the possibility of peace. Therefore he could per fectly understand, however much they might lament this war, that every patriotic Northerner would say, "We will fight it out." And, depend upon it, that was the instinct of the men of the, North. He believed the war would go on until they had found out which was the stronger side, until they had been able to ascertain whether the men of the North could defeat the men of the Soutt. or not. (Hear, hear.) This was the instinct of the men of the North. Already they had more men than General M'Clellan knew how to deal with, in getting them drilled; and it muat not be supposed that the want of money would stop them. The men of the Northern States of America were vastly richer than the men of other countries who had gone on fighting a long time, and money did not stop men from fighting when their blood was up. It was dangerous to prophesy any thing at all; but he did prophesy that, if this war continued, the North would beat the South. (Hear, hear.) They had more money than men, and a bet ter cause. But if the South were defeated, would they be re-admitted into the Union, or form a sepa rate Republic ? He thought the North would pre fer that they should not enter into partnership again with the slaveholders, and they would be quite con tent if they were to hem in and girdle round the beautiful tree. (Hear, hear.) He did not believe the North would stop this war until they had got the control of the Mississippi. The South might found a separate and independent slave republic, with the coast line of Florida taken off. But he was by no means sure that the result would be the restoration of the Union. He did not expect it, but he did not think it was impossible. Mr. Fors ter concluded by strongly urging the adoption by this country of the principle of absolute non-inter• vention. A very cordial vote of thanks to the lecturer, moved by Mr. Kenion, seconded by Mr. J. V. God win, and supported by the Rev. J. H. Ryland, was passed, and the meeting separated. MONEY M4RKE2' AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The inquiry for discount accommodation has fur ther increased, but the demand is not more ex tensive than might have been anticipated just before the payments of the 4th of the month. The current charge for first-class bills in the open market is about 31 per cent., and the tendency of the quo tations appears rather in the ascendant, partly in consequence of the unfavourable change in the po sition of monetary affairs in France. The minimum of the Bank of England remains at 31 per cent., the directors at their meeting to-day not having considered it necessary to make any alteration. Only a small amount of gold, viz. £2,000, was taken into the Bank of England yesterday. The Ceylon, from Alexandria, brings about £ll,lOO in specie. The Pera:which leaves to-morrow for India, China, &c, will take out £lO,lOO in gold and £54,152 in silver.

ELECTION OF LORD MAYOR. THIS DAY. Notwithstanding the withdrawal of Sir H. Muggeridge, the polling is still carried on, and must be until Saturday next at four o'clock. All the " board men" have been withdrawn, and all appearance of the slightest contest has ceased.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE —(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. NEGLECTED CRILDREN.—A CASE FOR A REPORICA.- TORY.—Two little girls, named Sarah Ann Johnson and Sarah Howard, both of whom said they were nine years of age, were charged with stealing some bead neck-chains from the shop of Miss Morris, of 54, T o t tenham -court-road, Ber lin wool repository. It appears that in consequence of some thief having broken a glass show-case and taken some articles from it, Miss Morris fastened a piece of paper over the hole, and having left the place for a short time, she was informed by a little girl that the prisoners had taken something, and on taking them back to her shop they begged to be searched, and in the hat of one of them the neck-chains were found. The girls were both remanded to be sent to a reforma tory. Benitey's Miscellany. This number commences with one of Ouida's peculiar stories ; it is entitled " The Worries of a Chaperone ; or, Lady Marabout's Troubles." The style is smart and off-hand, like most of this author's productions, and we are happy to see that of late he has varied his characters and scenes to a certain degree, and relieved the monotony of some of his previous writings. This is followed by Paper number seven on the Population arid Trade in France." There is much information to be derived from the statistics furnished in these interesting articles. There is a long review of two works—the one German and the other French —the former by Erinnerungsblatter Von a Von Stamberg, on the Court of Prussia. " A Feuille Vo lante," apropos of some tastes of the day, review ear tain matters which of late have interested the public. "The Federal City of Washington" is a descrip tion of the capital of the Union and its citizens. " The Adventures of Lorn Loriot" are continued, but there is nothing of particular interest in this month's number_ The Count pays a visit to Rich mond and accidentally discovers the retreat of Mrs. Drakeforth and Esther, whom that virtuous lady proposes to sell to an aged libertine. Mr. Squirl takes Smudge to his lawyer, and the ball is set