MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. I Sh, CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Advices from Liverpool state that the Cotton Market on Saturday closed heavily, and prices were the same as during the preceding week. The sales comprised 4,000 to 5,000 bales. The Railway Share Market was quiet at the current rates of Friday. The accounts from most of the manufacturing districts in the north of England are favourable, although there does not appeal to be much animation in business. At Manchester the high quotations cheek operations, but the manufacturers are well employed, and show no inclination to submit to any reduction. A meeting has been held of the creditors of Messrs. Geo. Ashworth and Co., at which the liabilities were stated at 49,505/., and the assets at 30,0001. The latter, however, are not expected to be fully realised, because they partly consist of sums due from failed firms. A composi tion of 10s. 6d. in the pound has been accepted by the creditors of Messrs. J. and N. Smallpage. Although the transactions at Nottingham are still limited a sanguine operation is entertained with regard to the future, but some express a fear at the upward tendency in the price of silk. Cotton hosiery is in brisk demand, and the advance in the value of the raw material has occasioned a propor tionate movement in the quotations of manufac tured goods. The Leicester market has improved. The woollen trade of Leeds is active, and at Brad ford a fair business is reported. During the past week the arrivals of the precious metals have been rather large, viz., about 678,7001., which have comprised 6,0001. from Africa by the Candace, 77,0001. from the United States by the Africa, 400,0001. from Australia by the Montmo - renoy, and 195,7001. from the West Indies and the Pacific by the Orinoco. The exports have been only to a moderate extent, and have consisted chiefly of shipments to the Continent through the London Custom House, amounting to 81,3801., and 15,0001. to the Brazils by the last packet —amount ing to 96,3801., independently of which it is sup posed that about 250,0001. has been shipped by private sources to France, the particulars of which are not known. Since the alteration in the rate for advances on stock by the Bank of England the money market has become more stringent, and there is now a considerable degree of pressure. In Lombard street and at the Bank of England the applications are very numerous, and there is every prospect of the present terms being maintained if not in sreased. On Saturday there was a scarcity of capital in the Stock Exchange, and as many of the dealers had to repay loans to the Bank much inconvenience was experienced. The " House" was open an hour later than usual—viz., till three o'clock. There has been a larger business transacted in the English Stock Market today, but sales having preponderated, the prices have drooped. Although many circumstances are in favour of an improve ment, the unsettled aspect of the Money Market has a paramount influence, and the tendency is conse quentlyin the direction of a decline. The pressure for money out of doors, and the difficulty found by those who have borrowed money from the Bank to raise the means to return it, have awakened a fear that increased stringency will now be experienced. While this feeling lasts, therefore, we can not look for any buoyancy in Public Securi ties, nor in any other description of negotiable property. Consols for money have touched 951 but have since realised 934 j/. For the ac count, business has been recorded at 94 to 941, SSI, and 931 to 94 ; the present quotations being I for transfer, and 93; to 94 for the sth proxi mo. The New 3 per Cents are 94 to 94i, and the Reduced 93i to 94 ; in these stocks there have been several dealings. Bank Stock rules flat, at 2113 and 2171. Exchequer Bills are firm, consi dering the demand for money, being par to 35. premium, and the Bonds are 98i to 99. Foreign investments excite very little attention. Turkish 6 per Cents, are 95 to 95k, and the 4 per Cents. 1031 #. The Spaniel Committee's Certi ficates have dropped to 5 3 / 4 Sardinian Bonds are 89k. Mexican 21 3 / 4 ; and Belgian 4 3 / 4 per Cents. 98. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 6 7 ; Mexi can, 211 ; Peruvian, 771 81 ; ditto 3 per Cents., $ll 6 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 43 5 ; Russian 6 per Cents., 106 8 ; ditto 4 por Cents., 95 7; Spanish 3 per Cents., 40± ; ditto Deferred, 2Si 4 ; ditto Certificates, 5t ; ditto Passive, 5 i f. There has been an active business transacted in the Railway Share market, but a reduction in value to the extent of fully to per cent. has taken place in almost all the chief undertakings. East Lancashire, Great Northern, Great Western, north Western, South Western, North Eastern Berwick, and South Eastern have declined about 101. The French and Canadian lines are also at reduced rates, but East Indian rule firm. Joint Stock Bank Shares are exceedingly in active, and prices rule rather lower. Miscellaneous shares are moderately dealt in, but at lower quo tations. Canada Government 6 per Cents., Na tional Discount Company, Peninsular and Oriental Steam, and South Australian Government 6 per Cents, being at reduced values.

