THE DIARY OF A DESENNUYEE.—Our interest
has been strangely excited by the rumours afloat touching the
authorship of this, work, and, now we have glanced over its
pages, our curiosity is rather increased than diminished. What
can all this mean ? Is it real? Is it actually into the salons
of the Tuileries and St. James's we arc thus coolly initiated ;
and are the originals of this bold tableau actually such as on
all sides we hear assigned ? We sincerely trust not.
A Correspondent inquires how it happens that the
the omnibuses through the Strand are so much inferior to
those which pass through Holborn and Oxford-street. Those
through Oxford-street never stop and loiter on the way, while
the Strand omnibuses, by their continual stoppages, are a per-
fect nuisance.

MEETINGS FOR AMUSING KNOWLEDGE.—
Miss Wood has produced a book for young people, of a new
class and character (says the Atlas.) Its Lectures on Con-
chology, its Papers of Science, Natural History, and Polite
Letters, its tales, anecdotes, and incidents, are very pleasing
in themselves ; but the new tone of the work is its curiosity.
The young folks meet, during the holidays, to instruct each
other, and to infuse a spirit of intellectual exertion into their
holiday sports. The information conveyed by the book, the
range of subjects which it embraces, its exc►ting effect, will re-
commend it to many readers, as marking the commencement
of a new style hr these matters, about which the rising gene-
ration 'are but imperfectly informed,
