Mr. Halliwell gives us a very excellent and well-written paper on the much-discussed " Essays and Reviews," and Mrs. Merrifield contributes a few sensible remarks on the need of sanitary knowledge to women—a fact whose importance is now generally recognised. " An Excursus for Practical People" censures our exclusive devotion to reality and matters of fact, and the reluctance we feel to confess the influence of anything bordering on sentiment. There is a very pleasa n t p aper on the " Literature of Gossip," and several other tales, poems, and sketches. Among the former we may mention the first part of a singular and startling story called " Ralph the Bailiff;' which certainly awakes the reader's curio sity. We congratulate Mrs. Hill on her enter prising and promising commencement. Macmillan's Magazine. This magazine commences with an article by Thomas Hare, on the development of the wealth of India, in which he censures the Indian Govern ment for its neglect of the interest of those who endeavour to develop the resources of that vast empire ; he maintains that from the treatment that the indigo cultivators have experienced at the hands of the Government small inducement is held out to those who would be willing to invest capital in the production of cotton. H. Xingsley's tale, "Ravenshoe" is continued, and we need hardly say is as interesting as it has been in previous numbers. Charles Ravenshoe has retired from the University for a time, but if Mr. Kingsley came out strong , among the " Dons" and " undergraduates," he is equally clever in his delineation of the character of the Catho►.ic priesthood, the contrast between the crafty Jesuitical Mackworth who wishes to rule the house as he does the eldest son Cuthbert, and the honest Irish ecclesiastic Father Tiernay, who, Whatever his faults, wishes well to all men, heretics included, is forcibly and admirably de scribed. Charles Ravenshoe being a Protestant, of course an inveterate feud existed between him and Mackworth, and after an exchange of sharp hits between them, Charles gives vent to his feel- Ings while smoking his cigar, in the following Impromptu, showing clearly what he feels must come to pass on the death of his father : The old falcon's nest Was built up on the crest Of the cliff that hangs over the sea ; And the jackdaws and crows, As every one knows, Were confounded respectful to he, to he—e—e." " But the falcon grew old, And the nest it grew cold, And the carrion birds they grew bolder, So the jackdaws and crows, Underneath his own nose, Gave both the young falcons cold shoulder." " The elder was quelled, But the younger rebelled ; So he spread his wide wings and tied over the sea. Said the jackdaws and crows, ' He'll be hanged I suppose, But what in the deuce does that matter to we ?' - - There was something in the wild, bitter tone in which he can g the last verse that made Father Tiernay smoke his Cigar in silence as they sauntered across the yard, till Charles began again. "Not a word of applause for my poor impromptu song? Hang it, I'd have applauded anything you sang." "Don't be so reckless and bitter, Mr. Ravenshoe," said Tierney, laying his hand on his shoulder. " I can feel for you, though there is so little in common between us." A paper addressed " To Novelists, and a Novelist," though true enough in its way, will not, we opine, have much effect on those who are impelled with the cacoethes scribendi, that class of individuals being ruled by a divinity which will not take advice. " Workhouse Sketches," by Francis Power Cobbe, is well worthy the perusal of all the benevolent who desire to be of service to those who really stand in need of the helping hand of charity. Mr. Cobbe is severe in his stric tures, but he censures the system rather than the individuals in authority. The repugnance which all, no matter how destitute, evince to going into " The House" (as they term it), which is but too well known to all who take any interest in the well-being of the poor, does not spring only from pride, although that has a great deal more to do with it than is generally supposed. But going into a workhouse is much the same as going into a prison, hence hundreds starve rather than seek admission ; while the sick helpless, who are obliged to seek refuge in these inhospitable establishments, are denied the necessary comforts which their wants ruquire. It is time in the nineteenth cen tury, when so many are anxious to contribute to alleviate the suffering of their fellow creatures, that the whole of our parochial relief sy stem should be thoroughly reorganised. There is nothing of much interest in " Tom Brown at Oxford" this ' Month. He advances in his stuAies as also in his Chartist principles. His father calls to see him, and although they fall out about certain dogmas Which Tom has taken up, on the whole they part good friends, and a better understanding springs lip between them. " The Ramsgate Lifeboat," by the Rev. J. Gilmore, is an account of a night on the Goodwin Sands, or rather over the sands in the Ramsgate lifeboat, as