1M......' -- TIONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is no new feature of importance in the Discount Market this morning, the de mand being of an active character. The brokers aid joint stem firms exhibit great reserve in negotiating long dated paper, and for six months' bills, which a week or two ago could have been discounted at 4 per cent., 5 per cent. is now required. The rate for three months' bills is 4 per cent. The Hecla has arrived from New York with £35,146. The accounts from the manufacturing districts for the past week state that business in most de partments was less active. At Manchester prices of both cloths and yarns have been rather firmer, 'while operations in the woollen districts of Leeds, Bradford, and Huddersfield were chiefly in winter goods at fully late rates. In the hosiery and lace departments of Leicester and Nottingham, more while no chang e o f i mportance activity prevailed, can be reported in the hardware districts of Bir mingham, Sheffield, and Wolverhampton. A new monetary establishment has been formed, entitled the Discount Corporation, with a nominal capital of £2,000,000, the first issue to consist of 10,000 shares of £lOO each. The object of the institution, as its name implies, is to offer assistance to the mercantile community, whose general expan sion of trade, the directors state, require greater discounting facilities. Arrangements have been made for the transfer of Messrs. Bruce and Co.'s business, and two of the late partners are to be members of the new board, which is very respect ably constituted. The shares are already quoted 2k prem. The Sardinian Mining Company, with a capital of £lOO,OOO, in shares of £lO each, has been pro jetted for the purpose of purchasing and working extensive mineral estates in Sardinia, abbut 30 miies from Cagliari. The reports of engineers and others which accompany the prospectus furnish ample information as to the produce of the mines and the quality of the ore to be found there. The amount to be paid for the transfer of the property is £12,000, and a stipulation has been made that the proprietors shall receive a third of the purchase money in shares of the ccmpany. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this day, according to Mr. Reuter's tele• gram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were at 67f. 65c. 67f. 70c. The English Stock Market is now assuming a dull and inactive appearance. In fact the members are beginning to settle down after the late activity, and their calculations exhibit greater coolness and deliberation. Nothing of any moment has occurred to agitate Consols either one way or the other, and the quotations, therefore, remain the same as on Saturday, viz., 92-T 7 93 for money, and 93 a a for the account. The New Threes and B,educed An nuities are 911 d ; Bank Stoca is 233 ; and Exche quer Bills continue at par to 3s. prem. The India 5 per Cent. Loan is 108 ; the 4 per Cent. ditto 1001; the 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper 1161. The Debentures are 10N--,, and the Bonds 18s. prem. A very good business was negotiated this morn ing in the Foreign department, the principal feature of which is the continued depression of Greek Bonds, which have fallen this morning to 337, and the Coupons to 15 16. Mexican, on the other hand, are much firmer, and have advanced to 42L- Turkish Consolides have also risen to 53: g ; the Spanish Internal Passive Debt shows weakness, at 291 301; the Confederate Loan is steady at 25 23 dis.; and the Brazilian Loan is buoyant at 1 prem. The 41 per Cent. Brazilian Loan has realised 911 ; Danish 3 per Cents. are 85; New Granada, 151 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 931; the 41 per Cents, 1850, 901 ; the 5 per Cents., 1862, 931 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 49: ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 541 ; New Deferred, 481; and the Certificates, 13* 14 ; Tur kish 6 per Cents. of 1854 have brought 92; do., 1858, 701 70 ; the £lOO Bonds, 73; ; the 1862 issue, 701 71 ; Venezuelan 6 per Cents. are 64- ; and Italian 5 per Cents., 728 1. In the Railway Share Market there has been very little animation, and the few bargains re corded exhibit a further slight decline in prices. Great Eastern and North Western have receded es., and Caledonian and South Western, 10s. For the Foreign and Colonial lines there has been very little inquiries, and prices are un altered. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares are flat. India Land Mortgage Bank are quoted 31 a prem. ; Anglo-Austrian, j preen. ; East London, Ito 11 prem. ; London and Provincial Marine, a to prem. ; and Discount Corporation, 21 3 prem.

