HALF PREMIUM SYSTEM. —By this plan only one-half of the premiums. with interest of the retained halves, is required to be p rid for the first five years—the retained halves, being payable at the convenience of the assured, or allowed to continue, to form a deductioa from the claim en the Policy ; and as the As surance may be relinquisloed at any time without payment Of the retained premiums, this scheme enables a party to assure fur the first five years at little raore than half the usual rate, and to discontinue a Policy at about one-half the usual sacrifice. WHOLE IVORLD POLICIES are granted, whereby the security of a creditor, holder of a Policy, continues unimpaired, although the mum! life should go beyond the prescribed limits. Sums are assured payable to the parties themselves on attaining a Specified are, or at their death, whichever shall first occur. PA E ItsIIIP POLICIES are granted, whereby ajoint assurance t fi s ected by partners, at the charge of the firm, secures the capital in vested.

There is no extra charge for residence beyond 35 degrees of the O ahoy. Ne Admission or Entrance Fees are required, nor is any charge nude for the Policy beyond the amount of the Stamp. Claims are payable within three months after proof of the death of the assured life The usual Commission allowed to Solicitors, and also to persons, approved by the Board, who extend the business of Life Assurance in connexion with this Company.

Reader, remember, this letter was pet lit the paper by the lady herself, as a testimony to me Mrs. Weekley, of No. 3. Swan-street. Borough, takes this oppor tuaity of publicly thanking Mr. W. Grimstoae, of the Herbary, High gate for the etleacy of his Aromatic Regenerator, in having cam , 'lately restored the h al r en her head, after using it about four months, and the whole of her hair I s mu ch stron ger and more luxuriant that I over was before the baldness appeared. "Mrs. Weekley inserts this testimony to:The virtues of. Mr. tr.'s Regenator, feeling assured that many ladies would gladly purchase as II s. bottle it they were as certain of its virtues as she is, from ex perience, not only in the restoration and production of hair in abund ance, bat as a cure of nervous headache; as a toilet perfume IR tar beyond any to her taste. She will feel a pleasure ii answering any lady of respectability to the above fact .-3, Swan-street, Borough.' In eases of the hair becoming thin, weak, or turning grey, ate w drops on the crown et the bead occasionally, every week, will pre- Tent the hair from coming away with the comb, mace it strong, and prevent it turning grey, rendering the hair luxuriant and curly. A few drops on your hairbrush before brushing the hair, will give the hair brilliancy, causing it to curl. The most delicate ladies may use this delightful product of the melt aromatic herbs and flowers with confidence; Its refreshing odour removes headache and makes it a most necessary companion t) the toilet. In cases of nevous headache, pour tea or twelve drops an the grown of the head ; If very bad, zepeat it every quarter of AN tune. In most cases relief is certain in ten minutes. It produces hair on ehildren's heads in a few appplications. If used on infants' heads, it has such a peculiar cooling influence on the brain as to pre vent convulsions, as well as promoting the growth of hair.—See PailaPhlet et testimonials.

East India Company, the Principal Dock Com panies, and other public bAles, ikc., is particularly recommended to the Nobidly, Gentry, Agriculturists, Manufacturers, West India Pro prietors, and others, it having been proved by the practical test of more than sixty years to surpass all other paints as an out-door pre servative. It is extensively- used for the protection of woolen houses, farm and other out-buildings, farming implements, conservatories, park-paling, gates, iron railings, iron hurdles, cops cr, zinc. lead, brick, stone, old compo, and stucco il'unts, and tiles to represent s'ating. The superiority of the Anti-Corrosion to every other paint fur out doo • purposes may be easily inferred from the simple tact, that its sss has been always most strenuously epposed by c dour manufac turers, painters, oil and colourmen, and others interested in the sale of common paints. It is also very economical, any labourer being able to ay it on.

