" LOVE ; ♦ NOVEL." BY LADY CHARLOTTE
BURY. The youthful, the impassioned, and the enthusiastic
will be greatly interested in this story. Let the reader con-
ceive a woman in the rich and matured blaom of loveliness,
and a girl (bur daughter) in the fresh and fair bud of the like
beluty—each fetling fur the other that peculiar affection
which nothing but that relationship can excite or even com-
prehend ;—yet both loving, with all the devotedness of hearts
formed in the same mould of passion, the same individual of
the other sex I The extrome ddliqulty of treating such a
subject, with due regard to the fastidious delicacy of the age
in which we live, and the extraordinary success with which
this difficulty has been encountered and overcome, can only be
appreciated by a perusal of the work itself.
LORD PEMBROKE THE HUMOTJRIST.----Of all
the Mede-and- Persian laws, established in his house, the most
peremptory was, that any servant who got drunk should ba
instantly dich,irg,ed—na pardon granted, no excuse listened
to. Yet an old footman, who had lived with him many years,
would sametitces indulge in a pot of ale extraordinary, trust-
ing to thc wilful blindness which he saw assumed when conve-
nient. One fatal (lay even this could not avail. As my Lord
crossed the hal", John appeared in full—not rather tipsey, or a
little disguised, but dead drunk, wed unable to stand. Lord
P. went up to him. "My poor fellow, what ails you?—you
seem dreadfully ill ; let me feel your pulse. God bless us !
he is in a raging fever I Get him to bed, and send for the
apotheeary." The apothecary came—not to be consulted, for
his Lordship was physician-general in his own family—to obey
orders, to bleed the patient copioualy, clap a large blister os
his baak, aud give him a powerful dose of physic. After a few
days of this treatment, when the fellow emerged weak and wan
as the severe-t illness could have left him, " Huh, honest John,"
cried the master, "1 ant truly glad to see you alive : you have
had a wonderful escape, though, and ought to be thank-
ful—very thankful, iadeed. Why, man, if I had not passed
by anti spied the condition you were in, you would have been
dead before flaw. But, John, John," lifting up his finger,
" no score of these fevers I"

A New York emigrant haring, soon after his ar-
rival, written to his friends in Eng'mid a favourable account of
his voyage and reception, being afterwards accused of giving
tlinni too favourable a colouring, replied, " Oh, if we were to
tell how bad it is, nobody would corrie at all."

TRANSPORTATION.—A notion prevails among the
lower orders who supply our gaols with the bulk of their in-
mates, that the condition of the transported felon is one of
comparative happiness. To disabuse such of the grievous
error by which they are almost encouraged in a career of crime,
we extract the fellowing from the speech of Sir William Moles-
worth in the House of Commons on Friday week. Condemn-
iag appointment of Colonel Arthur as Covet nor of Canada.
he said, that he " had carefully studied the conduct of Colonel
Arthur whilst that gentleman was Governor of Van Diemen's
Land, from having examined Colonel Arthur himself, and
from his dispatches to the Colonial Office, which were laid
before the Transportation Committee of last tear, of which
he ( Sir William Molez4vorth) had the honour to have been
Chairman. From that evidence it appeared that. during the
last twelve years Colonel Arthur had possessed despotic powers
for the sole purpose of framing a system of atrocious and un-
heard-of cruelty, such as stood unparalleled in the annals of
nations ; his sole object was to inflict pain—intense pain—to
render the condition of the convict most wretched and degraded
—to make Van Diemen's Land what it now was, a hell upon
earth—a fitting abode for the criminals, whom he by his tor-
tures converted into still worser fiends."

M. Arago has received a letter from Mr. Pentland
in which he states that during the most violea tempests ex-
perienced by the Stay frigate, in doubling Cape Horn, he
never found the waves run twenty English feet above the mean
level of the sea.—Railway Magazine.

