To this end ha would have us exert ourselves in the extension of railways, and declares a railroad from Bagdad to the Medi terranean to be the next great want. The concluding article in the number is on " Our Foreign Policy," which it views frcm a Whig point of view. The denunciation of the cruel and perfidious conduct of P, ussia is hearty and uncompromising, but no ingenuity of argument or of invec tive can exonerate our English Cabinet from a share in the blame.

The first number of a new serial deserves a word L of greeting, especially when, as in this case, it is independent in tore and straightforward in prin. ciple. The British Army and Navy Review has opened the campaign valiantly by selecting a wide range of subjects, and treating them in 'a fair and open manner, which is calculated to gain respect and secure popularity. There is no lack of exciting topics just now connected with the services, and of these the Editor has largely availed himself. The number opens with a paper on " Lee's Se cond Year of Campaigns in Defence of Richmond," well written and useful as a summary of events. The present paper is only the first instalment, and relates to the inva sion of Pennsylvania last year. It is accompanied by a map of the district, and another illustrating Gettysburg and its vicinity is promised with the next chapter. " The Navy Sixty Years Ago," is a well written paper revealing a state of things so unjust and oppressive that it is marvellous we should have been able to maintain a navy at all. James Grant tells the melancholy story of Major Andre with spirit and interest, and Thomas Hughes discourses on the pro spects of toe Volunteer Force. This, as may be guessed, is a congenial subject for the author of " Tom Brown." " Five and Threepence per Diem" contains some severe but sensible remarks on the system of unlimited credit so common Among young subalterns, and speaks in no mea sured terms of the conduct of many firms of military tailors, outfitters, La., who draw their unwary victim deeper and deeper into debt, reckoning on the inevitable sale of his commission for payment. There is a very ex cellent paper on " Denmark," which is just now the great topic of the day. It is remarked that had King Frederick lived to the age of Methuselah, there is no reason to Sup pose the settlement of the Duchies would have been dis turbed. The heroic family of the Napiers is the subject of a brief but interesting paper. It is remarked that some times a family is found which possesses some peculiar or special faculties which run through all the race. The Napiers are a notable instance of this hereditary power, and the writer of this paper does no more than justice when he speaks of them as a family which their country may well be proud. The summary of the month's events dwells at some length on the state of affairs at Greenwich Hospi• tal, and the recent revelations at the War-office. The pic ture drawn of life in that office between the hours of 10 and 4 would be very amusing, if it were not unfortunately founded on fact. It is quite true that the elegant amuse ments of these official gentlemen were a little curtailed by those above them. A paper on the Alabama gives a vivid account of her last encounter with the Kearsage. ;.7 p Hastings." An account is, of course, given of the recent engagement off Cherbourg. "Four Years on the Gold Coast" contains much matter of interest. The writer has studied the natives closely, and furnishes many peculiar traits of character. Papers on the restoration of the appa rently drowned, a memoir of the late Sir Alex. Murray Tulloch, of Crimean celebrity, and Cavalry Remounts in Ireland and on the continent are also to be fottad in this number. ONCE A WEE/.—This serial professes to ba a miscellany of literature, art, science, and popular information, and its perusal wilt satisfy the render that it performs its promise well. There is a great variety in the contents, and utility of information is skilfully blended with interesting and attractive subjects. There are several tales met with, which are sufficiently exciting to win the approval of the lovers of the sensational class. "A Painter's Courtship" is a very ingenious narrative. The everts are improbable, but very skilfully introduced. The Coast-guardsman's tale is a sketch that is peculiar, and affords a warning as to the impotence of rtver.:;e. The verses are above the average in u:erit ; and altc.7,ether this publication well nriintains its positi,,n atumg its confetti poraties, au I preserves its deserved rermtu!lon. LUTTRELL OF A:7:EAN. By Cwe:rict, Lever. Part the cicse of the lest number w e e Jet:: Kate 