MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocK The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed very firmly at previous prices. The sales eonsisted of 8,000 bales, comprising 1,000 for ex port and 1,000 on speculation, including 800 Per nam and Maranham sid. to 61d., 60 Bahia, 6d., 100 Egyptian 51d. to 9d., and 700 Surats 3id. to sd. per lb. The Railway Share Market was buoy ant at a considerable advance. The Belgian Government have published a state ment of the operations relative to the amortisation of the National Debt from the Ist July to the 31st December, 1855. During that period the nominal capital raised on loan was 2,489,000 francs, and the receipts at the public treasury 2,193,556 francs. The total amount effected up to this date is 44,833,451 francs. The Minister for Foreign Affairs has intimated that in conformity with the treaty between Belgium and the Low Countries, the duty on coffee crossing the frontiers will hence forth be reduced, the particulars to appear at an early day. Accounts from Spain announce that the Minis ter of Finance has resolved to withdraw his pro jected measure for altering the import duties, and to establish an import upon all spirituous liquors, BO as to raise an equal amount of revenue to that Which was contemplated by increasing the duty on imports. The sale of the Government domains con tinues most satisfactory, and the total amount now disposed of by public auction hasreached 77,119,919 reals. The quit rents have also increased to the sum of 23,755,311 reals, and the number of indivi duals who have settled this sum are upwards of 6,000. Letters from Berlin state that an increased busi ness had been done in wool since the commence- 50 anent of the year. Although the quantity exported NI : during the past 12 months was smaller than usual 80 the stocks were not much larger than in former 3 years, and if extensive arrivals from Russia had not 201.1 i taken place a scarcity would have been experienced. St. It was thought that an active demand for France ; :) t. would arise owing to the reduction of the duty on 10 wool, and enhanced rates were expected to be I-2t realised. Bt so The Shalimar, Australian Mail Packet, has ar- 40 rived at Liverpool with dates to the 14th Novem- 25 ber from Melbourne. She bring s g o ld o n freight st 25 . to the value of 320,0001. The mail bag has not been 8 2 delivered yet, but is expected in the course of the r t. day. The corn trade is generally very dull, and prices tend downwards. The market for English Securities is very dull, and the quotations have been almost stationary. As the account day is near at hand the dealers are making the usual arrangements, and the change made "carrying over" is again heavy—viz. to per cent. Money continues in active demand, and the stringency recently experienced is increased by the large amount of mercantile bins that has to be pro vided fur to-day, this being the " fourth " of the month. Consols have been 901 all the morning for money and the 7th inst., while for March the quotations are 91 to 911. The New 3 per Cents. are 911 and the Reduced 90-T, to 91k. Bank Stock is 211/ to 213. Exchequer- Bills aro 10s. to Bs. discount, and India Bonds 9s. to Gs. discount. Some of the principal Foreign Securities are heavy. Danish 3 per Cants. are 84. Grenada Active, 29i /. ; ditto, Deferred, 71, and Mexican 2 01 t. Peruvian Active Bonds are 1 lower, being 801, and the Threes are weaker, viz., 55k. Sardinian have been at 89/ and 90. 1 urkish 6 per Cents. 92i for money, and 93 for account, and the 4 per Cents. are 100/ to 101. Spanish 3 per Cents. rule at 42k, the New Deferred at 231 to 24, and the Passive at 6/. Dutch 21 per Cents. brought 64i. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks:—Grenada Deferred Bonds, Gi 7i; Mexican, 2 :Peruvian, 80 82 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 55 57 ; r Olillgiese 4 per Cents., 47 49 ; Russian 5 per Cent., 103 106 ; ditto 4 per Cents., 92 94 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 42f ; ditto Deferred, 23i 4 ; ditto Certificates, 6 ; ditto Passive, 4i b. Railway Shares are also at rather lower prices, and the decline in several instances is ss. per share, but the dealings are limited. The Foreign . lines are firm. Paris and Lyons have risen 15s:' Great Western of Canada are lower. A fair business is doing in Miscellaneous Shares about previous prices.

Stour Vy, of spring corn, including flour, wore heavy and drooping. The continental markets continue very dull, and a de cline to some extent has taken place in the general quota tions. From New York we learn that there was a fair demand for flour on export account. The arrivals of English grain np to our markets last week were very moderate. From abroad we received 17,674 quarters of wheat, 7,291 oats, 5,824 beans, 15 tares, 7,539 linseed, 12,678 rapeseed, 110 sundry seeds, 1,326 sacks and 11,955 barrels of flour.

