fire was seen to the right of the first•named place, which appeared to extend itself quickly ; at the same moment a shell from the Valorous passed through the roof of the fortress, where it exploded, upon which Captain Hall threw out the signal Bravely done, Valorous,' which was answered with a hurrah, "At 1 o'clock a.m. on the 22d the British ceased firing, weighed anchor, and passed through the southern Mane on their return. One man on board the liecla and two on board the Odin were slightly wounded, but none killed. Each of the vessels was hit several times by the shots of the enemy, one of which went through the paddlebox of the Hecht. Another report mentions four wounded, and that seven shots had hit the Hecla ; and that all the magazines in Bomarsund had been burnt down. Captain Hall received on the 22d an order to join Admiral Napier, from which circumstance some decisive operation is supposed to be contemplated. A fisherman who had managed to escape from the Aland isles to the Faro Sound Shears, stated that on the 21st he had heard a cannonade in the direction of Baro Sound, and seen a conflagera,tion on the Finnish coast." "COPENHAGEN, June 30.—The new English steam gunboat Locust, of 3 guns, Lieutenant Day, that ar rived from England and took in coals in the Bay of Kioge, started yesterday again for the fleet." ADRIANOPLE. Since the 12th (says a letter from Adrianople of the 19th June) French troops have continued to arrive. On the 14th a regiment of African rifle men and two battalions of the 50th cf the line arrived, with six pieces of artillery and 42 ammu nition waggons ; and on the 16th, two regiments of Zouaves and the 6th of the line made their ap pearance, with 12 pieces of artillery and 16 ammu nition waggons. The military bearing and admi rable appearance of these troops made a deep im pression upon the Mahonaedan Christian popula tion, who hastened to view them. Rustem Pacha, together with Generals Bosquet and d'Allonville, with a detachment of chasseurs and a squadron of Ottoman lancers, went out to meet them. The French camp is situated in the island formed by the two branches of the river Toundja, in a most beautiful position, and sheltered by the trees. The infantry are all under canvas there, and the park of artillery is stationed close beside them ; whilst the cavalry are encamped at the other side of the river. All the provisions are landed at Enos, and brought up the river in boats. 10,000 oxen are expected there from Algiers. Letters from Schumla up to the 16th, announce that the Turks still hold their ground, and that the Russians had not even succeeded in making them selves masters of the Arab Tabia fort. Sadik Pacha had succeeded in entering Silistria with 4,000 men, so that the garrison of that place is now 20,000 strong. The Turks have crossed the Danube at Rustchuk to attack Giurgevo. In two or three days General Bosquet, command ing the 2d division of the French expeditionary force in the East, will commence the march to Bourgas on the Black Sea, with the Chasseurs d'Afrique. The rest of his division will follow in detachments. lONIAN ISLANDS. Some lonians resident at Constantinople having applied to the British Ambassador in that capital for information as to whether the lonian flag would be considered as a neutral one during the war with Russia, received a negative reply, but they were at the same time informed that the question should be submitted to the Government. The opinion of the law officers of the Crown having since con firmed the view taken by Lord Stratford de Red cliffe, the President of the Senate of the lonian Islands has issued a proclamation informing the inhabitants that the lonian flag would not be con sidered as neutral, and that they must discontinue their commercial relations with Russia. NORWAY. A committee of the Storthing of Norway, charged to take into consideration a proposition for the re establishment of trial by jury in criminal matters, reported in a recent sitting in favour of the prin ciple, but represented that it could not be adopted until arrangements should be made for having oral trials—which at present only take place before the Supreme Court of Justice. The committee accord ingly recommended that an address should be sent to the King praying him to cause to be presented in the next session a bill for establishing both trial by juries and oral trials. This recommendation was received with approbation by the Storthing. THE CREW OF THE TIGER. It is but common justice, says a letter from Vienna, to call public attention to the humane and generous conduct of the Russian Government, or, in more distinct words, of the Emperor, to the officers and crew of the unfortunate Tiger. The first lieutenant of that vessel has arrived at St. Petersburg on his way home, and it is understood that the whole of the remaining officers and men, who have been sent to Moscow and other places, will also be liberated on exchange. The lieutenant had the honour of being admitted to interviews with the Emperor, the Grand Duke Constantine, and the Minister of Marine, and had every reason to speak in terms of thankfulness of the treatment accorded to himself and to his companions iu mis fortune. The Emperor's conduct to our brave countrymen is, it must be repeated, fully worthy of unfeigned gratitude and of his exalted position. Re has shown an example that will doubtless be cordially imitated by our Government, and all under their orders, whenever the hazards of war throw Russian prisoners into our hands. GREECE. ATHENS, JUNE 26.