'so Itk-T V 74 P T - sr „.? $441 0011 , 12 AND AFR.CIAL INTELLIG2.W.2), CITY, Two O'CLOCK. Letters from Liverpool state that the Cotton Market yesterday closed firmly, with an animated appearance, and, compared with Friday, prices of American and Surat were id. per lb. dearer. The sales were 17,000 bales, of which 1,500 were taken for export, and 3,000 on speculation. In the Rail way Share Market there was no alteration to report. Business in the market for foreign and colonial produce is rather inactive, and the intervention of the F;.3t-day will probably render them quiet • throughout the week. Superior grocery kinds of sugar are in demand, and other sorts remain at about previous prices. Coffee is dull, tea steady, and in rum very feir transactions are recorded. Notwithstanding the letters from Paris report some symptoms of improvement in the discount market there, and the Bank have increased their loan operations, the progress of monetary affairs on the continent generally is not altogether satisfac tory. Within a few weeks the Banks of Amster dam, Frankfort, and some of the other principal cities have raised their terms of discount, and the Bank of Berlin have just elevated their minimum to 6i per cent., owing to the pressure for accom modation. These frequent changes denote a very unfavorable state of affairs; but it is encouraging to find that the tendency in Paris is temporarily in the contrary direction. Whenever money becomes dearer on the Continent it always exercises a sym pathetic influence here, but the movements in Paris are necessarily more important than those in any other market. It is stated that the Bank of France is still obtaining supplies of gold, and the with drawals from the Bank here are partly ascribed thereto, but there are two or three circumstances - which may account for this large and ouclawu efflux. Owing to the perturbed condition of things in America, remittances of gold are likely to be made thither, in payment of calls upon the railway securities of that country. For instance, an important sum was paid on the Illinois Central, and the position of the New York exchange necessitates the transmission of gold. However, there is now a demand for gold on the Indian account, which, in addition to the Conti nental requirements for silver and the Paris Bank, will probably lead to a rapid absorption. Austra lian supplies are consequently awaited with some anxiety, and about half a million is overdue, but this season of the year is not favourable for quick passages, and further withdrawals f rom Thread needle-street are consequently anticipated. Yes terday about 65,0001. was taken away, and the Bank return for the current week is expected to exhibit some unsatisfactory results. Besides a reduction in the bullion it is feared that the reserve of Notes will be severely trenched upon ; for in addition to the commercial demand which is still very active, the authorities have granted a loan of a million sterling to the Hon. East India Company, on India Bonds and other securities. Taking all these circumstances into consideration, it would not occasion surprise if an early a Ivance of per cent. in the minimum took place, and some are of opinion that the alteration oannot be defered beyond Thursday next. The Stock Market continues very heavy. Several transaclions have taken place for money, but as they have consisted of small amounta, they have given very little support to values. Speculation is still confined within a very narrow compass, owing to the approich of the settlement, and although many of the operators are predicting lower prices, they operate to a very small extent. Consols for money are 90 to 90k, and 90i I for the November account, and the variation has not exceeded per cent. The New 3i per Cents. were 101, and Ex chequer Bills are Bs. to 44. discount. India Stock is 210. In the Foreign Market there has not been much animation, and the quotations have appeared heavy. Turkish 6 per Cents. have receded to 94/ 95, and the 4 per Cents. are nominally steady. Spanish 3 per Cents, remained at 40i, and the Deferred 251. Peruvian 3 per Cents. were dealt in at 541, French 3 per Cents 68.25 (exchange 25.25), and Dutch 2b per Cents 65k. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 5i 6 ; Mex.- can, 21 j ; Peruvian 4i per Cents., 784 9i ; ditto 3 per Cents., 534 4 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 44i 5i ; Russian 5 per Cents., 109 11 ; ditto 4i per Cents., 97'4 84 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 251 ; ditto Certificates, 51 6 ; ditto Passive, 5i 6. A moderate business has been done in the Rail way Share Market, but at a decline in most cases of about Ito 1 per cent. on yesterday's rates. Ches ter and Holyhead, South-Western, and South- Eastern receded ss. ; Caledonian, Eastern Counties, Great Western, and Midland, 108. ; Eiinburgh, Perth, and Dundee, and North-Eastern (York), 15s. ; Great Northern, Lancashire and York:4llre, North-Western, and North Eastern (Berwick), 11.; and North British, 11. 103. The Foreign lines were rather firmer. Northern of France im proved 5A., Paris and. Lyons 5A., and Lom bardo-Venetian ss. The Colonial undertakings aro exceedingly depressed. Grand Trunk of Canada have receded. 11. 10s., and Great Western of Canada. ss. to 10s. East Indian and Great Ind:an Peninsula are steady. Mining Shares are quiet, and exhibit no mate rial variation. St. John Del Rey advanced 10s. Joint Stock Banks and Miscellaneous Shares were dealt in to a very limited extent. Union of London realised former quo 4 ations, as also London General ,Omnibus Company and Canada Land. Peninsular and Oriental Steam shares improved about 11. ttITISFI FUNDS.-CLOSING PRICES - 7 -THIS DAY.

