We must not omit to mention some thoughtful and suggestive Verses by Miss Anna Drury,. entitled, " Working Hours." There are other papers of more or less merit, but most of them rather heavy in style and character.

Bronchitis was much more fatal than in any previous week of the present winter season, 316 persons having died from this disease. Pneumonia, on the contrary, shows a somewhat lower mor tality than the average; it carried off 93 persons. Two hundred and three deaths occurred from phthisis 86 from diseases of the heart, and 183 from diseases of the brain and nervous system. Thirty-eight persons were killed by accidents, 16 deaths occurred from fractures or contusions, 3 children and 2 adults died from burns or scalds, 5 persons were drowned, and 9 infants and one adult were suffocated. Two persons committed suicide, and two infants were murdered. MAGAZINE DAY. PRICE 4d. STAMPED sd. his last assertion is somewhat puzzling. The letter which he quotes, explaining Lincoln's course on the subject of slavery, and which he praises as the expression of " a modest and patient sagacity,"-would be sufficient of itself, one would think, to nndeceiveLincoln's wannest admirers as to the fervour and sincerity of the President's abolition principles. lint it is impossible for some men to detect the inconsistencies of their political idols. Professor Goldwiu Smith denies that Lincoln is a cruel man, and declares that he is most averse to the execution of even a deserter or a spy. But what can we think of the humanity of a ruler who puts such a man as Butler it, absolute command of a captured city; who, if he has not directly commanded cruelties like the desolation of -the Shenandoah. has at least sanctioned them by permitting his agents to carry them out. But Professor Smith thinks that, judging from the President's words and acts,„.‘ no man can be more deeply imbued with - reverence for liberty and law, or more sineerely desirous o 3 identifying his name with the preser vation of free institti Hons. - So that the inferences which he derives from facts are opposed to those drawn by most men. An article on "State Medicine"-treats especially of our legal dealings with lunacy. The remedy which the writer proposes for the present unsatisfactory state .pf things is the institution of a 1)1 . 34 - of properly qualified scientific commissioners, whose rep6rt to the court should be-accepted as final.

Another tale; " The Colonel's Valentine. - is7.-Inelndramatic in its cha racter. Happily, however. all comes right at last, in spite of an awkward blunder through the omission of a Christian name.

The second part of ‘tSocial Sketches" treats of the con ventionalities of lift, and satirises some customs more venerable than respectable.

CHARLES EDWARD MUDIE, New Oxford-street, London. HEALTH OP LONDON. (From the Registrar-General's Weekly Return.) The population of the ten principal cities of the United Kingdom is increasing at so rapid a rate that it is necessary to take the increase into account in calculating, for the weepy table, their mortality. And by the best estimates that can bo framed from the census their population will amount •to 5,524,012 in the middle of the present year ; London counting for 3,015,494, Edinburgh for 174,180, Dublin for 254,808, Liverpool for 476,368, Manchester and Salford for 465,763, Glasgow for 423,723, Birmingham for 327,842, Leeds for 224,025, and Bristol for 161,809. The population of all the ten cities has overflowed their limits; and even the lines of boundaries traced at the date of the Reform Bill, in the interval of a generation, are already antiquated. . The question of the health of the ten cities is of para mount importance, for diAeases from afar find homes in them, or growing epidemics radiate from their centres through the whole population. Their leaven leavens the whole lump; as their intelligence agitates the mass of the nation. The deaths of the week ending on Saturday last were 3,469, the births 3,643. The rate of mortality (per 1,000 per annum) was 33 in the ten cities—namely, 30 in Lon don, 32 in Edinburgh, 39 in Dublin, 42 in Liverpool, 40 in Manchester, 29 in Salford, 36 in Glasgow, 32 in Birming ham, 29 in Leeds, and 30 in Bristol (exclusive of its large workhouse). All these rates are above the average of their respective cities, which is in part due to the winter weather. The mean annual mortality of healthy places is, it will be recollected, 17 in 1,000. If the attention of the Emperor of the French could be drawn to this subject, we should, no doubt, have: similar returns for comparison not only from the great cities of his empire, but from all the great cities of Europe. The influence of the cold weather on the lives of the population is apparent in the increased mortality in Lon don. In the week that ended on Saturday last the deaths of 1,747 persons were registered; in the previous week the number was 1,585. In the corresponding weeks of ten years, 1855-64, the average number of deaths is, with a correction for increase of