THE BANKERS'.

That portion of the mystery of stock-jobbing which
consists in dealings in shares, whether for money or
for the account, is clearly developed, for the informa-
tion of the uninitiated in such matters, in the first
half-dozen pages of the present number. Among the
other articles is one on the "Practical Effects of the
Repeal of the Navigation Laws," concluding with
these sensible remarks :
" When we lcok to the long list of restrictions which
that Act has removed from the commerce of the country
we are struck with amazement that, under such an in-
cubus, our trade and navigation have expanded in the
way they have. It is impossible, however, not to feel
that, in spite of all the efforts and ingenuity of our mer-
chants to avoid the difficulties and losses to which such
an intricate system of prohibitions and restrictions has
exposed them, an extent of loss must have been entailed
upon the country which cannot possibly be estimated."
Attention is drawn in another paper to the cheering
circumstance of the large increase in both our exports
and our imports as compared with last year, amount-
ing in the respective Augusts to no less than
2,012,5001. as to the former, more than one-half of
which has arisen from the activity of our cotton,
liner, silk, and woollen manufactures. The article
of machinery exhibited a decrease, furnishing conti-
nued evidence that from the neglect of mechanical
improvements in foreign manufactories, caused by the
disturbances of the past eighteen months, a start has
been given to our own productions which will pro-
bably not be recovered by our competitors for many
years. The remaining articles, and the usual statis-
tical information touching monetary matters, are
characterised by the wonted accuracy and clearness
of this useful periodical.

MISCELLANEOUS.

Sharpe's London Magazine, illustrated with a view
of Fowerscourt Waterfall, contains, among many
articles of sterling merit, an interesting resume of the
recent events in Rome, and a continuation of the
"Story of a Family," of "Lewis A rundel," and of Mary
Cowden Clarke's excellent ";Considerations on Shak-
spere's Individuality in his Characters."—The Journal
of Design is conspicuous for the taste displayed in
its numerous and well executed illustrations.—
Chambers's Edinburgh Journal is too well and widely
known to ask for the smallest comment.—ln the
Quarterly Journal of Agriculture will be found a
variety of useful information, and we recommend a
perusal of its valuable contents to all those interested
in agricultural affairs.—The same remark applies to
the monthly part of the Family Herald as to
Chambers's Journal. Of all the cheap publications,
this is our especial favourite. Nothing but a circu-
lation of enormous extent can repay the proprietors
for the mass of entertaining and instructive matter
which uninterruptedly occupies the pages of this
admirable periodical. We cannot, indeed, conceive a
domestic table in the empire unsupplied with the
current number of the Family Herald.—The Farmers'
Magazine, an old established favourite, is graced
with two excellent portraits, one of the invincible
champion of Eglinton, the " Flying Dutchman ;"

monetary code, to bring on at any moment a com-
mercial crisis, to expose the entire mercantile
community to the most severe and ruinous losses.
We have witnessed the melancholy results of a
withdrawal of five or six millions of specie from
our shores, and we explained the dangers of
enabling our most formidable rival to call for
4,600,0001. in gold at a moment's notice, and called for
a total alteration of the system that subjected the nation
to such hazardous and disgraceful contingencies.
Vain were our warnings. The Whigs in office
were resolved to sustain the currency theories of their
predecessor. Sir CHARLES WOOD was strongly
imbued with all the fallacies of the JONES LOYD,
PEEL school, and nothing could be hoped for at his
hands. The Bank Charter Act, which was virtually
suspended by the well-known letter of the 25th of
October, 1847, was restored in all its stringency ;
the public mind was amused by a mock investiga-
tion before a packed Committee, who reported directly
in opposition to the evidence produced be'bre them.
No change has been made in the Acts of 1819 or 1844,
and the trade and commerce of Great Britain are still

liable to be injured at the mere caprice of the Rus-
sian despot. The AUTOCnAT is fully aware of the
vast increase of strength which he has thus obtained ;
he believes that the arm of England is paralysed, be-
cause he has become her creditor for nearly five mil-
lions sterling, and, consequently, treats her represen-

