From a report published by the official organ in
Germany, it appears that the annual sale of books in that
country amounts to 21,500,000 francs (860,0001.) About
40 years ago Germany contained only 300 bookselling es-
tablishments ; in 1833 the number had increased to 1,094.
In valuing the population of the different circles of the Con-
federation at 38,266,000, we may reckon one library to
122,222 'inhabitants ; while in Prussia the proportion is 1 to
33,899. In France, the number of literary productions,
which quadrupled itself from 1814 to 1826, increased two-
fold from 1826 to 1828. At this period the number of works
published in France was 7,616 ; in 1830, 6,739 ; in 1831,
6,063 ; and in 1833, 7,011. In England, the commercial
value of literary works amounted, in 1828, to the sum of
334,4501., and in 1833 to 415,300/. ; and adding to this the
amount of daily and weekly papers, reviews, and magazines,
the general sale of English literature in 1833 may be esti-
mated at the large sum of 2,420,9001. sterling.
HUMANITY AND BRAVERY.—New Romney,
Friday, Oct. 2.—lt has pleased Almighty God to crown
the efforts of Lieutenant Somerville, of the Coast Guard,
Littlestone, this morning, at six a. m., in saving the lives of
five men and one boy from the wreck of the Industry, of
Sunderland, with coals, bound to Shoreham. She came
on shore in a most tempestuous gale of wind from S.S.W.
This gallant officer launched his boat and pulled off to her,
when he was fortunate enough to take, the people off the
wreck, making them lay down carefully in the bottom of
the boat. The sea was running mountains high. When
near the beach the boat upset, and they were all washed
out of her, but, receiving assistance from the Coast Guard,
who were judiciously arranged along the beach by Lieute-
nant Simmons, of 27 tower, they were all dragged safely
to the beach. On the 24th of January, 1834, Lieutenant
Somerville saved eight men from the wreck of the Konrad,
Dutch East Indiamen, from Batavia to Rotterdhm, for
which he recieved thanks from the Royal Humane So-
clay. I hope his services will receive from the proper
% quarter some substantial acknowledgment—Morning Paper.
