just returned from France, were received yesterday by the Duke de la Victoria. The Patriarch of the Indies, together with his relative, the celebrated nun Sor Patrocinio, and her confessor, Padre Fulgencio, and various intimates of the same nun, have been ordered to select some place of residence in the provinces, as they will not be allowed to remain in Madrid. The papers state that Sor Patrocinio has had the famous " cinco llagas," or five wounds of our Saviour, again developed, and has been visited by many, to 'Whom she d oes no t f a il t o h o ld f or th o n the imp ious doings of the 17th, 18th, and 19th of July. The cholera at Seville has greatly diminished. It seems that the number of deaths was exaggerated, owing to the ingenious contrivance of certain gen tlemen, to whom the corporation had offered a Peseta each for assisting in the prompt interment of each corpse, and who, acting on the principle that dead men tell no tales, duly received their fees, and then, taking the bodies out of the city by one gate, effected an entrance with their loads at some other part, and, in fact, made the same corpses do duty, as regards obtaining the said burial fees, several times over. The Puropa seems to anticipate unpleasant dis agreements with France, and says that M. de Per slgny is on hi s way here, argu i ng no good from his journey, A special decoration has been ordered by royal decree for the combatants for liberty on the 17th, edh, and 19th of July. The ribbon is t o b e h a lf and green, and suspended from it a civic crown, with a band of gold around it, on which is to be Inscribed in black letters " The grateful country to the defenders of liberty, in July. Madrid, 1854." GREECE. Letters from Athens, of the 7th instant, state that the Napist faction and the Court camarilla were intriguing as actively as ever in favour of Russia. The Ministry closely watched their pro ceedings ; but, meeting with no support from the King, their good intentions were of little avail. Previous to the arrival of M. Mavrocordato, the Ministers had proposed to the Queen to travel for six months out of Greece, observing that a visit to some watering-place in Germany would prove beneficial to her health. Her Majesty, how ever, who does not give up the cause of the Byzan tine Empire as lost, preferred continuing at her n at. The Russian faction had taken advantage ,the appearance of the cholera at the Piraeus to 411 ' Off all communication between Athens and the allied troops. This was a mere pretext to annoy the m , for the circulation was left open to the mili tary and naval Commanders-in-Chief, to the corps d iPlomatique and their attendants, and otter privi leged persons. ITALY. The partizans of Mazzini, in Genoa, annoyed at the declaration of General Garibaldi, with regard to the revolt at Parma, have written to him the ro lling letter "General,--Y our protest, inserted in several Pied raontese journals, has given rise to sinister interpreta tions. For the sake ofyour honour, which, having fought ender your orders, we have a right to defend against ziralignant comments, we demand of you a frank and straightforward declaration. We have shared with you the perils of war and the sufferings of exile. We have shed together our blood for the triumph of one object— the independence of Italy. Our adversaries regard your letter as a first step towards a compromise, and an act in direct contradiction with our programme and prin ciples. It behoves you to disabuse the over credulous and confound the impostors." LLOYD'S SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.) LONDON, Aug. 21.—Wind this day at Noon, W. • light airs, and dull, cloudy weather.

