" Toe Poisoners of the Seventeenth Century" (No. II.), is full of interest ; and " The Shakspcare Papers," by Dr. lhtginn, are repleto with vigour of thought and expression. The learned and ingenious commentator has chosen the character of Bottom, the Weaver, for his present paper, and charmingly cloth he dilate on the delicate Titania—the beautiful fairy Queen, and her grotesque passion. " The Autobiography of a Good Joke," " The Man with the Club Foot," and " An Excellent Offer" are well written sketches. " The Memoir of Beau Nash " will also be found full of amUserirnt and interest. " The Miscellany" is adorned with a fine portrait of the Beau, after a drawing by T. FAudson. It is executed in the best style of the art. There are also two etchings, by George Cruickshank. Albeit not in the, table of contents, we eano.3t forbear noticing a fine woodcut, emblematic of t e French ritvointion wtjie h " amil the advertj.sements. \Ve long furirst Number Pears rof Thie's History of the Frone:i Revolution," which Mr, P entley has announced.—Cublio Packet. 1: xE OLD CoMMODO,itt.—On the high seas, in the storm, the chase, :ind the engagement, Captain Marryat is ever aigni„htits observes ; " and if his shore sketches occasionally thatrves the Dublin Packet, " let him but get afloat, o,,en in genuine tar's a version, a steamer, and, 101_ he is himself a Me.ilyat the best magiranni.Excepting Cooper, we deem novelistNvheh of the day.

Sir Octavius Bacuissart, the old Coramotore, compels his nephew, a high.spirited youth, to accomPa7him to sea, and in one of his fits of violence threatens og him. To avoid the disgrace Augustus jumps overboard, and is supposed to have been drowned. Rebecca, the only daughter of Sir Octavius, a romp and termagant, Is doatingly fond of her cousin, and having been made actpainted with the cause of his: supposed suicide,, by a middy who had deierted, she leads the surly Commodore What he would call " the devil of a life." The attractions of " The Old Commodore" are many and varied, and the scenes on shipboard are equal to those in " Peter Simple.",
