" What will He do with it 1" some remarkable events occur. The reader will be delighted to find that Sophy and her grandfather are reunited. By an adroit and skilful contrivance, which outrivalled the mimic representations of the stage on which he lied once triumphed, the comedian performed his part, and rescued the imprisoned child by night. We are left to suppose the joy of that meeting. The climax of Waife's skill is displayed when he meets Rugge face to face, and is unrecog nised by the latter. The subjoined remarks on the fate of the man of genius are eminently fitted to engage the attention 'on that often questioned but still inexplicable subject. " But how often does it happen to us, venerated readere, not to recognise a man of genius, even when he takes no particular pains to escape detection 1 A man of genius may bo for ten years our next door neighbour —be may dine in company with us twice a-week—his face may be as familiar to our eyes se our arm chair— his voice to our ears as the dick of our parlour clock —yet we are never more astonished than when all of a sudden, some bright day, it is discovered that our next door neighbour is—a man of genius. Did you ever hear tell of the life of a man of genius, but what there were numerous witnesses who deposed to the fact, that until, perfidious dissembler, he flared up and net the Thames on fire, they hid never seen anything in him—an odd creature, perhaps a good creature—probably a poor creature ;—but a Man of Genins I Toey would as soon have suspected him of being the Cham of Tartary 1 Nay, capdid readers, are there not some of you who refuse to the last to recognise the man of genius, till he has paid his penny to Charon, and his passport to immortality has been dilly examined by the custem-house offloers of Styx 1 When one-half the worlclldrag forth that same next door neighbour, place him on a pedestal, and have him cried, '0 yez I 0 yez I Found a man of genius 1 Publto property—open to ieapection I' does not the other half the world put on its spectacles, turn up its nose, and cry, ' That a man of genius, indeed I Pelt him I—pelt him I' Then of course there is a clatter, what the vulgar call a shindy,' round the pedestal. Squeezed by his believers, shied at by his scoffers, the poor man gets horribly mauled about, and drops from the perch in the midst of the row. Then they shovel him over, clap a great stone on his relics, wipe their foreheads, shake hands, compromise the dispute, the one half the world admitting that though he was a genius he was still an ordinary man ; the other half allowing, that though he was an ordinary man, he was still a genius. And so on to the next pedestal with its stet,' and the next great stone with its ' Hie jacet.' " Losely plays some dangerous games at this time, which, after a brief glimmer of success, seem to result in the darkness of failure. It is an amusing episode of the handsome widow, Mrs. Haughton, who is no match for that wily deceiver, who dodges her footsteps. Lionel's indignation against the new comer is natural ; it was not in his daring and impulsive spirit to brook coming into contact with such a man with impunity, and his horror was great at finding his mother so taken in by a specious flattery, and plausible appearances. Col. Morley's appearance on the scene was a terrible shock to Jasper; although he contrived after wards to recover from the attack, at first he was mortally stunxed. " The mere sight of the real fine gentleman made the mock fine gentleman shrink and collapse." " The Bells of Botreaux " is a legend well worthy of pe rusal. A few persons appear on the scene, whose characters are strongly marked, and the light and shade of whose dispositions are finely delineated. One or two of the scenes are almost dramatic in their powerful conception and vivid colouring. "At the mill-damhead, leaning over a railing, were two figures looking down into the little pool beneath, the valley was all alight with moonbeams, the cas cades flashed , with; silvery brightness, and the stare above had a fellow in the pool below. The rooks cast a dark shadow on them, and ever and anon behind them flitted a stealthy shade ; before them all was bright and clear." This brief passage explains the tale, the old story of love and jealousy, which has been re produced in so many forms and fashions, but which seems to renew its youth like the eagle, and to be ever fresh and vigorous to run a new race, and make or mar the fortunes of men. The interest is wound up to a pitch of painful excitement during the struggle between the rivals, and afterwards a sense of impending evil hangs ou the mind. These sensations are dispersed by