Falsehood and Truth : by Charlotte Elizabeth. Liverpool

H. Perris

This is another production of a very deservedly popular
writer. The design of the work is principally to point out
the dangerous tendency of entrusting the education of the
young to those whose religious opinions are directly opposed
to their parents. The authoress has chosen the style of a
narrative ; and throughout strongly presses upon her readers
the paramount necessity of providing for those under their
care the necessity of a sound scriptural education. The work
will be found extremely interesting to the young, whilst it
also conveys much information to even the matured mind,
and to all who feel the importance of the subject of which it
treats. The astonishment and regret with which the parents
of a child (who had been allowed to remain at the residence
of a friend, where a popish governess was allowed to reside)
discover that the object of their anxious solicitude had be-
come deeply imbued with the principles of the church of
Rome, are pourtrayed with extreme delicacy and feeling ;
and the line of conduct to be observed in similar circum-
stances, is suggested with much earnestness and equal pro-
priety. A dedication to the Rev. H. M'Neile forms an in-
troduction to the volume. The typography and neat appear-
ance of the work reflect great credit on the publisher.

The Churchman's Monthly Review for March. London

L. and G. Seeley

This is, in our opinion, decidedly the best number of this
periodical that has yet appeared. The first article is a ner-
vous examination of Dr. Hook's " Scriptural Principles as
applicable to religious Societies," in which the claims of the
Church Missionary and other Societies are ably set forth as
worthy the support of every member of the church. The
arguments made use of are clear, and, to our minds, irre-
fragable—and form the most conclusiue answer to every ob-
jection which can possibly be urged against what are unjustly
styled " the irregular or schismatical associations" by any
churchman whose doubtful or sensitive conscience has been
disturbed by the foolish observations which are occasionally
issued from the press, and are the productions of the most
contracted and illiberal minds. Much has recently been
written on this subject, but we have never read any remarks
which in so short a compass, and in so unanswerable a man-
ner, dispose of the whole subject. The other reviews of
" Alison's Principles of Population," " Poole's Life and Times
of Cyprian," " East Indian Idolatry," and " The present
Position of the Church of Scotland," will amply repay a
most attentive perusal. We cannot too strongly recommend
this publication to the notice of every churchman.

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,-THIS DAY.

(From Messrs. R. MAKIN & SONS' Circular.)

We continue to be moderately supplied with Grain, Flour,
and Oatmeal from Ireland, but have to notice a considerable
accession to the supply of Wheat Coastwise, consisting of
about 16,000 quarters, chiefly from London, and which has
for some time been expected, with a fair quantity of Barley,
Malt, and Beans, round-land. A cargo of 1500 qrs. Wheat
has also arrived from Odessa, and about 1800 qrs. Beans
from Trieste and Leghorn.

The duty on foreign Wheat is is. per quarter, on Rye is. 6d.
per quarter, and on Flour is nd per barrel lower for the
ensuing week.

The general character of the trade since Tuesday has been
flat, with a tendency to lower prices for Wheat ; and at this
day's market, with a very thin attendance of buyers, scarcely
any sales could be effected in that article, although offered at
a decline of 2d. '• 70 lbs. As, however, the bulk of the London
shipments is new supposed to be forward, no holders ap-
peared inclined to submit to a greater reduction. The value
of barrel Flour is unaltered, and as well as Irish, difficult of
sale. Malting Barley and Beans each is. per quarter lower,
with a merely nominal demand.

We have scarceiy any stock of Irish ?dealing Oats, and
their value is fully supported. Oatmeal in ten days request,
at Tuesday's prices.
2000 barrels States Flour have been sold, for arrival, at
24s 3d to 24s 6d per barrel, but there are no further sales of
Bonded Wheat, on the spot, since Tuesday.

ITERPOOL COTTON MARKET-THIS MORNING

The cotton market, since the arrival of the Columbia, has
been very flat, with considerably less demand, and business.
The sales for Tuesday, Wednesday, and yesterday, are only
6000 bales ; and generally the decline has been on the busi-
ness done in American descriptions on Saturday and Monday,
when the number of bales sold was 15,000, of which 8000
were to speculators. Business in the other kinds is dull, and
at the prices of last week.
The manufacturing districts complain more generally and
loudly of the badness of trade. Several mills have began to
work short time, and many spinners talk of doing so if trade
does not, ere long, improve. .

8,500 American, and 700 Surat, have been purchased by
speculators—principally on Saturday and Monday.
