YIONEY MARKET AND CO WI IYIERCJAL INTELLIGENCE, CITY, Two o'CLocK. Accounts from Liverpool mention that the Cotton Market yesterday closed very heavily, and values tended downwards. The sales amounted 3,000 bales. The railway share market closed with a more active appearance, but prices were at a slight decline. This being the fourth of the month, and as it is known that an exceedingly large amount of com mercial bills fall due, much anxiety is felt to learn the result of the day's payment, the late collapse in American credit necessarily causing some loss to British merchants, and in some cases producing , temporary difficulty. From the most careful in quiries it may be gathered that the bills arriving at maturity to-day will be duly honoured with not more than the usual amount probably of returned bills. The probable effects of current events in America have, there can be little doubt, been un duly magnified in some quarters. Money has, by the high rate of interest offered by the Banks and discount brokers, become ex tremely plentiful, notwithstanding the high charges fixed by the Bank of England for accommodation, and thus one of the natural elements of stability is afforded the commercial interest. They have not to contend with a scarcity of money, but with onerous rates of discount, a feature which has been too little dwelt upon by some of our contemporaries, and a disregard or forgetfulness of which has been apt to lead to unsound 'conclusions. The worst feature in the aspect of monetary affairs at the present moment is the continued ab• aence of supplies of Australian gold, to which quar ter we are now restricted, shipments from America in any quantity having ceased for a while. This, with an active demand for export to America and the Continent, is causing a renewed drain upon the stock of bullion in the Bank, which, if it continues for any time, must perforce compel the directors to again raise the rate of discount, to probably 9 per cent, as a half per cent. advance would now be of no use whatever in checking the drain. Parcels of gold, in sovereigns for America, and in bars for the Continent, are being taken out almost daily. In one shape or way about 200,0001. is believed to have been taken since Saturday morning. While the bank is losing its gold, its circulating power is con traded ; hence its means of affording accommoda tion to the commeEcial classes becomes proportion ably restricted. The silver market is quiet as usual immediately after the departure of the bi-monthly mail to the Bast. Subjoined are the current quotations in the bullion market, which exhibit much firmness : Bar gold, 775. 9d. per oz., standard ; United States gold coin, M. per oz. Bar silver, ss. lid. Per oz. standard ; and five franc pieces, 4s. llid. per oz. Great disappointment and regret is felt at tha untoward delay in the launching of the Great Eastern steam-ship, now christened more properly the " Leviathan." The engineers will, on the next trial, take measures to prevent any similar accident to that which occurred yesterday, and by which the launch of the vessel is delayed. The present weather is unfavourable for out door agricultural labour, but considerable progress has, however, been made in autumn seed-sowing. The breadth of land under cultivation next year Will probably much exceed that of 1857. Accounts from Scotland announce another failure there in connection with the American trade, but the arrangements_effected to give assistance to the Western Bank of Scotland, will naturally relieve the local interests, and favourably react in houses here. The market for Public Securities this morning exhibits a very depressed appearance, and the Bears" are temporarily profiting by the move bleat in the quotations. After the recent inflation lheY considered themselves justified in effecting ex !eneive sales, and these operations appear to have been 3 , ll3 tified by th e con ti nuous efflux of gold from the l 'artkof England. Whilst this drain exists there will De a good deal of uneasiness since these withdrawals al ways exercise a depressive influence. occasionally Undue importance is attached to them, but now there seems to be a just cause of apprehension, especially as the inconvenience telt in commercial' circles, through the continuance of the present restrictions, is very scares. Consols for money and the 10th inst. have been 89f I, and. they are now 89i to 89i I. The New 3 per Cents. are 88i 1; the Reduced, 88i a .

Lancashire and Yorkshire receded 55., Brighton and Midand 10s., Great Western 155., and Cale donian, North- Western, South-Western, and Man chester, Sheffield,. and Lincoln, 1/.

