THE ILLUSTRATED BOY'S OWN TREASURY; form-
ing a Complete Repertory of Home Amuse-
ments and Healthful Recreations. Embellished
with 500 Descriptive Engravings. Loudon :
" Ward and Lock, 158, Fleet-street.
This is well-named a " Treasury," for we do
not know any work of the kind so replete with
sterling knowledge and education for the young,
or which would form so appropriate a present for
thoughtful lads. Such a gift would be the
crowning delight of their Midsummer holidays.
It is in fact five or six books in one,—the first
department being devoted to a familiar explana-
tion of at least the rudiments of science ; the
second and third seek to refine the mind through
the medium of the eye, and give detailed
instructions as to drawing and painting. The
fourth treats of some of the principal constructive
wonders of the world; the fifth of rural affairs ;
and the sixth is devoted to a sketch of the habits
of the wild and domesticated animals. Much
space is also devoted to out-door sports and in-
door pastimes; and, amongst the scientific recre-
ations will be found an infinite variety of practical
puzzles, chemical and mechanical. The illustra-
tions are really beautiful, and they are so
numerous as to appear on almost every alternate
leaf. Boys should let their parents have no rest
till they have bought them a copy of the
" Treasury."

HEALTH RESORTS OF RRITAIN and How to Pro-
fit by Them. By Spencer Thompson, M.D.,
L. R. C. S. E. With numerous illustrations.
London : Ward and Lock, 158, Fleet-street.
We took up this volume with a vague fear or
misgiving that its object might be to puff up the
virtues of some particular spa ; but we must can-
didly confess that in this we did the author grievous
injustice,:and that on opening it we were agreeably
mistaken. It is a work, indeed, of a much more
ambitious character, and one calculated, as a guide,
to be of the highest service to tourists and invalids.
The author, in the preface, says :—" Some-
what strange is it that, with railroads and steam-
boats crowded all summer long, with roads thronged
by tourists, and with winter residences sought by
invalids without number, there is yet no popular
work upon the subject of health resorts generally,
to which reference can be made. Local guide-
books there are in abundance, and purely profes-
sional works, such as the standard ' by
Sir James Clarke, and the less technically-written
volumes of Dr. Edwin Lees ; but we are not aware
of any book which those intending to be on the
move, either for health or pleasure, can take up
and say, Let us see where we shall go.' The
following little work is intended, in some degree,
to supply this want ;"—and this, we may add, it
does admirably. Every place of sanatory note
throughout England and Scotland receives critical
attention,---the advantages presented by each to
the health-seeker or invalid are candidly com-
pared; and throughout the work many valuable
hints and cautions, such as might be expected
from a well-informed medical adviser, are given.
We look upon the cautions in respect to the too
indiscriminate use of sea bathing as especially
valuable. A work of this character could not be
issued at a more appropriate season, and we do
not doubt that it will enjoy an extensive sale. i

LIFE IN THE SEA ; or, the Nature and Habits of
Marine Animals. Written and Compiled by
Lascelles Wraxall. London : Houilston and
Wright, 65, Paternoster-row,

The wonders of the deep will never be ex-
hausted, and the writings of Gosse and others have
opened up to ug a new and delightful world of
inquiry in the study of the natural history of the
submarine kingdom. Every object of interest
receives attention in this careful compilation by
Mr. Wraxall, of the wonders of old Ocean ; the
scheme of the work, including a comprehensive
review of the more remarkable species of marine
plants, as well as extended notices of the almost
countless yaxioty of fishes and other forms of
animal life which people the deep. Aquatic birds
also enjoy attention. The book, which has been
got up in a cheap form, is very neatly printed,
and profusely illustrated with wood-cuts.

CLARENCE r. NEWTON CRICKET CLUB.

This match came off on the Newton Ground, Ney,34l, on
Saturday last, the 28th inst. The Clarence woo the toss, and
sent the Newtonians to the wicket, but in con.,equence of the
swift and steady bowling of Messrs, Noires and Metcalfe, did
not run up anything of a scores their last wicket falling for
82 runs. The Clwre,ce. followed for only 25. The Newton
went in for sgc.ond billings, and slightly improved on their
first ipaa, making 42, leaving the Clarence only 50 to win,
which they did very easily, with five wickets to go down, Mr.
Burling making a clever 21, put together by nine twos and
three singles ; also Mr. Metcalfe 10. The score was as follows:
