HOLBEACH AND SUTTON BRIDGE.

The extension of the Spalding and Holbeach Railway
to Sutton Bridge, which has been a long time on hand, has
at last been opened for traffic. The traffic is worked by
the Great Northern Railway Company. From Sutton

Bridge the line is to be carried on with as little delay as
Lynn,
and when
the communication between Norfolk and
possibleus ffi to

Lincolnshire will be made much more direct. The length
of line now in operation between Spalding and Sutton
Bridge is 16 miles, and the extension remaining to bo com-
pleted to Lynn is eight miles in length, making together
24 miles.

It is impossible not to admit the cleverness of
this tale, however much we may be struck with
the improbability of some of the incidents. Indeed
the whole course of events is out of the ordinary pale
of experience, belonging rather to the region of
imagination than of reality, and allowance must be
made for this in the perusal. The narrator is the
youngest of three sisters, living, when the tale
commences, with their father at their ancestral seat
of Lovel-Leigh in all ease and content. "The
house casts a broad shadow on the lake, the battle-
ments round the roof being reflected back on its
bosom, as if cut by some hand in adamantine stone.
Three stories high, and roofed up with so sharp a
pitch that three tiers of windows lighted the dome,
it had a most imposing appearance, yet was
more beautiful than grand. Beautiful in its old
English quaintness, its grey stone, its cheerful
open casements, the clustering roses, myrtles, and
magnolias that climbed in rich luxuriance even to •
the upper windows. It was beautiful in its air of
home, its quiet grace, the exquisite verdure, with
the sunshine of gladness over everything." Here, •
owing to a sort of constitutional shyness, they saw
scarcely any company, the only frequent visitor
being a certain Ferdinand Home, whom Mr.
Lovel, having saved from drowning, adopts, after
a fashion, and through whom happen all the mis-
fortunes it is the purport of the book to narrate.
This individual is, it seems, marvellously handsome
but extremely superficial and intensely selfish;
though Mr. Lovel, .a quiet student, with but little
knowledge of the world, labours under the delusion
that he is little short of perfection. At the com-
mencement of their acquaintance he had met with
Mrs. Lovel before her marriage, and been smitten
with her, still her rejection of him made no differ-
ence to their intimacy, and through his means sbe
came by her death ; a shock received through fall-
ing into the lake in consequence of his clumsy
management of a boat having caused her confine-
ment to terminate fatally, and the child, the
youngest daughter, was in consequence born dumb.
The children growing up, the second daughter,
Famela, falls in love with this individual, who is
about her father's age, and he, ascertaining that the
sisters will be co-heiresses, professes to return it,
and the marriage is decided on. But as Mr. Lovers
health is breaking, he wishes to have his will drawn
up at the same time with the marriage contract,
and requests "Ferdy," as Mr. Home is termed, to '
recommend him a lawyer; and accordingly a friend
of his, a Mr. Rivers, is summoned from town for the •
purpose. But no sooner does the lawyer' see the eldest
daughter, Mabel, than he determines to win her :or
his wife, and notwithstanding her positive refusal and
that of her father, he persists in proferring his un-
welcome attentions. It now appears that "Ferdy"
is considerably in debt, though he is unable to state
the precise amount, but the lawyer, on being ap-
plied to, puts the sum at about £14,000, and Mr.
Lovel sends him a blank cheque, signed, desiring
him to pay " Ferdy's" debts, so that before his
marriage he mi,y be perfectly free from encum-
brance. But a further delay occurs, the debts are
not paid, the lawyer refuses to return the cheque,
and suddenly claims the whole estate of Lovel-Leigh,
though he offers to accept the hand of Mabel in-
stead. He is again refused, Mr. Lovel makes an-
other will leaving Mabel sole heiress, and, over-
come by anxiety at the state of his affairs, dies.
Rivers now takes legal proceedings to get the
estate into his hands, and the marriage between
Pamela and Ferdy is definitely broken
off, although she makes him a present
of her share of her mother's fortune, which had
been divided between the two youngpr sisters, and
which amounts to £7,000. Determined now to
husband their resources, and ccntest the matter to
the uttermost, the three sisters dismiss the servants,
sell off the superfluous furniture, shut up the house,
and take situations—the eldest becoming governess
to an idiot boy, the second companion to an old
blind maiden lady named Woodville, Ferdy's aunt,
and the youngest assistant to a milliner. Mean-
while the trial comes on, when it appears that
Ferdy and Mr. Rivers are half-brothers, that the
former is indebted to the latter in the sum of
£47,000, and, moreover, that he is already married,
his wife and daughter being alive. Under these
circumstances, the jury, without leaving the court,
unanimously give a verdict for the defendant. The
ladies of Lovel-Leigh are reinstated in their home.
The eldest marries a distinguished General, and the
second a rising literary man, whilst the third,
though disappointed in her affections, regains her
speech to a limited extent in consequence of a pecu-
liar nervous shock, and derives consolation from wit-
nessing the happiness of her sisters and from the
cultivation of her taste. The novel contains great
variety of incident, it is very ingeniously constructed,
and will doubtless enhance the reputation of the
writer.