A t a meet i ng o f the Medical Society o f L on d on, en Saturday evening, Dr. S now read an account of some very interest i ng researc h es which he has recently made into the anaesthetic, or sensation . destroying power of a substance which he has ascer tained to possess properties similar to those of chloroform, and for which, he said, th a t it m i g ht b e su b s tit u ted with advantage in surgical operations. The substance in question is amelyne, a highly volatile fluid prepared chemically from fusil oil. Dr. Snow stated that he had performed a number of experiments with it upon ani mals, and that he had also administered its vapour in above 20 operations in London hospitals with the most satisfactory results. The insensibility to pain was perfect, ." 0 1 and in none of th e cases was its use follwed by sickness, sometimes a very di sagreeable consequence of the admi- 50 nistration of chloroform. The antesthetic effects of ame- OO lyne are more transi ent than those of chloroform, which S2O may, under certain circumstances, be an objection is it. f,O The discovery of the value of this new antesthetie is the 20 result of a laborious series of experiments, in which Dr. 25. Snow has long been engaged, with a view to obtain a 20 substitute for chloroform, possessing none of the incon- Yenient properties and all the advantages of that remark.

The country markets held on Saturday 'were, for the most part, but moderately supplied with wheat, in which about an average business was transacted. Prices were supported without difficulty. Barley sold briskly, and fine parcels were rather dearer. In other articles, scarcely any change took place. The continental markets come steady for wheat, but the business doing in that article is very moderate. From the United States our advices are firm. Very limited supplies of English grain were received up to our market last week. From abroad, the imports were 14,294 quarters of wheat, 3,971 barley, 7,851 oats, 1,400 rye, 47 beans, 390 peas, 1,020 tares, 640 linseed, 3,770 rapeseed, 1,078, sacks, and 2,828 barrels of flour. The supply of English wheat received fresh up to our market this morning, coastwise and by land carriage, was very moderate, consequently the stands were rather scantily filled with samples. Some portion of the supply came to baud in good condition, but the bulk of it was in ferior. The attendance of millers was by no means nume rous, yet most of the show of home-grown wheat was cleared off, at prices about equal to those realised on Mon day last. Fine foreign wheats were rather more inquired for on former terms, but the business passing in them was com paratively small. Low and damp parcels met a dull in. quiry, on former terms. Floating cargoes of grain were dull, but not cheaper. We had an active demand for malting barley, at a far ther improvement in value of ls. per quarter. Grinding and distilling sorts sold on former terms. The malt trade was rather active, at fully last week's quotations. The show of oats was very moderate. Good sound corn moved off steadily. at fully last Monday's quotations. Other descriptions were less active. Beans were in moderate supply, and fair request, at late rates. PREFERENCE SHARES. FUNERAL OF TBE ARCHBISHOP OF PARIS. Before eight o'clok the bells of the various churches of Paris began tolling, and loud atiove all was heard the bourden of Notre Dame. At about eight, though the weather was unfavourable, being cold and damp, with rain, or rather ill melted snow, fallibg, numbers of people collected on the sides of the streets, quays, and bridges along which the procession was to pa,Qs, and others stood at the windows of the houses along the line. By the same hour the troops destined to take part in the pro cession collected in the vicinity of the archiepiscopal palace.

The attendance of buyers was on the increase, and the beef trade ruled very firm, at prices fully equal to those realised on Monday last—the best lots selling at quite 5s 2d per From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 1,600 Scots and shorthorns; from other parts of England 400 of various breeds ; from Scotland 440 Scots ; and from Ireland 67 oxen. We were again very scantily supplied with sheep as to number, but they were for the moat part of full average weight. The mutton trade ruled somewhat active, and last week's currency was fully supported—the beat Downs being worth 5s 4d per 81bs. There were very few calves in the market, and the veal trade was brisk at 4d per 81bs above last Monday's quota tions. The top figure was 5s Gd per 81bs.

