cheat the soldier of a laugh on the India line of march.-Calcutta Review. - CHURCHES IN CALCUTTA.-In the year 1842, there were in Calcutta 28 places of public worship, exclusive of St. Paul's Cathedral, then building. Of this number, 11 were of the Church of England, 1 Danish, 1 Scotch, 1 Independent, 3 Baptist, 1 Armenian, 1 Greek, and 9 of the Romish church. MONUMENT TO SHAKSPEARE. The following address has been circulated by Mrs. Cowden Clarke, author of the "Concordance to Shakspeare."-To women, and Englishwomen in particular. Is it not a reproach to us, that, while testimonials in honour of carnage, worldly rank, earthly riches, and many other things with which we have, or ought to have, but little sympathy in their abstract, are perpetually being suggested and supported by our influence, direct or indirect, no effort has hitherto been made to pay enduring tribute and ostensible homage to the man, of all created beings, to whom we women owe the deepest gratitude? Has not Shakspeare been our own especial poet-the Laureate of our best qualities-the champion of our dearest rights-and the chief means of indicating and establishing our true social position? Has he not typified wifely purity in Desdemona; strong-hearted constancy in Helena and Julia; gentlest forgiveness and endurance in Imogen; maidenly delicacy in Miranda; sisterly tenderness in Celia; chastity and holiness in Isabella; courage and spotless virtue under roughest fortune in Marina; maternal affection in Constance: intellectual energy and modest worth in Portia; gay animation and sprightly wit (so valuable in adorning a man's home, and enabling him to pass lightly through the "briars " of this working-day world") in Rosalind and Beatrice; and has he not given subtlest acknowledgment of the " one touch of nature "-the womanly emotion lurking in even the most depraved female heart-when he makes the ambitious Lady Macbeth shrink from murdering the old king because, he resembled her own father as he slept? And shall it be said that a memorial exists in sternest bronze, cast from death-dealing cannon, and erected in honour of war and its attendant horrors by the women of England, and placed in their throngest thoroughfare, where the steps of their infants daily resort, and yet that no public symbol is in being to testify the gratitude and love of his countrywomen towards their best benefactor and friend · - our beloved Shakspeare? As it is believed that this gratitude and veneration for Shakspeare's memory undoubtedly lives in the heart of woman, and that the reason it has as yet assumed no demonstrative and public form is because, hitherto, no tangible mode has been suggested for displaying their feeling towards him, it has been proposed that a statue of Shakspeare shall be executed by an English sculptor, and erected in the most public spot that can be devised for the purpose. That cliff at Dover, which Shakspeare has himself distinguished by his immortal description, was pointed out as an appropriate pedestal; but as the parks are the daily resort of the Londoners, and frequently visited by strangers coming to the metropolis, it is thought the centre of Hyde Park would form the best possible site.

THE 16TH LANCERS arrived at Gravesend a few days since in the Marion, after an absence of twenty-four years. Of the twenty-nine officers who left England in 1822, but three have continued with it, Colonels Persse and Cureton, and Major M'Dowell. This regiment was engaged at the siege and capture of Bhurtpore, in the Affghan war, and in the battles of Aliwol and Sobraon; in the former of which 143 men of this regiment were killed or wounded, and many of its officers were conspicuously employed on staff duties; Colonel Cureton commanding the whole, and Major M'Dowell the first brigade of cavalry. Major Smyth commanded this regiment, Captain Waugh was deputy-assistant quartermaster for cavalry, Lieut. Pattinson was brigade-major of cavalry, and Lieut. Foster A.D. C. to Brigadier Cureton. Sir H. Smith mentions the 16th in the highest terms of praise. On the regiment leaving India more than half the men volunteered into the 3d Dragoons and 9th Lancers.

