MAGAZINES FOR THE MONTH. The Dublin University.—This is a very attractive number of this magaaine ; there are a good many interesting subjects treated of. In the " Portrait Gallery" a brief memoir is given of Thomas Colley Grattan, Esq., in which the vicissitudes of his strange career are recapitulated. In conclusion, it is observed that he is once more a free man, "as free as he was in the days of his boyhood, when, gun in hand, he walked the moors and hills of his native Ireland." It is further said that he ought to do something more for literature. It is true that since the time he wrote a new style has sprung up, but still the tast e f or th e o ld has not passed away. " But even were it otherwise, he has enough of original genius to cut out for himself a new path, and to achieve a new fame. Let him once more take up his pen, and we dare be sworn many a friendly critic will welcome him back among the brother hood of letters." The clever story of " Sir Jasper Carew" is continued in two chapters, in which our hero's fortunes are indeed fallen, for, in the first one, called " The Gloomiest Passage of all," he is put into prison, after having been nearly starved ; and in the second, appropriately termed " The Streets," he is reduced to the expedient of becom ing a crossing sweeper. Here, however, the good luck which in some exalted stations had been de nied to him was his portion, and many a passer by was induced to sympathise with " Gentleman Jack," as he was named by his new associates. However, we are informed at the last portion of the story that a change is about to take place, and that his present place is to be relinquished. "Some strange disturbances in an old house in Aungier-street" is a very odd sketch, and the reader is puzzled to make out at the end whether he is to credit the apparition or not. Be it true or false, notwithstanding the lodgers are obliged to leave the house, which was a great proof of its being inhabited by strange visitants, especially as they were living in it rent free ! " The Cow Hunt," although from its appellation it may appear a light or jocose tale, is on the whole rather melancholy, but the little incident to which it owes its name is ludicrous enough. Number 4 of the " Portuguese Olive" describes the career of the poet "Sade Miranda," whose course it is said presents nothing of the romantic - he was only an amiable and accomplished man of fetters, who loved retirement, and his life was quiet and peaceful, " clouded only at its close." The writer of this paper expresses his opinion that Miranda received higher honours than men of greater genius, his talents being neither sublime nor brilliantly origi nal, but that his private excellence of character was of great service to him ; besides, he flourished at a time when Spanish and Portuguese poetry were in infancy. A Second Flight, or a Visit to Hobby Land" carries on the satirical sketch com menced last month, in which all the absurdities of the day are shown forth. In the present division the Peace Congress is met with. " A Peep at the Dramatic Gallery of the Garrick Club" contains an account of the way in which that valuable collec tion was formed. It was originally arranged by the late Mr. Matthews. When he was compelled by circumstances to part with them they were pur chased by the Garrick Club. The number amounts o three hundred and eighty-eight, the cost origi nally approached to 5,0001., and a short notice is given of the subjects found in the gallery, which is interesting. In " Fireside Fancies" some agreea ble poems are found. The most meritorious is that entitled " The Olden Time," in which the metre is flowing, and the ide#s gracefully expressed : 140; 40 My blessing rest upon thee, thou merry olden time, When the fairies were in fashion, and the world was in its prime ; Every ruin had its goblin, every green rath had its fay, Till the light of Science chased them from their ancien haunts away. d pr d i i p 3 -M 3 1 d a d g d d par How rich wert thou in legends of magic lamps and ring— of genii, whom a single word to mortal aid would bring ; Of caves of gold and diamonds, where foot had never been, Till by the favoured one their depths were all unveiled and seen. Thou wert the time for monarchs—then kings were kings indeed, With potent fairy sponsors to summon at their need ; Whose wands could change their enemies to marble at their will : Ah, many a king would Reed to have those wands of power still ! 