This Company has been formed for the purposs of pur elietaing and extending the valuab e and old -established Ship-building and it Business of Messrs smith and Rodger, Glasgow, a firm well known on the Cly , e, dur ing the 1 st quarter of a century, as successful build rs. There is probably no b - anch of induatry which has been more Profitable in Scotland during the last few .ears than it n ship-building, and wh n the great advantages possessed by Glasgow and its vicinity are considered, the rapid and in eteasin expansion of the trade in that neighbourhood is not surprising. The Clyde possessea great advantages, compared with the Thai• es, in the lesser cost of coals, iron, and wages ; while the skill and industry of the scotch artisans are universal acknowledged The Directors have made a provisional Contract, by which they have secured, under a very fa •oarable arrangement, the business of Messrs. Smith and Rodger, including the 'whole of their building yard, engineering premises, plant, tools, goodwill, and connexion, as awl_ .s the benefits arising from valuable existing contracts, lobe paid for partly in cash and partly in shares of the Company. 'rhe partners of the firm have agreed to join the Board of et•on, t' ins giving the Company the advantage of their valuable influe. ce and experience, and as the entire staff of Messrs. Smith and dodger will also be tran•ferred, under the arrangement referred to, the Company will be enable i to enter immediately up n a business in full and profitable oper tion. Although several Shipbuildin?: Companies have been established in the vicinity of London and Liverpool, whose operations h +ve b en att-nd d w,th great success, the bast hese on the banks of the Clyde has hitherto been exolusively tarried on by private enterprise, and the :arF. , ,e fortunes accumulated by Scotch shipbuilders are a guarantee of What might be expec ed from the work ng of a Com pany nossessing ample means and influential body of Di rectol The immense impetus given to iron shipbuild ng by the nmerous steamship t ompanies recently establ-heri under the Limited Liability Act, which will require vessels of ,treat alze and pow •r for trading to all parts of the world, will un doubtedly prove a constant source of fiLhly remunerative r ll ,l loyment to th+s Company ; and it is evident that the day .8 la st approaching when iron steamships will be used ex elusivel , not only for th conveyance of e mi g rants and pas sengers, but also of teas, silks, and other dcscr ptions of the finest and most costly articles of comtnerX to and from every port on o the globe. "wing' to the re , lution which iron-plated ships have atiaected in naval warfa , -e, it has be.some nece.:sary to rec„frn struct the entire navies of Europe. and from the admirable Manner in which the iron-plat ,, d vessels of war recently added to the Briiish navy have been constru ted by private a hipbuilde and by th Thames bon Ship-building Corn 13Et'oes there is not the sliuhtest doubt tha t the bu ildin g of Illy fleets of Great Britain end the other naval Powers will fut re be large entrusted to such companies. A great element in the success of this Company is the f et that there will be a London Board, ready t icontrac tor the P arlous a n d impor ant contracts of the and Foreign overnments, an . the large Shipping Companies, who orders are naturally first placed in hand in Lo, don, and Which are much more likely to be secured by the inflnence of metropolitan directory th nby the application o a provin ne Articles and 3remorandtim of Association may be in spected at the S , olieltors of the Company, Messrs.

He is far from bestowing unqualified approval or admiration on all, and his article is, indeed, one of the most judicious which has appeared since Thackeray's death. Nevertheless he accords, as all must do, high:praise to him as onewho will always retain a foremost place among our literary chieftains. Mr. Gardiner's "History of James I." i 6 discussed, and the htatorian appears to have formed no favourable opinion of our Scottish king. "His body, his mind, and his 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 of a Parisian appartement, and tells us little secrets about the domestic arrangements which invest a gay French establishment with an air of do mestic comfort. " Our Private Play" is the narrative of the wonders worked by some private theatricals. The special virtues and qualifications of our matter-of-fact nineteenth century are 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 article discusses a question which comes very forcibly home to most of us—" How may a Peace Income Tax be Supplanted cale A Rix-roomed Parsonage £74 3 0 An Eight-roomed ditto A Ten-ro .men ditto A Twelve-roomed ditto29l 11 0 Together : 47 ith a ?rile List of purified Kelding, and a mass of valuable if'formationto all requiring househ )1d furniture, carpel,.. or beclinig.