The imports have been 33 bags from Hambro% 162 ditto from Harburg, 750 from Belfast, 281 tons from Rotterdam, and 50 tons from Ghent.

WOOL. For English wool there is a very firm demand at ex treme quotations, and many holders refuse to sell except on higher terms. Foreign and colonial qualities move off steadily at full quotations. Last week's imports were 40 bales from Hamburg, 2 from Rotterdam, 46 from Buenos Ayres, 300 from Sydney, 213 from Port Natal, and 2 from Ostend. The following are the current rates of English wool :- Down tegs, is kid to is 6id ; Down ewes, is .d to is 5d ; half-bred hogs, is 40 to is sd; half-bred wetbers, is 30 to is 4d ; Kent fleeces, is 4d to is 53 ; Leicester do., is 4d to is 5d : oombing s kins, is to is 4d ; blank et wool 10d to 2d; flannel erb. i wool, lid te is td; and old skin, 5d to is Go p SHAREHOLDERS SIIMbiONED. —A. private meeting was held to-day, for the purpose of examining certain debtors to the estate of the above bank—a selection was made of such class of cases so as to have the question of ha bility raised. Mr. Bazley and Mr. Linklater appeared for the assig nees ; Mr. Kennedy attended as solicitor to Mr. Thomas Chester Mills, one of the shareholders summoned. • Mr. Mills, of Chester-cottages, Camden-town, clerk in the London and Great Northern Railway Company, was examined, and admitted that he was the bolder of six shares, on which a call of 50/. a share had been made by the directors after the stoppage, but before the bank- ruptcy ; he had not paid the amount, because he was confounded by the case being in the hands of the two Courts, and he had been advised that the case was in valid. He also claimed to be a creditor for 4201. 16.. 7d. on his drawing account, which was more than the amount of the call. He was ready to pay to the proper parties entitled to receive it. After a few words the case terminated, his Honour observing that the witness had not said anything to pre• j udice him. The debt will be enforced on the admission. Another case was heard against the holder of ten new shares under the supplemental charter, and he urged that they were invalid by fraud. This case also stood over. Other cases were to be brought forward, but it is not expected any decision will be given. CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.) The grand jury re-assembled this morning for the purpose of proceeding with the cases against Price, Burgess, and Tester for the gold robbery on the South- Eastern Railway, and against Redpath and others for the frauds on the Great Northern Railway. The officials in attendance were the Lord Mayor, Sheriff Mechi, Sheriff Keats, Under-Sheriff Crosley, Under-Sheriff Anderton, Alderman Moon, Alderman Farncombe, and Alderman Kennedy. No charge was delivered to the grand jury. In the course of the morning the grand jury re turned true bills in each case. POLICE INTP.T.T.TGENCE.—(This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. COMMITTAL OF A DOG STEALER.—Thomas Williams, a dog fancier, was brought before Mr. Beadon on the following charge : Mr. John Davis, of No. 41, Broad-street, Golden square, deposed that on Monday last a valuable spaniel dog was stolen from his premises, and in spite of all his efforts to recover the same he heard nothing of it until Thursday last, when the prisoner called upon him and said, "You have lost a dog, aint you, my friend!" Witness replied that some one had stolen his dog, and he had been to the police about it. The prisoner then said he knew where it was ; it was in the hands of a dealer, ,who bad purchased it of another man for a pound, and if witness would give him that amount he thought he could get it for him. Prosecutor consented, and the prisoner made an appointment to meet him the following night at a public house in Bethnal-green. Witness accordingly met the prisoner, when the latter made an apology for not having the dog, but promised to bring it to Keyes's public house in Compton-street on Saturday night. In the meanwhile prosecutor communicated with the police, and having previously marked some silver, he with a constable went to the public house in question, where they saw the prisoner waiting. Witness asked for the dog, and pri soner said if he would pay down a trifle by way of in stalment he would fetch the dog. Prosecutor then gave ls. 6d., when be left the house, followed by witness, who gave him into custody for receiving money to restore a stolen dog. The prisoner, who denied the charge, was committed for trial under the sixth section of Bishop's Act. THAMES. UTTERING BABE COIN.