In the country markets held on Saturday good and fine wheats sold steadily at late rates, but inferior qualities ruled heavy on rather easier terms. The demand for barley, oats, beans, and peas ruled inactive, at about stationary prices. The flour trade was dull. On the Continent the corn trade is generally dull. From the United States we learn that the dewaud for wheat and flour had improved, and that an . advance had taken place in prices. There was a fair arrival of English grain up to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 36,998 quarters of wheat, 9,557 barley, 75,877 oats, 3,142 beans, 3,967 linseed, 1,957 oilseeds, and 547 sacks and 26,332 barrels flour. Fresh up to Mark-lane to-day the arrivals of home grown wheat were very moderate, but most samples were received in good condition. The trade, however, for all qualities ruled inactive, yet no change took place in prices compared with Monday last. There were a few buyers from the North in attendance, but their operations were on a very Halite' scale, the prices offered by them being too low to admit of transactions of importance. The show of samples of foreign wheat, both ex ship and ex granary, was large. In the former sales progressed heavily, and where sales were pressed, rather lower prices were taken by holders. For the latter, the trade was in a sluggish state, yet the currency was unaltered from this day se'nnight. Floating cargoes of grain were in slow request at about stationary prices. The supply of English and foreign barley was moderate. The demand for all qualities ruled inactive at the recent fall in the quotations. _ _ The supply of old malt was moderate, and the show of new qualities was seasonably large. The trade was dull, and prices had a downward tendency. With oats the market was extensively supplied. All qualities sold heavily, and prices were Gcl. per quarter lower than on Monday last. Beans were in fair supply, and heavy request, at a de cline in prices of is per quarter. Peas were unaltered in value from Monday last. The inquiry was far from active, notwithstanding the short supply. The supply of American flour on offer was large, and prices slightly declined. Country marks sold heavily, at barely late rates.

The beasts were in very middling condition; but the quality of the sheep and calves was prime. Some of the Dutch sheep realised 48s each. From our grazing districts, as well as from Ireland, the receipts of beasts fresh up as to number were seasonably extensive; but their general condition was by no means first rate. Good and prime stock moved off slowly, and the quotations were barely supported. Inferior breeds of beasts were 'very dull at a decline in the currencies, compared with Monday last of 2d per Sibs, and a clearance was not effected. The highest figure for beef was 5s per 81bs. The receipts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, comprised 2,800 short horns, &c. ; from other parts of England, 800 various breeds; and from Ire land, 750 ()yen and heifers. With sheep we were fairly supplied, and most breeds came to hand in good saleable condition. The mutton trade was in a sluggish state at barely last week's prices. The best old Downs sold at from 5s to 5s 4d per 81bs. We have to report a dull inquiry for calves—the supply of which was moderate at late currencies, viz., from 3s 4d to 4s 4d per 81bs. The sale for pigs was inactive. In prices, however, very little change took place. Per Sib, to sink the offal. F. d. s. d.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ROBBERY AT A JEWELLERS. —Henry John Wright, a boy in the employ of Mr. Charles Hayward, jeweller, 204, Regent-street, was charged before Mr. Knox with stealing two rings, six gold watch hooks, and a pair of earrings, altogether of the value of about £2O. From the evidence of Mr. Hayward it appeared that on Wednesday last he gave the prisoner a ring, of the value of £2 55., to take to a workman named Wilkinson, residing at Skinner-street, Clerkenwell, to be repaired, and also other packets, containing a ring, watch hooks, and a pair of ear rings, to deliver at other places. The prisoner never delivered the parcels, but absconded, and Mr. Hayward then communicated with the police, and on the prisoner being taken to Mr. Hayward on Saturday evening he said that he had lost the things. Sergeant Charles Cole, 23 C, who had been to Windsor and Woolwich in search of the ptisoner, said that on re ceiving the prisoner into custody, he searched him, but did not find anything on bim. At the station he told the in spector (Mr. Bowles) that he had pledged the articles at different places, but he had told another person that he had thrown the watch hooks away in the Underground Rail way, between Gower•street and Portland -road. Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner, who had only been in Mr. Hayward's employ four months, and had no questions to ask the witnesses, till Thursday next. VIOLENT ATTACK ON A CONSTABLE BY THIEVES.— George Llewellyn alias Leadbeater was charged before Mr. Knox, with being concerned in a carriage robbery and vie lent attack on Chapple, a plain clothes officer of the E di vision. Chapple, who has the remains of two very bad black eyes, said a man (under remand) the prisoner, and two others were standing in Great Portland-street. One of the men took a shawl out of a brougham, and then threw it back again and made off. Chapple pursued the man, who attacked him in a most violent manner, and the prisoner and the two others then came up and joined in the attack on Chapple, who was grossly illused, the time of the affray being four o'clock in the afternoon, and no one assisting the constable, who, however, secured the man who took the shawl. Sergeant Franklin, 20 E, deposed to taking the .orisoner into custody last night, when, without telling him the charge, he said that he was " no worse than the others." Mr. Knox remanded the prisoner to be brought up with the other. WESTMINSTER. DISGRACEFUL AND UNPROVOKED ASSAULT.—John O'Hara was charged with the following unprovoked outrage : Denis Sullivan, a very respectably-attired man, who described himself as an attendant at the South Kensington Museum, living at 28, Moore-street, said that between 12 and one this morning be was proceeding along Kensington towards home, and when he got into Milner-terrace was accosted by the defendant, who asked him if he had seen a policeman. He replied he had not lately, but there would soon be one round that way. Defendant then walked along with him, and he said he had been robbed by two or three persons in Moore-street. Complainant not wishing, however, to be followed by the defendant, who, he saw, was drunk, and might create a disturbance in his (complainant's) street, endeavoured to get away from him, but despite his exer tions, defendant persisted in running after him, called "Police," and at length collared him, and tripping him up, complainant fell and struck his forehead seriously on the kerb stone. Defendant still held him after this and accused him of robbing him. A policeman now came up, when defendant repeated his statement, but the constable, know ing complainant and seeing the defendant was drunk, refused to believe the latter's statement, and took him into custody for assaulting complainant. Robert M‘Kaye, 182 B, said he had previous to this found the defendant drunk, and persuaded him to go home, and when he came round his beat again, hearing a disturb ance, ho proceeded to the spot, and found the complainant woundT h former e ever wasthe e q e u y i e t , o s w o h b i e l r e , and bleeding f t e w ned a oa s pni d ot r us u st n rlyukg • frgolita T ng h a. ey preferred their different com plaints, and ho took defendant into custody. The accused said ho was drunk, and knew nothing what ever about the matter. Mr. Arnold said it was really too bad that a respectable ma n proceeding quietly home should be ill-treated in this unwarrantable manner, and fined defendant 50s, or one month's imprisonment. He was locked up. T HAME S. THE QUARREL NOR A WATCH.—Susan Mitchell, a woman of the town, was brought before Mr. Partridge, on remand, charged with stealing a silver watch, the property of Isaac William Ailidge, a corkcutter. A few days since Police -sergeant Wood, No. 22, K, met the prisoner and another woman in Ratcliff-highway. They were quarrelling about a watch, and both claimed it, and said it belonged to a sailor. The watch was in posses sion of the prisoner, and the sergeant took het into custody. On reaching the station-house she said it was given to her by a sailor. The ring of the watch was broken, and it was quite evident that the watch had been forcibly taken from its owner, and the swivel broken in doing so. Mr. Charles Young, solicitor, who now appeared for the prosecution, said the watch belonged to Mr. Ailidge, cork cutter, at No. 25, St. George-street, at the corner of Old Gravel-lane. Mr. Ailidge said he was "on the drink " a few nights ago, and lie got home somehow or other, and went to bed. Ho soon fell asleep, and when he awoke he was on the flat of his back, and the ring of. the Watch and the ribb o n to which it was fastened was in his hand. Th e r ibb on was round hie neck. He had no idea how hie watch was stolen, nor did he recollect being in the prison er ' s company. Mr. Partridge said the prisoner W as in the unlawful pos session of M. Ailidgo's watch, and sentenced her to be im prisoned and kept to hard labour for six weeks. TANWORTS EL E CTION, POLLING THIS D A y , TWELVE O'CLOCx.

