4 , 04 -r1 LI , .T AND CO.7.IIIdERCIAL ItrrELLIGENCE, CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday exhi bited an upward tendency. The sales were 10,030 b ties, 2,000 of which were taken on spcculatioe. The Railway Share Market was very quiet, and prices were merely nominal. There continues to be an active demand for discounts in Lombard-street, and at the Bank, and the consequence is that with very - few exceptions the full rate of 5i per cent. is exacted for first class bills, while those of an inferior character are un negociable unless on still more onerous terms. Throughout the autumn the inquiry is generally sti mulated by extended commercial operations, and a considerable sum is absorbed in Revenue collec tions, and other payments. It is, therefore, deemed improbable that any relaxation in the Bank policy will occur at present, the tendency being rather in the other direction. At the same time, however, there is au ample supply, the enticing allowance Made by the Joint-stock and Private Banks for deposits " on call" or at shell period, placing the discount firms in possession of large sums. When the October dividends are paid increased relief Will - no doubt ensue, but they are not expected to 'occasion any permanent ease, the employment for capital being very rapid and extensive. The im provement in the general position of the Bank of France is a satisfaltory feature, and if its adminis tration are not compelled to make large purchases . of gold in this country the progress of our Mone y Market will perhaps be more favourable than many imagine, .but there is still an important drain to India, which will prevent a rapid accumulation of the precious metals. During the next month or Six weeks a large influx of gold is expected, up wards of a million and a quarter being en route, and most of it probably new at hand, from the An tipodes. About 480,2761. he's been announced this morning, viz., 10.6001. per Arabia, from the United States, 174,2501. per Atrate from the West Indies and Pacific, 200,7841. per Montmorency from Vic toria, 91,5221. per Star of Peace from New South Wales, and 3,1201. by the Tagus from thp Peninsula. Last week the imports of specie were estimated at 200,4771., and the exports at 262,0041. The commercial accounts from America are de cidedly unfavourable, the panic in Wall-street having caused a severe "run" on several of the Principal banking institutions. The failure of the Ohio Trust and Lan Company has impaired con fidence, and having been followed by that of the Mechanic's Banking Association, the depositors in the Bank of Commerce, the Metropolitan and the Nassau Banks, bad become alarmed. All specula tive securities were naturally very depressed. The City Banks were contracting their loan and dis count operations, and during the week ending the 29th ult., there was a decline in this d e p artment of 750,1334 Money is in active demand, and full rates are, ha almost all cases,, exacted. The English Funds have not been favourably influenced by the Indian news, or the influx of gold and silver mentioned above. The speculators appear timid, and they prefer waiting the receipt of additional particulars. The state .of the Paris Bourse, the decline in the New York Exchange, and the small amount brought from America in consequence, are considered unfavourable features, and, as such, add to the flatness of the market. Consols have been 90i I and 90 for money, and for account 902 91; the prevent prices are 90 and 901 4 respectively. Exchequer Bonds are 98i. Foreign investments are very dull, but prices are generally maintained. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been 95/ to and 951 g. They are now 95 4 .11. The 4 per Cent. guaranteed 'are 991. Spanish Deferred, 25i ; Russian Small, and tqnador New Consolidated, 131. The committee of Spanish American Bondholders have announced the failure of their negotiations, and Mr. Mocatta's Mission to Caracas for the purpose of obtaining', a settlement of the Venezuelan debt. _ _ The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 51 6± ; 111 ex can, 21g- ; Peruvian 4;. per Cents., 79 80 Portuguese 3 per Cents., 45 46 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 109 111 ; ditto 4; per Cents., 97 99 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 401 ; ditto Deferred, 251. 