THE ATTRACTIVE MAN.
By Mrs. TROLLOPE.
This novel will be universally read, and will, we suspect, become
the prime favourite of all the writer's works. The hero is a con•
sutrunately drawn character, and one that Is new to the modern
nov1;1 reader. Yet how perfectly natural, how true, and yet how
exMlig, by the perpetual curiosity attendant on his brilliant career."

NAVAL INTELLIGENCE.

WOOLWICH, DEC. 9.—The Amphion, 36 guns, building
at Woolwich Dockyard, is to be launched on the last
day of the present month, December 31. The whole of
her 36 guns are to be 32-pounders, and she has been
fitted with a screw propeller, as an auxiliary. and on:the
same plan as was adopted in fiting screw- propellers to
the vessels engaged on the Arctic expedition. She will
be masted and fitted in every respect the same as other
frigates, for the combined advantages of sailing and
steaming, or on either plan, according to circumstances.
The Terrible, steam-frigate, commissioned by Captain
Ramsay, is to have a crew of 240 men. The slides for
her guns have been all put on board, and her arma-
ment will consist of eight 8-inch, or 68-pounder guns,
eight long 56-pounder guns, Monk's pattern, four 62-
pounders, and two 24-pounder guns. This powerful
steamer has been constructed on Mr. Lang's principle,
and her engines, of 800 horse power, have been fitted by
Maudslay, Field, sue Son ; she will be ready to be taken
out of the basin in about a week, and make her
experimental trip to try her engines and .speed in
about a fortnight from this time. Some idea may be
formed of the size of the engines of this splendid vessel,
when it is stated that the Retribution, a steam-
frigate of 800-horse power, has had seven engineers,ak
five engineer apprentices, and 36 stokers,
making
en
intelligent g-
in all forty-eight persons, employed in working
gines. The importance of having and able
engineers to manage vessels of the magnitude of the Re-
tribution and Terrible, renders it desirable that the first-
engineers of frigates of that class should be made com-
missioned officers, to place them in more direct commu-
nications with their captains or commanders than at
present; the rank of the first engineer now being a
arrant-c,fficer, under the gunner, boatswain, and ear-
penter.
The appointment of first-engineers to cominis-
sions in first-class steam-frigates, would elevate that
branch of the service, and in Ince scientific persons to
remain in the Royal Navy, notwithstanding the exertions
of foreign Powers and States to induce them to leave
her Majesty's service, by holding out promises of greater
advantages and rank in their employment.
Tho Baretto Junior left her moorings off the Royal
Arsenal, and was towed down the river by the Monkey
steam-vessel, Mr. William Bryant, master. The Ba-
retto Junior has 200 convicts on board, and a guard of
the 20th Regiment of Foot, for Bermuda, and it is ex-
pected she will return with about 150 convicts from that
place, whose periods of transportation has expired, or
been commuted to five years and lesser periods, in con•
sequence of their good conduct.
The China hired convict-ship dropped down from
Deptford yesterday, to moorings off the Royal Arsenal,
to take on board convicts fer Norfolk Island. It is said
that 800 convicts altogether will leave this country be-
fore the expiration of the present month.

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Dec. 9.)
SuGAR.—To-day there was little desire shown to purchase
West India Muscovado for the scale or pan, although mer-
chants were inclined to sell, and submitted to a reduction on
the rates of Friday of 6d and is pe cwt. The market is
better supplied, especially with brown and common yellow
qualities ; the private sales amounted to only 160 hhds and
tierces. At auction 100 lads of Barbadoes went rather
cheaper.
REFINED.—To-day a fair quantity of Refined Sugar was
taken for home consumption, but lower rates were accepted,
brown grocery lumps selling at G3s 6d to 645, and standard
lumps 65s 6d. In Bonded Crushed Sugar there was very
little business transacted, but prices at present cannot be fur-

