MISS PARDOE'S NEW WORK, " THE eo_
MANCE OF THE. HAREM."—The machinery by which the
various tales in this work aro combined into one consistent
wnole is, like the " Arabian Nights' Entertainments," a
romance in itself, and not the least interesting in the col-
lection. The stories, which are skilfully embroidered on
this canvass, are diversified in character and interest,
though the uniform fidelity to the distinguishing usages
and peculiar spirit of the Turks gives them a strong family
likeness to each other. " The Seven Doors" is a laugh-
able display of the extravagant excess of Turkish jealousy,
and of the enterprising ingenuity of Turkish love. Love
has- been said to laugh at Locksmiths, in all ages and
countries. Turkey, it would seem, forms no exception to
the general rule ; but there is something novel in the cir_
curnstance of the captive fair-one making her lover's inge-
nuity not only the instrument of his success, but the con..
dition of his triumph. " The Pacha's Daughter" and
" The Barber of Bassora" have both considerable merit as
exciting narratives; and they possess, in common with all
the others, the recommendation of being in strict con-
formity to the mental, moral, and material costume of the
diversified .population of the Ottoman Empire. —Morning

rritE WEATHER.—The extreme sensibility of
the skin has rendered the late weather, of alternate damp
and frost, a severe infliction upon many ladies and gentle
men, who have complained of considerable cutaneous
irri-
tability in the face. The extraordinary efficacy of R°
land's Kalydor in allaying all tendency to inflammation
the skin, is no less esteemed than are its peculiar virtues in
in enhancing. the beauty of the complexiotL These
whose face or hands are at all unpleasantlyaffected by
the weather should immediately have recourse to Row_
