A NOVEL. • " the author, we are convinced. is young, otherwise we could hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be half of his heroes and heroines. Ha la a writer of genius, inspired by a high standard of morality and religion, and by a laudable love of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan guage i which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays on matters that are the prima mobllia of the actions which cha- ActerLso nature's r.cbility. The writer evidently belongs, though he ..as marked per se peculiarities, to the school cf the Dis:aelis, Man miles, and Smythes."—Observer.

It is one of the most interesting and en gaging novels which the present season has produced. Ot the cha racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have said. The other ladies who play conspicuous parts in the tale are Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and impulsive genius, passionately fond of music aid poetry; and Julia Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.

The Executive Committee, Directors, and Managers of "The Grand National Concerts" have the honour to announce that the FIRST SERIES will commence on TUESDAY, the 15th ef October next. The Committee have the utmost pride and satisfaction in an nouncing that, by the gracious permission of his Majes. y the King 'of Prussia, they have been enabled to secure the entire Chorus of the Berlin Chapel Royal, consisting of fifty male voices, under the direc , tion of Herr Kapelmeister Neidthardt. The extraordinary perfec tion of this chorus is well known by reputation is every artiste and amateur in Europe, but the opportunity of hearing them in any town or country except their own has never hitherto been afforded. During their engagement, several pieces, entirely new to this conntry, and compased expressly for the Royal Chapel by Men delsshon, Neidthardt, &c., will be performed, in addition to selec tions from the choral works of Bach. Handel, and Marcelo, togs. ther with the celebrated " Battle Chorus," which has created so extraordinary a sensation in Germany.

' - TILE dangerous speculator, had he called upon the people of these islands to celebrate a festival in homage of every degrading and pernicious principle, it would scarcely have been possible to excite a more violent storm of depreciations. The whole proposal has been treated as the target of sarcasms, of sar- CAMS pointed by ignorance and poisoned by malig nity. It has been ridiculed not only in the aggre gate, but even to the minutest particulars. Instead of being grateful for an opportunity so advantageous for the advancement of commerce, for the incite ment of industry, and for the improvement of ma nufactures, a large part of the community has been grumbling at its approach as at a prospect prophetic only of evil and discomfiture. Miserable predic tions of all kinds have been disseminated. Now it has been maintained that the Exhibition must prove a failure from the indifference of foreign nations, from the circumstance of no one, or scarcely any one, coming to London in 1851 from the continent. Then it has been whispered by others that the Exhi bition must turn out a failure from an exactly coa -1 trary reason, namely, from the circumstance that so many will flock to the metropolis that the con course will be regarded as a perpetual an noyance, and every individual derive from it only a sense of dissatisfaction. Again it has been pretended by one class of curmudgeons that ill effects must inevitably result from the disclosure of our modes and processes of manufacture while another class has maintained that must necessarily be engendered between ourselves and the foreigners, in consequence of a competition which will end in becoming a rancorous rivalry instead of a generous emulation. All the changes of complaint, in fact, have been rung upon the subject, almost from the first period of its suggestion, cer tainly from the moment when the Com mission for its development was established. Recognising from the energy and industry of the Commissioners the fact that the scheme of his Royal Highness would, in spite of all obstacles, actually be carried into operation, these wretched fore boders of evil evinced only an increased pertinacity of opposition. Failing somewhat in their endeavour to influence the public mind prejudicially in its estimate of the Exhibition in its entirety, or even in its details, their attention was next directed to the spot selected to become the arena of international competition, and upon the choice of that locality they forthwith grew snore than ever censorious. The bare idea of Hyde-park being the site of the proposed building seemed to strike them as altogether preposterous. They scouted the notion as one so supremely ludicrous as to be scarcely credible. They could scarcely have derided more loudly a proposition for erecting the Hall of the Ex hibition upon the apex of the lightning conductor at the Duke of York's Column, or upon the point of that unsightly bunch of gilding . which adorns the summit of the Monument. Without of course pre tending that the exact spot chosen for the construc tion of the glass and iron palace of the Exhibition of Industry is the most appropriate that could have been decided upon in the lengtti and breadth of the capital, we may very safely assert that no matter what the place