DR. W OLFF.

Captain Grover has received a letter from Dr.
Wolff, written on board the steam-boat at Malta
from whence he expected to sail on the. 28th ult.
and to arrive at Southampton about the 10th inst.
On Dr. Wolff's arrival in London a public meeting
will be held, when he will give an account of his
perilous journey and residence at Bokhara.
At Constantinople Dr. Wolff was received most
kindly by Sir Stratford Canning, who defrayed his
expenses from that place to Southampton.
As this is probably the last occasion Captain
Grover will have to report Dr. Wolff's progress, he
is happy to state, that during the whole of his
journey Dr. Wolff has experienced the greatest
kindness and most effective assistance from every
one in the service of her Majesty.

EUGENE SUE'S"ROMANCE—" DE ROHAN, OR, THE
COURT CONSPIRATOR."—The chief characters in this
work are all historical, and not merely so in name, but
in every particular connected with and arising out of -
their introsluction to the reader. The knowledge of this
gives a weight and value to the narrative which no
mere fiction can hope to attain in the reader's mind. An-
other noticeable feature is that the work takes a view of
the character of Louis XIV., and of his time, %holly
different from that which has long been the prevalent
one. Another admirably drawn character is the famous
Dutch philosopher, Affimus Van Den Enden, the tutor
of Spinosa, and the beloved friend and confident of John
De Wit, who also plays a conspicuous part in the story.
It would be difficult also, to find any character in fiction
that offers more exact type of the high aristocracy of the
period treated of, than does the gallant, the brilliant, the
accomplished, the high minded, yet the weak, the vacil-
latory, the inconsistent, the effeminate De Rohan.—

THE MURDER IN ST. GlLus's.—The prisoner upon
being taken to Newgate on Saturday evening was placed in
one of the cells situate in the upper part of that portion of
the gaol known as the chapel-yard, and two men appointed
to sit up with him during the night. Upon passing through
the various passages leading to his cell he held his head
down, and appeared as if anxious to escape the observation
of his fellow-prisoners. On Sunday he attended divine ser-
vice in the chapel, and was led to his seat by one of his
gaolers. He paid particular attention to the service, seldom
raising his eyes from the book. After returning to his cell
he complained of a slight headache, after which he remained
silent for several hours. The person who is appointed to
watch him during the day describes him as of the most sul-
len temperament, sitting for hours together without speak-
ing. Yesterday, between eleven and twelve o'clock, his
mother visited him, and had a long conversation with him ;
she was very much' afrxted, and repeatedly shed tears. The
prisoner was also evidently much distressed in his feelings,
although making the most strenuous efforts to conceal it
After her departure the prisoner hurried back to his cell, and
appeared very much dejected; indeed, it is the opinion of
those who are about him. and who from their experience in
such matters are entitled to some attention, that his courage,
which is but assumed, will shortly entirely desert him, and
if (as it is but too probable from the state of the calendar)
his trial should not come on before next session, he will ere
that make some species of confession.
