E MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELTMENCE. , CITY, Two o'CLocis. belnerthe ' Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a better demand was apparent, and the tone of the market was also firmer. The sales were 8,000 bales, 4,000 of which were taken for export and ° ll speculation. The Railway Share Market was very buoyant, and prices were slightly higher. The principal topic of conversation in the City to-day has been the improved appearance of the Bank of Englank returns. Although they still bear ample testimony to the pressure and inconvenience resulting from the crisis, there is sufficient to show that the turning point has been reached, and that an improvement hes set in. These balance-sheets will now be anxiously watched, and upon them many Persons will base their operations in legitimate trade and in speculation. If they continue to indicate an imnrovement, a decline in the terms of discount will be predicted, and already conversation turns upon the prospect of an immediate reduction to 9 per cent. Some anticipate an altera tion next week, or on the Thursday fol lowing ; but looking at the present position of the Bauk, it can scarcely ba imagined that the authorities will act prudently in offering increased ficilities until the bullion and the reserve have further increased, and the total stock of the other securities, which onWednesday stood at 31,350,717 1 ., has been materially reduced. While it is desir able that the trade of the country should be relieved as speedily as possible, the Directors will. perceive the necessity of proceeding cautiousl y , hat the results of any premature action should eventually compel them to ret race their ste p s. Through -the arrivals of gold, the bullion has increased to a large extent, and the notes kave undergone a favourable alteration. The Bank has been a seller of stock to the extent of upwards of half a million sterling. An addition has been made to the private as well as the public deposits. The principal items, and the changes they present, are as subjoined ,-, sketive Circulation £21,340,305 66,105 Decrease 7,263,672 Bullion 779,576 Increase we5t3,447,179 Increase !!;IPublic Deposits Increase Other Deposits 951,516 Increase .

Yester - S day a further parcel of foreign gold was taken t there, amounting to about 30,0001. It is expected 21 that the greater part of the 200,0001., en route from St. Petersburg, will be similarly disposed of ; 1 .1 While the 300,0001. arrived at Suez, per Sim la, and Si ttle 420,000/. on board the Essex, may also be 2( looked for in the course of a few days. 11 'Yesterday afternoon the Continen tal exchanges E4ll 'ere rather flatter. si It is expected that the Hon.

THE CHEAP PRESS—THE ATTOBNEY.GENEBAL V. HEAP, This was an iuformation at the instance of the At torney-General for an infringement of the Stamp Duties Act in printing and publishing a certain paper called the Burg Time; without registering or stamping the name, as required by the statute, it being deemed to be a newspaper. The defendant denied that the publication in question was a newspaper within the meaning of the Act. The Solicitor-General and Mr. Bevan appeared for the Crown, and Mr. Sergeant Parry for the defendant. The Solicitor-General opened the case, and stated that the m a in c h arge i n t h e i n f or mation was that the defendant had pr i nte d , pu bli s h e d, an d caused to be s old a paper call e d th e B ury Ti mes , a t a less su m than 61, e., one penny, without first giving n otice to the Stamp Office, and al so s i gn the necessary de claration, and entering i n t o th e usua l b on d a nd sureties presc ribed by the statute of the 6th and 7th Win. IV., cap. 76, which imposes those requirements in all cases where the publication so issued contained matters of public news, intelligence, and other matters. After evidence of publication and non-registration had been given, Mr. Sergeant Parry, on the part of the defendant, addressed the jury. The act requiring the registration was one of the odious six acts of the 60th Geo. 3d, passed by the notorious Lord Castlereagh ; and if the Board of Inland Revenue were to succeed in enforcing this act it would have the effect of stopping millions of pub lications. The Board had commenced proceedings against the Western Times, but for some reason or other had discontinued them. The Chancellor of the Exchequer here entered the court, and took his seat on the bench. Mr. Sergeant Parry continued—lle would, seeing the Chancellor of the Exchequer in Court, call him, and ask him his opinion whether he considered the Bury Times was strictly a newspaper, and whether he had not stated that the Free Press was not a newspaper. The Lord Chief Baron said such questioni could not be put to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, if the facts were proved of the publication ; the question of what is a newspaper was not for the jury, but the Court. The Chancellor was certainly a member of the Court, but not on the law side. Mr. Sergeant Parry said, at all events he was at the head of the Inland Revenue. The Chancellor of the Exchequer, who sat , on the bench, was then called.! Sergeant Parry said the first question he wished to ask the Chancellor of the Exchequer was—Whether be was o! opinion that the Bury Times, a copy of which be pro duced, was a newspaper. The Solicitor-General objected to the question. The Lord Chief Baron said it could not be put. The Chancellor of the Excheqoer was a member of that Court, but not of the common law department of i it. Sergeant Parry said, the Chancellor of the Exche quer was at the head of the revenue of the country, and ought to know what a newspaper was. He would ask the Chancellor whether the