THE SUN, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, MAY 31, 1854. • -rw • COURT OF A LDERMEN. Yesterdaya. court was held. THE CORPORATION INQUIRY. The LORD MAYOR informed the court that he had re ceived the report of the Commissioners of Corporation Inquiry from Lord Palmerston, in which report it Was Shr. suggested that the Court of Aldermen should be totally abolished. Alderman WIRE moved, without making a single comment upon the contents, that the docume nt be re- St. 20 ferred to the committee of privileges. The motion was carried unanimously. 50 Sir PETER LAURIE congratulated the members upon 13 the disposition they had shown to avoid all discussion upon the occasion. 31 Alderman CARTER said he was anxious to remit a por tion of the fine which he had inflicted on a complaint 27' against an inhabitant of the City for keeping a larger quantity of gunpowder than was sa nctioned b y law. He 22 25 at the same time stated that he wa s induced to a pp l y to the court for their acquiescence, in consequence of the St. recothmendation of the Secretary of State, upon an in- St. quiry into the circumstances. 50 Alderman FAREBROTHER said lie perfectly approved 50 of the decision of Alderman Carter, who had taken a 20 most correct view of the question brought before him in 20 his magisterial capacity, and could not consent to depre- 10 ciate that judgment by remitting an y p art of the penalty, N which he certainly considered t o be necessar y as a se curity from any awful danger. He spoke from the irn , ' 95 pression which the. newspaper report had made upon ig 1Q SHARE MARKETS. (THIS DAY.) BRITISH RAILWAYS. I Paid.' RAILWAYS. Closing Prices this day. Leasing Compans.

Mr. Clemmett, in whose premises the gunpowder had, we believe, been found, here stated from the bar that the report from which Alderman Farebrother's impression had arisen was erroneous, and begged to be heard upon the subject, but was told that the court could not per mit any informality of the kind. Several members said the subject would be most pro perly investigated in a committee, and it was accordingly referred. SWEARING IN OF THE ALDERMAN FOR QUEENHITHE. Mr. Horton, the clerk of the Mayor's Court, appeared at the bar with the return of the election of Mr. Wm. Anderson Rose, as alderman for the ward of Queenhithe, in the room of Mr. Hooper, deceased. The new alderman was then introduced by Mr. Ken nard, Mr. George Sewell, and a number of the most in fluential inhabitants of the ward. 93 - 95 94 - 96 )0 Aberdeen k A.rabg. Nottng.

Alderman and Sheriff WIRE presented the following report to the court : "In obedience to an order of this court of .the 22d April, to consider the petition of Mr. R. Wallis, praying the court to order the money and jewellery found on the person of Louis Myers by the police, upon his apprehen sion on a charge of offering stolen property for sale, upon which he has since been convicted, may be de livered up to the petitioner for the benefit of the credi tors of the said Louis Myers, and to report our opinion thereon, we, your committee for general purposes, do cer tify, that, in obedience to the said order, we have taken the petition into consideration, and have been at tended by the City Solicitor, and also by Mr. Teague, the solicitor of Mr. Wallis, whom we severally heard thereon ; and we directed a letter to be written to the Commissioner of Police, to allow Mr. Teague and ono person with him, to inspect the said articles of jewellery, for the purpose of identifying the same, and we referred the petition to Mr. Sheriff Wire, to inquire into the circumstances connected therewith, and to report to us his opinion thereon. " That we have subsequently been attended by Mr. Sheriff Wire, who reported that he was of opinion, under all the circumstances, the prayer of the p e tition might be com plied with, upon sufficient security being given to in demnify the City and the officers of the police and in returning the said money and articles of jewellery, we th recommend this court to pass an order authorising the police-officers holding the same to return it for the purposes aforesaid, upon the parties giving security to the satisfac tion of the City solicitor." The report was then unanimously agreed to. A report was brought up recommending that the allowance of 2001. per annum granted for many years to the widow of an alderman should be discontinued. Al dermen Farebrotber and Copeland were for continuing the allowance to the end of the year, but the great majority of the court, amongst whom were Alderman Lawrence and Sir R. W. Carden, were most decidedly opposed to the grant on the ground " that the lady had 180/. a-year of her own, and that all her family are extremely well provided for." The report was agreed to. 8f 8 5 1024 3 7i 98 i i i i & 50 40 25 25 MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.) 20 CORN EXCHANGE. To-day's market was very scantily supplied with Eng liah wheat.

