The explosion happened at 8 o'clock in the morning, and at first it was thought the pit bad fired, but on the smoke clearing away the nature of the accident was ascertained. It appears that Bowley was 4 intrusted to take care of the boilers at bank, and finding as it is alleged, something wrong in boiler No. 2, he had E proceeded to examine it, and while standing on the top of it, it had exploded with terrific force, carrying the un fortunate man high into the air, and hurling him a dis -11 tanco of 200 yards from the pit. One of the 1( banksmen was blown over the bank a considerable 11 distance, and a brakesman was thrown into the engine house. Three firemen were very severely scalded, while several workmen were more or less injured. The body ! of the boiler opened out like a fan at the time of the ex plosion, and was carried over the engine-house and land ed in an adjoining field. One end of the boiler was like wise burled over the bank, and the other within a few 1 yards beyond where the body of Bewley was found. The body of Bowley was not much disfigured, but from the deep indentation made in the soil on the spot when it fell it was evident he must have been blown a .great height into the air. Y The boiler, weighing between two and three tons, was blown upwards of 100 yards from the place where the explosion occurred. Four men are very badly scalded, but hopes are entertained that they 'will recover. It did not transpire at the inquest, which is adjourned, how the explosion was occasioned, but it is supposed that Bewley, finding that the boiler was short of water, had attempted to hastily supply it, and bad thus caused the explosion, He is described as a steady man.

Ax ARTFUL DODGE.—James Randall, dressed in a sailor's frock, was charged with obtaining is. 6d. from a youth named Thomas Watts, of Plumstead, under the following circumstances : Hayton, police-constable 588, stated that he was on duty on Saturday last in the Minories. About half-past 5 o'clock he saw the prisoner walking along Emmett street with the complainant, and being well acquainted with the prisoner and his dodges he watched them into Vine-street, where he saw Watts give him some money and receive a parcel in return. He went up to Watts and asked him what he had got. He replied he had bought a parcel of tobacco of the prisoner for is. 6d. Watts handed witness the parcel, which was about one and a-half pounds size and weight, and on breaking it open, ho found it to contain dirt and filth, with a small piece of tobacco near a hole in the paper. Witness ordered the prisoner to return the lad his money, which he reluctantly did, and ran off, but was subsequently captured, and brought to the station house, where he was searched, but nothing particular was found on him besides his discharged note from his last ship. On his way to the station-house he said he bought the paroel for 25., and as he could not afford to lose the money he sold it for is. 6d. About 4 o'clock witness saw the prisoner take a countryman up a pas sage, and on his asking the latter what the prisoner wanted of him, he replied, "to sell me some 'baccy, but I was too old-fashioned for him." Watts stated that when the prisoner offered him the parcel for sale, he said it was tobacco he had pur chased of a man. He said it weighed 18 ounces, and asked 2.. 3d. for it, but subsequently agreed to take is -6d., which sum he paid him, and received the parcel. The prisoner said he was very sorry for what he had done, and repeated the statement he made to the police man. He was committed for trial. GUILDHALL ROBBING AN EMPLOY ER.—Alexander Johnson, a youth in the employ of Mr. Deputy Bedford, of Farringdon street, was placed at the bar before Mr. Alderman Finnis, charged with robbing his employer. It appeared from the evidence produced that the pro secutor had for some time missed goods from his pre anises, and not being able to detect the thief, he set a man to watch, the result of which was the detection of the prisoner in the act of taking a piece of cloth from one of the drawers in the shop, and his being watched to a pawnbroker for the purpose, it was supposed, of disposing of it, but finding he was watched by a police. man, he informed him he bad taken it from his master, but would not do it again. Alderman Finnis remanded the prisoner, to allow the officer to make inquiries relative to the other rob beries. Richard IfiMins was charged with stealing a piece of bacon from the shop of Mr. George Twogood, cheese• monger. It appeared from the evidence that the prisoner went to the prosecutor's shop en Saturday night to purchase some butter, and that whilst there he stole the bacon. When in custody he was searched and on him was 10s. 10d. in money, a frock, and a coat. The latter bad the price ticket on it, which excited the policeman's sue picions, and on making inquiries he found it had been stolen that evening from Mr. Groves, Lower Marsh, Lambeth. He was committed for trial. MARY LEBONE. JUVENILE DELINQUENCY.— TVilliarn, Sturge, a young urchin, only 12 years of age, was placed at the bar before Mr. Long, charged with having robbed his father, an honest and industrious man, living at 15, Lisson.grove. It appeared from the evidence that, on Wednesday last, the prisoner broke open his father's desk and stole therefrom 55., with which he made off. On Friday he was met with and brought back home, when, by way of punishment, he was tied up for a time in the room. He, however, contrived to release himself, and then again absconded, after having a second time broken open the desk alluded to, from which he took a crown piece. Information of his flight was given to the police, and he was yesterday taken into custody by Oakc, 255 D, who found him in a water-closet in Claremont-place, Linen grove. He admitted his guilt, and alleged that he had spent the whole of the money in "sweet stuff." He had nothing to Fay, and was committed to bard ' labour in the House of Correction for three months. ROBBERY OF A FEMALE.