THE MAGAZINES. the scene between Harry North and his friend and intended brother-in-law, Sir Lionel Atherton, is very affecting. Sad are the trials that befall those nearest and dearest in separation, disunion and discontent; overwhelming the casualties that fall upon happy homes and cheerful hearths by civil war, and no tale can hardly be too terrible to be true that refers to the troublous times of the Commonwealth. " Thernam Antiqum Rediviv2e" is a very curious sketch of the thermal and vapoury baths of the ancients, revived. It may amuse some and instruct others in its elaborate details and particular illustrations. A most interesting article is that on Hunyadi. It is eloquently writen, and furnishes important details to dwell upon, while it concerns the life and actions of one who belongs to the noble band of patriots who are as gems set in history to illumine the darkness and redeem the meanness of its cha racters. They are, in the words of Macaulay, " immortal with the immortality of truth." It is here said that "Hunyadi may be considered as the incarnation of all the principles and aspirations of Hungary," lie is the ideal type and symbol of his nation. The German historians have not done justice to Hungary and her great men, and it is said " the authors of general histories have been very neglectful of this grand mediaeval figure. They mention him briefly on one or two great occasions, whilst in his fatherland Hunyadi is the object of the most splendid national legends. He is the great militant Christian of the fifteenth century, something between a saint and a hero—much of both." This essay is by Professor de Vericour, who has before written papers of this sort, and it is remarkably well done, in a spirit worthy of its subject, and animated by a right appreciation of so renowned a hero. The following oxtract is an evidence of the style : Blackwood. There is more than the average share of attraction in this month's number, and Maya seems inclined to begin the new year in an auspicious manner. The remarks on the "Purist's Prayer-book" are worthy of attention, and the strictures passed seem just, when the ex triordinary nature of the contemplated change is considered. It is truly observed that, to alter the present arrangement of the Prayer-book, as regards the words, is not even necessary to effect the purpose of shortening the service ; and all who possess any regard for really impressive language will be slow to agree in the plan proposed by the remodellers, of substituting different phrases for some of the most effective passages in the prayers. These alterations do not even answer the proposed end of making the prayers suitable to common understandings. " Can any one but themselves imagine that it is any improvement to substitute wandered' for ' erred and strayed,' or that the leadings of our own wills' is more intelligible or more impressive than ' the devices and desires of our own hearts;'" and it is surely easier to teach the little one that he has been made the " child of God, than that he was dedicated to His service at the baptismal font." It is mentioned, as an obvious inconsis tency, that while such substitutions are made as "many" for "manifold," and "truth" for "troth," the words " let" and " prevent" in the collects, which would afford an infinitely more reasonable excuse for alteration, are suffered to pass without notice. Again, in the marriage service, whose quaint old formulas have a pathetic depth and earnestness which might have pleaded their cause, one would have hoped, with the sourest old maid that ever set up for a ritual re former, " for better for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health till death us do part," will it be believed that these revi sionists, as the arbiters of public taste, dismiss this time-honoured vow as a barbarism, and recommend instead, to save breath we suppose, that "A" should take "B" to be his true and lawful wife." Still more to be reprehended is the idea of making alterations to render portions of the service of a less servile character. Surely humility is the foundation of all devotion ; his the " Christian's vital breath, the Christian's native air," and the worship of the creature to the Creator, once divested of homage and adoration, becomes, indeed, as sounding brass or as a tinkling cymbal. The idea of prayex is beautifully expressed in Mont gomery's lines : " The deliverance of Belgrade had thrown the Hunga rian nation into delirious rejoicings. Soon after, the news followed that Hunyadi was dead. A mournful despair, dark forebodings for the future, succeeded to the exulta tions of an unexpected' and splendid