STATE OF TEA DE. ( From the Manchester Guardian of this day.) • MANCHESTER, May 30.—There are varying accounts given of this day's market by different parties ; some stating that prices are generally somewhat steadier, others that they are still inclining downward. We con sider that the business effected to-day has been at the lowest prices of last week in most descriptions of , yarns and goods, and that, in this way, operations of fair amount in the aggregate have taken placs. The market is not worse than it was, but it is no bet ter. The most trifling difference in price sends away buyers, who continue to act with the greatest caution. India letters by way of Trieste are received, and they report favourably of the Calcutta market. This has led to some renewal of the inquiry for suit able yarns and the lighter sorts of shirtings and jacco nets, the prices of which continue steady. Little atten tion is paid on our exchange to the report of an increase of sales at Liverpool yesterday. There was no life on the other side, according to the last accounts. HALIFAX, May 27.—We have again had a slack mar ket in our piece hall, and few goods of any description have changed hands. In yarns and wools the transac tions are far from extensive, without any noticeable variation on the quotations. ROCHDALE, May 29.—We have not had much change in the flannel market to-day. There is a better feeling amongst the buyers, and a greater disposition to pur chase, but prices are much the same as those of last week. The wool market remains quite as inactive as it has been for some weeks past, and prices have under gone little or no change. HUDDERSFIELD, May 30.—The market is still flat, but a slight improvement on last week has been ex perienced. The manufacturers are disposing of very few goods in the market ; and the quantity making to order is very limited compared with what is usual at this season, when orders for heavier goods a re g enerall y looked ' out by the export houses. There has been a slight improvement in the wool warehouses, but no sales of large amount effected. Manufacturers and merchants seem to be acting very cautiously. TO KENNETH. (From Eliza Cook's Journal.) Kenneth, my hound, you are watching my pen, As you would the stag in Highland glen ; And as I've no "Memoir" nor " Sonnet " to do, I'll just tell in few words what I think of you. I know you could give a blazoned descent, •With which even a Spaniard would be content; From the breed of the Gordons and old Glengary, The noblest of hunters—the fleet and the wary : But like many with pedigree rare and brave, You've a taint of something base — You've been stealing the bacon—you know you have, Dog of an ancient race. You have strength of muscle, and length of limb, — Your jaws are deep, and your beard is grim ; Your fangs are strong and ivory-white — Your mouth is as black as a cloudy night : No doubt the fangs and the mouth could drag Down low to the earth the wild red stag. They could grapple and hold on the trembling haunch, With a wound that the death-chill alone could staunch 'Tis pleasant to hear, the wise ones utter The worth of your power and pace ; But why did you swall on that pound of butter, Dog of an ancient race ? Your snake-like tail might fitly serve As a model of art, with its pendulous curve; Your body is fine in every line, With its broad deep chest, and length of spine : Your skin is the truest of colours they say, Neither black, nor blue, nor white, nor grey, But a mingling of all, which presents to the eye A grizzle of most unpaintable dye. You can lay your paws, with their ebony claws, On my shoulders, with elegant grace, But you help yourself from the pantry shelf, Dog of an ancient race. Your eyes areas clear, and as brown, and as bright, As over kept antlered buck in sight ; They gleam like flames from Vulcan's forge, As you follow the game through the forest gorge : They welcome me home with a look of love, Blending the gaze of the eagle and dove ; They beam and dilate, and sparkle and stare, Till Laughter itself seems dwelling there. They are beautiful eyes when they look askance, From your favourite hearth-rug place, But at dinner they have a sad " stealing glance," Dog of an ancient race. Your bay is a musical sound I own, 'Twixt the howl of the wolf and the bugle's tone ; But you should'nt "give tongue" with such ready zeal, When I leave you alone with a cutlet of veal. . Could you speak, you would tell me that breathings of fame Laud many who do precisely the same ; And so I suppose while " high blood " is in vogue, We must patiently wink at a well-bred rogue. Sir Kenneth ! when venison flies through the glen, Be a stag-hound in every pace; But when dished on the board, be a tarrier * then, Dog of an ancient race. ELIZA COOK 4 ' We trust our readers will pardon this bad and " slow " COURT CIRCULAR.

