MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Very little alteration can be noted this morning in monetary affairs, which still remain unsettled, and disco unters appear loth to enter into frenetic tons of magnitude, in case another one per cent, be added to the official minimum quotation. The de mand this morning for accommodation is moderate, but as the bill-brokers show a reluctance for new business the greater number of applicants go to the Bank of England. The directors of the recently projected Imperial Yal Privileged Union Bank of Austria have notified that the subscriptions of the several appli clots for shares will be returned in full, in conse quence of unforseen difficulties having presented themselves to the carrying out the undertaking in a satisfactory manner. Forty thousand sovereigns were taken out of the Bank on Saturday for transmission to Alexandria. Generally speaking, the condition of trade in the manufacturing districts during the past week has not been of a very favourable character. At Man chester the market has suffered from the fact that the estimates recently given of next year's cotton supply have disturbed confidence. The uncertain state of the money market has also influenced buyers to assum e a more cautious policy. This last cir cumstance has also tended to interfere with busi ness at Huddersfield, Leeds, and Leicester. Manu facturers, however, at Birmingham, Sheffield, and olverhampton have not experienced any abate ment in their orders either from the uountry or abroad, and great activity consequently continues to prevail in every branch of industry. Two O'CLOCK. At the Paris Bourse this day, according to Mr. Renter's telegram, the French 3 per Cent. Renters Were 67f. 25c.—Inanimate. Very little speculation has been going on to-day in the market for public securities, but owing to the unsettled feeling generally engendered by the aspect of monetary and political affairs, a few sales have been efficted, and prices have tended down wards. Consols are 1-16th lower---viz., 924 t- for money, and 911 1, less the dividend, for the account. The New Threes and Reduced Annuities are 90t Exchequer Bills Bs. to 4s, dis; Bank Stock is 206. India 5 per Cents. are marked 1088; and the En faced 52 per Cents., 115. A general decline has taken place in the values of the principal Foreign Securities and business is dull. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1862, are 70:1 711 ; do., Consolides 471 48; Greek Ala ; do., Coupons 144 15 ; Mexican, 38 1 ; Spanish Passive, 338 e ; do., Certificates, to 121 131 ; Portuguese, 48-1- 49; the New Loan to 1 prem. ; and the Cunfederate Loan, 59 61. Business in the Railway Share Market continues very dull, the dealers and speculators being chiefly engaged with the liquidation of the half-monthly account, and quotations generally are a Blade flatter. The Foreign and Colonial lines remain inactive at about former prices. Bank Shares continue inactive, without material Change as regards values. In the Miscellaneous Market the operations en tered into has led to a material alteration in prices. BRITISH. FUNDS—ONE O'CLOCK. Rank Stock a 1 per Cent.

MARKETS--This Day. MARK-LANE. The trade for English wheat in the country markets, held op Saturday, ruled firm, and, in some instances, selected parcels changed hands at rather more money. Malting barley was in steady request, at full quotations. The oat trade was moderately active, and prices were well supported. Flour changed hands to a fair extent, at quite previous rates. On the Continent the wheat trade is firm, and most de scriptions of spring corn command former prices. Advices from New York report no improvement in the export de mand for wheat, flour, or maize. There were increased arrivals of English grain up to our market last week. The imports from abroad amounted to 20,378 quarters of wheat, 11,878 barley, 31,398 oats, 480 rye, 1,946 beans, 582 peas, 1,629 tares, 10,924 linseed, 7,914 oilseeds, 11,844 maize, 220 sundry seeds-216 sacks and 6,179 barrels of flour. Fresh up to Mark. lane,to-day, the arrivals of home-grown wheat were very moderate, and a considerable proportion of the supply was received in but middling condition. For good and fine produce there was a steady demand, and nearly the whole was disposed of at the full prices current on Monday last. Inferior qualities, however, sold heavily, and the whole of the supply was not disposed of at the close of business, although it was freely offered, at previous quo tations. There was a fair average show of samples of foreign wheat on the stands. Most descriptions changed hands to a mode • rate extent, but the trade, generally speaking, was less ac tive than on Friday last. The prices realised exhibited no alteration from those current this day se'nnight. Floating cargoes of wheat were in moderate request at full quotations. Maize ruled firm, and other kinds of grain afloat sup ported former rates. The supply both of English and foreign barley was mode rately large, good and fine malting qualities were in steady request at extrema to, in some instances, slightly enhanced rates. Inferior malting parcels, including grinding and distilling produce, moved off slowly at previous currencies. The malt trade was steady, most qualities being in fair average request, at full prices. _ _ . _ . With oats the market was moderately supplied. On the whole the demand ruled steady, and in some instances good and fine corn changed hands at 6d. per quarter more money than on Monday last. The supply of beans was moderate and the demand ruled inactive on former terms. . Peas moved off slowly, yet no change took place in their value. The show of samples was by no means extensive. With barrel flour, the market was but moderately sup plied. The demand ruled steady st 21s. Gd. for extra stale and at 22a. 6d. for superior marks. Town and country made qualities were in fair average request, at late quota tions.

