MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS

(From The Sun of Last Night.,
The Cotton market at Liverpool yesterday was firm,
the sales being 7,000 bales, of which 4,000 were on
speculation. Shares were dull again.
There are no ship arrivals to day with late intelli-
gence of any interest.
We are advised in accounts from Odessa of the 18th
ultimo that 150 vessels had arrived in port there within
a day or two, chiefly Greek and Italian. '1 hese were to
receive on board from 850,000 to 400,000 quarters of
wheat for Italy and the south of France, and after that
large quantity bad been shipped, there would still re-
main at Odessa about 150,000 quarters available for ex-
portation from last year's harvest. The produce of this
year's crop was not expected to arrive at Odessa until
about the middle of the present month. According to
report the crop would be sufficiently abundant to allow
of large further exports.
There has been a disposition again this morning, in
the English Stock Market, to effect sales, and the con
sequence is a further slight depression in prices. Con-
sols realise 94.,1 for present transfer, and 94 to 95 for
Account. Exchequer-bills are 13s. to 16s. premium.
Bank Stock is marked 205 to 2061. The New Three-
and-a-Quarter per Cents, are 93i 4 ; and the Three per
Cents. 931 East India Stock is worth 2571 to 259.
There is quite a pause in the Foreign market. Spanish
Three per Cents. are 33, and Mexican are nominally
about 22i to 23. Dutch Two-and-a-Half per Cents.
have been 584 to 50.
For Shares there has been a steady market generally.
East India Scrip has been flatter, but not lower. It is
not known that there has yet been any decision come to
upon the subject of the facilities which the East India
Company will give to railways. The business done has
been to a moderate extent.

VIENNA, OCT. 4.—The accounts received here yes-
terday from Ofen, respecting the health of his Imperial
Highness the Archduke Odlatine were satisfactory, and
authorise the hope that the patient will shortly recover.
A great sensation is caused here by a sentence which
has been published against an officer of high rank, (G.
S * * *), for embezzling a private deposit entrusted to
him, which is, to be broken with disgrace. He had ap-
pealed against the sentence, but all the higher courts
confirmed the first sentence.

FRONTIERS OF GALICIA.—Mr. Von Meciszewski, tho
well-known propagator and inventor of the groundless,
or entirely misrepresented article, which the Breslau
journals have given to the world, respecting the affairs
of Galicia, has been arrested at Cracow, and called to
the bar of justice, in the very fact of distributing sedi-
tious writings.
PESTH, OCT. 12.—According to the Pesth Gazette,
the long-projected work for connecting the course of the
Theiss are now commenced in good earnest at Cson-
grad ; 30,000 workmen are already employed. It is
likewise proposed to drain the marshes of Aliburnar
and Illamse, by means of a canal into the Karas, near
Lagerdorf. By the execution of this plan, 60,000 acres
of the most fertile land will be gained, capable of pro-
ducing annually 40,000 bushels of wheat.
VIENNA, OCT. 12.—We learn from Klansenburg, that
a spirit of moderation and calmness prevails in the
Diet, and that even a great portion of what are called
the young members, are gradually laying aside their
turbulent character which was formerly so intolerable,
and beginning to assume a gloomy appearance. The
Estates have been hitherto engaged with the first royal
proposition, viz., the election of persons to fill the higher
offices which have become vacant, and though several
candidates of the opposition have been chosen, yet by,
far the greater part of the persons elected consist of mo-
derate and Conservative principles. In a representation
to the Sovereign, on the election of the High Chan-
cellor, the Estates express their humble wish that his
Majesty may have regard in the nomination to the ma-
jority of votes, and also to the creed of candidate, that
the chief offices may not be filled, contrary to the laws
of the kingdom, with members of the same confession of
faith (Count Teleki, the Governor of Transylvania, and
Baron Keinem, the President of the Diet, are both
Protestants), and that a Diet may be annually held
in Transylvania, according to the spirit of the law. It
is understood that the Diet will adjourn for some weeks,
during the vintage, and when it meets again
will immediately proceed to the Urbarium.
OCTOBER 19.—A petition is in circulation at Mons,
requesting the magistrates of the city to adopt measures
for lowering the price of meat, and points out two plans
as likely to bring about the result. The first is to give
permission to butchers to have stalls in the vegetable
market as formerly; the second is, to prohibit them from
buying up the provision of other butchers as they enter
the town, as in the case with other articles of food.