the holy hour that in tervenes between the death stroke and d- ath. "Let us part in peace" exclaims he, who in self defence had struck the blow that sent his enemy to worlds beyond the reach of mortal foewn. The desire was accorded, " and so closed the Christmas day which had dawned so darkly." A pleasing article is that on " Beranger," which refers to his autobiography, recently published. It is said that without any great pretensions to eloquence, it pre sents us not only with an admirable portrait of the popular poet of France, but an extremely clear and simple picture of the memories of his rank and time." The writer concludes by observaig that Beranger died amid such popular expressions of re gard as no poet has yet attained in this country, and asks, "Is the fault with the people or the poet ?" " The First Bengal European Fusiliers in the Delhi Campaign," is au account taken on the spot in sp are momen t s , d ur i ng th e D e lhi cam paign. As m a y b e suppose d, it i s o f grea t interest, and brings b e f ore us a picture of the awful scenes that were enac t e d i n t h e E ast. Th e exac t d e tails of the strife and struggle, as they went on from day to day reveal, with a vivid reality, how hard won was the fight which resulted in the British army walking as conquerors through the streets of the city of the great Mogul. "The Scottish Universities" will be found to have boon treated with the attention the subject merits ; and further, the spirit with which the treatise is actuated is worthy of the magazine in which it has a place. While allowing the necessity for alteration and improvement, some of theproposed innovations aro objeoted to, especially the proposal to institute examinations " which would shut the door in the face of men who have laboured with their hands, and practised self-denial of the most austere kind, ii order to obtain the means of joining a univer sity." It is argued that the freedom of entrance peculiar to the Scottish Universities has been often of essential service to many an aspiring mind that has afterwards been the admiration of the world. "Livingstone, the African missionary, was enabled by such means to take that degree in medicine which was the foundation of his success." The German novel, " Debit and Credit," is criticised, and it is said that whatever rank it holds in Ger many, it can only take a second place among Eng lish novels ' • but that Germany, which possesses so many works of profound learning, is very inferior in novels. A. preface, by Chevalier Bunsen, con tains some very strange opinions concerning some English novelists. as well as at home, in the New World as well as in tit-, Old, Livingstone's name is already famans. From the poems which are here met with, we select the following verses : MARIANNE. A LITTLI ROSEBUD DAUGHTER. BY W. CHARLES RENT, AUTHOR OF " ALITHEIA." Sweet when on nay bosom leaning— Trembling out *be twilight atar Through thine eyes to trace the meaning Of those bely lights afar— Lights of heaven To earth given, Rolling, each, a Godwar(l car ! Sweeter when upon thy coming, Radiant gleam thy baby wiles— Royal trumpeting and drumming But mean websome to thy smiles — Joy so simple In each dimple That thy father's heart beguiles. Sweetest when eve round us creeping, While dreams lift thy soul above, On thy mother's breast thoiert sleeping Cradled in those arms of love— Arms resembling Neat-boughs, trembling When the night-wind lulls the dove. Rare as pearl-gleam to the diver, Buddings in thy vermeil mouth : Rarer than to honey-hiver, Dew-bells dripping sugary dronth— Thy gay laughter, Rarest after Rompings in the sunny south. Dear, when first thy sweet eyes pondering, Gazed and gazed in wondering awe, Hither, thither lightly wandering To whate'er those sweet eyes saw— Baby histories, Endless mysteries In the wavering of a straw. Dearer far thy lisping rattle, Babbling, babbling like a bird : Dearest when thine infant-prattle Drops some scarce articulate word Clipping often Names that soften Into quaintest sounds e'er heard. Fair, thy little dimpling fingers Dallying with thy bauble toys— Tiny hands, to us the bringers Of such wondrous worlds of joys : Fair thy flustered Tresses clustered 'Round calm brows no care alloys. Fairer thy pure mind expanding, As the water-rings enlarge Fairest, thy white soul, no branding Blot upon 't from marge to marge— Soul with vision Half Elysian, Fresh come from her Maker's charge. Sweetest, rarest, dearest, fairest, Bright-eyed little maiden elf ! What, ah ! what with thee comparest, What beyond thy fairy self ? Pleasure, treasure More in measure Than to worldling power or pelf ! What, ah I what with thee coniparest ? Toddling where the blowball rma— Sweetest, rarest, dearest, fairest ! Laughing where the blowball ran— Bless thy merry Cheek of cherry, 0, my little Marianne ! Frase►'s lliagazine.