MAGAZIN ES-(C0 TINUED.) COLBURIV'S CIAI7ED SERVICE. The contents of tivi present number are of a more varied character than usual. We have, under the title of " Marvels of Marine Natural History," an amusing paper on krakens and other apocryphal monsters of the deep ; and under that of " A Tale of the Sea," a tale of horrors .‘ to make the blood run cold." Captain Dove ton gives us a spirited sketch of adventures in thuthern India and "The Reminiscences of the War of Succes sion in Portugal." The " Memoirs of an Old Sailor," and " History of the Rob Roy of the West," are continued. There are several other papers of interest to the general reader in this number, besides the numerous valuable articles on professional subjects, which are always to be found in this Magazine. The present number of the United Service is excellent. THE _SUN, LONDON, MONDAY„MORNING, JUNE 8, 1846. LOWE'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE. " Lowe's Review," we opine, would have been a much more applicable and significant title to this periodical, as the major portion of its contents partake more of the critical character than of the didactic. And we must candidly assure its editor that in this distribution of articles he does not act very judiciously, the original essays or disquisitions contained in the number for June being of considerable ability, while the criticisms are, on the average, feeble and flippant to a painful extent. "Sir Tristram and Sir Galahad" is a very agreeable reminiscence of the chivalric era; the con tribution on "John Knox " possesses an interest quite its own ; while " Solitude and Intercourse" contains many novel and startling reflexions. Take, for ex ample, these upon solitude Thinking men of any real nobleness have ever been men of brotherly heart; yet trey have loved solitude, Lonely often by necessity of nature, they have in solitude perfected love; they have been social solitaries. Whoever strenuously seeks to live spiritually, will need and desire times of solicitude, and to these he will be sometimes drawn, sometimes driven. Within him he will find a wild, pathless hill country,' within him, also, plmant and sacred groves, with trees flower-garlanded, and dropping honey. He will have both griefs and joys. True thought has ever its pains and throes, but there will be often the dull agony that cannot think. There will be sometimes a composed peace of mind, when truth will reveal itself in its two-fold solemnity, as to one floating on a still sea Heaven is disclosed, alternately as a fir mament of star-L,arnished darkness, and as a firmament of radiant, invigova,jne: sunshine. But there will also be times of fear, when a horror of great loneliness overspreads the heart a. a storm-darkness on a sultry day, and when winds of thought whisper no more sweetly as the voices of angels, but sound strangely, like the distant cry and wailing of evil spirits drawing nearer. Loneliness may be indeed a bitter and chilling imprisonment—a bondage in ' darkness that may be felt'—an Egyptian bondage, in Egyptian darkness. Many a man who has loved his times of solitariness as the evening twilight, when that twilight has deepened into a continuing night, has cried unto God, and said—' My Father, I am afraid in this great darkness. Where art Thou f' There cannot be right action without thoughtful solitude, bnt there cannot be a blessed solitude without right action; neither has power of itself, they are joined of God.'" "When, then, we retire from the outward, we go not into an unillumined darkness; the light of our own spirit is, in its brightness, more and more revealed to us, and we are wholly filled with its steady shining. But within us, we have not only a country, to walkin which we need light, but, as it were, a dwelling- house with chambers; and, having with drawn from the world, and kindled a lamp in some quiet chamber, earthly noises may be to us as winter rain, patter ing drearily tigaint the cloyed casement of our spit it, whilst we sit within, cheered with the light of our thoughts, and warmed with the fire of our musings. It is then that to our heart speaks the sttll small voice' of God. No man hears this, if ever surrounded with the tumult and contradic tion of other voices. This sacred voice speaks not to us alene new things, - but often thrills us with its utterance of t!tings well known. Then, specially if it be ours to represent truth to our brethren, the spirit of searching comes upon us. If truth believed be not in silence pondered, there is danger that we get a defiled conscience—knowing that we seek to make others feel what we feel not ourselves, and affirm that to be obligatory upon all men which has not full control over us. As our outward life widens, our inward one must deepen." In all this there may be something mysterious, but reason and our innate emotion tell us that it contain. , nothing aosolutcly chimerical. As a specimen of the flimsy style of reviewing introduced in this Magazine, we may be allowed especially, to instance the one upon the " New Timon." It is of course, allowable for every one to form a diffarent opinion as to the merits of a particular poem, the more so, as some poetical productions address themselves in a peculiar manner to the idiosyncracy of some individuals, and consequently find no sympathy from readers of a perfectly opposite idiosyncracy. We are not, therefore, cavilling at the fact of that Edinburgh critic finding little more than ordinary neatness in the remarkable work which he has failed in appreciating, much as we are astonished at the indifference with which he regards it. It is the manner he has adopted for the expression of his disappointment to which we object—how shall we designate that manner ? The dictionary supplies us with no epithet precisely applicable to it, excepting of a coarse and vulgar kind. We shall not, therefore, at tempt its definition, We will allow the reader to judge of the elegant style and refined feelings visible through out the criticism in question by a quotation. What does he think, then, of a man presuming to understand a poetical idealism, who writes such a sentence as the fol- lowing : " After Daniel O'Connell then passes Lord Stanley ; but as we do not care fur Lord Stanley so much as the poet does, we will take the opportunity to blow our nose ; and b y tee tune we rave returned our handkerchief to our pocket, some other notable will be passing." What delicacy of sentiment I What a capacity