Hurst and Blaekett. The writings of this delightf u l au th oress are always welcome objects, and in the translation of Mary Howitt, they cannot lose much, since this book before us tis replete with vigour and vivacity, fresh, free, and natural in its style To wander over lands in company with one of earth's g ran d sp i r i ts who looks on sublimity with a kindred soul and worships beauty at nature's altar with rapt enthu siasm and kindling zeal, is always a great privilege. In these volumes there is much to attract the atten tion from the varied themes descanted upon. The first one treats of Switzerland, and the latter relates to Italy. Notwithstanding the universal import ance that lately accrues to all pertaining to Italy, there is something more genial and grateful to the mind in the accounts given of Switzer land. The gifted authoress thus commences her subject —" There is a small country situated in the heart of Europe. . Its cir cumference is insignificant, and insignificant is its population compared with the powerful States which surround it—France, Germany, and Italy ; but its mountains are the highest in Europe, and there the mightiest European rivers have their head waters. The people—a pastoral people—have stood foremost in the battle for what constitutes the most valuable treasures of all people—political freedom and freedom of conscience." The language is every where clear and explicit, and occasionally the reader meets with passages of great eloquence as some scene in particular strikes the fancy or arrests the gaze. It is a most desirable study to dwell on the scenes that these pages contain. Often as the Helvetian soil has served us as a theme for tra dition, legend, tale, or song, there seems something ever new,in its contemplation by a:superior mind and cultivated intellect; something lofty as its Alpine heights pervades its being—something fresh as its everlasting snows animates its attributes. It is difficult among so many gems of thought to choose any one particular piece for notice, but these pas sages are among the most artistically arranged and vividly described.

" It had rained and been stormy during the night ; but now it was bright, and I could see the mountains. " I stood upon the lofty terrace of the cathedral, and looked around me. It was bright—indescribably bright and glorious. The splendour of heaven and earth seemed to me twofold. Far below my feet rushed the rapid Aar, through verdant meadows ; and there, encircling the dis tant horizon in their white draperies, stood the pyramids of the Alpine land—Schreckhorn, Doldenhorn, Finster- Aarhorn, Eiger, Monch, Jungfrau, with its silver horn, and whatever other names they may bear—those primeval Titans, the beautiful and magnificent forms of Switzer land. They were quiet now, those ancient assaulters of heaven. The Lord of Heaven had scattered over them a handful of snow, and they were turned to stone ; and now, in helmets and armour of eternal ice, they stand and reflect the glory of the sun. Oh ! how white, how beautiful they looked, and how their majesty was enhanced by his light. The storm of the preceding night had gathered itself into little islets of cloud, which were collected in dark specks at their feet, and there vanished, dissolved by the sunbeams, and attracted by the concealed spirits of the mountains to the springs in their bosoms. " How my soul's - -eyes and ears drank in this sight, and listened to her voices which spoke to me from it. " Have confidence in the sun! Let not thy courage sink. Has not a nocturnal storm but lately passed over thy life ? Did not heaven seem dark, and every prospect on earth closed ? And did not the tempest, all at once, as by a magic stroke, become dispersed, and everything was again bright ? See the cloudlets yonder, below the moun tains, how they melt away before the sun, which absorbs them, changes them into blue ether, or into fertilising springs and rivers ! Thus, human sufferings and errors— ah ! that which makes life so dark and the heart so heavy —thus sink they into the deep, thus are they dissolved by the sun of the Divine goodness. Have confidence in the sun I—sing, sing, oh heart, and praise its power, as do the Alpine heights, the clouds, and the verdant, ever-youthful earth ! " Joyously rushed on the Aar with swelling waters ; the birds sang, the acasia diffused its fragrance around, and the earth and the Alps shone brightly. Oh, this morning —I can express but little of that which I experienced during it, of that which the sun and the Alps spake to me." THE WORD IN SEASON. "Here was a popular preacher of the right sort; one really mighty to rouse souls out of a state of lethargy and dulness. "Amongst the various anecdotes, some striking, some affecting, which he poured forth out of his cornucopia over the assembly, I particularly remember the following,which he related in the most admirable manner : " Some years ago, one of the most remarkable