fir rlb wt rff.ABAET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCZ. CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Yesterday having been observed as a strict holi day the Liverpool Cotton and Share markets were closed. The position of financial affairs, on the Continent generally, appears very unsettled, and the tendency in most of the principal cities is in the direction of increased stringency. A complaint is made of the scarcity of coin, and as the requirements of trade, public works, (4.7 c., are large and continuous, consi derable pressure and inconvenience were experi enced. This naturally repressed business, and on the several Bourses speculative securities were at reduced values. In Paris even, where symptoms of improvement were lately visible, a retrograde movement has re-commenced, although a hope is indulged that the Bank will soon be enabled to lower the terms of discount. This general strin gency must have some influence here, where mone tary affairs are already rather disturbed, through the unceasing demand for accommodation and gold for the purposes of exportation. The Indus from Alexandria has arrived, with the following specie freight : Ex. European. „ Columbian. From Alexandria . £53,977 325,570 5,816 Total Owing to the activity of the Continental demand it is believed that the greater part will be taken for transmission to France. During the next few days every movement of the precious metals will be nar rowly watched, because, if it continues unfavour able, increased discount restrictions may be antici pated. The rate of exchange at New York, ac cording to the advices brought by the Baltic, is still unfavourable-, viz., 106-7 ; so that large re mittances fromthisside areapprehended. Numerous orders are being sent out to effect purchases in secu rities at their present reduced quotations, while many of our merchants may be tempted to buy some of the stocks of goods warehoused there, which are also at depreciated values. Besides this, money will have to be forwarded for the insurance of the gold on board the Central America, and likewise on ac count of the Illinois Central and other railway companies. The meeting of the Great Western Railway of Canada has just taken place, and has passed off with unanimity. The report was taken as read, and the chairman, Mr. Gill, alluded to the forthcoming dividend being at the rate of G per cent. per annum, Which he thought very satisfactory. The arrange ment with the Cdnada Government was highly favourable. He alluded, in conclusion, to the propriety of their aiding the Detroit and Milwaukie Railway Company, which would so much increase the traffic on their line, to obtain their required loan, not exceeding 150,0001., for the completion of the works. The report was adopted after some discussion. The Funds have not been very materially in fluenced by the alteration in the rate of discount. At the commencement of business a decline of per cent, took place, but more firmness is now visible, and, as often occurs after an advance on the minimum, the tone of the market seems stronger. Consols are 891 for money and the 14th instant, and 90f4 for the 10th November. Exchequer Bills are Bs. to 4s. discount, and the Bonds 235. to 1.95. discount. Foreign Stocks were generally flatter. Turkish 6 per Cents. have declined to 94k and they are now at that quotation. The 4 per Cents. are 99?,. Business has been recorded as follows :—Brazilian 6 per Cents., 1001 2 - ; Mexican 3 per Cents., 201. 21; Peruvian 4i per Cents., 78i ; ditto 3 per Cents., 54f ; Sardinian 5 per Cents., 90 ; Spanish Deferred, 25k ; and Dutch 4 per Cents., 98k. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 51- 6 ; hlex- can, 20 } 7 3 . 211 ; Peruvian 4i per Cents., 78& 9i ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 44 3 / 4 5i ; Russian 5 per Cents., 109 11 ; ditto 41 1 per Cents., 971- 991 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 40i 41 ; ditto Deferred, 25i ; ditto Certificates, 5a ditto Passive, 51 6k.

COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Evans.) IN RE E. R, NASH.—JIMMIENT ON CERTIFICATE—SIIS• PENSION FOR TWa YEARS. This bankrupt had carried onbu iness as a wine mer• chant on College- ul , , and applied a few days since for his certificate, which was opposed, and after hearing arguments his honour took time to consider his judg ment, His Honour now said that the granting the certificate had been opposed on theniund that at the time he comtneuced business h e wa s iosolvent to a very large amount, which he did not disclose to the parties from whom he had obtained goods, and that he had Ex pended the procewls in the maintenance of himself, his wife, and fami'y. He (his Honour) could not discover that the bankrupt ever really intended to trade, and could not help thinking that his object was to obtain a discharge from his debts, by means of a certificate in bankruptcy. It 'vas a very bad case, the worst that had ever come before him, and he should have refused the cee.ificate altogether, except for the decision in the case ex pate Manley, 3 Da (hex, M, N, and G. The cases were the same in principle, and he should, therefore, suspend the certificate for two years without protection for six months. IN RE GOTCH AND GOTCII.-BINK FAILURE.

A STRANGE CASE.—A young roan, 18 years of age, named Yardley, was placed at the leer before Sir Peter Laurie, charged with stealing a watch from the person of railway porter, named Henry Stephens, residing in Cavendish -terrace, S mth Lembeth. A young man, named Welch, deposed that he was in St. Paul's-churchyard yesterday afternoon, when the civic procession was approaching St. Paul's. Whilst standing there he observed the prisoner and another man who was with him go up to the prosecutor and surround him, as it were, the prisoner having his hand under a bandkercbief near the prosecutor's waistcoat pocket. He saw him pass something to his companion, and when they left the prosecutor witntes saw his silver watch-guard hanging down without any watch to it. He spoke to the promeautor, and they went in search of the prisoner, and found him afterwards iu the crowd, when he was given into the custody of police-constable 167. The prosecutor deposed that he teas unconscious of being robbed till the last witnes s spike to him. On exaruking his watch guard, he found his watch had been stolen, the ring being left behind. The prisoner, in reply to the charge, said he WM in nocent, and that the witness Welch was mistaken in him. When he was apprehended he had a parcel in one hand and an umbrella in the other, so that it was im possible that he could have corntnit ed the robbery. The foreman in the machine department of Messrs. Bradbury and Evans, extensive printers, Whitefriars, came for ear," and sail that the prisoner was a respect able youth, and he considered the witness Welch was inimtaken in him. The prisoner left Messrs. Brad bury and Evans' premises by witness's permission about half past 2 o'clock yesterday afternoon to fetch an umbrella and mackintosh from Moorgate-street. The prisoner had been 18 months in Messrs. Bradbury and Evans' employ, and witness had a character with him from Mr Guugh'e, for whom the prisoner had worked previously. Mr. Martin --It is a very extraordinary thing, but your men often get into trouble. We have had one or two of them here lately. The Foreman said he could not account for it. His employers were the largest printers in the kingdom, and had to employ a great number of men and boys. lie had 50 boys in his department, and he believed there were upwards of 150 boys altogether employed on the establishment, if the prfsoner had not been a re spectacle youth and conducted himself with propriety he would not have remained so long in Messr-e Bradbury and Evans'e employ, and had his wages raised from 7s. to 12s. per week. Mr. - Martin (to Welch)—What time passed between your seeing the robbery and the prisoner's apprehension '1 Welch—About 20 minutes. Police-constable 167, stated that when he apprehended the prisoner he bad a mackintosh and umbrella in his band. On searching him he found Bd. , a key and a knife on his person. Sir Peter Laurie said it was a strange case. The pri soner would now see the advantage of a good character, for in consequence of what had been stated by Messrs. Bradbury and Evans's foreman he should discharge bun. The prisoner was accordingly discharged. MARLBOROUGH STREET'. RUFFIANLY ASSAULT UPON A LICENSED VICTUALLER. —Henry Judd was charged, before Mr. Bingham, with violently assaulting Mr. George Davies, landlord of the Coach and Horses Tavern, Conduit-street, Regent street. The prosecutor stated that on Tuesday evening he was called into the taproom, where he found the prisoner, who is a remarkably strong man, severely treating a poor unoffendine and man. Witness pulled the prisoner away, and desired him to leave the premises, which he refused to do. Complainant then gently tsok him by the arm, and led hitn ont of the room, and w soon as he got into the street he struck witness several times on the chest and face. Proseoutor re treated into his bar followed by the prisoner, who assailed him with a volley of the foulest abuse. This the complainant did not mind but when the prisoner followed up the abuse by Btriki:4 him again, he thought it was high time to put a stop to his pranks by giving him into custody. Tho prisoner, in defence, said he was drunk at the time or he should not have done it. Mr. Bingham said that was no excuse. Licensed victuallers must be protected in their business from the violence of such ruffians, and he should for this assault commit the prisoner for ten days to the louse of Cor rection.