—J antes Brooks was charged with picking the pockets of Mrs. Mary Bottrell, residing at Coventry, of a purse containing twelve shillings and a railway return ticket. It appeared that about 11 in the morning prosecutrix alighted from an omnibus in the New-road, when she was pushed against by the prisoner and another man, the latter of whom speedily made off. She bad observed her purse in the s hand of the prisoner, who had no doubt given it to his companion, as it had not been found. He (prisoner) was taken into custody by police-constable Gould, 374 S. The prisoner was dealt with summarily under the new act, and sent to hard labour for six months. SOUTHWA.RK. ROBBING CHILDREN. - Ellen Reynolds, a young woman dressed in shabby black, with a small portion of a dark veil, which covered her features, was brought be fore Mr. Combe, charged with stealing a basket contain ing tea and sugar from a little girl named Ann Rotter, about 10 - years of ago. She is also suspected of robbing other children in various parts of London. The mother of the child said that on Saturday morn ing, the 15th inst., she sent her with a basket and money to purohase tea and sugar in Blackman-street. Finding she did not return in half an hour, she went in search of her, and found her up a court crying bitterly, at the same time being without the basket. She asked her what had become of it and the tea and sugar, when she said a lady dressed in black had taken it from her and ran away with it. Witness immediately proceeded to the police station and gave information, when it was ascertained that a female answering the prisoner's de scription had robbed other children about London. On Saturday morning last her litle girl was playing at the door in Whitecross-street, Union-street, when the pri soner came past. She immediately called out " Mother, come here; here's the lady who took the basket from me." Witness immediately went after her and stopped here at the same time telling her she had robbed her child of a basket, with some tea and sugar, on the Saturday previous. She denied it, but the child was so positive as to the identity that she called a constable, and gave her into custody. The child was not sworn owing to her being too young to know the nature of an oath, but she positively asserted that the prisoner was the party who took the basket from her. Inspector Mackenzie, M division, said he had re ceived several notes from various parts of London giving a description of a female like the prisoner going about London robbing children. The female in question is described as being strongly pock-marked, and a scar over her right eye. Mr. Combo ordered the prisoner to raise her ♦eil, when her appearance answered the description in every particular. Inspector Mackenzie asked for a remand to enable him to obtain the evidence of other persons whose children bad been robbed. Mr. Combe accordingly remanded her until to morrow. THAMES. SAVAGE ASSAULT ON A WIPZ BY HEE HUSBAND. , William, Bourne, a seaman, aged 42, of No. 35, Har. dinge-street, St. George's-in-the-East, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with violently assaulting Elizabeth Bourne, his wife, who is far advanced in preg nancy. who is many years younger than her rr h he us e l:a ni nd P , in' and na wh,o t was in a weakly condition from the effects of her husband's savage treatment, and whose face was in a frightful state, said she had been married to the prisoner for six years. Her husband had been aw ay in the barque C orona for about five and a - half mont h s , and he came home last Monday and joined No. 35, Hardinge-street. He arid threatening her ever g stigated to threaten and assault had her since, a been a n herd he (I l o u d aw g r ar i n se l g l i s i nn , her by an old woman, living at No. 18, Cha. pel-street, with whom he had lived, and who brought him up. On Wednesday he said the old woman had in formed him she was going to Australia with her child, and he taunted her, and said, in a very sneering tone— " You will go to Australia, will you," and he struck her in the face, and accused her of keeping him without his dinner. She told him there was food in the cupboard. A female named Ellen Murray interfered and prevented further ill usage. On Saturday he went to Green's Sailors' Home to receive his wages, and she followed after him with his child, and asked him for some money to purchase food. He refused to give her any, and ut tered the most dreadful oaths and imprecations, and re fused to go home with her. He also said he would help himself, and he had got money and would keep it, and aid.l 25 St. 20 St. St. to 10 5 2( 18 20 20 tO all 101 all i 0 1 all 15 I 5 30 25 20 all !G 5 50 20 50 10 )0 20 DO 35 0 226' CI all all 0 25 S) all 5 1 5 all ;5 all 16 - 4; -4: 5} - 53 - P 3} - 3i 21 - 3 i 241 - 24 99 - 101 115 - 117 116 -- 119 107 108 234 - 2 4 11'3 - 116 ai - 6 7 19 -20 1 1. 7 9 2 - 3 5 -5, 5 - 5 35 35 12 - 12 - 9 441 - 45f.' - :i ... pn► 20 21 2 I,d+ U? -• pm 3i - 4 ion il~pl ••• ''''''. ..• --- •• 18 - 19 50 50 ad, so 25 83 5i 69i 5335 i 761 9i 24 6; V 6 I St. 92 St. 83i 2i St. 20 St. 15 85i i 38 57 7 I fi 32 1 12.

