tition to be discharged before the Commissioners of the Insol-
vent Court, in Portugal-street, on the 17th ultimo, but tho
hearing was aejourned, with several others, till the Monday
follo.ving. Owing to the great disappointment in not being
heard on that day, he returned to prison labouring under great
excitement. On Monday morning he was so unwell as to be

part of his medical attendant, he gradually got worse, and died
on Thursday night (the 23d ult.), leaving a widow and six
children unprovided for.

Mr. Campbell writes more gaily and graphically than ever—
he rambles on " at his own sweet will," always informing, in-
teresting, and delighting us. The quiet humour, the pleasant
conversational style, the neatly-introduced anecdotes, and the
skilful manner in which the letters are written, add another
wreath to the many laurels already gained by this amiable and
estimable poet.
The interests of our Representatives in Parliament
would be materially served were the public to bear in mind,
that all letters sent to Members through the post should be
strictly confined within the prescribed weight of one ounce :
and further, that all petitions to Parliament should be for-
warded in the same form as newspapers—with both extremities
open, for the convenie:ice of inspection. It would also be
well to insribe on the envelope " Petition to Parliament."—.

The " New Monthly Magazine" gains fresh power
and animation as it proceeds, under the able directorship of
Theodore Hook. Some of the brightest stars of our literary
system now " shed their selcetest influence" over its pages;
and the present epoch of its career is marked by the imme-
diate succession of one of these, of peculiar lustre. Captain
Marryat, who is, probably, unsurpassed its popularity by any
living writer whatever, has brought the power of his genius to
the support of the " New Monthly"—enriching the March ,
Number with two contributions of some length—" The Phan-
tom Ship," a story (or, rather, the opening of one) of the
wildest interest ; and " Modern Town Houses," a happy ex-
hibiti9n, and almost as true as it is laughable, of the train of
evils attendant on those frail creations of the architect.
About sixty bottle-nosed whales appeared off the

people, -who chased them to the end of the loch.
