COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. BECK V. SHERWOOD. This was an action brought by the plaintiff, Dr. Beck, a physician, against the defendant, an extensive cheese monger, Ludgate-hill, to mover the sum of £24 155., being the one-ninth proportion o: the sum of £222 14s. Gd. which the plaintiff had been called upon to pay as one of the di rectors and promoters of s company formed in the year 1854, called the Australian General Investment Company, and which company was not fully registered until the 10th of July, 1855. In Dec., 1554, a Mr. Dean was appointed solicitor for the company, and his bill up to and attending the registration amounted to £222 14s. Gd., which he re covered against the eompsny by action on the company becoming defunct. Mr. 15owdeswell said the defendant did not deny his liability to contribute, but contended that he had paid moneys on account of the company more than he was liable to contribute. He was willing to refer the matter to the Master. Sergeant Shoe said he was quite willing to consent to such a course. A verdict was then taken for the plaintiff for the full amount, subject to a reference. COURT OF PROBATE. (Before the Judge Ordinary.) THE WILL OP ISABELLA. BANKS..--SMETEURST V. TOMLINS. Dr. Swabey, on the part of Dr. Smethurst, made an ap plication to the Court as to the mode in which the case was to be heard. He was in favour of the proceedings taking place before the Court without the assistance of a jury. Mr. Merryweather, on the part of Messrs. Tomlins, said he should wish the case to be taken before a special jury. The Court thought the case ought to take place before a special jury.—Ordered accordingly. SHERIFF'S COURT. (Before Mr. Sergeant Wheeler.) SINGULAR ACTION UPON A DISHONOURED CHEQUE, AND IMPORTANT QUESTION AS TO FINING WITNESSES. --WHITE V. LOW. This was an aotion upon a dishonoured cheque for £9 odd. Mr. Dod for the plaintiff, said the circumstances in this case were very peculiar. Plaintiff was a witness, and defendant, who is a merchant, gave him a cheque for his expences. The taxing master, however, disallowed the amount, and then defendant stopped payment of the cheque at his banker's. Mr. Dod further stated that he had sub poenaed the defendant to prove the handwriting to the cheque. His Honour—You might have subpoenaed the bank clerk. Mr. Dod—He thought it unnecessary to take a clerk away from the bank, and if any one be troubled it had better be defendant. Defendant was then called upon his subpoena in the usual form, but entered no appearance. Mr. Dod—l shall now ask your honour to inflict the usual fine. His Honour—Have I the power ? MR, BRIG. Mr. Dod—Yes. It is marked on the subpoena "under a penalty of £lO, unless reasonable cause be assigned for the absence of the witness.'' His Honour then referred to the endorsement on the back of the subpcnna, and found that the subpoena was only served yesterday, and that conduct money (70. 6d.) was given to the defendant, His Honour did not feel justified in inflicting a penalty, as the subpoena was served at so short a notice ; but the case would be adjourned, and if plaintiff gave defendant notice, and then defendant did not attend, his honour would have very little consideration about fining him, CRIMINAL COURf.—(THIS DAY). • OLD COURT. (Before the Recorder.) Edwin Haven, aged 15, pleaded guilty to a charge of stealing a cashbox and £l5, the property of his master. He was sentenced to,nine months' hard labour. George Eanest Smith, a gentlemanly-looking person, pleaded guilty to a chirge of bigamy. He had treated both his wives with great cruelty. He was sentenced to 18 months' imprisonment, with hard labour. r v.oro,i 7 TrrFiLIGENCE.-( Via Day), MAR LBO ROUGH-STREET. GIINTLEMBNAND T ITU RO A of Thornton Heath, Surrey, was Oharged`befora Mr. Tyr whitt with being drunk and disorderly, and Mr. Foster Graham, 37, Oxford-street, gentleman, was charged with being drunk and creating a disturbance at the Vine-street station. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, ap peared for the defendants. Bruce 88 C, said—This morning, about two, while on duty in Princes-street, Leicester-square, I saw the defend ants with some prostitutes and cabmen round the door of the wine rooms known as " Kate Hamilton's." The de fendants were endeavouring to gain admittance, but the door porter, seeing they were drunk, refused to let them in. I requested the defendants to go away several times, and Graham got into a cab with a prostitute and left. The de fendant Armstrong said he was - if he would go, and should remain as long as he liked. I was then Compelled to take Armstrong into custody. When I got to the Vine street station the defendant Graham made