population, 1,591. The deaths in the present return, therefore, exceed by 156 the esti mated number. Three hundred and fifty-nine persons died last we e k from.zymotic diseases, the correct average number b e i ng 331. Whooping-cough is the most fatal disease in the list, having carried off 81 children ; 5 of these cases were regis tered in the sub-district of St. Peter, Walworth, and 4 in that of St. Paul, St. George's-in-the-East. Seventy-six deaths were caused by typhus, 14 by small-pox, and 26 by measles. The deaths of 5 children from measles in the workhouse, St. Martin-in-the-Fields, were recorded. Fifty seven deaths occurred from scarlatina, and 17 from diph theria. Throe persons died from diphtheria at Dartmouth-, terrace, Forest-hill. Four huz(teci and wyenty-two dothg r:i'Mocl by The Fatal Accident in the Blackheath Railway Tunnel. Yesterday afternoon at 3 o'clock Mr. C. J. Carttar, coro ner for West Kent, resumed the inquiry at the Railway Tavern, Lee, into the circumstances attending the deaths of five men named Wade, Jones, Smith, Morris, and Seeby, platelayers, in the service of the South-Eastern Railway Company, who were killed by the collision which took place between a passenger and a ballast train in the Blackheath tunnel of the North Kent line, on the night of Friday, the 16th December. Mr. Edward Duncan Chapman, station master at Black heath, was re-examined, and said it was about three-quai ters of a mile from the Blackheath entrance of the tunnel to the spot where the accident occurred. The witness then, in reply to the coroner, minutely detailed the whole of the signals relative to the up and down traffic, received and for warded at the Blackheath station on the afternoon of the 16th December. Thomas Randall, the breaksman of the ballast-train in question, and who left the Royal Marine Hospital about a week since, stated that he had been in the service of the South-Eastern Railway Company about six years, and at the time of the accident he had been employed as a breaksman about three weeks. He was with the ballast train on the afternoon of the 16th of December, and was certain that when the train stopped at the Charlton station the tail lamps wore lighted. These lamps were lighted at Dart ford. He received no particular instructions from Lancaster, the guard of the train, before it left Charlton. The train, on entering the tunnel, proceeded for some distance at about the usual speed. It was very foggy and dark in the tunnel. Witness had a hand-lamp, which he used when required. The lights from the tail lamps could not be seen more than a yard or two, in conse quence of the fog. When the train had proceeded some dis tance up the tunnel it became very steady and ultimately came to a stand. He immediately turned on his break in order to prevent the train from going back, knowing that it was on an incline. He heard some of the platelayers cry out, "Break on, Tom," but he could not say whose voice it was. After putting on his break he was in the act of getting down from his carriage to use some fog signals when the up passenger train ran into the ballast train. He was thrown over the buffers and under the engine, and did not for some time remember what took place. By the Coroner—He was certain that he did not speak to Lancaster, and did not see him. It would be the duty of the guard to come and see me before he divided the train. James Jones, the acting si na ru at the Blaekkettg ctattnn --- aft the night o'r ilrunlrTa . Be said, after being cautioned by the Coroner, it was his wish to give every information in his power respecting the matter, which he should deeply deplore as long as he lived. The witness then read the following statement :—I entered the company's service two years last August as porter, which situation I held up to a week previous to the accidcnt,when I was placed in the signal-box to do duty for the signalman, who, was ill. I don't believe I had done more than 20 hours' duty in the signal-box, that is to say, when there was any signalling to do, before I took charge of it, so that my pre vious experience was but little. However, when I took the duty, I hoped I should have been able to have performed it satisfactorily. My duties were to attend to the signal-box from 7 in the morning till 6 in the evening, with the excep tion of one hour allowed for dinner. After coming out of the box at 6 I had to await the arrival and to attend the 6.17 down train. Whilst in the box I had to receive and give telegraphic signals to and from Lewisham station, and to and from Angerstein. I had besides to enter signals in five different places for each train in the signal-book. In addi tion I had for each train or engine to attend to the sema, phore and distance signals, and upon each train passing to show my flag or hand signal that all was right. I will now state briefly the circumstances connected with this lament able accident, so far as I am able, and in doing so it will be necessary for me to show the traffic that passed through the station within three-quarte