OM MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK, Two O'CLOCK. At Paris, this day, according to Mr. Rsuter'a telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Rentes were 67f 00c to 67f 05c. Inanimate. At a general meeting to-day of the proprietors of the Oriental Bank Corporation—Mr. H. G. Gor don in the chair—an ad interim dividend of £1 15s. per share, or at the rate of 7 per cent. per annum Was declared payable on the 2d November next. Dulness is still the principal feature of the mar ket for the English Funds, foreign stocks and new schemes engaging almost the exclusive attention of the investing classes. After the official hours of business yesterday Consols receded I—viz., to 921 931 for money, and to 93 for account. The present quotations, however, show a recovery to 93 a for money, and to 931 I for the account.

C,)nsols Money DittoTAceount .. Business in the Discount Market has been some. what impeded by the uncertainty felt regarding the policy the Bank of England directors may pursue at their meeting to-day. The general im pression seems to be that no immediate change will be made, in the meanwhile a certain degree of reserve is manifested, and the rates are almost nominal. A further sum of £48,000 in gold was taken into the Bank yesterday. The biddings for £300,000 in bills on India took place yesterday at the Banu of England. The pro portions allotted were—to Calcutta £160,000, to Bombay £120,000, and to Madras £20,000. The minimum price declared was, as before, ls. per rupee on Calcutta and Madras, and ls. lltd. oy Bombay. The applications within the ][nits amounted to £3,170,000. Tenders on Calcutta, at 111 d., will receive about 30 per cent.; on Bom bay, at 25., about 6 per cent.; on Madras, at lltd., about 93 per cent.; and all above these prices in full.

MARLBORGJGH-STREET. TILE OUTCASTS TN THE PARKS.-Mr. Rogers, One of the officers of St. George's parish, waited upon Mr. Knox this morning, and stated in refe ence to the above subject that he had, on the part of St. George's parish, been in communication with the Commissioners of Woods ani Forests and the Commissioners of Police, and ascertained that a correspondence had been going on between them, the Commissioners of Police being aware of the alarming extent of the nuisance, and that steps were about being taken for the purpose of suppressing the evil. Mr. Knox said he was very glad to hear it, for the evil required suppression, for the sake, not only of the poor creatures—two of whom were before him the previous day and than whose appearance nothing could be more de plorable—but for the protection of the public. The number admitted to the infirmary of St. George's Workhouse has been rather understated—the number altogether being 47—one female stating that she had not left the park for five weeks I living there night and day. CAUTION TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS—PERMITTING BAD CHARACTERS TO ASSEMBLE IN A PUBLIC-HOUSE. — Mr George Axtell, of the Horse and Groom, Castle-street, Leicester-square, appeared to answer the complaint of the police of permitting bad characters—(to wit, thieves and prostitutes)—knowingly to asrdemble in his house, contrary to his license. Gordon, 323 A, proved visiting the defendant's house and seeing eleven girls he knew as prostitutes, and five young men about 18 years of age, two of whom he knew to have been convicted of felony, and two to be always in company of the little prostitutes frequenting Leicester-square. He (Gordon) spoke to the defendant, asking him to turn the persons out, but he said they were doing no harm, and de clined to do so. Defendant said he had only had the house three months, and did not know what sort of characters the persons were. Mr. Knox said that the officer informed the defendant what sort of characters he had in his place, and then he said they were doing no harm. Mr. Knox fined the defendant 405., and advised him to be cautious for the future, as the police would very properly be on the alert. The defendant paid the fine. THAMES. JUVENILE DELINQUENCY.—Edward King, a wall-dressed and intelligent boy 14 years of age, was brought up on re mand before Mr. Partridge charged with stealing a half sovereign. Mr. R. Tindal Terry, the uncle of the boy, and dwelling at No. 12, Arbour•square, Stepney, said the prisoner had frequently plundered his father, and a few days since he stole a half-sovereign, which he said he had taken from his father's bed. Mr. Partridge said the prisoner had been in custody a week, and he hoped he was a better boy. He asked him if he would promise to behave better in future if he discharged him. 101 51 The boy—Yes, sir, I will. Mr Terry thought the boy was quite incorrigible, and said he had robbed his father four times. The father, who was a cripple, had been knocked down in the streets, and had £6O a year to live upon ; but he had better pay half of that money to keep the boy in a reformatory than have him at home. Mt. Partridge declined to send the boy to a reformatory, and said if he was brought before him again on a similar charge he would do so, and order the whole of the expenses of his maintenance to be defrayed by the father.

