Longman and Co. Few countries have a literature richer in lyric poetry than that of Germany, notwithstanding its comparatively modern growth—and two names, Schiller and G oe th e . By confining his selection, alone would suffice to render it immortal, those of then, almost, wholly to the poems of these great writers, Mr. Stock has acted wisely, inasmuch as quality should especially characterise a work of this kind; and, for strength and sweetness, suggestive ness and finish, together with a wild imaginative power, many of their poems, if not unique, are at least unsurpassed. Among our own poets Coleridge is p rhaps the one who appro3imated the most closely to some of their most peculiar character istics, but he mi sse d th e i r completeness. Neither Goethe nor Schiller could have left " Christabel" unfinished. What they saw they saw clearly. They had a true Greek hatred of fragments. Their minor poems are perfect as exquisitely sculptured gems, and their merit in an artistic sense cannot he too strongly brought before the English public. We welcome, then, Mr. Stock's volume, not merely on account of its motive, but from its intrinsic merit. "The translator," as ho observes in the preface, "of verse into verse has no small difficulty to struggle with in giving, as he is bound to do, the sense of the original exactly and perfectly. He ought to render line for line—nay, so far as pos sible, word for word; at any rate, to add nothing to, and subtract nothing from, the meaning." Moreover, he says, "But the translator of lyric verse has yet another duty to perform. He ought to preserve accurately the metre of the original poem. For a great lyric poet as certainly discerns and selects the metre most saited to his subject as he does the thoughts and words; and if rendered in any other form a great portion of the spirit of the original is sure to evaporate." It is clear, then, that he has had a full sense of the difficulties and responsibilities of his undertaking, and we feel bound to say that if unable in every case to act up to it, he has upon the whole acquitted himself most creditably • and as the original is in each case printed side by side with tins translation, compari son is easy. Among the poems given are Schiller's " Knight Toggenburg " and " King of Poly crates," Goethe's "Er! King," "Bride of Corintii," and " The God and the Bayadere." There is also an excellent version of Burger's "Lenora," and the volume concludes with two poems from the Italian, the one from Boccacio's prose tale " Pasquino and Simone," the other of Manzoni's fine ode on the death of Napoleon, called " The Fifth of May." It is handsomely got up, and those commencing the study of German literature will find it pecu , liarly valuable, American Disunion, By Charles Edward Raw lins, jun. Hardwicke : Piccadilly. This volume eonsists of a reply to Mr. James Spence upon the question, " Is Secession a Consitu tional Right," discussed in his rec ent wor k, " Th e American Union." It is, therefore, controversial in nature, and the question involved is whether the Southerners are patriots or rebels. To solve this point Mr. Rawlins examines carefully the articles of confederation and the Constitution of the United States, bringing forward a number of authorities in support of his views, and deciding emphatically against the South. Whatever may be the correct ness of his opinions, they are at least clearly state& and we commend it to the attention of those who have read Mr. Spence's work. The North of England Magazine (April).—The opening article treats of " National Prosperity and Progress." A tale called " Out of Darkness into Light," is commenced. Several poems are given, and the writer of " North and South" believes "that the future destinies of our country will be principally moulded by the north of England." Ballot. By W. H. C. Nation. Effingham Wilson. —Having read the Rev. Sydney Smith's essay against vote by Ballot, and differing strongly with the opinions expressed in it, Mr. Nation took up his pen to refute them, and has published his convictions in the form of a sixpenny pamphlet. We cannot discuss the efficiency of the Ballot sys tern hero, hut refer our readers to its practical ope ration in France, America, and Australia. ~`w IV S PA pER ,7; 7 3 4 ,.5---T: 7: .-. a" , 4„if, - ,::: --- Ti_k,,,,,,;•k• A % situdes of the war the SenthevQ:biO%o s ica should send an emboss .4i).y.4,,,,, 4),„ .1d! , - . k tzeit. :7 4 ' lr ii the, say, " Very well, we , ‘,i•lii4 itartijd);:ik nr arms on one condition ; a k li - 144dir: compact and ready to ma • e i d p 13 are: ready to attach to it every seatilari nd arantee , that you can imagine for holding as fast, but upon this one condition,—that you shall assure us that there shall be no interference with our domestic ins stitutions ;"—ah, gentlemen, we have heard of the fear that that application—if it were made—would. receive a very favourable reply. (Cheers.) I think it was well stated by my noble colleague, Lord Rus sell, that this was a "a struggle on the one side 14 supremacy, and on the other for independence." (Cheers.) Now, I cannot but sympatni ze w i t h 0, 0 ,, who are making the struggle for supremacy. It ir. painful to surrender a great, an imposing, an d mag nificent national unity. We, the English people, in other times have felt that. pain. (Te:>,iAr, hear.) W e know what it wr.e. Old George 111. upon the throac, whether you approve his policy in all things or n o t, had all the feelings of an Englishman—was a flute Englishman in heart and sentiment, lie felt his heart rent in twain by the lacerntion of the t mpiro when the American Colonies were parted from us. But the experience we have had in our own national history gives us in some degree the