111' N E "A P T 4..t1 Aran C 07;1E1P:10"AL INT ELLI ZC h. CITY, Two o'CLocK. . Accounts from Liverpool state that the Cotton market on Saturday closed quietly, but at full prices for all descriptions. The sales were esti mated at 5,000 bales, 700 of which were taken for export and on speculation. The Railway Share Market closed firmly, and a good business was transacted. at advanced prices. The advices from New York, to-day, mention that the demand for money continued active, and the last weekly return from the City Banks showed a further extension of their loans and discounts. The Leadenhall-street authorities have made a further advance of 2 per cent. for Bills drawn upon the Three Presidenc'es, Which will have the effelt of stimulating the drain of specie from this side, already so rapid as to threaten a serious de clension of the Bank's stock of bullion. Within a few days upwards of 400,0001. has been sent away from that establishment, chiefly to the Con tinent to pay for purchases of silver. If this efflux continues the directors will soon be compelled to increase the rate of discount or adopt other pro tective measures. Occurring, as this movement has, at a time when the demand for money has increased in consequence of Stock Exchange settlements, and the preparations for the 4th, viz., to-morrow, au apprehension has been aroused, that the improvement lately noticed in financial affairs has received a decided check, while many in their disappointment predict a return of stringency and pressure. The amount of silver on board the Ripon for immediate despatch to the East, as will be seen .by the subjoined particulars, amounts to 1 ,012,9631., and it is impossible that the bi- Monthly exports can be sustained at that rate, without causing considerable inconvenience. The supply of silver without recourse to the Continent is quite inadequate to the wants of shippers, and the result is, that not only may all the gold we receive from America and Australia be absorbed, but the amount of the precious metals at the Brnk must be further sensibly diminished. The following are the particulars of the specie on board the Ripon : Bombay (silver) ............. Ceylon (gold) Madras (,old) ..................... Madras (*ilver) ..................... Calcutta (silver) ......•• Penang (4'ver) Singapore (silver) Do.

There is an increased demand for money, and the market is temporarily rather tight, owing to th e arrangements for to-morrow the 4th of the month. _ _ At the commencement of business this morning the funds appeared heavy and drooping, as the rumour that Delhi had succumbed is still without the slightest corroboration. Since then a decline of about f per cent. has occurred, owing to renewed sales, the Bears being encouraged to continue their operations. On Saturday there was a good deal of excitement, and the speculators for a fall °ought back very freely. and this caused an ad !mice, but now, fuither sales are made, which have occasioned a slight reactionary moveme n t . Consols for transfer have been 90 and 904 ?or the 6th instant, they have been at similar quo tations. They are now 901 sellers for Thursday next, and 91i * for Septemb er.

CORN EXCHANGE. Most of the large country markets held on Saturday were steady for wheat, and previous quotations were rather exceeded. Barley, and most other kinds of pro duce, realised full prices. Very favourable accounts continue to arrive on the sub ject of the harvest, an I the weather is very fine for wheat cutting. The Continental Markets have been fairly supplied with wheat, in which a full average business has been trans acted at previous rates. In the United States scarcely any business has of late b-en transacted or, English account. An unusually small supply of old English wheat was re ceived fresh up to our msrket to-day ; but th, re were on offer about 1,250 quarters of new from Essex and Kent in excellent condition. As the millers continue short of stock, and as the show of samples was trifling, the demand for all kinds ruled steady at prices fully equal to those realised on Monday lest. The quantity of English wheat yet thrashed out is small ; but a large arrival is expected next week. We were well supplied with nearly all kinds of foreign wheat. Fine dry qualities sold at, full currencies, but the demand for them was by no moune active. Inferior sam ples were held at full prices. In floating cargoes of grain, very little was doing. A few samples of now barley were on offer, and the show of foreign was moderately good. The trade was far from active, but no change took place in value. Malt was in fair request, but not dearer. Very few homegrown oats were on sale. The oat trade ruled stea'y, last week's prices. For beans, we had only a moderate inquiry, at late rates. New peas were on sale, but they commanded very little attention. Old qualities were steady in price. . The flour trade ruled steady. In prices no change took place. The show of foreign was small.