We are happy to see that, conjointly with the dear-
ness of provisions, the temperature still continues so
mild as to permit the labours in the open fields to be
carried on. The labourer profits by it and economises,
for he foresees and fears the continuation of the present
high prices of provisions; he does not yet require fire,
and this circumstance has a favourable influence upon
the price of this indispensable article of commerce. If
Providence preserves us from a very rigorous winter,
there is hope that we may be spared the realisation of
those melancholy prospects which now agitate many
minds.

Sting is reported to have had a favourable trial on Wed-

large sum at odds, fluctuating between 16 and 13 to 1 ; the

NORTII BRITISII.—We are triad to learn that the
damages done by the recent floods to the North British
Railway at Linton-bridge have now been so far repaired
as to render the line at this point passable by the trains.
By great exertions on the part of the contractors, Messrs.
Ross and Mitchell, the works have just been completed,
and we are assured that the erections, though only tem-
porary, are of the moat substantial description, and that
tour trains with materials of the heaviest kind passed
safely over on Friday. The mails from London are still
late in the arrival—say about two hours in general—in
consequence of the injury to the North British Railway.
Yesterday forenoon, however, the mail train which
should arrive here at nine in the morning did not reach
town till twenty minutes past one in the afternoon. This
delay was said to be caused by the locomotive getting
off the rails somewhere on the road.—Caledonian
Mercury/.

COURT OF COMMON COUNCIL.
Yesterday a Court was held for the dispatch of a great
deal of public business.
Upon the motion of Deputy CORNEY, the question at
issue between the Court of Aldermen and the Court of
Common Council, upon the subject of the payment of the
expenses incurred by the Lord Mayor, in the survey of
the western district of the river Thames, was, without
discussion, referred to a committee of five members, with
instructions to open a communication with the Court of
Aldermen, with a view to an amicable adjustment of the
existing differences between the two Courts, and to re-
port the result.

The proposition, which was seconded by Mr. JUPP,
who apprehended very disagreeable consequences from
a rupture, was received with high satisfaction by a very
crowded Court.

THE SUN, LONDON, FRIDAY MORNING, OCTOBER 23, 1846.

