CITY, Two O'CLOCK, • The Livorpool Cotton Market yesterday closed heavily, but with more steadiness ; compared with Friday's rates, prices of all kinds were unchanged. The sales wero es6mated at 6,010 bales, including 780 Pernam and Maianham, at 011. to ; 50 Bahia, GO. to 6,1 d. ; 100 Egyptian, Gad. to Bd. ; GOO Surat, 40. to 51d. ; and 80 Sea Islands, 11,id. to 13d. per lb. The Railway Share Market was not quite so firm as on Tuesday, there being a slight fall in prices. The public sales of colonial wool commence this evening, and it is expected that about 70,000 to 80,000 bales will be offered during the series. The advices from New York state that the mar ket for speculative securities was iu a very unset tled condition at the latest date, and it was gene rally considered probable that prices would recede since a disposition was manifested by the operators to realise their profits after the recent improve ment. The Cotton Market was arm but quiet. Bread stuffs were fully supported, and the demand for flour for shipment to Europe had increased. The Australian accounts brought by the Earl of Sefton, which arrived yesterday, are generally con sidered favourable. Gold had receded to 765. 6d. per oz. In New South Wales, also, trade appears to have improved. The half-yearly meeting of the London Joint Stock Bank has also been held'to-day, at which the report was presented, showing the net profits for the half year to have been 92,5861. 18s. 6d., from Which the directors made a dividend at the rate of 12!, per cent. per annum, with a bonus of 103. per share, leaving a surplus of 25,086/. to be carried forward to next account. The report was well re ceived, and thanks were voted to the directors. The Bank of England d.iiectori at their meeting to-day have made no change in the official charge for discount accommodation ; but, although the minimum is still 4. 1 i per cent., the r&tes in Lom bard-street continue at 4 per cent., or a fraction lower. At the present quotations the Continental exchanges are firm, and if further remittances of gold from Australia should arrive, and the exports of gold to Paris, he., diminish, the authorities in Tbreadneddle-street will, no doubt, speedily an nounce a reduction of a half per cent. Yesterday the receipts of specie were large, viz., as follows : Per Earl of Sefton Melbourn.-..........£240 000 Flancisllenty Portland Bay 428,000 1) Atlantic New York 183,000 Total £851,000 This total is very considerable, and at the pre- Rent moment cannot fail to produce a beneficial iofluence on the general condition of the money karket. The F un d s have improved to-day, bat there is still an absence of animation. The return of favourable weather, and the large arrivals of specie :": 1110 re than a million sterling having been received 7 11 s week—have naturally imparted a firmer :Ile to the market. Consols for money have been 4 4 to 95i, and for account 95,1 L and since R educed 96. The New 3 per Cents. are 962 and the rcluced 95i to 96k.

A now writ was ordered to he issued for the borough of Thrchester, in the room of Mr. H. G. Sturt, wit) has accepted the Chiltern - Hundredg PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Walmesley state Bill was read a tkird time and pals d. CHARITIES BILL. Oa the motion fur the secand reading of this bill, Mr. MOWBRAY complained that no reason had been given, on the introduction of this bill, for cantinas the exception in favour of RoMan Catholic charities. In 1853 a temporary arrangement was come to, and it was agreed that the Roman Catholic charities should n,t come under the Charitable Trusts Act for two years. Last year the exception was continued till 1856, and now it was proposed to continue it for another year. He objected to this continuance, and was of opi nion that the Roman Catholic charities should he placed on the same footing as all other charities. He moved tbs. second reading of the bill that day three months and he gave notice that if he was unsuccessful in that motion, he should move in committee that the Ist of June be substituted for the Ist if September, that the question might VG e considered at an earlier period of next session. Mr. BAINES said that when the Charitable Trusts Bill was under the consideration of the house in 1853, it was distinctly recognised on both sides of the house that there were peculiarities connected with Roman Catholic Charities, such as prayers and masses for the dead that prevented their being then placed under the Charitable Trusts Clrninissioners. The right hon. gentleman having entered rather fully into the proceading with reference ti the bill of 1853, said he