—The opening article for the new year is on an interesting subject, the life and writings of Henry Fielding. The writer proposes to fill up the deficiencies in Mr. Lawrence's work, and to give some more accurate and authentic de tails than can be found in his memoirs. While, therefore, the article is more useful to the inquirer, it is scarcely as interesting to the general reader as if it treated the subject in a mere literary style. Very probably we shall find this tone adopted in the second part, which is promised. We miss t'iia month the clever story of the " Interpreter," which, as the readers of _Fraser are aware, was con cluded with the year. The author of " Meg of Elibank" endeavours to fill its place by the com mencement of a story entitled " Lady Strathmore'a Daughter." The beginning is somewhat elaborate, but it promises to be interesting, and there are some pleasing and life-like figures introduced. The heroine is the daughter of the Countess of Strath more, who married her groom. "A Visit to the Chateaux of Rubens and Teniers" relates the im pressions made by a visit to Antwerp, and a pil grimage from thence to "Steen, formerly the cha teau of Rubens, and Drytoren, that of . Toolers, which lie to the left in passing from Mechlin to Brussels," as they are described in the Guide Books. A pleasant paper of " Tahle Talk on Shakspeare" analyses some of the peculiarities of " Love's Labour Lost." Woodpeckers and their habits are described at length in one of the Natural History papers that are usually met with. A review of Dr. Watson's work on the principles and practice of physic has some useful suggestions on medical profession and practice. A paper on " Northern Lights" passes in review a band of Scottish notabilities, and offers them some cordial encomiums and some sensible advice, by which it is to be hoped they will profit. The writer traces with a quiet humour the connection between the inclemency of the Edinburgh winter and the intolerance of its Calvinistic principles. Dr. Living stone's recent work, which has attracted so much attention, receives a lengthened notice, and those who are unable to procure the work itself may form some idea of the labours and sufferings of the ener getic missionary from this summary of his adven tures. "A Mad World, my Masters !" is the title of an artiele on sanitary reform, a reform, like all others, which seems to begin and end in talking about it. The writer, after censuring with justice the various classes of the community who might exert their influence in its favour, and do not, says that all systems of national education and moral ad vancement among the lower classes will be ineffi cacious until they are provided with the means of ventilation and cleanliness. "Prevention is better than cure, and the simple and one method of prevention is to give the work ing man his rights—water, air, light." Allowing for the enthusiasm of a raformer, there is much truth in this assertion, and it would be well if legislators and philanthropists were to act ac cordingly. The gnited Service.—The United Service Maga zine has articles on many subjects of interest. The topics it selects, the authority and experience with which they are generally written, and the great importance which is attached to the efficiency of our military and naval services in the present day, elevate it to a high rank among serials, and entitles it to the thoughtful consideration of the legislator and the reformer. Of course private feeling or in correct judgments will occasionally appear, but on the whole it is singularly moderate and free from prejudice ; ready to admit the necessity of reforms and improvements, and boldly attacking the sys tems of patronage and influence, but withstanding the rash plans of innovators, who think alteration must be improvement, and carefully considering how new theories will work in practice. The open ing paperis on the question, *low may the Army be made more Popular and Recruiting more Efficient?" The writer answers this by advocating a greater increase of comforts for the soldier in his daily life, some athletic exercises to be permitted as amuse ment, some improvements in his clothing, and some means of advance in life, solely from steady conduct. If any one, he says, will take the trouble to dress himself in an English soldier's uniform, in heavy marching order, he will solve the problem why we are worse marchers than the people of any other country ; and though some may deem the