Although the arrivals of English Wheat for our Market, this week, have been very moderate, the show of samples of that grain here, to-day, was somewhat on the increase. Owing to the large imports of Foreign Wheat, and the slight pressure of American Flour, the Sale for all kinds of Wheat of home produce was heavy, and, in some instances, the inferior qualities were dis 'posed of at a trifling abatement in the quotations. For all descriptions of Foreign Wheat we have to report a very inactive inquiry, at barely. but at nothing quotabl e beneath, Monday's; prices. l'he sale for Barley was by no means so active as last week ; nevertheless, prices were mostly supp orte d . I n Malt only a moderate business was doilig, at late rates. There was a fair de mand for Oats at full prices. Beans and Peas were quite 03 dear ; but all other articles were much neglected. MAGAZINES, &c. (CONTINUED.) DOUGLAS` JERROLD. Mr. Holl conclude Ills valtrab!e series of papers on Young Wats' nin the number. The description of the escape of this ill.tarred youth to America has all the absorb rig interes of a romance. After describing his leaving Mr. Holls house, at Camden Town, the writer thus proceeds— " His next remora was to Pendrill's house in New gate-street, and but short distance from Beckwith's shop, the scene of hs mad folly, the cause of so much peril to himself and oilers, and of death to his ill-starred rescuer. " The execution of Cashman was fixed for the next day, and the noise of busy preparation in the erection of his scaffold, reached Wesson as he lay. Barriers were thrown up to keep the pople back, who, were expected in multitudes to witness the execution, and the ham mering, or heavy fall of timber, struck upon his ear the dreadful coming of the morrow! The man who saved his life was to suffer death—death for his fault! The thought was maddening and each fresh sound smote as on his heart. " The outdoor sympathy for the condemned Cashman was great, and fearful of an outbreak, or attempt at rescue, the military had orders to be under arms, in readiness to repel any attempt of the expected multitude, "With the dim morning, the people came! The gal lows was up! The man was to die! The fearful knell of the dying, and his awful doom, called them forth as with a soft voice from distant home and bed to see the sight;' and the best vicw of mortal suffering was bartered from many a window front or house-top. " The grey morn had scarcely mixed with the black night, and seekers for the best places came straggling on, when a door opened, and Young Watson, Pendrill, and Moggridge, passed forth, and made their way through those who came or those who had already made their stand. Passed by the very side of those who had sought him far and wide. Him, whose name uttered on that spot, would have made them spring as at a started deer. He and his companions passed unsuspected on, and meet ing still at every turn fresh comers to the scene of death, shaped their way towards Gravesend. " The vessel in which he had secured his berth, the Venus,' had dropped down the river, from the docks; and once on board, he trusted to escape a doom, the dismal preparations for which he had so lately left behind. On they went, walking with stout limbs and eager hopes to Gravesend. Zniaish ..; Irtah. ..... ::: What. 1,890 qrs. 5,310 Malt. 25 ers. WHITECHAPEL.

Triumphal March A Cabinet Council was held yesterday afternoon at the Foreign-office. It was attended by all the Ministers, with the exception of the Earl of Minto. The Council sat an hour and a half. " Meanwhile, the game of death went on! The day light came, and the busy crowd streamed in to see their fellow suffer. The barriers erected kept them in partial check, and aided by numerous police-officers and their assistants, the people were held back from pressing too closely on the immediate neighbourhood of the gallows. The Marquis of Lansdowne (Lord President) ar rived in town at half-past one o'clock yesterday after noon, for the purpose of attending the Council, from bis seat, Bowood-park, Wilts. The Right Hon. Henry Labouchere (President of the Board of Trade) also arrived in town yesterday, for the purpose of attending the meeting. Lieutenant-General Ellice had an interview with Earl Grey yesterday, at the Colonial-office. The Earl of Auckland gave a dinner to the Cabinet Ministers yesterday evening, at his residence in the Admiralty. SERIOUS ACCIDENT. FORTUNATE ESCAPE OF THE DUCHESS OF KENT. WINDSOR, TUESDAY EVENING.—Last night, be tween seven and eight o'clock, as her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent and her attendant ladies were proceeding along the Frogmore•road, on their way to join the royal dinner circle at the Castle, an accident occurred which might have been attended with very serious circumstances to the Royal Duchess and her ladies ; but fortunately, although► the carriage in which they w ere riding was so much damaged as to be past further service, they themselves sustained no Personal injury whatever. The accident occurred in the following manner :—A young man and his wife, with another young woman, all of them in the service of Mr. Hamilton Parks, of Woodside, Windsor Great Park, were leaving Windsor, in a light spring cart at the moment the Duchess's carriage turned into the level road by the Waterloo Gate of the Home Park, and his horse, a strong and spirited animal, taking fright, it is supposed from the dazzle of the carriage lamps, or from some other cause, and the young man losing all control over him, the cart came in such furious collision with the carriage as to tear away eight spokes of the off hind wheel, and actually to bend the axletree almost to an angle of forty-five degrees. The driver and the two women were thrown out by the concussion, and, it is said, seriously injured; but medical assistance was immediately at band, and they were removed to the Hope Tavern, just by, whilst the horse gallopped off with the shafts, &c. " The bell had tolled. Newgate gave up its prey, and the cart came on. "The multitude was vast. And as the sheriffs ad vanced with that fearful cart and its death-doomed load, the mob, in expression of their indignation, began to groan and hiss ; attempts were made at rescue, and to rush forward, but the barriers prevented their encroach ment, and the crowd was beaten back. Cashman alone seemed careless of the fate awaiting him, and on leaving Newgate, had said: lam going to die, but I shall not shrink. I have done nothing against my king and country, I