" Oswald Gray" is likely to increase rather than diminish Mrs Wood's reputation, and the part before us exhibits very vividly the wretchedness of disappointed speculators. Dr Wynter, who is so well known for his power of blending information and entertainment, has an article on " The Water Supply of London," which is very well worth read ing. A senior Wrangler discourses to us on the " Give and Take of Life," the meaning of which abstruse title we leave our readers to discover. "An Invalid's Winter in Algeria" takes a peep at the French colony, and a paper by Isaac Taylor suggests some pleasant ways of turning the long evenings t) profit. Thoughts by the Lake of Ginne saret are sirni?le and consoling to the way,vorn toilers of this work-a•da3 world. " Worth a Leg" isan interesting sketch of real life, drawn from the records of an hospital experience. Mr Gesso's " Year at the Shore" moves steadily on, and there are other papers of various cha racier. colonial forces, but also to the senior naval and mi litary officers of the forces of Great Britain ; and that there can be no doubt that you will be held responsible by the Home Government for any acts of which yua may order the cucution by their 'orces, or for the ultimate attainment of which you direct the employment of their forces, if such ects appear to the Government and people of England to be unnecessarily severe or unjust, or even if such acts would have a tendency to proton g, Without saficient obj,:ct,a civil war. on ibis subject it v‘ill be soffi• cient for me now to rewind you that in my des patch of the 26th of May I.had stated to you plainly that an army of 10,000 Eoglish troops has been placed at your disposal for objects of great.

No. 231, The connection between words and meanings is the sub ject of an interesting essay founded on a work recently published by Mr Isaac Taylor, entitled " Words and Places." In it he gives some curious instances of the origin and derivation of names, justly observing that the fundamental truth to be adhered to in all such researches is that there is no such thing as a name consisting of mere arbitrary sounds. His critic, in commenting on this passage, remarks that " names of per sons and names of places were once alike significant, or in tended to be so—hence the great value of them as memorials of language and of historical facts. They etten, too, pre serve old forms of speech ; though passing frequently from hand to hand as symbols without a special sense, they are apt to be worn and altered by constant friction." The writer remarks on the poverty of invention shown in the nomenclature of a new country, as evidenced in America, where the confusion produced is great by not only naming places after spots in the Old World, but by the frequent repetition of the same name in the States themselves. Twenty-five Troys, twenty-two Dovers, thirteen Romes, and the same number of Rochesters, one hundred and thirty-eight Washingtons, and one hundred and thirty Jacksona must be rather perplexing to the most accomplished topographers. Perhaps the great civil war will supply them with a crop of heroes to substitute for the exhausted stock of old ones. Even the names of stuffs have usually some foundation which it is interesting to the philologist to trace. Calico and damask are easily referred to Calicut and Damascus, while chintz owes its origin to the Hindus tan word for colour, and cambric, diaper, and gauzo are traceable respectively to Cambray, d'Ypres, and Gaza. A memoir of Ludwig Uhland records the life of an honest and high-minded man. The article is enriched with numerous quotations from his writings, many of which, however, are, thanks to the translators, not unfamiliar to English readers. The career of the celebrated preacher of Notre Dame is the subject of another biographical paper, which bears tee• timony to the eloquence, the fervour, the sincerity of the gifted Frenchman. A carefully ssritten essay on our public schools examines very fully the report of the Com missioners, and enters into the subject of the requirements of schools and scholars in a manner that shows good sense and familiar knowledge of the subject. Among the other papers are articles on " Christian Art" and on " The Cir cassia,/ Exodus." • I considered that, while active operations are being carried on under the conduct of her Majesty's officers, and in the main by her Majesty's military and naval forces, it was for the Government per• sonally, as representative of the Imperial Govern ment, to decide upon the fate of persons who were taken prisoners in the course of these military