On the evenings of Tuesday and Wednesday last Northgate, Maidstone, was in a state of unusual excitement, owing to a disturbance having taken place on the former evening between some of the men belonging to the 6th Foot and the men con nected with the East Kent Militia, and which it was feared would be repeated. Consequently strong officers' pickets turned out, and completely scoured the city of the militia and the regulars, on Wed nesday evening, and thus prevented by prompt measures what was feared by many would have been a very serious encounter. The whole of the shops in Northgate-street were closed, and business was almost entirely suspended during the entire evening, as females were afraid of venturing from their houses for the purpose of making their re quired purchases. The origin of the affair came out at our police court on Wednesday, when Charles Hines, a pri vate in the 6th, was charged by police-constable Epps with having, with a number of other soldiers not in custody, violently assaulted one George Phillips, a civilian. The complainant's face pre sented a frightful appearance, and showed the brutal treatment to which he had been subjected. One of his eyes was completely closed up, and his face covered with contusions. The row first com menced at the City of London public-heuse ' it was said, over a game o f car d s. A regu l ar fight ensued between some of the East Kent and the privates of the Gth. Several of the men were hurt, as they had recourse to their belts, which they slashed about in all directions. The party then left in the direction of the barracks, a civilian who had received some severe cuts being carried by the police to the sta tion-house. In P alace-street, the soldiers quarrelled among themselves, and in the melee they struck Phillips, the complainant, who was quietly passing down the street at the time. He called out for assistance, and Corporal Payn, of the 17th Lancers, and a private of the same corps, went to his assistance, when an en counter ensued between them and the men of the 6th, who immediately attacked the corporal and the private. The corporal's face was quickly covered with blood from a wound inflicted by a blow from a belt. Police-constable Epps and others rendered all the aid they could, but the whole of the men of the Gth managed to effect their escape, excepting the accused, who, in answer to the bench, said that he was not the only one engaged in the affair; there were many others besides bim. Phillips could not identify his assailants, the attack being so sudden and unexpected on his part. Corporal Payn declined making any charge against Hines, preferring his being left to be dealt with by the military authorities. The magistrates strongly condemned the bruta lity exhibited on the occasion, and directed Super intendent Clements to wait upon Captain Gore, and report the facts which had been elicited to him. The superintendent did so, and the captain sent a picket for the accused, who was at once handed over to the military authorities, for them to deal with him as they should deem expedient.—Seuth- Eastern Gazette. THE ATTEMPT TO LAUNCH THE QREAT EASTERN. FURTHER PARTICULARS. The following appeared in a part of our impression of yesterday evening, in time for Post (3d Edition) : Everything seemed to go off smoothly and hope fully up to about half-past two o'clock, when the launch had proceeded so far that her stem was moved about four feet, and her stern six feet some inches. The strain at this time was immense —the chains were worked into a straight horizon tal line by the pressure, and thousands in boats and steamers on the water, as well as thousands in and about the yard, were wound up to an intense interest. All looked well—when presently a loud crash like thunder burst upon the gazing wonderers—for one of the chains snapped ! and the water was in a splash of commotion, boats and steamers were so taken by surprise, and manifest disappointment. What's next to be done? was the universal question, but there was no one to answer at the moment. However, nothing daunted by the accident, Mr. Brunel gave his orders with a calmness and forti tude worthy of his gigantic mind. "It will be all right yet !" or something to that purport was his ejaculation on the misfortune being ascertained. It appears that the strain was so great near the hydraulic engine and apparatus that a cast-iron wheel near the winch suddenly snapped, and the winch turned round with such impetuous velocity as to throw four or five men, who were working at it, right into the air, whirling them some distance. The poor fellows fell and were dashed against the planks and large timbers that were lying about the yard. But for this untoward accident, it was fully expected that the launch would have been completed in the afternoon. Th• damage done to the machinery may be re paired in a day or two ; but the tides will "take off," as the sailors say, thus verifying the old adage that— " Time nor tide, For no man will abide." We regret most sincerely this sad haphazard to a project so deserving of the most complete success. But as Rom• was not built in a day, nor the Great Eastern in many long days and.nights, there is nothing to despair of. She will be launched in the fulness of time, and Mr. Brunei's grand conception be crowned with surpassing and unex ampled glory. The rain came on heavily after this accident. It