victory. The people had lost their protector—the Secondary Magyar nubility their intrepid commander. The whole country was in tears. De Cilley alone could not wholly conceal his ex treme joy ; he conceived that now the kingdom of Hungary would be a prey to his cupidity. The King had the good taste to manifest a real or feigned sorrow. He confirmed Hunyadi's son, Ladislas, in all the dignities of his father, and publicly expressed his gratitude for the great com mander who had saved Hungary and preserved his crown. Christendom deplored the loss of the man, who, although so often abandoned by all, had worn out his life in the service of his country. The Pontiff ordered at Rome a solemn service in honour of the Magyar hero, and conferred upon him the title of ' Defender of the Christian Faith.' Mohammed 11., on hearing of the death of his great enemy, fell into a long, silent, brooding gloom ; and afterwards, with tears in his eyes, exclaimed that, in his age, no prince ever had such a subject. Nothing, therefore, was wanting to the glory of Hunyadi : neither the tears of the people, the enthusiastic admiration of those who had fought under his banner, nor the honourable testimony of the enemy he had vanquished. " Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear ; Ths upward glancing of an eye, When none but God is near. Prayer is the contrite sinner's voice, Returning from his ways, While angels in their songs rejoice, " In his private life he was modest, generous, extremely charitable, and tenderly attached to his family, and of a constant purity in his manners. His private virtues have even been acknowledged by the two hostile chroniclers, from whom have been derived all the attacks on his public life, but their hostility has succumbed ignominiously under the grave and impartial researches of history. The life of Hunyadi is, at this day, as it will ever be in the land of the Magyars, a holy legend—a model of genius, heroism, self denial, and probity—a principle of vitality and regeneration in the Hungarian people. "The calumnies of Do Cilley and a few dastard nobles pursued the hero after his death. They again took posses sion of the weak mind of the King ; they led him to acts of the grossest ingratitude and cruelty. Ladislag, Hunyadi's eldest son, who was in possession of his father's d gnities, found himself accused of an imaginary plot, submitted to a mock trial, and was one evening murdered by the headsman of the King, in an obscure corner of Buda, the King him self sitting by a window to witness his death. Subse quently (March, 1457), a formal decree was framed and published, by the same Prince and his council, destined to demonstrate the reality of all the calumnies accumulated on the father and the son, and written in the coarsest lan. guage. This royal document received a most effective refutation. The Hungarian nation, palpitating with hatred, flew to arms. The wretched royal calumniator fled to Vienna, then to Prague, where he died miserably, four months after the murder of Hunyadi's eldest son. A. National Diet was assembled under the walls of Pesth, for the election of a new sovereign; and in the midst of the enthusiastic delirious accla mations of the patriots, people, and nobility, Mathias Corvinus, a boy fifteen years of age, the second and worthy son of the saviour of Hungary, was proclaimed King on the 24th January, 1456. The hero Hunyadi thus received, in death, an eternal crown of gratitude, unpa ralleled in history." There is a second part of the " Knights of Malta/ It contains some passages which attract the atten tion in the record of that order. The description of Rhodes is very pleasing: "An island famous in song and story; poets, philosophers, historians, and jurists, have combined to recount its glories and to sing its praise from the epic scroll of Homer to the enamelled lines of Horace, the name of Rhodes gleams upon many a poetic page." " Manchester, its Social Aspect," is the theme of some remarks, and in the beginning it says that, as the life of every great man affords a remarkable illustration of some emphatic truth, so it seems equally to hold that the character of every great city is the illus tration of some peculiar principle. This is in ac cordance with the passage in " Coningsby," which says that a great city whose image dwells in the . is th. ( RAMP arcnt iapn. 4:ntl referring to nl t all ne town now b e fore us, observes that " What art was to the ancient world, science is to the modern its distinctive faculty. Instead of the city of the Violet Crown, a Lancashire village has expanded into a mighty region of warehouses and factories, but, rightly