Bury Free Press, a copy of which he produced, was a newspaper. The Solicitor-General objected to the question. The Lord Chief Baron ruled that the question could not be put. Sergeant Perry proposed to put the Buy Times, and the Bury Free Press into the hands of the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and to ask him whether his attention had been called to them as newspapers. The Lord Chief Baron said that was a point of no mportance, and would occasion a loss of time. Sergeant Parry declined, under the circumstances, to press the question, That was the case on behalf of the defendant. The Solicitor-General having adiressed the jury, in reply, The Lord Chief Baron in summing up, said that the questions for the jury to decide, were whether the paper called the Bury Tinies contained news, whether it was published periodically at intervals of less than 26 days. It was published every week, and the jury would have no difficulty in arriving at a conclusion whether or not a week was less than 26 days. If they found that it was such a paper, it would then be for them to enquire whether he had made the declaration required by the the statute, and whether he bad signed the bond. The jury at once found a general verdict for the Crown. THE SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 28, 1857. (This Day. THE EAST INDIA COMPANY AND TEE TRANSMISSION OF TROOPS TO INDIA. The following -statement contains a succinct but perfectly reliable recapitulation of facts connected with the sendin g o f t roops roun d th e C a p e to India : On the mornin g o f th e 29th of June; the public were startled by an announcement in the journals of the day, to the effect that a mutiny of a serious and disastrous character had broken out at Meerut; that a large body of the mutineers had escaped to Delhi, and that the imperial city was in th e possession of the rebels. On that same Saturday morning the Chairman of the East India Company summoned a special Court of Directors, by circular missives to his several colleagues, and, at this Court held soon after noon, a letter was formally passed, making a requisition for four additional Queen's regiments to be despatched immediately , to India. Tie requisition was complied with ; and on the fol lowing Monday—that is, on the next official day— advertisements were issued calling for tenders of screw-steamers and Clipper-sailing vessels to con- _ vey these troops to India. The Court of Directors were of opinion that a portion, at least, of those troops 'might be conveyed to India on board her Majesty's steam-frigates, but they were informed, through their Chairman, in a private or demi official manner, that the Admiralty had no steamers at their disposal for such a purpose. They went, therefore, as we have said to the public, and by the Bth of July, the required tenders had , been received. From the vessels tben offered to the Company were selected six screw steamers (including the Thebes, Carthage, Caledonia, and United Kingdom), and eleven reputedly fast-sailing vessels (including the Whirlwind, William Hammond, and Alnwick Castle), without reference to price fixed upon the accommodation, or any other consideration than that of the rapidity with which they might reason ably be expected to convey the troops to India. At this time, it should be stated, serious doubts were entertained regarding the existance, at the different depots, of a sufficiency of coal for any large num ber of steamers proceeding at the same time to India, round the Cape, and the best authorities were of opinion- that in the absence of a sufficiency of coal, the sailing vessels must assuredly beat the screws. For the first batch of reinforcements, therefore, as we have said, six steamers and eleven sailing vessels were taken up by the East India Company. A . On the 13th of July the public papers contained a telegraphic announcament, to the effect that, although there had been some further mutinous proceedings in India, " the crisis was looked upon as past." On the 14th, however, a special Court of Directors was held, ands a further requisition was made for six additional regiments and eight com panies of Royal Artillery. On the requisition being complied with, advertisements were imme diately put forth calling for tenders, and on the 21st of July six more screw steamers (including the Golden Fleece and the Australian) and five fast sailing vessels (one of which was the James Baines) were engaged. On the 3d August, at a special Court of Directors (further advices of the spread of the mutiny having been received), the Court made a further requisition for two regiments of Dragoons and four regiments of Infantry • and on the 7th, still pursuing the same system dengaging a mixed fleet of screw steamers and sailing vessels, accom modation was taken up for these reinforcements, one of the vessels then engaged being the Light ning. On the 2d of September, the Court applied for further reinforcements, which were sent in the same manner—but it is useless to enter into fur ther details. The vessels taken up were, •in all cases, the best, or they were believed to be the best that could be obtained for the purpose. It is true that more screw steamers and fewer sailing vessels might have been engaged ; but this policy would have been dangerous in the extreme, in the absence of any certainty regarding the existence of a sufficiency of coal for the requirements of so large a fleet. And apart from this, it may be stated that judged by past performances the relative speed of screw steamers and clipper vessels starting from England, in the summer months, was but little in favour of the former. It is admitted‘that the sailing vessels were un- lucky. They started in the most