The effect produced on the town by the publication
of a novel, called " Sydenham," will long be remembered.
In this work the absurdities of modern society, and the
eccentricities of modern characters, were laughed out of
countenance in a tranchant style. Beau Brummel figured
deliciously ; and the early life of Brougham, the maturity of
Canning, and the declining days of Sheridan, were displayed
in a most penetrating vein of satire. The talents of the
author of this remarkable fiction have lately slept ; but
the public will be glad to hear that he is, about to issue
from his retirement, and to produce a new novel, to be
called " Lionel Wakefield ; or, the Life of an Adventurer."
On Saturday last, a dinner was given to Mr. Forrest,
at the Garrick Club, at which Mr. Sergeant Talfourd pre-
sided. Amongst those who honoured Mr. Forrest by the
invitation, were his great rivals in the art which he pro-
fesses—Mr. Charles Kemble and Mr. Macready.
It is rumoured that the little work which has just
appeared, entitled " The Floral Telegraph," is from the
pen of Captain Marryat. The idea is a very ingenious
one, and may very naturally be supposed to have suggested
itself to an active and inventive mind like that of the
Captain's. It is perhaps not generally known that the
code of Naval Signals in use in the Merchant Service is his,
and " The Floral Telegraph" is a beautiful adaptation of
the same principle to communications by Flowers, suscepti-
ble of endless variety, yet perfectly unintelligible except to
the initiated.
There is such a strong rumour of Parliament meeting
a month earlier than usual next Session, that several of the
Nobility's Christmas parties are now assembling ; while
many families are staying temporarily at the watering place 3
instead of keeping house in the country for a short period,
MEMORIALS OF MRS. HEMANS.—This inte-
resting work, which has just appeared, is written in an ex-
cellent spirit.. Mr. Chorley has introduced Mrs. Hemans
to us in a new light—all the reading world knew that she
was a writer from whom to model—he tells the reflecting
world that she was a Christian, whose example was one to
follow.
