There is plenty of diversity in these details, and the leader turns from the freaks of a Garibaidian envoy to discuss the subject of the " Organ Nuisance." For this a most original remedy is suggested. The paper on the "Chevalier d'lndustrie of Our Day " is a very smart sketch, and no one who reads of his impudent career but will con- cnr in the remark here made, that the fact of such a man flourishing for twenty years is a disgrace to the police of Europe. These social swindlers are a deplorable set, and the mischief they effect is incalculable. The manner in which this adroit shuffier was once entrapped is a very telling anecdote, and really roads like the denouement of some skilful plot, There is much truth in the explanation given rf the successes of such men that no one is willing to confess to having been their dupes, and thus the im punity with which they often get out of scrapes and avoid the consequences of [their exploits. "Mr. Knight's Re- miniscsnces" is the subject of an article that may prove 01 interest to some. It refers to the manners and customs o, bygone days, and there is sufficient originality introduced into tho criticism to save it from t)ceotning a dull or tame reflection i,f the book discussed. The description of the modern omnibus is most ludicrous, and the minor miseries attending its transit are familiar to all who have been among the luckless passengers in such vehicles. There is much to attract notice in this epitome of a remarkable work, and whether it recalls old times or presents now pictures of their predecessors to the reader, it will alike prove agreeable and entertaining. "Tony Butler" is continued, and some rather striking incidents are narrated. Mrs. Trafford does not act wisely in her haste to mend matters, and altogether the sparring that takes place about Maitland is not very creditable. Yet it may not be lees true in its delineation, for many may have noticed how often the chance arrival of an important individual disturbs the peace of a little commu- nity and frightens them out of all propriety. Tony does not improve as a hero, ho is captious and uncertain, and shows how much he needs the refining influence of the world to tone d,,wn his abruptness and temper his hot haste and vehement demeanour. " Our Neutrality" is the political article of the number, and sketches in a masterly manner the chief events and most notable incidents attending the momentous, but discreditable epoch in onr annals that records the doings of our Govern ment with the belligerent states of America. Things im- press one more forcibly when they are put down in order some little time after their occurrence, and certainly the resunad of events here chronicled must disenchant all but the inveterate partisans of the Government. The case is very forcibly put, when it is asked if "our dignity is main tained by the spectacle of the Government dragging the Alexandra oaee from tribunal to tribunal, with Mr. Adams clamouring at their heels, and Mr. Seward threatening war." It is quite refreshing, amid the infatuated'remarks made by prejudiced people, to meet with eo outspoken an advocate of the rights of nations as the writer of this article, and one so impressed with the importance of maintaining inviolate the honour and interests of England. " Annie and her Master" is a peculiar sketch that will be sure to find its admirers. The quaint simplicity of the heroine is a pleasing contrast to the hackneyed class of portraitures one is constantly meeting with, and the whole of the tale is given to us with an animation of manner and a pathos of description that impart a reality and interest to the narra tive. " A Letter from Sohleswig-Holstein" concludes the number, furnishing a graphic account of the proceedings that have taken place there, and, almost as a matter of course, winding up with a diatribe against the policy of England. This is the neverfailing conclusion at which all arrive, in fact, who speculate upon the future, or review the position of the present, or take_a retrospective glance at the incidents of the past. DUBLIN. —There is the second part of " Unfortua nate Doctor Dodd" in this number. It sketches the closing incidents of his sad career with much ear nestness and expression, and the reader will be able to form a more correct estimate of the motives which led to the commission of the fatal deed of forgery than doubtless he has ever done before. Certainly, the account of this man's fall is a warning to those who indulge in reckless extravagance, and still more to those who con vert means to an end, and attempt to justify to themselves the perpetiation of acts which ought to be known on the in stant to offend the laws of justice. The account of the great excitement which this affair awakened in London is describ ed in a v ery