—A. repulsive, rough-looking fellow, who gave the name of William Connell, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged with passing a base half-sovereign to Signor Joanna Lazsir, an Italian, who keeps a ginger beer shop in Ratcliff-highway. The prisoner and another man entered the prosecutor's shop on Tuesday night last, and succeeded in passing off a base half sovereign in payment for a small pur chase. The prisoner's companion received the change. The prisoner almost immediately detected the imposi tion, swore At the prisoner and his companion, and demanded his silver which he had paid away in change. The two fellows ran away, and one of them was im mediately captured, and stands remanded until to morrow. The prisoner was captured on Saturday in a barber's shop, while he was being shaved, by Townsend, i 4 H, who said he had been in custody before for a similar offence. _ _ _ Police-constable Purchase, No. 70 H, said he saw the prisoner and the man who was remanded in Rateliff highway on Tuesday night. He afterwards saw them running away from the prosecutor's shop. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had been repeatedly in custody for uttering counterfeit coin. Mr. Selfe said the prisoner was before him a short time ago, and his practice was to enter a shop with one or two other men and pass base money. If the Mint autho rities did not prosecute the prisoner he would not go through the farce of remanding any more utterers of counterfeit money. He remanded the prisoner till to- morrow.

Arrived —Knight, from Odes . The vicars-general of the diocese and the canons of the chapter assembled shortly after eight at the palace to preside over the removal of the body. The coffin hav ing been placed In a hearse, a cortege was formed, and at half-past eidit it set out in the following order :—A squadron of Guides with the band, a battalion of the Gendarmerie of the Imperial Guard, and one of a regi ment of the line, each with its band and flag (the latter covered with crape), and each commanded by a lieutenant colonel ; a number of drummers with their drums muf fled, and beating at intervals solemn rolls ; the members of the <<letropolttan Chapter, in carriages ; six priests, bareheaded, carrying the crosier and crucifix of the de cea,ed, and on cushions the insignia of his dignity—all covered with crape ; then the hearse, drawn by six richly-capsisoned horses, and surmounted by a large crucifix—the coffin, which was covered with purple velvet, was without a pall, and fully exposed to view ; foils %1 ing the hearse came, without any attempt at order, a large crowd, consisting of well-dressed persons, work men, invalidas, priests, soldiers, students, &c. ; next was the private carriage of the deceased, in which were seve ral ladies, weeping bitterly ; a carriage of the Emperor, containing an aide•de•camp and other officers in full uni form, and one of the Prince Jerotne's with an aide-de camp ; some private carriages ; and, lastly. a battalion of infantry and a detachment of cavalry. The cortege proceeded by the Rue de Greneile, the Rue de Bour gogne, the Place du Palais Bourbon, the Qaais, the Pont Neuf, the Quai des Orfevres, and tie Rue No;re Dame, to the Cathedral. As it went along the bands played the dead march in " Saul" and other mournful airs, and all the bells of the churches kept tolling. The specta tors observed every mark of profound respect—the men, as the hearse passed, standing uncovered, the women making the sign of the cross and repeating prayers. As the cortege advanced, the prebends and honorary canons of the cathedral, the curs, and other clergy of the parishes of Paris and of the other parts of the diocese ; the superiors and directors of seminaries, deputations of the Trappists, the Jesuits, and other religious orders ; also of the Sisters of Charity and other female communi ties—all wearing their peculiar robes or costumes— assembled at the cathedral ; as did also the Pope's Nuncio, the Bishops of Chartres, Versailles, Orleans, and Meaux; several of the Ministers, the prefect of the Seine, and the municipal authorities ; Marshal Magnan, and a number of officers of the aricy ; deputations of the Senate, of the Legislative Body, of the Council of State and other public bodies. The facade of the cathedral was hung with black. In the interior, the nave, choir, and altar were decked with black fringed with white, and bearing at iht •reals escutcheons with the deceased's arms. The