CURIOUS CASE orFELONY.—Robert Carrington, of Keytwe, Bedfordshire, and Charlotte Dyde, barmaid, of 68, Castle-street, were charged with stealing a quantity of prop erty belonging to Mr. John Saul, builder, of 27, St. Jam Ds's-market. M r. Saul said the female had been a confidential servant, and a fter she left, afew days at ago, property, which he foundw ho missed a quantity of her lodgings. Ho wished to wish t b e lenient, and did not o press the case against her. In spector Walker said they were brought from Bedford shire yesterday. Mr. Saul said the prisoner Dyde had been in his service e l even months, and left to got marri e d, The property ho m i sse d consisted of counterpanes, blankets , e.f .. 4 mother kept a presented to him th at the male prisaner, & c, Dyde re public-house. He found them both at -Keysoe, and she was rather surprised to see him. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should think so. Thomas Tillyard, 4, Bedfordshire constabulary, said he i l found all the articles at the cotta g e the femal e was . ving at. The prosecutor gave his evidence very reluctantly, and seemed disposed to withdraw the charge, but could not make up his mind. The male prisoner was allowed to go at large, and the female was committed. WEST RIDING PARLIAMENTARY REGISTRATION. —lt has been determined to provide separate registration associations for the northern and southern divisions of the West Riding of Yorkshire, but in the event of an election taking place for the whole riding both associations will unite in carrying it on. These arrangements relate to the Liberal party only, but it is understood that the Conserva tives have or are about to come to a similar decision. The principal subject noted in the Madrid jour nals of the sth is the continued illness of the little Princess Donna Concepcion. When the Queen resolved to place the royal child in the hands of homalopathic doctors, the prin cipal physician of her Majesty, Dr. Corral, at once resigned his office, and the second, Dr. Prumont, left the palace. The Queen, it is said, has determined on visiting Andalusia in the spring. SHARE JIARKET-(TBIS DAY.) ORDINARY SHARES AND STOCKS. !Business done Share ) , Railways. Paid. Closing Business Price.

MEETING OF THE JOCKEY CLUB. NOTICES OF MOTION. By Sir J. Hawley, " The Corner" this afternoon presented few features of interest. The room was but thinly attended, and specula tion upon the first of the autumn handicaps, the Cassare witch, was invested with no particular movement likely to throw any light upon the subject. The on dits respecting the various trials that have recently taken place were quietly discussed, but were acted upon with extreme caution. Schism, who caused a schism between two noble lords having animals in the same stable for the Goodwood Stakes, has been for a long time expected to do " a good thing." From the eagerness evinced by the supporters of the stable to invest, that time apparently has arrived, the mare for money being undoubtedly first favourite, with every indica tion of seeing a shorter price. Ivanhoff was also supported at a point over his opening quotation. La Vapeur was not so firm as on Monday last, but layers ap- ' peered extremely cautious in their offers. Paste and Rapparce, upon a liberal outlay in the city in the morning, were strongly fancied, especially the latter, who, coming with a good reputation from the North, was in great demand, and at the close 100 to 6 was with difficulty to be obtained. Later in the afternoon Asteroid was intro duced at 20 to 1, but he speedily rose to 15 to 1, taken. 20 to 1 was freely noted down about Squire Percy from Drewett's stable, and Snapdragon, another representative of the Woodyeates stable, the latter being supported for most money. Clare and Petra found supporters at 40 to 1 each, Petra having a host of friends. 1000 to 15 each was offered against Donner and Blitz, Grouse, and Stampede, bnt without meeting with a response. 1000 even was betted on Asteroid against Schism, and 1000 even on Asteroid against Ivanhoff with a start. The Cambridgeshire was but slightly touched upon. Henham Lass would have been supported, but layers were shy. Bto 1 was repeatedly offered, and in a few instances 9 to 1 was obtained on the quiet ; the only other quotation that came under our notice was 500 to 30 about Camerino. For the Derby 30 to 1 was taken about Ensign, and 40 to 1 Old Calabar. For the Cesarewitch Stakes Schism held the post of honour to-day, 10 to 1 was taken a few times, and any advance would have been freely taken. Asteroid was backed for this event at 100 to 7, but the last offer we heard was 100 to 5, which was not taken. Rapparee was freely supported ; and there was a rush alternately on Snapdragon and Snapshot, but at the finish 100 to 5 was taken against the former, and 100 to 3 offered against the latter. Ivanhoff, Paste, and La Vapeur would have been supported at any slight advance upon the prices quoted. Closing prices : A Sweepstakes of 3 sovs each, with 25 added. One mile.

