It is entirely devoted to desti tution in its most pitiable form—viz., that which is accom panied by sickness and disease, and is now of sufficient magnitude that, with adequate support, it may be rendered capable of admitting, into its wards a very large proportion of the casual sick of this great metropolis. It requires but the funds in order to have 500 beds available for the reception of these the most wretched of our fellow-creatures. Moreover, it gratuitously affords medical advice and medicine to more, on the average, than 3,000 out-patients a week. The Weekly Board feel it their imperative duty to make an EARNEST APPEAL to the public for continued suppOrt, to enable them to admit and relieve the distressing cases that daily present themselves.

The Committee desire to express their grateful sense of the generous support which they have received from the British public during the past few years, a support which has enabled them to establish their present magnificent fleet of 123 Lifeboats on the shores of the United Kingdom Deeply sensib'e, however, of the great responsibility that rests on them to maintain their fleet in a thoroughly efficient state, and its Crews practised in the management of their boats, which can only be effected by a large and permanent annual income, they earnestly appeal to all classes of their countrymen to aid them in upholding and perpetuating, so great and truly national a work.

The Federals are massing troops upon Morris Island for another attack on Fort Wagner. Three monitors and mortar-boats kept up a constant fire on Fort Wagner, but did little damage. The Charleston papers assert that the city will be defended street by street. The Southern papers report severe fighting to have taken place at Jackson from the 10th to the 16th inst. Jackson is much damaged by the Fede ral shells, which were continually thrown into the town. The Federal loss in killed amounts to 400 men, including General Osterhaus.

Notice has been given to the Confederate Govern ment that if the two Federal of f icers selected in Richmond are executed, Lee and 11 , inder will be executed in retaliation. The New York Herald asserts that the conscrip tion will be enforced, not to put down the rebellion, but to meet the threats of England, and the Govern ment is determined no longer to suffer privateers to be fitted out in that country. At the request of the French Consul the collec tor at San Francisco has refused to permit blasting power to be shipped to Acapulco. The steamer Kate has been destroyed off mington. The Hansa, City of London, and Africa have arrived out. _ _ NEW YORK, JULY 21 (Evening).

"We attacked part of the enemy's forces on James Island this morning, and drove them to the protection of their gunboats in the Stono, with a small loss on both sides.

It i s suppose d that the attack will be renewed to-morrow. "July 15. "There was little change in the conditi on o f affairs yesterday. Three of the enemy's wooden gunboats kept up a slow shelling of Battery Wag ner all the afternoon, which was slowly replied to by our guns at the battery and also at Fort Sumter. It was reported in the city last evening that the Yankees had been shelled from their position on . Black's Island by a battery of ours near Secession vine, but of this we have no confirmation up to the time of our going to press. Four new vessels, supposed to be mortarbeats, had joined the enemy's fleet yesterday. Governor Bonham has called for 3,000 negro labourers to work on the forifications." President Davis had issued the following pro clamation " Whereas, it is provided by an Act of Congress, entitled " An Act to further provide for the Public Defence," approved. the 16th day of April 1862, and by another Act of Congress, appr ove d t h e 27 t h of September, 1862, entitled `An Act to amend an act to provide further for the Public Defence,' approved 16th of April, 1862, that the Presi dent be authorised to call out and place in the military service of the Confederate States for three years, unless the war should have been sooner ended, all white men who are residents of the Con federate States between the ages of 18 and 45 years at the time the call may be made, and who are not at such time legally exempted from military ser vice, or such part thereof as in