TIrA.7.--Qtr,..* 0,-...-,.... - , The philosopher who awoke the "discussions, the laughter, and the ridicule of the eighteenth century" is met with in the "Historical Sketches of the Reign of George II," which are continued in Blackwood. The criticism of his career is most interesting, and seems to reproduce the man as he lived and acted on the stage of existence. Bishop Berkeley was one who might well challenge admiration, and even those who dissent from his views may find much to admire in his earnestness of character and kindliness of disposition. If his theories failed to impress mankind, and his efforts to convince others of the sound ness of his judgment seemed destined to awaken their ridicule instead of convincing their reason, still his life was not all in vain, and his works will long be remem bered. Hume observed of Bishop Berkeley that his "close and unbroken chain of reasoning admitted of no answer," and the exponents of the old philosophy seemed to shrink from the task of replying to arguments they declared to be unsound, and yet contented themselves in passing by with a sweeping censure, instead of stopping to analyse and confute. Some of Berkeley's observa tions are well worthy of notice, as, for instance, his remarks and speculations upon Ireland. Some of the questions in the " Querist " might puzzle the philosophers and politicians of the present day. " Whether," he asks, " my countrymen are not readier at finding excuses than remedies ?" and concludes by exclaiming, " Whose fault is it if poor Ireland still continues poor ?" It is here said, in summing up the chief points of the character of the idealist, that honesty reaching to magnanimity, and the generous sympathy which causes a man to be called Quixotic, were its distinguishing features, and such a man as Berkeley gives " vital form "to a generation. " Gain or loss ; the Statistics of the Campaign," is the title of the political article. It enters minutely into the details, and seeks to shew the significance of the gains and losses on both sides at the late elections. " Kinglake's History of the War in the Crimea" presents an opportunity for considering the chief events of that period, and it is truly said that the issue of the war was decided by the long-protracted defence of Sebastopol, for the strain of defending the place ruined Russia, and gave the victory eventually to France and England. TIIE CORNIIILL. The readers of the Cornhill will find a good deal of entertainment in the story entitled " That Boy of Norcott's." The adventure; of the young hero are out of the common in every respect. " Compara tive Mythology," is a suggestive article which puts before one the principle that underlies all mythology, and enumerates the different writers who from time to time have made inquiries and investi gations into the subject. This science, which is as yet but in its infancy, is declared to be im portant as regards its connection with the mental history of the human race. " Christmas Eve" is an appropriate selection for this season. It is a poem by Count Brasinski, paraphrased from the Polish by Mr. Robert Lytton, who prefaces it by an interesting sketch. This poem has hitherto been passed over by English critics, and yet it h as passages of great merit, and its descriptio ns are g i ven with considerable effect. Some exciting, advent ures are met with in the sketch " From a n I s l an d . " " On Relics Ecclesiastical" title of a p a p er th at may be commended to the is the notice of the student, for its interesting account of the noticeable legends and traditions that are connected with this sub ject. " Lettice Lisle "is a very pleasing tale, and the young heroine is in bright contrast to the rough characters around her. The descriptions of the scenery are admirably. done, and likely to be generally attractive. A great deal of mystery has attached itself to the institution of the " Yellin," in Germany, and hence it will not come to many to peru se th e d eta i ls here furnished of atrial trial and condemnation by th a t anc i ent tribunal. MACMILLAN. Dean Stanley contributes to Macmillan's Magazine a most admirable paper on the late Dean Milman. The living dean thinks the dead dean a model man. " His severe taste his. nicely-balanced judgment, his abundant ' his keen appreciation of the varied forms of knowledge,literary excellence, enabled him to keep always above, and at the same almost always in sympathy with the intellectual move ments of the age. Of no one else in his time would it have been possible that whilst regarded as an orac l e of grave learning an d l ofty speculation by ecclesiastics of almost e very party, he yet should, with man to e one fittingTuity, perfect congruity, have be en c h osen by Mr. Locker as th whom t o d e di cate the light and graceful charms of the `Lyra El egant i arum ;' or that he, as dea n o f th e cathe dral of th e metropolis, should, without o ff ence , have assisted at th e per f ormance of a play of hi s ow n at the Italian Theatre." In his usual felicitous manner Dean Stanley goes on to apply the text of his sermon to the present age. Dr. Milman was one of the most honest and industrious scholars that ever lived. He did not, as many men have done, consider that fame attained early in life was a reason why he should rest for the remainder. One great work was succeeded by another, each more laborious, each more splendid than the last. The learned ease of a Westminster canonry and of the St. Paul's deanery was used by hi m m erely as opportunities for harder and more substantial work. It is difficult to believe that this patriarch of literature, this divine whose histories are the text-books of schools, whose hymns are sung in Ritualist churches and Dissenting chapels, was once the best-abused man iu England. " Those who were but children at the time can remember the horror created in remote rural districts by a rumour that a book had appeared in which Abraham was described as a Sheykh.' In Oxford the book was denounced from the University pulpit. It is even said that more serious measures were p roposed. Condemnat i ons b y C onv ocation, prosecutions before the Court of Arches had, happily, not yet come into fashion. But so vast and deep was the suspicion and alarm excited by the work that it brought to a sudden and untimely end the interesting and useful , series of th e F am i ly Library of which it formed a part.' Milman not only lived but wrote down this senseless clamour, and whil e ma i nta i ning a calm and lofty silence in spite of fierce attacks he had the pleasure to see this foolish out cry die away, an d hi mself chosen by the very university which had proposed to censure him, to preach sermons on the subjects which had aroused donnish indignation, and in the v er y p u l p i t whence he had b een ana thematised. There is a lesson for us all here if we will only learn it. The interest of thi; article is increased " by extracts from th e f or th com i ng posthumous Annals of St. Paul's Cathedral," which Dean Stanley takes from the advanced sheets of the work. Of the other articles I must speak briefly . , though I could say much in praise. of Mr. Farrar's interesting and most clever parallel between philology and such sciences as geology and botany.