A few sales of fine malting barley were reported at about stationary prices, but all other kinds were 2s cheaper. A s regards malt there was literally no inquiry for it, and prices had a downward tendency. We were well supplied with Irish oats. The sale for most kinds was heavy, and prices were in favour of buyers, viz., frem is to 2s per quarter. There was a very slow inquiry for beans, the prices of which were drooping—viz., 2a. per quarter. Peas moved off slowly, and the quotations were not supported, the fall being is per quarter.

Of Irish beasts there were exhibited 270, of sheep 150 haad, chiefly via Liverpool. Compared with Monday last the receipts of home-fed beasts wore considerably on the increase, and nearly the whole of them were in prime condition. Most breeds were in but moderate request, at Friday's decline in the quota tions of 2d per 81bs. The highest figure for beef was 4d per Sibs. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 2,500 Scots and short horns; from other parts of England GOO of ♦arious breeds ; and from Scotland 280 horned and polled Scots. We were moderately supplied with sheep, but most of them ware in good condition. The mutton trade was by no means so active as on this day se'nnight, and all breeds of sheep sold at Friday's decline in value of 2d per Blbs. The top figure for Dawns was 4e 10d per Blbs. The show of calves was very limited. The veil trade, however, was less active than on Friday, yet last Monday's currencies were supported. A few very superior calves realised Gs 2d ; bat the general top figure was 6s per 81bs. We had a fair sale for pigs, the supply of wlich was moderate, at last week's prices. fellows in the boxes laugh and crow over the practical jokes ! It is such rare fun to see Clown stumble over a baby and crush its head like a pancake, and double it up into the cradle. 0 glorious to see a shopkeeper's window smashed, and his coat torn off his back ; to see Clown burning the potatoes and licking the roast, and throwing carrots and turnips about the stage ; to see Pantaloon pitched into the pot, and turning out a plum pudding; to see Clown's head cut off, and the body running headless about the stage, the head crying out for the body,—glued on to the shoulder, and so happily united that Clown takes a leap through a window, and tumbles bask as well as ever through the grating below ; to see the sucking-pig running about, arid given to the nurse instead of her lost child ; to see Clown for all his iniquities put into a great gun, with lots of powder, and shot to perdition, next hanging like a caitiff from the top of the theatre, and suddenly fivping down on the devoted heads of first and second fiddle in the orchestra. Hip, hip ! away, you little wicked-eyed youngkers, and when you go home put the poker in the fire, Master Jacky, turn in your small toes, and with your redhot plaything burn holes in the tads of papa's coat, while Sarah Jane dances about in all the ecstacy of Colum bine." Jie last sentence is nothing more nor less than a reminiscence of one of those delicious little sketches of Christmas-time in John Leech's glorious " Pic tures of Life and Character." After this very read able essay on " The Drama" comes a singularly un readable and tediously ill-timed paper headed " Lessons from the War"—just as we are agonised by sinister doubts and fears as to the chances of a dis graceful Peace, the attempted patching up of which is to begin before the 20th of this present February. At the close of the current number of Blackwood's Magazine there is, to crown all, a brief but genial tribute of praise to the Rev. John Caird's eloquent and practical sermon upJn " Religion in Common Life," the sermon recently preached before the Queen, and just now published by her Majesty's command. University.—The remarkable story of " The Fortunes of Glencore " is again resumed, but its progress is not very rapid in this number. The gloomy recluse, Lord Glencore, accomplishes his vow, in informing his son of the unhappy mys tery that hangs over his birth, and the result is that the boy rushes off in a state of distraction. The cautious Sir Horace Upton endeavours with his plausible sophistries to smooth matters, but to little avail, and at the termination of the present part, the wretched object under dispute is left dan gerously ill at a• little cabin, where lie had taken shelter. The amusing tale entitled " Love in Curl- Papers" is continued, and is interesting; there is something very pleasing in the character of Bea trix, she is simple and unassumin g , an d th e Pro fessor is described in a natural man ner . Th e peace ful tenour of the time that the four passed together on the banks of the Rhine is a pretty sketch of rural life, and if, as is observed, its continuance tended to monotony, it was Rot