SHOP-LlFTlNG.—Frederick Turner and Jane Turner. his wife, were placed at the bar, before Sir• Peter Laurie, in custody of Haydon and Brett, two City detective officers, charged with shop-lifting. Haydon stated that on Saturday evening he was in Ludgate-street, with Brett, when they noticed the male prisoner looking into Mes-rs.Willetts and Co.'s (drapers) shop window, and the female prisoner leaving the shop. She went up the street, followed by the tattle prisoner, and when at the corner of St. Paul's-churchyard she spoke to him. They then went round the north side of the churchyard, and stopped in front of Mr. Lockett's (late Nicholson) lace shop. The female prisoner went in and sat on the left hand side of the shop, the man walking up and down on the outside looking into the window. She came out of the shop, passed the man without speaking, and went round into Cheapside. The man, after remaining a short time, followed her, and joined her in St. Martin's-le-grand. The prisoners went into a public-house in Alderegate-street, and came out without having anything. He and Brett followed them into Goswell-street, and then they went lip to them and charged the female prisoner with having been into a shop in St. Paul's-churchyard. She denied it. A cab was called, into which they were placed, and driven to the station-house. The female prisoner, whilst in the cab, handed him a roll of ribbon, which she took from her dress. Brett deposed that he searched the male prisoner is the cab, and found in his hat a roll of ribbon. In his coat-pocket he found nine other pieces of ribbon, and two pairs of new stockings. The female assistant who served the female prisoner identified her as the person who came to their shop on Saturday night and asked to look at some ribbons. She said she was not particular as to style and quality. After the prisoner was gone she missed a piece of ribbon similar to that now produced. Sir Peter Laurie said he should send the case for trial, and cautioned such persons as the prisoners how they conducted themselves, for they might depend upon it it was impossible they could escape the vigilance of such excellent officers as the two detectives in this case. The prisoners, who declined saying anything, were committed. ROBBING AN EMPLOYER. —John Dear, formerly turn key of Newgate, and who has been once convicted, was charged with robbing his employer, Mr. Feast, (late Batty and Feast) the extensive oil and pickle merchant, carrying on business, 15 and 16, Finsbury-pavement. Pactlunan, one of the detectives, stated that, from in formation he received, he went to the prosecutor's ware house on Saturday, and saw Mr. Cooper, the mana ger ; from that he went to the prisoner's resi dence, and there found two gallons of vinegar, two gallons of olive oil, one gallon of ketchup, two china vases, two Etruscan vases, two pounds preserved salmon, and various other articles, identified by Mr. Feast as his property. He removed the property to the prosecutor's, and there saw the prisoner. He told him what he had found at his lodgings in Billiter-street, and that part of the articles had been identified by his employer as never having been sold. The prisoner said be could account for the possession of the articles, and on his way to the station-house he said be had been a fool in trying to serve other people, for how could he have got away so much property without some assistance. Mr. Feast stated that he employed 100 men, and he had reason to suspect the person who had assisted the prisoner in stealing the goods. Sir Peter Laurie asked Mr. Feast if he knew the pri soner had been previously convicted, and had been a turnkey in Newgate ? Mr. Feast said he was not aware of it till this morn ing. The prisoner had been his carman about six months, and be bad a character with him from two Australian merchants of Billiter-street, whose offices his wife was employed to clean. Sir Peter Laurie said it was extraordinary how a man like the prisoner could have so imposed on these parties. Springate, the gaoler, said the prisoner was for some years in the police force before he was turnkey of New gate. He was convicted and sentenced to 12 months' imprisonment for obtaining a sovereign under false pre tences. Sir Peter Laurie said the prisoner, finding he had no chance of escaping, was now desirous of confessing his guilt, and who was implicated with him, but he did not feel disposed to let him off so easily. He should com mit the prisoner for trial. No doubt Mr. Feast would be able to prove the guilt of the suspected parties without the evidence of the prisoner. The prisoner was committed. BOW-STREET. ROBBERY BY A CLERK.—This morning a very stylishly dressed mar, named Frederic Ralph Barren, was placed at the bar charged with stealing the sum of 1001., the property of Messrs. Woodhead and Co., James-street, Adelphi. From the evidence of Mr. Robert Young, one of the firm, it appeared that the prisoner was in their service as clerk, at a salary of 1501. per annum, up to the 20th of August, after which time he absented himself from the office, and sent a medical certificate stating that his bad state of health prevented his attendance. He had never returped up to the present time, and his continued absence had led to an examination of the books kept by the prisoner, as it was his duty to enter all the cash transactions of the firm. That examination had led to the discovery of a deficiency in the prisoner's accounts t 3 the amount of 1001., and it was further discovered that a cheque, whioh the bank-book tally showed had been drawn for 1971. 18s., had been entered by the pri soner in his books a 4 down only for 971. 18s. The solicitor said he did not wish to proceed with the case further to-day, ar.d therefore he applied for a remand. Mr. Jardine then ordered the prisoner to be remanded till this day week. An application was then made to admit the prisoner to bail, which the magistrate refused. LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.)