For. merly the Greek wines introduced into Russia paid about 50 per cent. lees than the French , b u t , as the duty is now almost the same on both, few p ersons will continue to drink the produce of the vines of the islands of Scopelos, Skiatho4, Mykene, Santorin , Naces, s to. The Greek s kipp ers are a l s o of opinion that they sh a ll soon lose a great p ar t o f the Southern Russia corn trade, as the ships of France now erjey the same privileges as the-e of Greece in all the Russian porte.

BURGLARY PREVENTED.— —John Cullen, William M.`Dona!d, and William Vincent, three ill-favoerel young fellows, were placed at the bar before Mr. Bing ham, charged with attempting to commit a burglary. Cole, an active officer of the A division, No. 317, stated that last night about eight o'clock he was on duty in plain clothes i❑ Duke-street, Grosvenor-square, when he saw the three prisoners standing near the shop door of No. 23, Mr. C!utterbuck's. He passed them, and watched them for several minutes, when Cullen left his companions and went insiclethe passage, the door of which was open, but in consequence of have been disturbed, he speedily came back again and joined his companions. After a short time Cullen repeated the visit, but with the like success, the other two prisoners watching his movements over the shop window. Witness then heard a loud whistle, and the whole of the three prisoners ran off as fast as they could. He pursued them, and took them into custody. He subsequently examined the premises, and found that the lock of the shop door had been tampered with. Mr. Ciutterbuck said his shop doer had been un lecke], but not opened, the prisoner having evidently been disturbed. The prisoners, who denied the charge, were remanded for a week. WESTMINSTER. FgannlOlN ASSAULT Zr A WOMAN. --Mary Anne Collard, a pretty looking girl, not above 20 years of age, was charged with feloniously assaulting and wounding Joseph Wiltshire, an artizan. Complainant said that he was at a concert at the Rose and Crown, Knightsbridge, last evening, when the prisoner, with whore be had previously been on terms of intimacy, sat behind him, and endeavoured to provoke him by abusing him in every possible way. He left the room, in order to prevent any disturbance, and went down stake. She followed him, when, to avoid her, he went into the back yard. Thinking she was gone, he again went up stairs , when t h e prisoner suddenly made her upon him appearance,and, ju coping on his back, made afurious attack with her fists. He received a number of violent blows in the face, and when he succeeded in getting her off his back, she seized a quart pewter pot and cut his head open with a violent blow. Mr. Paynter asked whether he had been taken to the hospital The police replied that he had, and that his wound had been dressed. It appeared to be very serious. In reply to questions from the magistrate, it was of former ill-treatment have occurred, she must p statedpas t, t..a that idayt an d at i et ff r differences had :tra epvar mn e e e ad n going o n f or so me time y during their intimacy. not commit a murderous assault like this. She is re manded for a week. LLOYD'S SIIIPPING.—(This Day.) LONDON, Oct. G.—Wind this day at noon, N.W.; light breeze and fine.