TOTAL WRECK OF A MIDDLESBOROUGII. Durham, S un d a y night. STEAMER.—Seaton Carevirf —Yesterday morning, reports the Rev. John Lawson, in a gale from the S.S.E. and a heavy sea, the steam tug Energy, of Middlesborough, s truck on the bar at the mouth of the River Tees. In the course of a quarter of en hour she had entirley disappeared. - W h en the perilous position of the vessel was observed, the Seaton Carew lifeboat, longing to the National Lifeboat Institution, was at once manned and launched to the assistance of her crew ; but after remaining out above an hour, nothing could be seen of the poor men, and the lifeboat reluctantly returned to the shore. It afterwards appeared that the crew of the steamer three iu number, had left the ship in their own boat, and and had gone out to sea, and had been picked up by a Russia vessel, They afterwards got on board another Mid dlesborough steamer in the bay, which in the course of the evening brought them to the Tees in safety, LITERATURE. Our Old Home. By Nathaniel Hawthorne, author of ti Transformation," " The Scarlet Letter," &e. Two volumes. Smith and Elder. Nathaniel Hawthorne has before now furnished us with " Twice-told-Tales," many of.which were worth twice telling. We cannot affirm the same of the recollections he has now favoured us with, some of which—not a few of which—had better have been left unsaid. In his introductory confidences "to a friend" Mr. Hawthorne tells us that he had at first intended to write a larger work upon the same sub ject, "but." he adds, " the Present, the Immediate, the Actual has proved too potent for me. It takes away from me not only my scanty faculty, but even ray desire for imaginative composition." He goes on to say, however, " I shall easily fiad room for the abortive work on a certain ideal shelf where are reposited many other shadowy volumes of mine, more in number, and very much supel for in quality, to those which I have succeeded in rendering actual." How many of Mr. Hawthorne's readers, and how many of his admirers (for his quaint style and shrewd observation have gained him, in this c ountry, many admirers) will, like ourselves, wish for his own fame's sake that these two " actual" volumes also reposed upon that same "shadowy" shelf! lie himself acknowledges that some of his friends have told him, that these sketch©s evince an asperity of sentiment towards the English people which he ought not to feei. He affects sßrprise at this asser tion, and claims an " hereditary sympathy" for the English people; and yet, in the very next breath, be exclaims, and the exclamation coming from a Yankee almost takes aways our breath :—" These people (the English) think so loftily of themselves, and so contemptuously of everybody else, that it re quires more generosity than I possess to keep a lways in perfectly good humour with thenz Equally marvellous, in the utter unconsciousness of its application nearer home, is another remark of gr. Hawthorne's, which occurs in the second volume AMERICAN IDEA OF ENGLISH PUGNACITY I An English people, I imagine, are influenced in a far greater degree than ourselves by this simple and honest tendency, in cases of disagreement, to Mier one another's person; and whoever has seen a crowd of English ladies (for instance. at the door of the Sistine Chapel, in Holy week), will be satisfied that their belligerent propensities are kept in abeyance only by a merciless rigour on the part o f society. It requires a vast deal of refinement to spiri•• tualize their large physical endowments. _ _ The English ladies appear to be more particularly the objects of this American gentleman's ungallant scorn. His picture of an English matron of fifty is s imply a grotesque caricature. Nevertheless, he admits that "an English maiden in her teens, though very sf ldom so pretty as our own damsels, possesses, to ruth, a ce r t a i n c h arm o f h a lf-bl oss om, and sa y the t delicately folded leaves, and tender womanhood shielded by maidenly reserves, with which, some how or other, our American girls often fail to adorn themselves during an appreciable moment." And i s ame writer, thisimmediately after pronouncing this gra ceful pan eg y r i c upon the charms o f refine ment, goes on to express his farther sentiments on t of s ubjec corporeal the growth in a style 89 coarse as to be W positively revolting. e make these re marks more in so rrow than i n anger, " f or we h ave been e ver ready to recognise Mr. Hawthorne's real abilities, of which th e vo l umes b e f ore us g i ve am pl e ev idence. As a sp ec i men o f hi s sty l e , h ere i s a humorous but sarca s ti c s k etch of T ug DENIZENS OF THE THAMES TUNNEL. There seem to be people who spend their lives here, and