URRENT LITERATURE.

The Diaries and Pocket Boob for 1865, published by Messrs. De la Rue, are even more attractive in appearance than usual, and certainly not less useful. The arrangement of the larger diaries is unsurpassed for convenience, and the smaller pocket-books are more luxurious than ever. Every new delicate shade of colour has been pressed by Messrs. De la Rue into their service, and embodied in the softest of silk linings and the most highly-scented Russia leather. One small ladies' pocket- book in particular absolutely "glitters in purple and gold," but is still quite capable of being put to real and lasting use.
