The Drury-lane concerts (says the Literary Gazette)
season,
have not been a success. The performances have been
made up of music good, bad, and indifferent, the former
happily, and for the most part prevailing ; but whether
the taste for such reunions has died out with the de-
parture of M. Jullien, or whether the weather has been
too unfavourable for the public to venture out of doors,
or whether any other cause, unknown except to a few,
has prevailed to keep that public away, certainly the
audiences have neither been large nor enthusiastic.
The Paris publishers are now at the very height of
their Christmas publishing, in which the religious
public" is not forgotten. We observe announcements
of no fewer than five editions of "Thomas a Kempis !"
Among the innumerable almanacks for 1860, be it noted
that the French "Prophetic Almanack" (published by
Pagnerre) is prefaced by astronomical observations from
the pen of M. Babinet of the Institute, the popular but
the profound man of science.
A. correspondent of the Critic writes :—I heartily
approve of the formation of a Booksellers' Association
for watching and protecting the interests of so important
a body. I think, too if in connection therewith some
provision could be made for its members and their wives
and families in times Of affliction, an important boon
Would be conferred, especially when I remember that
all the country trade are excluded from the enjoyment
of any of the privileges offered by the London Book-
sellers' Provident Society.
An allusion was made in the Critic last week to Mr.
Walter Savage Landor's extraordinary epistle to the
Times on the Italian question. It might have been
thought that Mr. Landor had had enough of poetry at
least. Not so, however. A Scotch publisher announces
a new edition of his " Hellenics," to contain several
new poems, while others aie re-written. It would have
been well for himself and for his fame, if certain of Mr.
Landor's poems (or verses) had never had been
written.

Mr. Lewes, it is said, is writing the opening article

We (Athenaeum) announce with great satisfaction
that the trustees of the British Museum have at length
taken into serious consideration the difficulties in which
they are placed by our vast accumulation of literary and
scientific treasures. Something will no w, we trust, be
done. At a very full meeting of the board—after con-
siderable discussion as to the principle of separation—
the trustees have appointed a sub-committee to consider
and report on- the subject. The speaker of the House
of Commons, as representative of the, owers that pay, is
to act as chairman of the sub-committee. The public
will wait its report with not less confidence than interest.
A dinner to a schoolmaster, exclaims the " Town
Talker" of the Illustrated News, and given (deservedly)
by more than two hundred and fifty men and lads taught
by Dr. Vaughan, of Harrow ! Here is matter for re-
flection. No such compliment was paid to Roger
Ascham, or George- Buchanan, or William Camden, or
Richard Busby, or Br. Johnson, or even to Dr. Arnold.
The disuse of rod and cane has done much to endear

• We understand that Herr Reitchel will visit England
in March next, with a model, one-third the real size, of

speaks well, includes eleven statues, and will occupy an
area of about 40 feet square.—Builder.
The sketches and collections of the late Mr. Leslie—

THE CALAIS AND BOULOGNE. RAILWAY.—We are
informed on good authority that the Chamber of Com-
merce of Calais has received a letter. from the minister
at Paris, to the effect that the projected railway between
Calais and Boulogne will be commenced in the spring of
1860. It is expeoted that this railway will be opened
within 18 inonths.from the date of its commencement,
when the route to .Paris via Dover and Calais will be
traversed in a shorter time than via Folkestone and
Boulogne.—Dover Telegrdph:
•- EXPLORATION OF THE AUSTRALIAN INTERIOR.—It is
satisfactory to find that the funds for the exploration of
the interior ate in a fair way of being provided. The
Exploration COMmittee have redeemed their pledge to
the doncr of £l,OOO, by doubling the amount of his sub-
scription. They have not only within the year 'col-
lected the £2,000, required In order to secure the above
donation, but several hundred pounds in addition. As-
before 'announced in this journal they have obtained free
transport for stores on the Darling, equal to a donation
of £5OO. The camels have been ordered froin India,
bat it appears they cannot be_shipped before December
or January. In the meantime, as the expense of the
expedition will greatly-exceed
:the amount of the sub-
scriptions, the GoVerninent have been applied to for a
grant in aid, and it is probable that a sum sufficient for
the purpOse,will be placed. upon :the- estimates. There
is now; therefore, a reasonable' expeetation that an effi.
cient expedition will be formed, and 'will start for the
interior in the early part_ of the- ensuing year.—Nel-
bourne. Argue.

THE SYSTEM OF FALSE The LAEELLlNO.movement •
't ' '
set agoing by Messist'lonas Brook and Company, of
Meltham, near Huddersfield, for the establishment of a•
society to suppress the practice Of labellinggoods falsely,
has met with some degree ,of success, and-. has received
the Support 'of some of the-largest firms engaged in the
thread and other similar manufactures. The evil is one
of some:magnitude; and it is only by its continued expo-
sure and condemnation that it is likely. to be put down.
It is manifest that the retail dealer. has 'much. in his
power in a matter of this kind.- His eustoiners -will_
surely let him know if any manufacturer from whom
• he receives supplies dishonestly adopts --the practice of
labelling his goods longer lengths than -they actually
run.. The keenness of competition in trade is charged
as the principal cause of this kind of practice, bid such
competition affords . the'. very, strongest argument in
favour of the effort to •• put it down; for if the dealers
will only lofty those small Wares which prove generally to
be of .the lengths they are marked, the, manufacturers
-are all on a fair level of equality in the , Market. .. The
honest trader- who 'gives 100- yards, marked such, can.
have no chance as against the man whO marks-his reels
100 yards and -only:gives 60 or 40 ;: and. it is stated that
instances of defiCiency to. this'extent axe not •unfreepient. -
When the. society ':recently formed has received: t
countenance of the large wholesale . honks- in-:London,
' Manchester, -Glastgowi:. Leeds',-, Bradford, 'Huddersfield,
&C..; the system mill be put an end to with comparatively
little difficulty. . .

was frequently .an invalid,.,alarm was, not excited as to

unexpected. Two of Mr. De Quincey's daughters were

that *test. ,t4.l;the very last his. perceptions were as

'and twigbt,, day by daq faded and shrunk, his mind
retained, unimpaired, its characteristic capaciousness,
activity, and acuteness. Within a week or two he

Ifnition -of Which his conversation 'partook equally with

displaying so much of 'elasticity and power that even'

startled and Shocked by the seeming suddenness of his