01:14ra comfortab:y located with /he old baronet, Sir Within Wardle; Mr MT.:inlay having, much. against his inclina6an, departed for Italy in el. urge. of Ada and Mademoiselle Heireernan. Although matte than a year is supposed to have elapsed since the la st chapter, the reader is requested to take a brief retrospect of what befell the lawyer on his continental trip. It would seem that after the usual inconveniences inseparable fr.wri I. • • foreign travel, he at length reached his destination, mid found that Sir Gerva:s Vyner was unwell and unable to see him. His quondam love, Miss Courtnay, however, meets him, and in the interview that takes place between them Mr. M'Kinlay proves himself, if possible, to be a greater blockhead and blunderer than he did when he dined with Sir Within Wardle, and we quite agree with Miss Courtnay when she exclaimed, " I sincerely trust that you manage the material questions confided to you with more ability aad. tact than you do matters of social interest!' That a man of M‘Kinlay's supposed professional standing should be so as he is represented appears unlikely. Mr. Leve: has, nevertheless, probably drawn his character from real life, and so many knaves are to be met with in the profession, it is but natural that a few fools may be found. Kate O'Hara has passed upwards of a year at Dobraden, acting pretty much as the mistress, when Sir William announced to her that he expected visitors—and these by no means welcome ones—in fact, his heirs. Our old friend, Mr Grenfell, appears again upon the scene, and forms one of a partie cairde who dine at Dabraden. There is considerable mystery attached to the histories of both Kate O'Hara and Miss Courtnay. In fact, we do not re member one of Mr Lever's novels in which some kind of mystery was not apparent, Indeed, the complete suspense in which the reader is held until the clever denouement, possesses as great a chat m as the author's vivid descriptions; and we have no fear that " Luttrell cf Arran" will prove an exception to this rule. The illustrations are, as usual, but in the second one a novelty in ornithology is pre. , ,ented to us—namely, a hen pheasant with a lord tail. MR. ROMFORD'S HOUNDS, Part 111., by the Author of " Handley Cross," &c., commences with a history of how Lucy Sponge followed Mr. Rom• ford's hounds, and the consequences which resulted in Mr. Romford having to resign the mastership of the Heavysides Hunt owing to the supposed impro• priety of the proceeding, the ladies being jealous of Lucy, and saying that she was not fit for good society. This part of the tale is not in good taste, for although the description of the run is capital, the conduct of Lucy and Romford is unnatural. It is not probable that a woman of good sense and penetration would consent to take up her abode at a country inn, to live among strangers, and act as whipper in to a man of Mr. Romford's character. Mr. Romford, however, drops upon his feet, and soon attains another appointment in the county, and this times takes a handsome residence. As Lucy is now independent, she consents to her mother coming to live with him as his housekeeper, while Lucy passes for the widow of a defunct officer, the brother of Romford.

The winner, however, turned up in au outsider, Spice, who won all the way, de • feating the favourite, Camball, by a length. The Exeter Stakes was the most interesting event of the day, from the appearance of Olmar, an outsider for next year's Derby, who has been in the market at 40 to 1. He came with a high private reputation, but was the first horse beaten in the race, Count RitthStany's Puritan winning easily by two lengths in advance of the French colt Ratho mago. Prosperity, going well at the time, broke a blood vessel, and, of course, her chance was extinguished. Vision, speedy though she is over half a mile, found three quarters a little too much for her, and was beaten in very hollow style by Brioche. The Town Plate appeared to be a match between Tomato and Privateer, the Baron's mare winning very cleverly by a length.

A long delay occurred at the post caused by the breaking away of Prince Le 800 and the restiveness of Deerfoot and Voluptas. When they got away Xurullo, lying in the centre, was the first in advance, followed on his right by Concordia and the favourite, and on the left Measure for Measure, Evelina, and Prince Lee 800. In these positions they ran to half way down the hill, when Mr Naylor's filly disappeared from the front, and on their fairly entering the bottom Xurullo took a decided lead, and with Voluptas, Measure for Measure, and Deerfoot in attendance finished the race home.

