LITERARY NOTICES.

India Salt. Scinde versus Cheshire, Calcutta, and Bombay. With an illustrative Map. By JAMES HENRY BURKE, Esq., Lieutenant Bombay Engineers London, 1847. Smith, Elder, and Co.

THE suggestions of this pamphlet are important. The author reports the existence of a bed of salt covering an extensive tract of land on the western bank of the Koree branch of the Indus, which, from data collected on the spot, he estimates to contain not less than 929,280,000 cubic yards, or nearly 1,484,151,430 tons, being equal, at the rate of 20 lbs. per head, to the supply of one hundred millions of people for 1,662 years. This salt, he cafculates, might be brought into the Panwell market at the rate of 5s. per ton. A specimen has been submitted to analysis, and the result is satisfactory. Some expense would be incurred in providing the means of obtaining a steady supply; but the extent of it, assuming the facts to be correctly stated, would well repay the outlay. It is alleged, moreover, that this great collection of salt is nothing to what is found in another direction, namely, "between Juggee and Surgundah."

We recommend the subject to attention. If the prospects held out can be realized, the chance of the men of Cheshire is not very promising.

The Philosophy of Religion, or an Illustration of the Moral Laws of the Universe. By THOMAS DICK, L. L. D., Author of " The Christian Philosopher," Philosophy of a Future State," "Improvement of Society by the Diffusion of Knowledge," &c. Glasgow and London. William Collins.

THIS is, in many respects, a very beautiful volume; rich in sound views, and abounding in interesting illustrations of important truths. It contains, however, some passages in which neither we, nor, we apprehend, any one else, can agree with the amiable author. He is straitlaced overmuch. He is shocked at the warlike character of our schools, and their teaching; and is thrown into agonies at the thought of a boy reciting "My name is Norval," &c. &c.-a very tiresome exhibition, we admit, but, we suspect, a very harmless one. Then his exposition of the law of truth is such a one as the world certainly never before heard of. Will it be believed that he classes literary fictions among violations of the Ninth Commandment, and is very earnest in denouncing Blue Beard, Cindrella, and Goody Two Shoes as corrupters of the infant mind; and Waverly, Guy Mannering, and Rob Roy as effecting the like mischief in minds more matured? With one who can seriously maintain such opinions, it is obviously idle to reason. What can be said to a man who would proscribe the most powerful means of awakening and drawing forth the latent powers of the intellect, the imagination, and the heart? Cowper, whom he quotes, and we hope admires, was not of his mind, but asserted the right of using the inventive faculties with which he was endowed, in spite of the cant which then found shelter only with infidelity, though now it takes refuge with super-fine-spun pretensions to piety and purity. "I shall not ask Jean Jaques Rousseau If birds confabulate, or no."

The book, however, is silly only by fits it is usually excellent. We have already observed that it contains much that is Lion, mixed up with the canting fancies to which we have been good and beautiful, and we are sorry to see this, the larger por

The Parlour Library. No. VIII, The Old Convents of Paris; by Madame CHARLES REYBAUD; and the Haunted Marsh; by GEORGE SAND. London and Belfast. Simms and M'Intyre.

THE announcement of the titles of these works and the names of their authors will be a sufficient recommendation of the eighth volume of a series of publications unrivalled for cheapness.

The "course of " publishing, like that "of true love," seldom runs smooth; and Messrs. Simms and M'Intyre have found reason to make a public appeal against Mr. William Howitt. It seems that the latter gentleman, in a journal which appears under his name, made some disparaging remarks upon the Parlour Library edition of Consuelo, asserting, among other things, that it was an American translation, and cost the publishers nothing. The publishers lost no time in explaining that five-sixths of the work was altogether an original translation, made for them and paid for by them; and that with regard to the remaining sixth, the American translation had been resorted to in consequence of the person to whom that portion of the tale had been entrusted by the party accountable for the whole having failed to execute the task satisfactorily; but that even with regard to this portion, the American version had been greatly altered, and almost rewritten. It might have been expected that, from the truthloving disciple of George Fox, this explanation would have drawn forth a candid avowal of mistake; but such was not the result. The man who denounces "priestcraft" in the tone of a maniac, and raves about toleration in a spirit of intolerance never surpassed by the most relentless persecutors, has sufficient love of authorcraft to prevent his weakening the effect of any critical sentence he has once delivered by any thing approaching to recantation. Accordingly, when the abovementioned circumstances had been explained to him till further explanation could consist of nothing but mere repetition, he coolly withdrew from the discussion with remarking, as quietly as if he had never heard a syllable to the contrary,-" The translation is what we stated it to be the American one; and having let the public see this, is, we fear, the real sore place!" This is the morality of a modern reformer of the first water. If, in the study of foreign literature, William Howitt have not quite forgotten that of his own country, he may perhaps recollect the advice of Hotspur to Glendowerand the recollection will, we trust, do him good

