"The Ordeal for *es" S is continued, and introduces us to fresh faces and Fresh scenes. Esther Fleming's allegiance to Oliver Carew is decidedly wavering. We have a long story founded on the immemorial tradition concerning the Ist of April, and a good many lively sketches of pen and pencil 811 up the re mainder of the number. GOOD WORDS.—Mrs. Wood's story of 4 ' Oswald Cray " is growing more complex and more melan choly. An unfortunate suspicion rising from some chance words has come between Oswald and Sara Davenal, and the troubles seem springing up plicuti fully. Lady Oswald's fortune is left to Dr, Davenal, a circumstance which excites a good deal of surprise and comment. A. K. H. B. gives us an essay, "Concerning Needless Fears," the moral of which seems to be in the words of Tupper, that "Half our troubles are half our in• vention." Dr. Guthrie continues his "Out of H %nese," the Dean of Canterbury proceeds with his "Lett srs from Abroad," and Mr. Gesso gives us the fourth part of his "Year at the Shore," so that there is plenty of geed and varied reading.

'" d Difficulties of Stenography,'. and :Dr. Rogers, LL.D., discusses our Coil Fields, H o must consequently be a very captious Of, discontented mortal who cannot find something to attract and interest him in such a table of contents. THE MUSICAL MONTHLY.—The number for April is, of course, well supplied with articles touching the approaching festival at StratrJrdA upon-Avon. The' presentation piece for the pianoforte is entitled "A Shaksp:rian Fantasia," in which the well known airs sung by Ariel in "The Tempest" are intro duced. The introduction is fall and telling, but the airs have been rather ineffectively handled. There is a thinness about the adaptation, and a great want of dash and brilliancy 'in the variations. Although it will not supersede the pieces on the same air& already published, it will find 'favour in , the eyes of .thoPA whd are looking out for aneasy piece suitable for the at,.. proaching e festivlty. The magazine is just the sort of thing wanted by the pudic; but some sucb.pieces as those played by Madame Goddard, Madame Oury, dee, must be given to make it popular with the lovers of music. • LE FOLLET.—This month's number of this ele. gent little publication is unusually attractive. . The plates are brilliant, and if the fashions here set forth are followed, the dresses of the ladies this ' season will be truly Splendid. There is here the ' usual intelligence communicated with respect to the latest novelties, the Most striking changes, &et., in cos tume; besideti which, a variety of high amusing reading is met with in this periodical, and also a description of the operas, theatres, &c., so that for a fashionable reader nothing is left out of the repertoire of its contents that can possibly PRICE ..4d. STAMPED.....Sd. The critic enters very fully into the distinctive features of Mr Thackeray's style, and the merits of his various works. He is far from bestowing unqualified approval or admiration on all, and his article is, indeed, one of the most judicious which has appeared since Thackeray's death. Nevertheless he accords, as all must do, high:praise to him as one who will always retain a foremost place among our literary chieftains. Mr. Gardiner's " History of James I." is discussed, and the historian appears to have formed no favourable opinion of our Scottish king. "His body, his mind, and his heart appear alike to have been wanting in that central force by which the human framo and the human intellest are at the same time invigorated and controlled." "French Life" is the title of a very pleasant and lively paper, which introduces us into the privacy of a Parisian apparte2nent, and tells us little secrets about the domestics arrangements which invest a gay French establishment with an air of do incstie comfort. " Our Private Play" is the narrative of the wttndere worked by some private theatricals. The sr,atial virtues and qualifications of our matter-of-fact nineteenth century are treated of, and a comparison insti tuted with its predecessors—no very original subject. " A Campaigner at Home" is worth reading, and " The Story of Two Wives" tells a not impossible social tragedy. The list at tide discusses a question which comes very forcibly home to most of us—" Row may a Peace Income Tax be Supplanted ?" • ST. JAMES'S.