Nearly the whole of the country markets held on Satur day were very moderately supplied with wheat, which sold steadily, and pikes had an upward tendency. All spring corn and flour were very firm, and rather dearer. The latest accounts from New York state that flour was dull and cheaper. Most of the continental markets are excited, and prices are still advancing. Very moderate supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. The principal imports from abroad were 15,103 quarters of wheat, 18,477 barley, 51,41 G oats, 25 beans, 1,812 peas, and 4,512 sacks of flour. The a•rrivals of English wheat fresh up from market, to day, coastwise and by land carriage, were on a very mode rate scale, and chiefly composed of the new crop. The show of samples was small, and the demand for all kinds ruled brisk, at an advance in the quotations paid on Mon day last of from 2s to 3s per quarter, at which improve ment a good clearance was effected. The supply of foreign wheat was very moderate, and the trade ruled somewhat active, at 2s to 3s per quarter above the rates current on this day se'nnight. Floating cargoes were quite 2s dearer. Barley—the show of which was on the increase —ruled steady, at very full prices. Malt sold to a fair extent at extreme rates. Although the supply of foreign oats was large, the oat trade was tolerably firm, at last week's currency. Beans were in short supply and good request, at extreme rates. _ _ The sale for peas was rather active, and the quotations had an upward tendency. We had a good demand for flour, at fully 2s to 3s per sack more money. CURRENCY PEE IMPERIAL MEASURE.

Compared with last week, there was a considerable in crease in the supply of home•fed beasts. Although the attendance of butchers was tolerably good, the beef trade ruled very dull, at a decline in the quotations of fully 4d. per Blbs. The top figure for beef was 4s. 10d. per ins. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton- shire, we received 2,900 short horns; from other parts of England, 500 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 40 Scots. The supply of sheep was considerably in excess of Mon day last, consequently all kinds moved off heavily, at a fall in value of from 2d. to 4d. per 81bs. The lamb season is now over. The few lambs in the market were very dull, at 2d. to 4d. par 81bs. less money. Calves were in most supply, and fair request, at full quotations. There was a moderate business doing in pigs, at last week's currency. Per 81bs to sink the offals. s. d. s. d.I s. d. s d.

BOROUGH HOP. Picking is now becoming somewhat general, and the quantity of hops is very large ; hence the duty is called 300,0001. About 100 pockets have arrived, and sold at from 71. to 81. per cwt. Yearling and old hops are consi derably lower to purchase. BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS. Our markets are seasonably well supplied with all kinds of potatoes. The demand continues steady at full prices, viz., 50s to 75s per ton. We have no foreign imports to notice. WOOL. The supply of all kiwis of wool on offer is by no means extensive, yet the demand for all kinds is heavy, and the quotations are barely supported. Since our last the im ports have been under 200 bales. The following are the current rates of English wool : South Down flocks, is 0d to is 1d; mixed tegs and ewes, is ltd to is 3d ; half-bred hoggets, is 2Ad to is 3d ; do. ewes and wailers, is ld to is '2d ; Swinton fleeces, mixed, is id to is 10 ; Kent, fine, is LI to is 12d ; Lei cester fleeces, is 01d to is id; flannel wool, is Od to is 3d; blanket wool, 81L1 to is Oid per lb.

