MR. BULWER'S NEW RomANcE.—lllustrating all
the varieties of human character that his former works have
illustrated. " The Last Days of Pompeii' combines these
with greater completeness in one effect. It is in its essence a
drama. The vortex, as it were, of one interest draws every
passion in the book into itself. There are many actors, but
only one action. There are many motives and Many powers,
but to one purpose all are moulded. In its construction as a
work of art, in its general keeping, its trouble, and its repose,
it is the most masterly production that we have read for years.
We question, indeed, whether in this respect it has ever been
equalled. Rembrandt never flung light and shade into one
great effect with a pencil more true and fatal. When we use
the term art, we mean, of course, that which in its highest
form realizes nature ; for the natural, as we said at first, is the
great charm of the book. It opens with a startling air of
reality."—Examiner.

JUDICIOUS APPOINTMENT.—SO the Marquis of
Londonderry is to be appointed Ambassador to the Court of
St. Petersburg I This speaks a volume of the prudence and
wisdarn of the Wellington government. Should any circum-
stance arise of an intricate or important character between this
country and the restless and intriguing Court of Russia, we
shall then indeed haVO an Ambassador capable of combating
with and surmounting all difficulties. The Pozzi di Borgos,
the Metternichs, and all other diplomatists, will be astonished
with this appointment ; but let us hope that it will not create
jealousy and alarm among the suspicious powers of the Conti-
nent. At Vienna, when Ambassador—
