Temple Bar, which never falls off, and is never dull,

starts this year with three new serials, of which "The Three Brothers,"

by Mr. Norris, promises to be exceptionally good. "Love or Money" is the name of another and powerful story which is also- commenced in this number. The name of the author is not given, but when regard is had to style and locale, it would not be difficult to guess his name. " Perdita" is an excellent bit of Irish tragi- comedy. Under the title of "Recollections of an Octogenarian Civil Servant," Mr. H. W. Chisholm, formerly Chief Clerk of H,M.'s Exchequer, commences his reminiscences. As Mr. Chisholm's memory is evidently a treasure-house of mots and good stories, these promise to be more than ordinarily interesting.
