TOM -----
BOWLING.—Such is the attractive title
of Captain Chaniier's new naval novel. Our associations
with tle name 'of:Tom Bowling—" the darling of the
crew"--areßrith among the most delightful of any that the
laurca of. the., navy, I)ibden, has clustered round the
saildi's'eharactei, and the tact of Captain Chamicr
has most happily availed itself of them ; while his ex-
tensive knowledge of sea life, and his practised pen have
enabled him to weave out of the theme a web of fiction
that will 'bear comparison
.with any of the naval novels
of the day—his Own; which are among the best, not ex-
cepted. The character of Tom Bowling himself is drawn
with infinite spirit. Tho scene at the death-bed of his
suppositions father, the dog stealer—with the Parson,
the German Doctor, and the " benevolent" Apothecary,
though of quite a diifereot cast, is excellent in its way,
and shows great versatility, as well as general knowledge
Of life, in the writer. • The great variety of this novel
will probably cau,:e it to be even more extensively read
than the author's previous works.
RELIGION AND POLITICS. —AN UN-
THOUGIITFUL YOUTIL—On Sunday evening last, a young
Wesleyan Methodist preacher of the name of Mr. IN
H. Cornforth, who has just begun his ministerial labours,
appeared in the pulpit of the Ifeckmondwike Methodist
chapel with a blue riband 'across his breast, to the asto-
nishment and disgust of the whole congregation.
iDrittou
the elections Mr. Cornforth has appeared in the pulpitinal
various places on the week day evenings,
fit;-our. But the fact of a preacher entering
with a blue
pulpit on the Sabbath day with political colours, cannot
but be a source of deep regret to 411 well regulated
minds,—Leects Mercury,
