MONEY MARKET AND CO3=,CIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed tamely, without change in the currency of last week. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales, (1,000 for export), comprising 100 Pernam and Maranham, at 6d. to 6d.; 100 Bahia, 6d. to ; 300 Egyptian, 51d. to bid. 1,500 Surat, 3id. to 40. ; and 70 Sea Islands, 10d. to 17d. per lb. The Railway Share Market was quiet, at a slight decline from Tuesday's quotations. Accounts from Paris represent the state of affairs on the Bourse as unfavourable, with a downward movement in the Rentes of 10 centimes in the 3 per Cents. for the close of the month and the December account, and 25c. to 30c. for the 4i Stock. Bank of France shares are without variation at 3,190, and also Credit Foncier at 510. Treasury Bonds have been negotiated at 5 per cent. for five months. In railway shares there is a decline generally, but they are in demand. Nothing of importance is contained in the re ports from the foreign grain markets. Throughout Belgium wheat maintained its price at 22 florins the hectolitre and a half, and the rye was sold at 16 florins the hectolitre. The Brussels grain mar ket showed that little business was doing. The Paris flour market was more active, and a fair average maintained in prices. The factors declared to the sale of 2,043 sacks. Wheat was quoted at nominal prices, in anticipation of Thursday's market. The commercial advices from India do not re port any movement of consequence, the import markets, both at Calcutta and Bombay, bein g still inactive. Money was comparatively easy, and the arrivals of merchandise were moderate. When the approaching native holidays were over, an increased demand was expected. Iu the upper provinces, sales of most articles had been made to a moderate extent. At Bombay, grey goods and yarns were taken rather freely, owing to the small quantity which had been imported some time previously. The Indian mail brings advices from Ceylon to the 15th October. The Arabian, from Melbourne, had arrived with intelligence up to the 10th Sep tember, from which we learn that the Donald M'Kay mail packet from Liverpool, with the Lon don mail on board, arrived there on the 26th Aug., having made the run out in eighty-two days. The coffee plantations throughout Ceylon were progress ing favourably, and this season was expected to yield a more abundant crop than during the two previous years. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this date, are in round figures as under 1855. £23,925 18M. £21,085 Great Western oouth-Western 13,148 11,978 North-Western Brighton Midland South-Eastern Caledonian Great Northern Lancashire and Yorkshire North-Eastern 56,126 12,626 28,792 17,963 11,673 23,257 20,443 29,853 52,621 13,179 28,130 15,920 11,536 23,062 19,640 30,759 Eribtol and Exeter Manchester and Sheffield Edinburgh and Glasgow Aberdeen and Scottish Midland 5,927 9,077 5,105 3,150 5,646 9,050 4,920 2,858 The weekly meeting of the Bulk of England Directors has separated without adopting any of the measures which were rumoured yesterday. There is an extremely inactive market for public securities, but their quotations are fairly supported. Consols for money have been 88 to 88k, and for account 88A I, but they have since been 881 I. Ex chequer Bills are 7s. to 4s. discount, and India Bonds 7s. discount. The New 3 per Cents. have been 8711 to 88, and the Reduced 87 to 87k. India Stock is 226. In reply to an inquiry by Mr. Webb, the secre tary of the Stock Exchange, it has been elicited that, in the opinion of the Board of Inland Reve nue, no deduction for income tax should take place in the dividends on the Turkish 4 per Cent. Loan, guaranteed by England and France, where the bo ads are proved to belong to foreigners residing abi .oad. 1 Foreign Securities are generally quiet, but ratl ier heavy.

This is "ticket day" in the Railway Share Market, and the preliminaries for the adjustment of the account have been in progress. The " Con tangos" a re, in several cases, heavy. Most of the principal lines are higher, but the general business is of a lii uited character. There are very few trans actions ii a, the Foreign Market. St. Jo.hn Del Rey Shares have risen 10s. to it., but the Lenares are weaker. Union of London Bank Sl] ares are rather lower. Amsterdam are down 1/. Crystal Palace Shares ruled steady.

