CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed br wly, and. prices were fully maintained. The sales amount :A to 12,000 La'es, 1,000 of which Were taken on speculation, and 1,000 for export. The Railway Share Maik.t closed with rather a du ll appearance, and quotations were a shade lower. A further sum of 140,0007. consisting of Rus -4Q American gold was sold to the Bank yester day, and the total stock of the precious metal held by that establishment must now exceed eleven millions and three quarters sterling. There are large amounts from America and elsewhere still available, and it is expected that they will he aPPropriated in a similar manner as there is a lull la the continental demand. Very few purchases of silver are now being made in France and Belgium "English account, and there will consequently be a Proportionate decline in the remittances of gold from tul,ts Side. The Bank of France also does not require an y blamed iat a assistance from gold brought here, and as the 50 franc notes are to be issued to day, the necessity far such aid will, no doubt, be obviated St least for some time to come. It is, therefore, hence a red uc ti on i n the minimum rate of discount before the end of the year is not considered im- Probable. Although there is still an active inquiry for money in discount circles no difficulty is found in Obtaining the accommodation required at a to I Per cent, under the rate exac . ed by the Bank of England. This renewed relief, at a period when , arr angements are in progress for the liquidation of t he commeidal bills filling due, as usuil, early in t he month, is explained by the abundant supply of capital. The tempting rates still offered by the Joint-stock banks for deposits on call place those engaged in the negotiation of paper in pos session of ample funds, and in order to employ them they are compelled, in consequence of the competition, to submit to a slight concession. When those engagements shall have been provided for, it is expected that the state of the market will be still further relieved, and the absence of speculation le most departments of business is an additional reason why money is more likely to become cheaper t han otherwise. On the Stock Exchange loans are obtainable at low rates, and the enquiry is V ery limited. T he business transacted in the English stock market up to this hour, has not been large, but Purchases have predominated, and .an improve ment of per cent, has taken place. T he further sales of bullion to the Bank, the eas ier state o f th e Money Market, and the hope th at the next advices from Ledia may be more enco uraging are in favour of quotations.

According to this, the revenues of the dividend fond would again be at the disposal of the bond holders about the beginning of July last, burthened Witha liabilit y o f a b ou t $51,000.

(This Day.) MANSION-HOUSE. Edward Pearson, traveller to Messrs'. Castle, wine merchants, 64, Lower Thames•street, was placed at the bar before Alderman Cubitt, for further remand charged with embezzling various sums, amounting together to 2,600/. When apprehended the prisoner, who was paid by commission and salary, said that he had taken about ea, with which to support himself and treat the cus tomers, not having received his salary. The prisoner was committed for trial. GUILDHALL. DOING A JEW.—John Pass, a dealer in spurious jewellery, was charged before Alderman Hales, with Laudulently obtaining 131. of leaac Simmonds, general dealer, carrying on business in Field-lane. Mr. Wontner appeared for the prisoner. It appeared from the evidence that between four and five o'clock in the afternoon of the 24th August the pri soner called at the presecutor's shop witha parcel of yellow metal watch-guard chains, which he offered for sale. Tue prosecutor told him he did not want any ; but the prisoner said he could sell them worth the money, as he had taken them in exchange. He then produced a light brown paper parcel, tied round with black tape, which he opened, containing 13 chains. Prosecutor looked at them, and said they were very common, and that he should not like to purchase them on his own judg ment. Prisoner said he might take them to a pawnbroker and ascertain their value. Prosecutor declined taking them to a pawnbroker, but he took one to Mr. Jones, refiner, in Wilderness-row, and had it tested. He then returned to his hou e, and t - rld the prisoner that he would not attempt to buy them unless he allowed him to cut a little piece off one to ascertain what gold was in it. Prisoner allowed him to do so, and prosecutor had it assayed by Mr. Jones, when the gold in it was found to be worth only 15s. per ounce. After some bargaining prosecutor offered the prisoner 121. for the 13 chains, but he would not take it, and put the chains into his pocket, having first tied them up as when he produced them. He walked towards the door to leave, when prosecutor said he would give 131. for them. Prisoner said he should have them, on which Prosecutor put down 13 sovereigns, and the prisoner a light brown paper parcel, tied rou d with t lack tape, which he took out of the same pocket he had put the first parcel into. Prosecutor aske I