MONEY MARKET AND CODMMCIAL INTELLIGENCB. CITY, ONE O'CLOC!C. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed with a steady feeling, and prices of all kinds were unchanged. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales (250 for export and 500 on speculation), com prising 350 Pernam and Maranham, at 61d. to ; 350 Egyptian, at 6id. to Bd. ; 1,500 Surat, at 4fd. to 51d. per lb. The Share Market closed quietly, and prices are a slight decline on last week. The Belgian commercial report mentions that the markets generally were steady, and there was very little business doing on account of the grand fates at Brussels occupying the attention of the public. The market for coffee at Antwerp was well sup plied with stocks by numerous arrivals from St. Domingo, Java, and Rio Janeiro. The first-named qualities were in demand for exportation, and an active business was transacted in Brazils at full quo tations. In all kinds there was a further tendency to rise. The market for raw sugar was completely paralysed by the high prices obtained at the public sales held at Amsterdam by the commercial com pany of the Low Countries. Holders of Stock were standing out for an advance upon previous pricut, which purchasers were not inclined to pay, and consequently there was no business done. In refined sugars not only was there a rise in prices, but the stock in the market for sale was very limit ed, and the sugar refiners were restricting their manufactures on account of the large price of raw sugars. The wool market was quiet, and the re duced prices of the previous week maintained with firmness. The imports of this article were chiefly from Buenos Ayres and England. Accounts from Finland state that a decree has been published prohibiting the exportation of oats, barley, and rye from the districts of Wasa and Uleabourg. The usual French mails have not yet arrived. The NeW Great Britain has arrived from Port Philip with 46,769 ounces of gold. The Funds remain almost stationary at previous quotations. Business is very dull, but there is a considerable degree of firmness in prices, which has been increased by the arrivals of specie and the ex pectation that the minimum rate of discount will soon be reduced. Consols have been 951 for money, and 95/ a for account. The New Threes are 96a and the Reduced 96 to 96k. Exchequer Bills are firm. In the Foreign Stock Market business has been very inactive, and prices have exhibited but little change from yesterday's range. Brazilian 5 per Cents. are 101 to 103. Buenos Ayres 84 to 86. Grenada Active Bonds 19 to 201. Russian 5 per Cents. 111 to It 3. Turkish 6 per Cents. aro quoted at 104 k to 1041, and the 4 per Cents. at 1061 to 1061. Dutch Bonds are steady at 64 to 66 for the 2k per Cents., and 96 to 98 for the 4 per Cent. Certificates. Railway shares are dull, and without any ma terial alteration in prices. The French, Belgian, Canadian, and Indian lines are quiet. Alines, Banks, and Miscellaneous shares are generally at previous prices. Two O'CLOCK. The English Stock Market continues firm, Con sols being 053 for money, 95 for account, August, and 96i for September. Exchequer Bills are 20s. to 235. pm. India Stock is 236. Foreign Securities rule dull. Russian 5 per Cents. are 112 to 1124. Turkish 6 per Cents. 104 to 1041, and the Guaranteed 4 per Cents. 106 g. Money on Foreign Stocks is worth from 6 to 8 per cent. The arrangement of the railway share account is now in progress, and the rates charged for " carry ing over" are rather heavy. Bengals are 1 : pm., Calcuttas i i pm., and Ceylons lit / pin.

CRICKET.—THE•M.C.O. AND GROUND v. ENGLAND. — This match was commenced yesterday at Lord's, where tll ere were assembled a very large company to witness the play. The game is interesting ; and doubtless a great- many lovers of this manly pastime will attend to day to witness the conclusion. Score of the first day's Play :—Eogland, let innings, 130 ; Marylebone, I 'flings, 133. MELANCROLT ACCIDENT.—On Monday evening an amiable little girl, named Mary Mathews, aged 12 years, daughter of the late Mr. Robert Mathews, upholsterer, &e.i was shot dead by a youth named Richard Ingham, With whom she had been a playfellow. It appears that the father of the lad placed his gun in a cupboard in the kitchen. He had drawn the shot out of the barrels and re moved the caps, but left the powder in. Richard Ingham, the son, took the gun down on Monday even ing and put a cap on the nipple. In play he put the gun up to his shoulder, aiming at the deceased. He drew the trigger, and the deceased fell and died almost directly. The charge entered the left part of the fore heal, making a deep hole—the nose and cheek were Completely blown away, the left jaw bone was broker, the tongue destroyed. the teeth driven down the throat, and the left eye lay upon the chin. Another little girl, who was leaning upon her, had her neck discoloured by the explosion, and the left arm bruised. The deceased had gone that day to invite young Ingham (who is 13 years old) and his sister to spend the following day at her uncle'i house, it being the anniversary of her birth day.—North. Wales Chronicle. MEXICA N AND SOUTH AMERICAN COMPANY.—YeAer day the annual meeting of this company was held at the London Tavern ; Mr. J. D. Powles in the chair. The report stated that the company was in a sound and healthy position, and that there was every reason to believe that by the next meeting they would resume the payment of dividends. It was thought afivisable by tu,, diztc;tors to mer(asc., the capitt..l, tuakiug 3 call of 1/. per share, which would realise an;000z. After some discussion, the report and accounts were adopted.