his judgment may be necessary to the public defence. " And whereas, in my judgment, the necessities of the public defence require that every man capa ble of bearing arms between the ages aforesaid should now be called out to do his duty in the de fence of his country, and in driving back the inva ders now within the limits of the Confederacy. " New, therefore, I, Jefferson Davis, President of the Confederate States of America, do, by virtue of the powers vested in me as aforesaid, call out and place in the military service of the Confe derate States all white men residents of said States between the ages of 18 and 45 years not legally exempted from military service ; and I do hereby order and direct that all persons subject to this call and not now in the military se rvice do, upon being enrolled, forthwith repair to the conscript camps established in the respective States of which they may be residents, under pain of being held and punished as deserters in the event of their failure to obey this call, as provided in said laws. "And I do further order and direct that the en rolling officers of the several States proceed at once to enrol all persons embraced within the terms of this proclamation, and not heretofore enrolled. " And I do further order that it shall be lawful for any person embraced within this call to volun teer for service before enrolment, and that persons so volunteering be allowed to select the arm of ser vice and the company which they desire to join, provided such company be deficient in the full num ber of men allowed by law for its organisation. " Given under my hand and the seal of the Confe derate States of America, at the city of Richmond, this 15th day of July, in the year of our Lord 1863. JEFFERSON DAVIS. " By the President.—J. P. BENJAMIN, "Secretary of State." From Tennessee we have the following : " Memphis, Tennessee, July 17. " Gen, Hurlbut's scouts arrived at Corinth to-day from Decatur and Jacksonville. They report that Bragg was retreating precipitately into Georgia, followed by Rosencran's forces. Rosencran's ad vance was reported to be at Rome, Georgia. The scouts report that Bragg was endeavouring to make a junction with Johnstone, and that deser tions from his army were numerous." The Confederates under Morgan were reported to have been defeated in an attempt to cross the Ohio on the 17th. He was last reported to be moving on Gallipolis. From the Mississippi Department we have the following intelligence :.'•••• Major-General Hurlbut telegraphs from Mem phis, July 17, to the War Department as follows: ' The enemy's cava'ry was sharply punished at Jackson, Tennessee, by Col. Hatch, on the 13th. Their loss was 200 in killed, wounded, and priso ners, 400 conscripts released, and 250 horses taken, with more than that number of arms." JACKSON, July 10. Gen. Johnstone this morning issued to the troops the following battle order, which was read along the line amid deafening shouts from the soldiery : " Headquarters on the field, July 9. " Fellow Soldiers—An insolent foe, flushed with the hope by his recent success at Vicksburg, con fronts you, threatening the people, whose homes , and liberty you are here to protect, with plunder and conquest. Their guns may even now be heard as they advance. The enemy it is at once the duty and the mission of you brave men to chastise and expel from the soil of the Mississippi. The com manding general confidently relies on you to sustain his pledge, which he makes in advance, and he Will be with you in the good work even unto the end. The vice of stragglin g he begs you to shun and frown on. If n eeds be, it will be checked by the most sum- mary remedies. The telegraph has announced a glorious victory over the foe, won by your noble com rades of the Virginian army on Federal soil; may he not with redoubled bopes,count on you,while defend ing your firesides and household gods, to emulate the proud example of your brothers in the east ? The country expects in this the great crisis of its destiny that every man will do his duty." General Johnstone orders all pillagers to be shot. The guard will shoot them Wierever found. " Jackson, July 12. . _ " The conduct of Cobb's (Kentucky) battery and the Washington Artillery is spoken of highly by the commanding-general in the affair this