nstalment gives us specimens of bo:h these styles n the lines on Douglas Jerrold and the pardy on Longfellow's -" Flowers." " A memoir of George Frederick Handel" is very interesting. It is to be concluded in the next number. Those who have shared in the celebration of the triumphs of his genius will read with interest the record of his strifes and struggles, and want of ,+ppreciation so long ago. It is a lesson to real genius never to despair though Fortune frown on th.-m, and a crowd of opponents and rivals shut - out his future fame from view. Another very interesting biographical paper is on the lat George Stephen son. It is f unded on a life of him recently pub lished by Mr. Murray, and narrates many interest ing particulars of his eatly days. Zile following amusing anecdote is said to have occurred when in company with several other celebrities, he was paying a visit to the late Sir Robert Peel at Drayton Manor : "With Dr. Buckland the practical miner was not always successful. They differed in opinion on the formation of coal one evening, and the more practised speaker was evidently successful in the discussion. Next morning Sir William Follett met Mr. Stephenson in the grounds suffering from 'a brown study." What are you thinking of,' said the knight. ' Why, Sir William, I am thinking over that argument I had with Buckland last night. • I know I am right, and that if I had only the command of words which he has, I'd have beaten him.' Sir William offered to have the case tried over if Mr. Stephenson would instruct him. So the engineer and the lawyer sat down in an arbour, until the latter was fully instructed on the formation of coal. Sir Robert Peel was taken into the plot, and after dinner be introduced the coal question again. This evening to Dr. Buckland's annoyance he had to grapple with the distinguished lawyer, and was vanquished at every point. When all was ever, Sir Robert Peel said to the beaten man of the previous night, What do you say, Mr. Stephenson.' Why,' answered the attorney in the case who had drawn the brief, 'I will only say tt.is, that of all the powers above and under the earth, there seems to me to be no power so great a. the gift of the gab.'" There are several other papers of merit—among them some sketches on literature and poets. The Mechanics' Magazine contains a great variety of information of a useful and prat tical character, on all the branches of me chanical science. A science so widely employed, so necessary to manufacture, to art, and even to common domestic comfort, should be studied not alone by erne, - cur men o f science, bur, by all whose calling requires in any way its application. Even to those not employed in this manner, the study of Mechanics cannever be unprofitable, for though they may never improve the steam engine or invent an Archinaedean balloon, there are many occasions in which a kno w l e d ge o f th e principles of mechanical science would be of value, and the study, like all scientific study, is improving and sharpening to the faculties. We shall he glad, theiefore, to see a taste for mechanical knowledge m°re general, and the readers of this old-established and valuable magazine still more numerous.— Newton' s Lon don Journal has its usual list of recent pa tents, with scientific notices and reports, and scientific adjudications in disputed cases. —The Assurance Magazine recommends itself to those connect.d with as , uranc- societies, and all con cerned and interested in su c h ma t ern will derive useful informaii n fromits statistics and discus sions. A subject of more general interest and im portance is a paper on the " Causes of Fires in London from 1833 to 1856." The Eclectic Review. —This review opens with a Paper on "The Knights T , mplars," and givEs an account of that remarkable body, and of its myste rious suppression by Philip the Fair. Mr. Maurice's new work receives a cand. , d criticism, and some of the novels of the season are also noticed. A curious article on "Pha.ntasrnata" relate the traditions of the visions of Joan of Arc. " The Prevention of the Smoke Nuisance," and the "Frauds in Food and Medicine" f urn i s h su bj ects f or sens ibl e di scus 'lon. MISCELLANEOUS. The Train scarcely mainta;ns its improved cha racter. However, it has some humorous papers and a tale of truly G erman h orrors , w i t h t h e fasci nating title of " The Deaddouble." It is also em bellished with a portrait and memoir of J. E. Mil lers.—The National Magazine conta)ns its usual collection of sketches and essays. The principal Story is by the talented author of " Gilbert Mes senger," th., it is called "A Story of a Haunted Rouse." The first volume of this magazine is now completed and published in octavo, containing, we are told, more than 100 engravings, and having been produced at a cost of nearly I,3ool.—The with its array of names and illustrations, is most attractive, but unfortunately there is a degree of heaviness in the miscellany which prevents it from being so entertaining as it might be. The in troduction of a few lighter or more lively pa pers would be an improvement. Knight's ad mirable publivations continue with spirit. 'The Cyclopcedia of Biography is drawing to its close. The fifth-third pert continues the letter S. —The Popular History of England has brought us down to the days of Elizabeth.—'l he Churchman's Magazine is devoted to the consideration of theo logical and ecclesiastif•al matters.—Le Follet sets forth the changes of fa , hion in elegant groups and impressive information. A romantic story, called "The Early Contract," is c mum-need, for the benefit of its fair readers,—The Monthly Review, though it app-ars on the 15-h of the month, may be ranked among the magazines. It is almost entirely devo . ed to criticism, in which it displays ability and mod ention.—Ti e serial stories of "Ask Mamma," and " Paved with Gold," are con' inued in their respective styles.

