SO-I,' 4 " cer 17-713;-':b LONDON , SATURDAY, FEB. 20, 1864 A qaestion of very great interest and im portance was op ened to discussion on Wednesday evening' by the motion of Mr. BERNARD. The relief of • the poor has always been a difficult subject. That it is the duty of the State to support its poorer members, to succour the i nfirm, to provide for the aged, and to supply the wants of the utterly desti tutr, has been unhesitatingly admitted on all sides; but the manner of doing so has been less univer sally apparent. As it is, many and gri evous defi ciencies are daily felt in our existing s ocial arrange ments, and the public are beginning to look round them for a remedy. Town and country alike h ave their grievances —in the one the unjust and oppres sive inequality of rates is especially felt, while in the other the effects of the law of settlement are constantly complained of. Mr. BERNARD'S motion more particularly referred to the agricultural dis tricts. He asked leave to introduce a bill provid ing for the more equitable distribution of the chargt en landed property for the relief of the sick and destitute, and although such ajneaeure might eer with a very comprehensive range of ta i n ly deal topics, '-''s Prinn;nle object was to secure the substi tutioni • of a union for a county rate. After some discussion, in which th e President of th e Poor Law part, promising his sup- Board took a prom inent port to the measure , the bill was withdrawn, Mr. •satisfied that it world B expressing se l f sa him co until another ses be better to leave it in :-...bayan fn- remains where sion. S: - .) far, then, the matt. it was, But two questions press upon our notice. The first i 3, whether th© really destitute from whatever cause are properly cared for, and the oqcQua, Wilttlitr the harden of supporting them is r .....arryamai.s.rwayamPerama fairly divided among the , different members of the -community ? Neither of these queries can be very satisfactorily :answered. Cases are constantly coming under our notice in which, from some cause or another, poor persons suffer the extremes of want and hunger, and juries have to return the melan choly verdict, "Died fr©m want of the necessaries of life." No one can attribute wilful neglect or in tentional cruelty to the officials of our parishes, but tco often in poor and densely peopled localities the natural desire to keep down the rates which press so heavily on the ratepayers produces a reluctance to attend to the needs of the extreme poor, and an anxiety to discourage pauperism which sometimes bears startling fruit. The inequalities and injustice of the present system of rating ere so manifest that it is only surprising they should have survived to the present day. It stands to reason that in a dis trict like Spitalfields or Bethnal-green, where the largbst number of poor congregate, the householders are very unlikely to be able to pay heavy rates with anything like ease. Very probably a great many of them with difficulty keep off the rates themselves. Small shopkeepers, occupiers of tene ments with four rooms, or little lodging-hone keepers, are not likely to be very willing to sub scribe for the relief of the destitute on a larger scale than the rich merchant of the City or the mar- quis in Park-lane or Grosvenor-square. Why are some parishes'arated:at:two or three shillings in the ot h ers a poor rate is almost pound, whereas in a thing unknown ? Which class can best afford to contribute to the relief of the necessitous—the in habitants of St. Georde's Hanover-square or those of Bethnal Green ? The intelligent foreigner so often referred to as the referee on matters of social philosophy, might naturally consider that the latter was the wealthiest of the two. A great deal is said about the equality of our laws, and the fairness of our system of government, but we expect the true explanation of such a glaring absurdity is to be found in a remark made by Mr. VILLIERS the other evening. "It was difficult," said the right hon. gentleman, "to induce parishes that were exempt, or but slightly rated, to support the principal of equal contribu tion, based on the value of all the property rated ; and the resistance, on account of this interest had always been extremely influential." Naturally so, because it is the 'wealthy parishes who oppose the reform, and the injustice of the present method, and the hardships of the poor weigh but little in comparison. The true cure is to be found iu a national