Blackwood.—" What will he do with it" presents us in this number with some striking and interest ing passages. The narrative follows the fortunes - of the " Comedian," and that wonderful man ex hibits decisive proofs of his peculiar talent. The adventures which he met with in the strange town are full of fascination, and the skill with which he combines the real with the ideal, and achieves the triumph of his art by faithfully representing nature, awakens the sympathy and excites the interest. He was fortunate in securing the services of the mayor, " who had one of those countenances upon which good - nature throws a sunshine sof, er than Claude ever shed upon canvas," but by his dexterity and daring be contrived to mollify the hardest, and charm the most callous ; and indeed he must have been censorious, or captious in the extreme, who could have remained an indifferent spectator to the impersonation of the soldier of the Empire, " who had fought under Napoleon at Marengo and Austerlitz, gone through the snows of Muscovy, escaped the fires of Waterloo, to find that the battle of life reserved in store for him still sharper con flicts, and demanded sterner powers of endurance." An article, entitled " Modern Light Literature— Society," contains a great deal of truth in its re marks, and is worthy of consideration. It enters into detail on the various sketches of society, met with in the works of writers of the present day. It calls particular attention to the fact that the generality of authors fix their personages in high life, even when the scene is laid in the country. "We remember no work of fiction, in our recent experience, where there is not an earl or countess paramount, a dowager or duke reigning in seclusion, or, at least, a baronet who owns the suzerainete of the district." " Our Hagiology" re fers to many remarkable superstitions and extra ordinary credences of the ancients, but it is useful to trace the causes of such doctrines being held, and, as it is observed, some profit must be found in the records of those who were the first to bring Christianity to these islands. " Scenes of Clerical Life" proceeds with the history of "Janet's Re pentance." In this portion a mee.ing takes place between her and Mr. Tryan, and the story evidently approaches its crisis. The calm dignity, and the stedfast endurance of the much abused minister, at last overcame the fierce prejudices of Janet, and she is lef in the prospect of obtaining more serenity within and without than has heretofore lo?en her lot. " Beloochee Traits" furnish a great deal of information concerning the habits of that race, and it is doubtless that there is truth in the opinion ex pressed by the writer that at the present juncture whatever will serve to illustrate the character of a Mohammedan people will be welcome. It is curi ous to follow the traveller's wanderings among a people so savage and uncultivated. Some lines on " India" are spirited, and express deep feeling for the injured ones. "The Syrian Route to the East" upholds the Euphrates Valley route in oppo sition to the Suez scheme. Dublin. —The story of the " Partners," is pro ceeded with, and the before complicated plot be comes still more involved. The mariner in which the crafty and cautious Aubrey proceeds to carry out his designs is well described, and hardly less ably executed is the conduct of Ingett, who was too much of a coward to act, but secretly applauded the actions of his partner. " The Cardinal Treaties of Mer.lival and Modern History," are continued. The Peace of Utrecht is the present subject under consideration. " M'Cormack's Grudge," is the title of a story which commences in this number, and which appears likely to be an effective one, as it possesses some striking characters, and records events that occurred at an cxeitieg periol. " Autumn Eclogues," by Jonathan Freke S'ingsby, are full of life and energy. The Haymakers is very amusing, the city poet arriving at the village with his mind rapt in the study of nature, and being , mistaken by the rustics for a madman, is very ludi crous. The followingverses are pleasing : Of all the flowers of earth, I waen, There's none that can compare With that which springs when meals aro green, And bears thy name, my fair. So bright the Daisy is sni sweet, Si data est la Marguerite. The welkin hath full many a star, The eyes of Night are they— Earth's own flower-stars the daisies are, The fairest " eyes of day." So bright the Daisy is and sweet, Si deuce est la Marguerite. Ah 1 Marguerite des Marguerites I My pearl of pearls art thou, The daisy wreath lies at thy feet, Oh place it on thy brow. So bright the Daisy is and sweet — Si deuce est la Marguerite. There are other poems to be met with, among them the " Artist's Motley Song," by Irwin, demands attention. " Recent Books on India," bring before the notice some deserving works, more or less in structive. It is remarked that " nothing with the name of India can be thrown away as waste paper." The article entitled " Vincenzo Gioberti," will in terest those who delight in theological controversy. It refers to the work of that distinguished man. A second chapter on the " Curio ales of the Eng ;ish Language," affords additional details on its structure and derivation. The " Revolt of the Bengal Army," is the subject of some remarks. After dwelling on the details abroad, the hems view of tha case is thus mentioned :-- "England will find in her