meeting- of the Tee-Total Abstinence Society was held on
Wednesday evening la,t in Bristo-street Church—Robert
Guest White, Eqq., late High Sheriff of Dublin,
in the

that a bailiff and broker were in his house, at Burton Joyce,

been occupying at the public-house, and went home, where'
seeing the men at their wink, he took up one of the bee-
hives, full of bees, and threw it into the room, shutting the

L. E. L.'s, NEW NOVEL.—We are delighted to
observe that to Miss Landon's charming novel of "
Churchill" has been assigned the post of honour in
Athencezint, with a due tribute of acknowledgment to thL"
talent of the gifted authoress. We find," says the editor,
in the prose writings of Miss Landon the same wara4h!
of feeling as in her verse. The language only is changed
i
the genius that prompts it is the same." This new !Wei
as we have already intimated, is a story of the reign
.°
George 11., in which all the personages of the period di'.
tinguished for wit, learning, and fashion, figure on the scene'
We pronounce that it will become the favourite book of the
season.
