AINS TV ORTHIS MAGAZINE.

The best thing in the present chapters of the
Editor's " Revelations of London," is his description
of Regent-street in the high noon of fashion, which
is as vigorous and lively as it is circumstantial. The
diablerie of the story is, we must honestly confess,
not much to our taste, for demons, gentlemen three
hundred years old, dwarfs of the same respectable
antiquity, and such like melo-dramatic monsters, ill
assort with the business-like, matter-of-fact habits of
the present day, in which they are represented as
playing off their romantic vagaries. However, Mr.
Ainsworth is not without his justification, "Ms win
plebecula gaudet." "Agincourt" is a kindly and
generous notice of Mr. James's latest novel—his
hundred-and-fiftieth, we believe—which comes with
peculiar grace from the pen of a rival novelist.
" Wild Oats " gives some whimsical anecdotes illus-
trative of Elliston's eccentricities, and the effrontery
with which he played on the credulity and forbear-
ance of the " pensive public." The "Country Cu-
rate " is one of Charles 01lier's unassuming domestic
stories, and is throughout pleasingly written. " Traits
and Stories of the Irish Peasantry contains several
characteristic portraits of this unaccountable portion
of the creation. We quote from Mr. Saville's Per-
sian Journal" his account of an interview with the
late King Fath Ali Shah :
" JAN. 28.—This was the day fixed for our having an
audience of Fath Ali Shah ; in consequence, about ten
o'clock in the morning, we mounted our horses, and, ac-
companied by Mr. M‘Neill,* the secretary of the Eng-
lish embassy, directed our course towards the royal
palace. Having proceeded, with great ceremony, to a
gate leading to the residence of his Persian Majesty, we
dismounted, and were conducted to an apartment, where
we found several Persian khans assembled, among whom
was Meerza Abool Hassan Khan, who was to present us

CHINA.

We have intelligence from China to the 3d of Sep-
tember, but it is not of a very important character•
We have also advices from Sydney to the 4th of Sep'
tember, which are, probably, later than any which
will have reached England before the arrival of the
present mail. The colonies were slowly—very
slowly—reviving. Great distress prevailed among
the operative classes, and a public meeting had been
held to memorialise the Government to take their case
into consideration. The October mail from England
has not yet arrived. The first intelligence is expected
by the IlindoAan early in next week. The passenger
ships have been flocking in since our last, the
Monarch, the Owen Glendower, the Southampton*
and others having made their appearance.