favourable season of the year, when good vessels often make the pas sage in 90 days, but were, in some cases, detained by long calms on the Line. We are told that the Golden Fleece steamer made the passage in less than' 80 days ; and that although it sailed more .than sevea weeks after the Areta, arrived at Calcutta before her, beating the Bucephalus also by more than five weeks. And then we come upon the ex. clamation—" Now, the event has been fortunate, but if had been otherwise, what would the world have thought of an arrangement which produced so intolerable a delay 1 Seven weeks ' Now, what will the world think, when they are informed that these vessels, the Areta and the Bucephalus, were taken up for the conveyance of ordinary re liefs, some time before intelligence of the mutiny reached England,, and had really nothing whatever to do with*thiff event ? All that these vessels were required to do, when they were engaged, was to convey troops to India by the commencement of the cold weather, before which time they were, at the period of despatch, not desired to arrive. Again, we are told that although the Carthage and United Kingdom had reached Madras, before the despatch of, the last advices, no sailing vessel had reached that port. And Why ? Because none had been despatched to Madras which could by any possibility have arrived, even if they had been much faster , than the steamers. And it is upon evidence of this 1 kind—evidence which breaks down at every point when it is examined 7 —that a great governing body is declared to be imbecile and incapable, and de serving only of summary extinction. We have not, in th , se statements, touched upon the subject of the delay that has taken place in the despatch of troops to India, by what is commonly called the Overland route. It is scarcely necessary to state, that whatever amount of culpability in this respect there may be, it does not lie at the door of the East India Company. In such a matter as this, involving important consid.erat one of Euro pean policy, the Company are utterly powerless. All that they can do in such a case is to suggest ; and had their sugges t ionsbeen attended to, troops would have been despatched by the Isthmus of Suez at a much earlier date than that which has actually seen them consigned to the care of the Peninsular and Oriental Company. The charge, however, against the Company is, not that they did not dispatch troops through Egypt, but that they sent them round the Cape on slow-sailing vessels like the Areta and Bucephalus, instead of on fast screw steamers like the Golden Fleece. We think that we have sufficiently disposed of this charge, whilst we have shown at the same time that the Court of Directors did not lose an hour, after the arrival of the first tidings of the mutiny, in dispatching rein forcements to_ the seat of danger, in such manner as seemed molt likely to secure their speediest arri val, --Daily IVCIvs• THE LEVIATHAN STEAM-SHIP. The preparations for another attempt to launch the Leviathan have ever since the late failure been carried on with the utmost rapidity. During the whole of the week some 250 or 300 men have been employed in driving successive rows of piles between the fulcrums of the rams, in such numbers and of such strength as to render the chances of their giving way under almost any pressure very small indeed. Some idea of their solidity may be gained from a comparison with the fulcrum first used. The first supports for the rams consisted of three rows of three 10-inch piles, placed a few feet apart, and strengthened by wooden supports. This fulcrum was (as mentioned in our report at the time) crushed up as if the beams had been straws. The present base from which the rams will act is formed of five successive rows placed about ten feet apart, each row consisting of seven 17 and 12-inch piles driven 30 feet into the ground. Each row is backed up with solid balks of timber, and behind , the , last row of each fulcrum is placed about 50 tons of iron ballast. Tho whole of these net works of massive timbers is so wedged and bolted together successively, as to form almost one solid piece. The delay which has taken place has been productive of good in one respect—it has allowed the engineers thoroughly to test every part of the apparatus, which they undoubtedly had not time to do before. The resisting power of the drums has been weighed to within a few pounds. The strength and firmness of the cradles and ponderous chains have all been accurately ascertained, so that the operations when they are carried out will partake less of the character of hazardous experiments than they did previously. During yesterday Mr. Jacomb, one of the assistant engineers, was engaged in testing the durability of the lower portions of the launching ways which are washed by the tide. For this purpose a small cradle, resembling in every respect that on which the ship rests, was placedon the lower part of the ways, and then loaded with iron ballast until the pressure exceeded one ton to the square foot. The loaded cradle was pushed up and down the ways for the purpose of ascertaining friction, &c. The experiments are stated to have been very satisfactory in their results. Int I ci11,161.. MINING NEAR TOE SVMMIT OF SNOWDON,—The Cwmdyle mine, near the summit of Snowdon, which has for several years been unsuccessf u lly worked by a com pany who were obliged to wind up, and which has lately been purchased by a company of local shareholders, is now likely to turn out a profitable speculation, a lode of copper of several feet in thickness having been dis covered, and working to advantage, and the engineers being satisfied that a similar lode extends in another direction.—Nora Wales Chronicle.