archbishop's throne was besides completely covered with black cloth, on which, in white, was a gigantic crucifix. The catafalque was placed between the nave and choir, almost in the centre of the church—a lofty structure in black and white, with statues at the corners, and surrounded by a vast number of wax tapers. Above it was a handsome canopy of cloth and ermine. The cortege reached the cathedral about 10 o'clock. The prebends and honorary canons and the cures of the diocese, preceded by a crucifix, wear, to the great door to receive the body ; and, accompanied by the canons who had brought it from the palace, conveyed it " with solemn step and slow," to the catafalque. As they did this, the choristers began chanting the hymns for the dead, and after the mitre, crucifix, and crosier of the deceased had been placed on the catafalque, the service for the dead was celebrated in the usual manner. The Bishop of Meaux efficiated. The service was per formed with all the pomp of the Church, and from the great number of priests who joined in it was ex ceedingly mpressive. In the course of it salvoes cif &Tillery were fired from a vacant piece of ground near the cathedral, and at the elevation of the host a detach. anent of soldiers in the body of the cathedral presented arms. After the mass, the five absolutions which the Church orders for an archbishop were given in the usual manner ; and the bishops and clergy, and the distin guished personages present, then sprinkled the coffin with holy water. The congregation then dispersed, but the coffin was left exposed on the catafalque. Owing probably to the unfavourable weather, the cathedral was by no means crowded, and the places which had been set apart for the public bodies were far from being fully occupied. At three o'clock the canons reassembled and ohanted the vespers for the dead. The coffin was afterwards deposited in the vault destined to receive the mortal re mains of the archbishops of Paris, which is situated at the entrance of the choir. This vault only contains five , coffins—those of Mgr. de Juigne, who died since the first revolution ; of Mgr. du Belloy, who gave his re signation at the period of the concordat in 1808, but did not die until 1811 ; of Mgr. de Perigord, who died in 1821 ; of Mgr. de Quelen, who died at the close of 1839 ; and of Mgr. Affre, who was killed in 1848. It has been stated that the heart of the late prelate, which had been embalmed separately, was to be deposited in the church of the Carnes. It is now positively said that, a: the request of the cure of St. Etienne-du-Mont, it will be placed in the latter church, after the ceremony of its purification. —Calignani. The Paris correspondent of the Morning Post says —"I have refrained from giving you any of the various narratives and gossip about the assassin Verger 11,,,at ing in Parisian society, because they are generally founded on, imagination rather than facts. I have now ascertained from an official source some particulars concerning this unfortunate man, on which ,you may depend. The murderer. of the Archbishop of Paris is a handsome man of intellectual appear ance. A. great number of letters were found on his person, and a few manuscripts. In one he states that the Empress of the French had often looked upon him with a smile of affection ! H has long bad a great mania for writing—his last literary production being directed against the dogma of the Immaculate Conception—which he argues in his writings to be a doctrine calculated to destroy faith in the Roman Ca tholic religion. When interrogated, he distinctly said that he had no personal feeling against the late Arch. bishop. " I was determined," said Verger, "to kill a high ecclesiastic. The upper clergy persecutes the lower clergy ; they must be made an example of. I played for my head ; I am prepand for the consequen ces," It is the opinion of the official who interrogated 'Verger that he is a man of extraordinary vanity, and al though not mad in the ordinary sense of the word, at the same time not in a healthy state of mind, at least as re gards questions of religion. He declared that he did not intend originally to kill the Archbishop ; that the idea came into his mind only three days previous to the act. Re added—' I thought the crime occe conceived was written on my forehead, and when I went into the reading-room I held down my head that people might not read it.' He leads you to suppose that he is a per son of great consequence, and will not allow his con versation to be registered