Jiusiness Life ; the Experience. of a London Trades-
man. Houlston and Wright.
This is a singular little volume, which, notwith-
standing its eccentricities, contains a good many
-Pieces of practical advice, which the inexperienced
or ignorant may follow with profit. It professes
to narrate the experiences of a London tradesman,
'Who has carried on business for 12 years and en-
countered many -vicissitudes. If we are to take his
own assertion he is gifted with great energy and
considerable talent, but as he pleads guilty to a
love , of speculation and an inability to attend to
details, we do not share the surprise he expresses
at his occasional disasters. He discusses many
topics of great importance to the man of business,
besides giving hints for domestic life as well.
Be says that he has long been con-
vinced that many of his misfortunes and
difficulties could have been avoided had he possessed
a friend of experience to guide him, or had a prac-
tical treatise like the present to which he could
turn for instruction. No doubt there are many of
these experiences which will be useful to others,
and perhaps enable them to avoid the troubles the
author encountered. His principles are highly
'floral and straightforward ; and some valuable
Pieces of advice and instruction may be gathered
from this quaint but suggestive little volume.

The market for American Securities during the
past week has shown greater activity, and prices
have tended upwards. The subjoined remarks are
from the circular of Messrs. D. Bell, Son, and Com-
pany :—" The market for American Securities
during the past week showed a decided improve-
ment. The actual transactions in State- and City
stocks were more numerous, at generally improved
prices. There has also been a considerable demand
for the best description of Railroad Bonds; more
particularly for those of the New York and Erie and
Michigan Central Lines."

Cassell's Handbooks. .Natural Philosophy. Elo-
cution and Oratory. Amusing Experiments.
Cassell, Petter, and Galpin.
This excellent series of handbooks is likely to
be of efficient ..Q;Qtanoo rn thn nplf-pcicator by
furnishing him with signposts on the road of
knowledge and mental improvement. They give a
fair outline of the subject in question, in a
concise form, and clear and simple style, thus pro-
'Viding the reader with the rudiments of knowledge,
and with the means of comprehending larger and
41°re ambitious treatises. " The Handbook of
Natural Philosophy" will suggest to the mind
Of the young inquirer many interesting questions,
;Which will incline him to prosecute his studies on a
large scale. Those whose want of time or inclina-
tion forbids an extended course of study will learn
from the little treatise before us some of the great
principles of natural science, and acquire from its
Pages knowledge which they would never have
aought in more elaborate volumes. The properties
of matter and the laws of motion are described in
turn; then the phenomena of the elements are illus-
trated in a popular manner. INlagnetism and elec-
tricity occupy, as may be imagined, a prominent
lace in the latter pages. The Hand-book of
Eloeution and Oratory has been prepared by a lady
'Whose name is not unknown in our dramatic world—
Miss Edith Heraud. It is written with clearness and
with an especial regard for practical utility. Read-
ing aloud in public and in private, table oratory,
and speeches for occasions of social festivity are
discussed successively, while the latter portion of the
treatise is devoted to the consideration of the vari-
ous forms of oratory required for the bar, the
p_ul pi t , the senate, the stage, and the platform.
he Handbook of Amusing Experiments will be an
Inexhaustible source of entertainment to many
Intelligent young persons; to whom, however, we
7,11.°111d strongly recommend attention to the editor's
hint of employing extreme caution in those expe-
inlents z in which fire is an agent.

The Foreign and Colonial lines have remained
very inactive. South Austrian and Lombardo-
Venetian, however, are a shade firmer. Great
Indian Peninsula have improved 55.; and Great
Western of Canada, ss. Grand Trunk of Canada
are depressed, owing to the postponement of the
payment of the interest on the Bonds of the
Atlantic and St. Lawrence branch.

Shakespeare's Tragedy of Julius Gesar. By the
Rev. John Hunter, M.A. London.

THE WEaTHE.R.

We can with pleasure commend this edition of
-,L/nlius Caesar," and a similar one of " Henry
y to the notice of all instructors of youth. It
specially intended to prepare youth for the
middle-class examinations on Shakespeare ; and
e former one of " Henry VIII." was found " to
have successfully anticipated and provided for the
requirements of the Oxford examination." From
lo
tja°42ll
over the " Julius Caesar," we cannot doubt
4L the Editor, in this, says no more than the
tr_llth.
He has provided, what no other editions
n
Shakespeare professes to do, just what stu-
dious
„, youth need, for a proper understanding
aappreciation of the great poet. Shakespeare
is now become a part of the English education in
every good school, and certainly with the greatest
propriety.
None of our great writers are so well
adapted to the tutor's purposes, for giving youth a
fight conception of the powers of their mother
tongue, and for imparting to them a just and
manly literary taste. The City of London School
has a considerable bequest to encourage the lads by
and
suitable prizes to the study of Shakesperian works,
we cannot doubt that the stimulus wilt
prove to be of signal use to great numbers of the
boys. We commend this edition of the plays to
the. notice of the tutors, if it has not hitherto
attracted their attention.

DESTRUCTIVE I' IRE.--Yesterday morning
a firhe

policeman who discovered the fire roused the inmates, who
With great difficulty effected their escape. Engines quickly
arrived, but the fire was not subdued until the premises
and valuable stock were destroyed, and the adjoining houses
damaged.
THE MURDERER HACKED.—After the removal
