The iel I is very extensive, and held under lease from Lady Grenville, for a term of twenty-one years, at a roe alty of one-fifteenth. The promising character of the Mines to be worked by the Present Company fully warrants the expo tation that large returns will be realised ; five Tin I odes are known to pass through the sett, and on one of which operations have been enrried on to some considerable extent by the former workers. Theiline is situated on the junction of Granite and Killas, so favourable for the production of metallic minerals, parti- Milady Tin. The ancient excavations on the backs of the lodes give evi d nce that vast quantities of Tin have been raised on the property, and recent explorations demonstrate this sett to be of a fuller no ordinary kind, it being merely a question of capital for evelopment to bring it into a dividend state. The reports a nnexed are from men of long practical ex per ence in the district ; their testimony as to the highly promising ebarac'er of the property, and the great local ad .vantages by which it is surrounded, will be r. , ad with inte rest, and leaving Dolling to be urged by the Directors, ex ce,,t an a ssurance of their strong c .nfidence as to its value, and that ere long it will bear cumparison with any of the rich Alines opened in the district. A contract has been entered into for the purchase of the property on most favouraule terms—viz., for £6,000 (.£2,500 in cash, and £3,500 in paid-up Shares).

The Company having been registered with limited liability, no Shareholder can, under any circumstances whatever, be made responsible for a greater amount than that of the shares to which he sub cribes. A considerable portion of the capital has already been sub scribed. The Directors propose to commence op era ti ons when they consider a sufficient number of shares have been subscribed for. Applications for Shares to be made in the subjoiaed form. The deposit money of 10s. p er s h are to be paid to the Company's Bankers, for which receipts will be given. If no allotment be made, the deposit money will be returned in full, and if a less number be al otted than is applied for the surplus will be used towards the payment on all_ tment.

PreOSPEC More than thirty years have elapsed since any leading Bank has been established in Scotlai.d ; and when the following eircumstanc , s are considered, viz., the extraordinary develop • went during this interval of the resources of the country. th extension of steam and railway communication ; the improved Cultivation and value of the laud; the almost wonderful growth of some of the chief cities and towns, in population, wealth, and enterprise ; and the fact that millions pass an nually between Scotland and the commercial Metropolis of the "World; coupled with the universally admitted deficiency of direct banking acc ommodation between both c oun t r i es ; it will be seen that the present is a peculiarly favourable op portunity for successfully introdu ing the London Bank of Scotland (L nutted), and securi ng it an extensive and profit able buiness. All financial operations between Scotland and London arc transacted through Agencies at considerable expense, time, and trouble, by far the largest proportion both of the Inland " Bills in c'rcula.tion in the country, and alto the Foreign Bills d rawn upon Great B r it a i n b e i ng made payable in London, the grand foc us t o which the pecuniary transac t i ons o f the Empire are ultimately brought to be adjusted. This Company will be enabled to offer very considerable advantages to the public, in the uniform and more economical charge for the collection, transmission, and liquidation of bills, money, exchanges, and other business transactions between Scotland and London. The remarkable success attendant upon banking institutions connected with this country, whether for Ireland. the Continent, or the Colonies, proves that an establishment in London facilitates business, whilst lars.:e profits are secured. None of the existing Scotch Banks possess this advantage ; and the Londcn Bank of Scotland is established to meet so great a monetary desi deratum. As corroborative of the necessity which exists for extended banking facilities, it may be also stated, that during the above mentioned period the external trade of the country has more than trebled itself. The returns published by the Boird of Trade 'how that the exports in the year 1831 amounted to ;£32,000,000, while in 180 they reached ; and that the aggregate value of the impoita in the year 1854 (when first ascertained) was £152,359,0-'3, which in 1859 amounted to £170,182,55i. The home trade during the corresponding period develoed itself to an extent w hi c h it ' is almost impossible to compupte. Regarding these consider lions, and the still rapidly expanding commercial relations between Edinburgh, Glas gow, Aberdeen, Dundee, Perth, Inverness, Paisley, Stirling, and other important pla^es in Scotland, with London, it has been decided in constituting thisßank to take powers to oven Branches, as circumstances may warrant, in the above cities and towns, commen.^ing first in Edinburgh and Glasgow, with a Head Office in London. The administrat on of the London Bank of Scotland and its Branches will be superintended by men of sound practi cal, 'commerciaL and financial knowledge, whose position wankaand antecedents will be a sure guarantee of the careful and nageme nt adopted th roughout all the details of this B The following statement - leading Joint -Stunk Banks the steady and rapid growth success which these Institut) 'howl the present position of the Scotland ; and while proving of business, Ind! ates the marked ions have attained, viz. -- c 0 g' 74 t <0 04 = '3' 2. 3 , 1 1 ) , 1 0 A .

