LITERATURE.

MAKANNA-3 VoLs. LoNDoN, 1884.

T ;ere are considerable powers of description
in this tale, and some ambitious displays of cha-
racter, particularly in the half-savage, half-civi-
lized prophet and enthusiast Makanna, who is
drawn with skill and vigour. But there is also
not a little absurdity in the work, especially in
the third volume, where the author makes one
man stare an alligator out of countenance, and
another, a hippopotamus. Now an achievement
like this might do very well for Baron Mun-
chausen, or that equally veracious traveller,
Captain Lemuel Gulliver, but it is out of place
in a work like the present, which professes to
illustrate, in a sober spirit of truth, the manners,
customs, &c., of some of the more savage and
native tribes of Southern Africa. However,
the tale has its merits, which are chiefly of a
descriptive character. The sketch of a swamp
in the heart of an African forest, is as graphic
as any thing in Cooper's Pioneers.

YOUNG MUSCOVITE. 3 VOLS.
LONDON, 1834.
The author of this work is, it seems, Mi-
chael Zakosken, a gentleman of rank and in-
fluence at the Court of St. Petersburgh. The
tale, having been exceedingly popular in Russia,
and, in particular, a great favourite with the
present Emperor Nicholas, was translated into
English about three years since, by a Russian
lady and her daughters, and sent over here for
publication ; accompanied by a most flattering
dedication to the " Author of Waverley." One
thing or other has prevented its appearance till
now, when it comes forth with all the advan-
tages of a careful revision—for without wishing
to disparage the Russian translator's English,
we have no doubt it must have been pretty
plentifully besprinkled with solecisms—by
Captain Chamier, author of that highly
esteemed work, the " Life of a Sailor." We
have read the " Young Muscovite" with some
attention, and, if we except a few inconsistencies
in point of character, have been pleased with it.
Fite original author has evidently read the
Scotch novels with attention, and derived many
useful hints for the conduct of his plot, from
them. The time of his story is laid about the
middle of the 17th century, when the Russian
monarchy was in a sad state of disorganization,
I
occasioned by the pretensions of not less than
four successive impostors to the throne.

DEATH OF TFIE RIGHTHON.C.P.YORKE.--.
Died the night before last, at his residence in Bruton..
street, Berkeley.square, the Right Hon. Charles Philip
Yorke, second son of the late, and half-brother to the
present Right Hon. the E rl of Hardwicke, one of his
Majesty's Privy Councillors, one of the Tellers of the Ex.
chequer, F.R. and S.A., &c., and heir presumptive to
the title and family estates of the Earl of Hardwick...
The deceased, who was in the 70th year of his age, had
been declining for the last four months, and had arrived
at his town residence only a few days ago for the ben fit
of medical advice. He sat for many years in the House
of Commons as one of the members for Reigate, and was
formerly one of the junior lords of the Admiralty. He
married a daughter of Charles Manningham, Esq , and
(we believe) has left no issue. By h+ death the situation
of one of the Tellers of hi+ Majesty's Eseheqwr becomes
taunt—the sal ay of which, we believe, is aoout 4.0001.
per annum. The Win- Capt. Yorke. by his uncle's de
mitre, becomes heir presumptive, we learn, to the Earldom
of Hardwirke.

THE EAST INDIA COMPANY AND THE
TEA TRADE.-Yesterday, at the conclusion of the day's
sale, several letters were real relative to she b-as which
were sold on Wednesday and Friday last to Mr. Travers,
st the upset price. It appeared, that on the 12th of
Maich the directors addressed a letter to Mr. Travers,
stating that, under the circumstances connected w.th the
sale on Wednesday and Friday, they were advised that the
sale was, volt, and they, therefore, called upon him to re-
linquish
up
for
the teas. Mr. Travers, in reply, said his last
thought was an unreasonable individual profit, and he re-
nounced all claim to the teas, but solely on the ground of
cl
satisfactionre-sale buyers of tea throughout the kinedotn. The teas in ques-

THE HAMILTONS.—In this delightful
novel, by the authoress of " Mothers and Daughters," the
power of contrast is displayed in a manner as wonderful as
it is pleasing. Imbued with all the sweet weaknesses of
humanity, one character is made in its very helplessness,
quite angelic, another in the majesty of its strength,
almost divine.- Perhaps never were two characters more
opposed, yet more interesting, each in its individual excel-
lence, than the two sisters of this beautifully written tale.
Every female should study these portraits, and according
to the bias of her character, tike the one or the other for
a model.

The series of works entitled " The Standard
Noyes and Romances," now publishing in monthly vo-
lumes, is certainly the cheapest periodical of the day.
Each volume, generally containing an entire novel, only
costs 6s. Whatever is rich and rare in the productions of
the most gifted of recent writers of fiction may be found
in this interesting collection. These cheap prints appear
with the advantage of careful revision, aid illue rove
notes by the several authors, at less than one-fifth of their
original price. An additional recommendation will be
f ernd in the clever embellishments by which the volumes
are accompanied. Let us add that the " Standard Novels
and Romances" now contain the justly popular works of
Cooper, Bultver, Miss Austen, 'I heo lore Ho9k, Victor
Hugo, hire. Shelley, Mrs. Brunton, Godwin, the Misses
Lee, Gal', the Misses Porter, Banim, Madame de Stael,
Schiller, Mrs. Inchbald, &c. In the writings of these
authors may be found every style and class of novels yet
known, fwm the high-wrought picture of heroism and
adventure to the most familiar delineations of doinestc life
and sallies of langhter•exciting humour. The philosopher
will find in them food for rumination, and the young and
ardent lie charmed by the deep interest and striking
incidents developed in their attractive pages. " The
Standard .`novels" are, therefore, a luxury for all. They
are necessary to every well-appointed library.