LITERARY NOTICES. The History of the Sikhs; containing the lives of the Gooroos, the history of the independent Sirdars or Missuls, and the life of the great founder of the Sikh monarchy, Maharajah Runjeet Singh. By W. L. M'GREGOR, M.D., Surgeon 1st E. B. Fusileers, late E. L. Infantry. 2 vols. 8vo. London, 1846. Madden. THE subject of these volumes has recently occupied so large a share of public attention, that it can scarcely fail to attract notice. The author claims access to some original sources of information in regard to the earlier part of the history, and the advantage of personal observation in respect of the later. He has composed an interesting and valuable book; and having said this we might part with him, but we wish to tell him of one thing which we like in his mode of printing, and one which we dislike in his diction. The book has the advantage, now very uncommon except in law-books, of side-heads, thus enabling the reader to see at a glimpse whether the page before him contains what he is in search of or not. For this all who have to turn over his leaves will be grateful to the author. The fault we have to find is with his employment of the plural number when speaking in his own person. We believe this is not uncommon with writers from "the bonnie north," but it is "a custom more honoured in the breach than in the observance." We of the critical craft enjoy by long prescription the privilege of thus speaking, but we hold it' to be little less than petty treason for any not occupying the reviewer's chair to appropriate it. In plain truth, the practice, except where warranted by custom, as above mentioned, is affected, and we have so much respect for Dr. M'Gregor that we are sorry to see him indulge in it. The touching tribute paid by Dr. M'Gregor to fallen officers whose position did not command for them the trumpet tongue of We fame, must be very gratifying to their relatives and friends. quote an instance of it from the account of the battle of Sobraon : "But while thus noticing officers of rank, let us not forget the young and brave, who had for the first time entered the battle field. Poor Hamilton* was one of these. Left behind with the depôt of his regiment in a state of ill health, he no sooner could move than he proceeded with all haste, and at considerable risk, to join the head-quarters of the corps with the army of the Sutlej, but reached them too late to share the dangers of Feerozshuhur. His countenance used to gleam with delight when any of his brotherofficers were describing that hard-fought field, and he longed for an opportunity of joining them in another battle. His wish was soon to be gratified. He left the camp on the morning of the 10th of February, the fine handsome rifleman; and ere the sun had attained its meridian height, he lay a lifeless, mangled corpse before Sobraon. He was wounded and could not retire, and in this helpless condition was cut to pieces by the ruthless and barbarous Sikhs, who spared none of the wounded. His sorrowing relatives have the melancholy satisfaction of knowing that he died the death of a brave and gallant soldier, beloved and esteemed by all his brother-officers. "Poor Davidson, of the same regiment, likewise received his death-wound at Sobraon. To the meekest, mildest spirit, he united the daring courage of a soldier: this was his second battle, for he had shared the danger and glories of Feerozshuhur. On receiving his wound this brave youth's only regret was that it had not at once proved fatal; but ere twenty-four hours had elapsed, he was mingled with the dead; and had a brother fallen, the grief could not have been more poignant than was that of his young companion in arms, who shared the same tent with him, and also watched his departing spirit. * Of the Rifles. "Lieutenant Shuttleworth* fell in the desperate charge on the centre of the Sikh entrenchment. This officer had previous to the campaign obtained leave to revisit his native land, and renew the ties of affection and friendship, after a residence of ten years in a foreign land. He looked forward with pleasure to the day when the cessation of hostilities would enable him to fulfil his intention, a day which had been necessarily postponed. But, alas! a fond mother or affectionate sister, while perusing the glad tidings of the proposed return of a son or brother, little dreamt that the object of their love was then marching to a field where he was destined to fall in the defence of his country, and that by the hand of a barbarous and inhuman foe, who turned a deaf ear to the imploring look and feeble arm of a wounded man. But his body was not hacked to pieces like that of poor Frederick Hamilton; and both were interred by their brother-officers and men, with military honours, on the day following the battle. Shuttleworth was a modest, unassuming man, kind-hearted and a firm friend. While at Akhberwala an incident occurred which may be mentioned. Lieutenant Shuttleworth's company was warned for picquet duty at Little Sobraon, but it had become dark before he left camp, and though the distance was short, he and his men missed the direction of the post, and the first challenge was from a Sikh sentry! To advance would have insured their being taken prisoners; return they could not; and therefore retreating a little, they remained quiet until morning, when it was discovered that the position was close to the place which he was in quest of. Others of this regiment received severe wounds, which afterwards proved fatal; among the rest, Lieutenant John Lambert. To speak of him as merely a brotherofficer would be doing injustice to his memory; he was our friend, the friend of the writer of these pages, and never have we known a more zealous and enthusiastic soldier, or one who more fully sustained the honour of his profession. He had talents of no ordinary kind; and had he been spared, poor Lambert, would have been an honour to the fair town of Alnwick, which gave him birth; but he died the death he coveted-fell fighting side by side with his gallant companions before Sobraon, universally lamented by his brotherofficers, and by none more than him who offers this humble tribute to his memory. "One other officer must not be passed over in silence. "Though wounded at Feerozshuhur, Lieutenant Beatson did not dismount until his horse, wounded in three places, obliged him to do so. The wound experienced by Beatson was a severe one, but even this did not preclude the hope that he would soon return to his post; and while yet weak, and barely recovered, he rejoined the regiment of which he was acting quarter-master, and with it entered the enemy's entrenchment at Sobraon, where he was again wounded, but not dangerously, and there was no reason to entertain any fears for his recovery. He left however, on his way camp, to Feerozpore, was seized with lockjaw, which speedly proved fatal, and thus his friends and the service were deprived of as gallant a young officer as the army could boast of. His mild manners and evenness of temper, combined with his gentlemanly bearing, under which was concealed the most daring courage, gained him the esteem of the regiment to which he was attached, and his own (the 14th Native Infantry) could not more poignantly lament his loss than did the 1st European Light Infantry. "If our readers do not forgive us this seeming partiality, in introducing men unknown to fame, we trust the surviving friends of the latter will be more lenient. We do not mention them as having performed deeds which any other officers would not have done, but merely because we knew them personally. It would be a pleasing task for us to record the brave young soldiers of other regiments, were we as well acquainted with their claims and deserts. There is nothing that tends more to encourage the European soldier in the midst of battle, than the gallant bearing of his young officers; and it so happened, that this particular regiment had scarcely any old officers present; many of the officers had but just joined, and had never heard a shot fired, not seen the face of an enemy; but one and all behaved like true soldiers, and vied with veterans in undaunted courage and gallant bearing."