—The dismissal of Secretary Wendling has been redemanded, but refused. A commission of investigation is established. Spiro Milos is a(rrested. PATEAS, June 28.—Austrian, French, and Eng lish ships are cruising in Greek waters. PREvESA, June 25. Epirus is quiet. Fuad Effendi has gone to Tricala, in Thessaly. According to a letter from Janina, dated June 20, Fuad Effendi left Metzovo on the 15th, in tending to enter Thessaly. He arrived on the 18th within a league of Kalabaka, with the corps of Osman Pasha, composed of 2,000 regulars and 1,000 Arnauts. He effected his march without striking a blow. As the Ottoman troops ad vanced, the Greeks fell back upon their centre. These details are completed by accounts which we have received from Larissa. On the 18th of June the Turkish troops attacked the Hellenic volunteers commanded by Hadji- Petros. After a conflict of three hours the Greeks , v ere completely beaten. There bad been a considerable number killed and wounded, and their guns and baggage were captured. The Greeks took flight, some towards Agrapha, and the rest in the direction of Olympus. A letter from Corfu, dated June 24, says :—Her Britannic Majesty's frigate Diamond left to-day for the Black Sea. There only remains at the Corfu station the corvette Modeste, of 18 guns. The Prometheus is about to leave the Gulf of Aria on a tour of observation in the ports of Albania. INSURRECTION IN SPAIN. CRITICAL POSITION OF THE QUEEN AND HER GOVERNMENT. The Moniteur of to-day announces that, accord ing to a telegraphic despatch from Madrid, dated six p.m., of the 3d, the city was tranquil ; that reinforcements were expected from the provinces ; that the insurgents were close to Aranjuez ; and that the intelligence from the other parts of Spain was satisfactory. Intelligence from Madrid to the 30th ult. states that the town was much agitated. The insurgents, to the number of 4,000 men, were at the Campo del Moro, at about a gunshot from the Palace. General Campuzano, Director of the Artillery, had refused to attack them, although protesting his fidelity to the Queen. General Lara had also refused, on the pretext that he could not rely on the garrison. General O'Donnell was said to have summoned the Queen to change her Ministry. Unless she did so he threatened to attack the town on the same evening. Subsequent advices to the 2d inst. state that Madrid is covered with barricades. The populace cried out " Death to Sartorius." It was said that a part of the garrison had fraternised with the insurgents. The abdication of the Queen was under discus sion, and the formation of a Regency, of which Narvaez should be a member. On the other hand, the Patrie declares that the news received by telegraph from Spain continues to be favourable to the Government, and that the insurgents, after having been defeated, have marched upon Toledo. The Gazette, of the 30th, contains the following decree : " MINISTRY OF WAR-ROYAL DECREE. "The desertion committed in February last by Lieut.- General Don Leopoldo O'Donnell. Count de Lucena, caused my royal decision of the 14th of the same month, by which he walk struck out of the list of Generals of the Spanish army. The indications of his crime of conspi racy against the State, which were then very strong, are now a fait accompli, and General O'Donnell by yesterday placing himself in open rebellion, proved his disloyalty and him perfidy. It is painful to my heart to see repeated these sad examples, and also the chastisement of generals, whom I raised to the bead of the army to guide it in the path of honour, and not in that of military seditions ; but the re petition of such acts and the infamy they produce must find justice more inexorable. I therefore order that Don Leopoldo O'Donnell, Count de Lucena, shall be deprived of all his employments, honours, titles, and decorations, without prejudice to hie being tried in con formity with the laws, if necessary. Given at the Palace, the 29th June. "THE QUEEN. "Arranuto BLASER, Minister of War." The Gazette also contains decrees of the same date which deprive Generals Felix Maria de Messina and Ros de O]aio of their grades, honours, and