NOT DEAD YET. By I. C. Jeaffreson, Author of
"Live it Down," &c. 3 vole.--" This is a very clever
novel. There is a hearty pleasant tone throughout, and
the interest is sustained from the very first to the very last
page. The characters are sketched with a masterly hand.
Rupert Smith, the man about town,' plausible schemer,
and thorough villain; Edward Smith, the artist, as pure
And noble-minded a character as novelist ever depicted ; Sir
Frank Starling, the hard unforgiving old baronet; Mr,
Parfleet, the family solicitor ; John Harrisos Newbolt, the
Radical Boanerges of the House of Commons, who buys
pictures as an investment, and thus becomes
the patron of
Edward; his daughters Ida and Florence; the rollicking
but right-hearted medical man, Nat Savage; pretty Kitty
Kent, Rupert's victim ; Dick O'Mulligan, the fortunate
digger—are all true to the life, and could only have been
depicted by one who is quite familiar with all the various
aspects of modern society."— United Service Magazine,
GALLANT EXPLOIT OP AN ENGLISHMAN IN THE
CONFEDERATE AR: Nov. 18, 1863.—We drove
the enemy to-day from his advanced lines in front of Knox..
ville, close under his works. This sortie was the occasion
of one of those dashing feats of individual gallantry which
notice. A breastwork was charged by

Artillery Battalion, stationed several hundred yards from
plain—the only horseman in the melee—rode in advance
of
the scene of conflict, mounting his horse and dashing across
thethe wavering line up to the very works of the enemy. A.
hundred rifles were lowered upon him, but he moved on,
and rallied the wavering line ; the work was carried, and
Winthrop borne away with a Minie ball through his shoul-
der, his sword scabbard broken by another, and the point of
his sword cut off by another. His escape was miraculous,
but he is doing well, and will soon again report for duty,

THE TULLIBODY BRIDGE MURDER CASE..--ThEl
trial of Thomas Arnot for the murder of a lad named David
Paton on the Alloa road, near Tullibody Bridge, on March
15 last, took place on Monday before the High Court of
Justiciary in Edinburgh. It was stated by the prisoner's
counsel that he was insane and unable to give instructions
for his defence, and that therefore he was not a fit subject
for trial. Evidence having been led as to the state of mind
of the accused, the Court found that the case was beyond
doubt one of present insanity, exempting the party from
trial. Order for the strict custody of the accused in Alloa
prison until her Majesty's pleasure should be known, was
then made ; and Arnot, whore demeanour in court had been
very stolid, was removed from the bar,
