No one can say, at any rate, that if the new measure be faulty and defective, that too much haste and temerity have been the cause of failure. All sides of politics, and all divisions of party, have agreed in one thing, namely—to take their time about the settlement of the question. No doubt in an important affair like this too much precipitation would not even do ; but we think that the French poet, who was so great an advocate of slow pro . ceedings, and counselled that it would be expedient vingt fois sur le metier remetter rouvrage would be satisfied by this time. The time has indeed arrived when it is not only expedient, but very necessary to settle the matter, and therefore one naturally feels both impatience and indignation at those who offer a factious opposition, and are de termined to find something wrong, and when that seems difficult to invent an error or two. Perhaps nothing is more inconsistent than the course pursued by some who all along declared that the present Government would not bring in a Reform Bill at all ; and now when they find their mistake turn round and say it is all a trick and a delusion. No doubt mortified vanity and disappointment may make them unfair in a great measure, but such conduct is not calculated to inspire respect or confidence. We were among those who all along entertained the conviction that the Ministry would do some thing in the matter, although they were not fet tered by engagements of any sort, and the result has shown how correct was the impression. Last Saturday we were reminded by an able correspon dent, " A Lover of Historical Dates and Facts," that he was a " correct soothsayer" in his former com munications respecting the probability of the Go vernment bringing in a Reform Bill. " Not only have they done so, but Lord DERBY has accepted the resignation of two of his ablest colleagues on account of their well-known hostility to the passing of a Reform Bill." The other evening, when he was adverting to the changes that had taken place of late, Mr. DISRAELI did not adopt the plan of lamenting the departure of the good old times and the decadence of ancient usage, but, on the con trary, he declared that England bad never been better governed than during the last thirty years or so. Pursuing the theme still further, our correspon dent seeks to prove that the two leading minds of the Cabinet are naturally not so adverse to Re form as some suppose or wish us to imagine. The Premier and the Chancellor of the Exchequer were, thirty-four years ago (in 1833), united with the Liberals of that period, and do not " entertain such different opinions, and are by no means such different individuals now, in 1867, as to what they were in 1833." They do not think that the pre sent time requires so complete a change as the for mer days did, and hence it is easy to found misre presentations and even accusations upon their acts and speeches. We entirely agree with the general opinion expressed by this writer when he says that " a reasonable and fair measure of Reform we shall have from the present Ministry this session I feel satisfied, provided they are left alone and not dis turbed by any factious opposition." This is the sum and substance of the matter, and its importance and significance cannot be too much dwelt upon by all who really and sincerely desire a settlement to take place this year. In this communication we have alluded to the Opposition and the country are entreated to give the present Ministry a fair trial, and we hope and trust that they will. Mr. GLAD STONE, to his credit, has promised to do so, and we hope he will not be weary of his moderation before the long and difficult work is over. Other measures of Reform, relative to important matters in Church and State, are also prospering under this Administration, and many impartial witnesses will attest the truth of this remark, that it will be a good thing if the Whigs keep out, for they are more useful in Opposition than in office ; and it will be very beneficial if they should be banished for several years to the bleak and dreary regions of the Opposition, as no right measure of Reform or progress would they ever bring forward during their recent seven years' tenure of office. Mr. GLADSTONE'S conduct this session we have already made mention of in eulogistic terms, and per- haps the statesmanlike course be has pursued, inde pendent of party and prejudice, appears more remarkable than ever when we contrast it with that of some others. Of all great mistakes and a: grievous errors none exceed that of taking upon oneself the responsibility of exciting those whose knowledge and experience of public matters is necessarily limited, and whose passions are easily aroused, and not likely to be restrained within due limits when roused. We think that the course which has been pursued by the Reform League, and other societies of a similar sort, has been most mis taken and most misguided. It might have been all very well some time ago when the prospect was more blank, and those best qualified to judge felt doubtful