style and appearance of the uniform of little importance, " those who know the feelings of solders and the effect of a smart, well-made dress upon them, will think otherwise." Dublin. —The first subject met with in this num ber is the commencement of a new tale by Harry Lorrequer, , entitled "Gerald Fitzgerald, the Che valier." It promises well, and many readers will doubtless rejoice to meet again a favourite author. "The Partners," by Shirley Brooks, is continued, in three chapters. The story becomes more deve loped, and some curious revelations are made. Charles Aubrey finds himself involved in mystery, while his own secret is discovered, and Wenlock contrives to get himself into a lunatic asylum, from whence egress is another question. There will in all probability bs some striking scenes when the returned wanderer demands the restitu tion of his rights. An interesting article called The Earls of Kildare," contains some remarks on a work printed for private circulation by "the accomplished descendant of the Fitzgeralds, the Marquis of Kildare. After glancing at some of the most memorable or romantic details mentioned, the writer observes that few will rise from the perusal of the book without coinciding in the remark that the family of the Geraldines is so ancient that it seems to have no beginning, and so illustrious that it ought to have no 'end." " Buckle's History of Civilisation" calls forth some observations, which are made in a fair spirit, free from prejudice or flattery--it is said that the work is too elaborate, and that the author must beware lest he exhaust his strength too early in the undertaking. After enumerating the several points of importance, the critic explains, " It i s not without a feeling of en thusiasm that we contemplate this beginning of a national history of England. This leviathan of books appals us already. Like its namesake it is to be built up in compartments, and joined together. Will the same engineer, who has built the com partments, rise to join them together, and launch his leviathan history in one broadside into the river of Time ?" D ue praise is awarded to Mr. Atherstoned recant remarkable work, " The Handwriting on the Wall;" it is truly styled "not a romance, but a poem in prose." Those who have perused the book will agree with what is here said, 46 we thank hi m f or having given new life to characters and events so interesting, and for hav ing made us as familiar with the captive Jews and their Babylonian masters, as if we had even known them." " Our Foreign Courier" presents its quota of desirable information. It is probable that the paper devoted to " Livingstone's Missionary Travels will be perused with interest and attention. It is grati fying to find praise rendered to the living, instead of all acknowledgment being reserved for the time when the ear of the worker is closed to the sound, and his hand is for ever stayed from his labours. It is here said that in a favourable estimate of this great man tho.whole civilised world agrees. Abroad "One thing more remains to be done ; it is to open up by means of service in the ranks, something far batter than the well-conducted soldier has now to look forward to. If we want to extend the field for recruiting, and to give a higher character and tone to the army -this is the means, above all others, by which we may hope to accomplish it. What tilers is to prevent our acting upon it, but that exercise of patronage which resists the public good at every turn, it is hard to tell I How many of those appointments, even of those immediately conneoted with the army, and requiring above anything else, a knowledge of military details for the efficient discharge of the duties connected with them are filled by civilians, which even by simple right, putting policy;out of the question, ought to belong to the noncom missioned officer or soldier who has served well and faithfully ; and who has the requisite qualifi cation. There are some hundreds of these Go vernment appointments, which could not be more suitably bestowed than in this manner ; and which, if thus distributed, would give a healthy impetus to good conduct and education, about which we prate so much, ' and, to all practical purposes, do so little in the army. "The recruit who joins, if he has ever heard of the good conduct warrant, can but slowly understand the intricacies of its clauses. He comprehends no difference between the defaulter's book and another. If the matter is explained to him, it is soon made clear that as much depends on his commanding officer as upon his own efforts, to get good conduct piy and badges. If the latter is strict and severe, the task