The opening chapters of Mr. Albert Smith's "New Romance of the Marchioness of Brenvilliers," contain nothing remarkable ; indeed, there was an air of languor and indecision about them, as would lead the reader to infer that the subject was not one exactly to the author's taste. But the present chapters are a manifest improvement both in point of skill and vigour. The languor induced by the necessity, or the supposed necessity, of preliminary explanations has disappeared, and the story now moves rapidly for ward without pausing for an instant to indulge in superfluous digressions. The subject is certainly not one of the most attractive that could have been selected by an English novelist ; still, we think, that Mr. Smith's go o d t as t e an d ingenuity will induce him not to put too prominently forward the more !oath some peculiarities of this romance of the days of Louis the Fourteenth, and if so, he may, by the exercise of a little management, make it the most bustling and animated tale that has yet proceeded from his pen. Leech, the artist, has added not a little to the comic attractions of the chapters before us, by his whimsical illustration of " The Students enlightening Maitre Picard," who cuts a most deplorable figure, drawn up as he is to the top of the ceiling on a slight wooden bench, which threatens momentarily to give way, and add to the agreeabiLities of those, who sit be neath them. " Sapho and Phaon" is one of those numerous rhymed legions with which the press has lately teemed, in imitation of Tom ingoldsby. It is r:_ceedingly long, and ;we should be doing the author no ordinary injustice if were to say there was any thing brilliant in it. " The Postbag "is a series of eccentric correspondence chiefly relating to the drama, which has been furnished to the editor by Mr. R. B. Peake. The perusal of this most unaccount able series of dramatic letters, is another striking illustration of the soundness of old Gifford's aphorism, that " there is no sounding the depths of human folly." " Crockford and Crockford's" is seasoned with several saucy personalities respecting this notorious gambler, who, by means of his splendid establishinent in St. James's-street, and his luck at Tattersall's and New market, realised, it is supposed, an amount of capital scarcely exceeded even by the late Duke of Cleve land. The article about " Crockford and Crockford's" reads off lightly enough, but for much of it we are indebted to a little book which ran the rounds of the press some years ago, under the takir.s title of "The Clubs of London." Miss Louisa Ste wart Costello, in her present series of " Sketches of Legendary Cities," furnishes us with some curious particulars respecting the city of Bath. Of course it is utterly impossible that she can tell us anything new or original on so hackneyed a theme, still she has a mode of refreshing common-places ' and throwing point and liveline ss i n t o often-repeated local anecdotes that act as the salt of the narrative, and enables the reader to enjoy it with a relish. In casting about us for extracts, we can find none more interesting than the following account of a stormy interview between St. Croix - and the Mar chioress of Brenvilliers, the two celebrated Parisian poisorers, and the hero and heroine of Mr. Smith's romance : The woman retired, and closed the window. Im mediately afterwards, he hoard footsteps approaching; the outer door opened, and Madame de Brinvilliers ap peared. A s'.ifled scream of fear and surprise, yet sufficiently intense to show her emotion at the presence of Gaudin, broke from her lips as she recognised him. But, di rectly, she recovered her impassibility of features—that wonderful calmness and innocent expression which afterwards was so severely put to the proof without being shaken, and asked, with apparent unconcern. " Weil, monsieur, what do you want with me?" " Marie!" exclaimed Gaudin, " let me ask . your busi ness here, at this hour, unattended, and in the apartment of a scholar of the Hotel Dieu?" " You are mad, Sainte-Croix," said the Marchioness ; "amlto be accountable to you for all my actions? M. Theria is not here, and I came to see his wife on my own affairs." " Liar!" cried Gaudin, as he quivered with jealous rage, seizing the arm of the Marchioness with a clutch of iron. 