r s of an hour of it. (The witness then recapitulated the number of trains which passed through the tunnel, and the number of signals he gave during the time stated, from which it appeared that the traffic was especially heavy at that period of the day.) I believe I had in addition the block signal prior to the coal train signal from Angerstein, but this I am not quite sure without seeing the train service book. It had been the practice prior to this day to send the coal train off first from our station; and I was ordered by the head porter to keep the coal train and send the empties off first, which was the cause of the ballast train being kept at Charlton. During this time the traffic was very great, and I felt it was as much as I could do to attend to it properly. After the coal train was the 4 5 express gonee,anredss signallhadg down;iventhe line clear to Angerstein I had and after passing that on to Angerstein andrec,eiving "Line clear," I had the 4 20 express signal down. Somebody at the time came running out of the telegraph office telling me there was a train wait ing at Charlton. This message, together with the heavy traffic then taking place, caused me to get confused, and I gave the signal " Line clear." I was so confused I did not know what I was about, so much so that I was very much u the s rp t e r e e g d r a t p o h fi i n n d e ss it a w g e a , s a t n h d e louctosuidlde havep O r te i r xnsp w lgvr who sworn b oh arintogduwg asahs t m passed on e o o n f r th s e ta te ti l o e n gr l ap th h o b n o g y h s t . I A ha ft d er do th ne e d so o m w e n th e re gardst he signalling. I immediately sent for Mr. Chapman, the moment know stationmaster, of the totellhi a m ee what I had e came done. down Id not at that half of the ballast train had passed the station. He came to me, and I think I told him what had taken place as to my signalling. All would have been well if I had been left alone, and had not received a telegraph message, which seemed wholly to confuse me. In reply to the Coroner, the Witness said he always felt a little nervous in the afternoon, when working signals, in consequence of the large amount of work to be done, and his little experience. The ballast train being so long behind worried him a great deal. He was well acquainted with the signals, but he was inexperienced, and thought it required a man to have constant practice before ho got the "nerve" for such onerous duty. By the Jury—He was 24 years of age. He had never, to his recollection, been so pressed before as he was on that afternoon. _ _ By Mr. Chapman (the Blackheath stationmaster)—l never said to you that the duty was too much for me, The Coroner having summed up, The Jury retired for upwards of an hour, and returned to the inquest-room with the following verdict against James Jones, the " porter, We fin error a of his transmit ting the wrong signal arose from . his not being sufficiently d an a d ve w rd e ic c t on of s r manslaughter experienced as a signalman. With regard to Lancaster, the jury are of opinion that Lancaster, having gone to the rear of the train, omitted his duty by not taking the usual pre cautions to prevent the accident, as laid down by the rules of the company, he having had sufficient time to do so. The jury are also anxious to call attention to the following recommendation : " That it is desirable that the company should enforce the strict carrying out of their own rules in an cases, and that in cases of special trains not in the time-book such trains should be telegraphed by the speaking instrument, and that any improvement that could be made in the tun nel for ventilation would be most desirable."' The Coroner then made out his warrant for the committal of Jones and Lancaster for manslaughter, and said he would accept bail in their personal recognisance of £lOO each, and two sureties of £5O each. The requisite bail was then tendered and accepted, and the proceedings terminated. SACRILEGE AT SYDENTIAM CHURCH. —Yesterday F . :3 mite men employed in clearing the snow from the roof of the church of St. Bartholomew, Sydenham, incautiously left a door of the building open, and some thieves entered, carrying away the altar cloth and other articles. BLACKWOOD.—" Miss Marjoribanks" is the title of a new story begun in this number. It contains the account .of one of those " Carlingford " notabi lities who have already become so famous through the skill of their Chronicler. The .. heroine is a very peculiar style of young lady, who seems intent on having her own way. The tale promises to be as interest ing as its predecessors, and it is but fair that a lady should now be selected to depict the genius and peculiarities of the town of famous memory. "A Visit to the Cities and Camps of the Confederate States" is concluded, and the reader will find in its accounts much useful information' and valuable details. It is curious to notice that the introduction of cotton is comparatively recent, for in 1774 a gentleman in England wrote out to his agents in Charles ton to attempt the cultivation of a sufficient- amount of cotton to supply the negroes on his plantation with.home spun. The accounts of the arrivals of the successful blockade runners are very entertaining. A bill of fare at one of the hotels is put in as counter-evidence to the report that the South are nearly starved out, and certainly it gives no idea of very mean or scanty provisions. " Knight errantry in the Nineteenth Century" is an amusing article that presents some curious sketches of the Englishman abroad. It is not the rule, but the exception, that - is here depicted ; but still the accounts cannot fail to provoke a smile from all who peruse them. " Modern Demonology" very properly 'censures the extravagant oti max..