This has been a long story that has been well carried on in all respects, and the description of Florence Armytage is very ably done, and reflects the highest credit on the author. There is a moral, too, to be drawn, and many an adroit deceiver and apt ensnarer might learn a lesson fron t the awf u l scene at the deathbed of the prisoner. The sketch of her sufferings carries out the force of this remark_ ,, She was reserved for expiation in, thin world, who dares to predicate about the next? ' "as muttered that it was very hot, and threw the cell door open. The window was open already, and so her soul had elbow-room, and the Something, 7o know no t w h a t, came from between the parted '1 )8 of this worn sinner, and passed into the open going, God knows whither, and to be judged , God alone knows how. Truly her sins were scarlet, but there is snow that is white, and who can tell?" The story concludes, on the whole, in a satisfactory manner, and is a smart sketch in some ways of the prevailing foibles and glaring errors of the present 'ja y. " The Mystery at Fernwood" is concluded, an d is a readable romance of the sombre class, which will d e li g ht l overs o f g h os ts and visions of h aunted rooms and midnight spectres and appari tions. " Daughters of Eve" presents us this time w ith a French Celebrity, and appropriately and gracefully remarks that " England has no mono poly of the stock whence the best specimens of nature's rarest handiwork are derived." This series of sketches is very admirable, and affords a Useful reference for the lives of Notabilities. There are some graceful lines on " Twilight," which are pleasing and thoughtful; "Dreaming" is a paper !hat is worth perusing, and will suit the imaginative, who sometimes inhabit another World than the actual buying and selling o ne. " Muscular Education "is a sensible article, strongly advocating the advantages of a due atten tion to physical training in early life as well as mental and moral cultivation. The importance at taching to the preservation of the health in those f maturer years is also forcibly dwelt upon ; and the mistaken sacrifice of bodily powers to mental Pursuits, so fatal and so common an error in Tir day, i s con d emne d w ith d ue sever ity. It cannot," says the writer, "be too strongly enforced that, no matter how intellectual the calibre, or how sensitive the fibre, material health lies at the root of all. The brain must have its fat and its phosphorus. The heart must be touched with the bright and pure life-stream, or the pace begins to slacken, and the machinery yields to the vis inertia of earth till it stops dead. It is not too much to Say that the greatest achievements await those Who, having pursuits not necessarily favourable to health, nevertheless make it of the first consideration to attend to the culture of the body." Among the remaining papers is an article on Florence, render ing due homage to the attractions of the bright city of the Arno. go important variation has taken place in Foreign Securities, and the dealings have been restricted.

REMARKABLE ESCAPE.—On Saturday afternoon a youth named Weymouth Hatt, son of Mr. Stephen Hart, of Tillingham, was with hip; brothers engaged in splitting the butt eud of a tree which had just been severed from the stock, by blasting it with gunpowder, about four ounces of which were closely plugged into an orifice ; touch-paper was lighted, and the parties retired behind a haystack, when some time having elapsed before the explosion took place, Weymouth, judging that the paper had gone out, approached with the intention of relighting it; after striking two or three lucifers without result, ho was leaniag over it, when the powder suddenly exploded, rending and shivering the butt to atoms. The plug struck Weymouth's hat, which was forced to a great height in the air. One of the larger fragments struck him across the breast, and drove him a considerable distance, and he fell over the trunk of the tree, when some of the smaller p rtions struck him in the face, the blood flowing copiously. Most strange to say his in juries were comparatively trifling. 10. 6. n A e Sixp en ny _Magazine.

