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 bead of " A
Persian Warrior," by William tty, and " The
R.ffiA for the Watch," by W. Bird—the two latter
paintings in the Vernon Gallery. Several minor illus-
trations, such as the specimens of German Artists,-
and the drawing of " Spes," as imagined by Professor
Mucke of Dusseldorf—lend their embellishment 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 on 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 Pevensey 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 used in ancient windows,
which was read at the meeting of the Royal Insti-
tute of British Architects, gives a great deal of
previously unknown discoveries on the methods used
by the ancients. It has been ascertained that the
purple blue was formed by cobalt, and not lapis
tezuli, as hitherto asserted. In the " Correspondence
of Sylvanus Urban" there is a variety of anti•
(parkin researches and curious accounts.

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

THE BID GR APHIC ALMAGAZIN E. Vol.
H.—Nos. 7 and 8.
These two numbers contain, among other interesting
lives, biographies of 'William Wordsworth, Joseph
Hume, and Thomas Ingoldsby.

THE 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
soription 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 magailne 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. Shelf, and a literary parallel of Pas-
cal, Dante, and Milton. It will therefore be seen that
it 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 succes-ful, that his hope
may be realised in its being favourably received by
the public.

FREAKS OF IMAGIIVATIOIV. Part 1.
The present number of this batch of original tales,
by Jocundus 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."
