LORD CHANDOS'S MOTION• Upun referring to the motio❑ made by Lord Ebrington in the House of Commons on the 10th of October last, when the Reform Bill was defeated in the House of Lords, We find it was couched in the following words : " That whilst this House deeply laments the present fate of a Bill for amending the representation of the people in England and Wales, in favour of which the opinion of the country stands unequivocally pledged, and which was matured by discussions the most anxious and laborious, it feels duly called upon to re-assert its firm adherence to the principle and leading provisions of that great measure, and to express its unabated confidence in the integrity, perseverance, and abilities of those Ministers, who, in in troducing ar.d conducting it, have so well consulted the best interests of the country." In referring also to the list of those who supported that resolution, we find the names of— Adeane, J. W. North, F. Bentinck, Lord G. Villiers, T. 11, Colborne, N. W. It. I Watson, Hon. It. Denison, J. E. Willoughby, Sir H. Lemon, Sir C. Agnew, Sir A. Mills, J. Johnstone, J. J. H. Now, as these gentlemen were amongst those who voted for Lord Chandos's motion on Tuesday, we beg to ask them, whether they think that giving representatives to the metropolitan districts is, or is not, a leading provision of the Reform Bill ? And we further ask these gentlemen if they think they have redeemed the pledge they gave in October last, by voting against his Majesty's Ministers, and this "leading provision" of their Reform Bill, in favour of a motion made by the bitterest enemy of the Bill, ani for the sole purpose of destroying it ? Times. AN EFFECTUAL CURE for the CHOLERA. The following is an extract from a letter, dated Vienna,l August 9:— " The communication which I herewith enclose, ought to be made public in every quarter of Great Britain. for it details the easiest and most effectual mode of treatment, under attacks of the cholera, which has hitherto been pro posed or practised : " The Jews of Weizniz have been eminently judicious in their treatment of the cholera; for in that town, out of 240 individuals who have been attacked by it, every one of them has been saved, with the exception of two persons who refused to submit to it. A s one of the members appointed to conduct the sanitary establishment, I was an eve-witness to the treatment observed, and have already saved the lives of my three servants, who were at taeked, lay adopting it. The several points of the reme4y are these following. = a pint of strong spirits of wine, and half a pint of gond white vinegar, add to them one ounce of powdered camphor, one ounce of flour of mus:ard, or bruised mustard-seed, a quarter of an ounce of ground pepper, and a full tea-spoonful of bruised gar lick; and lastly, half an ounce of powdered canthari , !es. 31ix them well together in a bottle, and expose the mix ture for twelve hours in the sun, or otherwise place it in some warm spot, taking care to shake it repeatedly. As soon as the person is attacked, let him be instantly put to bed, under warm coverlids, and let his bands and feet he rubbed powerfully and uninterruptedly with the lotion, after it has been warmed. During this operation, let the patient take a glass of strong drink, composed of two parts of c tinomile flowers, and one part of balm mint. " Persevere in this course, and at the end of fifteen mi nutes at the utmost (the patient's head and body being kept well covered beneath the bed-clothes) he will break out into a profuse perspiration. " The patient must be kept in this state between two and three hours, but care must be taken that he does not fall asleep. After this, remove the extra covering from off the bed, and he will drop into a slumber, which will I ist between six and eight hours, and be accompanied by a gentle perspiration. " When he awakes, he will find himself weak, but the disease will have entirely left him, and he will require nothing further but rest and moderate diet to restore him to perfect health. " Especial attention must be paid, that the patient, after the operation of rubbing, does not so much as lift a finger above the clothes, for the slightest chill, whilst the perspiration is upon him, would be his death. " Wr:en the cramps in the stomach come on, we apply very hot dry bandages of bran and ashes to the pit of the stomach, and when necessary, a bladder of hot water to the region of the navel. " The great point is to produce strong perspiration, and to restore the circulation of the blood, which, at the be ginning of the attack, is drawn from the surface of the body, and thrown with frightful virulence on its inward parts. . . _ " Frem my own experience, and the repeated proofs I have had of its entire efficacy, I cannot hut most con