As William Corfield, gamekeeper to M.

The Friendship's Offering f‘m.. which has just reached us, is fully eVfaa:l to the best of its predeces sors, notwithstanding the Editor's modestly c , B.prssed apprehensions that it may h tbMitlerea inferior, in consequence of the death of Messrs. Pringle and Inglis, both of which gentlemen, in turn, superintended many of the volumes. The Illustrations are nume rous, and executed, for the most part, with consider able ability. The frontispiece presents us with o. hair length figure of a female, the simple beauty and ex• pression of whose countenance might set A sentimen tally disposed poet raving through at leant dozen sonnets. The drapery is not harsh, and wiry, and stilly disposed, as is too often the c?.;;;; with the smaller class of engravings, but ; ;;;Is in natural, easy folds ;. and the satin ha f, ;:nat smooth, glittering look, which it is so I ,Atititult for aught but painting to convey. T:,e " Festival " is from a design supplied by Peruse, who, in the style and quality of his landscape, has not unsuccessfully imitated Claude's manner. Ruins of old Grecian temples, thickly overshadowed by richest foliage, make up the foreground; while the back ground is supplied by all the most attractive features of the milder and more picturesque forms of scenery ; a low range of hills being dimly seen in remote dis tance, just on the horizon's verge ; while in the inter mediate space, the eye glances over luxuriant fields, through which small rivers arc sparkling like so many silver threads ; scattered coppice woods; and. cottages peeping up among the groves in which they are par tially embosomed. A few male and female groupes are introduced in the centre of the foreground, so as to break what might be otherwise deemed the monotonous, still life of the picture. The " Would be Ninon", is a print whose name sufficiently denotes its character. The principal female figure is that of an arch, lively coquette. Of the literary contents, the best are the verses entitled " Retrospection," contri , buted by the late Mr. Inglis, and one of his earliest poetic effusions ; and " My Schoolmaster's Daughter," by the author of " Truckleborough Hall."

He takes each of them, kisses them, romps with them, for he is full of frolic, and glad to be a boy again, when the cares of the world will let him." On reading this drivelling rub bish, our thoughts were at once carried back to the re collection of the poor Polish infants, torn by this ido later of little children from their mothers' arms, at midnight, and sent to perish by hundreds on the road to Siberia ! We thought, too, of the well-authenti cated fact of the little corpses which were seen care lessly piled up on the high road to St. Petersburgh ; and of, the parents bewailing the loss of those who should never again bless their sight ; and as the current of our reflections carried us back to the This, we believe, is the oldest of the Annuals, but nevertheless exhibits not the slightest traces of languor or decay, but wears its age, like old Adam in the Win ter's Tale, who, it may be remembered, was- as hale, hearty, and merry a fellow at eighty, as he was at twenty. The plates are eleven in number, and are all executed with that care and attention to propriety of effect which characterize the engravings published by Ackermann. The best, or at any rate the most inte resting, is the " Young Enchanter," for which Wood has supplied the design. The face of the' youthful female who is seated on a mossy bank, receiving, and replying to, by no means reluctantly, the salute of Cu pid, is full of feminine sweetness and sensibility. The outline, too, of the young God's figure, is very easy and flowing. The little bit of landscape which makes up the background completes the charm of the picture, which is of a highly poetical character. We cannot speak equally well of the " Dying 'Sister," for though the subject is pathetic, the mode of treatment bears marks of any thing but pathos. The sister, who is seated by the bed-side of her expiring relative, does not look as if her heart were touched, but as if times when these fiendish cruelties were perpetrated by express order of the Russian Herod, our disgust at the above canting anecdote of his gentle nature was such as we can scarcely find words to express. If Mr. Ritchie really believes Nicholas to be the esti mable being which he pretty broadly insinuates he is, we can only say he must be a man of unbounded gullibility ; and we would no more trust his estimate of character, than we would that of the veriest idiot that ever shook his cap aro bells, and thought himself a Solomon. Lord Dudley Stuart knows far more about Nicholas than the Editor of the Pictu resque Annual ; and he assured us the other day, in an eloquent speech which he delivered at Castle Douglas, that the accounts published respecting the Czar's treatment of the poor Poles, so far from exaggerating the truth, actually understated it. We pin our faith on his Lordship in preference to Mr. Ritchie. Of the Illustrations to this Annual, we have no need to speak, as we have already made them the subject of notice. LITERATURE.

