BLACKWOOD.--" Cornelius O'Dowd upon Men
and Things," as usual brings before us the chief
objects of note which engage public attention for
the moment. Conspicuous among these is the
" Security of the Rail ;" but in the advices here
met with the colloquial writer is not so smart as
usual. He totally repudiates the proposal of adopting
means for the passengers to summon the guard as un-
tenable—the reasons against this sensible plan being that
stupidly nervous persons will be perpetually calling fur
everything. This is most unlikely, for it is a poor joke to
encounter an ill-tempered official, and the repetition of
useless signals will not improve the temper of any one.
Surely human life and the comfort and convenience of tra-
vellers ought to be ranked higher than the red-tapist no-
tions of persons who are prejudiced against all change.
" Take care of the Pence and the Pounds will, etc.", is
turned to very good account in descanting upon the rigour
with which examinations are required from subordinates,
while the heads of departments may revel in ignorance and
incappity to any extent. " Centenaries and Commemora-
tions" is another admirable sketch, and the pungent satire
of the humorous limner is of course heightened by the re-
collection of the egregious failures of this year's attempts to
tack little names to a great one. The Florentines are about
to celebrate a commemoration of Dante. But it is said—
granted their taste and appreciation—" what can they say
for Dante that his works have not said immeasurably better ?
how proclaim the fame that already fills the earth ? Surely
the lovers of these rites and observances may well pause
and ask themselves these plain questions before they parade
the littleness of the present in the face of the greatness of
the past, and as O'Dowd states, seek to add to the
fury of the gale with their bellows." Max Muller's
second series is discussed here in a suitable style. The
lectures on the " Science of Language " are most deserving
of attention, and, despite hero and there some exaggera-
tion, there is much to inform and interest in their learned
and comprehensive contents. It is truly said here that the
study of the science of language, as its own great and legi-
timate interest. This volume, that abounds in " valuable
remarks and curious etymologies," will be of great service to
the ignorant, and a treasure trove to the intellectual and
cultivated reader. " The Life of Jesus," is a paper on the
celebrated work of M. Renan. It is treated in the only
manner in which such a book could be handled with grace,
deliberation, and decided censure. It meets the philosopher
on his own ground, and contemplates his paradise of the
future to prove its instability and unsoundnesa. Had
science done her best, sanitary and otherwise, and reciprocal
support been rea:ised in its highest ideal, the most intimate
and profound of human nsiseries would still remain to be
somehow provided for. This is the surest test of a doctrine
and mode of belief—how will it work in adversity and stand
by when all else fails? " Tony Butler" is continued, the
missing despatch has quite now pleased the hero, who
rushes into the wildest extremes. Some of the sketches
of Italian intrigues aro very aptly delineated. "In the
Garden" is a painful sketch of the waning glories of this
season, that is very appropriate, and reproduces the
vanished forms of loveliness and splendour as they stood in
their " august perfection," and looked in the " freshness
of June." The Public Schools Report is devoted to the
consideration of the London Schools. It will be found to
be very interesting, and some readers will meet with
details of which they are ignorant in the diversi-
fied intelligence thus imparted in an agreeable
fashion. ',Vo are led to much the same opinion that
is expressed by the writer of this article in his conclud-
ing remarks, that "the Londoners have sufficient good
schools, and it may be doubted if they appreciate them
sufficiently." The ignorance complained of may be shortly
rectified by all who peruse this concise summary of their
doings, their forms, customs, and principles. " Memoirs of
Richard Whately" refer to a work recently published, of
which no very favourable opinion is here entertained, and
certainly with some fair share of reason to justify the dis-
paraging remarks. The career of Whately hiniself fur-
nishes an opportunity for comments of a more entertaining
style. It is here succinctly stated that he " was no con.-
mon man, his intellect was large, his understanding untir-
ing, his prejudices strong, his inconsistencies very striking,
the greatest joker and punster of his day, next to Sydney
Smith, his natural disposition was tinged with melancholy,"
Such accounts of a man's character preve indisputably that
he could not live without being of some note in his genera-
tion, nor pass away without leaving some traces behind him
of his words and his ways. "Our Trade" is an el iborato
paper that touches upon many important points, and winds
up in reference to the same subject, ably treated in the last
number of this periodical, the faulty nature of the Bank
Act, and the great losses and inconvenience that ensue
therefrom. It is truly stated that its fatal operation is the

