MONEY MARKET AND commg RCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CnocK. The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday close d firmly, at Friday's rat e s. Th e sa l es were estn nated at 10,000 bales (3,000 of which were taken on speculation, and 1,000 for export). The Railway Share Market closed . heavily, and prices were considerably lower. In Mark Lane to-day there is no alteration. The ad vices by the Africa, from New York, re port rather m ore act i v i ty i n t h e d emand for money, Showed an increase in the discounts of 991,288 ! n ark The specie was augmented 26,597 dollars, ".ut l arge receipts were ex p ec t e d f rom C a lif orn i a. a.. la rge receipts was doing in foreign fabrics, and linports being moderate prices were supported. The letters from Australia by the ship Lightning are to the 10th April, the voyage having been per formed in 80 days from Port Philip. The accounts resp ec &:__ , iug the markets are decidedly better, but t he writers of the Melbourne price currents dis tinctly Warn shippers on this head not to be mis led, inasmuch as the demand was due entirely to the necessity of getting supplies up to the diggings :while the roads were practicable, and would fall off 114 nlediately afterwards, not to be resumed for two or three months. The vexed question about the gold diggers' licences seems likely to receive a Pacific solution, as the Commissioners recommended the abolition of the licence fee, and an imposition of . an exp ort t ax, a measure advocated months since. The ship Seringapatam, from Melbourne, does not bring later dates than March 18. She has on board 15,865 ounces of gold and 234 bales of wool, besides what the passengers bring. The Gipsy Bride, arrived at Liverpool from Mel bourne, has accounts of April 11, and 40,000 ounces of gold on freight. Adviees from the Crimea state that enormous supplies of provisions, ammunition, &c., were being forwarded from Perekop to Simpheropol, and that tile tearrmy in Sebastopol was provided f or th e win . hscaTreheelySatnoeyk Market is flat this morning, with business doing. Several circumstances andcombined to induce caution. The death of h: rci Raglan, and the small knowledge the public e i -ve o f the character of his successor, are naturally iitutnstanees to check dealing, and then we are the e je of the French loan, and notwithstand scil e l arge arrivals of bullion this morning, gold to Se c i„ ali s. , e nt /nay be temporarily withdrawn from us.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.) CORN EXCHANGE. The leading country markets held on Saturday were but, moderately supplied with wheat, yet the demand for all kinds ruled very inactive, at barely stationary prices. Bar ley and oats realised full quotations, but all ether articles c)mmanded very little at(ontion. The last advices from New York bring a further decline of 12.3 cents. in the value of flour. In grain very little was doing. The near Continental markets have been inactive. Up to our market, last week, the receipts of English grain were very moderate. From abroad we received 16,508 quarters of wheat, 2,337 barley, 30,546 oats, 525 rye, 3,200 beans, 2,320 peas, 730 tares, 2,174 linseed, 1,837 rapeseed, 95 mustard seed, 29 sundry seeds, and 2,217 sacks of flour. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, were on a very moderate scale, yet tolerably good for the time of year, and in excellent condition. The show of samples was far from extensive, though it included several parcels left over from last week, and the demand for nearly all de scriptions was rather flat. However, factors almost gene rally succeeded in obtaining the prices of Monday last for both red and white qualities. There was a full average supply of foreign wheat on offer, fresh as well as ex granary. Millers evinced very little disposition to purchase any kind ; nevertheless, im porters were firm, and the few transactions reported were at prices equal to those of Monday last. In floating cargoes very little business was transacted. With both home-grown and foreign barley we were fairly supplied. The trade ruled very inactive, but no change took place in the quotations. So little was doing in malt that the currencies were almost nominal. The show of English and Irish oats was small, of foreign extensive. The trade was in a sluggish state, but we have no change to notice in prices. We had a dull sale for both beans and peas, and the quo , tations were barely supported. The flour trade was dull, at last week's currency. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