ther reduced.
MAntinus.—This afternoon none was offered at auction,
and the few parcels sold privately were at easier rates. A
vessel has arrived off the coast from the Mauritius, with
5,000 bags of new Sugar.
EAST INDlA.—'Phis afternoon there was little desire shown
to purchase Bengal Sugar; three parcels, amounting to 3,407
bags, were brought to public sale, and a small part only sold,
at a decline on former rates of fully ls.
FORElGN.—Although there are sellers of white Brazil, at
a further decline in prices, still the business transacted pri-
vately has been limited, and confined to a floating cargo of
Bahia for Trieste at 25s 3d, and a small parcel of brown,ehiefly
for refining here under bond at 19s to 23s per cwt. Yellow
Havannah is offered upon lower terms. White is heavy of
sale. In other kinds very little business has been transacted.
Fnurr.—This afternoon, at public sale, 2,161 pkgs Imperial
French Plums were offered, and chiefly. sold at following
rates, viz., 4115 s to Si 15s, cartoons 41 16s to 9/ 2s, 1/13 boxes
boxes 4/ ls, 1-16 ditto 4111 s, and
_butts 515 s to Si Gs. 4,140
drums of Turkey Figs, tine 65s to 70s, good 50s to 60s, midd-
ling 456 to 495, low and very low 35s to 41s. 334 boxes

Eleine Raisins, 38s.
COFFEE.—This afternoon Ceylon Coffee was purchased
with caution by private treaty, and 488 per cwt is the
nearest pica for good ordinary ; none has been offered at
auction. Other kinds met with little attention privately;
at auction 246 l.ags Costa Rica were, however, sold at good
market rates, and went at 608 for fine fine ordinary palish
blue, and at 49s 6a to 52s 6d for fine ordinary quality.
TEA.—Although all descriptions of Congou are offered
at lower rates, still the town and country trade
operate with caution and continue to take only sufficient
for the supply of their immediate wants. Pouchong has

SURREY THEATRE.

The Infant Sappho commenced an engagement for
five performances at this theatre last evening. At the
conclusion of the first piece, The Minute Gun at Seat
there was a concert in which the Sal pho appeared, stir
ported by her father (Mr. "Vinning) and Miss
Amelia Vinning. We have so frequently had occasion
to express our admiration of the performances of this
wonderful child, and so flattering have been the recorded
opinions of the first musicians of the day as ID her
transcendent abilities, that to (Witte upon her merits i 5
now become a work of supererogation. She pas'
sesses the god-like gift, genius—but not untutored
genius. She is a rule unto herself, and if she does not
intuitively comprehend, she is at all events intuitively
guided by the most exact and abstruse rules of musical
science. She thoroughly understands -harmony, and is
a clever contrapuntist. Like Mozart, while yet a child
in years, she is a giant in musical science. Her per-
formance was followed by the farce of The Hole in the
Wall, after which we had the grand spectacle of The
Forty nitres, which has been revived at this theatre le
all its pristine splendour. The house was crowded in
every part.

AN AVALANCHIL—We lately mentioned that an
accident bad taken place on the: St. Bernard, by which
the lives of one of the monks, and three domestics attached
to the hospital, were sacrificed. The latter were inhabitants
of the Valais; and the former was M. Cart, canon of Sal-
lanches, in IF.lucigny. The accident arose from an enormous
avalanche from Mont Mort, to the east of the Hospital. It
was in contemplation to trace out the road along the Combe,
on the side of the valley, and Canon Cart, who was known to
be bold, robust, and the most intrepid among the brethren in
braving storms, went to direct the operation, as several tra-
vellers were expected on that day; he and his three com-
panions were thus cut off; while in the performance of an act
of hospitality and charity.—Gaiignani.

THE TENANT FARMER'S ADVOCATE.
It is abundantly manifest that the position of the agricul-
tural interest as a class is undergoing, and must undergo, a great
change. In such change the relative position of " Landlord and
Tenant" will form the most important feature, and the establish-
ment of a sound system of " Tenants' Rights" will be a cardinal
point for " Tenant Farmers." For fourteen years THE MARK-
LANE EXPRESS AND AGRICULTURAL JOURNAL has
been the zealous and uncompromising advocate of the Tenants'
Rights, and with the conviction that the interests of the Tenantry
are vitally involved in the question, the columns of this journal will
be continuously devoted to its discussion and elucidation.

