MO Nii2:lY EC A :K E AND COMMERCIAL INTELLTGENC7. CITY, Two o'CLooK. Accounts from Liverpool state that the Cotton market on Saturday closed quietly, but at full prices for all descriptions. The sales were esti mated at 5,000 bales, 700 of which were.taken for export and on speculation. The Railway Share market closed firmly, and a good business was transacted at advanced prices. The advices from New York, to-day, mention that the demand for money continued active, and the last weekly return from the City Banks showed a further extension of their loans and discounts. The I,•radenhall-street authorities have made a further advance of 2 per cent. for Bills drawn - upon the Three Presidencies, which will have the effect of stimulating the drain of specie from this side, already so rapid as to threaten a serious de clension of the Bank's stock of bullion. Within a few days upwards of 400,0001. has been sent away from that establishment, chiefly to the Con tinent to pay for purchases of silver. If this efflux Continues the directors will soon be compelled to increase the rate of discount or adopt other pro tective measures. Occurring, as this movement bas, at a time when the demand for money has increased in consequence of Stock Exchange settlements, and the preparations for the 4th, viz., to-morrow, an apprehension has been aroused, that the improvement lately noticed' in financial affairs has received a decided check, while many in their disappointment predict a return of stringency and pressure. The amount of silver on board the Ripon for immediate despatch to the East, as will be seen by the subjoined particulars, amounts to 1,012,9631., and it is impossible that the bi monthly exports can be sustained at that rate, without causing considerable inconvenience. The supply of silver without recourse to the Continent is quite inadequate to the wants of shippers, and the result is, that not only may all the gold we receive from America and Australia be absorbed, but tire amount of the precious metals at the Brnk must be further sensibly diminished. The following are the particulars of the specie on board the Ripon : Bombay (silver) ........... Ceylon (gold) Madras (lold) Madras (silver) Calcutta (silver) Penang (si'vcr) 1,020 Singapore (silver) 22,410 Do. (gold) Hong Kong (=dyer) 64 418 Shanghai (silver) T0ta1......... £1.012,9G3 To-day the following arrivals of specie have been announced, viz., about 280,5001., per Arabia, from New York ; 433,8721., per Parana, from Mexico ; and nearly 4,0001., per Sultan, from the Penin sula, making a total of about 720,0001. There is an increased demand for money, and the market is temporarily rather tight, owing to the arrangements for to-morrow the 4th of the Month. At the commencement of business this morning the funds appeared heavy and drooping, as the !tumour that Delhi had succumbed is still without the slightest corroboration. Since then a decline of about per cent. has occurred, owing to renewed sales, the Bears being encouraged to continue their operations. On Saturday there was a good deal of excitement, and the speculators for a fall bought back very freely, and this caused an ad vance, but now, further sales are made, which have occasioned a slight reactionary movement. Consols for transfer have been 00i and 90 3 / 4 b. For the 6th instant, they have been at similar quo tations. They are now 90'1 sellers for Thursday next, and 91i for September. The New 3 per Cents, are about 91 to 91k, and the Reduced 901 to 913. India Bonds are 225. dis., and Exchequer Bills 4s. to Is. dis., being firmer. In the Foreign Market there have been few dealings. Turkish 6 per Cents., are about 941 ; Russian have been 111 k ; do. 4 3 / 4 per Cents., 98 Dutch 21 per Cents., 64; and do. 4 per Cents. 981. The Ecuadorian Commission have received 6 99,1391. for the dividend. The following are, the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :•—Grenada hjeferred Bonds. 6 ; Mexican, 22# ; Peruvian 41 per Cents. 81 82 ; ditto 3 per Cents. 55 56 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 45i 463 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 110 12 ; ditto 4i per Cents., 98 100 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 391 40i ; ditto Certificates, 51 H ; ditto Passive, 5} An extremely limited business has been trans acted in the Railway Share Market this morning, and prices generally show a downward tendency. Great Westetn and North British have declined ss. Midland, Manchester, Sheffield and Lincoln 109., and North-Western 10s. North-Eastern Berwick have improved about 10s. In the Foreign and Co lonial lines very little variation can be quoted in values. Northern of France have improved t• 34. East Indian. declined 55., and Great Western of Canada ss. Grand Trunk of Canada Great Indian Peninsular and one or two others realised about previous rates. No business of any importance has been transacted on mining shares. Great Wheel Vor brought 3 . 2. Joint Stock Bank and Miacellaneous Shares are very inactive.

