Boons. A diminished number of arrivals continues to mark the closing season. Dr Bushnan's volume on Cholera, and "Hearts in Mortmain," are already disposed of. Mr. Burke, the genealogist and herald, has tried his hand at avowed fiction, in the shape of a number of tales connected with family his- tories; some of them being not only founded in fact, but probably having little more of fiction than the form.. Mr. Rae's Expedition to trace the yet unsurveyed coasts of the Arctic Ocean undertaken at the desire of the Hud- saes Bay Company, promises an accouirt of adventure, perils, and privations, mei as the hardy servants of that company continually undergo. The new volume of the HAluyt Society does not appear likely to furnish so much interesting reading as most of its predecessors, from its being of the nature of reported rather than observed knowledge. "Denton Hall" is a novel of the present day, smartly written, and we suspect with a spice of satire ; things which may not produce a complete fiction, but which go to make a readable one.

This is followed by a bis- graphy of the conspirator himself; in which new light is thrown upon his early yeara, by civic and family documents. There is little doubt that the zealous Papist was born and brain Protestant, azul probably converted to Ro- manian' through his mother's second marriage.]

_Relish:sus Mystery Considered. (The Catholic Series.) [Fat so much an essay as a series of thoughts or considerations, designed to stimulate counter thoughts in others. The mystery spoken of refers to the =dent mysteries : the object of the author is not to explain their practices archreologically, but to tram the origin of religious mystery to the nature of the human mmd.

[The account of a series of experiments instituted to trace the effects of some of the hydropathic baths, chiefly upon the circulation and respiration; which effects Dr. Johnson reports to have been very considerable. It is in fact, to an action upon the blood that the Doctor attributes the curative influence of hydropatIty ; though he admits that regimen, change of air and scene, and the cessation of laborious or exciting pursuits, are also powerful means of Cure.)

The new editions are not of much amount. The American Notes is a volume of the cheap edition of Dickens's works, now in course of publica- tion. The extracts from the speeches of Sir Robert Peel, published under the title of his "Opinions," have value in themselves, as presenting a handy resume of the statesman's views upon public questions ; and the event of his death gives them additional present interest The "Windings of the River of the Water of Life" is a series of lectures or sermons, by an elegant American divine.