'Theria is within, and you camel o meet him only. You know that woman.is not his wife: though many there be less constant_ You would wean his love from her, and make him cast her upon the world, that you might be installed as his paramour. You see, I know all—in another moment she also shall be Re acquainted with everything." Sainte . Croix had spoken much of this upon mere chance, but it proved to be correc::. In an instant the accustottied firmness of the Marchioness deserted her, and she fell upon her knees at his feet, on the cold damp floor of the landing. "In the name of mercy, leave this house Gaudin !" she exclaimed hurriedly. " I have been very, very wrong. I confess I ought to ha..e him more candid. But leave this house--on my banded kr ees ii mplore it. I 'will °Wain everythink" "1 th 1 niSt tar, Mane,' replied Sainte-Croix ; and theough all his excitement a •sarcastic smile played upon his lip, as he saw the trembling woman at his root. "'The. tumult of this interview will reach your new taVourites ears ; Ro-elbly t h e po li ce o f to-morrow will ethibit itirtinge pnson^m" • afi'agony of terror the Marelioness clung to Sainte- Croft. ) and besought him to depart. But Gaudin saw, as she quailed before his determined aspect, that he had gained a temporary triumph ever her haughty dispo sition ; and he enjoyed her distress in proportion as it increased. " Gaudin !" she cried, " pray, pray quit this place. I will do all that you may in future wish, so that you will but go away. I will be ycur abject slave ; you shall spurn me, trample on me, crush me, if you choose ; only leave the house." " I am waiting for an interview with M. Theria," Sainte-Croix replied coldly. " You will not depa r t !" exclaimed the Marchioness, suddenly altering her tone, and springing up from her position of supplication. " Then but one resource is left." " Where are you about to go ?" asked Sainte-Croix, Is she advanced towards the top of the flight - of stairs." " Hinder me not," returned Marie. "To the river !" The Seine flowed but a few steps from the corner of the Place Maubert, and Sainte-Croix doubted not but that, in her desperation of fear and ercitement, she wou'd not hesitate to precipitate herself into it from the quay—at that time unguarded by wall or barrier o: any kind. He seized her wrist as she was about to descend, and exclaimed hureedly : " Wherever )ou go, Marie—l go too ; even to perdi tion !" They flew down the winding stairs, scarcely knowing how they progressed, Sainte Croix still keeping hold of his companion. In an instant they were at the bottom of the flight, and Gaudin's hand was glowing like a live coal from the rapid friction of the balusters, as they de scended ; but, frenzied and insensible to the pain, he saw or thought of nothing, except the pale and terrified cres. ture in his grasp. As they reached the end of their headlong and impetuous course, Marie could no longer bear up against the whirl of tumultuous passions that agitated her. The struggle had been too intense ; her nerves gave way, and she sank, apparently lifeless, on the ground. The interview between Sainte-Croix and Madame de Brinvilliers, hurried as it had been, was too violent for the sound of their altercation not to reach Theria's chambers ; and the frenzied pair had scarcely reached the bottom of the stairs, when the student was follow ing them, accompanied by the terrified grisette, who was bearing a light- He found Gaudin attempting to raise the fainting Marchioness. She had struck her face, in falling, against a projecting portion of the staircase, and was bleeding therefrom ; a circumstance which, in the hurry of the instant, Theria attributed to Sainte-Croix. A few hot and hurried words passed on either side, and the next instant their swords were drawn and crossed. . Sainte-Croix, it need scarcely be observed, was a practised swordsman. But he nearly found his match in Camille Theria. The students were, at that time, most expert in fencing ; and Gaudin was somewhat hardly driven by the assaults of his antagonist, who, with more enthusiasm than science, pressod on him, following thrust after thrust so rapidly, .that Sainte- Croix was compelled to act on the defensive alone for some seconds. At length the cool calculation of the soldier, unnerved as he had been by the events of the last few minutes, prevailed over the impetuous assaults of his adversary. He allowed Theria to spend his energy in a series of heated attacks, which he pat aside with practised skill until, watching hinmoment, h e m a d e a lunge, and thrust his rapier completely through the fleshy part of the sword-arm of' the student, whose weapon fell to the ground. 11114LACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE No. CCCLII., for FEBRUARY.

