There are verges of Scott ' s which carry us pleasantly back to the days before Waver ley , and which , could we forget the hovels , would set ue longing for more M arm ions and Minstrels . Then you have O'Hara Banim , in the " Rival DrcamerSj" a tale to which

Tv ^ and some beautiful Hues ob Benevolence , by John Bowring . The Amulet is the religious Annual : it characterizes itself as the " Christian

    Remembrancer / ' nor will we dispute the propriety of the appellation . It were better , perhaps , that serious peopte should content themselves with works designed for the public indiscriminately , instead of setting up one which Is to be peculiarly and exclusively their own . Were the Amulet in trusted to an

    injudicious editor , it would soon become a Mere collection of psalms and sermon * . Then , however gratifying its perusal , and Useful its tendency > it is too probable they would both be enjoyed and felt by those only who had no occasion for them , at least iu such a foini * Mr . Hall has acquitted himself excellently well in his delicate situation . The Amulet is

    religious , Without being sectarian , and Without ceasing to be literary . The Literary Souvenir , Friendship ' s Offering , and the Forget Me Not , have little by which to distinguish them from each other .- in the general merit of the contributions admitted into that first

    mentioned there is , we fear , a falling off from last year : in the Forget Me Not there is considerable improvement . The last two are largely indebted to Mr . Bowring , Mrs .
