the tale in any particular, except that Charley is
exalted to the university, and has a quarrel
with Father Mackworth, of a more serious
character than any prior engagements, and
war to the knife is declared between them.
The health of old Denoil is giving way, and
we can foresee that troubles and hardships await
young Ravenshoe, and that he and his brother are
to be the victims of a designing, unscrupulous, and
unprincipled knave, in the person of the esuit
Father Mackworth. " Grains from Legal Mum-
mies," by Knightley Howman, contains some
extraordinary revelations of old statutes which
existed until very lately. For instance, we find
that an Irish statute against witchcraft made by an
Irish parliament during the reign of Elizabeth,
was not repealed until 1821.
Tom Brown at Oxford is nearing its completion.
Tom has called at the house of his inamorata, and
has been received by her father and explained all,
and having refused to give up his correspondence
with Patty, they parted in bad humour, but all
will yet be explained and end properly. Capt.
East has been wounded in India, as has also Harry
Winburn, and both are expected to return to
England. East's description of his feelings on first
going into action is well described—
" I sat with my watch in my hand, feeling queer, and
wondering whether T was a greater coward than the rest.
Then came a streak of light. I put up my watch, formed
the men ; up went a rocket, my signal, and out into the
open we went at the double. We hadn't !got over a third
of the ground when bang went the fort guns, and the grape-
shot
were whistling about our ears; so I shouted' For-
ward !' and away we went as hard as we could go. I was
obliged to go ahead, you see, because every man of them
knew I had beaten Larry, their best runner, when he had
no gun to carry; but I didn't half like it, and should have
blessed any hole or bramble which would have sent me
ever and given them time to catch me. But the ground
was provokingly level ; and so 1 was at the first mound
and over it several lengths in front of the men, and among
a lot of black fellows serving the guns. They came at me
like wild cats, and how I got off is a mystery. I parried a
cut from one fellow, and dodged a second ; a third rushed
at my left side. I just caught the flash of his tulwar, and
thought it was all up, when he jumped into the air, shot
through the heart by Sergeant Winburn • and the next
moment Master Larry rushed by me and plunged his
bayonet into my friend in front. It turned me as sick as a
dog. I can't fancy anything mare disagreeable than seeing
the operation for the first time, except being stuck oneself.
The supporting companies were in in another minute, with
the dear old chief himself, who came up and shook hands
with me, and said I had done credit to the regiment. Then
I began to look about, and missed poor little Jones. We
found him about twenty yards from the place, with two
grape-shot through him, stone dead, and smiling like a
child asleep. We buried him in the fort. I cut off some
of his hair, and sent it home to his mother. Her last letter
was in his breast pocket, and a lock of bright brown hair of
some one's. I sent them back, too, and his sword."

Professor Ansted furnishes an interesting paper on
" African Discovery," he shows that African tra-
vellers have divided the continent into four divi-
sions, but that great tracts yet remain unexplored,
and that we may soon have maps of that continent
which will contrast with those now in existence,
as our present maps of Europe are at variance
with those of a century ago. Chapters on " Essays
and Reviews," " Accidental Inventions," and Va-
cation Tourists" complete the number.

Orley Farm. By Anthony Trollope. Chapman

and Hai.

In part the third we are introduced to the Fur-
nival family, who are destined to figure prominently
in the future numbers of the story. We cannot
concur with the author in the opinions he entertains
of commercial travellers of the present day. They
are in general, especially those who represent large
firms, men of gentlemanly behaviour, who do not
drop their H's or use the accusative for the nomina-
tive case ; but Mr. Trollope, in chapter the ninth,
and in fact in previous chapters where commercial
travellers are introduced, representes them as little
better than a set of uneducated boors. The account
of the struggles of Mr. Furnival, and the
unremitting toil which he maintained during
a long and unsuccessful practice at the bar,
until, in his old age, he gained a high standing, are
truthfully described, but the trials of his wife in
reality began with independence and exalted
station :

As a poor man Mr. Furnival had done his duty well by
his wife and family,—for as a poor man he had been blessed
with four children. Three of these had died as they were
becoming men and women, and now, as a rich man, he was
left with one daughter, an only child. As a poor man Mr.
Furnival had boen an excellent husband, going forth in
the morning to his work, struggling through the day, and
then returning to his meagre dinner and his long evenings
of unremitting drudgery. The bodily strength which hacl
supported him through his work in those days must have
been immense, for he had allowed himself no holidays.
And then success and money had come,—and Mrs. Furni-
val sometimes found herself not quite so happy as she had
been when watching beside him in the days of their
poverty.
The equal mind,—as mortal Delius was bidden to re-
member, and as Mr. Furnival might also have remembered
had time been allowed him to cultivate the classics,—the
equal mind should be as sedulously maintained when things
run well, as well as when they run hardly ; and perhaps
the maintenance of such equal mind is more difficult in the
former than in the latter stage of life. Be that as it may,
Mr. Furnival could now be very cross on certain dorcestic
occasions, and could also be very unjust. And there was
worse than this,—much worse behind. He, who in the
heyday cf his youth would spend nighf after night poring
over his books,• copying out reports, and never asking
to see a female habiliment brighter or more attractive than
his wife's Sunday gown, he, at the age of fifty-five, was
now running after strange godesses 1 The member for the
Essex Marshes, in these his latter days, was obtaining for
himself among other successes the character of a Lothario ;
and Mrs. Furnival, sitting at home in her genteel drawing-
room near Cavendish-square, would remember with regret
the small dingy parlour in Keppel-street.

Young Lucius Mason calls upon Mrs. Furnival
on his way through London, and is captivated by
her daughter, but he inadvertently let out that his
mother is coming to town the next day, and as Mr.
Furnival is likewise to return from Birmingham,'
the suspicions of the jealous wife are excited. Lady
Mason having an appointment with the lawyer on
her expected lawsuit, the suspicious Mrs. Furnival
surprises the supposed lovers in his chambers.

METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKEL

The supply of beasts on offer in our market to-day was
moderately good. Prime breeds commanded a steady sale,
at full prices ; but inferior stock ruled heau, at late rates.
There were 40 oxen on sale from Spain. With sheep we
were fairly supplied. Generltlly speaking, the mutton
trade was in a sluggish gate, at, Monday's currency.
Prime lambs were scarce, and in request, at full quota-
tions ; otherwise the lamb trade was very inactive. 200
lambs reached us from the Isle of Wight. The veal trade
was slow, at Monday's prices. In pigs and mulch cows
very little was done.

CITY, Two O'CLOCK.

There is very little alteration in the Money
Market to-day, but the rates still show a tendency
towards inoreasing firmness.

A small quantity of gold, viz., £lO,OOO, was
withdrawn from the Bank of England yesterday.
The steamer Atrato, which left to day for the
West Indies, conveyed £5,035, nearly all in silver.

the adjourned meeting to•day, resolved to liquidate
the estate in bankruptcy.
The directors of the Bank of England, at their
meeting today, have not found it necessary to
make any alteration in their discount regula-
tions.

There has not been much animation in the mar-
ket for Public Securities to-day, but dealings have
taken place at enhanced quotations, a few specu-
lative purchases having caused an advance of it per
cent., Consols being 91,1 92 for money and the 9th

Reduced remain at 90 k ; Bank Stock at 232 k 234 ;

but Dutch 21 per Cents. are flat at 644.
