In the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday the sales were estimated at from 8,000 to 10,000, of which 1,000 were taken for export and 500 on speculation. They included 20 Bahia 5/d. to 6d., 300 Egyptian Sid. to 7d., and 1,000 Surats to sd. per lb. The market closed with an upward tendency. Compared with Friday's rates prices of American were 1-16th more against the buyers. All other sorts were unchanged. The Railway Share Market was heavy, little business being done, and prices were lower than on Friday. A telegraph despatch from Madrid, of the 3rd inst., announces that the Junta of Tariffs has de dared that the exportation of bark for tanning and making cork is open from that date. The sale of clergy lands, on the Ist Nov., included 2,079 pro perties. Their total value, as sold by auction, amounted to 21,010,056 reals, and the price fixed by adjudication on account of the Govern ment is 40,680,228 reals. Thus leaving a balance of 19,070,772 reals to the credit of the State. The quit rents redeemed up to that time had amounted to the number of 1,513, of the value of 6,528,172. It will be remembered that one-half of the issue surplus monies accruing from the ecclesiastical lands in Spain will be appropriated towards the liquida tion of the floating debt of the State. Saturday on the Paris Bourse showed a favour able improvement in the value of the French funds. The 3 per cent Rentes, at the close of the day, bad advanced 50 centimes on the morning's prices, both for money and account. In the Share Market there was a similar improvement, and shares of the Credit Mobilier, which have been falling during the last fortnight, were on the rise. Shares of the Credit Foncier were firm at an advance on previous prices, and Austrian Society shares, which bad touched a fall of 30f., had rallied to within sf. of the preceding week's quotations. Bank Shares remained steady, without variation. Railway Shares, which bad declined up to Friday, recovered, in consequence of the favourable weekly reports published, which showed an average in crease in the value of the traffic on the pripcipal lines from 10 to 15 per cent. al:ove the corresponding week of 1854. _ . The advices from New York received this morn ing state that there had been a panic in the stock market. Although money was comparatively easy, and the banks were able to retain the Californian receipts, there was very little confidence in the future, as it was considered that a renewal of specie shipments to Europe would soon recommence. The last official statement showed an increase in the amount of specie held by the banks of 1,322,845 dollars compared with the previous week. The exportation of bread stuffs continued very active, principally to London and Liverpool. As regards the importation of mer chandise generally, there was a material falling off. From Ceylon we learn that the fine weather which had prevailed was rapidly ripening the coffee, the picking of which continued throughout most districts. The plantation of this staple was increasing, and forest land was in demand. There was a good supply of shipping. The market for English Stocks has rather an up ward turn, owing to the fact that very little is said in the American papers upon the subject of a pro bable misunderstanding with this country. In Stock Exchange circles many aro of opinion that the affair is settled. Consols opened at 88i for money, and 88i 4 for account. For a short time they were even rather higher for the latter, but when an advance of 2s. per quarter in the corn market was announced they declined to 881 sellers. For the December account they have been 88/ 4. The New Three per Cents. are 88 to 88?,, and the Reduced 874 Exchequer Bills are worth Bs. to 45., discount being higher. In the Foreign - Market the most important change has been effected in Turkish Bonds, the 6 per Cents. being 79i and the New Scrip 2/ discount. Sardinian Bonds are 84k, Grenada Active 191 to 20, and the Deferred 61 to 7. These are the only dealings recorded, the market being very dull. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks ; Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6i to 7 ; Mexican, 191 to 1 ; Peruvian, 73 to 75 ; ditto Three per Cents., 53 to 54; 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 New Deferred, 19i to # ; ditto Three per Cents., 371- to 8 ; ditto Certificates, 4i to # ; ditto Pas sive, 5} to #.

Lancaster and Carlisle Nov. 7, Lancaster. Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire Nov. 8, Manchester. In consequence of the improvement in the Funds most of the Railway Shares rule higher, and rather more business is doing. Some of the principal lines are fully to per cent, better, as compared with the latest quotations of the last week. The Foreign undertakings show very little alteration, owing to the limited number of transactions en tered into. The Canadian lines are rather firmer. In the Miscellaneous Market Canada Land Shares are. 101. better. Banking and Mining Shares are steady. BRITISH FUNDS THIS DAY.-CLOSING PRICE. S, (From the Official List.