who probably blink like owls, when, once or twice a year, perhaps, they happen t o cl i mb into the sunshine. A ll along the corridor, which I believe to be a mile in extent, we see stalls or shops in little alcoves, kept principally by womeh--they were of a ripe age, I was glad to observe, and certaialy robbed England of none of its very moderate sup ply of feminine loveliness (I) by their deeper than tomb-like interment. As you appr oac h ( and they are so accustomed to the dusky gaslight that they r ead all your characteristics afar off), t h e y assail you w i t h hungry entreaties to buy some of their merchandise, holding forth views of the T unn el put uP in cases of D erbysh i re spar, w i t h a magnifyi , g .glass at ono end to make the vista more effective. They offer you, b es id es, cheap jewellery, sunny t opazes and resplendent emerald s f or s i xpence, an d di amon d s as big as the Koh-i-noor at a n o t muc h h eav i er cos t , to gether with a multifarious trumpery which has died out of the upper w orld to reappear in thi s Tartarean bazaar. That You may foie,' yourself still i n th o realms of the living, th e y urge You to partake of ca k es, candy, ginger -beer, a nd such sma ll refreshment, more su i table, however, for the shadowy a ppetite of ghost s th an f or the sturdy stomachs of Englishmen. The most c a p ac i ous of the shops contains a dioramie exhibition of cities and scenes in the daylight world, with a dreary glimmer of gas among them all; so that they serve well enough to represent the dim, unsatis factory remembrances that de a d people might be supposed to retain fro m their past lives,mixing them up with the ghastliness of thei , unsubstantial state. I dwell the more upon these trifles, and do my best to give them a mockery of importance, because, if th ese are nothing, then all this elaborat e contrivance and mighty piece of work hes been wrought in vain. The Englishman has burrowed under the bed of his great river, and set ships of two or three thousand tons a-rolling over his head, only to pro vide new sites for a few old women to sell cakes and ginger beer I Yet the conception was a grand one. On the other hand, full of pathos (although also of exaggeration) are the glimpses of the crowded alleys and back slums of London. These pictures are in deed drawn with the blackest pencil. Here is a sketch, however, somewhat more to our liking than those we have given above : WOMAN IN RAGS. Yet motherhood, in these dark abodes, is strangely iden tical with what we have all known it to bo in the happiest as I rem em b er, smote me w i th more homes. Noth in g , grief and pity ( a ll the . more poig nan t b ecause perp l ex i ng l y entangled with a n inclination t o sm il e) than to hear a gaunt and ragged mother priding herself on th e p ret ty wa y s o f her ragged and skinny infant, just as a young matron might when she invites her lady friends to admire her plump, white - ro bed darling in the nursery. Indeed, no womanly characteristic seemed to have altogether perished out of these poor souls. It was the very same creature whose tender torments make the rapture of our young days, whom we love, ch er i s h, an d p ro t ect , and rely upon in life a nd death, and whom we delight to see beautify her beauty with rich robes and set it off with j e wels, though now fantastically masquerading in a garb of tatters, who lly unfit for her to handle. I reco g niz e d her, over and over again, in the groups roun d a d oor - step or i n the descent of a cellar, chatting with prodigious earnest ness about intangible trifles, laughing for a little jest, sympathizing at almost the same instant with one neigh bour's sunshine and another's shadow, wise, simple, sly, and patient, yet easily perturbed, and breaking into small feminine ebullitions of spite, wratb, and jealousy, tornadoes of a moment, such as vary the social atmosphere of her silken-skirted sisters, though smothered into propriety by dint of a well-bred habit. Not that there was an absolute deficiency of good breeding even here. It often surprised me to witness a courtesy and deference among these ragged folks, which, having seen it, I did not thoroughly believe in, wondering whence it should have come. I am per suaded, however, that there were laws of intercourse which they never violated —a code of the cellar, the garret, the common staircase, the door-step, and the pavement, which perhaps has as a deep foundation in natural fitness as the code of the drawing-room. We might quote numerous descriptive passages, all indicating the vigorous hand and thoughtful brain, but also the oblique vision and bad taste of their author. Even the name he has cbosen for his work, with its crowd of tender memories and touch ing associations—" Oar Old Home !"