He then went to the old woman's house in Hardingc-street, and he gave the old woman all the mosey. She asked the old woman for some money, and that person sneered at her and said she would keep it, and not give her any. She endeavoured to take some money from the old woman's hand, and that person held her by the hand and the hair of her head, and the prisoner bit her in the face with his fist, and gave her a black eye. The old woman called out, " Don't hit her in the face, Bill, for your own sake ; give it her about the body." The prisoner then beat her with great violence about the shoulders, neck, and body, and said he would kill her. She called out " mur• der," and becamd quite senseless. Ellen Murray said she went with the complainant to the old woman's house, and soon afterwards beard screams of "murder," and saw Mrs. Bourne come out of the house covered with blood, and her face marked. The prisoner had beaten kis wife on his return from former voyages, and he quarrelled with ber and beat her on Friday, and then left her and went to the old wo man's house and slept there all night. Mrs. Ann Haines, an aged woman, said she lived in Cnapel-street, St. George's, and had brought up the pri soner from his infamy and looked upon him as her son. She accused the wife of infidelity and general bad con duct, and said the complainant had a child by another man while he- husband was at sea. Sarah Nicholls, a south-wester maker, said the com plainant attacked Mrs. Haines, and that the prisoner defended her and struck his wife. Mr. Yardley, after a long investigation, examined the defendant's certificates, and said he was very sorry that a man whose character for ability and conduct was de scribed as very good should have committed such a savage assault on his wife, especially as she was at the present time five months a,dvanled in preg nancy. The prisoner was not to blame for an attachment to the old woman, but his wife had a prior claim upon him. If the wife had been guilty of adultery the prisoner could leave her, and was not bound to support her ; but he would say, in passing, there was no evidence that she had been faithless. He was afraid the old woman bad too much influence over the prisoner, and bad poisoned bis mind against the wo man he was bound to cherish and protect. He sen tenced the prisoner to three months' imprisonment and hard labour. The magistrate, in conclusion, said, "He has to thank you for that, Mrs. Haines." SPORTING NOTES. NEWMARKET AND NORTHALLERTON. The memorable Acrobat and Dervish correspondence seems about to be imitated. The Squire has rushed into print, and has boldly Bet to work to extenuate his con duct with reference to Rifleman, and to explain that horse's inconsistent running at Doncaster. His state, meats are plausible, and may have their foundation in truth, for people of experience on the turf will readily remember performances even more extraordinarily "in and out " than those of Rifleman. The appearance of the horse, however, when stripped before the St. Leger, was certainly sufficient to alarm his backers and excite the worst suspicions. Tho running on Friday, too, was calculated to resolve the doubts which were then enter tained into certainties. Still the "diabolical hints and damnable innuendoes" which are publicly circulated should be received with caution, for people who lose their money say many things in their haste, justified, per haps, by appearances, but unwarranted by facts. Rifleman is certainly something like the Lady mentioned in the School for Scandal, who recovered her shape in the most marvellous manner, for one day he so is lame that he can scarcely limp to his stable, and the next he is sound enough to run and win a severe race ! For the present I shall reserve my judgment on this case of Rifleman v. Saucebox. Mr. Osbaldeston has expressed his readiness to make the proposed match between the two horses. Should it take place circumstances will render it deeply interesting, and it will be even more exciting than was the encounter between Mountain Deer and Teddington. _ _ _ The Manchester Meeting was an unmitigated failure, and it will doubtless be discontinued. The incidents which marked the sport were unimportant. Lady Bird was an immense " pot" for the Wilton Handicap, arid both Mary and Polo Star were withdrawn to guard against spoiling the "good thing." A repetition of the Warwick Squaring