of the so-called street preachers in London was a man named Rowland Hill. One day the rich and worldly Lady Erskine came driving in her carriage, across the very square where he was preaching. Seeing the crowd assembled round him she ordered her carriage to stop, and inquired what was going forward, and was told that it was Rowland Hill who was preaching to the people. She had heard speak of him, and, curious to hear him herself, she alighted from her car riage, and, accompanied by her servants, made her way into the crowd, which immediately opened for the elegant lady. And at once, without suffering himself to be disturbed by her presence, Rowland exclaimed— " M y friends, here comes a soul which is to be put up fur auction.' " The people were startled, and some laughed. ' This rich, grand lady to be sold by auction 1' Lady Erskine advanced nearer, and Rowland Hill continued "' I see three buyers abou' to bid for her. The first is called the World. ' Well, what wilt thou give, 0 World, for this soul ?' The World replies, 'Pleasures, ornaments, flatteries, festivities for every day of her life.' All plea sures, and flatteries, and festivities will come to an end, whilst this soul will on, because it is immortal I It is too little which thou offerest, Q World, and thou canst not have her.' Now comes the second bidder, it is the Devil ' How much, Satan, wilt thou bid for this soul?' All the power of the world and the glory thereof.' But all the power of the world and its glory will pass away, whilst this soul will last on. Thou canst not have her, Satan, for thou offerest too little !' The third bidder presents himself. Oh, that is the Lord Jesus ! I expected no less of Thee, 0 Lord ! What, then, dost Thou bid for this soul ?" My peace in this life, and after it eternal bliss I' 'Take her, Lord, take her ! She is thine, for a higher price no one can offer " Berthollet added, that Lady Erskine was so affected by these words that she made there a profession of the truth—she abandoned her worldly life of vanity, and became cne of the principal supporters of the English church." THE MOUNTAIN MEMORIAL. "And the hero of the scene—hast thou, my R. ever heard speak of Mont Blanc ? In that case thou hast that it is a snow-covered mountain of Savoy, near 15,000 feet high ; and thou hast in spirit—if thou hast not seen Mont Blanc in reality—beheld an icy giant raise his crown towards the stars. But from Geneva and the district around, from which the most beautiful view of the giant mountain is obtained, it seems merely like an immense snow hill, with many ter aces. Its mass, its dazzling whiteness, its soft, rounded form, rivet the glance with an imposing power, which has, at the same time, a something tranquillising and agreeable in it, especially when, in an evening, the giant is tinted by the light of the descending sun. The beautiful profile of Napoleon which is seen por trayed in the highest outlines of the mountain, and which it is impossible to avoid seeing when you have once become aware of it, adds also to the grandeur of its physiognomy. From the Quai Mont Blanc, and from Rousseau's island, one sees it, together with the whole chain of the Savoy Alps, very perfectly. " I spent yesterday afternoon and evening on Rousseau's island, sitting in and wandering about the lovely groves around his statue, contemplating the Alps. They stood out splendidly in the golden sunset, especially Napoleon's image, which was illumined by it s b eam s. They seemed to me to shine with the peace of God upon the horo. " He soundly sleeps on his bed of snow, A calmer the world hath none— He will die no more, he hath struck his last blow, And his sentinel watch is the sun I" The authoress gives the most thrilling andtouch• ing accounts of the striking scenes with which she meets in her pilgrimage. The description of the Missionary Institute at Basle is most interesting, and no one can help feeling a mingled sensation of regret and admiration for those who are about to set off and wander in peril and toil in unthankful ness to spread the kingdom of their Master and make His name worshipped, from the rising . to the setting of the sun. Thuse men may be mistaken in their views very often, and sometimes might better employ their energies at home, but the real missionary spirit is a noble one. Among those proceeding to the coast of Africa, the writer was much struck by the thoughtful expression of one of the young men, and to him she thought the words of the missionary's call might be appropriately applied. These words might, in their beauty and splendour, be applied to many scenes of life, and prove the ruling passion to many children of earth with benefit to others and bless - • ings to themselves. " Why live I here, the v!ws of God are on me, and I may not stop to play with shadows and pluck earthly flowers till I my work have done and rendered my account ;" "and when I come to stretch me for the last in unattended