FATAL ACCIDENT AT PllTNlET.—Yesterday morning an accident, which was unfortunately attended with fatal oonsequenoes, occurred to a middle•aged man of the name of George Laurance, a plasterer , residi ng a t Put ney, under the following circumstances :—lt appears that the poor fellow WS4 employed on a scaffold in front of a new building now in course of erection at Putney, when his attention being called to a man below h e on . of 40 "to 50 un fortunately lost his footing, and fell a depth feet. Da his fall he struck against the "putlocks,atid bounding from one to the other recei ved very severe in juries. He was at once picked up and . taken to St. George's Hospital, where it was aqcertamed by Mr. Phipps, the house surgeon, that the poor man's spine was broken. Every attention was paid him, but he ex pired shortly after his admission. The body no w awaits a coroner's inquest. BANE or ENGLAND.—The fact of the Governors of the Bank of England having had an interview yesterday with the Chancellor of the Exchequer in Downing-street has been followed by a rumour that the Government have intimated an intention to authorise the Bank to increase the notes they are allowed to issue on secu rities beyond the present total of 14,000,0001. The impression is, that the interview was for the pir pose of conferring on the financial requirements of the Government during the next few months, and that, if anything passed regarding the general amount of the circulation, it was confined to an & intimation that the Government, whenever it may be thought desirable, will be ready to take the subject i n t o con sideration. At the sa me time, it is not improbable that the desirableness of making up the deficiency in the country circulation which has taken place owing to the failure or retire ment of individual banks, has at length been entertained. The total of that deficiency is about 700,0001., and by the fifth clause of the act of 1844 the Government are empowered, on application being made to them by the Bank of England, to order th i e ssue of additional notes to the extent of two-thirds of the amount, the profits of which issue are to go to the State. The increase which could be made would, therefore, be about 470,000/. Mt. SHARE M (THIS RAIL 114Evw./u Ambg. Nottug. 13t ac. and Eastn. Junet.. Balfast Binning. Wolve rh Stour Vail y Birk o _dad.

GARDINER. ••• ••••• ••• 128 - 132 Mr. Pashley, Q.C., in this case, moved for a rule calling► on the defendant, an attorney, residing near Bowness, in Westmoreland, to show cause why a crimi nal information should not be filed against bim for a libel reflecting on the character of the rev. gentleman in the discharge of his sacred duties at a funeral. The Rev. Mr. Wilkinson was curate of Lootan Pag,nell, near Don caster, and at the time of the publication of the letter in question was stipendiary curate of Bowness, near West moreland, and it was with reference to the burial of the body of a female that bad been drowned in lake Win dermere, that the libel in question arose, being in the shape of a letter, published in July last, in the Carlisle Patriot, bearing the signature of " Viator," in which the writer charges the rev. gentleman with a total disregard of his sacred duties at the funeral of the drowned person. The learned counsel then read the following setter, con taining the libel in question :-- Do Gt. Tv earn Yk. New. & Berw. Y. &N M Do 103 - 105 S. Easter! Do 12i -- 13 115 -- 120 Peto & Co.

" Sir,—l read in your last Friday's paper en account of the drowning of a poor girl named Lucy Warriner, in the Windermere lake, and of the inquest held on her body, when the verdict was returned found drowned. Of course this may be considered as an open verdict and there is no doubt that the poor girl was the cause of her own death. But would you believe it, or could the revolting idea ever enter any person's head to ima gine ; but, nevertheless, it is true. When the funeral took place and the coffin of poor Lucy was brought alongside the grave, the stipendiary curate refused to proceed with the service until the position of the coffin was reversed and the head of the corpse instead of the feet turned to the east. The parish clerk, who is also the sexton, had to procure a hack and a spade and alter the shape of the grave, while the sorrowing and ago nising relations of the deceased (who belong to the class of `statesmen') stood by absorbed in grief and astonish ment,and the rev.Puseyite (altered by the editor to `gentle man') waited until the hateful (altered to ' painful') task was finished to his satisfaction before he would pro ceed with the funeral ceremony. I leave your readers to judge and continent upon the specimen and unchari tableness and bigotry.—Your obedient servant, "July 3, 1855." " MAYOR. . .

