Mn = . yMARKET AND COM:YIEROTAL INTELLIGENC], Another Rise in the Rate of Discount. CITY, THREE O'CLOCK. The Bank of England have this afternoon raised the rate of discount to 8 per cent. Consols are 88 to 88k. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed with a firm appearance, and prices of all descrip tions were fully maintained. The sales amounted to 7,000 bales, 2,000 of which were taken by the speculators. The Railway Share Market closed rather active, and a good business was transacted at fulrquotations. . In the manufacturing trade of the north of England, the unsatisfactory intelligence received from the United States, and the adverse situation of monetary affairs, are exercising a prejudicial in fluence. The utmost caution is being observed, business is visibly contracted, and the failures which are occurring, promote au unsettled feeling This state of things, however, must have been fully anticipated from recent events, and on the whole it may be considered encouraging that greater inconvenience has not been produced. The chief markets to which goods are sent, viz., the American, Australian, and Indian, are all more or less depressed, and the result is that manufac turers are limiting their operations, and trade is becoming very dull. In addition to the inactivity of export businon other difficulties have to be contended against, such as the high rate of discount and the dearness of both cotton and wool. In Leeds, however, there appears to hare been a good deal of anima tion last week, the winter trade having sustained the inquiry for goods, and the manufacturers and others are preceding very cautiously. The effects of the present disturbed condition of monetary concerns az e consequentlyless severely felt than would other wise have been the case. At Bradford, on the contrary, business has been very stagnant. At a recent meeting of the creditors of Mr. Ferguson, stuff merchant of Bradford and Manchester, it was stated that his assets were about 24,0001., and the liabili ties 41,0001. Up to the present time the commer cial interest of Glasgow appears to have suffered more than that of any other town. In addition to the failures lately announced, that of Messrs. Whan, M'Lean, and Co., of Glasgow, and Hamilton, Canada, was reported on Saturday ; the liabilities are supposed to be large. The abstract of American news n'coived from the outport, by telegraph, contained so much in fer' nation tilt the letters and papers delivered this marning afford little additional intelligence, but they fully warrant the presumption that some time must elapse before the effects of the financial and conamercial crisis shall have passed away. While a portion of the New York press oppresses the most gloomy views on the aspect of affairs, some of the leading journals, on the other hand, in cline to the belief that when the turning point it attained a steady improvement will ensue. The demand for money in Lombard-street and at the Bank is still comparatively moderate, and the supply is ample for all legitimate purposes. Bill brokers and others, however, exer eis.e great discrimination with respect to the paper they negotiate, and those firms who are not in the enjoyment of good credit are necessarily much in oonvenienced. The continental money markets are getting tighter, and the rile in the Hamburg rate of discount to 9} per cent. has increased the appre hension that most of the banks in the other cities will be compelled to impose additional restrictions. It is now ascertained that the steamer Indus, which leaves Southampton to-morrow for India and China, will take out 777,1211. in specie. The following are the particulars : Aden (silver) Bombay (silver) Bombay (gold) Ceylon (silver) Ceylon (gold) Madras (silver) Madras (gold) Calcutta (silver) Calcutta (gold) Penang (silver) Singapore (silver) Singapore (gold) Hong Kong (silver) Shanghai (silver) £3,330 0 0 223,385 0 0 11,200 0 0 200 0 0 1,000 0 0 28,335 0 0 16,296 0 0 420,073 0 0 11,075 0 0 3,833 0 0 18,690 0 0 2,050 0 0 27,276 0 0 10,363 0 0 Total £777,121 0 0 The market for public securities has been very heavy to-day, and when business commenced a de cline ofl per cent. was established. This depres sion !was mainly' produced by the unfavourabie news from America, and the fel.r that the Bank would immediately raise the rate to 8 per cent. No alteration in the discount regulations having been made, however, the market has since been firmer, and a recovery of per cent. has taken place. It is generally believed that the fall in tbe first instance would have been greater if the publiclhad not come forward as buyers. There is a steady demand for stock, and this renders the market some support. Consols for money have been 881 f, and 88i 4. For the account they have been 88i and 881 The present prices are now 881 and 88i 1 respectively, being flatter again. The New Three per Cents. are marked 87/ and the Reduced 88/ t, Bank Stock is 213, Exchequer Bills are 10s. to 6s. discount, and the Bonds 98g. Foreign Securities are also rather depressed, and a large business has been transacted. Turkish 6 per Cents. have declined to 87ii and they are now 871. The 4 per Cents. are 97i. Some of the other stocks have been as follows :—Brazilian 5 per Cents., 100 ; Chilian 5 per Cents.. 