considered, Manchester is as great a human exploit as Athens." There arc vari ous points of interest in this sketch of the great commercial city. Among other articles worthy of notice may be mentioned " Notes on New Books." And say, 'behold, he prays - ." Those who wish to see the service shortened will be the last to agree to its solemn sentences being transformed to everyday jargon, to suit uncultivated minds, who very likely will understand neither form ; and this attempt, however well meant, is certain to prove a decided failure. " Uncivilised Man" is a sketch that gives a good deal of general information. It is said that difficult as it may be to define civilisation, it bears somewhat the same relation to the condition of barbarism as science to ordinary knowledge. The peculiar characteristics of the Indians are here described in a very interesting manner. "Norman Sinclair" is continued, and this instalment is very entertaining ; the Clever Man finishes his story and fully carries out the descrip tion of a genius in the Lady of Lyons," as one who knows everything arid can do nothing. " Horror : a True Tale," is very cleverly written, but so horrible that it is really undesirable to peruse it, and on some nervous or morbid persons it might produce an unfavourable effect. There is a paper on English Embassies to China which treats of a question uppermost in many minds just now. The article entitled "The Political Year" is a very good one, and many of its prophecies will doubtless be fulfilled when the ensuing session has witnessed a few more of Mr. Gladstone's mar vellous and miraculous budgets. It truly states that in home affairs there is but one very pressing subject of thought, the state of our finances. As one may suppose, Mr. Gladstone does not figure very favourably in the criticism of our monetary affairs, but those who are not of the politics of this magazine, when they remember their heavy income-tax, and behold their starving countrymen who are ruined to please French artisans, may subscribe to the truth of these strictures, "We have a Finance Minister the most reckless and the most dangerous that we have ever known, uncertain, headstrong, blundering, contradictory, utterly unreliable, we cannot help wondering how long this very tragic farce is to last ; surely it can not last long, surely the end is near at hand." After criticising the general course of the Chancel lor of the Exchequer's policy, it is wisely urged that nothing can be mor. l -ric ,,,,, eus than his plan -7.„.Lus nothing arrangements UUL 1,1 6 . " season of difficulty, arguing that, ilthe change 10 An better, we retrieve our luck ; while, if for the worse, we cannot be much worse than we were before. " Well might Lord Derby say that this is not statemanship but the scheming of an impro vident gambler who is ready to throw double or quits." The following passage is perfectly true as well as forcibly put; for let anyone possessed of a general knowledge of Parliamentary affairs imagine what Mr. Gladstone would say if any of his numerous rivals in the Chancellorship of the Exchequer had proposed such schemes as his of last year: — As we run over this wonderful series of blunders, we can help wishing that Mr. Gladstone were the critic and not the Chancellor, the judge and not the offender. What a torrent of indignant eloquence we should have heard What wisdom would have been dispensed to our willing ears I What solemn warnings would have startled us from our slumbers I Gladstone is the offender, and he all but escapes. The House of Commons passes his budgets, one after the other, with the faintest criticisms. We are befooled and disgraced, we know not how. Wonderful is eloquence, but almost equally wonderful is a reputation for eloquence. With an actor who has a reputation for comic talent, an audience will laugh when he is not in the least funny. A preacher who is sup' . osed to be pathetic will set his congre gation weeping if he merely blows his nose. A Chancellor of the Exchequer, who has the finest voice of any speaker living, and who has the name of being our greatest House of Commons orator, silences opposition by a wave of his hand, and carries his hearers along with him, before the first sentence is out of his mouth. It is a reputation of this kind that has converted 1860, to which we had been look ing forward as the year of financial grace, into a year of un imaginable financial folly—such folly as we hope never to see repeated in this country, Fraser's Magazine. The clever and agreeable author of " Digby Grand," and many another pleasant work of fiction, commences a new tale with the opening year. It bears the somewhat