Doubly interesting, as the sole remaining civil edifice of its epoch in Paris, it has been made the receptacle of the collection of media,- val art commenced by the late M. Du Sommerard, and destined to form a museum of national antiquities. Ad joining the hotel are the remains of an ancient Roman frigadarium, suppo sed t o have been p art of the palace of the Caesars, and forming the only vestige of Roman Paris. The collection of mediaaval potter sculptuy ,reglass,, carvin and , iron, and gold and silver work, sainted windows, is extensive and valuable, and, to gether with the building itself, affords a fund of sugge tive matter for the student of tuedizeval Architectural _ detail.wr2746 Builder. RE. Poems. By Matthew Arnold. Second Edition. 1854. Longman and Co. Poems. By Matthew Arnold. Second Series. 1855. Longman and Co. It is something quite refreshing to meet for once in a way—as in the instance of Mr. Arnold—with a poet who can write both musicallyand coherently. Can ho not ? Read that exquisite poem of his — "The Church of Brou "—and answer. Answer, then, if here, at length, we have not one man, at least, who can chaunt forth strains of genuine poetry—no mere metrical fragments, scraps of graceful versification—but true poetry (such as it is), rising up like o. sound of sweet music throUgh all this hubbub of rhythmical rant, rhymed gib berish, vapouring mysticism, and conceited rhodo montade. It comes to us like a relief, a balm, an anodyne, a delicious assuagement. We drink in the unaccustomed melodies somewhat as Saul must have drunk in the dulcet tones trickling from the harp strings of the Hebrew shepherd—for (reverently be it said) the Son of Kish could hardly have been more maddened by his evil spirits than we have had reason to be goaded almost to the verge of insanity by the ravings and howlings of the mob of false-bards, irritating the patience, stunning the ears, and afflicting the intellects of this ill-fated generation. Almost the only really great poet living has but very recently capped the climax of this din of discords by the shrieks and babblings of that misera'ele Maud, who, as the " sheeted dead" once " squeaked and gibbered in the Roman streets" what time great Caesar fell — comes forth nowadays to mark, as it were, as by a dreadful portent, the downfall of the lofty and beautiful intellect of Alfred Tennyson. Ling since we had been compelled to listen with an in describable anguish to the croakings of Elizabeth Barrett Browning—one whose voice had erst been so ravishingly harmonious, but which seemed to have grown hoarse, and harsh, and guttural, and discordant, from long sitting in an uncomfortable draft at the Casa Guidi Windows, mooning over the heads of the rabble of Florence and maunder ing about impossible republics and impracticable confederations. Then, again, Robert Browning— the modern Bion who had espoused this our Eng lish Sappho—had he not himself already horrified our ima g ination through his dissonant " Christmas Eve and Easter Day," by singing us with a snuffling "song thro' the nose" into that detestable little conventicle, among the stifling crowd of which he gave us so hideous a glimpse of a very horrible wen tied up in a handkerchief ? After all which, have we not had quite an appalling surfeit of the Spas modics ? Have we not had tuneful aspirants thronging about our ears, who fancied they`could roar you like any sucking doves—fellows, howbeit, braying with more than the assinine bellow of goodman Bottom ? Each fresh-comer with his little, moonstruck following of votaries crying him up to the skies as though he were a new Tyrtmus —or as though in his hands the lyre were in those of a greater and a more gifted wizard of the chords than Timotheus ! One, by the sheer force, we pre sume, of a most poignant indignation has raved into being the inimitable satirist of these abortions of intellect—we mean the ingenious Mr. T. Percy Jones, the author of " Firmilian." Another has so ranted about the sun, and the moon, and the stars, and the comets, and the clouds, and the ocean, that he has whirled us, and himself, and the earth, and the heavens back again into chaos, so utter and irretrievable that before the close of his raging paroxysm of exceed ingly blank verse, he cries out, as with a cry of stark, staring lunacy— " God ! our souls are apron'd waiters !" Another is so dandled into premature fame, toge ther with his own Babe Christable by the nimious zeal of their critical forefathers, that he lifts up his voice in regard to the great Russian War, and that, too, in a tone so high and loud from over-confi dence in its compass and sonorousness, that it fairly