have always fought for them.' " The cart came rolling on—halted—and Cashman mounted the gallows steps with a light and bounding tread. The moment he appeared on the platform, the groans of indignation mingled with hisses, were redoubled. The executioner, to hasten his work, began to draw the cap over his face, when ho exclaimed, "For God's sake, let me see to the last.' His wish was complied with. The bolt was drawn—the man was dead—dead without a struggle. " The street was thronged as for a fair; windows and house-tops, filled with eager eyes, gazed on the sickening spectacle! Alone, the house of Beckwith looked with darkened windows on the sight! " Meanwhile, Watson and his companions journeyed on their way to Gravesend. Hoping, but fearful in their hope, they passed along, and covered the long miles with willing feet. The town was gained ; the vessel was in sight. Yes, there it lay upon the waters, to him, at least, a thing of life, of hope, and liberty. " As it was not thought advisable to Young Watson's companions that they should accompany him on board, with a God bless you !' they parted with the flying man, and after resting from their lengthened walk, they journeyed back as best they could, and left Young Wat son to the accomplishment of his flight. " On deck, and mid the murmur of a hundred tongues, he dwelt alone upon the thought of freedom—of escape from danger and pursuit. Yet up and down he walked and felt each eye was on his, eager and suspicious! Fearful himself, he conjured up a thousand and a thou sand foes, who crossed him as he walked! Who shall know the thoughts of that young man, who fled from death, yet feared its peril still at every turn? Alone, he walked the deck, away from friends, from kindred, all he valued—alone, and with but one thought—life! " The time had come, and the vessel was to sail. Fond eyes were stretching to the distant shore, while others looked with sadness on their own, and wondered if they ever should see it morel The vessel was to sail, the goods were shipped, the passengers on board. The sails were spread, and swelling in the wind, the ready ship obeyed their impulse, and with eager leap ploughed up the tide! All looked with curious eyes upon the sea man's craft, as sail on sail came swaying down, and caught the willing breeze—all looked—but there was still a pair of eyes, that looked intense, and burning! The anchor weighed, and all was ready for a start, when —Bomb! A gun was fired from the shore, the signal to lie to. " Had the shot struck his brain, it would scarce have pained him less. Young Watson sank upon a seat, sick, and powerless. " With straining eyes, ho saw a boat put from the shore—near and nearer it came to the stayed ship, and seated iu the fatal craft, ho recognised Vickery and Lavender, two Bow-street officers. " Fancy,' he said when writing from a distant land. Fancy my feeling of despair, when as the boat neared the vessel's side, I saw my old enemies —Vickery and Lavender, seated in the stern. They had some clue to my method of escape—they had tracked me, and I gave myself up for lost.' The boat reached the gangway— was fastened to it, and the two officers, attended by a magistrate, mounted the ship's side., They were followed —Young Watson could scarce believe the evidence of his sight—by an old and bosom friend of his—a Mr. Whit taker, a clerk in Somerset House. Escape was hopeless —he was in their grasp! "It afterwards appeared this young man had been pressed into the aid of the police (who had evidently obtained some clue to Young Watson's means of escape) in the hopes some sudden look, or exclamation, would betray him to their sight. For there is no reason to suppose Mr. Whittaker ever would have played so false a part as to turn bloodhound in the service of the law, and scent his early friend unto his death. Whether or not he recognised Young Watson, and had sufficient command over his countenance not to betray him, must ever remain a mystery, though the young man's appear ance was so changed, that even his old friend might pass him by, unheeded and unknown. •' Once on board, the officers eyed round them with a keen and searching look. They came,' they said, in search of some person who had committed murder.' Every one was subject to the strictest scrutiny, and, fearful of detection, Young Watson was about to go below, and so to find a hiding-place among the many recesses of the vessel ; 'twas well that he did not—for a list of passengers was demanded by the officers, who told them off by their names. The crew was subject to the like inspection, and the vessel strictly searched. " The officers were evidently at fault ; all were on deck, and one by one they were made to run the gauntlet,' and to pass between the officers, the magis trate, and young Watson's friend. A lynx•eyed watch was kept, not only on his countenance, but on that of each who passed ; when, strange to state, and affording another proof of the singularity of Young Watson's escapes, a young woman who was about to pass between the officers fainted—whether from fear or what, we know not: she was about joining a brother in America, and had lately come on board ; fearful, as it was supposed, of detention or some hindrance to her passage, she fainted as she was about to pass, and drew upon herself the greedy eyes of the police, who looked with much sus picion and distrust upon her fainting form. Young Watson, with a quickness and readiness of wit only met with in trying circumstances, immediately proffered his assistance to ' support the young lady while they pursued their search.' The offer was accepted, and the search went on. Passengers, crew, all passed ; and, one by one, they underwent the keen and searching inspection of the police. Sir George Couper, also on his way to the Castle, came up almost at the moment, and the Royal Duchess and her ladies were transferred to his brougham, and so arrived at the Castle before the accident was known there. It is affirmed that this accident would not have happened had not the road been so dark; but the corporation of Windsor have decreed, that though it is a much frequented road, it shall have only one gas lamp, and that lamp close to the Castle entrance, so that the remainder of the road, for nearly half a mile, is in total darkness. This afternoon the Duchess of Kent took a car riage -drive in the Great Park, in an open carriage and four. HAYMARKET THEATRE. Mr. Henry Farren appeared last night in the cha racter of Dazzle, in the comedy of London Assurance, and sustained the part most effectively. He rattled through the character with the most amazing volubility and coolness, and made every point tell. He is, evidently, now beginning to feel himself at home on the boards, and is getting used to his audience; and, judging from what we have seen of him, we think the time is not far distant when he will be par excellence the genteel comedian of the day. Mr. W. Farren and Mrs. Nisbett, and Mr. Keeley, sustained their original characters of Sir Harcourt Courtly, Lady Gay Spanker, and Mr. Adolphus Spanker. What a glorious " bit" does Keeley make of Dolly Spanker—how rich—how unctions 1 In such parts as these Keeley is unapproachable. The house was crowded in every part, and the audience were rapturous in their applause. D EAT!' OF THE RIGHT HON. SIR ROBERT GORDON, G.C.B.