Kate Vernon : A Talc. Three vols. Newby.
This is a very interesting story. The commence-
ment does not promise so favourably ; it is mere
description ; but the two subsequent volumes fur-
nish material .for much pleasing writing. The
style is sowing and natural, and the people met
with are well sketched in all the varying shades
of mind and manners, from the stately old
Colonel to the garrulous nurse who had fol-
lowed the 'fallen fortunes of the family she
loved, from splendour to humble means, and
even at last to want and privation. The first part
is the reminiscences of a young officer, Captain.
Egerton, but after he goes to India the story is car-
ried on in the usual manner, and relates entirely
to Kate. She was very unfortunate in having no
friends or acquaintances in her own rank of life ;
her cousin, Lady Desmond, was in a much higher
scale, and of a totally different nature. The Win-
ters were, on the contrary, beneath her, so that
there was no one to sympathise with her and to
enter into her feelings. The picture of her arrival
in London is very well imagined. She left her
calm retreat, in a beautiful country village, for a
dingy lodging in the town, where she, unknown
and friendless, is about to exchange pleasant occu-
pations for toil and teaching. It is natural
teat such a change should affect a young and ardent
spirit. Then came the delays, the disappointments
that are so likely to happen in such cases, but
which the enthusiastic and inexperienced begin-
ner never reckons upon—one friend out of town,
another too busy to attend to-her, the third unable,
although Willing, to help. Above all, when she
did get a chance; the coming in contact with vulgar
gentility, which was far worse than being among
the really common who left her alone, or respected
her misfortune. Mrs. Potter was a great annoy-
ance with her pretensions and absurdities, but she
persevered for a time. A change came again, how-
ever, to darken more deeply her life. Her beloved
grandfather, who had been drooping since they came
to town, became ill, and after a short time died. A
melancholy time was that for• Kate as she watched
the gradual decay of her dear grandfather. A
few evenings before his death he asked her to bring
in his old faithful hound Cormac. As Rate, how-
ever, sat gazing at the two in the twilight, a gloomy
presentiment seized her that the worst was at hand.
The Colonel gazed abstractedly, "as if his spirit
had flown back to the scenes and time when be was
still vigorous, and Cormac gambolled with all the
vivacity of youth. Now the old hound sat grave
and still, and Kate suppressed the deep sighs
which rose from her heart, as she saw those old
companions, side by side, thus changed, thus sink-
ing in the unequal conflict with time and adver-
sity, and behind them memory raised the
dark curtain of the present, and the bright
happy past broke forth with more than
its pristine freshness. She saw those languid
forms, instinct with life, glowing with animation."
After this awful catastrophe a new phase in the
heroine's life is introduced. The cousin returned,
and took her .to live with her ; but it was no im-
provement in her condition, for a life of splendour
in dependence and supposed obligation was far
more trying to the spirit than the real labour Kate
had before been engaged in. To add to other
troubles Georgina Desmond was vain and jealous.
She had been a beauty, and was still greatly ad-
mired, but Kate Vernon was then in all the fresh-
ness of youth, and that irritated her cousin with-
out her acknowledging it to herself. Many pain-
ful scenes ended in a mutual determination to
separate. Kate returned to London, and after some
time took a situation as companion to an old lady.
Here her days passed wretchedly, and it was with a
sensation of inexpressible relief to her when the
Winters returned from Italy. A brighter prospect
was now before her, as on their arrival they imme-
diately took her away from her uncongenial place
of abode, and she for a time was to reside with
them. However, she was not destined to be their
guest, for on their reaching London they were
juined by Colonel Egerton, as he had now become
after a successful course in India. His horror may
be imagined on finding how many misfortunes had
befallen Kate in his absence. After following her
through so many troubles, and seeing her so worn
out with toil and care, which were not her natural
or expected lot, it is gratifying to leave her at last
in prosperity. By the death of his brother, Eger-
ton became a Viscount, and repossessed Kate of
the Dungar property, Colonel Vernons, in Ire-
land. Winter, on hearing the news, exclaimed—
" So the wheel goes round, but it is not every day
it brings up, sparkling over the dull surface of so-
ciety, as bright and pure a gem as Kate Vernon."