On Saturday night last this Temple of the Muses was a scene of unusual excitement and gaiety, caused by the little enchantress Marietta Piccolomini's highly-finished and exquisite performance of Norma in Donizetti's fa vourite opera, "Don Pasquale." Those habitues of the opera and lovers of music who were fortunate enough to enjoy the Piccolomini's admirable interpretation of Vio letta in "La Traviata," and who were sensibly affected by her sorrows, were equally enchanted on Saturday night with the extreme versatility of her talent in the gay, pert, buoyant, young hypocrite, which she acted to perfection. We, who to a certain extent are rather blase, from our operatic experience of thirty years, must candidly acknowledge we were thoroughly amused, nay even delighted, not only with the piquant prof ago. nista Piccolomini, but with the extraordinary effect she produced upon her enraptured audieece. Some ladies near us, who seemed as if they came from the coantry, smiled, others tittered, and others laughed, but at, last the irresistible comicality of some of her scenes with Belletti as Malatesta, and Rossi as Don Pasquale, was so great that they were obliged to throw off all restraint, and they indulged to their heart's content in fits of laughter the most enthusiastic and genuine. To de pict the various phases of this admirable performance would occupy too much space in our journa'. Suffice it to say, that the two principal scenes, the one be tween her and Malatesta, where they. are concocting the plot against the amorous old dandy Dan Pasquale, and the scene between her an 1 the Dan, where, ho hav ing signed the mock marriage cintract, she immediately throws off the mask, and from being the most lamb like of the gentle sex, she bee )nee the tyrannic terma gant, were given with aq that genuine vis coinica which would have done honour to the most mature actress on the English boards. Her singing also was remarkable for good taste, judgment, and careful study, and her exertions were crownoi with oomplete success by calls before the curtain after each act, and calls and recalls after the opera, besides a shower of bouquets. Calzolari was a worthy representative of the lover Erneste, and sung most sweetly, as he al ways does. The serenade was, of course, encored, as it always is, and always will be ; and the duettini " Tor narni a der the m'arni," with Piccolomini, was a gem of the first water. When we say that Belletti was the Mala testa of the evening, our musical readers will be confident that nothing could be more effective than the well-known reading of this ungrateful role. We now end our pleas ing task in recording the triumphant success of Signor Rossi, as the amorous old beau Don Pasquale, whose performance gave universal satisfaction. We have much pleasure in adding our meed of praise to his highly comic interpretation of this role, and further add, that he not only acted and sung the part in a highly-finished manner, but that his byplay was judicious, his make-up in good taste, and his appearance altogether just what it ought to be. We congratulate the spirited lessee on the number of talented artistes he has introduced this season to his subscribers and the habitues of the opera, who already are favourites of the public. The charming Rosati displays all the wonders of the dance nightly in " The Corsaire," one of the most splendid ballets ever produced. MADEMOISELLE JOHANNA. WAGNER'S benefit took place last night, when we were happy to perceive the house was crowded in every part. Tue moment the fair beneficiaire made her appearance she was greeted with a genuine burst of applause, which must have been very gratifying to her. Ail through the opera she seemed to exert herself, so as not to leave anything to be desired by her numerous patrons—singing and acting with an abandon truly artistic, and at the fall of the curtain she was called, and recalled, four times by the unanimous voice of the house, when she was so overwhelmed with garlands, crowns, and bouquets, that one might have thought all the bouquetcriee' shops in Covent-garden market were deprived of their floral treasures. The first time she was called before the curtain she grace. fully and gallantly led on Madl'e. Jenny Baur, who was OD this occasion as successful as on the first night of the performance of Tancredi. The orchestra, under the able direction of Signor Bonotti in the opera, and Mons. Nadaud in the ballet, was admirable. ON CANCER-V.ELPE AU-MARSDEN. ( From the Lancet.) [We extract the following notice with much plea sure from a publication very competent to do full justice to the eminent author, and no less eminent translator of a work of deep interest to the public at large, but more particularly to the medical pro fession] : Traito des Maladies du Sein et de la Rjgion Mammafre. Par A. VELPEAII, Membre de l'lastitut o Chirurgien de l'Hopital de la Charit6, &c. On Cancer of the Breast and Mammary Region. By A. VELPEAII, dlember of the Instigate, &o. Translated from the French by W. MARSDEI , T, M.D., Surgeon to the Royal Free and Cancer Hospitals. London Henry Renshaw. A. literal and faithful translation of a most valuable treatise on the Mal:gnant Diseases of the Breast and of the Mammary Region, by M. Velpeau, the celebrated Parisian surgeon, has most opportunely been offered the publ►c and the profession by Dr. Marsden, senior sur geon to, and founder of, the Royal Free Hospital, and