for reciprocating the purest emotions of the human heart 1 Bah It only serves to remind one of the adage " throwing pearls to swine." The treatment of this anonymous poem in other quarters, while in substance it hcs shown the diversity of opinion, has also in many instances disclosed the degradation of humanity. Wc say again—t're degradation of humon : tj— for these sages in nature and books have absolutely maligned the "New Timon" as a poem of an immoral ten , lencv. Surely, after that, we should have little hesitation in wagering that these men would see an indelicacy in tha naked figures of Canova's Graces, would vilify as licentious the divine purity of the recumbent Ariadne, and would look only with lascivious eyes upon the Venus de Medici. Out upon such literary prudes I They turn from a block of white and unsullied marble, thinking it flawed and spotted, because they look through cracked spectacles grimmed with smoke. " The blue ,ky seems flecked with blood ; The sun,hine oo the floor looks blacks ;" cries Beatrice, in the " Ce•nci :" Let these stieklers for propriety take those words as their motto. They can scarcely discover one more appropriate. THE KNIGHT OF G IVVNJVE. No, VI., By Charles Lever. We must acknowledo ourselves chagrined at the hurried manner in which Mr. Lever finishes off the episode of Glecson's departure : after so much dramatic preparation in the preceding chapters—after mustering all the wrath of the .lements and painting the commence ment of a pursuit by Bagenal Daly, which promised such scenes of excitement in the channel, the matter is quietly dropped by the return of the pursuer with the intelli gence of the suicide of the pursued. Nevertheless, our disappointment in one regard is compensated by our satisfaction in another. The love passages between Helen Darcy and Forester, are most tenderly and truth fully pourtrayed. Apropos of the latter, his lady-mother writes him one scrap of inimitable advice; she warns him, if he would render himself agreeable in society, to abstain from telling anecdotes. There is not in truth a more incorrigible nuisance in :private life than your prcfessed anecdote-monger ; and we would ourselves prefer the infliction of hearing the stereotyped edition of " Joe Miller's Jest Book" recited, from the title-page down to the finis, rather than undergo a single hours' tete.a.tete with any conversationalist of this des cription. Besides monopolising the time and at tentioß of everybody else upon subjects of intense fri volity, these social delinquents, instead of entertaining, are guilty of the most inexcusable egoism. Written anecdotes, like those introduced by Charles Lever, are allowable enough, seeing that they can readily be " skipped" (as young ladies have it) whenever the rea der is disinclined - for their perusal. From the destruction impending the generous-hearted Knight of Gwynne we anticipate no little entertainment. Mr. Lever possesses such a mastery over the conventional details of a fiction, and writes with such a spontaneous glitter, that he cannot fail of sustaining his popularity. KNIGHTS WEEKLY VOLUME. Vets. C, CI., and CII. The variety of literary materials employed in thbleis admirable series is e xtraordinary ; and considera taste is displayed in the alternation of the different sub jects introduced. For example, in the three volumes under consideration, we have a fanciful and not unlovely hypothesis about "Flowers and their Associations," by Anne Pratt ; then we have some animated letters de scriptive of " The Backwoods of Canada," embellished with a multiplicity of woodcuts ; and, finally, the eighth volume of the " Cabinet Portrait Gallery of Bri tish Worthies," comprising biographies and engraved like nesses of Sir Mathew Hale, Andrew Marvell, Isaac arrow, Thomas Hobbes, Samuel Butler, and Lord to Thean estimation for the last mentio7 froj k s am Russell. Whatever the partiality may arise succinct, ed confess volume.memoirs are agreeably .v file the y some, likewise afford many interest ingat)rt amongstcu.la particulars, e t h e mo more most cur remark curious, particth Of these able characters, r 3 of are unquestionabi, ppertituung to the domestic habits of the illustrious Hobbes--Hobbes of Malmesbury. Aubrey's account of his habits, is especially entertain ing, and through it we follow the old philosopher, erect in body, and steadfast in the retention of his wisdom, through the daily course habitual to his existence. His scanty breakfast ; his sturdy walks, for promoting heat and expelling moisture ; his meditativeness between meals ; his solitary dinner ; his mid-day slumbers ; his smoking ten or twelve pipes of tobacco (" rare, devilish, damned tobacco !" as Robert Burton hath it) ; his laying awake in bed, and singing cheerily to himself at mid night ; all these scraps of memory, swimming . before our vision as we read, Ling back upon our imaginations the solemn and affecting image of the sage. Conveying so much useful information, in so plantar and so ac cessible a form, Charics Knight's Weekly I olume de serves to be about the most widely circulated of serial publications. - THE CABINET HISTORY OF ENGLAND. Vol. XVIL Under the management of the same singularly enter prising publisher, who, as accredited publisher to the society for the Diffusion of Useful Knowledge, and as editor of Shakspere, has acquired for himself such a dis• tinguished position in the world of contemporary letters, this pocket history for the people proceeds prosperously. In abreviating the corresponding passages in his original composition, the Pi6orial History of England, Mr. Charles MacFarlane has generally evinced discrimina tion in selecting the points for erasure, and has alto ppther compiled a very useful inductive work to English history. POLITICAL DIC IIuNARY. Part XIII. Mr. Knight again performs a service fur the benefit of the public generally ; and, at a moment when poli ties are more universally studied among the populace than possibly at any anterior period of our annals, a work of more practical utility than an accurate " Poli tical Dictionary " could hardly have been divised. Nor, only are the mere technicalities unravelled, but its more abstruse phases are dealt with and expounded : as, for instance, in the present section of the work, the articks on " Roman Law," and the " Sessions." What has hitherto baffled the apprehension of many, will, with the assistance of this " Political Dictionary," be com prehensible to