rate. The poor of the country are a national burden which every man should assist in bearing according to his ability. There is no rea son because a man lives in one street, instead of another, that he should give six times as much towards the relief of persons who have no real claim on his aid, save that of common humanity which appeals to all parishes alike. A national rate would cure many evils. It would avoid the mani fest injustice of the burden as now distributed all through the country. Witness the high rate of Liverpool, and the ingenious arrangement by which some country landowners contrive to keep the very men employed on their farms off their estates. It would take away that anxious desire on the part of the officials of heavily rated parishes to discourage the poor from applying for help—an anxiety which has no effset on the hardened and worthless, but which makes the decent and indus trious poor struggle on through almost any privations rather than go to " the House." It would relieve poor ratepayers of a heavy burden, and in eases of a national calamity the distress in Lancashire and Cheshire, the weight would fall on all alike. No one could fail to be touched during the worst time of the trouble by the accounts of the ratepayers who were themselves reduced to the greatest straits, yet fighting on till overpowered by the burden of the constantly increasing rates. Had there been a national rate a good many might have been kept from pauperism. A line once overstepped is hard to retrace. Such a rate would remove the inducement to keep labourers off the land, and con sequently have an influence in promoting the build ing and improving of cottages. What says Mr. VILLIERS, who, as ono of the original inquirers in 1833, and the present head of the Poor Law Board, should be able to give a sound opinion " The effect of the parochial system has been to exempt some parishes entirely, and to cause in others every kind of inequality and injustice besides in the dis tribution of the burden." With such a confession from our Poor Law President, with deaths from starvation continually recorded in our columns, with the dwellings of our agricultural labourers in a state that is a national disgrace, and with strug gling tradesmen of the lower class heavily taxed for a common burden which the rich man may not pay for at all, it is cntainly time that something was done in the matter of our parish rating. Sir G. GREY'd motion for leave to bring in a Bill fur amending the Penal Servitude Acts, afforded occasion fur some debate on the sub ject. It proves that the question still en gages the attention of the House, as it has long engrossed the thoughts of the public. Amid the discussion some very conflicting statements were made, but on the whole Sir G. GREY'S Bill appeared to receive general approbation. It is certainly, as Lord NAAS stated it, a step in the right direction, and it is to be hoped that having once entered into the spirit of the task, the autho rities will proceed, and that whatever be the poli tical creed of those who occupy the Treasury benches, the importance of this subject of penal servitude will be duly considered, and the question studied with reference to its bearing on the inte rests of society. There is one point in which many will concur with Lord Naas, and that is relating to Western Australia. With all due deference to Sir G. GREY—who is doubtless animated with the best intentions, and thinks he sees valid grounds for his resolve —it is to bo regretted that the right hon. baronet has come to the determination not to carry out the plan of sending convicts to Western Aus tralia. This is a mistaken concession, and one that furnishes a bad precedent, while at the same time it will occasion great disappointment to the colo nists, who sought for the convict labour, and work incalculable mischief to the unhappy subjects of discussion. In the first place, to take the question neon the broad principle of justice, what right tav - e those who are so far away from the place in to dispute to set up a claim or put forward a demand I judge of the propriety or non-propriety of such a P rocee ding ? C consistency is highly necessary, and for the inhabitants of one place to dic tate to th ose of another as to w h a t class of workers th ey shall employ, is simply absurd. The fact is, th a t prejudice has a great deal to do w i t h this vehement opposition, and in some cases un founded alarm, produced by the exaggerated repre