COURT OF PROBATE. BARNARD V. BURROUGHS AND WIFE. The hearing of this case was resumed this moiling. The defendants propounded the will of Jemima Bralley, dated the Ist of September, 1860, of which they hal ob tained probate in common form. The plaintiff, who one of the nieces of the deceased, cited the defendants to zing in the probate, in order that it might be revoked and pleaded in oppos tion to the will undue execution, irPapa city, and undue influence. The deceased, who had Den a housekeeper in a gentleman's service, had saved about £l,OOO. In the summer of 1859 she went to lodge A the house of Mr. and Mrs. Burroughs,in Canterbury-rmiKen nington-road. At the end of 1859 she had an atttck of paralysis,and was attended by Dr. Iliffe, who practiseein the neighbourhood. She required constant attendance and good nursing, and Mr. and Mrs. Burroughs and their daughter (Mrs. Smith) were very attentive to her She had a brother (Edward Bradley) and some nephews and nieces ; but she was not on very friendly terms with the nephews and nieces, and objected to their visiting hu.. She had made wills distributing her money among the diferent members of her family, and in February, 1860, ale ex pressed a desire to make a new will. Mr. Roffey, e i f rk to Messrs. Chester, solicitors, was called in, and she instructed him that she wished to leave £2OO to Mrs. Burroughs, £5O to Mrs. Smith, and the residue to her brother Edward. 1. will was prepared in accordance with these instructions, ard was duly executed on th e 28th o f F ebruary. In the folDw i ng August she again sent f or M r. Roffey and gave instructions a codicil. A cod i c il was accordingly prepared, but when it was read over t o h er s h e said it was not quite correct, as she wished her brother to have the Turkish bonds inwhich £3OO or £lOO of her money was invested. Mr. Roffey sug gested that it would be better to make a fresh will. She acquiesced, and another will was prepared. By this will a life interest in the money invested in Turkish bonds was given to Edward Bradley, and the residue together with the Turkish bonds on the death of Ed ward Bradley, was given to Mrs. Burroughs, with the exception of a legacy of £5O to Mrs. Smith. On the Ist of September, 1860, Dr. Iliffe went into her room with the draught will, and asked her to state what disposi tion she wished to make of her property. She answered clearly and without prompting, and her answers corres ponded with the will. Mr. Roffey then came into the room, the will was read over, and she executed it by signing her mark, Mr. Roffey and Dr. Iliffe being attesting witnesses. SHERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) PELLITT V. THE LONDON, BRIGHTON, AND SOUTH COAST RAILWAY COMPANY. This was an action to recover a sum for three bottles of wine alleged to have been abstracted from a parcel intrusted to defendants for carriage. The plaintiff did not appear, and Mr. Pook for defendants applied for costs. The Company had brought up six wit- nesses to answer this case, and some of them had come all the way from Hastings. His Honour--I will allow 15s. costs. Mr. Pook—You see that the honesty of some of defen dants' servants has been attacked, and we are here to vin dicate it. We are compelled to come, and so perhaps you will allow a little more. His Honour—l cannot allow more than 15s. Costs allowed to defendants. SALTER V. THE LONDON GENERAL OMNIBUS COMPANY. This was an action to recover for damage to a cab, Mr. Sorrell, of Mark-lane, appearing for the company. The case was a very short one as regarded evidence, and a police-constable called by plaintiff deposed to the nature of the collision. Defendants' witnesses contradicted each other directly upon one very important fact, and His Honour remarked that it would be as well to remem•• ber what the officer had sworn. Mr. Sorrell was compelled to admit that his witnesses had not turned out very satisfactorily, but the constable had not shown negligence on the part of defendants' driver. His Honour—Very well; we will ask the officer who was in fault. Officer—Oh the omnibus. (Laughter.) His Honour—There, Mr. Sorrell, now I must find for the plaintiff, with costs. MARKETS-THIS DAY.

To-day's market was but moderately supplied with beasts, in, for the most part, middling condition. Prime Scots, &c., moved off steadily, at full prices. Otherwise, the beef trade was in a sluggish state, at Monday's currency. The 0e per cies. • ...Jeep, LIAe ..., was rather limited, were unaltered in value, but the inquiry for them was somewhat heavy. The best Downs realised 5s 8d per 81bs.