—we regret to announce' the sudden demise of this Right Hon. Gentleman, who, up to a re cent period, filled the office of British Ambassador at the Court of Vienna. The melancholy event took place on the Bth inst., at Ballmorral, Aberdeenshire. Sir Robert Gordon, as our readers will be aware, was a brother of the Earl of Aberdeen. Tsar NORTH MAIL.—We understand that time bills are now being framed by the Post-office authorities for the acceleration of the Aberdeen day and night mails by the railway through Fife, now open as far as Lin dores. The Dundee mail will be then sent with the Aberdeen day mail, instead of at 10 30 A. 31. as at present. —Edinburgh Advertiser. The Duke and Duchess de Palmella and family left Mivart's Hotel yesterday for Portsmouth, her Majesty's steamer Viper being under orders and in waiting at Spithead to convey them to Lisbon. It is said that scarlet fever is very rife at IVar rington. DUNDEE.—The linen trade is still languid, and prices are declining. The demand for flax has much decreased, and reductions have been made which, it is said, will be followed by others. The Queen has granted to Lady Wetherell, the widow of the late Sir Charles Wetherell, her royal licence to adopt the surname of Warneford, in addition to and after the name of Wetherell, in accordance with the directions of the will of Lady Wetherell's father, Colonel F. Warneford, deceased. POSTAL REGULATION W ITH BREMEN. — T he Ga retie of last night contains a Treasury warrant regu lating the postage on newspapers, and other printed P a pers transmitted between the United King - do m , and Bremen. They are similar to those recently established for other places on the Conti nent ; the route for newspapers to pass free from Bre men being " to Bremen direct, or via Cuxhaven, or any vet or place within the territory of Hanover." GLASGOW UNIVERSITY.—THE INSTALLATION OF TE E LORD RECTOR.—Lord John Russell, we under stand, has intimated his intention of being in Glasgow on the 27th or 28th instant, for the purpose of being in stalled Lord Rector of the University. Several corres pondents suggest the propriety of inviting his Lordship to a public dinner on the occasion.—Glasgow Argus. NOTION or MARRIAGE.—IIook being told of the marriage of a political opponent, exclaimed, " I am very glad to hear it." Then suddenly with a feeling of com passionate forgiveness, "And yet I don't see why I should be, poor fellow, for ho never did me much harm." " In - the mean time Watson placed the fainting woman on a seat, and moved between the officers as they stood --less, perhaps, an object of s us pi c i on , f rom hi s recent ready aid, than those who but obeyed the call and went through the ordeal with indifference or complaint. He walked between them, and his heart, in his anxiety, beat with such a heavy pulse, he feared the officer must have heard it as he passed.' rhe peril of his situation, and fear of his detection, made it distinct, at least to him. He passed ; and his joy may be conceived, when he heard one officer whisper to the other, He is not here."' " The Dreamer and the Worker" is continued, and Paul Bell gives us a paper on " Testimonials and Tests ;" but after reading the account of the escape of Young Watson, all other matters appear " stale, dull, flat, and unprofitable." THE BANKERS' MAGAZINE.I This is an excellent number of this extremely use ful periodical. We have already extracted the ac count of the recovery of the notes stolen from Messrs. Rogers and Co., in 1844. There is a good article on the present position of the issue department of the Bank of England, in which it is shown that the sepa ration of the two departments of the Bank is not so great an improvement as the supporters of the Cur rency Act conceive it to be. " Elements of the Cur rency Question " is continued, the present part re ferring to the fixed price of gold. " Scheme of a New Currency Act" is also continued; in the former number two propositions were submitted and discussed—viz., that the fixed issues of the Bank be abandoned, and the rate of interest to be charged on advances be limited ; and, 2dly, that the Bank be authorised to issue one-pound notes. Three additional propositions are put forward in the present number—viz., " that the country banks in England, in addition to their issues as fixed by the Act of 1844, should be authorised to extend those issues to an amount which shall not at coinany toifmteheexrceeaelmd sor i t t t s m held equivalent the banks ntone- in cu polind no r te r s en ;, t , " that the banks in Ireland and Scotland should have the option of basing on Government securities, in stead of gold, such issues of notes as they may re- . quire beyond the limits affixed to their respective cir culations by the existing Act;" and " that the Bank of England should hold, at all times, a portion of its assets in the public securities of Continental States, in lieu of an equivalent amount of the British securi ties at present held by that establishment." There is also a " Second Letter to Country People on Coun try Banks," " The Savings' Bank Operations during the last Half-year," " Banking and Commercial Law on Frauds with Cheques drawn without Effects," and the usual reports and communications. from one part of the United Kingdom to another, or from the United Kingdom to the Isle of Man, or from the le of Man to the United Kingdom except in British ships. This restriction, so far as passengers arc con cerned, was first imposed in 1845." In speaking of the objections raised against the abandonment of this system the Edinburgh acknow ledges that " the first and greatest obstacle" is the sanction given to it by " the Master of Economic Science." 