They found ample employment, for the racing was interesting and important. The proceedings too were in certain respects efficiently conducted, but "administrative reform " was sorely required in the weighing department. The Clerk of the Scales scarcely understood his business, and lacked determination in the discharge of his duties. People too were indiscri minately admitted into the weighing-room, and the many queer characters " mooching " about caused jockeys to keep a sharp eye to their "properties." A trick was played just before the race for the Gold Cup, which was fortunately discovered in time to prevent its taking the intended effect. Basham weighed for King of Trumps, and was pronounced " all right ;" onmount ing he received a "hint " which induced him again to go scale, when to his astonishment he discovered he was about 4lbs overweight ! The meeting was brought to a termination amidst a " stunning row." Cardsharper beat Whitelock by half a length for the Corporation Plate. On returning to scale, however, Clement, the rider of Cardsharper, was found to be 2 lbs. over weight. The scene of riot and confusion which ensued may be easily imagined when I state that "Kit" was present. First, it was stoutly maintained that Clement had de clared his weight. This the clerk of the scales as stoutly denied. The case was subsequently investigated, and the stakes were very properly given to the owner of Whitelock. Mr. Mather's luck has evidently turned, and his good fortune has oreated considerable gratification. The race for the Northumberland Plate requires little comment. They who saw it state that Vindex appeared winning in a canter at the distance, and that 'had he gone up to Whitelook at that point his success would have been re duced to a certainty. When "called upon" he dis played his usual currishness and swerved. Young Wal ters rode Whitelock with admirable tact. Deter mined not to "give a chance away," he kept his horse going throughout, and his light weight brought him home. Rylstone, who had been very "fishy" in the market several days before the race, was withdrawn, and Blooming Heather, who had been much fancied, did not put in an appearance for one of her engagements. Corcebus, too, was an absentee—a circumstance which excited some surprise, for there were two stakes which on paper appeared certainties for him. I may refer with some satisfaction to the correctness of my anticipatory remarks published in The Sum of the 25th ult. I then wrote in reference to the Northumber land Plate as under : " Of the outsiders my preference is for Whitelock,. in consideration of his easy victory at the late meeting at Shrewsbury. On a careful comparison of the chances I am induced to assign the foremost places to VINDEX, BLOOMING HEATHER, and COURTNEY. Should an outsider be destined to pull through, George Mather may give the fielders a " good turn" with Whitelock. His success would be hailed with general satisfaction, for no man on the turf is more respected. His ill luck with his horses is, however, notorious, but he may yet experience the truth of the old proverb about the long lane that has no turning." Blooming Heather did not start ; Vindex was second, Courtney fourth, and the " outsider," Whitelock, won ! The meeting which took place at Cheltenham was comparatively unimportant. Stevens bad the " best of the good things," Hercules proving a capital stalking horse for him. The July Meeting will commence to-morrow. An ave rage supply of sport is promised, and we all know what that is. The July Stakes excites little interest. At present my fancy is for Intimidation ; Cerva, I am in formed, is not expected. Should Illuminator start, I have received so favourable a report of him that I shall be inclined to entertain expectations of his chance. If sound, Tumbler will win the Midsummer Stakes. In his absence Hazel may pull through. The Chester field Stakes requires no discussion. The success of Bird in-Hand appears to be a foregone conclusion. The sport at "merry Carlisle," in quantity at least, is likely to be satisfactory. Twelve items are distributed over the programme, / and for those stakes already closed good entries have been obtained. Of the ten nominations to the Corby Castle Stakes, the Heir of