MARKET NEWS.—(This Day). CORN EXC,IIANGE. The supplies of wheat in the leading country markets held on Saturday were but moderate, yet the trade ruled inacttve, and prices were rather lower. Fine barley was scarce, and in request, at full quotations. Most other kinds of produce were a slow sale, Cu former terms. Tho bu,iness doing in grain in most of the near conti nental ports continues very limited. Prices, however, rule high. The latest advices from America state that large quantities of grain and flour continue to be pur chased for shipment to England and France. Very moderato supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad were 4,373 quarters of wheat, 33 barley, 24,589 oats, 136 beans, 2,775 peas, 89 tares, 8,184 linseed, 8,601 rapeseed, 147 mustard seed, 223 sundry seeds, and 3,272 sacks of flour. Fresh up to-day the arrivals of English wheat were very limited, but in fair condition. As there were more coun try buyers in attendance than of late, there was an im proved demand for all kinds, at an advance in the quota tions obtained on Monday last of 2s. per quarter. The quantity of wheat received from Estiex was smaller than for many previous weeks. With f 'reign wheat, fresh as well as ex granary, we were but moderately supplied. The active advices from America, and the limited nature of our imports last week, caused holders to be very firm. However, the business done was almost wholly confined to immediate wants, yet in some instances the finest red qualities were ls. per quar ter dearer than on this day so'nnight. Floating cargoes generally held for more money. Fine malting barley realised la per quarter advance. Grinding and distilling sorts were steady, at full quota tions. There was a moderate sale for malt, at full prices. Old oats sold to a fair extent, at fully late rates. New qualities—the supply of which was good—were dull, and 6d per quarter cheaper. Beans and peas sold steadily, at full prices. The flour trade was firm, but we have no material change to notice in the quotations. CURRENCY PEU IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The Irish stock continues to arrive in excellent condition, and perfectly free from disease ; but buyers generally state that both the beasts and sheep, though heavy in appearance, come very light to the scale. There was about an average supply of foreign stock in to-day's market. The fresh arrivals from Ireland, via Liverpool, amounted to 330 beasts and 1,300 sheep, the whole in excellent condition. _ _ . From our own grazing districts the receipts of boasts put up this morning were moderate, but their general quality was very inferior. Nearly all breeds were in good request, and prices were 2d. per Blbs higher than on Monday last. The primest beasts sold readily at from 5s to 5s 2d per 81ba ; very prime breeds were worth 2d more. The arrivals of boasts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire amounted to 2,00 0 short horns, and from other parts of England 400 of various breeds. We had no fresh arrivals from Scotland. For the time of year the show of sheep was small, and is poor condition. The mutton trade was decidedly active, and the quotations ruled 2d per 81bs higher than on this day se'nnight. The best Downs were worth 5s 2d per Sibs. We were but moderately supplied with calves, and the veal trade was brisk, at 2d per Blbs above the prices paid on Monday last. The best veal realised 5s 2d per 81bs. The supply of pigs was moderate, and the pork trade ruled active, at fully last week's currency. The top figure was Cts per Sibs.