cracks with the earliest utterance. Alas ! the idols are broken not only in the Temple of Baal, but also in some of the loftiest niches of the poetic Walhalla. The iconoclasts, moreover, strange to say, are the very men in whose honour these tawdry and shattered images were erected. The instruments of destruction employed are the iron pens with which they were to have engraven their names in ineffaceable characters upon the tablets of immortality. Wherefore, we repeat, it is absolutely refreshing to meet, in the person of Mr. Arnold, with one who can write verses which are, in some sort, at once both melodious and comprehensible. His elaborate explanatory preface to the first edi tion of his avowed " Poems"—a preface penned on the Ist of October, 1853, and dated Fox How, ArLbleside—indicated that he had from the outset appreciated the real nature of the evil infecting this the loftiest department of our litera ture—" The great vice of our intellect, manifesting itself," says he, "in our incredible vagaries, in letters, in art, in religion, in morals"—is, that " it wants sanity," that "it is fantastic." Adding signi ficantly and in admiring wonder, " Sanity—that is the great virtue of the ancient literature." It is the merit, let us observe at once, of these " Poems: By Matthew Arnold." If nothing else, they are, they must be allowed even by the most captious, to be at least sane, at least lucid, at least compre hensible. To us they are more. They are not only rational in their coherence, and in their all-per vading capability of being immediately understood upon the first perusal—theyare, besides this, full of passion and feeling, sometimes expressive of ex ceeding grace and tenderness, occasionally adorned with utterances of elevating and ennobling senti ments. " Sohrab and Rustum," the principal poem in the earlier volume, opens, it is true, with the intolerable affectation of a wholly unaccoun table conjunction— " And the first grey of morning filled the East," &c. Yet, forgetting that freak ofsyntax by an effort of good nature, and passing on to the context, the reader will find the simple grandeur of the narrative rising slowly, but appreciably, upon the recognition of his judgment as he advances, and when the climax of the tragic incident is attained, will assuredly (if he have any apprehension of what is most affecting or most beautiful) discover that with himself, hardly less than with the elder hero of the tale— " . . His soul sets to grief, as the vast tide Of the bright rocking ocean sets to shore At the full moon." Ferdousi had already celebrated the history . of " Sohrab and Rustum" in a poem—that poem had already been translated from the Orient original into French by Mohl—nevertheless, Mr. Ar nold was happily not in any way deterred by these circumstances from recounting the occurrence anew in our own language, impressed as he was with a profound sense of the wonderful pathos of the catastrophe. Beau tiful and noble though this poem undoubtedly is as a record of the death of Sohrab by the hand of his father, Rustum, it is considerably surpassed to our thinking by the minor poem already alluded to in these remarks of ours—" The Church of Brou"—a narrative in three parts, and in three different metres, descriptive of the " Castle," the " Church," and the " Tomb." In. the first— " Steeds are neighing, gallants glittering, Gay, her smiling lord to greet, From her mullion'd chamber casement Smiles the Duchess Marguerite." Her lord is killed soon afterwards in a boar-hunt ; and the Duchess awaits his return, in the castle hall, impatiently. " In the hall, with sconces blazing, Ladies waiting round her seat, Clothed in smiles, beneath the dais Sate the Duchess Marguerite." The hunters, after a pause in the outer court in the darkness — "Slowly entered with their Master; In the hall they laid him down , On his coat were leaves and blood-stains, On his brow an angry frown." Urns suddenly widowed, the Duchess Marguerite dedicates her life thenceforth to the building of The Church of Brou, in which when it is at length completed, her artists raise, at her bidding, a noble monument-- " On the tomb two forms they sculptured, Life like in the marble pale. One the Duke in helm and armour One the Duchess in her veil." Her widowed career is thus accomplished : " Round the tomb the carv'd stone fretwork Was at Eastertide put on. Thou the Duchess closed her labours And she died at the St. John." Such is part one, " The Castle," as c hady hinted 53 through these fragmentary quotabons.h Part two, 6d half a dozen Od " The Church," depicts in less than 193 stanzas the sequestered edifice in f 29 the seclusion and r y.