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. Scoffern con tributes a paper on " Vempyres," reminding us of come of the horrible weird superstitions that used to be current on the subject. We have also an interesting account of the " Silver Mines of Freiberg in Saxony," and the first part of a new version of the old romance, whoa hero and heroine are the dreaming poet and the beautiful Scottish Queen, a Darr ative in this instance penned more in accordance with the views of Miss Strickland than of Mr Froude. " 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 dud plenty of readers and admirers. " Lascelles Wraxall" initiates us into the mysteries that lie hid-ten beneath the eork of a champagne butte, and Lieut. Warneford draws a vivid picture of the horrors of being " Abandoned at S .a." Ihere 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 staff 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. On the eve of its first ap pearance, however, the prim els made an inopcortune de mand for candles, the grocer retused an extension of credit, the new-coiner had 3id. in his pocket, and the proprietor of the Puddleton Gazet'e not a sou, From this dilemma they were happily rescued by the adventof their first subscriber, who paid his quarter's subscription in advance. Such good luck does not, we fear, olten fall to the lot of mortals. LE CORRESPONDANT, Mars 1864. Cn. Douniol. —A more than ordinarily attractive number of L e Correspondant 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 Fallonx (de l'Acad. Fr.) entitled " Introduction aux lettres de P. Lacor deire," 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 Shakspeee"—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 hart the most remarkable of these being the one by the Abbe 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 und:minished interest, and troubles seem to be thickening round most of the actors in it. George litllyar and Gerty arrive in London, and make their appearance at his father's country seat, but although Gerty's first introduc tion to the sturdy old baronet is a great suecess, 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. The Burtons are becoming more and more mixed up with the Hillyars, 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 Devil's 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 awned - nee 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 got .d 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 brif3l4l 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 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 mg; 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 Parke' is an en tertaining little sketch of the doings in that gay capital. The number of balls that take place, the numerous visitors who throng to the festivities, and the amount which all this quietly costs, 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 Wounding re velations that are made. L ONDON SOCIETY. — T he i llustration s to this ma. giaine still ;orm a considerable part of its Rai ns , tions. They are numerous and effective, and often display both taste and talent. A new series of pipers 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 connected with operatic management, together with recollections of the chief singers and composers who flourished during their reigns. This first part chronicles the management. fortunes, and misfor tunes of no less a personage than Handel, the results of whose operatic career are thus summed up :—" During his unfortunate struggle against Porpora and the world of fashion he had lost hie health, he had lost all the money he had made during 20 years of labour, and he had to start anew, at the age of 56, having nothing left but 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 £157 10 0 • Subscribers have the ortion of paying the 'nsta . mrnts in advan e, and will be allowed a discount of 6 per cent. per an num o, such pre-payments.

We have a long story founded on the immemorial tradition c^ncerning 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'e story of " Oswald Cray" is growing more complez anti mope melan choly. An unfortunate suspicion rising from some chance wards has come between Oswald and Sara Davenal, and the troubles seem springing up plenti fully. Lady Oswald's fortune is left to Dr. Davenal, a circumstance which exci'es a good deal of surprise and comment. A. H. H. B. gives us an essay, " Concerning Needless Fears," the moral of which seems to be in the words of Tupper, that "Half our troubles are half our in • ventiou." Dr. Guthrie continues his " Out of Harness," the Dean of Canterbury proceeds with his " Letters from Abroad," and Mr. Gosso gives us the fourth part of his " Year at the Shore," so that there is plenty of good and varied reading. Added to these Isaac Taylor contributes " Personal Recollections," the editor continues his "Even ing with Working People," a reporter gives a very vivid account of the "Labour and Difficulties of Stenography," and Dr. Rogers, LL.D., discusses our Coal Fields. He must consequently 19e a very captious or discontented mortal who cannot find something to attract and interest him in such a table of contents. THE 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 Shaksp-tian 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 have been rather ineffectively handled. There is a thinness about the adaptation, and a great want of dash and brilliancy in the variations. Although it will not supersede the pieces on the same airs already published, it will find favour in the eyes of thostt who are looking out for an easy piece suitable for the ar preaching festivity. The magazine is just the sort of thing wanted by the puolic ; but some such pieces as those played by Madame Goddard, Madame Oury, &0., must be given to make it popular with the lovers of music. LE FOLLET.—This mouth's number of this ele• gant 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 ldtest 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 Dperas, theatres, &c., so that for a fashionable reader nothing is left out of the repertoire of its contents that can possibly be missed. CASSELL'S PUBLICATION 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 Shakspere" will, when completed, form a splendid volume, both from the ♦ariety and excellence of the illustrations and the supe riority of its paper and letterpress. " Pilgrims Progress" is another co Lmendable proiuction, and our dear old friend "Rubinson Crusoe" is still being submitted to the public in a manner hitherto uuattenipted. " 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 is brim full of facts, fiction, history, and adventure. THE ENGLISHWOMAN'S DOMESTIC MAGAZINE abounds with useful and entertaining articles. It is 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. Arrangements 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, the repairs of those requiring " conversion " or alteration, and the charge for labour in each department, the whole of which have been arranged under the immediate superin tendence of Mr. Stansfeld, M.P., one of the Lords of the Admiralty. Under the direction of a competent staff of clerks and assistants from the Storekeeper-General's de partment a complete stock-taking of the whole of themate. riel, of every kind, in Chatham Dockyard will be commenced this morning, and periodical returns afterwards forwarded to the Admiralty. Under the auspices of Mr. Stansfeld, 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 future 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, 5, 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 Sir Alex. Milne, K.C.8., is hourly expected at Plymouth. The screw steamship Royal George, 78, went outside Plymouth breakwater yesterday to try her engines and machinery, under the inspection of Capt. Edmonstone, of the Steam Reserve. To-day she will be commissioned and manned by the officers and crew of the Ajax. The United States gunvessel Kearsage yesterday dis charged her powder-5 tons—st 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 accounts for the inspection of the Admiralty Board. The following appointments have been made at the Ad miralty Board :—W. H. Monckton, midshipman, to the Aurora—W. Skipworth, midshipman, to the Black Prince —and Henry Smiles, nominated to a naval cadetship, ~~-- THE REVENUE FOR THE YEAR AND QUARTER ENDING MARCH 31, 1864.