means of judg• ing of the prospects of this American struggle better than those which are possessed by the Americans themselves. We have found that after the pain of that severance was over we came at length to recog nize it as a good, and we are thankful teat the American Colonies Were parted from us, because we think that we could not have governed. them for their own advantage as they have been , enabled to govern themselves. (Hear, hear.) Soma persons may say that the Northern States are a great deal stronger than the Southern, and there fore they must win. Now, England was in f ormer times a great deal stronger than Scotland, bat Englishmen as well as Scotchmen now know that, when it was the object of England to establish by force her supremacy over Scotland the Scotch proved themselves to be what are called " very ugly cus tomers"—(laughter)—and at length it was not the exercise of force, but a sense of policy and prudence on both sides, dictated in the main by natural cir cumstances, which led to the union of the two king doms. Bat the position taken by the Northern States is this: " We won't let you go ;" while the position taken by the Southern States is, ~ We aro determined to go." (Hear, and a laugh.) Well, gen tlemen, you are men of business, and I ask you if and 9f you has got a partner, and that partner wants to separate; . from you, whether in the long run it is not very diffictilt to hold him. (Laughter and cheers.) Bat, supposing' that you were able to hold that partner, supposing you could contrive some indenture of partnership by which be should abdi cate his free.will and tie himself to you like a cap tive at the chariot wheel of a victor, he still retain ing an alienated heart, no common interest in the business, having a desire to trip you up nod embarrass you, why, I say; you would not hold that partner if you - could. (Cheers.) The Northern States, of America have undertaken a military enterprise of enormous difficulty. It is but fair, I think, that We should record oar sense of the vast and gigantic energies which they have unfolded in its prosecution.. They have had certain successes in the field. But here again I fall back on our English experience. Revert to the annals of the War of Independence between the American colonies and this country, and see where were the successes in the field. It was not for want of such successes that we did not conquer those colonies. It was because we found that when we had been successful in the field we were no nearer our object than before. (Cheers.) It is not the question—when you are endeavouring to conquer a country—whether you can brea2s up its embattled armies and drive them off the plain where they contended with you in fight. The question is this, and this alone—whether the heart of that country is set upon separation ? (Cheers.) If it is not set upon separation it may be conquered; but, if it is set upon separation, and if the blood of Washington and of the men of Virginia of his day still runs in the veins of those who inhabit the Southern States, then it is almost impossible that they nilitary object should be effected; and, even if it. were, the civil and political difficulties remaininr would render that military success itself a curse and a misery to those who had achieved it. (Cheers.) Well, gentlemen, we in this country arc in the habit of plain speaking; and, considering the nearness and intimacy of our relations with ell those who inhabit the North American continent,. it is well, I think, that we should test our minds in regard to the sentiments with which we view what you have well described as this "deplorable strug gle." May the Almighty disposer of all hearts bring that struggle quickly to an end ! For the sake of ourselves—for the sake, above all, of the Americans themselves—may that struggle quickly reach its termination! (Cheers.) May that take place, not which we wish or may prefer, but which is for the peace, the happiness, and the welfare of the inhabitants of that country, be they white or be they black! (Hear, Lear.) But, gentlemen, we also see the painful effects of this struggle upon ourselves—it is impossible to deny them—and not upon ourselves alone, but upon the other countries of Europe likewise. France is suffering, Belgium is suffering, every country that has a cotton manu facture is suffering—grievously, more grievously in proportion to the numbers employed than in this kingdom, because in those countries there is not the sense of independence, there is a greater dispo sition to lean on the Government for help than hap pily prevails among ourselves. But when we are told by any organ of American opinion that Europe or that England has behaved unhandsomely by America, I feel the utmost confidence that the final verdict of history will be this : That there never was an occasion in which the civilized nations in the world generally bore, and were content to bear, so much real misery resulting from a civil and municipal quarrel in another State without interference as there had been on the pre sent occasion. (Cheers.) If we look at the pain that is brought upon us, it is a grevious thought. In another point of view it is a remarkable testi" , mony to the real progress of civilising and peaceful ideas among the nations of the world. It is in homage to what is called an abstract principle that all this misery has been borne ;—it has sprung from a sense of the danger and mischief of interference in the intestine quarrels of other countries. And the deference that has been paid to that principle of international policy by England and by all the nations of Europe is, I say, among the remarkable features that determine the character of history a s applicable to the nineteenth century.

