THE COMIC HISTORY OF ENGLAND. No. 1.

By Gilbert Abbott a Beckett.
What possibly shall we say of this ? That it is the
very extravagance of comicality—that it is brim full,
and running over with fun—that its drollery is the
wry excess of drollery, and its facetiousness the very
acme of facetiousness? Or shall we borrow a phrase
from the United States, and call it a "screamer ?" We
might do all this, and yet not convey a sufficient notion
of the performance of either Mr. I Beckett or Mr.
Leech. How, for example, shall we convey a notion of
the " Landing of Julius Caesar," as drawn by John
Leech—with the British barbarians seated on bathing-
machines, and Caesar coming gallantly on shore on the
paddle-box of a steam-boat, himself attired in breast-
plate, tunic, hessianv, and a green frock-coat, a la Napo-
leon ? or of the Druid having a quiet game of cricket
with Time, a bit of Stonehenge forming their wicket ?
As a specimen of the historian's style of narration, we
give the following ;
" The swords of the early Britons were made of copper,
and generally bent with the first blow, which must have
greatly straitened their aggressive resources, for the
swords thus followed their own bent, instead of carrying
out the intentions cf the persons using them. This pro-
voking pliancy of the material must often have made the
soldier as ill-tempered as his own weapon. The Britons
carried also a dirk and a spear, the latter of which they threw
at the foe, as an effectual means of pitching into him, &c."
In mentioning the victory achieved by Carausius, Mr.
a Beckett says that "the Roman eagles were put to flight,
and both wings of the imperial army exhibited the white
feather." Again in describing the advance of Agricola
across the Frith of Forth, our historian observes that he
(Agricola) " came opposite to Fife, which was played
upon by the whole of his band with considerable energy."
With such comical conceits we conceive this " History
of England" will achieve a solid good; it will impress
the facts of history upon the memory of the reader much
more vividly and pleasantly than any other abridgement,
not even excepting Oliver Goldsmith's.

THE FAMILY HERALD. Part XXXVII.

Among the penny periodicals this stands undoubtedly
at the very head, both for the quantity, merit, and pro-
priety of its literary contents. It is quite a microcosm
of tales, legends, and essays.

THE KNIGHT OF G WYNNE. No. VII. By

Charles Lever.
If this is not the pleasantest fiction ever written by
" Harry Lorrequer," it unquestionably contains the
pleasantest character' ever drawn by that redoutable
scribe. Bagenal Daly is beautifully conceived, and no
less beautifully described ; the mixture of conviviality,
generosity, eccentricity, daring, and independence in
this " fine old Irish gentleman" (whose disposition, we
are afraid, is solely " one of the olden time,") is most
happily managed. Bagenal Daly, for a travelling com-
panion and any road would prove agreeable. In
Number VII., the story is rather at a stand-
still ; it is almost entirely composed of preparations
for the removal of the Knight's family to a queer little
domain belonging to Bagenal, on the Antrim coast ; in
this said domain Daly's sister is first introduced to the
reader. Towards the conclusion of the last chapter,
when Maurice returns home to Gwynne Abbey, in the
midst of carousing, a capital contretemps is introduced,
and is cleverly illustrated by Hablot Browne.

THE FORTUNES OF TORLOGH O'BRIEN.

No. IV.

Whoever is the author of the tale of the wars of King
James 11., he will, in it, produce a better work than his
former novel of " The Cock and Anchor." The present
number is immeasurably superior to any that has
hitherto appeared ; the incidents are more startling, the
collyquies more spirited, and the composition altogether
of a higher character. Tisdal's interview with the black
guest of Drumgonnial is horribly well described, and
horribly well etched by Phiz ; the rather questionable
preservation of Glindarragh Castle from the Irish in-
surgents is brilliantly told ; and as Coloael Torlogh
O'Brien the hero, is brought more into the society of the
heroine, we may expect the interest of the narrative to
increase.