tations with contempt and disregard. Hence his
unauthorised and unjustifiable invasion of Hungary
—hence the overwhelming forces brought to crush the
liberties of that heroic nation—hence his insolent and
overbearing demand for the extradition of the gallant
fugitives, who—victims to the bullion mania, to the
" Auri sacra fames" of England sought
refuge and protection from Moslem hospitality. The
AUTOCRAT may, however, for once be mistaken.
There is a limit to English forbearance. The debtor
will not alwayn crouch at the feet of the tyrannical
creditor. England, who never deserted the forlorn
and distressed —who never rejected the prayer of the
suppliant —will not see a friendly power bullied or
cajoled into acting differently from what she would do
herself; or suffer the betrayed champions of freedom
to be surrendered to the vindictive and sanguinary
monsters who thirst for the blood of patriots, and
who would butcher upon scaffolds those whose only
crime was too deep a love of their native land—too
bold and unshrinking en assertion of their rights and
privileges as free born citizens of a free nation.

THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY.

The September number of this able magazine fully
maintains its high position in the periodical literature
of the day. The opening paper, entitled " Agri-
cultural and Commercial Condition of Ireland—the
Bank Returns," is one of vast importance, and de
serves the serious attention of all interested in the
present condition of that country. It affords a very
melancholy illustration of its prostrate state by indi-
cating the immense decline in the circulating medium
within the last three years. It shows from the most
undoubted sources that the circulating medium of that
country—gold, silver, and their paper representatives
—.s now less by one-half than it was thirty months
ago. The next is a very ably written commentary on
a well-conceived and useful book, " Scenes where the
Tempter has Triumphed," by the author
cingesaoif‘e‘;Tbhye
Gaol Chaplain." " Ceylon and
the author of " China and the Chinlieseh, h

allingoff'
in interest, instruction, or amusement.
the T helifceortioi
mentary on the principal features in
Tassoni, the author of "La Secehia Rapita," is
full of acuteness and learning. " The Commeragb
Mountains, their Lakes and Legends," this is a
graphic and interesting description of the beautiful
scenery of a wild range of mountains in the county
of Waterford. The able criticisms of the national
magazine of Ireland have frequently won our warmest
commendations, but neither in this nor in any other
periodical has it been our good fortune to read a more
stirring, spirited, or eloquent criticism than that of
the learned commentator on the important and in-
teresting " Memoirs and Correspondence of Viscount
Castlereagh, second Marquis of Londonderry, edited
London, England, 1849-10-04

THE MIRROR.

In the " Adventures of a French Republican' we
have a spirit•stirring description of the first day's
fight at the barricade of St. Mery, in 1832. This
promises to be one of the most interesting works that
has yet proceeded from the prolific pen of Mr. Percy
St. John. Great praise is due to the author of the
" Biographical Sketches of the Kings of England"
for the impartial manner in which he has described
the character of Charles I. ; he bath extenuated
nothing, neither bath he set aught down in malice ;
and while he reprobates the crimes of the King, he
does full justice to the virtues of the man. The
" History of Music" is continued, and from the
commencement of the 15th chapter we extract the
following excellent plea for vocalists :
" That the ♦ocalist is of the highest importance to
the musical art cannot be doubted; he is the interpreter
of an unknown tongue, and even when singing in a
foreign language renders its meaning to uninstructed
ears, and fills the soul with emotions and ideas both new
and delightful. His power is to song what elocution is
to prose, it developes the beauties of composition to
others, without imposing upon them the lengthened and
painful studies by which the singer has himself attained
his art. Moreover, singing is a natural gift, and not an ac-
quisition; hence the professor is a rarity, and one
selected by bountiful nature expressly to charm and im-
prove the human race. At an expenditure of time and
money any person of moderate comprehension can learn
to play a simple tune; but without voice he must re-
main unbenefitted by the divine powers of song, unless
an interpreter steps to his assistance. Such an interpre-
ter is the vocalist: his brain has been imbued with the
requisite knowledge, and his lips warble forth to hearers
what in the volume of the book had been written." He
thus keeps alive the art of composition, which must
speedily expire without interpretation; he adds fame to
the poet, gives reputation to the composer, and supports
the musician. Meanwhile he developes the bounty of
the Creator in his gifts, and assists in rendering the cares
of life supportable. Let not, then, the vulgar rail at the
high remuneration of vocal talents; they stand second
in value to the intellectual powers of genius, and without
them the world would be a workshop, in which the
strains that give us a foretaste of a hereafter would re-
main voiceless and unheard."
London, England, 1849-10-04

FRASER.

