MONEY MARKET AND COMMERCIAL INTELLIGZI,ICE% CITY, Two O'CLOCK. The Liverpool Cott on Market on Saturday closed with a firm appeanince, 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 full quotation.R. 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 an 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 1 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 operationQ, and trade is becoming very dull. In addition to the inactivity of export business 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 have been a good deal of anima tion last week, the winter trade having sustained the inquiry for goods, and the manufacturers and others are proceding very cautiously. The effects of the present disturbed condition of monetary concerns are 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 24,000!., and tho liabili ties 41,0001. Up to the present time the commer cial interest of Glasgow appears to have suffered more than that of tiny 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 received from the outport, by telegraph, contained so much in formation that the letters and papers delivered this morning afford little additional intelligence, but they fully warrant the presumption that some time must elapse bef9re the effects of the financial and commercial crisis shall have passed away. While a portion of the New York press enpresses the most gloomy views on the aspect of affairs, some of the leading journals, on the other hand, incline to the belief that when the turning point 19 attained a steady improvement will ensue. And this change may not be so far off as many persons Imagine, a favourable influence being drawn from the stability of the principal mercantile houses, and the caution displayed by the New York City Banks. 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 cise 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 convenienced. The continental money markets are getting tighter, and the rise in the Hamburg rate of discount to 91 per cent. has increased the appre- pension that most of the hanks 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 16,9.08 0 0 420,078 0 0 11,075 0 0 3,838 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 of per cent. was established. This depres sion !was mainly produced by the unfavourabie news from America, and the fear 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 the first instance would have been greater if th e publielhad not come forward as buyers. There is a Steady demand for stock, and this renders the market some support. Consols for money have been 84 f, and 88a A. For the account they have been 88 and 88k The present prices are now 84 I, and 88a A respectively, being flatter again. The New Three per Cents. are marked 87k I, and the Reduced 84 q, 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 87a and they are now 87k. The 4 per Cents. are 97i. Some of the other stocks have been as follows :—Braziliau 5 per Cents., 100 ; Chilian 5 per Cents., 102 ; Danish 5 per Cents., 1001 ; Mexican 3 per Cents., 19i ; Peruvian 4i per Cents., 76.77 ; l)itto 3 per Cents., 621 31 ; Russian 141 per Cents., 951 ; Sardinian 5 per Cents., 89 ; Dutch 2k per Cents., 631 ; and Ditto 4 per Cents., 97k The following are the nominal prices of Foreign ;Stacks : Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5 6 ; Alexi a; 19 19i ; Peruvian 4i per Cents., 75 77 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 43 44 ; Russian 5 per Cents., 105 108 ; ditto 41i per Cents., 95 97 ; Span ish 3 per C en t s ., 401 40:7 - ; ditto Deferred, 25k 25. A decline of about to 1 per cent. has taken place on most of th e l ea di ng Railway Shares this morning, prices having been influenced by the de cline in the Cousol Market. Eastern Counties, Swath-Western, and North 'Stafford declined 55.; East Lancashire, Great Western, Midland, North- Eastern (Berwick), and South Devon, lOs. ; Lanca shire and Yorkshire, and South-Eastern, 15s. ; North-Eastern (York), North-Western, Brighten, Great Northern, and Caledonian, 1/.

(This.' Day.) _ CORN EXCHANGE. 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 fall 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 th e i ncrease, an d the imports from abroad were libe ra l, v i z., 30 , 216 qul rters of wheat, 9,389 barley, 30,843 oa t s, 503 b eans, 830 peas, 9,b50 linseed, 590 rapesee 1, 170 mu s t ar d see d , 1 , 210 sun dry seeds, 207 sacks and 3,765 barrel s o f 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 23. 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 sound useable qualities. The trade ruled heavy in the extreme, and the few sales effected were at a fall in value compared with this day ssu'night, of from is to fully 2s per quarter. Floating cargoes of grain were much lass active, but not cheaper. Fine belief sold to a moderate extent, at full prices ; but grinding and distilling sorts were heavy, and quits is per quarter cheaper. Malt sold almost wholly in retail quantities at lase wesk's prices. We were well supplied with oats, in 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 ou offer ruled dull, at barely stationary prices. In peas very little was doing, at lato rates. The flour trade was dull, and country marks wero fully Is per :SO lbs lower. CURRENCY PER IMPERIAL MEASURE.