With an Essay on the Genius and Poetry of Cowper, by the Rev. J.W. CUNINGHAM, Vicar of Harrow. Vol. VI. London, 1847. Tegg and Co. Ir is useless to commend Cowper's poetry. All who read at all are acquainted with it. The sixth volume of this very cheap and very beautiful edition of his life and works commences the poems, and contains Table Talk, the Progress of Error, Truth, Expostulation, Hope, Charity, Conversation, Retirement, and the first two books of The Task, viz. The Sofa and the Timepiece. These are standard favourites (as indeed are all the productions of Cowper). The volume is a delightful one, and its literary charms are aided by a beautiful engraving of Sir Thomas Lawrence's portrait of Cowper, and a vignette view of his summer-house

DIXON'S ANTIBILIOUth such ulusal app No medicine

ANTIBILIOUS PILLS. For the last FIFTY YEARS they have been considered a safe and effectual remedy for complaints arising from affections of the liver and stomach, viz. indigestion, loss of appetite, heartburn, flatulence, spasms, costiveness, and the disorders caused from the want of a proper secretion of the bile. They are well calculated for those persons, and elderly people, who are obliged constantly to take some medicine in order to assist the action of the bowels, as they contain no drastic ingredients (or mercury in any shape), and their repeated use does not lessen their efficacy, or weaken the stomach. They have a peculiar effect in relieving headache, and all the disagreeable symptoms which arise from too much wine, or any excess of the table. As a medicine in warm climates, where bilious complaints are so frequent and alarming, they are an invaluable remedy, and strongly recommended to persons who travel, as they retain their effect for some years.

The proprietors of this excellent preparation, in consequence of repeated application, have been induced to offer a ONE SHILLING BOX, which is sold, wholesale and retail, with the former sizes, at their new establishment, 24, Conduit Street, Regent Street. None are genuine which have not GEORGE DIXON engraved on the government stamp, sealed with his arms; and wholesale by Messrs.

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.

BOOTS FOR INDIA.

TROY (late of STUNT'S), ANATOMICAL BOOT MAKER, No. 376, Strand, London, begs to acquaint officers and gentlemen in India, that he has discovered a new process in the preparation of leather for Boots and Shoes, which renders it soft and pliable as kid, and as durable as calf; it is not affected by any degree of heat, will take a brilliant polish by the common method of cleaning, and is free from that disagreeable creaking noise so often complained of.

T. TROY also begs to call attention to the fact, that bad fitting boots, however large, are not easy, but cause corns and swellings in the joints, which are very difficult to be got rid of. He respectfully states that his anatomical knowledge of the foot enables him to combine ease with neatness, and that he only requires the measure and description of the foot to insure a natural-fitting and gentlemanly-looking boot. His prices are moderate, and his goods of the finest quality. DIRECTIONS FOR MEASURING.

1. The number of inches round the ball or joints of the foot. 2. The number of inches round the instep. 3. The number of inches round the heel to the upper part of instep. 4. The length of foot when sitting. 5. The length of foot when standing. 6. Round the calf. If there be any peculiarity about the foot, lay it on a sheet of paper and mark round it with a pencil, giving thereby its exact form; or, if an old boot can be forwarded, nothing more will be required to insure a good fit.

Prices. Wellington Boots, of the prepared leather for India, 30s. per pair; ordinary, 28s.; Shooting Shoes to buckle, 18s. to 20s. per pair.

COLES'S PATENT TRUSS.

THE late WILLIAM COBBETT, M.P., in his REGISTER for June, 1832, there depicted the sufferings he had endured for 22 years from the want of a perfect Truss; and, having obtained one from Mr. COLES, was instrumental in inducing thousands of persons of rank and fortune to apply to him for relief, whose patent has baffled every attempt to improve them for 27 years past.

"COLES'S PATENT, 3, CHARING CROSS," is marked upon all Trusses.

COLONEL FRANCKLIN informs those who have ruptures that he has been wearing Trusses 30 years, and he never met with but one individual who was master of the complaint. He has likewise an elder brother, a Colonel in the Hon. East-India Company's service, who has worn a similar kind of Truss for many years, who can say the same. Mr. COLES, of Charing Cross, is the individual alluded to.-Blackheath Vale, July 16, 1832. The Colonel was likewise cured of rheumatism by Mr. COLES's Medicated Galvanic Bands, and gave him an excellent testimonial to that effect.