is, perhaps, hopeless ; if he is the reverse, it is, perhaps, too easy, and he laughs in his decorated sleeve, at the honours heaped upon him, which he knows have not been fairly earned. Give the:same man comforts in his barracks, such as have been faintly described, something which lifts him in his estimation above others in civil life ; and about which there is no sham or imposition. Let him hear , besides, that Jack Steele, who enlisted fro m hi s own town so many years before, is now by his good condu c t holding a Government employment, of s i x t y , a hundred pounds per annum—or it m a y be 1 eighty, or good deal more ; let him see and hear all this , and can it be that the soldier will not be a better man ? and that better men will not come from civil life and join the army ! Until we do something o f this kin d is it reasonable to expect that such men as the Tinted thunders at, will come forward and make shipwreck of everything they can possibly value, for the barren honours which now attach to the lot of private soldierF. The second series of Naval Reminiscences is given, and followed by some remarks relative to the mo bility and concentration of field artillery. The " Memoirs of Marshal Marmont" furnish the sub ject for an interesting paper.. The writer remarks that these memoirs are among the last we may look for from among the eminent men of the Napo leon era. Those of Prince Talleyrand being the only remarkable ones that we have to expect. A paper on a visit to the Celestial Empire, and the third chapter of a visit to the Tcherna-Morsky Cossacks, show us two very different countries, climates, and peoples. " The Monarchs of Delhi" is the title of a summary of the fortunes and mis fortunes of the recent Moguls. It is observed that though we regard with horror the barbarities in flicted on our countrymen, there are but too many parallels in the annals of the empire, the accession of each monarch being marked with the de struction of thousands of victims. The writer disapproves of the clemency shown to the recent pretender. Mr. Atkinson's valuable work on Oriental and Western Siberia receives a cordial notice, which is full of interest for those un acquainted with the work. The notes on Military Science are continued, and have reached the sixteenth lecture ; they are addressed to candidates for com missions. There are also papers on " The Bengal Mutiny," and " The Seats of Insurrection," and all the naval and military intelligence of the month. Bentley's Miscellany.—" Our Annual Disserta tion" takes a retrospect of the events of the past year and celebrates the majority of the Miscellany, which it attains in this number. The indefatigable Dudley Costello commences a new story and gives us five chapters in the first instalment. It is in his usual style, and not devoid of merit. " Into Spain" is the title of a paper on an excursion into the Peninsula, from Biarritz to San Sebastian. An article on the " Bheel tribe of Candeish" gives some particulars of that curious race. "Modern Ghosts" is a paper for the credulous, read by the Christmas fireside. " The Secret Witness" is of the same character, but teaches a useful lesson. It is translated from the Danish, and tells how, when two censorious young men were ridiculing and attacking their absent friend, a sight seer saw his figure standing beside them, sadly listening to their conversation. " A day with the Brookside Harriers at Brighton" has some pleasant sea-side gossip, and "An Autumn in Wales" contains an agreeable description of a German's impressions during a visit to the Cymrians. Monkshood continues his " Retrospective Re viewals" and criticises the life and works of St. Evremond. " Too much to Wear" is the continua tion of the story of the.Dalrymple family and is not without its moral. The young bride, Selina Dalrym ple, eomea on a visit to London with her husband, and becomes the fashionable beauty of the season. Having nothing particular to amuse her, she shares the mania for dress that has recently been raging, and at the end of the season receives a small bill from Madame Damereau for three thousand pounds. The way in which the extravagant fine lady is tempted, by the clever marehande des modes s irs well described. The tale leaves the unfortunate heroine overwhelmed with consternation at the re sult of her own imprudence, and not daring to tell her husband of the wilful extravagance that threat ens their ruin. The " Wife of an Architect "is brought to a conclusion. Colburn's .New Monthly. —A paper on "The Ben gal Army" is the first that presents itself to the reader in this month's number. It does not con tain anything very striking or original ; indeed, it would he difficult for an article on Indian ques tions to do so just now, but it is written with sense and moderation, and will repay perusal. " Home at last" is the conclusion of the story of "Susan Chase," which has been going on for the last two or three numbers. It is written in a pleasing style, and though the events are not very probale, it ends satisfactorily. Sir Nathaniel in his " Notes on Note-worthies," devotes himself to St. Simon, whose work has been familiarised to English readers through the intervention of Mr. St. John. The literary memoirs of " Cyrus Redding," an old contributor to this magazine, receive a cordial en comium. "The Wild Man of the Woods , " is the title of a scene from the wild and I twless life of the backwoods of Kansas. A paper on French writers on India gives us a view of the opinions of our con tinental neighbours on our Indian difficulties and prospects. A review of Mr. Atkinson's travels is interesting. Mrs. Bushhy continues her transla tion of a Swedish voyage round the world, and describes Java and Batavia very pleasantly. Lord Nermauby's work, on the " French Revolution of 1848," furnishes an interesting topic. Nicholas Michell contributes one of his elegant and thought ful poems on the past year ; and a :omewhat tedious article on "Parliament and Indian Retrospec tion " concludes the number. The English Cyclopedia.—The present number of this valuable wurk closes the biography. It has extended, as its readers are aware, beyond the limits originally fixed, but there are few who feel inclined to regret this, as it is now without doubt one of the most complete and accessible biographies in the language. As this is a kind of work which all classes of readers, the learned and the ignorant, are constantly in want of, its completeness and extent are very great recommendations. The in clusion of the names of living persons is a great advantage, as those who read the interesting me moirs of Sir Henry Havelock and David Living stone, in the present part, will readily acknowledge. From the latter we extract the following passage, as showing in a remarkable degree ►► the pursuit of knowledge under difficulties" : " Dr. Livingstone's great-grandfather was a native o the Highlands of Scotland, and fell at the battle of Culloden, fighting for the Stuart line of kings. His grandfather ',as a small farmer in TJlva, one of the Western Islands of Scotland, and there his father was born. Finding the farm iu Ulva insufficient for the support of a numerous family, the grandfather removed to the Blantyre Works, a large cotton manufactory on the Clyde, above Glasgow, where the sons received employment as clerks, and himself as a confidential messenger. The father brouizht up his children in con nection with the Kirk of Scotland, but afterwards left it, and during the last twenty years of his life held the office of deacon of an independent church in Hamilton. He died in February 1856, when his son had passed Zutnho on his journey to the eastern coast of Africa. " David Livingstone, when ten years of age, was placed in the cotton-factory as a piecer.' While in this situation, though the day's labour was from six o'clock in the morning till eight in the evening, he learned Latin, and at the age of sixteen was well acquainted with Horace, Virgil, and other classical authors. He also read with eagerness scientific works and books of travels, not only studying at night, but by placing his book on a portion of the spinning jenny, he could catch sentence after sentence as he passed at his work. In his r ine• teenth year he was promoted to the toil of cotton-spin ning, which, being then of a slender form, he felt very severe, but was well paid for. He had become desirous of going out to China as a medical missionary, and the remuneration which be received for his labour enabled him to support himself while attending medical and Greek classes in Glasgow in the winter, and the divinity lectures of Dr. Wardlaw in the summer. In due time he was admitted a Licentiate of the Faculty of Physi cians at Glasgow. Having joined the London Mis sionary Society, be was now qualified for a medical missionary in China, but the war with that country was then'in activity, and under the circumstances it was deemed better that he should go to South Africa, where Mr. Moffat had opened an inviting field for missionary labour. After a more extended theological training in England than he had enjoyed in Glasgow, he embarked for Africa in 1840, and in three months reached Cape Town. Going round to Algoa Bay, he proceeded thence to the interior, where he spent the following sixteen years of his life." - - The present