MRS.TROLLOrE'S NEW NOVEL, " YOUNG Love."—
If there is a subject that recommends itself more strongly
and more immediately to the feelings than another, it is
that which Mrs. Trollope has made choice of in her
forthcoming novel, bearing the attractive title of " Young
Love." 'We learn that in this work she has produced a
story in which she has contrasted, in a manner only to
be expected from her intimate knowledge of her sex, the
self-denying and purely ideal affection of a young and
perfectly unsophisticated girl, who has been bred up
in the seclusion of a country house, with the speculating
and heartless passion of a London beauty, who has re-
ceived all the honours, and endured all the dissipations
attendant upon a long succession of seasons in town.
The work is stated to be a truer picture of fashionable
life at the present day than has issued from the press for
a long time, and to contain some curious revelations re-
specting ladies of high rank, which have hitherto been
carefully kept behind the curtain.
OPENING OF THE MANCHESTER CUSTOM-HOUSE.
—This establishment was opened for business on Friday.
Our readers are already aware that it is situate in
Mosely-street, at No. 73, near to St. Peter's-square.
The house is a spacious one, and the various rooms have
been appropriated to the different offices required.
The establishment consists of a collector, comptroller,
six clerks, a landing surveyor, two landing-waiters,
lockers, &c. Mr. Powell, late comptroller of the
Customs at Newcastle, has been selected as collector ;
and Mr. Shelly, late warehouse-keeper at Liverpool,
has received the appointment of comptroller. It being
desirable that the officers should be persons familiar with
the business of customs, the majority of them, we un-
derstand, have been selected by the Commissioners of
Customs from the Liverpool officers. As we have inti-
mated above, yesterday was the first day of business ;
and though the fact had not been officially notified to
the public, we understand that a considerable business
was transacted. The building itself has undergone some
alterations in the interior, to adapt it for this new pur-
pose, and these are not yet wholly completed ; but, in
the-coarse of a few days,it wilt nog doubt

TRADE OF DUBLIN.—The quarter ended, on the
10th instant gives a customs' receipt, in this port of
274,734 L against 263,759/. received in the similar period
of 0431, showing an,excesd in favour of the current yeer
of 10,9751. The. year ended the 10th of 'October, 1843,
the receipts in Dublin amounted to 938,991/. ; the year
ended on oast Wednesday gives a receipt of 1,037,769 Z,
being 98,7781. of an increase in favour of this year. The
number of- documents passed to liberate the various
goods, and the necessary labour exercised in the respec-
tive departinenti ,of the customs have increased much
more 'in proportion to the receipts of the money, as will
be seen when the statement for the quarter ended 10th
of October pronounces the issue of 6,129 documents--
that of 1844, 6,898, or an increase of one in nine; the year
to the 10th of October, 1840, 20,910 ; while the present
gives 25,396, or nearly double the number passed in 1830,
when the number of hands in the employ of the Board
of Customs at this port were nearly twofold what they
are at the present time. The cost of the collection and
management of the customs' revenue here amounts to
the extravagantly incalculable sum of one five-sixth per
cent. on the sum collected —Freeman's Journal.

It may be in the recollection of our readers that, on
the seine day, in March last year, on whiCh the John
and Elizabeth, of this port, was lost at the entrance of
the harbour, when all on board perished, the drew of the
Norwegian schooner was rescued • from the same fate by
the life-boat, manned by twelve seamen belonging to this
place, who received 6/. for their exertions from the Life-
boat Association. It gives us now great pleasure to
learn that the Swedish and Norwegian Government
have instructed Robert Millar, Esq., Consul for this dis-
trict,,, to ,repay.the 6/. to the association, and have also
most generously awarded one hundred dollars (21/. 125.)
to be divided equally among the crew of the life-beat.
It is gratifying to have to record such liberality on the
part of the Government of King Oscar, whose own "sub-
jects expose their lives so fearlessly for the preservation
of others along the dangerous coast of Norway.—Mont-
rose Review.

ST. ANDREW'S—CHAIR OF HUMANITY.--The sud-
den death of the late Dr. Gillespie having created a
vacancy in the Chair of Humanity in the University
of St. Andrew's, the important duty devolved on the
patron, the Duke of Portland, of appointing a suc-
cessor. A number of distinguished teachers, men of
acknowledged talents and acquirements, and of profes-
sional experience, offered themselves as candidates. From
among these, the patron has selected Wm. Pyper, A.M.,
who, for many years, has been one of the ablest and most
successful teachers in the High School of Edinburgh. As a
scholar and an instructor of youth, Mr. Pyper's merits
are appreciated and acknowledged as universally as his
private character is esteemed. With the various sys-
tems of education, whether in this country or on the
Continent ; and with the best methods of teaching, we
know him to be intimately acquainted. In a critical and
practical knowledge of the Greek and Roman classics he
has few equals ; but his knowledge is not confined to lan-
guages, it is general, diversified by a wide range of
study, combined with a sound judgment, and matured by
the successful labours of a distinguished academical
career. Whoever takes the trouble to peruse the testi-

monials given in his favour, by professors, clergymen,
schoolmasters, and indeed by the whole body of learned
men in every department of literature in Scotland, may
satisfy himself that his high claims have not been ex-
aggerated, and that the noble patron of the chair could
not have made a better selection. His appointment re-
flects credit not less upon himself than upon the insti-
tution where he has so long laboured, and where his
merits as a teacher were fully developed.—Edinburgh
Advertiser.

---WZ;;MINSTER-BRIDGE.—On Monday the carriage
way of Westminster-bridge was closed for further re-
pairs. By a recent Parliamentary return, it appears
that from the year 1810 to 1838,a sum of 83,0971.65. 9-d.
was expended in the repairs and alterations of the
bridge, together with
charges for professional and other
services. The cost since 1838 in the repairs and altera-
tions amounted to 82,6611., and a further sum was re-
quired of 52,879/, and if the footpaths were made the
same as London-bridge, an additional sum of 40,000/
would be expended. The total income of the property
belonging to the Commissioners of the Bridge is 7,464/.
11s. Bd. a year. It will be seen that thi3 sum expended
since 1838, and the further sum required amount in six
years to upwards of 135,000/, whilst the income derived
from the property of the bridge in the period only
amounts to 44,7871. 10s.
