WILLIAMS, formerly a seaman in her 'Majesty's Royal Navy during the late war, and for many years since in the Merchant Service, having been cast away, and in a water-logged ship for many days, has devoted much of his time to the invention of a boat or raft, for the more effectual preservation of human life in eases of ship wreck, and having paid great attention' to the life-boats at present in use in this and other 'countries, has invented one which ;will more effectually answer the purpose for which it is ;intended, not being liable to capsize or fill with water, a great fault with many of the boats now in use, which is very often attended with serious consequences, owing to the delay which unavoidably occurs through the boats being capsized, and the men thereby unfit to render thu assistance necessary for the preservation of the sufferers on board the vessel they are endeavouring to rescue from de struction—being themselves in want of assistance, thereby occasion ing a loss of much valuable time, and in all probability the lives of the unfortunate beings they are endeavouring to rescue from an untimely fate. The Life-Boat, or English Catamaran, invented by W. Williams, being composed of sheet iron, and of very light con struction is capable of laying within four points of the wisd and withstanding all weathers, and able to beat to windward in the heaviest gale that cm possibly occur (when no other boat now in use can venture Out,) and cannot by any accident capsize either by stress of weather or in a heavy surf, and will go through the water with double the speed of any other Life-Boat now in use, in all weathers ; with only four men to manage her, and two lug sails, and will be capable of remaining longer out, and would be the means (under Divine Providence) of saving more lives than any other kind of boat yet invented ; and can be made to save at each trip a ship's company, consisting of 100 souls without the least risk, as may be seen by the model, and more fully explained by the In ventor, and can take all the crew and eassengers from the wreck at from GO to 100 yards distance with the greatest facility, and without the least danger, not having occasion to go alongside should the vessel be on the rocks or any dangerous situation where other boats dare not approach. This Lite-Boat of W. Williams's invention can be made to take to pieces or put together by the carpenter of any vessel in thirty minutes, and stowed away at hand, and most part of her can be made available for the ship's use. All vessels going abroad with passengers or engaged in the Green land Fishery, ought to he provided with a boat of the above descrip tion for the preservation of life in case of accident, as itwill answer as well on the ice as on the water, and all dangerous parts of our own coast as well as that of other countries, ought to be provided with one of these boats. They can be made to any dimensions, according to the number of passengers and crow, or the service for which they are intended ; and are particularly well adapted for the service of landing troops in heavy surfs or shallow water, drawing lees than any of the flat-bottomed boats now in use. The only object the Inventor has in view, is the benefit of his fellow-creatures, and lie requires no compensation for his loss of time or trouble, but that a subscription might be raised far the purpose of building' a "working" model under his inspection, it being out of the power of the Inventor, for want of the necesssry funds, to accom plish so desirable an object. The Inventor, therefore, most respect fully solicits the aid and patronage of all those who feel interested in the preservation of the lives of their fellow-creatures, and that the funds so raised may be placed in the hands of some responsible person to be applied for the express pnrpose• above specified ; and when finished, and fit for trial, W. Williams will be prepared at once to test his invention by putting off to sea in any gale or weather, either by night or day, so as fully to establish the proof of her superiority over all the other life-boats now in use. N.B. Any person desirous of inspecting the Inventor's Model, will be readily waited on by him, either in town or country. W.

EYE -BROWS, MOUSTACHES, an d WHIS KERS produced in a few weeks by using an essential Spirit drawn from choice Aromatic Herbs, the peculiar properties of which are known only to the Inventor, and although perfectly inno cent in itself, will produce new Hair on bald places, caused by weak ness of constitution, or where Nature has net bestowed this orna ment of the human figure. It has been known to many of the Nobi ity and Gentry upwards of eleven years, some of whom the Inven tor most sincerely thanks for their attestation of its merits, in the certainty of restoring Hair and giving it additional lustre and strength. Its virtues are manifold—it prevents the Hair from fall ing off or turning gray; a few drops on the crewn of the head will remove the most distressing pain in that part produced by or at tended with fetidness ; and is acknowledged by the Faculty as the only specific known to cure that disease of the head called Porigo de calvans (which causes the Hair to come off in patches) ; a few applications removes dandriff. This wenderfhl discovery is fully ex plained in a pamphlet containing testimonials to its regenerating new Hair upon bald places, entitled, " Three Minutes' Advice on the Growth and Preservation of the Human Hair," by W. Grimstone, Inventor of the Aromatic Regenerator for the Growth of the Human Hair, and a certain preventative of headache and fainting ; also a toilet perfume—bearing the Inventor's signature, Herbary, High gate, near London.

