MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLooK The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed quietly but firmly, without any material change. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales, 500 for export and 1,500 on speculation, comprising 220 Perham and Maranham, at 611. to 71d. ; 100 Bahia, 6d. ; 100 Egyptian, at 61d. to 7d. ; and 1,000 Surat, 41d. to sd. per lb. The Railway Share Market closed steadily, at a slight decline. The advises from New York state that money continued very abundant, and the weekly returns of the City banks exhibited a steady extension of discount operations. At the same time, owing to the influx of gold from Calfornia, the bullion was increasing, and on the 21st ult. it amounted to 17,871,9551. The accounts from the Western States reported an extensive business in grain and large supplies frOm Illinois and Wisconsin were expected. The new crops were sufficiently advanced to enable the farmers to estimate the probable yield, and almost all parties anticipated it would prove abundant. . . The Arabia, arrived from New York, brings 4 1 )570,30g ; the Ericsson, from the same place, $201,000 ; and the Oliver Cromwell, from New South Wales, 500 sovereigns—making a total of about 354,7621. The continual shipments of the precious metals to the Continent, notwithstanding the exchanges are unfavourable for such operations, and the large amount sent away by the Euxine to India and China, last week, have given rise to the impression that the next Bank Return will show a slight diminution in the stock of bullion. It is, however, probable that several vessels are near at hand from the Austra lian Colonies with large supplies of gold, and ,that the steady augmentation of the precions metals in Threadneedle-street wiil not be arrested. The demand for money in Lombard street continues quiet, and in several instances bills have been been negotiated at a fraction below 4 per cent. The Market for Public Securities continues dull, and the business transacted is of a limited charac ter. Preparations are now in progress for the settlement of the account, and this be ing " making -up " day attention is prin cipally diverted by the necessary arrange ments. Consols for money have been 95i 1. Special transfers have been made at the same quotation. The Scrip is 41 premium. The New Three per Cents are 96/ to 97, and the Reduced 96 to 961. Bank Stock is 2184, being firm. Ex chequer Bills are 17s. to 20s. premium, and the Bonds 1001 In the Foreign Market there is verylittle activity. Turkish 6 per Cents. have risen to 1044 a 105, and the 4 per Cents. to 1061. Spanish 3 per Cents. are 461 ; the Deferred ditto, 24/ ; and Sar dinians 921. Russian 41 per Cents. have declined t o 99 - There have been dealings in Austrian 5 per Cents. at 871 ex dividend, Buenos Ayres at 87 to 88, and Dutch 21 per Cents. at 65. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks;..-Grenada Deferred Bonds, 71 8 ; Mexi can, 221 3 ; Peruvian, 81 83 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 5 7 9 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 49 51 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 112 114 ; ditto 44 per Cents., 98 100 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 464 ; ditto New Deferred, 241 5 ; ditto Passive, 61 7. Railway Shares are generally at lower prices, but the decline is not very important. Great Northern, Bristol, and Exeter, and one or two others, may be quoted as exceptions, being firmer. The French and Colonial lines maintain their previous value. Paris and Lyons have risen 1/. .Rigas have been in demand at an improvement to 41. The Euphrates are a s prem. ; Ceylons,ll prem. ; and Bengals, prem. In Mining, Banking, and miscellaneous descrip tions, the bargains are not numerous.