1 1,02VE1 MARKET AND CITY IVE TVS. CITY, Two o'CLocx. The progress of business in the manufacturing districts during the past week has continued inac tive, and little change of importance can be re corded. At Bradford, however, there has been a fair demand for fancy cloths on French account. `ine woollen trade at Leeds has been dull, and at Manchester prices of both yarns and cloths have tended upwards. A moderate business has been done in worsted hosiery at Leicester, and at Not tingham a fair inquiry has been experienced for cotton fabrics. At Birmingham, Sheffield, Wolver hampton, and most of the hardware districts there is no material alteration to record. Business in the Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday was extremely dull, and prices fluctuated considerably. The sales were barely 2,000 bales. At the Bank of England, on Saturday, there were no bullion operations of public interest. The Niagara, which left on Saturday for Halifax and Boston, took out £25,400 in specie. The traffic receipts of the Northern of France Railway from the Ist of January to the 21st ult. amounted to £2,019,028, showing an increase of £86,226 compared with the corresponding date in 1860; and on the Paris and Orleans Railway the returns for a similar period were £2,273,139, or £157,825"m0re than last year. Within the last day or two the demand for money has been slightly augmented, but this was fully expected owing to the preparations for the numer ous mercantile bills due to-day, the Bth of the month. The liquidation of these engagements is making satisfactory progress, as up to the present time no embarrassments of importance have been recorded. Owing to the extreme caution with which the mer cantile community have recently conducted their operations, and the facilities offered to them for obtaining accommodation, credit is remarkably well maintained, and the settlement of accounts is gene rally completed without much difficulty. Although the inquiries have temporarily increased, the rates continue easy, and 21 per cent. is still the a/erage charge for first class securities. At the meeting of the National Savings Bank Association the report presented stated as follows : --" The business of the Association shows a steady and progressive increase, the more encouraging as having taken place in unfavourable times ; it has produced during the past year £4,278, as against £3,300 the preceding year, and £1,960 the year previous ; while your directors have succeeded in reducing nearly every item of expenditure below that of the preceding year. The attention of your directors is still earnestly directed to the object of retrenchment, where it can be judiciously effected. The number of branches open is 80, four having been closed as not being sufficiently remunerative. The depositors during the year have increased 9,934, the number being 31,423 as against 21,489, or at the rate of 191 per week. The amount de posited was £53,060. The subscribed capital is £20,872, and the number of shareholders 772. The investments of the association have been made with all care and consideration as to security, and no loss has occurred during the year." The Market for English Securities opened steadily, but sales on speculative account having taken place a decline of 8 per cent. has ensued, Consols which had been 93k 1, being now 93 931 both for transfer and the 7th inst. The quotations for the Decem ber account are 931 8. The New Threes and the Reduced are eteady at 911- 2 ; Exchequer Bills, June, have risen to 16s. and 17e. prem. ; Bank Stock has declined to '228 ; India ditto is firmer at 226 k and 227; ditto 5 per Cent., 1051, ; and the Bonds, 12s. to 15s. prem. In the Foreign Market the principal movements have been the improvement in Buenos Ayrian and Venezuelan Bonds, the former having advanced 21 per cent.—viz., to 881, and the latter to 22i 1, being 1 per cent. higher. Turkish 6 per Cents. are 79 4 80 ; ditto, 1858, 672 8 ; Mexican are firm at 28k; Sardinian at 82, and Italian remain at 1674. A moderate amount of business was transacted to-day in the Railway Share Market, in some instauees, however, prices are a shade flatter, Eastern Counties and Lancashire and Yorkshire, receded 55., and Great Northerns, £l, Midlands, however, advt./iced about 55., and North Westerns, and South Easterc s realised.

