THE STORY OF LILLY DAWSON.—MrS. Crewe, the
authoress of " The adventures of Susan Hopley," which
had so extraordinary a run some years since, and upon
which numerous dramas have been constructed, has written
another true history of the vicissitudes of fortune which befel
a young and interesting female. Lilly Dawson is a heroine
of quite as interesting a character as Susan Hopley, and her
adventures are not less romantic than those which marked
the career of the latter. Mrs. Crewe's style is simple and
unaffected, am! yet so entirely evidencing the lady of edu-
cation, that it possesses a charm which renders her work
irresistible. " Lilly Dawson "is also in course of being ea-
matised, and will be produced, we understand, next week.
The Hibernia, British and North American Royal
Mail steam-ship, sailed from Liverpool, for Halifax and
Boston, yesterday afternoon. She carries out a large freight