—`' The Min in Chains" continues to be the most. prominent feature in this mtgazice, and chiefly devotes itself in this instalment to the fortunes of Silvester Langdale. J. Seoffern con tributes a paper on " V- , mpyres." reminding us of some of the hernbie weird sl3w•rs.i'ion4 the used to be current on the subject. We have also an interesting aceount of the "Silver Mines of Freiberg in Sexony," and the first part of a new version ot the old romance, whoa hero and heroine are the dreaming poet and the beautiful Scottish Queen, a nen alive in this instance penned more in accordance with the views ot Miss Strickland than of Mr. Froude. ‘ Bertie Bray " is continued in the regular novelist fashion, and neither brother nor sister are con ducting themselves in the most honourable fashion. It is a story of London fashionable life, heartless beauties and their devoted admirers, old husbands and young wives, charming toilettes and sour elderly maidens, and consequently will find plenty of readers and admirers. " Lascelles Wraxall" initiates us into the mysteries that lie hidden beneath the cork of a champagne bottle, and Lieut. Warneford draws a vivid picture of the horrors of being " Abandoned at Sea." There is a very amusing little sketch entitled d Our Mys terious Subscriber," which narrates how the writer, a young', litterateur, was raised to the seventh heaven of delight by an appointment to the editorial stuff of the Puddleton Gazette. On arriving at the scene of his labours he made the acquaintance of the owner and projector of the paper—a new journal that was to take the world by storm. On the eve of its first ap pearance, however, the printers made an inopportune de mand for candles, the grocer refused an extension of credit, the new-comer had 3id. in his pocket, and the proprietor of the Puddleton Gazette not a sou, From this dilemma they were happily rescued by the advent of their first subscriber, who paid his quarter's subscription in advance. Such good luck does not, we fear, often fall to the lot of mortals. LE CORRESPONDANT, Mars 1864. Ch. Douniol. —A more than ordinarily attractive number of Le Correspondant has here made its appearance. Upon the opening paper we took occasion yesterday to comment in our leading columns —meaning the remarkable paper by the Cte. de Falloux (de l'Acad. Fr.) entitled " Introduction aux lettres de P. Laoor daire," these letters representing one half of the correspondence between Madame Swetchin and the great Dominican. Besides this—Rio descants here (upon the eve of the tercentenary) upon " La Religion de Shakspere"—Leon Lagrange has a most appropriate criticism upon the works and the career of the French Rubens Eugene Delacroix— and, at the tail of several other excellent contributions, per haps the most remarkable of these being the one by the Abbe Meignan, upon another phase of La Crise Religieuse —Leon Lavedan rapidly, with a pencil of caustic, sketches down the priucipal events of the month, burning perhaps he most fiercely of all into his tablets the, now notorious .ncident about the member for Halifax. be missed. CASSELL'SPUBLICATIONs.—The different monthly parts of the works now publishing by Messrr Casson, Petter, and Galpin are here again before us, and bear unmistakable evidence of the energy and enter prise of the firm. " The Illustrated Shakspere" will, when completed, form a splendid volume, both from the variety and excellence of the illustrations and the suprt riority of its paper and letterpress. " Pilgrims Progress" is another commendable production, and our dear old friend "Robinson Crusoe" is still being submitted to the public in a manner hitherto =attempted. " The Illustrated History of England," "The Popular Educator," 'The History of England," and "Popular Natural History" are all worthy of high commendation. THE BOY'S MONTHLY MAGAZINE contains a variety of light reading, which will be found both highly entertaining and instructive. THE BOY'S OWN MAGAZINE this month is brim full of facts, fiction, history, and adventure. THE ENGLISHWOMAN'S DOMESTIC MAGAZINE abounds with useful and entertaining articles. It is one of the cheapest and best magazines published. THE QUARTERLY BRITISH POSTAL GUIDE has just been published by command of the Postmaster Gencrul, Naval and Military Intelligence THE NAVY. Arrangements ,have been for some time in progress at Chatham dockyard 'for the adoption of the new system of accounts connected with the building of new vessels, the repairs of those requiring "conversion " or altoration, sand the charge for labour in each department, the whole of which have been arranged under the immediate supc,in tendence of Mr. Stansfeld, M.P., one of the Lords of the Admiralty. Under the direetion of a curepetent stall of cleiks and assistants