hea I :surgeon to the Cancer Hospital, Brampton and London. Notwithstanding the many valuable additions to the literature of malignant disease of the Breast an-I Nlammary Region, such a work was greatly wanted. It I history is briefly this : M. Velpeau is pre eminent as a-practical man, pro• found physiologist, ani talented author. The present work contains the results of more than thirty years' care• ful clinical observations conducted in large hospitals, in the presence of numerous c'a-zses of students ; and in an extensive private and consultation practice, aided by the researches of the first micrograoliers of the day, who mostly were, indeed, M. Valpeau's students. Thus no. thing has ben neglected, ca'culated in the most remote manner to throw light on a subject confessedly surround ed by the greatest difficulties. Dr. Marsden, being surgeon to the Cancer Hospital, where, daily, as it were, every form of this dreadful disease is brought before him, must, during a long and active professional life have be came familiar with all the difficulties besetting an in geiry which, as M. Velpeau judiciously remarks, ha-; extended, nearly in its present form, from Hippocrates to the present day. Thus the work appears in its English dress under the most favourable circumstances. As regards the Pathology of Cancer, that all-import ant point, it is but too evident, and we say it with re gret, that the doctrine of the cancer cell, so ably ex pounded by L6bert, Vogel, and other distinguished micrograpbers, can no longer be accepted as a doctrine or theory entitled to hold its ground in medicine. The cancer cell is not pathognomonie of cancer ; its presence is no proof of the malignant character of the disease, nor its absence of the opposite. The work before us proves incuntestibly that M. L6bert and those who think with him will be compelled, however reluctantly, to modify their views and opinions on this important matt€r. To the operation, as performed with the scalpel or bistoury, Velpeau still looks as the only remedy to be at all depended on. That it fails he frankly admits ; no sur geon lives who' less dreads his want of success being known. But although favourable to the use of the kuife,—emboldened in this course, no doubt, by the suc cessful application of etherisation,—he is not unmindful nor reluctari t to admit the benefits which patients labouring under malignant disease may derive from the judicious use of caustics, the various qualities of which he de scribes with infinite care, and the utmost impartiality. To say that the work of M. Velpeau contains every novelty in doctrine and in practice, as we shOuld expect from a French surgeon, is not to do it justice ; it con tains the results of the inquiries of a highly gifted mind, which for thirty years bad never lost sight of the disease. Thus every remedy has been tried, every recommen dation attended to, how suspicious soever might be the source whence the recommendation or the proposed remedy came. It is not enough to say that it merits the confidence cf all ; the work is destined to become popular, and to be a standard of reference for a century at least. To the oldest, to the most experienced, its perusal will suggest many points for reflection ; carefully studied, it will place the young surgeon aa courant with the most advanced doctrine•and practice of the day; to the provincial surgeon especially this work must prove invaluable, If an agreeable reflection may ba drawn from a sub• ject so disheartening as the medical history of cancer, it will be found, we think, in the courageous, indefatigable, and unceasing efforts on the part of the profession, dur ing so many centuries, to disc3ver a remedy for the most terrible of all diseases. The latest effort in this direction we now review ; the treatise before us furnishes a secure starting point for future inquiry, and for a long period to come will assuredly he viewed as a classical work on Cancer of the Breast. Four highly-finished and beauti fully-coloured engravings further enhance the value of this elaborate and practical treatise. It was, originally, the intention of the translator, as we learn from a short note attached to the translation, to have added to the original work of M. Velpeau, notes and observations drawn from the results of his own ex tended practice, bUt we think he has acted judiciously in reserving them for a separate and distinct work, in which the great practical question of the importance of a combined constitutional and surgical treatment may be fully submitted to the profession and the public. TR E CZAR AND PRINOE If ENSOB 'KOFF. The Invalicle I?usse publishes the following imperial rescript, addressed to Prince Menschikoff, on the occa sion of his jubilee of fifty years passed iu the service of the state : "Prince Alexander Sergovitch,—The completion of the fiftieth year that you have paF!sed in the service of the state furnishes me with the most agreeable opportu nity of recalling the eminent services, both rui!itary and administrative, that rendered conspicuous your indefatig able, zPairme, and loyal devotedness during the reign of the Emperor Alexander I. of blessed memory, and during the reign of my late father, the Emperor Nicholas. "In the memorable period of the years 1813, 1814, and 1815, you took part, in the capacity of aide-de-camp, and in the functions intrusted to you by your Sovereign, in many actions within