MARK-LANE.

There was rather more activity in the wheat trade in
the country markets held on Saturday. The demand,
however, was chiefly confined to good and fine dry sam-
ples, which in some instances changed hands at rather
more money. The barley trade was very dull, and the
quotations had a drooping tendency. Oats, beans, and
peas ruled firm. In flour a fair business was transacted, at
late rates.

Advices from New York report increased shipments of
wheat and flour from that port to Great Britain ; never-
theless, the leading transactions were at reduced rates. On
the Continent the corn trade generally is steady.
Fresh up to our markets to-day the arrivals of English
wheat were moderate, but the condition of the produce
was bad. The few dry samples on offer changed hands
at fully last; Monday's currency, but damp parcels were
very difficult of disposal. In their value, however, as com-
pared with. Monday last, no quotable change took place.
At the close of business, a total clearance of the supply
had not been effected.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE.—This Day.
~_______

MARLBORQUGH-STREET.
CAPTURE OF A FENIAN PIKEMAKER ON THE
CHARGE OF TREASON.—Timothy Hagarty, a black-
smith, residing at Moss-alley, Great Guildford-
street, Southwark, was brought before Mr. Tyrwhitt
by Davidson, 301 A, by whom he was taken into
custody on a warrant signed by Mr. Richard B.
Tooker, one of the Justices of the Peace for the
county of Kent, and backed by Mr. Knox, charging
him with, while in the county of Cork, for several
months past being engaged in making pike-heads for
an illegal society called " Fenians," and for treason-
able purposes, and for levying war against the
Queen.

There was a: moderate supply of continental wheat on
the stands; but with American produce the market was
scantily supplied. The amount of business transacted was
somewhat restricted ; nevertheless, prices generally ruled
firm.

Floating cargoes of grain were in fair demand, at full
currencies.

It having been proved that the prisoner was the
person named in the warrant,
Mr. Tyrwhitt told him that he would be handed
over to the proper officers and taken to Cork,
whence no doubt he would be remitted to Dublin.
The prisoner was subsequently taken away by
two of the Irish constabulary.
A SOLDIER CHARGED WITH ROBBERY AT ST.
GEORGE'S BARRACKS.--James Williams, a private
of the 3d battalion of Grenadier Guards, was charged
before Mr. TyrWhitt with stealing a £5 Bank of
England note and £9 in gold and silver, the moneys
of Charles Allen, drill and colour sergeant, of the
Grenadier Guards.

Sergeant Allen said that on the 22d November
he left his room in the barracks about three in the
afternoon, locked up and everything safe, taking
the key in his pocket. On returning from duty
shortly after five he found the door unlocked. He
then found that a box in the room had been broken
open and his cash-box taken from it, the cash-box
containing one £5 note—No. 79,603—a sovereign,
and about £9 in silver, and 4s. in coppers. le
gave information iu the barracks, and subsequently
to the police. A key was found amongst some
packing boxes, which would open the door. On
making a further search the centre part of his cash-
box was found. The cash-box had been broken
open, but he had since had it repaired.

A little girl living with the wife of a pay sergeant
at Chelsea Barracks said she was on the landing at
St. George's Barracks on the 2dd ult., when she saw
the prisoner trying to push open Sergeant Allen's
door with a knife. She was called away by her
mistress. Another soldier was near the prisoner at
the time looking on. She afterwards pointed the
prisoner out to the sergeant-major the next morning.
In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the witness said she
was sure the prisoner was the man.
Sergeant Druscovich said the battalion was at St.
George's at the time, but had since been removed to
Chelsea, and that was how the girl was there at the
time.

In answer to Mr. Tyrwhitt, the prosecutor said
the money was partly Government money and
partly his own.
The keeper of the Inkerman beerhouse, Kensing-
ton, proved giving the prisoner a sovereign for silver,
and at the same time noticing that he had a good
deal more money. The prisoner afterwards left
ss. 6d. with him to take care of, stating that he
was going on furlough, and that he would call for it
on the following Saturday, which he did, and then
had something to drink and loft.
Charles Chapman, a servant, said he was asked
by the prisoner while at Mr. Payne's (the last wit-
ness) beerhouse, to get in a bottle, which he did,
the prisoner giving him a £5 note to pay for it.
He (witness) would know the note again as he put
his name on it.

