SA 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 religion, and by a laudable love
of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan-
guage i ho expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions
on the Subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in
which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays
on matters that are the prima mobilla of the actions which cha-
racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he
has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraelis, Dian-
nerses, and Smythes."—Observer.
" Sliwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed-
ing beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great
good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en-
gaging novels which the present season has produced. Of the cha-
racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we
have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have
skid. The other ladies who play conspicuons parts in the tale are
Florence Howard, an intellectual beasts; 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.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.

A letter of the Bth from Hamburgll says :—" From
the movements which took place on the sth, when
General WILLISEN placed his troops in new positions,
a serious atlair was expected between the two
armies ; but all, that took place was a little engage-
ment between a Danish corps of cavalry and three
battalions, supported by a corps of chasseurs, and a
half battery of artillery of Holstein. The Danes
withdrew behind their entrenchments. To render
se_vp,r,al taty ~p os it ions .unt ttackiable,- .General
littoGit has covered with water large tracts of ground
in Schleswig, which intimate more and more his
intention to pass the winter in that province.
Almost all the islands belonging to Schleswig have
been successively occupied by the Danish troops.
Must of the former public functionaries have been re-
placed by others favourable to the Danish cause.
Schleswig may now be looked on as re-organized on
the administrative system cf the other Danish pro-
vinces. A Danish flab of truce came on the 6th to
inform the authorities of Neustadt that free entrance
and departure would be permitted to Holstein vessels
displaying the naval flag of the kingdom. Prussia
continues to furnish officers to the Holstein army ;
four new ones have just arrived from the 18th Regi-
ment of the Line. According to news from Rends•
burg, the reception given at head quarters to the
apostles of universal peaca was not very satisfactory.
It can be conceived that these gentlemen could
scarcely be welcomed there, when both officers and
men are so anxious fur another battle with the
Danish troops."

FRAN CE.

The following telegraphic dispatch, dated Av-
ranches, Wednesday, eight o'clock, has been re-
ceived : _ _

" The President of the Republic left St. Le yester-
day morning, and arrived last evening, at six o'clock,
at Avranches, having passed through Coutances and
Granville. At Coutances he visited the cathedral,
where he was felicitated by the Bishop at the head of
his clergy. At Granville he laid the first stone of a
dock, which will complete the port. In these two
towns, and everywhere on his passage, he was hailed
by the population with cries of Vive le President,'
and ' Vive Napoleon.' The entry into Avranches,
amidst an immense population assembled on the ter-
races leading to the Sous Prefecture, and saluting the
President with the most enthusiastic acclamations,
was truly magnificent. The President returns to
Paris to-morrow night about 10 o'clock, by the
Rouen Railway, and by special train from Bonnieres,
which he reaches st 8 P.M."

SCOTLAND,

The extensive and important DOMAIN of ROSEHAUGIT and
the SUDDIES, all adjoining, in the Parishes of AVOCII,
KNOCKBAIN, and ROSEMARKIE, and County of Ross, with ita
excellent and commodious Mansion, Advowson, and Manorial
Rights, within 10 Miles of Inverness (the capital of the Highlands),
commanding a grand View of the Moray Firth, and of portions of
the Counties of Inverness, Nairn, Moray, and Banff, near Fort
George, and the towns of Fortrose and Dingwall, with Steam

ComiMinication to Aberdeen, Edinburgh, &c., and now only 21
hours' journey by land from London.
lii[ESSRS. DANIEL SMITH 'and SON are
commissioned by the proprietor, Sir James John Randol
Mackenzie; Bart., to announce that the above very fine and influen-
tial TERRITORIAL FREEHOLD PROPERTY, embracing upwards
of 7,000 acres (or eleven square miles) of highly-cultivated or im-
proveable Land, interspersed with thriving Woods and Plantations,
will (unless previously disposed of by Private Treaty) be SUBMIT-
TE D to PUBLIC COMPETITION in the Autumn.