The import into London last week was confined to 603 bales from Port Philip, and to a few small parcels from continental ports. POLICE INTELLIGENCE—This Day. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A WOMAN CHARGED WITH A MURDEROUS ASSAULT ON A Boy.—Ann Connor, hawker, was charged before Mr. Selfe with the following savage assault on a little boy named Alfred Fisher, son of Mr. Fisher, a fishmonger in Oxford Market. A certificate signed by the house surgeon of the Middle sex Hospital (Mr. G. E. Pyle) was handed to Mr. Selfe to the effect that the boy in consequence of his injuries was unable to attend the court. Charles Player, 309 A, said—On Saturday evening about half-past 8 I saw a large crowd assembled at the end of Itathbone-place, in Oxford-street, The prisoner was being detained by some gentlemen who told me that she had seized a little boy by the throat, thrown him down, and then held him on the ground by his throat. I picked up the boy, and he at first said he was not much hurt, but afterwards fainted, and on examining his throat 1 found finger marks. I them sent the boy to a doctor's, and took the prisoner, who was drunk, to the station. The boy was afterwards brought to the station in a cab by his father to the prisoner. Mr. Selte—llow old is the boy ? Player—About 10, sir. The boy was afterwards taken to the Middlesex Hospital, where on inquiry this morning I was informed the boy was a little better. George Haines, a lad living at 29, Wells-street, Oxford street, said—On Saturday evening I saw the prisoner, who was drunk, fall down. I picked her up, and some boys passing touched her basket. She then ran after the boys, but not succeeding in catching them, she seizad the little boy (Alfred Fisher) by the throat and fell with him, but still retained her grasp so tightly that some gentlemen were obliged to beat her to make her release her hold, she all the while trying to bite the boy, who was quite black in the face, his tongue protruding from his mouth. Thinking the buy's life was in danger, I ran for a constable. Mr. Selfe—Constable, did the doctor say when the boy would be able to attend ? Player—He did not, sir. Mr. Selfe—l shall remand the prisoner for a week. WESTMINSTER. ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO ROB TIIE SOUTH KENSINGTON MUSEUM.—THE ADVANTAGE OF CHARACTER,—A very respectable hardworking-looking man, 25 years of age, who gave his name James Payne, was placed at the bar charged with going to the South Kensington Museum, and there concealing himself with a view to commit a robbery. Police-constable 61 B said that at eight o'clock on Satur day night he was on duty at the South Kensington Museum, when, on passing through the Trades' Department, he ob • served a shadow under a stall where there are some furs, and upon closer observation discovered the prisoner con cealed upon the floor, and immediately took him into custody. Mr. Partridge—What did ho say ? Witness—He said he had lost a pencil• case there on th• Monday previously, any was looking for it when I disco vered him. . _ Mr. Partridge—Were there many people in the museum at the time you took the prisoner. Witness—Yes, a great many. Mr. Partridge—What did ho appear to be doing when you last saw him P Witness —He was sitting in the position of a tailor and as soon as he saw me he crawled out. Mr. Partridge—Has he given any account of himself ? Witness—He said he was a labourer at the Great Western Railway, and gave an address. /sir. Partridge—Did you make any inquiries about the truth of these statements? Witness —I did, and they are both correct. Police-constable, 280, B—l saw the prisoner on Monday last on the floor on his hands and knees at the museum. Mr. Partridge—What did he say then ? Witness —Ho said he had dropped his pencil-case, and was looking for it. • Mr. Partridge—Was there anything lying about near where you saw him that he could steal ? Witness —Nothing. Prisoner —The pencil-case was given to 1319 by a particu lar friend, and I very much prized it in consequence. I went to the South Kensington Museum on Tuesday, and when I was there, on taking something out of my pocket, I dropped the pencil-case, and tried to find it then, but could not. I was unable to go again till Saturday, when I thought I would have another look for the pencil-case, when I was taken into custody. I had no idea of stealing anything, and have my uncle here to prove what my cha racter is. ........... ...... John Askell, the uncle, said that the prisoner had throughout his life borne the highest character. Mr. Partridge—The officer did perfectly right in