hoped the house would sanc tion the second reading of this bill, and continue its operations for another year. He assured the house he was dissatisfie I with the distinction complained of— (hear, bear)—and he promised the house that it should not be his fault if fire 'distinction was not altered, and the Roman Catholic charities put upon a more sat►sfac tory footing. Mr. HADFIELD, in a speech complaining of the large amount of business on the paper at that late period of the session, gave his cordial support to the hi 1. Mr. BARROW said that late last sesion he was in formed by the Solicitor-Gcntral that county hospitals and county asylums were exempt from the interference of the Charity Commissioners, but he found that was not the case. In his county the commissioners had demanded a statementof those charities, which were supported mainly by voluntary contributions. The interference was objec tionable, and he hoped instructions would be given to the Charity Commissioners nut to interfere with them in future. Mr. SPOONER. relied on the statement of the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Baines) that an alteration would take place with reference, to those charities next session. He asked the right hon. gentleman to distinctly pledge himself that the Ist of June should be substituted for Ist of &vein ber. Mr. BAINES said ho was unable to make such a pledge. Mr. HENLEY said there ought to be a distinct pledge from the Givernment that this subject should be dealt with early next session. It was a disagree. able thing to drive private members to check these continuances, and he hoped the Government would give the house an opportunity of considering the sub ject. _ . Sir G. GREY concurred in the opinion expressed, that it was desirable a bill should be introduced next session, to place Roman Catholic charities in the same position as (nther charities. _ - Sir H. WILLOUGHBY' hoped the Government would prevent the interference of the Charity Com missioners with county hospitals, &3. It had an in jurious effect on these institutions. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said ho should have been much surprised if the Charity Commissioners had in. terfered with charities supported by voluntary contribu tions. He apprehended the accounts asked for by the Charity Clininis,:ioner4 to which the hon..member had alluded had reference to bequests left by charitable indi viduals for the support of those institutions. Mr. MOWBRAY, on the assurance given by the right hon. gentleman (Mr. Baines), withdrew his motion against the second reading of the bill, but gave notice of his amendment for altering the date in committee. The bill was the❑ read a third time, and ordered to be committed to-morrow. HOSPITALS (DUBLIN) BILL. On the motion fur the house going into committee on this bill, Mr. COWAN moved its commitment that day three months. Me disputed the wisdom and propriety of the measure, and accused them and the former Go vernment of want of honesty in dealing with the sub ject. He saw no reason why Dublin should receive a share of public assistance by grants from Parliament and Edinburgh be deprived of it. Attempts, he be lieved, were made some time since to put an end to these grants in a few years, but in consequence of the interfer ence of the hon. and learned member for Dublin, these at tempts were frustrated. The scope and tendency of the bill, if not its intention, was to place these hospitals per manently on the annual grants of Parliament or on the consolidated fund. He objected to the principle of par-, tiality here attempted, and claimed on principle the same privilege for all the hospitals in the United Kingdom. He moved the commitment of the bilk this day three months. Mr. HORSMAN said that the house was not called on to decide whether grans should be given to the hos pitals of Dublin or whether the grants were proper or not. B,pth had been decided by a committee, and the hoie4e was called on to cairy nut the recommendations of a commission issued last year for th better government of these hospita's. The grants were not permanent, but only fur tq-, long as parliament chose to continue them. It was competent for any hon. geetleman to move, next session, the withdrawal of these grants. Mr. WILLIAMS opposed the bill. Col. FRENCH supported the house going into com mittee on th e bill. After some fulthcr di , cussion, in which Mr. Mitchell, Mr. Hadfield, Mr. Napier, Mr. Craufurd, Mr. Vance, Mr. A.

