MONEY MARKET AND COMIYIERCIAL INTELLIGE?'.I:, CITY, Two The Liverpool Cotton Market on I..iatu z d ay closed quietly and firmly, but prices of al .] . descrip tions were unchanged from the full rat ': s of Fri day. The sales were 6,000 bales, I :' ; '_/00 for ex port and on speculation, infiluding, in. addition to Americans,lso Pernam and MarnahP.m, bid. to Bd.; 60 Bahia, 60. ; 100 Egyp• ;ian, 0...1 2 d. to 91cl. ; 300 Surat, 44d. to 51d. ; and 2 0 Sea Island, 12. W. per lb. The Railway Share : 7 Nlarket was dull, but quiet, and at the close of ousiness much weakness was manifested. The commercial report, of the French mark e t s for last week states that ti ie retail trade at 'Paris has been confined to the itimmediate wants of, con sumers ; and that the manufacturers of winter goods are becoming busier.. Purchases for expor tation have been limited, as well as Ydrovincial orders ; excepting in some special branches of trade, which require their commissions a month or two in advance. The speculations in 'silks, which has had the effect of raising the prices of the raw material, continue to command the attention of the Lyons manufacturers. A rr amour having been spread that the Credit 7 .olobilier Bank had entered into it, the directors of that institution have denied the statement. Mean -while the manufacturers 'nave disposed of nearly all their stocks on baud, and have been obliged to refuse numerouri orders in consequence of th.e high prices of our raw material. Some men tion is made of openin g shortly at Lyons an im memo° establishment, fr3r the sale of silks chiefly, in one •of the principal 'streets, which will rival the war( 'houses in the Louvre at Paris. The news from the other manufactr.ring departments contain no thing of importance. The manufacturers of cotton and woollen goods complain, likewise, of the dear nests of raw material, so that they are obliged to raise th( lir prices as well as the silk manufacturers. The Russian Government has suppressed the guarani ;Me regulations recently established in Bess arabia, and on the shores of the Black Sea and the Sea of Azoff. This measure has given much satisfact . ion, as it will give increased scope to com mercial operations. The reports from all the Souther n parts of the empire, with respect to the harvest are very favourable, and a larger yield was exp ected than in previous years. Advic es from New York have been rece!vecl to Sept. 2 ; per steamer Africa. These add very little commer , ?al information to that previously received, but it is mentioned that the City banks. continue to contr. act their loans and discounts, 'firictthe last official r eturn, for the week ending the 30th ult., showed ; a decrease in that department of $814,694. An it apression prevails in the City, especially among some of the subscribers to the Jerusalem Coffee-h ouse, that all of the Australian mail brought by the Sardinian, from Australia, which arrived I tut week, has not been delivered, and that one bag has been lost or mislaid. The tenor of some of the correspondence leads to this inference, Which is strengthened by the well-known general carelessness of those whose duty it is to forward these me ails from Liverpool to London. Owing; to the limited supplies of wheat from the country, and the small arrivals from foreign coun tries, an advance of 3s. to 5F,. per quarter was announced in Mark-lane this morning. The English Funds are quieter, but although they were heavy at the commencement of business they are now comparatively firm. Some parties contenting themselves with the profits within their reach are closing their Bear accounts, which has tended to strengthen the market, which, however, still exhibits an easier appearance. The demand for money continues active, and full rates are still charged for accommodation. Consols for money 'lave been 931 and 93i a, while for the account they are 934 Consols Scrip is 1 prem. Exche quer Bills are 13s. to 16s. prem., and the Bonds 998. Since the previous remarks were written, Con sols have advanced to 93 for money, and to 93i 94 for account. There are not many changes to report in the Foreign market, which rules dull. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been 1001 1, and since, 100,-1 7 6 ., and the 4 per Cents. are also depressed, being 104. ardinian are Spanish Deferred 251, Peruvian per Cents. soi, and Equador New Consolidated 15. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks : Grenada Deferred Bonds, 71 to 8 ; Mexican, 221 to 222 ; Peruvian, 80 to 82 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 57 to 59 ; Portugueso 3 per Cents., 45 to 46 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 108 to 110 ; ditto 41 per Cents., 97 to 99 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 44 ; ditto Deferred, 25 ; ditto Cer tificates, 5 6 ; ditto Passive, 6i 7. The arrangements connected with the settlement of the account in Railway shares, which is now in progress, are occupying the chief attention of the dealers. As the rates of " continuation " are high the marketrules heavy, and most of the principal lines have slightly declined. South-Western, Midland, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and a few others have been 10s. to 11. lower, but they are now firmer again. In the Foreign, the East Indian, and the Canadian shares there are but few dealings, which are effected at reduced quotations. Mining, Banking, and Miscellaneous descriptions are inactive.