unsatisfactory title of " Good for Nothing ; or all Down Hill," so that we may anticipate a downward course for its hero. A group of charcters is introduced, sketched with the writer's accustomed skill and including very oppo site ranks of life. The recently published volumes on the life of Schleiermacher, a well-known German theologian and a man of great intellec tual power, are the subject of an interesting article. The writer before us justly blames the extreme prolixity of the work, whose copious I translations from private correspondence are likely to give to the English reader, unacquainted with the facts, the impression that Schleiermacher's time was mainly spent in writing sentimental epistles, and that his chief repute was as a complete letter writer. Though held in high estimation among his own people, he is little known in this country, and those who wish to acquaint them selves with the leading features of his life and character, will have a good opportunity of doing so in the article before us, which contains a succinct sketch of his career. " A January Day" gives us an animated picture of the pleasures of skating and of some of its pains too, for in the midst of his rhapsodies the writer makes a descent through the ice, and finds that, like every other descent, it is easier than the return. The second paper on the life and writings of Thomas de Quincey contains much thoughtful and discri minative criticism on the multifarious works of the English Opium eater. The story of " Ida Con way" progresses very unsatisfactorily as regards its fair heroine, who is fast losing her place in the reader's favour. Shirley contributes a humorous but somewhat flippant paper " On the Propriety of Abolishing the Writing of Books." The best passage is the concluding paragraph, in which the writer comments on the danger of totally neglect ing our older worthies among the multifarious attractions offered us by the literature of the day. An essay on Sir Francis Head's recent work on " The Horse and his Rider" has some pleasant dis cursive writing on hunters and hunting." " The Modern Medusa" is the title of an amusing paper on the miseries of short-sighted persons, and the " Chronicle of Current History" gives a fair outline of the course of events abroad and at home. Colburn's Hew Monthly. The political article in this number is on the Venetian question. It discusses the various aspects of the Italian puzzle with patience and ability, but we cannot subscribe to the theories it advocates. It recommends that England should form a close alliance with Austria and Prussia, in order to oppose the desire of France to possess herself of Venetia on the one hand and of the Rhine on the other. The French supremacy in Europe will be paralysed, says the writer, so long as Prussia holds the Rhine and Austria the Venetese, and these two Powers will be able to offer England assistance in the event of war with France. Setting aside higher motives, we should have thought past experience would have afforded a truer estimate of the worth of such an alliance. The truth of Constance's apo strophe, " Thou ever strong upon the stronger side," was not restricted to the days of King John. The lessons of experience would be useless indeed were England to depend on the aid of her quondam allies of the Russian war. The writer admits that " Austria's absolutistic tendencies must estrange her, were not interest in this case far more predominant than principles." It will be long indeed, let us hope, before English policy is based upon such a contemptible doctrine in days when the force of the national feeling is so readily felt by its rulers. Any attempt to support the Austrian tyranny in Italy on the part of English statesmen would be a s unpopular as it would be ridiculous. Sir Nathaniel brings Bubb Dodington, tb e intriguing politician of the last century, into his gallery of portraits,and remarks ' that he presented os good an ant itype of the famous character of Rigby, as by general consent another Secretary of later times did. " The Curse of Wulfheirnheig" is one of those dismal German legends of mystery and murder which Mrs. Bushby seems lately to pa!ronise. " East Lynne," another story which bangs upon an undiscovered murder, but wears at least a healthy English aspect, is continued with interest. Events seem likely to reach a crisis before long. We hear no more of the wretched Isabel, who is supposed 'by her relatives to have perished in a railway accident, but Mr. Carlyle is going to encounter the risks of matrimony a second time. A sensible paper by Cyrus Redding analyses with much truth and some severity the plots of the great