A NOVEL.
" The author, we are convinced. is young, Istl:ersvise we could
hardly see displayed such fresh and cnthusi.istie sympathy in be-
half of his heroes a:KI 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 croon the glowing lan-
guage in which he isrpres,cs his fealincs, ser fli,7eins, and opinions
on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in
which links of the story aredropied, ,}ntainir:x most eloquent essays
matters that are Lite rrinla inebilia of the actions which cha-
acterise nature's nobility. The writer eviler::ly belongs, though be
has marked per so peenler'ties, to the school Cl the Disraelis, Man-
leases, and Smythes."—C;ecrver.
'4' Silwood' is no cri'ini::ry -work ; It cnnlr.l-,, passages of exceed-
ing beauty, and is written in pure arid foreltie language, with great
good taste and power.- It is one oF the most interesting and en
gaging novels which the present seecen bee projuced. Of the cha-
racter of Amelia Ross we have Creao7 spoken, and the extract we
have given above is the surest votee'=.r. cftl.,3 truth of what we have
.aid. The other ladies who play c3-.r.,3leaoris parts in the tale are
Florence Howard, an intellectual beau's; Gordon, a wild and
impulsive genius, passionately fetid of music and poetry; and Julia
Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—M,zning Post.

SCENE Till SECOND.
THE LAKE are KILLARNEY.
The entrance to the M:!nsion af Lord Bullfrog is on one side, on
the other a title ion. It being in Ireland, the sign was to hare
been " a Bull." but " brills" not being in fashion at present, it has
been changed to the " Queen's ITeral." It being May-Day Eve, the
Fairies of the Lake are seen dancing and strewing flowers on the
water, as if sweetly BPAdamizing the road, preparatory to the ap-
pearance of

He gallops across the Lake, says much that is well worth hearing,
pats on the habit of a Beggar, and, " 0 Charming May," what a
time :or making a little love ; se think the fair Kathie, n and her
Lover Dermot Astore, but instead of making a little, they make a
great deal. She relieves the P aegara wants, and then wants to
have a little more love. It has long since been an established fact,
that even Cupid, villa can chrt,, any man into a goose, sounethnes
has his own " goose cooked," Iso it proves now, for Lord Bull-
frog's Cookey, discovering the ^ :erg, flares itta a " broil" ensues,
and all are thrown into a perfla " stew." At leis critical moment,
Lord Bullfrog, with his jovial nearilons, Alen from the chase.
Lady Bullfrog (to see her Is to ',tee her), with tier interesting little
family, comes to meet him. S' e flies into her husband's anus—and
thus (as many married ladies have done bell:: e) stands "in arms
against her husband." Lord Ballfrog Is enraaael with the Lovers,
so to punish Dermot, who is in his (liana he seizes his only friend, his
Horse, by way of payment, but gets more kicks lean ha'penee."