hour of danger and difficulty an unfaltering ally in this island. Let her seek on these shores for succour, and she will gather to her aid thou sands of stalwart Irishmen who will carry her flag to victory. It is a proud thing that the first offer of a volun teer corps for service in India has been made from Ireland. The Tipperary Artillery Militia have led the way in prof fering their voluntary services to maintain the honour of England, and avenge the sufferings of her sons and daughters in the East. This offer is doubly blessed as an expression of Ireland's sympathy for England, and as re futing the slanderous sneer of a Continental paper that 'this war 'is not supported by the public voice. Sure are we that there are multitudes ready to respond to the call of more men for India. The sunshine of success will break out ero long, and it may be that out of this present terrible convulsion a glad result will spring. These islands may be knit more closely together than heretofore by the attemptel dismemberment of England and her greatest colony. Fraser's Magazine—This magazine has its usual share of articles of a superior character, which par take less of the nature of serial light literature than of thoughtful essays on books and men, on human nature and social progress, that, however much they may oppose themselves to the opinions or convictions of the reader, command atten tion and suggest thought. Foremost among the topics of the present month, is a paper on Manchester and its exhibition of Art Treasures, by a Manchester Man, who avails himself of this com bination of the practical and the ideal to give us his opinions on Manchester men, and on themarvels as sembled under their auspices. Thisarticle is immedi ately folio wed by one of the morethoughtful class, "On the origin and Function',of Music," which introduces an ingenious theory on the derivation of musical expression from the natural sounds produced by the emotions or passions. The beneficial and ele vating tendency of the cultivation of music is up held, but the paper is somewhat too abstruse and elaborate for the general reader. Mr. Buckle's first volume of the History of Civilisation in Eng land receives a careful and comprehensive criticism, rendering full justice to the ability and research evidenced in the work, while differing from some of his principles and his inferences. These, in deed, judging from the criticism and the extracts provoke discussion and challenge opposition. The causes and features of social advancement are discussed with care and skill. "The Interpreter," by G. Whyte Melville, is continued with vigour ; the present instalment, taking its hero to the siege itself, and describing, with animation and pathos alternately, the incidents of the campaign. A re miniscence of the cavalry charge is told with elo quence and feeling. " Shooting in Albania" trans ports the reader from the mmenur of past and pre sent warfare to the marshes of Corfu. The sports man's reminiscences will be chiefly interesting to those of similar tastes. "Jays and Nutcrackers" take their place in the series of papers on Natural His tory, which combine information and anecdote very pleasantly. " The Curate of Edenholm" is a brief sketch of a son's selfishness and a mother's self devotion, ending, as such romances in real life too seldom do, in repentance and amendment when atonement was too late. " form Draniaticre " appears at the third number, the first two having b-en published some years back, when the writer, we are' told, had not leisure to complete his design. Few readers, we fear, will pay him the compliment ) of remembering the introduction, so it is well that the present number can be read alone. It takes for its subject the " Flask" of Cratinus, a comedy pro duced at the age of ninety-sewn, which carried 1 away a prize from the rivalry of Aristoplianes. An article on " Art and History" trace; their mutual influence, as evidenced in some national character istics, and the artistic tendencies of different epochs. llt is interesting and suggestive, thou4ll its brevity i prevents an elaborate analysis of its subjects. Bentley's Miscellany. —The opening paper in Bentley's is on the all-engrossing topic of the Eng lish in India, and is chiefly remarkable from its being founded on a recent Fi each Work by M. de Valbezen, written, it is affirmed in the paper in question, for the benefit of the P..risrans " who went to school when prejudice was rife, and com mercial England was ignored by the French." Th e present work is especially interesting from its evidence of the impartiality and correctness which are taking the place of prejudice and ignorance. The " Memoirs of Beranger" furnish Monkshood with an attractive subject for his "New Book Notes," in which some details and. incidents of the old chansonnier's later days are interwoven, though so little is said of his literary character that it is not unlikely that we shall have more " Notes" on this subject from the pen of this clever writer. "The Sledge Drive to Church" is a tale of Norway, told with considerable skill. It is the narrative of the narrow escape of a peasant's family pursued by a a pack of hungry wolves during their drive home from a distant church in a lonely Nor wegian district. The story is simple, and the in cidents have often found a place in fiction, but they are sufficiently real and striking to give excite ment to the tale. "A Fortnight's Sport in