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day)• Leasta: Compan, Cloain4 rrhutif this dal. ~ amass this ta• The July Session of the Central Criminal Court was opened this morning by the Right Hon. the Lord Mayor, the Right Hon. the Recorder, Alderman Hunter, and Sir F. G. Moon, Mr. Sheriff Rose, Mr. Under-Sheriff Stone, &c., &c. - There are 57 prisoners for trial. The Recorder delivered a brief charge to the grand jury. He said that, owing to the short period since the adjournment of the court, there was a much smaller number of prisoners than usual, and none of the cases were likely to present any difficulty. Ha regretted to observe that again upon the present occasion there was a ranch larger proportion of charges of burglary than was usual in the sunttner season ; and it also appeared that a great majority of these offences were committed by liberated convicts. Whether the increase in this very serious description of offence was to be attributed in any way to the abolition of the punishment of transportation be was not prepared to say ; but it certainly was a fact that since the introduction of the new system of punish ment the crime of burglary had greatly increased, and a considerable proportion of the cases were traced to have been committed by convicts who had been liberated in this country. The Recorder then said there was one case in the calendar, in which, however, he believed it was doubtful whether a bill would be presented, but in case that course should not be taken, he would briefly state what the law was upon the subject. The case to which he referred was a charge against a medical gentle man named Snape of having caused the death of a luna tic patient in the Surrey County Asylum, by exposing him to a very severe and long-continued shower-bath. Now it appeared that since the abolition of the old sys tem of restraining lunatics by chains and similar means, the plan of lowering them by the use of the shower-bath had been established and found very beneficial, and al though in the particular instance death might have re sulted from the use of this remedy, yet, if the grand jury should believe that the person accused had exercised or dinary skill in his profession, and that there had been no improper want of caution, but merely an error of judg ment, they would not be justified in finding the bill, as it would be very hard to make a medical man amenable to the charge of manslaughter under such circumstances. The grand jury then retired to their room. JULY 7. 1856. IVIAR.KET NEWS.—(This Day. CORN EXCHANGE. Most of the provincial markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat, yet all kinds moved off heavily, and prices had a downward tendency. There was very little inquiry for spring corn, at barely previous rates. The continental markets are rather dull for wheat. Holders, however, continue to be supported. The mar kets in the United States are still largely supplied. The arrivals of English grain up to our market, coast wise, were limited. From abroad we received 3,970 qrs wheat, 4,098 barley, 30.581 oats, 364 beans, 36 tares, 1,795 sundry seeds, and 2,586 brls flour. Fresh up to our market to-day the arrivals of wheat, ooastwise from Essex and Kent, were limited, and those from other counties were small. By land carriage the re ceipts were trifling. Notwithstanding that the show of samples was small, the demand for all kinds ruled very inactive, and, in some instmices, prices were the turn in favour of buyers. Millers generally hold unusually light stocks, and the condition of the samples was tolerably good. We were very moderately supplied with all descriptions of foreign wheat ; nevertheless, the trade ruled heavy, at almost nominal currencies• There was less demand for floating cargoes of grain on continental account. Scarcely any English barley was in the market ; but the supply of foreign was on the increase. The trade ruled heavy, at barely last week's currency. Malt was in short supply, and limited request, at late rates. There was a large quantity of foreign oats in the mar ket, and the oat trade was heavy, at 6d. to is. per quarter less money. Beans were in short supply and heavy re quest, at ls. per quarter less money. There was a mode rate sale for peas, at last week's currency. The flour trade was dull, and prices were barely supported.

The intense heat which succeeded the late rains has produced conditions under which vegetation has progressed with tropical rapidity. On some of the cold clays where the plant had been much starved, at an early period of the spring, by keen winds and severe frosts, wheat and other cereals occasionally look thin, and in some few cases yellow ; otherwise they are luxu riant, and present that dark green appearance so gratify ing to the eye of the agriculturist. On drained and well. cultivated soils the strong stalk and broad flag-like leaf are striking. In more forward districts they are just breaking into ear, and under like favourabl e con dition give pr o mi s e o f a compensating harvest to the