from the Storekeeper-Giiitars de p wine:A a complete stock-taking of the whole of the mate riel, of every kind, in Chatham Dockyard will be commenced this morning, and periodical returns afterwards forwarded to the Admiralty. Under the auspices of Mr. Sta.nsield, and mainly, if not certainly, through his cr. , 2e,ions, the doe': yard accounts will from April 1 be placed on a basis which will enable them to be compared favourably with the accounts of the best private shipbuilding establishments in the country. In future the percentage charges for the different descriptions of work will be eliminated, and all labour not employed on manufacturing operations will be charged, pro rata, on the ships. It is, however, in the im portant item.of labour, which has hitherto defied all the attempts made to properly apportion the charges under that head, that the greatest alterations will be made at Chatham. This will be effected by what are termed labour charts, in which the fullest explanation will be periodically given, of the nsture, variety, and amount of labour employed on any given vessel, or other undertaking, its relative and actual cost. These labour charts will be laid before the House of Commons, which will thus have the opportunity of ascer taining the amount expended for labour, as attested by the I accounts. MAcmILL&N.—Tae story of " The Hillyars and 2 Burtons" proceeds with undiniinished - interest, Ld troubles seem to be thickening round. most of the act i ors n it. Go - .lr4e Hillyar and G„rty arrive in London, and nuke their appeal'ance at his father's country seat, but although Gerty's first introduc tion, to the sturdy old baronet is a gre at success, the bloom has begun to fade off the poor silly little beauty's simple life, and her influence over her gloomy, passionate husband is already waning. Too Burtons are becoming more and more mixed up with the Mayers, and the mysterious trouble hanging over Reuben grows darker and nearer. " Our Sleep and Dreams" is a pleasantly written essay on a very old subject of debate and discussion. The writer cites some instances in which t4se world of dreams has exer cised a beneficial influence in the world of realities. " ror tini is said to have composed his Davii's Sonata from the: inspiration of a dream in which the devil appeared to him and challenged him to a trial of skill on his own fiddle. Coleridge declares that he composed his splendid poetical fragment of liable Kenn when asleep. Condorcet relates that more than once having retired to bed, jaded with intricate Calculations which he had left unfinished, he completed them in his dreams. Franklin states that ha sometimes saw the bearing of political events more clearly during sleep than he had done when awake. Dr. Gregory mentions that thoughts sometimes occurred to him in dreams which were so good that he used them in his college lectures. Sir Benjamin Brodie tells us of a friend who had more than once invented en apparatus for an experiment he wished to make in a dream, and of another who had solved mathematical problems when asleep which had based him when awake." The usual " Letter from Competition Wallah" deals this month with a very difficult and momentous topic—Christianity in India. The writer faces the question boldly, and after confessing the unsatisfactory state of the religion of the liindoos, he pro ceeds to inquire why it is that, " with all the advantages of civilisation and domination, we have hitherto succeeded in converting to our creed only one in 10,000 of the subject people." The reasons he gives are so numerous and so formidable that the most sanguine missionary might well droop discouraged ; but there are good influences at work as well as bad, and we may trust that the acknowledged declension of the old Rindoo worship before the light of knowledge and civilisation may be only the forerunner of the substitution of a purer faith. " Two Months in Rome," and " A Gossip Over My Portfolio," are both worth read ing ; but many readers will tarn with more interest to the reprint of some correspondence between Coleridge and William Godwin, in which the post gives full vent to his metaphysical speculations in addressing a friend of such congenial tastes and abilities. TEMPLE BAR.