11 - 13 --- cl 8 = fo 5 6 21 2 36 3 8 Ad pa 44 - j 1 62 -67 5 - 7p 24 3d 14 - 16 it • IP 2/ 2ad a d L 8 71 d is Par I = ii; par P 32 -- 3 4 9 10 5 6 5 7 31 - —3 I 1 1 = d . 4 i al BANKS. 51i 83 - 85 ..• ..• dia 11 idi' 1 4 id 4 1P Oh, cruel race of stepmothers ! where are you vanished now ? Where are the henpecked husbands who before you used to bow, And yield their lovely daughters to glut your jealous ire, Forgetful, 'mid your blandishments, of ev'n the name of sire ? Sweet beauteous persecuted tribe, princesses young and fair, With faces like a poet's dreams, and veils of flowing hair, Beloved by vile enchanters, who turned to stone and wood, The princes who to rescue you dared steel, and fire, and flood. Fierce cannibalish giants, who dwelt in forests wild, And worn and weary wayfarers to clarksorne dens beguiled Brave knights with charmed weapons, who laid the mon stars low, And opening wide the dungeon doors, bid cease the cap. tive's woe. Where are you all departed ?—where lie your treasures hid ? Where are the pearls and emeralds that came when they were bid ? Where are the mines of gold and gems, that but to think of now, Dazzles our mental eyes with light—Old World, where art thou ? We want those endless riches, we want the magic spells, That brought the fairies to your aid, from woods, and hills, and wells ; We've no enchanters nowaday, no cabalistic flames— The world has lost them all, and keeps but their time honoured names. 481 - 491 Oh, could I find a magic wand, I'd bring those days again— I'd call the treasures from the caves of earth and throbbing main ; The land should be a glorious land, as 'twas in ancient time, When the fairies were in fashion, and the world was in its prime ! Colburn's United Service.—The United Service Magazine opens this month with a paper on the " Seat of War." It is followed by a chapter on " Tactics," which gives some curious accounts of different warlike manoeuvres, and their chances of success and failure. A French account of " War in China," has reached the last chapter, which tells us of the blockade of the canals—the commence ment of the negotiations—the signing of the treaty —and concludes with general considerations on the opium war. A criticism of a French work recently published, entitled " Military Portraits," gives some interesting sketches of warriors : "Gustavus Adolphus, to whom precedence is accorded, receives from our author the tribute of praise justly due to his renown. Called to the throne at the age of sixteen, he early signalised himself by his military achievements, and bore a distinguished part in the Thirty Years' War. Far in advance of the age in which he lived, he effected great improvements in the disposal and accoutrements of his troops, and brought them to a perfect state of subor dination and discipline. Although rigorously severe, he was yet careful for their health and comfort, and , came to be regarded less as a king than as god.' spirit of piety, which ever led him to attribute Simple in his habits, unaffected, and endued with a true suc cess of his arms to his Creator, the brevity o deprived the world of one of its most distinguished mili taryl t ornaments, and causes us e ven amen the premature now to premature death of so wise and brav e a warrior. buftehitscareerhea period when so much interest Vauban, on whom M. of fortification, is that of subject a i o r e f d bastions, three hundred devised Duparcq dwells with national pride this grea t • us an agreeable account of engineer, a tr i ee l mp le, shortened the front has given of his life, erected no less than thirty threewho, in the course " Another sketch which cannot n ph o ri t de fai ba ' e l ne t do o p b elx el tu e ed l r c e o o. m o e Hth a eo t line of defence, and projected the half-moon further. the system n t s e ci y o s Skilled in adapting the fortification to the nature of the y and genius, designed the was ivt a i d n i t s e t distinguished i a s I g t d asue aqueduct, ground, he pursued the same plan for a frontier as for a a o t e e trtse. new ewri curtain, He improved fortifications, invented t fortress, while for cannon breaches he substituted the system of undermining, excelling, on the whole, more in attack than in defence.

