MARLBOROUGH-STREET. PICKPOCKETS AT A " PUNCH AND JUDY" SHOW.— James Burns, a young man, was ch rged as follows : Lambert, 68 E, said that on the previous night, about half past 8, he saw the prisoner and another man at the corner of Percy-street, Tottenham-court-road, There was a large crowd at the spot at the time, looking at a " Punch and Judy" show, and from the prisoner's peculiar actions he was induced to watch him, and he then saw him put his hand into a female's pocket. He (Lambert) then attempted to seize the prisoner, when he made off with his companion. A gentleman then pursued the prisoner, and he (Lambert) ascertained from the female that she had been robbed, and went after the prisoner, and took him into custody. Prisoner said, instead of running away, he walked com fortably, and if he had taken the money, why was it not found on him ? Mr. Tyrwhitt said his companion had a very good oppor tunity of taking it with him. He had no doubt the pri• soner had committed the robbery, and he should commit him for trial. Prisoner—Why, I wasn't there; most decidedly not, sir. Committed for trial. THAMES. CHARGE OF MANSLAUGHTER.—Thomas Madeley, a tall, powerful, and ruffianly-looking fellow, described as a gan lock maker, aged 39, was brought before Mr. Selfe charged with manslaughter in "killing and slaying" William Silvester, who died in the London Hospital, on 'Wednesday evening last. The deceased was a cigar maker, and on Saturday night last he accompanied his brother, James Silvester, to the White Hart public-house, in Hooper-square, Whitechapel. The prisoner and many others were there. The deceased and the prisoner were "chaffing" each other, and a good deal of very offensive language was used by the two men. Their passions were inflamed, they became angry with each other, and the prisoner rose from his seat and made five or six blows at the deceased, who was seated in a corner. The deceased's brother, James Silvester, a very respectable man, inter fered, and the prisoner struck him. The landlord of the White Hart then came into the tap-room, and said he would have no fighting there. James Silvester and others suc ceeden in putting Madeley out of the room. The deceased, who was a slight man, and no match for the prisoner, soon afterwards left the room, and was going along the passage of the house towards the street, when Madeley and another man wished the deceased to go out and settle their diffe rences in the street. The deceased refused, and his brother made every effort to restore peace. The prisoner, however, would not be pacified, and attacked William Silvester again, got him into a corner, and pummelled him. The prisoner threw the deceased and then fell upon him heavily. The bystanders interfered, pulled the prisoner off the deceased, and raised the latter from the ground. He was unable to walk and called out, " My leg is broken." A cab was im mediately procured, and the unfortunate man was taken to the Hospital. Thomas West said the deceased's thigh was smashed. James Silvester said "My brother received a most fearful injury; the bone of his thigh was broken, and sticking out." The witnesses, in answer to Mr. Selfe, said the prisoner was the worse for liquor on Saturday night. Police-Sergeant Joe, 14 H, produced a needical certifi cate, stating that the injuries deceased received was the cause of death. Mr. Selfe remanded the prisoner for a week. ABDUCTION OF A JEWESS. The case of taking away a Jewish girl under age, tried before the Court of Assizes of the Puy-de-Dome, of which mention has already been made, occupied the Court the whale of last week, and was only concluded at midnight on Tuesday. The trial excited an extraordinary interest in the department, but the facts were very simple. A Dutch Jew, of the name of Meyer Linnowiel, a hawker by calling, many years ago abandoned his wife in Holland, and formed an in timate connexion with ancther woman of the name of Van Vien, who has since borne him not fewer than nine chil. dren. This couple came to France, and in 1843, one of the nine children, named Sarah, was born at a place called Belle-Barmontaise, department of the Crouse. The parents placed the child under the care of a nurse, and for a time paid regularly for her maintenance. But at length they fell into such distress that the Israelite community of Clermont had to take charge of the child. That body confided her to a married couple of the name of Estener, shopkeepers in the town, and those per sons having no children of their own, conceived a, great affection for the girl. She lived with them untillB6;o, when they both died ; and Estener by his will left to her nearly all he possessed, which, however, was not much. During her long stay with that couple she frequently corresponded with her parents, who continued to follow their calling of hawkers ; and her father often wrote to the Esteners