Her Roral Highness the Duchess of Kent visited her Ma jesty the Queen Dowager, yesterday, at Marlborough House. liar Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent attended Dicine service, yesterday, in the Chapel Royal, St. James's. The sermon was preached by the Bishop of London, who took his text from the First of Peter, chap. ii and verse 21. The prayers were read by the Rev. Dr. Dakins, and the lessons by the Rey. Dr. Wesley. His Royal Highness Prince Albert's " Te Dente—Jubilate —"Sanctus," and " Responses," were performed by the fol lowing gentlemen of the Chapel :—Messrs. Bennett, Brad bury, Barnby (for Roberts), Chapma", Clarke, Franci., Hawkins, Hobbs, Horncastle, Sale, Shonbridge (for Sal mon), Wylde, and ten boys. Sir George Smart presided at the organ. The anthem was, " Who is this?" (Arnold.) _ W. R. Collett, Ral , recopied the chair. The dinner—a very good not nelds Dwaine, and the usual loyal and national toasts, which were responded to with the - used enthusiasm, being disposes of, The CHAIRMAN pro,osed " Prosperity to the Artists Generid Benevolent Institution." In doing so he said he felt From the first the great responsibdity of the task, and his inability to do proferjustice to it, but he had been buoyed up the hope and belief' that though he m , ght not disch arge th e d u ti e s of the chair to their satisfac tion, he should show that he felt no want of enthusiasm for the institution, another annive:sary of which they had met to celebrate.—(Cheers) The object. of the in stitution was to make some return to artists in general, when misfortune betel them. for the works which they had executed under better auspices, and it was for them to say to what extent they_ would respond to the carry ' ing ont of such a noble and philanthropic object. Nine hundred and fifty-three cases bird relieved—and no t s imply relieved, for the assistance thus given pre vented the periling, an d, i n a ll pro b a bili ty, prolonged thelives mu i of those w h o applied for such relief and ob ted t.—((heers.) And more, its charity had been so well b es t owe d t h at t h e sens i t i veness which always characterised genius had never been wound -d in the sl ght es t d egree .—(H ear , h ear .) Th e British Institution, he was delighted to find, intended to promote exhibitions of the fine art-, and that there was a growing taste in the public mind to visit them, and to purchase woks of art, thus opening up a wider field fir the execution of the artist, and stimulating them to emulate each other in producing works of the highest and must refined character.—(Cheers.) Whatever might he said of the backwardness of the great body of the public in supporting the fine arts, he was satisfied, from experience, that they had never turned a deaf ear to the appeal of men of talent. This was evident from their paving conttiliwed to relieve the neceasities of 953 Fersons. Every member of the institution knew that his contribution would be devoted to the assistance of a brother artist in the hour of adversity, but he was satis s tied that they required no inducement. from him to step for-vard t. give them all the aid they required. After , !xpressing Nis intention to do all in his power to pro mote the interests of the' institution, tie concluded by prop isitg the toss which was drunk with great enthusiasm.

NE W MONTHr.Y .41,4 G AZINE. Strong in his own powers as a poetical translator, John Osetiferd dares a comparison with John Gibson Lock hart, by a new version of the renowned " Spanish Bel lads relatitg to the Infants of Lara." And although it is deficient in that bsrbaresque beauty and lambent en thusiasm which gained Mr. Lockhart's book of Spanish ballads such a deserved popularity, the present transla tion is eminently good, because it is so eminently cha racteristic. It is no paraphrase, but, on the contrary, adheres as closely to the original as symmetry of metre would permit. The more we dip into ancient ballad literature the more are we impressed with the sagacity of the philosopher in selecting it in preference to all other means of governing the populace. How the" Ranz ales Va,chee " fires the patriotism of the Switzer ; how the " Marselloise" kindled the democracy of Frenchmen; and how that superb outburst of our brave Robin's love for fatherland, and reverence for the heroes of Scotland, Scots wha ha'e wi' Wallace bled," thrills to the bosom's core of every Caledonian ; are only individual instances of a principle which pervades all nations and animates all generations. Ballad literature is thus potent in its influ ence, because it circulates through the whole mind of the people, and appeals to the tenderest and noblest feelings of the million: Precisely what the ditties relative to Robin Hood and his merry men in Lincoln green where, in relation to our English forefathers, responding to their affection for freedom, and their partiality for valour, are these olden songs of Spain in reference to the inhabitants of the Peninsula. Their every sentiment breathes of that sunny clime—they are most apposite as addressed to_ the land of the Cid—they are tinctured with that exalted spirit of chivalry, the annihilation of which Cervantes seemed to regard as his peculiar mission. And excel lently well does this version of Mr. Oxenford typify these emotions in English verse. The five ballads are suffused with a delicious combination of intrepidity and pathos ; and, if we might permit ourselves to seleCt one among them as the more preferable, we should almost be tempted to choose the most melancholy-toned of the collection—that d-scriptive of the destruction of the infants " Salienda de Canicosa." It is exquisitely conceived and caermoigly transcribe& A better paper could hardly have commenced this number of the New Monthly. Those readers who have literary appetites, somewhat in accordance with the taste of many would-be connoiseurs in painting, who will not eulogise a landscape until they have traced it to a Cuyp or Claude, nor a pieta until it is proved to be a Caracci, nor a battle piece until it is shown to have proceeded from the easel of Wouvermans, will find a rich banquet of additional chapters in this magazine, graced with the names of G. P. R.