No, no; no unioas for me; break a window first, say I, and go to gaol. Much more respectable, and a good deal better feeding. just compare the living, that's all; look at the ounces, and you'll see the gaol is the most liberal allowance, and far more respectable when you comes out." " I cannot understand that," said Eiggerton. " It's easy enough when youlnows it," said Tom ; " When one goes into the union, every body knows he's become disreputable and got no friends. All his sticks and duds is sold, and his wife and children goes in with him. They're stripped and washed, and dressed in the pauper's dress, and separated one from the other, and if they should ever get out again, they've got to begin the world anew without a mag to begin it with, and the stamp of the union upon them ; whereas, if a man poaches, and is cetched at it, he is fined, an d of course can't pay the fine, but takes it out of the county allow ance. He's shut up, it is true, but his wife and family is not, and jogs along, by the help of their friends, until his term's up, and he is let out with a few shillings in his pocket for travelling expenses. When ho gets home he finds all his tables and chairs and beds just where they were when he left them, and he goes to work again as if nothing had happened; for rely on it, catching a hare or a partridge is no crime in the eyes of the farmer that employs him, unless he farms his own land and shoots."

By Dr. CRON'S, Physician to the Strand Dispensary for Consumption. CONSUMPTION.—PIucTwAt INcomosreNct.—The "Senior Con sulting Physician" to the Hospital for Consumption, Dr. Forbes, 12, Old Burlington-stree., asserts (and I have no doubt, as for as his own experience and practical knowledge may warrant, truly), that Consumption (the Mien.% for the cure of which this institution is established), is incurit'ile, and that all who differ with him in opinion are " blockheads." I sek you, Dr. Forbes, how you will account to her Most Gracious Majesty, and to her august Consort, his Royal Highness Prince Albert, for obtaining their patronage for an institu tion—for what? for the cure bf a disease which you, the chief phy sician, pronounce absolutely incurable ; nay, more, you, the highest authority—from whose opinion there Is no appeal—maintain, not only the absolute Inearnbility of a disease (to be cured in this hospital), while denouncing the curability as the offspring of the grossest folly : in a word, the raving follieS of a " blockhead." How will you reconcile the Goternors and subscribers in general to the wanton expenditure of their money I What will the poor, who are compelled to apply to this hospital for advice, think ?—what will your colleagues think ? Will they consult you in extremities—in cases of doubt and difficulty? I should think not. For who now thinks of consulting the consulting physician, if, like you, he maintains the in curability of the disease for the cure of which ho is to be consulted ? Oh, most preposterous absurdity i . Consult Dr. Forbes on a ease of consumption, and then—what must the Medical Committee think of you, still holding the office of " Senior Consulting Physician," while you dogmatically announce there can he no subject for deliberation— no matter for consultation ?

One of the liveliest and most amusing stories that has appeared for the entertainment of the public this month, is called " A Ganie of Chess with Napoleon." The characters are admirably pourtrayed, and the little foibles of human nature are not represented in that puritanical and severe spirit which raises slight aberrations into serious misdemeanours. Our tale opens with a dinner party assembled in Belgrave square ; it is given in honour of a German millionaire, by a banker, with whom he was connected in some huge money operations. There are ten guests ; a short sketch of one or two we will lay before our readers for their entertainment. To begin with our host, first let us draw a curtain over his genealogy, wisely and benevolently considering it either an im pertinent or puzzling question ; suffice it to say, he was a dried up, thin thing, very short and very smart, but to make up for it his " heart's choice" was redo lent of fat, a subject fitting for experiments upon obesity. By some strange intuition we never look for intellectual vigour from these full-blown speci mens of " the human form divine." Nature is chary of her gifts, so she prudently dealt out but a small portion of that commodity called mind to our banker's cara sposa. But let us pass on to her thin friend, Clarissa Knaggett. According to her own account, and we always take the word of a lady, she is " all soul," except, indeed, when she metamorphoses herself into " all nerve." This creature, self-called spiritual, reminds us powerfully of Dickens's Mrs. Winterly, and is one of the sketches truest to nature in our story. The inamorato of Miss Knaggett ii present. Of course nothing short of a poet could satisfy the de sire of one " all soul," or, perhaps, by the bye, the lady, as the most susceptible creature breathing, had been, by the influence of the poet, withered into this nondescript elemental substance. But for our poet, Skinundgrieff. Of course, he had long hair, or how else could he have aspired 'to that honoured name, and possessed all that outward negligence of dress, which proves a man a genius ? The rest of the ten were composed, as usual, of a mixture of grave, fussy, formal, fine, giggling, and grand. If there is such a thing as love at first sight, there is certainly its oppo site, and accordingly, our Crcesus and our poor poet (for was there ever stronger presumptive evidence of poverty than a man being a poet;?) were immediately at daggers drawn. The conversation leads to a dis cussion upon chess ; whereupon the millionaire, after much pressing, relates to the company a long, but entertaining, story of a game of chess he played with Napoleon, which we regret to say our columns will not allow us even to draw an outline of, but we make the following short extract, to give our readers an idea of the easy and engaging style of the tale before us:— G REAT BRITAIN MUTUAL LIFE AS SURANCE, 14, WATERLOO-PLACE, PALL-MALL, LONDON.