the Highlands" records the perils of deerstalking. " Seven Years in an Indian Officer's Life " is the title of a narrative describing Indian experiences, though, of course, not connected with present troubles. The author of "The Passing Bell," a well known contributor to the pages of Bentley, furnishes a tale entitled, " A Mysterious Visitor," having for its subject the losses of an English family from the recentlmassacres. The subject is, however, so terribly real and afflicting to so many that is scarcely suitable for a story till time has softened some of its horrors. " The Life of an Architect" is continued, and so is " The Gallery of Theatrical portraits," which gives us in the tenth number a sketch of the wonderful successes of the Young Roscius. Dudley Costello's story is con tinued in its usual style. The United Service Magazine. Several very important subjects are discussed in the pre sent number. The first paper is on the late military purchase commission, and merits considera tion. It is justly observed by the writer that in terest and patronage are as fatal to military effi ciency as the purchase system. Interest and money —it is observed—are at present the two requisites ; "as long as we hold by them there is a tight shoe on each foot in our military system, and in getting rid of purchase, we shall only have kicked off one, and, perhaps, not the worst of them." The remarks made on military reform are clear and sensible, and evidence a careful examination and full apprecia tion of the difficulties of the subject. " How shall we supply the native army of Bengal ? " is the question which gives its title tothe following article, and after discussing variou3 points the writer ar rives at the conclusion that the best thing that Lord Elgin can do will be to return to Hong Kong with the Madras regiments intended for Bengal service, and to order the whole of the infantry and artillery embarked for service in China to Hindos tan, as he regards the Madras regiments with great suspicion. Captain Spencer contributes an article on the union of the Principalities, giving much in- ' formation respecting the races and inhabitants of Moldo-Wallachia, and strongly recommending their union under a constitutional monarch. A second notice of " Our Life-Boat," furnishes some strik ing details of the services rendered by life-boats along our coast, and some useful particulars of their necessary qualities and the most advanta geous kind of life-belt. The concluding article on Wellington and his contemporaries in the social circl , , is chiefly devoted to Talleyrand. It gives, however, some characteristic details of the Doke himself, and the following passage on his opinion of his gloat adversary's talents as a com mander is rot without interest. " The Duke of Wellington had, as may be very well believed, high opinion of the military talents of the Emperor Napoleon the I. ; he said, " I have always con silered the presence of Napoleon with an army as equal to an additional force of 40,009 men, from his superior ta lent, and from the enthusiasm which his name and pre sence inspired into the troops. And this was the more disinterested on my part, because, in all my campaigns, I had then never been oppoied to him. When I was in Paris, in 1814, I gave this very opinion in the presence of several Prussian and Austrian generals who had fought against him, and you have no idea of the satisfaction and plea sure it gave them to think that, though defeated, they had so much odds against them." On another occasion the duke also said, that he thought Napoleon superior to Turenne, Tallard, or any of the old generals of former times ; but Napoleon had this advantage over every other general, over himself in p,rticular, that his power was unlimited. He could order everything on the spot as he pleased ; if he wanted reinforcements they were sent;. if to change the plan of a campaign, it was changed ; if to reward services, he could confer honours on the field of battle; whereas, the duke and other gonerals were obliged to write home to Ministers, and wait their decisions, perhaps that of Parliament ; and he himself h a d never had the power of conferring the slightest reward of any of his followers, however deserving." The Dynasties of India form the topic of a paper on the struggles of Hiudoos and Mahomedans. All ❑aval and military intelligence of the month is given in full, as usual. Colburite's New illonthly.—A new story by the author of " Ashley" is commenced, which is in teresting, it is replete with that variety of cha racter and incident, which has befQra particulartly distinguished the works of this writer. The tale is rather a in:lancholy one, at least some passages are of a painful nature. It will most likely be more striking in the next part. No one can help pity ing the unfortunate Susan, deserted by her lover, betrayed by her sister, but it is probable that her after fa'e will be preferable to theirs, since the foundation of happiness can never be laid in deceit and treachery. The fourth volume of the memo rials and correspondence of Fox furnishes Sir Na thaniel with the subject of an interesting paper, called "Fox at St Anne's Hill." " Watertoniania" is the title of an entertaining criticism on Mr. Waterton's "Essays on Natural History." "The Swedish voyage round the world," which was cer tainly not performed in the English express style, still continue, and describes part of China. An other Scandinavian traveller records his experi ences of Siberian wilds. The Baths of Lucca, and North America are also found in the table of con tents ; therefore the lovers of travel will have a pleasant variety. Modern Fres.3h novels receive a severe, but well-merited, criticism, which attacks their false sentiment and glaring exaggeration. In any other form of literature their absurdity would be their counterpoise, but combined with the dramatic talent and the love of excitement in the reader, it becomes dangerous. " The History of the Newspaper Press" is concluded, and an article on 'Preaching," makes a vigorous attack on in competent preachers. Cyrus Redding contributes an article on India. The Art Journal.