of pi--nectiun will have been reached in telegraphy ten years
hence. Th apprehensitn of Tawell was in its day
wonder; but how inefficient the power of giving a vellal
description of the murderer compared with that of forward•
ing his very portrait I "Herrings and Herring FisherY
are talked of, and a paper on "Microscopic Fungi" is pro-
fusely illustrated. For social science we have an essay
from the pen of De. Lankester, displaying his usual scald
sense and practical knowledge on the very important ques-
tion of proper clothing,

THE ROSE, THE SHAMROCK, AND THE THISTLE•
—!'his is a very well edited and well got up Ma"
i;.zine, which is none the less able to bear criti-
cism and examination that it is entirely printed by
feminine hands. Its clear and well read pages are
certainly unquestionable evidence in favour of woman's
aptitude for the tyr.o4r dphical art. The literary contents
of the magazine are of a very fair order, and there is Do
lack of entertaining and interesting stories to amuse the
reader. The principal tale Jacob Morriston," has alrendi
attracted some notice.

THE SIXPENNY MAGAZINE has its usual liberal
alluw4uce of contents. Barry' o.Byrne, one of the
principal items, has not fu,fi led the promise of itB
opening, being improbable and far-fetched in its incidents.
" Singed IVl,irlas" is also proceeded with, but the pre•
tentious sh. riff awl his family grow somewhat wearisome'
A. good many mysteries remain to he unravelled. " Item.
brandr's Pupil" is an interesting sketch, and there is on
abund.nt supply of short and readable papers on a varietY
of topics.

EVERY BOYS' MAGAZINE.—Thie little serial i 9
certain ,frf a good supply of readers were it only for
its narrative and illustration of the tragedy of the Flowery'
Land. The story of the defenc3 of Kars, and a paper on
the Microscope, are among the contents
NEWT N'S LONDON JOURNAL OF ARTS AO
SCIENCES.—The usual essay in this serial is devoted
to Benson's machine-made cask factory, and gives conl°
astonishing statistics of the immense demand that exi3t6
for casks of all descriptions. The usual lists of patents,
scientific notices, &e., are given as usual.

THE ECLECTIC —The Eclectic is less generally
attractive than usual. Among its moat readable papers
one on " A piece of Old World Biography."

THE AUTOGRAPHIC MIRROR.—The first part
contains facsimiles of the handwriting of James
1.. Sir Andrew Sinclair, Pitt, Fox, Sir Walter
Scott, Professor Wilson, Thomas Aird (the poet)►
Humboldt, Litbig, General Garibaldi, Sir Tnomas
Lawrence, Rosa Bonheur, Meyerbeer, and Belle, besides
two sketches by the late Mr. Thackeray. Many of the
documents will be read with interest, preceded as they are
by a brief but well written memoir.

THE BRITISH ARMY REVIEW.—The April num'
bPr contains sever it excrflient articles on Savage
Warfare, Torturing in the Army, the never-t p-be-forgotten
Crawley Court Martial, &e., &d, The miscellaneous sura.

news.

The April numbers of ItJutlpdge's Illustrated
Sh ,kspere and Ltusirat,d N-►rural History are
quite up to their predecessors, both for beauty and variety
of engraving, and the "Events of the Month" will be found
as usual both instructive and entertaining.