his appearance, and asked to see the inspector, and as I observed he was drunk I told him to wait a few minutes. He said—" I'm —if I'll wait," and forced his way in. I asked him to wait in the reserve room, and he behaved in a disorderly manner. I then told him he must consider himself in cus tody for the disturbance he had made. By Mr. Lewis—Graham did not go to the station to complain of me that I know of, and he did not say so. He came to the station in the cab with the prostitute. The defendants were together at the door of " Kate Hamilton's." There is no one here from "Kate Hamilton's" to complain. Mr. Lewis said he thought it a piece of officiousness on the part of the constable. There was no one from the house to complain, and not even a second constable to cor roborate ; and he asked his worship whether there was suf ficient to warrant Armstrong being taken into custody. The defendant Armstrong went quietly to the station, and then when Graham went to the station to inquire after his friend, who had been dragged to the station, and to com plain to the inspector, he was charged himself with being drunk. Gillett, 214 C, was sent for, and corroborated Bruce; 88 C. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should discharge Armstrong, bui fine Graham 10s. or seven days. TVORX' fifElV. Already Mr. Bright's comm violently at issue with his While he strives to ally, - partnersl . are ,;oveted political allies. - ...re by flattery of themselves and vituperation of all above them the leaders of the trades unions his political standa r d, hi s brothers and associs' ~,,, in business are in collision with the unionists in their own employment, and are busy in to the satisf ac ti on o f the law' the lawlessness of those whose aid he earnestly solicits. Really the member for Birmingham is most unfortunate in his personal associations. His denunciations of b rib ery are are suddenly cut short by public exposure of the most outrageous and unscrupulous bribery by the agents of his brothers-in-law. Scarcely has that scandal subsided—scarcely has he adopted a new line, and invoked the cause of reform to put down injustice and intimidation—the beneficent agency of the trades unions—than his Parliamentary colleagues repudiate the alliance, and his own brothers appear before the Rochdale magistrates to prosecute for intimidation the agents of the Carpet Weavers' Trades Union. It is really very hard upon him. If he persuade his partners to allow the unionists to escape for the sake of conciliating the political support of their confederates in other and more important trades, he exposes himself to be accused as a mere pretender to the championship of the people ; as having from greed or temper sanctioned a step which has unjustly turned scores of indus trious labourers of of work. If, on the other hand, he comes forward by his partners to expose the injustice of the weavers' demand, and to vindicate his own character as a democrat, he is forced to hold up to public condemnation the character of the very associations with whom he but yesterday proposed to establish in politics an offensive and defensive alliance. We are glad, both for the sake of a respected and well-deserving firm, who " did not choose their brother," that he has consented or been compelled to allow them to follow that course which least damages his personal character and is most fatal to his political purposes. The firm of which Mr. John Bright is the best known member have prosecuted, before the magistrates of Rochdale, four of their carpet-weavers on the charge of annoying, threatening, and trying to deter from work an over looker in their employ. The culprits were defended by Mr. Ernest Jones, the Chartist orator, martyr, and quondam editor. They were found guilty ; and two were sentenced to a fortnight, two to a month, in prison. These are the men whom Mr. John Bright calls to his aid in his crusade against the con stitution, and to whom he proposes to transfer the preponderance of political power. It is a pity that he did not take precautions to prevent the publication of certain unpleasant facts which came out in evi dence. On the one hand, it was proved that his mill had pumped out hot water on the assemblage of his political friends who assailed its gates. On the other side, it was sworn that the cowardly ruffians employed by the Union had thrown tar from behind a hedge over a little girl, the daughter of one of the witnesses for the prosecution. The case wears an ugly aspect for both parties to this demagogic alliance. THAMES. It is due to the partners of Mr. John Bright to observe that the rights of the quarrel seem to be exactly what we had previously supposed. They had introduced new