Y. SUMNER. This was a special jury case, and the action was brought by the plaintiffs, milliners, 16, Dover-street, Piccadilly, against Mr, Morettib Sumner, * eon of Mr. Richard Sumner, of Pultenham Priory, Guildford, to recover the sum of 1661. 133. 7d. for goods supplied. It appeared from the plaintiffs' evidence that in May, June, and July, 1851, they supplied Mrs. Moreton Sumner with articles of dress to the abote amount. She was introduced to them by his mother as the Countess VclQamacchi, widow of the late Bishop Heber, of Calcutta. The countess was introduced by the Do wager Duchess of Northumberland, and had dealt with them for upwards of 18 years. The accounts were regularly se t t in every year with the Countess's account, till 1855, when an [application was made to the defend an t, w h o denied his liability. Frcm Mr. Moreton Sumner's evidance, it appeared that in July, 1849, he was married to the countess's daughter. His father settled 5001. a year on him, and the Count 2001. a year with a revi sionary interest in 4,0001. In May, 1851, he was in the neighbourhood of LeiPsio with his wife and her family, when be, from curtain causes, left her and came to England, where he rornained till December. Ile gave her about 60/. or 701. in money, and gave up to her the 2001. a-year her father Bottled on her. In 1855 he obtained a divorce. The evidence went to show that it was during the time the defendant was in England the goods were supplied to his wife. Mr. Lush, Q C., for the defendant, eontended there was no evidence to prove that the wife bad authority to pledge her husband's credit. Mr. James, Q.C., for the plaintiff, contended that the fact of marriage was sufficient. The Lord Chief Baron said be should distinctly lay down that the wife in this instance had no right to pledge her husband's credit. It had been shown that when the husband left her he supplied her with means by giving up to her the 2001. a year settled on him. If you object to my ruling, I invite you to tender a bbl of exception. Mr. James—Then I accept your lordship's invitation. (Laughter.) The jury, by direction of hie lordship, returned a ver• diet for the defendant. INLAND lIEVENUR PROSEOUTION-TH4 ATTORNEY• GENERAL v. BARRY. The Solicitor-General, Mr. Wilde, and Mr. Bevan a ppeared for the Crown ; Sir F. Kelly, Mr. Bova', and Mr. Welaby were counsel for the defen 'ant. This was an information at the snit of the Attorney- General against the defendant, who is the owner of mills at ROM6ey, for making paper without taking out the license required by the Excise -Law.. ,The article in question is called by the defendant, and is described in the patent which was taken out in 1853 by one Brown as a " new and improved parchment." The material of which this article consists is animal fibre, which being reduced into a pulp, is manufactured into a strong and durable substance, capable of being applied to almost all the uses to which paper popularly so called is almost applicable, and capable also of being used for all t h e purposes to which parchment is applicable. on paper defines paper to be The Act imp osin g a duty an article made of linen or cotton rags, straw, or any other vegetable fibrous substance, so that the real ques tion between the Crown and the defendant was whether he was a papermaker within the words of the Act, and as such bound to take out a license and pay duty on the goods so manufactured by hi m. At the close of the evidence for the Crown, Si r Fitzroy Kelly submitted that th ere was no case to go to the j ur y against the defendant. The evidence raised a pure question of law, which it was for the Court to decide. This was an information for the purpose of imposing a new tax, and it was for the Crown to prove that the article in question was " paper," which ho con. tended that this particular article was not within the meaning of the Act. The Solicitor -General argued that the case did fall within the Act. His Lordship, after a long and desultory conversation, expressed his opinion, formed as it was on a sudden, to be that article being " in the nature of a paper" was paper taxable within the Aot ; but he was by no means eonfideut that the opinion he had expressed was the right one. The better way would be for him to direct the jury to find for the Crown, and for the Crown to consent to his reserving leave to the defendant to move to enter a verdict. As, however, the Court. might think there was not, the arrangement would so stand, as that in that event power should be reserved to the Court to order a new trial, w hen the precise que i Ilion for the jury would I be defined. 1 A verdict was thereupon taken for the Crown for 1001. the amount of penalty for making pap er without a liCelllo. 25 00 40 50 20 25 20 100 10 lidl RAILWAYS. 100 Buckghamsh 100 'Clydesdale Jc. all Col.Stour Vy. 100 E.Liu. g. 6 p. all E.