all. THE PATENT JOUI?IVAL. No. I. A neatly arranged brochure for the convenience of inventors, illustrated with engravings, and at a reasonble price. In this . _ " -- patent age of new inventions, For killing bodies and for saving souls," as Byron styled the nineteenth century, we presume such a periodical will not lack patronage. THE PENNY MAGAZINE. It is with pleasure we perceive that this old favourite has improved, not merely in dimensions, but in its lite rature. The articles, for one thing, are more diversified, and are written in a more sparkling and readable man ner than heretofore. Besides which, the illustrations, though scarcely so numerous, are infinitely superior both in design and in workmanship, The three enigmas, drawn by William Harvey, are dainty tokens of the pictorial character of his imagination. " Historical Scenes" are excellently written ; and the little article headed " Robinson Crusoe," will be perused with inte rest by every one who retains any school-boy recollec tions, since it appears, from that article, that the name of Defoe's renowned voyager is still very prevalent in Essex. From the flourishing appearance of the Penny Magazine, we are almost tempted to imagine that the editor has discovered for it the elixir of life: it bears the aspect of a literary Rosecrucian. OLD ENGLAND'S WORTHIES. Part V. In a former notice we have fully commented on the advantages of a publication of this kind for the en lightenment of the multitude. By holding out to the ;resent generation the more remarkable personages of a past generation, not only is experience gleaned through books with impunity to ourselves, but a flame of emula tion is kindled within our bosoms likely to incite us to the avoidance of bad and the achievement of good. Our fancies are moreover developed by the appeals made to them by such narratives ; and our minds are brought into operation upon the skeletons of the mental opera tions of the illustrious dead—namely their lives. Those we conceive to be the peculiar advantages of biography, as a part of education. What instructive lessor's, for example, are there not to be collected from the per formances and the vicissitudes of such beings as Eliza beth, Shakespere, Raleigh, Camden, Bacon, and Ben Jonson, whose d m .Imirs occupy the p resen t num b er of " Old Englan 's Worthies?, THE PICTORIAL GA LL 811 Y OF ARTS. Pail XVII. What with a profusion of clever woodcuts and a mass of explanatory letter-press, part seventeen, makes alto gether a goodly show ; a moment's examination of the pages will, however, convince any one that it has like wise something "that passes show." It is entirely of an architectural character this month, and the style in which that art is treated is a strange combination of elabi,rateness and simplicity. When completed, the book will be the choicest cullings from many other sources ; it will be, in itself, the condensation of a whole library. OXFORD AND CAMBRIDGE REVIEW. The most interesting article in the present number is on the •• Present State of Greece." The author is evidently very well informed on the subject, and is per fectly aware of the intrigues of M. Piscatory and of the utter want of principle in his tool and agent, Coletti, to whose keeping the destinies of this unhappy country are for the present committ,d. An article on M. Michelet is, as might have been predicated, a furious and most unjust attack upon that talented writer ; even as a swindler fears and hates a policeman, so does a Jesuit fear and hate M. Michelet ; and the extravagant eulo gium of Dr. Pusey, with which this r-ticle opens suf ficiently marks the author as, if not actually a Jesuit, yet as something very nearly approaching to one. From the series of papers on " German Political Poets" we extract the following spirited version of a poem by Freiligrath— Contrasting the present King of Prussia with Frederic the Great—the man of good intentions with the man of re• solute action; and though it seems to us by no means pro bable that the hero would have done the work the poet gives him to do, the whole character of Frederic is apprehended in Germany so differently from our notion of him, that there is little to surprise us in this view of it. A SCENE IN ELYSIUM. The scene took place in paradise some little while ago, Old Fritz jumped up and rubbed his hands at what he saw below ; He struck his sword-hilt angrily, and, striding up and down, At last met Blucher and Von Stein, but did not cease to frown. To Zeithen and to Winterfelt he beckoned to come near, And Gneisenau approached with them the royal words to hear; And Keith, the doughty Scot, came up, Schwerin and Scharn horst too, And many a name of warrior fame from Prussia old and new. Then with an uncelestial oath to all around he said,— . It just has struck me I am dead—yes, sirs, entirely dead Why am I not now back again at Potsdam and Berlin? Would it not be a time for me—say, Scharnhorst and Schwerin ? " How I would seize and manage it ! no more as autocra t ; No, no, my friends, another time, another task than that; Too bright was once the light my name shed on my fellow-men. For 'Le to be in thought and will the man that I was then. 4, N o , all that I have done and worked byprecept and example, (The glories of thirteen, methinks, are no unworthy sample ;) Should but the broad foundation be on which with joy to raise The strong and high state •editice of present better days. "Days that will not in patience stand with treason seated by, Days, that no longer can endure the-liar and the lie; A time that will not live on words, however smooth they be, A time that must breathe out at last, breathe deep, and utter free. " That German people! so deceived, and no one there to right them! Their rights by traitors filched away, and no one there to fight them I No one to claial the due, or send the debtors to Gehenna; No one to tread with manly heel on Carlsbad and Vienna. " I'd burst the diplomatic net that holds the fools in awe ! An open German parliament, a single German law I And everywhere the free free word as spoken and as writ, As God is true, and I a King, I would accomplish it. " 'Twould be a thunderbolt !—what then ?