Linne seems most attractive. For the Prince of Wales's Plate, Long staff's "two"—Caliph and Coriu—are entitled to notice. Van Winkle stands next in my estimation. For the Cumberland Plate I am inclined to select Rataplan and Courtney. Should Patience not go to Worcester she may win the Lottery Handicap. The next noteworthy names among the entries are Sir Rowland Trencbard and The Assayer. For the Stewards' Plate I shall stand on Little Jack and Billy Richardson. On Wednesday I will endeavour to indicate the win ners for Worcester. A FRESH MAN. July 2. SPIRIT OP THE PUBLIC JOURNALS. (From the Times of this day.) Surely at the present moment we have got real trou bles on our hands in sufficient abundance without solicit ing, in mere wantonness, any further causes of anxiety here at home. Yesterday afternoon there was a most serious disturbance in Hyee-Park, and the worst of the matter is that the sympathies of nine-tenths of the edu cated population are on the side of the rioters. The pretext for the assemblage was of course this most absurd and ridiculous bill of Lord Robert Grosvenor fot what he calls "the better observance of the Sabbath." The result was just what might have been expected,— that yesterday afternoon Hyde-Park was crowded by a vast multitude, determined in some way or another to make their voice. s heard and their wishes known upon this preposterous attempt on the part of a small, of a very small minority, to impose their bigotry and prejudices upon the mass of the community in the form of law. This was no vulgar mob. For the most part the people were decently at tired, in their " Sunday" clothing, and were exactly taken from that class of persons who habitually resort on the Sunday afternoon to Hampstead, Wimbledon, and other suburban localities of the like kind for the sake of a little fresh air and innocent recreation. As the scene was described by eye-witnesses, wellnigh " every man had a decent coat upon his back." The police regu lations of the day were of the worst description. The police made the worst of the bad regulations, and in every way exceeded their duty. This will sufficiently appear from a mere statement of the evils which could by any possibility have been anticipated, and the precautionary measures which were taken to resist them. What the evils were we know from our experience of last Sunday. The people hooted and groaned at every carriage which passed along the drive near the Serpentine, and exhorted the occu pants to "Go to church," in place of desecrating the Sabbath by inhaling the fresh air of the park on the Sunday afternoon. Last week was any mischief done? Who was hurt? Was a carriage—was a horse injured? The truth is, that no injury was done to anybody, and therefore it was perfectly absurd to plan against the crowd a campaign of a far more vigorous description than any of which we have yet had notice in the Crimea. , Six hundred police constables were directed upon the Serpentine. The attacking force was dexterously con cealed in and about the Humane Society's premises—the reserve was located in the powder magazine. This place was also prepared for the reception of the prisoners who might be captured in the course of the operations. Here they might be confined with their broken heads to meditate upon the abilities of Lord Robert Grosvenor and the perfections of Sabatarianism, as evidenced in their own bloody scalps, until they were forwarded un der escort to Vine-street, or elsewhere, supposing the police to have maintained the communications, despite of indignant ladies and fluttering parasols. Now, it really cannot but strike an unprejudiced ob server that, although it might require six hundred police men to keep a crowd of a hundred thousand persons in order, yet in all probability six policemen might have prevented any carriage at all from entering the drive, and so all cause of offence would have been removed. The crowd would have strolled about, the younger mem bers of it would have smoked cigars of a stupendous flavour, the ladies would have indulged in pop and gin ger-beer, or sought for yet cooler libations at Lord Douro's fountain. There would have been some rough joking and a round of well-deserved groans for Lord Grosvenor, and in due time these dis appointed rioters would have returned home. It seemed, how ever, a wiser course in the eyes of our rulers to give to these " high jinks" of the people the