LITERATURE. The Beautiful Islets of Britaine. By W. C. Dent y. Longman and Co. The author tells us in the preface that "this little book is written, n.it as a me: e inventory of the ob jects of nature and ar lying around our course, but with a hope of poiutiiig out where the beautiful may be found, that tine hour may not be lost in sea►ching among the more common pebbles for he gems of the earth"—and he has cert-tioly executed bis intention with a very s iti , fctory degree of ful filment. Much instructive and pleasing mutter is afforded to the tourist, who is "all agog" for the beauties of " Wight," "Scilly," "Arran," t r any of the dozen dotsof land which firm the romantic satel lites of Old England. The mats arid wilt:ideas are advantageous t i the general informat;on given, and 'were we about to start on a pilgrimage to either of the " islets," we should put this little book in our knapsack. a Zit - English Bread Book for Domestic Use. *, Eliza Act on , A u th or o f " Mudern Cookery. ' Longman. The name of Mrs. Acton is well known as.that of an authority in all matters connected with a do mestic culinary establishment. The subject which has at present attracted her attention is one of much importance from its univer:al use, and from the high price which it too often attains, as well as from the adulterations so commonly practised. Mrs. Acton earnestly recommends that home-made bread should be extensively used, and greatly re grets that a knowledge of how to make and bake bread should be such a rare acquirement. The statistics she gives show what a great saving would be effected by the labouring claQses by making their own bread. She quotes from Coboett's work on Cottage Economy a pas , agP in which he proves that a saving of four or five shillings was effected on every bushel of corn in his day ; and at the present time the saving would probably be greater. A still stronger inducement to many will be the advan nof the advan tage of ha v i n g pure and wholesombeakbreera. do insteade the my s t er i ous comman d of the most useful portii, , ns of the work will be the direc tions to a quite inexperienced learner.

The remarks on baking, and the different kinds of ovens, will be of much ser vice. A notice of the improved baking processes and institutions established abroad is appended, h an d contains some useful informati on .

The metre is not always correct, and certainly the rhyme does not display any great poetic talent ; but the little volume will be likely to prove a great assistance to begin oers in English history. Our College. G. Earle, Castle-street. This work consists of a series of sketches of Col lege Life and adventures, or "leaves from an under graduate's scribbling book," as it is also called. It is lively and entertaining, and will afford mucl amusement tothose desirous of forming an acquaint with University Life. There are numerous sketches of varying interest ; the last one, called "Going to see an Execution," describes forcibly the vivid effect on a nervous and excitable mind by an un fortunate visit to the execution of the Mannings. There is plenty to amuse an idle hour in this un pretending volume. Under the Lime Trees. By Caroline Ricketts, au thor of " arials or a life'g lesssons." Booth. This is a pleasant little volume of stories of a domestic nature. There are five tales of varying interest, some mournful, some ending happily, b u t mostly of a mixed nature, showing the chequered path that most heroines of real life are called upon to tread. The authoress writes with ease and ele gance, and those who wish for an agreeable volume of romance, of a simple and natural character will afford her the encouragement she merits. MR. G. T. F. SMITH'S WEATHER PREDIa TIONS FOR JULY. _---~-- TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR" —I have forwarded a statement of the wea ther for July. The intense heat from the 22d to the 28th of June cannot be accounted for by any of the testimonies known to influence the weather, which rather induces belief in the probable return of the comet. Having given the testimony of at mospheric changes considerable attention, I con fess myself puzzled to reconcile the heat from the known causes operating in that interim. Yours, respectfully, G. T. F. SMITH. 6, Sandford-street, July Ist. The temperature from the Ist to 9th will be cool, and showery to the 10th or 11th; from the 11th to the 15th high temperature or hot weather, elec tricity prevalent ; from the 14th to the 20th the sun's rays are refulgent. Electric showers near the 23d, with thunder storms near the 25th, 27th, and 29th ; the month declining with high tem perature. _ _ June gave the humidity and fine weather as predicted, but errors in the temperature, from the 19th to the 281 h, varying from the effect of our ugyal phenomena. Alreeably to traditionary ob servations, comets on their approaching our system invariably cause hot weather ; therefore, should the expected comet be approximating its return this year, all other testimony would become subordinate to it. liAltii.STS—(ihis Day.)

