an improved character, buyers being less inclined to limit
purchases. There was also more inquiry and a better
demand for exportation. Recent ad vices from the United
States represent that prices had undergone no material
change, the factors generally having continued to main-
tain a good degree of firmness. Imports 2,150 hhds,

ing month of 1847. Stock 28,235 hhds against 26,000

AQUATICS.
WENTZELL'S OARS MATCH.
The annual contest for two pairs of silver.oars, the gift
of Mr. A. Wentzell, for competition amongst tradesmen,
and other respectable amateurs, came off yesterday, and
was throughout a very spirited affair, affording consi-
derable gratification to a vast concourse of spectators.
First heat—Saxby and Blinkho (yellow), 1; C. Mining
and Erwood (red), 2; Dimes and D. Mining (white), 3;
Clark and Price (purple), 0; Burns and Derbyshire
(green), 0. The race was confined to the vicinity of
Lambetb. The winners took the lead and kept it. The
other four made a capital race.
Second heat—Hawes and Law (black), I; Rpgan and
Smith (pink), 2; Pegler and R. Clayton (stripe),
Harris and J. Claxton (blue), 0. Black soon went in
advance, and kept it. It was again a capital race fur
second place.
Grand heat— Saxby and Blinkho, 1; Hawes and Law,
2; C. Mining and Erwood, 0; Regan and Smith, 0.
Black took the lead, but off the Penitentiary shipped a
deal of water, which much impeded him, and Rid, with
a good chance of success, fouled the umpire's boat.
Saxby and partner won by half a dozen lengths.

MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS.
CITY, QUARTER TO THREE,
In the Cotton Market at Liverpool yesterday there was
no change. Sales, 2,000 bales.—Railway shares wero
flat, but not much was doing.
The continental advices received to-day are not of a
veryinteresting character. The storm which raged
here last week was experienced also in Belgium.
The exchange on London at Hamburgh last Friday
was 13 Money was very easy.
The steamer Acadia furnishes late intelligence from
the United States and Canada. The money market was
in a steady position in New York, and the exchange on
London was 1094 to 109 i. It is stated that—
Immense sales of dry goods at auction are announced
for Wednesday next. The lots to be offered embrace a
large amount of goods from the principal eastern manu-
facturers, and also many of foreign manufacture, and
comprise GOO cases mousseline de laines from the Man-
chester mills ; 650 cases blue deminas from the Otis
and oxford companies ; '2OO Otis tickings ; 335 cases
tweeds, stripes, ginghams, and jeans from the Columbia
and Thorndike companies ; 400 cases fine Waltham
bleached cottons ; 100 bales brown ditto ; 300 cases
flannels ; 250 cases fine cassimeres ; and 500 cases im-
ported alpaccas, blankets, linens, &c. This is the open-
ing of the sales of the fall trade, and they will, without
doubt, attract a great number of merchants from other
cities. A very fair business has already been done this
season with the south and the south-west, and the indi-
cations at present are decidedly in favour of a large trade
with all sections of the country."
The Gaspe Gazette contains an article on the affairs
of the Gaspe Company, which it represents as being ty
a sad state of confusion, the labourers employed by it
being unpaid. This paper states—" We cannot attribute
the fault to the manager here; but the conduct of the
board of directors in London, in not putting him in funds,
is scandalous, and we trust that they will not be allowed,
to obtain their Act of Incorporation until a full expose
of their proceedings shall be laid before the public. The
worthy Member for this county, Mr. Christie, ushered
the bantling' into the world, and we wish he could de-
vise some means to find security for its good behaviour."
A Nova Scotian journal remarks—" We regret to
hear that the potato blight has not been confined to our
sister province of New Brunswick, but that its fatal
death-speck has already been visible in several places on
the peninsula of Halifax. From the interior, wo have
as yet heard nothing but cheering accounts of the pros-
pects of the farmer, and reiterated assurances that this
year his labour will not be in vain. So let us hope. But
the disease, we fear, is too contagious and too universal
to be confined to a single district, or even to a single
county."
The English Funds are flatter to-day, although there
is very little doing. Consols 86 to 861 for money, and
86 to j for account. It appears as if the settlement
would be Bullish. Exchequer-bills are 225. to 255. pre-
mium for those of June. Bank Stock is worth 196. The
New Three-and-a-Quarter per Cents have been 86k to
to 87k.
Spanish Active Bonds have been 12, and Portuguese
Four per Cents 22 to 22k. These are the only bargains
in Foreign Stocks.
Shares are quiet.