I CORN :?CHANGE. Most of the large counry markets 11(31,1 on Saturday were steady for wheat, tnd previous quota , ,ions were rather exceeded. BarkY,and most other kinds of pro duce, realised full prices. Very favourable accouns continue to arrive on the sub ject of the harvest, and th weather is very fine for wheat cutting. The Continental Market have been fairly supplied with wheat, in which a full ay:rage business has been trans acted at previous rates. Ii the United States scarcely any business has of late been tausacted on English account. An unusually small supily of old English wheat was re ceived fresh up to our maket to-day; but thfra were on offer about 1,250 quarters )f new from Essex and Kent in excellent condition. As th, millers continue short of stock, and as the show of sampls was trifling, the demand for all kinds ruled steady at pices fully equal to those realised on Monday last. The quantity cf Englsh wheat yet thrashed out is small ; hut a large arrivalis expected next week. We were well supplied ivith nearly all kinds of foreign wheat. Fine dry qualitin sold at full currencies, but the demand for them was by to means active. Inferior sam ples were held at full pricis. In floating cargoes of grain, very little was doing. A few samples of new birley were on offer, and the show of foreign was moderatelygood. The trade was far from active, but no change took place in value. ..., , Malt was in fair request, but not dearer. Very few home-grown fats were on sale. The oat trade ruled stew ly, at last week's prices. For beans, we had onl , a moderato inquiry, at late rates. New peas were on sale, but they commanded very little attention. Old qualities vere steady in price. The flour trade ruled steady. In prices no change took place. The show of foreign was small. CURRENCY PEt IMPERIAL MEASURE.

CompAred with Monday last, there was a decided in crease in the arrivals of beasts from our own grazing dis tricts, and the general condition of the stock exhibited a marked improvement. The attendance of buyers was tolerably good, yet the beef trade ruled heavy. Prises gave way 2d per 81bs, and a total clearance was not effected. It must be understood that 4s 6d per Blbs was the extreme value of the best Scots. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 750 Scots and short horns ; from the north, 1,400 short horns ; from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 43 Scots. We were seasonably well supplied with nearly all breeds of sheep, but a large portion was in very middling condi tion. The mutton trade ruled less active than last week, yet the value of the primest Downs and half-breds was well supported. Other breeds ruled heavy, at barely sta tianary prices. The show of lambs was tolerably good. On the whole, the trade ruled steady, but far from active, at last week's currency. The top quotation was 6s 4d per 81bs. The supply of both English and foreign calves was ex tensive, and the veal trade ruled heavy, at a decline in value of fully 2d per 81b1.

Blackwood. ---It may seem needless to say that the chief attraction' among the contents of this ma gazine is its firet `•article, "What will he do with it 1" Even at this early stage, the story displays great power, and possesses a considerable inti.rt st, witheut at all aiming at that rrecocious develop ment, or exhibieine that marvellous show of strength, which so often proves fatal to the am bitious novelist. Here we can trace the master mind that has planned the movement, and the master-hand that has direc'ed its course, but all bears the stamp of genius, in its highest flight of art, to paint nature. In this passage of the narra tivemeomnig_ we are introduced to Guy Darrell, a grand mankindmeaii. par in history, i a s 918-tuisrt:drlyy, makeasll is p t i t; o e t i r ot character, and one evidently destined te' play no yp es name a s tient, if not their careers immortal. It is a fine subject to dwell upon, that of the meeting between the two relations—the Haughton and the Darrell. They differed in age, temperament, and endow ments their worldly fortunes were very various,but there was one point on which they met—a kindred feeling, a congenial sympathy. Guy Darrell felt, although apparently, of adamant, or, as his satellite Fairthorn expressed it, of gra nite. From this latter personage, hirn4f a picture of quaint manners and peculiar st) le, Lionel learnt the his'ory of the families. Dar rell was the head et both houses, a worthy chief indeed, although some deep sorrow had impresse I itself upon him, and curbed his career which seemed fated to lush as a war-horse to victory. What that overcoming trial wi:s is as yet a mystery, we are only told that " he to whom the bar htd destined its highest honours, to whom the senate h ad.aeco rde its most rapturous cheers; abruptly subsided into a listless recluse." It is only natural to suppose a youth like Lionel being attracted and charmed by his kinsman, the interest thus inspired could not bc exactly explained by set terms, or defined phrases. " There are human faces, which independently of mere physical beauty, charm and enthral us more than the ' most perfect lineaments which Greek sculptor ever lent to a marble face :—there are key notes in the thrilling human voice, simply uttered wbich can haunt the heart, rouse the passions, lull rampant multitudes, shake into dust the thrones of guarded kings, and effect more wonders