The imports last week were trifling. The stocks of colonial wool in London are as under :—Cape, 7,918 bales ; Sydney, 2,692 ; Port Philip, 3,340 ; Van Dieman's Land, 150; Adelaide, 161; New Zealand, 900; total, 15,161 bales. CORN EXCHANGE. Most of the country markets held on Saturday were scantily supplied with wheat. The demand was by no means active ; nevertheless, in some instances, prices had an upward tendency. Fine barley and oats were the turn dearer, and all other kinds of produce were firm in prises. On the Continent wheat is rising in price, with a good demand for Spring shipment, and Spring corn has com manded very full prices. In the United States both wheat and flour have become dearer. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very limited. _ The imports from abroad amounted b 10,563 quarters of wheat, 2,829 barley, 3,638 oats, 1,455 beans, 900 peas, 8,818 linseed, 7,345 rapeseed, 325 sundry, 1,522 sacks and 11,602 barrels of flour. Owing to the severity of the weather very few samples of wheat, from Essex and Kent, coastwise, were on offer, and the arrivals by land carriage were muchrestricted. Holders were very firm in their demands, and some of them refused to sell except at an advance of Is. to 2s. per quarter. The demand, however, ruled steady, at fully last week's cur rency to Is. per quarter improvement. The general quality of the samples was very middling. There was a large show of foreign wheat, but it was chiefly composed of grain and samples. Good useful quali ties were disposed of to a fair extent it full quotations; but other kinds moved off slowly at late rates. Fine barley was scarce, and in good request at very full prices. Inferior samples were firm in value, but the demand for them was much restricted. There was a moderate sale for maltat late rates. The quantity on offer was trifling. Oats advanced 6d to is per quarter, sad the demand for all kinds was steady. Beans and peas fully maintained their value, owing to the limited supply on offer. The flour trade was steady, but tb3 large quantity of American on offer checked prices. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL lEASITRE.

FEROCIOUS ATTACK OF THE PERFORMING LIONS ON THEIR KEEPERS. This morning a most alarming circumstance occurred at Astley's Royal Amphitheatre, owing to the escape of the whole of the lions, the pro perty of Mr. Crockett,:from their den, which occu pied a place very near the stage. At about a quarter before eight this morning, the men who usually attend to cart away the manure were startled by the loud roaring of the lions, but as they had on former occasions heard somewhat similar sounds they proceeded with their work as usual: The noise, however, did not subside, but on the contrary increased, and in a few minutes the men were horror struck at behold ing one of the lions struggling with a man named Jarvey, a yard helper in the establishment. Mr. Crockett's animal keeper was instantly sent for, and arrived in a very few minutes but, he not having the power over the infuriated beasts that Mr. Crockett had, immediately sent for that gentleman. On flag arrival of Mr. Crockett he rushed on to the stage, where the lion was running about with the unfor tunate man Jarvey in his mouth, to all appearance quite dead. Mr. Crockett instantly seized a stable fork, and dealt the lion a heavy blow on the side of the head, which caused it to let the man go ; but, instead of running away, it turned round and seemed inclined to spring upon his master. Another powerful blow, however, made the enraged animal turn round and run away. Medical aid was immediately sought for poor Jarvey, but on the arrival of the surgeon life was found to be extinct. After the body of Jarvey had been removed Mr. Crockett went in search of the three lions who were now roaming about the theatre. One was seen running about at a remote corner of the stage, another was in the arena, and the other could not be seen. The lioness was the first that was attempted to be secured, but this was a work of extreme danger and difficulty, as the assistants were all afraid of even approaching the beast. On seeing Mr. Crockett the lioness made a dash through the pit saloon, from thenee she rushed tp the box staircase and entered one of the private boxes, and took up a most threatening attitude. No thing daunted Mr. Crockett entered the box placed a leathern collar round her neck, and having secured her head, she was hauled out of the place by ropes and finally placed in security. From the private box Mr. Crockett saw another of the animals playing on the stage with a quan tity of ribbons and stage properties, and with comparatively little difficulty it was placed again in the cage, and after a few minutes search the third was recaptured. At half-past seven this morning the watchman of the theatre, who is on duty all night, left, at which hour, he says, all was perfectly quiet and safe, as he partially noticed the lion's den. In consequence of the large lion being unwell it had been parted from its companions, and it is supposed that in en deavouring to join it one of the three lions in the other compartment of the cage must have broken down the partition and thus displaced the iron bars. The greatest