Enough has been given, we conceive, to justify nct only what we have said in praise of " The Church of Brou," but also, whatever has been remarked by us in commendation of Mr. Arnold as a young poet gifted with rare powers alike of judgment, of taste, and of imagination. His charming lay of "The Neckar," brief though it is, might be taken as of itself sufficiently corroborative. As might also with nearly equal truth be observed in re ference to his largcr but more unequal poem of " Tristram and Iseult," the subject of which ap pears to have been suggested by a passage in Dun top's " History of Fiction," but the music and the sweetness of which are all Mr. Arnold's own—a music not readily to be conjectured by those who do not happen to be familiar with the lovely recurrence of the interjectional refrain, after the broken apostrophe— " Iseult ! Ah, sweet angels, let him dream ! ! Keep his eyelids ! let him seem Not this fever wasted wig'nt Thin and palid before his time, But the brilliant youthful knight." And so on in like manner throughout. As to "The Strayed Reveller," a poem reprinted from an earlier and anonymous volume, that, although revised and considerably improved here and there, still con tinues to our thinking as it was once jestingly called by some wag of a carping critic, little better after all than ". stray driveller." Then, too, " Mycerinus," and " Philomela" " Cadmus and Harmonia," seem to us so fastidiously vague and classically correct as to be altogether without the pale of our sympathies and beyond the reach of our admiration. Not so " The Forsaken Merman," a fancy of singular pathos, and one coloured through out with a bewitching tenderness. " Consolation," and " The Future," and fragments of that kind are on the contrary to us little else than mere rythmi cal conceits, one of them (the first of the fugitive pieces headed " Switzerland,") having a refrain of unpleasant dampness— " Ere the parting kiss be dry, Quick, thy tablets, memory !" Incomprehensible, utterly incomprehensible to us has been the issue from the press by Mr. Arnold, of the thin little volume constituting the second series of his Poems—a volume as unworthy of his powers as well could be. Everything in the book from first to last, " Balder Dead," an episode in. three parts, i. " Sending," ii. " J ourney, ' and "Funeral," with this "The Sick King in Bokbara," and " The Harp Player of Etna" in four divisions, i." The Last Glen," ii. " Typho," iii. "Marsyas," and iv. " Apollo," besides a variety of others, broadly entitled "Revolutions," and " Excuse," and "De sire," and " Indifference," and " Resignation," and " Self-deception," and " Despondency," (subjects rather too broad, and ample, and indefinite to come within the scope of interest or the grasp of sympathy) —everything from first to last, in this volume of 1855, is calculated, we fear, rather to retard than to advance the poetic reputation of which we have here in our comments upon the volume of 1854 notified the brilliant and auspicious commence ment. The Art Journal for September maintains its well-earned reputation as au enlightened exponent and patron of art. The engravings, as usual, are executed in first-rate style, and the subjects have been selected with much discrimination. The larger illustrations comprise " The Vintage in the South of France," engraved by J. Outrim and L. Stocks, A.R.A., from a choice painting by T. Uwins, R.A., in the Vernon Gallery ; " The Dogana," Venice, engraved by J. B. Allen, from the well-known chef d'ceurrc of Canaletti ; " The Lamp of the Ganges," engraved by W..Roffe from the statue by H. Timbrell ; and " Silence," en graved by G. Levy from the picture by Caracci. The latter belongs to the Royal collection at Windsor ; while " The Lamp of the Ganges," a pleasing and elegant work of art, executed by com mission for her Majesty, now adorns the Royal drawing-room at Osborne. Among the minor en gravings will be found three spirited illustrations of a " British Artist," William Hilton, R.A., and a number of choice designs in various departments of art. The Paris Exhibition, as might be expected, is noticed at some length, and it is remarked that by the arrangement there adopted of the pictures and sculpture both are gainers, the one in richness, and the other in purity.