Nothing doing. POLICE-THIS DAY. MARLBOROUGH-STREET. A CAB PROPRIETOR CHARGED WITH RECEIVING STOLEN Com—Robert Smith, in the employ of Mr. G. Charles Northcote, a city gentleman, was charged with stealing some corn, the property of Mr. Henry Souter, livery stible-keeper of Queen-street, Cheapside, and W. Newton, a cab proprietor, of Pimlico, was charged with receiving the same with a guilty knowledge. Wm. D. Smyth defended Newton. The prisoners were watcueu o , l...A.necaB;(lrs by Dawson, 301 A, and Butcher, 137 C, and Newton was seen buying corn of Smith which had been given him to supply the horse belonging to Mr. Northcote. The case having been gone into, Mr. Knox said it was a class of theft of a very serious nature, horses being starved in order that the persons steal ing the corn might get some paltry gain out of it. In this case the proper food was supplied and the horse deprived of it, and the wellbeing of an animal of considerable value concerned. He should commit both prisoners for trial. Mr. Smyth applied that bail might be taken for Newton, but Mr. Knox refused. ROBBERY AT VERREY's.—Emily Jones, barmaid at Mrs. Harriet Verrey's, 229, Regent-street, was charged, before Mr. Knox, with stealing some spoons and forks, the pro perl y of her mistress. Thomas Moore, 384, of the City police, said he went yesterday afternoon to Mr. Lawless, a pawnbroker, in Far ringdon-street, and from information he there obtained he went to 229, Regent-street, and saw the prisoner there. Having cautioned her that she need not answer any ques tions without she thought proper, he asked her if she had been to Farringdon-street that afternoon and offered any plate for sale. The prisoner replied that she had, that she was sorry for it, and she had stolen the articles from her mistress, Mrs. Harriet Verrey. Henry Hearn, assistant to Mr. Lawless, produced some spoons and forks offered for sale by the prisoner the pre vious afternoon, and said that seeing the name on the articles he detained them and sent for the police, when the prisoner ran away. In answer to Mr. Knox, the witness said the prisoner represented the articles as the property of her mother, Mrs. Verrey. _ _ Bernard Stearnen, waiter at Mrs. Verrey's, identified the property, and the prisoner, who made no defence, was com mitted for trial. WE STMINSTER. ASSAULTING AND WOUNDING.—John Conway was Placed at the bar, charged with assaulting and wounding his wife with a hatchet. Mary Conway, the wife, whose arm was bandaged, said she lived in Cooper's-court, Dacre-street, Westminster. On her coming home yesterday afternoon, at five o'clock, she found the defendant intoxicated, and some words conse quently occurred between them. After abusing her he seized a hatchet and wounded her with it in the arm. Mr. Paynter—Did you lose much blood. Prosecutrix—l bled very much, but I have not come here for any punishment of him. I want to have an opportunity of getting my own living without him, and not to be ill used by him. Defendant said she had beat him. Mr. Paynter said that he must remand him, to have an opportunity of seeing how her wound progressed. A DISGRACEFUL WlFE.—Mary Smith, a woman of dis sipated appearance, was charged with being drunk and creating D. uistui John Parish, 140 B, said that the defendant came to the station last night intoxicated and annoyedlher husband, who was employed there as a time-keeper. He was obliged to remove her, as she created a great obstruction, and was an annoyance to passengers as well as her husband. Mr. Paynter—ls there anything known of her ? Witness—She has repeatedly been there drunk. Her husband is a very respectable quiet man, who fears he will lose his situation by her misconduct. The husband stepped forward and implored the magis trate's protection. He would be deprived of the means of supporting himself and family if she was not restrained. She would not let him pursue his occupation. Defendant said she was very sorry. She would not drink any more. Mr. Paynter—Your conduct is most disgraceful. You are not content with neglecting your duty to your family, but want to get your husband out of employ. She was committed for a month. SMITHFIELD CLUB CATTLE SHOW.