Accounts from Liverpool meutiion that the Cot ton Market on Saturday closed firmly, and prices of all descriptions were unchanged. The sales amounted to 10,000 - The Railway Share Market closed with a very quiet appearance, and Prices were at a slight decline. . . An improved business is now being transacted in the textile manufacturing districts of the North of England, notwithstanding the inactive markets in Australia and India. During last week, a pod demand f,r most descriptions of goods was ex parieucedin Matichestcr, Leeds, L .ic?ster, Not Aug ham, Halifax and Bradford, and the minufactureis seem confident of a further improvement - , despite th e hig'i prie.,s of cotton and wool. Owing to the preparations iu progress for Friday neat the - 4th of the month, when as usual a largo . Mass of commercial bills become due, the dem and for Money is increasing but althouAh the full rate of per cent. is now exacted except for the very bast descriptions of paper, there is an absence of Pressure, the supply of available capital still being very large. The terms allowed by the Joint Stock establishment for deposits on c All prevent any scarcity, and this, except at Periods when large payments have to be made, the bill brokers are very glad to transact business a fractioh below the Bank rate. During the last few days the settlements at the Stock Exchange have augmented the inquiry, but owing to the recent investments of the public and the numerous divi dends in course of distribution, loans are nego ciable at 4i to 5&- per cent. on Government Securities. The last Bank return is generally considered to present most encouraging features, aud the advices from Australia lead to the impres sion that the influx of gold from that colony is likely to be . fully maintained. Several vessels with large remittances of gold are now on the way, in cluding, the Norfolk, the Red Jacket, the True Briton, the Anglo-Saxon, and the Montmorency, and some of these must nAr be near at hand, having left Victoria early in July. 'The Indus on Friday next is not expected to take out more than 70,0001., and notwithstanding the Eastern exchanges appear firm, the- market for silver is very flat. If this drain undergoes any permanent diminution, the extensive imports from America and Australia will cause a steady accumulation of tile precious metals .in Threadoee lle-street, pro 7 ided no new demand for gold is created. On Saturday about 8,0001. in' gold was sold to the Bank of England. , Last week the imports of gold and silver amou nted to about 1,006,8111., and the exports to 250,1671. The advices from New York report increased runless in the exchange on London, and we may therefore calculate upon a continuance of specie shipments from that side. Speculative securities al -the latest date were rather depressed. About 310,000/. has been received by the steamer La Plata. At the half-yearly meeting of the British Tele graph Company to-day a dividend (after paying the Preference holders) at the rata of 4 per cent. per a nnum was declared upon the capital of 231,0801. The accounts of the two companies showed a joint Profit of 15,3121. The report was adopted. - There is a buoyant market for Public Securities, Sad Symptoms of recovery after the recent decline are now apparent. The transactions to-day have ziot bean very large, but in addition to a few pur chases by the Bears, who have become timid, the public have continued their investments. The Indian news having been fully digested, now fails to exert so important an influence, and some are inclined to form sanguine expectations from the events recorded by the Overland Mal. The fur ther decline in the price of wheat this morning, viz., about 3s. per quarter, also tends to strengthen the market. Consols have bean 90a for m3ney and 901 i for account. They are now 90i a. and 9 °U respectively, while for the Oct. account the P r ice is about 91 to 908. The New Three per Cents. B are 91 1 ; the Reduced 901 9 1 4 ; and Excheq u e r ills are 4s. to 33. discount.. Bank Stock is 21.61 to 217 . and ditto for account, 2 10 1 to 21.2. v ery few bargains have taken place in Foreign Stocks. Turkisir 6 per Cents. have improved to 9 A 5 ; Dutch 6 per Cents. 971 ; Grenada New Active, 22i ; Buenos Ayres, 85 ; and Peruvian 3 Per Cents. are 55g. The following are the nominal prices of Foreign Stocks :—Grenada Deferred Bonds, 661 ; Mex.- c . rs a . ll , 22 221 ; Portuguese 3 per Cents., 411 451 ; P eruvian 45 per Cents., —; ditto 3 per Cents., ; Russian. 5 per Cents., 112 114 ; ditto 4 Per Cents., 97 99 ; Spanish 3 per Cents., 40 105, ; di tto New Deferred, 251 25a ; ditto Certificate.;, 6 1 61 ; ditto Passive, 51 61.