Woolford came up, and having raised him from the ground, he said, "Now, you --, I'll show you a -- soldier's trick," and seizing witness by the hair he threw him down, and tripped up the other c onstable, assaulting and trying to bite them both, all the time making use of the worst language ever heard. Sewry then came up, and while endeavouring to get defendant up re ceived from him a violent kick in the mouth, the accused exclaiming, "Take that, you b--. Having got further assistance, the constables took him to the station, and he continued all the way to use bad lan guage, and to endeavour to asiwilt his captors. Richard Woolford and John Sewry corroborated the above, the former adding that defendant said he would kill some of them before they took him. The latter exhibited a large wound round his mouth, which t till caused him great pain, and be had since been disabled from duty. Defendant said that he was drunk, and had no re collection about the matter. uiane ad nim him a nimadverted e or d one mo It having been stat ed that t h e hate of No. 143 and 211 were broke to piece s by defendant, tdd rt, . c Paynter an upon his violant con stronglynth for the assaults, and 10s. or 14 days for the damage.

THAMES A TALE OF WOF.—A wretched-looking young wo man, 3 native of Suot l a n d , barefooted and bareheaded, and very lightly clad in garments saturated with lain, came before Mr. Selfe, and told he r pi t i a bl e ta l e, w hi c h excited much commiseration, The poor creature, who was shivering and very cold, said she was the daughter of a soldier who was killed at the battle of the Alma. She had b een emp l oye d f or some time at a factory, in Glasgow, an d t h e wor k be coining slack, she went to Manchester, b u t co uld not o b ta i n em ployment there, and wa lk e d to London.

AN UNNATURAL FATHER.—A journeyman carpenter, named Mesnil, of 45, lire St. Jacque, was on Saturday tried by the Tribunal of Correctional Police for ill-treat ing his son, aged eleven. It was proved that he had made a sort of box in , ahich h,, fai'e;:ed the chill's leg by means of a chain, elo;;e:i by a padlock, and eotupeled the poor boy to remain so for days together. Being unable to change his position, the poor c1,i13 Ruff :red greatly, and uttered loud cries. The neighbours at length corn phined to the police, and rescued the boy. Toe man admitted that he had confined the boy in a "little ma. chine," but said that he had done so because the child, being of a roving disposition, would not remain at home The tribunal sentenced the father to six mon• iropri s mment. The execution of four natives of Morocco, who in May last were tried and found guilty of the murder of th-• wife, two children, and the servant of a farmer, residing at La Senia, took place at on the 28th ult. at Oran. 0 the keeper of the prisoner informing them in the morn ing that their last hour had arrived, they heard the announcement with the most perfect calmness and sub 'pitted without a murmur to the last preparations. They each'before setting out for the place of execution asked for a cup of coffee, which was given them. They were csnveyed to the scaffold in a cart under an escort of gendarm aim, and as the crowd assernflecl amounted at least to 10,000 persons, it was deem e d n , cessary to sur round the scaffold with a cordon of troops The ctn. demned men ascended the steps with great firmness, and in a few seconds human justice was satisfi BOBBERY BY A COACHMAN.—A person of Vaugirard, who died a few days back, left a considerable r•um in money and securities, t gether with var i ous (ffects ; and, in order to afford time to ascertain his directions repecting the disposal of them, they were placed in a room which was sealed up. A coachman of Sceacx was nornisaed guardian of the seals and eequestrator. On Saturday it was disciivered that the seal. had been broken, and that the guardian had disappeared. Ile was at once sought for and was soon arrested. Oe being searched he was found to have placed beneath his arm-pit a small pocket-heok, and in this pocket book were a 4,0001. and 1001. note, four Victor Em manuel railway share's. a share of CA'.43,40 Generale des Chemins de Fer, a share of the Comptoir Genersi de la Bourse, and a security for 12,000 f. rents. The man was sent to the Prefecture, and there ordered for trial. RIOTING IN BORRISOKANE.