agony, beneath the palm's green shade, it will be sweet that I have toiled for other worlds than this." These sentiments might arouse and animate many pilgrims in their progress to a butter land, and urge them to give a helping hand to others by their advice, and, if not necessary to instruct them in the vital truths of religion, they might teach them its spirit in their lives of usefulness and love. The second volume, on Italy, is more lively in its details, but it is not so solemn and grand as the pages on Switzerland. It is most deserving of perusal, however, and many will be edified by the record given of the interview with the Pope ; on the whole, so charming a book of its kind is not often met with, and the readers of this country are greatly indebted to Mrs. Howitt for rendering its beauties and wonders into their own language. The translation reflects great credit on its executor, and a boon is conferred on the litera ture of two nations by its skilful and successful achievement. A better conclusion cannot be given to a notice of these volumes than in the final words on Italy, which will be responded to by every patriotic mind, and which speaks the sentiments and expresses the hopes of all who would behold the children of Italy more worthy of the fame of their glorious sires : THE ITALIAN REGENERATION. Yet, who does not praise the beauty . of Italy, in her scenery, her cities, and her art ?—hut the people of Italy, who praises thew ? ROW usual it is for foreigners to speak of them with mistrustful reservation ! And yet It seems to me that there has been quite too small a recognition of their peculiar goodness and excellence. Some one—l do not remember whom—has remarked that when the Italian is kind and good, he is so in a higher and more perfect degree than the man of any other nation. And as with the grape, which at a certain period of its ripeness is said to be nobly ripe—edel reif is the ex pression on the Rhine—so may it be said of the human being of Italian blood, fully matured to goodness, he or she is then nobly matured.' To strict conscientiousness, noble-mindedness, earnestness, all the virtues which adorn humanity, must then be added, refinement, beauty, a name less grace, which is more easily felt than described, and which is like the flower and the perfume of the Italian in .. dividuality. I have seen and experienced this amongst the Italian men, especially of the learned class—not the clergy —in all the States of Italy where I have as yet been. Social life, feelings, thoughts, receive thence, as it were, a higher, clearer colouring, a deeper harmony. But when that which now is peculiar to the few becomes peculiar to the many, because this beautiful individuality is in the depth of the Italian popular character—when religion and the constitution of the States, popular life and domestic life, folk's festivals like those of Switzerland, homes such as my Swiss home by the living waters—unite to liberate this peculiar yet fettered national beauty, then will Italy as suredly become that which one of its noblest sons prophe ti• ally beheld many centuries back, Common soil, daugh ter and mother of all lands alike, elect of the gods, to make heaven more beautiful, to collect scattered mankind, to soften the manners, to make a brotherhood of nations sepa rated by barbarous tongues, to give to all a human sociality and amiability, and to become a common father .land to all the Rations of the earth' " But He who gave to the people the ability to supply each other's wants, who called all to become members of one great family, voices in one great harmony ;—who gave to one and all of us, small human beings, his part and his vocation in the common work ;—who gave us in it, infinite treasure to husband for ourselves and for others, for all, for the hour and for eternity ;—who gave us to enjoy the dew drop and the sun, the little bickering and the kiss of love and fidelity unto death ;—let us labour for Him and rest in Him. Him let us praise, and let us pray Him that His kingdom may come Nadalen Havering ; being Chapters in the History of a Family. By the author of " The Verneys," &c. 3 vols. Hurst and Blackett. This is rather a strange style of story, which will doubtless find many admirers amongst those who delight in the romantic and pathetic. Some of the numerous personages who are introduced in these pages are sketched in a most adroit manner, and the composition of the work is in some pas sages most eloquent; as, for instance, in recording the last days of the life of that mistaken enthusiast the kvoeur - Annunciate. A more striking contrast to this wild and misguided being can hardly be found than that offered by the Lady of Hazlewood, the gentle Alicia. She was a pattern in her short life of a sweet and gentle woman, and in her early death she exhibited trust and patience that gave hope to her sorrowing friends, and left a ray of light to gild her grave. Her memory lingered be hind