The mansion, which is complete)), furnished, is of modern erec-
tion, and is suited in all respects for the immediate occupation of a
large and first-rate establishment, with capital offices, stabling,
walled gardens, highly dressed and varied pleasure grounds, hot-
houses, and conservatories, on a commanding but delightfully shel-
tered elevation, with splendid marine and inland scenery, and em-
bracing the site of the Old Manor House, with a fine and bold extent
of shore and beach, with south and east aspects. The domain sur-
rounds the residence, and is richly varied with hill and dale,
consisting of park-like psddocks, thriving plantations well-stocked
with game, and numerous farms, mills, &c., let on improv-
ing leases, at, rents which are most punctually paid half
yearly, and are so moderate as to hold out the certainty of a
considerable increase of income on the termination of the
present leases, as well as many undeveloped sources of
more extensive and permanent improvements. They embrace
a variety of soil, with valuable stone ; and having the great advan-
tage of a fine.opening to the sea, with a good anchorage for a yacht,
and fine bathing ground, these estates possess every facility for car-
rying out the most profitable as well as pleasurable objects (or en-
hancing their value ; and the' command of navigation and the gra-
dual approach of railway communication render them a very desir-
able and most safe investment. The ,parish, churches of Avoch,
Itosemarkie, and Knockbain, as well as the Episcopal chapel of
Fortrose, are all in the close vicinity. The advowson or patronage
of the parish of Avoch will be disposed of with these estates.
Particulars and plans, when completed, may be had of William
Mackenzie, Esq., W.S., 29, Charlotte-square, Edinburgh ; of
Messrs. Cameron and Martin, 10, New Palace-yard, Westminster ;
and of Messrs. Daniel Smith and Son, Land Agents, in Waterloo-
place, Pall-mall ; to any of whom applications may be made for
further information, and for the purchase of the estate by private
treaty.

The Allgemeine Zeitung publishes the following
letter from Chur, dated Sept. 3 :
"Great alarm was occasioned last night at half-past
two;o'clock, by the falling of the rocks at Felstierg,
Nearly the entire population, roused Irons their beds by
the fearful crash of the rocks almost an hour previous to
their fall, had quitted the village, and stood oa the plain
beyond awaiting the awful catastrophe.
"The night wus tolerably light; suddenly a tremend-
ous crash was succeeded by thick clouds of dust, and
large masses of rock were precipitated from the heights,
apparently upon the village beneath; so fearful was
the noise, that all concluded that the village was buried,
but on rushing to the village the inhabitants found a
huge wall of rucks piled up at the very extremity of the
village.
" About twenty of the blocks were as large as a small
house, and innumerable others were of rather less di-
mensione. It is pos,ible that these masses may stand
for some time; but the danger is imminent, as they are
piled immediately beneath the precipice."

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
ROCHDALE, 2,L YNDAY —is e have hail :,nether
today for fl nAel,, hut little or no mange in
prices. The wool maiket has been heavy, and the
manufacturers have manifested an indis2osition to
purcluise at any prize.
MACULA SFIELD, TUESDAY.—During the last ten
days a better feeling has existed, and sales have been
(ffacted in manufactured goods at better rates ; there
has, however, been a considerable diminution in the
production lately, ,so that stocks are reported but
1i,411!.. For thrown silks there is more inquiry, but
[rlces are much below the standard of raw material;
wo, however, anticipate an advance, as old stocks are
generally worked off. In the raw silk market prices
are quoted firm.
HUDDERSFIELD, TUESDAY.—We have had a good
active market to-day ; a large amount of business has
been done. Goods have changed hands freely, cspe-
(tidily cheques and fancies, they being chiefly inquired
fur. Stocks begin to look low, the manufacturers
being principally working to order. The business of
the week has been very brisk.
HALIFAX, SATURDAY.—The demand for some de-
scriptions of worsted is scarcely so good as it was,
but there is no alteration in prices. The German
houses are rather more shy of giving out orders for
yarns, but the Russian houses order freely, and the
quotations are unchanged. There is not a great deal
doirig in wool. The staplers are asking higher rates,
%hich are not readily acquiesced in.
LEaDS, TUESDAY.—There is no change to note in
the woollen cloth trade since last week. The mills
continue to be fully employed, and stocks on all hands
are very low. There is a good business doing in the
warehouse by large buyers, and the shipping houses
are buisy for this season of the year.

ITALY.