sight of the enemy, and every where you gave proof of much personal bravery and great self-denial. " In the courre of the war of 1818 against the Otto man Porte, which was so honourable for you in every sense, the capture of the fortresl of Anapa, covered you with glory, as likewise the army that fought under your orders. On that occasion you hoisted f'r the first time, to use the words of your own report, the flag of corn mander-in•chief of the naval staff, functions with which you had just been invested by the confidence of the mo narch. Your labours and the dispositions you made at the siege of Varna, in which you were severely wounded by a gun shot, are no less worthy of enlogium. Yonr !lame will remain for ever connected with the history of the incomparable defence of Sebastopol, that you main tained for 11 months. "It is to you that belong the first brilliant pages of the annals that will relate to posterity the history of an obstinate defence against the immense forces of the enemies. "In enumerating your military merits I am happy at being able to mention your civic career. During the 26 years of your administration of the naval jurisdiction, and during your equally long administration of the great principally of Finland, you constantly enjoyed the un alterable good wishes of my father, of imperishable me mory, who esteemed you, as he expressed to me, before the supreme hour of death, as his companion and friend. "Moreover, your merits and high capacities have caused other functions in other branches of the Govern ment to be confided to you, and in every instance you distinguished yourself by indefatigable activity and great sacrifice of self. In fully appreciating the eminent ser vices you have not ceased to render for half a century, I consider it my duty to express to you my cordial and sincere gratitude, and I hope that, amid the labours that await me, I shall obtain your valuable assistance and your old devotion, for the welfare of our beloved Russia.—l remain for ever pion affectionately, (Signed) " ALEXANDER." STAFFORD•HOUSE ENTERTAINMENT. A select audience assembled in the hall of Stafford House yesterday afternoon, to hear a dramatic reading by Mrs. Webb. It consisted of extracts from " Uncl.e Tom's Cabin," selected ace arranged for reading by Mrs. Stowe herself, for this lady. The scenes were well selected, and br,ught forward the chief incidents of the book very skilfully. Great praise is due to the reader, who displayed considersble dramatic talent. The principal merit consisted in the skill with which she personated the different characters. Those who had not read the book could have formed an accurate Won of their distlnguidhing- individuality from the re presentation. Whether it was the volatile negro, the affected fine lady, the harsh slave-driver, or the original Topsy, she seemed to enter into the peculiarities of each. The few passages in which Uncle Torn appeared were delivered with a peculiar emphasis, which suited the so lemn style of one marked out from his fellows to point the way to suffer and be strong. Th e t ouc hi ng s t or y o f Cassy exemplifies in a striking manner the horrors of slavery in its worst forms, in no way more terrible than in its awful results, breaking down all trust and confi dence in laws both human and divine. This portion. Mrs. Webb rendered with particular effect, and gave the sudden changes of voice and manner with much discri mination. The fact of her being herself a mulatto, and the daughter of a fugitive Blare, added greatly to the in terest. Her appearance and deportment were intelli gent and lady-like, and she is possessed of a clear and powerful voice. She has already obtained an extended reputation in the United States, and will no doubt be equally successful in this country. The audience yes terday appeared highly gratified, the splendid hall of Stafford House accommodating a numerous though very select assembly. Through the kindness of the Duchess strangers were allowed to visit the state apartments, picture-gallery, &c., which permission several availed themselves of. Papers were distributed on behalf of the free-coloured population in Canada, who are many of them in a state of great distress and ignorance, as the whites refuse to agssciate with them. At one point the average arrivals are five daily, a n d consequently the population is rapidly increasing. Efforts are being made by the Colonial Church and School Society to afford tl2ir assistance and instruction ; and those who wish to ctribute to this praiseworthy undertaking may forward their subscriptions to the office of the society, Sergeant's inn, Fleet-street. We trust that Mrs. Webb may obtain the success in this country that her talents as well as her interesting history appear to merit, and which her aus picious introduction to English society would seem to warrant. His Royal Highness the Prince of Prussia, who ar. rived at Buckingham Palace yesterday, from Osborne, w ill proceed to Goodwood this morning, on a visit to the Duke and Duchess of Richmond, His Royal High. ness, on leaving Goodwood, will return di rec t t o Berlin.' His Excellency the Belgian Minister and Madame Van de Weyer have returned from Brussels, where his Excellency had been officially invited, as ex-member of the Provisional Government and of the National Con gress, to be present at the fetes. His Majesty the King of the Belgians has on this occasion conferred