frishman.' In 2 vols. Whittaker and Co., London.

This work is called a novel—we take it to be an auto-
biography, written ,by some ingenious member of
O'Connell's "tail," avid written too, no doubt, for the
laudable purpose of procuring a few sheep heads and
trotters during a constrained but patriotic residence
in St. Giles' tinting • the present session of parlia-
inent. We can only make room for the introduction of
Mr. O.Blarney into the world. • • '• • " •
• "My'narae is O'Btarney. I was born beside a hedge, under,
Mnbi•ella, during a shower, about a stone's throw' fromoey
father's'farm-housein the immediate neighbourhood of Galway.
The night previous to -ray introduction into this vale of tears
was marked by a singular occurrence. MV another, a' plump
philanthropist of forty, dreamed that she ,Was brought to bed of
a rope-La circumstance which the gossips' in the neighbour- •
hood-one and all agreed betokened something extraordinary in
rn!i career. '
" My father was a middle-aged farmer in the usual indifferent
circumstances. Iu his 'notions of business this gentleman was
a stanch advocate of the free-trade system, and from his vici-
nity to the sea-coast he had frequent opportunities of,reducing
his favourite theory to practice. He was not, however, one of
your vulgar, showy tradesmen, who make a boast of their profits,
and carry on business as if froM ostentation, beneath the-glaring
eye of day; far otherwise,. he -waii•quiet, diffident, and reserved
in his nature, thy in alluding to his gains, and -allowed night
only TO be the witness of his more important:occupations. • •
Sikh -.being the' two-fold nature of his vatationi•ihat
is to
say, being a farmer bydai, and a smuggler by night; it must
be manifest that'be had little 'or no time to throw away on my
education,- who;4accordingly, shot up from infancy to boyhood
as wild And undisciplined asa•Connemara colts"
Our hero is placed under the care of au Irish :priest
who gives him.such excellent advice that he appears to
have acted upon it in all his after intercourse with the•
world..
"Ever-bear in mind, Terence," he-was often in the habit of
saying, "that the world is large enough for us all, and that in
order to succeed, it is only necessary that we desire it. True,
society is a sea fall of rocks and breakers; still, he who trims his
sails according to wind and weather will he pretty sure to navi-
gate it with safety. Most men, however, quit port in the,
shippe of fools'—that is to say, start on their voyage in; what
they call, a spirit of truth • and independence. Now these,
though plausible, are silly- terms, and mean neither •more or
less than- that they are resolved to set upaheir own judgment
in opposition to that of the world. Yom I should hope, will be
guilty of no such presumption. Clever as you may deem your-
self, the world is -cleverer still; so take my ;Advice—yield to it—,
flatter it—fall in with its humours, and adopt its prejudices, till
you have' made it your friend for life. A man who quarrels
with society, oh, Terence tis like a school-boy, who hopes to
spite his master by going without his own dinner. • * *
' " Moreover, in your intercourse with society,. be careful to
reserve your smiles for those above, and your frowns for those
beneath you. If. however, you cannot reconcile it to your
innate sense of virtue, to be perpetually .flattering your supe-
riors,-you can easily make up matters with your conscience, by
telling truths by wholesale toyour inferiors. There is one
more point which I cannot too strongly impress on.p:)ur c.
lion. Never forget that you were born and hied a catholic.
Without religion, oh, my child! vain are the hopes of man!
Dici: I have done."

the author's reflections upon the moral and mental con-
dition of the slave population of
,Africa. . ;. • . •
"When wegaze on the -African in his natiVe•soil, we'sce.ta
poor wretch. born to-misery and destitute of hope; .none of the
consolations, none of the inspiring Motives of life attend him.
Troia the hour when he first draws bicath, to the moment when
he' resigns it to his Maker, be' is a stave. Surrounded by the
darkest species of fanaticism, he. is fdressicarmed by-the will of
'his 'pareitts;thedespotisin of the great"inen. of 'his country, or
the oracular predictions and judgments cif the fetish priesthood
1--1:a party more powerful that, either—under the hands of this
triple, complicated, and influential authority, the iveb of his.
destiriyiSiwoven. He has no escape, no plea of avoidance no
-hope' of tnerey-; he must submit to the potent and unlimited
poWer that consigns him to despair. He is liable, at all periods
of his life, to be taken off by violenee, poison; or starvation.
When the decree of the malignant sorcerer gees forth, or the
coimpands of the tyrannical chieftain; or the unnatural verdict
of his: sordid end cruel parents, he is condemned to unremitting
toil;.ot, perhaps; to a revolting death. 'lf he desire to escape
the- penalty, he has no resource' but suicide. This prolific
'source of crime and grief is attested by Bowdich and Hutchison,
-iirtheir mission to the Ashantee capital;. and• the fact is con-
'finned by' the testimony of several African travellers, who have
penetrated 'the interior. Even in the towns nearest to the
coast, where the natives maintain constant intercourse with
ciiilized nations, and 'where it' might be expected that these
atrocities should become 'softened by the example of educated
habits., numbers of lives are continually sacrificed to the most
barbarous and cruel rites. Death seems to be the ordinary
-vent for the -hatred; er the wild. justice of an African ; but,
;sometimes, it is commuted to perpetual slavery, and, in either
alternative, the mass of the natives are the victims of their
superiOrs, or of the sanguinary customs of a most lamentable
superstitidn. Prisoners taken in war are unceremoniously de-
capitated. their enemies not-merely contenting themselves with
the last extremity of barbarous punishment, but generally
'exulting over the execution with savage merriment, that proves
their utter insensibility to the finer feelings of humanity. At
'the celebrated battle of Dodowah, our allies arrested the grati-
fication of their atrocious revenge upon the prisoners they had
taken, only to reward their own clemency%by selling their
enemies as slaves. Thus if the'African escape death, it is but
to fall into slavery; and, it is needless to • observe, that the
slavery he endures in his own country, where all things con-
spire to oppress him. is of a worse character than that which
he suffers under a different rule. At borne the situation of the'
African is, in all respects, dreadful; without any knowledge of
the supreme Being, or any ititelleCtual cniture, the only guide,
.for his actions• is the example Ais parents, or the warning
voice of the fetish-meu; and,, being unaffected .by any sense of
'moral restraint, he gives way to all the evil propensities of his
!nature, which are obviously called into constant action, by the
pressure of domestic desPotisin. •,-
! " No-it, it is evident from this brief
.and inadequate view of
the miserable condition ifie-fro at home, that his Cap-
tivity.among Christians is lint a
_r.enoVal" froM one state of
slavery to another, .with an aecOuipa4iing Chance, .that the
;new slavery mayproduce benefits Which could:nut be extracted
!from the old. I. do not contendthat -the 'slavery which pre-
,vails in christian communities is not to be deplored, and that
'it does not exhibit many features that are of a disgraceful cha-
'racter; but I .contend that reprehensible as it is, it rescues the
`unfortunate African from still more deplorable and disgraceful
circumstances. The poor creatures who are brought
.to the
`coast, and sold for slaves, havet in the majority of instances,
a
'been slaveLt home, and in many cases must have forfeited
their liVet had they remained in AfriCa,, either for crimes; or
'the gratification of revenge. The mass of the natives are simi-
',larlv circumstanced. Those tilos are led to battle are nothing

`command theui; the prisoners, pt. war are tiid'amougst,the"
'leaders, and when they ha:vet-pore than it is convenient or de-
'sirable to keep, they either destr"y, them, or dispose of them to
persons who come' from the coast, to deal rn this wretched traffic.