When men spend much time together, they become accustomed to each other, like horses used to run in the same coach. For a fellow chess-player, a man will do that which he would refuse his father and mother. The habit of breathing the same air and looking at the same chess board creates a friendship to which that of Damon and Pythias was mere How d'ye do?' This it was upon which I reckoned. Schmidt and I had played thousands of chess games together, and barely exchanged three words. lie no more suspected me of being a banker's clerk than of being the King of the Sandwich Islands. We had mostly singled out each other as antagonists, because pretty nearly matched; and Schmidt loved me the more, as I knew, because it was not every man who would play with him. " Schmidt was the slowest chess-player I have ever seen. He has been known to sit three-quarters of an hour over a move, his head covered by his hands, and then to be discovered fast asleep! In everything he was the same. Correct as the sun; but a slow sort of person, for all that. Schmidt was the kind of man who, meet ing you in a pouring rain, says, What a wet day this is!' A wholesale dealer in prosy truisms, and nothing brighter; and yet covered all over with a portly assump tion of consequence, which famously dusted the eyes of the vulgar. I had ever been a judge of physiognomy, and knew my man. How many Schmidts there are in the world!

CASES of JAUNDICE and TYPHUS FEVER CURED BY MORISON'S PILLS, OF THE BRITISH COLLEGE OF HEALTH, NEW ROAD, LONDON. TO MESSRS. MORISON. Sirs,—A grateful sense of duty, both to yourselves and the public, requires me to record the case of cure effected by the Hygeian Medicines on my youngest girl, about three years and six months old, who was, about two months ago, severely attacked with yellow jaundice, and in which she was very ill for a month, part of which time the complaint was' so bad that some persons con sidered it was turning to the black jaundice. However, about the expiration of the above period she was com pletely recovered, and has, for some weeks, fully re covered her natural colour and voice, which was pre viously exceedingly altered. This cure, like many others around us, was solely effected by the Vegetable Universal Medicine, commencing with three or four at a dose of No. 1, at night, and No. 2 in the morning, and increas ing up to twelve, making now twenty-four pills per day, which was continued a fortnight, when an ascendancy was obtained over the disease, and the doses, conse quently, reduced gradually until her colour, &c., were restored. She is now, as she has been for these three weeks, in good health, betraying no ill symptoms of any kind. This same child, with her sister, was, about six months ago, cured of typhus fever, wholly by the Vege table Medicines. There has been no other medicines used in our family for a considerable period but the Ilygeian, as we hare too much confidence in them to think of any other, as on any and every occasion " Mo rison's Pills" is the reference, and upon invariable suc cess that confidence is . established, and we always find the most speedy and effectual mode of treatment is that of taking high doses regularly administered, with such an increase as the case requires, by which means the mastery is more easily and quickly obtained over the enemy, and he is effectually eradicated. Yours, most sincerely, R. ELLIOTT. 15, Cambridge-place, Cambridge-terrace, Paddington, London; Jan. 31, 1845. N.B. No Chemist or Druggist is allowed to sell Mori son's Pills;,. FRENCH PLAYS.—These performances last evening were attended by a full and highly fashionable audiencz amongst whom we noticed the following distinguished personages :--Ilis Grace the Duke of Beaufort, Prince Edward of Saxe Wiemar, the Earl and Countess of Chesterfield, the Count and Countess St. Aulairo,. the Turkish Ambassador and suite, Count Esterhazy, Count King ski, Count Kielmansegge, Lady Bruce, Baron Koller, Lady Lister Kaye, the Hanoverian Minister, Baron Rehausen, llon. Mrs. Fitzgibbon, Lady Tyrr whitt, Sir Henry `Webb, Sir J. H. Lowther, Hon. :Arr. Pery, Lord Gifford, Hon. Colonel and Mrs. 4.nson, ekir Wm. Massey Stanley, &c. We have read the review of "Anti-Coningsby, or the New Generation Grown Old," and fully agree with the writer in reprobating the custom of making personal attacks on living public characters. How ever clever these sallies may be, if the habit be en couraged, it may lead to a taste for scandal and per sonalties in fictitious writing highly to be deprecated. It would have been better if the writer of this review had confined himself strictly to his subject, instead of wandering into other matters, and