Marietta. A Novel. By T. Adolphus Trollope
2 Vols. Chapman and Hall.
He who would truly depict the life of a foreign
people, must not only sympathise with their habits
and traditions, but also be perfectly familiar with
their idioms and literature. He must, in fact, for-
get for the time his own nationality, and become as it
were a denizen of the State in which his scene is laid.
His work will otherwise present only an external
aspect, and be little better than a caricature. With
this defect, however, Mr. Trollope's novel is by no
means chargeable. A more admirable delineation
of Italian life, as found in Tuscany, it would be
impossible to desire. Indeed, so excellent is it that
perhaps none can fully appreciate the truth of the
details unless they have lived in Florence, where
the action takes place. The time chosen is the
beginning of the present century, and Marietta, the
heroine, is a descendant of one of those old Floren-
tine familes which, through indolence and extrava-
gance, have allowed their patrimonial estates to
slip through their fingers. Her father, the Count
Lunardi, had been forced to alienate the last and
most precious relic of the family property, the
Lunardi Palace, and it is her effort to regain this
and to put the family in some degree upon a footing
of its former prosperity that the plot is based.
Dominated by one idea, that of restoring the for-
tunes of her house, she rejects the love of young
Guido Guidi, to whom she was attached. becomes
housekeeper to her uncle, an ecclesiastic, and
manages all his affairs. After twenty years' strict
economy and judicious investment of the savings
she succeeds in accumulating the, for Tuscany, by no
means contemptible sum of 35,000 scudi (about
£7,000), with which she purposes buying back the
palace and reinstating therein her nephew, the
young Count Sebastian. But to this scheme various
obstacles arise. Thus, on the one hand, the palace
has been mortgaged by its purchaser, the Marquis
Perini, to a rich money-lender named Pauli, who
intends that it shall form part of the dowry of his
only daughter Laura ; and on the other, Guido
Guidi (who, disappointed in his love for Marietta
had entered the Church, but still continues on good
terms with her), determines to get the money she
has saved into his own hands and use it to advance
his ecclesiastical preferment, and as he is equally
subtle and unscrupulous there seems every proba-
bility of his plot succeeding. But it so happens
that Sebastian has lost his heart, much to the dis-
approval of his aunt, who desires that he should
wed one like himself, of noble blood, to Palli's daugh-
ter Laura ;
and she, to the disgust of her papa,who
has no wish to bestow her hand and fortune on one
whom he thinks a penniless noble,returns his affec-
tion. Things are in this state when Marietta sud-
denly discovers that Guidi is playing her false, and
that the only chance of the Lunardi Palace return-
ing to the family is by the marriage of Sebastian
and Laura ; she accordingly overcomes her scruples

