MONEY MARKET A ND COM IYIEECIAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'CLocE. Letters from Liverpool report that the Cotton Market yesterday closed with a dull appearance, and values of all descriptions were fully -id. per lb. lower. The sales were estimated at 2,000 bales. The Railway Share Market manifested more firm ness, but prices were without any material alteration. The stoppage of the City of Glasgow Bank, and the run upon the other establishments has rendered it necessary to forward a large amount of gold from London to render them assistance. Yesterday about 800,0001. was despatched, and this being added to the pressure previously existing has caused in creased anxiety. This, however, has been some what diminished by the knowledge that the Ewell will arrive about the 18th inst. with 525,0001., and that the Avon is off Plymouth with 260,0001. in Australian gold. The charge of 10 per cent. at the Bank of Eng land is purely nominal, and a very trifling amount of paper is negotiated except on much more onerous terms. Serious difficulties are experienced in obtaining any accommodation at all, and many mercantile houses of old standing and respectability are merely kept afloat by the efforts of bill discounters or others possess lug large supplies of available means. Severe as the revulsion is, there are many who confidently predict an easy abatement of the pressure, but before that takes place, numerous other failures must occur. The fact is that affairs are completely brought to a stand, firms find themselves em barrassed although possessing ample assets, and the result is a prostra tion of business. There never was such a fearful complication of disasters, and the consequences can not fail to be of the most injurious description. Of course credit is severely ;shaken, all kinds of rumours are circulated, and no one seems in clined to part with his money. The great ma chinery of trade has been materially impeded, the means which kept it in motion being suddenly withheld. There is something so novel in the existing state of things that it is impossible to form any clear opinion as to its probable extent and duration. There is still t pressing demand for accommoda tion, and very high rates are paid for tho negocia ion of bills. The Bank directors have h eld a lengthened sitting, but no new regulation in respect to dis counts has been established. It is expected that the Marseilles portion of the Overland Mail will arrive here on the 14th, and the correspondence via Southampton: will probably to received on the 18th. Silver continues flat, and until the overland mail is delivered it is not imagined that any business of importance will be transacted. About 148,0001. in that metal, however, was brought by the Rhine from Boulogne yesterday. Accounts from Scotland state that there was a "run" on some of the other banks, especially the Union, but the panic was subsiding, and no fears were entertained as to their stability. The gold from London will render an important service. A large amount of business has been transacted in the market for Public Securities, but it has been characterised by a remarkable degree of strength. There is a difference of nearly 1 per cent, in the prices for money and account, money being worth 12 to 15 per cent. The Government broker at. tempted to sell stock, but was not successful to any xreat extent. The decline has been limited to per cent. although a large amount of stock has been forced upon the market on real and speculative account. The operators seem rather undecided, especially as the Bank authorities are supposed to be in communication with the Government. Consols for money have been 89i and 88f a, for the . account 89 i and 891 the " contang,o" be ing nearly 1 per cent. ; they are mow 89 and 89/ respectively. The New Three per Cents. have been alt in at 87i 88 and 88i ; the Reduced are 87 # i• Exchequer Bills 30s. to 20s. discount ; ibe Bonds 97 ; and India Bonds 40s. discount Bank Stock i s 2091 211, an d I ndia Stock 212. * Business in the Foreign Stock Market has been exceedingly inactive, and prices are lower. Turkish 6 pair Cents. are quoted 87 for money, and 87i for the account. Mexican, 18 18} ; Peruvian 4 per Cents., 74. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5 6 ; Mexi can, 18 18f ; Peruvian 73 75 ; ditto 3 per Cents., 50 52 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 42i 431 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 104 106 ; ditto 4 per Cents., 95 97 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 40 401 ; ditto New Deferred, 25 251. The last week's railway receipts, ascertained up to this day, are in round figures as under : 1857. 1856. Great Western.