machinery, which would turn out 240 yards of carpet in the time and with the labour previously required to produce 160 yards. The work men had no claim whatever to share in the profits made by the investment of their employers' capital in mechanical improvement. Accordingly Messrs. Bright proposed to lower the rate of pay from ltd. per yard to ld., leaving the earnings of the men exactly the same as before for the same labour. But there was a nominal reduction, of which the opera tives, it is asserted, had not had fair warning before hand. This is exactly what, from the mutual contra dictions of the parties, we supposed to be the case when we first referred to this subject. It is probable that the masters acted hastily and discourteously; but it seems certain that the men were from the first substantially in , the wrong. For their attempt to compel their com rades to cease work no excuse can be made. It was simply and grossly criminal. But Mr. John Bright is hardly entitled to complain of it. He knew what trades unions were when he called upon them to assist him in wresting power from the educated classes to use it for their own ends. He knew them, as he knows now, that their aims were unjust to the capitalist classes, and their method of action grossly cruel and op pressive towards the independent working man. He knew that their intentions were incompatible with that freedom of trade for which he has always loudly clamoured, and with that commercial pros perity to which he has always been ready to sacri ' five European liberty and national honour. But he thought that the violence and recklessness of the unionists might be made available for the further ance of disloyal and unpatriotic intrigues, and he overlooked the certainty that these forces might be as easily turned against himself as against his country. The verdict of public opiaion will unani mously pronounce that it " serves him right." A case has just occurred. which shows the chayac -e ... inure serious light. An outrage has been attempted at Sheffield of that kind for which Sheffield is notorious. Every where assault and battery, stoning of women, fling ing tar over children, breaking men's heads are the regular weapons of the soi-disant champions of the " rights of labour." In Ireland the same champions were wont to shoot obnoxious landlords or farmers from behind a hedge. But the crimes which have given Sheffield its pre-eminence in infamy are worse than even the " agrarian" atro cities of Tipperary. The assassins there em ployed by the unions prefer such wholesale murders as that of the Rue Lepelletier. They chance the murder of half-a-dozen unoffending women and children to secure the unpunished as sassination of one hated workman. Bottles filled with explosive materials—a rude specie of bomb shell—are flang through the windows of the house which shelters the object of vengeance. The last of these exploded in the hands of a woman—the wife of the intended victim. She has, perhaps, already died—certainly she is likely to die—in horrible agony. Her husband has for the present escaped the dastardly vengeance of his enemies, to suffer a still worse fate in the knowledge that the horrible death intended for him has fallen on his young wife : to live in terrible ex pectation till the cowards venture on a more suc cessful scheme of murder. If the working men of Sheffield would not have England believe that they are without exception the worst, most dastardly, and most malignant creatures that disgrace the form of men and the name of Englishmen, we trust that they will at once break through the tyranny of the union, and dare to give up the delegates who hired the murderer, as well as the wretched coward himself, to the far too lenient judgment of the law. Both the actual perpetrator of this truly devilish crime, and his still more wicked and dastardly in stigators, are and must be known to them. Mean time, we leave it to Mr. Bright's own class to pro nounce judgment on the politician who for his selfish ends would raise the authors of the system, of which such outrages are the fruit, into a position of political influence. What must the object be whereof these men are to be the instruments ? Morning Herald. DARING ROBBERY. —Ann Reeves, a young woman of very doubtful reputation, was brought before Mr. Woolrych charged with stealing four shirts and a silk waistcoat from the Victory beer-shop, in the West India-road, Limehouse. It appeared that the prisoner was in the beer-shop on Saturday evening, and partook of some refreshment. Soon after she had left the house feur shirts and a waistcoat were missed. The prisoner was apprehended last night by Chad wick, 350 K, and she stated that she had pawned two of the