The Fisherman's Magazine is replete with infor-
mation and instruction. It will doubtless become a
great favourite with every true angler. In the
Social Science _Review, a paper on the diseases of
' over-worked men is continued, in addition to which there
are rxany other articles which cannot be read but with profit.
Le Pone is as usual full of the most piquant illustrations
for the present season. The monthly part of the Gardener's
Weekly Magazine make a very readable book for those
interested in horticulture. The great attraction of the pre-
sent number is the paper read by Mr S. Broome, of chry-
santhemum celebrity, and gardener to the Inner Temple,
un "Bedding Plants and Town Gardening." It is ex-
ceedingly interesting, end, moreover, the information it
conTeys is given in such a clear and understandable manner,
that every amateur will be under great obligations to Mr
Browne for the many hints and directions given in the
paper. Of itsolf it forms a perpetual dirt ctory for the
management of a garden all the year round. Cassells's
publications—" The History of En7,land" " Illustrated
Shakspere," " Robinson t rusoe ,
," " Bib!e Dictionary,"
" Illustrated Goldsmith," "Popular Natural History,"
and "Popular Educa or," are all this month of th,ir usual
excellence. The beauty of the wood engravings, paper, and
typography has secured for each a large circulation.

Luttrell of ArWzn. By Charles Lever. No. 7.

In the last number of this periodical, Sir Wither
Warble invited Ada Vyner and Kate O'Hara to
spend a day at his castle, with the ostensible object
of showing them his curiosities, but in reality to
give Kate an opportunity of consulting him upon
her future prospects. The first chapter of this part
contains a description of their reception and Sir Wither's
courteous attentions. Sir Wither is without question the
beet drawn character in the tale, and Mr. Lever deserves
great credit for having so cleverly pourtrayed an eminent
retired diplomatist. He is all confidence and affection with
his ward, Kate, at this interview, and promises to forward
her wishes, and mentally eetermines to frustrate the deep
laid plot of Georgina to effect her dismissal to her friends,
that is relatives, in Ireland. To accomplish this he invites
that unfortunate lawyer, Mr M'Kinlay, to dinner, and over
their wine he proceeds to draw out the cautious man
of parchments. The way in which the old diplomatist
circumvents his antagonist is by awakening doubts and
jealousy of the woman to whose hand he had been aspiring;
he contrives to obtain all the information that he required,
and eventually dismisses the lawyer a sadder if not a wiser
man. This is the best written chapter we have yet found
in this periodical, and redounds much to the author's credit.
The illustrations are well executed. The first represents
the " happy dream" of a young girl, who has as yet had no
experience of the world, sitting in a chair, and building, her
future fortunes in her Bleep.

Visit of the prince and Princess of Wales
to Cambridge.