for a receipt for the money, and the prisoner left to get it, but not returning within a reasonable time, prosecutor became suspiciouce and on open ing the parcel, he found that he had been done, the chains left behied not having an atom of gold in • h-nn. He then went out in search of the prisoner but could not find him. Yesterday, however, as the prosecutor's wife was passing through Leather. lane, Holborn, she saw the prisoner and spoke to him. She induced him to come to her house, having first asked a policeman to follow them, and, there she gave him into cult .dy. In reply to questions from Mr. Wontner, the prose cutor said he dealt in pocket handkerchiefs, " whole sale, retail, and for exportation," he dealt occasionally in jew, llery, and was like most men up to a good bargain. He regularly attended the 'Change in Hounded itch. He bad never been in any trouble whatever in this court, nor in custody anywhere on any charge. The handker chiefs in his shop were mostly new. He never bought them singly. The prisoner was then remanded till Friday, BOW-STREET, ATTEMPTED SUICIDE BY A CHILD.---A boy named IL [try Way, aged 13, whose head scarcely reached the hvel of the dock, was placed be'ore Mr. Jardine charged with attempting to commit suicide by throwing himself t.ff Westminster-bridge. From the evidenc3 of Locke, one of the watchers of Westminster-bridge works, it appeared that 134 night, about 12 o'clock, he heard a cry for assistance from some person in the water; he rowed to the spot and succeeded in rescuing the prisoner. On being asked what led him to attempt self-destruction, he said he didn't know. Toe police nstable who took the boy into custody, said he advised the father to bring his son before the magistrate this morning. Tee father of the boy, a ladies shoe maker, here came forward and said he couli not account for such a pro- ceeding, Prisoner—l'll never do it again. Mr. Jardine—Why did you do it this time ! Prisoner—Father was going to beat me with a whip. Mt. Jardine (to the father)—lied he done anything that you were going to correct him ? Tne Father—Why, sir, the cause of it was this, the boy being the youngest, was directed to clear the shop up, whe❑ some words arose between him and his brother, and which eventually led to blows. My temper being up I quarrelled with my wife, the prisoner's mother-in law, and I threatened to flog him. Inspector Bradstock said the wife of the man was of a most violent temper. A very short time ago she threatened to knock hEr husband's brains out, and very cruelly assaulted him. Such was the effect of the wife's temper that the husband had also attempted to commit suicide a short time ago. Mr. Jardine said this was one of t%e'worst cases be had ever heard. Here was a woman with so violent a temper as to actually drive her husband and stepson to attempt suicide. He thought the best course to pursue in the present instance was to give up the boy to the care of his father, and lie should direct a constable to proceed home with Way, and caution his wife to behave Letter for the future. The nExt time the woman exhi bited any violence of temper, the worthy magistrate ad vised the btOmnd to apply for a summons, which would be immediately granted. THAMES. DARING,. HIGHWAY ROBBERY BY A WOMAN.—Ann Barrett, 31, a most do.perate and noisy woman, who kept up a continual clamour from the moment she entered the felon's dock until she left it, was brought before Mr. Yardley charged with assaulting Mr. Abra hear Isaac', a tall and venerable-1 Joking man of the Jewish persuasion, and robbing him of a gold ring, gold key, and geld locket, value 1/. 15s. Mr. Isaacs said he was a cigar manufacturer, residing at 32, Leman-street, Whitechapel. He was passing the Golden Lion public-house, near the police-station, when the prisoner, whom he never saw before, struck him and made a snatch at his watch and broke the ring, which, with the key and a locket attached, sbe got into her possession. He caught hold of her and called for the police, and she was given into custody. The prisoner, who had repeatedly interrupted and abuse I Mr. Isaacs while giving his short narrative, and quite disconcerted him, said that Le bad no right to put his arms round her ut ck and take liberties with her. She was only sorry she did not tear the old to pieces. She wanted to know what he meant by beckon. ing her into his house every eight. Mr. Isaacs appeared astonished, and was about to speak, when Mr. Yardley said there was no occasion for him to deny what a woman so thoroughly infamous as the prisoner said about him or any one else. policeman said the prisoner bad been in custody fifty times for assaults and disorderly conduct, and had committed an assault in that court. Mr. Yardley—l know all that. Has she ever been convicted of felony ? N o. 6 Tr, said that the prisoner had been c o nvi c t e d o f Police-aergt aat T o wn s he n d, picking pockets at the Clerken well Sessi on s, an d sen t e nced to three mouths' imprisonment and hard l a b o ur. My. Yardley, female searcher at the Leman-street station-housr, said she found a gold locket on the pri soner, which Mr Isaacs identified. Mr. Yardley committed the prisoner for trial, and ordered the depositions t o be taken. The infuriated woman, who was only prevented from jumping over the dock and doing serious ir.jury to the prosecutor by the gaoler standing over her, kept up a running com• mentary on the evidence, and .was removed cursing and swearing at the prosecutor and officers of the court. SOU PHWARIC. ROBBING A GENTLEMAN ON THE RIVER AND ALSO ON LAND. —John and Charles Watkins were charged before Mr. Buchanan with robbing Ezekiel Jones, a gentleman of independent property, and taking from him a valuable gold watch, a gold guard, a diamond ring, and 51. in money, as also a silk handkerchief. 