as the sweet remembrance of the just "Alicia speaking from het !grave, adjured the husband who lamented her so to pass through this mortal vale, and so to guide her young children's ways, that in the Elysian fields of Heaven they might all eventu ally reassemble." Magdalen, the younger sister and heroine of the first story, is a wild and excit able maiden, who went on in a rather imprudent manner at first, but subsequent events taught her wisdom, and she was at last almost a model for her usefulness and kindness. In the second part of the story, as so often occurs, the flush of beauty and the glow of glory seem to be dimmed and paled by the sinister chronicle of events that befall our early hero and heroine. Few are the lives that survive this destroying test and show us a bright meridian to the smiling morn, or even a glittering sunset to the stormy day of life. Magdalen and her husband are sadly tried ; their three fair children are swept away in a day, and their place is never filled again by others. The latter portion of the tale is the best; because the first division, though artistically narrated, has for its chief aim and object one of those painful and always exaggerated statements of religious projects and delusive snares which add so much to the thrilling interest of a romance, and lend such , terror to the plot of a drama, but which sober minded people do not care to dwell upon ; doubtless there exist many young people who become con verts to other religions through their own weak and maudlin fancies being worked upon by subtle snares prepared by designing agents for their own ends, or perhaps inspired by misguided zeal ; but the cage as here represented is rather overdrawn. The friends and relations of Rupert acted so ab surdly, and the young man himself was so lamentably weak, that really they seemed to invite the attacks of all enemies. The uncle should not have introduced as tutor to the heir of so large an estate any one of whose family and character he had not the most minute details, while Rupert himself seemed simply infatuated. Maud and Muriel, in the second story, are very interesting girls. Muriel is one of those superior beings who are sometimes lent to the world to show in suffering and sorrow some of the brightest and holiest attri butes of the Christian character, some of that immortal nature that illuminates with a splendour borrowed from on high. Many such have lived through days of agony who have influenced others in the road to right, and rendered more bright the earth they found so thorny till they passed on rejoic ing to the heaven where their heavy pain should endure no longer. Maud is a very strange creature, full of the wildest impulses, and often moved to th e rashest acts in consequence of her unstable mind ; On the whole, there is a great variety of character in these stories, and many striking events occur ; although some portions of the narrative are exag gerated, there are passages in it of deep feeling and occasionally of much eloquence. It can therefore be recommended to those who seek an exciting story full of incident and replete with adventure. Turkish Life and Character. By Walter Thorn• bury, author of " Life in Spain," &c., &c. Two vols. Smith, Elder, and Co. Mr. Thornbury, whose name is well known in the literary world for works of various kinds, has lately given us several lively volumes of travel. The reader of his agreeable "Life in Spain" will readily recall his vivid description of the sunny streets of the Spanish cities, of the old romantic traces of Moorish rule, and the initiation which he gave us into the mysteries of wine manufacture, which will hardly bear the light of day,. even in Xeres or Oporto. The volumes before us, like the preceding work, consist chiefly of reprinted papers from " All the Year Round" and other serials. The author tells us, how - ever, that they were all written with a steadily maintained harmony of purpose, and could not, therefore, be judged of separately. They are all written in Mr. Thornbury's peculiar style, in which we must confess there is beginning to be something of mannerism and flippancy. His smartness of manner and vividness of description have been so deservedly popular that we fear he has begun to think the sound sense and accurate knowledge which should underlie the sparkling surface to be but secondary things; and the prevalent error of writing too much tends greatly to the deterioration of the most gifted and ready writers. " Turkish Life and Character," like all Mr. Thornbury's works, is full of ability and entertainment, but it is scarcely the same order of writing which we found in " Shakespeare's England" or " Art and Nature." In his pleasant tour he had, he tells us, two pieces of good fortune. He was a wit ness of the transplantation of the Circas sians from the Caucasus to Anatolia, and he was present is Constantinople during the discovery and repression of a great conspiracy