—At the fair at Borrisokane on last Saturday, after the business of the day, the farm ing and labouring classes indulged to a great extent in drinking spirituous liquors, which was attended with the most disgraceful riots, and were it not for the unceasing exertions of a large police force, under Sob-inspector Healy, in arresting the priucipa's, the most serious consequences might have eventuated. The conetabu lary patrolled the town, which was greatly disturbed till late at night, and while supprev4ing a riot at eight o'clock Sub-constable Aiken was knocked down, kicked on the face, from the effects of which he bled profusely, and was so seriously injured that he is not yet pronounced out of danger by Dr. M'G►rvey, who was promptly on the spot and dressed his wounds. Sub-constable Dwyer also received injuries of the hand, but not of a serious nature. Head constable Aubrey arrested the principals, who were fighting in a most serious manner, and conveyed them with much difficulty to the barracks. A large number of persons were arrested during the day, and Mr. Sadleir, J.P., with Mr. Saunders, J. 1 3,, remained to a late hour of the night disposing of the several cases, some of which were remanded to the next petty sessions.—Nenag.k Guardian In the tobacco manufactory of M. Prmtorins at Berlin has just been constructed a machine for making cigars. It rolls 5,000 cigars a-day, and economii.ea both tobacco and manual labour. SWINDLING BY A LADY.—The polico have just re ceived information that, for some time past, an ele gantly-dressed young woman, carrying a splenidly bound prayer- h.mk, as if she had just returned from church, has been in the habit of going to the shops of mercers, lace-dealers and jewellers, and after inep cting goods with great care, giving orders in the name of the Marquise de Sainte Colombo, or the wife of a wealthy manufacturer of Amiens, or of other per sons, all of whom turned out not to exist ; she, on earth occasion, contriving to absttaot pieces of silk or lace, or articles of jewellery. The police escer tained that she had resided at an hotel in the Rae Notre-Dame des-Victoires, but disappeared a few days ago. Sho left a large trunk which she bad represented to contain works of art of great value, but it was found to have nothing in it but stones and straw. The pclice have also learned that a man, repre senting himself to be a comedian, has lately been swind ling theatrical performers pretty extensively on the pre text of raising a fund for the relief of a provincial actor_ named Verdier, who, be stated, had fallen into.distress, though no such person exists. A few days back, it ap pears, this swindler did a very impudent thing. A young actress to whom he appliei for a subscrip tion said, pulling out her puree, " I have only a piece of 201 r. you see, and I cannot afford to give that I" "Oh !" said the man, " — rwiltget you ohm gv !" and he snatched the coin from her hand, went off with it, and never returned. PRESENCR oP MIND.—The Norwalk (Connecticut) Gazette says—".on Satarday last a runaway hor,e rushed up Main-street in that town and ran into the New Canaan stage, in which there were. two ladies, a Mra. Raymond, with an infant in her arms, and Mrs. Huested, wife of the Rev. Mr. Huested, of the Methodist Church, with her three children and another Ia• 1. The collision started the stage horses at a furious speed with all its precious freight of frightened women and children. Mrs. Raymond jumped out with her child in her arms, but was struck on her back and head, and was very seriously, if not fatally injured. The child was unhurt. But Mrs. Huested, though a small, frail woman, had the courage and presence of mind needed in such an emergency. She did not jump, but with great difficulty kept the children from leaping or falling out, and finally made them lie down at the bottom of the stage. She then climbed forward, seized the reins, which were 'tied in front, and succeeded in so far controlling the fright ened steeds as to avoid collisions or overtures until they reached New-bridge, a distance of a mile and a-half, when she brought them to a stand. Her coolness, probably, alone saved all inside from severe injury, if not death. Scores of terrified citizens —some of them probably fathers and friends—pursued the 'atag,e, but could do nothing to assist its inmates. There probably bad not been so many blanched cheeks in Norwalk since the terrible railroad disaster as when these horses were seen tearing at such a furious speed with a stage filled with women and little children." ROBBERY BY A SOLDIER.