The Cotton Market at Liverpool on Saturday closed firmly, and Friday's rates were fully main tained. The sales amounted to 8,000 bales, I,OOQ of which were taken by the speculators, and 1,000 by the exporters. The Railway Share Market exhibited a very dull appearance, but prices slightly advanced. Trade, in the textile manufacturing districts of the north of England, is described in letters re ceived this morning as remaining steady, but in some departments more activity'seems to have been experienced during the last few days. In Man chaster, for instance, the accounts from India have Caus e d an increased inquiry for particular articles, which, notwithstanding the large stocks on hand, has rendered quotations rather firmer. On the whole, business in this town is improving ; but in Leeds the progress •of commercial operations is not considered favourable, owing t 3 the unsettled state of affairs in the East, and the tightness of the Money-market. In th e other towns no material alteration has taken Place. The iron trade of South Staffordshire is pronounced healthy ; and at the recent Badk meeting held in that locality satisfactory dividends have been declared, which may be accepted as Some indication of the prosperity of business. The accounts from New York by the steamer Asia are satisfactory in a monetary point of view, the rates of discount still being moderate. The local banks were granting extended facilities, but it is thought that a period of stringency will soon be experienced. There is no particnlar variation in the state of the Money Market, but the tendency is rather fa - ourable, owing to the diminished inquiry and the large supply. Good employmeut, however, is still found for capital at the current rates, and only in few cases are bills negotiated below the officid minimum. Notwithstanding the Eastern exchanges are rather lower, the drain of silver to India is ex pected to continue, and active preparations are iu progress for the shipments on the 28th inst. by the steamer Colombo, which will probably take out upwards of a million sterling. These arrange ments are causing occasional withdrawals from the Banks, but they excite no unea,iiness, because extensive remittances, which will no doubt make up the deficiency, are due from Australia. The quotation for 60 days' bills on London at New York continue steady, viz., 1091, and this en sures a continuance of gold receipts from that quarter. The Asia, arrived yesterday, brought about 184,0001., and these small supplies added to those from the antipodes and Mexico will sustain the bullion in the bank vaults at a satisfactory point, despite the efflux to the East and the Continent. On Saturday a further small parcel of gold, viz., 1 2,0001., was withdrawn from the Bank. Last Week the imports of the precious metals amounted to 402,0001., and the exports, as far as can be ascer tained, about 126,400/. The market for silver is steady at previous quo tations, viz. :—Bar silver, 61id. per oz. stands' d ; five-franc pieces, 59id. per oz. ; Mexiean dollars, 61d. per oz. Bar gold, 7Th. 9. per oz. standard : and American eagles, 765. 3d. per ounce. There has been a meeting of the Great Luxem bourg Railway company to-day—the Hon. Francis Scott in the chair. The receipts for the half-year was said to average about 1,0001. a week. The line would be completed from Brussels to Arlon at the price contracted for. To do this it was pro posed to issue 125,000 bonds of 51. at 31. each to to the shareholders. At the meeting of the London, Tilbury, and Southend Railway Company to-day—J. N. Daniell, Esq ,in the chair—the receipts for the half year were 22,0811. 12s. 10d., and the expenditure 13,5731. 19s. 3d., leaving a balance of 8,4001. in favour of revenue. The dividend is 6 per cent., guaranteed by Messrs. P ete, Betts, & Co. The Market for Public Securities this morning has been rather variable, and it is evident that Some of the speculators, being satisfied with the late improvement have realised their profits. These transactions have had the usual effect of de pressing values,' and the result on the present occasion has been a decline of per cent. The public have been purchasing for investment, but not to a sufficient extent to neutralise the influence of the adverse operations referred to. The finer state of the weather has given satisfaction, but the rise of 3s. per quarter in Mark-Lane is con- I sidered an unsatisfactory feature, especially by those who are desirous of lower prices. Consols for transfer' have been 913. and 91k k, while for the account they have been 91i 2- and 911 t. They are now 914 and 91.1 respectively.

