Little would it have availed him, if dete in any intrigue with the common adversary, to plead that he was the King's Chancellor ; that his Majesty bad 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 Ellenbo rough and others, the answer w as , not t h at 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 thi s most i nteresting 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.

As an Indemnity to the Assured, a Deed of Settlement has been executed, whereby Property, producing upwards of Five Thou sond Pounas per Annum has been secured to Trustees for the fulfilment of all engagements entered into at this Office. The peculiar advantages offered over those of similar Institutions are, amongst others— she exclaimed hurriedly. " I have been very, very wrong. I confess I ought to have been more candid. But leave this house —on my beaded knees I implore it. I will explain everything." "I shall not stir, Marie," replied Sainte-Croix ; and through all his excitement a sarcastic smile played upon his lip, as he saw the trembling woman at his feet. " The tumult of this interview will reach your new favourite's ears ; possibly the police of to-morrow will exhibit strange prisoners." • In an agony of terror the Marchioness dun°. to Sainte- Croix, 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 prop irtion 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." 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 : erms. The followers of Mr. Newman, or, as our riend 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 priusquam denzentat." 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.

" You will not depart !' 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, as 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 excitement, she would not hesitate to precipitate herself into it from the quay—at that time unguarded by wall or barrier of any kind. He seized her wrist as she was about to descend, and exclaimed hurriedly : " Wherever you go, Marie—l go too ; even to perdi tion I" F REEMASONS' AND GENERAL LIFE ASSURANCE COMPANY, • 11, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, London.

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 Gaulin'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 crew• 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 nt?rves gave way, and she sank, apparently lifeless, on the greund. 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 ranch 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, wrainst 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. Just published, Bvo., cloth, Ss., THE PHILOSOPHY OF THE MOVING POWERS of the BLOOD. By G.

BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY. 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 good taste and ingenuity will induce him not to put too prominently forward the more loath 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 exceedingly long, and we should be doing the author no ordinary injustice if we 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 establishment 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, hut for much of it we are indebted to a little book which ran the rounds of the press some years ago, under the taking title of " The Clubs of London." Miss Louisa Stewart 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 liveliness into 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 chioness of Brenvilliers, the two celebrated Parisian poisoners, and the hero and heroine of Mr. Smith's romance : The woman retired, and closed the window. Im mediately afterwards, he heard footsteps approaching; the outer door opened, and Madame de Brinvilliers ap peared. A stifled scream of fear and surprise, yet sufficiently intense to show her emotion at the presence of Gaudin, brae 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, " Wed, 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 came to meet him only. You know that woman is not his wife: though many there bo less constant. You would wean his love from her, and make him cast her up on th e wor ld, t h a t you might be installed as his paramour. You see, I know all—in another moment she also shall be ac acquainted with everything." Sainte. Croix had spoken much of this upon mere champ, but it proved to be correct. In an instant the accustomed 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 . Dame of mercy, leave this house, Gaudin 1" 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, press on him, following thrust after thrust so rapidly, that Sainte- Croix wag compelled to act on the defensive alone for some seconds. At length the c 7ul 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 his moment, he made a lunge, and thrust his rapier completely through the fleshy part of the sword-arm of the student, whose weapon fell to the ground. ALA SWORTH'S MAGAZINE. 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, " live 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 Phiz are very good. 1100 D'S MAGAZJATE. Ridentem dicere verum quid vetat should be the motto of this Magazine. There is more matter for serious thought in many a jest of Hood than in many a volume of sermons : take the story of the " Christ mas Log," in the present Number, as an example. Are not the following observations of Tom Shovel ler, a rustic labourer, earning three shillings a week by breaking stones on the road, worth the serious at tention of all thinking men. " You. said labour? —Yes—at three shillings a week ; and you said, apply to the parish.' No, no; no unions 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 Biggerton. " It's easy enough when you knows 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 eetched at it, he is fined, and 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 he gets home he finds all his tables and chairs and beds just where they were when he left them, and ho 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." A shrewd fellow is Torn Shoveller, and sees through the humbug of making education stand in the stead of a good dinner. " We've temperance tracks, and missionary tracks and tracks for the times, and anti-corn-law tracks • m short, they're so liber a l w i t h t h em t h at th e butter-shops now won't give nothing for waste paper. Why should they when they gets it for nothing?" Tom Shoveler is a fair, and by no means exagge rated, specimen of the shrewd agricultural labourer, as distinguished from the mere clodpole ; and the Torn Shovellers will occasion some trouble to their " betters," unless those betters better attend to their duty. The Shovellers understand the full force of Mr. Drummond's axiom, " Property has its duties as well as its rights." " Our Family' is continued in the present Number. The vaccination scene is a rich one. It is the scoliast's commentary on Hood's own splendid illustration of " Io after vaccination." "The Changed" is a glorious quiz on the productions of the "sentimentalibus lacrymirorum" school. It is a perfect prose epigram, ending, like a jelly-bag, in a point. "Mateo, the Hunchback," is an interesting narrative of the Carlist war in the Basque Provinces; and " John Strong's Box" is a quaint tale of mystery. The present number of Hood is first-rate. Its gaities and its gravities are equally excellent. FRASER'S MAGAZINE. One of the liveliest and most amusing stories that has appeared for the entertainment of the public this month, is called " A Game 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 cart 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, s h e i s " a ll soul," except, indeed, when she metamorph oses h ersel f into ` 0 all nerve." This creature, self-called s pi r it ua l , reminds us powerfully of Dickens s Mr s . Wi nter l y, and is one of the sketches truest to nature in our story. The inamorata 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 i n t o thi s 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, ------ as; 01.1pxynvas esw, s-sc, ay9Furoc oubsE Or,e vcrrE. You would soon see, Sir Peter, how speedily this little prohibition would put down the most refractory of them. It would be infinitely more potential than oakum-pick ing, short commons, solitary confinement, and such other little soothing remedies as you and your learned brethren are in the habit of prescribing fur rampant offenders of the feminine gender." THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE. This Magazine, which is doing in Dublin the part of " Old Ebony" at. Edinburgh, opens with a lively paper, the second of a series, called " Tales of th e Trains," r a il roa d s h av i ng 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 " g, entle 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 f a ll acy o f Cowper': line," God made the c oun t r y, an d man town." As an opinion, it was l ong ago de funct; to attack it now is like slaying the s l a i n . Mi ss B in ar d r e the ett'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 us one of his excellent German translations, the " Song of Mahomet ;" 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 metres generally produces 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 sunset's gorgeous bowers Begin to fade in the west, The long-dead millers 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 barrowed from floor to floor ; The wheels redouble their din ; The hoppers clatter, the engines roar ; And the flour o'erflows the hints. " The Nevilles of Garrettstown" reaches its twenty seventh chapter, and there is a well written review of " Horace Walpole's Memoirs of the reign of George HI." 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 er.tertainment 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 Magazinean 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. RRITISH 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 "Nobody but a chess-player can appreciate the strong tie of brotherhood which links its amateurs. 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. Ile 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, anti 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! Excuse my thus moralising at the dinner table, if only for its novelty." 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 t o a t as t e 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 proper feeling ; and a magnitude and intensity of spitefulness 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 o f Anti-Coningsby' wro t e f or no oter motive except this ' combined, as we h ave o b serve d , w i th 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 opinio n , th e mos t odious thing in nature. We heartily wish Sir Peter Laurie would take these Furies under his care, and put them down,' together with suicide, Puseyism, and wood pavement, against the which nuisances all the powers of his vigorous mind are at present directed. As an ap propriate punishment for these viragos, we would sug gest to the worthy Alderman that they should be put under the same ban with the real, old, original Furies who ran that tremendous burst after the slayer of Cly' temnestra London : John Churchill, Princes-street, Soho. ) .y ' Just published, foolscap Bvo., loth, 12s. 6d., AMANUAL of CHEMIST ; with numerou s Illustrations on Wood.

CONSUMPTION.--7TRACTICAL INCONSISTENCY.—The "Senior Con sulting Physician" to the Hospital fOr Consumption, Dr. Forbes, 12, Old Burlington-stree', asserts (and I have no doubt, as far as his own experience and practical knowledge may warrant, truly), that Consumption (the disease for the cure of which this institution is established), is incurs ;le, and that all who differ with him in opinion are " blockheads." I ask 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 of a - disease which you, the chief phy sician, pronounce absolutely incurable ; nay, more, you, the highest authority—front whose opinion there is no appeal—maintain, not only the absolute incurability of a disease (to be cured in this hospital), while denouncing the curability as the offspring of the grossest filly : in a word, the raving follies of a " blockhead." How will you reconcile the Governors and subscribers in general to the wanton expenditure of their . money ! 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 he is to be consulted ? Oh, most preposterous absurdity ! Consult Dr. Forbes on a case of consumption, and then—What must the Medical Committee think of you, still holding the office of " Senior Consorting Physician," while you dogmatically announce there can be no subject for deliberation— no matter for consultation ?