impressive manner, and it is not likely that the "tragic story of Doctor Dodd" will find many parallels in the annals of crime. " Yaxley and its Neighbourhood" is continued at some length. In this instalment the story reaches a crisis of considerable importancegood old lady dies suddenly, the will is lost, and the hapless little Lizette is an outcast and a wanderer on the face of the world. Various other complications arise, which promise t o ma ke the tale very momentous as it proceeds on its course. This is a carefully-defined and well-illustrated story, so far as it goes. " Felon Biography" is the title of I a n article that is interesting. It refers to the memoirs of Jane Cameron (reviewed several months since in The Sun), and this suggestive subject is suitably treated in the exposition here met with. Nothing is stronger and sadder in the whole course of life studies than to dwell on the careers of these Children of Night. The account of the girl committing her first robbery to get a penny to go to a dance meeting is most peculiar, but the stamp o f truth is impre ssed u p on all that is here recorded, and we e feel that we have before us no theatrical represen tation of bravoes or drawing-room similitude of manners, but real characters, who are naturally drawn, as the sad outline of their blighted lives is related. "Wicked Cap tain Walshawe , of Waulin is a stran g,O sketch that will g" suit the lovers of the horrible, and is certainly told with spirit and ingenuity. "Earlier Type of the Sensational Novel" is a carefully written paper that presents us with some strange views of past literature. " Phases of Life in Federal America" is an article that will attract at the present time, when everything of a transatlantic character has become so important. It brings before us many notice able traits of society in the States referred to. FRASER.—A lengthened article on "Russia and her Dependencies" opens this number, but the reader, who is not inclined to linger over a some what dry subject, will quickly turn the pages to a careful and readable essay on the writings of the popular loyalist wipra Engliela literature line lately lost, ~l Z PRICE ...... ...4d. STAMPED ....sd. The critic enters very fully into the distinctive features of Mr Thackeray's style, and the merits of his various works. He is far from bestowing unqualified approval or admiration on all, and his article is, indeed, one cf the most judicious which has appeared since Thackeray's death. Nevertheless he accords, as all must do, high:praise to him as one who will always retain a foremost place among our literary chieftains. Mr. Gardiner's " History of James I." is discussed, and the historian appears to have formed no favourable opinion of our Scottish king. "His body, his mind, and hie heart appear alike to have been wanting in that central force by which the human frame and the human intellect are at the same time invigorated and controlled." " French Life" is the title of a very pleasant and lively paper, which introduces us into the privacy cf a Parisian appartement, and tells us little secrets about the domestic arrangements which invest a gay French establillireent with an air of do: mestic Comfort. " Our Private is the narrative of thy. 'wonders worked by some private -theatricals. The special virtues and qualifications of our matter-of-fact nineteenth century aro treated of, • and a comparison insti tuted with its predecessors—no very original subject. " A Campaigner at Home" is worth reading, and " The Story of Two Wives" tells a not impossible social tragedy. The last cuticle discusses a question which comes very forcibly home to most of us—" How may a Peace Income Tax be Supplanted ?" ST. JAMES'S.—" The Man in Chains" continues to be the most prominent feature in this magazine, and chiefly devotes itself in this instalment to the fortunes of Silvester Langdale. S. Scotian con tributes a paper on " Vompyres," reminding us of some of the horrible weird anpustitions that us , : to - b — renreerir tfib' aubjetf. account of the " Silver Mines of Freiberg in Saxony," and the first part of anew version of the old romance, whos hero and heroine are the dreaming poet and the beautiful Scottish Queen, a narrative in this instance penned more in accordance with the views of Miss Strickland than of Mr. Freud°. " Bertie Bray" is continued in the regular novelist fashion, and neither brother nor sister are con ducting themselves in the most honourable fashion. It is a story of London fashionable life, heartless beauties and their devoted admirers, old husbands and young wives, charming toilettes and sour elderly maidens, and consequently will find plenty of readers and admirers. " Lascelles Wraxall" initiates us into the mysteries that lie hidden beneath the cork of a champagne