In the early days of Blackwood's Magazine there appeared in it a poem, called the "Mad Banker of Amsterdam," which was continued through many numbers. A striking peculiarity in the mode of producing the poem was this-the cantos did not appear in regular order, one, two, three, and so on, but without any regard to numerical succession, though each was distinguished by a numerical sign. Thus, Canto 50 would astonish the reader by its appearance upon the heels, perhaps, of Canto 8, and would not improbably be immediately followed by Canto 16. We never knew an instance of the adoption of a similar mode of publication except in the case of the work before us. The first part we noticed some time since; we have now the gratification of announcing the appearance of the third. This we presume is in due time to be followed by the second, à la mode de Blackwood, and the " Mad Banker,"-unless it should be thought better that the fourth should have the pas. The First of a Series of Lectures delivered at the Mechanics' Institution, Southampton Buildings, Chancery Lane, Nov. 27th, 1846, on the actual Condition of the Metrepolitan Grave Yards. By GEORGE ALFRED Walker, Surgeon; Member of several Learned and Scientific Societies, and Author of " Gatherings from Grave Yards," "The Grave Yards of London," "Interment and Disinterment," "Burial Ground Incendiarism," "A Practical Chart of Diseases of the Skin," "The Cure of Ulcers by Fumigation," "The Warm Vapour Cure," &c. London, 1846. Longman and Co. Highley. THE author of this tract, who has been most indefatigable in exposing the abominations and horrors of London burial grounds, public and private, here comes forward to repeat, in the form of a lecture, the appalling facts which he has frequently, though unhappily with little success, displayed in other shapes. That such atrocities should exist-that the parochial clergy and parochial officers should tolerate them-that the Legislature should not interfere to prevent them, would be inconceivable were not the facts unfortunately beyond dispute. Surely in these days, when apple women are abated as nuisances, and muffin boys sent to the tread-mill (so delicate are metropolitan nerves that they cannot endure the sight of one class of offenders, nor the sound of the bells of the other), something must be done to free our great Babylon from the awful contaminations which are revealed in Mr. Walker's pages. We can only exhort him to go on with his task perseveringly, and all his readers (we trust he will find many) to exert whatever influence they may possess in aiding him. There are undoubtedly difficulties in the way of the requisite reforms, the chief of them being the heavy expense which would be imposed on the poorer classes by compelling them to bury their dead relatives at a distance from the crowded metropolis; but the people of a great province, and such in truth is London, ought not to be poisoned because there are difficulties in the way of preserving them from such a fate. The Income Tax: its extension at the present rate proposed to all Classes; abolishing the Malt Tax, Window Tax, and other Taxes, with some Observations on the Tea Duties. By WILLIAM RAY SMEE. Second Edition. London. Richardson. WHATEVER may be thought of the proposal submitted in this pamphlet, it must be admitted that it is brought forward ably, and supported manfully. The author desires to extend the income tax so as to embrace every one down to the labourer; but on the other hand he would relieve the householder by the abolition of the window duties, and the consumer of taxable articles, by taking off the duties on malt and hops, and reducing those upon French wines. Some other imposts are also among the doomed ones of Mr. Smee. The duties on malt and hops pressing especially on the poor, and the tax on windows being not less prejudicial to health than to comfort and cheerfulness, we should rejoice in witnessing their fall; but when we come to think of extending the inquisitorial income tax, and that which must follow, and, which is of far more importance-perpetuating it, we turn chilly, and wish the man that invented taxes were subjected to the penalty of eternally paying them. Looking at the large remissions of taxation made within a few years past, it seems wonderful that the hateful imposts which have justly stirred the wrath of Mr. Smee, should have escaped --or rather let us say, that it would seem wonderful if the world were governed by a few principles of common sense or common humanity. But it would almost seem as if the rule had been to make the remissions on such articles that the people should feel as little benefit as possible from them. Who could have thought of abolishing the duty on glass and keeping on the duty on windows? Or diminishing the duty on brandy, and leaving the labouring man's beer taxed most oppressively? None surely but the statesmen and political economists of the nineteenth century? Without doubt it would be a fine thing to have every house overflowing with Bohemian glass or its imitations; but it would be much better to have abundance of light and ventilation. Brandy may have its uses, but as Quidnunc says, "if men will shoot liquid fire down their throats, they ought to pay for it;" and at all events, they should not enjoy impunity from taxation, absolute or comparative, at the expense of the beverage which to the labouring man is a necessary of life. A Voice from China and India relative to the Evils of the Cultiva tion and Smuggling of Opium: in Four Letters to the Right Hon. Lord John Russell, First Lord of Her Majesty's Treasury. By JAMES PEGGS, late Missionary at Cuttack, Orissa, Author of "India's Cry to British Humanity," &c. &c. London. Harvey and Darton. Ir can now scarcely be necessary to expose the evils arising from the abuse of opium; but, like many other acknowledged evils, they maintain their ground in spite of all efforts to put them down. This, however, is no reason for abandoning the attempt. How long did the slave trade hold out against the strenuous onslaughts of the abolitionists! But its hour of doom came, and Great Britain was relieved from the foul blot upon her character arising from her participation in that hateful commerce. Mr. Peggs, in the pamphlet before us, deals to the opium trade "a heavy blow and great discouragement," and we cordially wish his efforts success. Of all the vile practices in which men indulge, few are so widely mischievous as the habitual use of opium; and it is melancholy to recollect, that while we are lamenting the fatuity of the Chi. nese in this respect, we of this country, "in this enlightened age," as it is the fashion to call it, are liable to a large share of the obloquy which we throw on them. Not only is British capital employed in destroying foreigners by means of opium, but in our cities and populous town the poison is daily and hourly imbibed to a fearful extent. Mothers still the cries of their children with it, the starving seek by it to appease the pangs of hunger, the mentally wretched resort to it as an "oblivious antidote " to their woes, and some even employ it as an instrument of excitement to enable them to shine in the gayer circles of society, and win applause for their conversational powers or their skill in the arts of pleasing.