Caledonian, however, improved about 21., and North British 10s. Great Western, North- Western, South-Western, Manchester, Sheffield, and Lincoln, and North-Eastern (Berwick) declined 10a.; Eastern Counties, Lancashire and Yorkshire, and South-Eastern, 1/. ; and Bristol and Exeter, 1/. 10s. The Foreign lines are very quiet, and the Colonial were dealt in to a moderate extent. Northern of France have receded about Ss.; Grand Trunk of Canada have declined 10s. ; and Great Western of Canada, and East Indian aro steady at previous quotations. Mining Shares are flat. Alfred Consols have de clined to 17k. Great Wheal Alfreds are 5, and Linares realised Bf. In Joint-Stock Bank and Miscellaneous Shares there is little change to report. British North American advanced 1/. Ottoman Bank declined 55. Australian Agricultural shares rather im proved, but National Discount Company, and London General Omnibus Company were a shade lower.

COURT OF QUEEN'S BBNCH. (Sittings in Banco before Lord Campbell, Justices Cole- ridge and Erlej ARTICLES or THE PEACE AGAINST A CLERGYMAN. Mr. Huddleston, Q.C., applied to exhibit articles of peace against the Rev. Henry Curtis Cherry, by Emily, his wife, on the ground of cruelty. It appeared from the articles that were read by the officer of the court, that the applicant was married to the Rev. Henry Curtis Cheiry, rector of Burghfield Rectory, near Reading, on the 23d of August, and that immediately after wards a systematic course of annoyance and indignities was adopted towards her by her husband and his relatives in the presence of the servants. On the 28th September, 1855, resolved on leaving him, and did so with his knowledge, taking up her residence at Reading. Whilst at St. Giles' Church, Reading, on Sunday evening the 31st of August, 1856, after she "Dad left him, he came there and conducted himself towards her in a very unbecoming manner, dragging her by the arm to the vestry after the service was over, saying that was nothing to what he intended to do to her. On the Sunday evening following, after he bad attended two services at his own church, and administered the holy communion, he came to Reading with his gardener, and with the assistance of the police forcibly removed her on the following morning from Reading to Burghfield Rectory, in the course of which she was subjected to rough treatment. On their arriving at the rectory her husband directed her to go up stairs, for if not the inspector of police would assist him to carry her up. She was then taken up stairs, but afterwards escaped, and had remained in concealment from that time to the present. During her concealment, and about three months after the above encounter, her husband's mother sent a message to her through a friend that it would be inexpedient for the applicant to go to Reading, because the Rev. H. C. Cherry was in such an excited state that if they met she thought something terrible would ensue—if not murder. Ever since her escape she had been in constant fear and alarm, and she was informed that her husband was searching for her, and had stated that he would bring her back to his house at any cost. She had been compelled to live in conceal. ment to prevent a repetition of the violence of the Bth September, 1856. She had been informed, and believed, that the Rev. H. C. Cherry (her husband) had for three months past employed Field, the detective officer, to dis cover her abode, but hitherto without success. On the 16th Sept., 1857, she received the following letter from her husband : " For my wife Emily Cherry alone. Enrghfield Rectory, Reading, 16th Sept., 1857. "MT DEAREST EMILY, —I have reason to know that your sister not only withholds from you what she knows isnow going on for your compulsory removal from me, but that, unless it suits her purposes, you do not receive nor see half the letters I forward to you through her. Oh what an awful responsibility rests upon her ! When will you be no longer deceived I Can you doubt I can lay hold of you any moment 1 Defy me, and by the living God I name where you are and have been the last two days. What did I marry you for ? To be separated from me ? A man does not thus bind himself to be a woman's fool (the last lines scored under three times). What power have you to help yourself ? What have I not done to prove my love for you, and what will I yet not do to have you with me. Yoursilly nephew refers totbe abduc tion in September last. Why I will hare a dozen more, if necessary, and then 'shill he perfectly justifiedin law. As God is my witness, I'll have you with me ere many days, why not then accept the terms I have proposed through Mrs. Henry this day to you ? You are at liberty to tell your silly adviser that I laugh at his nonsense, and he knows he cannot help you. For God's sake be wise at last and meet me. You will never repent that you treated a living generous inflexible God and not man fearing husband till death, HENRY C. CINRILY, Lord Campbell—ln that letter I don't find