1 Batch Of Books. We Have Several Books ...
tale , Woman's Life ; or , The Trials of Caprice . Who knows not the author of the Rose of Tisletoa / We have but one tiling to say of Woman ' s JLife— let all novel-readers send for it . ; it will entertain and charm them ; they will find in it nothing hackneyed , dull , or extravagant , but a beautiful story beautifully told . Self and Self Sacrifice s or , Nelly ' s Story , by Anna Lisle ( Groombridge and Sons ) , is an attempt by a young writer to illustrate the virtue of disinterestedness . We can approve her earnestness , and her intense sympathy -with the model heroine , -while wishing better success for her next essay in fiction . It is to be feared that the believing reader who purchases Mr . Bentley ' s Wealth : Hoto to Get , Preserve , and Enjoy It , must learn some of the lessons inculcated in Self-Sacrifice before he can carry out the modus operandi therein prescribed . Let us note , also , the appearance of two cheap translations—Victor Hugo ' s . Hunchback of Notre Dame , and Dumas ' s charming but disappointing story , Nanon , or Women ' s War , both published by Mr . Hodgson . From an American firm ( New York , Francis and Co . ) we have a handsome illustrated edition of Mrs . Horace St . John's Life of Audubon , which , curiously enough , is the only biography the Americans possess of their great naturalist . Among recent appearances let us mention , also , a fourth edition of the admirable volume on The Mormons , or Lettter-Lay Saints , edited by Charles Macltay . It has been enlarged , and carefully revised .

Theatrical And Musical Notes. The Second...
THEATRICAL AND MUSICAL NOTES . The second of the two operatic performances at Heb Majesty ' s Theatre took place last Saturday , the first being on the preceding Thursday . The success , as may have been anticipated , was immense , the hou ^ e being crowded to overflowing on both occasions .- —During the whole of the present week , moreover , Gkisi , Makio , and their attendant satellites have been pouring forth their
spring- « summer harmonies to the autumn frequenters of Drory 1 ^* 7 This night wall be the last of their brief season ; and if there be not a struS for places , ve shall conclude that there is something in the advent of NovernW inimical to the love of harmony . ^ uyemDer The first of . the Saturday Concerts , in connexion with which we made « nm remarks in our previous issue , took place last Saturday . The list of p erform ^ was not brilliant ; but probably some more attractive names will be lntroZw ? as the series proceeds . '"^ uauced Mr . Robson has reappeared at the Olympic in Medea . We are glad to fin , * that he acted with all his usual energy and power , notwithstanding- a v <* Z serious illness that he has had . The public has now again an opportunity rff seeing him in one of his most striking performances . . At the Haymarket , we have had another revival of one of the comedies nf past times , in the shape of Keynolds ' s Dramatist . Reynolds , we believe was one of the dramatic men of the time' about the commencement of this centurv whom Xeigh Hunt used to ' pound' into atoms beneath the critical pestle of the Examiner , for which youthful severities lie has latterly expressed some remorse though probably no newspaper writer of the present day would fail to do like ' wise -were these dramas now produced for the first time . In connexion with this particular eccentricity , Mr . Buckstone , Mr , Chippendale , Mr . W . Farrf . n and the new American actor , Mr . Murdoch , with Miss Talbot for the principal lady , do their best to keep the audience in good humour ; yet the thin * passes off but heavily notwithstanding . °
The Moon's Rotation. (7'Otke Editor Of T...