LORD JOHN RUSSELL AT THE LAKES.—Lord John Russell presided unexpectedly at the opening of a small SCIIO OI in the district of the Lakes on Thursday last. His Lordship's arrival at the Lowood Inn, on Windermere, having become known to the Rev. W. Hodgson, that gen tleman requested his presence on the interesting occasion. Ilia Lordship with great kindness complied, and arrived in the after noon , accompan i e d b y L a d y J. R usse ll an d family, at the schoolhouse, which is situated in a ro raautic locality, among the mountains, and is built at the sole expense of Mr. G. Redmayne. A. large Party of the neighbouring gentry were present, and, after a brief statement by Mr. Hodgson of the cir cumstances under which the school was erected, and an address by the Rev. Canon Miller, of Birmingham, on the advance and prospects of English Education, Lord John Russell addressed the assemblage at some length, and referring to an allusion made by Mr. Miller to the preisence of the widow of the lamented Dr. Ar. told, whose residence is in the immediate neighbour hood, concluded by a warm tribute to the doctor's me- Mory, and with the expression of an wish that the bitterness of party spirit might no longer impede the progress o f e d uca tion. ATTEMPTED SUICIDE.—GALLANTRY OF A SEAMAN.— Last evening, a few minutes before eight o'clock, as one of the London and Westminster steam-boats was leaving the pier at Westminster-bridge, a female, apparently labouring under the effects of liquor, threw herself into the river. A seaman, named George Davis, lately arrived from the East Indies, who happened to be on board at the time, immediately threw off his coat, jumped into the water, and caught the drowning woman in his arms. Assistance having been rendered, the woman was conveyed in a boat to the shore, and taken -by the police to the station-house. It deserves to be mentioned that this is the third time that this gallant seaman has had the happiness to save the life of a fellow -creature. ANOTHER EXTENSIVE FIRE AT A FACTORY.—On Saturday afternoon a destructive fire broke out amongst some small houses in a very densely-populated neigh bourhood, known as Pepper-street, near Gravel-lane, Southwark. Tile fire originated in the picture-frame factory of Mr. Scratchley, the men belonging to Whom, it was stated, had gone to di nner . H un d re d s of inhabitants soon assembled on the spot to assist in removing the furniture of the persons residing near it. From the nature of the stock the flames spread very rapidly. The Christ-church parochial engine and those of the brigade soon arrived, and, having been set in operation, in two hours all further danger ceased ; but the entire factory, stock, tools, 4 c., were consumed. S OMERSETSHIRE CENTRAL RAILWAY. -- This line, Which forms a junction with the Bristol and Exeter rai lway, was formally opened on Friday last for traffic.

The sales of cotton at Liverpool yesterday were estimated at 5,000 bales, including 500 American taken for export. The market was heavy, without change in prices. The sales comprised 4,200 American, 250 Pernam and Maranham, at 6d. to 61d. ; 200 Egyptian, at 64d. to 9d. ; 300 Surat, at 3d. to 34d. ; and 40 Sea Island, at ls. to ls. ld. per lb. Railway Shares were firm at improved prices. Letters from Birmingham mention that there has been again an improved feeling in the iron trade during the past week. Pig iron, of good quality, has been in increased demand, and Scotch pig has risen 2s. to 4s. per ton. The Peninsular and Oriental Company's steamer Tagus, which left Southampton, yesterday, for India, &c., has on board 350,2701. in specie. The following are the nominal prices of foreign stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6 to 61 ; Mexi can, 241 to 241 ; Peruvian, 69 to 71 ; Ditto 3 per Cents., 51 to 53 ; Portuguese 4 per Cents., 40 to 42 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 99 to 101 • Ditto 41 per ' Cents., 85 to 87 • Spanish New Deferred, 18± to 181 ; Ditto 3 per Cents., 38± to 381 2 • Ditto Certi cates 4 . 4 to 5i ; Ditto Passive, 31 to 4. The Africa steamer from New York with advices to the 9th inst., are but four days later than pre viously in hand and do not report anything of par ticular importance. The close of the Session of Congress there, like that of Parliament here, had somewhat cooled down the political atmosphere, and left the public mind more free for the calm consideration of all the consequences of the railway stock and bond panic, with the probabilities of or against its early subsidence. From all appear ances, it must be doubtful whether even the most accredited and most correctly managed of the rail way lines will be able to recover their previous standing for some time to come, owing not so much to the enduring remembrance of the frauds which have been perpetrated and exposed in other lines as to the grievous amount of borrowed on bond debt with which they are overloaded, and on which heavy amounts of interests are payable, thus swallowing up a large proportion of the earnings of the most successful. In some cases these bond debts exceed more than twoor threefold the amount of the paid-up capital stock which was the basis of the enterprise, and according to which the measure of credit, or the borrowing power, should have been prudently limited. Although commercial affairs do not appear to have been tainted with any of the recklessness of the stock market, but rather to have been con ducted with becoming caution—for there were no signs of overstocking markets and large speculative movements, but the reverse—it is evident that the commercial community must have been hampered to an inconvenient extent by the curtailment of cus tomary banking accommodation, consequent on the' high bidding for money in the market against them by railway boards, and the enormous absorption of the funds which else would have been at the disposal of the banks for answering the legitimate demands of commerce and industry. It is evident from the returns of the City Banks, publislfed weekly, and brought down to the sth inst., inclusive, that so far as New York is concerned, the amount of loans at nearly 94 millions of dollars, showing an actual increase of 4 or 5 millions, must include and re present a very heavy weight of advances on rail way stocks not readily realisable in the existing state of the stock