Bohn. THIS is one of the most entertaining autobiographies ever written, and has long been so regarded, even by such men as Horace Walpole, who, in speaking of it, terms it "more amusing than any novel." A constant succession of adventures and amusing anecdotes endow it with unflagging interest, and combine to render it a most agreeable, not to say instructive, volume. Having once begun to read it, we feel loath to leave off till the end, and then regret that we have finished. Our space will not allow us to extract any of the countless anecdotes scattered so profusely through these pages, but this we * Of the right wing of the First Bengal European regiment. regret the less, as we doubt not that the volume itself will find a welcome reception at the hands of the public. Of the translation we need not speak, otherwise than to observe that it is the work of Mr. T. Roscoe, a name that insures accuracy and elegance to any work to which it is attached. Copious indexes accompany the memoirs, which in every respect display the most careful attention on the part of the publisher, and reflect the highest credit on his exertions to render popular intrinsically good works. For price, and even for quality, it is enough to say of this volume that it is one of Mr. Bohn's incomparable series. A Letter to the Shareholders of the Great Indian and Great Western of Bengal Railways, on their present position and future prospects. By ONE of THEMSELVES. London, 1847. Smith, Elder, and Co. AN earnest appeal in favour of railways in India, and of the claims of the Great Western Company to the Rajmahl line. On one point we suspect the writer to be misinformed as to the intentions of the authorities with whom rests the decision of the question whether India shall have the benefit of railway communication or not. He says, "Four per cent., as a minimum rate of dividend, will be guaranteed in perpetuity, and paid in this country.' We doubt the perpetuity. On the Communications between Europe and India through Egypt. London, 1846. Smith, Elder, and Co. PAMPHLETS are sometimes more important in their character than large volumes. The pamphlet now under notice is a most important one upon a most important subject, and we commend it to general perusal. We have often adverted to the folly of suffering the French to have the vantage over us in the Mediterranean, and we are glad to hail an able ally. The Westminster and Foreign Quarterly Review. No. XCI. January, 1847. London: G. Luxford. THIS is one of the best numbers, if, indeed, it be not the very best that we have ever seen of this periodical. The first article, on the "Revelations of the Telescope," will be read with much pleasure by those who take an interest in astronomical discovery. Mr. Grote's learned "History of Greece" furnishes a theme for a paper well worthy of its subject. The review of the " History of British Ferns " The article on Carlyle's is very attractive. "Cromwell" is, of course, not untinged by party bias, but it is at once instructive, exciting, and entertaining. Another most entertaining article is drawn from that very amusing book, "The Camp and the Barrack-room." Sprat and Forbes's "Travels in Syria, Milyas, and Cibyratis," furnish matter for another very pleasing article. The next article is devoted to the Spanish Marriages;" it is very short, but as it takes the wrong side, need not be wished longer. Then come "Foreign Literature and Correspondence," and a variety of "Miscellaneous Notices," too numerous for us even to glance at. 66 China: political, commercial, and social: treaties and intercourse with England, Russia, France, America, &c.; description of the consular ports of Canton, Amoy, Foochoo, Ningpo, and Shanghai; also of Hong Kong, Chusan, Macao, and Kiachta; reports in detail of the tea-trade, opium, traffic, banking, &c. ; consular regulations, port charges, tariffs, weights and measures, as furnished in reports to her Majesty's Government. By R. MONGOMERY MARTIN, late her Majesty's treasurer for the Colonial, Consular, and Diplomatic Services in China; and a member of her Majesty's Legislative Council at Hong Kong. Part I. Topography, population, productions, government, revenue, and banking system. London, 1846. Madden. MR. Martin's long experience in matters analogous to the subject of this publication, renders it only necessary that, in announcing it, we should say that it is the first part of a work to be completed in four, and that it is worthy of the author's reputation. The Cream of Scientific Knowledge.

