IN 'Le Chemin de Damas,' of M. Barrière, the Vaudeville, so unlucky of late, has at length scored a success. The favourable reception awarded the FORSTER'S LIFE of CHARLES piece is due rather to the dialogue, which displays its author's well-known point and epigram, than to the story, which is neither very novel nor very dramatic. M. de Parisiane, a middleaged libertine, can count in his life but one tender episode. He has had one successful intrigue, the particulars of which have stamped themselves upon his memory, since the surrender of the woman has been followed by his receipt of a letter to the effect that she finds herself about to be a mother, that her husband is on the point of returning, and that she shall commit suicide. A score years later De Parisiane is thrown by circumstances into the presence of this woman, whose life has been saved by her husband, and of her child, who is, of course, his child also. He finds himself unable, by prayers or avowal, to extort from his daughter the love for which he longs and which she has no idea of bestowing; he sees the honour and life of the one woman he has loved compromised by his return, and he recognizes that the happiness even of his child is likely to be clouded by his attentions. These causes bring about a sufficiently edifying penitence and reformation, which supply the moral of the story. His upward progress is aided by a conspiracy on the part of the ladies in the house in which he stays, who, disgusted at his proceedings, set before him, in a species of charade, the atrocity of his own conduct. The strongest situation is obtained by the wellworn device of placing in the hands of a husband a letter compromising his wife's honour, and obtain- MILITARY and RELIGIOUS LIFE PHOSPHORESCENCE; or, the Emision ing it from him still unread. Madame Jane Essler, familiar with more melo-dramatic rôles, was scarcely at home as the guilty wife, originally intended for Madame Fargueil. M. Julien Deschamps (De Parisiane), M. Parade, M. Train, and M. SaintGerman, Mdlle. Massin, and Mdlle. Damain, sustained satisfactorily the remaining parts. Without an excellent interpretation, indeed, the piece would scarcely have obtained a success. FROM America we hear that Miss Kate Field, a well-known writer, will make her first appearance the stage at Booth's Theatre, as Peg Woffingupon ton, in 'Masks and Faces'; and that Mr. Boucicault has a new drama ready for production at Wallack's Theatre, in which he will play an Irish servant.

In 1 vol. royal 8vo. cloth extra, numerous Woodcuts, Maps, and Chromo-lithographs, cloth extra, 358. ..It is a strange and exciting story, that of the ice-bound ship (the 'Hansa') and crew.......... nor can any one, after enjoying the narrative of their adventures, deny them a worthy place among the most daring of Arctic navigators.”—Times. "We have now before us the narrative of that Expedition, the record of its failures and successes.........and surely no Robinson Crusoe adventures were ever half so full of exciting interest...... Those who would follow the fortunes of the 'Hansa' fully must read the report of Captain Hegemann and his companions for themselves. It is a narrative of keen interest, to which we can do but scant justice in a brief summary; but we must, if possible, tell something of the adventures of the little band of heroic men who, during the next twelve months, encountered dangers and hardships before which the sternest natures might have quailed...... The work before us owes much of its charm to the excellence of the engravings, which help the reader to form the clearest idea of the whole position, and to realize it in a way for which the most graphic details would ill compensate."-Spectator. "Here finished a voyage with which there is none in the annals of Arctic enterprise to compare. Ross's escape from Barrow's Strait, Kane's from Smith Sound, or even the heroic tale of Barentz as told by Gerrit van Veer, pale before it. It will live in the annals of heroism as an everlasting honour to the German name...... A work which is destined to be extensively read, and to stimulate greatly the interest in Arctic exploration, now again to be resumed in England after the long night of slumber, during which other nations have been reaping, under many advantages, the glory which ought to have been ours by birthright."-Academy. "This volume has been, for some time, expected, but, although late in appearing, it is welcome to English readers.......................It contains a sufficient amount of 'hairbreadth 'scapes' to keep our interest fully alive whilst perusing it."—Athenæum. "The story of the Germania,' if less romantic, is full of interest, and not without its episodes of peril; but it will not do to linger over it here, enticing though every chapter be. In fact, the book, edited rather than written by Captain Koldewey, and admirably translated by Mr. Mercier, and vivid with illustrations, possesses the charm of genuine adventure."-Standard. "This handsome volume contains the record of the German Expedition to the east coast of Greenland in 1869-70...... The story is told pleasantly and modestly, as befits men who are recounting their own exploits...... It is impossible not to feel a certain shade of jealousy in reading these accounts of daring adventure, skilfully carried out. The Expedition which has just returned shows that German enterprise is capable of extending our knowledge still further. Surely Englishmen should not allow themselves to be beaten in the race, or, more disgracefully, to retire from the competition without making an effort...... We would fain hope that these records of German travel, which have sent a thrill of excitement through the whole of the Fatherland, may prompt us to show by unmistakable proofs that the spirit of the Franklins and Parrys is not altogether extinct in England."-Saturday Review.