A general meeting of the Jockey Club will be held at Newmarket on Wednesday, in the Second October Meet ing, after the races, for a ballot and ether business. 1. That the alteration of the day of the July meeting having been proposed and adopted without notice, was in direct contravention of the rule of the Club, No. 40. 2. That in order not to incur the risk of invalidating the entries for the July and Chesterfield Stakes 1862, which have been advertised for Monday and Wednesday, the alteration of the days of the races for that year be confirmed, but that in 1863 the meeting shall commence on Tuesday as heretofore. 3. That in future, alterations adopted without the notice required by Rule 40, shall be absolutely null and void. By the STEWARDS, To place the winning posts of the Round Course, Bun bury Mile, and Chesterfield Stakes Course, nearly on a line with the south end of the Bunbury Mile Stand. In the event of this suggestion meeting the approbation of the Jockey Club, to place the Chesterfield Stakes start ing-post four furlongs from the winning-post, and to decide whether the starting posts of the Bunbury Mile and Round Course should be shifted back, so as to make the said courses the same length as at present.

Notice to Quit. By W .G. Wills, author of " Life's Foreshadowings." 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. This is a superior work, that reveals a consider able knowledge of character and gains on the at tention by its forcible delineations and vivid illus- trations. The chief point on which the story turns is powerfully related, and the reader cannot but be impressed with the manner in which the events are described. There is interspersed throughout these pages much emphatic writing; here we find a cir cumstance that is told in a sentence, and again some striking feature of character is made manifest at once in the dialogues recorded. John Brom is a very peculiar style of man, not at all calculated to attract esteem, but one sure to get on in the world. He is clever, pushing, and unscrupulous. It is interesting to note how two such diverse cha racters as he and James Heath first approximated and then separated. Neither the one nor the other was worthy of regard : of the two Heath had the advantage, but he was too vacillating. In fact, there is no one in the book that one really likes. Its heroes and heroines are very aptly described in their several styles; but they are not the gold dust of humanity by any means. Ellen Tern is a strange creature. Her bringing up was remark able in its isolation, and it affected her subsequent life by imbuing her mind with morbid ideas, and rendering her unfit to mix in general society from her peculiar notions, One of the most impressive passages in the story is that from which it takes its name, the danger that hung over the strong and self-reliant man John Brom. He thought himself secure for long years, till his hopes were rudely shattered and his mind harrassed by the torturing news that ever after haunted him, j till time fulfilled the threat that had appalled him at its first mention. He had been desiied to insure his life, and in accord ance with the suggestion he went to arrange accordingly. The destroying spirit of his peace met him in the shape of a most ruthless doctor employed by the office who informed him as plainly as words could tell that his life was hanging on a thread as he laboured under a disease of the heart, that was of a most dangerous class, and that a year or two was the utmost he could have to live. The effect upon him was overpowering in the greatest degree. " It took some fortitude to recall his scared senses, and focus them on the dread thought wl'ch when dropping upon the mind inghastly hints, un mans the stoutest. There have been merciful gra dations, there have been glimpses of the bony hand behind the veil; many a memento mori which gently familiarises shrinking nature. But for him, in youth, in strength, in glory, the veil is rent, and the gaping spectre exposed within a touch." For some time Mr. Brom was awed by the ,dread announcement, and kept him self in retirement, his spirits