SPENCER'S TRAVELS IN CIRCASSIA, KRIM TARTARY, &c.—Many adventitious circumstances exist at the present moment which give a peculiar interest to the countries delineated in the above-named volumes, and especially to Circassia. The extraordinary natural beauty of many parts of that country—the romantic historical associations connected with it—the proverbial charms of its females—and, above all, the patriotic war now raging there against her tyrannical oppressors, and the great results depending on the ultimate independence of the Circassian tribes, to which the war may lead, tend to make Mr. Spencer's amusing and instructive volumes peculiarly acceptable at the present moment.

The gardener had not more than five or six shillings in his pocket at the time ; but unwilling to give it up, and moreover being a stout sturdy fellow, he knocked the foremost man down, but was instantly felled to the ground himself by a blow from a bludgeon. He, however, succeeded in recovering his legs before the blow was repeated, and closing with the man who struck him, he threw him to the ground, and calling out " murder !