It was also sworn that the rev. gentleman did not perform the service, at this time having an assis tant, also that the sexton was absent, and the church warden performing his duty for him. The affidavits of the churchwarden, of that of a byestander, and also that of the stepfather of the unfortunate girl, stated that the funeral service was performed without any interruption, and in the usual manner. The court granted the rule. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. GREGORY V. COTTERELL AND ANOTHER-JUDGMENT. This was a writ of error from the Court of Queen's Bench, and was fully argued on Tuesday, and reported in Me Sun. The plaintiff was formerly member for Dublin, residing in Park-street, and had an execution put on his premises at the suit of a Parliamentary agent named Baker. The plaintiff paid out the execution at the office of Jones, a sheriff's officer, to a person named Lewis, who levied under the writ. The money did not reach the defendant or the sheriffs, and in conse quence a second seizure was made, which led to an action for damages, tried before Lord Campbell, the jury awarding 4001. damages. An exception was taken to his lordship's ruling, and on arguing the case before the Court of Queen's Bench the ruling of his lordship was confirmed. The question for consideration was whether the. Sheriffs were bound by the acts of Lewis, the agent of Jones. Chief Justice Jervis said the Court bad fully con sidered the question, and were unanimous in their opinion. The Court considered the damages were large, and re gretted the jury had not attended to the caution of Lord Campbell, and ab,tained from giving damages in an ex aggerated form. Originally there were three propositions before the Court for their consideration. One had been withdrawn by the amendment of the record, and the two remaining were, first, were the Sheriffs liable as to the trespass for the seizure and levy made by Lewis, the follower of Jones, and if so, had that been made out ? and, secondly, was the payment made by the plaintiff at the office of Jones, in his ab sence, a satisfaction of such seizure and levy, and such as to prevent the defendan's from pleading the second warrant as a justification for what they had done? The Court were unanimously of opinion that the judgment of the Court below was correct and must be confirmed. Judgment confirmed accordingly. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) SOIJTHWARK. MURDEROUS ASSAULT.—Edward Gray, a tall power ful•looking man, was brought before Mr. A'Beckett, charged with committing a murderous assault on Mar garet Clack, by striking her on the head with a poker. The complainant, a young female, whose head was covered with adhesive plaster and bandaged up, stated that she was unfortunate, and last night about 12 o'clock she met the prisoner in the Borough, and he took her into a public-house to treat her. After remaining there a short time be accompanied her to her lodgings in Tiverton-street, Newington-causeway, when he proposed to remain with her for the night, at the same time giving her half-a-crown. She told him that it was not sufficient, and quietly demanded another shilling. The prisoner made use of an oath and refused to give her more, and if she did not return him the half-crosvd he would mur der her. She told him that he had given her the half crown and should not return it, when he seized up the poker and struck her a violent blow ou the top of the head with it. She burst from the room calling out "murder," when her landlady came to her assistance and prevented him striking her again. She was conveyed to the hospital where her wound was dressed, and the prisoner was given into custody. The landlady of the house said she beard the prisoner makinga noiseabout a shilling which the prosecutrix was asking him for. He then demanded a half-crown to be returned to him, and then a blow was struck. Imme• diately afterwards the complainant screamed "murder and rushed out of the room, with blood flowing copiously from her head. She told witness he had struck her with a poker, when she sent for a constable and gave him into custody. Police-constable 235 M said he was called to take the prisoner into custody, and having ascertained that he had struck the female on the head with a poker, he con veyed her to the hospital, where the wound wag dressed. Witness produced the poker, which was partially bent and covered with blood. In answtsr to the charge, the prisoner said the female robbed him of the half-crown, and because she would not return it hire he pushed her, and, being dark, she fell down and hurt herself. He never touched the poker. The witnesses all denied that the female was drunk, and the latter said she bad not robbed him. Mr. A'Beckett remanded him until Monday, to enable her to indict him at the sessions for cutting and wounding. MINES. 1 all j.igua Fria ..,.... ... 1 1 all Anglo Austrin.