upon M. de Weyer the Grand Cross of the Order of Leopold. The Marquis and Marchioness of Londonderry ar rived at Chesharn-place on Saturday night from the Continent, after an absence from England of eight months. Lord and Lady Brougham have left town for Brougham Hall. We are glad to learn that the noble and learned lord continues to enjoy excellent health. Lord and Lady Poltimore and the Hon. A. F. Bamp fylde have left Grosvenor-square for Germany. The select committee appointed by the Lords' C -)m mittee on the subject of the office of the Clerk of Parlia ments, recommend to the house that a retiring allowance of 1,5001. per annum should be granted to the Earl of Devon, to commence from the sth of January, 1856, and be paid quarter out of the Fee Fund of the House of Lords. NATIONAL GALLERY. —An altarpiece, by an early Florentine master, Benozzo GezzJli, has been added to the national collection. It represents the Virgin and Child, surrounded by angels and saints, From the ori ginal contract, recently published at Florence, it appears that this picture was painted in 1461.2, for the altar in the church of the Company of St. Mark; it is thus iden tified with a work noticed by Vasari in his life of the artist. The picture subsequent ! ycame into private hands, and was purchased from the remainder of the Rinuccini collection for the National Gal!ery. ETON COLLEGE, Monday.—The intelligence of two vacancies having occurred at King's College, Cambridge, occasioned by the resignation of the Rev. Frederick Long and Reynolds, Esq., arrived at Eton yesterday morning, and the ceremony ): ripping, by the Provost, of Bosanquet, ma., and Browning, two of the King's scholars at the head of the sixth form, who have suc ceeded them, took place the Provost Lodge in the afternoon. This morning the two fortunate students took their departure for Camizidge. Hodson, who obtained the Newcastle scholarship of 1856, is now the captain. THE MAILS.—SOUTHAMPTON, MONDAY.—The Penin sular and Oriental Company's steam-ship Sultan, Capt. Cook, left this day, with the usual Peninsular mail for Vigo, Oporto, Cadiz, Lisbon, and Gibraltar ; a general cargo, specie for Lisbon 6,5701., for Cadiz 6,8801., and 31 passengers, among whom was Major King. CHARGE' OF CONSPIRACY AND ILLEGAL ARREST.— Yesterday at the Marlborough-street polioe office, Ro bert Johnstone, of the Army and Navy Club, was sum moned before Mr. Beadon "far having wantonly and wilfully conspired and combined with another person unlawfully and under false pretences to arrest William Kay against his will, and in pursuance of such con spiracy arresting and imprisoning the said William Kay , for a ,p.,n, of tim,_, t', wit, .ix !1,, , ir , ;."

This event, which for some time past has attracted the attention of the sporting world, came off yesterday at La Marche, attended with most favourable weather, and drew together a considerable number, in carriages fitled with well-dressed ladies, sporting gentlemen on horse back, and a great concourse of pedestrians. A few mi nutes before the day's proceedings c3inmenced her Ma jesty the Empress, who looked exceedingly well, arrived in a carriage and four, with out•rider4, attended by her ladies in waiting and the principal officers of her house hold.

The principal event of the day was The Nautical Steeplechase for 5,000 F., the amount of a Handicap of 5,000 f. each, and 2,0001. added by the proprietors of L'► Marche. Distance about 1,800 yards, the principal feature of which was to cross the river, upwards of 50 yards in extent. (Six entries ) Mr. Byrne's Forester 1 Mr. Flood's The Tout The start was made from the hill, Forester and The Tout taking the lead, followed by the ruck to the sheet of water, which the whole took in gallant style, accom panied by tremendous shouts of appause at this " novel racing." After sundry attempts to shake off their jockeys and enjoy g bath, the horses arrived at the opposite bank, but had some difficulty in getting once more on terra firma. Forester was the first to emerge, followed by The Tout ; the two continued their course to the winning stand, where Forester was hailed the victor with much applause. The rest dropped in in a dripping , state one by oue, but of course beyond the " ducking,' nothing like racing was expected. At the weighing post the jockey of Forester coolly took his seat to be weighed as if he had ridden an ordinary course, when a general laugh occurred, and the weighing of the jockeys was taken as au fait accompli.—Galignan of yesterday. AQUATICS. GRAVESEND AND MILTON REGATTA. A very excellent regatta took place yesterd,sy at Graves end, which it may readily be conceived, at such a crowded summer resov, was at the present period of the season very largely attendc I. The t )vvn and terrace piers were crowded with spectators, and the water was covered with pleasure boats. The weather was very favourable for such sport up to half-past seven, when Gravesend was visited with a severe thunderstorm, which soon dispersed the visitors, and cleared the river of boats. The regatta VVA3 under the patronage of the Earl of Darnley, the mayor of the town, and other persons of consideration, and the prizes were very liberal. The sport commenced at abcnt 11 in the morning with a scullers' race a►norgst free watermen for a new boat and various other prizes ; the second man having 51., the third 31. 10s., the fourth 31., the fifth 21. 10s., and the sixth 21.