QUEEN'S BENCH. (Sittings in Banco.) (Before Lord Chief Justice Campbell, Mr. Justice Cole ridge, Mr. Justice Wightman, and Mr. Justice Erle.) ROIIIIICS V. 811011 T. Mr. Atherton, Q.C., moved that the plaintiff should have liberty to enter the verdict on the second plea in his favour that bad been returned by the jury for the de fendant. The action was tried at the last Liverpool assizes, before Mr. Justice Crowder, and was for goods bargained and sold under the following circumstances : —The parties were rag merchants, and in dealing for a quantity of rags a discussion arose as to the price of certain rags supplied on a former occasion whether the price was is. 9d. or 6s. per cwt.—the plaintiff contending it was Cs., the defendant ss. 9d. It was arranged the question should be decided by a wager, the loser paying for a quart of brandy ; and further that, if the plaintiff were right, the plaintiff should pay 6s. per cwt. for the rags then sold, but if wrong the defendant should have them for 3s. per cwt. It afterwards appeared the plaintiff was right, and the defendant paid for the brandy, but refused to take rags at 83., at which they were invoiced, where upoa the action was brought. The defendant pleaded first non-indebted, and secondly, a special plea that the con tract depended on a wager, and could therefore not be enforced. The jury found for the plaintiff on the first plea, and for the defendant on the second ; the learned judge who tried the case reserving to the plaintiff leave to move. The learned counsel submitted that the defendent had not proved his plea, and also that if he had it was of no effect, for there was a complete bargain and sale, and the wager was a matter collateral to the contract for the breach of which the action had been brought. The court granted a rule nisi. THE ODESSA CHARTERS.--AVERY V. BOWDEN. Mr. Watson, Q.C., moved for a rule to show cause why the verdict in the case for the plaintiff should not be set aside and entered for the defendant, and also for a new trial. The action was tried at the last Guildhall sittings before Lord Campbell, and was for a breach of contract arising from the declaration of war between this country and Russia. In this case there were two separate charges of breaches of two charters involving different questions. The plaintiff was a shipowner of Shield', and the defendant a merchant at Hull, and the first charter was that the Rolla should proceed to Fal mouth or Queenstawn, there receive her orders and then proceed to Constantinople, and from thence to Odessa, or as near as she could get there, and load a cargo of either tallow, wheat, seed, or other gaain, with which she should return to any port in the United Kingdom. The clause in the charter on which the question turned was this :—" It is, further agreed, that in case of war having commenced previously to and continuing on the ship's arrival at Constantinople, the defendant was bound to load the ship there at 10s. per ton less than if loaded at Odessa." After the sailing of the •essel war was declared between Great Britain and Russia, and the question was the meaning of the word " war" in the charter party, in connection with the date of its decla ration and being known at Constantinople. Mr. Justice Wightman said that must be taken to be such a war as would prevent the ship taking in her oargo, Mr. Watson said the 7second charter was that of the Lebanon. The same term was in the charter party, but she was to load at Odessa. She arrived there but did not load, and a question arose here in addition to the term of the charter party relative to the war, whether a dispensation had been given to the captain, and which the jury confirmed on the trial. He was now in posses sion of letters from the captain, dated 3d and 4th of April, after the declaration of war was known at ( idessa, making no mention of a dispensation, but in reality asking for one. In addition to that the Emperor of Russia published an ukase on the 3d March prohibit ing the exportation of grain at Odessa. Lord Campbell said it was an important question, and the learned couasel could take a rule generally. COURT OF EXCHEQUER• TYRZB V. RITSON. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover damages of the plaintiff for loss sustained in leakage, &c., of a quantity of beer forwarded by them in the de fendant's vessel, from London to Liverpool, arising from bad etawage. The action was originally tried at Liverpool, a n d was for the plaintiff, the learned judge allowing the defendan to move to bet aside the verdict. Mr. E. James, Q.C., moved for a rule calling upon the plaintiff to show cause wby the verdict should not be set aside and entered for the defendant. Rule refused. EXCHEQUER CHAMBERS. (Before Mr. Baron Martin and a Common Jury.) MORGAN V. LORD CLINTON. This was an action brought by the plaintiff to recover 61. Is. of the noble defendant. It appeared from the evidence that the defendant was a shareholder in the Grange Silver sad Lead Mining Company, Aherystwith. The real question was to establish the noble lord's lia bility. The company was established in 1849, when the defendant became a shareholder, the understanding be ing that the mine should be worked on the cost-book principle. The jury had not returned their verdict when we went to press. POLICE INTELLIGENCE--{This Day.) MARY LEBONE.