" Wilson's Prehistoric Man" is the first subject considered. It states that this book applies to the unhistoric or speechless people, " a considerable part of Mr. Wilson's book is devoted to the considera tion of those ancient remains whether in the valley of the Mississippi or in the forests of Central Ame rica, which speaks of a civilisation, or at least of cities that had existed and left their ruins behind them, anterior to what we call the discovery of the New World," This is a very readable article, and enters at some length into this abstruse question ; at the commencement of it the writer states his conviction that scientific and religious truth are inextricably combined. Such is the correct view of the matter, and the more deeply the wonders of the earth are explored the greater should be the appreciation of its Creator. It has truly been written of the endless variety of creation— " He painted the ephemera's wings Who set the stars in motion, He formed Heaven's great and glorious things, Who poured the drops of ocean." " Caxtoniana" is continued, and this time treats of " Certain Principles of Art in Works of Imagina tion." This will doubtless prove interesting, since the writer is discoursing on kindred subjects. In criticising the best and most enduring forms in which to represent ideal characters so as to per sonify the real—it is truly said that generalities are the most successful. This is evidenced in Homer's heroes who " are so remarkably the types of large and enduring generalities in human character, that in spite of all changes of time and manners we still classify and designate individuals under those antique names." Also it is cited as an instance that the greatest novelist of Europe, Gil Bias, succeeds in those characters that are types and not portraits. Finally, great stress is laid on the importance and originality to constitute a work of genius. "The Life of General Sir Howard Douglas" treats of some volumes that have lately appeared on the life of that distinguished man. In this criticism the highest character is given to him, and it is said that, if cir cumstances had permitted him to direct the move ment of troops in the field, he would have attained a high rank, but that, as it was, he did more for the British army, and navy, too, than either of the heads of either service had the grace to acknow ledge. After the interesting summary here given of his career, the reader who glances at these pages will coincide with the sentiment of the last pas. sage—" Rest to his noble spirit; it will be long before we look upon his like again." A most pleas ing paper is that on " Ludwig Uhland." He is de scribed as the Laureate of Germany after the death of Goethe. It is said that he has much in common with Sir Walter Scott, having done for Germany what even Schiller and Goethe never effected— namely, " immortalised her local recollections," Some translations of his chief poems are here given, which are some of them admirably done, and seem to represent the true spirit of the author as well as can be expected through the medium of a foreign tongue. In mentioning the chief circumstances of his career, it is said that he was buried as he had lived, in privacy, but that probably he would not have wished it otherwise. "No doubt he was, as far as the honours that proceed from the great are concerned, to the end of his life an unacknowleged and unappreciated man, but he had all he wanted —robust health, self-respect, and the respect of those he loved, sufficient worldly means, and that sublime gift which Homer himself thought a full com pensation even for blindness." This little sketch is most interesting, and fully worthy of the subject of which it treats. Few men are more deserving of , regard and contemplation than they who are appro priately styled "the honoured of ages, the masters of song." "My Investment in the Far West" is a most amusing little narrative, that relates the extra ordinary adventures of a man who was well and wished to do better. It is improbable that he should have succeeded in extricating himself from his embarrassment in so fortuitous a style as is here represented. The mixture of scorn and ridicule that he met with from the Yankees when they understood his mission to the Far West, is very entertainingly described. "The Landscape of Ancient Italy," as delineated