THOMAS MOORE% !ir.inTirs of Tiv,c-ilas ?"corn. E,11!-el by tht, 117j 4 ,it Hon. Lord John Russell. 8 vols. Longman and Co. (FIFTH NOTICE Spirat adhuc amor at the commencement—Finis coronat opus at the conclusion—it is accomplished ! Moore's Memoirs are at length completed : at last ' l7 Lord John Russell has found himself enabled to consummate the final tribute of a faithful friend ship—a friendship so intrinsically real and earnest that it has discovered for itself the means of being thus posthumously perpetuated. A friendship knitting together during their lifetime the sympa thies of a Whig Duke's son and of the son of a Dub lin grocer—coupling together, after their separa tion by death, the names of the poet Moore and the patrician Russell—the once Prime Minister of Eng land, assuming in regard to the Irish melodist the delicateand responsible office of his biographer. In discharging the duties of that office Lord John after -all, wo cannot but.think, has acquitted himself very judiciously. Notwithstanding the sneers of sonic and the snarls of others, lie has contrived to Call ' duct the Memoirs gradually to their conclusion in a spirit of mingled reserve and candour, manly can dour and adroit reserve, preserving from first to last as editor of the papers committed to his charge for the purposes of collation and selection, an amiable and, it must be added, sometimes a most magnanimous equanimity. Sometimes—namely, when a writer of fiercer paSsions, or of more atra bilious temperament might have been roused to ' retort—stung into indignation by the brutal taunts or coarse scurrility of a mind in itself naturally spiteful, but rendered by the lap :le of time and the consequent growth of suspicion more than usually malevolent, at the very period when other men are endeavouring to cultivate at least the appearances of amenity, or the affec tation of dignified indifference. Serenely unin fluenced by mockery or by misrepresentation, the editor of these eight volumes giving us the Memoirs, journal, and correspondence of Thomas Moore, has brought them in due course of time to a state of completion, and, in doing so, has added to our national store of literature a voluminous contribution, replete in almost every page with the ripe materials, not the raw materials, but the ripe materials, of interest and entertainment. Already in our previous notices of the attractive work under review, we have spoken of it in general terms, as a production distinguished, among other qualities, by two very prominent and acceptable characteristics, those of memoirs abound ing in delightful anecdote and agreeable reminis cences. The latter of these two conspicuous cha racteristics we have already illustrated by detailed allusion to the numerous and motley crowd of celebrities introduced to our acquaintance, so to speak, in kit-kat or full-length, in profile or three quarters, in life-size or iu miniature, now in a ran dnui sketch, now in a mere silhouette by the piquant Diary of the observant melodist-humorist ! Even the anecdotal liveliness of the pro. duction, we have taken occasion, here and there, as opportunity tempted us, to in dicate incidentally by a casual bon mot or some w eu i r t t i e c i b s j i ene tparentheticallynow,however, t t r o o d a u fi c ., ed ) rd . lutr readers evidence, somewhat more minute and explicit, of the charm appertaining to Moore's memoirs as a repository of anecdote. _ A rather pleasant enterprise —we take it—seeing that the "good things," in this way, with which the Diary in particular is stored, happen to be, for the most part, very good things indeed, and very plentiful to boot. Apropos des bottes by the way, the specimens we shall have to give will require to be introduced—in other words " tumbled in " neck and heels, like a swarm of merry androws, leaping the garter on the saw - dust of au amphitheatre—these specimens of fun and frolic, quip and crank, drolleries the direct agtithosis of what the Dunciad has stigmatised as-- " All that on Folly Frenzy could beget Fruits of dull heat and sooterkins of wit." It is observable throughout that Moore had a natu ral relish for the ridiculous. He had a ready laugh for anything at all partaking of the facetious : whether he hoard of an absurd fellow meet ing a friend running through the rain with an umbrella over him, and calling out, to him as, ha passed, " Where are you running to in such a hurry like a mad mushroom?" or listened .to the good old story of the Irishman in the Marshalsea having heard his companion brushing his teeth the last thing at night, and then, upon Waking, at the same work in the morning : " Ugh, a weary night you must have had of it, Mr. Fitz gerald !" Among the multifarious anecdotes re lated by Moore, there are no lack, by the way, of those setting forth the drollery of his fellow countrymen in a light of peculiar ridiculousness. As for example, that recounted of a visitor asking a servant—"ls your muter at home ?"