—The Military Tribunal on Saturday tried a young soldier of the 2d regiment of the Imperial Guard, named Fvrard, for robbery. On the 3d August he went to the shop of M. Cohen, a money changer in the Rae Vivienne, and offered for sale some bonds, 12 in number he said, of the Western Rail way. The changer offered 3,0001. for them, and the man, in answer to his inquiry, represented that he was servant to a gentleman of 72, Rue Richelieu. M. Cohen said that he must pay the money at the gentleman's lodging?, and he taok his hat to go with him there. The man expressed a disinclina tion to go home, and begged for the money at once ; but Cohen would not love it, and they lett together. After going a short distance, the man said that he had changed his mind, and would not deli the bonds ; and he requested the money-changer to restore them. But the latter, who had begun to suspect that all was not right, refused to give them up, and on counting them he found that then) were 13, and not 12 ; this increased his suspicion, and he gave the man into custody. The man then sail that lie was no domestic, but a soldier and servant to Captain Dupont, of the 2J Regiment of the Guard, in garrison at Rued, and that he had found the bonds. It then turned out that the bonds belonged to an old lady named Chalvet, in whose house the captain lodged ; that she was accustomed, from fear of robbery, to carry them always about her, and to place them wrapped in a handkerchief under her pillow at night ; that she had iu the morning of the 3d August forgotten them there ; and that the prisoner had been able to steal them, because, in consequence of his being a quiet !young man, she had given him a small sum weekly to masse the bed for her. The tribunal c,n deinued the man to eleven months' imprisonment. THE FINANCIAL NECESSITIES Or TIIRKEY.—Under this head the Revue Contemporaine publishes a paper by M. Eugene Poujade, from which we glean the fol- lowing :—ln virtue of the Tanitnat, the inequality of taxation has almost entirely disappeared, the only difference still in existence resulting from the dif ferent periods at which the harvests are got in in that vast empire, and the different nature of the produce. There are also certain districts privi leged in consquence of treaties or otherwise, such as Moldavia and Wallachia, Servia, Egypt, the island of Samos, Mount Lebanon, and the merely nominal vassals, such as the Princes of Abyssinia, Yemen, Tunis, and Montenegro. With these exceptions, taxation is regu larly established everywhere as follows :-1. The land tax (verguioo, meaning donation), amounting to 51 per thousand of the value of the estates. 2. The ianei askeriyelt, or poll tax (formerly kharadj), txscted from those who are not Mussulmans, and not liable to serve in the army. This tax amounts to about 80 millions of piastres (about 20 millions of francs). 3. The Russoomat, or tithes, viz., the oche or corn tithe, the bcdelat or fruit, wine, cattle, and oil tithe (both these being due by all subjects_of the Porte without exception), the gum, rule, or customs duty, of 12 per cent, on exports a n d five per cent. on imports, and lastly, the .Russoomate mute ferriece or sundries, consisting of certain duties levied on passports, stamped paper, manufactures, ports, wharfs, &e. The sum total of the product: of all thesetaxes is perhaps inaccurately estimated at 220 millions of francs per annum. The public debt of Turkey is composed of the following items : amount of two loan., 200,000,0 0 0 francs ; paper money bearing interest. 60,000,00 W.; ditto not bearing interest, 76,000,000 f. ; debts of the arsenal, 16,000,0001. ; ditto of ropliana, 10,000,000 f. ; ditto of theseraskierate, 10,000,000 f. civil list of the Sultan, 40,000,000 f. ; sundries, resulting from war, &c., 80,000,000 francs. Total, 492,000,000 francs. This debt, M. Poujade says, is far from exor bitant compared with the resources of the empire. Mar metallic currency in circulation amounts to about 160,000,000 francs ; it does not clntain more than 45 per cent. of intrinsic value, and the balance of value therefore, constitutes an additional debt, which will bi fel , as soon as Turkey shall begin to substitute unalloyed coin for this base currency, which she will seon be obliged to do in order to establish her credit. The paper money being depreciated in proportion to the eoin, tilt Turkish Government will, in the event contemplated. have to reimburse it at its full value, an operation whicl, Will entail an additional loss of about 70,000,000 francs. ttvA:ness this dill 'estn.