This new tale, by the inexhaustible M. Aimard,
depicts the struggle of the Mexicans to throw off
the yoke of Spain, and the translator claims for it
the merit of being " a real historical sketch
of events which have been generally over-
looked by European authors, but, at the same
time, are as interesting to peruse as the
deeds of an Andrew Hofer." In this struggle,
however, the heroine, if we may so term the lady
who is styled "The Queen of the Savannah," bears
no share ; the objects of her hatred being the In-
dians, one of whom had attempted to destroy her
child. At length, however, she falls, together with
her daughter, into their hands, and much of the in:
terest of the tale lies in the effort made by the lover
of the latter for their rescue.

AMERICAN FINANCE.

The following letter on American finance calls
attention to a point which may become of import-
ance in case the Washington Government should be
led into a belief that it is in the power of a military
despotism to control even the course of the precious
metals. At the same time, although the reasoning
of the writer is in the main sound, he is evidently
a partisan of the, South, and his estimates, there-
fore, may require to be received with some allow-
ance :

" London, July 4.

" Sir,—Attention has been drawn to a branch o.
Northern finance which hes not been dilated upon
by any of the political economists—viz., the very
large American commercial indebtedness to Europe,
at all times floating, and e3timated at 200,000,000
dols., as will presently be iaown. This stupendous
amount has been entirely hidden from view by the
ramifications of trade ; but should the Washington
Government be insane enosgh to prohibit the ex-
portation of specie, it will scon be exhibited. Every-
thing America sells to Europe she receives the cash
for at once, the 60 days' sight bills of exchange
being merely an accommodation to the foreign
(European) factor, while everything that America
buys from Europe is on a credit of four months.
Assuming that these purchases are of the value of
of 20,000,000 dols, per month, this credit would give
her 80,000,000 dole, worth of property, which
amount is increased by a system of accommodation
bills and other means of finance adopted by the
European agencies of New York firms to the extent
of 40,000,000 dole., making 120,000,000 dols. In
addition to this the American bankers have their
accounts overdrawn at all times on their correspon -
dents in Europe to the extent of current transac-
actions, say 80,000,000 dole., thus augmenting the
figures to the estimate of !400,000,000 dole. The
draughts of these bankers being at 60
days' sight, they remit other 60 days' (produce)
bills or gold in time to retire them at
maturity, and so the machinery of finance
is kept going from month to month. It
will, therefore, be better policy for the Federal
States to pay out their last dollar than to stop the
legitimate outflow of gold, and thereby preserve
their credit of 200,000,000 dole ; but with the cessa-
tion of the shipments of Specie all commerce
between them and other countries will be at an
end. It is quite natural that so large an amount
of European Capital should have been used in
America, the rate of interest there averaging so
much higher than here. The Southern States have
no commercial indebtedness to Europe ; their money

_
matters have always been arranged through Wall-
street. The productions of the South have been the
great source of wealth to the North, the latter
having acted as banker, commission merchant, and
broker to the former. The earnings from the
Southern business have been invested in a charac-
ter of securities the value of which have been based
upon that very trade, and with its decline a large
depreciation must be expected. The Northerners
had an exceptional advantage since July, 1860, in
the shipments of breadstuffs, the
excess of which
in amount over their custornar—
.), exports will
average, including the net Ocean
6,000,000 doll. per month, or freights, about
138,000,000 doll.
this advantage is not lost to them,
their crops of
wheat and maize will be small in consequence of the
late spring, and so many hands taken from agri-
cultural pursuits into the military service. Nor
have the prices that have ruled within the period
named been sufficiently remunerative to be tempt-
ing to the producer to cultivate largely, the sea-
board quotations being eaten up in a great meaoure