102 ; Danish 5 per Cents., 1001 ; Mexican 3 per Cents., 19. ; Peruvim 41 per Cents., 76.77 ; Ditto 3 per Cents., 521 31 ;"Russian per per Cents., 951 ; Sardinian 5 per Cents., 89 ; Dutch 21 per Cents., 631 ; and Ditto 4 per Cents., 971 4. _ The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks : Greuada, Deferred Bonds, 5 6 ; an, 19 19i ; Peruvian 4i per Cents., 75 77 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 43 44 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 105 108 ; ditto 4,i per Cents., 95 97 ; Span ish 3 per Cents., 40i 401 ; ditto Deferred, 25 25i. A. deoline of about to 1 per cent. has taken place on most of the leading Railway Shares this morning, prices having been influenced by the de ' cline in the Consol Market. Elstern Counties, South-Western, and North Stafford declined 55.; East Lancashire, Great Western, Midland, North- Eastern (Ber wick), and South Devon, 10s. ; Lanca shire and Yorkshire, and South-Eastern, 15s. ; North-Eastern (York), North-Western, Brighton, Great Northern, and Caledonian, 1/. The Foreign and Colonial lines were also slightly depressed. Paris and Lyons receded 55., Grand Trunk of Canada 21., and Great Western of Canada 10s. Mining Shares have been neglected, and aro at quite nominal rates. Joint Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares have been dealt in to a very limited extent. Bank of Australasia have declined ss. ; London and West minster, Oriental Bank, and South Australia Now Shares, were at previous values.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were fairly supplied with wheat, and the trade ruled heavy, at droop ing prices. Fine barley realised full quotations. All other kinds of produce met a dull inquiry. The French markets have continued very inactive for both wheat and flour, on lower terms. In Germany, the grain trade has continued heavy, and, in the United States, prices have fallen to a shipping point. The arrivals of home-grown produce up to our market last week were on the increase, and the imports from abroad were liberal, viz., 30,216 qu Irters of wheat, 9,389 barley, 30,843 oats, 503 beans, 830 peas, 9,550 linseed, 590 . rapeseed, 170 mustard seed, 1,210 sundry seeds, 207 sacks and 3,765 barrels of flower. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to our market to-day were only moderate, and, owing to the continu ance of damp weather, many of the samples were somewhat out of condition. The attendance of millers was by no means numerous, and the demand for all kinds of wheat of home produce ruled heavy, at a decline in the quota tions realised on Monday last of fully 2s. per quarter. The Kentish stands were not cleared at a late hour. There was rather an increase in the show of foreign wheat, and the bulk of the late arrival consists of good _ . elund useable qualities. — The trade ruled heavy in the extreme, and the few sales effected were at a fall in value compared with this day son'night, of from is to fully 2s per quarter. Floating cargoes of grain were much less active, but no. Fine barley sold to a moderato extent, at full prices ; but grinding and distilling sorts were heavy, and quite 1■ per quarter cheaper. Malt sold almost wholly in retail quantities at last week's prices. _ _ Wo were well supplied with oats, is which there was much less activity. Good sound parcels supported previ ous rates, but damp qualities gave way 6d to is per qr. The few beans on offer ruled dull, at barely stationary prices. In peas very little was doing, at late rates. The flour trade was dull, and country marks were fully is per 280 lbs lower. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

There was rather an extensive show of foreign stock in 4,1 2 - 3 to-day's :market in fair condition. The trade ruled heavy, at drooping prices. The arrivals of boasts fresh up to onr market to-day from the north were rather on tho lactase, and their general weight was far superior to last week. As the dead markets were well supplied the beef trade ruled heavy, at Friday's decline in value of 2d per 81bs. The highest quotation was 4s 10.1 per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestersliire, and Northampton shire we received 3,000 short horns; from other parts of England, 350 of various breeds; from Scotland, 15 Scots ; and from Ireland, via Liverpool, 550 oxen. The show of sheep was rather on the increase, yet very moderate compared with former swonn. All breeds met a dull inquiry. Primo Downs declined 2d, other breeds 2d to 41 per Sibs compared with Mcnday last. A few very superior old Downs realised 51 Cd, but the general top figure was 5s Id per Blbs. About 500 sheep came to hand from Ireland. We were, fairly supplied with calves, in which only a limited business was traisacted, at 2d to 4d per 81b less money.