By the Rev. G. N. WRIGHT. Illustrated by diagrams. London, 1846. Tegg. A VERY useful little volume. To a person who seeks information on a particular portion of physical science, and who has little time for study, this small summary will prove very acceptable. The language is clear, and with the aid of the diagrams, the meaning of the author cannot be misunderstood. Considerable care has evidently been bestowed on it, and in all respects it is a worthy companion to an excellent little book that issued a short time since from the same house-Buchanan's Technological Dictionary.

By THOMAS THORNTON, Esq.

"These volumes should be in the library of every one who feels an interest in the recent military exploits of our Army of the Sutledge, or in our future political relations of the Punjab. The work has, indeed, this double value,it is valuable for present and permanent reference. Independently, however, from any temporary interest which these volumes may derive from the recent events in the Punjab, they present much curious matter to the historical student, as well with regard to the religious character of the sect from which has sprung the warlike race of modern Sikhs, as with respect to the character and policy of Runjeet Singh."-John Bull, June 6, 1846.

Ross and SoNs can, with the greatest confidence, recommend the above dye as infallible, if done at their establishment; and ladies or gentlemen requiring it, are requested to bring a friend or servant with them, to see how it is used, which will enable them to do it afterwards, without the chance of failure. Several private apartments, devoted entirely to the above purpose, and some of their establishment having used it, the effect produced can be at once seen. They think it necessary to add, that by attending strictly to the instructions given with each bottle of dye, numerous persons have succeeded equally well without coming to them.-Address, Ross and SONS, 119 and 120, Bishopsgate Street, London, the celebrated Perruquiers, Perfumers, Hair-cutters, and Hair-dyers.
