A Letter to George Frederick Young, Esq., Deputy-Chairman of the Ship Owners' Association. From D. C. AYLWIN, ESQ. (of the firm of Aylwin & Co. of Calcutta), in reply to certain Questions regarding the Operation of the Navigation Laws on the Trade of Calcutta. London: Madden. THIS little tract is a well-timed attempt to stem the torrent of delusion which threatens to sweep away one of the main elements of our national greatness. It is moreover a very able production; brief, pithy, and to the purpose. The retention or abolition of the Navigation Laws is not a shipping question only, -it is one that should interest every person in the kingdom who desires to see Great Britain maintain the high position which Providence has enabled her to attain among the nations. Like the quack whose medicine is to cure all diseases, however opposite in character, free trade is now pressed upon us as the universal remedy for every national ill, and without regard to any one consideration but cheapness. The proffered cheapness is very often delusive; but whether it be or not, the Navigation Laws are not a matter for rash and reckless experiment. The discussion of their merits involves a question of national life or death. Mr. Aylwin, within the compass of eighteen pages, has disposed of it most decisively, as far as India is concerned, and we cordially recommend his pamphlet to universal perusal. Cholera, Dysentery, and Fever, practically considered, or the Nature Causes, Connexion, and Treatment of these diseases in all their forms. By CHARLES SEARLE, M. D., M. R. C.S. E. late of the East-India Company's Madras Establishment; and during the prevalence of the disease in Europe, physician in chief to the principal Cholera Hospital in Warsaw. London, 1847. Churchhill. DR. SEARLE brings to the subject of which he treats the results of much experience, and his book affords many indications of an acute and inquiring mind. On a matter so purely professional, it would not become us to pronounce an authoritative opinion, but we can have no hesitation in saying that Dr. Searle's views are comprehensive, and that his work merits the serious attention of the practitioners of the healing art. From the dedication "to the medical officers of the Indian army," we learn that the book has received the patronage of the Court of Directors of the East-India Company, afforded after a preliminary inquiry by a medical tribunal. The Overland Indian Mail, by Genoa and Switzerland. London: Letts, Son, and Steer; W. H. Dalton. We are at present in an experimental state as to the best route for the mail between India and England. It is very important that when we decide finally upon giving a permanent preference to any one of those that claim attention, we should decide wisely; and every one qualified to speak should be heard. We think therefore that we shall best fulfil our duty by intimating that the pretensions of the route by Genoa and Switzerland are brought forward in the publication the title of which is above announced, and recommending it to the notice of our readers. P. Virgilii Maronis Bucolica et Georgica. With English Notes Critical and Explanatory, and a Metrical Index. By CHARLES ANTHON, LL. D., Professor of the Greek and Latin languages in Columbia College, New York, and Rector of the Grammar School. A New Edition, corrected. London, 1847. Tegg and Co. DR. ANTHON's edition of Virgil's Pastorals was published at New York in 1846. It displays all the excellencies of the doctor's editions of classical works, and is in all respects as worthy of patronage as his previous labours. The text is based on that of Heyne, as given by Wagner, and the commentaries of Voss, Valpy, Spohn, Wunderlich, and Forbiger have also been laid under contribution to supply the material for the notes. In this, the first English edition, moreover, which is brought out under the editorship of Mr. James Nicholls, many of the notes of Holdsworth have been introduced. The work opens with parallel passages from Greek authors, among whom are Theocritus, Bion, Moschus, Hesiod, Theophrastus, Homer, Aratus, Aristotle, Callimachus, and several chapters of the prophet Isaiah. They are in the original Greek, and there can be no doubt will be of great assistance to the student. Next follows a metrical index, clearing the scansion of all difficulties. Each of the two divisions of the volume is preceded by a dissertation from Dunlop's Hist. Rom. Lit., explaining the nature of the poem, with the time and circumstances of its composition. The notes are as full as those of the Eneid, by the same editor, and as replete with instruction. Passages from the metrical translation of Sewell and Hoblyn have been introduced by Mr. Nicholls. Wood-cuts illustrate the several terms of husbandry used by the poet. From the above it will be seen how perfect an edition of these beautiful poems this is. The mass of reading of all descriptions brought to bear on the subject, and to illustrate otherwise obscure passages, is immense. In most perfect confidence we recommend this work, not only to those educating boys, but to the advanced student. The Bucolics and Georgics have generally an unusual interest for boys; the subjects are homely, and such as they can fully appreciate and enter into the spirit of; the interest which the perusal excites partly arises, it may be, from that innate love of nature and rural objects implanted by a beneficent creator in every bosom; and with such a flowing spring of all illustrative information as is