shirts and a waistcoat at a leaving-shop in Salmon-lane, Limehouso. The articles were found at the place described. The prisoner had obtained a loan of ss. upon the articles. A woman, named Eliza Hazenfeldt afforded considerable amusement by describing the actions of the prisoner in the Victory beer-shop on Saturday night. She saw the pri soner in the bar parlour concealing things about her, and making herself up as if she was pregnant. The prisoner, in defence, said sho had only stolen two shirts and a waistcoat, and if the magistrate would dis charge her she would never do so again, and would pay Mrs. Johnson, the prosecutrix, for her property as soon as she could raise the money. Mrs. Johnson said she had missed four shirts and a waistcoat. THE CLEARANCE OF THE DEBTORS PRISONS, — The Registrars of the Court of Bankruptcy have finished their labours for the present at the metropolitan prisons. From Whitecross-street Prison 33 have been released by the Registrars, and about 24 from Horsemonger-lane Gaol, and some from the Queen's Prison. Yesterday there were only 105 in Whitecross• street Prison, of which 90 were " sheriffs ;" and in Horsemongor-lano Gaol, only 18; and of that number 6 were comity court commitments. The next return of the keepers, on the Ist Dec., will show the state of the prisons contrasted with the first return. Cre ditors wish to know how the parties are to be re-committed after leaving. One of the benefits of the new law is that persons can get themselves " friendly" arrested, and, by de claring themselves " paupers," be relieved from all fees, even the gaoler's fee, and for a small amount to an attor ney be declared bankrupt, and for another small sum have his case completed. The present object is to make a " clearance of the prisons," and to consider the creditors on the hearing. Chadwick said the prisoner was in custody a few weeks ago for robbing her newly-furnished lodgings. Mr. Aroolrych—l convict the prisoner of improperly dis posing of the property, and fine her 10s. and 20s. the value, and in default 21 days' imprisonment. FATAL ACCIDENT TO LADY CHARLOTTE CHET wYND.—The family of Sir George Chetwynd, of Grendon hall, near Atherstone, have been thrown into the deepest affliction by an accident which has caused the premature death of Lady Charlotte Chetwynd. The house was full of company on Saturday last, and during the afternoon Lady Charlotte was out riding in the neighbourhood of the mansion with a party of her friends, when the animal she rode shied and bolted, and presently threw her with great violence. Lady Charlotte fell on her head and sustained several severe contusions, from which she never rallied ; and, in spite of every attention and the best medical aid, she expired a little before six o'clock on Sunday morning. Lady Charlotte had just attained her 47th year. She was a daughter of the late Marquis of Downshire, and married in 1843 Sir George Chetwynd. DREADFUL DEATH.—On Thursday Mr. E. Taylor held an inquest at the Royal Forester Inn, Stanley, Wake field, on the body of George Armitage, a colliery engine • wright. The deceased had been for some time suftVng from mental depression, believing that he was going to lose his work, &c., and on Wednesday he went, in the usual course of his duty to a pumping engine in Auchthoi pe-la7e, belonging to his employers, Messrs. Hudson and Co., with the intent to mend a "crank-pin." Whether or not be tried to mend the pin is not known, for he never told the engineer to stop the engine, as was his custom ; but next morning his body was found at the bottom of the " crank hole," where evidently he had been crushed to death- The jury considered there was no evidence to show whether he had got into the hole intentionally or accidentally, and so returned an open verdict.—Leeds Mercury. THE CATTLE TRA DE.—MALTON, Nov. 23. Horned cattle for farm-yard purposes have been in short supply to-day, and business passing slight, a further small decline in value being apparent, particularly in Irish beasts, which are fully lOs per head below the values of last month. Turniping sheep are still in demand, and although some what easier to buy have not participated so greatly in the fall as other lean stock. The fat market is much easier ; good beasts sell at 6s 6d to 7s per stone estimate, and sheep 61d to 7d per lb. Very prime beef for Christmas is worth 8s per stone. Dairy cows in great request at very high rates, prices ranging f rom £lB to £3O, as per quality and promise. The pig -market very firm, especially for farm yard purposes; pork pigs, 7s 6d per stone. SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY, EXETER-HALL. — The first concert of the 30th season takes place on Friday next, the 