Our own day, and we suspect he belongs to a class which is never quite extinct. We meet with two papers on historical subjects; the first on that rash expedition of Charles I. and Bucking ham, which has already been the theme of so many authors; the other on the career of Nicholas Fouquet, superintendent of finances, in the early days of the " Grand Monarqne." The papers descriptive of life in Russia, and in Canada, are continued from the last number, and we have also an account of " A Trip from Belgaun to the Falls of Gokah." More attractive to the reader, however, Will be the narrative of a visit to the extreme north coast of Jutland, bearing one of the great names in Scandinavian literature—Hans Christian Andersen, and is rendered into English by that indefatigable and able Danish scholar, Mrs. Bushby. The New Monthly. A paper on the Himadu or Snowy Mountains of Africa quarrels with the speculations of recent travellers with regard to the watershed between the Nile and the Indian Ocean. The view upheld by this writer is the one which describes the Abys sinian plateau as a series of terraces rising one above the other the lowest step being in the direc tion of the Red Sea, and the highest in Inarya, which is regarded as the line of separation between the waters flowing to the Nile and to the Indian Oceata. The opposing theory maintains, on the contrary, that the summit line of the high country is towards the coast itself, and from thence it de clines to the interior. Leaving these geographical perp exities we come to the continuation of Mrs. Wood's melancholy, though powerfully written, story of "The Shadow of Ashlydyat." The wretched situation of the unfortunate Maria Godolphin, left to bear the brunt of her husband's misconduct, not alone from the world at large, but from her own injured family, is forcibly described. The universal distress occasioned in the quiet country district by the sudden collapse of the old and long-trusted bank is also vividly told. Sir Nathaniel discourses upon the merits and mis fortunes of an ancient heroine, whose name Mr. Zingeley has rescued from undeserved oblivion. It Is aypatia, whose wondrous talents, beauty, and tragical end have long since thrilled the readers of "New Foes with an Old Face." The career of Washington Irving, one of the most popular of transatlantic writers, gives the text to an agreeable paper. The story of " Granville de Vigne" pro gresses steadily, and many important events take place in this instalment. Prominent among them is the death of Sabretische's miserable wife, who has so long stood between him and his happiness. Thi s eve nt furnishes the writer with an opportunity for oneof hie favourite diatribss against the marriage law. He draws two very extraordinary and excep tional cases, and then proceeds on the assumptio❑ that they are of common every-day occurrence. It is scarcely worth while to enter upon his arguments on this subject, only if he considers the continental standard of married life so much happier in its re results than the English, such is not the general opinion. A Frenchman's description of our busy and unwieldy metropolis will probably afford some entertainment. In a sketch of the life and times of Calvin we find a vivid picture of that grim but earnest minded reformer. An article on the First Napoleon's proposed invasion of England concludes the number. Temple Bar. " John Maechmont's Legacy," by the able authoress of " Lady Audley's Secret," is continued at some length. This gifted authoress is deter mined to lose no time in her compositions, and it is to be hopes that she will not over-work herself in her multitudinous efforts. "The Strange Adven tures of Captain Dangerous" are concluded. This story is at great length, and comes to a conclusion in a satisfactory manner. " Sitting Up" is an amusing sketch, by one who employed his leisure during his dreary watch by figuring others as un fortunate as himself, till he quite forgets the hap less object of his vigil, who had to effect an en trance. " Ode to the Rain," is a new written poem in a flowing metre that is very appropriate at the present season "Towns on the Thames" is a very interesting sketch, as may be imagined from its title. A gossipping account is given of the towns of note interspersed with appropriate quotations. At last, it is said, " Enough of London's regal river, ever famous for historic memories and pleasant places of resort, es I gaze downwards where the estuary widens, I think perforce of the vast and ceaseless current of intellectual and commercial life which flows through the Thames to every nation of the earth." " The Blackburn Sewing Schools" is a most interesting article. The chronicle of the day's melancholy wandering through the famine stricken streets of Blackburn, is well worthy of consideration. In