CRICK ET.
THREE OF ALL ENGLAND*. THREE OF SHEFFIELD.
This match was got up after the termination of the
Eleven of all England v. Sixteen of Sheffield contest had
been brought to a conclusion, and was played on the
Hyde-park ground, on Thursday and Friday last. It
could not, however, be played out, in consequence of the
Eleven being compelled to start for Bradford, at which
place they will commence operations this morning in op-
position to twenty of that place and district.
As the respective sides were at first arranged for this
single• wicket match, England was to have been repre-
sented by Mr. Mynn, Parr, and W. Pilch, but the second
party having been injured by a blow from the ball, his
vacancy was supplied by Mr. C. 11. Hoare. England
having won the toss took the bat in the first instance.

DISTRESSING OCCURRENCE.—On Wednesday after-
noon an accident of a very distressing nature occurrc
at Babberton Mains, parish of Currie, which has un,
fortunately proved fatal to one of the parties, and occa-
sioned much distress to the other. From what we have
learned, it appears that Mr. Scott, farmer there, had
taken down a loaded gun from the wall of the kitchen,
and while engaged in examining. the lock, it went off,
when the contents were lodged in the body of a man
who is well known in that district by the soubriquet of
" Johnnie Bauchels." The unfortunate individual MS
killed almost instantaneously.—Scotsmon.
A site has been given by Mr. Adderley, M.P.,t
the Worcester Board of Education, for the purpose of
erecting a training institution on a large scale for the
whole of that diocese. The site is conviently situated
near Birmingham. A sum of 5,0001. has been raised to-
wards the first outlay, and 360/. a-year towards the an-
avid opining 9f the wititutico.

MAUNDERS TREASURY OF NATUR•iL

Another " Treasury" from the indefatigable
Maunder 1 Already he has given us a " Treasury of
Knowledge," a " Treasury of History," a " Trea-
sury of Wography," and a " Treasury cf " Science,"
each of which volumes is almost a library in itself.
But evidently desiring to give us a treasury of
"Treasures," Mr. Maunder has not yet abated his
exertions, or suffered his zeal and energy to diminish,
and has now presented us with a fifth specimen of his
diligence. The " Treasury of Natural History" is
best described in its own words, as set forth in its
title page, which declares it to be " a Popular Dic-
tionary of Animated Nature, in which the zoological
characteristics that distinguish the different classes,
genera, and species, are combined with a variety of
interesting information, illustrative of the habits,
instincts, and general economy of the animal king-
dom." In order to render the work more
attractive to the general reader, it is embel-
lished with nine hundred wood-cuts, represent-
ing the principal animals described, besides a
very beautiful frontispiece, finely engraved, in which
the whole animal world, from the butterfly to the
elephant, are grouped together with most artistic
skill. The " general reader " will, moreover, find
abundant amusement in the countless anecdotes illus-
trative of the habits and customs of various animals
scattered throughout these pages, while the naturalist
will find his taste consulted by an introductory
enumeration of the various divisions, orders, and sub-
orders of the animal kingdom. The subjects have
been arranged alphabetically, so as to render the
work a zoological dictionary, where the pecu-
liarities of any individual animal can be learned
on a moment's inquiry. The personal ap-
pearance of Maunders' treasuries, their coin-
pact form, the sober elegance of the bind
ing, and the peculiar excellence of the typo-
graphy—are too well known, and too generally ap-
preciated, to require comment or commendation. It
is cient for us to say that, in its general charac-
teristics, this new corner resembles and equals its
predecessors, while its individual peculiarities render
it worthy to rank beside them. In these closely-.
printed double-columned (but withal most legible)
756 pages, are condensed, the information, the in-
terest, and the intelligence of a whole naturalist's
library. The stores of Cuvier and his confri7Tes have
been ransacked with most scrupulous care, and rifled
with unscrupulous avidity—their scattered gems of
knowledge, are here collected, and constitute the
chief treasures of the "Treasury." Mr. Maunder has
been careful to acknowledge all select materials, and to
append to them the author's name. But if many of the
gems of the "Treasury" have been amassed from other
stores, the selection and the arrangement alone
must have constituted a peculiarly arduous and diffi-
cult labour—a labour which greatly increases the
debt of gratitude already due by the public to the
universal lexicographer. Appended to this work is
" a syllabus of practical taxidermy," which gives co-
pious instructions as to the best methods of preparing
and preserving specimens of natural history; to which
is added a " Glossarial Appendix," or dictionary of
zoological words. These appendices render the
" Treasury" complete.

