I‘TR. SPENCER'S TRAVELS IN CIRCASSIA,

KRIII TARTARY, &c.—This is, without exception, the most
interesting book of travels we have read for some years. It
relates to countries far beyond the bowling-green path of
our tourists ; it is written without art ; and is pervaded by
a good spirit—qualities that cannot fail to render it popular,
especially at a crisis like the present, when the fate of
Circassia is trembling in the balance of war. Thz.-steam
voyage of Mr. Spencer down the Danube, and the obser-
vations which his coasting voyage round the Black Sea ena-
bled him to make, form not the least interesting portion of

his narrative. We must repeat, in conclusion, that Mr.
Spencer's book merits all the praise we have given it. It
contains information relative to the Circassians that we
should vainly search for in any other work.—Atlas.
The Polish refugees have resolved to celebrate an
annual fete in honour of Kosciusko, at the Chateau of Po-
lonia, at Montigny-sur-Loing, noar Fontainebleau. The
fete, which is to take place on the 3d of September, will
begin early in the morn►ng ; a mount will be erected and
called after Kosciusko ; the chapel dedicated to St. Thad-

deus will be opened ; and, after the ceremony, there will be
a grand banquet. During the day there will be games and
amusements of all kinds, concluding with fireworks in the

evening.

STOKESIIILL PLACE.—The main interest of this
new novel by Mrs. Gore turns upon the career of Mr.
Barnsley, and the character of his daughter Margaret.
Barnsley himself, the hero, was bred an attorney,• but by
marrying his master's only daughter, he stepped into a
fortune of some hundred and fifty thousand pounds, and
purchased Stokeshill Place, in consequence of having been
piqued at school Ly the perpetual description of its glo-
ries by the son of its embarrassed owner. He forces
his way into the rank and standing of a country gentleman
by his activity in the business of the county. Ou the ac-
cession of one of its members to the Peerage, he repre-
sents the neighbouring borough, comes to London, and,
through his politics, procures a fashionable chaperon for
his daughter Margaret ; embarks in London gaieties, is
gratified by his own senatorial importance, and the effect
which the beauty and accomplishments of his daughter
produce on the fashionable world ; when ruin overtakes
him in his seventh heaven. Every one who condescends
to read a novel must road Stokeshill Place ; but we will
not mar the interesting suspense of perusal by telling how
it ends.—Sprotater.
The German Courier of the 12th inst., states that
Prince Paskevitch has addressed a memoir to the Emperor
of Rossi ► on the state of Poland, in which he represents that
the country being now covered with Russian garrisons, and
governed by Russian laws, it is needless to apprehend any
further disturbances, and that measures of conciliation
shoat! now be adopted. This course he recommends, on
account, net only of the great expense of a military occu-
pation, but also because it is important to Russia to be able
to turn all her forces towards the east, and not to be em-
harrimcd by anything that may call for eiprtion in the west.
