MONEY ?MARKET ND CITY NEWS. CITY, Two o'CLocx. Although the Money Market continues very quiet, a temporary increase is expected in the de mand consequent up -n the usual• quarterly dis bursements. Owing, however, to the abundant supplies in the hands of the banks and discount houses, the effect is scarcely expected to be im portant, and the opinion generally prevails in mone tary circles that the rates will remain in an easy position for some time to come, because trade is dull, and the absorption for other purposes is extremely limited. The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon exhibited a slight decline in the rates on Ham burg, Paris, Frankfort, Vienna, and Trieste. Gold is now about 5-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris or Hamburg. The traffic receipts of the Great Western Rail_ way of Canada for the week ending the 13th inst. exhibited .a decrease of £3,583, compared with the same period in 1860. The interest coupons of the Dutch Rheinish Railway will be paid on and after the Ist proximo. Notice has been given that the directors of the Bombay, Baroda, and Central India Railway Com pany will receive applications for the remainder of their debentures bearing 5 per cent. interest, and repayable in 1865. About £45,000 in gold was sent into the Bank of England yesterday. The directors of the Scinde Railway in their re port state that the line, which is 114 miles in length, and is the first complete line in India, was opened on the 13th of May last, and there is every prospect of its being one of the first having the capital account closed and paying a dividend. It is expected also that the Punjaub Railway will be finished and fully equipped before the end of next year. In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a large amount of business was again transacted, and prices were very firm. The sales were estimated at 25,000 bales. Business in the market for Public Securities to day has been exceedingly quiet, but sales having preponderated a fractional decline has taken place. The speculators are more disposed to operate for a fall than an advance, although the money market is easy and gold continues to flow into the Bank. The public, moreover, refrain from making investments, and prices consequently gave way. Consols are 93k / for money, and 931 for the October accbunt. The New Threes are flat at 901 91 a ; the Reduced at 908 911. Exchequer Bills, March, at 2s. prem ; ditto, June, at ss. prem. India 5 per Cent. Loan is 103 t ; and the 5 per Cent.

Business in the Railway Share Market has con tinued inactive, but, in some instances, prices have shown rather more firmness. North Westerns, Midlands, and North Eastern (Berwick) have ad vanced 55.; Great Western, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and. South Eastern 10s.; Caledonian have declined 55., and Blackwall and South Western 10s. The Foreign and Colonial undertakings have remained exceedingly dull, without any material change in values. Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have slightly declined. London Joint Stock to 314 ; Union of Australia to 391 ; Peninsula and Oriental Steam realise 67 ; Canada Land 109 ; National Discount Company 4 ; and Great Ship Company preference shares e. • BRITISH FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK. per Cent.

On comparing these rates with the English Mint price of £3 175. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, it appears that gold is about 5-10ths per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Hamburg the price of gold is 4291 per mark, and the short exchange on London is 13.81 per £1 sterling. stan d a rd gold at the English Mint price is, therefore, about 6.lo ths per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburg. The course of exchangg at New York on London for bills at 60 days': sig, , ht is 107/ to 108 per c en t ., which, when compared with the Mint par between the two countries, shows that the exchange i s against England. But, a tt er making allowance for loss of interest and charges of t ransport, the present profit on sending gold to th e United States. price leaves no P EMIGRATION TO AUSTR ALIA. —The clippe r s hi p Lillies, belonging to t he White Star line o f A ustralian packets, sailed from Liverpool yesterday, with 397 passen gers, of whom 18 were in the saloon.. She also took out a large and valable cargo, consisting chiefly of manufactured goods. PROJECTED EXCHANGE FOR BIUMINGHAM.—A meeting was held in the Theatre of the Midland Institute at Birmingham yesterday, the Mayor in the chair, to receive a report from a committee some time aince.appointed to con sider the most practicable mode of carrying out a resolution for the establishment of a merchants' and manufacturers' Exchange. The proposal made by the Council of the Mid land Institute for connecting the Exchange with that i stint tion was regarded as the most eligible, and the report of the committee was in that respect adopted. It was further re solved to commence the Exchange with 100 members; very nearly that number of names were received at the meeting. rain.

CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.) OLD COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Ryles.) ALLEGED MURDER. John Speller, aged 19, described as a sailor, was indicted for the wilful murder of William Dixon, on board the American ship Bosphorus, on the 6th of September. Mr. Orridge having briefly addressed the jury on the part of the prosecution, called his evidence. Thomas Porter, a seaman on board the Bosphorus, said that vessel arrived off the Commercial Docks on Friday, Sept. 6. The mate ordered all hands on deck, and witness went down to the forecastle to tell the men who were there. The prisoner war. one of them. Prisoner said he would not go until witness went, upon which witness caught him by the collar and tried to pull him out. They both fell, the prisoner being underneath. The prisoner ran away, and witness jumped on a c h es t. Th e man Dixon was coming in at the time, and attempted to take from the prisoner a knife which he had in his hand. Dixon was stabbed, but witness did not see the blow, although he saw the knife in the prisoner's hand. The prisoner had his right arm up when Dixon caught hold of him. Police-constable 264 M produced a large clasp-knife with which the assault was said to have been committed. Examination continued—Dixon died within three minutes after he was stabbed. There had been quarrels between witness and the prisoner during the voyage, bat not on the day the assault on Dixon took place. Cross-examined by Mr. Thomson—Dixon and witness had been on shore in the morning, and had been drinking. Witness had two glasses of gin. All the sailors in the ship. carried knives in their belts. Re-examined by Mr. Orridge—Witness was not altoge ther sober when he had the struggle with the prisoner, nor altogether drunk. James Galbraith, a seaman on board the Bosphorus, gave a similar version of the quarrel. He saw the pri soner strike Dixon a back-handed blow with the knife. lhe prisoner then threw the knife away. He had heard the prisoner and Dixon quarrel in the morning about money. The prisoner said, "I will have my money, or I'll see for why." A police-constable said that when he took the prisoner into custody he said be was very sorry that Dixon was dead. He meant it for the other' Man (Porter), who had very cruelly used hi'm on the voyage.. Medical evidence was given that the wound received was sufficient to account for death. Mr. Sleigh (who, with Mr. Thompson, appeared for the defence) made a very able speech to the jury on behalf of the prisoner, suggesting that there was no motive for the committal of murder, and that the offence was nothing more than manslaughter at the most. He thought that the jury would be still safer in acquitting th e pr i soner on th e groun d of the blow by which Dixon met his death being unpre meditated and accidental. The judge left it to the jury to say whether it was mur der, manslaughter, or accident. The jury found the prisoner guilty of manslaughter, adding that he had received provocation which mitigated the offence. Mr. Justice Byles said he would take time to consider the sentence. THE CASE OF DR. GRIFFITH JONES. Dr. Griffith Jones, surgeon, was indicted for wilful and corrupt perjury in propounding a will before Sir C. Cress well. 1 here was also an indictment against the prisoner for having forged the will—the will of Sophia Bellis. The indictment charging the prisoner with wilful and corrupt perjury was read by the clerk, The prisoner pleaded guilty. Mr. Sergeant Ballantine said that under the circumstances he should withdraw from the prosecution on the second in dictment. He had come to the conclusion that it would be a vain inquiry. He might mention that the perjury was that the prisoner had represented on oath before Sir C. Cresswell' that he was a Dotter of Medicine, having taken that degree at Aberdeen. It appeared from the pri soner's own admission on cross-examination that he had taken no such degree, and that he was represented at Aber deen by another. Mr. Sergeant Parry, on the part of the prisoner, said that the perjury was of the most trumpery character. The pri soner said he was a doctor of medicine of the University of Aberdeen. Such was not the case, but he was a member of the Royal College of Surgeons. Mr. Justice Byles said that such statements must - be made on affidavits, and he would consider them before pass ing sentence. A verdict of not gu ilty was then t a k