London : Ward and Co. 1835. It was but the other day we noticed Mr. Mudie's delightful volume, entitled " The Earth," and here we have another of the same size, named " The Air," and in the course of a month we are pro mised a third, to be called " The Sea." Truly, the author must be a person of astonishing industry, to write so much and so well, in the brief period of a couple of months. Yet we can discover no marks of haste in the works themselves. They are alike excellent in matter and manner. Mr. Mudie is a most grace ful and agreeable writer ; his representations are as vivid as if they were traced on canvas ; and though his language is intelligible to infants, there is not a sentence in bis works which has about it the ap pearance of a studied simplicity. " The Air" will be invaluable to all who are either about to engage in the studies of pneumatics and chemistry ; and who with a wish to learn its properties and operations, are denied the means of applying themselves scientifically to such pursuits. We strongly recommend it to fathers of families, as an excellent present for their children ; while by masters of public schools a more handsome Christmas offering could not be selected for favourite pupils than one or more of Mr. Mudie's very popular little treatises. LARDIVER'S CABINET CYCLOP_>EDLI• Yoh LXXII. London, Longman and Co. The subject of this volume is the Natural History and Classification of Quadrupeds, by William Svvainson, Esq.—so celebrated for the many important additions which he has made to the Natural History of this country. The work is divided into three parts, which are severally embellished with appropriate engravings. The first treats of the great divisions of organimed matter, and the relation which quadrupeds bear to other groups of the animal kingdom, with an examination of the theories of Linnaeus, Virey, Cuvier, and M'Leary. The second examines the habits of the various qua druped tribes ; and the third relates entirely to the class Mammalia, arranged according to its natural affinities. The: volume deserves to become popular, as does the work of which it forms a part. MANUAL OF ENTOMOLOGY, FROM TAY GERMAN OF DR. HERMANN RUBMRISTER. The latter has done all the justice to his subject, of which it was susceptible. The stanzas in allusion to this theme, are from the pen of Mary Howitt, and nothing can be simpler or more affecting. In the plate of " Cromwell and his Daughter," we miss the huge, red nose of " Old Noll"—in other respects the picture is admirable, its details being well managed, especially the decorations of the gothic-looking Chamber, which\ have an air of richness and elaborate finish about them creditable to the pains•taking of the artist. The cha racter of the plate is explained by a " Dramatic Sketch" from the pen of Mr. Serle, which is by many degrees the best thing in the volume.

An Annual which, both in the style of its embel lishments, and literary contents, is admirably adapted to the capacity of children.

PICTURESQUE ANNUAL. Longman : London, 1835. Mr. Leitch Ritchie, who is the Editor of this Annual, gives us in the present volume, the results of his desultory wanderings through a considerable por tion of European Russia. His sketchy narrative, we need not say, is written with liveliness, and that pe culiar tact, which long practice in doing books of travels Once or twice a year, never fails to give a man. In fact the pen of a practised tourist is visible in every page ; though nowhere do we find symptoms of that deeper perspicacity and intelligence which lent such a charm to the travels of the late Mr. Inglis. T 4 utmost we can say of the Editor of. the " Picturesque Annual" is, that he is an agreeable writer, who sees all that lies nn the surface, and knows admirably well how to cater for the tastes of the drawing-room. His details of his visit to St. Petersburgh ; of the state of so ciety in that imposing city—for all travellers concur in opinion that it is one of the finest cities in Europe, though of, comparatively speaking, such mo dern date—of its charitable institutions ; system of police ; and above all, of its origin under Peter the Great, who it is calculated, sacrificed the lives of " up wards of three hundred thousand men," in the perilous task of draining the marshes of the Neva, and laying the foundations of the future Russian metropolis ;—all these various details are given Mr. Ritchie, with much liveliness of manner, though with most of them the public has been for years acquainted, through the medium of at least a dozen books of travels. The anec dotes in particular of Peter the Great, and of his famous marriages of the dwarfs, may be met with in any of the numerous Memoirs of that extraordinary barbarian ; but, indeed, for aught we can see to the contrary, the whole amount of information which be has int . parted to us respecting St. Petersburgh, might have been supplied by Mr. Ritchie without ever stepping JIT TIM AUTHOR OF " OLD MAIDS."

