Wales was settled as long ago as 1788, and other parts of Australia for as much as forty years. In the summer of 1862, Sir George Brown, Governor of Queensland, made a voyage of inspection to the northern part of the colony, and recommended Port Albany, Cape York, as a site for a new settlement. The following year the Government acted on his recommendation, and sent out a detachment of marines to assist in the formation of the town, confiding the task of establishing it to Mr. Jardine, then police-magistrate of Rockhampton, a town four hundred miles distant, and separated from it by wastes of hitherto unexplored and unknown country. Mr. Jardine, while making preparations to depart for the new station by sea, sug. gested the desirability of an overland expedition, and proposed that his own sons should undertake it. The Government readily acceded to this proposition; and the exploring party presently set out, accompanied by a qualified surveyor, who acted as geographer, and four native blacks. In the prime of youth, the brothers Jardine traversed over 1,600 miles of bush and forest, the last 250 on foot, in consequence of the loss of their horses; encountering such fatigues, privations, and disappointments as are only experienced by such daring pioneers. But they succeeded in estab lishing the fact that the interior of the country is inhabitable, and solved the geographical question as to the course of the northern rivers that empty themselves into the Gulf of Carpentaria. This brilliant exploit is graphically detailed in the narrative before us, which is illustrated by a map of the route and photographic portraits of the young explorers. "Had poor Wills been associated with companions of the Jardine stamp," says Mr. Byerley, "there would have been a different tale to tell from that which lends so melancholy an interest to his name." But whether

this be so or not, the narrative is intensely interesting. A Fern-book for Everybody. By M. C. COOKE. (Warne and Co.)-No plants are so widely distributed as ferns, and few are so beautiful in all their varieties. Of late years great interest has been displayed in the culture of the more elegant species of ferns, and hence books descriptive of their character and modes of cultivation has attained considerable popularity. In this "Fern-book" all the British ferns are accurately figured, and the necessary directions for the formation of a fernery or a herbarium are given in concise and untechnical language. Lists are also presented of such hardy foreign ferns as may be introduced into a Wardean case or conservatory, and all proper instructions as to their management, growth, propagation, and peculiarities are so plainly set forth, that any persons desirous of ornamenting a window, a conservatory, or a garden, with specimens of these exquisite cryptogaminous plants, may do so at a very small expenditure of time or money. While few flowering plants will bear the confined smoky atmosphere of a London garden, or a city house, numerous varieties of the fern flourish abundantly, requiring less care than the commonest fuschia or geranium.

The Practical Poultry Keeper. By L. WRIGHT. (Cassell and Co.)-On the general management of domestic fowl, on both large and small scales, with a view to profit or exhibition; the different breeds of fowls, ducks, &c., and the effects of crossing them, and the artificial hatching of eggs, Mr. Wright makes some very sensible observations; but his book is principally remarkable for the judicious use he has made of the writings and experiences of others.

The Orchard and Fruit Garden; their Culture and Produce. By ELIZABETH WATTS. (Warne and Co.) -Miss Watts, already well-known as the author of "Flowers and the Flower Garden," the "Poultry Keeper," and other works of like character, has in this, her latest contribution to the literature of the cottage and family circle, given a very clear and concise account of the way in which the cultivation of fruit may be rendered a source of both pleasure and profit. She shows how a piece of ground of any size between a pole and an acre, may be made to yield abundant crops of apples, pears, cherries, gooseberries, currants, strawberries, raspberries, and many other kinds of fruit, not only without any very great outlay, but also without any great expenditure of time or trouble. Her chapters on grafting and budding, train

ing, planting, pruning, &c., will be found just what ti cottager or small-grower requires-neither too hi nor too technical, but thoroughly plain and practial Contributions to Natural History, chiefly in relation the Food of the People By a Rural D.D. Seem Edition. (Blackwood and Sons.)-The second edita of this clever and amusing book makes the public a quainted with the name of its author-Dr. D. Esi of Rescobie, Forfarshire. That is not all, howe for this second edition, though considerably redne in price, is greatly improved in many important spects. While the original chapters on horses funguses as food for the people remain, the comp tively unimportant treatise on "pearl culture replaced with "fish culture," and a "new system v sea fishing." Several wood engravings have been ade to the text, and the whole has been carefully reris, ! China; a Brief Account of the Country, its Inhabit -1 and their Institutions. By SAMUEL MOSSMAN. (Souett for Promoting Christian Knowledge.) - Althoug China is one of the largest countries in the world, Lu though it has enjoyed the blessings of civilisation ins the earliest times, and has been known to Europe nations for many centuries, yet till the present day i internal economy and strange peculiarities have be as a sealed book to inquiring travellers. By the treat negociated by Lord Elgin in 1860, the barriers of ea clusiveness which had hitherto been erected about its cities, were broken down, and now Englishmen may travel throughout the length and breadth of the flowery land, almost as freely as they can in France or er many. In this little volume, Mr. Mossman, late Editor of the "North China Herald," gives his readers a good, but necessarily brief, account of China Proper; presenting the details of the geography and population. the religious history, civilization. government, language, literature, manufactures, and social condition of the country and its people, in a series of graphic chapters, illustrated with a map and names engravings.