Counterparts ; or, The Cross of Love. By the Author of " Charles Auchester." 3 vols. Smith and Elder. " Two forms that differ in order to correspond, this is the true sense of the word ' Counterpart.' " With this text of Coleridge, we are introduced to the work. It is a significant one, foretelling its depth of purpose and grandeur of design; yet there is nothing over-strained in effort or overloaded in ornament in the style before us. It is true there are flights of fancy which seem exaggerated to those who care not to consider how bright may be their course, or how exalted their aim ; and, also, we meet with passages of a more abstruse and rea soning kind, which will undoubtedly be classed by many as too grave and - didactic. However, the question is, whether occasionally a work of this character is not acceptable and welcome. If it does not hold out an attraction for the million, Inv it not contain treasures for the thoughtful and re fined—for the many to whose high standard of taste but few spirits can minister, and who may rejoice at a meeting with a kindred intelligence ? There are some who do not always wish to be reminded of the most sordid and volatile attributes of their being when they turn to the contemplation of fic tion, whose desire is not to see reproduced for the thousandth time the giddy world of pleasure, or to peruse embellished accounts of the work-day world. Exciting and admirable as such themes may be, there are occasions when higher and purer thoughts intrude, and then it is acceptable to behold deli neated the workings of the world within. The feelings of the heart are the avowed and acknow ledged subject of romance ; but here they are ana lysed as well as chronicled, and striking events do not form a conclusion to a scene so much as they seem a prelude to the illustration of some hidden motive, or some forewarned ideas. The range of characters is not very extensive in the story, but there are enough for the memory to grasp at once, as, though the incidents are not numerous, they seem so from their detail, and the :place is so minutely described that the reader almost forgets it is a small city of the earth that gives rise to such vivid pictures. The complication of mischances and misunderstandings is almostalost mystical to trace, and yet on looking back past it all seems clear and simple. The most pro minent and perhaps most interesting of the cha racters is Sarona, a physician of extraordinary ability and untiring zeal. The beggar at his gate was served before the rich man waiting in his drawing-room ; " where'er mankind or misery was found" there did he hasten, and generally to be of service. His sister, Salome, does not appear to so much advantage as her brother ; her nature is not so thoroughly displayed to the view, and she must be considered as a sort of background to throw into relief the dazzling brightness of the first portraiture. Besides, her story is of the past ; she only feels for others—her day for self-suffering is over, whether for joy or sorrow. Cecilia Dudleigh forms the most striking part of the narrative. Many of her thoughts and actions seem quite original and unexpected, but then her position was a strange one. Bernard is a pleasing and fascinating study : it is natural to be led to contemplate his beauty, his talents, and his grace of mind and manners, till w e lose sight of the higher and nobler purposes of his friend Sarona. The latter seemed to constrain admiration and enthusiasm, for his lofty disregard of self, and his proud priority of intellect, while Bernard invited all by his engaging airs and loving heart to rejoice in the powers he exercised with so benign an influence. Rose de Berri seemed as beautiful-and fragile as the flower which bore her name, but in reality her spirit was strong, and too strong for her happiness. The extremes of pride and humility are made to bear the same sad fruits, and reap ihe same bitter consequences. Bernard, distrustful of himself, in comparison with Sarona's might ; Sarona, too lofty to let his most intimate friend understand him ; Cecilia, too self reliant to put faith in others' best intentions ; and Rose, toe timid to allow herself to see what was passing around her—all these varying feelings com bined to the same end. Misconception of motives did not lead to any confusion, as the mistake of one was worked upon as the mistake of all. Hence Bernard led Rose to the altar, while Sarona and Cecilia attended as their nearest and dearest friends, while each felt that the ceremony they knelt to implore a blessing upon, was the sign manual of the separation of his or her spirit from its counterpart upon earth. In Bernard and Cecilia great resemblance was observable, if they did not meet as even friends outwardly, their spirits communed, as it were, face to face, each in thelglorious creations of the other. It was the melody of Bernard's poetry that first sug gested to Cecilia