The Genoa Gazette, of the 6th instant, contains the
following from Venice :—" Tne Minister of Commerce
had formed, at Venice, a committee composed of
members of the municip-al council, merchants, oaicers
of the army, and functionarif-s of the administrative
and financial departments, to inquire into the practi-
cability and expediency of transferring the free port'
from the island of St. George to that of St. Lucie, in
order to connect it more directly with the railroad
station. The committee had unanimously recognized
the utility of the project."

SICILY.

The trial of the sixteen persons accused of political
crimes before the Criminal Court of Palermo, has
terminated in the acquittal of thirteen, the condem-
nation of one to the galleys, and of two to death. The
execution of the judgment o❑ these two last has been
suspended, and the Court has expressly recommended
them to the Royal clemency.

WALKER TESTIMONIAL FUND. The committee
of the Walker Testimonial Fund met this day, and we find
that the subscriptions are coming in freely from the provinces,
Ministers and Governments, in their desire to
make interest and secure support, may neglect their duties to
the deserving men who serve mankind in other ways than
their own,—but it is well that whenever they do this, the
public—who are the parties directly interested—should un-
dertake to repair the wrong. Tins manner of reproof is
always open in the case of unmerited slight,—and whether
it prove effective or not as a rebuke to forgetfulness or self-
interest on the part of those in office, it is a dignified ex-
pression of the public; feeling. We are glad to hear that
there is some intention of snaking a demonstration of this
kind in favour of Mr. George Alfred Walker. Few men in
our day have established a better claim than he to the grati-
tude of the inhabitants of London. At the hazard of his
life and to the serious detriment of his practice as a surgeon,
Mr. Walker has succeeded in effecting a most important re-
form. In the pub is service, he has descended ,nto the grave-
yards of the metropolis with a boldness and self-devotion
worthy of aII ward. He made himself familiar with all
their horrors; that he might bring back from the charnel-
hots. e the see:et of those endemic pests which rage
so fearfully in the more c owded districts To the energy
with which lie conducted these investigations, and to the lu-
cidity and power with which lie laid the results before the
orld, we trace the first awakening of public interest in the
question of extramural interments—nowdecided in favour
of that public. To his unwearied industry and tact, aided
by a liberal press, we are indebted for the powerful convic-
tions which afterwards forced the Government to put au end
to such abominations, and interpose its authority in order to
guard against their return. It might reasonably be ima-
gined that the courageous reformer would be employed to
see his reforms carded into effect. But the state adopts Mr.
Walker's ideas—not Mr Walker. Others are appointed to
execute his plans, so laboriously and painfully prepared. To
repair in some sort this wrong, as we have said- or at least
to offer a graeful and becoming protest against it—is the
object, we believe, of the proposed testimonial.—Athenceurtz.

PEDESTRIANISM.

W. SPOONER AND GEORGE BRADSHA.W.B SEVEN MILE
MATCH FAt 251. A-SIDE.—The exploits of George Brad-
shaw, of Hammersmith, whether defeated or victorious,
are matter of sufficient importance in the records of
pedestrianism to render their repetition a " thrice-told
tale." For seven years he has been pitted, with various
success (having begun early, and being yet a young
man), against all the best walkers who could be found.
However, like many horses of high repute, he has " run
in and out;" and of late years, despite some astounding
performinces in the way of time, he has shaken the con-
fidence of his backers, by failing marvellously when
brought to the test. Nevertheless, on the present occa-
sion, he found friends, who, confiding in former excel-
lent and undeniable proofs of his capability, posted the
needful for a match with young Spooner, a rising per-
former, and yesterday the competitors met on Stoke-
common, three miles from Slough station, and
about twenty-four from .London, to settle the
question of relative speed in walking. The day
was favourable, and the ground, a measured mile,
though somewhat loose and stony in several places, was,
on the whole, a moderately level and straight one. At
four o'clock the men showed, Bradshaw seeming to have
few friends, and spare attendance, and certainly looking
unlike his former self. The Young One's adherents, on
the other hand, though more numerous, did not seem
remarkably coLfident. At first evens, and then sto 4
on Spooner, was the utmost they would venture; in a
word,_thLy seemed doubtful of " their customer" till the
match was fairly on, %hen, after the second mile, they
let loose their tongues, and were bravely offering 2 to 1,
and all sorts of odds. The men went off at five minutes
past four, walking together for three-quarters of a mile,
when Spooner startel away with a swinging spurt, and
was soon several yards a head of Bradshaw. In the
second mile George got near him, and, as it seemed to
us, almost by sufferance, came within three or four yards
of Spooner. Coming down the third, mile, Spooner
literally walked away from his opponent, and keeping
up a rattling pace, widened the gap between them at each
successive turn. Keeping up tee steam, he finished
some 300 yards in front of Bradshaw, covering the 7
milts L. 57 min. 48 secs.