morning, also Stovall's Florida brigade. The banners cap tured are those of the 28th, 41st, and 53d Illinois Regiments. General Breckinridge sent an infir , mart' corps to bring off the enemy's wounded ; their sharpshooters fired on them. Breckenridge ordered the corps to the rear. Their wounded and dead are still lying in front of our works. The enemy's loss in the charge of Sunday was fully 1,000. " July 13. "It rained hard last night. It is cloudy this morning, and there has been but little firing on either side. The enemy has six batteries in posi tion, plainly visible from the State-house. Our troops are much elated since the success of yester day. Nothing of importance has transpired to-day. The status is unchanged, The Vicksburg prisoners will be at Brandon to-morrow. " July 14 (via Mobile, July 15). " General Johnstone sent a flag of truce to-day to General Grant, asking permission to bury the Yankee dead in front of our works. Grant asked permission to send assistance, in order to recognise the dead, which was refused. COMMERCIAL INTELLIGENCE. NEW YORK, July 21 (Evening). Money easy. Gold 26 per cent. premium. Stocks inactive. New York Centrals 120, Illinoistlo7q, Erie 98i, 6 per Cent. United States Bonds 105-1. (By Telegraph to Halifax.) NEW YORK, July 22 (Morning). The battle has been renewed at Charleston by the land and naval forces, and was progressing on the 17th. General Janman (?) has been removed for making a premature attack on Jackson, in which he was re pulsed with the loss of 300 men. General Sherman continues to besiege Jackso n , which Johnston defends with 30,000 men: The Federals at Milliken's Bend and Lake Pro vidence are suffering from sickness. The Federals occupied Yftzoo City on the 13th, capturing 250 prisoners. The Confederates have burned numerous steamers up the Yazoo. A fleet of Federal transports has ascended the Red River. It is officially announced that if the evidence of aliens claiming exemption is not satisfactory to the draught commissioners, they will refer the case to the State Department for decision, and will suspend action until it decides the question. (Latest by telegraph to Halifax.) NEW YORK, July 23 (Evening). The New York Herald urges the Government to grant the Confederates all their rights under the constitution, and at once proclaim war against France and England, General Grant reports from Vicksburg on the 18th that Johnston evacuated Jackson on the night of the 16th. He retreated eastward. Gen. Sherman says that most of Johnston's army must perish from heat, lack of water, and general discouragement. He continues—" The army paroled have, to a great extent, deserted, and are scattered over the country, I sent General Heron to Yazoo city. Five guns, many stores, and 300 `prisoners were captured. Gen. Ransom was sent to Natchez to stop the crossing of cattle for the eastern army. Ransom captured a number of prisoners and 5,000 Texan cattle. In Louisiana more prisoners and a number of teams loaded with ammunition were taken. Over two million rounds of ammunition were brought back with the captured teams to Natchez." Unofficial accounts state that a portion of Gen. Sherman's army has occupied Jackson, and the re maicder has returned to Vicksburg. Gen. Lee, who held a position between Martins burg and Winchester, moved rapidly this morning in the direction of Winchester. Gen. Ewell, who had moved in the direction of Cumberland, also fell back and followed Lee. The correspondent of the New York Tribune says that Gen. Lea no longer presents the aspect of pre cipitate retreat, but assumes a bold and even threat ening attitude. There is an increased body of Confederate cavalry near Harper's Ferry, supported by two regiments of infantry. Gen. Meade's army is 35 miles south of Berlin ; the Shenandoah River and the Blue Ridge between Lee's and Meade's armies. General Kelly, who was superintending the con• struction of the Baltimore and Ohio railroad, was driven back by the Confederates 15 miles from North Mountain to Hancock. The encounter of Gregg's cavalry with the Confederates is said to have been a Federal disaster. It is reported from Washington that the object of gunboats ascending James River was not t o at tack Fort Darling. Gen.M th o e rg Ol a lo n i ,w ß it i h ve s r o int Virginia.