is now said that the launch will be deferred until the 2d of December. (From the Times.) Yesterday morning the first attempt was made to ower this colossal steam-ship at Millwall into the river. It was the first attempt, and only an at tempt, for from one cause and another the effort to move her beyond a few feet toLally failed, and the gigantic vessel, which ere this should have been a " monster of the deep," remains as firm, if xot firmer than ever, upon the river's bank. For another month at least, if not for a longer period, the launch has been postponed, and the 2d December has been fixed as the earliest period on which the next effort can be made. Owing to the uncertainty which appeared to prevail even in the minds of those most intimately connected with the company as to the day when the attempt to lower the ship was to be made, the public were most unsettled in their notions, and up to Monday it was generally believed that the launch was not to take place for some time. Tho attendance, therefore, of the usual sightseers which oue always meets at such exhibitions iu the metropolis was very liMited, and with a few notable exceptions, the assembly to witness the proceedings seemed chiefly belonging to the working classes. There was rather a strong muster of engineers and scientific gentlemen not Only from all parts of England, but even from France, Germany, America, and Russia, but of mere fashionable {men, or members of the aristocracy, the number was extremely limited. The Count de Paris, with the Duke d'Aumalo and several French gentlemen, were early on the ground, and watched every movement in the day's proceedings with the deepest interest_ The Siamese ambassadors with a numerous retinue were also present, and for a time drew off attention oven from 4, 1.1 - o re.,......4,.:........... T -. sel which seemed to shut up the whole yard. The principal personage among these rather remarkable foreigners was attired in a gorgeous robe of cloth of gold, but the dress of most of the attaches to the embassy was extremely simple, being for the most part composed of common printed cottons. All of them smoked and chattered incessantly, and ap peared far from being indifferent to the observa tion they excited among the spectators. So gratified, indeed, did they seem by it that the attention which they paid to the proceedings of the day was quite subordinate to their efforts to display themselves to a British public with advantage and effect. Con sequently their first appearance was attended with considerable eclat and success. All the houses in the neighbourhood which commanded a good view to the yard were surmounted with scaffolding for he accommodation of the throng of visitors who ) 11 were expected on this occasion to overrun the Isle of Dogs, but who, nevertheless, it was evident, for the most part infinitely preferred staying away. At all events, the wide expanse of planks and hoards was almost wholly untenanted throughout the day, which certainly in many cases was a source of com fort to the lookers-on, for some of the seats were but ill calculated to support the weight of half the people they vaunted to accommodate. The influx of pedestrians who stood in all the streets around the yard with their eyes intently fixed upon the vessel was very great. So also steamboats and wherries, laden almost to the water's edge, covered the river, and all along the wharfs and works at Deptford, on the margin of the Thames, was thronged with crowds, for the great vessel towered like a mountain of iron high over all around, and could be distinctly seen from both sides of the river. During the whole of Monday night the work men were retained in the yard removing the struts and shores which supported her on the side to wards the river, and before dawn yesterday morn ing the last beam had been entirely taken away. Then, for the first time, the whole length of the vessel, from stem to stern, was visible without the slightest break. The graceful sweep of her lines, the clear sharp run of her bows and sweep of the stern, could be appreciated at a glance. The last supports were not removed until every precaution had been taken to ascertain that she was securely stayed by her check-tackle, and that there was no fear of her suddenly gliding down the " ways" and launching herself. From the articles which have appeared in this journal our readers must be quite familiar with the peculiar construction of the launching ways, and also have derived a correct general idea of the nature of the tackle by which she was to be lowered into the water. It may, however, be as well to briefly mention again these mechanical appliances, and the manner in which each acted. First, then, on the river side four large lighters were moored in the tideway, and worked with crabs and sheaves upon the chains, which were fastened to the vessel amidships. Each of these four lighters was ca pable of applying a strain of GO tons, all of which were to be used to draw the vessel down the launch ing ways in case of any contretemps which might prevent her running. Two lighters were also moored at the stem and two at the stern of the vessel. The chains passed from the ship to these latter were returned again on shore, so as to be worked with a double purchase. Small stationary engines on land were used to haul in these, and made the whole force available to pull the vessel off