Mitchell's Newspaper Directory for 1880.—This useful Press annual, which has
now reached its thirty-fifth year, not only furnishes details concerning the daily and weekly newspapers, periodicals, and monthly and quarterly magazines, &c., published in the United Kingdom and the British Isles, but also gives a fairly reliable list of the news- papers, &c., published in the United States and Canada.

Of these, 156 are daily papers, 113 of which are published in England, 4 in Wales, 20 in Scotland, 17 in Ireland, and 2 in the British Isles.
The magazines now in course of publication, including the quarterly reviews, number 1,033, of which 289 are of a decidedly religious character.