scientiously recommend this mode of treatment to univer sal adoption. (Signed) " RIVER, " Commissioner of the district of Bochnia." AYLESBURY, FEB. 29. This was the gest day of the Circuit. The Judges, Barons VAUGLIAN and GlifiNEY, arrived here yesterday evening, and to da y the Assizes were opened for the county of Buckingham. The calendar is unusually heavy, but there are no cases beyond those of an ordinary character. It was near one o'clock before their Lordships took their seats on the Bench,—Baron Vaughan in the Criminal Court, sad Baron Gurney in the Civil Bill. The Grand Jury having been sworn, the Judge charged them very shortly, when several cases of housebreaking and petty larceny were immediately proceeded with. The only case tried of any importance was the following one of horse-stealing : John Peacock, said to be an itinerant preacher of the Methodist connection, was indicted for feloniously stealing a grey horse, the property of W. H. Bailie, E‘q. of Brad well, in this county. Davy examined—ls servant of Mr. Bailie, and lives at Bradwell ; remembers missing the grey horse on the 26th of August last, and saw it afterwards in Southern, in an adjoining county. Wm. Roland examined—Lives at Bradwell ; keeps a beer-house ; saw the prisoner on the 26th of August last at his house, between eight and half past nine o'clock ; he was dressed in a fustian jacket and trowsers, and carried a flak basket, which lie took with him ; the horse stolen was kept about half a mile from his (Roland's) house. Thomas Pullin examined—l was employed at Stayer ton, and recollect the •6th of August last. It was on Friday. I saw the prisoner at the bar coming into the gate of my master's inn at Staverton. He had a basket, and was dressed in a fustian dress. He had come off a grey horse, which had been hard ridden. He ordered the bridle to be taken off the horse, and to have oats and beans given him. I went before a Magistrate at Stoney Stratford on the Thursday following, and saw the grey horse there I had seen before at Staverton. Richard Hart examined—l have seen the prisoner be fore, and saw a grey horse with the prisoner at Southern. A p , rson was with him who was about buying the horse, but the man declined. I looked at the horse, and the prisoner aak , d 14/. for bin!. He afterwards exchanged the horse with a person named Clarke. The horse seemed to have been very hard ridden, and had received bad usage. I saw the ham afterwards before the Magistrates. 3he Jury having been charged, almost immediately re turned a verdict of Guilty. Sentence of death recorded ; his Lordship at the same time intimating that the pri soner must expect to be sent out of the country for life. In the Civil Court two or three cases were tried, hat none of them of public interest. `I I NO It THEATREs.--,Yesterday a meeting of the inhattitatits of St. James's Clerkenwell, was held at the Angel Inn, Islington, when a petition to Parliament was agreed to, praying for the repeal of all laws which re strict dramatic performances at the minor theatres. THE DUKE OF WELLINGTON.—The Duke of WELLINGTON has been censured for giving battle with a forest in his rear. His worshippers would have the circumstance advantageous to him. It is obvious to the plainest understanding, with the knowledge of the forest of Soignies, that it must have embarrassed the most or derly, and proved ruinous to a precipitate retrograde move ment. But a victorious General ma) smile at the reproach of not having made it his paramount object to secure a re treat. The Duke of WELLINGTON, it is admitted on all sides, placed brave men in a position where they could best tight. His coup-d'ceil, physical and moral—of the field of battle, and of its incidents—was comprehensive, steady, and sagacious; during the engagtm-nt he was active, pru • dent, decisive, and brave—inspiring courage and confi dence by his self-possessen and personal contempt of dan ger. He may be entitled to a place with EUGENE and 3IARLBOROUGH—minds of such stature as every age might and generally does produce ; but it would be a vain effort of impotent adulation to rank him with HANNIBAL, C csaa, and NAPOLEON.

