THE NEW EDITION OF MR. BT.MICE'S
PEERAGE AND BARONITAGE.—This is certainly one of the
most extraordinary books ever produced, whether regarded as
to its materials, or the ability disphyed in their arrangement'
This single volume absolutely comprises within its compass we
substance of probably forty large volumes, including Dar
dale, Collins, Douglas, &c., more by compression than abbre-
viation, for, in referring to Mr. Burke's wcrk, there does not
appear to be one important historical fact omitted, or ono
memorable family tradition forgotten. Further, the work 11
brought down to the present year, and consequently suppliFil
an immense mass of original information, not to be found In,
any other on the subject. It contains every new creation I?'
Peerage or Baronetcy. It connects the families of the prirl-
le,red orders with those of the private gentry, by deducinf
the collateral branches and alliances of the former through
their ramifications, and, in one word, affords every species of
intelligence that may at any time be sought for on the subject.
" THE BALD HEAD."—The announcement of a
psece at the Olympic bearing the above title has occasioned the
greatest excitement, and everybody is dying to see such a thing'
A bald head at the present day is a perfect phenomenon":
wonder —a monstrosity—a lusus naturte—an ignis fatuus--
will-o'• wisp—a jack-o'-lantern—a name—a John Doe--..s
Richard Roe—a Jack O'Nokes—a Ned O'Styles......a norainle
umbra—a shade—a dream—the shadow of a shade ! The
scarcity of the occurrence is occasioned, as is well known, by
the general use of Rowland's Macassar Oil, which is so admir-
able a specific for the growth of hair as effectually to remove
baldness, and cover the barest head with a luxuriant growth
by only a few applications.
THE COUNTESS.—A very remarkable novel
under this title will immediately appear. It is written by gri
Theodore Fay, lately attached to the American Embassy, and
who, like his countryman and friend Washington Irving, he'.
visited in the highest circles. The principal object of tbe
forthcoming work of fiction is to demonstrate the absurdity and
cowardice of duelling—an object which the author is supposed
to have achieved in connection with a story abounding in nevr,
and striking incidents, wherein are united the mysterious and
the credible—the glittering follies of high life, and the toilsome
struggles of the humble—the terror of old romance and the fa.
miliar painting of the new.
A JUVENILE COMPLAINANT.—Wednesday, a
little fellow, who for fighting with another lad had been sent to
the House of Correction by the parish officers, came to Hatton'
garden, and there lodged before the Magistrates a complaint
against "both houses"—against the poorhouse for short com-
mons, and against the House of Correction for pushing the,
" silent system" to the tyrannical extent of punishing him or
merely speaking in his sleep.