L A loss of six lives has been reported at Lloyd's by the Dutch steamer Stadt Dordrecht, Capt. Stuit, which has arrived in the river from Dordt. The steamer left the Pool on her usual return voyage on the evening of the 7th inst. On the following morning, between two and three o'clock, she was pursuing her course to the west ward of the Kentish Knocks the weather being some what misty and dark, when a fishing lugger was observed a short distance ahead. The helm was shifted in the hope of clearing her, but unfortunately her stein caught the lugger and she was run down. As quickly as pos sible the steamer brought up and put back, and it was discovered that the vessel bad sunk, but that the crew, eight in all, floated on the nets which had got entangled with the broken mast, which assisted in their buoy ancy. The crew of the steamer endeavoured to rescue the fishermen by throwing them ropes and oars ; the darkness of the morning, however, and the sea which was running, with other circum stances, greatly frustrated the attempts to save all their lives. After some difficulty the master (William Heather) and one of the men (Richard Wells), succeeded in laying bold of the ropes, and in an ex hausted condition were dragged on board the steamer, which continued to cruise about the spot for some time in the hopes of picking up the others. Their cries, how t. - ever, gradually died away, and the poor creatures, six in all, perished. Their names were—Alfred Heather and George Heather, brothers of the master; William Bol ton, who has left a widow and large family ; B en j am i n Wheeler • a young man na me d Ball , and an apprentice.. The smack was then ascertaiced to be the Ocean Queen,' of Worthing. At the time of the occurrence the meni were in the act of taking in their nets ; 10,000 fish were: already on board, and there were five nets remaining to, be got in. To add to the loss, there was some cash o a board the lugger. The survivors received every kind - ness on board the steamer, and were taken on to Dordty where they made a statement of the catastrophe to . the authorities. None of the bodies have yet been pick ed ' up. ;VINT EXIIIBITION Or PICTURE''. On Saturday afternoon we had the satisfaction of attending the Winter Exhibition annually held at tl:e Gallery, 121, Pail-mall Fast, or as they would have described it in the old fogefied times— ‘' over ag:tinst," the Olera Colonnade. An exhibi tion this is, as its frequenters very well know, of the most chequered and diversified character. It includes, besides oil paintings, water-colour draw ings and engravings—specimens of sculpture, and this season, beyond all other attractions, "A com plete Set" of Lithographs, Etchings, Line-engrav ings; and Mezzotintos "of and by" Sir Edwin Landseer, the most popular, as he is also in his own peculiar department one of the most illustrious, of our Academicians. This solitary division of the Catalogue extends, of itself, to the extraordinary number of 278 altogether : very little short of three hundred engravings —line, etching, litho graph, and mezzotinto "of or by" a single great-master ! How many old favourites there are, of course —be sure of that among these exquisite and varied examples of the genius of our eminent animal-painter. "High Life" and "Low Life" (12 and 13)—the beautiful hound among tapestry and fragments of old armour, and the vul gar cur with its congenial accessories of the clay pipe and the pewter measure ! " Cat's paw" (130), with its visible concert of flit !-spit 1-miaou ! ! ! " The Travelled Monkey" (141), with it s leathern little visage wizened up into so many complacent wrinkles of superiority over the broad mass of his fellow-apes and co-baboons ! " Napoleon's Eagle" (15.)), with the shadow of the hero's face shining out sadly against the descending sun, typical of so much glory passed away ! "—A Rat ! A Rat ! Dead for a Ducat ! Dead." (230), with that little wiry rapscallion of a dog trembling, quivering, bristling with expectancy "Alexander and Diogenes" (235)—the canine cynic and the canine Lord of his Race " Peace" and " War" (237 and 238), those wonder ful idealisations of an exquisite and ghastly contrast—the smoke, and flame, and blood, and agony of the one picture—the serenity and sweet ness, the sunshine and repose of the other, with the sheep and lambs browsing on the heathery down, hard by the rusty cannon, with the cobweb spun across its unused muzzle ! " Tho Highland Drovers departing for the South " (239), with its charming groups of pastoral life in Caledonia—and the famous " Return from Hawking " (243), in which the artist, under the semblance of a glimpse into the "olden time," has preserved for after times the forms and features of the various members of the comely family of the present accomplished Earl of Ellesmere. "No Place like Home" (251) — changing a miserable kennel into a sanctuary of rest oy the mere magic of a sentiment borrowed from the sweetest of the sweet songs of poor, dead Sir Henry Bishop ! " Dignity and Impudence" (26(i) —such au incongruous pair, the little yelpin