THE OPERA.—The evident intention of the author of this clever novel was to shoot " folly as it flies " in the liAher regions of society; to satirize its foibles and its vices ; and this has been accomplished with great tact and ability. The writer's skill in sketching character is easy and brilliant, without being overcharged with orna- ment. It is a very prevalent fault with certain novelists to make their characters go through the etiquette of high life in the most awkward and constrained manner; but in the works of the present author, they move with all the ease, freedom, and hauteur of genuine exquisite!. Their attitudes are aristocratic; their features are aristocratic; aristocracy can be traced in their fingers and the palms of their hands, and al their actions are characteristic of true unadulterated blood. at the opening of the battles of Zama and W ater l oo . The parallel holds as curiously at the dose as " HANNIBAL," says Live again, " cum panda equitibus inter tumultum elapsus, Adrumetuin p rfugit, omnia et in prcelio et ante aciem priu•quam excederet pugna, expertus, et confessione etiann SCIPIONIS, oluniumque peritorutn mi litia, illam laudem adeptus, singulari arte aciem eo die instruxisse." The same testimony is borne to NAPOLEON. The following opinion was expressed, with rare modesty, by the Duke of WELLINGTON, a day or two after the battle, in a letter to his mother, Lady MORNINGTON BONAPA aTE did his duty—he fought the battle with infinite skill, perseverance, and bravery; and this I do not say from any personal motive of claiming merit to myself —for the victory is to be ascribed to the superior physical force and invincible constancy of Briti h soldiers." NA POLEON'S plan and dispositions for separating WELLING- TcN and BLUCHER, so as to engage them in detail with his inferior force, were, in the judgment of mili tary men--" oinnium peritorum conceived, and his off its during the emergencies of action to repair disaster or rectify mistake, master traits of military instinct and science. Some absurd fictions respecting his express ens and personal demea nour during the battle, imposed upon English tourists by a Flemish peasant, who took upon himself the lucrative functions of cicerone at Waterloo, have been rep ated and on his death ralhleids,iminpteolsltignerteist reiterated in print, and with general credit in England. They were the common jest of Brussels at the time; and pardon of God and Peasant, asked bed. Why, then, was he conquered ? Because the the shrewd, or, as he m w an as fo c de— sign alone wholly belongs to the chief, whilst h e is de pendent for its execution upon countless hazards and others' cl-operation.—Dr. Lardner'a Cabinet Library. Life and Re ign of George IV. VoLIII. MAGAZINE DAY. NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. There is evidently much pains taken both with the literary and mechanical departments of this Magazine, though we could wish to see the former diversified with a greater variety of style and thought. There is too much uniformity even of excellence ; too much of the Penseroso character in the present number. The first article " On the State of Rural Population," is ably argued ; the causes of the existing degeneracy of our peasantry are traced, with a firm and skilful hand, to the great changes that took place in the mind and habits of the farmer, during the artificial stimulus afforded to agriculture by the late war, which had the effect of breaking up the old in timate connexion that previously existed between the farmer and his dependants, by raising one above, and sinking the others below, their level. The writer's observations on this point deserve attention : " And now we come to the inevitable results of these changes upon the working class. From such residences, the servants of the farm were almost necessarily excluded ; a man with such wealth, power, and pretensions, would submit with reluctance to the personal supervision which must be bestowed upon such inmates. It followed almost as a matter of course that the hind wko must find himself a habitation, would be desirous to find himself a helpmate. Population thus perhaps, in the country, received its first artificial impulse. The former course of events, by which the long-tried, industrious, and frugal man, rose through the several gradations of service, accumulating a little more and more with each remove, was domiciliated with the dairy-woman, by whose society and similarity of habits he was attracted and attached, and whom he at last married, was totally reversed. The young out-door la bourer was tempted, if not compelled to marry in his own defence. Cottages multiplied, and the social was super sided by the separate system of domestic habitation. In the mean time the rise in the price of corn had, as we hive shown, generated an universal desire of appropriating every spot that would bear an ear of wheat or barley. The inclosure of commons, though a national good, and even in some respects a corrective of morals, for the most lawless were always found to harbour near such wild do mains, was in some important points an evil to the indus trious labourer. The addition to their income which the careful couple derived from the common, half the mainte nance of a cow, a pig, and a small number of geese, ducks, and fowls, as the case might be, was at once cut off. But they were compensated in wages? By no means. The rise in wages never