LADY GOODCHILD'S FAIRY RING. London : Iloulston
and Wright, Paternoster-row.
If children love to hear of fairy land, if they delight
to read about fairies, thoso.tiny beings dancing in their
robes of emeral green, with the diamond dew drops
shining, on them, dancing merrily round in the soft light
of the summer moon, they ought to read Sarah Good
child's tales, a nosegay of tradition, forming a rare
treasury of fairy lore, a suitable present from a parent
to his child. This work will impart joy to many a
young heart, and will delight many a parent's eye at
seeing the delight of his; children on his presenting
them with this truly excellent collection of fairy tales.
This miscellany is a first-rate work of enterfeiument,
fancy, and delight, the moral of.. the tales are all excel-
lent, and are presented under a guise which ensures the
attention of the reader, awaken the fancy, and delight
the newly-kindled faculties of the youthful mind. It
is also enriched with numerous illustrations of fairy life
—a sure method of making it attractive to the juvenile
reader. •

The Herold gives a flat contradiction to the reported
interview with the Earl of Derby. on Tuesday, after the
division. His lordship went out of London at seven
o'clock on Tuesday morning and did not return until
late in the evening.
SOUTHAMPTON, MAY 24.—An explosion from fire
damp has just occurred on board the Peninsular and
Oriental Company's steamer Orissa, lying in Southampton
Docks. The deck cabins, bulkheads, &c. were blown to
atoms. Five men have been brought ashore, and sent
to the Infirmary.
