This, .oreover, in additional papers to the usual " Political Register." George Gilfillan, in another of his elo quent but faulty compositions—compositions brilliant in language, and blurred with incongruous and in comprehensible hallucinations of judgment—considers the character and the writings of Mrs. Shelley. Of her mother, the famous Mary Wollstonecroft, who died in childbed of Shelley's future wife (" like the sun," says Mr. Gilfillan, " going down to reveal the coming star"), he speaks very beautifully, as " the Madame Roland of England." Alluding to Shelley himself, our critic fantastically but truly says, " be seems to us as though the most beautiful of beings had been struck blind." The palm of excellence in the works of Mrs. Shelley is of course given to her " Frankenstein"—a most wonderful book for a girt of eighteen ; as wonderful a piece of literary preco city as that of her husband at the same age—" Queen Mab." " Historical Portraits, Autographs, and Illustrations," is a curious and interesting chapter. " Furstenruhe" is continued. Percy B. St. John breaks off in his narrative of " Miranda," to tell us a story called the " Lion and the Panther." His prac tice as a tale-teller renders him a welcome contributor to the magazine. Sir Thomas Dick Lauder pursues lis disquisitions on " Scottish Rivers," and Thomas \e Quiencey his on " Protestantism." The poetical scraps are abundant, the " Literary Register" is ample, and a review of a novel called " All Classes" completes Tait for December. ....-.:: .~ _~ `~~:. i Dividend Amount Nance of Company. per of Paid.

This is a capital number of Bentley, more rich in papers of real and permanent value than perhaps any number of the Miscellany which has yet appeared. In the first place we have a gracefully written account of the life and compositions of Mendelssohn, from the pen of Miss Thomasina Ross, illustrated with a life like portrait of the Shakspere of music ; then we have an interesting account of the city of Para, the first of a series of narratives of adventures on the banks of the Amazon, by J. E. Warren. We have also [a well told history of the military career of the cele brated Earl of Peterborough; the conclusion of Hans C. Andersen's biography of Thorwaldsen ; and a History of the Insurrection in St. Petersburgh in 1825" (illustrated by a portrait of the Emperor Nicholas), from the pen of Charles Whitehead. These are all papers of permanent value of great interest, but they are all surpassed, both in value and in interest, by " The Memoirs of Mr. Brooke, Governor of Labuan and Raja of Sarawak," by James Augustus St. John. The task of writing the me moirs of Mr. Brooke could not have been entrusted to abler hands. Intimately acquainted with every thing relating to our Eastern Empire, with the manners and customs of the various Oriental nations, with the varicus treaties concluded by the Dutch for the regulation of the commerce of the Indian Archipelago, and with the manner in which every one of the provisions of those treaties have been violated by the crafty Hollander, and, above all, with the immense resources of the islands of that Archi pelago, the inhabitants of which only want that safety which can alone be secured to them by British protection to amply develop, Mr. St. John seems to be the man of all others most peculiarly adapted by the previous course of his study, and by the boldness and originality, yet at the same time justness of his views, to understand and do justice to the merits of the Raja of Sarawak. He has, moreover, had access to the journals of Mr. Brooke, and is therefore in a position to furnish the public with information as to the career and views of perhaps, with the exception of the Duke of Welling ton, the most remarkable man of his day, which can be in the possession of no other person, and accord ingly our readers will not be surprised to learn that Mr. St. John has produced one of the most valuable and interesting memoirs that has ever appeared. We shall not attempt to trace the career of Mr. Brooke, as every one who can procure the Magazine will no doubt read and study these memoirs. We cannot, however, resist extracting the following short account of the life which Mr. Brooke leads among his subjects at Sarawak : " He usually rises moderately early, crosses from his private residence to the tho opposite bank of the rivers where he holds what in India would be denominated his Durbar, receives deputations, hears and determines causes, and is accessible to every man, high and low, throughout the whole extent of his territories. The hall of audience at Sarawak is lofty and spacious, and its ap ?arance when thronged in the morning is highly cha- Facteric and picturcs9ue. In one part of it Mr. Brooke is engaged, perhaps, in conducting a trial for life and death, surrrounded by the impetuous natives, with their swarthy countenances and flashing eyes, habited in almost theatrical costumes, and armed every one of them with a formidable kris or dagger. Even criminals of rank are suffered to wear these weapons till sentence of death has been pronounced, when they quietly deliver them up, and suffer themselves to be led to the place appointed for their execution, where, in the presence of their friends and relatives, and all other who may take any interest, they are dispatched by a single blow of the kris; when affairs of less moment are transacting, the natives, sepa rated into groups, disperse themplves through the apartment, and discuss public or private affairs, accord ing to their taste. People, meanwhile, are entering and quitting the hall, some with merry faces because their wishes have been complied with, others, perhaps, look sullen or dejected because they have encountered disap pointment. " The assembly breaks up at twelve, and Mr. Brooke, returning to his house, spends several hours in his li brary, where he keeps up his acquaintance with the sciences and literature of Europe, or studies the laws and customs of the various populations of the Archipelago. He then dines with the members of the small European society which he has collected around him, and spends the evening in their company. Towards midnight he retires, and again devotes an hour or two to study. This course of life, regularly pursued, will account to those who know him for the variety of his acquirements and the extent of his knowledge, which they otherwise per haps may be unable to comprehend. It should be added, that unless when in his library, he is at all times accessi ble to anybody, native or stranger; and that even during meals groups of Malaya and Dyaks are constantly to be seen in his house, the doors of which are open from morning till night. It is ett,y after this to understand the attachment of the people to their ruler, whose cha racter and manners contrasts so strikingly with those of STOCK EXCHANGE.-The sales are-Eastern Counties, 16% East Lancashire, Now Quarters, 3 2 c. dis.-Huddersfield and Manchester Railway and Canal, fkirds, dis.-Lanca shire and Yorkshire, Fifths, 3-16 c. p.-Ditto Halves (B), 7-16 p.- London and North-Western, Quarters (A), 4- Ditto, Quarters (C), 4% c. p-Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincolnshire, Quarters, Ne. 2,16-Ditto, Sheffield and Lin colnshire, 4% dis.-North Staffordshire, par-South-Eastern and Dever, 32-Ditto, No. 4,1% die.