dignity of an affair. Carriages were admitted to the Drive, and when the hooting began the police rushed out from their ambus cades, and made unsparing use of their truncheons on every person within their reach. So vigorous was their onset that the people were driven about in all directions, the constables pursuing, and hitting away right and left. By a very clever manoeuvre, for which the very highest credit is due to the gallant constable in command at that particular point, a portion of the crowd was driven into the Serpentine. To avoid the truncheons some of the baffled foe—as it is reported to us—absolutely took to the water, and endeavoured by swimming to gain the oppo site bank ; but no resource is unknown to British valour. The police had boats ab their service, and the fierce creatures were brought back in triumph to the shore. Need we say that the police were victorious in this hotly-contested affair ? Tranquillity was finally re stored, and we can but express an earnest wish that a medal may be given to every police constable engaged in this spirited affair. On the one side let the inscrip• tion be " Serpentine, July 1, 1855 ;" on the other " Lord Robert Grosvenor and the Sabbath unpro faned." Next Sunday we are threatened with a repetition of similar scenes, and probably on repe tition they will be found to be of a more serious nature. Such occurrences as those of yesterday do not take place without leaving much exasperation behind. At the present moment we cannot afford to waste time and attention upon Lord Robert Grosvenor and this Sabbatarian tomfoolery. The people of London don't want a Sunday bill, and there's an end of it. Lord Robert Grosvenor has as much, right to force such a measure down their throats against their will as any private individual would have to int erfere in the ar rangements of his household. We can inform, him that while the bludgeon-work was at its height mur murs and curses against the " aristocracy" were heard, as though they were the cause 9f this dire confusion, 62; I 92} 76 1271 81k 1 101 101 i 2G 51 73 2i 3i 44 12i a 27i 8 7i 1 all Agna Fria ... 1 all Anglo Austrin, Gold 10s. all Anglo Californian ~. s $ 20 6 Australian 1 ¢ la 1 all Australian Cordiller - 1 all Ave Maria — 1 all Baden (GA.Duchy of # 50 all BlEonarvon Iron and Coal 6 7 20 14 BritiFl Iron 5 6 35 26 Brazilianlmp.(issue.' at £5 pm.) 30 all Do.

The receipts of beasts from our own grazing districts were but moderate. Compared with several previous market days there was a decided falling off in their weight. As the attendance of buyers was good the beef trade ruled firm, at an advance in the quotations paid on Monday last of fully 2d. per 81bs. A few very prime Scots realised quite 4d. 10d., but the general top figure for beef was 4s. Bd. per 81bs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 2,000 Scots and shorthorns; from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds; and from Scotland 400 horned and polled Scots. There was rather an extensive show of sheep. For most breeds the demand was firmer than on Friday • neverthe less, it was decidedly inactive at 2d per 81bs beneath the currencies of Monday last. The best old Downs realised 4s 10d per Sibs. For lambs, the supply of which was good, the demand was rather slow at 4d per Sibs beneath the quotations rea lised on this day's se'ennight. The highest figure was 6s per Blbs. We were well supplied with calves, in which a full ave rage business was transacted at 4d per 81bs beneath last Monday's prices.

Very moderate supplies of potatoes have come to hand coastwise since Monday last, but the imports have amounted to nearly 300 tons, chiefly new, from the Con tinent and the Channel Islands.

Very few hops are on sale in our market. How ever, the trade—arising from the favourable accounts re specting the growing bine—is very inactive, at last week's prices. The imports have been only 13 bales from Ham burgh. Mid and East Kent pockets, 141. to 181.10 s. ; Weald of Kent ditto, 131. 10s. to 151 Os. ; Sussex ditto, 121. to 131. 10s. WOOL. As the public sales will c,mmence on Thursday next, the amount of business doing in foreign and colonial qua lities is very limited, yet prices are freely supported. All English wools are brisk, and again rather dearer. Last week's imports were 401 bales from Portland Bay, 50 from Paris, 159 from Hamburgh, 220 from Bombay, 15 from Alexandria, and 35 from Mogadore.