TRINIDAD GREAT EASTERN AND
WESTERN RAILWAY.
A meeting of the shareholders in this undertaking was
called, for one o'clock yesterday, at the King's Head,
Poultry, to consider the best means to be adopted to
compel the directors to fulfil their promise, to return the
deposits. It was stated that important information
would be laid before the meeting, the advertisement for
which was signed by Mr. Staffiard, solicitor, Bucking-
ham-street. At the appointed hour but a small number
of persons were present.
Mr. STAFFORD explained that he attached his lame
to the advertisement calling the meeting at the reTuest
of a committee of shareholders, which was appointed at
a meeting of the shareholders on the 10th of September
last at the Hall of Commerce, for the purpose of inquir-
ing into the original concoction of the company. At
that meeting hopes were held out to the shareholders,
that their deposits would be returned, but up to the pre-
sent moment so desirable a communication had not taken
place. The committee so appointed found that the
scheme was duly registered on the 19th of September,
1845, the ostensible promoters being Horatio Utting,
described of Chester-street, Belgrave-square, and
John Evans, of No. 6, Queen-street, Golden -
square. A prospectus was got up, and issued, but
it did not meet with the success which its origina-
tors seemed to have anticipated, and on the 10th
of February an advertisement appeared in the news-
paper, offering to return the whole of the deposits (ss.
a share having been paid on the shares taken up?, and
offering the option of transferring the shares to another
company then in the course of projection. This gave a
great stimulus to the shares, as those who held them
were anxious to get their me ney back again ; they
continued to hold them. On the 11 th of May
another advertisement appeared, signed by four gentle-
men, declaring that from that time they ceased to
be in any way connected with the company. On the
15th of the same month another advertisement appeared,
in which the directors informed the shareholders that
they were waiting for the arrival of the managing
director from Trinidad, and that on his arrival the
promise, with respect to the return of the deposits,
would be carried out in a few days. Afterwards an adver-
tisement appeared, signed, Giles Hall, Chairman, which
stated that the advertisement referred to was inserted
without the knowledge or consent of the directors. It
appeared that a Mr. Garrard was concerned with Mr.
Utting in getting up the proposed undertaking, anchhat
it originated in a meeting which was held in the
Queen's Bench prison: there it was concocted, and
through the recommendation of another party a Mr.
Lewis was named as solicitor to the undertaking, and it
seethed they then advertised for a secretary, and ap-
pointed a Mr. Bristow to that important post, the con-
dition being that he should ledge 2001. in their hands,
which he did. They afterwards found it convenient to
borrow a further 1001 from him, which was applied to
the expenses incidental to the projection of the railway.
It seemed from information which had been acquired
that there was great reason to believe that a vast num •
ber of shares were not issued in the ordinary course of
allotment upon the appointment of parties, but, finding
there was not a large demand, they adopted the ruse of
inserting an advertisement offering to return the deposits
for the purpose of making the shares marketable with the
public, and they had it from good authority that their
secretary was required to prepare a certain number of
shares. The scrip was then taken by a clerk to some
parties whose names he (Mr. Stafford) was in possession
of, but which he would not venture to mention, who
were at that time confined in the Queen's Bench, and
whose names appeared as directors of this undertaking;
and it was in that situation that they appended their
names to this portion of the scrip. The shares were
then brought into the market, and on the faith of the ad-
vertisements respecting the deposits they fetched a con-
siderable sum. The period had gone by when the
operations of the company could be renewed with any
probability of success, because they had not renewed
the registration within 12 months. Latterly the parties
at the offices of the company had shown some sign
of animation, aid had promised that the scheme should
be again registered, but all they 'were doing was quite
illegal. Even so recently as the 17th of September an
advertisement appeared, stating that the surveys and
estimates had not been received from Trinidad, and that
" further particulars" would be announced in a few days,
but none had yet appeared. It appeared doubtful whe-
ther criminal, instead of civil proceedings, ought not to
be taken against the parties ; but as it was a delicate
subject he would not further allude to it. The commit-
tee had a large number of shares, and were naturally
anxious to get back their money, or to obtain that re-
dress which the laws of the country might afford them.
He did not think, however, that the directors would give
the shareholders any satisfaction. They had got their
scheme inserted in the new Stock Exchange List, and
their shares quoted at a price at which those who had paid
ss. per share would perhaps like to buy them—namely,
ninepence. The object of the meeting simply was to
enable the shareholders to unite and form a committee
to prosecute their rights, and he could not do better than
suggest that they should appoint a chairman, in order
to give effect to any proposition which might be en-
trusted to them.
Dr. BARRY was then called to the chair. He said it
would be necessary to raise a subscription for the pur-
pose of taking such steps as their solicitor might advise
for the purpose of compelling the parties to return the
deposits.