than over yet have been wrought by the m'st artful chorus or +be - eleftc'b eleill; m'ea few details 5;e - c" of the " still'd life" lel at F a wley, are decisive in their graphic touches — may show us the hermit man of the world, the re tired gentleman ; but the genius is held in abey ance, not extinct—it : is dormant, not buried—and all things around him give promise of a time when he shall again be master of his position. The divine right of youth to have freedom of thought, before sin or sorrow has stained the past or gloomed the future, is dwelt upon. While truly declaring that never in reality (Ices a man for ever mourn and "fol low the hearse of his hopes with the long face of an undertaker," but that the great evil is he is stranded on the present. While youth, like Lionel's, can look on all, "For him no rebels in the past conspired with poison in the wine cup, murder to the sleep. No deserts in the future arresting the march of ambition, said—" Here are sands for a pilgrim , not fields for a conqueror." From these partial glimpses enough will have been sten to convince the reader that here he will gather a rich harvest of intellectual toil, and feast on the spoils that were won in no sham fight. The friendly tie be tween the kinsmen seems to strengthen as the time approaches for their separation. The life of Sir Charles J. Napier is most interesting and in structive. It is strange that the volumes on his career should have appeared almost simultaneously with the events that direct particular attention to the land which was the theatre of his exploits, and the centre of his thoughts. It is said that Charles Napier was ever ready for the opportunity. "He was the strong man armed—the go9d knight with his sword loose in the sheath, his harness bright, and his heart full strung, ever ready and able." The writer then goes through briefly the detail of the events which occurred after Charles Napier had arrived in the " land of ancient tradition and glo rious history." He describes in glowing words the warrior's victories. " The mind goes back to the hero—deeds of all time for parallels. Napier's forces consisted of 2,800, he was informed the enemy mustered 20,000 or 30,000. He exclaimed —" Let them be sixty or a hundred thousand, I will fight." It was this spirit which animated those under his command, while it fired himself, and its works were manifested when the British troops won the field of Meeanee, and the British flag waved from the towers of Hydrabad. In dwelling on these records the reader will exclaim— " Oh, may his spirit still our hosts pervade." In commenting on the further attainments of the here, the writer laments that he should so often have allowed himself to be carried away by his hasty temper, and excitement of manner, but he remarks that his biographer is sill more injudicious, " thrusting thorns among his laurels, and planting his grave with briers instead of immortelles." This admirable article is concluded with these remarks— " The English people will still be faithful to the me mory of the good soldier, will do honour to the happy warrior— ' Whose high endeavours were an inward light, That made the path before him always bright ; Who, doom'd to go in company with pain, • And fear and bloodshed, miserable train, Turns his necessity to glorious gain ; In face of these doth exercise a power Which is our human nature's highest dower ' and, looking on th eir deeds, will breathe the wish that it may be long ere the race of Napier be ex inct, and that men may be long forthcoming from them to write histories and fight battles." " North, on Homer" contains a review of the pro fessors's essay, and declares he is the ablest and best exponent of Homer of the present, if not of the living generation. "Scenes of Clerical Life" pursues the subject before commenced of Janet Dempster. It relates the religions intolerance and party spirit that excited the town of Millby. " Manchester Exhibition of Alt Treasures" will b 3 welcome to those who desire an elaborate and inteligent survey of pictures. The article is principally devoted to the considera tion of Turner and his works. "New Sea-Side Studies" presents an accoulit of Jersey, which is called "The Paradise of Farmers," and also affords details of curiosities which will interest the na turalist. " Afoot" is an amusing sketch of ad ventures and misadventures met with in a tour of travels. Portugal is the country here treated of, and some of the descriptions are attractive. The whole is written in a light and easy style suitable to what professes to be a vignette or sketch, not a narrative or history. Dublin.