FINE ARTS.

FL OTVERS OF LOVELINESS.
Ackermann, London, 1836.
The conception of this work is remarkably happy,
and not less so the execution. The Editor is Mr.
aThes Bailey, who has illustrated a variety of engrav-
ings of beautiful females, named after the different
flowers
which they are supposed to represent, by poems,
whose great charm lies in their graceful and pertinent
simplicity, We
We do not know of any volume better
adapted to lie on a drawing-room table than this
b:lowers of Loveliness." It is handsome without
TI? g tawdry : various and choice in its engravings,
Wll 'ch are the productions of some of the most eminent
artists of the day ; and the poems are each just of
s lifficieut length to be read through without wearying
the reader. " The Jessamine" is represented by two
Youthful females—one a blonde, the other a brunette,
triilo are playfully twining a wreath of this flower about
b ern. The attitude of the two figures is full of easy
,grace, and the little bit of landscape in the back-ground
relieves the uniformity of the picture. " The Myrtle"
consists also of two females ; one of whom has an
Allegro, and the other a Penseroso expression of coun-
+.
flatice• We prefer the gay, laughing girl, for there
'8 a witchery in her merry black eye, and in the arch
"lilt playing about her rosy lips, which is far more
attractive than the grave and thoughtful aspect of the
Other. " The Primrose" is represented by a dark
giPsy-looking girl, who is placing a chaplet of prim-
rusgs on the head of a fair blonde, down whose pale
face a tear is stealing, whence we conclude she is far
gone in love--a malady peculiar to youthful and sus-
cePtible spirits, especially when they happen to be good-
i°°,king, which is the case with this fair unfortunate,
/le° is evidently " all soul," as boarding-school girls
are apt to say of the first young gentleman that pays
them a compliment. " The Wild Geranium" is repre-
tented by a mother well- is dancing an infant child in
her arms. It is a executed engraving by Hull,
fr°lll a design furnished by Mrs. Seyffarth. The re-
maining prints in the volume are equally excellent with
those which we have selected, and the poetry is far su-
perior to the average of Annual verse.

IMRS. GORE'S NEW NOVEL.—The new novel
riled " Mrs. Armytage ; or, Female Domination," has
en pronounced by all our critical contemporaries, not only
„,
Vle best production of the authoress of " Mothers and
Daughters," but one of the very ablest works of fiction pro-
`iuced for many years past. Of the dramatis persona, the
Scotsman remarks—" The careering impetuosity of Mrs.
lrmytage's temper, and the uncomplaining placidity
her daughter's disposition, amidst the sufferings of a
broken heart, are depicted with powerful force by Mrs.
(yore. All the characters, especially the females, are
sketched with the finest discrimination. Marian, a pretty
and good-hearted girl, whose only fault is that she wants
tact ; Rose Devonport, a simple country beauty, with her
aunt's aristocratical specimens of antique spinsters, full of
character ; Mrs. Dyke Robsey, the rather vulgar wife of a
Wealthy M.P. Some of the men, too, are presented to, if
zot from, the life. The rollicking, downwnright jolly Jack
Qaltimore ; the spiteful tuft-hunter, Mr. Wemmersley ;
the rich Yankee, metamorphosed from the stark Repub-
Tah ; Mr. Leonidas Lomax, into the assiduous, fashiona-
ble Sir Leon Fitzmarscourt, of Counterfield Lodge. The

respective descriptions and histories of these characters
suggest a world of satire, entertainment, and instruction."
INHOSPITALITY OF THE AMERICANS. The
Tollowing is an extract from " Weston's Visit to America,"
Which, from its wide circulation, we suppose has been
generally read. It strongly pourtrays the demoralization
ti the Americans, and their disgraceful inhospitality to
einigrants on landing. After having lain all night in the
streets himself, he says—" On going along the quay, I
observed many holes in it, large enough to allow a person
even a chest to fall through ; and as there was no lamps

the recesses of doors, and some on the bare pavement.
luquired of a good-looking elderly woman, who was lying
On the pavement, her head bare, and her long grey hair
fluttering in the breeze—how long was it since she landed ?
and she answsred in German that it was sir nights, and
that her party had lain all that time in the streets." Such
rues meet the eve of every emigrant on landing at New
fork, and are repeated at Philadelphia and New Orleans.
DISCOVERY OF A HUMAN SKELETON IN LIN-
INN-sQUAßE.—Yesterday morning some workmen
mere employed in digging in front of the house No. 9, Lin-
L°lll'2 inn-square beyond the area, for the purpose of form-
tb a cavity in which a large cistern was to be placed for
kithe better supply of water to the inmates of that house.
%00tit nine o'clock, as one of the labourers, who was dig-
s rather under that part of the pavement at the end of
epassage leadii2g from Serle-street to the Inn with a
spade, he was astonished at drawing forth the skull of a
human being. The focernan of the works, and the different
7ers of the Inn, were immediately apprised of the cir-
urni. 3tree and the workmen were ordered to proceed
delaywith-
in the excavation of that particular spot. Some
ticaluger being apprehended from digging too rapidly under

viarlug the day, from the number of passengers, they pro-
`l,ed themselves with props, and proceeded cautiously. In
bans,
time they brought forth the bones of the legs, feet,

The depth at which the skeleton was found was

of hair, of what is called a sandy red, was found adher-