conclusion, he states one cir cumstances that speaks volumes in its narra tive. " Men and women, four abreast, marshalled by policemen, and moving slowly in, side by side, up to the point where help was rendered, they had been advancing thus for six hours, and yet these berried ranks came on an army of reluctant recipi ents," The sad description leaves off with a Worthy moral. " From every class in every scene, by every tone, by all the past months of cruel pri vation, by all the confidence of the people in the ft re and consideration of their countrymen, and by their hopeful waiting for better times, we have had °lir lesson. Let patience have its perfect work, that we may be p er f ec t and entire, wanting thing." Th ere are var i ous ot h er art i c les that o complete this number and continue to keep up its general tone and spirit. The Cornhill Magazine. " The Small Rouse at Allington" is continued at some length, and in this division we meet with some skilful touches of Crombie's portrait. The cold, selfish man of the world feels himself in his indigenous atmosphere amid the heartless life of Courcy Castle. What if he felt ashamed of himself, he still must persevere and keep up the show of caring for nothing and nob )dy out of the charmed circle of fashion. It is a painful but a probable portraiture this representation of the man away from the immediate influence of " Lily Dale," and ex posed to the fatal fascinations of his aristocratic idols. Lady Dumbello, whom every one admired, they hardly knew why, who kept a whole draw ing-room waiting dinner, while three attendants dressed her, and then sailed in in majesty, hardly deigning to look at her admirers of all kinds, is a smart sketch of a great lady, who really does no thing a human being can rightly boast of, and yet makes more stir in the world than many neglected (roes, with whom she is not worthy to be ranked in Common. The deceit practised by both sides in talking of Crosbie's engagement is very natura.ly deseribed. Each knew the other purposely de ceived, but was willi ng to aid and abet the sub terfuge. Lily Dale is an emblem of many simple maidens, whose idols have prov ed clay, and the golden days of whose youth have be en turned into dross by the fick leness and faithlessness of their lovers. Tbe Punishment of Convicts" is a v ery readable paper s and touches on a subj ec t that just mow engages public atten ti an to a great extent; some very sensible .remarks our ema on rkosavot system.riemadein the course of this analys is o The following passage is most appropriatelywopuultd, and it would be well if some in authority mark, learn, and inwardly digest it. " Some sixty or seventy thoroughly hardened professional footpads and garoti ers are enough to throw all London into e a panic, and w h en th e p u t-lie ask why this is so, they are told that p ena l serv it u d e is no t i n t en ded for gentlemen of this persuasion. It would be well to make an effort to meet their peculi ar v i ews. E ven if i t shou ld seem t oo extensive and difficult an und er t a ki ng t o d ev i se new c l ass ifications of crime and new s y stems of punishment for spec i a l cases ,and if, as there is great reason to fear, it is true that the objec tions to transportation are really conclusive,it is the greatest of all mistakes to make convicts too comfortable. To honest poverty it is the most cruel insult, to the criminals themselves it is cruel kindness, for their crimes are due in almost every case to the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eye, and the pride of life.' It would be an outrage on de cency to paint with any approach to truth the inside of the minds of prisoners. If their habitual language is the best index to them, they must contain abysses of blasphemy and filth which can hardly be imagined. Take a man of this kind, feed him well, work him lightly, iet him have plenty of sleep in a soft and warm bed, and confine him for years to the society of persons of his own class and sex, and you expose him to temptations far greater than libraries of tract s alacl armies cd chaplains can oneolulter. Monkish auto. rities had heir meaning. It was not for nothing that the monks recommended fasting and bodily austerities, and though the subject cannot well be fully discussed, no one who thinks upon it can fail to see that hard work and spare diet would be in the highest degree necessary to men in the circumstances of convicts, even if the matter of punishment were out of the question." " The Sharpshooters of the Press in England, France, and Germany," is an effective sketch, in cluding Heinrich Heine in its life delineations. The Working Man's Restaurant" suggests a plan that, if fully carried ont, would be of the greatest benefit to many, and it would be very desirable if it was brought to