Eastern Counties, Lancaster and Yorkshire, Manchester, Sheffiel, and Lincoln, North Eastern, York, and &n d th Eastern, Ms. North Eastern Berwick, Caledonian and Great Western declined about 10s.

As the wheats have received some damage in the Midland counties tram the late heavy rains, the attendance of country buyers was considerably on the increase, and the trade ruled brisk, at an advance in the quotations realised on Monday lest o from 2s. to per qr., but the whole of the supp:y was f not disposed or.

The Modern Scottish , Minstrel. Edited by Charles Rogers, LL.D. Iu 6 vols. Adam and Charles Black. Edinburgh. This admirable work forms a valuable addition to the literature of the present day, its object Leing to offer to the public a collection of the Songs of Scotland of the past half century. To this are added memoirs 'of the poets, which are interesting to study, as in some way explanatory of their various works, and characteristic of their peculiar bent of mind. Another advantage possessed by this com pilation is the metrical translation from the Gaelic, which undertaking, it is said, has not before been achieved in the same manner. Those lovers of their country who rejoice in the attainments of her sons, or even the refined and intelligent who welcome talent in every form of every land, should appre ciate the appearance of this work as conferring, by its labours and research, a finished specimen of a nation's taste. It will strike the reader of these memoirs that the cultivation of the muses is widely diffused and extensively spread abroad in Scotland, and the words of that minstrel, who was the shining ornament of his country, and some of whose works shed a lustre on these pages, are recalled to the memory " Oh, Caledonia! stern and wild, Meet nurse for a poetic child I" The country of the Ayrshire ploughman can claim its bards from every rank, and its minstrels have filled some of this world's meanest places, but in the world of thought they have taken a high degree, in the archives of its annals, they may he invested with the everlasting insignia of the nobility of mind, the knights whose swords will never rust, the kings whose purple cannot fade. Although associated with the highest flights of imagiryttion into the regions of the purest and most lofty thoughts, breathing the essence of refinement in its nature and attributes, the spirit of poetry has been universal iu imparting its gifts to the sons of men, its presence has charmed the hours of the captive prince, and formed the delight of the wander ing tribes; " stretched in the deserts round their evening fire." Nor only there, but penetra ting into the busiest _resorts, entering the most crow d e d confines, it has made music to the ear deafened by the roar of traffic, and shown the form of beauty to the eye wearied by the sight of con stant turmoil. The artizans labouring at their dreary avocations, have hailed the presence of the enchantress — "Thanking God, whose boundless wisdom made the fljwers of poesy bloom, In the forge's dust and cinders, in the tissues of the loom." One of the most pleasing lays of the simple style here met with is " The Land of the Leal." It is a touching and beautiful com position, and does honour to the taste that att uned its wing mea sures, and the heart that gave utterance to its lovely truths. It is the production of Baroness Nairn, by some it has been erroneously attributed to Burns. The first verses are as follows : I'm wearin' awa, John, Like snaw wreaths in thaw John ; I'm wearin awa' To the land o' the leal. There's nae sorrow there, John ; There's neither cauld nor care, John : The day's aye fair I' the land o' the leal. Our bonnie bairn's there, John • She was baith gude and fair, John ; And, oh ! we grudged her sair To the land o' the leal. But sorrows ser•wears pas: John, And joys a-comin' fast, Joh n— The joy that's aye to last In, the land o' the leal. Foremost in excellence among the names before us are those of Sir Walter Scott and Thomas Camp bell. It would be a work of superoroga.tion to at tempt now-a-days to measure by a common standard, or to criticize by a brief notice such giants of renown, whose fame has been spread through the length and breadth of the land, and gives promise of its descending to generations still unborn. The songs of Scott here selected are culled from various sources ; the reader will recog nise many a favourite taken from those wonderful compositions