TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.

SlR,—The spirited conduct of Captain Moir,
commander of the West India royal mail steam
packet Trent, fully deserves, and I hope will re-
ceive, a fitting recognition, not only from Govern-
ment, but also from the public and from his own
company,
The present occasion is not the first on which he
has been under hostile fire in the service of his
country.
When chief officer of the Orinoco, steam trans-
port, and serving with the English fleet in the
action before Sebastopol, that vessel had to tow the
Albion and other disablod men•of--war out of the
thickest of the fight.

Capt. Aloir's humanity is equal to his gallantry.

AbDut 13 years since he, at great personal risk,
rescued from impending destruction the captain,
passengers, and crew of a Dutch East Indianian,
and was presented by the King of Holland with a
large gold medal in acknowledgment of his ser-
vices.

Of his prudence he has just giving a striking
example, additions to which could be readily
quoted.

A thorough gentleman, of most scrupulous
honour, a sincere friend, a skilful and most cour-
teous commander, and possessing talents which
would have done credit to her Majesty's service,
Captain Moir exhibits all those high qualities
Which are usually combined in the
ENGLISH NAVAL OFFICER.

" Captain Cluaterbeek's Charapagae' is centinued
and this West Indian reminiscence is well worthy
of consideration. It now approaches a climax, and
in the next number we may hope to hear of the
triumphant success of the bold stratagem that the
intrepid Arthur Burne proposes. An amusing in-
cident is that of the true son of Erin, Pat Shane's
indignation at being asked to substitute a sham for
a real quarrel. The object being simply to detain
the expected bridegroom while the bride effected
her escape, Mr. Knox suggested to Pat not to em-
broil himself uselessly, but to make it up again soot),
this did not suit the notions of Pat, the blood of the
Shanes was roused at the idea, and he indignantly
exclaimed—" Fun on proper subjects I can under-
stand, if its cardin a proctor, or boultin a turnpike, •
or takin a funky rider over some damnable
raspers, or any other harmless diversion I've not
the least objection. But to be thriflia with matters
of honor, Is't a Shane yore asking Bathershin
" Chronicles of Carlingford" are continued and there
is not so much of note occurring at this juncture of
the tale. Susan is a finished representation of a sel-
fish woman, who cares for nobody, and thinks for
nothing else than her own person and comforts.
" Nettie" provokes one by her subserviency to her
despicable relation. No one is called upon to be a
slave to the vices of others, and it is only encourag-
ing wrong and holding out a premium to the
meanest of human errors to act as she did. A
little wholesome contradiction and a right indica-
tion of her own independence would have been of
essential service to the idle, useless woman who
lounged on a sofa all day, and allowed her sister
to toil and slave for her and her children. One
feels a sympathy for Dr. Reider's indignation at her
supineness, which increased the ills tenfold. This
month's number is rich in fiction. We have a
" Christmas Story" called " Wassail," which pro-
mises to be of great interest. The beginning is
stormy, but we may expect in the next por-
tion that the wandering daughter and the pro-
digal son will return to the sheltering folds
of home, and that at the appropriate season
of Christmas there will be peace and good-
will in the homestead of the farm and the quiet
vicarege of St. Maddock. The sketch of the village
inn is very well done, and gives an apt representa-
tion of life in that sphere, There is an admirable
article called "A Word from a New Dictionary"—
Flunkeyism. It contains some very forcible remarks,
and brings common sense to bear on the absurd pre-
tensions and vulgar boastings that distinguish a
certain class of the community. It refers to a selec-
tion of phrases which are supposed to express the
characteristic elements of English social life in the
nineteenth century—as for example, " flunkeyism,"
" beadiedom," " lordolatry," " mumbo-jumbo,"
" phantasms," &c. It is said that " the best evidence
in favour of social distinctions is of the strict legal
kind, adverse possession ; they have held their
ground identical in the main from such time
as 'the memory of man runneth not to
the contrary.' If these new teachers of
ours were genuine philosophers, they would know
that "shams" do not last so long. There is much
truth, mixed with amusing satire, in the following
epigrammatic passages relative to the subject of
boasting. "It' my friend Thompson boasts to rue
that he dined with the Duke last week, or obtrudes
that fact upon my notice (who did not dine there) in
any disagreeable manner, I set him down in my own
mind as a man of very bad taste, inferior breeding,
and probably weak understanding. But, on the
other hand, if he is always labouring to impress upon
me that he does not want to dine with the Duke,---
that he considers Brown, who dines there once a
a fortnight, a toady and a snob for so doing,—that
