THE ECLECTIC.

The Eclectic Review has commenced a new series
and is somewhat enlarged and improved. Among
the most interesting literary articles are those on
" VVuthering Heights," " Lord Carlisle and Alex-
ander Pope," and " Popular Rhymes and Nursery
Tales."

851: or, The Adventures of Mr. and Mrs. Sand-
boys. Part 1. By Henry Mayhew and George
Cruikshank.

What with a subject like the year of the Great
Exhibition, a fantastic writer like Henry Mayhew,
and an illustrator like our glorious George Cruik-
shank, we may expect some fun in the progress of
this comic periodical. The story opens merrily
enough. As to the frontispiece to the future volume,
it is what Cruikshank alone could hare pencilled.
" All the World going to see the Great Exhibition of
1851." It reminds us somewhat of an etching pro-
duced by the same hand some few years ago in
Cruikshank's Omnibus, under the literary editorshi
of poor Lamm Blanchard. " Looking for Lodgings"
is a right humorous morseau, and the cover of the
monthly part is commendable, with its ludicrous
conceit of the world blowing its own trumpet.

LOUDON'S ENCYCLOPcEDIA OF GAR-
DENING. Ten Parts. Longrnans and Company.
ith the tenth instalment just issued from the
press :he present (the last and the best) edition of Mr.
Loudon's celebrated Encyclopedia of Gardening has
been terminated. From the high reputation enjoyed
by the encyclopaedist, and from the well•knewn me-
rits of the work itself, we feel that further comment
is unnecessary than that the reprint has been through-
out most carefully corrected and improved by. Mrs.
Loudon, that lady having employed her editorial
powers with a hand at once bold and judicious.

THE DALTON'S. Parts to X. By Charles

Lever.
Harry Lorrequer, herd as he has galloped over the
realms of fiction, is yet far from jaded, but still con-
trives to run a merry chase over the fields of imagi-
nation. " Phis" is scarcely doing his present story of
" The Daltons" justice with his etched embellishments.
Although the work has reached the middle of the
volume, the tale itself still admits of very considera-
ble development. More frequent incidents are, of late
especially, becoming rather desirable.

of the
parishes was held at the Marylebone Court-house, for
making final arrangements for the deputations to the Chan-
cellor of the Exchequer in reference to the total and imme-
diate repeal of the window-tax. Mr. J. A. Nicholay pre-
sided. Delegates from most of the parishes were present, as
was also Lord Duncan, M.P. The chairman said he had re-
ceived letters from Sir 13. Hall, M.P. ; Lord Dudley Stuart,
M.P. ; Mr. Wyld, M.P. • Mr. Mowatt, M.P. ; Mr. Lusbing-
ton, M.P.; Sir J. Duke, M.P. ; Sir De Lacy Evans, M.P. ;
and Mr. Williams, M.P., who would meet them with a
numerous deputation from Lambeth. The chairman then
stated what had been done in many parishes, and showed
that a universal feeling existed against the tax. He
hoped the deputations would go to the Chancellor of
the Exchequer with a firm demand for an uncon-
ditional repeal. Mr. H. C. Wilson having made some
observations, Lord Duncan addressed the meeting, and con-
gratulated them on the prospect of success in their endea-
vours. The tax was not only viciousin principle but unjust
and unequal in its consequences. He had received letters
Iron Bath and ether places requesting him to fight the battle
of the repeal of the tax. He should tell the .Chancellor of
the Exchequer he bad a very large surplus in hand, and he
had better repeal the tax. if a deficit should arise he was
sure the Chancellor of the Exchequer would know how to
supply it. Petitions were prepared from important principal
, towns—via., Oxford, Peterborough, Bath, Bristol, Ports-
' mouth, Sunderland, and other places, and he had no doubt
but that this time repeal would be secured. Resolutions
were then passed as to the mode in which the deputations
I should wait upon the Chancellor, and in reference to the pro-
ceedings when before him, which having been arranged, a
vote of thanks was passed to the chairman and the meeting
terminated.