1 ; ditto Passive, 51 61. Abqut an average amount of busine3s has been done in the railway share market this morning, but a slight downward tendency may be noticed in Some of the principal lines. The arrangements for the settlement on the 16th inst. being in some instances already in progress, East Anglian, Great Western, and North Eastern (York) declined ss. ; North British 10s., and Shropshire Union 10s. ; Lancashire and Yorkshire and South Westel n advanced ss. ; and East Lancashire and Mid land 10s. The Foreign and Colonial lines ate 'very] quiet, and at almost nominal quotations. Namur and Liege are a shade lower, and Grand Trunk of Canada have declined rally 11. Mining Shares are dull at about previous quota tions. A very limited business has been reported in Joint Stock Bank Shares. Bank of London have receded ss. ; Ottoman Bank, ss. ; and English, Scottish, and Australian Chartered, ss. In the Miscellaneous Market only two transac tions are reported, National Discount Com pany at 31, Electric Telegraph, which have de clined to IC4.

The leading couartry markets held on Saturday were but moderately supplied with wheat, and the trade ruled steady, on rather higher terms. The barley trade was firm, at full quotations. In the value of other grain very little change took place. On the continent, wheat and other produce have mostly supported previout rates ; but the demand for shipment has not been extensive. In the United States produce generally has ruled heavy. Up to our markets last week the arrivals of English grain wero very moderate. From abroad we received 7,858 quarters of wheat, 8,440 bailey, 26,778 oats, 229 beans, 115 pens, 8,400 linseed, 4,203 rapeseed, 610 mus t tardseed, 3,175 sundry seeds, 278 sacks and 200 barrels of flour. _ _ _ Fresh up to-day from Essex, Kent, &c., the arrivals of wheat wore only moderate, but the general quality of the samples was good. As a fair clearance of the stands was effected on Tuesday the number of samples in the market was by no means large. Owing, in some measure, to their being some large buyers in attendance from Yorkshire, the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled steady, at an advance in the quotations realised on Mon (lay last of is per quarter, and some progress was made in sales. There was a fair show of most kinds of foreign wheat. Good dry samples changed hands steadily, at is to 2s per qr more money, and the value of all other kinds mil well supported. Floating cargoes of grain were in improved'requesf. We bad' an active inquiry for barley, and pikes ad vanced is to 2s per qr. Fino malt was held at full quotations. Inferior qualities wore very dull. Very few home-grown oats were on offer, but the supply of foreign was moderately good. Tho oat trade ruled firm at very full prices. Bean=, the supply of which was moderate, sold steadily at extreme rates. We had a good demand for peas at full quotations. The flour trade was steady, and country markets were rather clearer.

A full average supply of home-fsd beasts was received fresh up to-day from the north ; but their general quality was inferior. The primest breeds wero in steady request, at prices quite equal to Monday last. Otherwise the beef trade was in a sluggish state, yet we have no actual change to notice in the quotations. Flom Litusolnshir , ?, Leicestershire, and Northampton shire, we received 2,700 short-horns ; from other parts of England, 270 of various breeds ; .frOm Scotland, 24 Scots ; and from Ireland, 495 oxen, via Liverpool. There was a slight falling off in the shod of sheep, and nest breeds came to hand in but middling condition. The Mutton trade ruled steady, at last week's currency. The priruest Downs sold at 53 4d per Sibs. Prime lambs were firm in prices ; but inferior breeds ruled heav y. Although the supply of calves was rather limited, the veal tra , lo ruled heavy, and prices were 21 to 4d per 81bs lower than on Monday last. The few pigs in the market realised rather more money.

This morning the September Session of this Court commenced at the Old Bailey, before the Lord Mayor, R. Gurney, Esq., Recorder ; Aldermen Farncombe, Sir F. G. Moon, Sir R. W. Carden, M.P., and Phillips ; Mr. Sheriff Mechi, and Mr. Under-Sheriff Crowley. There are 72 prisoners for trial. There was a very small attendance of grand jurors, and it was with difficulty the grand jury could be formed. The whole of the absentees who omitted to send legiti mate excuses to the Court were fined 101. each. Several of those who attended asked to be excused on the ground of their being over 60 years of age, but they were informed by the Lord Mayor that age did not re lieve them, in this court, from discharging the duties of grand jurors, ptovided they felt themselves physically capable of doing so. They all appeared ',o be strong, healthy men, in the full possession of their