that blent the romance of history with the charm of the fable, and joined to the light of a poet's fancy, a lustre reflected from the heroic age. The works of Scott, both in prose and poetry, were powerful in 'restoring the memory of the past in its majesty, they were as the vestal nymphs fanning the expiring flames on th e altars of chivalry. The poems of Campbell yield to none in spirit and daring, they awaken to the conflict as with the sound of a trumpet, they inspire to success by the war-song of victory. A. grander naval ode was never penned than " The Mariners of England." The empire on which the sun never sets can find no better ex ponent of its guardian powers than the author, who has declared that " Britannia needs no bulwarks, No towers along the steep ; Her march is o'er the mountain-waves, Her borne is on the deep." With the same energy and enthusiasm that fired the recital of the exploits of the hearts of oak on the ell address himself to the great waters, d oes Cam p b civic heroes. He has exclaimed to the men of Eng land, "Let the world revere us, for our people's rights and laws," and the more intimate know ledge we have since gained of foreign nations only enhances our conviction of the truth so eloquently expressed, that our country's civil liberty is worth a hundred Agincourts. The poems by Francis , Bennoch ate worthy of con sideration. They are composed in a free, genial spirit, and bear the indebble impress of the real and the true. The feelings of the heart have guided the pen, and each flowing verse and tuneful mea sure seems kindred to some cherished sentimen t- , or addressed to some congenial mind. The author, who expresses his thoughts in a natural manner, be the style ever so simple, has attained a triumph that nothing can deprive him of. True genius is independent of disguises, however splendid, and needs no straining after effect—it despises and re jects them. It was not in a cloud of hazy ambi guity that the master spirits of the sublime art enveloped their " thoughts that breathe, and words that burn," and whoever would follow, however afar, on their immortal track, must infuse the na tural into the ideal, or the highest efforts of talent, the most vivid flashes of fancy, will become as sounding brass or a tinkling cymbal. In the works of Francis Bennoch there is a diversified series. " In varying cadence, soft and strong, He sweeps the sounding chords along." Here the gallant ship dashes over the Atlantic waves ; there the faithful lover pays his vows at the shrine of his affections. Florence Nightingale is a worthy theme for song, and a heroine for whom worship is not homage thrown away. She is here addressed in appropriate strains, and we behold from her portraiture that while she walked on her mission as the handmaid of Mercy, the influence she shed around was that of the angel of Peace. Perhaps the most interesting son g among this collection is that entitled " Good Morrow." The first stanza was composed by . Mi-s Mitford. ; the second, by her request, was the work of Mr. Bennoch. It will be seen thafthe arduous undertaking of completing another's creation has been successfully achieved Good morrow, good morrow ! warm, rosy, and bright, Glow the clouds in the east, laughing heralds of light ; Whilst still as the glorious colours decay, Full gushes of music seem tracking their way. Hark ! hark 1 Is it the sheep-bell among the ling, Or the early milkmaid carolling? Hark ! hark ! Or is it the lark, As he bids the sun good morrow i Good morrow; Though every day brings sorrow. The daylight is dying, the night drawing near, The workers are silent ; yet ringing and clear, From the leafiest tree in the shady bowers, Comes melody falling in silvery showers. Hark ! hark ! Is it the musical chime on the bill, That sweetly ringeth when all is still! Hark ! hark ! Oh, sweeter than lark, Is the nightingale's song of sorrow, Of sorrow ; But pleasure will come to-morrow. Prefixed to the poems is a memoir of the author, written by William Jerdan. It is interesting to peruse, and, as may be supposed, is a production of ability. It would be difficult to find, among minor poets, a subject more beautiful in its expression, or more touching in its earnestness, than the elegiac tribute of David Moir to his child, who shared the doom of Heaven's favourites' early death. The genius of poetry reveals its fairest and purest gift, and fulfils its holiest mission in such a prerliicesv.