taking you into custody, prisoner; but it is just possible that your account may be true—that you had dropped your pencil case, and were looking for it. It is a case of suspicion, but there is no evidence ox which I can detain you. You ses the advantage of a good character. You are discharged. LITERATURE, The New Monthly Magazine. IThe interesting but melancholy story by the authoress of " East Lynne" is brought to a conclu sion in this number. " Th© Shadow of Ashlydyat" vanishes as the record of the sorrows and fortunes of the Godolphins comes to an end. The gentle Maria pays with her life the forfeit of her husband's errors, and he is forced to start on his new life in India, with the additional grief of knowing that he had sacrificed his wife as well as his estate and his reputation to his mad folly. The story is better and more carefully written than some of Mrs. Wood's earlier works, but it is too much spnn out, and some parts are forced and improbable. " The Saturnalia of a Republic" recalls some of the more ghastly features of the Reign of Terror. The singu lar inconsistency by which thoTu who up to 1789 " had no other words in their mouths save humanity and philanthropy, once conquerors, spoke of nothing but revenge and murder." They had exhausted their anathemas in denouncing the maxim, " The end justifies the means;'' that very maxim became, once in power, their only symbol of faith. Sir Nathaniel takes in consideration the varied career of General Monk in a lengthened essay, enriched, as is usual with this writer, with copious extract and illustration. The prospects of the new tea country of India is discussed in a paper entitled " The Sani tarium of Darjeeling; its Present Condition and Future Prospects." The author of " Granville de Vigne" has commenced another story, founded we suppose on the old French and Byronic model. His heroes are misunderstood the very souls of generosity and honour—according to their own code. His heroines are divided between desperate and unscrupulous schemers, to whom the worst crimes is the decalogue would not offer a moment's obstacle, and sprightly enthusiastic maidens wh• treat the convenances de la societe with sublime scorn, and whose one ruling passion in life is un questioning devotion to the lofty heroes aforesaid. The conversation between the lovers is full of no thing but love and honour, but they contrive to act somewhat questionably notwithstanding. N ic h o l as Michell contributes a poem on progress, full of spirit and sense. There are several other papers of varying merits, among them being a tribute to the memory of the veteran Lord Lyndhurst. Policy of the Emperors Napoleon I, and 111, Those who think that Napoleon 111, takes as his model the policy of his uncle will be struck with the extract from Les Idees Napoleoniennes which I append. I may premise that the uncle also con cocted a scheme of European Federation, and post poned the " crowning of the edifice" with Liberal institutions till that great work was completed, as will be seen by the preface to the " Acta additional," quoted by the nephew. "My object was," said Napoleon 1., " To organise a grand federative system in Europe, I adopted it as conformable to the spirit of the age, and as favourable to the progress of civilisation. In order to complete it, and give it all the extent and all the stability of which it was capable, I postponed the establishment of several internal institutions more especially intended to protect the liberty of the citizens." Napoleon 111. comments on the above in a chap ter with this motto, "It is not merely the ashes, but the ideas of the Emperor that should be brought back to France," and headed " Object at which the Emperor aimed—European association—liberty in France." He says : "`then the fortune of arms made Napoleon mas ter of the greater part of the Continent he wished to make his conquests serve for the establishment of an European confederation. Prompt in availing himself of the tendency to civilisation, the Empe ror accelerated its progress by forthwith executing what was enveloped in the secret decrees of Pro vidence. His genius enabled him to foresee that the rivalry which separated the diffe rent nations of Europe would disappear in pre sence of a well-understood common interest. The more perfect the world becomes the more the barriers which divide men are removed, the more there are countries which identical in terests tend to unite. The idea of the Emperor was to replace the state of nature among the nations of Europe by a social state. All his political plan tended to that immense result; but in