table opoosito each chilli. Besides those engaged in play,
there were several other persons, whose features and manner
proclaimed their dissolute character, collected in little knots
in different parts of the room. They were betting together,
making matches for Epsom and Newmarket, or disputing
about the merits of different cock-feeders and trainers.
Amongst these groups, the gayest-looking and most notice-
able comprised Tradescant and Chatteris, with their
fishionabh friends, Wilkes, Tom Potter, Sir Francis Dash-
wood, and Sir William Stanhope. With them also was
Sir Theodosius Turnbull, a Leicestershire baronet, who
had been a great foxhunter till he grew too fat and heavy
for the saddle. He was now in pretty good cue, having
drunk three bottles of the delicious Haut Brion, for which
Pontac's was renowned. These personages were talking
and betting much in the same style as the rest of the com-
pany."

The glimpse here caught of Tradescant and his
" surroundings" gives the key to the whole of the
present instalment—every chapter of which is
dashed off with the fluent and sparkling pencil
that has already given to its wielder so wide a fame
as a romancist.

The Wild Flowers, Birds, and Insects of the Months.
By H. G. Adams. Hogg and Sons.
This is a pleasant book, issued at a seasonable
time, published at a moderate price, and treating of
interesting subjects. To those young people on
whom the delights of dolls and toys begin to pale it
will be very acceptable.

the Papal Criminal History. By Dr. Beggi.
Laudable as is the aim of Dr. Beggi's work—that
of revealing Roman Catholic iniquity—we fear the
indolent general reader will be appalled at its bulk.
Few in these degenerate days care to wade through
800 pages of controversial theology, especially when
plentifully garnished with Latin extracts.

MONEY MARKET.

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

Daring the-past week there has been little change
of importance to record in the progress of business
throughout the various manufacturing districts.
The woollen trade at Leeds, however, has been
steady, owing to the increased demand for goods
suitable for the autumn demand. Business at Man-
chester has continued dull, although the more
favourable advices from India and China have
caused a slight advance in the value of both cloths
and yarns. The hosiery and lace trades of Leices-
ter and Nottingham have remained inactive, but a
more cheerful tone has prevailed through the re-
ceipt of orders from Canada, and a better inquiry
for home requirements. In the hardware districts
business generally has shown little if any improve-
ment, although there is an increased demand for
plate iron for ship building purposes.
There was again an active demand for cotton in
the Liverpool 11Iarket on Saturday, and prices
were very firm. The sales amounted to 10,000
bales.

The bullion operations at the Bank of England on
Saturday were of an unimportant character.
The Shannon, which sailed to-day for the West
Indies, conveyed £9,800 in silver."

The West India steamer La Plata has brought
about £820,000 in specie.
A call of £lO per share becomes due to-morrow
en the Danube and Black Sea Railway new shares.
There is a steady demand for discount accom-
mod,ation in the general Money Market, and it
is supplied on the terms current at the close of
last week, namely, from 21 per cent. upwards,
according to the date and character of the secu-
rities offered for negotiation. Owing to the im-
pending liquidation of mercantile accounts it is
, expected that the demand will temporarily in-
crease, and the rates will probably exhibit greater
firmness, although no permanent alteration of
importance is anticipated, unless largo quantities
of specie shall be transmitted to the continent.

A WORD ABOUT COPLEY.—The visitors to this
gallery will make friends with a great painter with whose
'orks they have been familiar only through engravings,
and the one picture of the " Death of Chatham" in the
}Louse of Lords. They will now see the incomparably finer
Nvork, " The Death of Major Pierson at Jersey, in 1780."
Tehe struggle of a hard fight and the sweeping tide of vie-
' tory were never rendered in a truer manner than in this
little episode of the Channel Islands. The artist will,
however, be more struck with the power of Copley as a
portrait painter. Let every lover of the art study No. 61