that threatened the life of the Sultan and the convulsion of the Empire. Abdul Medjid finds little favour in his sight ; and, indeed, he consi ders the whole system of Turkish dominion in Europe to be tottering to its fall. Nicholas the First's famous definition of the " Sick Man" is readily adopted by Mr. Thornbury, who generally employs the stronger definition of "the dying man." The whole course of events in the East he considers to be tending to one point—the de struction of the Ottoman Empire and the expul sion of the Turks from Europe. Since his return from his travels, the catastrophes in Syria have turned the public attention with unusual force in that direction,and possiblydis the author suggests,the volumes before us may gather a more tragic interest from those dreadful events. They are full of vivacity and life, giving us a series of photographs of Turkish manners and customs, and though, thanks to the experience of the Russian war, infor mation on these subjects is no longer deficient, yet an animated picture of other countries is always attractive and agreeable. Mr. Thornbury takes us into the Turkish shops, and bids us note the extortion practised in the gay bazaars of Constan tinople ; he saunters with us in the Valley of the Sweet Waters, and watches the Eastern beauties taking their one day's exercise in the week. He bids us explore the horrors of the madhouses, and the almost greater horrors of the prisons and the galley-slaves. He shows us the quiet burial grounds encircling the busy city, and devotes a chapter to the pleasant fountains which minister to the wants of the parched and weary traveller. He lets us penetrate a Mosque, and makes us form acquaintance with curious characters of all sorts, from dancing and howling dervishes, to the street dogs of Constantinople. Saint Sophia has a chapter devoted to itself and a most interesting account is given of that stately building. We 'quote so me passages of this description. ST SOPHIA. ' e, a nd the " It is rather, then, from its sublimity of S richness of its pagan materials, that I looked w ith interest on St. Sophia. " I see before me a great building, not merely remark able for being 269 feet long, and 243 feet broad—Solomon temple was only 110 feet long—but memorableo me as replacing a temple that Constantine raised, and which Justinian rebuilt. I see the work of 16 long years—of 100 architects, 100 masons, and 10,000 labourers. At least a, million of Asiatic and European gold must have jpeelz 74 3 sorbed in rearing this great monument of the religion of the early Greek enspire. God alone knows how far it vas the pride and how far it was the religion of Justinian the prompted its building just oweide the walls of the old By zantium f Xenophon. " I could quote t Procepine, Aostthies, Silentieriti Evaerae, odinus, neange Hits, 13 rs lot, Bush, guru, when,l and Fassati, most of when, may mei tentsliy mention, know o y through the footnotes of that monster of et udi tion, Mr. Edward Gibbon, to show that all the riches and ancient splendour of East and West went to adorn this dingy sanctuary, now swaddled in matting, and daubed with ochry wash. Its cedar came from Lebanon; its porphyry columns came from the great Temple of the Sun at Barslbec : they were a widow's dowry bequeathed to the emperor : eight others came from Diana's temple at Ephesus. To prevent fire, wood, except in the dome and one or two doors, was scantily used. All parts of the world sent their marbles to frame the great church of St. Sophia. Thessaly and Molossus sent theirs, and the pavement was Proconnesian There was the Bosphoric white and black, the green marble of Laconia ; the Carystian pale, with iron veins ; the Phrygian rosy and purple ; the Carian and Lydian white and red ; but it is difficult to trace most of these now; the pillars of Ephesus are dulled and Clark; the costly Apollonian porphyry of as opaque purple, in enormous Ideas, banded with bronze, is the only real wonder ot the existing church. " But there was a time when the dome was all gold and mosaic ; when even the ba ustrades of the ehair, the capi tals of the pillars, and the ornaments of the doors and women's galleries were of gilt bronze; when the walls shone with mosaics, as if enamelled with jewels ; when the sanctuary was piled with forty thousand pounds weight of silver, and when every vase and vestment of the church was heaped with gold and gems; when the altar in the east shone like the noonday sun ; when the clergy and singers in white robes filled all the space of the choir; when the poorer Greeks filled the nave, the penitents the portico, and the women of Constantinople the galleries; when all eyes turned to the great gilt balustrade that ran from north to south, from the Baalbec pillars to the columns of Diana, because on one side rose the throne of the emperor, and on the other the throne of the patriarch. But the baths, and circuses, and theatres, and porticos of