MONEY MARKET AND COHMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday closed heavily, and prices were in favour of the buyer. The sales were estimated at 5,000 bales, comprising, in addition to American, 180 Pernam and Maranham. at 61d. to Md., 100 Egyptian at The Railway 71d., and 300 Surat at 30. to sd. per lb. The Railway Share market continues dull, with a downward tendency in prices. Owing to the impression that Government in tends to increase the customs on imports, duty was paid in two days last week upon nearly 8 00,000 lbs. of tea, whereas 200,000 to 300,000 lbs. would be about an average quantity. There is a heavy trade in Mark-lane this morn ing, and prices are barely so high. The utmost interest is taken in the progress of the Limited Liability Bill, especially since some of the Monopolists have so strenuously opposed it. Cer tain manufacturers, knowing always where to bor row the means of carrying on a gigantic trade, are no doubt apprehensive of competition, but the ge neral advantage is alone to be studied, and capital will flow into new and far wider channels when the law is in operation. Persons of means Will have the opportunity likewise of get ting a higher return for their money, and the anomaly of cash going begging in the Stock Ex change and discount market at 14 per cent., as it Often does, when plenty of energetic and trust worthy men join for pecuniary resources, to extend their business, and could well afford 5 per cent., and give reasonable security, will be less frequent. The merchant ship New Great Britain has ar rived off Plymouth from Melbourne. She brings about 160,0004 in gold. The steamer America has on board also about 160,0001., and the rate of exchange on London at New York was firm at 109 i to 1104, which may lead us to expect further bullion remittances. Respecting the French loan, letters from Paris :lead to the conclusion that the excess of applica tions had been quite as large as has been stated, and that, consequently, a very large sum must be l °oked up in the Treasury. When the allotments are made, however, a good deal of this will return ' i nto general circulation, and serve to ease the money market, which has been tighter at Paris during the last few days solely from this cause ; • . , n Or is it likely there will be any unnecessary ' O V, as upon the last occasion the scrip was soon apportioned. The receipts of the French lines of railway still a large increase over those of the corre sponding period of 1854. The week's takings of ~, ko Northern are in excess by 26f. 4c. per kilo- Metre ; the Eastern by 21f. 2c. ; the Western and N orth-Eastern by 4f. 20c. ; the Lyons by 67f. ; the Mediterranean by 82f. Bc. ; the Orleans by 32f. ; and the Grand Central by 4f. 30c. Accounts from Riga state that the electric cora bilinication between that town and Dunaborg, half- W aY from the telegraph line between Petersburg Warsaw, has been completed. This will bring ,' l ga into direct communication with both the 41,1 r.ssian capitals. f I,l €l English and French Governments are still [,Pliting at Hamburg any large steamers they 9 1 obtai n , an d pay high rates. a I le English Stock Market is particularly quiet, t - 0 4 i i the quotations are very firm, while there appears the Elonle tendency towards money purchases again, e , Prices of Consols for transfer being 91 and 91k, aft Br °Pening at 901, For time the first bar s Were at 90/ and the dealing since has ee at 90i to 91- 1 .

The arrivals of English grai uu p to our market last week were very moderate.

The quantity of English wheat zac Jed fresh up to-day, coastwise, was very limited, especi 111 y from Kent. By land carriage the receipts were al as 11, and the show of samples was trifling. Owing to the favourable change in the weather for the growing crops, tale cheering advices at hand to-day respecting the gene ts.l appearance of the wheats, and the imports of foreig igrain, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produc 6 ruled heavy, and, in some instances prices were is per quarter lower than on Monday last. The supply of foreign wheat, fre sk as well as ex-granary, was rather large. All descriptions met a very dull inquiry, yet in the few sales effected last Monday's currency was mostly supported. We had a dull inquiry for f 1 ,2 sting cargoes of grain, which were rather lower to purchase. The total supply of barley was rs .therlitl.ge, and the trade ruled heavy, at prices rather in fal ,Tour of buyers. Malt was in moderate supply s 'And slu:rgish request, at last week's quotations.

The arrivals from Linco lnshire and Leices tershire amounted to 800 short horns, from Norfolk and Suffolk 900 Scots and home brads, from other parts of England 400 of various breeds, and :from Scotland 140 horned and polled Scots. The show of sheep was moderate as te nuniber, but very deficient in quality. Prime Downs and half-breds realised fall prices, with a steady demand. In other breeds only a limited business was doing, and, in some instances, the quotations were 2d per 81bs lower than ea this day. se'nnight. Lambs were in fair average suppl:r and sluggish request, and inferior breeds were rather chea par.