rolling for the capture of the Count ; and, as true lo , ve Cannot run smooth, we find Lorn in love with Esther, Smudge with Lorn, and Mr. Cramp, the pawnbroker's assistant, in love with Smudge. How will it all end. Temple Bar. " The Seven Sons of Mammon" is proceeded with at some length, and a most important event occurs in this instalment, Mrs. Armytage, the wonderful dissembler, and accomplished cheat is caught at last, and she was taken on the Derby Day, just as she was triumphing at the result of the day's sport her horse having won. Then as she thought herself at the climax of success and the culminating point of wealth, the grim destroyer appeared, her fairy fabric crumbled to dust and she was an outcast from the pale of society, and even as she had so long outraged the laws of humanity, she was most deservedly sent forth to meet the due reward of her ill deeds. Also, we meet with a very animated account of the Derby-day, which gives a very fair idea of the great national holiday. It is occasionally marred by that flippancy which is sometimes met in this author's writings, but it is on the whole a well described scene. The tale leaves ' off with the astounding intelligence that the great house of Goldthorpe is a bankrupt. There is a paper on " The Pre-Adamite World," which will please scientific readers. It is very truly stated, in conclusion, that "We grope about in the dark picking up here a little and there a little, but we can never hope to bring to light all that is left, and there must remain to the last in the great burying-place of nature, a far larger series than the most searching investigation of man will ever bring to light. Could we ever attain to a complete knowledge of organic remains we should have made but one step, and that an imperfect and incomplete step towards an acquaintance with the life that has passed away, for there must remain large gaps to be supplied of such animals as have passed out of existence hav ing had no durable skeleton and no hard part capable of conservation." There is a very interest ing article on "Precious Stones" which is sure to prove acceptable to the reader. It affords a con siderable amount of information concerning its sub ject in its various branches. It is said of the pearl, " Pearls are religious emblems, as well as fashionable favourites, in the New Jerusalem, each of the twelve doors was one sole pearl, and a pearl was one of the sacred gems of the ephod, while, in the Hindu mythology pearls play about as impor tant a part as flowers, none of the gods or goddesses being depicted without a profuse embellishment of these gems, and those more rightfully called pre cious stones." " Thomas Gray and the Literature of the Eighteenth Century" is a well written essay, and will doubtless be satisfactory to some to peruse. One or two other amusing and instructive papers conclude this number, which is a very readable one. The St. latnes's Magazine. This able and int eres ti ng m i sce ll an y, w hich does credit alike to editress and contributors, is con tinued with unflagging spirit. It has a goodly supply of articles, conveying information in a I pleasant readable form, on subjects of general n- I The Journal of Agriculture, and the Transactions of the _Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland. This quarterly serial affords its usual quota of information on agricultural topics. There is a long discourse on poultry, which imparts some useful hints. It states that " poultry have never received that degree of attention nor had that importance attached to them in this country which they un questionably deserve. The consequences of this too general neglect are, that we have to import an immense quantity both of fowls and eggs ; that the latter are at all times higher priced than they ought to be; and that fowl' are much less used as articles of food than the nutritious and palatable qualities of their flesh render desi rable." With respect to M. Lavergne's opinion, however, it must be said that he is wrong in his statement that the fowls of France are superior to those of England. No one who has visited the Continent will believe what he sqys of their pre cocious fattening. In a numerical point they may have the advantage, but certainly not in appearance. Various other papers connected with agriculture are discussed in this interesting number. The Medical Critic and Psychological Journal. Edited by Forbes Winslow, M.D. Davies, Princes-street. This able serial contains some important a r ti c l es on medical and psychological subjects. It is less exclusively devoted to the consideration of mental disease than of old, although that important branch of medical science still occupies a prominent place in its pages. The /Esthetics of Suicide and Unre cognised Insanity are two valuable papers. The latter is founded on a recent French work by the physician to the Hospice de la Salpetriere, and treats of those melancholy cases, "whose disease," it is justly observed, " spreads greater misery and misfortune over a wider sphere than less subtle infirmities." To this unhappy class belong the thieves, shoplifters, and other criminals who occasionally disgrace respectable connections, A paper on " Female Physicians" has much to say in their favour, and those who ridicule such a field for feminine talents should learn