Lieutenant-Colonel Thomas Graham, of the Ist Royal Regiment of Foot, who landed at Portsmouth invalided from the Crimea yesterday week, died at the Royal Naval Hospital, at _Hastar, on Friday night, aged 46. The gallant deceased left his sick bed to lead on his men to the assault of the Redan, at Sebastopol, on the Bth of September, by which exposure he incurred illness which has terminated fatally. He was sinking rapidly when the ship arrived. He had seen 30 years' full pay service in the army. His commissions bore date : —Ensign, May, 1826 ; Lieutenant, April, 1827 ; Captain, August, 1833 ; Major, May, 1844 ; Brevet Lieutenant-Colonel, June 20, 1854 ; Lieutenant-Colonel, June 25, 1855. Her Majesty's steam-frigate Penelope, 18, Captain Sir William Wiseman, after a refit, left Portsmouth harbour for Spithead on Saturlay, and was to leave . the latter roadstead yesterday evening. for the Gambia, Sierra Leone, Ascension, and the Cape of Good Hope, taking a mail for the latter colony, and despatches for the Corn manders-in•Chief on the coast of Africa and Cape sta tions. She also took out Major Ord, of the Royal En gineers, to inspect the state of the forts on the Gold Coast, and as a commissiußer to adjust certain "difficul ties" between the sable monarchs of certain territories and their belligerent neighbours an subjects. His Imperial French Majesty's steam gun-boats La Lance, Capitaine de Tonquibres, and `La St. Barbe, Capitaine Peyron, arrived at Spithead yesterday from the Baltic, last Iron Ramsgate for Cherbourg. They put in from strong headwinds, and intend to start again this morning, weather permitting. The officers landed at Portsmouth, and were presented to the Port-Admiral by Chevalier Vandenbergh, who afterwards entertained them at the French Consulate. The Dapper, steam gun-boat, arrived at Portsmouth on Saturday night from the Baltic. By the Peninsular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Sultan, which arrived at Southampton yesterday morn ing with the Peninsular mail, we have the following items of naval and military intelligence from Gibraltar: —Her Majesty's steamship Horatio, 10 days from Malta, left Gibraltar Tor England on the 21st ult. The British steamer Azoff, 10 days from London, with huts, &c., for Balaklava, arrived at Balaklava on the 20th ult. The steam transport Jackal', having had her machinery repaired, sailed from Gibraltar for the Crimea on tee 22d ult. The British steam transport Niagara, with in valids, passed Gibraltar for England on the afternoon of the 23d. The British steam transport Levant, 11 days from Lowestoft, with railway materials, for Balaklava, arrived at Gibraltar on the 23:1. The Levant was obliged to put into the Tagus from stress of weather. The screw steam transport Imperatrice, seven days and seven hours from London, with medical stores for the Crimea, arrived at Gibraltar on the 22d ult. During the voyage she experienced very severe weather. The 'steam transport Pacific, five days and six hours from London, with Government stores for Balaklava, also arrived at Gibraltar on the 22d. The British steamer Black Sea, 10 days from London, with railway stores for Balaklava, arrived at Gibraltar on the 23d ult. The British steam-transport Robert Lowe, 27 days from Ba laklava, 15 from Constantinople, and eight from Malta, with invalids for Portsmouth, reached Gibraltar on the 24th. The French line-of-battle ship Tage, of 100 guns, appeared off Cadiz on the morning of the 21st ult., dis masted, and was towed into that port by a steamer. The Tage had thrown overboard all her guns but four. A heavy squall at the mouth of the Straits is supposed to be the cause of the disaster. The steam gun-boats Badger and Redwing, from the Baltic, last from Spithead, arrived at Plymouth on Sa turday, and went up Hamoaze. They are to be refitted in the Keyham docks. No more launches will take place this year at Pem broke, but there will be several early in the spring. The newly-erected wooden barracks will shortly be ready for occupation. The Rhadarnanthus, Master Commander Belam, from Malta and Gibraltar, after landing 75 convicts from the latter place at Portsmouth, arrived on Saturday morning at Woolwich, and will be taken into basin to ship ma chinery and boilers for the western yards. The