In one page we have a history of a landslip, and in another of a panic; here the breaking up of schemes by slashing leading articles, and there the chasing of surveyors by indignant Squire Westerns. The book is exceedingly amusing and instructive, on a subject supposed to be so very unpoetical; and reminds us a good deal of Francis's work upon the Bank of England and the Stock Exchange. It is a mark of the new phase of literature into which we are entering, and which will probably be as characteristic of the next age as the Arcadia of Sydney was of that of Queen Elizabeth, or Shen stone's Shepherdesses of the time of Anne. On the Culture and Commerce of Cotton in India and Elsewhere; with an Account of the Experi ments made by the Hon. East India Company up to the present time. By J. Forbes Royle, M.D., F.R.S. London : Smith, Elder, and Co. We have given much time and attention to the perusal of this treatise, feeling assured, from the commencement, that the high attainments and advantageous position of Dr. Royle warranted us in expecting much valuable information. We have not been disappointed; for we find not merely a treatise upon cotton culture, but a complete com mercial, statistical, and botanical history of this plant, which, in its importance to man, is second only to those which furnish the breadstuffs of commerce. Dr. Royle dwells chiefly upon the his tory of the cotton trade and culture ; and, by a careful collation of facts from the most authentic sources, he shows all the causes which operate against the improvement and extension of this im portant branch of our Indian commerce. He also gives full particulars of the attempts made to culti vate the improved varieties of American cotton in India, and investigates the physical and other causes which have operated against the success of the experiments. The ample means placed at the dis posal of the author, by the Hon. East India Com pany, have enabled him to make this portion of the work all that could be wished. Dr. Royle's own attainments, as a scientific botanist, have been of infinite value in enabling him to throw light upon the history of the plant itself, over which much obscurity still hangs ; like all other much cultivated plants, it has sported into such numerous varieties that it has become a task of extraordinary difficulty to distinguish all the species. Dr. Roxburgh studied this matter for thirty years ; it also engaged the attention of several highly eminent men, as Linnaeus, Lemarck, Poiret, De Candolle, Von Rohr, Bennet, Badier, Wight, Arnott, and many others. Dr. Royle has examined most of the varieties him self, and has added very much valuable information upon this important subject. Appended to the work, is a classified list of the raw products of India, as exhibited at the Great Industrial Exhibi tion. Altogether, this work forms a volume of the greatest interest, both to the merchant and the man of science. Parks and Pleasure Grounds. By Charles H. J Smith. London : Reeve and Co The art of landscape gardening has not given rise to many treatises upon its principles ; but those which have been published are of a very superior character, rendering it a difficult task to produce any work of sufficient metit to rank with those of Brown, Repton, Wheatley, Gilpin, Sir Uvedale Price, and Kemp. We have, however, in the volume before us, by far the most practical essay on land scape gardening ever yet produced. In describing the characters and requirements of the various descriptions of ornamental ground, Mr. Smith has happily chosen language so plain, and rules so simple, that he leaves nothing to be wished for. In choosing trees for planting, which constitutes so important a feature in landscapes, this author has done more than all his predecessors, as he has not only classified them according to size and form, but also that most essential character—the colour of foliage. The information respecting the pinetunz is very complete, describing every available species, including even the new ones lately introduced by Fortune and others. This part of the book will supply a great desideratum to the lovers of conifera. A MOTHER TO HER DAUGH7ER 02 WEDDING-DAY.

PHILHARMONIC-HALL. — The weather was the most nnfavourable possible for the grand conceit given here last Tuesday, nevertheless a large and fashionable as- sembly greeted that charming vocalist, Madame Viardot Garcia—and who would not ?—for where have we such classic taste and artistic execution, ruch purity of style and perfect vocalization, as in the sister of Malibran ! Very beautiful was her rendering of the cavatina, Una rote poco fa, from the " Barbiere ;" and great was the pathos of Meyerbeer's .Ah anon fits—one of those songs which one desires to be perpetual; and subdued, solemn as the occasion, was her " Ye Sons of Israel," from the mighty opera of " Samson." The concert was a very effec tive one, the selection being made from the works of Mozart, Rossini, Meyerbeer, Spohr, Bellini, Horsley and others. Herr Carl Formes was scarcely equal to himself, `hough great. Sorge was exceedingly good in clarionet from " La Sonnambula ;" and Miss Hill, a new pianist, equalled our highest expectations. The chorus gave the madrigals and other music well, and the band showed care in the opening symphony and overtures of the evening.