operations.' The question of responsible Govern. ment in a colony where' in ordinary times the civil and internal policy is directed by the Ministers, but where in cases of emergency the safety of the inhabitants is secured, and peace and order are ref stored, by the aid of the naval and military forces of her Majesty, is not a question to be discusse&in argument at a moment like the present. Whatever may be the precise limits of the authority vested in the Ministers, and of the power and responsibility of the Governor as the servant of the Crown of Eng land, an army like that now operating in New Zeas land has not been sent to the colony, and will not be maintained there, subject to any other authority than of the Crown, and you appear to me rightly to interpret your position in the observationswhich you have addressed to your Ministers in the minute to which I have referred. Your duty as repre sentative of your Sovereign is to take such measures as may, in your judgment, be best calculated to put down rebellion, to restore peace and order, and to stop the expenditure of blood and treasure, When you shall have accomplished these objects, and the army, maintained at so great a sacrifice, shall have been reduced to the moderate numbers suited for the times of regular and peaceful administration THE BRITISH ARMY AND NAVY REVIEW.—This is an interesting number of a well written maga zine. It opens with the first number of a series of papers on Celebrated Trials connected with the army and navy, in which is given an excellent account, of Captain Kidd, a famous pirate in the West In dies some century and a half ago. "Military Ballads," an inspiriting theme, form the subject of the next paper, which is well worth reading. The survey of Lee's second cam paign in defence of Richmond does honour to the military discernment of the soldier and to the ability of his historian. In contrast to the record of Lee's achievements we have further on a memoir of Gen. Ulysses Grant, which gives a brief account of his chequered and eventful career. It is unfortunate that, like most of the American generals, ho is given to excess in drink, but his promotion has nevertheless been rapid. Among the remaining papers are articles on "Our Married Soldiers," and " The New French Cruisers." THF. ECLECTIC.—A lengthened criticism on the new work of Tennyson aryl Browning will attract most readers. It is a careful criticism, enriched by copious extracts from both authors. The labour difficulty in the tropics is a question of much moment, fully considered, Among he other papers of general interest are articles on Australian expleratious„and Max Muller's " Mountain of Languages." THE SIXPENNY MAGAZINE.—The singular story of " Singed Moths" is brought to a e•mclusion, whieh is tolerably satisfactory, seeing that most of the m dim provide themselves with newer and better wings. The other stories, among which Barry O'Byrne occupies a prominent place, are continued as usual. We have also an episode of the days of Cromwell, the description of a Russian Fete, en account of gigantic races, and other miscellaneous articles. The Editor certainly wakes a libe ral provision for his readers. THE ENGLISHWOMAN'S DOMESTIC MAGAZINE. — This is a very attractive little serial, with elegantly coloured illustrations of fashion and needlework. The remarkable story of " Mildred's Wedding," whichun doubtedly belongs to the sensational school, is continued, and " A History of Perfumery and the Toilet" will attract its fair readers. Those who ridicule the costumes of the present (lay should look at the picture of what extrava gances Fashion can go to as shown in the headdresses of the last century. THE BOYS' OWN MAGAZINE, THE BOYS' MONTHLY MAGAZINE. Beet on.—EVERY BOY'S MAGAZINE. Routledge. —Between these three serials, devoted expressly to their entertainment, the boys of our day have no reason to complain. They are all of fair average merit, and well calculated to amuse their readers at the same time that they extend their knowledge n various directions. her Majesty's Government will not be desirous to, withdraw from the Colonial Ministers any part of that authority in the conduct of native affairs which has been already vested in their hands. Of the policy of realising Ti•ori-ori, or some, and, if so, how many, of the other prisoners—of the credence to be attached to the statements of native messen gers respecting Rewi, and of the effect which the detention of the prisoners as hostages may have had in preventing hostile operations, or murderous out. rages, on the part of any of their friends—it is not possible to