—a year or two of storm ; And the crooked would fall straight—confusion yield to form ; Blow after blow should do the deed ; I could because I would ;- -A king may well defy the kings, when for his people's good. " And then, the tempest past, my land would glisten in the sun, A strong and free new Germany—a Germany made one; With one bright iris spreading earth, from shame and sorrow freed, A prince's and a people's league—a German league indeed. " The People is a noble stream, and he who, wisely brave, Can cast his clear un troubled glance within the rolling wave, In jubilee is raised and borne triumphant to his goal, But merciless the waters rush o er every craven soul : , Twould hold me up—'twould bear me on —say, Blucher, would it not! A more than ever people's king, how enviable a lot! And then to rest bewept and blest by all the brave and good . . The fine old warriors bowed assent, and cried, "Yes sire, you would." The paper is signed " R. M. M.," and we presume is from the pen of Mr. Monckton Millnes. Lord John Manners contributes a ballad on the fall of the Knights Templars, and we have a glorious paper on the " Con vivial Entertainments of the G ree k s ," rem i n di ng us strongly of the rollicking style of poor Maginn. Al together there is much pleasant reading in the present number of the Oxford and Cambridge. THE CONNOISSEUR. Though recently commenced, this journal of the fine arts breathes a healthy tone ; it is independent in its mode of thinking, and has no conventional enthusiasm. We will quote one passage from a criticism on the Royal Academy exhibition, which we think conveys a very happily-worded definition of the style of literature peculiar to our own generation. It is as follows : The age we live in has gradually estranged itself from what is called classical antiquity, in which the natural ac tions of mankind were disguised under the phraseology of pompous diction. It has become exigeant for exactness. In literature detail is the one thing needful. Modern readers are deaf to nPre unauthenticated opinion in others; and de mand sufficiency of well-attested circumstance to enable the construction of opinions for themselves. Theories are no longer accepted. Facts, circumstances, details, features, pe culiarities, costumes and texture, have all relationship with the necessary attributes of a work that shall be popular. These desideratums make the charm of Dickens; and it is these qualities that, in spite of the sneers and, manufactured literateur—the compilation of Greek and Lslin—the true alreadyrni_ and :ibo i N n -e t lA h r e al l t 7 e e r rY S ' Scott, who was himself teeth of his scorn, has 1 so signal a departure from the beaten track of classical dul ness. Dickens's descriptive detail is always d9rived from ve rs University elevated him m actual observation, by an organisation peculiarly fitted for detecting those delicate ,minutife that indicate the natural characteristics of men and things; while that of Scott, is often merely a transcript of the image raised in his mind by the description of others, filled up—admirably filled up—by invention or adaptation. The one, to our posterity, will afford documentary evidence of the social condition of our period. The other will, with few exceptions, and those re ferring to localities of confined interest, be merely clever and ent:Ttaining productions of an uncommon mind. These opinions we cordially believe to be just and accurate. As a romancer Scott is unequalled ; as a pa;r ter of the social life of his contemporaries, Charles Dickens is immeasurably above Scott and ever other man that ever existed. Sneer as we may at his man nerisms—scoff as we may at his false punctuation (and such-like solar -spots)—that is his position as an author, and will continue his position as an author centuries after the malcontents are lapped in oblivion. The portrait of Madame Castellan, which forms the frontispiece, is life-like and characteristic of the songstress. THE MUSICAL HERALD. Part A weekly and monthly publication, very likely to take a permanent stand amongst our periodicals. Our opinion rests on two grounds—firstly, the excellence and cheapness of the work; and, secondly, that it has no precise rival. Glees, and duets, and cavatinas, and waltzes, are printed clearly, with a choice interpolation of literary pieces—such as critiques, biographies, musi cal anecdotes, and so forth. Among several rather scarce pieces we may mention the famous French mili tary song of the age of Charlemagne, " The Song of ' Roland." What with the indubitable merit of the pub- I irAtion and its extreme novelty, the price is ridiculously small. GEMS OF POETRY. No. 1. The singularity of this republication of many almoLt forgotten beauties of our olden poets engages our pa , hy for its success. It is charmingly got up, though we are inclined to object to the scanty allowance of leaves to a single part, As a specimen of the materials employed, we will transcribe an exquis%e poem by James Shirley, entitled " Death's Final Conquest." We are told in a foot-note that it was greatly admired by Charles the Second ; a circumstance which, to our thinking, speaks admirably for the poetical taste of the "Jerry Monarch. The words run thus— The glories of our birth and state Are shadows, not substantial things; There is no armour against fate; Death lays his icy hand on kings. Sceptre and crown Must tumble down, And in the dust be equal made With the poor crooked scythe and spade. Some men with swords may reap the field, And plant fresh laurels where they kill ; But their strong nerves at last must yield ; They tame but one another still. Early or late They stoop to fate, And must give up their murmuring breath When they, pale captives, creep to Death. The garlands wither on your brow, Then boast no more your mighty deeds; Upon Death's purple altar now, See where the victor victim bleeds. All heads must come To the cold tomb : Only the actions of the just Smell sweet and blossom in the dust. The verses are embellished with quaint devices. THE RAILWAY REGISTER. The present number brings the third volume to a con clusion. This valuable record of railway statistics is now the sole property of Mr. Hyde Clarke, who edits the Register, and who has amalgamated with it the Railway Portfolio. In addition to the usual information regarding the railway proceedings of the month, the pre sent number contains a valuable parer on " Atmospheric Propulsion,"4by Mr. Smith, of Toronto, Upper Canada. Mr. Smith proposes an entirely new plan of atmospheric propulsion, combining the advantages of propulsion by exhaustion, as used in what are commonly called atmo spheric railways, and propulsion by compression, as re commended by Mr. Nickells. Mr. Smith's proposals are most