-,fie people entertain nowaffaf spiritualiSin, and forcibly winds up its arguments by declaring that "it matters not whether the manifestations be real or pre tended ; if the former, those who seek for and solicit them are dabbling in a forbidden act ; if the latter, they are miserably duped." Such a conclusion is the best way of putting down the intolerable assumptions of those who declare themselves capable of revealing what is beyond the ken of man to proclaim, and utterly impossible for finite powers to accomplish. " Etoniana, Ancient and Modern," is the first part of a very interesting account of that attractive home of learning,. where "grateful science still adores her Henry's holy shade." It will be found worthy of perusal, and many an old Etonian may dwell with delight on this historic sketch of a scene dear to me mory, and fraught with old recollections. " Cornelius O'Dowd," as usual, is instructive as well as entertaining. " Going into Parliament" is a very good description, and ably depicts the advantages offered by such a position, and the fair play accorded to the member at St. Stephen's. " The Right Honourable William Gladstone" is the first part of a comprehensive sketch of that eminent man's career; it is ably done, and brings before us many of the prevailing characteristics of the man as displayed at an early age. Mr. Gladstone early revealed the promise of his great powers, and it is very interesting to find the connec tion between youth and manhood thus strikingly put be fore us. He early displayed the extraordinary command o language which has been so prominent a part of his quali fications for renown in later years. This paper goes 'fully into the more notable details of his political career, and furnishes altogether a capital chronicle of the life of one who is one of the leading men of his time, while apart from his present position he possesses abilities that would in any sphere rank him as among the present men of his generation a member of that class which influences and impresses the community by intellect of a high order. DUBLIN.—A readable article is met with, entitled " About Charles Lamb, his Friends and Books." It reveals many of the characteristics of that dis tinguished man, and may be read with advantage by those who would be put au courant with the style of his times and the sphere of his occupations. Some of Lamb's droll sayings are here narrated, and form a collection of most ludicrous specimens of the highest order of fun. "Who is the Heir ?" is continued, and brings some striking scenes before us. There are all sorts of chances and changes befalling the dramatis person& contained in these pages, and Guy Luttrell is quite the hero of the scene, with his old and new loves. The incident of the plate chest is an effective interlude that adds to the excitement of the narration, and forms a good sketch of some droll characters. Lord Derby's " Iliad of: Homer" is continued, and receives its due 'need of appro bation. After an interesting analysis of the previous translations of , that immortal production, it is observed that this last, in some respects, is the best of all that have appeared. It is said that •if translations of t1),4--ohl -I`;`*464-1.Y3142/140tintergreletitiie--iinie-ti'raik- mtcorti.' ing to their skill and workmanship, there " can be little hesitation in asserting that the work of Lord Derby brings us nearer the presence and mirrors ;the morning star of Greek poetry,'in its simple light and majesty, more perfectly than any Other in English literature." . " Guy Deverell" is continued, and the tale goes on much the same as before, with its mystery and marvels ingeniously woven together. " The Dead Language" is a very pleas ing little poem, by the Countess of Gifford. It is full of melancholy truths and, solemn reflections, and well car ries out the idea with which it is impressed. " Elizabeth Farren, an Irish Actress," brings us to the termination of her brilliant career, when she passed from the scene of her histrionic splendours to appear as one of England's countesses. The last article met with is a very excellent one, on " Phases of Social Life." it brings before us many of the evils that now exist, and some of the worst dangers that we incur in our present over-forced style of exist ence. It is powerfully written, and merits a careful sur vey. The over haste to be rich, which is the chief blight of the present age, is sketched with such exactitude to reality that no one can gainsay its truthfulness:or deny its force of application. From showing the harm thus wrought to individuals, it goes on to depict the evils accruing to a nation; and there can be no doubt that im portant truths of a national character are contained in this sketch TEMPLE BAR.