" The duties and responsibility of a banker's clerk are very imperfectly 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, or if he does not do so, his securities will be called upon, and be obliged to 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 bis 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 him in the condition of a confidential assistant to his employer. In fact, he is called upon to perform duties which, in other occupations, are 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 confidential officer, that as such will have frequent op apnodrtuvenriy otiesftoefn impossible, actingdishonetsotly dishonestly, detectwhen a and punish it will b be difficultof fence ; and that if he does not place his clerk above the temptation to act in this manner, by giving him a salary proportioned to his deserts, he is endangering his own interest to a greater extent than he is benefiting it by the saving of a few pounds per annum." This argument is carried out much further in this paper, which we hope may have some influence in bringing about a better state of things. Mr. Samuel Jones Lloyd is the third of the series of " Currency Portraits." This gentleman's opinions on the currency question are well known, and they are here recapitu lated. The nature of the other papers may be gathered from their titles. They are on " Bankers' advances on Railway Shares ;" on " Savings' Banks;" and on " Banking and Commercial Law ;—the Law of Cheques," with a large addition of miscellaneous matter. 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 REVIEW. The article on " Projectile Weapons of War and Ex plosive Compounds," has now extended to some length, but has lost none of its value ; it displays a knowledge 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. Ilaydon'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.

We wish Mr. Pusey and the Society success in all they undertake by their own energy, skill, and capital. We trust that the agriculturists are begin ning to see how little Acts of Parliament and sliding scales can do for them, and how much they may do for themselves. • THE FARMERS' 111AGAZINE.

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 its best days. It is almost impossible 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, produced 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-repeat e d assertion that he was the King's Chancellor, whi c h h e seems to h av e considered as a sufficient ap o l ogy for intriguing against Mr. Addington, the Miniisuteter;eus t n i d u e g r r N v th e o l a m t o h n e hl different conduct held by Lord Grey's Cha nce ll or when with d o r ffi e g c a e r , d w t e o have t the somewhat followingle solicited.by his Sove reign to form a Government to the exclusion of his chief f : doubt the royal words ; especially a n l l o y passed which he has ro dmo.huaebrut out t e ing calls him 'his Chan ccoolrldoerd,, certain that kings his mind.