ingenious, and are well worthy the attention of engineers. We have not rect•ived either the New Monthly or Ainsworth's for the present month. LITERATURE. MEMOIRS OF A FEMME DE CHAMBRE. A Novel, in 3 Yds. By the Coun'ess of Blessington. This is a very amusing and interesting tale, or rather aeries of tales—the history of the heroine being only the connecting link to the histories of the numerous personages, of all classes and all characters, with whom The was, at various times, engaged. Following her career as governess, or femme de chambre, among the or dnary or the vulgar, the exclusive or the refined, we mingle with all ranks. Varying groups are brought befmre us, and all are portrayed en maitre. With e. tendency to exaggerate or even to caricature, which only renders her descriptions the more piquant, Lady Bless - ington presents us with a series of graphic portaits; and it 'rem the absence of one entire plot the work loses the concentrated interest of an ordinary- three-volumed novel, the deficiency is more than compensated by the amuse ment afforded by the separate fragments, and the bril liant vivacity of the whole. The most entertaining por tion is decidedly the last, where Selina becomes femme de chambre and compagne de voyage to Lady Caldersfoot, a (melt-imagined) authoress of celebrity. It was hardly to be supposed that such a character would- have been drawn by the pen of one an authoress herself, but its very exaggeration is its safety. It is of course unreal—it is of course impossible—but yet it is most amusing. Poor Lady Calderfoot, so conscious of her own abilities, so completely blind to her own de fects, our smiles accompany her through all her vagaries; whether walking in the streets, conspicuously dressed, she fondly believes the observation she attracts is due, not to her garments, but to her genius; or, again, when she favours the captain of the steamer with a sure pre ventive to sea-sickness, let him tuy her books for the benefit of his passen g ers—the consequent elevation of mind will maintain bodily equilibrium, or when she in sists that the French Douaniers shall let her boxes pass unsearched, because such a favour was voluntarily ac corded to Sir Walter Scott. Perhaps the bitterest mor tification of the unhappy lady is when calling incognita at the circulating libraries, she finds her books uncared for and unread. Such a disappointment will not, most certainly, await Lady Blessington should she be inclined to make a like attempt. LLEWELYN'S HEIR; or IVORLH WALES. A Novel. In 3 Vols. In giving these volumes to the public, the avowed ob ject of the authoress is " to offer to the world a true picture of the men and women of the land of Llewelyn— their customs, manners, and superstitions, as they ex isted during the last century,"--and this object she has very satisfactorily accomplished. Regarding this work, not as a novel, but as a picture of Wales and the Welsh, it is worthy of attention, and will be read with interest. The habits and manners of the simple children of the mountains, their rough pastimes, their superstitious ceremonies, but, above all, their genuine warmth, sim plicity, and kindness, are portrayed with singular mi nuteness, are dealt with con amore. Among sundry craps of information, we learn the origin of the well knawn " Welsh rabbit." The famous national dish of toasted cheese, when accompanied with toast steeped in strong ale, was called " the rare bit," and hence our present definition . Judging from these volumes, it appears that the people of North Wales, a hundred years ego, were in many respects as ignorant of our luxuries and refinements as are the North Indians of the present day. We have an amusing account of the dismay and discomfort experienced by a mountain family, on first riding in a coach, and the astonishment of a rustic Welshman. on seeing the lamps which lighted the metropolis, when he shrewdly enough exclaimed " What bad consciences the people of London must have, or else surely they would not be so much afraid of being in the dark. If, as It picture of Wales, this work fulfils its object. as a tale, as a novel , it is singularly - deficient. De ficient especially in two great properties, both of which are essential—one or other of which is indispensable— t a work of this character—interest and probability. We forgive the absurdities of the wildest romance because it attracts, it enchains our attention ; or, again, we pass over many a dull commonplace, because the whole has something of vraisemblablc, of zoal. But the interest of Llewelyn's heir is confined to the Welsh, as a people—little is left for the heroes and heroines. There is no story, no plot, save the slender thread which serves to connect the delineations and descriptions (which, after all, are the main object of the work) um il the close of the third volume, where, in its turn, probability isdone away with. Llewelyn's heir having joined the Duke of Marl borough's army, is supposed to be dead, his eldest sister (a most unnatural character) takes possession of his in heritance. On his return, some years after, she refuses to restore it, anctwith her knowledge and approbation he is murdered. Most of the dramatis personce are sum marily disposed of, and she is left alone with her ill gotten riches. FOREST HILL ; A TALE OF SOCIAL LIFE IN - 1830-1831. 3 Vols. If Forest Hill be the first work of its author, we an ticipate much from his hereafter. In any case, frag mentary portions of is book assure us, he is cap a bl e o f producing something far better as a whole. True an d beautiful thoughts, original ideas, are scattered about with profusion, and a tone of good. feeling pervades it all. Nor are the characters deficient in interest—and yet there is something amiss, there is evidently some thing wanting. This is, perhaps, owing to an absence of unity or concentration in the plot, or perhaps to the incongruous materials of which it is com posed, Ostensibly for the sake of illustrating social life in 1830, the author has, most unnecessarily and most unfortunately, intermingled private affairs of private English individuals with plots and conspiracies of secret societies abroad —a theme literally foreign to the subject. Had he wished to touch upon politics, for which he is apparently not unsu i te d , h e should have advanced th story a year or t wo , an d told of soc i a l lif e during the great strug g l e at h ome ; t h en, a l a bonne hdeu, it would have been we ll enoug h.