THE LATE DISTURBANCES IN _HYDE- INQUIRY INTO THE ALLEGED MISCONDUCT OF THE POLICE.-(THIS DAY.) The Commissioners took their scats this morning at 20 minutes past 11 o'clock. Mr. John Harforl, deputy treasisrer, of Bristol, was the first witness examined. He was in Hyde park, south of the Serpentine, on the Ist of July, about six o'clock in the evening. He saw a crowd of persOns round a man who was attempting to addr6s them. A body of police came up when they were received with hooting and yells, and stones and sticks were thrown at them. The man was taken into custody. Asimilar occurrence occurred shortly after, and that man was also taken into custody. He saw enough of the conduct of the crowd to excite the police to drive them back with their staves, or use any force they might think necessary. They did not do so, and he was much pleased at their forbearance. Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—His house and his mother's were burnt down during the Bristol riots. He was not easily alarmed at a crowd. He was induced to go to the Park, expecting to see a row there from what a policeman told him. He noticed a pale-looking police. man on a black horse use great forbearance. He did not notice much joking amongst the crowd. Mr. S. E. P. Lefroy, barrister, of the Northern cir cuit, was i❑ the park from o to 5 o'clock. He noticed three classes of persons : one thieves or vagabonds; an other respectably-dressed working men, clerks, and shoprnen ; and a third like himself, who were drawn there from curiosity. The first were riotously dis posed with a view to plunder, and the second to givean honest expression of disapprobation to the Sunday Trading Bill without personal violence. He saw carriages intercepted in the drive, and an attempt made by a boy of 14 years of age to upset one. (Laughter.) He ran in front of the home, flourished his cap, and struck him on the head. lie was cheered by many of the working men, and the vagabonds around him. He saw instances of respectably-dressed persons refusing to comply with the request of the police to move back from the railings. He saw no blows struck by the police, but he saw their truncheons flourished to induce the people to go back. After that the people were allowed to come forward again. The object of driving the people from the railings appeared to he to get rid of those who were in the front hooting. Ho thought the police acted with firmness and forbear. ance ; otherwise the disturbance would have led to the destruction of property and loss of life. He saw two mounted policemen pelted with small stones. They did not appear excited. Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—He noticed no ladies amongst the crowd. He did not see any peers there nor a learned judge walking with his daughter. The police came up slowly, on which the people rushed off speedily, and he had to take refuge behind a tree. He thought these rushes were made by some of the crowd, with a view to plunder. The resistance, in most instances, by the people, was passive. He saw one policeman push a man with his truncheon, who threw himself on his back. On further examination relative to how the man could throw himself on his back, he said it was on his side. He saw no policeman struck, nor auy act of violence done for the day. Mr. Edward Fitzharding Berkeley, of the 2d Life Guards, was in the park from a quarter to five till a quarter to seven o'clock walking along by the carriage drive. The crowd was very dense, and the police endea voured to prevent them assembling to be addressed by a speaker. The conduct of the crowd tended to annoy and provoke the police by " mobbing " them. He saw the police pelted with gravel and small clods of earth. They hooted at them. The police had not the slightest diffi culty in dispersing the crowd. He thought the conduct of the police excellent. Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—There was more hooting when the prisoners were conveyed along the drive in cabs than at other times. If he had received a stray blow he should not have complained at having placed himself in front of the people the police were en deavouring to disperse. There appeared to be a desire on the part of the people to commit a breach of the peace if they dared. He saw no ill-temper on the part of the police. He thought it was necessary the people should be charged. He saw Sir R. Mayne's notice, but did not read it through. Mr. William Hawes, of Montagu-place, Russell square. was in the Park on the Ist inst., and mixed with the crowd on both sides of the Drive. He saw stones thrown at the police, and a macadamised one struck him. The conduct of the two mounted policemen was such as it should be. There was no excitement on their part. The police appeared to be in exceedingly good temper. One