to ex press his gratitude for their kindness. Estener by his . ll instituted one Collat, usher of the Imperial Court at Riom, his executor, and on his deathbed made that man and his (Collat's) wife promise that they would take good the car Collate received e Co o l fthe a while her parents wrote to say that they would take Afterhouse charge of her, but the Collate begged that she might remain girl. theA Riom. te After ners, ir r l in theto their death of at tho Rio Esteners, with them for a time. An uncle of the girl, a tradesman at Auxerre, also expressed a wish to receive her, but she was not allowed to go to him. In the lifetime of the Esteners, the Collate, unknown to the latter, had endea voured to convert the girl to Christianity, and had produced such an effect o n h er m i n d th a t s h e wen t t o a p r i e st at Riom and begged to be baptised, but was refused, in June, 1860, her father arrived unexpectedly at Riom, and calling on Col lat and his wife required them to give up the girl; they were greatly annoyed, and Sarah herself manifested reluctance to leave. Some discussion took place, and at last Mme. Collat said to her " Go away and hide yourself, Sarah I" and the girl slipped out of the room, and secreted herself on the roof. Her father finding that she did not return sought for her in the house, but in vain. As soon as the father went:out, she proceeded to the residence of an elderly un married female named Legay, a friend of the Collats. This woman, who had also attempted to convert the girl, strongly recommended her not to think of returning to her parents and the next day sent her,lin the disguise of a domes tic to:the Carmelite convent at Riom. About that time the affair of the abduction of Jewish girls by the Abbe Mallet made a great noise and the Superior of the convent began to conceive fears that she might incur trouble by keeping the girl in the establishment. She accordingly ar ranged with Mlle. Legay to have her conveyed to Mme. Coiffier, mother of one of the nuns, at a village a few miles from Riom. The girl was taken there in disguise by Mlle. Legay's servant, and in order that she might not be seen by any one was covered carefully over in a cart. After a few days' stay there she was removed in disguise by Mme. Collat to the convent de Bon Secours at Riom. All this time her father and uncle were looking for her:everywhere, but without success. They at last complained to the law au thorities, who also sought for her, but the girl could not be discovered, the Collats and Mlle. Legay repeatedly declaring that theyknew nothing of what had become of her. At length, the Superior of the convent de Bon S ecours, b ecom i ng alarmed at the frequent inquiries made about her, begged Mme. Collat and Mlle. Legay to take her away ; they re moved her disguised as an old woman to a house of the latter in the country. But as she was not in safety there, they in a day or two sent her to the house of one Julien ; and as she had to pass through Riom, they made her put on the dress of a workman, assuming a masculine bearing, and smoking a cigar ! After stopping some days with Julien, she was sent to the Convent de la Misericorde at Combrondre, and her name was changed to Marie Alex andra. From the fear that she might be found there, she was after a while placed in a boarding-school at Passy, near Paris, and was subsequently admitted to the convent of Sainte Mathilde, near Corbeil, which is under the direc tion of the Abbe Ratisbonne. But the Abbe being unwil ling to assume the responsibility of keeping her, insisted that she should be removed, and she was then placed in the Convent du Sacre Coeur at Paris. Before long she was conveyed to the Convent du Bon Pasteur, at Le Puy. At length her father, being unable to find her, complained to the Minister of Justice, and by order of his Excellency a rigorous search was instituted. The result was the dis covery of the girl in the convent, and she was given up to her father. In all these removals Collat and his wife, and Mlle. Lem , were, it was alleged, concerned ; and, in addition, it was shown, that in order to baffle the search for the girl they had caused her to write letters in which she declared at she had become a Christian, and would not return to her parents, which letters they got posted at Mar seilles, Vienna, &c. In consequence the said three per sons were accused of the crime of abduction of a minor. The number of witnesses examined was unusually great, and it was shown that the girl herself was of an imaginative character, and rather liked the frequent removals and dis guises. The jury, after a long deliberation, returned a ver dict'of acquittal for the three accused, as far as the charge of abduction was concerned, but Collat was ordered to pay 3,000 f, damages to the father and mother of the girl, who appeared as patio civik, THIRD EDITION.

