LAND SHARKS AND SEA GULLS, BY CAPTAIN
GLASCOCK, R. N. ; WITH ILLUSTRATIONS By Gar ROE CRUIK-
stiANR. -.4 This new novel," says the SpectWor, is one of
the best of this anther's works, and extaiF.cs all his character-
istics in a high degree. Many of th... scenes are distinguished
r much ludicrous interest, itte characters very often for a
high degree of vraisentlplin:ce and force, though bordering upon
caricature, especially where the peculiar ideas of a calling or
eeuntry superadded their markings to a strong natural
lai.-Jsyneracy—as in the case of the two Irishmen living by
their wits, alai the diff..rent persons on ship-board, from the
stupid finical M. P. captain, whose vessel was always kept on
Channel service, that the Minister might have the benefit of
his vote, and whose chief conversation on board was about
Parliamentary speeches never to be made, through the officers
and crew, down to the black steward. We think, too, the
author has shown greater delicacy of pencilling in some of his
quieter scenes than he had before di'played. The novel con-
gists of four books. Th., first tells the story of the run-away
match, pi eparing the reader for the beginning of the distress,
and introduce 3 him to many of the characters The second
book thickens the misery, till a supposed young widow is in-
du, el to marry Counselier Waddy, to preserve herself and.
infant son from starving. The third and fourth books show
us th's 'Fon at sea, and eventually conduct through many adven-
tures to the winding up of the plot. The nautical part is far
the Le3t."

DUTY AND INCLINATION. This delightful
novel, which belongs to the truly English school of Min
Austen, is ushered into the world by the popular and attrac-
tive pen of Miss Landon; and it bears evident traces of t: ay.
ing, passed under her practised and cultivated hand. Its nd-
n.irable object is that of teaching the moms of confining " to.
clination" within the limits of " Duty"--and this is so
charmingly worked out by the agency of such a variety of
amusing materials, that all noverreaders, and especially all
female ones, will find the perusal of it no less a matter ot
" Inclination" than of " Duty.'

ing, and said, if any of the seal species were sick, it would be
just as wise for a fish physician to order them to go ashore,
Porson declared that sea.bathing was only reckoned healthy
because many pet sees have been known to survive it. But