here found it will be surprising if the charms of these sweet compositions be not found irresistible. A Letter on Cotton Cultivation in India, as affected by the EastIndia Company's Salt Monopoly. By D. C. AYLWIN, Esq., (of the firm of Messrs. Aylwin and Co., of Madras, and Messrs. Aylwin, Don, and Co., of Mirzapore). London, 1847. THE old question, "What is the distance between the first of August and the foot of Westminster Bridge," has never, we believe, received a satisfactory answer. This is yet to come, and we expect that when it does come, and not an instant sooner, will an answer be furnished to the question raised by Mr. Aylwin, "What is the connection between cotton cultivation in India and the East-India Company's salt monopoly?" Aylwin maintains that India may become a great cotton-producing country, Eastern India as well as Western, and we agree with him. But it is not so at present, and Mr. A. proceeds not only to ask why, but very kindly to afford an answer-it is all owing to the salt. This is too absurd to dwell upon. The men Mr. of salt have resorted to various modes of making the Manchester people shake in their shoes at the mention of that commodity. First, if salt were free there would be no end of the calicoes which England would send forth to India. This web is destroyed and then a different side of the delusion is presented. If salt could be had for the asking, Manchester would rejoice in such a glut of the raw material out of which she fabricates the said calicoes, as would beat down the price to an old song. There, reader, take which view you like. Either will serve the purpose of the salt manufacturers in this country, who are the only parties concerned in the matter; but if you feel no particular interest in their welfare, you will, without doubt, neglect both, as utterly unworthy of being entertained by a being aspiring to the distinction of rationality. Wishing to part with Mr. Aylwin in good humour, we extract from the pamphlet devoted to the support of one of the most ridiculous positions ever sought to be imposed on human credulity, a passage which contains a very judicious warning, and which both statesmen and "cotton lords" would do well to bear in mind. "The time has now gone by for pleasing illusions about 'British industry being able to compete against the world.' Without underrating British industry, we should but resemble the ostrich, which, when pursued, buries its head in the sand, and thinks it has escaped its enemies, were we to shut our eyes to the fact, that America possesses industry as active and as untiring as even England herself does; and that American industry is at the present moment actually sup planting us in several foreign markets, where formerly we enjoyed an almost exclusive monopoly. Let us, also, warmly as we may advocate the principles of free trade, not be unmindful that this country is daily pouring into the United States, in return for their breadstuffs and cotton, an amount of capital which will give them the means of purchasing that machinery which alone has been wanting to enable America to jostle us more roughly than she has hitherto done; whence it necessarily follows, that, if we cannot obtain supplies of the raw material as cheap or cheaper than she produces them at her own doors, it becomes merely a work of time, ere America will drive us first out of our foreign, next out of our colonial, and finally, even out of our home markets."

THE HE ATLAS FOR INDIA.-The object of this publication, which is issued on the 7th and 24th of every month, is to give, in a condensed form, the news of the preceding fortnight, up to the hour of the mail's departure, collected and arranged with especial reference to the requirements of the Indian public. Whilst matter not affecting the interests of, or calculated in any manner to entertain the Indian reader, is scrupulously excluded, the utmost pains are taken to obtain from every possible sourceoften from original and exclusive sources-information of peculiar interest to residents in the Indian presidencies, Ceylon, China, and the Straits. The better to secure the accomplishment of this desirable end, and to render the publication in every respect what it professes to be, an ATLAS FOR INDIA, the management has been placed in the hands of a gentleman recently editor of one of the leading daily journals of Calcutta. The ATLAS FOR INDIA is not a mere reproduction of the principal contents of the weekly paper, but is in a great measure written expressly for Indian circulation. It contains a compendious narrative of the principal domestic and foreign events of the fortnight; military and commercial intelligence; literary and social chit-chat; items of personal news, &c. &c. Every number embraces a general summary of the news of the past fortnight, written expressly for this journal, regard being had to the relative importance and interest of the different events touched upon, in the eyes of the AngloIndian reader. It is the endeavour of the conductor of the ATLAS FOR INDIA, not only to give a condensed historical narrative of political events, but to catch the tone and temper of the times, and embody in the pages of this journal all that lighter fabric of social and literary intelligence, past, present, and prospective, which, in this age of progress, is so abundant in every great European metropolis. Atlas Office, 6, Southampton-street, Strand. To be had of all News-agents. The next ATLAS FOR INDIA will be published this Evening, August 24th.