Since the memorable 10 th of Apri!,lB4B, little or nothing has been heard of Chartism until to-day, when it was announced by the Executive Committee that a grand demonstration would be made ti welcome John Frost to London. Great efforts had evidently been made by the committee to produce an effect, and large placards were posted in the neighbourhood of Holborn, Lincoln's•inn fields, and all round the metropoli,i, inviting the working classes to assemble in thousands in honour of " the champion of Chartism, " John Frost. The placard also announced that there would be a large attendance of flags, banners, and bands, and that the assembled thou sands would, at an appointed hour, march through the metropolis ea route to Primrose-hill, where a mass meet ing would be held, over which Ernest Jones was to pre side, and John Frost was to deliver an address. The " democrats " of North London were to meet in Russell-square st 10 o'clock, and proceed from there, accompanied by their bands, to Lincoln's inn-fields. On their arrival at that spot they were to meet those of the central London and the "foreign demo cracy," and at 11 o'clock the assemblage was then to proceed to Finsbury-square, and there meet the "demo crats" of the east of London. The different bodies having met, a " grand procession" wa3 to be formed ; and at 12 o'clock it was to pass through Cheapside, St. Paul's-churchyard, Ludgate-hill, Fleet-street, the Strand, Regent-street, Portland-place, Regent's-park, to Prim rose-hill, and there to commence "the business of the day" at two o'clock in the afternoon. Such were the arrangements of the committee. At the appointed hour the North London democrats had not arrived in Russell-square. At half past 10 a few idlers took up their station at the different corners of the square, and began to speculate as to the time at which the " demonstration" would arrive. At half-past 11 the " democrats" were not forthcoming, and the sightseers, which by this time amounted to about two hundred, began to declare that " they had been sold." In Lineoln'ls-inn-fields the attendance at half-past 10 was very thin, and at eleven there might have been about 300 people assembled, the majority being of the lower orders. To while away the tedium of waiting the arrira of " the demonstration " there was a run upon the stock of the venders of walnuts, and to a nutcracking accompaniment a " heroic" ballad was sung by three stentorian voices, from which we extract the following stanzas : Cheer up, cheer up my gallant lads, And haste away my hearties, To welcome this day with loud hu3za, Old brave John Frost the Chartist. To London town of high renown He comes, then gladly greet him, For every man throughout the land So joyfully should nae3t him. CHORUS. So bold and brave he stem'd the wave, Cheer up this day all parties, And welcome with a loud huzza, John Frost, the gallant Chartist. Come fill a bumper to the brim, And drink success to parties, In harmony let Britons sing, Now comes John Frost, the Chartist. For he was a man in Newport chair, When he was mayor and there sat, So let the world say what they w ill, Oh he is still a man for a' that. Frost has got foes we may be sure, Still he has friends, too, plenty, For though grey his hairs, advanced in years, And past the age of seventy, He is hale and strong, may he live, So unto glory load 'em— And cut away by night and day, For liberty and freedom. Shortly after eleven the Chelsea division arrived in Lincoln's-inn-fields, and consisted of about 300 persons, 100 of whom were foreigners, accompanied by drums and fifes, and a number of flags and banners. Amongst the most conspicuous of the latter was a large red ban ner with the inscription, "Hail to the Victim," another of the same colour inscribed "The Alliance of the Peo ples," and another—a green one, bearing the words, "The Archangel is here; her name is Democracy." After being marched round tho gardens, and it being now nearly 12 o'clock, the managers not thinking it judicious to wait for their Northern brethren, com menced their march to Finsbury-square, proceeding down Holborn. At twelve o'clock nothing was to be seen in iluesell square of the St. Pancras, Marylebone, and Islington division, so that the supposition is that they went by another route to Primrose-hill, instead of proceeding to Finsbury-square. On the arrival of