In his leisure hours he devoted civil himself to literature, and produced works which, what engimniliet:rr, ever may have been their faults, bore witness to the diversity of his genius, and the activity of his life. —7 e The next on whom we dwell with pleasure, and whose name was assuredly one of the most illustrious that adorned the seventeenth century, is Turenne. His long and brilliant career was marked, not only by m ilit a ry glory, but by the most inestimable private vir tues. Placing his whole trust in Providence, he was, in character, singularly unaffected, generous, and disinte rested, while his modesty became proverbial. Simple and frugal in his private life, distinguished alike by his love of truth and great humanity, he added to these qualities undoubted courage, patience, and sagacity. The entire army regarded him with the deepest affection and mourned for him as for a kind father. The character of Turenne has been happily summed up by Montes quieu in a single line : His life was an hymn in praise of humanity. " i d— par 74 76 74 8i The journals of " The Late Major Maeready" and " Fitz Gubin," are both continued, and are followed by articles on " The Individual Organisation of Prussian Regiments," and " The Military Schools and Colleges in France." "A Narrative of Border Warfare" contains murders and deeds of vengeance in the usual border fashion. Colburn's New Monthly.—The first article is on the "War in the East," and the author is certainly a most determined enemy to the Sultan, and, what is more uncommon, a determined admirer of Lord Aberdeen. Ile commences by informing us—" It ,/i2O, is impossible not to allow that the policy of Great Britain in the present crisis in the east, so far as it has yet gone, has been simple and straightforward ;" and, subsequently, that " the Aberdeen policy, reviled as it has been, is the only just and true one." This writer's logic is somewhat curious. Be cause " we cannot drive the Russians out of Poland —the Austrians out of Cracow, Milan, and Venice —the Prussians out of Posen" —he considers it useless to prevent the Czar from seizing Turkey, and defends the aggressor by accusing the aggressed. If the only claim upon allies was the perfection of the Government, or the faultlessness of the nation, this argument would be unanswerable. At present it is not very clear that, because we have " in stances of tyranny and extortion on the part of Turkish officials," we are to allow a country, equally celebrated for tyranny, to break the faith of treaties. Alluding to the downfal of Mahemedanism, he says—" And what a blessing it would be ! In half a century we should have open roads t• Calcutta, perhaps to Pekin, and the seeds would be sown for the revival of the great nations of antiquity" —and for the downfal of the great nations of the present day, very probably. Doubtless the projected roads would be for the march of the Russian armies to share with us the sovereignty of Hindostan ! This article, which is th e mos t cons id era bl e , i s followed by two tales of German origin, with the appropriate titles of " The White Lady," and " Pale Sophie. They are characteristic tales, interesting and me lancholy, with a little of the horrible in each. N. P. Willis occupies the ninth number of " American Authorship." The author of " The Unholy Wish " contributes a story of ancient times, called " The Lady's Well," in which the heroine, Lady Ellana, the daughter of the Baroness of Chillingwater (whose name was ominous), married two brothers, and, when disco vered, by the inopportune return of the first from the Crusades, drowned herself in " The Lady's Well." " Gossip from Florence" is a lively letter, sketching the " City of Flowers" and its inhabi , tants. No. 111. of "Tales of my Dragoman" tells ' us the history of " How Muftifiz rose to greatness," one of the always amusing oriental tales of brooches lost, plots found out, viziers beheaded, and injured innocence promoted. The present number of " Literary Leaflets" consists of a criticism on Mrs. Jameson, and does full justice to the popular author of the " Characteristics of Women." " Chronicles of a Country. Town" is continued, and many events take place in this instalment—an elopement, an accession of fortune, and a ship- wreck among them. A singular little ballad, called " The Elf King's Bride," is translated by the inde fatigable Mrs. Bushbyfrom the Danish of Hans Christian Andersen. " The Epilogue of 1853" concludes by informing the readers of the New Monthly that the present number