even kept pace with the rise of the price of fool and necessaries, both of which were enhanced by the taxation which was the fruit of the war. On the contrary, the augmentation, indispensable to the very ex istence of the labourer, introduced the system of paying a portion of wages from the parish rates. Thus it was that the evil of the law of settlement came to be felt, and with its pressure grew that desire of evasion, which has been the source of such eternal, such expensive litigation be tween parishes, of such inequality and injustice to the rate-payers, of such oppressive tyranny towards the la bourer, of so much perjury, animosity, demoralization, and vengeance. The depravation has at length been com pleted by the misery and recklessness attendant upon the abject poverty, which is the consequence of extreme com petition, of the commercial and moral opponency, so to speak, which reigns between the three classes of depend ants on the soil, and also between them all and the Church, instigated in no small degree by the circulation of those cheap and inciting publications to which no proper anti dote has yet been exhibited in a judicious and effectual system of useful and moral education." Conversations with an Ambitious Student in 11l Health," are exquisitely written, in a vein of the truest and tenderest pathos. A little more vigour, however, and a little less of that effemi nate sensibility of which we see so much in Rousseau, would have made them perfect. Even as it is, they are delightful productions, the ema nations of a refined judgment and fertile fancy. We are glad to learn that they are to be re published. They will not derogate from the reputation of the author of " Eugene Aram." " Italian Humorous Poetry" is a lively, enter taining paper. The" Coffin-maker" a well-written tale, but of too outré a character. The senti ment is not healthy ; it has no touch of nature about it. " The Law of Arrest" is a pointed tale, exemplifying an arrant absurdity in our common law. It seems modelled, "as with a ff isdshi shorter t r ee romantic,c tales. s o t ‘h he isgohn f l asyg-sl:io found of uungdi n lit no fiction, e G of re Voltaire's t Urn'' studded with gems of sterling poetry. These four lines, particularly the two last, strike us as eminently beautiful. They are fragments of a poem ad dressed to an Arcadian child sleeping : " Sleep on, sleep on, the silver flowers A pillow to thy head may be ; Whilst Evening, with her band of hours, Sits by thee silently." " The Monthly Commentary" is good, if only for its containing the Rev. Robert Hall's graphic description of the atrocious scenery about Cam bridge. " It is dreary to the eye ; it is naked, without foliage, without trees, except that here and there a stunted willow astonishes the tra veller, as though nature were putting up signals of distress." We have long since forgotten— if we ever read them—Mr. Hall's Sermons, but we shall never forget this description. Shakspeare himself could not have done it better. It is not like life, it is life itself, and brings once again distinctly before us the long, wan, hypochondriacal face of nature as she exhibits herself in that flat, filthy desert—which presumes to call itself the country—stretching away from the Gogmagogs towards Fenstanton. BLACKW 0 OD'S MAGAZINE. Full of politics as usual, combustible as touch-wood, and red-hot as a blacksmith's fur nace. In the first article, " Present Balance of Parties in the State," Christopher literally foams with passion; he abuses the Whigs, he abuses the Tories, he abuses all and every thing, hut himself and' Edmund Burke. But when, from sheer exhaustion, breath and passion are both ex pended, he comes to the following conclusion, " What are the prospects of the country ? Many think them gloomy in the extreme—we see streaks of nascent light dawning in the horizon." So do we, but through another telescope than that which Blackwood makes use of. We see it in the triumph of the Liberals ; he in their utter discomfiture. " The Belgian Question" i s an able and elaborate article, but dismally stale, having been bandied about, like a shuttlecock, in Parliament and the newspapers for the last six months. " What caused the Bristol Riots ?" is another savage diatribe, penned evidently under the influence of a severe attack of dyspepsia. Of course th e cause o f these disgraceful riots is found in the " unparal leled licentiousness of the Press; as if there had been no such " untoward" event as an osten tatious public entry of a rank political Judge into a city convulsed by party spirit ! " The Executioner" is a powerful tale, but we dislike the false taste in which it is both conceived and executed. " Nautical Adventures" is a lively, graphic article, replete with incident, told in the frank spirit of a sailor. " Family Poetry" is one of the cleverest and sprightliest jeux d'esprits we have met with for a long time. It is light and sparkling, and penned, every line of it, con amore, without effort and premeditation. Long as it is, we cannot, in justice to our readers, omit it : THE PLAY. " Qua que ipse miserrima vide."