pass in aid of the distressed in Lancashire. "Romola" continues its lugubrious length, but does not as yet approach any satisfac tory termination to its long lists of perilous adven tures and fearful frights. This is certainly a sombre addition to the author's previous works of so stir ring a character and so animated a style. "The Inner Life of a Man of War" is an entertaining de scription of the existence carried on in that mon ster of the deep which lays its bulwarks on the brine like a leviathan afloat. " The * in the Closet" is a fanciful sketch, in w hich j ealousy passes from the sublime to the ridiculous in a novel fashion. " Rouncabout Papers" is a suggestive essay, which is readable en ou g h, and there is also met with an account of " Kinglake's Crimean War." United Service. - --- The'Unviw of navaliteedServiceand military Service" commmeilnicery expenditure.swi ththefirst part of a ‘ review This, a subject of much interest at the present time, when there is such a universal outcry about the re auction of expenditure. Our naval expenditure is considered this month, and the writer shows how the estimates for the navy must of necessity be con siderably greater in 1862 than in 1841. He says that " while the pay of officers of the higher grades has been but little altered, those of lieutenants, masters, and engineers have been slightly increased, while those of petty_ officers and seamen Seztai i considerably augmented.' This is an in - ere - rise in expenditure to which nobody can object. A gra dual rise has taken place since 1841, at which peeiod the average pay of all ranks was £36 12i. 4d. per man, while in 1862 it amounted to £l9 6s.— while the victualling has proportionally in creased during the same period. Again, the substitution of screws for paddles in steamships, the lengthening and converting of old wooden vessels, armour plating, and other necessary expenses, all tend to swell the naval expenses. He therefore advised that, until some satisfactory con clusion has been arrived at in the construction of armour clad ships, no more ought to be laid down. We opine that the true excess in the navy estimates arises from the waste in the dockyards, and for which the Board of Admiralty is responsible. Wnen such cases as that of the Active (a fine 40 gun frigate) lying for 20 years at Chatham without ever having been commissioned, and now being called into service as a training ship, and many others equally censurable, are before our eyes, it does not squire much perspicuity to see where the shoe pinches. We have a long review of " Professional Papers of the Corps of Royal Engi neers," which are highly interesting. In the por tion here noticed an account of the capture of the Taku Forts, which of course contains much engineer ing information. We are glad to find that the editor intends to continue these interesting notices of this valuable work. In an article on " Lowering Boats at Sea," the parsimony of shipowners is justly condemned in failing to provide their vessels with patent disengaging hooks—such as are used in the navy. The writer records an ex ample of this, which, although there are are but few who would avow it, and, we trust, do not know that they practice it, to a criminal extent, we fear, is but too prevalent among merchants. An extensive proprietor was asked not very long ago by a naval officer why he did not fit his boats with disengaging hooks ? The reply will strike most people with astonishment, " I don't sail my ships for humanity's sake, but for profit." Such being the case, in some instances, should not the Government enforce it. Lieut. W. Bryam (late of the Bombay Army) furnishes an attractive Sketch of Malta and the Knights Hospitallers," in which he gives a description of the fortifications and the island generally, besides entering into the history of the Knights of St. John. So many startling changes have taken place in shipbuilding, and such wonderful results obtained since, in the dock at Bristol, not twenty years ago, at the launch of the Great Britain, Brunel's masterpiece of ship building, it was stated by ;nautical teen that they considered her too long and would not like to cross the Atlantic in her, that it would be presumptuous to express any decided opinion on Captain Coles's Tripod Tubular Iron Masts. The theory may be right enough, but we doubt if the practical results will fulfil his expectations. In the article on Defensive Works, Iron Piates, &c., the writer, after some remarks on the con struction of the new Prussian forts, in which he suggests that "if the front, or exterior slope,' of the stone parapets of these citadels is covered with shot-proof iron plates, gradually rounded to meet the upper surface of the parapet, the enemy's shot will fly harmlessly over the heads of the defenders behind th€m. He makes