CONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK. There is not the slightest change to report in the general condition of monetary affairs, the demand for accommodation being well supported by the Preparations for the liquidation of monthly ac counts, to-morrow being the 4th. There is no relaxation in the rates, the official minimum of 4 per cent, being enforced without an exception. This state of things will no doubt continue until after the Btb, when the India Debentures then due are paid off, but no permanent relief is anticipated before the release of the dividends. _ _ About £97,000 in go11wa; taken into the Bank yesterday, but £B,OOO in bar gold and 75,000 sove reigns were withdrawn. There was no alteration of importance in the foreign exchanges yesterday afternoon. Since Monday last the imports of specie have amounted to £878,300, and the exports to £744,300, showing a balance in favour of the country of £134,020. We are informed that the letters of allotment of the Imperial Privileged Bank of Austria will be issued to-day. The Scrip Certificates of the Columbian Loan may be had in exchange for the banker's receipts on Tuesday next. Two O'CLOCK. At Paris this day, according to Mr. Renter's tele gram, the 3 per Cent. Rentes were at 67f. 95c. 67f. 9 0c.—Inanimate and heavy. The English Stock Market to-day has presented a very doll appearance, but no further movement has occurred in the value of Consols, which are 921 for money, and 931 for the account. The New Threes are 911 92k ; the Reduced, 911 92; Exche • quer Bills, ls. to 3s. prem. ; India 5 per Cents., 1081 1; and the 5 per Cent. Enfaced Paper, 1084. The operations in the Foreign Market have been conducted on a rather limited scale, and prices con tinue to droop. The Confederate Loan, however, has been 22 to 20 dis., and is now 24 to 22 dis. Turkish 6 per Cents., 1858, are 70 701 ; do., 1862, 701 711; do., Consolides, 541 ; Mexican have dropped to 451 461 ; Greek, to 371 4 ; do., Coupons, to 171 181 ; Spanish Passive, to 351 d ; do., Certi ficates, to 131 14; Portuguese, 49 1; Egyptian, 1004 1011; Granada, 17 ; Italian, 724 ; and the Colombian Loan, 2 to 1 prem. Business in the Railway Share Market has been dull, and several of the principal undertakings exhibit a decline. Great Eastern, Lancashire and Yorkshire, Brighton, Metropolitan, North Eastern (Berwick), and South Eastern have each declined Ss., and North Western 10s. The Foreign and Colonial lines generally remain inactive. Grand Trunk of Canada have advanced I, and Great Western of Canada i,-. Bank and Miscellaneous Shares continue in good demand, and fully maintain previous rates. BRITISH FUNDS —CLOSING PRICES. Bank Stock 3 per Cent. Reduced Annuities 3 per Cent.

A very fashionably-dressed young woman, named Theresa Lovett, was placed at the bar charged with being drunk and disorderly. Police-constable F 165, said that last evening, about 6 o'clock, he was on duty in the Strand, when he saw the prisoner go up to a gentleman who was looking at some pictures in one of the shop windows. He appeared to re pulse her, and in a short time afterwards he saw her accost another gentleman, and as he evidently appeared annoyed by the conduct of the woman he took her into custody. She resisted very much, but eventually she was taken to the station-house, but not before she had bit him in the thigh rind tore his trousers in such a manner as to render them useless. She was very drunk. Mr. Corrie—What have you to say to the charge ? Prisoner—l am a respectable married woman, and I totally deny the assertion of the constable. Mr. Currie—l must say I don't think you have conducted yourself much like one. Where is your husband ? Prisoner—l can send for him. Mr. Corrie—Very well, do so; I will delay the case until he is in attendance. In about an hour a very respectable young man, about 25 years of age, attended, and, in answer to the magistrate's questions, said he was a clerk, and that the prisoner was his wife. Mr. Corrie—The constable says she was very drunk in the Strand, and as she was conducting herself impropErly he took her into custody. Had she been drinking last night ? The Husband—No, your worship. We had been on a visit to some friends in the City, and after we left them we had some bread and cheese and a glass of stout each. Mr. Corrie—What, only one glass of stout ? The Husband—At that time; before, however, I left her, we had another, and that certainly was the extent of the drink we had taken. She was returning, with the inten tion of meeting me, when the circumstance occurred. Mr. Corrie—She has acted in a very improper manner. Prisoner—l resisted the constable because he took away my reticule, which contained a valuable card case, with nearly a pound's worth of silver in it, and an umbrella that cost a guinea. The Constable—l never touched her property, your wor ship. If she has lost it, it must have been during the time she was