Besides the more elaborately illustrated season books already noticed, a few publications of a later arrival are of an analogous class. The Sing of the Golden River, or the Black Brothers ; a Legend of Stiria. Illustrated by Richard Doyle. [This tale is attributed to Mr. Ruskin, the author of Modern Painters, and was written some years since, at the request of "a very young lady." It has humour, fancy, grace, tenderness, and the moral purpose of showing the superiority of kindness to riches, as well as some subordinate lessons on the evils of stinginess and the benefits of industry. The two churlish brothers are punished as misers rarely are punished in this life, first by the South- west Wind rendering their fertile valley barren, and finally by the King of the Golden River turning them into two black stones • while kind-hearted good-natured Gluck is supernaturally rewarded. Here again Richard Doyle shines out in the illustrations.] The .Dream Chintz. By the Author of "A Trap to Catch a Sun-heam," &c. With Illustrations by James Godwin. [Very many years ago, the pattern of a chintz that had been suggested in a dream was highly popular. This subject is made the basis of a tale by the author of "A Trap to Catch a Sun-beam," in which the chintz pattern, suggested by a fairy-dream, is the means of changing a struggling artist from a dissatisfied- doubter of the utility of life to an active-minded man, besides enabling him to cure his mother of avarice, the father of his future wife of discontent, and at last to marry the maiden of his choice. There is much of tenderness and feeling in the tale, and useful morals are frequently inculcated ; but the conversion of Hugh Ridley's mother is not very skil- fully managed, either as regards the feelings of the reader or the character of the lover. Need we wonder that "no man is a hero to his valet-de-cbam- b " who necessarily secs the wont of him when the -fictionist, who can pick out the best, •and put it in the best lights, ra lfenerally fails in the ar- ticle ?] household Words.. -Ile fihristmas Number:, I Substance gf [Instead of the usuaTtirristmas-boiik; Mr:Dickens, has published a Christ- , called bV to mturrmitilierarlibelittdernadal; and wothink it a happrexeliange.

It-is-not, however, a novel of manners, but something between the juvenile tale and the elder fictions of Miss Edgeworth or Miss Austen. It is agreeably written, and with a lifelike air, though wanting fore,e and distinctiveness.] The Bishop's Wife; a Tale of the Papacy. Translated from the Ger- man of Leopold Sellefer ; with an Historical Notice of the Life and Tunes of Hildebrand, (Pope Gregory VU.,) to which it relates. By Mrs. J. 11. Stodart.

rte historical part of this tale is founded on an incident that took place in the year 1076, when Pope Gregory was made prisoner by one of the Cenci. The more romantic portion arises from the decree of Gregory againgthe -marriage of priests, branding their wives as concubines and their children as -illegitimate. The tale is a pooraffitir, hardly worth translation.] .Free Translations from the German of Gellert, and other Poems. By John A. Make.

[The brevity and point of fables always give them a certain attraction; and many pieces in this brochure possess that interest. The translation, as verse, wants sprightliness and felicity.]

The Whakman's Adventures in the Southern Ocean; as gathered by the Reverend Henry T. Cheever, on the homeward cruise of the "Commodore Preble." Edited by the Reverend W. Scoresby, D.D., MaeMae original author of this book-is an American .divine, who took a South in a whaler for his health, and wrote an account of what he saw and -what he heard, besides digesting his reading upon 'the natural history of the whale, and the statistics, tic. of the South Sea Fishery. An early copy of this work was placed in the bands of the Reverend Dr. Scoresby; who (with the original authorts consent) has revised, condensed, and to-some extent rewritten it, except in those parts that relate to the_personal observa- tions of Mr. Cheerer, or what he received as such,-though the editor evi- dently thinks some of the facts marvellous. There is nothing very new in theInformation of The Whaleman's Adventures or very remarkable in its style ; but the book may prove amusing and instructive for -readers who meet the subject for the first tune.] The.Chronological Sew _Testament; inwhich the Text of the Authorized Version is newly divided into. Paragraphs and Sections, with the Dates and Places of Transactions marked, the Marginal Renderings of the Translators many parallel illustrative passages printed at length, brief Introductions to each Book, and a running Analysis of the Epistles. [A typographical arrangement under the guidance of religions objects lathe _feature of-this edition of the New Testament. The text is divided into para- graphs or sections according to the subject matter, and indications by means of letters direct the reader to the lesson inculcated. A chronology is given to each page ; the reader's attention is called to parallel passages; an intro- duction is prefixed to each book ; and various other facilities -for study, both editorial and typograpbiesl, have been added.] The Looker-On ; .a literary Miscellany.