A subscription has been opened for the relief of coloured people. The New York municipality has resolved upon MR, VALLANDIGHAM'S ADDRESS. The following address from Mr. Vallandigham to ;he people of Ohio was received by the last mail : "NIAGARA FALLS, CANADA WEST, July 15, " Arrested and confined for three weeks in the United States, a prisoner of State; banished thence to the Confede rate States, and there held as an alien enemy and prisoner of war, though on parole ; fairly and honourably dealt with and given leave to depart, an act possible only by running the blockade at the hazard of being fired upon by ships fly ing the flag of my own country, I found myself first a free man when on British soil. And to-day, under protection of the British flag, I am here to enjoy and in part to exercise the privileges and rights which usurpers insolently deny me at home. The shallow contrivance of the weak despots at Washington and their advisers has been defeated. Nay, it has been turned against them ; and I, who for two years was maligned as in secret league with the Confederates, having refused when in their midst, under circumstances the most favourable, either to identify myself with their cause or even so much as to remain, preferring rather exile in a foieign land, return now with allegiance to my own State and Government, unbroken in word, thought, or deed, and with every declaration and pledge to you while at home, and before I was stolen away, made good in spirit and to the very letter. Six weeks ago, when just going into banish ment, because an audacious but most cowardly despotism caused it, I addressed you as a fellow-citizen. To-day, and from the very place then selected by me, but after wearisome and most perilous journeyings for more than 4,000 miles by land and upon the sea, still in exile, though almost in sight of my native State, I greet you as your representative. Grateful certainly I am for the confidence in my integrity and patriotism implied by the unanimous nomination as candidate for Governor of Ohio which you gave me while I was yet in the Confederate States. It was not misplaced ; it shall never be abused. But this is the last of all considera tions in times like these. I ask no personal sympathy for the personal wrong. No; it is the cause of constitutional liberty and private right, cruelly outraged beyond example in a free country, by the President and his servants, which gives public significancy to the action of your convention. Yours was, indeed, an act of justice to a citizen who for his devotion to the rights of the States and the liberties of the people had been marked for destruction by the hand of arbitrary power. But it was much more. It was an example of courage worthy of the heroic ages of the world ; and it was a spectacle and a rebuke to the usurping tyrants who, having broken up the Union, would now strike down the Constitu tion, subvert your present Government and establish a for mal and proclaimed despotism in its stead. You are the restorers and defenders of constitutional liberty, and by that proud title history will salute you. I congratulate you upon your nominations. They whom you have placed upon the ticket with me are gentlemen of character, ability, integrity, and tried fidelity to the Constitution, the Union, and to Liberty. Their moral and political courage—a quality always rare, and now the most valuable of public virtues— is beyond question. Every way all these were nominations fit to be made. And even jealousy, lam sure, will now be hushed, if I especially rejoice with you in the nomination of Mr. Pugh as your candidate for lieutenant-governor and President of the Senate. A scholar and a gentleman, a soldier in a foreign war, and always a patriot ; eminent as a lawyer, and distinguished as an orator and a statesman, I hail his acceptance as an omen of the return of the better and more virtuous days of the Republic. I endorse your noble platform—elegant in style—admirable in sentiment. You present the true issue, and commit yourself to the great mission just now of the Democratic party—to restore and make sure first the rights and liberties declared yours by your Constitutions. It is vain to invite the States and people of the South to return to a Union without a Consti tution, and dishonoured and polluted by repeated and most aggravated exactions of tyrannic power. It is base in your selves and treasonable to your posterity to surrender these liberties and rights to the creatures whom your own breath created and can destroy. Shall there be free speech, a free press, peaceable assemblages of the people, and a free ballot any longer in Ohio ? Shall the people hereafter, as hitherto, have the right to discuss and condemn the principles and policy of the party—the Ministry—the men who for the time conduct the Government—to demand of their public servants a reckoning of their stewardship, and to place other men and another party in power at their supreme will and pleasure ? Shall order 38 or the Constitution be the supreme law of the land ? And shall the citizen any more be arrested by an armed soldiery at midnight, dragged from wife and child and home to a military prison ; thence to a mock military trial; thence condemned, and then banished as a felon for the exercise of his rights ? This is the issue, and nobly you have met it. It is the very question of free, popular go vernment itself. It is the whole question—upon the one side liberty, on the other despotism. The President, as the recognised head of his party, accepts the issue. Whatever he wills, that is law. Constitutions, State and Federal, are nothing ; acts of legislation nothing, the judiciary less than nothing. In time of war there is but one will supreme—his will but one law, military necessity, and he the sole judge. Military orders superesde the Constitution, and military commissions usurp the place of the ordinary courts ofjustice in the land. Nor are these mere idle claims. For two years and more, by arms, they have been enforced. It was the mission of the weak but presumptuous Burnside—a name infamous for ever in the ears of all lovers of constitutional liberty—to try the experiment in Ohio, aided by a Judge whom I name not, because he has brought foul dishonour upon the judiciary of my country. In your hands now, men of Ohio, is the final issue of the experiment. The party of the Administration have accepted it. By pledging support to the President, they have justified nis outrages upon liberty and the Constitution ; and whoever gives his vote to the candidates of that party commits himself to every act of violence and wrong on the part of the Administration which he upholds ; and thus, by the law of retaliation, 1 which is the law of might, would forfeit his own right to liberty, personal and political, whensoever other men and another party shall hold the power. Much more do the candidates themselves. Suffer them not, I entreat you, to evade the issue ; and by the judgment of the people:we will abide. And now, finally, let me ask, what is the pretext for and ii l i n : es ttebnrolostthhoernavetahmreyrarpienntarhgotv t i r l e a nl coef all the monstrous acts and claims of arbitrary power w h v ic u h t you have so nobly denounced ? 4 Military necessity.' necessity, if, indeed, all these be demanded by military ann is then, believe me, your liberties are gone, al!d a t t Y e r by perpetual.