decorations. Other decrees promote two officers, one of the civil guard, the other of the regiment of Estramadura, fur having resisted the rebels. FRANCE. The preparations for the departure of the Em press for the baths of Biaritz are going on with activity. The Imperial yacht the Reine Hortense is already at Cherbourg, where the Empress will embark for Bayonne. The yacht will remain at Bayonne during the stay of the Empress at the sea side. His Excellency Yelp Pacha, the Turkish am bassador, had the honour of an interview with the Emperor, on Monday, at St. Cloud, and pre sented to his Majesty Moustapha Bey and Omer Bey, brother and nephew of Omer Pacha, and M. Marinovitch, a Servian functionary. After quitting Baro Sound on the 22d, the com bined squadrons of the Baltic, says the Moniteur, anchored on the 24th at the island of Seskaer, 10 leagues from Cronstadt ; they were preparing to go and make a reconnaissance of that fortress. We make the following extracts from the Moni. teur of yesterday : " The Minister of Marine and the Colonies has received from Baro Sound a report, dated June 27, from the Commander of the Breslau, announcing that this vessel, which left Kiel, on the 19th of June, had arrived at Baro Sound i n fi ve d ays on l y, i n sp i te o f the fogs. "The Breslau had been joined at that anchorage by the Anglo-French division commanded by Rear-Admiral Corry, and the major part of the naval force, which since the 22d of June had been despatched to the extremity of the Gulf of Finland, under the orders of Admirals Parse val and Napier, was expected. " The report of Commander Bosse terminates thus Our sanitary state is excellent. The smallpox, which had manifested itself on board the Breslau, has entirely disappeared. The crew is extremely well-disposed, and I have 90 good guns, for which I will answer.'" The Princess de la Moskowa, widow of the unfor tunate Marshal Ney, died on Tuesday, in Paris, at an advanced age, and after a long illness. The Duchess of Plaisance, widow of General Lebrun, has also died lately, at a residence which she occu pied for some years in the neighbourhood of Athens. She was the daughter of the . Marquis de Barb& Marbois, who was transported to Sinnamary in 1797, and who had been Keeper of the Seals and President of the Cour des Comptes. Her husband was the son of Prince Lebrun, Duke de Plaisance, one of the three consuls of the 18 Brumaire, and afterwards Arch-Chancellor of the Empire. A telegraphic despatch received yesterday from Marseilles announces that the Henry IV. had put to sea, having on board General Levaillant, Commander of the sth division, two colonels, and detachments of different corps of the army of the East.

AMERICA. (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAP ff.) ARRIVAL OF THE PACIFIC. LIVERPOOL, Wednesday Morning, 5.30 ai m.— The Pacific has arrived, with advices from New York to the 24th ult., and $430,891 on freight. The President had nominated General W. 0. Butler Governor of Nebraska, and Mr. A. H. Reeder Governor of Kansas. The report of Mr. Churchwell having drawn a pistol on Mr. Collum, in the House of Representa tives, had been contradicted. A bill had been introduced into the House of Representatives for estal fishing a higher grade of officers in the navy, and reforming it generally. The Union, from Southampton, had arrived at New York, and the Canada, from Liverpool, had arrived at Boston. In the Senate, the Conimittee on Commerce had been unable to decide as to the expediency of aid ing the projected canal round the falls of Niagara. The bill re-organising the naval service had been passed by a majority of 24 to 11. Mr. Seward had reported a bill for the formation of a line of steam-ships between California and Shanghai, cal ing at the sandwich Islands and Japan. The Committee of Ways and Means had reported a bill appropriating $10,000,000 for effecting the stipulation of the Gadsden Treaty. Proposals for the loan of $1,000,000 had been made by the Commissioners of the Canal Fund, when over $6,000,000 had been offered. The loan was awarded to 18 bidders, at 18 per cent prem. The North Star had arrived at New York, with dates to California to the Ist June, and $355,000 in gold dust. The French Consul had been tried for violating the Neutrality Laws and released from his bonds. The Mexican Consul, implicated in the same affair, had also been discharged. Property had been destroyed by fire at Marys ville, to the extent of 175,000 dols., and also at San Francisco to 34,000 dols. From the mines the accounts were very flat tering. Rich deposits had been discovered, and fortunes were made in a week. Busi l n la e d sswas been committed improving in by San meansFrancisco.of beries chloroform with success. True bills had been found against the President Secretary of War of the Republic of