i to guard the public and the private interests, as far as
was practicable on a scale of extensive change.—(llear,
hear.) It might be expected that there would be consi-
derable difference of opinion as to the place at which
the improvement was to begin. It was not to be for-
gotten that in the great continental cities the widest ap-
proaches were uniformly made in the immediate neigh-
bourhood of the great markets. Now,
.let any one look
to Leadeuhall market, with its vast trade, and say
whether it was not necessary to establish increased faci-
lities for the transit to the wt,st-end. The traffic from
the docks, immense as it was, re quired a capacious out-
let ; and there were other causes operating to show that
the selection of the spot recommended for the beginning
of the alterations, by effecting a relief to all the crowd( d
streets from Tower-hill to St. Paul's churchyard, was the
most advisable. lie was led to believe that the Govern-
ment, upon seeing the Corporation proceeding in such
a spirit, would go on with the projected improvements in
the neighbourhood of the Tower.—(Hear, hear.) The
Committee knew that tl,e improvement would
require several years for its completion, and that
the sum of money would be considerable ; but
they at present were for confining the operations from
Cannon-street to Queen -street, and from Queen-street
from St. Thomas Apostle to Thames-street. The ex-
pense of the whole line was estimated by the clerk of the
works at 530,0001., but that part of the line which he
had pointed out as the limit of their immediate opera-
tions would cost (as our reporter understood Air. Jones's
rapid speech), about 240,0001. or 250,0001. Mr. Jones
concluded by stating, that as the works proceeded he
entertained not the least doubt as to the practicability of
applying to another source of revenue.—(Cheers.)
The report, of which the following are the material
portions, was then read :

" We have proceeded, from time to time, in the consi-
deration of such improvements, to be recommended to be
efected within this city generally, as appeared to us ex-
pedient, and, after due deliberation, are of opinion, that
the most desirable line to be carried out in the first in-
stance, will be that commencing from Cannon-street
(King William-street), to the south side of St. Paul's-
churchyard, including the proposed widening of
Queen-street from the south side of St. Thomas Apostle
to Upper Thames-street, as affording immediate relief to
the present crowded state of the metropolis, and the ex-
pense of which is estimated by the clerk of the works
at 530,000/., after deducting the value of the building
frontages ; and we submit the same to this Honourable
Court accordingly, and that we may be authorised to
take the proper steps fur an application to Parliament
in the ensuing session, for carrying as much of the said
line into execution as may be d.amed most expedient ;
and for their further information, we have annexed
hereto a report from Mr. Scott, principal clerk of the
Chamberlain, showing the amount which can ho raised
upon the credit of the before-mentioned sum of 20,0001.
per annum, to be discharged either in 20 or 30 years.
" We further certify that we have various other lines
of improvement under consideration, but are not at pre-
sent prepared to report thereon.
" We beg further to certify, that in consequence of the
standing orders of Government with respect to private
Bills having been materially altered, it is requisite that
any plans for improvements in London should be agreed
upon as soon as convenient, and that the lists of the
owners and occupiers of the property required to be
taken should be prepared by the end of the present
month at the latest.

" R. L. Jones, W. Lawrence, John King, John Dixon,
B. Bower, J. C. Prior, W. A. Peacock, H. Burn,
J. Low E. Harrison, E. Hickson, J. Hartley, R.
Taylor, H. L. Taylor, G. Aitchison, J. G. Cope."
Mr. ANDERTON said it would occasion a great dimi-
nution of expense, as well as great addition of con-
venience, if the Court would go to Parliament for large
sums in cases of public improvement. In Liverpool and
other extensive places of business, it was the practice
never to go to Parliament except for a sum of money
embracing all the contingent expenses. It was but
reasonabl, too, to expect that the exact line should be
scheduled.

Mr. IL L. JONES said that in Liverpool, and in other
places referred to, the ground was open, very unlike that
in the heart of the City of London. The Committee
had, upon the subject of scheduling the various proper-
ties within the line, considered the injury which might
result in unhinging the minds of people.
Mr. NORRIS was by no means satisfied with the re-
port, which did not contain the full information which
the Court had a right to expect. He apprehended that
the plan would, after costing pobably upwards of a mil-
lion, be nothing more than a deformity after all. The line
would be broken, and churches and church-yards would
be interfered with, and the portion proposed to be at
once carried out would be quite useless and absurd. It
was rather too bad that the Committee should have been
two years occupied in coming to a conclusion, and then
demand that in two minutes the Court should agree
in their views.—(Hear, hear.) He wished to have the
constituency informed of the true nature of the proposed
alterations, and for that purpose he should propose en
amendment, t >the effect that all the houses to be affected
in each street in the line should be particularised, &c.
Mr. HooLE seconded the amendment.
Mr. ASIIIJRST, and several others of the Committee,
strongly advccated the whole of the recommendations in
the report.
Mr. DE SEY said the pith of the argument in
favour of the report was the want of time. It was
said that if application was not made at the present
moment there must be a postponement for a year. That
was a fallacy. After a long deliberation, the Council
at that late hour for the first time submitted their views
in a matter involving an expenditure of 300,0001., and
asked for the hurried assent of the Court.—(llear, hear.)
The improvement proposed would certainly be a great
one, but there were others equally so. He supported
the amendment.

