With the few who gathered together, the Handicap for the Grand National Steeplechase at Liverpool was the principal topic of conversation. Much was said for and against it, but the majority of opinions was decidedly in its favour. Sir Peter Laurie, as was pretty generally expected, is saddled with the top weight. Miss Mow bray's friends, nothing daunted by the impost of 1 Ist 91b, capped to her with a display of confidence which caused the odds of 200 to 14, laid at the commencement, to be quickly reduced to 10 to 1. At 12 to 1 upwards of 1701. were invested in her support, and an offer was more than once made to bet 5001. she beats anything in the race. 10 to 1 was taken to 501. about Half-and- Half.

We have pleasure, therefore, in observing that the Cadiz Wine Company, 26, St. James's -street (in their Vade Mecum for this year), ent er f u ll y i nto the cause and probable extension of the disorder, and grapple with the subject in so lucid a manner, that we feel convinced some member of their firm must be personally acquainted with the vineyards and countries of which they treat. To the more scientific of our readers the three illustrations of the blight, at page 7 in the book, cannot but prove acceptable. CAMBRIDGE, THURSDAY EVENING.—ELECTION OF ESQUIRE BEDELL.-Mr. Godfray polled 155 votes against Mr. Roberts, who numbered only 127. Mr. Godfray was accordingly sworn in, and immediately assumed office, LITERA TUBE. Alice Wentworth. 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. The motto of this book contains the sum and substance of the story— " For he through Sin's long labyrinth had run, Nor made atonement when he did amiss, Had sighed to many though he loved but one, And that loved one, alas ! could ne'cr be his." These lines, uninviting though they may appear in detail, and lug u b r i ous i n d escr i p ti on , are the epitome of Alfred Darrell's career. It cannot be pleasing to study such a character, who is without principle, and destitute of any self-control ; but it is interesting to watch how skillfully the author has drawn the different phases of his hero's course, alternately overwhelmed with remorse and fired with the determination to amend, and then again relapsing into his old habits, and stifling the voice of his upbraiding conscience. Yet if Darrell is not a pleasing hero, Alice is a charming heroine. She evinces in an eminent degree that spirit of self-con trol which is so conspicuously wanting in her lover. able was deservi ng o f all praise. Many Her conduct at th e most trying moment con e,eiv might have appealed in private to the sympathy of friends, thus exposing themselves to continual comment and uncongenialremarks, but i 'onlyfew possess the power, like Alice Wentworth, to be silent. Under the mask of a gay life and brilliant entertainments, she hid a broken heart and concealed a sinking spirit. However, there is one drawback to her otherwise faultless conduct—it was her permitting herself to remain under the same roof with Darrell after his previous dishonourable actions. After a time, she bade him depart, never to see her again, but in the mere fact of their meeting in the house of her uncle, a shade is cast over the lofty purity of her former demeanour. It was impossible to be on friendly terms with him, and, therefore, no object was gained by their coining in contact after the lapse of so long a period. One great merit is discernible in the conclusion, namely, Darrell's dying before Lady Emily. The idea of a tardy reconciliation taking place, and the events proceeding as at first pro posed, would have been highly objectionable, and yet it is often so contrived in stories of this sort, after all the parties concerned seem irretrievably alienated, death is introduced as a remover of diffi culties. It must be a source of great satisfaction to all the readers of this clever tale that no hasty repentance and well-timed atonement restored to Darrell the lost object of his regard, and enabled him to taste of that happiness he had forfeited by his own crimes. On earth his sufferings were the only consequences of his errors, his life was a per fect torment to him with his ill-chosen companion, who gave him no rest by her reproaches and regrets. Alice led a single life. After a few y ears she retired to the privacy of a country dwelling, where she endeavoured to forget in peaceful well-doing the sorrows that had befallen her in the commencement of her existence. There are some other less im portant personages in the book, who are ably brought in at different times, and it is a faithful portraiture, on the whole, of some dark passages in human history. Linny Lockwood. By Mrs. Crowe. 