—The readers of this magazine will be pleased to meet with a new tale by the author of "Lady Audley's Secret." She is certainly a most indefatigable contributor to public amuse ment, and scarcely has one tale been concluded before another appears, with all its intensity of excitement and depth of interest. "Sir Jasper's Tenant" commences well, but as yet the story cannot be judged of. George Pauncefort is already a prominent personage, and the "bruised and tattered wanderer in African wilder nesses will doubtless ere long be associated in many minds as the hero of startling adventures and the subject of speculative inquiry. " Through Wilts" brings before us a pleasant picture of that part of the country, and by its historical anecdotes and ingenious descriptions may well beguile a weary hour, and attract the notice of the reader. In the "Streets of the World," we find the Grand Canal of Venice pictured to us in the writer's usual brisk and de cided style. In his quaint manner ho informs us that the Grand Canal is Venice, and Venice is the Grand Canal ; everything else, whether islet or minor canal, is subsidiary to it. "Recent Criticism on Tennyson" furnishes us with some appropriate suggestions, and well declares that una nimity of opinion is undesirable, and that if the time should come " when everyone agrees with everyone else, why then all intellectual progress will be at an and ; life will have lost its interest, and a state of stagnation will ensue, to which one may hope Providence would somehow put an end.' " David Chantrey" is continued, and increases in interest. The description of Mrs. Chantrey's compositions is very peculiar, and she certainly pursued her literary labours under difficulty. " English Dragoons and their Horses'i is the subject of a paper that contains some very useful hints as to the better management of this division of our troops. Live and learn is a truism very slow of recog nition by our authorities at the Horse Guards ; but the writer of this article very freely declares that experience has shown how deficient in management are these dragoons,who are kept for show, and not for use. They might charge into the valley of death, like the six hundred, but their horses -would die in a winter campaign, like those of our cavalry before Sebastopol. There is great force in this argument, and it deserves attention ; and it cannot be gainsaid that an unwelcome hint exists in this last pas sage. An army, with one arm wanting in many quali fications, cannot be deemed perfect, and we pay far too much for our land forces to .be content with anything short of perfection. " Paid in Full" becomes more excit ing as it approaches completion ; and Horace is again on the look-out for adventures, while Ledbitter plies his task of vengeance with deadly spirit and ceaseless vigi lance. MAcmiLLAN's.—Henry Kingsley's story of " The llillyars and the Burtons" is continued with anima tion, and is now approaching its conclusion. Abrupt, disconnected, and extravagant enough, it yet pos sesses a degree of vigour and originality not often met with in the sensation literature of the day. In the current number events progress rapidly. Poor worth less Sir George ends his miserable career, and a singular chain of events brings his old associate and quondam ser vant, the convict Samuel Burton, to his death-bed. Strange things are discovered respecting Reuben's parentage, and he steps into the baronetcy undisputed. The Australian part of the story narrates the adventures of Erne and Tom Williams on their perilous expedition to Omeo. Erne is not dead, though he has but a narrow escape from a dread ful ending. Professor Goldwin Smith, differing from the body of his countrymen on most points, is certainly pecu liar in his opinion of Abraham Lincoln. " Whether he is a great man or not, he is at least an honest ono ; he can feel responsibility ; and his re-election was to be desired not only for the good of his country, but for the peace of f h world." Such on are the closing words of a b rief essay they 1 e American President, and it is well for th e writer that form his concluding sentence, for bow be would support 0 0 11 .nd Sci -- 60 5 8 to airernr Theeat WaS t Thrf s ' e de/110 business IE I 3 is to Bs; ley ;tone. 136 ,-0 ; to 29 0 P e to pe , 3 per 2 4 Pe i stone. 0 14 )f the weft p f, business f ig corn ° • 36 0 34 4 • B'l 8 '1 4 4'2r ; • • " •• • • .-0 0 cAr.• • go -358 Picks y 350 1-I `?t, a slow 3 .3P 3 0# n;t11:-.5580 3:0:4 ***** ,368 Aw il4 trters cll.— ;ive lb 1)116118i' bef' Its bits IkeI; bushel, boll oi ~;3 0 0) sack of slow!

