trasive. lam not hinting to be asked: you must under•
etar.,l that.'

I un4(;r6tanl th‘.e, 17,)u sonatimes
lectu.e rne for wishin4 to be rich, Lina; Lut if 121 ere
rich, you nhould live here altv:!ys: at any rate, you should
live ,t-ith me wherever my haiiitation might be.'
" That SCeu!d be pleasant; and it you were poor—
ever so poor—it would still be pleasant. Good night,
Rohert.'

" I promised to walk with you up to the Rectory.'
" I know you did; but I thought you had forgotten,
and I hardly know how to remind you, though I wished
to do it. But would you like to go? It is a cold night;
and, as Fanny is come, there is no necessity—'
Hero is you muff—don't wake Hortense—come.'
" The half mile t) the Rectory was aeon travcraed.
They paved in the garden without kiss, scarcely with a
pressure of hands; 2:et Robert sent his cousin in excited
and joyously troubled. He had been singularly kind to
h.m that day: not in phrae; compliment, profession; but
in mariner, in look, nod in soft and friendly tones.
" For himself, he came home grave, almost morose.
As he stood leaning on his own yard gate, musing in the
wa.',ery moonlight, all alone—the hushed, dark mill before
hire, the hill-environed hollow round—ho exclaimed
abruptly
, . . .

" This won't du! Thk.re's weakness—there's down-
right ruin in all this. However,' he added, dropping his
voice, the phreLzy is quite tetnp3rary. I know it very
well: I have had it before. It will be gone to morrow.'"
And it was gone to-morrow. After an evening of
blissful meditation, the unconscious Caroline repairs
the next morning to the cottage (for her lesson), her
heart full of happiness at the thought of meeting
Robert. She does meet him :

"Arriving in sight of the white house, and within hear-
ing of the thundering mill and its rushing water-course,
the first thing she saw was Moore at his garden gate.
There he stood, in his belted Holland blouse, a light cap
covering his head, which undress costume suited him:
he was looking down the lane, not in the direction of
his cousin's approach. She stopped, withdrawing a little
behind a willow, and studied his appearance.
" 6 Ile has not his peer,' she thought; he is as hand-
some as he is intelligent. What a keen eye he has!
What clearly cut, spirited features—thin and serious, but
graceful! Ido like his face—l do like his aspect—l do
like him so much! Better than any of those shuffling
curates, for instance—better than anybody: bonnie
Robert l'

" She sought bonnie Robert's' presence speedily.
For his part, when she challenged his sight, I believe he
would have passed from before her eyes like a phantom,
if he could; but beirg a tall fact, and no fiction, he was
obliged to stand the greeting, He made it brief: it was
cousin-like, brother like, friend-like, anything but lover-
like. The nameless charm of last night bad left his
manner: ho was no longer the same man; or, at any rate
the same heart did not beat in his breast. Rude disap-
pointment! sharp cross! At first the eager girl would
not believe in the change, though she saw and felt it.
It was difficult to withdraw her hand from his, till he
had bestowed at least something like a kind pressure;
it was difficult to turn her eyes from his eyes, till his
looks had expressed something more and fonder than
that cool welcome.
" A lover masculine so disappointed can speak and
urge explanation, a lover feminine can say nothing: if
she did the result would be shame and anguish, inward
remorse for self-treachery. Nature would brand such
demonstration as a rebellion against her instincts, and
would vindictively repay it afterwards by the thunder.
bolt of self-contempt smiting suddenly in secret. Take
the matter as you find it: ask no questions; utter no
remonstrances: it is your best wisdom. You expected
broad, and you have got a stone; break your teeth on it,
and don't shriek because the nerves are martyrized: do
not doubt that your mental stomach—if you have such
a thing—is strong as an ostrich's—the stone will digest.
You held out your hand for an egg, and fate put into it
a scorpion. Show no consternation: close your fingers
firmly upon the gift; let it sting through your palm.
Never mind: in time, after your hand and arm have
se riled and quivered long with torture, the squeezed
scorpion will die, and you will have learned the great
lessen how to endure without a sob. For the whole
remnant of your life, if you survive the test—some, it
is said, die under it-e-you will be stronger, wiser, less
sensitive. This you are not aware of, perhaps, at the
time, and so cannot borrow courage of that hope. Na-
ture, however, as has been intimated, is an excellent
friend in such Cases; sealing the lips, interdicting utter-
ance, commanding a placid dissimulation: a dissimula-
tion often wearing an easy and gay mien at first, settling
down to sorrow and paleness in time, then passing away
and leaving a convenient stoicism, not the less fortifying
because it is half-bitter.