Wayside Fancies. By Frances Freeling Broderiß Moxon. It is not long since the many who regard with affection and veneration the memory of Thomas Hood, gave a kindly welcome to the first literary efforts of his son. His daughter has now entered the same path, giving evidence of taste and talent; but the hum .ur that charmed the graven, the pathos that touched the coldest heart, is not to be found. A cultivated taste, °and ability above the average, must readily be acknowledged, and the childrfn of Thomas Hood have a right to claim a kindly welcome from the literary world, but his genius, generous as powerful, and enduring as ori ginal, is busied with him. Neverthel.ss, judged by itself, apart from all comparison, the volume before us is above me-Jiocrity. It contains a pleasant medley of prose and verse, and the verse is the best, a fact which is striking and unusual. The prose consists of little sketches chiefly light and satiric showing a sense of the humorous, but the poetry has some touches of de-p feeling. The following is from a poem en titled "Six days shall thou labour," setting forth the sufferings of the poor. It contains some powerful lines : " Can you wonder we are Chartists,—that we murmur and repine I We are ignorant ; teach us better; point us up to the Divine, — Teach us he appointed rich and poor their separate course to take, Doing each their solemn duty meekly, humbly, for His sake ; Tell us of a better world on high, where all distinctions cease, And the beggar and the king alike share one eternal peace. Waken from your calm debating in the palace ye have built, For your solemn legislation o'er our wrong., our woe, our guilt ; Come and learn our true condition, with your quiet high-bred grace ; The same merciful Creator made that calm and happy face, And those pinched and haggard features, worn with . sorrow, sin, and pain, And the human souls beneath them both must go to Him again By all these thoughts—the evil past, and that which draweth nigh— By life and death's great mysteries, ob, heed our warn ing cry; Give to the winds the sordid thought of gaining place or pelf, And, working for one common weal, forego all dreams of self. _ Ob, great and mighty of the land ! how will ye yield your tru,t, When the Archangel's awful trump shall summon slum bering dust To meet the Judge in majesty; the record dread un- rolls, — How shall ye answer to your God for all these human souls ? - By your dearest hopes, your deepest fears of that tre- - - meudous day, Oh, save us from th penalty that both of us must pay, " Toe evil wrought by want of thought ;" the human creatures last ; Ttie va.t amnunt of wasted souls your indolence has cost ! The following is a pleasing little poem, full of graceful mel dy " A single rose for thee, lova, One little rose for thee, In change for all the many flowers That thou bast given to me ; So take it from my very heart, Though pale and weak it be. The wild pink buds of spring, love, Did with our hearts unciose ; Our marriage day was sweetly crowned By autumn's last white rose ; They've marked life's sunniest memories, And may they wreathe it 4 close. How many summer roses, love, Have dated pleasant hours, And brew hed a tender charm about This quiet home of ours : Ab, love ! ours was a happy lot, Thus chronicled in flowers. The work is dedicated to the memory of her father, but the " envoi" is a kind of tribute to her brother, who shared her early literary ex ploits. They have adventured, almost simulta neou,ly, into the field of literature ; if their paths in it may not be so high as their father's, they may at least be less thorny. At any rate, they are sure of courteous consideration and kindly welcome, if not for their own merits, at least, in acknowledgment of the debt all who love literature owe to the name of Thomas Hood. Vacations in Ireland. By Charles Richard Weld. Longman. A volume of pleasant sketches of a traveller's ad ventures amolig the beautiful scenery of the sister isle. It is descriptive of the experiences of many visits, bu• though the earlier excursions were made many ye irs ag the author has thought that a few sketches of life, as it was before railway excursions were the fishion, will not be without interest, while the grandeur and beauty of the scenery he de• scribes, remains unaltered. His other visits have been made more recently, the latest only last year. The reader will therefore have an opportunity of comparing the past and the present, as well as of forming an acquaintance with the still wild and little visited distri.ts in the West of Ireland. The author writes in a clear and lively stye, and the anecdotes and sketches of the national character which he introduces c imbine to render bis volume entertaining and agreeable. The chapters on Lord Rosse's telescope are full of scientific interest. They ate reprinted from " Fraser's Magaziiie." The author during his stay in Ireland was frequently the guest of L'ird Rosse. This work contains much pleasant . reading for