He promises in his next and last paper to give us some memorials of three distinguished. individuals—Hugh Miller, Dr. Samuel Brown, and Thomas de Quincey—a worthy conclusion to an interesting series. CORNHILL.—" Armadale" is continued at some length, and the scenes depicted are of a very myste rious character. The Shadows of the Past and of the Future haunt the record of these incidents, and the particular style of the author is here exemplified to great advantage. There is something vividly dramatic in the occurrences that took place on the timber ship, and the great contrast that existed in the characters of the two men so strangely situated is depiCted with an artistic skill that irresistibly arrests the reader's attention. " Orvieto" is an interesting sketch that will please there fined and intellectual from its appreciation of art, and its skill of observation. It gives a good definition of some striking specimens of a high order of merit, and transports one in imagination to the subdued gloom of a mediEeval chapel adorned with works of immortal grace and genius. Yet even there the present jars upon the past, as it is forcibly described—" How strange it is to hear that faint strain of a feeble opera sounding where a short while since the trumpet blast of Signorelli's angels seemed to thrill our ears." " Tid's old Red Rag of a Shawl" is a pleasing little narrative,ithat brings some simple events before us, and shows how the kindly action may, be returned a hun dred-fold in the days of trouble. " The Rise of Roman Imperialism" is an article of a superior style, that suggests some ideas worthy of consideration concerning the inci dents of that eventful epoch. Wives and Daughters" in this number is prolific of incidents, while the story rapidly hastens on. Poor, good Mrs. Ilamley passes out of the tale for ever, and a new character, gay and sparkling, is intro duced. Cynthia returns from France, and instantly asserts her influence, 'very different one from that of quiet little Molly, or pretending Mrs. Gibson. Other things of a start ling character - are also introduced, and the narrative begins to assume the position of a highly complicated domestic history. " University Life" is a capital sketch, that will recall to the minds of many their residence at Alma Mater, while to novices it furnishes an entertaining record of the doings in such places —an epitome of an under-graduate's • career, while at. college Some of the anecdotes that are interpolated in this lively sketch are most amusing, and agreeably break the mono tony of description. The writer enters fully into the charm of these early days, and the regret with which from the duller scenes of after years they are looked back upon : " We doubt whether life affords many happier hours than those college wines,'',when five or six congenial com panions gather round the fire in a snug room, in all the exuberance of youth and hope." " Winter Shooting" is a. paper suited to tii .. = 4 ; 4 l4 .4 cf : a„ certain .4 rss of 'readers. . , - , ," igratch . • mysteries to which it refers. " Bohemia and Bohemianism" is a very readable article, which pictures to us a particular " set" who are themselves, their lives and actions, alike a warning and an illustration. Some of the sketches intro- duced are most admirably described, and one feels some thing akin to regret as one peruses the record of such lost chances and thrown away talents, opportunities heedlessly neglected, and positions of eminence despised for a place . . that is neither allowed or accepted. Some of the anecdotes that are given of their peculiarities are most entertaining, and reveal a spirit and style worthy of a better cause. It