The Scotsman says the friends of Mr. Easton, the sur geon captured at ilango, and, in the first instance, sup posed to have been killed by the Russians, have received from him an account of the occurrence at Hango, which we give below. Dr Easton, in his private letter, dated " \Vladimir, August 5," says : _ " I left St. Petersburg on the afternoon of Saturday the 14th July, I think, escorted by a gendarme officer and two of his men, and travelled along the celebrated but most uninteresting road from St. Petersburg to Moscow, reaching the latter place on Tuesday afternoon, and leaving it at eleven o'clock p.m. We reached \Vladimir about noon next day, after a fatiguing journey of four days. " Here am I planted in the midst of Russia. The governor is very kind, and his lady speaks English most admirably, and uses it to promote my comfort and hap piness by every means possible. In truth, lam over whelmingly indebted to Lady Annenkoff for her unceas ing benefits, taking from exile most of its sting. I have good quarters and kindness from all I meet. What can I desire more, except liberty ? " \Vladimir is a very beautiful town, situated on a small river called the Kliasme, which waters the plain above which the town stands. It is choke full of pic turesque churches, very old and very noisy when their bells are clinking, which is pretty frequently. " I send you an account of what came under my knowledge at Haugo. I see from the St. Petersburg Journal very erroneous accounts have been published. " June 4 or 5 (I am not quite sure of the date.) —The Cossack anchored off Hang) for the purpose of setting at liberty several Finnish merchant captains taken pri soners in the Gulf of Finland. " On this service a cutter with eleven men, under the command of Lieutenant Geneste, accompanied by Mr. Sullivan, was ordered to proceed on shore, heisting a flag of truce (white flag.) " I, bearing there was a boat to be sent to the shore to land the prisoners, thought I might as well take ad vantage of the choice of a walk, however short. " Three stewards were sent into the boat to purchase, if allowed, milk, eggs, &c. "Being a medical man, I of course paid no attention • to any of the arrangements connected with the boat, so that I did not know there was any arms in her ; nor did I think it necessary to pay any attention as to flags, except that I sometimes called out to let the flag of truce be well seen. " The boat, bearing the white flag in her bows lashed h harbour land u to a boarding-pike, was pulled under the t_ele i g n r i as i, station, the sllalinlnldinveiadsph,oichatphtiamin, Lundstrom 1 dwihreieehtintghewtleielergertaophlaniedp.lanlendsidwee ftohnendpaoennitoloiff. with a wooden pier, which we went alongsideto "Lieutenant Geneste then gave orders . o the sailors not to leave the boat, but to put on the pier the luggage belonging to the prisoners. myself, he pier,the o three e thef te w a a r t d e s w , and taking prisoners, e t t n rho e me s twenexth "We had only taken a few steps when from all sides a fire was o pened on us.

I found that one of the stewards, wounded, and one of the sailors, unwounded, also one of the Finnish captains, had likewise taken shelter under the pier. The affair seemed to be over in an instant, there being no resistance on our part—i n fact no time for it. " After a short time, all being quiet, the Finnish cap tain left the pier, and shortly after returned with men from the village, when of course w e became p rison ers. " We were placed in waggons and taken to Ekenae, where to my great delight I found Geneste and Sulli van, with three of our men unwounded, and three others wounded.

CHINESE BARBERS.—The barbers in towns of China go about ringing bells to get customers. They carry with them a stool, a basin, a towel, and a pot containing fire. When any person calls them, they run to him, and planting their stool in a convenient place in the street, shave the head, clean the ears, dress the eyebrows, and brush the shoulders—all for the value of little more than a half-penny. They then ring the bell again, and start in pursuit of another customer. What would our E ng . lisp barbers say to this custom _ _ 30 25 20 all 71 I.i 471 I 78 80