--:" No sir, he's out." " Your mistress ?"—" No, sir, she is out." " Well, I'll just go in and take an air of the fire till they come." "Faith, sir,that's out tool" Or that of the man asked by a friend to come and dine with him off boiled beef and potatoes: and who replied "That I will," says he, and it's rather odd it should be exactly the same dinner I had at home for myself, barring the beef!" Or, again, that story of laittrell's about the Irish lady who had been travelling with her family, and on being asked whether they had been at Aix, answered, " Oh, yes ! indeed ; very much at our ase everywhere 1" Or best of all, perhaps, as indicative of the pre posterous slips of the tongue peculiar, not to John Bull, but to Pat Bull ! that related by Moore as having occurred actually within his own experience when suddenly coming one morning (with an uncle of his) upon the dead body of a poor wretch lying upon the highroad between Dublin and Sandy mount. "He had been shot," says Moore, "just under the eye, and there was no other mark than the small hole through which the bullet had en tered. An old woman who was lookin g down at the body at the same time with us, said, 'lt was the blessing of God it didn't hit his eye !'" Not a few among the anecdotes and witticisms related by the Irish melodist come back to us, of course, as very old friends, known, years ago, familiarly. Some of them, indeed, regular "Old Joes" very much fumbled, and towzled, and dogseared, and threadbare. Scarcely any one, for example, re quires to be reminded of the uncleanly whist player to whom it was said, " I say if dirt was trumps, what hands you would have I"—the same individual, one might conjewure, of whom it was remarked (epitaph-ically) by Kenny, that he "died of a cold caught by washing _his face."_ Almost. dVeryouSia I.4galri,has an, intimate personal acciriaint . ep,. an.oo=e_ sbana problem, discoverable, -Ave should fancy, soinew,hero..or.other in , the - pages of Miller- " Given the tonnage of a ship and the course she is upon ; required the name of the cap tain, !" While the same, doubtless, mightbe said with equal truth of that capital old story of the man brimming over with ill-temper, coming out of a room where he had lost all his money at play, and seeing a person (a perfect stranger to him) tying his shoe at the top of the stairs ; ".D.—n you (says he), ou're always tying your shoe' and kicked him down stairs. Not less familiar too are some of the theatrical legends here revived for our amuse ment. As, for instance, that of the actor saying by mistake— " How sharper than a serpent's thanks it is, To have a toothless child ! " Or that one of old Parker, who used always to say " coison'd pup" instead of " poison'd cup " a ludicrous lapsus linguce here mentioned by Moore with a laughable addition (new to us), to the effect that one night when old Parker spoke it right, the audience said " No, no ! " and called for the ether reading ! Something of the same kind, is the absurd blunder related elsewhere by our Diarist—about John Kemble parforming one night at some country theatre one of his favourite parts, and being interrupted from time to time by the squalling of a child in one of the galleries—until at length, angered by this rival performance, Kemble walked with solemn step to the front of the stage, and, addressing the audience in his most tragic tone, said "Ladies and genttemen, unless the play is stopped the child cannot po,ssibly go on, !" A French theatrical anecdote told to Moore by an actual 'ear-witness of it, np other than Lord John Russell himself, is, to our thinking , in its way, ab solutely delicious. Seated next a man at the Theatre Francais, who was very much discontented at the way in which the play (" Cinna ) was acted, Lord John heard him , on the following line being spoken, Ou laissez-moi refiner, ou laissez-moi mutter, "On laissez-mot st,gler, ou laissez-moi sortir ! " Several delightful stories, by the by, are told here about that Prince of French wits, Charles Maurice Talleyrand--one whose sayings would have tickled the risible muscles of Voltaire, and have been dear to the memory and the note-book of the Chevalier Bouffiers 1 Hear that story of somehody who squinted asking him Comment vont les affaires, and his answering Comore veus voyez ! Listen to him one day when Bobus Smith hap pened somehow in conversation .to speak of the b e auty of his mother, saying C'etott done votre pere qui n' etoit pas bten ! Hearken