2 vols. Routledge. The numerous admirers of " Lilly Dawson," and " Susan Hopley," will welcome with pleasure the announcement of a new work of fiction by Mrs. Crowe. It is, however, inferior to her former works, and, though commenced with vigour and continued with interest, there are some points in it which cannot please. Mrs. Crowe does not excel in depicting heroes ; her forte appears to be the heroines of lowly life. The hero of the present work, Vaughan Edmonstone, does not appear to possess sufficient attractions to account for the mania which seizes the three heroines. He is a weak, contemptible character ; indeed he commits posi tive crimes. He marries Linny, who is the only pleasing character in the tale. He gets into diffi culties, and elopes with Lady Glenlyon, with whom he had previously been acquainted, for what rea son it would be difficult to say. These are the two first heroines, both desperately attached to Vaughan Edmonstone. Linny is foolish in loving him, Lady Glenlyon still more so, and Alice Mearns, the third, is the most foolish of all. She follows him through France (believing him to be unmarried) to lay her fortune at his feet, and when the unfortunate hero shows the only sense of propriety he exhibits in his life, and sends her back again, she grows desperate and drowns herself. This is one of the points we object to, as unnatural, improbable, and not at all agreeable. Our sympathies cannot be enlisted on the side of one who, without the slightest authority for supposing herself preferred, so far forgets all maidenly reserve and feminine propriety. The other incident is still more objectionable. When Vaughan Edmonstone sets off to Germany with Lady Glenlyon, leaving her husband and his wife in Paris, Linny comes to London to support her self. After living with a friend for some mouths, she thinks she will go into service, and accordingly becomes the attendant of a mysterious, penitent, and unhappy lady, whom she subsequently dis covers to be Lady Glenlyon. She, however, re mains with her, and attends her on her deathbed. This is a most unpleasing arrangement, entirely wanting in good taste. But when, after this, Linny goes to Germany to join her husband, and there becomes acquainted with the episode of Alice Mearns, and also with the fact that he had been unknowingly the instrument of her father's ruin, the reader cannot wonder that even her patience gives way, and she returns to England in disgust. But we do wonder that, when the concluding scene of the work re-unites them by the deathbed of the culprit, that his last words should be, " Igo to join the other blessed ones." The story is varied and interesting, the characters well drawn and diversified, and the generality of the incidents not improbable. There are some passages of great beauty and feeling, and none who peruse Mrs. Crowe's works can ever doubt the talent which they evince. The story opens very effectively, though the commencement is somewhat marred by the objectionable plan, now so common, of retro spect in the second chapter. There is no paucity of events, or of d ramatispersonce. It is only to be wished that Mrs. Crowe should have chosen a more pleasing selection of the drama of life in which to exhibit them. We trust she will do this in her next fiction, and, while giving us the same variety of sentiment, ability of style, and interest of narrative, she may avoid all those ab surdities of romance which border on the ludi crous, and those painful positions which jar on the feelings and offend the taste in "Linny Lockwood." NEW MUSIC. Nine Songs from the Opera of L ove ' s Al arms . Th e words Francis bync J. B. Bu?kstone. Th e M us i c b y Ed wardis . D'Almaine and Co., Soho-square. The words of these songs are taken from the opera recently performed at the Haymarket. As may be supposed, the words are most of them comic, though not inelegant. The exceptions to this rule are very pretty, though sentimental. They are the duet of " Dearest be mine," the canzonet " Farewell to love? and the ballad" When should The music to all the being lively and original.

A Set of Songs. The Poetry Sele c t e d. Th e M us i c by Edward Francis Fitzwilli arn. LiAlmaine and Co., Soho-square. 1 Y written for songs to It is certainly a relief after the sentimental com monplacesfindwordkspere, Byron, and Macaulay. There are twelve songs in this volume, the price of which is twelve shillings. They are, s selected wh therefore, much less expensive than if sold sepa icharferounisuasllha rately. " The Minstrel's Monitor," by L. E. L., is a beautiful lyric, which expresses the same idea as Mrs. Hemans in " The Diver." The accom paniment flows in harmonious unison with the words. " Love like a shadow flies" is a fragment from Shakspere, skilfully arranged. " The Moun tain breeze" an d a ,‘ German cradle song" are two pleasing ballads. One verse has been taken from the apostrophe of the sea at the conclusion of " Childe Harold.,, cc A Legend of Spectresheim" is a mysterious record of unknown crimes. Its chief point is the chorus. Macaulay's " Ivry and the Armada" are also added. We question whe ther the best part of the latter has been selected, but of course the singer can easily transpose the words. The music is of considerable merit, and the volume will be found very attractive to all who prefer to see good music accompanied by words which have something more than mere euphony of sound to recommend them. The Heather Bell. The Fragile Flower.—One Morn as o'er the Hills I Strayed.-----The Merry First of May. Campbell, Ransford, and Co., New Bond-street. The words of these songs are taken from Mr. Henry D r ayt on ' s ly r ic sketch of "Pierr e ," w hi c h was recently performed at the St. James's Theatre. The music is composed by Joseph F. D uggan . They are all pleasing and melodi▪ ous, and lik e ly t o become general favourites, especia• lly the ballads of YORK SPRING MEETING. THE GREAT NORTHERN HANDICAP.