EIGHT LIVES LOST BY THE UPSETTING OF A LIFE-BOAT. PRESTON, SATURDAY An appalling casualty, by which eight women have been rendered widows, and eight families of children deprived of the means of snbsistence, took place yesterday after noon. Lytham, the scene of the unfortunate occurrence, is well known as a watering-place, and is situated at the estuary of the Ribble, some twelve miles from Preston. In consequence of the numerous vessels which have, from time to time, been wrecked off Lytham, it was deemed expedient to purchase a life-boat. For that purpose a considerable sum was raised by subscription among the visitors and residents, and a few months ago a fine boat was obtained from the establishment of Messrs. Beechin and Son, of Great Yarmouth (the successful competitors for the Duke of Northumberland's prize of £100). The craft (which was adapted either to rowing or sailing) was highly spoken of by nautical men, and pronounced fit to go anywhere or through any sea, her superiority over other descriptions of life• boat being said to consist in, first, her power of self-ballasting, with water ballast, in secure compartments ; secondly, of relieving herself of water in case of shipping a sea, which she could accomplish in about eleven seconds; thirdly, and lastly, of instantly self-righting in the event of her being capsized. Her draught of water, in ballast, and with a crew of thirteen persons, did not exceed twenty inches. Yesterday afternoon, eleven hardy seamen, all natives of Lytham, set out to test the capabilites of the new boat. Three out of the eleven were all who reached the land again —one, named Shannon, owing his life to being transferred as pilot on board the Thomas Clifton, a vessel bound for Preston ; and the other two narrowly escaping the fate of their comrades. The life-boat left Lytham about one o'clock. Though the weather was squally, many persons were congregated on the beach to witness her fleparture, and the little craft seemed to make way very satisfactorily. What is called a " lug sail" was used on the occasion. It was observed by some experienced persons, as the boat proceeded on her course, that too much sail was carried, considering the weather. When she got a distance out, a sea was shipped without any da mage, the boat righting herself immediately. Between two and three o'clock. when dashing through the break ers at a distance of about three miles, the boat leaned over alarmingly, owing to the quantity of sail she carried. About that time a heavy shower came on, and concealed the boat for a brief interval from the view of those on the look-out. When next seen, she was keel uppermost. Some men on the hills skirting the sea rushed down to the beach, and gave an alarm, and it is needless to say, that the most intense excite ment speedily prevailed. Two boats were got ready with the least possible delay to proceed to the scene of disaster. The smallest of them was taken to the edge of the Horse-bank, (a large sand-bank in the Channel,) where it was moored. The crew then hastened across the bank, plunged into the water, and waded to the ill-fated boat, which had drifted towards the sand, underneath or inside of which they discovered two of the crew, named Richard Gillet and James Parkinson, the latter when taken up being nearly exhausted. It is almost miraculous that these two men should have held out so long, it being about four o'clock when they were rescued ; but as the life-boat has six apertures in her bottom, which formed a sort of dome over the two sufferers, these enabled them to breathe freely. None of the other unfortunates being visible, the boat returned to Lytham about seven o'clock with the two survivors. The scene on its arrival was painful beyond description ; to say that it was heart rending in the extreme were indeed to convey but a very faint idea of the frantic excitement of the bereaved. The following is a list of the names of those who are lost : Hardman, leaving a widow and si x c hild ren; C oo k son , widow and two children ; T. Gillet, widow and two chil dren ; J. Gillet, widow and five children ; Swann, widow and three children ; Davis, widow and three children ; Whiteside, widow and three children ; Winder, widow and two children. Thus, besides widows, no fewer than" 26 children are left to bemoan the sad end of their parents. The wife of Winder, we regret to say, is near her confinement. Although the crew had been furnished with belts and other appliances for the preservation of tlife, yet, strange to state, all these were left behind when the boat went out. At an early hour_ this morning several boats were despatc but when our cor- been received of t of the accident is to the following afternoon the Lytham lifeboat was Tt was manned by Captain Wm.