0 wing to the activity, of Mr. Inspector Thomas, of the Thames police, the prisoners were apprehended under somewhat remarkable circumstances. The prosecutor deposed that a few days ago be was drinking with some friends, and after that he took a boat at the Thames Tunnel Pier, for the purpose of crossing the river to the Surrey side. Upon getting into Rotherhithe, he gave the two prisoners something to er nk, and he Lad some more to drink himself. When he got into the boa., he had something like 51. with him, a gold watch, a gold chain, and other pro. party. Having spent the whole of the money he ha', txcept a penny, be drew another cheque, and aft, r muds proceeded to a house kept by the aunt of the prisoners, but after that be boat all recollection of what subsequently transpired. Richard Wm. Reed, a waterman, said that he saw the two prisoners rowing the prosecutor across the river on the 22d ult. The boat was left in his charge at Cherry-garden:-stairs. They all went to the Lion and Ca-tle, where witness and some others had something to drink, and the prosecutor promised to give him half a-crown for minding the boat. He saw the prisoners and the prosecutor sitting on chairs at their aunt's residencs, a here he saw one of the prisoners take some money from the prosecutor's pocket, and also a brilliant ring off his finger. They paid him is. 6d. out of the half-crown he was to have received. Inspector Th Inas said that from certain information be received he succeeded, after great difficulty, in appre hending the prisoners. Remanded till Fr iday. The Lr.rd Chancellor has presented the Rev. Richard Sun. tti Cummins, M.A., curate of St. George the Mar tyr, Queen-square, Bloomsbury, to the Rectory of St. James's, Colchester. The summons taken out by the police against Mr. Wale, the proprietor of the Manor House Tavern, for holding a fair at the rear of his house, contrary to the act of Parliament, has been dismissed. OUR NATIONAL DEFENCES. —Thegovernment are aboe. to erect a battery at Liscard for the better protection of the coast.

Among racing men there are certain people who think because they are virtuous there shall be no more cakes and ale. The affected indignation which they have be stowed on recent peccadilloes is really quite amusing, and the smug horror with which they deprecate ne milking" system which unfortunately prevails to a great extent on the turf is as unreal a 3 it is original. To suit a purpose an outcry has been raised against p.p. betting and an attempt is about to be made to abolish it. That attempt, however, will be as ineft:ctual as the Frenchman's endeavour to so train his horse that by degrees it could subsist on a straw a day. The turf legislators may abolish p p. races or.e by one ; and when they have nearly accomplished their object, they may, as in the case of the Frenchman and his horse, find an obstacle to the complete realisation of their plans in the death of the national sport. The turf does not require doctoring ; it is healthy enough, and those abuses which have entered its system should be carefully, not violently, removed. A more Utopian notion was never entertained than that which suppses horse-racing could flourish without betting. It would be about as reasonable to believe that a steam-engine could be worked without steam. Racing men cool Ino more subsist on the turf without being than a fish could live without water. The arguments advanced against p.p. betting are as unsound as they are puerile, and we are surprised that they should emanate from a quarter where turfites certainly have a title to expect that as much protection should be given to their intereAts as is conceded to the Prize Ring and certain other " pas times "of a less reputable nature. Why, too, so much prominence should be given to the mal.practices of " little men," when the " doings " of certain it.flien tial persons—with or without a handle to their name— are either totally ignored or plausibly extenuated, is a matter between the " Observed of all Observers " and his own conscience. The sport supplied at Egham, Ipswich, Hereford, and Stockton was perhaps of the usual character. The managers of the Egham meeting had cause for gratula. tion at the success which attended their efforts, and are determined as a Enendraper's circular would set forth "to merit a continuance of the same." They will strengthen the programme next year, and will effect many desirable alterations on the course. Mr. Merry's venture in Sufi ilk was not very encouraging, and the accident which befell little Deer