—This number presents a considerable variety to the reader. The Cardinal Treaties of Mediaeval and Modern History aro continued ; the subject now selected is the " Peace of Carlowitz, 1699." The account given is particularly interest ing. It is a curious fact, says the writer, that so many should have laid such stress on the Ottoman power beinE represented at the Congress at Paris, when " this imagined diplomatic pheno menon is more than a century awl a half old." It was at Carlowitz that this event first took place. Further on, the writer traces the fortunes of the Ottoman empire from its culminating point of glory to its atter decline. In the time of Solyman, who was styled the Lord of big age, the Turkish dominions comprised nearly all the most celebrated cities of biblical and classical history, the empire being more than forty thousand square miles. Turkey had to make many sacrifices at Carlowitz. Those who are too much occupied to explore de tailed histories of the past will find it profitable to peruse this resume of events, which brings the most important points to light, and conveys on tho whole a fair idea of what should be understood by all. " Matter of fact and matter of fiction" is worthy of attention as it contains some very just strictures on the faults and follies of authors. It is truly asked, Why are the epithets " like a man in a play," " like an incident in a novel," the na tural phrases by which unlikely words and things are described. " Shamil at Home," affords some r emarkable details concerning the hero of the Cau casus ; they are principally derived from the accounts furnished by two Georgian princesses who were his prisoners ; an exchange was finally effected between them and the son of Shamil, who was also a captive in Russia.'? "My Sister's Husband" is a most melancholy story. The tale of the " Partner's" is not continued in this im pression, which many will doubtless regret. " Madame de Sable, and the Salons of her time" will repay perusal, as conveying knowledge of an important time and singular characters. One of the writers of the seventeenth century remarks " One feels astonished at the number of women re markable for courage, vigour of mind, and force of character which this age produced." All the chief ladies of the time are here introduced, and it is especially interesting to notice the distinctive peculiarities of individuals, the tone they infused into the circles they gathered round them, how genius grew inspired in the light of their favour, and wit developed its keenest powers under their fostering influence. Madame de Maintenon is the last in the history of the heroines. " Four Irish Bards" are chronicled, the most important of who m is Th tweomas Dermody, who died at the early age of seven. With With the gifts of genius, however, he in herited its dra.w . : - )acks, and he presents no model to admire.

"The Caste of Dublin" offers its summary of event. It it now brought down to the time whAl the Eirl of Kildare was appointed Viceroy by Henry the Seventh. The paper on the "Indian Mutiny" will be accTtable at this juncture. It enters fully into tha question, and suggests some plans for the adjustment of the diffi culties with which the subject is involved. Fraser.—" Our past, present, and future policy in Persia," comes un 'er review in the first artii le of Fraser. The writ:r observes the, however un satisfactory many may have considered the terms of the peace Moly conclude!' with Persia, few will deny that under the present aspect of Asiatic af fairs it has been very opportune. The writer takes a brief review of Persian politics, and concludes by strongly recommending that no uncalled-for con cessions be made to a Governm like that of the Shah, which, in the present state of our Indian empire, would certainly misconstrue any untimely forbe traire into signs of weakness and alarm. " High and Low Latitudes" is the title of a plea sant paper on two recent travellers' tales. Lord Dufferiii's Le tars from Ili 4 h Latitudes afford some amusing glitnpres of Icelandic life and Arctic amateur voya g ing. The excursion to the Island of Jun Mayen attempted by the French steam vessels and the Eugli , h yacht with such very different re sults, shows in sufficiently strong contrast the re lative value of a courageous leader and an attend ant squadron. It must, however, be admitted, with the critic, that the adventurers appear to have run great risk for no equivalent object. The otht r work of travels alluded to is Lady Falkland's plea sant basket of Chow-chow. A criticism on the Opera companies is rather severe, though some of its observations are just. A brief notice of the late Rev. Chas. Badham rendursatributo to a valued contributor to the pages of Fraser's Magazine. Indian affairs, which are now justly regarded as the subject ,of paramount importance, furnish the topics of two papers. The first, on the Indian Army, takes a review of its consbitution; and offers some suggestions worthy of consideration ; the other is a, briefer paper on the supposed crisis of the mutinies,"'Tiro Interpreter, • a tale of the war, by the eleVer author of "Thgby Grand," is con tinued ivith interest; rrrn-present4netaimens, lates an accidental explanation between the hero and heroine, owing to a mistake in a masquerade ' • the hero's subsequent departure for the Eas t, and his entrance into a Turkish establishment under the of I. device of a " hakina ;" and we are also told of the death of the old baronet, and the marriage of the fair Constance to Count de Rohan. The story, it will be seen, proceeds more in accordance with the realities of life than with the exigencies of romance. The interesting memoir of George Ste• phenson recently published furnishes the subject of an article on his life and inventions, which will well repay perusal. It gives a concise account of his life and struggles, the difficulties through which he forced his way, the opposition and abuse his plans encountered, and the clear intellect and un flinching perseverance that bore him triumpt antly through all. His integrity and kindness of heart add not a little to the qualities that rendered his name distinguished. His character, his biogra