completes the 99th volume. with the belligerents. He would rejoice in the opportunity of learning thus not alone vague gene ralities, characterised by a sort of grey uniformity, but of becoming acquainted with details and minute incidents, colouring the scene into the ken of more glowing and more vivid appreciation. He would perceive something more of the momentous reality than that implied in the fantastic phrase of a recent dreamer— Instead of this, instead of discerning only the out line of column and platoon, or the feathering mists thrown up by the discharge of ordnance and mus ketry—he would obtain a glimpse of personal acts of heroism, he would catch gleams of the broken sword or the blood-stained cuirass, he would ob serve as it were upon the scroll of history not merely a diagram of the situation of the opposing armies, but an animated profusion of illustrations, a vignette of the drummer-boy, and a silhouette of the commander-in-chief. So is it with this con tinuation of the " History of Eiirope," by Alison—annals extending from 1815 to 1852, from the fall of the first to the accession of the Third Napoleon. Immediately upon the appearance of the initial volume of his novel and daring narra tive, we took occasion to commend the skill with which its author had acquitted himself of so many embarrassing responsibilities. The ability displayed in this respect by Sir A. Alison from the very commencement of his enterprise is yet more con spicuously revealed, now that we can watch the course of its development. Naturally enough, as already intimated, the work is coloured here and there by its author's personal partialities and poli tical predilections. These, however, the intelli gent reader can pass over at their right valua tion, grateful for the industry which has gone in search of so many curious and valuable particulars, by the aid of which each one individu ally may estimate the progress made by the re spective races of Christendom in the onward march of civilisation. As indicative of the interest comprised in the volume before us, several of the more memorable incidents therein recounted may be here not in aptly enumerated. . . Turning over the chapter devoted to the record of events in Russia and Poland during the ten years which elapsed be tween 1815 and 1825, we receive from the hand of Alison an account of the last illness, the death, and the funeral of Alexander,. We watch the rise and fall of the enormous re volt consequent upon his disappearance. We recognise the heroic bearing of Nicholas at the period of his accession. Nay, with all the wrath inspired at this moment by the flagitious policy of that most ambitious and audacious poten tate, we cannot but accord to him the admiration which is his due for the conduct displayed by him immediately on his elevation to the throne of that terrible and colossal autocracy. The description given by Sir A. Alison of the character and even of the personal appearance of the Emperor Nicholas must be accepted, of course, as favourable over much. Yet while we cannot close our eyes to the exceeding partiality of the writer, we cannot allow our own lack of sympathy with the Czar to blind us to the truth of one notable part of his delineation. " Exemplary," says our author, when speaking of the Emperor Nicholas, " exemplary in all the relations of private life, a faithful husband, an affectionate father, he has ex hibited in a brilliant court, and when sur rounded by every temptation which life can offer, the simplicity and affections of patriarchal life." We must perforce admit the justice of the panegyric. Turning from Russia to Eng land, the reader will find in this second volume matter for eager perusal in the picturesque descrip tions of the Cato Conspiracy, contrived by the butcher Ings, and the firebrand Thistlewood —of the trial and troubles of Queen Caroline—of the bloodshed at Peterloo—.and, besides many other enthralling topics, of the demise and character of the Marquis of Londonderry-, better known as the celebrated Viscount Castlereagh. The account given by Alison in chapter ix. of the death and captivity of Napoleon though, of course , f rom t h e very nature of the subject, fraught with an irresis tible fascination, is, everything cons id ere d , one of the least satisfactory portions of his chequered and picturesque narrative. The annalist still pertina ciously closes his eyes to the fact that Napoleon broke the treaty of Fontainhleau only after it had been broken by the Allied Sovereigns. He re ports the