On Friday evening their Royal Highnesses dicedpri-
vately, as already stated, at Trinity Lodge. The duty of
entertaining the newly created doctors and other distin-
guished visitors was undertaken by Camas College. As long
ago as the time of old Christopher Smart this college was
styled the "Culinary Caius," and now, in addition to its
traditional cuisine, it enjoys the advantage of a fine new
dining hall. The Combination Room and Master's Lodge
were both put into requisition for the assembling of the
numerous guests, who were assisted in finding theft places
by one of the plans or programmes in which the week's ar-
rangements proved so fertile, About 140 sat down to dinner,
and the company included the Duke of Rutland, Duke and
Duchess of Manchester, Earl Granville, Marquis Camden,
Marquis of Hartington, Lord and Lady Spencer, Lord and
Lady Hardwicke and Lady Agneta Yorke, Lord Carnarvon,
Lord and Lady G. Cavendish, Lords R. and E. Cavendish,
Lord and Lady Royston, Bishop of Lichfield and Miss
Lonsdale, Bishop of Ely and Mrs Browne, Lord and Lady
Wenlock, Mr and Lady Mildred Beresford Hope, Lord
and Lady Rollo, Mr Adeane, M.P., and Lady Elizabeth
Adeane, Dean of Westminster and Lady Augusta Stan-
ley, Mr Walpole, M.P., and Mrs Walpole, Mr Selwyn,
M.P., &c. -
The arrangements were as far as possible those of a pri-
vate party, and there were no speeches.
At half-past 7 o'clock a second series of performances
was given by the members of the A.D.C., with a success not
inferior to that attained on the previous evening; and at 10
o'clock the demonstration at Cambridge in honour of their
Royal Highnesses culminated in the ball given by Trinity
College. This brilliant entertainment, compared by mem-
bers of the Royal party to the Guards Ball, which has
attained so prominent a niche in the temple of festi-
vities, was held under a marquee covering the entire
of Neville's-court, advantage being taken of the
cloisters or piazzas surrounding this court on three sides to
form continuous avenues richly draped and ornamented,
where the guests could promenade or repose at pleasure.
The large marquee and awnings, furnished by Edgington,
were lighted by spreading circles of gas, with glass shades,
to subdue the glare. The crimson tint thrown down from
the walls and ceiling of this spherical apartment, 130 ft long
by 90ft wide, exercised a wonderful effect in mellowing the
hues of the many-coloured assembly, and in winning the
very atmosphere to harmony with their pursuits. About
1,100 guests were present, among those included in the
Royal circle being the Duke of Cambridge, the Chancellor
of the University and Lady Louisa Cavendish, Lord and
Lady Hardwicke, the Duke and Duchess of Manchester,
the Duke of Rutland, Lord and Lady Palmerston, Lord
Granville, Lord and Lady Fitzwilliam, Lord and Lady
Spencer, Lord Powis, Marquis Camden, Marquis of Hart-
ington, Lord Newry, &c. Dancing began immediately after
the arrival of the Royal party, who were very early in their
attendance, and was kept up with spirit, to the s'aains of
Jullien's band, on the part of the general company, until
four o'clock. On this occasion her Royal Highness laid
aside the sombre dress that she had worn during the pre-
vious portion of her visit, and appeared in rich evening cos-
tume of white, with headdress and necklace of brilliants, It
was remarked with satisfaction that notwithstanding the
amount of exertion entailed by the day's proceedings fewer
traces of fatigue were visible than on the former evening.
Supper, with the details of which Mr. Gunter was charged,
was served about one o'clook, in the spacious hall of the
college. The approach to this from the ball-room was by
a flight of steps upon which huu 'reds of v,.luab.e plants
given by Mr. Standi-h of the Royal Nurseries, Ascot, and
by Mr. Waterer, of Bagshot, were so arranged es to sug-
gest the idea of a balcony or tribune. The effect produced
was cue of the most noticeable features in arrangements
thrcnghout characterised by excellent taste. About half-
plst two o'clock their Royal Highnesses retired to
the state rooms fitted up for their accommodation in the
Master's Lodge, the same which her I\l.jesty occupied on
her visits to Cambridge in 1843 and 1817, The more aris-
tocratic portion of the assembly took its departure shortly
afterwards, and as carriage after carriage with its lights and
servitors flashed out of the ancient gateway, it was difficult
to believe that some grand West-end gathering was not dis-
solving, and that the scene then coming to an end really
occurred within the tranquil precincts of the University,
On Friday night what for the sake of distinction may be
called the public portion of the visit to Cambridge ended,
and if the universal pleasure it afforded and the smoothness
with which all passed off be accepted as tests, no doubt can
exist of its entire success. The weather from first to last
was favourable, and there was not a hitch of any kind in
the arrangements. Everything took place at the time fixed,
and in passing from point to point there was not the least
obstruction. The authorities, aware that the tranquillity
of their ordinary life was by no means a good preparation
for the crowding and excitement of a Royal visit, placed
themselves, as far as external preparations were concerned,
unreservedly in the hands of the A division. To Superin-
tendent Walker, the head of that division, upon whom de-
volved the duty of organizing and executing all the details,
an official communication was made expressing thanks and
satisfaction with the results attained by his energetic super-
vision.

Mr. .nomford's Hounds. By the Author o:

"Handley Cross." Part 11.

