A moveMENT has been started for the erection of a statue of Earl Russel in the City of Lendon, which the deceased noble- man so long represented. Among the sub- scribers already on the list are the Earl of Beaconsfield, Mr. Gladstone, Lord Salis- bury, Sir Stafford Northcote, the Arch- bishop of Cantebury, the Marquis of Hart- ington, Lord Granville, Lord Derby, Mr. Goschen and Mr. Cross.

In consequence of the head tax now levied in British Columbia, the Chinese in every branch of employment have struck, and telegrams had been sent to various points inviting white labour to the Pro- vince. Some white female cooks have ar- rived in Victoria, but although they offered to work as cheaply as the Celestials they experienced considerable difficulty in se- curing engagements.

A Montreat dispatch of the 15th inst. rzports : ‘‘In consequence of the announce- ment of only a five per cent. half-yearly dividend by the Bank of Montreal to-day, its stock fell from 167? to 155.

On Tuesday the Local Government of Nova Scotia resigned, and the Lieutenant Governor sent for Mr. Holmes, leader of the Opposition, to ask hin to form a Gov- ernment. The Herald understands that Mr. Holmes accepted the task. No an- nouncement of the new Cabinet will likely be made till the 21st inst. Considering the weight and delicacy of the duty which now devolves on Mr. Holmes, it is well that nothing like precipitation should mark the initial steps of the new administration.

Tue purse “containing sixty dollars and five blank checks,” which was lost between the Revere House and the Post Office on the night of the 9th inst., and which was advertised in ou ‘‘ Want and Lost” column, has, without doubt, been found by a most dishonest person—a person who would not scruple to pick it from the pocket of the loser. Early on Tuesday morning last, a little boy, who said he was from the gountry, entered the law office of Messrs. Hodgson & McLeod, and left the lost purse

with one of the students. On opening it the student found that the purse contained all save and except the sixty dollars. The boy did not wait for the reward for “ the lost purse.”

Literary Notes.

Mr. Charles Dickens has undertaken to write a life of the late Charles Matthews. based upon material supplied by the execu- trix, including, for the early years of his life, an autobiography prepared for publication by Mr. Matthews.

The new Life of William Cobbett, by Ed- ward Smith, will be published during the coming season. ‘The work of Mr. Smith is the result of many years’ study into the motives and results of Cobbet’s varied actions. He takes a more favorable view of Cobbet’s career than that which has prevailed with the general public.

The example of Punch in publishing its vol- ume of Beaconsfield cartoons has been followed by Judy, who announces a similar collection illustrating the career of Mr. Gladstone. These cartoons cover a period of only ten years, while those of Punch cover thirty. Each cartoon has a short explanatory foot- note, which gives the circumstances under which it was published.

A rich treasure has been offered the British National Portrait Gallery for purchase—an original likeness of Charles Lamb, painted by the artist and essayist, William Hazlitt, and presented to Coleridge. It represents Lamb at the age of about thirty, in a sixteenth cen- tury Spanish costume, half length and full size, and is said to show Hazlitt’s capability asa painter to be inferior only to his acknowl- edged ability as an author.

Tennyson’s recent visit to the wilds of Con- nemara, in Ireland, promises to bear fruit in a new idyl called ‘‘The Daughter of Dervar- ghal.” ‘The story is said to be founded on a romantic passage in Irish history, and to have its incidents and scenes laid entirely in Ire- land. It is the intention of Moxon & Co., of London, to publish Dore’s illustrations of the ‘** Tdyls of the King” in one volume. They have obtained Mr. ‘Tennyson’s permissicn to print the passages from the poems which are ulustrated in the plates.

A writer in the London Jimes says that in Mr. Gladstone’s notable article entitled, ‘‘Kin beyond the Sea,” the couplet from Heber’s ‘* Palestine” is strangely misquoted. Instead of the lines—

** No workman's steel, no ponderous hammers rung,

Like some tall palm the stately fabric

sprung,” as incorrectly given by Mr. Gladstone, they should read— ‘* No hammer fell, no ponderous axes rung,

Like some tall palm the mystic fabric

sprung.”

Epwarkp Hanian IN 1860.— The following item from the Toronto Colonist of September 6th, 1860, will be read with interest by all the friends of Hanlan: ‘‘We are informed that a young child named Edward Hanlan, three and a halt years of age, will, to-day, weather per- mitting, row across the bay in a small boat, starting from the Island at twelve or three o’clock, the first hour if the weather is suitable. He will land at the market wharf.”