en on the indictment for forgery, and sentence on that of perjury was deferred till to-morrow morning. NEW COURT. (Before Mr. Justice Keating.) THE CHARGE AGAINST VINCENT COLLUCCI, THE ITALIAN In this case the prisoner, Vincent Collucci, is indicted for larceny, in stealing from Miss Frederica Johnson, 19 £lOO Bank of England notes, and also with obtaining the same notes under fraudulent pretences. On Monday, Mr. Sleigh, with whom was Mr. Giffard, on the part of the prisoner, made an application to the Re corder for leave to inspect and take copies of certain letters written by the prosecutrix in the Italian language to the prisoner, and which were taken possession of by Sergeant Tanner of the detective force on taking the prisoner into custody, they being material and necessary for the purpose of properly conducting the defence, and also that the trial should be postponed until next session. Mr. Sergeant Parry opposed the application on the part of the prosecution until he had seen his learned brother,Mr. Montague Chambers. At the sitting of the Court this morning, Mr. Montague Chambers, Q.C., with whom was Mr. Sergeant Parry and Mr. F. IL Lewis, on the part of the prosecution, said that with reference to the application made by Mr. Sleigh to the Recorder, he had now to state to his lordship for his infor mation, that in the case of Vincent Collucci, there were two bills returned by the grand jury, the ono for larceny, in stealing a large sum of money, £1,900, from the prosecutrix, and the other for fraudulently obtaining the same large sum of money by false pretences. The application was to in spect and make translation and copies of a number of letters, 63 in number, which were written in the Itali an language, and which were in the hands of the police. On the part of the prosecution he must oppose the application, on the ground that the letters in question were wholly and absolutely irrelevant to the nature of the charge, and could in no way be material to the defence of the prisoner. He (the learned counsel) had read the translations of the letters, and he could not help thinking that the only object the prisoner had was to create intimidation or to gratify some morbid, idle, and improper curiosity, in addition to which the affidavit upon which the application was made was defective, and another difficulty to his mind was that the prisoner himself ought to have pointed out what part of the letters would assist his defence. The second indictment charged the prisoner with falsely pretending that the package or parcel contained cer tain letters, whereas the parcel only contained old news papers, and one single letter so folded as to deceive the pro secutrix. At the examination of the prisoner, Mr. D. Keane, who appeared for him, had been shown some of these translations, and Mr. Collett, who had acted as the attor ney, had since retired from the case, and a Mr. Sidney was the attorney who made the affidavit. That affidavit had been fully answered by Mr. Lewis, the attorney for the prosecution, and he (the learned counsel) could assure his lordship that the letters could in no way affect the pri soner's defence ; and he repeated the only object was to ob tain copies for the purpose of intimidation, and to gratify a morbid and idle curiosity, and if his learned friends had copies they might get into other persons' hands. Mr. Sleigh, in support of his application, said surely the counsel who conducted this defence were the best judges what would be material, and the letters might be of great importance, and might utterly refute the charge, and ho felt he could not properly conduct the defence without an inspection of the letters. Mr. Justice Keating desired that the translations should be handed to him. He would look through them, and in form Mr. Sleigh to-morrow morning what he would do. If any of the letters contained any matter at all relevant there might be ground to allow inspection, but he should cer tainly not feel justified in allowing copies to be taken. , The prisoner, who is an extremely good-looking gentle manly man, was in the dock during the application, but not placed at the bar. THE NEWTON-STREET, HOLBORN, AND WESTMINSTER MURDERS. The trials of William Cogan, for the murder of his wife, and also that of William Maloney, for a similar offence, were, upon the application of the counsel for the respective prisoners, Mr. Ribtou and Mr. Sleigh, postponed until to morrow.