that age are gone, and only a large, tawdry, defaced, defiled building now remains. The Shechinah is long since passed from it. " It is difficult now even to believe that it is the scene consecrated by so many legends. Can this be the building whose completion Justinian celebrated with fourteen days' rejoicing, with sacrifices, and with the distribution of gold coins ? Can this be the central temple of Christianity that was built up of the fragments of the broken limbs of the Pagan Dagon, of columns from the Troas and Assyria, from Athens and the Cyclades, from the temples of Isis and Osiris, Cybele, Apollo, Pallas, and Diana ? Was it when these walls were building that Justinian came at siesta time, dressed in coarse linen, with a stick in his hand and a turban round his head, to urge on the work men ? Was it to a boy here, guarding the masons' tools, that an angel appeared in the disguise of a eunuch ? Was i t t hi s building that an archangel specially took in keep ing ? Can it be those green-winged figures of seraphim (as at St. Mark's) at the four corners of the dome now painted over and showing dimly through the semi-opaque paint ing—that the Turks believe to be spirits--that duri ng times of war and distress used to utter oracles, and who, before the birth of Mahomet, announced that the child to be born in Arabia would excel Chosroes and Shedad ? Is this really the building where they still show a walled-up staircase, through which a priest, bearing the host, disap peared when Mehemet burst with his sabres into St. Sophia r • " I could not ascend the great dome that rises over the wide cupola guarding the four minarets; but I was told that the crescent there is 50 yards across and that Sultan Murad spent 50,000 d uca t s i n g ildi ng it. It shines so, that it can be seen a hundred miles off at sea, and from Mount Olympus I saw it glimmer like a golden glow-worm. " Bat the object which especially touched my heart in St. Sophia was a colossal figure over the apse at the east end, showing dimly through a blank surface of gilding. I follow the dim outline for a moment with my eyes, and gradually become sensible of tne perfect figure. It is Christ, the Son of God, the second person of the Trinity, that Divine wisdom to whom Justinian reared this great temple centuries ago. "It seemed to Me a perfect emblem of the half -restored Christianity of the place ; and I felt at that moment sure, as if God had spoken to me from heaven, that come day, and not far distant, the cross will replace the crescent upon the dome of St Sophia; and that figure of the glorified Christ, breaking through the foul Arabian mist, will shine forth in restored glory, to gather brightness more and more until the perfect day." As the best sample of the general style and cha racter of the work we subjoin the following extracts : " Now these fountains arose either from royal magnifi cence (how easy it is to be generous with other people's money), or from the bequests of charitable people, dying Turks not unfrequently leaving enormous legacies, not only to build, but also to maintain these fountains. Some times they are square, isolated buildings, standing by the river side, or usefully in the centre of some market-place ; never however, for mere or namen t or di sp l ay, lik e our poor little squirts and sloppy tea-tables in Trafalgar •square. Generally, as in this instance, they project in a sort of bow, or apse, from thewall ; sometimes, in thehumbler instances, mere brass taps project from a sort of ornamental altar piece flush with the wall. They are never quite alike, but these features all the larger ones have in common : an over lapping roof of extreme breadth, so as to cast the greatest possible amount of shadow ; much inscription, and cursive and undulating floral ornament, either painted or carved in marble ; a terrace with steps round its base, and tall grat ings, round the lower openings of which are chained small brass vessels to drink out of. No wonder, then, that as people come here to bathe in shadow, and to drink the liquid coolness fresh from the well that guards it, as the melon does its inner juice, the fountain becomes, almost from necessity, a special lounge for everybody but the women. Here come the roast chesnuts and the green peaches, the figs and the pickled cucumbers, the sherbet and the lemonade, the horse-boys and the beggars, the fakir and the guitar player, the street boy and the wild dog; here the porter rests his luggage mountains, and the araba man looks for custom. ! +1 i i i " The gratings that shut in the fountain rooms are always specially beautiful, and generally of a pattern de . vised on purpose for the building. They are fine as jeTriel ler's work, and full of the most cunning harmony rf, flow. ing lines, trefoiled or heart-shaped, and blossotujig into a thousand shapes of ingenuity and fairy-like art. The shafts between the gratings are marble, and waist high comes the lower