GREENITICII Pmts.—The excavated reservoir, for supplying Greenwich llovital and the dock -yard at Dept ford with water in case of fire, is now completed ; it is con structed on one of the finest lawns in the path, a n d occup i es about half an acre of ground. It has an unsightly appear ance, but when the object for which it is intended is con sidered, all objection ought to cease. The public have some reason to complain of the many inclosures that have, fresh time to time, been made during the last twenty years. In the present case, however, they are likely to he benefitted, as plans are now in progress, to be laid before her Majesty, for pulling down the old farm-house and other buildings attached thereto, and throwing the whole area, about two acres and a half, into the Park ; this will not Only be a most desirable improvement, but prevent a repetition of the many complaints from the respectable part of the inhabitan's of Blackheath, of the irregularity in opening the gates in the upper part of the park. Other alterations are talked of, which will place the management of the park on a more. re- spectable footing. ELECTION OF THE MARQUIS OF CHANDOS. BUCKINGHAM WEDNESDAT.—The re p resen t a ti on o f thi s borough, vacated by Sir Thomas Fremantle, was to-day arranged by the return of the Marquis of Chandos, the only eon of the Duke of B uc ki ng h am. Th e election took place in the Town-hall. The MAYOR having opened the proceedings, The Rev. W. T. EYRE came forward to propose the Noble Marquis, and the nomination was seconded by Mr. W. H. FRENCH. 'I here being no other candidate to propose, The MAYOR declared the Noble Marquis duly elected. The Marquis of CHANDOS then addressed the assembly amidst much applause. In the course of his remarks the Noble Lord said—with respect to the important question which now occupies the general attention—l need scarcely say I allude to the corn-laws and the present free-trade movement—l do not hesitate to avow that lam de cidedly opposed to it.—(Loud cheers.) I am opposed to an alteration in the existing corn-laws for two reasons; first, because I am convinced a repeal of those laws will have an injurious effect'upon every class of the community—upon the manufacturer, upo❑ the agriculturist, and upon the labourer —(Hear, hear, aid cheers. )—and, secondly, I object to any alteration in those laws, because I think, even HI agreed in the principle of the measure, I ought to oppose it on the ground that it is one of far too great importance to be sub mitted to an expiring Parliament—(Cheers)—and because I think the sense of the country ought to be taken upon a question in which so many mighty interests are involved. After a vote of thanks to the Mayor, for his conduct in the chair, the proceedings of the election terminated. CORN-LAW MEETING AT DOR CHESTER. On Tuesday, at twelve o'clock, a large meeting was held in the Town-hall of Dorcheiter in compliance with a requi sition which had been p rev i ous ly placarded about the town. Charles Pitcher, Esq., the new Sheriff presided; and forth with several gentlemen stood forth upon the platform with words of loud opposition to the proposed Ministerial mea sures. As upon all similar occasions, the gist of the different orations were contained in the different "resolutions," the speakers being mere amplifications of those documents. A Mr. Farquharson was the proposer. and a Mr. Pope the seconder, of the first of these resolutions, which was to the following effect ;—" That this meeting views with the utmost alarm the measures now under the consideration of Puha , Mont for the great reduction of the duties payable on the ad mission of foreign manufactures, and the establishment, at no distant period, of the free importation of foreign corn." Another of a similar character having been read by the Bev. H. F. Yeatman, the reverend speaker was interrupted by the struggles for places incident upon the arrival of fresh spectators every minute. .The hall at length being filled beyond endurance, and the mob outside en deavouring by every muscular effort to effect an entrance, the meeting was adjourned to a neighbouring field. The dis cussion (if so it could be designated) was then resumed, and a proposal carried for petitions to Parliament against any alteration of the corn-laws; the petitions to he presented in the two Houses by Lord Digby and Mr. Barikes. After the usual formalities, The Thou SHERIFF then announced that the election in the room of Lord Ashley and Mr. Sturt would take place on Thursday, Feb. 19. The large assembly then quietly dis, ersed •WESTMINSTER ELECTION. ➢IEETING OF THE WESTMINSTER REFORM SOCIETY. Last