Our beloved and venerable Maga still retains its accustomed predominance in the world of periodical literature—and no wonder, with its corps of brilliant and illustrious contributors. Occasionally embellished with one of the masterly essays of Sir Archibald Alison, and sometimes also with a vigorous paper from the pen of Mr. Warren, the Queen's Counsel, Blackwood is repeatedly adorned with the searching and eloquent criticisms of Professor Wilson, and—best of all, during the two years last past—with instalments of that exquisite fiction, through which Sir Bulwer Lytton is still industriously revealing the scope and vivacity of his genius as a novelist, at the very period when his ambition as a politician must be revived, by his recent return as one of the representatives o f Hertfordshire. No wonder then, say we, that with writers of such allowed capacity, the chief among the magazines continues to sustain its reputation ! A. delightful review of Cockburn's " Life of Jeffrey," opens the number of Black:y.old for September. The first sentence affords a sufficiently agreeable inkling of the drift of the proposed argument. "It is well," saith the writer, " for this biography of Francis Jeffrey, that the late cele brated critic cannot possibly review it himself "—a remark as complimentary to the departed as it is severe upon his biographer. And assuredly the justice of the observation is well substantiated by the extracts given from this eccentric effort in author ship by one of the judges of the Court of Sessions of Scotland. The review (being beaded " Part I.") promises to swell into a supplementary celebration of the great critic of the Edinburgh. A third instal ment of "Katie Stewart" proves that the writer is admirably qualified to produce a story of Scottish life, yielding, as it does, many graceful delineations of scenery and ingenious portraitures of character. Colonel Mundy's work about the resources and aspect of " Our Antipodes" is commented upon in the sub sequent contribution—in the course of which the reviewer contrives to give an amusing account of the result of "Residence and Rambles in Australia." A Country Minister, in the course of a brief but highly intelligent communication to the editor, points out a variety of errors, which he at the same time conceives to be evidently inadvertent, in the course of the " Fourth Volume of Chalmers' Bio graphy." Thereupon we have another portion of the latest and in many respects the noblest " Novel" that has yet proceeded from the hand of Sir Balwer Lyt ton—the instalment before us (which is the twenty fourth) comprising the eight first chapters in the Twelfth Book—the " Varieties in English Life" having extended the domestic narrative by Pisistra tus Caxton to epic dimensions. Notwithstanding his decision announced some months back to the con- trary, the author has here reverted lovingly to his original intention, introducing the Family of the Cax tons once again to the reader—seen, as it were, through the lattice of an " initial chapter." The story at this moment evidently hastening to its conclusion, we must refrain from entering minutely into the consideration of its numerous, and many of them re splendent, merits. When the tale is told in full, we shall be enabled to estimate more judiciously the po sition it must eventually assume among the diversified productions of that creative and comprehensive intel lect to which the world is already indebted for the effervescent wit of " Pelham," for the home born tenderness of the " Caxton®," and for the humanizing philosophy of" Maltravers." Of one thing we are convinced, in regard to this remarkable novel descriptive of life and manners in England, that —upon its completion—it must be rechristened. As it is, the title is unworthy of the work, being loose and indefinite. Afterwards comes the political article of the month, referring to " The Premier's Present Position "—an article which we have consi dered in our leading columns of this evening in what we cannot but deliberately view as terms of deser vedly severe condemnation. After a noble and re sounding March, written for music by William Ed mondatoun Aytoun (another of Maga's gifted contri butors), " The March of the Crusaders "—closing each sianaa with a superb refrain, as thus— " Strong, strong—mite the song! Raise it the hills among; Raise it till the Moslem hear— Sound, sound, trump and drum! Let them know we come— Cross and banner, sword and snear!"