In Bourrienne's Memoirs it is stated, that a M. de Sala had communicated to M. de Metternich at Vienna, that, in the year 1815, he had been engaged by M. de Stein, formerly a Prussian minister, to poison M. de Mongelas, the Bavarian minister. M. de Stein has published a lithographic brochure, in which he indignantly repels this charge, and, among other proofs of his innocence, adduces a letter from M. de Metternich, declaring that no such communication had ever been made to him. This correspondence affords, however, the strongest evidence we have yet seen of the authenticity of Bourrienne's work in other respects; and when we find such persons as Prince Metternich and the Prussian ex-minister bearing witness to its superior and accurate information, we advert with pleasure to the same opinion expressed in the Literary Gazette, upon the authority of an English minister, cognisant of many of the affairs related by De Bourrienne. -The Separation, a Novel, by the Author of "Flirtation."-Wedded Life in the Upper Ranks, a Novel.-Clarence, a Tale of our Own Times.-We understand that Dr. Nares' laborious undertaking, a Life of Lord Burghley, the first volume of which was published in 1828, is Narratives, has in the press a poem entitled Visions of now completed.-The Author of Sketches, Scenes, and Solitude.

James Harris, 1. That interment within the metropolis is highly objectionable, leading to consequences injurious to health, and offensive to decency. It was moved by Andrew Spottiswoode, Esq. M.P. and seconded by Sir Robert Price, M.P. 2. That the most effectual way of remedying the evil is, by the establishment of spacious cemeteries without the limits of the town, which, while they conduce to public health, may be rendered in a high degree ornamental to the metropolis. It was moved by Sir J. D. Paul, and seconded by 8. That in establishing such cemeteries, it is advisable to avoid 4.