In our advocacy of a Financial Reform, it will be seen that we do not seek to confer a privilege upon one class, at the expense of an other; hut in our transactions, to apply principles of such sterling value and universal import as mast prove, In the fullest sense of the term, equally advantageous to all. We seek, in fact, t• reduce, not the income, but the expenditure, of every individual. Ilow this may be effected the following outline of our novel, yet well appreciated business system, will readily s!'.ow. POSSESSING L %BM: ESTABLISHMENTS In most of the principal towns in Great ttritain, our c‘micentratod purchases are necessarily very extensive ; from this cause we are enabled to obtain materials direct from the manufacturers, for cash, at prices considerably lower than the average. Our garments are de signed and cut by talented artists, and manufactured by experienced workmen ; our profits are calculated at a nominal per-centage upon original cost, and the price is marked on every garment, in plain A -ures, from which no deviation is allowed. These facts, together with the accommodation afforded by the exchange of garments not approved after purchase, afford advantages to our patror:s such as have been seldom, if ever, elsewh.re presented, enabling them to effect a reduction in their expenditure, at least in the item " Clothing," of not less than 40 per cent., as the following brief price list will testify to some extent : S. d.

They are most luxuriously ornamented with fine old timber, and are in a high state of cultivation, with all the buildings in excellent repair. The Mansion House of Swinithwade Ilall is a beautiful gentleman's residence, erected about fifty years ago, in a sheltered situation, on a charming site, backed by fine timber trees, commanding from its south front a view of the bold and magnificent hill of renhili, one of the most conspicuous .features of Wensleydale. From its north trout a full view is presented of the majestic ruined Castle of Bol ton, for ;hree centuries the baronial fortress of the Lords Scrope, and the place of Liaprisonment of Mary Queen of Scots, with its chain of blue hills in the back ground ; and from its east and prin cipal front the windows overlook a loeg sweep of the richly wooded fertile valley, with the noble woods of Bolton in the distance.

Blessington, were Phillips, in quence of the noble owner's deter m i nat i on to take up une thet hammer conse her future residence in Paris. The first day's sale con sisted of the furniture of the boudoir and drawing.room and the exceedingly rare collection of Sevres and other old porcelain.

EADVERTIsEMENT.I—An Abscess in the Breast Cured by Holloway's Ointment and Pills.- About three years since Mrs. 0 Flaherty of Mill-street, Cork, accidentally bruised her breast, for months afterwards the pain increased and the part became fearfully swollen ; various applications were tried without giving the least relief. Ultimately an ab scess formed, discharging a great quantity of humour, which debilitated her constitution to an alarming extent ; at this stage a lady strongly recommended her to try Holloway's W f o ,,r ir i , n t e m r en o t ec a a n s idon P s,hich advice s h e followed, and these fine having witn esse d their good effects en medicines answered most satisfactorily, for the wound was soon healed, and her health is now comi,letely renovated.— Sold by all Druggists and at Professor Holloway s Establishment, 244, Strand, London. Mrs. Butler, after the completion of her Shakspe rian readings in the United States, will return to this country. , MAY 8, 1849 9 MAGAZINES, ke.—(CONTINUED.) NEW 111 0JVTHL Y. The New Monthly Magazine for May is greatly superior to many of its predecessors. Seldom (since the days of its great celebrity) have we met w ith a better number. It opens with a beautiful tal,• beau tifully written by the author of " Azeth the Egyp tian," and " Anlytnone ;" but the most interesting article in this magazine is un abstract of Pro=per Merin 66's romantic " history of Pedr6 the Cruel." I'he " Falkland hlands," " Legends of Breslau," Mr Jolly Green's account of the " Gre at Paris Ex curion," the " Sporting Tour," " Denmark, its People and its Faith," " The lonian 161 es in 1849," " Lcrenzo da Ponte," by Dudley Costello, some ad mirable remarks on the " Phenomena of Sleep," &c., &c., fill up the remaining pages of this very ezcelltnt number of the New Monthly. caster Cup, 1848, and an engraving of " The likeliest Pl:ice," humoursly described in the letter-press by Oxonian. The Farmers' Maga zine gallantly enters the lists against Blackwood on the subject of the services rendered by science to agricuAure. The pictorial contents of the Farmers' for May are " Cotswold Rams," and a " A rgus Bull." The Loudon Journal and Repertory of Modern Ave! lions