THE HON. KEPPEL CRAVEN'S " EXCURSIONS
IN THE ABRUZZI AND NORTHERN PROVINCES OF NAPLES."—
To all those who have ever " swam in a gondola," and are
blessed with glowing recollections of happy days, spent under
the bright skies of Italy, amidst the ruins and recollections
of classic antiquity, and the monuments of modern art, these
volumes will be received with welcome. Every page sparkles
with names suggesting agreeable associations, or supplying
new facts to fill up deficiencies in the traveller's note book.
To all such a -work on Italy, by the son of a gifted mother—
one of the pleasantest, perhaps, of our writers of travels—by
the friend and companion of Gell, and one who, like him, has
passed the greater part of his life in the scenes he has de-
scribed, can scarcely fail to be read with pleasure. The
ground over which Mr. Craven has passed is not a portion of
that high road on which our English travellers are wont to
play the game of follow my leader, tracing each other servilely
by the track, performing the same feats, taking the same
leaps, and playing the same antics • or (to drop the metaphor)
seeing the same sights and overlooking the same things. To
very many the scenes described will be perfectly new. We
take leave of Mr. Keppel Craven with hearty good wishes for
all success of his work ; and that when he again rides forth on
his Excursions, " we may be by to see."—Athenceutn.
MRS. GORE'S " MARY RAYMOND AND OTHER
TALES."—Speaking of these delightful stories, the Atlas ob.
serves—•' We have character in them —a trait of passion—
the working of an influence upon the mind—a national pecu.
liarity—something that clings to the memory ; and bequeaths
its wisdom or its wit to us ever after. The hand of power is
visible everywhere, and even in these brief productions, as in
her more elaborate works, we are compelled to wonder that
such vigorous and masterly conceptions should have sprung
from the imagination of a woman—especially of one who
sympathises so entirely with the feelings of her own sex."
AMERICAN TREES.—Scientific travellers have rc.
marked, that the mountains and rivers of America are upon a
more grand and magnificent scale than those of the old world ;
and that her trees and vegetable productions have a correspon-
ding superiority, in the luxuriance of growth, and medicinal
efficacy, not found in those of other regions. We are indebted
to her for some valuable additions to our toilettes, and, among
others, the " Balm of Columbia," introduced to us by Messrs.
C. and A. Oldridge. This very elegant chemical preparation,
extracted from a tree, was first produced in Philadelphia,
where its unparalleled success secured it a patronage of the
highest respectability ; and when it was brought to this country
in 1823, it soon received that stamp of public approbation,
which gave it a still higher degree of celebrity. Numerous
certificates in the hands of the proprietors prove that itlas the
singular and valuable properties of strengthening weak hair,
and preventing its falling off; of communicating fresh life to its
apparently dead and decaying roots ; of arresting incipient
baldness, and causing hair to grow where it had wholly disap-
peared. Many a gentleman whose head was rapidly losing its
natural ornament, has by the use of this balm recovered his
locks, and found them curling in more than their wantea luxu-
riance ; and many an elegant woman who was dismayed at the
diminution of her most valuable decoration, has by applying
this active restorative, imparted a salutary vigour to her tresses,
which have again waved and wantoned in exuberance and
beauty. Oldridge's Balm causes Whiskers and Eye-brows to
grow, prevents the hair from turning grey, and completely
frees it from scurf. Sold wholesale and retail by the Proprie-
tors, I, Wellington-street, Strand, London, and by most of
the respectable Perfumers and Medicine Venders : Price
3s. 6d., 6v., and 11s. per bottle. No other prices are genuine
N.B.—The public are requested to be on their guard against
Counterfeits, ask for Oldridge's Balm, 1, Wellington-street,
Strand, London.
On Wednesday evening last a parcel was received
by the sexton of St. Lawrence's parish, in this town, which
was found to contain the body of a female child, which ap-
peared not to have survived its birth many hours. The parcel
was brought from London by the Telegraph coach, and no
trace has yet been obtained of the authors of so revolting an
act. There were no apparent parks of violence on the body.