digressing upon things not immediately connected with it. But upon the whole it exhibits a careful consideration of the matter in hand, and is written in a dispassionate and careful manner. We subjoin the following extract, as expressing an opinion of the author of " Anti- Coningsby," in which we heartily concur : " The writer of Anti-Coningsby' has only had two objects in view : first and foremost, to glorify herself (we are satisfied the book is the production of a woman); and, secondly, to heap abuse and ridicule upon every body against whom she has conceived a dislike. In carrying out the latter object, she displays a boldness and recklessness quite as great as that which prevails throughout Coningsby.' She occasionally, too, shows great cleverness and power in depicting the ludicrous. But there is a superabundance of coarseness and vul garity ; an utter insensibility to all gentle and groper feeling • and a magnitude and intensity of s pit e f u l ness that makes the book, upon the whole, loathsome. No doubt, in composing Coningsby,' Mr. D'lsraeli was actuated by some motive beyond the mere desire of giving vent to his personal spleen ; but the author of Anti-Coningsby' wrote for no other motivo except this, combined, as we have observed, with the desire to puff herself ; and this has been done in a very coarse and clumsy manner, and is far more likely to produce disgust than admiration in the mind of a stranger. A clever shrew, a witty virago, is, in our opinion, t h e most odious thing. in nature. We heartily wish Sir Peter Laurie would take these Furies under his care, and put t. them down,' together with suicide, Puseyisni, anti wood pavement, against the which nuisance s all the powers of his vigorous mind are at present directed. As an ap propriate punishment for these vira g os, we would sug gb to the worthy Alderma n that the y should be put under the same ban with the real, old, original Furies who ran that tremendous burst after the slayer of Cly temnestra : --az; Ou pxyvvrat eEcov res, ou3 CO9Fo7roc OLA .

Edinburgh, opens with a lively paper, the second of a series, called " Tales of the Trains," railroads having of course produced incidents and accidents as well as the old coaches, and as worthy of being worked up into fiction as " railroad romance." How Baggs, a commercial gentleman, met the Duke of Devonshire in a carriage on the North Midland, and how the Duke condescended to dine with him, and talked politics, and promised to make his fortune, and how the said Baggs found that the Duke was not the Duke, but the Duke's " gentle man," is all very pleasantly told, and we refer the reader to it for a passing laugh. " Mares' Nests" is a well written paper on many curious matters of art and literature. There was scarcely any occasion, perhaps, to commence by demolishing the fallacy of Cowper's line, " God made the country, and man made the town." As an opinion, it was long ago de funct; to attack it now is like slaying the slain. Miss Barrett's poems are reviewed with a hearty apprecia tion of their beauty of thought, and with no indul gence for the faults of diction and conceits of language which so sadly disfigure many of them. Anster gives tls one of his excellent German translations, the " Song of Mahornet;" but it is not so effective as many from the same pen. Our language cannot well dispense with melody and rhyme • to attempt the short unrhymed m e t res genera lly pr oduces something that is neither blank verse nor prose ; and we have little hope of seeing that succeed in other hands which was a failure with such masters of the English lan guage as Southey and Shelley. The other, "Leaflets from the German Oak," are very good. There is a quaint expressiveness, for instance, in the following stanzas from the " Deserted Mill" of Schnezler It stands in the lonely Winterthal, At the base of Ilsberg Hill ; It stands as though it fain would fall, The dark Deserted Mill. Its engines, coated with moss and mould, Bide silent all the day; Its mildewed walls and windows old Are crumbling into decay. So through the Daylight's lingering hours It mourns in weary rest ; But soon as the sunsets gorgeous bowers Begin to fade in the west, The long-dead ruiners leave their lairs, And open its creaking doors, And their feet glide up and down its stairs, And over its dusty floors. And the miller's men, they too awake, And the night's weird work begins : The wheels turn round, the hoppers shake, The flour falls into the binns. The mill-bell tolls agen and agen, And the cry is, " Grist here, ho !" And the dead old millers and their men Move busily to and fro. And ever as the night wears more and more New groups throng into