Theodore Hook has left Mrs. Trollop V. ithout a rival in that
department et literature in which she has lately made such
rain.l advances in popular favour. The author of " Savings
and Doings" alone of all her contemporaries, equalled tier in
the art she possessed of pourtraying existing society without
exaggeration or caricature. Her charactei s are eminently
true to nature; her scenes such as are continually being acted
in the .world around us ; and the extraordinary interest the
reader never fails to take in her stories, arises entirely from
their resemblance to the course of events which come within
( very ones experience. Her most rt cent novel, " Charles
Chesterfield, or the Youth of Genius," which is just pub-
lished, far excels its predecessors in these admirable qualities.
It is a work no one can read without the highest estimation of
the vigour and freshness of the author's genius, and we do
not, therefore, marvel at the universal desire there exists to
peruse its remarkably clever pages.

GLOBE.—The apathy which has suffered the resto-
ration of the present party in poWer is responded to very
appropriately by the apathy of its chief, as displayed
last night. The country has bought a pig in a poke ;
and in its poke, says Sir Robert Peel, the pig shall stay.
The pig is not to be drawn from its poke, and produced
to the eager eyes of its purchasers, till next February
at soonest. fu Pas voulu, Georges Dandin ! We
should - apologise for this simile ; but we have
the prim example of the Premier to plead for it..
" Shear the pigs, Wore you fleece the sheep," exclaimed
that refined and Right Hon. Gentleman, in one of his
speeches lest session, in ridicule of the claims of the
manufacturers to be allowed to feed themselves. The
choice comparison did not appear in the corrected' report
of his speech ; but the sheep who heard it applauded at
the expanse of the swinish multitude. We wish the
Right Honourable • Baronet joy of this notion of
shearing the pigs ; but we 'suspect that, like a person of
bad eminence, who is said to have tried that experi-
t ment before him, he will have mach cry and !laic
wool. However this may be, the pigs are forewarned,
and may look out for the threatened shearing. The
Right Honourable Baronet has made it clear from his
language at Tamworth, that his theory of the present
distress is, that—if the pigs are not fed—it is all their
own fault. The swinish multitude have being going too
much upon tick ; the joint-stock banks have been to
blame in giving them too much credit. But you blink
the fact that the swinish multitude must live, and that
the class you represent is chargeable with cutting away
that solid basis of commercial transactions which consists
in our surplus population importing food for work done.
What we call the surplus population is that part
which you and your landlords make surplus—that part,
namely, which you have neither sufficient corn to
feed (on an average of years) nor sufficient demand
for their products to employ—and whom (true dogs
in the manger) you will'not suffer others to =prey -find
feed. We have said, on former occasions, that the
real basis of employment is food. Whom the capitalist
can feed he_ can employ at any time. There is always
work enough to be done, for native or foreign uses, if
food is allowed to be abundant —if the labourer is
allowed to live. But the misery and crime of the
present system is this, that—at periods of fre-
Tient recurrence—food is not allowed to be abundant.
The hothe-producer takes upon him to supply more
than he can do regularly. When stimulated by high
price, and aided by fine seasons, he produces
abundance —he is half - ruined. When discou-
raged by that very abundance which has caused millions
to be employed and fed, but has injured the farmer
(under the present system), and when bad seasons re-
cur, he produces less—then is the time for the millions
to suffer—and then is the time for Sir James Graham to
declare that diminished produce must be compensated by
high prices—the prices of scarcity ! We take it upon
us to say that this is the first time, in the history of this
country, that a Minister has dared to avow the intention
of law to keep price high, by keeping food scarce—the
intention of law to guarantee agricultural or any other
calculations of class-profit by the wilful enforcement of
scarcity prices on a nation's food ! Sir James Graham
may seek to explain himself out of this infamy. He can-
not : his language means nothing, or it means this.
STANDARD.—The Ministers, says Lord John, have
been, it is true, only a fortnight in office (if he had
said Sir Robert Peel has been only a fortnight in office
he would have spoken more accurately), but then before
they were in office they had time to consider of a finan-
cial plan. Indeed ! How ? A financial plan surely
has an aspea to the probabilities of expense, and how
could the late opposition form any conception of the pro-
babilities of expense—a very great part of which must
be, in truth, the expense of wars, of the state and
prospects of which it is absolutely impossible
fbr them to know anything ? Sir Robert Peel can-
not even now
.say whether we tare at war or peace
with China Ois. Affghanistan, or whether we. are ,likely
to have War or peace *with the United States ; and until
he had access to the Foreign-offio he could scarcely say
with certainty; whether we were ;or were not to have a
European war. If in February he shall have full know-
ledge upon all these matters it will be then early, But
then Lord John Russell seems to say, that the necessity
for an' exposure of the financial plan is extremely nrgeni:
Then in what position do he and his colleagues, who
delayed that exposure at least one month, appear ?