HOUSE OF COMMONS—(This Day.) The SPEAKER took the chair at twelve o'clock. PRIVATE BUSINESS. The Lords' Amendments to the Lancaster and o . lr. lisle and Ingleton Railway Bill were considered ‘1 ,4 agreed to. MERSEY CONSERVANCY BILL. Sir J. GRAHAM moved that a select c.immittrm, appointed to inspect the Lords Journal relative #., the Mersey Conservancy Bill, which had passed this 11 .0 , 8 , 3. The right hon. baronet having explained the objects of the bill and its progress through this house and the Ron of Lords up to its being referred to a select committe , said that the object of the motion was to put an end c e the present bill, with a view of introducing anoct i , r bill this session, to be passed through its various at - Apo' without delay, to give effect to the bill in the ilo'lse of Lords, changing the amount of compensation from 750,000/. to 1,500,0001. Mr. J. EWART seconded the motion. After some remarks from Mr. HENLEY, The motion was agreed to and the committee narr,el„ DIVORCE AND MATRIMONIAL CAUSES BILL. The committee was resumed on this bill. On clause 28, providing for the dismissal of pet:alone, Mr. HENLEY asked for an explanation of the. clans% The ATTORNEY-GENERAL said that the the 27th and 28th clauses were proposed with a view or prevent. it g colluoirm between the parries in uncontested casae, and the 29th gave an extended area of defence. Mr. HENLEY moved the omission of the wor , /s • "alleged adultery," and the insertion in their pla,o, "facts alleged," to make the clause consistent with the 2712 clause. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL objected to the amendment. After a discussion in which Sir W. Heathcote, L or d John Manners, Mr. Ayrton, the Attorney-General, Mr. I Butt, Mr. Henley, Mr. Bovil, Mr. Wigra t u s and Mr. Walpole, took part, The amendment was withdrawn. Mr. BOVILL moved an amendment :—That conel e ., nation of adultery on the part of the husband should n , be an absolute bar to a divorce for subsequent adultery on the part of the wife, but that it should be left to toe discretion of the court. The ATTORNEY-GENERAL accepted the amend. meet, and it was subsequently agreed to by the Con ~ mittee. Mr. H. INGRAM moved an amendment, prohibitibg a petitioner, whose petition has been dismissed trua t again petitioning the court in the same case within fi ve years. If parties aggrieved were allowed perpetually to apply to the court it would engender the worst feelings and destroy domestic peace. On the other hand a period of five years was likely to cool down the passions, and give rise to a reconciliation. The ATTORNEY•GENERAL said that the appre. hension of the hon. member was unfounded, because the bill prevented a second application to the Court after r 4 decision in the same case. After some discussion the amendment was negatived. The clause, with amendments, was then agreed to. [LEFT SITTING.] Passages in the Life of a Soldier. By Lieut.-Col. Sir J. E. Alexande - , K C.L.S. 2 vole. Hurst and Blackett. Military memoirs have risen into considerable importance in the last few years. During the long European peace the record of a soldier's experience, unless engaged in Indian was fare, would have been confined to his own private affairs or travelling ad ventures. Now the case is dill: rent ; and although, unfortunately, our attention is directed to a fresh scene of strife and suffering, the interest in the events of the Crimean struggle is not exhausted, and many will welcome the simple and soldierlike picture of camp life which is given in these volumes. The first volume is chiefly occupied with recollec tions of Canada, when) the author passed some years, being on the staff of General Sir Benjamin D'Urban, commander-iu-chief of the forces in Bri tish North America, with whom he had previously served at the Cape of Good Hope. He describes the riots of 1849 respecting the unpopular Rebellion Losses Indemnity Bill, and the subsequent burning of the Parliament House, which he considers to have been the result of a series of unfortunate accidents rather than of direct intention. A less serious com motion, though attended with some casualties, was occasioned by the Gavazzi riots some years later. We have some sketches of Canadian scenery, as well as its social features, and. a description of the country surrounding the lakes. At the comeaence ment of the Russian war the author volunteered to join the army in the East, having previously been in Russia, and having spent some time in the Crimea. In the beginning of the year 1854 the expected order came, and Sir James Alexander left for the East, where he remained until the pro clamation of peace and the final evacuation of the Crimea . .. The battles of the Alma and Inkerman were of course over long before his arrival ; he joined in the midst of the weary siege, and was present on the unfortunate 18th of June, as well as in the concluding struggles. Without any partisan