KNIGHT'S PENNY MAGAZINE. Vol. 11.
During the very protracted career of this publication
Mr. Charles Knight has shown himself an able and
accomplished editor ; but he never displayed his edi-
torial capacities to greater advantage than in the more
portable and elegant form in which this periodical is
now being issued. The second volume of the new
series is literally a bijou; interspersed with delicious
little embellishments from the pencil of Harvey, and
crammed full of meritorious and interesting literature.

OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE REVIEW.

Anxious, without doubt, for the continuance of the
acknowledged organ of that party with which his name
ha 3 become so intimately (and we may add so honour-
ably) associated, Lord John Manners is now periodically
throwing in the prestige of his title and the literary ad-
vantages of his talent as a contributor to the Oxford and
Cambridge Review. The historical ballads written by
the Noble Lord display very considerable glibness of
rhythm and a remarkable knowledge of the sccial con-
dition and politics of the remoter periods of English
history. No. 111. of this interesting series is upon
" Lord Strafford opening the Irish Parliament, July 14,
1634." Notwithstanding a certain exaggeration of style
in the philanthropy inculcated by the " New Generation,"
there is a peculiar beauty and earnestness about it into
the bargain. There is a touching simplicity of heart in
the hungering of love expressed by the Young En-
Landers for the olden days ; and, however extravagant
their love may be occassionally, we cannot but respect
the boldness wish which they avow their partialities.
As a specimen of the gentlemanly yet decisive tone in
which the new generation can advocate even a " lost
cause," and do so, moreover, very speciously and
cleverly, we may mention the dissertation in favour of
" The Country Party"---a dissertation suggested by the
Parliamentary speeches of Lord Stanley, the Marquis of
Granby, and Mr. Disraeli. We cannot fritter away
even a single moment in disclosing the sophisms of that
article, because those sophisms have been exposed by
reiteration usque ad nauseam, and because, moreover, we
believe in the veracity of the old saying, " None are so
blind as those who won't see!" But we must, in bidding
farewelll9 the disoutivie which have madly precedeci

And MASON'S-BUILDINGS, LIVERPOOL.
The SECOND QUINQUENNIAL BONUS (averaging 30 per cent.
on the premiums paid) has just been declared on the Life Policies
effected at this office prior to 1843, and the holders of them have the
option of a reduction in their future premiums, or an equivalent
amount added to the sum assured. The particulars in each case have
been furnished to the parties interested.

On all new Policies one half the premiums may remain on interest,
if required, for five years, and in the event of a death happening
within that period, the arrears then due will be deducted from ths
claim.

The Directors beg to remind their friends whose Fire Insurances
become due at Midsummer, that no extra charge is made for the
transfer of Policies; they may be effected for any period of time, and
if for seven years, the premium and duty will only be charged for six.

LOWE'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE.

The character of the renowned " Scottish preacher,"
John Knox, tested by his private correspondence, is
concluded in the present number. From the celebrity
of its subject it will attract much observation. As a
vehicle of literature this magazine proceeds with
ability, but as the exponent of a religious creed we are
sorry to observe that it mistakes abuse of other
Christians for an argument in favour of its own
polemical opinions. A mere rodomontade against
another religion tends only to the degradation of the
vituperator, and excites sympathy for the very cause
which he is anxious to render obnoxious Let the
editor of this publication never forget that the noblest
characteristic of Christianity is meekness and brotherly
love.

JOURNAL OF AGRICULTURE.
As decidedly the most useful paper in the Journal of
Agriculture for July, the " Farmer's Note Book," de-
serves especial mention. In this, the twelfth number of
the series, the comparative merits of manures are given;
also a collection of admirable memoranda respecting the
treatment of pigs ; notes upon the chemical nature of
grass and hay ; the best mode of manufacturing Cheshire
cheese ; and advice as to the cultivation of the filbert
nut. That paper alone is worth double the price of the
whole of this quarterly. There' is likewise a judicious
article on " Insurance Societies for Farm Stock," and a
kind of supplemental inquiry into the progress and
causes of the " Potato Disease." The number is par-
ticularly utilitarian.

THE COMIC HISTORY OF ENGLAND. No. 1.