- James, Captain Marryat, and W. H. Maxwell. " Echoes prom the Backwoods' 'are repeated by Captain Levinge vs pleasantiy as the hill sides do those on the margin or Killarney. A nameless old man (we de not allude, mind, to the venerable gentleman in black 1 .) becomes very garruleus in his " arrai gn ment a n d d e f ence o f Tune." It is a quaint conceit, however, and not un worthy of perusal. We pray Mr. Jolly Green to desist from boreieg the public any further, either with his tra eels or his opinions. he is rather a superficial pilgrim with a very enticing pseulonym. " The last Ball at the Tuileries" is smart and agreeable enough ; the tracing of the temperaments and futurity of the Duc de Neeneurs, the Duo d'Aumale, the Duo de Montpensier, the Prin. eesee Clementine, and the Princesse de Joinville, from their stile of dancing! is a very happy eccentricity. l'h..re i< much wi'oJ in, we conj.cture, in its very flip -piney. 'treble tide, however,-which the authoressehae em s , lesdiedist this article. she h forgotten to express her ehigations to that right-clever navel " Cyril Thornton." The story is absolutely identical—it is a most egregious and intolerable , specimen of plagiarismel " A sketch of the Lives of Lords Stowell and Eldon" introduces us :to the latter venerable personage in a-more pleasant cha racter than usual, namely,' as the Partaker of the frolics of children.' It reminds as of a picture everdear te•us —Charles James For - lying upon the carpet among a pile of toys. Charles Hotiton gives us'a very rbmmo.a plane narrative in ryhme about a Captain Blackeume ; there is only one redeeming point in the contribution = the suicide of Melieate. The April number is 'con cluded with noteheleast interesting paper, " The Lens of the Great Liverpool," described by one of the passen gers in that luckless vessel, over whose destruction such a.mournful interest has been cast by the recent felo de se of her unfortunate Captain. The New Monthly for this month is altogether an improvement ueon many of its predecessors. The Bishop of London will hold a confirmation of the juvenile nobility, on Thur.-day next, in the Chapel Royal, St. James's. The Dean of Westminster will preach on Good Friday ; and the Sub Almoner, the Rev Dr. Jelf, will preach in the Chapel Royal on Sunday next Mr. Drouet, Belgian Charge d' Afftires, transacted business on Friday at the Foreign—,ffice. The Lord Advocate of Sc‘aland had :trt interview with the Earl of Dalhousie on Saturday at the Office of the Board of Trade. J. 11. Minn, E-q.. one of the Vice-Presidents of the institution, briefly returned thanks. He was delight,d 14 , see Sir W. C. Moss. R.A., arn“ngst them, because he was one of the founders of the institution, and one or its Vice- Presidents, deservedly at the head of the Royal Academy, and because he hse. had the honour of painting the first portrait of our lAoved Queen before she as cended the throne.—(Cheers.) He also passed a high culogium on the talents of Thomas Phillips. R.A., and Andrew Robertson, who had died since their last anni- rs ary. J. R. TOLD, Esq., then gave the health of the Chair man, wh-ch was warmly responded to. The CHAIRMAN in returning thanks, regretted that business and politics h a d p reve n te d hi m from giving that attention to the fine arts which he desired, as in their pursuit, he had passed some of his happiest moments, as he haul studit d nature in her fain st and loveliest forms. --(Laughter.) He could assure them that he was sin cere is the sentimemt. He then go. re—•* Sir Arthur Martin Shee, and the Riyal Acalemy." The toast was received with all the honours. Thos. EWINS, Esq.. R.A., briefly I..turned thanks. C. R. COCKRELL. R.A., the Treasurer; then read a list of the subscriptions which had been received during the evening. Tney amounted to a considerable sum, and among them wore the thllowing : R. Esq., 221.25.. the Lord Chancellor, 101. 10s , the Duke of Sutherland, 101. 103., T. Ba, ink, Ezich 101., R. Impsey, Esq., 10/., G. Jones, Esq . 201., Lord F. Egerton. 101, W. J. Dennison, 10/. 105. ; 76/. the proceeds of a theatrical performance got up by several young artists, the an nounce.uent of which, and in fact all, was received with loud cheers. The CHAIR:gar/ remarked that the Royal Commis-- sioners of Fine Arts, who had not been able to accom plish all thy wished, were doing everything in their power to encourage artists. He had seen frescos in all parts of the world, but he was agreeably surprised to fi n d that those recently exhibited in Westminster-halt were equal to those y produe,d in any o th er country . Il e felt that th e ti me h:ul gone by when they had to I.ok for the initiative in that department to Germany, or any of the countries of the continent. Niw English artists took the lead, and would set an example to other countries for their colouring whether in figure or landseapr, was superior ; but he would not say that they had equallfd the ancient painters. Instead of saying that the art had reached maturity, he would rather say it had not, in order that the genius of the English artist might be stiAtulated. The Cotnaii , sioners had taken a step in the righ t direction; and, as th-y had evinced the utmost desire to promote the higher branches of the art, he confidently antici pated that no public building, in this or any other coun try, would be decorated like the new Houses of Parlia ment. He therefore besought young artists especially to avail themselves ut the opportunity thus afforde 1 to them. A number of other toasts were drunk, and the com pany did not break Iv, until a late hour. Several songs and glees were sung during the evening by die. Misses William!.. Mr. Hatton, and others. Mr. Higgins ~. fficinted as t.ast-master, and acquitted himself very effectively. IREI,AND. THE MURDER OF MR. PATRICK CLARKE. DUBLIN, APRIL 2.