Harriet Hariis, 27, married, was indicted for wilfully causing the death of her infant child, Mary Harris, through neglect and starvation. Mr. Giffard prosecuted, and Mr. Ribton defended the prisoner. The following witnesses were examined to prove the case : Mrs. Jones—l live at 48, Bedfordbury. The prisoner and her husband resided in the house. I have known the mother take the child out very frequently. It was a very little baby about nine weeks old. I recollect shortly before the child's death the mother took it out. She returned home drunk with the child in her arms. This she had done frequently. She was not always in a state to take care of the baby. Mr. Harris, the husband, did not come home the clay the child died. I at tended to it. I don't know where she went to; she came home quite drunk. The child appeared to have been a very healthy, not delicate, child, and when I attended to it I gave it all the nourishment I could think of. Cross-examined by Mr. Ribton--The prisoner had two other children beside the one that died. I have children of my awn. I know the child was seen by Dr. Harvey before it died. I know that beer, wine, and brandy are sometimes ordered in cases where women have lately recovered from their confinement. I have seen the prisoner feeding the child. I don't think the hus band had been at home for a week before the child died. The prisoner went out to look for the husband while the child was ill. It was alive when she left her home, but it was dead when she returned, I heard the prisoner say, the week the child died, that she had taken it to Dr. Harvey. I know she complained of her husband's conduct. By ➢lr. Giffard—The prisoner was seldom sober between the birth and death of the child. Mary Ann Ricketts, of 24, Bedfordbury—l have known the child left in the prisoner's apartment from nine in the morning until four in the afternoon a very short time be fore it died. The only persons left in the room were her two other young children. I have known the children take the baby down to Mrs. Jones to give it something. I have often seen the prisoner return after she had been absent ; she was intoxicated on many occasioni. Mr. Louis Hart said—l have known the prisoner for the six months she has lived in my house, and during that time I have scarcely ever seen her once sober. By Mr. Ribton—l am the landlady of the house in Bed. fordbury in which the prisoner resided. I live in Bear street, Leicester-square. I don't know that any complaints have ever been made against my house in Bear-street. The person who resided in the shop in Bedfordbury was a tenant of mine, and received the rent for me. I have often had to go to the prisoner's husband for the rent. Mr. Ribton—Why, I thought you said the shopman re ceived the rent of the prisoner. Witness—So he used, when he could get it. Mr. Ribton—Then the husband used sometimes not to pay you your rent ? - Witness—Yes, but the prisoner had had it, and spent it, and that's the reason I did not get it. Mr. Ribton—l only want an answer.• I don't want your reasons. I only want what you know for certain. Witness—Well, I do know she spent the money. Mr. Ribton then put a number of questions to the wit ness touching the marine-store business he carried on, and retharked that he had varied somewhat in his replies. To which the witness replied,—Well, I want to answer every thing in a straightforward manner, but, upon my word, you ask me so many questions that I don't know what I have said—(laughter)—you go about it in such a round about way that I don't think any person could recollect every answer he had given. (Laughter.) Mr. Leonard, of 2, Salisbury-street, Sti and, said—l am a surgeon. I saw the child after its death. The body of the child was so wasted that its leg was not thicker than my finger, and the whole weight of the body was not 31bs and a half. I have made a post mortem e;amination : I could find no disease that would account for its death. Want of nourishment would account for its death. Mr. Alfred Harvey, surgeon, said, I saw the child both before and after death. The proximate cause of death was inanition or wasting away. After the post mortem I arrived at the conclusion that the child died for the want of suf ficient nourishment. By Mr. Ribton—The post mortem proved that the child had not died of any disease. The Learned Judge summed up the evidence, The jury, after a few minutes' consideration, acquitted the prisoner. The prisoner, who had evinced great contrition and dis tress of mind during the trial, was then ordered to be discharged. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—( This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY AT THE DUKE Or DEyoNSTLIRE'S.