pher remarks, exhibits a striking combination of those sterling qualities which we are proud to re gard as essentially English. A third paper on Deer brings that division of the series to a close. " English Social Life from the Thirteenth to the Sixteenth Centuries," is the title of an article on the Plumpton correspondence, which gives us some domestic details of the middle ages. The letters are curious as samples of the formality of the most familiar correspondence of those days. A retrospect of the session of 1857 takes a fair and moderate view of the position of political measures and parties. Bentley's Miscellany—Bentley opens with an in teresting paper on the Revolution of 1830, founded on a French work that has recently appeared, en titled " Ilistoire du Regne de Louis Philippe I." There is not much novelty in it, but it will afford a useful outline to those who have forgotten the causes or incidents of the commotion. Dudley Costello's story of " The Millionaire of Mincing lane," proceeds in its usual strain, without any striking events. " Life at the French watering places" describes the maritime retreats of our con tinental neighbours without much liveliness or in terest. Monkshood continues his "Retrospective Reviewals," and gives us the first notice of Nar cissus Luttrell's diary. This work has lately been pr nied at the University Press, in six ♦olumes, offering much valualde information to the curious, though the extent of the work renders it more use ful as a book of reference than attractive to the generallreader. The critic comments on the singu lar insignificance which pros rues Luttrell himself. Most of the old diary writers, he observes. take care to write Me and Mine with a capital M, in the spirit, if not in the letter, they identifg_themselves with their chronicles, and leave quitb as vivid au impre , sion of their own sayings and doings on the realer's mind as those of any celebrity they treat of. Narcissus Luttrell, on the contrary, is contented with keeping a bare record of facts, the news of each day, without giving his opinions even, but with characteristic caution constantly adding, in parenthesis, "as is reported." " A Midnight Dream," by the author of " The Redcourt Farm," is the continuation of the story of Mr. Castanel, under another title. Tho readers of this tale will not be surprised to learn that the third bride of the surgeon dies suddenly in the same mysterious manner as her predecessors. Mr. Castonel is cer tainly a fictitious rival to Palmer, for the author has now indirectly laid six or seven deaths at his door. The next instalment will probably relate to the discovery and punishment of the criminal. The life of an architect is continued ; and Mr. Grin sted's Gallery of Theatrical portraits shows us a ' pleasing likeness of the life and successes of Charles Kean. The United Service Magazine. —This magazine has its usual amount of sensible and well written articles on topics both naval and military, which in the present state of affairs are those of chief im portance. " The Mutiny in India," of course, is the subject of a conspicuous article, in which the writer dues not take an encouraging view of the matter. Indeed, his anticipations are scarcely jus tified by the latest intelligence, though it is always wise, w hile anticipating the best, to prepare for the worst.' A paper entitled, " Wanted, a Harbour of Refuge," arrives at the conclusion that there is a great deficiency on our north-east coast, and after giving the cage a careful consideration, asserts that there should be at least three deep water ports on t'lis coast—one at Redcar, one near the Tyne, and one at Runswick, to the north of Whitby. In the gale of the 4th of January last 94 vessels wont down, and 169 seamen were drowned within sixty miles of the Tyne, only a few being wrecked near the port itself, the residue either going ashore or foundering in the bight formed by the coasts of Nor thumberland, Durham, and the North Riding of Yorkshire. It is at this spot that Redcar is situated. The wciter therefore argues that had there been an asylum harbour in existence there, the greatest number of these vessels might have been saved, the Tyne being to windward of nearly all the ships hovering on the coast, while Redcar was easy of access. Atter this important subject we meet with an article of some length, entitled "Society in Bom bsy and the Native Tribes," chiefly founded on Lady Falkland's entertaining volumes. " A Paper on Japan" is interesting from its novelty, so little being known or written of that singular Empire. The details of its history and its customs are equally curious. The Dutch, it is known, aro the only foreigners with whom they will trade, and they have established a factory at Dezima, the island to which Europeans are restricted, that they may be watched. They are forced to submit to such a number of arbitrary rules and restrictions , that the writer remarks they must find the trade with Japan very profitable, since they submit to them. Th . ! ! Duteh, however, are not celebrated forged great quickness of nerve, nor are they troubled with any inconvenient bility, and they much require all t t h h e ei J r a panese, who stolidity in their dealings with degr eeuPP° characteristico f se Dsi d tlonopthene reign of Charles IL the treat them with the greates.st_ caotntetemmp-ptet. t e - a trade with Japan, he but Japanesethe princess.