contains some iery beauti toll) , designed representations of improvements in steam engints and railway carriages, and in chrono meters, clock, &c. The Patent Journal is filled with an abundance of interesting infortnati,n concerning new inventions and improvements. Numerous as in The list of periodicals already before the nubile, we observe it has recently received an augmentation i,. the Ethical Reformer, the Commonwealth, and the Sporting Times—;he titles of which sufficiently in dieate tneir several styles, and the merits or demerit.. of which time will probably develop. The Family Herald, if it were wholly destitute (which it is not) of original merit, would be invaluable as a treasury of selections. Maxims of wit and wisdom, scattered over the pages of a hundred periodicals, are here col lected. Here is a quaint but very expressive simile, which may serve for a sample of the whole :—" Marrying a lady for her beauty is like eating a bird for its singing." The Journal of Public Health deserves a longer notice, which it shall have on another occasion. ale Church of England Magazine, as we have repeatedly said, furnishes an excellent course of reading for the several Sundays of the month. Murray's Home and Colonial Library, which we have so frequently com mended as it deserves, gives us this month a very interesting account of "A Residence in Sierra Leone." Knight's Monthly Volume, No. XLIV., completes the admirable shilling series, with the conclusion of " Rambles by Rivers." The Land we Lire In, Part XXII, is peculiarly interesting. It gives a pen and pencil delineation of "Ayrshire, and the Land 'of Burns," and the attractions of the description are en hanced by quotations from the poet —more especially when the banks of Ayr are mentioned, the spot where he fondly bade— " Simmer first unfauld her robes, And there the longest tarry, • For there I took my last farewell 0' my sweet Highland Mary." The National Library of Select Literature contains Part IV c f " Knight's Studies of bhakspere." The Pictorial History of England introduces us to the times of the great Reform struggle. This number contains a map of South Africa. The Colonial Ma gazine has increased in size and improved in ability. The Colonial Church Chronicle pursues the even tenor of its way. Le Follet is as beautiful as ever. FINE ARTS. THE HALT. Painted by H. T. Ausdell and W. P. Frith,A.R A. A picture conjointly produced by these artists is now on exhibition at 130, R egen t- street, and will very shortly be rendered popular by representation in an engraving, partly in line, partly in mezzotinto, from the practised hand of Mr. H. T. Ryall. We have recently had the gratification of inspecting the original painting, which evinces a very remarkable unity of feeling on the part of Mr. Ausdell and Mr. Frith. The incident is simple, but charming from its very simplicity. A sportsman, after a merry day's pleasure, has consigned his horse for a while to the care of the ostler at a roadside tavern. The horse, with its veins distended, its head drooping, its saddle glossy from friction, its stirrups dusty—is drinking a long, cool, delicious draught of water from the bucket raised on the crook'd knee of the stableman, who, by the way, seems to be carrying on a little incidental flirtation with the buxom girl leaning with her arm across the mane of the poor steed. The doge, with an eye to the alleviation of their own thirst, have followed their four-footed comrade, and one of them, with a greedy eye and a vigilant expectation, is watching the drops of water splashed over the edge of the bucket by the bridled mouth of Dobbin. With the exception of the figures, the ostler and the serving maid, the picture is entirely by Ausdell, and it will certainly not fail to enhance his reputation. Conceived in the style of Herring and Landseer, the " Halt" is no servile imitation. It is painted with great anatomical correctness, and with an artistic regard to every de tail of the manipulation. THE ART JOURNAL. Appearing simultaneously with the opening of the exhibition at the Royal Academy, the interest of the May number of the Art Journal is always in some measure deteriorated. We louir, and of course in vain, for some reference to that prominent theme of artistic criticism. Our disappointment of course engenders a longing for the June number, which longing is, as a matter of necessity, to the detriment of the number just published. Howbeit the Art Journal for May is in no respect barren of attraction. The Vernon Gallery, or as Punch calls it, the Ver non Pit, affords apparently inexhaustible subjects for the engravings of this eminent periodical. Besides a very beautiful copy by Bentley, from Constable's " Valley Farm," and one by Willmore, of Collins's " Prawn Fishers " (both from the Collection in the