On Saturday evening his Highness the Viceroy
of Egypt was present as the guest of the Lord Mayor
at a grand banquet in the Egyptian Hall at the
Mansion-house, which was elaborately and taste-
fully decorated for the occasion, baskets of flowers
being suspended from the ceiling in the open spaces
between the columns. The company invited to meet
the Pacha was numerous and brilliant, including
members both of the present and of the preceding
government, a large number of distinguished fo-
reigners, many of the leading merchants and bankers
of the City, and almost as many ladies as gentlemen.
A guard of honour from the London Rifle Brigade,
under the command of Major Rose, was on duty at
the entrance and in the vestibule, and when his
Highness arrived received him with arms presented,
while at the same time the Lord Mayor and the
Lady Mayoress advanced to bid him welcome.
The company present included his Highness the
Viceroy of Egypt, his Serene Highness Prince Fre-
derick of Schleswig-Holstein, his Highness Mus-
tapha Pacha, Eari and Countess of Leven and Mel-
ville, Lord and Lady John Manners, Viscount and
Viscountess Doneraile, Lord and Lady Colville of
Culross, Lord Colchester, Lord Ernest Bruce, M.P.,
Viscount Pevensey, M.P., Sir G. C. and Lady Lewis;
M. Rouher, French Minister of Interior; Mr. Mil-
ner and Mrs. Gibson, Mr. and Mrs. Disraeli, Sir
John Pakington, M.P., Right Hon. W. and Mrs.
Cowper, &c.
After the names of the guests had been an-
nounced with heraldic solemnity by Mr. Harker,
the toastmaster, the " loving cup" commenced its
circuit, and his Highness the Viceroy took part
in this ancient ceremony, with a cordiality
which drew forth cheers from all parts of the room.
The usual loyal and patriotic toasts having been
disposed of,
The LORD MAYOR said—l have now to offer a
toast which cannot fail to meet with a hearty recep-
tion. I am about to propose " The Health of his
Highness the Viceroy of Egypt." (Loud cheers.)
Our illustrious guest is well entitled to an emphatic
expression of our unqualified admiration of the
unceasing efforts so successfully made by him for
the development of the resources, and for the general
advancement, of that ancient and most interesting
country over which his royal highness bears sway.
(Cheers.) Those efforts have not only resulted in
benefits to his own country and to his own people,
but have contributed largely to international com-
munication and to commercial intercourse between
the different countries -of Europe and the eastern
hemisphere. I greatly rejoice in the good fortune
which enables me, surrounded as I am by many of
my distinguished countrymen in this Mansion-house
of the old corporation of London, in the centre of the
great metropolis of the widely expended British
empire, to demonstrate to his royal highness the
estimation in which his name and character are
generally held by the British people ; and the great
sense they entertain of the generous aid he rendered
to us in the critical hour of our need. (Cheers.) Let
us hope that the Great Disposer of Events may long
continue to preserve a life so valuable, that the
energies he has hitherto employed for the good of
maukind may for a long period suffer no deteriora-
tion, and that the general cause of civilisation and
commercial intercourse may still enjoy the advan-
tages of that enlightened career which has been the
glory of his royal highness to pursue. (Loud cheers.)
The toast having been enthusiastically drunk,
His Highness the VICEROY, in acknowledging
the compliment, spoke in French to the following
effect—l beg to thank your lordships and this dis-
tinguished company for the manner in which my
health has been given and received. lam sure that
these expressions are more than I really deserve, but
they are an encouragement to me to deserve them
hereafter. (Cheers.) Since I came to this country
I have had cause to be grateful for the hospitality
and kindness which I have received from all classes
of the English people, and especially from the great
personage who is its chief. Before I sit down allow
me to propose " The health of the Lord Mayor."
The health of his lordship, as proposed by his
highness, was drunk with great cordiality.
The LORD MAYOR said it was a proud thing for
the City of London to have the honour, through its
Lord Mayor, of entertaining the Viceroy of Egypt
under the roof of the Mansion-house, and it was
particularly fortunate for him (the Lord Mayor)
that it had fallen to his lot to entertain his high-
ness and the distinguished company by which he
was surrounded. (Cheers.)
The LORD MAYOR next gave the toast of " The
House of Lords," which was acknowledged by Vis-
count Doneraile.
His LORDSHIP next gave " The House of Com-
mons,"associating with it the name of Mr.
Disraeli.