seemed about to be made, but when the numbers were placed on the telegraph and showed five runners, the betting unihrwent a significant change with reference to the favourite. La•ly Bird was the first beaten in the race, and Ga,tnelad won easily. Garnelad, with " 7lbs extra," followed up his success on Friday by winning the Northern Metropolitan, sn,l hi two achievements caused attention to be directed to his Cesare witch chance. The autumn campaign at bead-quarters will commence to-morrow, and will doubtless be marked by events of unusual importance. The Eastern Counties Handicap is the leading item on Tuesday's programme, and it is likely to occasion an interesting encounter. Old Ephesu, heads the list at 03t, and the remembrance of the gallant style in which ho " cat down" Early Bird, Dervish, and King of Trumps for the County Plate at York, induces me to believe him capable of defeating whatever op ponents he may encounter tomorrow. Para and Chalice stand next in my estimation. The Triennial Stakes will not excite unusual interest. King Torn will make his "re-appearance" to-morrow. The Triennial for two-yr-olds I ,hail assign to Aleppo. Rifleman will, perhaps, win his en gagement on Thursday. Spindle has 6lbs. extra to carry for th': Hopeful Stakes, but that addition•.el weight will scarcely destroy her chance. For the Grand Duke Mi chael the sweets of success may be tasted with Claret. Should Polmoodie start for the Buckingham Stakes he will doubtless experience little difficulty i❑ winnin . g. In his absence I shall prefer "my own Blue Bell." For the St. Leger I shall select Habena. Southern spoitsmen will regard the meetings ap pointed to take place at Northallerton and Moaraouth with indifference. The sport is not likely to be either plentiful or interesting at the North Riding Meeting. Byrsa and Mirage may make a good race for the Two- Yrs-Old Stakes, and it is probable that they will catch the judge's eye in the order in which I have set down their names. The North Riding Handicap numbers eighteen nominations, of which the names of Talfourd and Braxey appear most attractive. Biron may carry off the Northallerton Handicap. Tho Monmouth Meeting is so remote and inaccessible to southern Turfites that it would be useless to prate o' its promise of sport. Sept. 24.

Old wheats supported previous rates in most of the country markets held on Saturday, but new qualities ruled dull, at a decline of from Is. to 2s. per quarter. There was a fair amount of business doing in spring corn and flour, at full quotations. Our advices from New York state that lar;e quantities of grain and flour were in course of shipment to England. The French markets are very brisk, and dearer. Those in the Lower Baltic continue active. Up to our market, last week, the receipts of English grain were very moderate. From abroad we received 5,450 quarters of wheat, 530 barley, 3,598 oats, 200 beaus, 18 peas, 37 tares, 4,092 linseed, 2,546 rapeseed, 52 sundry seeds, and 812 sacks of flour. The supply of English wheat received fresh up to our market this morning, coastwise, was on the increase, and we had an extensive arrival by land carriage. At least four-fifths of the arrivals were of the present year's growth, and in full average condition. In the early part of the day the demand for all kinds was in a very sluggish state, although there were several buyers in the market from France. It continued heavy for some time, and prices at length gave way from is to 2s per quarter, without much progress being made in sales. Thare was only a moderate show of foreign wheat. We had a fair sale for most kinds, chiefly on Conti nen t a l ac count, at full quotations ; but for home consumption v er y little business was doing, on former terms. Floating cargoes of grain were held at very full prices. Scarcely any barley, either English or foreign, was on show, and the whole was readily disposed of at very full prices. The malt trade was firm, and fine qualities were rather dearer. Oats, the supply of which was limited, sold to a fair extent, at full quotations. The few beans in the market were taken at fully previous rates. White peas were br;sk, and fully 2s dearer. Other kinds supported last week's currency. We had a fair sale for flour, and some Spanish sold for Fi loco at f air full prices. The exports from London last week were nearly 7,000 sacks. CURRENCY PER, IMPERIAL MEASURE.