RAILWAY ACCIDENTS.—In railway annals every year might be distinguished by its special accidents. 1861 was th e year of the Clayton-tunnel and Kentish-torn col lisions, in. which 38 passengers lost their lives and 493 were injured. In that year 284 persons were killed on railways in the United Kingdom, and 883 injured; of passengers 79 were killed and 789 injured. Forty-six of these pas sengers lost their lives from causes wholly beyond their own control, 38 by the two most calamitous collisions be tween trains, 4 by trains getting off the rails, and 4 by breakage of axles, wheels, &c., or by their getting out of order. It ought to be a warning that 18 passengers were killed last year through getting out of, or attempfng to get into, trains in motion. Seventeen persons were killed while crossing at level crossings. Fifty .one tres passers lost their lives, and 128 servants of companies or contractors. A passenger was killed at a station by leaning against a carriage to speak to another passenger, and fa+l ing in consequence of the train moving on. In the last five years 252 passengers have been killed by railway accidents, 132 of them from causes beyond their own control. 2,689 passengers have been injured, also from causes beyond their own control ; but the passengers must have been 750 mil lion in number, perhaps more.

Yesterday a numerous meeting was held in the Town hall, Manchester, on the occasion of the pre• sentation of an address by the Chamber of Corn coerce to the Chancellor of the Exchequer. The Mayor of Manchester in the chair. Mr. GLADSTONE, in the course of his address, said,—Mr. Mayor and gentlemen, I now come to that which more particularly touches the state of your own district and community. We stand here at a time when, but for one unfortunate event, it is probable that you and your workpeoplo would alike be enjoying a great prosperity. That unfortunate event you have described, and I think truly de scribed, in your address, as " the deplorable struggle in which the two sections of the great American Republic are now engaged." It is, gentlemen, a deplorable struggle. We are not of those, if such there were, who envied the greatness of the Ameri can Republic. (Hear, hear.) We could have been well content to see her enlarge her borders from year to year, gradually increasing in her wealth and strength. We should have retained the consciousness that on our part nothing would be done to prevent the continuance of the most friendly and peaceful relations, and the admiration with which we regard the energy of that nation would have been totally un tinged either by envy or by fear. (Hear, hear.) But the struggle has come about through no fault of ours, and I think we cannot but feel that the po sition and attitude of this country with respect to the United States have not on the other side of the Atlantic been quite fairly or impartially judged. (Hear, hear.) Now, lam not going to make this a matter of complaint. Let us sympathise with our American brethren in their difficulties. Let us allow that under the excitement of those difficulties, and of so desperate and agonising conflict, the minds of men are not in that state of tranquillity which renders them the best judges of the conduct of their neighbours. In such circumstances the proportion of objects alters before the eye, and expectations are formed and thought to be just which in a dispassionate moment will be seen and felt to have been unfounded. Why, gen tlemen, there was a demand made upon us by the public voice in America at the outset of this deplor able struggle for what was called sympathy. What was the real meaning of that demand? And I hope that in what I say I shall not use a word inconsis tent with that fraternal feeling which I desire to cherish towards all men, and especially towards our kindred beyond the Atlantic. But, practically, the meaning of that desire and call for sympathy, as far as I understand it, was this,—that we should take such a course, by our language and by our public acts, as would place the 6,000,000 or the 10,000,000 of men of the South—l care not which estimate of their numbers you adopt—in permanent hostility with us. (Hear.) Now, we may have our own private opinions about the countenance that has been given to those institutions in the North. (Cheers.) But that is no reason why on the one side or the other we should pursue a course of con duct that is to lay the f iundation of alienation of feeling and permanent hostility between ourselvts and those who may hereafter be a great nation claiming to enter into peacefulrelations with us. (Cheers.) Why, no doubt, if we could see that this was a contest of slavery or freedom, there is not a man in this room—there is hardly, perhaps, a man in all England—who would for a moment hesitate as to the side he should take. Brit we hav e no faith in the propagation of free institutions at the point of the sword—(heai)—it is not by such means that the ends of freedom are to be gained. Free dom must be freely accepted.—freely embraced. You cannot invade a nation in order to convert its insti tutions from bad ones into good ones (cheers); and our friends in the North have, as we think, made a great mistake in supposing that they can bend all the horrors of this war to philanthropic ends. In deed, gentlemen, there are those among us who think—and I confess that I, for one, have shared the apprehension—that if in the course of the vicis- MISCELLANY.