From the City Press. "We hail with much pleasure this recent addition to ciric p graphy. The map which is now issued in fac simile, and what's attributed to Ralph Agas, may fairly be called the only gene of London and Westminster of the Elizabethan era that has ready pretensions to accuracy of detail. Mr. Francis is deserving of praise for so faithful & fac-simile of this old map of London not speak too highly of the care and thought bestowed upon the work Mr. Overall, and, while it proves his great knowledge of Lond topography, it shows that he has made it a labour of love.

The Association was established in October, 1873, for the purpose of providing a Co-operative Store, devoted exclusively to the supply of Wines, Spirits, and Liqueurs, where there should be given that personal attention to the tastes and wants of customers which had hitherto been found only in the best conducted private establishments. The Management is in the hands of a Gentleman who retired from partnership in an old-established firm of wine merchants in order to undertake his present post, and who bestows the same attention upon the tastes of Purchasers as can be done in a private business. The advantages of Co-operation are not unknown; but the reasons why a Co-operative Wine Store can compete favourably with old-established firms of Wine Merchants are less understood. They are 1. The practice prevails of sending out Travellers, who receive Salary, Commission, and Travelling Expenses, and also of giving a Commission of from 5 to 10 per cent. to Salesmen (often Gentlemen of good social position), all of which must fall on the Purchaser. 2. In a private business the loss from bad debts is heavy, whereas in a Co-operative Store payment is made before the Purchaser takes possession, and there is absolutely no risk of loss on this score. 3. This prior payment provides to the Store an increasing Working Capital as the turnover increases, whereas every trader knows that as his business grows more and more money is absorbed by his book debts, and a larger Capital is needed. The goods are sold at a Store, and money paid for them before, in the ordinary course of trade, the wholesale dealer receives payment, and therefore the accession of Business provides its own needed Capital. 4. The Annual Payment of 58. for a Ticket, although not felt in the unit, amounts in the aggregate to so large a sum as to contribute substantially towards payment of Rent, Salaries, &c. The Governing Council are issuing Tickets to the Public, entitling them to purchase from the Association on the same terms as to Prices and Discounts as Shareholders. All Max Greger's Hungarian Wines may be obtained by TicketHolders at the Stores at 15 per cent. Discount off his Prices to the Public. ANNUAL TICKETS, FIVE SHILLINGS.

"THE BEST OF PRESENTS-THE BIBLE -We cordially recommend our country subscribers to lay in a stock of the very elegant edition of the Holy Bible prepared by Messrs. Bradbury, Agnew & Co., under the title of 'The Handy-Volume Edition." It is issued in eleven volumes (in à case), in cloth, for one guinea, and also in every variety of binding." Publishers Circular, Nov. 16, 1874. WITH MARGINAL READINGS, REFERENCES, AND INTRODUCTIONS. Eleven Small Elegant Volumes, in an artistically finished Case. Ir is believed that the opportunity now for the first time given to possess the Holy Scriptures in a light and handy form, printed in a type, large, clear, and easy to be read-capable of being used by the weakest without fatigue, by the aged with comfort, and by all readers with pleasure-will be welcomed. The references in this edition, which exceed 50,000 in number, have been for the greater part carefully selected from those at present existing, the remaining portion being original; and ther use will, it is hoped, be greatly facilitated through their being placed in every ir stance exactly opposite the passage to which they refer. The Introductions which accompany each volume aim at giving a short account, descriptive of the history of the diferent Books, and showing the relation in which they stand to each other. They are also intended to form a concise analysis of the Biblical narrative which may be useful and suggestive to ordinary readers. A choice Prospectus, illustrative of this elegant edition of the Holy Scriptures, has been prepared, and will be forwarded fre by post to all inquirers.