MRS. TROLLOPE'S NEW NOVEL.
Now ready at all the Libraries, in 3 vols.,
THE ATTRACTIVE MAN.
By Mrs. TROLLOPE.
" This novel will be universally read, and will, we suspect, become
the prime favourite of all the writer's works. The hero is a con.
intimately drawn character, and one that is new to the modern
novel reader. Yet how perfectly natural, how true, and yet how
exciting, by the perpetual curiosity attendant on his brilliant career."
—Court Journal.
Henry Colburn, Publisher, 13, Great Marlborough-street.

Now ready, revised and corrected, in one vol. post Svo.,

FAIR PLAY.—The 200,000 Readers of " Punch,"
who desire to know both sides of a question before they con-
demn, will find in Mr. BUCKINGHAM'S PAMPHLET (a second
edition of which is just published) all the letters that have passed be-
tween himself and the writers in " Punch," Messrs. Gilbert a Beckett,
Horace Mayhew, Mark Lemon, and Douglas Jerrold, now for the
first time made public. This pamphlet, price 3d., extends to thirty-
two pages, and may be ordered through any Bookseller or Newsman
in town or country. No verdict can be worth anything till the evi-
dence on both sides has been examined.

MARKET NEWS.-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE-WEDNESDAY.
Although the arrivals of English Wheat for to-day's mar-
ket were small, the demand for that description of grain, as
was the case on Monday, ruled heavy, at barely the late de-
cline in the quotations. Foreign Wheat, free as well as in
bond, moved off slowly, and prices were not supported. Bar-
ley and Malt commanded very little attention, at low rates.
Oats, Beans, and Peas were all lower. In Flour, next to no-
thing doing.

ROLLS' COURT.-(THIS DAY.)

POTTS V. DUTTON.

Mr. TURNER, on the part of the defendant, moved that
a writ of fieri facias as well as other proceedings which
had taken place in this case be set aside, on the ground
of an alleged illegality in a sheriff's warrant.
The document not being in Court, his Lordship re-
fused to bear the case until it was produced, and the
matter was accordingly postponed.

LORD NELSON V. LORD RRIDPORT.

Mr GARDNER resumed the reading of the evidence of
the plaintiff's witnesses, which consisted of the answers
of two eminent Sicilian lawyers to certain interrogatories
respecting the tenure of feuds in Sicily, and which had
not been cited before.

SECONDARIES.—(THIS DAY.)
(Before Mr. Secondary POTTER.)
ABSENCE OF JURYMEN AND ATTORNEYS.—On the
names of twenty-four jurymen being called unly eleven
answered, notwithstanding that a week ago four were
fined 5/. each for non-attendance. On another juryman
being found, further delay took place in consequence of
none of the solicitors being in attendance. The counsel,
Mr. Payne and Mr. Thomas, urged that all the cases
ought to be struck out, as it was too bad that the busi-
ness of the Court should be at a stand still.

The SECONDARY called the causes, and after some
time, the attorney in the last cause answered, but coun-
sel objected to its being taken out of rotation; ultimately
the following cause was called on:—

MARKET INTELLIGENCE.

(From the London New Price Current of Dec. 9.)
SUGAR.—To-day there was little desire shown to purchase.
West India Muscovado for the scale or pan, although mer-
chants were inclined to sell, and submitted to a reduction on
the rates of Friday of 6d and Is per cwt. The market is
better supplied, especially with brown and common yellow
qualities; the private sales amounted to only 160 hhds and
Sugar u
g t o a
r 6is, and standard
lumps there was very
tierces. At auction 100 hhds of Barbadoes went rather
cheaper.
REFINED.—To-day a fair quantity of Refined Sugar was
taken for home consumption, but lower rates were accepted,
brown grocery6s s 6d .
little business transacted, but prices at present cannot be fur-
ther reduced.
MAURITIUS.—This afternoon none was offered at auction,
and the few parcels sold privately were at easier rates. A