lie never did and never would dine with a duke
unless it had been the Duke of Wellington, and
then only as a compliment to an illustrious soldier
in that uefortunate position, why, in that ease, I
come to much the same conclusion still as to his
his taste, and if I give him credit for a trifle more
brains, it is at the expense of another valuable
quality—his veracity." In conclusion, there is
another smart hit at the absurdity put forward in
the "SnobPapers"on literary celebrities not receiving
due honour. The writer complains that authors
and editors are not in such intimate communication
with dukes as may be desired, and, with bitter
irony, the anathematiser exclaims, " two of them
have actually been invited to Court during the pre-
sent reign, and probably toward the close of the
season one or two will be asked to dinner by the
Premier of the day." Now, it is forcibly questioned
what is a bewildered reader to think at such a re-
mark in pages which show up the tinsel of cant
etiquette, and declare aristocratic dinner parties as
degrading to the very soul of man. Has Diogenes
taken to his tub because he was not asked to A lexan-
der's feast ? " Such acomplaint does dishonour to the
true claims of intellect. There is a divinity that cloth
hedge a king, and it is right for us all to acknow-
ledge it. But genius is untrue to itself if it vans
its divine right before any king that reigns. The
poet or the philosopher has an empire wider than
Caesar's. He has his court, his audience chamber,
his subjects whom he sways with a word. He
is himself a king of men, his rank and precedence
is not within the cognisance of stars and ribbons.
Consign Genius to the " second table." Its seat is
among the gods—" beside their nectar, careless of
mankind." This article contains sterling sense, and
is appropriate at a time when so much folly is
written on the subject. It is refreshing to meet
with so complete an exposd of the errors of the'
system, and the mistakes in the code of the levelling
sneerers, who first abuse the state of things, anO
then complain that all are not admitted to the
enjoyment of what they have just denounced eg
folly. "Augustus Welby Pugin" is the subject of
a paper that is interesting, and deserves to be
noticed with respect, as calling attention to a man
who in his day did great things in his line, and is
now passed away to that night where no man can
work. The sketch here given of his fitful
course is very attractive, and the reader
looks on it as one regards any career
that in eagerness and enthusiasm is hurrying
along, and in doubt and darkness reaches a sad
and sudden termination. This well-written and
impressive paper concludes in the following elo-
quent passage : —" More pathetic words were never
spokeu by any soldier falling on the field. He
falters his ' Pax Omnibus' as he falls, defeated and
yet victorious, escaping out of all the unthought of
pains which his primitive rude kni.a-ht errantry
was unprepared to meet. "Whether his brain gave
way under natural pressure, or whether lie was
driven mad into Bedlam and the grave by agencies
more occult than toil and excitement, will
pro-bably never be known • and whether
known or not, is deeply indifferent to the
dead soldier. He has his grave in flint-
built St. Augustine's, within sound of the
stormy Channel which he loved almost as well, no
longer able to interpose his desperate humeri
exertion between perishing sailors on those angry
straits, and the wide grave that gapes for them,
no longer able to feel the serpent's tooth, the pang
of desertion, and somebody has offered unlimited
money to complete what remains of the Pugin
Chauntry. It is a fit conclusion to the sad strange
story. Those who build the sepulchres of the
prophets whom their fathers have slain, ma)"
afford a little tabernacle-work and dainty " de-
tail," after his own forlorn heart could be
but know it, to this rude but loyal Inc'
diasval vassal who gave heart and genius,
life and fortune, to the service of his
church and his art." One seldom meets in maga-
zine with such a classic and elegant sketch as this
excellent article. There are two Papers on America
which afford information, but of course the relative
advantages of the North and South are now ab-
sorbed in the question of the day, as regards Eng-
land and America. There is an able criticism on
" Fechter in Hamlet and Othello." It concludes
with the following emphatic warning. "So ac-
complished an actor, with so charming a physique,
will be a great gain to our stage, if a
misguided ambition, similar to that which makes
all baritones try to be tenors, does not lead
him into such mistakes as this of Othello. Let hint
be assured of one thing, that the success of his
Othello is due entirely to the reputation created by
his Hamlet, and the scenery, dresses, and novelty
of the" business" which excite a temporary curiosity.
If he suffer panegyrists and flatterers to delude hits
into the idea that his acting of Othello moved the
andience or satisfied the judgment of those whose
judgment finally determines an actor's reputation,
he will rapidly lose the high position he has wen.
'This is the language of a sincere admirer."