selected fur that structure, it would in fallibly have been declared by these grumbling depre ciatory tube about the last spot that should have been dreamt of as suited to the occasion or the enterprise- Happily the personages entrusted with the carrying out of the undertaking have turned a deaf ear to all the objections raised against them by the more captious of the population, advancing resolutely in their labour of preparation undeterred by sneers or calumnies, by the noisiest complaints and the darkest forebodings. Had not this been the character of their proceeding matters would have re mained in statu quo so long as to have precluded the Government from the chance of carrying into effect the beneficent notion propounded by his Royal Highness the Prince Consort. Had the Commissioners hearkened in any one instance to the insidious advice of their critics they must inevitably have fallen into a dilemma not unlike that of the old man and his ass in the narrative of the classic fabulist. Fortunately for the well-wishers of the Exhibition, for those in any way interested in its conduct, the original plan has been followed from the commencement without any appreciable modification. By the time the sti pulated month in 1851 has arrived everything will have been completed. Already most of the space com prised in the projected building has been allotted, and, in all probability, the last portion of it will have been distributed before the close of the present October. From this it may be perceived that, while there is no lack of activity on the part of those entrusted with the direction of the enterprise, there is also, at the same time, no deficiency of confidence among those who are disposed to participate in its advan tages. So conspicuously are these two facts already developed, that we are sanguine that all sounds of op position and evil augury will have died away before the lag rivet has been driven and the last fragment of scaffolding has been removed. Another letter has been received from Mr. SMITH O'BRIEN, dated the 98th of February last, in which, like those to which the attention of Parliament and of the public generally has already been directed, the unfortunate gentleman complains bitterly of the treat ment he has received at the hands of the colonial au thorities, and which he ascribes to the orders of the Governor, Sir WILLIAM DENISON, and the Comp troller-General, Dr. HAMPDEN. It is, however, but a repetition of the former charge, which has been fully canvassed ; fur he distinctly admits that in consequence of the state of his health there had been " a relaxation of the restrictions under which he was placed, which had the effect of restoring his health," and he says nothing of having been again subjected to the vexatious regulations which be ap peared to feel so deeply. It is therefore to be hoped that the new instructions sent out from the Colonial office may have the effect of rendering his situation as comfortable as may be consistent with his safe custody, and as he himself will permit it to be. It is indeed deeply to be lamented that a gentleman of family and education, who had ever maintained the highest character for honour and integrity, should be an exile from his native land, deprived of the society of his wife and children, and of all that could render life desirable ; but Mr. O'BRIEN has only himself to blame. In every stage of the proceedings—in every matter in which he has been brought into col lision with the law of the land, he has been treated with great and almost singular lenity. Oa the first occasion, when the misguiied gentleman set the entire House of Commons at defiance, and refused to obey the established regulations, without which the business of the country could not possibly be carried on, he was discharged from confinement at the earliest moment consistent with the dignity of the august assemb/y, of which he was himself a member. So soon as the Committee on which be was appointed to serve bad concluded its-labours he was released by an unanimous vote of the House. Indeed, he would never have been consigned to the " cellar" Lad he left any loophole by which the Committee of Selection could have escaped reporting his conduct to the Hope, or the House itself from punishing his contumacy. Had he made any excuse, however trivial, or expressed a desire to be relieved from his attendance on that occasion, his request would have been readily acceded to; bUt, unfortunately, he would do nothing but give a direct and positive refusal to serve, on the untenable ground that, as an Irish Member, he would not in terfere in any matter in which the affairs of Ireland were not concerned. He wip, in fact, determined to be a martyr, and nothing could induce him to swerve from that insane resolution. LONDON ; TUESDAY, OCTOBER s, 1350. Experience had so fully d" , monstrated the certainty or even the most humane schemes of the philanthropist , meeting with opposition, that we felt assured from the first that all kinds of obj , ctions would inevitably be raised against next year's Industrial Exhibition. Nevertheless, we must acknowledge that we did not • for a moment anticipate anything' at all comparable to the fierce and unremitting attacks which have now far a considerable time been directed against the pro ject itself ar.d its illustrious originator. 