The Lancet of the 30th of November contains an important Report upon the Adulteration of Pickles, Bottled Fruits, and Vegetables, of which the follow ing is a summary : Of seven samples of greengages examined, four were found to be coloured with copper. Of five samples of gooseberries analysed, three contained that powerful and poisonous metal. A sample of rhubarb was also coloured with copper. Of ten samples of pickles, including French beans, gherkins, mixed pickles, and West India pickles, copper was found, in some cases in large amount, in seven of the samples. Of five tins of preserved peas tested, that metal was present in two of the samples. Of four samples of haricot verts or French beans, three were highly coloured with copper, as well as a sample of mixed vegetables. Thus of 35 samples analysed, copper was present, frequently in considerable amount, in no less than 21 of the samples, or nearly two thirds. This result the lancet regards as most disgrace ful, and states that there is no excuse for it what ever. Bottled and preserved fruits and vegetables do not in their preparation come in contact with copper at all, and pickles may be prepared in uten sils of iron. The pickles thus made are less green ; but the fact of their being of better flavour and much more wholesome ought to be more than suffi cient to counterbalance so trifling a disadvantage. The blame in this case is asserted to rest mainly with certain of the manufacturers and preparers of these articles. If these would set their faces against a pratice so dangerous there would soon be an end of this disgraceful adulteration. It sW,uld be known that the addition of copper to any vegetable substance used as an article of food is a violation of the recent act for the Prevention of Adulteration, and exposes the parties to prosecution. THIS DAY'S MARKETS. CORN EXCHANGE. The show of samples of English wheat here to-day was much restricted, and the trade, both for red and white qualities, ruled firm, at quite previous prices. In foreign wheat sales progressed slowly, Nevertheless prices were maintained. The supply on offer was tolerably extensive. Floating cargoes of grain changed hands to a fair extent on former terms. With barley, we were very moderately supplied, yet the trade was in a sluggish state, at fully Monday's decline in the quotations. Good and fine malt sold steadily, at full currencies; but inferior parcels were a slow inquiry. Oats were in steady request, at Monday's prices. The supply on offer was Tory moderate. Both beans and peas moved off slowly, at late rates. In flour a hinted business was transacted, yet the quota tions generally ruled firm. ARRIVALS THIS WEEK. Wheat. Barley. Malt. Oats. Flour.

TIIE ANNUAL CONCERT OF THE E DIVISION Yesterday evening the annual concert of the above division took place, at the Music Hall, Store-street, Bedford-square, on w hich occasion there was a very full attendance, and a most interesting and well-selected programme put forth The band of the E Division (led by the bandmaster, Mr. Lake) were, of course, the instrumentalists, and executed several pieces in a manner that drew forth the warm appro bation of the visitors. The vocalists were Miss Eliza Rycroft, Miss Schofield, Mr. Bennett, and Mr. Mason, and Stevens's Glee Union. There were several encores, and all seemed much delighted with the entertainment. The arrangements were conducted by Inspector Pierce, and by the excellent management of Mr. Superintendent O'Brien the affair was so managed that the duties of the police were not in the least interfered with. The musical movement among the police, judging by appearances last night, is undoubtedly, bringing the public and the police more in harmony with each other. NEWGATE AN Full average supplies of me.