—The three large engravings of this month are " The Prison Group," from the picture by F. Bouvy ; "The Birth of Belphoehe and Amorett," a beautiful landscape froin the pic ture by W. Leitch, both in the Royal collection, and an engraving of Mr. Crawford's group of "The Hunter." The literary contents are, as usual, at tractive to all artistic readers. The series of criti cisms on British artists renders a worthy tribute to George Lance; and the seventh chapter of " An Old Travellers' Talk about Pictures and Painters" contains some pleasant reading. The valuable pa pers on the applications of improved machinery and materials to art manufacture, by Robert Hunt, F.R.S., are devoted in this number to collodion and photography. The i" Book of the Thames," by the able editors of the journal, brings its plea sant gossip to the metropolis. The Mechanics' 3iagazine maintains its esta blished character, and is admirably calculated to promote the circulation of scientific knowledge among those engaged in the practice of mechanics. It enables them to comprehend in some measure the principles of science as applied to their labour, and at the same time affords information of a kin dred nature on various other topics. Another advantage of this magazine is, that it affords an opportunity for practical discussion and cocrespon dence, so that if any one engaged in mechanics wishes to obtain any information or solve a pro blem, theoretical or practical, he can appeal to his fellow-readers, and have the benefit of their expe rience or knowledge. Altogether, its utility is of a high character, and will, we trust, continue to meet with the support and encouragement it merits.

" Lutfullah's Autobiography," ane other recent works are noticed.—The Irish Metro'politan Magazine is improving. One of the best articles. in the present number is "An Hour's talk about Poetry," in which a high appreciation of the poets' vocation is displayed, and a justly merited censure of the modern con fusion of ideas and words is passed. The severest criticism and the keenest satire would however be powerless compared with the extract given from Mr. Bailey's " Mystic."—The Commercial Tra velers maintain their little serial with spirit, and even those not connected with them will find many entertaining things in their magazine.—Betuton's London Journal of Arts and Sciences continues to record all recent patents and scientific reports, and has this month a criticism on Mr. Smiles' "Life of Stephenson."

The contest of the Chelsea Vestry against Cremorne Gardens is not the only instance of a disposition on the part of Parish Vestries to wage war against places of popular resort and amusement. The Argyll Rooms in Great Windmill-street, a well known establishment, one of the most popular in Lon don, which has been in existence under one management seven years, and during all that period regularly licensed by the Board of Magistrates—which gives regular and good employment to an orchestra of about forty musi cians of the first talent, and in the general businesi of the rooms employment to about sixty other persons, has fallen under the ban of the vestry of the parish of St. James's, and the most strenuous opposition is to be made to the application for the license at the ensuing session of the board of magistrates. It is also rumoured that the new Music Hall, now in course of erection, •lonely adjoining Piccadilly, is to encounter a similar op position ; and, as the fantastic spirit of gentlemen "dressed in a little brief authority," is contagiotis, it is to be expected that all similar places of public resort in London, where music and dancing form the staple of tha entertainment, will be the objects of a crusade, instigated and headed by Parish Vestries. Thus far the warfare has opened inauspiciously for the assailants. The Chelsea Vestry have been forewarned by their solicitors with the good advice that there is no evidence to support the charge that the Gardens dete riorate the adjacent property. We believe this to have been the only objection taken to Cremorne. What are the relative characters of the two establishments—Cre morne Gardens and the Argyll Rooms In their main features they are one and the same thing, music and dancing being the staple of the entertainment; Cremorne being ope❑ both in the day and night, and the Argyll moms in the evening only, from half-past eight till twelve o'clock. It is true that there are other amuse• ments at Cremorne, besides music and dancing, but these foi m the staple attraction, and both establishments are dependent for support on the crowds who have neither leisure nor taste for such amusements during the day, but prefer to listen to the one and mingle in the other by