those desirous of making themselves ainita nted with Irish life and scenery without undergoing the fatigues of a personal in spection. Boy Princes. B y J. C. Edgar, author of "The Boyhood of Great Men," &T. Bogue. Mr E 'gar has, he/ ~e this, con ributed to the knowledge and amu etnent of juvenile readers by the sensible and instructive books he has written for their p-rsusal. The present volume consists of a series of portraits of " Scions of royalty cut off in youth," and includes memoirs of many that hive filled an illustrious place in the pages of history. They are not re stricted to one age or country, but extend from William the Atheling to Napoleon 11., and give to the you' hful reader a mostinterestingiroduction to general history. Though possessing the character of an hi , torical work, the work is entirely devoid of that dryness and want of interest which is too often met with in children's histories. It is written in a simple and clear style, but in a manner likely to rivet the attention and arouse the interest of its readers. Nightshade. A Novel. By Wm. Johnston, M. A. Bent ley. This story will be appreciated by the class who admire polemical work , ' it is not attractive for the general reader. It relates chiefly to the arts em ployed by certain bigoted individuals, to induce or compel young girls to enter convent ,, , whether or not their natural desires or mode of life point that way. A great deal of skill is displayed in the ar rangement of the plot, and the character of the principal actor in the strange scenes ably deli neated. Some passages will appear exaggerated, and many doubtle=s will not go so far as the writer in the arguments he adduces, but he has evi dently written hie book with the best intentions, and with a view to impart knowledge to those whose innocence deserves, and whose ignorance demands instruction.

Darton and. Co. This is an ingenious little volume, - giving the history of England in verse. The authoress re marks that in teaching her children she always f and that verse was much more easily com mitted to mt mory than prose, and made a much greater impression on the mind. She therefore thought others might find this little work a use ful medium of instruction. She does not confine herself to a mere recital of facts, but contrives to we a good deal of incidental information about LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.)

HER MAJESTY'S THEATRE.—Monday, the 6th of Jul'', will he one of the great nights of the season—the benefit of Madlle. Piccolomini—when the performances will comprise a selection from the various operas is which trio versatile genius of this fascinating prima donna has been most conspicuously displayed. An act of "La Figlia del Regi'nento," with which the evening is to commence, brings out both the gay and tender elements in the character of the enthusiastic little Vivandi6re. This will be followed by an act of the "Trovatore," with Spezia as the heroine, Guilini as Manrico—perhaps one of his best characters—and Alboni, in her great part of Azucena. After this Pic colomini will again appear in the last act of the " Traviata"—an opera which will always be remembered as that which at once placed Madlle. Piccolomini in the first rank of dramatic singers. To many the last selec tion which will be given will be chief attraction. The concluding scene of I. Martini will add the interest of a new part to the evening's entertainments. Those who have heard Madlle. Piccolomini in her famous duo "II soon del arpe angelicke" say that both as a vocal and dramatic effort it at least equals the greatest of the achievements with which her name is already familiarly associated, The occasion will be honoured by an un usual concentration of strength upon the ballet,including, among others, Rosati, just arrived from her Paris triumphs, Boschetti, Katrine, and Per, a Nena. ENGLISH GALLANTRY AT DELHI—LIEUT. J. J. ECR F3RD.—The Times publishes a private letter, giving an acco unt of the gallant conduct of Lieut. J. J. Eckford, of the 6th Native Infantry, and son of General Eckford. Our contemporary's Indian Correspondent says : " Lieut. J. J. Eckford, of the 6th Native Infantry, holding an Engineer appointment at Meerut, defended his treasury against the mob for a considerable time, his wife and family hiding in the garden. The house at last was set on fire, and Mr. Eckford severely wounded on the left temple. He remained insensible for a consider• able time (after destroying several of his assailants), while the premises were in flames, but miraculously escaped, at er some hours, with his wife, child, and sister•in•law. He is now out of danger on account of his wound." We are enabled, from a private source of information, to state that this gallant young officer killed, with his own band, four of the mutineers, as they, one after another, sought to take his life. Such distinguished gallantry ought not, and cannot, ao unrewarded by the Govern ment. —Morning A civertiaer. THE MURDER OF MR.