some judicious remarks on the dress of the volunteers, in which he maintains, and old lovers of uniformity will, we think, agree with him, that it would be far bet ter, now that the volunteers have become a part of the national army, if their dress were similar at least in colour. Regarding the forts at Spithead and other localities where it is deemed expedient to erect such works in deep water he asks whether it would not be cheaper and more expeditious to err ploy iron piles placed close together rather than attempt solid granite foundations, as proposed by the Royal Com missioners' With the experience of what has been done by our civil engineers by this means when we see bridges of this description rapidly crossing the Thames and other rivers at a moderate expense and of declared strength, the answer seems otvious. A paper on Garroters, by a Military Officer, contains his military views on the subject of treat ment. There is little new in his remarks, which, however, are sensible enough. He would advise hanging, but fears that that is unconstitutional. A paper on the lonian Isles, and a tale of Green• wick characters—a tale entitled"Daouda, the War. rior Chief," and general news, completes the number. Macmillan's Magazine. The prominent feature in this number of Mac millan is a very interesting account of a visit to Lutzen by Herman Merivale. l'his memorable spot naturally calls up memories of the hero who closed his career on its battlefield, and of the terrible Thirty Years' War in which he was so prominent an actor. Accordingly the paper before us is princi pally devoted to the life and character of Gustavus Adolphus, whom the writer describes as " one of the few in whom nobleness of heart and purpose, and pre-eminence of genius were so fused to gether as to constitute the tru e c h arac t er of the hero." A professor of political economy gives us his views on the wealth of nations and the slave Fewer• and arrives at the conclusion that the estab lishment of a Times must b e °oleo:what England has m os t t o f ear . of the Atlantic, we eheorualbdiY changed on both sides South ern States is military Republic in the separatiorth iimagine, before England c onseque a n z e ou o g f any American friends. We meet also Natimai Systems of Bodily well quaiifitd to judge; a lengthenedy eorir i ticism of Dr. San ley's " Lectures," and a pleasant narrative of an elcusion from Athos to Salonica, which at a time when public attention is turned to wards Greece is not, without interest. The story of " Vincenzo, or Sunken Rocks," by the able author of " Lorenzo Benoni," is continued ; and the Rev. Mr. Kingsley's quaint and singular tale of the "Water Babies" is also proceedel with. The St. James's Magazine. The author of " Whitefriars" continues the story of Madeleine Graham with her accustomed anima tion. The lovers of fiction will also find a tale bearing the attractive titl e of `` A. Midnight Mar riage," and the account of some successful sharp Practice in 1 ,4 sketch called " Secrets of My Office THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, FEBRUARY 2, 1863. A paper ( ntitled " Royal Favourites," appa rently the first of a series, narrates the adventures of Agnes Sorel and Diana of Poictiers. Readers desirous of studying Mexican affairs will have plenty of opportunity for doing so, for we have a lengthened article on Baron de Bazancourt's recent work, and also a tale of Mexican life, entitled " The Disinherited." " A Revolutionary Breakfast" gives an entertaining account of a gathering of the most eminent radicals, Bardett, Horne Tooke, Jeremy Bentham, and their associates, being suddenly disturbed by the en trance of Pitt, while they are all also exclaiming " Death to the Minister !" There are several verses of no great merit, and two papers of some interest on Physical Training, and on the great composer Beethoven. Good Words. A religious periodical is generally supposed to be professedly dull, but certainly the editor of " Good Words " contrives to avoid this common difficulty in a marvellous way. Although not quite equal to the January number, which merited its extraor dinary circulation, the part before us supplies us with plenty of attractive reading. We have the continuation of Dr. Guthrie's discourses on the Para bles, and of Dr. Caird's "Essays for Sunday Read ing ;" also a very excellent paper on " The Divinity of Work," addressed to Working Men, by the Rev. C. Vaughan, D.D. Canon Stanley commences a series of essays, analysing the "Songs of Israel," and takes first for consideration David's Lament over Saul and Jonathan. The scientific portion is well worth attention, for we meet with a History of Earthquakes and Volcanoes from the pen of Sir John Herschel, and an account of some experiments made with the trophy telescope of the first