CAPT. HAVELOCK'S " NARRATIVE OF THE
LATE WAR IN AFFGrIANISTAN."-This ably written work
furnishes by far the most comprehensive as well as the most
interesting account the public has yet received of the late
brilliant war in Affghanistan. Capt. Havelock's position
was peculiarly favourable to the production of a narrative
of the events of the campaign, and the narrative he has
here placed before us is highly creditable to his spirit of
observation, his impartiality, and his desire and determina-
tion to tell the exact truth on all points. In a word, the
merit and value of this work consists in the bona fide cha-
racter of the pictures it gives of all the leading events of
the campaign—or rather the entire war; and the impres-
sion it leaves of those pictures having been taken at the
time, and en the spot to which they refer. The assault of
Ghuznce of course maintains the principal place in the
narrative, and nothing can be more graphic or interesting
than Captain Havelock's description of the storming and its
results ; and his subsequent description of the flight and
pursuit of Dost Mohammed is scarcely less exciting. The
whole work is worthy of the events which gave rise to it.

EXPENSE OF A PACK OF FOXIIOUNDS.—Four
thousand pounds a year is the sum. It is well known that
ono celebrated sportsman, lately deceased, was the owner
of foxhounds for fifty-seven years ; here has been the im-
mense sum of two hundred and twenty-eight thousand
pounds expended by one man in one pursuit, supposing the
above annual sum to have been disbursed in the charges
attending it. We could name a dozen masters of fox-
bounds for forty consecutive years, at their own cost, each
of which must have expended one hundred and twenty
thousand pounds in the course of that period, on the above-
named account I—Nimrod.