moderation from so eminent an authority in medical science. There are several articles referring to the study of medi cine, and the usual accounts of "English and Foreign Literature." A paper on the case of the "Egyptian Frigate at Liverpool and the Causation of Fevers" deserves consideration on the part of the owners of our merchant vessels. Many other articles of value are to be found in the number. There is a new story called " The House by the Churchyard," it is to be continued, and promises to be very complicated in its results and tragic in its denouement. As is the case in nearly all the periodi cals this month, we meet with an article on " America ;" after enumerating the various rea sons put forward in favour of slavery, and demon strating their fallacy, it is thus said, " We despair of making any impression on the South by argu ment. The garrison is not to be taken by assault, it can only be starved out. Ruinous as the war is in every way, it is already doing this for us, it is breaking down the cotton monopely of the South. Europe will be delivered from its degrading sub servience to American slavery, and the Southern States forced to abandon slavery altogether or to defy the civilised world by opening the slave trade. These are the results which the war is bringing about—results very unlike those which North ern statesmen reckon on, though far more beneficial to the world at large. The North, in all probability, will not conquer the South, but so much the better for emancipation. A war of conquest would be succeeded by a peace of compromise, but a war of exhaustion will so dis able the South that before it can right itself again the cotton spinners of Europe will have got their supply from India, and not trouble American slavery any further." " The Story of a Punjaub Wife" is a very impressive sketch that tells of a , woman's daring and spirit; it is written in an elo quent style, and reflects credit on its composer. "An Only Son" is continued at some length. Ned Locksley distinguishes himself greatly in the Indian campaigns, and returns home on sick leave. At Gibraltar he finds Lady Royston and also Amy Grant, so that there is a great deal of interesting and exciting matter in these chapters. "A Stroll over Donnybrook Fair Green" is a lively sketch of old customs and manners. "A New Leaf Turned Over" refers to Ireland nowadays. " The fame of our prosperity has even passed beyond the Straits of Dover, anrithe French journalist and book-maker, as well as the Special of the London broadsheet proclaim our recent rise in the world. Alike among savants and sciolists we form the attractive topic in this to-be-remembered autumn of 1861. " Papers on Ireland" drew the fullest audienees at Manches ter, we have heard, as well as in Dublin. the acutest observers and the most practical philoso phers following even with eulogies and prognosti cations all cast in the same mould. We make oar best bow, and trust we may be kept humble under this shower of flatteries and feliciations." "Ups and Downs of Family History" is an interesting paper on Sir Bernard Burke's work. . " A Peep into Recent French Books" is also worthy of perusal. lij i THAMES. HORRIBLE MURDER ON BOARD AN A3IERICAN SHIP. —Win. Henry Hawkins, a black man, late steward of the American ship Lammargier, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with the wilful murder of Captain William H. Adams, off the coast of Devonshire. The prisoner has bees in the custody of the Thames police since yesterday morning, and the ship is now lying in the Victoria Dock. The Lammargier sailed from the port of London for Callao twelve days ago. On Sunday morning last the Captain was foully murderedoff the Start, and the ship put back immediately and arrived in the Vic toria Dock yesterday morning at an early hour. Mr. John Brown Ross, surgeon, High-street, Shadwell, said that he had examined the body of the deceased captain. There was a very large wound over the right frontal bone, which was battered in, also over the right parietal and right temple-bone, which were battered in and the brains pro truding. There were two fractures communicating with each other. He had also examined a chopper on board. It was a new one, and had been washed, but he could trace human blood and human hair upon it. Mr. Myers, an American, the second officer of the ship Lammargier, gave evidence at great length of the sailing of the ship on the 21st of September from London, to the captain and steward having words after the vessel sailed, and to the steward's eye being marked as if he had been struck. The steward at breakfast time on Tuesday week said, " I'll give you all a chance to get back to London." He told the steward that whatever secrets he might have he had better keep them to himself. The chief officer said to the steward, " The captain is a strange man. If you get to the right side of him you will be all right." The steward said, " I am a strange max too. No one on board this ship knows me yet." On Sun day morning last the captain was found in his cabin mur dered, and the blood oozing from his head, which had been cut open with a hatchet. The steward was immediately secured and put in irons. Mr. Solfe decided that he must have the Secretary of State's warrant before be could proceed further with the case, and remanded the prisoner.

