This really ,n eresting work is from the press OF
the Harpers, and may be had at Mr. Mckean's in

one of the best of the fashionable novels, for while
it pictures the manners of the English, and the
English court, even in the present year, it is full
alike of the agreeable and instructive. Mrs Harts-

Of naming any time prior to the 10th instant, i,nd
