MARKETS—This Day.

MARK LANE.

The leading country markets held on Saturday were
fairly supplied with wheat, which changed hands slowly
at about previous quotations. All kinds of spring corn, in-
cluding flour, were inactive, but not cheaper.
Throughout the Continent wheat has been slow in sale,
at late currencies. Barley and other articles have com-
manded rather more attention. In America, very little
change has taken place in the value of produce.
The arrivals of English produce up to our market of
last week were moderate. From abroad they comprised
7,286 qrs of wheat, 5,143 barley, 41,433 oats, 1,754 beans
1,685 peas, 95 sacks and 240 sacks of flour.
A very moderate supply of home-grown wheat was re-
ceived fresh up to this morning's market in fair condition.
Both for red and white qualities there was a steady, but
by no means active demand, and last Monday's quotations
were in most instances fully maintained. At the close of
business a fair clearance had been effected.

The supply of granaried samples of foreign whest was
moderately large. Sales progressed somewhat slowly in
most descriptions ; nevertheless, prices ruled firm.
Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand at late
currencies.

The supply of English barley was small, of foreign quali-
ties very moderate; on the whole, the demand ruled steady,
at quite previous quotations.
Malt changed hands to a fair average extent, at late rates.
With foreign oats the market was extensively supplied,
but scantily with home-grown produce. A fair business
was transacted in most descriptions, at the late decline in
the quotations. _ _ _

Beans, the supply of which was small, ruled firm, at fully
previous rates. _ _

Peas moved off steadily, at extreme quotations. The
supply on offer was small.
Barrel flour ruled firm, and fine parcels were held at an
advance of 6d., the supply on offer being small. In town and
country made descriptions about an average business was
transacted on former terms.

FASHIONS FOR JUNE.

(Front le rollet.)

in the varione new mantles for the season, wo notice
three styles which appear likely to have the greatest suc-
cess. The " Rotonde,", or round " Camail ;" the Casaque ;
and the small " Paletot." The " Rotondo," as we have
previously mentioned in our notice on fashion, is tizuelly
made to match the dress. We observe en passant, that the
complete toilette en suite is much worn. The bonnet of
crape is even made to match the shade of the dress, and
the parasol corresponds in colour. The shades are mostly
preferred for these costumes are either a blue shade or
violet, or the " leather" colour, which :is just now so
greatly in favour. The Paletot differs but little in shape
from the "Saute-en-barque" of last year, but the style of
trimming is more diversified.

The Paletot Gandin, and the Paletot Monteguarde, for
travelling, are trimmed either with ruches or fringe.
Casaques are usually made in a make of black silk called
faye, and trimmed with passementezie guipure. Straight
scarves are also made of this beautiful article, for which
purpose it is well adapted by its extra width.
Rotondes are much worn, made of the NI oollen lace called
yak ; others, in anticipation of the warmer weather, are
made of white lace. Shawls, of white and black lace, with
the upper point rounded, are also being prepared for the
more advanced period of the season. Some are lined with
taffetas. Grenadine barege shawls, with a broad reversible
point of guipure, and trimmed round with Chantilly lace or
llama, are patronised by ladies of the highest circles.
The new patterns in printed muslins are very exquisite
and graceful in design. In this, as in other materials, the
leather colour and brown are much worn. Blue is also a
favourite colour. There are three shades principally in
vogue. One, called the "new shade," is rather light;
another, the corn• flower blue; and the third, and deepest
shande, is the Imperial blue.