Blackwood. —An ingenious comparison 18 Ynade in a review of " The Imperial Policy of-Russia, ~ between the recent demand of that Power to keep up an undiminished force in the Black Sea and the application of an " eminent housebreaker" to have his professional tools given up to him on his release from prison. Had a peace been arranged, says the writer, Russia might be said to have completed the term of her imprisonment ; her ships of war and stores at Sebastopol being her professional tools, the cannon and mortars the skele ton keys with which she would pick the lock of the Ottoman Porte—one difference being, however, that the magistrates in question had possession of the tools of their adventurer. It is justly remarked that by refusing to give up these offensive possessions, or even toabstainfrom increas ing them, Russia at once admits her intentions with regard to Constantinople, as "what else can she want with a great fleet in the Black Sea or with the fortifications of Sebastopol ?" An inva sion, it is remarked, would never be commenced there, nor would any nation build a first-class for tification to protect a little district of summer resi dence and seabathing, the name of which was hardly ever mentioned before, and of which it is observed the better informed probably knew enough to say it was a place somewhere in Southern Russia. A retrospect of the history of the empire traces its encroaching and aggressive policy from the days of Peter the Great, one of whose lines of policy it was to form the connection which so strongly links the interests of Germany with the destinies of Russia. " Zaidee," a romance, is continued, and this in stalment gives us several incidents. One of these is the discovery by the heroine of an old volume belonging to her grandfather, in which he has left a record of his repentance, and desire for atone ment. A serious fit of illness follows, but the whimsical family are all much attached to her, and she is well cared for and finally recovers. Another incident is the discovery of the first trace of Zaidee by the now diminished family at the Grange, but their search proves un availing. The " Notes on Canada and the North West . of America" is continued. In these regions the value of land is frequently doubled in a year, or even sometimes in a few months. Wisconsin was only admitted into the Union as a state in 1848. In 1838 the population was only 18,130, in 1850 the census return was 305,91. The Governor of the State asserted in 1854 that there were upwards of 500,000 inhabitants, who had all emigrated there within the last fifteen years. The second letter to Basebius on " Once upon a Time" is on this occasion devoted 10 the consideration of the book itself, of which it draws such an attractive picture, that if any further inducement to read it was wanted beyond the name of the author, the anecdotes and literary history here -quoted ivoiald surely furnish it. " The Story of the Campaign" relates, among other incidents, the assault of the Mamelon and Quarries. It is followed by one of the most remarkable articles in the number, a vigor ous, unflinching, and indignant denunciation of the Aberdeen Cabinet, which traces the whole course of their duplicity, vacillation, and Russian policy. Individually and collectively they are held up to unmitigated and well-merited censure. After at tacking Mr. Gladstone for his sympathy for the Russian losses, the writer exclaims :—" Good in tentions ! it is well ; but that does not suffice for men who have to act for an empire. We do not imagine that the Aberdeen Cabinet preferred the interests of the Czar to those of their country—we do not conceive that they wilfully compromised the safety, thcugh they knowingly compromised the honour, of England. Yet they actually did all these things. They invited the Cossacks into Europe. They have involved civilisation in a dilemma, and liberty in a death struggle. At the same time they have kept England unarmed, unwarned, and with no allies save such as forced themselves upon us in our Government's despite. And to all this they have added a career of duplicity towards the nation, which deepens their folly and mismanagement into a criminality which we care not to define." Well may the writer at last exclaim :—" Away with them ! Never more let them touch helm or sail of the State. They have brought England to the edge of the reefs, and they have shaken the good ship to its keel. Let us have no more such pilots. A good name is now degraded, and Peelism is Rus sianism." The number concludes with a paper on " Administrative Reform." The Dublin University .