Fraser this month opens with a defence of the
existing Laws of Lunacy, to which we shall hereafter
refer at greater length; we must, however, be per•
mitted, en passant, to express our delight at finding
Fraser taking up the cudgels for these most iniquitous
laws. We cannot but remember that in 1828 lie

violently opposed Catholic Emancipation, which was
carried in the then next session of Parliament ;
that in 1831 he came out in immense force against
the Reform Bill, which became the law of the land
in 1832 ; that he undertook the defence of the Corn
Laws in 1845, which were repealed in the following
year ; and that in 1849i:the Navigation Laws were
repealed, notwithstanding the indignant pro-
tests recorded in Fraser during the whole of
the year 1 848. We hail the omen, and feel convinced
that the Lunacy Laws will be reformed in 1850,
since the regular attendant on dying laws has taken
them under his especial protection. The literary
articles in Fraser are, as usual, of high merit. His
review of Baron Haxthausen's work on "Russia" h
replete with valuable information on the state of the
Russian people and the internal polity of the Russian
Empire. The "Wars of the:Communiades" is a graceful
narrative of the last struggle of free Spain in 1520,
under Don Juan de Padilla, against the despotic
tyranny of the House of Hapsburg. The adventure
of the eccentric Baron Thierry, who set up as a king
in New Zealand, and who was literally roasted by
his subjects and afterwards eaten, form the subject of
the paper entitled " King and No King," and we have
a thorough knouting (richly deserved and well laid
on) of Messrs. Pitman and Ellis, of Fonetic Nuz no•

toriety, in the article entitled " Phonetics." " Fami-
liar Letters from Ireland " is the commencement of a
series which] promises well. We have likewise some
curious extractsfrom the " Gesta Romanorum," the
continuance of "The Peace Campaign of Ensign
Faunce," and the " Current History of the Month."

RU SSIAN -POLAND.

PosEN, JAN. 12.—1 t is very remarkable that re••
ports continue to be received from the Russian-Polish
boundaries, which are quite unanimous on an in
tended invasion of Russia, whereas it is as-
serted, on the other hand, that the most
friendly relations continue to subsist between
the Russian and Prussian Cabinets. We have
again received intelligence from the frontier, that
the Russian Boundary Customs have received private
orders to be in a state of readiness to advance, with
the whole of their superintending officers, in propor•
tion as the Russians continue to cross the Prussian
frontier.

An important measure is about to be introduced
into the Legislature of Posen—trial by jury, and a
perfect, acquaintance with the two national languages
by the jury, the judge, and the lawyers, in order
that the cases may be carried on without interpreters.
London, England, 1849-01-22

HAMBURGH.

JAN. 16.—The current of the Alster has rendered
the ice in the harbour so insecure that there is open
water in several places, and, ere long, barges will be
able to cros. As the Reihersteig begins to be un-
safe in consequence, the passage across to Harburg is
chiefly confined to the Kohlbrand, which is pleasant
and secure.

lIARBCRG, JAN. IG.—The Koh'brand is no longer
considered eecure ; the mails and passengers have,
consequently, proceeded across Wilhelmsburg. At
Mekefeld and here, near the railway stations, the
dykes have been broken in at several places on the
Seeve, by which the neighbouring country has been
under water.
STADE, JAN. 15, NOON.—At Brunshansen the
Elbe, as far as the eye can reach, is completely
covered with a thick coating of drifting ice, and can-
not be passed.
OTTENDORF, JAN. 16, FORENOON.—The channel
is completely free of ice, and navigable ; wind N.W.

THE MARQUIS ON ANGLESEA.

Next came the Warrior Three. Of glory's charms,

Dark blona's Owaine shines with golden arms,
The Roland of the Cymrian Charlemain,
Scathed by the storm the holy chief survives,
For Fame makes holy all its lightning rives.,

LORD JI•RDINGE.