the less a bright dream of the past, to shine out vividly amid the lowering ca lmclouds of fut ure ex i s t ence . Th e was transient, however, for circumstances compel led the German student to depart, and while li!s English friend was endeavouring to account for his strange disappearance, lie, too, was called upon to leave, as be received a letter from his father, de nouncing his mode of life, and repudiating the idea of his forming an engagement with Bea trix. The Professor and his daughter were left to speculate on the attractions the world over exercises on its votaries, however they may declare for a time that they are willing to give up " Its pomps, its pleasures, and its nonsense all." " The Doctor in the Witness-box " enters at some length into the late strange occurrences connected with the Burdon case. " Novels and Novelists " contains some curious specimens of old ti mes. It is remarked that what are now comidered synony mous terms were then very different, namely, ro mances and novels, and that, in speakin g o f th e difference in length between them in the " Curio sities o f Lit era t u re," Disraeli felicitously observes —" Our grandmothers were incommoded with over-grown folios ; and instead of finishing the eventful history of two lovers at one or two sittings, it was sometimes six months, incitcding Sundays, before they could get quit of their Delias, their Cyruses, and Parthenissas." An instance of the antiquated style of writing is given, by sele c ti ng " The Palmer's Tale," by Eobert Greene, who lived in the Elizabethan age. It is interesting to trace the diversity of composition, as com pared with the productions of the present day. An article is devoted to the considera tion of " Macaulay's History of England," in which the brilliant author is called the " Homer of Modern History," it is remarked that it is a phenomena in the world of literature to witness the infusion of passion into the narrative of truth ; to find a parallel to it, we must go back to the ago of the demigods and heroes of a primeval world. After a skilful criticism of the volumes, the writer of this article concludes by deprecating with jus tice any " infusion of party spirit" into so great a work. Blackwood.—The learned Recorder of Hull is the hero of Maga for February. His earnest and in many respects really masterly oration upon " Labour : Its Rights, Difficulties, Dignity, and Consolations"—a lecture the dimensions of which to our regret precluded us from transferring it to our own columns from those of our Hull contem poraries—has been made the theme of a felicitous and thoughtful essay from the pen of a writer evi dently skilled as a reviewer in the pages of Black wood. Besides which have we not from his own hand—the humorous preliminary chapter of canine autobiography, entitled "Tickler among the Thieves." A rather surprising supplement (as it proves) to the twodeliglhful contributions published in the October and November numbers of Maga, papers simply headed " An Old Contributor at the Sea Side," but altogether unmistakeable as the productions of Mr. Warren, though emanating from him under the transparent mask of the strictly anonymous ! Surprising indeed, we repeat, is the little episode here recounted by Mr. Warren in the life of 'Tickler—Tickler, be it observed, of the Isle of Skye, and not of the Noctes Ambrosianm. Sur prising in two ways—firstly, ivasmuc{ as the loss of Tickler was a quarter of a year since foresha dowed as by a sort of presentiment ; ukecondly, as the "Old Contributor" then wrote in Elackwood, hypothetically, as M.P. for somewhere, bafore Mr. Cloulburn's demise, before Mr. Walpole aspired to represent the University of Cambridge, be fore the borough of Midhurst was opportunely vacated, to the end, as it were, that through it, as thiough the most natural channel in the world, the autlaor of " Ten Thousand a Year " might follow i.e. the footsteps of his own Charles Aubrey until they conducted him within the walls of the :Tug lish Parliament. There the readers of Blackwood cannot but be right heartily glad to recognise WI os, if for nothing else, for the sake of the famous masse r piece already mentioned, and for the sake, too, esf its no less memorable precursor, " The Diary of ia Late Physician." Another collective criticises, under the broad heading of "Modern Light Li - terature," weighs in a balance of Ebony certain% recent contributions to English poetry—distribut ing sugar-plums and raps of the ferule to these c Bentley's Miscellany.—" The Question of the "true brothers," as the Maga-critic calls them— Day" is the title of the opening article in Bentley's Mr. Tennyson, the eldest of the group—Mr. .Ifiseellany, and of course takes into consideration Dobell the sulky boy—Mr. Brownin g th e t o t s - IA he pending negotiations.