g puppet of a pup, cheek by jowl with the grand old, sober mastiff I "The Stag at Bay "—with its erected antlers, tearful eyes, and distended nostrils; and " Eos " (278), limber and elegant, H.R.H. the Prince Consort's favourite greyhound. Mingled with these and other hardly less celebrated engrav ings "of and by " the great master—imagine the interest of etchings such as " Heads of Sheep and Cattle " (29), etched by Sir E. Landseer when eight years of age ; " Donkeys" (30), etched by Sir E. Landseer when nine years of age; "Cow and Calf" (35), etched by Sir E. Landseer when ten years of age, and so forth ! The collection from first to last is, to say the least of it, wonderfully interesting. Among the oil pictures ranged along the walls of the Winter Exhibition are several which will, of course, be at once recognised. F. Geo lan's masterly " Raising of the Maypole" (342), and James Thos. Linnell's magical "Evening " (353), the latter with those delicious ruddy dies of the sunset glowing in among the countless twigs and innumerable green leaves of the woody coppice, down in the twilight hollow, replete with its mysterious effects of light-and-shadow. James Sant's " Early Morn " (370)—" It is the Lark, the Herald of the Morn," full of beauty, poetry, and fresh ness • A. Solomon's "The Sailor Boy's Return" (371), with its almost audibly-told story of love and adventure ; Clarkson Stanfield's " Entrance to the Zuyder Zee " (376), with its wondrous confu sion of dancing waves and Dutch-coast scenery ; Frank Stone's charming illustration to one of Moore's Melodies (378)—a1l are things to be seen, not merely heard of, and when seen to be mused over in admiration. Mrs. S. Anderson, in (301) "My Last Sentry-Box," portrays an old red-coated Chelsea pensioner in the snuggest little garden smoking-box imaginable —a very nest of greenery While T. Jones Barker, in a spirited commemora tion of the glorious but deplorable " Charge of the L;glit Cavalry" (307), has shown to all comers that portion of the Great Charge in which its leader, "the belted Earl of the nineteenth century," the heroic Cardigan, acted the poetry afterwards written in such congenially impassioned numbers by Alfred Tennyson, when the Laureate sang : " Flash'd all their sabres bare, Flash'd all at once in air, Sabreing the gunners there, Charging an army, while All the world wonder'd : Plunged in the battery-smoke, Fiercely the line they broke ; Strong was the sabre-stroke : Making an army reel Shaken and sunder'd. Then they rode bick, but not— Not the six hundred." Verses so noble and beautiful all of them, except ing only in as far as relates to that horrid Cockney rhyme to " sunder'd." and " wonder'd" of—ugh ! it makes one shudder—" hun-derd !" A passing reference at least must be made by us to J. Mor gan's ingenious picture, " A Royal Game of Chess —Scene in the Tuileries" (359), in which the ima ginary antagonists aro the Czar and our own Monarch—the Emperors of France and Austria being among the number of the lookers-on ! A select collection of Water Colour Drawings by artists such as Frederick Tayler and W. Topham, and Mrs. M. Harrison—the last-mentioned flowerinc , over with moss roses, lilacs, primroses, and convor voluses—with four " Marbles " by Alex. Munro, complete the catalogue for this season of pictures of the English School collected together in the an nual Winter Exhibition. TRIALS OF FIRE ENGINES IN FRANC E. A trial of twenty-three fire-engines, in the Paris Uni versal Exhibition, took place on the banks of the Seine, between the Pont d'Alma and the Pont de I'Ecole Mili taire, in the presence of his Imperial Highness Prince Napoleon, accompanied by the Secretary of the Impe rial Commission. These trials were, if possible, worse managed than those of the English Exhibition of 1851, the absurd and ineffectual attempt to systematise the ex periments on that occasion being entirely omitted in Paris. . _ _ Little account was taken, in the French experi ments, of the various elements upon which superiority must necessarily depend. Even the distance to which the water was projected was only ascertained by stepping, no accurate measurements being taken. The exposed and shelving bank of the river was but ill adapted for the trial, and a maliciously high wind blowing at the time sadly marred the fair proportions of the perform ance, the best engines being necessarily the greatest sufferers. The engines were worked by a party of Sapeur Pompiers, who exerted themselves in a very creditable manner. The first engine tried, and, as the result proved, the first also in merit, was a London Brigade Fire Engine, named " The Emperor," on the patent principle, manu factured and exhibited by Mr. Merryweatber, of Long acre, London. This engine bad two 7-inch pumps, with metal valves in separate valve chambers and spherical air -vessel, the suction pipe being 3 inches, and the de livery 21r inches in diameter. Worked by 26 me7r2: threw a three-fourth inch jet upwards of 120 feet, and un it i. elegant appearance and general perfermance g ave venial satisfaction.

