Messrs. Bayly and Newman inform us that they have transferred the business of Mr. Davies, Portman Place, Edgware Road, to Mr. Poole; that of Mr. Collingwood, Epsom, to Mr. Stanhope, of Paddington; that of Mr. Hammond, Holt, Norfolk, to Mr. Watson; and that of Mr. Mansfield, Freeman Court, Cornhill, to Mr. Lucas.

Mr. Banks, of Bolton, has taken the business of his son-in-law, Mr. Meloy, of Sheffield, to which he has added the trade of a file-maker.

Mr. Gilbert C. Walmsley succeeds the late Mr. Joshua Walmsley, of Lord Street, Liverpool, who recently met with a fatal accident.

Mr. Lanacraft, Newton Abbott, has retired in favour of Mr. V. Hills. The transfer was effected by Messrs. Drayton and Sons, Exeter.

Mr. Todd, who for many years has carried on a most respectable trade at Oundle, has retired in favour of Mr. Alfred King, from Mr. Morgan's in Paternoster Row.

THAME, OXON.-Mr. Edward B. Flint has succeeded to the old-established business of the late Mr. Bradford, recently conducted by the daughters of Mr. B., who retired in favour of Mr. Fiint on the 2nd November. The valuation was made by Mr. Gray of Croydon.

BASTED PAPER MILL, KENT.-This mill, destroyed by fire some short time since, is being rapidly re-erected by Mr. Walter Monckton, with the intention again of supplying, as soon as possible, the favourite cream-laid papers, of the quality formerly produced.

LOUDWATER MILLS.-These mills, formerly in the occupation of the late Mr. Herbert Ingram, have been taken by Mr. William McMurray, for the production of fine printing papers.

AMERICA. The state of the book trade in and with America is such that we cannot recommend any houses in England to extend their business in that direction, even if the next steamer should bring us news that all danger of war is at an end. The book trade of the United States is at a dead lock; several of the importing houses have transhipped English books to this country to realize whatever they may fetch, and there is every probability that advantage may be taken of circumstances, by some of the most unprincipled, to repudiate payment altogether. Those English houses most intimately connected with the States, even at the present time, find it next to impossible to get a settlement, and as the difficulty may be said to have scarcely commenced, it requires but small prescience to foretell its increase.

A collected edition of the literary and political works (edited and unedited) of Joseph Mazzini, in the Italian language, is in preparation at Milan, under the title of "Scritti Letterary e Politici editi ed inediti di Giuseppe Mazzini. Raccolti e publicati sotto la di lui Direzione." The work will be divided into two series-one of literature, one of politics; in all about 12 volumes.

THE PRINCE CONSORT.-The Bookseller appears so long after the event that it is too late now to repeat any eulogy upon the deceased, or to remind our readers of the great loss they and the country have sustained by the death of the Prince Consort; but we cannot be altogether silent, the loss is so severe that we are only now beginning to reflect upon its greatness. While the Prince was in our midst, encouraging art and literature, we did him scant justice and criticised his actions with a freedom which must have been deeply painful to a sensitive nature; but full justice is now being done to his memory, and by none more heartily than by the press at large, with scarcely a single exception. We speak of him now with no common sorrow, and it will be many years before his memory is forgotten.

RELIGIOUS PERIODICALS. -Good Words, the complete volume for 1861, is now in our hands, and if any reader thought our praise in last Number excessive, we would recommend him to get this volume and turn its leaves over: looking at the varied nature of its articles, by whom they are written, and by whom illustrated, we think we are not very far wrong in saying that it is one of the cheapest volumes issued during the year, if not the very cheapest. The binding in mauve and gold, with the edges gilt, befits it for any drawing-room table, while the subject-matter is suitable for any society, however refined. The annual volume of the Leisure Hour and the Sunday at Home have also come to hand they are even an improvement upon the preceding years', and both, in a collected form, convey a more favourable impression than the same works in numbers or parts. We must not overlook the oldest of the new periodicals, the Christian Treasury, of Messrs. Johnstone, Hunter and Co., Edinburgh, a firm to whom is due the republication of Owen's works and many other publications invaluable to the Christian minister. The Christian Treasury, now in its eighteenth year, not only exhibits no fallingoff but a positive increase of juvenescence. To any of our readers that may be unacquainted with its merits, we may recommend it as a work in every way suitable for Sunday or daily reading in the most religious families-there are still many thousands who object to fiction, even when of a religious nature, as they consider, with much truth, that if fiction in any form be admitted into the family circle on Sundays, there is no telling how far the licence may be extended-to such persons the Christian Treasury, particularly, addresses itself. Yet there is no lack of interest in it-there are biographies, narratives, descriptions; also Readings for the Young, poetical and other sections sufficiently attractive for all classes. It is pleasing to know, that, notwithstanding all rivalry, the work has still a very satisfactory circulation, and is continually being asked for in fresh channels. Monthly Packet, conducted by the Author of the "Heir of Redclyffe," is intended for the Young Members of the English Church, to whom it has for many years past furnished an inexhaustible store of evening reading. The talented Editor writes a good deal of it herself, and few persons equal her in her delineations of family life in the upper and middle classes, amongst whom the Monthly Packet largely circulates. Akin to this, but intended for more juvenile readers, is the Magazine for the Young. When we mention, that that famous tale, the "Stokesley Secret," first appeared in this and the preceding volume, they will readily comprehend what sterling stuff the magazine is composed of. Next we have the Penny Post, of which, we find, this is the eleventh volume-it has, we believe, the largest circulation of all the distinctively Church serials; but if we read one of the publisher's advertisements aright, this does not exceed 22,000 or 23,000. Surely, there must be room for a much larger circulation amongst the poorer members of the Church of England, if a periodical could be found to suit their tastes and wants? We have also received the annual volumes or parts of the British Workman, the boldest, and best illustrated of all the cheap publications. The Band of Hope Review, illustrated in a similar manner, and lastly, the Children's Friend, supposed to be the oldest juvenile periodical extant.