sergeant showed him a blow he had re ceived on the hand. It was not safe to take a lady on foot along the Serpentine—if in a carriage at the risk of the horses being frightened. The crowd in the Drive was of a noisy description, and composed mostly of boys and young men. Cross-examined by Mr. Mitchell—He saw from 50 to 60 carriages in the drive of the usual description seen in Hyde-park. He saw no violence used, or great resist ance to the police. One man refused to go under the railings, when the' police took him up, threw him over, and he fell on the other side. The crowd was of a dif ferent character to that seen at elections. There was a difference in the conduct of the crowd on the green and in the drive ; the former were peaceable and or derly. There was a difference between this crowd and that on the Derby-day. The latter was fun and frolic—the former more than that. Mr. Charles M`Pherson, steward to Lord R. Grosve nor, was at his residence on the Ist, hearing there was to be gathering and a breakage of the windows. On the crowd assembling, the blinds were drawn down, and some of the shutters closed. The inmates, consisting of the establishment, were much alarmed at the yelling and hooting of the crowd. There were two or three police men in plain clothes in and out of the house. No damage was done on that day. Cross-examined—Lord R. Grosvenor was not in the house, but some of the ladies of the family were there. Wm. Ford, messenger to Lord R. Grosvenor, gave similar testimony to the above witness. Whilst fastening the area gate, about six o'clock in the evening, he was struck with a stone on the head, but not violently. He did not feel particularly alarmed. Things went on pretty quiet and regular in the house. Lady Grosvenor and two of the young ladies were in the house ; they were rather alarmed. After the mob was dispersed, about half-past six o'clock, Lady Grosvenor and the young ladies walked out. The carriage is never used on Sun days. The crowd assembled a little before six o'clock. Mr. John Hayworth, woollen draper, of St. Martin's lane, saw a lady pushed down by the crowd, and on a policeman going to her assistance the crowd cried " Shame !" and began to elbow him. The lady, he thought, was trampled on by the crowd. He saw pieces of hurdles thrown into the air in the direction of the police, who were apprehending a man. He noticed the crowd on one occasion annoying the police when they were clearing the place. The police used forbearance. He had never contracted to supply the police with goods. He was not a voluntary witness. Mr. Wm. Chas. Brown, straw-hat manufacturer, New Bond-street, was in the Park from four till half-past six o'clock. The conduct of the crowd was very discredit able and annoying to the police. Stones were thrown at them. The policemen acted very temperately. He saw one or two " half boys, half men" have a good box on the ears, but he saw no bloodshed. He saw several prisoners taken away in cabs, and he could say positively none of them had their skin broken. Bedford and BM:inlay Buelighamsh Clydesdale Jo Col. Stour Vy Sud. and Hal E.

Isaac Pinnock, sentenced to death at Northampton Assizes for the murder of a farmer near Kettering, has been reprieved. It is said that circumstances have transpired to shake the belief in his sanity entertained at the trial, and his life will consequently be spared. CIIILD MURDER.-At an inquest before the borough coroner of Liverpool, on Saturday, on the body of a newly-born male child, which had been found in an ash pit in a low part of the town, a verdict of wilful murder, against some person or persons unknown, was returned, death having been found to have resulted from suffoca tion, in consequence of a piece of coal having been forced down the infant's throat. s 4 Letters from the East Indies mention that Miss Cathe rine Hayes has departed from Calcutta for Australia, where her popularity is described as being almost with out a limit, and her gains beyond all precedent. DESTRUCTION or A FRENCH BRIG BT FlRE.—Advices received at Lloyd's on Saturday mention the total de struction by fire, on Thursday, off Dover, of the Jeune Louise (French brig), Lefieux, while on her voyage from Rouen to London, with a cargo of turpentine and oil. The crew were fortunately saved, and landed at Bou logne. IRISH EMIGRATION.—The number of emigrants who left Cork for the United States and the colonies, via Liverpool, during the past seven weeks, was 4;486 ; while in the corresponding period last year the number was 4,388, showing an increase of PS for the present year. EDUCATION.