Sonora. Acapulco was reported to be blockaded by one Mexican war vessel, and that Alvarez had posses sion of the city. The Canadian Parliament had been prorogued amid great confusion. A proclamation dissolving the House was to have b een i ssue d on th e 24 t h. ° The elections were to be over, and writs returned by the 9th of August. The Catholic priest had been charged at Cincin nati with violating a young girl, and bound over in the sum of 2,000 dols. to answer the charge. Money was active, and loans on call were made at 7 per cent. We quote—London, 1081 to 1091 ; Paris, 5 111 to 5 13i ; Amsterdam, 411 to 44- ; Hamburg, 361 to 37 ; Bremen, 79 to 79i ; Frank fort, 414 to 41g. Cotton was firmer, but had not advanced in price. Flour was again lower ; freights were higher, and vessels scarce. NEWSPAPERS.—Yesterday a return, procured by Sir John Shelley, was issued, showing the titles, names, and addresses of the publishers, the weight and date of re gistration of every registered newspaper whereof a por tion is stated to be published without stamps. The number in England is 106, in Scotland 23, and in Ire land 7—making a total of 136. Of the papers in Lon don 34 are published monthly, and not liable to duty, and 25 in the country, and exempted for the same reason. THE RANK.—An opinion was strongly circulated that, owing to the large increase in their stock of bullion, the easier state of the money-market, the steady condition of the foreign exchanges, and the approaching pay ment of the dividends on Saturday next, the Bank of England contemplate an immediate reduction in their rate of discount. Various heavy calls, however, are falling due, among which are the 1,000,0001. of India railway debentures on the 10th inst., as well as 25 per cent. on the last 2,000,0001. of Exchequer-bonds to day, and some persons consider that these, toge ther with a desire to wait until the prospects of the harvest shall have become still more certain, will induce at all events a slight delay. FIRE OFF PEMBROKE ROYAL D CKYARD.—PEN• BROKE YARD, JULY 3.—Early this morning the muster bell was continuously rung some time, in consequence of a fire discovered on board a large barque off the dock yard, discharging a cargo of timber for the establishment, from N! oulinein ; and, although many of the workmen quickly assembled, yet the distant residence of so many belonging to the establishment, contrary to the express regulations of the Admiralty, was severely felt. It ap pears that some Lascars, on board, suffering from the inclemency of the weather (it is intensely cold and wet), bad kindled a fire and went to sleep, without thoroughly' extinguishing it. A dense smoke was discovered, and the alarm immediately given ; the flames, however, had burst up and were communicating with the rigging be fore they were effectually suppressed. Captain Smart, the new superintendent, was quickly on the spot, as well as the master shipwright and other officers, anti every thing was soon made safe. Had it been dry weather, instead of so excessively wet as it is, the results might have been most disastrous. The master of the vessel, without any other clothes on than his shirt, continued u , ieg the greatest exertions until the fire was completely extinguished. As is the general custom, the crew had all been dischartied on the termination of the voyage, and there were only two or three coloured men on board besides the captain. , THE PENINSULAR MAILS.--The Pen insular and Orien tal Company's steam-packet Madrid, Captain George Bradshaw, Lieut.

Green's Estate Bill, Oxford Poor Rate Bill, and Wyndham's Estate Bill, were read a third time and passed. The West London and Crystal Palace Railway (Amal gamation, Sale, or Lease) Bill was considered and or dered to be read a third time. PETITIONS.

DUKE, from several city pa rishes, against .the Church Building Act Amendment Bill ; Mr. FOSTER, from a place in Staffordshire, against the Poor Law Continuance Bill. REAL ESTATES CHARGES BILL. This bill was passed through committee. CHURCH TEMPORALITIES, &c., IRELAND. The adjourned debate on the Church Temporalities, &c., Ireland, was then resumed by Sir J. YOUNG, who regretted that this subject had again been brought into the Parliamentary arena after so many concessions had been made upon it in the past. The hon. and learned gentleman, disregarding the feel ings of the vast majority of the people in favour of the Established Church, was anxious to bring in a bill which would make a sweeping alteration in the position occu pied by the Irish clergy ; but he was quite confident the house would not countenance the attempt. But sup posing the house gave .permission to bring in the bill, the plan that it embodied would be found impracticable, and he would therefore suggest to the hon. and learned gentleman whether he had not better withdraw his motion.