bottle, and Lieut. Wameford draws a vivid picture of the horrors of being " Abandoned at Sea." There is a very amusing little sketch entitled "Our Mys terious Subscriber," which narrates how the writer, a young; litterateur, was raised to the seventh heaven of delight by an appointment to the editorial ateff of the Puddleton Gazette. On arriving at the scene of his labours he made the acquaintance of the owner and projector of the paper—a new journal that was to take the world by storm. Oa the eve of its first ap pearance, however, the printers made an inopportune de mand for candles, the grocer refused an extension of credit, the new-comer had 31d. in his pocket, and the proprietor of the Puddleton Gazette not a sou. From this dilemma they were happily rescued by the advent of their first subscriber, who paid his quarter's subscription in advance. Such good luck does not, we fear, often fall to the lot of mortals. LE CORRESPONDANT, Mars 1864. Ch. Douniol. —A more than ordinarily attractive number of Le Correspondent has here made its appearance. Upon the opening paper we took occasion yesterday to comment in our leading columns —meaning the remarkable paper by the Cte. de Falloux (de l'Acad. Fr.) entitled " Introduction aux lettres de P. Lacer daire," these letters representing one half of the correspondence between Madame Swetchin and the great Dominican. Besides this—Rio descants here (upon the eve of the tercentenary) upon" La Religion de Shakspere"—Leon Lagrange has a most appropriate criticism upon the works and the career of the French Rubens Eugene Delacroix— and, at the tail of several other excellent contributions, per haps the most remarkable of these being the one by the Abb6 Meignan, upon another phase of La Crise Religieuse —Leon Lavedan rapidly, with a pencil of caustic, sketches down the principal events of the month, burning perhaps the most fiercely of all into his tablets the now notorious incident about the member for Halifax. MACMILLAN.—The story of " The Hillyars and the Burtons" proceeds with undiminished interest, and troubles seem to be thio.kaning round most of the actors in it.__Geore Hillyar and Gerty arrive in London, and make their appearance at hie father's country seat, but although Gerty's firat introduc tion to the sturdy old baronet is a great suleess, the bloom has begun to fade off the poor silly little beauty's simple life, and her influence over her gloomy, passionate husband is already waning. Tho Burtons are becoming more and more mixed up with the Mayers, and the mysterious trouble hanging over Reuben grows darker and nearer. " Our Sleep and Dreams" is a pleasantly written essay on a very old subject of debate and discussion. The writer cites some instances in which the world of dreams has exer cised a beneficial influence in the world of realities. " Tor tini is said to have composed his Devii'e Sonata from the inspiration of a dream in which the devil appeared to him and challenged him to a trial of skill on his own fiddle. Coleridge declares that he composed his splendid poetical fragment of Kubla Khan when asleep. Condorcet relates that more than once having retired to bed, jaded with intricate calculations which he had left unfinished, he completed them in his dreams. Franklin states that he sometimes saw the bearing of political events more clearly during sleep than he had done when awake. Dr. Gregory mentions that thoughts sometimes occurred to him in dreams which were so good that he used them in his college lectures. Sir Benjamin Brodie tells us of a friend who had more than once invented an apparatus for an experiment he wished to make in a dream, and of another who had solved mathematical problems when asleep which had baffled him when awake." The usual " Letter from Competition Wallah" deals this month with a very difficult and momentous topic—Christianity in India. The writer faces the question boldly, and after confessing the unsatisfactory state of the religion of the Hindoos, he pro ceeds to inquire why it is that, " with all the advantages of civilisation and domination, we have hitherto succeeded in converting to our creed only one in 10,000 of the subject I people." The reasons he gives are so numerous and so formidable that the most sanguine missionary might well droop discouraged ; but there are good influences at work as well as bad, and we may trust that the acknowledged declension of the old Hindoo worship before the light of knowledge and civilisation may be only the forerunner of the substitution of a purer faith. " Two Months in Rome," and " A Gossip Over My Portfolio," are both worth read ing; but many readers will turn with more interest to the reprint of some correspondence between Coleridge and William Godwin, in which the poet gives full vent to his metaphysical speculations in addressing a friend of such congenial tastes and abilities. TEMPLE BAR.