The new warehouses, which are on the same scale of magnitude as the other build ings of the kind in the St. Katherine Docks, and which are well known to be some of the most perfect and complete of the kind in the kingdom, are now being roofed in, and present a very imposing appearance. When complete and ready for occupation, additional facilities will be afforded for the bonding of goods at this already extensive establishment. When it is borne in mind that not only have the directors of the London Docks recently found it necessary to extend the accom modation of their already immense establishment by the erection of new warehouses and other works of an im portant nature now in progress and in perspective for the purpose of affording facilities to trade, but that there are schemes in progress for the establishment of new docks and warehouses on a large scale, it is evident that the trade of this vast port is on a most flourishing and increasing state, notwithstanding the greatly in creased trade of late years at Liverpool, Glasgow, and other large ports in the kingdom. NOTTINGHAM TRADE.—There is a slight improvement in the lace trade for the present week, both in respect of transactions and manufacturing activity. The attend. ance of London as well as country buyers, and especially of considerable purchasers from Glasgow, has imparted an impetus in the first direction—the second portion of the progress has, however, been more necessitated b y the advance of the season than by any other induce ment. The low state of the stoc ks on h and and the ne ar approach of spring conspire towanrenoutr manufacturers of the propriety rather tha n t he ness yof co mmencing their usual preparations, whichthey have accordingly done though without any great alacrity, as the firm prices maintained both by cotton and silk, but especially the latter, and the continued high rate of wages, consequent on the unusually high prices of subsistence, are very un propitious to speculative production. Raw silks exhibit surprising firmness in the face of very large deliveries. • We observe by Messrs. Durant and Co.'s returns, that whilst last years importations amounted to something over 54,000 bales, and the stocks on hand at the close of 1853 (including solid bales, however) were above 22,000, those now on hand are only 23,000 in amount, notwithstanding the tremendous importation of 7,000 bales of China silks in December, which it is obvious, therefore, must have been nearly all absorbed. Ad vices also announce the arrival of the July and August ships from China, with 7,000 bales more. And yet th e fi rmness of the market is such that one letter which we have seen advises the actual refusal of 325. 9d., and a stand for 335. to clear a parcel of six bales of Italians, which could not have in any respect affected the market. Hosiery is rather duller this week than last. The impression created in many minds by the apprehensions of war, and political excitement, has done a great deal to limit transactions to mere hand to mouthsiness • and at stocks are low, the manuf ac t urers only go on keeping them up as orders come in. There is not at present, therefore, the same amount of orders on hand as usual at this season of the year ; but busi ness, notwithstanding, proceeds quietly and fairly, the hands obtaining altogether ample employment, and the warehouses finding •no reason to complain.—Notting ltanuairs Guardian.

LONDON, BRIGHTON, — AND SOUTH-COAST. The report of the directors for the half-year ending the 31st of December' last, states that the amount of capital raised to that date is 7,440,7421., consisting of 1,787,512/, mortgage debt, 1,037,9561. preference ca pital, and 4,615,634/. consolidated stock. The total amount on capital account expended during the past half-year has been 116,618/. of which 70,5591. h as been expended on th e fourth fines of rails—the Crystal Palace branch —and on the enlargement of the Lon sion-bridge terminus, 15,355/, on additional stock to meet the requirements of the goods traffic, and„ to pro vide for the Crystal Palace traffic, and 29,0851. on sidings and other works rendered necessary for the safety of the public, and for the accommodation of the in creasing traffic. Powers will be sought in the ensuing session of Parliament to increase the capital to 7, 806,000/ , including 150,0001. for works r en d ere d necessary; by th e opening of the Crystal Palace, which amount Is vir tually guaranteed by a first charge on the joint earnings of the railway and Crystal Palace Company. This outlay is a necessary consequence of the great increase of traffic, and while this continues rapidly to expand, the direc tors can only repeat the warning already given, that some corresponding increase of 'expenditure .on ,capital account, cannot, in the judgment of the directors, be avoided. They can point with satisfaction to the results of the past year, as giving the best assurance that the outlay hitherto incurred has been productive and profit able • and that the policy of considering th e hi g h est at tainable standard of public safety and convenience as a paramount consideration, has resulted in an expansion