At this juncture when the peace of Europe is trembling in the balance a retrospect of the negotiations which have been going on between the courts of Russia and the Western Powers will be read with interest. An account of the recent experiments at Shoe buryness is also worth re adin g , and there are papers on Military Science, Ancient and Modern, and Proposed Sub stitutes for Depot-Battalions, which, with the usual Naval and Military Intelligence complete the number. BENTLEY. _Bentley opens with a new story en titled, " Six Weeks at ilunsdon Manor," which promises entertainment for the lovers of stories of fashionable life. It is followed by an article pro , - pounding the startling query, " Was Man Contemporary with the Mammoth ?" which we leave to be studied and answered by the devotees of ethno lo gy and geology. Monkshood gives us the benefit of his reflections " By the sad sea waves," aided by the comments of the poets of all ages. A Crimean Officer continues his narrative of " The Invasion of the Crimea," to be followed, we are told, by a paper on the Battle of the Alma. We have a pleasant Nea politan sketch entitled, "Rossini and the Lazzarone," which tells us how the great composer befriended one of the joyous and lazy children of the sun in the gay city of the South. The mottoes and cognisances of the Prince and Princess are discussed and analysed in a paper which com mends itself to the study of all loyal subjects at this particular epoch. Frederick Marshall, who is becoming a recognised authority in all matters concerning our neighbours across the Channel, contributes a criticism on the French lan guage, in which he does full justice to the merits of that: sprightly and expressive tongue. " A Tragedy in Wax , work" tells us how an emperor was nearly poisoned by means of some ingeniously-prepared wax candles, and re covered from their effects to sacrifice his rescuer. Tho Editor's historical romance of "Cardinal Pole" is con tinued with many important occurrences. LONDON SOCIETY.—The " society" We meet with under this sparkling cover is generally of the gayest and pleasantest description. We have in the pre sent number the usual ample allowance of tales and social sketches interspersed with poems, romantic or other wise, and illustrated with plates that are generally far above mediocrity. The story of " The First Time I Saw Her" is continued with interest, and the reader as well as the heio gets a clue to Edith's secret, though the reason of her ex traordinary rudeness to the unfortunate intruder is still unexplained. "The Bachelor's Thermometer" is an amus ing sketch of the adventures of a gentleman who was the happy owner of an alarming walking-stick and a ferocious bulldog, and who made these questionable possessions a test of the sincerity of hie friends and acquaintances. "Country Cousins" points a moral for over-ambitious London young ladies, while " The English in Franco" continues to introduce a description of some of the principal continental routes, with a story of love at first sight. " Oxford Doings" gives an account of the Commemoration in jocular rhyme, and the Guards Ball supplies, as might have been expected, subjects for prose, verse, and pencil. There is also a paper called "Recollections of Almacks," which recalls the days of its early splendour, and an amus ing lamentation over the ingenuity of modern advertisers.