-- our hearts are rejoiced with another magnificent series of criticisms on the poetry of Milton—the finest tribute that has perhaps ever yet been offered to the genius of Milton—by the master-band of rare old Christophee'North, writing as usual under the now familiar and already popular title of Dies Boreales. And suchis Blackwood for September ! NEW MONTHLY. Under the title of " Woodthorpe," Kelly Kenyon gives a really interesting description of one of the re miniscences of a physician. " Mrs. Trollope, " who is here criticised as the fifth in the series of " Female Novelists," is grotesquely entitled by th e rev iewe r " a blue-stocking who travels in se ven -l eague d b oo t s ," and who by that propensity fairly runs out of breath the whole race of critics and criticasters. Satire is pointed out as the characteristic of our authoress— who is satirical, however, according to the writer's notion, is a " hard, pointed, persevering" manner—her sarcasms showing little akin to the " graceful raillery" of Mrs. Gore, or to the " good natured irony" of Mr. Thackeray. Keats long since gave to the world his deli c i ous poem of " The Eve of St. Agnes." Mrs. Acton Tindal has now, through the pages of the New Monthly, sung in rhymes " The Eve of All Saints." 'These rhymes, however, aro nothing better than p re tt y and melodious. A grand problem i n moder n hi story i s considered under the inquiry, " Was Wallenstein guilty '?" Although the argument is somewhat ing eniously condensed, we can no t b u t regard the question as one, from its magnitud e , more appropriate for a substan tial volume than for a hasty magazine contribution. Upon the shoulders of J. E. C arpenter the mantle of T. H. Bayly fell long ago—another proof of which is given in the graceful little lyric "I'm thinking of the Past," adorning the fifty-seventh paKe of the ninety-sixth volume of the New .MontlV Mrs. Bushby translates from the Swedish, in the current number of the same magazine, "The Ancestress" of the late Baroness Knorring. Jolly Green we suspect is the gentleman who tell s us " How Jeremiah Tubbs became engaged in the I r i s h Elections of 1852 "—a narrative reading marvellously like one from the hand of Poole, but still more like one from the hand of Costello. Besides som e chap ters about " The Rovings o f the R ipple" we have one paper on " Digging for Gold " another on " Queen Victoria's Channel," and a further continuation of " Young Tom Hall's Heart-aches and Horses." Best of all the contributions in the September num ber of the New Monthly, however, is the last--a heart born and touching tribute to the lamented "glass of fashion and mould of form," the gifted Comte D'Orsay. It is evidently the generous e ff us i on at once of friendship and admiration. FRASER. The first article in the current number of Fraser —being a comprehensive criticism headed " Recent Travels".—is a very readable and entertaining sort of Omnium Gatherum. It introduces the reader to countries of the most diversified character : through the work of Mr. Brace to Hungary—through that of Mr. Laing to Schleswig—through that of Mr. Hamilton to Denmark—through those of Mr. Fortune and Sir John Davis to China— to the Court of Nepaul under the guidance of the Hon. Captain Egerton —to the Arctic regions by the aid of Lieutenant Osborn and Sir John Richard son—through the work of Mr. Bowen into Thessaly —through that of Captain Mackinnon to America and the Americans —through that of Mr. Shortland to New Zealand —and through that of Colonel Mundy to Australia. Surely those are wan derings enough for " once in a way," without the necessity of vacating our easy-chair for a steam-boat, or of kicking off our slippers and donning the seven-leagued boots of giantland ! The article, although of course very cursory in its allusions, will be found both interesting and instruc tive. An absolutely delicious chapter follows about "Mullets and Mullomaniacs." It savours in every sentence of the bon vivant. It is enough to make an epicure out of an anchorite. The reader's mouth waters involuntarily for a taste of the " woodcock of the sea" as he gloats over this