—" The Dramatic Writers of Ireland" has for its memoii Richard Brinsley Sheridan. As may be supposed, an interesting subject is thus given, and an explicit, while neces sarily curtailed, account is presented of the life and actions of this remarkable character. It is said that already many have been occupied with record ing "the varied abilities, systematic profusion, convivial intemperance, brilliant conversational wit, unrivalled eloquence, dazzling meridian, and most melancholy decline, of this gifted but ill-regu lated son of genius." It is a curious circumstance that Mrs. Sheridan consigned the subject of this sketch, with his brother, to a schoolmaster, with the remark that they were the two dullest boys she had ever met with. Sheridan early displayed the want of judgment and caution that characterised his life. He ran away with the beautiful Miss Linley when ho was twenty-two and she eighteen. He was without profession or income. The first at tempt of Sheridan was the comedy of " The Rivals," which, successful and meritorious as it has since proved to be, was badly received the first night. Very different was the re ception given to " The School for Scandal." " The drop had not fallen on the first act before the whole house felt they were sitting in judgment on a master-piece—one of those rare productions which appear once in a century, an inspiration of real genius and an exhibition of truthful character, drawn from nature, without reference to age, society, local manners, or ephemeral fashions." The critic here states that perhaps this play may be placed at the head of all recent comedies, not only in the English, but in any European language. A passenger walking near Drary-lane was startled by a noise that resemlaled rolling thunder and an earthquake. Ho learned on inquiry that it was the applause of the audience at the new comedy. When twenty-eight Sheridan relinquised the drama for a new sphere of celebrity ; although unsuccess ful in the outset of his Parliamentary career h 3 persevered. It is said that his celebrated speech on the charge against Warren Hastings forlhe spo liation of the Begams produced an effect never equalled before or since in the walls of any legis lative assembly. Burke, Fox, and Pitt outvied each other in their praises, and Byron in his monody has thus recorded it : " When the loud cry of trampled Hindostan Arose to Heaven in her appeal to man, His was the thunder, his the avenging rod, The wrath, the delegated voice of God, Which shook the nations through bis lips, and blazed, Till vanquish'd senates trembled as they praised.", The concluding portion of this sketch is sad and gloomy ; it records how he " whose passionate and creative genius had stirred the hearts of nations by its inspired sympathy, and governed senates by its burning elcquence," was left to die unnoticed and alone. On Sunday a sheriff's officer arrested the expiring sufferer. On the following Saturday all that was mortal was conveyed to the grave iu West minster Abbey in the presence of royalty— "And bailiffs may seize his last blanket to-day, Whose pall shall be held up by nobles to-morrow." By the grave of Sheridan aro three similar, which are those of John Henderson, David Garrick, and Samuel Johnson. It is observed that "it would be difficult to select four mare remarkable men lying together in the peaceful communion of the grave throughout the vast extent of that thickly peopled and time-honoured necropolis." " Al berico Porro," a tale of the Milanese Revolution of 1848, is an exciting story; but, as may be premised from the title, its details are of a painful nature. The cruel and unjust policy pursued by the Aus trians towards the unfortunate Italians is vividly narrated, and the state of the country in its indig nant, and yet depressed, spirit ably described. The hero is a young nobleman, whom his friends ire urging on to rise up.against the invaders, but who hesitates at first till roused by a scene of cruelty committed against some poor tenants of his by the soldiers of the oppressors, he is left weigh ing over in his mind the chances of success the tyrants. " Papers on , Poetry" has for its su the ballads of Spain, their ag e and origin. is called tl e against We are informed that their number sur p asses that Do i n of all the European nations combined. Many have attempted arranging them in a chronologicale d classj pine r a f b r m e fication, but the task has beensibiesd y o t Augustin Duran, who, it Percy of Spain. The work he has arranged contains nearly two thousand ballads, to which is a ffi xed a discourse of great utility of an historical and criti cal character. Tho various styles are here alluded to, traditional, literary, and poetic. The ballad was in its greatest glory when "Lop e an d G ongora took it into their own possession ; then indeed it clothed itself in all the splendour of poesy, diffusing among the people an intense feeling of poetic en joyment, which found its fullest fruition in the drama; to which it contributed materials that even yet are unexhausted." " The Government, the Departments, and the War" contains some forcible arguments against the • piesent state of things. In speaking of Administrative Reform, it is observed that the Conservatives first recognised its necessity —that their Cabinet was formed of " ability before rank." After some remarks made on the motion of Lord Ellenborough in the Lords the writer thus proceeds 2WV ioncl SkAborouo attain in tOiloords Mr. Disraeli has repeated in the Commons, with the same result. The observations we have applied to the first debate on administrative reform fit the others. The Derby Chancellor of the Exchequer by his defeated motion secured the important triumph for his party of Placing them before the country as not only the favourers, but the originators, of a comprehensive sche me of improved administration. The very phrase which has now become the motto of a great association sprang from him. In his speech of December, 1852, he first gave Ministerial embodiment to the growing, but then sot formid a bl e , movemen t f or government b y merit, and the proper exercise of patronage. Others carried out his views in part, but sufficient yet remains _ of his plan unadopted to form a distinctive feature of Conservative policy; and knowing this to be the case Mr.' Disraeli, in hia oration during the Layard debate, pledged the party of whi ch he is ' a brilliant member, to a thorough departmental r eformation. To that extent the Whigs will not, cannot go. They are bound by too many ties. Their political existence is too abnormal. As a body they are composed of heterogeneous mate rials, cohering badly. But the conservatives are a com pact power ; and if they be in a. zninority in the present Parliament, are ren d ere d so bycoalitions without principle or any elements of continuance. In adhering rat.onally and practically to administrative refornk we give a really valuable pledge which should satisfy the nation at large, sealed as it is by the efforts about being p ut forth when a disgraceful faction expelled Lord Derby f rom off i ce. Mr. Disraeli, with singular wisdom, enunciated b roa dly on the occasion to w hi c h we re f er th e views of hie party, and their determination, should they occupy the Tree. sury benches before the so-much desiderated changes are effected. What could be more pointed, vigorous, or definite than the following declaration : " lam of opinion that the entrance into that service should not be by mere favouritism. I think it should be the subject of a substantial and real test of fitness, and I think the idea of a substantial and real teat of fit ness is not illusory, but essentially practical. I think, in the second place, that the rewards of our public civil servants should be on a higher scale. I think that the result of the change will be public economy, and not in creased expenditure. I think that the reward of the public servants should not be merely of a fixed nature, but that they should be trained to look upon other and more spiritual rewards which animate and ennoble the conduct of men. I am also of opinion that the civil service of the country ought to be made and must be made, strictly and completely professional, and the great offices of the State should be reserved for public servants who have been trained and educated in the permanent civil service. These are what I think sound and judicious changes. They are changes of admiiiistrative reform . They are changes which I think every Government ought to adopt and carry out, and nothing short of this ought to satisfy the house." Bentley's Miscellany.—The comprehensive ques tion of " How We are all Getting On," is the title of the opening paper in this magazine, which takes a brief view of affairs, without arriving at any very novel or striking conclusion. The article which follows is on the present Czar, Alexander 11., of whom, considering his position, comparatively little is known. It is, of course, difficult to foretell his future career from his antecedents, or divine what effect power and position will have on his character. The present sketch of him is founded on a work by M. Leonzon Leduc, entitled " Per sonal Reminiscences of the Emperor Alexander IL," recently published at Paris. " Neapolitan Expe riences" relates a romance of Italian life, a love story, with all sorts of misfortunes, and a happy conclusion. Indian warfare is be coming quite a forgotten subject, but the author of an article on the annexation of Nag pore thinks it right to call the attention of the public to the principle of our policy in Hiudostan. For a country which consoles itself in all the pri vation and suffering occasioned by the present cam paign by the consideration of the justice of its cause, he considers the system of aggression and appro priation displayed in our Indian dominions to be somewhat inconsistent. A paper on " Sebastopol, Kertch, and the Sea of Azoff" relates the recent events of the campaign, and takes a general sum mary of the present