and certainty of ordinary Print.-This is saying a good deal for itself, but the title-page is very fairly borne out. It is the best book on the subject we have seen, and a decided improvement upon many of the slow systems extant. To all who desire perfection in this difficult art, we recommend the purchase of Mr. Foster's treatise. Memoirs of the celebrated Eugene Aram, who was executed for the Murder of Daniel Clarke in 1759; with some Account of his Family and other Particulars, collected, for the most part, above Thirty Years ago. By NORREYSON SCATCHERD, Esq., Author of the " History of Morley," &c.— The life of this extraordinary man has long been the subject of controversy with reference to his guilt or innocence. The author of this curious little book has taken uncommon pains in the elucidation of the mysterious subject, and his views are given with remarkable earnestness. The subject has lately been revived in the public mind by the silly discussion of the philosophers at Newcastle on Eugene Aram's skull. Mr. Scatcherd seems to say that the real skull was lost sight of in London many years ago. Analytical Considerations on the Art of Singing, containing an Account of the various Styles of Singing prevalent in the principal Countries of Europe, classed under the heads of Sacred, Popular, and Theatrical. By ANDREW COSTA, Professor of Music, and Honorary Member of the Philharmonic Society of Cracow.-The well-earned reputation of this distinguished artiste is a sufficient guarantee of the worth of this work, and must assuredly promote its success. The whole art of singing is laid down, as far as words can do it, in a clear and truly scientific manner, with many useful and important hints for the improvement and preservation of the voice. A Brief History of Christ's Hospital, from its Foundation by King Edward VI. Sixth Edition. With Six Illustrations and a List of the Governors. By J. L. WILSON.-The fact of this little work having attained its sixth edition is a fair criterion of its merit and usefulness. It contains the whole, true, and particular account of this most excellent establishment. We have been delighted by looking over the list of the many high-minded and accomplished men who have owed their education to the Blue Coat School. LIST OF NEW PUBLICATIONS.

The harvest has been happily secured during the late favourable weather. There can be no doubt but that the facilities afforded by the establishment of steam navigation between this country and America will be productive of the most important consequences to both countries. On each occasion, we understand, there have been more passengers for the steam-ships than could be conveyed. The effect also of our railroads is beginning to be felt. The alterations in the mail communications between London and the West Riding of Yorkshire, which are about to take place in consequence of the whole line of railway between London and Manchester being opened, will, it is understood, be made on the quarter-day, the 5th of October, when the morning mail bags for Rochdale, Halifax, Bradford, and Leeds, will leave London at nine or ten o'clock in the morning via Manchester, and will be forwarded by the Manchester and York mail, which leaves Manchester at eight o'clock in the evening of that day, so that the morning letters and papers from London, which are despatched on the forenoon of one day, will arrive in Leeds at two o'clock in the morning of the following day. Already the London morning papers, by an arrangement with the railway proprietors, arrive in Leeds, by the Manchester mail, about sixteen hours after their publication in London. PRICES OF THE PUBLIC FUNDS, On Tuesday, 25th of September. ENGLISH STOCKS. Bank Stock, 208 to 9.-Three per Cent. Consols, 93 seven-eighths to 4.-Three per Cent. reduced, 94 seven-eighths to 95.-Three and a Half per Cent., reduced, 102 and aquarter.-Exchequer Bills, 698. to 718. prem. FOREIGN STOCKS.

MONEY MARKET REPORT.-Tuesday Evening, Sept. 25.-By the advices from Hamburgh the price of gold is 437 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 31. 17s. 10 d. the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13.11, and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 84, it follows that gold is 1.04 per cent. dearer at Hamburgh than in London. The premium on gold at Paris is 84 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3l. 17s. 10 d. the ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 25 361, and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 42, it follows that gold is 0.24 per cent. lower at Paris than in London. The course of exchange at New York on London is 109 per cent., and the par of exchange between England and America being 109 23-40 per cent., it follows that the exchange is 0.22 per cent. against England. The Stock Exchange was but thinly attended to-day, and the business was more than usually unimportant. The funds remain with scarcely a variation. Consols for money were 937 to 4, and for account 94 to 1. Bank Stock, 208 to 9; India Stock, 264 to 5. Exchequer bills, 69s. to 71s. premium. A slight advance took place a short time before the close of business in Dutch stocks, the 6 per Cents. leaving off at 1023 to 3, the 21 per Cents., 54 to. In other foreign securities but very little was doing. Spanish were still further depressed, the Active, with the May coupons, closing at 18 to; Portuguese 5 per cents., Oct. 1838.-VOL. XXIII.—NO. XC. H 34 to 5; the 3 per cents., 22 to 3. Brazilian were 83 to 4; Mexican, 223 to 31; Columbian, 243 to 54. Railway shares were not in such brisk demand, and the former quotations of several were not maintained. Great Western receded to 16 to 17; Southampton (New) to 22 to 3 premium; London and Birmingham were 85 to 7; Manchester and Birmingham, 3 to 1 premium; Southampton, (Old,) 2 to 1; Brighton, 17 to ; Blackwall, 1 to discount.