" But what has been said in the last page or two is
not germane to Car..line lltistone's feelings, or to the
stAto of things between her and Robert Moore. Robert
had done her no wrong: he had told her no lie; it was
she that was to blame, if any one was: what bitterness
her mind distilled should and would be poured on her
own head. She had loved without beine, asked to love
—a natural, sometimes an inevitable chance, but big
with misery.
" Robert, indeed, had sometimes seemed to be fond of
her—but why ? Because she had made herself so pleas-
ing to him, he could not, in spite of all his efforts, help
testifying a state of fooling his judgment did not approve,
nor his will sanction. He was about to withdraw de-
cidedly from intimate communication with her, because
he did not choose to have his affections inextricably
entangled, nor to be drawn, despite his reason, into a
marriage he believed imprudent. Now, what was she to
do—to give way to her feelings, or to vanquish them?
To pursue him, or to turn upon herself? If she is weak,
she will try the first expedient—will lose his esteem and
win his aversion; if she has sense, she will be her own
governor, and resolve to subdue and bring under guid-
ance the disturbed realm of ber emotions. She will
determine to look on life steadily, as it is; to begin to
learn its severe truths seriously, and to study its knotty
problems closely, conscientiously."
The readers of " Jane Eyre" failed to recognise the
authoress, but no one who peruses the touching
narrative of Caroline's sorrows and struggles—a
narrative too long to be quoted here, and too beau-
tiful to suffer us to mar it by curtailment—will doubt
for a moment that a woman s heart has dictated this
revelation of a woman's sufferings. Apart from the
interest attaching to the two love stories, the dangers
and difficulties of the enterprising mill-owners, unro-
mantic though they be, are full of attraction. The
scene in which we are first introduced to Robert
Moore is well described. He is waiting with more
anxiety than he is wiling to confess for the arrival of
some waggons containing new machinery. It has
been threatened by men, thrown out of work by the
improvements, that all such machines shall be
destroyed, but Moore perseveres. The hours pass
and the waggons do not arrive. At last their rum-
bling sound is heard. Moore goes out to meet them ;
he can hardly distinguish them in the darkness, "Is
all right, Joe Scott ?" he exclaims. No answer. "Is
all rigat ?" he asks again, and this time a loud
voice replies, " Ay, all might, divil, we've
smashed em !" Written, as it is, in an
earnest, unaffected, and impressive style, and
abcundin4, as it does, with most masterly delinea-
tions of human passion, " Shirley" cannot fail to be
successful. Its influence on the heart is good ; it
gives exercise to some of our best emotions ; yet
" Shirley" is not *quite faultless. We have, it is true,
no such repulsive hero as Mr. Rochester, yet the pro-
minent features of all Currer Bell's heroes are stern
and hard—at least they seem so by the side of the all-
attractive and most womanly heroines. Robert Moore
is perhaps an exception ; his character is delicately and
naturally drawn. We are loth, however, to dwell on the
faults of a book which has pleased us so much as
" Shirley." Its author is evidently endowed with a
, tender heart and a thinking brain, and will confer
1 yet further obligations on the reading public. As
" Shirley " is an improvement on " Jane Eyre," in
some particulars, warmed with a greater glow of
human tenderness ; so we doubt not that the next
production of Currer Bell will again be an improve-
ment in some respects on "Shirley "—in some
reswcts only, for in others " Shirley "is perfect.