With the Author's opinions respecting the Malthusian theories of population, we have been much gratified. The ladies are deeply in debted to him. The public will thank him for one of the most agreeably interesting works, that has appeared this season. NORMAN LESLIE: T4fIC OF TIM FRIKENT TIMES. BY THEODORE S. FAY. In 3 Vols. London : Macrone, 1835. This is a tale of American life. The author, in his Preface, says it is founded on an actual occurrence, which happened some years ago in New York ; and we are bound to believe him. Had he preserved silence on this point, we should have affirmed that the idea of the story was taken from Grattan's beautiful tale of the " Magic Lantern." Count Claremont is the very coun terpart of the stalwart and mysterious student of Got tingen, and many of the incidents so strikingly resem ble those related in that extraordinary fiction, that we can hardly divest ourselves of the belief, that Mr. Fa] must have been reading Grattan's tale immediate] , before writing his own. We subjoin the leading inci dents, without regard to the transpositions adopted b the author : Count Claremont—the principal personage in the talc, though ranked only as second—is an Italian ad venturer, who, from an episode in the story, appears to have studied for some time in a German University. There he distinguished himself for his brutality, and his extraordinary skill as a professed duellist. After killing several of his fellow-students, he was obliged to fly the country, and subsequently won the affection of an Italian girl, whom he married, and whose only brother he killed in a duel, for resenting the injury done to the honour of his family. From Italy he fled to America, and being in possession of considera ble wealth, created himself a Count, and an officer in the French army. SG important a personage, espe cially as he had the advantage of a good exterior, am the reputation of a marrying bachelor, was not liable to be treated with indifference by the democratic mo bility of the New World. On the contrary, the first men in the Union courted his intimacy, while their wives and daughters absolutely doated upon him. While paying his addresses to one of the latter the self-created Count quarreled with Norman Leslie, the son of a Member of Congress, and the hero of these volutnes- A conviction of the real character of the Count had flashed across the mind of the young American : in his rage he gave vent to his feelings, and the conse quence was a vow, on the Counts part, that he would have the life of the man who had dishonoured him. The Count subsequently prevailed upon a young lady to elope with him to Italy ; his wife, who had followed him, acted as his accomplice ; and as the lady, on the day of her mysterious disappearance, had been in the company of Leslie, suspicion fell upon him that he had murdered her. The Count remained in New York to assist at his prosecution ; he was tried and acquitted ; but such was the strong feeling against him, that he was con strained to fly to Italy. The details of his wanderings are unimportant. At Rome, during the celebration of the Carnival, he encountered his old and deadly enemy Claremont. We forgot to mention that Claremont had thrice previously attempted to assassinate •him, and that on one occasion, Leslie had received wounds which. nearly cost him his life. While Claremont Is in the SY R. P.. lucre D, X.E.S. Numbers XIII. and XIV. The subjects treated of in these Numbers of this curious and able work are the circulation of the blood, respiration, and metamorphoses. Under each of these branches we find some very interesting facts adduced to illustrate entomological physiology. The necessity of atmospheric air to insect life, and the organization which nature has adopted in the insect tribes, to pro duce the same effects which are produced by a different organization in other classes of animals, are pointed out with great clearness, and evince the indefatigable industry of the author in his researches in a region which we are `lad to observe is beginning to be better explored, and to attract more general notice than it has hitherto done. The study of nature in every form is delightful, and should to be encouraged, if for nothing else, for its tendency to raise the mind to the great Author of Nature, whose works, whether stupendous or minute, are equally impressed with the marks of wisdom and goodness, and are equally calculated to in spire sentiments of admiration and gratitude. It is with feelings of deep regret that we announce the sudden death of Mr. Alderman THORP, of Aldgate Ward, in the City. of London. The circumstances attendant upon this melancholy event have not yet reached us ; but the vacancy left in the representation of the City, renders it imperative upon us to take the earliest opportunity not only of stat ing the fact, but of offering a few words of advice to the citizens, touching what we conceive to be their duty to themselves and their country on so important an occasion. Most of the abuses perpetrated in the govern ment of the City are solely owing to the Toryism of the Court of Aldermen. There will now, of necessity, be a„new election for Aldgate Ward. Let a liberal Member—let Mr. SALOMONS—be chosen to fill up the vacancy. London has ' done itself immor tal honour by electing Mr. SALOMONS to the high office of Sheriff—his election was the triumph of the great principle of civil and religious liberty. We trust it will act in a manner worthy of itself, by elect ing him to discharge the functions of a Magistrate, and thus secure to enlightened freedom another great triumph. On Wednesday last, a numerous assemblage of the wealthiest and most intelligent Lords and Gentlemen of the county of Cornwall, connected with the Mines, met for the purpose of taking into consideration the present state of the Vice-Warden's Court, and other matters relating to the Mining Interests.—Cornwall Gazette. COLBURN'S " NAPOLEON MEMOIRS."—AI - though, in re-producing these Memoirs in cheap weekly numbers, Mr. Colburn has commenced with Las Cases's celebrated work, containing an account of the exile of the Emperor, as being one of the most interesting ; yet, we un derstand, that no delay will occur in issuing, on the same desirable plan, the narrative of his early career. For this purpose, undoubtedly, no one has at his' command such re sources as Mr. Colburn, who is, in fact, the possessor of the copyright of almost all the authentic Memoirs of Napoleon that have appeared, among which are those of Savary, Duke of Rovigo (the celebrated Minister of Police) ; the Count de Montholon ; Generals Gourgaud, Bertrand, and Rapp (the Secretary of the Cabinet) ; Baron Fain ; Dr. Antom marchi, &c. We observe already that " The Duke of Ro vigo's Memoirs" are announced for the present to appear in volumes at Six Shillings each, the first of which is now ready. BARTON THE HIGILWAYMAN.--TiliS noted cha racter, who a short time ago, shot at Mr. Matthew Frost, near Ashford, in which neighbourhood he also stopped se veral persons on the highway, appears to have removed his quarters. He has recently been pursuing his pilfering pur suits in the neighbourhood of Cuckney, Nottinghamshire. About four o'clock in the morning of the 2d ult. he stopped a person in the employment of the Duke of Portland, at the top of Warsop-hill, pointed a pistol at his head, anil threatened to blow out his brains if he made the least re sistance ; he took from the man lOs. or I Is., and various other articles. He soon afterwards stopped a person in the employ of Messi-S. Hollins, of Langwith, but some of the other workpeople coming up, he effected his escape. Barton, for whom a reward of twenty-five pounds is offered, is one of the most desperate characters in the country, is six feet one or two inches high, light whiskers down his face and under his chin, rather stoops when he walks, and turns in his toes ; he generally wears a rough brown shag-waistcoat, with sleeves, and a very broad-brimmed hat ; he has, we understand, for sometime past slept in the woods in the neighbourhood of Langwith ; be carries a brace Of pistols with him, and is a most determined fellow. He has lately escaped twe or three times from custody.-:—Perbyllierrvill. HUNTING APPOINTMENTS.