The third sitting of the court was held on the 12th, and was very numerously attended. A number of Ottoman functionaries were present. The interrogatory of Mehem med Aga, aide-de-camp of Salih Pacha, which had been suddenly broken off at the previous sitting in consequence of the President finding it impessible to elicit from him anything like a direct answer, was continued. The priso ner was in irons, which appeared to embarrass him very greatly, for he was frequently heard to exclaim in a plain tive tone the words Allah ! Anzah (my God ; pardon). The President, after recommending the prisoner not to act as he had done on the former occasion, but to avow the whole truth, commenced his interrogatory :—" Where did you first see this Toultcha girl, called Nedela ?" " I was one day going to Matchin to execute a commission given me by the Paella." The President here interrupted the prisoner, telling him that it was useless for him to enter into these roundabout details, and requested him to give direct answers to his questions. He then asked him, " whether he had not seen her near the door of an inn, and whether in answer to a question put by him to her, she had not said that she had something to say to the Pacha ?"—Tho prisoner answered in the affirmative. " Did she reply to 3ou in Turkish ?"—" Yes." " Are you certain of that; reflect before you answer ?"—" Yes, I am certain of it." " When you left for Varna did you not see this girl ?"—" No." The prisoner accompanied his reply by the word Wallah the usual Ottoman oath, but he was told by the President that it was not necessary for him to make use of oaths; all that was required of him was to speak the truth. Kis answers, however, continued to be extremely vague. The President ordered Moustafa to b 3 brought in, and, addressing him said, "You have hitherto been sincere in the avowal of your crime. lam about to put some further questions to you, reflect and reply candidly." The Prosi dent then alluded to the part of the former interrogatory of Moustafa relative to his arrival at Varna, to which place ho had been sent beforehand by Hussein, to ascertain whe ther Mehemmed had found an inn for Salih Pacha. None had been found, but Hassan Pacha, governor, the to whom Salih Paella had sent a letter, had kindly placed his house at the disposal of his colleague. Tue President then pro ceeded with his questions to Moustafa. " You heard the pacha speak of this girl ?"—" Yes." "And you spoke of it to Hussein; was it to yon that the pacha spoke ?" " No." "What did Hussein say when you related to him what the pacha had said?"—" He was very uneasy, and said, ' What is to ho done with this girl ?' " Was not Mehemmed present with Hussein at the time ?'•—" Yes, he was." To Mehemmed : "You have heard the declaration of Moustafa; do you remember the fact he mentions?"— " No, Ido not. What he states might have taken place, but Ido not remember it." To Moustafa : " Did Mehem med know that the girl came with you from Toultcha to Varna ?"—" Yes, certainly he did." To Mehemmed ; " What do you say to this declaration ?"—" I was com pletely ignorant of the presence of. Nedida." "It was you who were sent to Varna to look for an inn for the pacha. The governor of that place, to whom you addressed your self, had heard of the abduction of the young girl. He mentioned it to you, and said, 'I hope it does not con cern you ;' to which you replied by a falsehood, pre tending a complete ignorance of facts with whi c h y ou were well acquainted. What instructions did you receive from the pacha on leaving Toultcha? Did he not tell you to accompany on the road a young girl, and to attend to her wants ?"—" The pacha simply told me to apply to Hus sein for the expenses of my journey, and to deliver two letters which he gave me." "Did you not know that the pacha had ordered Hussein to have the girl lodged sepa rately during, the journey, dressed in male attire, &c. ?"—" I know nothing at all of all that." " We wish to know what diiections the pacha gave on the subject of Nedela?"—" I re ceived none; it was Hussein." " What did the pacha say to him ?"—" You must find a good lodging for you know who." " Did Nedela leave Toultcha on foot, on horseback, or in a carriage ?" "Iu a carriage ; but Ido not know whore she got into it ; I did not see her."—lt appeared clear from the manner of the prisoner that he knew better, but would not or dared not speak tke truth, and ho was sent back to prison. The President then ordered Hussein, the in tendant of the pacha, to be brought in, and commenced his interrogatory. The prisoner appeared much altered since his last appearance, and his countenance was that of a man of the greatest brutality. " How long hadyou known the Bulgarian girl before youleft Toultcha ?"—" For six or seven days." " How did you first become acquainted with her?"