London : George Routledge and Co. VVv
This tastefully got up volume forms the first
of a series which those enterprising publishers,
Messrs. Routledge, have announced under the title
of " The Useful Library." As announced in the
prospectus, the plan of this series appears judicious
and well considered, and so far as can be judged
by the specimen before us, it seems likely to be
well carried out. The forms of letters contained
in the little work under notice are in general
tasteful and appropriate—simple, inornate, and
well adapted as models for familar epistolary cor-
respondence. A feature of the volume, which will
be found peculiarly useful, is that of giving the
proper styles of address for persons in every rank
of life, from royalty down to the simple tradesman ;
and also those to be observed in communication
with persons of every profession, and of all grades
in it. The book must prove welcome and highly
useful to many.

SERIALS.—Among the serials of the month we
have Punch, brimful of fan and well loaded with
satire on the various phases of Russian bravado.
It is also well filled with stinging sarcasm levelled
at the follies of the day, most of which are cleverly
lampooned by pen and pencil. The part con-
tains the completion of the twenty-sixth volume
of the work,which may not inaptly be denominated
" The wit's vade mecum." - The Home Com-

panion is an excellent miscellany of popular read-
ing, embracing the useful and the elegant, as well
as the amusing ; and it is tastefully and cleverly
illustrated by engravings of much merit. Con-
spicuous among the useful contributions is a series
on ornithology. The treatises introduced are
clearly written, and are illustrated by truthfully
executed engravings.-The Head and Heart
is a book which adds another to the thousand
and one already devoted to the improvement
of the masses, in intellectual culture; it is pub-
lished in monthly parts, at a very cheap rate.
The Young Man's Magazine is another periodical
of a similar kind, also published monthly. It has
reached its eighth number.-The Liverpool
Photographic Journal contains an able digest of
the progress of this interesting and valuable scien-
tific art. It is well and spiritedly conducted and
furnishes much valuable information. '

BEAUTY is a rock on which many a man makes ship-
wreck while in search of the pearls which adorn it.
LUXURIOUS BARBARIANS.—The Berbice Gazette of
the 24th of July states : " Gold has been discovered at
the crossing of the Colorado, also silver and copper. A
tribe of Indians had been met with who used gold bullets
for their guns."