Our object being merely to direct the attention of our City readers to the fact that they possess one of the best set of bathe, at 19, St martin's-le-Grand, which the country can produce; perfect in all Its appliances, and most admirable in effect.

SPORTING IN7ELLIG.EI THE ANNUAL GENERAL MEETING OF THE JOCKEY CLUB. The annual general meeting of the Jockey Club was held at the New Rooms, Newmarket, on Wednesday last. Pre sent—Admiral Roue, Lord Portsmouth, Lord Coventry, stewards ; Mr. Alexander, Mr. Batson, Count Batthyany, Duke of Beaufort, Mr. W. G. Craven, Sir H. Des Vceux, Mr. G. W. Fitzwilliam, Mr. Greville, Sir J. Hawley, Mr. Lowther, Mr. Payne, Lord W. Powlett, Lord Stamford, Lord Stradbroke, Lord Strathmore, Mr. Saville, Colonel Towneley, Lord Uxbridge, Lord Westmoreland, Lord Wil ton, and Lord Winchilsea. Admiral Rous in the chair. The accounts for the year having been presented, Admi ral Rous proposed that Mr. Saville should be appointed steward in his place. Mr. SAVILE declined. It was then moved by Mr. GREVILLE, and seconded by Lord WM. POWLETT, that Admiral Rous be requested to undertake the office again. Admiral Rous having now vacated the chair, it was taken by Lord Portsmouth, as senior steward, and Admiral Rous left the room: Sir JOSEPH HAWLEY objected to Mr. Greville's motion, on the ground that it was not in accordance with Rule 1 of the Jockey Club, and could not be carried without notice being given according to Rule 40. He therefore moved " that a regular notice should be given, and the question be decided by ballot in the First Spring Meeting." The motion was seconded by Lord WINCHILSEA, but loot on a division, six members voting for it and the rest against it. It was then proposed by Sir JOSEPH HAWLEY, " That Mr. Greville's motion should be decided by ballot ; but this VMS objected to as unusual, and the question having been put in the usual manner, Admiral Rous was re-elected by a large majority. It was unanimously resolved that the Puke of Beaufort be appointed a member of the Bentinck Fund Committee, in the place of Earl Zetland, who retires by rotation. The answer of Mr. Blake to the letter addressed to him in pursuance of the resolution passed on Thursday in the Houghton Meeting, 1861, relative to the Croagh Patrick case, was read to the meeting. In this answer, Mr. Blake, after stating his reasons for objecting to the matter being decided by the committee named by the Jockey Club, pro posed that the whole case be left to the decision of the three members of the club, viz., Lord Derby, Lerd Exeter, and Lord Zetland, by whose judgment he is willing to abide, whatever it may be. Resolved, " That a copy of Mr. Blake's letter be sent to each of the t hree noblemen metioned, with an urgent re quest, on the part of the Jockey Club, that they will under take the case." It was moved by Admiral Roes and seconded by Lord COVENTRY, " That the present Ru e 41, on the subject of starting, should be repealed and the following substituted." " 41. The starter has authority to order the jockeys to draw up in a line as far beyond the starting..post as he may think necessary ; and any jockey disobeying the orders of the starter, or taking any unfair advantage, may, on the complaint of the starter, be fined or suspended from riding, at the discretion of the stewards, according to the degree of the offence ; such snap( nsion not to exceed twelve months." Sir JOSEPH HAWLEY and other members objected to the proposed alteration, which was negatived on a division, the numbers being—for Admiral Rous' motion, 9; - a g ain; it, 10. On the recommendation of the Stewards, it was resolved to repeal that part of Rule 13 which relates to the entry of horses whose names have been changed, and to substitute the following :—" If the name of a horse which has run be changed, it is necessary, in entering the said horse, to give his old as well as his new name in every nomination until the change has been duly registered in the Book Calendar, and if his name be changed again all his names must be re peated for the like period ; but if a horse's name be changed before he has run in public it shall be sufficient to give his new name in the first entry made after such change." The question of compromises was postponed for future consideration. The resolutions of which Count Batthy any had given notice were carried ; but it was agreed that the wording of them should be further considered before they are published. Mr. ALEXANDER brought forward his motion relative to the starter. It was seconded by Lord STRATHMORE, and after some discussion was negatived, four members voting for and the rest egaist it. Adjourned. NEWMARKET CRAVEN MEETING}—THURSDAY. The morning broke hazily, but the interest taken in the expected appearance of Caller Ou in the Biennial and of Old Calabar in the Hundred sovereigns Sweepstakes caused an increased attendance on the Heath. In