"These interesting volumes possess considerable merit as regards
information on that important subject, the state of the West,lndies
as they are at present." —Sun.
"It would be unjust to deny the vigour, brilliancy, and varied in-
terest of this work, the abundant stores of anecdote and incident;
acid the copious detail of local habits and peculiarities in each island,
visited in succession."—Globe.

DUBLIN, THURSDAY.--THE WEATHER.--The long-
desired change in the weather appears to have taken
place. Light rain is now falling, and it is hoped that
the remainder of the day, at least, may be rainy. The
ground requires a great deal of moisture after the long
drought. Pasture has become scarce everywhere. In
many districts lambs have died from the want of young
grass and fresh water. So far, however, no material
damage has. been done, and it a good dash of rain fall
now the past season will be regarded as having been
most favourable to the country. All the crops—saving
only the grass—are considered healthy and strong.
There is a great portion of a bog on tire, and has been
so for wirrio days past, in the county of Kildare.
The KP.per Mountaie, in the county Tipperary, has
been on fire for the past seven or eight days. A corre-
,iyindent states that the fire was occasioned by :a pea-
stint throwing a piece of lighted paper with which be
oad bees kindling his pipe upon the dry farza with
which the mountains tire nearly ooverecl.

[ADVERTISEMENT ]-12ne Royal Exbibition.—A
valuable, newly-invented, very small powerful waistcoat
pocket glass, the size of a walnut, by which a person can be
seen and known l miles distant ; they answer every purpose

S. and B. Solomons, Opticians, 39, Albemarle-street, Picca-
dilly, opposite the York-hotel. Telescopes—A new and most
important invention in Telescopes, possessing, such extra-
ordinary powers, that some, 311 inches, with an extra eye piece,
will show distinctly, Jupiter's Moons, Saturn's Ring, and the
Double Stars. With the same Telescope, weighing only three
ounces, can be seen a person's countenance 3 miles distant,
and an object from 16 to 20 miles. They supersede every
other kind for the waistcoat pocket, and are of larger and all
sizes, with increasing powers accordingly. Opera and Race-
course glasses, with wonderful powers; an object can be

posite the York Hotel.
INFORMATION FOR ELECTORS.—THE PEERAGE
AND LANDED GENTRY.—At the present moment, when the
country is intently occupied with electioneering matters, the
appearance of the new editions for 1852 of Mr. Burke's
" Peerage and Bsronetage" and " History of the Landed
Gentry" must be considered most opportune by all who
desire information as to the family history and connexions,
public services and territorial intereWs, &c., of the individuals
who form the class of our gentry eligible to serve in Parlia-
ment. " The ' Peerage and the Landed Gentry' of Mr.
Burka" (as the Athenaum justly observes) " are two works
of public utility—constantly referred to by all classes of
society, and rarely opened without being found to supply the
information sought. They are accessions of value to our
books of reference, and few who pyrite or talk much about
English Pees and English Landed Gentry can well be
looked on as safe a t.tiortties without a knowledge of the
contents of Mr. Burke's careful compilations."