'We cannot, however, with all our dis inclination to see a total abrogation of the existing enactments, but coincide with the reviewer in think ing that the reasoning of the celebrated passage in which Adam Smith calls the Act of Navigation "per haps the wisest of all the commercial regulations of England" in a very great measure at " variance with its conclusions." Many of the facts and figures given in this adroit paper are forcible, and are such as would admit of quotation in the House of Commons, when the matter is agitated during the approaching session. " Antiquarianism in England" is a calm, critical, and toothsome compilation ; it would (to employ a vulgar but expressive term) have been nuts to Jonathan Oldbuck. " Germrny, from the Con gress of Rastadt to the Battle of Jena" is an histo rical synopsis of the events which transpired in Vaterlund during that memorable interval. To those who have perused the last volume published of M. Thiers' " History of the Consulate and the Empire" it will be curious reading, seeing how frequently the writer is at variance with the eloquent historian of Napoleon. In the course of an excellent review of "Macgregor's Progress of America," the Edinburgh remarks:(and with perfect truth), that the present Member for the city of Glasgow "is so thoroughly conversant with the art of dealing with statistical figures, and long habit (as Secretary to the Board of Trade) has rendered him such a master of arrangement, that an inquirer, even moderately familiar with such studies, will find himself easily enabled to turn to the particular pigeon-hole in which the materials he is in search of essay s are deposited." is ssa asingular i , ted." "Th e S tu d y o f the Ch r i s tian examinationand ethical of some discourses and doc trines, by M essrs. Palmer, Newman, and Parker. " Holland; itsjtural Industry and its Drainage," u p o n miracles nn will be read with satisfaction by all those farmers who have recovered from their chagrin at the destruc tion of the protective system, and who are ready to gird up their loins and compete valiantly and confi dently with continental agriculturists. " Napier's Florentine History " is reviewed at some considerable length, and most assuredly has furnished the text for the most charming and delightful article for October. In speaking of the work of this intelligent sea captain, the reviewer says, " It is agreeable to meet with a history which is neither a compilation nor an abridgment, and with an historian who reflects in his rough and racy style the picturesque simplicity of his originals." A few sentences, covering just five pages of the Edinburgh, are devoted to the considera tion of " the Papal States and Pius IX." What is said, however, upon this subject is said emphatically, and although the dictionary has been very nearly " used up in regard to eulogistic epithets by the hundreds who have written and spoken of the reforming Pontiff, the reviewer adds another exclamatory panegyric to those which have already resounded throughout Europe. " Pius IX." he says, " is a ruler, resolute as Luther, yet gentler than Melancthon. The commendation is as beau tiful as it is deserved. When alluding further on to the Austrian policy towards the Italians, the same writer remarks, " the instant that a spark of life appears in Italy, the hoof of the Croat is set in motion to tread it out." Yes, that has been true almost for centuries, but it is true no longer. The spark has spread into a conflagration, and the life which has now appeared in Italy is the eternal and unquenchable vitality of Freedom. In reference to Louis Philippe's astute President of the Council and Minister for Foreign Affairs, the Edinburgh senten tiously observes, " Whoever vvishes to study severe morality on paper, will do well to read M. Guizot's writings: whoever wishes tolstudyloose morality, illus trated by examples, cannot do better than track him in his late Ministerial career." The remaining pages of this liberal quarterly are devoted to the examina tion of the problem as to whether the prevention of crime, by the extension of popular education, is possible, and of the rights of property, as connected with the " Celtic Clearings, Free Sites, and High land Passes." The character of No. 174 is more sombre and matter-of-fact than is usual with the Edin burgh; yet that difference, however, is, for the time being, acceptable. THE QUARTERLY REVIEW. IVo. CLXII. In an elaborate paper, headed " Parliamentary Prospects," the Quarterly reviews the character and the numerical peculiarities of the newly-elected House of Commons. It is amusing to observe what flattering unctions are laid to the soul of Conservatism by the only distinguished organ still remaining to that once powerful, but now discomfited and powerless party. Out of the most adverse circumstances the most flattering and encouraging possibilities are prophesied. Out of the most forlorn returns the most miraculously propitious divisions are anticipated. While acknow ledging that the Ministerial Members will muster in St. Stephen's (though under the incongruous category of Whigs, Radicals, Repealers, and Chartists) some where about 330 in number, the Quarterly estimates the Peelites at nearly 80, and calculates that there will be upwards of 236 Protectionists. A most san guine disposition certainly ! Yet even in this sup position of the relative proportions in the House there must be an overwhelming superiority on the side of the Russell Cabinet. For during ,the whole of .the last session it was manifest that those individuals who are distinguished as Peelites were unananitnous and consistent in this coincidence with the views of the Right Hon. Baronet the Member for Tamworth, and that upon all occasions where popular reforms were brought under the consideration of the Legisla ture, Sir Robert afforded the utmost assistance to Lord John, both in the debates and in the division lists. Such being the case, there is a moral certainty that the Peelites will upon all important points swell the majorities of the Administration, and taking the modest estimate of the Protectionist organ as the cor rect one, that would give to Lord John Russell, besides his original 327, an accession of numbers which would raise his followers in numerical force to 407. We speak of the 327 being in principle Minis terialists, and we do so because, whatever may be the opinions of the Repealers in regard to the administra tion of aff a i rs i n Ireland, it is certain that upon all motions in which social and political reforms are embodied, they, as well as the Radicals and the Chartists, will fall in with the recognised supporters of the Cabinet. Howevermuch the representatives who are classified as Radicals and Chartists may aspire to effect still more sweep i ng measures of inno vation, they will, as sagacious and provident re formers, afford every aid for the realization of lesser improvements, if only as preliminary to others more in accordance with their wishes. Having put the numbers in this matter-of-fact way, we doubt not but that the Protectionists would confess the reality of the proposition somewhat after the irre levant, spiteful, and very evasive manner of Mrs. Gamp, wh en d riven into a corner by her " frequend pardner"---" w ho deniges of it, Betsy Prig ?