PERIODIC AL LITERATURE.

The Quarterly Review. No. CLXXXVIII. March,
1854. London: Murray.
THE new number of the Quarterly can scarcely be
said to contain more than seven articles, as the one
on " Criminal Law Digest" occupies but half a dozen
pages. Of the seven, two are plainly from the
hands of a veteran contributor, whose mental acti-
vity, now confined to this review, seems to increase
with declining years and physical infirmity. In the
paper on the " New Reform Bill" there are many
palpable hits ,but the dismal vaticinations of the
writer, reminding one of the evils continually en-

THE aggregate meeting of Roman Catholics on
the subject of conventual institutions is not likely to
take place for three or four weeks ; but, meanwhile,
the " declaration of rights" is to be signed by the
Roman Catholic body throughout the country. There
seems to be great zeal and earnestness in the pre-
sent movement, in which the gentry of that denomi-
nation, the professional and middle classes, are
cordially co-operating, whilst the prelates and clergy
are also taking a prominent position. In the pub-
lished lists there are the names of many Roman
Catholics who had never taken any part in agitation
since the passing of the Relief Act in 1829.
THE steamers which leave Waterford for Liverpool
weekly are still crowded with emigrants en route to
America ; and the principal stations along the several
lines of railway daily present parting scenes, some-
times on a very large scale, between departing emi-
grants and their friends. Last week no fewer than
500 persons left the quays of Cork by steamer for
Liverpool. Many persons who intend making Boston
their ultimate destination prefer to sail for Quebec in
the first instance, and proceed from thence to Boston
by rail. The cause is said to be economy both in
money and time, as the voyage direct to Boston is
longer and more expensive than the route through
Quebec.
THREE MEN, named Bryan Grant, Neal Quin, and
Patrick Coomey, convicted at the late Monaghan
Assizes of being concerned in the murder of Mr. T.
D. Bateson, on the 4th December, 1851, were exe-
cuted in front of Monaghan Gaol on Monday
morning.
Ix appears the Czar of Russia is the landlord of
certain corn stores and houses in Limerick, which
produce a net yearly rental of 4001.
THREE RUSSIAN Sums which had lately arrived in
Cork have been sold to Liverpool firms.
Thant are more emigrants from Clare in Aus-
tralia than from any other part of Ireland, and the
consequence is that every Australian mail brings
large remittances to the friends of those who have
settledin the region of gold. - • -

LONDON, SATURDAY, APRIL 15, 1854.

WHEN the constitution of the Aberdeen Go-
vernment was first announced, and the

country was startled at learning that it was to
be composed, not as formerly, of men who had
acted together and represented an intelligible
system of policy, but of persons opposed to

each other on almost every conceivable ques-
tion of the day, we were assured that the new
Ministers made great sacrifices of private feel-
ing from regard to the public good. It was
represented that a strong sense of duty com-
pelled them suddenly to forget their antipa-
thies and their principles, and that the
country had urgent need of a strong Govern-
ment—strong in the numerical support it
would secure—to carry necessary reforms, and
above all to preserve peace, seriously endan-
gered by the vigorous efforts of Lord Deasy's
Administration to put our naval and military
establishments on a thoroughly efficient foot-
ing. It being assumed, from the antagonistic
sentiments of the men thus strangely brought
together, that they must have accepted office
with reluctance, grateful acknowledgment
was claimed for them, on the ground that their
patriotism had proved superior to their party
predilections. The nation, it was argued,
must reap the benefit of their abnegation of
principle, as what but a prospect of advancing
the best interests of the country could have
assembled in one Cabinet statesmen who had
previously sat on opposite benches, and had
openly avowed their mutual distrust?
There is commonly, we are afraid, some
cant in that reluctance which politicians of a
certain order profess to entertain for whattho7
are pleased to term the cares and responsibili-
ties of office. Undoubtedly there may be
cases in which the profession may be strictly
true and the reluctance real, but such cases
must be exceptional. In political life office
is the great prize struggled for, and those
changes of sentiment which lead directly
to it are not the less suspicious because al-