the different bodies at Finsbury. square they were in a short time joined by Mr. Frost in an open carriage and-four ; and the signal being given, the procession began its march to Primrose-hill. The route traversed we have mentioned above. We should imagine that the entire procession com prised about 800 ; and the best order was kept through. out the line as it traversed the most crowded thorough fares in the metropolis at the busiest hour of the day. As the procession moved up Regent street there were several bursts of cheering, and when the Regent's-park was reached the cheering was resumed. PRIMROSE-HILL. The spot appointed for the mass meeting was reached about two o'clock, at which tune there was a very large attendance of persons, and "the business of the day" commenced by the singing of an ode to the air of the National Anthem. [We shall give the conclusion in our late edition.] As the Chartist mob was passing Pall-mall about 2 o'clock to-day, Miss Bella Copeland, of the Haymarket Theatre, who accidentally became mingled with the crowd, had her pocket picked of her purse and all the money it contained. MR. J. L. TOOLE'S FAREWELL BENEFIT. (From the Edinburgh Daily Express of August 30, 1856.) The greatest assemblage that ever greeted a "benefit" in this city was collected together at the Theatre Royal last evening, to bid farewell to our popular comedian, Mr. J. L. Toole. But a few minutes elapsed from the doers being opened until every part of the house was crowded by the admirers of the young and versatile per former—the gallery and pit with the lovers of that broad fare) of which Mr. Toole is a master—the boxes and stalls with the critical audience, which think him greater still in developing the higher forms of the drama. So great was the crush that Mr. Mackenzie and his band were compelled to beat an early retreat behind the scenes, and their paces in the orchestra, although more closely crammed and filled with the critical elite which frequent the stalls, were not less harmonious than the unseen musicians. Heavy as the amusements of the night might be to Mr. Toole, they were light to a sympathising and en thusiastic audience. The programme was fresh, varied, and long. If Mr. Toole appeared in none of the come dies io connection with which we believe his name will be chiefly associated in this city, it was doubtless from a desire, on this the la ;t night of his engagement in Edinburgh, to supply something new as well as most widely acceptable. Hence he appeared for the first time as Paul Pry, with complete success, and likewise initiated a farce entitled " Your Life's in Danger." In addition to this, he appeared in "Domestic Economy," where, with Mrs. Wyndham's assistance, he vividly realised the old ballad of " John Grumley ;" as Bottom, in the play-scene from " Midsummer Night's Dream ;" and as the Yankee Gal, in which character be rendered the quaint ditties of Mrs. Florence with singular felicity. Each separate appearance was a triumph ; and when he doffed the professional costume to say a few farewell words, the loud and long protracted cheers, with the bouquets showered upon him by the fair occupants of the boxes, constituted quite an ovation. His address was as follows : LADINE4 AND GENTLEMEN.—May I ask you for a few moments to forget the comedian who owes you so much gratitude, and to think rather of one who wishes to give expression to a strong and unaffected sense of the great kindness extended to him during a period of three years' residence in Edinburgh — (applause) —and also to the deep 'egret he cannot fail to feel in mov- Renewed ch eer i ng. ) Y ou are ing from amongst you. ( all no doubt aware that I have received a very flat tering offer to become a member of a London com pany, at the Lyceum Theatre. I feel lam indebted for the position to the kind and generous appreciation of my efforts by my friends in Edinburgh —(applause)— and I owe much to the management of the theatre—l mean Mr. and Mrs. Wyndham — (applause) —from whom I have received great kindness ; also to the ladies and gentlemen with whom I have had . the pleasure of being associated ; not forgetting my friends in the orchestra, who, by-the-bye, are not in the orchestra, but for once behind with their services—(cheers and laughter)--who have made me harmonious at times whether I would or not. (A laugh.) In taking