old story that the hero's last words were— " We & armee," when the last syllables that fell from his lips were " Josephine," according to the evidence of the faithful soldier who closed his eyes, the late General Count Montholon. Nay, Sir Archibald in this division of his labour as an his torian appears to flaw his text with a series of curious contradictions. He condemns Napoleon, for inasmuch as (ch. ix. p. 365) he allowed his serenity to be disturbed by his being addressed with the title of General, as if that were of no sort of importance whatsovcr—yet a little later on (ibid. p. 371) he asks "where was the necessity of refusing him the title of Emperor ?" Again, he speaks of (p. 371) " the littleness evinced by the English Government" in refusing even certain " slight gratifications to the fallen hero"—although in a previous sentence he has spoken of the con. duct of that Government towards Napoleon (p a , 367) as " highly liberal and considerate !" No—. talk as Sir A. Alison may about full justice having at length been done to the Captive of St. Helena —it has yet to be infused into the annals penned by Englishmen. Candour, at least, may neverthe less be displayed amongst us in his regard, though we may never hope to see that dark and sinister blot ever obliterated from our national escutcheon. Enough, however, upon this par ticular—a matter to us a l ways of painful and lamentable retrospection. Enough, more over, in reference to the volume under review in the way of minute carping or detail e d emenda tion. Although flawed in a variety of directions from the haste with which its materials have been compacted together, the historical work submitted to our criticism must be welcomed as a marvel of facile ingenuity an d of rapid ei ab oration—a mas terly evidence of its author's industry, courage, and perseverance. " Tiny Waterloo, Ante red and blue." Ainsworth's Magazine.—" Nicholas Flame'," by the author of " The Confederates," has reached the twenty-fifth chapter. Coming sorrows are darkly foretold. " A Diary Round Mont Blanc" describes a journey in Switzerland. The curious tale of "Is he a Doctor ?" is continued. " The Queen's Letter" finishes tragically, as all tales of the French Revo lution are expected to do. " Incidents of a Sea Voyage," and " Tales of the Backwoods," are inte resting to the lovers of adventure, though the conclud ing scene of the latter is very painful. There is a lively paper on the " Choregraphic Art in England." The verses by J. E. Carpenter are not equal to this author's former productions, having nothing to distinguish them from the melodious and compara tively meaningless words usually written for music. " The Seven Ages of Poverty and Crime in the Nineteenth Century" is a sketch unhappily too much like reality of the desperate consequences of neglect and bad education. The number is con cluded by " A Strange Story," from the German of L. Kalisch. The Gentleman's ' Magazine and Historical Re view.—There is an interesting account of "Philip the Second and Antonio Perez " met with here. The details of their mutual treachery is exceedingly complicated, but at last the king resolved on the death of his secretary. The latter had proofs of the monarch's connivance in murders recently per petrated, and cunningly contrived to secrete them, so that when all was deemed safe by the king he brought them to light, and thus injured Philip's reputation considerably. In revenge Philip con , signed him to the mercies of the Inquisition, hut the nobles and people rescued him and he escaped. He did not prosper however. He made friends only to lose them, and at last the favourite of courtly saloons, and the confidential adviser of sovereigns, expired in the lowest poverty. On the death of Philip, p some years before, "the genius of the artists of Spain, the wealth of the clergy, and the resources of the state, were exhausted in the sumptuous solemnities of his funeral. But, amid the pomp which veiled the corruption of the tomb, the blaze of light, the swell of organs, and the solemn requiem, there arose the thought of the atroohioo of Alba, of the fires of the Inquisition, of liberty destroyed, of the murder of Escovedo, and the torture of Perez ; and this man, splendid in ashes and pompous in the grave,' was interred be neath a condemnation which God has pronounced, and before which all living flesh must tremble." " Notes on Medit - eval Art in France" is continued, and takes in its category Nancy, Chalons, Troyes, Paris, Beauvais, and Amiens. Of Paris it