—Yes t erday being the last day appointed for the reception of implements intended for exhibition at the ensuing Smithfield Club Cattle Show, the Liverpool-road and all the approaches to the Agricultural Hall, Islington, were from an early hour in the morning and throughout the day completely blocked by the ponderous machinery arriving in rapid succession. In the interior the bustle and excitement, and the general note of preparation resounding throughout every portion of the structure, were equally great; but by the judicious arrange ments carried out, under the superintendence of Mr. Samuel Sidney, the secretary of the hall proprietors, and Mr. B. T. Brandreth Gibbs, the hon. secretary of the club, there was not the slightest confusion. Amongst the stock to be exhi bited there will be several specimens sent from the Royal Flemish Farm at Windsor, under direction of Major-Gen. Wemyss, the royal land steward. The stewards for the present year are—For beasts, long..woolled sheep, and pigs, Mr. Charles Stokes, Mr. Samuel Ans te y , and Mr. Richard Milward ; and for short-woolled and cross-bred sheep : Mr. T. B. Northeast, Mr. H. Thurnall, and Mr. Wm. Fookes. Mr. John Clayden has been elected chairman of the board of directors of the Agricultural Hall Company, in the room of the late Mr. Jonas Webb, and it is intended to hold a genera l meeting of agriculturists at the hall on Frida y . the 12th (last day of the show), for the purpose of raising a testimonial to the memory of that gentleman. Yesterday evening the large mass of the root, seed, and implement stands were in their places in the galleries; and although Mr. Bird, the general superintendent of the works, re peatedly tested with reference to the enormous weight they were bearing, there was in no instance a deflection amount ing to the 16th part of an inch. To-morrow (Friday) will be the last day for the reception of cattle. The traveller who has visited Toronto will be sorry to hear that that very fine hotel the Rossin.-house was burnt down on the 13th November. Two of the crowd as sisting to remove property were killed by the floors falling. Steps were taken on Saturday towards rebuilding it, as its exit tence is of some importance to Toronto, and those pos sessing property in the neighbourhood show every disposi tion to aid in doing so, a course of proceeding the more readily adopted from the high character which the princi pal proprietors, the Messrs. Rossin, bear. The loss is esti mated at 200,000 dols., and the insurance is only to the extent of 80,000 dols. Affairs in Grand-Ducal Hesse appear to be taking a rather unsatisfactory turn. The address in reply to the speech from the Throne, drawn up on the principles proclaimed by the Nationalverein, could not be agreeable to the sovereign, who has refused to receive it. The Cham ber then resolved, as the deputation would not be admitted to send its address in writing. This opposition between the Legislature and the Crown is to be regretted in a country prudently governed, prosperous, and where the most pro.• found tranquillity prevails among the inhabitants.

London : How the Great City Grew. By George Rose Emerson, author of " Sebastopol, the Story of its Fall," Routledge and Co. One of the peculiar features of modern times is the change which has taken place in the position of those who cater intellectually for the public. Formerly, when newspapers were unknown, and circulating libraries existed not even in idea, the unhappy author was forced to hang on to some would-be Mecenas, to pander to his vanity by most fulsome dedications, and to thankfully exist on the crumbs which fell from his table. But now, with the public for a patron, the writer can gain wealth or enjoy independence. Toe income of the success ful novelist may vie with that of the successful acrobat, and the journalist, if found sometimes to echo vox populi, may also in turn guide it. One drawback to the vocation of the latter is, in the opinion of some, the ephemeral nature of his pro ductions. Based, of necessity, on the topics of the day, their interest when the day is done expires; and articles written for newspapers, however good their style, however sound their views, will only hear reprinting when the subject is of historical value or permanent interest. Such, for instance, are Russell's letters on the Crimean campaign and Wingrove Cooke's letter on China ; and with them we may class the extremely interesting volume now before us. Originally written for the columns of the Weekly Dispatch, in illustration of the splendid