" London's Iron Belt" discusses the proposed concentration of railwa7s ; and while speaking strongly in favour of ;he plan, suggests that great precautions sboald be taken to secure the safe working of so complicated a system. The paper gives an ac count of the difficulties with which the origina tors of the plan have had to contend, and tie gradual progress they have made and are making towards completion. " Clays and their uses," ty no less an authority than Professor Ansted, is well worth reading. For lighter subjects we have agreeable papers on " Pearls and Pearl Divers," and on the " Hanover-square Rooms," while the social philosopher will be attracted by " A Plea for Hymen," in answer to an articla recently published condemning the social effects of early marriages. " Leaves from a great volume' show us some of the wonders which our careless eyes pass over in the leaves of plants. The depart ment of fiction is well supplied. We have the continuation of Mrs. Hall's story of "Can wrong be right," which is very eventful. Mildred returns to England to find her husband already married to his first love. It is impossible for the reader to sympathise in the general admiration of Sir Oswald, who appears to be equally wanting in head and heart. Besides this instalment there is the first part of a Scottish story by the author of "Margaret Maitland," full of thrilling interest. There are graceful verses by Thomas Hood, and Mrs. Cros land. We must not omit to mention two charming little stories for the young of the " household, by Mrs. Broderip, and the author of " Mary Powell." Macmillan's Magazine. The continuation of Mr. Kingsley's tale of Raven shoe is as interesting as ever; new characters are introduced, and a catastrophy of some sort is immi nent. Lieutenant Hornby discovers Charles's real name and his acquaintance with the villain of the story, Lord Welter, and a sort of explanation between them takes place. Charles is elected a member of a club composed of coachmen and head-grooms shortly after taking up his quarters in the mews where Lieutenant Hornby's horses were kept, and he there learns something about Lord Welter which, to a certain extent,opens his eyes. As we have already intimated, it was Lord Welter who seduced Ellen, whom Charles believes to be his sister, and when he finds that she is still in the keeping of Lord Welter Charles will take summary vengeance. Charles makes friends with a little shoeblack who is to figure prominently hereafter. The character of the little outcast and his affection for his sister are beautifully described. " Why do you come so far then?" asked Charles. The boy told him why he plodded so wearily, day after day, over here in the West-end. It was for family reasons, into which I must not go too closely. Somebody, it ap peared, still came home, now and then, just once in a way to see her mother, and to visit the den where she was bred ; and there was still left one who would wait for her week after week—still one pair of childish feet, bare and dirty, that would patter back beside her—still one childish voice that would prattle with her on the way to her hideous home and call her sister. "Have you any brothers ?" Five altogther. Jim was gone for a sojer, it appeared; and Nipper was sent over the water. Harry was on the cross— " On the cross ?" said Charles. " Ah I" the boy said, "He goes out cly-faking and such. He's a prig, and a smart one, too. - He's fly, is Harry." But what is cly-faking ?" said Charles. " Why a prigging of wipes, and sneeze-boxes, and ridi cules, and such." Charles was not so ignorant of slang phrase as not to understand what his little friend meant now. He said,— " But you are not a thief, are you ?" The boy looked up at him frankly and honestly, and said,— " Lord bless you, no I I shouldn't make no hand of that. I ain't brave enough for that !" He gave the boy twopence, and gave orders that one penny was to be spent in a ball. And then Ihe sauntered listlessly away —every day more listless, and not three weeks gene yet His mind returned to this child very often. He found himself thinking more about the little rogue than he could explain. The strange babble of the child, prattling so innocently, and, as he thought, so prettily, about vice, and crime, and misery; about one brother