INGENIOUS SYSTEM OF nun —Thomas Eleden, a well-dressed yeung man, uas placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham, charged with endeavouring to obtain from Mesas. Redmayne and Co. a quantity of valuable silk and patent crape by fraudulent misrepresentations. Benjamin Broonahall, assistant to the Messrs. Red mayne, deposed that on Friday afternoon, between the hours of one and two o'clock, the prisoner came into their shop, and handed to him the order produced, pus. porting to have been written by a Mrs. Bradshaw, of Tring, Hert;, stating that owing to a sudden domestic bereavement, she would be obliged if they would send her enough black moire antique to make dresses for herself and daughter, and also 16 yards of patent crape for trim mings. The writer further requested that the goods should be packed up in a parcel, and directed to her, to be left at the Cloak-room of the London and North• Western Railway, Euston-square, and one of her sons should call for it. Directly the note was read, it was suspected that a fraud was intended, and witness at once went to Vine-street station and stated the case to Inspector Lester, who advised him to pack up a parcel, and direct it as requested, and send it by a trustworthy person to the cloak-room. Wi , ness accordingly packed up a parcel containing several yards of black lindsey, and three yards of crape, of the value of 27e., and sent it off by one of their porters. The- prisoner had pre viously left the shop, and he saw no more of him ill he was in custody. Jay, 338 A, said, about half-past 6 o'clock on the previous evening he went to the cloak-room, Euston square Station, and after B aiting a considerable time the prisoner came in and asked for a parcel directed to Mrs. Bradshaw, of Tring. The porter gave it to him, and the prisoner walked away. Witness followed him, and asked him if he was Mrs. Bradshaw's son. The prisoner replied in the affirmative, and witness then told him who he was and took him into custody. On the way to the station the prisoner said he met a man in the city, who gave him the note to take to Bond-street. Inspector Lester said, on searching the prisoner be found upon him a betting-book, and several orders for goods upon Howell and James, Swan and Edgar, and others. Amongst these orders was one purporting to have been written by Lady Jersey, and another by Mies Walters, sister of Mr. Walters, of the Times, which it is , needless to say, were forgeries. ' The prisoner, who made no defence, was remanded for a week. WESTMINSTER. TilC PUBLIC SAFETY.--John Ge 'cheater was charged with furious driving, to the imminent danger of the public. Police-constable Offwood, 273 B, stated that at 12 o'clock last night he was on duty in. Sloane-street, when he saw the defendant and a woman in a van. The horse was galloping furiously, and defeudant was kneeling down in the cart leaning over the front lashing the horse with a whip. Defendant had lost his hold of the reins, which were being dragged un the ground. He and the woman were both drunk. The horse was going from one side t f the road to the other, and the public were placed in imminent danger. The van belonged to a Mr. Wise, a cowkeeper, in Ebury-street, and the defendant had no business to have been driving it at the time, where he was. Defendant said he was very sorry. Mr. Arnold said that this was as bad a case of furious driving as had ever been brought before him, and fined the defendant the full penalty of 40e. In default he was committed for a month. AN UNMANLY ASSAULT.— Francis Harris, and ill looking fellow, was charged wit h assaulting Margaret Riley. Compliinant, an unfortunate girl, said that she was "keeping company" with the defendant. On the pre. vious night they bail some words, when the defendant struck her several blows, tore her clothes off, and blackened her eye. In reply to an inquiry from the magistrate, complain ant said he had ill-treated her before. Defendant said he was sorry Mr. Arnold said his conduct was ♦ery unmanly, and committed him for a month, requiring him, at the ex piration of that time, to find good bail. MARKET NEWS.—(Tins Day.)