Sir,— The result of the 21st scientific balloon ascent, as compared with those found previously, are distinct and highly interesting. The balloon was remarkably free from revolving on its axis, enabling me to make for the first time satisfactory magnetics' experiments. Also for the first time I was enabled to make experiments with the view of deter mining the ratio of respiration to pulsation, an important physiological inquiry. The sky was cloudy at starting, but at the height of 800 feet it was clear, but of a pale blue ; the lower atmosphere throughout the journey was thick, obscuring for the most part the sun, and limiting the view to a few miles only. The path of the balloon was from Sydenham, over Penge, near to Bromley, down the Sevenoaks-road to Tonbridge, over Goudhurst, near Cranbrook, overTenterder,toßomney Marsh. The views, though limited in extent, were beautiful, there being a constant succession of parks and gentlemen's seats, the whole country, so highly cultivated, appearing like a continuous garden, the sun often lighting up water, giving it the appearance of burnished gold. When over Shortlands the fountains at the Crystal Palace began to play, and although diminutive in appearance they looked very pretty as lighted up by the sun. The balloon left at 6u 331 m in the evening of June 27, with a temperature of 63 deg. At 6h 37m we were over Penge, at the height of 600 ft, and the temperature was 67 deg; our path was then near to Bromley. Passed over Hayes-common at heights varying from 800 ft to 1,600 ft, with temperatures varying from 55 deg to 57 deg. At 7h lm the temperature was 55 deg ; at the height of 900 ft this gradually declined to 43 deg by 7h 15w at the height of 4,200 it. The balloon then descended to 3,200 ft at 7h 26m, and the temperature increased to 47 deg. At this time we were passing down the Sevenoaks-road. We then turned to ascend, reached 5,000 ft at 7h 42m, being at that time nearly over Toubridge,and the temperature declined to 42 deg. Our path then was a little south of Tonbridge, over Goudhurst, near to Cranbrook, the balloon for the most part descending with increasing temperatures to the height of 450 ft, nearly over Tenterden, by Sh 54m, the temperature of the air at this height being 49 deg. We then ascended to 6000 ft at 9h Bw. The temperature here was about 37 deg. but it was too dark to read the very fine column of mercury in my delicate thermometer, and after this I could not read any instill meats. We touched the earth at 9h 21m in a field half a mile from Cheyne Court, about four miles from Lydd and five miles from the coast. At 9h 30w, by the light of a Luci fer match, I read the temperature at 462 deg ; the flickering and transitory light was bad, however, to read by. There was one peculiarity in this ascent, as I have already mentioned, distinct from all others, and that was the fre quent freedom from any revolution of the balloon. At times, for 10 or 15 minutes, certain objecfs kept in the same azi muth ; this enabled me to take 20 different sets of vibrations of a horizontal magnet with as much accuracy as I could take them on earth. The results of these experiments showed clearly that the magnet vibrated in a longer time than on earth. This result is very valuable in our present state of magnetical knowledge. There were in the car, in addition to Mr Coxwell and my self, Mr Woodroffe, of the Royal Horse Guards, Mr W. F. Ingelow, Mr E. Atkinson, Mr J. Atkinson, Mr F. W. Ellis, and Mr Collins. At the height cf 1,600 feet, the number of pulsations in one minute of the several gentler:Oen were as follows :—Mr. WoArofte, 120 ; Mr Ingelow, 108 ; Mr. E. Atkinson, 78; Mr Collins, 108 ; Mr Coxss all, 84 ; and myself, 104.: The number of respirations in one minute were :—Mr Woodroffe, 19 ; Mr Ingelow, 18; Mr E. Atkinson, 17; Mr Collins, 11; Mr Coxwell, 15; and myself, 18k. Mr Collins repeated the experiment with the same result, and spoke very decidedly about his correctness. The ratio of respirations to pulsations was therefore as follows :—Mr Woodrifle, 1 to 6 ; Mr Ingelow, I to 6 ; Mr E. Atkinson, 1 to 5; Mr Collins, 1 to 10; Mr Coxwell and myself, 1 to sf. At midnight at Brooklands Mr Coxwell's pulsations in one minute were 90, Mt Collins 94, and mine 88 ; and re spirations were 18, 15, and 174 respectively ; therefore, the ratio of respirations to pulsations were Mr Coxwell 1 to 5, Mr Collins 1 to 6, and mine 1 to 5. The ratio of my ordinary respirations to my ordinary pulsations is 1 to 4i ; so that the removal