Published by Thomas Agnew and Sons, Manchester. It would not be extravagantto designate this im portant work, a work containing the most remark able specimens of lithography that we can remem ber to have ever fallen under our observation. We do so—and that, moreover, with all emphasis and deliberation. We do so in justice to M. Gauci, in justice to the Messrs. Agnew, and with refe rence to Mr. Pyne in a spirit of cordial and un affected congratulation. It is something to have had such scenery as the Lake Scenery of England delineated by the hand of an artist such as Pyne— in a series of brilliant and masterly water-colour drawings. It is something to have had paintings like those lithographed as they have been litho graphed by W. Gauci, so successfully, and some of them, we can say, so very marvell ously. Remembering still the gratification derived by us from more than one examination of the original pictures at the time when the collection was on view, a season or two back, at the gallery of the Messrs. Graves' establishment, hard by the Opera Colonnade—it is with peculiar plea sure that we recognise in this series of plates the fulfilment of what was then merely a projected en terprise —an enterprise which has now, however, nearly reached the p er i o d o f i ts complet i on, and that with a success on the part of the lithographer, and we may add of the printer, too, which could scarcely have been reasonably anticipated. It would appear ridiculous, of course, in reviewing a literary production, to take note, in the criti c i sm, o f t h e tex ture of the paper upon which the book is printed, of the various dimensions of the volume in length, breadth, and thickness, or of its weight, binding and all, say in ounces avoirdupois. Not so, how ever, in regard to same notices in reference to cer tain matters of Art. In allusion, for example, to lithography—the subject here immediately brought under consideration—the size of a plate is of no trivial or very subordinate consideration. In viewing the mere mechanical part of the art of lithography, it becomes a source of interest, and a matter of curiosity to observe the scope afforded to the skill of the artist_by the largeness or smallness of the calcareous atones, adapted to his purpose, procurable, let us suppose from our insular quarries at Corston, in Somersetshire, or from more remote ones, such as the famous Bavarian quarries at Solenhofen, near Pappenheim. It is obviously allowable, therefore, to comment, en passant, upon the peculiarly ample scope afforded to the dexter ous ability of M. Gauci, in copying on stones of such singular amplitude in their dimensions, the exquisite scenes depicted in water colours by the pencil of Mr. Pyne—the wonderfully diversified and exquisitely picturesque Lake Scenery of Eng land. To the mere size of the impression th us produced, we believe that we are indebted for much of the vraisemblance. For which reason, therefore, we are fain to regard the otherwise subordinate merit as especially deserving of remark, and par ticulary entitled to this passing but direct notifica tion. As well overlook the importance of the dimensions of the slab placed under the hands of the lithographer, as that of the drawing in red crayon, or as that of th e et c hi ng w ith n it r i c acid— as any stage in the whole elaborate and ingenious process, in fact, from the polishing of the surface of the stone, to its final passage under the printer's cylinder. Not without some commendatory re ference, therefore, to the scale upon which these lithographic plates have been produced, may we direct attention in befitting terms of eulogiurn to the enterprise displayed by the publishers, the skill evidenced by the engrav er , an d th e gen i us revealed by the painter in the delineation of some of the most exquisitely b eau tif u l o f our i nsular landscapes. Hitherto, no work at all commensurate in cha racter, no illustrative publication a t once p i ctor i al and descriptive, has celebrated in a manner worthy of the scenery, by a consecutive series of engravings, accompanied by appropriate letterpress, the lovely localities renowned among the ninny celebrated and picturesque portions of our island as the Lake District—the woods, and lakes, and hills, and dells of the contiguous counties of Lancaster, Cumber land, and Westmoreland. Detached nooks, here and there, have been depicted, it is true, by the pen, and the brush, and the p ncil. Scarcely one among the more prominent features in the land scape but has been commemorated as "a thing of beauty," and therefore as " a joy for ever" in immortal verse. The whole country side has been described by guide-books in abundance. But a work of the nature above indicated has never until now made its appearance—a work portraying the Lake District, in a way not altogether unworthy of the theme at last selected for artistic treatment through systematic and elaborate delineation. "It was not," says the Introduction, " until the pro prietors had induced a painter, every way qualified for the task, to co-operate, con amore, in the pro duction of such a work, that they decided on attempting to supply the desideratum." The distinguished genius of Mr. Pyne as