'We had foolishly enough - conceived that " the force of. follq " would fail in an attempt so , egregious and malevolent, and that, in ad 'llition to this, some sentiments of common de. ~.cenay would have restrained even the most rash from maligning- the intentions of his Royal Highness the Prince Consort. In so imagining we have been grievously mistaken. It has, perhaps never fallen to the lot of any► proposition to encounter such a very ntica.kTous.and Yirille4t body* assailants. Had the Prince, instead of following the dictates of his elevated judgment, yielded to the suggestion of some His subsequent conduct was of a similar character. On his return to Ireland he bearded the Irish Government, and let slip no opportunity of exciting the people to resistance. He was indicted for sedi tion, and happy would it have been for himself had he not escaped the consequences of the minor offence through the zeal and ability of the accomplished ad vocate who conducted his defence, and the doubts of a juror, who dissented from his eleven brethren. The disagreement of the jury on that occasion afforded him the opportunity of subjecting himself to graver penalties, by committing the highest crime of which a British subject could be guilty—appearing in armed rebellion against the SOVEREIGN to whom he had repeatedly, as a magistrate and a Member of the Imperial Parliament, solemnly sworn to bear true allegiance. After the abortive attempt at Ballingarry, his cap ture, by what was tantamount to an act of self- SUN. LON DON. surrender, to which, with the singular disregard of "self" which constitutes so extraordinary a trait in his character, he was impelled by a desire to save the peasantry from the formidable consequences of sheltering or assisting a person in his un happy position, and his conviction by a jury of his couutrymen—a conviction which was affirmed unanimously by the Irish Judges, and subsequently by the highest tribunal in the British empire—he refused to accept the proffered mercies of our Most Gracious QUEEN. He demanded, as a matter of right, that the extreme sentence of the law should be car ried into execution, and, so far as practicable, de clined to accede to the condition on which the penalty of death was remitted. His obstinacy did not, how ever, draw down upon him the retribution which it would have undoubtedly provoked in " the good old times." He was not permitted to reap the natural fruit of his perversity, to expiate his offence upon the scaffold, a fate which he was willing to encounter. It was necessary to show that he could not set the Executive at defiance with:impunity, and the miti gated punishment of transportation was carried into effect ; but he was not classed with the common herd. One of her MAJESTY'S vessels was sent out with him and his companions, MEAGHER, Mintrius, and O'DONOGHUE, and no complaint has ever been preferred of their treatment during the voyage ; which, on the contrary, received, as it justly merited, the approbation of the prisoners themselves, and of the community at large. On their arrival at the place of destination a ticket of leave was offered to each of the state prisoners. This was contrary to the usual custom, which only concedes such an indulge.nce after a certain term of probation had been passed through. The extraor dinary privilege was gladly accepted by his associates, who unhesitatingly gave the required pledges ; but again Mr. O'Barert was determined on running counter to the authorities, and of bringing serious in conveniences upon himself. He refused the liberal offer, and appeared astonished at the personal suffering thereby occasioned. The Governor or the Comptroller-General could not travel out of the fixed regulations, but the moment there was an adequate excuse for their relaxation it was immediately con ceded. The scene of his imprisonment, Maria Island, is, as he himself declares, " as little objectionable as any other spot that could be chosen ;" and he might have the companionship of his wife and children if he himself would allow them to come to the colony. Under all the circumstances, every rational man must acknowledge that neither the Government at home nor the colonial authorities can be justly censured for the sufferings which the misguided gentleman has undergone, and which are altogether ascribable to the unswerving obstinacy of his own disposition. FIRE AT A LICENSED VICTUALLER'S AND BREWERY, AND MARROW ESCAPE —This morning, between two and three o'clock, a fire broke out on the premises of Mr. T. W. Smith, Lion Brewery, No. 13, Lambeth-walk, Vauxhall. The fire was discovered by the policeman on duty, who per ceived smoke issuing from between the shutters; he imme diately gave an alarm, and in a few minutes the lower part of the house was in flames, and the inmates escaped with great difficulty over the roof. The engines of the London Fire Brigade were quickly on the spot, but although they were worked with great alacrity, the fire was not subdued until the cellar and lower part of the premises were com pletely destroyed, and great damage was done to the brewery. 'File building was insured in the London and County Fire offices. Hunger that which gives the poor man his health and his appetite, and theiwant of which often afflicts the rich with satiety and disease.—Eliza Cook's Journal. THE FIRE IN THE CITY AND PROJECTED NEW STREET.