map of London issued by the pro prietors the articles form, collected, the most com plete and most readable history of the great metro polis that has hitherto appeared. The amount of research they evince is enormous, the plan is most comprehensive, and the style is eminently agreeable. Indeed we doubt if it would be possible, in the same compass, to give a greater amount of informa tion in a more entertaining form. Beginning with the earliest times, Mr. Emerson describes the City under its my'hical, Britisn, itolxmn, Savor', and medieval aspects; and then, taking the suburbs, each separately, he tells whence sprung their names, with what great men's memories they are associated, what remarkable events have occurred in their vicinity, and how their rural charms have fled before the ruthless strides of the demon of bricks and mortar. But our readers will gain a better idea of the nature of the work if we allow the author to speak for himself, as in the following extracts : INTRODUCTION. London is a phenomenon so familiar that we scarcely appreciate its greatness. It is only when we appeal to the records of the past, gather together the scattered threads of topography woven by local inquirers, and call in the aid of statistics to the task, that we can fairly estimate the cha racter of the wonderful aggregate of towns and villages which we call London. We sometimes speak with amaze ment of the rapid growth of the cities of the New World, of the development in a few years of a few huts in a Mis• sissippi swamp or a Canadian clearing into a busy town; but London furnishes an endless succession of such won ders, and we scarcely note the fact. The infallible cen sus returns make us acquainted with some surprising matters. In iB5l, London had a population of 2,362,236 : in 1861, of 2,803,034, showing an increment in the decennial period of 440,798. More people, therefore, live in London than in the whole of 'Switzerland or Denmark; more than twice as many as in Norway, Hanover, or Saxony, and nearly as many as in Scotland. 'When the census was taken in 1851, there were 305,933 inhabited houses in the metropolitan district; ten years later there were 362,890; the increase therefore was 56,957. A comparative view of other large towns will best enable us to estimate the real value of this enormous increase. In the number of inha bited houses, London has added to itself, within ten years, nearly another Liverpool, Birmingham, or Manchester (exclusive of Salford) ; four Nottinghams, Prestons, or Glasgows ; nearly three Huddersfields or Salfords. The increase of inhabitants has been very nearly equal to the entire population of Liverpool, more than equal to that of Manchester and Salford together, and considerably above that of two Sheffields. We will put the increase in a still more familiar point of view, and say, that in respect of size, as indicated by the number of inhabited houses, London adds every year to itself a Cambridge, or Exeter, or North ampton, or Plymouth, or Oxford, or Worcester; two Bedfords, or Durhams, or Lancasters ; and in respect of population, a Coventry, or Derby, or Southampton, or York, or Swansea ; two Canterburys, or Colchesters, or Lincolns, or Shrewsburys. In short, nearly one-seventh part of the entire population •of England and Wales reside in the metropolitan district. Briefly, then, modern London comprises the old city, the neighbouring city of Westminster, and six Parlia mentary boroughs—Marylebone, Finsbury, and the Tower Hamlets on the north side of the Thames; and Lambeth, Southwark, and Greenwich on the south, and several out lying districts, now part and parcel of the metropolis. The city proper, that is, the old Rorsan Londinium and the city suburbs, or parts without the walls. occupies an area of 725 acres, and contains 97 parishes within" and 11 " wirh uut." The city and Parliamentary boroughs together have an area of 50 square miles; and the extensive districts of uswgton, nun iiamwersmitu are not yet in cluded in a borough. Altogether, that agglomeration of houses which we call London, including various suburban districts, spreads over an area of 122 square miles, 51 of which are in Middlesex, 36 in Surrey, and 35 in Kent. Within the limits are comprised 36 registration districts and poor-law unions, and 186 parishes. There are at least 6,500 streets and lines of road. The religious wants