pleasant chapter in regard to his favourite refection sprinkled with the daintiest sc raps from Pope and Juvenal. The Rev. Ch a rles Kingsley continues his " Hypatia " which a lth o ugh entitled " New Foes with an old Face," will prove an old friend with a new face to his admirers. The last " Musical Season," or rather the present one, now on the eve of its conclusion, is reviewed very judiciously—the writer rather depreciating the value of M. Jullien's stormy lyric drama of Pietro it Grande. M. Chamfort is reviewed (we might almost say " somewhat humanely ") as among the list of " Neglected French Authors." Captain Digby Grand attains the dignity of a twentieth chap ter i n hi s li ve l y an d entertaining " Auto biography." After an elaborate paper expressive of certain " Ethical Doubts concerning Beineke Fuchs" come s ; and after of the " Sketches of Rome under the Pope and t h e Republic, " from the h ue d o f an eye v after a couple of articlee, one relating to the N ew O rphan House at Bristol, and t h e ot h er to the "Presidential Election" for America, Fraser elo , es with a very entitled " The Pe rso n nel ab o l t e the P° n l e it w i"l Parl c i oaninternibt.u”tion, J 3 ENTLE Y. An excellent memoir of Lord Langdale—accom ipanied by an engraved likeness from the chiaracter stic drawing, by George Richmond—opens the Sep tember number of Bentley's Miscellany. A most horrid little impish attempt at wit disgraces the 280th page, LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING-, SEPTEMBER 1, /852 and is entitled pretentiously " A .Cornish Capitalist's - Hint for an Exchange"—a rather large heading fur just four lines of doggrel, the head of a Mon ster on the legs of a Mannikin! " The Life of an Architect" is continued with further gabblings by way of literary, theatrical, and artistic reminis cences. "A. Family Trip to the Seaside" is ap propriate to the season, when the Smiths and the Jeneses are dabbling systematically in the vicinage of bathing machines. A long contribution, and one which will be universally accepted, by those who read it, as a novelty, is the one headed " The Saddlebags." Another describes the " Memoirs of a Man of the World." Another reviews the writing of Madame Dunoyer as among the "Popu lar French Authoresses" of the last century. Besides the foregoing, the Miscellany comprises a variety of good-natured notices of books recently published. Hardman's translation of Edward Jermann's ' of turei from Sr. Petersburgh." As another , cluster I Traveller's Library, comprises the whole oflred , e p ri i c e l . c j Grimm's Household Stories we have " The .. Soaring character. The new number of The Charm, besides a profusion of woodcuts, contains a merry description I Lark," and other quaint productions of a similar of " Home for the Holidays."

Th e L a di es ' Companion would be interesting for the present month if its only attraction were the portrait of M a ry H ow i tt, but, in addition to this illustration, the monthly magazine of the fair sex is rendered remarkable by a story f rom F rances Br own , by some ver ses f rom Mrs. Abdy, and by another chapter on "G e r man L egendary Lore, " from the pen of Mrs. T. K. llervey. As ever , t h e Ch urc h of England M agaz i ne is crowded with e ff us i ons appro priate to this class of periodicals. Perhaps the most re markable, as it is certainly the most interesting, paper in the Eclectic Review, just issued, is the criticism headed" Th e A rct i c Robinson." Charles Knight's mag nificent Imperial Cyclopwdia has this month reached, under the subdivision of " The B r i t i s h E mp i re ," th e description of " P arsonstown. " The engraving pre xed to the instalment before us represents, within the limits of a single plate, m ost o f th e noblest public buildings in London —an illustration singu larly appropriate to the work under notice, which in every essential respect rises to the di gn it y o f a na tional enterprise. U n d er i ts new editorship, that of the accomplished M rs . S . c. Hall, Sharp e i s London Magazine is already extending and strengthening its reputation. A better number of the periodical, and this is the "eighty-third" according to the old series, has not before appeared than the one o the fame of being here issued for the month of Septetnbe.

