      Republicat1ons. Messrs. Bjla.Ck.Wood Hav...

      Lord Ra « Wan . It is sufficient to announce that the work has been repub-Tished in a popular form . . ,, A similar notice will suffice for a smaller but even more remarkable volume , also issued by Mr . Murray . This is The Rise of our Indian hmpire , hv Lord Mahon , now Earl Stanhope , being a history of British India ' from its origin till the peace of 1783 . ' The price of the volume is three shillings and sixpence ; ancl it is offered 'for railway reading . The narrative is taken from Lord Mahon ' s History of England , which most readers know to be a work of singular clearness and integrity . ,, -. «• **• A third and very important republication issued this week by Mr . Murray , is Mr Craik ' s Pursuit of Knowledge under Difficulties , which has been revised and enlarged . It appears in two illustrated volumes . Being a classic or ifcs kind , and a fountain of incentives to the young and high-minded , the book is beyond recommendation . . Mr . Bentley has published the third volume of an English version of Lamartine ' s Celebrated Characters , which was reviewed in these columns on its first appearance . The reader will probably call to mind the wonderfully fascinating and fanciful portraits of William Tell , Madame de SeVigne , Antar , and Bossuet—so rich in colour , so graceful , idealized , and characteristic of Lamartine himself . They will , of course , be popular in England . At present we merely announce the tenth volume of The Collected Works ofDugald Stewart , edited by Sir William Hamilton , and published at Edinburgh by Mr . Constable . The eleventh volume , containing translations of the passages from ancient and modern authors , quoted by Dugald Stewart in the course of his writings , with a general Index to the whole works , will afford us an opportunity to say more of this noble edition , which is creditable to every one concerned in its production—indeed , to Edinburgh itself .

      MANUALS . Mb . G . F . Gbaham has published an elaborate volume , entitled English Style ; or , a Course of Instructions for the Attainment of a Good Style of

      Writing , with an Historical Sketch of the English Language , Sfc . ( Longman and Co . ) We have examined it carefully , and can scarcely recommend it as a trustworthy guide for * the hi g her classes in colleges and schools . ' Mr . Graham is not a perspicuous writer , and his theory of style is commonp lace in the extreme . Some of his chapters might suggest useful studies ; but the student might take counsel with many and more trustworth y teachers . The Knights of the Cross . By Mrs . Agar . ( Newby . ) Mrs . Agar has written a book which young and old may read without fatigue . Its clear and graceful style , the freshness of its sentiment , and lihe religious earnestness of the narrator , are peculiarly attractive . The ^ volume is not a mere compilation from obvious authorities , but a work of care and research , which parents may well wish to see in the hands of their children . Mrs . Agar takes up the story at the time of Peter the Hermit , and passes lightly and swiftly through the dazzling succession of adventures , battles , and scenes of epic movement that surrounded the White and Red Cross Knights with so much romance and glory . As in the career of the Knights of the Cross not a day was uneventful , so in their story not a page is dull . The Stars and the Angels ; or , The Natural History of t / ie Universe and its Inhabitants . ( Hamilton , Adams , and Co . ) This is a volume of picturesque and ingenious disquisitions on the natural history of creation . The chapters on thelStars , the Moon , Celestial Chemistry , Meteors , the Sun , and Nebula ? , contain a systematic elucidation of the latest discoveries ; but the author ' s controversial object places his work beyond the reach of detailed cri-£ icisni The Housekeeper's Guide . By J . Walsh . ( Routledge and Co . ) This is a manual really adapted for household use . Its directions are ample , practical , well-assorted , lucidly set forth , and arranged in excellent order . All About It ; or , The History and Mystery of Common lutings . ( Hamilton , Adams , and Co . ) We have here an admirable little book , full of careful and interesting instruction , set forth in the best possible manner ; that is to say , simply , comprehensively , and with the aid of a complete index .

      The Unemployed Spitalfields Weavers.—A M...

      The Unemployed Spitalfields Weavers . —A meeting of the unemployed silk weavers of Spitalfields and Bethnal-green was held on Sunday evening at the Duke of York tavern , Bethnal-green-road , to consider their condition . Several persons spoke at great length , and the general opinion seemed to be that matters had been -worse instead of better since free trade , and that the Bank Act of 1844 had had a mischievous effect . One speaker said that he had prophesied , at the time it was passed , that that measure would cause children then unborn to curse the name of Sir Robert Peel ; and he still held to that view . He also remarked : —" A very grand event was shortly to take place at the Roj'al Palace , and he regretted to say that the Duchess of Kent was the only one who was to be dressed in silk of English manufacture . Neither the Queen nor the Princess Royal , nor any of the Court , were to have anything but foreign dresses on that occasion , and he hought it was not right to patronize foreign trade when the natives of this country were starving . The Court dresses had all been made in Germany and on the Continent . ( Cries of' Shame / ' ) The reduction in the price of labour had been very much in this country , and amounted to no less than sixty per cent . One-third of the working population was out of employ , another was on half work , and the other third was on half wages , and he calculated that at least 60 , 000 , 000 / . a year was taken out of the pockets of the working people of this country by the free-trade measure of Cobden and his colleagues , to be placed in the pockets of the foreign artisan , while the English workman was left with a diminished income to bear all the burdens of the taxation of his country . " The report having been agreed to , the meeting separated .