market, although originally loaned upon, no doubt, with what was considered a sufficient margin of price against any probable depreciation. The banks, therefore, must con tinue to be the holders in cases where those who have lodged them as security, direct or collateral are not able to redeem. Otherwise the position of the cranks cannot be deemed unfavourable, since collectively their stock of specie had been increased to the date mentioned above to nearly 14i millions of dollars, (nearly one million less, however, than July 29, the week before), against two months before about 10 millions. Their note circulation, moreover, does not exhibit any sign of being in excess at over nine mil lions of dollars, which has been about the average for nearly a year past. The deposits meanwhile show a large addition at nearly 76i millions, or about four millions more than they were two mouths before, and twenty millions or more beyond their amount at the same time last year. The corn trade was heavy to-day, and prices were 2s. per quarter lower for wheat. All other sorts of grain were heavy. About 200 quarters of new wheat were on sale in middling condition. The letters of allotment of the Turkish loan were, it is understood, delivered this morning, which of course gave an impetus to the transac tions. It readily found buyers at 5 and 5i premium. The attempt to discredit the power, however, of allocating the Egyptian tribute by parties in Paris claiming to have a prior lien upon that fund, have been met promptly by a letter from M. Musurus, the Turkish Envoy, by which it appears to be incontestably demonstrated, that those parties could have no such pretension -4, inas much as the contract upon which they were founded, and which they had " failed" to fulfil, had been "cancelled" upon their own formal request, to be exonerated from " their engage ments." The dealings in English Stocks have been limited this morning, and prices rather in decline. This is attributable, no doubt, to parties realising their profits, which was to be expected after the rise of Saturday. Consols opened at 941 to 94k, but since have been done at 94 for money, while for account the quotations have ranged from 94i to 94k. The New 31 per Cents. have been done at 94R- and 95k, and the 3 per Cents. 94k- to 94g. Exchequer Bills ls. discount to ls. premium. The Foreign Stock Market is generally heavy, and the quotations rather flatter. Peruvian Four and-a-Half per Cents. are firmer, however, at 72, but Spanish Deferred are weak at 18 i ; Dutch Two-and-half per Cents. at 62, and the Four per Cents. at 94.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were very scantily supplied with wheat, both old and new. For all kinds, however, the demand was in a very sluggish state, and prices had a downward tendency. The barley trade was heavy, on same terms. Oats, beans, peas, and flour were neglected. The continental markets have been dull and drooping, although the stocks of all articles have become much re duced. The latest advices from New York state that grain and flour were tolerably firm. Up to our market, last week, the arrivals of English grain were small. From abroad we received 6,929 quarters of wheat, 2,600. barley, 5,155 oats, 5,472 beans, 412 pea; 1,278 tares, 13,688 linseed, 161 rapeseed, 338 sundry seeds, 310 sacks, and 6,567 barrels of flour. A very limited supply of old English wheat was received fresh up to our market to-day, coastwise and by land-car riage. The receipts of new amounted to about 200 quar ters, chiefly from Essex, and in but middling condition. As the attendance of both town and country millers was sm all, the demand for all kinds ruled heavy, at a decline in the prices obtained on Monday last of 2s. per quarter. The new wheat changed hands at from 58s to 72s per quar ter, the latter figure being for Telavera. For forward de livery very little was doing. Notwithstanding that the show of foreign wheat was comparatively small, all descriptions were a dull inquiry, and 2s. per qu&rter cheaper than on this day se'ennight. Thor() were very few floating cargoes on offer, and we heard of no transactions in them. New English bai ley, the quality of which was indiffer. ent, sold at from 30s. to 31s. per quarter. Foreign was dull, and rather cheaper. We had a very slow inquiry for all kinds of malt, at barely last week's currency. Very few fresh oats were brought forward, yet the oat trade was heavy, at barely the late decline in value. Scarcely any English beans were in the market ; but the supply of Egyptian was good. Sales progressed slowly, at barely late rates. A few parcels of new white peas, in fair condition, were brought forward. So little business was doing that prices were almost nominal. The flour trade was heavy, and the quotations had a downward tendency. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

We were tolerably well supplied with foreign beasts and sheep to-day ; but the show of foreign calves was very limited. The arrivals of beasts fresh up to this morning's market 1 from our own grazing districts were on the increase as to 9 numbers, but very deficient in quality. The attendance `g of countrybuyers being comparatively small, the beef trade was in a sluggish state. Prices, however, were well sup ported, and several good and prime Scots realised 5s per 81 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 2,100 shorthorns ; from other parts of 1 England, 600 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 90 `4 horned and polled Scots. t( There was a failing off in the supply of sheep, compared with Monday last ; but the general quality of the stock was good. All breeds sold steadily, at very full prices. ; The best old Downs realised :Is per 81bs. We were fairly supplied with lambs, which moved off freely, at extreme rates, viz., 4s 2d to 5s 4d per 81bs. Although the supply of calves was limited, the veal trade was heavy, at barely the late decline in value. The best 1 calves were worth only 4s 4d per 81bs. The pork trade was in a very inactive state, on former 1 terms. The imports of foreign stock into London last week were moderately good. Tho total supply amounted to 9,703 head. In the corresponding week in 1853 we re ceived 10,973 ; in 1852, 13,005 ; in 1851, 10,101; in 1850, 7,212 ;in 1849, 4,987 ;in 1848, 5,127 ; and in 1847, 5,033 1 head. IMPORTS INTO LONDON LAST WEEK.

