of nature and probability , not alloying' of any exaggerated colouring to mar the artistic proportions of his picture . The trials and ' sufferings of the poor female relative and dependent—n class of society none the less numerous from the fact of its heinjr almost entirely unrecognised—are faithfully and touehing-ly delineated : and the reader experiences a laudible thrill of satisfaction when the two heroines , Laura Hope and Anne Ellison , rise triumphant over the difficulties by which their early ¦ career lias been surrounded , and find refuge from the taunts and insults of unprincipled and exacting kinspeople , in the arms of affectionate and decidedly eligible husbands . Without doubt , this tale is worth the reading , and we can safely recommend it to the insijection of the public . the Eleanor Edeni
JEaston and its Inhabitants , by Hon . , s also a work of considerable merit . Were it not for a tendency on the part of the authoress to enlarge unnecessarily upon unimportant details , which somewhat retard and render tedious the action of the storv , the present would be a most agreeable and instructive work of ' fiction . The characters , which are chiefly selected from that favoured and privileged class of society , generally designated by the term " fashionable , " are all drawn with the most delicate and artistic finish , and cannot fail to secure the approbation of the reader . We refrain from going into any particulars of this story , the plot being scarcely of that description which shows up favourably in an analysis . We will , therefore , conclude our remarks by saying , the substance of which has been already stated , that were this decidedly clever production reduced to about one half its present compass " the result Svould be in the highest degree satisfactory , both to the author arid the reader .

Health Resorts Of Britain, And How To Pr...
HEALTH RESORTS OF BRITAIN , AND HOW TO PROFIT BY THEM . * / nrtHlS is a comprehensive account of all the sea bathing , 1 watering , and other places of resort to which the overwoi-ked population of our great cities occasionally retreat . These are so numerous and so various m locality , we may say in quality , that it must have cost the author cprisidev & ble ' trouble to condense an account of them into One volume ; and we are bound to say we think he has donehis work very satisfactorily . Dealing with so many places it was impossible he could be interested in all , arid he appears to have very fairly pomted out the class j > f persons and disorders most suitable to each .
The remarks on sea bathing arid sea resorts are particularly valuable , and should be carefully studied , especially by those advanced in life . Indeed , we can heartily recommend the book to all who are on the look out "for a- health resoi't , as it contains a vast amount of information . The wood cuts give a lively idea of the places treated of , and in every way the work is most creditably got up , and at an extremely moderate pi'ice ..
Collier, Coleridge, And Shakespeare.J "V...
COLLIER , COLERIDGE , AND SHAKESPEARE . j "VTEVER was any author subjected to such treatment as our great j \ dramatist . Every possible kind of intellect malces every possible kind of speculation regarding what he has written ; and the commentators bore the reading public with their squabbles to such aii extent , that if he were > not the most delicious as well as tlio prol ' oundest of writers , bis productions would be avoided as the naosfc distressing and puzzling ever published . . . . The present addition to . the Collier qontroversy , or rather attack , eeems to us totally uncalled for . The belligerents in that controvei'sy seemed to be fully aware thafc they had tried the patience of readei's to the utmost * and that Mr , Collier ' s known probity , of ¦ character was an unanswerable reply to the rancorous and petty attacks made on his works . That he had ! fallen into Borne errors was likely enough ; but that he was the unmitigated scoundrel his few opponents tried to make
out , was believed by no one who had not mingled with the clique , who having rashly commenced the attack , seemed to think there was a necessity to continue it , at any cost to their victim , or to their own characters as reasonable and jiist men . The present pamphlet chiefly impugns the accuracy of M > . Collier ' s reports of some lectures of Coleridge ; a matter , as it appears to us , not of the slightest moment , as we have Coleridge ' s Lectures on Shakespeare in a much better and more satisfactory state . Next comes a bitter attack on some of tho readings of the 1632 , or Perkins' Folio , which tho author may certainly impugn , if it pleases him . Amidst all this hubbub of contrpversy and heat of contest , We are bound to say tho author makes some excellent suggestions as to various readings , and seems to have a pure taste and an appreciation of the great writor . Embedded as tho now readings are , in the wrangle' of contention , wo oxpoct vory few persons will trouble themselves to dig out tho good from such a mass of petty and tedious controversy . ' ¦ . . ¦

Foreign" Correspondence. Special. Hanove...
