Three Vols. 12mo. London, 1826. - Few works were ever honoured with a popularity so extensive and so permanent as the Arabian Nights En tertainments, they are the delight of youth and the re- Creation of age, and are to be found in every country where letters are . known or cultivated ; editions are perpetually multiplying, and yet are as constantly de manded, and were these tales lost to the world our Melo-dramarists would be deprived of the most fertile source they possess as materials for new pieces. It is known that the Arabian Tales were translated by M. Galland ; he did not, however, possess a complete copy ; and other manuscripts have since been die c.ivered which contain many tales which do not appear in the edition of M. Galland. M. Von Hammer was so fortunate as to meet with a complete copy in Egypt, containing numerous tales from which he made a selec tion, arid these are now translated by Mr. Lamb with great spirit; they posses the same interest as the old tales, exhibit the same faithful picture of Arabian man ners, and will, we doubt not, be read with equal avidity. The style of Mr. Lamb is elegant and unaffected, and the fidelity of the translation unquestionable. Traditions and Recollections, Domestic, Clerical, and Literary ; in which are included Letters of Charles 11. Cromwell, bairJax, Wokot, t_ipie, Cowper, Sir Walter Scott,lfc. By the Rev. R. Pot.wuaLs. 2 vols. Bvo. London, 1826. There are few works more attractive than the recol lections of a man who has mired much in the world, and who possesses sufficient tact to record what is really matter of interest; tuch a person is the Rev: Mr. Polwhele, who himself, a veteran in literature, has as sociated and corresponded with the principal men of talent of the. age. His work consists of biographical and critical notices, familiar letters, poetical pieces, &c. in the latter there are some original pieces by that cele brated satirest, Peter Pindar. The volumes were not written with the intention of publication, but they throw too much valuable light on the literature of the period to which they relate, to be tvppressed or con fined to a few family copies, and we are glad the Rev. Author has given them to the world. We have only room for a couple of extracts, which we select from the more amusing parts of the work. The first is an ac count of an ingenious but eccentric Cornish man: “ Daniel Gum was born in the parish of Linkinhorile, in Corn wall, about the commencement of the last century, and was bred a stone-cutter. In the early part of his life he was remarkable for his love of reading and a degree of reserve, even exceeding what is ob servable in persons of studious habits. By dose application, Daniel acquired, even in his youth, a considerable stock of mathematical knowledge; and, in consequence, became celebrated throughout the parishes. Called by his occupation to hew blocks of granite on the neighbouring commons and especially in the vicinity of that great natural curiosity, called the Cheme-wring ; he discovered near this spot an immense block, whose upper surface was an inclined plane. This, it struck him, might be made the roof of a habitation such as he desired ; suffic iently secluded from the busy haunts •f men to enable him to- pursue kis studies without interruption,' whilst it was contignotte to the scene of his daily tabour. Imme diately Daniel went to work, and cautiously excavating the earth underneath, to nearly the ext, at of the stone above; be obtained a habitation which he thought sufficiently commodious. The sides be. lined. with stone, cemented with Nate, whilst a chimney was 'made, by perforating the earth at one side of the roof. From the elevated spot on which stood this extraordinary dwelling, could be seen Dartmoor and &Moor on the . saw ; Hartland ou the north; • she seat and pUrt of Plymouth on the south; and St. Austell and Reach bilk en-the west; with all the interinediate beautitut sce nery. The top of the rock which roofed his house, served Daniel for an oliservatory, where ' at every favourable opportunity, be watched the motions of the heavenly bodies; and on the surface of which, with his chisel, he carved a variety of diagrams, illustrative of the most difficult problems in Staid, &e. These he left behind him, as evidences of th e patience and ingenuity with which he sur mounted the obstacles that his station in life had placed iu the way of kb mental improvement. " Bat the choice et his house, and tee mode In which he pursued his studies, were nut his only e ccentricities. His house became his chapel also; and he was never known is descend from the craggy mountain on whi.h it stood, to attend his pariah church or any other place of worship. " Death, which alike seizes oo thophOrkepher and tee fool, at length found out the retreat of Danki Guist, and lodged him in a house more narrow than that which lurked dug for himself." The following anecdote is a curious instance of the state of Cornwall as to education s about the middle of the last century : "About eighty years ago,tbere was sepias of worship at a large village to the west of Truro, distant at least live miles front its parish church ; nor was there a Bible to be seen : but there were one Testament and one Common Prayer Book, which were bound together. Thil valuable rarity was the property of an old woman who kept the village inn, and, with the celebrated history of Ro binson Cruse* was