THE LATE HORRIBLE MURDER AND MUTILATION. LATEST PARTICULARS-{THIS DAY.) On inquiry this morning at the Bow-street Police Station, our reporter was informed that Messrs. Homan, of 25, Skinner-street, Snow-hill, had re ceived a letter from Mr. Hugh Pattison, stating that hs was at present in Ireland, and that he should shortly return to London, 'when he would call on them. The supposition of his being the murdered man is set at rest. From reliable information we are enabled to state that this morning Errington, the toll collector at Waterloo-bridge was taken to a house in the Borough to look at a woman supposed to be the person who passed over the bridge with a car pet bag and brown paper parcel the night previous to the discovery of the remains. After spending some time time in her company and conversing with her, he informed the detectives who accom panied him that she was more like the wonvm than either of the others he had previously seen. On the same night a respectable man well known to Errington, passed through the bridge a few seconds before the woman with the carpet-bag, and he has communicated to the police the fact that he can identify her. He says that after passing the turnstile he turned round with the intention of asking Errington for a light for his pipe, but that seeing Errington wrangling with a woman about something he changed his mind, and want on ; the gas light at the bar was, so strong on the woman's face, that he feels convinced he should know her again. Ho will be taken this evening by the police, in company with Errington, to look at the woman above referred to. Pr)fesror Taylor's report will, it is expected, be in the banis of the Government this afternoon. SPORTING NOTES. THE AMERICAN TRIUMPH. The British horses can lick creation and the American horses can lick the British. Such was the boast of Jonathan to John, and the result of the Cesarewitch has proved that it was not altogether unfounded. After a long series of ill-luck, after being one of his most valued horses, Mr. Ten Broeck has met with a turn of fortune which wi'l compensate him for bis many reverses. What will "Porter's Spirit" ear now aft..r all the shameful charges made against the English turf and English racing men ? \Vhat will it say to the American horses achieving their first triumph at Now market—of winning a handicap above All other races— and of being ridden by an English jockey ? Gilpatrick, too, will have cause for boasting; for the statements CvhiJii he made in his very foolish and unwarrantable letter had—it has been proved—truth for their foundation. I wasnot far out in my reckoning when I selected El Hakim for my Cesarewitch champion, and he will perhaps for the Cambridgeshire present even truer claims to confidence and support. There were some strange " incidents" at Newmarket list week. The running of Apathy excited some dis cus 4 , n and it is even said that the owner of the terse will yet be called upon by the Jockey Club to furni h more explanation of the extraordinary circumstances ct'bich attended the performances. After the settling to day, however, I will refer in full to the misting, sketch the most striking incidents, and show the bearing of certain races upon coming events. Turfites go to Warwick as frequently as they do to Newmarket. The October meeting conarneneas there to-morrow, and to judge from the list of sport there will be racing enough to induce people to make the trip. The Great Warwick Handicap seems likely to be a race between Mr. Merry and Mr, Jackson, and I shun wed to see the "blue and white sleeves" borae first past the post by whichever animal it may be carried. r the Castle Park Nursery, the Roso of Cashmere colt and Polly Johnson are the most attractive names. Codrington and Lymington ought, to be the most promi. 'lent competitors for the Welter Cup. At present it is too early in the season for me to deal with the jumpers. The sport at Kelso is almost attractive enough to draw southern turfites into the north. If El Hakim and Queen Bess be sent to fight their Cesarewitch battle over again for the Roathurgh Handicap, their encounter will excite an interest which will be shared by all classes of racing mon. They meet on precisely the same terms that they did at Newmarket, and therefore the horse is entitled to the preference. The absence of one, how ever, would seemingly insure the success of the other. For the Kelso Plate I shall take Logie o'Buchan and Sunrise. The second day's racing will depend so much upon the issue of to-morrow's' events that I shall not refer to it. A FRESH MAN. ONE OP THE BEST LIVINGS IN THE CHURCH OP ENG LAND.