as to the chances of any comprehensive scheme being carried ; but this argument will not do now ; and there is no real reason to give for the fuss that is being made, and no valid grounds are afforded by the existing state of things for the zeal and excite ment shown in certain quarters. Last Saturday a meeting was held in Trafalgar-square, called by the London Working Men's Association—Mr. GEORGE PuTrEn was in the chair—and on the whole the pro ceedings were not characterised by so perverse a spirit as on former occasions. Of course some ex aggeration was to be expected, such as when Mr. POTTER declared that the resignation of the three Ministers of State was partly due to their previous meetings. Very foolish advice it was to urge upon the working men to continue to meet, so that the Members of Parliament might be kept up to the mark. It is the very worst policy to pursue that of keeping up an agitation of any kind, and it generally defeats its purpose in the long run, by dispersing those who at first might have been favourably disposed, but draw back upon finding things pushed too far. Great disapproval was expressed to the plan of plurality of voting, and the Liberal party was called upon to offer the most determined opposition to it, which was very absurd, to say the least of it. All we can say is, that, if the predictions of some speakers are realised, and both parties in the house combine to shelve the question, or if the Government, by dissolving Parliament, cause an other year's delay, it will be mainly attributable to those who deaf to reason and insensible to re monstrences persist in the prosecution of their mis chievous purpose, and go on disseminating doctrines which can never be successfully introduced into the political constitution of the country. The chief point of interest just now, however, is the conciliation of the course likely to be pursued by the Opposition, and since it is always difficult to retrace steps, and almost impossible to arrive at a calm decision during the discussion of au exciting topic, we hope that this week—the last one of comparative quiet for some time—will not be lost by those whose influence will have weight in materially affecting the welfare of the community. •It is not necessary to know all the details of a measure in order to decide in what spirit it shall be received ; that is generally pretty well known beforehand. It is of great moment that this Session should see the question of Reform settled ; and if the Minis terial proposition be not met in a fair and generous spirit that result cannot be attained. Upon the Government rests the responsibility of bringing in a measure that shall be adapted to the exigencies of the case ; but upon the Opposition and the Inde pendent members will lie the reproach of its failure, for if they can they may mould it into the form most conducive to the interests of the public, and the claims of those who are not duly represented, and if they do not choose to do so they will as as suredly heal its doom. We would impress upon the THE SUN, LOM:ON, MONDAY EVENING, MARCH 11, 1867. minds of all most immediately concerned in the affair the great importance of this question, and the duty that lies before them—a duty that is high above and far beyond the claims of party. If for a brief time separate interests are laid aside for the common good the result will be such as to insure success, and there will be something gained of far more consequence than any ephemeral triumph of the hour ; for a momentous question that has long impeded the progress of the community will have been taken from the vexatious position it now holds, and removed from the arena of discussion. The American Radicals must, we fear, be desig nated political busybodies. Whatever goes on North or South, anywhere over the whole surface of the great American continent, must come under their notice. They have, in their own estimation, proved themselves so thoroughly competent to legislate for the United States that they have time and attention to spare for the British American Provinces, for the Mexican Empire, and for the States of South America. Their last achievement, as recorded by the cable on Saturday, is sufficiently characteristic. " The House of Representatives," so runs the telegram, " has ordered the immediate appointment of a committee on foreign relations, in view of the approaching confederation of the British North American provinces." This is a piece of somewhat unwarrantable impertinence. What has the confederation of the provinces to do with the House of Representatives? Very certainly Canada does not expect to be consulted as to the admission of Colorado or Nebraska. The Radicals appear to have an impression that we hold Canada on suf ferance, and that they have a right to express an opinion as to its form of government. The other day they were in a fuss because there was a ru mour of a Canadian kingdom, and they plainly hinted that such a thing could not be allowed. But a confederation of states, one might have imagined, would have been most