—Vsau. Catherine of Cleeves was a lady of rank, She had lands, and fine houses, and cash in the bank ; She had jewels and rings, And a thousand smart things, Was lovely and young, With a rather sharp tongue, And she wedded a Duke of high degree, With the star of the order of St. Esprit ; But the Duke de Guise Was by many degrees Her senior, and not very easy to please; He'd a sneer on his lip, and a scowl with his eye, And a frown on his brow—and he look'd like a Guy— So she took to intriguing With Monsieur St. Megrin, A young man of fashion, and figure, and worth, But with no great pretensions to fortune or birth ; He would sing, fence, and dance, With any man in France, And took his rappee with genteel nonchalance ; He smiled, and he flatter'd, and flirted with ease, And was very superior to Monseigneur de Guise. Now Monsieur St. Megrin was curious to know If the lady approved of his passion, or no; So, without more ado, He put on his surtout, And went to a man with a beard like a Jew, One Signor Ruggieri, A cunning -man near, he Could conjure, tell fortunes, and calculate tides Perform tricks on the cards, and heaven knows what besides, Bring back a stray'd cow, silver ladle, or spoon, And was thought to be thick with the man-in-the-moon. The sage took his stand With his wand in his hand, Drew a circle, then gave the dread word of command, Saying solemnly--"Prato ! -.Hey, quick ! --Cock.a-lorum !" When the Duchess immediately popp'd up befoie 'em. Just then a conjunction of Venus and Mars, Or something peculiar above in the stars, Attracted the notice of Signor Ruggieri, Who bolted, and left him alone with his deary.— Monsieur St. Megrin went down on his knees, And the Duchess shed tears large as marrowfat peas, When—fancy the shock : A loud double-knock Made the lady cry, " Get up, you fool!—there's De Guise!" 'Twas his Grace sure enough; So Monsieur, looking bluff, Strutted by, with his hat on, and fingering his ruff; While, unseen by either, away flew the dame Through the opposite keyhole, the same way she came ; But alack ! and alas ! A mishap came to pass, In her hurry she somehow or other let fall A new silk bandana she'd worn as a shawl; She had used it for drying Her bright eyes while crying, And blowing her nose as her beau talk'd of " dying !" Now the Duke, who had seen it so lately adorn her, And knew the great C with the Crown in the corner, The instant he spied it smoked something amiss, And said, with some energy, " D—n it ! what's this ?" He went home in a fume, And bounced into her room, Crying " So, ma'am, I find I've some cause to feel jealous. Look here!—here's a proof you run after the fellows!— Now take up that pen—if it's bad, choose a better— And write as I dictate this moment a letber To Monsieur—you know who !" The lady look'd blue; But replied, with much firmness, " Curse me if I do !" Then De Guise grasp'd her wrist With his great mutton fist, And pinch'd it, and gave it so painful a twist, That his hard iron gauntlet the flesh went an inch in ; She did't mind death, but she could not bear pinching; So she sat down and wrote This polite little note; " Dear Mister St. Megrin, The Chiefs of the League in Our house come to dine This evening at nine; I shall soon after ten Slip away from the men, And you'll find me up stairs in the drawing-room then. Come up the back way, or these impudent thieves, The servants, will see you ; Your's, Catherine of Cleves." She directed, and sealed it, all pale as a ghost, And De Guise put it into the twopenny post. St. Megrin had almost jump'd out of his skin For joy that day when the post came in; He read the note through, Then began it anew, And thought it almost too good news to be true. He clapped on his hat, And a hood over that, With a cloak to disguise him and make him look fat; So great his impatience, from half after four He was waiting till ten at De Guise's backdoor. When he heard the great clock of St. Genevieve chime, He ran up the back-staircase six steps at a time, But had scarce made his bow He hardly knew how, When, alas and alack ! There was no getting back, For the drawing-room door was bang'd to with a whack.