THE FORTHCOMING REFORM CCNFERENCE AT ng of th e R e f orm C o nfer- M AN CHEST ER.—A. meeti ng ence Committee was held at Newell ' s Buildings , on Tues day evening, Mr. R obert Cooper presidi ng. The Chairman said the object of th e meeting was to enlar g e the workin g committee, and to me et a deputation fr om the Ex ecutive Reform C omm ittee at Leeds, It was highly desirable that the Reform Committee should be of a mixed character, partly working men, and partly . middle class men, as the practical object of the forthcoming conference would be to adopt measures that would mee t with the cordial support of both these classes. Exper ience 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 l ar g est and fairest re p resentation possible, d ib l e deputation, a tin , theo said therenferen had been e.Mr' two ickeB'one of the Leeds important re form conferences, one in Leeds and one in Lond on —and at the latter gathering it was decided that the next meeting should be held in M a nchester, and te executive committe of that conference wer e appointed to o onvene the Manches e ter meeting at the earliest possible period. Owing to the prevailing distress it WAS deem ed advisable to postpone the conference till the prese nt 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. 'IHE 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 t 3 plant an oak on the proposed site ef 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.

The W Maj or-General Sir E rd K ar e - offiEce, e u circular , ndes ere signed tar by Luga , . • of State, has been re • Under -Secretary solved at Chatham , in w hich 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 i n transmission through th e 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 desi res t h at this rule be strictly adhered to in future whenever the me ans o f doing so exist, and that in every case a lett er 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.

BLACKWOOD.—" Cornelius O'Dowd upon Men and Women, and Other Things in General," is now in its third part, and presents some very entertain ing sketches. There is plenty of diversity in these details, and the leader turns from the freaks of a Garibaldian 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 cur 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 reads like the denouement of some skilful plot. There is much truth in the explanation given cf 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 ttheir exploits. "Mr. Knight's Re- miniscences" is the subject of an article that way prove o 1 interest to some. It refers to the manners and customs of bygone days, and there is sufficient originality introduced . : ,nto the criticism to save it from becoming a dull or tame reflection of 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 new 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, he is captious and uncertain, and shows how much he needs the refining influence of the world to tone down 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 evens and most notable incidents attending the momentous, but discreditable epoch in our annals that records the doings of our Govern ment wi•h 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 resume of events here chronicled must disenchnnt 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 case 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 so 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 wanner and a pathos of description that impart a reality and interest to the narra tive. " A Letter from Schleswig-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 " Unfortu. 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 perpetration 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 very 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 importance ; the good old lady dies suddenly, the will is lost, and the hapless little Lizitte is an outcast and a wanderer on the face of the world. Various other complications arise, which promise to make 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 an article that is interesting, It refers to the memoirs of J an e Cameron (reviewed several months since in The Sun), and this suggestive subject is suitably treated i n the ex position 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 of truth is impressed upon all that is here recorded, and we 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 Wauling" is a strange sketch that will 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. FRABER.—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 uoYslist whom Eugliab, literature has lately lot. ~~~~ -~ 1