—The Committee of the Privy C ou ncil on Education have passed a minute whe reb y they extend to all parts (urban as well as r ural) of Great Britain, the minute of the 2d of April, 1853, for promoting voluntary assessments towards the exp ense of building schools in rural districts. A supplementary estimate for 15,0001. has been presented to the House of Commons to meet the increased expenditure. SPORTING NOT ES. GUESSES FO[ GOODWOOD. The programme c mtains thirty-three items, and pre sents a promise of sport which is likely to bo folly realised. For the leading Handicaps the field will, per haps, be numerically important, while the principal Two-year-old events are likely to attract many animals to the starting post. The only "short-comings" which will be displayed with respect to the number of com petitors will, perhaps, be with reference to the Good wood Stakes, and certain races for three and four-year olds. The betting has, down to the present time, been marked by little activity ; the paralysing effect produced on all turf speculation throughout the year by the war exercieing a peculiar influence on the meeting under notice. Still, the Stewards' Cup, which will be run for on Tuesday, is likely to occasion what sporting men call a good betting race. Sixty horses, of all ages, have been handicapped for it, and many have already been backed. The filly by Van Tromp out of Queen Mab and Cineas are the leading favourites. Goodwood is a popular meeting among our French Allies, who attend it in large numbers. Their interest will be repre sented for this event by Monarque, a horse bred iii France, and the winner of the P.-ix die Jockey Club (the French Derby) at Chantilly, in May last. For that event he beat Baroncino--the second fa• vourite for the Goodwood Cup —very easily by two lengths. In addition the Stewards' Cap will be decided on the opening day, the Ham Stakes, for which Fly-by-night, the first favourite for next year's Derby, is engaged. The 300 Sovs. Sweepstakes, which were won't to occasion such stirring encounters, will be:this year comparatively barren of interest. The most important items on Wednesday's list are the Goodwood Stakes and the Great North and South Biennial Stakes. On the former event speculation is almost at a stand still. Only three horses are now backed, Epaminondos, Quince, and Surgeon-General. The field for this event is not likely to comprise more than a dozen runners. A French mare, named Hervine, who has before run in England, has arrived in this country, it is said, to run for this stake. St. Hubert, the sometime first favourite for last year's Derby, but who broke down and was "scratched," will, it is ex pected, fulfil his engagement to-day. The " Cup" race will, in the opinion of sporting men, be confined to two horses. 0 niston, after a temporary depression, is again first favourite, Baroncino, another French-bred horse, being the only other really backed. Expectations are excited, however, that the starters will also comprise Rataplan, Muscovite, Neville, Andover, and Scherz, who are re ported under orders. The most prominent "features" on Friday's list are the Chesterfield Cup and the Nur sery Stakes. Such are the leading characteristics of the programme. I will now endeavour to determine the pro babilities and calculate the comparative chances. The 300 Sovs. Sweepstakes for four-year-olds, Queen's Plate course, seems likely to be reduced to a match be. tween Honeysuckle and Baalbec. Both animals have been saved and " bottled up" for it, the stake being worth at least about 2,0001. Honeysuckle will receive an allowance of fibs. for the difference of sex, but her owner will not in my opinion taste the sweets of success with her. Moderate, as he is, Ba; lb 'c I fancy will be able to gallop the longest. The Ham Stakes will, doubtless, be placed in the Fly-by-Night's list of achieve ' ments. Polmeodie will perhaps obtain the barren honours of second place. The Gratwicke Stakes may bring out Cavalier, Chalice, Paletot, Dirk Hatteraick, the Miss Whip filly, Ferrara, and Glenfiddich. Chalice will, doubtless, place this stake to her owner's ac count. Still, she would prefer a shorter distance, and Dirk Hatteraick may be capable of making a race with her. Should Voivode put in appearance for the Lavant Stakes, I shall be inclined to place some faith in his chance. If reports, however, have overrated his racing ability, I shall expect eith• Spindle or Pyrrha to carry the black jaoket and orange cap of Mr. Howard first to pass the chair. I The handicapper for the Stewards' Plate has cer tainly made a most lenient estimate of the Queen Mab filly's racing ability. If she had been merely a moderate three-years-old he could not well have placed a lighter impost upon her. Her weight will unquestionably render her formidable. Cineas, too, has not been harshly treated, and if ever he possessed a chance of winning a large stake he could not have bad a more favourable opportunity of fulfilling his owner's wishes than