ably Mrs. Trollope's fame will be greatly advanced
work, for in it she his taken higher ground, end by this
exerted her
powers in a more praiseworthy cause than any recent novel-
ist. The production of " Michael Armstrong" affords
strong confirmation of the truth of the following
remarks on
Mrs. Trollope, which appear in the lately-published Quar-
terly Review :—" This lady is, beyond a doubt, one of the
cleverest and most remarkable writers of fie day. With a
quickness of observation that takes in the whole object at a
glance, an insight into motives that seems instinctive, a keen
perception of the ridiculous, and strong powers of humourous
delineation, she is the person of all others to expose preten-
sion, or unmask hypocrisy.
MISS PIGOTT'S NEW W0RK,.......We are re-
quested to state that Miss Pigott's new work 66 Records of
Real Life in the Palace and in the Cottage," is now ready, and
may be had of the Publishers, Messrs. Saunders and Otley,
Conduit-street, at the Libraries, and of the Booksellers ; also,
Mr. Lodge's " New Peerage for 1840, corrected throughout
cram the personal communications of the Nobility ; and on
Monday next '‘ The Real and the Ideal, or Illustration s of
Travel."
MR. E. SOLOAIONS, OPTICIAN, No,
OLD
JEWRY, CITY, AND No. 36, OLD BOND-STREET.-The great
efficacy of this gentleman's spectacles, for weak or defective
vision, is most satisfactorily authenticated by the concurrent
testimony of thousands of living witnesses of the first respec
tability in this and the sister kingdoms ; added to which, the
documentary proofs submitted through the medium of the daily
Journals, decidedly establish Mr. E. Selornons reputation a's
an optician and scientific man. His voice-conductors, recently
invented, are the most powerful instruments hitherto dis-
covered for defective hearing. Deaf persons are enabled from
their minute constr=tion (being only a quarter of an inch in
diameter) to wear them entirely unseen ; they are inserted and
removed with the greatest facility. By their use musical sounds
and the lowest whisper, breathed at a public assembly, vibrates
on the organs of hearing in such a pleasant manner, as to afford
the greatest relief to those afflicted with the distressing ailment
of deafness.
MORTLACH.—We extract the private letter of
a gentleman in Banffshire, relative "to the church collision in
this parish On Friday last (the 3d instant) a young
licentiate of the church, Mr. Bell, called at the manse of
Mortlach, and intimated to Mr. Cruickshank, the minister, that
he was sent there to lecture to the people, to preach on the Sun-
days, to visit the sick, &c. He said he was not ordained, and
could not celebrate marriage or baptism, but that he would
lecture every evening, and preach twice every Sunday, add,
ing, that it was his duty, at the same time, to inform the
people, that Mr. Cruickshank was prohibited from performing
these duties, even in visiting the sick, and that any marriage
or baptism celebrated by him was null and void. The
minister, however, continues to preach in his own church, and
perform as usual his pastoral duties, while the only place which
the young licentiate can procure. within the parish to hold his
meetings is an old malt loft, the property of persons not con-
nected with the.parish." The Mr. Bell alluded to is a nephew
of the Procurator.— Glasyoze Chronicle.