— The rectory of Stoke-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, liAs become vacant by the death of the Rev. J. W. Tom linson. It is worth upwards of 3,0001. a-year. There are only two livings in the Church which exeeed this in annual value—namely, the rectory of Stanhope, Durham, worth 5,0001. a-year, and the rectory of Doddington, Cambridgeshire, which is worth nearly 8,0001. a-year. GUERIN'S SILT-ACTING RAILWAY BREAK.—This in valuable apparatus is already in daily use on nearly the whole of the French railways, as will be seen from the following list of the lines which have adopted it : Orleans, Northern, Western, Lyons, Bourbonnais, Southern, and St. Rambert to Grenoble. The Eastern (or Strasbourg) Company are now having it fitted to their carriages.—Mining Journal. WINTER EXEIBITION OP POULTRY AND PIGEONS AT THE CRYSTAL PALACE.—Poultry and pigeon fanciers will be glad to learn that the Crystal Palace Company have arranged to hold their winter show early in January ?Pat. 'The regulations and schedules of prizes are on the same liberal scale as last year, and aro now ready for delivery on application to the Secretary, Mr. William Houghton, at the Palace. We understand there is every probability of a capital show, as birds of all ages are admicable. NEW MUSEUM AT THE INDIA-HOUSE.—Some consider able alterations, to give increased space for the collection of medals and works of Indian art, have been going on at the India-house for some time past under the direc tion of Mr. Digby Wyatt, the present architect of the Company; and, though the directors have now some thing else to think about, the works are being completed and the collection arranged for public inspection. What was the tea saleroom has been transformed into an , Indian court, with columns and arches of Indian fashion, and appropriated mainly to sculptured antiquities, slabs, and figures. Some elaborately cut stone panels of Indian work have been set up to form a screen. The carving of some of the groups displays wonderful finish. The deputy secretary's residence and other parts have been thrown into the museum, and the whole now occupies a considerable space. The amount of the contract is about 2,500/. ; with the fittings the sum will probably amount to 3,5001. Meagre. Hack and S.in, of Poplar, are the contractors. The collection at the India-house is one of great interest. Those who would study Indian archi tecture must go there to do it. Of minute carving and metal-work there are some beautiful specim ens.—Builder. CROSSING SWEEPERS AND SHOEBLACRS.—Mr. Mit chell, a solicitor, accompanied by the secretary of the East London hoeblack Society, applied to the Lord Mayor on Saturday for permission to place a small num ber of boys as crossing sweepers in different parts of the City, under the auspices of the society and the superin tendence of the police; they would wear uniforms, so as to be easily distinguished by the public. They did not in tend that the boys should be paid individually by passers by, but proposed to have a box attached to a post at each crossing, into which the public could pet money or not, as they pleased ; which money would after wards be used for the benefit of the boys by the so ciety, as . was now the case with shoeblacks. The Lord Mayor said he would gladly give his sanction and assist ance with the understanding that no favouritism should be shown, but that the appointment should be open to all honest boys, without exception, under proper regula tions. Mr. Mitchell said that was the intention of the society ; and the Lord Mayor promised to confer with the Police Commissioner upon the subject, in order to see whether such an arrangement could be eatiefactorily wade, LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(This Day.) CITY SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) SMITH V. BERSTED. QUESTION OF COSTS.