of even the small amount of atmospheric pressure as experienced on this occa sion, disturbed the system, but w!th advantage, as enjoying the purity of mountain air without fatigue, increasing the ordinary pulsations by 20 to 30 in a minute, increasing also the number of respirations, but not to the same degree. This disturbance had lessened, but had not ceased, two and a half hours after we were again on the ground, On the following morning my pulsations numbered 76 and my respirations 17 in one minute, and had therefore assumed their normal valuo, One of the results of the experiments on June 13 was so remarkable—viz., a uniformity of temperature at the time of sunset for 2,000 ft from the earth, that it became very desirable to determine whether this was accidental or not; for if not accidental the decrease of temperature with in crease of elevation which holds good by day might be re versed at night, at least up to a certain height ; 1 was therefore desirous of having as many evening observations as possible at this time of the year. On June 201 ascended from the Arboretum at Derby two hours before sunset and descended one hour before sunset, with results in close accordance with previous days assents. The experiments briefly detailed above would seem to show but little difference of temperature at the times of sunset, but it is to bo regretted I had no means of reading in the balloon after nine o'clock. Our place of descent was Romney Marsh.

There were three lengths between the second and third ; Munchausen was a bad fourth, Sloth fifth, Magazine sixth, and Glen Isla next.

No. LXXX. Ed• monston and Douglas. 'We have already quoted largely from the first article in the present number, which is devoted to the memory of a much lamented man, and is penned in a spirit of warm and well merited friendship. Curiously enough it begins with an etymological blunder, by substituting " of " for "in," as if it were the pages and not their writer that paid the tribute to Lord Elgin. The career of the noble lord is ably, though briefly, depicted. His rule in Jamaica and in the Canadas, his Embassies to China and Japan, were remarkable in their results, and his short tenure of authority in India closed a career such as few men have had the good fortune to achieve. The writer of this essay, who knew him well, displays him in yet another light from the one in which he is generally regarded, and by copious extracts from letters which Lord Elgin wrote when visiting some of the grand old wonders of Eastern art and skill, he shows that the man of reason and of action partook also of the qualities of the philosopher and the poet. " A Fortnight in Faroe" is a fresh and interesting narrative ; the style is light and animated. The descriptions of the Eider ducks and of the whale hunt are striking to the English reader. The Eider down is highly valued in many countries, and is a profit able article of trade, so that Pope's famous line about the fur that warmed a monarch having previously warmed a bear, may be parodied about this costly article of luxury. The essay on "Energy" is learned and scientifin, discuss ing the properties of heat and motion with all the wonders of electricity and magnetism in developing telegraphic agency. Mr Trollope's novels form the subject of an en tertaining paper which enters very fully into their merits and deficiencies. The critic accords high praise to the novelist, and allots him a very high rank in his own peculiar school. "The Daydreams of a Schoolmaster" enters into a sensible inquiry into the mode of education and the necessity of a change for the better in the manner of moulding the minds of the rising generation. " Chris tian Missions" is the title of a lengthened essay on the various attempts .to promote Christianity among the heathens, but this kind of literature is, as the reviewer ex presses it, not generally "easy reading." " The old Anglo• ' Scottish Dialect" is a rather heavy paper, though learned and able. The writer =eiders that the old Anglo-Saxon and the Scottish are twin sisters, and that the. Scottish will gradually die out in the process of time, perhaps in the present century. An account of " Rambles in the Deserts of Syria" is both entertaining and instructive, but the writer contradicts his title, for he says that men do not ramble in the Syrian desert. "If they be Europeans they travel principally with a set purpose, and to see a certain locality. If Arabs they wander because it is their life to do so, th econditionoftheirexistenceastheriverflowsin