LITERARY NOTICES.

CHAMBERS'S JOURNAL W. and R. Chambers, Edin.
burgh and London.—Press of matter has prevented our
earlier notice of the last monthly pert of this excellent
periodical. The first article, entitled "Earning Pro-
motion," is an exciting tale, the scene of which is laid
in Texas, and will be read with great interest by all who
take an interest in deeds of daring, " Why I ain not
a marrying man," is a tale of bachelor life ; and the
" Lapidaries of the Ural" is en intereoting account of •
race of "eople, chiefly Russian serfe, living on the con-
fines of Europe and Asia, who obtain • livelihood in
cutting precious stones. " How I got it stamped at
lost," puts us forcibly in mind of a day's adventure we
ouiselves had in Somerset 110t188 wine eighteen or
twenty years ago. Other interesting chapters, which
we can cordially recommend an worthy a perusal, are—
The Police," " The First Bonaparte end the Jew',"
The Story of the Eddystone," "Indian Society,"
"Servitude," " A Duel on the Tight-rope," " Vitality
versus Disease." " Sailing the Eyrie," '' The Australian
Exploring Expedition," "The It:cod-hound's Revenge,"
and one or two others. We had marked portions of
some of the tales for reproduction, but space forbids
our giving them in our present number. Those of our
readers who are halting in their opinions as to what
periodical they shell introduce to their families, we
would recommend Ckansbers's Journal, as it is without
controversy one of the beat of our cheap serial publi-
cations.

IRS BOOK OF DAYS, Part Jr. : 'W. and R. Chambers,
L indon and E liaburelt.—ln noticing the first }Art of
this new publication, wo stated that it promised to be
one of the most interesting ever sent out by this enter-
prising firm ; and the second part, which we have
perused with • vest amount of pleasure, confirms U 8 in
the opinion we first entertained af it. As "a miscel-
lany of populir antiquities, anecdotes, history, curiosi-
ties of literature, cud oddities of human life, it will
becomes standard book of reference. It is an agreeable
fireside companion, and when completed will be an
admirable book to place on the drawing-room table.
The work only requires to be known to find its way
into every household.
MODERN METER, a medium for the poets of the day,
I. a new candidate for the support of the discerning
public. The fourth part, which is now before us, con-
sins some pieces well worthy a place among the pro-
ductions of the best poets of our day. The idea of a
magazine made up wholly of lioetry is certainly a
novelty, and we desire for the promoters the SUCCESS
their efforts so well deserve.

Bidford, about 8 miles distant. Here luckily • woman
recognised the child, and noting his reluctance to go
with his companion went towards them and asked the
men what he wanted with the child. He said he wee
going with him, but the child began to cry, and the
fellow, seeing several people about and the woman's
increasing suspicions, loosened the child an 1 ran away
as fast ho could go. The boy was subsequently lake
home to Everhaw by a friend.—Wareeskrahire Chronicle.
EXTRAORDINARY STORY.—The Cornish Tose, •11-
flounces the death of a very remarkable woman at Lie'
hoard. This women was born in 1814, and when about
sixteen years of age the first icopeerenee of an extraor-
dinary disorder developed itself. "She was taken fist
with a weakness in her legs, The next phase of the
disorder made it appearance about the lips, which
became parched; a bitt.ik thick coaling forming on them
which at intervals would peel off in scales, and after a
few years this coating extendel over and et itt:cletely
covered her face. For more then twenty-eight years
she made use of no animal food, and the only suste-
nance she partook of was a little fluid, or • currant
biscuit, which would last her a foil; sight; and from
Christmas 1860 to November IF6I ale wits never known
to take anything whatever. On two or three occasions
since then elm was persuaded to take a little tea or
eJffee, but it was lice, edia e'y ejected from the stomach.
A short time before her death, a portion of the coating
came off her lips, and shortly after her death the whole
mass fell off, the coating f wiiiing a complet• cast of the
countenance. It weighed about half a pound, and aver-
aged about half an inch in thickness. Iler face was
without a blemish, and prerente I a most perfecteppear-
ance, but tier body was reduced to • skeleton. She re-
tained her facult,es to the last, was perfectly contented,
but had no craving for food.

