• QZVE4E.ArGE. 3 Vols. Bentley, London, 1842.
In this romantic story, which it is plain to see, is
the result of no little research and pains-taking, an
attempt has been made to pourtray the domestic
Zanners and usages of the Romans, in the days of the
the
Nero ; the characters and persecutions of
Ic Christian converts during that sanguinary period ;
their mode of secret worship, while exposed
v,°,1.9*,1y to the prying eyes of their enemies in the
i:Veral city. Sketches also—for the most part
friannd accurate—are. given of the social life of the
and their mysterious Druidical rites, per-
-4r1,1,1.C.4 in the chief temple of their priests, Stone-
.*% whence the tale derives its title. The hero is
but
man namen Pudens, son of the Arch-Druid,
:at who has been torn from his parens in infancy,
litid,cducated in Rome. Unconscioi,s of his parentage,
he feel all the contempt of a Roman soldier for the
_ritish barbarians,- but having unexpectedly en-
r,.natered his father one night in the neighbourhood
Stonehenge, the secret of his birth is revealed to
131115, and then he decides on taking part with his op-
r..e'scd countrymen against his former friends and
tis
src'eiates. • Accordingly he accompanies the Arch-
el to the capital city of the British King Ar-
i:ragus, near the site of modern Bath, by whom he is
()sliitably received and introduced to his daughter
fen",seirana. Soon afterwards the King's troops are de-
Ceu with prodigious loss by the Roman General
in.-et"ins, and Roscrana is taken captive, and, on the
17)elleral's recal's to the imperial city, she accompanies
he
as a sort of hostage, and is lodged at the house of
Philosopher, Seneca, of the luxury and magnifi-
e" of whose palace we have a very graphic descrip-
Pudens, too_ , after various changes of fortune,
'
his way to Rome, where he contrives to renew
xr; acquaintance with. Roscrana, and to become inti-
tioeate with Lucan, Martial, and many of the eminent
,tr its and historians of that day. Ultimately both he
efi.,(4„ his "lady love" are converted to Christianity,
• ' the en3r through the instrumentality of St. Paul, who
ti 41 preaching the Gospel at Rome; and in due
tiiie they return to Britain, just in time to receive the
P,essing, and close the eyes of King Arviragus.
."11"1 this sketch, slight as it is, it will be seen that
ei"iirh.enge possesses many striking points of interest,
will be sure to please the better educated class of
ited44ers, if only by reason of its antiquarian know-
the ge, the strength and simplicity of its language, and
familiar acquaintance which it shows with the
de n storey of classical literature. Had some of its
r.seriptions been abridged, or stirring incidents sub-
iztuted for them, we think that the tale would have
en improved—at least as regards its ad captandum
quul►tie, for in one place the narrative actually
Z.4',es to a dead halt; while the author is cataloguing,
_
ththe minuteness of an auctioneer, the furniture,
ens, paintings, &c. of Seneca's palace. But, despite
tre drawbacks, Stonehenge is a very superior work,
t 7, production of a thoughtful and cultivated in-
euect.

BRAZILS.
FALMOUTH, JULY 21.-:-Arrived her Majesty's packet Pe-
terel, Lieutenant Crooke, from the Brazils. After the very
long detention at Rio de Janeiro of 33 days and 12 hours, she
sailed homewards on May 25 ' • left Bahia on June 9, and Per-
nambuco on the 15th. Her Maj. sty's packet Ranger arrived
at Rio on May 22. Her Majesty's ketch A•row arrived at
Rio ; left her Majesty's ships Erebus and Terror lying at
Berkeley Sound, East Palkland Island. on May 5, all well, hav-
ing put in there on April 6, and had been 134 days at sea. The
officers and crew were greatly in want of vegetable food, which
could not be procured on the island. Captain Ross had erected
his observatory near the settlement, and intended wintering
there to,attempt making some scientific observations with his
different ins:rusnents. The furthest point south that they had
attained tl.is year is lat. 18. 10. S., lo.i. 162 16 E.
