THE ASIATIC JOURNAL

Contains this month a series of sketches entitled
" Journal of a Tour in the Himalaya Mountains,'
which the lovers of voyages and travels—and their
name is Legion—will find very attractive reading.
The remainder of the Papers call for no particular
comment. They are for the most part devoted to
oriental matters.

Some English speculators at Constantinople have
been proposing to construct railroads in Turkey.
A respectable looking man, named Denison, who
had been committed to Hereford gaol on suspicion of theft,
was brought up on Tuesday, and again remanded, when he
asked the Mayor as a favour to be permitted to break
stones, or to be employed in any other way, as he found
idleness so very insupportable that any labour would be a
relief. The request was immediately complied with.

The late Sir Coutts Trotter, Bart., has left three
daughters—namely, the lady of Colonel James Lindsay,
late of the Grenadier Guards, son of the Hon. Robert
Lindsay, younger son of James, fifth Earl of Balcarras, and
has issue, Coutts, to whom the Baronetcy is limited in re-
mainder, and he is, therefore, now Sir Coutts Lindsay.
Susan, married to the Hon. Major Keppell, second son of
the Earl of Albemarle, and Miss Margaret Trotter, who
was said to have been recently under a matrimonial en-
gagement to the Viscount Rochefoucauld, a distinguished
French nobleman, but the match was broken off. Lady
Trotter is related to the Earl of Aberdeen, being a daughter
of the Hon. Alexander Gordou. Sir Coutts has died very
wealthy. His three daughters are co-heiresses to his large
fortune. The late Baronet, though bearing the name of
Coutts, was only very distantly related to the first husband
of the late Duchess of St. Alban's. He was one of the
coronation batch of Baronets in September, 1821.
Count Lewaszew arrived at Travemunde on the
26th ult., with the steam-boat from St. Petersburgh, and

- King Ernest on his accession in the name of his Ma-
jesty the Emperor of Russia.
We learn that the Dutch Government has it se-
riously in contemplation, to render the river, the Old
Yssel, navigable for ships, and that the authorities interested
will meet, under the direction of the Members of the
States of Guilderland, to come to a resolution on the sub-
ject. The realising of this plan is considered to be neces-
sary for the welfare of a population of 30,000 souls ; and
there is reason, too, for congratulation that the Govern-
ment now extends its special care to a district which has
remained much behind-hand, in consequence of the almost
impracticable chances of communication.
On account of the backward condition of some of
the harvest lands, some of the sportsmen have come to a
resolution not to commence sporting until a fornight after

Joseph Bonaparte, ex-King of Spain, and now
known by the name of Count de Survilliers, has taken
Brettenham Park, in the neighbourhood of Lavvsliall, for
a permament residence. The arrangements of the house-

has once or twice visited the town within the last fortnight.

Three individuals at this moment have almost mono-
polised the bookselling trade in Germany. The most
powerful of these is Baron Cotta, the proprietor of the
Allgenzeine Zeitung. Baron Cotta is likewise the pro-
prietor of six literary periodicals of a high standing, and of
several others of an inferior rank, and is said to have from
300 to 400 editors in his pay. He is proprietor of the
copyright of all the works of Goethe, Schiller, Herder, and
Uhland. The second of these literary grandees is Reimer,
of Berlin, who owns the copyright of all the works of Jean
Paul, Tiek, Kleist, Johannes Von Muller, Novelis, and
Schlegel. The third is Brockhause, of Leipsic, proprietor
of the Conversations Lexicon, which alone occupies more
than 100 literary men. Brokhause is likewise the publisher
of a most colossal encyclopedia, which, when finished, will
consist of at least 200 volumes, and he is now on the point
of undertaking the publication of a new daily paper.

about the same price. There were a few cherries at Gd.
per lb., and raspberries at 9d. and Is. per pottle ; goose-
berries and currants nearly as plentiful as they were some
weeks since. A very small quantity of green peas was to
be seen shelled—they sold at 10d. per quart ; French
beans were very plentiful.
FRENCH AND ENGLISH PRELATES.—The sala-
ries of the Prelates of France and England have, within a few
months, been determined by the legislative body of each coun-
try. The contrast is remarkable :

Archbishop of Paris (the same) 1,041 13 4 ,
French Archbishop (15,000 f.) 625 0 0 —""

A father and his son, named Berks, are committed
to our gaol for trial, charged with killing a near relative,
named John Moore, in a fight, at Wellington. The son
is charged with hitting the blow which caused Moore's
death, and the father with aiding and encouraging him.—
Shrewsbury Chronicle.

Lord Stanley has been visiting Sir James Graham,
at Netherby, and is now in Scotland. His scowl relaxed,
the other day, at the Falls of the Clyde. There is a story
about Mr. Hodgson giving up his seat for Berwick, to
mike room for Sir James Graham. Another story is, that
this act of self-devotion to the interests of the Tory party is
to be performed by Mr. Peyton, of Woodstock. Some-
thing was said about Ludlow, but the Earl of Powis is 710 t
dying.—Shrewsbury Chronicle.