In taffetas there is a good assortment of new patterns, but
nearly all in small designs, The new goods in this
material, but in larger patterns, are more exclusively
employed for full-dress. Since it is now so much the
fashion for the whole of the out-deor dress to be made of
tee same c)lour, the manufacturers have prepared a variety
of small patterns in this article, of two or three shades,
which produce a very distingue effect,
The Swim etteh combined with the basque postilion is a
great success. We will describe one which completed a
very elegant costume The dress was composed of taffetas
in Mexico blue. At the bottom of the skirt were three
waved chicorees ruches of a deeper shade. Between each
was a wide ribbon of white taffetas covered with an inser-
tion and medallions in black guipure. High body, with
Swiss sash of guipure medallions, over white taffetas, and a
small basque put on in hollow plaits. Sleeves a Coude,
trimmed with a jockey to imitate the epaulette of a Swiss
body, formed of white taffetas and guipure, and revers at
the bottom of the sleeve to match.

There is a new style of trimming which is very original
in character ; it consists of a fringe, which, at a distance,
has the appearance of chenille , but, close at hand, instead
of being heavy, is excessively light. Each strand, like
chenille, is composed of very fine silk, of which four or five
rows are placed upon a passementerie, producing a charming
and novel effect. We have only seen it used on mantles,
although made in all colours. Sometimes one row, at other
times three, are placed at the bottom. Paletots generally
admit but of one,and a row to match round the sleeves and
pockets. Leather trimmings meet with a certain amount
of success, and aro even worn on muslin bodies ; we do not,
however, anticipate a continuance of this style. Many
thin bodies, and fichus to wear with low• bodied dresses, of
lace or muslin, trimmed with ribbons, are made.

Dresses in worked Indian muslin will be fashionable this
summer, and worn out of doors with rotondes to match.
Some pretty models of dresses have come under our notice,
a description of which we are sure will please our readers.
A dress of taffetas, of the colour called cuir ; the bcttom
of the skirt trimmed with a ruche of the same. It has also
rings, one in the other, formed of velvet ribbon, edged on
each side with guipure, and in the middle of each ring a
medallion of guipure flowers. The body is high, with a
postillon basque, trimmed in front with a Swiss plastron of
velvet and guipure. The sleeves are a Coude, opened at
the wrist, and trimmed to match,
A dress of Indian foulard, in silver grey, spotted over
with small black Chinese designs. The skirt is trimmed
with four rows of chicorees in black taffetas, waved, and
about eight inches apart. A. similar trimming is placed on
the body of sleeves.
A blue taffetas, with chine spots of a deeper shade, with
a rather wide, waved flounce, and above it an insertion of '
block guipure lined with white, with a chicoree of the same
as a heading. High body, trimmed with guipure and chi-
corees. Sleeves a Coude, open, lined with white taffetas,
and the edge trimmed with chicorees; and medallions of
guipure down the sleeves.
A dress of grisaille taffetas, stripped. Plain skirt, edged
with a tuyaute, two inches in width, of black taffetas piped
with white, and trimmed round with a row of buttons of
black passementerie with white stars. Similar buttons close
the body, which behind is in postilion fashion, rather long,
trimmed round with a tuyaute.

A plain blue foulard—the skirt trimmed at the bottom
with a narrow tuyaute of the same material, and at the top
of the hem, an insertion of guipure. Body with sash; tight
sleeves, with guipure forming jockeys.
Although the new bonnets have not undergone much
change in form, our principal modistes are displaying so
much good taste in the arrangement of trimmings and choice
of materials that we must certainly allow the bonnets of the
present season to be a decided improvement on that of last
year. The following models will, we think, substantiate our
remarks :
A bonnet of white crinoline, lined with Mexican blue
crape. On the front a bouquet of corn flowers and wheat;
another of the same inside, with a double ruche of white
tulle and blue crape. The curtain, which is pointed, is com-
posed of blonde and crape : strings of blue ritbon.
A pink crape bonnet, trimmed with ruches of the same
round the front and curtain ; on the left side a bunch of
white lilac, and on the right a moss-rose, surrounded with
tulle and crape.
A bonnet of white tulle bouillonne. The front and cur-
tain covered with small violets and straw trimmings. The
crown has a pretty arrangement, by very fine straws cross-
ing each other. The strings of violet ribbon, with a bouquet
of violets and tulle, in very large plaits, for the trimming
inside. A capote of turquois blue tulle illusion ; a pouff
of tulle on the crown and scarf of the same, carried across
the bonnet. A scarf of white tulle trims the inside, with
a white rose and foliage in the centre.
A white crinoline bonnet, with a bunch of wild roses
covered with dew-drops, so beautifully arranged, that the
dew seems to be really dropping from the leaves. This
bouquet is fastened to the front of the bonnet by a large
bow of white crape. Curtain with crape, and strings of
white taffetas.