farewell of you for the pre gent, I anticipate with great satisfaction the pleasure of meeting you all here again at no distant period— (loud and prolonged cheering)--assuring you that any leisure which I may be permitted to enjoy from my duties elsewhere can nowhere be more happily spent than amongst the many sincere and warm-hearted friends I have in Auld Reekie. (Cheers and laughter.) I wish you—my friends in the boxes, stalls, pit, and galleries —all the enjoyment of as great and as true a friend ship as you have shown to me, the remembrance of which no change of circumstances nor success can efface. (Applause.) I am also indebted to the press of this city—(cheers)—from whom I have rece i ve d so muc h consideration and attention ; and, cordially thanking the members of that body, and you again, my good friends, most warmly—(applause)--I withdraw to pre pare for the discharge of the other duties I have under taken to-night, and bid you an earnest, but, I trust, not . a last farewell. MARKET NEWS.—ahis Day,) CORN EXCHANGE. There was an improved feeling in the demand for home. grown wheat in the loading country markets held on Saturday, and prices had an upward tendency. Barley, however, was dull in sale, and lower to purchase. Most other articles were tolerably firm. The Continental markets have been firm for wheat, and prices have had an upward tendency. The shipments of both wheat and flour from America have been only moderate of late. Limited supplies of home-grown produce were received up from market last week. The imports from abroad wero 12,413 quarters of wheat, 4,239 barley, 14,547 oats, 80 beans, 40) peas, 1,230 linseed, 30 mustard seed, 70 sundry seeds, and 7,240 barrels of flour. Fresh up from Essex, the arrivals of wheat to-day, coast.. wise and by land carriage, were small ; and the receipts from Kent were only moderate, consequently, the show of samples of both red and white was limited for the time of year, and the condition of the supply was by no moans first-rate. The market was well attended both by town and country millers, and the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled active, at an improvement in the quotations realised on Monday last of from 3a. to ss. per quarter. There was only a moderate show of foreign wheat. The demand for nearly all kinds was steady, and, in some instances, the currencies were is to 2s per quarter than on this day se'nnight. . _ _ We had an improved inquiry for floating cargoes of grain, at very fall prices. The quantity of barley on offer was not extensive, yet the trade ruled heavy, and the quotations were 2s to 38 per quarter lower. Malt moved off slowly, but we have no change to notice in prices. The show of oats was very moderate, and the oat trade ruled steady, at fall prices. Beans were in short supply, and fair request, at last week's currency. We had a fair inquiry for peas, at fully late rates. The flour trade was firm, and country markets advanced is to 2s per sack. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURN.

Large numbers of stock, especially sheep, continue to be imported into France from Spain. The turnip crop is progressing well in tke whole of our grazing districts. There was about an average time-of-year. supply of foreign stock on offer in to-day's market, but its general quality was inferior. We had an increased show of home-fed beasts on sale compared with Monday last. The condition of all kinds, however, was by no means first-rate. The primest Scots were in fair request, but other qualities of beef were a slow sale, and prices were 2d per 8 lbs. lower than on Monday last. The general top figure was 4s 8d per 8 lbs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire we received 2.500 shorthorns; from other parts of England, 500 of various breeds ; from Ireland, 400 oxen ; and from Scotland, only 20 Scots. We were fairly supplied with sheep, most of which were in low condition. The mutton trade was in a sluggish state, at Friday's decline in value of 2d per 8 lbs. The best old Downs sold at 5s 2d per 8 lbs. The few lambs in the market sold at mutton prices. Although the supply of calves was very moderate, the wool trade was rather heavy, and prices were 2d per 8 lb& lower thac on this day se'nnight. Pigs—the supply of which was moderato—were steady, at full quotationr. Per 81bs to sink the on% s. d. s. d.