On the 19th of July Lord John confessed his know-
ledge that Sir R. Peel would be the Queen's Minister
upon the meeting of Parliament—why, then, was not
that month given him to prepare for Parliament that
financial arrangement which Lord John Russell says will
so little bear delay that it ought to be extemporised, even
in ignorance of the foreign relations of the empire ? If
the late Ministers had resigned, as they ought to have
done, on the 18th of May, there would be some reason
to call upon their successors in office to produce a
budget in the middle of September ; but cling-
ing to office until the very end of August, when
they were at length turned out by main force,
it is going a little too far to make the demand upon the
IGth of the following month. Why, Sir Robert Peel
has barely had time to form his Government, although
no Government was ever formed with so little delay
from jealousies or doubts, when the most important act
of a Government is required of him. The Parliamentary
officer whom he is to address, the Chairman of Com-
mittees, has actually still to be appointed before a finan-
cial plan for future years is called for. As to the value
of unuffieial preparation, we have shown how very little
it is where official knowledge is so important as it, is in
affairs. of revenue.

COURIER.—The HouSe of Commons resumed its sit-
tings yesterday, when the First Lord of her Majesty's
Treasury proceeded to lay down the routine of the official
business he proposed to take in hand and dispatch during
the present Session; and to indicate also those more ins-
porta4t questions and measures of policy, the mature
consideration and careful preparation of which necessarily
required a longer delay, and postponement therefore to
the ensuing Session. This is the course which by anticipa-
tion yesterday we presumed to state would be followed on
this occasion, for it is the only course reconcileable indeed
with prudent legislation. Lord J. Russell, who appears
resolved t;) assume and preserve the post of leader
of the Opposition, encouraged probably by the farcical
failure of Mr. Roebuck in that character, deemed other-
wise. So prodigal now in his assurance and estimate
of the transcendant talents of Sir Robert Peel is the
Noble Lord, that he considers him fully equal to the
Ilerculean task of clearing out the Augean stables from
the ten years of overlaid and accumulated rubbish
and almost inextricable confUsion, financial and political,
within the brief space of some fortnight's labour ; en-
cumbered, too, as that fortnight has been with all the
cares and formalities of constructing an administration
and inducting into office-men worthy of the confidence
of the Crown and the country. His Lordship, before inti
mating the convictions he entertained of this surpaising
capacity in Sir Robert, obligingly condescended on the in-
formation that he should not factiously oppose the passage
of the estimates for the public service, because they were
prepared by himself and his late colleagues. This is emi-
nently considerate and forbearing to commence with.
" With regard," said he,• " to th miscellaneous esti-
mates, considering myself and those lately in office par-
ties to those estimates, I shall feel it my duty to attend
and give my support to those votes. But, with regard
to the further statement of the Right Hon. Gentleman, I
shall certainly deem it my duty to take the opportunity
to-morrow, before the House shall go into Committee of
Supply, to state the view which I take of the present
state of public affairs." Upon which, says the report,
loud cheers resounded from the Opposition benches ;
but whether in applause of the magnanimity which dis-
dained to slaughter his own offspring, or the fearlessness
with which he volunteered a speech de omnibus rebus for
the morrow, as much as to say " who's afraid," does
not so clearly appear.

FROM THE DAILY PAPERS OF SATURDAY.
