more especially do we protest against the moral of the story called " Th < Stone Tower , " in which a youth is smashed to pieces for working on i Sunday . We are also inclined to quarrel with the overheaped " wordiness ' of the literary style , even though it be sometimes a plethora of good blood , for it must be admitted that a great deal of grave , earnest , German beauty shines through the somewhat German idiom of the English . Saving the pious whine before alluded to , there is a great deal of moral sweetness , combined with picturesque description , in the tale called " Zaccheus . " A distorted and ugly dwarf , with a noble soul , undertakes to go up among some savage giants inhabiting high and perilous mountains , to convert them to Christianity ; and he succeeds . He is thus represented , Bible in hand , climbing a steep ravine : — His book , meanwhile , he carried with infinite difficulty in his arms , laying ifc ( as you may have seen some little three-year old child going up stairs burthened with a darling dog or cat ) tenderly and carefully on each step , to which he himself afterwards climbed ; and thus , painfully lifting it , and after it his own poor , crooked body , from step to step of this rough , staircase , worn by the white feet of the water in the everlasting rock , he at length reached the summit of the pass ; and when the rosy flush of the morning was injected , like life-blood into the cold sky , its lovely tint felt soft and warm on the wan face of the wearied dwarf , who had sunk exhausted on the grass of the valley , and lay sleeping on the very edge of the precipice up which he had so bravely climbed . JPuss in Boots . Illustrated ty Otto Speckter . JSTew Editjon . John Mur >' ay . The charming nursery tale , familiar to all of us , is here charmingly illustrated in a little eighteenpenny book—a perfect gem of a present for the young ones . Otto Speckter is a German artist ; and his drawings have the true German perception of the grotesquely ideal . To look them over is like getting into a perfectly new region—a sort of grey , sunless , shadowless , old-world state of things , seen through a film of hovering , dream-like romance . The cat , too , is admirably discriminated and dramatically varied through the different adventures .

MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . London , Friday Evening , Dec . 21 , lH 5 > , The Consols market sinoo last week has kept up very firmly . The now Swedish alliance treaty and Omar 1 ' hoIiiih reported victory at JCutais contributing to counteract the effect of certain real sale of utook by the Government Broker . The Uuar party hurdly yot duspond , but the infatuation of the people who will Btill believe in peace—on no aulllolcnt grounds—tempts them to buy in all thu markets in a reckless manner . Vhe Gy . ur having gut hi . t loan will Hurely try another fall , and give up nothing . The markets muati ' eol this— loana in prospect , and renewed ellortH on the part of the Allies Will surely depress the funds . At present tho Hebrew speculators , acting on AiiHtrlau iuforuiation —for , after all , ltothaohild in one hciiso governs Austria , spite of JPopoa and Kaislrs—believe in the possibility of JiUBslu accepting tho terma proposed . The Stock Exchange Committee have Issued a notice to tho members of the 1 tonne , warning them againM . the Jlugsiun louu , nnd having any deuUngs with it in any way , JUnllwny Shares arc Jirm . The Ureut-Western Bears
have had a fright , and are buying stock largely . The shares have been down at . > 4 this week . Eastern Counties do not 1 seem to lose ground . . French and Eiist Indian . Railway Shares about tlie same . Western of Canada are greatly inquired after , and the receipts on that line continue to be enormous—nearly double over last year . Crystal l ' ulacc Shares are nearly the same No business doing in Mines . Prices in lloyal Mail , Peninsular , and Oriental General Screw . Steam are well supported . At four o ' clock—Consols closed for January 10 , opening 88 ? , I . ¦
CORN" MAHKET . Mark-lane , Friday , Dec . 21 , 1855 . The supplies of English and Foreign Wheat since Monday have been moderate . The trade continued in an inactive state , and will most likely remain so till the result of the Peace negotiations is known . Meanwhile holders are firm , and the little business doing nt about Monday ' s rates . Barley and Oats also meet with very little demand , and prices remain without alteration .

: to Madame Goldschmidt could not be found ; and he has already corrected in a great measure those deficiencies in the . chorus and the orchestra which were a little too conspicuous at first . Miss Dolby has , once or twice , almost divided the applause of the crowded audience with the bhiifidaire s Mr « Lockev is always pleasing , conscientious , and correct ; and Mr . Hamilton Braham ' s recitation is so effective that , if he would but renounce singing , he might almost justify his name . Mr . Mitchell announces the Creation for Thursday next .
MADAME JENNY GOLDSCHMIDT LIND AT EXETER-HALL . Madame Jenny Goldschmidt Lind has returned to us somewhat thinner in person , and perhaps somewhat worn in looks , but the voice is unimpaired in beauty and the sacred fire of her art burns brightly as in the I former time . In the Creation and in the Elijah she has displayed the very ' highest qualities of a wonderful organ , and of the most perfect discipline and ! cultivation in its exercise . In all passages demanding power and intensity of expression , her genius is supreme . ! It . is impossible not to regret that so consummate a dramatic artist should be lost to the stage , but . it is easy to perceive that , in Exeter-hall , Madame ! Goldschmidt is more at home than on the boards . | The performances , of the oratorios have been on the whole satisfac- i tory . A more admirable conductor than M . Benedict , or one more congenial

NEXT WEEK AT THE THEATRES . The Pantomirie world is in full activity of preparation from Bow-street to Sadler ' s Wells , from the Strand to Shoreditch . All the world ( except the blind man ) must be aware by this time that Professor Anderson has taken the "Theatre Royal , Covent Garden , " ( how pleasant it is to h ^ ar the old name again !) for the production of what his advertisements modestly describe as " The Pantomine of 1855-1856 . " We have glanced at the programme ' of " the Pantomine " which is entitled , " Ye Belle Alliance ; or Harlequin Good Humour and the Field of the Cloth of Gold , " and a very learned production ( pace Charles Kean ) it appears to be . The subject seems a little faded , but it is a pleasant one enough , and affords ample opportunities for the patriotic and national " business . " We can scarcely expect too much from the genius of the Wizard and his acute experience in mechanical contrivances on so magnificent a stage as Covent Garden . And when we add that the Pantomine has been invented by Mr . A . Harris ; that Mr . Beverley has painted the scenery ; that the music is by Mr . Loder ; and that the Clown is Mr . Flexmore , we have said enough to stimulate the curiosity of our readers . At Drurv Lane we are promised " Hey , Diddle , Diddle , " a sufficiently vague and expansive title , but full of promise to the " younger branches of the family . " Tom Matthews and Bolisno are the two Clowns . The Havmarket Bill is very promising . " The Butterfly's Ball and . the Grasshopper's Feast ; or Harlequin and the Genius of Spring ; ' suggests something more delicate and dainty thnn the ordinary Christmas fare . The pretty Miss Mary Bkown is the Columbine again this year . We have heard that the drawings for the insect costumes in the Butterfly Ball have been prepared with peculiar care and are very elaborate and fanciful . ^ The Adelpiii as yet announces only a " Christmas Novelty . We believe this novelty is an extravaganza " from the pen of the best of our burlesque writers , founded on the undying old history of " Jack the Giant Killer ; " and we have also heard that Madame Celeste herself will personate ' Jack . " The Olympic promises a Fairy piece ; and a . the little Strand , " Harlequin Black-eyed Sue ; or All in the Downs . " Sadler's Wells , oi course , has a good old , traditional pantomine , and a merry one , we will be bound . And so , once more , the theatres which echo all the year our vices , and our follies , and our struggles , will be sunny with the harmless looks , and bright with the laughter of a thousand homes . Happy is the man who has the heart to enjoy Boxing Night . _____