Prices rule very low ; indeed, it is almost impossible to quote thorn accurately. Some inferior parcels may be had as low as 30s. per cwt., and prime qualitieg rule from 4/. 4s. to 5/. The duty is about 275,0001. Old hops are unusually low in price. BOROUGH AND SPITALFIELDS. Our markets continue to be extensively supplied 'with all kinds of potatoes, in excellent condition. The demand is inactive, at prices ranging from 3/ lOs to 4/ 5s per ton. WOOL. The imports of wool, last week. were 4 bales from Ja maica, 153 from Constantinople, 205 from Hambro', 501 from Port Philip, 20 from Ostend, 1,041 from Alps Bay, and 1,931 from Sydney. There is a moderate demand for all kinds of English wool, at full prizes ; but foreign and colonial parcels, as manufacturers are well in stock, are very dull. The following are the current rates of English wool : Down togs, is 3d to is 4d ; Down ewes, is 2d to is 3d ; half-bred hogs, is 2d to 1s 3 ; Kent fleeces, is 2d to is 3d ; Leicester do., is ld to is 3d ; combing skin, is to is ; blanket wool, 9,1 to is ld ; and flannel wool, is to is 5d per lb.

By Charles Dickens. " Poverty" is over—the poverty of the Dorrits of the Marshalsea ! No. X. has duly brought us, as we anticipated, to the end of Book I.—half of the new story by Boz being thus already cam pleted. Another instalment will, of course, b the second moiety—" Riches "—the riches of the Dorrits—no longer the Dorrits of the Marshalsea ! For old Mr. Do - rrit is " out of it" at last, as en tirely as Tip, and Fanny, and Frederick. He not only comes out of a prison, but comes into a fortune —through the benign agency of Pancks the Tug, Pancks the Grubber, Pancks the Gipsy (in truth) " Fortune"-telling ! How all tbis comes to pass is told very excitingly by means of a chapter expres ' siyely entitled—" What was behind Mr. Pancks on Little Dorrit's hand." William Dorrit, the snivel ling,degraded, d esp i ca b le Father of the Marshalsea, turning out to he heir-at-law to a great estate—an estate showering th e g l ory o f su dd en wea l t h upon the receiver of dirty douceurs of silver and halfpence under the title of " testimonials"—upon the vul gar prig of a son with a respectability some thing between that of a billiard.-marker and that of a stable-h anger - on — upon the consequential little hoity-toity ballet-dancer at a low suburban theatre—upon the half -comatose clarioaet-player, whose conversational powers are principally re stricted to the utterance of " Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes"—and, last of all, upon poor dear Little Amy Dorrit herself, the needle-plying Child of the Mar shalsea. The chief interest of the revelation made first of all by Pancks, and afterwards by Clennam, in this same wonder-working chapter, lies in the disclosure of the great news in turn to Little Dorrit and to her Father. Flora (relict of Mr. F.) shining forth incidentally in this portion of the narrative, more than ever good natured, and, be it said, also more than ever ridiculous. The subsequent chapter, with which the First Book terminates, places upon record the manner in which the Marshalsea becomes an Orphan. William Dorrit (how is it that he comes to be mentioned at page 315 as "Edw ar d D orr it, E squ i re ?") and his Fa mily driving a wa y f rom th e D e bt ors ' Prison, in which the head of the house has teen incarcerated for nearly a quarter of a century—driving away from it, not in a prison-van, or a hack cab, or a job-fly, or anything of that sordid kind, but in a grand carriage, the bran new carriage of a bran new gentleman ! The task now devolving upon Mr. Dickens in the sequel of his story appears to us one of extraordinary difficulty, one sufficient to tax . to the utter mos t th e powers o f our great no velist. He will have to define with the touch of a master-hand the change effected upon the various members of the Dorrit Family by this abrupt and astounding transition from Poverty to Riches. The influence of the change we anticipate, will render Amy more than ever loveable, and her relations more than ever disgust ing, with the single exception, perhaps, of that orchestral Life-in-Death, the clarionet-player, Frederick. Besides the two chapters already here particularised, the two chapters having such extra ordinary influence upon the fortunes both of the Dorrits and of the Marshalsea, there are two other chapters affecting the minor personages of the tale, lending their charm to the pr-sent September in stalment. One defining " Mrs. Merdle's Com plaint"—the o th er netting together a whole "Shoal of Barnacles." In the former we learn the par ticulars of a sort of a confidential interview be tween Mrs. Gowan and Mrs. Merdle—in reference to the relation between whom, as types of two contrasting