—" The Doctor's Wife" is con tinued at some length, and in this instalment mat ters progress most unfavourably as regards the future welfare and peace of the young couple. The story is most naturally told, and this constitutes its chief attraction, for the hero and heroine are alike provok ing in their opposite extremes—lsabel with her absurd notions of romance, and George with his very hum-drum ideas, Such characters do, however, constantly consort and attempt to fight the battle of life together. The result is one of those disastrous failures which furnish the stage with themes for tragedy, and bestow endless opportunities for the novelist to expatiate upon. "The Streets of the World" this time describes Berlin, Unter-den-linden. The sketch is not a very flattering one. " Rest and be Thank ful" are spirited verses. "Maid v. Mistress" is an article that is well worthy of perusal. It traces the origin of the fault which militates against the well-doing of so many servant maids to their faulty bringing up at home, where their hard working, half-starved mothers sacrifice every thing to turn out their daughters " smart." Much may be gathered from this sketch of the troubles that beset domes tic life in the shape of saucy and incompetent assistants. "Broken to Harness" is continued in the same animated manner as before.- " The Ball-season in Paris" is an - tertaining little sketch of the doings in that gay capita en l. The number of balls that take place, the numerous visitors who throng to the festivities, and the amount which all this quietly coats, are set down for those who seek such infor mation to con by rote, and they will doubtless be greatly edified by the astonishing calculations and astounding re velations that are made. LONDON SOCIETY. --The illustrations to this nick_ gszine still form a considerable part of its. att of rae• tins. They are num erous and effective, and often display both taste and talent. A new aeries papers commences in this number, and with promise of interest. It is called "The London Opera Directors," and proposes to give us anecdotic memoirs of the most re markable men who have been conne c t e d w i th operatic management, toge ther with recollections of the chief singers and composers who flourished during their reigns. This first part chronicles the management, fortunes, and misfire tunes of no less a personage than Handel, the results of whose operatio career are thus summed up :—" During his unfortunate struggle against Porpora and the world of fashion he had lost his health, he had lost all the money he had made during 20 years of labour, and he had to start an ew, at the age of 56, having nothing left bat his glorious reputation," "The Merchant Princes of England" are continued in due course, and we have the story of the famous Sir Richard Whittington. Lovers of the antique will be gratified to learn that the biographer is clearly of opinion that a cat was in some way connected with the Richard Bentley, New Burlirgton-atrect.

THE FORTHCOMING RE FORM CONFERENCE AT MANCHESTER.--A The Chairman said the object of the meeting was to enlar ge the working committee, and to meet a depu tation from t he Executive Reform Committee at Leeds. It was hi g hl y desirable that the Reform Committee shou ld be of a mixe d character, h partly working men, and partly middle class men, as the practical object of the forthcoming conference would be to adopt measures that would meet with the cordial support of both these classes. Experience had shown that the joint action of both parties was essential to the perma nent success of any useful reform movement. The local committee should, therefore, adopt those Steps that would secure the largest and fairest representation possible, at the Conference. 111 r, Ilickes, one of the Leeds deputation, said there bad been two important re form conferences, ono in Leeds and one in London—and at * the latter gathering it was decided that the next meeting should be held in Manchester, and the Executive committee of that conference were appointed to convene the Manches ter meeting at the earliest possible period. Owing to the prevailing distress it was deemed advisable to postpone the conference till the present spring. The executive commit tee relied on the support of the Lancashire reformers to render the Manchester demonstration worthy of the great question of Parliamentary reform. They had opened a THE SHAKSPERE COMMEMORATION.