— In vain he applied To the handle, and tried, Somebody or otheihad lock'd it outside! And the Duchess in agony sobbed, .. My poor chap, We are cotch like a couple of rats in a trap !" Now the Duchess's page, About twelve years of age, For so little a boy was uncommonly sage ; And, just in the nick, to their joy and amazement, Popp'd the gas-lighter's ladder close under the casement ; But all would not do—. Though St. Megrin got through The window,—below stood De Guise and his crew, And though never man was more brave than St. Megrin, Yet fighting a score is extremely fatiguing ; He thrust carte and tierce Remarkably fierce, But not Beelzebub's self could their cuirasses pierce, While his doublet and hose, Being holiday clothes, Were soon cut through and through from his knees to his nose; Still an old crooked sixpence the Conjurer gave him, From " pistol and sword" was sufficient to save him, But, when beat on his knees, That confounded De Guise Came behind with the /ogle that caused all this breeze, Whipp'd it tight round his neck, and, when backwards he jerk'd him, The rest of the rascals jump'd on him and Burk'd him. The poor little page too himself got no quarter, but Was served the same way, And was found, the next day, With his heels in the air and his head in the water-butt. Catherine of Cleves Roar'd " Murder !" and " Thieves ! !" From the window above While they murder'd her love, Till finding the rogues had accomplish'd his slaughter, She drank Prussic acid without any water, And died like a Duke-and-a-Duchess's daughter! MORAL. Take warning, ve fair, from this play of the Bard's, And don't go where fortunes arc told on the cards! But steer clear of conjurors !—never put query To " wise Mrs. Williams," or folks like Ruggieri : When alone in your room shut your door to, and lock it! Above all, keep your handkerchief safe in your pocket ! Lest you too should stumble, and Lord Leveson Gower, he lle call'd on,—sad poet !—to tell your sad story! FRASER'S MAGAZINE is Clim m a o x nth of Cmeornreetertiheasn" s u a a n l otyn.tain,,s Theth variety. amusing paper, displaying no little informati on and sterling humour. It •is a quiz upon the new Cemetery Company lately started, or in the act of starting, we do not exactly know which. " The Stock -Exchange" is a ponderous affair, which should have been considerably shorn of its dimensions. " The Proposed General Fast" is a rambling species of lyric, containing some good lines and striking imagery. " Life and Times of Wicklif," is a staid and sensible essay, the production of a gentleman and a scholar. It is one of those choice magazine articles which may be read with advantage. " Manifestations of Spiritual Gifts" is a de fence of the unknown tongues, by no less a personage than the Rev. Edward Irving him self, the great prop and pillar (its only one, we believe) of the imposture. The following is the Rev, Rhapsodist's account of the musq of the tongues, when in full play at the CaledoP Chapel : .11 " But no one heating and observing the utterance for a moment doubt it, inasmuch as the whole utteral from the beginning to the ending of it, is with a pof' and strength and fulness, and sometimes rapidity of von altogether different from that of the person's ordinal 11 terance in any mood ; an d I would say, both in its fort and in its effects upon a s i mp l e m i nd, quite superliato rai There is a power in the voice to thrill the heart and ol e ' awe the spirit after a man ner w hi c h I have never Pic There is a march, and a majesty, and a sustained paad e t in the voice, especially of those who prophesy, whi have never heard even a resemblanc e to, except now then in the sublimest and most impassioned mood , ' Mrs. Siddons and Miss O'Neil. It is a mere abandv ment of all truth to call it screaming or cryinci: it is tl most majestic and divine utterance which I havel o heard, some parts of which I never heard equalled, and 0 part of it surpassed, by the finest execution of genius sI of art exhibited at the oratorios in the concerts of a nciei music. And when the speech utters itself in the a psalm or spiritual song, it is the likest to some of lb , most simple and ancient chants in the cathedral service) insomuch that I have been often led to think th it tbe i chants, of which some can be traced up as high as 0 day of Ambrose, are recollections and transmissions of fh t inspired utterances in the primitive Church. Most ffe; quently the silence is broke by utterance in a tongue, sO" this continues for a longer or a shorter period, sometiot occupying only a few words, as it were filling the 0 gush of sound, sometimes extending to five minutes„t even more, of earnest and deeply.felt discourse, wf which the heart and the soul of the speaker is manifest much moved, to tears and sighs and unutterable gm/ ings, to joy and mirth and exultation, and even laugh ( of the heart. So far from being unmeaning gibberish,t! the thoughtless and heedless sons of Belial hive said, jell regularly formed, well pronounced, deeply-felt discout' which evidently wanteth only the ear of him whose nat tongue it is, to make it a very masterpiece