" You have stated to your Ministers that you
' have not only to issue orders, on the advice of your
responsible advisers, for the suppression of the re■
bellion, the punishMent of prisoners, &c., to the

attractions as the months go on. " Oswald
Gray" is likely to increase rather than diminish Mrs
Wood's reputation, and the part before us exhibits very
vividly the wretchedness of disappointed speculators. Dr
Wynter, who is so well known for his power of blending
information and entertainment, has an article on " The
Water Supply of London," which is very well worth read-
ing. A senior Wrangler discourses to us on the " Give
and Take of Life," the meaning of which abstruse title we
leave our readers to discover. "An Invalid's Winter in
Algeria" takes a peep at the French colony, and a paper by
Isaac Taylor suggests some pleasant ways of turning the
long evenings t) profit. Thoughts by the Lake of Ginne-
saret are sirni?le and consoling to the way,vorn toilers of
this work-a•da3 world. " Worth a Leg" isan interesting
sketch of real life, drawn from the records of an hospital
experience. Mr Gesso's " Year at the Shore" moves
steadily on, and there are other papers of various cha-

that an army of 10,000 Eoglish troops has been
placed at your disposal for objects of great. Imperial
concern, and not for the attainment of any merely
local object; that your responsibility to the Crown
is paramount, and that you will not continue the
expendituro of blood and treasure longer than is
absolutely necessary for the establishment of a just
and enduring peace;' and alio that in my despatch
of the 27th of June, when I had received an hafts•
Lion of the unfortunate difference between yourself
and your advisers, but without the full particulars

stated that while I fully 'recognized tha general

THE QUARTERLY REVIEW. No. 231, The
connection between words and meanings is the sub-
ject of an interesting essay founded on a work
recently published by Mr Isaac Taylor, entitled
" Words and Places." In it he gives some curious
instances of the origin and derivation of names,
justly observing that the fundamental truth to be adhered
to in all such researches is that there is no such thing as a
name consisting of mere arbitrary sounds. His critic, in
commenting on this passage, remarks that " names of per-
sons and names of places were once alike significant, or in-
tended to be so—hence the great value of them as memorials
of language and of historical facts. They etten, too, pre-
serve old forms of speech ; though passing frequently from
hand to hand as symbols without a special sense, they are
apt to be worn and altered by constant friction." The
writer remarks on the poverty of invention shown in the
nomenclature of a new country, as evidenced in America,
where the confusion produced is great by not only naming
places after spots in the Old World, but by the frequent
repetition of the same name in the States themselves.
Twenty-five Troys, twenty-two Dovers, thirteen Romes,
and the same number of Rochesters, one hundred and
thirty-eight Washingtons, and one hundred and thirty
Jacksona must be rather perplexing to the most accomplished
topographers. Perhaps the great civil war will supply
them with a crop of heroes to substitute for the exhausted
stock of old ones. Even the names of stuffs have usually
some foundation which it is interesting to the philologist to
trace. Calico and damask are easily referred to Calicut
and Damascus, while chintz owes its origin to the Hindus-
tan word for colour, and cambric, diaper, and gauzo are
traceable respectively to Cambray, d'Ypres, and Gaza. A
memoir of Ludwig Uhland records the life of an honest and
high-minded man. The article is enriched with numerous
quotations from his writings, many of which, however, are,
thanks to the translators, not unfamiliar to English readers.
The career of the celebrated preacher of Notre Dame is
the subject of another biographical paper, which bears tee•
timony to the eloquence, the fervour, the sincerity of the
gifted Frenchman. A carefully ssritten essay on our
public schools examines very fully the report of the Com-
missioners, and enters into the subject of the requirements
of schools and scholars in a manner that shows good sense
and familiar knowledge of the subject. Among the other
papers are articles on " Christian Art" and on " The Cir-
cassia,/ Exodus." •

