DEPARTURE OF THB AMERICAN MAIM—LIVERPOOL,

Captain James West, sailed from the Mersey this after-

chandise on freight. Prior to her departure Messrs.
Williner and Smith, of Liverpool, placed a large number

causing injury and disappointment in trade, from its in-
terfereice not only with the expected settlement of the
course to be pursued with regard to the overlaid traffic
in Russian produce, but also from its being likely to
retard the bill for the alteration of the law of partner-
ship.

MRS. GORE'S NEw NOVEL " MAMMON; OR, THE
HARDSHIPS OF AN HEIRESS." —This book, taken as a
picture gallery of modern life, is a very remarkable per-
formance. Such keenness of observation, brilliancy of
wit, and careful study of human character, have seldom
been exhibited in a novel. Two or three of the sketches,
such as that of the young roué of Crockford's dwindled
into the worldly old beau, and the Nestor of political,
sporting, and fashionable life, consulted by all parties,
public and private, for the better regulation of their own
lied the nation's affairs, and the retired Q.C., witty,
wealthy, and wise, are masterly portraits.