is afforded him on the present occasion. Still, despite the prominent positions to which these two animals have been advanced in the betting, there are others whose pretensions must not be overlooked. Among the top weights Orinoco, Dervish, and Comfort may be marked "dangerous ;" from the " middle weights" I shall select Strutaway, Rosaline, and Duke of Lancaster as being worthy of consideration ; and among the three-year-old. Daffodil and Sicily are entitled to notice. Whether Comfort or Sicily will represent Mr. Morris's interest I am of course unable to determine. My present partiality is, however, for the former. The lot which, in my opi. nion, is most likely to comprise the winner comprises Dervish, Comfort, Strutaway, Duke of Lancaster, and Daffodil. Opinions seem pretty well agreed respecting the nu merical insignificance of the field likely to contest the Goodwood Stakes. So far as the betting affords any criterion the race seems virtually confined to four or fire horses. I have so recently expressed the favourable opinion which I entertain of EPAMINONDAS, that I am spared the trouble of recapitulating the arguments which I adduced in support of it. To me he seems every inch a race horse, and among the comparatively moderate ani mals which he will encounter he can scarcely fail—how ever large the field—of getting home in the foremost flight of competitors. Ivan is another animal of proved racing merit, and although sinister reports are circulated respecting his staying qualities, yet I have sufficient faith in him, and in the skill and judgment of his trainer, not to regard his chance slightingly. SURGEON-GENE. RAL owes his position in the betting to his very light weight, and his reported favourable trials. It is said that he has been tried with Mishap three or four times at Est each, and that on each occasion he was successful. If this rumour be founded on truth—and I have no rea min to discredit it—the probability of seeing Mr. Stan ley's colours in the van is certainly very strong. Still I scarcely deem it possible to bring a good horse and a bad one together within the range of "racing weight and shall, therefore, allow my faith in Epaminondas to remain unshaken. After his temporary depression QUINCE has risen with increased force in the betting. Since his performances at Epsom and Northampton, his running has been so utterly bad that I have lost all con fidence in him, and do not expect that he will figure sufficiently forward in the race on Wednesday next to regain whatever good opinion I was once inclined to entertain of him. Some expectations have been ex cited about Kingstown and Ireland's Eye, but the absence of both these animals will not sur prise me. Robgill and Mortimer have been occa sionally mentioned with favour, but their chance of placing the stake at Mr. Parr's credit seems somewhat remote. I see nothing among the three-yr-olds division with a chance, unless indeed Mr. Drinkald surprise the ring agreeably with either KATERFELTO or LE FRIPON. On comparing the chances carefully, I have formed the deliberate opinion that the three most formidable competi tors will be Iv" EPAMINONDAS, and SURGEON-GENERAL —and were I inclined to stand on one alone, that one should be ---; 20 10 St. St. 20 St. 15 24 g.l IC St. St. 10 St. 20 '6O all 100 9 6 100 100 100 100 100 100 5 all all all St. 16., 5 St. 100 115 all 100 100 100 100 100 100 1.0. q Do.. 98 7 Pm Pm EPAMINONDAS. Should Oulston be brought out for the Drawing-room Stakes, Hazel, his only likely opponent, will experience some difficulty in catching him. The 300 Sovs. Sweep stakes for fillies may occasion an interesting race be tween Antoinette and Treachery, who will, perhaps, pass the post in the order in which I have set down their names. St. Hubert will doubtless achieve his first victory by winning the 300 Sovs. Sweepstakes for 3-yrs old colts. For the North and South Biennial Stakes I shall select Polmoodie, Rogerthorpe, and Bubble, to occupy the foremost places. The success of Oulston for the Cup seems a fore gone conclusion. Baroncino is certainly not capable of disputing it, even if the result of his trial with Hunger ford be carried. It is said that, according to his spin with the "old 'un," Hungerford could not win the Cup at 7st 121 b, and I really think he couldn't, if even Baron cino were out of the race. In Oulston I place undivided confidence. Muscovite, however, if " wanted," will doubtless run well, and Neville will be an opponent not to be despised. " Long shots " are taken about Rata plan, but I can place no hopes in their ultimate profit. To anticipate the Judge's decision, I should " place them " thus -0 ulsto n Neville Muscovite Voivode's running for the Molecomb Stakes will be o materially regulated by the result of the race for the Ham Stakes.