one of the first among the great living colour-poets of England, aided, as it has fortunately been, by the practised ability of M. Gauci as a lithographer, has at length enabled the publishers and proprie tors of this very noble serial to carry out to a suc cessful issue their undoubtedly bold and really na tional undertaking. The interest of the localities here illustrated cannot be questioned by any one who has turned over the pages of even the most superficial hand-book descriptive of these classic portions of Cumberland, Westmoreland, and Lan ' cashire. For it cannot be forgotten, either by the student or the traveller, much less by those who can lay claim at once to both characters—it cannot be forgotten that it was among these " pleasant places" and " sweet solitudes" that retired not only " the noble-minded Arnold, the paradoxical Haz litt, and the speculative De Quincey," not only artists as illustrious as the " graceful but neglected" Romney, and as Hogarth, our glorious satirist of the easel, but that here it was that Words worth found a home at Rydal Mount, and Shelley at Ambleside, and Wilson at Elleray, and Coleridge at Grasmere, and Southey at Keswick, and Mrs. Hemans at Dovesnest. Memories, each of sufficient interest, but together fraught with irresistible fascination. Accompanied by memories like these, we follow the painter with his attendant lithographer, with rapt attention, through scene after scene of pictorial enchantment. Now, watching the " play of light" over Skiddaw, asking— " What was the great Parnassus' self to thee, Mount Skidilaw, in thy natur a l sovere i gn t y ?" Now pausing successively before tho woods, and wilds, and waters of Enuerdale, and Rydal, and Windermere, and Hawes, and Wallergill, and Bassenthwaite, and Derwent, and Buttermere, and Langdale, and Grasmere, and Ulleswater, and Conister, and Crummoch—wandering off, in fancy, from the track selected by the artist, hither and thither as we list at the moment, in an ascent of Fairfield, in a stroll down the Vale of St. John's, in a saunter over the Sands of Cartmel, in an ex cursion to Saddleback, or in a ramble through Borrowdale. At the period when the original col lection of water-colours from the hand of Mr. Pyne was on view, we took occasion to express our sense of the genius displayed by the artist in his delineation of those remarkable landscapes. It were idle to observe in regard to the engravings from those original drawings, the engravings here issued in the form of an eminently meritorious and cos ly publication, more than that the genius of the painter has been emulated to a considerable extent by the skill and adroitness of the lithographer. In somuch that the enterprise, commence d some time back under the happiest auspices, is now rapidly a p. proaching a successful consummation. LYCEUM TFIEATRE. On the occasion of Mr. and Mrs. F. Matthew's benefit last night, a slight piece not remarkable for vis comica, but still noticeable as a specimen of French ingenuity in building something upon nothing, was produced with succes s. We say " French," because The Gentleman Op posite, as the piece is called, is taken from a vaudeville en. titled La Tasse Cass6e. Lucy (Mrs. F. Matthews), the ser vant of Mrs. Mowbray (Miss Talbot), a fascinating widow, has the misfortune to break an ornamental china cup that stands in the window. To conceal her own delinquency, she attaches a stone to an undirected and unsigned let ter she has received from her sweetheart, Pounce (Mr. Swan), and places it near the fractured ornament. Mrs. Mowbray, seeing the damage, and discovering the epistle, concludes that the letter comes from Mr. Charles Villiers (Mr. C. Mathews), a "gentleman opposite," with whom she is person Ily unacquainted, but of whom she hears good accounts. A lawsuit in which she is engaged, and which she fears she can only terminate by a hateful marriage with her adversary, Fitzaddle (Mr. Basil Baker), enables her to invite Mr. Villiers in his pro fessional capacity, and she is greatly astonished V.) find that the supposed hurler of the love epistle is modest and retiring to a fault. However, out of this interview a serious engagement results, the straight path of genteel courtship being now and then inter rupted by the pretensions of Mr. Pounce, who hearing his letter read with evident affection by Mrs. Mowbray, concludes that he himself must be the favoured object. On the strength of this hypothesis, Pounce bullies Fitz mhfia cl an l em e l rte i hi n riael t it o l eyir a tse. resignation see o hi f foe td t vo h o e s no lady's n vhoab andbu but he e h a t now s r. ve mad p k v n e e e t n h t e a ti r o o n a ,hy c a Mr r . fi c ir . Mathews, of the bashful timidity of the modest admirer, gradually yielding to a growing ardour, and the brilliant appearance of Miss Talbot as the fair widow, are the chief features of this little unpretending piece. PRIVATE AND JOINT-STOCK BANKS. The Banker's Magazine furnishes the returns of circu lation of the private and joint-stock banks in Fogland and Wales for the four weeks ending the 10th of June, 1854, and gives the following as the average weekly cir culation of those banks during the past month, viz.:— Private banks