It is confidently reported that the new title taken by the Marquis of Lansdowne will be Duke of K-rry. The deeicynation now chosen will b e most expropriat e , inasmuch as the Marcois is already Earl of Kerry. having succeeded as fourth Earl and 24th Baron of Kerry in th e peerage of Ireland on the death of his cousin, Francis Thorna, the third Earl, without issue, July 4, 1818, a n d hi„ El lest son actually bore the Earldom of Kerry ;13 hi, courtesy title down to his lamented deoth in August, 1836. We may be pardoned for reminding our reader s here that, with the excep' ion of the title of Duchess of Inverness, bestowed some years sinc., on Lady Cecilia Underwood, this will be the first dukedom conferred upon a subject by her M+P.ty since her accession to the throne. Our readers wilt net basi: forg6tten that Lord Lansdowne, as Lord Henry Potty, actually suc ceeded the late Right Hon. William P,tt as Charc , llor of the Exchequer and a' M.P. for th, University of Cam bridge upwards of 50 years since, ar:d that he has held a seat in the Upper House for nearly hall a coatis , y. having Lucceded to the peerage Nov. 15, 1808. L,rd Robert Grosvenor, it is said, will choose the title f Ln,rd Ebury.

Most of the country markets held on Saturday were well supplied with wheat, in which only a limited business was transacted, at 2s to 43 per quarter decline. Barley sold slowly, at barely late rates ; but oats, beans, and peas were firm. Flour was dull, and cheaper. The continental markets have been dull for wheat, but other grain has continued in request. In the United States, prices of grain and flour aro giving way. Full average supplies of English wheat were received up to our market last week. The imports of foreign produce were 12,140 quarters of wheat, 1,505 barley, 30,216 oats, 8 peas, 1,010 linseed, 25 mustard seed, 10 sacks and 1,653 barrels of flour. WOOL. 93 - 95 94 -, 96 11 - 13 During the past week, over 10.000 bales of low wool have been sold at public sales, at high quotations. Thus, the actual quantity disposed of during the series con chided is 92,000 bales-20,030 having been taken by foreign homes. The private contract market isvery firm, and the quotations are well supported in every instance. The im-• ports have amounted to 440 bales from Alva Bay, 1,436. from Guichomb Bay (South Australia),2l. from Port Natal, and 50 from Hambro'.

The general condition of the samples was good, and many of them weighed 641bs per bushel. Although the attendance of millers was tolerably good, the demand for all kinds of home-grown wheat ruled heavy, at a decline in the quotations realised on Monday last of 3s to 5s per quarter. There was a large show of foreign wheat. Even the finest qualities were neglected, and prices were next to nominal.