The report set f o rth th a t, a lth ough the society was a one,new in their branch various boards, localities, Manchester, Bi rm i ng h am , Sh e ffi e ld , Hull, a n d the Isle A nf n arrangement Man, thatandhad others further are been in course made with in stitution of a kindred nature, entitled the Ath eimum Institute, and by this junction of interests with that large and powerful class, the members of the literary and newspaper press, beneficial results to the society were anticipated. The balance sheet of the society showed its capital to be 18,5154 and the amount re. ceived for premiums to be 4,4191. The disbursements were 2,5851. in preliminary expenses, an d the com pany's capital now consisted of 5,02 0 1 . i nvested in se curities, 8,056/. at the banker's, an d a b out 1,4001. in the hands of the manager a n d th e society's agents. During the first nine months policies had been issued that yielded 4,4191. in premiums. The total number of policies was 322. Not a single claim had yet come against the office—a strong proof of the vigilance of the directors, and of the care of the medical officers. The expenses of founding the society had been paid for, and the directors had every confidence in the so ciety's success. The CHAIRMAN expressed his entire satisf ac ti on with the progre ss of th e soc iety, in w hich e xpress i on Mr. ALEXAN DER RI CHMOND , as a director and large shareholder, said he fully concurred. Mr. JAMES ANDREW DURHAM said he looked to the fact of the society not being encumbered with an excess of capital, but having a respectable propriety to look to in case of necessity, as one of th e must contribute greatly t o it s success. lie believed the company bad b een es t a bli s h e d on the right basis, and that it would succee d. means that On the motion of Mr. HARRIS, a dividend of 5 per cent. upon the subscribed capital, clear of income tax, was carried unanimously, after an expression of opinion that the rate of per -tentage had been agreed upon with a view to permanency, and that if one year only had been taken into consideration, the dividend might have been at the rate of 25 per cent. per annum. Mr. CRIBB, in proposing a vote of thanks to the auditors, took occasion to animadvert upon the conduct of the press in commenting upon the position of life assurance companies. His remarks were deprecated by Mr. EDWARD BROOKS, as a memb er o f the society, and one who was not desirous that the Athenaeum Society should take up the cudgels f or th e younger life offices. Mr. MITCHELL said that, see i ng Mr. Tomline's name connected with th e society, he had, every confidence in its managem en t . It was his fi rm per suasion that the society w ou ld confer a great benefit upon literary men, and th a t t h e Athenaeum Institute would prove to it a valuabl e appendage. Mr. TOMLINE adverted t o t h ree recent instances o f men of g e ni us w ho had di e d suddenly and left their families a l mos t w h o ll y unprovided for. He (Mr. Tomline) was secre t ar y t o the Shaksp erian Society' and as such, mee ti ng i n conversation with the Lord- Justice Knight Bruce, that l earned authority had remarked to hi m —" H ow i s i t that we find men of literature and g en i us , w h o can write essays that are the admiration o f th e i r country, thus making no pro vision for their families ? If you can point out to me a way in which it cou ld b e done, it should have my best support." Ho (Mr. Tomline) had s aid that it could only be done by means of a self-supporting in stitution like the pres en t. Any mere eleemosynary irstitution would wh o ll y f ail. It was his duty to state that Mr. Disraeli, although so muc h occup . ied , in affairs of State, had take n so warm an interest to the prosperity of their institute that he had called twice, personally to express his int erest in its progress, and . his desire to render it any good offices in his Por e " Sir G. Staunton and the Marquis of Bristol had shut' larly tendered their good offices. Mr. SUTTON and other gentl emen hav i ng expressed their favourable opinions of the p rogress of t h e so ciety, and all the customary resoluti ons h aving been unsot mously adopted, the meeting terminated with a vote of thanks to the Reverend Chairman.

Those (among th e c l ergy ) printed i n italics signify mem bers n o t h eretofore elected; and those with an asterisk denote members who are understood to have pledged th emselves to the support of synodical acti▪ on. But we must observe-1. That many of those not marked with an asterisk are favourable to the reviv▪ al of Convocation. 2. That in the instances where the number of proctors has been unusually reduced by re election, it is impossible to specify who are, strictly speaking, new members of Convocation, as the names of those erased by the Bishop do not appear on the roll of the last Synod. We have not attempted a classification of the bishops.—Chrwiicle. A LIST OF THE BISHOPS AND CLERGY OF THE PROVINCE OF CANTERBURY CITED TO APPEAR IN CONVOCATION, 1852. THE UPPER HOUSE.

