REVIEW OF TIII WORK.

La'Mert en the Infirmities oifouthalTdlatnrity.—" There are
scenes in the drama of life which are acted with no spectator but
Conscience ; and of these the result is ever disastrous. Happy the
mortal who meets with a timely mentor to snatch him from the gulf
into which such scenes must plunge him I In the book before as
such a monitor is to be found, calculated to warn and instruct the
erring, without impairing one idea that can vitiate a mind not al-
ready tutored by the vices of which it treats. It is written in a style
of masterly precision and lucidity, blending the profoundest truths of
philosophy and physics with the loftiest precepts of morality. It is a
production calculated to confer a vital benefit, physically and morally,
upon all who are tempted from the rigid path of abstemiousness and
propriety. A father may trust it in the hands of his boy. By un
taught innocence the book is not, of course, needed ; but wherever
laxity has prevailed, the tender yet awful voice breathing in these
pages is likely to prove as strikingly beneficial as the admonitions of
a homily blended with the practical advice of a writer on medicine."

CARSON'S ORIGINAL ANTI-CORROSION
N....) PAINT. specially patronised by the British and other Govern-
ments, the Hon. East India Company, the principal Dock Corn-
panics, most public bodies, and by the nobility, clergy, and gentry,
for out-door work at their country seats. The ANTI-0011110.7;ION
is particularly recommended as the mostdurable out-door paint ever
iiveated for the preservation of every description- of iron, wood,
stone, brick, comp*, cement, &c., work, as has been proved by the
practical test of upwards of 60 years. and by the numerous testi-
monials (between 300 and 400) in its favour, and which, from the
rank and station in society of those who have. given them, have
perhaps never yet been equalled by anything of the kind hitherto
brought before the public notice.

Mr. James Bancks (Conservative), Mr. James Helkin
(Conservative), and Mr. J. Tait (Conservative).
BRISTOL.—On Wednesday the annual election of town
councillors took place, and was marked by a total ab-
sence of all excitement, and presented a strange con-
trast to the scenes witnessed on former occasions. In
most of the booths the polling was over at the end of the
hour allowed by law, and the aldermen and assessors,
relieved from their ail but solitary ditties, shut up their
books, and sent their voting boxes to the council-house,
glad to be freed from a task unenlivened by any of the
fun that is usually to be met with on election days. The
following is a list of the councillors returned :—Bed-
minster, R. Phippen, Esq.; Bristol, J. G. Shaw, A. Alex-
ander, Arthur Hare Palmer ;* Clifton, Charles Wait,
W. /I. G. Langton,* C. Warde, R.N. ;* District, 11.
Pritchard ;* Redcliffe, C. Hare, T. Powell; St. Augus-
tine, T. Powell, F. W. Green ; St. James, W. Hera-
gath ; St. Michael, O. Coathupe; St. Paul, 11. 0. Willi;
St. Philip, H. Visger. Those marked thus (*) are new
members. Though there was no party feeling in any of
the elections, it may be stated as a fact, that the Liberals
gain two by the elections, viz., Mr. Palmer and Mr.
Langton.—Bristol Gazette.
CANTERBURY.—These elections took place on Wed-
nesday. In Northgate Ward matters were very quiet,
the two retiring councillors, Messrs. Holland and Sneller

of the Whigs in respect of Westgate, and in the Con-
servatives in respect of Dane John Ward. Mr. E.
Southeeleaving retired from Westgate, Mr. Chipperfield
announced himself for the vacancy—Mr. Walker for re-
election. Beside these Mr. Avann and Mr. Welby
started at the last moment. And in the Dane John
Ward there were four candidates, there being a seve
rence between the retiring councillors, Messrs. Sladden
and Goodwin, the former taking for a coadjutor Mr. T.

ing is the result:—Dane John Ward: Goodwin, 202;