"fundamental and originating cause of our recurrent
crises." Those who are sceptical on this point will do well
to study the arguments here put forth, and they will find
the misguided course now in vogue displayed in its true
colours and properly denourced as it ought to be,. In the
pages of this magazine it is appropriate to meet with a tri
bute to the memory of Capt, Spyke. The few words that are
and as eloquent and striking as the
occasion demanded. The details here briefly given of his
inner life are most interesting, and are welcome as showing
spoken are to the point,
how the gainer of so much renown enjoyed a social popu-
larity that now more than fame endears his memory and
sanctifies the regrets of his mourning friends. The last pas-
sage in this sketch is impressive in its simplicity. "It is
fortunate for the world that the triumph preceded the
catastrophe ; it is the remaining consolation of his friends
that no man of the age is safer for immortality. He who
achieved what mankind had been struggling after for 3,000
years, is sure to be remembered as long the earth exists and
is inhabited."

FRASER.—Fraser opens with an article on
what may now be regarded as an accepted political
fact—" The Decline and Pall of Whiggery." The
writer traces the origin of
this decline as far back
as the first Reform Parliament in the inability or
unwillingness of those in office to deal with
Church questions. He finds proof of the decay of the once
great party in the total absence of the younger generation of
politicians from its ranks,
and asks where are the Whigs in
the Commons under forty. So he decides, without any
preference whatever for the Tory party. "That Whiggery
not dead is near to death, moribund, as the Latins say,
incapable of fresh service or fresh efforts, destined perhaps to
linger, but not to live. In this verdict most persons will be
ready to coincide without any fervent regret, for the latter
days of the party have certainly not been productive of
credit to itself or of profit to the nation. "From Auckland
to Awamutu" is a pleasant paper, telling the writer's ex-
periences in a short trip in New Zealand. The field is as
yet new to tourists and travellers, and consequently there is
some novelty in the recital. "Auckland", says
the author, "is, as the reader knows, the capital
of New Zealand, and Awamutu is the head-quarters
of the army employed to subdue the natives who
are now in arms against us. The distance between the
two places is only one hundred and fifty miles; but the diffi-
culties in traversing that space are such as an Englishman
accustomed to railways and steamers can scarcely realise,
It is not scarcely difficult to imagine the sort of article

and another story " Rae Gifford" is
completed in the number.
i It is a singular tale, a picture
of still life, but although t has the elements of romance,
the heroine in whom the interest centres is not attractive.
We have besides the second part of the " Notes on Diplo-
matic History," a somewhat severe criti.cism on an English
sculpture, and an interesting paper on village life two cen-
turies ago, illustrated by many curious quotations.
The Doctor's
TEMPLE BAR.—" Wife" is now
rapidly approaching completion, but, unlike the
other tales, the authoress has reserved the grand
coup for the closing scenes, and not made the
story hinge upon its earlier appearance. As we
proceed with these striking chronicles, it is again
apparent what power is possessed by the writer to bring the
stirring scenes of life before us in vivid touches and bold
outline. Mrs Gilbert, who is really tryingto do her duty,
is censured by the world, w hich was indifferent to her
Previous defalcations. This is the way in which human
judges often decide upon matters which aro beyond their
ken, but upon which they must perforce give an opinion,
"Broken to Harness" is as spirited as ever, and "Paid in
Full" depicts the conduct of Horace in his true colours.
" Poverty a Crime " is an excellent article, that forcibly
denounces the errors of the times in this respect, and
exposes some of the most glaring errors into which peo-
ple fall in their excitement about money arid its compli-
cated details. There is great truth in the remark that
"In all European countries the feeling towards insolvent
debtors has always been more humane and considerate than
in liberal and benevolent England." By all means let
prompt and severe punishment overtake the fraudulent
debtor, but to punish misfortune is an unprofitable cruelty.
Again, it is stated that the present mode of procedure does
not prevent extravagance and improvidence in any degree
as it professes to do; but, on the contrary, it enables per-
sons "to obtain credit when otherwise they would be
obliged to pay ready money, and thereby encourages habits
lof comparative recklessness and extravagance, to which
they would otherwise be strangers." The more this sub-
ject is studied the bettor for the welfare of the community,