CORN EXCHANGE. lhe leading country markets held on Saturday were very moderately supplied with wheat, and the trado generally hold steady, at about previous quotations. Malting barley soil somewhat freely at extreme rates; and other articles fully supported previous currencies. Most of the Continental markets have been dull for wheat, and prices had been with difficulty maintained. Spring corn, however, continues very fair. In the United States no change of importance has taken place in the quo tations. The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week were small. The imports from abroad were 27,151 qrs. of wheat, 5,798 barley, 33,334 oats, 56 beans, 1,260 peas, 1,040 linseed, 878 rapeseed, 1,430 maze, 533 sundry seeds, 841 sacks and 1,797 barrels of flour. Fresh up to this morning's market, the arrivals of English wheat were decidedly smalLbut the general quality of the samples was very good. Although the demand both for red and white qualities was far from active, the trade must be considered firm, at the full prices of this day se'nnight, to, in some instances, is per quarter improve ment. The show of samples of foreign wheat was rather exten sive. Importers were firm in their demands, and last week's currency was well supported. In floating eirgoes of grain only a moderate business was doing, yet the quotations ruled firm. Malting barley moved off slowly, at barely late rates. Grinding and distilling sorts were quite as dear as on Mon day last. The supply on offer was very moderato. For malt we have to report a slow inquiry, on former terms. Good and fine oats were firm at full quotations, but in ferior parcels sold slowly at about previous rates. The show of beans was small, and all qualities changed hands at full prices. Peas—the supply of - which was limited—met a steady sale at full currencies. The flour trade was steady, and prices wore well main tained. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURR.

The supply of foreign stock on offer in to-day's market was seasonably large, and in fair average condition. From our own grazing districts, as well as from Ireland, the receipts of beasts were somewhat extensive as to num ber, but deficient in quality. Prime Scots, crosses, short horns, &c., commanded a steady sale, at in some instances an advance in the quotations of 2d per 81bs, the best Scots having realised 5s per Ms ; otherwise the beef trade was in a sluggish state, on former terms. The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Nor thamptonshire amounted to 2,700 short-horns, sc. ; from other parts of England, 400 various breeds ; from Scotland, 28 Scots ; and from Ireland, 700 oxen and heifers. With sheep we were but moderately supplied, and their quality was inferior. Prime Downs and half- breds com manded a steady sale, at an advance in the quotations of 2d per 81bs, and other breeds moved off freely, at full prices. The best Downs were worth 6s 8d per 81bs. Notwithstanding that the supply of calves was very moderate, the veal trade was in a sluggish state, at last week's currency. The top price was 5s per Blbs. _ . - - in There was a good business doing pigs, the supply of which was tolerably extensive, at full prices. Per Sib. to s s. d. s. d.

COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) 2A ULEY V. TURNBULL. This is an appeal from a decision of Vice-Chancellor Sir John Stuart. Mr. Malins, Q.C., was heard for the appellant. This is a suit for specific performance of a building con tract. The defendant pleaded that the contract was void by fraud, unfair dealing, and abuse of powers therein con tained. The case is reported in the " Jurist," new series, p. 192. The Vice-Chanceller ordered £2,780 to be paid to the defendant in respect of houses already built, and directed inquiries as to extra work performed and money ordered to be paid by the architect in the course of building houses on the Gartan-road. The defendant objected, and appealed on the ground that the architect should have ordered payment as the work was completed. Mr. Matins, Q.C., in support of his argument, cited the case of the Liverpool Water Works (" De Gex and Jones' Reports," p. 324). His Lordship mentioned the cases of the Taff Vale Rail way Company and the Great Western—" Kemp and Roe" (" Chancery Reports," p. 358)—as cases in point, showing the powers exercised by architects and engineers in such contracts. Mr. Craig, Q.C., followed on the same side, and read the evidence produced, to show that the whole works were completed, and also the extra works, at the time the de fendants relinquished possession. The case is not concluded. (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood.) PETITION BY ORDER-IN RE ENGLISH AND IRISH CHURCH AND UNIVERSITY ASSURANCE SOCIETY. His Honour said,—l have read the papers during the vacation. This is a common order. His Honour ordered costs to be paid to parties properly appearing in the suit. No costs to voluntaries. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before Justices Wightman, Crompton, and Blackburn.) WHITMORE AND OTHERS, ASSIGNEES Or J. E. COLRIDGE V. CLARIDGE. Mr. Huddlestone applied on the part of the defendants pursuant to leave given to move that the verdict given, when the case was heard at the assizes, for the plaintiffs' for £1,873, be entered for defendant. The action was brought to try the validity of a bill of sale, given by the bankrupt on his brother, a farmer in Worcester. The bankrupt fell into difficulties in 1859, and applied to Messrs. Weaver to raise money to:pay out two executions ; but the money not being forthcoming, the bankrupt applied to his brother, the defen dant, who through his banker paid out the execution, and made some additional advances, taking as security two bills of sale of the whole of the personal property of the bank rupt on the two farms. It was proved at the trial that the money was actually paid, and the learned judge left the jury to draw their own inference. The Court granted a rule to show cause. COURT OF EXCHEQUER. (Before the Lord Chief Baron, and Barons Bramwell, Channell, and Wilde.) THE REV. MR. HATCH V. LEWIS. Mr. Sergt. Ballantine this morning showed cause against the rule obtained by Mr. Sergeant Shee, on the last day of Trinity Term, on the part of the plaintiff, calling upon the defendant to Rhnw esumn why thn on;.,+;ff judgment for his full costs under the 15th and 16th Vict., cap. 64, the action being a fit and proper one to be tried in a superior court, notwithstanding the verdict for thoplaintiff was under £2O, viz., 40s. It will be recollected that Mr. Hatch had been convicted of an indecent assault upon two children named Plummer, but on one of the children being indicted for perjury a verdict of guilty was returned, and the result was that Mr. Hatch received a pardon, and the elder child was sentenced to a short term of imprisonment. Mr. Hatch then brought an action against the Messrs. Lewis, solicitors, of Ely-place, for heavy damages, for alleged negligence on the first trial. The case was tried in this court in May last, and instead of estimating the damages at L 5,000, which was the sum set down by Mr. Hatch, the jury returned a verdict for the plaintiff for 40s. Application was then made to the Lord Chief Baron who tried the cause to certify that it was a pro per one to be tried in a superior court in order to enable the plaintiff to get his costs, but the judge refused. The learned counsel contended that the rule which had been obtained by the plaintiff, was practically an appeal against the refusal of the Lord Chief Baron to grant his certificate, and that the action brought was altogether an experimental one for the purpose of getting money from gentlemen who had served him well. Mr. Lush followed on the same side, and was addressing the Court when we went to press. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. SINGULAR CASE OF ROBBERY.—Charles Antey, a young man in the employ of Mrs. Peak°, coachbuilder, of Lisle street, Leicester-square, was charged before Mr. Beadon with stealing the half of a £5 note and 10s., the property of Mr. Charles Sanders, of Stockwell-park-crescent, coach builder, and who also occupies part of Mrs. Peake's pre mises. Mr. Sanders said—On the 18th of October I missed the half of a £5 note from a letter, the letter having been placed in the loft where the prisoner was at work. I received an anonymous letter last week as follows : " Sir,—l have got the half of a£s note, and you shall have it on payment of 605., which I consider fair, as it will square accounts a little. I could get £4 for it from the Jews, as I have inquired ; so I have given you the chance of getting a£s note for £2 10a. You can put the money in a place chalk-marked on the right side of the stairs, and I will put your half-note there." Mr. Sanders—ln consequence of this notice I, in com pany with Sergeant Joy, 9 C, marked 10s. in silver, tied it up in a piece of paper, and placed it in the recess on the staircase, in accordance with the anonymous letter. I went on Saturday and examined the place, and the packet was gone. I afterwards saw Sergeant Joy search the prisoner and find some of the marked money on him. The prisoner said he hoped I would not press the charge, and that he had done it because