at a very low price. " The Ladies' Treasury " is well adapted to the tastes of the ladies of the household, supplying their various needs of romance, housewifery, music, literature, fancy work, and fashion. There are articles of a higher chaiact2r, such as an essay on " Shakspeare's Maidens," to be followed by one on " Shakspeare's Wives," a treatise on Chess, and a discourse on astrono ny. " Cassell's Illustrated Family Piper " contains its usual variety of grave and gay, in struction, entertainment, and amusement. HONEY NARK E. 7. A' ND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Money Market continues in a very easy con dition, but the inquiries are rather more numerous owing to the approach of the 4th of the month. At the Bank of England yesterday the bullion operations were again of an unimportant character. The Tyne has arrived from the Brazils this morn ing with £119,238 in specie. The Atrato, which left to-day for the 'West Indies took £3,375 in silver, and the Indus, sailing on the 4th inst. for India, China, &c., will convey £22,089. The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon exhibited a slight decline in the rates on Paris, Antwerp, and Frankfort. Since Monday last the imports of specie have been about £400,000, and the exports £94,000. The traffic receipts of the Dutch Rhenish Railway for the fortnight ending the 15th ult. amounted to £8,156, against £7,275 at the corresponding period of last year. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday busi ness was exceedingly dull and prices were depressed. The sales were only 2,500 bales. There has been a quiet market for Public Secu rities to-day, speculation being dull, while, as usual on Saturday, the operations for transfer have also been restricted. Consols have not undergone much variation, but a slight decline has taken place, viz., to 931 /. The New Threes and the Reduced are steady at 91?-, ; Exchequer Bills, June, at 13e. prem. ; Bank Stock is flat at 229 and 2301 ; ditto, firm at 225 and 2261 ; ditto 5 per Cent., 105/; and the New Loan Scrip, 105 k. The dealings in the Foreign Market have been of a moderate character, but prices are firm. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 791 80 ; ditto, 1858, 671 8 ; Mexican are steady at 28 1. ; Sardinian have im proved to 821; and Venezuelan to 211 ; Dutch 21 per Cents. to 641; ditto 4 per Cents. are 991 101 ; and Spanish remain at 50. The operations in the Railway Share Market have been extremely limited, and with the exception of Brightons, which have improved about IL the variations have been unimportant. Norfolk and North Eastern (Berwicks) advanced ss. ; and North Westerns, Midlands, and South Easterns, declined ss. In the Foreign and Colonial lines prices tended downwards. South Austrian and Lombardo-Vene tian receded 1; San Paulo, I; Grand Trunk of Canada, 1; and Great Indian Peninsula I. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares con tinued in limited request at slightly reduced prices. BRITISH FUNDS—CLOSING PRICK Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 9ll i a 3 per Cent.

TEA.—The operations of the week have been very large, and prices have advanced • black leaf descriptions are fully ld., and the reddish leaf kinds ld. to lid. dearer, the latter having been bought largely by speculators and for export. Public sales took place on the 31st ult. and the Ist instant. The first day was occupied principally with Assams, 544 of which were printed as Kumaon prepared in the Govern ment factories in the north' west provinces of India. The wh , le of the latter were taken in, the quality not being suitable for this market ; the former sold with much spirit, Pekoes realising full prices, whilst Souchongs sold 3d., and Congous and broken.-leaf kinds about 4d. to sd. dearer. the remainder of the sale, consisting of 20,719 packages of China tea, sold with much spirit at very full prices. CONSOLS, WHEAT, AND COTTON,—The funds have been firm during the week, and Consols have advanced from 93 to 931. In wheat there has been a reaction of between is and 2s per qr. ; while in cotton, for the first time for many weeks, there has also been a fall of a per lb., caused partly by statements, which are believed to be well founded, that the resent speculation has been carried on mainly by very weak persons, the regular operators having realised their profits some time ago. The Stocks in Bonded Warehouses indicate that the country is well supplied with goods. In a majority of cases the stocks show a considerable increase compared with the corresponding period of last year, and the instances of de crease are, for the most part, unimportant. The articles of which the quantities have augmented are,—coffee, 15 per cent. ; currants, 30 per'cent.; raisins, 12i per cent. ; rum, 11 per cent. ; sugar, 40 per cent. ; molasses, 120 per cent. ; and tobacco, 50 per cent. COMMERCIAL CONDITION OF THE COUNTRY.