ORIENTAL ANNUAL. LONDON. 1834. This is a very splendid work, as all Oriental Annuals sh9uld be. Its exterior is so costly, and its embellishments so gorgeous, that Alad din might have admitted hint° the library of his enchanted palace. The designs from which the engravings have been made, are all from the pencil of Daniel, who, we believe, is orthodox authority on all matters appertaining to oriental scenery. There are some splendid views on the banks of the Ganges—whom Mr. Calmer, in his literary illustrations, has treated with be coming reverence, as the great " father of waters,"—and as fine a show of ruins as is to be met with even along the shores of the Rhine. We had no idea that India could boast so many magnificent architectural antiquities. " Raje Gur Ginjee " is a wild, rocky landscape, crowned —at a height of, heaven knows, how many thousand feet—with a stern, battlemented fortress, which vividly recalls our recollection of some of the most imposing feudal castles of the Rhine• Portrait of her Majesty the " Queen of Candy,' is a half-length of a very pretty, graceful, and we are quite sure also, an amiable young lady. The lips, to be sure, are a little thickish, nor can the nose be commended for any miraculous delicacy of proportion ; but the eyes have a frank, winning expression s the brow is finely, even intellectually, developed, and the expression of the whole countenance is that of simplicity, archness, and exuberant joyousness of spirit. Despite the somewhat too visible mahogany of her com plexion, we will wager odds that her Majesty of Candy is prettier than any Queen in Christen dom. " The Alligator and the Dead Ele phant," though the design is effective, possesses no great merit as an engraving. It is harshly and stiffly handled. The trees want flexibility, and the lights are injudiciously disposed. The alligator, with sparkling eye and wide-extended jaws, is just preparing for a handsome meal on the gigantic carcase before him, and exhibits just that sort of gloating avidity which we have witnessed in the countenance of an Alderman, when placed opposite a tureen of savoury cali pash. " Hindoo Temple" is one of the most imposing structures, whether as regards gran deur of design, harmony of proportion, or general chasteness of effect, we ever beheld, Were our young architects, instead of restrict ing their attention exclusively to European spe cimens of art, to extend their travels to the East, they might enrich and amplify their ge nius, without running the slightest hazard of impairing their judgment. There is enough of invention and originality in this Hindoo Temple to set up a whole fraternity of architects. Yet how strange to see close beside such a proud monument of genius, a specimen of the grossest mental imbecility ! A golden cow guards the portals of an edifice which might put to shame half the religious struc tures of Europe ! And possibly the mind that conceived and executed the one, bowed down its lofty faculties in the blindest adoration of the other ! " The Cataract at Puppanassum" conveys a vivid idea of the prodigious power of water. The flood appa?ently of a whole ocean is thrown headlong from a terrific height into an enormous caldron below, bearing down, just as if they were mere straws, crags, rocks, and masses of earth, large enough almost to make a flower garden for a Che a psid e l over o f the rural.' " The Talipat Tree" is a slender, graceful, ve getable beauty, such as Darwin, had he seen it, would assuredly have made the heroine of his " Loves of the Plants." It looks as if aught stronger than a West wind would blow it to earth, and bows its delicate head, as if listening in a spirit of coquettish self comp latency, to the soft-nothings which a jolly, thick -set, smartly• dressed shrub is (or ought to be) whispering in its ear. The " Talipat " grows in Ceylon. We should rather expect to read of it in an Enchanted Island, nurtured by a Miranda, sung to by an Ariel, and lulled to sleep by the flattering songs of a nightingale, brought to it express by a Zephyr. We wonder we do not meet with it in Theccritus, or in CElian's magic sketch of the Vale of Tempe. Possibly the 2.3:; liii);;piclu,a. of which the pastoral poet speaks, was the sighing, not of the pine but the Talipat. " This beautiful tree," says Mr. Caunter, " certainly among the most graceful productions of the vegetable kingdom, blossoms only once during its existence, then dies, and in dying, like the fabled phoenix, sheds the seeds of a future generation around it." Better this, than to die, like an Aspasia