—The trial of two men, Patrick_ltice and Patrick Hayes, charged with conspiracy to murder Mr. Patrick Clarke, in the month of October last, commenced at Nenagh assizes so far back as Tuesday week, and was not brought to a conclusion until yehterday. A host !of witnesses were examined for the Crown, the principal being an ap • prover named Burns, two of his suns, very young men, and a daughter, a little girl between twelve and thirteen years of age. Trie prisoners were ably defended. Mr. Jnetice Ball commenced his charge.at half-past twelve o'clock'onTuesday, and adjourned the Court without going,through the whole of the , evidence. On. Wednesday (yesterday) morning his Lordship resumed his charge, and at eleven o'clock. the jury retired. At ten minutes past two o'clock they returned into Conrt with a verdict of Guilty against Rice and Hayes. The moat awful sensation prevailed in Court. The pri soners appeared unmoved. Mr. DWYER immediately demanded an arrest of judgment. His Loarisme inquired his grounds ? Mr. AnNisra , ara (Slr. Dwyer's colleague) requested time from his Lordship - to have the grounds on which•he and his Learned Friend relied engrossed. He was allowed till the adjournment of the Court for the purposs. THE GREAT WILL CASE. The remarkable case of Kelly v. Kelly, which has excited great interest in consequence ot the enormous amount of pro perty in dispute, was brought yesterday to an abrupt and unexpected conclusion, at the adjourned assizes for Ros common. It was an ejectment brought to recever from the defendant the property denominated Rockwood, which had been left to the defendant by the will of her late husband, but which plaintiff claimed for his heir-at-law. 'The issue involved a que4tion of property to the amount of 600,0031., one of the largest properties in Ireland. The case of eject ment affected freehold property of about 4,0001. - . Mr. R.

Very miscellaneous, very well-timed, and very judi cious, viewing them collectively, are the contents of t his Quarterly. " Newman's Devalopement," with " Dr. Pusey and the Confessional," are very laborious commentaries upon the so-called Tractarian movement ; and although these commentaries are occasionally. well spirited, they are also very frequently too bitter in their language, too expletive In their manner, and too self sati-fied in their tone for sober theological discussion. Nicknames are still unhappily in vogue among contro versialists. We are sanguine, nevertheless, that the time is not so distant when such adjuncts will be spurned on all hands as derogatory to the holy theme of religion. The "no popery I" cry should have expired with the confinement of that fanatical madman, Lord George Gordon, in Newgate. And the words of John Grueby, as reported to us by " Boz," in his charming tale of " Barnaby Rudge," should be inscribed in letters of staring gold over the Corinthian portal of Exeter Hall—" Lord bless you, leave that unfort' nate bloody Mary alone ' Words tinctured in any manner with bitterness are scarcely compatible with those divine doctrines which were inculcated first in Palestine in gentle accents, and in parables of tender significance. " Scriptual Geology" is generally regarded as a theme rather difficult for the peu of a Christian reviewer. Not so : the prodigious and startling discoveries of science are only fresh proofs of the veracity of the Book of Books ! The gradation and duration of geological strata can be rendered—are rendered—consonant with the first chapter of Genesis. Revealed religion is far from being subverted by the leverage of natural philosophy; it is enforced, and illustrated, and authenticated (if we might so speak) by the new revelations of astronomy and cosmogony. The earth in this way becomes a glorious index to the Heaven: the reality of the Hereafter verified by the /Vow. What sublime thoughts flood upon us at the reflection l . . . . In surveying the relative position of the " Anti-Corn-law Leagu - e and the labour ing classes," the reviewer looks through a clear medium and expre*ses himself with much solid judgment and much laudable candour. Where, however, be attempts to cast a stigma of discredit upon Sir Robert Peel, we perceive a flaw in the prism, his sight is bleared with that flood of vituperation which has latterly been lavished so ungenerously upon that most illustrious statesman. How absurd—yes, we repeat it, how utterly absurd, to scorn a political convert because—of "his time of life !" An old adage saith, " Never too late to begin!" That is a good saying, and a sensible one. And regard ing the Premier in this light alone, his change (call it what you pleased, " tergiversation," " ratting,' or what not) is admirable. When, however, in a retrospective survey of his career, we see to clear tendency towards that pinnacle of legislative magnanimity, the summit of which Sir Rohert Peel has now reached, namely, the good of the people ; when we observe throughout his whole political life a manifebt effort to seduce the aris tocracy of landlords into just concessions to the multi tude ; when we perceive his gradual progression from fixed duties to a lenient tariff, and from a sliding scale to a free trade, we cannot b a t acknowledge in him a consistency more m ass i ve and more sp l en did th an i n th a t dogged, a dh erence to ' principles long exploded, which, , w i th ;a very singular adaucity, claibis the same epithet, .Consistency indeed I surely it is the consistency, of, danceh o od 1.