--has been powerless to appeal to his sensibilities. Nathaniel Hawthorne, claiming," hereditary sympathy: England, h a s visited his old home in nellalmang . with or fraternal spirit. This " chisel" has been ~ us" taking notes in the unfriend l y s p irit of Cassius All our faults observed (aye, and exaggerated tenfold !), set in a note-book, learnedaid conned by rote to cast into our teeth." But, as in all such in stances of unfair criticism or unfounded attack, less injury is done to the recipient than to the donor, Nathanial Hawthorne will reap anything but satis faction from his uucandid censorship, while the "Old Home" he despises will be unharmed by his assault and indifferent to his opinion. Poems. By Francis Charlcs AVcedon. One vo; pp. 239. Longman and Co. " At the request of friends," is, of all apologies for the publication of any literary production whatever, about the sorriest. It is beyond a doubt of it the sorriest that could by possibility be pre fixed to any collection of poetical or quasi poetical performances. yet, as in the instance before us, it greets us at the very opening of the little volume now under notice, in accents for once singularly persuasive in their tone, it wins at once our most generous sympathy in regard to the metrical pro ductions, to which, in a very exceptional manner, the trite old phrase above quoted here forms the aptest introduction. Neariy two yens have elapsed since the writer of the Poems, now thus collected together for the first time and issued from the press as a posthumous work of very moderate pretensions, breathed his last, to the great grief of those who knew him best—ending his career so prematurely, according to the estimation at least of his admiring friends, that what proved by the event to be the goal they had been regarding up to the moment of his demise to be merely the starting point. Dying at the very commencement of 1861, in the thirtieth year of his age, Francis Charles Weedon, like Kirke White and not a few others of lesser note, was the victim of his own literary ambition —his assiduous application to study sowing, in a consti tution naturally far from robust, the germs of that deadliest disease for youth in this climate, con sumption. Utterly unknown to us previously in my way, the name of this dead student here claims our attention for the very first time, and also, of course, for the very last, as the writer of these few and brief Poems, poems for the most part of a very unpretending character. Before turning over the two hundred and odd pages containing them, we give an attentive hearing to the anonymous friend who has contributed to the book, by way of introduction, a gracefully writ ten and, as might be expected, under the circum stances, from what has here been already remarked in regard to Francis Weedon, a most eulogistic "Memoir of the Author." From this biographical notice we learn that a critic as illustrious as Lord Macaulay, wrote to this young poet, in a letter dated from the Albany on the 19th of November, 1849, " You can have no difficulty in finding a magazine in which such verses as those you have sent me will be inserted with jey and gratitude." The verses thus emphatically commended by Macaulay, make part of this posthumous collection of Poems by Francis Weedon. They appear here at page 13 under the modest title of " A Sketch of the Peleponnesian War." When written and sent to the great critic for his opinion and advice, the author of them, a total stranger to Macaulay, was but a stripling of eighteen. And it was to this obscure youth of eighteen that that generous and rarely gifted critic, earnestly wrote the assurance that verses like those could find no difficulty in winning their way to publicity through the medium of some periodical in which they would be inserted with "joy and gratitude !" No won der the ambition of the youth should have been kindled by those burning words of praise, no wonder the highest hopes of his frienda and rela tives should have been awakened eagerly in his behalf. Now, however, that, as his genial biogra pher says of him here in memoriam,-- "His path is blocked up by a narrow tomb"— we have but to cone the pages he had already written before his demise. It is worse than idle to dream for one instant of what he might have become in later years if spared. What he had done before he breathed his last, is all that we, on our part, have in any way to do with. It lies before us in this small volume of poems, poems mostly graceful and contemplative of their kind, but a few of them towards the close of the work, of a faintly, almost feebly humorous, character. So very faintly or feebly