struggling with me. Mr. Corrie—Did she hurt you mach when she kicked or bit you ? Constable—Yes, your warship, I can feel the effects of it now. The Husband—l don't believe for one moment my wife was drunk ; she is, however, a very excitable woman. Mr. Corrie—Then, you should not allow her to drink so much stout. Two glasses of it will sometimes make a man drunk. The inspector who took the charge says she was very drunk. I fine her 20s. for assaulting the constable, and also 20s. for the damage done to his trousers. Prisoner—How am I to recover my property ? Mr. Currie—That I cannot tell. The fine was paid. LITERATURE. Good Society ; or, Contrasts of Character. By Mrs. Grey, author of "The Gambler's Wife." Three Vols. Hurst and Blackett. The second title of this novel is perhaps more appropriate than the first. It certainly does present to us many striking "contrasts" in the various "characters" introduced, but we cannot say that it affords us any very satisfactory specimens of "good" society, deservedly so called. Occasionally we meet with some clever sketch or some slrcastic touch possessing more or less of truthfulness in its appli cation, but as a whole these pictures of London society in the present day bear no closer resem blance to the actual world we live in than does the shifting phantasmagoria which presents itself to the dreamer's distorted vision. Some of the scenes and incidents indeed remind us of those French pic tures of English manners which have recently ex cited so much amusement, as a few examples will serve to testify. Among other interest ing contrasts of character Mrs. Grey introduces us to Lady Augusta Leigh, the youthful daughter of the Marquis of Mount Trevor, who, at the age of thirteen, emulating the example of her noble brothers, freely indulges in the language of the stable-yard and the betting-ring. Here, for ex ample is a scene that occurs between the Lady Augusta and her brothers Viscount Cassington and Lord Clarence Leigh : A YOUNG LADY OF GOOD SOCIETY. One end of the skipping rope had been made fast to an old• fashioned fire screen at a considerable height from the ground, the other was held by Lord Clarence, his hand some but still youthful face beaming with good humour. The Viscount, at a little distance, with a gold pencil case, was. with a more serious air, writing in a morocco pocket book. Their sister kept walking backwards slowly, and with a clear calculating glance was eyeing the rope. "Now look alive, Cass !" she cried, without removing her gaze. " Repeat the conditions of the bet." "Eleven to five that you don't clear that rope," he replied. " A. running leap, Cass ?" " Yes, a running leap." " You'd better not attempt it, Pussy," said Lord Clarence. "It's a good deal too high for you." " Shut up, old fellow." " You may have a severe fall and hurt yourself, my pet." " Shut up." " I really think you'd better give it up." Lord Clarence's solicitude only elicited a louder and more peremptory order for silence from the young lady, who continued to eye the barrier with knitted brows, as though doubtful her powers were equal to the anticipated strain upon them. " And what will you bet, Clarry, that I don't do it ?" she asked. " Will you bet a pony ?" " No, I don't like to tempt you into breaking your pretty neck." " Shut up I" was shouted in a voice that made both the young men laugh heartily. "I don't mind standing half a sovereign to a shilling," he added. " Dune. Book the bet, Cass," she cried. " Why, that's ten to one," she added. "Per Jupiter !as you used to say when you came from Westminster, I'll do it." " Now, my dear child," said her elder brother, taking his cigar from his mouth to knock off the ash, " don't be desperate; I should be inconsolable if anything terrible occur red." " Old fellow," you're afraid of losing your tin," she answered fearlessly, then clapping her hands with an exult • ing cry, she ran out of the room. The young lady soon returns, takes the leap, and wins the bet. The interesting trio are shortly after wards joined by the new tutor of Lord Clarence, who, venturing upon some complimentary remark to the young lady, is replied to in the following style : " 0, nonsense," answered the young lady, to the im mense gratification of her brothers. " I'm not quite such a fool as I look. The verdure in my organs of vision is not, by a good deal, so conspicuous as you seem to suppose. So you need not display your fine set of teeth in that way, as if you wanted to sell them at a profit." The mirth was louder than before, the loudest laugher being the object of the satirical remark. " I dare say you had them cheap enough," she added. The tutor above mentioned, the Rev. Emanuel Mordecate,M.A,, is another startling specimen of the habitues of Good Society. This gentleman, having been a very distinguished member of the Univer sity of Oxford, had joined the Tractarian party, and ultimately become a Catholic priest