judge without that knowledge of the cir. cumstances which only presence on the spot can give—and. even if I possessed that knowledge, I should feel that it was extremely hazardous to give you positive instructions from home, to be carried into effect after an interval of five months from the time at which yon had reported the circumstances to me, and when, therefore, the most material changes in those circumstances must have inevit ably occurred. What Ido feel it to be my duty to say to you plainly is that the aid of the mother country in men and in money is given to the colony, on the understanding that the military measures which have unhappily become necessary shall be directed by you, in concert with the distinguished General i❑ command. I shall be perfectly ready to suppert you in any measures which, not breaking positive law of the colony, and after consulting with the General, you may have thought it neces sary to take on this subject. I earnestly trust, how ever, that that sense of consideration due to your position to which your memorandum of the 29th of April you appeal, will have been manifested by your advisers, and that, more especially when they shall have received the full and deliberate statement of the views of her Majesty's Government con veyed to you in my despatch of the April 26 last, they will cordially co-operate with you in the trea sures which you may feel called upon to adopt in pursuance of your instructions. lam confirmed in this hope by the assurances which Mr R. Wood, on the part of his colleagues and himself, has given me, as you will have seen in his letter to Sir F. Rogers, and by the tone which Mr R. Wood has uniformly maintained in his frequent communications with me during his stay in England. I cannot for one mo ment believe that your Ministers will be actuated by any other feeling than a patriotic desire to aid you to the utmost in their power ; and I trust that, even when their opinions may differ from your own, a paramount sense of public duty will induce them to forget these differences, and cordially to support your efforts and those of Gen. Cameron to promote the cause which, equally with yourself, they have at heart." -- - THE HISTORY OF ENGLAND. By Lord Macaulay. P e ople's Edition. Part XII. Longman.—There is nothing to be said of this except that it is the continuation of the popular issue of this world-famous work, and that it is printed with the care and excellenee that usually distinguish the publications of Messrs. Long man. THE WORKING MEN'S CLUB AND INSTITUTE MAGAZINE. No. 1. Jarrold and Sons, Paternos ter-row.—The need of an official organ for these increasing societies has, it seems, been long felt, and the magazine before us attempts to supply the deficiency. It contains a good deal of interesting matter relating to such institutions, and gives all the intelligence of the month con cerning them. THE LONDON CITY MISSION MAGAZINE.—The present number is exc,usively occupied with the narrative of the missionary who attends our police courts in the hope of doing some good. There are many painful stories to be learned there, and the account of the cases which he watched may suggest something to the social re , former. _ The Present Commercial Crisis, CASSELL'S PrilizlcAzioNs.—The Illustrated Goldsmith, History of England, Bunyan, Popular Education, and Natural History, this month are quite up to their predc. cessors, both in variety and beauty of illust ration. ENOIIIRE WITHIN is a very useful little serial, and one abounding with information. THE LIFEBOAT MAGAZINE, published by the National Lifeboat Institution, this month presents its readers with a Wreck Chart of the British Isles, some very excellent literary articles, contributed by Admiral Fitzroy and other well known writers.

Napier have we understand, vigor ously opposed the proposal for military retrenchments. They point to Nepaul, Hyderabad, the Rojpootana States, and Affghanistan as the tkurces of future danger to India. But Sir John, we learn, in three able minutes, has hurried into pieces the specious arguments of the military members. He has demonstrated that their fears are quite chimerical, and that the arrangements proposed by him under the guidance of a military chief who keeps his eyes open and knows his duty will render India perfectly safe. Sir C. Trevelyan ,and other members of Council have zealously supported the Governor-General. All the minutes and papers on the subject have been transmitted to the Secre tary of Stale, who we have no doubt will fully appreciate the force of Sie John's reasoning.—Llindoo Patliot of Aug. 22.