ship, and evidently avoiding censure or criticism on any one in authority, he draws a melancholy picture of the bufferings of the army, not so much from neglect or want of necessaries, for the worst time was over when he arrived, as from the un avoidable hardships of such a prolonged campaign. The duty in the trenches was most arduous, even without the danger. " Who of those `who live at home at ease' can fully understand the extreme misery and wretchedness of our soldiers, who nightly went down to the trenches in the winter months of 1854-55, on rations of salt meat and bard biscuit, inducing thirst and disease, plunging through mud, and arriving at their posts wet and weary, unable to lie down in the slush of the trench, and keep ing.a, miserable vigil till dawn showed the pale, haggard, and mud-be-grimed ' Crimean heroes ?' "Frost, snow, and rain then alternate d . If the trench guards sat down, they were perished with cold and wet : if they walked about, out of the trench arid in rear, they exposed themselves to be shot, as the parapet was not sufficiently high to protect them. One night throe poor fellows, overcome with fatigue, went outside the parapet to sleep on a dryp lace, risking the Russian bullets—they were all three shot. Trench life was nut a pastime, certainly, summer or winter, yet some officers really took an interest in it, and I heard that deservedly esteemed and gallon", soldier, Sir John Campbell, rally a field-.fficer one day about his partiality for the fourth para'lel," Sir James Alexander himself, though firmly con vinced of the ultimate success of the siege, was not at all sanguine as to the result of the attempts on the 18th. He says — , Though some doubtless considered victory as certain on this occasion, I own I hasl not the least idea of suc cess myself. I had watched almost every morning from the front the state of affsirs in the town, and on the enemies' works. I knew that they were strong, well prepared, and net in the least inclined as yet to yield to our pressure, also that they had not been sufficiently beaten, or our works pushed close enough to their prin cipal line of defence, to give assurance of success. Of course, our duty, whatever we thought of what was likely to happen, was to do our best, to comply stlictly with our orders, to put a bold face on the matter, and to express no doubts, but to encourage one another ' to qu it ourselves like men.'" He shows both officers and men in favourable colours, though without any effort, and he keeps his own achievements in the back ground, though he was engaged in many of the scenes of danger. The style is simple and straightforward, though sometimes careless, the end of a sentence not always agreeing with the be g inning, but this is less no ticeable in thesee,ondvolume than the first. The work is evidently the production of a military offi cer of experience and judgment. The Appendix contains many hints, which deserve the considera tion of those occupying positions of military autho rity. The precautions that should be observed respecting the men's dress, exercise, food, and drink, &c., are told in plain terms, and much sensible advice given, which officers and soldiers would do well to profit by. The work has con siderable attraction for the reader, offering enter tainment in its Canadian sketches, and interest, though of a mournful character, in its records of Crimean experience. CRIMINAL COURT.—(This Day.) OLD COURT. The August session of the Central Criminal Court commenced this morninff, befora the Lord Mayor, Al. derman Sir C. Marshall, Alderman Sir R. W. Carden, M.P., Mr. Sheriff Keates, Mr. Mr. Under Sheriff Anderton, and Mr. Under Sheriff Crosley. There ar 106 prisoners to be tried, which is under the usual ave. rage, considering there has been an interval of nearly six weeks since the last sessions. The Common Sergeant, in charging the grand jury, congratulated them on the comparatively small number of prisoners to be tried, and the light character of the offences. With the exception of one charge of murder by a man named Payne, in St. Martin's-lane Work. house, and a charge of manslaughter against the engine. driver, stoker, and signalman on the North Kent Rail. way, the charges that would be brought before them for investigation would be of the ordinary description. During the present session a bill had been intro. deiced in the House of Commons, but withdrawn, for tha abolition of grand juries. Undoubtedly there Iver 3 some strong arguments for their abolition, but at the same time it could not be wondered at that a great des 1 of constitutional jealousy should be expressed at the abolition of an ancient institution that bad been and was of so much advantage to the liberty of the subject, cope. cially against the improper use of the prerogatives of the Crown. There were no doubt many cases in whizli their inquiry, following that taken with great care by magistrates, might