of power speech." - As melody, after all, is a matter of taste, at one man has as much right to an opinion another, we shall beg leave to enter our mos , earnest and unqualified protest against the justi of Mr. Irving's criticisms. It has been our fa to hear more than one " Fair Unknown" gil tongue at the Caledonian Chapel, and a moi barbarous dissonance ear never yet heard, imag' nation never Net conceived. It as neither a bra", nor a howl, nor a scream, but a strange combintri tion of all three. Grimaldi made the nearest, proach to it when he indulged in those inimitablij chuckles at S a dl er ' s Wells, which never faild to throw box after box full of schoolboys into hysterics. Mr. Irving must surely have been indulging in a sly, grave joke, when he coal' pared the unknown tongues to the chauno of the Cathedral service ! The " Galleo l of Literary Characters" contains what tl termed, a strong likeness to Goethe, which with every respect to that eminent individual be it said, looks very like an old clothesmati But the line of wisdom is seldom the line o beauty. The three ugliest dogs that ever existed were Socrates, Gibbon, and Johnson. As t( the former he was a finished fright. Yet wha mind lay hid within those rugged exteriors ! Thi remaking articles are of the usual calibre. MONTEL Y MAGAZINE. Under its new management--we speak with no disparagement of the old—this periodical haS I considerably improved. The articles are lively grave, and for the most part, reasonably brief, s great recommendation. Its politics also are of, the right caste, and it advocates them skilfully, and fearlessly. The most curious article in thl whole number is an enquiry how far Lord Byron, in his poems of " Manfred" and the " Deformed Transformed," was indebted to s wild romance, published in 1803, and entitle the " Three Brothers." We remember reading this singular production in our school-boy days, and being afterwards much struck with the lavish use Lord Byron had made of it, in his conception of character. " The Petticoat Parliament" is a clever idea, well wrought up. " Russia, in 1832," affords a curious insight into the present domestic condition of that half civilized quarter of the globe. Altogether the number is an agreeable one. We regret that we have no space for extracts. THE METROPOLITAN. " The Bank of England, Commerce, Cur rency, and Finance," is a dull and drowsy, but elaborate and useful article. The political eco nomists, or those who fancy themselves such, will be in raptures with it. " The Simkin Papers" are better than usual ; the former series of these epistles were somewhat un intelligible in point of wit, but that perplexity is now clearing up ; and they are really becoming humorous. The correspondence between Mr. Perceval and Parson Irving on the subject of happily are hit p o a ff s: and epigramm a ti c . Mr. Campbell's Impromptu g sa would supp ose t h at t h e author of the the bl lr i f e o : r h, m a ns e d r k ' t p a r c o ei p s: o v se e br yi d n g f s a t d , A i y s u most tmo boiOl atan;h, Benediction on Children" is am I g" usPingY'. exq Gertrud e to her hus uisWitehlyo tender adieu o f t h e d smart ying ,‘ Half could I bear, methinks, to leave this earth And thee more blessed than aught beneath the sun, If I had liv'd to smile but on the birth Of one dear pledge ; but shall there then be none In future times —no gentle little one-- To clasp thy knees, and look resembling me?" Who, we say, Could suppose that the author of this affecting apostrophe, could have penned the following stanzas ? The lines are curious if only by wa y o f contrast. We admire them in finitely. They are full of nature and sincerity : " Imps, that hold your daily revels Round the windows of my bower, Would that Hell's ten thousand devils Had you in their clutch this hour! Screaming, yelling little nastier, Would that Ogres down their maw Had you cramm'd in Christmas pasties, That would make you hold your jaw. Saucy imps, stew'd down to jelly, Ye would make a sauce most rare; Or with pudding in each belly, Rival roasted pig or hare. Sweeter than the flesh of these is, Would be yours, young human bates ; All with apples at your noses, Would I saw you dish'd by scores ! Herod slaughter'd harmless sucklings, Not with tongues like yours to vex; Were he here, ye Devil's ducklings, I would bid him wring your necks." ASIATIC JOURNAL. The essay on the state of " Our Relations with China," is just at the present crisis, the most readable article in the current number of this Magazine. Accordingly we recommend it to the reader's attention, as it is clearly the result of much time and labour. Of the re maining articles we have merely time to say that they are, for the most part, a b ove mediocrity, and that the observations in particular on « The Wis-