to that laughter moving reminiscence of his correspondence—the story about the lady who wrote to him (Talley rand), informing himin high-flown terms of her grief on the death of her husband, and expecting an eloquent letter of condolence in return ; his answer only being Belas ma dame. Votre affecttone, &c., Talley rand ! In less than a year another letter from the same lady in formed him of her being married again; to which he returned an answer in the same laconic style—Oh, oh, Madams ! Votre affectione, dc. , Talleyrand. A companion anecdote illustrative of Talleyrand's nameless whiMsicality being introduced in an eatlier page of these amusing memoirs. The anec- . dote, related by Dedel, of the Duchesse de Gram mont (sister of the Due de Choiseul) coming to dinner, and on her passing through the ante-room where Talleyrand was standing, he looked up and exclaimed significantly, "Ah 1" In the course of the dinner, the lady having asked him across the table why he had uttered the exclamation of oh ! on her entrance, Talleyrand, with a grave, self-vin dicatory look, answered "Madame, je n'ai pas dit oh ! j'ai dit ah ! " To which adds Moore—" Co mical, very, without one's being able to define why it is so." . Bon mots, grave and gay, are recorded by Moore of others beside Talleyrand. Mention, for example, is made of the late heroic Sir Charles Napier writing very beautifully and touchingly to a lady, upon the eve of his great victory at Meanee, —" If I survive I shall soon be with those I love ; if I fall, I shall be with those I have loved !" Turn ing at a glance from the sublime (as this may be called without much exaggeration) to the ridiculous —what a provocative of mirth there is, in that allu sion'to Scroope Davies calling some person who had a habit of puffing out his cheeks when he spoke, and was not remarkable for veracity—" The .2Eo hian Lyre." Or, better still, that anecdote related by Kenny about Charles Lamb being once bored by a lady praising to him "such a charming man !" &c., ending witli" I know him, bless him 1" On which Lamb exclaimed—" Welt, I don't, but d—n him at a hazard ! " A gentleman resembling this unfortunate lady, in one respect at least, is alluded to elsewhere by Moore as the victim of one of Lord Pluukett's punning sarcasms. " Mentioned," ho writes, " Plunkett's joke on some one saying Well, you see —'s predictions have come true. Indeed,' said Plunkett, ' I always knew he was a bore, but I didn't know he was an augur." Sundry old friends we fancy we recognise here and there with new faces. Take that comical definition blurted out by Dr. Carrie (hot both by name and by nature) when teazed by a frivolous Blue to tell her the precise meaning of the word idea (about which she said she had been reading in some meta physical work, but could not understand it). " Idea, madam," at last angrily exclaims Dr. Currie, " Idea, madam, is the feminine of Idiot, and means a female fool." The very counterpart in its way of Douglas Jerrold's witty definition somewhere of Dogmatism,—" Dogmatism ? liog matism ? Why, it's, of course, Puppyism arrived at full maturity I" Agaiu—Mercer's mention of a punster who , had so much the character of newer opening his mouth without a pun, so that one day upon his merely asking some one at dinner fur a little spinach, the person stared, looked puzzled, and said, Je vous, demands pcvdon, M onsieur, mais pour cette fois, de fie comprends pas I—is only an other version of that about Theodore Hook being in vited out under the like circumstances as a wit to be lionised, and after remaining dumb during the first course (amidst general expectation) asking his neighbour at last to pass the salt, whereupon everybody in company burst out a-laughing, and said "it was too bad !" Two capital mots are mentioned by Moore in his Diary as having been uttered by Madame de. Coigny. One in which she remarked about a woman who had red hair and all its attendant consequences (some one having ob served in addition to this that she was very virtu ous)-oai, elie est comme Samson, elle a toutes ses forces dans ses cheveux! The other, in which Madame de Coigny said in reference to her own bad voice, Je n'ati gu 'une voix centre snoi—c'est le mienne ! Quite as epigrammatic iu its way is the reply said 'to have been made by the Prince Ligny, who had been trying unsuccessfully to make a piece of water in . his grounds, and who told him there had been a man drowned in - it °Wait U2l, flatteur ! Con spicuous among the facetire preserved fur us by , Moore in his Diary aro the subjoined. The epitaph on the man who was very fond of oysters, and who died from a