cellars of the National Gallery), there is a splen did engraving of a sketch taken from John Gibson's noble statue of her Most Gracious Majesty the Queen. The biography of this great sculptor is the most en tertaining contribution to the number, not excepting Mrs. S. C. Hall's pilgrimage to the house of John Kyrle at Ross, or the embellished paper on the Ons megang of Brussels. DEATH OF SAMUEL MAUNDER. We have the sorrowful task to announce the death, on Monday, the 30th April, ef this truly excellent man, and most meritorious writer, at his hou s e i n Gib son - equare , Islington. It was but the other day (see Literary Ga zelle, No. 1,663,) that, in speaking of his portraits, then putslished by Messrs. Longman and Co., we seized the occasion to offer a few remarks upon the great useful ness of his literary career, and his worth as a friend, whom we had known well, and esteemed much, for many a year. Mr. Maunder was the brother-in-law of William Pinnock, (who married his sister,) and who was so justly celebrated for the course he opened and pursued with such ardour in regard to books for educa tional purposes. Pinnock's catechisms will never be for gotten when educaticu is treated of ; and in their pro duction Maunder was the true workman, to whom the youth of England were chit fly indebted for their in structim; and also for those of a historical kind, which were no less skilfully slid admirably edited. Pinnock had, no doubt, the honour of the original design ; but he was of too enthusiastic and speculative a character to settle fixedly to any one object, however large ; and the profitable trade in his own catechisms and histories (worth several thousand pounds a year) was insufficient to satisfy his ambition; and he diverted his mind from this certain fortune for other schemes, which ended in the confusion of all, and his own ruin. Meanwhile, the honest and painstaking-Maunder kept steadily on. During several of the early years of the Gazelle, (whilst Pinnock and Maunder were its publishers,) and occa sionally since. he has contributed his aid to its columns; but the solid busiuess of his life was addressed to the compilation of those most useful and invaluable volumes, which Messrs. Longman have from time to time brought out under the well deserved titles of " Maunder's Trea sury of Useful Knowledge," " Maunder's Treasury of History," " Alauedtr's Scientific and Literary Treasury," " Maunder's Treasury of Natural History," " Maunder's Biographical Treasury," " Maunder's Universal Class , Book " &c. The labour bestowed on these publications has always claimed our warmest encomium. Maunder was not a p:;rdsodnilitgoeunntidyerdtiadkie acquiteland h not to do. Most conscientiously a of every one of his tasks; and the consequence is, that for general reference there are no Works extant (we hardly except the largest Cyclopedias) superior to his neat portable volumes, for every seeker of information. The avidity with which youth and intelligent childhood consult them is the highest testimony, and we know many houses to which we have recommended them, that "go to Maunder" has become the watchword and advice whenever any difficulty occurred in study or reading, and seldom have we found the appeal made in vain. Upon every ground, there fore, we venture unhesitatingly to pronounce Mr. Samuel Maunder an eminent benefactor. to his kind, and his name, one to be remembered with respect and gratitude by generations yet. unborn. lie had not reaclud a period of life which led us to fear its so sudden termina tion; but he has been called away, 'and if just and good actions, a modest sell-estimate and firm integrity, an absolute devotedness to literaturein tiitsteesst sense for educating the mass cf the people—if and pursuits " smell sweet and blossom in the dust," EO long shall his memory be cherished throughout the British empire.—Literary Gaztte. DEATH OF THE LORD BISHO P OF LIMERICK.— BIRMINGHAM, MONDAY. —At the cominencement of last week the lion. and Right Rev. Edmond Knox, Bishop of Limerick, arrived here on his way to Ireland, and put up at Beech's Railway Hotel, being at the time , uffering from inflammation of the lungs, occasioned by cold. Finding hicuselt unable to prosecute his journey. medical advice was procured, but without effect, and his Lordship expired on Thursday. His remains are still at the above hot,l, from whef.ce they will be ci nveyed by railway to Liverpo,il, and thence to Rostrevor, for interment in the family vault with his wife, the late Mrs. Knox. The di ceased Prelate was the youngest son of (lie late Vise Ut Northland, and uncle to the present Earl of Ranfurley. He was in the seventy-seventh y ear of his age. Several of his relatives have arrived here, and the arrangements for the removal of his remains are completed. COURT CIRCULAR.