Lights and Shadows of Australian Life. By Mrs.
Charles Olaty, author of " A Lady's Visit to the
Gold J)iggiugs." 2 vols. Hurst and Blackett.

(. These volumes are •not exactly what one would
conclude them to be from their title, and oiler
more attractions to the lovero romance than to
the seeker of information. TheyA r e the work of
a lady who has Already given us her impressions of
the country in an account of her visit to the gold
diggings. The present work consists of a series of
very interesting tales, in which the clief features
.-)f a settler's hie are shown. The authoress informs
us that they are all founded on fact., most of them
Laving come under her personal knowledge. This
renders them more striking to thop who desire tc.
form some idea of colonial life as it really is, which,
of course, one who has tried it must be well able to
describe. One of the longest stories is entitled
" Mikka," and relates to the aborigines, who are
sometimes troublesome neighbours to the solitary
settler. A proof that they are not naturally inca-
pable of improvement is afforded by `the heroine
of this tale, au aboriginal girl, who was adopted by
a settler's family, and afterwards displayed much
gratitude and self-sacrifice. The bushrangers are
another danger to the lonely and unprotected
dwelling. Several tragedies are told in the course
of these narratives, as they are mostly desperate
characters, and, if not overpowered, murderall the
inhabitants. The gold diggings occupy, of course,
a prominent feature. In one story, entitled
" Going without a Dinner and its Consequences," a
poor digger's wife, just as they had become penni-
less, discovers a lump of gold. Such changes of
fortune are not rare in the gold district. ' Some of
the tales relate the unexpected meetings of friends
or relations in the far-off country, who had aban-
doned the hope of seeing each other again. The
authoress asserts in • her preface that she does not
attempt to compete with the many clever and volu-
minous works which have appeared on this subject,
her object being to afford amusement, and to those
who have friends in the cotuitry.some hints to intend-
ing emigrants. If not the first to describe to us the
ordinary features of the country and the inhabi-
tants, Mrs. Clacy may at least claim the distinc-
tion of having lent to the. scenes of that distant
laud something of the -interest of home, and of
having invested the prosaic and practical life of
log-huts and gold digging with the brilliant colours
of romance. .To the class of readers we have named
the work will be specially attractive, but the ordi-
nary novel reader will find that these simple nar-
ratives of every-day life are more likely to amuse
and occupy an idle hour than many more ambitious
works, possessing as they do the charm of truth
with the fascination of fiction.

A fine iron paddle-wheel steam-ship, having her engine
of 450 horse power on board with the paddle-wheels and
floats adjusted ready fur use, was launched on Saturday at
ten minutes put three o'clock p.m. in the presence of
Captain George B. Martin, C. 8., superintendent of Dept-
ford dock and victualling yards, Mr. Yearn, master-atten-
dant and harbour master, and Mr. Chatfield, master ship-
wright of Deptford dockyard, and a number of spectators,
who had assembled to witness the launch, owing to her
having been built by Messrs. John Scott Russell and Cu.,
London, under circumstances of great inter
from her being entirely owned by a Colonial company, for
service between Sydney, Melbourne and Adelaide, and
that she is expected to prove the fastest vessel afloat, her
lines being admirably adapted for great speed.
Tho ceremony of naming the ship was performed by Miss

at the same time, success to the Pacific. Her dimen-

viduals in Sydney and Melbourne, who, at the su,ggestion
of Captain W. C. Thompson, have formed themselves into
a company, designated "The Sydney and Melbourne Steam.
Packet Company." The company have already purchased
four fine steamers to run between Sydney, Melbourne, and
Adelaide, and they empowered Captain Thompson to build
for them the splendid steamer launched at Messrs. John

circumstances on Saturday last.
The colony of Australia is rising into importance at a

