THE HOAX ABOUT LORD BROUGLIAM.—Agreeing
with the following observations of the Globe, we quote
them :—" We also say, the affair cannot be suffered to
rest where it is.' The original letter, alleged to have
been written by Mr. Shalt° to Mr. Montgomery, and
shown by that gentleman to Count D'Orsay, should
be suomitted to competent inspection—not only to
satisfy public opinion that it was not written by Mr.
Shafto, but to afford the means of ascertaining by whom
it was." We add that we have no doubt but that every
gentleman whose name has been mentioned will most
readily give every assistance in his power to discover the
author of the hoax.

ORIENTAL ANNUAL,
Tilt, London, 1839.

There is not only much amusement, but much
sterling information also contained in this Annual,
whose editor, a gentleman named Bacon, has
been careful to furnish us with many curious details
respecting a portion of India as yet but little known
to Europeans; while at the same time he has en-
livened his volume by highly-seasoned tales and
wild traditionary legends, so that it may not wear
too staid and weighty a character, but suit the
tastes of all classes of readers. The plates, which
are numerous, are for the most part finished in a
superior style, and if they really be, what they pro-
fess to be, drawn from actual existence, and not
mere fancy sketches, the architectural ruins scat-
tered about northern India, must be among the
most majestic and extensive in the world. Those,
in particular, in the neighbourhood of Delhi, once
the flourishing capital of the Mogul empire, are
such as cannot be looked upon without admiration.
Here we find grandeur combined with simplicity,
and not unfrequently an admixture of all the forms
of architecture, yet so dexterously contrived, as not to
shock the eye of taste, or even the most fastidious
stickler for harmony of proportion. " Shrine of
Reiman Shah Doolah," which is situated in the
environs of the ancient city of Elichpoor, represents
a magnificent building rising direct from the banks
of a broad- stream, at whose base thousands of
pilgrims are stationed, guarded by large bodies of
nat►ve troops, whose chiefs are mounted on
splendidly-caparisoned elephants. The details of
this engraving are wrought out with consummate
skill and attention, and teem with animation ;
though were we inclined to be hypercritical, we
might object perhaps that the sky which overhangs
the landscape, wears rather a European, than an
Oriental aspect. " Baoli, and Remains of Jehan-
ghir's Palace" is one of the most imposing ruins at
Delhi, in which we fancy we can detect some traces
of the rich Saracenic architecture. " Near Boor-
hanpoor" is a rueged and picturesque mountain
landscape, with the ruins of a castellated building
in the foreground. We have selected the best of
the Plates, but there are several others worthy of
more attention than we can afford to bestow on them.

IIND EN' S TABLEAUX.
Tilt, London, 1839.

Miss Mitford is the editor of this showy quarto
Annual, and contributes a prose tale or two to its
pages, though we would much rather that she
should have given us another of those fresh, lively,
sylvan sketches which formed the principal attrac-
tion of her " Belford Regis." The " King's
Page" is, we conclude, from the pen of this lady ;
it is a neatly told anecdote of one of Frederick of
Prussia's favourite Court Pages, whom he impri-
soned ill a momentary fit of spleen and distrust,
and liberated with breathless haste, on discovering
that his suspicions were groundless. By means of
easy and pointed dialogue this anecdote slender as
it is, is rendered very interesting. Miss Barrett,
one of the most promising young poets of the day,
challenges our admiration by the " Legend of the
Brown Rosary," which, in the quaint style of its
versification, reminds us of Southey's ballads, and
exhibits a wild luxuriance of fancy worthy almost
of the author of the " Ancient Mariner." The
fourth part (which is the best) of this Legend is
full of the most touching feminine sensibility. The
"Maid's Trial," which the author, Mr. Chorley,
calls a sea-tale, is just passable—nothing more.
" Venice" is a poem from the pen of Barry Corn-
wall. It contains one or two pleasing passages,
but as a whole, it is ineffective, chiefly because it is
too much made up of the ordinary common-places
of verse. The " Fetches" is a dramatic sketch,
by Mr. Horne, who states that the popular super-
stition on which the piece is found, is German,
but, if we mistake not, it is of Irish origin, and has
been turned to excellent account by Banim, in one
of his Tales of the O'Hara Family. Of the various
plates illustrative of the prose and verse of this
volume, we may speak in terms of deserved praise,
especially of the ingenious device of the little
groupes of figures round them, " each of which,"
as the Editor observes in his preface, " illustrates
t)ine point of the story, and is so arranged as to
form a framework round the centre figures."