without correcting himself tke wording. Tbere is no doubt that two female members of his family have destroyed themselves. The Patric has said : ' Several journals have stated that tragical events have at different tunes happened in the family of the assassin Verger, and that his father, his mother, and one of his brothers had committed suicide—the first two some years ago, and the last only a few months since. His lather is still living, and neither of his brothers committed suicide.' ' The latter statement is true ; but the mother and sister both committed suicide, and one by throwing her self out of the window. Verger is perfectly calm, and either pretends, or does really believe, that the murder he has committed is a praiseworthy act. He insists that in the crime he has committed he had no lay political associates whatever.' " The late Archbishop of Paris made a will, dated at his country house at Belle Eats, only two months before his death. This will, which was found in hie desk, began with the following words : " I die in the faith and love of the Catholic apostolic and Roman Church, for the glory of which I have never ceased to labour in the various ranks which I have filled in the sacred hierarchy." After having divided the bulk of his property, which is far from large, among his relatives, he bequeaths a pen siou of 1,000 franca a year to the Bishop of Tripoli's sister, as a mark of his respect for the bishop, a few legacies to servants, and various sums to different churches and religious or charitable institutions. He leaves his mitre, his stole, his richly-bound missal given to him by the Bishop of Dreux, a collection of medals commemorating the principal acts of his episcopate, and various articles of ecclesiastical attire, to the me , tropolitan church. He also bestows 10,000 f. for the poor of Paris, to be distributed by the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, the sisters of charity, the Petites-Sceurs des Panores, and the curds of all the parishes of Paris. Verger will probably be tried on Saturday, Jan. 17. The Procureur-General will conduct the prosecution in person. There is a report that the First President of the Imperial Court, M. Delangle, will be the presiding judge. Thedecided that Moore's monument is to Dublin at the end of College-strew, b c s omermecittstednihna ve opposite the eastern front of the Bank of Ireland. IbTDISPOSITION OF ALDERMAN FAREBROTRER,—we regret to learn that Alderman Farebrother is so seri ously indisposed, at his residence in Lancaster place, that hut little hope remains of his ulti ma t e recovery. Th e worthy alder Tan is the senior hut one of the Corporation, he being next to Sir Peter Laurie, Kt. who is the father of the Court. Alderman Fare!. brother was chosen a magistrate by the livery on the 6 h of Nov., 1826, in which year he was elected Sheriff, succeeding to the office of Lord Mayor in 1833. POSTAGE UPON NEWSPAPERS.—British newspapers addressed to Denmark, when not directed to be otherwise forwarded, are sent via Belgium and Prussia, and will, in future, be liable to a British postage of one penny each, which must be paid in advance, or the newspapers cannot be forwarded. A British rate of one penny each, and a foreign rate o' orie penny ha-penny each, must also be paid in adv: nee upon every newspaper for Egypt, the Papal States, or Sardinia, when spec ally addressed to be forwarded via Belgium.—By command of the Postmaster-General, ROWLAND BILL, Secretary.—General Post-office, Jan. 10, 1857. " If there is a happy man under the sun, it is the Wise acre. Endowed by nature with that ' mobility' which, though he be hard to satisfy, renders all things for him proportionately interesting and equally accessible, his range is so wide, there is scarcely a subject you can men tion on which he will confess entire ignorance. He may betray it, but not purposely. Ho seems to say, Have done with your repetitions—principles and details, doctrines and histories, art and science, truth and falsehood, micro cosm and macrocosm, all are familiar to him, but he has had so much of it ;'—and if the discussion must proceed, he cares only to listen, just setting you right now and then o❑ a point too small to embroil him in the argument, to which he is sadly unequal. Presume not to moralise, or rhrpsodise, or any way extemporise, for his edification he has considered it all, and dismissed it from his mind, and your very profoundest or most eloquent emanations he greets with the pish ! peculiar to the Wiseacre."