Sketches of the Natural History of Ceylon, with _Narratives and Anecdotes. With engravings from original drawings. By Sir J. Emerson Tennent,K.C.S., LL.D., &c., author of " Ceylon." Longman. It is now two years since Sir J. Tennent pub lished his work on Ceylon, which enjoyed so great a success and attained such deserved popularity. This volume is the reproduction of the geological section of that work, with considerable alterations and extensive additions. The suggestion was made to the author to present the public with those in teresting details in a more complete form than was possible in the large edition, and the result has been eminently satisfactory. It is not often we meet with so instructive a work on this topic, and the skill with which its component parts have been ar ranged reflects the highest credit on the author. The variety met with in these pages is most surprising, and there are few readers who will not find their knowledge considerably extended when they peruse these accounts. The author explains his reason for giving so much space to the elephant, on the score that few works contain illustrations of its instincts and functions when wild in its native woods. " They chiefly refer to its habits when in captivity, and as the opportunities for observing them in a natural state abound in Ceylon, the author took every op portunity of collecting facts and making personal observations regarding its peculiarities. So me o f it s habits are most strange, and excite our wonder and astonishment. For instance, we note the follow ing : If by any accident an elephant becomes hopelessly separated from his own herd, he is not permitted to attach himself to any other. He may browse in the vicinity, or frequent the same place to drink and to bathe ; but the in tercourse is only on a distant and conventional footing, and no familiarity or intimate association is under any circum stances permitted. To such a height is this exclusiveness carried, that even amidst the terror and stupefaction of an elephant corral, when an individual, detached from his own party in the melee and confusion, has been driven into the enclosure with an unbroken herd, I have seen him repulsed in every attempt to take refuge among them, and driven off by heavy blows with their trunks as often as he attempted to insinuate himself within the circle which they had formed for common security. There can be no reasonable doubt that this jealous and exclusive policy not only con t ibutes to produce, but mainly serves to perpetuate, the class of solitary ele2hants which are known by the term goondahs, in India, and which from their vicious propen sities and predatory habits are called Hora, or Rogues, in Ceylon. ''lt is believed by the Singhalese that these are either in dividuals who by accident have lost their former associates and become morose and savage from rage and solitude; or else that being naturally vicious, they have become daring from the yielding habits of their milder companions, and eventually separated themselves from the rest of the herd which had refused to associate with them. Another con jecture is, that being almost universally males, the death or capture of particular females may have detached them from their former companions in search of fresh alliances. It is also believed that a tame elephant escaping from captivity, unable to rejoin its former herd, and excluded from any other, becomes rogue' from necessity. In Ceylon it is generally believed that the 'rogues' are all males (but of this I am not certain), and so sullen is their disposition that although two may be in the same vicinity, there is no known instance of their associating, or of a rogue' been seen in company with another elephant." Concerning the age of the elephant there are par ticulars given which will interest the naturalist, and convey some notion of the longevity of this strange creature : " The duration of life in the elephant has been from the remotest times a matter of uncertainty and speculation. Aristotle says it was reputed to live from two to three hun dred years, and modern zoologists have assigned to it an ago very little less ; Cuvier allots 200, and De Blainville. 120. The only attempt which I know of to establish a period historically or physiologically is that of Fleurens, who has advanced an ingenious theory on the subject in his treatise De la Longevite Humaine.' He assumes the sum total of life in all animals to be equivalent to five times the number of years requisite to perfect their growth and de velopment; and he adopts as evidence of the period at which growth ceases, the final consolidation of the bones with their epiphyses; which in the young consist of carti lages ; but in the adult become uniformly osseous and solid. So long as the epipyses are distinct from the bones, the growth of the animal is proceeding, but it ceases as soon as the consolidation is complete. In man, according to Fleu rens, this consummation takes place at 20 years of age, in the horse at 5, in the dog at 2 ; so that conformably to this theory the respective normal age for each would be 100 years for man, 25 for the horse, and 10 for a dog. As a datum for his conclusion Fleurens cites the instance of one young elephant in which at 26 years old, the epipyses were still distinct; whereas in another, which died at 31, they were