BOW-STREET.-(THIS DAY.)

Mary Jones was sent to hard labour for one month on a charge of
stealing dell from a stand in Clare-court, which was in the care of a

little girl, who instantly gave information to her brother of the theft,
and the prisoner was captured with the articles in her possession only a
few yards from the door.
Eliza Macarthey, a notorious smasher, was ordered to be remanded
till Monday next, to be identified by the officers of the Mint, on a
charge of attempting to pass a counterfeit half.crown upon Mrs. Mary
Donnellan for drink which had been supplied to her at the Grapes
public-house, Little Earl-street, Seven Dials. There was a man in
company with the prisoner at the time the uttering took place, hut he
thought it the better way to escape than to hazard an examination.

DAMASCUS AND PALMYRA, A JOURNEY TO
THE EAST; WITH A SKETCH OF THE STATE AND PROSPECTS
OP STRIA UNDER IBRAHIM PASHA. By C. G. ADDISON, ESQ.,
OF THE INNER Taxiren.—Of all the grand and mysterious re-
mains of antiquity, not even excepting those of Thebes, none
are so marvellous and exciting to the imagination as the ruins
of Palmyra, the once magnificent city of the Syrian desert,
and capital of the Oriental world. Attractive, however, as
are these splendid monuments of ancient greatness, few modern
travellers have had the hardihood to visit them. They are
remote from tile habitable world—the path to them lies across
the burning and toilsome desert, and the Bedouin Arabs are
not always safe guides or companions. But disregarding all
difficulties and dangers, tile present writer has journeyed to
the spot, resided there, and made copious notes of the wonders
by which he was surrounded. His description of the place is
accordingly the host and most minute yet given to the European
reader. The other portions of Mr. Addison's book, such as
those which treat of Damascus, Turkey, and Greece, and of
tile state and prospects of Syria under Ibrahim Pasha, are
worthy of deep attention.—We cordially recommend these vo-
lumes to general perusal.—Naual and Military Gazette.
ROYSTON GOWER; OR, THE DAIS OF KING
JOIN. By Thomas Miller, Author of " A Day in the Woods."
We should hope we have but few readers who will not con-
trive to read this extraordinary production, the work of one of
the million ; but, in conception, embodiment, and execution,
fit to stand the severest test criticism can apply to it. It is a
legitimate romance of the school of Scott, and is fraught with
all the interest a brilliant narration of startling deeds, and the
graphic portraiture of the most conspicuous characters in a ro-
mantic age can impart
to it. The achievements of Robin
Hood and his daring fellows in Sherwood Forest, form tile
leading incidents. King John, Langton, the emissaries of
the Pope, the turbulent barons, ladies, knights, and squires,
and all the concomitants of feudal grandeur and barbaric
pomp, are brought in with masterly skill, and made to contri-
bute to the filling up of one of the most interesting plots in
modern fiction. We have no hesitation in asserting that Mr.
Miller's book will create a sensation in the reading circles un-
known since the publication of " Ivanhoe. " Weekly Chronicle,
MEMOIRS OF HOLT, THE CELEBRATED IRISH
REBEL GENERAL.—This extraordinary autobiography is a
romance of real life- The hero's adventures arc as remarkable
as any to be met with in the most approved fiction; of other
days, with the additional attraction of truth, to rivet the atten-
tion and excite the interest of their readers. We have seldom
perused memoirs more interesting or more instruetiye, and we
stronglyourliterary
tt recommendrary
a pcfnsal of this admirable publication to
all friends.
We sincerely compliment the editor
and puiilisher on the utility of the production they have is-
sued. If books lase this were more frequently sent forth tithe world we venture to prophesy that publisher, author, and
audielice with the ape-

the coaches have plied regularly, and never lost a trip.

Immense masses of floating ice are still encountered
by the steam packets on the French and Flemish coasts, and
it has been with great difficulty that they could make their
way through it. Some of them have had the copper rubbed
off their bottoms in consequence.—Dover Chronicle.
In consequence of the gradual rise on the price of
wheat for several weeks past, the bakers, who have been re-
tailing the 41b. loaf at 7d., have found it necesiary to raise
the price to id. ready money, and Sd. credit, above a month.

Medical men state that innumerable complaints to
s•liich persons are subject during the winter are not the etfccts
the cold, but are produced by the use of stoves, the heat
of which it is difficult to regulate. The air of a room in
which a stove is used becomes at length completely dry, unless
care be taken to keep up the supply of moisture by havin,
constantly in the room a vessel filled with water. From then
air becoming dry, the cells of the lungs become ultimately
deprived of their necessary fluid, the skin of the face and
hands become heated, and head-ache ensues.— Gulignani's