NOTICE. The lives of thousands may be saved by

wearing MARKWICK'S PATENT CHEST PROTECTOR, acknowledged by eminent medical men to be invaluable. The TRAVELLING PROTECTOR no traveller should be without: it is the most comfortable and beneficial article ever invented. MARKWICK'S PATENT SPONGIO PILINE, for Poultices, &c., for every part of the body; and his IMPERMEABLE PILINE, for Gout, Rheumatism, &c. &c., stand unrivalled for their efficacy. Sold by most Chemists, and by the Epithem Company, at their Depôt, 32, King Wil liam Street, City.

Cooper, Esq.; H. A. Cæsar, Esq., M.D.; Alexander Tweedie, Esq., &c. &c.; or reference made to Mr. Franks's character or reputation, as being applicable to any preparation of the said John Weaver, or his said firm.

removed in Youth, and Ladies and Gentlemen, by the occasional use of the IMPROVED ELASTIC CHEST EXPANDER, which is light, simple, easily applied, either above or beneath the dress, and worn without any uncomfortable constraint or impediment to exercise. To young persons especially it is highly beneficial, immediately producing an evident improvement in the figure, and tending greatly to prevent the incursion of pulmonary diseases; whilst to the invalid, and those much engaged in sedentary pusuits, such as reading or studying, working, drawing or music, it is found to be invaluable, as it expands the chest and affords a great support to the back. It is made in Silk; and can be forwarded, per post, by Mr. ALFRED BINYON, Sole Manufacturer and Proprietor, No. 40, Tavistock Street, Covent Garden, London; or full particulars, with prices and mode of measurement, &c. on receipt of a postage stamp.

THOM

TO FLAUTISTS.

PROWSE, 13, HANWAY STREET, OXFORD STREET, LONDON (SOLE MAKER of the CELEBRATED CHARLES NICHOLSON'S FLUTES), takes this opportunity to inform the Musical Public in India and the Colonies that he now also manufactures Flutes on the principle of the talented Flautist, JOSH, RICHARDSON; therefore all future orders should state whether a "NICHOLSON" or "RICHARDSON" Flute is required.

These instruments possess a remarkable brillianey of tone, and are perfect in intonation and tune in every key; the superiority of style in the finishing department leaves nothing to be wished for by the connoisseur, and the plan adopted only by T. P. of seasoning the wood for extreme climates renders these instruments far superior to any others now manufactured.

The prices are the same as for the "Nicholson's" Flutes, and vary, according to their number of keys, from 11 guineas to 30 guineas; and purchasers, to prevent their being imposed upon, will receive a certificate, signed by the approver and maker, thus-JosH. RICHARDSON and THOS. PROWSE.

All orders must be accompanied with a remittance, or by an order through their agent in London. An extensive and modern Stock of Wood and Brass Instruments for Military Bands. THOMAS PROWSE, 13, HANWAY STREET, Oxford STREET, LONDON. No connection with any other House in England.

CAUTION..

TO containing NO OFFICERS of the ARMY in INDIA.-It having

infringement of the subscriber's patent, have been supplied to orders intended for the Patent Drums, Officers who are desirous of obtaining THE PATENT: DRUMS are respectfully solicited to write, or to instruct their agents to apply, direct to the Inventor and Patentee, CORNELIUS WARD, Musical Instru». ment Maker, 36, Great Titchfield Street; or to Mr. KÖHLER, Musical Instru ment Maker, 35, Henrietta Street, London.

The patent construction of Drums is allowed to have perfected these instru ments as to tone, timing, uniform simultaneous bracing, and stability. The Patent Drums are adopted in her Majesty's private band, by the Lord Cham berlain's Office, in the Royal Household Troops (including the Silver Drums), by many Regiments of Cavalry, Infantry, and Yeomanry, by the Philharmonic Society, her Majesty's Theatre, M. Jullien's, and the principal Orchestras in the kingdom.

The important nature of the patent improvements in Drums has induced attempts to vend pretended improvements in Kettle Drums: the Patent Drums are braced and turned from one point, and experience has shewn that simul. taneous and uniform tension cannot be obtained in Drum-heads by means of more than one screw.