the Mill, And the clangor, deafening enough before, Grows louder and wilder still. Huge sacks are harrowed from floor to floor ; The wheels redouble their din ; The hoppers clatter, the engines roar ; And the flour o'erflows the binn. " The Nevilles of Garrettstown" reaches its twenty seventh chapter, and there is a well written review o f " Horace Walpole's Memoirs of the reign of George ILL." The Number is a very superior one. UNITED SERVICE MAGAZINE. The contents of this periodical are by no means of interest only to the two services—the army and navy—the general reader may always derive in struction and entertainment from its pages. Sketches of travel, records of adventure, scenes of strange countries, in strange times, all so different from every-day experience, and the reality of almost all we encounter, give this Magazine an interest surpass ing that of imaginary fiction. The first paper of the present Number is an important one, on the " Spirit of Military Institutions,'' by Marshal Marmont ; there are many suggestions in it well worth the consideration of military authorities; the remarks on weapons and clothing seem founded on good sense, and to be practical also. The rest of the contents do not require to be detailed. BRITISH MAGAZINE. This Number contains a spirited article on " Modern Hagiology, or the Lives of the Saints," and exposes the ambition of the extreme Oxford party in very just terms. The followers of Mr. Newman, or, as our friend Sidney Smith would call them, the New- Maniacs, seem determined, by the publication of the Lives of the Saints, such as St. Walstan, St. Ger man, and St. Hellier, to achieve their own destruc tion as a party—" Quod Deus vult perdere, priu.sguam dementat. Take the following out of many instances, equally ridiculous :—" St. Walstan was not above confessing that a savoury roast goose, which was pre paring for his dinner, had once so taken up his thoughts that he could not attend to the service he was performing, and that he had punished himself for it, and given up the use of meat in consequence." We can scarcely recommend any one to incur the trouble or expense of reading the original work, though most enticingly got up as to its exterior; yet if any one is anxious to know the error and follies which naturally flow from the Newman system, the able summary in the British Magazine will repay perusal. THE ILLUMINATED MAGAZINE. The paper, type, and embellishments of this Ma gazine are admirable, and place it in a prominent rank among periodicals. Several stories advance a stage in this Number; and if they do not in any in stance rise above a respectable mediocrity, it is fair to say that they do not sink greatly below t. FISHER'S COLONIAL MAGAZINE. The sketches of Henry Clay, the unsuccessful can didate in the contest for the American Presidency, is the most generally interesting paper of the Number. The article on the " Tariff of the United States" is very solid reading indeed, but somewhat relieved by that on " Trinidad in the Nineteenth Century." WADE'S LONDON REVIEW. This Magazine is yet in its nonage, but at this, its fifth Number, it promises well. We have been most struck with the " Autobiography of a Living 'Writer." THE BANKERS' MAGAZINE. From the paper entitled the " Claims of Bankers' clerks" we give the following extract, thinking that the particulars ought to be known in order that the public may have a proper knowledge of what are the serious responsibilities of a large and deserving class of men. From the duties of a position ought to be calculated the remuneration to which they entitle the person holding it, and some recent events have plainly proved that a liberal policy towards those who have so much trust reposed in them, would be the best one that could be followed " The duties and responsibility of a banker's clerk are very imperfoctly understood by the public ; and though our readers generally will not require to have the parti culars of the occupation minutely specified, yet we may usefully remind them of some of the peculiar burdens' that are necessarily borne by bankers' clerks. Of these, of course, the chief is their personal responsibility for any loss that may be occasioned by their neglect or error, or by the fraud of a forger or a swindler, who can impose upon them. A person brings a cheque to the teller in a bank, and demands cash for it. The signature appears to be that of a highly respectable customer of the house, and the teller accordingly pays the amount. On in quiry it turns out that the signature is a forgery, and the public supposes that the Bank ,must bear the loss. But this is a mistake. The unfortunate clerk who has paid the cheque must