_
By Gilbert Abbott a Beckett.
What possibly shall we say of this ? That it is the
very extravagance of comicality—that it is brim full,
and running over with fun—that its drollery is the
very excess of drollery, and its facetiousness the very
acme of facetiousness? Or shall we borrow a phrase
from the United States, and call it a "screamer ?" We
might do all this, and yet not convey a sufficient notion
of the performance of either Mr. I Beckett or Mr.
Leech. How, for example, shall we convey a notion of
the "Landing of Julius ecesar," as drawn by John
Leech—with the British barbarians seated on bathing
machines, and Caesar coming gallantly on shore on the
paddle-box of a steam-boat, himself attired in breast-
plate, tunic, hessianF, and a green frock-coat, a la Napo-
leon? or of the Druid having a quiet game of cricket
with Time, a bit of Stonehenge forming their wicket ?
As a specimen of the historian's style of narration, we
give the following :

" The swords of early Britons were made of copper,
and generally bent with the first blow, -which must have
greatly straitened their aggressive resources, for the
swords -thus followed their own bent, instead of carrying
out the intentions cf the persons using them. This pro-
voking pliancy of the material must often have made the
soldier as ill-tempered as his own weapon. The Britons
carried also a dirk and a spear, the latter of which they threw
at the foe, as an effectual means of pitching into him, &c."
In muntiming the victory achieved by Carausius, Mr.
Beckett says that "the Roman eagles were put to flight,
and both wings of the imperial army exhibited the white
feather." Again in describing the advance of Agricola
across the Frith of Forth, our historian observes that he
(Agricola) " came opposite to Fife, which was played
upon by the whole of his band with considerable energy."
With such comical conceits we conceive this " History
of England" will achieve a solid good; it will impress
the facts of history upon the memory of the reader much
more vividly and pleasantly than any other abridgement,
not even excepting Oliver Goldsmith's.

THEATRE.

It was expected that last evening Mademoiselle Rachel
would have made her debut in the character of Camille
in Corneille's tragedy of Horace. Mr. Mitchell, we
believe, was in anxious expectation of the arrival of
Madame Rachel until a late hour in the afternoon, when
he received information that she had been taken sud-
denly ill at Lille, where she was fulfilling an engage-
ment. This cruel disappointment was announced to the
public by the following placard, which was posted on the
door of the theatre.
" St. James's Theatre, Monday, July 6.
" Mr. Mitchell much regrets to announce that in con-
sequence of the
SUDDEN ILLNESS OF MADLLE. RACHEL,
the performances advertised for this evening must be
unavoidably deferred. The certificate announcing
Mademoiselle Rachel's illness is dated from Lille and
signed by

" M. MAILLOT, Medecin en Chef de
l'llopital de Lille.
" M. LEONARD, Docteur en Medicin
de la Faculto de Paris.

" And countersigned by
" M. PAILLARD, Maire de la Ville de Lille.
" The indulgence of the subscribers and the public
is in consequence respectfully solicited."
Mademoiselle Dejazet, and M. Lafont, were, how-
ever, at hand, and Mr. Mitchell was fortunately en-
abled to avail himself of their services. For the per-
formances advertised there were substituted Le Chevalier
du Gant, with Lafont and Cartigny. La Lisette de
Beranger, a scene acted by Mademoiselle Dejazet.
The second act of Genii! Bernard, with Mademoiselle
Dejazet, and M. Lafont, and the farce of Passé Minuit.
with Cartigny and Tourtois. Never did the several
artistes act better, and the audience seemed well pleased
that an opportunity bad been afforded them :of again
seeing the fascinating Dejazet in two of her favourite
characters. The illness of Mdlle. Rachel, and the con-
sequent extra representation of Mdlle. Dejazet last
evening, will cause no alteration in the performances an.
flounced for Mr. Mitchell's benefit on Wednesday, when
Mdlle. Dejazet will perform for the last time this
season.