Most of the country markets, held on Saturday, were but moderately supplied with wheat. As the growers almost generally refused to scll except at an advance of Is. to 2s. per quarter, the transactions were much restricted. Barley was a slow sale; but other produce was firm in price. The French markets have shown rather more firmness, and in America large quantities of wheat and flour continue to be purchased for export, at extreme rates. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were very moderate. From abroad we received 29,732 quarters of wheat; 4,280 barley ; 8,502 oats; 5,019 beans; 3,047 linseed ; 8,102 ra?eseed ; 501 sundry seeds ; 509 sacks and 18,302 barrels of flour. Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of English wheat were very moderate. Owing to the nature of the American news, and to the consequent stop page of supplies should war break out, factors were very firm in their demands, and both red and white qualities of wheat were held at an advance compared with this day se'n night of 2s. per quarter. Buyers,however, were disinclined to operate except at last Monday's currency ; consequently, little progress was made with sales at the close of business. The quotations may be considered the turn—perhaps, in some instances, Is, per quarter—higher than Monday last. American wheat was held at considerably enhanced rates, and other descriptions of foreign were only obtainable by sabmitting to an advance in prices. The amount of busi ness transacted was small, at, in some instances, a slight improvement in the quotations. The trade for floating cargoes of grain was firm, and the currencies had an upward tendency. With barley we were tolerably well supplied, and all descriptions moved off heavily, at barely the late decline in prices. Fine malt was in fair request at full quotations, but other qualities met a slow sale on former terms. Oats, the supply of which was very molerate, sold steadily at full currencies. Although the show of beans was less extensive than on Monday last, the demand for them ruled inactive at that day's quotations, Peas moved off slowly at late rates. The supply on offer was small. The flour trade was very firm, and prices had an upward tendency. American barrels especially were held for en hanced rates.

The arrivals of beasts fresh up from our own grazing districts were seasonably good, both as to number and quality, and those from Ireland and Scotland were in full average condition. All breeds met a dull inquiry at a decline in the quotations, compared with Monday last, of 2d per 81b. The top price for Scots was 4s 10d per 81b. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire we received 2,220 short horns, &c. ; from Norfolk, 150 Scot s and short horns ; from other parts of England, 300 various breeds ; from Scotland, 300 Scots and crosses ; and from Ireland, 800 oxen and heifers. _ _ Notwithstanding that the supply of sheep was limited, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state at barely last week's quotations. D ,wns and best half-breds sold at from 5s 4d to 5s 5d per 81b. The general quality of the sheep was very middling. We have to report a dull sale for calves at about stationary prices—viz., from 4s 4d to 5s 4d per 81b. There was very little business doing in pigs at barely late rates.

COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before the Chief Baron ) REDMAN V. SHRUBSOLE. This was an action for breach of promise. The plaintiff was a widow lady, residing at Faversham, and the defend ant a gentleman of independent fortune living near the same place. The age of the lady was about 48, and the de fendant was upwards . of 60. The defendant, however, was in the enjoyment of excellent health, although somewhat lame. The defendant having visited the widow for some time, proposed, and was accepted, but shortly afterwards he became less frequent in his visits, and intentionally broke off the match on the ground of ill-health and lamenees.