the morning the race which was to show forth the winner of last year's-St. Leger occupied the whole attention of speculators, although 13 stood on the card, and 10 were certain to produce con tests. At 12 o'clock the sun peeped out, and continued to shine the rest of the day. The great stake, with a percen tage for both second and third horses, stood first; and Caller Ou was easily beaten by The Roe, who had on Wednesday separated Asteroid and Ensign in the Derby trial, thus proving the opinion formed by his party, with regard to the last-named horse, to be substantially correct. A quick colt, from the French stable, won the Three-quarters of a Mile Sweepstakes very cleverly, and a most exciting race occurred in the Sale Stakes, the winner and the second touching each other as they passed the winning post. Old Calabar was reserved for the great event of the Spring meeting, and did not make his appearance with Costa and Lorelei. Some little betting took place on events to come, and is quoted below. Second Year of the Third Newmarket Biennial Stakes of 10 sous each, with 100 added, for 4-yr-olds ; colts Bst 71b, fillies Bst 31b ; certain winners extra, with maiden allowances ; the owner of the second horse to receive a sum equal to 10 per cent. on the whole stake, and the owner of -the third a sum equal to five per cent.

West End made play at a wretched pace, followed by Caller Ou, The Roe; Reveille, and Lupus, in which order they ran for the first half mile, when Caller Ou went to the front, with West End and the Roe in close attendance, the others lying up. On reaching the turn of the lands the leading horses drew away, and shortly after Lupus was ob served to drop back, having broken down, and was imme diately stopped. Caller Ou retained her lead to hallway up the hill, when she was beaten and headed by West End, who went on in advance into the cords, where the favourite caught him, and won by a length; a bad third; Reveille fourth.

The Quarterly Review. April. The county of Dorset, with its history, antiqui ties, agriculture, and dialect, forms the topic of the opening paper in this number, and some curious in _ formation is afforded on these points. Deriving its name from " Thorn-scetta" (the meaning of which is, it seems, obscure), the county has become notori ous in more recent times as the scene of Judge Jef frey's " bloody assize," eighty persons beip.g sen tenced to death in one day at Dorchester, and for the revelations concerning the condition of the Dorsetshire labourers in 1846. Since then, however, things seem to have changed for the better. Large tracts of waste lands and sheep downs have been broken up, machinery has been brought into use on all sides, and thoroughly good systems of farming have been naturalised, especially on the hill districts." The farmers of Dorset are said now to spend upwards of forty thousand a year on artificial manures, whilst better cottages for the labourers have been built and wages have risen; but one of the most remarkable Dorsetshire fea- tures is the dialect, which in the poems of Z. Barnes will preserve, when the original shall have been swept away by that foe to patois, " the schoolmaster." Mr. Barnes' poems, however, judging from the specimens given here, are not merely valuable as curiosities, but for their humour and pathos—they are heartily enjoyed, the writer says, by theDorset poor themselves, and are worthy a place in any poetic collection. " Hymnology; as a careful dissertation on sacred songs, Hebrew and Christian, is called, recognises the necessity for "an approved and authorised hymn-book," and the writer calls attention to the rich store of materials for which a selection may be made, remarks on the confusion of styles at present exist ing, and shows the absurdities and inconsistencies in many specimens in use. Thus " hymns," the writer says, "should be addressed to God," yet we find Bishop Heber's " Brightest and best of the sons of the morning," Pope's " Vital spark of heavenly flame !" Toplady's "Deathless principle arise !" &c., are received and approved by the pious, whilst, in other examples, we are offended by expressions of vulgar familiarity, or nauseated with " puerilities" and " prettyistns. ' Having commented on these defects, the writer turns to the Hebrew hymns, which he divides into three classes—" 1. The oc crizional piecce scattered up and down the Books of the Old Testament; 2. The authorised collection of the Jews themselves, known as the Psalms of David, gathered together, probably out of a vast number, of which the rest, being rejected as uninspired, have been lost; and 3. The hymns of the New Testament, the Magnificat, the Nunc Diminitus, and the Bene dictus." These are characterised by a complete system of rhythmical arrangement, guided not by sound, but by sense—thought answering to thought, and sentence to sentence, instead of line to line, and ending