L
Tilite reading public
may congratulate BANKERitse upon another and an important acces-
sion
. ---
lE f
to the list of new aspirants for literary honours in ti.e
class of prose fiction. " The Banker Lord,j
which hasjustst
made its appearance to dispute or divide the palm of popularity
with Mrs. Maberley's charming novel of " Emily," contains
some of the most striking pictures of fashionable society that
our day has produced. But its leading charm will be found to
consist in its singularly forcible, racy, and true pictures of
Irish life in all its various grades, from the stately old Peer,
Lord Still-organ, and his high-minded son, the Protestant pastor
of the parish, ch.wn to the exquisite Tricey, and the incompar
able Mrs. Kelley—the latter two characters alone being suffi-
cient to make the fortune of this capital ncwel. The Irish por-
tions of this tale, promise to revive the palmy days of Miss
Edgeworth, to whose best productions it is scarcely inferior.
The Review of the National Guaids in Paris
took place on Sunday, before the King of the French. Nothing
occurred to mar the tranquillity of the day. One of the
battalions of the Nationat.Guards, on defiling before the King,
cried out for electoral reform, to which it is said his Majesty
replied, " You shall have it, my children."

us that the poet Clare died, some months ago, at the Lunatic
Asylum at York.—Halifax Express.