DERBY, TIIESDAY.—The arrangements of the Mid and Railway Company for the safe conduct of her Majesty and the Royal Family have been admirable. The time-table of the royal train made her Majesty due at Derby last evening at 6.10, but the train ar rived at the station punctually at 6, amid the cheers and waving of handkerchiefs of a large assemblage of ladies and gentlemen. The Mayor of the borough, Mr. J. Dunnicliff, who wore his gold chain of office, the Recorder of the borough, his Grace the Duke of Devonshire, Lord High Steward of the corporation ; the Earl of Burlington, Lord Cavendish, General Arbuthnot, Captain Jones, Captain Kirkland, the members of the Town Council, Mr. Lewis, Mr. Holdsworth, and Mr. Longsdon (directors), and Mr. Fox Bell (secretary), were in attendance to receive her Majesty. Lord Malmesbury introduced the Mayor to the Queen, who bowed repeatedly, and then received from the handsof the Mayor a loyal address voted by the corporation. On alighting her Majesty and the Prince recognised the Duke of Devonshire, and gave his Grace a most gracious reception. The band of the 77th from IVeedon barracks (two companies of which regimenl attended as a Guard of Honour) struck up the na tional anthem, and the scene was altogether an ani mated one. At the entrance to the station open car riages were in waiting to convey the Royal Family to the Midland Hotel, which is situated in the large open space near to the station. The ground was kept clear by a troop of the Bth Hussars from Nottingham barracks, under the command of Captain Lockwood ; the Derby and Chaddesden troops of Yeomanry, un der the command of Captain Wilmot, and the Rad bourne troop under the command of Captain Pole. The enrolled pensioners, under the command of Cap tain Jones, were placed within the station ; and the militia staff, under the command of Captain Dixon, were in front of the Midland Hotel. Oa her Majesty making her appearance in front of the station she was received with tremendous cheers by the populace be hind the barriers, and on alighting at the Midland Hotel the cheers were renewed. A suite of rooms at this hotel were most superbly , fitted up by Messrs. Woollatt and Co., upholster ers, for the accommodation of her .Majesty and her royal Consort. At eight o'clock a sumptuous dinner was served, the plate for which was of the most elegant description, rem the establishment of Messrs. Collis and Co., of Birmingham. The dinner party consisted of the Queen and Prince Albert, the Duke of Devonshire, the Earl of Malmesbury, Ge• neral Arbuth no t, th e Countess of Desert, the Hon. Miss Seymour, Colonel Phipps, the Hon. Colonel Gordon, and Sir James Clark. Before dinner the Prince visited the coach manufactory of the Messrs. Holmes, and, had time permitted, would have visited the Arboretum. At nine o'clock this morning, punctual to the mi • nute, the Queen arrived on the platform at the rail way station, and was received with the same demon strations of enthusiasm as greeted her arrival last evening. Her Majesty and the Prince took leave of the Duke of Devonshire, and then the train started amid loud cheers. A cheer was then given for the Duke of Devonshire. The engine wes driven by Mr. Kirtley, superintendent of the locomotive department. Mr. Sanders (general manager), and Mr. Mills (superintendent of the locomotive department) accompanied the royal party, as also did Mr. Lewis and other directors. It passed Chesterfield at 9 32 , E c ki ngton a t 9 40, Marlborough at 9 58, and arrived at Norinanton at 10 35. The Queen was greeted as she passed the several stations with loud cheers, and on the Midland directors taking their departure at Normanton, her M ,jesty was pleased to acknowledge the excellence of the arrange ments, and to express her satisfaction with the re gulations at Derby, and the accommodation she had received. DARLINGTON. The royal train reached Darlington at a quarter past twelve. Arrangements had been made by the magistracy of the district (and their clerk, Mr. J. S. Peacock), in whose bands the charge of the station was placed, for the admission of the public to the platform, which was well filled. A portion of the platform was railed off, which was reserved for the magistrates, clergy, and the elite of the inhabitants. There was a very large number of persons con gregated outside the station, along the sid es o f the railway, who enthusiastically cheered the Queen as the train entered the station. A body o f th e in e Durham county police were placed at th e stat i on, but the loyal and respectful demea nour of th people called for no restraint. The engine took water and the train departed, after ft stoppa ge about five minutes. A basket of f ru i t from the gar dens of the Duke of Northumberland at Stanwick Park, was presented to th e Q ueen ; as was also a beautiful bouquet from th e Grange nursery gar d ens of Mr. Harrison, the latter being Mr. Henry Pea se , rn of Pierreont present e d brought ment was felt at the train sto • that the royal carriage Some disappoint aced opposite the unre served portion of the platfo r m the privilege of entree to so that those who bad was placed in such a position the reserved part could not see the Queen, except passed.