gradually were revived, and he hurried from the place, resolved to drown thought in a whirl of excitement ; and thus, by immersing himself in this world's most stirring pursuits, to shut out the remembrance that he might instantly be summoned to another world, of which he could realise nothing but dread. His end was very terrible at last, for he died as he was perpe trating an imposture, by declaring himself the author of Heath's play. It was a strange sort of compact that they had made between them, and it was one that, unsuitable in life, was doubly awful in death. Mr. Brom had risen to make his bow to the audience as the author of the admired and successful piece, when the long-expected and dreaded summons went forth, and the soul ex changed worlds while the plaudits of the public were ringing in his ears. The following passage gives a most impressive picture of the scene : That obeisance is not made to theihouse, good people. Observe it among your acclamations. It is still and solemn —arms outstretched even as a Persian adoring the sun ; nay, like a limp marionette whose cord is loosed. His ear seems dull to this demonstration, ye multitude, or else his thanks are borne on that vivid gush down the crimson cushion. In St. Paul's, the great recline as still and solemn, a peck or so of dust remaining of them ; could ye rouse them with your cries to their olden grandeur from the bathos of death. Ye are nought—your applause passes over him as will presently a graveyard wind. He will not arise. Hush ! can your plaudits turn the rushing planets ? can human fame stream one spark of light thrJugh eternal space ? Hush I There fell a strange troubled stillness over that multi tude. Wreathed beauty—lordly and dandified manhood— the clouds of heads above and below stared and murmured, aghast—Ho will not arise I Heard ye the call of God, ye multitudes ! summoning a human soul from amid its pride—its pomp—its sin. Saw ye the hand! God's hand has been amongst ye as pal pably as when it flowed in grim Hebrew athwart the wall. Hush! a mother's shriek. This is the tragedy of the night, indeed ; but ye were not bidden to this. Again, the cry from a mother's riven heart. Has your actress of the night ever caught that thrill of agony ? Hurry away to your homes, ye multitudes, in your strange, troubled stillness : ye have seen an act rehearsed which each and all of ye must once play, as yo melt away with your frivolous generation; pray that when ye pass, it may not be thus with you ; better in obloquy and ter-. turo—better rotting by inches, than thus on the very billow of earthly fame. Away I what follows is private, sacred, awful ! They are moving It. Its dread salutation „to the summons of God is done. It was a sad end to an enterprising man like John Brom that he should depart with a lie on his lips as it were. He left this world with false renown encircling him, and our last thoughts of him are painful ones. This description of his terror of death is given very truthfully, and doubtless there are many more around us in the pride of life who would be like him in their horror if such an announcement were made to them. They look on death as a far-off calamity in the vale of years beneath, with which they need not now spoil their plans and sadden their 1 lives, but to receive a " Notice to Quit?' is more than their philosophy can brook of their patience with stand. Ellen does not win our sympathy at all; she was of a kind nature, but she was so morbid in 1 her notions that she seemed to undermine the effects of her good intentions. After the death of Brom she married Heath. The conclusion of the work is tame in comparison with the earlier part and especially the middle of the last volume. Had the narrative ceased at the death of John Brom it might have been better, as the description is so powerful that the rest falls tame as an afterthought. Whether right or wrong, he is the hero, and with him the interest of the piece dies out. The reader will hardly coincide with the validity of Ellen's argument when she persuaded her husband to relinquish writing. It is quite contrary to the doctrine of employing