MR. GLEIG'S NE',V WORK, " TRADITIONS OF
CHELSEA COLLEGE."—From the first announcement of this
new work, by the celebrated author of " The Subaltern," we
predicted (says the Sunday Times) that it would prove a rich
intellectual treat, and its perusal has fully realised our antici-
pation. It opens with a short but very interesting history of
the noble institution from its origin by Charles the Second and
his favourite Nell Gwynne, down to the present time. In this
respect it is valuable, but it possesses other and still more at-
tractive features. The author, with a tact peculiar to him-

self, has made all the remarkable events of time subservient
to his purpose ; he has invested historical facts with the rich
colouring of fiction ; and we find details relative to the wars
of the Commonwealth, that are altogether new to us. The
portion, however, by which we have been more than ordinarily
entertained, consists of the old veteran's stories, as related by
themselves to the author. None but a soldier can do justice
to a soldier's life, and here we have a perfect sketch of his
chequered career. Every page teems with incident and ad-
venture, and of every possible description from grave to gay.
We feel assured that this work must become popular."
THE BENCH AND TILE BAR.—These volumes
are written in a free, sketchy style, with a total absence of
pretension. Whatever has passed under the writer's own eye
is described in a manner that shows great shrewdness in the
perception of character and considerable graphic power in-
pourtraying it, whether the subject be one for the exercise of
talent " grave or gay, lively or severe." The light and shade
of this picture of the forensic Babel, Westminster Hall, is well
disposed, the graver parts of the composition being agreeably
relieved by touches of humour which prevent the attention
from flagging, even within the gloomy prec►ncts of the Chan-
cery Courts. The author, though sometimes severe, and not
unjustly so, upon the failings and foibles of " the profession,"
never indulges in that strain of criticism which betrays male-
volence or ill-nature.—Morning Herald.
MR. BULWER'S NEW NOVEL.—We consider
" Rienzi" as the master-piece of Mr. Bulwer in romance, and
up to the appearance of this work we had thought " Pelham,"
the best of the novels, but it is surpassed by " Ernest Maltra-
vers ;" the design of which, the illustration of the man of
genius—has been wrought out with a higher excellence.
.4 Pelham" is more pointed and brilliant in parts, but the aim
of " Maltravers" ranges above point and brilliancy—it is more
even, on a more lofty level. We fancy that we can here mark
the difference between the young author who seized upon the
attention of the public by sparkling thoughts and epigrammatic
effects, and the writer of assured reputation, confident of being
followed as he pursues his story, and regardful only of what
pertains to the design or the action of it. The handling of
this work is indeed eminently easy and steady, nothing appears
strained in it, there is the smoothness of the most perfect faci-

lity; and there is the product of the greatest powers of author-
ship ; we have read it with:an interest and au admiration not to
be expressed in the hackneyed terms of praise. The variety,
the still advancing merit, and the rapidity of Mr. Bulvver's
productions, altogether make a phenomenon in literature.

The only salmon, we believe, at the late City ban-
quet, was that served up at her Majesty's table. It was one
of two taken in the river Tivy, where it joins the boundaries
of the counties of Carmarthen and Cardigan, at the village of
Kenarth, by a poor lame fisherman, of the name of William
Griffiths. Perceiving the smallest of these fish, weighing
about ten pounds, to be what is technically called a new sal-
mon, that is a fish in prime order for the table at a very early
season, William determined to gratify, his loyal feelings by
contributing this prime morceau for the' use of the roya(ban-
quet, and with characteristiC Welsh loyalty, despatched it by
the mail to the Lord Mayor, to form part of the civic enter-
tainment given to the Queen.—Shrewsbury Chronicle.
SECRET OF HEALTII.—With regard to exercise,
judge between the two following extremes :—A fox-hunter
can get drunk every night in the year, and yet live to an old
age ; but then he is all exercise and no thought. A seden-
tary scholar shall not be able to get drunk once a year with im-
punity • but then he is all thought and no exercise. Now the
great object is neither to get drunk, nor to be all exercise, nor
to be all thought ; but to enjoy all our pleasures with a
sprightly season. The four ordinary secrets of health are—
early rising, exercise, i.ersoual cleanliness, and rising from the
table with the stomach unoppressed. There may be sorrows
in spite of these, but they will be less with them, and nobody
can be truly comfortable without them.