stroyed all the crops in the province of Brescia, on
the 14th ult., numerous subscriptions were opened at
Milan, the aggregate amount of which (about
50,0000 had been immediately sent to the relief of
the unfortunate inhabitants of that province. The
Pietlinontese Gazette of the 7th publishes an order of
the day, addressed to the National Guard of Turin by
their Commandant, inviting them to contribute to the
relief of Brescia.
The authorities of Milan have invited contractors
to send in their proposals for the erection of three
small forts, to be constructed at a distance of 1,000
metres from Milan, opposite the Ticino and Vercelli
gates and the Porta Nuova. The total cost of these
works is laid at five millions of francs, and they are
to be completed by 1854.
The Statuto of Florence, of the 4th, states from
Rome that Sig. PINELLI, the Envoy Extraordinary
from Sardinia, has been very well received by the
Court of Rome, and that the pending difficulties are
likely to be settled to the satisfaction of both parties.
The Giornale di Roma of the 2rl mentions a dis-
turbance which took place on the 25th ult. at Monti•
celli, in the district of Tivoli. It appears that three
individuals having been arrested, an attempt was
made to rescue them, which, however, proved unsuc-
cessful. A French detachment of 30 men arrived
soon after and restored order.

SICILY.

The trial of the sixteen persons accused of political
crimes before the Criminal Court of Palermo, has
terminated in the acquittal of thirteen, the condem-
nation of one to the galler, and of two to death. The
Execution of the judgment on these two last Las bon
suspended, and the Court has expressly recommended
them to the Royal clemency.

WALKER TESTIMONIAL FUND. The committee
of the Walker Testimonial Fund met this day, and we find
that the subscriptions are coaling in freely from the provinces.
Ministers and Governments, in their desire to
make interest and secure support, may neglect their duties to
the deserving. men who serve mankind in other ways than
their own,—but it is well that whenever they do this, the
public—who are the parties directly interested—should un-
dertake to repair the wrong. This manner of reproof is
always open in the case cf unmerited slight,—and 'whether
it prove effective or not as a rebuke to forgetfulness or self-
interest on the part of those in office, it is a dignified ex-
pression of the public' feeling. We are glad to hear that
there is scme intention of making a demonstration of this
kind in favour of Mr. George Alfred Walker. Few men in
our day have established a better claim than be to the grati-
tude •of the inhabitants of London. At the hazard of hie
life and to the serious detriment of his practice as a eurgeon,
Mr. Walker has succeeded in effecting a most important re-
form. In the pub is service, be has descended into the grave-
yards of the metropolis with a boldness and self-devotion
worthy of a Howard. He made himself familiar with all
their horrors; that he might bring back from the charnel-
helve the sec:et of those endemic pests which rage
so fearfully in the more crowded districts. To the energy
with which he conducted these investigations, and to the lu-
cidity and power with which he laid the results before the
world, we trace the first awakening of public interest in the
questioh of extramural interments—now decided in fuvoer
of that, public. To his unwearied industry and tact, aided
by a liberal press, we arc indebtel for the powerful convic-
tions which afterwards forced the Government to put an end
to such abominations, and interpose its authority in order to
guard against their return. It might reasonably be ima-
gined that the courageous reformer would be employed to
see his reforms ea/lied into effect. But the state adopts Mr.
Walker's ideas—not Mr Walker. Others are appointed to
execute his plans, so laboriously and painfully prepared. To
repair in some sort this wrong, as we have said - or at least
to offer a graceful and becoming protest against it—is the
object, we believe, of the proposed testimonial.—ilthenceum.

C.Elt MAN Y.