MPORTANT INFORMATION.-Unprincipled individuals, for the sake of gaining a trifle more profit, vend the most spurious compounds under the names of "Macassar Oil," "Kalydor," "Odonto," &c.; some under the implied sanction of Royalty, &c. &c. They copy the labels, advertisements, and testimonials (substituting fictitious names and addresses for the real) of the original preparations. It is therefore highly necessary to see that the word "ROWLAND'S" is on the wrapper of each article-All others are FRAUDULENT IMITATIONS!! ROWLAND'S MACASSAR OIL.-The singular virtues of this successful invention for restoring, improving, and beautifying the Human Hair, are too well known and appreciated to need comment." The very fact of its having obtained the especial patronage of her Majesty the Queen, H.R.H. Prince Albert, the whole of the Royal Family, and of every Court in the civilized world, and the high esteem in which it is universally held, together with the numerous testimonials constantly received of its efficacy, afford the best and surest proof of its merits.-Price 3s. 6d. ; 7s.; family bottles (equal to four small), 10s. 6d., and double that size, 218. per bottle. CAUTION.-On the wrapper of each bottle of the genuine article are the words, in Two lines, ROWLAND's Macassar OIL. All others are fraudulent counterfeits.

Its purifying and refreshing properties have obtained the exclusive patronage of the COURT and the Royal Family of Great Britain, as well as of the principal Courts of Europe, and the most distinguished nobility and gentry of all civilized nations. Beware of spurious "KALYDORS," containing mineral astrigents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and which, by their repellent action, endanger health.

Commissioners) on the Government Stamp affixed on eacb.-Price 4s. 6d. and 88. 6d. per bottle, ROWLANDS' ODONTO, or PEARL DENTIFRICE, a white Powder for the Teeth, compounded of the choicest and most "recherché ingre dients of the Oriental Herbal," of inestimable virtue for preserving and beautifying the Teeth and strengthening the Gums.
