Arundel; a Tale of the French Revolution. By Sir Faustus VINCENT, Bart. In three vols.

The New Annual Army List; with an Index. Corrected to 7th Fe- bruary 1840. By H. G. HART, Limit. 49th Regt. [This volume is indispensable to all who take any interest in the va- rious services to which it relates, or have any occasion to refer to the per- sonal statistics of the Army, Ordnance, or Commissariat. Besides the usual roll of officers, contained in the periodical Army List, the work embraces a variety of information both statistical and personal, which cannot elsewhere be obtained. For example, the tabular lists of all the superior officers from Majors upwards, is a perfect regimental biography of the Army, showing at one view the time when the hero first entered the service, and the date of every commission he has since received. A similar view is given of all the officers in the Artillery, Engineers, Commissariat, and Medical Department% as well as of every officer on half-pay. Other lists are also given of different phases of the service—as the Foreign Half-pay, and officers who have received medals. But there is a good deal snore than merely dates, names, and tabular information. Short notes are appended to the lists, specifying, where par- ticular or curious, the exploits in which the individual has been engaged, the services he has rendered, or the wounds he has received. And these, though curt and distinguished by a military brevity, are full of a matter-of-fact interest. In the ease of many of the "01(1 soldiers," the effect is of an historical kind— the reader is culled back to other generations : for instance- " (General) Sir Martin Hunter served in the first American war, including the battles of Bunker's Hill, Brooklyn. and Brandywine; storming the heights of Fort Washington; and the might attack on General Wm; ties brigade, where he was wounded. Served afterwards in the East Indies, and commanded the 32nd regiment at the sieges or coommore (commanded a ct,rps of light infantry that stormed the breach), Pollighautcherry, and Bangalore; battle near S'oringapaotn, and storming of the fort ot' Savandruog ; the night attack on Tippoo's intretiched carnp under the walls of Seriagaratant, and was wounded in the body and arm.

What national changes have these inen not seen ! what a difference between manners and opinions now, and when they first entered life! Full of curious observations and reminiscences must the n Is of these veterans be, if they ever had the power of observing and reflecting, and have not outlived their faculties.]

The Voice of Conscience; s. Narrative founded on fact. By Mrs. QuiNTIN

KENNEDY. •

[The story of a Cornish miner, who is converted by the preaching of Wesley, becomes a Methodist preacher, and marries a rich widow : after her death he enters the gay world, and being unhappy in a second marriage, grows dissi-

pated, and is ruined by gambling; but is reclaimed by Wesley, and returns poor and penitent tools native village. The earlier portion of the tale, de- scribing the sufferings of a morbidly sensitive nature, and the change pro- duced by conversion, is the most real, the autobiographical form being well sustained up to that point: the interest afterwards declines, and the subse- queut incidents are related more in the style of an ordinary novel than of CCM-, fessione.] Indian Lift; a Tale of the Carnatic. By Mrs. Colonel HARTLEY. [An ill-judged publication : in fact a rhapsody, without distinctness of pur- pose in the plot, knowledge of life or manners in the writer, or that mere artistical power of execution which may partially excuse the want of plan and of matter.] Alice, or the Mysteries ; a Sequel to " Ernest Maltravers." By Sir E. L. &HAVER, Bart., M.P., M.A.

[The third volume of the author's revised edition of his collected works. It is embellished with a design by VON HOLST, that has the merit of harmonizing with the tone of sentiment in the intense passages, though its style is too strongly German.] Persecution of the Lutheran Church in Prussia, from the year 1831 to the present time; compiled from German publications. Chiefly translated by J. D. LoWENBERG. (With additional information from various sources.) [A fragmentary account of the persecutions suffered by those subjects of the King of Prussia who refused to attend church when, in 1830, he introduced a new liturgy inconsistent with the Augsburg Confession, the standard of the true LittliCran faith ; the object of the new liturgy being to establish a state church, under the pretence of forming a religious union of all sects of Luther- aims. Five hundred of the recusants have emigrated to Australia, there to form a German colony.] On the Improvement and Preservation of the Female Figure; with a new

anomie of treatment of Lateral Curvature of the Spine. By G. B.

Cutups, Esq., Member of the Royal College of Surgeons, &c. [A practitioner's book, compiled from previous writers on the subject of spinal distortion ; the chief novelty—if that maybe called novel whose principle is no longer new—eonsisting in the plan of a " prone couch," with apparatus for producing gradual extension of the spine.] The Book of Archery. By GEORGE AGAR HANSARD, Gwent Rolmauthor of " Trout and Salmon Fishing in Wales." [An elegant, entertaining, and instructive volume, treating the subject his- torically, poetically, and technically, with the enthusiasm of one of the craft and the patient research of a compiler. The author has minutely described the various kinds of bows and arrows used in every country, from the bow of Ulysses to that of the modern Toxopholite, including the Oriental, Tartar, and American weapons of archery ; and he has ransacked the poets and chroniclers for allusions, descriptions, and anecdotes. One omission, however, is too re- markable to be passed by, and that is the famed exploit of William Tell,—a strange slip, seeing that the figure of Tell is introduced into the illustrations. The plates are numerous and beautiful; consistin,g of twelve pictorial designs by STernANorr, finely engraved ; and twenty-ffiur outline illustrations of bows and bowmen of all ages and countries, designed by Mr. BROOKE: the typography is fine, and the whole appearance of the volume handsome.] Some Account if South Australia ; or a Guide-book for Labourers and Mechanics intending to emigrate to the above Colony.