and a Jesuit. Ho is described as singularly graceful, ac complished, and fascinating, the friend and com panion of country curates and London marchionesses. Three times in the course of the narrative we are induced to accompany the reverend gentleman to his chamber, when about to retire for the night, and we become the astonished witnesses of his very surprising devotions. This fellow of Oxford, and member of the Society of Jesuits, prays, we are told, neither in English nor in Latin, neither ac cording to his present nor to his former belief, but, with his hat on, his devotions are uttered in Hebrew, and then appears before him the home of his childhood in the Kalver Straat of Amster dam, and his Jewish mother Esther. So much is Mrs. Grey impressed with this idea that, as we have said, no less than three times she repeats the same incident, with almost the same reflections. The conclusion of the career of this accomplished gentleman—this reve rend Sidonia—is as surprising as any part of it. The English curate, the Rev. Septitnns Fairholme, also amozes us by his marriage with a lady of very anomalous antecedents, the supposed wife of a very notorious nobleman, Lord Valiance. This noble lord affords us another strange specimen of the manners of the day. He is ill and alone, under the care of two ancient sisters, Dorcas and Charity, and he addresses them after the following amiable fashion : ference to the exact position of the fatal wounds I have inflicted." Lord Mount Trevor slightly opened his mouth, and very much opened his eyes. " I always imagined that the relative position of the liver and gizzard wings of birds dressed for the table, was deter mined by the cook." " My dear Mr. Drelincourt I" said the Marquis, impres sively, " surely you must he sufficiently acquainted with anatomy to know that the liver is always on the right side, consequently that the right wing is always the liver-wing, and birds having but one other wing-, my dear sir, that must be the gizzard-wing as a matter of course." The instances we have quoted are assuredly suffi cient to justify our assertion that Mrs. Grey has given us many striking "contrasts of character," but we cannot regard her as being per:ulii!rly felici tous in her pictures of " good" society. Among her happier definitions of character is that which in troduces Dr. Crumpe, a reverend bishop, " who had pub,ished a book on Hebrew points, and had mar ried the daughter of an Earl, but whether Dr. Crump° owed his bishopric to his book or to his wife nobody could decide. Public opinion, how ever, was more in favour of the latter, because every one bad seen the bishop's wife, and no one had seen the bishop's book !" The opening chapter of the first volume gives a very spirited sketch of Hyde park during the season, which Mrs. Grey asserts is t he true place to which to send a foreigner in order rightly to impress him with a sense of England's prosperity. Our extracts have, however, extended too far to admit of our quoting this very animated description. While doing justice to Mrs. Grey's well-known abilites as a novelist, we cannot, in re gard to this, her new work, award a very large s hare of commendation to her powers of discernment or discrimination. v i e Principles arid Practice of Vegetarian Cookery By John Smith, of Malton, Yorkshire. Ono vol pp. 272. F. Pitman. There is something sturdily plain and simple, as s turdily plain and simple, so to speak, as the honest E n glish name he bears, alike in the manner and the ma tter of the argument put forth by the author of t his little volume. Reading him, we are at moments almost persuaded to turn over a new leaf—by our selves, fairly and frankly, becoming Vegetarians. Though the truth must oat—(now that the writer's arg ument has been scanned by us, in its entirety, and examined too, we can, in very truth, assure Mr. sm i t h, of Melton, Yorkshire, quite dispassionately) thou gh the truth must ont !—we his readers and re viewers are not in the least Vegetarians, or likely to be Vegetarians. It will be best, perhaps, all things considered, to premise that at once. When we speak little work, h ere un d er oo tice, therefore, we of spea k the of it, in no way as what the politicians call partizans. - We are not sticklers for the carrying out of the crochet here propounded so very enthu siastically. We have a predilection—may we not confess it ?—for something else, besides cakes and ale! We have a s or t o f a not i on (lik e ma ny others ofour countrymen we conjecture) that quite as dis tinctly among our national melodies as either the anthem of " God Save the Queen" or as the sea chorus o f " R u l e B r i tann i a " there is yet glanother, tolerably familiar to all of us, ever pleasant tothe ears of the B r i t i s h Li on at F ee ding Time, calved e 0 I the Roast Beef of Old England" — with a c horal chant, ad blztunr, appended to it of " 0 , the Old English Roast Beef!"

