At the first fielding, the rain fell in torrents, which, a course, we place to the disadvantage of the Brunswickers, the being the fielders. In course of time, their uniform "so white and clean," was terribly soaked and covered with the "yird" o' Glas gow, and, verily, we saw them black Brunswickers before the "bloodless contest" was done. An impression has gone abroad that the Brunswickers beat the Western by two notches onlyand from the ambiguous way in which the newspapers have noticed the match, we do not wonder at the publie misconceiving it. It stands as follows: The Western had the first Innings, and gained Leaving in favour of the Brunswickers Notcher 47 Leaving, be it observed, eight of their number to take their Is. nings or in sporting language, eight crickets to go down. Saving a little bad behaviour on the part of the rabble, the day went well off.

AN EYEWITNESS Theatrical Gossip.-Drury Lane has closed for the season with a loss of between 4 and L.5000. The nightly expenses have amounted to L.240 odds. In former seasons, and with a ma better company, this would have been esteemed an excellent average nightly receipt. The principal novelties have been Knowles Alfred, Macready's adaptation of Byron's Werner, and Kenney's of Victor Hugo's Hernani. The most attractive performances have been-the School for Scandal, Stanfield's Diorama, and the Brigand AFRICAN GEOGRAPHY.-Captain Woodfall, sent out by the Afri. can Society, to penetrate into the interior of Africa, by the way of Abyssinia, had only reached Kourdefan when he fell sick and died.-M. Elie de Beaumont has addressed a letter to the Academy, in which he asserts that he never supposed that the mountains of the north of Africa formed, like the Pyrenees, a single chain of contemporaneous elevation. There is no doubt but there, as in Europe, the different mountain ranges have arisen at different epochs, and in different directions.-At the last meeting of the Royal Geographical Society, Mr Barrow stated, that the Landers, having landed at Badagry, and proceeded nearly in Clapperton's tract to Boussa on the Niger, advanced to Youri, which they found to lie considerably farther north than it is laid down in the map. They thence proceeded to the Cubbie, a river which passes Socatoo, and falls into the Quorra or Niger, a little above Youri, and here they embarked on their downward voyage. Shortly-Young has arranged with the Covent-Garden management to after reaching Funda, the last point laid down on Clapperton's map, the river makes a bold sweep to the east, being here from five to six miles wide. It next turns south-east, and circling round to the south, receiving the Shary, a river three or four miles wide, coming from the east. The Niger, after this accession, runs to the south and west, until it expands into a lake, from which the river Nun, which the Landers descended, and probably several others falling into the great Bay of Benin, issue. The river has now been traced from the point where Park first embarked in 1805, upwards of 2000 miles through the very heart of Africa, and in Lander's opinion, the greater portion of the distance is navigable for small steam-boats, CHIT-CHAT FROM GLASGOW.-You Edinburgh folks have carried all before you in cemetery designs and cricket matches! But our young. sters are quite resolved to beat you on your own ground, on Saturday se'ennight. We have had whole flocks of tourists passing through Glasgow during the fine weather-and no wonder-for where is there such an outlet as the Clyde, and such means of conveyance! The steam-boats have been crowded this season, and find their best profits result from cheap fares.-I have calculated that in one of them, by the purchase of a ticket for a month, a person can sail four thousand miles in that time, at the cost of ten shillings.