Compared with Monday last, there was a decided in crease in the arrivals of beasts from our own grazing di - tricts, and the gener,sl condition of the stock exhibited a marked improvement. The attendance of buyers was tolerably good, yet the beef trade ruled heavy. Prices gave way 2d par 81bs, and a total clearance was not effected. It must be understood that 4s 6d per 8;lis was the extreme value of the best Scota. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire, we received 750 Scots and short horns ; from the north, 1,400 short horns ; from other parts of England, 400 of various breeds ; and from Scotland, 43 Scots. We were seasonably well supplied with nearlyall breeds of sheep, but a large portion was in very middling condi tion. The mutton trade ruled less active than last week, yet the value of the primest Delves and half-brads was well supported. Other breeds ruled heavy, at barely sta tionary prices. The show of lambs was tolerably good. On the whole, the trade ruled steady, but far from active, at last week's currency. The top quotation was 6s 4d per 81bs. The supply of both English and foreign calves was ex tensive, and the veal trade ruled heavy, at a decline in value of fully 2d per 81bs. For pig, the inquiry ruled dull, at barely last week's cur rency. Per Sibs to sink the offals. s. d. e. d.I e.

Here we can trace the master mind that has planned the movement, and the master-hand that has directed its course, but all bears the stamp of genius, in its highest flight of art, to paint nature. In this passage of the narra- 1 tive we are introduced to Guy Darrell, a grand character, and one evidently destined to play no mean part in this history, as his prototypes among mankind must a , suredly make their names emi nent, if not their ctreers immortal. It is a fine subject to dwell upon, that of the meeting between the two relations—the Haughton and the Darrell. They differed in age, temperament, and endow ments, their worldly fortunes were very variou4, hut there was one point on which they met—a kindred fteling, a congenial sympathy. Guy Darrell felt, r I hough apparently, of adamant, or, as his satellite Fairthorn expressed it, of gra nite. From • this latter personage, him-elf a picture of quaint manners and peculiar style, Lionel learnt the history of the families.. Dar rell was the head of both houses, a worthy chief indeed, although some deep sorrow had impresse I itself upon him, and curbed his career which seemed fated to rush as a war-horse to victory. What that ; overcoming trial was is as yet a mystery, aye are only told that " he to whom the bar had destined its highesthonours, to whom the senate hadaccorded its most rapturous cheers; abruptly subsided into a listless recluse." It is only natural to suppose a youth like Lionel being attracted and charmed by his kinsman, the interest thus inspired could not be exactly explained by set terms, or defined phrases. " Thera are human faces, which independently of mere physical beauty, charm and enthral us more than the most perfect lineaments which Greek sculptor ever lent to a marble face :—there are key notes in the thrilling human voice, simply uttered wbich can haunt the heart, rouse the passions, lull rampant multitudes, shake into dust the thrones of guarded kings, and effect more wonders than ever yet have been wrought by the most artful: chorus or the deftest quill." The few details given of the " still'd life" lel at Fawley, are decisive in their graphic touches — they show us the hermit man of the world, the re tired gentleman ; but the genius is held in abey ance, not extinct—it is dormant, not buried—and all things around him give promise of a time when he shall again be master of his position. The divine right of youth to have freedom of thought, before sin or sorrow has stained the past or gloomed the future, is dwelt upon. While truly declaring that never in reality does a man for ever mourn and "fel low the hearse of his hopes with the long face of an undertaker," but that thegreat evil is he is stranded on the present. While youth, like Lionel's, can look on all, "For him no rebels in the past conspired with poison in the wine cup, murder to the sleep. No deserts in the future arresting the march of ambition, said—" Here are sands for a pilgrim, not fields for a conqueror." From these partial glimpses enough will have been seen to convince the reader that here he will gather a rich harvest of intellectual toil, and feast on the spoils that were won in no sham fight. The friendly tie be tween -the kinsmen seems to strengthen as the time approaches for their separation. The life of Sir Charles J. Napier is most interesting and in structive. It is strange that the volumes on his career should have appeared almost simultaneously with the events that direct particular attention to the land which was the theatre of his exploits, and the centre of his thoughts. It is said