It has been a dull week for our Variety Fair, and the it ate of the market for the principal articles of traffic mnjr be quoted as follows. Domestic and political virtues re scarce but not in demand. J2asy con sciences go off slowly at low prices, as the ' tock offering of this article' is unusually large, the previous demand having stimul ated an enormous importation. Wealth, honor and luxury are actively inquired for, m but holders ara very firm and not nnxinu to part with their stocks. Warm weather is in great request, but Merriam has been unable to supply the wants of the market, as me sun cannrt be stimulated into a vig- orous shine. Rain water is abundant, in fact we are quite flooded with this staple; which will not be wanted in large quanti ties by the community until about the mid dle of July. ' ; To come down to particulars, intelligible sto your non-commercial readers, we. hare had very little excitement of any kind this week. Yesterday your correspondent found himself embedded in the largest and dens est crowd of the season, which had gather ed about the corner of Nassau and Fulton Sts., in the hope of catching a glimpse of tome of the returned Nicaraguans, who were reported to be refreshing themselves in a large beer saloon somewhere in that vicinity.. Thdy .were well known coadju tors of G'in. Walker, and had a vast num ber of friends about town, who were all anxious to share a drink with their old old familiars. The patriots looked rather used up, and did not appear to have brought back a considerable stock of any desirable commodity, with the exception of hair, of which they carried " a perfect jungle , on heads, chins and arms. Nicaragua is a better remedy for the beardless than any of your "Ointments," "warranted to ensure a full growth in six weeks." -i Business has been very quiet. Teas continue o bring very high prices, though there is no doubt that they have been rais- ed by speculators to the highest point they can possibly reach. Of course, endeavors will be made to bring prices up further, but we have reliable information from the China correspondence of a large house, which convinces us that the deSciency in supply will not be so great as has been anticipated. Take heart, then, ye innocent lovers of "the cup that cheers, but not in- ebnates." A vigorous investigation is now going on of a failure in the dry goods trade alleged to have been fraudulent. The long credits given in the dry goods trade and the careless way prevalent of trusting out large amounts to patties for whose responsibility there is little security, offers unusual induce ments to the dishonest. Business, too, is done here on too little capital. We know of houses doing n trade of about 935,000 per annum, of which they would clear a bout $6,000 if all their debtors paid them, who, on a capital of $6,000, hire a store at $3,000, pay about $2,000 to help of all kinds, and manage (o live dashingly on the remainder I Such a state of things, it is evident, mast bring aboafdisastrous results. The heiviest part of (he dry goods business, however, is done by large houses, whose capital and credit, would keep them afloat in the dullest of seasons. . Mrs. Cunningham still keeps before the public as the wife of the deceased Dr. Cunningham, claiming thi widow's por tion. At present, the public mind is evident- 7 re-actin? in htr favnr Th uftk has been very , chilly and unseasonable with frequent raine. The snow which has fallen deeply north of us, gives a frosty edge to the breezes from that quarter, and winter woolens are not yet thrown aside for. the gayer garments of spring. SINGULAR DIVORCE CASE. A person in rather a high position has just obtained from the civil tribunal of the Seine (in France) a separation from his wife, with the right of keeping bis child, in consequence of the following circum stances: The child hud the measles and the tnsdical attendant declared its life to be in danger; but the mother, neverthe less, continued to prepaie hei toilet Cor an erening party to which she had been invi ted. 44 You caanot leave the child; who is dying," exclaimed the husband. The wife replied that it wae ircpeesible for her lb re main away from the party without break ing her promise, and being guilty of a want Of politeness. The husband again remonstrated with her, but in vain ; she insisted on going to the party, if only for an hour. The hus band then informed- her that if she carried her uitesuioa into execution, the door would be c rosed" agaicut her on her return. The wife left for the party, but on her return low was refused admittance. The tribu "Bar has derided that the husband was per fectly justified, and has furthermore ruled that a wife who forsakes her child in ill Bess forfeits her conjugal affection.