husbandman. Turnips have not escaped the ravages of the fly, notwithstanding the stimulating conditions of manure and atmosphere; some of the late-sown more especially so. Clovers and grasses present mar nifioent appearance, and the measured strokes and sharp whetting sounds from the fields tell that hay harvest has commenced. heavy swathes everywhere fall hef bre the scythe, and if the present sunny weather is continued fine crops of hay will be secured. The boisterous winds and intense cold of March and May have made sad work with some of the fruit blosioms in exposed situations. Potato plots look luxuriant, and the cottage garden, upon which the poor in-n often re-ta his hone, gives promise of abundance: Wolverhampton Chronicle: - During the past week we have had most delightful weather, which has made a very perceptible difference in the appearance of the crops. The early wheat looks exceedingly fine, and there is every prospect of an abun dant harvest. The potatoes in the neighbourhood are strong and healthy, and we have not heard of any dis ease being discovered in them. The hay harvest is pro gressing very rapidly, farmers taking advantage of the fine weather to save their early crops. The shears gene- rally are good ; and a great quantity has been carried during the week. There will be a great scarcity of apples this season, the orchards look very bad, the leaves of the trees being completely eaten with insects. Some farmers will nut be able to make enough cider for their own use.— Western Times. The fineness of the weather during the past week has been the means of securing in good order a considerable portion of the hay crops in this locality. The yield is considered to be one of the largest ever known. The wheat in this neighbourhood looks well, and the barley prevents a tolerable appeannce.—Salisbury Journal. THE HAY HARVEST AND THE CROPS IN CAMBRIDIFI SHIRE.—The hay harvest has began in earnest in our own district, and "in the hayfield" is the almost gene- ral answer as to the whereabouts of any labourers. We are happy to be enabled to state that the prospects of the proprietors are most che e ring, a n d that there is a likelihood of plenty of grass food for the equine genus, at low prices, which, however, the weight of the crop will render remunerative to the producer. Cutting com menced about ten days ago, but was somewhat retarded by the showers at the end of last week. These took the colour a little out of such as was down, but did not spoil it, there not being enough wet to extract the virtue ; and altogether it will make remarkably good fodder. The after crop is very promising, and the showers spoken of have done as much good to this as harm to what was in the swarth. These remarks apply to the clover also. Among the barleys there are a great many blacks or false ears; in some pieces as much as one-fourth of the crop is thus affected ; a remarkable specimen of this may be seen between the stone bridge and Trump ington, and a second at Stapieford. Barley, however, is reported a crop large enough to stand this drawback. Oat- Ind wheat are very promising, the latter as regards both ear a n d straw. W urtzel has failed in places. There is plenty of sheep-feed, the clover and trefoil being re markably good. —Cambridge Chronicle. LLOYD'S SHIPPING. —(This Day.)

There was a slight increase in the arrivals of home•fed beasts compared with Monday last, yet the supply of that description of stock was by no means large. For most breeds we experienced a slow trade, at last Monday's currency, the advance in the quo tations on Friday of 21 per ftlbs being lost. The best Scots sold at from 4s 10d to 5s per Blbs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 1,200 Scots and home-breds; from other parts of England, including Lincolnshire, 1,030 Scots, shorthorns, ; from Scotland, 300 Scots; and from Ireland, 65 oxen, Although we were fairly supplied with most breeds of sheep, the mutton trade ruled steady, at Friday's improve. ment in value of 2d per Sibs. The best old Downs realised 5s 8d per 81bs. About 1,200 sheep and lambs came to hand from Ireland in fair condition. The show of lambs was tolerably good, and most breeds were in request, at Friday's improvement in value. Prices ranged from 5s to 64 per Blbs. We were fairly supplied with calves, which moved off steadily at from 3s 101 to 3s 2d per Blbs, being 4d per Elba above last Mondays currency.