The argument turned upon whether the word should be in the singular or the plural, whether it should be " seed" or " seeds." The apostle hinged the testimony to the covenant of God 3 Christ on the difference between the singular and the Aural form of a single word. A still more instructive ex- Ater of I where the apostle not only argued on the meaning, the very order of the words, showing, from Alelchi preceding Melchi Salem, that w eousness before we could have peace The second principle derived f 'e first must have right- examples ment in the New, was, that the Bible was historically true. Our Lord gave no countenance to men claiming to be men of Christian piety, and yet denying the historical truth of the Old Testament. Some well-known passages were quoted by the lecturer, in which historical facts were referred to by our Saviour as being true because they were found in the Bible. If the Bible had been a book of du bious historical authority, our Lord would not have ap pealed to it as be did. Thirdly, the Bible was mystically true. Not only did the narratives contain historical truth, but the historical narratives contained deep mystical truths. This was illus trated in the conversation of our Lord with Nicodemus, when he spoke of the lifting up of the serpent in the wil. derness, of the manna, and of rebuilding the temple in three days. How strikingly, also, did St. Paul set forth mystical truth, as built upon the historical events of the Bible, when, in the Epistle to the Hebrews, he referred to two historical events in the Old Testament, the resting from the six days' work, and the journeying of the Israelites through the wilderness ! Most beautiful was the mystical teaching from these two passages. The apostle was pointing to the Sabbath which was yet future. Here were two distinct, yet very connected, truths. In the first. place, there were the counsel and providence of God without creature co-operation. God said, " Let there be light," and there was light. God said, " Let the dry land appear," and the dry land appeared. God said, Let the earth bring forth," and the earth brought forth. God in counsel, God in power, God in action, were here. The completion of the creation and the rest of the first Sabbath set forth God. And the church of God would acknowledge, in the Sabbath yet to come, that salvation belonged to God, and that it was not human agency, but divine power, that produced out of a ruined world a per fect temple to God, a glorified church. Israel in the Nvil derness was a typeof the church on her way to the heavenly rest. Israel must go with Moses ; must willingly go through the Red Sea ; must abide under the cloud ; must follow the guiding pillar ; must drink of the stricken rock ; must cross the appointed Jordan. While the first truth set forth God doing all alone, the second represented man following whore God led. And on these the apostle founded his argument. The fourth principle to be deduced from the use mode of the Old Testament Scriptures by the writers of the New was, that the Bible was multiform in its applications. We should never think we had exhausted its meaning when we found that it meant one thing. Inattention to this bad caused a great deal of disputation, As an instance in point, the lecturer referred to the Bth chapter of Matthew, where a quotation was made from the 53d of Isaiah ; and, if we stopped there, we should agree, he said, with the Socinians, that the passage in Isaiah, as applied to Christ, meant only that he should heal diseases, and not that he should make an atonement for sin. But, in the Bth chapter of the Acts, the same prophecy was referred to, and the suffering, the crucified S av i ou r, w as clearly set before us. Both truths were contained in the one place ; and, from a comparison of the passages, we got this very important principle, that the Bible was ambiguous nowhere, but that it had many applications. It was necessary that the Bible should be brief, and, if it had been brief without being multiform in its applications, it could not have been full ; and, if not full, it would not have been suitable to all times and occasions. As it was, it had the qualification of fullness with brevity, and was thus most peculiarly suited to be to all men, without ex ception, a lamp to their feet and a light to their paths. Another very important principle was, that correct inference was of equal authority with direct statement. An instance of this was afforded by our Saviour. in speak ing of the resurrection of the body. He drew the proof from no direct statement, but from the circumstance of God having called himself the God of Abraham ; and to be the God of Abraham was to be the God, not of a spirit, but of man, spirit, soul, and body. The epistles were also full of illustrations of the same principle. A sixth principle, and one that would alone allay many painful controversies in the church, was, that spiritual terms were twofold in their application. There was the outward and visible application, and there was the inward and spiritual application. He might go through every term of the kind in the Bible as examples of this. It was said in the Church Catrchism, that, by baptism, they were made members of Christ, children of God, and in heritors of the kingdom of heaven. Many found fault with this, as if it were teaching too much. If it meant the spiritual things mentioned it would be teaching too much, for baptism never yet converted a single soul, or was the appointed instrument of bringing any soul into the spiritual kingdom of Christ. This was not its office. It was to bring them into the visible kinedon of Christ. H they were to suppose that spiritual terms had