ELIZA COOK'S JOURNAL.

Last month we greeted the first weekly number of
this new journal, and now the first monthly part is
before us. We are glad to find that our expectations
have in this, instance been more than realised—they
have been exceeded. Eliza Cock has evinced consi-
derable tact and judgment, two very necessary quali-
ties for a magazine editor, in the choice and arrange-
ment of the materials of her journal. The monthly
part contains three poems and three prose contribu-
tions by the accomplished editress, which of them-
selves are sufficient to recommend the work to her
very numerous admirers. Without entering into a
particular criticism of the various paperscon-
tained in this new magazine, let us briefly
commend the spirit which animates them all
The genial sympathy, the hearty kindliness, the
unaffected cheerfulness, aed the honest indepen-
dence which is visible in every page, and almost in
every line of this new journal is only what we ex-
pected, for it is her constant expression of such sen-
timents in her beautiful and heart-inspired poems
that has rendered Eliza Cook so great a favourite
with ourselves, and with all who love Nature better
than Fashion, and prefer feeling to affectation. We
can only with the monthly journal the same success
we are glad, but in no way surprised, to find that the
weekly series has already met with.

GILBERTS MODERN ATLAS OF TIC
WORLD. Large 4to. H. G. Collins, Pater-

nosier row.

Some time since we noticed the publication of this
very valuable work, and have now the pleasure of
bringing it again under the attention of our
readers, a copy of the re-issue with all its amendments
having lately reached us. On the former occasion we
spoke of the felicity of the conception and the beauty
of the maps, as well as the philosophical views of the
several countries which were writren by the late Mr.
Mudie, and now we have an equal pleasure in giving
our hearty commendation to a work unequalled in its
execution by any of its sise within our knowledge.
The maps are beautifully got up; all the new politi-
cal boundaries seem to be carefully laid down, and
the list of towns with their longitudes and latitudes
has, we are assured, been extended and carefully su-
pervised. The work has this great advantage also,
that whilst simple enough in its dimensions and
details for the student, it is not too large to be con-
veniently handled, and the paper is of that beautiful
cream tint which Baskerville so much desired—
pleasing without fatiguing the eye whilst looking at
so many particulars in a small space. We are glad
to hear that the work has sold well, and sincerely
hope that its new merits may obtain for it the ad-
ditional success which it so richly deserves.

PRINCESS'S THEATRE.—Mademoiselle Issaurat,
stated to be from the Grand Opera in Paris, madet
appearance on Saturday night in Auber's opera of
Crown Diamonds. The young lady. was very favourably
received. She has a nice-toned voice of mezzo soprano
quality, and sings with a great deal of intelligence and
feeling. Her execution is occasionally unfinished, and
nervousness at times rendered her intonation uncertain,
but on the whole her debut was highly promising. The
other characters in the opera were supported by Messrs.
Allan, Weiss, Delavanti, Rafter, and Mrs. Weiss. The
performance appeared to give general satisfaction, and
Mdlle. Issaurat was twice called before the curtain.
SOUTHAMPTON, SATURDAY.—The Royal Mail
Company's steam-ship Great Western, under the com-
mand of Captain J. FL Wolfe, with the usual West
India and Mexican mails, left the river this afternoon.
She took out a very large and valuable cargo of general
merchandise, and 35 passengers; amongst whom were
the Rev. Mr. Lynch and lady, Messrs. Hawkins, Horn-
castle, Wade, Berg, and Saborio. The Ocean, Steam
Navigation Company's steam-ship, Washington, Captain
Floyd, with the American mails, is expected on Mon-
day. The Peniet-ular Company's stram-ship Iberia,
Captain Burney, with the usual Peninsular mails, may
be looked for in the course of Monday. The Pecin-
sular and Oriental Compan)'s steam-ship Montrose,
Captain Bowen, with the mails for Spain, Portugal, and
Gibraltar, will leave on the:th inst.

HIDDEN TREASURE.—Some time since, a brig,
now called the Carleton, was purchased at a public sale
in the London Dock, by Mr. Scott, a hghterman for
7501. After undergoing some repairs at the New thane
Wharf, Wapping, the vessel put to sea under Captain
Bacon, who became part owner. She bad to put in at
Hartlepool, and whilst undergoing some repairs to the
interior part of the bulkhead, 16,000 Spanish dollars
were found secreted in a place purposely hollowed out
for the precious deposit. How or by whom it was
placed there it is impossible to tell. Captain Bacon's
first voyage in the Carleton proved a very successful
one. The vessel is said to hive been mined is •

GOODMAN V. POCOCK.

This was an action brought to recover money due for
service, and compensation for improper dismissal. It
was 6rst tried before Lord Denman. The plaintiff had
been engaged in January, 1847, and served until the
Bth of April, 1848, on which day he was dismissed
by defendant. The action before Lord Denman was
brought for salary up to the Bth of April, and
a compensation in damages for wrongful dismissal. The
special jury gave 50/. damages for the dismissal, and were
about to give him further damages, when Mr. Perters-
dorff said that the particulars of demand did not go
beyond the 23d January. Another action was brought,
which was tried before Mr. Justice Erle, when the jury
returned a verdict for 51. 17s. 6d.
. Mr. HUMERZY now applied for a rule to show cause
Why that verdict should not be increased by the sum of
431. ss. 9d.
The Court took time to consider.