or a Sappho, " and leave the world no copy." The literary portion of the " Oriental Annual" is admirable. It abounds in marvels, such as blood-thirsty fakirs, half men, half monsters ; camels, which, when pressed by hunger, think no thing of eating up their own hump, being perfectly well aware that it will grow again, the instant they can get a supply of food ; Delhi cowherds who run on all fours, and use their arms as forelegs, " the fingers resembling toes, and the hands being without thumbs;" anti jugglers, who put to shame the legerdemain tricks of half the most expert diplomatic conjurors of Europe. Then, too, we have lavish details of lovely young Gentoo, Cingalese and Delhi bru nettes, graceful as antelopes, sprightly as fauns, and symmetrical as Talipat trees, who might thaw the frozen bosom of an anchorite, and tempt old Simeon Stylites from his pillar. The scenic descriptions are gorgeous and exuberant, as the subject deserves. e have old Ganges in all his glory ; ancient Delhi,. as it liv es , an d w i ll imagination,—and, for ever, in our iagmation,—and, though no travellers, we can vouch for its accuracy, for we have seen it in our dreams a thousand times,—rocks, mountains, cataracts ; the wind swept waste where the Sirocco lives and kills ; the shy, silent, black glen ; the forest, whose depths human foot has never trod ; the jungle, where the tiger crouches and the snake lies couchant;—in a word, all the sublime, all the grotesque, all the lovely, all the magnificent asso ciations that link our fancy to the East, we here find, as with an enchanter's wand, again brought vividly before us. We pay it no extravagant compliment, when we say that the " Oriental Annual" is worthy of a place on the same shelf with the " Tales of the Genii" and the " Ara bian Nights' Entertainments." As an appro priate extract, we quote the following bit of necromancy. The conjuror who executed it should instantly be hired by the French and English Cabinets, no matter at what cost, to reconcile the differences between Holland and Belgium. Europe would also feel incalculably obliged to him if he would just transform the Emperor Nicholas into a Russian bear —no very extraordinary transformation, by-the-bye, especially to a man who can kill a child and then conjure it to life again—and turn out his brutified Majesty, like Nebuchadnezzar of old, on the plains of Poland for a hunt : "JUGGLERY. "The next thing to which I alluded as intending to re cord was an instance of visual illusion, as far as my expe rience and even my belief goes, unprecedented in the annals of jugglery. After the exhibition of the eggs, as just desctibA, a stout ferocious-looking fellow stepped forward, with a common wicker basket of the country, which he begged we would carefully examine. This we accordingly did ; it was of the slightest texture, and admitted the light through a thousand apertures. Under this fragile covering lie placed a child about eight years old, an in teresting little girl, habited in the only garb which nature provided for her, perfect of frame and elastic of limb ; a model for a ch. rub, and scarcely darker than a child of snot , ern France. When she was properly secured, the man, with a lowering aspect, asked her some question, which she instantly answered ; and as the thing was done within a few feet from the spot on which we were seated, the voice appeared to come so direwlysts from the basket, that I felt at Once satisfied there was no de ception. They held a conversation for some moments, when the juggler, almost with a scream of threatened to kill her. There was a stern reality is the whole scene which was perfectly dismaying ; it was acted to the lile, but terrible to see and hear. The child was heard to beg for mercy, when the man seised a sword, placed his foot upon the frail wicker covering under which his supposed victim was so piteously supplicating his forbearance, and to my absolute consternation an horror plunged it through, withdrawing it several times, and repeating the plunge with all the blind terocity of an excited demon. By this time his countenance c xhibited an expression fearfully indicative of the roost frantic of human passions. The shrieks of the child were so real and distracting that they almost curdled for a few mo ments the whole mass of any blood. My first impu se was to rush upon the monster and fell him to the earth, but he was armed and I defenceless. I looked at my companions ; they appeared to be pile and paralyzed with terror; and yet these feelings were somewhat neutralized by the con