of the population are provided for by about 470 churches and episcopal chapels, and 650 places of worship belonging to Roman Catholics, Jews, Protestant Dissenters, and other denominations. Every day, or rather everynight, 17,000,000 cubic feet of gas are consumed, and 90,000,000 gallons of water ; though it would be unfair to assume that Londoners are therefore the greatest water-drinkers in the world, for no less than 8,000 publichouses and beershops ore devoted to the supply of stronger drinks. This wonderful aggregation of humanity—this immense town growing so certainly and rapidly—deserves ,a better history of its progress than has yet appeared. Very clever and industrious men have entered partially on the task, narrating the growth of certain localities, and exploring ancient records and modern books of archaeological research for sketches of manners and the architecture of different epochs. But, as yet, London in its entirety has not been sketched. We have tried, in the following pages, to bring the diversified labours of many explorers into a focus, to add ne slight amount of original research, and, by so cbmig, tell a tale that all may read of the growth of the great city. Starting from the first authentic traces of the British town, we shall trace briefly, we trust not unattractively, the history i f the splendid Roman city, and how in due time it included in its metropolitan area, stately Westmins ter and busy Southwark, the western fields to Chelsea, Bayswater, and Hammersmith, the pleasant slopes of northern Hampstead, merry Islington, Shoreditch and Hackney, Bethnal Green, Stepney and Poplar, and stretched even to the slopes of the Kentish and Surrey Hills, including Greenwich and Camberwell in its vast domain. FIDE, PEE. , TILENCE, AND FAMINE. We must now recount some of the terrible calamities which befel the City in these early days, and necessarily hindered its progress. No town on the face of the globe has experienced more appalling visitations. Earthquake ex cepted, there is sonic° a form of human suffering which the inhabitants of London did not endure during the four cen turies after the Norman period. We are so accustomed to hear of the terrors of the Great Plague of 1665, and the Great Fire of the succeeding year, that we are induced to ignore the previous fearful pestilences and conflagrations which time after time almost depopulated the City and re duced it to ashes. The more terrible of these visitations we shall now-briefly enumerate. We have already men tioned several great fires previous to the destruction of St. Paul's in 1086. In 1212 a fire broke out at Southwark; crossed the river, and made fearful havoc. When the flames had subsided, the charred bodies of 3,000 persons were found. In 1483, Leadenhall, which was built in 1419 by Alderman Sir Simon Eyre, for a public granary, was totally destroyed, with many other houses. Storms and hurricanes, too, did their work. In 1090, 600 houses and several churches were blown down. In 1439 many houses were unroofed, and Old Change nearly demolished; and in February, 1444, a great storm struck down the steeple of St. Paul's. We have records of eleven awful pestilences, which filled the streets of the City with tho dead and dying. In 1348, 50,000 deaths occurred, and the dead bodies were hastily carted to spots in the suburbs. Sir Walter de Manny pur ehaserl a plot of ground at a ripe. eallpd Spittln Cross, near West Smithfield, and gave it for a cemetery. In after years the same Sir Walter de Manny established there a monastery for the monks of the Chattreuse, out of which grew the present Charterhouse; but for very many years after the monks took possession a stone cross with a Latin_ inscription reminded tho passers-by of tZ , l pinu o n o -st e ri r n o ke n n o thousands who mouldered below. were carried off in two days, among them King Edward in ni l- the Duke persona Lan caster;o and so great was 1 111. prohibited the slaughteringof l as the putrified blood and entrails. y the fright draining into the Thames, vreerrrei ttle within the City, in the streets, and pi pestilence carried off, Bute to the sickness.

Our last record r -ffers to 1528, when, for the last time, the fatal and mysterious sweating sickness again visited London, with terrible results. Added to thew a ppalling calamities, were occasional famines, caused by bad harvest-.

