MONEY MAIKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. Very little alterati3n can be noted this morning in monetary affairs, which still remain unsettled, and discounters appear loth to enter into traustic tions 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 110 P d, Privileged Union Bank of Austria have notified that the subscriptions of the several appli cants for shares will b 3 returned in full, in conse quence of unforseen difficulties having presented t uemsolve s to the carrying out the undertaking in a satisfactory manner. Party thousand sovereigns were taken out of the 13 auk on Saturday for transmission to Alexandria. Generally speaking, the condition of trade in the ma nufacturing districts during this past Reek 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 B uPPly have disturbed confidence. The uncertain state of the money market has also influenced buyers to assume a more cautious policy. This last cir cumstance has also tended to interfere with, busi ness at Huddersfield, Leeds, and Leicester. Menu facturers, however, at Birmingham, Sheffield, and W olverhampton have not experienced any abate ment in their orders either from the country or a broad, and great activity consequently continues to prevail in every branch of industry...

THE SUN, LONDON, MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 16, 1863. MARKETS—This Day. MARK-LANE. The trade for English wheat in the country markets, held on Saturday, ruled firm, and, in soma 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 brides, 31,398 oats, 480 rye, 1,916 beans, 582 peas, 1,629 tares, 10,924 linseed, 7,914 oilseeds, 11,814 maize, 220 sundry seeds-216 sacks and 6,179 barrels of flour. Fresh up to Mark. lans,to-day, the arrivals of home-grown wheat were very moderate, and a conhiderable proportion of the supply was received in but middling condition. For good and line 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 moderato 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 extreme 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 at 21s. 6d. for extra stale and at 225. 6cl. for superior marks. Town and country made qualities were in fair average request, at late quota tions.

MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A WOMAN CHARGED WITH A MURDEROUS ASSArLT 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 S I saw a large crowd assembled at the end of Rathbone-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 I found finger marks. I then 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. Selfe—How 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 month. Thinking the boy'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. Selie—l shall remand the prisoner for a week. WESrMINSTER. ALLEGED ATTEMPT TO Ron THE 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 64 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 he say ? Witness—Ha said he had lost a pencil• case there on the Monday previously, and 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 he appear to be doing when you last saw him ? Witness—He was Fitting 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. Mr. Partridge—Did you make any inquiries about the truth of these statements? Witness—l did, and they are both correct. _ _ _ Police-constable, 280, 8.--I saw the prisoner on Monday last on the floor on his hands and kiiees at the museum. Mr. Partridge—What did he say then ? Witness—He 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 ms 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 on which I can detain you. You see the advantage of a good character. You are discharged. LITERATURE, The New Monthly Magazine. The interesting but melancholy story by the authoress of "East Lynne" is brought to a conclu sion in this number. "The 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 bis 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 spun 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 those 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 in the decalogue would not offer a moment's obstacle, and sprightly enthusiastic maidens whe treat the conversances de la sociele 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. Nicholas Michell contributes a poem on progress, full of spirit and sanse. 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 whtch 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 " Acte additional," quoted by the nephew. "My object was," said Napoleon 1., " T. organise a grand federative system inEurope, 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 : " When the fortune of arms made Napoleon mas ter of the greater part of the Continent be 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 idea stolen 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 had all the means in his hands of constituting Europe. He kept in reserve entire countries, of which he might dispose in order to attain his object. Dutch, Romans, Pielmontese, inhabitants of Bremen and of Hamburg—all you who were astonished at find ing yourselves French, you will re-enter the atmos phere of nationalities suited to your antecedents and the to your position; and France in "linquis still act hing rights which victory gave her ov er you will in her own interest, for her interest cannot be sepa rated from that of civilised nations. In order to cement an European association the Emperor, ac cording to his own words, a dopted an European code—an European Court of Court C essation, correcting errors for all, as the French of Cessation cor rects the errors of French tribunals. He would have founded an European institute to animate, direct, and combine all learned societies in Europe. The uniformity of coin, weights, and measures—the nni formity of legislation would .r have been obtained by his powerful intervention. The last great transfor mation would then have been accomplished for our continent. And in the same manner as commu na l interests were elevated above individual int erests, as the interests of the city were elevated above those of the commune, the interests of the province above those of the city, and, fi n ally, the inter e sts of the nation above those of the province—in the same way European interests would have predominated over national interests, and humanity would have been satisfied, for Providence could not wish a nation not to be prosperous except at the expense of others, and that there should be conquerors and vanquished, andrbe Napoleonian Eu rope not reconciled mem bers of the one great family. The rope once founded, the establishment would have pro ceeded in France t o the 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 tor 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 ent, because Napoleon Nvould have estab !shed 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 ,es,overnors and the governed. It is with the impression produced by some delightful dream that one reflects on the happiness and stability which Europe wou ld have presented had the last plans of the Em peror been accomplished. Each country circu m scribed within its natural limits, united to its neighbour by rela tions of interest and of friendship,would have en joyed the blessings of independence, peace, and liberty in its interior. s o vereigns, exempt from fear and suspicion, would have applied themselves solely to the improvement of the condition of their people, and to the introduction among them of all the advantages of SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.--Tliis Day, (BY ELECTRIC TELEGRAPH.)