Domestic Management; or, Hints on the Training and Treatment of Children and Servants. By Mrs. C. Dors. (Edinburgh: Nimmo.)-The physical and moral trais ing of children has, perhaps, been as fully discussed by other writers, but we do not remember to have seen the vexed question of domestic servants so ably and delicately treated as it is by Mrs. Doig. Recognising the fact, that the idea of a family is not complete unless it includes every member-master, mistress, children, and servant she speaks of the reciprocal duties of each and all, and shows how good employers make good servants, and vice versú.

Velpeau's Lessons upon Surgical Diseases. Collected and Edited by A. REGNARD, and translated by W. C. B. FIFIELD, M.D. (Boston, U. S.: J. Campbell-Te lectures upon the diagnosis and treatment of surgica diseases, delivered in 1865 to the students of the Im perial Academy of Medicine, in Paris, by Professor Velpeau, have been translated by Dr. Fifield, for the benefit of his professional brethren in America. These latest utterances of the celebrated operator and investigator-here called the "King of Surgeons"-are contained in ten chapters, severally devoted to fractures, affections of the joints, inflammations burns and contusions, statistics of operations, a like subjects.

Methomania: a Treatise on Alcoholic Poisoning. By Albert Day, M.D. With an Appendix by Dr. H. R. STORER. (Boston, U. S.: J. Campbell)-Dr. Albert Day is the Superintendent and Physician of the Boston "Home for Inebriates," and the alarming prevalence of the vice of drunkenness in America has so forced itself upon his attention, that he has issued this treatise with a view to direct the public mind to its direful consequences delirium, crime, atrophy, paralysis, softening of the brain, insanity, idiotcy, and

death.

Ellerslie House. A Book for Boys. By EMMA LESLIE. (Partridge.)" Stick to your principles," motto illustrated in this well-written tale of schoolboy life. Whatever personal acquaintance a lady may be supposed to have of the school duties of boys, their quarrels and reconciliation, their games and their studies, their friendships and little mischiefs, their triumphs and their failures, is made the most of by

fiss Leslie. There is a fashion in these stories. frs. Heary Wood having set the example of telling a chocl tale, it follows, almost as a matter of course, hat other ladies should try their pens in similar Entures; and it is something to be able to write a pook for boys, which boys will take pleasure in reading. Standing and Stumbling. By JAMES ERASMUS PHILIPS, MA. (Rivingtons.)-The Vicar of Warmaster has wisely united his three addresses, so that they now appear as separate sections of our handy hitte volume. The first part treats of "seven com

faults-grumbling, temper, thoughtlessness, ver-anxiety, selfishness, indolence, and self-will; the second, of your duty and mine"-the duties of wives and husbands, children and parents, servants and Basters; and the last, to "things rarely met with"

nce, meekness, unworldliness, humility, resignaand love of enemies.

Cimpses of the Celestial City, and Guide to the Inrice. (Ediburgh: Nimmo.)-The Rev. Dr. John Macarlane. in his "Introductory Note" to this volume, ry correctly says, 46 we know but little of heaven." be scriptural descriptions of it are highly figurative, share, therefore, imparted a similar character to the of those treatises that have of late been pub.

We greatly prefer the real to the merely factful, and hence the plan adopted in this little work, which contains simple but instructive extracts, Pn the subject of the Paradise of God, taken from the best authors of every rank and sect.

Aming the Masses; or, Work in the Wynds. By the Rev. D. MaccoLL, of Glasgow. (Nelson and Sons.)— The Wynds of Glasgow are long, narrow, filthy lanes in the heart of the city, packed close, from cellar to Carret, with the poorest and most disreputable classes of the working population. These dingy, ill-ventilated places are crowded with whiskey-shops and other desirable adjuncts of poverty and crime; and, like 1 the old Westminster and Whitechapel of London, are sellom visited by any respectable people but those

are compelled by business. In these wretched neighbourhoods philanthropists began to labour, the few years ago, in order to bring their inhabitants to a sense of their social misery, and, if possible, imimprove the condition of the place and its people. To large extent they were successful, as this volume

only proves. Churches were built, schools ased houses repaired, filth removed, airless opened out to the light; lectures and house to se visitations organized, prayer meetings, addresses, religions services founded, and numerous refor Bay movements commenced, in places which had erto seemed to defy the efforts of missionary and trans of the clergyman and the well-meant efforts anthropist, and reject with equal scorn the ministhe capitalist. Though much has been done, much al remains to be accomplished; and the publication Mr. Maccoll's volume can scarcely fail to enlist sters in this good work, among the masses in the

Ma hester of the North.

