HIStORICALand MISCELLANEOUS
QUESTIONS, for the Use of Young People ;
with a Selection of British and General Biography, &c.
By RICEIMAL MANGNALL.

The design of this work is to supply teachers and young
persona with a compendium of useful and important in-
formation. It comprises, in a series of suitable questions
and answers, a comprehensive abstract of classical, Scrip-
ture, and general history ; a more detailed account of the
British Isles, with a sketch of the English Constitution;
a select biography of eminent persons ; a brief view of
classical mythology ; a short treatise on the elements of
astronomy ; besides a great variety of curious and useful
miscellaneous matters, relating chiefly to subjects of natural
history connected with the domestic arts. The work has
been prepared with a scrupulous attention to the value and
utility of the materials ; to clearness and simplicity in the
order of their arrangement ; to strict accuracy in the state-
ment and detail of facts ; and to purity and perspicuity of
style. The present edition has been carefully revised, and
may be recommended as a safe, pleasing, and important
assistant to parents, and to private and public instructors.

THREE YEARS IN CANADA. An
Account of the actual State of that country in
1826, 1827, mod 1628.

By JOHN MACTAGGART,

Civil-Engineer in the Service of the British dovernment.

" This is the most valuable work that we have hitherto
seen upon one of the most important colonies of the British
empire. It embraces every topic—navigation, agriculture,
discovery, travel, land-purchase, settling, the means of sub-
sistence, wood clearing, the civil and political relation of
Canada to Europe and the United Staten, climate, tempera-
ture, diseases, traffic, canals, &c. The hook is interesting
to every man who desires to have a statement of Canada,
• free from fiction, or exaggeration of any kind. To the
emigrant it seems indispensable, and is the best vade mecum
that could prepare him for his enterprise, or guide him in
its prosecution."—Globe.

TYPOGRAPHY AND CALLIOGRAPNY OF
GERMANY...—in this region of study and lucubration, it
has been calculated that, out of a population of 42,000,000,
there are 12,500 writers, or one learned penman in every
3,200 souls. The number of sheets printed has been esti-
mated at 187,000,000 per annum, which gives 47 sheets
per head. Periodical works are not comprised in this
calculation, though they form a mass of no trivial pon-
derosity. It would be superfluous to add, that if there be
no country in Europe which can match the Teutonic in
scribes, there is none which it does net distance in readers.

A HINT TO COACH-HIRERS.—A French-
man bailed a jarvey in St. Paul's church-yard, and ordered
coachey to drive him to Finsbury-square. When he ar-
rived at his destination, by way of St. Martin's-le-Grand
and Ilarbimn, he inquiipd the fare, which appeared to
him so enormous that he asked, " Could not you, Mister
Coach-a-man, drag me mosh of a more near a vay ?"--
.4 No, mounseer," bluntly replied coachey, " it's quite as
near, I reckon, us going along
Cheapside." " Vat is dat?
Sheap-side !" cried the Frenchman, in an agony of in-
dignation ; cc dat is de side for me, for vy you drag poor
foreigner all along de dear side yen de sheap side do all as
Je same !!' And it was some time before he could be_ per-
suaded that the fare in that case would have been aorauch.'

PORTSMOUTH, SEPT. s.—Their. Majesties tht
Empress of Brazils and the Queen of Portugal,
with their respective suites, sailed on Sunday after•
noon from Spithead, with a fair wind, in the Impe-
ratrix, attended by the other Brazilian frigate Isabel,
and the corvette Maria Isabel, for Rio de Janeiro.
The Gloucester, 74, Captain H. Stuart, from • the
Eastward, anchored at St. Helen's on the same
morning, when she took on board a fore-yard from
this Dock-yard, and again weighed when the Bra-
zilian squadron made sail from Spithead. On the
latter's arrival at St. Helen's, the Gloucester joined
and sailed with them as an escort. She will attend
them past the Western Islands, and then proceed
to the Mediterranean.