to ending." A feature which had been ad mirably preserved in our authorised version, and one which in any future revision will, we hope, re ceive special attention. Speaking of the metrical Psalms (Tate and Brady), the writer says But we cannot dismiss the metrical Psalms without calling them to account for the objectionable supremacy which the organ has established for itself over the choir and congregation : we are convinced that if the words of our old metrical Psalmody had been at all worthy of their sub ject, they would have coerced the music to adapt itself accordingly; and we should have been spared the incon gruity of the poorest and most prosaic, as well as the most bombastic lines of psalms and hymns being made a convey ance for such tunes as Cambridge New, Devizes, Ports m@uth, &c. ; if indeed such tu nes would ever have come into existence. Who could endure to hear and sing hymns, the meaning and force of which he really felt—set, as they frequently have been, to the melodies from the opera, and even worse, or massacred by the repetition of the end of each stanza, no matter whether or not the grammar and sense were consis tent with it F—not to mention the memorable cases of " —My poor pol— My poor pol— My poor polluted heart;' " —Our Great Sal— Our Great Salvation comes 1" Syriac hymns are next discussed, the literature of that country being very rich in these productions, and the language possessing peculiar interest, as being that of " the chosen people at the time of our Lord's appearing." Translations of seve ral specimens are given, which convey a very favourable idea of the quality of these works, the best of which were produced about the fourth cen tury. Of the Greek hymns most abundant in the eighth century, length is a striking feature, " The Great Mid-Lent Canon of St. Andrew of Crete," consisting of no fewer than 300 stanzas. The Latin Churches also possess a boundless store of hymns, but some of the most vigorous specimens are to be found among the Germans, whilst we rejoice in Sternhold and Hopkins and Tate and Brady. The writer thus concludes : But let the English Church appreciate her position in this matter—a position such as no Church ever held before for undertaking this work; let her lay the whole world under tribute ; let her rejoice in being able to take as she will of the soft utterances of Asia, and the deep teaching of the Greek odes, the terse diction and subdued fire of the Latins, and the bold energy of the Germans, and to weld them together with the fervent raptures of those at home who have wandered from her fold, and the chastened devo tion of her more dutiful children. It is a great work; it is a great opportunity; we cannot but long for its accomplish ment; yet we dread a failure. There is just so much already at hand as to tempt us into action; there is just that amount of half-preparedness to make us act in haste, and repent at leisure. There is a proverb—and we would write it over this subject —" Wait a little, and make an end the sooner." It is unbecoming the dignity and high cha racter cf our Church to be ever making and unmaking her formulas ; let her bishops and doctors then begin, if they will, at once, but with the determination to spare neither labour nor time, even if years pass away before they can with confidence lay before us a ' Hymnariura" worthy of our history and o ur l ang uage ; thoroughly consonant w ith the tone and teaching of our Prayer-book ; and such that the Church of our time may set to it her seal, and hand it down to posterity, a Kr/Am as ad to future genera tions, and a lasting monument of the present. Among the other articles we may mention one of extreme bitterness on that curious specimen of modern book-making, " Thornbury's Life of Tur ner," the errors, plagiarisms, and impertinences of which are dilated on with infinite gusto. In the " State and Prospects of Turkey," a somewhat hope ful view is taken of the change of affairs in that country; but the writer on the "Training of the Clergy" thus gives vent to gloomy forebodings : Failures of harvests, blights on the food of Ireland, em bargoes upon cotton, the want of crews to man our ships, and of soldiers to guard our coasts, the dearth of noble minds to elevate the mind of the nation, and of statesmen to guide its counsels—one loss, perhaps, in its possible re sults the saddest of all, of that domestic support and com fort so needed by a beloved and widowed. Queen in her deep anxieties —with all these various forms of national distress England of late years has been familiar. We are now warned, by voices not likely to be mistaken, of another approaching dearth and failure, and one mos t formidable, which assuredly requires our attention—a failure in the supply of our clergy. More than one Bishop has signalled the approaching dearth, and even without their practical experience no prophet is required to foretell it.
