Now there are subjects which belong to fictionsuch ' as the vicissitudes , the passions , the character , which mirror human riatilre to itself ; and give it the pleasure of self-contemplation , perhaps with some warning or incentive in the lesson .

^ . * . ^^ romance reaciers sw ms uiajuiivy . . xxm ., p , muu , v ^ - ¦ casibns on which fiction may be employed to illustrate argument and enforce L moral—as where ah evil to be exposed must find its remedy , not in the acts of the legislature , but in the altered feeling of society ; or where the feause advocated is so much under the ban of prejudice that it can only be approached indirectly . Nay , narrated illustrations may familiarise to the multitude the doctrines already intelligible to the few ; but that is a delicate " task , since it requires the feeling which makes the artist in combination with ' the logic , or the command of facts which makes the statist ; and the faculties have seldom been . united , although a Harriet Martineau has proved that they are not incompatible . But we do not have a Harriet Martineau every day ; and when such a mind appears amongst us we must accept the good which it can confer , without expecting to make it a model for imitation either in art or polemics . Some sense of the unfitness of fiction as "auxiliary in discussing a subject not excluded from actual and open , if not triumphant debate , is shown' in the effort of the present writer to avoid ¦ working on the feelings : —which it is the very object of fiction to do . No doubt it would be barbarous to remove church-rates from the " category of " orders of the day , " with a bill soon to be consummated in an act , and to replace it arnon" iconoclastic agitations ; but that is the very reason why it
should not be made into a fiction . We must try the author by an alternative test : if she proposes to herself a career illustrating practical truths of the legislative order , auxiliary to debates in Parliament , we beseech her to } £ } ™ volume , and do solemnly warn her off a romance in aid of Mr . Brown on decimal coinage , or a melancholy tale pathetically supporting Sir Benjamin Hall ' s promised bill on Thames purification and arterial drainage . If , on the contrary , her object is to depict human nature as she finds it , struggling to develop itself amid hostile influences , then let her not eschew the argument that touches the feelings , but by all means avoid topics suited for leading articles rather than artists .

The Polytechnic Is At Present Exhibiting...
The Polytechnic is at present exhibiting a model of the town and fortifications of Sebastopol , together with the siege works of the Allies . The Belbek towards the north , and Tchorgoun in the direction of the east , are the limits of the representation , which , commencing at the Quarantine Inlet and Battery , includes Kamiesch , the monastery of St . George , Balaklava ( whence the course of the railway is followed ) , Kadikoi , the scene of the heroic Light Cavalry charge , the advanced positions of the British and Sardinians at Kamara and Tchorgoun , the rivers Tchernaya and Chulin , the Traktir Bridge and the ravine down which the Russians came in their last attack , the Mackenzie-road , winding along the sides of steep hills and commanded by numerous batteries , the Inkerman Lights , and the Star Fort and its outworks . Mr . Houvian , master of the National School at Stansted , Essex , is the modeller ; and he has very handsomely made a present of his work to the Polytechnic Institution . It will doubtless become an object of great attraction to the visitors , since a model , executed with such attention to minute details , cannot fail to give the ordinary newspaper reader a more definite idea of the scene of that gigantic struggle which even yet remains uncompleted . A model combines the advantages of a map and a picture with others peculiar to itself .

Money Market And City Intelligence. Frid...
MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday Evening , September 23 , 1855 . The Bank of England have increased their rate of discount , this week , from 4 J to 5 por cent . This had been anticipated in the Money-market during the last week ; and the 1 utids have been exceedingly flat , consequent on heavy sales . On ¦ Wednesday the fall was to the extent of one por cont . in Consols . The commercial state of tho oountry hardly warrants so severe a fall ; and it is probable that the puuhc , having now seen tho worst , will recover confidence , and reinvestments bo made . There has been little or no overspooulating ; and , indeed , the bargains , with the exceptions of real sales , have been positively nothing . In tho Foreign Stock Market , Turkish Six per Cent , has fallen very much . On Tuesday it was nominally at 88 to 80 . On Thursday morning , at one time it was quoted 81 , 81 $ . Later in the day buyers camo in , and it finally rallied to 85 at the close of yesterday evening . In tho Four per Cont . Guaranteed Turkish Stock the fluctuations were likewise of an extensive nature ; but it must bo remembered , with regard to this stock , that , despite of tho guarantee by the Governments of France and England , heavy instalments remain to be paid , and it is a question whefchor it will sotfclo down to its value until after January . Tho arrival of largo quantities of gold from Australia , undor ordinary circumstances , would have had tho effect of keeping up prices , but for some inexplicable reason it is ttisoovorea that tho Bank of Franco aro purchasers to the amount of one million and a half . Many conjectures aro afoot on this remarkable monetary movement , since it is evident that tho purchases are made with a heavy loss . Tho quidnuncs of Capol-oourt and tho Royal Exchange imagine it a device of Russia to got specie under cover of Franoe ; but this must bo spoodily discovered , wore such an intrigue on foot . In tho Railway Market groat depression continues , and with good reason ; even tho old and meritorious French and I ' orolgn Lines have felt tho shook . Canada Groat Wostorn , Canada Land , and Canada Government Six per Oont . Debentures maintain a Arm appoaranco amidst tho gonoral despondent state . Minos aro stagnant as regards those which aro dealt in rogularly in the Stock Exohangoj but amongst Jlritiah Minos there has boon groat speculation , several young and obscure mlnos having sample oro , with groat promiuo for tho future .

Supplies in the country markets are smaller this week than last , and it is expected a further falling off will take place next week . Prices have risen in America in proportion to the rise here .

Saidi Wheat is worth 63 s . to 56 s . cost , freight and insurance , Galafcz 73 s . to 7 fis . A cargo superior Ibrail sold at 78 s . cost , freight and insurance .