sciousness that t he man could not dare to commit a deliberate inurner in the broad ye of day, and before so many wit uesses ; still the whole thing was appalling. The blood ran iii streams from the basket; the child was heard to scruple under it; her groans fell horridly upon the ear ; her struggles smote painfully upon the heart. The former were gradually suodued into a faint moan, and the latter into a slight rustling sound. We seemed to hear the last convulsive gasp which was to set her innocent soul free front the gored body, when, to our inexpressible astonish. ment and relief, after muttering a few cabalistic words the juggler took up the basket, but no child was to be seen. The spot was indeed died with blood, but there wet e no mortal remains, and after a few moments of undissernbled wonder we perceived the little object of our alarm corning towards us from among the crowd. She advanced and saluted us, holding out her hand for our donations, which we bestowed with hearty good-will. She received them with a most graceful salaam, and the party left us, well satisfied with eur more than expected gratuity. What rendered the deception the more extraordinary was, that the man stood aloof from the crowd during the whole per formance; there was not a person within several feet of him." THE JUVENILE FORGET ME NOT. Mrs. S. C. Hall, the editor of the " Juvenile Forget Me Not," has had the good fortune, in the volume before us, to produce one of the most in teresting numbers which has appeared from the commencement of the work. The dome-good intention of the different tales, is in most of them judiciously kept out of sight, and they will, we doubt not, prove as interesting to the adult as they will be delightful and instructive to those for whose benefit they were more espe cially written. The " English Farm-yard," the " New-year's Gifts," the " Game of the Tra veller," and the Indian anecdote of " Jocko," have especially pleased us. The " Game of th e Traveller," being a novelty in England, well worthy of being known to all young folk, we must steal the " Forget Me Not's" account of it : " think I can accommodate you,' said an agreeable young man from Germany, on a visit at Dacre Hall. who spoke English like a native, and was, from his uniffected simplicity of character, a great favourite with young and old. 'We have a game we are very fond of, tilled 'the Traveller,' something like the one your father mentioned, only that every one must fix on something different th e drollest and most out of the way he can think of—and try to put the poor tr a v e ll er ou t by b r i n ging it in—the more trial apropos the better—while he is telling the story of his journey; and he, on pain of a forfeit, must not seem in the least put out, hut account quite naturally for the strange thing being there, and expliin how it came to be so, were it ever so unaccountable. You can't think what ingenuity this sometimes requires, and how droll it sounds to hear the odd things which practised players make the poor traveller find in the most unlikely places.' " Oh, it must be capital ! ' cried all the delighted young people, ' for those who can do it, that is to say ; but we shall never be able to manage anything so difficult.' " ' Why, the part of the traveller does require a little practice and presence of mind at first,' said the good. humoured German, so I'll take that on myself this time. All . you hav e to d o i s eac h to f i x on some separate art i c l e —ll absurd, so much the more puzz ing for me; and when at any part of my story I look at a particular person. and say, e i i t hntahte thing meet h with gh ? ; o t f h . is If f e r h s e o n ib r in g e u t s furnish m: ora does not immediat e ly p ro d uce i t , h e pays a f or f e i t ; i f I cannot Rive a plausible reason (good or bad, of course) for its being there, I must pay one instead ; but you'll learn best tiy example. I ant going to be very ger-rous against my self, and put it in your power to annoy me d-übly, by letting you, before hand, into my proposed line of journey. I mean to be travelling ftom Paris to Rome, across the Simplon, because it is a beaten route, and most of you know pretty well what ought or ought not to be met will, on it.' " Oh, yes, we begin to understand,' slid some of the elder boys and girls ; ' .