that the husband threatens any bodily violence, but an apprehen sion of such on the part of the wife, Mr. Huddlestone said the words of tho letter led the applicant to believe she would be subjected to a repeti tion of the personal violence she was subjected to when forcibly taken away from Reading. Mr. Justice Coleridge—l don't find from the articles read that at any time when the husband had the wife in his power, and had an opportunity of inflicting violence on her, that he has done so. Mr. Justice Wightman —What is the personal injury relied on t There !night be an abduction without per sonal injury. Mr. Huddlestone—The renewal of the violence she was subjected to at the time alluded to, when she suf fered very much for a fortnight, and was unable to dress herself from the violence of her husband and the in spector of police. Lord Campbell—l am not aware that a husband is entitled to use violence, to seize the person of his wife, and make her a prisoner, and bring her to the marital bed, but apply to the proper quarter for a resti tution of conjugal rights. He cannot take the law in his own hands, and by force make her a prisoner and deprive her of her liberty. The threat of a repetition to do what he has before done I think sufficient grounds for the interference of the Court. I consider it personal violence, and the lady ought to have the protection of the Court. Mr. Justice Coleridge—There is no justification in law of a husband using violence to compel his wife to come and live with him. A doubt exists in my mind in reference to this case from the general un satisfactory state of the articles before the Court. 1 greater part of the information is founded on statements of parties without stating their names, which I think a most objectionable mode of swearing them, because it is impossible to give them that contra diction that otherwise might be given. lam also much struck with this fact that, at the time when the husband had his wife in his power, he used no personal violence towardsher, but onl; confined her to her chamber. I think it going a great way to suppose that the lady has great fear of her lif e f rom h er husban d' s crue lty. I cannot deny that th ere i s prima fasic cause of fear cf that degree of p ersona l violence that was use d by th e po liceman. Th a t s h ows, however, t h a t th e h us b an d was seeking to proceed, as he thought, safely and under the protection of the law. I, however, think she is en titled to protection. Mr. Justice Wightman—l think the lady is entitled to the protection of the Court, and I rely mainly for my opinion on the passage in the letter to which the atten tion of the Court has been drawn, in which the husband threatens in the strongest terms that he will compel her to return home. The protection asked for was granted, and an attach ment was ordered to issue. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goulburn.) THE LONDON ♦ND HARWICH STEAM PACKET COMPANY. To-day was appoint e d t o se ttl e tke list of contribu tories of this compa n y, w hi c h i s in course of b e i ng wo und up under the 19th an d 20th Vic., C. 47. Mr. Bayley appeared on behalf of Mr. Pennale, the official liquidator, and a question arose as to the mode in which the n o tices, &c., were to be served on the shareholders sought to bo made contributories, there being no direct ions i n the act in that respect. Mr. Harrison said that, in the absence of any rule made by the cou rt, he h ad suggested that the same co urse should be adopted as where a company were being nndotuicpe thinCrhoaungeheryt an d i n t h at case, th e the p os t, di recte d to t h e l as t servicekn w wound of plane of residence, was sufficient. m o r . Hughes, from the office of Mr. Linklater, put in an affidavit that all the letters had been posted, directed to the addresses set forth in a list of contributions. His Honour said that the list must be called over alphabetically, and proof given that the notice had been forwarded to the address on the registrar. Several names were struck out for want of proof th at t h e part i es ha d accepted the shar es. He said the onus was on t h e part 1 of the company to prove the case, and that could not be called upon to be examined o n oa th, as on a bill of discovery to admit that he was a shareholder, but if further evidence could be obtained fresh, notices could be served. An application was made for costs. His Honour said it was unnecessary to discuss tbat point, as there were no assets in the estate to pay any thing. The list was then concluded. TDB OENIIINE BREAD COMPANY. To p day appointed for heari ng a petition for wind. The case was called on at 1 1 o'clock, the hour ap inguathye affairs of the above company. pointed, and a learned counsel appeared to oppose, but as no one was present to support the petition, it was dismissed with costs. Mr. Roxburgh entered the Court at 12 o'clock, being the time he considered was appointed, and pressed for leave to re-advcrtize, and