A FISH A WI no IN A COURT OF JFATICE.—This
rather startling incident actually occurred at the
Stafford Assizes, on Tuesday, in the cause " Timmins
v. The Birmingham and Staffordshire Gas Company,"
in which the plaintiff sued the gas company for damages
caused by them in allowing the " tank gas water," from
their gasometer to flow in the plaintiff's well. Dr:
Letheby, the analytical chemist, and officer of health
of the City of London, being snag( das one of the
re:entitle witnesses on the part of the gas company, he
thought to prove that gas water could not have entered
plaintiff's well because lie found aniinalcu're in the
water. Mr. W. lf Williams and Mr. Bird, the
chemical witnesses for the plaintiff, suspecting that the
learned doctor would advance the theory that animal
life cannot exist in- water" tainted with gas, determined
to give it a flat contradiction by producing in court •
live fish swimming in a mixture of half all ounce of the
gal tank water with 25 ounces of pure water, having
about the smell and taste of the water in plaintiff's
well. Accordingly a fine healthy gudgeon was caught
in the river at Stafford, put into • bamin, the basin
filled with the above mixture, and slipped under • seat
in court, ready for the doctor should he advance his
theory, which, upon hia examination, ho Boon did,
asserting most positively that the least taint of gas in
water would destroy animal life, when, to his evident
aro-prise, and amidst a general roar of laughter, in
which the learned judge heartily joined, the basin
with the fish swimming ill it was lifted up and placed
on the centre of the table, full in view of both judge
and jury, and ',roving by his healthy movements that,
though the water was not agreeable, animal life WS.%
still possible in it. When the trial wss over (which was
in favour of the plaintiff), the &dr WAS taken back to
the river, and returned to his '' native element,"
tone the woise for Meshed visit as &witness to Stbfford
&mimes.

RUNNING ONE THOUSAND MILES POE FREEDOM.—
. On Tuesday evening, in the lecture-hall, Three Mills-
lane, Bromley, Mr. William Craft delivered his in-
trresting and poptiar lietuie on ' American Slat sty,"
introducing the principal incidenjs in his own remark-
able escape, with his wife, froed slavery in Georgia.
Joseph A Burner, Esq., F.R.S.L.' occupied the chair.
Mr. Craft was repeatedly applauded throughout the
whole of his exciting oration, which, though it took up
nearly two hours and a half, did not seem in the least to
tire his audience. The lecture was illustrated by some
admirable dissolving views, and was altovether eminently
successful. Votes of thanks to the chairman and to Mr.
Craft were unanimously passed, and a very respectable
subscriptien raised for • poor fugitive from slavery
named John Smith, who was present at the meeting.
The new rock oil is attracting the attention of fi.e
and insurance companies—at all events the storing of
up in large quantities in the London warehouses is
doing so. A. deputation from these companies waited
upon the Lord Mayor on Friday, and directed his notice
to the fact, but his Lordship pleaded a want of jurisdic-
tion, and said he thought it was • CABO which called for
the interference of the Legislature. There can be no
doubt that the storing up of these oils is • new and
terrible element of danger in case office. Rock oils are
as explosive as gunpowder, and should be stored up
under similar regulations.
SMUGGLING IN RUSSIA.—A couibat with smugglers
took place lately on the Russian frontier. Twenty-
two sledges laden with packages of merchandise, for
the most part silk goods, and estimated in value at
15,000 thalers, passed near the village of Augsgirrcn,
on the Prussian frontier, near Russia. Each sledge
contained three smugglers. They had three lines of
Russian posts to pass, the guards of which were 140 in
number. Seemly had the smugglers crossed the
frontier when they were attacked on all sides, and
all possibility of return was cut off. They were there•
fore compelled to dash forward. At the first and
second post they lost seven ale lges with fourteen horses,
and the merchandise carried. At the lost post the
combat was more severe, two soldiers bring killed and
nine wounded. At length. the smugglers got off with s
nuiwher of packages, and carried off their wounded.
They had several killed.

Fortunately by the present law, none tint the real
Physician or Surgeon dare attach M.D. or hLR.C.S. to

penalties andAmprisonmeut would be incurred. The

not medical men at all, but impudently style then-
pelves " Dr." " Professor," M.R.A.S.. F.R.A S., ILL.,

character. None of these men really know more of
the deseases they profess to treat, than any persou
may, by reading the above work.
From long practical observation in the most famous
Institutions of this country and the continent.. the
Author has had somewhat unusual facilities for
acquiring that uniform success, which lifts, hitherto
characterized his practice, and he refers with pride to
