Mr. Ruskin reminds us that no human action.,
ever were intended by the Maker of man to be
guided by balance of expediency, but by balance
of justice. ln considering the affections as a mo-
tive poWeri he sap!—
" Treat the servant kindly, with the idea of turning

Th'c ".Fmir Georges," by Mr. Thackeray : The
sketched of lqatin'ers, Atoralsi Courts, and Town
Life in the tittle Of geol•ge ate' well worthy of
reproduction in this 6'±eellierit nhVgazine. Mr.
Thackeray seems to understand Inni'ething of the
peculiarity of woman's love ; and, in Ut eharatter
drawn by him of Queen Caroline, he holds ifii for
otif tidatirstion a perfect model of feminine
devotion. Sate het husband (says Mr. Thackeray)
" queen Caroline cares for no created being—to him
gh6 is faithful throngli all ttial, neglect, pain, and time.
She is good &dae to her children, and even fond
enough of them; brit the liovld chop them all up into
little pieces to please him. In llct intercourse with all
around her, she was perfectly kind, gtationtri tend
natural : but friends may die, daughters may depatt, she
will be as perfectly kind and gracious to the next set.
If the king wants her, she will smile upon him, be
di•fit gd sad; and walk with him, be she ever
so weary ladgli at his brutal jokes, be she
in ever so much pail of Vodly of heart. Caroline's
devotion to her husband it a: p'toqgy to read of.
What charm had the little man ; What was there iit
those wonderful letters of thirty pages iotm, whicfr fie
wrote to her when he was absent, and to his mistresses
at Hanover, when he was in London with his wife ;
Oh/ did Caroline, the test lovely and accomplished
priucce Oetntatiy, take a little, red-faced staring
princeling for A. wind refuse an emperor ? Why,
to her last hour, did• she tole lii so She killed her-
self because she loved him so: She the go-at, and
would plunge her feet in cold water in matt to walk
with him: With the film of death over her eyes, Ittlfhd
ittg iit intolerable pain, she yet had a livid smile and
gentle Word for her master."
liogarth's life is continued in this
number. to write the life of this great painter,
engraver, and philosoiker is a tssk which few
literary men would be able to accotnpfish. How-
ever, this subject is one suitable id George
Augustus Sala. The life of Hogarth will 104
greatly to his reputation as a writer, and will
tend greatly to increase the circulation of this
poptilar periodical.
The Ho'tintialtant rapers are excellent. Alto-
gether, this nurnitt of the " Cornhill" is de-
cidedly one of the best that ba ever yet been
published.

ASCENT or Vu. doXsfeige BALLOON. —On the
occasion of the 200th anniversaty of the Grenadier
Guards, on Wednesday, at the Crystal Video; the ear
of Mr. Coxwell's balloon was occupied by Lord Langan,
Sir Charles Russell, and Captain White. The distin-
retched voyagers, after a splendid trip, descended on
the property of. Mr. Smith, banker, at Croydon Crook.
THE DISCHATaftS 2741 Isms.—An official return states
that 10,116 of the Ettropelm local troops in India took
their discharge in consequence of being refused bounty
on the transfer of the army front the Company to the
Queen. Only 119 re-enlisted in India for the expedi-
tion to China, and only 2,809 have re-eulieted into the
British army since their arrival in England.
THE ROAD Cl 4 TLD Menus:R.—Sergeant Williamson,
of the metropolitan detective force, has arrived at Road,
and is actively engaged with Mr. inspector 'Whitler,
Captain Meredith, chief constable, and other officers
of the county palm, in investigating this tragic affair.
Mr. Kent, the father of the deceased child and of Miss
Constance Kent, who stands charged with the murder,
accompanied by his solicitor, Mr. William Dunn, es
Frome, having obtained an order to visit the prisoner,
proceeded to the County Gaol at Devizes, on Sunday
last, but on their arrival the feelings of the father
overcame him, and he was unable to undergo the inter-
view. Every possible exertion is being made by the
police to collect further evidence, and to find, if possible,
the missing nightdress belonging to Miss Constance
i
Kent. It is believed that, if not burnt, it is secreted
somewhere in the vicinity of the house, and, with the
view of inducing the inhabitants of the village to assist
in the search, a placard has been issued, offering a
rover:. of £ to any person finding tit nightdress and
delivering it to the police. It is now supposed by per-
sons competent to give an opinion on the matter, that
the first intention of the murderer was to have thrown the
child down the privy with the object of suffocating it,
and that it was expected the body would have sunk out
of sight. The drawing-room window and shutters
are supposed to have been opened by MHO person inside
the house to convey the idea and lead to the belief that
the child had been stolen. A description of the privy
will make this theory better understood. It is situ-
ated about twenty yards from the kitchen door, and i;
surrounded by shrubs, the well or cesspool being.:ll,
extraordinary size—viz., about ten feet deep and seven.