% e'll puzzl , . you finely, if you will give us time to think a little. You'll play, papa, won't you 2 1 " ' I'd rather sit by and get a lesson,' said Mr. Dacre, smiling, ' that I may be able to take the plice of my good friend Albert, when he is really gone on his travels. In the mean time, yuu had better be leaving Paris—it grows late.' " ' Well,' said young Albert, gravely, ' suppose me getting into the diligence to leave 'hat far-famed city, two hours before daybreak on a fine summer mornin , ., at the door of the office called Bureau des Pastes. I could just discern by a dim lamp that the coach was already pretty well filled, and squeezed myself the best way I could into the remaining seat. But when daylight Megan to come in, who do you think, Jane,'—here he looked suddenly at the totally unprepared youngest little girl in the company, —' I saw had been for some time past my fellow-pas senger ?' '• 'All the players started, taken quite by surprise by this very early appeal; and as its poor little victim had really forgotten what it was that Mr. Deere had advised her to tix on, the good humoured traveller, saying, I may as well make you pay forfeit now, that others may take warn ing,' gave the hall-frighted child a ki,s, and turned to a tall boy on the opposite side of the circle, with, Well, Fred, what did 1 find squatted beside me?' " An ourang outang !' said Fred delightedly ; nice company, was it not ?' ".' NVhy I don't know,' answered the traveller, without moving a muscle; ' most of the party clamoured violently as daylight came i n, and they found they had been hoaxed to travel with a monkey. But, as he behaved with more sense, and looked more like a human creature, than half the dandies in Paris, and was moreover amazingly amusing, we all rejoiced in having an opportunity of witues , ing his singular docility and gentleness. His keeper, who sat op po-ite, was brother to our coachy, and as Monsieur Jock°. (the greatest pet in all the French Zoological Gardens, called ' Jardin des Plantes') was poorly, and req tired country air, he thouvht he migl,t smuggle him in, in the dark, as far as the first stage, where he stopped at one of the King's hunting-lodges, in the town of )3---. I assure you we were all sorry when he left the co tch with his hat under his arm, bowing to every ene round, like a perfect gentleman.' " You've got pretty well out of that scrape,' muttered Fred, the author of the ourang outang device; ' but you must not humbug us often with monkeys in coaches, else we shall think you are coming the traveller over us in earnest.' " And so I ant,' answered Albert, smiling, only you shall own that stories as strange are often met with hi real books of travels. J3ut as coaches, after all, are not good places for adventures, I met with but one more—that had like to have been a very fatal one. We were bowling away, helter skelter, in the usuril reckless style of French driving, down the steep declivity of Mount Jura, towards Switzer land, late one fogey evening, when the coach suddenly encountered some unexpected obstacle, and was overturned with a dreadful jolt. Pray what was the cause of our misfortune, Miss Louisa, you who have really travelled that road yourself?' " A billiard-!able,' replied the malicious young lady addressed, who flattered herself she had indeed upset the luckless traveller. " ' Just a billiard-table,' quietly repeated the nowise disconcerted Alb , rt, ' however strange it may seem till I explain the circums'anc.s. The journey lam describing was performed shortly after the occupation of Geneva ; and a French regiment, returning across the Jura to defend it-, native soil, had thrown off from an overloaded waggon the least import•int ( though to French officers not the least interesting) part of their camp turniture—their travelling billiard table, the sr dualde ereen plain of which had been hastily wrenched off, and the clumsy old legs left, with true military recklessness, so near the edge of the road as to enable our di iver to run foul of them in the dark. We were not the first by many who have owed their misfor tune to a billiard-table, and it w,.uld be well for all its vo- luntary victims if they got off P+e well as we " And so well,' cried the party, half amused, half provoked, at the coolness with which Albert converted into possibilities at least, the most unlikely occurrences. " I need not,' resumed the traveller, ' tell you, who have all read da scriptions, and seen prints of tie beautiful scenery of Switz er land, how completely the morning view of Mont Blanc, from the summit of the Jura, made up for our nigh , 's misadventure. We were lost in delighted admiration for several minutes, on first perceiving, embo gamed in its l ove l y , g irden-like shores, the clear, unru-- fled lake o f G eneva . B ut t hi s soon gave p l ace to as•onisb ment on distin vo ishi ng , light in the very middle of it— what, Willia m ?