order to ar rive at it it was necessary to induce England and Russia to support his views frankly. As long as war goes on in Europe, said Napoleon it will be a civil war. The Holy Alliance is an ideastolen from me—that is to say, the holy alliance of peoples by Kings, and not that of Kings against peoples ; that is the immense difference between his idea and the manner in which it was realised. Napoleon had displaced Sovereigns in the interest of peoples; in 1815 peoples were displaced for the special interest of Sovereigns. The statesmen of that period cherishing only their own grudges and passions, founded on European equilibrium on the rivalry of the great Powers, instead of establishing them on general interests, and for that reason their system crumbled to pieces in every direction. The policy of the Emperor, on the contrary, consisted in found ing a solid European association by basing his sys tem on nationalities and on general interests. If fortune had not abandoned him he would have bad all the means in his hands of constituting Europe. He kept in reserve entire countries , o f which he might dispose in order to attain his object. Dutch, Romans, Pie amonteee, inhabitants of Bremen and of Hamburg—all you who were astonished at find ing yourselves French, you will re.enter the atmosphere of nationalities suited to your an tecedents and to your position; and France relinquishing the rights which victory gave her over you w ill in her own interest, for her inteest cannot be sepa rated from that of civilised nartions. In order to cement an European association the Emperor, ac cording to his own words, adopted an European code—an European C ourt of Cessation, correcting errors for all, as the French Court of Cessation cor rects the errors of French tribunals. He would have founded an Europ ean institute to animate, direct, and combine a ll learned societies in Europe. The uniformity of co iv, we ights, and measures—the tini formity of leg islation w ould have been obtained by his powerful intervention. The last great transfor-- ma ti on would then have been accomplished for our continent. And in the same manner as communal interests were elevated above individual interes ts, as the interests of the city were elevated above t h os e of the commune, the inte res t s province above those of the city, of the and, finally, the interests of the nation above those of the province—in the same way European interests would have predominated over national interests, and human ity would have been satisfied, f or Providence could not wish a nation not to be prosperous except a t the expense of others, and th at there should be conquerors and vanquished, and not reconciled mem bers of the one great family. The Napoleonian Eu rope once founded, the Emperor would have pro ceeded in France to the establishment of peace. lie would have consolidated liberty. He had merely to destroy the meshes of the net he had formed. The government of Napoleon more than any other could support liberty for this sole reason—that liberty would have consolidated his throne, while it over throws thrones whose foundation is not solid. Liberty would have consolidated his govern ment, because Napoleon would have estab lished in Prance all that ought to precede liberty --because his government would rest on the mass of the nation—because his interests were the same as those of the people—and because entire confidence prevailed between the governors and, the governed. It is with the impression p roduce d by some delightful dream that one reflects on the happiness and stability which Europo would have r been presented had the last plans of the ra p " accomplished. Each country circumscribed within its natural limits, united to its neighbour by rela tionse of interest and of triendshiP, would have en joyed the blessings of independenc e, S o vereigns, exempt from peace, and liberty in its interior. woul d have applied themselv es fear and suspicion, solely to the impro veme nt of the condition of th e i r people, and to the i n troduction among them of a ll the a d van t a ges of SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.—This Day, (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.) SHREWSBURY RACES.