that Charles Napier was ever ready 'for the opportunity. "He was the strong man armed—the good knight with his sword loose in the sheath, his harness bright, and his heart full strung, ever ready and able." The writer then goes through briefly the detail of the events which occurred after Chat les Napier had arrived in the " land of ancient tradition and glo rious history." He describes in glowing words the warrior's victories. " The mind goes back to the hero—deeds of all time for parallels. Napier's forces consisted of 2,800, he was informed the enemy mustered 20,000 or 30,000. He exclaimed —" Let them be sixty or a hundred thousand, I will fight." It was this spirit which animated those under his command, while it fired himself, and its works were manifested when the British troops won the field of Meeanee, and the British flag waved from the towers of Hydrabad. In dwelling , on these records the reader will exclaim— "Oh, may his spirit still our hosts pervade." In commenting on the further attainments of the hero, the writer laments that he should so often have allowed himself to be carried away by his hasty temper, and excitement of manner, but he remarks that his biographer is sill more injudicious, " thrusting thorns among his laurels, and planting his grave with briers instead of immortelles. ' This admirable article is concluded wilh these remarks— " Th e English people will still be faithful to the me mory of the good soldier, will do honour to the happy warrior— ' Whose high endeavours were an inward light, That made the path before him always bright ; Who, doom'd to go in company with pain, And fear and bloodshed, rniserags train, Turns his necessity to glorious gain ; In face of these doth exercise a power Which is our human nature's highest dower ;' and, looking on their deeds, will breathe the wish that it may be long ere the race of Napier be tx loot, and that men may be long forthcoming from them to write histories and fight battles." " North, on Homer" contains a review of the pro fessors's e3say, and declares he is the ablest and best exponent of Homer of the prezrent, if not of the living generation. " Scenes of Clerical Life" pursues the subject before commenced of Janet Dampster. It 'elates the religious intolerance and party spirit that excited the town of Millby. " Manchester Exhibition of Art Treasures" will be welcome to those who desire an elaborate and irate ligent survey of pictures. The article is principally devoted to the oousid.era tion of Turner and his works. "New Sea-Side Studies" presents an account of Jeney, which is called "The Paradise of Farmers," and also affords details of curiosities which will interest the na turalist. " Afoot" is an amusing sketch of ad ventures and misadventures met with in a tour of travels. PbrLugal the country here treated of, and some of the descriptions are attractive. The whole is written in a light and easy style suitable to what professes to be a vignette or sketch, not a narrative or listory. Dublin. —This number presents a considerable variety to the reader. The Cardinal Treaties of Mediaeval and Modern Hist.)ry are continued ; the subject now selected is the " Peace of Carlowitz, 1699." . The account given is patticulirly in' erest mg. Itis a curious fact, says the writer, that so many should have laid such stress on the Ottoman power being represented at the Congress at Paris, w i when " this imagined diplomatic pheno menon s more than a century and a half old." It was at Carlowitz that this event first took place. Further on, the writer traces the fortunes of the Ottoman empire from its culminating point of glory to its atter decline. In the time of Solyman, who was styled the Lord of his age,. the Turkish dominions comprised nearly all the most celebrated cities of biblical and classical history, the empire being more than forty thousand square miles. Turkey had to make many sacrifices at Carlowitz. Those who are too much occupied to explore de tailed histories of the past will find it profitable to peruse this resume of events, which brings the most important points to light, and conveys on the whole a fair idea of what should be understood by all. " Matter of fact and matter of fiction" is worthy of attention as it contains some very just strictures on the faults and follies of authors. It is truly asked, Why are the epithets " like a man in a play," " like an incident in a novel," the na tural phrases by which unlikely people and things are described. " Shamil at Home," affords some remarkable details concerning the hero of the Cau casus ; they are principally derived from the accounts furnished by two Georgian princesses who were his prisoners ; an exchange was finally effected between them and the son of Shamil, who was also a captive in Russia." "My Sister's Husband" is a most melancholy story. The tale of the " Partner's" is not continued in this im pression, which many will