cast a gloom over tee pleasure folk which was not easily dispelled. Tee Hereford meeting, which is conducted by ripe and true sportsmen, and which receives much local support, must eventually command the patronage of all racing men. Next season it will be brought for yard, and by that arrangement it will not clash with the gatherings within the Home Circuit. Sportsmen—real and sham ones—were beating the stubble early this morning for gains, but the rain ma terially interfered with their sinister designs upon the birds. In Suffolk, however, where bares and partridges, are almost as thick as mites in a cheese, great havoc has doubtless been made. The attendance at the War wick meeting will be affected by the counter at tractions presented amongst the stubble and the turnips, and many gentlemen sportsmen will douLt less prefer a march with their dog and gun to the somewhat uninteresting proceedings on War wick race-course. Still I am not inclined to find fault with Mr. Merry's pr )gramme, which is as attrac tive as it is possible to render it at this sea-o: of the year, when first-class horses are being reserved for im portant engagements at Doncaster and Newmarket. The Leamington Stakes may command a pretty good field, but as so many horses are likely to perform in it for the sole benefit of The Admiral, it is hazardous to deal too confidently with the probabilities. Uzella is backed with an earnestness which woul 1 indicate that she is consi dered a right good thing. She is not unfavourably han dicapped, and if capable of staying she may enable " the boy in yellow to win the day." For llomly, how ever, I have a decided fancy, but whether she will start or not I am of course unable to determine. Eloquence, it is said, slipped a foal soon after running at Egham, and her absence may therefore be expected. Verona, after her Ipswich success, seems to me to be the most trustworthy, and to her I shall pay unlivided court. For a cockboat I shall take Tiff. For the Shorts Handi cap I shall be inclined to Dispute the success of Wood mite. The meeting of Proud Preston Peg, Po!ly Peachurn, and Mainstay would occasion an interesting race for the Castle Stakes, and I should place my faith in Peg who has 41b. the beet of the weights. Either Dispute or Lady Elizabeth will win the Avon Stakes. F.)r the County Plate, the intended from Isaac D ty's stable, and General Bosquet will perhaps attract the notice of the judge. Fisherman shall be my selection for the Cup, and the Baroness filly and Accurate for the Nursery Handicap. The two remaining plates do not now require notice. A FRESH MAN. ARRIVALS AT WARWICK.

The Subscripti,u-rootn was therefore somewhat thinly attended. The market took its " tone" from city transactions, which during the morning made Ignoramus an equal, it not a better fa vourite than Blink Bonny for the St. Leger. At the close of business both animals figured at nearly the same prices that were returned against them a week ag 7 to 4 was not easily obtainable about the mare, whilst 2 to 1 was laid agst Ignoramtv. who was backed in the aggregate for about 7001. The other prices were for the most part merely nominal ; Imperieuse wa4 backed at odds ranging between 40 and 50 to 1 ; 1,000 to 30 was at last the highest offer against her. For the Great Yorkshire Handicap Tasmania was the only animal in demand. No business on the Leamington S akos came under our notice. In the c'ty and in the "yard," how- ever, we believe that 4 to 1 and 7 to 2 were taken about trzilla.

Common congou, 14 1 d per lb. SUGAR.—There is very little business doing, and the market presented a ♦ery dull appearance, with a slight downward tendency in prices. In the refined market business is very dull, and lower prices are current for both brown lumps and crushed. COFFEE.- There is rather more demand for Plantation Celon for both home use and for export, and full rates are current. Other qualities are at previous value. RICE.— There is a very limited business doing, and prices are in favour of buyers. Rum.--The demand for the better qualities of Jamaica continues active, and full rates are readily realised. Other qualities are also in good request at former rates. TALLOW.—Tbo market is extremely firm, and a large business has been done at improved rates. P.Y.C. on the spot, 625. 9d. to 635., and for 3 months 60s. 6d. to 61s. per cwt. Horne melted is 61s. 6d. per cwt. cash. EXTRAORDINARY PRESENCE OF MIND.—One day last week, says the Sydney Morning Herald of April 29, Mr. Hawthorne, jun., of Singleton, Ras out riding in the bush, when, seeing a kangaroo rat, be chase d it until at last the animal took refuge in the hollow limb of a tree. He immediately thrust his hand into the hole to catch it, but as quickly pulled it out, as something had bit its finger, Upon looking at his hand he saw a death-adder clinging to his finger. No time was to be lost, and Mr. Hawthorne, with the utmost coolness and fortitude, immediately took his pen-linife and cut his finger off. We learn that no serious consequence beyond the loss of the finger has resulted from the bite. it. 100 Buekghamsh. it. 100 Cl7, ,, letealeJe. 5 all Col.Stour Vy. it. 100 E. Lin. g. 6 p. 4 5 all Ii n.