congenial to the American mind. The Radicals, however, are up in arms at the thought, and they cap their proceedings by passing a resolution expressive of sympathy with Ireland. This last achievement fortunately takes the whole affair out of the region of practical legislation into that of extravagant absurdity. The Radicals are determined to produce an effect somewhere, and so they have recourse to the make-believe heroism of Fenianism. The PRESIDENT, we learn, will not send the usual message to Congress. Pro bably he thinks that his veto messages have suffi ciently explained his policy, and his position with the Houses is now so awkward that the message would be a difficult and unsatisfactory task. As yet the dominant party in the new House has not shown much wisdom, and we must hope that a little time will bring about a modification of their plans and policy. After London streets and squares have been left to grow and extend themselves very much after the inclination of builders and speculators, the autho- rities seem to have; been suddenly inspired with a desire to introduce some sort of architectural har- mony into the great unwieldy metropolis. Reform, which is usually slow enough in its operations, has during the last few years effected vigorous changes, and we have the prospect of more to come. What with the Holborn-valley improvement, the new City thoroughfares, the Thames Embankment, and its attendant alterations, and the new bridges, we shall soon scarcely recognise some of old London's most familiar features. One of the most useful of the West-end improvements will be the relief of the traffic at the southern half of Park-lane. In the days of the first Great Exhibition the pressure on this narrow and troublesome passage was very great, and much inconvenience was felt from it. But exhibitions, however successful, are temporary things, and it was confidently expected that Park- _ • lane would soon resume its wonted quietude. The erection of the Victoria Station forbade any such tranquillity, and the stream constantly flowing northwards to southwards from Paddington to Vic- toria, and vice versa, occasions perpetual perplexity to drivers, alarm to travellers, and danger to those on foot. It is acknowledged on all hands that some thing must be done with the bottom of Park-lane. From Piccadilly itself up to Pittshead-rnews the lane is entirely unsuited for anything like rapid and continuous traffic, and the danger and inconveni ence daily experienced are so great that the public are impatient for some change. Many suggestions have been made, many plans laid before the Metro- politan Board ; and, as a matter of course, many objections have been raised to every scheme pro posed. The plan which has been fortunate enough to oLtain the approval of the Board is the most simple, and, at the same time, probably the most efficacious that could have been suggested ; its only objection being the attendant expense. It consists, as our readers are aware, of the removal of the houses on the western side of the lane, which will, of course, add greatly to the width of the thorough fare ; in fact, it will at the south corner, where the pressure is greatest, nearly double it. Those familiar with this part of London know that the houses on the western side run but a short distance up the lane ; in fact, they terminate just opposite Pittshead-mews, and consequently the task of re moval would not be too formidable. Another scheme has recently been submitted to the public by Mr. SAXON SNELL, which has the two advantages of economy and efficiency, and which, therefore, deserves careful consideration. Mr. SNELL'S plan is to make the wide Park road which runs from Apslcy House northwards a public road as far as Stanhope-gate, making a new road for the park traffic a little to the west where the grass now is. Mr. SNELL argues that his plan would secure a wide and handsome road, amply sufficient for even greater traffic than we now have, while he presses upon the attention of the ratepayers a more potent argument—the great re duction of expense. The Metropolitan Board esti mate the cost of their scheme at £105,000, which Mr. SNELL thinks may probably be £150,000. His own method, on the other hand, would, he thinks, require no more than £ll,OOO. Certainly, these figures plead loudly on Mr. SNELL'S behalf ; but, though expense is a very important consideration, it is not a paramount one ; and in a great and wealthy city the first question to be asked with regard to permanent improvements is, not how they can be most cheaply done, but how they can be best done. An anecdote is told of RENNIE, that when some economical gentleman objected to the estimate of 'Waterloo-bridge, he answered in characteristic fashion—" Hoot man ! a hundred years hence people won't ask how much it cost, but who built it !" This is the spirit in which to plan and to execute a great metropolitan work, and any attempt at ill-timed and unsuitable economy generally defeats itself. The saving effected in building the National Gallery will have cost a good