I considered that, while active operations are being
carried on under the conduct of her Majesty's
officers, and in the main by her Majesty's military
and naval forces, it was for the Government per•
sonally, as representative of the Imperial Govern-
ment, to decide upon the fate of persons who were
taken prisoners in the course of these military
operations.' The question of responsible Govern.
ment in a colony where' in ordinary times the civil
and internal policy is directed by the Ministers,
but where in cases of emergency the safety of the
inhabitants is secured, and peace and order are ref
stored, by the aid of the naval and military forces
of her Majesty, is not a question to be discusse&in
argument at a moment like the present. Whatever
may be the precise limits of the authority vested in
the Ministers, and of the power and responsibility
of the Governor as the servant of the Crown of Eng-
land, an army like that now operating in New Zeas

land has not been sent to the colony, and will not
be maintained there, subject to any other authority
than of the Crown, and you appear to me rightly to
interpret your position in the observationswhich you
have addressed to your Ministers in the minute
to which I have referred. Your duty as repre-
sentative of your Sovereign is to take such measures
as may, in your judgment, be best calculated to put
down rebellion, to restore peace and order, and to
stop the expenditure of blood and treasure, When
you shall have accomplished these objects, and the
army, maintained at so great a sacrifice, shall have
been reduced to the moderate numbers suited for
the times of regular and peaceful administration

THE BRITISH ARMY AND NAVY REVIEW.—This
is an interesting number of a well written maga-
zine. It opens with the first number of a series of
papers on Celebrated Trials connected with the
army and navy, in which is given an excellent
account, of Captain Kidd, a famous pirate in the West In-
dies some century and a half ago. "Military Ballads," an
inspiriting theme, form the subject of the next paper, which
is well worth reading. The survey of Lee's second cam-
paign in defence of Richmond does honour to the military
discernment of the soldier and to the ability of his historian.
In contrast to the record of Lee's achievements we have
further on a memoir of Gen. Ulysses Grant, which gives a
brief account of his chequered and eventful career. It is
unfortunate that, like most of the American generals, ho is
given to excess in drink, but his promotion has nevertheless
been rapid. Among the remaining papers are articles on
"Our Married Soldiers," and " The New French Cruisers."
THF. ECLECTIC.—A lengthened criticism on the
new work of Tennyson aryl Browning will attract
most readers. It is a careful criticism, enriched by copious
extracts from both authors. The labour difficulty in the
tropics is a question of much moment, fully considered,
Among he other papers of general interest are articles on
Australian expleratious„and Max Muller's " Mountain of
Languages."
THE SIXPENNY MAGAZINE.—The singular story
of " Singed Moths" is brought to a e•mclusion,
whieh is tolerably satisfactory, seeing that most of the
m dim provide themselves with newer and better wings.
The other stories, among which Barry O'Byrne occupies
a prominent place, are continued as usual. We have also
an episode of the days of Cromwell, the description of a
Russian Fete, en account of gigantic races, and other
miscellaneous articles. The Editor certainly wakes a libe-
ral provision for his readers.
THE ENGLISHWOMAN'S DOMESTIC MAGAZINE.—
This is a very attractive little serial, with elegantly
coloured illustrations of fashion and needlework.
The remarkable story of " Mildred's Wedding," whichun-
doubtedly belongs to the sensational school, is continued,
and " A History of Perfumery and the Toilet" will attract
its fair readers. Those who ridicule the costumes of the
present (lay should look at the picture of what extrava-
gances Fashion can go to as shown in the headdresses of the
last century.
THE BOYS' OWN MAGAZINE, THE BOYS'
MONTHLY MAGAZINE. Beet on.—EVERY BOY'S
MAGAZINE. Routledge. —Between these three
serials, devoted expressly to their entertainment,
the boys of our day have no reason to complain. They are
all of fair average merit, and well calculated to amuse their
readers at the same time that they extend their knowledge
n various directions.

