The Tower of London. By Thomas Roscoe.—lll. Poems and Ballads of Goethe. No. llLSpain as it The Super- MAGAZIN ES.---(CONTINUED.) BEN:ILEY'S !I[SCELLA 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 WM not one exactly to the author's Late. But the present chanters are a manifest improvement both in point of skill and vigour. Tne languor induced by the necessity, or the supposed necessity, of prelitninaiir 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 attracti%e that could have been selected by an English novelist ; still, we think, that Mr. Smith's good and it ireruity will induce hi m not to put too prominently for*: -el the more loath so ne 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 t. - ip 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 Priaon " 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 aoing 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 chie:ly relating to the drama, which has brr 1 furnisTic I to the editor by Mr. R. B. Peake. The perusal of this most unaccount able series of carp: nave letters, is another striking illustration of the s undress of 31d GiTord's aphorism, that "the 'e is no sounding the , cpths 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 arrornt 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 arc indebted to a little book which ran the rounds of tl press some years ago, under the takir • title of "Inc Clubs of London." Miss Lou;sa S e 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 anythirg new or original on so hackneyed a theme, still she has a mode of refreshing common-pla ces , and throwing point an d li ve li ness i nto often-r e p ea t e d 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 extract; 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. _ _ BOND-COURT HOUSE : IVALBROOK. As an Indemnity to the Assured, a Deed of Settlement has Leen executed, whereby Property, producing towards of Five Thou sond Pounds per Annum has been secured to Trustees for the faint - lent of all engagements entered into at this Office. The peculiar advantages oared over those of similar Institutions are, amongst others— 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 mo-e respectable, end a good de..l better fecaiog. just compare the livinF;, 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 canro- unthrstand 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 st r ipp e d an d 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 cotched at it, he i s fi ne d, 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 alon g , by the h e lp o f th e i r friends, until his term's up, and he is let out w i t h a f ew shillings in his pocket for traveling expenses. When he 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 oil 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." in, shot commons, solitary confinement, and such other little soothing remedies as you rid yorr learned b. ;tht,nt are in the habit of prescribing for rampant oliendors of the feminine gender."

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 I3aggs 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 f anct ; 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 us one of his excellent German translations, tha " 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 .fom the German Oak," are very good. There is a quaint expressiveness, for instance, in the following stanzas ffom the " Deserted Mill" of Schnezler : It stands in the lonely Winterthal, At the base of lisberg 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 wine ows 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 I" 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 binn. " 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 III." The Number is a very superior one.

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 adm'rably 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 fur 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 eara sposa. But let us pass on to her thin friend, Clarissa Knagg,ett. 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 is 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 Creesus 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 - A stifled scream of fear and surprise, yet sufficiently intense to show her emotion at the presence of Gaudin, broLe 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, " Well, monsieur, what do you want with me?" " Marie!" exclaimed Gaudin, " let me ask your busi ness here, at this hour, unattended, an d i n t h e apartment of a scholar of the Hotel Dieu?" " You are mad, Sainte-Croix," said the Marchioness ; am Ito be accountable to you for all my actions? M. Theria is not here, and I came to see his wife on my own affairs." UNITED SERVICE MAGAZINE. The contents of this periodical are by no means of interest only to the two services—the army end na7y—the general reader may always derive in steuction and entertainment from its pages. Sketches of travel, records of adventure, seems of strange countries, in strange times, all so d;fferent from every-day experience, and the reality of almost all we encounter, give this Magaz'ne al interest sv"pf -s -ing that of imtginary 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 c l o thi ng seem founded on good sense, and to be practical also. The rest of the contents do not require to be detailed. " Liar!" cried Gaudin, as he quivered with jealous rap, seizing the arm of the Marchioness with a clutch of iron. Thuia is within, and you came: o meet him only. You know that woman is not his wife: though many there be less constant. Yea 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 rroment she also shall be ae acquainted with everything." Sainte-Croix had spoken mach of this upon mere chance, but it proved to be cr rrec.. In an instant the accustomed fir.nress of the Marchioness dese2ted 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 home Gaudin !" she exclaim: I hurzially. "I have been very, very wrong. I confc-s I o..ght to ha.e I en more candid. But leave this house —on my beaded kr 2es I implore it. I will explain everyth'7-;." "I shell not stir, Marie," replied Sainte-Croix ; ani 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 ; po-sib'v the police of to-morrow will exhibit n....nge In an ago.iy of ter. ) • Ce MaiChness clung to Sainte- Croix, and besought him to Ce i l 1.,. But Gaudin saw, as she quailed before his determined aspect, that he had gained a temporary triumph over 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 ou me, crush me, if you choose ; only leave the house." " I am waiting for an interview with M. Theria," Sainte-Croix rep ied coldly. " You will not depart !" exclaimed the Marchioness, suddenly altering her tone, sod 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 unglarded by wall or barrier 0... any kind. He seized her wrist; as she was about to descend, and exclaimed I arr;edly :-- " Wherever you go, Marie—l go too ; even to perdi- They flew down the winding stairs, scarcely knowing how they progressed, S a i nte C ro i x st ill keeping hold of his companion. In an instant they were at the bottom of the flight, and G au di n ' s h an d was g l o wing like a live coal from the rapid friction of the balusters, as . they de scended ; but, frenzi e d an d i nsens ibl e to the pain, he saw or thought of nothing, ex ce pt th e p a l e and terrified ere!, ture in his grasp. As they reached the end of their bear headlong upag a a n i d ns i t m t p h e e tu w ou h s ir c l o o u f rse tu , m M u a lt r u ie ou c s ou p l a d ss n io o ns lon thatter agitated her. The st rugg l e h a d b een t o o 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 Vie bottom of the stairs, when the student was follow ing them, accompanied by the terrified grisette, who was bearing a light. He found Gaudi n at t empt i ng to raise the fainting Marchioness. She had s t ruc k h er face, in falling, against a projecting portion o f th e staircase, and was bleeding therefrom ; a c i rcumstance 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. 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, priusquam 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. "Nobody but a chess-player can appreciate the strong tie of brotherhocd 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. He 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. S c h m id t was t h e kind of man ivho, meet ing you in a pouring rain, says, What a wet day this is!: A wholesale dealer in prosy truisms, an 4 nothing brighter; and y e t covere d a ll 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 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 im me di a t e ly 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, rs 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 p ro p er feeling ; and a magnitude and intensity of spitefulness that makes the book, upon the whole, loathsome. No doubt, in compering 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 motive except this, combined, as we have observed, with the desire to puff herself ; and this has been done in a very coarse and clumsy marner, 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, the most odious thing in n a t ure . W e h eart il y w i s h Sir Peter Laurie would take these Furies under his care, and put them clown,' together with suicide, Puseyism, and againstwood the which nuisances all the powers of ~, his vigorous mind are at present directed.

