Messrs. De la Rae have sent us copies of their

admirable Pocket- books in various bindings, containing some of the most useful diaries that are published, and of their diaries for the desk and for the waistcoat-pocket, all excellent of their kind, the latter both in a leather and in a metal sheath. Their calendars of all sizes are also very elegant.—Messrs. De la Rue also send us a large assort- ment of Christmas Cards, flowers, figures, landscapes, dc., printed in colours delicately laid on. These are amongst the best of the English assortments of Christmas cards for variety and execution.