Diffidence, er a sense of right determine the former, and miscalculated hopes em bitter the latter. The solitary one may shield himself under the plea of caution and worldly prudence, and the indissoluble, regret an cemproeing hurry ; but the truth lies deeper. Physical Incapacity, and broken health, are the great hindrances to domestic happiness and social content. The dowry should not be the only marriage set tlement. Honour and jastice demand that health should form an item in the compact ; it alone dignifies the alliance. Blighted hopes er neglect woand more sorely than poverty or misfortune.

SIR W. GOSSETT AND °TIMES. The plaintiff in this action is an engineer residing at Kentish Town, and he sought to recover the sum of 4111. 2s. from the defendants, 'for work and labour alleged to have been done, and money paid at their request. It appeared that Sir William Gossett and other gen tlemen of great respectability formed themselves into a company in 1840, for the purpose of carrying out some improvement in the manufacture of iron, and that the company was called the Rolling and Compressing Iron Company. The plaintiff was engaged by them to aid the company in procuring an Act of Parliment, which was obtained in may, 1841, and hopes were held out to him that he would afterwards be engaged at a considerable salary. Ilia salary was afterwards fixed at 2501. a year, but at the end of 1841 he was told that his services would be no longer re quired. He then brought an action against the secretary of the company, who was made the responsible officer under the Act for t he above amount ; but Lord Denman, before whom it was tried, held that the secre tary was only responsible for what became due after the passing of the Act, an d his decision wassubsequently confirmed by the full Court.

The defence sot up was, that the defendant had re ceived no consideration for the bill, and that it had been obtained from him through fraud and covin. It appeared that the defendant warsa clergyman, re siding at Clifton, near Bristol, and had !wide application to some advertising money lenders, to whom he enclosed two acceptances, upon one of which the present action was brought.

SUGAR.—To - day in consequence of Importers of West India Sugar submitting to rather lower rates induced the refiners to come into the market more freely, and a good business was concluded, but grocers operated with cau tion in all sorts. The sales amounted to 700, making the total quantity sold for the week 1,900 hhds and trcs. The decline in prices during that time amounted to 6d, and in some cases to Is. per cwt. REFINED.—To-day Refined Goods met with attention from the home trade, and many parcels were sol d, the middling sorts meeting with most attention. The rates obtained were 53s 6d for standard, and 52s to 53s for brown grocery lumps. Bonded Crushed Sugar is dull of sale at 30s to 30s 6d for first sort. MAURITIUS.—This afternoon there was no public sale, and all sorts were purchased with reluctance by private treaty, although easier rates were taken. EAST INDIA.—This afternoon four parcels of Bengal Sugar, amounting to 3,573 bags were submitted to public competition. There was a desire on the part of mer chants to sell, and they submitted to a decline on former rates of ls per cwt, but the whole s old. Madras is dull of sale, and 251 bags at auction were taken in at 30s for brown and yellow damp, being above the value. FOREIGN. — This afte rnoon the biddings wee languid at a public sale of 1,759 baskets of Java Sugar, and a part only sold at a reduction on former rates of 6d per cwt. MOLASSES. —Although West India can be obtained at s, yet few purchases have been made, f u rther reduced rate and 15s to 18s is the value of common to fine quality. The stock of East India Treacle is on the increase, and there are few buyers, still 18s is asked for the last. COFFEE.—This afternoon the public sales of Planta tion Ceylon, consisting of 36 casks and 638 bags, went off with heaviness, and a part only sold at a further reduc tion of 2s, making the fall for the week 3s to 4s— middling colory went at 48s to 503, low middling 46s to 475, fine fine ordinary 43s to 445, good middling 575, middling greybdi Demerara kind, good make 465, pea berry 47s 6d, and damaged 30s to 32 s 6 d.

