" I have, &c. " HENRY TORRENS, Adjutant-General. " To General Officers Commanding on Foreign Stations." BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE. • It is surprising with what admirable tact this Magazine falls in with the ruling prejudices of the day. A few years since, the prevailing taste was all for i ljgh t, humorous, sad fanciful miscellanies in periodicals—now It =0 much in favour of the useful and didactic, discarding the ornamental almost in toto. Christopher North has accordingly, despite the pi ejudices of age, given up his own favourite literary pre p oss essi on s, and after glittering for nearly ten years as a first rate star in the galaxy of humour; has now taken it into his bead to turn political economist and vent his spleen on Mac culloch. The article "On the Cora Laws" in the present number of his Magazine, though written like most other papers in Blackwood, with spirit, and a certain, showy as sumption of information, is tinged with bigotry and party spirit. It takes the ultra side of the question; protests sgainst any alteration in the existing laws regarclinggrain,and pee considerably out of its way to attack Macculloch. In fact, it is not so much a dissertation on the Corn Laws, as a satire on Maculloch ; not a diatribe aga inst a system—but against an individual, and so far is objectionable. " The Subaltern in America" is a vivid and interesting detail : I full of pleasant, small, and familiar realities; with , a graphic power of description far superior to what is usually to be met with in a Magazine. There is great force of expression in the following glowing little bit of description: , ' "Some were lying at full length upon the grads, buk ug in the beams of a sultry sun, and apparently made loriipyisttohr Very feeling of the green sod under them." Thl3 passage it I should be observed, alludes to some soldiers who have for the first time stepped ashore after a tedious cons :c ement of • some months $n ship-bmit v .„cfaude woad. late hinted just such an expression in an evening landscape, had he taken to paint this incident. As another proof of our subaltern's warmth of colouring, we extract the follow ing night-sketch. The sun had hardly set, when every leaf of our tree became alive with insects, which sent forth a ceaseless chattering, not per haps loud enough to break the repose of a sound sleeper but saf ficiently audible to drive sleep from the eyes of persons totally un accustomed to it, and neither infirm nor weary. It was, hcrwerer, upon the whole, an extremely pleasant sound ; and it MA not the only sound which gave us pleasure. Stores continued to be co , vied from the ships to the shore long after nightfall, and the ctif of the seamen on the decks, the splash of oars in the water, and the heavy noise of casks and carriages, as they were rolled into the bivouac, all had an effect in keeping alive the excitement, which men ever experience on first taking the field, afters long interval of quiet. Then there was the hum of conversation from the bivouac itself; a song, or part of a song, heard frost time to time.;' and, as these died away, the murmur of the river, rolling its large and sluggish body of water towards the sea, and breaking as well upon its own banks as upon the bows of the ships, now at anchor in its tide. Each and all of these made a music .to the ear, which the ear could not refuse to take in ; whilst, for the sense of sight, the fire-flies furnished ample occupation, as in nu merous clusters they pitched upon the boughs overhead, and shed a soft light through the foliage, such as legends tell once illumi' nated the hall of Oberon, or Titania's bower. To bs grave and serious, these sights and sounds, some of them perfectly novel, and all so different from those to which we had of late been accust omed, long hindered us from making so much as an effort to close our eyes. But the enthusiasm even of soldiers will not resist the en croachments of drowsiness for ever. The sounds of human labour and human voices gradually died away—those produced by in sects and the stream became confused and blended together—the splendour of the fire-fly became more and more indistinct, and was at last seen no more. Above all, our grog was 'drunk out, and our cigars expended ; so, laying ourselves at length upon the grass, we were soon fast asleep. " The Death-scene by Delta," is pretty, interesting, and all that, with a broken heart, somewhere about the twenty fourth line, kept in pathetic countenance by a sunset, with a parcel of bilious-looking clouds about it : but the poem is really pretty, and deserves any thing but ridicule. " Selwyn in search of a Daughter," is descriptive and di versified, but possesses nothing about it this month equal to the Sail along the Lake of Geneva, in the last. The article entitled " Civilization of ' Africa, Sierra Leone" is replete throughout with sound sense and spirited observation , and pro ver the comparative worth lessness of one of the most popular of our African colo nies. It should be read with attention by all classes.— The " Noctes" are this month heavy, and what is worse, sentimental ; the eternal James Hogg may be a very amusing eternity in Edinburgh, but he is a great bora in this part of the world. Really Mr. Blackwood should look to subjects of more general entertainment than the buck-teeth of an Ettrick Shepherd. But verbtiet sap. .4L . ..... . ..- - -?& : --. --''' sri /0 -, .

We regret to perceive, judging at least from internal evidence, that the Smiths have of late been somewhat sparing in their contributions to this popular periodical ; they are men who know town well, who possess a quick perception of its follies, and who consequently never fail to amuse the majority of light readers. The " New Monthly" too, being from its nature peculiarly adapted to please town-folks, the absence of these brother wits is more to be regretted. However, in lieu of better, we must put up with the present contributors, among the most dis tinguished of whom, we recognize Leigh Hunt. " The Dic tionary of Love and Beauty," is manifestly from his sprightly and discriminatingpen, and is written in his first style of ex cellence, purified of all cockney alloy. From the very de lightful an ecdotical paper " The Clubs of Saint James's," we quote the following extract :•^ FIGHTING FITZGERALD—LORD Castxtroan•—After the scene at Brookes's, between fighting Fitzgerald and the member' of the club, already detailed, it may not be amiss to follow the duellist to the last of his exploits, and his final exit. Those reader who are not aware of other particulars in Mr. Fitagerald'f history, will wondor at his extraordinary success as a duellist; and that, too, not so much from his prowess, as that he should so con stantly have escap e d, almost without a hurt !