Their dietary is wonderfully cleanly, and wholesome, and even Arcadian, of its kind. It gets rid of a world of cruelty. It does all that, it is all this, we are con strained to allow —and yet there is much also to be said, conscientiously even, on the side opposed to the Vegetarians. In a word, if they, the Vegeta turians, point to our First Parents feeding, among the flowers and verdure of Paradise, upon fruit—we, the Non-Vegetarians, who are unhappily, like the rest of the world, out of Paradise, may point in our turn to St. Peter's Vision o f t h e Sheet let down from Heaven, with all its motley contents! Putting aside, howeve r, the pros and cons of the whole ques tion, here ingeniously argued in this little work, but more thoroughly entered into, as a distinct thesis, by its writer in an earlier work of his, entitled " Fruits and Farinacea the Proper Food of Man," it must be said, in fairness to the author, that the little book here imme diately setting forth the Principles and Practice of Vegetarian Cookery addresses itself to anyone and everyone, alike to 'Vegetarians and Non-vegetarians. And it does so i n a manner so flavorous and gusta tive from first to last, that we might, any of us with pleasure, even when at our hungriest, make one at such well-spread boards as those, doubtless, any day to be found in the house of J o h n S m ith, of t Melton, Yorkshire • Soups, and omlettes, and fritters, savoury Pies, mushrooms and buttered eggs, French pancak es and English cheesecakes, puddings and tarts unnumbered, with fruits, ripe, dried, and preserved ---to say nothing of all imagin able kinds of s ucculent.vegetables, boiled and fried, or otherwise prepared in some wonderful way by the magic art practised in the kitchen. Although the little treatise here commented upon is at times, but, more particularly in the earlier portions of it, rather recondite in its character, being founded upon chemical analysis, and going into all sorts of abstruse matters, soientifically to the bewilderment of the unlearned —the general reader will find his " taste " very carefully consulted throughout. Here he may learn, as the title-page hints, all about " the most a pproved methods of the art," of the art that is of Vegetarian Cookery —meaning all about Boiling, Stewing, Steaming, Baking, Frying, Mashing, Serving, and (the two great sup plementary results aime d at in all) Eatin g and Drinking. THE SILVER COINAGE OF FRANCE.—The Council of State has a project for calling i n all the pi two francs, one franc fifty centim es, and twenty centimes. of A fresh emission of silver money, decimally divisionable, and amounting to 2bo millions of francs, is to be mad; and the standard of value is to be lowered to 835 per milk, the remaining 165 to be alloy. The French plead that sil ver in England and copper money in France pass current at a nominal rate sensibly superior to their intrinsic metallic value, and that the object of the projected debasement of their coinage is to prevent foreign and native speculators from draining France of her precious metals. SIR WARWICK TONKIN, Viee-Admiral of the coast of 1:),,, , v0n, who was buried with all the bon ours due to his rank and position, on Saturday last, was for many years Vice-Consul in France and Russia, and had been a Page of Honour to George IV. At the commence ment of the French war ho was a captain in the Royal Devon Miners ; at a later period he enrered the army, and served in Ireland. In 1826, Charles I. of France presented him with a gold medal of the first class, tor aid rendered by him in a case of shipwreck ; and in 1831 he was nominated a Chevalier of the Legion of Honour for a similar service. On his return to England he resided, up to the time of his death, at Teignmouth, and established the Royal Devon Yeomanry Cavalry, in which regiment he held the rank of Major. On two occasions he had the honour of conducting her Majesty and tha late Duchess of Kent in their passage through Teignmouth, and, in consequence of the courtesy Ile evinced on the occasions, he was created a knight. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CAUTION TO LICENSED VICTUALLERS.