The Montreal Oztean Steamship Company's steamer Indian, Jones commander, has arrived from Qu e b ec w i t h d ates to the 26th ult., 50 cabin, and 115 steerage passengers. The Indian experi enced cloudy an d tli4 c k , foggy weather, strong shail and rain. Oa the 25th, off the Pilgrims, passed, the ship Ailsa of Glasgow and China, and on the s ame d ay, off Hare Islands, the ship ispindola, of Portgrund, and the Montezuma, of Falmouth, all bound' up ; on the 27th spoke tt,t. Abi g ail, of Pool e , f rom Bristol, out 38 days ; or the 29ch, with, Bello Isle abeam, pasclei soveral ickerg4 ; and on the Ist inst. exchanged signal with the Royal Mail steamship Anglo Saxon, bound west. The Montreal Evening Pilot states that a gene ral election was about to take place at Toronto, and that the Opposition anticipated the overthrow of the present Ministry, and that there was a rumour to the effect that there was to be an immediate union of the British and North American provinces, and that delegates from Nova Scotia, New Bruns wick, &c., were hurrying up to Toronto to take the matter into consideration. Milit try des3rt'ons ha i become so prevalent (says the Quebec Gazette) that the Comrnander-in-Chi-f had prevailed on the authorities to offer rewards for the arrest of all delinquents, and to warn all persons against employing them. The commencement of the extension of the Grand Trunk Railroad east of St. Thomas is an nounce.l. A person at Mal Bay (Gaspe) bad advertised the recovery' of the mail which was on board the wrecked steamer Clyde from some fishermen, wLo had found it some miles from the wreck, but find ing no money in it had detail:lllnel to destroy the contents. Among the letters are bills to the amount of 40,805/. The Quebec timberluarket showed no signs of improvement, although there had been several large sales ; vessels had arrived pretty numerously.

THE R9YAL -INPERVIEW AT TVEIMA.R, A few days ago we gave extracts from articles published by the Zeit of Berlin and the Austrian Gazette on the subject of the interview at Weimar. Both journals congratulated themselves on the meeting of the Emperors, but the Zeit insinuated that the Cabinet of Vienna felt the necessity of re pairing its errors. The Austrian, Gazette appears to have been much annoyed at that assertion, and in a fieth article, entitled "Anvil or hammer," reproaches Prussia with not having been represented either at Stuttgard or at Weimar. It says : " The absence of Prussia was neither remarked by France nor Russia, but it has been by Austria and by Germany, which has a right to look up to Prussia. A great question, not only European, but, by the effects it may produce, really German, is shortly to receive a solution—we allude to the definitive organisation of the Danubian principalities. In that question, Austria presents herself nearly alone with the suzerain power, whose interests are here perfectly identical with those of Germany. The Germanic Confederation has, besides, admitted that it is interested in the matter, and now the sec ind great German power declares that Prussia has no interest at stake on the Lower Danube. It hence follows that in the case in question Germany has referred the matter entirely to Austria, who, on her part, only takes counsel from herself." The Gazette adds that a State can neither be strong nor powerful when it proclaims its neutrality on all questions. " The reign of 1,000 years (the mil lenniuin), whenever it commences, may," it sar, "modify these conditions, but every State which iu waiting for this reign does not perform the part of the hammer will be reduced to,that of the anvil." All this relates to the neutral attitude assumed by Prussia in the question of the principalities, in which the Caldnet of Berlin refused to support the interest of Austria as a Germanic matter.