—In this case Mr. Buchanan appeared for the defendant ; and the plaintiff, who had been plaintiff in another suit, at the sitting of the Court did not appear. Mr. Buchanan applied fer defendant's costs. He would state as a ground for his application that the dlfenco was that the defendant did not even know t'le plaintiff, and never had any dealings with him. His Honour said the plaintiff had been in court, and the application ought to have been made then. Mr. Buchanan said that he of course had no right to ask until the case came on. The plaintiff and Mr. Davies, his solicitor, were in another case an hour before, and t'ley left the court together ; it was evident to him that when plaintiff saw the case was defended, he thought it better not to go on. His Honour, after some hesitation, said he would allow Mr. Buchanan's costs, but it wan putting the plaintiff to a groat Pxpense, as he would Lava to repay the hearing fees paid merely to apply for costs. He therefore should not allow defendant's expenses ; it was contrary to the the rule. Mr. Buohantn—Will your honour then sanction or tolerate that a man should be brought here for nothing and not even allow his expenses. ' Mr. Ashley (solicitor) ;aid that in the Shoreditch and other courts it was the uriver.•al rule to allow casts when plaintiffs did not appear or were non-suited. His Honour—Well, we bad never done it here. Mr. Ashley—ls it not better to begin now, then—it is never too late to mend. (Laughter.) ,His Honour—But every alteration is not an amend ment for the better. We are very molerate in the City. Mr. Ashley—Yes, the City is moderate in all things His Honour said he could not make an exception to the genezal rule. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. Day.) MA.RLBOROUGH STREET. ALLEGED CHARGE OF CHILD MIIRDER.—Anna described nn the charge-sheet as a needlewoman, residing at No 3, Golden-ball Court, Lit Act Compton-street, was brought beforkMr. Bingham, charged with causing the death of her infant child, Frances Agnes Miller, by neglecting to supply it with fit and proper nourishment. Frances Whittaker, widow, No. 5, Bercard-street, said on Saturday evening about six o'clock the prisoner, to whom she was known as a district visitor for St. Anne's and St. Mary's parishes for about three months, came into her shop with a baby in her arms about six weeks old. Witness spoke to her, when she said the baby was in a fit. She unwrapped the baby, and to her great astonisbment she found it was dead. This circum stance so overcame her that for a moment she could not speak. At last she called a young woman tr, look at it, and she declared the child was dead. This the prisoner denied, apparently more in contradiction to her statement. Witness at onto went to the surgeon's, who was out, and she subsequently went to Mr. Cham bers., the incumbent, and on explaining the matter to him he advised her to call a policeman, winch she did. The prisoner then said ;t was all her husband's fault. Witness had seen the child at 10 o'clock the same morn ing, when it seemed to be quite well. Witness had been in the habit of attending to the child's eyes by the re quest of Dr. Carr, who had noticed that the child was sadly neglected. Witness bad done so for about six weeks, ever since the birth of the chit", and had herself observed that the infant was much neglected, the pri soner at times refusing her the breast. She was not aware of the cause of the child's death. The prisoner's supply of milk had suddenly ceased, as witness thought, in consequence of intemperance. Mr. 11. Jones, surgeon, Soho-square, said he had titmice(' the body of the child carefully. Externally there were no marks of violence. The child was very much emaciated, which might be caused by disease. Wlthent making a post n.ortem examination he was quite unable to tell the cause of death. Mr. Bingham said the first witness had given her evi dence in a very proper manner, but still there was not sufficient evidence to warrant him in detaining the pri soner on the charge of manslaughter. Although the prisoner might be addicted to drink, and neglect her children in consequence, there was nothing to show that she had caused its death from violence or wilful neglect. She must therefore be discharged for the present. 1 4,- Orr 14 7 4.0' ' ttO • p 2UN OFFICE, Seven o'Olock. TATTERSALL'S—(This Evening.)

