of a better disposition. Kate, the eldest daughter, was a very charming character. Her temper was hasty, and her nature wanted a little more self-control, but she was kind hearted and considerate to ethers. It was not pro bable that she would stand by and see the lonely orphan insulted, but often her very eagerness to protect Millicent was the cause of fresh troubles. She found this out herself, and at last became more guarded in her manner, but the very fact of her being the friend of the governess made her mother and sister more indignant against the stranger. Soma of the scenes are very naturally described, when. Mrs. Robertson, with her consequential airs, com manded Millicent to do this, or forbade her to do that, forgetting she was speaking to a lady, who, if she had held her proper rank in society, would have been immeasurably her superior. Mr. Robert son was a good-natured, simple man, who liked quiet, but his attempts to pacify his wife were of uo avail. Tom, the son, whose good nature was shocked at 'his mother's harshness, used to con trive ingeniously to direct her attention from Milli cent, by threatening to perform some dangerous feat. Clara always abetted Mrs. Robertson, while Kate fired up indignantly, arid generally carried the point in question by some coup de main, although the reaction to the triumph did not always amelio rate her friend's prospects. Millicent purposed leaving the family, but she was dissuaded by Mr. Seymour, the clergyman, who was very kind to her, and took great interest in her forlorn and friendless career. He represented that wherever she went she would meet with troubles, and that the kind sympathy she mot with from Kate Robertson was an advantage she might not meet with elsewhere. To this argument th fMil licent felt that another could be added in t of his own assistance and supporptedbretuji in that place. A more pleasing to this.

A fi l i i n sllieseubtlsequent troubles and perplexities, and difficulties and misfortunes are truth fully sketched, and no one can fail to be touched by their sorrows. After the mystery concerning his father's death had been cleared up, Lord For tescue was united to Millicent, who received res titution of her rights from the relation who had taken possession of her property. She, however, insisted on his continuing to reside there, as she deeply felt for his fate, he having lost all his children. Thus, though surrounded by enemies, Millicent turned them into friends. This r ecord of the trials of life will please those who can ap preciate a simple story that is written with sins cerity of feeling and purpose.