is said that there are too many attractive objects to discuss them all, but Notre Dame is mentioned in terms of praise. It is remarkable " for its historical remi niscences, as well as its architectural features." The church of St. Eustache is one noticed as being pe culiar--" It is neither medieval, nor classic, nor cinque cento, but characteristic of all three." The church is being decorated, but it is observed that there is a tendency in French work to overdo, which produces a gaudy instead of a rich effect. "Memo randa on Mexi co " i s th e first subject in this num ber. After some account of the struggles that country has undergone, it is declared that it will not prosper till the whole of the provinces shall have followed the example of Texas, and become annexed to the Anglo-Saxon race. "Hitherto Mexico has been favoured by Nature and abused by man, but the time is at hand when man will . second nature, and inaugurate a new era in ancient Tenochtitlan." The History of Europe : from the Fall of Napoleon in 1815 to the Accession of Louis Napoleon in 1852. Vol. 11. By Sir Archibald Alison, Bart. Blackwood. In continuation of his laborious enterprise, the most industrious of living annalists has here brought down his luminous and voluminous history of Europe to 1825, to the downfall of Riego in Spain, to the triumph of Pepe in Naples, to the su ppression of revolt in Russia, to thereactio,nticif R o yalism in France, to the riots in England i nsu rrection in Scotland, a n d the a rian dise turbances in Ireland—a memorableinterval com prising occurrences no less important than the death of Napoleon and the accession of Nicholas, Queen Caroline's trial and George IV.'s Corona tion. It is surprising with what remarkable f ac ilit y here Sir Archibald Alison hasgrouped together facts hitherto so widely scattered. The difficulty at tendant upon the narrative of n we all know is in a great measu re proportion? cl e t v o e th t e s ir being remote or contemporaneous. Speaking more plainly, we e would say that it were easier to write an account of the Hept arc h y than a record of the last political movement. In the former instance fewer autho rities hav e t o be already been weighed in the balance of successive generations, their statements have been contrasted with each oth er , the light their evidencenlef ocus, has been accumulated, as li it ht were, and brought tobear upon the to a sin g le required epoch by the aid o f a d ro it co ll at i on and ingen i ous commen tary. In the latter instance, however, it is alto gether different —in the instance, say, of some recent revolution. There the data have to be collected together—and collected from what sources, from sources how numerous, how questionable, how widely separated ! From files of newspapers, from volumes of official gazettes, from cartloads of pamphlets, and memoirs, and diaries, and orations, and miscellaneous correspon dence—from bulletins hotly despatched from the field of battle, from state papers coldly issued from the cabinet of statesmen, from the flattery of the adulator, and the misrepresentation of the satirist, from the fury of personality, and the enthusiasm of partisanship, and the din of faction, and the clouds of prejudice—from the discussions of Journalism and the debates of Parliament. It is from sources as bewildering and multifarious as those here enu merated that the modern annalist has to derive his data when he adventures upon the task of describing occurrences which are very nearly contemporaneous. To look for perfect impartiality in any historian thus situated would be as irrational as it would be to expect coolness in an observer of some mighty struggle, standing in the midst of the noise and the smoke, and the carnage of a cannonade. The annalist must regard events from a reasonable distance if he hope to acquire the merit of impar tiality, just as the spectator of a b a t t l e should be situated out of reach of what Schiller finely calls— " Th e wild grim dice of the iron game," if he aspire to watch the fluctuations of the con test with anything at all resembling the cool ness o f sell-possession. evertheless, be it remembered there are other advantages to be desired b es id es those of imperturbable sedateness, or of cold-blooded indifference. Every individual interested in a war like conflict, would, of course, listen eagerly to one talking of the fight, who had watched it not from the dim mountain top, but in immediate proximity I OP DEPARTURE THE AMERICAN M A IL S . --Y es t er d ay forenoon, about eleven o'clock, th e U n it e d St a t es ma il steam-ship Arc tic, isi„. c ew ap y ta o in rk Ja w m i e ti s i C th . e L u u s c i e j , al sa b il i ed -we f e r k o l m the M ersey for pmraoivlinsfeoers ; the Unit e d St a t es an d B r i t i s h N or th America?: 95 passengers and a large and valuable cargo of merchandise on freight. THE MILITARY AT BLACKBURN.