'Wayside Gatherings._ B E. 14, T. Richardson,

Brothers.

The charm of ibis little volume is its unaffected
simplicity. Every poem is the natural outpouring
of the writer's heart, and as such it steals its way
irresistibly to the heart of the reader. There is no
striving after effect, no elaborate embellishment or
artificial conceit to be met with here, but an abun-.
dant store of kindly thoughts and bright aspira-
tion, genial sympathies and gentle admonitions.
This bouquet, "gathered" by the "wayside" of the
great field of Nature, consists for the most part of
homely flowers ; but, if modest in hue, such are the
sweetest in perfume, and these have been milled by
one fully alive to their hidden beauties—one ready
to gather sermons from stones, and quick to recog-
nise good in everything. Among the sweetest
blossoms in the collection are those gathered in the
churchyard, and hung as graceful wreaths of immor-
tales over some beloved tomb. Of this number are
several dedicated to the memory of a little girl, the
only child of her mother—a widow. These little
poems, " The Three Curls," "The Portrait," and
others, will be read with lively sentiments of emo-
tion by many. " Weary not in Well-doing" is an
earnest and heart-stirring appeal. "Teach him to
pray," addressed to a young mother, is perhaps one
of the best poems in the volume. The memorials
of home, " Our Birthday Feast," "Our Household
Prayer," " The Memory of our Mother," "MY
Father's Knee," arc., evidence the affectionate heart
of the writer, and are full of interest. We may
commend this little work particularly to the young.
They will derive both pleasure and profit from its
pages ; and many a kindly emotion and grateful
memory will, we doubt not, be associated with these
graceful "Gatherings from the Wayside."

The inclement weather prevented subscribers fronl
mustering in large numbers at the Corner. There vreg
a marked absence of backers of horses and the little
business transacted on the Cambridgeshire cannot be
regarded as indicative of the true tone of the market.
The only animal that appeared to be really in demand
was the American mare Prioress, about whom 100 to 5
was taken. The following were the only quotations Wa
were enabled to obtain :

MONEY MARKET

AND
COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE.

CITY, Two o'CLocK.
The Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday closed
flatly with a downward tendency in prices. The
sales amounted to 2,000 bales. The Railway Share
Market exhibited rather more firmness, and prices
have slightly improved.
The transaAions in Foreign and Colonial produce
this week have been curbed by the general disincli-
nation to enter into extensive engagements while
the money-market h so unsettled. As was anti-
cipated, the advance of the minimum to 8 per cent.
at once induced a cautious feeling ; pur-
chases were confiued to immediate wants, the
public sales were less numerous, and prices
tended downwards. In sugar the operations have
been limited, and most descriptions are cheaper,
the trade having bought sparingly. Coffee has de-
clined Is. to 2s. per cwt., and the market for this
article is also dull. Rice has further receded. The
public sales of tea have passed off without anima-
tion, and at rather easier prices, and in rum there
is no material alteration. Cochineal has declined
7d. per lb. ; indigo, since the quarterly sales, has
become flat, and cotton is lower. Tallow is rather
firmer.

It was resolved at a meeting held yesterday to
wind-up the London, Manchester, and Foreign
Warehouse Co., and it is believed that 2/. par share
will be returned to the shareholders.

A call of W. per share has been made by the
Scinde Railway Company. Owing to the prepay-
ment, however, there only remains about 5,0001.
• to be collected in accordance with this subscription.
About 16,000/. in sovereigns was taken from the
Bank yesterday for America, and it is stated that
shipments on a large scale are likely to be made to
the continent for silver, as the recent advance in
terms for bills drawn upon the three Presi-
dencies will stimulate the efflux thither. It
Was stated, a few days since, that the adminis-
tration of the Bank of France was losing gold,
but the accounts received to-day allege that
a considerable amount had returned to them, and
there was no immediate prospect of supplies being
sought in this country. The next steaner for
India will probably take out an important sum,
and 300,0001. has already been prepared for
remittance by that opportunity.
An adjourned meeting of the British Steam li
Fisheries Company has just been held, Mr. Dykes
in the chair, for the confirmation of the resolution
passed on the 21st of September last for dissolving
the company, which was agreed to accordingly.
In Lombard-street and at the Bank of Eng-
land th ere is still a comparatively quiet demand for
money, and although it is expeoted that the
Bank of England return to be pubialied this even-
ng will exilibit some remarkable changes, showing
a considerable strain upon the resources of the
establishment, there is a more hopeful feeling with
regard to the future. The fact that so small an
amount luti; been taken to America is con-
sidered as a proof that the restrictions already
adopted will prevent the efflux which was
at first anticipated, it is nevertheless imagined that
a considerable amount will be conveyed to private
hands. Many passengers now going to America
will take out large sums of money, since, by saving
the insurance, Azc., they may be enabled to obtain
highly remunerative profits from their &pe :ulations.
A decline oft per cent. took place in the English
Stock Market to-day, but business is dull, and the
=vet:cent was produced by a few sides and the dis-
continuance of money purchases. The market is bet-
ter supplied with stock, and the tendency was tempo-
rarily un favourable. Consols for money have receded
88 /, and for account 88i The market is now
stronger, and the quotations are 881 ; and 88; 89
respectivoly. The New Three per Cents. have
been dealt: in at 88 to 88k, and the Reduced 87/ to
88. Bank Stock has been 212 to 213, and is
marked as ldw as 207. Exchequer Bills are
1.55. to 10s. discount, and the Bonds are 97i I.
There is again a very quiet market for Foreign
Securities. Turkish 6 per Cents. have been firm
87i to 88, and they are now called 87i 88. The 4
per Cent. Guaranteed are 97-1. ; Dutch 4 per Cents.
971 ; and Peruvian 4i per Cents. 77. Mexican
Stock is dull at 194.