---A depute. tion from the Working Men's Committee in connec tion with this Commemoration waited upon the Right Hon. Mr. Cowper yesterday with a memorial praying the per mission of the Government for the working classes to as• semble in Hyde-park on the afternoon of Saturday, the 23d April, and thence to proceed in procession to the Green park to plant an oak on the proposed site of the Shakspere Monument in the latter park. Mr. Cowper, in reply, said he could hold out no hope to the deputation that the prayer .of the memorial would be granted. The parks were places for public recreation, and not for large assemblages or pro cessions of people, He saw no special reason why the rule with regard to the parks should be relaxed on the present occasion, deputation then retired. .2),,,y1 e ;FM , ' SPATE it risking Of Whittingfen'A feridt.c. 1 1‘44*2 ' 4.°:. ). - Coventry" 4 , 0 -". - • • mew i""t belle, whose triumpus wereVlkehellticif- Ay • - 's • "An Entertainment" gives a laughable'accoun prising, speculation which failed to meet wniflae cognition its merits deserved. " The Ordetit 4birlZ as'As:" is continued, and introduces us to fresh Nees and fresh scenes. Esther Fleming's allegiance to Olive.: "Carew is decidedly wavering. We have a long story founded on the immemorial tradition concerning the Ist of April, and a good many lively sketches of pen and pencil fill -up the re mainder of the number. GOOD WORDS.—Mrs. Wood's story of "' Oswald Cray " is growing more complex and more =clan °holy. An unfortunate suspicion rising from some chance words has come between Oswald and Sara Davenal, and the troubles seem springing up plgaiti-• fully. Lady Os wald's fortune is left to Dr. Davenal, a circumstance which excites a good deal of surprise and comment. A. K. FL B. gives us an essay, " Concerning Needless Fears," the moral of which seems to be in the words of Tupper, that "Half our froubles are WI our in• vention." Dr. Guthrie continues his "Out of Harnex," the Dean of Canterbury proceeds with his "Letters front Abroad," and Mr. Gosse gives us the fourth part of his "Year at the Shore , " so that there is plenty of good :.ad varied reading. Added to these Isaac Taylor contributes "Personal Recollections," the editoe continues his "Even ing, with Working People," a reporter gives a very vivid -.account of the " Labour and DiMeUltieS of Stenography," and Dr. Rogers, LLD:, disdusses our Coal Fields. Ir e must onsequently be a very captious or discontented mortal who cannot fiael:something to attract ead interest him in such a table of contents. DIE MUSICAL MONTHLY.—The number for April is, of course, well supplied with articles touching the approaching festival at Stratford.. upon-Avon. The presentation piece for the pianoforte is entitled "A Shaksperian Fantasia," • in which the well. - known airs sung ,by Ariel in "The Tempest" are intro duced. The introduction is full and telling, but the airs hay? been :rather ineffectively handled. There is a thinness about the adaptation, and a_ .great want of 6sh sneitlitiaucy In the va.riatif.

The magazine is just the sort of thing wanted by the public ; but some such pieces as those played by Madame Goddard, Madame Oury, &0,, must begiven to make it popular with the lovers of music. LE FOLLEL—This month's number of this ele• gnat little publication is unusually attractive. The plates are brilliant, and if the fashions here set forth are followed, the dresses of the ladies this season will be truly splendid. There is here the usual intelligence communicated with respect to the latest novelties, the most striking changes, &c., in cos tume; besides which, a variety of high amusing reading is met with in this periodical, and also a description of • the operas, theatres, Lee., so that for a fashionable reader nothing is left out of the repertoire of its contents that can possibly be missed. CASSELL'S P ÜBLICATION S.—The different monthly parts of the works now publishing by Messrs Cassell, Petter, and Galpin are here again before us, and bear unmistakable evidence of the energy and enter prise of the firm. "The Illustrated Shakepero" will, when completed, form a splendid volume, both from the variety and excellence of the illustrations and the supe riority of its paper and letterpress. " Pilgrims Progress" is another commendable production, and our. dear old friend "Robinson Crusoe" is still being submitted to the public in a manner hitherto nnat tempted. " The Illustrated History of England," "The Popular Educator," "The History of England," and "Popular Natural History" are all worthy of high commendation. THE BOY'S MONTHLY MAGAZINE contains a variety of light reading, which will be found both highly entertaining and instructive. , . THE BOY'S OWN MAGAZINE this month bri m full of facts, fiction, history, and adventure. THE ENGLISHWOMAN'S DOMESTIC MAGAZINE abounds with useful and entertaining articles. Lis one of the cheapest and best magazines published. THE QUARTERLY BRITISH POSTAL GUIDE has just been published by command of the Postmaster General, Naval and Military Intelligence THE NAVY. Arrangemeuts have