—tnethinks I have caught you napping.' " A hay-cock.' answered hesitatingly the boy thus roused, who, duller than the 'est, and e-nseqmintly less interested in tb- game. had fallen half asleep over a book of 'oral views—the one of which be happened to see on first opening his eye-, was a scene of hay-making. " 'You're done now, Mr. Traveller,' cried many a laughin g voice, ' thanks to Bill's luck. Haymaking in 'he water will puzzle even you!' " 'lt has indeed bale d wiser heads than mine,' con tinued the German with his usual composure, explain satisfactorily the phenomenon which in the singularly clear tran-parent atmosphere of Switz , rland is sometime, though very rarely, discernible. Just opposite to Geneva rises a green sugar-loaf shaped mountain called the ‘11 , 161e,' which, though some miles removed from the margin of the lake, is nevertheless at times, by a peculiar combina tion of lights, distinctly reflected in its magic mirror. And on this mountain it happens that a style of hay making quite peculiar to itself is carried on. Once every year the whole young people of the neighbouring district assemble for a frolic on its summit, and after cutting down and drying its rich, sweet, fragrant, grass, pile it into enormous heaps (more like young hills than hay cocks) and hurl them, with all the laughter and merri ment you may Auppo , e, right down the face of the moun tain to the bottom. Now as I was lucky enough to see the 11161 e plainly reflected in the like below, nay to per ceive occasional irregularities in its sharp outline, occa sioned, doubtless, by, liege mountains of hay (which I afterwards heard the merry Savoyards were at the very time employed in throwing over), I may, without more exaggeration than is the traveller's privilege, he allowed to say, I beheld hay-cocks in the middle of the lake of Geneva !" Several of the engravings are pretty and good ; and we must say that they may not be judged of by the frontispiece, certainly as ugly a thing as could have been selected. LITERATURE. TRANSLATIONS of the OXFORD and CAM.. BRID GE LATIN PRIZE POEMS. This is called the second series of poems under the above title, but the first series con sisted entirely of Oxford prize poems. The translator, Mr. Nicholas L. Torre, as an Oxo nian, with natural partiality, first gave to the public the productions of his own fellow colle gians; but it would appear that he has been obliged to fill up his second series with poems from the rival university. This will not be matter of regret with the public, for the wider range he has now taken must give him a better chance of making a pleasing selection. The present volume contains seven prize poems from each university, some of them by names now high in the world, as those of statesmen and poets. It is easy to perceive that the Latin poems have lost nothing by being ren dered into Mr. Torte's English, but it must not be concealed that disappointment will often befal the reader who, dazzled by a name, forgets that its owner was hardly a man when he earned the honours here recorded. Never theless, to those curious in watching the changing phases of a great mind, this volume will not be without great interest. The Earl of Ripon, Lord Colchester, Milman, Words worth, Mr. Stanley, the Secretary for the Colo nies, and others with names not unknown to fame, may here see how they once wrote, how they once thought, how they viewed life before the realities of the world came to disturb their waking dreams of poetic perfection. g I , lp l e nr comparingsigh—may, ni a k e perhaps, the the w these w p h r ei poems i e w t , n i may, l s a r s ise i past tt e e Ir t vs h i t o ho u fg: the make the world smile ; but the sympathy with which ad mankind regard ll reco ections of early life, will deprive the sigh of bitterness, the smile of malice. The grandfather of the shrewd and astute Prince Talleyrand was a sort of courier de Cabinet, in cessantly employed in carrying despatches between the Courts of France and the Escurial, during the period that his intriguing patron,ss the Princiss de Ursins ruled the feeble Philip V. and Spain.—Fraser's Magazine. Letters from Holland dated Tuesday were re ceived yesterday evening. The packet with the papers and letters o f W ednesday bad not then arrived.