described to the author by the members of the crew. It is highly interesting. The boat having put out to rescue the crew of a Portuguese castaway on the sands, the crew found it impossible to make head through the breakers, and Were compelled to cross the sands over which they bumped, yard by yard, for two hours, buried under the surf the greater part of the time, but the boat "Was built to stand hard usage, and she weathered the storm. Such are our national lifeboats. A chapter on "The Law of Rifle Volunteer Corps" conclude this number. Tomple Bar Magazine. " The Seven Sons of Mammon" is continued at some length, and there is a description of "an exceedingly vulgar person," that is well done in its way. Ernest Goldthorpe and this man, who was his curate, had a serious quarrel, and Pendragon departed muttering curses on all who had offended him. The wonderful Mr. Sims is introduced at the last chapter, and the mysterious widow again appears. She is evidently running a very dan gerous course, and will soon become involved in difficulties. " For Better for Worse," is a very clever tale, and in its course develops much of the hidden misery of social life. Sir Philip . is a well-drawn character, and with good intentions, he renders Ethel wretched by his pride and obstinacy. The unfortunate coincidence of Ralph's settling at the rectory, without fearing its near vicinity to the abode of his haughty brother in-law, is one of those striking events that will often occur in real life. " From Generation to Generation" is a very dismal sketch indeed, and many may read a warning in the horrible fate of Mark Upton, as to the futility of heaping up riches to such an inordinate extent, and caring for nothing else. It was a fitting land- Mark of his horrible career that, after his death, his house should be called the haunted house. " A Nation of Marksmen," refers to the important subject of attention at present, and a very happy illustration of the purpose of the Volunteer Movement is given in the words of one who presided at a meeting the other day, namely, that the rifle may become in every English ra an's hand what the longbow was in the hands of his ancestors at once the pastime of his leisure, and the defence of his home and country." For the benefit of learned readers there is a paper on " The Provincial Letters of Pascal," which will repay perusal and exhibits a Considerable knowledge of the subject. " Abban• donata " is a most lugubrious tale in verse, which will suit those who like mournfu: sketches. This number begins the second volume of this pub lication, and the editor in a preface has announced the fact that its readers have been very consider able, and indulges in the hope that the future will be equal to the past in merit and recognition. THE TURlfisti B ATH.—BeI jike Middleham and N ewmarket ts Life at Mahon, aua , the Turkish Bath "has no friends" says :—Un ainee that the announcement in a cotem porary a week or two butterfly Mr. Peck contemplated erec ting one was anoth er ~ much dis posed to "leave well alone " to having no such i nt en t ion. Mr. s canard," Mr. P. nce feels too m tote, and after fi ft y y ears ' exp e z them in indulgefronaa Scott repudiates in what h e t erms such " newfangl ed notions, " conviction wholesome that if g horses cannot be t r a ined a g ainst the h ill hay and corn, whe reb y the y g et wind and all the Roman or Turkish baths in the world, not which tend to weake n the s y stem inszorld, s tren g thening it like the natur al : mode of sw eating, will of assist them to pay their training bill at the end of the year, Instead, therefore, of " the trainers of 1870 amusing themselves with the errors of their predecessors in 1860," as prophesied by Admiral nous, Mr. Scott expresses his belief that in a very short time, after a few horses have been suf focated or "baked to a cinder," the "ovens" which have been erected in such haste will be converted to more useful purposes, such as drying the clothes of horses sweated upon the old natural system, and that the " old school" will have the laugh at the " quacks" after all. We hear of two or three trainers who have Raready repented the use ofthe Turkish bath; and if report be true, Mouravieff was not benefited by his " melting" before Warwick, where by the bye, The Alderm an ' s per formance in the Leamington Stakes (for which the stable "stood him" for a large stake), contrasted most unfavour ablyo with that of his more successful stable companion, IN . pt i u v nus, who, trained on the orthodox system, ran " big" as sisted ego b oi, whilst The Alderman's reparation was as the use of the Turkish bath I It had almost escaped w us y to state that last autumn the Melton race course as levelled, and in parts entirely re-turfed, at an expense b of y ur r. agl o s 9 X £lOO, the whole of which has been, defrayed MONEY MARKET AND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The accounts from the manufacturing districts have been of a more favourable character. At Leeds, however, the demand for all descriptions of woollen