Chapman and Hall. As charming a story as any yet penned by An thony Trollope, "Rachel Ray" is, after all, nothing more pretentious than a faithful delineation of life as it actually is in an English country town and its suburbs. The work as a work of art is wholly unambitious, but it is, from first to last, we cannot help repeating it, charming. It is like one of those masterly little sketches by a great artist dashed down with a few apparently careless and unstudied touches of coloured crayons upon a rough-grained neutral-tinted drawing -board—sketches so glowing into life and beauty under the rapid hand of the artist, that they even win from us a more instant and cordial admiration for the consummate skill with which they have been wrought than that same artist's more elaborate compositions, in more endur ing materials, in oil, or in water colours, or as in the instance of Maclise's later masterpieces in that wonderful medium —that medium of perennial fresh ness and beauty —water-glass. As it appears to us, Mr. Anthony Trollope, so to speak, has worked (with how facile and untiring a pencil !) in each and all of these materials. He has so worked, in mediums of such diversity and with such a ready adaptation of his powers to the re quirements of each, that he has already become one of the most voluminous as well as one of the most popular novelists of his day. There are characters, moreover, which he has conjured up into imagi nary existence that may take their place, side by side, with the happiest creations of the most rarely gifted among his contemporaries. The Archdeacon Grantley of Anthony Trollope may be ranked un hesitatingly, as a kindly and humorous creation of this exceptionalikind, even with the Mrs. Poyser of Mary Anne Evans and the Colonel Newcome of W. M. Thackeray—with the Captain Cuttle of Charles Dickens, and Sir Bulwer Lytton's spindle shanked and red - umbrella'd Riccabocca. " Bar chester Towers," " Dr. Thorne," and the earlier volume of The Warden"---the last-mentioned being the book that first riveted public attention upon the genius of Anthony Trollope, to the instant recognition of its delightful freshness and originality —those three purely clerical stories may be re ferred to here as comprising within them the first epoch of our writer's career as a novelist. An inter mediate period there has elapsed since then, in which various highly entertaining but, as it seemed to us while reading them, far more carelessly written narratives, narratives, for the most part, of a manifestly ephemeral character, were scrawled off with wonderful rapidity—about the best of these, to our thinking, being our author's romance of " Castle Richmond." Afterwards have appeared in various forms, now as a serial tale in monthly parts, now as a periodical contribution to one of the popular magazines, now as a separate and com plete publication, works of a far more highly elabo rated character, brilliant fictions such as " Orley Farm," and "Frawley Parsonage." In "Rachel Ray " we have no such ingenious complication of plot, or subtle analysis of character as are recog nisable in those Itbri rnajores of Anthony Trollope. The novel, for one thing, is of lesser dimensions. The plot of it, for another, is the simplest well imaginable. Incidents of a momentous character there are none. Throughout the whole of the two volumes, it is nothing less than refreshing, in these days of sensational writing, to find not one solitary mystery. The scene is laid entirely in Devonshire. Principally in the little county town of Baslehurst. The course of the events related in the narrative, only once, for a very brief interval, taking us in one brief chapter of the second volume 40 miles by railway from the imme diate neighbourhood of the little town of Baslehurst —namely to the city of Exeter, the capital of De vonshire. Otherwise, from the opening of the tale to the close of it, we loiter about the streets or in the houses of Baslehurst—sauntering now into the village of Cawston, in quest of the simple-hearted Rector, old Mr. Comfort—driving with Butler Corn bury (before the close of the story M.P. for Basle hurst) along the beautiful highway leading to Corn. bury Grange, the old Squire's residence—and becoming more and more pleasantly familiar with every nook and corner of the pretty little cottage at Bragg's End, in which resides the heroine of the fiction, sweet, charming Rachel Ray : together with her widowed mother, Mrs. Ray (tar more simple hearted even than her favourite clergyman, Mr. Com fort)—and besides Rachel's widowed mother, her widowed sister, Mrs. Prime, grimly, acidly, cynically evangelical. The homely, natural, lifelike, delicately pencilled portraits of the women here cluster ing together in Baslehurst, are among the happiest of Mr. Trollope's delineations. There is a touch of the immortal Mrs. Poyser, already mentioned above, in the little incidental outline of Mrs. Sturt, the farmer's dame, on