York AINSWORTH. Another chapter of the reprint of " The Lanca shire Witches," from the pen of the editor, opens the number of Ainsworth for September. Among the poetical contributors to the magazine two have ren dered themselves conspicuous, "E. E. M. K." and " Nicholas Michell"—the latter by some touching verses on " The Death of Wolfe," and the former by some yet more pathetic verses on " The Early Dead." One expression in Mr. Michell's contribution we like not—that of " warmed pity drops a tear"—rather too matter-of-fact a method of telling us that the heart of Pity was " melted." The companion poem by " E. E. M. K." runs as follows : " 0 life in youth, fair offspring cf the sky! Almost we geze and dream such should not die. Stoop hoary age! aye, stoop, thy doom is known; The grave awaits thee, earth but seeks her own . ; No gentle love, no tender pity may Thy fated footstep on the journey stay ; Swiftly for thee the harvest reaper nears, Death claims the ripeness of thy mortal years, But youth, glad youth! not thus we part with thee ! Hope's holy rainbow spans thy destiny. Albeit the roses from thy soft cheek fade, Albeit the shadow on thy brow be laid, 'Tis but the mist that shrouds the mountain's crown, 'Tis but the shower that weighs the blossom down. When o'er the roses of our Mayday spring Swept the chill winter with despoiling wing ? When, 'mid the blushes of the early morn, Of sultry day, was sudden midnight born ? When the green wheat with harvest sickles fell'd ? The flower-drankt fill in icy bondage held ? Yet ah to oft, vvhile'summer blooms around, Death's wintry frost-work at our hearth is found ; The same false breeze that rocks a ruffled flower, Oft blights our Irautiful in youth's strong hour; The same false ray that tints the bud with bloom, May crowd our hearth with shadows of the tomb. Not so with us as with the bearded grain, One measured sum of heat, of light, of rain; Not so with us as with the vintage fruits, The ruddy ripeness mounting from the roots, One fated aspect for the final breath, One certain season for the certain death. Heaven's laws are wonders to our mortal ken-- ' Be ready always, for ye know not when.' 'Tis not the surface that our fate bespeaks, Ripeness may lie in infant eyes and cheeks; Celestial hands, that gather for the skies, Wait not the coming of autumnal dyes, But oft will garner from the budding spring Sweet fruit and riper than late seasons bring; For, ab, alas! with man, the boon of time May breed a poison o'er his manhood's prime; • Time,' that perfection to earth's produce brings, May steal the glory from an angel's wings." Besides these effusions, the magazine contains a variety of prose articles, 'nog of them amusing, and one, " The Haunted Well," very attractive in character. TAIT. The foreign relations of England almost entirely monopolize the attention of Tait for September. First of all, in the additional instalment of the series of papers relating to " The Governments of Continental Europe," Russia is shown to have advanced during the last hundred and fifty years to a degree of power and magnitude by no means justifying the contemptuous phrases of Mr. Cobden. Since the accession of Peter I. in 1689, the number of inhabi tants has increased from 15,000,000 at that early period to 58,000,000 on the death (in 1825) of Alex ander. Then, under the suggestive title of " Lord Palmerston, Austria and Italy," another writ er g i ves his views i n re f eren ce to th e political prospects of the Roman peninsula. Mr. Macgregor's remarkable letter to th e P r i m e Minister in regard to the " thited States and the British American Fisheries" is reprinted elsewhere in the ma gazine. Added to these somewhat important papers, Tait comprises a number of lighter articles— one a description of " A Day with a Lion," and ano ther furnishing additional particulars in reference to " The Loves of an Apothecary." Several of the criticisms on recent works—according to the wont of the magazine under consideration—are searching and impartial, besides being copiously illustrated by well-chosen quotations. DUBLIN UNIVERSITY. The much-vexed question of the nationality of poor Tyrone Power is set at rest in a biographical notice of that lamented ornament of the stage, com menced in the present number, by one who knew him long and