Beside, with simplest gars and sober mien,

Solid as iron not yet wrought to steel,
In his plain manhood Cornwall's chief is seen,
Who (if wild tales some glimpse of truth reveal)
Gave Northern standards to the Indian sun,
And wreaths from palms that shaded Evian won.

THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.

Lo, he whose fame outshines the Fabulous!

Sublime with eagle front, and that grey crown
Which Age, the arch-priest, sets on laurell'd brows ;
Lo, Geriant, bending with a world's renown 1
Yet those grub hairs one ribald scoffer found;—
The moon sways oceans and provokes the hound.

MACAULAY.
As from the Mount of Gold auriferous flows

The Lydian wave, thy pomp of period shines
Resplendant Drydas—glittering as it goes
High from the mount, but labouring thro' the mines,
And thence the tides, enriching as they run,
Glass every truit that ripens to the sun.

LORD STANLEY.
But, like the vigour of a Celtic stream,
Comes Lolod's rush of manly sense along,
Fresh with the sparkles of a healthful beam,
And quick with impulse like a poet's song.
How listening crowds that knightly voice delights
It from those crowds are banished all but knights !

W. Pasley, when Director of the Royal Engineer Es- '
tablishment. The Service requires that something of
the kind should take place; and whether looking at it
as a financial or military measure, the advantages are
two obvious to be doubted. The circumstance of two
separate establishments being kept up for the Corps has
always appeared to us very inconsistent.
Lieutenant Powell holds his commission in his pocket
without the permission to hoist the pendant in the Janus
steam-vessel, at Woolwich, to be fitted for service at
Gibraltar. A screw steamer launch, to be decked, and
to be propelled by a four-horse engine, high pressure,
is to be fitted for the Janus, which boat is to be con-
stantly employed, when the Janus is required at Gibral-
tar, in cruising on the Barbary coast.
ADMIRALTY.--SOMERSET HOUSE.—The following
promotions and appointments in the department of the
Surveyor of the Navy have taken place during the past
week; they are consequent on the death of Mr. Wilson,
late the Chief Draughtsman.—Mr. T. Waterman pro-
moted to be Senior Draughtsman, at 3501. per annum,
vice Wilson, who had 5001. per annum; Mr. James
t)raff promoted to be Second Draughtsman, a* 2501.
per annum, vice Waterway, whose sllary was ;
Mr. William Heridge promoted to he Third Draugh,s-
man, at 1701 per annum, vice Graff ; and Mr. R. Lew-
cock, from Sheerness Dockyard, has b.2en established as
Fourth Draughtsman, at 1501. per annum. Thus it will
be seen that by these promotions a redaction has
been made in salaries of the Draughtsmen in the Sur-
veyor's Department of 3301. per annum, whilst Mr.

The CHIEF BARON, on taking his seat on the bench,
intimated that the Court thought it unnecessary to hear
counsel further in this case, being of opinion that the
plaintiff was clearly entitled to the verdict of the jury.
The rule obtained in the case was therefore discharged.
The Court was occupied during the remainder of the
day with the demurrer papers.

Some months ago the portfolio of Minister of War
for Hungary was offered to General MASSAROS, and
refused by him. The Emperor FERDINAND wrote
an autograph letter to MASSAROS urging him to ac-
cept the office, and in obedience to the command of
the EMPEROR, MASSAROS became Hungarian Minister
of War. On the taking of Pesth he fell into the
hands of WINDISCHGRATZ, and was imme-
diately placed under arrest. The unfortunate
man, aware of the fate which awaited him, blew out
his 'brains. He was highly esteemed, and is uni-
versally- pitied.
The excessive severities of WINPISCHGRATZ have
already produced their effect. The peasants have
risen in many of the districts of Hungary which had
submitted to him, and they are now carrying on an
annoying and destructive guerilla war against the
Imperialists.
Leopoldstadt and Comorn still hold out.
KOSSUTH has taken with him Generals ROTH and
Pumcfrovicll as hostages.
VIENNA, JAN. 13.—The Ministerial President,
Prince FELIZ SCHWARTZENBERG, arrived here yes-
terday from 011mutz. The Hungarian Custom dues
and the internal administration of the country is to
be immediately considered in the Ministerial confer-
ences, and it is hoped that the Minister of Trade,
from Bruck, will associate the principal persons of the
Chamber of Commerce with himself in these con-
sultations.
According to intelligence from Pesth, dated the
12th, Field-Marshal WRBNA, after peacefully occu-
pying Waitzen, broke the four divisions, in order to
pursue the insurgent chief GORGRY, who carried 60
cannons with him on his retreat from Pesth, and had
about 20,000 Houveds under his command.
The Magyars did not make any stay at Weitzel),
but fled towards Erlau. KossuTu announced that
the scat, of thy 21.63 aro would hearcanxr be wt
Dobreczin. _ _