-THIS DAY. SHOBDON COURT STAKES. Lord Burleigh Welland Lufra Three ran. THE POLISH INSURRECTION. KONIGSBERG, Nov. 9. The Ostdeutsch Zeitung says:—"'Notwithstand ing the storms and rains of autumn, the want of seasonable equipment, and the heavy reverses lately sustained, the Poles do not draw back from the work once begun ; and the still animated, active, and crowded life at the scene of operations tell us that much more blood will yet saturate the unhappy land, and thousands fall before this strife of despair And destruction comes to au end." VIENNA, Nov. 9. For some days past the tone of the official and senai-official journals has become more friendly to Russia than hitherto, and it is evident that serious anxiety is entertained with regard to the future. The Wiener Zettung derives its information re specting Poland from the Ostsee Zcitung, while the General Correspondent brings certain charges against the Poles. According to thi s j ournal the failure of the last expedition into Volhy n i a is only to be attributed to discord among the insurgents, which, it says, increased to such an extent " that at last no one knows who should command a n d who should obey." METROPOLITAN CATTLE. There was only a moderate supply of foreign stock on sale in our market to-day. For the most part, the beasts were in but middling condition. The quality of the sheep and calves, however, was good. From our own grazing districts as well as from Ireland and Scotland, the arrivals of beasts were seasonably good as to number, but their general condition was by no means first •rate, if we except those from Scotland, which were remarkably prime. All prime breeds commanded a steady sale at fully last week's prices—the top figure being 5s per 81bs ; otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish state at barely previous rates, and a total clearance was not effected. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 2,200 short-horns, &c. ; from Norfolk, 11 Scots; from other parts of England, 700 various breeds ; from Scotland, 99 Scots and crosses; and from Ireland, 900 oxen and heifers. The show of sheep was rather limited ; bat the quality of most breeds was prime. The best Downs, half -breds, and Lincolns moved off firmly at full currencies—the highest quotation being 5s 8d per 81bs ; but other breeds were a dull inquiry at, in some instances, a decline of 2d per Blbs. Calves were in moderate supply, and sluggish request on former terms. The top price was 4s 8d per 81bs. The pork trade was heavy, and the quotations had a drooping tendency.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH PARRY V. GREAT SHIP COMPANY. 0 In this case a rule had been obtained by the plaintiff against the company, on the ground that the ship had not been kept insured according to the agreement of the com pany with the plaintiff, and therefore he had a right to seize the ship, in satisfaction of a claim of £6,000 he had on the company. The company contended that although the policy of insurance had not been signed, various arrangements had been made which NI as tantamount to an insurance being completed. Mr. M. Smith having been heard in support and Mr Lush for the discharge of the rule, irhe Court thought, under all the circumstances, the rule must be discharged. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. BUILT V. WILDE. This was an action brought by Mrs. Burt, better known as Miss Emma Heywood, against the defendant, Mr. Wilde, the proprietor of the Alhambra Palace, Leicester square, for breach of engagement. From the evidence it appeared that an application was made on the part of the lady for an engagement at the Alhambra Palace as one of the leading vocalists, and a letter was written by the defendant offering an engagment under certain conditions, at the rate of £lO per week, for nine months certain, the defendant to have the exclusive right to the lady's talent and abilities for that period on payment of that salvage. As there were certain arrangement to be made with respect to other pending engagements a corre• spondence ensued between the husband of the plaintiff and the defendant, but in consequence of matters not being arranged Mr. Wilde withdrew from all further nego tiation. Miss Heywood contended that an en gagement had been effected with her, and that the details were the only circu instances upon which a dis agreement had arisen, and that therefore she was entitled to substantial damages for the loss she had sustained in consequence of the act of the defendant. The defendant contended that he had acted in a perfectly fair manner throughout the whole negotiation, andl that he had offered that the difference between them should be settled by the arbitration of any person conversant with the terms of theatrical engagements. This was refused, and the present action was brought. Witnesses having been examined on both sides, The jury gave a verdict for the plaintiff—damages, ZIA SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.)

