shortly to be published from Mr. Tennyson's works. One will be entitled "The Captain," the other "To a Mourner." The Poet Laureate (Tennyson) lately read "Maud" before a select and very limited audience in London. Mr. Tennyson's "Enoch Arden" has had an unusually extensive sale in South Australia. Each leading bookseller at Melbourne received a large number of copies of the volume, and sold the whole within a few hours after the arrival of the mail. Sir Gardner Wilkinson, an old Harrovian, has presented his collection of Egyptian antiquities to the Harrow School Library. A London publisher has reprinted, under the common title of "The Nile Basin," two papers hostile to Captain Speke's claims as a great Nilotic discoverer. The first paper is Captain Burton's discourse read at the Royal Geographical Society, in which he essayed to prove that Tanganyika is the western lake of Ptolemy; the second paper is a review of Captain Speke's "Journal," by Mr. James McQueen.
