" VNORMOUS IMPORTATION of INDIA
SHAWLS—The recent disturbances in India appear to
have had little influence over the commerce of the interior as
affecting the importations of produce Into this country. The
charming and salubrious valley of Cashmere continues to supply
the cultivate(' taste of European ladies with the most gorgeous
and beautifully-wrought shawls. The sale just concluded was
one of the largest on record, and, notwithstanding • prevalent
opinion to the contrary, owing possibly to the quantity of shawls
imported, has passed off with complete success. We under-
stand Messrs. Farmer and Rogers, of Regent street, have, in
anticipation of a further advance in prices, speculated largely at
the sale, and these purchases, in addition to those made by pri-
vate contract, must greatly enhance the interest attached to
this important branch of their celebrated emporium.“—Morning

TRUT H'S CONFLICTS.
A Series of Essays on some Great Questions of the Day.

By Rey. STEPHEN JENNER, M.A.

"This is no commonplace book, and. if we mistake not, is
destined to give a name to its author. There is a vivacity and
forte about the style, as well as an originality and freshness
about the thoughts, /flitch make it anything out dull reading;
while there is a hind of information in the work on various
subjects connected with religion which renders it as instructive
as it is interesting. We du most heartily commend this admir-
able volume. It cannot fail to create • sound and healthy
sentiment on aubjects which passion warps and prejudice clouds
in the present day."—The Press.
"In these Essay. it is not too much to affirm that the earnest
inquirer after truth will find abundant food for healthful and
profitable reflection. They are very a',ly written. The reason-
ing is close and logical, and characterized by extreme fairness
and candour. Throughout the volume there is much originality
of thought and happiness of style and expression."—Mornisy
Herald.

" Expresses his opinions with clearness and ability "
Morning Post.

" Of these Essays we may say that they deal with thelrWulkieets
generally in a masterly and original manner."— Clerical Jourisal.

profound attention of all persons."—Reeord.

Witness.

" Mr. Jenner is evidently a man of refined, reflective, and
cultivated mind. The titlepage convey, no just idea of the
contents or character of the work. The principles maintained
are in our view generally sound; the tone and temper are
healthy, and the arguments are conducted with calmness and
strength. it is a b.,ok for many, and especially for those of
educated mind,' who are seeking light on the subjects dir
cussed."—The Eclectic.

" We have no hesitation in pronouncing this one of the ablest
works that has appeared upon the present agitated religions
questions:'—The Bulwark.

calm investigation and the patient force ot thought.. The Chavb
of England owes Mr. Jenner a deep debt of gratitude for these
masterly Essays."—Estes Standard.
