By "ELIZABETH ISABiLiA Srishict, Author of " Letters front .the North Highlnds . ," and _" The Curate and his Daughter." In three Volumes. It is alwaysa pleasing task to trace the clevelope.. ment, or record the soccessittl progress,•of female talents. It k therefore with p l ecoliar satisfactionthat we announce the Publication of a New Novel by Miss SrRNCe, which, if we have any pretensions to critical sagacity, must considerably augment -the' reputation of the ingenious Author. As a No-' velist nod a Tonrist thii• has long been.cele bratcd; but had we no other acqUaititance with her pen than what we hare derived from the perusal of the present wink, we should not hesitate to class her with those few writers who have done honour' to their sex';' not metrly - :by an exhibition of their literary powers, but by the meritorious object to which those powers have uniformly been directed; not only becans&therhcive written iri a manner to extort applause, but because they have written only to inculcate sound principles, and, inspire' virtuous. and exalted sentinieuts. in the Travel- . ler's Tale, the Atithor,has been fortunate enough to disguise the lahoar and conceal the skill em ployed in its construction ; although coneeived in the spirit of romance, and well calculated to illustrate the fatal tendency of unbridled passion, it dkelaims all . pretensions to the language of romantic exaggeration, or to that marvellous re- ' dundance of invention which entirely overlooks sense and nature. It is no other than a plain do mestic story, related with such plausible, such unpretending simpliCity, that the suspicion of in vention is removed, and the recollection of fiction -suspended; the materials are well se:ected and happily combined; but the charm of he Traveller's Tale is to be traced to the rapidity, the -directuess,• with which the narrative proceeds, without ob struction from episodes or superfluous characters. - The Dramatis Persona are few, b'ur most judi ciously chosen to facilitate the'progress of the action ; the interest, concentrated in one object, never flags, nor, to use a theatricariiilusion, is the stage ever left to vacancy. •It must, however, be - admitred, that Miss SPENCE has sometimes di gressed, when, in conducting her heroine through some of the most beautiful scenes in Devonshire and Northandy, she has not resisted the fenipta don to exercise her well-known talent for pictu• resque description ; but for this occasional aber ration, we apprehend, that she may rather expect acknowledgments than reproaches ; and iittle should we admire the taste of that Reader who could not not wish her sentimental sketches extend- ed, not merely because they are more'vivid, more faithful, than those presented by other Tourists, hut because their extension, and the Author's plan, might have prolonged the pleasure to be derived horn the perusal. of these agreeabLe vo, lourie , ,,—We shall not forestall the pleasure of the Reader hy any Extracts which night leshen the interest of the story.

HERRING FISHERY. The Report of the Commissioners for the flee ring Fishery, of their proceedings for the, year ending the sth April, 13Ig, has been printed by order of the flotist of Commons. It concludes wittr.stating, the Commissioners think it inappa rent that t h e character of the British Fishery is rising both at home and abroad ; for while the quantity of herrings cured gutted is annually in cP easing,- the quantity cored ungutted is every year diminishing, and that the demand has kept pace with the quantity they gut. They have also to mention, that while the exportation to thd Continent of Europe has nearly equalled that of the preceding year, and 11;eexportatiowto Ireland and the West Indies has increased, a new market has opened in the East Indies, to which different shipments of herrings have been made, both from Greenock and London ; from the former with great success, but the result of the latter is not yet knOwn, and they trust that India will soya become a permanent and valuable market for this consumption of British herrings.