many extra thousands before we have done with it, besides being a constant source of mortification and annoyance. London can surely afford to carry out a public improvement in a large and liberal spirit, and though there is no need to waste the money of the ratepayers, the general feeling will be in favour of a really satisfactory plan. Mr. SNELL'S scheme is, of course, much less costly, because there is no compensation required ; and he hints that if the new park railings are thrown back all the way up, one of the handsomest and least expensive streets in London would be formed from Grosvenor place to Oxford-street. But on the same principle, by building over half the park, we might have several handsome and inexpensive streets and squares. Everybody knows that the ground so enclosed could be turned to excellent account for building, but all classes are of opinion that we have pavements and chimneypots enough, and that it is desirable to keep some few green oases in this desert of bricks and mortar. The parks are for the enjoyment of all ranks, and any one who goes there on a fine summer's evening may see for himself that all ranks avail themselves of them. Why then should there be such a serious interference with Hyde Park? The confusion, banished from Park lane, would reign tenfold at Hyde-park-corner, where the conflicting throngs of cabs to and from the railways, horses, and carriages going in and coming out of the Park, nurses and children going to look on, would meet in most admired confusion. Hyde-park-corner is, in all conscience, busy enough in spring and summer with the ordinary pleasure traffic without adding to it the eager travellers rushing from one train to another, the heavy lug gage, and all the other impedimenta of great railway routes. The free admission of public carriages to Birdcage-walk is several times referred to by Mr. SNELL in his statement, and he thinks the precedent answers all objections. But the traffic at Hyde-park-corner and Park lane is a very different thing, and the damage done to the park would be very much greater. As for the acute angles he talks of no London driver need fear them, since he can hardly get from the centres of business to any of the great stations without sundry turns and corners. Mr. SNELL'S scheme, as we have said, deserves attention, but we think it is open to grave objection. Our Parks have been laid out at great cost for public recreation ; and the necessity for preserving open spaces increases rather than diminishes. Mr. SNELL'S scheme would effect a great change in the Park, and would not, we think, in any corresponding degree, effect the desired relief in the traffic. CORRESPONDENCE FROM PARIS. There was a Cabinet Council yesterday at the Tuileries, at which the Emperor presided. The Empress was present. The project of law for the reorganisation of the Army and the National Guard, which has just been submitted to the Chambers, is preceded by a report of great length relative to the former and present condition of the Army and the best mode of im proving it. The object of the changes may be briefly described as being based upon the prin ciple of diminishing the expense of the Army in time of peace and augmenting its resources in time cf war. Thus the law will authorise the enrolment out of the 325,000 young men who every year at tain the age of 21 a total of 160,000 men instead of 100,000 hitherto chosen by lot. These 160,000 will be formed into two parts, one forming the active Army and the other the reserve. All the young men are bound to serve for nine years, but in different degrees. The soldiers of the first part of the contingent will serve five years in the active Army and then 4 years in the Reserve. The sol diers of the second part of the contingent will serve four years in the Reserve and then for five years in the National Guard. This enrolment of 160,000 men, who, with the deductions for the Marine, exemptions and exonerations, will be reduced to 117,000, will give to the active Army, after five years, 400,000 men, and, at the end of four more years, 275,000 for the Reserve of young men, thus augmented by 55,000 men only. In time of peace the new project will considerably decrease the bur then of conscription, but in time of war it will fur nish, considerable resources and add materially to the strength of the Army. France will, by its means, be able to place under arms : Soldiers on active service ... ... 400,000 Old soldiers who hare served 5 years 154,000 Bounty soldiers of the reserve ... 275,000 Total ••• ••• ... 829,000 As to the National Guard, there will, under the provisions of the law in future, be no difficulty. The general total of the land forces of France will be thus composed : Active army ••• ••• ... 400,000 Reserve, 154,920 soldiers, and 275,595 ••• youngobile National con tingents of the reserve, and 94,000 exonera ted. ••• soldiers Guard, five M ... 430,000 ... 