been for some time in progress at Chatham . dockyard for the adoption of the new system of accounts connected with the building of new vessels, thei repairs of those requiring "conversion " or alteration, and the charge for labour in each department, the whole which have been arranged uwler the i/prOdiate superin 'tendenm of Mr. Stlinhfal, MP:, one of the lords, of tAer Admiralty. Under the direction of a competent *11.4 clerks . and assistants froin thd ;SlOi•-ekeeperjierieral'ade partment a tomplete stock-taking of the whole of the mate rid, of every kind, in Chatham Dockyard will be commenced this morning, and periodical returns afterwards forwarded. to the Admiralty. Under the auspices of Mr. Stansfold, and mainly, if not certainly, through his exertions, the dockyard accounts will from April 1 be placed on a basis which will enable them to be compared favourably with the accounts of the best private shipbuilding establishments in the country. In ftiture the percentage charges for the different descriptions of work will be eliminated, and all labour not employed on manufacturing operations will be charged, pro rata, on the ships. It is, however, in the im portant item of labour, which has hitherto defied all the attempts made to properly apportion the charges under that head, that the greatest alterations will be made at Chatham. This will be effected by what are termed labour charts, in which the fullest explanation will be periodically given of the nature, variety, and amount of labour employed on any given vessel, or other undertaking, its relative and actual cost. These labour charts will be laid before the House of Commons, which will thus have the opportunity of ascer taining the amount expended for labour, as attested by the accounts. The screw steam gunvessel Ranger, 6, Commander Gor don, at Plymouth, bound for the West Coast of Africa, got up steam on Wednesday, but continued in the Sound up to yesterday afternoon. The screw steamship Nile, 78, flag of Rear-Admiral Sit Alex. Milne, K,C.B„ is hourly expected at Plymouth.

The United States gunvessel Kearsage yesterday dis charged her powder-5 tons—at the powder-buoy off Wool wich Arsenal, in charge of the shipping agent, and pro- ceeded to the Victoria docks, to make good certain damages sustained during the late gale in the channel. She will be thoroughly overhauled, will be supplied with a new top mast and have her bottom cleaned. She is manned at all quarters with a most formidable armament of six powerful 11-inch guns, weighing 6 tons, to carry a 2001 b shot each, so as to maintain a steady fire from every part of the ship. The Kearsage is last from Dover, where she was an object of much attraction, and was visited by a large number of persons. Mr. Tomlin, one of the Admiralty clerks, who has been engaged during the past 17 years in the office of the Com modore Superintendent of the Dockyard at Woolwich, is ordered to enter on the duties of the Auditor's office this morning, in order to check the expenditure of the establish ment, and to carry out a more orderly return of acoounti for the inspection of the Admiralty Board.

Skipworth, midshipman, to the Black Prima —and Henry Smiles, nominated to a naval cadetship, O" • THE ARMY. The War-office circular, signed by Major - General Sir E Lugard, K.C.8., Under -Secretary of State, has b een re ceived at Chatham, in which it is announced that numerous instances having occurred of the medals of non-effective non• commissioned officers and men, forwarded with the vouchers to pay-lists and casualty returns having miscarried in transmission through the post, the Secretary of State for War calls the attention of commanding officers and pay masters to the orders contained in the " Queen's Regulations for the Army," and directs that letters containing medals, when forwarded through the post, are to be registered, and the expense charged in the public accounts. The Secretary of State desires that this rule be strictly adhered to in future whenever the means of doing so exist, and that in every case a letter may accompany the medal or medals, stating the name of the soldier to whom it belonged and the data and. cause of his becoming non-effective. A duplicate of such letter should be separately forwarded. Yesterday the whole of the troops at Chatham garrison were released from all drills and parades for the day, by' order of Major-General Eyre, in consequence of the very excellent manner in which they acquitted themselves at the review of the Duke of Cambridge on the previous day. The manufacturing branches of the Royal Arsenal at Woolwich yesterday closed the departments for the week s in order to afford an occasion of taking stock on entering the new financial year, which commenced this morning They will resume operations on Monday next.