Verdnne, who i s c4appro priately described as unstable as water," is another Waverley or Vivian—another of those unhappy beings doomed by an unfortunate organisation " to see the right, and yet the wrong pursue." He involves himself and all around him in ap parently inextricable confusion ; yet, nevertheless, all ends well. One great object of this work, which is decidedly of a moral and even religious ten dency, is to lead us to place reliance u p on P rov id ence ; the third volume, concluding with the appropriate text, " Men see not the bright light in the clouds, till the wind passeth and cleanseth them ." Th e f o ll ow i ng specimens will show the political opinions of the writer : " Men of large landed property, who live only for them selves, who stickle for the privileges of their position, without casting a thought upon its duties, will not long be tolerated. There is a Catholic spirit abroad amongst us, both socially and politically; we are learning to think more of the human race. To do good in an extended scale, we must look, not upon men in masses, but regard each individual amongst them as one of a like nature with ourselves. * The next great European revolution will call upon men to account for the abuse of riches. The last punished fearfully a breach of the great trust of power. Then let each man of family and wealth lead the van in social improvement; and that the less fortunate may pardon him the prosperity which God has given him, let him seek to promote a feeling of kindness between his own order and the poor. To do this, let him keep his heart warm towards others. Let there be amongst all men a reciprocity dfiayerc which,e of good.

Poplars represent the f o r e i gn a d venturer. The walnut, beech, and chesnut, the middle class of gentry; while lower in the social scale we find the. apple, cherry, damson-tree, or pear. Thus far our analogy holds good, though hardly for the very poor. Perhaps these may be best typified in our present state of society by the waste undergrowth of an American forest, serving tiy their decay to nurture the more fortunate plants which rear their heads above them." Our author seems rz-ther addicted to finding similes for elevated subjects, among the well-known and com mon-place matters of every day life —as, for instance, " Imagination, like the Polytechnic, has its dissolving views." Again, where he speaks of " the telescope of faith "—an expression singularly felicitous (for does not Faith, like the telescope, make the things of distance appear near ?) and yet the comparison hardly accords with the due dignity of the subject. Our lady-readers will not admit the justice of the following sentiment:— " It requires an excess of moderation and patience to talk with a woman on the object of her love. We are most of us at such times so provokingly cpinionated ! Our pride and our affection so guard all avenues to the ' fort of reason,' that very little effect can be produced by the most disciplined attack of the besieger. Unless, indeed, a bomb falls in that powder-magazine—a woman's vanity. Then the explosion takes place within the walls, and pride and affection both perish amid the ruins." TURLOGH O'BRIEN. No. 111. We congratulate the author of this serial fiction upon a certain degree of i m p rovemen t i n it s com p os iti on ; and his readers will doubtless congratulate themselves upon the dramatic incidents which the plot is develop ing. The castle (in whose vicinity the occurrenc es o f the narrative have hitherto been laid) is subjected in the present number to a siege from certain predatory assailants ; but, as might have been predicated from preceding circumstances, the defenders promise to keep them at bay yet awhile, if not entirely to nullify their machinations. Phiz's illustration to this point of the story is a right spirited etching, the grouping of which is artistic ; and the attitudes into which several of the figures are thrown, though difficult in their extreme peculiarity, are nevertheless elegantly and naturally pen cilled. We have observed that the number as a literary composition is an improvement upon its predecessors, and it is so inasmuch as there is less of that wordiness which we have already particularised as most reprehen sible in the style of the writer. Our surprise at this peculiar failing in his productions is somewhat height ened, we will confess, at discovering in him one of the popular contributors to the Dublin University Magazine. We should have imagined the pupilage which he had undergone in lavishing his midnight oil upon that mis cellany would have diminished his reckless expenditure of diction. However, as he appears to have acquired an inkling of the blemish, we shall anticipate a modifica tion in his future use of abjectives. iVous verrons ! THE LA TV LEXICON; or, Dictionary of Jurispru • dente. By .I. J. S. Wharton, Esq., S.C.L., of St. Mary's College, Oxford. Part I. If the subsequent parts of this very useful compilation are equal to this; the first part, Mr. Wharton will have c •flterred a very great obligation on the public, and on the legal profession, by its publication. It is a work that has' to , g been wetted, for the existing law dictionaries have, in consequence of the numerous recent alterations in the law, become" almOst obsolete. Mr. Wharton pro tnises to give in this Law Lexicon an explanation of all the technical words and phrases employed in the several departments of English law, including the various legal terms used in commercial transactions, together with an explanatory as %Nell .as literal translation of the Latin maxims contained in the writings of the ancient and mo dern commentators. The first part contains the whole of the letter A, and he has, as far as he has gone, per formed his promise perfectly. As a specimen of the manner in which he has executed his task, we give his account of the rules to be observed in interpreting Acts of Parliament. " The principal rules for the interpretation of Acts of Par liament are the following:-1, That a statute begins to ope rate ..rom the time when it receives the royal assent, un less otherwise provided for. But where an Act expires before a Bill continuing it has received the royal assent, the latter Act takes effect from the expiration of the former, unless otherwise provided, and except as to penalty. (48 Geo. 111, c. 106). 