(This Day). MARYLEBONE. THE MURDER IN THE HAMPeTEAD ROAD. Cor nelius Denny was placed at the bar ; in accordance with the remand, charged with the murder of Gallo Benzonelli. It will be recollected that on the night of Saturday, the 22d inst., the prisoner, Cornelius Denny, went int) the shop of Joseph Baretta, confec Toner, 17, Adam's row, Hampstead-road, in company with some other per sons, and requested to be served with some ginger beer. This request was complied with, after which Donny lay down on a form and went to sleep. At about three in the morning the deceased, who was in the employ of Mr. Biretta, woke him up, when an altercation ensued, and in the struggle Denny stabbed the unfortunate man in the abdomen with a clasp knife. The wounded man was taken into the University College Hospital, where be died. on Thursday last. Francis Julian Hanley, 366 S, said he attended at the hospital and took the depositions of the injured man, as follows : "My name is Gallo Benzonelli. I reside at 17, Hampstead-road. The prisoner before me is the man that stabbed me. He cause into the shop at twelve, midnight, and ordered three bottles of ginger beer, and then fell asleep. He slept till three in the morning. I awoke him, and asked him to go out. On my doing so he struck me in the face. I defended myself, and struck him in return. He then took out a knife and stabbed me. Immediately I discovered I was stabbed I returned int) the shop. I told the boy, who is called Cmsar, that I was stabbed, and that I should soon die. Some one called a policeman, who placed me in a cab, and I was conveyed here." Witness said after taking the deposition in French, he translated it to Denny, who said, "All I have to say is, I am guilty ; but I did not stab him in the shop, I stabbed him on the pavement." Denny asked deceased if he would shake hands with him, as he was sorry. Deceased said, ",,Yes, but it is no good. You have brought me here , I will shake hands with you, and forgive you, if God will." Mr. Vincent Jackson, a surgeon, said when deceased was admitted into the hospital there was an incised wound in the abdomen, inflicted by some sharp instru ment. Six inches of the gut were protruding, which he replaced without making a further incision. Inflamma tion supervened, and he died on Tuesday from perito nitis, caused, as was proved by a post mortem examina tion, by injuries to the peritoneum, the effect of a 70 - 72 [l4 - 116 107 - 109 101 - 103 60 -- 62 10} -- 10 METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET. - , The total imports of foreign stock into London last week were 10,431 head.

(From the Northern Whig.) The weather of the past week has been highly favourable for harvest operations, and a large por tion of the wheat crop has already been cut down. Our accounts from various parts of the country speak favourably of the general results of the harvest, if we except the potato crop, with respect to the safety of which considerable fears are entertained. With respect to the. county Antrim, in the neighbourhood of Crumlin, the sickle has been used so vigorously during the past week that the whole of the winter sown wheat has been cut, and a great portion of it p?aced in stack. Indeed, Mr. M'Connell, of Sea view, one of the most extensive and intelligent farmers in Kilhead, had his crop of wheat secured in the early part of the week. The wheat crop has everywhere in this locality turned out extremely well, and farmers who have entered upon threshing state that it gives evidence of yielding satisfactorily in the barn. Even spring wheat promises better things than were anticipated some weeks ago. The prq spects of the oat crop have also been greatly im proved, and the present delightful weather isbring ing it rapidly to maturity. There will be no diffi culty in getting the grain cut down ss it ripens, in consequence of the wheat crop being generally se cured befere the oats are ready. The farmers in the neighbourhood of Crumlin complain of the progreits the blight is making in the early kind of potatoes ; but the general crop, consisting mostly of " white rocks" and " M‘Mullans," can scarcely be said to be affected yet. Meadow bay hag, also, all been .. saved ; and on the who!e, the past week has been everything which the agriculturists in this neigh bourhood could wish—,even the potato-blight, al though it has made its appearance, is neither so ex tensive nor so vio!ent as in former years. In the vicinity of Randals-town, the early-sown wheat wi'l be all cut down during the ensuing week. A large portion has alrf ady been placed in stack, and pro mises an abundant yield : but spring -sown will scar cely be an average crop, and is not expected to be ripe for anotl.er fortnight. The reaping of oats has partial) , commenced in this neighourhood, and will be general next week ; but the yield will not be so large as that of last