and improving the talents entrusted to our care, which, beyond and above the opinion of the wisest of mortals, bears the stamp of Divine approval, and is the inculcation recorded in the most sacred of writings. Because of the infini tude of creation Ellen urged that Heath should regard his doings as petty, mean, and valueless, forgetting that nothing is valueless in the eyes of Him who sees the sparrows fall, nothing poor or contemptible that affects the welfare of his creatures. Those who, like Heath, possessed shining abilities, ought to improve them to the utmost of their powers. Let them influence others in. the pursuit of good, and thus benefit themselves and all around them now, and perhaps generations that shall spring up when they are sleeping in the dust shall be glorious witnesses to the fruit of their labours when the Lord of the Harvest shall gather in the grain. This work is sure to impress by its powerful descriptions, as well as from its impressive scenes and its knowledge of human nature. " Notice to Quit" is replete with incident, and stored with anecdotes. Besides the thread of the narrative, there is attractive interest in the relations given of the introduction of railways. Therefore it can be confidently recommended to the notice of readers, and they will find ample scope in its exciting pages for the, employment of their faculties of divination and reflection, while the moral that is hidden in its recital is one that can never be too forcibly im pressed on the minds, and recalled to the memory of the dwellers on earth. "In the midst of life we are in death." East and West, or Ones upon a Tims. By J. Frazer Corkran. 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. The - scene of this work is laid chiefly in Spital fields, and the " time" selected for the opening of the story is that of the cha n g e which produced such desolation among the hanflioom weavers. The introduction of machinery was truly as the writer observes, "The coming of a giant upon the earth to do the work of man by other and more powerful means, but exacting the iuevitable price of present sacrifice, which every great change entails." We are not shown the change itself, but we see its effects in the altered prospects of a young couple who had married in the better times. A number of characters are introduced among whom it is difficult to select the hero and heroine, but the story seems to be intended to ex press opinions and feelings, and to show individual peculiarities rather than to tell a direct talc. In deed a want of concentration is one of its principal faults ; the interest is not sufficiently centred on one group, and the effect would have been better had the author given greater prominence to a few chief figures, instead of dispersing the reader's attention among so many of equal importance. The history of Edward Lush is extremely sad. He is the only son of a rich banker, and has been subject from youth to attacks of morbid melancholy. The only person who can rouse him from these is the beautiful and gifted daughter of his old nurse. It is not surprising, therefore, that he loves his bene factress, and, 'during his father's absence, marries her. His father is enraged, declares his son to be insane, and commits him to a private asylum, and bribes the young wif e'd idered mother to agree to the marriage being null, as the parties were under age, _h_ c e, o , n u sn _ f° o r i t n n ; nate wife enters the service of a tapezr.l.Y. g oin g abroad, leafing her child with her meta r years after, this child, who had fallen in .to the hands or strolling players, is adopted by his own father, who was then allowed to be at larg;e,. Kate, the long-lost wife, is also traced by a series of happy coincidences. But notwithstanding the extraordinary good fortune which reunites father, mother, and son after so long a separation, their joy is short lived. It is in Pari s , d ur i ng t h e s t ar my d a y s o f Feb., 1848, that the scatt ere d family are re-assem bled, and in crossing one o f t h e b arr i ca d es t h e youth is killed by a s t ray s h ot, by the side of the martyred Archbishop.