—John Willis, stableman, in the service of the Duke of Devonshire, Devonshire House, Piccadilly, and John Goss Lyons, an old man, described as a labourer, were charged with steal ing some harness, the property of the Duke of Devonshire. Henry Sutton, porter at Devonshire House, said the harness produced was the property of the Duke of Devonshire, and the prisoner Willis had the care of the stables in town all the year round. He (witness) had last seen the har'ness rope in the stables in June. Since the prisoners had been in custody he had searched the stables and missed it. Kelly, 53 C; said about six yesterday evening he went to Mr. Attenborough's. in Piccadilly, and found the two pri soners there. He asked Willis where he got the harness from, and he said it belonged to the Duke of Devonshire. On asking whether he was authorised to pledge it he said he was not, but as he was only paid once a month, and had a sister in Shropshire who was dying, he had done so in tending to redeem it when he was paid, but that he had no felonious intention. Lyons told him that he was engaged to carry the harness by 'Willis. Phillip Barnes, manager to Mr. Attenborough, pawn broker, of Piccadilly, said the prisoner Lyons brought the harness in the previous evening, and on his asking him if it was his, he said " No, but to a person living at the Duke of Devonshire's, and that it belonged to the person." Seeing a coronet on the harness, and being under the im pression that there vi as something wrong about it, he told Lyons to go and fetch the person, and he did so, and he then sent for the officer. Mr. Tyrwhitt said there was no case against Lyons, and he should discharge him, but he should commit Willis for trial. THAMES. ATROCIOUS ASSAULT ON A GlRL—Alexander Lawrence, a Scotchman, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with assaulting Margaret Sweeney, a girl aged 13 years. A gentleman from the office of Messrs. Shaen and Rose e, solicitors to the " Associate Institution for Improving and Enforcing the Laws for the Protection of Women," ap peared for the prosecution, and said the girl, who had sue cessfully resisted the attempts made upon her virtue, was poor and friendless. The complainant said she was servant to Mrs. Curley, a lodging house keeper in Queen's-head-alley, Wapping. The prisoner was a sailor, lately paid off, and had been lodging in the house for five days only. Last night between nine and ten o'clock she was wiping a table when the pri soner suddenly came behind her, seized her round the waist, threw her violently upon the fbor, and raised her clothes. She screamed aloud, and a woman came into the room and rescued her. In answer to a question by Mr. Woolrych, the witness said the prisoner did nothing more to her than she had stated. His clothes were unfasten id. Mrs. Ann M'Kew, a respectable married woman, said she was about to fetch her supper beer last night, and had just left her house when she heard loud screams and cries of " Save me." She rushed into Mrs. Curley's house, and saw the girl Sweeney on the floor, and the prisoner near her. She told the prisoner he ought to be ashamed of himself. He said he was very sorry; it was the drink made him act as he had done. Inspector Beadle, of the Thames Police, said he took the prisoner into custody, and he expressed his regret for what he had done. The prisoner was not sober, and he ascer tained that he had been drinking all yesterday afternoon. Mr. Woolrych was of opinion there was nothing to show the prisoner intended to commit a rape, which was the charge against him; but he had committed a most im proper, unjustifiable, and brutal assault on the girl, for which he fined him D. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to this morning's market wero very moderate, yet the demand for bath red and white qualities ruled inactive, at Monday's decline in the quotations of is to 2s per quarter. The show of foreign wheat was by no moans extensive. All descriptions, however, moved off heavily, on former terms. In floating cargoes of grain rather a limited business was transacted, at about previous currencies. The trade for barley was dull, and prices had a downward tendency. Malt was a slow sale, at previous currencies. Fine oats sold steadily, at full quotations ; but medium and low parcels were a dull inquiry, at barely late rates. Beans and peas were in steady request, at full prices. The flour trade was steady, and the quotations were sup ported. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats.

THE ENSUING MAYORALTY.—DEPUTATION TO THE LORD MAYOR (THIS 13..Y).—This morning an influ ential deputation, consisting of bankers, merchants ? and traders of the City of London, with several members of the Common Council, waited upon the Lord Mayor, at the Mansion-house, and presented a requisition, signed by nearly 2,000 citizens, requesting him to take upon himself the office of Lord Mayor for the ensuing year. The Lord Mayor thanked the deputation, and said that if the livery choose to elect him, and the Court of Aldermen by an un mistakable vote should return him, he should then take upon himself the office with great pleasure. The deputa tion then withdrew. _ _ _ The Boulogne Messenger says :—Mr, Richard Guinness Hill and Mrs. Hill are well known in Boulogne, and the celebrated Rowley case furnished an interesting topic for the lovers of news in this town. Part of the excit ing scenes took place here. The more celebrated Yelverton case commenced here, and now the extraordinary dis closures which are presented to the public in the Hill romance are connected with parties who have been long resident among us. M. Zwirner, the architect by whom the work of completing the cathedral of Cologne has for many years baen conducted, died in that city on the 22d.

For the former, the two most in force were Asteroid and La Vapeur ; not less than 100 to 7 was taken about the former, and all the 25's to 1 that could be got were taken against the latter. The Makeless filly and Henham Lass were not in great de mand for this event, and towards the close as much as 100 to 1 was taken and offered about Defender.