year. The blight very generally appeared on potato leaves, but as yet the tube; s are comparatively sound. Our com munications fLom various pacts of the county of Antrim agree, in stating that, should the present weather continue for three or four weeks, the great bulk of this crop will be saved from the ravages cf the disease. The harvest in many parts of the County of Down is now fairly set in, and in general, there are complaints of the lightness of the corn. The whole way from Banbridge to Lurgan there is a regular harvest. In the townland of Lennaderg, a corres pondent particularly rewarked,one large and very fine-lookin g field of corn, in which fifteen reapers were employed. There are few districts in which so much wheat is sown is between Basbridge and Lurgau, and the farmers speak very highly of the crop. Anaghanoon, a townland near War ringstown, seems to have almost half its cultivated laud in wheat, and the appearance is excellent. One fact, well worthy the attention of the farmers in many parts of the country, is mentioned by a correspondent, who states that in no instance did he see the scythe used in cutting corn. He asked several intelligent men the reason of their not using the scythe ; and some pronounced it as " unagri cultural," £Olll3 as " destructive," and one rosy old farmer said that the man that had the hardihood to mow his cc.rn " gullantined 11:s best friend." In all directions in this neighbourhood the potatoes are infected, particularly the " Scotch whites " and " we tvers ;" but indeed all bear evident marks of the disease, yet• it is making but slow progress to the roots. le The continuation of drought has effected disas trous changes on the late potatoes in the. neigh bourhood of Saintfield. Two evils are at present at work here destroying the prospects of this un fortunate root. What was looked upon as meroy towards the e)rly kinds, with the blight on the haulm—thl absence of rain, is death to the growth of those late planted, as they want moisture to carry them on. All kinds have now the plague-spot on their leaves, while the roots are only being found on thoss planted towards the middle of May; so that the hopes of these latter are blasted. The grain crops are fast ripening, not, as in some late years, simultaneously, but afford ing some leisure to be cut down gradually, which is more convenient for the employer, in the present sca-city of hands. Turnips are said to be suffering from want of rain in this negh nourhood. The grain crop around Dromore is fast approach ing to maturity, and reaping of wheat and oats has been pretty general, and both promises an abun dant harvest. The potato "blight" has greatly in creased here during the past week. The stalks of e "white rocks" are greatly blackened, but the tubers are very little affected as yet ; and it is the opinion of farmeis that, so long as the dry weather cont'nueq, the tubers will not be much affected. Our accounts from the counties of ferry and Tyrone statei that that part of the country has had a week of intense.heat, which has brought on the crops more rapidly than reapers can be had to cut it down. The oat crop is much ligh+er than was an ticipated, and the straw will be deficient in quan tity, but the grain promises an average yield. The wheat crop will be better than any they have had in these counties for some years past. The blight in the potatoes appears to have been checked by the fine weather, and the only difficulty now felt is to get men to secure the harvest. Leasing Companies Ln. &N. W. E.U.&E.O Gt.Northn E.

A BEGGING FEMALE IMPOSTOR —This day Frances Smith, a decently-dressed femal-, about 25 years of age, was brought up in the custody of police-sergeant Hart, E division, and placed at \ the bar before Mr. Beadon, charged with imposing on the public by the following begging impo , ition : The officer stated that last night he was in the night house of Oxford-market, when he saw the prisoner, wbom he had known ,before, sitting on the step of a door. She had an infant in her lap, and was exhibiting a piece of paper, on which the following words were written, "Distress compels me to do this, not having any friends. Please have mercy on me this day, God 'bless you." Mr. Beadon—What did you say to her I Sergeant—l told her to go away, which she refused to do. She said she was doing no harm. Mr. Beadon—What do you know of her Sergeant—A short time ago she had a month for begging. Prisoner—l know I bad. --- - - Mr. Beadou—Did bias go quietly to tho policc statiou ? _ _ . Sergeant—She threatened that when she had an op portunity she would cut ruy throat. She repeated the threat at the station-house, and said that she would then do it if she had a knife in her hand. Prisoner—l know I said that, which was very wrong. I hope you will forgive toe, and I never will do so again. The prisoner was sent for one month to the House of Correction. THAMES. DISTRESSING CASE.