cloths has been comparatively quiet except in connection with the home trade, in which there have been symptoms of an increased inquiry. At Manchester the unsettled question with regard to the remuneration of the operatives has in a great measure interfered with' the ordinary progress of trade, and the dealings in both yarns and cloths have been on the most limited scale, prices being nominally unaltered. In worsted yarns at Bradford there has been rather more business transacted, and the enquiries for piece goods for the home mar ket have been on the increase. In the hosiery and lace trades at Nottingham and Leicester there has been little or no improvement. In the various hardware districts tke transactions have been chiefly to supply the requirements of the home de mand, and at Birmingham, Sheffield, Walsall, and Wolverhampton, no change of importance can be announced. The money market now exhibits a firm and active appearance, consequent upon the usual quar terly disbursements, and the preparations for Thursday next, the 4th of the month. Occasional transactions are still reported at 61 per cent., but 7 per cent. is the general charge for good commer cial bills, and the enquiries at the Bank, where accommodation can be obtained at the same rate, are therefore rather numerous. When the approach ing liquidation of mercantile accounts shall have been completed affairs will probably improve, especially . as the supplies will be largely augmented a few days afterwards by the payment of the April dividends. The Stock Exchange is closed to-day "by order of the committee," and public securities conse quently remained at nominal prices. As business is also suspended in the Mincing-lane Markets, the attendance of the mercantile community, as on Saturday, is very much reduced. A large amount in gold, viz., £lOO,OOO, was sent into the Bank of England on Saturday. Two more vessels have been announced this morn ing from Australia, viz., the Monarch, with £89,628, and the Lightning, with £115,376 in specie. A call of £lO per share, amounting to £40,000, became due to-day on the Danube and Black Sea Railway ; and £2 per share, or £15,090, on the Vale of Neath Preference £2O shares.

A DETERMINED THIEF.— Edward Donovan, a rough looking fellow, de scribed as a fisherman, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with stealing a silver watch of the value of £4, the property of Mr. T. Davis, bootmaker, of 9, Jermyn-street, there being little doubt also that he and his companions had stolen the watch of Mr. F. Fryer, a member of the Conservative Club. Mr. Davis said that on Saturday evening he stepped to the corner of Jermyn-street to witness a rifle corps pass, when, feeling hinarsclf prcoocd asainat, ho put hia hand to his watch ribbon and found his watch was gone. As the prisoner's hand was on the ribbon he seized him, saying, " You have got my watch. " Prisoner replied, " Search me." At the same moment some one of the bystanders said, " They have got it," meaning two young men who were making their way through the crowd. He still de tained the prisoner, and gave him to a constable. Austin, 318 A, said on taking the prisoner into custody he said he had not taken it. Mr. F. Fryer, of the Conservative Club, said he was in Carlton-gardens seeing the Volunteers forming, when he was hustled and his watch taken. He felt certain the pri soner was one of the men, but was more certain as to one of the others, who had a lonenose. The prisoner pleaded guiliy, and was sentenced to six months, with hard labour.

ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—This morning an elderly female, named Harriet Meyer, was charged before Mr. Woolrych with attempting to drown herself in the river Lea. The poor woman said pecuniary embarrassment had driven her to desperation. After a caution the magistrate discharged her on her daughter promising to take care of her. The Perseveranza publishes the following letter, dated from the banks of the Mincio, 25th March : " A convoy of Croats arrived at Verona last night. It is said a promise has been made to them that they shall not be employed outside the Quad rilateral. The Austrians are taking measures which seemingly indicate an approaching war. The offi cers speak publicly of soon entering the Duchies and Lombardy. Besides sisters of charity, guides and field-telegraphs have also arrived. An order was sent yesterday to all officers and workmen employed on the fortification to send home their families. Two large counting offices at Verona have been ordered to* be turned into military hos pitals. The new works at Peschiera are carried on with the greatest activity, the men working even on holydays." A letter from Venice, dated 23d of March, says— " The Austrian army is daily receiving reinforce- Tr ents. B a tt a li ons o f C roats w ill garr i son th e for esses of the Quadrilateral and the left bank of the Po. When formerly the Grenzer (border troops) arrived in Italy it was looked upon as a sure sign of approaching war. Various warlike indications have taken place lately.