The attention of the public has been called to a prospectus which will be found in our columns this day, issued by the Directors of the Lake Ontario tnd Hudson Railway—who desire to take up a loan on debentures to the . amount of 800,000/. 200,0001. of which they have already "placed" in New York. The bonds are to be for 2081. Gs. Bd., or )nethonsand dollars each, bearing i percent. interest until 1879 when they are repayable. The possessions of the company are extensive, upwards of 500,000 acres in the State of New York covered with timber of great value, for which there is a constant and quick market at both ends of the line, New York nd Sackets harbour. The railway is of easy gradients offering great facilities for construction. Contracts upon very favourable terms have been entered into for the necessary works, but the special feature of this undertaking is that it possesses upon its own lands an amount pf traffic, which is more than sufficient to fully oc cupy its capability of carriage for years to come, and at highly remunerative rates. There continues to be a very dull market for silver, and, as the supply on hand is sufficient for immedi ate wants, the purchases on the Continent will most likely be curtailed. The impression that the monthly shipments to India and China will henceforth diminish has been strengthened by the reduction in the exchanges for bills drawn upon the Indian Presidencies. The Hon. East India Company have given notice that " the rate of exchange at which they will receive cash for bills on Bengal and Madras will, from the present date and until fur ther notice, be 2s. Odd. the Company's rupee, and for bills on Bombay 2s. Old. the Company's rupee." This diminution is equal to 1 per cent. It is now ex pected that most of our specie supplies will go into the Bank, and the late arrivals have already caused an important addition to the amount of bullion held there. Yesterday about 5,0001. was sold to the authorities, and in the course of a few days some further parcels will be similarly disposed of, as the Continental demand is now very much con tracted. The Stebonheath with about 21,0001. has arrived from Australia, and some of the other ves sels, so anxiously awaited, will no doubt soon make their appearance. It is calculated that nearly half a million sterling is now near at hand from Am tralia. The steamer Magdelena, for the West Indies, will take out 35,2761. in specie to-day, and about 50,0001. will be transmitted to the Cape by the Armenian. In consequence of the large influx of specie, and the numerous additions lately made to the stock of bullion in the Threadneedle-street vaults, it was expected that a further decline of per cent. in the min'mutn rate of interest and discount would have been announced to-day. Afr.er a long discussion, however, the directors determined not to make any alteration at present, and it is therefore assumed that the reserve of notes has not increased in pro portion to the Bullion, or that the amount of " other securities" is too large to Satur day, payments justify an immediate exten s i on o f l oan an d discountthe 4th of operations.the month,The and the large for now having to be made, as usual at the end of the quarter, have no doubt induced the authorities to observe great caution, but in a few days, when the commercial bills are met, and the future scale of specie e shipments is more clearly defined their position may be sufficiently improved to enable them to make a further concession. Notwithstanding the rate still remains at 6 per cent., there is reason to believe that the next Bank return, to appear on Saturday morning, will exhibit some favourable results, as the tendency is still towards improvement. Next week the dividend payments will commence, the following notice having been issued : Bank of England, July 1, 1857. Notice is hereby given that the payment of the July dividends to the public will commence on Wed nesday, the Bth July. WM. SMEE, Chief Accountant. This distributionof dividends will, no doubt, tend to promote increased interest in the Money Market, although a large amount will have to be returned to the Bank in repayment of advances. In the English Stock Market the variation in prices has not been important. At one period more firmness was visible, but no permanent im provement was established, and since the separation of the Bank Directors the tone of the market has been rather flatter. Consols have been as high as 921 buyers, but they are now 921 sellers, for the opening they are 921 /. The New Three per Cents, are 921 ft, and the Reduced 928 1 1. Ex chequer Bills further improved, being ss. to Is. discount. Bank Stock is 213. Very few dealings are recorded in the 'Foreign Market, and the prices are general l y steady. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been 96, and the present quotation is 95196 k. The 4 per Cents. are 102, Russian 41 per Cents. 96k, and Sar dinian 89 1 i. Danish 5 per Cents. 1021.