THE ARCTIC EXPEDITIONS.
Two overland expeditions to the Arctic regions
have been decided upon ; one in boats, to go down the
Mackenzie River, in search of Captain Collinson,
about the safety of whom there is now some anxiety;
the other in canoes, down Back's Fish River, to make
further inquiries into the fate of Sir J. Franklin's
people, endeavour to obtain some more relics, and,
should any of the remains of the dead be found, to
place them decently under ground. The Lords of the
Admiralty have arranged that these expeditions
should be left wholly in the hands of the Hudson's
Bay Company.
A letter from Mr. Hughes, surgeon of the brig
Advance, belonging to the Grinnell expedition, and
commanded by the intrepid Kane, written in Baffin's
Bay in July 1853, had been received at New York.
The health of the persons composing the expedition
continued good, and an enthusiastic determination to
persevere in endeavouring to ascertain the fate of the
long-lost Franklin animated each and all of the gal-
lant party. According to the plan agreed upon when
the Advance left New York, her arrival there may be
looked for during the present month or early in No-
vember. Should she fail to reach port within that
time, it will doubtless be because Captain Kane had
determined to continue his researches in the Arctic
regions for another season.
On Monday a dinner was given to the hero of the
Arctic regions, at the Swan Hotel, Hastings, by the
inhabitants of Hastings, among whom the gallant
captain has for some years taken up his residence.
The chair was takon by the Mayor, Charles Clift,
Esq.

THE PRESS.

Mr. Bell subjoins the following note :
The punctuation of this passage varies considerably in
different editions. In sonic modern editions the first line
is printed,
Hark! tis the twanging horn o'er yonder brf•Ne—
marking the close of the fourth line with a semicolon, and
the fifth with a comma. In Mr. s:outhey's edition the first
line is given,
Hark! tie the tw.oging horn ! o'er yonder bridge—
the fourth Hue terminating with a semicolon, and the fifth
and seventh will a full point. All the early editions agree
in rendering the first line as it is given above; and the
fourth edition, which passed under Cowper's revision, has
a semicolon at the end of the fourth line, and a comma at
the end of the fifth. None of these versions appear to be
correct. The semicolon, completing the sense to the end
of the fourth line, makes the passage read, " 'Tis the
twanging horn over the bridge that estrides the flood."
A comma displacing the semicolon, restores the true
meaning. The early editions mark the opening words as
an exclamation,

Harkrtis the twanging horn!
The succeeding passage, beginning a new sentence, conse•
quently reads, " O'er yonder bridge, he comes," &c.—that is,
the postman comes.
To which we may add that correct prosody, as
well as right punctuation, demands a full stop
after the third foot of the first line, which
would otherwise be short in measure.

MR. SIDNEY HERBERT AND SENTI•

MENTAL SCRIBBLING.
WE are not surprised at the ingenious at-
tempts made to withdraw from circulation the
letter of Mr. SIDNEY HERBERT to the excellent
Miss NIGHTINGALE. Unfortunately for the
writer's reputation aa a Minister of State, the
letter is essentially a public document. An
official position is tendered to Miss NIGHTIN•
GALE. " You will also (so runs this strange
" epistle) have an unlimited power of drawing
" on the Government ;" and, further, the Daily
News reiterates the assertion of this effusion
having been lithographed. Whether the
latter be the case or not, it is quite certain
that Mr. St DNEY HERBERT has worked for us
photographic portrait of his own features as a
Secretary at—Nurse! Sentimentalists are
proverbiallx weak, but there is no necessity
for their becoming downright infantine. Until
we read the letter we did not think that any
English Minister could indite such a farrago
of tautology and flimsy style.
The length of the document is extraordi-
nary. It is longer than the elaborate plan for
the defence of Spain submitted by Sir ARTHUR