humorous are these last, that we cannot but think the editor of the collection would have done wisely to have left them out altogether. Besides their being in themselves such very small jokes in deed, they appear here, we cannot but think, in these posthumous pages, and after the mournful memorial prefixed to them in the way of a graceful deprecatory introduction, they appear here almost as an anti-climax, certainly quite incongruously. As a specimen of our author's quality, however, we will give the concluding stanzas of his poem on " A Spring Morning"— Bursts the brooklet from its fountain, leaps the wild goat on the mountain ; In the plains, the palm and cedar lift their branches to the sun ; From the thicket comes a ringing ; all the woods break forth in singing; Through a thousand secret channels little streams begin to run. Soft and low the wind is sweeping, o'er the waters silent sleeping; Sweeping through the broad-leaved lilies, sweeping through the tangled reeds; Then across the meadows speeding, in the distance dim receding, Sowing hill dnd dale with beauty from a myriad winged seeds. And the honey-bees are humming, for the fair-haired Spring is coming, Coming with the April showers, and the May's unclouded skies ; At the magic of her presence, every grove is filled with pleasaunce, And the warmth of Summer lightens in the promise of her eyes. There is something striking, too, in the following (what though with a suspicion of bathos in the closing words)-- LINES SUGGESTED BY READING, IN BULWER'S " LAST DAYS OF POMPEII, " " THE THREATENED EXPOSURE OF OLINTHUS THE CHRISTIAN, PREVIOUS TO THE ERUPTION. " They lead him forth, th' arena's shout is heard Rising into the calm and gentle air, Which shrinks to be unholily thus stirred, And hushes (as some pitying angel were • In sorrow murmuring a reproving word,) That hoarse wild roar, which surely seemed t o bear A cry for vengeance—not so deemed by those Above whom justice now her sword's bright radiance throws. For lo I the sky with an increasing glare Grows furnace-red, save where Vesuvius dark Rears his fire-blasted brow—sullenly there A boding cloud hangs silent. Dost thou mark The heaviness, the stupor of despair? Nature is dumb with awe. Yet still one lark Poureth its free song I mercy's last appeal Has ceased—no more those notes on the ear gently steal. But, in their stead, one sound destroying crash Deafens the ear; fro m the gr im mount upsprings The spirit of desolation; downward dash The lava-torrents, coped within the rings Of solid rock; their snaky volumes clash In fiery-crested waves, till each o'er-ftings Its ponderous load in headlong fury down, Grappling it like an enemy—then hurls it on the town. Pretty themes like "Late Snowdrops," two or three melodious serenades, and a charming little .4A. Bee and a Cowslip"—will serve allegory, to indicat e more clearly than any number of words by wa y of comment upon the manner of their treat ment, how delicate is the form, how tender and radiant are the hues of the poetic butterfly (Nkuri) that has here alit for a while upon the rack of criticism —not certainly, by us, to be broken upon it s imply to be admired so long as it rests there, for such as it is. •• '''' •• Nieu Diep .... 48 .. 532 .. ..

One Vol. Pp. 189. Smith and Elder. Three very thoughtful and judicious essays, well worthy of the attentive perusal of the student and the writer. The author thus modestly defines his intention at the close of his second essay : I cannot pretend to so extensive a reading of what has been written on the subject as would enable me to say with certainty that the views brought forward in this essay are new. But finding the subject so nearly approached by many of the most eminent writers, and yet finding no more com plete treatment of it, nor any allusion to a systematic treat ment of it, I have proceeded, in the confidence that a syste matic review of languoge, in the wide sense in which I have employed the word, has never been undertaken, even in the form of an essay. As a first attempt at such a thing, an essay is, I doubt not, the proper form. A treatise, with any pretence of completeness, must have been inaccu rate. The subject must be discussed, in order to be re duced to a system of sound thought; and I therefore pu t forward these views with a full knowledge that they ! e a::: be imperfect, and that they may, in many respects, at let` to be inaccurate. I have carefully noticed all ap r p o r ugh u t in similar views that my small range of reading my way ; and if any important notices of the h : been from have been overlooked, I can truly say it hes: „row want of robe subject any want of desire to make use of them, b opportunity to pursue the research.