—" Mehemmed came to me one day and told me that a girl wanted me, who had something to say to the paella. I spoke to her, and she told me that she wished to embrace Islamism." The remainder of the answers of the prisoner was such a string of prevarications that the President at length sent him back to prison, and then commenced the examination of Vacil. Ills evidence was nothing mere than a recapitu lation of the facts stated by Moustafa as to the murder of the girl. At the conclusion of his interrogatory tug court again adjourned. Some reports were circulated yesterday afternoon of a probability of a new Russian loan for 50,000,000 roubles, or about 8,000,000/. sterling, but they were believed to be without foundation. LITERAT I / 4 Physiology and Calisthenic s fa r Schools and Families. By Catherine E. Beecher.. Sampson Low, Ltd gate-hill. - It is well known that physical. deterioration, too frequently accompanied by mental and moral in feriority, is, in the aggregate, to be imputed to our want of knowledge of the construction of the human body, and the neglect of the simple laws of health. Heads of families seldom pay sufficient attention to the habits and practices of those under their charge, which are connected with exercise and dietetics. Mrs. Beedaer's volume is • just the work' which ought to be in the hands of all who desire to thoroughly and healthily devolope the constitution of a rising generation. It .imparts a system of physiology - and social treatment well adapted to inter,lst the uneducated, and at the same time fully satisfy the intellectual and enlightened mind. It embraces the gist of all that is to be found in the works of eminent English, Fronch, and. Swed ish professors ; but rendered in such a plain and popular form as to be perfectly comprehensible to the most uninitiated reader. It coutains a chap ter of well-directed censure against the old and crying evil of the tight lacing of girls and women in order to procure a "beautiful figure"—such a* figure, by the bye, as Rubens or Titian never selected to grace their invaluable canvass, and which our modern artists of real genius quietly sneer at. _ The abuse, of Dress are also sensibly pointed out ; but we fear that Fashion, like an insolent, presuming ignoramus, as she is, will ever hector and bully that simple old lady, Nature, into the background of Civilisation. Fashion is the most mischievous tyrant that ever damaged and distorted the perfect productions of our Almighty Master. Now,. she, insists on divesting us of the black, brown, and golden tints distinguishing our tresses, and treats us as a cook does poles for frying—with a horrible smotheration of flour and lard. Anon, men must carry a "pig's tail," in addition to the human proportions ; and women must walk about with story upon story raised upon their cranium, looking as though they were hired to exhibit a dirty model of the Tower of Babel. Slashed velvets and trunk hose must be donned at Fashion's bidding, and satin trains of ridiculous and inconvenient length obsequiously tolerated. Cocked hats and knee buckles are ordered, and forthwith are deemed the only available "mode." Hoops and toupees are pronounced to be elegant, and of course are 'the rage." Some years since, the Damons were to charm the Syl vias by the aid of blue coats and buff waistcoats, and, the Sylvias were to fascinate the Damons beneath the shadow of an Oldenburgh Poke. At present, the aspiring gallants offer their devoted hearts under cover of a free and easy tweed Paletot, and gentle dames parade the city streets in the modest concealment of feature be stowed by a gauze or silken imitation of a scallop shell. Fashion is truly a capricioui, inconsistent, vulgar /deity to Worship ; but, we repeat, that it will be a hopeless endeavour to convert her fol lowers to'the creed of Common Sense. Such works as the one now under notice are efficient agents in disseminating the practicability of " knowing ourselves ;" and parents and teachers would do well for their children and pupils in amalgamating: a portion of such knowlete with the Muiic, French Fancywork, Dead Languages, Mathematics, and Logic, so eagerly pursued in the present age, and so frequently of little benefit when acquired. The Channel Islands. By Octavius Rooks. Booth, Regent-street. How many there are who, like Johnny Gilpin, "on pleasure bent," go prancing off to Italy, Switzerland, Germany, South Africa, North Ame rica, and other far-away, foreignation places, with out possessing any knowledge of the beauties closer at hand 1 They rave of Chamouni, but are igno rant of the exquisite mountains and dales of Der byshire and Wales. They indulge in extatics about the Lagoons of Venice, but have never seen the moon rise over the lakes of Westmoreland. They can dilate largely on the Rhine, but cannot expa tiate on the Wye. In fact, a prevailing notion appears to exist that we must go a very long way off to see anything worth looking at. The little volume before us has suggested these remarks. We aro often surprised that among the myriad of Continental touris►.s so few should take the Channel Islands in their route. Jersey, Guern sey, and Sark contain scenery of the most varied and charming character, and, moreover, they lie within a short and inexpensive digtance. Let any lover of nature perambulate the bays and valleys of Jersey, and he will confess that the little island is an enchanting one, and that he might go much farther and behold less beauty. Mr. Ruoke has s ipplied us with a very acceptable guide-book in this publication, for