German dramatists. The poetical contributions are this month above the average. They consist of some verses by Nicholas Michell on the old year, and another of the Stereoscopic Glimpses by W. C. Kent, showing us the Father of English poetry basking in the summer sun in the garde❑ at Wood-. stock, while the tellers of the Canterbury tales appear to his wandering fancy. We cite the fol lowing verses showing the opening of the poetical panorama : 'Tis a nest of fragrant blossoms Where the greybeard poet dreams ; 'Tis the very bank for basking Where the sunlight round him streams, While before him troop rare fancies, Lit by visionary gleams. Comes the Knight upon his war lorse, In half-armour, jingling by; In his mail-stained fustian gipon, His sheathed sword slung at his thigh ; His serene mouth dimpling sweetly Under calm, sedatest eye. Comes the Squire, a radiant stripling, With an air of courtly grace, In his curling locks luxuriant, With youth's down upon his face; His green surcoat bloom-embroidered, Like some cowslip. sprinkled chase. Comes the Monk on ambling palfrey As a berry brown and sleek, His bald pate all glazed and glistening, Flushed his health-anointed cheek; You may hear the supple leather Of his boot on stirrup creak I Not like his with rich furs purfied Are the Friar's loose-hanging sleeves—. Filled with stores of homely baubles Strown o'er every hearth he leaves : 'Neath grey cowl his blithe eyes sparkle Like the stars on frosty eves. Loitering comes the stalwart Yeoman— One of Lincoln's forest-band— Silver horn swung at his baldric, Russet gauntlet on his hand ; In his grasp a mighty yew-bow, Whence he drives his levin-brand. Slouching, next, the tawny Shipman Rears his rough but limber form ; Crisp as though with rime his ringlets, Large his generous heart and warm ; Thick his beard all blowsed and shaken By how many a briny storm Sauntering past the musing Poet, Still they move, that motley throng— Pilgrims from the Southwark Tabard, Numbered in immortal song . Towards thy holy shrine, a. Becket, Aye their shades shall glide along Temple Bar Magazine. ' ~• z U There are several articles in this number, some of which contain a fair share of interest and infor mation. A new story is commenced by the Editor, which is called "The Seven Sons of Mammon." It promises well so far, and it a l rea dy a tt a i ns t o a climax of horror, inasmuch as the eldest of the tribe is supposed to meet with a dreadful death in an accident on the Paris Railway. As the body is so much injured that the features are totally unrecognisable, and the hero's death is taken for granted because of the portfolio beside the corpse containing letters of his name. it is to be presumed that some mistake may have occurred, and that Capt. Hugh Goldthor pe may again revisit the story. The tale entitled, "For Better, for Worse," is con• tinned, and the decisive step is taken, the deed perpetrated on which the events of the narrative are to depend, and Ethelind is married to Sir Philip. It is apparent to the reader that a sad fate and a dark destiny await the bright and beautiful young bride, and that she is taking a lasting farewell of her own family to enter into another where she will be coldly received, while her husband is sure to prove selfish and exacting. " A Financial Difficulty" pre• sents a most amusing sketch of monetary troubles, which are ludicrous in their very misery. The grand coup at the end is most effectively told. Mr. Smith, as he calls himself, was rushing away from a suspicious looking individual who he thought meant to serve him with a writ, but on being caught by the pursuer, the foe proved a friend, for he only meant to give him a subpcena to appear as a witness in some case on trial. Hence the penniless man became possessed of a guinea which entirely altered his position, matured his plans and was finally the means of his becoming prosperous and wealthy. " Annus 11Iirabilis" is the title of a paper which, as may be supposed, takes into consideration the events of the year—a striking analysis is given of the past wonders abroad and at home. It is said thus—" To the ordinary - '- n, iove LUUM. seem a year of wonders. For the face of the earth has been changed, and its governors have been cast out, and new rulers ap pointed in their place. The captives have been set free, and the most hopeless nation in Europe glad dened with freedom complete and triumphant. In this same year, which we must perforce call won derful, the eldest son of the Queen of England has stood bareheaded before the tomb of the man who tore the fairest jewel in the British crown from his great-grandfather." There are some remarks