vessel has arrived off the coast from the Mauritius, with
5,000 bags of new Sugar.
EAST INDIA.—This afternoon there was little desire shown
to purchase Bengal Sugar • three parcels, amounting
to 3,407
bags, were brought to public sale, and a small part only sold,
at a decline on former rates of fully Is.
FORElGN.—Although there are sellers of white Brazil, at
a further decline in prices, still the business transacted pri-
vately has been limited, and confined to a floating cargo of
Bahia for Trieste at 25s 3d, and a small parcel of brown,ehiefly
for refining here under bond at 19s to 233 per cwt. Yellow
Havannah is offered upon lower terms. 1V bite is heavy of
sale. In other kinds very little business has been transacted.
FnuiT.—This afternoon, at public sale, 2,161 pkgs Imperial
Preach Plums were offered, and chiefly sold at following
rates, viz., 4/ 15s to 8/ 15s, cartoons 4/ 16s to 91 2s,

COFFEE.—This afternoon Ceylon Coffee was purchased
with caution by private treaty, and 48s per cwt is the
nearest price for good ordinary; none has been offered at
auction. Other kinds met with little attention privately;
at auction 246 bags Costa Rica were, however, sold at good
market rates, and went at COs for fine fine ordinary palish
blue, and at 49s 6d. to 52s 6d for fine ordinary quality.
TEA.—Although all descriptions of Congou are offered
at lower rates, still the town and country trade
operate with caution and continue to take only sufficient

STRAND THEATRt.

Mr. Barnard Gregory appeared on Monday evening in
the character of Othello. His Othello fully confirms the
opinion we have formed as to his histrionic powers fro°
seeing his Shylock. He is certainly a first-rate actor,
energetic, impassioned, yet graceful withal. His elves'
tion, too, is beautiful—the rhythm of the verse is well
marked, while at the same time sense is never sacrificed
to sound. All is smooth, easy, yet impressive. Seidl
has the address to the senate been more effectively given
than it was on Monday evening. The jealousy scene, Wel
and very finely acted ; and it is evident that not only is fir
Gregory a gentleman of high dramatic talent, but that
he has cultivated that talent, and is quite au fait at the
usages of the stage. Should he adopt it as his feter.3,
profession, he will become the legitimate successor 0'
Edmund Kean. Since Kean's death we have had ee
actor who so nearly approaches him as Mr. Gregerf•
He was well supported by Mrs. Percy as Desdemooth
and Mr. Waldron as lago. At the conclusion, both
Gregory and Mrs. Percy were called for, and rapturouel/
received. Indeed, throughout the evening the reception
of Mr. Gregory was most enthusiastic. The house w
crowded.

ABSENCE OF JURI MEN AND ATTORNEYS.—On the

answeree, notwithstanding that a week ago four were

being found, further delay took place in consequence of

SCOTCH SEQUESTRATION.

James and William White and Company, cotton-yarn mer-
chants, Glasgow, Dec. 12 and Jan. 2, at one, at the office of
Messrs. Knox and Finlay, Glasgow.