GLOBE.—If the Right Hon. Baronet who, by grace
of the squires, rules the empire, is not to be prevailed
upon (for the lengthy reasons he gave last night) to
draw his pig out of the poke—if we may again imitate
one of his own similes—shreWd suspicions will arise,
from the speeches of Lord John Russell and Lord Pal-
merston, that his best excuse is really this—there is no
pig in it. It is bad enough to have bought a pig in a
poke; but it is worse still if the country shall
discover that it has bought the poke without the
pig. There is another poke however ; and another pig;
and that pig squeaks so naturally, there is no mistaking
the real grunter. Our readers may remember the fable
den actor whose forte was squeaking like a pig, and
a rustic rival, whom the audience decided did not
squeak half so naturally, until it was discovered that
the latter had a pig under his cloak. Even stronger
than this is the illusion of those Tory commercialists,
whose faith in Sir Robert Peel makes them believe
in the real presence of his pig (or. in other words,
that he will really go the whole hog for commercial
enfranchisement), though he will neither let them see
nor bear any symptom to that effect. In the mean-
time, Lord Sandon, the rival provincial actor, makes no
secret of his pig, which is most assuredly alive and
kicking, whatever becomes of that of the Premier. It
will be strange indeed if the positive evidence of Lord
Sandon in the Commons, in addition to that of the Duke
of BuAtinghain in the Cabinet, and the Duke of Rich-
mond in the Lords should not open the eyes of these
trusting Tories to the nature of their blind bargain with
this Ministry ! Lord Sandon said, "It was will known, anti
not disguised, that the present Ministry did not attribute
the present distress to the existence of the Corn-laws, and
that no measure which they might produce to the House would
be brought forward founded on the distress which at present
existed." Mr. Hawes said—" They had at last got a speech
from an Hon. Member opposite, and that of the Noble
Lord the Member for Liverpool did throw some light on
the future commercial policy of the Government. The
Noble Lord had said that it was perfectly well known
that her Majesty's present Ministers did not impute the
prevailing distress to the state of the Corn-laws." Do
they impute that distress in no measure to scarce and
dear food for some years past ? Do they impute that
scarceness and dearness in no measure to the ope-
ration of the present Corn-laws ? Then they shut
their eyes to the plainest facts, and set at defiance the
most obvious deductions from them. But what are
facts and reasons to monopolists ? If fact and reason
influenced them, no monopoly ever would have been in-
stituted. If monopolists only were consulted, no mono-
poly ever would have been overthrown. This will be
,
overthrown,
however
.4s overthrow will quickly ensue

TIMES.—The meeting of the Bank Proprietors
which took place to-day was entirely without a feature
to distinguish it from preceding meetings, except that
even less attempt was made than usual on the part of
the Proprietors to penetrate the mystery which always
hangs over every transaction of the Rail of England.
The Proprietors seem to have become entirely hopeless
of obtaining information, and while in former times a
number of Stockholders have been known to put
searching questions as to the basis on which the dividend
was declared, on the present occasion one alone was
curious to know on what ground he was giving his vote,
and his voice soon subsided amid the general apa-
thy. It was curious to observe the constant
attempt to evade the questions of this one interro-
gator, who merely evinced the very natural desire to
know the affairs of an institution of which he was a
member, by such answers as that it was "not usual" to
go into such matters of detail, that is to say, the only
matters that would throw a light on the state of affairs.
That it is unusuai to give any information is true
enough, but it is the vice of the directory, and is not to
be quoted with complacency as an authority. A series
of questions elicited a statement that the Bank was
prosperous, whereupon the proprietor suggested that 4
per cent, for the half year might be substituted for the
31 as proposed. There was nothing unreasonable in
this suggestion; a loose statement of increasing pros-
perity is met by a loose demand of an additional f per
cent., and though it would probably have been very in-
convenient to have paid this additional per centage,
in the absence of a balance-sheet, and of all definite
statement, there was no reason why 5 or 6 per cent.
should not have been moved. Of course the motion fell
to the ground, almost without a seconder ; but this only
proves an unconquerable apathy on the part of the pro-
prietors, or a desire to sustain the Directors in the work
of concealment, and make a common cause against the
public, even by foregoing their own right of examina-
tion. With those Proprieteirs who meet the Directors
with searching interrogations the public have an interest
in common, as with whatever motive the questions are
put, there is still a desire of publicity, and of obtaining
information useful to the public as well as the Proprie-
tary. A: it is, the interrogating Proprietor;, always in
a decided minority, are dwindling away at every meeting,
so that in a few half-years there will not in all probabi-
lity exist even the small chance of catching a glimpse of
the Bank proceedings which there is at present.
CHRONICLE.—It is with deep regret we have to an-
nounce that the highly respectable banking-house of
Messrs. Hobhouse and Co., of Bath, has been obliged to
stop payment, owing to heavy advances to two houses
engaged in the woollen manufacture, by which means
a large amount of their capital has been locked up in
unavailable securities. The conduct of the firm under
these circumstances has been highly correct and honour-
able,
and such as.refiects great credit upon all concerned.