29th inst. Mendelssohn's " Athalie" the illustra tive verses recited by Mr. George Vandenoff) and Han del's " Dettingen Te Deum" are the works selected for perfolztance, TILE H ISTION. We feel we aro owl:, doing justice to the Directors of the British Fishery Society when wo explain in a few sentences the present position of matters in regard to the proposed new harbour here, and the circumstances which have led to them. It will be in the remembrance of our readers that at a meeting of the directors, held on 31st July last, it was resolved to ask an interview with the Presi dent of the Board of Trade, with the view of ascer taining the mind of that Board on a proposal for carrying out the southern division of the breakwater proposed by theßoyal Commission on Harbours,leav ing it to future ability to complete the entire work. What transpired at that meeting, and what came out of it, we are not at liberty to say, except that a correspondence followed, that Mr. Traill and Mr. Loch and Lord Bury particularly exerted them selves in enforcing on the Board the impossibility of the bay of Wick being allowed to remain longer in its present dangerous state. During the corre spondence suggestions were thrown out as to whether, in the absence of any indication of a reso lution on the part of Gover nmen t t o carr y ou t the recommendations of the Royal Commission, it might not be well for th e Di rectors to cons id er t h e propriety of proceeding with an erection on a less extensive scale, but fully sufficient to meet the wants of the fishing and of the local traffic. This suggestion was at once taken up. An improvised meeting of Directors, attended by his Grace the:Duke of Sutherland, the Earl of Caithness, and Mr. Loch, wa3 held at Dunrobin Castle, and it was resolved that if a suitable harbour, in the six fathom line, could be erected for one hundred thousand pounds or thereby, the Directors would undertake that re sponsibility and go to Parliament to obtain the necessary powers. The Messrs. Stevenson received the necessary instructions as to plans, and the law agents were empowered to draw up a bill, and issue the notices which -are now appearing in these columns. As there was no time to be lost, the directors having resolved not to allow another session to pass over without aa_ commencement being made, the notices had to be somewhat indefinite, especially in regard to the site of the proposed south quay, as the directors are resolved on going as far to the south side of the bay as their funds will admit. The line of deviation is 100 yards, and if it is found that the society's resources, or a supplement from another source, will allow of Cairnduna being adopted, those interested may rely upon it that that will be the site. That, however, depends on the result of calculations and of efforts making in another direction. But it is well for our readers to know that at the least the new harbour will not be tidal but deep water ; that it will be accessible at all times ; that at least there will be 30 feet at low water, ordinary spring tides; that an area of nearly 20 acres will be en closed ; that not less than £lOO,OOO will be expended on the works, and while there will, as may be ex pected, be a considerable increase on the dues levi able at the port, we have reason to believe that the new tariff will still be under that at such places as Peterhead, Fraserbuigh, and Lossiemouth, which are all more or less tidal. Several of the directors, including Lord Caith ness, Mr. Traill, and Mr. Loch, are now in London, as well as one of the Messrs. Stevenson, and we confidently assure our readers that everything will be done by them to secure a result which will meet the approval and merit the gratitude of all concerned. Lord Bury is also doing everything in his power to obtain a grant in aid from Govern ment, and we only do his Lordship justice when we say that if he fail it will not be for want of perse vering and painstaking exertion. Should his Lord ship succeed, the harbour will be proportionally larger ; but if not, the directors will no longer allow precious time to be lost and valuable interests to be perilled and sacrificed by waiting for the Government, but will leave some future Ministry to complete the safety of the bay of Wick by erecting a breakwater from the north side. The plans, not yet definitely fixed, will be de posited next Saturday, in terms of the standing orders of the House of Commons, and a month hence the bill will also be lodged and made public. But until details are known, we would request all concerned to suspend their judgment, and to rest satisfied that the Directors of the British Fishery Society are earnestly resolved to secure an erection which will suit the wants and meet the wishes of all concerned, and make the harbour at Wick with out exception the best on the north-east coast of Scotland, and that too on terms which will neither be oppressive to those frequenting it nor equal to those which others elsewhere are subjected to, who enjoy less favourable advantages.