--A TALE OF MISERY.---This morning, previous to the hearing of the night charges, a poor widow, who appeared quite heart broken, was in troduced before the magistrate, and her i loess and anxiety preventing her addressing him, a gentleman at the tat le interceded, and said the afflicted woman in the witness-box was the widow of a police-constable named Chapman, who was the victim of a ruffianly and das tardly attack male upon him in February, 1856, by a drunken fellow, who twisted his leg' and broke it. The unfe rtunate constable also sustained other serious injuries on that occasion, and was a patient in the London Ho, pital for several months. lie was never able to do duty after he was injured, and lingered until Sunday week, when he expired, and was buried yesterday. The poor widow who now applied for assistance wa-i in a state of utter destitution, with a family of ten children depend ing on her for existence. Mr. Yardley—l recolect the case of the police-con stable Chapman, and a very sad one indeed it was. Is he dead ? The gentleman at the table replied in the affirmative, and said his death was accelerated by the seriou s in j uries inflicted upon him in February, 1856. He could as-itnre the magistrate that Mrs. Chapman was a very deserving woman, and in great distress. Mr. Yardley—Chapin- , n was a very respectable man, and I took great interest in the case. The poor woman has ten orphans to maint tin. It is a vtry lamentable case. Mrs. Chapman who was sobbing loudly said that 7 of her chi:d:rn were under twelve years of age, and that she gave birth to the last a month ago and taen after wards her husband died. Mr. Yardley—l recollect he suffered a good deal of pain. What can Ido for you, my good woman ? Mu. Chapman, who was very feeble and could scarcely be heard said, she bad not a meal for her poor children, and was unainle to work for them. Mr. Yardley—l shall b© very glad to do some perma pent good for you, but I have not the funds at my dis po lSe f e or y%hoautryporuersefnrit use. friends can do, 1 will give you a sovereign Mrs. Chapman expressed her thanks, and was led out of the court crying loudly. SOUTHWARK. DANGER OP WEARING LONG DRESSES.—S. Thomp son, a nymph of the pave, was charged before Mr. Burcham, the sitting magistrate, with committing an assault upon Mrs. To w nsbend and her husband, formerly an inspector of the M division of police. The evidence of Mr. Towns , nd clearly proved that on Saturday night he was walking with his wife, when they accidentally trod upon the defendant's dress, for which they both made an apology. The defendant however followed them and made use of the most ob scene and disgusting language, and laid hold of his wife by the shoulder, and he was obliged ta call for the as sistance of a policeman, and even in his presence she re peated the same filthy expressions. Mr. Townsend ad mitted that either he or his wife had trodden on the defendant's dress owing to its extreme length, but it was purely accidental, and they both apologised, and were willing to pay for the damage if any had been done. The defendant said that the prosecutors did not make any apology, but laughed at her after treading , upon her dress. Mr. Townsend said that the police-officer beard the I language the defendant had used which was unfit to repeat. Thu defendant denied all Mr. Townsend bad stated, when the magistrate said that such language was unbearable and ought, by some punishment, to be put an end to. The defendant said, she was not in the habit of making use of such language. The Magistrate said that, as the defendant had been — 23,32 - 5 i a n c c a u u s t t i o o d n y n s o i t n t c o e d S o a ttuhredsaayn,leha g w a o i n u l . d discharge her with 1853. Casks. LTHE WEATHE;Z IN PARIS. We extract the following from a letter dated August 30 : A newspaper said the other day that Paris was left withaut a Parisian. It is no exaggeration to say that it is left without a single inhabitant who can poAsibly escape from it. Summer, suspended for a few days, has returned to us as 'Vigorous as if it were its first appearance this year. Hot though it be, people dare not complain of such glotious wt tither, especially as the knowing ones prognosti cate a vinta:ge of such quality as has not been known since the year of the great comet ; but they gladly fly from heated asphalte to sea baths and fresh pastere3. Dieppe and Trouville, V:chy and Biarritz, overflow, while here the t!lrong upon the Boulevards has lost its lustre, scarcely an equipage is to be seen in the Bois dp Boulogne, and iu vain the Pre Catalan throws wade its portals, lights up its 100,000 lanterns, arrays its dancers on rural stages, and illuminates the department with its blue lights and rockets. Paris is gone abroad, and the foreigner reigns undisptved master of the territory. It is a complete