THE MAGAZINES BLACKWOOD.—" Cornelius O'Dowd upon Me❑ and Things," as usual brings before us the chief objects of note which engage public attention for the moment. Conspicuous among these is the " Security of the RAH ;" but in the advices here met with the colloquial writer is not so smart as usual. He totally •repudiates the proposal of adopting means for the passengers to summon the guard as un tenable—the reasons against this sensible plan being that stupidly nervous persons will be perpetually calling for everything. This is most unlikely, tor it is a poor joke to encounter an ill-tempered official, and the repetition of useless signals will not improve the temper of any one. Surely human life and the comfort and convenience of tra vellers ought to be ranked higher than the red-tapist no tions of persons who are prejudiced against all change. " Take care of the Pence and the Pounds will, etc.", is turned to very good account in descanting upon the rigour with which examinations are required from subordinates, while the heads of departments may revel in ignorance and incapacity to any extent. " Centenaries and Commemora tions" is another admirable sketch, and the pungent satire of the humorous limner is of course heightened by the re colleCtion of the egregious failures of this year's attempts to tack little names to a great one. The Florentines are about to celebrate a commemoration of Dante. But it is said— granted their taste and appreciation—" what can they say for Dante that his works have not said immeasurably better ? how proclaim the fame that already fills the earth ? Surely the lovers of these rites and observances mal well pause and ask themselves these plain questions befoie tl“y parade the littleness of the present in the face of the greatness of the past, and as O'Dowd states, seek to add to the fury of the gale with their bellows." Max Muller's second series is discussed here in a suitable style. The lectures on the " Science of Language" are most deserving of attention, and, despite here and there some exaggera tion, there is much to inform and interest in their learned and comprehensive contents. It is truly said here that the study of the science of language, as its own great and legi timate interest. This volume, that abounds in " valuable remarks and curious etymologies," 'A ill be of great service to the ignorant, and a treasure trove to the intellectual and cultivated reader. " The Life of Jesus," is a paper on the celebrated work of M. Henan. It is treated in the only manner in hich such a book could be handled with grace, deliberation, and decided censure, It meets the philosopher on his own ground, and contemplates his paradise of the future to prove its instability and unsoundness. Had science done her best, sanitary and otherwise, and reciprocal support been realised in its highest ideal, the most intimate and profound of human miseries would still remain to be somehow provided for. This is the surest test of a doctrine and mode of belief—how will it work he adversity and stand by when all else fails ? " Tony Butler" is continued, the missing despatch has quite now pleased the hero, who rushes into the wildest extremes. Some of the sketches of Italian intrigues are very aptly delineated. "In the Garden" is a painful sketch of the waning glories of this season, that is very appropriate, and reproduces the vanished forms of loveliness and splendour as they stood in their " august perfection," and looked in the " freshness of June." The Public Schools Report is devoted to the consideration of the London Schools. It will be foue.d to be very interesting, and soma readers will meet with details of which they are ignorant in the diversi fied intelligence thus imparted in an agreeable fashion. We are led to much the same opinion that is expressed by the writer of this article in his conclud ing remarks, that "the Londoners have sufficient good schools, and it may bo doubted if they appreciate them sufficiently." The ignorance complained of may be shortly rectified by all who peruse this concise summary of their doings, their forms, customs, and principles. " Memoirs of Richard Whately " refer to a work recently published, of which no very favourable opinion is here entertained, and certainly with some fair share of reason to justify the dis paraging remarks. The career of Whately himself fur nishes an opportiinity for comments of a more enteetaining style. It is hero succinctly stated that he " was no cote mon man, his intellect was large, his understanding untir ing, his prejudices strong, his inconsistencies very striking, the greatest joker and punster of his day, next to Sydney Smith, his natural disposition was tinged with melancholy." Such accounts of a man's character prove indisputably that he could not live without being of some note in his genera tion, nor pass away without leaving some traces behind him of his words and his w iys. " Oar Trade" is au el ,borate paper that touches upon many important points, and winds up in reference to the same subject, ably treated in the last number of this periodical, the faulty nature of the Bank Act, and the great losses and inconvenience that ensue therefrom. It is truly stated that its fatal operation is the "fundamental and originating cause of our recurrent crises." Those who are sceptical on this point will do well to study the arguments here put forth, and they will find the misguided course now in vogue displayed in its true colours and properly deuour cod as it ought to be. In the pages of this magazine it is appropriate to meet with a tri• bate to the memory of Capt. Spike. The few words that are spoken are to the point, and as eloquent and striking as the occasion demanded. The details here briefly given of his inner life are most interesting, and are welcome as showing how the gainer of so much renown enjoyed a social popu larity that now more than fame endears his memory and sanctifies the regrets of his mourning friends. The last pas sage in this sketch is impressive in its simplicity. "It is fortunate for the world that the triumph preceded the catastrophe ; it is the remaining consolation of his friends that no man of the age is safer for immortality, He who achieved what mankind had been struggling after for 3,000 years, is sure to be remembered as long the earth exists and is inhabited." FRASER.—Fraser opens with an article on what may now be regarded as an accepted political fact—" The Decline and Fall of Whiggery." The writer traces the origin of this decline as far back as the first Reform Parliament in the inability or unwillingness of those in office to deal with Church questions. He finds proof of the decay of the once great party in the total absence of the younger generation of Politicians from its ranks, and asks where are the Whigs in the Commons under forty. So he decides , w ithout an y pre ference whatever for th e T or y party. "That Whiggery n ot dead is near to death, moribund, as the L atins s a y , incapable of fresh service or fresh efforts, destine d p erha ps to linger, but not to live. In this verdict most persons will be ready to coincide without any fervent regret, for the latter days of the party have certainly not been productive of credit to itself or of profit to the nation. "From Auckland to Awamutu" is a pleasant paper, telling the writer's ex periences in a short trip in New Zealand. The field is as yet new to tourists and travellers, and consequently there is some novelty in the recital. "Auckland", says the author, "is, as the reader knows, the capital of New Zealand, and Awamutu is the head-quarters of the army employed to subdue the natives who k n ight of ch 7 al 7 Sir W ,, RillaiaemGaiff:praicipt,:rirs: are now in arms against us.