faculties, and ❑ot liking to be considered infirm in any particular they went into the box and were sworn. _ _ The Recorder, in addressing the grand jury, adverted to the bill introduced last session for the aboli tion of grand juries, and said 'that when he laet discharged his duties in that cow t, ho scarcely imagined he should have to address another gland jury there, believing that the bill then before Parliament would have been passed into a law. That was not the proper place to discuss measures that might have engaged the attention of Parliament, but this he might say, that the grand jury system stood on a very different footing in that court from other parts of the country, because they had to enquire into cases that bad been before fully in vestigated by magistrates of learning and experience, and in which there could' be but very slight legal diffi culties. The bill, however, was withdrawn, he believed, from the shortness of the session, and as the institution still exlsted, grand juries would have to con tinue to discharge the duties which by law were imposed on there. The cases to be tried were few in number, owing probably to the short time that had elapsed since the last sessions, but he regretted to say that several of them were of a very serious description. There were no less than three charges of wilful murder, and two of wcuuding with intent to murder. One of the cases of murder was of a peculiar character—that of Antonio de Salvi, for the murder of a person named Robertson, a pri soner at the time in the Qieen's Beach Prison. Thelearned gentleman having stated the particulars of the case and the fact of Salvi's trial and conviction of the former ses sions for wounding, with intent to murder, informed the jury that it, would be their duty to put the case in train for further investigation in that Court; the circumstance of the prisoner's having been tried for another offence did not in any way affect them. The second case of murder was that of Cornelius Denny, between whom and the deceased there was some ecufliling, when the accused stabbed deceased with a knife, from the effects of which he died ; and the third case of murder was that of James Preston, who, whilst a prisoner in Horsemonger-lane Goal, struck the deceased, another prisoner, on the head with a pail, from the effects of which he died. There might be some questions arise as to the prisoner's sanity, but they had nothing to do with them. They would have to be con sidered In that court, and if it were found that the pri soner was insane, he would be confined in all probability for life. The two cases of attempted murder were—one that of a convict who inflicted serious injuries upon the warder of the prison in which he was confined, and the other that of a woman who attempted to destroy her child by strangulation. Neither would pre sent any difficulty to them. The only other ease requiring notice from him was that of a young man charged with uttering a false certificate of baptism to obtain a situa tion in a public department. In some departments of the public service persons were not admitted under a certain age, and in order to secure admission the accused altered the certificate given to him by the clergyman, which represented his age as 17 years, best ad of, as in reality, 15 years. The grand jury then left the Court to enter on their duties. RIVAL CANDLE MASERS.-PRICE AND CO. V. BANWENS AND CO.-CHARGE OF PERJURY. Edward Hastings, a respetably-dressed man, described as a labourer, was indicted for wilful and corrupt per jury. The defendant pleaded not guilty. Mr. Sergeant Parry and Mr. Sleigh prosecuted. Sir F. Thessiger, Mr. Huddlestone, Q C., Mr. Bodkin, and Mr. Giffard defended. It appeared from the opening statement of the learned Sergeant that the trial would occupy the court a consi derable period from the complicated details involved. The defendant is a labouring man possessing considera ble skill and ingenuity, and at the same time of the alleged commission of the vffence he was in the employ ment of Price's Patent Candle Company, but pre vious to that he was for about twelve months in the employment of Bauwen's Candle Company, Ranelagh-road, Pimlico. On the 10th October, 1856, he left their employ, and went into Price's employ about a ltrtnight after. After the defendant went into Price's employ proceedings were taken bythem inChancery agait st Bauwen's for an alleged infringement of the former 's patent for melting tallow, which it was said were founded on the defendant's statements, and subsequently, by a trial at nisi prius on the 2 , 1 of July last, at Guildhall, before Lord Campbell, when the main issue was found, it was contended by the prosecution for Price and Co. on the defendant's evidence, in which was contained the alleged perjury. The details of the case present no feature of general interest to the ordinary reader, and is likely to occupy the attention of the Court at least for two days. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day. WESTMINSTER,. AN IRISH BOW.—DESPERATE ASSAULTS ON THE POLlCE.—Jeremiah Connell, Cornelius Sheen, Ann Connell and Richard Connell, were placed at the bar before Mr. Arnold, charged under the following circum stances : Geo. Finnie, 174 B, said—On Saturday night last, at a quarter to twelve, I was on duty in Great Peter street, and saw the prisoner Jeremiah standing at the " Grey Coat Boy" drunk and causing a disturbance, a mob being around him I went up to him and tried to persuade him to go away. lie bad some beer which he had taken from some one inside in a pot, the contents of which he threw over me, and followed that up by strik ing me with his fist ani attempted to strike me with the pot. I then knocked him down with my fist, when he got up and punched my head. I took him into cus tody and he was very violent, kicking all who came near him all the way to the station. The prisoner Sheen came up and struck me a very violent blow while I was taking Connell to the station, and dragged hold of me by the collar. He was very drunk. John Davis, 154 B—l went to the assistance of Finnic. who had hold of Jeremiah Connell, he was very violent, kicking every one. He struck and kicked me'despe mtely over the eye. Sheen came up and said he would take him away ; the female prisoner kept laying hold of several constables and endeavoured to pull them away. Jeremiah was at het so violent that it was nee :wary to get a stretcher and' the assistance of several other con stables. William Gearing, 86 B—l went to the assistance of the other constables, who were endeavouring to take Jeremiah Connell into custody. He was exceedingly violent and kicked me very severely in the heal and also several times in the privates, which hurt me very much, from which lam now suffering. Ann Connell followed the constables to the station, dragged hod of them repeatedly and incited the crowd to rescue the prisoner Jeremiah. She also kicked me in the legs, but havizig no shoes on did not hurt me very much. Richard Connell, assisted by others, threw a great number of stones, and one of them struck me on the head ; I believe the prisoner Richard Connell threw it. I took Ann and Richard Connell into custody. William Dighton, 75 B—l went to the assistance of my brother constables. Jeremiah Connel was very violent, kicking and plunging. We got him as far as Peter-street, when several stones struck me in succes sion. I went out into the road in order to discover who it was that was throwing, when I was struck again on the side of the head with another stone. I saw Sheen run up to Daws and strike him on the head, when I took him into custody. The woman was trying to get Jeremiah away. Jeremiah said the constables struck Lim first, and Sheen, that he was so drunk he knew nothing about it. Ann and Richard Connell told a long, rambling story about going to help the one, their son, and the other his brother. It having been stated that in consequence of the violence of the prisoners, Davis and Gearing were dis abled from attending to their duty, Mr. Arnold said that the prisoner Jeremiah Con nell had, without the least provocation, committed a series of assault', and had been the cause of the whole tran-action, which had assumed a very serious aspect, and almost might be called a riot, several persons in the crowd having ill-used the constables and thrown stones at them, whereby they had been-disabled. Sheen who knew nothing about the prisoner, appearedthis dis- to have been very drunk, and merely to have joined in turbance in order to ill-treat the police, who were law fully executing thei r dut y . In consideration of Ann Connell being the m other of the Colinas, and probably en deavouring on that account merely to get h away, be should fine her 10s., or in default to comm as it bad her for seven days. Richard Connell appeared be as the others. He should commit Jeremiah Connell r one month to hard labour in the House of Correction, Sheen for 14 days, Ann Connell, 10s., or seven days, and Richard Connell 14 days. 8 5 LORD CLAR'ii,NDON AND THE MORNING JOURNALS. ( Front the Morning Advertiser. ) The conduct of Lord Clarendon towards the ge nerality of the London Press, in connection