408,000 Total, men ... ...1,238,000 Thus, with an annual contingent to be reduced to 117,000 men, under the regulations above named and with the addition of the National Guard, who, will not be subjected to any inconvenient exercises, France will be able to reckon in case of need upon more than 1,200,000 soldiers. The Paris papers, of course, discuss the proposed law very earnestly, to the exclusion of all other topics. The Journal des Debats seems to consider the proposal as involved in obscurity, and as dis appointed that soldiers will still be allowed to marry after having obtained permission from their surperior officers. The Opinion Nationale is more unfavourable to the proposals than any of the other papers. It says— " Exoneration is maintained for the active army, for the reserve, and the National Guard ; the principles of substitution isadmitted. Exoneration from mili tary service has always been one of the privileges of the rich, but for the poor there was at least the chance of the urn. Now for the poor there is no change. In some sort the poor alone will pay the blood tax." The Arts have sustained another loss by the death of Louis Boulanger, the eminent painter, which took place at Dijon. He was only 61. Boulanger belonged to the romantic school of painting, and was director of the Dijon School of Fine Arts. The little American yacht Red, White, and Blue, which sailed from Dover a few days ago on a voyage across the Atlantic, intending to put into Havre, met with a heavy sea, and was forced to take shelter in the port of Caen. Capt. French, of the steamer Le Souvenir, rendered the most praiseworthy assistance, and the yacht did not sus tain any injury. The eminent German painter, Pierre de Corne lius, is also dead. He was born at Dusseldorf in 1787, and when only 19 he was engaged to paint the cupola of the church of Neuss, a work which laid the foundation of his great reputation. After having studied at Rome he was employed to re- store the celebrated mythological frescoes at Munich. In Germany his master-piece is considered to be " Cycle des Niebelungen." Cornelius was one of the foreign members of the French Institute. As I informed you in my letter of Friday, the assassin Lemaire was executed that morning at six o'clock. It was only at half-past five o'clock that he knew the sentence was about to be carried out. When the prison attendants informed him that the hour was arrived, he said, " Very well, gentlemen ; dress me, I am ready." Ile was seated awake on his seat when they entered his cell. Ilis strait jacket was taken off, and he was dressed in his usual clothes. lie was as calm as possible, and combed his hair very carefully. Being asked if he wanted anything, he said he should like a glass of wine and water, which was given to him. The Abbe Crauzes, the almoner of the pri son, wished to speak with the culprit, but the lat ter did not pay much attention to him, and the con versation was very brief. The minister of religion was much more moved than the man who was about to die. The prisoner crossed the courtyard as quickly as his bonds could allow bite, and he mounted the scaffold with perfect indifference, and then quietly embraced the abbe. The crowd was im mense, although the amateurs of executions had assembled and been disappointed every day for a week previously. The soldiers kept the people at such a distance from the scaffold that it was not much of a spectacle for them. One remarkable in cident of this terrible affair was indicative of the penchant of the fair sex for such exhibitions. The great proportion of the crowd was formed of wo men. A more solemn characteristic of the scene was that while the quivering remains of the mur derer were being conveyed away in the blood-cov ered wicker trunk containing the body and the de capitated head, the Abbe Crauzes was seen on his knees praying for the soul of the criminal. Just before the fatal moment of the execution, Lemaire said, " Happily my first crime was my last ;" and so did he end his earthly career. A tradesman of Montmartre who was well acquainted with Lemaire when he was but sixteen, relates that he often saw him with a woman who sold carpets, and whom he supposed to be his mother. One day the conversa tion turned upon great criminals. Lemaire became suddenly animated, and said " I shall die upon the scaffold, and my affair will make a great noise in the world. You will see details of it in all the news papers, and you must come to iny execution, for you will never be able to witness anything like it." The narrator of this accountsays he advised Lemaire to read the Causes Celebres, and the accounts of the sufferings of convicts at the hulks, thinking that they might change his sinister ideas, but Lemaire replied, " I know what the prisons and hulks are. 1 don't mean to go there. If I were condemned now they would send me to them. I shall wait." His fpiend said, " But you have not the phrenolo gical bump of crime." " Look behind my neck," replied Lemaire, "y ou will see a place where the hair has never grown. That is a sign that my head will be cut off." The person who gives this ac count says that he was determined to keep the terrible appointment, and that he went