By all means let prompt and severe punishment overtake the fraudulent i debtor, but to punish misfortune san unprofitable cruelty. Again, it is stated that the present mode of procedure does not prevent extravagance and improvidence in any degree as it professes to do; but, on the contrary, it enables per sons "to obtain credit when otherwise they would be obliged to pay ready money, and thereby encourages habits of comparative recklessness and extravagance, to which they would otherwise be strangers." The more this sub ject is studied the better for the welfare of the community, and the prevalent acceptance of the axiom that poverty is a crime, is not the notion calculated to make a State pros perous, or its citizens good or great, " The Streets of the World" have for subject, the Zeil, Frankfort-on-the- Maine. As usual, it is well worthy of perusal. "The Sketch of O'Connell, as an Orator," is interesting, and brings before the reader a picture of a remarkable man. Some of the details of his style will impress those who never had an opportunity of judging for themselves. It is said that "he was master of all the avenues to tho human heart, and I never knew him to be unequal to the occasion re quiring his abilities; he was always self-sustaining, self reliant, and commanding. I have not any reason, per sonally, to like or dislike him ; still I cannot help admiring the great power which he possessed, the mighty lever of eloquence, experience, and energy, by means of which he moved his followers." COEBURN'S NEW MONTIILY:—Francis Jacox, who has become a regular contributor to this magas zine, gives us ay.: first part of " A Vocal Exercise," which signifies an examination into the significance of novices, and of the sentiments expressed there abouts by ancient and modern sages. An article on the "Life and Writings of Alexander Weill," is some what alarming, both from its length and from the nature of its subject. "Constitutional Prusaia" is another weighty essay, but Prussia is just now so much the centre of obser vation:that it is likely to find more readers, while a little honest denunciation of her conduct is not unwelcome to the majority, "The America of an American" is the title of a paper founded on Dr Nichol's Forty Years of Ameri can Life, and it takes an interesting survey of his volumes. Alexander Andrews contributes a paper on "Cotton Pos sibilities," which ranges over various localities, ending with the Polynesian Islands. Archbishop Whately's brilliant career forms the subject of another essay, and the second part of the article on " Andrew Hofer" brings the record of that great man to a close. Mrs Bushby's story is continued, as are also " The Quest" and the wild and romantic tale of " Strathmore." CORNHILL.—" Wives and Daughters," is con t. nued at some lengtb, and the story becomes more interesting in this portion. A sad fate seems preparing for poor little Molly, in the approaching marriage of her father with Clare. This individual has been very aptly sketched to us before, and with her cunning, her selfishness, and her want of truth, she bids fair to be anything but an attractive addition to a house hold. The details of the visit of Molly to the Squire's are very naturally told, and the insight into domestic affairs in that locality is entertaining. " Middle Class Education in England" is a most instructive paper, and affords some use ful information touching an important subject, which just now is prominently put forward in various forms of dis cussion. The remarks at the close concerning the duty that devolves upon the community to exert themselves, are very true. It is said that, in this country, it is not deemed suitable for the Government to undertake the management of such things, but that it will not do for the people to be come supine. "We must keep before us the sound English faith that the English nation will deteriorates in its best qualities in proportion as it learns to depend on the State, for whatever can be really and truly as well done otherwise, but not less anxiously must we remember that in the pre sent all-important case, an only way of repudiating that dependence and deterioration is by ach'eving a capital middle class education by our own heads and hands." "Flower Fanning" is a sketch that contains the charming novelty, at all events in its appearance, and it will be found most entertaining in its animated descriptions, One half of the world does not know how the other lives is well known, and also it may be said that few are aware of the plans and principles upon which many work. Even upon the businesss of life it is astonishing to reflect how much labour is expended, and those who