In the latter country, production can scarcely keep pace with the foreign demand. There was a full averag,o supply of foreign stock here, to-day, it middling condition. The arrivals of stock from Ireland, last week, direct by sea, were 141 beasts. To-day, there were on sale 311 beasts, and 1,500 sheep, together with 200 pigs from DT,- lin and Cork, via Liverpool. Their general quality was good. From our own grazing distr'-cts, the receipts of beasts fresh up this morning - Nero tolerably good as to number, but, very deficient in quality. From Scotland no stock came fresh to hand. For most breeds we had a slow trade, at Friday's decline in the quotations of 2d. per Sibs. The top figure for beef was 4s 8d per 81bs. The receipts of beasts from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and Northamptonshire, were 2,200 short horns, and from other parts of England 500 of vari.us breeds. The re mainder of the supply was derived from Ireland and the Continent. Although there was a considerable falling off in the sup ply of sheep compared with Monday last, the mutton trade was in a sluggish state. In prices, however, no change took place. The best old Downs realised 5s per Sibs. Prime small calves sold steadily, at very fall prices. Otherwise the veal trade was heavy, at barely late rates. There was a fair demand for pigs, and last week's cur rency was well supported.

By Cap tain Rafter, author of " The Guards," and " Our Indian Army." 3 vols. Hurst and Biackett. This story consists of a series of sketches in the life of a young officer. It is described in a vivid and graphic manner, and the style is flowing and agreeable. The Adventures of the hero are many and various, and in the course of their occurrence the reader is made acquainted with numerous in dividuals ; and is introduced to all grades of so ciety in the differing countries of Ireland, Spain, and India. Percy Blake early commenced his career in the militia, where he was inducted into the mysteries of his future life. At first they were trivial circumstances that occupied his time. In explanation of this he remarks, that " our youth is spent in killing time, and our age in repenting of the murder." Some of the anecdotes are very amusing, one of which was his sending a letter of remonstrance to his commanding officer, in conse quence of his supplanting him in dancing with an heiress. Another lady, whom he admired greatly, was Mary Anstruther, but he was again unfor tunate, for an old uncle came up from the country, and chancing to come in contact with Percy, as the latter was hastening to pay his respects to the ladies, he exclaimed, " Keep your distance, sir." A few weeks afterwards Percy Blake was summoned to protect his mill that was set on fire by some miscreants. After some time the unlucky owner of the property was dis covered at the top of the house screaming for as sistance. On his appealing to Percy for assistance, the latter curtly replied, " Excuse me, sir, I know how to keep my distance." It may be suggested by some that this is. carrying on a joke too far, in the presence of actual danger, but the testy old uncle was speedily released—not, however, to be grateful forpreservation;h e was too i n di gn autathisdetentior. An interesting epi so d e i s introduced of the escape of a French prisoner. The two sisters, the supposed country cousin, are all very ingeniously described, and the sudden transitio n f rom j ealousy to astonish ment, and thence to generosity, is natural in the conduct of a hasty, kind-hearted person, like Percy Blake. The good action was not thrown away ; for, afterwards, in a battle-field of Spain, " even where the thickest of war's tempests lowered," Percy Blake met the hero-of the escapade of that dreary night in Ireland. He was then the pre server, instead of the preserved. An exciting scene is given of a court-martial, in which an uncle of Percy's was implicated. Flaherty was in the ranks, but his nephew generously came forward and by his adroitness contrived to outwit his ene mies, and proved that his uncle had been unfortu nate and imprudent, but not guilty. He was ac quitted by the Court, and his nephew obtained much credit for so boldly befriending him when in disgrace. But his accuser, Hopkins, a captain in Percy Blake's regiment, was not so easily appeased. Having previously formed a dislike to our hero, he seized this opportunity to revenge himself ; and being a first rate duellist, he determined to pro voke him to a challenge. He therefore took occasion, in the presence of others, to offer him in sults he could not pass unnoticed, and the result was a duel in which both combatants were wounded. Hopkins was confined to his room for some months, and his opponent prevented by a fractured arm from accompanying his regiment to the Peninsula, as ho had hoped, and intended to do. As he had long been seeking an oppor tunity of winning that distinction on which he had placed all his hopes, he seized the first occa sion to join his company at his own expense, and his solitary journey across the disturbed peninsula presents some striking scenes and descriptions to the reader. One of the most remarkable of those is his assumption of the dress of a Spanish senora, in order to avoid detection by a company of French soldiers. This disguise is, however, discovered, and he is only rescued from immediate death by the energy of the fair Maria, his companion, who