steamer Caradoc, Lieutenant Chandos Stanhope commanding, has gone down to Greenhithe for the ad justment of her compasses, and will return to Woolwich to-day prior to her departure/or Marseilles. The inter nal fittings of the Caradoc are not terminated in conse quence of some changes considered necessary for the accommodation of the numerous suite of Lerd Canning. Her ladyship, accompanied by one of the aides-de-camp, Captain Bouverie, went down to Woolwich on Thursday last, and inspected the cabin appointments. The Admi ralty upholstery contractor has since received orders to fit up the salon and sleeping berth according to Lady Canning's instructions, and the officers of the ship must necessarily be provided for in the forepart of the vessel. The Caradoc, after landing her passengers at Alexandria, will proceed to the Black Sea. There is a considerable increase in the arrival of shot and shell at the Arsenal wharves at Woolwich, which are daily crowded with vessels of large burden, discharging their cargoes, thereby augmenting the already incredible quantity in piles and heaps. A number of mortar car riages are being fitted for eventual service, and for some days past a daily proof of 10 11-inch mortars has taken 'dace at the butt. The same diligence prevails in the dockyard in fitting out a number of gun-boats. A for midable fleet of these useful vessels will be in readiness to sail thence in the ensuing spring. The Magpie, gun-boat, Lieut.-Commander B. C. J. Pim, arrived at Sheerness, from the Baltic on Friday last, at 4 p.m. She is ordered to proceed to Plymouth, but, owing to defects, cannot leave at present. The Merlin, 6, paddle-wheel steam-vessel, Capt. B. J. Sullivan, C. 8., arrived at Sheerness, from the Baltic, on Saturday, at 6.45 a.m., and left yesterday morning on particular service. The Sanspareil, 70, screw steam-ship, Capt. W. J. Williams, came into Sheerness harbour on Saturday at 8.45 a.m., but owing to the heavy wind and rain, nothing was done. Dockyard lighters are already laden with her lower deck guns and gun-carriages, and will be sent alongside this day. . . _ The steamTvessel Adder, Master-Commander J. Mun cham, left Sheerness on Saturday at 6 a.m., with Mr. John Jackson, Assistant-Master-Attendant of the yard, to proceed to render assistance to the gun-boat Hind, and to make the necessary arrangements for her being got afloat next spring tides, if practicable. The Basilisk, 6, paddle-wheel steam-sloop, Comman der Robert Jenner, arrived at Sheerness from the Baltic yesterday, at 9 a.m., with the Watertank schooner in tow. The Basilisk and schooner Tank remain in harbour. A telegraphic order has arrived at Sheerness for the Belleisle, hospital-ship, to proceed to the westward. Mr. Brookman, master of the steam-tender (to Waterloo) Wildfire, was sent on board in pilot charge of her, and she left at daylight on Saturday morning for Portsmouth and Plymouth. _ _ On Saturday evening, during the heavy weather, the boat of the Thistle gun-boat was capsized in Sheerness harbour, and had it not been for the watch on board the steam-vessel Myrtle, Master-Commander Bourchier, who also heard the cries for help, the engineer and three of the crew of the Thistle must have been drowned ; as it was, the Myrtle's boat was lowered and manned, and they succeeded after some time in finding three persons ; they still heard distant cries for help, when Commander Bourchier fortunately succeeded in lighting a blue light, by which they found the fourth person, one of the boat's crew, hanging on to the moorings of one of the vessels riding on the Lapwell, he having drifted a considerable distance with the tide and wind. All were taken on board tue Myrtle in a very exhausted state, and were some time before they sufficiently recovered their senses to make any statement of the accident. It appears that a sea broke into the boat and immediately swamped her. Capt. Englefield's company of Royal Artillery, now in garrison at Sheerness, are ordered to proceed to Malta for service in the Crimea, when required ; and not to Ceylon, as formerly reported. Her Majesty has been graciously pleased to grant a pension of 1001. a•year to Lieut.-Colonel Mauleverer, C. 8., of the 30th Regiment, for distinguished service at the siege of Sebastopol.