transported, one a thief—and you see he could love kis sister even too the very end of it at all Strange babble indeed from a child's lips He thought of it again and again, and then, dressing himself plainly, he went up to Grosvenor-square, where Mary would be walking with Lord Hainault's children. He wanted to hear them talk. For the second time Charles sees Mary and this time, from what he overhears, he begins to find out that her love for him is more than sisterly affection. He returned home moralising after this manner : He was thinking now, in his way, about these children— about Gus and Flora on the one hand, and the little shoe black on the other. Both so innocent and pretty, and yet so different ! He had taken himself from the one world and thrown himself into the other. There were two worlds and two standards—gentlemen and non-gentlemen. The " lower orders" did not seem to be so particular about the character of their immediate relations as the upper. That was well, for he belonged to the former now, and had a sister. If one of Lord Charles Herries's children had gone wrong, Gus and Flora would never have talked of him or her to a stranger. He must learn the secret of this armour which made the poor so invulnerable. He must go and talk to the little shoeblack. He thought that was the reason why he went to look after the little rogue next day; but that was not the real reason. The reason was, that ho had found a friend in a lower grade than himself, who would admire him and look up to him. The first friend of that sort he had made since his fall I What that friend accidentally saved him from, we shall seo. The Derby-day at length arrived. On the course he comes across Adelaide, now Lady Welter. She has succeeded in persuading her seducer to marry her, and the Epsom meeting is her first appearance in public. Charles is shocked to see the change that one short month has made in the girl he once idolised. Her back was towards him, of course ; yet he guessed she was beautiful. " She is a fast woman, Go I help her 1" said he ; and he determined to go and look at her. He sauntered past the carriage, and turned to look at her. It was Adelaide. As faultlessly beautiful as ever, but ah—how changed. The winning petulance, so charming in other days, was gone from that face for ever. Hard, stern, proud, defiant, she sat there upright, alone. Fallen from the society of all women of her own rank, she knew—who better ?—that not one of those men chattering around her would have borne to see her in the company of his sister, viscountess though she wore, countess and mother of earls as she would be. They laughed, and lounged, and joked before her ; and she tolerated them, and cast her gibes hither and thither among them, bitterly and contemptuously. It vas her first ap pearance in the world. She had been married three days. Not a woman would speak to her : Lord Welter had coarsely told her so that morning; and bitterness and hatred were in her hesrl - Tt Nya.,Fnr tl,;. ~a I. —4-. honour and good fame. She had got her title, flung to her as a dog by Welter ; but her social power, for which she had sold herself, was lower, far lower, than when she was poor Adelaide Summers. It is right that it should be so, as a rule ; in her case it was doubly right. a, Presently Lord Welter came swinging in among them ; ho looked terribly savage and wild, and Charles thought he had been drinking. Knowing what he was in this mood, and knowing also the mood Adelaide was in, he dreaded some scene. ." But they cannot quarrel so soon," he thought. " How d'ye do ?" said Welter to the knot of men round his wife's carriage. " Lady Welter, have your people got any champagne, or anything of that sort ?" " I suppose so; you had better ask them." She had not forgotten what he said to her that morning so brutally. She saw he was madly angry, and would have liked to make him commit himself before these men. She had fawns, and wheedled, and flattered for a month; but now she was Lady Welter, and he should feel it ! Welter looked still more savage, but said nothing. A man brought him some wine ; and, as he gave it to him, Adelaide said, as quietly as though she were telling him that there were some dust on his coat,— " You had better not take too much of it; you seem to have had enough already.