in the Pompeian paintings, is Also a paper worthy of notice in its way. It refers to a work by the Danish botanist Joachim Frederic Schorun on the plants of Pompeii. In order to ascertain the plants known to the Porn peians, Schorun remarks that two means are open to us—the pictures in the ruins, and the remnants of the-plants themselves. The following conclusion may be safely deduced, that the stone pine and the cypress were then as now the trees that gave the Neapolitan landscape its character. In mentioning the disappearance of some of those introduced in old times, the oriental plane is enumerated. The Romans were greatly devoted to this tree. Persian monarchs and Grecian heroes were equally attached to it, " as it is now the glory of Ispahan and Shiraz, so it was of the Greek cities of yore, the groves of the Academe and Lyceum were composed of it." This is rather an unusual article, but it is rather refreshing in its novelty, and the chronicles of those ruined cities draw always something new and interesting in their study. Some instructive dissertation is met with on the fallacy of the for mulas of positivism, in which we meet with the following suggestion : " Could a modern really do what many a visitor to Pompeii has striven to do in intense eagerness of fancy; could he restore those truncated columns and repeoplethose desolate streets, and actuall3 converse with some cultivated contemporary of Pliny and Juvenal, or Cicero and Horace ; one can fancy that the feeling on both sides, after the first strangeness of the meeting had Leen got over, would be one of surp r i se, th at two specimens of humanity of such distant origin could have so much in common:' In pursuance of this theme, it is stated that if any one now woke up under the shadow of Winchester or Canterbury Cathedrals, and discoursed with th e best man of the Saxon times, he would find no congeniality and very little reciprocity in ideas. is account e d f or by the fact that those were This generations of decline and not of advance. With a g l owing tribute to the advantages of classical col ture, this entertaining paper terminates. "Ameri can State Papers" furnish the material for one of those smart articles that often distinguish this ma gazine. The most is made of the subject, and cer tainly it is a very suggestive one. Several of Mr. Seward's "impudent" phrases are commented on; among others, his sayirg "that it has been only European sympathies and European aid that have enabled our disloyal citizens to prolong the civil war." Mr. Motley's observations are also referred to, and due no ti ce i s taken o f hi s anno t a t ions on British matt ers .

" The Budget" is the political paper, and satirises the Chancellor of the Exchequer, and states that he has adopted some of the recommendations of the Opposition without having thegrace to acknowledge them. After allowing that this new Budget is less ingenious and hazardous than some of its prede cessors, it is said that the danger that menaces Mr. Gladstone's arrangements is that there will be a deficit in the years 1864-5 of £200,000. In a word, he is dispensing with a real surplus and re signing himself to a past deficit. The abandon ment of the Paper Duties has rendered our present financial position one of no ordinary embarrass ment. Finally, it is said that the peace of Europe does not rest on very safe foundations; if exceptional expenditure occur how are we to meet it. We cannot re-impose the Paper and Tea Duties, and the articles in the French Treaty are irrevocably fixed as they are. Hence it is argued that— " A large increase of the income tax, and an issue of Ex chequer bonds, are the only means by which we can hope to make head against an emergency. The surplus is merely nominal—the balances in the Exchequer cannot be further reduced—and even the issue of Exchequer bonds can be re sorted to only to a small extent, in consequence of Mr. Gladstone's repeated postponement of paying off, as they fell due, the amounts already in circulation. Over the term of Mr, Gladstone's present financial administration, as over his previous one, the country will yet have to write the words, so damnatory of the reputation of a statesman, Improvidus futuri. In the present aspect of affairs, we begin to think anew ( f his Budgets before the Crimean War ; and we can only hope that the