on the subject, "What our coals cost us," and prefixed to them is the appropriate quotation— " Wives and mithers, maist despairin', Ca' them lives o' men." There are various other topics descanted upon, among which are an instructive paper on "Light," "A visit to the Iron-clad Ship," etc. The poetry called " London Poems," is on the Dead, it is written in a feeling and expressive manner. The following verses are pleasing : The Dead I They have laboured to show Earth and Heaven a closer communion ; We are nearer the Dead than we know, And our sleep is the sign of the union ; And we daily grow nearer cur Dead Who have laboured and fled, The types of a duty completed Let us on—we shall join them at length, Let us labour, for unto our strength The labour before us is meted. We labour together—'t is best ; We slumber with Hope for a neighbour, And slowly departing to rest Find the infinite end of our labour ; We toil in an infinite crowd, And our toil is a cloud The end of our pilgrimage screening— But God, if His worshippers weep, In the links of His death and their sleep Hides hints of a beautiful meaning. Sleep, City, and symbol the time When our sleep bursts to lovely awaking, When Death shows the Temple sublime Our toil is unconsciously making I Each is weak, each is small, each is vain, In his pride and his pain, But he leans on the rest it he falter ; And if taken together we show The work that must brighten and grow, When the Dead are the stones of God's Altar I Macmillan's Magazine. Macmillan shows us a very attactive table o contents, whose promises are fairly kept. In the first place it is a matter of congratulation to its readers that a story is begun by Henry Kingsley, author of Geffory Hamlyn," and brother of the brilliant rector of Eversley. It is entitled "Raven shoe," and bids fair to be interesting in matter and graphic in style. The other work of fiction, " Tom Brown, at Oxford," proceeds with spirit. Poor Tom is sadly perplexed by his complicated love affairs and when he takes refuge from theoretical puzzles in the practical employment of watching for poachers, he is not more fortunate. Mrs. Norton and Miss Muloch are stanch supporters of this serial, each of these ladies contributing two papers to the present number. An article on " Books of Gossip," by Mrs. Norton, is well worth reading, both for the substantial justice of the remarks and for the writer's warm defence of her illustrious ancestor— " The orator, dramatist, minstrel, who ran Through each mode of the lyre, and was master of all." She resents with generous indignation the careless calumnies which are so often heaped on the names of departed celebrities by so-called " anecdotical biographers," and which are especially the lot of one so versatile in talent and heedless in character. Hi s faults, as his defender justly remarks, were those of his age. The vice most associated w ith holsnsnani nt was, she observes, " the habitual and ate c ly e held temptation of the time," and unfo.rtua the day. potent sway over most of the cele.brinatienneoyf matters, With regard to . his recklessness e f i l;uction of Drury she pleads in his defence . the whole fortune was Lane Theatre, in which his embarked. She also askswhy such a hard measure is to be dealt t o him above his contemporaries. "Fox's debts . were paid three times—who paid Sheridans'? The Prince of. Wales had his El Dorado in a submissive nation and a subservient Parliament." In the biography, which has so justly awakened her indignation, she finds also unworthy sneers at Sheridan's parentage. She a sks how it happened, if all these asser tions against him are true, " that a man labouring under such disadvanta ges o f birth, and also de scribed as a common-place swindler, drunkard, and driveller, excelled in everything he attempted ; and from the obscure son of the Bath actor and schoolmaster became Minister of State and com panion of princes." The latter dignity was cer tainly a very questionable advantage to poor Sheridan, but the fact of his eminence remains the same whatever the result himself. While regret ting, as all his admirers must regret, the errors and misfortunes which clouded the character and che quered the career of - onesobrllliantly and variously gifted, we readily coincide with thewriter's ans , Ter to careless depreciators of his genius. " The God-given power is nat so disposed of. Nor will even the dark thunderciGuds of faulty imprudence blot out the light which shines so clearly above and beyond. Unless Richard Brinsley Sheridan had been immeasurably superior to the majority of the men amongst whom he lived, he could not have so overleapt the barriers