invasion, customary at this season, chiefly of birds of passage, who often come for only a day, but manage to pass a week, much to the comfort of the hotels and restaurateurs. Great Britain is strongly represented here, especially by he ilthy - looltitig gentlemen in capacious waistcoats, who seem to pass most of their time in instituting practical comparisons between Very's, the Trois Freres, and other renowned taverns, and whose patriotic comment usually is that, after all. you get nothing so good hero as -in London. But it would be hard if men who pay so well, and enjoy such good appe tities andfsuch constant thirst, should not be al allowed to grumble while consuming the bast of everything, and so the Parisians shrug their shoulders indulgt ntly at John Bull's eccentricities, while pocketing all the coin they can seduce him ' into parting with. The theatres are dull, as well they may bin August ; a Ft such version of "Jack Sheppard" is successful at the Porte St. Martin, its chief attraction appearing to be a very correct scenic imitation of the fog in which London is sup posed to be continually enveloped ; some amusing improprieties are played to empty benches at the Palats Royal; the Grand Opera, ballet-less, rie va que d'une jambe ; at the Italian Theatre an actor named Salvini is magnified by some of the critic) into a star of Ristori'a magnitude ; but there is difference of opinion on this head. The veteran Dejazet is going to give some representations, and one of her triumphs of former days, Gentil Bernard, is to be revived for her ; par contre, _ben-- vassor is going away. Vivier has gone to Ba d en- Baden, to delight the bathers with his in _xossini tible wit and wonderful quadruple notes; R is not composing an opera ; the exposition of pic tures, which has been extreuie thely succe ssful this year, is to be kept op en untilmiddle of Sep tember, in consequen ce of the crowds that still flock to it. - - THE LATE COLONEL J.

They have been entirely redecorated, and present an unrivalled com bination of richness, taste, and elegarce. The re-open ing was honoured by one of the largest assemblages we ever remember to have seen, even in that popular and delightful place of amusement. Amongst the visitors we observed many of the elite of the aristocracy and army (with whom this has always been a favourite resort) ; and, indeed, the perfect order and propriety with which th e es t a bl is h men t is conducted cannot fail to secure for it the most lasting and disttnguistheadape..vr .. tronage. The orchestra, under the direction of h conduc or, M. Lamotte, performed admirably, and under his able management the band will nodoubt add to the high reputation it has heretofore so deservedly enjoyed. Quits. A Novel. By the Baroness Tautphoeu., authoress of " The Initials." 3 vole. Bentley. Many novel readers will remember that the for mer work of this authoress attained some deg,o a of celebrity. The pregent work displays ability, and is sufficiently original to preserve the interest of the reader, though the events are in no deisree startling. It relates the fortunes of a young girl, Leonora Nixon, who is left an orphan by the 'Pad den death of her father at an hotel, on their way to England after a continental residence of many years. She hoes to the house of a cousin, Lerd Medway, where she resides for some time, but as he sets his heart on her becoming his countess, hie mother and sisters take alarm and send '=for his younger brother to arrange matters. This be does in a very summary manner. He takes his brother to Paris and persuades him out of his resolution, he writes to a city uncle of Leonora's, syeaking of her very harshly, and begs he will receive her, and at a day's notice, poor Leonora, who knows nothing of the reasons for the change, is dismissed to Rus sell-square, to her solitary uncle's residence. Here she remains ten years with very little variety. son wire, be is deter- Her uncle has an, only mined shall figure in the fashionable world and make a grand marriage. This son falls in love with Leonora, but his father refuses his consek, so he marries a widowed lady of fashion, and dies ater a few years. His sorrowing father does - not long survive him, and leaves all his we filth t - tY Leo • !lola, echo suddenly finds herself rich and indepen dent. Her indignation against Charles Thorpe, Lord Medway's brother, is not diminished by dis covering am gh r uncle's paper 'he letter he h,ad written about her. In company with the family of another uncle,. ifie goes abroad, her contirient el education having endeared Germany especitilly to le r. Here, as alt lovers of romance will antitifpate, she meets 'harles Thorpe, now Lord Medway; bus as he is travelling with a German ft ieud who mis pronounces his name, and she is generally supposed to be her uncle's daughter, they do not know each other. Leonora is accidentally undeceived, and dislikes him accordingly, while Mr. Tors), as'he is generally called, after vainly dissuading 'his friend from admiring the heroine of such vulgar connections, ends by, proposing to her himself, when of course he meets with a decided refusal, which leaves the belligerents " quits.