—" The Doctor's Wife" is con tinued at some length, and in this instalment mat tera progress most unfavourably as regards the future welfare and peace of the young couple. The story is most naturally told, and this constitutes its chief attraction, for the hero and heroine are alike provok ing in their opposite extremes—lsabel with her absurd notions of romance, and George with his very hum-drum ideas, Such characters do, however, constantly consort and attempt to fight the battle of life together. The result is one of those disastrous failures which furnish the stage with themes for tragedy, and bestow endless opportunities for the novelist to expatiate upon. "The Streets of the World" this time describes Berlin, Unter-den-linden. The sketch is not a very flattering one. " Rest and be Thank ful" are spirited verses. "Maid V. Mistress" is an article that is well worthy of perusal. It traces the origin of the fault which militates against the well-doing of so many servant maids to their faulty bringing up at home, where their hard working, half-starved mothers sacrifice every thing to turn out their daughters "smart." Much may be gathered from this sketch of the troubles that besot domes ' tic life in the shape of saucy and incompetent assistants. "Broken to Harness" is continued in the same animated manner as before. " The Ball-season in Paris" is an en tertaining little sketch of the doings in that gay capital. The number of balls that take place, the numerous visitors who throng to the festivities, and the amount which all this quietly costs, are set down for those who seek such infor mation to con by rote, and they will doubtless be greatly edified by the astonishing calculations and astounding re llttstpraatritonosf toitsthaitstz velations that aro made. L ONDON SOCIETY T gzzine still• form a considerable he i tions. They aro numerous and effective, and oft en display both taste and talent. A new series of papers commences in this number, and with promise of interest. It is called "The London Opera Direetors, ,, and proposes to give As anecdotic memoirs of the most re markable men who have been connected with operatic management, together with recollections of the chief singers and composers who flourished during their reigns. This first part chronicles the management. fortunes, and raider• tunes of no less a personage than Handel, the results of whose operatic career are thus summed up :- 0 During his unfortunate struggle against Porpora and the world of fashion he had lost his health, he had lost all the money he had made during 20 years of labour, and he had to start anew, at the age of 56, having nothing left but his glorious reputation." "The Merchant Princes of England" are continued in due course, and we have the story of the famous Sir Richard Whittington. Lovers of the antique will be gratified to learn that the biographer is clearly of opinion that a cat was in some way connected with the The screw steam gunvessel Ranger, 5, Commander Gor don, at Plymouth, bound for the West Coast of Africa, got up steam on Wednesday, but continued in the Sound up to yesterday afternoon. The screw steamship Nile, 78, flag of Rear-Admiral Sir Alex. Milne, 1i.C.8„ is hourly expected at Plymouth. The screw steamship Royal George, 78, went outside Plymouth breakwater yesterday to try her engines and machinery, under the inspection of Capt. ElTtonstone, of the Steam Reserve. To-day she will be commissioned and manned by the officers and crew of the Ajax. The United States gunvessel Kearsage yesterday dis. charged her powder-5 tons—at the powder-buoy off Wool wich Arsenal, in charge of the shipping agent, and pro ceeded to the Victoria docks, to make good certain damages sustained during the late gale in the channel. She will be thoroughly overhauled, will be supplied with a new top mast and have her bottom cleaned. She is manned at all quarters with a most formidable armament of six powerful 11-inch guns, weighing 6 tons, to carry a 2001 b shot each, so as to maintain a steady fire from every part of the ship. The Kearsage is last from Dover, where she was an object of much attraction, and was visited by a large number of persons. Mr. Tomlin, one of the Admiralty clerks, who has been engaged during the past 17 years in the office of the Com modore Superintendent of the Doo k y ard at Woolwich, is ordered to enter on the duties o f the Auditor's office this morning, in order to check the e x p enditure of the establish. ment, and to carry out a mo r e orderl y return of accounts for the inspection of the Adm iralt y Board.