CORN EXCHANGE. Most of the provincial markets, held on Saturday, were but moderately supplied with wheat. All good and fine samples were disposed of somewhat readily, at an advance in the quotations of fully is. per quarter. inferior parcels, however, were much neglected. Most descriptions of aping corn were inactive. Flour, however, was firm in pu ice. _ Throughout the continent wheat is advancing in value. In the United States prices have shown a tendency to give way. The arrivals of English wheat and other produce last week were limited. The imports from abroad amounted to 23,769 quarters of wheat ; 5,101 barley ; 43,123 oats ; 2,265 rye; 2,455 beans; 320 peas; 263 tares; 6,307 lin seed ; 5,550 rape seed ; 270 maize ; 162 sundry ; 3,570 sacks and 22,253 barrels of flour. The supply of English wheat on sale in to-day's market was very limited, for the most part, in fair condition ; in deed, a really good sample was to be found with difficulty. For all descriptions, holders were very firm in their de mands, and the late advance in the quotations was fully supported. The show of foreign wheat was tolerably extensive. Most kinds commanded a steady consumptive inquiry. at full quotations. Floating cargoes of grain fully maintained the late im provement in value, although the arrivals off coast have been very large. The show of English barley was limited ; of foreign, how ever, moderately extensive. Generally speaking, the trade ruled dull, yet no further change can be noticed in prices. For low qualities, the quotations were very irregular. Good sound oats moved off steadily at previous rates, but other descriptions were a slow inquiry. There was about an average business doing in malt, on former terms. Beans were in moderate supply and steady request, at full prices. For peas there was a fair sale, at late rates. The flour trade was firm. In prices, however, very little change took place, owing to the large arrival from New York. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

There was only a moderate supply of foreign stock on offer in to-day's market, and for which there was a steady demand at full prices. Compared with Monday last, the tarrvals of horde-fed beasts were limited ; but their general'. quality was good. Notwithstanding that the beef trade was by no means active, prices advanced 2d per Sibs, owing to the compara tive scarcity of stock. The best Scots tand crosses sold at 4s 10d per Blbs, and even ss. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 1,500 Scots, &c. ; from other parts of England, 600 various breeds ; and from Scotia .nd, 200 Scots and crosses. The show of sheep was very moderEcte, and the quality of most breeds was inferior. Prime Do wns and half-bredi moved oft steadily at very full prices—some of the former having realised 6d per 8lbs; otherwiscs, the mutton trade was heavy, at barely late rates. We were scantily supplied with :lambs, which sold readily at from 6s 8d to 8s per Blbs. Calves—the supply of which was sm: all—were steady at extreme quotations, viz., front 5s to 6s p er Blbs. There was a moderate inquiry for pii cs at previous cur rencies. Per Slb. to sink the off al. s. d. s. d. s. d. s. d.