sentations of those whose object it is to seund an alarm, or create a panic, until the vexed question is withdrawn, and the attempt proves futile. There is everything to hope for as regards the future of the criminal who returns to liberty on that distant soil, far away from old associates, and surrounded by a complete change. Surely, under such in fluences, we may venture to form a well-grounded expectation, and to indulge in a substantial hope, that for these outcast brethren it nay be said, "old and all thin e are become things are pmsecl away, TEE SUN, LONDON, SATU RP.ELY EV EN I NC, [TB OITA RY 20, I " new." Those who first started the inimical idea, and gave rise to the strenuous opposition, have much to answer for. Inasmuch, as concerns the colony itself, a great boon would have been conferred on it by the acquisition of convict labour. Many of the places which have so strongly disclaimed the notion of allowing the ingress of convicts, have themselves greatly benefitted by the very source which they would now shut out from others. It seems a great pity that these unfortunate outcasts should be con signed to certain destruction, by being sent back to all their old associations, while in a new world, as it were, fairer scenes and brighter prospects are awaiting them. If, however, it is determined to give up for the present all thoughts of this plan, it is i.nportant that a right vices should be taken of the manner in which they are to be treated at home. Lord NAAS spoke in terms of approbation of the Irish system, but it is proposed by Sir G. GREY to leave things in statu quo is this respect. It is neither one thing nor the other to carry on a system which irritates the men without conferring any substantial benefit upon eoeety ; and, above all other alterationrs, some very strict measures should be passed concern ing those who are convicted. It is not enough for them to complete their sentence; they should have the full term before imposed, doubled or treb ed, according as their offence has been comparatively great or small. It is greatly to be hoped that during the discussion on this topic some very great changes will be made relative to the manner in which the discipline is carried on within the walls of the prison. The days are happily gone by when dark doings and cruel tortures disgraced the annals of our prisons and made our gaolers a species of barbarians. We have, however, fallen into the op posite extreme, and the details that have been most unwittingly afforded relating to the management of criminals as to diet, labour, and recreation have been scandalous. It is downright in tolerable to reflect that vice should be pampered, while honest poverty struggles on unheeded,and the deserving sufferer often dies a cruel death without the commonest necessaries of life. Such a course of conduct is totally subversive of order and justice in a State, and the dictates of sense and reason are alike arrayed against it. By all means care and at tention should be bestowed upon these criminals, but they should be given no indulgences that they would not have had if they had kept in their own position and done their duty faithfully to their Creator and fellow-creatures. As has been oh served, this is a beginning that has been made ; and.the hopes and wishes of all who have the wet fare of the community at heart will be interested in the furtherance of the undertaking now so auspi ciously commenced. It is high time that the atten tion of the Legislature be called to the consideration of a system into which serious errors have crept, and wherein so many abuses have taken root. LATEST INTELI7("T"r"" LRETITER'S TELEGRAMS.] -~- ' AUSTRIA AND TEE LONDON TREATY, VIENNA, FEB. 20. The Austrian Goverment addressed a circular despatch on the 13th inst. to all the members of the German Confederation. The following is a gum. =try of the document : "It is admitted that the Loudon treaty is not binding upon the Federal Diet. " A vote on that treaty, taken by the Diet, in conformity with the propositions of the committee, would not bo decisive with regard to that question, but might possibly induce the non-German Powers to make counter d eclarations in favour of the treaty, thereby n g i ;ravating th 3 critical state of affairs. Austria, therefore, rccinests the German Governments not to assent to the different proposi tions of the Committee, bui to instruct that body to make a fresh report, which should treat solely of the succession question."

