The first article we meet with is " My Cousin Cu-
rehne's Wedding," which is very amusing. There
is a short notice of Miss Austen, under the head of
" FemalesNovelist.9," in which it is asserted that she
has not " even yet reaped her rightful share of public
homage." Both Sir Welter Scott and Archbishop
Whiteley have proclaimed her merits in the pages of
the Quarterly Review. The " Phantom Chase" is a
wild Getman; story, full of mystery and appalling
Incident—as such, truly-characteristic of the nation.
" Hester Somerset," which has been so long pro-
gressing, has now reached the nineteenth chapter and
the third volume. The entertaining and ludicrous
adventures of " Young Torn Hall' are continued,
dcu'itle,s to tbe' amusement of many. There
likewise h long criticism on the in( rits of the exhibi-
tion at the Royal Academy, which is on the .whia'
highly•laudatory of the various works submitted tqr,
public inspection.