wall, on the top of Which rest the brass chatties. " Most of these fountains have a guardian who lives within, at least by day, and who sees that nothing is in jured or defaced. There this venerable dryad hears the water hour by hour rinse and trickle, as he reads his Koran and dreams about paradise, and the future rewards of the charitable, such as he who endowed this fountain. • • " Two things always are seen about a Turkish fountain: the first, pigeons; the second, street boys. Always pigeons on the lead roof, cooing, spreading their veering purple necks to the light, fondling, pecking, or fluttering; always street boys, w atchful and mischievous as apes, who sit in the niches, with their dirty backs against the gilding and carving, idle and, because idle, happy. Over them lies the broad sadow, and they lie under it as in a shady wood, defying the heat that makes the paving-stones just beyond the shadow all but red-hot. They think nothing of th dead men's charity, or of the carving fine as needlework e but they munch their ehesants and are happy, thieving' mischievous apes that they are. Often, too, a boatman's' oars or a hammers elastic pole rest up against the carved brackets, while the owners snatch a nap under the grate ful shadow, having first drunk of the fountain. Hundreds of times in the day these brass cups, all in a row under the stanchioned grating, are filled and emptied. "There is something humane aid poetical in this per petual enforcement of charity that von receive in a Turkish street. There are the scavenger dogs, waiters on Provi dence, that abound in every street, who, though a good deal drubbed and bruised, are still partly maintained by the kindness of old Turks, who feed certain of them daily; then there are the countless clouds of pigeons, har boured on the mosque domes, and guarded with as much care as if they were young angels; and, lastly, to crown the whole, these innumerable fountains, of all sizes, from that at the seraglio gate, with its square bulk and circular towers at the angles, to the mere arch, tap, and tank: everywhere water gushing forth from dead men's hands into living men's mouths, expressing a benevolence that has striven to be immortal. • • e • " And in thinking of fountains, the gentleman who on a fine day feels it so hot in Regent- street that he must really, perforce, go into Verey's for a strawberry ice, must remem ber that it is not to relieve such trivial thirst that Eastern fountaias were erected. It was not for slight, damp warmth, languor, and dry mouth that the Turks have spent mil lions in public fountains. It was for the heat that dries up all saliva; that inflames the mouth and blackens the lips ; that dims the eye and makes you giddy, faint, and sick ; that becomes, if not relieved incessantly, an intolerable pain and torture, coming, too, when the body is exhausted, and languor is so great that rest becomes the greatest nega tive pleasure that can be conceived. " In that intolerable city, indeed, all up-hill, where the streets are paved with loose boulders, walking at noonday is a work of the greatest fatigue and of the most painful exertion. Every moment the stranger betakes himself to peaches, grapes, or figs, of which he keeps a pocketful, and, when these are gone, to sherbet, lemonade, or some sort of fruit broth. Imagine, then, what delight, what life-blood, the penniless and vagabond draws from a draught at the street fountain." It was hard times for the bakers twenty years ago, when you could hardly be a week in Constantinople with out seeing one of the tribe groaning with a nail through his ear, fastening him to his own shop door. That was the time when women were drowned in sacks in broad day light, and when the sight of a rebel pasha's head, brought in in triumph, has taken away the appetite of inanY2f Englishman breakfasting with a Turkish Ministders.errou; there he (the baker) is now, floury, ghostly, as ever, groping in that black cave of an oven the unction of his hop, or twisting rings of bread with all lanthopist. of a feeder of mankind and a well-paid phlhe Sick Man's' "The fez shops are very numerous in t " at the back ly.

L"viitia- By the author of "Lorenz,) Benani." and hoetur Antonio." 