Mr. DISRAELI (who on rising was loudly and
universally cheered) said :—My Lord Mayor,—On
the part of the House of Commons I beg to acknow-
ledge the honour you have done them by proposing
their health upon this occasion. This is not by any
means the first time that I have performed this
gratifying duty ; and I am well aware, from
the kindness with which this toast is always
proposed from the municipal chair, and from the
cordiality with which it is always received by this
company, that this is not, and that it never will be,
an idle ceremony. (Cheers.) Nor is this in any way
wonderful, when we remember the value and the
duration of the relations which subsist between the
municipality of this 'city and the House of Com-
mons. Those relations are of no modern date ; they
have been consecrated by age and by sharp expe-
rience; they form an important element in the his-
tory of this country; and they will long, I trust,
continue to be cherished and respected by every
class in the community. It is with peculiar plea-
sure and with peculiar pride that, on the part of
the House of Commons, I this day acknowledge
the compliment which you have paid us; and I
am happy to inform your illustrious guest that
nowhere is his government viewed with more inte-
rest than in the House of Commons—(cheers)—and
wealth of nations.

In former happiness.days, when Egyptian halls
were visited and investigated with the energy of a
Belzoni or the genius of a Bunsen, treasures were dis-
covered which have astonished and perplexed Europe
—but I think I may say, my Lord Mayor, that when
your illustrious guest quits this room to-night he will
bear from this Egyptian hall treasures, which even
Egypt will not despise—treasures not less valuable
than those discovered by a Belzoni or a Bunsen,
for he will carry away from this hall the syrapa-

statt ; and there was then no real obstacle to the
restoration of our relations with that Government
to their former friendly basis ; and, happily, such
restoration is virtually fait accompli. With regard
to the question put to Mr. Layard by Mr. Liddell,
relative to compensation claimed by British sabjects
for losses, it may be observed that a claim has been
made for compensation for the loss of a small vessel,
the steamer Little Polly, run down, through the
merest casualty, by the Paraguyan war steamer
Tacuari, and that it has been recognised by the
Government of President Lopez as a matter for
mercantile arbitrament on the ordinary basis, and
is in course of amicable and satisfactory settle-
ment in the usual way, without the least refer-
ence to political considerations. There is really
nothing to prevent the negotiations from being
brought at once to a conclusion, and the commercial
world, interested in that part of South America,
reassured. This is the more desirable on account
of the cotton growing capabilities of the whole
region of the Rio Plata, and on which Mr. Consul
Hutchinson has made no official report as yet, but
his opinion on which is believed to be very encou-
raging, particularly as regards the islands of the
Parana, and other affluents of the Plate, thousands
of leagues of most suitable soil being available for
the purpose, in a climate than which there is none
healthier in the world. Some cotton samples of
excellent quality from the Upper Parana were for-
warded to Manchester eight or nine years ago, and
it was the opinion of Mr. W. Drabble, who visited
most of the countries watered by the Rio Plata
and its tributaries for the purpose of obtaining
information on the subject, that these latitudes
opened a promising field for the production
of this essential staple ; an opinion to which
double strength has been given by the inspection
of some of the ordinary wild cotton shown in the
Monte Videan Court of the International Exhibi-
tion. In the present state of the cotton supply,
and in view of the little probability that exists of a
speedy adjustment of the internecine quarrel in
America, it is most important that amicable relations
should be maintained with all countries
sucapable of
contributing in any degree to the large PPlies of
cotton which are required for the employment of
afnd
the labour and capital of South Lancashire.
Cheshire ; and Mr. Maguire deserves credit or
calling attention to the subject in the judimoua way
he has done, more especially when pokermembered
that the views he expressed on a occasion,