Pritchard, Delacombe, Donell in, and Macey, in command of 179 rank and file of the Royal Marine Light Infantry, doing duty at Deptford, are to be relieved to. day by a like number of thA Fusilier Guards, the de`achment of Royal Marines returning to head-quarters, Wo)l- The following depots of Scotch regiments—the 42d, 72d, 74th, 78th, 79th, and 93d—are to be quartered at Aberdeen. Col. Moodie, R.E., has been to inspect the accommodation the barracks at present afford, and there is no doub that the bar racks must be enlarged or others built. It is satis fact.Ty to le tiro that recruiting is going on steadily-, and after the harvest is glthered it is fully antici pated that each of the regiments named will obtain the required complement of men. Sir C. Wood, the First Lord of the Admiralty, will go this morning on a tour of inspection in Ire land, embarking at Holyhead. After inspecting Queenstown and other ports, Sir Coarles will make an official visit to Pembroke Dockyard. The en - ction of an iron shed over the new ship building slip, No. 5, in Woolwich Dockyard is now completed, Iv:VI the exception of some trifling fit tings to the machinery. This building at present consists of one centre span 82 feet wide by 261 feet long, and 94 feet high to the ridge. It also contains two side spans, each 32 feet wide by 232 feet long. It is, moreover, in contemplation to extend the roof by an addition of 58 feet, so as to adapt it for building the largest class of men-of war. The edifice is provided with three travelling cranes, which traverse the entire length, the two intended for operation iu side bays being each capable of lifting 7 tons, and the centre one 20 tons. The weight of the latter, when loaded, amounts to 58 tons, and it is worked at a height of 70 feet above the slip, thus having abundant head-room for the construc tion of any &ass of ship below it. Considerable economy in time will be gained by the advantage of the space afforded in this shed, under which, in cases of emergency, all the boilers and machinery of a tress .1 may by means of the traveller be got into place prior to the launch. The Lords of the Admiralty on their recent visit to the yard, in ex pressing their approval of the wok, observed that this was the iln,st building of the kind which they had seen. The Admiralty yacht Banshee, lately in atten dance on her Majesty, returned to Woolwich yes terday morning, and has commenced recoaling, in readiness for special service. The P battery of R )yal Horse Artillery, in command of Major Dixon E. Hoste, C. 8., marched into heal-quarters, Woolwich, on Saturday evening, from Norwich. Her Majesty's ship Trincomalee, 25 guns, Capt. Houston, has arrived at Plymouth in 61 days from Rio Janeiro. The Trincomalee has been five years and nine days absent from England ; out of this time she has been 1,009 days at sea, and has sailed over 118,000 miles ; her station has been the Paci fic. On the 10th July, in lat. 15 S , long. 34 W., she exchange' numbers with the English brig Woodbine, running to the southward ; and off the Island of Flores, with the English barque Guate mala, of Liverpool, standing N.E., Aug. 26, in lat. 49 14 N., long. 727 W. The English ship Shan non, of London asked to be reported as bound from Madras for , London. _ _ The Brilliant, Capt. Paynter, arrived at Greg nada on the 28th July, from Trinidad, sailing up in admirable style to a central position within the Carenage, where, perfectly sheltered from those elemental dangers so much to be feared at this sea son of the year in o her West India latitudes, she now rides at anchor within a S , ol.lt3'S throw of the premises I,elew fort Gle'orge, lately tt...,:s:gned by the lee .1 government for the purpose of a naval esta blishment—and where, too, with the mast con ymient nautical watering-place known in the West Indies, and one of the best fruit and vege table markets immediately accessible, it is, hap pily, seldom indeed that we hear of the appearal ce of any of those diseases of tropical climates so fatal to European constitutions. These and many other great advantages peculiar to a locality which "nature seems to have intended fer a southern naval arsenal," cannot fail of being more and mole appreciated by the gallant captain whose own co. - tect judgment has led to its selection as affording the most suitable winter quarters for the fine ship and brave crew under his command, and will, it is to be hoped, ii duce oth , rs also of the Royal navy to adopt it in a similar way, if not as a perma nent rendezvou-, at le as a temporary refuge in the hurricane months.