well—the late manager of the Dublin Theatre, a writer well known to the readers of this excellent periodical by his interesting contributions, " Leaves from the Portfolio of a Manager." Ac cording to this authentic authority, " William Grattan Tyrone Power was born near Kilaiacthomas, in the county of Waterford, on the 2d of November, 1797 a soil favourable to the growth of theatrical geni us ; the same county having given birth, at an earlier and a later period, to Dorothea Jordan and Charles Kean." Power passed his childhood, after twelvemonths old, with his widowed mother at Cardiff, in Wales, where there was " a gentlemen of the name of Bird, dis tantly connected with the family through his wife-- a person of high respectability, who conjoined the triple avocations of bookseller, publisher, and post master. The intimacy with Bird gave rise to an erroneous report, propagated after wards with all the activity of malice, that Power was born a Welshman, and b roug ht u p as fi printer—two facts highly ho nourable in themselves, and which an independent spirit, such as he possessed, would never have shrunk from acknowledging if they had been true:' Details are then given of his early uphill theatrical career, and his African expedition, till we leave him, at the age of twenty-four, compelled to fall back on the stage, " still without the slightest inclination for the line of acting in which he was soon to distance all compe titors, and with no perception whatever of bis own peculiar strength." " Sir Jasper Carew" and " Clough Fl om] ; or, t h e S tone o f Destiny" are con tinued, and ar ti c l es are d evo t e d to the autobiographi es of Jerd an and Miss Mitford, an d t o "H anna ' s Li fe of Ch a l mers, " continued from the July number.

Th e wr it er ' s panacea for I re l an d is—to Protestautise her. More easily said than done ! E NGLISHMAN'S. No. 11. There is an article in this newly-launched periodi cal well worth reading, which treats of " Newspaper Literature' It controverts some of the positions advanced by Mr. Jerdan in his recent autobigraphy. A series of " Unphilosophical Criticisms" is com menced, the first number being given to Shakspere's Dramas, on Anci en t Hi story ; and the remaining papers ar© well written. BANKER'S'. No. CII. Contains the usual amouut of valuable notices on commercial questions, and of statistical information. The subject of " Dangerous Life Assurance" is treated of in the opening article. COLONIAL AND ASIATIC REVIEW Among several papers replete with information, we recommend the perusal of one on the subject, at pre sent so important, of " The American Fisheries," and the article entitled " Justice to the West Indies— Free or Slave Sugar." Those on " The Rival Roads of Panama" and " The Madras Railway" will be likewise found suggestive. NEWTON'S LONDON JOURNAL. No. CCXI,IX. This eminently practical compendium of matters relating to the arts, sciences, and manufactures of the day, contains descriptions of several new patent in ventions, and a few other articles of scientific interest. JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL AGRICUL TURAL SOCIETY OF ENGLAND. The twenty-ninth number of this valuable periodi cal appears this month, and contains a variety of papers deeply interesting to agriculturists, on such sub jects as the fattening of cattle, manures, the manufac ture of sugar from beet-root, top-dressing, &c. MISCELLANEOUS. Excellent Sylvanus Urban continues with 'his ac. custorned perspicacity the record of late antiquarian discoveries in the pages of the good old Gentleman's Magazine. About the most interesting contribution in the current number for September is the continua tion of the " Wanderings of an Antiquary." In the United Service Magazine there are some attractive extracts from the journals of the late Major Edward Macready—the brcther of the "eminent Tragedian." The usual assortment of readable and entertaining papers may be found at pleasure in Chambers's Edinburgh Journal. Among the poetical scraps in troduced we observe one from the pen of Mrs. Alaric Watts. Chambers's Pocket Miscellany gives, among other enthralling narratives, an account of the cele brated " Darien Expedition"—the miseries caused by which in Scotland were commemorated so feelingly n his last work by Eliot 'Warb ur t on .