—Northern Ensign. 1 THE .WINDHA M LUNACY CASE. The inquiry into the alleged lunacy of William Frederick Windham, Esq., of Fellbrigg Hall, Nor folk, was brought to a conclusion on Saturday. The alleged lunatic is a young gentleman of vast property, the next heir to which is his uncle, Major-General Charles Ashe Windham. With this uncle and other relatives young Mr. Windham was not on the best of terms, and he accordingly executed a deed, barring the entail, in order to prevent any of the property from passing into their hands. The proceedings before the Lords Justices originated in a petition signed by Major- General Charles Ashe Windham, Captain Wind ham or Cromer, the Marquis of Bristol, Lord Alfred Harvey, M.P., Lady Listowell, and others, pray ing that a writ de lunatico inquirendo might issue against Mr. Windham. The case was conducted with closed doors, but a contemporary gives the following as the substance of the affidavits :—" Gen. Windham, Lord Alfred Harvey, and other relatives, alleged a variety of harum-scarum boyish pranks on the part of Mr. Windham. A great many particu lars respecting the extravagant life he led in town were also entered into, and great stress was laid upon the marriage he had contracted. The facts respecting this unfortunate alliance are, we believe, as follows :—Mr. Windham, upon coming into his immense fortune, was led into society by no means fit for a gentleman of his station of life. Among his acquaintances was a lady named Agnes Ann Rogers, better known by the name of Agnes Willoughby, whom he accidentally saw riding in Hyde-park. Of this lady Mr. Windham became deeply enamoured, and made her a proposal of marriage. She consented to change her name from Rogers to Windham, on condition that £BOO per annum should be at once settled upon her for her separate use, and that her husband, on attain ing 28 years of age, should increase this sum to £1,500. This was done, and the marriage was solemnised on Aug. 30 last. It turned out a most - unhappy one, and at the expiration of about a month they parted ; not however, before the fair bride had been presented by her hus band with jewellery to the value of £14,000. She returned in a short time, and has resided with him at intervals until a few days ago, when she again left him. These circumstances are now alleged against Mr. Windham, as tending to show that he is of unsound mind, and incapable of conductiug his own affairs. Other allegations state that he cut down a large number of trees on his estate, that he was of dirty habits with regard to his person, that he was guilty of cruelty to animals, and that he was in the habit of driving a locomotive engine, attired in the costume of a railway guard. The statements of the medical gentlemen concerned for the petitioners were rather vague and unsatisfactory. Indeed, one doctor did not even venture to assert Mr. Windham was insane, but contented himself with expressing an opinion that it was extremely improbable that he would be capable of managing his affairs. To rebut these charges, a mass of medical testimony was brought forward tending to show that Mr. Windham had con ducted his affairs in a manner which precluded all idea of insanity, and that his puerile freaks and ex pensive habits were only what might be expected from a young gentleman whose education had been neglected, and who had a large sum of money at his command. It was affirmed that, with the ex ception of the purchase of jewels for his wife, he had invariably acted in a way which clearly showed that he knew the value of money, and was not too ready to part with it. The allegations that he ne glected personal cleanliness and:that he was guilty contradiction. Several of cruelty to animals met with a flat diction Several gentlemen who visited him at Fellbrigg . Hall in September last, asserted that he then behaved in a perfectly rational manner, and exhibited no sign whatever of aberration of intellect. The Lords Justices, after hearing the affidavits on either side, considered that a prima facie case had been made out.—A commission of lunacy will therefore be issued, and a jury impanelled to try the question. THE GALE.—CHATUAM,Monday Evening, 8 p.m. —Since 4 o'clock this afternoon it his been blowing a fierce gale of wind from the south-west, with every appearance of its continuing through the night. The barometer indicates 29.4, and the mercury is still falling. All the vessels in harbour have been made snug, most of them with an addi tional anchc,r down. Up to the hour of forwarding this despatch no casualties had occurred. UNUSUAL DEGREE OF COLD.—A correspondent at Clifton says :—The temperature of the air having been remarkably cold for the season, I beg to send you the fol lowing meteorological results for the week ending Nov. 23 : —Means: Pressure, reduced to sea-level, 30.024 inches; temperature, 37.4 deg ; cloud, 3.4 ; ozone, 2.8.