Exhibition, by the Scottish lAstronomer Royal. Mr. Ludlow, contributes some interesting details of the female diaconate in the early church, Professor Lee describes a summer passed in Nice, and Mr. Fyfe gives us some thoughts on Crime and Criminals. For lighter reading we have the second instalment of the Editor's " Reminiscences of a Highland Parish," and a pleasant story concerning " Peter Barends, a man who gained by losing." London Society. The " Society " we meet under the pretty cover of this lively serial is never tedious company, and the portion now introduced to us is more entertain ing than usual. " About Valentines "is the title of the opening paper, a title full of fascination for romantic maidens. Then we have a meditation in " Rotten Row," a dissertation on the domestic philo sophy of servants and mistresses, an article devoted to that interesting hero the London Ruffian, and a pleasant discourse about Hastings and St. Leonards. Another of our southern watering places supplies a subject for a paper and an illustration entitled " Observations at Brighton : Hats and Faces." The vagaries of fashionable headgear in the gay Sussex town are amusingly sketched both with pen and pencil. The story of " The Tenant of the Chintz Chamber" is continued, and there are plenty of lively verses and charming illustrations scattered among the rest of the contents. With regard to the latter, we must except the woodcut representing "The decision of the flower," which is decidedly very far from the usual standard of " London Society." COUNT MONTALEMBERT. Count Montalembert has addressed the following letter to the director of the Journal des Debats : " January 29. " Sir—ln your number of yesterday, after many days' silence, you declare that it is impossible for you to insert my reply to MM. Rendu and Guny, whom you permitted to maintain in face of your readers, that I was the chief author of the Pope's misfortunes. I confess I found some difficulty in comprehending what prevented you from giving some space to a man who merely desired to prove that three phrases pronounced by him in 1849 did not gain the battle of Solferino, sign the treaty of Villafranca, cover the hills of Castelfidardo with blood, and bombard Gaeta. I would have particularly desired th4t the pub lic should immediately know that the existing regime on the press did not leave me the liberty necessary to reply to M. Rendu. You have certainly no need of my authorisation to demonstrate once more that we do not possess that liberty as in Eng land (of which the Emperor has made so fine an eulogium), nor even liberty as in Austria, where the law on the press has suppressed warnings to jour nals. However that may be, you announce that your refusal of insertion arises from your situation, and not from your intention. I must only bow before this reason, and leave M. Rendu master on a ground where he alone is free, and thank you for having clearly explained our situation to all three—the difficulty of yours, the hardship of mine, an.l the facilities of his. "Cu. DE MONTALEMBERT." BANK RETURNS. The Bankers' Magazine furnishes the returns of the cir culation of the Private and Joint-Stock Banks in England and Wales for the four weeks ending Dec. 13. These returns, combined with the circulation of the Scotch and Irish Banks for the same period, and the average circula tion of the Bank of England for the four weeks ending the 10th Dec. (the nearest date furnished by their returns), will give the following results of the circulation of notes in the United Kingdom, when compared with the previous month : Nov. 15, Dec. 13, 1862. 1862.

MONEY FEARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. The money market is a little easier, although the rates have not undergone any material alteration. The Omar Pasha has been announced to-day from Australia with £90,000 in gold. The West India steamer, Ls Plata, which left to-day, conveyed £3,000 in specie. A remittance of £1,869 lls. 9d. has been received by Messrs. Baring Brothers and Co. on account of the New Grenada dividends. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week represent that business in some respects has been more satisfactory. At Manchester, however, there has been little or no improvement, and prices of both stocks and yarns have slightly given way. The woollen trade of Leeds, Bradford, Halifax, and Huddersfield has been seasonably active, and a more buoyant tone has prevailed in the hosiery and lace departments at Leicester and Not tingham. In the hardware districts, viz., at Bir mitigham. Sheffield, and Wolverhampton, there has been little change of importance. The Factage Parisien—Paris General Parcels Post and Internation a l C arry i ng C om p an y—ha s been formed for the p ur p ose o f supp l y i ng France with greater facilities th an s