THE ART JOURNAL.

This splendid periodical contains, as usual, a num-
ber of splendid engravings ; among them the statue of
" Highland Mary," by B. E. Spence, the head of "A
PerAtan Warrior," by William itty, and "The
1-10iffl: for the Watch," by W. Bird—the two latter
paintings in the Vernon Gallery. Sew ral minor illus-
trations, such as the specimens of German Artists,
and the drawing of " Spes," as imagined by Professor
Macke of Dusseldort—lend their embeliishment to
the pages of the publication. Karel du Jardin is the
" Great Master of Art," whose works are represented
this month in a series of charming woodcuts. The
letter-press is more than usually intelligent.

THE GENTLEMAN'S MAGAZINE AND
HISTORICAL REVIEW.
The criticism ou the " Life of Dr. Chalmers," by
his son-in-law, the Rev. William Hanna, is here con-
cluded. In the " Wanderings of •an Antiquary"
there is a detailed account of Pevensay Castle.
There is an interesting chapter on " Godfrey William
Leibnitz," by Francis Harwell, which must be wel
come to all students. The article on a revived.manu-
facture of coloured glass us.efl in ancient windows,
which was read at t:te meeting of the Royal likti-
tute of British Arcintcct•, gives a greai-, deal of
previously unknown discoveries on the methods- used
by the ancients. It; has been ascertained that the
purple blue Vas formed by cobalt, and not lapis
hitnerro asserted. In the " Correspondence
of Sylvanus Urban" there is a variety of anti•
quarian researches and curious accounts. •

LE ULLET.
This journal contains as usual three charming
plates and several sales anti verses. The best of these
is " Widdy Carroll's Lament," which describes the
sorrow of a poor Irishwoman at selling her pig before
emigrating.

THE BIOGRAPHICALIIIAGAZLIV E. Vol.
IL—Nos. 7 and 8.
These two numbers conthin, among other interesting
1 ive9, biographies of William Wordsworth, Joseph
Hume, and Thomas Ingoidsby.

TEE COLONIAL AND ASIATIC REVIEW.
This is the second number of this magazine, which
is entirely devoted to the consideration of the affairs
of the colonies. "Australia and its Gold Fields"
occupy a prominent place, and most of the remaining
articles treat of India and its inhabitants. The de
gcription given of "A Happy Valley" in New Zea-
land is most attractive to the adventurous, and " A
Treatise on the Screw Propeller" will interest the
scientific.

THE ENGLISHMAN'S MAGAZINE. No. I.

This is the first number of a magazine which is
intended " to supply the long-felt want of a monthly
periodical of sterling merit, at the very low price
which the present facilities for cheap production now
render practicable." It is written in a very superior
style, and there, are articles on several interesting
subjects. Among these may be noticed a biography
of the late Mr. Sheil, and•a literary parallel of Pas-
cal, Dante, and Milton. It will therefore be seen that
is is devoted to the consideration of subjects of a dif-
ferent class to the trifling and ordinary ones which
usually occupy the pages of cheap miscellanies. We
trust that, as the editor observes, a large sale alone
can make such a project successful, that his hope
may be realised in its being favourably received by
the public.

FREAKS OF IMAGINATION. Part 1.
Ttle present number of this batch of original tales,
by Jocundui Steelnib, comprises "The Lawyer's
Clerk," " The Unjustly Accused," and " The Doc-
tor and his• Patients." The work, which is rife with
excellent matter, will,be concluded in the next num-
ber, the last and Eighth story being " A Trip to the
Moon."