A morning bonnet of Monaco straw, trimmed at the side
with a bunch of red poppies, with black centres. On the
edge of the front and curtain, an insertion of lace, with a
narrow velvet, either black or red, run in it. The inside
trimmed with poppies, and black lace across the top, and
plaited double tulle at the sides; one string of black, the
other of red, ribbon.
4 white tulle bonnet was trimmed with ruches of the
same, and an aigrette of small pink roses mixed with brown
grass; the same flowers inside, mixed with tulle. Curtain
and strings of white taffetas. Several capotes of crape have
crowns of silk or tulle, with ruches to match the front on
the curtain and inside ; the ribbon strings trimmed round
with gauffered crape.
An elegant rice-straw bonnet, trimmed on the front with
pink and white geraniums, surrounded with leaves of the
same flowers, and bows of rice-straw falling gracefully.
The same flowers inside, mixed with white crape and blonde.
White silk curtain, with bow of rice-straw. White ribbon
strings.
A bonnet of leather-coloured crape, On the front, a tuft
of natural coloured grass and three red poppies. Curtain of
the same coloured silk, with trimmings of black lace.
White tulle inside, with poppies and black lace leaves.
Strings to match.
A bonnet of thick crinoline; curtain of turquoise blue
silk. On one side a band of blue ribbon fastening a bou-
quet of natural feathers, inside a band of blue crape, with
bouquet of blue daisies, and different coloured grass.
A black crinoline bonnet, trimmed on the front with
black lace, mixed with white blonde, and a bouquet of blue
feathers, or of blue and green feathers mixed. When the
feathers are of one shade, the strings should be black; if of
two shades, then a plaid ribbon of the two colours should
be used.

Although rather premature as yet to make any allusion
to the form of hats, yet as the shapes seem pretty well deter-
mined, we may venter to describe a few of the leading styles.
They are mostly high in the crown, and rather pointed,
both behind and in front. Sometimes one edge is raised like
the old amazone hat, but never more than on one side. The
other is left flat. We need hardly say that this style is only
very partially adopted. The trimmings are placed in front,
whether composed of flowers or feathers. If feathers are
used, they are generally of two colours. The Inoroyable,
Mademoiselle, Henri 111., and the Montpensier, are the
favourite shapes.

The Paris CAb Company employs 4,000 coach-
men and from 600 to 700 stablemen.

MAGAZINE DAY.

Blackwood's Magazzne.