" Old St. Paul's" is incorrigible in the pertinacity of its continuation, but we have already spolien so plainly upon this subject that we shall desist from further re monstrances. The two most prominent features of Ain. worth for April are, like our minor dramas, " taken from the French;" alas I for our paucity of originals, alas for our sneaking reliance upon the fecundity of the imaginations of la belle France. However we must swallow our chagreen and he as grateful as possible for the good things vouchsafed us by our neighbours. And good things they arc too of a vengeance—absolute dain ties in their way. " Piquillo Alliaga," by Eugene Scribe, and " The Count of Monte Christo," by Alex andre Dumas. Both are as interesting as romances could well be, with the assistance of all those extrava gant adjuncts, of all those thrilling improbabilities and outrageous vagaries which the Parisian novelists know se well hew to blend with their characters, so as to form very palpable fictions. As the story by M. Scribe is only commenced in this Number, we shall defer our opinion upon its merits to a more favourable opportunity ; though we must acknowledge it evinces a freshness of description which proutist:s largely. " The Count of Monte Christo," gains somewhat upon our attention in its present portion. Dudley Costello utters a variety of piquante remarks on " How they make Love over the Water," a title, which at first sight sorgested to us a teetotal courtship. Mr. Cost. lht, we opine, has no small plrteclity for Roche foucault; the refl ix of his sarcasm, and his pithiness glimmers in the lucubrations of the former. A con tribution by Thomas Wright, is a third peep into the rn, steries of " Sorcery and Magic:" and another by Charles Hooton, is a second chapter of his " Imma terialit es, or can such things be ?" consequently the lovers of the marvellous may here obtain a dish precisely to th.-ir liking. We are rejoiced to find the " Life and Writings of Nimrod" drawn to a conclusion, as the st•rie, had already exceeded all allowable limits.

MONUMENT TO 'WALLACE ---`` On Thursday evening, at the end of the first part of Mr. Wil4on's entertainment, the con cludirez song of which was ' Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled,' a gen tleman came to Mr. Wilson, and said that magnificent song had powerfully impressed him with the fact, not commendable to Scot land, that there was not a monument to Wallace, the hero who had 4lone so much tor his country. He gave his name for 501. to head a subleription for the erection of a monument to Wallace on the k hhey Crag, near Aalin;, and requested Mr. Wilson, who has done so much for the songs of Scotland, by keeping alive these parts of her history recorded is song, to give publicity to the intended monu ment, that all ranks, high and low, rich and poor, might have an oPoormnity of con.rilatting• to it.

He does well in contemning belligerent rivalry between the. United States and Eng land. Peace is indeed the panacea for all national ills. Nevertheless, in our reverence f or t hi s di v ine q u i e t u d e among nations, we must never forget that a manifesta tion of pertinacio us i n j ust i ce must no t be tolerated on the part of another government. By succumbing to the insolent demand of any Power, however near or how ever remote, however strong or however feeble, we should merely be extending rewards to additional en croachments, and by such a misjudged policy be placing the peace of mankind in yet inure imminent peril. If we are really desirous of maintaining tranquillity we must hold a scourge above legislative insolence and sus tain our rights by a plenitude of honesty , and dignity, and determination. P rom the poems of Miss Barrett we cannot restrain ourselves from quoting a few frag ments; . they are fired with such ti nuble detestation of die turpitude of our ministry in 1815.

In this manner he might favour us with a dissertation upon each description of horse, racer, hunter, draught, and so forth, with a supplement upon the diseases incident to the entire breed. The subject, no doubt, would be old in the abstract, but the manner wonld be novel and agreeable. Let hint meditate upon our recommendation. " Recollections of a Gruff," afford us a very preposterous and over-wrought incident. The situation is so unlikely that, notwith standing its absurdity, a laugh is completely out of the question. A Mr. Chess,hyre writes a sensible bundle of remarks about the " Operation of the Game-laws ;" we presume, however, from their nature, that he has dipped largely into Miss Martineau's recent stories upon the same theme. " A Vick to Newmarket" is trite and common-place ; " The White Hare" little better ; and " A Few Words about Greyhounds," too frivolous and pet* to be examined- eves by a literary microscope.

Our two pilgrim., Alfred Crowquil and F. P. Palmer, have a rare appreciation of the picturesque. Witness that " Yarnton 2`.1 anor House," flecked with shreds of sunlight and its lattices curtained by green boughs ! Just the spot in which to pore over Hohnshed of a dark night, or to carol a madrigal of Christopher Marlow in the summer-time ; and " Godstone's Nunnery," all crumbled away, and strewn with ivy, and suffused with an aspect of desola tion—a very outhouse to the moated grange of Shakspere's and Tenneyvon's Marianna, " Fair Rosamond" is, of itself, far beyond the price of the whole number, with its fantastic marginal illustrations. We can speak of these Wanderings with unaffected satisfaction ; they will form a pleasant addition to the historiography of our merry England. HEATH'S NEW GALLERY OF BRITISH ENGRAVINGS. Parts IV. and V. The six engravings before us are beautiful specimens of art ; two portraits ; two domestic scenes ; and two interiors of churches. In ,the first of the likenesses, the proverbial loveliness of our fair countrywomen is ex quisitely represented ; an effect which is doubtless owing to the combination of three things—the charms of the delicate original, the pencil of the artist, and the finished skill of the engraver. The altar scenes at Leige has a most entrancing effect, every scrap of the gothic orna ments upon the groins, the roof beams, and the mullions coming out with crispness, and yet with softness, in the pool of sun-light streaming through the stained windows. If the future parts of this series are only equal to the present specimens, the work will not be un worthy of the supervision of Mr. Charles Heath ; and that is no mean encomium. THE KNIGHT OF G WYNNE. Nos. 111. and I V By Charles Lever. Harry Lorrequer - progresses but slowly in the en tanglement of his plot—a sad failing in so experienced a writer of fiction, since but little interest is excited until the characters are in a tolerable state of confusion. Darcy, the Knight of Gwynne, is very happily con ceived and very aptly delineated, and, considering that his patrimonial estates are threatened with irre parable destruction, there is a promise of incidents such as will enthral the attention, and arouse the sympathies of the reader. Captain Forrester makes extraordinary advances in the estimation of Lady Eleanor, the hostess of Gwynne Abbey, and loses his heart—that truant of all love-tales!—to Helen Darcy. Bagenal Daly—al ready one of our familiar favourites—developer his ec centric nature more and more in every successive scene. His summary way of dealing with the postboy, by taking a streak of nap off his beaver with a pistol bullet, is almost as characteristic as his clearing the fence with " his reins in his mouth and his hands be hind his back." The epoch in which the story is situ ated is a most attractive one to all lovers of Irish romance; being no less important a time than that of the legislative union. On this very account, however, the difficulties of the narrative are enhanced: the writer must avoid any evidence of party feeling, while, at the same moment, his pages must reflect the most bitter party politics of that stormy and eventful period. We shall watch the development of the tale with much auriosity. • - • , levimhs aenat(n)wwae p h saparivtreiictua i vl ale •e rr a lyy d , y anp r ep e al v ri e l( y, r a t b e i d ep p t o r o i a n e h a i n precedingthat of sectarian intolerance.

The people, supposing that the supply would be continued, assembled in hundreds round the depots ; but. were informed of the fact of there being no more for sale. Considerable excitement was occasioned by the announcement, and the Mayor, tearing that disturbance might arise in consequence, published a public notice stating that when the order, which was daily expected, would arrive, further supplies would be distribtr ed.—Cork Examiner.

Amidst the din of battles and the wild hurrahs of victory. the wail of distress from his native land reached the Irish soldief on the remote banks of the SuCej. His heart responded to the call, and within a few days the Irish soldiers subscribed no less than 8461. to the re lief of their safe:ring fellow-countrym. n, and this sum they placed in the hands of their veteran commander, Sir Hugh Gough, himselt an leishman, for transatissiol to the scene of distress Having thus disehsrged their duty to the God ::f Charity, they went with lighter spirits to the stern per , formaoce of their military duties to their S.,vereil,rn and their country. —Observer SALMON FISHERY ON THE NESS. —M r.

Far from any ridgitional ability tiehig incorporated in' this really clever periOdieal,- there is it mournful' deficieney of that ability which has hitherto decorated its pages. The gap in its publication has virtually' deteriorated its merits. A non-issue of a Month has, as it were, salivated a very healthy constitution - to •the most remarkable stage of debility. Two articles only are at all compatible with its reputation, " Horace .Walpole's Memoirs— George III.," and " A Chapter of Roman His tory"—the latter of which is terse and erudite. For one paper, however, we can express our cordial thank fulness to the reviewer, we mean the notice of Thomas Carlyle's " Oliver CroMwell." It is indeed more than a satisfaction to us when we see a great, bold, muscular effort like that of Carlyle recognised and appreciated. We acknowledge there are obstacles to such a recogni tion and appr:ciation in the case of that strange biogra pher ; the obstacles of diction almost his own ; the obstacles of a quaint and startling mannerism. Carlyle indeed is apart from all writers, and all thinkers of which there is any record ; he is neither German or English in his style, wholly; neither is he a combina tion of the two. He is, as Gilfillan has said, " above us like a star—apart from us like a spirit." In rolling for ward the great, solid body of his thought to a conclu sion he seems like some vast Titan groping his way on wards through the darkness of a moor—stumbling con stantly—F haking the ground with his footsteps—yet striding ever towards the lights of truth that blaze up in gleams upon the horizon. His words are harsh and onant, but they burn with intellect : his books aro in defiance of the commonest rules of rhetoric, but they are luminous with something above rhetoric—they are glorious in this very deformity. Before we