NEW NOVEL BY THE AUTHOR OF " TRE-
MAINE."—The announcement of a new novel by this
accomplished writer cannot fail to excite unusual interest,
without immediate reference to its subject matter. But
curiosity will be doubled when it is known (as we under-
stand to be the case) that " De Clifford; cr the Constant
Man," depicts the entire personal career of a young and
highly-gifted aspirant for political fame, from his first early
debut as the humble private secretary of a minister, to his
attainment of that wealth, influence, and aristocratic con-
nection to which no other career opens the path. We
have reason to believe that among the numerous characters
introduced i Ito the r,arrdtive, many will be at once recog-
nised as pointing at, at least, if not positively depicting
the great political leaders who played so conspicuous a
part in public affairs not many years ago. Through the
whole, too, there runs, as we understand, the mazy wind.
lugs of a love story, that will conciliate the favour of the
fairer portion of its readers as strongly as the political
satire will appeal to the more masculine tastes cf the day.
A PRINCELY ODDITY.—I accompanied Ba-
ron de Swie.en on a visit to the old Prince of Saxe }hid-
burghausen, who, at eighty years old, can raise a weight
of three hundred pounds. He always retires to his rest at
eight o'clock, and as he walks from his saloon to his bed-
chamber, leas men posted, who pull off his wig and clothes,
so that he is ready for his bed by the time he gets to the
door of his bedchamber. Thus scarcely two minutes suf-
fice for his wilt tte.—Swothurne's Courts of Europe,