AN INJUNCTION was granted on the 15th November, 1843, by the Vice-Chancellor, to restrain Mr. THOMAS KEY, 20, Charing Cross, London, from making, using, selling, or exporting for sale, any Drums to which the patent improvements of CORNELIUS WARD, of Great Titchfield Street, London, are applied. All persons are therefore cautioned against selling, purchasing, or using Drums which contain any of the patent improvements, or in any manner infringe the patent granted for improvements in the manufacture of Drums, to C. WARD, 36, Great Titchfield Street, London.

J. KOHLER'S NEW PATENT LEVER INSTRUMENTS.

KOHLER having brought to perfection and obtained applied to the CORNOPEAN, TRUMPET-CORNETTO, TROMBONES, and FRENCH HORNS, he can now with great confidence, after an experience of five years in bringing the action to its present state of perfection, recommend them to her Majesty's Army and Navy, and all professors and. amateurs. The advantages that this patent gives to these instruments are,— 1. All the tones and semitones produced by the Patent Lever are quite as perfect as the natural notes on the instrument.

2. The intervals in the Diatonic and Chromatic Scales are perfect, the compass greater, and the most rapid and difficult passages may be performed with a precision, freedom, and fulness of tone, and comparative ease to the per

former.

3. Combinations in harmony, which never before could be performed at all by any brass instruments, may now be executed with perfect ease, and ten or twelve instruments on this principle can produce a more rich and sonorous effect than twenty-four could do on the old principles. The harshness of tone in the former brass instruments is entirely done away with, and a set of these instruments, heard together, produces military and harmonious effects never before heard.

These instruments are now in use in her Majesty's Private Band, First Life Guards, Royal Horse Guards, Grenadier Guards, Fusilier Guards, Royal Artillery, 60th Royal Rifles, &c. Testimonials, drawings, and prices, forwarded on application at J. KOHLER'S Manufactory, 35, Henrietta Street, Covent Garden, London.

DEANE'S ambition has ever been to produce the very best Gun that a sportsman could carry into the field; and, among other principal requisites, they have always been determined that its shooting qualities should be decidedly and unquestionably pre-eminent. With regard to the workmanship, G. and J. DEANE only wish that what they turn out of their factory should be placed side by side with any other Guns purchased at whatever cost, or manufactured by any maker, however distin guished; G. and J. DEANE would have no fear as to what the decision of impartial and competent judges would be. G. and J. DEANE have now finished a very extensive stock of every bend, length, and calibre, all of first-rate quality. From these, gentlemen may, without delay, fit themselves, and try the shooting before they buy. Pairs of Guns made to order on the shortest notice. Repairs of all kinds with the utmost despatch.

VARICOSE VEINS, WEAKNESS, FRACTURES, SPRAINS, &c. EUXLEY'S SURGICAL CAOUTCHOUC ELASTIC STOCKINGS are now daily patronized by the leading members of the profession; their superiority over every other manufactured fabric, for artifi. cial support, is admitted by all who inspect them; they afford an equal, comforting, and permanent pressure, on every portion of the limb, avoiding the excessive trouble of lacing; they are drawn on with the facility of an ordinary stocking, adding little or no size to the leg. The success that has attended every case submitted to them, through the profession or otherwise, has established the confidence of all the first practitioners. H. and Co. are therefore enabled to guarantee a comfort and support hitherto unknown in any other form of bandaging. It is remarkable that every kind of surgical stockings lately used have a tendency to impede the free and healthy action of the muscles, thereby producing relaxation and great diminution of the limb.

It is recommended by the first medical men in the kingdom. During sea-sickness, and afterwards, it is most beneficial, in doses of twenty to thirty drops. Families going abroad should be careful to provide themselves with it.

WORTHY OF PUBLIC ATTENTION!!! HAPMAN'S UNIVERSAL PILLS, a combination of

in such due and just proportions, as to form at length an article which, they confidently venture to affirm, will be found superior to any thing of the kind hitherto made known; they contain not a particle of Mercury, or any other pernicious ingredients, but act almost imperceptibly, but none the less surely, as a gentle purifier of the blood and invigorator of the system. Their private use has been for many years co-extensive with that of the Universal Salve, to which they will be found most valuable agents.

The Proprietors might say much in their favour, and would enlarge upon their merits, were they not anxious that they should stand upon their own, and not have the appearance of being (as is too commonly the case) puffed into notice. They will, therefore, content themselves by saying that, in all cases of Bilious Attacks, Indigestion, Constipation of the Bowels, Sick Head-ache, frequent Nausea, Chronic Rheumatism, Lumbago, violent Cold or Cough, Jaundice, and in short all Internal Diseases, their aid will be found to be invaluable.