A general backing took place, and the shaft of defendant's van went through the panel of the 'bus, Mr. Buchanan, for the defendant, contended that his client was compelled to follow in the rank by the police. His Honour—l must hold that the van was too close to the vehicle before it. If the vehicles are so close together that there is no room for backing, I must hold that to be negligence. Mr. Buchanan—lf the drivers keep a respectful distance the police order them to draw up. His Honour—l cannot help the police regulations, but when the parties come here they must take the conse quences. It is well known that in the City the traffic is so close that these accidents are of constant occurrence. Mr. Buchanan—But your Honour will see that we are bound to follow the police orders. Evidence was called to show that the present accident might have arisen through a van blocking up the footway, and his Honour held that the preponderance of evidence was in favour of the plaintiff, adding, that it should be well un d ers tood that where vehicles w ere so c l ose t oge th er it was negligence.

Mr. Dowse appeared in support of a rule calling upon the bankrupt to show cause why ho should not be committed for non payment of a sum of money, as ordered by the Court. The bankrupt was formerly a clerk in the Insol vent Debtors' Court, and subsequently became bankrupt, and on the 22d May last obtained his order of discharge on consenting and undertaking to pay g sum of £4O per year out of his pension for the gradual liquidation of his debts, but six months had elapsed and the bankrupt had not paid any portion, although freq uently called on so to do. His Honour said th e first difficulty w as w h et h er t h e condition being by "consent" of the bankrupt was such a rule or order of the court that the bankrupt could be com mitted for disobedience on non-payment. He thought not ; but it did not follow that the creditors were without a re medy. The Court might be applied to on the ground that the bankrupt was in contempt for nun-performance of the undertaking. Mr. Dowse argued that the cmditions formed part of order of discharge, as it was fully set out in it. —nod was heard in opposition. .-iv refused the applicati on .

EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY BY A TICKET•OF-LEAVE CONVICT.—John Wilmot, a man about 30 years of age, was brought before Mr. Woolrych, charged with attempt ing to steal a gun, with stealing a gold wa t c h va l ue 10 guineas, and with assaulting Francis Middleton, a pawn broker's assistant. Mr. Middleton stated that on Saturday night, at a quarter before 11 o'clock, he was outside the shop of Messrs. Decker and Scarlett, pawnbrokers, in Hereford-place, Com mercial-road, and saw a man endeavouring to take down a valuable gun three feet within the doorway, The prisoner was standing outside in front of the door. As he approached the shop the prisoner gave warning to his confederate, and said " Come away." He called Messrs. Decker and Scarlett's salesman, and told the two men to leave, on which the prisoner gave utterance to a volley of threats and abuse. The prisoner was going away, and on attempting to stop him the prisoner struck him a violent blow on the ear with his fist. The prisoner—Was I not very drunk. Mr. Middleton—No, not at first. When you wore given into custody you appeared to be drunk. Mr. William Brentford, salesman to Decker and Scarlett, gave evidence in confirmation. Mr. Morris Moses, watchmaker and jeweller, of No. 7, Langley-place, Commercial road, said the prisoner came into his shop at half-past five o'clock, and said he wanted to buy a good lever watch. Several were shown to him, and at last a gold lever watch was put into his hands. The prisoner looked at it for a short time, and then ran away with it. He pursued the prisoner, and was stopped by two men in the road. They put their hands before him, cried out " Stop, what is the matter ?" and permitted the prisoner to escape. The gold watch was valued at 10 guineas. Samuel Tobitt, No. 211 11, was in duty in Back Church lane, Whitechapel, on Saturday evening at half-past five o'clock, and saw the prisoner running. Ho gave chase to him and overtook him. He said to the prisoner " What is the matter, Jack ?" to which the prisoner replied "Nothing. I have only given the old woman a smack on the face." He kept the prisoner in custody a quarter of an hour, and was surrounded by a rough and disorderly mob. At last he released the prisoner, and said, " Mind Jack, I know you." The prisoner said, "Yes, I know you do, it's all right." At half-past 11 o'clock I saw the prisoner in the station-house again, and immediately recognised him. The prisoner was a ticket-of-leave convict, and had been convicted of felony several times. Police-Sergeant Barnes, 11 11, said the prisoner's time would not expire until March next. Mr. Woolrych remanded tie prisoner for a week, and gave directions to the police to inform the Homo Secretary of the prisoner's apprehension. •••• SHIPPING—This Day, (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH,) PLYMOUTH, Monday Morning.

