MRS. MABERLY'S NOVEL, " EMILY, OR THE
COUNTESS OF RosvwnALE."—The Times justly observes of
ibis work, that it is " One of the best novels of its class that
has appeared for several seasons. The fair authoress has de-
scribed the modes and manners of polished society with a faci-
lity and truth of representation which none but a writer accus-
tomed to move in the circles of which she treats, and to observe
carefully what she beheld there, could accomplish. This is the
great merit of the book ; the scenes represented are such as
she actually beheld ; and the characters she has described are
such as form the actual dramatis personw of them. There is
no caricature. The plot is simple and compact, with suffi-
cient interest to create attention, and reward it. Tile charze-
ters are all admirably drawn. They are so real that they look
like portraits."

MR. BURKE'S " EXTINCT PEERAGE."--A
new and enlarged edition of this work has just been publis4d
by Mr. Colburn, forming a 'handsome volume of 800 closely
printed pages, in double columns, with an emblazoned title-
page, &c., prise 255. bound. The principal new feature of
this enlarged edition is, that it comprises, exclusively, the ea-
tinct Peers of Ireland and Scotland, which are now, fur thejirst
time, submitted to the public in detail; each article entering
fully into the origin and transmission of each respective title,
and bringing the descent down to some existing family in eves,
case where so desirable and interesting on object coald be ac-
complished. The Extinct Peerage presents_ in every page
marks of the same extraordinary research so dasearacy which
has rendered Mr. Burke's Peerage so famous above a!' others.,
It is a work which no possessor of any other Peerage whatever
will choose to be without.
From Sir Anthony Carlisle, F.R.S., President
of the Royal College of Surgeons, and, Senice: Surgeon, to the
Westminster Hospital :—"
Mr. E. Solomons Spectacle Lenses
seem to me likely to afford additional aids to imperfect vision ;
and, because of their superior refracting power to glass, or
other dense materials, they promise to afford new researtes
for the construction of spectacles.--Anthony Carlisle, F. R. S.
Langham-place." From Bransby,Cooper, Esq., F.R. S., Sur.
geon to Guy's Hospital,.&c. From the use I have made
of he Patent Lenses, and comparing them with those in
glasses, I have no hesitation in saying that to my
sight the former are infinitely preferable, in being less trying
to the eyes."—Bransby B. Cooper, 2, New-street, Spring..
gardens. From Martin Ware, Esq.. the eminent oculist.—•, I
am much pleased with Mr. E. Solomons' Patent Lenses and a
gentleman, who made trial of them for several days, says that
they relieve the eye much more than any glasses he has before
used.—Martin Ware, New Bridge-street." From J. G. An-
drews, Esq., Senr. Surgeon to the London Hospital.—" I have
much pleasure in bearing testimony to the value and import-
ance of Mr. E. Solomon,' Patent Spectacles, which materially
prevent a too strong glare of light, and will be found more be-
neficial than plain coloured glasses in defective vision.—J. G.
Andrews, 4, St. Helen's-place." Mr. E. Solomens' Voice
Conductors are not larger than a fourpenny piece. Person
using them are enabled to hear distinctly the voice of a distant
speaker in church, theatre, or public assembly. Observe,

It is not true, as stated in the Sunday papers,
that Courvoisier made his confession to Mr. Phillips, his cow,.
set. The confession was made to his sobcitor. Mr. Flower, is
pre.ence of Mr. Sheriff Wheelton, and Mr. Phillips knew no-
thing of it until after the court broke up.