Many readers will be glad to meet again with
" The Chronicles of Carlingford." The one here in-
troduced concerns " The Perpetual Curate," Mr.
Wentworth, whom we have met with before in
Salem Chapel. His position was a very awkward
one, and it is very ably pictured in these chapters.
We leave him approaching a climax, as his three
aunts, on whose opinion much depends, and who in
a manner are the arbitrators of his destiny, appear
suddenly on the scene. Mr. Wentworth inclines
to extreme High Church views, while his rela-
tions are Evangelical. The conflict between such
opinions will doubtless prove a very stormy one,
and furnish the details of an exciting narrative,
which will vie in interest with its predecessors.
"Girolamo Savonarola" is an elaborate article on the
life of that remarkable man, and treats of his career
in an earnest and impressive manner. From his youth
Savonarola had been certain of his tragic end. "No
earthly success or reward shone through the mist
of prophecy to gladden the ecstatic in his dreams.
A crown of martyrdom hovered visionary but stead-
fast over the stormy way; the scene might change,
the path might unfold, but that fiery crown was
never absent from the solemn future which rolled
forth in clouds and darkness before him." " Charles
James Blomfield" treats of a work published by the
son of the late Bishop. In criticising the book an
opinion is pronounced on the life and actions of the
bishop which is fairly enough done. " A Letter
from Poland" will receive notice as containing
some information concerning the details of that
exciting struggle, Another letter is promised
from the same quarter to continue the narrative
of events there. " Rough Notes of a Ride to
Babylon" carry the reader to that far.off Eastern
land, so prolific in scenes of interest and informa-
tion. This entertaining account of travels concludes
with the author's visit to the ruins of the Tower of
Babel, where he touches the bricks, " large, square-
shaped, and massive, that were thoroughly burned,
the very mortar, the slime, now hard as granite,
handled more than four thousand years ago by
earth's most impious people." " A Glance at the
Italy of Cavour " will be of interest to the admirers
of that remarkable man. After analysing various
events, it is said that there is but one word of an-
swer to those who ask why Italy has not done more
—" She has lost Cavour." " Crinoliniana "is a
ludicrous sketch of the results of the fashion.
" Epigrams " is a discourse on a subject that is
generally found entertaining enough. We are
furnished with several details and descriptions of
the mode in which these personalities were in-
dulged in, and certainly there seems no cause to
gainsay the opinion here expressed, that "it could
have hardly been comfortable after all to live in the
age of epigrams and impromptus." Some of the
examples here given are striking enough. The
following translation of a Latin definition is very
good—
" The qualities three in a bee that we meet,
In an epigram never should fail ;
The body should always be little and sweet,
And a sting should be left in its tail."

Theodore Hook's impromptu is admirable, and will
be appreciated by many—

" Here comes Mr. Wynter, surveyor of taxes,
I advise you to give him whatever he axes ;

And that, too, without any nonsense or flummery,
For though his name's P?ynter,his actions are summary."
The annexed is the original style of epitaph, sim-
ply an inscription. It is on the figure-head of
Anson's ship, the Centurion—
" Stay, traveller, awhile, and view
I who have travelled more than you ;
Quite round the globe in each degree,
Anson and I have ploughed the sea;
Torrid and frigid zones have passed,
And, safe ashore arrived at last,
In ease and dignity appear—
He in the House of Lords—l here."
The following translation of a Latin puzzle will
amuse the curious on such subjects—
" That which was Toby Watt, is what Toby Watt was
not; to be Toby Watt, is not to be what Toby Watt is ;
Toby is not, he will be."

Fraser's Magaizne.

Fraser opens with an able and interesting paper
on one of the most celebrated, but by no means the
most popular of English statesmen. The writer,
although not a partisan of Bolingbroke, considers
that his history up to the present time bas been
written by his enemies. "His own explanations of
particular parts of his policy have been slurred over ;
designs have been imputed to him as criminal, with-
out due consideration of the national feeling at the
time, and but little allowance has been made for the
uncertainty and novelty in which, during the first
half of the eighteenth century, constitutional go-
vernment. was enveloped." But while making all
due allowance for the peculiar circumstances and
influences of the time, the critic is able to give at
the best but a doubtful and limited approval to
Bolingbroke's policy. A concise outline of the chief
features of his life and times is given. It was but a
melancholy career notwithstanding the large abili-
ties, the daring energies, and the ready unscrupu-
lousness of the statesman. The man who lived in
the life of courts and cabinets, to whom power and
reputation were the great ends of being, early shut
himself out by a singular mischance from the active
politics of his day, and in spite of his unquestioned
abilities, has left a name in history which is re-
garded with dubious favour. Miss Cobbe contributes
another of her papers on Eastern travel, this month
dwelling on the solemn reflections awakened by a
visit to the Holy City. An article on the
Polish captivity is well written and sensible. Our
legislators would do wisely to ponder on some of the
arguments it sets forth before they pledge England
to dishonourable inactivity at all hazards. The
writer very justly observes that a decided attitude
assumed by a country like ours at the proper
moment not only does not provoke war but abso-
lutely prevents it, and refers to Canning's interven-
tion in favour of Portugal, which produced the de-
sired effect without bloodshed. That the present
miserable method of following a vacillating and
timorous policy, until we "drift into war" unpre-
pared, does not answer the required purpose, we
have had ample means of testing, but we fear that
the Britannic Government are very far from carry-
ing out the author's programme. "It would be a
service at once to humanity and to Poland if with-
out actual war, by a threatening attitude of expec-
tation, we forbade Prussia to aid against Poland,
and forced France to direct her martial ardour
against Russia, not against the Rhenish provinces.
If simultaneously we kept open the Circassian trade
Poland and Finland might, by the arms of France
and Sweden, become independent of Russia, with
glorious advantage to Europe." "An American
Refugee in London" is the title of an interesting
paper by an American exile, driven across the