A committee, consisting of the Chairman, Messrs.
Murchison, Brough, Levy, and Coates, was then ap-
pointed, to take such steps as they might think proper
to carry out the wishes of the shareholders.
A resolution calling upon the shareholders to contri-
bute towards the expenses was also passed aft6r some
discussion, and the meeting separated.

Mr. R. L. JONES said the Committee were unavoidably
delayed till the present moment by the extent of the
iabour which the slerk of the works had had to perform
in making estimates.
Mr. PRENDERGAST said that like other members he
had had no opportunity of seeing, or being informed, of
the merits of the plan recommend. He had great con-
fidence in the Committee, but they had shown no confi-
dence in the Court. They offered at that late period
Ilobson's choice, that particular scheme or nothing; for
if it were refected, there was no time fur going to Par-
liantent. He urged that the report should be sent back
to
After

plied, and the amendment was lost.
The report was then agreed to, and the Parliamentary
notices were ordered to be given accordingly.. L . JONES re -
The Court adjourned at a late hour.

LITERATURE.
THE EDINBURGH REVIEW. M. CLXX.
So singularly and inexplicably antiquated is• the
opening article in this number—" Proposals for Ex-
tending the Irish Poor-law "—that any examination
of its character at this moment would be entirely
superfluous. The pressing necessities of Ireland, the
destitute, and in many particulars the insubordinate,
condition of its inhabitants, the famine with which
they are not merely threatened, but from the effects
ofwhich they are at present perishing, render any frigid
consideration of the insufficiency of past measures
for the diminution of pauperism in the sister eountry,
little less than an intended cruelty. This is not the
time to examine the merits of different schemes for
the organisation of society in Ireland—it is the time
to act in behalf of a starving population—it is the
time to adjure the Executive to be bountiful in their
efforts to alleviate the sorrows of a helpless and pa-
tient peasantry—to call upcm the resident and ab-
sentee landlords of that island to strive heart and
soul for the salvation of the very lives of their de-
pendants—to implore with the earnestness of sympa-
thising men for work fur the unemployed, for bread
for the hunger-stricken. We cannot, indeed, but
think that this contribution to the .Edinburgh Review
is the most misplaced, as it is very possibly one of the
best-intentioned, within our recollection. Ireland is
at this juncture, from Malin Head to Cape Clear, and
from Broad Haven to Carnsore Point, one spectacle
of desolation and wretchedness :--Its potato-grounds
soddened with decomposition ; its streets filled with
bands of emaciated labourers; its provision-ware-
houses threatened with destruction; meal-bags torn
open on the highroads ; peaceable men pistoled 'on
their hearths, or bludgeoned in their gardens ! That
is the present condition of that doomed country, and,
such being the case, anything like a deliberate ana-
lysis of the cause of failure in the modes of internal
government, hitherto adopted for the amelioration ofitt
distresses, would be both inappropriate and ungene-
rous. For this reason we discard the article in ques-
tion without any further observation. Very dif-
ferent in all respects is the paper entitled " State and
Prospects of British Agriculture." The writer might,
however, more accurately have designated it the State
and Prospects of Scottish Agriculture, seeing that the
condition of the Lothians is the prominent object of
his consideration. This article is most practical,
most interesting, most encouraging. It is, in effect,
the ' journal of an observant agriculturist during a
pilgrimage through the northern provinces of
this island. Before his journey is commenced,
however, he asks, and answers, three questions, of
the highest importance. First. " What has British
agriculture done ?" He maintains that its progres-
sive improvement during the last fifty years has im-
measurably outstripped that of all other countries,
whether American or European ; and that, notwith-
standing the increase of population, the average im-
portation of foreign corn up to the appearance of the
potato murrain was very little more than it was
twenty years since. Secondly, " What is it at present
doing ?" . In responding to this inquiry, the reviewer
is very naturally more detailed, and (if we may say
so) more discursive. In order to satisfy his own
mind upon this particular, he has recently made an
elaborate tour of the island, and for the purpose of
satisfying the minds of his readers, he specifies the