THE CONVICT BAN/MRS.—There is no foundation for the statement whioh has been going the round of the papers, that Strahan, Paul, and Bates, the bankers, were about to be sent to Gibraltar to suffer the sentence of the Criminal Court. Gibraltar is not by any means an easy station, but may be reckoned perhaps one of the most penal and hard-working, as well as being by far from the I most healthy. The convicts are now iu Newgate. They I will, in the first instance, suffer the usua l p eriod of separate confinement, which ' is, we believe, a year. After \ that they will probably be transported to a penal settle- I ment for the remainder of their sentence ; but no deei -1 Lion will be come to until after the customary probation of separate confinement.—Obaerver. LITRRArbili Minnesota and the Far West. By Laurence Oliphant. Blackwood. It lives pleasantly in our recollection how an English gentleman in the person of Mr. Beste con ducted us very recently along the track pursued by himself and his family down to the beautiful Wabash bottom in the recesses of Indiana. Au unfrequented " location" not far from the New Harmony, sacred to the memory of the socialistic day-dreamings of Robert Owen—immediately south of Lake Michigan, northward of Kentucky, and exactly mid-way between the states of Ohio and Illinois. Mr. Oliphant now in his turn carries us away with him at a tangent across the boundary line of Upper Canada, and away farther north and farther west than the lively and observant celebrant of the " Wabash," beyond lowa and Wisconsin, even to the innermost districts of " Minnesota." It appears a strange time to have chosen for a journey so far removed from the scene of the great struggle, raging at this most imminent juncture on the confines of ancient Europe and hoary Asia, between the armies on the one hand of barbarism and on the other of civilisation. Nevertheless, it may seem stranger still to find the author of this curious volume advancing a plea for the attention of all observant readers on the very score of its theme being so widely remote from the mighty interests concentrated within the frontiers of the Crimea, and until very recently almost exclusively confined to the immediate vicinity of that minute point of the Crimea occupied by the blood-stained ruins of Sebastopol. Howbeit, the writer is, after all, not so far wrong in surmising that "at a time when the greatest powers of Europe have combined to resist barbarian aggression, and public interest is concentrated upon the East, the rapid advance of civilisation in the West possesses claims upon our notice which are in danger of being over looked. To obviate which, so far as that may be at all practicable, these twenty-five chapters of Travel in America have been penned, and printed, and published. They are acceptable. Coming to us when or how they might, they could scarcely fail to be so under any circumstances—for, in asmuch as they aro the record of the notes jotted down from day to day by an intelligent wanderer like Laurence Oliphant, a vigilant wayfarer to whom English stay-at-homes are already so largely indebted for the insight afforded by him here into the state of affairs on " The Russian Shores of the Black Sea," there, into the actual condition of " Nepaul and the Nepaul ese." Erratic as ever he has shown himself to be, Mr. Oliphant threatens to take yet more eccentric flights hither and thither about this " terraqueous globe" or " orb terrene"—so that in time the trail left upon Mercator's Chart by his pencilled pere grinations may be more wildly zigzagged than the famous scrawl by which another Laurence (the Rev. Sterne to wit) indicated the episodical course I pursued by his excursive pen while inditing the meandered and circuitous narrative of " Tristram Shandy." Already Mr. Oliphant, as our readers have been herein reminded, has strayed along the mountainous province of Nopaul between—on the one side Thibet and on the other Delhi, Oudo and Behar : or, to indicate the geographical situation otherwise, between the broad line 3 scored upon the Asiatic continent by the currents of the Ganges and the Burhampooter. Presto! a flourish of Mr. Oliphant's pen ! a smack of his courier's whip ! and we are with him—no longer in Hindostan, but traversing slowly and watchfully the rocky coasts of the Muscovite possessions border ing the Euxine—looking in at Anapa, at Odessa, at Kherson, at Sebastopol. Another flourish of the goosequill, another crack of the magic thong, and hey ! we have leapt the Atlantic