The roads are beginning to be unsafe, for the
fugitive Houved soldiery form themselves into bands
of robbers. Mobile auxiliaries areconsequently being
formed for the security of the States.
M. ROISSER, the editor of the Presburgh Journal,
and REISZBACH, the author of several violent pam-
phlets, have fled; but the preacher RAZGA, the
bookseller WIGAND, and the Sheriff of Presburgh,
BAJESI, have been arrested.
Count ZICHY has been appointed Civil Commis-
sioner of Presburgh, and Field Marshal KEMPEN
Commandant of the city. The country of Neurta
Trentschen, Wieselburg, and Elsenburg, have also
been assigned to him.
Prince ‘N'INDISCHGRATZ has granted unconditional
pardon to young KALMEN, nineteen years of age,
who stopped a courier and burnt his dispatches, as
well as to VoREsMABTI, who had arrested a Heyduc
(a Hungarian foot soldier) as a military spy, and
who had been condemned to be hanged.—Prussian

Sublime with eagle front, and that grey crown
Which Age, the arch-priest, sets on laurell'd brows ;

Yet those grey hairs one ribald scoffer found;—
The moon sways oceans and provokes the hound.

COMMON PLEAS.-(THIS DAY.

POWELL V. BRADBURY AND EVANS.
The arguments in this case, as to whether or not there
should be a new trial, were resumed this morning.
Mr. Hugh Hill was heard on the part of the plaintiff.
Mr. Sergeant Wilkins and Mr. liuddlestone having
been beard on Saturday.
Itiwill be recollected that the plaintiff was formerly sub-
editor of the Daily News, and that the presentidetion was
brought to recover damages for an alleged improper
dismissal from that situation. The action was tried be-
fore the Lord Chief Justice, at Guildhall, when a verdict
for 5001. was found for the plaintiff, the jury express-
ing an opinion that the report was not garbled. The
rule had been obtained by the defendants on the ground
that the verdict was against evidence, and that the da-
mages were excessive. The Attorney -General and Mr.
Wells were then heard in favour of the rule.
Mr. Justice MAULE said, the Court were agreed in
opinion upon one question raised in the case, viz., that
the second plea put in issue nothing else except the
fact of dismissal. They considered that wrongfully, and
without sufficient cause, dismissing the plaintiff was
not material in this action, which was one for breach of
contract. But in respect to the other question, viz., the
verdict being against evidence, they were not quite
agreed. There was some doubt in the minds of the
Court; but as the Learned Chief Justice, who tried the
case, felt dissatisfied with the verdict, hey thought it
pruper that the case should go down, upon the usual
terms of payment of costs, for a new trial.
The rule fur a new trial was, therefore, made absolute

BRUSSELS, JAN. 20.—The Chamber has this day
terminated the discussion of the project of law rela-

this law be replaced for the future by new legislative
measures. _ _

The Chambers expressed their conviction of the
necessity of immediately framing a new law on this
point.

THE COUNTRY MARKETS.

LIVERPOOL, JAN. 20.—There was more steadiness in
our corn market yesterday. The stocks of millers and
dealers being low, a fair extent of business, in retail
quantities, was done in free wheat and flour, at lull
prices. Several parcels of bonded wheat have changed
hands since Tuesday, and prices have an improved ten-
dency. No sellers of Western Canal flour, in bond,
under 25s 6d; there are still buyers at 255. Oats were
held more firmly, but not many were w.mted. Oatmeal
was scarcely so good as on Tuesday. Barley, beans, and
peas were unaltered in value. Indian corn met a fiir
sale for Ireland, and brought about the same prices as
last market day, viz., 28s to 29s for American white and
mixed, and 30s per 4801 b for round and flat yellow corn.
Prices remlin without change to-day, and there is not
much passing in the trade. Indian corn is in better de-
mand than yesterday.