classes, it is remarked—" True, the Hampton Court Bohemians, without exception, turned up their noses at Merdle as an upstart ; but they turned them down again by falling flat on their faces to worship his wealth"— whereunto is added " in which compensating ad justment of their noses they were pretty much like Treasury, Bar, and Bishop, and all the rest of them." Mrs. Gowan tapping her chin (" it was ou the way to being a double chin," says Boz very ludicrously, "might be called a chin and a-half at present") submits her case to the judgment of Mrs. Merdlo ; the latter in the name of Society vouch safing in return her opinion—an opinion bolstered up on either hand by the Bosom and the Parrot ! Mr. Merdle is capital : looking a little common, in spite of his enormous wealth—" rather as if, in the course of his vast transactions, he had accidentally made an interchange of heads with some inferior spirit." Mr. Sparkler, his step-son, is still more capital even than the capitalist—" anxiously feeling his shirt collar as if it were his pulse, and he were hypochondriacal." As to the " Shoal of Barnacles" described immediately afterwards, they are inimi tably hit off—every man Jack of them—a grea.t man y man-Jacks of them, of course, being Jacks-in-office! Barnacles they are of all kinds and species, but still to the last, though numerous and various, of their kind and species —representing only a frac tional portion of the gigantic aggregate of Barna cles—Barnacles scattered with their despatch boxes [Why will Mr. Dickens always spell Despatch with an i, after the stereotyped etymo- , logical blunder of the weekly newspaper so called ?] —all over the world—" despatch-boxing the compass ?" William Barnacle ; Tite Barnacle ; Barnacle Junior, with his eyeglass and his Tonnage, and his ever-lively dread about Arthur Clennam wanting to know you know ; the engaging young Barnacle ; Lord Decimus Tite Barnacle, and the rest of them, the whole "shoal" here alluded to, being gathered together to cele brate the nuptials of Pet and Harry Gowan at Mr. Meagles's pretty little villa-home down at Twick enham. An occasion like so many others where sundry aspiring individuals " buttered the Barna cles on all sorts of toasts." Barnacles, great and small, come in for the undiscriminating sarcasms of the arch-foe of the whole joint tribes of Bar nacles and Stiltstalkings. Mr. Dickens, indulging in a cruel reference to the three expensive Miss Tite Barnacles, double loaded with accomplish ments and ready to go off, and yet not going off with the sharpness of flash and bang that might have been expected, but rather hanging fire! And holding up for general contemplation, in the midst of inextinguishable laughter, the oratorical powers of Decimus Tite Barnacle, thus ludicrously celebrated in one stupendous sentence. He (Lord Decimus) " trotting with the complacency of an idiotic elephant among howling labyrinths of sentences, which he seemed to take for high roads, and never so much as wanted to get out of !" With which delicious morceaux of irony we will olose our comments upon this number of Little Dorrit, a number illustrated as usual by Phiz, with a pencil of slovenly ability— but for once, thank Heaven, without ono of his blotchy sketches of " Darkness visible." Miscellanies. Vol. M. By W. M. Thackeray. Another volume of Mr. Thackerey's delightful '' Miscellanies " reproduces for us, in a revised form, several of those earlier productions of his which won him so much praise from the discern ing, under the pseudonym of M. A. Titmarsh. In this manner we are enabled to peruse once more "The Memoirs of Barry Lyndon," by the light of a great literary fame, second only to the two most illustrious of living novelists. The names of Dickens and Lytton being followed in due order nowadays by that of Thackeray, the glorious writer of Vanity Pair and The Newcomes—to say nothing of the ever-charming memorials of Colonel Esmond, or of the altogether inimitable Lectures on English Humorists. In this great living author—the con temporary of l3ulwer, and Boz, and Macaulay, and Tennyson—immortal among our writers of fiction as the creator of Becky Sharp, and honest Dobbin, and noble-hearted Thomas Newcome, and delectable M. de Florae, and capital old tufthunt ing Major Pendenuis, and loveable Gorge War rington, and the infamous Marquis of Steyne, and the hardly less execrable Dowager Lady Kew, and beautiful Ethel, and handsome Clive, and that most charming of couples, Arthur and Laura Pen dennis—in the creation of these and other scarcely less real "ideal" characters, we recognise one rather more important than a pleasant contributor to. Punch and Fraser. Somebody more welcome to be hold than the double of "Jeamos," or the alter ego of " P'liceman X.," o r Ch ar l es Y e ll owp l ush, or Michael Angelo Titmarsh, or Fitzboodle, or the Snob of " Snobs," or the Bashi-bazouk among " Bashi-bazouks," or the "Fat Con tributor" to the " London Charivari," or any other among those not easily numerable moms de plume, by which William Th ac k eray fi rst won his way to an immense popularity an d a sp l en did reputation. Here is a fictionist rather more notable than all this—a Great Author, and not merely a successful feuilletonist or a light and sparkling magazine -writer 1 The queer, comical, capital masks have dropped off one after another, and at last we have before the world, in his own proper person, a humorist and satirist whose name will henceforth rank with those of Richardson. Fielding, Siiiollett, Swift, Lytton, Dick ens , among the glories of our national literature ! As the earlier writ ings of W. M. Thackeray these facetious "Miscel laMes" are right welcome every one of them, even the most fugitive and ephemeral, even " Re becca and Rowen a ." And bearing yet vividly in remembrance his noble masterpiece—" The New comes," we turn over with renewed zest the . re cords penned by the same hand in a more negligent mood of the "Legend of the Rhine," of the " Little Dinner at Timininc;s," and of " The Bed ford-row Conspiracy." As we have already turned over curiously and laughingly (in vols. i. and ii.) the " Ballads," the " Book of Snobs," the ‘• Fatal Boots," " Cox's Diary," the " Yellow-plus% Memoirs," " Jeames's Diary," " Travels in Lon don," "Novels by Eminent Hands," "Character Sketches," and Last, but not lout in their own oz travagant way, the "Tremendous Adventures o Major Galiagan." Besides all wnich, • however, —" there be" pippins and cheese to come yet"—ballads, verses, tales, squibs, burlesque and satiric pasquinades, contributed during the last ten years with a lavish and industrious hand to all kinds of periodicals. Let us hope that these may not fail to include among their nunilr3r,7together with what Mr. Thackeray has written for example in Punch, in the Times, in Fraser, and in House hold Words, such sparkling and, in their way, alto gether matchless criticisms as that delicious tri bute of admiration (in the Quarterly) to John Leech's " Pictures of Life and Character." Other wise the collection will remain after all signally incomplete. Otherwise there w ill b o some thi ng still a-wanting even in Thackeray's "Miscellanies." Oxford and Cambrid9:c.—Aniong a number of meritorious contributions may be noticed a pleasing paper on that fine old poet " Robert H err i c k" and a laudatory notice of " Alexander Smith," of whom, after a third perusal, it is said, "if his future performance does not belie his youthful promise, he may look to stand in the first rank of English poets, or, at the least, below only the very greatest." 3 10 4 4 4 8 5 2 0 0 4 2 4 10 3 10 NICARAGUA. SOUTHAMPTON, SEPT. 14. Additional intelligence from Nicaragua has ar rived by the West India mail steamer Atrato : " President Walker's prospects are not, from pearances, growing brighter, and, if report can be re lied on, his fate is now soon to be decided by a bat tle. We learn that he has had a quarrel with Mr. Manning, the British Consul at Realejo, and actually dismissed him from office, and appointed some one else to act in his stead until the British Government appoint another consul. The General, so report says, has advised the British Government of the step he has taken." A correspondent of the Panama Star and Reraid writes the following from Aspinwall, which, he says, must be received with extreme caution "Guatemala is said to be advancing with 4,000 men under Carrera, and Costa Rica had notified her intention of again trying her fortune under the same commander. Rivas still holds Isis position at Leon, with 700 men, and is fortifying its outposts. If deserters are to be believed, Walker's position at the present is very critical, to say the least. The harsh measures he has adopted towards the whites fighting with him has rendered him distaste lul to them as a commander. Provisions and money were both scarce at Grenada. Walker tried a senior officer of the name of Tallaya, a Nicaraguan, for treason, and shot him. He belonged to the Rivas party. The American steamer Cahawba, Captain Bullock, arrived at Greytown on the 18th, with dates from New York to the 9th inst. She brought 270 passengers and 10 artil. !erymen for General Walker. The Cahawba expected to sail on the morning of the 21st. "The movements of the English squadron are : Orion, 91 guns, Captain E. Erskine, at Greytown ; Arro gant, 47 guns, Captain H. Lyster, at do,-; Victor, 6 guns, Commander A. de Horsey, at do. ; Intrepid, 6 guns, Commander W. Wood, at do. ; Luperiense, 51 guns, Captain R.

