A NOVEL."
The author, we arc convinced, is young, otherwise we could
hardly see disdlayed 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 in which he 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 mobilia of the actions which cha-
racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he
bas marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Disraells, Man-
nerses, and Smythes."—Observer.
" Silwood' is no ordina y 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
said. The other ladies who play conspicuons 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.
Richard Bentley, New Burlington-street,
London, England, 1850-05-29

THE SUN,

LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR OF LABUAN.

Mr. C. LUSHING TON wished to know, whether the
Lieutenant-Governor of Labuan, Sir William Napier,
who administered the affairs of the colony, had been
suspended, and whether the duties of his office had fallen
on a draughtsman and a surveyor.
Mr. HA WES said it was quite true that the Lieutenant-
Governor bad been suspended from his office. The
whole circumstances of the case were under the con-
sideration of the Government; and he thought it
would be the height of injustice, either expressly
or impliedly, to give any opinion on the sub-
ject until the investigation of the Government
was closed. It was not true that the administration of
justice in that island had been suspended in consequence
of Sir William Napier having been removed from his
office.

Mr. LUSHINGTON observed that he should repeat
the question at the expiration of a moderato time.
SECURITY FOR ADVANCES (IRELAND) BILL.
In reply to Mr. MONSELL
Lord J. RUSSELL said ho would proceed with ttis
Bill as early as possible.
UNIVERSITY REFORM.

Mr. GLADSTONE asked Lord John Russell when
it was proposed to proceed with the adjourned debate on
the motion for the appointment of a commission to in-
quire into the management of the Universities?

Lord JOHN RUSSELL said it was not a
Government measure, and he could not undertake to say
when the adjourned debate would be proceeded with, but
whenever it was resumed he should move an amendment
that it should be adjourned for three months.

MARKET NEWS-(THIS DAY.)

CORN EXCHANGE—WEDNESDAY
This being almost a holiday market very few buyers
were in attendance to-day. Fine English Wheats were
scarce, and held at fully Monday's quotations. In the
middling and inferior kinds so little business was trans-
acted that prices were almost nominal. The imports of
foreign Wheat have been confined to 1,990 quarters.
That article was very slow in sale, but not lower to pur-
chase. Scarcely any English Barley was offering; and
the supply of foreign was very moderate. Malting
parcels sold at full prices. In grinding and distilling
sorts scarcely any business was doing. We bad a mo-
derate inquiry for Malt at last week's figures. Oats
were in fair average supply, and sluggish inquiry, at late
rates. Beans, Peas, Indian Corn, and Flour were a slow
inquiry.

GERMAN Y.

It is said that Count TiluN will make the following
propositions on the part of Austria in the Congress at
Frankfort, relative to the future central p)wer of
Germany, viz.—to appoint a commission of nine
members, of whom two to be named by Austria, two
by Prussia, and one by 13,tvaria ; the other four to be
divided among the other states.
An extraordinary courier was sent to his MAJESTY
at Graetz, last night, with dispatches from Prussia,
which are said to he of a satisfactory nature.
The Deutsche Volksblatt, in an article from Frank-
fort, says it is positively asserted here that Austria
has invited the two Princes of Hohenzollern to meet
the representatives of the various German Govern-
ments assembled here, in order to take part in the de-
liberations respecting the framing of the future con-
stitution.

Austria is exceedingly desirous of negotiating a
new loan, but her credit is so low that she finds great
difficulty in doing• it, and will most probably be
obliged to have recourse to a forced circulation of
assignats.

THE

altogether so remarkable as to evidence a percept:it*e
advance in an artist already highly rnatur,,,tl in his
capacities. Perhaps the m ssterpit,cas in the prcsent
cullectiun are his Loch Vach—Death of the O'tet"
(83), and " Return from the HT—Glen Tilt from
Ben-y- Glue" (100), the former dim with its vapom-
ous suffusion, the latter brilliant from the pro-millet:lee
of the figures crossing the foreground. Allred
Fripp's "Irish Piper" (90), though a hold and
arrest,ng picture, is inferior in the pleasure it
afforded us to a little sketch, which some
might regard as a mere in which
with a few dashing touches and outlines (182) he
has depicted a young " Furze Cutter." F. Mac •
kenzie has adorned the gallery with two architectural
pictures of surprising ability, one (91) representing
the northwest view of Lincoln _Minster, and the
other (195) giving the south-west view of the earn,
superb edifice. Of WV. A. Nesflela's painting of" The
Giant's Amphitheatre, near the Causeway" (136) we
must be permitted to say that never was seen light-
ning of such chromatic liquidity, or sea-water of such
washy greenness. " The Hhareen," (147), by John
F. Lewis, is altogether the most extraorailiary pro-
2-.uctiin in the gallery. It is more than an astonish-
ing curiosity. It is one of those miracles of water-
colour paintings which occasionally startle us by
their brilliancy. In the exquisite minuteness of
its the picture is•comparable to the detailed
oil-paintings f Van Eyck, while in smoothness and
leli,!ricy it vies with the brightest enamel. The
hiaireern in all its details—the cheque-red wall', the
carpeted it ,or, the dainty articles of furniture, the
fruit and ffivvers, the coat of the gazelle, and the cos-
tume of the different figures introduced, are depicted
with a trutl.fulm ss worthy of all admiration. The
very texture of the silks, aim linens, and laces, and
other woven fbbrics of the Mussulman and his sul-
tanas, are rendered with the utmost regard to the
accurate resemblance of their texture, the expression
of the various countenances being also surpris-
ingly felicitous. Almost approaching this singular
work in minute finish are two others, not
far from it, of very different characters.
One is (160) the "Banquet of \Volsey to the Am •
bassadors," by Joseph Nash, the other (165) "Hare,
woodpigeon, &c.," by W. Hunt. L. Palmer con-
tributes two pictures, rather exaggerated in colouring.
(205) " St. Paul landing in Italy," and (217)
"Robinson Crusoe guiding his Raft up the Creek."
Among the more important productions in the col-
lection we noticed two charming fruit-pieces—(2o4)
by Maria Harrison, and (216) by George Rosenberg,
the latter containing a vine leaf all but capable
of rustling to the wind, and a cabbage rose which
Only wants the perfume of that empress of the
flowers. Other works cf various merit were scattered
over the screens and round the walls of the apartment.

ST. JAMES'S THEATRE.

M. Lafont appeared for the first time this season in
his popular character of Rarnadour, in the amusing
come lie. vaudeville of Les Deux Brigadiers. The
play is so familiar to the patrons of the French Play
that there is no necessity to rehearse the plot or the
incidents. Lafont, who was quite successful in de-
picting the gallant bearing and amusing nonchalance
of the Brigadier, was frequently applauded during
the piece, and was called for at its termination. In
the new comedy of Gabrielle, M. Regnier and Mdlle.
Nathalie produced their accustomed effect. The
piece was acted with perfect ensemble.