Sketches by Curio. Bosworth and Harrison. A very amusing little volume, containing a quarter of a hundred "Sketches" by Curio —curious to look upon : fresh, sparkling, and laughable. A volume, therefore, especially welcome now, during the long evenings, by the cheerful fireside. Evi dently the writer of the little ok is one most agreeably unhackneyed in thew ills, of literature. Observe " agreeably" unhackneyed—meaning by that, devoid of the mere ordinary commonplaces of pen-and-ink. A draughtsman who works " with a will"—and not simply "to order." Look at the subjects he has chosen to descant upon, for example, in proof of this None of your threadbare Prize Essay themes—" Christmas," and all that sort of thing ! Or vague generalities, again, touched upon "many a time and oft" by 'prentice-hand and master-hand alike. All kinds of men have their features jotted down upon his thumbnail by this ready Sketcher. The " Sanguine," the " Cautious," the " Injured, " the " Conceited, " the " Disagreeable," the " Particular." Here, how ever, are a few examples of the lively and whimsical vein of Curio. THE CODGER. "He is hard upon sixty —weary gaiters, and an unfa shionable costume altogether—ought to wear powder and a pig-tail—is neither tall nor short, but high•shouldered— has a good phrenological head—complexion drab—no whiskers—quick eyes— pug nose—and a Punchinello month, concave from loss of teeth, but genial as Mr. Wilberforce's. He belongs to no club, but has his favourite haunts, where he can depend on bis company, and knows be is not mis interpreted. He seldom dines out—to him synonymous with out of his element. He is a bachelor • makes no noise in the world, nor in the parish, and submits to any penalty to exonerate himself from official responsibility.' THE WISEACRN. IXI XI7ILIIIII. "The Humbug is a pettifogging compound of infidel, coward, and good fellow ; more or less of either, as the case may be; but these are the components of the charac ter. The title embraces a catalogue of delinquents, of all professions, not cognisable by the law of the land,—and host of trivial philanthropists, that victimise their fellow creatures, without intending them the slightest harm. There is the designing , humbug, and the sanguine ; the one, a violator of the spirit, but a respecter of the letter, of the social law; the other, a good-natured being, with a warm heart and no conscience, all impulse and no principle, without steadiness of judgment or of purpose, opinions, legitimate aims, or springs of action. Your genuine hum bug is the mean character between these two, partaking of the venality of the one, and the imbecility of the other, a patchwork of guilt and innocence, a moral scarecrow." Besides which humorous " Sketches" we have various others illustrative of such animals, as the "Bore," and the " Dandy." The close of the merry volume being enlivened by two facetious chapters, one descriptive of " The Wiggins's Mu sical Party," and the other of " The Lord Mayor's Dinner :" with which last mentioned drollery Curio's book is brought to a most agreeable ter mination. the Rural Almanac and Sportman's Illustrated Cale?. dar for 1557. Edited by Christopher Idle, Esq. Published at the Field office. A neatly got up annual, with superior illustra tions in unusual number, and comprising such in• formation as itt several titles would lead the reader to expect. The admirers of held sports, and those who are interested in agricultural and horticultural matters, are likely to appreciate its value.; and the cottager may derive some useful information from it. The illustrations are large, and quite of a popu lar description. HIGH COURT OF JUSTICIARY. TRIAL OF DR. WIELOBYCKI. THURSDAY, Jan. 8. The High Court of Justiciary met this morning at 10 o'clock for the trial of Dr. Wielobycki. The Lord Justice-Clerk, Lord liandysitli, 'iteciteLord Deas, were on the bench, and the C iurte was Cilnded during the entire day. Dionysius Wielobycki was charged with forgery, as also wickedly and feloniously using and uttering as genuine a forged will,knowing the same to be forged, in so far as the now deceased Margaret Darling, lately resbiing in or near Rosefield Place, Portobello, having died intestate on 16th October, 1856, leaving heritable and moveable estate or succession, and the children of Janet Darling or Bruce, and Helen Darling or Richardson, two deceased sisters of the deceased Mar. garet Darling, having right, or having claimed right to participate in the succession, the said Dionysius Wie lobycki did, on one or more of the days between the 24th cf October, 1856, and the sth of November, 1856, in the house in Rosefield-place, Portobello, wickedly and feloniously forge or fabricate, or cause or procure to be forged or fabricated, by Isabella Darling, or did