conclude our remarks upon the Review, we would utter our protest avainst another of those unseemly personalities which occasionally bespatter the arena of letters with anything but harmless ink. What we allude to is a most irrate diatribe upon a gentleman whom one would have imagined common delicacy, not to say common decency or common gratitude, would have forbidden them alike to attack — namely, one of the former contributors to the Review, and one whose " most successful essays," according to the acknowledgment of the reviewer himself, " have ap peared in its pages 1" To the habitual readers of this periodical we need scarcely say that the gentleman in question is M r.Keon —one of whose papers in the Oxford and Cambridge Review attracted such general and de served attention to the publication. On this account, to say the least of it, the present unaccountable ebulition of spleen is indicative o f a b so l ute i ngratitude. That i there is something exceedingly lik e sp l een i n t h e so called criticism must be evident from such expressions as—" satisfied apostacy," " ferocious audacity," " a rich mixture of folly and f us ti an ," " exot i c impertinence," "itinerant writer," and so forth: phrases which go for less than nothing in argument, and are scarcely con sonant with the character of a gentlemanly critic. Though we cannot coincide with Mr. Keon in regarding the writings of Carlyle as " rugged nonsens?." (and why we do not, the foregoing paragraphs will testify), we are not inclined to asperse Mr. Keon on that account, in the terms of the reviewer, as an "arrogant author." Surely writers may indulge in a diversity of opinion without descending to sheer abuse ! THE BANKERS'. The article on "Banking for the Poorer Classes" is deserving the attention of the philanthropist, the finan cier, and the statesmen. Our present banking system offers to the rich either eligible investments or pecuniary accommodation, on the most advantageous terms ; whereas the poor man, if he seek a safe investment, can find it only in the savings' bank, where he gets but three per cent. for his money, and if he wants accom modation, he must have recourse either to the pawn broker or the loan society, and then he can only obtain it on ruinous terms. Having thus described the situation of the poor man, the writer proceeds to propose his plan. " It will be seen from what has been already stated, how completely the poorer class of borrowers are left in the hands of unprincipled sharpers, and pettifogging attorneys. We think it is deserving of consideration—whether the present system of savings' banks might not be so far modified, as to render available a portion of the futu:s invested with them, for loans to parties who can give satisfactory security. It this could he done. it would protect the borrowers from the rapacity of these' loan societies,' and would realise for the savings' bank depositors a much larger rate of interest than they can at present receive. The chief objection would, of course, be that the savings of the poor depositor would not be so secure as at present; but we think there are few depo sitors who would not .give up some portion of this security for the great advantages he would derive from the increased rate of interest. The objections, too, might be altogether I avoided, if the present savings' bank system was continued 1 Or those who dolrectit ; allowing others to invest their OUR OWN TIMES.

It betokens considerable shrewdness of obser vation and forcefulness of thought—ragged perhaps at the labouring classes. At all events, it is worth a trial. tim es, but genial and spontaneous. "T he Vicissitudes of Illustrious Men" will ultimately form a serial, which we presume, will not be unacceptable to the subscribers and readers of this magazinv,—s(eing that it will forte (if persevered in) a perfect library of the lives of illus trioui men of nil ages, and of all countries. It create., indeed, quite a new species of biography. The inci dents are grouped together in a popular strain, while historical accuracy is strictly adhered to—the different authorities being acknowledged in almost every particular. Thomas I-Becket is the subject of the present article. "My Heart and Myself" is a charming little poem ; we would gladly transcribe it but for the length to which our notice has already extended. Of " The Catholic Man of Letters in London," by the Editor, we could scarcely, with any propriety, speak at the present moment, the story having just reached a transition point. But that the chapters before us are adorned with Irish landscapes, most delicately pencilled, we should miss those subtle delineations of character, and those battles of badinage and satire which charac terised the preceding numbers. Dolman's Magazine it; altogether a worthy expositor of a class, a system, and a creed ; if the Roman Catholics of this country have an eye to their own interests, they will rally round it in a spirit of unanimity.

The following hit at the dwarf mania is not bad : " A Harr TO PLAYGOEIII9.—As there seems to be a taste recently sprung up among the public for seeing dwarfs on the stage, we beg to offer a suggestion by which people may experience this gratification at any of the metropolitan theatres :—By reversing the opera-glass, and looking through the wrong end of it, all the performers at Drury-lane, the Haymarket, or the Adelphi, will appear as diminutive as the most enthusiastic admirer of littleness could possibly desire.' ROOD'S MAGAZINE. Excellently does this number commence with some most touching sonnets from that right-charming son , neteer, J. Jones, "A Plea for the Ten Hours' Factory Bill." They form no mean enforcers of the principles advocated by Lord Ashley ; they are tender and pa thetic, because they are so true and simple. " Nell Gwynne" progresses with the same accumulation of slouched hats, and rapiers, and excruciating slang, both from Dutch skippers and the ruffians of Alsatia, such as would furnish materials for twenty penny weekly nove lettes. It breathes of blue-lights, and Batty's, and Berlin glo►es. It is essentially melodramatic, with a patch of staring brightness here and a blot of gloom there, just to produce a startling contrast with as little effort as possible. It is a diseased species of romance, and wo yearn to see it thoroughly exploded. Those must have unhealthy literary palates who can derive