THE KELLYS AND THE O'KELLYS ; or,' 1
LANDLORDS AND TENANTS. By A. Trod- '
luppe. 3 Vols. ,
It might be supposed, from the second title of this
book, that " The Kellys and the O'Kellys" is a poli-
tical novel, and the first chapter, which relates to the
trial of O'Connell, tends to corroborate such a sup-
position. Having perused the entire work, however,
we can assure those who may only have seen the title,
or glanced at the commencement, that " The Kellys
and O'Kellys" has absolutely nothing to do with po-
litics—that it is no treatise on the relative positions
of landlord and tenant—that it is, in fact, neither more
nor less than a genuine picture of Irish life. That
definition at once conveys the best description of the
work, and constitutes its highest eulogium. The
plot is exceedingly simple, its chief interest is excited
by the difficulties which beset Lord Ballandine (the
O'Kelly) and Martin Kelly in their several endea-
vours to obtain an heiress as a bride. A half-friend-
ship subsists between Lord Ballandine and his
tenant Martin, " for Shure they were all
one family, at least so the Kellys said,
and I never heard (writes their historian) that the
O'Kellys denied it." The most interesting portion
of the tale is that which relates to the humbler heroes.
The Kellys, and more especially old Mrs. Kelly, are
thoroughly Irish, and consequently possess those
powers of attraction which are inseparable from the
warm-hearted, genial, mirth-loving Ilibernian. In
following the fortunes of Lord Ballandine we become
initiated in all the mysteries of " The Curragh," and
acquainted with the peculiarity of the Irish " turf."
Dot Blake, the friend, though by no means the dis-
inter.nted, friend of Lord Ballandine, is an amusing
but s,-)mewhat anomalous character not quite a
swindle: and not quite a gentleman.

FINE ARTS.
fTHE ART JOURNAL.
Under the matured and able 'editorship of Mr. S.
C. Hall, the` Art Journal continues to maintain its
eminent reputation as the principal organ in the
world of art. Before us are now lying the numbers
for August and September. If only for their splendid
embellishments+ they would be valuable. The picture
of " Salvator," i`)y Maclise, is characterised by much
of the genius of that distinguished Academician. It
tells its story in a glance—Rosa in the apartment of
the Jew picture-dealer offering him one of his
youthful productions. " The Fisherman's Wife,"
by Paul Falconer Poole, is among the most
felicitous, if it be not one of the most ambitious of the
works of this eminent artist. Those who are familiar
with his powers, simply through the medium of his
extraordinary painting of the "Plague of London,"
where Defoe 's immortal history is realised upon the
canvass, and the fanaticism of Solomon Engle is for
ever associated with the awful devastation of 1665,
or through his noble prize painting exhibited in West •

of Mr. Ppole, there is scarcely any other in-
springing suddenly into a wide-spread reputation,
like that of the artist we have mentioned. "A'