WESTMINSTER. FEROCIOUS Aseatrur.---This day John Walsh, an Irish labourer, residing at No. 2, Exeter-buildings, Sloane• street, was charged before Mr. Paynter with a most vio lent and ferocious assault on John Scantier, living in the same neighbourhood, by severely biting him on the cheek, and also with assaulting Dobson, B 177. The complainant, who had several pieces of adhe'ive plaster on the left cheek, and who was scarcely able to speak, said that between 9 and 10 o'clock on Saturday night ho was going to his wife with a pair of boots. Olt his way the prisoner accused him of having been the cause of his (prisoner's) imprisonment for a month. Com plainant denied this, and went away. After he left his wife he again met the prisoner, who made a similar charge respecting another man. Complainant told him that he was a liar. The prisoner observed that he (com plainant) was one, and struck him. Complainant was knocked down, and while he was on the ground the pri soner fixed his teeth on complainant's cheek, and " bit him as if he would eat him." Complainant was released from the prisoner by some persons. lie made his escape, and complainant was conveyed to St 'George's Hospital. P. lice-constable Pinder said that on Sunday morning about 10 o'clock, wailer at the Station-house, be heard of the assault on the complainant, and apprehended the prisoner in Hyde Park. Dobson said that he endeavoured to take the prisoner into custody on the evening in question. The prisoner resisted, and said that he would not go. Witness got another constable to assist him, and tried to persuade the prisoner t) go quietly, but he refused, and knocked him down. While on the ground, he kicked witness about the body, and then he bit his fingers on the left band. (The witness had his baud in a sling.) Mr. Paynter said that the assault was of a very serious character, that he should remand the prisoner, and that when brought up again, he would most likely send him Er trial. The prisoner was then remanded. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.) rLONDON. Oct. 19.—Wind this day at noon, E.; light breeze, and cloudy. PORTSMOUTH, Oct. 18.—Wind, S. S.

By Mrs. Thomson, author of " Coustauee," &c. 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. This story is diversified in its interest ; indeed, a striking assemblage of persons is presented to the notice in its course. The scene is laid almost en tirely abroad, but the reader has for th e mos t par t to do with the natites of our country on a for e i gn described. M ai e lt s wa ilad. fYeing is a pro m i nen t Some c r i me i n , wellsskielich,SiarndClhaudieisus which he was implicated in early youth cast a shade over his entire life, and while it prevented him from forming advantageous connections, it drew him on imperceptiblyto lower himself still further. He was too much a polished man of the world to err superficially, hence he never lost his position in the shining saloon, or at the gorgeous banquet hall, but his name was sullied. Irene, his unhappy daughter, attiacts and interests, from her forlorn. position and uncertain prospects. Sir Claudius was a cruel guardian to one so gentle and warm hearted. The authoress describes with a touching fidelity the painful passage in the young girl's life when she came to reside with her volatile parent. She had been brought up in a humble family at a distance, but when grown up had been sent for by herfickfe father to grace his mansion by herbeauty, and add new lustre to his dazzling position by the smiles of youth. The deceived girl thought she was to be welcomed by a fond parent to a happy home. By degrees the fatal truth was learned. The fate of Lrly Mainwarying is vary distressing ; while many believed her dead she was wandering about the world, driven from her home by the cruelty of her husband. She found rest at last in a convent, and while her weary spirit passed from earth, he whose conduct bad so long escaped cen sure reached the limits of his sufferance. On all sides rose the murmur, and Irene returned from her mother's funeral to find her father in the hands of an indignant populace, who were about to wreak summary justice on his person. She ap peared as a guardian angel, and rescued him, but he was subsequently assailed by covert attacks, which he could not parry, and he fell a victim to seine disease occasioned by over-excitement. Horace Clavering is an interesting character, widely differ ent to Sir Claudius in every respect, and deserving commendation for the just judgment, and refined taste, which enabled him to recognise and appreciate the merits of Irene, when she was in a humble style in a contracted sphere. It was not likely that an acquaintance formed as theirs was, under the clouds of doubt, and in the midst of difficulties, should be otherwise than troubled in its course, and at times apparently broken off. The lights and shades of its progress form one of the chief points of exciting interest. Irene was attached to her father, as much from fancy as reality. He was more the ideal crea tion of her romantic youth than the real and actual Sir Claudius, than whom (however fascinating in appearance and demeanour) no one was more un fitted for the display of deep feeling, or for being the object of a devoted