The Lord Suffield transport, which arrived o►.
Saturday last from Sierra Leone, brought to Eng-
land 94 men of the Royal African Colonial Light
Infantry, under the command of Lieutenant W. E.
Stanley, as well as invalids, under the care of Hos-
pital-Assistant Murray. The colony, previous to
the departure of• the Lord Suffield, had been more
unhealthy than usual, the following having been re-
cent victims to the climate, viz.:—Kenneth Mac-
auley and Joseph Reffell, Esqrs., the former hat:
been 20 and the hitter 14 years at Sierra Leone ;
Lieutenant Patterson, R.A. Corps, Acting Major of
Brigade; Messrs. dough, Christenson, Grove,
G. Barber, G. Cole, Jarvis, M4Cullam, two Wes-
le)an Ministers; Mrs. De Peir, wife of the Brazi-
lian Consul; Mrs. T. H. Barber, &c, There are not
now any white troops at Sierra Leone, the garrison
consisting of about 80, being composed of the
Royal African Corps, and a recruiting party of the
.Ist and 2d West India Regiments. Major Ricketts,
the Lieutenant-Governor, was in good health, and
had made many improvements—his measures were
considered better than those adopted by his prede-
cessors. Instead of maintaining the liberated Afri-
cans two years on rations as formerly, he imme-
diately after their gaining strength locates them in
the mountain village, and gives to each man an
allotment of ground and 3d. per diem for six months;
in which period many of them build comfortable
dwellings. Besides throwing them on their own
resources, this policy stimulittes them to habits of
industry, and tends more to civilize them dm any
steps that had been previously taken.
The Royal Marine Artillery have this week sup•
plied detachments to make up the full complement
of the Britannia, Gloucester, and Melville. These
are the only line-of-battle ships yet under orders for
the Mediterranean. The Melville, 74, Capt. A.
Schomberg, went out of harbour on Wednesday,
and will proceed to that station as soon as Captain
Schomberg is released from his dutieS as a member
of the Court Martial now sitting on the trial of
Capt. Dickenson.
The Blossom,:16, Commander Richard Owen,
arrived on Tuesday, from the Eastward. She will
proceed, in the course of the ensuing week, to the
East Indies.

The Lightning, Capt. Dickinson, at Plymouth,
will go out of harbour next week. She is destined
to relieve the Heron, at the Brazils.
DEVONPORT, SEPT. s.—ln one of the late heavy
gales, on the Scotch coast, his Majesty's surveying-
vessel, Investigator, Mr. Thomas, Master,
Commander, had a very narrow escape. At one
time, running eight knots an hour, they passed a
rock not ten yards distant, and another so near one
could have leaped on it; however, by dint of perse-
verance and kindness of Providence, they were
enabled to reach Moray Frith, off Cromarty, with
some injury to her masts, nearly all the bulwarks
washed away, with all the provisions, casks, live
stock, &c., that were on deck.

We learn that the Caledonia, 120, now under
repair at this Dock-yard, is to take the place of the
Victory guard-ship, at Portsmouth, in the ensuing
spring. _ _ _

Thomas Byam Martin, K.C.8., Comptroller
of the Navy Board, arrived here on Thursday with
his Secretary, on an official visit, and returned to
London yesterday.

Mr. Foot, Chief Officer of the Coast Guard sta-
tion at Cawsand, seized a boat on Sunday night, off
Port Wrinkle, in which were seven men, and 24
tubs of run brandy.
A 74-gun ship is now building at Van Dieman's
Land, with teak timber from Trincomalee ; and,
strange to relate, India rubber is now generally used
in sheathing vessels, by straining a thin coat over
the surface. India rubber cotton is also used as an
impervious covering, wherever such is requisite;
and the use of both will shortly be extended to
England.
A Court of Inquiry is now sitting at St. Mary's,
one of the Scilly Islands, to investigate certain
charges of negligence against the Chief Officer and
Chief Boatmen of the Preventive Water Guard at
Tresco, with reference to a late smuggling transac-
tion on that island. Captain Evance, R.N., from
Penzance, is the President.

Mr. J. Perriam, Master, is appointed to the Isis;
and Mr. Rae, Master, to the Pearl.

The quarterly meeting of the Royal Naval Annui-
tant Society was held at their Rooms, in Fore-
street, and most numerously attended. The sue
cessful progress of this institution is not only highly
gratifying to the best wishes of its founders and
friends, but must in its effects prove of infinite be-
nefit to the representatives of the various members.
The Actuary, in his Report to the Committee,
stated, that the present invested capital in the Bank
of England amounted to 47,2001. (after the pay-
ment of two years' annuities and all expenses), and
the number of members to 2,030. We have always
advocated the cause of this society, inasmuch as its
establishment for the amelioration of human cala-
mity, and its affording support when most needed,
entitle it to hold a conspicuous rank among the
many benevolent institutions which do honour to
the British name. For the sole benefit of the naval
service was it founded, and proud indeed should they
feel at the Annuitant Society taking so high a stand.
