contributions to which are unquestionably the notice
of Mrs. Fry, and of Mr. Brooke, " The White Raja
of the East. Every publication almost, of any emi-
nence, has added its expressions of eulogium to those
originally pronounced in the political circles respect-
ing the enterprise of the civihzer of Saravrak, and the
Christian adventurer in Borneo. Another article will
be perused with avidity, we mean the one commemo-
rative of the Chartist movement, and in which the
necessity for reform is temperately enforced. Of

and literary excellence. The writing is wholesome,
and the engravings are neat and faithful. In Part
IX. there is an elaborate delineation of Edinburgh,
and in Part X. there is an equally elaborate delinea-
ti on of the eastern coasts. Of Lowe's Edinburgh
Afagazine, we cannot speak in language of such de-
cided commendation, some of the papers being intole-
rably superficial. One, however, in the number for
May has afforded us deep pleasure : it is beautifully
entitled" Pictures of Dr. Chalmers from the memor

laneous publications just issued from the press, we
must mention the appearance of the first number of a
very striking and singular atlas, the Descriptive Atlas
of Astronomy. It is a series of maps arranged on a
new and ingenious system, a system which promises
not only to re-arrange the geographic knowledge of
the subscribers, but also associate their political ideas
with the facts gleaned in the acquisition of the
science of gesigraphy.

THOM, THE INVERUItYPoET.LThe secretary of
the committee in Dundee for raising subscriptions for
the wicow and children of Thom, the Inverury poet,
writes to us thus :—I am glad to say that our fund pro-
gresses in a very satisfactory way ; already it amounts
to nearly 2001., which sum, however, includes a grant
of 20/. from the Royal Literary Fund, and several col-
lections made at a distance sent in a lump to us ; but
a good deal will, doubtless, yet be done in other
Places ; and in London the Caledonian Society hay*
formed a committee. We may thus, one way or other,
muster more than 3001., which, invested safely and judi-
ciously, will be a very great assistance to the family."--
Dumfries Herald.
MANLY ACTION.—Last week, at Jersey, the lives
of two children, who had been surrounded by the tide,
were saved by a little boy, son of Major Carlton, who,
disgusted at the apathy of the spectators, rushed into
the water at the risk of his life.---Bristol Paper.
