A NOVEL.
" The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could
hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic syinpathy la be-
half of kis heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired
by a high standard of morality and religion, an-1 by a laudable love
of the purest sort of fame. We gather this :rem the glowing lan-
guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions
on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in
which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays
on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha-
Tacterfhe nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he
has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Dtaraella, Mae.
Renee, and Smythes."—Observer.
"' 811wood' is no ordinary wcrk ' it contains passages of exceed.
ins beauty, and 15 written in pare nod forcible language, with great
good taste and power. It is one o. the meet interesting and en
Wittig novels which the present season has produced. Of the eh,.
fluter of Amelia Roes we have already spoken, and the extract we
have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have
said. The other ladles who play conspicuons parts in the tale are
llerance Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and
impost,e getting, passionately ton 1 01 music and Poetry ; and Julia
Maitland, the nobiest and best of them all."—Morning Post.

t,LECTRIC TELEGRAPH.—The secretary of the
Edinburgh Chamber of Commerce has received a communi-
cation from Sir George Grey acknowledging the receipt of
their memorial against monopoly in telegraphs, and stating
that-it has been referred to the Commissioners on Railways.
...Scottish Press, April 9.

need not be kept up to the same extent still. I have no
doubt that in making these seductions considerable other
reductions may be made in stores and other particulars.
But these redactions must be made with great caution,
and gradually from time to time. But these are ques-
tions to which the House of Commons ought not to lay
down any general rule or regulation. The questions
are to be decided from time to time, and although al-
ways under the supervision and control of this House, I
trust that supervision and control will be always exer-
eised with a view to maintain the possessions and defend
the integrity of this great empire, and not with a view
of diminishing them.—(Cheers.)
On the motion of Mr. HUME, the debate was ad-
journed, as we understood, till Tuesday next.
Mr. COWAN moved for leave to bring in a Bill to
regulate admission to the lay or secular chairs in the
universities of Scotland.
Sir G. CLERK objected to the motion, on the ground
that the hour was too late for discussing the question.
After some conversation,
Mr. COWAN withdrew the motion, and gave notice
that he would bring it forward on the Ist of May.