The latest " advices" from York are calculated to in crease the speculations of a meeting of surpassing inte rest and importance. Up to last night, indeed, few horses had arrived, but the demand for stabling accom modation was rapidly becoming more frequent and pressing. Among the horses which were located in Old Ebor when my " despatch" was closed were Hospodar, Ivan, and Tros. The intelligence which I received was, however, somewhat scanty and uninteresting, " my com missioner" closing his brief letter of advice with the laconic remark that " Tros looks well." The condition of the course is most satisfactory, and indeed no trouble has evidently been spared to render the ground "good going." The Grand Stand, too, has been enlarged and fresh painted, and the work of pre paration has been carried on under the personal super intendence of Mr. W. North. The most important and interesting event on the first day will be the North and South Biennial Stakes, which last year were run for by two-yrs-old at Good wood, and were won by Marsyas, who then beat Scythian and King Tom. Whether, however, he is destined to achieve the double victory is somewhat doubtful. Turfites have had no opportunity of giving a definite opinion as to his present form, for his only performance this year was for the Derby ; and a few mouths prior to that race he had been notoriously amiss. King Tom will perhaps, as I stated on Saturday, be withdrawn, and his stable companion, Middlesex, will doubtless do battle for Baron Rothschild. Which horse will be selected as the trusted representative of Scott's lot is difficult to determine. Dervish may be reserved either for the Great Yorkshire Stakes on Friday, or saved and " bolted up" exclusively for the St. Leger. Either Scythian or Acrobat may therefore be the cham pion for Whitewall. Both have a penalty of 3lbs., but should both start, I shall with Alfred Day unhesitatingly prefer Acrobat to Scythian. From the " unpenalised" division, I shall select Ivan and Middlesex, and should John Scott make any mistake with respect to his lot, I shall expect ono of them to achieve the victory. Virago has an engagement in the Yorkshire Oaks, and only one opinion exists as to the formidableness of her chance. The stake is worth winning, and it is, there. fore, probable she will contest it. Midsummer and Meteora are also nominated for this event, but it is yet uncertain whether the "flyer" will not frighten them from the field. Midsummer will doubtless defeat Meteora, but it is questionable whether she will for an instant be capable of jeopardising the success of Virago. Curiosity respecting Groculus Esurieus may be gratified on Wednesday, as he is nominated for the Convivial Stakes. In well-informed quarters, how ever, his starting is spoken of as extremely doubtful. Oulston is also atnongthe entries, and should he be brought out the race will be regarded with peculiar interest. Bonnie Morn, however, is my present " fancy ;" he will doubtless, after all, be the intended of John Scott's nominations. For the Chesterfield Handicap I shall couple Domino and Boddicot as being "dangerous,"and shall' be inclined to place some confidence in the chance of that one which will carry the money of the confederated owners, Messrs. Barber and Saxon. Ammonia, however, despite her 71bs. penalty, will be a most formidable competitor. For the Burgundy Stakes I shall select Vindex. To-morrow I will extend my remarks to the other items contained in the programme. Since Saturday no important movement has turned the tendency of specu lation on the Ebor Handicap. This day, however, at " The Corner," some decided demonstration will perhaps be made. I shall closely watch the market, and will to-morrow indicate the most important movements, and endeavour to determine the relative chances. August 21. A FRESH MAN.

