.4 Lawrie Todd is the auto-biography of a Seotchman
who has been sometime in the State of New-York. Be-
sides the peculiarities of his own character it will afford, we
understand, ♦iews of society and of scenes new in a great
measure to literature, particularly in the descriptions of the
foundation and rise of an American settlement, with the
moral effect of its progress on the dispositions of the different
persons who occupy the foreground of the pictures. I❑
this respect the work will have special claims to attention :
perhaps no other writer has had equal opportunities of ac-
quiring exact knowledge of operations so primitive and cu-
rious."—Morning Paper.

By RENE CAILLIE.
Among the geographical problems which, during the
last half century, hare occupied the attention of the world
and awakened a spirit of enterprise and adventure, the ex-
istence of a large and populous city in the heart of Central
Africa stands pre-eminent. To decide this long agitated
question, various expeditions have been fitted out, but
without success. In vain have Houghton, Browne,
Horneman, Park, Tuckie, Peddie, Campbell, Gray,
Ritchie, Bowditch, Oudney, Clapperton, Denham, and
Laing—in vain have Burckhardt, Beaufort, Mollien, and
Belzoni endeavoured to remove the veil that enveloped this
mysterious city. Of this number Major Laing alone
reached the derired goal, but through the barbarous mur-
der of that officer, the results of his persevering exertions
have been unhappily lost to his country. M. Calla is
the first European who has been enabled to penetrate to
Tiatbuctoo and to return to Europe with full and accurate
information respecting this hitherto unkno /ILI capital.

DR. EDMUND CALAMY'S
HISTORICAL ACCOUNT of his OWN LIFE
and TIMES, now first printed from the Original M.S.,
including interestiug particulars relative to Lord Shaftes-
bury, Duke of Buckingba'n, Prince of Orange, Lord
Clarendon, Lord Lauderdale, Lord W. Russell, Dr. Til-
lotson, Dr. Oates, Sir W. Temple, Mr. Hampden, Mr.
Baxter, Dr. Burnet, Dr. Sherlock, Hobbes, &c. &c.
4' The existence of this work in M.S. has long been
known and often adverted to ; and we do not consider that
the parties who have had the custody of the papers can be
Justified for their long retention of them from the public
eye, when they must have known that by printing the
memoirs they would have conferred a lasting service on
the history of their country. It would not be possible to
deny its claim to attention as an authentic record of some
of the most curious and important events of our national
existence. But when to this Merit it adds the advantage
of being exceedingly entertaining and various in its de-
tails, of abounding in anecdotes of great personages awl
in narratives of much interest—we think it likely that
Dr. Calamy's autobiography will become one of the most
popular books of Memoirs extant, ranking with those of
Evelyn and Pepys. As a private history of public events,
that is to say, as a disclosure of hidden motives and secret
influences, we repeat that we knew of no work of rarer
value, and, indeed, it will not henceforth be safe for the
historical student to possess himself of the Chronicles of
Burnet and of Clarendon, unaccompanied by the corrector
of their errors, Calamy."—Literary Gazette.

A ship called Le Petit Auguste, belonging
to Brest, was wrecked last week near Hourtin, in the de-
partment of La Gironde. Her Captain was found frozen
to death in the Downs ; he was dressed, and had a cane
under his arm, and gloves o❑ his hands. Two seamen,
who had got on shore with him, were returning on board
to fetch his papers, when they perceived that he had
ceased to live. The fate of the boy who had accompanied
the twa4iailers is not yet.known. All the rest of the crew
perished at sea.

gentleman should be responsible for the value.
Herdsfield found in the possession of the prisoner
several letters from Bishops, on the subject of his
application tobe ordained.—Remanded till Saturday.
A young countryman came to the Justice•room to
iuform the LORD MAYOR of the success of a sum-
mons which had been granted to him, in conse-
quence of his complaint against a certain medical
company. He had, it appeared, applied to the
company to cure him of a furred tongue and a
pain in the bowels, and after having paid the fee of
a g►uinea to the Doctor, was told by him that he
should be cured for 10!. altogether. lie was in-
duced, for his health's sake,.to give the money.
However, upon going again to the place of cure, he
saw another Doctor, he believed the principal, and
was told by him that the sum of twenty guineas
must be paid for the remedy. This he thought
most exorbitant, and he not only refused to pay the
amount, but he thought prudent to complain pub-
licly, and have the money he had already paid, if
possible. The moment he presented the summons,
the whole of the money was returned to him, and
the expenses of the summons ; and the Doctors
asked him in alarm, whether he made the applica-
ticn in a low tone.
Sir P. LAURIE highly commended the conduct of
the young man, in having made so resolute a stir
about his property.
GUILDHALL.
Wm. Paul, a stage-coach cad, was brought up
for re-examination, charged with defrauding Messrs.
Clemitt, Evans, and Co., of the New-inn, Old
Bailey, by delivering a parcel from Uxbridge, which
he had received from the coachman, but which, in
the ordinary course of business, should have passed
through the complainant's booking-office.
The Magistrate held the prisoner, in his own re-
cognizance, to appear at the next Sessions.
A respectable-looking young woman presented
herself to swear an affidavit that she had had no
connexion with her husband for a certain time past,
and that she never would have any hereafter.

"'The marshalman said her parents were in good
circumstances, and she had been deserted by her
husband; but they refused to receive her into the
family again unless she made this oath.
Mr. Alderman COPELAND said the proceeding
was altogether unnatural, and he could not suffer
her to make such an oath; and the young woman
retired, covered with confusion.