the opposite side of the green, at Bragg's End, to the Ray's Cottage. Mrs. Sturt relieving her sympathetic heart while mourning over Bach el l s .temporary estrangement from her lover, Luke Rowa n , with such old Devon shire rhymes as—" It's passing sweet when two hearts meet. But it breaks the heart when true hearts part." The Tappitt'a, too, are capitally drawn— not only the coarse, bluff, hard-headed, not to say pig-headed, old bully of a father, Mr. Tappitt, brewer, of Baslehurst, as acting partner or repre sentative of the firm of Bungall and Tappitt, but his " womankind" as well. Mrs. Tappitt, that most bungling of m atch -making, or any rate to that end manoeuvring mammas —who, in her florid and roundabout person is a sort of casual justifica tion of Nathaniel Hawthorne's horrid portrait of the English dowager. And, with Mrs. Tappitt, the mamma, the three Miss Tappitts her daughters —Martha, the staidest, and eldest, who is all for justice and common sense, Augusta, who having vainly set her cap at Luke, becomes scornful, not to say spiteful in temperament for ever afterwards, as the consequence of her failure in that same laudable effort, and the best of the bunch, the flower of the flock, cheery Cherry Tappitt, the truest t friend amongst them all, that is amongst the T a p e pitt family, to Rachel Ray. For c h arm i ng , li tt l e, innocent, tender love scenes, we know nothing prettier, in that way, than can be found in this same homely tale of the loves of Rachel Ray and Luke R owan . Instance the sunset scene under the elms near the stile of the old churchyard at Baslehurst ! Or that other scene upon the landing of the brewery house in the midst of the Ball, whith er our unso phisticated heroine Rachel has been chaperoned by charming Mrs. Butler Cornbury of the Grange, née Patty Comfort. Or the parlour scene in the cottage at Bragg's End when Ra c h e l nods (with a very little nod indeed) her acceptance of Luke as her betrothed. Or after the lengthened and heart wearying estrangement of the lovers, their final meeting in Mrs. Sturt's back parlour at the farm house on the opposite side of the green : that d ear little delightful back parlour, looking out upon the farm kitchen-garden with its roses and cabbages. The ball at the hrewery-bouse, the contention be tween Tappitt and Rowan about the brewery business, and the stormy election for the borough, when the Jewtailor, Mr. H art , from ever so many houses in Sh oreditch, and ever so many other houses in R egent-street, is defeated by a majority of one by the young squire Butler Cornbury, who has taken Betty C omfort to wife, and is now M.P. for Baslehurst ! Th ese are among the most important incidents or occurrences i of any not; here recorded in this glibly wr i tten and alluring little narrative. As among th e f ew more pass ages in the t wo volumes, serious and thoughtful we are tempted here to tra nscribe fro m th e pages of Rachel Ray, from the elec tioneering part of th e story of course, the following NOBLE DEFINITION Or A RADICAL. A radical is not necessarily a revolutionist or even a re publican. He does not, by reason of his social or political radicalism, desire the ruin of thrones, the degradation of nobles, the spoliation of the rich, or even the downfall of the bench of bishops. Many a y oun g man is fright ene d away from the just conclusions of his mind and the strong convictions of his heart by dread of being classed with those who are jealous of tke favoured ones of fortune. A radical may be as ready as any aristocrat to support the crown with his blood, and the chu rc h with his faith. It is in this that he is a radical ; that ho desires, expects, works for, and believes in, the gradual progress of the people. No doctrine of equality is his. Liberty he must have, and such position, high or low, for himself and others, as each man's individual merits will achieve for him. The doctrine of outward equality he eschews as a barrier to all ambition, and to all improvement. The idea is as mean as the thing is impracticable. But within,---is it in his soul or in his heart ?—within his breast there is a manhood that will own no inferiority to the man hood of another. He retires to a corner that an earl with his suit may pass proudly through the doorway, and he grudges the earl nothing of his pride. It is the earl's right. But he also has his right; and neither queen, nor earl, nor people shall invade it, That is the creed of a radical. Connected also with the electioneering part of the work is the subjoined most humourous picture, from -the-life, of the— HORRORS OF A PUBLIC DINNER AT AN INN. A horrid mess concocted of old gravy, catsup, and bad wine was distributed under the name of soup. Then there came upon the table half a huge hake,—the very worst fish that swims, a fish with which Devonshire is peculiarly in vested. Some hard dark brown mysterious balls were handed round, which on being opened with a knife were