A notice of Mr. iTingston's book of " Western Wanderings" gives s , me amusing extracts relating his Canadian expe ri 9nces. A paper on Russia on the Black Sea an 'lt the Sea of Azoff is 101111(104 on Mr. Seymour', reco at work, and furniShes the reader with some nova •1 information. An essay on " Umhealthy E m ,c,loyments" pr esen t s some s t r iki ng su bj ec t s f or the L !onsideration of employers and workmen. It not tinly shows the evil, but the means by which it may be evaded, or at least ameliorated, by so Lie of those simple rules so invaluable in thei,!: effects, but so often disregarded. It is not , perhaps, generally known that one of the m o it fatal employments is that of the workers in flax in Of these net one in 2,079 is found alive at ; 'O, while out of 110 gardeners there are 10 who h. tve reached this perio of life. It must be mentioi led, however, that the latter occupation is the most healthy, persons in independent cir cumstances being generally the longest livers of any. This is easily accounted for by their exemp tion from tl. '6 cares and anxieties that press upon those who ha ye to earn their living, besides their absence from ',he injurious action of the different ftrticles of man ufacture, dm, such as the prejudicial effect of the st one dust upon masons, and of the oxide of lead on the workers at glazed earthenware. The thirty-fifth number of the "Literary Leaflets" furnishes us wi th a criticism on Dr. Liddell's " History of Re me," which gives the historian credit for adegiL ate scholarship, clearness of ar rangement and et , rle, and calmness of judgment, but laments the al; s.ence of the depth or originality of view, the ener ‘ ca of grasp, the penetration :into character whiclA are to be desired in such a work. " Stoke Dotterell" is completed, and beings the troubles af_ its hero and heroine toa satis- failtorytermination. " The Bonfire at Temple liar" is at boisterous cavalieir song, whose style may be best imagined from the supposed singers. It is desoribed as " sung bar a party of merry fellows, dresse d in dirty crimson and yellow satin, as they lean ovt of the window of a Fleet-street tavern, May 16,60." It is anonymous, but the style is similar to some productions of Mr. Thornburg. The secon d part of " The Alchemist's Daughter contains the conclusion of that melancholy history. This is on e of those translations from the German, which, bee r unmistakeable evidence of their origin in theAr murders and banditti, unfortunate attach ments, an d all sorts of mystic horrors and senti mentali vni.

We doubt it. We are disgraced as a mili tary nation even in the eyes of our allies, and con• tempt has heretofore proved as dangerous as re venge ! Talk of Waterloo being avenged ; that had been good had our rulers and commanders not taught the French soldiery to despise our own. "Bete," " cochon," "cancatio ;" are these epithets to elicit from our mercurial allies for the heirs of those who fought at Waterloo—for men who were never second in valour, endurance, and generosity during the siege ? The number contains much useful information about the East and the war, here and there enlivened by pleasant gossip. The Law Magazine opens with an eulogistic but discriminating article on " Sir Samuel Itomidy ; as an Advocate, .a Jurist, and a Legislator." A map. whose name, it is justly remarked " awakens every feeling that responds to all that is good, and noble, and elevated in human nature." Among the more noticeable articles may be mentioned " The Eccle siastical Courts in Ireland," " The Present and Past state of Doctor's Commons," an d "O n Un soundness of Mind, inits Medical [and Legal Con siderations." LITERATURE. Fables Nouvelles : suiviescle Poesies Diverses. Par le Chevalier de Chatelain. Whittaker and Co. The translator of "Gay's Fables " into French, appears before us, in this charming little volume, himself as an original fabulist. The Chevalier de Chatelain has mastered not only the barbarisms of our own vernacular—but the harsher language of bird and beast ; insomuch that he takes rank among the Mezzofantis of the aviary and the zoo logical garden, a disciple at once of Gay and Pilpsyl of .2-Esop and La Fontaine. Turning over his plea sant pages it is like gaining a new sense—at the first rustle of the leaves we are listening to a sage dialogue between the elephant and the scorpion ! Another flutter of these same leaves and we are overhearing a confabulation between a candle and au eclipse ! Another, and we are hearkening to a chance talk between a tiger and some moun taineers. It is a glimpse, again, of Fairyland. The glamour is once more. Upon us. We are crowned, as it were, with the Cap of For tunatus. We are striding over the hills in the seven-league hoots of Hop e' my . Thumb. We have a loan from Jack the Giant killer of his sword of strength and his shoes of swiftee3s. Closing the book and returning to every-day life—it is like the Princess of the Magic Pantomime leaving her spangled tunic, and her tinselled crown, and her glittering wand, to walk home in the gaslight and the snow, in a grey shawl and a straw bonnet. Apart from the " Fables," however, the book before us has its eccentricities. It is dedicated "Au Poete Henry Waileworth Longfellow," in