tot4 Ruins of Many Lands;- a- Deseriptive-P-onn—By-Nicholas Mitchell, Author of - hpiritkof. LispANst,7 &c. 5.;Fdp104 editteq, revised; with considerable Alterations to Use Text and Hitforielit'Notes. [This volume of poems on the most remarksibleitil6iiof the world, beginning with Babylon and coining flow& as far its fthte/flettart-rtinains in various countries, is now stereotyped for the fourth edition. +.1,Veshould hardly have thought that the book would have'been so premier 1 forelthough history, and a kind of narrative to carry. the reader to or.from the ruins, aroningled with description and reflection, the thOughts have little depth or novelty, the versification nothing peculiar., beyond some good lines here and there. Clever and sounding commonplace is the character of Ruins of Many Lands—and probably the secret of its success.] Rhymes for the Times ; or-Mercury's Poems. By J. Pitter. [The contemporary, and sometimes, be it said, the temporary or local nature of Mr. Pitter s subjects, gives them a greater freshness than belongs to the usually trite themes of "occasional poems." On the other hand, it has in- duced something of inconsistency and temporary narrowness. Sometimes the author seems of the "Peace party" in his verse; then he leans to war with Russia and Austria in behalf of Hungary,—which, by the by, though not a Peace doctrine, was maintained by Peace people : several of his subjects are local,—as stanzas on the Hastings Riles. The verse is fluent, but not re- markable.]

NEW PERIODICAL.

The Lover's Magazine; or the Advocate of the Law of Kindness. [The all-embracing Scriptural sense—" love thy neighbour as thyself "— " love one another "—is the meaning attached by the Advocate of the Law of Kindness to The Lover's Magazine. Beyond some introductory matter, the new periodical consists of tales, verses, andmiscellaneous anecdotes, with some "Thoughts on Burns." Thg geniality in the mind of Burns is made a prominent feature iu "the notice ; and, the three stories are love tales, though only one of the three really Illustrates the "law of kindness."]

The Poetry chiefly selected ; the Music composed by