he wanted money. Sergeant Joy, 9C, said—l was called in on Saturday afternoon to Mrs. Parkes in Lisle-street, and stopped the prisoner. I asked him what he had about him, and he re plied " Nothing," but on my telling him that I must search him, he pulled out three of the marked shillings which I had marked on the previous night. I then asked where the rest of the money was, and the prisoner went up into the loft and pulled off his boots and stockings and in the latter were two marked half-crowns and a florin. Pri soner admitted he wrote the anonymous letter, and said it was to get 60 shillings from Mr. Sanders as he was badl off. Mr. Beadon—Then that admits the possession of the half-note. Mr. Sanders—The half note was sent by a gentleman at Bideford, Devon, and the letter from which it was taken also contained two halves of £lO notes sent by the Rev. Mr. Baines. The prisoner was committed for trial. THAMES. MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A POLICE CONSTABLE... — William Warner, a labourer, was brought before M r Woolrych, charged with assau ltin g and wounding Police constable Hine, 184 H, who appeared in Court with sur gical plaisters on his head, and in a weakl y condition from loss of blood. Last night there was a serious disturbance among a num ber of drunken ruffians in Church-street, St. George-in-the- East, and the Police-constable Hine endeavoured to suppress it, and was very roughly used. He was kicked and knocked down, and his hat fell off. He got up, and was pursuing one of his assailants into a house, in which the prisoner was a lodger, When he was again knocked down by a tremendous blow on the head, which was inflicted with a poker. He bled profusely, and was conveyed to the station house com pletely disabled. The surgeon of the division forbade the constable going on duty again this morning, but the case took a favourable turn, and he attended to give evidence, and swore positively that the prisoner was the man who struck him with the poker. A policeman, 116 H, who as sisted in quelling the riot, was also ill-used. The prisoner complained of the terrible punishment be received from the police. Mr. Woolrych said the defendant engaged in a row, and in a most reckless manner struck at the policeman. H e sentenced the prisoner to one month's imprisonment. ASSAIMT ON A TRADESMAN.—CorneIius Driscoll, a respectable-looki :; man, was brought before Mr. Wool rych charged with assaulting George Bandy, a builder of High -s , reet, Shadwell. The complainant began by stating that the prisoner com mitted a most gross, fearful, and savage assault upon him and then proceeded to state that he had dealt with the pri soner for colours, and there was an account between them. He believe he owed the prisoner about DI On Saturday evening he was paying his men, and the prisoner demanded payment of debt owing to him. Ho requested the defend ant to seek his legal remedy which any respectable man ought to do in a disputed account. The prisoner then struck him on the jaw with his fist, and dislodged one of his teeth. He believed that the prisoner had a sharp instrument in his hand when he struck him, for he bled copiously after he re ceived the blow. The complainant then produced the shirt he was wearing at time he was assaulted. It was covered with blood which flowed from a cut lip. Tho prisoner said Mr. Boddy abused him most grossly when he asked for his debt, and called him an Irish vagabond. Mr. IVoolrych asked the complainant if he applied the offensive term Irish vagabond to the complainant, and he said he might have done so. Mr. IVoolrych fined the prisoner 155., which he paid. LEIGH Ii UNT'S LAST EVENING 'AT HOME. (Front the Dublin University Magazine.) A happy circumstance brought me into brief but intimate communication with Leigh Hunt shortly before the close of those seventy-five years, the abundant fruits of which have secured for him the reputation of one of the most charming writers, whether of prose or verse, in our English literature. Our intercourse, though narrowed in point of time by his tranquil death, at Putney, on the 28th of August, 1859, had already ripened, as I have said, into nothing less than intimacy. His regard had rapidly be come, as indeed the ending of every letter to me cordially intimated in so many words, that of an affectionate friend ship. In one of these penned as recently as the first day of the very month of which he was fated never to see the ter mination, he wrote in my regard thus delightfully :—" It is like one of the friendships of former days come back to me in my old age, as if in reward for my fidelity to their memory." My