that his honour Nsould make an order to re-hear the petition, as there was a stamp for 10/. on the petition. His Honour Feld that he Would be glad to relieve the petitioner if ha could, but lie did not ;]en that he bad the pover. The petition therefore stood dismissed. The mint in Paris is now busily employed in striking off a large amount of coins. , 7 birbr Mbttton GOVERNMENT AUTHORISATION THE BANK OF ENGLAND TO EXTEND ITS ISSUE OF NOTES. DOWNING-STREET, 12TH NOT. GENTLEMEN, Her Majesty's Government have observed with great concern the serious consequences which have ensued from the recent failure of certain joint-stock banks in England and Scotland, as well as of certain large mercantile firms, chiefly connected with the American trade. The discredit and distrust which have resulted from these events, and the withdrawal of a large amount of the paper circulation authorised by the existing Bank Acts, appear to her Ma jesty's Government to render it necessary for them to inform the Bank of England, that if they should be unable in the present emergency to meet the demands for discounts and advances upon approved securities, without exceeding the limits of their circulation prescribed by the Act of 1844, the Government will be prepared to propose to Parliament, upon its meeting, a Bill of Indemnity for any excess so issued. In order to prevent this temporary relaxation of the law being extended beyond the actual neces sities of the occasion, her Majesty's Government are of opinion that the Bank terms of discount should not be reduced below their present rate. Her Majesty's Government reserve, fort future consideration, the appropriation of anyprofit which may arise upon issues in excess of the statutory amount. Her Majesty's Government are fully impressed with the importance of maintaining the letter of the law, even in a time of considerable mercantile difficulty, but they believe that, for the removal of apprehensions which have checked the course of monetary transactions, such a measure as is now contemplated has become necessary, and they rely upon the discretion and prudence of the directors for confining its operation within the strict limits of the exigencies of the case.

STEALING A COPPER.—Henry Searle was placed at the bar before Mr. Bingham charged with stealing a cop per, value 15s, the property of Mr. H. W. Greenshiels, tailor, 40, Berwick-street, Soho. About seven o'clock this morning the prosecutor had occasion to go into his back kitchen, when he was sur prised to find the prisoner secreted behind the door, and on being questioned he gave each evasive answers as to who he was, and the cause of his being there, that pro secutor suspected his intention was to commit a robbery and told him so. The prisoner thereupon rushed upon him and seized him by the collar. A struggle ensued, and daring the struggle he dragged the prisoner into the yard, where he called for assistance. A constable came in shortly afterwards, and took the prisoner into custody. On going over the premises prosecutor discovered that the copper produced was found to have been removed from the kitchen, and packed up ready to be carried off. Prosecutor said he did net wish to press the case heavily against the prisoner, and begged of his worship not to send it to the Sessions. The prisoner, who pleaded guilty to the charge, was committed to the House of Correction for three months, with hard labour. DISORDERLY PAUPERS.--A batch of seven sturdy young girls were charged with being disorderly and threatening to break the windows of St. Martin's Work house. The prisoners applied for admittance to the house last night, but iu consequence of the wards being full they could not be admitted. They then filled their hands with stones, and threatened to smash the windows. A policeman was sent for, and took them into custody. 14 days each. "TEE DEAD LOCK."

H. R. WHISTLER & Co., Virginia Buildings, South Chapel-street. A letter from Marseilles, of the 10th inst., states that, during the previous 15 days, from 50 to 60 merchant ships, which sailed thence for various ports, but princi pally for the Levant, had been tamed to return and seek shelter in the Frioul, many of them sorely damaged. The S.S.E. winds, which have prevailed at Marseilles for several days, have prevented the ships in the port from aging. TUB TEIIPLE CHRYSANTHEMUMS. I Cultivated by J. Dale, Gardener to the Hon. Society of the Middle Temple. The beautiful Gardens of the Temple—always attractive throughout the year, always a charming "green pleasaunee" upon the banks of the Thames, between Waterloo and Blackfriars Bridges—have of late become really one of the loveliest Sights of London in November. By that time they are literally one blaze of Chrysanthemums. They are so at this moment, and they will well repay the visit of any Londoner. The " show," for this F•eason, in both the gardens, both Inner and Middle, is more than usually magnificent : the latter especially—namely, the show in the