is said, in summing up the character of this class, that they are of some service in their generation, and do more than the common place of a demurer style, and more circum spect behaviour. " What is called Bohemianism in a word gives a certain freshness and colour to life which is not appreciated without inquiry ; its gas is in your fiction and art, making them brisk and enlivening as your champagne ; it breaks the inaction:of industry, and checks the excesses of cant ; and while the evil side of it brings its own punish ment, its good element works too in the world, and entitles it at all events to a special notice in any account of the varieties of modern life." THE ST. JAMES'S MAGAZINE.--" Only a Clod" still occupies a prominent position in these pages. The story advances rapidly in this part. Francis Tredethlyn marries Maude Hillary ; with but a shadowy prospect of happiness, however, for Har court Lowther has appeared like an evil genius upon the scene, and is busy making mischief between them. Another trace is discovered of the missing Susan, who, it seems, Vvas really married before a registrar, though whether under a false name or a true one remains to be seen. Meanwhile Tredethlyn's fortune is melting, not withstanding his simple tastes, thanks to Lowther's assistance and Mr. Hillary's difficulties. Whether the loss of it will bring all parties to their senses remains to be seen. An article on the " Transatlantic Press" enters very fully into the peculiarities of American journalism, drawing no very favourable or pleasant picture. The clever papers are unscrupulous, the re spectable ones stupid. Such is the substance of the opi nion delivered by one who seems to know them well. "As the press becomes more unexceptionable in a moral point of view, it also becomes more stupid. When it turns the cold shoulder to exaggeration and turpitude, it is to worship at the shrines of dulness and vacuity. As it becomes noted for having a good character, it becomes equally cele brated for being a bore. There seems to be no conception of a just medium, no idea that anewspaper can be sprightly without being licentious, or satirical without being per sonal." This is not a very hopeful picture of the journalism of a free people, but we must hope the great tragedy of the time will produce some elevating effect upon it. "Touch ing Dead Plays" is a paper worth reading ; it treats of dramas and dramatists, which, if not altogether forgotten, are remembered by little more than the name. The varied career of the Countess of Albany, wife of the last of the House of Stuart, who bore a Royal title, is sketched with interest, and Sir Lascelles Wraxall describes a visit to the camp at Chalons in his usual lively style. We have the first part of an entertaining story, called My Uncle's Honeymoon," whose plot is not too obscure, and a short tale called "Tired of the Backwood." There are, besides, some amusing gleanings from a parish register, and a fur ther instalment of Paul Feval's romance "Working in the Dark." THE ENGLISHMAN'S MAGAZINE. No. 2. Riving tons.—This new corner in the world of serials is of a more solid character than most of its older but gayer contemporaries. It commences with the first part of an essay on " The. Volcanos of Auvergne," in which we find an account of the period of the freshwater lakes. The wonderful changes of which this district of Central France bears record are sufficiently in teresting to attract not only the attention of the man of science and the geologist, but of the general reader, and this article is especially adapted for such perusal, since Ai .: written simply and naturally with an avoidanc e of J2lol technicalities.

