PROGRESS OF PUB LICATION.

THE literary world is still dull. The only novelties of any kind before us are a fiction by Mr. Brambletye House SMITH, entitled Jane Lomax, or a Mother's Crime; a reprint of The Modern Pythaieorean, with an elaborate Life of its author, the late Dr. MACNISH, by Mr. MOIR, the once-famed DELTA of BluckwGods Magazine; and (received et the eleventh hour) Mr WINGROVE COOKE'S last volume of his History of Party,—which has the greatest promise of the whole batch.