FALMOUTH We copy the following from a morning centem. porary :—" We have just received the following in telligence from our Correspondent, dated Falmouth, Oct. 16 :—' His Majesty's packer Reindeer has ar rived here to-day from Carthagena, whence she sailed on the 26th Augu-t, and from Jamaica on the 3d ult. At the packet's departure from the former place, a conspiracy was discovered to exist in the city—it was composed of a party denominated Liberals; their intentions were to secure the bar racks and prison, after which to massacre the re spectable citizens, and a great number of the white inhabitants. The principals, who are men of colour, are now in custody. " Intelligence has reached Carthagena from Bo gota to the 23d July, announcing that a conspiracy was also discovered there; the plant were well ma tured, and to be directed against the Government; a General Larda was to have headed the conspi rators, and was to have been supported by a party of dragoons. The arrest of the Authorities, and effecting a complete change in the Administration, was to have been their object. General Larda had been arrested—the Government was, notwithstand ing, unpopular. Jamaica was very tranquil when the Reindeer left. Lord Mulgrave had further postponed the meeting of the House of Assembly: " TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Buonarroti, Marquis of Caoossa, the last male offspring of the family of Michael Angelo, aged 74, afflicted with an organic disease, almost deprived of the use of his eyes, was arrested in Paris on the 7th day of Octolier, 1833, in his dwelling, by the police of Louis Philip. This act of tyranny was perpetrated chiefly to propitiate the fivour of the northern despots, pirticularly of Austria. Huonarrnti is one of the most remarkable ch tracters who acted a prominent part in thegreat political struggle which has been raging on the continent since the year 1789 When the French revolution called that old ciintinent, which was groaning under the yoke of arbitrary power, to take a share in its political and social rev,. ner ition, Buonarroti was enjoying all the advantages which wealto, rank, talents, and the favour of a powerful Prince c mid Insure to his aspiring youth; nevertheless he gave up all those advantages to dedicate himself entirely to the cau.e of liberty. To thi. noble cruse he has ever since devoted all the energies of his highly gifted mind. Indeed, there is not one among his contemporaries who, like him, under all circumstances, in such critical ,nd eventful times, among yn many changes and political lac dons, has preserved, from the beginning to the end, such firmness, conmt incy, and never-compromising aithlulness to his once-adopted principlrs. Neither the Girinine, n-r the directorship. nor the mi_ lit.ry despotism of Napoleon, nor the H .ly Allimee, nor the restoration, nor the quasi legitimacy of Louis Philip, deterred Buonarroti from advocating that Ih.tero of government which he thinks the only one consistent with reason, and the only one beneficial to the happiness of mankind. Buonarroti was first a deputy to the National Conven tint.), then commissioner of the French in Cor.ica, and finally general agent of the republic in all conquered countries. In all it is public offices he acted with such a disinterest edness as to deserve, for this virtue only, a conspicuous place in history. He despised acquiring rielies, and expended even tl,e greatest part of his appointments in relieving those of his own party who were in need. Since the downfall of Robespierre his life had been a continual struggle: now in prison under sentence of death—now condemned to transportation—now wander ing as an exile from country to country ; constantly re fusing pecuniary assistance, and supporting himself by teaching music. And yet, under such circumstances, Buonarroti's genius found means to become terrible to the several despots, who, within the last 40 years, have, by turns, misruled the continent. At the age of 70, when living in Bros. sell, he published a work which the Quarterly Review has acknowl, dgeti to be not only the most curious, but also the most important which has appeared concerning the French Revolution, a book trustworthy in all its statements, by which he has rendered a great service to society. The reviewer, though a Tory, could not help doing justice to the writer, whom he considers as an ac complished perso❑ and a man of great The work hears the title—Conspiration pour l'Egalit6, (lute de Babeuf, 2 vols., Bvo., the analysis of which is given in No. 89, April, 18;31, of the Quarterly Review. Bunnarroti, who after the revolution of July had re turned to Paris, is now lingering in a prison, from which, aft-r a few months of confinement, he will be arraigned before