Gar den of the Middle Temple, where Mr. Dale's success for the present year is, in truth, something quite triumphant. Talk of the bouquets of a Pyrotechnist! —all the glorious colours ever brought together, in the shape of fireworks, arepositively as nothing to the superb "burst" of colours in these chrysanthemums. Colours the most exquisite and the most varied, the most brilliant and the most delicate—red-orange, and rosy-lilac ! golden-amber and ivory -white ! peach, and amaranth, and crimson, and orange carmine, and rosy-buff, and purple-canary ! Quilled and striped, and minutely-tipped at every petal's point with radiant hues—sometimes fiery-red, or pale-sulphur, or orange-nankeen ! Here, for ex ample, is a catalogue of perhaps the very " pick" and "glory" of the Middle Temple garden at this moment : Alfred Salter—delicate peach Arigena—amaranth Anazo—red orange Beauty—peach Cardinal—golden amber Cassy—orange and rose Dupont de L'Eure—orange and carmine Golden Cluster—gold Hermine— blush, petals striped up the back with purple King —light peach Leon Lequay—lilac L'Emir—light red crimson Lysias—red orange Madame Poggi—crim son Nonpareil —rosy lilac Orlando—rosy buff Phidias—rose and blush Pio Nono—lndian red and gold Plutus—bright gold Queen of England—blush Racine—gold and brown points Them is—rose Trilby—blush Two-c - oloured Incurved—salmon and red—fine but sby Versailles Defiance—bright rosy lilac Vesta—ivory white TVeib' Delight—very bright yellow Comparatively brief though the list is when con trasted with the actual contents of the garden, it may afford some notion at any rate of the variety and splendour of the Middle Temple show of chry santhemums. It is taken—the above catalogue— from the 9th page of the 2nd edition of Mr. Dale's charming little treatiseon "The Crhysanthemum," recently published by Mr. Hodson, of Portugal street, Lincoln's-inn. A graceful little pamph let which we are glad to see is announced very speedily to be followed by another (we presume a companion) production from the same hand—a brochure advertised under the title of " The Town Garden and its Management." Mr. Dale has certainly shown himself to be a very competent authority both in regard to the " Town Garden" generally, and " The Chrysanthemum" in particular. And in splendid evidence of which— then e is that blooming array of flowers now visible to anyone who cares to go and seem them—yonder, in that lovely and secluded garden, lying (a very oasis in our smoky London !) midway between the Thames and the Temple fountain. POSSIBLE RESULTS OF THE AMERICAN CRISIS. The Meta York Herald says :—" We have re peatedly called attention to the hundreds of thou. sands of men, in the vigour of youth and the prime of manhood, that are now thrown out of employ ment in our midst, and who are ready f or an y en terprise, any prospect of advancement, that may present itself to them. Their condition h ere i s no t like the condition of the poverty-stricken classes of Europe. There are no standing armies, no ad mitted social organisation of superior and inferior classes to keep them down and force them to suffer in silence and inaction. Individual enterprise is free, and every man may go where he likes and as he likes, with arms in his hands or without them, provided he does not infringe the laws by making an armed. organisation within our territory. To this we have to add the facility with which every man among us abandons one vocation and takes up another, and tliocce military tastes that lead all our youth to play the soldier, and practice the use of arms at his lei sure, and merely as a matter of amusement. Ever since we were a nation our people have gone on martialising themselves, till now we are the most military people on the face of the earth, and our vo lunteer service is the most popular army in the world. While such is the condition of the people, the position of our public and representative men is equally striking. During the political canvass a year ago Mr. Buchanan's opponents dared not use against him, to any great extent, his participa tion in the Ostend manifesto, for they well knew that it would operate much more to his benefit than to his injury among the masses. Now, when a financial revulsion has swept away all the old political issues that once divided parties among us, and new forms of public) agitation are springing into life, a clique of shrewd sectional lead ers are !seizing upon certain popular cries, in order, if possible, to force the Administration into carrying out the policy of the Ostend Manifesto. Just causes of war can be found at any moment that will readily influence the popular mind. The elements of war are effervescing within and around us. Whatever may bo the wishes of Mr. Buchanan and his Cabinet—and there is no doubt of their desire to preserve peace, and their determination to pre vent illegal expeditions from our shore , ,—there is no telling how soon they may be carried irresistibly into a popular foreign