state of affairs in the Crimea. "Ad Statuas" is a description of a visit to the Vatican by night, lighted only by wax tapers. The effect of this is described as most im pressive. " The Mormons in Utah" gives an account of that extraordinary sect, whose in crease and prosperity since their settlement in Utah has been something surprising. In 1852 the heads of the community sent messengers through all the branch colonies to discover how many Mor mons would enter a poorhouse they proposed to establish. Out of more than thirty thousand per sons, most of whom' hal joined the colony ex tremely poor, only two preferred a claim for relief! Among the most remarkable papers is "An Essay on Leigh Hunt " by Monkshood. Co/burn's United Service.—The usual narrative of the naval and military operations of the month is accompanied by a useful sketch-map of the ope rations in the sea of Azoff. The Governor of her Majesty's settlements in Gambia contributes some useful information respecting western Africa in a bluff soldierly fashion. " Errors on the Subject of the present State of the Army" starts with a mis take. No outcry has ever been raised against peninsular experience ; the complaint has been that experience has been preferred to active com mand after it has been reduced to go on crutches. A misstatmeut like this will hardly prepare the lay reader to believe in the writer's flattering ac count of the general or purely military organisation and regulation of the army, which be represents as incapable of improvement, though in another ar ticle it is frankly admitted that the chance of rising from the ranks is so infinitesimally small as to be inoperative for good. Among the remaining papers are a lucid account of " The War of Libe ration in the Peloponnesus in 1820," and a continu ation of two valuable articles on " Central Ame rica" and "Military Education," the Editor with his "Portfolio" bringing up the rear as energeti cally, and with as much good sense, mingled with professional prejudice, as ev,er. In his defence of Lord Raglan—which, to our thinking, bears the marks of warm personal friendship—the talents and services of that noble and lamented com mander are lauded as we would be happy to be lieve they deserve. The editorial remarks on the magsacre at Hango, and other Russian barbarities, will find an echo in every British heart ; and it is to be hoped the recommendation to British officers to hold no intercourse for the future with Russian officers will be followed.

The most in teresting feature, however, of the Zoist for July, to the general reader at least, will be a phrenologi cal sketch, made at Milan in 1812, of the character cf Colonel Haynau, since well known as Marshal Haynau, "by Dr. Castle, of Montmorency, near Paris ;" and an illustrated paper—to which Dr. Elliotson contributes the introduction and conclu sion—by Mr. Straton, of Rosebank, near Dundee, ou " The Correspondence between the Characters and Heads of the two Murderers lately Executed at Newgate," the cerebral developments in each case, and, more especially, or rather obviously, in the two latter being shown to correspond, phrenologi cally speaking , with their known ch aracters in a remarkable dgree, thereby giving force to the les son of humility and thankfulness Dr. Elliotson in culcates. in connection with Haynau, we learn from a foot-note, that it was whispered at Vienna, that at the post 2nol tem, as it was thought to be, of the Marshal, "his heart was seen to beat, the blood flowed, and he groaned." —lt will be rememb ere d th a t last month o N n e t w h al description was given in this maga zine of the organisation of the army of Austria. strength o f orders o f i the s e ry Prussian large, army.

The series of papers on the Eighteenth Century " are this month devoted to a curious and interesting topic—the Wars and ap prehensions of Invasion at that period. The thirty-third number of " Literary Leaflets," by Sir Nathaniel, presents us with a criticism on the " Life and Letters of the Rev. Sydney Smith," lately published. The " Diary of a First Winter in Rome" is nearly at an end, we should surmise, as it has now reached the " Holy Week." A new story is commenced in this number, with the not very attractive appellation of " Stoke Dotterell, or the Liverpool Apprentice." Loss OF A. STEAMER OFF FOLKESTONE.—On Saturday afternoon a telegraphic despatch from Folkestone was posted in the underwriters' room at Lloyd's, announcing that a steamer, which had evidently been in collision .with some ship in the Channel, and had been taken in tow by the Government transport steam -ship Chester, No. 182, had gone down in about 15 fathoms water, some two miles oft Folkestone, between seven and eight that (Saturday) morning. Nothing further had trans- pired, but it is believed that they were endeavouring to make the pert when the Ammer foundered. ..a,... , . Y.)