found to contain sausage -meat, very greasy and by no means cooked through. Even the dura ilia of the liberal electors of Baslehurst declined to make acquaintance with these dainties. After that came the dinner, consiging of a piece of roast beef very raw, and a leg of parboiled mutton, absolutely blue in its state of rawness. When the gory mess was seen which displayed itself on the first incision made into these lumps of meat, the vice-president and one or two of his friends spoke out aloud. That hard and greasy sausage -meat might have been all right for any thing they knew to the contrary, and the soup they had swallowed without complaint. But they did know what should be the state of a joint of meat when brought to the table, and therefore they spoke out in their anger. Tappit himself said nothing that was intended to be carried beyond the waiter, seeing that beer from his own brewery was consumed in the tap of the Dragon ; but the vice-president was a hardware dealer with whom the Dragon had but small connection of trade, and he sent terrible messages down to the landlady, threatening ber with the Blue Boar, the Mitre, and even with that nasty little pot-house the Chequers. " What is it they ex pects for their three-and-sixpence ?" said the landlady, in her wrath; for it must be understood that Sharpit knew well that he was dealing with one who understood the value of money, and that he did not feel quite sure of passing the dinner in Mr. Hart's bill. Then came a pie with crust an inch thick, which nobody could eat, and a cabinet pudding, s o called, full of lumps of suet. I venture to assert that each liberal elector there would have got a better dinner at home, an d would have been served with greater comfort ; but a public dinner at an inn is the recognised relaxation of a middle-class Englishman in the provinces. Did he not attend such banquets his neighbours would conceive him to be constrained by domestic tyranny. Others go to them, and therefore he goes also. He is bored frightfully by every speech to which he listens. He is driven to the lowest depths of dismay by every speech which he is called upon t o make. He is thoroughly disgusted when he is called on to make no speech. He has no point of sympathy with the neighbours between whom he sits. The wine is bad. The hot water is brought to him cold. His seat is hard and crowded. No attena2t is made at the pleasures of conversa tion. He is continually called upon to stand up that he ma y pretend to drink a toast in honour of some person or institution for which he cares nothing; for the hero of the even i n g, as to whom he is probably indifferent; for the church, which, perhaps, he never enters; the artily, w hi c h he regards as a hotbed of aristocratic in solence; or for the Queen whom he reveres and loves by reason of his nature as an Englishman, but against whose fulsome praises as repeated to him ad nauseam in the chairman's speech his very soul unconsciously revolts. It is all a bore, trouble, ennui, nastiness, and discomfort. But yet h e goes again and again, --because it is the relaxation natural to an Englishman. There is something gravely farcical in Mr. Anthony Trollope's description of that exceedingly low church parson—low eneugh to reach the level of dissent•—sleek, w orldly -prudent, short, unctuous m r . prong. Of a less obtrusive kind, Mr. Prong is of the genus Chadband. The almost, so to speak, ecclesiastical love scenes between Mr. Prong and Mrs. Prime during the anxious period for both of their temporary betrothal (for their wooing never acmes to anything, but is before long " off" al together), these hi g hly re li g i ous and pr oper" love scene s between Mr. Prong and and Mrs. Prim e, afford the f unn i est , o dd est contrast well conceivabl e, to the charmi ng l ove scenes a l rea d y referrednl s e e . ahserb,rinLguikneg and Rachel in the ball room, together, sometimes v er y closely together, a farm parlo ur, or near the churchyard t Prong and Mrs. P r i me being even at their moments about as " snug " in their wooing, as sr Iy 3 in r to, h Dandreary and h is enamorata, when seated at a distance fr om each oth er o f severa l arm ' s happiest Ln r d lengths in the memorable dairy scene on the greensward! The masterful character of t h e young hero of the tale is admirably well pourtrayed. His gay, impulsive self-confidence g a t times on the very vergeof conceit, never once becomes distasteful. Hi s contention with old T oho a cy p ee ipritnt,driving the latter at moments though it does into a state of almost frantic irritation, never once th:ng the read er i s at all disposed to leads him on to the milling of hi s own temper. The only w ith him about i s the hardness, so to say, quarrel of his stubborn silence to poor Rachel during the tedious, and, for her, most painful interval of their estrangement. As such a charming love tale should, hand a ll ends happily with Rachel R a y an d h e r surroundings.