—Experi enced merchants express great confidence in the commercial soundness of the country at tho present moment. The belief that the existing stock of cotton—coupled with the quantity that may yet be expected from India, and the numerous small parcels that seem likely to arrive from hitherto unlooked-for quarters, will suffice to keep the Lancashire population in moderate employ ment—steadily increases, while there is every sign that the demand for fabrics composed of other staples, such as wool, flax, hair, jute, &c., will cause great activity in those branches of manufacture at most remunerative terms. The latest statistical returns seem also to establish that the country is rich in nearly all kinds of imported produce. This is partly shown by the above account of the stocks held in the Customs bonded warehouses of the United Kingdom; and such further figures as can be obtained prove that we hold likewise a highly satisfactory amount of those various articles which are not liable to duty, and of which, therefore, the Cus toms take no account. Though the consumption hasbeen com paratively large, the importations throughout the whole of the current year have, in a majority of instances, been of still greater comparative magnitude. This bas been the case especially in timber, guano, hemp, jute, hair, tar, copper, and other metals, quicksilver, salted provisions, rice, silk manufactures, s ome kinds of leather manufactures, and a variety of other articles; aad, as the past month has wit nessed a rather general rise of prices, the position of holders must be favourable. BOARD OP TRADE RETURNS FOR SEPTEMBER. — These returns, which were published at the beginning of the week, have attracted considerable attention from the fact that they show a greater falling off in our export trade than has oc curred in any previous month of the present year. The decrease in the declared value of our shipments has been 18 per cent, 12i per compa redcent, with the total of September, 1860, and t. of this diminution has been in connexion with cotton good s . -.. favourable as they the figures are not intrinsically so un correspondins. appear, since, in comparison with the was sound and active month of 1859, when trade in every respect e, the falling off is only 3) per cent. Meanwhile, our , w import trade has been on a satisfactory scale. Of course much less wheat and flour than in September, 18 6 8 0 tZking t the arrivals have still been beyond the average of. former years, and quite sufficient to maintain the stocks in our granaries. The comarative i mpor ts and exports of raw material im portation under every head, rial show an increased im- IMPRISONMENT FOR liii. rt. lc NDER THE NEW first t epers of the metro- BANKRUPTCY ACT —Yesterday t h e new Act. to the Court politer , debtors' prisons made their of Bankruptcy, in pursuance of the tablishment number is in Whitecross-street Prison, whieht* The largest is now under the able management of ConstableMesiseBrB7o.Bh courts, and Lay, the principal officers. There are they are called, prisoners committed by the superior as and 15 by the county courts, which latter prisonoefrrsi 00 0 come under the new law. There are upwards not soners in the Queen's Prison committed by the Court Chancery and the superior courts. According to the new - law, the Registrar of the Court of Bankruptcy is to attend at the prisons and hold a court, and if he thinks fit he can release the parties, and mention the district in which the estate is to•be administered. In the event of any prisoner refusing to submit to examination by the registr,,r, or de clining* to make a full discovery of his estate and effects, the registrar is to report the same to the court, and the com missioner has power to commit him to the county gaol for one month with or without hard labour, which imprison ment may be terminated before the time by complying with the direction of the court. Some of the prisoners in the metropolitan prisons have been a long time in confinement —two for nine years and two for seven years in Whitecross street Prison. A genaral gaol delivery may now shortly be expected. The registrar will have to attend Lot sooner than a week, and not longer than three weeks, after the return. In future a monthly return is to be made of all he prisoners confined for debt. SIIARE MARKET-(711IS DAY). ORDINARY SHAttES AND STOCKS. Share Railways. p aid. l Closing Business Price.