the writer, " if we

lection of Sir Robert Peel. e Intruder," if for
nothing else than being a specimen of the abilities of
Edwin Landseer at sixteen years. to thesparrow
of age, would be
interesting. From the broken pipe
on the barn-door, from the rat
in th
rat-
trap to the broken cart-wheel,
from
the t
ca
spitting forth the whole venom of her rage, to
u
the dog ready to leap _
upon his antagonist, the picture
is full of nature. The dog alone is wonderfully
clever. J. Roberts has engraved in a very masterly
manner, from
,I, m an original picture by C. L. Eastlake,
ll
he latest Port • rait of Napoleon.' The history of
this portrait is one certain to excite curiosity,
having been roughly sketched from life by East-
lake •
in 1815, in an open boat lying amidst a
swarm of others under the bows of the Belle-
rophon. To our thinking, the portrait is altogether
unworthy of the subject and of the artist, who has
since then acquired celebrity as a Royal Academi-
cian. The features are with one exception scarcely
recognisable, and the chief point of resemblance
seems to be in the costume—the face being more like
that of a fat lubberly boy than of the glorious man
apostrophised by Byron in his renowned couplet—
" 0 Heaven, of which he was in form a feature !
0 Earth, of which he was a noble creature !"
If the Emperor could have guessed what Mr. East-
lake was about in his open boat, we certainly think
that self-respect, not to say vanity, must have driven
him from the deck into his cabin. Still it must be
remembered, in extenuation, as the Art Journal itself
observes, that the artist was "sketching in a boat
surrounded by crowds, and at a considerable distance
from his object." At the least the picture is curious
to look upon, and is beautifully engraved. "Nar-
cissus," from the original statue by Bacon, is,
to our thinking, absolutely hideous. If the statue
be rot hideous itself we would certainly recommend
the sculptor to prosecute the engraver for libel. We
must in justice make particular allusion to the Art-
Union designs for domestic purposes, some of which
are exquisite. Among these—the teaspoons with the
tea-plant twining up the stem, strengthening the
handle with its stalks, and bossing the top with a
cluster of tea-blossoms and leaves—the water-
jug, representing the transformation of Syrinx
into reeds, the bowl of the jug being deco•
rated with bulrushes and lotus-lilies—the beer-
jug adorned with bunches of hops, and a handle
twined about with wheat ears—the back of a hair-
brush, or hand-mirror pourtraying a mermaid " with
a comb of pearl, on a throne of gold, combing her
hair " the taper candlestick, the card case, the ink-
stands, the fire irons, &c. Besides the foregoing,
ed lthe Art Journal contains many other embellishments
- of superior merit.

TURNER'S HEIDELBERG.
An impression of this noble engraving by T. A.
i
Prior, taken from the celebrated picture of " The
Town and Castle of Heidelberg," by J. M. W.
Turner, is lying before us for consideration. When
we have called the fact to recollection that this is one of
the most splendid productions of this wonderful painter
of landscapes, we have pronounced an eulogium more
eloquent than could be written even in the enraptured
language of the Oxford Graduate. The atmospheric
distances, the refractions of air and water, the cirrus,
the rainbow, the half-hidden mountains, the glimmer-
ing roofs of the town, all have been copied by the
graver with an accuracy very little short of the
miraculous. Even 1-1. Boulton, the printer, deserves

mention, for in his subordinate capacity he Ins aided
the skill of Prior and the genius of Turner in the
production of thii masterpiece of art.

ALISON'S HISTORY of EUROPE.
The popular edition of this great standard history
has just been completed by the publication of the
twentieth volume. A better reprint in any essential
particular cannot appe-ar. The Messrs. Blackwood
have issued a work in a manner worthy of themselves
and creditable to this advanced epoch in the art of
typography. And in addition to this, the seventeenth
part of the Atlas, illustrative of the campaigns,
battles, and sieges of the times described by the nar-
rative has appeared with the commencement of Sep-
tember. One would have imagined that having ac-
complished so much, no further enterprise, at least no
further enterprise of a judicious character, was within
the reach of the publishers. That such an impression,
if entertained, would have been singiarly erroneous,
however, is sufficiently shown by the handsome and
substantial volume of some 562 pages, which has just
been published. The book is an " Epitome of
Alison's History of Europe," compi:ed for the use
of schools and young persons. All the facts of
the more voluminous work are enumerated, accumu-
lated, and condensed ; and notwithstanding the com-
pactness into which this bulky composition has been
compressed, the epitome is more remarkable for its
symmetry than for its deformity, some of the most
brilliant passages in the original being preserved un-
t-suched. As a lucid and portable history of the
most wonderful epoch since the rise of Christianity,
the book appears to us to be altogether invaluable;
though at the same time our political opinions and
the records of our judgment are so diametrically the
reverse of those of Mr. Alison, that we could wish
the narrative cleared of many absurd calumnies
long ago disapproved, we mean such preposterous
assertions as those respecting the assassination of
Pichegue and Captain Wright. Apart from these
blemishes of opinion, the volume is of most laudable
excellence.
