opening paper is a cleverly written and learned one, upon
buhr, the historian and linguist. This article will provide

s for the student, and wells from which spring sources

rth tracing into the ocean of literature. The second article,
:tter, entitled, " gchools of Design"--being remarks upon
Iter which appeared in the Morning Chronicle of the 15th

h, written by Mr. Hayden. This letter, in a caustic

3, slightly rasps the itinerating lecturer, and exposes some
his crotchets in a humourous and witty style. It is full

ood sound sense, and very much to the point. The tale
tied " The Treasure Convoy" is a smartly told historiette
Guerilla affair, wherein Juan Marten Diez, the impeci-
o, captures a treasure waggon, defeats the escort-; but
leave the reader to find out the denouement. " The
vels of Ma Batuta" will delight the admirers of Eastern

rature. " When I was in the Legion," Part 2, is a racy
tinuation of an Irish story. " The Flight to Cyprus" is
Detic narrative, well and vigorously told, from the pen of
Simmons. We find " The World of London," No. 2,
of spirit and talent. We like these papers extremely ;
hey nromise well. Warren Hastings" is continued.

Wars of the Scots in France" is valuable from the his-
. facts it brings forward. All such papers as this and

foregoing must be read with deep interest. " Ten Thou-
id a Year" winds up this agreeable number. Of Mr. Tit-
Titmouse and his friend Oily Gammon, the original
whom we think we can plainly recognise, we will say no-
ng, but that as much pleasure, satisfaction, and interest
1 be excited as in any of the former portions of the story.

his most delightful publication continues the even tenor

, winning the hearts and good opinions of all who

:he luck to possess a quiet hour to read it in, and is only
lown with regret that it does not occupy a longer, much
r space of time. Mr. Wareing Webb,' a more enter-
ig tradesman than whom does not live in Liverpool,
this work weekly and monthly on the increase. We
t it will take its stand amongst the best literature of