—Yesterday an influential deputation of the in habitants of the Tower Ward waited upon Mr. Alderman Finids, to request him to use his influence in preventing a new street being made through the ruins of the late calami tous fire in Mark-lane. The deputation pointed out to the worthy alderman the necessity that existed for widening one part of Great Tower. street, which could be done by merely pulling down a few old dilapidated houses; but they argued that if a new street should be carried over the ruins from Catherine-court, Tower-hill, into Mark-lane, it would have the effect of greatly injuring the business of the various tradesmen residing in Tower-street, by taking the traffic away, and making the street a back thoroughfare, and the receptacle for all sorts of nuisances. The alderman having heard the matter dispassionately discussed, it was eventually agreed upon that a petition should be signed by the inha bitants of the ward, praying the improvement committee forthwith to order the removal of the few houses in the street before mentioned, in order to afford greater facilities to the increasing traffic to and from the docks. The deputation having thanked the alderman for the attention he had pail to them, then withdrew. THE LATE MURDER AT LAUGHARNE, SOUTH WALES.—The proceedings at the adjourned inquest on the body of the late Mrs. Severne, of Brixton, near Laugharne (of whose death, under sudden and suspicious circumstances, a notice has appeared in The Sun), although not sufficiently' complete to induce the jury to close their inquiry, have ne vertheless tended to establish the fact that the death of the deceased was caused by the administration of arsenic, and to strengthen the suspicion previously entertained that the poison was administered by her own cook, Elizabeth Gibbs. The examination of the different witnesses were extended over a very protracted period, and the inquiry was again adjourned. MR. MECHI ON ADVERTISING.—I think there is false delicacy amongst some people on this matter. In my opinion advertising is a legitimate means of making known the wants and wishes of both buyers and sellers—whether they be for an estate worth half a million of money, or for a pair of " Mechi's best razors." It is merely making an ex tension of your shop front in the newspapers, whether the article be seen there or in the window, in both cases its qualities remain to be tested., It never can answer to adver tise a bad article. By advertising a good one you extend your connexion, which might otherwise be limited by the number and class of people who happened to pass your door, and their connexions. For my own part, my spirit likes a wide range ; and I remember once receiving an order through the Hudson's Bay Company, from poor Mr. Simpson, on his Polar expedition, whilst almost at the same time I was sup plying a missionary from the Sandwich Islands. I believe when the taxes are taken off knowledge and advertisements, farmers will more frequently intercommunicate by the public papers, and thus avoid being devoured by jobbers and deal. ers, who now form a rather expensive set of connecting links between isolated farmers.— Clayton's Weekly Alntanack, THE LATE BARONESS ROTHSCHIED.—A public meeting is to be held at the Sussex Hall, Leadenhall-street, to•morrow (Wednesday) evening, for the purpose of found ing a " Hannah Rothschild scholarship," AS a memorial to this lamented lady. _ _ MINERAL PRODUCTS OF ENGLAND.—It has been thought highly desirable by the executive committee to ob tain for the great exhibi t i on such a collection of British mineral as shall give some idea of the mineral wealth of our country. With this view the committee have issued a eata— logue of the earths, clays, mineral carbon, spars, marbles, ores, precious stones, &c., requisite to form such a collection, with regulations as to the size o f th e spec i mens to be sent. In regard to building stones, cubes of six inches are recom mended, with one side rough and one finished.

Besides thesosixteen, it is as certained that there are at least five, if not six, persons miss ing, all of whom, it is feared, are lost. One of them was from Gorey, near St. Heliers ; another was on his way to New York from Rennes; and a third appears to have been an English Gentleman named H. W. Hall, of Bristol, who has been lately residing in Dinan. Of the rest no information has been received. The persons saved amount to twenty nine, exclusive of the crew. The Superb is a total wreck, having been washed off the rocks iuto deep water by the late hurricane. DANISH CATTLE. —The steam-ship Giraffe, ar rived from Tonningen, has brought 199 head of oxen and cows, and 34 sheep; and the steam-ship Wilberforce, ar rived on the same day from Tonningen, brought 192 head of oxen and cows, and 13 sheep, the produce of Denmark. The manners, customs, and domestic economy of the natives in this quarter will soon be familiar to her Ma jesty. On Friday week her Majesty called at a farmer's in Crathie, and partook of the homely cheer offered to her. She inquired the ages of his children, as they appeared before her, and, in return, mentioned the ages of her own, point ing out the Royal Family by name. On her way to Balmo ral, the same day, she called on the old weaver of the dis trict, and entered with him into all the necessary details for preparing an equipment of home-made tartan for family plaids.—Aberdeen Herald.