An act of justice and mercy has been lately ob-
tained by the French Government from that of China, for the
relations of a number of unfortunate men who 104 their lives
upon the Chinese toast. It appears that so long ago as 1627,
a vessel sailed from Bourdoaux, destined for Manilla and Can-
ton, but which, by stress of weather, was driven to take shelter
at Touron, a port of Cochin China. Here, upon examination,
it was found that the vessel was not in a condition again to go
to sea. Fourteen of the crew, hoping to find employment in
in some other vessels, embarked in a Chinese junk which was
going to Canton. Upon the passage the Chinese murdered
their passengers, and after stripping, threw their bodies into
the sea. Of the 14 only one was spared, on account of his
youth ; he was a cabin-boy named Mangeopan, from a port of
Villafranca, near Nice. Upon reaching Canton, this boy in-
formed the authorities of what had taken place, and the
Chinese boatmen were arrested, tried, and punished. For a
long time, however, the relations of the unfortunate French
sailors were left in ignorance of their fate, and suffering from
their absence. At length the matter was brought to the atten-
tion of the Government, who have acted upon in with grist vi-
4•our, for in consequence of the representations of the Ministers
for Foreign Affairs and of the Marine, a sum of 78,000 f. has
been obtained from the Chinese Government, which is to be
shared amongst the families and relations of the murdered sea-
men. —French Paper.
NARROW ESCAPE 07 LORD ADOLPHUS FITZ-
cLARENcE.---On Wednesday evening, between six and seven
o'clock, an accident which might be attended with serious per-
sonal injury to Lord Adolphus Fitzclarence took place in
Marylebone lane. It appears that his Lordship was proceed-
ing in his cabriolet from Wigniore-street, Cavendish-square,
towards Oxford-street, when, just as he was passing by Hen-
rietta-street at a quick pace, a horse and cart belonging to a
milkman, named Linton, living in Allsop-place, New-road,
turned sharply round the corner, in consequence of which the
near shaft of the latter vehicle came in violent contact with
the chest of his Lordship's horse, which it entered to so great
a depth as to kill the animal on the spot. His Lordship, who
by the concussion was nearly precipitated from his seat to the
ground, alighted and hastened to the adjacent station-house,
where he related to the inspector the particulars of the occur-
rence, at the same time expressing an opinion that the driver
of the cart was not to blame. The horse, which was of a
chesnut colour, and thorough-bred, was worth upwards of 300
guineas.

THE CHAIR OF NAPOLEON._When the late
Mr. Huekisson was in office he was presented with the chair
which the exiled Napoleon usually occupied during his sojourn
at Longwood. This relic Mr. Huskisson appeared to set a
great value on, and a place was appropriated for it in his
library. He had also a small brass plate affixed to the chair,
on which the period when it was presented to him, and come
other particulars were engraved; to which the following lines
from Lord Byron's " Ode to Napoleon" were added
" Nor till thy fall could mortals guess
Ambition's less than nothingness."
At the moment, agitated as I was, I could not help
thinking of a joke of Wells's own, in which he once suggested,
in the case of a quarrel between two bishops, the propriety of their
going out to settle their difference with a brace of minor canons.
--Gilbert Gurney—New Monthly.
On the 26th December a fatal accident occurred to
son of Mr. Miller, of Brightling, Sussex, who was nut shoot-
with a friend, when his friend's gun accidentally exploded,
and the shot lacerating the bowels of Miller, he expired in th•
most excruciating agonies.—Maidstone Gazette.
On Wednesday night sonic thieves broke into th.,"
houses of the Rev. E. Turner, Joseph Hill, and Thomas
Dray. all of Maresfield, and stole cash, plate, and other pro-
perty to a considerable amount. The burgiars have eselped
detection.—Brighton Goardiun.

Temple, in his << lo:eent "Gravels in Peru," states
that he shot a coutlir, an,l , from notes taken on the spot, rive
us the following, dimensions of its size:.—r' When the wings
are spread they measure 40 feet in extent, from point to point ;
the feathers are 20 feet in length, and the quid part eight
inches its circumference." This almost realizes the tabled roc
of Sinbad " The Arabian Nights;" but its dimensiens, as
here given, test on gold and very recent authority.—Bar-
badoes Mercury.