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 ger.erally 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." ion !" WADE'S LONDON REVIEW. r) his 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' AL4GAZINE. 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, euld be the best one that could be followed " 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 responiibility 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 brinks a cheque to the teller in a bank, and demands cash for it. The signature appears to be that of a highly respectable customer ofthehouse, and the teller accor di ngly. pays the ana . ount in quiry it turns o u t th a t th e s ignature is a forgery, On and the But this is a mistake. The unfortunate clerk public supposes that the Bank :mustbear the wbo lo h ss a . s paid do to so, his securities will be called the cheque must provide the amou o nt ; ° e r n f be e does obliged not suns is placed to th e credit of a party, and the bank sustains ultimatel keeper or accountant, a wrong pay it. In the same way, if, up through mistake of a book and h this fails on the bookkeeper or accountant , e must Y a loss pay for big mistake. The position of a banker's clerk is, h v ery different from that of a mer c h ant ' s or a tereke solicitor's r, 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 geekiri;.- employment, the same services can be ob tained at a reduced and improper scale of remuneration. A banker %% ho acts on this principle does not act pru dently; for he should bear in mind that his clerk is A Sainte-Croix, it need scarcely be observed, was a practised swords man. But he nearly found his match in Camille Theria. The students were, at that ti me , most expert in fencing ; and Gaudin was somewhat hardly driven by the assaults of his antagonist, who, with more enthusiasm than science, pressed on him, following thrust a ft er thrust so rapidly, th at S a i nte . 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 6he ev en t s o f t h e last few minutes, prevailed over the i mpetuous assaults of his adversary. He allowed Therm to spend his energy in a series of heated attacks, whi c h h e put . aside with practised skill ; 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.

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.

They are on " Bankers advances on Railway Shares ;" on " Savings' Banks;" and on " Banking and Commercial Law—the 14;..w 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 extensl_on of old I'nes, 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," nas 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. 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 b go over in detail. THE FARMERS' MAGAZINE.

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 LATV REVIEW, c. 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-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 Chancellors 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 other 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 Majesty 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 Ellenbo 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 brou g ht a b ou t by M r . B roug h am . 'e 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 Gal fow 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.

C ONSUM:Tio.i. —PRACTICAL INCONSISTENCT.—The "Senior Con sultina Physician" to the Hospital for Consumption, Dr. Forbes, 12, Old Burlington-street, asserts (and I have no doubt, as far as his own e:zperience and practical knowledge may warrant, truly), that Consumption (the disease ;or the cure of which this institution is established), is incura oe, and that all who difier with him in opinion are " blockheads." I ask you, Dr. Forbes, how you 10i1 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 ? or the cure of 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 incurability 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 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 ?—witat will year 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 Consulting Physician," while you dogmatically announce there can be no subject for deliberation— no matter for consultation ?

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 janndice. 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 Hygeian, as we have too much confidence in them to think of any other, as on any and every occasion " Mo t ison'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.
