LOVE AND MESMERISM.—BY HORACE SMITH,
ESQ.—. The Author of " Brambletye House," has once
more cl -me before the public he has so often entertained,
and we are bound to say, with a work as full of attrac-
tion as, anything of the kind that has proceeded from
him. Under the title of " Love and Mesmerism," he
has produced a very extraordinary story. The time may
be said to be within the experience of many of his
readers—the scenes abound with romantic interest,

though the locality changes from the picturesque palaces
of Venice to the comfortable drawing-rooms of London
—and the characters comprise those vivid portrai-
tures &tam actual life for which the author has obtained
so high a reputation. Certain circumstances alluded to,
towards the conclusion of the work, that have marked
.the car eer of a public character with considerable
totoriety, have aided greatly, we are told, in exciting
F üblic curiosi!y towards " Love and Mesmerism,"

,hich will doubtless be as popular as any of its pre
d .ecessors.

EXTENSIVE ROBBERY.—About one o'clock on
Thoarsday last Mr. Dawson, town-traveller to Mr. Calvert, an
extensive dealer in bandannas, of Ludgate-hill, was robbed of
five ps 'reels, containing a variety of silk goods, to the value of
upwarcls of 701., in the following manner :—Whilst going to
dine at a tavern in the neighbourhood of Whitechapel, Mr.
Dawson Left a young man named Edward Wood, who usually
took charge of his parcels, in care of his property at a neigh-
bouring publi.'-house. He was surprised, on returning in
abOnt an hour, in find that Wood was not there. He however
bad no apprehension that the lad had absconded, and awaited
his retarn for a considerable time. At length Mr. Dawson
began to feel alarm for the safety of the property, and hastened
to his employer's, where, after relating the circumstance, he
proceeded to the residence of the boy's parents, at Camden-
gardens, Bethnal-green, who had heard nothing of him during
the day. Mr. Dawson then proceeded to Denmark-street
station-house_, St. George's-in-the-East, and lodged informs-
foe against the lad. k
tucking„ham Palace, during the absence of the
our t from town, is to undergo various embellishments and
ere, tions. The grand hall is to be decorated somewhat in
sty, ,e of the Royal Pavilion, Buckingham Gardens; and in
ton h wing alteration, are to be forthwith made.