This morning the Right Hon. the Lord Chancellor, Lord Westbury, held the usual levee of the bar, and entertained the Judges of the several Courts of Equity and Common Law, as also the Queen's Counsel and Sergeants-at-Law, to breakfast, at his mansion in Belgrave-square. Amongst the principal of the judges and counsel present were—the Master of the Rolls, the Vice-Chancellors Kindersley and Wood, :the Lords Justices, Mr. Baron Bramwell, Mr. Justice Crompton, Mr, Justice 'Williams, Mr. Justice Willes, Mr. Justice Byles, Mr, Baron Channell, the Lord Chief Baron Martin, and Mr. Justice Wightman, The Attorney-General, the Solicitor-General, the Queen's Advo cate, and all the leading members of the bar, were present. After the breakfast, the Lord Chancellor and the Judges proceeded in State to Westminster Hall to open their re spective courts. A large crowd, composed chiefly of ladies had assembled to witness the ceremony. ARCHES COURT. (Before Dr. Lushington.) BURDER V. HEATH-JUDGMENT. In this case the office of the judge is promoted by Mr. John Burder, of 27, Parliament• street, secretary to the Bishop of Winchester, against the Rev. Dunbar Isidore Heath, M.A., Vicar of Bradray, in the Isle of Wight. The proceedings were taken under the Act of Queen Elizabeth, "An Act for the Ministers of the Church to be of Sound Religion," and the defendant is accused of having printed, published, dispersed, and set forth a certain book or pam phlet, containing a course of sermons, 19 in number, and by having therein advisedly maintained and affirmed cer tain positions or doctrines directly contrary and repugnant to the doctrines of the United Church of England and Ire land as by law established, and especially to the articles of religion. After comparing and examining the writings of Mr. Heath with the Book of Common Prayer, the learned Doctor said he was most anxious, as far as possible, to make every allowance for the opinions held by some of the clergy, but his duty compelled him to pronounce the writings of Mr. Heath distinctly contrary to the articles of religion and the Book of Common Prayer, and gave his judgment accordingly. The learned Doctor then remarked that under the act a power of retractation was given, and before he passed sentence he should like to know whether any time for consideration should be allowed. Mr. Buller, one of the counsel for Mr. Heath, said he should take time to consider the course to be pursued. The further proceedings were adjourned for a fortnight. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. Before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Channell and Bramwell.) On the judges taking their seats this morning Mr. Baron Bramwell called Mr. Mant, a solicitor, before him. He said the Court had fully considered his case, andlthey had deter . mined, for the imposition he had committed on one of the Masters of the Court, he was found guilty of contempt, for which the Court inflicted a fine of £IOO. And also for the other malpractices he had commmitted, the Court felt it to be their duty to suspend him from practice for the space of three years. POLICE INTELLIGE'NO.E.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY AND VIOLENCB.—Henry Johnsen, a rough looking fellow, with the aliases of Sullivan and Edmunds, was charged by Sergeant Boden, 11 D, with stealing some brass weights from the shop of Mr. C. Vaughn, tobacconist, Euston•road. The prisoner was seen in company with a lad at the shop of Mr. Vaughn by Boden, and the lad after being in the shop a short time came out and gave the prisoner some thing, and they walked off together, and were followed by Boden till ,they got to Princes-court, Newport-market, when on Boden attempting to take them into custody the prisoner violently assaulted the officer, the lad effecting his escape. The prisoner, however, was taken into custody, and in consequence of his violence was brought to the court handcuffed. On being searched five brass weighti, identified by- Rosina Catherine Roberts, servant to Mr. Vaughn, were found on him. Sergeant Boden, in answer to a question, said prisoner had had one month as a suspected person, and two months for a robbery from a shop. Sergeant Cole, 22 C, said prisoner had also had 15 months' imprisonment. Mr. Tyrwhitt committed the prisoner for trial. PRESENTATION OF THE LORD HAYOR 20 THE LORD CHANCELLOR. This morning, according to annual custom, the Lord Mayor was presented to the Lord Chancellor for the appro val of her Majesty. The Lord Mayor (Alderman Cubitt), accompanied by the Recorder, Aldermen, the Sheriffs, the Common Sergeant, Mr. Commissioner Kerr, the City Chamberlain, the Town Clerk, the City Solicitor, the Under sheriffs, and other civic authorities, proceeded in state to the residence of the Right Hon. the Lord Chancellor, Lord Westbury, and were ushered into the front drawing-room. The civic authorities having formed a half circle, the Lord Chancellor, in his state robes, attended by his secretaries, purse and mace bearers, entered the presence chamber by the library ; and, after the usual salutation, The Recorder advanced, and, introducing the Lord Mayor, said he had the honour to present Mr. Alderman. Cubitt, whe had been elected by the livery of the City of London, for the second time, to fill the high office of Lord Mayor, and it was his duty to inform his lordship that all the laws, customs, and usages of the City had been ob served. Having made some very complimentary observa tions on the manner in which the Lord Mayor had fulfilled the year of office just expiring, he concluded by saying he had only to add that Alderman Cubitt was held in the highest esteem by his fellow-citizens, and that he had the greatest confidence in presenting him to the Lord Chan cellor for her Majesty's approval. The Lord Chancellor said it gave him the highest satis faction to have to state that her Majesty highly approved of the choice made by the citizens of London in investing so distinguished a person as Alderman Cubitt with the high office of chief magistrate of the city of London. His lordship, having dwelt on the honour of the second election of Alderman Cubitt to the civic chair, then shook hands with the Lord Mayor, and the civic authorities withdrew. BANK OF DEPOSIT. The following relates to the Bank of Deposit, the affairs of which are now under investigation by professional accountants : _ . . " Bank of Deposit National Assurance and Investment Association, 3, Pall-mall East. ":Sir,—As the solicitor of Messrs. Allsop, I am requested by them to inform you, and through you the numerous stockholders who have signified their approval of the course adopted to obtain a proper statement of the affairs of this association, that as the managers have, at the sugges tion of the stockholders, now called in Messrs. Harding, Pullein, Whinney, and Gibbons, public accountants, to in vestigate the accounts of the association and to report thereon, the object of Messrs.