night, at eight o'clock, a most numerous meeting of the members of the Westminster Reform Society, was held at Stannard's Hotel, Charles-street, Covent-garden, for the purpose of taking into consideration what measures should be adopted in consequence of the resignation of the Hon. Captain Rous, upon his acceptance of the office of one of the Lo.ds of the Admiralty. Tnorr being appointed to the chair, observed that the first question for the consideration of the meeting was whether the Society was willing to go to an election, and if they were determined upon taking that course, to come to a resolution who should be the candidate they would support. They had heard from General Sir De Lacy Evans that he was willing to become their representative, and to contest the election.— (Hear.) He had served them faithfully on former occasions. —(Hear.) The meeting must act with promptitude and determination, as it was most probable that a very few days would elapse before the day of nomination would be ap pointed.—(Hear.) Mr. MURRAY observed that the electors of Westminster ought to be represented by a Member •f decided Liberal opinions. They ought not to let a Conservative come in. He believed he expressed the opinion of 'Westminster, that it would be an injury to the Liberal cause if they returned again the Honourable Captain Rous.—(Hear.) Mr. CIIILDS said that they should look to the broad principles . on which the Society was founded.—(Hear, hear.) They ought not to be guided by their feelings, but to look at principles.—(Hear, hear.) He was one of the oldest elec • tors, and always gave his vote for, and used his utmost ex ertions to secure the return of an independent candidate.— (Hear, hear.) He had no hesitation in giving his opinion in favour of General Evans.—(Applause.) Several members having addressed the chair, Mr. STOCKEN moved a resolution that General Sir de Lacy Evans be proposed as a candidate to oppose the Hon. Captain Rous at the ensuing election for the representation of Westir mister. Mr. Crimps seconded the resolution. Mr. LEWIS moved an amendment, which was seconded by Mr. JACKSON, that it is not advisable on this occasion to con test the election with the Hon. Captain Roue. After a very prolonged discussion, The CHAIRMAN put the question, when the amendment was lost by eight. On the resolution being put only three hands were raised against it (followed by loud applause). The Chairman then requested that the gallant General should be informed of the decision of the meeting. General EVANS, upon entering the room, was received with cheers. He observed that he returned his grateful thanks for the honour he had received by their having resolved to sup port his election as the representative of the liberal con stituency of Westminster.—(Hear, hear.) But this was not. the first time that he had had occasion todo so. He did not expect that so shortly after he had issued his address an op portunity would have occured when he should have been called upon to present himself to their netice, and he could only say that he there reiterated the opinions which were contained in that address. He was sorry that they should be put to the inconvenience of being obliged to use their ex ertions on his behalf. He intended to have offered himself at the general election, when he would have been able to enter the contest upon equal terms with his opponent, who, on the present occasion, had got the start of him in the field. He, however, with the support of the Liberal electors of West minster, had no doubt of his success. He had no desire to go into the House of Commons, but if it was their wish that he should be their representative, he would readily stand the contest.—(Hear, hear.) lie did not wish to press hitnselt upon their adoption. He had had the honour to serve them consistently, and if returned he would pursue the same un deviating course. He was now ready to give an answer to any questions that might be put to him. . CHAIRmaN—If any one has a question to put to the gal lant General, he trusted that it would be proposed; and he hoped that those who held up their hands for the amendment would assist to their utmost in promoting the return of General Evans.—(Hear.) Mr. POUNCET observed that he held up his hand for the amendment, but did not oppose the resolution.—(Hear.) He had always voted for General Evans, and should do so at the ensuing election, feeling that the Liberal interest ought net to be divided.—(Applause.) He hoped that the electors would come forward, and he had no doubt but that the gal lant General would be returned triumphantly.