THE GAS QUESTION.—The controversy ILS to the reduction of the prico of gas in the metropolis, which bas hitherto been confined to the city of London proper, is now likely to extend itself to the whole of the gas consuming districts of London. The citizens have long demanded that the two companies, which share between them the monopoly within tho walls, should reduce their price from 6s. per 1;000 , cubic feet to 49., a demand which they strenuously re= sisted, and this gave rise to the City Gas Consumers' Conk' pany, which ()tiers to supply the whole City at the mast mum price of 4s. In order to stave off, if possible, tills threatened opposition, the old companies have tardily an 4 reluctantly offered to reduce the price within the City boundary to five shillings, and here for the present they appear resolved to stop. However this reduction might have satisfied the citizens some time back, it now falls short of their expectations, whilst, as a natural con sequence, it is originating demands in other quarters which will speedily press heavily on the attention of these campanies. The City Company and the Chartered Com pany both supply gas beyond the City boundary, the former in the vicinity of Hatton-garden, Saffron-hill, St. John's, Cleikenwell, &c.; and the latter in the parishes of 5:. James's, Cierkenwed, St. Luke's, and in the Finsbury district. Some of the more active indi viduals in these districts arc already agitating the ques• tion—why they should not also receive from these com• panies the benefit of a similar reduction, as the difference between them" and their neighbours is a mere conventional line. The same demand- will also pro bably extend to the districts supplied by the Chartered Company, from Park-lane on the west to the City boundary on the east, and from Oxford•street and Holborn on the north to the Thames and Vauxhall-bridge on the south. The various other metro -1 p litan companies who have supported the two City companies in the uniform price ut 6s. will also feel more or hss the deft ction of the latter from the uniformity compact. Be that as it may, it is impossible rot to foresee that the concession of cheaper gas must ere long be ex• tended by the existing companies considerably beyond the limits to which it is at present proposed to confine it. ST. GEORGE'S HOSPITAL.--The prises in the me dical school of St. George's Hospital for the past ses sion were distributed yesterday in the presence of • numerous body of spectators by the Dean of West minster, who, in awarding the honours, made acme very interesting observations upon the importance of the different departments of study in which they had been won.

No. I. There are but few who will fail to welcome this new publication; none, certainly, who, on welcoming it, will throw the initial number aside without having derived from it—what it undertakes to impart—both amusement and instruction. We greet an old friend with a new face in Eliza Cook's Journal—one en deared to us by the recollection of so many common joys and sorrows blent together, of so many conge nial thoughts and sympathies shared between the poetess of Alelaia and her readers. Eliza Cook is as sociated with the holy memories of • our child hood. The simple strains she has sung so musically in her " unpremeditated verse," call to the mind of each of us those thousand end one re- membrances of youth which, trivial as they may ap pear in themselves, are beautiful from the fact of their preservation—the flies of memory embalmed in the amber of song! Her melodious voice has summoned up again to our vision the old bLrn, and the green meadow, and the cowslips, and the pet dog, and the " story books," once dear to us as fairyland, and prized as though they had been sacred, " Beloved as fable, yet believed as truth." We take a volume of " Eliza Cook" with us when we stroll between the hedgerows, as naturally as we take Falconer in a cruise, or Thomson in a fruit garden, or Herrick after a merrymaking, as na►urally as we open Waller in a drawing-room, or Somerville in a park, or Day in a sugar plantation, or Walton when we go an-angling. We mail( her pages— accordingly as it may be summer or autumn:- with a dead leaf or a pansy; in spring a crocus leaf; in winter a leaf of holly. The charm of her ballads is like the air sung by Scrooge's niece, " a thing you could whistle in two minutes," yet with a tone so sweet and plaintive that it revives in fancy " the merry days when we were young," as if with the sound of an enchantment. Eliza Cook's poetry will live—live in the hearts of "the people," for ate has ever ministered to nature, truth, and love—while, to use the comical travestie of one of those old minor poets of England who are too little borne in remembrance (Sir John Henry Moore) — "Full many an elegy has mourned its fate, Beneath some pasty, cabin'd, cribb'd, confined; Fu'l many an ode has soared in lofty state, Fix'd to a kite, and quivering in the wind." And not only has she sung in tender breathings of "fa miliar song ;" she has poured forth stern and inspiring numbers, calculated to help the work of legitimate le gislation, and lead a people to right and noble feeling. Familiar as we are with the powers of Elie Cook as a poetess, we r e j o i ce t o greet her in her new character as a literary journalist. Her career in editing the new periodical here under consideration opens favourably with the auspices derived fr,:m her past reputation. She