gra tification in discussing such a furious mountain of im probabilities and incongruities. Surely some blunder on the part of the printer alone insinuated such en abortive effort at sentiment as the following piece of inane and unrythinical trash:— N:GHT. The earth and air are silent, the pure sky Rilieved alone by pale clouds floating by: The summer moon in her soft majesty, Is pouring silver(l) on the sleeping sea. This is the hour when love, deceitful sprite, Steals with his magic thru' the shades of night. Giving in lover's eyes a holier smile Unto the beams which kiss each leafy isle, Unto the firmament a softer mood— Unto the sea a deeper solitude. We would recommend the writer to visit the Lyceum, and hear Keeley tell the sailor how "he answered him in the firmament!" or to the Adelphi to witness the anguish of Wright, as Mr. Honeybun, when he imagines the baby is " squashed behind the chest-of-drawers," or to visit any other region of drollery and facetiousness, until his very diluted imaginings are scared away by some comic actuality. He will feel vastly better himself by the transformation, and—so will his readers ! Mr. Percy St. John gives us another of his delicate little romances ; one entitled The White Cloud," a tale of Florida. " The vision of Iquez Castro," by the author of "The Cathedral Bell," is chastely worded, and filled with a subtle sombreness, most consonant with the ideas of the dream. " Marco Brandi" advances well ; the interest increases ; the situations are dramatic, and the characters painted with singular boldness. Two more chapters of "The Bushranger of Van Diemen's Land," a story about " Caleb Von Dustenberg," and another about " The Siege of Antioch," complete the April number ; which, if it wants in solidity of matter and refinement of composition, has a superabundance of that honhommie, which imparts such a decided zest to light literature. We perceive, with much pleasure, that the next magazine, for May, will contain an article upon the " Antigone of Sophocles," from which we are in clined to anticipate a vigorous critical disquisition, NEW SPORTING MAGAZINE. What with its usual array of contributors, its editor's indefatigable assistance, an engraving from Herring, and another from Bateman, the New Sporting Magazine comes off, for April, gallantly. " The High-mettled Racer—the Sweat," by Herring (that prince of the painters of horse-flesh) is a rare piece of deception ; while looking at the animal in full gallop, you can almost body forth the dent in the turf, the roll of the hoops, the flapping of the cloths, and divers other et ceteras. " Leatherluogs the Leg" pursues his career bravely ; and Craven gives us a capital account of " Baron Rothschild's hounds and country." " Saron" and " Castor," and " Harry Hieover," and " Polonides," and that pleasant fellow " Scribble," each contribute their quantum to the magazine. While "Bee's-wing" innovates with a humourous, sketchy paper on the "Hunting Parson." The number is altogether exactly suited to the Spring season. NEW MONTHLY BELLE ASSEMBLEE. A fanciful portrait of Gulbeyaz, by Kenny Meadows, in illustration of Byron's renowned description, forms a pretty frontispiece to the Belle Assemblie for April. Mrs. Abdy concludes her " Passages in the Life of a Coquette ;" there is a continuation of the " Martyr ;" another description (may be the thousandth) of " Nia gara ;" a small but agreeable contribution from Elisa beth Youatt, and some curious lines by Camilla Tool min. Some papers are really above mediocrity, though the mass are of that class which may be designated, in the strictest sense of the word, " flimsy." Many are, indeed, too insipid to bo lounged over in a bouclidr ; we would recommend the entrepreneur to be just a trill more cautious in her selection. Information might be easily combined with fiction—they might alternate each other, and lend a new variety , to the publication. SIMMONDS'S COLONIAL. Charles , Houton,. we perceive, has joined the corps of this Magazine ; hie vary first contribution proves that he will be an acquisition. Though some may remember his " Rides, Rambles, and Sketches in Texas," when. they appeared some years back in Tait, they, will not regret a • renewal: of that 'acquaintance. " Arctic and Antarctic Discoveries" is a valuable paper ; it is replete with facts, newly arranged and accompanied with sen sible comments. The " Tale of Australia" advances both in extent, interest, and ability ; so , also do the " Reminiscences of the Island of Cuba." " Emigration and Colonisation" is deserving of serious consideration; but so indeed is the entire number, which is good in more than one particular. THE HOME MAGAZINE. This is the first number of a new adventurer among the monthly periodicals ; and though the multitude of its predecessors must preclude it from obtaining a very wide circulation, the ability it already evinces will entitle it to general attention. Of the opening article—the in troduction of an " anciente storie of the 16th century — we can merely say it is an attempt, which from its bold ness is deserving of success ; it is called, rather poorly we opine, " The Royal Marriage." To this are ap pended a few critical observations on the recent works of Michelet, Gilfillan, and Carlyle, upon the reprint of Hood's poems, and upon Lamartine—noble amidst the poets of Gaul. These effusions are on the average tolerably good specimens of reviewing —neat, rather than vigorous. They form, however, a fair characteristic of the Home Magazine generally. • THE FARMERS' MAGAZINE. A digest of everytting worth the immediate cog nizance of the agriculturist. The essays are confined to no mere section of farming, they apply to the entirety of the profession. One paper wo must particularly mention for its utility—"Pleuro Pneumonia." The Farmers' Magazine must prove a boon to a very important class. D 0 L 111 AIY S. With this, its fourteenth number', Dolman's Magazine commences under new and favourable auspices ; the editorship has fallen into the hands of Mr. Miles Gerald Keon, a young author, who has so identified himself with the social, theological, and literary position of Catholics —who has evidenced such a pure, tolerant, and sustained enthusiasm for the cause of his religious brethren—and who, in doing so, has displayed such capacity as a rhe torician (and we apply the term in its most compre hensive sense), as