Among the latter there is a note from Lieut enant -Colonel Parkinson, suggesting the substitution of palm oil for the lard that has been made as excuse for some of the late atrocities iu India. The National Rev iew. —The table of contents this quarter is unusually attractive. It is beaded by a criticism on Mr. Lever's novels, which, like most comprehensive crit'cisms, has many interesting points. " The Receut Researches in Central Africa" afford the subject of the following paper, which contains much valuable information respect ing a part of the world of which very lit t le is kuown. It possesses the unusual assistance of a map. "London Street Architecture," and "The two Alleged Non-existence of Shakspeare," sensible p b a i pers . , a . i d nde l ed t it is fu w w or t t e th a e sso tr r a o t r i ue to o f f any 501151 0 111 I\ 7 l 115 0 re the anti-Shalisperians. After a long and elaborate treatise en " The Theori▪ es of Baiur and others on the Four,h Gospel," we come to two memoirs, of Miss Bronte and Lord Brougham. They are both full of interest in their opposite ways, as might be gathered from their snipp▪ ets, different as they are. "The Manchester Exhibition" receives a cordial tribute, and the "University of London and Middle-Class Education" are brought under careful consideration. A treatise on " The New Pail ia - ment" concludes a very superior number of the quarterly. The New Quarterly—Has a comprehens;ve and attractive table of content 3. It devotes itse'f, as is well known, exclusively to criticism, and in that department it occasionally displays much ablity. The present number, as a whole, is a superior one ; its subjects are varied and numerous, and meet with moderation and cmirteiy, though occasionally wi , h keen and penetratit:g criticism. Travels, poems, hiAory, novels, memoirs, and political woks ar3 all passed under 7 eview, and those who wish to form a general acquaintance withth.t Uteri - titre of the quarter will do well to consult its en tertaining The Journal of Agriculture —Th;s journal has its u°ual alumni!: of practical agricultural information, together with its summary f,r the quarter and tt:e regular agricultural statistu s. The transactions of the Highlatal and Agricultural Society of Scotland, are given at length and inc'ucle some important subjects, among them the preservation of timber. It is not, naturally, attractive to the general reader, not being designed . 0 afford entertainment, but it is well calculated to give sound practical advice to the practical firmer, and to reduce scientific prin. ciples to a plain and timple form. The journal of Psychological Medicine and Mental Pathology. —This quarterly treats . of its charac teristic subjects in its usual clear and forcible style. At the present time when attention has been so recently directed to the maladministration Of lunatic asylums in Scothnd, the treatment of the insane has been again trought tinder discus sion, though happily there n iw exists but one opi nion as to the method to be pursued towards these afflicted fellow-creatures.. The state of lunacy in Scotland naturally forms the topic of an article, and there are others which are nut unsuited to the consideration of unprofessional reAders. The in lino/lee of neglected brain diiease on suicide, and the increase of insanity, are subjects aita,fr , o t fail to force themselves on tne attention of the thoughtful. They convey another of the numerous warnings around us on the fatal error of slighting the laws of Nature and Reason by maintaining what is justly termed the high pressure tiyStern, which as surely in the human constitution ,as in the steam engine leads to destruction and ruin. The asylums of Italy, [Germany, and France are described with minuteness and precision, and their systems may be usefully compared with our own. The usual statistics of lunacy and its asylums are given. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.) MARLBOROUGH -STREET. ----- DESPERATE ABSAULT--JaneLlawltyn, a young female of short statue, but who possessed a pugilistic propensity, was charged, before Mr. Beadoa, with violently assault ing Mr. J. Bowles, a licensed victualler, carrying on business at No. 24, Greek-street, Soho. The complainant stated that, about 9 o'clock on Sa turday night, the prisoner came to the bar and asked for some gin. He refused to serve her as she was intoxicated. She then began to be very abusive, and upon being told to go away, she struck him. He was then compelled to eject her. Upon his making this attempt she struck and bit his leg. He got her out, and was obliged tO close the door. As she became more violent, he was obliged to vend for the police. Polme-constable Redman, 114 C, stated that when be tome up he found the prisoner on the pavement. He took her into custody, upon which she struck