the shore upwards of 600 tons. These were the means taken to draw her down to the water, but the greatest efforts of Mr. Brunel were, of course, concentrated in the check tackle which was to pull her bask and prevent her dashing into the river at the fearful mo mentum of 12,000 tons weight, sliding down an incline of 1 in 12. For this purpose two most powerful drums have been constructed, to which the cradles were attached by enormous sheaves or pulleys of cast iron, expressly cast for this purpose, and weighing five tons each. One s h ea ve was fastened to each cradle, and wrought iron chain cables of the largest size connected these with two other sheaves, each of which was secured to the drum, which payed out the chain, and, in fact, regulated the whole operation. These drums and the framework on which they rest having to bear the strain of the whole mass in motion, extra ordinary precautions were taken to render them as massive as they could be made by any known com bination of wood and iron. The sha p e was tha t of a n ordinary reel, the axle o f which was formed b y b ea ms of timber and strips of wrought iron bound together so as to form a drum about 20 feet long and 9 feet in diameter. At each end of the cylin der are the wheels of the drum or .ghing upwards discs, 16 feet in diame t e r, each of solid iron, and w of 20 tons, so that the weight of each el drum is more than 60 tons iii all. The axle Of the disc its la in a .gme was hurt was conveyed to his home at his owa request. frame of iron, while around its out er edge passes a band of wrought iron to work in the manner of a friction clutch or break. This, with the aid of strong iron levers 20 feet long, brings such a pressure to bear on the discs of the drum as to lower its rate of revolutions, or entirely stop them in case of the chain being payed out too fast. These drums were set in a solid bed of wood formed by driving down masses of piles into the gravel, so as to form a mass of timber 20 feet square. This is bound together with iron, and strong shores p ass f rom the cute of piles to the bed of piles on whi c h the launching-w a y s are built. So that, in fact, no matter what the strain, it was impossible for the s e tti ng of the drums 'to give, unless the whole rive r ' s b an k gave way with them. ' One of these drums is built opposite each cradle-- the chains used between them and the cradles are the chain cables of the great ship itself which are 2i inch in diameter, or about 601 b. the link. Be tween each drum and the cradle on which the ves sel rested, a hydraulic ram was fixed to "start" her. That at the forward end gave a pressure of 600 tons, the one at the stern 1,000. The launch was fixed to commence at 11 o'clock, but things were not arranged for the moving of the monster when that time came. Gangs of men were employed in hauling chains, in clearing away the slightest obstacle upon the ways, and giving the metals the final coating down of blank lead and oil. Mr. Brunei's position was high up in a little ros trum fixed on the inner side of the vessel. On this spot he was in a line with the conspicuous marks which had been erected on each side of the ship and facing him on Mr. Penn's factory on the other side of the river. From this point he was to regu late the advance of stem and stern by signals, which were communicated to the gangs of workmen, both to pull her off and hold her back by means of flags —a white flag being the signal to haul together, and a red one to cease on all points. It was nearly half-past 12, and the public was beginning to yawn and manifest impatience, when they were somewhat appeased by seeing the chris tening bottle of wine, gaily decorated with flowers, carried forward to the stem of the vessel. Here it was soon suspended, and Miss Hope, the daughter of the chairman of the Great Eastern Company, giving it a hearty swing, dashed the wine over the bows of the vessel and bade " The Leviathan" God speed, amid the cheers of thousands. In -a few moments afterwards the word was passed to com mence the launch. At the signals the lighters slowly but steadily commenced to haul taut their tackle from the river, which it was thought wo u ld of itself be sufficient to bring the vessel gently down. It appeared, however, to have no effect beyond once or twice producing in the vessel itself a sullen rum bling noise like distant thunder as the great strain told upon her hull. It remained thus for about 10 minutes. Expectation was wound up to the highest pitch, when the peculiar hissing noise of the hydraulic rams at work to push her off was heard. We should have mentioned that each of the drums was so constructed so as to be turned by ordinary windlasses in order to wind up the slack chain between the drums and the cradles, otherwise if any slack was left when thehydraulic rams started the vessel it would run it rapidly out, and Heaven only knows the consequences that might ensue. When the "rams" began to work, the order was distinctly given to "wind up"—meaning to coil in this slack between the drum and the cradle. This was accordingly done at the forward drum, but un fortunately, at the stern of the vessel the men did precisely the reverse, and uncoiled more slack chain. Among the number of engineers who were looking on, the danger of this was seen at a glance, but there was no - official to check the men, who seemed ordinary " navvies." Suddenly there was a cry of " She moves, she moves !" the fore part of the vessel slipped, and the stern rushed down rapidly. It seemed to slip some three or four feet in the space of a couple of seconds, in consequence of the slack chain from the after drum offering not the least check. In an instant the strain came upon the drum, which was dragged round, and of course, as that was connected with the windl ass by multiplying wheels, the latter turned some 10 or 15 times for every foot the drum moved. The men at the windlass madly tried to hold it, but the heavy iron handle flew round like lightning, strik ing them and hurling five or sixhigh into the air as if they had been blown up by some powerful explo sion. A panic seemed to spread as this shocking accident took place, and the men stationed at the tackle and fall of the level next the windlass rushed away. Fortunately, most fortunately, for the lives of hundreds of the spectators, the men at the lever at the other side of the drum stood firm, and hauling on their tackle draw their lever up and applied the break on the drum with such terrible force that the ship instantly stopped, though she seemed to quiver under the sudden check as if she had received a heavy blow, and the check-tackle and massive pile of timber which restrained the drums strained audi bly. The whole of this took place in the course of two or three seconds. The ssel dronnetl the meanmeanwere hurled from the windlass, and with a heavy rumbling noise the tremendous structure was still on the " ways" again, almost before the spectator had time to imagine what had occurred. For a moment there was rather a panic, and a disposition to run from the spot, but it was only momentary. Four of the mon who were injured were carried off to the Poplar Hospital at once, and a fifth, who seemed to have sustained some severe internal hurt, was afterwards obliged to be assisted from the yard. This melancholy occurrence seemed to exercise a most depressing effect, especially upon the work men, though the tremendous strain to which the drum was exposed, and which even with the friction of only one break proved sufficient to check the vessel with a great and unexpected momentum on her, showed that the check tackle was all that could be desired. An examination of the place where the accident occurred showed that the toothed wheels of the windlass (which seemed totally insufficient in multiplying power to enable the men to exercise any check upon the revolution of the drum) were broken, and appeared so out of gear that they were almost useless. Beyond this damage, which was of not the least importance, the rest of the apparatus of the drum and framework was as firm as ever. The vessel it was found had slipped down the ways about three feet at the forward drum, and 4 feet 3 inches at the one fixed aft. The stern had pro gressed, of course, about 6 feet towards the river. All this took place before a quarter to 1 o'clock, and it was 2 before everything was again ready to move her still further down the ways. Before that time the weather, which at no period had been very favourable, became still worse, and the little drops of rain which had now and then fallen at short in tervals gave place to a regular, steady drizzle, so that the public looked with unusual impatience to the launching efforts. At a few minutes after two o'clock the men were all again at their posts, and the signal was given to recommence. This time every precaution was taken to prevent a loop of slack in the chain again occurring. All the lighters from the river got their hauling tackle in order, and began to strain upon the vessel, but without making the least apparent impression. The tide was then within a few feet of its highest, and it be came evident to all concerned that if the ye sst 1 was to be moved at all that day no time was to be lost. Again from out of the dense mass of timber of the cradles came the little hissing noise at regular in tervais which told that the enormous pressure of the hydraulic rams was found requisite to start her ; still, in spite of all, she never moved or showed the slightest symptoms of being at all affected by the terrific pressure which was applied to her. After the pressure with the rams had been continued some time, a rather loud crash was heard among the timbers of the foremost cradle, and some men ran from it. What it really was did not transpire, but it was nothing of importance. The stationary engine which, as we have mentioned, was put to haul upon the chains to the bows at last gave way, and the chain itself snapped in two, though not until some of the teeth of the wheels of the engine as wo were informed, had also broken before the strain. At the same time a pin in the piston rod of the foremost hydraulic ram also gave way, and the foremost hydraulic ram also gave way, and these two accidents were irreparable. The signal was made to cease hauling, and in a minute or so afterwards the officials of the company announced that the launch was over "for the day." The yard was then cleared of strangers, and, as few were aware of what had really caused the failure __The electionipnoafcea monasTtehrurfosdraßy,ugthb: of the attempt, the most extravagant rumours soon got afloat. Among these the favourite was that the launching-ways themselves had sunk under the enormous weight, and that the I RUGBY SCHOOL.