The steamer Fulton, from Southampton, arrived at New York on the morning ol the 21st inst., bringing - Liverpool dales to the 8th inst. , The America arrived out on the 6ib inst. We received our files by the Fulton last night, and make up the following summa ry of news. lt is not of special importance : ENGLAND The English elections were all over with very few exceptions. There will be a large liberal majority in the new House of Com mons. So far the majority is 116. The amount of gold on the way to Eng land from Australia, the greater portion of which could not be far distant, is estimated at 2,500,000. ' The accouchmentof &uea Victoria, was daily expected. . ' James Douglas, Baron Douglas, died at his seat, Both well Castle, upon the Clyde, oa the 6th inst. The Times' Paris correspondent says that the unexpected increase of the Bank bf England's rate of interest had necessari-. ly affected French trade. ; On the other hand the new American tariff had encour aged manufacturers,. who were unticipa- I a I ting a profitat le business with the- United States General Ashburnham will havecommand of the military force going to China. In consequence of the spread of murrain in the north of Europe, England prohibits the importation of cattle, skins, etc., which. it is thought, will affect the provision trade. A murrain has also appeared among the Cattle of Austria. The wea her throughout England has been generally favorable tolhe crops. IRELAND. In consequence of the reduction of duties tn tea, sugar and coffee taking effect on the 7th instant an unusual amount of busi ness was transacted at the Dublin custom house. The number of entries amounted to nearly IU00, and the duty paid to up wards of 44.000. Air.

The diplomatic rupture between Austria and Sardinia is not likely to be adjusted ; but neither contemplate hostilities. italt. -The Grand Duke of Tuscanv has de clined to conclude with the papal Chair a concordat similar to that entered into by Austria . SWEDEN. The abolition of the sound dues has caus- very great satisfaction to all classes in Sweden, a the trade of the country is thus relieved from a yearly tax of no less than a million of rix- dollars, or the interest of capital of 20,000.000 rix dollars. The pro posed new tariff is a worthy addition to this treaty, and will place the customs law of Sweden on the most liberal footing, making free trade a reality in that country. ' Kiseu. The Emperor of Russia is said to have definitely given up bis intended journey to j xurope4 TUBXET. Reforms are progressing in Turkey. In two cases christian witnesses have given evidence against Turks in Bisnia. and in both cases the Mussulmaqs Were found guilty.

The commercial advices from Australia are unfavorable. - MONEY MAKING VS. ADULTERATION. Our London exchanges inform us that a baker in that city publicly advertises a re ward of two thousand five hundred dollars for the detection of any adulteration in the bread he bakes and sells and that since nobody has been able to obtain the reward y discovering the least impurity therein, the.bker of course making a great and rapiu iimune. i tinier wonnei man no ingenious Yankee, this side tbe water, has hit upon this simple method of getting rick m a hur ry. Certain it is thai the baker, grocer or ouier tradesman w nose goods and manu factures could be relied upon as utterly free from adulteration, would soon be enabled to retire upon his property. Who- would not send or go a mile lo be vtri that his bread, bieuit, grooad spices, floor, meals, sugar, coffee, &c , was healthy, pure, un mixed with drugs or other abominations, 1 J" . . mm . ... ana m tor tne use ot himself and bis fami ly.

