THE WIFE AND WOMAN'S REWAItD.—In the
beautiful tale of " Woman's Reward," by the Honourable
Mrs. Norton, the true and highly sustained character of
Lionel Dupre is a matserpiece of delineation, and a study
for the novelist. This work we believe to be the first of
Mrs. Norton 7s prose compositions, and we may fairly con-
gratulate her on its success : it evinces talents which must
place her among the best modern writers of instructive
fiction.

It appears that on Sunday Admiral de Rigny was
considered in danger, but is now somewhat better, although
not so much so as to give positive confidence in his reco-
very. His complaint is au inflammation of the chest, ren-
dered more complicated by the gout in his stomach.

A curious circumstance occurred at Chichester in
the evening of Sunday se'nnight. Many persons are in the
habit of coming from various parishes i❑ the neighbour-
hood, to attend public worship at the Providence Chapel,
in the West-lane ; and it so happened that on the evening
above mentioned, in consequence of the inclemency of the
weather, as many as four or five-and-twenty were compelled
to remain all night in Chichester. Some were accom-
modated with beds in the house attached to the chapel,
occupied by the officiating Minister ; the rest took shelter
in the .chapel.—Brighton Gazette.
BOURRIENNE'S MEMOIRS OF NAPOLEON.-Mr.
Bentley announces an edition of this celebrated and most
entertaining work, in One Shilling Weekly Parts (the first
part to appear next Saturday, Nov. 7), and to be completed
in twenty-four parts. Bourrienne was at the Emperor's
side when the recorded transactions actually occurred : he
was the very shadow of the one great figure, beholding the
events evoked by it, as they swept by in the living splen-
dour of their pageant—not merely hearing of them at second
hand, after they had passed away. Bourrienne was Napo-
leon's secretary and adviser, and by him has been given to
the world this memoir, which must ever remain unriviiilled
in the fulness and undoubted truth of its details. In Bour-
riennes' pages are disclosed, not only the secret motives out
of which Napoleon's most gigantic projects arose, but his
private affairs, and conversations on all points of interest ;
and this, be it remembered, while his mild was in its full
elasticity and vigour, before his great reverses and exile had
broken his energies. The present re-publication of this
work, in a cheap and periodical form, cannot but. be welcome
to English readers, in every gradation of life, especially
when the numerous illustrative anecdotes and notes, by
which the edition will be characterised, are taken into con-
sideration. These are all derived from contemporary autho-
rities, and eye-witnesses oi,:many of the transactions re-
corded.
