AUGUST 1, 1866. LADY NOVELS.-It is affirmed that Miss Marian | Evans has been paid five thousand pounds sterling for her new novel, published by Messrs. Blackwood & Sons, Edinburgh and London, entitled "Felix Holt, The Radical." Miss Braddon's forthcoming novel of society will be called "The Belgravia," it is said. UNDER the name of "The Stranger in London," a new journal has been presented to the English public. Each article contained in it will be printed in three languages-English, French, and German.

BARON LYTTON OF KNEBWORTH.-Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton has been made a peer of England, with the above title. Lytton was his mother's family name, and Knebworth, in Herts, the estate which she bequeathed to him, her third son. THE LITERATURE OF BILLIARDS.-Several treatises upon billiard-playing and players have been published in England and France, and there is a periodi cal, issued at New York, entitled "The Billiard Cue." Longman & Co., of London, have lately published "The Billiard Book," by Captain Crawley; and the "Athenæum," in a very learned and elaborate review, discusses the history of the game-attributing its invention, not to Henrique Devigne, a French artist, who flourished in the reign of Charles the Ninth (1550-1574), but to the English-this on the authority of Dr. Johnson's Dictionary. It certainly was a familiar game in Elizabethan England, and is alluded to by Shakspeare, Ben Jonson, and Spenser. LOCAL REVIEWS.-The "Edinburgh Review" has long since ceased to merit its distinctive local name, for it is published in London, by Longman & Co., Paternoster Row, and the "Dublin Review" is in the same category, being published by Burns, Lambert, & Oates, Portman Street, London. THE DRAMA.-Original plays, not "adapted from the French" or from English sensational novels, are so scarce that we mention, as news of literature, that Mr. Watts Phillips, a popular and productive English dramatist, produced a new three-act play at the Princess' Theatre, London, which is wholly original and has been unusually successful. It is called "The Huguenot Captain," and the scene is in Paris, about the time of the massacre of St. Bartholomew. MR. BOUCICAULT.-This clever dramatist has translated his own sensational melodrama of " Arrah na Pogue" from English into French, changing the title to "Jean la Poste," and produced it at the Gaité Théâtre, Paris, with no small success.

New York: Harper & Bros. The very conception of this book, embodied in its title, gives to the reader the charm of something fresh and large, and the book itself is worthy of its theme. It admits us to the private life, the home felicities, arts and annoyances of our elder but humbler brothers in the occupancy of this broad world, of this airy ocean above us, of these streams and seas beneath us. Man is the This volume embraces a large body of useful information, and of curious and ingenious speculation. That, in a general way, the face gives indication of character, is beyond all dispute, and those who desire to see how largely and skilfully a framework of scientific speculation and detail can be raised upon this basis should read the work of Mr. Wells, which shows much reading and observation, is written very pleasantly, and garnished with a great number of pictures, many of which are well engraved. Merely as a collection of portraits and sketches, the book would be worth reading. RELIGIOUS. Aunt Honor's Keepsake. A Chapter from Life. By Mrs. J.