omneovum. Thus the tribe of the Anezi circle perpetually in a great migratory orbit, which takes them to Aleppo in summer, towards Urfa, Diarbehir, Mosul, and Bagdad in winter, and leads them round by the southern region of the Desert, passing near Damascus, Home, and Hama, back to Aleppo. Or, be they European or native, Syrian wayfarers stray rather than ramble from the right direction, like the cara van of three thousand camels, with six hundred men, which perished in 1858 near Hera Tji Sheham. It was bound from Damascus to 'Bagdad, and lost the way. No Beda ween happened to be within reach, and a tribe came upon their remains long after their death." The essayist's opinion of army reform being effected In the Turks is by no means hopeful. The Turks are an intrusion in Europe, they are irremediably bound up intheir old superstitious bigotry, and will not be reformed. The author says that the constant effort of most Turks to better themselves belongs 1,, - ; one of two kinds—plunder or bribed connivance. High and loa, - ; offi cial and unofficial, rich and poor, all follow the tortuous groove of peculation, corruption, and extortion, on the ene hand, or are addicted, on the other, to armed depredations. The author is of opinion that Russia is now in a better po sit:on to conquer the Turks than before the Crimean war, both from the experience acquired and the submission, or rather expulsion, of the Circassians, and their immigration to Turkey. It is a fallacy to suppose that a Turkish em pire can be preserved by European allies', for the national character of the Turk is entirely opposed to such a scheme. He is, according to this writer, at one moment a moody bigot, at another a fanatical zealot. "The Turk is still what he was four centuries ago; he retains the characteris tics of his savage, intractable ancestors ; he is utterly un improvable ; he hates change, and therefore hates civilisa tion, hates Europeans, and hates and fears all that they propose. Let those who expect improvement under the Turkish rule examine well the character of the Mohamme dan religion, and see whether it be reasonable to expect the desired changes while Islamism continues the religion of the State, supported by a priesthood constituted as is that of Turkey." It is practically proved, says the author a little on, by the history of 1,100 years, that Mohammedanism and civilisation are incompatible. Those Turks who have The Fine Arts Quarterly _Review. No. 4. Some remarks are made on the subject of a Ter centenary Memorial of Shakspere, which are worthy of attention. Amid the various plans pro posed it is suggested, in conclusion, that it appears a suitable site for a statue of Shakspere is to be found in the area in front of the British Museum--" Our noble and only temple of our literature and of ancient art, a statue in bronze, placed on a grand pedestal, adorned with two inscriptions, in English and in Latin, and two relievos, representing in some way the character of his un rivalled genius, would, if placed there, be visible all day and every day to every posterity, without jealous guardian ship; would be saluted by every student as ha passes on to pursue his own studies, and by the tens of thousands who yearly visit the Galleries, and would be where it should be, at the very gate of that realm over which the memory of Sbakspere reigns supremo." Amid the tinny proppsals , that have been made concerning the right and fitting mode of doing honour to our immortal bard, this seems the most desirable tribute that can' be offered, and one that well accords with the spirit and sentiment of the people in doing honour to what is here justly called "The Tercentenary Commemoration of England's First Liter try Son." There ie.:ln article on " Analysis and Syn thesis in Painting." which offors some valuable hints, and furnishes ab.ogether a careful study for the consideration of the reader. The "Reaction from Pre-Raphaelitism" is a good definition of that system, and the lovers of art will be interested in observing its dissertations. It is hero truly stated that Pre-Raphaelite work does not admit of medio crity. They who offer to tell the whole truth have heed of enormous knowledge. The expectations formed of this school have been greatly overrated, and it is now found how fallacious were the extravagant assertions at first made concerning it. There is a paper on "Paul Delaroche," which is most attractive; it is written in a style and spirit worthy o f the chronicles of him