On Foot through Tyrol. By Walter White. Chapman and Hall, Piccadilly. Mr. White is a tourist in the true and sensible acceptation of the word. He is, we presume, en dowed with the supreme blessings of health and strength, and we also presume is not overburthened with either time or money for luxurious or frequent " holiday making." On the trinity of these cir cumstances he starts, with his knapsack and staff only, for a fortnight's trip through the beautiful and romantic land of the Tyrol—scorning the mo dern facilities of boat and rail, except on particular occasions. A tourist of Mr. Pi hite's intelligence and perception does wisely in thus choosing the manner of travelling which affords the most ample opportunities of seeing, hearing, and comparing all about him. Monks, peasants, soldiers, officials, and artisans are all portrayed with graphic deli neation by him. Mountains, lakes, valleys, towns, and villages are freely described in an artist-like tone, which literally refreshes the reader, and sets him longing to experience such scenes and feelings as the following extracts convey : " It is delightful to walk down a valley on a breezy morning, when the sun shines brightly, and grass and flowers and drooping branches twinkle with dewdrops, and the damp shadows slant across the road, and the sky rounds the landscape in with a blue deeper and more transparent than we ever see overhead in our own island-home. The trees increase in number and variety ; cultivation becomes more fruitful ; the river widens and brawls down a succession of rapids and cascades, where in places the rocky sides come so near together as to leave space only for the road. Now a hamlet; now a village ; now a few scattered hovels, and meadows in which the im• paled haycocks look like tall beehives." * * * * * " The Rosanna, which we saw yesterday a wimpling brook, is here a thundering cataract, heard afar. Down it shoots to a hundred feet below the road, there to meet an island and hiss and rage in deeper plunges. A torrent leaps in on the right, falling on a rock from which it re bounds in a graceful foaming curve to the river. I sat down under the shade of a clump of firs opposite to gaze on a scene that fascinated the eye as well as the ear ; and gratified another sense by the wild strawberries that grew plentifully on the bank. There is something to me inex , pressibly refreshing in the mighty roar of a river after months of the roar of a great city." "I took the footpath again, and in another - half-hour dropped down upon Mals—Markt-Mals, as runs the in scription over the entrance, denoting the place to be some thing between a village and a town. Just within, a foun tain exhibits a strange combination of the useful with the sacred ; behind the trough stands a life-size Christ, want ing the legs, pouring out a stream of water from an iron pipe inserted in its left side, at which a boy was drinking. dere women came to fill their buckets, and wayfarers and cattle to quench their thirst; and, under the circum stances, there seemed to me a risk of that familiarity which breeds contempt. In another street the tall cross bore the Virgin, in addition to its usual burden, with seven daggers sticking in her heart. " Having time to spare, I halted here two hours, and strolled into all the nooks and corners of the place. The churchyard lacks that which to an English eye is poorly replaced by attempts at ornament—green sward ; but con tains some showy tombs, their railings tipped with gilt hearts, and deaths heads painted of a bone cobur at the corners. The most frequent emblems are an hour-glass or broken taper. Marble tablets are numerous on tlte walls ; and others of tin, similar in appearance to coffin-plates, with rows of little pendants hanging loose, that swing to and fro in the breeze; and a hinged central piece covering a shallow recess, in which, when open, appears a painting of the deceased, led to glory by an angel. A few had, be aides, the whole family of survivors, in their ordinary dress, kneeling, and with eyes fixed on the aerial travel lers." Mr. White gives a very interesting sketch of the life of Andreas Hofer, the Tell of the Tyrol, which we regret is too long to be transferred to our pages. We must content ourselves with this morsel of in formation relative to a " real " patriot " A short distance beyond St. Martin, a pretty village that dazzled me with whitewash, I came to a wooden house on the right, which bears on its front a large emblazoned coat-of-arms, with the sign of the Crown (Krone). A projecting gallery forms at once a portion and outlet to each floor, from whence you may look down on the shed which, decorated by targets and overshadowed by trees, stands between the house and the river. You Lear the rustling of leaves, the plash of a fountain, and the swift roar of the stream. That house was the birth-place of Hofer." Throughout the story the rots4br hate re o eou esti mire the firm bearing, the unselfish conduct, and pure motives of the heroine. With one thing and another she had a great deal to try her to the utr most, but she did not fail in small any more than great virtues, which is so often the case in difficul- , ties of a domestic nature. Diana was an example to all circumstanced similarly ; she showed patient* and perseverance, two qualities very hard to bring to perfection. This is a narrative that will attract those who are pleased with the tales involved in mystery, and containing secrets of a momentous importance. The upright character of the heroine preserves the integrity of the plot from becoming a mere maze of hidden actions. Considerable in genuity is shown in the working together of small events, and the chance occurrences of daily life to bring about the denouement. It is all naturally done, and unexpectedly discovered, as is so oftet the case in real life, when great changes occur. "Diana Wynyard," in its style, has, therefore, great claims on the notice of novel readers. Randal Vaughan ; or, Self in Self-Sacrifice. By C. Warren Adams. 