LITERATURE.

NEWFOUNDLAND lIV 1842. In 2 Vols. .13!) Sir
-Richard Henry Bonnycastle. London, Honry Coaurn.
We are not acquainted with any work which we
could so honestly recommend for the guidance of
settlers in Newfoundland as the volumes now before
us, from the fertile pen of Lieutenant• Colonel Sir H.
11. Bonnycastle. As a sequel to his " Canadas in
1841," it supplies a body of information exceedingly
valuable—the accumulation of extensive research, and
laborious personal investigation. First, we have a
very interesting historical sketch of the early settlement
of the island; next, its history down to the current
year—an account of its mineral, vegetable and animal
produe ti on s—its climate and meteorology—its agricul-
tural resources—its moral and physical relations, go-
vernment, and policy—its fisheries, trade, shipping, and
revenue, lightened off with an abundance of anec-
dotes of the manners, customs, and peculiarities of
its inhabitants. Though constantly squabbling about
politics, Sir H. H. Bonnycastle bears testimony that.
" the people are very orderly, and respectful to their
superiors ; temperance has enrolled under its banners
the greater proportion, and housebreaking and serious
crimes are actually unknown ; and that it is univer-
sally admitted that there is no country in the civilized
world, where greater simplicity of manners; or less
crime exists, than in Newfoundland." The future
historian of this fine colony will turn to this work
with pleasure and profit. It is embellished with some
good views, an excellent map of the island, and a
portrait of the Governor, Sir John Harvey.

GLENBUCKET, SEPT. I.—A wish having been ex •
pressed by the Earl of Fife that the tenantry on his 'es-
tates should express their loyalty and attachment to our
gracious and beloved Queen on her arrival in the ancient
kingdom of Scotland, no- sooner was this known, than
thd people of this parish, animated with one spirit
to mark their respect for their noble and generous
landlord, and love and attachment to their Queen
and country, met on the evening of the 31st ultimo, at
the top of Craiguscore, 2,000 feet above the level
of the sea, whence an immense bonfire gleamed far over
the surrounding country. The health and happiness of
our beloved Queen, Prince Albert, the Prince of Wales,
and all the loyal Family, were enthusiastically drunk
amid deafening cheers ; also, the health of our generous
lt the Earl of Fife, and all the members of that
y family. Afterwards, a ball was held at Suybraes,
Lonbdile Ord' rm
where upwards of 300 happy people danced till daylight.

ACCIDENTAL DEAl'm—Yesterday morning, be-
tween the hours of four and five o'clock, two young men
were discovered by the watchman of the Ballyhooly-
-1,414 attempting to rob the garden of Mr. James O'Hea.
The watchman endeavoured to secure the offenders, who
immediately fled in the direction of Clifton-terrace,
which overhangs a rock of some 50 or 60 feet in height.
One of the young men, probably not being aware of the
unprotected nature of the precipice, missed his footing,
:Inn was dashed with such violence to the bottom that,
when discovered in a short time afterwards, he was en?
tirelv d.tad. This is the second death, and the third ac-