Hissolo, o badiah, is very different from himself, is and driven from home by his father's tyranny. Hen ,7,.7 Mathe ws , the brother of Elias, and leis spirited French wife, the chivalrous Count I)'Avray an id the gentle Lady Softworth, the frank and. generous Justin Forbes and his eccentric ',parents, all serve to entertain or to interest in various degrees. The sketch of Mr. Samson Shepherd, who labours so indefatigably among the poor of Spitalfields, is a tribute to the cnergy and self-devotion of our home missionaries. The writer's theories on political economy bring him to wise conclusions. More he thinks may be done by training the yonng and quietly befriending the old than by overthrows of the social system, or the frantic proclamation of " liberty, equality, and fra ternity." Nevertheless, he is not insensible to the difficulties of the working man, as is proved by the following conversation. The two youths, Justin and Obadiah, having just returned from Paris, visit their old friend the weaver, and aro shocked to find him with a wife and four chil dren, earning only 12s. or 14s. a week by 18 hours' daily labour. " Why do you stand it ?" whispered Obady. " What would you have me to do ?" asked Bessonet. " I have meditated upon these things, and see no help for it. We are the necessary victims to a chan ge wrought by machinery. It is well that we are left something to glean, for as we aro poor low-born creatures, sent into the world to earn our bread by the sweat of our face, we are not en titled to claim compensation, like bishops and judges, and Government men, when they can attend no longer to their duties, or when offices are done away with by improved machinery of another kind. You cannot pension all us." " They can give you a fair price for your work." " So I said one day to the gentleman who writes on the subject for the 'Cornucopian.' Well, let us reason this matter out, my friend, says he. Labour, you see, is an element which enters into your piece of silk, and like silk value rises and falls according to the quantity m the market—if there be too much, down you go ; or you carry your labour to some place where it is craved and wanted ; so how could I answer that ?" " I answered him for you," said Marian, " but you would not back me up, John. I told him we were better nor bobbins and twist, for that bobbins and twist could not think and feel, and had no children to provide for, and were not responsible like us to God and. man for our thoughts and actions." "And you know how he answered—did he. not prove that you confounded two things together which- had no neces sary connection ? You are mixing up, said he, morals with machinery, and religion with the market, and conscience with calculation, whereas the whole subject resolves itself into simple supply and demand." " Oh I I know he used very fine language, and it vexed me to feel there was something wrong, and 1 could not find words to show it ; and it made me cry to see you give in so easily, John ; you who used to read books long ago—to be sure you have no time now for reading, and if you had, what would be the use of it for the likes of us—worth only twopence a day to begin with, to rise to a couple of shillings in our prime of life ; and when we grow old, Lord help us when we have no more labour to carry to market." " Is it not the duty of children to support their parents ? and you are both so good, that I am sure yours will support you," observed Just. " Out of how much, Mr. Forbes ?—and they would not be like their father and mother, brought up with knowledge of reading and writing, for there is no time now for school." " What did the gentleman say to that ?—asked Obady. " Well, I'm not sure that we went into the question." '• Stay, now," says Obady, " he said labour was ---" " Twist and bobbins," cried Marian. " Very good—now let me go on. Twist and bobbins ; but twist does not become twist of itself, and bobbins are made with hands and fashioned with skill—take twist first. You cultivate the mulberry-tree, and you watch over the young worms and feed them, or there never would be silk. Now why should there not be mulberry-trees for the little silk weavers as well as the worms F" Marian laid down her iron, bubcoula only catch a glimpse of meaning. "I see what you are driving at, Mr. Obady," cried John Bessonet ; " that if labour is to be on a par with the things, without which they would be useless, why is it the labour animal should not be cultivated?" "Does not the owner of a horse, and a bird, and a dog, try to develope all the qualities of his animals, and all the qualities of his plants And the more these qualities are developed the more valuable they become. Then why should man be worse treated Why should not all his qualities be developed—his mind, his soul, his heart?" " Beeause," answered John, for the first time bitterly, and yet more sadly than bitterly " his mind and soul are not wanted in the labour market, only his hands and feet, which machinery is beating out ; and then what is to be come of him? " Thon he will have more time for the head and heart," concluded Just. " Ah, if it would come to that I" sighed Bessonet. " Just is right," said Obady ; " it must come to that, or come to the ruin of the race." The scenes in Paris are described with fervour and vitality, and give some idea of the wild excitement of that short-lived triumph. Madlle. Rachel's de clamation of the " Marseillaise" is introduced, and the wonderful effect produced on the audience is lividly described. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to this morning's market were very moderate. The demand for both red and white qualities WAS rather inactive, nevertheless Mon day's advance in the quotations was quite supported. In foreign wheat the business doing was somewhat re stricted. Generally speaking, however, the quotations ruled firm. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair request, at full currencies. Malting barley was dull, and prices had a drooping ten dency. In grinding and distilling sorts very little was doing. New malt moved off slowly, at late rates. For old there was scarcely any demand. There was a steady demand for oats, and their value was well maintained. The trade for beans and peas was steady, at full cur rencies. In flour a fair business was transacted, on former terms.