NOTTINGHAM

SATURDAY EvErn:ca.—This morning the writ arrived, and
proclamation was made by the sheriff, Mr. Nathan Hurst,
who has appointed- Wednesday next, at ten o'clock in the
forenoon, for the nomination to take place. At present all
that is possibly known on the subject Is, that Sir John Cam
Hobhouse having accepted the office of President of the
Board of Control, a vacancy has occurred in the representa-
tion, and Sir John is the only candidate in the field. At
one o'clock to-day he issued his address.
Many people talk of an opposition, but the leaders of the
Tory party feel that as a body they are divided, and that
free-trade principles must prevail. On Monday evening
Sir John C. Hobhouse is expected to arrive in Nottingham,
and in the mean time his committee will take the most active
steps to secure his return. The great measures of the day
have done much to allay party feeling, and to cause the
electors to look upon the support of free trade as a para-
mount object. The protectionists here, as a body, know
and feel their insignificance, and do not even talk of a show
of opposition; and the Conservative party, being split, can-
not call a man to their aid.-

In the LIFE DEPARTMENT, a Bonus was declared in June
1829, exceeding ene per cent. per annum on the sums insured, on an
average of the different Ages ; and two subsequent divisions of nearly
equal amounts were made up to Christmas 1835 and Christmas 1842.
On an average of the three divisions the Reversionary Bonuses added
to the several Policies at the end of every seven years amounted to
about 27 per cent. on the total premiums paid thereon during those
seven years, and the whole amount of Bonuses allotted arthe three
Septennial divisions exceeded 530,0001.

Loans granted on Life Policies to the extent of their values' pro-
vided such l'olicies s',all have been effected a sufficient time to have
attained in each case a value not under 551.
In the FIRE DEPARTMENT, a Return of profit was declared
on the 4th of June, upon the premiums received on all Policies
which hael been in force seven years at Christmas 1844, and the same
is now in course of payment daily (Friday and Saturday excepted),
between the hours of ten and three o'clock, at the Head Office ; and
also by the Agents in the Country Districts.
Notice is hereby gi, en, that assurances which expire at Midsum-
mer Day must be renewed within fifteen days at this Office, or

7UNCTION.

Mr. Austin and Mr. Hildyard appeared for the promoters
of the Bill. lir. Cockburn, Mr. Talbot, and Mr. Whitmore
appeared for the Glasgow, Garnkirk, and Coatbridge Rail-
way Company, who petition against the Bill, on account of
'he line passing under their line, and taking a small
" private line," which they represented to be their pro
perty ; anel for the Caledonian Railway Company, who
petition, on account of their having purchased the Garnkirk
and Coatbridge Railway, and being about to amalgamate
with them by the powers of an Act now before this House.
The same counsel appeared for seven professors of the Glas-
gow University, who petitioned on the ground that the line
would take the University.
Mr. AUSTIN objected to the opposition on the part of the
University professors, on the ground that they did not pro-
perly represent the University.
After some discussion, the Committee decided that the
opposition was inadmissible.
Mr. AusTD/ then opened the case for the promoters of
the Bill, after which he proceeded to call
'Air. Delmore, the owner of several cotton factories in and
near Glasgow, who gave evidence very strongly in favour of
the line, especially with reference to the position of its ter-
minus (at Mile-end, Glasgow), which he said was in the
immediate neighbourhood of the Exchange—the centre of
business in Glasgow—and of the largest factories. There
would ba a coal depOt at Mile-end, which was also a great
advantage. There would be a considerable reduction in the
price of coal in consequence of the communication with the
coal districts which the line would open.
Mr. COCKBURN was here about to cross-examine the
witness, when

Mr. HILDYARD objected to his Learned Friend's appear-
ance, saying that as the proposed line, in passing under the
railway, did not touch the property of the company, the
latter had no locus standi.
_ _

Mr. CbcaisunTX-said the private line of railway pass-
ing under the Garnkirk and Coatbridge line, which would
be taken and lowered three feet by the company in making
their line, was in part the property of the Garnkirk and
Coatbl idge ' Company ; and, moreover, the latter
company, having been the promoters of a com-
peting scheme in. the House of Commons, had a right
to appear as suchqo oppose the Bill, even though their line
bad been thiown out by the Committee of the House of
Commons. He instanced the case of the Harwich and
Eastern Counties, in which case the Committee decided that
the opposition on the part of a competing scheme could be
admitted, though the line was thrown out in the Lower
House.