—Betsy Prig, who denige s of it ?" So far then we may esti mate the supporters of Lord John Russell (even to the showing of the Quarterly) at 40 7: and taking into account the Member s still unenumerated— Two double returns Undeclared and doubtful —and awarding these in the most partial manner-- namely, seven to the Protectionists, and six to the Ministerialists, th e numbers would stand in this pro porton : Ministeriali s t s Protectionists Sudbury disfranchisZd ........ •* 2 " But," the Quarterly would , 658 1 e aru " th 243 Protectionists are a con cete geneous mass of politicians, aoub r, t or ss rath g er e, liomo e - while these 413, whom you are pleased to call Min isterialists, are the most incongruous, the most disunited, the most hetero geneous, and distracted body of innovators, pulling in all imaginable directions, and thereby counteracting each other in influence and in purpose." Super ficially that objection would be forcible. It consti• tutes, indileed, the most p es speci ous foundation upon which to bud up the hoof the followers of Lord George Bentinck. But examine it for a moment, and how the illusion evaporates ! Probe it, and how shallow is its apparent profundity I How is it that the Protectionists are united ? They are united in the advocacy of a chimera, a dream, an impossibility, a mirage which had long lured the nations on into a wilderness, but which has now been dissipated for ever. They are united for the restoration of restric tive laws which can never by possibility be written again upon the statute-book, because they have been burnt from the tablets of the Constitution by the lightnings of Human Reason. They are united — not by principle, not by a natu ra l a lli ance —b ut b y spleen and despair, for the revival of a vision, and the gratification of a spite ! What, on t h e other han d , i s the disunion supposed to exist among these 413 Ministerialists, composed of an apparently incongru ous jumble of parties—Whigs, Radicals, Repeaters, Chartists, and Peelites ? What is their disunion ? The Whigs may strive to c on ti nue i n o ffi ce , the Radicals ma y agitate for universal suf frage, the Repealers may revile the Act of Union, the Chartists may struggle for the acceptance of all the several points of their Charter, the Peelites may persist in preserving those golden apples of 1819 and 1844, which, according to a contemporary , ha ve proved to be " ashes in the mouth." But, in spite of all this, as advocates of social and political reform, as admirers of the popular movement, as men who are in the van of social and _political progression, Whigs, Radicals, Repeaters, Chartists, and Peelites are united—are unanimous--are identical. So much then, for the cavillers at the new Parliament. So much for the preponderance of the Protectionists in the House of Comrilutig, So much for the vulnerabi lity and instability of At susell Administration. " Prescott's Conquest of Peru" a!;)7.5 rt fruitfpl theme for disquisition upon the overthrOW , o the Incas of Peru by a body of Spanish adventnrers, 1 6 4 the opening article of the Quarterly. "Evelyn's Life of Mrs. Godolphin" is the subject • 9f the second paper, and, as its very title would lead One to conjecture, is a pleasant mélange of gossip and anecdote. The most scholarly contribution for the present quarter is, however, the criticism upon the essays on Homer, written by Herrn Lachmann. All those who thumb the im mortal Iliad or Achilleid, as Mr. Grote would have it called, will read this paper with a zest. Lachmann was the first who had the hardihood to point out this part, and this, and this, and this, as so many spurious interpolations. Had the learned German fingered the sword instead of the goose-quill, he would have stood alone upon the bridge like Horatius Cockles, he would have stabbed the lieutenant of Porsenna, he would have led the French on among the quagmires of Arcola. No man ever had more of moral audacity than Lachmann, but Lachmann is a German critic, and as the Quarterly says with emphasis—" At every feast in the halls of literature the Ger mans, like Ajax at the table of Agamemnon, will be entitled to the honours of the chine." " Paddiana " is a facetious notice of a facetious hook. An article entitled "Fanny Kemble and Lear in Italy," being a double review of two works on that inexhaustible subject by Mrs. Butler and Edward Lear, is not at all to our taste, being flippant and straggling beyond all allowable limits. "Jewish Disabilities" is a powerful argument against the admission of Jews into Parliament. There are, be sides, two able articles on "Talbot's English Etymolo gies," and on "Blackwood's Voyage and Darwin's Structure of the Coral Reef." With much of pre judice and partiality, both political and religious, the Quarterly evinces, as usual, the most distinguished ability. THE IVESTIIIINSTER and FOREIGN QUAR. 7ERLY. .No. XCIV. and .No. LXXIX. As a supplementary addition —one, too, of a very valuable description—this duplex Quarterly contains a list of the Parliamentary Returns of 1841 and 1847, printed with remarkable accuracy and distinctness. The first paper deserves especial mention, being an able inquiry into the " Improvement of Landed Property." A rather dilatory notice of Leigh Hunt's "Wit and Humour" follows, in which divers other specimens selected from our national poets are introduced. A hurried biography (suggested by the one in Lord Campbell's recent publication) of Lord Somers follows, and full justice is done to that eminent and enlightened statesman. After this comes a searching examination into Irish Municipal Government; it might almost be called a diatribe on its abuses. Stirling's " Philosophy of Trade" affords a theme for critism