who was called Peintre National de la France. The lives of painters are always most interesting subjects of study, and this is an epitome of an active and arduous career. It is said in conclusion that the exhibition of his works in April, 1557, was the "finest monument that could be raised to him. It too eften happens that men of genius and talent are judged with equity after their death, and etc it was with Paul Delaroche ; only then did France render full justice to the great artist she had lost." " Art Ex hibitions in London" are considered. It is impossible to overrate the immense variety met with in this work, and for its general character, no less than its superiority in style, it may take rank among the foremost productions of its class, which the improving taste of the public in this respect enables them to appreciate more fully, and admire more heartily. The Journal of Agriculture. No. 85. Blackwood. The opening article in this quarterly is a paper on " Acclimatisation Societies," in which it is re marked that we have hitherto underrated the im portance of such undertakings. It is followed by an article on the dietary of the British labourer, in which his ordinary food is disadvantageously corn. pared with the brose and " parritch" of his Scottish neigh bours, and the milk which constitutes the chief beverage of the latter is regarded by the author to be a wholesome substitute for beer. We apprehend, however, that such a change would not be very easily made, and perhaps it re quires the keen air of the Scottish hills to render such a diet palatable. ".Salmon Literature" is discussed, and the question has now assumed some interest to the general public. " The Farmers', Note-Book " contains an account of the effects of extra manuring upon turnips, and the agri cultural summary for the quarter and tables of average prices of grain are given as usual. The transactions of the Highland and Agricultural Society of Scotland, which are appended to this journal, contain some interesting remarks on the beech, its history, and peculiarities, the best method of cultivating it, and the height, girth, and age reached by the finest specimens extant. An essay on the comparative value of the different grasses will be found practically use ful, and the record of "Proceedings in the Laboratory," by Mr Anderson, chemist to the society, has some curious information. The Rose, the Shamrock, and the Thistle Magazine. This pleasant miscellany goes on its way with unabated spirit, and reflects credit on its fair editress and compositors, for it is issued from the Caledonian Press, which is similar in design to the London Victoria Press, which has proved the astonishing fact of women being capable of becoming expert typographers. We have the usual variety of tales, sketches, poems, and miscellaneous articles adapted to various tastes, and we trust that the public will continue to accord this praise worthy undertaking the encouragement which it so well merits. THE UNITED SERVICE commences with a e bapter on " The New Scheme of Naval Pay," in which the writt:x explains the difference between the old and ° he ft saw and r3gi n he: r r heard, and new sysZein. This is followed by an interesting account of "A Trip to Meade's Ariny i ^ E n R very_em_using. }le was well pailannock," by an officer of tfhwe ji.Rat He gives a very succinct account o When riding over the fortifi cations acme of his adventures are received by all parties, and was trested.w.ith great courtesy by General Meade and others , at Washington, on arriv ng at Arlington Heights, he gives a description of the house once occupied by General Lee, now in the possess ion of his enemies. On the subject of the defences of our dockyards a g ain st ironplated ships, the author contends that forts are far superior to ships for that purpose, and far less expensive. He goes on to calcu late th e probable expense of protecting the several ports, and furnishes many useful details. "A History of the E x periments at Shoeburyness" is continued, and the com mittee are blamed for not causing the larger guns to be experimented upon before the 12-pounders, for that we are already provided with good field artillery, but are deficient in heavy guns for the navy. "The Soldier's Why and Because" is continued, as is also the "Story of Oswald _-, it r • - Chi©f i rules ted iA actioo k y the as for ed bi ,jury, might 2 dia• noval 'school r, ana i r tides ~, 201 ighere storio . to tt per 30 Eng' e vis' s , an d -„ and OLIO for ales. e so 3. d• P" #