we believe there is no work of the kind in print relating to these fair spots of etrtb. The illustrations are faithfully given, and are unmarked by the romantic exaggerations too frequently evident in such sketches. The letter press gives much useful and entertaining matter, and those who wish to derive healthy enjoyment at moderate expenditure daring a short recess can not do better teen put Mr. Rooke's book in their carpet-bag and take a ramble through the Chantrl Islands. Davidson's Musical. Opera Books. G. H. Divid- son, Peter's-hill, Doctor's-commons. This publication is a great boon to the opera frequenting public. The Italian and English libretto, with the music of a considerable number of the finest melodies i►► each opera, are presented at the lowest price possible ; and a prefatory ex planation of the story, so generally needed in these mysterious lyrical dramas, together with the full description of scene and action, are given ; form ing the most complete and desirable brochure extant, as an operatic hand-book. The most "verdant" novitiate and the yawning habitue may alike congratulate themselves on the issuing of this useful work, which we are glad to see is supplied to the audience at her Majesty's Theatre in lieu of the old and far less elucidatory stylo of opera books. Tasso and Leonora. By the Author of " Mary Powell," tir,c. Hall, Virtue, and Co. This author is already favourably known to the public by her success in a new and peculiar depart ment of fiction. Her narratives are for the most part the histories of some well-known characters, supposed to be written by themselves or by some one immediately connected with them. Of course this style of narrative requires a greater degree of talent than a simple story, as well as necessitating a thorough acquaintance not only with the main incidents of the lives of the chief actors, but also of the manners and customs of the age in which they lived. In the arduous task she has undertaken she has, however, been very successful, as the his tories of Mary Powell, the first wife of Milton, and of Margaret Roper, the heroic daughter of Sir Thomas More, will, among others, prove. no subject she has this time selected is one not infe rior in interest to either—a subject that haS been the theme of poets and romancists, of historians and biographers, that has excited the sympathies and aroused the indignation of every successor generation of its readers, and that still retains the undying interest due to poetry, love, and socr6w. The book is supposed to be written by Ser Pante leoue, gentleman usher to Madame Leonora d'Este. Be is, or professes to be, a sober and peaceable personage, little disposed to share in the jealousies and factions of a court. He takes a lively interest in the fortunes of Tasso, however, both from per sonal friendship and from an early acquaintance with his father, Bernardo Tasso, the author of " Amadis de Gaul." The story is simply and natu rally told, or rather sketched—the little incidents and speeches, though described and recorded with ease and fluency, carefully preserving the indivi dual characteristics. Leonora is sketched with much skill and delicacy, which is a matter of some difficulty, as it is not easy to main tain a high strain of romance in the descrip- . tion of domestic details. The character of Tasso also is described with effect ; the vehe mence and absence of suspicion that belong to his character being forcibly contrasted with the Mal , a volence and craftiness of the Duke, so heedful of the honour of his family; and, observes Ser Pallift• leone, " When a prince, and that prince an Italian, gets into his head that the honour of his house is affronted there is no knowing what may come next." The volume concludes with Tasso's release and arrival at Mantua, where he meets his old friend, Ser Pantaleone, who is about to retire to a monastery, being disgusted with the world, owing to the death of his august mistress, the cruel im prisonment of his friend, and specially attracted by the excellent soups made by the brethren of St. Olivet. It has been objected to this style of work that it is apt to produce an injurious effect on its readers, leading them to suppose it real, and if not it cannot be interesting. Few, we should i mag ine, among the middle class of readers would be ignorant enough to fancy that this work was the veritable production of Ma lama Leonora's gentle , man usher, yet still feu er, we should imagine, ould compla.n of want of interest. It may, in deed, be instructive to some by impressing the leading events on their memories and directing their attention to historical subjects. The au thoress may be congratulated ou having teen suc cessful in an exploit which was certainly adven turous, considering the distance of the age and country and the celebrity of the characters. She has not, however, proved unequal to the undertak ing, and the present volume is likely to enhanoe her reputation. `., :: ~-, '.,:. ~ r• It ,'l' isul, lion, Ted .able and from rrect y the iifax, ning, ),000 r the rpool j{~? ~~ 100 100 all all all all 100 all 100 10 100 100 all [OO all all !100 100 100 130 100 100 all ell 1100 82s. 41 261 10 St. st. 50 41.
