OLIVER TWIST. 3 Vols. Bentley, London, 1838. ' e have here " Oliver Twist" completed in three lemes, and more attractive volumes have not for some the issued from the Press. By far the greater portion of th:nn have already appeared in Bentley's Miscellany, but dose kast half of the third volume is entirely new ; and pa ribeS the murder of the poor girl Nancy by her ruffian subrasemuur, Bill Sykes, the house-breaker ; the wretch's queut death by suicide ; and the execution of that l v:44eulate Israelite, Fagin. This last is a truly powerful e of description, and in places reminds us of Victor fe,:rs " Last Days of a Condemned Criminal." We prenot 1-.; h°lvever, to that, because it is equally vigorous, and en 1 alf exaggerated. And now that it is brought to a hasty and abrupt one, by the bye, for we have uut ?T y we slightest notion why Fagin is hanged ; all we kratuhis.that he deserves it—we cannot refrain from conding Boz on his masterly conception of this characIt 1• and the equally adroit manner in which it is executed. there superior even Jonathan Wilde ;" first, because srd eseics more of the leaven of real humanity about it ; oo 'ndlY, because throughout the delineation, we see -ever impelling motives to villainous action. Grasping, _ 84ted avarice, shown in all the various phases of his ofatherY, is the one leading feature, and never lost sight of, fro,„e Jew's character ; but Jonathan often commits crimes b4t-' a mere love of scoundrelism, which is not nature, iii something beyond it. Bill Sykes is a vulgar, blusteroft enounon-place, relieved, however, by incidental touches houumour and feeling, which none but a man of superior wen, of ter , mind could have thrown into it. The characb, e' Nancy is admirably sustained throughout ; indeed, Vrrttthit of consistency, it is the best in the tale. The -°ll, s personages—such as the Brownlows, Grimwigs, for Gyan,fortemque Cloanthum"—ar mere en.tities. As for Monks, he is a melo-dramatic monsterof the Fitzball school, fit only to be played by 0. ettyth, in a black wig, at the Coburg. Rose Maylieis a „simpleton ; but the Bumbles—particularly the old l'enemso—are capital. We recognize truth in their every parnent. On the whole, we may say that " Oliver hant" is hiconnparably the finest tale of the season. It .iess more Humour but far power and variety of oh: aerVa.ion than , the' Pickwick Papers."

SEFTON.—This distinguished and muchbeloved nobleman has been removed from his town residence to Stoke, and we are truly sorry to learn that his Lordship remains in the same alarming state, almost without the posibility of recovery.-12cading Mercury. The Government had yesterday morning a courier from London. The despatches which he brought announce that the conference had not yet met en the Ist of August.—Brussels Paper. By letters from the West Indies we learn that the Houses of Assembly of Tobago and of Dominica had resolved on terminating the apprenticeship system in these islands on the Ist inst. 'We are glad to be able to contradict the statement of the death of Mr. Poyntz, the Member for Midhurst ; Mr. Poyntz has been very ill, but is now much better. The rumour originated in the Brighton papers, and is still going the round of the local journals.— Morning Paper, In the classification made by the Pension List Committee of " Literary," Ice., the number of recipients is 83. The report of the Irish Railway Commission is not given in favour of any particular lino or lines, but comes to the eon, elusion, that as no rail line in Ireland would pay more than 4 per cent., the Government should take the railway system in that country under its management. A melqnchclly suicide took place at Luton, Bedfordshire, last week. Mr. Nicholas Adams, of that place, had for some time past bean in a low responding state of mind, and not having any employment to occupy his mind, his malady became worse, and he has been heard to say he must make away with himself. On Thursda! morning, which day he had fixed for visiting some p:operty he possessed in Northamptonshire, he was seen as early as half past five drosscd as if about to take his departure, and in about three quarters of an hour he was found hanging in his own gateway, where he had suspendel him.  elf-Irani -an irrtrrring.----Arrinquest has since been held on the body f the deceased, and a verdict of " Temporary insanity" returned. As an evitknee of the increase of travelling attrlbtitable to the formation of railways, at present the number of Pal" aOO sengers through Selby, on a moderate calcu'ation, amounts to daily, whilst the number in a ccrrespording season, previous to tn.' opening of the Leeds and Selby Ealway, did not exceed paper. •
