A NOVEL. 0 0 D.
" The author, we are convinced ; is young, otherwise we could
hardly se) dislayed sueh fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
half of his heroes and heroines. lie is a writer of genius, inspired
by a bids standard of morality and religion, an 4 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
en the subjects lust 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
has marked per cc peculiarities, to the school of the Diszaelis, Man-
nerses, and Smythes."—Observe-.
" • Silwood' 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
said. The other ladies who play conspicuons parts in the tale are
Florence Howard, an intellectual beaßty; 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.

SURGICAL OPERATIONS UPoN A LEOPARD.—The
chetah or hunting leopard, recently presented to the Zoolo-
gical Society by the Pacha of Egypt, having accidentally
broken one of its legs during its gambols in the cage in which
it is confined, amputation of the limb was decided on, and
the Operation was skilfully performed on Monday last by
Professor Siramonde, of the Veterinary College, 4 'amden-
town. Previous to undergoing the operation the animal was
made to inhale chloroform by applying to its mouth and
nostrils a sponge moistened with that liquid and fastened to
the end of a stick. Its dislike to this part of the process was
very loudly expressed; it, however, soon fell under the in-
fluence of the chloroform, which evidently rendered it totally
insensible-to suffering, as it lay perfectly motionless and
quiet during the operation and until its removal from the
operating table, and placed on some clean hay in its den,
when it speedily revived and moved about on its remaining
three legs as though nothing had occurred.
The Austrian Llorls of Vienna states that a so-
eiety of English capitalists has offered to the Ottoman Go-