year 1864 will not be like 1854, and that the country will not find itself again in straits and embarra ssmen t s lik e those which proved well nigh overwhelming ten years ago.'' Dublin University Magazine. The first article met with is sure to be a welcome one with all readers, for it is entitled "The Land of the Princess, the Isles of Denmark and their People." It is truly stated at the outset that, whatever may happen, we are not yet flooded by the results of re cent travels in the country that has given birth to the princess whom we all, however differing among ourselves, have unanimously resolved to love and honour. A most agreeable sketch is given of the Isles of Denmark, and certainly a more attractive subject, just at present, could not have been fixed upon. " The Great Essayist of France" next en gages our attention. First we are introduced to Montaigne Pere, and then to Montaigne Fils. This sketch is entertainingly written, and furnishes us with a good general idea of its subject, " Bella Donna, or the Cross before the Name," is continued at some length. It is a romantic tale, but not one of any special interest. " Catullus," Part 1., is an instructive essay. It is mentioned that his life was passed almost wholly unrecorded by biography. Great pains have been taken to impress the reader with a correct idea of this notability of antiquity, and the result is favourable on the whole. It is mentioned, in treating of his works, that " in no other Roman poetry, not-even excepting Virgil, do we find such charming original images, and so facile and exquisite a gift for producing musical effects in language, as in that of Catullus." " Sterne and his Day" is continued, but does not yet approach com pletion. We leave him, at the close of this instal. ment, on the threshold of a new career. " The whole page is opened, and the splendid glories of success, and of London homage, is waiting for the obscure Yorkshire cleric." ,f Indian Adventure" is a brief sketch of some striking adventures—ad ven t ures tha t are exciting and lovers told with spirit.

Ber anger is awarded the highest praise. In summing up the prevailing tendency of this writer it is said that wit is the characteristic of the chansons of Beranger, hence their popularity in France, where the orator who delights most is the wittiest, where Voltaire is the representative man, and where even statesmen and kings from Henry the Fourth down to Talleyrand and Louis Philippe have vindicated their reign and most important acts with a mot; Tenny son is over-rated, th e writer going so far as to say that he possesses the true gift of ima gination in a higher degree, perhaps, than any poet since Milton. Further on it is stated that in " In Memoriam" the work is superior to the sonnets of Shakespeare and Petrarch. The concluding pas sage, though] most descriptive, is exaggerated, as will be seen from this instance, viz., " It is curious to contrast Heine's poetry of affec tion and sorrow, so full of misanthropy and de spair, so startling in its occasional depth and brief dramatic intensity, with that of the larger poet soul, who, struggling through grief and scepticism, raises a cry above the conquered years—embraces the universe in its contemplation, and ascending above the regions of knowledge, folds its wings in fond assurance in the sphere of faith and love, where the personified Heart of Deity reigns to save and to restore. As poet, philosopher, and artist no poetic mind since Milton has exhibited a trinity of powers so noble, bright, beautiful, and perfect as that of Tennyson." " Our Answer to Professor Cairns, on Slavery and Secession," is a sensible paper on an important topic. It satirises the inconsistencies of the work, and is altogether a smart sketch worthy of perusal. " The Earlier Heroes of the Geneva Republic" can hardly fail to prove attractive to those who delight to fol low the fortunes of the remarkable men of that period. It is forcibly said that "no one can read the early story of the Geneva struggle without ad miring the disinterestedness, gallantry, and devo tion of the patriots whose resistance to foreign in trusion and domestic tyranny taught them to appre ciate an emancipation of a higher kind which they were also dcstintd to bold forth as an example for nations still enchained and depressed." -____ eraser's Magazine.