doubtless regret. " Madame de Sable, and the Salons of her time" will repay perusal, as conveying knowledge of an important time and singular characters. One of the writers of the seventeenth century remarks " One feels astonished at the number of women re markable for courage, vigour of mind, and force of character which this age produced." All the chief ladies of the time are here introduced, and it is especially interesting to notice the distinctive peculiarities of individuals, the tone they infused into the circles they gathered roun d them, how genius grew inspired in the light of their favour, and wit developed its keenest powers u nder their fostering influence. Madame de Maintenon is the last 1n the history of the heroines. " Four Irish Bards" are chronicled, the most importa nt of whom is Thomas Dermody, who died at the early age of twent in y- seven. With the gifts of genius, however, he herited its drawliacks, and he presents no model to admire. Among the v erses, ."First and Second," is distinguished for its touching earnestness of ex pression and melancholy softness, while " The Ivary Gate" is a light and sparkling effusion. Ample justice is render e d to Sir Charles Napier in Fraser —" Our past, present, and future policy in Persia," comes un 'er review in the first sill le of Fraser. The writer observe; that, however un satisfactory many may have considered the terms of the peace 1 tely concludes with Persia, few will deny that under the present aspe ct of Asiatic af fairs it has been very opportune. The writer takes a brief review of Persian politics, and concludes by . strongly recommending that ne uncalled-for con cessions be made to a Government like that of the Shah, which, in the present state of our Indian empire, would certainly ini:4consttue any untimely forbe tran e into signs of weakness and alarm. " High and Low Latittule," is the title of a plea sant paper en two recent travelers' tale. Lord Dufferie's Le tors from Hi;h Latitudes afford some amusing glitnp-es of Icelandic life and Arctic amateur voya;ing. The excursion to the Island of Jan Mayen attetuptod by the French steam vessels and the yacht with such very different re sults, shows in sufficiently strong contrast the re lative value of a courageous leader and an attend ant squadron. It must, however, be admittel, with the critic, that the adventurers appear to have run great risk for no equivalent object. The other work of travels alluded to is Lady Falkland's plea sant basket of Chow-chow. A criticism on the Opera companies is rather severe, though some of its obseivatious are just. A brief notice of the late Rev. Chas. Badham rendersatributra to a valued contributor to the pages of Flaw's Magazine. Indian affairs, which are now justly regarded as the subject of paramount itnpottance, furnish the topics of two papers. The first, on the Indian Army, takes a review of its c tnstitution, anti offers some suggest ions wor,hy of consideration ; the other is a briefer paper on the supposed crisis of the mutinies. " The Interpreter," a tale of the war, by the clever author of "Digby Grand," is con tinued with interest. The present instalment re lates an accidental explanation between the hero and heroine, owing to a mistake in a masquerade ; the hero's subsequent departure for the East, and his entrance into a Turkish establishment under the of l device of a " hakim ;" and we are also told of the death of the old baronet, and the marriage of the fair Constance to Count de Rohan. The story, it will be seen, proceeds more in accordance with the realities of life than with the exigencies of romance. The interesting memoir of George Ste phenson recently published furnishes the subject of an article on his life and inventions, which will well repay perusal. It gives a concise account of his life and struggles, the difficulties through which he forced his way, the opposition and abuse his plans encountered, and the clear intellect and un flinching perseverance that bore him triumptiantly through all. His integrity and kindness of heart add not a little to the qualities that rendered his name distinguished. His character, his biogra pher remarks, exhibits a striking combination of those sterling qualities which we are proud to re gard as essentially English. A third paper on Deer brings that division of the series to a close,. " English Social Life from the Thirteenth to the Sixteenth Centuries," is the title of an article on the Plumpton correspondence, which gives us some domestic details of the middle ages. The letters are curious as samples of the formality of the most familiar correspondence of those days. A retrospect of the session of 1857 takes a fair and moderate view of the position of political measures and parties. Bentley's Miscellauy—Bentley opens with an in teresting paper on the Revolution of 1830, founded on a French work that has recently appeared, en titled " Histoire