FESTIVITIES AT BADMINTON. BADMINTON, SATURDAY NIGUT.—The Marquis of Worcester, the heir of the ancient and illustrious house of Beaufort, attained his majority this day, and the oc casion has been celebrated here in a manner worthy of the reputation for princely liberality which the Duke of Beaufort has so long enjoyed. In order that the natal day might be ushered in with joyousness, the festivities commenced yesterday. I nv it at i ons had been addressed to all the tennants of the Duke's splendid estates in Gloucestershire, as well as to numerous individuals in other parts of the county ; and those, to the number of between 200 and 300, sat down to a sumptuous dinner in the grand hall, which had been decorated for the oc casion with festoons of evergreens, flowers, &c. Nu. merous banners, inscribed with mottoes and devices, hung pendant from the walls ; and, surmounting the chairman's seat, was a beautifully -executed tran sparency, bearing upon it the armorial bearings of the house of Beaufort, and the motto, " Hail, wel come guests." During the repast the hall was visited by the noble host, his Grace the Duke of Beaufort, his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, the Marquis o f Worcester, Earl B a th urs t, aril other distinguished indi viduals. We need not say that the august visitors were re ceived with all that warm-hearted and honest enthu siasm which characterises the British yeoman. The health of the young and gallant Marquis when given called forth a burst of joyousness which told how deeply he is beloved by those among whom he lives. The cheering was loud and long-continued, and was of that hearty description which could not be mistaken for cold and formal respect. It was generally known in the county that a public breakfast would take place on Saturday morning, and as a consequence thousands of persons from all parts of the country congregated in the park. Long before daybreak the carriages of the no bility and gentry began to arrive. Every description of vehicle seemed to have been put in requisition for ,the occasion ; the dashing four-in-hand or tandem, the sober pair, the humble gig, and even more equ i voca l carriages, were to be seen hastening to the spot. There could not have been, at one time, less than 1,500 horse men in the park, to say nothing of the carriages and pedestrians. At nine o'clock the Duke's band, led by M. J. Redl assembled under the dressing-room window of the Mar quis, attired in their new and splendid uniforms of blue and silver, and serenaded him with the following pieces, which were admirably performed :—" Round, " S ou th er ly Wind," and the " Worcester Polka" (composed by the band master, Mr. J. Redl). At about twelve o'clock his Grace the Duke of Beaufort, on horseback, accompanied by the Marquis of Worcester, his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, and a groat number of the elite of the nobility in open carriages, came upon the lawn, and were received by the congregated persons (at least ten thousand in number) with reiterated cheers. Among the illustrious personages present on the occasion were his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge, Prince Esterhazy, Earl and Countess of Jersey, Earl Howe, Marquis and Marchioness of Normanby, Earl Bathurst, 'Earl Douglas, Lord Alvanley, Lord Glamis, Lord and Lady Curzon, Lord and Lady Bruce, Lord Alfred Paget, Lord G. Paget, Lady Barrington, Baron Stuncken, Hon. Mr. Bathurst, Hon. Mr. Barrington, Hon. Mr. Stanley, Mrs. Stanley, Sir Wm.Codrington, Bart., Lady Geor g i na Codrington, Capt. Lovel,Dr. Quinn, Lord A. Fitzclarence, lion. Mr. Mildmay, Sir Wm. Massey Stanley, Bart., the Ladies Somerset, Rev. Mr. Buckley, the Duke's chap lain, R. B. Hall, Esq., M.P., &c. The august and noble *party proceed:d to an enclosure in the park, where an ox was roasting whole for the purpose of being distributed among the poorer classes. His Royal High ness the Duke of Cambridge descended from his car riage and cut the first slice from the animal, and the whole was then divided and distributed, with the car cases of six other oxen, and upwards of 3,000 41b. loaves of bread among the poor, his Royal Highness and the other guests having quitted the pavilion when the distribution took place. Dancing was commenced and kept upwith great spirit. It should also be mentioned that some ale of prodigious strength, brewed when the Mar quis was born, was tapped, and the " Heir of the House of Beaufort . ' toasted with many sincere wishes for his welfare. At half-past seven the Duke of Beaufort and his distinguished guests sat down to dinner in the grand dinin-room. The tables wer e l a id w ith hi s G race ' s super services of gold and silver plate, and presented a truly gorgeous appearance. The Marquis's health was proposed and drunk with fervour. The Duke's band was in attendance and played the following pieces :—" Cold stream March," " Selection from Giselle." Solo, M. J. Red], on his new tenor valve ophicleide, " Der Parader vogel Valuer." Quartet, La Donna de Lago, Vine le Rol, " Redowa Polka," " Emerald Waltzes. The day passed off without the slightest occurrence to mar the general harmony, and all was jay and gladness. . ARNIM, TO CLERGYMEN.—PULPIT RoBERT SIMPBoN, ESQ. CoRAIRDY, AaArNsT THR limy. JAMES C OR D INER , M INISTER op Foßaux.—This was an aetion of damages at the pursuer's instance, for certain expressions uttered by the Rey, defender from the pulpit of the parish church of Forgue, on Sunday the 9th day of January, 1842, in reference to the pursuer, and in his presence, and while the congregation was convened for public worship. The matter, as our readers may remember, occasioned no little excitement at the time. The case was ultimately submitted to arbiters mutually chosen, aid, in the event of their differ ing, to an oversman. The arbiters having disagreed, the decision devolved on the oversman, who has now pro• nounced a final award, finding the main charges proven ; and has decreed against the Rev. defender for 5/, of damages and 1191. 16s. 11d, of expenses to the pursuer, including the fees of the arbiters, oversman, and clerk. The oversman, in reference to the amount of damages awarded, explains that he had restricted them to the small sum, in respect, Meer alia, of the amount of ex penses awarded, and that a character so well established as Mr. Simpson's could not be seriously affected by the remarks which had been made.—Aberdeen Herald. FIRE AT CHISWICK CHURCH.—On Sunday MOM ing, shortly before the commencement of service, an alarm was created at Chiswick by the outbreak of a fire in the parish church. The discovery was made by Wright, the beadle. He was engaged in repairing one of the bell-ropes that had broken a few minutes pre viously, when his attention was arrested by a piece of burning wood falling upon his head from the spire of the church. Upon making his way into the belfry he found the spire, which was composed principally of wood and lead, in a blaze. Having procured assistance, the parish engine was drawn out and set to work, and the fire was confined to that portion of the steeple were it originated; but it was not entirely extinguished until considerable damage had been effected, the spire being much burnt and injured by the molten lead flowing down. The ceilings are also damaged. The cause of the fire is supposed to be the overheating of one of the flues. THE MINISTERIAL CHANGES.—The changes in the Ministry are certainly for the better. It has lost nothing in honesty by the secession of Mr. Gladstone, though such T a h u dep h ut m py.eel, M L Cr ut ia no Jesuistry will gain much by the greater devotio n h e can rt now give to it, Mr. Gladstone was Sir R Peel's double, Pet b d ou ble, and Sir Robert Peel himself i s d ou b le enough in dispenslittle, e a w ith To n giant-killer, unless, indeed, th ey h ave the indiscretion of stoneall conscience is aikne to; drinking at his wells..