identity as the survivor is, lam perfectly aware, a cii cumstance in itself utterly valueless, insomuch that I care not for one instant to indicate it, although writing here apparently so egotistically in the first person, though, in point of fact, doing so for the mere facilitation of my remembrance. A communication from the dear old poet-essayist, penned on Monday, the Bth of August—(it was the last scrap of our correspondence I was ever to receive)—closing strangely, it seemed at the time with a solemn benison that sounds to Ine even now almost like an unconscious farewell—" All blessings attend you, prays your affectionate friend, Leigh Hunt ;" began with a pleasant summons to him on the fol lowing evening at his house, in what he had characteristi cally designated in a previous note, " the not very attractive suburbanity" of Hammersmith. "To-morrow (Tuesday), by all means," he now wrote ; adding whimsically, as will be seen forthwith, "and the (that ?) evening will suit me better than any other, for a very curious extempora neous reason, as yon shall hear." The reason proving that after that evening, had I called, I should have found he had then taken his depar ture, bent upon a temporary removal in search of health to the opposite bank of the Thames, sojourning there as the cherished guest of the valued friend under whose shelter ing roof-beams he so soon afterwards expired. On Tuesday evening, then, the 9th of August, 1859, I am with Leigh Hunt for the last time in our earthly meeting. It is (unknown to himself), his own last evening in his last home residence, one that having been subsequently deserted by his family, may now, without any breach of delicacy be indicated for the satisfaction of those curious as to the last abode of the author of " The Town," as the little villa, No. 7, Cornwall-road, Hammersmith. As I enter the inner sitting-room, I find my host seated in his easy-chair, in his accustomed corner, musing sadly in solitude. Although to the very close of his life he re tained undimmed the most vivid appreciation alike of the beautiful and the whimsical—and I know not which, if either, of these two seemingly incongruous faculties held in his nature any thing like a distinct predominance—l could not but note especially his eager solicitude upon every opportunity to discuss the more solemn themes of time and eternity, above all of the dread and holy mysteries of the hereafter. A few evenings previously, when left aloae together, we had talked on thus late into the night; and now, again his thoughts reverted evidently with an awful joy to the same " high argument." It is manifest enough to me now, that these were but the instinctive flutterings of his spirit, as it felt the jarring back of the bolts of life, towards what Young has nobly termed in his " Night Thoughts," Death, that " Dark lattice letting in eternal day." Leigh Hunt, though now nearly one lustre beyond the allotted age of man, evidenced the same insatiable appetite as of yore tor ail the sugarplums of life, "lumps of flowers," and snatches of melody. A primrose was yet to him ever something more than a primrose, even though it had been the one whose delicate stalk was held between the lips of the vulgar ruffian, Blastus, in Douglas jerrold's story of " St. Giles and St. James." Yet, strange to say, Leigh Hunt—like Wordsworth himself, who thus first phi losophised poetically over the infinite suggestiveness of beauty latent in the primrose—Leigh Hunt, like William Wordsworth, was nevertheless totally deficient, as he assured me, in the sense of smell, detecting no perfume whatever, even from petals the most odoriferous. He, whose verses are actually fragrant with flowers 1 Instance this, his delicious apostrophe to the vernal month, that month of love and verdure, of cowslip and daffodil, that delectable season, of which Shakspeare's Touchstone war bles "In spring time, The only pretty ring time, When the little birds sing Hey ding•a-ding-ding, Sweet lovers love the spring." Instance this floral fragrance peculiar to Leigh Hunt's poetic effusions, the metrical apostrophe to the youngling month of the twelve, the apostrophe ending with that mel lifluous couplet, the conclusion of which is like a breath wafted from the hedge-rows : " May, thou merry month complete; May, thy very name is sweet 1" His imaginative sense of perfume, however, must have borne some analogy to the faintly adumbrated sense of colour prevailing among the colour-blind, among those who, wandering through a garden, recognise only by a difference of outline the distinction between the roses and the green leaves clothing the bush