It seems that the annoyances of the French Cus toms system complained of by English exporters are not so general as has been supposed. The writers are quite cor rect in stating that our own arrangements under similar circumstances have been by no means faultless. We must endeavour to meet the case with good humour and fair re presentations, and to defer condemnatory criticism until sufficient time shall have elapsed to demonstrate that there is no disposition to aceord, as soon as may be practicable, all the facilities that can reasonably be required. One great difficulty experienced by English houses in the novel cir cumstances of the trade betwean the two countries seems to,be in ascertaining the exact nature of all charges, so that they may be able to calculate the price at which any given description of English goods can be laid down at Paris ; a b a nn u dd t willi ic t nat. be a b l e keeaeanrsawy at t t i o pl a e ai s rt t i asi said l h ish g av ea that offerede agencies ci ; f e s si nar o srt this Edward respect sapr purpose c tgr ; a Blunt.. tuitously to afford information to all who may apply to them.

Z., of New York, from Liverpool for New York, struck the inside of the Blackwater Bank, and burnt lights at 12 o'clock the samenight, which were seen from the shore. Early next morning Mr. Truscott, of Liverpool, agent to the Lydia wrecked near the same place, with a boat's crew proceeded to the ship, and offered their services to the captain. The latter asked what amount of re muneration he should pay, when Mr. Truscott replied that he would leave it to the decision of Mr. S. R. Graves, mayor of Liverpool, and the re presentative of the New York underwriters. The captain then asked his position on the bank, which Mr. Truscott pointed out on the chart. He then asked whether he was on the inside or outside of the bank, when he was informed he was on the inside, and two and a half miles south of the light ship. The mate then inquired where was the Pomona wrecked, when he was told that her buoy lay two miles south of the place where the A. Z. had then struck. Mr. Truscott then pointed out the land. Immediately after receiving all this information, the captain of the A. Z., with out any explanation whatever, took up two belay ing pins out of the larboard rail, and roared out in a passionate tone " Get into your boat, you Irish devils ;" following the boat's crew round the quarter deck, striking all he could come at. When the crew were getting into the boat over the rail at such dangerous speed, Mr. Truscott felt it his duty to face the infuriated and ungrateful Yankee, in order to give the boat's crew time to get into their boat without loss of life, and received a severe blow of the belaying pin on his arm, which was aimed at his head. Notwithstanding this cruel and barba rous treatment, Mr. Truscott wrote with chalk on the vessel's side her true position, lest the fury of the captain might endanger the ship and all on board. As Mr. Truscott and crew were leaving the ship's side, the Coastguard came up and went on board, and after giving similar information to that supplied by Mr. Truscott were ordered by the captain, in the same violent manner that he treated Mr. Truscott's crew (save the personal violence), to leave the ship. The Wexford steam-tug Erin next came up and offered her services, to which no reply was made, when she returned towards Wexford. After the boats had left she hoisted a flag of dis tress, and a boat from Morriscastle, manned by Michael Leary, John Fortune, and three others, boarded her, when, by backing and filling, she was got off the bank in the course of a couple of hours. While engaged in trying to get her off, one of the men was left, in the boat, when the painter broke by the surging of the ship, and the boat drifted away, but the heartless master of the ship rendered no assistance, and the poor fellow was afterwards picked up by the Cahore lifeboat. Such conduct as that practised by the captain of the A. Z. deserves universal reprobation, and we hope it may be brought under the cognizance of the underwriters, as it is calculated to do infinite mischief if not sig nally punished.— Wexford Independent.

