Mr. D'lsokEm.—We congratulate the author of
" Vivian Grey," on observing that his story of " Henri ..tta
Temple," which our female readers will, at least, pronounce
a charming one, has passed through the fiery ordeal of the
weekly critics. It is certainly one of the most entertaining
things, to observe the different feelings that are exhibited,
from various causes, towards a successful author, and which
can only be accounted for by those who are a little behind
the scenes in such matters. It not unfrequently happens,
however, as in the present case, that scenes anti characters,
that are in one journal called in question, are in another ex-:
hibited as the very perfection of the novelist's. art. - Such
undoubtedly are those in which figure Lady Belluir, Count
Mirabel, Lord C—; &c., &c.

RUNAWAY NEWSPAPERS. —On Saturday, . says
the Tyne Mercury, on the receipt of our London Journals,
n•e found the following Post-office notice attached to
them :—" Several newspapers having escaped from their
covers, if the right paper is not within those covers accom-
panying- this delivery, the mistake will bo rectified ou ap-
plying at the Post-office."

On Friday a serious disturbance took place at St.
Thomas's Hospital. In consequence of some misconduct
on the part of two students at a late operation at this hos-
pital, orders were given to admit no one in future without
a ticket. On Friday two persons were to undergo the
operation of lithotomy, and in order to prevent the intru-
sion of persons without tickets, two constables were placed
at the door. Several of the students from Guy's, how ever,
presented themselves, and endeavoured to force an en-
trance ; the officers succeeded in locking the doom, and
'kept them out for a time; but the students ultimately
smashed the pannels of the door, and made their way into
the theatre. At this period Mr. Travers arrived, and on
'king informed of the cause of the disturbance, severely
tectured the originators of it ; but as there still appeared a
.lisposition on the part of the offenders to be present of all
:lazards, the new police were sent for, and the operation
,vas postponed. Warrants have been issued against some
of the offending parties.
GOOD NEWS FOR LOVERS OF AMUSEMENT.--
The Editorship of the " New Monthly Magazine," is ap-
pears, has been undertaken by the witty author of " Sayings
and Doings," Mr. Theodore Hook, who will commence in
the January Number of that work, a series of sketches of
life and manners, entitled " The Gurney Papers."

On Tuesday Mr. T. Coleshill, of Cagebrook-mills,
was induced, from the badness of the night, to remain at
the London Apprentice Inn, at Abergavenny, where he had
been attending the market. He noticed in the place a tr.unp-
ing miller, who asked him for work, and complained of great
distress. Mr. Coleshill generously ordered some refreshment
to be given to the tramp, and put a few shillings into his
band, telling him to come up to the mills the next morning,
and he would find work for him. Mr. Coleshill went to
bed, and placed his trousers under his pillow. On risinr, in
the morning he found his trousers rem6ved, from the pocket
of which 491. bad been abstracted by the tramp, who about
2 o'clock in the morning had entered his room, stolen the
money, and decamped.—Hereford Journal.

The appalling wretchedness brought upon the rKmi-
lies of honest and ►ndustrious men by the refusal of medi-
cal aid in time of sickness, under the new Pool' Laws, is
sought to be palliated in - some degree by the formation of
societies in several parishes in this county ; which—by a
small quarterly payment, undertake to procure medical aid
in the time of sickness, and a trifling weekly allowance du-
ring the time of distress.—Lincolnshire Chronicle.

A gentleman, a stranger, asked a countryman, r. horn
he saw mending a road near Ross, " Where does this road
go to ?" The countryman replied, " I don't know, Zir ; I
finds it here when I comes to work in the morning, and I
leaves here at night ; but where it goes in the mean time I
don't know."—Worcester Journal.

On Saturday morning,. as two of the childre:i of
Mr. John Colenso, of Penzance, were playing under a loft
filled with grain, the floor fell in upon them, burying them
under the wheat. Immediate assistance was procured, but
when they were taken out, they were quite dead. The
eldest was nine, and the youngest five, years of age.—
West Briton.

It is advertised in the Paris papers of Thursday,
that the Vauxhall balloon (now called the " Royal Vaux-
hall Nassau balloon") will ascend an Monday next, with
from six to ten ladies and gentlemen, from the barracks
in the Rue du Faubourg Poissonniere. The names of the
ballocmatics are not mentioned, but Mr. Green is, of course,
to be of the party ; and it will be, according to the ad-
vertisement, his 227th ascent.
For bald people, " French brandy, dissolved with
sulphate of copper,' says a New York paper, "applied once
a day, will make your hair gro*." To this a Philadelphia
paper adds :--" And if the hair should grow too abundantly,
take a quart of French brandy a day, with a little sugar
and nutmeg, and it will come off again. Thus, brandy for
your baldness, and brandy for abundant hair.—American
Paper.

The provincials appear to be progressing towards a
degree of temperance that leaves the Londoners at an im-
measurable distance. Almost every country town now has
its tee-total association, the members of which pledge them-
selves to abstain from drinking all fermented liquors what-
ever. The following account of a meeting of one of these
societies appears in the Suffolk Chronicle :—" The New
British and Foreign Temperance Society. A Tea
Meeting was held at the Masonic Hall on Tuesday even-
ing at 5 o'clock, when upwards of one hundred persons sat
down to tea, and the good and happy feeling which per-
vaded the company proved that intoxicating drinks are not
essential to true comfort. A Public Meeting was held at
7 o'clock, at which Mr. Walker of Bungay presided ; and
to do that gentleman justice, we must say he appeared in
his element in the execution of the duty he so kindly con-
sented to perform. The speakers on the occasion shewed
and vindicated the objects of the society, and every well-
disposed person must of necessity acknowledge, that those
individuals at least mean well, and are aiming at the ge-
neral good of mankind. Twenty-six persons, who had
for some time previously acted on the principles of
the Society, signed pledges to abstain in More from
every kind of intoxicating drink—except for medical pur-
poses, and religious ordinances—and several retired from
the meeting purposing to try for themselves how far it is
practicable to conform to the pledge required by the New
Temperance Society.