2 vols. T. Cantle) Newby. The author informs us that it is his first effort in fiction, and regarding it in that light it merits high praise as a very promising commencement. He had intended that the work should have been produced under the editorship of his father, the late Mr. Sergeant Adams. Circumstances having prevented it he now solicits the indulgence of the public for his unassisted efforts. This indulgence, however, is not much needed. There are not many of the faults which usually attend a first work of fiction. There are, of course, minor points which call for criticism, there are some decided im probabilities, and some exaggerated characters; but the plot is somewhat original, the incidents novel, and the whole story not devoid of interest. The style also is clear and straightforward, without any of those mystical metaphysics and elaborate reasonings that are now beginning to intrude themselves into prose as well as poetry. The chief features of the story are simple. The hero is a young lawyer who has become attached to the cousin of his only friend, Herbert, but does not feel himself justified in declaring his affection owing to his poverty. He, therefore, forsakes her society, and devotes himself to the study of his profession, and the pursuit of legal success for three years. At the end of that time, after many intervening events, he finds himself in a position to authorise him to come forward as the suitor of the Lady Edith. He hastens to her father's house with the intention of renewing his friendship, but is met by the direful news of the arrest of his friend Herbert, the earl's nephew and heir, for implication in Chartist conspiracies. He hastens to the prison, and finds that some unfortunate in discretions, aided by the malice of au old enemy, has placed Herbert in danger of conviction as one of the Chartist ringleaders. He also discovers that his friend had successfully rivaled him in Edith's affections, and that his ow n hopes, preserved through so many years of delay and difficulty, are doomed to disappointment. However, his i■ a noble and generous nature, and after the first shock is over he determines to devote himself to the happiness of his friend, and undertakes the management of his cause. The fatigue and anxiety he undergoes in his pursuit of a missing witness bring on a dangerous illness, from which he with difficulty rouseshimself to appear at the trial. The important evidence which he has obtained, aided by his own skill, procures for his friend a tri umphant acquittal. But when the need for exer tion is past the overtasked energies of Randal Vaughan give way, and after consoling his friend who has discovered his secret, and expressing his satisfaction, he dies. What is meant by the second title of the book is not exactly clear, as certainly the sacrifices of Randal Vaughan exhibit no signs of self-seeking. There are many other characters in the story, some of which play a prominent part. Altogether these two volumes furnish enough en tertainment to repay the reader for their perusal, and evidence sufficient ability to encourage the writer to further efforts. Deep in the Forest. Ballad by Venie Medhurat. The Gift of Song. Ballad by Vanie Medhurst. Chappell, New Bond street. . " There are relics here, too. Those targets, hanging in the shed, were his. From the numerous bullet-holes near the centre, you may infer what chance a Frenchman had at a hundred yards from his rifle. You may read his name and that of his wife in the blazonry of the sign : ANDRE VON HOFER UND ANNA VON HOFER, geb. LADURNER. His corpse was ennobled while it lay in the grave at Mantua, in 1318: hence the prefix von. You see the chamber and bed in which he slept ; on the wall hangs a crayon portrait of his comely daughter, and one of his last letters, written in a homely but firm hand. There are an old press, is which his clothes were kept, his green coat, and other gar ments, his girdle, and hat, bearing the words Ober-com mandant von Tirol." " Hofer's wife died in 1836 ; two of his three daughters were married in Passeyr; all are now dead. His son, Johann von Hofer, who had little of the father about him besides the name, and his grandson, were taken care of by the Court at Vienna; and some of the family connexions were provided for by being put in charge, as already men boned, of Schloss Tyrol ." While closing the volume, we can but hope that Mr. White may spend his next vacation in a way as pleasait to himself and as gratifying to the public. Diasia Wynyard. By the author of " Alice Wentworth." 