the harmony of her own composi tion in another sphere. He is first introduced to us writing in the midst of a storm, which did not affect the sunshine of his dreams, or the serenity of his visions. " There was blood in his veins which the thunder could not curdle, and his nerves were soft sheathed, like a sleeping infant's, from sympathies with the lightning." He wrote thus on and on, only pausing as his imagination whis pered music too sweet for the poet to utter. In a different scene did Cecilia compose. In the night also, but a quiet one, came to her mind the forms of beauty which clothe with loveliness the poet's dreams, and crown with lustre the imaginings of the musician. " The ideas came down, the seraphs from their light in light, who are known without seeing, felt without hearing, the pulses of silence began to play, and the thousand-toned whole was hers, the one that is manifold as music." The last important passage in the story is en titled " Amaranth." "It was a day in the twilight month November, in the city whose autumn is like a second spring," when Sarona ventured to recal Bernard from his exile to return to his dearly be loved home. It was at a time of sickness that the two young and fragile ones had been sent to the sea, so congenial to both their tastes. In order to escape contagion they returned ; but how, to die in sight of land and safety. The very measures adopted for safety for the susceptible Bernard were to destroy him. He landed at some infected town on the coast, and only lived to send for his friends. Sarona descended to.the cabin where his heart's dearest friend was dying, while lie had supposed him safe for years. His professional skill soothed the agonies he was enduring, and then Bernard demanded to be taken on deck to die in the light and breath of heaven. In the last hour he turned to her who controlled his spirit and ruled his heart. Cecilia was by to offer her assistance and support. "Then Bernard opened his eyes upon the twin of his immortal : his sister for eternity. " should like to go to sleep', were the words of his last earthly voice. Cecilia felt that they were for her. " The old proud evening when her soul had mastered his, came over her, then sank : her memory turned dark within her. In his strength he had slept at her command ; but the charm was spent in her dry eyes and brain. And the will, her power and her pride, passed out of her in prayer : no inward voice, nor form of thought, nor recollected music ; but a passion which swept eternity and fainted at Jehovah's throne. While Sarona prayed that he might be spared, at least till they could bear to lose him—while Rose lifted up her infant longings for his life and health—the one who loved him with a love more strong than death, prayed only that he might die, and die in sleep. 'And he slept, . with breath that slept between lips just open, till the first of the morning twilight ; when Sarona, who had never stirred, looked up in Cecilia's eyes. The phantoni laid, should disturb the soul no more. If misfortune and suffering are the prevailing features in the scenes here enacted, there is nothing terrible in any of them. The sorrows are not always devoid of a peculiar calm and a solemn pathos, which made them in some mea sure appear as joys to the s ensitive sp which irits they visited. In all the varyi n g struggles in the proud and the lowly were engaged there was the same holy purity of purpose, and the same triumph over the mean and the selfish. It was not their • end when their hope s were destroyed, and Sarona and Cecilia seemed nerved anew to the struggle. - The cross of love they placed with the other crosses of life. On one occasion Cecilia remarked on a pas sage of the " Pilgrim's Progress," when they heard " the bells of heaven ringing over the river," so is it with the spirit of this history. The counterparts could not be joined on earth ? but they were cap. able, by the intensity of their sorrow, to measure what should have been the fullness of their joy ? In sounding its depths and going up to its heights, there came a peace to the troubled heart, while the genius of poetry and the glories of music alike spoke the language of the laud of pr om i se an d of rest. As the bells of heaven ringing over the river, they seemed to inspire them to the highest and the holiest ;• and in the contemplation of the subjects to which this life can set neither limits nor a bound, they sought the counterparts of their spirits in the immortal and the divine. Edward Willoughby. By the Author of " The Discipline of Life," 2 vols. Hurst and BlacKett. The writer of this work is already well known to the readers of fiction. Her former works have gained her a high reputation. She is not an author who writes from any trivial motive, but all her works show an earnest purpose, and that purpose is an elevating one. In her first work, " The Discipline of Life," the dangers and difficulties of the world were shown in various aspects, and the need of steadfastness and principle to meet them. Her second had A still more detnito.object, the portzkyal 16i 17 • 80 79i 3Ci 16 81 20a 4 6/ 7 ex b N.