h e now possesses f or the delivery of goods, &c. Th e great a dditi on t o th e traffic of the two countries consequent on the recent commercial treaty renders some better accommodation necessary, more particularly when it is taken into account that the French capital possessed none of those facilities which England obtains from the Parcels Delivery Company, and the private firms, such as Pickford, Chaplin, &c. Negotiations are stated to be in pro gress between many of the principal English and French iiailways for the transit of their goods, besides which a valuable concession has been granted to the company by the Prefet and the municipality of Paris—privileges indispensable for conducting the local trade, and invaluable for the international traffic. The internal trade of the empire will, it is thought, yield a considerable revenue, but with the addition to the general trade that must inevitably ensue from the many foreign treaties France has lately made, a much larger field of enterprise is open to the com pany. The capital of the undertaking is fixed at £200,000, in 10,000 shares of £2O each. The direction comprises some of the most highly respect able names in both countries, and among them is M. E. Fercade, who is well and honourably ;known as a writer on finance and international trade. The half-yearly meeting of the English, Scottish, and Australian Chartered Bank took place to-day. Mr. Stephen P. Kennard presiding. The report presented to the shareholders gave the balance of profit on the transactions of the past six months at £23,261 is. Bd., which the directors recommended to be appropriated as follows:—£15,000 for dividend at the rate of six per cent. per annum ; £l,OOO towards reducing premises and furniture account ; £3,080 to be written off preliminary ex penses, and the remainder added to the reserve fund, which will then amount to £15,413 9s. The report was adopted. Two O'CLOCK. The Liverpool cottoti market to-day opened quiet, but steady ; sales about 5,000 bales. The Three per Cent. Rentes opened to-day, at Paris, at 69f. 75e., being Yc. lower than on Satur day. The Market for the English Funds remains in a very quiescent state. Attention is directed to the approaching settlement, and in the meantime speculation is very much curtailed. Consols, how ever, are 924 : for money and the sth inst., and 92: I for the March account.

The continued improvement in the Greek Bonds has been the most prominent feature in the Foreign Market, the latest price being 20 1 ; and the Coupons, BQ. Spanish Passive have risen to 27 I, and the Certificates to 10f. Most of the other securities are firm. The dealings in the Railway Share Market have been limited, but prices have generally shown an upward tendency. Lancashire and Yorkshire and North Eastern (Berwick), improved 55.; Great Northern and Great Western 10s.; Great Eastern, South Eastern, and Metropolitan, 155.; and Lon don, Chatham, and Dover, £l. In the Foreign and Colonial undertakings there was no material variation as regards prices.

The address, which was adopted, gave credit to the " missioners" for having "rescued many from the abyss of sin and placed them on the road to heaven; for having planted the love of God and man in their hearts, and thereby reconciled them to the Omnipotent." On the departure of the " missioners" the whole population seemed to turn out to bid them fare well ; many were in tears, and some w ere so w i ld in their en th us iasm that they insisted on drawi ng the omnibus to the railway station. Some adve nturous youths cl ung t o th e carriages when the train moved o ff. T he Re demptorist Fathers have visited most of the town. in Ire kind. Their chief, the Rev.

MR. C. DICKENS'S READINGS IN PARIS.—Mr. Dickens gave his second reading on Thursday and Friday, for the joint benefit of the British Charitable Fund in Paris and the distressed operatives of Lancashire. The selections were from "Dombey and Son," and the trial scene in " Pickwick." On Friday evening Mr. Dickens read passages from his " Christmas Carol," with as great, if not more, success than his " Little Dombey." On each of the three occasions the room, the largest it is sail in the Embassy, was full; and the result : no doubt profitable to the excellent object for which Mr. Dickens has given the gratuitous aid of his incomparable talent both as a writer a m i ra. where eekreen hiss h would give anoth er and a reader. Among the audience each night were French av e sil ent, m t e h n e t , a n l and Americana , as well as English, and the admiration of and before all . three was expressed with the same earnestness. One wish, too, they all seemed to join in, and this was that, as city is empty;' s of a a s u r d e i n to d r e y re w d o s u o ld gr b e e at s t a ill m service ore n t u o m t British h er e ous.