deposited on a shelf in the kitchen. On a sum mer's day, ala rmed by a violent thunder storm, the villagers sought shelter under the loot which contained this sacred depo.it, as the oily pleats' safety. To make assurance doubly sure, anxious in "dry was made foe Jack, the landlady's apprentice, who had the rare good famine to have learnt his letters. This lad was con sidered ss prodigy, and, being found, was desired to commence roadie, prayers ii the terrified auditory, who were on their knees is the common drinking-romn. Jack went to fetch the prayer book from the shelf, where it had long rested beside its coo- Unfortunately, u things were in a state of confusion. he took down the latter, and falling en his knees, began reading as fast as he could. And, from sniscalllng some words and misspelling others, the boy had caudated eatetedna before the error was dis covered.. At length. having stumbled upon the man Ilident., his mistress cried out—" Why, Jock, thee bast got the wrong book ; sure dined reading prayers out of Robinson Crusoe." Jack felt this tersest as an insult offered to his superior understandinu s t pertinseeessly continued to read, declaring that " Itobituicis would as soon stop the thwader as the prayesubook." AN ELEPHANT HUNT. DIME DINNAM AND CLAPIPSZTON°B TRAVILI. My frievid Tirab, the Shout's Generalissimo, had long promised to kill me an elephant, as he expressed him self ; and this day, about noon, a messenger came to our hots, saying, that, after bunting an enormous male ele phant for five hours, they had at length brought him to a stand, near Bree, about ten miles Northaxist of Itorika. Mr. Toole and myself instantly .mounted our horses, and, accompanied by a Shouaa guide, we arrived at the spot where he had fallen, just as he breathed his last. Although not more than.twenty-five years old. his tusk men:wilts barely four feet six inches, he was an im mense fellow. His dimensions were as under : D. Za.

The one before me, which was the first I had seen dead, was, however, cutuideted as of more than common bulk and stature; sing' it was not until the Kanemboo of the town of Bree came out, and by atiractini bis attention with thtir 'efts, and tea s i ug hi m by 6urling spears at his more her relit she 4c r. itender parts, that the Moans (land to riisan,„ by ham-stringing the poor animal, they brought _ the ground, and eventually despatched him by repeated wounds in the abdomen and proboscis. Five leaden balls had ',duck him about the haunches in the course of the Utast, but. they had merely penetrated. a. few inches into his flesh, and appeared to give him but little uneasiness: The whole of the nest day, the road lead log to the spot where he lay was like a fair, from the tiorilbers *ha repaired thither, for the sake of bringing 'of a part of the flesh, which is esteemed by all, and even eaten in secret by the first people about the sheikh : it looks coarse, but Is better flavoured than any beef I found in the country. Whole families put themselves in motion, with their daughters mounted on bullocks, on this occasion, who at least helped as much Would fall to their share as would anoint their heads and persons plenti fully with grease at the approaching hug. The eyes of this noble animal were, though so extremely small in propor tion to his body, languid and expressive even in death. His head, which was b ought to the town, I had an opportu nity of seeing the next day, when I had it opened; and the smallness of the brain is in direct contradiction to the hypothesis that the size of this organ is in propor tion to the sagaciousness of the animal. His skin was a full inch and a half in thickness, and dark gray, or nearly black, hard, and wrinkled; his ears,_ large and hanging, appeared to me the most extraordinary-part about him, particularly from the facility with which he moved them backwards and forwards. His feet are round, undivided, and have four • nails er hoofs, for they cannot be called toes, two in the front of the foot, about an inch is depth, and two inches in length, which join each other with two smaller ones on each side. of the foot. In Africa, they are scarcely ever taken alive, but hunted as a sport, for the sake of tbtir flesh ; and also in order to obtain their teeth, which, however, as they are generally small, are sold to the merchants for a very pang profit. • The manner of hunting the elephant is simply this ; From ten to twenty horsemen single out one of these pOnderons animals, and, separating him from the flock by screaming and hallooing, force him to fly with all his speed ; after wounding him under the tail, if they can there place a spear, the animal becomes enraged. One horsemen then tides in front, whom he pursues ' with earnestness and fury, regardless of those who press on his rear, notwithstanding the wounds they inflict 011 him. He is seldom drawn from this first object of his pursuit, and at last, wearied and transfixed with spears, his blood deluging the ground, he breathes his last under the knife of some more venturesome hunter than the rest, who buries his dagger in the vulnerable part near the abdomen; for this purpose, he will creep between the animal's hinder legs, and apparently expose himself to the greatest danger: when this cannot be accom-. plished, one or two will hamstring him while he is baited in the front; and this giant of quadrupeds then becomes an easy prey to his persecutors.

