MRS. TROLLOPE'S " VICAR OF WREXIIILL.

—The Vicar of Wrexhill is a sort of English Tartuffe, a
canting, ranting, meek-eyed, mealy-mouthed, insinuating,
mischief-making hypocrite ; a dear evangelical deceiver, who
out of indifferent sinners (of the feminine gender), makes ex-
cellent saints, and out of the manufactured saints selects a few
favourites for little innocent Evangelical sinnings ; a wretch,
who to acquire wealth and authority for himself, habitually
prostitutes the holiest offices and influences of his ministry,
and outrages the best and purest feelings of the human heart.
All this, too, is done with an unction, a sensibility, a soft-
ness and an eloquence altogether evangelical and edifying. The
conception of this evangelical Lethario's character is consist-
ent, definite and powerful ; and the machinery of persons and
incidents by which the conception is wrought out and placed
in vitality before the reader is ingenious and effective. In
the delineation of the Reverend and saintly sinner's charac-
ter and career, Mrs. Trollope has lavished all her clever-
ness. The result is one of the most striking pictures of
which modern fiction can boast. The originals we should
hope are not numerous ; but it is good that the abuses of a
system, dangerous oven in the purest hands, should be thus
dramatically analysed and exposed.—Aforiting Post.
Last week, a lady who had monopolised rather more
of the commodity called man than the law allows, pail a
visit to Chelmsford, in company with her second lord,
and having entered the tap-room of a public-house in
Moulsham to taste of the mutton chops and strong ale
which there abound, she was most disagreeably surprised
by running her head against her old love—an awkward
operation when a person is on with the new. Quarrels,
broken heads, and homicides, followed, thinks the reader.
No such thing. The lady was very quietly claimed by the
first husband, who had been some years beyond the sound
of her tongue, and yielding to the power of the appeal, she
sent the second back to Braintree alone (from which he had
sallied on a money-making excursion,) looking anything but
a bright Green—and with a few of the porcupine quills of
disappointment stuck in his heart, to keep his blood from
stagnating in the sameness of single blessedness.—Eue-x
Herald.

E STOLEN ClllLD.—Yesterday Mr. and Mrs.
Gilson, of No. 8, Princes-street, whose infant was taken
from the arms of her sister on Friday afternoon last, by a
respectably dressed female, under the pretence of' purchasing
a dam and delivering a letter, made an application to the
Magistrates at Bow-street office for some of their officers
in endeavouring to trace their lost infant and the inhuman
wretch who, from information they hrai obtained, was seen
to enter a house in the neighbourhood after the child had
been missing. Their request was instantly complied with,
but after a search of some hours the officers returned to the
Magistrates and stated that all their exertions had proved
fruitless. It is painful to behold the situation of the mother
of the lost child, who is in a state bordering on distraction.
Additional confirmation has been obtained of the identity of
the female accused, who has been seen in and about the
neighbourhood for the last fortnight,
