A NOVEL. 0 0 D.
"The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could
hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
half of his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired
by a high standard of morality and religien, and by a laudable love
of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan-
guage i which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions
en the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in
which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays
matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha-
r asterisenatnre's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he
has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Man-
.nerses, and Sraythes."—Observer.
Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed-
beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great
T. taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en-
a ging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha-
acter 3f Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we
nave given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have
%aid. The other ladies who play conspicuous parts in the tale are
Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and
impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia
Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.

LONDON, FRIDAY, NOVEMBER 8, 1850,

On Wednesday we asked certain questions, re-
quiring full, distinct, and unequivocal answers, be-
fore it could be ascertained whether the alleged losses
said to be sustained by agriculturists were occasioned by
causes beyond their own control, or through the crassa
negligentia, the gross negligence and wilful default
of the parties principally concerned—the owners and
occupiers of the soil. We pointed out briefly the
natural results of the monetary code, of the game-
laws, and of the want of skill, capital, industry, and
enterprise on the part of a large proportion, if not
the great majority of the farmers themselves, which
led to that " state of absolute neglect" so strongly
commented upon by the Noble Leader of the Protec-
tionists (Lord ST .LEY) in his celebrated speech at
Bury—a speech which excited such unutterable
dismay and consternation in the Protectionist camp•
The Noble Lord, however, told some wholesome
truths to his auditors. He declared his perfect con-
viction, that " if it does not answer to farm well, it
cannot answer to farm ill ; that if a well drained and
well cleaned field will not pay rent, an undrained
field full of weeds and half full of water will not pay
rent either." None can deny the accuracy of these
conclusions. The days have, we admit, long since
gone by when an idle, slovenly, unskilful farmer
could pay a heavy rent to his landlord, heavy tithes to
the rector of the parish, and enormously heavy taxes,
local as well as general, out of a neglected and badly.
cultivated farm, and meanwhile support himself
and family with ordinary comfort. But at the same
time, it by no means follows that, if the amount of
activity, skill, and capital should be embarked
in the undertaking, which are indispensable
in any other business or manufacture, the
result might not 1),o cf a very different and much more
satisfactory character, leaving nothing of which a man
who had fairly discharged his duties in reference to
his holding could justly complain.