the Royal Court, which perhaps will doom his venerable head to fall under the guillotine. He is aged, half blind, destitute of pecuniary resources; his friends are dead, or exiled ; the few that are near him are trembling for their own safety, and do not even dare to acknowledge his acquaintance. Under these circumstances, I think it my duty to come forward boldly, and toshow bow I appreciate his character. It is but a few months since he wrote to me the following lines :—" I am gradually approaching to my end, afflicted with some disease or other tormenting my decaying age; yet the tortures of my bodily sufferings are not able to dimi nish the energy of my mode of thinking, nor to alter the sweet harmony of our friendship." Yes, I am his friend, and as such I address myself through your organ to the English public. Buonarroti wants pecuniary relief, and a trustworthy counsel. Being acquainted with the laws that will he used as weapons far his destruction, knowing by practice the means of rendering them less formidable, being moreover his most intimate friend, one who is acquainted with all circumstances which can justify or mitigate the facts of which he is accused, since the French criminal law allows a defender to choose his friends as counsel, I will, and must undertake his defence. But in order to carry on his defence through all the stages of legal proceedings, means are wanted which neither I nor Buonarroti do possess ; and it is on this ac count that I solicit the generosity of the English of all parties, sure that even those who do not approve of Buonarroti's principles will not refuse an homage due to his noble character. As soon as the end of my request is obtained, I will stirs for the ' , tench capital, from whence I shall communicate the results of my endeavours through the public press. I beg those who wish to assist me in this act of hu• manity to forward their contributions to the editor, or to direct them to 6, the Croft, Hastings. J. DE PRATI, LL.D, late Advocate, &cc. DEATH OF SIR CHARLES COLVILE.- We regret to hear that intelligence was on Tuesrliy night received at Duffield Hall of the death of Sir Charles Henry Ivile at Strasburg. A solemn knell was toll e d at the church, and a mournful gloom was cast upon the whole village.—Derbyshire Courier. It is determined to make a railroad from Niinehead to Exeter, through Danster, Timberscombe, Curcomb,, Dulverton, Bainpton, and Tiverton. Coal will then be delivered at these places at half the preset . ) , price. The line of road has been carefully examined, and minute inquiries made. When finished, iron and coal will be delivered from Carcdff and Newport to Exeter, at a much less expense than by going round the L.lnd'. End, and on the average in one quarter of the time.— Sherborne Mercury. THE NEW STREET AND THE MERCERS' CostrAtssr..—Tue Duchy of Lancaster have failed in then neutiation with the Mercers' Company. G.vernment undertook to build the new street from the S,and to the British Museum provided the enzipany wound give up the line of road. This they have refused unless a sent& is paid. In consequence the new street will extend only to York-street.—Morning Paper. [lf this be true it is indeed a mercenary company.] COURTSHIP OF A HEIRESS.—The new Novel of" Ttie Heirfes"bids fair to lifetime one of the nisi i npular of the season. Toe business of the Drama (to speak thea•rically) is always kept alive by the alternate importunities of the heroine's four :over's, whos e coo tship furnishes a series for unusually lively scents, which will not allow the attention of the reader to fig for a moment. fhe first of these ambitious gentlemen is cousin to the heiress; he is all fire and impatience, aiming to win her by threats and impetuosity; then comes Mr. Percy Dormer with his stately confidence, opposed by the wily, fashionable, and exquisite Mr. de Roos, whose chie ohject of admiration, however, is himself; and finaily appears like a modern Cymon, the gaunt, awkward, bastif .1 Mr. Elliot, whose outward defects, as in the instance of hie prototype in Boccacio, are turned into grace under the powerful inspiration of lore. 4F 17. • 4{--, -re i . ; 401 O'CONNELL—REPEAL, e i ; ''',d. l - 1 %1"/ • 101 V (From the Dublin Morning Register of W_.. , We said we had personal reason to kn. e ' ">"' Mr. O'Connell, whose alleged "silence" on ;.: 7 4 -- DV is construed by some of the London editors int. abjuration of his doctrines en that question, "i s most busily employed in preparing to open a regular campaign upon it, in the ensuing session of Parlia ment."