By Rainey Hawthorne. 3 vols. Bentley. This is a most superior work, combining great knowledge of human nature with considerable powers of description. The events are striking, and the plot admirably constructed. - There is nothing improbable in the story, when we take into account the peculiar characters that it chro nicles. The little that is said of General Treby gives us an idea of the man, as subsequent events prove him to have been ; but it is in the &scrip- _ lion of his two sons that the author has put forth his powers, and has achieved a complete success. Such finished sketches are seldom seen in the pages of fiction. The chief point of interest in the story is the will made by the General on his death-bed, which was unbefitting a testament executed on so solemn an occasion. No pure thought, no godd motive, actuated the dying man as he effected this bequest. He left the children who had grown up round him totally unprovided for, and left all to an infant he had never se en, the child of his eldest son by a former marriage, of whose existence he had only just beard. He passed away, his actions lived after him in years of sorrow, suffering, find sin. No one was benefited by the strange. will, for Delavelle, the eldest son, could not touch the property, as it was sot his own ; but, to keep up appearances, he became involved in debt, and his prospects, which bad seemed fair when he came to England, were soon clouded. But it was on Regi nald, the second son, that the blow fell with crush ing force. He had been reared in luxury, the heir of a fine estate, and it was not till after his father's death that he learned a stranger had been intermeddling with his fortunes. It was of no avail to tell him the intruder was his father'a son. It always seemed to the disinherited that his birthright had been stolen from him. As a stranger he met Delavelle, who, to do him justice, meant to befriend his young brother, it is trOe in & patronising way. However, he was never pat to the test, tor, when driven from his childhood's home, Reginald regarded as a deadly foe him who had ieen instrumental in causing that outrage, and swore, in all the passion of youth's fire, joined to the power of man's revenge, that he would die rather than be beholden to the destroyer ; but that while life was his, its sole end, aim, and object should be to recover the halls of his ancestors, what he considered his rightful heritage,. his 'be loved Briarton. 'None can fail to sympat hise with the infatuated youth at first, for he had been cruelly treated ; but as time passes, and the expe rience of the world gave him knowledge, and' the counsel of friends preached him wisdom, and he turned his eyes from the one and closed his ears to the other, the feeling is changed to indignation. Further on, when he is in the depths of remorse and despair—when nothing can rid him of his burden—when he has crossed over the broad ocean, and wandered through the trackless forests, only to learn the deeper misery of being alone with his grief, all must pity an existence which, as he himself described it, was blasted. . It became at last impossible to himself to give up the idea, —it had become a sort of mania with him, which was only cured by the fulfilment of his wishes. Possession of his idol taught him its impotence and emptiness. Was this fair abode, though clothed with the loveliness of earth's beauty and crowned with the sunshine of heaven's light, it smiled to receive him, worth the price he had paid for it? Time rolled back, and memory beheld the years that had passed over since youth, their answering echoes murmured no. The only bright spot in Reginald's life was when he sojourned in the far West, having given up for a space his fierce pursuit. Too soon did this tran quil time pass away, the summons came to recall him. He felt the parting was a final one, and with sorrow took leave of the sons of the wilderness, who were dearer to his heart than their civilised brethren. Friends, he exclaimed, " I am going back to my own cold land, to the east, whence my sorrows, like yours, have come. In the eternal hunting-grounds we may meet again ; but never under the eh ide of your giant trees, for I am going home to accomplish the purpose of my existence, to regain an inheri tance of which I was wrongfully deprived. lam goin g home to do this, and then to die." His words were prophetc, for scarcely had the floor of the threshold sounded to the tread of the returned wanderer before it was passed over by thOse who carried his lifeless body to where worldly interests can claim no share, and where the voice of human ambition is mute. The records given of the sisters of Reginald are very interesting, especially those which relate to Marian, who was one of those bright chosen spirits seldom seen. The accident which happened to her, while it reined her happi i