2- It is to be construed equitably, not according to its mere letter, but the intent and object with which it was made ; 3, that these points be considered—the old law, the mischief, and the remedy ; 4, that a remedial statute be more liberally, and a penal more strictly con strued ; 5, in construing a statute, all other such statutes made in pan materid, ought to be taken into consideration ; 6, a statute which treats of things and persons of an inferior rank, cannot by any general words be extended to those of a superior ; 7, where the provision of a statute is general, everything which is necessary to make such provision effectual, is supplied by the common law ; 8, a subsequent statute may repeal a prior one, not only expressly but by implication, as when it is contrary thereto, i. e. so clearly repugnant that it necessarily implies a negative. But if the Acts can stand together, they shall have a concurrent effi cacy; 9, if a statute, that repeals another, is subsequently repealed, the repealed statute revives without any formal words ; and 10, Acts of Parliament derogatory from the power of subsequent Parliaments do not bind." HOW TO SPEAK AND WRITE FRENCH CORRECTLY. By D. AL Aird. We recently took occasion to recommend Mr. Aird's " Self-Instructing Grammar" to the notice of all stu dents in the French language, and we mentioned it as a really successful and meritorious undertaking. Many obstacles which had blemished the works of previous French grammarians were in that little volume re moved, or brought so nearly to a level with the under standing of youth, as to facilitate his progress in the acquisition of that knowledge very remarkably. In the present book we conceive that the author has attempted something yet more difficult—he has had more obstruc tions to subvert in its composition; he has had to tax his ingenuity and to simplify his explanations to an ex tent which we should imagine would have allayed his enthusiasm in the cause—but that the product of that enthusiasm is now lying upon our escritoire. Mr. Aird has evidently laboured, upon the principle that pronunciation can be taught through black and white, and he endeavours to prove the accuracy of that principle by publishing this volume. Now for our own part we aro sceptical, we snust acknow ,leJge, as to the possibility of learning the right pro nunciation of an idiom through anything but oral tuition. If we were all of us Mezzofantes, the im pediment would be merely nominal, but being as we are, and looking, for example, at some of those guttur al combinations o consonants in the German, we are (again we say it) sceptical. Howbeit, if the pronuncia tion of the French language can be taught " by the book," we would hazard the opinion that Mr. Aird's book will do so. That it will enable any one with ordinary capacity to write the language correctly we are satisfied, and that too in a remarkably short l eriod. The author will not accuse us of pedantry if we object to the publication in the first page of such an aphorism as— (, La terre tourne, mais non le soleil." It is an oversight which might impress the mind of childhood with a wrong image. The work, however, is good, and practically good. SOCIETY FOR PROMOTING AN AMENDMENT IN THE LAW. On Saturday a general meeting of the members and friends of the above society took place in their rooms, 21, Regent-street. The meeting was very numerously attendedby with nob lementhe anda,nd gentlemen, particularly those connected law,amongst those present were the Dukes of Rutland, Cleveland, and Richmond, the Marquises of Normanby and Clanricarde, Earl Radnor, Lords Monteagle, Beaumont, Denman, and Brougham, Sir John Stoddart, Mr. Sergeant D'Oyly, Mr. Commis sioner Fane, Mr. Commissioner Evans, &c., k°- Lord BROUGHAM was unanimously chair, and observed that they had met to of considerth law— subject of the promotion of the amendment called to the e e fourteen motnhs a r v d iew it views It It was within the last twelve or . a subject which required the most important considera that the time the on' esta blished on sound principles and during was that the society had been establirsahteid highly gratifying to state , soc i e ty had been in first operation, it had made °consi derable progress. They had formed the mse l ves " i nto co mmittees divided into the respective subjects of the criminal and equity law, as also the law affect ing real property, who had severally made reports, and it was at length thought time to call this general meeting to have the subjects explained. The subject was one in which he had long felt the deepest interest, and although he was aware that the public had been long doomed to disappointment, yet he thought the time of disappointment was past, and that the time for hope had arrived. He (Lord Brougham) had last ses sions introduced nine Bills to Parliament, four of which had become the law of the land, which were Acts for the extinction of terms, the promotion of cheap conveyance, and those of debtor and creditor, abolishing the imprisonment for debt ; the law of mesne process having been previously abolished. Im prisonment for debt bad now ceased to exist in this country, only as far as regarded punishment for crime. It had been found that arrest in execution was of no earthlx use whatever, the steps to whi c h were twelve, as stated by Mr. Commissioner Fane, all causing considerable expense to thecreditor. Any man could now apply for protection to the Court of Bankruptcy, and un less guilty of gross fraud or extravagance, that protection would be granted. As regarded what might be deemed extravagance, he would cite that of a man being pos sessed only of ss. going into Storr and Mortimer's and ordering goods to the amount of 100/.---(Hear, hear) — and then cheating them of their money. There was great difference of opinion as to the abolition of the imprisonment for debt, and the general opinion was that the Legislature had gone a little too far in the favour of the debtor, but they could not return. They could not stop, and therefore they ought to give every aid to the creditor. A case had occured in the Bank ruptcy Court, where a man had by defrauding his creditors got 7001. in his possessio n , with vvhWh he again set up in business, in the very town where he had cheated his creditors. With a view of correcting such a state of things, he intended to submit a Bill next sessions. It was important to punishes man for fraud and extravagance, but the Act for Abolishing Imprison ment for Small Debt had been passed in conse quence of the representation of such unspeakable horrors as were endured by those imprisoned for small debts, nho it was shown, suffered mor e th an those imprisoned for crimes ; and that, too, probably for debts rot exceed ing 405., mom , than would be endured for a debt of 4001. ___(Hear, hear.) It was, however, found that the A fter and alluding criminal to inai ma jority of debts were under 201 ., and now most men too k care the a n n o o t m t a o l i e e x s ce of the law, edl9i.o both rl9 civil 191. jurisdiction, his Lordship said that as every stihjoct was boun 1 to obey the law. t , ey were entitled to know what were the law, they had to obey, particularly as to the criminal law, of whit h they ought to have a code they could d and Hi Lordilip concluded by ca'ling on L r I MON TEAGLE, who proposed a resolution to the Pl , , 'effect.