MANCHESTER.—A meeting of the Refo rm Confer ence Committee was held at Newell's Buildin g s, on Tues. s d e so a im y d m e t v hi e tet n es i e n b g ea , ca M t do r it . o R t hm o s b e e l: se r t e t ae C t di o : o pg p v r t : p tsi r ot e n e s i enla rgedii r n o g r a. The Chairman Reforna Committee at lieeds. It was highly desirable that the Reform Committee should be of a mixed character, partly working men, and partly middle class men, as the practical object of the forthcoming conference would be to adopt measures that would meet with the cordial support of both these classes. Experience had shown that the joint action of both parties was essential to the perma nent success of any useful reform mov4iment. The local committee should, therefore, adopt thoso steps that would secure the largest and fairest representation possible, at the Conference. Mr. Hickes, one of the Leeds deputation, said there had been two important re form conferences, one in Leeds and ono in London—and at the latter gathering it was decided that the next meeting should be held in Manchester, and the executive committee of that conference were appointed to convene the Manches ter meeting at the earliest possible period. Owing to the prevailing distress it was deemed advisable to postpone the conference till the present spring. The executive commit tee relied on the support of the Lancashire reformers to render the Manchester demonstration worthy of the great question of Parliamentary reform. THE SHAKSPERE COMMEMORATION. --A deputa• tion from the Working Men's Committee in connec tion with this Commemoration waited upon the Right Hon. Mr. Cowper yesterday with a memorial praying the per mission of the Government for the working classes to as• seruble in Hyde-park on the afternoon of Saturday, the 23d April, and thence to proceed in procession to the Green park to plant an oak on the proposed site of the Shakspere Monument in the latter park. Mr. Cowper, in reply, said he could hold out no hope to the deputation that the prayer of the memorial would be granted. The parks were places for public recreation, and not for large assemblages or pro cessions of people. He saw no special reason why the rule with regard to the parks should be relaxed on the present occasion, The deputation then retired, MAGAZINE-DAY. BLACKWOOD.—" Cornelius O'Dowd upon Men and Women, and Other Things in General," is now ' in its third part, and presents some very entertain ing sketches. There is plenty of diversity in these details, and the leader turns from the freaks of a Garibaldian envoy to discuss the subject of the " Organ Nuisance." For this a most original remedy is suggested. The paper on the "Chevalier d'lndustrie of Our Day " is a very smart sketch, and no one who reads of his impudent career but will con cur in the remark here made, that the fact of such a man flourishing for twenty years is a disgrace to the police of Europe. These social swindlers are a deplorable set, and the mischief they effeet is incalculable. The manner in which this adroit shuffler was onoe entrapped is a very telling anecdote, and really reads like the denouement of some skilful plot, There is much truth in the explanation given ce the suocesses of such men that no one is willing . to confess to having been their dupes, and thus the im punity with which they often got out of scrapes and avoid the consequences of their exploits. " Mr. Knight's Ite miniscences" is the subject of en article that may prove of interest to some. It refers to the manners and customs of bygone days, and there is sufficient originality introduced into the criticism to save it from becoming a dull or tame reflection of the book discuseA. The description of the modern omnibus is most ludicrous, and the minor miseries attending its transit are familiar to all who have been among the luckless passengers in such vehicles. There is much to attract notice in this epitome of a remarkable work, and whether it recalls old times or presents new pictures of their predecessors to the reader, it will alike prove agreeable and entertaining. "Tony Butler" is continued, and some rather striking incidents are narrated. Mrs. Trafford does not act wisely in her haste to mend matters, and altogether the sparring that takes place about Maitland is not very creditable. Yet it may not be less true in its delineation, for many may have noticed how often the chance arrival of an important individual disturbs the peace of a little commu nity and frightens them out of all propriety. Tony does net improve as a hero, he is captious and uncertain, and shows how much he needs the refining influence of the world to tone down his abruptness and temper his hot haste and vehement demeanour. " Our Neutrality" is the political article of the number, and sketches in a masterly manner the chief events and most notable incidents attending