MARKETS.---This Day.
___—•-

MARK LAN].

At Mark-lane to-day the quantity of home-grown wheat
offered for disposal, although only moderate, was sufficient
to saisfy the immediate want of millers. The demand
generally was quiet, but Monday's quotations were well
supported.
We were fairly supplied with foreign wheat, the transac-
tions in which were on a limited scale, but at prices quite
equal to those quoted on Monday.
In floating cargoes of grain, sales progressed steadily, at
the late advance in prices. _

Fine malting barley was scarce, and was mostly dis-
posed of at extreme quotations. Grinding and distilling
sorts were in limited request, at late rates.
Malt was firm, on former terms. For oats there was
fair inquiry, and fine qualities changed hands, at the late
advance. Other kinds were unaltered in value.
Beans and peas were firm in price, but the demand for
them was by no means active.
Flour was steady at late rates.

MERCANTILE AND EXCHANGE BANK (LIMITED).
—Yesterday afternoon a meeting of the shareholders of
this bank was held at Liverpool, Mr. Forwood presiding.
The directors reported the present affairs of the bank as
much more favourable than was anticipated a few months
ago, the capital still intact amounting to upwards of
£250,000. A vote of thanks was passed to the directors,
who were empowered to present to a future meeting a list
of persons whose shares had been forfeited under circum-
stances which would justify the directors in dealing with
them in a spirit of conciliation and generosity.
THEFT OF £5OO FROM THE BANK OF ENGLAND.
At the Plymouth Guildhall, on Monday, a respectably
dressed young man, named James Lord, was charged under
a warrant with stealing £5OO, the property of the gover-
nors of the Bank of England, from the West-end branch
of that bank. Henry Dawson, a London detective, iden-
tified the signature of the Marlborough-street magistrate
who granted the warrant, and the prisoner was handed
over to his custody. On the theft becoming known it was
discovered that the prisoner had absconded, and informa-
tion was given to the Plymouth police. Detective Ser-
geant Dawe, of that force, on Saturday found the prisoner
at the'Navy Hotel, Southside-street, Plymouth, and, iden-
tifying him from a carte de visite which had been for-
warded, took him in charge ; .£l5O of the money had been
recovered. The prisoner was intending to sail in some
ship when Dawe apprehended him.

LITERATURE.

Mr. Ainsworth's New Story, in "B utley"

Under the title of "Old Court',' Mr. Harrison
Ainsworth began last month in Bentley's MiscellanY
a new serial storylof nowadays. He continues it in
the November number, with a second instalment•
It opens in rattling style, and is already full of in-
terest. The mere Prologue of the tale is a little
romance of itself. The scene of the narrative is one
with which our gifted and indefatigable romance'
writer is himself personally very familiar indeed•
The opening chapters take us into the midst of
fashionable life at Brighton—carrying us even into
a house situated in one of the finest Terraces at
Kemp Town, where the ladies are arrayed in rairnent
prepared by the hands of Madame Mercier, and
where, in the private concert room, the musician
are under the direction of the experienced. Herr
Kuhe. Does any one want a glimpse of Mr. Alas'
worth's young heroine ?—le voici I

LUCETTA.
Her features corresponded with her figure, and were cif
the highest order of beauty—a lovely oval face, lighted np
by black eyes of Oriental siza and splendour, exquisiteir,
pencilled brows and luxuriant black tresses, taken bac'
from a forehead smooth and white as Parian marble. Set,
,
features were of a pule classical mould, with a beautiful
mouth and proudly cut chin ; and when her rosy lips ar(3
parted by a smile—and what an enchanting smile it was
two rows of pearls might be discovered. This charrail
creature was in the springtido of her beauty, for she coil'
not bo more than eighteen, even if she had attained that

age.
Here, by the way, as a companion picture to the
above, is a shadowing forth of the young gentleman
evidently intended by Mr. Ainsworth, or we are verb'
mistaken, to be the hero, and as such, of course'
eventually the heroine's husband (though as yet they
have never met) —how shall we term him ? I

OSBERT LEIGH—OR—CLARENCE CHETWYND.
The individual on whom he (Sir Hugh) gazed was abonu
one-and-twenty, perhaps not quite so much, tall,

was not, however, his good looks that attracted Sir 11411,1
attention, but a remarkable resemblance to his ill-fats

as related to the person and office of the Vicar of e"
Christ. It was then objected. that this was to
the question from the tangible region of fact and -11 t
to the impalpable region of faith. Without repeating 'll:if
I have so often said before, I have here confined to
to the same field of argument, on which all legitilia
powers repose. If the British Empire can be justie, of
its sway over the three kingdoms, and its dependencie-fg