Those who have hitherto shrunk from its supposed perplexities will, under the guidance of Mr. Price, be enabled to unravel the mystery. Miss Cobbe, the spirited and intelligent lady, who, like Miss Gnshington, of romantic celebrity, has started on a solitary Eastern excursion, is DOW apparently returning homewards, for .he sends us the chronicle of a "Day at Athens," written in her usual animated and intelleOmal style. One of the most pretentious, but by no means the most inte resting articles in the number is a paper entitled "Negotiations with Spain in the Fifteenth Cen tury," which, although containing a good deal of historical information, is not likely to attract the attention of the general reader. " A Chapter on Superstition" is another lergthened paper on the various phases of credence in witchcraft, which lin gers in some rurrl districts even to the present day. Among the remaining papers are an essay on the poetical subject of the loves of Dante and Beatrice, and a testimony to the merits of the late lamented Secretary of State for War. Bentley's Miscellany. The prominent feature in Bentley is of course its editor's romance. This instalment is full of start ling changes, and Constance Tyrrell's flight from the Palace, her concealment by Osbert, her detec tion by the King, and her imprisonment in Lam beth Palace, follow each other in quick succession. We cite the following passage from Mr. Ainsworth's elaborate description of the Cardinal's splendid house : " The present vast and irregular pile, known as Lambeth Palace, was preceded by a much smaller mansion, wherein the Archbishops of Canterbury were lodged, and to which a chapel was attached. This building was pulled down in 1262 by the turbulent Archbishop Boniface, and a new and more important structure erected in its place. Of Boni face's palace little now remains save the chapel and crypt. So many additions were made to the palace by successive archbishops, and so much was it altered, that it may al most be said to have become another structure. A noble ball, subsequently destroyed in the time of the Common wealth, was built by Archbishop Chichely, who flourished in the reign of Edward IV.; while the chief ornament of the existing pile, the gateway, was reared by Cardinal Archbishop Morton, towards the end of the fifteenth century. The Steward's Parlour, a chamber of large dimensions, was added by Cranmer, and a long gallery and other buildings were erected by Cardinal Pole. " Before entering the palace let us pause to examine the s g i a s t t e i n w g a y, of a t s w t r o u l c a t r u g r e e s o ci f u a e l r m e ostunrivtowers,alledt e b f fi a u n t e y b , r a i and -em con battled, and edged with stone. The archway is pointed, and has a groined roof springing from four pillars, one in each corner. Spiral stone staircases lead to the upper chambers, and from the leads of the roof a wonderful pros wp c th t o t f h t e h p e e s r u t r e r r o , u s n l o d d i ngge is m e a t r e o m p o a l l i l s p i s o r s e b n t a i e n h e a d m. ber, e C r o , Connected a double door, and high, narrow , grated windows. The walls are cased with stone, and of prodigious thick ness, while three heavy iron rings fixed in them attest the purpcse to which the room was formerly applied. " Passing through the principal court, we enter the great hall, rebuilt by Archbishop Juxon on the exact model of the old hall, demolished during the Protectorate, so that it may be considered a counterpart of Archbishop Chichely's banqueting chamber. Nearly a hundred feet in length, proportionately wide and lofty, this noble room has a su perb pendant timber roof, enriched with elaborate carv ings, and lighted by a louvre. In the great bay window, amidst the relics of stained glass, recovered from the origi nal hall, may be disce-ned the arms of Philip of Spain, painted by order of Cardinal Pole. At the present day the hall is used as the palace library, and its space is somewhat encroached upon by projecting bookcases, filled with works of divinity. At the upper end is the Arch bishop's seat. "From the great hall we may proceed to the gallery and guard chamber, the latter of which was once used as the d e narmouryts,pe pointed t e t d h e arches, palace. a n l d t has piercedan squandrels.roo roof, withHHere e p pen dants, e bmeansyeenof t t h h a e t Ar ef c c h a b r i d sh in o e p l s p o e f l C e, an ee te p r i b e u d frry,eam themong Raphaelle, preserved in the Barberini Palace at Rome.w originalhportraits h m ba o yy f " Pass we by the presence chamber and other state rooms, and let us enter the long gallery erected by Cardinal