Gap on the 29th ult., but, after heavy skirmishing, were driven back and have since made no further movement. General Johnstone's main army is stated to be at Rome, Georgia, where the general is supposed to have retired, either for convenience in obtaining supplies cr to prevent desertions, which were very numerous. Southern advices to the sth report that 8,000 Federals had crossed the Tennessee River near Ger mansville, their supposed object being the destruc tion of the iron works in the Cherokee country. The New York World asserts that Sherman's ex pediticn has moved from Vicksburg due east in the direction of Selma and Montgomery, Alabama. In conjunction with Sherman's movement a large Federal cavalry force, under Grierson, is advancing southwards from Holly Springs, the object of the combined movement being, it is thought, to conquer l i Mississippi and Alabama. la order to strengthen Sherman the Federals have withdrawn their forces from Middle and Western Tennessee, and abandoned Corinth and the line of the Memphis and Charles ton Ittilro d as far east as Bridgeport. Alabile dispatches of the 4th inst. assert that the Confederates had occupied Jackson, Mississippi. Southern accounts assert that General E irly had captured 800 Federals at Petersburg, Western Virginia. Advices from Charleston to the sth state that the firing on the city and Fort Sumter continued. A committee of the New York Union Lincoln Association has called the people throughout the state to meet on the 22d February to give public expression to their sentiments favouring Mr. Lin coln's re-election to the Presidency. _ A new political organisation has been started in New. York favouring a more radical abolition policy than that pursued by the Lincoln Adminis tration, and organising a movement for the nomi nation of candidates to carry out this policy. Horace Greely spoke in favour of the movement. The steamer Presto ran ashore off Charlatan on the 2d inst. The Confederates would save most of the cargo. The blockade runner Wild Dayrell has been de stroyed near Topsail Inlet. NEW YORK, Feb. 9. Mobile despatches report that eight Federal regiments, with two batteries of artillery, crossed Big Black River on the sth inst. Considerable excitement prevailed in Mobile. The force which was expected to attack the city was estimated at 30,000 strong. There is a doubtful report from Chattanooga of a wide spread mutiny in the Confederate army. General Butler sent an expedition, consisting of three brigades of infantry, four regiments of cavalry, with 12 guns, across the York River to wards Richmond, for the purpose of surprising the Confederates and releasing the prisoners in Rich mond. The expedition reached within 12 miles of Richmond, but was discovered through infor mation furnished by Federal deserters, and com pelled to return without attaining its object. Advices from Charleston to the 7 , .h inst. state that the firing on the city had ceased. NEW YORK, FEB. 10, Morning. The _Richmond Examiner states that a German has been arrested in Richmond as the ringleader of a plot for the release of the prisoners in that city, and the assassination of President Davis.

THE BRITISH INSTITUTION, The Exhibition for tho present season at the British Institution is, we regret to say, very corsi derably below the average. As usual, numerous works arc displayed upon the four walls :of the noble suite of three apartments constituting the gallery. Minor drawings, both in size and merit, are hung upon the screens. There is the customary diversity of landscape, animal life, histories. scenes, genre pictures, fruit, ft were, winter, spring, summer, and autumn views, sea-pieces, and so forth; but among them all, while there are very few really good paintings, there are a great many unquestion ably bad, while the vast majority are beyond all question most indifferent. A single gem alone attracts the eye, scanning, no matter whether care fully or cursorily, the contents of this art-casket — that solitary chef-d oeuvre being CS, " Well-bred Sitters that never say they are Bured"—the said sitters being a tan collie and a black re triever, painted as dogs caa alone be painted by Sir Edwin Landseer. The retriever holds cress wise in his mouth one of the artist's camel-hair brushes. A pheasant and some pigeons—as speci mens of dead game—are littered in the front part of the picture. There are, besides this, other more usual appurtenances of a studio—odds and ends introduced, it would seem, almost hap-hazard. Every detail touched with the easy, careless, mar vellous touch of the groat master. The expression of the dogs' cauntenances being the central interest of this new masterpiece of Landseer's. SACRED HARMONIC SOCIETY, The 450th concert of this society was given last evening, on which occasion Handel's magnificent composition, " Israel in Egypt," was selected for performance. The attendance of company, in the great hall, was by no means inferior to that which