Brunel was the designer; but, in order to c r red that impression we this day publish a stated, eat made by Mr. Scott Russell, in which all coucein-4 in her original design and construction have received heir due share of merit. Mr. Scott Russell says— " My share of the merit and responsibility is that of builder of the ship for the Eastern Steam ion Company. I designed herlines and construct.. d the iron hull of the ship, and I am responsible fcr ter merits or defects as a piece of naval architect it rt.. I am equally responsible for the palile- wh- el engines of 1,000 horse-power, by which she is t ) propelled. But Messrs. James Watt and Co., the eminent engineers of Soho, have the entire merit of the design and construction of the engines of 1,500 horse-power, which are to propel the screw. It 's to the company's engineer, Mr. I. K. Brunel, that the original conception is due of building a steam ship large enough to carry coals sufficient fur lull &teaming on the longest voyage."

The transactions were trifling in the extreme, but we have no actual change to notice in prices. Fine barley was held at full currencies. Other kinds were a mere drag. Malt met a dull inquiry, at late rates. The show of oats was unusually extensive, and the oat trade was in a depressed state, at barely Monday's decline in value.

LITERATURE. The Tirginians. A. tale of the last century. Py W. M. Thackeray. No. I. Au hor f "Esmond," &c. The appearance of the first number of a wee serial by Mr. Thackeray is a subject of conerauia tion to the world of novel readers. And there at es few who read at all in the present day who are nee familiar with the characters in the - welcome yellow dress, with the life-like satire of Becky- Sharp, with the quaint, old-world dignity (..f . Esmond, with the cordial heart and simple mann t of " Nature's Gentleman," Colonel Nawconke, while a host of minor figures, drawn by the hand f Michael Angelo Titmarab, have rased many a smile in mirth-moving Christmas volumes. Tie, title of this new buck and the author's recent; visit on the other side of the Atlantic might induce the reader to anticipate a sketch of American 1 , 11 of the present day. Mr. Thackeray has, however. avoided this invidious task ; he carries it's readers back a hundred yen's, when di.cord and rivalry had not severed the old world from the new; and though his story is evidently one of the great struggle, the spirit in which he under.. takes it is shown the very first page, wherele tells 'es that his heroes are two brothers, who "found threw selves engaged on different sides in the quarrel. coming together peaceably at its conclusion, an brothers should, their love never having materially diminished, however angrily the contest divided them." These two brothers, as the reader soon dis covers, are no others than the grandsons of Colcieet Henry Esmond and the Lady Rachel. They had. an only daughter, the heiress of the estate in Vir ginia, where they had bath ended their days Thin lady, Madam Esmond Warrington, is introduce(l to us as a widow, the manager and princess of ties, estate, and a very despotic princess she is. Such picture does our author draw of this authoritative, lady, that, like Fear alarmed at the sound himself' had made, he exclaims, " I am rather glad for Poe part that I did not live a ‘hundred years aga at Castlewood, in Westmorland county, in Virginie." The Colonel himself has passed away from the scene before this story opens. We are given le glimpse of his closing days, spent in his quiet study, leaving to his daughter the management of all his affairs. " A something 11.4 occurred in his life which had cast a tinge of melan choly over all his existence. He was not unhappy —to tho.q3 about him most kind—most affectionate; obsequious even to the women of kis family, whotn. he scarce ever contradicted ; but there had been some bankruptcy of his heart, which his spit it never recovered. He submitted to life, rather than en joyed it, and never was in better spirits than in his last hours, when he was going to lay it cloven " Those who read the love story of Henry Esmond, will remember the " something" alluded to. Ano ther old acquaintance is met in England, Beatrice Esmond, the young and beautiful, transformed into, Baroness Bernstein, old and faded, but shrewd and. imperious still, giving, perhaps in memory of old times, a cordial welcome to the grandson of her former lover. Henry Warrington, the youngest of the two brothers, and the heir, of the estate in consequence of the reported death of his brother among the Indians, which report is doubtless incorrect, pays a visit to England to make acquaintance with the old home of his ancestors :-- " Again and again Harry Warrington and his brother had pored over the English map, and determined upon the course which they should take upon arriving at Home. All Americans who love the old country—and what gently-nurtured man or woman of Anglo-Saxon race does not ?