not unwelcome at this period of dilemmas in the money market, although the argu ments contained in the article are rather at variance with those supported by the ability of the Westminster Review on a preceding occasion. The project of the " Colney Hatch Asylum," namely, an additional asylum for lunatics in Middlesex, is considered in a spirit of laudable earnestness in a subsequent contri bution, and due mention is made of the services con ferred upon suffering humanity by Dr. Conolly, the admirable superintendent of Han well. We are by no means satisfied with the next criticism, respecting the " Natural History of Creation," and marvel at the pernicious theories of a superficial and anonymous geologist receiving such extravagant commendation from a publication such as the Westminster Review. The literary intelligence and miscellaneous notices contained in the Foreign Quarterly are remarkable for their variety and general excellence. CHURCH OF ENGLAND QUARTERLY RE• VIEW. No. XLIV. One of the most admirable numbers, both for depth of thought and treasures of language, yet published. " Ecclesiastical and Civil History" is a comprehen sive and temperate disquisition upon the past occur rences of Christianity, accompanied with sanguine anticipations as to the future vicissitudes and ultimate combination of the faithful. The second edition of Ranke's " Reformation in Germany" has elicited a review of very considerable length and minuteness : while Merle D'Aubigne's vindication of the character of 0 ° Cromwell the Protector," is awarded immeasur ably more praise am th e a a n nd it w is rit e in nt g i s tle of entitled to,Thomas without Carlyle mention o f which that illustrious author should have commanded. " The Saracenic and Tatar Hordes" are depicted, or rather their history is detailed in the following article, being one hinted by the work of Simon Ockley, of Cambridge, and the travels of a gentle man with a most appalling name, videlicit, Xavier Hommarie de Hell. A description of " Jeru salem and the Holy Sepulchre" demands perusal, and will rivet the attention of the reader. " De votional Poetry" is an eulogistic paper upon those bards who have turned their lyres to the key of the Canticle of Canticles. We are gratified to see an old favourite (too little read) receiving that ap plause which his verse, from its grace of sentiment and sweetness of language merit—we mean good, honest George Herbert. " Speculative Philosophy in the Nineteenth Century" is a bold and judicious catalogue of all the principal speculative philosophers or metaphysicians who have appeared in the last half century. The briefer notices of books, forming a supplement to the Church of England Quarterly, are occasionally clever, and peculiarly miscellaneous. THE OXFORD 4.ND CAMBRIDGE REVIEW. The first, and by far the best, article in the present number, " The Life of Spinoza," defends the charac ter of the philsopher from the various charges of Atheism, Pantheism, and Mysticism, that have been so freely urged against him. It asserts that Dr. Clarke's celebrated "Demor.stration of the Being and Attributes of God" is taken word for word (the pro positions, that is, on which it is built) from the writ ings of the man alleged to be an Atheist. Ridley, in the 9th number of "The Churches of London," con tinues his touching Jeremiad on the absence and disregard of those formalities in which the Puseyites appear to believe the essentials of religion to consist. He attacks Sir Chtistopher Wren, although professing admiration for him as an able and enterprising archi tect, for not ) aying sufficient attention to the " Ne cessary Symoolism of Church Architecture." In fact, not a single one of his erections, in the opinion of the author, presents a correct model of a good parish church. " The Colliery Act in 1847" appears to be a continuation of an article published some months since on the report of Mr.Tremenheere, the Government inspector of collieries, in which fears and anticipations were expressed of the very moderate utility of one inspector over so large a field. That view is sup ported and the conclusion drawn, " that the Colliery Act at present is not carried out, and never will be carried out with only one inspector." " Revelations of a Poll Book" is a curious examination into the classes by whom the opposing candidates, Messrs. Round and Gladstone, were supported during the late election for the University of Oxford, showing that a large proportion of the senior masters supported the former gentleman, while the latter had a considerable majority of the junior members. The doctors and bachelors of divinity were more favourable to Mr. Round, while the professors of the University sup ported his opponent in the proportion of three to two, the public tutors rather more than two to one, and the private tutors five to one. " Sunny Spots" and " The Bedouin's Leap" are- the other contributions in the present number. IMPORTANT FROM THE CAPE. 'ommercial East 4 8. d* East and West India.- 61. pr cent. Stock.

He added that he had received proposals from Sandella to form a general confederacy of the whole of the Kaffir tribes, in order to make one united effort to overcome the English. To-day, said he, we all fight; let us bury all our past misunderstandings as a people, and unite against the common enemy as one Kaffir nation. A unanimous response was given to this proposal by his people, who expressed themselves as most anxious to commence the fight. They then formed a plan to send off small parties to the frontier, while the main body remains at home to fight the army when it comes out. Ma passa, the Tarnbookie chief, has joined Krieli with all his people, and Pato with all his people." DBATH OF SIR. THOMAS PIGOTT, BART.—We re gret to learn that Sir Thomas Pigott, Bart., expired suddenly, on the 7th inst., at Denston 'Hall, Suffolk. The deceased, who was son of Sir George Pigott, first baronet, by his marriage with Miss Kelly, daughter of the Right Hon. Thomas Kelly, was born in 1796, and married in 1831 Miss Brummell, daughter of Mr. William Brummell, of Wyrenhoe, E.:sex, by whom he leaves a young family. The late Baronet was formerly captain in the Royal Horse Guards (Blue). • DEATH FROM MACHIPIERY.—Yesterday Mr. Wakley, M.P., held an inquest, at the Elephant and 1 Castle, Agar-town, on the body of Alfred Ford, ety (1 35, a stone-sawyer, who met a frightful and sudden o.uatli on Saturday last, at St. Pancras saw-mills, Canibrid4o street, as already mentioned in our columns.