The minimum (20' 1 ) is the lowest temperature at four feet above the ground. My situation is by no means the coldest in the neighbour hood. My records do not contain another instance of sl lovr a temperature 139 early as Nov. lt. The Valley of a Hundred Fires. Hurst and Blackett's Standard Library. Wo are glad to see this charming story re-appear in so convenient and attractive a form. Messrs. Hurst and Blackott's Standard Library is selected from the best works of history, fiction, and general literature published by them, and the high character and variety of the series has maintained its popu larity. The present volume can scarcely fail to delight the subscribers. It is a record of domestic life among the wild Welsh hills ; the history of a family and a neighbourhood told in that easy, genial style peculiar to the authoress of "Margaret and her Bridesmaids." Emily Leslie, the heroine, is a charming character. We are introduced to her as a young wife and mother taking her journey into Wales with her husband, who has just been appointed to a moderate living in the Valley of a Hundred Fires. Her sweet temper, loving heart, and unfailing readiness of hand:soon turn the deso late house into a domestic paradise, defying the smoke and dust, and making even the " cinder tip" endurable. She is afterwards the happy mother of a large family, whom she brings up to be worthy of their parents, and though sickness and trouble chequer the smooth course of their lives, Emily never fails. When death snatches away their chief treasure, resignation takes the place of con tentment ; when envy and uncharitableness lift their voices she refuses to hear them. Her husband, John Leslie, is also excellent in his way, and his grave sense and sincere goodness render him a worthy companion to his admirable wife. The family of the Robartses are a strong contrast to the Leslies, and we are shown how the different training and different spirit of their homes led to very opposite results. There are many other cha racters introduced, though none can rival Mrs. Leslie in the reader's regard. The varying dispo sitions and qualities of her numerous family are aptly described, and a degree of individuality preserved, which is somewhat difficult among ten daughters! The story appropriately closes with the celebration of the Leslies' golden wedding-day, when their children's children gather round them and "rise up and call them blessed." " John and Emily were so essentially the same John and Emily who mounted the Bristol coach 48 years ago to make a settlement in Wales, that it is needless to describe them again. They had grown old in appearance, and, to keep his head warm, John wore a wig, made of snow-white hair, which, truth to say, was not always put on straight; while Emily was the prettiest old woman ever seen—a close full cap surrounding her pretty old face, beaming yet with the spirit of as youthful a heart and buoyant a spirit as when first introduced to the reader. The world had pro gressed amazingly fast, especially of late years, and their children and grandchildren were swimming with the tide, no whit behind anyone, yet when they came within the charmed circle of our hero and heroine, they left their worldlinesses, their luxuries, their daintinesses at the garden gate. Life-Guardsmen, Crimean and Indian war riors, Arctic heroes, with courtly young damsels, and graceful little queens of fashion and beauty, thronged round grandpapa and grandmamma, with an affection and admira tion called forth by the genuine truth and beauty of their characters. Had their feelings been analysed, it is probable they regarded them as the dilettanti; regards antique gems. Or, it might be that the boundless wealth of affection possessed by Emily had diffused itself in all its purity through her descendants; while tho fine heart, true faith, and good sense possessed by John had imparted the testa to value such affections as the best gift God bestows on man." On Food : being Lectures delivered at the South Kensington Museum, by E. Lankester, M.D., F.R.S. Hardwicke, Piccadilly. These admirable lectures, which present so much. condensed information in so clear and available a form, are now collected in one volume of a conveni