He was of opinion that there should be a court of mediatiom, a judge at chambers as in common-law. Take for example a maa having a legacy of 1001. ; it would be all absorbed by the present mode of procedure in the Court of Chancery, but might be cheaply arranged by an appeal to a judge at chambers. Lord BROUGHAM said, that the latter suggestion was entitled to the highest consideration. [Here Lord Denman entered the room, and was re ceived with hearty cheers]. Mr. Commissioner PANE said that although there were not less than 1,000 dishonest to one honest debtor, yet he thought that the laws did not yet sufficiently protect an honest debtor, while they were not stringent enough for a dishonest debtor, or considerate to a creditor. The Learned Commissioner concluded by moving a resolution for the improvement of the law in the above respect, which was seconded by T. ELLIOTT, Esq., and carried unanimously. The Duke of RICHMOND said that in his magisterial capacity he was frequently called upon to administer laws which were a disgrace to the statute-book. Chil dren of nine, ten, and eleven years of age, at the sessions found guilty of minor charges of felony, and being branded with felony, it was dif ficult afterwards to get th em to pursue an hunest course, and under all circumstances he should be de sirous to get rid of such an evil. The Noble Duke concluded by moving a resolution for the amendment of the criminal law. The motion was seconded by the Marquis of NOR• MANBY. and carried unanimously. After thanks to the Noble Chairman, the meeting broke up. VISIT OF PRINCE ALBERT AND THE ROYAL CHILDREN TO THE SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS: On Saturday his Royal Highness Prince Albert, accompanied by the Prince of Wales, the Princess Royal, and the Princess Alice, and attended by Colonel Bouverie and the Dowager Lady Lyttelton, paid a visit to the Surrey Zoological Gardens. At ten o'clock it was announced to Mr. Tyler, the proprietor of the g•irdens, that his. Reval ..Highness Prince Albert and the royal children had just drawn up to the New-street entrance to the gardens. That gentleinan, who up to that moment was q&te uncon scious of the honour of a royal visit, hurried to the gate, and was in time to receive his royal and distinguished visitors. The Prince, nceotopanied by the childrer, and attended, as above stated, by Lady Lyttelton and Colonel•Bouverie„ perambulated the gardens fur nearly an hour, and attentively viewed the varied scenes and objects there. The antelopes recently presented by her Gracious Majesty to the proprietor of the gardens were viewed by the royal party, as were also the wild ani mals; but the view of Mount Vesuvius, painted by Danson on about a couple of acres of canvas, seemed to attract the particular attention, not only of the royal parent, but of his Royal Highness's beautiful and inte resting children. The royal party left the gardens by the entrance in Manor-place, but before doing so Prince Albert ex pressed to Mr. Tyler his gratification at the arrange ments of the entire establishment under his ma nagement. MARY LEBONE VESTRY. THE RECENT CHARGES OF JOBBING AND MISMANAGEMENT AGAINST THE WEST MINSTER COMMISSIONERS OF SEWERS. On Saturday, at the meeting of the Maryleboae Vestry, the Rev. Dr. Spry in the chair, the principal special business of the day was to consider the report of a committee appointed to investigate the allegations against the Court of Commissioners of Sewers for West minster, and part of Middlesex, made in a pamphlet published by Mr. Leslie, a member of the Court, to gether with the reply of the Commissioners, by order of the Secretary of State. The question appeared to excite considerable interest, and nearly all the members of the vestry, who happen also to belong to the Commission, were present. Mr. WATTS, the deputy vestry clerk, read the report, which, after setting forth that the Committee had had the co-operation of various other metropolitan parishes, which had sent deputations to assist in the investigation, proceeded to state " that the Committee, as well as such deputations, were unanimously of opinion that great abuses have existed in the management of the Commis sion of Sewers, the whole of which abuses they consider to have arisen from the irresponsible constitution of the Court. The Committee, therefore, recommend that petitions be presented from the vestry to Parliament, praying that the Sewer Commission may be based upon the truly English principle of representative right, and that the representatives at thatßoard be in future elected by the ratepayers of the several parishes, in such a moveW r eportnths:.

The time had arrived wh€n the com mission should be elected on the principles of repre sentation, and that those who paid the rates should have a voice in the selection of those who were to disburse them. Ile would now move the adoption of the report, and would, if the motion was carried, move a subsequent resolution, empowering the committee to draw up a petition for presentation to Parliament. If ther e Mr. SODEN seconded the resolution. attemp t e was sno other ground for making a determ i n edsent unconstitutional abo lish the sewer' commission, e_p th or the re court wassu fficient. Mr. irresponsible constitutionf rom . Mr. Casnx.Es ELLIOTT differed entirely the views and seconder of the report. H taken by the mover H e con sidered, with regard to the constitution of a body lik e the Court of Sewers, a more mischievous system could not be adopted than by making it a representative board. He (Mr. Elliott) had been a number of the Sewer Commission for a great many years ; ten years, h a d, however, elapsed since he had set his foot in the commissioners' board-room, and he would tell them the reason—it was because he was disgusted with their proceedings. (Hear, hear.) The board was always attended by a parcel of builders and surveyors, who were continually squabbling and jobbing to get sewers made, which would be of advantage to themselves, and doing other acts which were for their own profit, and their own benefit. (Cries of "Hear, hear," and cheers.) The reason he objected to the representative principle was because he thought a court for suc h ob j ects as the Court of Se wers ought to be composed of scientific men, and that such me n ought to be paid for their services. It was true that Mr. Saunders, the chairman of the court for many years, was a scientific man, and so was the late chairman, Mr. Donaldson ; but they could not expect gentlemen to lose their time and trouble far no thing. He considered that all such commissions ought to be in the hands of Government, and that the chair man, at least, should be a surveycr or a scientific man, and receive a Government stipend. Mr. Hope, :Mr. Joseph, Mr. Solomons, Mr. G. Daniell, and several other gentlemen spoke upon the subject. Mr. WILSON replied, and, on the question being put, the report was adopted unanimously. The matter was then referred back to the committee to draw up a petition to Parliament, which was t o be presented to the vestry on Sa turday next.