attachment. This over estimation of her father prevented Irene from re garding in its true light the importance of Horace Ciavering's regard for her. It was not as if she had been in a happy, or even in a peaceful home, but her position was environed by peril; on every -ide, and the prospect of being taken from such a sphere to any safe refuge was a bright one. How ever, it is not often the case in real life that people tee what is the best for them, and therefore, Irene followed a likely course when she promised to become the wife of her father's favourite, who j • ustified his patron's choice, when in the day of clan gor he turned away from the house and relinquished t.is engagement. The secondary characters are very well delineated. The Cropthorne family, with their attendant satellites, Mr. Boase and Mrs. Rather, form an amusing interlude to the graver (rears on the scene. The ingenuity of Mr. Boase, tee impudence of Mrs. Flather, are specimens of the :tanner in which such worthies contrive to insi nuate the aiselves into family circ!es, which had not dreamed of such an addition to their numbers, and from whence it is often easier to wish them well , sway, than to detach them afterwards, when they have taken root in the domestic soiL The Crop thornes paid dearly for their folly in allowing them selvee to be caught by the snares of the wily pair ; for although they had no sympathy with each other, they agreed in deceit and treachery. Mrs. Flather revealed the falsity of Mr. Bosse ; but when cir cumstances compelled her likewise to depart, her hospitable entertainers found that they had nour ished a serpent, and the angry strife and bitter recriminations that folio wed left anything but plea s tnt memories behind of their trip across the chan nel. The tragedy of the hapless young stranger, which is mentioned in the course of the story, and over whose sad fate it is hinted that an impenetrable mystery is hung, forms a connecting link between Sir Claudine and some of the leading personages of the State. His clay errors found him out at last, and what he trusted had been hidden for years eves revealed to confound him in the light of day. This work will not be found wanting in romantic incident, and its skilful detail of domestic events adds greatly to its merit, and increases its attrac tions. Its heroine alone is a star of magnitude, but the powerful manner in which Sir Claudius is described displays a talent not often met with in this class of novels. " Court Secrets" will sustain the author's former reputation. Reform iut o he f R th a e t A io rm na y l ' R ' e i v s ie t w he . fir A st ft s e u r b e j o e n ct_ The National R ev i ew . Chapman and Hall. that ‘ meets The sid.cring thy evils of the present system, the writer recommends three remedies : the abandonment of the purchase system, the gradual promotion from the ranks to clmmiszions, and progressive exlmi_ nAtion to preclude each step of advancement. Many admitted evils are censured and inquired into, among them the inefficient rewards to worn-out officers, the system of corporal punisment, and the inconvenience of the soldier's clothing. Lut fullah, whose autobiography is atracting some attention, receives a favourable notice ; and Mr. Waterton and his volumes of natural history form the topic of an entertaining article. "Popular Legends and Fairy Tales," always .a pleasant sub jeot, give the title,to an attractive paper, which shows the national characteristics and tendencies of the songs and traditions of different countries. Beranger is commemorated in a brief memoir; and e portry of Alexander Smith receives a just and discriminating criticism. After praising some fine similes and expressions, the writer concludes by observing that the (I.epest failing of this sort of poetry is its ingrained untruthfulness. "Love of display haunts it like an evil spirit. Language used instead of thought ; the metaphors of deep feeling hung about shallow sentiment like purple about a beggar; volcanic pseudo-passions set forth in pyrotechnic phraseology ; a total disregard of the real and essential congruity of things make up verse which is to true poetry what sentimentality is to feeling, or sophistry to simple truth seeking. " The remaining articles are of average merit. The Journal of Agriculture. William Blackwood. This journal has some important subjects. The opening paper, "On the Possession of Land as an industrial Occupation for the People," treats of one of those questions of social importance that require careful consideration. The agriculture and climate of North America is treated of in a subse- quent article, and presents some useful statistics to intending !emigrants. A new and curious sug gestion 'is made in an article entitled " Hippo phagy," -which strongly advises us to eat horses. The author argues with energy on the humanity, prudence, and advantage of such a proceeding ; but wo du not anticipate his arguments will effect much in establishing the custom. "The Journal of the Transactions of the Highland and Agricul tural Society" has papers on the fittings of stables, the veterinary department, and the Glasgow Show, with the report of the proceedings in the Labora tory, by Professor Anderson, and the returns of seed competitions for 1856 and 1857.