—Mrs. Mary Matthews, licensed victualler, of the Cock, Market-street, Haymarket, appeared before Mr. Knox to answer the com plaint of Inspector John Wilson, of the C division, of unlawfully and knowingly permitting drunkenness and other disorderly conduct in the house. Mr, Child, solicitor to the Licensed Victuallers Protec tion Society, appeared for Mrs. Matthews. Sergeant Collings, 16 C, proved going to the defendant's house at a quarter past three on the morning of the 23d of September, and finding 17 men and six prostitutes present, one of the men being drank. Some of the persons then left, including five of the women and the drunken man. He (the sergeant) visited the house at a later hour and found six men and two prostitutes, two of the men being drunk. He spoke to the defendant, and she cleared the house, and it was closed a little after four o'clock. Mr. Child addressed the magistrate on the defendant's behalf, stating that as his client was doing all she could to leave the house, he hoped his worship would not impose a fine but let the matter stand over for a time. , Mr. Knox fined defendant Ws. and costs. WESTMINSTER. James Copplestone and Joseph Williams were charged with burglary. The house entered was that occupied by the brother-in-law of the first-named prisoner. Nothing of any importance was stolen, and on being conveyed to the station Copplestone said he wanted to get four ) ears' penal servitude. Remanded for a week. THAMES. Mary Samuel, a domestic servant, was brought before the magistrate charged with attempting to destroy herself. The girl having taken a quantity of laudanum, afterwards jumped into the river Lea. A youth fortunately plunged in after her and prevented her accomplishing her purpose. A love affair was supposed to be the cause. Remanded for a week. MARKETS—This Day.

You horrible old Witch of Endor, you Sycorax—you____,, If you please, sir," said the elder, gravely, while put ting down her tray, "my name is Dorcas, and my sister's name is Charity." " Your name is Hell-cat, and your sister's Mother Beel zebub I" replied Lord Valiance. fiercely. The younger of the two women looked at her sister to see how she would take the affront, but finding that she looked over her spectacles at the offender with far more curiousity than indignation, she did nut venture on a reply. L ook here, you pair of Hecates. I'm not going to put up with this treatment. It don't suit my hook at all. I feel: dreadfully ill. Never felt so dreadfully seedy in all my life. I almost feel as if regularly used up—by Jove I do I I've been used to live among Christians, not among such antediluvian hippopotamuses as you. Let me have a good fire, a good dinner, and oceans of devilish good brandy and water—hot and strong. Do you hear, you untame able hyenas ?'' Miss Lucrezia Stickles, the American Governess, who proves to be the real Lady Valiance, is another exaggerated caricature ; while, on the other hand, among tho happier sketches is the rich self-made Mr. Dielineourt, who, having Purchased a country estate, aspires to emulate Sir Roger de Coverloy. Although at times somewhat ridiculous, the would be " Squire" is on the whole a very original and agreeable companion, and we can hardly believe even the Marquis of Mount Trevor would venture to befool him to the following extent : 11 - U3IOROUS CONDUCT OF A MARQUIS IN GOOD SOCIETY. A pheasant rose whirring from the Underwood almost at their feet. Mr. Drelinconrt raised his gun, and fired both barrels rapidly. The bird continued his course. The Mar quis fired, and the pheasant dropped, " That was a capital shot of yours, my dear sir," obseivod his lordship, with his pleasantest smile, a s th e y stopped to reload, and one of the dogs picked up the game. " Mine, my lord l" exclaimed Mr. Drelincourt, in un feigned surprise. " You see you hit him in the liver-wing. Now when a bird is hit in the liver-wing, he never drops directly ; he is able to fly with the gizzard-wing as if unhurt; but ho soon finds he has come to grief, and dow n he goes to earth as dead as a nail." " I never knew that. I assure your lordship I thought I had ruised him." * * * * S * * The Marquis's friend felt flattered and fluttered, and was inexpressibly gratified as he observed Tornkinson placing the five partridges in the game-bag with the pheasant. " Does your lordship think all of them were hit in the liver-wing ?" asked Mr, Drelincourt. " lam not certain," replied the Marquis deliberately, and with a peculiar solemnity of manner. "You see they dropped very soon after your fire, therefore I should not like to take on myself the responsibility of saying where they were hit without examination. Eut you hit them, my dear Mr. Drelincourt, beyond all doubt." " Let will your lordship kindly excuse me if I venture to say that I do not quite understand the application of the sporting terms your lordship is good enough, to use in re- COVENT The supply of fruit and vel The trade ruled steady, as fo!