result of his investigation. We recommend every
one to examine this portion of the'Edinburgh Review.
It presents a panorama worthy of the
most laborious study. It carries us in ima-
gination from the bleak acclivities and
green bottoms of Caithness (where the spirit of agri-
cultural improvement has worked such miracles, that
last year a long lease of a farm at 1341. having just
expire 1, it has been since renewed at 8001. a year !)
to the red gravelly soil of Sutherland.. It takes us to
a valley in Ross, where more than five quarters of
wheat and seven quarters of oats, per imperial acre,
are produced. It tells us how the writer encountered
cartloads of guano travelling across Strath Glass, and
how, in a village school in that wild district, he lis-
tened to a class of barefooted urchins creditably ex-
amined in agricultural chemistry ! It would be un-
just, however, to deteriorate from the interest of the
original narrative by extracting its skeleton. The
paper does the Reviewer infinite credit, both for the
perspicuity with which he has grouped so much
information together, and the labour that must
have been expended in its collection. It is
impossible after examining the veritable position
of our agriculturists, as the writer has done, after
having recognised the manner in which they avail
themselves of all the assistances of science, whether
chemical or mechanical, whether in artificial manures
or novel implements of husbandry ; it is impossible
after observing their almost universal enterprise and,
the success which invariably attends that enterprise, not
to feel a most implicit confidence in the resources of
British agriculture. We might well exclaim with
this Edinburgh reviewer, " we feel a species of indi-
vidual gratitude towards those who reclaim the bleak
moss and the wild moor—who plant their feet firmly
on the quaking bog—who give us the green hill-side,
in place of the purple heath, and, for the moorfowls'
cry, introduce the bleating of sheep f' for all
these things have our farmers repeatedly accomplished
with the assistance of subsoil-ploughs, of liquid
manures, of lime, of drainage by tiles, and a hundred
other ingenious contrivances. Of the importance of
a good system of drainage the reviewer is so
thoroughly convinced, that he declares himself satis-
fied that, within a single year of its adoption,
supposing, of course, an average season, "five
millions of quarters of grain more than
the population has been in the habit of
consuming would be raised !" To our thinking
this estimate is somewhat exaggerated, but subtract-
ing one-half from the surplus crop there calculated,
England would, even then, become an exporting
country, after having satisfied her home consumers.
Thirdly, then, inquires the writer—" Of what further
progress is agriculture capable ?" That he conceives
k tebe capable of yet greater improvement, and that
to an extraordinary extent, will be obvious when we
quote his observation, " that the produce of the whole
island in corn may be doubled, by methods now
known, and in some districts profitably practised."
But the following passages will demonstrate yet
more clearly the opportunities for agricultural im-
provement, which he believes to exist in England,
notwithstanding all that has been hitherto accom-
plished.
" In Northumberland, if we cross the country from
Wooler to Morpeth, what an extent of improvable moor
asks to be reclaimed—of poor grass to be nourished—of
stiff clay to be subdued ! What sorrowful tales the crops
tell as we approach Newcastle ! how spiritless and de-
pressed does all the land look which accompanies the
railway from Newcastle to York ! Is it the alleged over-
shadowing influence of clerical supremacy, or the sup-
posed readier road to wealth through its mines of coal,
that has rendered Durham an opprobium to English
agriculture ? The latter influence is unknown, the
former only in a less degree, in Yorkshire ; and yet the
water stagnates and sours in her flats and marshes, and
her moors are untouched by the drain and the subsoil
plough, and can scarely tell from experience how they
should look under the influence of lime and abundant
manure. The natives calumniate the soil ; yet how
strongly does the return it makes for any unusual labour
and skill speak for its willing capabilities; if the cultiva-
tor faithfully performed his part.
" Lincoln has much merit ; but she has more still to
do. Her stock-feeding will be improved—her manuring
will be cheapened and bettered—the drain will yet tra-
verse the country where its use has hitherto been un-
thought of ; and both in Lincoln and in Norfolk a
deeper ploughing will hereafter, we think, be beneficially
introduced.