with the present state of affairs in India, is reprehensible in the highest degree, and were Parliam en t now sitting, the noble lord might depend ou it that his conduct would be made the subject of severe and merited censure. Anxious to curry favour with the Times, and merging the high character of a Mieise ter of the Crown in that of the ignoble character of a parasite of our contemporary, Lord Clarendon engaged some weeks ago to let the Times have a pri ority, over all the other journals, of information from India. The arrangement was, that the intel ligence received by Government by telegraph from the East should be transmitted by the Foreign Office to that journal on the instant of its arrival. Of course, Lord Clarendon would not dare to let the Times have the intelligence exclusively. That would have been an experiment on the forbearancJ of the other journals, and on that of the public as well, which the Foreign Secretary had not the coerage to make. Still, in the way we have men tioned, the Foreign-office favouritism was shown to the Times, by giving it the eerliestinte!ligence, leaving it to our contemporary to let the other papers have copies of what was sent by Lard Cla rendon a couple of hours afterwards. Now, to those who are acquainted with the practical working of the press, it must be obvious that our contemporary of Printing-house-square has, in th's way, a great advantage over all the other journals. Before they have the slightest idea of what the nature of the intelliee nee is, the Times can have written its leading ar ticle on it. Last night, at eight o'clock, we re ceived iuformat ion that the telegraph despatch from India had been transmitted to the Times, and we were informed by the Foreign Office that at ten we would get a slip from Printing-house-square. This, it will be observed, was an interval of two hours. Now, why such an interval, assuming it to be at all defensible that the Times should get the despatch first ? The whole thing might, with the greatest ease, have bean got ready for the other journals in a quarter of an hour. But the Times had its object to serve. Had the despatch been received at one or two o'clock this morning, the delay would not only have been injurious to the other journals, tut would havecausod them very serious inconvenience. It would have precluded the possibility of their publishing any comments of their own on the intel ligence in the same impression of their respective papers. But this is not all. We charge Lord Clarendon, or those acting under him, and for whose conduct he is consequently responsible, with a breach of faith in this matter. Anticipating the indignation of our contemporaries and ourselves at this marked and invidious preference of the Times, Lord Cla rendon caused, a few days ago, a circular to be ad dressed to the offices of each of our morning con temporaries, as well as to that of this journal, say ing, that whenever the telegraphic contents of the Indian mail reached the Foreign-office at a suffici ently early hour to admit of copies being taken for each of the other morning papers, copies would be sent to them contemporaneously with the copy sent to the Times. The Foreign-office has not fu.'filled its promise ;it has broken faith with us all. Tee despatch arrived at seven o'clock, and surely that was a sufficiently early hour to admit of copies being taken. Half-a-dozen clerks would have transcribed the requisite number of copies in fifteen or twenty minutes, or three clerks would have done it in half an hour or forty minutes. The conduct, therefore, of Lord Clarendon in this matter is, we repeat, reprehensible in the highest degree ; and we shall be surprised it one and all of our contemporaries do not denounce it in those terms of indignation which such flagrant unfairness to them and to us, and such pitiable truckling to the Times, so richly deserve. If our contemporaries are only true to themselves,—if they but vindicate, with becoming spirit, their own rights, and tell Lord Clarendon, in plain terms, that they will not submit to the indignity which he puts upon them, and the injustice he does alike . to themselves and their readers, wo venture to say that his Lordship will not have the temerity to act in the same way on the arrival of the next Indian mail. ETON COLLEGE. The vacation, which commenced on the 27th July, terminated on Wednesday last, on which day the lower boys and colleges arrived—the fifth form returned on Thursday, and the sixth form on Fri day and Saturday, when the whole school assem bled. There has been au increase in the