of poverty, want of connexion, and class jealousies, as to attain the celebrity and position he did attain." Mrs. Norton's other contribution is a poetical one, entitled " The Herald Star," a Christmas poem, containing some old Christmas thoughts, which, if not or i g i na l, are ex p resse d w i t h sim plicity and poetic feeling. The author of " John Halifax" also appears in prose and verse, the prose tieing some true and thought ful "-Words about Sorrow," showing an intimate acquaintance with mankind's übiquitous companion and the verse, some lines on " Fergus's Seat," which are less successful. There is a very interest ing paper on Diamonds, containing a good deal of curious information about those beautiful gems. "A Middle Watch Confession" tells a sailor's love story. The Editor gives us "An Apology for the Celt" in reviewing some recent works on Northern popular legends ; and there are also papers on " Venetia" and " Pekin," the two great topics of the day. POLICE IN7ELT,Iry'ENCE—(This Lay). MARLBOROUGH-STREET. ANNOYING A PROCTOR'S CLERK.—Margaret M'Cartby, a hawker, was charged before Mr. Tyrwhitt with annoy ing and causing a crowd of persons to follow Mr, William Nelson Mackrill, clerk to a proctor at Doctors'-commons, and residing at 5, Russell-grove, Vassal road, Brixton. Mr. Mackrill said he had been with two soldiers the previous evening to receive some money for one of them from an investment society in Pall-mall, and on leaving they went into a tavern in the Haymarket, and the prisoner came in selling flowers. She spoke to one of the soldiers, who offered to buy some of her, and on their leaving him the prisoner followed him the whole length of the Haymarket, abusing him all the way, and causing a crowd of about 100 persons to follow him. The prisoner said the complainant kept her speaking to him till the others got away. Mr. Mackrill said he certainly got the soldiers, as one of them had £35 in his pocket, and he had no wish to leave then in such company, to go away. . . _ Mr. Tyrwhitt said the complainant had no right what ever to be annoyed, and fined the prisoner 55., or seven days. Dublin ITniversity Magazine. The first paper is on " A Great Country's Cheap- est Defence," and in it are some sensible remarks on the volunteer forces. It states that " from first to last the volunteer movement in these realms has been one long surprising success." The following sug gestions as to the propriety of the Irish joining the volunteers are very fairly put, and all candid critics will coincide in their justice. It says that the idea that one portion of the British Islands should be deemed unworthy a privilege freely accorded to all the rest, is a conclusion which nothing short of moral certainty should befit any one seriously to affirm." The fact is certain as here affirmed that it is not the way to create truth by constantly sus pecting others of falsehood. " The only way to make men trustworthy is to show that you trust them, and the surest way of making Ireland loyal is to treat her as if you reckoned on her loyalty. Let her feel that England expects her to share the honour and the risk of defending both countries from foreign invasion, and there are few of her sons who will not readily and warmly answer to the call. To keep up any needless dis tinction between realms so long united under one Crown, is merely to strengthen the hands of the riotous and ill affected few at the expense of the loyal and peaceful many. "We Irish are a sensitive people, and the most loyal among us will not be the last to resent so sweeping an ex clusion from privileges open to the mass of our fellow sub jects across the water. We will ask for better reasons than have yet been shown, why the same people whose blood has been shed like water in the maintenance of British arms throughout other parts of the world, should still be declared unworthy to aid in guarding their own hearths and home steads from foreign defilement. We may ask if Ireland is no better now than she was before the Union—than she was even twenty or thirty years ago ? We can point to numbers of loyal men—Protestant and Roman Catholic — who would as soon think of turning their arms against each other as of joining in a plot to murder the Lord Lieutenant and blow up the Castle. Have the Irish militia proved generally dangerous 1 o the public peace, or peculiarly prone to quarrel among themselves ? Do the bulk of educated Irishmen really desire nothing better than a reign of uni versal bigotry ? Surely there is no lack of good men and true in Ireland, if only a fair effort be made to find them out. In our case it is useless to argue by the past alone