The intended new publication, called " The Hu-
morist," which, at the suggestion of Mr. Theodore Hook,
is to be incorporated with the New Monthly Magazine,
will form a very prominent feature in that work, and we
understand that Mr. Hook himself intends to contribute
largely to its pages ; so that the public may expect a great
increase of amusement for the New Monthly, commencing
with the January Number.
Sunday morning a ship without a crew was blown
into Buffin Bay. The coastguard, as soon as they boarded
her, were much surprised to find by her appearance that
she had been in that deserted condition for a long time, as
a great deal of sea-weed was adhering to her sides, and no
unusual quantity of water was in her hold ; consequently
no leak had been sprung. We suppose she had capsized
at sea, and after much fruitless toil to bring her to rights
her despairing crew had deserted her.--Galway Advertiser.
HENRIETTA TEMPLE.—ThiS new novel, by the
author of " Vivian Grey," is presented to the novel-reading
public under the attractive designation of a " love story"—
undoubtedly it is so. It is a " tale of the heart ;" but it
is further a narrative in which a writer who has evidently
observed and reflected not a little conveys the result of his
experience in the natural evolvement of his story. The
style of the work is, generally speaking, graceful—in many
parts distinguished by passionate eloquence. There is, in-
deed, exquisite delicacy in the management, always difficult,
of such circumstances as compose the story of Henrietta
Temple's love. The writer shows no common portion of
both talent and reflection, and we thank him for the moral
courage with which he has depicted the sincere and pro-
found love of the hero and heroine.—Times.
