CIIEA P ERATURE.—A new OditiG2l of Mr.
Bulwer's famous proJuction " Pelham, or the Adventures
of a Gentleman," is, we I:7rceive, announced for publication,
to be completed in six weei2y Numbers, price only Ono
Shilling each. The work, it seL'ms, is to be illustrated with
a Portrait of the Author, and three other engravings.
Just before his decease, the great northern Novelist ex-
pressed his high admiration of Mr. Bulwer's genius, and
predicted that his writings would become universally popu-
lar. This prediction is about to be fulfilled ; Pelham, in
its present cheap form, will be accessible to thousands who
have yet had no opportunity of enjoying its perusal,
Mn. GREEN'S BALLOON.—It appears the late
trip of Mr. Green, mentioned by us last week, produced at
the neighbouring village of Stanstead Mountfitchet
similar
effects. That " little spot" of quiet and repose (gentle
Stanstead), shortly after nine o'clock on the eventful even-
ing, was thrown into disorder by the daring voyager. It
appears that the village blacksmith's wife at the time uttered
loud cries of " The world's at an end." After she had been
tranqualized she gave the following account Just before
going to bed, she opened tile door to look out, and the
candle in her land suddenly was extinguished, when the
clouds opened, aid 1;. voice from onp who descended upon
her exclaimed, Where am I?' Foctunately there were
those near who succeeded dispelling the poor woman's
delusion. Mr. Green's height here was not above one
hundred feet from the ground. On Thursday evening last,
a singular scene occurre in Hockeril-street, .at this place.
About nine o'clock, " Confusion worse confounded" pro-
claimed that the " Comet was coming down"—" The gas
was blowing up"—" The world's at an end"—and so on.
It happened that the Honourable J. Hook, who had just
ordered two pa'rs of horses at the Crown Inn, and was
waiting for the second carriage to come up to give some or-
ders, made himself most praiseworthily active in quelling
the fears of the timid, by assuring them that it was Mr.
Green's balloon that had that evening ascended at Vauxhall.
Mr. Green; in his late trip to Lynn, passed over the upper
part of this street, and his light, with some kind of small
firework he threw out (probably to attract), had caused
the uproar. It appears he was sailing very low, but in high
spirits, as he could afrord to be witi.v. " What county am
lin ?" inquired Le. The Honourable Gentleman answered,
" Hertfordshire, but you will directly be in Essex. Why
don't you descend Y' " Because I can't," said he, " I wish
I could." Mr. Hook said he had seen =lay balloons, par-
ticular in Japan and China, whose inbabitantJexcel in making
• them, but he never saw one progress so slowly. His height
here was about 90 feet above the houses.—Essar Standard.

'.Y'EMALE EMIGRATION.—On Thursday a steam-
packet c..inveyed. 250 emigrants, 220 of Whom were females,
down to Lira; ,send, to embark on board the Boadicea, on
their way to Ho..''att -Town, Van -Diemen's Land. The
morning was most pr,: Winans, and the young women thus
adventuring into an al-m,st new existence, bore up against
the uncertainty of their fuu:re fate with a fortitude which
would do credit to there who are ;,leased to style themselves
the superior sex. Some with whom N,e, conversed bad a
notion that they were going amongst canO)als ; but, either
from the love of change, or domestic comfort., they appeared
resolved to run the hazard. It was hard to sa;',
various statements, whether the yes avgusta . from their
doeil or the
alieni appetens was. the moving cause. A great Dumber
were Irish, and of these the principal portion were accus-
tomed to agricultural labour. This class of emigrants, like the
weather, alternated between tears and smiles ; but when they
ascertained during their voyage down the river that agricul-
turalservants were the most valuable in the new colony they
not only appeared reconciled to their situation, but assumed
an air of mastery. The Scotch were cool, collective, and ob-
servant. The English, whilst on board the steam-packet,
seemed perfectly at home and easy, but when drafted on
board appeared as if they bad given up their all. The at-
tention of Mr. Marshall (the agent) deserves particular
notice, and- the manner in which the poor creatures en-
trusted to his care showed their sense of his kindness
proved that blandness of manner was not adapted " for the
nonce." The Boadicea is a noble vessel, and will afford
- more than the usual accommodation. We left its interest,
ing freight about half-past three. They passed on to the
world of waters, we to " the wen." An excellent dinner
was provided under the superintendence of Mr. Clifton, of
Jury-street, Aldgatc, who acted as steward. Many loyal
toasts were drank, and some attacks made upon Mr. Mar-
shall (the agent of the Emigration Committee) by Dr.
Lung, proprietor of a newspaper at Sydney, were ably met
and rebutted. The highest testimony was borne by the
Chairman and other members of the Committee who were
present, to the manner in which Mr. Marshall performed
his arduous and delicate duties.