A pretty ship fire-englu , Merryweather, could not be tried, in consequence of the having been lost.

Mr. Lemoin e , o f C anada, was also an exhibitor at Paris, and his engine worked well ; but, like that of Mr. Perry, required too many men to work it. g. Letestu, of Paris, exhibited several excellent en gines, but none of any great power. Considerable efforts were made to establish a superiority on behalf of M. Letestu's engines, and the Moniteur went so far as to assert that the French engines beat the Canadian and English ; " whereas," says the Times' correspondent, " the fact is that its performance was the worst of the three." The fire-engines of M. Letestu attracted much notice in the Exhibition of 1851, and a prize medal was awarded him, but the performances were i ot equal to those of the few English engines that were then tried. The perforated plate valve of M. Letestu has lately been i introduc e d, w ith m u c h advantage, into the Englishse steam fire-engines. M. Fland's fire-engines d in Paris) gave much satisfaction ; but the pipe, with its right-angled sharp turning s, g metal s: is ob jectionable. Several German engi nes their performances were very med iocre. (u se d in but Y .. SHRMVSBURY RASES.—(This Day.) (BY ELECTRIC TF,LEGRAPII.) HANDICAP PLATE. Octavia Timotheus Five ran.

We believe the unea4pess occasioned to the Govern ment by the reports from Vienna and Constantinople, as to the proceedings of the Austrian army in the Danu bian Provinces, has recently been much aggravated by the occurrence of anticipated events, but especially by the communieation of some extraordinary information from non-official quarters. We believe the facts now in their possession, ought to leave no doubt on the minds of Ministers as to the real character in which that per fidious, but feeble Power, called an Empire—and for whose alliance the Western Powers have sacrificed so much—contrived to introduce an army into those un happy provinces. His Grace the Duke of Newcastle, among others, has lately conveyed his views to his former colleagues, in no mistaken language. We understand that in a lengthy and important communication, to which he was prompted by the result of his observation and in quiries in the East, his Grace not only expresses the most grave apprehensions on the subject of the Aus trian occupation, but the opinion—which we were not slow to promulgate from the very first—as to the honesty of Austria in the military arrangement vo lunteered to the Porte. It may appear patriotic in his Grace, to have thus, under the light of a better expe rience, spontaneously acknowledged the evil conse quences of the policy to which he bad been a consenting party. But the Duke of Newcastle must have learnt wisdom in his generation, and it may have occurred to him that a timely confession may partially shelter him individually from the execration which the sanctioning of an Austrian occupation of the Danubian Provinces is destined to stamp the Ministry of which ho was a member. Our readers may not be generally aware that, in the understanding between the first Napoleon and the Em peror Alexander, which followed their famous interview on the river Niemen, in 1807, it was proposed that Aus tria should participate in the gigantic territorial spolia tion which was then projected. Francis I. was to lend his military forces to the accomplishment of the ambi tious objects of the two Emperors, and was to receive as his reward those three provinces of European Turkey which she long coveted, and which she is still determined to acquire—the provinces of Bosnia, Servia, and Bul garia. Russia, among other territories, required the Northern Danubian Provinces, the lonian Islands, the Herzogovine and Montenegro ; while Austria would cede Lombardy, Venice, and Illyria to the French empire. Butthe foresight of Napoleon warned him against giving Russia any ports or naval position in the Medi terranean, add this great project for changing the poli tical and geographical divisions of Europe was abandoned The Northern Colossus and the German Emperor nevar relinquished designs which emanated from the very in stincts of a common traditionul policy aed a constant political ambition. The present Emperor of Austria, who, only a few years ago, was obliged to solicit the aid of the Northern tyrant to suppress the struggles for independence of his own subjects, actually cherishes the same unhallowed ambition with as much ardour and con • fidence as hi s predecessors. . . . We believe that, before the meeting of Parliament, the views of Ministers will undergo a complete change on the subject of