MARK-LANE The country markets, held on Saturday, were very scantily supplied with wheat, which moved off slowly, at about atm: onary prices. Most kinds of barley changed hands to a fair extent, at previous rates. All other descrip tions of produce were very inactive. No change of importance has taken place in the value of wheat on the Continent. In America, both grain and flour have continued to advance in price. Very small supplies, of English grain wore received up to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 14,799 quarters of wheat ; 13,303 barley ; 1,407 oats; 6,125 beans; 160 peas; 343 tares; 12,528 lin seed; 2,233 rapeseed; 100 maize; 75 sundry seeds; 920 sacks and 8,728 barrels of flour. A very moderate supply of English wheat was received fresh up to this morning's market, in poor condition. Dry samples moved off steadily, and last Monday's quotations were well supported. Damp qualities, however, were very dull, and the greater portion of the supply remained unsold at the close of business. The show of samples of foreign wheat was tolerably ex tensive. It consisted, for the most part, of Egyptian, Russian : and American produce. In all descriptions, sales progressed slowly; nevertheless, compared with this day se'nnight, prices exhibited no quotable change. Floating cargoes of grain were in fair average request, and the currencies ruled firm. Malting barly was scarce, and the trade ruled very firm at extreme rates ; grinding and distilling qualities, how ever, moved off slowly, yet their value was supported. The malt trade was dull, and where sales were made rather lower prices were accepted. The supply of oats, both English and foreign, was very small. Sweet samples were scarce, and 6d. per quarter dearer than on Monday last. In the value of inferior pro duce no change took place, but the demand ruled far from active. Beans met with a slow sale, on former terms. The sup ply on offer was moderate. Peas were in fair supply and slow request, at late rates. All descriptions of flour moved off slowly, yet prices ruled firm.

There was a full average supply of foreign stock on sale here to-day for the time of year. The demand ruled steady, at about stationary prices. The receipts of beasts fresh up from our own grazing dis tricts were only moderate, but their general quality was good. From Scotland a fair average number came fresh to hand; but, from Ireland the arrivals were trifling. Owing to the large quantities of dead meat on offer in Newgate and Leadenhall markets, the beef trade was far from active ; nevertheless, last Monday's prices were well supported. The primest Scots and crosses sold at 4s. 10d. per Sibs. The Scotch supplies were very good, but those from Ireland were inferior. Per Mb. to s the offal. s. d. s. d.

THE DIJKF. OF NY ELLINGTON'S OPINION OF NAPOLEON 1.---It is very true that I have often said that I considered Napoleon's presence in the field to be equal to 40,000 men in the balance. This is a very loose way of talking ; but the idea is a very different one from that of his presence at a battle being equal to a reinforcement of 40,000 men. I'll explain my meaning. 1. Napoleon was a grand homme de guerre, possibly the greatest that ever ap peared at the head of a French army. 2. He was the sove reign of the country as well as the military chief of the army. That country was constituted upon a military basis. All its institutions were framed for the purpose of forming and maintaining its armies with a view to conquest. All the offices and rewards of the state were reserve d in the first instance for the army. An officer, even a p rivate soldier, of the army might look to the sovereigntyof a kingdom as the reward for his services. It is o bvious that the presen ce o f the sovereign with an ar m y so constituted must greatly excite their exertions. 3. It was quite certain that all th e resources of the Fre nch state, civil, political, financial , as well as military , wore turned towards t he seat of the opera tions which Napoleo n hims elf should direct, 4. E very sove reign i n command of an army enjoys a d van t ages aga i ns t h i m who exercises only a delegated power, and who acts un der orders and resp ons ibi lities. But Napoleon ' enjoyed more advantages of this description than any other sove reign that ever appeared. His presence, as stated by me more than once, was likely not only to give to the French army all the advantages above detailed, but to put an end to all jealousies of the French marshals, and their counter action of each other, whether founded upon bad principles and passions, or their fair differences of opinion. The French army thus had a unity of action. These four con siderations induced me to say generally, that his presence ought to be considered as 40,000 men in the scale. But the idea is obviously very loose, as must be seen by a moment's reflection. If the two armies opposed to each other were 40,000 men on each side, his presence could not be equal to a reinforcement of 40,000 men on the side of the French army,—nor even if they were 60,000 ',men on each side, or possibly even 80,000 men on each side. It is clear, however, that whe rever he went he carried with him an obvious advantage. I don't think that I ought to be quoted as calling that advantage as equal to a reinforcement of 40,000 men under all possible circumstances.—Lord Stanhope's Aftseellantes.