STATE OF TRADE.--MANCHESTE R, TUESDAY.
There has been a degree of excitement in the market
to-day, owing to the arrival of the Niagara steamer,
with dates from New York to the 31st ult., and in reply
to letters hence of the 13th ult., showing en excited
cotton market in Liverpool, with
.advanced prices of -11
to ?I per lb. Cotton has advanced in New York 4to I-
nept, and no better estimates of the crop are given than
have before appeared. Some of the larger producers
here do not offer their stocks; others require further
advances, the general result being. that there has been
more disposition on the part of buyers to do business,
particularly in cloths, at rates which could not have been
conceded last market day. There appears to be very
large orders for cloth in the hands of buyers, but at pre-
sent limited producers will not accept. Heavy cictha do
not improve. Upon the whole, the feeling is healthy
and firm, and the opinion that higher rates must prevail
,gains ground.
TaiN, Nov. B.—SNow STORM.—On Monday last,
we had the first unmistakeable sign of an approaching
winter, for the day was very rainy—and we had showers
of snow also in abundance. On Tuesday it snowed
the whole day without intermission ; and yesterday
morning, the whole ground was covered with it to the
depth of about six 'inches. The mails from the North
and south have been irregular since Monday in conse-
quence; and yesterday, the
'coach from the south did
not arrive till about four o clock. To-day it is still
very frosty, but we hope that the snow will soon dis-
appear. .
HIGHLAND STOCK mu ENGLAND.--A few days
ago, a lot of ten very fine three year-old highland stots
were shipped at Fiudhorn per North Star steamer, from
the stock of Dunphail, the property of Major Cumming

FRAN CE.

The ilfoqiteur pub;iihes the following circular,
dated the 11th, from the :Minister of the Interi!ar to
the Prefects of the departments:—
" Monsieur le is Coe duty of the Govern-
ment to require, from all the; functionaries ti whom it
accords its confidence, an energetic and sincere
devotedness to the cause of order. Order means
authority every where obeJed and respected,
security for all persons, labour protected and
confident as to the future, and liberty within the limits
of the law. In a time of calm, when things follow
their regular course, the administration, invested with
htli patronage, may lock at political struggles with
a sort of neutrality; all that is then necessary
is the pacific co-operation of ideas and doctrines. But

. _
in a time of terioul convulsion, when tin se strug,glos
are fo:_the greater part violrnt, and have for their object
the overthrow or the maintenance of eoeial order, thu
part of the achninistrators becomes more active, and
their opera'Lns more extensive and more imperative.
They are then the first soldiers of order; it is their
duty to rush to every breach, to defend it with energy,
and to endeavour by intelligent and assiduous (Gas
to close it. To resist the enterprises of anarchy is
not reaction against progress, it is to secure its course
and enlighten its objrct. The policy of the Govern-
ment of the Republic has two essential conditions:

irresistible firmness in the execution of the laws,
and prudent and enlightened solicitude for all interests.
It is by uscful and patriotic efforts, such as those which
I require from your zeal, that you will rally to the
present Government all the men of order, and re -
alise that cohesion of view.; and tendencies which is
so necessary to the work of defence and salvation
which it is our mission to accomplish. The active and
watchful co-operation which I confidently expect from
you, you will rigorously exact from all functionaries
placed under your orders ; you will obtain it, Monsieur
le P, 4fet, from all good cithens, whom love for their
country and a regard for their own interests ought to
draw round a strong and vigilant administration. It is
necessary that the impulse should be general, energetic,
snd sustained, in order to produce all its effect. We
take our example is the conduct of the Chief of the
Government himself, who has loudly and firmly ma-
nifested his will not to forget any one of the obli-
gations of his popular mandate. The course that he
indicates to us with the sure instincts of his patriotism is
the best; let us not hesitate to engage in it with him;
we shall find him courageous and persevering; our
surest reward will be in the conviction of having accom-
plished our difficult and imperative duties, and in the
gratitude of a society whose adversaries increase in
number and violence only in proportion with the weak-
ness and hesitation of those who are called upon to
govern. Be assured, Monsieur le Pi 6fet, that the proofs
which you shall give of your devotedness to the cause of
the country shall be faithfully reported to the President of
the Republic, who so well knows how to appreciate the
service rendered to France, and who feels sincere joy
when the occasion presents itself for rewarding them.
I desire that you should make me acquainted within the
shortest possible delay with your opinion of the state of
things in your department, with the wants which are
there manifested, and the measures which you consider
necessary to strengthen authority and protect order, so
necessary for the liberty and the prosperity of the coun-
try.—Receive, Prefet, the assurance of my very
distinguished consideration.