His cbaance, here, if he runs, is an inferior one, and so is his neigh bour Chief Justice, who is weighted at 21bs. less. Nancy, 4 yrs, Bst 31b, were she in form, would boa set tler; but as she is not, she must be content to finish in the ruck. Prime Minister, at Bst 31b, has, I fancy, a few pounds too much to carry; and Truth, at a pound less, is by no means well in, the Premier having her as safe as possible. Miss Ann's day seems to have passed away, without she is being quietly bottled up for some thing. At 7st 121 b, although a six years old, I cannot fancy her. Alonzo, 5 yrs, 7st 111 b, were the course a little shorter, would be very dangerous ; as the case stands I cannot place any faith in him. Frantic, although an out-and-outer, at 7st 61b, has considerably too much to carry for a three yrs old. Trickstress, 4 yre, 7st 61b, is not likely to play off the winning trick ou this occa sion. Hungerford is leniently treated by the handi capper, only Est 81b having been awarded to him; but I very much doubt his capability of finishing in front. The Proctor, at the same weight as the Alp (6st 51b), will have to make place for the latter, who if he never possessed a chance of winning before, has one now ; for I should say his six years old back cannot be broken by the feathery weight that be has to carry. Koh-i-noor, 3 yrs, Est 51b, is on the forlorn list. Story-teller, 4 yrs, Est 41b, is moderately well off, but I think he has his superiors in Obis bout among the light-weighted class. Scarecrow, if they mean him for the Cesarewitch, which I presume de pends upon the weight, will not appear before the eye - of .the public at Doncaster. The Knight of th e G arter , 4 yrs, Est albs, is treated by the handicapper in a man ner that will enable his noble owner to have a good chance of carrring off this handicap, and thereby make some amends for his St. Leger catastrophe. Jack Le erning, a most mysterious animal, who can run if he likes, but generally has a strong chiection to exerting himself, at sst 131 b, is let loose. Alfred the Great, the only three yrs old with any pr3tension:to winning this stake, is a doubtful starter; should ho run, however, his chance is not the most forlorn imaginable. Leery Whent, 3 yrs, sst 31b, has sh own some r u nning at times, but will not do for this spin. Lady Harriett and Cap tain Flash, as knowing little or nothing about, I shall pass over. Strong must be the mind of that person that could for an instant conceive that horse adelighting in the cognomination of hasg l i i i r t in 'on—althoughtweighted only at Sat for a f our yrs old A the remotest chance of catching the judg e ' s eye in leading position at the finish of the race. The Twin, 4 yrs, bred filly by Ithuriel, out of Columbine, 4st 10Ib, a nicely of exhibitions at Forth a ll erton last year, b eing a couple eing bowled over in one instance by th at wretched s'o Diddler, the Ebor, and in the o th er by Congratulation. of J erem y This year she made her first appe arance ie.e e for the Sheffield and Rotherham Handi ca p at .Doncaster, where, with Est 131 b up, she ran, to the b est of m re collection, seventh and last to the Surveyor. At Dutiam in May, she mended her running considerably, for, ' car rying Bst 21b, she ran a fair second to Miss Fly away, same age and weight, for the Maiden Plate, beatin g , among others, Burudale , 7st; Agnes Wickfield, Est 11lb ; The lied Lion, 7sl• ' Mickleton Maid filly, 6st 11lb ; an d Lindrick, 7 s t. I have entered into these particulars about this filly, knowing full well that she will be an immense favourite. She has improved considerably since her last performance, and, if she cannot run close up on this occasion, ought to be turned out as a common hack at once. Bilberry, 3 yrs, 4st 91b, seems to have a disinclination to win a great handicap, no matter how favourably she may be treated as to weight; she is rather dangerous, however, to stand against. The Infi delity filly, at 4st 71b, is likewise in well; but the animals she will have to meet hero are of a grade superior to her. On looking over my scraps of informa tion, I find that the batch most likely to dispute the point of honour at the finish will consist of Alp, the Twin, and the Knight of the Garter ; and if I place the last-named two first and second, those positions ap proach the uoarest, iu my imagination, to what will be the result. In summing up yesterday on the Leamington Stakes, I gave the pride of place to Lady Evelyn and Huco ; I must now put Cleveland iu Hug ,'s position, and at the same time declare it to be my firm conviction that Cleveland will take an immense deal of beatiug.