—(Applause.) Mr. LEWIS asked General Evans whether, in the event of his becoming the representative of Westminster, he would vote for the total and immediate repeal of the corn-laws, in opposition to the delayed measure of her Majesty's Govern ment ?—( Hear.) General EvAxs said that his opinions were well known always to have been in favour of the total and immediate repeal of the corn-laws. He, however, begged to observe that in the event of the great body of the Whig party and the League deciding that it would be more expedient not to op pose the propositions of Sir Robert Peel, he hoped that they would forgive him if he supported that object. A MEmunn.—Suppose the League oppose the measure, would you support total and immediate repeal? General EVANS—Go with the League by all means.— (Applause.) The gallant General concluded by remarking that he would give his vote, as he always had done, in favour of liberal measures.—(Hear, hear.) The thanks of the meeting having been voted to the Chair man, he remarked that he was pleased to observe there was suet :a feeling manifested to support a Liberal candidate.— (Applause.) Let them all put their shoulders to the wheel, and do their utmost to carry this election, and he had no doubt but that they would have a most triumphant victory for the Liberal cause. The meeting broke up at eleven o'olock. TOTAL AND IMMEDIATE REPEAL.---A public meeting was held at Doncaster on Wednesday evening, convened by the mayor, In accordance with a requisition, to consider the propriety of petitioning Parliament for the total and im mediate repeal of all restrictions upon the trade and commerce of the country. The meeting was held in the Town_hall, and was at tended by several hundreds of persons from the town and neigh bourhood, amongst whom were several tenant farmers from the villages around. The chair was taken by Mr. Councillor Milner, in the absence of the mayor, who was prevented from attending. The first resolution was proposed by Mr. Ilastie, " that the meting perceived with much satisfaction, that the national struggle fer industrial freedom was rapidly drawing to a close, and that the cause of truth would ere long be crowned with complete suc cess," &c. The other resolutions were moved and seconded by Mr. Merratt, solicitor ; Mr. Illagden, of Warmsworth, a tenant farmer ; Mr. Dent Dale, of lialby, also a tenant farmer, and a warm advocate of the abolition of the cern-laws; Mr. Richard Dale ; Mr. Councillor Dunn; William Chadwick, Esq., of Arkley, a large landed propri e t or and well-known anti-monopolist ; Mr. Joseph Clark, tanner, who expressed his conviction that no injury would accrue either to tanners or carriers by the Premier's proposed reduc tions ha that branch of trade ; and by other gentlemen of the town. A series of resolutions having been passed, a petition, embodying the sentiments expressed in them, was agreed to, praying for an imme diate, total, and unconditional repeal of all laws that interfere with the rights of labour, the abundant supply of food, and the general Prosperity of the nation. The speeches delivered were warm and energetic, and congratulatory on the fact that the dawnfall of mono • poly was now nigh at hand ; and it was agreed that the petition should be signed and sent off on Wednesday, for presentation to the House of Commons by Lord Morpeth on Thursday night. PRICE OF GoLD...--The premium on gold at Paris is 12 per mille, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 10d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25 45, and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 621, it follows that gold is 0.68 per cent. dearer in London than in Paris. By advices from Ham burgh the price of gold is 433 f per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 100. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 9i ; and the exchange at llamburgh on London at short being 13 14, it follows that gold is 0.91 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamliurgh. TAKE OF HERRINGS.—We are happy to state that the greatest take of herrings within the memory of the oldest in habitants of this island, has occurred in our bay (llugort) during the last three weeks. We may safely state that up wards of 300,000 herrings were caught, and sold at lair prices, averaging from Is. 3d. to 3s. per hundred. The fish were of more than ordinary size.-4chill SPANISH WHEAT.—There has just been delivered at this port a cargo of extremely fine wheat from Cadiz (being the first that we remember direct from Spain into this vast emporium of con). It weighed 641bs. to the bushel, and was very dry. The Jane Pope, of Bridport, Captain Symonds, brought the cargo for Messrs.