war, and forced to give em ployment to the hundred thousand men that are at this moment ready to embark in any Filli buster expedition, and thus meet the exigency of southward expansion, and an equilibrisation of the Senate. We are now in the midst of revolutionary times, when the minds of men are becoming ready for any and every des perate enterprise ; and if we do not get some kind of a war upon our hands to work off the surplus energy and enterprise that will soon be unemployed among us, we may anticipate that it will follow the lead of private individuals and develope a Fili bustering spirit such as has never before been seen. Let but one partially successful leader any where show an opening and an opportunity, and voluntary emigration will become the order of the day, and such a tide will be poured forth from these States as will astonish the world. It will not be composed, like the armies of Europe, of the rabble drawn from the purlieus of crowded cities, fit food for powder only. Mechanics skilled in every art that the labour of civilized man knows ; agriculturists, familiar with all the soils and products of the earth ; mer chants bred to trade, and who are capable of organ izing the commerce of any new country at once ; young politicians, ambitious and competent to be come statesmen in a new community ; inventors, that with a jack knife and a piece of wire are capa ble of building a steam-engine ; labourers, inured to toil and with a ready adatability to every kind of work ; priests to build churches ; lawyers to frame cedes ; doctors and surgeons to attend the wounded ; officers trained to the art of war in every class of military school, from West Point to the worst fur nished State academy ; and hosts of men ready and capable of turning their hands to anything—these are the multitudes that are being now thrown out of work here, and who want only half a chance to overrun Mexico, Central America, St. Domingo, Cuba, or any other of the countries that are now going through the disintegrating progress of pre paring for the advent of the Filibusters. We shall need a war to start the life currents of the body politic and to clear the atmosphere. This country is ready for it ; the people are readyfor it—all are trained to the use of arms. Ppest and layman, mechanic and labourer, professional man and he without a profession, master and apprentice, high and low, rich and poor, all know how to use the rifle ; and when they have nothing else to do all are ready to use it. In this state of things, look out for wild fruit from the present revulsion. The Filibusters are on the watch, and war is always a popular cry. It will be more so than ever during the coming year." The two streets of the north and west of the Institu tion of the Blind School have just received the names of the Rues Bertrand and Duroc. THE SAMARITAN INSTITUTION.—Last night a meeting was held at the Vestry-room, St. Andrew's, Holborn, to take into consideration the pecuniary loss sustained by Mr. Potter in the law proceedings connected with the suppression of the so-called Samaritan Institution. It appeared from the statements made at the meeting, that the costs of Mr. Potter iu defending the action brought against him by Mr. Barber, the secretary of the institution, were 259/., a sum which he has to pay, although the verdict was in his favour. The friends of both parties were present, and the proceedings were of an excited character ; resolutions were, however, passed, declaring the sympathy of the meeting with Mr. Potter, and appointing a committee to raise a fund to reimburse to him his outlay, the opinion of the majority being that he had performed a public service. 82 68 70 li 50 i li 1221 lf 45i 6 i 88i 9 8 9 100 1 [4i 92i 3 2i 3i 3114 82 li 3 331 44 5 79i 80 791 80i 54 43i 4,i 5 88/ 9 8 9 45i 75 i 4i 6 12i i 59i i 60 b 9 101 i i 14i 5k 33 2i 2 201 I 17 161 Gi i 7 1041 102 1i 106 i 53 21120 126 108 7i LITERATURE. Captain, Mayne Beid's Romances. J. and C. Brown and Company. Conspicuous among the popular reprints pouring from the press of late in all directions, are these four really beautiful volumes, comprising those four remarkable works which, beyond all others from the same hand, have made for Capt. Mayne Reid his hieh, and deservedly high, reputation. "The Rifle Rangers"—the earliest of his literary per formances. " The Scalp Hunters"—the best among themall, at any rate in our estimation, and certainly the most brilliantly imaginative and adventurous. " The White Chief "—full from first to last of fasci nation. Finally, to crown all, the latest of these singularly original narratives, to wit, " The Quad roon "—long the principal attraction of Chambers's Edinburgh Journal, and now for the first time issued from the press as a separate and complete publication. Altogether the series can scarcely by possibility prove otherwise than eminently succss fut. Each volume is in cost so comparatively trifling, at the same time that it is in mere external