The sales were 7 , 0 00 bales, 1,000 on speculation, comprising 380 Pernam and Maranham, si-d. to 6l c d. ; 100 Egyptian, sd. to 61d. ; 300 Surat, 31d. to sd. ; 4 " 30 Sea Islands, 10td. per lb. In the Railwa y Share Market a steady feeling existed, and prices Were rather dearer than on Friday. The intelligence from New York by the steamer C anada renresents the demand for discount accom rnodation as having continued active; but trade w as healthy, and the merchants and others ex pected a material improvement as the spring ad .valieed. The importation of most articles of mer chandise was extensive, and an increased inquiry for Specie was likely to arise for remittances to Europe. The advices from California mention that trade v as exceedingly dull, notwithstanding the stocks most articles were much reduced. Heavy rains '1 bad fallen throughout the mining districts, and 1 22 great activity consequently prevailed. 50 In reviewing the receipts of the French railways 20 for the last two years, a comparison between them St, a nd the returns published by the companies in 10 Great B r i ta i n h as b ee n published, showing that • While both have increased during the war, the St. ''rench have progressed more in proportion. The st. gross amount of receipts on British railways in 1854 is set down at 464 millions of francs, and in 1855 2 4 ' 5 ' Lionel 5 06 millions, exhibiting an increase of 46 mil - 25 Lionel ; while the total receipts on French lines 4) Were 191 millions in 1854, and 252 millions in St. 185 5, being an augmentation of 61 millions. This to °Peaks well for the general management of the ti l'renohrailways. The earnings of the principal lines ,0 for the last week show the following increase 10 as compared with the corresponding week of 1854.

St Prom Madrid it is announced by telegraph St that the Society of General Credit at Catalonia 24 has been fully authorised by the Government to 2 commence operations. This will make the third 5 t tostitutim of the kind likely to be established in 2 gPain. 11 The Hashmy, from New South Wales, has arrived, with 70 ounces of gold. Her advices are to the 6th October only, and have therefore been anticipated. The corn trade is somewhat firmer to-day, and spring corn is at a slight advance. The satisfactory tone of the Continental advices respecting the arrangements in progress for the settlement of a peace is exercising a favour able influence on the quotations of English _securities, and business, both real and specu lative, is increasing.

There was a slight improvement in the deman I fat wheat in the country markets held on Saturday. In price,;, however, very little change took place. Spring corn, tb e supplies of which were moderate, was in fair request, 'at tho late decline. Most of the continental markets continue dull for wherrt, yet the decline in price has not been extensive. NC"! York letters state that about an average export business was transacted. Very moderate supplies of home grown produce were received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad were 6,950 quarters of wheat, 2,323 oats, 6,634 beans, 113 tares, 5,125 linseed, 5,765 rapeseed, 469 snisdry seeds, and 1,790 sacks of flour. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to day, coastwise, were but moderate and mostly in damp condition. By land-carriage, the supply was rather limited. The aggre gate show of samples was by no means large, and factors generally were firm in their demands. The among t of business doing in all kinds however was small, wit pout loading to any quotable change in the prices realised on Monday last. We were fairly supplied with most descriptions of foreign wheat. The demand o'as almost wholly contined to small parcels for immediate use, at last week's currency. In floating cargoes, very little was doing on foitmer terms. The show of English barley was moderately good, and the trade ruled somewhat active, at an improvemenit in the quotations of is per quarter. The demand for malt was heavy, but no change took place in its value. Oats moved off slowly, yet previous rates were suppc rted. There was a moderate inquiry for beans, at last week's quotations. White peas realised an advance of 2e. per quarter. Grey and maple qualities were unaltered. The flour trade was slow, at last Monday's decline in price.

The imports of foreign stock into London continue on a very limitel scale—the total supply received last week being only 710 head.

From our own grazing districts the arrivals of beasts put up this morning were unusually small, and the quality of most breeds was not to say first-rate. The beef trade was decidedly brisk, at an advance in the quotations real ised on Monday last of 4d per 81bs. The best Scots were worth fully 4s 10d per 81bs. The arrivals from Norfolk, Suffolk, and Cambridgeshire were 1,800 Soots and short-horns ; from other parts of England 400 of various kinds; and from Scotland 300 Scots. We were rather scantily supplied with most kinds of sheep, in but middling condition. The mutton trade ruled brisk, and the quotations improved 4d. per 81135. The best old Downs were worth 5s per Slbs. There was less activity in the veal trade than on Friday, yet prices were supported. The primest veal realised 6s per Sibs. _ _ _ Pigs were in moderate supply and fair request at full prices. The supply of Irish stock in the market was very limited, viz.-42 sheep and 12 beasts. - - Per Slbs to sink the offal". s. d. s. d. I a. d. a d.