of traffic, and consequent increase of dividend, larger than could, a few years ago, have been reasonably anti cipated. The gross revenue .for thp half-year has been 364,7161. showing an increase of 31,8841. over the corresponding half-year of 1852. Of this large increase 18,0801. arises from passenger traffic, and 12,6311. from goods traffic. The rapid development of traffic on the Croydon and Epsorn line consequent on the construction of the Crystal Palace continues very satisfactory. The passenger traffic on this line during the year 1853 has exceeded that of the previous year by upwards of 16,0001. The number of miles run by the brains in the half-year ending the 31st of December last was 9 14,139, and the receipts 353,9271. ; and for the corresponding period of 1852, 837,178 miles, and the receipts 328 , 7 54/. The expenses amounted to 148,3411. for the half-year ending the 31st of December last, and to 137,400/. for the corresponding period of 1852, showing an increase of 10,9411. in the expenses, and 30,1731. in the receipts. The usual tabular statement in the report shows the gradual increase in the passenger traffic from 1848 to 1853, both inclusive. In 1848 the number of passengers conveyed on the line was 2,485,778, and the receipts 849,977/., while in 4853 the number of passengers was 4,491,561, and the receipts 434,9021., showing an increase in the number of passengers of 2,005,783, or 87 per cent., and in the receipts of 84,9251., or 24 . 3 percent. The gross revenue amounted in 1848 to 453,408/. ; in 1849, to 500,420/. ; in 1850, to 533,884/ ; in 1851, to 535,0861. ; i n 185 2, to 531,6421. ; and in 1853, to 636,6611. The number of miles run by the trains was respectively 1,119,358 miles, 1,094,094 miles, 1,276,430 miles, 1,620,483 miles, 1,560,193 miles, and 1,740,597 miles. The total expendi ture on account of traffic ammounted in 1848 to 187,0871. ; in 1849, to 190,9681. ; in 1850, to 210,2121.; in 1851, to 2 33,719/. ; in 1852, to 251,1541. : in 1853, to 273,7051. The renewals and additions to working stock amounted respectively to 6,1611., 19,9271. 27,721/., 27,0011., 36,6311., and 35,1051., in addition to which 12,0951. has been expended in 1853 out of the reserve fund. The preferential charges 1848 amounted to 104,0411., and the dividend to 3-121. per cent. ; in 1849, to 116,5561., and the dividend to 3-171. per cent. ; in 1850, to 121,6081.. and the dividend to 4-2/. per cent. ; in 1851, to 119,8651., and the dividend to 4-161. percent.; in 1852, to 124,9501., and the dividend to 4-41. per cent. ; and in 1853 the preference charges amounted to 128,5561., and the dividend to 5 per cent. The amount of accommo tion afforded to the public by the passenger trains during the past five years has been increased 33 per cent., the number of passengers by about 80 per cent., and the number of travellers by annual and season tickets has nearly trebled. The increase of receipts from passenger traffic has been about 28 per cent., showing that a great increase of travelling on the line has been coincident with a large reduction in the average rate of charge. During the same period the goods traffic (exclusive of the cartage) has doubled. The increase of ordinary expen diture consequent on this increase of traffic has been 70,8981., or about 38 per cent., of which 41,954/. has been in the ordinary expenses, and 28,9441. in the amount expended on renewals. Since the commencement of the year 1849, when the whole preferential charges were first paid out of revenue, the total increase in the fixed preferential charge for mortgage debt and guaranteed capital has been 10 per cent. The general result is that the balance remaining, after all charges, has increased by 72,1101., or about 45 per cent., which has raised the dividend from 3-121. to Si. per cent, per annum. The main tenance of the present rate of dividend depends on the maintenance of the present traffic and on the general rate of wages and the price of materials. Looking at the great increase of building and population on this company's line of railway, the steady development of all the principal branches of traffic, and the unparalleled at traction which will shortly be created by the opening of the Crystal Palace at Sydenham, it appears to the di rectors not unreasonable to anticipate that nothing short of a very general and serious depression could reduce the annual income of the company below its present amount. On the other hand, in the absence of such a depression, a still further increase of traffic appears almost certain. The report also states that an arrangement has been entered into with the directors of the West-end of London and Crystal Palace Company, by which the London, Brighton, and South-coast Com pany are to pay to the West end and Crystal Palace Company an annual rental of 8,0001. per annum, in consideration of the free use of their line and terminus, with sufficient accommodation, according to plans ap. proved by the former company's engineer, for all main line traffic beyond Croydon, which this company may think fit to send by that route. Any traffic which the Brighton Company may think fit to carry between Croy don and