North Western and Manchester, Sheffield and Lincoln advanced 5a..: South Western and North Eastern, York, 10s. ; and North Eastern, Berwick, 15s. - The other lines dealt in brought pi evious quotations. The French lines have been depressed, Eastern of Franc e hav e receded about ss. ; and Paris and Lyon s about 1 0s. The Canadian undertakings have also exhibited signs of weakness ; Grand Trunk having declined about lt. to 21., and Great Wester n about 1 0s., in the üb latter instance, owing in some measure to the p lication of the report of the C o mmittee of Inquiry, at Toronto.

The half-yearly part was placed before us yesterday, and it contains a complete record of every meeting—whether " legitimate" or otherwise—that has taken place this year in England, Ireland, and Scotland. A work which contains a complete calendar of flat racing and steeple chasing was never before published, and Mr Feist has supplied a want experienced by every person interested in turf pursuits. The typographical arrangement is un exceptionable, and the copious index affords the means of a ready reference. It is the most complete racing oslen , dar published, and no sporting man should be without it. ROYAL SURREY GARDENS. M. Jullien's concerts, under his own direction, are interrupted for a time by his departure on a three weeks' tour in the provinces. He has, as a compensation for kie absence, engaged the military band of the Guides of the King of the Belgians, having obtained his Majesty's gracious permission to that elf, ct. Their engagement, he announces, is from the Ist of July to th e 2l a t , w h en b ia e u l xrti remem bered em he returns from the provinces. The performa nce of this band formed the novel fea ture of last evening's concert. It is a magn ifi cent corps, very similar in strength and q uali ty t ) the French band whose b performances at the ared by many of our Crystalo f At the t the GuidesP l concert acwm iP will o r f a m usical readers. night this band performed %Veber's overture to " Oberon," an operatic from Verdi's "Jerusalem," arranged by M. Bender, Weber's Invite. tion a la Valse, Meyerbeer s Grand Flambeau March, and Rossini's Overture to "Guillaume Tell." There was also a " Caprice et Theme," composed by M. Bender, Iwitk solos for the principal instruments. These pisces fully displayed all the various po, ers of this superb band, especially the overture to "Oberon," whisk is a work of immense difficulty even for the regular orchestra for which it is written. Its performance by this band of wind instruments was certainly the most marvellous thing of the kind we have ever listened to. The tints was taken with greater rapidity than usual, but did not in the least impair the clearness and precision of the execution. Not a single point was lost —every accent, inflexion, and gradation of tone was distinctly ald beau tifully marked ; and the force and impetuosity, the sweet airs and rich harmonies which are mingled in this glori. ous composition, were given as finely as could have been done by the orchestras of the Royal Italian Opera or the Philharmonic Society. The audience were delighted, and applauded most enthusiastically, R OYA L AM2IIII7IIBA7'RE.—Lot n i g ht was pro d uce d, time in Liverpool, a d rama b y the au th or o f "Janet entitled the " Will ow Copse, " a ff or di ng fW'ebthsteer6rritdt,rBßede7ord, and Wri g ht f u ll scope f or th e i r pecu liar powe rs ; and giving to Miss Page, Mrs. Power, an d other members of the company an opportunity o f a dding to the good name they have already succeeded in establishing.