for several mornings to the place of execution, but that, like thousands of others, he was disappointed because of the postponement of the " last scene of all." There has been a horrible attempt at parricide at Calais. Alfred Luornez, aged 29, employed as a dockyard carpenter, has made a murderous attack with a knife upon his father, a man of 65. The crime is surrounded with aggravating circumstances, long premeditation, breaking into a house, incen diarism, and attempted suicide. The villain at tacked his father in the night, inflicted severe if not mortal wounds, and cut out one of his eyes. He then set fire to the building where his father slept in the dockyard. His excuse is that he has long been subjected to ill-treatment from his father. The wounds of the ruffian himself are not serious ; he was prevented from carrying out his intention of PARIS, Sunday Evening, suicide. A petition to the Senate is in course of signature at Paris, praying for the imposition of a tax upon bachelors. The greater number of the signatures hitherto obtained are those of women. There was great abundance of violent rain last night. To-day the rain has been heavy and copious. The temperature, however, is completely changed. It has been warm, and the air is like that of spring. According to the Spanish astronomer the second deluge will commence in the course of the ensuing week. Such superstition still prevails in the Landes and near Bayonne that some tradesmen are said to have sold off their stock-in-trade and left the country. LATEST INTELLIGENCE. (REUTER'S TELEGRAMS.)

LITERATURE. Half Round the Old World. By Viscount Polling ton. One Vol., pp. 393. Moxon and Co. In these records of a tour in Russia, the Cau casus, Persia, and Turkey in 1865-66 Lord Pol lington has given us a very delightful glimpse of the various scenes through which he passed, and the men and manners that he encountered in his way. He has given us, he tells us, almost an exact transcription of his diary kept during the travels which he describes, and he has added "no after thoughts, and no descriptions of the origin of peoples, or of the former state of places that have been laboriously culled from the pages of eucycloi ;alias." These very judicious omissions, in fact, only add to the attractions of the book, which is full of interesting information incidentally introduced, and is also en livened with innumerable anecdotes. As, for example, we learn that in Prussia " the difference between the several classes of carriages on the rail way apparently is, that the first-class only holds six upon velvet, and the second-class eight upon leather ; the thied-class, as many as it will hold upon wood ; and the fourth, as many as can stand upon their feet." In Russia we find that sparkling Moselle is called " the Emperor Alexander's cham pagne, as that Monarch first introduced it into Moscow ;" and in Armenia, when remarking upon the cunning expression of the natives, we are re minded of the proverb, " that it takes five Christians to get over a Turk, and five Turks to cheat a Greek, fire of these latter are required to swindle a Jew, but it requires five Jews to ' do' one Armenian l" These brief little scraps, selected almost hap-hazard, will be sufficient to demonstrate the amusing as well as interestingcharacter of these very pleasant travels " llalf-Round the Old World." Men I Bove Known. By William Jerdan. One Vol. Pp. 490. Illustrated with Fac-simile Auto graphs. Routledge and Sons. These most delightful reminiscences of men whom, by name and repute at least, we have all known, will be read with interest by many. The natural easy manner in which the Recollections are strung together adds greatly to their attraction ; and the genial kindly spirit of the venerable author is con spicuous throughout the whole volume. Various, indeed, in character and career are the men here assembled together ; men who, some of them, have hardly anything in common save their public im portance and the kind regard of their biographer. Side by side with the Earl of Aberdeen comes Richard Barham, the incomparable " Ingoldsby," Thomas Campbell, and George Canning, Charles Dibdin, and Isaac Disraeli, Sir John Franklin and John Galt, William Huskisson and Joseph Jekyll, Sir Walter Scott and Brinsley Sheridan —almost every man of any repute in politics or literature during the last century is here commemorated, and very appropriately and very cordially commented upon by one who himself ranks among those men whom to have known is a pleasure and a privilege. The Story of a Life: and other Works, chiefly Poetical. By William Alfred Gibbs. One Vol. A. W. Bennett. A deeply pathetic story, very tenderly told, is this story of a life, which we are assured is " an o'er true tale." It commences with a very charm ing description of a happy home, ruled over by a beloved mother. Bright, genial, prudent, gaily, kindly wise, She moved among her children like a queen ; Wisdom her crown, and for her sceptre, love. A blight, however, hangs over the happy home. Intermarriages with too near of