Pole—a noble room, lighted by windows enriched by stained glass. " Hence we will proceed to the chapel erected by Boni face. Lighted by three lancet-windows on either side, and divided by an elaborately carved screen, on the inner side of which is the archiepiscopal stall, this chapel retains but little of its pristine character, and is dis figured by a flat panelled ceiling, added by Archbishop. Laud. "Attached to the palace are a park and gardens of consi derable extent, and in the olden time of great beauty. Within the gardens, up to the commencement of the pre sent century, grew two singularly fine fig trees, planted by Cardinal Pole, and trained against that part of the palace which he erected. "Lambeth Palace came into Pole's hands in a very habit able condition, having been well kept up by his prede cess,r, Cranmer. So well pleased was the Cardinal with the mansion, that he not only embellished it in many ways, but enlarged it, as wo have previously mentioned. He also took great delight in the gardens, and laid them out in the Italian style. " Unostentatious of character, and simple in his tastes and habits, Pole felt it clue to his elevated position to main tain princely state in the residence assigned to him by their Majesties, and employ his large revenues in hospitality and charity. When complete, which it was within a month after his occupation of the palace, Pole's household was as numerous and magnificent as Wolsey's, and comprised a high chamberlain and vice-chamberlain, twelve gentlemen ushers, steward, treasurer, comptroller, cofferer, three mar shals, two grooms, and an almoner. In his chapel he had A dean, a sub-dean, twelve singing priests, and the like number of quiristers. Besides these there were his cross bearers, his pillar bearers, and two yeomen to bear his poleaxes. The inferior officers were almost too numerous to particularise, comprehending purveyors, cooks, sewers, cup bearers, yeomen of the larder, of the buttt ry, of the ewery, the cellar, the laundry, the bakehouse, the ward robe, the chandry, the wood yard, and the garden. Of gar. deners, indeed, there were several, Besides these, there were a multitude of pages and grooms, a sumpter man, a muleteer, and sixteen grooms of the stable, each of whom had four horses. Then there were tall porters at the gate, yeomen of the chariot, and yeomen of the barge. Nor were these all. In addition to those previously enume- rated, there were a physician, two chaplains, and two secretaries." A Crimean officer contributes a paper on the " In vasion of the Crimea," founded on Mr. Kinglake's recent work, which has renewed all the old discus sions and associations of that troubled time. Monkshood has an essay, which is as usual well worth reading. Hi s subject this month is the loneliness of great cities and the opportunities for privacy offered by the crowded streets and thorough fares of London. Alluding to Hawthorne's story of the man who, in pursuance of some unreasonable whim, took lodgings in the street next to his own house without letting his family know of his where. abouts, and who resided there twenty years with out being detected, Monkshood says that London is the one city in which such an incident is possible. A paper on " The Bois de Boulogne" tells us that the Bois in its present condition is the creation oi Napoleon 111. When Louis XVIII. restored it, after the occupation of Paris by the allied armies, he retained the old form of straight alleys at right angles, but the present Emperor has transformed it iuto an English park. When the design is fully completed, the Bois do Boulogne, says the writer of this article, will leave far be- hind it the parks of all other capitals. Frederick Marshall contributes an amusing paper on false hair, which gives us some curious statistics of the trade in that commodity. The story of " Modern Marriages a la Mode "is continued in a melancholy fashion, and relates the death of the maligned Emily. There are other articles of varying interest, amongst them a sketch of the career of the Dachebs of Portsmouth, the evil counsellor of the worthless Charles H. Colburn's United Service. "A Trip to Vancouver's Island" is continued in the same masterly style as hitherto, and great skill i 3 employed in exposing the system of entrapping emigrants by fair sounding speculations, ea was heretofore done by the settlers in Australia to obtain servants. The subjoined extract aptly illustrates the falsity of such hopes : " A cutler from Sheffield, with whom I chatted, told m e tho only , claim , ha found at Cariboo was disappo ' int j a c t io t r h it e i same ethteinmirgebfloradormidal.