—It appears that the Secretary of State for the Home Department has promptly complied with the request of the authorities of Blackburn to have a military force stationed there during the turn-outs, and on Monday a company of the 34th Regiment from Preston marched into the borough, and have taken up their quarters there. HOUSE FALLING.--THE LATE APPALLING ACCIDENT AT PLYMOUTH.—Since our last we learn that one of the persons injured, a young man, underwent the process of amputation of the leg, on Sunday last, in the South Devon Hospital. The operation was found necessary from the crushed state of the limb. The buildings in White-lane, adjacent to those removed by Mr. Ki ng , i n Southside-street, were pronounced dangerous by the surveyor, on Friday and Saturday, and were vacated immediately. On Sunday the east end fell down, and the residue became precarious, although secured some what by props and other appliances.—Plymouth Mail of yesterday. FATAL RAILWAY ACCIDENT AT LIVERPOOL.—O n Monday night, at half-past eleven o'clock, a dreadful accident occurred at the Great Howard-street station of the East Lancashire Railway, which resulted in the death of the guard of the train, named William Parker, and a female passenger, named Nurst, residing at Liver pool. it appears that the deceased had both arrived at Ormskirk, and that the engine, after being disengaged the usual time, 11.30 p.m., by the da l np u dr g e g rve a: from the train, and proceeding ahead a short dis tance, " o n o g n () e f t t h P ha a en ra frlwi l on l a r tawwiasethhebdtrh.oeu brought tg e godnencteashfreoeomd"whoachsiliteehbyiltinthei time alight ede w th h e en train, e a n n g d in w e, er w e hi i e n h t h h a e d ae r t et o o f rn cr e o dsss i the spot. nispoenctacle, the expected, ran over them, and killed th e The bodies presented a most dreadful man's skull being literally crushed together, and the n features of the face totally obliterahted, and the woman touuersnityerdabi nfrodille. n e e r ar bo th d e y. named edbotGheloerggsenGeairilleey tseerv,erwehdofrlvoasm the Rime of the accident, dec A eas p :d rso a n t was knocked down by the buffer, and remained insensible for some time.

Campbell, a working man in the chair. Mr. Finlen moved the following resolution : " That this meeting, afte r w it ness i ng t h e numerous f a il ures that have been too consequent upon sectional and isolated struggles of the people to maintain a proper scale of wages, and to achieve the emancipation of labour, is of opinion that the time is now arrived when a united mass movement of the working classes, based upon a national organisation, and guided by one direct ing body, can alone assure adequate support to the men now locked out of employment and on strike, and enable working men, for the future, to free labour from the thraldom of capital." Mr. J. B. O'Brien seconded the resolution, observing, however, that, if fully carried out, it could not do justice to the working classes. Even the masters themselves, under the present competitive system, however well inclined, could not do anything like justice to the working classes. (Hear, hear.) Still he would like to see a labour parliament tried, as a grea t deal of good might be the result. The resolution was then agreed to, as was also a resolution in support of a labour parliament, similar to that recently resolved upon by a Manchester meeting. !Aberdeen ..

Simple as the matter may seem, it has emptied the pockets and drawn heavily upon the brains of many of our most gifted in science. Success, however, in its broadest sense, appears to have awaited upon the long and untiring exertions of Messrs. Boggett and Pettit, who have intrusted their patents to Messrs. Edwards and Son, the well-known stove manufacturers, of Po land-street, Oxford-street. In the rooms of the Society of Arts, in the Adelphi, may now be seen several of these gas stoves, which fully realise all that has been so long sought for. It will be there seen how curiously abes tos has been m a d e t o pl ay it s par t in this practical use fulness. MIST Anbin boa! and Iron Australian Agricult. Australsn.Pcific.blail Australn.