Germany is witness of a great spectacle; a people having a consciousness of their strength and their rights delay royalty, to which they remain devoted, from giving them li beral institutions ; a King, entirely penetrated by the senti ment of the prerogatives of the Crown, nevertheless submits to the irresistible ascendancy of the national desire, and pre pares to share this sovereign authority of which absolute Princes show themselves so jealous. Prussia loudly cries for a Constitution, a Parliament, and the liberty of the press. Frederick William IV., on the point of conceding all, hesi tates and hal ts, as if he were attacked by a sort of vertigo ! Hitherto the representative form of government has existed in certain German states, but only in those of the second and third rank. This fact has, no doubt, contributed in a re markable manner to prepare Germany for the practice of liberal institutions, and it was as a pledge of the future esta blishment of those institutions in all parts of the German country. But we may imagine what a powerful future interest is attached to the liberal movement now going on in Prussia. It is not one of the most curious and instructive features of contemporaneous history, that in a country still subject to the almost exclusive system of absolute government, all the symptoms, all the external facts are found, by which poli tical life is manifested in constitutional states? There is so little doubt entertained in Prussia of the speedy triumph of liberal opinions that, anticipating the period when the Prus sian constitution shall be in operation, the various parties are preparing and delineating themselves; these parties exist, they act, and discussions have been opened amongst them as in the bosom of a regular assembly. We have enabled our readers to keep pace with the labo rious parturition of the Prussian constitution. We shall now complete our previous remarks on the subject by some infor mation relative to the origin of the political movement which agitates Prussia. The Revue des Deux Mondes, whose im• portant articles we have more than once pointed out, contains an excellent article on the history of the liberal institutions of Prussia, from the pen of M. St. Rene Taillandier, from which we shall borrow a few extracts. It is not from yesterday—it is not even from the accession of King Frederick William IV., that date the desires and the hopes of Prussia. We must go back to the events of 1814 and 1815, to find the origin of the rights on which the present demand.= of the Prussian people are founded. It was in the cry of liberty that the Allied Sovereigns raised Germany against French domination. But they did not confine them selves to vague promises. The 13th article of the federal compact says, that " there should be assemblies of state in all the countries of the con federation." This prudent obscurity seemed to the Govern ment a sufficient rieservatiVe against the embarrassing de mands ; but they had reckoned without their host; i. e without making allowances for the progress of public opinion. It was to promise too little if the interpretation of the ar ticle was to be left to them ; it was to promise too much, if it was to be left to the people. Either actuated by good faith or wise foresight, the Prus sian Government thought itself bound to anticipate the wishes of the nation, by completing article 13, which was addressed to the whole Germanic Confederation, by other ar rangements which would particularly concern Prussia. An ordinance of the 22d of May, 1815, signed by Frederick Wil liam 111., openly proclaimed that a representation should be given to the people of Prussia. This ordinance appointed a commission, charged with a twofold task. It was first to occupy its attention with the formation of provincial estates, sitting in several cities of Prussia; secondly, to determine the form of the asseMbly, which was no longer to represent such and such a province, but the whole of the kingdom, and which was to sit at Ber- The ordinance announced that this assembly would issue from the States, but without saying how. The labours of this Commission (presided over by the pre sent King, then Crown Prince) were prolonged much more than had been anticipated. It was not until six* years after its appointment —on the sth of June, 1823—that the law of the provincial States was promulgated, This was,, as our readers will see, taking a long time to accomplish only one of the two promises of 1815. Prussia was endowed with provincial States, but the general represention was still a nullity. Things remained in this state till 1840, although imps. tient to see the realisation of the engagements made by royalty. Prussia remained silent, not wishing to disturb the last days of a sovereign deservedly loved and respected ; but in 1840 the accesiion of the new monarch, and the political crisis by which Europe was shaken, ro-awakened the desires which had only beetr asleep. They broke out with such force, that it must have been clearly seen that it would be impossible to be unmindful of them. The personal disposi tions of the King at first appeared about to second the na tional movement. In several vague speeches, but impressed with the enthu siasm peculiar to bis character, this Prince made declarations which were regarded as favourable, and as such received with lively eagerness. But his last speech to the Deputies of Konigsberg having been commented upon, a few weeks afterwards (the 4th of October, 1840), by /3:Ministerial cir cular, which absolutely rejected the interpretation given to the royal words, it was quickly understood that the King and the people misunderstood one another, and distrust re placed the enthusiastic faith of the first days of his reign. Still, the King had given reason to hope for something, and his