Sergeant Druscovich, of the detective department,
Scotland-yard, said the note was on Friday last
paid into the bank, and he traced it from hand to
hand till it got to last witness, and in consequence
of what he stated he apprehended the prisoner.
The name of Chapman was on the note. He took
Chapman to the Chelsea Barracks, and the moment
Chapman saw the prisoner he said he was the man
he received the note from. He told the prisoner
the charge, when he said he knew nothing about it.
He took the prisoner to the station, and now wished
for a remand for the production of the note.
The prisoner was remanded.

MONTHLY PERIODICALS,

BLACKWOOD.--" Memoirs of the Confederate
War for Independence" are continued, and afford
as before a very minute account of that memorable
struggle. All details that are furnished by an eye-
witness are immeasurably superior to any other
species of information, and thus the reader may be
glad to embrace this opportunity of improving his
knowledge of these eventful scenes here recorded.
In this portion we meet with an amusing and in-
teresting description of an expedition undertaken
by the writer to the camp of General Jackson.
Among other objects for his journey he had to pre-
sent " to old Stonewall, as a slight token of Stuart's
high regard, a new and stunning uniform coat,
which had just arrived from Richmond." Stone-
wall Jackson at first demurred to the gift, as too
grand and gorgeous for his use ; but upon being
persuaded he donned it, and great was the delight
it caused to the army. The rumour of the change
from the old weather-stained coat, from which the
hands of patriotic ladies bad slipped the buttons to
the grand new attire, ran like electricity through the
camp, "and the first wearing of a guest robe by
Louis the Fourteenth, at whose morning toilet all
the world was accustomed to assemble, never
created half the sensation at Versailles that was
made in the woods of Virginia by the investment of
Jackson in this new-regulated uniform." " Miss
Marjoribanks" is continued at some length, and is very
interesting in its descriptions. Lucilla has now
passed the period to which she looked forward in
bygone days, and has actually spent ten years at
home as she said she would. In this instalment the
clever leader of society in Carlingford gets into a
difficulty, from which she extricates herself in her
usual dashing and daring wanner. The reader will
look forward with interest to the finale of the en-
counter between Mr.Cavendihy and Mr. Ashburton,
once Lucilla's quondam admirer and the expected
successor to the representation of the town, and
the other the new man concerning whom Miss
Marjoribanks had experienced such a spirit of divi-
nation, and who was resolved to go in for the re-
presentation of Carlingford, andto fight a l'outrance.
" The Handy Horse-Book" is a readable sketch on
this attractive subject, and it is well said that "of
the things on which all people imagine they can
talk, and yet of which the number who really know
anything is very small, the horse is most conspicu-
ous." Some useful remarks are here met with, and
many a self-sufficient individual may find his con-
ceit evaporate as he attentively peruses the details
here presented to his notice. Valuable information
is also imparted concerning divers matters con-
nected with horses, the text of the article being fur-
nished by a work recently published on the
subject by a cavalry officer. " Sir Brook Foss-
brooke" is continued, and that erratic individual
proceeds in his usual manner, and makes friends
and enemies at every turn. Mrs. Sewell is, like her
husband, a most dangerous character, and Lucy is
likely to get into trouble through their agencies. A
very interesting article is that entitled " Educators,"
which brings before us some considerations on a
subject worthy of all attention, and in these days
prominently before the public. We here meet with
some of the great errors which are made, and have
been made, by those who seek to be too precise and
are so didactic that they forget the great effect of
influence when they frame their stern rules. Miss
Edgeworth and her father were at great pains to
draw up a code, but their model child would have
been quite unfit for the duties of life, and would
have lost some of its best lessons. In concluding
this excellent article the writer puts before us in
plain terms the dangers and difficulties which menace
those who are led away by their own theories
instead of putting their precepts into practice that
may benefit their charges. " Does the tutor
modestly call himself a teacher, or does he adopt
the ambitious tone of a former and master? The
two views were once defined in a few words by
Professor Wilson, as, after listening with a
growing impatience to a lecture on education
by Dr. Whately, he took a friend's arm as
he hurried away, and muttered in his ear,
" I always thought God Almighty made man, but he
says it was the schoolmaster." " Cornelius O'Dowd"
furnishes us with another series of reflections, among
which we this month meet with some remarks on
Lord Palmerston, which are distinguished for dis-
crimination. " A Brace of Travellers" transports
the reader to the distant climes so well depicted by
these able pioneers, and cannot fail to attract.
" Our Invisible Capital" contains some striking re-
marks, which some wedded to old prejudices would
do well to read and wisely consider.
DUBLIN.—"Not Wisely, but too Well" is con-