DECREASE ON THE WEAVING POPULATION.— It is a Met worthy if notice that within the last 15 years the Heaving population of Crieff has decreased about 50 per cent. In 1842 there %era 500 weavers in Crieff, there is scarcely one-half of that number. In Comrie, the decrease has been even greater, and in Muthill the number engaged at the loom are so few as to be insuffi cient to afford employment to even one resident weaving agent. The cause of this decrease is mainly to be found in the small Rages paid to the weavers, and in the fact of their being frequently out of employment I .IZ4.I3,ATtIiE. • to Story of My Life. B 7 Lora William Lennox, " Compton A u dl ey, " & c. 3 vols. Alluutrllotranodf Blackett. These volumes present a remarkable variety to the readir, many different scenes of society, being brought before the notice, and, the several persima iges introduced in them affording a striking con trast to those novels, which follow exclusively the fortunes of the hero or heroine, briefly referring to all others. The adventures of the hero, ArAur Pembroke, are chronicled, and hi certainly van a ircer worthy of notice, Er it was phntifully diver sified in incident, and his wand4ing course iaillus tiative of the fate of others also strangelir'circiim stanced. At the commencement of his record he relates how he was sent to a school, in nu ways cele brated for wise rule or elevated doctrines, where is mania for practical jokes caused such cOmniet;on that to avert the consequences he van away. He was to have gone to sea, but his evil fate wont before him, and such tales of his exploits reached the ears of the officials that his services were dispensed with. He subsequently entered the many, where his va rious doings form an agreeable subject for study ; tint he meanwhile gives, par parenthese, the sum mary of the life and deeds of some whom IN en counters in the highway of ,existence. Of these gone is more amusing than Major Skittowe.' The zeal and assiduity which this worthy displays to further his purposes and execute his devices might shame many a better man intent on a higher object. His bast trick was the adroitness with whieh he con trived to fasten himself on a friend as the dinner hour approached, or the careless, easy manner in which he sometimes dropped in as the meal was being serve I. He had a habit of always walking forward while the accounts were being calledfor at any establishment. Mingled with some public affairs, such as races, horsedealing, &c., in the description of which some useful hints may be gathered, there is a private story of no mean interest. Mary Winterburn was a superior character, and though pleasing and smiable, she was'not of the doll-like description of beauty ; she would not sit stilt and hear her wrongs meekly ; she possessed a spirit, and when .roused to indignation it was not an easy task to control her. This Arthur Pembroke found out too la' e ; they +lad been privately married, and he had been cnn polled to join his regiment, leaving her i 4 ";town. ft would have been more prudent to have wasted for years to bring discretion to both ; bAt; tirstead of doing such a wise thing, they married iii_ha4e, Lind had plenty of time to repent ; for , Mary, alarmed at some reports she lead went abroad, and her husband, offended at her anger, remained at home alone for several years, to ruminate on the ill-luck that attended him wherever his steps strayed. He had forgotten to be more cautious in his conduct than before - his marriage, and also had boon unwise enough not to mention his plans to his wife. Whatever has been concealed from us always acquires a double force when discovered at last, and hence the catastrophe occurred. It is not pleasant to the reader to dwell on the passage of Arthur Pembroke's narrative, in which he makes mention of his acquaintance with Ada Oastleton ; it was inconsistent with honour and right feeling to go on as he di , t, when he knew that he had been introduced to her family under false pretences. Some of the events mentioned are very graphically described, and one of the most exciting is the struggle made by Pembroke and some of his friends to reach town in order to stop the agents from de livering the money for a cheque that had been ob tained under false pretences. Any readers desirous of leaving the heavy folio and the dry tome for a peep into a lighter and livelier publication, cannot do better than possess themselves of the "Story of My Life," in which a series of " Quips, and cracks, and wanton wiles" is displayed before them in endless variety. Addod to this, as the story dates some years back, it