" The Victories of Love," by Coventry Patmore, is written in this author's usual style. Its poetical beauties will doubtless be pleasing to those who admire the author's productions. The second part of " Good and Evil" is as clear, clever, and intel ligible as the first, but we confess that its point and object are beyond our apprehension. and we fear that of most of the readers of .Macmil lan's lilagaine. A letter from an eminent lawyer in New York on the American question is one of the best treatises on the subject we have yet met with. The writer takes an impartial view of both sides of the question, and enters at considerable length on the question of slavery:— Aside from the bad ambition of the leading Southern politicians, the real cause of revolt is the manifest weaken ing of the power of the slaveholders to subordinate the legis lation and administration of the country to the promotion of slavery, and the growing power and coming prepon derance of the North, and its supposed purpose to use that power, so far as it constitutionally may, to restrict slavery within its present enormous territorial limits, and save from its blighting influences the territories now free. During the revolution, and while the Government was forming, there was a common belief throughout the land, north and south, that slavery is wrong. The intellect of the nation was aroused and enlightened, and its conscience touched. All agreed that slavery ought in some way to be brought to an end. With the invention of the cotton-gin came the means of turning slave labour to greatly increased profit ; the love of gain and of power stifled the sentiments of justice ; and the purpose was formed to maintain slavery at all hazards. But it could not be maintained by excuses. It was especially hard to admit slaveholding to be wrong, yet insist on its extension; so a new doctrine was started, of which Mr. Calhoun was the great advocate—that it was the right and duty of the white man, that it was just and kind to the black man, to hold the negro in bondage. This gave to the slaveholder a weapon in place of a shield, and he was able consistently to become aggressive. The dogma of the righteousness at slimy lies at the .basis of the Ate = a~~,~. it g tl n on. Irevolt. Mr. Stephens, the Vice-Presiefeni ,;of the Confede rate States, said, in a speech at the seat: of the new Go vernment, intended to be an exposition of " the superiority of the Constitution of the Confederate State s, " The prevail si n ta g t i e d s e m a s e n entertained e b o y f t l\ h e f ir.J o e r ff m e a r s t i o o n n a o n f d t m h . e Est ol d of e the t l were, that the ens avement of the African ' was in violation of the law of nature—that it was wrot ig in principle, socially, morally, and politically. . . . . . r, Those ideas, how ever , were f un d amen t a ll y wr o n g . 'They rested on the assumption of the equl tlity of races. This was an error. It was a sandy found ation for a Go vernment to be built upon ; and, when ' the , storm came and the wind blew, it fell.' Our new Governs nent is founded upon exactly the opposite ideas; its found' rtions .are laid, its corner -stone rests, upon the great truth that the negro is nat equal to the white man—that slavery, subordination to the superior race, is his natural and normal condition. This our new Government is the first in the history of the world based upon this great physic ii, philosophical, and moral truth." For at least thirty-five years the proud, plucky, but pes. tilent state of South Carolina has been educating the Southern mind in this doctrine, and preparing it to adopt. any means necessary to make it the ruling principle of the Government. If the Free States could be coaxed or bullied into its support, the Union might stand ; if not, it was to be broken. In or out of the Union, the slaveb olding dogma of the righteousness of slavery, and the duty of Go,voru ment to uphold and promote it, must rule. After reviewing the enactments made from thae to time by the various States regarding the restorL of fugitive slaver, the writer thus concludes : In bringing this subject to a close, let me add, that to me one of the most impressive phases of this matter is the retributive nature of the troubles and sufferings we are undergoing. The institution of slavery has fostered and established in Southern men a proud, imperious, disdainful, and arrogant temper. It has led them to scorn labour, to be bitter of speech, apt at insults, ready with the murderous blow. It has led them to greatly overrate their own. im portance, courage, and prowess, and to underrate the bravery, skill, determinati on , an d resources of the men of the North- On the other hand, the Northern men have yielded in an unmanly way to the unjust asumptions of Southern men—have been led, by undue regard for peace, pelf, or place, to shut their eyes to the humiliations to which the South was continually subjecting them. All are now paying the accumulated penalties of their misconduct. "From London to Ballachulish and Back" is a sketch of a holiday excursion to the north of Scot land. Under the head of " Masters and Work men," it is maintained that the only satisfactory termination of the dispute will be a resolve on both sides to act in a sort of partnership, or, in other words, to open their eyes to the fact that their in terests are one and the same. There are chapl era on the Naples Question, Natural Science, on Schools and on General Education, and a paper on the Lon don Musical Season. The Popular Science Review. No. I. Robert Hardwicke. This is the fi rs t ap;;;;;;of a