night. For ourselves we confess, with all due deference to that august body, the vestry of St. James's, to having been an occasional visitor at the Argyll. rooms during the whole period of their existence, we like the coup d'ait of the well-lighted, well-con structed and Proportional, and tastefully decorated saloons—we like to listen to the orchestra, the beat iu England for dance, and the cheapest shilling's worth of music to be had in London—we like to look on the healthful amusement which has become so popular of late years as to be almost national—we like to watch the fun which never breaks into disorder, and to parti cipate in the quiet cheerfulness which always prevails in this establishment. Also, at the Argyll we see every body. It is the reunion of the clubs the Royal Eaebange of free and easy intercourse. Hither go the best men of the country, not even excepting the magnates of the vestry of Saint James. Staid gentlemen with the r wives oftentimes delight to patronise it, quietly locking on, and sometimes figuring iu the dance. Eden Mother Church is represented, for we have seen very reverend gentlemen indeed of our ac quaintance, relaxing themselves in the Argyll Rooms. True, it may have been mere curosity which led them thither, perhaps to stimulate them to twofold eloquence in the next Sunday sermen ; but whatever the motive, the visit has been invariably enjoyed. The simple truth is that the righteous vestry of Saint James feels somewhat scandalised at the characteristics which dististinguish the Haymarket by night, and want ing a scape-goat for their virtuous indignation, they attribute these to the Argyll-rooms. We do not give them credit for so much candour as to imagine that they think themselves right, while every one who knows London knows surely that they are wrong. It is now some where about thirty years since we commenced tak ing a quiet peep at the various phases of life in London, and for tbese thirty years the Haymarket has always been the same Haymarket, and at some periods infinitely worse than it is at present. Where then was the cause before the Argy li-rooms existed ? If for the better part of half a century a manifest evil has been tolerated in the parish of Saint James, let not the blame be cast on an establishment in no wise culpable. We venture to affirm of the Argyll-rooms that they are one of the bestcondacted places of public resort in London, and that the crowds who attend them depart, on their closing, quietly to their homes. More than this, the frequenters of the Argyll rooms are not of a class who throng the streets at night. If the pretext seized on by the vestry of St. James's be good, then, for the same reason, should the Haymarket Theatre be closed, and her Majesty's Opera, and all other places or amusement to which the public go in crowds ; and from which, the amusements being over, they must emerge in crowds also. We cannot have places of amusement without a cer tain amount of inconvenience ; but for that reason shall some cynic, or some Dogberry, perhaps, anxious to dis tinguish himself, cry s out "nuisance." The traffic in the Haymarket is temporarily impeded when the spectators leave the theatre. The same thing occurs with the Opera House, immediately opposite. Cabs, broughams, carriages, eervants, crowds of people of all descriptions, for a short time, undoubtedly, create some inconveni ence, and as the masses gradually flow off, there settles behind them some of the dissolute, be it frankly said, who hare been inside and waited outside, or in the im mediate neighbourhood of both theatre and opera, and t i whom such places have always been an attraction and resort. These things have made the Haymarket what it is. It may be affirmed with truth that not one tenth part of the inconvenience arises to the public on the closing of the Argyll-rooms, which supervenes from either of the other establishments, and why therefore should the former be singled out to bear all the oppro brium of a state of things long existent, and to a certain extent inevitable ? But we do not despair. Many a pleasant hoar do we yet hope to spend in the Argyll, notwithstanding the vestry of St. James's ! An establishment which has so long existed without incurring a single merited reproach, and in which the proprietor bas invested a fortune, i■ not to be broken up at the breath of a parish vestry. We trust that the large number of persons to which it gives employment need feel no apprehension on the subject. We shall hope to meet our friends and acquaintances there, and enjoy ourselves in wit• nessing the enjoyments of others for many a year to come aye, and for that matter, dance too, if the humour seize us. Parish Jacks in office, thank Heaven, are not law-makers, nor absolute arbi• tars of our tastes and amusements. Poor slaves, indeed, should we be if they were, for they are the most petty tyrants of all. Mighty virtuous though they be, there shall yet be " cakes and ale, aye and ginger shall be hot i' the mouth too." Happy shall we be to learn that the zeal of St. James's Vestry works in a right direction. There is ample room for all their efforts—room too for reformers of all de scriptions, amongst the sinners, high and low, who abound in their parish, without attacking one of the most agreeable and orderly planes of entertainment we have, and suppressing amusements which are exceedingly healthful to our bodies without in any wise harming our souls.