aid and assist the said Isabella Darling to forge or fabrics:a a will or settlement purporting to be written by the deceased Mtrgaret Darling, and intended to pass for and to be received as her will, in the following or similar terms :—" I, Margaret Darling, residing at No. 1, Rosefield-place, Portobello, having, along with my youn ger sister Isabella Darling, by the disposition of our late brother, Thomas Darling, a full right to the possession each of one-half of his property left us by him, and for the love, favour, and affection which I bear to my sister Isabella dispone, give, and bequeath her solely, and to the exclusion of every body ease, all goods, effects, debts, furniture, subjects, and property of every description which may belong to me at the time of my death. In witness whereof I have subscribed these presents written by mysell at Portobello this the twenty-first of August, eighteen hundred and fifty. six ;" and the said Dionysiu Wielobycki did forge and adhibit, or cause or procure to be forged and adhibited, by the said Isabella Darling, or did aid and assist her to forge and adhibit to the said wilt the subscription " Margaret Darling," intending it to pass for the genuine subscription of the deceased Margaret Darling. Further, he was charged with having on the 4th November, 1856, uttered the will as genuine within the writing-chambers of David Wight, W.S., in order that he might use the same, as setting aside the claims of the said children ; and Mr. Wight having intimated to William Rutherford, writer, Galashiels, who acted for the aforesaid children—viz , William Bruce, Delaware, lowa, United States ; John Bruce, weaver, Dalkeith ; Margaret Bruce and Helen Bruce, Galashiels, children of the said deceased Janet Darling or Bruce ; and George Richardson, weaver, and Isabella Richardson, children of the deceased Helen Darling or Richardson, Galashiels—that a holograph settlement by the deceased Margaret Darling had been found, and would put an end to the claims of the said children. And the will having been returned to him, he again on 6th Nov. uttered it as genuine and caused it to be re corded in the Register of Probative Writs in the Register House. Further, be was charged with having on the 10th Nov., in presence of Mr. Wight and Mr. Ruther ford, founded on the will as genuine, all with intent to defeat or injure the rights or claims of the said children, while he had in his possession, or had invested in his own name, funds belonging to the estate of the deceased Margaret Darling end to Isabella Darling, amounting to 3,0001., and that having become aware that the authenticity of the will was under investigation, in proceedings at the instance of 'the Procurator-Fisca l , on a charge of forgery, he destroyed it, or caused it to be destroyed, on the 13th November. The prosecutio nMackenzie , was and the duct deedbrenee by the D the Lord A dvocate ean and Mr. D. of Faculty, Mr. John Millar, and Mr. W. H. Thomson. Mr. Somerville, S.S.C., attended to watch the proceedings with reference to the civil suit at the instance of Miss Darling against the panel. The prisoner pleaded not guilty. The evidence for the prosecution and defence occupied 'the court until Friday evening, at the close of which the Chancellor of the Jury announced the following verdict : "The Jury unanimously find the prisoner guilty as li belled, but recommend him to the mercy of the court." Lord Handyside (who presided in the absence of the Lord Justice-Clerk, who had left the court) said—Since you have recommended the prisoner to the mercy of the court, it would be satisfactory to the court to know the ground on which you make that recommendation ! The Chancellor —On the ground of kis previous good character. The verdict was then recorded, and the diet was adjourned against the prisoner till Monday at ten o'clock, when sentence will he given. The prisoner, who seemed much exhausted by the protracted trial, received the announcement of the ver diet with the same firmness and composure that had characterised hi, demeanour through gut. There was an evident sympathy with him in the crowded court, but the verdict wa , generally anticipated. A large crowd, unable to obtain access to the court, awaited the result of the trial outside. Mr. Lumley is said to have engaged among his tenors for the year Herr Theodor Forme, belonging to the Berlin opera, and brother to the welt known ba so. The Philharmonic Concerts of the season are to com mence in April. As last year, they are to be six in number, and to be conducted by Professor Bennett. An amusing and well- '.4 comedy, by MM. Barri er* mad Capendu, " Les faux Hommes," a satire on modern cupidity and speculation, is attracting its nightly crowds to the Vaudeville Theatre, Paris. MEMORIAL TO THE LATE CAPT. H. L.