excitement and consternation pre vailed for some time in the theatre, and it required Mr. Crockett's utmost persuasion to convince the attendants that no further danger need be apprehended. _ _ A very searching inquiry will be made into all the circumstances connected with the unfortunate event before the coroner. CRIMINAL CoURT—Jam. 7. OLD COURT. The January Session of the Central Criminal Court com menced this morning before the Lord Mayor, the Recorder, and the Sheriff. The Recorder's charge was very brief owing to the shortness of the time since the court last met and the few prisoners awaiting trial. A number of indictments found at the last session for perjury and conspiracy in reference to the great leather trade frauds will have to be disposed of, and they will be placed on the judges' list on 'Wednesday. The judges who will be present are the Lord Chief Baron, Mr. Justice Blackburn, and Mr. Justice Keating. LITER4TURE. The United Service Magazine. The presentatitn of a library composed of pro fessional works to the officers at the camp of Alder shot, by his Royal Highness the Prince Consort, is deserving of commendation. It is by acts like this that he will win the affections of military men in general. There is yet, however, another branch of the service which requires the consideration of those high in authority. The literary requirements of the rank and file have been hitherto much neglected. We trust shortly to see this important branch of our army attended to. A short chapter on the gift to the officers of Aldershot commences this number. The paper on " Our Military System" is rather voluminous ; but while the writer enters into all the abuses which at present exist in the service, he does not form a fair estimate of the moral character of the British soldier at the present time. He forgets that the working classes in gene ral are notoriously addicted to drinking, and if their proceedings are more obvious from the fact that their excesses are perpetrated in publichouses open for all to see them, there are many holding higher stations in society whose morality, with less ex cuse, stands no higher. That a great improvement would be brought about in the social position of the soldier if more care were taken to provide him with the means of rational occupation and amuse ment, is patent to all who have studied the sub ject ; but it is not fair to abuse the whole army on account of a few mauvais sujets to be found in all regiments. "Revolutionary Agents in the Art of War" contains someinteresting details of the cannon in use in the fifteenth and sixteenth centuries, of the general improvement in ordinance, and the complete alteration of the principle of naval war fare by the introduction of steam. " Sir Howard Douglas on Iron-plated Ships" is an exemplifica tion of how a man of ability may be carried by prejudice as far in excess on his own side of a question, as his adversaries are on the other. That this all-important subject should be fully discussed we feel to be necessary, but there is no reason why, in a subject of national importance, writers should stoop to individual abuse. We are happy to see that the Government is not rushing blindly into the construction of new ships before the best principle of naval architecture is fully proved to the satisfaction of all reasonable men. For our selves, while entertaining the highest opinion of iron for ship building, we feel convinced that the "wooden walls of Old England" will still walk the waters, despite the iron rams of our Gaelic neighbours; and that the English seamen will in future times have as little taste for "long bowls " as they had in the days of Nelson. And when once the yards of two contending ships are locked, armour plates will not offer much check to the English tars, when the cry of " Boarders away" rings along the decks. " Suggestions relative to Safety Valves" furnishes an insight into the pos sible cause of accidents to the boilers in steam• boats : 5: 8 8 0 6 1 0. t 18 s 6d 61. t 0 43,898 72,632 —6 Od —s Od 2,124 1,357 51,111 55,314 1,569 1,363 81 6° 2,928 100,852 59s 6d 61s 9d LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.)

On the whole, however, both beasts and sheep appeared in good condition. A fair average time-of-year supply of beasts was received fresh up this morning from our own razing districts, and the quality of each kind was tolerably good. The present severe frost having checked the consumption of butchers' meat, the beef trade was in a very sluggish state. at barely last week's currency. From the eastern districts we received about 960 Scats and shorthorns ; from the northern, 1,600 shorthorns ; from other parts of England, 800 various breeds ; from Scotland, 90 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 80 oxen, &c. We were seasonably well supplied with sheep, and most breeds came to hand in somewhat improved condition. On the whole, the mutton trade was steady, at full currencies. The extreme value of the best old Downs, however, was 6s per Blbs. The supply of calves was trifling, and the veal trade ruled steady, at very full prices. There was a fair consumptive inquiry for pigs, at quite last week's currency. Per Sibs to sink the offal. s. d. s. d.` s. d. s. d.