The trade ruled heavy, at drooping prices. The arrivals of beasts fresh up to our market to-day from the north were rather on the increase, and their general weight was far superior to last week As the dead markets worn well supplied the beef trade ruled heavy, at Friday's decline in value of 2d per 81bs. '[he highest quotation was 4s 10d per 81bs. From Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northampton• shire we received 3,000 short horns; from other parts of England, 350 of various brzeds; from Scotland, 15 Scots; and from Ireland, via Liverpool, 550 oxen. Tho show of sheep was rather on the increase, yet very moderate compared with former seasons. All breeds met a dull inquiry. Prime Downs declined 2d, other breeds 2d to 4d per 81bs compared with Monday last. A few very superior old Downs realised 5s 6d, but the general top figure was 584(1 per Sibs. About 500 sheep came to hand from Ireland. We were fairly supplied with calves, in which only a limited business was transacted, at 2d to 4d per 81b less money. The highest quotation for veal was 4s 8d per Blbs. The supply of pigs was moderate, and the pork trade ruled heavy, at barely stationary 'lckes. Per BHA to sink tte offals. s. d. s. d. I s. 4. s . d.

ONE OF THE BEST LIVINGS IN THE CHURCH OF ENG LAND.— The rectory of Stoke-upon-Trent, Staffordshire, has 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 exceed 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 SELF-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 linos 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.—Mini»g Journal.

The regulations and schedules of pr'zes are on the game liberal scale as lest year, and are 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 t f all ages are admis able. NEW MUSEUM AT THE INDIA-HOUSE.—Some consider able alterations, to give increased space for the collectioa 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- Viing 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 co'umns 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 firer 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 wiil probably amount to 3,5001. Messrs. Hack and Son, of Poplar, are the contractors. The collection at the India-house is one of greatiuterest. Those who would study Indian archi tecture must go there to do it. Of minute carving and metal-work there are some beautiful specimens. —Builder. CROSSING SWEEPERS AND SHOEBLACKS.—Mr. Mit chell, a solicitor, accompanied by the secretary of the East London Shoeblack 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 pollee ; they would wear uniforms, so as to be easily distinguished by the public.