On SundaT nisht last between twelve and owe .o'clock, a boarder ' at net of jour minioiiawt esiaoiisnmeni up town, wmie cnrnjr'ed in bis room at writing was start led ojr a steut rap from the direction of the head oT bis bed-, as- though some impatient spirit of a fcVdxs breed were about to storm the wall for -admission. In looking sud denly around, the geWt eman observed a large life sirred portrait upon the wall, to fill out.gradtia?ly, tfeerwihgly in has relief, and in his imagination life like. Foe moment he was pinned to the spot when a rapid rap or two again startled him to his senses, and the portrait suddenly collapsed into iis former rigid self, yet - still . keeping its two lustreless eyes upon him.; But be ing an unbe iever in spiritual rapping and the like, the sensible lodger shook off the remnant of his temporary fright and insti tuted a practical foquiry into the cause of the f fienomenon. ' isut none could bertm covered to answer for either the raps or the fillinjr out of the picture. There was no window nearahrough which even a hur ricane could affect sensibly the hanging of the portrait, the sasnee were tight in their places, and not in true reast liable to spring from their joints.;' 1 he room was searched thoroughly, no comer nor crevrte went unlocked and scraped, no" drapery tinth- wacked with the broom stick, no troset or bureau unthrtntened with the blunderbuss and no brick in the fire escaped a terrible poking. In the meantime the portrait fill out again, succeeded by the significant rap I be gentleman gave over the search ltn mediately and deserted tbe to: m, a convert to spiritualism. -.. csext morning the picture was carefully taken dbwn, when a hole formerly used tor a stove pipe was discovered behind it. And that was the spirit the wind did the "filling out," and th portrait frame the rap ping. Petersburg Express. . , ALARMING PHOTOGRAPHIC COU.VTERFTTS. J he Paris correspondent of the Boston Atlas gives tbe following alarming account of recent photographic counterfeits in that city : The science of photography has for some time past, been the rage amonz the vouner men of fashion in Paris, and has been car ried to great perfection by some of them. ut none to a greater extent than by M. Aguado, . whose successful studies from nature are wen Known among tne artiste of every coun ry. On Saturday morning, this gentleman sent word to the experts of me tsar.K ot trance that be bad at length succeeded so fully in the imitation of one of the thousand franc notes that he defied tbem to detect it; and to show his perfect conviction ot the impossibility of discovery, he warned tbem that tbe note would be presented at the bank between the hours of one and three. , According to this intimation the experts were assembled at the counter, and each note brought in was submitted to- their ex amination before it was accepted. The hour passed by and no false nte appear ed ; the whole of those specified lay. in a row spread out before the experts, who al ready crowed over the idea that M. Aguc do had not dared to hazard the experiment, when just as the clock struck three, in he walked, .smiling and ; triumphant, with a thousand franc note in his hand. "Well, have you detected my forgery," asked he, with the greatest coolness. "No," replied the head expm, "for the good reason that you never sent it." "Why, there it liesrright under your nose the third to the left; and here is the original that I took it from." The dismay of tbe expe ts may be im agined when,, after comparing-the two, they found it impossible to say which was the falsr. A council was held to deter mine the course to be adopted, as accord tng to report, a. great number of -these pho tographic notes were In circulation, and M. Aguado declared himself able to manufac ture any number of notes ina given time, I and that none shall be detected, either by i . . i 4 - signi or loucn. TL . . . . j no consternation created or the an nouncement is not to be described, and re port t"lls us that the bank has accepted tne oner ot a learned Jbnglish doctor rest dent here, to furnish a chemical prepara uon ci nis discovery, winch shall immedi ately decompose the photograph by the touch of a camel's hair brush, . dipped in tne liquid and passed slightly over the pnn ten lines, i ne adventurer has served to make us laugh, although rather jrrimly when it is considered that already the gicmci putuun ui iu notes in circulation may not be ab.e to stand ' the lest of the learned doctors brush. THRILLING ROMANCE. oume time since a uincinnnri paper re ceived and printed the first chapter of what promised to be a thrilling romance, in the expectation of being provided with the con eluding portions as they might be needed The chapter was very ingeniously .written and concluded by leaving its principal char acter suspended by the pantaloon from "a perpendicular precipice. It attracted the attention of the press, and inouiries began to be made concerning the continuation of tne story and the fate of its hero. Day af. ter day toe victimized publishers looked for the remaining chapters, but in ram they never came to hand.. Finding that' they had been sold, and wished to dm a stop to Lbe jokes their centempora-rtes were crack ing at their expenae, they briefly Coccludfd the story thus : v "Chapter, n Coctclusio. Afrejhang- mg to ine treacherous limb lor Jour weeks, bis pantaloons gave way, and -Charles Mel ville rolled Headlong over the yawning pre Cipice.

It appears that the senooima8ter refused the use of his school house for the purpose of boWing singing schools, which gave the young ladies great offei.ee. The ladies proceedings are thus narrated i ;:. . .'. "On Friday afternoon, everything being prepare!, seven buxom maidens suddenly made their appearance, in tbe school room, ann wunoui any tteremonj, seized hold ol th schoolmaster, placed a bac over his bead, conducted him to the door, where a tnree-cornerd rail was in readmess, upon which he was. phvctd, notwithstanding a stout resistance, ami borne off in triumph, much to the terror and consternation of the teacher and loose of the schoiaYs hot n the secret.' i After, carrying him a distance of aoout a ninrared yards they dropped tne:r ouruea. .! he leather grew furious and made an informatron of ihe facts before a magistrate at Torentum, and warrants were issued for the stVen youn: ladftsri the na ture of this charge brought against them we' did not learn.