SUICIDE IN A RAILWAY CARRIAGE.—LINCOLN, Aug. 18.—Yesterday afternoo n b e t ween t h ree an d f our o ' clock upon the carriage cleaner belonging to the Midland Company at Lincoln opening a compartment in one of their first-class carriages discovered the lifeless body of a gentleman. Ho was ying on the bottom of the carriage on his face; there was lying on the floor au empty ounce phial, which had evidently contained prussic acid. There was also a razor lying near thereto ; the upper and back part of both the linings of his boots had been recently cut away, as if with the purpose of preventing his being recognised. A first-class ticket dated August 17, Birmingham to Derby, was found upon him, thus showing that he must have left Birmingham by the train which leaves that station at 11.20 p.m. on the 16th inst., en route for Lincoln. He was of the middle height, and rather a fine figure ; was attired in a plain black cloth suit and black over-coat ; he bad an edition of " Paley's Natural Theology" lying open ; also a carpet bag con taining some linen, none of which was marked, neither was that on his person, with the exception of what would appear to be a J., such as is generally inserted by the washerwomen, with a single piece of thread ; neither was his umbrella, nor hat or gloves marked. Upon his person was found two sovereigns and four shillings in silver, a watch key, but no watch, and be twixt his shirt and flannel was found a locket of hair. He appears to be betwixt 35 and 40 years of age, of very agreeable and intellectual cast of countenance. He is one who has evidently moved in a very respectable sphere of life. A jury was empanelled last night . at the Blue Anchor Inn in this city , before Mr. Hutchins, coroner, and, as a matter of course, the inquest has been adjourned until Monday next, on which day, should he not meanwhile be recognised, he will be in terred. The carriage in which he was found formed one of the mail train which reaches Lincoln from London, &c., at 4.55 a.m., and which does not leave until 8.30 p.m. FALL OP A WORKHOUSE AND Lots OF LIFE. Yesterday morning, during the hours of divine service, the greater portion of the workhouse at King's Lynn fell to the ground with a tremendous crash. One old man named Coney was taken out of the ruins dead, and at the time when our correspondent sent off his despatch the body of Mr. Nelson, the governor, had not been extricated, and as his voice has not been heard, it was supposed that life was extinct. The building which has fallen dated from about the 14th century, and though supported by enormous b u tt resses, apparently of vast strength, fears had been for sometime felt with regard to its stability. The central tower rose to about 80 feet, and was one of th e mos t conspicuous objects in the town. On Saturday l as t an exam i nation of the building had taken pl ace , a t w hi c h i t had been resolved to call in an architect to make a further inspection. During the night, some o f th e i nmates are said to . have heard a crackling noise repeatedly occurring. In the morning the dock stopped, and an old man who saw pieces of mortar falling, went out into the yard, and persuaded the other inmates to follow him. At the same time the girls were at church, and the boys sitting in front of the building, whilst the women were in the modern part. Mr. Nelson, the governor, attended by Mr. Andrews, clockmaker, went up to the clock tower to see what was amiss, and while they were there the fall took place. They were carried down amongst an immense mass of material, with severa l o ld m en, who were extri cated comparatively uninjured, and whose escape 11 t s miraculous. Had the fall taken place during the.nt night the loss of life would have been very serious. Alks the loss of life would have been far greater, except for the circumstance of the Rev. J. Barnsl e y , the chairman of the Board of Guardians, having cau to s ed the most dangerous part of the building be cleared of its inmates that morning. 22 Aug., 1853. 1Aug.21,1854. s. d. s. d. \s. d. s. d 3 oto 3 4 , 3 4to 3 6 3 6 3 B'3 S 4 0 Prime large oxen ... 310 4 0 2 4 1 Prime Scots, dm 4 2 4 414 10 5 0 Coarse and inferior sheep ... 3 4 3 8 3 6 3 8 Second quality ditto .. ... 310 4 2'3 10 4 0 Prime coarse woolled ditto ... 4 4 4 6'4 2 4 8 Prime Southdown ditto .. 4 8 5 04 10 5 0 Lambs ... . 4 6 5 6!4 2 5 4 Large coarse calves ... 3 4 4 6 3 0 3 8 Prime small ditto ... 4 8 4 1013 10 4 4 Large hogs ... 3 0 3 6,'3 0 4 2 Neat small porkers ... 3 8 4 o'4 4 4 8 Beasts... ... 5,299 4,822 Sheep ... 30,910 28,960 Calves... ...347 262 455 SUPPLIES ON SALE, Aug 23, 1852.—Beasts, 4,827 ; sheep and lambs, 33,760; calves, 399 ; pigs, 245.