Then, should anything occur to the working valves to check their proper action (with old boilers), a serious accident would be the result. Now this may be guarded against by the simple application of levers acting on the bottom spindle of the Government valves. The levers may be easily arranged in such a manner as to transmit their action from the exterior to the interior of the boiler. These means are applied to ordinary working valves, and if intro duced for the Government valves, would enable the engi neer to keep them in working order, without offering him greater facility to increase their load more than at present allowed him. Surely such an adoption would be more satisfactory to the engineer than the present arrangement. " The Extension of Portsmouth Dockyard" con tains a history of the rise of that all-important yard, from an insignificant harbour to its present vast extent. The number is completed by a " Few Remarks on Recruiting, and the Limited Service Acts of 1847," and a paper by Sir E. Cust, " Annals of the War." Bentley's liliscelleny. u The Constable of the Tower," the new romance by William Harrison Ainsworth, takes the first place in the present number. The story commences, as the heading of the prologue intimates, at the close of the reign of Henry the Eighth. One can seldom form much idea of a romance from the first few chapters. But the name of the author is so well known to the public, that the fact of the publi cation of a new fiction of his in any periodical must render the same more interesting to the public. The following remarks upon the character of Henry the Eighth, although the language may be con sidered rather strong, comes not up to the deserts of, without exception, the most tyrannical monster who ever ruled this country. It is to be born in mind that we have statistic records that no less than 70,000 individuals were put to death during hie reign. The marvel is, that the iron yoke he placed upon his sub jects was endured. But he had a firm hand, as well as a strong will, Crafty as well as resolute, he framed laws merely' to deride them and break them. He threw off the Pope's anthority in order to make himself supreme head of the Church. Some were executed by him for maintaining the Papal supremacy, others put to death for denying cer tain Catholic tenets. To prove his even-handed justice, Romanists and Lutherans were linked together, and con ducted in pairs to the stake. At one moment he upheld the new doctrines; on the next, he supported the old reli gion. Thus he used the contending parties for his own pur poses, and made each contribute to his strength. The dis cord in the Church pleased him, though he feigned to re prove it. His councillors trembled at his slightest frown, and dared not for their heads give him honest advice. His Parliaments were basely subservient, and confirmed his lawless decrees without an effort at resistance. A merciless system of religious persecution was commenced and carried out according to his changeful opinions. The fires at Smithfield were continually burning. The scaffold on Tower-hill reeked with the blood of the noble and the worthy. The state dungeons were crowded. 'I orture was applied. Secret examinations were allowed. Defence was denied the accused ; and a bill of attainder smote the unfor tunate person against whom it was procured as surely as the axe. The wisest, the noblest, the bravest, the best of Henry's subjects were sacrificed to his resentment and caprice. Up rightness could not save More and Fisher, nor long services and blind obedience Wolsey and Cromwell. Age offered no protection to the octogenarian Lord Darcy, and piety failed to preserve the abbots of Fountains, Rivaux, and Gervaux. But not alone did men perish by the stern behests of this ruthless tyrant, this worse than Oriental despot, but women I—women of incomparable beauty, who had shared his couch, and had every claim upon his tenderness and compassion. But pity was not in his nature. When love was gone, dislike and hate succeeded. Startling and almost incredible is the history of his six marriages. No parallel can be found to it save in wild and grotesque fiction. It reads like a Bluebeard story, yet, alas! it was fearful reality. Katherine of Aragon, faultless and loving, was divorced to make way for the lovely Anne Boleyn, who, in her turn, vas decapitated to give Olen to the resistless Jane Sey mour. The latter lived not long enough to weary her ca pricOus consort, but was succeeded by Catherine of Cleves, whose want of personal attraction caused the annul ment of her marriage and Cromwell's destruction. Next came the bewitohing Catherine Howard, who was butchered like Anne Voleyn; and lastly, Catherine Parr, saved only from the block by her own spirit and prudence, as will be presently related. Twice was the nuptial knot forcibly untied—twice wes it sundered by the axe. Pretexts for his violence were never wanting to Henry. But the trials of his luckless spouses were a mockery of justice. The accused were prejudged ere heard. The king's pleasure was alone consulted. From his vengeance there was no escape. When it was a question whether the beautiful Jane Seymour's life should be preserved, or that of the infant she was about to bring into the world, Henry unhesitatingly sacrificed the queen, brutally observing, "that he could readily get other wives, but might not have other children." But not only did young and lovely women suffer from his , barbarity ; venerable dames fared no better. Execrable was the manner in which the aged and dignified Countess of Salisbury , was slaughtered. A list of Henry's victims would swell pages ...• _th.e: T a oa ra r ; ber is almost incredible.

