WILLIAMS, formerly a seaman in her 31ajesty's Royai 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 cases of ship wreck, and having paid great attention to the life-boats at present in use in this and other scountries, 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 the 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 wind and withstanding all weathers, and able to beat to windward in the heaviest gale that can possibly occur (when no other beat 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 massage her, and two lug sails, and will be capable of remaining longer out, and would be the means (under Divine Providence) of saving snore 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 passengers from the wreck at from 60 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 Life-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 be provided sitk a boat of the above descrip tion for the preservation of life in case of accident, as it will 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 theselboats. They can be made to any dimensions, according to the number of passengers and crew, 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 less than any of the fiat-bottomed boats now in use. The only object the Inventor has iu view, is the benefit of his fellow-creatures, and he requires no compensation for his loss of time or trouble, but that a subscription might be raised for the purpose of building a "working" model under his inspection, it being out of the power of the Inventor, for want of the necessary 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 soma responsible person to be applied for the express purpose 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. Williams, at Mr. Dann's, College House, Colvill-terrace, King's-road, Chelsea. COMPETITION'S COMPLAINT Oh dear I oh dear ! what shall Ido ? I can't compete With MOSES.

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 halts, 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 iu 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 Lime des Deux abides, 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. Rena 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 demands of the Prus.sian 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 preservative 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 lin. 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, althongh impa• 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 accession of the new monarch, and the political crisis by which Europe was shaken, ro-awakened the desires which had only been 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 his 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 a 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? In 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 to 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 :-Ist. 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 public 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 confined itself to ordering the formation of an assembly, nothing move than a commission chosen in the provincial States, todecide 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 same curious details relative to the two parties, which now divide Prussia, the Conservative party, or " historical school," and the Radical party, or " ra tionalist sehool,!"fhe 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 donstittil tional states of Fiiror. CHARING-CROSS CENTRAL RAILWAY TERSIINUS.—At the meeting of the London. and Brighton Railway Company, on Tuesday, the Chairman, Mr. R. Hill, stated that this measure had been Pestponed, and that therefore he should not ask the proprietors to sanction the previous vote of that Company of 100,000/. towards the project. This announcement produces some regret, because the prospect of Obtaining a portion of the new embankment of the Thames, so 19ng desired, seems at an end, The project originated with the centractor for the litingerford-bridge, Mr. Chadwick, who, just as it was finished, made a conditional purchase of this bridge, intendingto convert it into a railroad bridge, and to make a terminus of the land in front of kdelphi-terrace, to be embanked from the river for that purpose. The proprietors of the bridge, however, re titsed to coldirrit 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 aft to be abandoned. The object of Mr. Jacksell's party in the purchase of the bridge is net know 4, - 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, 4,134,4541.

During the eame period this amount was ex pended in payments for Reduced Annuities, Consolidated, Old South Sea' Annuities, Thei have further received 1,317,6a0i. 3s. 3d., to ue applied al the (14%114 ell ug sth or April. ELECTION OFTHE_ MARQUIS OF CHANDOS. BUCKINGHAM, WEDNESDAY.—The representation cf this borough, vacated by Sir Thomas Fremantle, was to-day arranged by the return of the Marquis of Chandos, the only sou of the Duke of Buckinghsm. The election took place in the Town- hall. The MAYOR having opened the proceedings, The Rev. IV. T. El RE came forward to propose the Noble Marquis, and the nomination was seconded by Mr. IV. H. FRENCH. 'there being' no other candidate to propose, • The MAYOR declared the Noble Marquis duly elected. The Marquis of CRANDON,' then addressed the assembly amidst mach applause. In the course of his remarks the Lo r d sa id— w ith 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.) lam opposed to an alteration in th e - ex i st i ng corn-laws for two reasons; first, manufacturer, upon the bcleause I am conv i nced a repeal of those laws will have an injurious effect upon every class of the community—upon the ' riculturist, an d upon t h e l a b ourer __(icar, h ear , as d cheers.)---and, seem- I dly, I o bj ect t o any alteration in those la ws , b ecause I think, even if I agreed iu the principle of the measure, I ought t o oppose i t oti t h e ground that it is one of far too ;-,, , reat 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 hell in the Town-hall of Dorchester, in compliance with a requi sition which had been previously 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 sure=. 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 Parlia ment 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 Rev. H. F. Yeatman, the reverend speaker was interrupted by the struggles fur 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 be presented in the two Houses by Lord Digby and Mr. Bankes. After the usual formalities, The MGR SIIERIFF then announced that the election in the room of Lord Ashley and Mr. Sturt would take place on Thursday, Feb. 19. The Lrge assembly then quietly dispersed •WESTMINSTER ELECTION. MEETING 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. Mr. Duerr 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. Muurtxr observed that the electors of Westminster ought to be represented by a Member of decided Liberal opinions.. They ought not to let a Conservative come in. Ile 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. Crimps 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.) Ile had no hesitation in giving his opinion in favour of General Evans —(Applause.) - Several members having addressed the chair, Mr. STOCK-EN 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 West!' Laster. Mr. Cnibns seconded the resolution. • Mr. LEwis utoved an amendment. which was seconded by Mr. JAcKsox, that it is not advisable on this occasion to con test the election with the Hon. Captain ROUE. After e 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 EvAws, upon entering the room, was received with cheers, lle observed that he returned his grateful thanks for the honour ho 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 to do 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 notice, and he could ' only say that be 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 otfered 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 hint in the field. Ile, 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.) He did not wish to press himselt upon their adoption. He had had the honour to serve them consistently, and if returned he would pursue the same un deviating course. Ile 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 be 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. POUNCEY 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.) lie 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 evr.zi of his becoming the representative of Westminster, he wo u ld vote for the total and immediate repeal of the corn-laws, in opposition to the delayed measure of het Majesty's Govern ment ?—( Hear.) General EVANS 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, lie hoped that they would forgive him if he supported that object. A MEmnEn.—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 cdneluded 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, be remarked that he was pleased to observe there was such a feeling manifested to support a Liberal candidate.— (Applause.) Let then; all put their shoulders to the wheel, and do their utmost .to carry this election, and he had no doubt but that they would )lave a most triumphant victory for the Liberal cause, The meeting broke up at eleven o'clock. TOTAL AND IMMEDIATE HE.PEAL.—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 hit mediate repeal of all restrietiotis upon the trade and commerce of the country. The meeting was held in the Town-hall, and was at tended hy several hundreds of persons front the town and neigh bourhood, amongst whom were several tenant farmers front thc villages around, The chair was taken by M r . councillor Milner, in of the mayor, who was prevented e from attending. : the the absence first resolution was Proposed by Mtte, " that the eetin perceived with lunch satisfaction that the national stru m i "' • gg.e let industrial fmodoni was rapidly drawing to a close, and that the cause of truth would ere long be crowno m 11COeSS, " Sit.