Just through the Bar, on the right hand side of Fleet the lane leading to Lincoln's Inn, and bear - -..r v ), is the gate-house at the end of - Temple. This gate-house ''posed by Cardi "r man, street ing the name of the passage leading to the Islicuu. - was built by Sir Amias Panlet, as a fine ru. r _ nal Wolsey. When Wolsey was a young and a pus._ parson of Lymington, he had offended Sir Amias, who, say the old biographers of the cardinal, put him into the stocks. Fifteen years afterwards, Wolsey was the greatest man in England, and ordered his old persecutor to come to London, where he lived in a state of semi-captivity for six years. He ornamented thoPfront of the house with coats of arms, car dinals' hats, an d other devices ; and, not being possessed of the spirit ir ophecy, could not foresee that, in 300 years' time, a hair reaser of lively imagination would dignify hie penal house with the style of a "palace of Henry VIII. and Cardinal Wolsey." AN ENGLISH SLAVE MART. There were two fairs held at Tothill Fields ; one, Nag•.- claim's fair, lasting three days ; and another, lasting 31 days, instituted by a grant from Edward 111. These fairs were doubtless scenes of great debauchery, winked at for profit's sake by the chapter, who took the lion's share otthe proceeds. James 1., however, suppressed the fairs. In 1618 a Bridewell—much wanted in the neighbourhood, we should think ---was erected in Tothill Fields. In earlier times there had been joustings and other sports; wagers of battle were held there, and sorcerers and witches punished. During the raging of the great plague pest houses (standing about 40 years since) were built, and the dead buried in great numbers ; and in 1651 the Scotch pri soners, taken by Cromwell, were publicly sold in Tothill Fields to several merchants, who sent them as slaves to the Barbadoes ; not, however, until some 1,200 men, worn en, and children, who had sunk under their sufferings, were buried in the Fields. We may mention, incidentally, that somewhat to the west of the Sanctuary, stood, in Queen Mary's time, a storehouse of ordnance, and a narrow pas sage leading to it was named Storehouse Gate, since cor rupted into Storey's Gate. FRI.3tROSE-HILL OF OLD. As we stand on the sunlit of Primrose-hill, to the north of the Regent's -park, it is not very easy to realize the idea„ that in the Saxon days a dense forest reached almost to the city boundaries. This forest of Middlesex, as it was called, was the lair of wild bulls, stags, terrific boars, such as the adventurous hunter now meets with in the German or Po lish forests, and packs of wolves. It is a popular mistake that the last-named animals were extirpated by King Ed gar in the tenth century. They were numerous in Britain .ter centuries after that monarch's bones were laid in Glaston bury Abbey, and the citizens of Saxon London migh t. sometimes hear, in the stillness of the night, the long, dreadful howl of the hungry beasts, as they prowled around the fields lying between the city walls and the tangled forest beyond. Thieves and outlaws, too, driven for their crimes from the abodes of civilised men, lurked in the forest re cesses, meet companions for the savage brutes around them. It is supposed that the old Roman Watling-strest had cut, a way through this wild district, and travellers from the north might congratulate themselves if, having escaped the fierce beasts of prey, they reached London with whole skins and unrobbed pouches. There was fine hunting in those days, we may be sure, when, with horse and hound, brand and hunting-spear, the Saxon thanes and ealdermen rode through the forest towards Hama -steed, in pursuit of stag or boar. Towards the end of the twelfth century, Fitastephen, a faithful chronicler, with a poetic taste, thus describes the north-western suburb :—" On the north am cornfields, pastures, and delightful meadows, intermixed with pleasant streams, on which stand many a mill, whose clack is so greatful to the ear. Beyond them an immense forest extends itself, beautiful with woods and groves, and full of the lairs and coverts of beasts and game, stags, bucks, bu 0.,., and wild hulls." The forest of Middlesex was dis afforested in 1218, about forty years after Fitzstephen wrote ; but Hampstead was retained as a royal preserve, and the heath is mentioned in a proclamation by Henry VIII., for preserving game for the royal "disport and, pastime." ORIGIN OF " HACKNEY COACHES." Before quitting Hackney, we will devote a few lines to the correction of a popular mirtake. Our young readers scarcely know what a hackney-coach was like. They have heard, of course, of the creaking, dirty, slow vehicles, with many-caped drunken drivers, which flourished in Loudon before Sbillibeer invented the omnibus, or cabs werer known. It is very generally believed , and, indeed, stated in standard histories of London, th a t these hired vehicles were called hackney-coaches because they were first mn - ployed on the road to Hackney, in conveying genteel citi zens to their suburban homes. This is a great mistake. The word hackney may be traced to the Dutch, French, Spanish, and Italian languages. In our