The following epitome of the services of the above young officers of her Majesty's ship E u raylus, 35 guns, and flag-ship of Vice-Admiral Kuper, C. 8., who lost their lives at Kayosima, Japa n , ma y b e interesting : Capt. John James Stephen Joslin was o n l y 37 years of age, and entered the navy over 23 years ago, 19 years and 9 months of which had been employed in active sea service. He was acting lieutena nt of the Scout, 14, Corn. Loring, in the East Indies, i n 1847 ; and senior of the Thetis, 38, Captain K uper, C. 8., in the Pacific, from July 1850, to the spring of 1854, when he joined the Eurydice, 26, Cap tain Ommanney, in the White Sea, and re mained in her until promoted to commander, Nov. 2, 1854. As commander he served in the James Watt, 91, at D evon port, from May, 1856, until June, 1857; in the Princess Royal, 91, in the Mediter ranean, from Feb., 1858, until Dec., 1859, when he joined the Queen, 86, and again served on the same station until advanced to the post rank, Jan. 31, 1861. He was appointed to the Euryalus, 35, screw frigate, flagship of Rear-Admiral Augustus L. Kuper, C. 8., Feb. 10, 1862. Commander Edward Wilmot was only 30 years of age, and since he entered the navy, in 1845, had em ployed the whole of his time at sea. He was mate of the Prince Regent, 90, employed on particular ser vice, from J une, 1852, until the spring of 1853, when he was appointed to the royal yacht Victoria and Albert, and remained in her until September follow ing, when his captain, Lord .Adolphus Fitzolarence, G.C.H., obtained flag rank. He was advaneed to the rank of lieutenant, Sept. 26, 1853, and after a few months' employment in the Excellent, gunnery ship, at Portsmouth, joined the Royal Albert, 121, June 24, 1854, and was employed in the Medi terranean until Aug., 1858. He was lieutenant of the Indus, 78, flag-ship of Vice-Admiral Sir Houston Stewart, on the North American and West India station, from Nov., 1858, until the spring of 1859, and was flag-lieutenant to Rear- Admiral George Rodney Mundy, C. 8., in the Hannibal, 89, in the Mediterranean, from May, 1859, until advanced to the rank of commander, Dec. 24, 1861. As commander he served in the Agamemnon, 89, on the North American and West India stations from Jan., 1862, until paid off in October following; and his appointment to tho Euryalus was on San. 29 of the present year. Causes of the late Earthquake. To our minds the inferences to be drawn are— 1. That every earthquake is not absolutely the same in its development. 2. That an earthquake is in variably the result of an equalisation of force from some central portion of the earth, where such force has accumulated, to the surrounding parts. 3. That the force may in some cases take the form of elec tricity, and that the shock felt may be, in truth, a subterracean electrical storm causing no neces sary disruption of the earth's surface, but instanta neous and widely radiated shock or vibration. 4. That the force may be developed in the form of heat as well as electricity, giving rise, in the central point, to volcanic explosion and disruption of the earth, with vibration communicated to surrounding districts. 5. That earthquakes which are due to accumulation of heat, from suppression, may occur without any special antecedent atmo spheric phenomena. That earthquakes due to elec trical discharge may, as Dr. Stukeley explained, be preceded by special atmospheric variations indicat ing disturbance between the electrical forces of the earth old of the watery vapour above; and may end in a discharge from the earth, upon its coming in contact with clouds negatively electrical, followed by a vibration instantaneously felt through a large tract of the earth's surface, but not of necessity pro ducing either breakage, v3icano, or geyser. The earthquake of Monday was probably of this last-named character.—Social Science _Review. METROPOLITAN CATTLE.

By the death of Marshal Count d'Ornano the number of marshals of France is reduced to ten, of whom six served in an inferior rank under the first Napoleon. The ten marshals now existing were created by the present Emperor. One of them is Minister of War, another Minister of the Emperor's household, six hold important commands, one is placed at the head of the Imperial Guard, and Mar shal Forey, the last promoted, is expected shortly in France from Mexico. General C9unt Schramm, now Lieutenant-Gene ral, was promoted to the rank of General of Brigade by the first Napoleon. He is the last of his generals with the exception of Count de Lagrange and the Doke de Fezensac. Among the Generals of Division in active service there exist none promoted, to that rank by the Go vernment of the Restoration, and but two—the Mar quis d'llautpoul, grand referendary of the Senate, and General Count Schramm—appointed by the Government of Louis Philippe. The other Generals of Division and of Brigade were all promoted by the present Emperor. Among the Generals on the list of the reserve are three Generals of Division —Count Lagrange, the Duke de Pezenzac, and the Duke de Mortemar t— appointed by the Government of the Restoration, and 20 by the Government of July. Among the Generals of Brigade of the second sec tion of the Staff there aro five appointed by the Go vernment of the Restoration, and 64 by the Govern ment of Louis Philippe.