From private accounts to be depended on we learn !hat the
dissolution of the Chambers, although looked on with a jealous
watchfulne,b by the Brazilian intere.ts in England, has created

little or no more than on ordinary sensation atten,iteg elections
generally in the Brazils. Several gentlemen who were elected
for the dissolved Chamber returned by the packet to Bahia. to
attend their several constituencies for the purpose of re-elec-
tion for the ( hambei s to meet. it was said. oil Notember 9.
Subjoined is a letter from one of our corresponeents:—
•• ltio DE JANEIKO, Mast 24.—since the departure of the
last packet (Express) we have had some important political
movements, but, thanks to the energy of the existing G.ivern-
mem , the pea, e of this province has net been disturbed.
The most important step wa- the di-solving of the Legislative
Assembly. which took place on the 2d inst. They were to have
met on the following day for the despatch of business, and from
the number of revolutionary characters among them, a stormy
session was expected. All this has been happily obviated by
judicious measures of the Government, and the act of dissolu-
tion was read in the Chamber of Deputies in profound silence.
The only mischief now feared is the influence of the Opposition
Members in the provinces. The splendid province of St. Paul's,
one of the most important in the empire, has been for some
time on the verge of an outbreak, and on the receipt of this in-
telligence a revolt took place in the town of Sorocaba, and
which, if not checked in the bud, may have the most pernicious
effects. The President's demand for troops was immediately
responded to, and on the very day en which the news was re-
ceived a number of steamers left this place with about 2.000
troops on board, so that ere long we hope for mere cheering ac-
counts from that quarter.
•• The news from Bic, Grande, the province bordering on
Monte Video, and which has been in a state of rebellion for
the last seven sears, is unimportant, and without the legalistas
are largely reinforced, there appears little hopes of speedily
regaining that important province ; indeed, many people, well
acquainted with the country say it will be impossible without
the introduction of foreign troops.
"In business everything is very dull, and these revolutionary
movements will tend to make things much worse. The
shopl.:eepers show a great unwillingness to purchase, even at
wretched prices, and we experienced the greatest difficulties
with our recoveries, goods sold at six months' credit being
seldom paid for under twelve or 'ourteen months. Coffee is
very p entiful, and the low qualities, perhaps, were never so
cheap as at present; but shippers are crippled in their
operations by the great want of shipping; there is scarcely
a disengaged vessel in port ; and small A 1 vessels readily
obtain 755. per tun for coffee to the Channel, whereas, not
two months ago, 455. to 50s. were the iates. The exchange
continues very low, and first-rate houses have refused money
to-day at 27ie. It is difficult to account for this depression,
seeing the quantity of coffee in the market, but it may, perhaps,
be accounted for by the Government coming into the market
as remitters. The money market is pretty easy, and some be-
neficial measures are expected from Signor Calmon, the Mi-
nister of Finance, who is a very talented man, and appears to
possess the entire confidence of the commercial body. Indeed
the Ministry collectively are very popular, and are, perhaps, the
best that ever ruled the destini. s of Brazil."
Passengers by the Petert I hnme—From Rio de Janeiro Mr.
and Mrs. Duval, Miss Pa on, Mr. Enley, Mr. Markland, Mr.
Duchine, Mr. Van Zeller. From Bahia, Mr. Gensley and
Mr. Briesky. In the steerage from Rio, Thomas Bray and
wife, R. Williams, J. K lleny, H. Hope. P. Williams, W.
Richards, and Mary Trewick. On freight 38,162/.
(From Stockmeyer's Price Current.)
We learn triat from the sailing of the last packet, the
Ex; reap, the exchange had undergone no material altera-
tion, having maintained itself from 271/ to •17i. and at these
rates, principally at the former, considerable business
was done for her Majesty's ship Aetwon (already arrived in
England), and for her Majesty's ship Bose, which sat ed a fort-
nieht before the Petercl. But in consequence of the very dis-
couraging accounts received by the Ranger, business had been
paralysed. and the exchange done for this packet was chiefly at
27i to 27i on Paris.
CorrEE.—Quotations show a decline of 200 rs. per arrnba ;
this amount being entirely nominal, however, as no large sales