The activity which was imparted to speculation by the publication of the weights for the Spring Handicaps was merely sliht and temporary. Betting is again at a stand still, and the movements in the turf market are likely to be distinguished by no incident of significance until the acceptances are placed before the public. Opinions are divided respecting Mr. Topham's han diwork at Chester; some persons unhesitatingly main tain that he has distributed the imposts with ability and impartiality ; others grumblingly assert that the weights are preposterously light. An old proverb, however, tells 113 that the proof of the pulling i 3 in the eating ; the merits or defects therefore of the Chester Handicap will be pretty accurately determined by the numerical strength of the acceptance 3. In the prelimi nary "dip" which I made into the Cup on the first ap• pearance of the Handicap, I indicated certain horses which. I considered " well in." The little betting which has yet taken place shows that the opinions which I then expressed ar,s shared by the sporting community. Although the success which attended the steeplechase meeting at Oundle last week was not unqualified, yet it was sufficient to stimulate the promoters of the gather- ing to increase their exertions to establish the under taking on a permanent and profitable basis. They who desire to see steeplechases " regenerated" will cordially support the "officials" at Oundle in their effJrts to im prove the character of the s port. By the way, I have received the particulars of a very pretty quarrel which has arisen between the proprietors of the Uxendon Farm, Harrow, and the Clerk of the Course at Warwick. In justice to the latter, I must state that he has been very badly used ; but should he carry out his threat of publishing the letters which he has in his possession, he is likely to place Mr. E. in a very awkward position. The cause of the Coventry Stand's not being forwarded to Oundle may, it is said, be traced to the " difference" alluded to. January 28. A FRESH MAN. LAW INTELLIGENCE- - (This Day.) COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Sitting at Nisi Prim, before Mr. Baron Bramwell and _ . a Common Jury.) ALLEN V. THOMPSON - WHAT IS t A GENTLEMAN ?" Mr. Kerr appeared far the plaintiff, and Mr. Peters dorff for the defendant. This was an interpleader. The plaintiff was the owner of a house situate at Union-grove, Clapham, lately occupied by a person named Dove, clerk in the Audit-office, Somerset-house, and the defendant was a bill discounter and sheriff's-officer. Dove being in diffi culties got into arrears of rent to the amount of 341. 10s., and wishing to leave the above premises gave the plaintiff a bill of sale on his furniture as collateral security in the event of his not paying the arrears by instalments, as agreed upon between them. One in stalment had only been paid, and three were now due. The defendant had discounted a small hill for Dave, which he bad been unable to pay. The defendant thee sued him, and obtained judgment against him, and on his levying, was met with the bill of sale in question, which had been duly registered in the Court of Queen's Bench. In his cross-examination, Dove stated that the bill of sale was prepared by his brother-in-law, and attested by his clerk. He bad petitioned the Court twice, and was now paying 130/. par annum out of his salary, by direction of the commissioner, towards liqui dating his former debts. Mr. Petersdorff took objections to the description of Dove and the attesting witness in the bill of sale, and affidavit accompanying it, as not being correct and in accordance with the statute. One was that Dove was de scribed as " a gentleman," whereas he should kave been described as " a clerk in the Audit-office, Somerset house." He also characterised the bill of sale as a ruse on the part of Dove to prevent any of his creditors levy ing for their just debts. The learned Baron, in