only one meaning, what confusion would result ! In Matthew it was said, " The good seed are the children of the king dom, the tares are the children of the wicked one." Let it be supposed that the " children of the kingdom" here meant the really good people, as contrasted with the profes sors. Well, in another passage of the sarnebook, also spoken by our Lord, it was said that the " children of the king dom" should be cast into outer darkness, where there should be weeping, and wailing, and gnashing of teeth. What ! Were the really good people to be cast into outer darkness ? Or were they to say that there were two meanings to these spiritual terms, one when the compari. son was between the church and the world, and the other when it was between the converted persons and professors? If we were to ask a Turk how many Christians there were in Constantinople, he would not suppose we meant how many converted men; he would not enter into that ques tion ; he would tell us bow many were called Christians. But if we asked a minister how many Christians there were in his congregation, he would understand at once that we wished to know how many converted persons there were. He would understand our meaning by considering what we were speaking about. Such was the distinction between the outward and visible meaning of the terms of Scripture and their inward and spiritual meaning. In applying the rules he was laying down to the inter pretation of the precepts of Scripture, Dr. Baylee showed how the conduct of Christ illustrated the precept about offering the cheek to be smitten. When he was himself smitten upon the one cheek he did not offer the other, but mildly rebuked the smiter ; showing that the injunction was not to be taken literally, but as inculcating the spirit of non-resistance to injuries. The promises of Scripture were of two classes, the ordinary and the covenant. The difference between the two was pointed out. The former were given for encouragement and warning, and were changeable ; the latter were made with Christ, and were unchangeable and unconditional. Instances were cited in proof of this distinction. The ceremonial law was next brought under notice. It was shown to be moral and mystical, and a corresponding principle of interpretation was laid down with regard to it. From the words of Christ respecting the law of divorce, " Moses, because of the hardness of your hearts, suffered you to put away your wives," it was argued that laws should be adapted to the state and circumstances of society. The true principle of legislation was not to give the best possible laws, but the best practicable laws. After noticing the social, the political, and the ations of Scripture, and 'showing under be understood, the reverend lecturer said a few w,rds respecting the analogical view of his subject, in connexion with which he remarked with much beauty and felicity of application upon the peculiar character of the Garden of s a plantation.

The money market continues well supplied, and loans are still procurable on easy terms. The share market remains firm. The directors of the Tndia General River Steam Company have published their report for the first six months of 1852, in which they state their intention of proposing, at the coming meeting, a dividend of 30r. per share. The shares of this company have advanced to 350 r. each, and arc not easily procurable. Company's paper has slightly fallen in value, and New Fives now stand at six per cent premium. Freights have kept pretty well up to our former quota tions. They now are £4 10s. to £4 153. suguar, and £4 53. saltpetre, to London. The general prospects of the indigo crop have not im proved since the date of our last report - , and the accounts from the various districts arc discouraging. The whole of this district, it is supposed, will not yield more than 15,000 or 16,000 mds. against 30,000 last year; indeed, we have seen some estimates somewhat lower. The advices from Kishnagur and the upper provinces are of a brighter aspect. The general estimate as to the total crop is that a large slice must be taken from last year's figure of 1,31,000 mds. The best informed parties are of opinion that the total out.turdwill be about 1,05,000 mds., and we are ourselves inclined to the same opinion, of course allowing a margin of a few thousand maunds either way for the chances of the weather. FOREIGN MISCELLANY BELGIUM.—The session of the legislative chambers of Belgium was opened on the 27th by commission, without a speech from the throne. On the subsequent day, the chamber of d.muties elected M. Delehaye president by 54 votes, while M. Verhagen obtained but 46. This vote led to the resignation of the cabinet, which was officially announced to the chambers on Wednesday. The cham bers have consequently adjourned to the 26th of October. GREECE.-.otllo, King of Greece, has quitted the Carls bad Baths for Munich ; though better in health he is by no means recovered, and the question of the succession is being seriously agitated both in Bavaria and at Athens. The national party interpret the constitution as giving the people power to choose a King by election, in case the present monarch should die without an heir. THE SULTAN is so seriously indisposed, and gradually getting worse, that the eventualities of his death are pub licly canvassed at Constantinople. DRUNKENNESS is the greatest vice of the lower classes of Germany. There are annually 40,000 de?ths from delirium tremens ; in the Zollverein alone 360,C00,0( quarts of brandy are sold and consumed, and in One-half the grain produced is used for distillation THE LATEST ACCOUNTS FRO2II SICILY state that Etna is still in full eruption.