3 vets. Smith and Elder. This is a very romantic story, end it is written with considerable ability ; altogether it is an ilea sual treat for the generality of readers to meet with so well worked a romance, and such artistically arawn characters. L av i n i a, the heroine, undergoes many extraordinary trials ; and adventuresthe when she was cast a helpless orphan in her h wilder ness of London are really most exciting. She had had the worst sort of training for such a thing, inasmuch as she had been brought up in luxury, and was suddenly deprived of everything, even her name, by a sudden disclosure of dreadful circum stances. She went to her new and unwelcome task with a brave spirit and a trusting heart, and though she found much to try to the uttermost of her spirits and strength, and almost break her sensitive heart, she was enabled to brave the storm a n d survive the tempest. The account of Paolo is most interesting, and no young hero of romance can attract more, by his glories and misfortunes, than he who is so admirably portrayed in these fasci nating pages. The engagement between him and Lavinia was as stormy and fitful. as any tie that ever strove to unite unruly hearts and ill•disci plined minds. Too late did Lavinia discover the treasure she had ruthlessly and recklessly cast aside in persisting to break off with Paulo. Paolo, on his side, repented his ill-timed haste and wild conduct when the object of his ardent attachment seemed to be for ever lost to him. Perhaps the most pleasing chapter in these volumes is that entitled the " Good Samaritans." Far more touching and high beyond the trophies of arts that are described in some pages with glowing splendour of imagery, and the very bril liant and dazzling views of earth's crowned and. titled ones, whose descriptions lend lustre to some passages, is the simple record of these poor unknown and unnoticed persons, dwelling in obscurity anti tog wo il r i i nin ways, poverty,th,eaynv‘t,he this.

These simple and humble creatures leave a pleasing memory in the mind of the reader that lingers on when grander and greater people are forgotten, bright with the beauty that is beyond all outward attributes, and shining with the glory that waits on the actions of grace. There are many others intro duced into these pages who are deserving of notice... Salvator, the devoted friend of Paolo, who was his benefactor when he nerrly sunk under the snares of wealth, is a finished sketch in its way. Thornton is a fine character, who is well nigh wrecked in body and mind owing to most adverse and pernicious influences. His recovery is most touchingly narrated ; it is a sorrowful task to enter that dreariest of all human tenements that exceeds in its gloomy horror even the grave yard, that place where dwell those over whose mind has fallen the dark shroud of sepulture. "Where night everlasting has shut them from day." The resurrection from such a doom is most blessed, and such was the bright boon vouchsafed to Thorn ton. This is a most successful story in its way, and no one can deny the evidence of real talent that exists in its exciting events and its eloquent pas sages. Paolo is a true child of genius, and Lavinia is a real creature of impulse. The erratic wander ings of one, and the wayward impulses of the other, drove them far away and wide apart ; but truth and nature triumphed at last in revealing his divine gift of a glorious power, and in displaying her shining qualities of head and heart. " Lavinia "is a most entertaining and interesting novel for those who would obtain a desirable study. THE 130 vIV TRIAL. BONN, DEC. 17, 3 r.u. Our trial terminated to-day at 2 o'clock, and we attend court on Monday next to hear the sentence, though, indeed, that has already been passed, only Monday next is fixed for the final decision, after reference to Berlin. Every one in England will be glad to learn that a highly respectable lady of Cologne, named Wolf Heydin, gave evi dence in court to-day entirely exculpating Captain Mac donald. She states that she got into the same railway compart ment before Mrs. Parrow ; that Captain Macdonald politely motioned her to a seat disengaged ; then came Mrs. Parrow, when Captain Macdonald gently placed his hand, or fingers of one hand, on Mrs. Parrow's shoulder, motioning to her in a polite manner that the seats were already taken. Mrs. Parrow was not to be deterred, but entered the carriage. Mr. Parrow, close behind, seeing Captain Macdonald place his hand on his wife's shoulder, gave him abuse, and called the railway official, and said the Englishman had insulted his wife, and he would not ride in the same carriage with him ; whereupon Hoffman, the railway director, told him (Macdonald) to turn out and go into another compartment ; and, on Macdonald's refusing to obey, help was culled, and three men and the director Hoffman bundled him out with force, and the result we all know. Soon after this the names of all the passengers were taken down by the railway officer, Mrs. Heydin's among the number. In the course of the journey to Cologne Mr. Farrow asked his wife if that Englishman had insulted her. She said " No." Mr. Parrow, moreover, advised Mrs. lleydin to get her name scratched out; that it was of no use, and would save her trouble. This she did, and that is the reason assigned for her not before appearing at Macdonald's trial. Mac donald's imprisonment is thus proved to have been entirely unjust, and they cannot carry into effect any punishment against us. J may add, the judges and all the law officers have exhi bited towards us during the trial the greatest politeness, kindness, and forbearance. THIS DAY'S MARE ETS. CORN EXCHANGE.
