_Illustrations of the Bible, &c. Part 12. Churton._--The continuation of these admirable engravings is entitled to, and we hope is receiving, enlarged public attention and support. The following are the illustrations contained in the twelfth part: "Belshazzar's Feast--The peaceable Kingdom--Esther kissing the Sceptre--Death of Absalom--Solomon's Charge--The Death of Sampson--Jonah cast into the Sea--Hezekiah beholding the Sun-dial." _1. Fruits and Flowers. By the Author of the "Wheatsheaf." pp. 212. Darton._ _2. The Garden. By the Compiler of "Fruits and Flowers," and the "Wheatsheaf." pp. 263. Darton._--These elegant little volumes cannot but be highly acceptable, especially to our pious young readers; they contain such a selection of prose and verse, presented in a form so attractive, that we may fairly presume upon their becoming favourites to a very great extent. _Sober Views of the Millennium. By the Rev. Thomas Jones, of Creaton, Northamptonshire. Seeley and Burnside._--This little work answers to its title in a very great degree. Let the Millennarians be induced soberly to read and consider its contents. _The Christian Journal. Conducted by Members of the Relief Church._--No. 27, for March last, contains a Review of Mr. Anderson's Funeral Sermon for Dr. Carey, and several other highly interesting articles. OBITUARY. MR. H.
