[A standard work, of more weight, that CONOLLY'S Overland Journey to India ; valuable at all times as a history and picture of a peculiar nation ; but of particular interest and utility at present, on account of our Indian relations. Whether we shall be able to return to this work as we returned to CoNoLLY'S, is exceedingly doubtful, with the present list of "Publications Received."] Six Mouths in South Australia ; with some Account of Fort Philip and Portland Bay : with Advice to Emigrants ; a Monthly Calendar of Gar- dening and Agriculture, &c.

By THOMAS TAYLOR. [Not a biography of CLARKSON, but a slight and rapid sketch of the history of the abolition of the British Slave Trade and Slavery ; the exertions of CLARK- SON being made the conspicuous feature. It has a speaking portrait.] Rollo at Play; br Safe Amusements. By the Rev. JACOB ABBOTT, of

Boston, Massachusetts.

[A pleasant story-book for children, with apt and natural moral lessons. It has nothing particular in its plan : its novelty consists in the American charac- ter of its children's sports, which give us as clear an idea of a young country, as many works of higher pretension.] The Reign of Lockrin ; a Poem.

Selma : a Tale of the Sixth Crusade.

The Philosophy of Death and the Future Life. [A reprint of four sermons from CIIANNING and ORVILLE DEWEY; very neatly got up. ] Thus far every thing is a volume, in the modern idea of it—that

is, bound with thick covers; though the four last books are small in size. The following are all in the form of pamphlets—namely, stitched.

Indian Commerce and Russian Intrigue. The present and future Pros- pects of our Indian Empire. liv Capt. G. E. WESTMACOTT. [Part of this has been published in the shape of Letters in the Times. The author is a Russia-drearier, and writes in the rhetorical vein. There are Indian facts and Indian knowledge in the pamphlet ; but its views are based upon a prophecy which is not fulfilled—the fall of Herat.] Letters to and from the Government of 'Lams, relative to the Disturb- ances in Conant in April 1837. By J. C. BROWN, Esq., of

Telli- cherry.

[These letters chiefly relate to a disturbance at Canara, in which the local authorities fled before "an agrarian mob," whom their fears magnified into an army of rebels, leaving the Sepoys to defend the place, who scattered the mob at the first discharge. This riot was magnified into rebellion, martial law proclaimed, many executed, and numbers confined in prison; all which doings were countenanced and supported by the Government of Madras after the real state of the case was laid before them.] Observations on the Foundation of Morals. By EUGENICS.

A Lecture on the Writings, Prose and Poetic, and the Character, Public and Personal, of John Milton. By ALFRED A. FRY, Esq., of Lin- coln's Inn.

A General Index to the Essays and Correspondence of the late John Walker, some time a Fellow of Trinity College, Dublin, and a Clergy- man of the Establishment. By Wri. u. i.tw BARTON. [ Surely a labour of lose rather than a work of necessity. JOHN WALKER must have had stanch disciples, albeit few.] The Historical, Moral, and Weather Alntanach, for 1839.

The history consists of the anniversary of events ; the morality, of prover- bial or pithy sayings ; the weather part, of a day by day account of its "pro- bable" state for the ensuing year.] Spectacle Secrets. By GEORGE Cox. [The author of this desultory, but rather amusing tract, is a spectacle- maker ; and lie publishes the principles, practice, and tricks of the art, with the view of cautioning persons ag,atust bad goods, and perhaps of intimating where a " good article" may be had.] Effects of the Introduction of Ardent Spirits and Imidements of War amongst the Natives of some of the South Sea Islands anal New South Wales. Extracted from the Letters and Journal of DANIEL WHEELER, a Minister of the Society of Friends, who has recently returned from a religious visit to the inhabitants of those places.