F. GILL, Chairman.
T. W. Fox, Esq., seconded the adoption of the report
which was moved by the Chairman, remarking that h was
the most satisfactory report that had been laid before the
shareholders since the formation of the company. After
other remarks he congratulated the proprietary upon the
fact that several of the schemes in which they have em-
barked, had been thrown out, for had Parliament as •
sented to all the undertakings which the South Devon
Company had engaged to assist, he very much doubted
whether they would have been able to raise the whole of
the money which would have been required in new
shares. He thought that now the Bank of England had
reduced their rate of interest to three per cent. the di-
rectors would certainly be enabled to obtain loans on
debentures at much less interest than they were now
called upon to pay. He begged to inquire when the
line would be opened to Newton, and also where the
Plymouth terminus would be situated, in the altered
position of the Cornwall line.
The CHAIRMAN replied, that the directors were afraid
to commit themselves to dates. Neither the engineer,
nor still less the directors, were able to state positively
when the line would be opened to Newton, as so much
depended) upon circumstances over which they had no
control. Their expectation, however, was that the
opening would take place in the early part of November.
They were now happily in possession of the disputed
land, which had been the cause of detention, and Waving
put a large number of men to work, they hoped
to open within the time mentioned. The permanent
way was indeed laid, almost up to tho very point. With
pivot to Sim other question put by. Mr. roz, ho might

FATAL ACCIDENT ON THE GRAVESEND AND ROCHES-
Tzrt RAILWAT.—On Friday afternoon W. Woodford, a plate-
layer employed on this line, lost his' life by the half-past
three o'clock up-train passing over him in the tunnel near
Rochester. It was the duty of the deceased, with others, to
examine the rails in the tunnel every time a train passed,
and he had clone so many hundreds of times.' While in the
tunnel on this occasion, the train approached, and the
whistle was blown as it entered the tunnel, about three-
quarters of a mile from the spot where the deceased was;
the deceased heard it, and asked his fellow-workmen what
train that was, and the latter having told him, went to pro-
cure a fresh candle, theirs being nearly burnt out ; he left
the deceased still at work. On returning he found the de-
ceased lying dead upon the rails, his head and both legs
being cut in two. He should have stepped to the side where
there is room to stand out of the way, and hold by the bar-
rier while the trains pass; lie had probably delayed it till too
late. He had a red light with him to exhibit if he wanted
to stop a train. The engine-driver did not feel the engine
pass over anything; the speed was 16 miles an hour. The
jury found a verdict of Accidental Death at the inquest held
on Saturday, and expressed their full conviction that the
accident did not occur through the negligence or mismanage-
ment of the superintendent or any other person connected
with the management of the line. The line was opened in
February, 1845, and this is the first accident that has oc-
curred
upon it.

NOTICES OF TIIE PRESS.

From the Mark-lane Express.—" The work now before us will be
appreciated by the professional man who is aware of the importance
of distinguishing between `irritative' and `inflammatory' action in
determining the course of treatment of disease. The author is of
opinion that the symptoms of the former are frequently mistaken for
the latter, sometimes even by experienced practitioners. Mr.
Franks does not content himself with asserting the fact, but pro-
ceeds to show, by argument. and demonstration, which appears to us
conclusive, that the position he assumes is correct. Having carefully
perused Mr. Franks% book, we can state with confidence, that it
ought to be read by every man, inasmuch as the Information it con-
tains may not only afford relief to the mind upon the appearance of
symptoms which are not really indicative of the disease supposed,
but may be the means of guarding the patient against the practices
of the unskilful and the empiric."
From Bell's Life in London.—" We recommend this little treatise
to those who, suffering under deserved penalties, wish to pay them
off as speedily and safely as possible, without having recourse to the
ruinous banks founded by, manslaughtering quacks."
From the London Mercantile Journal.—" Mr. Franks is evidently
an original thinker, and follows not the path of his predecessors in
treating the subject upon which he has written. There is a vast
amount of truth in his book. It is ignorance which often causes un-
happiness in the married state, and such a work as this may be the
means of displacing many of those serious heart-burnings and jea-
lousies which sever the peace of families."