NEWMARKET SECOND OCTOBER MkETING. TUESDAY. Without going the length to say that this was the most brilliant Cesarewitch day it has been our task to report, a e may safely affirm that in the almost summer-like warmth, and the number and grade of the visitors, it has tiot often, if ever, been surpassed. Many hundreds arrived by the regular and special mans, and to these being added large detachments from Cambridge and Bury. the thing on the Heath became, i f not absolutely " prodigious," at least very great. The interest of the racing was confined to the Cesarewitch and Clearwell Stakes. The first, it will be seen, was contested by no less than thirty horses, one less than in 1846, and resulted in the defeat of all the favourites, only one cf whom obtained a place. The victor is a half-bred Irish horse, whose recent performances at Manchester was anything but indicative of the qualities that carried him through so successfully this afternoon. We should mention, with reference to this race, that just before starting, Geraldine reared up and fell b ick, fortunately without injuring her jockey, but, from the shaking and fright that ensued to herself, must have prejudiced her chance. The Clearwell was also adverse to'the favourites, Blaze, an Irish horse, sustaining a defeat from Glendower, after one of the strongest run races over seen. With this short introduction we proceed to the usual return:— Handicap Sweepstakes of 15 soya. each ,10 ft. D.I.

A few minutes after the time appointed, the horses were brought in order to the post, and got off well at the first signal, the dropping of the flag in advance being answered by the new starting telegraph, which was placed conspicuously in the ditch, for the purpose of announcing the start to the spectators. Cawroush jumped off with the lead, followed by Ulysses, next to whom were Geraldine, Giselle, Rob Roy, and several other light weights, the heavy weights and Vanity lying in the rear. They came in this order through the ditch, Ulysses keeping his place until nearly a quarter of a mile on the fiat; he tben fell back, and Giselle became second, Geraldine following her. The race continued in this order to the end, Cawroush, without ever being caught, winning cleverly by a length, Giselle beating Geraldine by nearly two lengths. Cossack laid off to the new ground, where he quitted his horses, and took his place next Geraldine, making so good a finish that he could not have been beaten more than half a neck, or half a length, for third place. Pillage was fifth, and Lady Wildair sixth. Next to this lot came St. Demetri and Wolfdog, and then a ruck of at least a dozen. Rob Roy, War Eagle, Remi niscence, and the Goodwood horses, were beaten a long long way. Run in 4 min. 2 secs. Value of the stakes, 1,6201. _ _ Shortly before the race came off, a covey of partridges made their appearance in the centre of the course, a❑d the whole of them, at least a dozen, were fairly run down and killed. MARKET INTELLIGENCE (From the London New Price Current of Oct. 12.) Stroen.—To-day there was not much inclination shown on the part of the home trade to operate in Raw Sugar, whilst there was a falling off in the export de mand ; merchants appeared desirous to sell, and a de cline in the value of nearly all kinds took place ; the purchases made by refiners and grocers were upon a small scale only in West India of all kinds, although there were sellers upon rather lower terms ; at public sale 125 hhds of l3arbadoes went at a decline on former rates.

Green is in large supply, and is offered at a further reduction in prices, making the decline during the last three weeks d to id on common, and 2d to 3d on the better sorts: still the purchases made have been to a limited extent only in all kinds.

The novel of "Paul Pevensey," of which we have four additional chapters in the present number, is a work which the world will not willingly let die. It is years since a novel has appeared so perfect in all re spects as Paul Pevensey. The descriptions are beau tiful exceedingly, the diction is eloquent, the dialogue appropriate, and the incidents striking, without being improbable. The author's great forte, however, is in the conception and delineation of character. Paul him self, Wilkinson, the showman, and his wife and attendants, are all living, moving, breathing, human beings, not as is too often the case mere lay figures. It is, however, in the character of Kate Pevensey, that the originality and genius of the author are most cleverly manifested. A woman of great natural powers, but of uncultivated intellect, brought up as a labourer in a coal mine, Kate Pevensey meets with a gentleman of education, who is attraced by her per sonal charms. Seduced by his refinement and edu cation, she falls a victim to his arts. He deserts her, and she gives birth to a son. She indulges in the hope of meeting him again, or at least of hearing from him, and she determines to learn to read. For this purpose she applies to the daughter of the clergy man of the parish for assistance, and becomes an accomplished scholar, one able to read and admire and appreciate Shakspere, and yet obliged to earn her subsistence by working in a coal mine, feeling keenly the disgust which every cultivated mind must feel at being brought into constant and close contact with the persons with whom she must daily mix in such an avocation. We look with great interest to the development of the character of Kate Pevensey. Our author has studied the subject of education, and his incidental observations thereon are worthy of serious consideration. " All the world now talks of education, but few think of making silence and solitude an element of it, or of enriching the youthful mind with those associations which familiarity with external nature in her gentlest and quietest moods is c a l cu l ate d to create . N o thing, however, can be more wholesome or strengthening than playing freely on the lap of our great mother when we are engaged in the search after ideas. By so doing we acquire a taste for the vast and the infinite, and escape being absorbed by those frivolous amusements, or those worldly habits, which are too apt to sway the minds of those who are brought up exclusively in towns. Not that we think meanly of the habitations of man, or of that ocean of life and intelligence which rolls through cities, for by this also we may profit; but that it is better the soul should conceive its offspring in tranquillity, wherever it may afterwards bring forth. " Paul Pevensey, at any rate, was compelled by cir cumstances to build up the first stratum of his know ledge with out of-door materials. What he had learned in the pits we already know. He had, since his acquaint ance with the Wilkinsons, acquired many ideas of a different class from woods and streams, from corn-fields and new-mown hay, from moonlight walks in forests, from mountain rills, from grassy springs and lakes, and the infinite variety of sunrises and sunsets. Something, too, he had