By Lord William Lennox. 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. There is nothing very original in this work either in plot or character, but a variety of amusing anec dotes are interpolated in the course of the Dana ! tive, and some interesting descriptions of scenery are given, especially in the part relating to Ame rica. The hero is a very wiled, careless, thoughtless Young man, who rushes after every scheme and ! pleasure he fancies, without considering its conse quence or result. After a very retired youth, passed in a lonely country house with his tutor, Philip Courtenay entered the army. Here his life soon changed, and after a very short time he mixed himself up in a quarrel with a very disagreeable person, and fought a duel in which he was vic torious. This circumstance soon made him popu lar in the regiment, for Lieut. Chudde was disliked for his own sake, and also for being the friend and ally of Major Prout, the terror and disgust of every one. After a short time the scene changes to America, and here the hero passed a most delightful time in exploring the wonder of the Northern States. A characteristic anecdote of American assurance is related in the description of the Falls of Niagara. An Italian traveller ex claimed with enthusiasm, " You have no delights in America that we have in Italy; we have there the beautiful sky, the exquisite landscape; we have there Vesuvius, that sends its fire to the heavens." The Yankee was very indignant at this. He turned to the Southerner, and with impatience replied, " Vesuvius Vesuvius, why, we've got a Ni agara, and that will put her out in less than five minutes." The most pleasing part of the story, is that which passes in the New W orld. After Courtenay's return, he essays to make himself famous in the sporting line, but all his efforts result in getting himself in possession of bad horses, which he sells at about a fourth of the price which he has purchased them for. He went to Ireland, after some time, and new misfortunes came upon him, for he ran away with the daughter of an Irish squire, thereby mor tally offending his parents, and after having sold his commission, and sacrificed his prospects forhersake, Kate O'Crokon ran away while he was on a visit to his father, who had at last relented. The partner of her flight was Walsinghani, who had known her before marriage, and whom Philip had very im prudently allowed to domesticate himself at their little cottage. After many stormy scenes, and several extraordinary adventures, the unfortunate Kate died ; and Philip, having renovated himself by foreign travel, returned to his friends. He met Ellen Ramsay, the daughter of an old friend of his father's, to whom he had been attached in early life, and who he had been erroneously informed was married while lie was in America. He was delighted to find out his mistake, and Ellen having never changed in her feelings since they had parted, Courtenay was again induced to enter into matri monial engagements. The conclusion leaves them happy, which, considering the very imprudent course of the hero, is a consummation he had hardly a right to expect. Evelyn, Lascelles. Edited by Julia Addison, author of " The Curate of Wildmere," 47,e. 3 vols. Newby. _ . This is a clever and interesting work, and displays considerable ability in its author. it is the auto biography of a young girl gifted with great powers of mind, joined to a gentle and f em i n i ne di spos i tion, and recounts the lights and shadows that chequered her course in life. Her great ambition was to be a successful authoress, which hope was realised, though at the expense of another, which h a d be come still dearer. Her literary adventures, how ever, occupy but a small part of the story, although they exercise a powerful influence on her destiny. She is engaged to a Mr. Devereux, to whom she is deeply attached, though he is of a haughty and gloomy disposition, and has an imperious and ex acting temper. He had killed a friend in a duel, through a misunderstanding which was explained. too late, and remorse for this had rendered him miserable. Added to this, his natural suspicion and jealousy were increased by the treachery of his early love, Lady Clara, who, a short time be fore the period fixed for their marriage, was mar ried to another—one who had been an early friend. of Devereux's, though unaware of his engagement. It was this friend whom he killed, and, after this double misfortune, he became gloomy and unsocial, taking no part in the duties and pleasures of life until ho met Evelyn Lascelles, whose original and attractive character soon awoke his interest. But his devotion to her did not make him less jealous and exacting. He had a strong aversion to literary women, and Evelyn, knowing this prejudice, did. not tell him of her favourite pursuits till one day,, when he was admiring a new work, she told him she was the author. His conduct is hardly natural. Had he really loved Evelyn as deeply as we are told it is difficult to believe he would have ad dressed her in such terms. Their engagement is broken off, but, we are sorry to say, by him. Had. Evelyn possessed proper spirit and self-respect. she would never have given him the opportunity of waiting some days, and then calmly informing her that they must take "an eternal farewell." The heroine does not enlist our sympathies in this case ; she is too gentle and yielding. However, Mr. Devereux excites them still less, for his con duct is simply ridiculous. He is subsequently married to Lady Clara Arundel, who did not know he was the cause of her husband's death. He is induced to do this by a promise he had made to the dying man, and her sudden loss of fortune ; but if he did so with the idea of reparation he quite failed, for he makes her wretched by his coldnessand tyranny. Through the influence of Evelyn they are at length reconciled and are happy, though but for a short time. Devereux's sudden death puts an end to their happiness, and closes a life in which with great talents and opportunities, deep feelings and a singular faculty of winning affection, he con trived to make himself and every one round him wretched. Evelyn, meanwhile, has rejected the affection of one far superior to Devereux. We are given to understand, however, at the end that they are eventually married. This is the mere outline of the story. There are numerous other characters and incidents. The interest is well sustained throughout, and the style is lively and agreeable, though in some places rather abrupt. The conclu sion is rather confused, and throughout the work there are two many narrow escapes from death, and of attacks of violent illness, &c. The authoress need not descend to such manoeuvres to render her works exciting, as she is quite capable of arousing the reader's interest without them. Some of the ideas are original and striking, and the story will prove an acquisition to readers of fiction. The National Review.—The first number of a new and not unpromising aspirant for popular favour. " Administrative Reform "is the subject selected for the opening article, the writer under taking to point out what is " just and unjust in the popular discontent."