Here are models full of instruction and inspiration for the modern architect, and it is a pity they are so little studied. A paper " On the Study of Mathematics" treats of the vast THE SIXPENNY MAGAZINE.—We have here a plentiful supply of light and entertaining literature for leisure hours. The style of the contents has improved of late, and there are often really pleasing stories. " The Fate of Thorsghyll" is, indeed, of rather a gloomy and sensational character, but there are others which are briefer and less sombre. A descrip tion of " Night Nursing in a Lunatic Asylum" shows us one of the dreariest phases of attendance upon the afflicted, and there are other papers of interest. The story of "The Talisman" is not original, being found in an old volume of the Romance of History. A paper on " Temperaments" is somewhat superficial in its treatment, but there is enough to amuse the reader who is not over critical. Foreip Commercial Treaties. The Right Hon. W. Hutt, the Vice-President of the Board of Trade, took the chair at the annual meeting of the Newcastle Chamber of Commerce on Monday. In his opening address Mr. Hutt said, — The Board of Trade is desirous to see Chambers of Commerce not only established, but generally and actively supported by the great firms and houses of business in their respective localities ; because, by this arrangement the Chambers of Commerce can act most efficiently as organs of communication in all commercial and industrial matters between the communities they represent and the Executive Go vernment. It is very desirable at this moment that Chambers of Commerce should be well :supported by the country, for we are apparently on the eve of some great and important changes in the commer cial policy of 'most of the States of Europe. France, as you know very well, had the honour—and it is an honour that belongs to that gifted and glorious country—of initiating on the Continent of Europe the application of scientific principles to commercial regulations. This important step is now manifestly about to be followed by one still more grave and equally important—l mean the thorough revision of the navigation laws of France. Well, this is a movement of great interest to you ; it is of great in terest not only on account of its own commerce, but because France, in adopting this measure, will really be setting an example to the other States of Europe, which, whether they likq tor not, they will of ne ,-I)6,compelled ttritinitate. W e know what ii;fis . the force of principle in regard to the ordinary affairs of trade by,the present commercial treaty be tween France and this country. By the commercial treaty the other States of Europe have discovered lltkotiiatar that unless they are prepared to purchase equal ad vantages in their commerce with France, and to purchase these advantages by a. considerable reduc tion in their own tariff, they must of necessity abandon the markets of France to the more fa voured and enterprising manufacturers of this country. Well, the consequence has been that, although free - trade was very little in favour on the Continent of Europe, we find that all the States on the eastern frontier of France have been actively engaged in negotiating commercial treaties . with that country. Prussia and the Zollverein were the first to enter the field. I have no doubt in the other States, particularly in Bavaria, some objection was made. The course which Prussia proposed to recommend caused a great many wry faces. But it was only a choice between those two alternatives, and they wisely chose what they considered to be the lesser evil of the two. Following this movement on the part of Prussia, Belgium, Italy, and Switzerland, it is true this country can only claim the advantages conceded to France in the commercial treaty, but when these treaties come into force we shall have the full benefit of all these advantages. This, I think, was inti mated by Mr. Ward when he came here in October. I have reason to believe that these States, when they come to revise their tariffs, will listen to reasonable and moderate proposals for some future reductions. This is not all. Some very intelligent and energetic gentlemen, who know more of what is going on in Vienna than I do, give us the assurance that even the Austrian Government is disposed to remodel their singularly absurd tariff. For the last five years the Austrian Government has been holding this language, and I shall be exceedingly pleased to find that they are now about to adopt a more liberal policy. No doubt, they feel the very great disadvantages of their position, for they are most disadvantageously placed with regard to other States, both commercially and politically, by the tariff they have long supported. Though they have been talking a good deal about the matter, yet up to the present time they have been acting very much like Mr. Pecksniff's horse ; they have always been_ going to go, but never going. I hope, however. that we have arrived at a new era. in the history of their tariff. In Turkey, also, they are entering on a new era, mid I believe the subject is also occupy ing the serious attention of the Russian Govern ment. You will see that many subjects of grea t importance connected with the modification of th e t different tariffs will come under the consideration with . th e _e ap ins p e l ff t. y i ef: of Government, and we shall ttainitnhtleseYrests, and technical points. those who are perfectly conversa nt on they can to the Executive of n t is he th tariff en, ex fo ce r edi ins n t g n iy i to ct d io ets n hire o air n bl a eo ll wn r tions should be active and looking about th em, and Government.. _ sgiuvpeplythweirhatainttefonrtlinoanti CIIRISTIAN'S MISTAKE.

A BOROUGH FOR SALE.—A considerable portion of the borough of Bridgnorth is to be sold by auc tion on the day after the meeting of Parliament. The property consists of about 90 freehold houses, including some of the most desirable residences in the town, with nine hotels and public-houses, several shops, building pre mises, wharves, &c., with attractive building sites in the best situations. "It presents," it is said, "considerable attractions to an enterprising capitalist, not only for in vestment, but as tending towards securing a seat in Par liament." The population of Bridgnorth is about 7,900 and the number of electors about 700. It always returns two Conservative members to the House of Commons.