Reason, years, the misfortunes of the times, contempt for the petty vanities of courts, which are pitiable when known, have thrown me into a black melancholy which disgusts me with everything. I once desired grandeur, and here lam satiated with it. I am obliged to wear joy on my face, when death is in my heart. Sire,' I say to the King, lam content ;' and at the same time I scarce can refrain from weeping at seeing myself compelled to dissimulate. In my spirit there is but weariness ; sadness overwhelms me. These are an invita tion from Heaven, but I continue to wear my chains. salute you, Madame, with the respect and affection which your virtue deserves. Love me. Pity me. PraY l or 12 LITER-17URE. A Hero in Spite of Himself. From the French of Luis de Bellemare. By Captain Mavne Reid, author of " Oceola," "The Scalp-hunters.' Three Vols. Hurst and Blaekett. This is another of those exciting stories for which this author has so long beau celebrated. It is replete with most marvellous adveniuscs from first to last, and no reader who wishes for an in te reefing tale will be disappointed in the perusal of these Pages. Some of the characters are very well drawn, and it is amusing to mark how in the tur moil and excitement of those strange scenes some were forced to become soldiers whether they had any inclination for the warlike profession or not. Among these Was Cornelio Lantelas, who was, by a combination of circumstances, compelled to take a prominent part in the drama then enacted. The story relates to the period of the Mexican war of Independence, and some of the names here men tioned figure also in the chronicles of history. Great injury was clone to the cause of the Indepen dents by a ruthless band taking it up as their war cry, thus committing all sorts of depred a ti on s under the name of liberty. Those attendants who had any towards their masters made i!; a practice to enrol themselves among the mi screants , and to take advantage of the confus.en then preva.- left to rob and sometimes murder their late em ployers. It was in consequence of a tragedy o f this nature that Don Rafael determined to transfer his allegiance to the cause of Spain instead of Mexico, as he had at first determined. It cannot be said that he was justified in such a proceeding, as the cruelties of such villians as Arroyo and Antonio Valdez did not belong to the cause they but to their own vindictive natures. I'o add to the complication of events, Don Rafael. Ives engaged to Gertrude, the daughter of a gentleman in his neighbourhood just before his fatal return, when he found his father had been murdered by the bandits. He rushed away to seek redress, and never explained to the family of Dan Mariano the reason of his resolve to change sides in the war then raging. As may be supposed, this led to serious misunderstandings, and at one time the un happy young Gertrude nearly fell a victim to the unhappy state of affairs. The fate of Mariaeita was most sad, although it was far preferable to her falling into the hands of the cruel men who attacked her home. The death of t his young lady and that of her unfortunate husband casts a gloom over the conclusion of the narrative, which otherwise seemed to brighten after the dark shades which had enveloped it. Don Rafael had performed prodigies of valour du r in g the short space he had been in active service, and his name was resounded with acclaim on all sides, and Gertrude, while mourn ing over his desertion of their cause, yet rejoiced at the prowess exhibited by her lover. Don Cornelio was the aide de camp of Morelos, and thus, contrary to his first intentions, he mixed in the stirring scenes that ho had intended to look upon from a distance. One of the most curious characters mentioned here is Costel, the Red Indian, who was imbued with all the strange superstitions that belong to that mystical race, who have been driven from their forests and floods, but who yet delight to recall the past glories of their race, and to picture to them selves the triumphs that await them in the hunt ing-grounds of the spirit-land, where no ruthless destroyer shall uproot their strongholds, and no shadow fall upon their prosperous course. For skill in delineation, and vigour in description this novel is not inferior to its predecessors, and the numerous admirers of this style of narrative will be delighted to meet with so brilliant a work. There are so many persons introduced, and the events are so startling and rapid that the reader has enough to do to carry them in his recollection as he threads the mazes of the intricate labyrinth. " A Hero in Spite of Himself" is therefore likely. to prove a general favourite among the classes who are desirous of meeting with excitement in their novels; and its graphic accounts of peculiar people in strange : times, its animated dialogues and remarkable occurrences, certainly impart to it a striking character. The Life of Jeanne