Fortunately be lived to finish his great work, a dictionary of the old Norse poetical language, as exhi bited in the eddas, sagas, poems, &e., of Norway and Iceland. This invaluable storehouse of philological research, in which the explanations are given in Latin, will shortly be published by the Royal Society of North: ern Antiquaries. THE SWEDISH PAPERS state that Madame Gold scbmidt (Jenny Lind) has deposited a sum of 400,000 rix dollars in the hands of Provost Thomander and Dr. Wie selgren, for the foundation of girls' schools in her native country. It is reported by those who know her that she has, for many years past, cherished the intention of devo ting her large earnings to this object. Her withdrawal from the stage is said to have been accompanied by the manifestation of much real seriousness. DEATH OF PRINCE GUSTAVUS OF SWEDEN.—Prince Gustavus, Duke of Upland, and second son of the King of Sweden, died at Christiana on the 24th ult. He landed there on the 16th ult. with their majesties, and com plained of indisposition. On the following day he was seized with violent fever, which ended fatally. The Swedish ambassador at Paris had issued invitations for a grand diplomatic dinner for this day, but it has been ne cessarily put off in consequence of the death of the Prince. THE GOLD MINES IN AIISTRALIA.—The following ex tract from a letter of the latest date, from a merchant at Sydney, indicates the expectation entertained by the peo ple at that place that their own mines will not be totally eclipsed even by the extraordinary yield at Mount Alex ander. The writer also refers to the invention of Sir Thomas Mitchell :—" Sydney, June 22, 1852.—1 think we shall have some great diggings here soon. You will see that we shall have our Mount Alexander yet as well as the Victorians. There are deposits to the northward, on the Peel river, called the Hangi❑g-rock Diggings, which are being, developed very quietly. The parties there are doing remarkably well. We hear of, and see weekly, large nuggets of 10 oz. to 20 oz. and upwards from that quarter. They are doing es well—the few that are there— as those at Victoria. Sir Thomas Mitchell has been test- ing his new invention, the Bomerang propeller, for steamers, in lieu of die screw. He has tried it on a steamer here, and it has answered very well. Sir Thomas says he will be able to get 20 knots an hour out of it. It will be the very thing for ocean steam-ships. He has taken out a patent, and wishes to go home to bring it out." ) the 1 Give, exc er faro joyous , se quotations from the Old 1 ?tural interpretation derived from them was that t elieved th and the h of God's v 1 in such a case, there w s, learned, lab than that of the were those who tion of the Scriptures was taki man who gave up the ye et of those who miiht folk d.