In a remarkably neat and attractive volume, we are presented with a number of short lyrical pieces, embracing subjects of great variety; but, for the most part, appealing to our patriotism, or some other ennobling or benevolent feeling of our nature. We But though, the generality of these pieces are of a national character, there are many that may be classed with productions of a more playful or sentimental description, and which touch upon the pathetic chords of local attachment, and of early recollections. refer our readers to the volume itself, which will, we doubt not, find its way to the boudoir, as soon as it is known that so acceptable an addition has been made to the lyrical productions of the present day. January 1, 1831. THE COURT JOURNAL ENLARGED WITHOUT INCREASE OF PRICE. In a handsome post 8vo volume, Price 9s. cloth, TALES of OTHER DAYS. By J. Y. A. With Engravings, after Designs by George Cruickshank. "We are delighted tenfold when we find such embellishments as these in Tales of other Days.' They are in Cruickshank's happiest style; the tact and taste with which he has selected the points of humour of these pages are only exceeded by the vigour and facility with which he has embodied his ideas. WOOD-CUTS CAN GO NO FARTHER. They are executed with extraordinary ability by Thompson and Williams. There are twelve Tales in the volume; they touch upon every subject; there is a story for every taste. The marvellous, however, preponderates: and this admits of proper play and spirit for the genius of Cruickshank. 'Friar Rush' is an excellent incident, most exquisitely illustrated; and the Fifth of November' gives a fine picturesque portrait of that extraordinary annual of our own times, Guy Fawkes. 'Roger Clevelly' is also a rare scrap of romanee; the embellishments here exhibiting the Evil One disarming his antagonist by twisting his sword round his own, is a happy idea very effectively embodied, and would alone, we are disposed to think, secure the popularity of a volume of infinitely more doubtful pretensions than this. The book is well written, well printed, and well illustrated."—British Magazine, Oct. 1830. FRENCH LANGUAGE.

Accordingly, new arrangements have been made, by which, in the first place, the reader will gain two entire pages of additional original matter in each number; and in the second place, new and exclusive sources of information have been opened and secured in connexion with Court and Fashionable Life, and new and sure means have been adopted for obtaining early political information of a kind and character inaccessible to any other weekly Journal.-The Proprietor solicits public attention to the early numbers of the new year, in which the results of these new accessions will be amply and unequivocally apparent. N. B.-The first number for 1831, will contain, among other articles of peculiar interest, a Second Part of the GARLAND OF BEAUTV-a paper, which in the publication of the first part, excited so much attention as to call for the reprinting, three several times, of the number in which it appeared.

The Tables of Declensions and Conjunctions are also admirably clear. It is almost impossible to represent sound to the eye; yet the rules of Pronunciation laid down in this book are so systematic and precise as to render them a great help to those who have had some oral instruction. The Appendix, or a Dictionary of Difficulties, which also sells sepaś rately, will be found an excellent book of reference to the more advanced student, more useful than French works of this kind, as it is evidently the work of a man who, by long practice, has made himself fully acquainted with all those points in his language which offer difficulties to the English learner."-Monthly Review, June, 1829. The separate Parts may be had at the following Prices: Part II.-THE ACCIDENCE. Price 3s. 6d. bound. Part IV. THE APPENDIX, or Dictionary of Difficulties and Idioms. In pointing out the recommendations of this Edition, the Proprietors may state, that all the available matter in the Supplement to former Editions will be transferred to its pages. The articles thus transferred will previously undergo a careful revision; many of them will receive important alterations from their respective contributors, as well for the purpose of substituting new matter in the place of what is antiquated or imperfect, as for that of accommodating them to the objects of the present undertaking. The Dissertations on the Progress of Philosophy, by Professors STEWART and PLAYFAIR, which reflected so high a lustre on the late Supplement, are now completed by Sir JAMES MACKINTOSH and Professor LESLIE, forming a handsome introductory volume to the work. The Illustrations are entirely new, and engraved in the best manner on steel. An important improvement on the Maps has been introduced since the work commenced publication. Instead of being confined to a single 4to page, each Map will in future extend over Two pages, forming an entire folio leaf, folded in the middle, and placed upon a guard. The Drawings are made from the most approved and recent authorities; and the Engravings are executed by SIDNEY HALL, whose eminence in this department of art is universally known. Duplicates of the folio Maps, to supply the place of those that have appeared on the 4to scale, will be given in an early Part. A copious Index will be appended to the last volume of the work, which, by affording a key to the Miscellaneous information contained in its General Treatises, will greatly extend its utility as a book of $reference.

VERLEY NOVELS.

Those views will be selected which, possessing in themselves great picturesque beauty, have been dwelt upon with admiration by the writer himself. Fidelity of representation will be strictly adhered to, and no historical allusion permitted to interfere with the reality of the scene. This Work will be published in Parts, each containing four Plates, of a size to bind up with the new edition of the Waverley Novels now in progress, but the impressions will be taken on paper sufficiently large for any of the collected editions.