Government was actively occupied with the prepara tion of the plan announced by him in terms so obscure. What had the ordinance of 1815 promised? A general re presentation of the kingdom. How was this engagement kept? . Iu February, 1841, appeared a decree, which in creased the importance of the provincial States, by authoris ing the publication of their discussions. They were, more over, summoned to assemble every two, instead of every three years. As io the essential question—the General Assembly,—the decree instituted a Diet, to which the provincial States sent each a certain number of delegates. This assembly sat at Berlin, and had two sorts of functions on all the points on which the provincial States had emitted discor dant views it was to close the discusion, and so cut the thread of the conflict ; 2d. the General Diet of Berlin might be consulted by the Government on all subjects of publ►c interest. The stupefaction with which so derisive a satisfaction was received may be readily divined. A constitution had been promised in 1815, and the decree of 1841 conned itself to ordering the formation of an assembly, nothing more than a commission chosen in the provincial States, to decide between the contrary proposals emanating from those States. Besides this—no rights, no guarantee. no authority. It was to arrive at this great result that the new King had expended in his speeches so much enthusiasm and eloquence. From this moment a resistance was organised in Prussia of which the provincial States took the initiative, and in which they were followed by the press. The author of the article before us gives some curious details relative to the two parties, which now divide Prussia, the Conservative party, or " historical school," and the Radical party, or " ra tionalist school." The result of this intellectual and poli tical crisis cannot be doubtful. Prussia, in spite of the hesi tations of her Government, and the retrograde in diplomacy of Austria, will soon take her place amongst the constitu tional states of Europe. CHAIIIITG-CROSS CENTRAL RAILWAY TERMINUS.-At the meeting of the London and Brighton Railway Company, on Tuesday, the Chairman, Mr. It. Hill, stated that this measure had been postponed, and that therefore he should not ask the proprietors to .s,7,nction the previous vote of that Company •f I 00,0001. towards the project. This announcement prodnces some regret, because the prospect of obtaining a portion of the new embankment of the Thames, so long desired, seems at an end. The project originated with the contractor for the Hungerford-bridge, Mr. Chadwick, who, just as it was finished, made a conditional purchase of this bridge, Intending to convert it into a railroad bridge, and to make a terminus of the land in front of Adelphi-terrace, to be embanked from the river for that purpose. The proprietors of the bridge, however, re fused to confirm the bargain, and sold it to Mr. Jackson, of Birken head, and some other parties, for a larger sum. Since then there have been various attempts made to cross the river by Waterloo bridge, or by a new bridge ; but these now seem all to he abondoned. Tie object of Mr. Jackson's party in the purchase of the bridge is not known. NATIONAL DEBT.—It appears from a return issued yesterday by order of the House of Commons, that in the year end ing sth of January last, the Commissioners for the Reduction of the National Debt, received from the Exchequer, at sundry times, 4,134,484/. Os. 11d. ; and further amounts for interest on Reduced Annuities, Consolidated, &c., making in the whole their receipts 4,143,8911. 3s. 2d. During the same period this amount was ex pended in payments for Reduced Annuitio, Consolidated, Old South Sea Anauities, &c. They have further received 1,317,001, 3s, 3d., t(i De applied in the quartet ending sth of April. c ~~ ~v - - LITERATURE. FOREST and GAME TALES.: T 01. 111. By Harriet Martineau. As an acute and sound reasoner upon political economy, Miss Martineau has long been familiarly known to English readers. Her powers of argument are fully appreciated, her cases in point are generally admissible, her manner of regarding any mooted question of jurisprudence is always sufficiently new to render it attractive. Indeed, her popularity is ascribable more to clearness of perception and appo siteness of development upon any abstruse principle than to displays of rhetoric, or those many superfluous adjuncts which tend rather to decorate than actually to improve a volume. Ingenuity or dexterity as a logician are qualities to which Miss Martineau car not advance the veriest ghost of a claim ; she is wholly and entirely deficient in the trickeries so prevalent among political theorists. She does not skin a social wound over with the gloss of langu age ; she probes it, with a firm and unshrinking hand, to the very bottom ; she extracts each of its poisonous or virulent qualities, bit by bit, classifies them, one after another, with scrupulods exact ness, and then holds thew up in succession for public scrutiny in so many chapters. Where the remedy is questionable, she specifies one herself, and maintains it by a long array of wherefores; where, however, the course to be adopted is self-evident, she abandons it to its own silent but moving eloquence. In the series which have particularly originated these considerations in our own mind, and of which the volume before us forms the conclusion, Miss Martineau has exercised her abilities in a more alluring, if not a more sound or sober manner. The object of the entire work is pretty tolerably plain from the title alone ; and so vigor ous is the handling of the theme, so unanswer able are the abuses thrrain pourtrayed, and so utterly incapable of much longer support, is the system stigmatised, that we are fain to regard these " Forest Tales" as