A LADY AIDE-DECAMP.—Quite a sensation was created in Jefferson City (says a new York paper) on the evening of the 9th ult., by the arrival of Mrs. Colonel Ellis, from Tipton, bearer of despatches from Gen. Hunter and Col. Ellis. She was dressed in a semi-military riding habit and hat, with a crimson sash thrown around the left shoulder, as an officer of the day, mounted on a splendid charger, and attended by two orderlies. She had ridden forty-five miles since ten o'clock, an d, w i thout taking a moment's rest, delivered her orders at camp, and then waited upon General Price 'with her despatches urging forward two squadrons of C o l.

On the 22d of October, at half-past nine a.m., the mass and solemn office for the repose of the soul of the late Count Cavour took place in the Church of Santo Antonio da Se. On the facade of the temple, that is, above the principal portal, was the legend in Portuguese, " Pray for the soul of Count Cavour ;" and on either side were displayed the Portuguese and Italian banners. All the other doors were hung with black. Above the side of the high altar were sus pended the French, English, Brazilian and Swedish flags, and in the middle the Portuguese and Italian. The doors of the church were literally besieged by the public. There was a crowd as early as 7 a.m. ; and when the doors were opened many ladies were obliged to retire, not finding seats. All the Ministers, the Municipal Chamber, 53 deputations from public associations, the President of the Chamber of Peers, the civil governor of Lisbon, many officers of the army and navy, a large number of the higher public servants, and other persons of dis tinction, completely filled that part of the church destined for their accommodation. More than half of the church was crowded to overflowing by the public. The orchestra, directed by Senhor Cossul, jun., was composed of more than forty instrumentalists ; the music of the mass was by Jomelli, and was brilliantly executed, The artists who took part were Faschini, Guic ciardi, Della Costa, and Baragli, from the Royal Opera-house of San Carlos, and they offered their services gratuitously. The music of the Dies ala Benedicutus, and other pieces was composed ex pressly for the occasion by Senhor Cossoul, jun. A funeral sermon was preached by Dr. Jose Castello- Branco. This gave satisfaction to all the auditors. ...--- ----- The question of the mass for Count Cavour has roused all the old animosities of the Miguelites and Constitutionalists; the ceremony was entirely pro hibited by the Cardinal Patriarch of Lisbon, yet the popular party moved heaven and earth to carry out their views. Finding that there was no parish church at their orders, the committee prevailed upon the Municipal Chamber of Lisbon to place at their disposal the church of Santo Antonio, which is private property, and there the long vexed question of the mass for Cavour found a solution. THE LONDON FREIGHT MARKET. (From the Circular of Messrs Seymour, Peacock, and Co.) The position of the freight market has not varied much since the issue of our last report, the improve ment in the demand for tonnage not having been realised to the extent anticipated. The advices from India are by no means encouraging, freights at Bombay and Calcutta being reported as " dull and declining," owing to a scarcity of produce, in the face of a rapid accumulation of tonnage. Too much faith has been reposed in increased shipments of cotton from India to supply the deficiency occasioned by the American civil war. Shipowners appear to have anticipated an enormous increase in the demo& for tonnage, forgetting that increased production in India and elsewhere will be a work of time, and affecting to a trifling extent only the ensuing ship ping season:_ Cotton will doubtless be exported from India to this country, as the best market, in larger quanti ties than heretofore ; but the additional supply will be withheld from other markets, and the employment of tonnage remain pretty much the same. Looking beyond the present season there can be no question that the production of cotton in India, Africa, and probably the West In dies and other places will enormously increase, the pressure of the American crisis stimulating pro duction elsewhere to a large extent. The vessels recently despatched by our firm to Africa have taken out hydraulic cotton presses, steam engines, machinery, &c., accompanied by experienced en gineers, and we look for the development of the cotton trade on the West Coast of Africa taking place with a rapidity which nothing would have promoted like the present interruption of the sup ply from the Southern States of America. Our export business suffers severely from the high price of cotton, but with a permanently ie•• creased importation, and consequent decline in value, we may anticipate a reaction at no distant period that will revive our trade and give an im petus to exports, which will soon restore fair ave rage rates of freight. Stocks of manufactured goods have been excessive in almost every market; they must now be rapidly running off, and when the present difficulties are surmounted, we may look forward to a healthy, extensive, and long continued export trade. FUNERAL OF MRS. BROWNING. A correspondent of the Critic, writing from Florence, says :—" It was announced that the funeral rites might be attended by all friends and admirers, and many Italians and English, Protestants