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. It must be acknowledged by every one that the author of this novel possesses in a remarkable de gree the power of planning and designing the plot of a story. There is a great skill apparent through out, and though the incidents are neither nume rous nor extraordinary, the interest is kept 311 TO to the end. Nothing can be more natural than the character and conduct of Edward, one of those good-natured and easy tempers, who are universal favourites, and yet nevertheless contrive to become very often a torment to themselves and others. Edward Boscowen was incapable of a mean or dishonourable action, but he did not control himself. He was placed in a very awk ward position, it is true, socially, though by good management and straightforward conduct many perverse things might have been satisfactorily ad justed, instead of fuel being added to the fire by his selfish, careless, and obstinate demeanour. To hesitate is to be lost,Yought to have been graven on his memory as the watchword of his life, for his ideas of expediency and present ease required vigo rous treatment, not unwise indulgence. Clara Wood was a sweet, gentle creature, deficient in many requisities for her position, but at the same time deserving of better treatment. Had Edward at first confessed their marriage he would have begun with obstacles, it is true ; but the excite ment of his new position, and his strong attach went to Clara, would have been some counterba -1 ance to the vexation and annoyance. But the h esitating and slumbering fit came over him. He must wait for this to happen, or delay lest that should occur, all the while time was hastening on, and in its flight undermining the enthusiastic de votion that was to be eternal, and discovering fault. and deficiencies in a being who had been pro nounced perfect. Perfect in her very ignorance of the w.orld, in her artless and unstudied ways, in her implicit confidence in him, and accordance with all his plans, it is certain that only a placid, almost a, weak, character would have agreed to so absurd iln arrangement ; but the very virtues of Clara tha t won his regard were calculated to mar her happLuess afterwards. Her husband required rousing, not soothing. She yielded to one caprice after another, till he grew weary of her compliance at last, and. regarded her as insipid and trifling. An unequill union with regard to position should, to be at all: successful, contain in itself advantages that are superior to the accidents of birth or for tune. The one here referred to had none. When once Edward's triumph at having disregarded the social prejudices he so scoffed at was over, he was indifferent to the sweetness of temper, elegance of manner, and even affection for himself, that Clara displayed- Meanwhile another sufferer was made bye his marriage. Diana Wynyard, in every re spect as different to Clara as may well be imagined, was ie , Tolved in the intricacies of the mysterious affair, Ain her life was rendered a complete torment to her. She was generous in the extreme, and gave the . .promise unhesitatingly, which afterwards cost her ro dear, of never betraying the secret she surprised of Edward and Clara's attachment. This was not I Tudent, though she was in a delicate posi tion, as t he only prospect of fortune that Edward had at all in the world was that of his grandfather leaving hi in something. This relative had an in superable dislike to unequal marriages, and there fore Dian; o, felt that she might hereafter be accused of minim ; his hopes without achieving any definite good. T o complete the chain of trying circum stances b 3• which Diana was surrounded, was the fact of him • own attachment to,Clement Aylmer, a friend of Edward Boscowen's, who was of a most jealous as id sensitive nature. Edward was the brother o i Diana's sister's husband. Hence, as she reside d with her sister, and Edward was a con stant visit or, they were often together. Aylmer mistook t heir friendly relations towards each other for a elots4 3r tie, and many were the misconstruc tions that c arose. The secret was too well, to be wisely la apt of the secret union ; therefore, many besides., t he jealous Aylmer were deceived by the coudu .ct of Diana and Edward. The subsequent dam ones into which the latter was plunged were only nai,u ral from his hasty and ungovernable tern ?er, :vs well as his persisting in following the sug' gest iomg of his capricious and volatile disposi tic.] I. '];rewinding up of the story is ably arranged, an( 1 brings forward in a favourable view many se co, ada r y personages, as, for instance, James and J alia Boscowen, who, instead of doing like many ithei s, would have done in their place, leaving thin! to chance, being too offended to interfere in cone equence of not being told sooner, busied them selv es to the utmost in offices of kindness and good will , ao peculiarly called for at such a juncture. ,~ :~~ These two publications may be classed among the " pretty" music novelties on our table. Is youth and a good complexion form a warrant to apply the same adjective to a young lady, so a fresh title and smooth flow of notes constitute the claims in most of our modern ballads. Of the two before us