COLBURN'S MODERN NOVELISTS.—We observe
that this cheap and elegant publication has given rise to seve-
ral other new literary speculations, but we must confess that
no one among them possesses so many attractions, when we
consider the judgment displayed in the selection of authors
—the convenience of the form—the beauty of the printing
and binding, and the interesting nature of the embellish-,
ments—combining besides, amidst scenes of humour and
pathos, the portraits of the several authors. In the new
volume, just published, containing Mr. Lister's " Granby,"
every one must be struck with the extraordinary likeness of
the author, engraved by Finden—a more happy delineation
was never, perhaps, achieved by any artist. The work
itself, too, is eminently adapted to become a classic, among
the English novelists. As distinguished from those of the
old school, the Edinburgh Review observes, of the popular
class of novels in which Mr. Lister so pre-eminently shines,
that, " The spectator, though he neither thrills with horror,
nor shakes with inextinguishable laughter as of yore, looks
on with the calm but deep interest of one who feels that
the case of the actors in the drama* may come to be his
own ; and from the spectacle of their joys and sorrows,
errors and perplexities, he may retire a wiser and a better
man." Well, indeed, does this work deserve a place in a
library of entertaining knowledge.
INQUEST AT SHANDRUM, NEAR CHARLEVILLE.
—The following is from the Cork Southern Reporter, just
received in town :—This inquest was brought to a close at
four o'clock on Sunday morning, when the jury, who had
retired at nine o'clock on the preceding evening, after hav-
ing been charged by the Coroner, returned the following
verdict :—" That the deceased, Terence Sweeney, came by
his death in consequence of a gun-shot wound from one of
several shots from a party of police, fired in discharge of
their duty, and while repelling a tithe-infuriated assemblage."

MR. ALDERMAN WINCHESTER AND

MR. ROTCH.

—.—
The following correspondence terminates the disagreeable
business between Alderman Winchester and Mr. Rotch
Furnival's-inn, January 20. 1836.
" Having seen in the morning papers of this day a
report of the proceedings of the Court of Lord Mayor and
Aldermen, holden yesterday, and the conciliatory resolution
adopte,! by the Court (in which, in a rummer so honourable to
yourself, you ;;t once expressed a readiness to concur), I have
no hesitation in expressing to you my sincere regret, that in a
moment of excitement I addressed to you, when Lord-Mayor,
the letters I did, and which I request you will do me the favour
to consider as withdrawn ; thereby terminating, t trust, satis-
factorily to your
,feelings, an affair which I am sorry to think
must have been as painful to you as it has been to myself.
" I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant,
" BENJAMIN ROTCH.

," To 1111. Alderman Winchester."

REPLY.

Buckingl:m-street, Adelphi, Jan. 22, 1836.
" Sin,—l have much pleasure in acknowledging the receipt
of your letter of the 20th inst., and in assuring you that its
contents arc perfectly satisfactory to my feelings; and I have
directed the City Solicitor to discontinue forthwith all pro-
ceedings in the Court of King's Bench.
" I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant,
"HENRY WINCHESTER-
" To Benjamin Rotch, Esq."
