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. I 7

CITY, TWELVE O'CLOCK.

During the'past week there has been little change 81
of importance to record in the progress of business 251
throughout the various manufacturing districts. :
The woollen trade at Leeds, however, has been WI..
steady, owing to the increased demand for goods 11
suitable for the autumn demand. Business at Man- el
chester has continued dull, although the more vi
favourable advices from India and China have et
25
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 Market 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
on the Danube and Black Sea Railway new shares.
There is a steady demand for discount accom-
modation 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 large quantities
of specie shall be transmitted to the continent.

EARLY MARRIAGES.—The returns for 1860
show, as usual, an increasing number of early marriages.
In 1841, of the men who married in. England
h
onlyad 3
tent, were dnder 21; in 1860 the proportion risen per
ntor
5.35. Of the women married the P
Pr°°rtion under age in
t was 19.35. Every
1841 was only 13.29 per cent. ; in 1860
18,
when neither
year above 2,000 girls are married underi
mind nor body has attained maturity ; above 30,000 are
married under 21. Within the last 20 years the number
of persons who marry under age has doubled, though mar-
riages have not increased much more than 40 per. cent.
The increase of eaely marriages has been most rapid in the
prosperous ten years 1851-1860. In Bedfordshire, North-
amptonshire, and Huntingdonshire, where the straw-plait
.
and lace manufoctures place so many girls in a condition of
some independence, a fourth of those who marry, marry
under age. The proportion is as high in Staffordshire, the
IVekt Riding, and Durham. Ic is low in the metropolis,
in the south-western counties, and in Wales.