observed of the habits of animals, and of the virtues and vices of men, for among the showman's attendants were fellows of all sorts; and the frequenting of markets and fairs opened up a prolific field of study, in the manners and incidents of vulgar life. To this must be added the experience of Tom Link, whose ima gination had been imbued with the colours of the East, and who delighted in interesting and astonishing his pupil by the most exciting and extravagant descriptions of what he had himself witnessed or heard." Is not this a more useful education than can be learned in schools ? This passage alone is sufficient to prove that the author of Paul Pevensey is no common man. Mr. Percy St. John continues his novel of " Cecilia Armand," and Mr. John Oxenford gives us some exquisite translations from Jean Paul. We have a curious collection of alliterative aphorisms, by B. Barnett, and an admirable review of Mr. St. John's work on the Eastern Archipelago. This is the best number of the Mirror which has yet appeared. THE MAN IN 7HE MOON. Edited by Albert Smith and Angus B. Reach. From an excellent quiz on the " Folk Lore," so pompously paraded in the Athenceum, we extract the following on " Smoke :" "In some of the suburbs of the metropolis a singular practice prevails. Youths, generally under years of dis cretion, set out, towards dusk, on an expedition which leads them to the obscure haunt of a female, usually of the Hebrew race. With winks and other symbols, con veyed with aid of a patois peculiar to the individuals, they express their meaning, and from the female they receive several little brown rolls, of a disagreeable smell. Lighting these at one end, the ignorant boys will suck them during a whole evening, believing two strange things—first, that the rolls in question come from a dis tant country, instead of au adjacent cabbage garden ; and, secondly, that those who thus suck them appear manly and dignified." The illustrations to this number are as usual ex cellent. 7'HE PATRICIAN. Edited by John Burke, Esq. The trial of Spencer Cowper, brother of Lord Chancellor Cowper, for the murder of Miss Stout, a Quaker lady, is perhaps one of the most interesting trials ever recorded. The subsequent career of Mr. Spencer Cowper (who was acquitted) renders this trial still more interesting. He subsequently entered Parliament, and eventually became one of the Justices of the Court of Common Pleas. This is the only instance on record of the elevation to the Bench of any person who bad been tried for murder. He was the grandfather of Cowper, the poet. The series entitled " Deaths of the Sovereigns of England," is concluded in this number; and "The Clubs of Lon don" are continued. The author gives us the history of clubs from the Kit-Cat to the Beef -steak. We have also several interesting fragments of familylis tory in this number of the Patrician. THE QUARTERLIES. THE EDINBURGH REVIEW..IIT; `LXXIV. A rather superficial, but ingeniou s , t rea ti se upon the " Laws respecting Navigation," is th e p r i nc i pa l article in this quarters number of the Edinburgh. The question is becoming one of such extreme im portance, however, that any additional argument, either pro or contra, is acceptable, if it be only con ducted with an honest impartiality. ne are gratified, therefore, in perusing a paper upon this interesti ng subject in this eminent organ clad in blue and buff, even though the writer has adventured upon his theme without being thoroughly conversant with the details of his subject. In his anxiety to enter °at once into the consideration of the matter, ho has exceeded the bounds o f discretion, but he has at least afforded another testi mony of how eminently necessary the final adjust ment of the enactments respecting navigation has become since the doctrines of free trade have been admitted by the Legislature into the commercia l portion of the constitution.: Besides its other labours, Parliament will have to enter earnestly into the examination of the preceding codes, and we are satis - fied that, although the entire abrogation of the exist ing laws upon navigation would, at least yet awhile, be most injudicious, as jeopardizing our maritime preponderance, it will be found that some com - prehensive modification is absolutely requisite for the facilitation of trade and the full de velopment of our mercantile resources. The changes which have been already made from time to time show that the question is one of very con siderable difficulty. An Act passed in 1651 declared that no commodities grown, produced, or manufac tured in Africa, Asia, or America could be imported to the United Kingdom or its dependencies other wise than from the place of their production, and in vessels manned, commanded, and owned by British subjects. Another Act (the 12th Charles 11., c. 18) ordained that, in as far as the restriction applied to goods of all descriptions, it was limited geographically to the goods of Turkey and Russia ; and that else where it affected merely those commodities which have been since known as " the enumerated articles." "By the law as it now stands, and has stood sinceiMr. Huskisson's amendment of it in 1825, the produce of Africa, Asia, or America may be imported from places out of Europe into the United Kingdom, if to be used therein, in foreign as well as British ships; provided such foreign ships be ships of the country of which the goods are the produce, and from which they are imported. And as regards the produce of Europe, the enumerated articles: may now be brought 'in British ships, or in ships of the country of which the goods are the produce, or in ships of the country from whi c h th e goo d s are ' im ported.' Goods not enumerated in the Act, which are the produce of Europe, may be brought thence in the ships of any country. " All intercourse between the United Kingdom and its possessions in all quarters of the globe, including the Channel Islands, is confined to British ships; and the like restriction applies to our inter-colonial trade. No go ids may be carried from any British possession in Asia, Africa, or America, to any other of such possessions, nor from one part of such possessions to another part of the same, except in British ships. "No goods can be imported into any British possession in Asia, Africa, or America, in any foreign ships, unless they be ships of the country of which the goods are the produce, and from which the goods are imported. " No ship is admitted to be a ship of any particular country, unless she be of the build of such country, or have been made prize of war to such country, or ior feited under any law made for the prevention of the slave trade, or be British built; nor unless navigated by a master who is a subject of such foreign country, and by a cre w o f w h om three-fourths at least are subj4ecti of such country, ner unless wholly owned by subjects of such country. " No goods, or passengers, shall be carried coastwise /. / an d Xo ti O boe► WO St. uel‘ eeP ear pe;