the Austrian alliance, and that the language of Lord Clarendon, if he is really dealing honestly with the country, will be of a different character and tone from that of the last two sessions. It will be strange if Austria is at the same time found faithful to the alliance and following the policy best calculated to further the joint designs of Russia and her own ambiti ous views. Her pertinacity in opposing the entrance of an Anglo-French force into the Danubian Provinces, while, at the same time, the withdrawal of the Russian garrisons of 'small, Reni, &c., on the Danube and on the frontier of Gallicia, leaving many points of territory unprotected, would justify the strongest suspicion that Austria is holding the provinces for other purposes than those of the alliance. It will be well if the consequences do not result in a war with that Power.—Morming Ad vertiser. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.)

Law and Practice of Limited riability. By E. W. John Crookford. • To all parves desirous of becoming acquainted with the law and practice of limited liability this work in ty he recommended as a useful manual. conßid 'rung that without the Joint -Stock O. anpailis Rygistration A.t the Limited Liability Act is useless and unintelligible, the author has put the two acts together, and prefaced them with a short practical treatise on the law and practice of joint-stock companies, in which the proceedings to be taken for the purpose of forming and conduct ing a joint-stock company, together with many useful suggestions of a practical nature, are given in such a manner as to be intelligible to the public as well as the profession. Though apparently un friendly to the principle of limited liability the author has not the less succeeded in giving ft po pular exposition of its application by recent enact ment. The North British Review. Pursues its way as steadily, and with as much practical purpose as can reasonably be desired. It is quite possible that you may meet occasionally with articles of greater brilliancy in some of its contem poraries, but you repair to it with the certainty of , finding subjects of interest ably handled, and a number of them chosen with a more than usually direct application to the necessities of the times. The opinions advanced may not, it is true, in some instances, meet with your approbation, nor the conclusions drawn your assent, but it would be difficult to withhold your admiration of the flesh and-blood earnestness perceptible throughout its pages, an earnestness you would desire to meet with more frequently elsewhere. In the present number the subject of education engrosses a large share of consideration, and is treated with a direct application to the necessities of the times. In the opening article, which, with numerous and striking faults of style, is evidently the production of one essentially qualified for his task, the need and pos sibility of a special education for manufacturers, in order to the improvement of manufactures, are forcibly pointed out. Owen's College, Manchester, suggests to him a nucleus for the establishment of the sort of institution required, viz., ono where in struction in both abstract and applied science may be carried on, and that without interference with the studies now pursued there. " The Paris Exhibition and the Patent Law " attests the appropriateness of the preceding article and the judgment of its writer. With irresistible logic the painful truth is enforced that unless we advance at a more rapid rate in me chanical art than we are doing we will be beaten out of the market by foreign ers , an d espec i a ll y Frenchmen, who are rivalling us in branches of manufacture in which our superiority had long been incontestible, at the same time surpassing us in others of a nice -character, and all owing' to a better education. Even Mr. Mechi is forced to confess that French cutlery is now equal to ours. A third article on the subject of education deals with " Home Reformation and Christian Union," on the whole in a fair and enlightened spirit. " France under the House of Orleans" is the least satisfactory paper of the number ; its attempt to show that the Citizen King eschewed goVerning by corrupt means being to our thinking by no means so successful as its strokes at the statesmen of that day. Tho speculation of the writer respecting the present ruler of France we will only advert to to remark that if the Emperor relies on his own judg ment and instincts, and resists the Circean spells of German flattery and wile, his " star " is not likely to fail him till his work is accomplished. "Books