Hannah Hussey. a charwoman, stated that she went
out to a day's work on the last Thursday in the old
year, at 34, New Peter-street, Westminster, and hung
her shawl on the balusters of that house, and when she
was about to leave at eight discovered it had been stolen.
On Saturday afternoon her little girl was in St. James's
Park, when she observed the prisoner wearing her mo-
ther's shawl. The prisoner was subsequently taken into
custody, but she stated that she had the shawl from a
young man named Cooper, who was paying his addresses
to her. This fact was fully established. Cooper was
taken into custody, and the young woman having been
liberated, her evidence was taken against her sweetheart,
who was remanded.
Cooper, it appears, has been previously convicted of
felony.

SCHLESWIG-HOLSTEIN.

JAN. 15.—Among the various reports which
have been spread relative to the negotiations for
peace, that of constituting Schleswig an independent
province was considered the most improbable.
Nevertheless it now appears that there is some
foundation for the report. The whole of Schleswig
is opposed to this project.
The members of the Diet assembled on the 13th,
and resolved, by a great majority, to convoke the
Diet, in order that it may pronounce an energetic
veto against this design. This assembly will pro-
bably be speedily convoked. The following address
has also been voted to the Minister of the Empire
for Foreign Affairs, and is numerously signed:—
"The burghers and undersigned inhabitants of the
city of Schleswig beg very respectfully to make the
following declaration to the Ministry of the Empire :
"We have been informed that in the negotiations
for the conclusion of peace it is the intention of Den-
mark to
Holstein, which have been indissolubly united for
separate the duchies of Schleswig and
centuries, and that the duchy of Schleswig will thus
obtain a so-called independence and sovereignty.
" We will not dilate upon the grief which the bare
mention of this project has caused in Schleswig and
Holstein, but we consider it our sacred duty to make
the following solemn declaration :
"We regard the execution of this project, viz.,
the separation of the duchy of Schleswig from that
of Holstein, under what form soever it may take
place, as a violation of our most sacred privilege, as
the annihilation of our German nationality and our
country, as treason towards Germany ; and we are
firmly decided, that if we should be abandoned by
our people, that is by Germany, to continue the war
with Denmark, single-handed, a war of life and
death. Germans we were Germans we are, and
Germans we will remain. Intimate union with Ger-
many, definitive admission into the German federal
state, this is the aim of our most ardent desire; and
if our vast mother country will not assist us in at-
taining this end, we will show that we are, at all
events, not unworthy of her, and that to conquer or
to die' is our motto. —Harriburgh .Borsenhalle, Jan. 17.

DENMARK-
Accounts from Copenhagen down to the 13th
instant, late in the evening, convey the intelligence
that the Cotnmittee of Finance appointed by the
Diet have decided upon the following points :-Ist.
to empower the Minister of Finance to borrow, by
way of loan,
in the best possible way, seven millions
of dollars ; 2d, to empower the said Minister to
issue 4,000,000 of Exchequer Bills ; also to request
the KING to limit the expenses of his civil list to the
cwest possible sum, under fisting circumstances."

The Danish papers contain the official reply of the
Government to the lengthy memorial of the German
Central Power, on the subject of the Schleswig •Hol-
stein affairs, and the grounds of complaint in regard
to the deviation on the part of Denmark from the
terms of the Malmo armistice.

PRUSSIA.

The Prussian Conservatives are ambitious of ac-
quiring the fame of the officials of the Austrian Chan-
cery as adroit forgers, and they have accordingly pub-
lished a pamphlet entitled " Unmaskings," which is
circulated with the Government paper, Vess's Journal,
which pretends to reveal the most atrocious designs
said to have been entertained by the Liberals. As
several names are mentioned in this clumsy forgery,
the concoctors' have fallen into their own trap as the
persons thus denounced have commenced actions for
defamation against the calumniators.