Mr. Romford having paid a visit to the kennels,
and not thinking much of the hounds, determined to
draft them as soon as possible. After feeling his
way in the dark for information, Mr. Romford
eventually succeeds in establishing a footing as master of
hounds, and does a pretty fair stroke of business; but a
change is evidently about to take place. He has been too
clever in horse-dealing, and if he has not got himself into
any legal trouble, at least he has certainly forfeited the high
character that he had claimed. Mr. Sponge was repre-
sented as a man who, when horses were in the way, had no
very strict ideas with regard to the rights of mourn and
teem, but Mr. Romford beats him hollow, and chuckles
over his success; but that success does not last long, and
the members of the hunt were indignant. Mr. Sponge sold
horses to flats and fools; Mr. Romford did better, he waited
for flats and fools to come to him. Lucy, as we anticipated,
will presently be introduced into the tale.

The Gallery of Geography ; Pictorial and Descrtp-
tzve. Part VIII. By the Rev. Thomas Milner,
M.A. Chambers.

This very excellent serial fully reaches the stan-
dard generally attained by all educational and in-
structive works issued by the Messrs. Chambers.
It fully bears out its title by being pictorial and
descriptive in a high degree, and many of its engravings are
really admirable. It must not be supposed that it is merely
a schoolbook for the young, since it is far more adapted to
the requirements of older readers. Its style is clear
and good, and enriched by numerous quotations. The
author has, however, no need to call in the assistance of
other writers. since he is well versed in his subject, and
gives those minute details of the manners and habits of the
people, which give an air of vitality to books of travel. This
present number is devoted to the northern part of Germany,
so that it will be very acceptable to many who wish to
brush up their knowledge of the relative positions and for-
tunes of those cities and states.

On Saturday, shortly after 12 o'clock, the Prince and
Princess of Wales paid a visit privately to the library of

party drove to
where during
his stay at Cambridge as an undergraduate his Royal
Highness took up his residence. At this point the Hun-
tingdon Mounted Rifles, commanded by the Duke
of Manchester, enjoyed the well-earned distinction
of being reviewed by the Prince of Wales. The review did
not indeed take place on Lady King's demense, as there ap-
peared to be an impression that a body of cavalry so well
appointed might destroy the turf. But a field close at hand
was found for the purpose, in which an opportunity was
afforded to those good swordsmen, and still better horsemen,
of displaying their proficiency. His Royal Highness ex-
pressed great satisfaction with all that he had seen, and re-
quested that his acknowledgements and those of the Princess
might be conveyed to the corps for the part they had borne
in a reception so highly gratifying. From Madingley-hall
the Royal party returned to Magdingley Cottage, where they
launched with the master, the Hon. and Rev. L. Neville.
The thoroughfares leading to the railway station were nearly
as crowded as on the day of the public entry, and the
University Volunteers, under the command of Colonel
Baker, attended, as on the former occasion, to line the plat-
form as a guard of honour. The Heads of Colleges, who
were supposed to have taken leave of their Royal High-
nesses the previous evening, surprised the Royal party by
attending at the railway to see them depart, and as the dig-
nitaries of the University, fully robed, formed the nucleus
of a fashionably•dressed assembly, the scene presented to
the Royal party on their arrival was very brilliant, The
station-master, whose admirable arrangements during the
visit to Cambridge are entitled to recognition, had a special
train in waiting, to which was attached the elegant saloon

pants of the carriages. At Hitchin, where a delay of a
few minutes took place, a little incident occurred -very
characteristic of the relations between the Royal family
and the English people. Just as the train was about to
move on again, a bouquet of white and red roses was thrown
towards the window of the Royal carriage. Its appearance
showed that it had come from a humble garden, and not
from a conservatory. It was a small bouquet, and it fell
short. A railway Forter, unwilling that it should lie on the
rails to be crushed, or possibly with seine indefinite notion
of finding the owner and returning it, picked it up and
carried it along in his hand. Bat the occurrence had been
e
seen from the Reyal carriage. Tia was made to call back
the porter and to take in the bouquet, and as the train sped
on its way, the renewed intensity of the cheering from the
platform showed what pleasure had been given by this
hasty but spontaneous act of courtesy.

SPLENDID FlSHlNG.—General Grey was out on
Monday angling on the Invercauld fishing ground.
In tha course of a few hours the general was successful
in landing with the rod no fewer than nine splendid
salmon. The spot where they were caught was the Clarak
Pool, close beside the Old Bridge of Invercauld,—Duredee
