The settlement of the Foreign account being even, and
the payment of the dividend in a few days, we have no
doubt will render money more easy to be obtained.

ago from Charleston, with the following enormous cargo:-

LITERATURE.

MAGAZINE OF DOMESTIC ECONOMY,
VOL. V.
Orr and Co., London, 1480.
There are some judicious remarks, mixed up with
other useful matters of domestic economy, in this
volume, respecting the adulterations to which Lon-
don porter is subjected ; and directions are given for
brewing it, which, however, few private families will
ever undertake to do, for it seems to be a very trou-
blesome and complicated process.

SCRIPTURE BIOGRAPHY.
Churton, London, 1840.
This is a work likely to be read with interest by
young people, for it narrates in a pleasing and fami-
liar style, the principal events in the New Testa-
ment, and is illustrated with several wood-cuts en-
graved from original designs furnished by Martin.

GERMAN, FRENCH. AND ENGLISH CON-
,VERSATIONS.
Simphin and Marshall, London, 1840.
A useful, elementary work, whose object,—says
Mr. Stafford, the compiler, in his preface—" is to
facilitate the acquirement of sound theoretical and
practical knowledge, and thereby to contribute to-
wards the advancement of the science of languiges."
This is a laudable attempt; and the clever and ser-
viceable character of the various conversations intro-
duced into the volume, satisfy us that it will not be
an unsuccessful one.