numbers, although many left at the election vacation. As both Harrow and Winchester have been allowed an extra week's holiday this vacation, it was anticipated the same would have been the case at Eton. However, as the marriage of the Princess Royal—probably at Windsor—is approaching, it hss been thought advisable by the authorities to postpone the extra week until it can be given in honour of that auspicious event. During the re cess the removals consequent upon the Rev. E. Coleridge's appointment as Fellow have taken place as follows :—The Rev. E. Qoleridge, to his official residence in the cloi,ters ; the Rev. J. L. Joynes, to the Rev. E. Colridge's ; the Rev. W. L. Hardisty, to the Rev. J. L. Joynes's ; and At tiwell Waterlield, Esq., to the Rev. W.- L. Har disty's. The vacation has also witnessed the necessary preparations at St. John's Church for the reception of the Lower School (generally about a hundred) the organ has been removed to a chamber in the tower, which, from the erection of the church, was always intended for a larger instrument, and the seats in the chantry have been lengthened to the full width, so that the whole of the lower school will, by these means, be accommodated in that part of the sacred edifice. The most important building operation of the vacation has been the ex tensive alterations in the College Hall, which has been almost entirely rebuilt from the designs of Woodyesr, Eiq., brother-in-law of the Rev. W. L. Elliott. Little more than the walls of the old hall remain. There is a new open timber roof of chaste design, and also new east and west traceried windows. The entrance to the hall is intended to be dosed, and a gallery ~built Over the buttery for the accommodation of visitors, and ladies in particular, who may be invited to witness the col lege festivals. The whole of the work in the hall has been expeditiously executed by Messrs. - Wheeler, of Reading. When, as is eventually in tended, a new tesselated pavement has been sub stituted for the present flag-stones, the College hall will almost equal in architectural beauty the Col lege-chapel. Until the completion of these impor tant alterations the King's scholars dine in the election chamber. THE HERRING FISHERIES.-REPORTED - - GREAT LOSS OF LIFE. WICK, Thursday.—A shocking catastrophe oc curred off this place last night. About 500 boats had left early in the evening for the fisheries. They had not been gone long before it came on to blow a gale fr an the east. When the boats wore running back for refuge the greatest confusion ensued amongst them, and by some unfortunate mishap, one was run down, having on board, it is supposed, about 18 fishermen, all or whom met with a watery ffrave. On instituting inquiry , it is found that 6 there are several of the boats missing, and it is feared that they have been overcome by a gale. At five o'clock the Coast-guard, seeing one of the boats in. distress, put off in a cutter to her a'd, un der the charge of Captain Tudor, R.N. In its passage the boat got filled, and one man was washed overboard. Owing to the disabled state of the craft and the oars being washed away, no assistance could be rendered to the poor fellow, who, after swimming about some time, sank in the view of hundred of persons, who had assembled on the cliffs. OPENING OF A NEW HIGHLAND BRIDGE BY THE QUEEN. —The river Dee, which takes its rise in a low moorland in the counties of Aberdeen and Banff, converges into a gulloy which is known as the "Linn of Dee," and is an eject of very romantic interest to strangers. This lien was spa cued by a bridge of one arch of very ancient style, which had been found rather inconvenient, when the Earl of Fife had a new G othic bridge built instead of it, the opening of which byhe Queen was the occasion of another " Highland gathering " on Tuesday. . The Earl and Countess of Fife bad made great preparations It was for the event. On the road towards the bridge a trium phal a supported by four columns and surmounted s _ by crown, phal arch was erected of colossal dim • teraperscd on the facings, the abutments scroll work being done with healer and flowers, and monograms in having two highlanders extemporised as guards. A tent was erected On the lawn, which was elegantly deco rated, and the whole carriage drive for a quarter of a mile wag lined by the Duff and Farquharson Highlanders under their chiefs. On the centre of the bridge the Countess of Fife and Viscount I\2'lluff stood, the latter with a silver salver, four glasses, and a small decanter t g h ti e ee tb s er A de n e t n h j e c m it . y y ” with whisky . When