AN Amor; has been brought against Mlle. Rachel
before the French Civil Tribunal by M. Legouve, a
dramatic author, to obtain damages from her for
having refused to play in a tragedy entitled Medic
after she had accepted it, such tragedy having been
written by him expressly for her; and also to obtain
an order to her to play in the piece, under pain of
heavy damages for each day's refusal. The trial
lasted several days, and ended in a sentence par-
tially favourable to the plaintiff. The tribunal de-
cided that, on the days which the administration of
the Theatre Francais shall indicate, Rachel Felix
shall be bound to play the part awarded to her by
the author, and which she has accepted. In default
of her doing this, the tribunal condemned her to pay
Legouve 200 f. for every day's delay during two months.
The defendant was also ordered to pay the heavy
costa of the suit. Mlle. Rachel has announced her
intention of appealing against this award.
AFTER five years of uninterrupted labour, a work,
which for grandeur and solidity surpasses any other
effort of modern architecture in the States of the
Church, has just been completed in the mountains of
Albano. It is a bridge of five arcades, placed one
over another, and each as high as a house : it has
been built in order to form a direct communication
over the deep valley between Albano and Aracia, on
the road from Naples. The Pope gave his benedic-
tion to the work on the 12th nit, amidst a concourse of
several thousand persons, who had congregated from
all parts of the country to witness the ceremony.
MLLE. CRL'VELLI is about to publish a pamphlet in
which the reasons of her departure from Paris are set
forth in full, one of them being the inferior position
which she was thrown into of late at the Opera. M.
Hebert, it is said, is to be entrusted with the task of
drawing up this defence.
A PUBLISHER IN THE UNITED STATES has made
an offer to M. Mazzini for the purchase of a work, to
he entitled " Memoirs or Revolutionary Europe from
1830 to the Present Time," which it is understood M.
Mazzini is now composing. The terms offered are
4001. per volume of 400 pages, Bvo., to be paid on the
completion of each volume, with four per cent. inte-
rest in the meantime. M. Mazzini will be requested
to state beforehand the number of volumes in which
I his work will appear, and the periods at which they
will be ready.
M. DRESTCH, the composer, is about to proceed on
a tour, with a commission from the management of
the French Opera, to engage some artistes to fill up
the vacancies in the troop occasioned by various un-
toward incidents, the flight of La Cruvelli included.

There's no foundation for the news,
Whate'er the sanguine PRESS may say;
England has honour yet to lose,
And memories yet to cast away.
Dead are her laurels, dim her fame,
But destiny has yet behind
A darker doom, a fouler shame—
Lord Aberdeen has not resigned.

The scornful look and angry tone
Are vain in these degenerate days ;
Resigned ! oh, no! high hearts alone
Can rightly value blame or praise.
A nation's sneer, a nation's frown,
Might awe, might fire, a noble mind ;
Pitt would have flung his office down—
Lord Aberdeen has not resigned.

the attention of the enemy. In his position it was neces-
sary to avoid a battle, which would have hindered the
movements of his column. The prince marched with his
train and park of artillery. All these difficulties were
surmounted, and our troops had on the morningof the 25th
reached a point where the enemy did not suppose them
to be.
Our adversaries also executed, and almost at the same
time. a flank march, but under much more advantageous
circumstances. From Belbeck, and the plateau which they
occupied on the 24th, they had only to gain Mackenzie's
Farm in order to attain the route leading by a uesceut to
the Tschernaya. The enemy executed this movement with-
out being perceived by us, for the point where Mackenzie's
Farm is situated is at a distance of sixteen verats from the
spot where our forces were stationed; and, besides, it is
also covered by woody mountains.
If Prince Menschikoff had been desirous of attacking
the enemy during the march he could only have done so
by one route, which, for a distance of ten versts, is upon an
ascent from the Belbeek to Mackenzie's Farm. It would
only have been necessary for the enemy to place a few bat-
teries in a good position upon the heights to enable him
to check our attack for so long a time that the movement
of the column could not be completed without danger. The
enemy had the great advantage of marching without guns
and artillery, which, in the meantime, had been quietly
transported by sea to Balaklava. Whoever has marched
with a troop, whether an army or a battalion, will appre-
ciate the difference between advancing with and without
a train of artillery.
It was requisite that Prince Menschikoff should avoid a
combat during his movement, because the enemy was
placed in an advantageous position for it. Our adversa-
ries, on the contrary, marched in such a manner that they
would not have been inconvenienced by an attack upon
their flank, an attack which the prince, from the nature of
the territory, could not bring about without engaging in it
under unfavourable circumstances.

OPERATIONS IN THE SOUTH.

