Gilbert's New Map of England and Wales, with the Railways, Canals, &c. Companion to Gilbert's Mw Mitp of England and Wales, Geographical, Statistical, and Descriptive. By ROBERT Moore. LA large map, mounted on canvas, folding up into a small quarto case, contain- ing the railways, canals, tracks of steam-vessels, and the distance of the voy- age; besides a more distinct mode of marking boroughs, towns, villages, roads, and so forth. Spreading out the map before us, it is impossible not to lie struck with the proofs of wealth and civilization, shown in the immense num- ber of towns which dot the country, and roads and other means of transport which intersect it in all ways, puzzling the eye by their very number : and yet, with agricultural land diminishing as it were on the one hand, and population increasing on the other, the Squirearchy pertinaciously shut out foreign corn The Companion is given gratis with the map. It consists of an account of nearly every thing on the earth, in the earth, or relating to the waters surrounding the earth. together with um:variety of statistics, and a description

.„, of the English Constitution and Government, written with Mr. Mentes wonted vigour and peculiarity. The chapters on the Tides of the English Coast are well worth perusal, not only for the direct intbrinhtion they impart, but for the light they throw upon one of the chief causes of our commercial prosperity.]

[A very clear and business-like arrangement of the opinions of writers on military law, and of the precedents of practice on various courts-martial, with full references to the authorities, intermingled with the commentaries of the author upon doubtful points, and suggestions on questions which he thinks should be settled, or matters which might be improved. So far as we are competent to judge, we should recommend it as au excellent text-book for military men upon the subject on which it treats. ] The Hand-Book ; being a Guide to the Chancery Judges' Opinions of the Peculiarities ana Faults of the various Djcisions and Reports in Chancery, Bankruptcy, and Parliament, both English and Irish. With Subjects and Index. By GEORGE FARREN junior, Esq., Chancery Barrister of Lincoln's Inn, Author of "A Key to the Statutes," &c. [A reference to those adjudicated Equity cases which have been subsequently overruled or shaken, or whose soundness has been demurred to by their re- porters. It is intended to furnish the professional man, or may be " the Judge," with an easy access to all such cases, so as to prevent surprise, or perhaps an unsound decision, on an insufficient precedent wrongly or fallaciously cited. The utility of such a work is unquestionable : the only point is, time facility of its reference, which appears as easy as a dictionary. Nor let the smallness of its compass be unnoted: sixty-two pages contain both time cases and the index.] The Book of the People. By F. DE LAMENNAIS. Translated from the French.

T,ord Brougham's AllS1Ver to Lord Londonderry's Letter.

[Lord LONDONDERRY, following Sir HERBERT TAYLOR'S example in the case of time two last King GEou0 Es,- has come to the rescue of his late brother's

character as an orator and a statesman, from the strong gripe and merciless

dissection of the noble critic of the Edinburgh Review. Lord LoNooNntlata not only impugns the reviewer's judgment, but assails him in turn, with spirit, cleverness, and temper ; and brings thrward testimonies to character on behalf of his brother from several contemporaries of the CASTLE II RAGS! Administra- tion : the sting of Lis attack, however, is an application from Mesa?BROUGHAM to sting CASTLEREAGH, dated August 1, 1812, to be employed in

negotiating with America.

Lord BROUGHAM, who dates his answer the 23d instant, being the very day are received Lord LormoNofianv's letter, courteously replies, that the testy monials do not touch the question at issue,—which is true enough ; and ex- plains, that his description of Lord CASTLEREAGH'S demeanour at the Con• gress, to which Lord LONDONDERRY strongly objects, is to be taken in figurative sense. On the charge of inconsistency, implied in the application to net under Lord CAsTrxoiAGII, Lord BROUGHAM observes, that at the date of his letter the Minister had not been two months in office ; eanclidly adding, however, that had he then held the opinion of Lord CAsTm:a cm: n's foreign policy that lie does now, it would not have prevented him irom iaaking the application,—which he then goes on to justify ; giving a supplementary letter of his to the Minister, its which he stated that "the cost to the country will only be my conveyance thither and back, with a single servant." Lord Losmoxneaur, ot' coarse, is no match for Lord BE 0 I: G HAM; who not only demolishes his antagonist in a calm and even compliment:a: manner, but adroitly contrives to convert his defence of himself into a still more severe onslaught on the object of the controversy. Lord LosmoNnenitv had better have let time matter alone, till lie brought out the Life of his brother, which he has in hand.] Dissuasive Warnings to the People on Street Warfare.