own tongue it is at least as old as Chaucer and Froissart, who borrowed it from the French haquenee, a slow-paced nag. Froissart says, in one of those glorious chronicles which fired the blood of Claverhouse, " The knights are well horsed, and the common people and others on litell hakencys and gel dynges." The word subsequently acquired the meaning of " let for hire," and was seen applied to other matters than horses. In " Love's Labour Lost," Shakspeare says, " Your love, perhaps, is a hacknie." In " Hudibratr we meet with " a broom, the nag and hackney of a Lapland hag." Pope calls himself " a hackney scribbler." Addi son and Steele, in the " Spectator" and " Tatler," speak of " driving in a hack ;" and we surely remember the hackney•coach in which Sir Roger de Coverley went to Westminster Abbey. Hogarth gave the expressive name of " Bate Hackabout" to the poor harlot whose progress he depicted. Cooper, in the " Task," uses " hackneyed" as, an active verb ; and Churchill employs it is an adjective. So, there are authorities enough for the meaning of " hack ney ;" and the pleasant village, now the centre of a subur ban town, must be deprived of the honour of the invention of hackney.coaches. These will give some idea of the variety of matter which the volume contains. It will be found in valuable by those who wibh to have something more than a mere vague idea of the rise and progress, of the greatest city in the world. It possesses an excellent index ; and its extremely moderate price will place it within the reach of all. .Hodge Podge. Routledge. This is an exceedingly amusing little volume, well calculated for the merry time of Christmae. It consists of fairy tales, poetry, conundrums, jokes, riddles, and humorous tales, and the price at which it is published will no doubt ensure it a very exten sive circulation. While the volume is cheap its contents are unexceptionally good. Hand Catalogue of Postage Stamps. Hardvvieke. In order to assist collectors of postage stamp& this book has tzen r.ornoiled by J. E. Uray, Esq., and it will be found of great service to them, as it contains a full description of every postege stamp at present in existence. KELLY'S POST OFFICE DIREC7 OBY FOR 1863. Messrs. Kelly have just published the sinty fourth edition of the London Directory, and, like all its predecessors, the volume still continues to increase. Last year the volume contained no less than 2,526 pages, but the present consists of 2,574. Amongst the new features of the work, and one which will be found exceedingly convenient, is the introduction of a guide to the ready use of the several divisions of the book; and such is the calm with which this improvement has been carried out, that the required information can be obtained in a• few seconds. Another addition is the insertion of a list of vestry clerks and a statement of the population of the several districts. The corrections have been carried down until within a few days of publication, so, while we have a book of universal commercial importance, we, at the same time, have one of remarkable precision. From the hasty reference we have made of the volume we can tes tify to the correctness of its contents. The book is a substantial and wonderful proof of the energy, talent, and perseverance of its enterprising pub lishers. THE ROMAN MOB. No people is less capable of guiding itself ; con sequently, the first corner can easily drive them in leading-strings. They have played the part of theatrical supernumeraries in every Roman revolu tion, and not a few of them have fought without knowing what pie they were playing. They have so little faith in a republic, that, in the absence of all the authorities, when the Holy Father and the Sacred College had taken refuge in Gaeta, some thirty plebeian families encamped in Cardinal Antonelli's apartments, without breakin g a single glass. The re-establishment of the Pope, under the protection of a foreign army, did not surprise them in the least : they awaited it, as a lucky event and the return of public tranquillity , They live in peace with the French soldiers so long as those soldiers do vot meddle with their fa mil y _affairs, and the French occupation only when they happen to be perscwally annoyed.

They are, indeed, g: eat eaters of bread, and very greedy after spectacle's; they treat their wives as their females, never allow ing them to dispose of a centesimo, but laying out their money themselves. They are well built, ro bust, and capable of giving a tug which would astonish a buffalo; but there is not one who does not try to find some mode of living without labour. Excellent workmen when they have not a sou, im possible to catch when they have a crown in their pocket ; good sort of people, familiar and simple.- hearted, but convinced of their own superiority to all the rest of the human race ; economical to the last degree, and cheerful chewers of grey ptas, until they meet with a brilliant occasion of spend ing all their savings in a single day. They glean sou by sou ten crowns in the course of their year to hire a prince's box at the Carnival, or to hppear in a carriage at the fete of Love Divine.