The Northampton Meeting, which commences to-morrow, will no doubt bring together a large number of sporting men. Eight races will be decided each day at Northampton, and they will bring out horses that are merely known to fame by rumour, but whose debut is anxiously anticipated, and others whose re appearance is awaited with much inte rest and curiosity, on account of the promise which their performances last year afforded of their achieving consider able turf celebrity. Expectation on these subjects is not likely to be disappointed, for amongst the animals entered are many that have important engagements in the great three-year old and handicap events of the season, and which have played principal parts in the "doings" at the Corner. Of the items in to-morrow's list three are yet unclosed, but they are likely to obtain a satisfactory number of entries. The weights for her Majesty's Plate this year will be in accordance with the new and judicious scale of weights ordered by the Master of the Horse, who is, by the way, one of the stewards of the meeting. The most important item on the card will be the North amptonshire Stakes, which, out of 126 subscribers, only commanded 47 acceptances. About 20 competitors will go to the post, selected from the following :—Moorcock, 5 yrs, Bst 71b; Lady Trespass, 4 yrs, Bst 51b; Horror, 4 yrs, Bst 41b ; Avalanche, 4 yrs, 7st 131 b ; Bevis, 5 yrs, 7st 121 b ; The Rap, 4 yrs, 7st 91b ; King of Diamonds, 4 yrs, 7st 91b ; Scent, 5 yrs, 7st 91b ; Moorhen, 4 yrs, ist 71b ; ?lumper, 4 yrs, ist 71b ; Benbow, 5 yrs, ist 71b ; Merrimac, 4 yrs, ist 41b ; Industrious, 4 yrs, ist 41b ; Ambush, 5 yrs, 7st ; Doefoct, 3 yrs, ist; King of Kent, 3 yrs, 7st ; Oliver, 4 yrs, Est 1 llb ; Danae, 4 yrs, Gst 91b ; Balham 3, yrs, Est 61b ; Sycophant, 3 yrs, Get 31b ; Nativity, 3 yrs, Gst 21b ; and Sister to St. Albans, 3 yrs, sst 131 b. Horror, if in anything like his last year's form, should keep all the heavy weights safe. He has been knocked about in the market for the last two or three days like a shuttle cock on account of a rumour that the owner had been fore stalled. On that account I should not be surprised to see him an absentee. Fordham was specially engaged to ride him. Rattlebone, 4 yrs, Bst, has been backed for this race occasionally, at shortening prices, but Alec Taylor has also Plumper, 4 yrs, 7st 71b, Sister to St. Albans, and the colt by Wild Dayrell, out of Intimidation, engaged. Sister to St. Albans, last week, saw a short price, but I expect the stable will be represented by Plumper, who ought to be in the front at the finish. The Rap seems now to be gone, but if he comes again I wont be against him. King of Diamonds, after a favourable trial with Giraffe and Mag num, has been freely invested on, but I prefer King of Kent, with all his weight, and coming from such a stable as Godding's, who has such fine tackle to try his horses with, he must be kept harmless. Moorhen would be a great favourite if a demonstration were made in her favour by Sir Joseph Hawley. Her performance will be watched with interest on account of Rouge Dragon. Moorcock and Lady Trespass are John Osborne's two, and to the former I give the preference. Avalanche will run better here than she did at Shrewsbury, and may obtain a situation, for, according to public running, wherever Horror is she ought to be also. Merrimac was never half trained when he started last year, and four of his five defeats were in the best of company, while on the fifth occasion (at Reading) he was running up to his hocks in mud ; consequently, he could never be set down as a bad horse, and from the tackle he went though the mill with last week, I am bound to consider him more than mode rate, several stables that have horses of their own in the race " going " for this gentleman in preference. Danae only started twice last season, having won the Warwick shire Handicap so very easily that she became a great favourite for the City and Suburban and Metropolitan Handicaps ; however, she met with an accident in the first of these races that kept her at home for the rest of the year, and she was almost forgotten, until a heavy commission was introduced into the market on Saturday last to back her for this stake. Like Merrimac, she has been tried under the auspices of the most dangerous " talent," and while meeting everything that opposes her with the best of racing weights, they can scarcely make a mistake. The most formidable lot are Merrimac, Lady Trespass, Danae, King of Kent, Avalanche, Plumper, and Moorhen ; and I anti cipate seeing the Northamptonshire Stakes carried off by MERRIMAC or DANAE. In the Whittlebury there are 29 two-year olds engaged against 18 three-year olds. Penalties and allowances cause the latter to stand thus relatively : st lb East Stanley .... „ . 8 11 Lady Clifden Nutbush 8 10 Doefoot Quicksilver • • 8 5 Egeria 8 5 Bas Bleu 'mans Ellerton .......... st lb Strike Icarus S 3 Knightsbridge Billy Dwindles , 8 3 Forester Ivanhoff Medusa Redpole shepherdess From the above lot, those that take my fancy are Lady Clifden, Doefoot, luaaus, and Forester, and I give the preference to the first and last named. The sport on the second day is likely to prove equally at tractive, as three at least of the eight items in the list aro cer tain to produce large fields—the Althorp Park, the Spencer:t Plate, and the St. Liz H an di ca p ; nor will less intere st five ere attach to the decision o f th e R ac i ng Stakes, shouldth three-year-olds entered run, as Kildonan, InAu _mbereu ~ Gabardine, and Strike, four D er by h ors es, are among th e u if he has any The Racing Stakes should go to Kildonan,takes to Black Pretensions for the Derby; and the andDiamond,eap his b lt onlyp perhaps h aps dangerousb e m eapypbeeereaCsteuievieedgfecratihpee.St, Liz HSpanish Fly for the Earl amongst o lyho r h s i e s s ad the From the way they backer!, that the race is all over but Spencer's Plate, it would se shouting, and I must mirere.

