In speaking of the new and fashionable novel
of "Pin Money," the Literary Gazette expresses itself in
the following terms :—" Keen in observation, lively in
detail, and with a peculiar and piquant style, Mrs. CHAS.
GORE gives to the novel that charm which makes the
fascination of the best French memoir writers. Her novels
are social biographies, only rather more amusing than real
life. She does in narrative what HORACF. Wat.n•or.r: did
in letters—embody the passing time with its follies and its
vanities, whence is drawn the bitter satire of wit, and the
bitter moral of truth."

ARRESTING THE DEAD.—A singular oc-
currence took place on Monday last in the Market-place,
Oldham. A person named TAYLOR attempted to arrest
the corpse of a young man for a debt of 101. The funeral
procession halted, and, during some altercation, the police
stepped in, and took the assailant (TAYLOR) into custody,
and consigned him to durance vile. The relatives of the
deceased afterwards committed the young man to his mo-
ther earth, in the church-yard.—Manchester Guardian.

The phenomenon called the Floating Island,
in Dement Lake, made its appearance above water a few
days ago, after lying d,,rtnaut for nearly five years.—
Carlisle Patriot.

A most ludicrous occurrence took place on
Monday week, at St. Peter's church, Sudbury. A young
couple, of the names of JOSEPH BEER and HANNAII
AiETCALF, attended for the purpose of being united, ac-
companied by ROBERT BEER, a brother of the bridegroom,
as daddy ; but by some untoward means, instead of JOSEPti
being married to his beloved HANNAH, she was spliced
to ROBERT, and the error was not discovered until the
parties had retired from the altar. It is needless to add
that the ceremony was performed over again, and JOSEPH
was eventually blessed with HANNAH.— Suffolk Herald.
On Tuesday morning a young female, named
NORTON, of a highly respectable family in the neighbour-
hood of Clieshunt, was found under one of the arches of
the new London-bridge by a policeman of letter M divi-
sion. She seemed to be so extremely ill, that the police-
man, with the assistance of another man, carried her to
St. Thomas's Hospital, and it was then discovered that
she had taken poison. Active remedies having been re-
sorted to, her life was saved, although she still continues
very much debilitated from the effects of the dose she had

who had immediately afterwards left the place, and she

on self-destruction. Her friends have been apprized of the
situation.in which she now lies.