number is also remarkable, as conclud ing three of the four divisions of The English, Cyclopcedia. The fourth, and perhaps the most in teresting, that ou Arts and Sciences, is to be defer- red for a few months, as the proprietors are desir ous it should contain all the great additions which have been made to scientific knowledge in the twelve years which have elapsed since the conclu sion of the Penny Cyclopedia, and, as many new articles will have to be added, and the old Ones altered and remodelled, it has been thought ad visable to delay its commencement, that it might b e issued with the sam e re g ularit y as its predecessors. We trust it will equal them in character, and form a worthy completio n to this valuable work The Art Journal.—Th e th ree l arge plates re present the disarming of Cupid, from the picture by Frost, the opening of New London Bridge, from Stanfield's painting, and a picture of a very grace ful ornamental group by J. Edwards. Among the literary content s , th e Edi tor ' s Book of the Thames is remarkable, and an interesting paper, by S. J. Mackie, F.G.S., on Sea Weeds, as objects of de sign, will well repay perusal. The attention of the reader is directed to the grace and beauty of their development while floating in the sea, and he sug gests their suitableness for ornamental patterns and designs. The name of William Linton ap pears in the gallery of British artists with nume rous wood-cuts of his chefs d'ceuvres, and a variety of artistio information will be found among the contents. MISCELLANEOUS MAGAZINES. Tait's Edinburgh Magazine has a paper on the recent session of Parliament, under the head of " The Nine Days' Wonder."

The size and arrangement of the • magazine unfor tunately give it the appearance of being of a heavy character, but such is not always the case. The pedigree of the famous Koh-i-noor will interest many. There are some interesting critical articles on modern literature.—Tita n is the somewhat sin gular name of a miscellany, which possesses a high character, and which numbers many able writers among its assistants.

It appears to be improving in its contents. The Mechan i cs' Magazine has its usual scientific and mechanical information, with articles on all recent events or improvements connected with mechanics. Among the illustrations are two that are espe cially interesting —one of Bright and De Ber gue's patent cables, the other of Pym's patent machinery for raising sunken vessels. We com mend this serial to alt scientific amateurs and prac tical mechanics. The serial stories of " Ask Mamma," by the author of " Soapey Sponge," and " Paved wish Gold," by Augustus Mayhew, are continued in their varying styles of comedy and melodrama.—A new candidate for popular favour has appeared in the first number of the " Gordian Knot," by the clever and successful author of "Aspen Court." It commences with great pro mise, and is already interesting.

The most violent resistance was offered by Kal lagher and others to his recapture, in the course of which Kallagher made use of a pocket handkerchief with a large, sharp atone tied up in it. With this he struck Morgan about the head and face so severely that, though the latter was able to appear at the Mamba Police-court on Monday last at the examination of Kallagher and some of his companions, he died on Saturday from con cussion of the brain. On Monday Kallagher was sen tenced to two months' imprisonment, but in consequence of the policeman's death he is to be again brought before the magistrate. Morgan was a fine young man, 25 years of age, and has left a widow and three children. OLD AND NEW.—Few thing a are more surprising than the revolutions of taste, and nothing can be more falla cious than the supposition that novelty in a lady's attire, for instance, is the offspring of the age we live in. Those who imagine that the mode of wearing the hair is not derived from a past period are grievously in error. The rolled character at the side of the head, the boo - pets, the pendants in lace, velvet, ribbon, and jewellery, were not unfamiliar to the age of Louis XlV.—to the Du Barrie, the Pompadours, and others, or to the beautiful consort of our own Ralph Neville, Earl of Northumber land. It is in modifying and adapting the fashions of the past that so much is achieved and so attractively, and it is in this way that those who go hand-in-hand with tlae Parisians furnish suoh convincing examples of s uperior taste. It is especially curious to remark how ni can be adapted for mourning wear in bklisoba a nd w hite, can and headdresses which are adorned with . prennaticcelcoriutera and those in white only for s trees are furs shed Messrs.
