pay a proper respect to his wife; and it was only by the
strongest commands and entreaties on her part, that
he was brought into keeping a decent behaviour. • You
can't shoot mo into society,' she said, good-naturedly.
' Remember, my dear, that I was but a governess, and
you, you poor silly old man, have the worst reputation
for debt, and dice, and all sorts of wickedness. We
shall get quite as many friends as we want by and bye,
and in the meanwhile you must be a good boy, and obey
your schoolmistress in everything she tells you to do.
When we heard that your aunt had left almost every-
thing to Pitt and his wife, do you remember what a rage
you were in? You would have told all Paris, if I had
not made you keep your temper, and where would yon
have been now?—in prison at St. Pelagie for debt, and
not established in London in a handsome house, with
every comfort about you--you were in Filch a fury you
were ready to murder your brother, you wicked Cain
you, and what good would have come of remaining
angry? All the rage in the world won't get us your
aunts money; and it is much better that we should be
friends with your brother's family than enemies, as those
foolish Butes are. When your father dies, Queen's
Crawley will be a very pleasant house for you and Lao
to pass the winter in. If we are ruined, you can carve
and take charge of the stable, and I can be a governess
to Lady Susan's children. Ruined! fiddlededee! I will
get you a good place before that; or Pitt and his little
boy will die, and we will be Sir Rawdon and my lady.
While there is life, there is hope, my dear, and I intend
to make a man of you yet. Who sold your horses for
you? Who paid your debts for you?' Rawdon was
obliged to confess that he owed all these benefits to his
wife, and to trust himself to her guidance for the future.
Thanks to the tact of Rebecca, Rawdon had kept
on terms with his brother, Pitt, after the death of his
aunt, and Rebecca now looks forward to the arrival
in town of Lady Jane, to be her sponsor in London
society. In the meantime poor Amelia is living

KNIGHT'S MONTHLY VOLUME. Vols. X VII.
XVIII., xx., XXL, xxa, xxia-1
Warnum's History of Painting. Two Parts—Destruc.
Lion and Re discovery of. Pompeii. Two Parts—
Popular Tumults—Planche s History of British Cos-
tume. Two Pails.

Since its transferrence to the establishment of Mr.
Charles Cox, from that of Mr. Charles knight, this
excellent periodical has continued to make its ap-
pearance every successive month with the utmost
regularity. The materials of the publication, type,
paper, printing, and illustration, are as good as here-
tofore, and the themes of the different volumes are as
varied and intelligent. The `°History of Painting,"
by Ralph N. Warnum is especially worthy of notice,
being a condensed narrative of the different stages in
the progress of that art both in ancient and modern
times. The account of Pompeii is a reprint of the
publication formerly issued by the Society for the
Diffusion of Useful knowledge, and is em-
bellished with a profusion of excellent wood-.
cuts. " Sketches of Popular Tumults, illus-
trative of the effects of Social Ignorance," are
divided into three sections, one on religious fanaticism,
dating from the first tumults against the Jews in
England to the No-Popery Riots of Lord George
Gordon : another on political excitement, beginning
with the days of Wat Tyler : and a third on Raising
the of Labour, illustrated by circumstances
that have occurred in the manufacturing districts.
The " History of British Costume," by Planche,
like several of the preceding serials of this publication,
profusely adorned with embellishments ; and affords
the reader an accurate idea of the changes which have
at different times diversified the costumes of our
ancestors, from the tattooed emblazonry of the Picts
down to our present most hideous and inelegant dress.
Altogether the Monthly Volume must prove no in-
considerable acquisition to the libraries of the middle
classes.

DESTRUCTIVE FlltEs.—Last night, shortly before
ten o'clock, two serious fires broke out almost simul-
taneously, at High-street, Camberwell, and High-street,
Newington Butts. The first was discovered by a con-
stable of the P division, burning upon the premises in
the tenure of Mr. T. Tidy, furnishing ironmonger,
situate at No. 5, High-street, Camberwell. The con-
stable raised an alarm, and fortunately the inmates had
not retired to rest, but so dense was the smoke in the
front shop, that none of them were able to pass through
it. They, however, succeeded in effecting a safe retreat
from the back of the house. The damage done to the
valuable stock by fire and water is very serious ; but
fortunately Mr. Tidy was insured in the Sun Fire-office.
Mr. Inspector Campbell, with a powerful body of men,
were early at the fire, and kept the place from being
plundered by a party of men who are always on the
alert in cases of such a disaster. The firemen had hardly
succeeded in getting the above fire safely subdued, than
a gentleman named Pratt, residing in the Walworth-
road, communicated to them the intelligence of another
outbreak in the same neighbourhood. It was found that

Colonel of the 4th Light Dragoon Guards, stationed at
Island Bridge Barracks, Dublin, met with an accident on

and unfortunately fractured his collar-bone. We are
happy to add that, according to the last accounts re-
ceived, his Lordship was recovering.
One of the most splendid illuminations in honour
of the natal day of the Heir Apparent, was exhibited by
Mr. Walton, of Gosport. The device consisted of a
magnificent and costly plume of feathers, surmounting
the letters P. and W., formed of pure gas. The design
was well conceived, and the effect exceedingly brilliant.