surfeit of them : " Tom Lies in these cloisters ; If at the last trump He should not jump, Cry Oysters !'" The notion of Jekyll at Merchant Tailors' Hall, on being asked by one of that body to translate th.) motto, " Concordict res parvce crescunt," saying it meant, " Nine tailors make a man !" The incident of the Englishman giving a carte of a restaurateur (which he happened to have in his pocket) instead of his pusport, and the gend'arme maliciously reading it and looking at him—" fete de veaw ; pied de cochon ; pa suffit, Monsieur, c'est vous !" Enough, however. We have justified to the full, we cannot but think, the title given by us to these " Memoirs of Thomas Moore" as a really delight. ful Repertory of Anecdotes. As such alone we might commend them heartily to the lovers of light literature as an unfailing source of entertainment. We can eulogise them with reason howbeit, for qualities much more commendable, for qualities of larger and more enduring worth ; namely,. as con stituting for their author very brilliant and charac teristic memorials of his exquisite sensibility and sparkling intelligence, of the humour of hii wit, if not of the Celtic Music of his poetry, or the Orien tal splendour of his imagination. And so, doss •we here our notice of ,these agreeable and. volumi nous Memoirs of Moore, with a Hail and Farewell! LITERATURE. The Young Lord. By the Author of the " Disci pline of Life," " Clare Abbey," &c., &0.. 2 vols. - Hurst; and ljlackett. Those who have appreciated the former works by this authoress will welcome the appearance of these volumes. Nor will they be disappointed, as is too often t he case, when previous promise is unfule filled by present performance. This novel is the production of one who takes high and exalted views of life, and at the same time fully acknowledges the influence of softer sympathies, while she advo cates the claims of stern principle and uncompre mising rectitude. The characters are natural, we do not find ideal perfectien, or imaginary crime ; on the contrary, the chief purport would seem to be the dangers which surround the path of the g tod and excellent. These difficulties are skillfully depicted, and the reader cannot fail to he suttee: by the force and appositeness of the remarks made upon them. It is impressive to behold both sides of the question, not always to suppose mankind divided into two cliquecone for ever improving, the other as sensibly retrograding. The bad may make many approaches towards virtue, and the pure in purpose actually approach the wrong path. The hero is an admirable character, possessed of 'mattY Ovantages, with an upright mind, a kind heart, ,noble spirit, thatjearlesa of obstaeles, arid , scorning paltry motives, pressed on untiringly towards a'high and holy end. If one thing more than another occupied the thoughts, propelled the actions, and inspired the soul of Hugh Beauchamp, it was the work of benefiting his humbler neigh •bours. "He fought for his love when he fought for the poor." A casual observer might ques tion how he could be wrong, but the c tlm voice of reason, - and the sober reflection of truth, showed that he erred in his motive. He did not do right because it was right, he dii not benefit his fellowmen, from the consideration that they were also his fellow-heirs of immortality, and that nothing he did for their good, their spiritu, 1 and moral advancement, but would turn to account either for their immediate benefit here, or be finally reaped by them in blessings in the harvest of here after. He desired to please them now, and to be pleased by their thanks. If he worked for them, he expected them to praise his labours ; if ha im proved them, he thought the first fruits of their improvement, should be exhibited in gratitude to him. It is not necessary to say that such is not, never has been, and never will be the result of doing good on earth. The state of society is too imperfect, the passions of men too violent, and the circumstances of life too trying, to admit of a simi lar conclusion. If the worker toil with that idea, he will find with the "young lord" that' all is vanity and vexation of spirit. Not that Hegh Beauchamp was a profitless labourer in the human vineyard : the good he did was incalculable, and the influence of his known principles was great. But he suffered hiinself from his own pride and presumption. Then is seen the best part of the narrative, when the proud nature that scorns to learn of earth is taught of Heaven. No that it is suggested that the misfortt ae that came upon the proud heir of all that this world can offer to the young, to dazzle, to fascinate, and