We understand that they had orders to sell stock to-day
to the amount of 7,0001., which they refused to use, and,
with the same feeling of upright integrity, resolved to
declare their insolvency before the October dividends
become due, when a large amount of dividends would
be payable to them under numerous powers of attorney.
The liabilities are not yet ascertained, but the amount
stated to-day in the City is greatly exaggerated. Their
circulation is not over 50,000., but they have consider-
able deposits. They had only two branches, one at Brad-
ford, and the other at. Trowbridge.

FROM THE MORNING PAPERS OF SATURDAY.
TlMES.—There has been so long an expectation in
the city that recourse would be had by Government to a
loan; and that all the financial difficulties of the country
would be solved by some sweeping measure, that the
declaration of Sir Robert Peel last night that the sum of
nearly 2,500,000/ would have to be provided for the
current year, and that further financial measures would
not be submitted to Parliament during the present
Session, has given a decided firmness to the Public
Securities. Previous expectation was not confined, even
to a funding of Exchequer Bills, but it was anticipated
that there would be a fresh creation of Stock, and hence
the beneficial effect of a declaration which amounts to
no more than a notice of a vote of credit. But there are
other causes which tend to remove a depression in the
Money Market, and which make the Stocks assume
their natural buoyancy, The French loan was
expected to be of such magnitude, and the idea
was at times so prevalent that it would draw
a great quantity of money out of the country,
and thereby create an adverse state of the exchanges,
that it hung like a dead weight over the Money Market,
and rendered every operation uncertain. Now it is
known that the amount of that loan is only 6,000,0001.
instead of 40,000,000/., an amount so trifling that it is
not to be expected the Paris bankers will allow any
portion of it to find its way into our market, one cause of
uneasiness is entirely removed. The belief also that
France is better disposed towards the present
,than to-
wards the late Ministers also has its beneficial effect, not
so much shown by an advance in the quotations, i
as by an
increase of firmness and general confidence. There s
always a constant investment in Consols by the public,
and almost on every occasion the bona fide purchases
greatly exceed the sales. Hence, the natural tendency is
always to a rise, without any further impulse than the
mere removal of a depressing cause. When left to the
full operation of public action, the English Securities rise
almost as a matter of course. Nevertheless, the Money
Market is, according to some accounts, rather uneasy,
from the great depression of trade and demand for
money, which has not affected the Funded Securities.
The failure of Messrs. Hobhouse and Co., of Bath, has
occasioned little or no effect in the City. The cause is
said to be their connexion with some of the clothiers of
Wiltshire, whose acceptances they•held to a considerable
amount. The other local Banks had kept their supplies
in London, and. were so fully provided, immediately on
the failure of Messrs. Hobhouse and Co., that they have
nut been in the slightest degree affected by that event.
The whole liabilities Of Messrs. Ilobhouse and Co., in
the shape of notes aad deposits, are said not to exceed
100,000 L

ADVERTISER.—The Brazil mail has not arrived
yet ; but by accounts via the United States, we have a
few items of news deserving a passing notice. Among
other things, we notice the account of an affair, which
eeserves attention, viz., the delivefy of a forger by the
Hamburg authorities to the Government at Rio. The
necessity of repressing crime in all parts of the world,
mot e especially where breaches of trust are concerned,
has long been felt, even if no decided course of action
has been adopted in reference thereto, and if some exer •
tion had been made by the different Powers, we should
have probably heard less of those infamous cases of
Swartwouting, or robbery of bank tills and public trea-
suries, by the cashiers in different parts of the United
States. Chat it is considered a subject worth negoci-
ating upon, we have every evidence from the fact of
several nations in their treaties of peace, the French
under Napoleon, for instance, having introduced clauses
expressly providing for the mutual delivery of all refu
gee criminals, not political off, nders, at the demand of
either Power. The particulars of the present case, as
they appear in the Rio accounts, are briefly that, about
the beginning of this year some large bills, accepted by
one of the first Brazilian houses, and discounted at Rio
by various merchants, were refused payment by that
hou3e, alleging that the acceptance was not its own, and
many conflicting opinions were afloat, which the lawyers,
not better there than elsewhere, tried to confuse as much
as was in their power. The amounts were from 3,0001.
to 4,0001.
The project for a railroad in Brazil had been tasltteanteuopf
with much warmth by the Government, as the
the internal communication rendered something of the
kind very desirable.