Frigate La Forte, 60 cannons, bearing the flag of
Rear-Admiral Fevrier des Pointes.
Frigate L'Euridice, 32 cannons.
Corvette L'Artemise, 30 cannons.
Brig L'Ogligado, 16 cannons.
The Polynesian says :
This fine squadron is from Callao, via Nukuhiva, one
of the Marquesas Islands, and was but 14 days in mak-
ing the passage from the latter port. They are, of course,
looking for the Russians, but the Russians are some-
where else just now, and they must be hunted up if pos-
sible, when warm work will of course take place.
Our last issue had just been circulated, when her Bri-
tannic Majesty's frigate Pique, Capt. Sir F. Nicholson,
of 40 guns, arrived, and thus the number of vessels
comprising the squadron were equalised—Four English
and four French, and bringing up the number of guns to
120 English to 138 French, while the steamer with her
very heavy armament renders the two divisions of about
equal efficiency.
All these ♦essels at anchor outside made a most im-
posing appearance for this part of the world, and one
never before witnessed at the islands. During► the stay
of these ♦essels they have been busily employed water-
ing and taking in supplies, of which the French ships
required more than the English ; and our wharves and
streets have presented quite an animated contrast to the
usual dulness at the month of July.
On Tuesday morning (24th July), at ten o'clock, the
squadron took their anchors, and stood off to the south-
west, but when hull down, altered their course to the
west, which course they were steering when they passed
out of sight, the Virago leading.
The destination of the squadron is not publicly
known. From intelligence recently received' from San
Francisco, that despatches were there awaiting the
French admiral, and that he was soon expected, it has
been surmised that the squadron may look into that
part ; others again suppose that they are bound north to
the Russian possessions on the Asiatic continent, in
quest of the Russian ♦essels supposed to be cruising in
that vicinity. However this may be, and whatever
their destination, of this we feel assured, that from the
efficiency of the squadron, and the character of the
officers in command, if an opportunity presents, some
brilliant achievements will be performed during the cruise
on which this squadron has now entered. But tune
alone can determine the result.

As intimated in our last, his Majesty availed himself
of the offer of the Virago, by Admirals Price and Des
Pointes, and on Saturday, at 11, embarked with her
Majesty the Queen, Princes Lohoilho and Kamehameha,
Princess Victoria, the Kuhina Nui, Ministers of State,
members of the Privy Council and of the house of
Nobles, &c., &c. The representatives of Great Britain,
Prance, and the United States, and a large company
of ladies and gentlemen of Honolulu were also on board,
ya of eyvehroyth
which gave the whole excursion a sociable and agreeable
character.
Sgth_e -Virago passed out among the squadron, the
ship were rearmed, and his Majesty was
saluted ls
and again, on returning, admirals'
ships at the same moment ;
the yards were again manned,
and every honour rnai.ng,