provide the amount, o a r d if hebo o does not to not do so, his securities will be ca lled upon, and pay it. In the same way, if, through a mistake of a book keeper or accountant, a wrong sum is placed to the credit of a party, and the bank sustains ultimately a loss, this falls on the bookkeeper or accountant, and he must pay for his mistake. The position of a banker's clerk is, therefore, very different from that of a merchant's or a solicitor's clerk ; and it places l l i i on i y m eo rt i n. n el t ru he fa c e o t con, het occupations,iet i i o a no l f l ed a confidential are uponto p nr faosrsmist duties h w i sb which, executed by principals alone. . . ." Such services being required from the officers in a bank—and all are more or less exposed to loss from negligence or error—the scale of remuneration ought to be proportioned to the kind of services required. It is obviously unfair to determine the salary of a man who is every day exposed to the risk of heavy losses, by the same standard which determines the salary of an artisan or a mechanical workman in any department of trade. Nor is it just that a person in the high situation of a banker should refuse to give his clerk a salary propor tioned to his services, and the appearance in society he is required to maintain, because, from the great number of clerks seeking employment, the same services can be ob tained at a reduced and improper scale of remuneration. A banker who acts on this principle does not act pru dently; for he should bear in mind that his clerk is a THE RAILWAY REGISTER. This periodical is devoted entirely to railways and railway questions. It contains an immense mass of information which, at all times valuable, is doubly so at the present moment, when the extension of old lines, or the formation of new ones, is occupying so much attention both in Parliament and out of it. POLYTECHNIC . RE VIEW. The article on " Projectile Weapons of Vtrar and Ex plosive Compounds," has now extended to some length, but has lost none of its value ; it displays a linowledr of the subject treated of, and extensive reading on. it. A large part of the present paper is given exclusively to a description of those formidable missiles, Congreve Rockets. The notice of Mr. Haydon's "Lectures on Painting" is not particularly favourable to that artist; it scarcely does justice to him and his zeal for the improvement of English art. We remember reading his volume with much pleasure. The contents of this periodical this month are varied, and seem well selected, but are too numerous to go over in detail. JOURNAL OF THE ROYAL SOCIETY OF ENGLAND. Part IL vol. V. This is a publication of a goodly bulk, and that bulk is well filled ; this part contains no less than thirty-three articles, twenty-two miscellaneous com munications, and an appendix. They have all one object in: view—the improvement of the practice of agriculture; and many are the suggestions offered for the purpose of making land fertile, or keeping . it - so. We wish Mr. Pusey and the Society sueseAs ;all they undertake by their own energy, skill, and capital. We trust that the agriculturists are begLn ping to see how little Acts of Parliament and sliding scales can do for them, and how much they may do for themselves. THE FARMERS' MAGAZINE. This well-known monthly presents two well executed engravings of a Durham heifer, the pro perty of H. Brown, Esq., of Ashby-de-la-Zouch, which won the first prize at the last Smithfield Cattle Show; and of Foigh-a-Ballagh, the winner of the last St. Leger. The letter-press is exclusively devoted to what is useful and practical. THE LAW REVIEW, 6-e. This is an excellent Number. The first article is an elaborate review of Twiss's " Life of Lord Eldon," worthy of the Edinburgh in it s best days. It is almostimpossible to mistake the authorship of this, par excellence, the article of the month. It is evi dently from the pen of one whose contributions to the early numbers of the Edinburgh produce,' a revolution in periodical literature, and raised the review to the height which it has ever since main tained. It is full of materials for history—not only for the history of the times of Lord Eldon, but for the history of the times which immediately followed. In allusion to Lord Eldon's oft-repeated assertion that he was the King's Chancellor, which he seems to have considered as a sufficient apology for intriguing against Mr. Addington, the Minister, under whom he held office, we have the following interesting revelation with regard to the somewhat different conduct held by Lord Grey's Chancellor when solicited by his Sove reign to form a Government to the exclusion of his chief :-- " No