think there is a royal road to perfumery, and such like proceedings, wilt find out their mistake. It is refreshing to contemplate the picture here given of the flowers in their luxuriance and loveliness, not for ornament, but as it is called, a " staple'' do they grow. We are driven . first in a four-acre field of roses. Oh, Cockneys I oh, my brothers, imagine what a sight, not half-a-dozen rushes straggling round a mangy grassplot ; not a row- of bushes hedging in a gravel path; but millions of beds and blossoms burning over four acres.'' Such an account may well arrest attention, and the mode in which the "pomade" is made is interesting to notice, We have certainly made some progress in our denomina tions of toilet appliances since last autumn, when we find from the entries of fashionable ladies that they mentioned the items of their expenditure in this department as " Orange butter, 65." " Lillie," who was so much pat ronised by the wits of his day, mentions in his receipt bock trial "the best orange flower 'butter' and jasmine butter' came from Florente." "Madame de Montferrato" is a quaint sketch that brings a reminiscence of past days before us. It is told in a natural manner, and has a dash of origi nality about it that attracts and interests. Doubtless, it those who passed together some of the bright hours of their sunny youth were to part until time had done his sure but stealthy work upon their faces and forms, they would be as mueh startled as the little old Italian lady here described. A Visit to a Convent Lunatic Asylum" will attract the notice of many readers, and its details are certainly well told. It is, indeed, a curious thing for study, the pheno mena of the most distressing ailment to which flesh is heir, and apart from morbid curiosity it seems wise to be in formed of some of its peculiarities. " A Tuscan Village— Tuscan Sanctuary" presents us with lively and picturesque glimpses of charming environs. Oao is tempted to follow the steps of the traveller, who exclaims, "but who can de scribe the woods of Valombrosa, its aromatic breezes, its crystal waters, the firs which crown its heights, the roses which scent its air." "The Story of Margaret DeLzil" still continues its mysterious legends, but will soon con clude. r h s h e i d s article studies, .opinions, .Tubingenaud y n t opensunde under discussion nnm ber i n h o i f c which o t there l. A s tncs University hiLsvpAne present es . Ds — i etr and 3 subjecti ce A Ch le al n m g e t are several interesting papers. The Editor con tinues his recollections of " Dead Men," and th emin schemes. A. discursive paper, bearing the quaint title of 4, Bodies and Souls," gives a pleasant pictur e of the vene rable andihealth-giving city of Bath, w h ich t exhibits in a different aspect from that atmosphere of fash ion i and frivo lity in which we are sometimes wont to regard it. D Phipson contributes a learned essay on h Plants, and the Rev Francis Trench ° iv t es e Movements pleasantly ments o f written article descripti ve o f Ch a l ons and its camp. Mr Ludlow draws some striking social and moral lessons from a careful examination of Mr Tennyson's "Northern Farmer," who has seemi ng ly b roug ht the uncooth dialect of the provinces into fashion, for we find on another page two quaintly-worded Dorsetshire poems byWilliam Barnes. The two stories of "The Hillyards and the Burtons" and " The Son of the Soil" are continued with unabated inte rest in their very different styles. The one is all action, the other nearly all reflection, so that they may suit very opposite tastes. LONDON SOCIETY is gay and amusing as ever, still following the sober conviction that lovemaking and croquet are the two most serious phases of existence. Its illustrations are, as usual, profuse and clever, and we are glad to find that feminine pencils still keep their place among the illustrators. For the literary contents we have a story which (happy excep tion to the general rule 1) is complete in the number, and in which a fortune-hunter fares much better than he de serves; a sketch of Canadian sporting life, a graphic portrait with pen and pencil of Saturday night in Leather lane, the experience of a week's holiday in the Low Coun tries, the result of a visit to a madhouse, and sundry other lively sketches. Besides we have the narrative of a shy man's difficulties, and shy men are proverbially butts for less sensitive or more adacious mortals, only if mauvaise haute is ever to be excused it must certain be when its victim is among the very Gothic company in which Mr Blueherly's ill fortune placed him. The story of " The Ordeal for Wives" is continued at some length, and the complications of the plot widen. It is a clever but unsatis factory story. and the sober-minded reader begins to lose patience with these fair damsels who seem to have no thought beyond their own love affairs, which, truth to tell, they do not alway carry on in the best manner. THE ST. JAMES'S MAGAZINE.