we prefer "Deep in the Forest." The air is pleasing and easy, and well adapted to the powers of medittm voices. The words might have been somewhat better, but pro bably the title of the second ballad was not in the posseosion of the writer of the first. The songs are elegantly got up, and we can recommend them to the notice of those who admire the "pretty" style of composition. IRELAND. DUBLIN, SATURDAY MORNING. TILE SADLEIR FAMILY. A Tipperary paper (the Vindicator) states, as general rumour, that Mr. James Sadleir, who stands charged by the Master of the Rolls as being a principal in the gigantic frauds and swindles of his brother John, has fled to Sweden or Norway, where, in the absence of an international law, the fugitive is safe from arrest. The Vindicator adds : " A deputation calling on Mr. James Sadleir to re sign his seat in Parliament could scarcely find his where abouts under these circumstances ; and he has not, it would appear, intimated a desire to give up his place in the House of Commons, notwithstanding the disgraceful situation he occupies in the regards of the whole world. Until recent revelations developed plunder unprecedented in the annals of villany, it was believed that Mr. James Sadleir possessed no guilty acquaint anceship with the robberies of his late brother. The fact now appears to be otherwise ; and though it was asserted and believed, before the production and pub lication of the astounding letter of John, that James was anxious for the fullest inquiry into his own conduct in relation to the Tipperary Bank, &e., and though it is asserted he made exculpatory revelations to Master Murphy, he now, however, speeds his way from judi cial investigation, and taking precautions to keep his person out of the reach of the officers of justice is con veyed north -cards, it is supposed, in a vessel employed for that purpose. Meantime the country does not move! Discontent, bitterness, and anger are widespread. Those who confided are basely betrayed. Those who be lieved it impossible that guilt could have attached to James Sadleir now discover he bears a great part in the felonious transactions of his late brother. Those who initiated the movement for the county meeting are ap prehensive that there may be some hesitation or want of unanimity in naming a candidate. They have thought it better, therefore, to leave matters to their course for the present." Speaking of the recent revelations concerning the Kingston property, the Nation observes that the case of the Earl of Dredlington, in the hands of Oily Gammon—that most perfect prototype of John Sadleir—is a poor thing in comparison with the real unfortunate earl, who has been for the last ten years the victim of vampires : " The Kingstons (continues the Nation) are a family more or less fond of follies for the last three or four generations. One of them published a book upon Mexico so superbly printed, so magnificently illustrated, so gorgeously got up, that a copy could not be sold for less than 100 guineas. Another built a fine square of almshouses for decayed gentry, which is the first charge upon the remaining estate. In the utter decay of the plundered family, this very place seems likely to be the fate of some of its members. The last lord but one built, at most extravagant expense, one of the grandest castles in all Ireland. It sits in its stately splendour on a fair, oak-studded hill fronting the Galtee moun tains. The quaint Moorish tower and long buttress wall, the rich library, the lofty baronial hall, the chamber that was laid for a king, the garden that has grown into a wilderness of exotics, have taia there for years and years, as much Mr. John Sa i, c!•- leir's tenement as his chamber in 'the Albany or ..IS office in Great Denmark - street. H e bad given the key of the place, the run of the demesne, and the sweating of the tenants to a young gentleman, some distant cousin of his—a very pretty fief for one of that omnivorous clan. And now this strange Mitchell town mystery will be unfolded —how the old lord was induced to sign the docu me nts, binding himself as help ' lessiy in John Sa dleir power as it lie were his born bold slave ; and what became of the princely revenues of that splendid estate, the rents, and the fines on the liberal leases that helped, it was said, to get John Sad leir a good tenant-right character in the county of Cork ; and the loans that were never paid by the Tipperary Bank, and Cie loan that was paid by the Insurance Company to the Tipperary Bank, and that sank there as water sinks in a sieve—all this, in various romantic detail, will doubtless appear." ORDER OF ST. PATRICL. There are now three ribands vacant by the deaths of the Earl of Listowell, Lord Carew, and the Earl of Cork—all, by the way, general supporters of the present Government, and in all seasons consistent advocates of Liberalism. RELEASE OF MR. JOHN CARDEN. On Thursday, as already announced, the gates of Clonrnel gaol were thrown open for the e gress of Mr. J ohu Carden, of abductio n notoriety, who pro ceeded on horseback, as privately as possible, to .1.110 Limerick junction, en route to Cork, where he is to remain for a few days to brush up, then to re turn to Barnane, and afterwards to go to the conti nent on a visit to a relative.