As the mould appears to be on the increase in some plan tations, our market has become firm, at full prices, and the duty is fluctuating between 50,0001. and 60,0001. Last week's imports were very extensive, viz.-43 bales from Copenhagen, 95 from Ostend, 85 from Antwerp, 16 from Dunkirk, 69 from Rotterdam, 715 from Hamburgh, and 3 from Limerick.

Since Monday last, the arrivals of home-grown potatoes have been on an extensive scale, and, for the most part, in fair condition. All kinds have met a dull inquiry. Regents have sold at from 70i to 85s ; and Shams, 55s to 70s per ton. The imports last week amounted to 13 sacks from Cork, and 4 baskets from Rotterdam. WOOL. Since the close of the public sales, the demand for foreign and colonial wool by private contract has been far from active; yet prices are well supported. English wools are held firmly, and the quotations must be considered a shade dearer. Last week's imports into London were-2,4 bales from Sydney, 49 from Haraburgh, 820 from Hobart Town, 39 from Buenos Ayres, 645 from Port Philip, 600 from Bombay, and 300 from other quarters. The following are the current rates of English wool : Down tags, is Od to is lid ; half-breds, ilid to la Oid; ewes, clothing, lid to is Od ; Kent fleeces, is to is lid combing skins, lid t o i s i d ; flannel wool, lid to is id ; blanketu 001, 8d to is Id ; and Leicester fleeces, lld to is o,id per lb.

Randers Oratorio " Jeptha." Ifandel' 3 O ratori. " Deborah." N ove ll o ' s e di t i ons. The indefatigable Mr. Novello has added two more oratorios to his series. By th ese editions, in vocal score, with a separate accompaniment forAhe organ or pianoforte, simply arranged, the greatest works of the greatest masters are placed within the means and the abilities of the lovers of music, to whom otherwise they might be unattainable. Cherubini's " Treatise on Counterpoint and Fugue" has appeared in Novello's " Library for the diffu sion of Musical Knowledge." It has been trans lated from the original French by Mrs. Cowden Clarke—the musical portion having been super vised by Mr. Pittman, the organist of Lincoln's inn. A memoir of the author is prefixed. A " Treatise on Choir and Chorus Singing," by F. J. Fetis, the Chapelmaster to the King of the Belgians, has been translated by the Rev. T. Helmore, and affords much valuable information on the arrangements and formation of choruses, the classification of voices, &c. The fifteenth of the series of Novello's edition of " Mozart's Masses " presents us with the celebrated Requiem, always doubly interesting from the romance at tending its composition. It is arranged on the same plan as the Oratorios. Novello's " Analysis of Vocal Rudiments" is a little work in the favourite form of question and answer. It has the following appropriate quotation from Shakspere for a motto : " I must begin with rudiments of art To teach you gamut in a briefer sort, More pleasant, pithy, and effectual, Than b a th b een taught b y any of my tra d e : And there it is in writing fairly drawn." It seems a pity, however , to havep ublished this useful and inst ruct i ve little catechism in the style co o af f u sm t e h o e t oe perplexin g ebe(agratefulnold-fashionedh S.

