THE NEW HISTORICAL ROMANCE, " OT-
TERBOURNE."--.“ The Battle of Otterbourne is an ex-
cellent subject for an Historical Romance. Its interest is
more than usually national, inasmuch as the opponents of
the English its that hard-foughten field were inhabitants
of the same island, people owning a like origin with our-
selves, and speaking, with but slight difference, the same
Saxon tongue. In the border-feuds, therefore, between
the English and Scotch, the old saying, < When Greek
meets Greek, then comes the tug of war,' was strictly ap.
plicable, and, perhaps, no conflicts in modern times, were
more fertile than these in stirring incidents, chivalrous
deeds, feats of individual prowess, or in all the circum-
stances of war in which romance delights to dwell. The
author of this very striking story, is destined to occupy
a distingushed place as an historical novelist.".—Morning
Post.

DR. JOHNSON.—The. following original
picture of the personal appearance of Dr. JOHNSON, at an
advanced period of life, is from the pen of Madame
n'AaBLA v, in her recent life of her father, Dr. BURNEY.
He is, indeed, very ill-favoured; yet he has naturally a no-
ble figure, tall, stout, grand, and authoritative; but he
stoops horribly; his back is quite round ; his mouth is
continually opening and shutting, as if he were chewing
something ; he has a singular mode of twirling his fingers
and twisting his hands ; his vast body is in constant agi-
tation, see-sawing backwards and forwards; his feet are
never a moment quiet ; and his whole great pers,m often
looks as if it were going to roll itself, quite voluntarily,
from his chair to the floor."

The attempt at raising a new loan for
Russia, which was mentioned a few days back as having
failed at the west end of the town, is now understood to be
transferred to the city—a much more suitable spot for
such an enterprise, but with little, if any, better prospects
of success. The houses of the first class in the city of
London, those of ROTHJCHILD and BARING, for example,
are already too deeply embarked in Russian securities to
engage in a contract for a new loan, which, with what-
ever pretext put forth, would be liable to the strongest
suspicion, if not the certainty, of a warlike object. If
would be to those houses probably more injurious
to assist in such a project, by the consequences
it would have on their other investments, than any
gain by the contract itself could compensate for.
They would require explicit assurances, or pledges,
from the Russian Government that war was not in the
most distant way contemplated; and even then the
terms they could with safety offer would be highly
unfavourable, and suited to that risk of a general war
which every man feels to exist. Thus the Russian Go-
vernment, if really requiring such loan for a pacific pur-
pose, would find it so much for its interest to wait till the
affair of Holland and Belgium is disposed of, that the very
pressing it now would carry with it the suspicion of bad
faith in that respect. If the raising money for a warlike
purpose were really the object in view, there would exist
a much better chance of success by openly declaring it, as
the contract would then be taken, if at all, at what is
termed a war price, and the contractor would be enabled
to speculate on the chances that war might, after all,
be avoided. To houses of the second class the manage-
ment of such a loan is out of the question, sod alto-
gether it may be safely affirmed that the attempt to
raise a Russian loan in the city has no better chance ut
success than it bad among the west•and bankers and ca•
pi talists.