His isoidship .Was the youngest son of Wil liam, first Viscchmt Barrington: He was born May 26, 1/54 ; was appointed Canon of Christ Church, 1761. In 1768 he was isoniinatted (anon Residentiary of St. Paul's, and was raised to the See of Llandaff in 1769. In 1782 he was promoted to the See of delis bury, whence he watt removed, in 1791, to that bf Durham. This Prelate died, therefore, in his 92d year, and had enjoyed the episcopal dignity for 57 years: He was twice married, but left no children. His first wife was Lady Diana Beauclerc, a daughter of the Duke of St. Alban's. His second Lady was - daughter and heiress of Sir John Guise, Bart. of Gloucestershire.— Tne late Bishop of Durham was gifted with uncommon tenderness and benevolence of disposition, and was ex empt from all unchristian harshness and asperity.— His acts of munificence, though deliberate and dis criminating, were as frequent as they were void of ostentation. His zeal for the general interests of Christianity was not sullied by an inexorable exclusion of doctrines which he himself did not approve from the pale of his charity, nor of ,their professors from hi,' confidence and bows*. At a well-known era in our modern history, when a large body of foreign ecclesi astics found that refuge in Protestant England which, amongst people of their faith and blood, had been de nied to them, the Bishop of Durham was a hospitable and generous protector to, many of those unfortunate exiles, while the dispenser and confidential director of his benefi.ence is stated to have been Mr. Charles But ler, a Gentleman well known for the alacrity and abi lity with which he has at all times maintained the cause of Catholicism against the doctrines, policy, and inte rests of the Reformation, and who never forfeited the friendship of the Bishop, though engaged in a contro versy with his Lordship's own Chaplains, Dr. Phill pacts and 'Mr. Townsend. In the distribution of the rich patronage afforded to him by the See of Durham, the Bishop has not been accused, at any period, of neglecting the poor and unfriended among his Clergy, or of raising the connexions of the-great and affluent by sacrificing to them the claims of justice and of duty. On the whole, the late bishop may, without unfair ness to the general character of the English Bench, be described as one of its most respectable members—em ploying great wealth with liberality, considerable power with moderation, much zeal with meekness and charity, and extensive learning with the industry of a conscien tious Clergyman, with the modesty of a Gentleman, and for the most important of all human ends—the service of true religion and virtue. His publications, which were first collected in 1811, consist of— A Sermon, preached before the Lords,Westminster Abbey, 1779. A Sermon, preached before the Incorporated Society for the Propagation of the Gospel in Foreign Parts, Feb. 17, 1775- A Sermon, preached before the Lords, Fast-day, -Feb.ll7, 1799: A Charge delivered to the Clergy of the Diocese of Salisbury, 1753.

' _. • —.... • c 1 • A Meeting of the Shareholders of this Company took pia. eon Saturday morning. Lord TICYNHAW took the Chair, and observed, that the Meeting had lietni called in consequence of the misrepresentations made is a' Morning Paper, wherein he was charged with receiving a sum of money from the Company. 'llls his Lordship' positively denied, or that he had ever received one six pence fmm any Company, with one exception. Another assertion of the same Paper was, that he was the founder of the Company ; but he held a letter in his hand, which proved that Mr. Hendricks was the founder; and Mr. H. having been at considerable out lay, expence, and personal trouble, claimed an indem nity. Mr. Hendricks had had 5001. to purchase shares for the benefit of the Company, when they were at a discount. His Lordship then proceeded to state the finances of the Company as they now stood. There were 2500 shares, 110 had been redeemed, which left the receipt, at 51. per share,l2o4l. of which 8101. was is the hands of Martin, Stone, and Co. another sum in the .hands of Fry and Co. The outstanding debts would leave a loss of about 10s. per shale; and he proposed that the money in hand should be divided, which would come to 51. per share, and the Company be dissolved. Mr. ANNICHINI said he could not consent to anything of the sort; I,ood. had bees given to Mr. Hendricks, expressly for the purchase of shares on account of the Company, and they were not forthcoming ; these shares he insisted, should be brought forward. Mr. NiewsrAN said, his Lordship, when he saw the Committee, actually promised that 41. 10s. should be paid upon each Shale before the 27th. The present proposition was a very different one. Lord TarpHAM said, the payment of the 41. 10s. de pended upon a contingency—upon the condition that all the Directors would defray their share of the ex penses incurred, and which the remA f t l ing, pl. per . shafe *mild be sufficient to liqitidita. :.'