at a bound, and are careering far away into the interior of the vast American continent. This time we are neither in Nepaul, nor iu the Crimea—we are in Minnesota. The scene is neither Asiatic nor European—it is in the new world—we are crossing the great inland seas dividing Canada from the United States—we are piercing the green depths of the giant forests of America. Yet, lo I and behold 1 when we turn to the close of our author's preface, we find it dated neither from New York nor from Liverpool, neither from Quebec nor London—but, wonderful to tell, simply thus—" August, 1855, Constantinople !" For the brief and imperfect manner in which he ac knowledges he has here to his own thinking described the condition and prospects of the " Far West," Mr. Oliphant observes apologetically —" I have only to plead the more pressing inte rests which have since attracted me to another part of the world." So—while he is roving, maybe at this moment, in the footsteps of the great Anglo-French expedition against the legions of the Northern Autocracy—sauntering possibly among the smouldering embers of Sebastopol, or peering, perchance, among the violated museums of Kertch—we may here follow in imagination his recent progress from Toronto across Lake Simcoe, across Lake Huron, across Lake Superior, almost to the fountain-heads of the Mississippi, and thence float back along the flow of its ample current as far as the point where the boundary lines of lowa, Illinois, and Wisconsin may be said to concentrate, under the southernmost bend of the coast of Lake Michigan, over the channel connecting Lake St. Clair and Lake Erie, eastwards again. to the vi cinity of Lake Ontario to a spot about equi distant from Niagara and Buffalo. Such is a rapidly-sketched outline of the track taken by Mr. Oliphant in his wanderings in the Far West, and his ponderings about Minnesota. Rovings recounted, as we have remarked, in five-and-twenty chapters, those five-and-twenty chapters being grouped into three parts—the first part relating to Canada, the second to Lake Superior, the third (from which the work derives its title) to Minnesota. As a commentator upon, or censor of, things Cana dian, our author may be regarded as having been to a certain extent qualified by the official position among them occupied by him until very recently in his capacity as Civil Secretary and Superinten dent-General of Indian affairs in Canada. Whence may be traced at once the value and interest dif fused over his strictures upon Canadian Politics, Canadian Society, Canadian Statistics, Canadian Backwoods, and for that matter, too, upon the broad principle of Reciprocity, as well as through the course of his animated descriptions of a bark canoe voyage down the Severn, of a ride to the Indian village of Saugeen, and of the Annual Dis tribution of Indian Presents at Monitonlin. About the liveliest portion of Part Two—that relating to Lake Superior—is the account given of " Bed and Board in the Far West," as experienced by our writer in the remote state of Wisconsin. The concluding division of the work, being the one de dicated to a detailed description of Minnesota,: will charm alike the humorist and the lover of na ture, with its graphic pictures of scen:lism and number the inci dents, comprising Il ith such a Savannahs (wondered at of yore John Willett as fish-eyed wonder by old erica where the among their w and the Sauk the " Salwanners —ln d A L ni sk _ war is"), and the S ir St. Anthony, and the of an d the Head Waters of Rapids, and the passage, comic or cognised by t ß h l e u Bluffs, Mississippi. and the m F Prairies a a n l- y - a the readers of pictu resque,Black- will be re being,fact,nothing ll than more nor less, after all, a reprint in a collec tive' form (prettily embellished with sixteen wood—the volume before us in grace that series of under t o li f e modest title c l i e o z en woodcut contributions illustrations) of Notes on Canada, and the North-West States grace ful o f America," which appeared in the six numbers of m aga , ranging from last• April to last September. Thus re-issued in a substantial volume of upwards of 300 pages octavo, accompanied by a map, as well as by the already menti one d s i x teen engravings, and re - christened more epigrammatically and euphoniously by the name of Minnesota," this new book of travels by Laurence Oliphant, while it may Win for him many new admirers, will fail, among the old, in any way to deteriorate the ex trinsic interest or intrinsic worth of his reputation.