during a period of continuous change. It will be wiser, as well as more generous, to draw a bill or two upon our future history. England is trusting somewhat to chance in her new mode of arming and building her ships of war. Let her consent to throw a little more bread upon the waters, in the shape of a small experiment at Irish volun teering. Begun with caution and carried on with a just regard for all rival claims and feelings, such an expe riment could hardly fall through in the long run. A be ginning might be made with companies of artillery in those districts where the people have hitherto been more pros perous or loss divided against each other. Power might be given the lords lieutenant to enrol only men of proven good character and peaceful habits. Protestants awl Ro man Catholics might be encouraged to serve together in the same ranks as readily as they often serve together in the ranks of her Majesty's regiments. The step is worth taking, and a failure will do the Government at least no harm:" A " House divided against itself," is concluded this time, and it is a most melancholy tale, yet there is much to attract in the pathetic style in which the sad facts are narrated. Courtenay North met her death in a brave spirit, and she made glorious the cause she had at heart by her trust and her courage. The conflicts that ensued within and without are here very ingeniously described, and THAMES. AN IRISHMAN'S VARIATIONS.—BITING A ROSE OFF. —A police• constable named Kelly, 130 11, a very useful officer, who has had great experience among the Irish people and the disorderlies in that terrible neighbourhood, Rosemary-lane, which has been, if possible, worse since it was renamed Royal Mint-street, came into the court to report to Mr. Yardley that two Irishmen, named John Burke and Jeremiah Harley, charged with an assault on the wife of the former, who were to appear this day, did not intend to do so, because Burke had since separated from his wife and the other had met a misfortune—his nose was bitten off, and he was in the London Hospital in a dangerous condition. Mr. Yardley—l directed you to watch the case, Kelly. The parties had all been quarrelling. The woman had a frightful face, indeed, but she was not blameless in the affair, and my object was to prevent any further violence towards her. Kelly said there was no immediate fear of that. The husband had since behaved well, and Harley was effec tually silenced, and prevented doing any mischief. Harley took the teetotal pledge soon after the examination at that court, a few weeks since, and behaved very well. A day or two before Christmas Harley met him, and said he had gone on very sober and steady, but he must have some variations on Boxing-day. He remonstrated with the man, but without effect, and Harley got drunk on Boxing day and had his variations. At night he was fighting with three of his countrywomen in Blue Anchor-lane, Rose mary-lane, and one of them fell upon him and bit his nose completely off. The poor fellow was in a very bad state in the hospital, and would have to lament his Boxing-day variations as long as he lived. He believed the nose was missing. Mr. Yardley directed Kelly to continue to watch the case, which he promised to do, and left the court. Ax IMPUDENT THlEE.—Alexander Ellis, a tall and powerful ruffian, aged 20, was brought before Mr. Yard ley charged with stealing a Goat. It appeared from the evidence of Isabella King, a girl whose parents keep a shop for the sale of second-hand goods, at 26, Wellington-place, Stepney, that the prisoner came there and asked the price of some goods, and while pretending to strike a bargain, ho snatched a coat off her arm and ran out of the shop, closing the door after him. She pursued him, and called out " Stop thief !" and he was overtaken and secured. • •• • cry of " Stop thief." He ran after the prisoner, but as he was encumbered with his heavy overcoat he could not overtake him, but the neighbours joined in the chase, and after a long one the prisoner was fairly run to the earth, for he fell in the middle of the road, and before he could get upon his legs there were a dozen upon him, and after a great resistance he was secured. The coat, which was only worth is. 61, was thrown upon the ground and recovered. Mr. Yardley asked if the prisoner was known, to which Bridgland replied that Ellis had been convicted of felony three times, and on one occasion convicted by a jury of the Middlesex sessions. Mr. Yardley said the prisoner was a most impudent fel low, and convicted him summarily, and sentenced him to two months imprisonment and hard labour for the unlawful possession of the coat.
