for the Niagara on the Bth inst. The sales of the 9th
were 1,200 bales, at full prices; 10th, 1,500 at extreme
rates for all qualities; and for good ordinary to middling
1 cent. was paid. The accounts of the growing crop
from all quarters are very unfavourable.
PHILADELPHIA, OCT. 11.—The sales of cotton reach
only about 300 bales to-day at former prices; the market

NEW BOOKS FOR WINTER READING.—Several
new books, of singular interest and importance, have just
appeared, :-1. Mr. Ryans' Two Years' Personal

diggings,d‘entuesnel enriched by 23 drawings taken on the spot, con-
fessedly the only reliable information relative to that at-
tractive region, and pronounced by the Quarterly Review to
be " most lively and amusing." 2. Captain Hervey's Ten
Years in India," a work which not only enlightens the
voung officer about to proceed to the east on all points of his
duty, but puts him on his guard against the various snares
laid to entrap him. 3. " Ceylon and the Cingalese,"
treat-
ing of all matters of importance connected with that beautiful
British colony. Mr. Sirr's official position as Queen's Advo-
cate for the Southern Circuit of the Island gave him large
opportunities of inquiry and observation, of which he has
carefully availed himself. 4. Colonel Na pier's ,
Africa," containing a complete history of the Cape Colony,
&c. 5. Captain Reid's " Rifle Rangers," a book of Mexican
wonders. 6. The fourth edition of "Scenes of the Civil
War in Hungary," by an Austrian officer. "The narrative
of his adventures (says the Quarterly) is of the most natura

SCOTTISH ASSOCIATION FOR SUPPRESSING DRUN-
KENNESS. This association has recently circulated a letter
among the clergy of Scotland, recapitulating the objects of
its formation, and entreating co-operation in the work of
reforming Scotland " from its present degraded position as
the most drunken country in Europe." The committee
suggest to every clergyman in Scotland the propriety of
preaching a sermon against drunkenness on the last Sun-
day of the present year, at which a collection shall be made
in aid of their funds, believing that "Scotland has now the
opportunity presented to her, through his
Wiping off the national disgrace." Upwards of 700 clergy.
men in every quarter of the country, it is added, have been
already enrolled as office-bearers of the association.— Scots-

still actively engaged in pursuit of
the roLbers, but up to the present nothing has transpired
which could enable the detectives, who bare the case in
hand, to fix upon the guilty persons without running great
a
ST
risk. They still suspect the two parties that we alluded to
in our first report of the robbery, and they believe that they
will now very shortly have the delinquents at the bar of
justice. The following is a portion of the valuable property
taken, but until the whole. of the stock-books of Messrs.
Clapham and Williams are looked over they are ignorant of
the total loss they have sustained by this daring burglary;
—250 gold rings, set with diamonds, rubies, emerals, &c.
120 gold keeper rings • 130 gold signet rings, onyx, and car-
nelians ; 90 gold and silver watches; 80 gold guards and
chains; 15 single stone diamond rings; and a large number
of valuable bracelets and other jewellery Several of the
watches have been discovered under circumstances of a most
extraordinary nature, which at present it would be unwise
to make public. Since the robbery the Commissioners of
Police have issued a number of handbills warning house-
keepers against leaving their street doors open, and also to
be on their guard when strangers are waiting in their
passages. Extra iron-bound shutters are being fixed at
many of the silversmiths in the Strand.
MYSTERIOUS ROBBERY OF 350/. IN BANg-NT
—Within the last few days Mrs. Lingham, a married lady
residing with her husband at No. 21, Lacy-terrace, 1.
enton..
place, Walworth, close to the principal entrance to the Sur-
rey Gardens, discovered that she had been plundered of Bank
of England notes to the amount of 3501., and the robbery
and abstraction of the property seems enveloped in the
greatest possible mystery. It appears, from the information
conveyed to the police, that in the month of April, 1849,
Mr. and Mrs. Lingham sold out property
in the Funds
amounting to $OO/., and each took 40W. Mrs. Lingham
placed her portion in a cash-box, which she kept locked up
in a drawer in her bedroom. From time to time since that
period she added to the stock, to that by the time the rob-
bery was committed, the whole should have amounted to at
least COOL When about to make the last deposit, Mrs.
Lingham thought the bulk of notes bad diminished, and
this circumstance induced her to count them, when, to her
great consternation, she found 3501. missing. There is
another siegular cirumstaece connected with the robbery,
and that is, that from a book in which Mrs. Lingham had
the amount and numbers of the notes entered, two leaves
were torn out, and by this means all trace of the Missing
notes is destroyed. The officers, however, nre doing what
they can to find out the perpetrators of the robbery.
We have reason to believe that before next Hilary
Term, Sir John Bomilly will take his 'seat on the bench as
Master of the Rolls; but that his able services in the cause
of law reform will be demanded by the present Government,
so long as they remain an administration.