upon which they aro blooming ; who can there discover even no diversity of hue, later in the season, between the autumnal verdure and the scarlet berries. It was a distinguishing peculiarity with Leigh Hunt, that in regard to whatever of the beautiful his fancy touched, one might say of it, as he himself said of Paganini's affec tion for his violin, that "he loved it like a cheek." Nay, if ever he had, moreover, in his colloquial criticisms, to note soma fault or blemish in the thing he loved, it was always with the gentle apology, with the courtly extenuation of Tasso : "Non era pallidezza, ma candore I" So, likewise, when he was writing, particularly in verse, upon anything whatever possessing the divine grace and crowning merits of the Beautiful, it was ever with him, as it once upon a time actually chanced with Keats, while in the act of scrawling a letter to one of his familiar corres pondents (" Life and Letters," vol. ii., p. 18), when he suddenly broke off with, "Talking of pleasure, this mo ment I was writing with one hand, and with the other hold ing to my mouth a nectarine. Good I—how fine I I went down soft, pulpy, slushy, oozy, all its delicious embonpoint melted down my throat like a large beautiful strawberry.' Leigh Hunt, when writing, always, one might say, held in his other hand the nectarine. And the fruits this poetic gourmand loved the most, were they not the choicest glories of what he has daintily termed the " human orchard ?" Where—it is in his charming little poem on " Sudden Fine Weather"—he cries out de liciously— " Your finest fruit to some two months may reach : I've known a cheek of forty like a peach I" As he wrote, likewise so he read, with a hand and an eye of tender appreciation. The volumes, the leaves of which he had turned, bore upon their pages abundant evidence of this in little pencilled ticks of applause or objection, and the quaintest marginal annotations, penned in his elegant Italian caligraphy. These jotted lines and notes upon the margin he himself compared to loving pinches upon the an impress like a dimple ; the companionship of cheek, that left eeraecandoerf, moreover,them giving the this sympathetic appreciatiop. One of these well -fingered books, a very wall of fruit, has notified tr with a bee-made cica trice here and there upon , the riper green-gages and apricots —a v ol ume he dearly loved, and at hadread athduirolurgathinf,o,u(ritiaM. Abel Rm times—he as aars it,an "withs translation in creasing o the veritable Chinese Novel, " lu-kiao-li ; or, the Tw) night Fair Cousins")—Leigh Hu n t l en t me, this last • ht of our meeting, shortly before we parted, bidding me, as he did so, preserve it tenderly f or hi m, as one of the many million a firas of the apple of my eye. I have it still—a posthumou s gift from him, proffered to me from his death-bed, if I cared to keep it in his remembrance. It illustrates, by a two-fold attraction, what has here been said about those dimpling touches ; touches here imparted to the cheek of the Chinese Chronicler, by Leigh Hunt's own hand, and by that of his loved and honoured friend, Thomas Carlyle. Such fantastic touches, some of them I As, when a personage in the text called " Old Touchi" is spoken of incidentally. Whereupon, quoth Leigh Hunt in the margin, " Head of the genus irri tabile !" Again, where mention is made (i., 120), in con nection with the Imperial College, of one "Examiner Li," the once editor of the journal of that ilk, as the Scotch would say, cries out, with mingled exultation and surprise, upon the margin, "Myself I by title and name 1" More thickly, however, than the margins of his books, the pleasant hours of his converse were sown with whynsi: calities, ilmould not speak of even ono of ids own mities, without rendering it the theme of a joke and a ' pro vocation to laughter. The loss of his teeth, casually men tioned by him, caused him to exult at having made that ad ditional advance towards being etherialised. Who does not remember his sudden bursts of fun, even at moments when he was most thoroughly in earnest Y In stance this, where, in his discursive metrical thoughts " On Reading Pomfret's Choice," while insisting upon the ex quisite cruelty involved in that seemingly all-pleasant pas time of angling, he unexpectedly puts the argument (an argument he has just before been enforcing, almost with tears in his eyes), thus fantasticaliy to the more infatuated votaries of Izaak Walton's craft : " Fancy a preacher at this sort of work, Not with his trout and gu d geon, but his clerk. The clerk leaps gaping at a tempting bit, And, hah f an ear-ache with a knife in it 1" 