" Paris of To-day" is a lively description of Paris as it was in old times end what it is now. " Mingle Mangle," by Monkshood, is on the subject of mimetic music, and is written with the usual talent of the author. "Our Carps' Friends and Foes," by Oujda, is of the ordinary stamp of this gentleman's productions. "Augustus Czeser : His Court and Companions," takes us back to the classic times of Virgil and Horace. The most amusing contribution this month is, however, the review of " Trials of a Governess." The work .in question emanates from Berlin, and if it did not excite our mirth, its absurd falsehoods would rouse our indignation by the gross libel which it contains on the British character, but we can laugh at the remarks which a people like the Prussians may make about us. Slaves to their police, deluded by the semblance of a constitution, they live on in happy ignorance of the real liberty enjoyed by a free people. "The Fate of Fauriel." by Dudley Costello, is. like the other production of this author, highly entertaining. The Cornhill Magazine. The nornhill Magazine for January begins with the opening of a new tale by Mr. Thackeray. It is written in his delightful colloquial style. Here is a happy specimen : LONDON LIFE FIFTY YEARS AGO. " Old Parr-street has been a habitation for generations of surgeons and physicians. I suppose the nobleman for whose use the street was intended in the time of the early Georges fled, finding the neighbourhood too dismal, and the gentlemen in black coats came and took possession of the gilded, gloomy chambers which the sacred mods vacated. These mutations of fashion have always been matters of profound speculation to me. IV by shall not one moralise over London, as over Rome, or Baalbec, or Troy town ? I like to walk among the Hebrews of Wardour-street, and fancy the place, as it once was, crowded with chairs and gilt chariots, and torches flashing in the hands of the run ning footmen. I have a grim pleasure in thinking that Golding-square was ones the resort of the aristocracy, and Monmouth-street the delight of the genteel world. What shall prevent us Londoners from musing over the decline and fall of city severeignities, and drawing our cockney morals? As the late Mr. Gibbon meditated his history leaning against a column in the Capitol, why should not I muse over mine, reclining under an arcade of the Pantheon? Not the Pantheon at Rome, in the Cabbage-market by the Piazza Novona, where the immortal gods were wor shipped—the immortal gods who are now dead ; but the Pantheon in Oxford-street, ladies, where you purchase feeble poniaturus, mu s i c , g l assware, an d b a b y- li nen ; an d which has its history too. Have not Selwyn, and Walpole, and March, and Carlisle figured there ? H as not Prince Flo rizel flounced through the hall in his rustling domino, and danced there in powdered splendour ? and when the ushers re fused admission tolovely Sophy Baddeley, did not the young men, her adorers, draw their rapiers and vow to slay the doorkeepers ; and, crossing the glittering blades over the enchantress' heap, make a warlike triumphal arch for her to pass under, all flushed, and smiling, and perfumed, and painted ? The lives of streets are as the lives of men, and shall not the street-preacher, if so minded, take for the text of his sermon the stones in the gutter f That you were once the resort of the fashion 0 Monmouth .street 1 by the invocation of blessed St. Giles shallll not improve that sweet thought into a godly discourse, and make the ruin edifying? O ?nes freres ! There were splendid thoroughfares, dazzling company, bright illuminations, in our streets when our hearts were young : we entertained in them a noble youth ful company of chivalrous hopes and youthful ambitions ; of blushing thoughts in snowy robes spotless and virginal. See, in the embrasure of the window, where you sate look ing to the stars and nestling by the soft side of your first love, hang Mr. Moses' bargains of turned old clothes, very cheap; of worn old boots, bedraggled in ho-v much and how many people's mud ; a great bargain. See ! aleng the street, strewed with flowers once mayhap—a fight of beg gars for the refuse of an apple-stall, or a tipsy basket woman, reeling shrieking to the station. 