Scribe's earliest dramatic works—and which, by-the• bye,was produced about 10 years ago at the old Adelphi Theatre, Mr. and Mrs. Yates and Mr. Wright supporting the leading parts. It must be admitted, however, that Mr. Buckingham has completed his task with ability, skill, and judgment. The leading incident of the piece is one that produces anything but a pleasant reflection ; in fact, the comedy is so intensely French that the wonder is how he could have succeeded so well in adapting it to the tastes of an English audience. The plot may be briefly related as follows :—A certain young man, one Herbert Travanion, having a taste for literature, rejects the offer of an uncle, a wealthy merchant in Bristol, to enter his counting-house, and comes to Lon don to seek his fortune as an author. Arrived in town, he finds fortune -making not so easy an operation as he imagined, and he is doomed to undergo hardships he little expected. However, as a musician he attracts the attention of the Countess of Windermere, one of the leaders of the beau monde, and his fortunes seem to brighten up. Through the influenceofthe CanoudnHteesrsbherist plays become accepted, hi e poems published, Travanion, from an unknown and friendless man, becomes oae of the lions of the day; luxury opens her portals to him, and his dreams of affluence and splendour resolve themselves into reality. Travanion, dazzled by the beauty of the Countess, becomes, as he supposes, deeply in love with her, and the lady's husband, the marquis, being, as she imagines, dead, nothing stands in the way of their marriage. This takes place, and in a short time after, to the consternation of the newly-married pair, a letter ar rives, informing the Countess that her first husband is still ' alive, and that ho will be in London almost immediately. This, of course, renders the second marriage invalid, and Herbert, who has mistaken gratitude, for love, is ready to resign the Countess in favour of his first love, Clara Hazle ton, but the Countess is not so easily resigned to the diffi culties of her situation. Notwithstanding the arrival of her first husband the Countess proposes flight to Her. bert, as he is the only man she really loves. A spell is on Herbert, he knows not which way to turn, when luckily Mr, Caleb Codicil, a bustling, meddling, good natured lawyer, after having involved the unfortunate Herbert still deeper in difficulty, effects an arrangement by which peace and happiness to some, if not to all, is brought about. Herbert marries Clara, and the Countess, recon ciled to the loss of her lover, quits England with her husband for the West Indies. With respect to the acting of the comedy, the performers did not seem to be perfectly in love with their parts. Mr. Howe as the Marquis, and Mr. W. Farren as Herbert, both had what is termed up-hill work of it, and, although now and then there was a telling line or two for them, yet the tone of the characters was unpleasant, and both, to sk great extent, had the audience against them. Mr. Charles Mathews' Caleb Codicil was the life and soul of the piece, in fact, to his inimitable acting was the success of tho comedy mainly indebted. Mrs. Mathews, as the Countess, acted with great intensity, and succeeded in making the part deeply interesting by her fervour and impressiveness. Miss Maria Harris as the innocent little country girl, Clara, acted with the sweetest simplicity. The applause was enthusiastic and general at the fall of the curtain, and after the principals had acknowledged the honour of a call , t he adapter, Mr. Buckingham, had tp wake his bow.

A BEAUTIFUL SPECIMEN OF PHOTCGLYPHIC ENGRAVING ON STEF.L—in other words, a photographic picture on steel—effected solely by the agency of light act ing on certain chemicals.—The specimen, as stated by Mr. Fox Talbot, is quite untouched. It represents an exquisite scene in Java—a ravine and rivulet fringed with bananatrees. Not the least wonderful circumstance connected wh it is, that at least 5,000 cLpies can be taken before the pl a te deteriorates. Such a result, after so many years of labou r , must be for Mr. Fox Talbot a genuine triumph.
