    among' the Irish , poor , for whom it appears to be chiefly intended , can scarcely fail to be useful .

    " British Columbia and Vancouver ' s Island / ' by D . G . Forbes Maedonald , ( Longman , ) will have an especial interest for those

    who are concerned in promoting female emigration . " Reminiscences of the Life and Character of Count Cavour /*

    by "W . De La Rive , translated by Edward RomiHy , ( Longman , ) is the work of a relative and intimate friend of the subject of the

    memoir . " The True Institution of Sisterhoodor a Message and its

    Messengers , " ( Nisbet , ) has for its object to , give information on the London Bible and Domestic Female Missions .

    A new novel by Mrs . Gaskell is promised , under the title of _"Sylvia ' s Lovers . "

    " A Few Passing Ideas for the Benefit of India and Indians / ' by Manockjee Cursetjee , ( Emily Faithfull , ) is a short account of the

    efforts made by the author , an eminent Parsee gentleman , resident at Bombay , to improve the education of women in India . Mr .

    Manockjee very wisely commenced the work in his own family , hy engaging an English governess for his daughters ; he is thoroughly

    satisfied with the success of the experiment , and we may hope thai ; his example will be extensively followed by Hindoos as well as

    Parsees . Among publications receivedwe are desirous of calling especial

    attention to the " Fifth Annual , Report of the Ladies' Sanitary Association . _" This valuable Society is steadily pursuing its useful

    career , and the success which has attended its labors hitherto , may be regarded as at the same time a reward for past exertion and a

    stimulus to future effort . It is gratifying to observe that the public mind is graduallbecoming more and more alive to the

    importance of sanitary reform y . We are not yet , however , by any means so far advanced that we can afford to sit still . There is

    touch yet to be done in diffusing a knowledge of the laws of lif & among all classes of the community , and no machinery has been

    devised more effectual for this purpose than that of the Ladies ' Sanitary Association .

    We are glad to observe that a second edition is announced of the

    beautiful " Last Poems " of Mrs . Elizabeth Barrett Browning .