to afford a solid assurance of his com petency for the office. His editorial address, of itself, is a clear exposition of the spirit with which this periodical will henceforth be animated ; it promises largely, with out Ostentation ; it ambitions much, without betraying audacity ; it advocates, in a bold and manly manner, the views of one portion of the community, without en croaching upon the bias of the remainder. As to the exact principles upon which this magazine will be eon docted, we cannot do better than quote the language of the present editor : Those principles are two—the first is the conciliation of Protestants; the second the reconciliation of Catholics. . . • . The magazine shall lose no time iu entering upon the high and difficult career to which we have pointed . . . . We would fain have it address the general public; and address it in a light, attractive manner. We have our quarterly review; we have our weekly newspaper; shall we not have our monthly periodical? . . . . Possessing, then, a grave and scientific critical journal, and a widely-circulated political organ, shall we not also possess a lighter literary representative? On the library-tables of the kingdom we occupy a place; in the political mind we occupy a place; in the drawing-room and the gallery, in the studio and the cabinet shall we occupy no place ? " These sentences will give the reader some inkling of the plans and the practical sentiments propounded in the " Editorial Address ;" but they afford no notion what • ever of its more thoughtful and energetic passages. of its eloquent earnestness in allusion to its higher creed, or of the perspicuous enumeration of its contributors. Among those contributors we find many names of unquestionable eminence, as a testimony of which we may simply men • tion that of the historian Lin,gard. Throughout the t present number we can already detect an impro o v r e . w e e x n . upon its predecessors ; its religious opint e n i s s IlEit aLAJESTY'S BUCK HOUNDS.—In consequence observed _ , , pressed with candour, and openness, and wish the mew of Good Friday and Windsor military steeple chases occurring this —with a gentlemanly forbearance. missionWe; by proceeding week, the Royal stag hounds will m eet s, instead of in the realization , the usual number, which will take p o l l a 'l c ) e • h t a o v lay tw ai o id'huday. editor success in his literary upon his present system, be cannnotialatii.on to Prote4ants— 1 WEST INDIA YAMS.—A small importation of three of his proposed principles—" c ‘ f T c i ii n i tens of this esteemed and nutritious root has Just been received from ' reconciliation to Catholici" a f a r :ll 3 a n it i t t h; 1 St. Kitt's, to ascertain its availability for purposes of food in this i der l 4 V , English 'To • . . • ! country, a great many of which have found their way to the shops will be attractive to being one of the many, pictured, though in Soma' - i the discharge of his clerical 1 when yal at the West-end, where they are being sold as luxuries far the table. en ecoked, either by roasting or boiling, the root in much more nutritim.s than the adventures encountered b too ornate;.

The publication, in our paper of the 7th instant, of the epistle of our correspondent, " Mr. John Thomas, broker," together with the letter of " Indophilus,"to which he referred, has led to our being favoured with the subjoined interesting communication, descriptive of the experiments in cotton cultivation at Dharwar. The information given as to the efforts of the Ryots to ex tend the growth of the exotic plant, is in the highest degree satisfactory, and goes far to prove that the idea so generally entertained as to the apathy of native agriculturists, and their aversion to innovation, is, if not groundless, at least of far more limited application than parties have hitherto believed. We trust that Mr. Miller will take an early opportunity of sending us an account of the successful experiments with the saw-gin, to which he alludes in the concluding paragraph of his letter. " To the editor of the Bombay Times and Journal of Commerce, " Sir,—ln the letter on the subject of ' cotton culture in India,' republished from the London Times in your issue on the 7th instant, Indophilus has, es you have snggested, 'somewhat exaggerated ' regarding the extent of the New Orleans cotton planted in Dharwar. This is, however, confined to his figures: the main inference, of the decided success a ttained, and the ' important fact diet the culture is increasing and has been taken up by the natives,' is fully correct, and will i n tehi.egive for satisfactorily iv e s hown, I doubt not , by en expos i t i on of the real state of the case, which , with your permission, I w ill h for the information of your readers. " The experiment was started at Dh a rwar sum mer of 1843. That season there was about 600 so f New Orleans cotton sown, but not more th an /M a r l e re cultivated ; the other moiety, owin g t o th e unavoida ble a absence of the gentleman who had it planted, was al lowed to run to waste, and the little it produced was not taken into the estimate of the season's out-turn. Of the 300 acres cultivated, 80 acres were in the Government farm at Koosghul ; the rest was planted by the llyots. A portion of the produce of the latter was sent to China, and realised 7 tales 2 macs per picul, the highest price then ruling. Another portion was shipped to Liverpool, and brought 31d. per pound last May. In 1844 there were sown and cultivated about 2,100 acres-225 acres in the Government farms, and the rest by the Ryots. The produce, about 245 bales, is partly in Bombay and partly on the way there; anti will, I doubt not, shortly be submitted to the Chamber of Commerce for its opinion. In 1845, we had seed enough to plant 17,000 acres, of which upwards of 10,000 acres have been plantt.d. The whole would have been sown but for the almost total want of rain throughout the north eastern part of the district, and one entire talooka in the south. Of this; quantity, 900 acres, or thereabouts, has been planted by the Ryots on contract for Govern. ment—the rest, upwards of 9,000 acres, on their own account, Government having abandoned the expert mental farms. The picking of t his cro p has no co menced in parts of the district, and the prospect is very gorxi, both a; to quantity and quality. acres ought to produce thousands of . bales.