VERDI, THE VIOLENT—(as poor Albert Smith used to call him) in a bit of a Tiff.—Some talk has been occasioned by an incident which occurred at the Grand Opera during the rehearsal of Signor Verdi's " VApres," says the Reader. The maestro on one occasion thought he noticed that a part of the band was not doing justice to his work, and complained to M. Dietsch, the provisional con ductor. The answer of the latter not being satisfactory, Signor Verdi took his hat and left the place. In conse quence of this, a letter from the Minister informed M. Dietsch that he was ,4 at liberty to exercise the privilege of resigning," which he accordingly did. M. Hainl, conduc tor of the orchestra at Lyons, has been appointed in his place, and is said to b e g i v i ng satisfaction to both band and public. Signor Verdi has not appeared since at the opera, and has left Paris. A RACE BETWEEN A RAILWAY TRAIN AND A KINGFISIIER.—" I was travelling," writes Mr. Johns in his " Home Walks and Holiday Rambles," " on a part of the Great Western Railway which for some distance ran close to, and parallel with, a narrow stream. A kingfisher had been disturbed by the approach of the train, and made all haste to get out of the way. Any other bird so circum stanced would have turned back or have flown away from the line of rail. But this bird flies too swiftly to think it possible to bo overtaken, so it made right ahead, hoping to distance its pursuer. It has besides a great antipathy to flying over land if water be within reach ; it, therefore, habitually follows the course of the river, let it wind ever so much. On this occasion, not even the terror of the pnkg monster gaining ground on it was powerful enough to wake it deviate from its habit; so the bird and the train pulrstuhat their course side by side, and at a pace so nearly equarie for several seconds it was near the window of r.ny c r i L ir re f it ; seemingly plying its lovely wings all in vain,.but sheoting along its line of river as steadily as itseum etitor the engine was tearing along its line of pomp rane: rig er and railway soon diverged, and we parted with the bird."

BLACKWOOD.-" Chronicles of Carlingford" is continued, and the fortunes of the Perpetual Curate seem more doubtful than ever. His aunts have iaken the inconvenient idea of settling in the neigh bourhood, and thus the unhappy Mr. Wentworth is exposed to a very awkward espionage. Also there is a strange man lodging in the house with him, who is in some way con nected with Miss Wodehouso's mystery ; and altogether affairs are most unpropitious. Mr. Morgan has declared direct war, and announces his intention to manage Wharf side for himself, which of course very much militates against the curate's pet scheme. At the end of this instalment a very mysterious missive arrives from Gerald which sends Mr. Wentworth away on his travels very nearly distracted with his numerous contrarieties. " Captain Speke s 's Wel come" is a brief sketch of that gentleman's adventures. Allusion is made to the s eries of papers th a t appeared in this periodical a few years back, written by Captain Speke. It is stated that many eminent geographers hesitated to adopt the theory he then advanced, but subsequent circum stances have proved its correctness. Captain Speke has been engaged in his arduous wor k for nine years, and after all his difficulties and discouragements, it must be very gratifying to him to find success cro wn his efforts, and to receive the appreciation of learned men as the meed of his enterprise. It is observed here that "to England belongs the distinction of furnishing the most enterprising explorers of the world." Fears are expressed lest these active ex plorers will be tempted to return to their old ways and seek out fresh discoveries. " Meanwhile," it is said, "We are happy to be able to announce to our readers that Captain-Specie engaged in-e-pursnit.-wbicl4....thalLet scarcely less laborious than that from which be has just re turned, will, we trust, be a source of instruction and amuse ment to those who are still speculating upon the nature of his three years' experience in Central Africa. If, after having published his work, he can, as we sincerely hope he may, be induced to remain in the haunts of civilised men, he will still have earned a page for himself in history, as having solved the most interesting geographical problem of all ages." "In the Garden" is the title of some pleasing verses. The sentiments are healthy ones and naturally expressed. It would be well for many if they were more ready to adopt the maxim inculcated in these verses— If there be any cloud that glides Unseen above this quiet spot, Dear Lord, I thank Thee I know not What still in Thy good hand abides. But while the peaceful moments last, I snatch this hour, unstained by tears , Out of My stormy tale of years, To charm the future and the past. " The State and Prospects of the Church of England" brings the subject to a conclusion in this part. Theological readers will be interested in this elaborate analysis of the state of affairs, and doubtless will be edified by