Manning the Navy; a Statement in which the Evils and Losses arising from the Present System are set forth, and a Remedy is proposed, whereby a Permanent Navy may be established, &c. By Arthur Parry Eardley- Wilmot, Commander Royal Navy, Author of "-The Midshipman's Friend."

[Except moral evils, the great evil in the Navy, according to Captain Eardley-

Wilmot, is the dispersion of a crew consequent upon paying-off a ship. To re- medy this and at the same time improve the moral character of the seamen, he proposes to establish barracks in all the dockyards, where the sailors might he lodged on landing, but still subject, as we understand, to the articles of war. In the same barracks boys and midshipmen should be received to go through pre- liminary instruction in rigging, &c.; after which they could be sent on board as required. If our estimate is correct, the plan would add eight or ten thousand men to the present cost of the Navy, minus what might be saved by em- ploying them in the Dockyards. Captain Eardley also recommends some in- crease of pay to the petty and warrant officers, with other smaller reforms; but the feature of his plan is the barracks.] The Songs of Israel; a Chronological Arrangement of the Psalms. By en of the Laity. [The Songs of Israel is an arrangement of the Psalms in the received chrono- logical order of their composition ; some not placed in the book of Psalms, being included in the collection, as the Song of Miriam and the Song of Deborah and Barak. The versions of the Bible and of the Prayer-book are presented in juxta- position; and the text of each psalm is accompanied by a prose account of the circumstances under which it was written, with explanations of any allusions it may contain to Jewish history or manners.]

Butler's Six Sermons on Moral Subjects. A Sequel to the Three Sermons on Human Nature. Edited by W. Whewell, D.D., &c. With a Preface and a Syllabus of the work.

[This volume is published to give the possessor of the former volume of sermons on Human Nature the ready means of forming a notion of Butler's moral philo- sophy. The critical preface of Dr. Whewell rather deals with particular parts of this system than with the view as a whole; though a general idea of the class or school of Butler may be gathered, if Butler had predecessors or followers.] Report on the Epidemic Cholera as it appeared in the Territories subject to the Presidency of Fort St. George.