The Epoca says that the Queen of Spain has ordered that all the honours due to a marshal of the Spanish army shall he paid to the memory of the Duke of Wellington, with the exception of a religious service, which cannot take place on account of his having been a Protestant. DEATH OF THE DUKE OF BAYLEN.—The Madrid journals of the 24th officially announce the death of the Duke of Baylen, General Castanos. The duke died at two o'clock in the night of the 23d. In the morning the hells of all the chnrches were tolled, and minute guns were fired. The body was placed under the care of a guard of honour of halberdiers, and a picket of grenadiers were stationed at the door with arms reversed. The Queen, who greatly esteemed the duke, has given orders that he shall have a public funeral, and that the court shall go into mourning for three days. Her Majesty bas also intimated that she would attend the funeral, which is to take place at the Church of Arocha. The precise age of the distinguished soldier was 951 years. AMERICA ARRIVAL OF THE ARCTIC The United States Mail steam-ship Arctic, Luce Om mander, which left New York at noon on the 18th instant, entered the Mersey on Wednesday morning, with the semi-weekly mails, 106 passengers, and 336,567 dol- Lars in specie on freight. Among the passengers was the Hon. Joseph R. Inger soll, minister to this country. We learn by this arrival that all is now quiet in Cuba. American journals of every description are rigidly prohi bited ; there are 700 prisoners reported at Havana, but there had been no more executions. Further vigorous preparations had been made by Peru to defend her claims against the Americans in the Lobos Islands. From the fishing grounds we learn that the American schooner Hannibal had been fired into by a British cutter. The master of a Baltimore sclioone; was arrested in Norfolk, Va., on Wednesday, for kidnapping and selling a negro , Nearly the whole of the business portion of Ravenna, Ohio, was burnt down on Wednesday morning. The loss, it is estimated, will be from 40,000 to 60,000 dollars. The particulars of no less than nine serious railroad ac cidents, resulting in the loss of fifteen lives and the awful injury of six persons, are recorded in the New York He rald. All but two of these occurrences appear to have been caused by the recklessness of the employes on the roads. Via' New Orleans, we have received full accounts rela tive to the awful earthquake which occurred about half past eight, a.m., on the 20th ult., at St. Jago de Cuba. That city, next in importance to Havana, is said to be al most entirely destroyed. The inhabitants are living un der tents, hastily erected in the fields. Assistance has already been sent to their relief from Havana, and sub scriptions in their favour are to be opened all over the island. It was a fortunate circumstance that the severest shock occurred at eight in the morning, when most of the people, alarmed by the previous slight shocks, had repaired to the public squares and fields for safety ; for bad it taken place during the night, the whole population must have been buried in the ruins. CANADA.—There is a rumour that Lord Elgin has been recalled, and that the post of Governor-General has been offered to Lord Harri". The cross of the Bath has been conferred upon the Hon. Dominick Daly, and he has been promoted to the Governorship of New Zealand. f 'Dr. A t to poi !

She has accomplished a highly successful voyage both to and from the West Indies ; and the satisfactory and rapid performance of the first passage out and home contrasts most favourably with the comparative inefficiency, in point of speed and regu larity, of the new ships constructed specially for this route by the West India Mail Company. La Plata's dates are, —Chagres, September 8; Havana, Sept. 9; Trinidad, Sept. 9 ; Barbadoes, Sept. 11 ; St. Thomas's, Sept. 15. La Plata brings ninety-one passengers, and on freighr specie value 1,374.766 dollars, of which 329,217 dollars are on account of the Mexican dividend. At Jamaica business has been dull. The intelligence from the country parishes represent the seasons as having set in heavily. The state of the public health was more satisfactory, the smallpox having sensibly abated. Accounts from Barbadoes state that the fever was not so violent, and that fine rain had fallen on the island. In St. Lucia the weather had been squally, and the heat somewhat mitigated. The island was free from all alarming diseases. The Demerara journals are barren of news. The weather continued distressingly hot, and a good deal of sickness prevailed, but not of a very fatal type. The accounts from Mexico are unfavourable, both financially and politically. OVER LAND BOMBAY MAIL. The usual correspondence in anticipation of the Over land Bombay Mail, brought to Suez by the Hon. East India Company's steam-ship Ajadaha, has arrived. The latest dates are Bombay, Sept. 1, and Calcutta, Aug. 21. The latest intelligence from Rangoon is up to the 11th of August. The Burmah reinforcements were all on their way to Madras and Calcutta for embarcation, and trans ports were being hired for their conveyance to Rangoon and Moulmain. A riot occurred in the city of Benares, on the evening of the 2d of August. The magistrate was pelted with stones and brickbats, as were also the Gene ral and several officers and other Europeans who had to cross the bridge. A couple of companies of the 33d Na tive Infantry and the detachment of the 11th Irregular Cavalry were speedily on the spot. The affair was a bloodless one. The army which will be assembled in Pegu, in the month of November, will consist of more than 20,000 men—that is, six regiments of European foot, twelve regiments of native infantry, and a full comple ment of artillery, as well as sappers and miners.