THE MOON'S ROTATION . ( 7 ' otke Editor of the Leader . ) Sir , —The letter of Mr . Best on the moon ' s rotation , which has appeared in the last Leader , will probably elicit many replies . I ask space in your " Open Council" for a few words on the subject . Mr . Best lays down five conditions , which he says are plainly indispensable to axial rotation . The two first are perfectly correct , the third is a very cool assumption that the matter in debate is exactly and even plainly as stated by Mr . Best and Mr . Symonds . tS If a rotating body , " says Mr . Best , " have along with axial , either orbital or rectilinear motion , every side or part of the rotating body must be upon each side of the line of motion , and must be equally distant from that line , upon each side , once during every complete revolution . " Here Mr . Best says very readily and easily , " either orbital or rectilinear motion , " but these are very different things , and it Is the difference between them that has set him astray in the present instance . That a body can have an orbital motion and always present the same , face to one side of the line , and that in order to keep the face to one side of the line , or rather to a point in the centre , it must have an axial motion , may be proved , I think , by an illustration used by Mr . Best for just the contrary purpose . He says : — " We ourselves are carried in a circle about the earth , once in every twenty-four hours ; but nobody ever dreamt of his having turned upon an axis within himself for that reason . "When a ship circumnavigates the earth , it conforms to all the conditions of the moon ' s supposed axial motion ; but it would appear very absucd to state that she turned upon an axis within herself , because of that circuitous journey . Now I take it to be the fact that a ship circumnavigating the globe does turn once on her axis in the course of her journey . JLet Mr . Best draw a circle to represent the earth , and draw the figure of a ship on what we will call the top of it , let him draw another exactly opposite , and will it not be plain the ship has taken a half turn ? Will not the masts in these cases point in opposite directions ? If the vessel could be thus turned upside down in any harbour before the eyes of Mr . Best , he would admit she waa taking a turn on her axis , but the fact is not changed by her having taken some months and a journey half round the world to accomplish it . In the same way if he will draw a likeness of himself on various parts of the earth '^ uirface , he will perceive that he is making in his joWney round the world what , if effected in one particular spot , would be called a regular somersault . In any part oC his travels he will not be seen standing on his head , the law of gravitation will always keep his feet _ towards the centre ; but let him compare his various positions with themselves , and seo if the line of Iub body does not change exactly as it would if he had been turning on an axis as fine as a knitting needle . Or let Mr . BeBt take a circular piece of wood and bore a emooth hole in the centre into which he can put his finger ; let him attach the piece of wood with an iron rod to a given point as a centre , and turn tlie whole apparatus round , having his linger in the hole and keeping the palm of his hand always an the same
direction ; then he will not only see \} Vit feel the piece of wood turning on his finger , in other words turning on its own axis ; after which , perhaps , he will believe in the axial motion of the moon . I am , sirj your most obedient servant , Dublin . T . D . S .
The Committee For Conducting The Next Mu...
The committee for conducting the next musical festival , proposed to he held at Norwich in the autumn of 1857 , have had a meeting within the last few days when it was unanimously resolved that Mr . Benedict should be invited to act as conductor . It was also decided tliat the prices of admission should return to the old standard , viz ., 1 / . Is . for the patron's gallery , and 10 s . 6 d . for reserved seats in other parts of the hall . Steps are to be taken to obtain the usual guarantee fund , and application is also to be made to the Norwich town-council for permission to erect a new orchestra in St . Andrew's Hall , which is about to be repaired .

¦;¦¦¦ ¦ . ——?— : — . . . . ¦ . ¦¦¦¦¦ :. ¦ London , Friday Evening , October 31 , 1 S 5 C . The public lias been investing all the week , and the general feeling is better . Occasionally ( as when the Moniteur issues a ridiculous and absurd warning , and the Times answers it ) the funds droop a little , Vut the appearance of the Money Market has become decidedly healthier . Money is esisy inside the Stock Exchange for temporary purposes , and the arrival of the James Baines and the West Indian mail steamer , hourly looked for , will bring ; relief in the shape of bullion . The gigantic enterprizes hinted at by Russia requiring forty millions of gold , will become a nine days ' wonder if the Credit Mobilier , which seems ready to dashat everything with your true gambler ' s spirit , is hindered from contracting to ilnd capital- The 3 ? rench organ herein London hints at the scheme being discountenanced and to be forbidden by the French Emperor . It would be a line drain for the restless Parisian and London speculators to throw their money into , never to return . The Consols ' monthly settling is now close at hand , and the heavy contango price of | per cent , that is asked shows it is a bull account . Before the day , however , many real purchases may bo made and the presont fiction converted into a n ality . Foreign stocks are all better , except Russian Five 9 , over which there hangs a heaviness . Turkish Six per Cent , close to-night at 90 f , 01 , and the Turkish Guaranteed Four per Cent , at 1 Q ( fi , i . Foreign Railway shares are nearly tho same . A better feeling exists regarding Luxembourg and Belgian lines ; Ccy Ions are about 1 premium ; Great Western of Canada have recovered their depression , and liavc risen to 247 . 10 s . per share- Heavy shares , such as Leeds , Midlands , South-Westerns , London and North-Westerns , all rule better . Great Northerns andl ) overs are likewiseiii demand- Joint-Stock Hanks arc very quiet , but little business doing in them . Crystal Palace shares are very heavy , owing to the committee of the Stock Exchange having to complain of the conduct of the directors , and with regard to their translcrs , and threatening the removal of the company from the authorized Exchange List . This matter , however , has been subsequently explained , and duo notice given to the committee . Alining shares arc in demand particularly . Sortridge Consols , Lady Bertha , United Alines ( Tavistock ) , Alfreds , South Tolgus , and the Bassets . The settlement for shares and foreign stocks lias just taken place . The settlement was n very light ono . Tomorrow being All Saints ' , is a holiday .