—Traffic re . 216,033 11 8 . 15,679 2 6 $34 9 2 I , c 1:1 \`...* SPltti-Tat • of the evil consequences of two great, thouglii 2 Coli - 4' •-• mon failings, " Pride and Irresolution." the history ,of " Clare Abbey" the need oflaAxiil3o) . of purpose, and practical devotion to the di4i _esiK our calling, are clearly [exemplified. proof that this authoress preserves the importanctZ of the story as the first object, .is the fact that she has never published a tale extending to the estab lished length of three volumes. A direct object, such as the development of a character, or the results of one quality doe's not generally require that compass, and it is one of the secrets of the powers of the author's style that she never tanta • lises the reader by wandering from the point to.. tedious descriptions, or useless discussions, .1 Which occupy so much space in ordinary - romance. The present work depicts a strong 7- and resolute character, possessed of , many. ad mirable qualities, which have been marred- by a faulty education and contact with unworthrcom pauions, and with no higher guide than his own will. It shows us the trials, faults, and repentance • - by which the fiery spirit' was tamed, and the ener gies cries so often misdirected turned to good. The story opens by introducing us 'to its dramatis per sonce at the moment when the hero is forming a plot, which has long been a favourite subject for writers of romance. Not to mention minor names, Goldsmith, in his charming " Vicar of Wakefield," has adopted it in the case of Mr. Burchell. But the authoress evidently does not approve of it, for Ralph Caradoe, the hero's great friend, and an ex- . cellent, high-principled character, objects strongly . to the idea, and asserts that " good never came of • evil," and that it is a deception and a cheat. Ed ward, however, persists, and at length his friend reluctantly yields. The plan is this.. Edward is the heir to an entailed estate, the owner of which, . . Sir Hugh Willoughby, is a cousin of his father's. Owing to a difference in political opinions, Sir Hugh had quarrelled with the elder Mr. Wil loughby, and his anger descended with double fury to the son. Led away by his father's opinions, Ed ward had allied himself to some worthless cha racters, in the belief he was pursuing Freedom, Justice, and Truth. Sir -Hugh, who was a country gentleman of the old school, belieVed that every- . • thing should be left as it was, and 'every landlord Edward's d rd reside on his own estate. He had heard. of: 's disreputable companions, and a tour abroad did not raise him in his estimation. Rog gerated reports reached him, which. he fully be lieved. He returned Edward's letters unopened, rejected his advances, and looked on him as an utterly worthless character. Edward, meanwhile, had set his heart on forming the acquaintance of Sir Hugh's family with the -,hope of marrying one of his daughters, of whom he had often heard. He therefore proposed that his friend Caradois should take a house in their neighbourhood for a few months, and invite his company under the as sumed name of Leigh. The plan was carried out and went on successfully. Sir Hugh took a fancy to both strangers, and invited theni constantly. Edward Willoughby did fall in love, as he had pur posed, with Sir Hugh's eldest daughter, Clare, an almost perfect character. But the storm was coming. On the day of, the marriage of the young est sister, Ellen, many strangers Were invited. In the evening au inquisitive_ and meddlesome guest recognised Edward, and betrayed him to Sir Hugh. He had that very day . told. the truth - to Clare while confessing his affection for her. Sir - Hugh, of a violent temper, though a kind-hearted man, was like a madman: The two friends left the house, and, notwithstanding subsequent attempts to soften Sir Hugh, left the neighbourhood in. despair. The lovers met once or twice, but Clare, . firm in her filial duty, would not give hope or pro mise. She could only beg him to deserve her father's favour. He left her in bitterness, vexed at having his will thwarted ; half indignant with Clare in his most reckless mood, he went to the house of his friend Caradoc. There he found his sister Lilia, a beautiful spoiled child, whose atten tion to her invalid father interested him, and whose kindness to himself was still more attractive. Despite the warnings of his faithful friend Ralph, iu a moment of madness he proposes to her—she accepts, and he is miserable. He feels that his love for Clare is not, and never will be, extin guished, that ho is almost indifferent to his chosen wife, and though his case seemed before hopeless, yet he himself has put the finishing stroke. While struggling with these thoughts, Ralph