A series of reSolutions having boll passed. a petition, embodying the sentiments expressed in then;;, was agreed to, ', - .raying for an imme diate, total, and nneo.ntlitional repeal of :'5 laws that interfere with the rights of labour, the abundant Krpply of food, and the general PtosltekitY Of the nation.

PRICE OF GOLD.—The premium on gold at Paris is 12 per mine, which, at the English Mint price of 3/, 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an ex change of 25 45, and the exchange at Paris on London at short being 25 624, 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 4334 per mark, which, at the English Mint price of 3/. 17s. 104 d. per ounce for standard gold, gives an exchange of 13 91 ; and the exchange at Hamburgh on London at short being 13 11-A-, it follows that gold is 0.91 per cent. dearer in London than in Hamburgh.

' are fully appreciated, -her cases in point arc admissible, tier ma nner o f regarding any mooted question of . jurisprudence is always sufficiently now 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 1 , ician arc qualities to which Miss Skillet-au cat 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 language ; she probes it, with a firm and unshrinking hand, to the very bottom ; she sxtracts each of its poisonous or virulent qualities, bit by bit, classifies them, one after another, with scrupulous exact ness, and then holds them up in succession for public - scrutiny in so m an y c h a p ters . Wh ere t h' e reme dy i s questionable, she specifies o ne herself, and ma i n t a i ns it by a Isng array of where/is-es; 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 csnelusion, Miss Martineau has exercised her abilities in a more alluring, it' not, a more sound or s o b e r manner. The object of the entire . work is pretty tolerably plain from the title alone ; and so vigors oils is the handling of the theme, so ithaussser able are the abuses thersin. 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 foam the he a di ng o f t hi s story— " Gentle and Simple " —we may l earn Its most pervading characteristic. Gentle and simpl e enough the talc is—it is pure, unadulterated, it is E ng li s h a l so i n i ts general tone; it is limpid En g li s h. N or is it merely thus in its style of compositi on; English—thoroughly English—i n all its characters. The authoress has selected her materials from the fountain head ; she h as t ransferred to her pages the emotions which are ever w e lli ng up in our agricultural districts. She has with a right faithf u l pencil copied the features which ar t e he vi c s t ir ag i e n , or among the crops. All the characters, however lightly sketched, will be recognised ; they are not so much individuals as representatives of a genus. 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 game, and who 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 warm on the coldeit 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'. PRICE si. 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 a s a p eg u p on which to hang a number of fresh arguments ; yet from this very circumstance the object is never lost sight of for an instant. The pernicious game laws f—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, 3 hedger and ditcher, is the hero; and in tracing his moral destruction, from his ignorance in picking up a nest 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-countryinen, 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 Lisainer, and the return of Luke to his 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 ita authoress. THE KNIGHT OF G WYNNE. Nos. I, and By Charles Lever. While his brother litercaeu.'s, 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. Maxwell), 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 acme what turbulent -minded times, when both politics and litera ture appear to have lapsed into the confusion wide; 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 or: at least one evening's amusement ; nor is its smallest adjunct that " Phiz"—rare, delicate, laughter-moving "I'lf z'—stcl 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 safety declare that the commencement of the " Kaight of Gwynne" is equal if mot 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 madcria some grotesque and extravagant adventure is rattled off with the most fascinating smartness, and without the faintest indication of ace. 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 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 originsa characters Mr. Lever has yet summoned into existosnee. According to our estimate, the motto of the Gwynnes " Are le tGuellez pas:" will not apply to the present narrative their descendant's care er ; far otherwise—the pages are destined to be well thumbed.

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 crown of the head will remove the most distrosing pain in that part produced by or at tended with faintness ; and is acknowledge d by the Faculty as the only specific known to cure .that disease of the head called Porlgo de calvans (which causes the Hair to come oft in patches) ; a taw applications removes dandriff.