to delight, was to be considered in the light of a judgment or a retribution, such as often comes down in terror, aF, the thunderbolt of the skies, upon the head of Liao presumptuous offender against right and reason. It is more the intention of the authoress to show that the good must suffer as well as the evil, and that the sharpeit sting of adversity for the conscience of the just is the knowledge that prosperity has been abused. The young heir of the Beauchamps overrated himself in supposing that he should be the primary object of all around him. He was taught a very different lesson when a season of distress arrived, and poverty—that touch stone of the feelings—knocked at the doors of the people he had striven to serve. It was not only in a public capacity that this highly gifted, well intentioned, yet mistaken man, committed errors ; in private he was also unfortunate. His father had been appointed guardian to a young lady, by her father, who was abroad, and entertained a high sense of the superior qualities that distinguished the Beauchamps. He arranged that if Lord. Sin gleton died before himself, the trust should devolve upon his son, in whom, though young, he felt im plicit confidence. All came to pass as had been foreseen, and Hugh, then Lord Singleton, became I the guardian of Sybil Moore. • Nor was her father mistaken. Nowhere could a more zealous, efficient, or upright deprsitory of the important duty have been found. The faults, as usual with the young lord, were on the _surface. His manners undid the works his mind planned so wall. He was par ticular in one thing—he placed his young,wsrd with a relation of his father's, who lived in the vicinity of Beauchamp Park. With this kind friend and his wife and daughter Sybil was parti cularly fortunate. Annette Beauchamp is a most Winning character—one of those rare and gentle beings who are ever intent on serving others. It is impossible to exaggerate the good effected by such natures in a world of selfishness, and Sybil was among the many who was improved by the modest village maiden. Sybil Moore was wilful and passionate, impossible to be governed by force, buteasilyinfluenced bylove, and affected by the sight of virtue.. She showed her intrinsic goodAispositien by conforming herself to the simple ways of her -new home, 'instead of pining after the banished splendours of-her former life where she had been a leadine star to every eye," from her beauty, grace, ancreacehmplishments.' Lord Singleton did not try_ to influence her, but commanded, and she unwilling to submit to one so near her own age resisted, and . the consequence was continual struggles for supremacy. After many troubles Sybil resolved to visit some of her former friends, who were anxious to see her again. Her guardian knew that if he spoke no use would be gained ; he therefore sought his constant helper in all emer gencies,_. the _playmate of his boyhood, the com panion of his youth, the gentle Annette Beau champ. He little knew the suffering he was giv ing to her when having begged her to dissuade her friend frorn the journey, he went on to confess that the real reason that formed the difficulty of his communicating with Sybil was his own attachment to her. For once the spirit ready to help the) ' troubles of others was lost in its own bitterness. " There are climates in which the sun goes down suddenly, and while it is day no twilight prepuce; the mind for the shadows of night. So suddenly went down the sun•of Annette's existence. What a single word can do !" Rousing herself she pro mised to do her utmost. L failed, however, and Sybil went away. Soon after her departure the: summons came to Annette. Always delicate, tbs . , shock she bad mentally sustained, joined to ties effects of a cold winter, laid ber low. Trouble, was paramount in the once happy village. The young lord had always been warned to ten careful of tais sight. He neglected the warning, and., just at this period he began to feel symptoms of a catnip , - evil. Sybil returned unharmed by contact i with givolity to see lier dying friend. On her deathbed Annette abjured her to overcome her pride, and follow the dictates of her real feelings. should. Lord Singleton again seek her band. In a fit of auger and misapprehension, Sybil had rejected him before her visit to London. Awed by the selerrinity of the scene, Sybil promised, if the op p )rtunity again occurred,' to agree. Annette riehtly judged her friend in thinking that the affliction in prospect would hasten instead of delay her generous nature, to agree to share the lot and -walk in the path of one whose way on earth had been darkened