The

The size of the Quiver, Messrs. Cassell's new journal, was found inconvenient, and they have in consequence reduced it to the octavo form. Messrs. Knight and Son are issuing Foxe's Book of Martyrs in shilling monthly parts (thus placing this standard work within reach of all classes).

THE DAILY TELEGRAPH.-Of this paper there were sold, on the morning of the 16th of December, the unprecedented number of 141,622 copies-a fact attested by the signature of one of the most respectable accountants of the City of London. The penny journal is no longer an experiment but an established fact; and although it still suits the Times to ignore the existence of such papers, there can be no doubt that their influence is extensive, and will extend more and more. They are all excedingly well conducted, and with the exception of some advertisements offensive to good taste, generally contain nothing worse than the Times itself.

NEWSVENDORS' PROTECTION SOCIETY.--On Tuesday night a meeting of the wholesale and retail new agents of the north-eastern districts of the metrepolis was held at the Hare Inn, Hoxton, Mr. J. Smith, of King's-cross, in the chair. Resolutions ! were passed for the formation of a society to protect the interest of the trade, to co-operate with the societies already formed in the west, north, and south parts of London, and to adopt a requisition calling on the weekly papers to raise their prices. and deprecating the recent reductions as uncalled-for by the public, and as a wanton encroachment in the rights and profits of the trade. In the course of some animated discussion that ensued, a suggestion. which met with much applause, was thrown out to the effect that in the event of the movement act being successful, steps should be taken among the 3000 newsagents of London, in conjunction with the trade in the provinces, to establish a joint-stock weekly paper of their own.-Times, Nov. 14.

HAWKERS' LICENCES.-An important case affecting the interest of the number trade and of those be nevolent schoolmasters and clergymen who are asked by London publishers to dispose of their Bibles a other profitable works, was lately decided at the City Police Court, Manchester, by the magistrate. Mr. Ross. A canvasser in the service of Mr. Ains worth, was charged with "Carrying to sell, or exposing for sale" numbers and parts of various publications without having the usual hawkers licence. Mr. Ernest Jones, the barrister retaine by Mr. Ainsworth, contended that the defendant was not bound to take out a licence, as his object was not to sell, but to obtain orders or subscrip tions. Secondly, that the Act, 24 & 25 Vict., evatemplated the hawker selling his own property, while defendant was only Ainsworth's servant. Mr. Ainsworth employed this man for ten years in precisely the same manner, and had never before been disturbed. But the magistrates said they felt boun to convict, and fined the defendant 50s., the lowest penalty. Mr. Jones gave notice of appeal.

LONDON LABOUR AND THE LONDON POOR,- We have just received the third or extra volume of this interesting work, of which we propose to give some notice in our next issue; but, as a large number of persons are looking for its appearance, we may mention that it contains a history of prostitutie from the earliest ages, by Henry Mayhew si Bracebridge Hemyng-the latter of whom supplis a notice of the "Social Evils" of London, in whick he gives an anatomy of gay life here, with ne rous statistics. Mr. John Binny follows with a account of "Thieves and Swindlers," and Mr. Andrew Halliday with another on "Beggars Prefixed is an introduction by the Rev. W. Torkness upon the agencies at work for the purpose of reclaiming the vicious. The volume is one of intense interest, from whatever point of view we may regard it; and although many readers will be attracted by the knowledge of the evils it exposes still more will be desirous of seeing how the wretche persons described may be best dealt with, with a view to their benefit.