The Newmarket Second October commences to-day, but the all-important race of the meeting cornea off to-morrow. There are 84 acceptances for the Cesarewitch, but the field will scarcely exceed 20. The following will comprise the most of those likely to put in an appearance : Horses. Riders. Wingrave, 4 yrs, Bst 121 b Carisbrook. 4 yrs, Bst 61b Umpire, 6 yrs, Bst lib Harlequin, 4 yrs, Bst lib Blackdown, Captainlack Twilight,d o w Cr n Crow, aged,, yrs, 4 T t yrs, 7 88 b s 5 b lllb Custence Fordham t Edwards Doyle Limosina, 4 yrs, 7st 31b H. Grimshaw Emblem, aged, 7st Maidment Fantail, 3 yrs, Est 131 b Blithfield, i yrs, 6st 121 b Blondin, 3 yrs, 6st 121 b Cannon Chere Amie, 6 yrs, Est 111 b .. Woodhouse Drummer Boy, 4 yrs, Est 101 b French Lioness, 4 yrs, 6st 81b Jack of Hearts, 3 yrs, 6st 71b Mordan 1 he Serf, 3 yrs, 6st 51b Marson. Real Jam, 4 yrs,:6st 41b Morris Oakapple, 3 yrs, Est 41b Morgan Romanoff, 3 yrs, 6st lib .. Thomas Sandford, 3 yrs, sst 131 b Summerside, 3 yrs, sst 11Ib .. Murfet Venison, 3 yrs, sst 10Ib Melandra, 3 yrs, sst 81b Wingrave heads the list with the steadier of Bst 121 b. He will be steered by one of the most artistic jockeys living, but he has got too much weight to carry for a severe race of this description. Carisbrook and Fantail will both run in the same interest, and, although the former has never been mentioned in the betting, I shall expect him to finish before his stable companion. Umpire is, without ex ception, the most favourably treated in the handicap, and if he would only take it into his head to try, he could win with another stone on his back; but as he is a rank cur, and almost certain to shut up at the hill, I must look elsewhere for the winner. Harlequin, after his defeat of Hurricane, and his running with Iso line in the Queen's Plate, ought to have a chance. Twilight will find the company here too good for her Blackdown and Jack of Hearts are Drewitt's pair. They are both good, sound, game horses, and sure to stay every inch of the distance, but I think they have too much weight. Limosina is the representative of Lord Stamford; and was first favourite for a short time last week, having been backed for immense sums of money. His lordship's money is said to be on, and the race all over but " shout , ing." I certainly am of a very different opinion. She has never shown to advantage over a distance of ground, and in my opinion she will be more dangerous over the Cam bridgeshire course than here. Emblem is in the same stable with Umpire, and has come with a rush into the market within the last few days; but old horses seldom win a race like the Cesarewitch. Still, with her favour able weight, she must be dangerous. Drummer Boy and Chere Arnie are the selected of God• ding's stable. The former is by far the best of the two, and has been supported to win a large stake by Mr. Naylor, the fortunate owner of Macaroni. The " boy " is aur a to be ridden home from end to end, and, if not the actual winner, is almost certain to run into a place. Lioness has been backed for a s much good money as any horse in the race. She has been successfully tried with The Knave and Costa, and it is almost impossible that Mat Dawson could have made a mistake, as The Knave has given weight and beaten the best handicap horses that have been out this year. Summerside will represent the American interest. She has been heavily supported within the last day or two. She was successful twice as a two• yr-old, but there was nothing behind her of any account; and as it is money, and not always merit, that makes the "mare to go," I would advise her to be kept on the right side. Sandford, although he cut up so wretchedly at the last Newmarket Meeting, will improve upon that form. Onhapple is a game colt, and sure to run forward. To fore stall the judge in his decision, I will place them in the fol lowing order : LIONESS EMBLEM DRUMMER BOY .. 3 A FRESH MAN. HORSES STRUCK OUT OF THE CESAREIVITCH STAKES.