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 ; but 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 soma instances, a decline of 2d per Blbs. Calves were in moderate supply, and sluggish request on former terms. The top price was 4s 81 per Blbs. The pork trade was heavy, and the quotations had a drooping tendency.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH PARRY V. GREAT SHIP COMPANY. ti 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, iThe Court thought, under all the circumstances, the rule must be discharged. COURT OF COMMON PLEAS. BURT 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 tho 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 circumstances 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, and' 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, MO. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr, Kerr.) THE TRAFFIC REGULATIONS FOR THE CITY OF LONDON.- LONDON GENERAL OMNIBUS COMPANY V. DYER. This was an action to recover 305., damage to an omnibus. The evidence went to show that there were a number of vehicles in King William-street on a certain day, the whole being " heads and tails." 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 aro 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 understood that where vehicles were so close together it was negligence. Verdict for plaintiff, with costs. CONDITIONS OF SALE AT AUCTIONS.—SOLOMON V. THOMAS. This was an action to recover for the non-delivery of cer tain machinery sold at a sale over which defendant pre sided. Mr. Buchanan appeared for the plaintiff, and Mr. Beard for defendant. It was shown that by the conditions of the sale, a person was appointed t o d ec id e a ll dis in defendant's then employ putes. His Honour held that the buyers must be bound by this condition, and as the matter in dispute had been referred to the person agreed upon, defendant must have verdict. _ Verdict for defendant. COURT OF BANI(RUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) IN B E yEO. IMPORTANT QUESTION AS TO CONDITIONAL ORDER OP DISCHARGE• Mr. Dowse appeared in of a rule calling upon the bankrupt to show cause why he 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 obta i ne d his or d er o f d i scharge on consenting and undertaking to pay a sum of £4O per year out of his pension for the gradual liquidation of his debts, but bix months had elapsed and tho bankrupt had not paid any portion, although frequently called on so to do. His Honour said the first difficulty was whether the condition being by "consent" of the bankrupt was such a rule or order of the Court that th e bankr upt could be com tuitted for disobedienca 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 non - performance of the undertaking. Mr. Dowse argued that the conditions formed part of 1 "r of discharge, as it was fully set out in it, - -vod was heard in opposition. Mr. S. . -,ltimately refused the application.

EXTRAORDINARY ROBBERY BY A TICKET-Or-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 watch value 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 were 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 theft 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 H, was in duty in Back Church lane, Whitechapel, on Saturday evening at half-past five o'clock, and saw the prisoner running. He 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 H, said the prisoner's time would not expire until March next.

SUN OFFICE, HALF-PAST 4 o'Ci .ocK. HAYMARKET THEATRE. On Saturday evening a "new and original" comedy, entitled " Silken Fetters," by Leicester Buckingham, Esq., was announced for representation ; and accordingly a very crowded and brilliant audience assembled; but the antici pations of many were disappointed, for the "new" comedy proved to be a translation of one of M. 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 influence of the Countess his plays become accepted, his poems published, and Herbert Travanion, from an unknown and friendless man, becomes one 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 he 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 tho rn 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 :eves. 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. llerbert 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 bo perfectly in love with their parts. Mr. Howe as the Marquis, and Mr. W. Farrar 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 a 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 the 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 tho fall of the curtain, and after the principals had acknowledged the honour of a call, the adapter, Mr. Buckingham, had to make his bow. ADDITIONS TO THE NATIONAL GALLERY.—The addition of 29 pictures to the National Gallery marks an epoch in its history. They belong to a class of works in which it was by no means rich.

A BEAUTIFUL SPECIMEN OF PEOTGGLYPHIC ENGIRAVING, ow STEEL—in other words, a photographio 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 banana; trees. Not the least wonderful circumstance connected with it is, that at least 5,000 copies can be taken before the plate deteriorates. Such a result, after so many years of labour, must be for Mr. Fox Talbot a genuine triumph.