In the will of Sir Grabriel Wood, which was
proved in Doctors' Commons, on Tuesday last, the 2d inst.,
by Lady Wood, his relict, and Philip Caddell, Esq., of the
Royal Crescent, Bath, the executors, no reference whatever
is made of a bequest—as quoted in several papers of the pre-
vious week, from the Glasgow National—of 80,0001. for the
erection and maintenance of an hospital in Greenock, for
aged, infirm, and disabled seamen of that port. Sir Gabriel
has, by his will, dated the 17th of June last, left his property,
real and personal, to his wife and sister, viz. :—to his wife,
1,0001. for her immediate use, and bequeaths to her abso-
lutely, all his lands, messuages, and other property in Prince
Edward's Island, North America ; also the sum of 10,0001.
in addition to 5,0001. under the marriage settlement. To
his sister, Francis Ann Wood, he has left all his property in
Scotland for her absolute use. And after leaving legacies to
a few friends, and directing a sum of 1,000/. to be divided
amongst the children of the deceased mariner, John Watson,
of Paisley, and 5001. to Watson's sister, he bequeaths the
residue of his real and personal estate to Lady Wood. and his
sister for their own use absolutely. The personal property
in England was sworn under 50,000/. Sir Gabriel bad at-
tained his 77th year, and died on the 30th of October last, at
his residence in the Circus, in the city of Bath.—Post.
THE MOORS.—A sportsman of long experience
and knowledge of the habits of grouse writes us :—"Never
did I encounter such wet and windy weather, and, conse-
quently I never saw birds so wild as they are at present. It
is impossible to get near them unless accidentally. I shot
brace on Friday,
o and 10i_ brace on the day following,
from twelve to three 'clock. Neither single birds, pairs, nor
focks, can be seen whilst a person remains on the sane hill-
side with them. They stand on bare spots, with three or
four birds stationed about one hundred yards in advance,
to give alarm, and as soon as any one comes in ;sight
they are off." On many of the Ross and Sather land
shootings, where moors are less mountainous, grouse seldom
i
assemble in great flocks,
and frequently sportsmen can make
up a good bag on a stormy November day. The following
nearly equals sporting in August or September. About the
middle of last month, and in eight successive days, at In-
verbroorn, Sir St. George Gore, Bart., bagged to his ow, n gun
200 brace of grouse. On one rough and stormy day he killed
31i brace, a hare, and a snipe. Last week Novar enter-
tained a party of his neighbours, and in two days, notwith-
standing very unfavourable weather, 300 head of game were
killed by them on the estate, including roe, black cock, &c.
Novar also sent presents of game to all the electors and
hotmeholders on lus property,—Ron-shirt 4dverhign

HALIFAX AND QUEBEC.

At a meeting held in favour of this line, which is to con-
nect Halifax and Quebec, to settle grants of land upon the
line, and to make branches to St. John, Frederickton, and
other places, Mr. John Joseph Sheene in the chair;
Mr. WILLIAM BRIDGES, the secretary and projector
of the line, read the report of the Committee, from which
it appeared that a memorial drawn up by Sir Richard Brown
and Mr. Bridges, was addressed to the Prime Minister,
urging on the consideration of Government the great benefits
likely to accrue from the enterprise; that upon an inter-
view with Lord Stanley, his Lordship referred the deputa-
tion to the local governments, but expressed an opinion
that, in the event of local support being secured, the
Government would not refuse their sanction to the under-
taking. Memorials were addressed to Lord Metcalfe, Lord
Falkland, and Sir William Colebrook, the governors of the
respective provinces of Canada, Nova Scotia, and New
Brunswick, of similar tenor to that submitted to Sir Robert
Peel, and correspondence was entered into, the result of which
was a cordial expression of approval, and promises of sup-
port from Lord Falkland and Sir William Colebrook, who
had also addressed Lord Stanley in recommendation of the
enterprise, from the Honourable Mr. Almor, a member
of the Executive Council and President of the Bank of
Nova Scotia, Dr. Gesner, of Cornwallis, and various
others of character and influence in British North
America, and that maps and other engineering
information had been transmitted to the colony. That Mr.
G. R. Young, a member of the Legislature of Nova Scotia, had
been applied to, and had used his influence to ascertain the
feeling of merchants in the city connected with the Canadas
relative to the project, and had addressed letters by
the last mail to various correspondents in the colonies,
with the view of eliciting public expressions of opinion,
and a guarantee of local monetary support, if ap-
proved of by the public intelligence. That Captain
Moorsom, who had formerly made extensive surveys for
the Government in the North American territory, had also
assisted the promoters with much valuable information, had
furnished an estimate of the probable cost and returns, and
had consented, in conjunction with Mr. Valentine, to be the
principal engineer. That Mr. Street had been in negotiation
with various persons in New Brunswick, who were desirous to
constitute a company to construct a railway from St. John
to the Grand Falls, to connect with the trunk line to Quebec ;
that extensive local and Government patronage had been
secured to the undertaking, and that no less than 100,0001.
of stock would be locally subscribed for that portion ; and
that the Legislature of New Brunswick, in their opinion, are
disposed to give a bonus of 10,0001. to 15,0001. ay,ear for five
years. Resolutions proposed and supported by Messrs. Sam-
bert, Hoare, Whitney, Moorsom, Spiers, and others, were
carried unanimously for prosecuting the recommendations
contained in the report.