Ia consequence of the dLath of the late Arthur Henry, Eq., of Lodge-park, county Kildare, we are informed that his Killead estate, in the county of An trim, comes into the possession of his eldest son, Capt. Frederick 11. Henry, of the Royal Antrim Artillery. M. Meyerbeer is now in Paris, waiting, it is said, the result of the debut of Madame Borgh'.Matne, in "Le Prophete," ere he determines whether to give to the great musical theatre, " L'Africaine ;" or, failing this, the new comic opera, without chorur, and with only three vocalists, which he has completed, to the OpJra Coraique. Mdl!e. Rachel's health is gradually improving, but a change of climate is deemed absolutely necessary for her complete restoration, and her return to the theatre can not, it is stated, be counted upon until the autumn of 1857. THE GREAT WESTERN' AND BRENTFORD RAILWAY AND DOCK.—The commencement of the new dock at Brentford, in connection with the railway from the Great We-tern at Southall to the Tharuca, was celebrated at Brentford, on Saturday last, by a dinner, given by the dirottors and contractors to the "navvies" and other persons employed in the undertaking. SCARCITY OF COIN IF BELIIIII.—SiIver coin has of late become so scarce in Belgians that the mines at Brussels has been actively employed in coining gold during the last fortnight, in order to meet the wants of circulation. Gold, it may be remembered was a few years since withdrawn from circulation in Belgium, silver alone constituting the currency. I :IAYAIARIKET.—Mr, Murdoch, an actor of the highest reputation in the United States, both in tragedy endow. medy, is engaged at the Haymarket, and makes his first appearance there on Monday week, in the character of Young Mirabel, in "The Inconstant," which - has been advantageously compressed into three acts. We under stand that Miss Ellen Sabine, a young and favourite ac tress who played last season very successfully at Brighton, will appear, for the first time on these boards, on next Thursday, in the character of Celia, in "As You Like It."

Thirty-six holes will be played on each Links. Large SUMS of money are already staked on the witch. DESTRUCTION OF A WOOLLEN MlLL.—About eleven o'clock on Friday night the factory known by the came of Bank Mill, at Morley, near Leeds, was discovered to be on fire, and an alarm was immediately given. The mill is the property of Messrs. G. Smith and Co., Mor ley, woollen cloth manufacturers, an was a substantial structure four storeys high, the three lower storeys of which had recently been fitted up with new and valuable machinery. The upper storey, with power, was let off to a Mr. Sharp. The fire, which broke out in the lower st o rey,wasdiscoverea about eleven o'clock, and it spread with such rapidity that the roof fell in about half-past 12. Shortly afterwards the engines belonging to the Sun and N orw i c h i nsurance offices and the corporation arrived from Leeds, and were brought into play, but the flames were not subdued until they had exhausted them , selves and had gutted the building. The machinery is rendered comparatively valueless. It is supposed th a t the fire originated from the ignition of some ma ngo placed near the engines, from the friction of tho engines. The damage is estimated at about 1,5001. The Messrs. Smith are insured in the Globe to nearly the full amount of their lose. is of 3t all 19 all all all all all all 100 100 100 20 100 I si i Patd. all all 10) 1.00 all all all lBs Dm pm x d