doubt the royal words passed which he has re corded ; and no doubt the King calls him ' his Chan cellor,' especially when out of his mind. It is, however, certain that kings are exceedingly apt to use this phraseology. William IV., we happen to know, did use it much more explicitly to one - of his Chaticedors than his father is said to have done respecting Lord Eldon ; and yet that Chancellor never considered himself as otherwise than the colleague of Earl Grey ; like all his other colleagues, proposed to the Crown for the high office he held ; and like all his ether colleagues, abso lutely prohibited by every tie of honour and even of common honesty from making or favouring Any attempt against the Government, of which he was so important a member. Little would it have availed him, if detected in any intrigue with the common adversary, to plead that he was the King's Chancellor ; that his Maje:ty had distinctly told him he so regarded him ; that he had in plain terms said, Other Chancellors came into office as members of the Government, and as proposed by its chief ; but you hold your office from me • ' you are my Chancellor. As words of compliment such expressions were received with the deference and gratitude such gracious condescension called for ; as constituting any substantial difference between himself and his colleagues, they had no meaning at all :.and accordingly, when in 1832 the Chancellor was, both in the closet and by letter, asked to form a Government which should substantially carry the Reform Bill with the help of Lord Bilenbo rough and others, the answer was, not that as the King's Chancellor he could take this course, but that as Lord Grey's colleague it was utterly out of the question —an answer which was not soon forgiven by the Monarch, nor perhaps ever forgotten." This article also gives an authentic and authorita tive account of the flight of Princess Charlotte from Carlton House in 1815, and of the manner in which her return to the protection (such as it was) of her paternal roof was brought about by Mr. Brougham- We regret that want of space prevents us from transferring this most interesting extract to our columns. This Number likewise contains biographical sketches of Mr. Baron Garrow and of the late Sir John Bayley, and articles on the law of conveyance, on the judgment in the O'Connell case, and on the criminal law, all of which are replete with legal lore CHURCH OF ENGLAND MAGAZINE. This is a fair average Number of this cheap religious periodical. Many of the vignette wood-cut illustra tions are worthy of high praise ; among these we think the Lanercost Priory and the Church of Bosham are the best. Both are exceedingly beautiful. COURT CIRCULAR. WINDSOR, MONDAY.—The American Minister, and Mrs. and Miss Everett, took their departure from the Castle this morning. The Duke and Duchess of Buc cleuch, and the Earl and Countess of Lincoln, also left for town. At one o'clock the Queen and Prince Albert, accom panied by the Prince of Wales, and attended by the Countess of Gainsborough, Hon. Amelia Murray, Hon. Lucy Kerr, Marquis of Ormonde, Sir Frederick Stovin, Captain Meynell, Colonel Buckley, and Colonel Wylde, left the Castle in three carriages and four, escorted by a party of the Royal Horse Guards, for the Slough station of the Great Western Railway, to leave for town by a special train.

The Queen's speech on opening the session of Parlia- C. sw : n revil o l f e ment was agreed upon. Waiting. The Itigitt Hon. William Ewnrt Gladstone had an audience of the Queen at the Court, on his resignation of office. The Right Hon. Sir Thomas Fremantle was prevented from attending to kiss hands on his appointment as Chief Secretary to the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, in consequence of illness in his family. Her Majesty gave audience to Sir Robert Peel and Lord Wharncliffe. Lord Granville Somerset, Chancellor of the Duchy of Lancaster had an audience of the Queen.

The " Revelations of London," by the Editor, which are continued in the present Number, increase in interest as they proceed. •' The Doctor's Fee" is a good story, well told. We cannot say as much for the " Phantom Face." It is a dream of indigestion ; the author should take an occasional seidlitz powder and shower-bath, and, as Falstaff says, " lire cleanly." Mr. Francis Ainsworth continues his narrative of the Euphrates expedition, and Thomas Roscoe gives us an admirable article on the Danish drama. The il lustrations of Phi" are very good.

There is more matter for serious thought in many a jest of llood than in many a volume of sermons : take the story of the " Christ mas Log," in the present Number, as an example.