Fraser.
The third and concluding portion of Mr. Mill's
valuable essay on Utilitarianism opens the current
number of Fraser. The accomplished logician has
thoroughly discussed this subject in all its varying
aspects, and has carefully examined the arguments
of opposing theorists. The essay is written in his
usual clear and forcible style, searching and candid
in its character. However much we may differ
from him in theory, it is impossible not to feel that
utilitarianism has secured a very able and powerful
advocate. "The Duties of England to India," a
question which, since the tragedy of 1857, has occu-
pied the minds of many thoughtful and conscien-
tious men, are discussed by one who is evidently
familiar with his subject. Ile strongly recommends
the encouragement of native education, especially
among the females and the country people, and
laments the haughty, and insulting manner too
often adopted by Europeans. The interesting
but melancholy story of " Good for Nothing, or
All Down Hill," comes to an end this month. It
is a mournful record of a noble nature wrecked

but there is snow that is white, and who can tell?"
The story concludes, on the whole, in a satisfactory
manner, and is a smart sketch in some ways of the
prevailing foibles and glaring errors of the present
'jay. " The Mystery at Fernwood" is concluded,
and is a readable romance of the sombre class,
which will delight lovers of ghosts and visions of
haunted rooms and midnight spectres and appari-
tions. " Daughters of Eve" presents us this time
with a French Celebrity, and appropriately and
gracefully remarks that " England has no mono-
poly of the stock whence the best specimens of
nature's rarest handiwork are derived." This
series of sketches is very admirable, and affords a
Useful reference for the lives of Notabilities. There
are some graceful lines on " Twilight," which are
pleasing and thoughtful; "Dreaming" is a paper
!hat is worth perusing, and will suit the
imaginative, who sometimes inhabit another
World than the actual buying and selling
one. " Muscular Education "is a sensible article,
strongly advocating the advantages of a due atten-
tion to physical training in early life as well as
mental and moral cultivation. The importance at-
taching to the preservation of the health in those
f maturer years is also forcibly dwelt upon ; and
the mistaken sacrifice of bodily powers to mental
Pursuits, so fatal and so common an error in
Tir day, is condemned with due severity.
It cannot," says the writer, "be too strongly
enforced that, no matter how intellectual the calibre,
or how sensitive the fibre, material health lies at
the root of all. The brain must have its fat and its
phosphorus. The heart must be touched with the
bright and pure life-stream, or the pace begins to
slacken, and the machinery yields to the vis inertia
of earth till it stops dead. It is not too much to
Say that the greatest achievements await those Who,
having pursuits not necessarily favourable to health,
nevertheless make it of the first consideration to
attend to the culture of the body." Among the
remaining papers is an article on Florence, render-
ing due homage to the attractions of the bright city
of the Arno.

go important variation has taken place in Foreign
Securities, and the dealings have been restricted.
Turkish 6-per Cents. are 79 80 ;" ditto, 1858, 69 to
71, but the 4 per Cents. have receded to 1011 ;
Mexican are rather firmer, being quoted 271 ;
Spanish Deferred at 41k, and ditto Certificates at 6;
Grenada Active realised 151 ; Russian 3 per Cents.
are flat at 59, but Venezuelan have improved to
221 1.
Business in the Railway Share Market has been
rather more animated, and in some of the principal
British undertakings there has been a slight im-
provement. Eastern Counties, North Western,
and South Eastern have advanced ss. ; Great
Western, Lancashire and Yorkshire, Midlands,
and North Eastern (Berwick), 10s. ; and Bristol
and Exeter, £l. London and Brighton, however,
declined 10s.