kin have introduced the taint of insanity. The mother herself is the first victim, and the happy home becomes a desecrated temple. In the " sequel" to this sad story, the evil inheritance exerts its melancholy influence among her children, and in the "second sequel," even to auother gene ration. The moral lesson is verystrongly inculcated, but the story is a very painful one. So charming are some of the home scenes, and so vividly drawn some of the characters, that we should be glad to have at the hands of the same author a domestic story with a happier issue. Sketches by Seymour. John Camden Hotten. This "Book of Cockney Sports, Whims, and Oddities" will be welcome to all who remember the name of Seymour in connection with the earlier illustrations of " Pickwick." In more than one awkward amateur of a sportsman we fancy we detect a family likeness to that immortal Nimrod, Nathaniel Winkle. More than one hun dred and eighty humorous drawings are collected in this volume, to which is prefixed a very interest ing account of the artist and his works. The publisher has been induced to bring forward these sketches in the belief " that the present generation might find some amusement in another issue of the droll pictures and comicalities which set the world laughing thirty years since." At the same time, he comments upon the different character of the humorous illustrations of the present day, and remarks that John Leech, more than any other artist, has assisted in producing this milder taste in our national fan. " The finer shades of humour rather than the old broad form of wit appear to characterise the popular taste of the present day." The truth of this observation is very evident upon the merest glance through these whimsicalities, which were once wont "to set the table in a roar." The style of wit as contrasted with the modern Punch, is, as the Belgravian flunkey complained of the " quisine" of the servant's hall, substantial but " coarse 1" Nevertheless, as a speci men of the fun of a bygone generation, they have a value of their own, and, yet more, as sketches by Seymour, the great illustrator of " Pickwick," they possess a future and permanent attraction. More of the Periodicals. BELGRAviA—for March (No. 5) —beginning the Second Volume of this already established favourite among the monthly periodicals—•advances the Edi tor's story of " Birds of Prey" but little, though Alien Braddon as usual contrives to enthrall her readers' attention not only by the freshness of her style, but in a remarkable way also by the sense of cortain oncoming mysteries and incidents by which those same mysteries will eventually be explained. It is rather odd, by the way, to nottce bow the younger novelists of nowadays have some strange kind of fascination turning them away to the selection of mauvais subjets as the themes—as the heroes and heroines of their imaginary narratives. In All the Year Round, for example, we have for many weeks past been following the fortunes of a number of " Black Sheep" (one or two of them very black sheep) over the world's wil derness at the bidding of Mr. Edmund Yates. And now, at the instance of Miss Braddon, we are track ing, step by step, or rather flight by flight, such hungry and pitiless Birds of Prey as Captain Paget, Mr. Hawkehurst, and the two Sheldons, Philip (that is) the stockbroker, and George, the attorney of Gray's Inn. Among the embellishments of the number there is a charming picture of " March, the Hunting Breakfast," drawn by Alfred Thompson. A tribute is offered by one of the art critics of the Belgravia to the fecundity of imagination manifested by young Gustave Dore. Another contributor takes us an amusing, and, to our selves, a sufficiently familiar ramble from St. Paul's to Piccadilly. There is a well- thought-out paper on "The Decline of the Drama"—the writer's theory, thereanent, in a very great measure accounting for that same declension. " A Red Indian Legend" —" Stone's Love Affair"—" Circe," and "My Friend's Villa"—are the titles of the minor stories here enlivening a by-no-means dull number other wise of Belgravia. Dr. Scoffern, beyond all this, descants upon the horrors of " Vivisection ;" and a manifestly skilled hand gives us as good a resume as we have anywhere yet seen of the varied merits and demerits of the different designs for our projected new Courts of Justice. CASSELL'S PENNY MAGAZINE demands a welcome, if only for the sake of the fair fame of its enter prising publishers, the Messrs. Cassell, Fetter, and Galpin, of Ludgate-hill. And number one is cer tainly a wonderful pennyworth—particularly seeing that the purchaser has had thrown in, " free, gratis, for nothink" (as John Leech had it under one of his •••••••••[ comic cuts), an extraordinarily large and boldly_ executed wood engraving, taken from Ward's well known picture of " The South Sea Bubble ;" other wise, of Change Alley, as it appeared on the burst ing of that deplorably gigantic Bubble Company. Printed on toned paper and embellished (besides the gratis flyleaf just mentioned) with three