and bit him. She then knocked him down upon the pavement and was so violent that it required the efforts of four constables to carry her to the station house. Mr. Beadon asked if the print ner was known. Inspector Burnett said that she was an unfortunate female, and was a most incorrigible character. She has often bees charged at this court. Prisoner, upon hearing this statement, exclaimed, " Yon shall have it the next time I meet you." It further appeared that at the police station she knocked down two policemen. She was sent for one month with hard labour to the House of Correction. The prisoner left the court vowing vengeance against the prosecutor and the constable. FISHMONGERS' HALL. The anniversary festival of the Fishmongers'Company was held on Saturday, the Ist of August, being the day on which the coat and badge given by Thomas Doggett, the famous comedian, in commemoration of the accession of the family of her present Majesty to the throne of these realms, was rowed for by six young watermer, Mr. Graham, Prime Warden, took the chair, and was supported by a very large company, among whom were Lord Brougham, Lord J. Russell, Mr. Vernon Smith, Sir Benjamin Hall, Mr. Robort Lowe, Maj 11-General Sir W. F. Williams, Bart., M.P., Lieutenant-Colonel Teesdale, Admiral Bowles, Sir It. Ferguson, M.P., M.P., & C . Aft er th e c l o th had been the usual loy a l t oas t s h a d b een d ru nk, removedM r . Cra Crawford, d , the Prime Warden proposed "The Army and the Navy," when General Sir W. F. Williams returned thanks for the army, and said he exulted at the manner in which a comparative handful of British soldiers were holding possession of India against thousands of disaf fected native troops. Mr. V. Smith acknowledged the toast of "The health of her Majesty's Ministers." It was true that Lord Palmerston had successful y piloted the country through a great emergency to a satisfactory and he holm' a permanent peace ; her Majesty's Mi nisters again felt themselves amid difficulties not of their own making, but which bad arisen from a frantic and sudden outbreak in that part of our do minions in which it was the least expected. But what were Ministers for if it were not to meet diffi culties? (Cheers.) In tire.) they might yet look for reorganization, but for the present they must only hope that this nation would make every effort to assist the Government in getting through the crisis. Advice they had more than enough, Heaven knew, from all quarters, but at the present moment support was the one thing needful. (Hear.) For him - elf, he felt that the task imposed upon him was one of no ordinary cha meter, but he remembered that he had been brought up at the feet of Henry Brougham and John Russell, and he entertained a reasonable confidence as to the re sult. (Hear, hear, and cheers.) The next toast was "The Houses of Lords and Commons." Lord Brougham, in acknowledging the toast fur the Lords, observed that other countries might do without a second Chamber, but in this country nothing would supersede the old English constitution of three estates in the estimae tion of the people. There were two things with which all men were very generous—other people's money and their own advice. His right hon. friend seemed to have suffered more under the second than the first infliction. Let them hope, however, that those who had been so generous with their advice would not be hoe liberal with their money. (Cheers.) There was one point in which they might advantageously taken a lesson from their neighbours in France. He uniformly found in that country that if a worthy and distinguished candidate were defeated in one department other places imme diately offered him a seat, but that unhappily was not the case in England. Lord John Russell. in the course of his speech in returning thank s, adverted hanks, adverted to the system of carrying o n elections in this country, and observed that, although it was to be regretted that so distinguishe d a . man as the Vice- President of the Board of Trade should have been the victim of popular excess, still he yould rather see th,t excess of free elections than have the mode pursued in France adopted in this country.. (Head bear.) They could not have free elections without a good deal of abuse, and he would rather have tke Eogli than eeyisatbelme toof be denounced by th e Prefect of the Thames comp l e t e freedom, with a l i tt l e a buse , as unfit to sit in Parliament. (Cheers.)„. The health of th e Prime arden having been drunk, the company retired to the drawing-room. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.) LONDON, Aag.

Three unfortunate men were suddenly deprived of life, and about a dozen others were wounded and injured with more or less severity. The catastrophe was caused by nu explosion of one of the great boilers.