° However, affairs are subsequently arranged in a more satis factory m inner, though not to the inclination cf Count Waldemar, tho German friend. The chief part of the story is laid abroad, and a good deal of interest centres in the peasant life of Germany, the love affairs of the village where the party re main some time, and the adventures of the " wilde chuetz" or hunters of tho chamois without permis sion—a more adventurous kind of roaohing— occupy a prominent position. Little is said of London, as the heroine's residence there was peculiarly uneventful, but the villages and views, the Alps and their storms, are described con amore. It gives a complete picture of German lire, end one by no means unattractive., while the bills and dales, the tempests and the cataracts, are represented in glowing colours. The story can lay clam also to a certain degree of resemblance to real I , fe. Few novelists would have the courage to represent their heroine as passing ten years, from sixteen to twenty six, in a lonely house in a guise: square. The characters too are life-like. Leonora, herself, is very attractive, and though the same c m hardly be said of Mr. Torp, he is certainly a very correct likeness. Altogether the work is of a superior class and likely to give its readers some pleasant hours. Nearer and Dearer : a Tale out of School. A Novelette. By Cuthbert Bede, 8.A., author of " Verdant Green." Bentley. This "novelette," as it is termed, is a most at tractive little sketch ; sparkling, brilliant, gay, and witty. It is the very 13,,0k to take up ou a tour, or choose as a companion in rural walks and sea side wanderings. It concerns the adventures of an individual who bad chosen " Used up" for his motto, and was dying the lingering death of "ennui," when a con3iderate companion sleppel in to stay the sacrifice, and suggest some excitement. There nothing more likely to rouse the faculties than getting into an awkward po3ition, and of this Arlington seemed aware when he propounded his scheme. The various adventures and contretemps that befell Sir Charles Chatterton at the establish ment of " Minerva House," are most amusingly described and ludicrously recapitulated. Mrs. Cia,pperclaw was a sufficient index to the style and character of her house— " She was a lady of large dimensions and portly pace,' dressed in a well-worn black silk, with a shawl loosely thrown about her shoulders, Stie had a dried-up sort of face, very like a kippered salmon ; she had a pair of spectacles, large enough for the bird of Minerva ; eke bad a black wig, coming low down upon her fore head, and bursting upon her kippered-salmon cheeks in a paroxysm of little ringlets, like hairy corkscrews ; she had a cap made of stiff and dark materials, from which depended two streamers, almost as stiff, and straight, and square cut, as if they had been designed for an Egyptian be4d-dress ; and she had noon her bands black kid gtives with the fingers cut off, apparently for the purpose of ventilation. As she clasped her hands tightly over each other, and stood up stiff and straight, she looked in perfect keeping with the room, and the objects around her—buckram•and-hackboarst to the backbone." Though outwardly compelled to conform to the mistress's strict rules of propriety and decorum, there was a strong undercurrent of levity in those who waited upon her, as was testified by the romantic Fido, and the flirting Dolly. It was a red letter day in the dreary elmanac of the Minerva precincts, when the young baronet entered the mansion. He had asked for a Mss Smith at a venture, but it happened that the governess of that name expected her brother from India, and he was taken for that person. The con fusion may be imagined, when, after giving a cor dial reception to the stranger as a relative whom long absence had obliterated from her memory, Fanny was told the truth. However, the other inma - cs were not thus enlightened, and when the real Captain Smith arrived, the surprise and con sternation of Mrs. Clapperclaw, who thaught him an impostor, and ordered him out of the house, created a scene that afforded Sir Charles more stir ring amusement than he had ever hoped for. Vari ous other trifles are related in a manner that im parts a zest and vivacity to the tale, while the mys tification caused by Miss Fanny's visitors could not be batter, described than in the lines on the title page : " Has she a brother ? Has the a nearer one Still, and a dearer one Yet than all other ?" LLOYD'S SHIPPING.—(This Day.) LONDON, Ang. 31.—Wind this day at noon, E.; light breeze and fine. PORTSMOUTH, Aug.