D'Albret, Queen of Navarre. By M. W. Freer, author of " The Life of Mar guerite D'Angouleme," &c., &c. Hurst and Blackett's Standard Library. Iliss Freer's admirable series of works on the French history cf the middle ages is so well known and popularly esteemed that there is little need of criticism. The work before us, which originally appeared some years since, formed one of those consecutive biographies in which this accomplished authoress has so fully detailed the eventful history of that epoch. Commencing with the life of Mar guerite D'Angouleme, the beautiful and gifted sister of Francis 1., she carried on her narrative in the work before us, the memoir of Marguerite's remarkable daughter, who inherited. her father's nominal kingdom and his duchy of 13earn. Miss Freer, as will be readily remembered, has since grow a bolder in her undertakings, and has successively chronicled the contemptible career of the worthless Henry 111., King of France and Poland, and the great achievements of that strange compound of mental strength and moral weakness, the warlike Henry the Fourth, son of Jeanne D'Albret. She has besides, in a separate work, told us the tale of the fair and gentle Elizabeth of F rance, " I sa b e l of the Peace," as her Spanish subjects proudly called her. In those volumes Miss Freer denies the accusation brought against Philip 11. of having accelerated her death, and totally dispose s o f th e romance woven round the names of Elizabeth and the unfortunate Don Carlos. Her narratives are always careful and trustworthy, showing a minute and laborious investigation of contemporary authorities and justifying her claim to the study of numerous unpublished sources. The recent admission of historians to the zealously guarded archives of Simaucas is of incalculable advantage to all writers on that period, since the full and constant accounts forward to Philip 11. by his ambassadors and emissaries in all parts throw light on many hitherto dark places. In the work before us Miss Freer has full scope for her ability as an historical writer. Jeanne D'Albret was no mere queen like Elizabeth of France, graceful and gentle and fulfilling the duties of her station as consort, but appearing as little more than a necessary figure at a court pageant or grand procession. Marguerite D'Angouleme was noted for her wit and talents, and for the protection which she secretly afforded to the preachers of the reformed doctrines. But her daughter was something more. As Queen regnant and married to a man of inferior intellect and narrow mind, she was necessarily called upon to take a more prominent place ; but her great talents, strong will, and indomitable energy were devoted to the support and encouragement of the Hugenots. She accepted their doctrines wholly and unreservedly, and was looked up to as the guiding intelligence of their party. Her great aim was to bring up her son to the same office and to preserve him from the snares and machinations of Catherine de Medici. The efforts of Jeanne to keep him away from the evil influences of the Court, and her anxiety and dis tress at the proposed marriage between her son and Marguerite de Valois are all vividly described by Miss Freer. The death of Jeanne d'Albert took place in June, 1572, after a very short illness. Her unexpected decease filled the whole party of the Hugenots with gloom and consternation. Suspi cions of poison were freely expressed, which the King himself was disposed to share. A post mortem examination, however, has saved the memory of the Queen-mother from the weig h t of an additional crime. wasthe solemnised. For th is p ur p ose Hen ry , "at the head e m r a im rr e lage W ef it h h e in r t s h on ree w m ith " M th a s r o g f n of 800 of the most gallant cavaliers of France, all c l a d i n mourning habiliments," entered Paris. The flower of Hugenot chivalry was there, many of them members of the first families of France, little thinking that the mourning garb assumed, out of respect to the memory of Queen Jeanne aptly prefigured their own doom. It was a political oversight of the most fatal descrip tion, as Miss Freer justly observes, to have assembled this large an d f ormidable body of lugenot chieftains in Paris. It would never have occurred, she re marks, had the Queen of Navarre lived, as her con tinual commands on this subject prove. She saw the danger of confiding in the smooth speeches of the court, and she knew the protection which dispersion afforded. The numbers and valour of the band .filled the court with alarm, and enabled Queen Catherine to whisper dark suggestions into the mind of her son. These Hugenot gentlemen alone, she said, not to mention their followers, we re more than a match for the garrison of Paris. On the 18th of August the ill-fated mar r i age was celebrate d , _ a and on the 22d that dark tragedy began, ha s left left an indelible stain on the chivalry of F r ance.. wer e octi.