the Queen arrived her Majesty was received with much chee , r , i t n h g e , bridge,Qtieen a vi n h d e t r h e e he Prince Majesty Consort w as band and the pipers playing The the proceeded towards pleared to partake of a glass of whisky, drinking " Success to the now bridge," in which toast the Prince Consort, the other members of the Royal family, and the disting uished guests present h ear tily j o i ne d. The Queen then walked to the tent leaning on the arm of the Ear l of Fife, par took of some refreshment, and soon after left the scene amid the cheers of the people. The scene altogether was onu of an imposing character, and will long be re -. membered in the district of Mar. Farina, a Tegewl of Co:ogne. By Geo. Meredith, Author of "The Shaving of Shagpat," 85c. Smith, Elder, and Co. j " The Shaving of Shagpat" was, as its raader3 will remember, an oriental tale, distinguished by its vivid originality and luxuriant imagination.. The present volume posse:meg much of the same cha racter, and the reader who delights in novelty will certainly be gratified. It is a tale of German life some centuries ago—of the wealthy and hospiJable Gottlieb Groschen, and his fair daughter Maro•arita, and his prim sister Lisbeth ; of Farina, the dis tiller of essences ; of the bold Guy the Goshawk - , the stout English soldier ; of the outlaw Baron Werner and hi s l aw l ess b an d, and similar charac ters. It may b e eas il y be conjectured what a var:e.l drama the author's vigorous pen. C 331 evoke from such - materials, not to mention the White Rose Club, Father Gregory, and Sathana!, the Kaiser himself, and many lesser mortals. The narrative occupies but a few days, but wonderful are the adventures chronicled. The old merchant has his life and property threatened, but .escapes uninjured. Tne fair Margarita is captured by Wer ner's band, and rescued by the bold Goshawk. the devoted Farina, and a mysterious Wateir Lady. The White Rose Club contrive to render themselves ridiculous. Farina gets into a series of , lifficultie3, from all of which he is happily extticAted by hi s admirable invention ; and a happy - wedding re joices the inhabitants of Cologne nearly m much as the new discovery. The mere facts, however, give no idea of the thorough adoption of Crerman life and legends which particularly distiuguishee the book. The very mysticism and disconne of the parts help to render it complete iu thi.s respect ; and no i n considerable degree of. talent is evincel by the maintenance of its characterist'ic features. Taken as what it professes to be, a leg - cmci of German life in olden clays, it does the author great credit by i.*_s vivid adaptation of national feat a rc s. We are glad to meet him again in this ne - w path, in which he has already taken some adveu.turous steps, and should he proceed iu the samr, style his success will no doubt be commensurate, with his abilities.' Autobiography of Lutfullah, a Mohantedan, Gen- Vonan. Edited by E. B. Eastwicke, F.R.S. Smith and Elder. This is a very curious and interesting volume which commends itself to the attention of the reader, both from the importance just now attached to the real sentiments and opinions of the Mahome dan population of India, and from the singular cir cumstance of the author having written it in Eng lish. He gives an account of his life and adven tures, interspersed with saga 'reflections. He entered various kinds of political service, and was finally engaged as secretary and interpreter to Mir Jafir Ali, an Indian prince, who visited England to obtain some compensation from the East India Company. The office of interpreter he was well qualified to fill, as by his abilities and perseverance he had mastered several languages, and was familiar with many European works. It is curious to meet with quotations from English and Latin write; s, all of which, we are told by the editor, are of Lut fullati's own insertion. Here is his account of his study of the English language While employed as Minister to an English gentleman, the Bheel agent at Natcha. "At night I enjoyed the good society o' Abba Miyau, of whom I learned the English alpha bet, and enabled myself to make out the words from dictionaries, and read Hindustani and Persian fluently in the Roman character. From this time until the end of 1829 I never went to bed without learning ten words of Englith by heart, and read ing a few pages of the eminent Dr. GilchrisYs grammatical works with full attention by myself. Thu's, after the hard labour of full eight years, I learnt English, the most difficult language in the world." That his