The capital of Ilesse Cassel was declared on the
7th in a state of siege. The telegraphic dispatch, by
which the journals of Berlin announce the fact,
add that the police refused to publish the decree
relating to this matter. They add that the greatest
number of the authorities, after a protest from the
permanent deputation of the States, refused to put
into execution the decree relating to the collection
of the public taxes up to the end of the present year.
The Berlin State Gazette contains a notification
that, in order to prevent the inconveniences which
would arise from a sudden withdrawal of paper-
money, Prussia, and the other Governments which
form the restricted union, have agreed among them-
selves that the paper-money now, or which may be
put in circulation, shall not be recalled in less than a
month's time, or with less than three months previous
notice.

The Frankfort Journal of the 9th mentions that a
report was current at Leipsic that the Saxon Go-
vernment intends to dissolve the Chambers of the
State, because they will not adopt the Bills pre-
sented by the Government on the organization of
rail ways.
The Weiner Zeitung of the 6th says :—" The corps
d'arrnee in Bohemia is again being re-enforced. Tne
Government train is so entirely taken up with the
conveyance of the military to Bohemia, that the di-
rectors have no carriage at liberty to carry a battal-
lion of the regiment of infantry of Prince COLLOREDO
DE MAINISSFELD to Konigsgratz. The telegraph
lines are now ready in the Tyrol, Italy, Hungary,
and Salzburg, for the transmission of Government
dispatches; they will soon be opened fur the use of
the public."

AN EXCITING SLAVE CASE:

IVASIIINGTON, AUG. 7.—The runaway slaves
L have been so numerous of late in these parts, under
the instigations of the Abolitionists here and else-
where, that the owners of this species of property
have become very much alarmed, and hence are
disposed to remove them to safer parts of the United
States, or to sell them to slave traders. A
cruel instance of this kind is exciting great sym-
pathy at present. The family of William Williams,
the coachman of Presidents Polk, Taylor, and
Fillmore, were suidenly, on Friday morning, seized
by a slave trader; and taken from their homes in this
city off to Baltimore, to be sent to New Orleans. His
Wife, over fifty years of age, three daughters, and
three grandchildren, were thus snatched from him in
an hour to a fate worse to him than death, to be
sold in the South to the highest bidder, and
separated from him and each other. The poor
man was nearly crazed by the dreadful part-
ing. After many years' toil he very recently pur-
chased his own freedom, but his family were owned
by some one in New Orleans. The President,
feeling deeply for his diatress, gave him money, and
let him go to Baltimore to see them again. IVilliams
found the trader would take the sum of 3,200 dollars
for them, and he returned with the hope of raising
that amount here to redeem them. A petition was
drawn up, and to-day circulated about the city and
Heine of Representatives, setting forth the feet, and
asking for assistance, which was so promptly rendered
that the prospect is, in the language of Williams,
himself, " very fair." The President, Mr. Webster,
General Scott, and a number of Senators, members
and citizens, have contributed sums from 5 to 50
dollars. Mr. Corcoran gave 200 dollars, which was
the price asked fur the aged wife, and he made her
"free" at once. Besides doing this Mr. Corcoran has
purchased one of the women, who has lived in his
family for some years, Mrs. Commander Paterson
another, and Mrs. General Towson a third, who
lived with her some years past. So the children, for
whom 1,500 dollars were asked, only remain to be
purchased by their grandfather, and lie is in a fair
way of raising this money.—Correspondent of the

The French Ambassador was also about to leave for
Paris, on a conga of six weeks. Madrid, which had
been in a state of considerable excitement during the
elections, had resumed its wonted tranquillity.
Count DE COLUMBI (M. BERMUDEZ) had arrived
from Lisbon, and been received by the QUEEN, and
was about to set out for Vienna.

The Duke DE MONTPENSIER was deeply affected
at the news of his father's death, so much so that it
was found necessary to bleed him. The event is
likewise severely felt by Queen CHRISTINA.

TURKEY.

A letter from Constantinople, of the 25th ult., states
that great sensation had been caused by the wife of
Mehemet Pacba having strangled one of her eunuchs,
a.sisted by a groom and some other servants. She
has been arrested. She pretended that by law she
bad a right to kill him if she pleased. She was for-
merly the wife of an English physician named Mel-
lingen, but was divorced from him. It was believed
that, in spite of her high rank, she would be con-
demned.