Preparations for the long-announced expedition
against Sebastopol or elsewhere were almost com-
pleted at the latest dates from Varna. The expedi-
tion itself had, however, to be postponed, some say to
the 15th inst., others to the 28th, on account of heat
and cholera. About 500 sail were at Varna or the
neighbourhood, including some large !fat-bottomed
bouts for landing artillery. The last ships destined
for the expedition left Constantinople for Varna
on the 15th, with 12,000 Turks, 2,0(R) French,
hi rses, cannon, munitions, and numerous flat-bottomed
boats. The quantity of provisions collected at Varna is
so large that 80,000 men can now undertake an expedi-
tion to the Crimea. A most important mission would,
it was rumoured, be entrusted to Generals Canrobert
and Brown, and Admiral Boxer. Marshal de St.
Arnaud and Lord Raglan will only follow with the
main army when a certain position has been secured
in the Crimea.
The Emperor Napoleon has addressed the following
proclamation to the French army in the East :

" Soldiers and Sailors of the Army of the East !—You
have not fought, but already you have obtained a signal
succeaii. Your presence and that of the English troops
have sufficed to compel the enemy to teems, the Danube,
and the Russian vessels remain ingloriously in their ports.
You have not yet fought, and already you have struggled
courageously against death. A scourge, fatal though tran-
sitory, has not arrested your ardour. France and the
Sovereign whom she has chosen cannot witness without
deep emotion, or without making every effort to give assist-
ance to, such energy and such sacrifices.
" The First Consul said, in 1797, in a proclamation to
his army --' The first quality required in a soldier is the
power of supporting fatigues and privations. Courage is
only a secondary one.' The first you are now displaying.
Who can deny you the possession of the second? There -
ore it is that your enemies, disseminated from Finland
o the Caucasus, are anxiously seeking to discover the
point upon which France and England will direct their
attacks, which they foresee will be decisive, for right,
justice, and warlike inspiration are on our side.
" Already Romarsund and 2,000 prisoners have just
fallen into our power. Soldiers ! you will follow the
example of the army of Egypt. The conquerors of the
Pyramids and Mount Thabor had, like you, to contend
I against warlike soldiers and against disease, but, in spite of

potisms," such as fill the brain of Mr. LowE,
and abandon the theory of Lord DALHOUSIE,
that a system of organised confiscation can
be conducive in any country to the public
wealth. Above all, they must surrender the
notion that a country covered like India
with the remains of ruined palaces, broken
aqueducts, and other traces of former riches
and civilisation, must necessarily be doomed
in our hands to hopeless barrenness and
poverty because the means of its restoration
happens to be matters beyond the compre-
hension of the India-house or of Sir CHARLES
WOOD.

THE EXPLOITS AT BOMARSUND.
AT length public expectation has been gratified
by the performance of exploits which sustain
the character of our maritime arm for efficiency
and nautical skill. The capture of Bomarsund
is the first event of the war, and before long
two thousand Russian prisoners will be off the
Downs. Such a fact realises the actuality of
the struggle more vividly than any previous
incident of our campaigning operations either
in Northern or South-eastern Europe. In the
first place, it is satisfactory to know that the
enemy have at last been grappled with; and,
secondly, it is impossible to examine the
difficulties of the navigation about Bomarsund
without perceiving that the recent operations
were most dangerous and difficult. All honour,
therefore, to our officers and sailors, who have
shown themselves worthy of our flag !
London, England, 1854-08-26

The whole incidents of the attack on Bomar-
sund are extremely interesting, and its details
only wanka little skilful combination to make
a brilliant picture. The glowing sunset of the
Bth instant, under whose beaming light the
troops disembarked, in presence of the two
allied veterans, General BARAOUAY D'HILLIERS
and Admiral NAPIER—the dead silence while
the steamers crept along the rock-girt coast,
with their boats stealthily sounding ahead—
the firing in the chill morning dawn from the
French and English steamers—the rapid dis-
embarkation of eleven thousand troops in
three hours into the Russian forests—all
these might have been witnessed with breath-
less anxiety by a spectator. Then, as the day
wore on, " Old Charley's " flag was shifted
alternately between the Lightning and Bulldog,
whose names symbolise the brilliant celerity
and pugnacity for which even his severest
critics give credit to NAPIER. As the Bulldog
grounded within range of the Russian guns, a
looker•on might have felt uneasy for the fate
of our British admiral, but the Russians
refrained from firing at him, whether through
design or want of perception is not stated,
though it seems to have been thought
" incomprehensible " by those present at that
rather momentous incident.