His dress is precise in the extreme. His white necker-
chief would not have disgraced Brurnmel, the beau ; and
his silk waistcoat wrapping round his throat is irre-
proachable. He is reported to fast twice in the week.
He is pale, interesting, and cadaverous, and an object of
respectful admiration with young ladies of a sentimental
turn and a medimval taste. He has reflected on the Church,
as an abstraction, much as he has studied "The Republic"
of Plato ; and, after having modelled something very
beautiful in his imagination, he brings it with him in
his parish. He has mixed little in general society. He
has lived among books, and associated exclusively with
his own clique of fellow-students ; and, after dreaming
on his fellowship several years, within the walls of a
college, he enters upon his ministerial duties, knowing
as much about the character of an English population as
he does about the people of Tirnbuctoo. He finds every-
thing miserably out of order in his church and district,
and regarding men's opinions and feelings as very
trifles, when weighed with his theory, he sets about
changing the whole parochial system as there existing.
He dresses his choristers in white; he intones the service;
he preaches in his surplice ; he indoctrinates his hearers
with the true notion of a church ; and thus he goes on
from week to week, intoning the prayers most unmesi.
cally, preaching up his abstract church most unintelligi-
bly, and recommending most whimsically fasts as a duty
on those to whom they are too often a necessity. He is
—suppose—in a manufacturing district, where love of
music and hatred of Popery are almost innate. The peo-
ple say he has little more music in him than a donkey,
and no more doctrine than a Papist. He sees no harm in
the Pope and Cardinal Wiseman spreading over England
theirhierarchical net ; and men of moderate comprehension
only discover in this a sympathy with the Papacy. He
signs a protest against the proceedings of Bishop Gobat,
who is willing to admit within his communion members
of the Greek Church, and in this unsophisticated man
men can only see an aversion from Protestantism. Thu 4
lie rewards his people as so many Goths, and they re-
gard him as but one remove from an idiot or a Roman
priest. The breach widens ; "No surrender" is the
motto of our hero of the church militant, and in a ♦ery
short time he has to propound his abstruse theories of a
church to the verger, the choristers, and three old
women to whom lie distributes alms.—. Fraser's Maga-
zine.

Witness—l do not remember it. I was present all
the time Emma White was there, excepting that I went
down stairs for a short time to fetch something for the
deceased, and some conversation might have passed.
The Coroner now said that he was ready to hear the
evidence of the officers if Mr. Hoskins was prepared to
produce them.
Frederick Knight, lieutenant of marines on board the
Dauntless, was then examined—His evidence was to the
effect that one of the girls had asked him to take them
to the ship to see Lieut. Seymour, and he did so, though
for some reason, when they got on board, they did not
seem to wish to see him. Lieutenant Elphinstone. the
2d lieutenant, was the officer in command of the ship at
the time. The Ist lieutenant was on shore. Deceased
asked fur brandy, and became intoxicated, and slipped
off her chair. Lieutenant Elphinstone ordered them
out of the ship, and sent a sergeant and a file of men to
carry out deceased. Witness spoke to Lieutenant El-
phinstone, and she was allowed to remain. Witness
laid down on the table and slept. till he heard a noise,
and went into his cabin with the steward, where de-
ceased was lying on the floor. Helped her into bed, and
then slept again, till she was sent on shore.
By the Court—The officers in the ward-room, whilst.
they were in my cabin, were Lieutenant Elphinstene,
Lieutenant Woodman, Mr. Grant, Mr. Roche, Mr.
Jervis, and myself. 1 did not see the chaplain there.
The first lieutenant returned on board before two o'clock,
but he did not interfere. I did not hear any groans on
board, neither did I hear any screams. I heard a noise
in the cabin,,but I thought she was ill and the assistant-
surgeon was Rent for. When she left the ship her hair
was down and her breast open by command of the doctor.
I saw no quarrel ou board between any two officers. I
only recollect seeing her dancing round the table, and
threatening to throw something at one of the officers.
Lieut. Seymour, of the Colossus, a gueet o❑ board the
Victoria hulk, gave similar evidence, and said deceased
was treated with the greatest kindutai. Did not believe
there was a drunken officer on board.

FOOD STATISTICS IN THE WEST.- —ThIS is th 3 season
of the year at which most of the unions in Devon and
: S )inerset enter into contracts for the supply of provisions
during the next half-year, and the prices which are ac-
cepted for the various articles of food in those two coun-
ties may form some guide as to the real state of the pro-
' vision market. In the Bridgewater union the guardians
have wisely limited the period of the contract for bread to
a quarter of a year instead of a half, and the tenders for
that time have just been accepted as follows : --Bread
(white and brown), 4s. 91d. per dozen ; and flour, 11.
19s. 11d, per sack, The other tenders that were not
accepted were, bread (white) 4s 11(1; brown 5s 4d; flour
21. to 21. ls. per sack. Butchers' meat, such as beef
and mutton, were accepted at sd. and sid; per lb.
At Plymouth the bakers on Wednesday raised the
price of the 81h. loaf one penny, making it ls. 2d.
The guardians of the union, at their meeting to accept
tenders, consequently declined to do so until they per-
ceived a reduction. Beef was contracted for at 525. per
cwt., and mutton at 6d. per lb. At Southmolton, in
the North of Devon, the guardians accepted seconds
flour at 368., and fine ditto at 375. 6d. per sack, while
beef was contracted for at 44d., and mutton at sfd. per
lb. At Totnes last week bread was accepted by the
guardians at from sd. to Gd. per 41b. loaf, and flour,
375. per sack. Tenders for beef were received at from
sd. to 6d. per lb., and mutton at Sad. It will be seen
from the above figures that the prices for the necessaries
of life vary very little throughout these two counties.