terms so high-flown that they must infallibly have soared far over the head l/f the object aimed at, but that that happily chmte ed to be at somewhat of the loftiest altitude—homt'ge, that is to say, to the genius of the truest and loveliest of the poets of America ! The "good taste" of the dedication, howbeit, nasiy reasonably, we cannot but think , be called in question, when it is remembered that words of praise to Longfellow are jumbled up confusedly with gibes at "le 21 Mars deruier, Fast Day ! co jour ou l'llypocrisie, l'Odioux, et l'Absurde, Trinite toute puissant° en Angloterre, and jeers at " l'affa,ire Ruaorable Francis Villiers, fils du Comte de 'Jersey, et Membro du Parte tnent pour Rochester, et bien d'autre encore ! ! !" The italics, by the way, being the Chevalier's own, and so too, for that matter, being likewise the notes of admiration. However, M. de Chatelain is a brave man—and that is the secret of it all—other wise we should never haVe him, for instance, cele brating the terrible legend of " Le Juif Errant," we won't say after Sue, but after Beranger ! After that wonderful refrain— "Toujours, toujours, Toujours, toujours, Tourne la terra uu mei js cours, Toujours, toujours, toujours, toujours." Among the minor pieces' in the volume under notice, entitled to commendation, are the charming stanzas "Je voudrais etre"—stanzas conceived in a strain kindred to that exquisite Chanson in the "Miller's Daughter' of Tennyson— " And I would be tbo girdle, About her dainty dainty waist, And her heart would beat against me In sorrow and in rest ; And I should know if it beat right, I'd clasp it round so close and tight." Sweetest morceatt of all the book, however, to our mind is incomparably " L 3 Reve D'un Petit Ea fant"—beginning " Comma it eat heureux mon grand frilre, Qu'il est heureux d'avoir six ens ! Tandis que je fais tnn pribre Au bal it va, nest-co pa,, mere ! Au bal de ;rands petits enfants Ah qu'il est heureux mon grand fr'ere, Qu'il est heureux d'avoir six ans !" Gentle is the heart of the Chevaliir de Chatolain, say we after that. If eccentric may be his taste sow and then—gentle is his heart and lively are hi s imaginings. The Oxford and Cambridge Magazine.

A public meeting wa s convened at the Town-hall, Ryde, on Tuesday last, for t he p ur p os e of discmseing the and, in the, and Simp son, vi h o are onerta iff ;and Messrs. Bendel and Fulton, the engineers, d merits of the proposed s team brid g e . The obj acts were lucidly explained t o the meetin g by Messrs. Ylothings y direc t Webster, !rs: Barrow, ando lc D Locally interested eers, attended to give an explanation of the engineering details car the project ; and as it is somewhat of novel charactet• it m ay net be unininteresting to state the prineye • I features. It is intended to make a short extension railway fro va Gosport to Stokes Bay, off L•inglesea, where a pier, similaY to the Liverpool Floating Landing Stage, will run out into' sufficiently deep water to accommodate steamers at all times of tide, and will supersede the present necessity of a change of dtnveyance between the Gosport and Ports mouth Railway Stations and the steam-boats. Between this pier and the Ryde side, a floating bridge will tra verse a distance of three miles (instead of the present route between Gosport and Ryde of five-and-a-half miles) in about twenty minutes, at half-hour interval', with passengers, goods, and cattle, and with the gre atest regularity, so as to work in with the London train', and thereby reducing the time of the journey between Lou. don and Ryde to three hours, instead ot; as at present, from four-and-half to five hours. Such facilities will be given as will erable horses and carts, or carriages, to drive on and off the floating-bridge b y a moveable stage, which will land or embark them with great ease and comfort at all times of tide, at the Ryde Esplanade. The steadiness of the bridge is such, that horses and etrriaees can be conveyed with the least possible risk or inconvenience. As this will ever be the principal rout• to and from the island, it is said the traffic will be very andit h as been credibly stated that the pre sent Ryde Pier p great, as a 5., in dividends and b onuses 15 per c ent., there can be but little doubt that the project would give a handsome return upon •20,000/., this being the proposed amount of capital. It is also pro posed to establish ri line of steamers between Stokes Bay Pier and Home, by which the journey between London and Havre can he made in two hours less than by the present route, and also will shorten the sea pas• sage by 18 miles, and save the inconvenience and ex pense of a change of conveyitiere for passengers and luggage between the Southampton station and the steamers. It would also be a convenient calling place for the steamers running between New York and Bre men. A series of resolutions were proposed, and unani mously adopted, in favour of the Stokes Bay Railway Pier and Isle of Wight Steam Bridge, and a committee, consisting of inhabitants of the t own, was appointed, to co-operate with the directors carrying out these , undertaking. • lOW elf! at ,; tb: vibe ..4 a i stee• athe ,0r8 0 ) )030 11 , )1) o' car Ldol' tO to of Past oe i l I to 1071 24 92 61i 33 4