STATE OF TRADE.
(From the Manchester Guardian.)
MANCRESTEII, Ttrasnay.--We have had another
inanimate day. The- merchants connected with those
markets which are the mo,t open to our productions,
are still keeping aloof from business, in that
state of perplexity as to the probable course of
prices which the last unfavourable change has
naturally produced. The Greeks. and Italians have
done a little more in yarns,- and also in printing
cloths, in some instances, on rather easier terms ;
and some further concession has also led to increased,
yet limited purchases of sbirtings. In the prices of
- yarns there is but slight variation from the quotations
of last week ; partially, the buyers have a trifling ad-
vantage, but the diverse views and positions of spin-
ners occasion much irregularity in the rates de-
manded. To some extent, however, the home, and,
perhaps, also, the foreign, buyers, would have
found sellers rather more .manageable yesterday
than they have done to. day.. As regards warps and
cops, which have declined in a much greater pro-
portion than any other articles, there is observable
a rising impression that they are on the point of
showing a firmness which has not latterly belonged
to them. And the smallness of the transactions,
whether for shipment or for home consumption, du-
ring the,,list four weeks, is leading people to expect
that reduced stocks in second and third hands must
shortly bring on a renewed demand ; especially as all
accounts agree in stating that the German manufac-
turers continue to be fully employed. A tendency
to firmness has also Teen imparted by the Niagara's
edifices, showing an advance in the price of cotton in
all the ports of the States, in the face of accounts of a
giving way in England.
ItoCi►Dace, slloenax —We have had another brisk
market to-day for but little or no change in
prices. The wool market haslbeen heavy, and the
manufacturers have manifested an indisposition to
purchase at any price.
MACCLESFIELD, TUESDAY.—During the last ten
trays a issues- feeling. has existed, and sales bay? been
efikted in maLufactured goods at better rates; there
has, I:owever, been a'considerable diminution in the
production lately, so that stocks are reported but
lie's*. For' thrown silks there is more inquiry, but
tr.ces are much beloW the standard of raw material;

THE FRE

NCH R

EPUBLIC.

We have received the Paris journals of yesterday.
The Univers, the organ of the Jesuits and the
parti-pretre, having succeeded in " its expedition to
Rome," now proposes that Catholic Austria should
take advantage of the attack on liAyNau by BAR.
CLAY and PERYINS'S draymen to make war on Eng-
land, to do which the pious Catholics of France
would aid Austria with a fleet ; and thus the Univers
hopes to establish, at the point of the bayonet, the ab-
solute rule of the Jesuits in that horrible England,
which, by its Protestanism and its Constitutionalism,
is such a stumbling block in the way of those who
would fain organizs a new St. Bartholomew's.
The Moniteur du Soil and the Patrie publish the
fol lowing :
'• The number of persons who daily visit the E1y563
has increased to such a degree as to take from the Pre-
sident the time called for by 'public business. He has
been, therefore, compelled to adopt a general measure
which, without doubt, will affect even his intimate
friends, but who will be the first to admit the rigorous
necessity of it. No one except the Ministers and the
high functionaries of the State will ha future be admitted
without a letter of audience."
The Bulletin de Paris says :
" We cannot too strongly caution the departmental
journals against the false reports which are circulated
by certain opposition papers in Paris as to the language
and pretended resolutions of political personages. For
instance, it has been announced with much solemnity
that General Lamoriciere had warmly complained on
Thursday last to the permanent committee of the re-
views which have taken place at Versailles before the
President of the Republic. General Lamoriciere is at
this time inspecting the Harms, and the period of his re-
turn to Paris is not yet fixed."

The Princess PASHIEWITCH, the wife of the cele-
brated Russian General, has arrived at Lisle.

REVIEW,

" This little monthly miscellany continues its praiseworthy ex-
ertions, with a tone of health and moral strength that would do
credit to magazines that claim a position in higher class litera-
ture. The critical notices are sound, and decidedly liberal
in tone and feeling; and that mystery of literature. tha sub-
ject of The Myth,' is well, though se-erely, handled by Liolett,
who seeks to ierce those cloudy wrappings which are so embar-
rassing, and to exhibit this dreamy paradox in the most literal
sense."—Weekly Dispatch.
