CArT. MARRYAT'S LAST NEW NovEL.--The ad-
mirers of Capt.. Marryat's truth-telling narratives, will be
happy to learn that his last production, and unquestionably one
of the most powerful and original that has hitherto proceeded
from his pen—" Joseph Rirshbrenk, the Poacher"—has just
appeared in a cheap form, so as to come more within the means
of that large class of readers by whom it is likely to be, at least,
as well appreciated, as by those who, being able to enjoy litera-
ture as a luxury, are apt to overlook those to whom it is a
recessary of their intellectual life. To these latter, the home-
coming narratives of Capt. Marryat—the " Jacob Faithfuls,"
the " Peter Simples," and this admirable recent addition to
them—" Joseph Rushbrook"—are what their " daily bread" is
to their bodily existence—the " staff of life." Cheapness,
therefore, is more essential in the case of such works than in
any others that can be named.