enters with a letter sealed with black. Sir Hugh is dead ! Half an-hour earlier would have saved him. To add to his remorse he subsequently discovers that Sir Hugh had relented on his deathbed, and desired that his. daughter should be made happy as soon as Edward was worthy of her. He confesses his misery to Clare, and she, ever just and right-minded, though appalled by this unexpected blow, bids him keep his word unless Lilia releases him. But Lilia does not know all the facts of the case, and loves him too well to draw back . readily. They are married, Clare goes to live near her sister, and Edward. brings his bride to dwell in her early home. But the reformation has begun before this. In solitude and repentance he has learned his weakness and . his wilfulness, and he turns all the energy of his fiery nature to subdue and control himself. But they are miserable. His wife knows that he does not love her, and her ill-regulated temper will not let her be contented with his calm and considerate attention. After two years she dies, and Sir Ed ward remains superintending his estate and depen dents, Ho will not hastily approach Clare, as though she could be taken up and cast off at his pleasure. Besides, he does not feel worthy of her. Four more years elapse, and at length, all trouble& over, the two long-severed ones .are joined, and their hopes realised. The years of suffering have taught Clare an angelic patience ' • but to - Edward they have brought more—they have taught him that it is not always good to have our own will, but that happiness is to be found in a strict main. tenance of principle above impulse, duty above in clination. We cannot help regretting, however, that the writer, who is . certainly not defiCient in imagination, should have resorted to the old, im probable, and unworthy expedient of the death of the husband or wife,- who is in the way of a happy conclusion.. It ill accords with the moral or with. the character of her story. Every thing else is probable and true to nature, but this one catastrophe belongs to the senti mental school of romance, and to the style of an author inferior to the writer of " Edward Wil loughby." It would have been better to have sepa rated them by other means for a time—to have made Edward commit some other rash act or guilty imprudence—than to have resorted to such an in cident. In real life we feel shocked and pained if we hear anticipations or rejoicing respecting a death • and when the characters are so vivid and life-like, it produces something of the same effect in fiction. Where there is so much to admire, however, we may well make some allowances ; and we are sure that its readers will not be disposed to cavil. The most important lessons are impercept ibly taught—the beauty of firmness in a right course, the sin of obstinacy in a bad one. We are shown that good cannot come from evil, nor evil from good ; that the wilfulness of .our wishes does not lead to happiness any more than an obedience to the Divine will and an accordance with duty leads to sorrow. Rigid moralists have objected to the perusal of fiction : it would be well if many more serious works impressed these lessons as strongly as "Edward Willoughby."

EMIGRATION TO AUSTRALIA,—When complaints of emigrants as to their accommodation and treatment on board of vessels destined for this important and extensive colony are so general, and, in the majority of instances, well founded, it is gratifying to find a few exceptions in which not only has there been no complaint, but the captain and other officers have received the warm con gratulations of the passengers for their conducedt itowar ing. ds them, and for the nautical skil l they displayn br a voyage ing them safely on so long and hazardous . This was the ease with the fine and fast sailing ship the Utopia, which sighted the Australian shore at Mount Gambier, in 80 days f ro m the time of lea vin g Liverpool. She crossed the line in four weeks, and reached Portland in seven weeks and six da y s from thence ; thusbeating the clipper ship Eagle by two days from the equator. For six weeks the Uto p ia averaged 2.00 miles a day. The emigrants were of a very superior class ; throughout the whole voyage they conducted themselves with the greatest propriety. On the Utopia reaching her destina tion, Captain WillOnson, who is a native of Campbeltown, Argyllshire, was presented with testimonials from each class of emigrants, expressing their admiration of his seamanship, thanking him for his kind, amiable, and their wish that he :s g sful commander and gentlemanlymigit b be lon long o s n p d a u r c e t d , a t e n d h e c o a n e v u e e y e i benefactor to those who under his car e might seek Aus traliaDe landr.Thoefmtheeei,reanddohpiteiolnad. acacknowledgments n o wa6llllqmsuper ledgments for their attention to the sick during intendant,as the y, also received warm the passage. 50 50 2 100 1 25 la 2la a