firm and adherent. Hence he draws the inference that the period of completed solidification is 30 years, and consequently that the normal age of the elephant is 150 I "Amongst the Singhalese the ancient table of the ele phant attaining to the ago of 200 or 300 years still prevails ; but the Europeans, and those in immediate charge of tame ones, entertain the opinion that the duration, of life for about 70 years is common both to the man and the elephant ; and that before the arrival of the lattir period, symptoms of de bility and decay ordinarily begin to manifest themselves. Still, instances are not wanting in Ceylon of trained decoys that have lived for more than double the reputed period in actual servitude. One employed by Mr. Cripps in the Seven Korles was represented by the Corrowe people to have served the King of _Kandy in the same capacity 60 years before ; and amongst the papers left by Col. Robert son (son to the historian of Charles V.). who held a com mand in Ceylon in 1799, shortly after the capture of the island by the British, I have found a memorandum show ing that a decoy was then attached to the elephant estab lishment at Matura, which the records proved to have served under the Dutch during the entire period of their occupa tion (extonding to upwards of 140 years) ; and it was said to have been found in the stables by the Dutch on the ex pulsion of the Portuguese in 1656." There are some curious details concerning the mystery attending dead elephants. The author has been assured by frequenters of the forest that they had never found the remains of an elephant that had died a natural death. It said the natives declare that the survivors of the herd bury such of their companions as die a natural death. Also, it is said that— " The Singhalese have a further superstition in relation to the close of the life of the elephant; they believe that, on feeling the approach of dissolution, he repairs to a soli tary valley, anti there resigns himself to death. A native who accompanied Mr. Cripps, when hunting, in the forests of Anajapoora, intimated to him that he was then in the immediate vicinity of the spot to which the elephants come to die,' but that it was so mysteriously concealed that although every one believed in its existence, no one had ever succeeded in penetrating to it. At the corral which I have described at Bornegalle, in 1847, Dehigame, one of the Kandyan chiefs, assured me it was the universal belief of his countrymen that elephants, when about to die, resorted to a valley in Saffragan, among the mountains to the east of Adam's Peak, which was reached by a narrow pass with walls of rock on either side, and that there, by the side of a lake of clear water, they took their last repose. It was not without interest that I afterwards recognised this tradition in the story of ' Sinbad of the Sea,' who, in his seventh voyage, after conveying the presents of Haroun al Raschid to the King of Serendib, is wrecked on his return from Ceylon, and sold as a slave, to a master who employs him in shooting elephants for the sake of their ivory ; till one day the tree on which he was stationed, being uprooted by one of the held, he fell senseless to the ground, and the great elephant approaching, wound his trunk around him, and carried him away, ceasing not to proceed until he had taken him to a place where, his terror having subsided, he found himself amongst the bones of elephants, and he knew that this was their burial place. It is curious to find this legend of Ceylon in what has not inaptly been described as the Arabian Odyssey" of Sind bad,' the original of which evidently embodies the romantic recitals of the sailors returning from the navigation of the Indian seas in the middle ages, which were current amongst the Mussulmans, and are reproduced in various forms throughout the tales of the ' Arabian Nights.' " The description of the various animals is very en tertaining. It is observed that, to a stranger in the tropics, among the most attractive creatures in the forests are the troops of monkeys that career in ceaseless chase among the loftiest trees. We find the subjoined account of the white monkey : " A white monkey, taken between Ambepusse and Ker negalle, where they are said to be numerous, was brought to me to Colombo. Except in colour, it had all the charac teristics of Presbytes cephalopterus. So striking was its whiteness that it might have been conjectured to be an albino, but for the circumstance that its eyes and face wore black. I have heard that white monkeys have been seen near theßicli-galle Wihana in Seven Korles and also at Tangalle ; but I never saw another specimen. The natives say they are not uncommon, and Knox that they are ' milk white both in body and face ; but of this sort there is not such plenty.' The Rev. R. Spence. Hardy mentions, in his learned work on Eastern Monachism ' that on the occa sion of his visit to the great temple of Dambool, he encountered a troop of white monkeys on the rock in which it is situated—which were, doubtless, a variety of the Wanderoo. Pliny was aware of the fact that white monkeys are occasionally found in India. " When observed in their native wilds, a party of 20 or 30 of these creatures is generally busily engaged in the search for berries and buds. They are seldom to be seen on the ground, except when