invariably assembles on every per forntance of "The Messiah," although the oratorio under notice is remarkable for the subordinate parts allotted to the scloists. In "Israel in Egypt" the great weight of the perfor mance is thrown upon the choristers, and to this circumstance must, perhaps, be attributed the comparative non-success which invariably attended its performance during the life• time of the illustrious composer. To us of the present time it seems remarkable how the massive and splendid choruses could have been listened to without creating the utmost enthusiasm, but certain it is, an extraordinary change has happily taken place and for this impro vement in our musical taste, the Sacred Harmonic Society and Mr. Costa deserve the unanimous gratitude of every true lover of music in its best and loftiesi form. The soloists were Madame Rudersdorff, Madame Sainton-Dolby, bliss Banks, Mr. Santley, Mr. Patey, and Mr. Cumming. The list of instrumentalists embraced the name of nearly every performer of merit, and the unrivalled chorus of the society were on this occasion divided into two separate and distinct choirs, placed at either side of the noble organ. The opening reeizative was sung by Mr. Cumming with care and intelligence, and then fol lowed the chain of remarkable double choruses that grandly demonstrate the power of sound. It will be quite unneces sary on the present occasion to do more than reiterate the praise we have invariably given this incomparable body of choristers, at the same time remarking that never have They even the Hailstone Chorus, as it is familiarly called, and the sublime composition, "The waters overwhelmed them," with greater preci-ion and effect. In the former the rest previous to the two concluding bars was a perfect miracle of power and discipline. It is almost needless to remark that both wore unanimously encored. In the second part Madame Rudersdorff sang " Thou didst blow," and the introduction to the final chorus, "Sing ye to the Lord," with the greatest purity and effect. Madame Dolby was, as ever, majestic and tender in the beautiful air "Thou shalt bring them in,' and Mr. Cumming highly distin guished himself in the tenor war song. The duct, "The Lord is a man of war," was sung by Mr. Santley and Mr. Patoy, and of course elicited the usual encore. "Judas Maceabeus" is to be the next oratorio performed. Miss Grace Egerton's Entertainment. Miss Graco Egerton's (Mrs. George Case) entertainment at the Polygraphic Ilan, King William-street, will be found well deserving of patronage. The present idea is to limit its duration to one month ; but if real merit is consi dered, it ought to become ono of the permanent entertain ments of the metropolis. The abilities of Miss Egerton as a public entertainer are remarkable, and her assumption of the different characters of which her pretty entertainment is made up, will bear comparison with any hitherto seen in London. Mr. Case agreeably gives a variation to the even ing's amusements, by some very cleverly executed solos on the violin and concertina ; and to those wishing amuse ment for a couple of hours, we cordially reonameud a visit to the Polygraphic 119.11. THE RUBENS OF FRANCE.-0a Tuesday last the numerous works of the late Eugene Delacroix, were exhi bited in the Rue Druot. There seems no style which M. Delacroix has not attempted and adorned—mythological pictures, such as " Aclaoon Changed into a Stag ;" his'o rieal works—for instancy, " Louis IX. on the Bridge of Taillebourg;" religious inspirations, as " Christ in the Garden of Gethsemane ;" pictures from:Byron and Giiethe; and finally compositions of fruit end flowers.

Alton to defend Greco, Trabucco, and Seaglioni as they declined to appoint counsel, Signor Mazzini has been invited to appear, but " come and be killed" was not less attractive to the his toric ducks than aueh a EUMEROTI3 to Mazzini, who will suffer judgmen,t to go by default, and mi§lauicAt also.

Theresa Yelverton presented a petition to the House of Lords on Wednesday last, through her agent, praying their lordships to order the ap pellant, Major the Hon. W. Yelverton, to pay to the petitioner the sum of £5OO, or such sum as to their lordships shall seem meet, either in nature of alimony or for the purpose of enabling the petitioner to complete her case ; and, further, that the hearing of the cause may be postponed for three menthe, or until such time as the said £5OO is paid to the peti tioner. The petitioner states that in January, 1860, she raised an action of declaration of marriage before the court in Scotland, and on the 19th December, 1862, the judges declared the marriage to belawful, and ordered Major Yelverton to pay the costs of the proceedings, but he had never paid any such costs. In 1860 an action was brought in the Court of Com mon Pleas in Ireland, against Major Yelverton, by Messrs. Grant and Gash, merchants, London, for £2O 9a for necessaries supplied to the Hon. Mrs. Yelverton, and