ness for this world, imparted to her a peace beyond happiness, in consequence of her turning her burden into a - blessing, by resignation, not repining. Con stance was not of so fine a disposition, but she is Pleasing to follow in her course, • from her brave spirit and kind heart ; happily for her she. learned wisdom before it was too late. - Whalrisitritten of Delavelle shows him, to us, a clever, scheming man, and his inordinate desires made his life a tor ment. The description of his death, in a storm at sea, is a masterpiece of composition, it reveals to us in a striking manner, how "a vessel had been, and was not, where men had struggled, and fought with the elements for life, where death had triumphed, and the ocean swallowed up its prey The trial which decided that Reginald was to have the possession of Briarton, at last, is of great inte rest, and like all the other important events in the story is delineated with a vivid touch, and brought before us with vigour and spirit. The work is a brilliant one, on the whole ; and, while furnishing the materials of a story attractive and interesting, it holds out a solemn warning, which those who run may read ; it tells in an effective manner the danger of setting one'a hopes and fears on an object till it becomes a ruling passion, which ruins life and unfits for death. It is not likely that the subject could have been worked out in a better manner than it has been done in the pages of this work, and the reader who has attentively perused it must render jus tice to the skill with which a most elaborate plot has been devised, and pay homage to the , talent with which it is so brilliantly illuminated. " The Ruling Passion" will, in all probability, meet with a great success. Poetry and Pictures from Thomas Moore. With illustrations on wood. Longman and Co. This is one of the most beautiful gift-books that has ever been offered to the public. The selections themselves are, of course, familiar to every reader, being the favourite songs and passages from Moore's poems, and the illustrations are in every way worthy of them. The names of the artists and engravers induce the reader to antici pate some beautiful plates, and the expectation is fully realised. Birket Foster, Maclise, Harrison Weir, Pickersgill, Cope, and Horsley, are among the artists, and they worthily maintain their repu tations. Some of the most beautiful scenes are from the pencil of Birket Foster, and among them, though all are worthy of notice, we may mention the view of Innisfallen, the illustrations to " The Woodpecker," " The Young May Moon," "While Gazing on the Moon's Light," " Beautyand Song," and to the Canadian boat song—but there are few of his scenes that will not delight the spectator. Form ing a contrast to his glowing landscapes; we meet the picture of "The Dismal Swamp," very cleverly drawn by 'Jasper Cropsey. The very trees par- take of the gloom, and seem to be dropping ' mildew from their weird branches. Another very striking picture by this artist is the illustration of the lines— " There lieth a wreck on the dismal shore, Of cold and pitiless Labrador." written on passing Deadman's Island, in the Gulf of St. Lawrence. Gazelles and roebucks afford Mr. Harrison Weir some excellent subjects. Among the best are his illustrations to the Song of the Mountaineer, and the Finland Love Song-- " I saw the moon rise clear, O'er hills and dales of snow, Nor told my fleet reindeer • The track I wished to go." where the shadows of the sledge and the cedar trees are thrown over the clear snow with great effect. Mr. Topham's picture of " Nora Crum' is very graceful. It is sufficient praise for the vignettes to say that they are most of them drawn by Macli'e. The binding is in the handsome antique style, and the paper and type in every way correspond. Those who receive this volume among their Christmas presents may indeed esteem themselves fortunate. The indisposition of the Earl of Scarborough (soya the Nottingham Journal), conseq uent upon au accid ental tall backward s i n a tt emp ti ng t o cross a ditch while out shooting on the Longshaw Moore, in august last, bee created feelings of the deepest regret throughout the whole of this aistrict.

They have recommended that the noble earl should refrain from the least exertion. exaggeratedWe regret to say that very S reports nr. of the state of affairs in Derby have TaTE o! found their way into several Manchester and one or two London papers. Undoubtedly trade there, as elsewhere, is in rather a depressed state, and a number of work people are out of employment, whom the benevolent are about to supply with soup for the time being ; but the utmost order prevails, and there is not' the slightest warrant for the somewhat alarming statement that has been circulated.—Der6y Reporter of Noy. 27. cif els aye ibit rod issa .0 of able 101 l orlt 1 J.