Joint-stock banks 3,023,219 Average weekly circulation £6,783,339 On comparing the above with the returns for the pre ceding month, ending the 13th of May last, it shows— A decrease in the circulation of the private banks of A decrease its the circulation of the joint-stock backs of £189,906 111,969 Decrease on the month £301,875 and, as compared with the return for the corresponding period of last year, viz., June 11th, 1853, it shows— An increase in the circulation of the private banks of A decrease in the circulation of the joint-stock banks of £1,806 17,930 Decrease on the year i116,124 On comparing the above with the arnounts of the fixed issues, the following appears to be thecomparative state of the circulation :—_ The private banks are below their fixed issues... £847,335 The joint-stock banks are below their fixed issues 302,638 Total below their fixed issues 21,149,973 CITY OF LONDON THEATRY4.—The summer season at this theatre has commenced most propitiously. During the last two or three weeks the performances, which do infinite credit to the management, have attracted very numerous audiences, and have given general satisfaction to the theatre-goers in this part of the town. One of the most successful pieces brought out here is a drama, by Mr. James Worrell, entitled, The Mulatto Murderer; or, the Bridal Ring, which we must say for startling effect and intense interest, is not excelled by some of the French productions, with which West-end managers have lately startled the metropolis. It is repeated this week, and will no doubt prove extremely remunerative to the management. We are glad to fin,l that a rapid and marked improvement is taking place in all the en- tertainments at this place of amusement. South Devon 'De. fixed, 44 per cent S.

I _We observe in the July num b er of t he hisßiairteblliiegrent and not unfrequentl y b rilliant organ of our Catholic fellow-countrymen, two arti cles of a very different kind, but each of them par ticularly entitled to exa mination. Both, we f ee l satisfied, will more than repay perusal with the dis passionate. O ne re l a t es to a young writer of poetry who but very recently ventured forth from the ob scurity in which he has been born and nurtured, and proffered—we doubt not with a tremulous though daring hand —more metrical contributions to our national literature. The other refers to the chief representative and glory of that literature. One has allusion, that is to say, to Gerald Massey. The other to -William Shakspere. The criticism on Mr. Massey's little volume of poems, especially in re gard to the '' Bal!ad of Babe Christabel," is genial and eulogistic. The essay upon " The Immortal B%rd" is nothing more nor less than an argument in reply to the inquiry, ".‘ Was Shakspere a Catho lic ?" A question we are not by any means sur prised to find answered by the Rambler, rather by delicate inference than by positive assertion, in the affirmative. The Head and Heart.—A new claimant for pub lic favour has here appeared among the already considerable cluster of monthly periodicals. Al though it is usually somewhat difficult to judge of the merits of an enterprise of this kind from an examination of merely one number, we can see sufficiently into the design of The Read and Heart from the initial instalment of it, before us, to perceive at once that it is a design eminently entitled to commendation. From one of the many entertaining contributions to the Head and Heart we quote the following sensible observations upon Boarding-School Education " But if such is the system of tamale education exist ing in England (of course with exceptions), how much more of evil is that system productive under which girls are sent to France for instruction ? It is notoriously a boast, that every English tendency of the young heart is there eradicated. A girl goes from a happy and com l., irtable home to the meagre fare and chilling accommo dations of a French boarding-school. She is taught nothing of good that could not, with proper care, have been taught at house ; and in far too many instances the information she does acquire is such that eventually makes her an outcast from society. At the best they are either crammed to repletion with wearisome lessons, or such are altogether neglected for the sake of fiivolity. Such girls are like victim] destined for the sacrifice, and. dressed with the peiishable flowers of mere accomplish• ments.' A story, entitled " The Heart and the Head : a► Father's Legacy to his Son," is already commenced. Besides which we observe the beginning of a " Stu dent's Self-instructing French Grammar," and an article on the subject of the War—contributions sufficient of themselves to justify the supplementary titles of the Head and Heart as a Youth Instructor and Fireside Intelligencer.

CORN EXCHANGE. To day's market was very scantily supplied with all kinds of English wheat. The demand, however, ruled very dull, and inferior qualities were offered on lower terms without sales being effected. The show of foreign wheat was extensive. Owing to the prevailing fine weather, the inquiry for all descriptions was heavy, and the quotations were not supi,orted. Very few floating cargoes were on offer.