" FERDECAND BAUROT."

The Presse says:—" M. earlier has caused to be
effaced from the head of the placard which made
known his proclamation to the public the words—
Republique Francaise, Liberte, Egalite, Fraternite.
It is positively stated that, by his orders, the words
will be henceforth omitted from all the documents of
the Prefecture of Police."

The Moniteur publishes the following official ac-
count of the reception of the new ituaerican Minister
by the President of the French Republic :
"On Thursday evening last the President of the
Republic received, in a private audience, the Minister of
the United States, with whom tho communications had
been interrupted, in consequence of the difference that
has arisen between M. Poussin and the Minister of
Foreign Affairs of the Cabinet at Washington.
Tale President of the Republic declared to the
Minister of the United States that, notwitu-
standing the faults which it was right to admit on both
sides, he willingly took the first step towards the re-
establishment of good harp my between the two
countries ; and that a susceptibility which would be,
perhaps, natural with respect to a Monarchy, did
not appear to him to have the same serious
motive as regarded an elder Republic. He added
that, however jealous he ought to be of the honour
of Franco, he had too high an opinion of the
enlightened character of General Taylor, to hesitate a
moment in acknowledging the pain which he felt at
seeing sentiments of friendship, so intimate and of such
ancient date, altered on account of a misunderstanding
without importance.
" The Ambassador of the United States received this
frank and loyal declaration with entire cordiality."
It is said that the Government has received
dispatches from Rome, announcing the approaching
return of the Pope to the Holy City.

only partly found purchasers at rather lower rates; ord
I to good soft brown went at 29a 61 to 30s 6d, low yellow
11 3 Li, rind 34 Gd, good 3Gs to 36s 6.1. O! 3,061 bags Ma-
villa, a part only sold at 34s to 35s for strong greyish
imee'n, and at 33s to 34s for syrupy.
FOILEIGN.—To-day there wa, no public sale for Fo•
reign Sugar, and by private treaty operations were to a
fair event for export, whilst full rates are paid for
white, brown, and yellow kinds.
NOLASSF.S..—West India met with less attention, and
prices are not so firm, still there is only a limited supply
at market. The private sales have been only 100 puns
of Demerara and Trinidad at 15 i to 153 6d, and small
parcels of better sort at 16s 61 to 18i. For Bengal
Treacle the market has a quiet appearance, and a desire
is evicted to sell at 14s 6d to 15s; the tendency of prices
is evidently downwards, and a larger quantity is on offer.
COCOA.— The low prices cuirent fur Foreign have at
length attracted atteeii( n, ar d by private treaty 1,000
hags Guayaquil were disposed of at 26s per cwt. In
West India operations have been upon a more extended
scale, in consequence of rather lower rates having been
acceded to, and 350 bags Trinidad at auction were all
sold at from 38s to 44s per cwt. Au impression exists
that prices have arrived at their lowest point, although
there is a larger stock.
COFFEE.—This afternoon there was less excitement in
the Coffee mar ket, chippers and home dealers were not so
willing to purchase: at public sale, 377 casks and 1,000
bags Plantation Ceylon were offered, and about two-
thirds sold at the former value—fine at 65s to 70s, good
60s to 645, mid 57s to 595, low mid 54s to 565,
other sorts 483 to 535,_ and triage 42s 6d to
48s. Native is less wanted, and 400 bags at auction
were taken in at 46s to 46s 6d, for good ord;
57 bales 92 half-do Mocha went at higher rates, good
greenish clean garbled at 603 to 645, low mid 545, and
triage at 34s to 375; 278 bags Madras fine sold at 62s 6d
to 63s 6d, good ord 445 6d; 420 bags Manilla, good ord
pale 46s to 46s Gd; 60 bags Rio taken in at 43s 6d, and
80 bags St. Domingo at 455, but 97 bags Java sold at
43s Gd for Singapore.
TEL—A further improvement has taken place in the
demand for Green, and large parcels have been disposed
of at fully former terms, indeed Young Hyson realised
an advance of id to id per lb; the lower kinds continue
most in request. For the better sorts of scented caper
and orange Pekoe there are still free buyers at from
Is 3d to Is 7d. Black Tea is not offered at any
further decline, still town and country dealers continue
to operate with caution. For ord and good ord Congou
holders ask 81e1 to 9d, mixed blackish leaf 9d to 141,
blackish leaf rather strong lid to is ()id, ditto strong
Is Id to is 2d, fine and Pekoe flavor Is lid to is 93 per
lb. None has been offered at auction, but a parcel of
Assam is declared.