his before her not a cold and scrutinizing public, but a public whose old friendship renders her reception only remarkable for its cordi ality. We like the plain, honest, home• speaking in her prefatory remarks, " A Word to my Readers." But we like still better her musical retrospect of " Ten Years Ago." Listen to her carolling of all that has passed during that interval between herself and those acquainted with her compositions : " Since then we've mingled cheerfully within our House. held Room,' Ye've heard me sing ' Old Dobbin's' worth, and tell ' Old Paicher's' doom, Ye hailed me in my Murray Plaid,' and listened to my strain, When I;ke a baby in a field I wove my Daisy' chain; Ye took my simple Old Arm Chair,' ye knew it was a part _ _ Oi Lore's rich cedar tree, that Death had cut down in my heart: Ye smiled to sec my Old Straw Hat' laid by with earnest rhyme, And chorused when a 'People's Song' awoke }'our spirit chime; Oh! many& changeful carol lilt has knitted us I trow, Since firbt my 'Christmas Holly' fluarishtd, tell years age." "Knitted" thus together by those "changeful carol lilts," we doubt not but that the poetess and her readers will be still more amicably blended in sym pathy through the medium of her new Journal Among her contributors we already recognise " Sil verpen," known to us so long in the pages edited by Douglas Jerrold. The present contribution is a story, suggested by a very beautiful conceit, and called, somewhat eccentrically, " The Three Hya cinths before Heaven." The narrative is calculated to render every one who peruses it happier. " Proteus" descants admirably upon the advantages of " Cheap Reading," and good old Peter Parley, more garrulous than ever, prattles to his dear little children in " Les sons" which we are satisfied will prove very far from disagreeable. Silverpen has another contribution, most sensible in argument, on the "Early Closing Ques• tion." Eliza Cook herself bids us, in prose which almost rivals her poetry, "Make the best of it ;" and, among the other papers, we must not forget to mention the charming and epigrammatic column of "Diamond Dust." Such is the opening number of Eliza Co3h's Journal. AINS WORTH. " Crichton " continues with unflagging spirit ; the close of this instalment leaves Blount and his famous Druid in a very unpleasant, and, indeed, perilous position. A little allegory entitled " Ethnos "is euf ficiently appropriate tor the times w . e live in. shows how Ethnos (and who Ethnos 13 will be readily understood by calling to mind the new science of eth nology, or the study of races) is imprisoned, and how Force and Cunning and Fraud in vain endeavour to extricate him, till Hope, " who could bear' this no longer, ran off and fetched Virtue, who brought Freedom and Faith. Knowledge accompanied them, carrying a good handsome lantern to show the way." With such assistance it is not to be doubted that the emancipation of Ethnos was very speedily effected. " Cambrian Isles," No. 111., contains a graceful eulogium upon those impersonations of gracefulness— the fairy people. UNITED SERVICE. The United Service Magazine contains no less than fourteen articles of very various character, ranging "from grave to gay, from lively to severe," e.g., "Field Artillery of the principal European States ;" "Notes on Bridles, Saddles, and Stirrups ;" " Pic-nits versus Balls ;" and "Half-pay on the Pave." " Snake-charming" is an interesting anec dote concerning that most curious pecularity of the snake-tribe—their love of music. Besides these articles, we have "Adventures in Australia, " "A Week in Boston," "On the African Slave '. Grade," and "The Ariadne and Le Harpagon." THE ECLECTIC REVIEW. The Eclectic Review, as usual, does justice to its title by the diversified nature of its contents. The articles in the ay number turn our attention alter nately to Prussia and the Libyan Desert, to Art- Chemistry, and the " Duke of Argyle's Ecclesiasti cal History, to " Sutton's Poems," and " Quetelet's Theory of Probabilities," to the Rev. Jainna Shore, and to Revolutionized Italy, and finally to the Dis senters, their grievances and their policy. In one of these articles—the review of " Sutton's Poems," we find the following ju-t definition of the poet's mis sion :—" Their demands in nothing more a division of employment than in the work of promoting the progress of humanity. There are thousan ds wh o can mingle in the daily political contest, or who can pro secute the more tender cause of visiting the widow and the fatherless in their affliction.' But the true poet is a more rare personage It is his high and sacred duty-to retire into the closet of reflection and inspiration, and thence send forth the strains that kindle in a thoufand hearts the more practical efforts of human life. It is his sacred com mission to work in the good work of enl i ghten ing the darkness, and redressing the wrongs, andsoc.,lti mi ll io ns the sufferings of his fellows, by the hands o f that start at the trumpet-voice of his call, and labour in the warmth he has diffused. MIS CELLANE 0 JS. The principal article in the Metropolitan concerns Sir Robert Walpole, his life and administration, in which " honour due" is given to the twenty.years' Minister. In some verses to —, we find a—per haps accidental—plagiarism of Tennyson : Altiic's voice to thine, Is as water unto wine." The Sporting Review is adorned with a por trait of Chanticleer, the Winner of the Don-