tinued, and Kate's character is being more and more
developed. Her frank nature and straightforward
bearing exhibit themselves in striking contrast be-
side the triviality and littleness of her cousins, who
figure prominently upon the scene in this instal-
ment. In Kate we find the elements of a kind dis-
position, and qualities that might have made their
owner great and good had she been happily trained
in early life and subjected to better influences.
" The Discipline of Valerie Gore" is completed, and
although very melancholy in some respects, the tale
is interesting, and furnishes a striking warning to
those who give way :to pride and vain-
glory. Poor Valerie had much to go through
before she put down her besetting sin.
It has been truly said that, like iron, some tempers
can only be moulded by fire. A new tale is com-
menced, called "Number Five, Brooke Street,"
which promies well, so far as we can judge from the
beginning. We meet with some brilliant descrip-
tions of society and some smart sketches of charac-
ter, such as can readily and effectively be delivered
in the details of a large party in a country house.
" The Relations of England with America" form
the subject of an article which is well written, but
in which the writer inclines too much to the side of
the Americans. It is really quite out of character
for such expressions as this to be used—" If a per-
manent good understanding between England and
America be possible and desirable, by what means
shall it be brought about ? An improved tone re-
garding America in our own Press ought surely to
be expected ; there is no cause to produce irrita-
tion." It may certainly be suggested that the re-
verse of the picture is the correct one, and that it is
the tone of the Press across the Atlantic that
needs modification. Nothing can be more mis-
taken than the notion which prevails in
some quarters that all freedom of speech
and writing in this country is to be checked, in
order that foreign nations may not be offended or
excited. It is just the way to bring down the
dreaded evil, and we have had quite enough of tame
subserviency to those who pay no respect to our
opinions. " Beatrice," a verse-drama, is continued,
and is exciting in its descriptions. " Vestiges of the
Picts and Gael" contain much interesting information
concerning that early race, who, in their rude style
and uncultivated ways, displayed bravery and en-
durance that have made their names famous through
all time. Another interesting article is given on
" Glastonbury Abbey, Past and Present. The Rise
and Influence of English Monachism." It is well
worthy of perusal, and presents us with a detailed
account of the chief incidents that occurred during
the eventful period referred to. " Early Celtic
Stories" are peculiar, but may suit the taste of an-
tiquarians ; and also we meet with a continuation of
" Scenes in the Transition Age, from Caesar to
Christ." " Sir Thomas Wyse's Journal of Greek
Travel" suggests some appropriate remarks on the
subject, and there is truth in the tribute paid to him,
that he was a man who served his country and his
kind with earnestness and judgment.
FRASER.—Fraser opens with an essay upon the
" Politics and Prospects of Spain," which at the
present crisis is especially worth attention. The
grave and stately Spaniard seldom enough comes
under the notice of his more active, quicker-witted,
and more energetic European neighbours, his
Government is currently believed to be passing
through a perpetual crisis, his finance to have
realised a hopeless dead-lock. Yet, to the amaze-
ment
ment of both hemispheres, he has suddenly shown
Go_w
that he possesses energy enough for
mischief,s
vernment enough to organise anaggression,
0
gresion, and
resources enough to make himself
more solvent people. The article
political situation of
rticl troublesome e
before us takes a
brief and graphic survey of
Spain since the accession of thesabella the Second in
1833, passing through the troubled years of the
Regency down to the very latest aspect of
the political horizon. It is remarked that
44 a Spanish Cabinet may be compared to
a Chili house, constructed on a calculation that
an earthquake will occurs within the year ; and
although other countries may have undergone some-
what similar trials for a period, a crisis lasting more
than a quarter of a century without producing an
actual revolution, is, we believe, unparalleled in the
annals of constitutional government." • The readers
of Fraser will rejoice to see the welcome initials
"A. K. H. B." appended to an essay beginning
with the familiar word " Concerning," and this
time the pleasantly discursive essayist takes for his
subject the topic of Roadside Stations " with some
thoughts," we need scarcely be told, " on the ternzi-
nus ad quern." "Days of Derry" is a well-written
tale of the dismal days of a siege many a long gene-
ration since. " Fiction and its Uses "is a pleasant
essay, by no means without its moral, for in these
busy, overworked, hurrying days, the value of rest
and recreation is too often overlooked. Of mere
excitement, in one form or another, we have more
than enough; of pleasure-seeking and new work
put on the overdriven brain and nerves, under a
specious title, for of real healthy rest and diversion
of the mind, something that takes us away from the
weary every-day round into a fresh scene, and amid
new actors, wo have far too little. " Innoceut en-