they may have descended to re cover seeds or fruit which have fallen at the foot of their favourite trees. When disturbed, their leaps aro prodigious; but, generally speaking, their progress is made not so much by leaping as by swinging from branch to b ranch, using e fi pow g % a rf g th ula e r m m s s elv al e t s oernbalitgeulyel;y so as an dw t h o e c n at b ch aell th e e d lo b w yd r i b s o ta u n g c h e s , in of an opposite tr t e o e c , a th u n es t being sufficient the ms cause reboundm e momentum t u of acquired n b c y h, their tha tdceas carries them upwards again, till they can grasp a higher and more distant one, and thus continue their headlong flight. In these perilous achievments, wonder is excited less by the agility of these little creatures, frequently encumbered as they are by their young, which cling to them in their career, than by the quickness of their eye and the unerring accuracy with which they seem almost to calculate the angle at which a descent will enable them to cover a given dis tance, and the recoil to attain a higher altitude." There are 320 species of birds in the island. Of these it is said that " In the glory of their plumage the birds of the interior are surpassed by those of South America and Northern India, and the melody of their song bears no comparison with the war blers of Europe; but the want of brilliancy is com pensated by their singular grace of form, and the absence of prolonged and modulated harmony by the rich and melodious tones of their clear and musical calls." We meet with this account of a bird often mentioned in song and story : "Pre eminent in size and beauty are the tall flamingoes, with rose•coloured plumage, that line the beach in long piles. The Singhalese have been led, from their colour and their military order, to designate them the " English Soldier Birds." Nothing can be more startling than the sudden flight on kese splendid creatures when alarmed; their their strong wings beating the air with a sound the distant thunder, and as they soar over beau, va, flock, which appeared almost white but a moment before, is converted into crimson by the sudden dis play of the rel lining of their wings." The follow. ing curious passage relates to MUSICAL SEA SOUNDS. "On the occasion of a visit which I made to Battioaloa, in September, 1848, I made some inquiries relative to a story which had reached me of musics.' sounds, said to be often heard issuing from the bottom of the Jake, at several places, both above and below the ferry opposite the old. Dutch Fort, and which the natives supposed to proceed from some fish peculiar to the locality. The report was confirmed in all its particulars, and one of the spots whence the sounds proceed was pointed out between the pier and a rock that intersects the channel two or three hundred yards to the eastward. They were said to bo heard at night, and most distinctly when the moon was nearest the full, and they were described as resembling the faint sweet notes of an )Eolian harp. I sent for some of the fishermen, who said they were perfectly aware of the fact, and that their fathers had always known of the existence of the musical sounds, heard, they said, at the spot alluded to, but only during the dry season, as they cease when the lake is swollen by the freshes a fter the rain. They believed them to proceed not fiom a fish, but from a shell, which is known by the Tarnil name of (oorie coolecroo cradoo, or) the crying shell,' a name in which the sound seems to have been adopted as an echo to the sense. I sent them in search of the shell, and they returned bringing me some living specimens of different shells, chiefly littorina and cerithitem." Another feature of interest in this remarkable island is thus noticed : " Ceylon has long been renowned for the beauty and variety of the shells whi c h abound in its seas and inland waters." In the chapter on " Insects again we meet with most pleasing information. The description here given is very fascinating— - - " Owing to the favourable combination of heat, moisture, and vegetation, the myriads of insects in Ceylon form one of the characteristic features of the island. In the solitude of the forests there is a perpetual music from their soothing and melodious hum, which frequently swells to a startling sound, as the cicada trills his sonorous drum on the hollow bark of some tall tree. At morning the dew hangs in diamond drops on the threads and gossamer which the spiders sus pend across every pathway; and above the pool, dragon flies of more than metallic lustre flash in the early sun beams. The earth teems with countless ants which emerge from beneath its surface, or make thei r d ev i ous hi g h ways to ascend to their nests in the trees; lustrous beetles with their golden lustre bask in the leaves, whilst minuter species dash through the air in circles which the ear can follow by the booming of their tiny wings. Butterflies of largo size, and gorgeous colouring, flutter over the endless expanse of flowers, and at times the extraordinary sight presents itself of flights of these delicate creatures, generally of a white or pale yellow huo, apparently mil es i n breadth and of such pro digious extension as to occupy hours, and even days in their passage, whence coming no one knows, whither going none can tell. As day declines the