0 me! 0 my beloved congregation ! I have preached this stale sermon to you for ever so many years. omy jolly companions, I have drunk many a bout with you, and always found vanitas vanitatzon written on the bottom of the pot !" " Framley Parsonage" contains this month a mar vellous incident, interesting to all who remember " Dr. Thorne." Like Mr. Thackeray, Anthony Trollope delights to introduce again and again the heroes and heroines of farmer romances. To both authors " the beings of their mind" are real individuals, and as such they cannot suffer their existence to fall into oblivion, and we expect the readers of their fictions, for the most part, sympa thise in their opinions. " Falling in Love" is an article that will not please the romantic, for the writer considers such a calamity perfectly optional, and to he indulged in or avoided, accord ing to the common sense of the parties concerned. The Navy forms the subject of two sensible papers, "Reform in the Navy" and "All at Sea with the Fleet." "The Portrait of a Russian Gentleman" describes one Anton Antonovitch, " who held sin, soap, and razors in almost equal detestation." " The career of an Indian Officer" gives an interesting account of the rise and pro gress of Sir James Outram. "Chinese Officials," " Light Vessels," " The Parochial Union," and " Wrongs of my Boyhood" fill the remaining pages of the Cornhill, which is this month mere than usually diversified in its contents. Bailey's Magazine of Sports and Pastimes. Sir Tattoo Sykes is represented this month, and his biography will be perused with interest. "A Shooting, and how to Manage and Mismanage it," is an amusing sketch of how two greenhorns rented some shooting, and how they prospered. The paper on Masters of Foxhounds is a consideration of the duties of a master, and how he in general enters on them. " From Oxford to the George" is continued, with its usual ability and off-handed style. The continuation of " Bear Shooting in Russia" contains further hitts for the benefit of would-be bear slayers. The sporting intelligence for the month is given, and other information to interest geuilemen of the turf. One of Them. By Charles Lever. Parts 14 and Conclusion. Although this work does not in some respects take rank with many of Mr. Lever's earlier productions, such as" Charles O'Malley," and " Torn Burke of Our's," yet in the variety of characters introduced, and their clever delineation, this book deserves favourable attention. The bold and straightforward American stands out grandly in contradistinction to the crafty Irish 11. P., whom, after all, we cannot but wish success from the cool impertinence of his daring; he proves himself to have the national pride of his countrymen, and throw' over the designing and unprincipled Mrs. Morris, 'c hen he discovers her real character. As we fore told in our last notice, the doctor and his son suc ceed in oversetting the schemes of Troyer and Co., and the widow of the murdered Godfrey Hawke finding all her plans frustrated, - departs into obli vion in company with her father, and does not again present herself to the reader. Alfred Layton marries Clara. and Charles Heatthcote does the same for May Leslie. And so we take leave of all of them. LETIE.R OF GARIBALDI. The Atnico della Liberta, a Reggio journal, pub- lishes the following letter addressed by Garibaldi, in November last, to some Nespolitaas who urged him at once to return to Naples. It entirely confirms the general rumour that the ex-dictator intends to resume his sword in the month of March : Italians of Naples,—That it was painful to me to leave you, God knows. My mission to you, how ever, was fulfilled, and 1 could not but take my leave. I did so with an aching heart. Yeu now, by your complaints, add to my grief. You ask me to return among you. I cannot, oh my friends, because I have resolved with myself never to let my presence be an obstacle to your happiness and pros. perity, which you will find accomplished under the sceptre of the King galant'uomo. Believe me, then, when I say that if my mission is to deliver have the Italian people from slavery and tyranny, I done it, oh Neapolitans, through your strength and your courage. Yes, you are free, and pres encem it y would , on among you would be of no a dvantag the contrary, retard your progr ess.

Do you hear the lion roar? His roaring is that of rage, be cause he knows that his pride is about to have a fall. He fears that arm which God has made powerful enough to bring him down. Do you see the descendants of the ancient Romans ? The blood of their ancestors yet flows in their veins, but they are prostrate on the earth—their faces are in the mud, and they are borne down by overwhelming oppression. They require a hand to raise them up, and that hand stands in need of rest to recover strength for the task. Let reason and fraternal philanthropy second your love for me. I will be with you in four months. You shall see me again, but then I shall require a proof of your love. If you really love me, which I do not doubt, follow me, my dear fellow-citizens —follow me, when we shall unite to deliver our brethren of Rome and beautiful Venice. Then, contented and united, we will constitute an Italy one and independent under the sceptre of the King galant'uomo. Victor Emmanuel. Adieu! At the end of March we will embrace each other. Caprera, Nov. 11, 1860. G. GARIBALDI. * The French paper from which we quote this letter thinks it prudent to leave a blank here. Garibaldi evi dently meaßi to refer to France. 9 i d I