By the Author of " The Book of the Seasons," &c. Mr. Howitt's new work, " The Hall and the hamlet," conveys the same faithful portraiture of English Country Life, with a grvater display of original character, that rendered so popular his " Rural Life in England;" and, as its title indicates, represents the two classes of society to be found in the rural districts, in a series of picturesque Narratives, that combine the romance of Watteau with the fidelity of Wilkie. " The Hall and The Hamlet" forms a truly English book and must be a favourite both in town and country. We regret to learn, that Colonel C. Kemys Tynte, has been so seriously indisposed from a rheumatic attack that he has been prevented for some days attending his Parliamentary duties. FEARFUL LOSS OF LIFE. A few weeks ago we gave the particulars of the break-- ing in of the roof of some old coal mines at Wigan, caused by the overflowing of the river Douglas. On Tuesday the town and neighbourhood were again visited by heavy . and constant rain, and about seven o'clock in the evening the river was much swollen, and had over flowed its banks in several places. At the back of Messrs. Eccles's mill, in a field adjoining the river, the chasms formed by the former good, unfortunately re mained open, and a torrent of water poured into them. The first rush of the water into the hollows was met by the air with such force, that a fountain stream, se veral yards high, was raised in the air for some time. The water continued to pour into the mines during the night, and after flooding nearly the whole of the pits on the same level, it burst open the protection walls built (to keep out the water) in the shalt' leading to deeper pits, and was thrown into the latter a depth 4! o f ii 0 5 1 1 ; hundred and thirty yards below the mines r? flooded. In one of these, the lower ratTiCT ftPnrdCeolclioermy: worked by Messrs. William pany, and situate about hal f m our men and two entered from the river, there were w here a the water which boys working for the sig h t , aamndiletLwfa7enlfevase h t orses, most of th en e bottom. teredw the shaft, but it was found im possibleimmediately to get n d d them were also in th_eowpnii:. Several attempts were made to got ber wher e violenceth strea me to was descending withf ea rful a ir was a b i e very impure , and i t was with great di ffi culty any person could breathe in the shaft. The cages used in bringing up the men were set in motion, and kept at work above two hours, but there was no sip al from the bottom ; nor was it believed, if the parties were then alive, that any successful attempt could be made to approach the shaft and enter the If the water had broken in at this pit during the day, ca certainty that an immense sacrifice itis an almost w of l if eould have been the consequence, there being regularly engaged in it from 250 to 300 co lliers an d drawers • and in several other pits where the wat er has broken i n, had the men been at their work, they would, doubt less, have shared a similar fate. From the mo m eat of the water first entering, and being hurled, along with largo quantities of bricks, coal, and other material, to such a depth, all chance of escape must have been cut off, for if not drowned, it is believed all must have been suffocated. The following are the names of the supposed sufferers, all the men, it will be seen, being married ; and each party having a numbered lamp, there is no don't of the list being correct : —John Rutter, jun., and Je i . I tter, sen., who has left a widow and five children ;.: ,-. : ew Bates, has left a widow and six children ; Th.' . '' ock, has left a widow and three children ; John S • ry lop left a widow, but no children; Michael Underwood, a ....,. The water continued to pour in during the wiiiil4 . 1 'the day, and, of course, no idea can be formed of the time it will take to clear the mine, so that the bodies of the unfortunate colliers can not be got out ; it is believed by all that it will occupy several weeks. The company have a one hundred-horse engine, which has been set to work, and every available effort will, we aro assured, be made to pump out the water with as little delay as possible. Thirteen coal pits are said to be closed by this inundation.—Liverpool Mercury. odha rt, ,a, t" , of /* lad y of Tow3°' t 081 h . , y the loyl r of 4. .----"" 24th sliXe4 E• S. a, the ed 66 ' iron' ! d 7* liter s nore► ,••••1' G. 11 1 11 : f #./ v-