The Pacific will proceed to Australia under steam and
sail; and there can be no doubt of her carrying on a pros-
Porous trade in a part of the world which has proved of
great importance to the mother country, and bids fair to
be one of the brightest gems of the British crown, as it is
.peopled with loyal iahabitunts, whose enterprise, intelli_
fence, and good judgment enables them to proceed onwards
is A Manner which reflects great credit upon them for tkeir

Lieut. Jervis, of the Dauntless, was awoke by the
cries of some - person, and on entering Lieut. Knight's
cabin found a woman on his bed, crying and shieekiiig
out in pain. Got some brandy and water and moi,tened
her lips. Then sat up reading until she became inure
quiet. Then returned to his cabin, and tried to go to
sleep, but her shrieks and throes prevented his sleeping.
Again went to see bow she was. This lasted four hours.
She fell off Mr. Knight's bed.
Assistant-Surgeon Roche saw no injury or violence
offered to deceased all the time she was on board.
`rent to bed at half-past two, leaving Mr. Knight and
the steward in the wardroom. Deceased was in Knight's
bed. Deceased, after drinking some time, commenced
screaming, and Mr. Seymour, who was acquainted with
her, said she was in the habit of going into hysterics
when drunk. After screaming for some time she be-
came insensible, Willem when roused up, and was put
into Mr. Knight's bed.
Henry Cater, Esq., surgeon, of Portsea, described
the external appearance on a post mortem examination.
They were not of a serious character. The internal
appearances were—On removing the sternum, the con-
tents of the chest healthy ; that was carefully examined.
We then examined the abdomen. The stomach and in-
testines much distended, but no appearauceof inflani.

KINILWORTH.—The world cared little for Kenilworth
and its misty history till Scott re-peopled the ruins,
without the strictest regard to truth, and awakened in
us a human interest. The mass of the ruin has not
much architectural beauty ; the remnant of the Norman
Geoffrey de Clinton's portion of the structure, from some
unexplained cause, gives more pleasure to the eye than
the more perfect parts of later date ; the whole, how-
ever, forms a very picturesque ruin, seen as you approach
from the great gateway ; and you may revive, by the
mind's eye, the great tourney of Edward I. and the
"Round Table," or the reception of Queen Elizabeth
by Leicester, whose true effigies you may see at War-
wick. There is a curious account of the entertain-
ment 'unto "the Queen's Majestiez, at Kiillinwoorth
Castle," written by one Laneham at the time, who, to
describe the gay appearance of the castle, says it was
"a day time on every side so glittering by glasses, a
night by continual brightness of candel, fyre, and torch-
light, transparent thro' lyghts on wyndoz, az it wear the
Egyption Pharos, relucent unto all the Alexandrian
coast ; or els (to talke merily with my mery friend),
thus radiaunt, az though Phcebus for his eaz would rest
him in the Castle, and not every night, so to travel dooun
unto the Antipodes." And the Coventry men came aid
acted one of their plays, too. Kenilworth Church, hard
by, has a very interesting Norman west doorway, unfor-
tunately much decayed. A little attention to it at this-
moment by way of pointing and supporting is very de-
likable...4TM Builder.