learning was not of a superficial character is evidenced by the style and grammar of this work. There are Orientalisms and curious phrases, but much of it might have been written by an Englishman, and it reflects the highest credit on Lutfullah. On their way to Eu rope he and his chief visited Mohamed Ali. Their interview is thus described : "We were conducted by a state officer, splendidly dressed, to a spacious room at the northern corner, and there we saw the old famous prince, Mohamed Ali Paslir, plainly attired in a red Turkish cap and a blue cloth coat descending to his knees ; and then being introduced to him, each of us touching his highness' right hand with his, kissed it, according to the Turkish form of compli ments, and then seated ourselves on the divan , in l i n e to the right of the old prince. Two pairs of valuable Cashmere Shawls were then presented by Mir Jafir Ali Khan, and were kindly accepted by his highness. Now three heads and tongues were employed to interpret, i.e., I explained my young master's expressions to Mr. Tibaldie, in Eng lish, and Mr. Tibaldie to his highness' principal dra goman (or interpreter) in French, and the interpreter to his highness in Turkish. The mutual compliments were but very short, and then my young master began ad dressing himself to his highness in the usual flattering mode of the English princes. He observed that he had always heard about the well-regulated good Govern. went wisely constituted and personally conducted by his highness ; that he thanked heaven ha had now an ocular demonstration of the same, and found that all he had heard was nothing but truth. To this the old Pasha replied, "Something is done, but a great deal more remains to be done." After this, his highness put several questions on the system of the English Govern ment in India, which were duly replied to in short but comprehensive answers. The coffee then being ordered, was brought in, and being presented to each of us, we rose in turns, and kissing our own hands to his highnese, as a Turkish homage, we drank it in the same way an Englishman drinks his ft iend'e health, and then get ting our leave, returned home well satisfied with the in terview with an extraordinary man, who, although an unlettered soldier once, yet had raised himself to the summit of sovereignty, like the European Cromwell and Buonaparte and our own Haidar and Ranjit." His opinions and impressions of London life are very amusing. Here is an account of his first entry into the metropolis. " In a few minutes, two nice carriages, drawn by horses of gigantic make and power, being brought near, we got up into them and drove into the far-famed City of London. Street after street and square after square that we passed through for about three-quarters of an hour, were all pave.), clean and regular, thronged with the busy inhabitants of both sexes, almost all the females good looking, and the males well made and active. Pe.- laces of nobles and dukes are distinguished by their large porticos and superior construction. In one of them I saw two well-dressed men with ashes sprinkled over their beads, and thereby concluding that some death might have occurred in the house, I told Mr. Scott, who sat by me, that a mournful event might have been the cause of the dust on their heads ; but the young man laughed at my beard, and said it was the old custom still preserved by some of powdering their hair. Upon the whole, one might imagine that this vast city, whose population is no less than 20 lakhs of inhabitants, con tained the riches of the whole world. Surrounded by such wonders and curiosities, we travelled on to a qua -- ter termed Brook-street, and alighted at a magnificent house, called Mive7t's Hotel. "Supplied with all kinds of luxuries suitable to princes, we lived in this inn for three days, and then our chief being frightened at the enormous charges of about two hundred rupees per diem, engaged a private lodging, No. 7, Sloane-street." Their visits to the Museum and all the sights of London are carefully recorded, and their reception appears to have been cordial. They went back having obtained their object, but it is with regret the reader learns, after all bis wander ings, that the adventurous Lutfullah finds " his domestic cares aggravated, his years advan ced, and his income inadequate to coverese f s• penses of a large family." He h comforts the hi phi v lo o s hun op e y w 'll afford him more substantial consolation. , trust .and e with t h l is mt entertaininguttuisalvelViryaliedan --- The New Law of Marriage and Divorce Popularly Explained.
