GOD SAVE TUE QUEEN."
This is certainly one of the cleverest among the many
clever jeux d'esprit whick_Mr. Clayton has recently
published. No. 3 is a pamphlet of a more serious
character, and concludes with a comparison between
Protestantism and Romanisrn. No. 4is a defence of
the Pope's proceedings, Vk hich the author himself, in
a P.S., says contains nothing that had not been ad-
vanced in Cardinal "iViseman's manifesto, and which,
therefore, it is unnecessary further to notice.

A DISSERTATION ON THE RIGHTS TO

THE SEA S' 110 RE S, 6,-c. By J. Jerwood,
E5q.,.111.A Barrister-at Law.

Tfics little volume has been written with especial
reference to Mr. Sergeant Merewether's published
Speech on the Rights to Sea Shores, and to the
Soil and B.A of Tidal Harbours and Navigable
Rivers. The inferences drawn by, the Learned Ser
geant, and the application of the cases which he cited,
are strongly impugned by Mr. Jerwood, who, in the
present compilation, maintains his positions with
great learning and ability.

FINE ARTS.
A FALSE MOVE.

This is an admirable caricature in allusion to the
Papal aggression. The Pope and John Bull are
playing cll7,ss. " Check to your queen, John !" says
the man vs ith the triple crown. "Pooh ! pooh ! your
Bishop is out of his place, man," is John Bull's cool
reply. The subject is admirably conceived ; the
countenances are full of expression, and the artie,
whoever he may be, will be found a formidable rival
to H. B. in his own peculiar style.