from Ireland," and "Government by Parties or by Statesmen," suggest many important reflections, and contain a number of valuable remarks on our past and existing political condition. " Samuel Butler," and " Fielding and Thackeray" are bonne bouches for the literary palate, the former present ing us with some interesting information of a biographical nature respecting the author of " Hu dibras" and his career, and the second doing pretty much the same for the author of " Amelia," as well as successfully vindicating, Thackeray from the charge so urgently preferred against him of representing men and women as worse than they arc : "Let the reader take a glance," says the writer, "first over the score or so of portraits in the Newcomes,' and then over a score or so of his own acquaintance—in cluding, of course, himself,:and let him candidly say whether, the numbers pre-supposed being eqnal, he knows as many worthy people as Mr. Pendennis, in his editorial capacity, pretends to depict. Of course we are assuming, though this is, perhap s , unfair, that our reader knows his own friends and himself as intimately as he is allowed to become acquainted with that 6 most respectable family,' the Newcomes, and those who are associated with it. This, however, being premised, we certainly should judge him happy if, among his peculiar score, he can find matches for the great-minded gentleman, Colonel Newcome ; the high and sweet lady, the Countess of Florae ; the (considering the disadvan tages of her bringing up) remarkably right-minded Miss Ethel ; the frank and honourable boy Clive ; the honest and independent, and withal amiable, Miss Honeyman ; the immaculate matron, Mrs. Laura ; the unp re t en ti ous w i fe-a nd-homeloving member of Parliament, her husband • the meek man of genius, J. J., n o t t o speak Of others of less significant, or a more mixed quality, as F. Bayham, Sherrick, George Barnes, Lady Walham, De Florae, Lord Kew, Miss Cann, and half-a dozen others, who are right at heart,' as the cant and very questionable phrase goes. Against this galaxy of excellence, what have we of the ut terly abominable to put in the scale ? Only Barnes, Newcome, Mrs. Mackenzie, Mrs. Hobson New come, and Lady Kew, all of whom, except the last, let it be allowed (for it is true), are extremely com mon characters, though we have not, commonly, the means of becoming so thoroughly and philoso phically acquainted with them as in these instances. Why do we go on calling ourselves ' miserable sin ners' on Sundays, if we are to abuse Mr. Thackeray on week-days for making out many of us to be somewhat less than saints " The plain fact is, that Mr. Thackeray is decried for exactly that quality which constitutes his originality, namely, his faith fulness to some important point or points of truth hitherto denied or disregarded. We are all, nomi nally, orthodox on the point of human imperfection in the abstract, but now that Mr. Thackeray insists on proving in detail that there is really some sub stantial verity in the charge, he meets with a most heretical roar of di.-approbation. He is the Athanaeius of the doctrine of human peccability." The writer is not far from the truth when he re marks that "we are all disciples of that school of the new science of moral anatomy of which Mr. Thackeray is the master ;" and " it is emphatically true of him, as of all other great writers, that he is only sustaining the age in the direction which it is spontaneously taking." The number conclude: with an earnest exposition andenforcement of The Significance of the Struggle," the grand objectmind' the the writer being to impress on the public all-important truth that "the Crimea under be red no circumstances and on no conditio nos, vinces store must to Russia, and her Transcaucasia n pr be wrested from her." _....-- The Ferns of Great Britain and Ireland.

The Hand Place Book of the United Kingdom. Blackie and Son. The value of this abstract from the Census of 1 851 will be apparent when it is stated that within the compass of an exceedingly small pocket volume (you may put it in your waistcoat pocket) will be found references of daily use to upwards of 15,000 localities in Great Britain and Ireland. These em brace the population of all the parishes of the United Kingdom, the area of the parishes of Eng land and Ireland (the area of Scotland was not re turned), the population of all the towns, town ships, villages, and hamlets of 500 inhabitants and upwards, and the days on which their markets are held, together with the population of the counties and the smaller inhabited i slands of the U n it e d Kingdom.