rities, have been confirmed by the facts as admitted

order that premature statements might not inter-
fleacret,:ti, the investigation which had been commenced into
the circumstances of this mysterious affair. On Tuesday
week Mr. Cooke, astronomical instrument maker, &c.,
Dishophill, with his wife, his three sons—Frederick,
Thomas, and Alfred--his daughter, and Mrs. Barbo, a
visitor, sat down to dinner as usual, and shortly after they
were all taken seriously ill, being attacked with severe
sickness and vomiting. During dinner some parsley sauce
had been used, and it was conjectured that " fool's pars-
ley," a deadly poison, might have got into the sauce by
mistake for the proper kind. This supposition, however,
proved groundless, and the cause of the illness of the family
remained shrouded in mystery. Mr. Reed and Mr. Proc-
tor, surgeons, were called in, and from the symptoms which
their patients manifested, it was clear they had been
poisoned. By the prompt administration of the usual
remedies, the effects of the poison were counteracted, and
on the following day the family were nearly restored to
health. After dinner on Thursday the scene of Tuesday
was repeated, the family being again attacked as before, as
well as the cook. The greatest alarm was felt, and the
medical men were again sent for. It being suspected that
the salt kept in the house was mixed with some deleterious
substance, Mr. Procter subjected it to analysis, and he
found that about 30 per cent. was arsenic. Similar poison
was discovered in some flour, but how the admixture took
place is a complete mystery. The circumstances were re-
ported to the police, and a searching inquiry has been and

in his establishment, no suspicion is attached to anyone.—

At the Ashton-under-Lyne special county sessions,
on Friday, Michael Burke and John Ward were
charged with the wilful murder of Wm. Jump.
Mr. King appeared for the prosecution, and Mr.
W. P. Roberts, of Manchester, for the prisoners.
Mr. Ludlam, superintendent of the Lancashire
county constabulary stationed at Wilshaw, near
Ashton, after stating the charge, said it was un-
necessary for him to go into the facts of the case.
Other men were in custody connected with the
case, who might arrive in Asht m any moment.
It would be premature to then go into the case,
and he therefore applied for a remand.
Mr. Roberts said there must be some evidence
given.
After some further discussion,
Superintendent Ludlam was sworn. He deposed
to seeing the dead body of Jump at Smallshaw
on the morning of the 28th ult. He believed the
two prisoners were brickmakers. He had ex-
amined a field near where the murder was com-
mitted, and found the shaft or handle of a spade,
a stick loaded with a heavy hoop, and two or
three other handles of spades. Had three hours
after that ascertained that 18,000 bricks had been
destroyed in a brick-yard at Ridgehill, near Staley-
bridge. This place was about two miles from where

into evidence which he did not wish to come out;
on which Mr. Roberts desisted from any further
cross-examination.
Mr. Wm. Chadwick, chief superintendent of the
Stalybridge pollee, then gave evidence as to
the
destruction of the bricks at Ridgehill. He had
found the footmarks of four men in the brickyard,
and several footmarks outside the yard, one being
particularly distinct.
The prisoners were then remanded until Wednes-
day next.
They were then charged with shooting at Ser-
geant Harrop, With intent
to kill him, and without
any objection fr. Mom r. Roberts they were remanded
on this charge also.
John Johnson was then charged with being an.
accessory after the fact of the murder.
Mr. King asked for a remand in this case also.
Mr. Roberts said he had no objection to offer to
this ccurse, but he asked that the prisoners might
be liberated on bail. He urged that Johnson was
not present when Burke and Ward were appre-
hended.
Constable Thomas Rogers proved the apprehen-
sion of Burke in Johnson's house. Johnson's wife,