These were only the preliminary scenes of
the stirring drama. On the next day, in all
its pomp and portentous consequences, war
was visible in the glittering array of the three
regiments of our gallant allies, marshalled
under General BARAGOAY D'HILLIERS. There
is something singularly touching in the sight
of a veteran of seventy-four years of age, with
his person marked by honourable wounds,
still leading on troops to victory, and display-
ing the soldierly prowess which challenged
admiration in more youthful years. The
camp, and all its indispensable wants, seem
to have been admirably provided for. The
troops were put into immediate action, and
measures promptly taken to keep their spirits
and bodies thoroughly up to the work before
them. But the enemy on his part was not
idle, and, even at the very outset of the assault,
we find that the Russian spies were at full
work. One day a spy was caught in female
attire; and on the next the dress of a priest,
and the companionship of a lady, were as-
sumed as passports for calmly observing the
inside of our expeditionary camp. Who can
say, in presence of such highly characteristic
facts, that the sons of LOYOLA have a monopoly
of the art of training up agents with subtle
brains and audacious spirit?

lant preparations, on the 13th inst. the born-

bardment really began, and then, for the first '
time, " an intelligent foreigner" might have
doubted whether Lord ABERDEEN was still at
the head of a British Cabinet. The French
plied their guns with a happy combination of
military enthusiasm and engineering science.
Their chasseurs used their deadly weapons
with terrible precision of aim, and the
beleaguered Russians felt that neither the
excessive intricacies of the navigation, nor
the natural strength of their position, could
save them from inevitable defeat. Surrender
was a mere question of time. Within nine
days narrow channels had been carefully
buoyed and sounded, an expedition landed,
a camp formed, heavy artillery dragged up
from the ships-of-war (an operation in which
' NAPIEB has more experience than any living
man), and, after a strategic survey, the final
assault triumphantly made at an extremely
small loss to the attacking party.
But it may be said that Bomarsund is not
Cronstadt, and, that the ease of taking the
first is no argument against the invincibility
of the last. Without here discussing the
practicability of carrying Cronstadt, we desire
to fix attention on the fact of the success
gained by landing an armed force at Bomar-
sund. If at au earlier period our present
Cabinet had resolved on the combination of a
military with a naval force in the Baltic,
events would have advanced more rapidly,
and the public would have been saved from
many doubts and much heartburning. But,
in the meanwhile, let us all join in awarding
the meed of merit to the French and English
combatants engaged in this triumphant ex-
ploit. Long may such brilliant feats continue
to distinguish their exertions, worthy of the
ancestral glories of the two great nations
under whose combined standards they have
signalised at once their personal valour and
matchless military skill!

THE Tutextm Exmarrios.—At any time this exhi-
bition is an interesting study, but of an evening by
artificial light it is expected to be most attractive.
From the bad arrangement of the light, however, the
effect, during our last visit, was considerably marred :
there is too much light, which, glaring fiercely upon
every corner of the room, becomes insupportable.
The light, to be effective, should in this case be
subdued, so as to cast a warm tint upon the figures,
and soften their outlines as well as define their
shadows. In no part of the room is this advantage
obtained, except in the bath-room, where the lights,
being enclosed in glass globes, have a subdued influ-
ence, peculiarly effective, and of undeniable advantage
to the wax models. We regret, for the sake of the
exhibitors, that the exhibition was not opened earlier
in the year, but we do not doubt that winter and the
ensuing season will bring great patronage to such a
perfect illustration of Eastern life.
Tar POLYTECHNIC.-ThiS popular exhibition has
lately come under the direction of a new manage-
ment, and, from a number of additions and improve-
ments to its amusements, has assumed a novel and
improved character. In addition to the usual me-
chanical models and experiments with the diving-
bell, electricity, Sze., the new managers have now
introduced a series of instructive lectures on optics,
at the same time combining some very interesting
experiments with the new optical apparatus of M.
Duboscq. In these experiments the refraction of
rays of light, the different effect of convex lenses and
concave mirrors, and the beauties of the prism, are
very perfectly illustrated. There are, besides, some
very pretty dissolving views, comprising one series
of the Baltic and Black Seas, and another of views
upon the River Loire, after Turner's sketches. But
the point upon which the new management claim
peculiar zominendation is the institution of a course
of scientific lectures, delivered by distinguished lec-
turers every Monday evening ; and to these lectures
mechanics, and their families, belonging to the fac-
tories and workshops of the metropolis are admitted
upon the reduced charge of sixpence each. Two-
lectures have already been given ; and it was satis-
factory to find that upon each occasion the lecture-
room was crowded by men of the industrial class,
who are not slow to obtain information when the
opportunity is offered to them.