Songs from a Work, entitled "An _Evening with Byron. Composed by George Linley. Camp. bell and Ransford. These songs offer peculiar attractions. The words of Byron have always been favourite subjects, and, in the present instance they are very happily com bined with graceful and pathetic melodies. Among those of a plaintive and melancholy character, we may mention—" When we two parted," " Though the Day of my Destiny's over," and " Farewell, if ever fondest Prayer." The words of these are all well-known, and the music is very well adapted to them, being expressively simple in its character. "To Horse! to Horse !" is an effec tive and striking song, chiefly suited for a gentle man. Lady vocalists who are not desirous of quite so much sentiment as the others we have cited, cannot fail to be charmed with a song entitled " Away, ye gay Landscapes," which consists of the first and last verses of the spirited address to "Dark Loch-na-gar." They are all within moderate com pass, and not sufficiently elaborate to deter any from their study. LITERATURE. Travels on the Shores of the Baltic, extended to Moscow. By S. S. Hill. Hall and Virtue. This book is rather novel in some points. There are two styles of description —one concerning the less-known countries of Northern Europe, the other relating to the places recently made memorable to us in Russia. There is a long account of Moscow, which many may be glad to see. A great deal of information is condensed into this small volume. There is a wide range for observation, and an im portant focus in which the interest may. centre. Vast as is the aggregate of works of this class, the same subject may be viewed differently by two per sons, and thus something desirable may be met with in any of them in which care and attention have been bestowed to record the impressions and recall the circumstances that occurred during the junc ture of the author's sojourn in foreign capitals. The Brief Career ; or, The Jew's Daughter. A. Novel. By Captain Horrocks. 3 vols. Newby. As may be surmised from the title of this work, it is of a melancholy and sombre description. The hero's career was indeed brief, but it could not be called " bright and glorious." The events of the story are very well described, and they may con vey a solemn warning to many thoughtless and im prudent ones, who are led away by designing per sons, partly from love of pleasure, and also from want of resolution and principle to keep from temptation. The plot is too elaborate to attempt to give an outline of. The heroine, Carlotta, is an interesting charact e r, f ar diff eren t from her rival, the courtly Lady Edith. The simple and inexpe rienced daughter of the people possessed a native dignity and self-respect, while the polished and self-complacent votary of fashion trusted to her own vanity and resolution to carry her through the awful struggle, and she failed completely and sig nally. The concluding scene is very exciting, and after a life of frivolity and unworthy actions, the unfortunate and misguided Gerard Quintin met with a death of grandeur. He met his end in a noble and self-sacrificing spirit, in endeavouring to save Carlotta. The last minutes of his life threw- a brightness over his memory. " They were hurried to eternity amid the roar of waters, and the crashing of the ice-blocks." In the solemnity and sublimity of such a scene the mean and the paltry might well disappear, and thus the intrinsic nobility of Gerard's nature was triumphant in the last great test of human actions —the hour of death. A Manual for Articled Clerks. By J. S. Wharton, M.A., Barrister-at-Law. Butterworth. The fact of this being the seventh edition of this little compendium sufficiently proves its utility. It contains courses of study in " Common Law, Conveyancing, Equity, Bankruptcy, and Criminal Law, and in Constitutional, Ecclesiastical, Colo nial, and International Laws, and Medical Juris prudence." It also affords a digest of all the ex amination questions, with the forms of articles of clerkship, notices, ahidavits, (tc., and a list of the proper stamps and fees. It has been re-written and enlarged since the earlier editions and newly arranged. It is divided into two parts, with various subdivisions. The first part treats of the five branches of Common Law, and gives an analysis of all the examination questions from 1836 to 1854. This must prove a valuable assistant to the student. The second part is devoted to the consideration of constitutional, Roman, civil, a n d ecclesiastical law, with a chapter on medical jurisprudence. An Appendix, at the conclusion, gives a sketch of the career of an articled clerk, and the duties attached to it. To those practically unacquainted with the study of the law, this work will afford valuable information respecting the best method of study, the authorities to be consulted, and the nature of the various forms to be complied with at the outset. The Law of Turnpike Roads. By G. C. Ake. Butterworth. The author of this work informs us that it is eighteen years since any new work on this subject has appeared. Since that period many changes have been made, and consequently there has been much need of a more modern arrangement. This volume contains the general acts now in force, the recent acts introduced, with cases, notes, &c., and an extensive index. it has been arranged in a simple and practical manner, and from the mode of compilation, and the elaborate notes and index, it will, no doubt, be found to be a valuable work of reference, owing to the facility for finding any clause, &c., required. Tables for Seamen's Wages. By John Wilson. Neely. This work co ns i s t s of calcu lating series of tables for calcu latin seamen's wages ' both by time and money. It struck the author as singular that while every kind of commercial calculation was assisted by tables, there was no such assistance afforded to the pay offices of mercantile marine. It was the practical experiences of the difficulties met with, and the great labour occasioned by them, in the pay office of the Royal Mail Steam-packet Company that in duced the author to compile a set of tables for his own use, to diminish the toil required. He found, however, that it would bo too extensive and useful to be reserved for private use, and therefore having rendered it more complete, though simple in its form, ho has offered it to the public, feeling con vinced that those for whom it is intended will do.. jive the greatest assistance from it. He has adopted the calendar month throughout , an d laments the great d iversit y of p racti ce on this point which produces many misunderstandin g the work more comp lete, a table for leap-year To make has b een added.