appearance peculiarly worthy of preservation. The works are admirably printed, and beyond this— thanks to Harvey's pencil plentifully embel lished with appropriate, and some of them wonder fully clever and striking illustrations. Witness this the astounding vengeance of the "White Chief " towards the close of the fiction so entitled —where the two horsemen, with their chargers blindfolded, have plunged sheer down into the abyss from the brink of the appalling precipice. Children's Story Books. J. and C. Brown and Company. These are several charming little tales for young children, written by various hands, and published by the Messrs. Brown simultaneously. They are of the same class, for the most part, with. Bogue's 'pretty child's story " Mia and Char lie." They are, one or two of them, in na tural grace worthy of Mary Hewitt, and in moral elevation of tone not unworthy of Har riet Martineau. Foremost among them in interest is one entitled "The Young Marquis," by Amelia Edwards. It is " A story from a Reign," and re lates to the first French Revolution—the Revolu tion—always an enthralling epoch for the roman oist. Another—" a story for youth"—is by Mar garet Pinchard ; and is called "Prevarication." Another, of larger dimensions, designated "Blanche's Wanderings ; or, the Guiding-Hand, g comes to us from the guiding-hand of Mary Hall. The last mentioned narrative is inscribed by the author to Sir E. B. Lytton, " with permission." It comes before its young readers therefore under ra ther alluring auspices. A fourth volumette yet re mains to be particularised. .It is a miniature fiction by a well known writer, by no other than Leitch Ritchie, and is simply headed " The New Shilling." It occupiei only, however, one third of the little volume—the remaining two thirds being dedicated to the maiden work of Miss Grace Nor man Ritchie, a sweet little child's story, entitled The Little Heroine"—over which many a little heroine will linger delighted. The Highlanders of Glen Ora: By James Grant. Brown and Co. Another " Romance of War," by the author of the same—an author by this time both popular and voluminous. It is in many respects a fiction wor thy of the writer of " The Aide-de-Camp," and The Yellow Frigate," and those other tales of Scottish Chivalry, among which "The Highlanders of Glen Ora," will occupy no mean position. The story is full of adventure ; and—remembering Mr. Snobleigh, and Sir Horace, Minnie, and Mr. Ephraim Snaggs—full also of clearly-defined and nicely- disc rimi u ated character. Autumn, Leaves : Brucks. Poems. By Dunsterville Hogg and Sons. _ _ _ ' Loaves newly fallenpreniaturely withered. Blossoms that have dropped long before the fruit season—pale for the most part, yet hectic here and there with the canker in them. The significance of she little brochure (of just 76 pages) is soon told. It is explained by the simple inscription upon the fly-leaf, immediately after the title-page : an in scription as follows—George Alexander Dunster ville Brucks, son of George Barnes Brucks, Captain and Senior Officer in the Indian Navy, and of Mar garet, his wife, born April 12, 1834, died February 3, 1857. Upon the fly-leaf following—this brief sen tence, written, one might conjecture, from the tally deathbed upon the eve of dissolution, " I must leave my little book to the friend'y considerations of those who take au interest in such young authors, as lay their feverish ambitions to rest under the cool sods of premature graves. D. B." As such the tiny book is offered—as such it is accepted. And it is worthy of this consideration. Let "Hespera Gray" attest this, it nothing else. A tender Edgar-Poe l►ke love-lay, beginning— " I leaned on the village stile, Watching the star of even, When a maiden, a sweet maiden, a rare maiden, Came toward me beauty-laden — Came toward me with a smile, Left a light on all the place— Came toward me with a smile That drew all my thoughts from heaven To the heaven of her face." So seen, and so loved— " Gown'd in virgin white, With her steps so airy, Thridding the green evening Like a twilight fairy." One of the sweetest things in the book is a little " Spring Song," beginning— " When primroses in knots appear, And violets open their buds of blue ; When willows grow green round the lonely mere, And bees wake to hunt for the honey-dew; You may hear The blithest voice of the dawning year— Cuckoo ! Cuckoo ! And echo sustaining the music clear— Cuckoo l" A. pretty thought closes the volume—" The Broke* Vase : Fragments of it"—and closes it most appro priately. Several of these fragments, mere frag ments though they are, have about them a strange grandeur or a stranger beauty—as it might be with a torso of Venus or of Hercules. Remember Moore's verse— " You may break, you may ruin the vase if you will, But the scent of the roses will hang round it still." So is it here with the perfume of this pare soul— now vanished from among us and " exhaled to heaven 1" MARELTE I( Z.—(Tins Day.) CORN EXCHANGE.
