CAPTAIN MEDWIN'S NEW WORK.

In 2 vols. Bvo., with numerous Engravings by Landseer,
THE ANGLER IN WALES.
By CAPTAIN MEDWIN,

Author of " Conversations of Lord Byron."
" This is the book for a summer day. Endless anecdotes are
here threaded together. It is impossible to convey an adequate
idea of the thousand and one topics which form this mingled dish
of tutti frutti.' "—Literary Gazette.
" Abounding with descriptions of Welsh angling, landscapes of
all kinds, and anecdotes of Byron, Shelley, &c.' "—Spectator.
" Every page in Captain Medwin's book furnishes some piscatory
incident of a striking nature. No angler should be without these
volumes."— Sunday Times.
Richard Bentley, 8, New Burlington-street.

Second Edition, Price ss.
ACIRCUMSTANTIAL NARRATIVE of the
WRECK of the ROTHSAY CASTLE Steam-packet.
Illustrated by engravings, copious notes, &c.
By JOSEPH ADSHEAD.

" Those who desire to posess a durable and faithful account of
one of the most melancholy catastrophes of modern times, will find
this narrative deserving a place in their libraries."—Manchester

Courier.

" The style of the narrative is ohaste, perspicuous, and in every
respect worthy of the solemnity of the subject. The sentiments
are such as breathe the most lively spirit of high wrought Christian
feeling. The volume is entitled to more than ordinary attention."
—Dublin Freeman's Journal.

" The melancholy details of that distressing event are given with
unaffected eloquence and pathos. We can conscientiously recom-
mend the work to the favourable notice of our friends."--Notting-
ham Journal.

MUD VOLCANOES IN TRINIDAD.--The largest
is about one hundred and fifty feet in diameter, and has boiling
mud constantly bubbling, but never overflowing, remaining al-
ways within the surface of the crater. When the old craters
cease to act, new ones invariably appear in the vicinity. Some
of the mud volcanoes throw out salt water, heavily loaded
with argillaceous earth ; and during the hottest months of the
dry season, cold mud is thrown to the height of thirty feet,
and the volcano is unapproachable to within fifty paces._
History of the British Colonies.
ENTERTAINMENT FOR ALL CLASSES.—Among
the cheap publications of the day, the " Standard Novels and
Romances," published by Mr. Bentley, unquestionably take
the foremost rank. At one-fifth of the original cost, the most
esteemed works of fiction of the present century, enriched by
numerous illustrative notes, now first added, are presented to
the public, printed in neat pocket volumes, after the plan of
the Waverley series, and similarly embellished. We are not
acquainted with so delightful a source of enjoyment to every
one. The sea stories of Cooper, as well as his tales illustra-
tive
of American life and manners—the delightful pictures of
society in our own country, by Miss Austen, Mrs. Brunton,
and Mrs. Inchbald—the inimitable analyses of the human cha-
racter of the English sage, Godwin—the humourous and comic
delineations of Hook and Galt—the splendid story of " Eugene
Aram," by that master-spirit of the age, Bulwer, are intro-
duced in conjunction with the highly popular novels of Miss
Porter and the Misses Lee. The works of illustrious foreign
writers—such as the " Corinne" of Madame de Stael, and the
" Notre Dame de Paris," of Victor Hugo--likewise find a
place in this collection. Hereis surely variety of amusement,
ay, and valuable information too, for all classes of readers.
The publisher cannot be too highly commended for leaving it
to the option of the purchaser to select any one work, which
is so arranged as to be completed in itself, without reference
to the other volumes. On account of the extraordinary at-
tractions of the " Standard Novels and Romances," we are
not surprised to find that upwards of 250,000 volumes have
already been circulated. The Rev. Mr. G
leig's " Country
Curate" is comprised in the new volume just issued to the
public.

The Commissioners afterwards appointed Edwin Chadwick, Esq ,
of the Inner Temple, Barrister-at-Law, to be the Secretary to the
Commission.