—Grenada Chronicle. The Perseverance, screw troop ship, Commander M'Donald, arrived at .Grenada on the sth August from Demerara, with ono ct:mpany of the 2d West Indian Regiap nt on board : the principal object of her visit was to take alvant3ge of the superior facili ies offered there for coaling, but in which she was not successful, as the collier 3 of the Royal Mail Company have been tardy with the supplies ft r their depot there ; therefore she was to start on the 10th August for Barbadoes, and then return to England. The Retribution, 28, paddle frigate, Capt. Bar ker, arrived at Valparaison on the 3d July. ADMIRAL KEPPEL, TO THE EDITOR. Silt, —A s the gallant Harry Keppel bas "reached the top of the tree," and at the prime of life, it may be interesting to a few of your many naval readers to know something of the school in which that favourite of the blue jackets completei his nautical training. Some five and twenty years ago there was cruis ing in the Indian Seas a crack razes, Lt once the pride and the terror of the station. She was com manded by Capt. Ilaultaut, a stfrn disciplinarian of the old school. Amongst her crew there weie neither " Minto men" nor " Grahamites," but each and all of them genuine specimens of the true Bri tish tar. I will not intrude on your space by enu merating the stringent regulations to which officers and men were subject on board this model man-o% war ; sufficient to say they embodied a system of discipline which the greatest Martinet of the day would fear to adopt. " Haul-taut" was not only one of the sternest, but the most indefatigable of officers ; he not only performed daily the duties of captain, first lieutenant, master, purser, and officer of marines, but he was a real " Jack-of-ail-Trades." He knew better how to make a spar than the car penter, knew more of the magazine than the gun ner, arid the boatswain durst not whistle but by his signal ; even from him the blacksmith had his in structions how to make a hook and thimble. In addition to all this, while at sea he did constantly day duty as " captain of the forecastle," and from that platform, in tones of thunder, were issued those words of command which made sailors fly and officers tremble. In the "queen of corvettes," under that autocrat afloat, served as junior lieu tenant (ihe beloved of his messmates and "darling of the crew") the future hero of the Naval Brigade. Therefore no officer, in the course of his training, has been subjected to a severer system of naval dis cipline than the daring, dashing Admiral Keppel. I remain, Sir, your obedient servant, ONE OF HAUL TAUT'S FORECASTLE MEN. THE CHINA SQUADRON. A p'ivate letter from the Sha nnon, 51, screw 2 , Capt. W.

This romance flees not follow the fortunes of the individual hero, or heroine, exclusively, and make everyone else secondary to them, and everything else subservient to their interests. It is more a chronicle of the various members of the Montagu. family ; and, added to this, it rela'es what bAel some of their immediate connections and intimate friends. The chief character is Clarice, a younger daughter of Sir Hugh Mont agu , w h o i s i n d ee d true to nature, and a charming creation to attract and enliven. She is always the same, alike the sun shine of her home, whether it is her beautiful birth place in the stately halls of Beaulieu, or the small house in London, where she had to exchange the refinements of luxury for the wearing anxieties and carking cares of a limited income. To add to the petites miseres which often are real troubles, the " trifles that make the sum of human things," her sisters had married better than herself, and the conceited woman of fashion, the beautiful Lady Selwyn, was profuse in her covert sneers, and irri tating condolences, concerning the modest establish merit of her sister. The introduction of Elinor Vivian into the story forms a striking contrast to Clarice. She is of a singular disposition, pos sessed of deep feelings, but ho!ding them down with an iron grasp, till only minute observers and far-seeing judges could suppose their existence, hence she was called by the world cold and stiff. She was deficient in moral courage, though reso • lute and determined in her demeanour, and these opposite extremes combined to produce great wretchedness for her in life. Jasper Temple is a most despic ibis man, one who has no scruples as to obtaining his object, and employs the fascina tion of his address, to hire and ensnare the unfor tunate beings who come in contact with him. Of these was Henry Montague. The author has sue ceisfully traced the course of a career too often run, in the details of the intimacy that sprung up in an evil hour for the peace and welfare of Beaulieu Court and its inmates, as the old gipsey featfully prophecied its sun was setting, when we were first introduced to its beauties and splendours. However, it is satisfactory to the mind to find out at liet that its glories were revived, and