moths come from their re treats, the crickets add their shrill voice s t o swe ll th e di n, and en darkness descends the eye is charmed with the millions of emerald lamps lighted up by the fire-flies amidst the surrounding gloom." There are nearly a hundred illustrations in this book, which are executed with a considerable amount of artistic skill, and afford the most desira ble means of obtaining a correct idea regarding the various animals that are mentioned in these pages. It would be difficult to over-estimate the amount of information that is afforded by this admirable work on the "Natural History of Ceylon." In an agree able style and superior manner we are presented with most interesting details, regarding subjects of which no one would willingly remain in ignorance. Hence, there is no doubt but that the reading com munity will concur in agreeing that they are under a vast obligation to the learned author who has thus put before them a work so rich in illustra tive anecdote, and so stored with intellectual re search. The sublimity and beauty of nature in all her various forms and diverse attributes attest the majesty of the Creator in words that are mighty to impress and works that are landmarks for all ages. A volume of this class can never fail to be successful, alike for its intrinsic merit as from its peculiar interest and manifold attractions, and Sir J. Emerson Tennent may be congratulated on having added this welcome supplementary book to the great work which before so contributed to his fame and spread abroad his renown. Beeton's illuminated _Family Bible. Part 111. We have previously noticed this work in terms of approval. The designs are from Julius Snorr and other artists ; the illuminated initials and bor derings by Noel Humphreys. The grace and readi ness of the latter artist must be familiar io all who have seen an illustrated edition of one of the poets ; they have rendered him conspicuous in his particu lar line. The present number is in no way inferior to the two former ones, and, when completed, this will be a very beautiful edition of the Holy Scrip tures. Home Pets. Parts I. to V. Beeton : Strand. This will be a most delightful series for all young people, and is not without its attractions for older folks, if they interest themselves in keeping pets. The parrot tribes, finches, ravens and their kind, and thrushes of all descriptions, aro treated of in these parts. The forthcoming ones are to include pigeons, poultry, water-fowl, rabbits, dogs, gold and silver fish, and even owls, hawks, and their tribes. As is justly observed in the introduction, instructions relative to the proper treatment of domestic pets are generally contained in books whose price confines them to a very small circle ; whereas, as we all know, persons in very humble circumstances are often the possessors of a little companion of the lower species. It is no uncom mon thing to see a blackbird or thrush enlivening the stall of a cobbler, who could certainly not afford five or six shillings for a handsome volume. Threepence is, however, a very different sum, and anyone who can manage to keep a pet can certainly contrive to spare it in order to learn how to keep it properly. Ignorance often leads to cruelty, which the culprit would shrink from if he knew something of the bird or animal's real wants. The series before us undertakes to give simple, sound, and practical information on every subject con nected with the keeping of pets. " Our labour," adds•the editor, " has been lightened by the con sciousness that many a cage, kennel, dovecot, and dormer, will henceforth contain, in the place of a moping, unclean, disease-wasted tenant, a merry creature, happy and joyous in its life, and ever eager to testify to its keeper, in its own best way, the most unbounded satisfaction." We must not omit to mention that every alterate part is adorned with a beautiful coloured plate from paintings by Har rison Weir. Beeton's Book of Garden Management. Parts I. and 11.

It is issued in monthly parts at a very low price, and is likely to be acceptable to all who are fortunate enough to possess a strip of garden, and who are anxious, whether from motives of economy or love of botany, to superintend its cultivation.

REPORTED CHOLERA AT HAYTI.--Reports having been current that cholera had broken out at the port of Hayti, the Secretary of State for Foreign Affairs of the Republic writes to the Consul in London to contradict, on the authority of the medical officer of the port, that there is any foundation for such a rumour, as no case of cholera had occurred up to the 24th of Oct. AMATEUR THEATRICALS.—The members of the Albany Dramatic Club gave their fourth entertainment last evening at the Cabinet Theatre, King's-cross, the pieces represented being " Used Up," and " Hamlet." In the comedy the whole of the characters were performed in a manner that gave great satisfaction to the very numerous audience. In the tragedy Mr. Holl sustained the part of Hamlet with much taste and ability. His delivering of some of the soliloquies was exceedingly good, and taken as a whole, his performance was a highly creditable one. Mr. J. Bishop as the Ghost also very deservedly came in for a full share of the honours of the evening. Miss Angell made a very pretty Ophelia, and Mrs. Malcolm a very effective and stately Queen.