du Regne de Louis Philippe I." There is not much novelty in it, but it will afford a useful outline to those who have forgotten the causes or incidents of the commotion. Dailey Costello's story of " The Millionaire of Mincing lane," proceeds in ifs usual strain, without any striking events. "Life at the French watering places" describes the maritime retreats of our con tinental neighbsurs without much liveliness or in terest. Monkshood continues his " Retrospective Reviewals," and gives us the first notice of Nar cissus Luttrell's diary. This work has lately been preyed. at the University Press, in six ♦olumes, offering much valuable information to the curious, though the extent of the work renders it more use ful as a hook of reference than attractive to the generalireader. The critic comments on the singu lar insignitictnco which preserves Luttrell himself. Most of the old diary writers, he observes. take care to write Me and Mine with a capital M, in the spirit, if not in the letter, they identify themselves with their chronicles, and leave quite as vivid an impression of their own sayings arid doings on the rea'ler's mind as those of any celebrity they treat of. Narcissus Luttrell, on the contrary, is contented with keeping a bare record of facts, the news of each day, without giving his opinions even, but with characteristic caution constantly adding, in parenthesis, "as is reported." " A Midnight Dream," by the author of " The Redcourt Farm," is the continuation of the story of Mr. Castanet, under another title. The readers of this tale will not be surprised to learn that the third bride of the surgeon dies suddenly in the same mysterious manner as her predecessors. Mr. Castonel is cer tainly a fictitious rival to Palmer, for the author has now indirectly laid six or seven deaths at his d or. The next instalment will probably relate to the discovery and punishment of the criminal. The life of an architect is continued ; and Mr. Grin ste-l's Gallery of Theatrical portraits shows us a pleasing likeness of the life and successes of Charles Kean. The United Service Magazine. —This magazinebas its usual amount of sensible and well written articles on topics both naval and military, which in the precut state of affairs are those of chief im portance. " The Mutiny in India," of course, is the subject of a conspicuous article, in which the writer does not take an encouraging view of the matter. Indeed, his anticipations are scarcely jus tified by the latest intelligence, though it is always wise, while anticipating the best, to prepare for the worst. A paper entitled, " Wanted, a Harbour of Refuge," arrives at the conclusion that there is a great deficiency on our north-east coast, and after giving the cage a careful consideration, asserts that there should beat least three deep water ports on t:iis coast—one at Red car, one near the Tyne, and one at Runswick, to the north of Whitby. In the gale of the 4th of January last 94 vessels went down, and 169 seamen were drowned within sixty miles of the Tyne, only a few being wrecked near the port itself, the residue either going ashore or foundering in the bight formed by the coasts of Nor thumberland, Durham, and the North Riding of Yorkshire. It is at this spot that Redcar is situated. The writer therefore argues that had there been an asylum harbour in existence there, the greatest number of these vessels might have been saved, the Tyne being to windward of nearly all the ships hovering on the coast, while Redcar was easy of access. Atter this important subject we meet with an article of some length, entitled "Society in Bom b,y and the Native Tribes," chiefly founded on Lady Falkland's entertaining volumes. " A Paper on Japan" is interesting from its novelty, so little being known or written of that singular Empire. The details of its history and its customs are equally curious. The Dutch, it is known, are the only foreigners with whom they will trade, and they have established a factory at Dezitna, the island to which Europeans are restricted, that they may be watched. They are forced to submit to such a number of arbitrary rules and restrictions, that the writer remarks they must find the trade with Japan very profitable, since they submit to them. T . e t Dutch, however, are not celebrated for gie t a ,e quickness of nerve, nor are they s uppose to nstsilo atroubl d n lely maiulychirnezunivree.nailei Japanese who stolidity in their dealings with the t t the j r e a c g b re o. e ra o c f t characteristic treat them with the greatest._ c a c ) .n, e r p P reign of Charles IL the English t inconvenient tea to open design by telling the Japanese ath t the English a trade with Japan, but the Dutchufrupstrated their Queen was a P ortu g uese p r incess.

Af er a long and elaborate treatise on " The Theories of Baur arid others on the Four h Gospel," we come to two in-rnoi ,- s, of Miss Bronte and Lord Brougham.