its lustre restored, through the kindness of an old friend in the neigh bourhood. It adds to the delight that the worldly goods, by which Clarice and her husband were at last relieved from the painful pressure that had so long embit ered their existence, were the coveted trea sures on which Jasp r Temple had fixed his hopes for long years. His uncle preferred leaving his property to merit rather than unworthiness, and the artful schemer met the retribution of his work in Henry's disgrace and his family's ruin. Colonel Disbrow e, the hrether of Chi ice's husband, was a fine noble nature, but he was too jealous and hasty in his disposition. It was a fatal thing for one so weak as Elliuor Vivian to have inspired an at tachment in a mm like Temple, he haunted her like a shadow, and at last planned a deadly revenge. Had she been straightforward in 'her conduct she would have disarmed her assailant, but her hesitation and vac Dating manner made Colonel Diabrowe uneasy, and the acts of Temple soon roused his jealousy. This passage is exciting, and increases the interest of the story. Ellinoes dismay when she found it impossible to clear her scif by her too long delayed. explanaious, the Co!onel's indignation when Le found himself so basely deceived, are vividly sketched, and demon strate most fully the errors of a hasty judgment, and the misery caused by the folly of proctastina tion, and want of moral energy. Clarice was very different, and it was through her courage that her family were saved, when she found Jasper Temple de,troying the will of his uncle by night. Mr. Charlton, who married the eldest of Sir Hugh's daughters, is a specimen of a most disagreeable class, who arrogwe to themselves the right of supe rior judgment, and have no sense of fitness, or nicety of feeling to respect the tastes of others. He was an unworthy addition to so excellent a family. The reader will Le at no los; for amusement in perusing "True to Nature," for it presents variety in every form, and shows every shade of difference in character. It has also to recommend it au agree able style, and the introduction of some striking events, and exciting scenes, that are replete with vigour and vivacity. Unprotected Females in Norway. Routledge. A fight and lively record of the exploits of two adventurous ladies, who set offon a Scandinavian tour without a cavalier. They had no reason to repent of their hardihood, and the fair authoress boldly asserts "that. ladies al one ge t on muc h b e tt er in travelling than with gentlemen ; they set about things in a quieter manner, and always have their own way." She further asserts that, should they have no escort, every one vies in offering them civi lity and attention ; indeed, at some places, their chivalry went so far as to charge them less than g p n . tlem-n travellers. We fear ladies must restrict their excursions to very primitive countries should they hope to find this anticipation realised. The autho re,s made many friends in her route, and shows the northern character iu its most pleasing aspect, in the warm hospitality and simplicity of the domestic) household. Tee scenery, to), receives its tribute of admiration, though its stern and gloomy charac ter impresses some minds with more awe than plea sure. The travellers passed Through Denmark and Sweden in their route, and their opinions of those places are also chrobicled. Thetis are numerous sketches from nature, and several pretty coloured plate ,, , which add to the attractions of the volume. The gay and animated style of the work keeps up the reader's interest, and many will be glad to extend their knowledge of the far north with such an agree able and adventurous companion. THE LATE EXTENSIVE MERCANTILE FAILURE AT BRISTOL. BRISTOL, AUGUST 31. A meeting of the creditors of Messrs. Bruford, Dyer, and Co., African merchants, of this city, of whose sus pension of payments some notice has already appeared, was held here to-day, and the investigation which took place disclosed a much more serious state of affairs than had at first been supposed. The liabilities, instead of amounting to somewhat over 100,000/., as was at first thought, exceed a quarter of a million ; while the prob able assets (apart from the private property of the part n r 2) wi'l only amount to some 80,0001. or 90,0001. The meeting was held at the banking house of Messrs. Baillie, Ames, Cos; Baillie, and Company, Old Bank, Corn-street, and was attended by a very large body of creditors. Mr. G.

THE _ROYAL kIORSE GUARDS.—An accident of a s rious nature occurred about half•past 9 o'clock yester day morning to Lieutenant Firmer, of the Royal Horse Guards. A detachment of that regiment were going off guard from the Horse Guards, and proceeding through t he park, when Lieut.