judgment was given in their favour, with costs, on the 5.1 July, 1860. The petitioner goes on to state that in January, 1861, another action was brought in Dublin against Major Yel verton, by Mr. Thelwall, an iron master, in York shire, for £259 17s 3d, for board and lodgings sup plied to Mrs. Yelverton, at the request of Major Yelverton, and that the cause was tried before the Lord Chief Justice and a special jury, in March, 1861, when, after a trial of many days, the jury returned a verdict in favour of Mr. Thelwall for the amount claimed. In this case a rule nisi for a new trial was granted, and, after having been argued before the full court, the rule was discharged on the 7th July, 1862, with costs; but Major Yelverton has not paid any part of the debt or costs in which ho has ben condemnel. And the petitioner further states that her husband never contributed anything towards her support, but that ho is living in con cealment, and his solicitors and agents refuse to give any information as to his place of abode. The petitioner then goes on to state that in consequence of the enormous law expenses she incurred in defend ing herself and maintaining her rights as his wife, her private means are nearly exhausted, and that she is now dependent for maintenance on the assis• tance of her friends. The privations and hardships to which the petitioner has been exposed through the cruelty of her husband, and the mental anxiety which she has suffered during the last five years and a half, have produced a total prostration of strength. She was taken ill in the south of France, when on her way to England, and her medical advisers are of ovidion that it would be dangero us to her life if she was to be removed at present . Their lordships considered the petition , and have . ordered the question with reference to the Biala to be referred to the next appeal committee. LITERATURE, The North British Review. No. ',XXIX. Ed monston and Douglas. Although several articles of importance lend an especial interest to the current number of the North British Review —conspicuous among them a reve rential treatise upon the " Vie de Jesus," such as will hardly satisfy the egotism of M. Renan should it fall under his observation—we have turned, as we conjecture every person taking up this ever-welcome blue covered northern quarterly will turn, must perforce turn, instinctively, inevite.bly, to the last paper of all—the eighth—aimp;y entitled " Thackeray." Of all the many memorials of Thackeray yet given to the eager multitude of his lamenting admirers since his startling demise, this paper in the a 1 orth British is, to our mind, in• comparably the very best. To our think ing, it is beyond all comparison the best. Nothing, it is true, could by possibility have been more exactly what it ought to'have been, what we should (in our thorough appreciation of the tw o men) have wished it to have been, could our wishes have had any influence whatever in shaping out the result—nothing could possibly hate been in more exquisite taste as an expression of manly sorrow and fraternal sympathy than Charles Dickens's In Memoriam paper leading off the last number of the Cornhill. But then it was—though of the best—so very brief! As for Mr. Anthony Trollope's tribute to Thackeray in the same number of Thackeray's own especial periodical—well, it was most gene' rous in tone and feeling, only, in point of fact, it was too much so, for, while it was all that, it was also to the last degree extra vagant. The finest novel in literature, the most perfect creation of a character in the whole range of fiction—why, these superlatives were simply preposterous as applied even to " Esmond" (that exquisite romance !), even to Colonel New come, that worthy companion to other imaginary beings, each, let us say, as Sir John Falstaff or Sir Roger DJ Coverley. The charming little me moir published by Mr. Hannay, first of all, in his own Edinburgh newspaper, and afterwards in a sepa rate form as a slight pamphlet, was—in bulk, or rather in the lack of bulk—insufficient. The corn pilation prepared for the press with such surprising rapidity by Mr. Theodore Taylor, and published so very promptly the other day by Mr. Hotten of Pic cadilly, turns out to be, when the kindest thing that can be said of it, is said of it, wholly and solely a compilation. Bearing in mind, therefore, all that has yet appeared in regard to Thackeray since the date of his lamentably sudden demise, this eighth and last contribution, in the current number of the North Britith Review, is, we repeat, to our thinking, the very best, because in every way the fullest, the most searching in its criticism, and, therefore, all things consi dered, the most satisfactory. It is enough of itself to secure to the number, as we can hardly doubt but what it will, an unusually large and widely scattered circulation. Often, throughout it, we don't the least atom in the world agree with the writer in the North