On inquiry this morning at the Bow-street Police Station, our reporter was informed that Messrs. Honion, of 25, Skinner-street, Snow-hi!l, had re ceived a letter from Mr. Hugh Pattison, stating that he was at present in Ireland, and that he should shortly return to Loudon, 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 Erring on, 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 wona than either of the others he had previously seen. On the same night a respectable man well known. to Erringtou, passed through the bridge a few seconds before the woman with the carpet-bag, and he has communicated to the police the f act that he can identify her. He says that after passing the turnstile he turned round with the intention of asking Erringtou for a light for his pipe, but that seeing Errington wrangling with a woman about something he changed his mind, and went on ; the gas light at the bar was so strong on the woman's face, that he feels canvioced 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. Professor Taylor's report will, it is expected, be in the hands of the Government this afternoon. SPORTING NOTES. THE AMERICA - 2 , T 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 Casarewitch has proved that it was not altogether unfounded. After a long series of ill•luck, after losing one of his most valued horses, Mr. Ten Broeck has met with a turn of fortune which will compensate him for his many reverses. What will "Porter's Spirit" say now after all the shameful charges made against the English turf and English racing men ? What will it say to the American horses achieving their first triumph at New market—of winning a handicap above all other races— and of being ridden by an English jockey ? Clilpatrick, too, will have cause for boasting ; for the statements which he made in his very foolish and unwarrantable letter had—it hal been proved—truth for their foundation. I was not far out in my reckoning when I selected El Hakim for my Cesarewitch champion, and he will perhaps for the Cambridgeshire present even triter claims to confidence and support. There were some strange " incidents" at Newmarket last week. The running of Apathy excited some dis cussion and it is even. said that the owner of the horse will yet be called upon by the Jockey Club to furni-b more explanation of the extraordinary circumstances which attended the performances. After the settling to day,-however, I will refer in full to the meeting, sketch the most striking incidents, and show the bearing of certain raoes upon coming events. Turfites go to Warwick as frequently as they do to Newmarket. The October meeting commences there to-morrow, and to judge from the list of sport there will his 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 shall expect to see the " blue and white aeeves" borne first past the post by whichever animal it may be carried. Fer the Castle Park Nursery, the Rose of Cashmere colt and Polly Johnson are the most attractive names. Codrington and Lymington ought to be the most promi• nent 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 Cestisewitch battle over again for the Roxburgh Handicap, their encounter will excite an interest which will be shared by all classes of racing men. 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 Lozie o'Bnchan and Sunrise. The second day's racing wid depend so much upon the issue of to-morrow's events that I shall not refer to it. A FRESH MAN. LAW INTELLIGENCE.— ( This Day.) CITY SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Prendergast, Q.C.) SMITH V. BESTED. QtriZSTION or 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 for defendant's costs. He would state as a ground for his application that the defence was that the defendant did not know the plain tiff, and never had any dealings with him. His Honour said the plaintiff had been in court, and the application ought to have bees made then. Mr. Buchanan said that he of course bad no right to ask until the case came on. The plaintiff and Mr. Davies, his solicitor, were in anoth er case an hour before, an d they left the court together, it was evident to'him that when plaintiff saw the case was defended, he thought it better not t go on. His Honour, after some hesitation, said he would allow Mr. Buchanan's coat., but it was putting the plaintiff to a great expense, as he would have to repay the heavy fees paid merely to apply for coats. Re therel,re should not allow defendant's expenses ; it was contrary to the the rule. Mr. Buchancan—Will your honour then sanction or tolerate that a man should be brought here fur nothing and not even allow hie expenses._ _ Mr. Ashley (solicitor) said that the Shoreditch and other court,* it was universal rule to allow costs when plaintiffi did not appear or were non-suited. His Honour—Well, we had 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 moderate in the City. Mr. Ashley—Yes the City in moderate in all tnings. His Honour said he could not make an exception to the general rule. POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day. MARLBOROUGH STREET . ALLEGED CHARGE OF CHILD MIIRDER.—Anna Miller, described on the charge-sheet as a neddlewoman, residing at No. 3, Golden-hall C nut, Little Compton-street, wa; brought before Mr. Bii•,c,i-hatn, charged with causing the death of her infint 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, toWhom she was known as a district visitor for St. Anne's and St. Mary's parishes for about three months, eacoe 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 astonishment she found it was dea i. This circum stance so overcame her that for a moment she could not speak. At last she called a young woman to look at it, and i.he declared the child was dead. This the prisoner denied, apparently more in contradiction to her statement. Witness at once went to the surgeon's, who was out, and she subsequently went to Mr. Cbam here, the incumbent, and on explaining the matter to, him he advised her to call a policeman, which 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 had done so for about six weeks, ever since the birth of the child, and bad 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 bad suddenly ceased, as witness thought, in consequence of intemperance. Mr. H. Jones, surgeon, Soho-square, said he had examined the body of the child earefully. Externally there were no marks of violence. The child was very much emaciated, which might be caused by disease. Without making a post teortem 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. WESTMINSTER. FICBOCIOIIS ASSAULT.--This day John Walsh, an Irish labourer, residing at No. 2, Exeter-building , , 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 bad several pieces of adhesive plaster on the left cheek, and who was scarcely able to speak, said that between 9 and 10 o'clock on Saturday night he was going to his wife with a pair of boots. On 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 bim. 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. He made his escape, and complainant was conveyed to St. George's Hospital. Police-constable Flinder said that on Sunday morning about 10 o'clock, while at the Station-house be heard of the as,ault on th e com pl a i nan t, an d 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 con-table to assist him, and tried to persuade the prisoner to go quietly, but he refused, and knocked him down. While on the around, he kicked witness about the body, and then he bit his fingers on the left band. (The witness had his hand 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 for trial. The prisoner was then remanded. LLOYD'S SNIPPING.--(This Daj 3 ' LONDON. Oct. 19.—Wind this day at noon, E.; light breeze, and cloudy. PORTSMOUTH, Oct. 18. —Win d, S. S.