stabs several men in his defence, leaving him more horrified at her murdering propensities than grateful for her de votion. He finally escapes through the interven tion of a band of Guerillas. While in Spain he becomes attached to a young orphan novice, who consents to an elopement; but, unfortunately, when everything for their flight was prepared the com mander-in-chief forbids the officer's departure. After some time the fair Julia fulfilled her original intention, and became a Lady Abbess. Notwith standing these misfortunes Percy Blake preserved his love of military fame, and bad the satisfaction of joining Picton's division in the storming of Ciu dad Rodrigo. Here he had anarrow escape, being (ale of the many sufferers from the explosion of a maga zine. His promotion subsequently removed him to India. Several amusing anecdotes are narrated of his various adventures there, commencing with his inauspicious visit to Julia Monson, a lady to whom ho had become much attached in his voyage out, and to whose residence lie proceeded ; but an ob stacle opposed itself to the furtherance of their ac quaintance in the person of the aunt, a most ludi crous character, who made absurd mistakes, and blamed others for the consequences of them. Percy Blake resigned the affair in despair, and re turned to his new friends. " A day in the Jungle" is entertaining, and the new coiner proved himself a novitiate in Oriental subjects by flinging hinise3f down to rest in awaiting his companions, on what he thought the stem of a palmyra tree, but what was really a monstrous boa constrictor. His dis may was great on being apprised of his mistake. A deep:laid plan and subtle trick of the Brahmins was clearly detected by Dr. Scott, of the -- Re giment, at the time when it was about to lead the hero into serious consequences. In a skirmish about some trifle Percy Blake had struck a Brahmin, who pretended instantly that he was dead, and with many forms and ceremonies his companions brought the corpse to the tent of the major, who was horrified, and on the point of sending Blake to Madras, when the Doctor skil fully detected the cheat. Not permitted to touch the body, he poured some sealing wax which he had ignited, upon the defunct, who started into life and fled away. Among numerous stirring events time passed on, and Percy Blake had the happi ness of rescuing Julia, who •had married another through treachery of her friends, from great danger, and restoring her to her family. A painful inci dent is recorded of the break-up of the monsoon, in which awful scene the unfortunate Croker, a favourite friend and companion of Percy's, was drowned. This was the hero's last tie to India. Ho had retired from the service in India owing to some misunderstandings that had arisen, and returned home. Here, after some time, he mot, in travelling, his beautiful cousin Honoria, whom he had introduced to our notice at the com mencement of the story. After so many various attachments that had been rejected, prevented, and forbidden, it was a relief and a privilege to find one who had been true B ud faithful totheepflialyis mate of her childhood t hrou g h the years esxtriilkeinagndsnetchteacvlearieofus changes lifeisprese o n f te t d he in w t o h rl e d ge . ve A . lumes.

By M. Ka vanagh. 3 vo's. Newby. The scene of this story is laid in the Holy City, and its epoch is in the reign of Herod, about 30 years before the Christian era. Its hero is the only brother of Herod's unfortunate Queen, Ma riamne. They were the last of the race of the Maccabees, the only descendants of the Asmonian princes. Both fell victims to the cruelty and evil passions of Herod. He was always jealous of the popularity of Aristobulus, and this feeling was greatly increased by the proposal of some in discreet partisans to promote him to the sov ereignty on the day of his a s High Priest. He disseuibled his i him for some time, but on being n furtherps r t i a t ne l l ea a eli t : D i o hgs n e in censed by the haughty temper of - the decided on havingprivately murdered as if by accident. A day of sports and rejoicing unfortu nately afforded many opportunities for the crime, and after escaping many dangers, the ill fated Aristobulus was intentionally drowned in a swim ming race by two of the King's dependents. This tragedy concludes the book, as it purposes merely to relate the history of the Prince, and does not touch upon the still darker story of his unfortunate sister, whose sacrifice to Herod's jealousy has en gaged the pens of poets and romancists. Ths violent and envious Herod, his wicked sister and evil genius Salome, the beautiful and virtuous Mariamne, and her cunning and crafty mother Alexandra, whose idol is her son, all occupy pro minent places in the story, while several minor characters serve to e fill up the tale and diver sify the i n terest. The love story of Julia and Asop, the Egyptian, forms a pleasing con trast to the dark and angry feelings and mali cious plots that form the events of the narrative. The total novelty of the scene and characters may afford a refreshing change to those who are weary of narratives of modern life, though the passions of the human heart, and their influ ence over the actions of men, present the same features in all times and countries. The well known features of the story may also prove an at traction to those who find an interest iu historical romance. 1855.