summing up, said,the defendant had been reproached by the plaintiff's counsel with having taken exorbitant interest, and his being a sheriff's officer. He thought it was high time to get rid•of these ridiculous aspersions with regard to exor bitant interest. No doubt bill discounting in many in stances was not in such respectable hands as they could wish, and be was afraid that so long as men were re proached for taking highdiscounts on doubtful securities, so long would the business be in the hands of the class of persons complained of. The sooner they abandoned casting these aspersions on bill discounters the sooner he thought they would get rid of the class alluded to. The jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff subject to the opinion of the Court above on the objection raised by the defendant. THE AUSTRIAN LLOYD'S COMPANY. It a general meeting of the Austrian Lloyd's Steam Navigation Company, held at Trieste, a report was read giving an account of its operations during the year 1854. As compared with 1853, the number of trips made by the Lloyd's steamers has increased from 1,465 to 1,875 ; the number of nautical miles run over, from 776,415 to 857,776, and the number of passengers conveyed from 331,688 to 361,071. The amount of cash conveyed was in 1853, 0,528,125 florins ; and in 1854, 85,317,675 florins; and in 1854, 25,317,675 florins (221,826,000 f.). The number of letters carried increased from 748,936 to 901,034, and the quantity of merchandise, from 1,017,618 Vienna quintals to 1,613,777 (90,371,512 kilos.). The number of small parcels decreased from 52,651 to 49,282. Notwithstanding this remarkable increase of activity, the financial balance-sheet of 1854 was not advantageous as regards profit; and, what had not taken place before for the last twelve years, the expenditure exceeded the revenue in consequence of the partial interruptions caused by the war at the mouths of the Danube, but more particularly from the increase in all the expenses connected with na vigation, and in particular in the price of coal. The gross receipts, it is true, amounted to 4,875,241 florins (12,676,000 f.), and thus exceeded those of 1853 by 1,423,823 florins ; but, on the other hand, the expanses amounted to no less than 5,824,647 florins (15,144,000 f.) making a deficit of 949,406 florins (2,468,000 f.). The nominal capital represented by shares, and by the bonds of the loan contracted by the company was, at the end of 1854, 11 millions of florins, or 28,600,000 f. The com pany possessed at that time 60 steamers, having together 9,440 horsepower, meauring 28,245 tons, and of the estimated value of 9,380,604 florins. To these must be added 93 steam-tugs and river barges, mostly employed on the Po. The lines, servel by the Lloyd's steamers are the Levant, the two lines from Trieste to Constanti nople and to Alexandria, and the three from Con stantinople to Alexandria, Thessaly, and Caramania ; in the Black Sea, the two lines from Constantinople to Trebizoed, and from Constantinople to Varna and the mouths of the Danube (Ibrail and Galatz) • in the Adria tic and in the other waters of Italy and Greece, the cor respondence of Trieste with Venice and Chiogga, as well as with Istria, Fiume, and the whole of Croatia, Dal matia, and Albania ; and, lastly, the lines from Trieste to Latraki, from the Piraeus to Calamaki, the Morea and Eubea ; and from Corfu to Malta, touching at Ancona ; Molfetta, and Brindisi. The communications between Trieste and the ports of Austrian Italy are daily ; on the other principal lines they are, according to their importance, twice or four times a month. In consequence of the competition caused to the Lloyd's by the English Peninsular and Oriental Steam Naviga tion Company, and by the French Messageries Imp - riales, the Austrian Government has allowed to the Lloyd's an annual grant of a million of florins (2,800,0000 for ten years from the Ist of Jan , 1855.