the momentous, but discreditable epoch in our annals that records the doings of our Govern ment with the belligerent States of America. Things im press one more forcibly when they are put down in order some little time after their occurrence, and certainly the resume of events here chronicled must disenchant all but the inveterate partisans of the Government. The case is very forcibly put, when it is asked if "our dignity is main tained by the spectacle of the Government dragging the Alexandra case from tribunal to tribunal, with Mr. Adams clamouring at their heels, and Mr. Seward threatening war." It is quite refreshing, amid the infatuated remarks made by prejudiced people, to meet with so outspoken an advocate of the rights of nations as the writer of this article, and one so impressed with the importance of maintaining inviolate the honour and interests of England. " Annie and her Master" is a peculiar sketch that will be sure to find its admirers. The quaint simplicity of the heroine is a pleasing contrast to the hackneyed class of portraitures one is constantly meeting with, and the whole of the tale is given to us with an animation of manner and a pathos of description that impart a reality and interest to the narra tive. " A Letter from Schleswig-Holstein" concludes the number, furnishing a graphic account of the proceedings that have taken place there, and, almost as a matter of course, winding up with a diatribe against the policy of England. This is the neverfailing conclusion at which a ll arrive, in fact, who speculate upon the future, or review the position of the present, or take e a retrospective glance at the incidents of the past. DUBLIN.—There is the second part of " Unforta. nate Doctor Dodd" in this number. It sketches the closing incidents of his sad career with much ear nestness and expression, and the reader will be able to form a more correct estimate of the motives which led to the commission of the fatal deed of forgery than doubtless he has ever done before. Certainly, tho account of this man's fall is a warning to those who indulge in reckless extravagance, and still more to those who con vert means to an end, and attempt to justify to themselves the perpetration of acts which ought to be known on the in stant to offend the laws of justice. The account of the great excitement which this affair awakened in London is describ ed in a very impressive manner, and it is not likely that the "tragic story of Doctor Dodd" will find many parallels in the annals of crime. " Yaxley and its Neighbourhood" is continued at some length. In this instalment the story reaches a crisis of considerable importancegood old l a dy dies suddenly, the will is lost, and the hapless little Lizette is an outcast and a wanderer on the face of the world. Various other complications arise, which promise to make the tale very momentous as it proceeds on its course. This is a carefully-defined and well-illustrated story, so far as it goes. "Felon Biography" is the title of a n article that is interesting-, It refers to the memoirs of Jana Cameron (reviewed several months since in The Sun), an d this su ggestive subject is suitably treated in the exposition hero met with. Nothing is stronger and sadder in the whole course of life studies than to dwell on the careers of these Children of Night. The accou nt of the girl c ommitting her first robbery to get a penny to go to a dance meeting is most peculiar, but the stamp of truth is impressed upon all that is here recorded, and we feel that we have before 119 no theatrical represen tation of bravoes or drawig-room similitude of manners, but real characters, who are naturally drawn, as the sad outline of their blighted lives is related. "Wicked Cap tain IValshawe, of Wailing" is a strange sketch that will suit the lovers of the horrible, and is certainly told with spirit and ingenuity. "Earlier Typo of the Sensational Novel" is a carefully written paper that presents us with some strange views of past literature. " Phases of Life in Federal America" is an article that will attract at the present time, when everything of a transatlantic character has become so important. It brings before us many notice able traits of society in the States referred to. FRASER.—A lengthened article on "Rand h er Dependencies" opens this number, but the reader, who is not inclined to linger over a some what dry subject, will quickly turn the pages to a ca reful and readable essay on the writings of the popular novelist whom English literature has lately lost. 9,254,400 637,995 £21,213,318 I