Rr. P. STEEL (Nelson and Sons.)-Here we have The Chrutian Teacher in Sunday-Schools. By the be teacher's life, the teacher's knowledge, his library, cass choir, motive, model, and reward-each topic pying a chapter full of suggestion: the whole Aming a book which seems entirely adapted to its purpose that of familiarising its readers with the pratical details of teaching and presenting them with examples of the way in which even the humblest may Take their talents useful and profitable.

details of the "Quaker Missionary," whose advocacy of social reforms was not confined to one neighbourhood or one class of people, but equally concerned itself with the morals of the kings and queens, the condition of the slaves in America, and the state of the workpeople in mines and factories. As worker, preacher, and philanthropist, he was incessantly moving from place to place, principally on foot; but in 1829, on his return from the United States, he retired to Tottenham, where he was well known and respected by both rich and poor; and there he remained till his death in 1836, at the age of eighty-three. A portrait of this remarkable man, taken from one made shortly before his decease, forms the frontispiece.

Thomas Shillitoe, the Quaker Missionary and Tem perance Pioneer. By W. TALLACK. (S. W. Partridge.) The names of Thomas Shillitoe and Peter Bedford, the Spitalfields philanthropist, are better known to the Poor than to the general reader. Long before the world had heard anything of temperance societies and refor matory movements, these two men laboured energecally to mitigate the evils of drunkenness, to waken to expose the abuses then rampant in our prisons the sympathies of the wealthy in favour of the slave, Mod workhouses, and generally, to throw light into dark places. That they succeeded, in a great measure, In accomplishing their desirable ends, is proved by Mr. Tallack, who in this memoir presents us with my personal reminiscences, and various interesting

The Young Man Setting out in Life. By W. GUEST, F.G.S. (Jackson and Walford.)-Four addresses, intended for the perusal of members of Young Men's Christian Associations, and young men generally, in which the author "attempts to portray some of the aspects of modern life, and some of the alarming and imperiling temptations with which modern habits, and modes of opinion" surround the youth of great cities. The lectures, which are well and forcibly written, are severally entitled,-" Life: how will you use it? Sceptical Doubts: how you may solve them? Power of Character: how you may assert it? And Grandeur of Destiny: how you may reach it."

The Spirit Disembodied. By HERBERT BROUGHTON. (Edinburgh: Nimmo.)-The scope of his treatise is thus stated by its author:-" The whole argument of the existence of the disembodied spirit and our immortality, is grounded upon the existence of the Deity-which is not assumed, but proved." Taking these propositions as irrefragable, Mr. Broughton goes on to argue by deduction, that there is an eternal, thinking, acting spirit disconnected with man's material body, which spirit may exist either in conjunction with, or separate from the living organism. This theory leads naturally to a consideration as to the ministry of angels, the recognition of souls in heaven, and life after death-all which topics are discussed with considerable force of language and reverent power of conviction.

Marvels of Creation. (Nelson and Sons.)-The subjects illustrated by pen and pencil pictures in this pretty little book are-earthquakes and volcanoes, caverns and deserts, glaciers and icebergs, coral islands, cataracts, and ocean currents.

A

Parkyn Jeffcock, Civil and Mining Engineer. Memoir. By his Brother, J. T. JEFFCOCK, M.A. (Bemrose & Lothian.) On the 12th of December last a telegram from Barnsley was delivered in Derby, "The Oaks pit is on fire; come directly." Mr. Parkyn Jeffcock, the managing engineer of the colliery, received it, answered it; telegraphed the news to London, with the addition, "I'm off there," and went immediately to Barnsley, where he learned that an explosion had occurred in the coal mine, and that three hundred and forty men and boys were at that moment lying either dead or dying in the dark bowels of the earth. The brave young man reached the pit's mouth between nine and ten o'clock on a Wednesday morning. It was necessary that the mine should be explored, and that some brave leader should take charge of the expedition. There might still be a few workers alive in the dreary pit, though columns of flame and smoke were rushing up one of the shafts, and every instant giving the lie to the supposition. Without hesitation Mr. Jeffcock led the forlorn hope, and descended into the pit; his example giving strength and encouragement to his intrepid followers. There in the sulphurous working of the exploded mine he and his followers remained for hours, seeking for any of the men who might providentially have escaped the attack of their invisible enemy-the deadly choke-damp-and gathering together the ghastly heaps of slain. Explosion followed explosion. One man only of those who were in the pit when the first alarm was given escaped with life, and the hero of the hour fell a sacrifice to duty, and at this moment lies dead and undiscovered in the scene of his gallant deed. The whole particulars of the catastrophe are given in this Memoir, in which also we learn what a single-hearted, generous, kind, and Christian man young Parkyn Jeffcock was.