'Twas the delightfullest, oddest, whimsicallest verse, well imaginable at times, that of our dear Leigh Hunt; and at other times so trembling through and through with the ten derest thrills of sensibility. Now warbling, as "A Lover of Music to his Pianoforte," as he well might, he who could sing so sweetly himself to a few careless touches upon the keys of that instrument : " Mirth flies to thee, and Love's unrest, And Memory dear, And sorrow with his tightened breast, Comes for a tear." Now carolling with the boisterous elvish glee of a Robin Goodfellow, in honour of the übiquity of that Protean glory of the Winter season—Christmas : "Now he's town gone out of town, And now a feast in civic gown, And now the pantomime and clown With a crack upon the crown, And all sorts of tumbles down." The Tory quintessence of this Puck-like naughtiness of the old poet's muse being distilled, by the way, into the aromatic ink with which he penned his Chorus of Fairies Robbing an Orchard—singing, shamefully, with an inter jected smack of the lips— "Stolen sweets are always sweeter, Stolen kisses much completer, Stolen looks are nice in chapels, Stolen, stolen be your apples." And, as if even this were not enough, murmuring yet further, sotto voce, with an audible chuckle; and a relish that almost makes one one long to go clambering over the moon lit wall alter the golden pippins— " When to bed the world are bobbing, Then's the time for orchard robbing Yet the fruit were scarce worth peeling, Were it not for stealing, stealing." Ever on the alert for a drollery, whether, he were sittings pen in hand, at his desk in solitude, or talking inter mittently, in the familiar intercourse of friend ship, he was so, none the less, upon the occasion of our final meeting, of his final tarrying in that latest of his many suburban London residences—the one already particularized as thus rendered in a manner classic ground, in the Cornwall-road at Hammersmith. And I well remember, in the very midst of the sadness of this his last evening in the dear home which he was never to see again, and of the eternal parting from which he seemed to have a mournful premonitory consciousness, I well remember the zestful enjoyment with which an accidental circumstance recalled to recollection his solemn recantation in the Examiner ! His solemn recantation—that is, shortly after his release from his two years' imprisonment in Horse monger-lane Gaol—of everything he had previously written in that journal against his Royal Highness the then Prince Regent—a recantation, ending, after a long catalogue of similar declarations, he was this, and he was that, and he was the other, and—he was thin! Throughout the evening, at intervals, but more heavily and continuously towards the close of it, the rain fell dole fully, with a subdued monotone in the sound that harmo nised;only too well with the evident sadness filling the old poet's imagination. In one of the momentary pauses of the conversation amongst us all, pauses that gradually, as the twilight darkened over the rooms, became, from mere sym pathy, not unfrequent—Leigh Hunt having just remarked that he had got a bundle of his books together, to take with him as " a bit of home"—there came, modulated by the dis tance, through the rain and the silence, the sound of an itinerant's organ down the road, playing (of all mal• d-propos airs in the wide world 1) Sir Henry Bishop's plaintive na tional melody—as much a national melody, in its way, as even " Rule Britannia"—the national melody of the Eng lish domestic affections, " Home, sweet Home." Almost immediately afterwards the wheels came.and went that bore Leigh Hunt from his home to his death-place. Like an old soldier upon his last march, he had wrapped his cloak about him and gone forth, with his heart-strings torn and bleeding, I believe, from that apparently trivial separa tion from those he loved : from his dear daughters and his little grandchildren. Standing by the garden gate, in the rain, I hear his cor dial voice still ringing back to me, as he drives away, almost cheerily calling me by name, in accents of farewell. As I write these last sentences, there lies before me, in aid of my remembrance, the only truthful effigy of those vene rable and thoughtful features : the large black eyes, still lustrous to the last; the long white hair, the reverse of gray, being silver, with an occasional thread or two of the original black intermingled. As I close this memorial of " Leigh Hunt's Last Evening at Home," my hand is laid upon n look of his white hair. RAILWAY INTELLIGEA CE. TRAFFIC RETURNS FOR THE WEEK. Miles Opened. Receipts.