Education has gained a march in Vancouver; the eehools do not include religion in their course of in struction, hence the mental calibre is higher than the moral. The state of the land in Vancouver is not satisfactory, and this is partly owing to a /ergo proportion being the property of speculators in other places ; these absentees do not care to im prove their estates, hence roads have not been made. A vast amount of information is afforded by this paper on the whole. We meet with some " Re marks on Military Law," which advert to various facts. Great stress is laid on the importance of young officers duly considering the importance of the duties that devolve upon them, and an instance is quoted in which, at a court-martial, a junior member calmly replied " death," in answer to what form of punishment the effender of some trivial offence was to undergo. On being questioned afterwards as to the meaning of his extraordinary conduct, he replied that be had looked at the Articles of War, and seen "Death, or such other punishment as a court-martial shall award," and so had said the word without thinking of it. Some observations are made on corporal punishment, and it is very properly said that it ought to be restricted to offences of a disgraceful nature. Some very useful hints are given as to the expediency of de cision in trying moments of emergency, and an example is adduced of what once occurred to the writer of these remarks when blockaded in Sebas tian by the Carlists. The English artillerymen were discontented in consequence of not having been paid, and one night refused to move from their private parade until they got their pay. The writer hastened to them, and first explaining that he would guarantee their payment, but they must not disgrace the British name, he added-- "Now, my men, I have told you how the matter is. I shall order you to face to the right and march off with your officers, who will now fall in with drawn swords; and, so help me God I as sure as I stand here, if you don't move at command I will shoot the right hand man, and run the next through with my sword on the instant; I hereby re quire the subalterns to do the same,each to his subdivision," and (cocking his pistol), gave the word, 'right, face, quick march I" They all moved off like clockwork, The writer went with them and remained all night on the Curtain, and never heard any more grumbling. On the contrary, they said, ' that is a good officer and the man to see his soldiers righted—a real soldier's friend I' He could always trust them in the greatest difficulties from that day for ward ; and, as lierodotus says, now I have done speaking of Military Law.' " Greenwich Characters" is a very amusing paper, and brings in a description of some characteristic seamen. " A Month on the Overland Route" is a very readable article. It is descriptive of the part of the route across the Isthmus of Suez, in which the writer gives an entertaining account of a visit to the Pyramids. In "The British Soldier" we meet with noticeable arguments. The absurd plan of paying the soldiers is commented upon, and it is shown how much trouble and expense might be saved as well as discontent avoided by paying them a smaller sum and giving them their rations gratis This paper may be — recommended to the notice of the authorities, and they must derive information, useful hints, and wise suggestions from its perusal. Few subjects are more important than the right organisation of the army departments. This num ber of the " United Service" offers, on the whole, a very fair share of information. Manzillan's Magazine. There are several things in Macmillan that are well worth reading. It opens, of course, with the interminable story of " Vincenzo, or Sunken Rocks," which is followed by a paper on the physicians and surgeons of the last generation, contaluing a num. ber of interesting anecdotes. "History and its Scientific Pretensions" are carefully considered by Mr. Thornton; and we meet with a pleasant essay entitled " Rariora of Old Poetry," which gives us a good deal of curious and recondite information respecting the laws of rhyme and metre in olden days. The author is evidently an experienced philologist, and his citations from old Saxon, Norse, Icelandic, and Welsh verse illustrate his meaning very strikingly. The science of language occupies a prominent position in this part, for a member of the Philological Society contributes an article on Babel, in which he descants learnedly on the ex traordinary variations of speech that continually occur among neighbouring peoples. The dan gerous absurdities of the mediums are dis cussed by Mr. Edward Dicey, who is half inclined to be a convert to spiritualibm. " Neapolitan Prisons, Past and Present," form the topic of a paper by a visitor to their gloomy precincts, and the number concludes with a very excellent article on " Servia and the Mussulmans." Cornliill 1112gazine. " The Small House at Allington" is much more exciting in this number. Crosbie proves himself the villain that he is, and his friends are ashamed of him. It is a good scene in which he is telling his friend at the club of his transactions and Lily's uncle arrives. In the next instalment we shall pro bably have the painful scene of Lily's ecclaircisse ment. " Chess "is a very entertaining sketch, and all who admire that noble game will be much edified with its perusal. The following passage will ex emplify the tastes of the writer : " In fact there is nothing in the way of amuFement about which people throw into the sea such mines of pleasure as this same game of chess. It possesses all qualities that are good, and none at all that are bad. It even combines fascinations of opposite kinds, a quality entirely special to itself; for it is peaceful, and at the same time warlike ; it is light, and yet profound ; it is manly, and yet womanly; you can play it by daylight, and you can play it by lamp light ; you can play it in the house; you can play it on the lawn, you can play it in a railway carriage, you can play it with board and men, and you can play it without either. It costs nothing, it is reputable, it is dignified, and it be shit:iiirine°lYel no lesson, leveson,oit be comes all classes and all ages of life. And it has a wealth that no other game can even approach. Its changes, if not literally endless, are at any rate past counting.