large wood cuts, illustrative of letterpress either simply enter taining or instructive as well as entertaining, Cassell's Magazine, nevertheless, seems too good in one sense to achieve the wide success requisite for the securing of the popularity of any such penny weekly publication. The commence ment of a serial tale called " Anne Judge, Spinster," by the author of " Grandmother's Money," leads off, and is followed by the initial instalment of " Mrs. Malachite's Maxims." There is a curious account of the Rise of the Great Plague in London two hundred and odd years ago in kshlin's-place, Drury-lane—a srcap of verse--a bundle of anec dotes, sonic of them rather old and threadbare — and (to finish up with) the moiety of a tale about a Lighthouse. Still—for all that—it hardly looks like a permanence. The toned paper, we can't help thinking, has been rather over-done of late among the periodicals—besides which, the wood engrav ings, as they here appear on the toned paper, look smudgy and indistinct. Why not revert to old fashioned white, and crown each number with a simpler, bolder, blacker, and less filagreed heading ? THE FORTNIGHTLY REVIEW—now in the third number of the New Series and the Fortieth of the Old—continues still under the Editorship of John Morley to flourish as a monthly misnomer. The misnomer, by the way, being none the less of a mis nomer by reason of the curiously-worded intimation heading each fresh issue of this now strictly inter calary publication for the first day of each succeed ing month, to the effect " The Publication on the 15th for the present suspended." According to the system, therefore, now regulating the issue of The Fortnightly so-called—its mode of appearance is one, as just now remarked, not so much inter mittent as intercalary. As a Fortnightly, it holds on to its original title, so to speak, by the eyelashes —the publication which could alone justify its con tinued claim to the title of Fortnightly being, as naïvely intimated, "for the present suspended." Apart from the mere name of it, however,—an d according to the trite Shaksperian deprecation of blame of any kind ever being supposed for one moment to accrue from any such comparative trifle as a Name, as hinted by Juliet's old threadbare query, " What's in a Name ?" apart from the mere title of it, this soi-disant Fortnightly assumes t° itself still, by right, a very high place among th e ablest of our more intellectual periodicals. That high position it assumed at once upon its being firs t of all inaugurated among those first-class periodicals as a sort of English double to the Revue des Deux Mondes, under the direction of Mr. G. H. Lewes, the Biographer of Goethe and the Historian of Philosophy. That position it steadily maintained, and, in some respects, at intervals, materially strengthened and widened during the period of his responsible Editorship. At the turn of the year, however, came that change in the fortunes of the Fortnightly which resulted, by reason of the failing health of its main projector and conductor from its very commencement, Mr. G. H. Lewes, in the trans ference of the Editorship from his more than simply competent hands to those of Mr. John Morley, not of Mr. Henry Morley, but of Mr. John Morley, s ° his successor in the conduct of the new periodical. The third instalment of the publication under 13 i 5 management shows him to have fairly warmed to his work both as Editor and as one of his own prioc i P a , contributors. The Second Portion of his series 01 biographical and critical papers on Edmund Burke evidences this more especially. It is rather too dis-. cursive, however, in the manner of its treatment of the theme taken in hand to our thinking—being almost valueless, indeed, as a consecutive narrative. Captain Whyte Melville's " White Rose" is ad vanced by four additional chapters. Miss Cobb: weighs in the balance of her judgment two rathe r pertinent queries now in the latter half of the nine teenth century— ,4 What is Progress ? and, Ara we Progressing?" Frederick Harrison, following ill the wake of Mr. Bagehot, descants upon " Ou r Venetian Constitution." Besides these, and a cluster of minor notices, there is a very curious paper in this new number of the Fortnightly, by Professor Beesly, on the " Amalgamated Society of Carpeo ters," and a review, by J. Cotter Morrison, of M r ' Hepworth Dixon's "New America," under the mor e exact title of " Religious Utopias cf the united States." VACHER'S PARLIAMENTARY COMPANJON is hardly as well up to time as usual—the new issue of 1 : for March making no mention whatev er of the W important Ministerial changes, but announcing, s_ hitherto, that Lord Carnarvon has the Colonies, S ir John Pakington the Admiralty, Lord Cranboroef India, the Duke of Buckingham the PresidencY je, the Council, Stafford Northcote the Board of Tra u . before and so forth. A revised edition would b e most 31' ceptable to the subscribers to Vacher long ,t April, and it is much to be hoped, therefo re, tha t will be speedily announced. i f fi I & i„ CW . , Nan.t .