ceeds rapidly, and there is also an interesting but
melancholy tale, entitled, "False Ground and
Firm," telling the old mournful story of fervent
affection constant only on one side. There are
other papers of varying merits, and the number
concludes with the index to Fraser's sixty-seventh
volume.

Colburn's United Service Magazine.

This serial opens with an amusing article on
" Fortifications and Things in General." The writer
takes a practical view of the advance of science,
both in defensive and aggressive warfare. While
exposing certain fallacies which have taken pos-
session of the minds of men who ought to know
better, he maintains that the national interest

should be always borne in mind, and that the true
way to uphold our national prestige is to abolish a 11
punishments which tend to lower the offender in tht
social scale. After reviewing the continental
armies, he remarks

As regards the English system, we do not think there
is much to alter that is radically wrong. All that is requisite
is less pipeclay,' if we may so express it. We mean less
mechanical parade ground' discipline; many merely parade
manoeuvres that are never wanted in the .Meld might be left
out of the drill-book, and we do not think that more than
one good way is necessary for one manoeuvre. We fancy
there ought never to be more than two ways of doing the
same thing, namely, the right one and the wrong one; but
in our drill book,' there are frequently five or six, all of
which in our opinion must be wrong except the one righ t
one. We would, therefore, simplify the manoeuvres tAS
much as possible, allow the men more time for mental and'
retional recreation and amusement, and gymnastics, and
employ them in field works and all kinds of labour useful in
a campaign. The men are sick of etanal drill and pipeclay,
and mere parade movements, and are often driven to the
canteen because they have not time to walk in the country.
When a recruit has got over his year Of prob
toa'' ne
with
credit, be he a private or ensign, he ought not
eter-
nally kept at the mere A. B. C. of his profession, as is ,tow BO
much the case. If the men are well looked after on their
private parades and in their barracks by their captain, ava
if the captain be, as he ought to be, an efficient officer, arid
not a mere boy who has got his company- by hard purchase
over the heads of men less rich, the battalion on parade haw
something else to do than to go through the mere manual
and platoon exercises every day, and the usual routine of
useless formations which it can never be called on to execute
as part of a brigade. A good march out into the country
with one or two useful and practical mane. uvres cia any
common or open ground that may offer, with the con Btailt
practice of all that a battalion can be called on to per/oral
as an advance or rear-guard to a larger corps, will te.sd
more to improve both the company offic,ers and the ranli:
and file than all the parade ground drill in the regula-
tions.'"