harbingers of death to the game-laws, and as the precursors of a more rational state of things. In this light the last effusion of the " set" must be regarded as the ante penultimate of the abrogation. From the two adjectives which form the heading of this story—" Gentle and Simple"—we may learn its most pervading characteristic. Gentle and simple enough the tale is—it is pure, unadulterated, limpid English. Nor is it merely thus in its style of composition ; it is English also in its general tone; it is English—thoroughly English —in all its characters. The authoress has selected her materials from the fountain head ; she has transferred to her pages the emotions which are ever welling up in our agricultural districts. She has with a right faithful pencil copied the features which are visible in our countrymen, whether in the mea dow, in the cottage, in the stubble-field, in the high-road, or among the crops. All the characters, however lightly sketched, will be recognised ; they are not so much individuals as representatives of a genes. Their proto types are scattered far and wide through every county, without number. Onslow, the honest, steady-going, plain-spoken farmer; Lisamer, the conscientious game keeper; Granny Stott, the industrious, peevish, and respectable housewife; Groves, the hearty old fellow • who is licensed to sell gdme, and vkho advised his " poaching party to shake their fowls in the face of the policeman they met in his rounds of an autumnal morning, or asked him to judge of the weight of a hare yet warn on the coldest winter night;" all these per sonages, and many others not specified, are no more the creations of fancy than daguerrotypes are; down even to little Tot herself. One blemish in the book, which is however a neces • sary consequence of the subject and the aim proposed, is its accumulation of dry and heavy dialogue. Every scene, every situation, is used simply as a peg upon which to bang a number of fresh arguments ; yet from this very circumstance the object is never lost sight of for an instant. Th e pernicious game laws !—there it stands ever before the reader, from the opening sentence to the concluding syllable—the pernicious game-laws ! Luke Voile, a common day-labourer, as one may say, a hedger and ditcher, is the hero; and in tracing his moral destruction, from his ignorance in picking up a neat of partridge's eggs from a bank on his way home from work, to his transportation for catching a couple of leverets, the mistaken policy of the present legislation about game is admirably defined; it is a vast political question condensed, as it were, into an anecdote ; it is a companion to the Iliad in a nutshell. Any one who is interested in the welfare of his fellow• creatures, and of his fellow-countrymen, will read " Gentle and Simple ;" it is an important exposition of an important topic ; nor is it devoid of the merits necessary for a work of fiction. In this respect the suicide of Lisamer, and the return of Luke to bis cottage-home after confinement in jail, are passages fraught with a strange and touching pathos. Altogether this is a clever and good-spirited tale, ger minated not only in the mind but in the heart also of its authoress. THE KNIGHT OF GIVYNNE. Nos. I. and By Charles Lever. While his brother literateu7s, with scarcely another ex ception, are subsiding either into utter silence (such as Sir Bulwer Lytton), or into casual magazine writers (such as W. H. Maiwell), or into a mongrel existence in newspapers (such as Dickens), or into resurrectionists of their own for gotten creations (such as Ainsworth)—Charles Lever, the quondam " Harry Lorrequer" continues as fresh, and spark ling, and prolific as he has been heretofore. In these some what turbulent-minded times, when both politics and litera ture appear to have lapsed into the confusion whicli is ge nerally the forerunner of a great change, it is really pleasant to be greeted each month by the same hilarious heart which has lightened our own so frequently during the last four or five years. We regard that old pink covering alone, as some thing worthy of our estimation : it looks the harbinger of at least one evening's amusement ; nor is its smallest adjunct that " Phiz"—rare, delicate, laughter-moving "Ph'z"—still continues to be the illustrator. Although it is scarcely pos sible to arrive at any correct conclusion regarding the merits of a fiction after having perused merely nine chapters, we can safely declare that the commencement of the " Knight of Gwynne" is equal if not superior to the commencement of any other of Mr. Lever's productions. Curiously enough, whether by design or for getfulness, the first chapter opens in a manner identical with the opening of " Jack Hinton," namely, in a banquet-room, immediately after the guests have retired; the only dis similarity being that one is situated in London, and the other in Dublin. The characteristic in which " Harry . Lorrequer' is unrivalled, is as an anedote teller: as he cracks a walnut over his maderia some grotesque and extravagant adventure is rattled off with the most fascinating smartness, and without the faintest indication of effect. As one among the drollest of these little episodes, the account of Dick French's hunt on a dromedary after an " ibis" is wonder fully funny; especially with the assistance of Hablot Browne's etching needle. 'We may also particularise the de scription of Gwynne Abbey as charmingly picturesque. The old knight himself is beautifully conceived, and Bageua Daly promises to be one of the most finished and original characters Mr. Lever haS yet summoned into existence According to our estimate, the motto of the Gwynnes•" Ne le touch z pas!" will not apply to the present narrative o. their descendant's career ; far otherwise—the pages are destined to be well thumbed.