Cornhill Magazine.
"The Adventures of Philip" are continued. Mrs.
Baynes comes out in her true colours, and her hen-
pecked husband acts under orders, and aids his
helpmate to molest their daughter. We do not
think that Mr. 'l'ha3keray has carried out the cha-
racter of his hero. We have been lc dto consider
Philip
Firnain as an independent off-handed young
man, but he allows Mrs. Baynes to browbeat bim in
a most unnatural way. Madame Smolok comes
out in a kind hearted and womanly manner,
and reproves the old general in the sharp way
Which a woman can so well launch at a man
Wh,o lets his wife rulethe roast ; vous n'etes
ran poltron General. The struggles of Brown,
°nos and Robinson are coming to a crisis. The
firm must shortly stop payment. A chapter on
competitive examinations goes to show that the
Spirit of rivalry does not tend to breed ill-feeling
between the rival candidates. We advise the
reader to pass over a paper on the future recen-
',ruction of the navy. Theory is very well in the
”stract, but when navies are to be conquered and
'ingdoms won, we opine that the cutlass and board-
ing-pike wits carry the day, and that yard-arm to
3."ard-arin: England will prevail. “Ag nes of Sorrento,'

Society" depicts-- the peculiarities of a popular
."1-
rtaiument, and is as clever as its predecessors,
"'oh is about as high praise as we can give it.

DEPOSIT BANK.—We understand that the solici-
tors for the official manager have applied to the Master of
the Rolls to take the examination of the directors of the
National Assurance and Investment Association in open
Court, and that an early day will be fixed for that purpose.
REMARKABLE ESCAPE.—On Saturday afternoon
a youth named Weymouth Hatt, son of Mr. Stephen Hart,
of Tillingham, was with hip; brothers engaged in splitting the
butt eud of a tree which had just been severed from the
stock, by blasting it with gunpowder, about four ounces of
which were closely plugged into an orifice ; touch-paper was
lighted, and the parties retired behind a haystack, when
some time having elapsed before the explosion took place,
Weymouth, judging that the paper had gone out, approached
with the intention of relighting it; after striking two or
three lucifers without result, ho was leaniag over it, when
the powder suddenly exploded, rending and shivering the
butt to atoms. The plug struck Weymouth's hat, which
was forced to a great height in the air. One of the larger
fragments struck him across the breast, and drove him a
considerable distance, and he fell over the trunk of the tree,
when some of the smaller p rtions struck him in the face,
the blood flowing copiously. Most strange to say his in-
juries were comparatively trifling.

TRIS DAY'S MARKETS.

....~~ ..T_.~_

CORN EXCHANGE.

Most of the country markets, held on Saturday, were
but moderately supplied with wheat. As the growers
almost generally refused to scll except at an advance of Is.
to 2s. per quarter, the transactions were much restricted.
Barley was a slow sale; but other produce was firm in
price.

The French markets have shown rather more firmness,
and in America large quantities of wheat and flour continue
to be purchased for export, at extreme rates.
The arrivals of English grain up to our market last week
were very moderate. From abroad we received 29,732
quarters of wheat; 4,280 barley ; 8,502 oats; 5,019 beans;
3,047 linseed ; 8,102 ra?eseed ; 501 sundry seeds ; 509 sacks
and 18,302 barrels of flour.

Fresh up to this morning's market the arrivals of
English wheat were very moderate. Owing to the
nature of the American news, and to the consequent stop-
page of supplies should war break out, factors were very
firm in their demands, and both red and white qualities of
wheat were held at an advance compared with this day se'n-
night of 2s. per quarter. Buyers,however, were disinclined
to operate except at last Monday's currency ; consequently,
little progress was made with sales at the close of business.
The quotations may be considered the turn—perhaps, in
some instances, Is, per quarter—higher than Monday last.
American wheat was held at considerably enhanced rates,
and other descriptions of foreign were only obtainable by
sabmitting to an advance in prices. The amount of busi-
ness transacted was small, at, in some instances, a slight
improvement in the quotations.

The trade for floating cargoes of grain was firm, and the
currencies had an upward tendency.
With barley we were tolerably well supplied, and all
descriptions moved off heavily, at barely the late decline in
prices.

Fine malt was in fair request at full quotations, but other
qualities met a slow sale on former terms.
Oats, the supply of which was very molerate, sold
steadily at full currencies.

Although the show of beans was less extensive than on
Monday last, the demand for them ruled inactive at that
day's quotations,

Peas moved off slowly at late rates. The supply on offer

was small.

The flour trade was very firm, and prices had an upward
tendency. American barrels especially were held for en-
hanced rates.
