SCIENTIFIC SOCIETIES•—It is estimated that
tl e:e are about fifteen hundred learned and scientific so-

cietiea in the world; above half of which are occupied in
the encouragement of agriculture, manufactures, and com-
merce.—Literary Gazette.

THE HISTORICAL TRAVELLER.—This
work would not have been inaptly styled " Tales of Eu
ropean History," as it embraces the most memorable and
romantic narratives connected with the various countries

In Europe, such, for instance, as AlAsArarLto, the Nea-

politan Fisherman—COLA DI RIENZI, the Roman Tribune,
who has been denominated the " Saviour of his Country"
.--HOFER, the " TELL of the Tyrol"—the hapless Count
UGOLINO of Pisa—Foscmu, the Doge of Venice—The
Troubadours—Royal Palaces of Europe, &c. &c. It is

but justice to add, that these " beauties of history" are
treated of in the most popular and captivating manner. It

is a delightful work for the young, and indeed for all classes.

One of the Paris papers, edited by a well-
known gourmand, calls upon the French Government to
stop the further progress of the Austrians in Italy, on
the irresistible ground that " they have already stopped
the supply of Bologna sausages, by entering that town ;
and, if not stopped, will certainly destroy all the Par-
mesan cheese now in store !"

Major KEPPEL, who has just published the
results of his late travels in Turkey, entitled " Natrative
of a Journey across the Balcan," proceeded to Constanti-
nople, by way of France, Switzerland, and Italy. Ile
visited, among other places, Lepanto, Corinth, Athens,Na-
pall di Rumania, Adrianople, and Smyrna, connected with
which he has given much new and valuable information.
Ilis visit to Count DIEBITSCH—his interview with Count
CAro D'ISTRIAS— with the Grand Vizier MAIWAIET
REDSCHID PASHA—and other distinguished persons, and
indeed the whole narrative of his adventures cannot fail to
be perused with high interest. The illustrations to this
valable work are twelve in number, including a map of
the north western part of Asia Minor.

The East India Company's ships Berwick-
shire and Orwell arrived on the 27th inst., the former off
Portland, and the latter off Weymouth. The Berwick-

shire left China on the 4th, and the Orwell on the 6th of
December. The Edinburgh and .Macqueen arrived at
St. Helena on the sth of February, and were to leave on
the 7th of the same month. The Ann and Amelia arrived
in China on the 21st of November. The Berwickshire
spoke the Marquis of Huntly, outward bound, on the
19th of February, in lat. 5. 11., N., and long. 19. 30. W.
BURCKHARDT, THE TRAVELLER.—The CX-
ploring genius of this singular man found almost its latest
occupation in studying the peculiar manners and habits of
the Arabs of the desert. His " Travels among the Be-
douins and Walaabys," which embody his copious personal
experience in relation to those remarkable tribes, are re-
plete with characteristic anecdotes of that wild, pastoral,
and predatory life which is so deeply tinged with the hues
of romance—while the historical comments he has brought
to the elucidation of his subject give connection and per-
manence to its impression on the reader's mind. Of this
valuable work an Octavo Edition in two volumes has just
issued from the Press.

It is rumoured very seriously, that a project of
marriage has been resolved upon between the Duchess of
BEtUtI and Don MIGUEL of Portugal. We are even
assured that the Government has received this news by
telegraph.--Le Constitutionne/.—We do not know if this
news be true ; but it is certain that the most active relations
sul,sist between Holyrood and Lisbon, and that in Paris
Madame de BERRI showed a strong predilection for Don
MiounL. In any case, this is an able step .of the exib-d
family : if there be one name more unpopular in France
than another, which inspires a mixture of horror and con-
tempt, it is that of Don Mmum.; and it was certainly
requisite to have an ill-omened hand to choose such a one,
precisely out of the list of crowned hea,l6.—Courrier
Francais.

Our readers will be glad to find that, after an
interval of several years, the popular author of " Vivian
Grey" is about to publish another novel. The effect pro-
duced upon readers of every class by " Vivian Grey" must
be fresh in the memory of the town ; and we are autho-
rised in mentioning a fact not generally known, viz. that
one of the earliest manifestations of dramatic talent in
that young lady whose genius has lately received homage
from multitudes, was elicited by a perusal of " Vivian
Grey." The new work of this truly original writer is to
be called " The Young Duke."
In the days of GARRICK a Mr. CROSS was
prompter at Drury Lane Theatre. Mr. SANDERS, the
principal machinist, kept race horses. He one day came
into the prompter's room while he was engaged writing,
uttering exclamations against his jockey, who had just
lost a race. Cross, vexed at the interruption, said impa-
tiently, His fault, his fault—how was it his fault ?"
Why,' said SANDERS, " the rascal ran my horse against
a waggon." " Umph," replied Caoss, " I never knew a
horse of yours that was fit to run against any thing
else."—Athenceurn.

WEDDED LIFE IN THE UPPER RANKS.--
The work under the above general title so long announced
has at length been published. The stories are calculated,
we understand, to exhibit to the public at large a cor-
recLer notion of the " holy state" in fashionable life than
has yet been afforded them. The tales are called respec-
tively " The Wife and Friends" and " The Married Man."
There is an old proverb which says " One half of the
world knows not how t'other lives;" and it is expected
that the above work will curiously demonstrate the truth
of the assertion.

It appears certain that Austria has just made
a new levy of 50,000 men, and that the King of PRUSSIA
has convoked the States-General, to obtain new supplies
to defray the warlike expenses he has incurred.—Courtier
Francais.
The banquet to be given to the Knights of
the Bath by his MAJESTY on the anniversary of Admiral
RODNEY'S glorious victory is expected to be more than
usirilly magnificent. The noble guests will, we doubt not,
in the course of their repast, look for many of those dishes
which are known to be the invention of the inimitable
DOLBY, and which have conferred on his " Cook's Dic-
tionary" an exclusive reputation.
The narrative of Captain BEECHEY'S voy-
age to the Pacific and to Behring's Straits is highly ho-
nourable to the British Government, at whose I, uggestion
the publication was undertaken. The Captain's adven-
tures in some of the remote Islands of Polynesia, and at
Loo Choo, together with his discoveries in the frozen re-
gions of the Polar Sea, confer on this national work an
interest not surpassed even by the famous voyages of Cap-
tain Coos.