" In Northampton, Gloucester, and Somerset, the lias
clays are all, with isolated exceptions, still to drain ;
the same is true of th• Oxford clays of Oxford, Berks,
and other counties ; and of the Weald clays of Sussex
and Kent. We might speak of the much-neglected hus-
bandry of Lancashire—of the comparative infancy still
of boneing in Cheshire—of the gaulting yet to be pro-
fitably performed in Huntingdon and lower Lincoln—of
the shallow draining of Essex, which does not admit of
the use of the subsoil plough—of the limited extension
of the turnip culture in Sussex—of the shallow plough-
ing so justly praised and practised in the moorlands of
Berkshire and Gloucester—of the undeveloped and as
yet little understood capabilities of the chalk soil of
Surrey and other southern counties ; and of the youth-
ful state of rural industry in the Devonian and Cornish
peninsula."

To•those who are impressed with mournful antici-
pations in regard to the possibilities of our native
agriculture, we commend this admirable article, con-
fident that it will prove a most salutary corrective. It
will testify, that the lovers of free trade are filled with
hopefulness, as much for the futurity of British agri-
culture as for that of British naanufactures ; and that the
wonderful eminence already acquired by the latter is,
in the estimation of those despised political economists
eclipsed,,if that be possible, by the former. " The Go-
vernment of British India" is a paper addressed parti•-
cularly to our neighbours across the Channel, with the
intention of disabusing them of their many erroneous
impressions with regard to our dominions in Asia,
and especially of those promulgated by recent work
of the Chevalier de Warren. The paper is sensible
and independent. " Railways at Home and Abroad,"
is a contribution that was much wanted ; it accumu-
lates together a vast bulk of information previously
scattered in all sorts of directions, and presents a
clear bird's•eye view of that gigantic system which
promises to transform the whole character of society.
" Lives of Eminent Lawyers," is a review of two
biographical works, by W. N. 'Wesley, and W. C.
Townshend, already so familiar to the reading public.
" Grote's History of Greece," or at least the pre-
liminary portion of that history, has elicited from the

Edinburgh an article which will be devoured
with avidity by every classical student, par-
ticularly the passages in which the Re-
viewer maintains the individuality of Homer,
and not only his individuality, but the uniqueness of
the Iliad. The arguments of Mr. Grote to prove
that the original of that stupendous epic was an
Achilleis and not an Iliad are hero triumphantly re-
futed, and his extraordinary depreciation of the ninth
book indignantly contemned. With a tribute to the

memory of the late Lord Ring, in a retrospective
criticism of his speeches and writings, the Edin-
burgh Review h composed of six papers of eminent
ability and one of most venerable antiquity.

BRADSH_4W'S RAILWAY GUIDE.
This useful little manual is greatly improved by
the substitution of a new railway and steam travel-
ling map, for the confused and intricate affair which
has hitherto been attached to it, and which, however,
useful it might have been to the railway speculator,
was worse than useless to the railway traveller. Li
the new map all the projected and abortive schemes
are left out, so that a traveller, on referring to it, will
at a glance understand how far he will be enabled to
travel by railway. Numerical references are also
given to each railway, so that the difficulty of not
having any means of distinguishing particular lines
will be completely obviated. We understand, it is
the intention of the proprietors to correct the map
monthly, adding or extending any line as opened for.
traffic.