HE ROYAL CIIARTER.—On 'Thursday the diver now eng aged in operations at Moelfre, the scene of the disastrous wreck of the Royal Charter, met with great suc cess, The late captain's chest, containing froni £40,000 to £50,000, was recovered. The circumstance was at once telegraphed to Messrs. Gibbs and Bright, Liverpool, ROYAL FREE HOSPITAL, GRAY'S-TNN-ROAD.—The number of patients relieved at this hospital during the week ending the 30th November was 2,883, of which 766 were new cases. The levant Herald of the 20th inst. has the fol- lowing : " We believe we may confidently announce that the long-vexed question of the Roumain union has at length reached its settlement. Last week the Porte communicated to each of the representatives of the Powers interested, a copy of the flrman by which it proposes to consent to the desired junction of the two provinces, and we learn that the condi tions under which it is willing to sanction that result have, with a few trifling exceptions, been accepted by the whole of the Legations concerned. The Porte consents to the complete legis lative and administrative union of the two Principalities for and during the life of the present Hospodar. The Fockshani Commission will, of course, be dissolved, and (the firman proposes) in addition to the one central Upper Chamber or Senate, there will be a Provincial Chamber for each of the Principalities. At the death or abdication of Prince Cousa the present status quo will, ipso facto, be re-established, so as to afford the two peoples an opportunity of reverting to their separate Governments, or of manifesting a collective wish for a continuance of the Union. In the latter event, the Porte, while declining at pre sent to give any specific pledge on the point, pro mises to consider favourably any general and spon taneous expression of the popular will. A protocol embodying the general acceptance of these terms will be signed in a few days, immediately:after which the definitive firman of the Porte will be forwarded by a special commissioner to Bucharest." TILE SEIZURE OF THE CoNFRDERATE A second edition of the Neto York Terald of Nov. 16 gives the following particulars of the arrest of Messrs Mason and Slidell : Fortress Monroe, Nov. 16. The United States steam frigate San Jacinto, Captain Wilkes, arrived in the Roadstead at half past 12 p.m., having on board the rebel commis sioners Slidell and Mason. They were taken from the English mail steamer on the Bth inst. off Ber muda. Lieutenant Fairfax and .?,5 armed men went from the San Jacinto with five officers, who boarded the steamer and picked out the commissione: . s. Messrs. Slidell and Mason made feeble resistance, but were induced to leave with Lieutenant Fairfax. The captain of the steamer rayed and swore, called the United States officers " piratic:.l Yankees" and other abusive names. One of the aecretaries of the rebel commissioners, named Hosted or Hurstace, also showed resistance; but himself and colleague accompanied their employers to confinement. Mr. Slidell had his wife and four children on board, who were allowed to proceed to Europe. Commo dore Wilkes came ashore and had a lengthy conver sation with General Wool. He expressed his opinion that he had done right, and said that, right or wrong, these men had to be secured, and if he had done wrong he could do no more than be cashiered for it. When it became known that these worthies were n Hampton Roads, the excitement was immense. Some reported that quarters would be provided them on the Rip Raps, but either the frigate will proceed to New York, or some other vessel will be sent there with the prisoners on board, and deliver them at Fort Lafayette. Any instructions which were sent to Lord Lyons in the Europa, on Saturday, will reach his lordship about the 11th inst. A Southampton mail packet will leave New York three days after that date, and will reached England about the 26th. A Cunard mail packet will leave America on the 18th inst., and will arrive in England about the 30th inst. CHANGES IN THE' LORDS AND COM- MO'vs DURING TILE YEAR.

The Journal tie Constantinople publishes a letter from Castamouni, which says :—" The commerce of this district is beginning to be more active, and the communica tions with the interior more frequent. The principal pro duction of the environs of the town is tiftik or hair of the famous Angora goats ; all the district supplies about 150,000 okes a year (the oke is about 211b5.) Some farmers of the villages near the town cultivate salep, and at a short dis tance from the place are rich copper mines, which were for merly worked, but which have for some time past been aban doned. Castamouni, which is called by the Turks Castombol, was the capital of ancient Paphlagonia. It is situated in a valley surrounded by high mountains, and was the cradle of the Comnene family, who formerly resided at Byzantium. The climate is agreeable, and the population amounts to about 15,000 souls. Almost all the Greeks of Catamouni, like the rest of their countrymen in Asia Minor, speak no thing but Turkish; their education is neglected, and there is a great need hero of schoolmasters and schoolmistresses." —ln the same journal is a letter from Broussa, of the 10th, which announces that for a week preceding a fire had been raging in the fine forests of Mount Olympus, and was ex tending in those of the valleys: On the mountain, from the measures taken, the conflagration was likely to be ex tinguished, but in the valleys nothing could be done, and a heavy fall of rain was consequently hoped for. At one moment the town of Broussa was in danger from the flames, but fortunately a change of wind turned them in a different direction. The Civil Tribunal of Strasburg has this week been engaged for three days in hearing a cause in which M. Beige, director of the Strasburg theatre, was defendant? and M.