and Catholics, of both sexes, proved eager to accept the mournful invitation by assembling be fore the funeral arrived, yesterday evening, in the ceme tery, outside the Porta Pinti. A more beautiful place of sepulture could not be imagined; like that for the Protes tants in Rome, this is also bounded on one side by the an cient city walls, while beyond expands a landscape of smiling loveliness, the luxurious Arno Valley, bestrewn with villages and pleasant country houses, with its amphi theatre of gracefully outlined mountains among whose forms the height and towers of Frisole rise nobly conspi cuous. The burial-ground belong to the Swiss, and occu pies a rising ground laid out like a wooded garden, with a cluster of cypresses at the highest level, its terminating point ; and in the centre, at the convergences of the alleys, a pillar surmounted by a white marble cross, raised, as the epigraph tells us, by the King of Prussia in 1858, am the Resurrection and the Life,' &c., being the text inscribed (in French) above this recording line. Among shrubs and flowering plants stand numerous monuments, simple, and mostly in good taste, surmounted by the cross or an urn, and with epitaphs in which the English predominates, though many languages appear, almost all associating some text from Scripture with the name of the dead. Shortly before sunset arrived the convoy with the last remains of her whose resting-place will assuredly consecrate this spot into one for the pilgrimage and reverence of futur e ages ; a large garland of white flowers and a laurel wreath lay on the plain, unpretending hearse now driven up to the entrance on the high road; here the coffin was removed to be placed within the gateway-lodge, where the English clergyman commenced the service from the Anglican Liturgy, and at this moment a numerous group stood, many deeply affected, not a few with tears, around the bier of that gloriously-gifted woman. Among those I noticed Francisco dell' Oregaro, one of Italy's first living poets ; Mr. Storey, the well-known American sculptor and writer; Mr. Anthony Trollope ; and, supported by the last two, the widowed husband, whose presence at such a time surprised me, for he was evidently prostrated by grief to the last de gree. Scarce able, it seemed, to stand, and bewildered as one lost in an overwhelming dream, poor Mr. Browning looked indeed as if a blight had passed over his existence from which there could be no earthly healing. Followed by these mourners, the coffin was then carried up the cen tral avenue to the freshly-dug grave, prepared for only one tenant near that cross and its pillar; and during the re mainder of the rite, here performed over the open burial place, I could observe the sorrowful self-possession of that group of chief mourners, the widower just able to control himself from an outburst of feeling, and his and her child, a fine boy of sweetly-intelligent countenance, showing amidst his emotion a self-command beyond his years. He reminded me of hie mother, in feature and ex pression, as he stood bareheaded, with long wavy hair, that child of illustrious parentage ; and there stood an accom plished lady, Miss Blagdon, the bosom friend of the de ceased, whose sorrow seemed scarce less than that of her nearest and dearest. I looked into the still open grave after the sublime service had closed, and the chief mourners had slowly passed away, and there saw the coffin of the great poetess, the white-rose wreath at the feet, the laurel crown at the head, the newly-scattered dust on the sable cover the name and date of death ; while the line recording her age was hidden, being alone legible on the ate par tially concealed by that crown appropri (I was y inscription a t h t d — w w t h e the h h andremains, grows aboutan and d t o e a b d e . for ever eee covered o he rg r b a y v e e a r garland, just g from a other flowering plants, the cross gleamsbackground struck by this coincidence) a youn laurel tree, besides of cypress foliage above, and around her lie the dead of almost all lands where her language is spoken, this, too, amidst a scene that might be taken as the abstract of Italy in its fairest aspects, and close to the city where assuredly is the wprthiest centre of its civilisation. 0 narato albs ssialinnota p c oe r ta ee ' ez t s h u e gg li e n s e ted fro it m sel D f a t n o t h e er on as hi t s he monument appropriate a t epitaph, whatever memorial is henceforth to mark this spot; and with this quotation I turned away—consoled by the thought how bright and worthy of herself was her career throughout —to leave the Italian grave of Elizabeth Browning," THE LIFE AND CORRESPONDENCE OF ADMIRAL Slit CHARLES NAPIER, K.C.B.

THE WEATHER IN SCOTLAND. —During the past few days we have had decided indications that winter has stolen a march upon us. The weather last week was gene— rally dry and pleasant, although cold in the mornings and evenings. Saturday was a fine day for the season, and Sabbath also was clear, and even warm in the sun. Yes terday morning, however, opened sharp and frosty, and everything bore a wintry aspect, the housetops being covered with a thick coating of hoar-frost. During the early part of the day a pretty thick fog prevailed, in con sequence of which the gas was kept burning in many of the shops and offices in the city ; but in the afternoon the fog cleared away, and left the atmosphere clear and brac ing.