SEEDS. We have a moderate demand for most agricultural seeds: at about stationary prices. The sale for linseed and rap& seed is heavy, at drooping currencies Cakes show a dis position to give way in price, and the business doing in them is trifling.

A pleasant gossipping paper upon "Table Talk —leading off the eight new articles in the old Qitarterly--introduces us' in .imagination to the homes of John Selden, of William Haziitt, and of Samuel Coleridge. Nay, more, -it carries our fancy to the dwelling-place of Martin Luther, where we listen to him babbling, iii his slippered ease, about the wearing of love-locks by wo nen— aucl suddenly breaking off in his discourse with a; " Let us ttilk of sonAlling else," as though the theme were , too much for him to speak of with any degree of sustained equanimity. The contribution referred to comes to hand appropriately enough, midway, a 3 it were, between the anecdotal bio. graphy of Bidney Smith and the promised record of the Son Toots heard by the initiated at Samuel Rogers' breakfasts, hard by the Green Park. An earnest essay upon the noble subject of"" Reforma tory Schogs " next appea rs among the present con tents of the Quarterly, and evidences throughout the fact of its having emanated directly from the heart and the conscience of an active, genuine, practical philanthropist. A wag, too, in his way—as we glean from his casual record of the subjoined scale of the value of Boy Labour, as jotted down by a Farmer of the West of England :- 1 Boy is a boy ; 2 Boys are half a boy ; 3 Boys are no boy at all. The critical, biographical, literary, antiquarian palaver about " Menander," given immediately afterwards by another reviewer well "up in the eld Greek comedian's life and writings, as well as admirably versed in the recent - disquisitions upon the same, given to the world, of letters in 1854 by Charles Be.uoit, and in 1855 by Guillaume Guizot, will be seized upon as a welcome tidbit by the stu dents of classic literature. Strange is it to find the s old Christian sentiment— " Ile dies the earliest whom the gods love best—' articulated in so many words, centuries and cen turies ago, by the old pagan dramatist— " op 7ap Bern chiXopo - tr, an-Avoca:7u vtor•." Stranger still, almost, to find how accurately Aim. nander has expressed in Greek the grand truth that— " The voice of Conscience is the voice of God—" " Bporotc arcurry OlVitj,llll.o efOC " It is agreeable to turn over the pages coming to hand immediately afterwards, affording us, as they do, so genial a notice of Mr. Frederick Lawrence's recent biography of Henry Fielding, and giving us, while doing so, the memoir of our glorious no velist all over again, in a- form very ingeniously epitomised. Articles upon " The Neology of the Cloister," upon "Landscape Gardening," and upon "The Zoological Gardens," succeed, and these in turn are crowned by the political chapter of the Quarterly, for this once—relating, as a matter of course to the present (shall we say to the recent 7) War—its "Results and Prospects." It is amusing to find in the last-mentioned contribution, not the faintest inkling of an anticipation of the sudden collapse of all our warlike preparations, consequent upon the sinister auguries of a precipitate compro wise with the Russian Government. The New Quarterly Review. Those who are desirous to keep themselves ail courant with the literature Qf the day, and have not time for wading through many periodicals, will find the New Quarterly of service. In addi tion to a digest of current literature, most of the principal productions of the quarter, French, German, and Italian, as well as English, will be found in the present number, as was the case with its predecessors. L ITERATUR E. Reading Lessons. Edited by E. Hughes. Long- 11l ass. This series of reading lessons is published in two volumes, and has been undertaken with the object of supplying an assistant to teachers in the instruc tion of the young, and at the same time affording a course of reading books on the chief branches of English education. The different departments of physical geography, scientific biography, geology, vegetable and animal physiology, ethnology, na tural history, political and domestic economy, chemistry, mechanics, natural philosophy, astro nomy, music, and literature, are all treated of in separate divisions by authors of established reputa tion. It is justly remarked in the preface that it speaks well for the intellectual- progress of the future that men of such ability do not think it be neath them to popularise, for the use of the young, those sciences of which they are themselves success ful cultivators, and in many instances the acknow ledged readers. At the same time the difference of the authorship affords a variety of style very in structive for the perusal of the young. It must be understood, however, that the work is not intended for the very young or uneducated. The subjects selected, as well as the language and method em ployed, presuppose a certain degree of intellectual culture and development. At the same time it is to be commended for bringing the study of the pure sciences within the attainment of those to whom the scientific terms employed, or abstruse interpo lations, have detained from acquiring a knowledge of them in works of a more distinct scientific cha racter. It is well known that no department of knowledge tends so much to strengthen the reason ing powers, and therefore even a moderate ac quaintance with them is greatly to be desired, even if the student's pursuits should prevent them from being more directly useful to him. The rapid mitt of a large impression of the First Book encouraged the editor to prepare a second, in which the general method is similar, though each article takes the student a step forward in the science of which it treats. It only remains for us to add, in commend inc, this work to all self-instructors and teachers, that' the editor has used it for some months in the Royal Naval Lower School, Greenwich, of which he is head master, and has found it satisfactory and efficient. Vagabond Life in, Mexico. By Gabriel Ferry. James Blackwood. This work was originally published in Black. wood's Magazine, whose readers will doubtless re member its striking scenes and remarkable delinea tions. The writer was for seven years resident in. the country which he describes, and truly, if his picture is a faithful one, we cannot admire his selection of a residence. An utter disregard of human life, and wanton indifference to robbery and murder, are among the most prominent features of the Mexican character. Justice is most ineffi ciently administered, and nothing is more common than duels and assassinations in the open street. Nevertheless the adventures and escapes which the author encountered, are sufficiently entertain: mg to the reader, if itot very agreeable to the actor. The various wandering characters he met with, the leperos, the banditti, the miners, the thieves' lawyer, theJarochos, and their companions, are all sketched with vigour and effect. The his tory of the elopement of the young Spaniard, who was afterwards murdered, forms an interesting episode, and the author's pursuit of Don Tomas Verdugeo, whom the author followed for 240 leagues from mere curiosity, and who then proved to be a bravo, from whoa, for some . time, his life was in danger. Those who delight in nar ratives of adventures, and a re attracted byipic. tures of social existence in wi ld and lawless dis. tricts, amid the mixed and desperate characters here delineated, will find in this volume abun dance of interest and excitement.