—have ere this rehearsed their English `travels, and visited in fancy the spots with w hich th e ir hopes, their parents' fond stories, their friends' descrip. tions,nave rendered them familiar. There are few things to me more affecting in the history of the quarrel which divided the two great nations than the recurrence of that word Home, as used by the younger towards the elder country Harry Warrington had his chart laid out. Before London, and its glorious temples of St. Paul's and St. Peter's, its grim Tower, where the brave and loyal bad shed their blood, from Wallace down to Balmerino and Kilmarnock, pitied by gentle hearts ; before the awful window of 'Whitehall, whence the martyr Charles had issued, to kneel once more, and then ascend to Heaven ;—before Playhouses, Parks, and Pa laces, wondrous resorts of wit, pleasure, and splendour ; —before Sbakspeare's Resting-place under the tall sp;rd which rises by Avon, amidst the sweet Warwickshite pastures ; before Derby, and Falkirk, and Culloden, where the cause of honour and loyalty had fallen, it might be to rise no more :—before all these points of their pil grimage there was one which the young Virginian bro thers held even more sacred, and that was the home ~f their family,—that old Castlewood in Hampshire, about which their parents had talked so fondly. From Bris•ol to Bath, from Bath to Salisbsry, to Winchester, to 13,-x -tom, to Horne; they knew the way, and had mapped the journey many and many a time." The journey thither realised all his anticipations, and is thus vividly described by his biographer : " The post-chase whirled the traveller through t e most delightful home-scenery his eyes had ever lighted on. If English landscape is pleasant to the American of the present day, who meat needs contrast the rich woods and glowing pastures, and picturesqee ancient villages of the old country with the rough aspect of He own, how mute pleasanter must Harry Warrington'it course have been, whittle journeys had lain through. swamps and forest solitudes from one Virginian ordinary to another log-house at the end of the day's route, and who now lighted suddenly upon the busy, happy, eplen. did scene sf English summer. And the high road, e hundred years ago, was not that grass-grown desert of the present time. It was alive with constant travel and traffic : the country towns and inns swarmed with lifts and gaiety. The ponderous waggon, with its bells and plodding team ; the light post-coach that achieved thej our. ney from the White Hart, Salisbury, to the Swan with& Two Necks, London, in two days; the strings of pack-hce • that bad not yet left the road ; my lord's gilt post-chai and six, with the outriders galloping on a-head ; is a country squire's great coach and heavy Flanders mares ; the farmers trotting to market, or the parson j , lting to the cathedral town on Dumpling, his wife behind on the pillion—all these crowding sights and brisk people greeted the young traveller on his summer journey, Hodge, the farmer's boy, took off his bat., and Polly, the milk-maid, bobbed a curtsey, as the chaise whirled over the pleasant viliage-green, and the white-headed child/let lifted their chubby faces and cheered. The churoh-spires glistened with gold, the cottage-gables glared in suoshinr„, the great elms murmured in summer, or cast pulpits shadows ever the grass. Young Warrington never bad each a glorious day, or witnessed 'a scene so delightful. To be nineteen years of age, with high health, high spirits, and a full purse, to be making your first journey s and rolling through the conatry in a post-chaise at nine, miles an hour-0 happy youth t almost it makes one young to think of him 1 But Harry was too eager t(s give more than a passing glance at the Abbey at Blth e or gaze with more than a moment's wonder at the mighty" minster at Salisbury. Until he beheld home it seemedi to him he had no eyes for any other place." On his arrival he met but a chilling reception, until the Baroness Bernstein interested herself iu his behalf. The cold, selfish English family form a good contrast to the imperious Virginian, but both countries may fairly trust Mr. Thackeray to show them in their true colours. As yet but tbo faint outlines are drawn on the canvas, and it is impossible to judge what the effect will be whelk the skilled hand of the practised master shall hav 3 filled in the glowing hues and softening shadows. That the finished picture may be worthy of hi 4 fame will be the hearty wish of all his readers.