—The indefatigable Miss Braddon proceeds with her new novel " Only a Clod," and in this instalment we get further indi. cations that the love affairs of Francis Tredethlyn and his quondam master will eventually become entangled ; and we also gain some knowledge of poor Susan's proceedings after her hasty flight from home. " An Unfortunate Queen" is the name of a paper devoted, as might be supposed, to Sir Lascelles Wraxall's Life of Caroline Matilda. " A Fair Conqueror," by W. Russell, records the happier experience of a more fortunate lady— Madame Recamier. The career of this lady was an un chequered and continual success. She was feted and adored by all ranks and all parties, and the fame of her salons is still extant, though not only the society, but the whole political organisation of her country has been changed. " Allotments versus Paupeesm" is a very useful and in teresting palter, showing the beneficial effects of distribut ing small portions of land among a group of villagers, whose:allotments of not more than a quarter of an acre each were sufficient to improve their condition considerably and to keep the wolf from the door during the dreaded winter. " The Trials of Thomas Atkins" records a semi-comic, semi , tragic military experience. Dr Scaffeur gives an exposition of the general principles of telegraphy—a science which a great many of us talk fluently about, but which very few really understand. GOOD WORDS,—Good Words loses none of its TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN, SIR,—You are one of the few editors who have adverted to the pernicious effects of the present system of the cur rency. Every five or six years the stringent measures adopted by the Bank of England Directors to prevent the efflux of their gold occasion a crisis, which involves in ruin a great many merchants, traders, and speculators, and by' lowering prices and raising exorbitantly the interest of money, inflict serious injury upon a multitude of others, who only by making great sacrifices are enabled to weather the storm. In consequence of opening our ports to foreign nations, many of whom maintain protective tariffs, the balance of trade has frequently been so much against England, that if gold had not been discovered in California and Australia, Sir R. Peel's currency bill must have been'abandoned long ago. At present, owing to the extension of our trade in the East. and to the purchase of cotton at a high price in India and Egypt, the balance of trade is so much against us, and the demand for silver and gold is so great, that our present system of currency has become a source of pauperisation. It cannot be maintained, except by enormous sacrifices, and it ought forthwith to be suspended ; and, as soon as Par liament shall meet, to be altered. What is required is a well regulated paper currency, which, having no intrinsic value, will not be affected by the abundance or scarcity of gold. In order to obtain this, there must be the pressure from without. Our manufacturers, commercial men, and traders must not remain inert and silent, like sheep prepared to be slaughtered. They must demand liberation from Sir R. Peel's destructive Currency Bill. We nanat hope that some public-spirited and enlightened member of Par liament will take up this important question. Your most obedient servant, Burley-on-the-hill, Oakham, Rutland. G. Frxen. ST. JAMES'S HALL.—The boys from the Royal Military Asylum, Chelsea (Duke of York's School), by permission of Colonel Yorke, C. 8., were kindly invited eS Piofessor Anderson to his SaturdAy morning j uven il e entertainment. They were 400 in number, with their at tendants, and the band, under the direction of Mr. John Wilson, bandmaster ; and the juvenile soldiers appeared highly delighted on the occasian, being the wizard's fourth morning performance. The hall was densely crowded in every part. The female Danish vocalists, and the Danish Military Guards' Band (now engaged fur Jullien's concerts at her Majesty's Theatre) were among the visitors, and seemed much pleased with the entire entertainment, while they were objects of considerable interest. The Danish National Anthem was performed by the bald, and the complimentary remarks made by the professor as to the nationality of the Danes gave gene al satisfaction, and were received with enthusiasm by a crowded and fashionable audieueo. 5,7, 9, REGENT-STREET.