They are further to inquire whither their tenants repair, especially when their absences are of fre quent occurrence, thereby arousing suspicion; and when anything occurs to excite suspicion, it is immediately to be notified to the police. "2. They are to make it their business to see that no illegal meetings and assemblages take place among the people who live upon their premises, and, if such occur, to give information thereof at once. " 3. If any such proprietor of similar establishments fail to observe the abovementioned duties, and in consequence of such default persons in any way suspicious and who have taken part in the insurrection are discovered upon his premises, or if illegal assemblages for prohibited pur poses shall have taken place, in addition to the personal punishment inflicted upon such proprietor, he will be sentenced for the first offence to a penalty of from 100 to 200 roubles, for each person thus found in his dwelling. Upon repetition of the offence, in addition to the pecuniary fine, his business shall be closed for a period varying from one month to three m onths. Upon the third offence the fine will be inflicted, the house closed, and the caution money deposited by the pro prietor be appropriated to the support of those injured by the rebellion. "4. The attention of all proprietors of houses must be fulfil all the called to the fact that they also hav e to abovementioned duti e s with refere nce to their tenants, and that, if they neglect these re gulations, and person s be found in th e i r h o uses who are either suspicious, or have taken part in the insurrection , without their givin g infer ; e mation of the same to the pol-c-s independently o f th e i r personal responsibility, they will be mulcted in a fine of from 100 to 200 roubles for every such person discovered upon their premises, and the house will be occup i e d as quarters, without payment, for from one month t o th ree months. Upon the seco nd offence, in additi on t o t h e f i ne, the period during w hich the house is to be occupied as free quarters will be doubled, the letting of the premises to be f or bidden, and t h e time during which it is to b e t a k en pos session of as free quarters extended to a year. 4c5 . proprietors of confectioners' shops, coffee-houses, taverns, restaurants, and similar places, are in duty bound also to observe the above regulations; and i n case suspicious persons show themselves, or an assemblage should take place upon their premises, at once to notify the the same to the police. In case of neglect they shall be treated in the manner ordered by Regulation 3. it 6. The above prescription shall have force imme diately after publication in the official pape r , w h erefore the propr i e tors of hotels and guest-houses , equally with t h e o wners of private dwellings, are t o be informed that, to esca pe every responsibility for themselves, they must point out to the police, at the latest within three days, all such persons as have aroused any kind of suspi c i on . Th ey a re in especial to consider it their strict duty to capture and deliver up to the police participators in the insurrec tion, pursued and soug h t by the Government. "I request your excellency to take steps for the imme diate execution of these re gulations , and to report to me at once what aro th e steps that have been taken. " General of Infantry, "MOURAVIEFF II." THE DELIGHTS OF WORD HUNTING.—There are few more instructive occupations than dictionary making; and Dr Lowden did his work honestly. None of his neighbours, in scarlet and top-boots hunted a fox with a more keen relish for the sport than this crippled old man chased the words up and down, out of one book and through another. When they broke cover from the mother tongue, he worried them out of one language into another, never suffering himself or Ralph to rest until he had run them to earth in their original roots. Then, proudly as an Ind hangs anoth er sca lp i n hi s w i gwam , h e p l ace d the word his dictionary, where he felt it must remain for ever, il d l B s . trious or ignoble accordin g t o th e p aren tage he covered for it.—Arnold's Story of lialph; or,St•e•P ukhre's and St. Stephen's. • w being made A very praiseworthy attempt is a i n r cl to establish a Court Milliner's Dress-making con tributions.

Barbarous I A REGULAR GUT.—The British Archaeologists diversi fied their proceedings at Leeds with excursions, one of which was a visit to Fernley Hall. There, according to a contem porary,—" Mr. R. H. Fawkes, received his visitors with great courtesy, and appeared to take much pleasure in. showing them his fine collection of pictures." The above quoted report goes on to mention, amongst the paintings of Mr. Fawkes, several "choice works by Guido." May we ask if they included a portrait of one of the proprietor's ancestors, executed by himself ?