The bodies of the murdered man and woman, Mr. and Mrs. Border, were deposited in the churchyard of Bathford, on Thursday, and besides their own re!atives, T. D.

By Mrs. Thomson, author of " Constance," &c. S Vols.• Hurst a ci d • 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 the most part to do with the natives of our country on a foreign soil. Sir Claudius Maiuwarying is a prominent sketch, and he is well descriloi. Some crime is 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 imperceptibly to 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, attracts 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 bumble family at a distance, but when grown up had been sent for by tier fickle father to grace his mansion hy . her beauty, 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 Lady Mainwarying is very 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 had 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 some disease occasioned by over-excitement. Horace Clavering is an interesting character, widely differs ent to Sir Claudius in every respect, and deserving commendation for the just judgment, and refined taste, which enabled him to recognise and'appreciafe 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 difficultiei, 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 iu appearance and demeanour) - no ()tie 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 lame from re garding in its true light the importance of Horace Ciavering's regard for her. It was nit as if she had been in a happy, or even in a peaceful home, but her position was environed by perils on every side, 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 peaple see 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 justified his patron's choice, when iu the day of dan ger he turned away from the house and relinquished Lis engagement. The secondary characters are very well delineated. The Cropthorne family, with their attendant satellites, Mr. Boase and Mrs. Flather, form an amusing interlude to the graver actors on the scene. The ingenuity of Mr. Boase, the impudence of Mrs. Flather, are specimens of the manner in which such worthies contrive to insi nuate themselves into family circles, which had not dreamed of such an addition to their numbers, and from whence it is often easier to wish them well away, 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 selves 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. Boase ; 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 follo wed left anything but plea sant 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 Claudius aud,,,some of the leading personages of the State. His early errors found him out at last, and what he trusted had been hidden for years was revealed to confound him in the light of day. This work will riot be found wanting in romantic incident, and its skilful detail of domestic events adds greatly to its merit, and increases its attrac tions.but describedhe p I t od s wis h ep e rlf r a o uy i ls n m e a aa talent a o nl one e nr t i in s wo a thsi often a fht r es, o lir f ni m cielt s a gn uwdi i ti t uh u s d i ni 9 s , this class of novels. " Court Secrets" will sustain the author's former reputation. The National Review. Chapman and Hall. "The Reform of the Army" is the first subject that meets us in the National Review. After con sidering the evils of the present system, the writer recommends three remedies : the abandonment of the purchase system, the gradual promotion from the ranks to c )mmissions, and progressive exsmi- nation to preclude each stepof 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 at ratting 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 ject, 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 the poetry of Alexander Smith receives a just and discriminating criticism. After praising some fine similes and expressions, the writer concludes by observing that the deepest faling of this sort of poetry is its ingrained untruthfulness. "Love of display haunts it l►ke an evil spirit. Language its ,x 1 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 importai.t subjects. The opening paper, "On the Possession of Land as an ludustrial Occupa•ion for the People," treats of one of those questions of social importance that require careful con'ideration. The agriculture and climate of North America is treated of in a subse quent article, and presents some useful statistics to intending femigrauts. 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 we do 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. The sum mary for the quarter and tables of average prices wi►l be useful to those engaged in agricultural pur suits. The Journal of Psychological Medicine. John Churchill. An address delivered by the able editor, Dr. F o Winslow, on his t a ki ng th e chair as presi deorbt,east the annual meeting of " The Association o f Medical Officers of Asylums for the Insane," is given in this quarterly. It has for its -übject the mission of the psychologist, and treats of the seri ous and important considerations connected with 't with care and discretion.