its perusal. "George Cruikshank" is an entertaining paper that treats of artistic life. It is ably written by one who is well acquainted with his subject. It is said that "there is a middle ground between Fleet-street and Fairyland, in which George Cruikshank has displayed extraordinary skill. "Indian Prosperity" is a readable article, on a sub ject that must attract general notice. It is said that people in this country will be slow to believe that our Indian empire is really prosperous, but such is an incontrovertible fact. " Translations of Horace" considers the merits of some rival authors, and pays a tribute to both for their ex cellent versions of the renowned Latin poet. " Cax toniana" is very interesting this month. It treats of some authors in whose writings knowledge of the world is emi nently displayed. It is truly stated that this peculiarity is totally distinct from "Knowledge of Mankind." Some of the reflections on this subject are admirably expressed, and the reader who likes to indulge in a sort of semi-philosophy concerning his fellow-men will be much entertained in the perusal of these animated pages. "A Visit to an Insur gent Camp" is an exciting sketch that transplants one in fancy to the stormy scenes of war, and brings forcibly be fore the mind the woes and wrongs of Poland. " Novels" is a criticising article that contains some just strictures on recent works of fiction. Due praise is awarded to the very clever story of " Elizab..th," which was published a short time since, and deserves all that is hero said of it. DUBLIN UNIVERSITY.—" Wylder's Hand" is con tinued, and is well sketched, but its incidents are of the startling character, and before long there is evidence of stormy scenes occurring, and dark clouds are looming in the distance. Miss Brandon is a mystical style of heroine, and Miss Lake a most unhappy one in her fitful vagaries and strange freaks. The men of the party are all preparing some sort of tragedy, with their fierce hatreds and ungovernable passions. "The Cross before the Name; or, Bella Donna" does not make much pro gress in this division. The chief incident is the fatal dis covery made by "lackey" of a questionable French novel that Jenny was reading, with a view to improving herself in foreign tongues for the benefit of her pupils. This act of felony has sealed his doom; already steps are slily taken to banish the culprit to a scholastic exile. "An Episode in English History," refers to the assassination of Mr. Porceval. It is interesting to turn from the jar and turmoil of the politics of the day, and refresh one's memory with events that seem already dim as we look back through the vista of time to the days of our earlier generation. A just censure is passed on the practice that invariably obtains, nowadays, of allowing such criminals as Felton and Bel lingham to escape the penalty of the law on the pretext of lunacy. An interesting account of Mr. Perceval's career is given in these pages, and the paper well repays perusal. " Hawise" is an extraordinary lyrical sketch that will suit those of romantic taste. " Reynard the Fox" is a very enter taining article that fully enters into the consideration of that world-renowned book. It is here mentioned as "the gospel of our credulous childhood, and the deliberate pas time of our later years." It is suggested that this marvellous production is the result of no sudden creation, but "an accretion of sulpine fables, the growth of thousands of years." It is stated that this work has engaged the first minds, pens, and brains of Europe in seeking to trace its origin, discover its author, find out its meaning, and versify and translate it into various forms, There is a great deal worthy of notice in this paper on " Reynard," and it is sure to be considered attractive by those who read it. " Summer Novels" is a discussion of recent works, written in a lively strain, with an occa sional dash of satire, that infuses pungency into the peru sal. "A Spring Day at Beyrout" brings distant scenes before us in a picturesque form. " Oldlrish Life Pictures of Pagan and Early Christian Times" will please the natives of the country to which this periodical belongs, and indeed others also, with their vivid descriptions.

Mr. Buckle was in the prime of his faculties and powers when he died, leav ing his ambition unaccomplished, his cherished object un fulfilled, Truly does the writer say, "Of all the melan choly things on earth, there seems none more melancholy than the death of genius, its work undone. Ward's picture of the Death of Chatterton' is typical of but too many such tragedies. It is not the poison-vial that kills, but the ardent training of the mind to do too much, to get too far, to climb too high." In his sketch of Mr. Buckle's character, the writer goes far to explain some of his peculiarities as an author. There was a lack of poetry, a want of aspiration, an absence of that warm, genial, perceptive sympathy which sketches— " Even to the borders of heaven's light and earth's humanity ;" which gives the true toleration, which m akes us see, with ''-r..