by the hand of God, possibly to show him that Heaven's sweetest blessings might yet be his—sympathy and affection. While she sunk to her last lest, happy ire this conviction, very . different was the reality. Never would the proud young lord he beholden in darkness to one who had scorned him in light. He maintained a friendly intercourse with her, but that was all. Previous to this time he had resigned the trust reposed in him to Mr. Beauchamp, so now no tie connected them. The long winter he passed in town, trying reaie lies that resulted in total blindness,- was an event"ul one to Sybil.. She learned to know her self. What all the excellence of her former guar dian coull not in the least degree do for her, she did alone in the house darkened by death. Many events occurred which tested the newly-acquired humility of the learners of life's lessons. A. cousin of Hugh's, to whom he had been very kind, now in his turn strove t) cheer the sad life, by pointing out to him what an observer can often find—the, truth—while those concerned are ignorant. Pride had its last struggle here, but finally succumbed, and the result was, the union of two haughty na tures as ever existed. Both had been trained since they first met, one by the destruction of his hopes, and the other by their fulfilment:- Sybil never suffered more than when left to herself, while Hugh Beauchamp never felt more real satisfaction than when dependent on kindness. All showed it to him, which triumph his proud spirit never achieved, in its days of strength and splendour. It may seem a sad end to the record of youth and beauty, the pride of man, and the love of woman, but all those advantages did not give satisfaction, much less peace, when possessed, and their depri vation showed the way for better things to somein their stead. "Not enjoyment and not'sorrow" is the best and wisest description of life that the poet can picture or the novelist portray. This is peculiarly the representation here given of exist ence. The last words spoken by the young lord, as they wandered at evening over his-splendid do main, were called forth by some exclamation of delight by Sybil. Then, whet' thinking of her matchless beauty, that had charmed him so often, now never to be beheld, ho said, " Oh, Sybil, to chink I shall never see you !" This is, after a real harbinger of human life ; something le wanted, or desired, or missed; some treasure is lost, or found too late. The narratives that sl ow el to be straight, at least, are fabulous in their in stability, without the moral of the fable. Without trenching on subjects unsuited to the consideration Of the pages of fiction,' tbe detailer of .the events of life, should make manifest, by the tone of the composition, by the spirit if not the letter, that undimmed lustre can only shine whive the eyes of the blind shall be opened. Such considerations refer only to the higher class of works, to which this book pre-eminently belongs. It is adapted to the taste of the superior in feeling, as murk ac the intelligent in intellect. It aspires to set forth unworldly precepts, and to influence in the direction of a higher than an earthly standard. All must acknowledge the purity of its motives. the genuineness. of its expressions of feeling, and the force of its arguments. The story has the in terest which an earnest mind imparts to everything under its direction, and will reward reperusal, when the trifling productions of the hour or the day arc cast aside in weariness of spirit. Enthu siasm is not awakened here for any ideal hero or or heroine ; they are shown faulty and human in their good, as others are in their evil qualities. A fair specimen of the page of existenceds,unfolded . befereltS;- - tri t tvbiat'tliose Who appear on the scene, are by turns influenced by the various ruling pas-. sions of human nature. As the plants are braced by the rude storms, and nurtured by the gentle showers, while their blossoms unfold in beauty, some reclining in the shade of earth, others shining in the light of heaven •, so the germs of the cha racters are trained by different -agencies, varying in action, uniting in thought, constituting the course of what the authoress has graphically and emphatically described, as the discipline of ,life. With so momentous a subject, it is not a matter of surprise that the work should bo the exponent of dep feelings, as it is the indication of lofty prin ciples ; that it should seek the approval rather than the admiration of its readers; and, looking through Nature up to Nature's God, draw the inspiration of its eloquence from the shrine of truth. ~_> PREFERENCE SHAH:II:Lk.
