where a ♦ery profuse luncheon was provided. At its
conclusion,

The CHAIRMAN rose and said he had to propose the
only toast that it was customary to give on that occa-
sion, which was "The Health of the Principal and Pro-
fessors," and said that although in two years that Col-
lege would be brought to a close, yet it had brought for-
ward men well qualified for the service of India. From
the time the College was instituted, its Professors were
men of eminent qualifications, which he believed was the
character of the men whose healths he had now the
honour to propose. He concluded by proposing the
healths of the Principal and Professors. (Cheers.)

THE HOUSE OF ELMORE. A FAMILY HISTORY. 3
VoLs.—The dtep aid stern poetry of Nemesis runs
through this splendid production of a pen which by this,
apparently its first effort, has secured reputation and a
hearty welcome fur itself, whenever it shall again be set
in motion. The story, conceived with great skill, is
based upon the idea of fated and hereditary crime, which
coustitutes the sub!irne beauty of Greek tragedy, and is
worked out in a succession of powerful portraitures and
of soul-stirring scenes. The language is full of nervous
energy, and replete with life-like touches of character,— I