BETTING AT MANCHESTER-SATURDAY. This has been an exceedingly busy day at the rooms, a considerable degree of eagerness to be up and doing exhibit ing itself in The Rap being backed at 100 to 6 (taken) for the Great Northamptonshire Stakes. This, however, did not last long, as it soon became apparent that there was something wrong with this animal, and he, consequently, receded to 100 to 3 (offered) ; Horror, sister to St. Albans, and Rattlebone being in little better odour, and there were plenty of offers against any of them. Merrimac and Danae were very firm, and Plumper and Bevis quickly advanced from the outside division to 100 to 8 (taken) about each of them, while Lady Trespass and King of Kent had also their friends, but to no great amount of money.—For Earl Spencer's Plate, Spanish Fly was the only animal supported, 4 to 1 being taken very freely.— L I East Sheen seemed rather shaky for the City and Sub- ' urban, as 100 to 7 was offered ; and 12 to 1 was taken about Pancake, and offered against First Lord.—All that was done on the Derby or Chester Cup calls for no special notice, excepting that all the 50's to 1 that could be got were taken about King of Kent for the former. Kettledrum was in request for the Two Thousand Guineas Stakes, 7 to 1 being taken and asked for about him, while Klarikoff receded to 9 to 1 (offered), but no disposition was evinced to go beyond that figure. The fellowing quotations denote the position of the market at the close : NORTHAMPTONSHIRE STAKES. 7to 1 agst Merrimac (taken) 10 to 1 agst Danae (taken) 100 to 8 agst Plumper (taken and offered) 100 to 8 agst Bevis (taken and offered) 100 to 6 agst Lady Trespass (taken and offered) 20 to 1 agst King of Kent (taken) 20 to 1 agst Avalanche (taken) 20 to 1 agst Horror (offered) 20 to 1 agst Sister to St. Albans (offered) 25 to 1 agst Rattlebono (offered) 100 to 3 agst The Rap (taken and offered) EARL SPENCER'S PLATE. 7to 2 agst Spanish Fly (taken) 12 to 1 agst Touch me Not (offered) 20 to 1 agst Polyolbion (taken) 20 to 1 agst Spicebox (offered) 10 to 1 bar one (offered) CITY AND SUBURBAN. 12 to 1 agst Pancake (taken) 100 to 8 agst First Lord (offered) 100 to 7 agst East Sheen (offered) TWO THOUSAND GUINEAS. 7to 1 agst Kettledrum (taken) 9to 1 agst Klarikoff (offered—take 10) 10 to 1 agst Overton (offered) 11 to 1 agst Matador (taken) 12 to 1 agst Sweet Hawthorn (taken) 12 to 1 agst Russley (offered) 12 to 1 agst Diophantus (offered) 25 to 1 agst Walloon (taken) 33 to 1 agst Gardener (taken) DERBY. 33 to 1 agst Knight of the Thistle (taken) 33 to 1 agst Matador (offered) 40 to 1 agst Klarikoff (offered) 40 to 1 agst King of Kent (offered, 50 to 1 taken fr) CHESTER CUP. 11 to lon the field (offered) 14 to 1 agst Wild Rose (offered) 20 to 1 agst Wallace (taken) 25 to 1 agst Horace (taken) 25 to 1 agst Killigrew (taken) 40 to 1 agst First Lord (offered, 50 to 1 taken) ARRIVALS AT NORTHAMPTON.