her Majesty's Government will not be desirous to,
withdraw from the Colonial Ministers any part of
that authority in the conduct of native affairs which
has been already vested in their hands. Of the
policy of realising Ti•ori-ori, or some, and, if so,
how many, of the other prisoners—of the credence
to be attached to the statements of native messen-
gers respecting Rewi, and of the effect which the
detention of the prisoners as hostages may have had
in preventing hostile operations, or murderous out.
rages, on the part of any of their friends—it is not
possible to judge without that knowledge of the cir.
cumstances which only presence on the spot can
give—and. even if I possessed that knowledge, I
should feel that it was extremely hazardous to give
you positive instructions from home, to be carried
into effect after an interval of five months from the
time at which yon had reported the circumstances
to me, and when, therefore, the most material
changes in those circumstances must have inevit-
ably occurred. What Ido feel it to be my duty to
say to you plainly is that the aid of the mother
country in men and in money is given to the colony,
on the understanding that the military measures
which have unhappily become necessary shall be
directed by you, in concert with the distinguished
General i❑ command. I shall be perfectly ready to
suppert you in any measures which, not breaking
positive law of the colony, and after consulting
with the General, you may have thought it neces-
sary to take on this subject. I earnestly trust, how-
ever, that that sense of consideration due to your
position to which your memorandum of the 29th of
April you appeal, will have been manifested by your
advisers, and that, more especially when they shall
have received the full and deliberate statement
of the views of her Majesty's Government con-
veyed to you in my despatch of the April 26 last,
they will cordially co-operate with you in the trea-
sures which you may feel called upon to adopt in
pursuance of your instructions. lam confirmed in
this hope by the assurances which Mr R. Wood, on
the part of his colleagues and himself, has given me,
as you will have seen in his letter to Sir F. Rogers,
and by the tone which Mr R. Wood has uniformly
maintained in his frequent communications with me
during his stay in England. I cannot for one mo-
ment believe that your Ministers will be actuated
by any other feeling than a patriotic desire to aid
you to the utmost in their power ; and I trust that,
even when their opinions may differ from your own,
a paramount sense of public duty will induce them
to forget these differences, and cordially to support
your efforts and those of Gen. Cameron to promote
the cause which, equally with yourself, they have
at heart."

THE HISTORY OF ENGLAND. By Lord Macaulay.
People's Edition. Part XII. Longman.—There
is nothing to be said of this except that it is the
continuation of the popular issue of this world-famous
work, and that it is printed with the care and excellenee
that usually distinguish the publications of Messrs. Long-
man.

THE WORKING MEN'S CLUB AND INSTITUTE
MAGAZINE. No. 1. Jarrold and Sons, Paternos-
ter-row.—The need of an official organ for these
increasing societies has, it seems, been long felt, and the
magazine before us attempts to supply the deficiency. It
contains a good deal of interesting matter relating to such
institutions, and gives all the intelligence of the month con-
cerning them.
THE LONDON CITY MISSION MAGAZINE.—The
present number is exc,usively occupied with the
narrative of the missionary who attends our police courts in
the hope of doing some good. There are many painful
stories to be learned there, and the account of the cases
which he watched may suggest something to the social re-
, former. _

The Present Commercial Crisis,

CASSELL'S PrilizlcAzioNs.—The Illustrated Goldsmith,
History of England, Bunyan, Popular Education, and
Natural History, this month are quite up to their predc.
cessors, both in variety and beauty of illust ration.
ENOIIIRE WITHIN is a very useful little serial, and one
abounding with information.
THE LIFEBOAT MAGAZINE, published by the National
Lifeboat Institution, this month presents its readers with a
Wreck Chart of the British Isles, some very excellent
literary articles, contributed by Admiral Fitzroy and other
well known writers.

in-Chief and Sir R. Napier have we understand, vigor-
ously opposed the proposal for military retrenchments.
They point to Nepaul, Hyderabad, the Rojpootana States,
and Affghanistan as the tkurces of future danger to India.
But Sir John, we learn, in three able minutes, has hurried
into pieces the specious arguments of the military members.
He has demonstrated that their fears are quite chimerical,
and that the arrangements proposed by him under the
guidance of a military chief who keeps his eyes open and
knows his duty will render India perfectly safe. Sir C.
Trevelyan
,and other members of Council have zealously
supported the Governor-General. All the minutes and
papers on the subject have been transmitted to the Secre-
tary of Stale, who we have no doubt will fully appreciate
the force of Sie John's reasoning.—Llindoo Patliot of