INCREASE OF CATHOLICITY IN AMERICA.—Scarce five-and-twenty years ago, on the 24th November, 1838, the first Catholic mission was established at Fort Vancouver, then the principal post in the Oregon territory. During that comparatively short space of time the glad t.diegs of salvation have been preached in one way or ano ther throughout the length and breadth of that vast region, now au ecclesiastical province comprisin g three dioceses, Oregon, Nesqualy, and Vancouver's Island. These facts may give an idea of the wonderful increase of Catholicity in those countries. Catholicity is already diffused in a greater or less degree over all the great vast region stretch ing between the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains and the valley of the Mississippi. The foundations of a mag nificent chinch are laid there, broad and deep on the rock of ages, and judging by the progress made in the first 25 years of its existence, is it too much to expect that ano ther quarter of a century will see it flourishing as any other portion of the American church ?-21'etv York Tablet, 19th September.

They are of them selves a comparatively small community,being only about 200 in number, but among them are some of the most wealthy and eminent merchants in the city, and they are a remarkably intelligent class of men. As a body they are equally conspicuous for their general probity and decorum. Many of them have spent the greater part of their lives in this country, and speak our mother tongue with ease and grace. On this occasion the principal men among them have formed themselves into a com mittee to make the necessary arrangements, under the direction of Mr. Pandia Ralli, and permission has been accorded them to present an address to their Sovereign on his arrival in the metropolis. His Majesty is expected here in the beginning of next week, and it is understood that on the first Sunday after his arrival he will attend Divine ser vice at the Greek Church in London-wall, when a grand 7e Deuni will be sung on the occasion. The church, which is a small bat stately edifice, is being decorated with becoming splendour. A throne has been erected for his Majesty, and a temporary gal lery for the better accommodation of the congrega tion. The loyal address to King George I. has been engrossed on vellurn,magnificently illuminated, and it will be presented to his Majesty by a MAIL deputation of the community. SHIPPING—This Day.

ROYAL HORTICULTURAL SOCIETY.—An ordinary general meeting of this society, for the election of Fellows, was held yesterday in the Council-room at South Kensington —his grace the Duke of Buccleueb, K.G., vice-president, in the chair. The minutes of the last meeting having been read, and the candidates for ordinary fellowship having been proposed and duly elected, the chairman announced that his Imperial Highness the Grand Duke Nicholas of Russia had been recommended by the council for election as a member of the society. This announce ment was received with applause, and his Imperial High• ness was unanimously elected an honorary member. ROMAN RUINS NEAR CHELTENHAM. —A discovery made in a field named Wickham, near Andoversford, has recently been the source of considerable interest and speculation to antiquarians and such of the public as have been made acquainted with the particulars connected with the remarkable Roman site now in the course of excavation a short distance beyond the Andoversford Inn. For many years coins and various other relics of bygone ages have been discovered, which, submitted to accomplished numis. matists and others skilled in a knowledge of the manners and customs of the Romans during their stay in this coun. try, tended to confirm the belief that a station or village had existed in the locality. With a view to test the truth of the belief so generally entertained, works have been going on during the past fortnight, the excavations being under the personal superintendence of Mr. Laurence, the owner of the field, and a few gentlemen interested in the matter. Several acres have been found to be covered over with the substantial foundations of houses, some of which must have been of great size. The ground already opened has furnished abundantly the usual refuee of Roman sites, the so-called Samian ware, with black, red, or brown pot tery, bones, teeth, and horns of oxen and deer, teeth of sheep and horses, the large oyster shells, ornaments, and implements in bronze and iron, querns, window glass, &c, Tesselated pavements such as were found on the Sudely estate are also no doubt to be found here. Among the most curious and instructive of the discoveries yet made in this field is a piece of sculpture cut in the oolitic stone of our hills, showing three full length figures in high relief, the style of whose array may assist in the precise determination of the age. This, however, is a point hardly doubtful, for during the past week coins have been found and carefully described which range over the period between Domitian and Arcadius inclusive. These latter would imply that the remains belong to the very close of the Roman period in Britain.--Cheltenham Times.