Referring to a recent case in the Su preme Court of the islands, one of the New York papers has the following paragraph, conveying a lesson to the autho rities of that city which may be applied in London with still greater force :—" We copy," it says, " the following report of a law case in the Supreme Court of the islands, not merely because it is curious, but to point the attention of our own legislators to a fact. In the Sandwich Islands, a nation which even at the present day can scarcely be re cognized as:entirely rescued 'from barbarism, they have at least gained one step in humanity on the civilized lawmakers of this Christian laud. They have forbidden, by express statute, ' the turning, leading, or driving of dangerous ani mals through the streets of a populous town,' and the violator of that enactment only escaped the punishment of man slaughter by the fact that the person killed brought his death upon Lhimself .by his own misconduct and obstinacy. Here is a lesson for our New York Common Council, which we hope may be improved." The marriage of the Emperor of Austria with the Princess Sophia of Saxe is positively arranged to take place immediately—if We are to believe the Northern Gazette of Germany. TUESDAY EVENING. OCTOBER 8, 1854 MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. _ _ The sales of Cotton at Liverpool 3 esterday wire esti mated at 6,000 bales, and the market closed firmly at full prices. Tne sales comprised 4,500 American, 200 Per nam and Maranbsin at Bd. to 80., 300 Bahia at 811, 300 Egyptian at Rid. to lOirl., 400 Surat at 511 to 6d., and 70 Sea Islands at ls. 2d. to ls. 4 d. per lb.—The Share Market was firm, and prices were looking up. The Frankfort quotations on the sth inst. were 791 to for Austrian Metallics. Spanish Three per Cents. brought 35 5-16 to 9-16. AC Amsterdam on Sunday Mexican Bonds were quoted 29 9-16. Not much was done in other foreign The failure of all the Exchange Banks in Scotland, established as they were for the special purpose of affording accommodation upon Railway Shares, has very naturally attracted attention, and the Banker's Maga zine thr.ws further light upon the subject by certain details of an official character. It is remarked that— " The fact that the former directors of the Glasgow Commercial Exchange Company had been guilty of the attempt to rig the market,' for the purpose of endea vouring to support prices, is distinctly pointed out in the circular of Mr. Jameson, who has bean appointed to wind up the company, dated the 15th of July last. Such irregular practices as these, however. are unfortu nately not the only grounds of complaint which the shareholders have against the directors. Ia some cases shares have been taken as security for advances, on which shares only a small amount has been paid up, and the company has become responsible for the calls ! The West of Scotland Exchange Company have been prevented winding up their affairs from this cause. The results of such mismanagement as we have referred to are most disastrous to the shareholders. Mr. George Kinnear, the manager of the Glasgow Com mercial Exchange Company, in a letter advocating the interests of that company, published in 1847, says:- 6 I beg of you to recollect what class of people it is who are the great majority of depositors, mostly per sons incapable of working, maiden ladies, widows, and orphans—people incapable of making the most of their money for themselves; nay, most of them, either from their sex or their ignorance of business, hardly capable of judging where their money is safe.' Such are the depositors, and, Mr. Jameson says, such are the share ' holders. It is satisfactory to know that the depositors will uitimaely, it is believed, sustain no serious loss. The joint-stock bank principle of unlimited responsibility of the shareholders, shows its efficacy with terrible ear nestness in this instance. The shareholders will lose all their paid-up capital, and must subscribe rateably to provide for the deficiency. The Glasgow Commercial Exchange Company are stated to have lost 650,000 L, or nearly double the amount of their capital; and the other companies which are winding up, will only return a mi serable instalment of the subscribed capital to their shareholders." The English Stock Market is rather dull, and the in telligence from Hesse-Cass el and Holstein is again of a nature to justify the impression of continued complica tion in those quarters. Consols have been 96i1 for Transfer, and are now 961 /. For November they have realized 961 being at present 96/ Exchequer-bills have been marked 645. to 67.5, and India Bondi to 88s. premium.

