wood and Sons.
Wo were made familiar some time ago with this
novel of Mrs. Oliphant's in the pages of Blackwood.
Like most novels written by women, its interest de-
pends chiefly upon the minute drawing of its domes-
tic pictures. It has few stirring incidents, although
we have a strong-minded unscrupulous villain, the
at property and a title, and a Samuel War-
=e lm obit, but not, of course, so perfect in its
este& se the celebrated case of "Every Known
Virtue rersus Titmouse." The description of men's
Eh in the world, reads very like a dream ; it
ties not been drawn from long and acute
observation, grounded upon actual experi-
Nee. It is rather the fancy sketch of the
boudoir. The drawing of external characteris-
tics is generally weak, but the style in which the
novel is written is equal and pleasing, occasionally
rising into passages. of some poetical strength. 11e

try cottage :

Lady Falkland is one of the moat rapid of female
travellers; she hurries us through our Indian pos-
sessions at express speed ; and by the rate with
which ohs hastens as onward, we are reminded of
those gigantic American moving panoramas in which
three thousand miles are got over in the course
of half an hour. Public buildings are run through;
• cursory glance is given at some of the most cele-
brated localities in the Fast; a word or two devoted
to the Hindoo religions; but " forward, hark for-
ward!" would seem to be her ladyship's motto, and
she brooks no delay. At time* she falls to
rtin he
other extreme, and proms long and drearily pon
the contrast between the smell-talk in India
and North America, and similar interesting
topics. Her volumes will neither instruct
nor amuse, but they may be regarded as
harmless flotsam and jetsam in the vortex of semi-
light litvature of the present day. The following
extracts will give some notion of Lady Falkland's
style. Here is an unpleasant kind of disease:
Amos, the mysteries of Indian disease, there are few
men obscure than the guinea worm—known by the natives
as Name." A slight irritation is felt by the patient,
generally in the leg or foot. The part swells and becomes
very painful, after a while, the and of s imall trunaparent
thread is ems trader the akin. This thread is the guinea
worm. If injured, or wrongiy treated, mamas pain must
be calmed fur many weeks before the worm la got rid of,
and the part healed. European medical edema is quits ta

medical man, when they discover the nature al the aliens;

M.D., but be has wonderful patience, and most Masts
angers. So be gets bold of the end of the transparent
aloment, and win& it as a feather or straw. Nothing will
now avail but patience. Only an inch or two of the fila-
meet will come out daily, and ths whole animal Is often a
couple of feet in length. If it tineks, • tedious abeam is
the inevitable result, but if the barber be skilful, and the
patient not impatient, the creators is geserally extracted
entire, sad the place goes beak.
This is worse than living in a villa overlooking

We are glad to notice the re-appearance of Violet,
or the DO MOW, now published to • cheap form by
Messrs. Routledge. On its lint issue five-and-
twenty years ago, it created a great sensation in both
literary and fashionable circles. The inner life of
tieonitens is moat brilhantly and veraciously
portrayed, and yet throughout the book there
net one word or one thought that could offend the
mot fastidious of readers.

MONEY MARKET.-THIS DAY.

Two o'Ctoee.
The funds to-day exhibit a decline of 1-16 to
per cent., business being dull. In the other depart-
ments of the Stock Exchange steadiness prevails.
Consols are quiet at 021 to # ex div. for the 9th
July. The Three per Cents. Reduced are
marked 921 to ; the New Three per Cents., 911
to ; Bank Stock, 214 ;radii' Stock, for
221 ; Exchequer Bills, 4s. die. to par; and Ex-
chequer Bonds, 1658, 971.
Foreign stocks are steady. In Turkish and Peru-
vian the recent advance is supported. Subjoined is
a complete list of the morning's sales, viz :—Dutch
Two-and-a-Half per Cents., 831 ex div.
(exch., 128.); ditto Four per Cent. Certifs., 98;
Peruvian Four-and-a-Half per Cents., for

The Champion of the Seas has arrived from Mel-
bourne, with 32,831 oz. of gold on freight, worth
131,3001. The George Canning has also arrived from
Adelaide,butthis vessel isnot knovrn to have brought
any gold.
A decline in many of the French corn markets
is a natural consequence of the promising appear-
ance of the harvest, and forms a favourable feature.
The shares of the Bank of France fell 75f. yesterday.
Up to the present time silver has continued to
HOW 311 freely from the Continent for transhipment
to the East, and it was only on Thursday that the
steamer Seine arrived in the Thames from Bou-
logne with 55 cases, and the Telegraph, from Ant-
werp, with 10 eases ; representing a total value of
upwards of 50,0001. In consequence, however, of
the sudden fall in the price of silver here, caused
by the reduction in the East India Company's rate
of exchange, some considerable amounts of silver
recently received from the Continent were bought
yesterday for exportation to Hamburg, where the
rate of discount is about 71 per cent.
About 18,0001. in gold, being the residue of the
amount brought from New York by the steamers
Atlantic and Vanderbilt, was yesterday bought for
the Continent.
The foreign exchanges continue rather flat in ten-
dency, though with little actual change in rates.
The quotations for bills on France were yesterday
rather lower. As regards Rotterdam, Vienna, and
Trieste. the rates were a shade easier, but the quota-
tion on Naples has advanced. The current terms are
shown below—viz. :
Amsterdam, three maths, 12 to 12.01; ditto, short,
11.17 to 18; Rotterdam, three mamba, 12 to 12.01; Ant-
werp and Bremesla, three math"; 36.474 to 60; n
three months, 13.81 to t: Perim, three mouths, 26.821 to 7 •
ditto, shod, an; to 20,
_• Keneales, three month., 23.
to 70; Frenkfort-era-the-Reins, three months, 1194 to 4;
Petersburg, three months, 37 to 1; Vaasa, three months,
10.27 to 9; Trieste, three mostU, 10.28 to 30; Naples,
three months, 421 *of ; Orme, Ares month', 25.80 to 6;
Leghorn, three months, 29.80 to 6; Palermo, three months,
128 to 1 : Mesolna, throe months, 1214 to 129 ; Oporto, thew
months, 621 to ; Lisbon, three months, 621 to 4.
The corn market yesterday was quiet, at about
former rates. The imports of foreign grain and
flour into London this week have been light. The
number of floating cargoes of grain arrived off the
coast since last Friday is 21.
Canadian railway stocks were in considerable re-
quest yesterday, and experienced a sensible recovery.
Apart from the stimulus which has been given to
purchases by the recent severs fall in these securi-
ties, the demand is understood to be partly based
upon the anticipation that the goods traffic of some
of the lines will be increased by the operation of
the new American tariff, which was to come into
force on the lot inst.
The following circular, explaining the arrange-
ments connected with the issue of the capital of this

London Dock Company yesterday stated that the num-
ber of foreign vessels which entered the docks in the
six months was 462, and the receipts 249,9861. The
