by these delightful volumes. As a book of travels the work is
valuable for its descriptions of Syria, and the whole neighbourhood
of Mount Lebanon and Baalbce. We should have quoted largely
had we been dealing with s. book less certain of popularity.--

THE NEW NOVEL.
This day was published, in 3 vols. post Bvo.,
pL A NTAGENET.

" This is not, as might, perhaps, be inferred from the title, a tale
of the olden tune. No such thing. It is a picture, and a vivid
one, of recent and passing events. It treats of men and things be-
longing to our ONVII era, and though some of the leading characters
arc introduced to the reader under fictitious names, they may be
easily identified without a key. Whoever the author may be, he
can have no delicacy nor no apprehension about placing his name
on the title-rage of his next work, should it be at all equal to that
before us. he incidents and situations are sufficiently striking to
rivet the attention of the mere novel reader, whilst there is abun-
dance of moral and political reasoning to gratify those who seek for
graver matter."— Sunday Times.

PARLIAMENTARY PAPERS.

PUBLIC WORKS (IRELAND).

We have now before us the first Report from the Select
Committee appointed to inquire into the amount of advances
made by the Commissioners of Public Works in Ireland,
the regulations under which they were made, the purposes
to which they have been applied, and the amount of repay-
ments. The various Reports made on reclaiming Waste
Lands are also considered, and the extent to which compliance
with the reported suggestions of the Commissioners has been
carried.

LOANS.—When a loan is sanctioned by the Board of Works
and the Lords of the Treasury, in pursuance of the Act, ad-
vances are made on account of it ; Exchequer Bills to the
amount being handed to the party, who receives the premium
if any, arising on them.
The Board is authorized to lend money, with the sanction
of the Treasury, to Grand Juries, Public Bodies, Compa-
nies, and Individuals, for any of the following purposes :
Roads and Bridges, Harbours, Piers, Docks, Canals and
Railways, Mines and Quarries, Drainage. and Improvement
of Estates, Buildings, and other description of l'ublic Works.
And loans to individuals for drainage or other improve-
ment of estates (which are limited to cases where it shall be
proved to the Board that the works, when completed, will
increase the value of the land at least 101. per cent. on the
war:. proposed to b.: expended) are required to be repaid
within three years after the expiration of the period to be fixed
by the Board of Works for the completion of the improve-
ment, with interest, payable half-yearly, of not less than 51.
per cent. per annum. '
And the Commissioners are authorized to take personal se-
curity, as a collateral security, and also to make loans,
not exceeding 1,000/. for one work, on personal se-
curity alone, provided the parties shall have previously
expended, subscribed, secured or deposited, a sum equal
to one-half of the estimated cost of the proposed
work; such loans to be repayable within five years from the
advance thereof, of interest not less than Si. per cent per
annum, payable half-yearly. The total of loans on personal
security only cannot exceed 50,0001. at any one time.
The amount of Loans and Advances is 1,044,191/. 16s.
GRANTS.—In addition to the power of lending Exchequer
Bills to the amount of 500,000/. the Board of Works and
Lords of the Treasury are empowered by the Act to make
grants in aid of the construction of roads and bridges, and of
small harbours, piers, and quays, on the sea-coast, to the
amount of 50,000/. out of the Consolidated Fund.

It appears that the expenses of the Board exceed 5,0001.
a-year. The Reports on Reclaiming Waste Lands is full of
interest on this subject.
The Committee on Public Works in Ireland recommend,
that if a tenant for life shall expend the amount of two years'
rent in improving his lands, he shall have the power of charg-
ing it upon the entail, provided the money be expended under
the sanction of the Board of Works, and under the approval of
a Master in Chancery.
It is impossible to read the Report we have summarily no-
ticed without feeling that much individual good, at least, has
been the result of the money lent to Ireland by our Govern..
ment. We are aware that many persons object, on principle,
to such Government aids—with how much or how little of
justice we shall not now determine. Their objections may be
shortly stated, thus :—They object to the advance of the public
money, and the employment of the public resources for the
alleged exclusive benefit of Irish landlords, who ought them-
selves, at their own expense, to perform those works which
are for the improvement of their own estates. They describe
the Loan to Ireland as a tax on England. They'deny that
England receives such aid; and assert that the wheels of im-
provement, incessantly progressing throughout England, are
moved, not by Government Loans, but individual enterprise
and individual labour—that a Board of Works too is objec-
tionable, on the ground of its expensiveness—that Govern-
ment should seldom grant loans of the public money. These
and some other exceptions are taken by the objectors.