British in his estimate of this or that among Thackeray's writings. For example, we cannot for the life of us regard that great writer's Lovel the Widower as in any ono respect a masterpiece, On the contrary, it seems to us e among all his writings, to be in almost every particu lar one of the least satisfactory. It is the old story he had so often and often related before, told once more all over again—the tone of it, meanwhile, as caught from one of the most pro minent characters in the fiction, to wit that horrid butler, being inconceivably vulgar. Barring, how ever, instances like these, where our own judgment flies to quite an opposite conclusion to the one arrived at by the North British Reviewer, we have to thank the latter for a memorial chapter on our great humorous satirist, Thackeray, the eager perusal of which has on the whole given us the liveliest satisfaction. Among the scattered treasures of Thackeray's own inimitably comical writings, not to be found among his worke, even in his collected Miscellanies, we have reason to be greteful to the North British for giving 113 in its grotesque entirety, what we have often heard sung, but never reakereher before this to have seen any where in print—Thackeray's wonderfully 'tinny impromptu song of— LITTLE BILLEE. There were three sailors in Bristol city, Who took a boat and went to sea. But first with beef and captain's biscuit, And pickled pork they loaded she. There was guzzling Jack and gorging Jimmy, And the youngest he was little Billet). Nuw very soon, they were so greedy, They didn't leave not one split pea. Says guzzling Jack to gorging Jemmy, "I am extremely hungaree." Says gorging Jim to guzzling Jacky, " We have no provisions, so we must eat we." Says guzzling Jack to gorging Jimmy, "0 gorging Jim, what a fool you be I There's little Bill is young and tender, We're old and tough, so let's eat be." "0 Bill, we're going to kill and eat you, So undo the collar of your chemie." When Bill received this infumation He used his p o cket-handkerchie. "0 let me say my catechism, As my poor mammy taught to me." "Make haste, make haste," says guzzling Jacky, While Jim pulled out his snickersneo. So Bill went up the maintopgallant mast, Where down ho fell on his bended knee. He scarce had come to the Twelfth Commandment, When up ho jumps, " There's land, I see. There's Jerusalem and Madagascar, And North and South Amerikee. There's the British fleet a riding at anchor, With Admiral Nelson, K.C.8." So when they came to the Admiral's vessel, He hanged tat Jack and flogged Jimmee. But as for little Bill, he made him The captain of a seventy-three. Our obligations ought also to be expressed here to the North British Review for recalling to our re membrance that charming dedication of our great humorist's " Paris Sketch Book," in the very grace ful terms to his Tailor, M. Aretz, of No. 27 in the Rue Richelieu. Sev3ral perfectly original reminis cences of Mr. Ttiackeray, here published for the first time, lend a peculiar interest to a paper that altogether claims from us our very cordial com mendation. STATE OF TRADE, MANCHESTER, Feb. 19.—We have had a very quiet market for yarns in all departments, both home and export, and, generally speaking, prices are easier as compared with Tuesday. In the borne trade there is eome business doing, but most of the sales have been small parcels. In cloth sellers re port a limited bueioess. There has been a rather active inquiry, but it has not resulted in much actual business. As stated in our recent reports, the greater activity on Tuesday and previously was owing more to accumulated orders than any new demand, and most of these having now been placed buyers do not feel inclined to operate further. No doubt the recent arrivals of cotton and the further expected arrivals are influencing buyers to some extent in holding back. At the same time manu facturers are rather cheerful, believing that the great reduction which has taken place in the pro• duce of the mills will influence prices favourably, whatever may be th e e ff ect on the mar k ets o f im ports of co t tn. Whenever people wish to purchase for immediate delivery they find a difficulty in meeting with stocks of goods, and certainly this seems to bear out the opinion entertained by manu facturers, who are, generally speaking, exceedingly firm about prices. Some orders have been given out running into Ap r il an d M ay, t h e co ntractors for which have taken rather lower prices, but for early delivery most kinds of cloth keep fi r m, with a ten dency to hi g h er rates. NOTTINGHAM, 19th.—There was a limited at tendance at the E xc h ange -h a ll to -day. For lace yarns the demand was still quiet, but prices re mained firm. In hosiery yarns little or no altera tion took place. Siike, b o th spun and thrown, maintain their prices. Brown nets meta slow sale. The makers are less actively engaged, but there is no change in prices to quote. e , tilf tyr e . 1 MAJESTY.