FOREIGN" CORRESPONDENCE . SPECIAL . Hanover , August 7 , 1860 . SEVERAL semi-official reports are in speculation respecting the late meeting of the Prince Regent of Prussia and the Emperor of Austria ; and the Prussian Cabinet , it is said , has despatched to the different German Courts a circular note , in which it is stated that the results obtained at the Baden meetinghave been perfected by the meeting at Teplitz . The two monarchy are of one accord to defend , at all risks , the integrity of every state of the Confederation ; and , though no positive stipulations have been madethey have come to an understanding upon all ¦ the
, great European questions . As one consequence of the meeting at Teplitz a note has likewise been despatched to the Tuileries by the Prussian Government , expressing the conviction that the neutrality of Switzerland can never appear sufficiently sectired so long as France refuses to declai-e the nature and extent of the obligations attached to her late territorial acquirements . The Prussian Cabinet entertains the hope that France will perceive the absolute necessity of affording every guarantee that may secure the conipletest neutrality to Switzerland , and thereby restore confidence to Europe generally . A note to the same effect has been , or will shortly be , despatched by Austria to Paris . ThoUonau Zeitung publishes the following semi-offieial notice of the Teplitz meeting : BadenBaden have been followed bth
— The eventful days of - y e no less eventful days of Teplitz . Their significance and their aim were the same . An equal and common necessity drew the princes of Germany together . What was commenced at Baden has been completed at ' Teplitz . ' : The broadest and firmest basis for a united German policy upon all the great questions which are now agitatino- Europe has been established . The interview between the two grelt sovereigns of Germany , upon whose good understanding IbeY fate not only of Austria and Prussia , but all Germany , depended , has confirmed the happy union of all the Federal States . " Without pretending to be initiated in . the late translations of the two . princes , we may declare it as our conviction that a thorough accord exists among all the Govefnments of the Confederation , and more especially between the two Great Powers . AVeTjelieve it to be no longer a matter of doubt that guarantees have been obtained for the combined action of all the forces of the country , in the event of any aggression upon German territory . For the attainment of this long-desired ' , not only Germany , but all Europe , has reason to be thankful . The poUcy of this country is clearly not aggressive , but pure-y defensive . Consequently , the close union of all the States can never be a source of alarm to other nations . It serves merely as a guarantee for the maintenance of peace , and the balance of , power . The Press declares the following to be a reliable report of the meeting : — " With regard'to Venetia no guarantee treaty Ms frectr *^ entered into . On the other hand , it may be accepted as a fact that the eventuality of an attack upon Venetia has been taken into consideration , and aline of conduct arranged . As long as Italians alone shall be opposed to Austria , Prussia will in no way feel bound to leave her position of neutral observation ; but should the events of the war take such a turn as to lead to another intervention on the part of France against Austria , should the legions of Napoleon again descend from the Alps , Prussia would regard this as a serious menace of the existing balance of power , and feel obliged to interfere actively . Herein lay the difficulty , for should Prussia , in such an event , be of . effectual assistanoe to Austria , shewould require not only the exercise of all her strength , but the combined strength of entire Germany—an utter impossibility under the present military constitution of the Diet . A compromise was , therefore , entered into at Teplitz to tho effect that , in case of another intervention in Italy by France , the Federal army will move upon the Rhine , and the supreme [' command bo . conferred upon the Prince Regent . The importance of this arrangement for the integrity of Austria and the influence of Germany , as nlso for the maintenance of tho balance of power , is self-evident . According to tho Breslau Gazette ^ tho Prince Rogent , on his arrival at Teplitz , greeted his Ministers with great heartiness , and expressed himself somewhat in these words : — " Gentlemen , our lino of conduct remains unaltered . We shall not deviate from the path we have adopted ; and I think Austria will follow us in the same direction . ' , It is , therefore , to be hoped that each country , in its own way , will strive to reach one and the same object . " It is generally supposed that tho sudden and apparently frank appeal toH ; he ~ poople ~ c > f ~ Knglan ^ in a great measure , to be attributed to the meeting at Teplitz . Opinions are divided as to the effect it will produce upon tho publio mind , of England ; but tho majority of the journals aro inclined to think i . t will lend forco to tho peace-preaching of tho Manohestor party , and disinclino the nation from a closer . alliance with the Gorman Powers . Soino would gladly believe that tho Emperor ' s lottor has arrived a day behind the fair ; and that a coalition has already been concluded between England and tho chief Continental Powers . By all appearances England 1 mb laboured hard to bring about a good understanding between