On Wednesday morning last, at the power-loom spin ning and weaving mill of Thomas Bowers and Company, at Levenshulme, situated between this town and Stockport, a man named William Worth was seen rushing from the pre mises, completely enveloped in flames. The occu pation in of Worth, as supennte ndant of the gas department, &c., -. volved such necessity for the occasional use of oil, that his clothes were saturated with that combustible material, and consequently the moment of ignition presented him as one a great majority of the numerous workmen em m:ss of flame. At this time nothing was known of the ac cidentthe mill ; but as it was so near the period of all were in a state of preparation for by ployed in k the doors were thrown open in antici departure of the hands. To this cir leaving for bi'takfast, censidered, a large portion of them that purpose, an, nears that the unfortunate man, pation of the usual contact with the rush of flame cumstanca, hamanly owe their lives ; for it ap, Worth, happened to come in conse quent upon the re-charge.ng of the gas-retort. His clothes immediately caught fire, ai.'d the confusion of the surrounding assistants, who were naturally more inte rested in the preservation of the m an than the pre mises, so diverted attention from the fact' that the flames luiti communicated from him to the combotibles around him, and thence to a wooden shed above, and their rapid progress extended in the space of ten minutes to the top of the building, which was five stories in height, having fourteen windows in length, and constituting, an elevation of about sixty feet, and a length of about forty yards. The scene which ensued beggars description. One poor girl, about sixteen years old, named Jane Whittaker, sprang in the terror of the first alarm from the attic story to the fearful depth below. She was taken up in a most deplorable state , but still with life. Her back was miserably crushed, and she was otherwise much injured. She was taken to the Infirmary, but with no hope of recovery. In the distrac tion which prevailed, the stairs being all on fire and every customary means of descent cut o, rol windows, and pes were attached to the lead pipes neare st the sev ff era terrified crowds that pressed for deliverance, male and f en t,',. l e, were one by one received by their friends below, on the completion of their perilous transit. In the meantime the flames spread with' frightful velocity. The first engine arrived from Stockport, but little effect was produced. The arrival shortly after, however, of powerful eogines, from Manchester, was attended with a better result. There was an abundant supply of water. The dwelling-Ixotoe attached to the pill, was saved, to gether with the grezter portion of two of the lower rooms at the south end of the mill, and a considetzble quantity of valuable property. Wort!i, as stated above, was enveloped in flames, which bu rst forth on an attemp t being made to recharge the gasom eter ; any- w hen the fire ha d nearl y burnt it s elf out, the suffe rer la y a blackened, shapeless mass, nothing being distinguishable but an encrustation of cinder. He was then quite insensible, buf, Afterwards recovered consciousness, and existed unti yesterday morning, when death relieved him. A young man named Thomson, whose exertions in re moving property from the burning edifice were conspicuous, was also severely hurt by the falling in of the stairs. The amount of inju r y sustained by the machinery is estimated at from twel ve to fifteen thousand poun the building, which produced a rental of 5001. per annum, is estimated at about the same amount as the machinery so that from twenty-five to thirty thousand pounds have been swallowed up by this fire. But a small portion of that sum, it is said, was assured. -...........„--- %wor SPORTING INT E LLIGENCE At the York Union Hunt Club Meeting, on Wednesday in last week, Mr. Robert's Lady Emily beat Mr. Metcalfe's Eli zabeth, in a match for 50 sovs. The Champagne Stakes were won by Mr. F.

Time was the favourite, more particu larly as the horse was alleged to be broken-winied, and evi. ee ,:tly looked nothing.