There is a moral for the young, in the sad fortunes of some of its heroes and heroines. Bella Verder's life was not what might have been expected from her brilliant youth, but her last days were peaceful, and the conclusion of the eventful story is satisfactory. " A Christmas Carol" is a pleasing sketch in verse of the chief events of the birth of Christ. "Earnest Words for Earnest Dien" is on the subject of the Gospel to the doubting, and puts truths before one in a simple and effective style. It is too much the habit in the present day to express doubts about everything, and the doubter at last finds himself a hero ; but this is nut the right meaning of Christ's Gospel. " Happy Bob's Christmas Treat " is a charming sketch, that raises the mem or i es o f th e good old days of fun and frolic, when Christmas was kept in a more hearty fashion than it is at present, and far, more universal merriment prevailed. Bob's entertainment was of an unpolished character, but the spirit of enjoyment was not wanting, and his young guests entered fully into the meaning of his teachings. It was altogether the sort of " treat" to dwell in the recollection when more staid and sober entertainments were forgotten, or recollected only as feasts in name and not in deed. " The Year" contains some warnings and encouragements to the young pilgrims on life's road, and they are earnestly advised to be firm and constant, to stay not on the march, but " press on, upwards, onwards, heavenwards, homewards." THE CONTEMPORARY. In the Contemporary Dean Alford moralises at some length on that excellent text—the meeting of the S.P.C.K. His description of that memorable scene contains some neat touches, but, perhaps, in this case, if there had been less description and more deduction the article would have gained. A dean's representation of the gathering at the Freemasons' Tavern must from the nature of things be a failure. The narrow escape of the Low Church party on that occasion is attributed to defective organisation. Whilst the supporters of the amendment were united'as one man, many of them, in fact, sacrificing their convic tione for what they es t eeme d th e goo d of thoir cause, the supporters of the committee were but a fraction of their party, for every one present there were a dozen left behind. The attack will certainly be renewed at no distant day, and the only hope of encountering it with safety lies in effective organisation. Dean Alford does not enter this month into his scheme of organisation, but he recommends a beginning in the way of reforming the organs of the party. Few will be inclined to question the necessity of this change. Taken in bulk, the ecclesiastical newspapers of the day are simply disgraceful. The paper on "La Lanterne' is very interesting. It consists wholly of a digest—extracts, with a few explanatory remarks—of the famous weekly pamphlet of M. Henri Rochefort. But as this paper was suppressed in France with such extraordinary rigour that hardly a complete set of num bers remains in the country, the opportunity of ascertain ing what M. Rochefort did say, and how he said it, is by no means valueless. These extracts form a decisive answer to the absurdly unjust criticisms of the Saturday Review. M. Rochefort hated his opponents with indiscriminating vehemence, and frequently sacrificed wisdom to wit ; but of the genius displayed in La Lanterne there can be no doubt whatever. The manner in which this journal was treated is a sufficient testimony to its merits. No other press prosecution, even of the Sec on d Empire, was so arbitrary and lawless. Next follows a series of fine articles on clerical and kindred subjects, of which "Au Irish Churchman's View of Irish Politics" is one of the best. Its merit is not a little owing to the fact that it contains a minimum of dissertation on the Irish Church, and a great deal that is interesting on other important Irish topics. The section on Education is particularly well deserving of notice, and the whole paper, I doubt not, will be read with pleasure in these days, when discussion on Irish politics is tinged rather with party spirit than with a desire to discover the truth. Dr. Hannah continues the discussion on the attitude of the clergy towards scientific investigation. Professor Plurntree contributes a fine article on " Marcus Aurelius and the Talmud;" and the Rev. Thomas Markby brings up the rear with some remarks on " Cholera," which would be more useful if their purpose were better defined, FOREIGN politics have retained most of their in terest during the past year. In Europe one reigning sovereign, Prince MICHAEL of SERVIA, has been assassinated, and another, the Queen of SPAIN, has abdicated. The first event has not exercised any apparent influence on continental politics. The second, as no less a person than Count BISMARCK has lately declared, saved Europe from a great war. But for this " accident " of the Spanish Revolution, as the Prussian Minister called it, war would have broken , out between France and Prussia in the autumn. The "Eastern Question," as the maintenance of the Turkish Empire is vaguely called, has once more passed out of the chronic into the acute stage, and a few days ago a conflict seemed all but inevitable. Even now the contingency is not wholly removed. The Great Powers have proposed the usual remedy of a Conference for settling the quarrel between the Courts of Athens and Constantinople. Turkey has ac ceded on the condition that the question which has given rise to the present dispute—the independence of Crete—be excluded from discussion. It is difficult to understand what purpose the Conference can serve THEATRE-ROYAL, HAYMA RKET . if this conditi on b e accepted.

This period of reaction has been long drawn out, and has continued long after there was any necessity ar ground f or di strust. The great collapse whi c h termi nated the p er i o d o f i nflation in IPGG left behind it a dis credit upon commercial circles which was not altogether without foundation, but which has been carried to an :mmoderate excess. The timidity which has characterised capitalists and investors during the past year is altogether is foolish as was the temerity of two or three years since. 1867 was a period of cheap money, but in 1868 money has ranged lower even than in 1867, and this must be regarded is the principal feature of the year from a financial point )f view.