" Revelations of Prison Life" is a readable paper, and certainly the light of day is needed in these abodes to disclose, not the deeds of darkness, but of mistaken kindness and ill-judged lenity. It is said that many new "dodges" are in vented in prison, and that what college is to the student the prison is to the thief.

The story of Aubrey Marston is continued in this number, and leaves the hero in a somewhat invidious position. He seems to be very unfit to cope with the schemers who surround him. The author of " Whitefriars," also proceeds with the tale of " Madeline Graham," in her usual graphic fashion, at considerable length. The attractions of the magazine are not, however, restricted to fiction, for we have several interesting papers founded on fact. Two fair French ladies of singular fortune, and celebrated attractions, are memorialised. "Our Lady of Thermidor," is the title of a paper which recounts the N , aried adventures of the beautiful Ma dame Tallien, to whom many a despairing captive owed his life in the dark days of the Reign of Terror. The fourth number of "Royal Favourites" tells the mournful story of Gabrielle d'Estrees, the fascinating inamorata of Henry the Fourth of France. Another article devoted to the fair sex is founded on Mr. Woodhead's pleasant volumes on Christina of Sweden. " English Journalism in France" is an interesting narrative of the difficul ties attending the Fourth Estate among our Con tinental neighbours. The lovers of horrors will be well supplied when they have perused " A Tiger Story," and " My American Wolfhound"—the former containing a warning to all amateur Van Amburghs, and the latter relat in g a dismal episode of a backwoodsman's experience. There are several short poems, of which " Faio Love," by Ning wood Clare, is the best. London Society. This magazine has a full right to devote itself to the hours of relaxation. It is always sprightly and entertaining, plentifully illustrated, and amusingly written. We must in loyalty first notice the pic torial embellishments, since the frontispiece gives us a very charming portrait of her Royal Highness the Princess of Wales in her bridal dress, and we find at the end of the number some graceful tran scripts of the triumphs of Danish embroidery which have adorned her trousseau. A faithful history of the events of Easter Monday on Brighton Downs is given with several illustrations—the author and artist bearing th. suspiciously spprop-lato n?.mco of Jack Easel, and F. Skill. " Society in a Flat" gives a very humorous account of the troubles of a hapless matron who rashly lodged herself and her three boys over the heads of testy bachelors, artists of unsettled habits, and companies whose secretaries and attendants shrunk into thin air, leaving the much enduring " third pair "to open the door to their errands. A fine portrait of Wm. Mulready, the eminent painter, is pre fixed to an in teresting sketch of his career. " A Word for the Dogs" has some very sensible observations on dog shows, which we should advise all intending exhi bitors to read before sending their canine friends on such an expedition. "About Flowers and their Fashions--Old and New," is a pleasant paper on a pleasant subject. The illustration by Noel Hum phreys is graceful enough to bring the pretty fender basket into immediate fashion. University boat races seem in high favour with the editor, for they reappear in no less than three forms.