A paper on " Richard Cobden, King of the Bel-
gians," will be read with interest by the public
generally. While acknowledging the services that
Mr. Cobden has rendered to his country, we can-
not but lament that his egotistical fancies have
taken him out of his depth. What is said of
him in this article, although rather too cut-
ting, is but too true in the main. In a
paper on " Colonies, their Influence on the
Mother Country" the advantages derived by Eng-
land from her dependencies is fully demonstrated.
The anther maintains, in fact, that without her
colonies England would be nothing. " A Trip to
Vancouver's Island and British Columbia," is con-
tinued, and contains as its predecessors have done
much useful information. Under the head of " Cu-
riosities of Naval Literature," the writer makes game
of naval men for gi'ing feminine names to the vari-
ous adjuncts of a ship. It is a cleverly written essay,
but we cannot agree with him. A sailor is consi-
dered to be attached to his ship, which is supposed.
to divido his heart with the object of his affections,
and is it not natural that he should speak of them
both as of the same gender ? In an article on
" Taxation," the following sensible remarks are
found—
"For our own part we would rather have heard the
Chancellor of the Exchequer announce a larger reduction of
the tax upon income than of the duty upon Chinese tea or
French wines. The consumption of these articles, especially
of the latter, is optional, the payment of income tax is com-
pulsory, so far at least as those who are in the receipt of
salaries or pay from the Crown are concerned. The tax
being deducted from the quarterly bill, offioers of the Army
and Navy, and the members of the Civil Service, have not
the option of escaping from the payment of one penny of
the impost, even had they the inclination to do so. It is,
however, otherwise with regard to those engaged in trade,
as they have to make returns' which may or may not be
correct. The general opinion is that these ' returns,'
which are made under what is termed Schedule D, are
generally wrong, and that if the insomes of those engaged
in manufactures, trades, and professions were properly
assessed, a fivepenny instead of a sevenpenny tax would be
sufficient."

" Greenwich Characters" is continued, and a paper
on " Poland, the Diplomatic Situation," contains
matters of interest. We have also an article on " The
late Exploring Expedition in Australia" which is
interesting, and contains some sensible remarks on
the mistakes that were made. The Editor's Port-
folio presents us with the general naval and military
information.

Cornht.ll Magazine.
" The Small House at Allington" is important in,
this instalment, inasmuch as it reveals the fatal
truth to Lily, who, however, bears it bravely, and
astonishes her friends by her fortitude. This is not
an unlikely or an unnatural thing, since it is often
the weakest and the most fragile who endure the
best, and are the strongest in the battle of life. We
also find Crosbie is promoted to very undeserved
honours, for he is made Secretary, and thus fortune
smiles on the recusant lover ; but actions like his
bear their own punishment in a mind that is ill at
ease, and those who envied him his promotion had
better have pitied. Johnny Eames seems resolved
to be a fool, and he is certain to pay a heavy penalty
some day for his very absurd devotion to Miss
Amelia Roper. Equally nonsensical is the de-
meanour of his friend Cradell with Mrs. Lupex.
These young men are of the class who have to buy
their experience very dear. "Sibyl's Disappoint-
ment" is a very melancholy tale that is, however,
not without its uses in impressing upon the mind
the misery that may be wrought by cruel jests
and practical jokes. There is no more unworthy
occupation in which persons can indulge to gratify
their tastes for jokes or to wreak their vengeance
on real or imaginary foes than these base designs.
Sibyl, it is true, must have had an ill-governed
mind, so soon to have been crushed by sorrow, but
the evil is as great, and the sin as heavy, if no such.
lamentable results ensue as are here powerfully
chronicled. " Romola" is continued, and is in this
portion of it very important, as Bernardo del Nero
is executed. The unhappy heroine herself is tossed
to and fro with painful doubts, and the whole of
the story is occupied with scenes of vexatious strife,
and details of misery, and the confused epoch of

that there has been some foul play, for when he
proceeds to Marchtnont Towers, Olivia denies all
knowledge of her whereabouts: As may be
imagined, Edward is almost distracted, and the tale
leaves off at this exciting juncture. The authoress
is well skilled in drawing a particular style of
character, and Olivia Marchmont is a first-rate
definition of an unscrupulous woman determined to
gain her end, and reckless of all that stands in her
way. Such as Olivia have been the tragedy