RICE —To-day there was no public sale of East India
Rice, but by private treaty operations are upon rather a
larger scale, and former rates aro well supported. •
SPICES.—To-day at auction 22 bags of Ceylon Cinna-
mon were taken in at 11d to Is 2d; 4 cases Penang
Cloves, mid is 2d; 441 begs African sold at 7d to lid,

to 33 2d, broken is 7d to 2s, wormy 10d to Is, and fair
limed 2s 6d; 112 bags wild in the shell taken in at Gd; 44
bags Malabar Pepper was withdrawn; 220 bags Malabar
Ginger sold at 22s for fair wormy export sorts; 2 cases
11ace ord and good ord red lid to 2s Id per lb.
SPlRlTS.—Leeward Island Rum has not improved in
value, still operations have been upon a large scale, and
amount to 800 puns at Is 41-d to is 5d per gallon proof.
At these rates there are not generally sellers. In East
India a good trade has been concluded at fully former
terms, and the sales are 400 hogsheads at is 3d to
Is Sad proof. Of Demerara several parcels have been
disposed of at from 2s to 2s 3d for 30 to 36 per cent
over proof. Previous rates are insisted upon for all
sorts of Jamaica, and the home as well as export de-
mand is good-ord and mid quality 28 to 32 per cent over
proof realised 2s 4d to 2s Bd, good 23 9d to 3s, and su•

and fine for consumption at 24.1 to 3s 31 British made
Spirit has been operated in with caution at 9s Bd, and
Gin at 8s to Sc 61 for 17 and 22 ver cent. under proof.
SALTPETRE.—OnIy limited purchases have been made
by private treaty, although there are sellers at rather
lower terms. A part only of 900 bags Calcutta at
auction found buyers at 2Gs 61 to 27s for 104 to 74 per
cent refraction. The value of good and fine is from
27s to 28s. For British Refilled the trade is quiet,
and 30s to 30s 6d is the value. Nitrate of Soda at 12s
to 123 3d per cwt.
Faurr.—Raisins have been in extensive request, and
an advance in the value has taken place; on the part of
holders there is firmness, and prime new Valencias can-
not be obtained under 45s per cwt. In Currants a good
business has been concluded—new at from 38s to 425,
and old at 345 to 365; Turkey fulled Figs from 50s to
80s; Muscatel from 56s to 86s, and the demand is get-'
ting larger; Sultanas 62s to 64s per cwt.
CocIIINEAL.—This afternoon the quantity of Cochi
neal submitted to public sale was large, and amounted
to 330 bags. There was a good demand, and nearly
the whole sold upon full terms—Mexican silvers went
at 3s 61 to 3s 7d, blacks 3s 81 to 3s lid; Honduras
silvers 33 6d to 4s, black 3s 81 to 4s 71, and Teneriffs
3s lid to 4s 3d per lb. _

INDIGO.—There was firmness in the market for East
India to-day, and shippers as well as home dealers
were buyers to a fair extent. At auction 75 chests
sold at 2s 31 to 3s led for Madras and Kurpah, and a
few chests ordinary Manilla at is 6d to is Bd—being full
rates.

OILs.—To-day a public sale of 300 hhds Cocoa Nut
Oil went heavily, and nearly the whole was taken in at
33s for good East India.
TALLow.—There has been a much better demand for
Russian on the spot, and prices have assumed
en upward tendency, fine P.Y.C. selling at 37a 3d
to 37s 6d per cwt, and on the part of holders there is firm-
ness. For delivery up to the close of the year pur-
chases to a fair extent made at 37s to 37s 3d ; and for the
early part of 1850 some contracts have been concluded
at 37s 61 to 37s 9d ; at these rates there are
not free sellers. Home melted has been in lively
demand at 36s 6Li to 37s net cash. Of other kinds of
Tallow large parcels have been sold at full terms. At