ent size and moderate price. The substance of them formed part of the author's course on Materic a Medics. and Therapeutics at St. George's School of Medicine , and a course on the vegetable kingdom at the Royal Institution. Subsequently, on Dr. Lankester's ap pointment to the scientific superintendence of the food collection at the South Kensington Museum, he obtained the permission of the Committee of Council on Education to deliver lectures, in order to convey some instruction to the public respecting the department under his charge. The great success of these lectures has already made them widely known; but those who have heard them will probably be very ready to add them to their libraries for future reference, while those who have not been so fortu nate should not fail to take advantage of this opportunity of so pleasantly extending the area of their scientific knowledge. There are two courses of lectures in this volume, each course containing six. Only one series has as yet begin delivered at the Museum, the others being written out from the author's notes. The first six are—On Water, on Salt, on Heat-giving Foods, on Oil, Butter, and Fat, on Flesh-forming Food, and on Animal Food. The other course contains lectures—On Alcohol, on Wines, Spirits, and Beer, on Condiments and Spices, on Tea, on Coffee and Chocolate, and on Tobacco. It will be perceived that the subjects of the two courses are of distinct characters ; the one being, as Dr. Lankester observes, necessary to our daily life, the other auxiliary to its maintenance. The simplicity of the language and the clearness of the style render the work intelligible and interest ing to the least scientific reader, and we may con fidently join in the hope expressed by their talented author, that they may contribute " to advance the study of those laws by which life and health are secured, and without a knowledge of which man can never realise the highest objects of his existence." Song Birds and How to Keep Them. By E. A. Maling, author of " Indoor Plants, and How to Grow Them," &c. Smith, Elder, and Co. The keeping of pet birds is such a favourite amusement with all ages, that directions as to how their health, comfort, and powers of song can be best maintained are by no means unnecessary. The writer of this little work has already given us a very useful manual of instructions regarding the care of indoor plants, and having devot3d much time and attention to her feathered favourites, she has wisely published this companion volume, which will be found of great service I- , who keep birds. An intimate acquaintance wilh the habits, requirements, and likings of the ti ibes of air has qualified her to speak with confide _lce and authority as to their wants and wishes. The directions are all of a very practical nature, and we contmendthis treatise to all who are interested in the welfare of these little songsters. THIS' DAY'S MARKETS. HAY MARKETS.

STREET HAWKING OF NEWSPAPERS.—yesterday afteinoon a deputation of some of the leading wholesale and retail newsvenders of the metropolis waited on Sir Richard Mayne, her Majesty's Chief Commissioner of Police, at the office in Whitehall-place, for the purpose,of calling his at tention to the increase in the system of hawking newspa pers in the streets, more particularly on Sunday, as a public nuisance and obstruction, as injurious to the system of the trade in general, who have to keep shops and to pay rent and taxes, and requesting him to put in motion the in tervention of the police for its suppression. Mr. Chapman, of Foley-street, having stated the objects of the deputation, called the attention of the Chief Commissioner to the act of Parliament passed last session in relation to street hawking, and which he contended gave the Commissioner of Police power to interfere in the matter. Mr. Hederwick, solicitor, to the Stamps and Taxes, had given it as his opinion that the police authorities had the power to interfere, on the hawkers or boys being given in custody. The Chief Com missioner, after referring to the act which defines that per sons seeking for orders for goods at other men's houses.e theg about act; shall bo deemed hawkers, said he could not, from in ht e read ingwithofnanewysopfaptheressefcotrionssa,lesewe ethreathaanwyhperearsounndr go neither did he see any provision in it that empowered the . police to interfere summarily.' t h t he a p d al :c o o t couldbeeud found not veryem - the streets was a public nuisance lift hawking mu st b e mad e indictable newspapers ill at l lawd. under dseurmt the summons m . i g T h h t e b y e m tried ight pr before o.c e proceed un er magistrate. the s 11 7 2 o_ p wa o s ye clearly of day Trading A ct , effective.