new quarterly, edited by Ja mes S amue l son. I t i s d evote d prin cipally to scientific pursuits, but zoology, entomo logy, botany, and vari ous su bj ec t s are trea t e d o f. Among the scientific papers o ne u p on "I ron an d Steel" is one of the most interesting. A chapter on " The Lowest Form of Life" gives a minute ac count of the peculiarities and habits of animalculte and polypi. The West Coast of Equatorial Africa is described, and accounts of the habits of its savage inhabitants, their horrible "fetish worship," human sacrifices, and canibalism, form the geographical quota; and " The Breath of Life,' and some miscellaneous papers do duty for the medical department. There is no lack ofinterest ing and instructive matter, and if the Review of Popular Science be continued in the able manner in which the first number has been produced, it is pretty sure to hold its own among the numerous quarterlies now published, and to be well received by tie public. Orley _Farm. By Anthony TroHope: Part 8: The plot thickens, although nothing decisive has as yet taken place. Felix Graham meets with a fall in following Miss Tristram and Peregrine Orme out of the covert, by which he breaks an arm some of his ribs. Miss Tristram continues her course, but Peregrine returns to his friend. Pre sently the Judge with his daughter Madeleine and Miss Furnival arrive, when, in her anxiety to assist Graham, Madeleine allows her love for him to be discovered by more than one individual, amongst whom is young Peregrine Orme, but he neverthe less proposes to her in his blunt, off-handed way, and is, of course, refused. Mr. Crabwitz pays a visit to Hamworth under a false name, and endea vours to bribe Dockwrath to throw up the case, but fails, and the Hamworth attorney is determined. In his interview with Joseph Mason and Mat Round, Dockwrath, believing that Round is favouring Lady Mason, becomes rude, and is nearly turned out of the office by the London lawyer, whom he hates for the contempt with whieh he looks down upon him: The case will eventually fall entirely into the hands of Mr: Dockwrath, but what the ulti mate result will prove time alone can as yet show. Lucius Mason, who has not appeared on the scene in this number will, doubtless, not only have a finger in the pie, but will also put his foot in it. Baily's Sporting Magazine. This magazine contains a portrait and biography of General Peel. The engraving is executed with the same ability as the previous frontispiecesin this magazine. The Gentleman in Black furnishes a paper entitled "Let hifer Auctumnus," in which there is a good deal about dogs and guns. In a chapter on " Fishing and Fishermen" some good advise is given to would-be anglers, and those who have never had any practical experience, are advised not to talk too much from what they have read in books ; and the writer observes that it is quite possible to visit Wales without being laughed at, because you don of carry a creel on your back and a rod in your hand. In " Hunting in the Himalaya, the Serai, and Cash mere" we find an accotmt of a tiger hunt, and general description of the country. Some pages are devoted to the review of Scrutator's " Recollections of a Foxhunter." Cricket and other sport of the month are reviewed, and the general sporting intelligence. MISCELLANEOUS MAGAZINES: The new series of The Eclectic opens with a notice of the " Memoirs of the late Christmas Evans," a celebrated preacher of Wales. It is justly remarked that we in England know little of Welsh preaching, nor of its stirring effects on that excitable people. Among other papers is a criticism on Charles Dickens's " Great Expectations" and au essay on " Popular Education."—Newton's London Journal has an article on " The Patent Law and its ° pe t-WC/IL:4i Vb Liao •••.•+••••-•••••-rsnri lief nf r.namr, patents, scientific notices and reports.— Good Words we have often spoken of in terms of com mendation, and it fully maintains its charac ter.

There is a variety of pleasant and profitable read ing to be found in its pages, and the illustratons are numerous and good of the kind.—Cassell's pub lications proceed as usual. The two editions of Cassell's Illustrated Family Bible have attained a large circulation, which is not surprising. Cassell's Family Paper and The Ladies' Treasury are both well calculated for the domestic circle. His Popular Natural Ristory and Illustrated Ristory of England will be very valuable to self-instructors.— The Quiver, a new religious paper, under the management of the same enterprising publisher, is issued in weekly numbers and monthly parts. It promises well, being devoid of that intolerance and bigotry which so often mars the effect of well intentioned periodicals of this class. It professes to be " evangelical and unsectarian in its character, having for its grand aim the intellectual, moral, and spiritual improvement of its readers; its staff of contributors to include some of the ablest writers in the sphere of religious literature, irrespective of denominational differenees." There is ample room for a paper of this kind, if carried out in the spirit thus indicated, and we trust it may have a large circulation. among our labouring classes.— The Sixpenny Magazine has a surprising variety of aimsmm o a r t e t e a r ot r for j s i t pric e , e discussion s o c original,—The gssno having anlo—f pT n political eit Cc less ao h Cosmopolitan no t pd oa, philosophical. t n 5 a R t i v c e e s o s , shouldtopics, conjecture with be stories ch i e andfl an notices. amateur %Ve p ro duction, but it s singularity m y ay attract some readers.