The Moniteur publishes an official list, communi cated by the Attorney-General, of the journals under prosecution for the publication of articles without sig natures ; these journals are th.Evenernent, the National, the Peuple, the Courrier Francais, the Sieele, the Journal pour Rire, and the Montteur du Soir. The regiments of cavalry to be reviewed at Ver sailles on the 1O:h by the P RESIDEN T have already begun to assemble in that town. M. THIER3 and M. CASsIMIR PESTER have left Paris to visit the Orleans Princes at Claremont ; the Union and the Opinion Publique continue their unsuccessful endeavours to explain away the Wiesbaden manifesto ; and Dr. VEEON, of the Constitutionnel, having be come aware of the hopelessness of procuring for his protegi either an Imperial crown or a Presidency for ten years, now lowers his demand to a re-election for four years. Thus saith the learned Doctor : " France would, without doubt, prefer a prolongation of power of less duration, if obtained without a crisis, without painful struggles ' before the hour of danger, and voted with universal consent, to a prolongation of ten years, which would lead parties into violent contests and implacable resentments. Through the healing ef. fects of time animosities would calm down and passions become appeased. Many questions would by that time be settled ; and during these days of transition the public fortune be consolidated, comfort spread, and great economical reforms effected, and the spontaneous support that would be given to Louis Napoleon would double his authority and the moral weight of his Government. What would be lost in stability would be gained in confidence. Such are my opinions, which are altogether my own, and which I venture to throw out in aid of the sort of patriotic conference the journals would seem now to hold for sake of enlightening the Assembly, by making it acquaint e d with the different a ppreciations of publi c op i n i on. In conc l u di ng t hi s article we will express our views upon a pointcalculated to tranquillise the public mind, and to dissipate many apprehensions. It is thus we propose that during the period of Louis Napoleon's prolongation of powers, the palace of the Tuileries shall remain uninhabited, that the solitude may rest a permanent historical leison both for the Government and the people. Let the Preideut of the Republic not quit his modest residence at the Elysie. Let not imprudent friends attempt to re-open the gates of this antique dwelling of our Kings.

The British ship of war, Prince Regent, Leander ; Phaeton, and Arethusa, were at anchor in the Tagus, GERMANY. Accounts from Frankfort, of the 4th, state that the Federal Assembly has ratified the treaty with Denmark. The Austrian Government has protested against the attitude assumed by Prussia in behalf of the constitutional liberties of Hesse-Cassel, and has deter mined to support the ELECTOR in his illegal usur pations, for which purpose an alliance, offensive and defensive, has been concluded between Austria, Bavaria, and Wirtemburg. The Ministry of Elec toral Hesse has addressed the following note to the Prussian Chargé d'Affaires : " The Charge d'Affaires of the Bing of Prussia has informed the Hessian Ministry that his Government will not tolerate any intervention of the Germanic Diet in Electoral Hesse. The undersigned has been the more surprised at this as this proceeding is not based on any law, and Prussia dues not show what will be her ulterior proceedings. The Hessian Government, convinced of its legality, con sider itself not only authorised, but compelled to invoke the Federal Pact until it is abolished. If the Prussian Government refuses to acknowledge the Re stricted Federal Council as an organ of the confedera tion, it cannot least deny to the States of Germany, who do acknowledge it, the liberty of enforcing its re solutions in their respective territories. According to the Federal Pan, every German Govenment can hinder any other Government from interfering in its internal affairs without its consent. Although the Prussian Charge d'Affaires has not stated what ulterior measures his Government proposes to take, the Hessian Govern ment confidently hopes that the Prussian Gr.veroment will acknowledge the fundamental laws of the Confe deration, and not interfere •spontaneously in the affairs of Hesse-Cassel, and especially refrain from sending an army into it, against which the Hessian Government would be under the necessity of protesting.

Messrs.