the West-end is to be divided in a proportion which will give to the Brighton Company 72 per cent. ; and any traffic from Epsom and stations between Croy and Epsom, in a proportion which . gives the Brighton Company about 86 per cent, on the gross amounts. Local traffic between any station on the West-end and Crystal Palace line and London-bridge station, to be divided according to mileage. The Brighton Company are to provide the rolling stock and to work the whole traffic of the West-end and Crystal Palace line for a sum equal to 421 per cent, of the gross receipts of such traffic, exclusive of Government duty. The West-end of London and Crystal Palace Railway, worked in con nexion with the Brighton Company, will form a continued line from Battersea to London-bridge, encircling the southern suburbs of London in a manner analogous to that in which the North London and Blackwall Railways encircle the northern suburbs, and will bring with it a large accession of new traffic. The net amount at the credit of the revenue account for tl;ehalf:yearis2.l6:i6oi., out of which 36,4951. is deducted for interest on mortgage debt, and 27,9071. for dividend on preference capital ; together, 64,4021. ; leaving 152,458/. 'From this sum is deducted 2,0001. for the benevolent and insu- ranee funds, leaving 150,4581., out of which the direc tors recommend a dividend of 3/. 4s. per cent. for the half-year, amounting to 147,7001., leaving a balance of 2,7581., and making the total dividend for the year amount to 5 per cent. To the extent of about 4s. per cent. per annum, this dividend, as compared with that of the three preceding years, is due to the resolution adopted at the last meeting, discontinuing the sum of 10,0001. annually to the reserve fund. The report of the auditors, Messrs. J. Reeves and J. Chapman, states that, after a monthly and mi nu t e au dit, t h ey find the accounts perfectly correct. The capital account shows that 7,440,7421. had been received, and 7,523,4¢11. expended, leaving a balance against the company of 82,7241. The mortgage debt account to the 31st of December last shows that 203,600/. was borrowed at 5 per cent., 6,0001. at 4g per e cent., 1,5 , 1 0 3 5 6 :85 7 4 27/ 1: at 4 t)e at 4pr cent.,erce ti 2,4 , 0340,001 at i 0 . 0/. at 34 per per c ent. , report d 0 231,3001,te Provident at 3 r s cent. total, o ; ciety, 1, established7B7,s 12/. The among the employts of the company in 1842, states that, during a period of 10 years the sum of 5,6541. had. been paid by the society to the servants of the company, of which amount 3,1531. was for sick allowances, 1,0231. medicine and medical attendance, 8881. funeral expenses, 2061. superannuations, and 328/. returned. to men who have left the service. The average annual income of the society has latterly been about 800/., and the outgoings about 7601. The balance in hand is 1,5891. .ASTERN COIINTIES.--This company report the esti mated cost for the enlargement of their goods station at Bethnal -green, and for the proposed Wisbeach branch, at 60,000/. CONGLETON AND BIDDCLPH VALLET.---The estimate of the company's engineer, Mr. Errington, for the construc tion of this line, including the purchase of property and contingencies, is 45,0001. HEREFORD, Ross, AND GLOCESTER.—The Lea tunnel, which has proved the great obstacle to the progress of this line, is now, in a fair way of being rapidly com pleted. The communication is now open from end to end, and the workmen are busily engaged in making the bore complete. The engineering difficulties have been very great, the volumes of water that poured down - being so immense as much to retard the progress of the works ; but now it is hoped that the tunnel will be completed in the spring of the year. The line is open to Hopebrook, close to the mouth of this tunnel, which is 800. yards in length. The other works on the line are in a state of pro gress, and the whole will be finished by the autumn. FALL IN THE PRICE OF BREAD.-- Yesterday the majority of the bakers on the south side of the Thames, especially in Lambeth, Blackfriars, &c., and in a few instances on the Middlesex side, informed their custo mers by placards in their shop . windows, that the price of bread had f a ll en i n many cases three halfpence, and in others one penny in the 41b. loaf. Seconds, or good household bread, was formerly charged as high as 100. to 11Ad. per quartern, but yesterday good bread was to be had at from 9d. to 10d. per 41b. loaf, weighed on de livery. The bakers at the West-end are still charging as much as 12d. to 13d. per quartern for their bread. DEMAND FOR GOLD.—Some demand for gold still exists for the Continent, and portions of the arrivals that take place are transmitted to Hamburg and P ar i s. REISSIAN PRODUCE.—The complexion of the Political news has caused a renewal of excitement in the markets for Russian produce, and tallow has more than recovered its recent reaction, the quotation having advanced during the week from 60s. per cwt. to 625. 6d. or 625. 9d. Hemp, likewise, has risen 1/. per ton, and all descrip tions of oils are darer. ,-, ~~ 15 20 20 20 20 10 20 35 25 all 2, 10 all 78 i 411 1 62.1 4i5 .. _ _ +~ i