may not be unieteresting to take, notice of the then celebrities of the day and hour, and to compare soma of the past arrangements of fashion and frolic with those of the present. RIFLED CANNON. The difference between the action of the Amtri can and English governments in similar circum stances is strikingly evinced in their dealings with military matters. Both nations are naturally in clined rather to agriculture, commerce, and manu factures, than to war, and in America efpecially the army and navy are generally avoided by native Americans. Evcn the splendid vessels recently sent to our shores, as much, perhaps, for the purpose of dis play as from any particular necessity; and in which, it any where, American citizens would be likely to he found, contain a very large proportion of fc- reigners. The American army is stated to be still more de pendent on extraneous aid. The abundance of employment suited to every .ppears, a sufficient reason for the avoidance of professions in wnitth the rewards can never equal the risks even in a country which contains a large proportion of men more familiar with the use of arms than other civilised Com munity. _ _ Yet, in face of these difficulties, or possibly in consequence of them, the American navy is con tinually advancing, the "Constitution" is super seded by the "Niagara," heavy guns are taken out of these vessels, to be replaced by others of still more unwieldy strength, and this goes on whoever occupies the White !louse and whethe r th e ad ministration is composed Of whigs or democrats, while we in England are -content to follow humbly behind, not daring to initi a t e , t oo happy to exhibit an abject and monkey-like imita tion of others. For example, the steam-engine, as applied to navigation, is emphatically the work of English brain and science, but no argument or consideration could induce the English Achn;ralty to apply it to the purposes of the navy until Louis Philippe brought the Gomer to Portsmouth. Again, rifled muskets wore offered to the Ordnance-office, as they hive since admitted, twenty years ago, but only to be spurned ; and no notice was taken of them until 'Ong aftcr the French had adopted them in their army, and their introduction had been strenuously advocated by the British press. Yet to their use we aro indebted for the brilliant victory of the Alma, "Alma c fclicc," and to them we owo the fact that the surprise of Inkermann was not followed by a fatal issue, and the glorious struggle of the "soldier's battle" did not end in annihila tion and defeat. The order that no soldier shall be sent to India unless armed with and practised in the use of the Enfield rifle is, perhaps, due to the circumstance that the Commander-in-Chief is one of the survivors of Inkermann—if so, that ono resolution will go far to redeem the losses of that dreadful day, and possibly in time lead to the con clusion that it might be well to have a practical man at the head of some other departments of the state. The odds against the British soldier in India are in the eyes of reflecting persons sufficiently great. Some of these disadvantages are the dis tance from home, the climate, the possession of for tified cities by a mutinous army, trained and in structed in our own methods of fighting, supplied with cannon and ammunition in more than Eastern profusion, and supported by the latent if not open sympathy of 100 millions of their countrymen. But these odds are increased when men4n power can be found to assert, in the face of the country, and act on the assertion, that reinforcements sent in sailing vessels will make the voyage to India as quick, or quicker, than steamvesselsi when, but for their opposition, both field and horse artillery would now have cannon as superior in range and power to those in use at present as the Enfield rifle is to the old musket. Take one in stance only : the so-called siege of Delhi makes no progress because, according to the artillery officer in command, the guns are useless at 1,500 yards— the range of a rifled gun would be 4,000. If noble lords and right hon. gentlemen were to go out to battle themselves, they would be entitled so carry what weapons they pleased, but when they send others they are morally hound to see that every chance is given to those others for the pre ervation of their lives. To wilfully withhold any weapon, offensive or defensive, is to take part with the enemy, and even on economical grounds is tuhtete present e sent indefensible, timor for is no likely mu t i tin o be of ei war n fut i u r s e , a t so valuable as the life of a British soldier. --From a Correspondent.