be dispensed with, but in others it was essentially necessary they should be called on to pro• nounce an opinion. After alluding to the charge of mur der, the learned gentleman said there was a charge of manslaughter against three men, servants of the London and South-Eastern Railway Company, arising out of the melancholy and fatal accident that occurred at Lewisham station at:the end of June last, by the prisoners running into a stationary train at that place. Man. slaughter was murder without malice, and might arise as much from culpable neglect or omission in doing A lawful act, as well as the perpetration of an illegal act ; and the question they would have to consider was whether the deaths of the unfortunate persons who were killed by that accident resulted from the neglect and carelessneFs of the parties charged, when in the discharge of their official duties. The learned gentleman in cor. elusion referred to the case of stabbing in the Queen's prison, to a charge of burglary against certain parties who entered at night an unoccupied house, where goods were stored, for the purpose of regaining possession o f them, from a belief that they would be defrauded of them, which he thought could not be sustained, because the law held that to constitute burglary it should be en tering premises within certain hours with the intention of stealing. That he did not think applied to this case, which was undoubtedly an unlawful act, laying th e parties open rather to a charge of trespass than burglary. After some further remarks on one or two other cases, he dismissed the grand jury to the discharge of their duties. THE ACCIDENT TO TIIE ATLANTIC TELEGRAPH CABLE. PLYMOUTH, FRIDAY EVENING, Mr. Cyrus Field arrived in London on Saturday, and made the following official report to his co-directors : " Her Majesty's ship Leopard, Captain Wainewright, arrived at Portsmouth on Friday evening, and reports that the Atlantic telegraph cable was lost at a quar‘er before four o'clock on Tuesday morning, after having then paid out successfully 335 nautical miles of cable, and the last 100 miles of it in water over two miles in depth, and the greater part of this at a rate of rather more than five knots an hour, At the time the accident occurred there was a heavy swell on. The Niagara was going at the rate of four knots an hour, and as the engi neer found the cable was running out in tco great pro• portion to the speed of the ship, he considered it neces sary to direct the breaks to be applied more firmly, and unfortunately the cable parted at some distance from the stern of the ship. The Agamemnon, Niagara, and SUF. quehana are to remain a short time where the cable parted, to try some experiments on the depth of water of that part of the Atlantic, of 2,000 fathoms, which it is considered will be of great advantage to the oaminny, and then all the vessels go on to Portsmouth. The Cyclops was sen' back with despatches to Valentia, and she was then to join the Leopard atPlymouth. Although this unfortunate accident will postpone the completion of this great undertaking for a short time, th e result of the experiment has been t o convince all hat took part in it of the entire practicability of the undertakiog, for, with some slight alteration in the paying-out machinery, there appears to be no great difficulty in laying down the cable. It has been clearly proved that you can success fully telegraph through 2,500 miles of tel cable, and that its submergence at a great depth had no . per ceptible influence on the electric current. There onfifinvoe practical obstruction to laying it down at Cher miles per hour in the g reatest depth of w ertahaet there is in the telegraph ic p lateau between Irelaand must be o and New f foundland. The exp erience now obained great value to the company, and it is un d w e ; rs e t t o h o e d i t t ha i t s the directors of t he company will decide h best to have mo re cable made and try agai.n .romed r. irtely after the equin octial gales are over, or wait until another summer." Brighton on Tuesday last, in his 67th physician diedha yea r. In the istory of medicine (ooserves the Literary Oazette) his name will be remembered with distinction on a ccount of his ingeni ous and elaborate researches on the p hysiology of the nervous system. In a work, published in 1841, on the " Diseases and Derangements of the Ner vous System," he brought his views on this department of pathology and practical medicine before the profession. In 1842 his " New Memoir on the Nervous System, a handsome quarto volume, with plates illustrative of his researches, attracted considerable notice. Various other professional treatises were written by him, the earliest as long since as 1830, entitled " Commentaries on Diseases of Females." In 1837 he published A systematic work on the " Theory and Practice of Medicine," and, in 1846 " Practical Ob serva ti ons an d Suggestions in Medicine.
