the distressing Fire which lately occurred at New

in raising funds for the assistance of those who
have suffered by this calamity. A numerous and

From the (London) New Monthly Magazine, for


The Pilot: TILE oftbe Sea by the author
of The spy,"" pioneers,' SC. &c. 5vols. 12mo.
The very considerable power and ability dis
pla, ed in "rhc Spy,' and "1he Pioneers" the
precursors of the present volumes, have render.
ed the author of those works, who is understood
10 be MIR Cooper of New York, decided IA
vourite with the Novel readers on this side of the
Atlantic "1he Pilot" will, we feel pursuaded,
add still more to his reputation I. is fine sea-
piece. painted with bold and vigorous pencil,
and does great credit to the writer's powers,
both OF description and sentiment. Although he
has chosen q e same element for the subject of
his sketches which furnished Smollet with so
many happy delineation., yr' 'hers IS nothing o..
the copyist in MIR. Coopers pages. The Sea pie
ces of Snoliet are mostly, If not entirely humor.
Gus; but he scenes of "1he Pilot'' are of a more
chivarous and romantic character. The novel
is, however. by no means defcis mt in that broad
comic humour which seems to flow so easily from
seaman's tongue.
The scene, as in "The Spy" is laid during the
revolutionary contest, and the nominal hero is no
other than the celebrated Paul Jones, whose de-
harkaton upon Our coasts spread so much terror
during the period of the American war The
reader, however, is never made officially acqu,int-
ed with the n2mc of the hero, which he is left to
discover by sundry remote differences. The Pi-
lot himself is, in estimation, the least success.
ful character in the novel, and, indeed, the only
one with whom we feel inclined to find fault.
There is too much Byronism about him, if we
may be allowed the expression The other cha.
racters are well-drawn, spirited. distinct, and ma
tural. Tom Coffin, or Long Tom, might have
figured with great credit to himself and the au-
thor on the pages OF the Scottish novelist Many
of the scenes are admirably conceived; amongst
which we would specify the taking of ST. Ruth's
Abbey, the escape of Long Tom, and the loss of
the Ariel. The latter scene, more especially, is
worked up with degree of energy which takes
powerful effect upon the feelings of the reader
as these from across the Atlantic, and we hail
them as proofs of the growing taste and genius
| of the Americans.

on trade, do not appear to please the Brit

Accounts from Dundee declare that the re-
moval of restrictions on the linen trade,
willdeprive $4,000 poorpeople in thatquar-

persons are engaged in the silk trade, all
of whom appear anxious that there shall be
no alteration in the existing laws. The
remonstrance against a change was signed
by all the master workmen in London co.
cept one, and his objections to signing It
were of verbal nature.
The manufacturers say that the price of
provisions is so high, that it is impossible
for them, without the protection ofgovern-
ment, to compete with the manufacturers
on the continent. They, and the British
public generally, seem desirous that, in
stead of reduction of duties on imports
there shall be reduction of the assessed
taxes. The window tax is complained Of,
as being particularly onerous.

was burnt. In Tipperary, near New Inn.
a man named Conway had his scull frac-

in Kilkenny. BY misprint it was stated
that his son had shared the same fate: the
latter was wounded, but is recovering.
At or near Callaw. however, in the same
county, one Long, a process-server who
endeavored to levy tithes. was murdered
on the same day. In Limerick they are
continuing to arrest, under the Insurrec-
