LADY PONSONBY'S NEW WORK, " CLARE ABBEY.
tbis story (says the John Bull) the talented author of
The Discipline of Life" has displayed all that power of
-painting the passions of the human heart, and the hard
struggles between inclination and duty, of which her former
'work gave such ample proof. The sufferings of the noble,
:unselfish Reginald Vere, the severe self-discipline to which
;Ernest de Grey has to subject his impressible yet powerful
nature, and the conflicts which the heart of Camilla has to
:sustain befcre it finds rest in) the enjoyment of a purified
affection, after casting off the drops of wild and wayward
psssiou, impart to the tale a fascinating interest, while its
lofty moral tendency raises it above the ordinary level of
works of fiction. " Clare Abbey" is decidedly one of the
most succeisful, one of the most attractive, and at the same
time one of the most high-toned novels of the season."

Caudwell, a money lender, was charged before the Rev. the
Tice-Chancellor and Dr. Wynter, two magistrates of the
county of Berks, with wilfully and maliciously wounding
Mr. Alexander Henry Ross, 8.A., of Christ Church. It
appears that early that morning Mr. Ross, and some of his
companions, resorted to the house of Mr. Caudwell, which
stands on Follow-bridge, and is in Berkshire, and, in a frolic,
attempted to throw several pieces of cannon, standing in
front of his house, over the wall into the Isis, but while iu the
act of trying to do so, Mr. Caudwell was aroused, and, having
opened a window, 'without saying a word, he deliberately
fired a blunderbuss at Mr. Ross. A portion of the shot struck
him on the neck, ear, and hand, the latterof which is very
much injured. Evidence of the facts having been given, and
Mr. Mansard, surgeon, stating that he considered Mr. Rosa
seriously wounded, so much so that he could not certify that
be was out of danger, as, from the nature of the wound in
his hand, look-jaw might be the result, the magistrates re-
manded the defendant for a week, and the same evening he
suns conveyed to Abingdon Gaol by the University Marshal
and the Inspector of the University police.