" Tl:e Manchester Exhibiliou" receives a cordial tiibutP, and the "University of Loudon and Middle-Class Educafou"a7e brought under careful coosiderafon. A treatise on " The New Parlia ment" cmcludes a very superior number of this quarterly. The New Quarterly—Has a comprehensive and attractive table of content. It devotes itself, as is well known, exclusively to ci hcism, and in that department it occasionally displays much The present numbdr, as a whole, is a superior one ; its subjects are varied and numerous, aid meet with moderation and c urtesy, though occasionally with keen and penetrati, g criticism. Travels, poems, history, n , ivels, memoir and political woks are all passed under review, and those who wish to form a general acquaintance) with the litera ture of the quarL-r will do well to consult its en tertaining pages. The Journal of Agrieu 7 ture—Th's journal has its usual amounr. of practical agricul , urbl information, together wi!oh its summary for the ()wider and . Ve regular agricultural stati.ti s. The traimations of the Highland and Agricultural Society of S :o tl an d, i are given at length and nc , tide some important subjects, among them the preservation of timber. It is not, naturally, attractive to the genera' reader, not being designed to afford entertainment, but is well calculated to give sound practical a ivice to the practical farmer, and to reduce scientific prin c'ples to a plain and simple form. The Journal of Psychological Medicine and Mental Pathology. —This quarterly treats of its charac teristic subjects in its usual clear and f ncible style. At the present time when attention has bean so recently directed to the malaiminiAration of lunatic asylums in Scotl:nd, the treatnent of the insane has been again bruw.Y,ht under discus sion, though happily there now exists but one opi nion as to the method. to be pursued. towor Is these afflicted fel!ow-creatures. The stat:of lunacy in Scotland naturally forms the topic of an article, and there are others which are not unsuited to ,the consideration of unprofessional readers. The in fluence of neglected brain disease on suicide, and the increase of insanity, are subjects that will not fail to force themselves on tne attention of the thoughtful. They convey another of the numerous warnings around us on the fatal error of Plighting the laws of Nature and Reason by maintaining what is justly termed the high pressure system, which as surely in the human constitution as in the steam engine leads to destruction and ruin. The asylums of Italy, ,Germany, and France are described with minuteness and precision, and their systems may be usefully conparei with our own. The usual statistics of lunacy and its asylums are given. ME FETES AT ENVILLE HALL. 1: The last of the three splendid fetes given by the Earl of Stamford and Warrington, at Enville Hall, took place on Saturday. In addition to the other attractions of the day an extra cricket match was played ; and from the subjoined score it will be seen that the Earl of Stamford, E. Drake, EN., A. Phil• lippP, Esq., and Mr. Willsher nearly played the gami themselves. ELEVEN. Adams b Wilhite'. 24 Griffiths Bell Caflyn F. P, Miller, Esq.

This song always elicited great laughter, notwithstanding the "general's" non-appearance. On the third day, however, Mr Nimmo, of Mitchell's, Old Bond-street, who bad the entire direction of the fetes, prepared a surprise for the the youthful heroes. Withoutj the slightest intl.- mation he procured the services of a portly gentleman, and having secured for him a yeomanry uni form, ensconced him in a tree, and when the juveniles arrived at the last line in their song, " Daes any one know General Jackson," the most enthusiastic merriment was produced by its being intimated to them that the doughty general was to be found in a tree near the place at which they stood, and from which he was most unceremoniously brought down. This incident, though in it-elf trifling, was greatly relished by the whole of the visitors. Re was taken before the Counte , e, who invested him with the order of velour. At the termination of the fetes the Earl of Stamford highly complimented Mr. Nimmo, of Mr. Mitehell's establishment, Old Bond-street, for the satisfactory manner in which the wbole arrangements bad been carried out, and to mark his appreciation of his exer• tione, his lord-hip presented him with a very splendid testimonial. Mr. Theodore Herman, the conductor of the band, also received a very handsome present. A. -magnificent drum-major's staff was presented to the master of the drum and fife band, and the Countess gave orders for a new drum for the little major, who is only eight years old, as a present from her ladyship. Highly at ractive as the previous Atm have been, the one just brought to a conclusion eclipsed them all. LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.) LONDON, Aag.
