South London Working Classes Industrial

THE MAGAZINES.

Exhibitic4,

An event took place in Lambeth yesterday which will
form an interesting epoch in the annals of the industrious
classes of that locality, being no less than the opening of the
National Baths in the Westminster-road as the South Lon-

don Working Classes Industrial Exhibition, for the exhibi-
tion of the handicraft of the working men of Lambeth. The
idea of such an exhibition was started some few months
since by Mr. G. Murphy, the well-known temperhnce lec-
turer, and has been successfully carried out by him, in con-
junction with the Mission Society and others. From the
success which has attended this Attempt, which was looked
upon in the light of an experiment, it will no doubt be the
forerunner of many similar exhibitions, though probably on
a much larger scale, not only in Lambeth, but in other
London localities, and in many of the larger provincial
towns. Ihe committee of management, nearly all working
men, who have laboured gratuitously, strictly confined the
exhibitors to being bona fule working men, obtaining their
living by daily labour—and so well seconded has been the
efforts of the committee by the working men of the locality
that there are 231 exhibitors, comprising men of all
trades--masons, shoemakers, gardeners, painters, carpen-
ters, engineers, printers, labourers, porters, and even chim-
ney sweeps. The articles exhibited are of great variety,
and upwards of 500 in number, and are principally the pro.
ductions of the owners in the hours after their daily toil
has terminated—many of them are most skilfully con-
structed, and display considerable ingenuity, Some of the
working models of machinery are beautifully finished ; and
when it is considered that they were made in the workman's
own home, with the limited means at his command, and
deprived of most of those appliances belonging to a large
workshop, the result is really highly creditable to the
industry, skill, and intelligence of the workmen. There
are, indeed, many articles exhibited that would have
attracted notice even at the treat Exhibition. Amongst
some of the principal articles exhibited are a model of
Windsor Castle and the royal train approaching, a steam
printing press, a steam engine and threshing machine, a
suspension bridge, a model of Yeovil Church with a com-
plete peel of bells, &c.—all the productions of John Perry,
an ironfounder, in his own house. These models are all set
in motion by a halfpenny being dropped into a box attached
to each. There are also five oases of stuffed birds, executed
with the utmost fidelity to nature, the production of John
Hankins, a druggist's porter. Two miniature models in the
shape of pillars—one to Wellington, 2ft high, and the other
to Napoleon, lift high—the work of Isaac Thomas, a mason,
attracted a large share of attention from the visitors. The
Wellington pillar contains 600 pieces of stone, and the
Napoleon pillar 550 pieces, all beautifully polished, and so
put together as to present to the naked eye, but one solid
mass of stone. In the Fine Arts department are some well
executed large paintings on historical and religious subjects,
by Charles Machers, a carpenter; several paintings, exe-
cuted with a common halfpenny paint brush, are marvel-
lously well done, by Thomas Nash, a porter ; and three
plaster models, by John Levy, a hairdresser, the subjects
being " Moses breaking the tablets," " Eve," and a "Child
with grapes"— the two latter being original designs. In
short, nearly every article exhibited is worthy of commen-
dation, while many are of a high order of merit. Another
noticeable fact is, that in the majority of cases the articles
made by the exhibition are not those in any way connected
with his trade ; thus a blacksmith exhibits a model of an
aquarium, a carpenter paintings, a musical instrument by
an engineer, and so en, Among the articles lent for exhi-
bition is an elaborate wood carving, containing 4,000 figures
and heads, representing the history of the human race,
executed by a Greek monk of Mount Athos, and now the
property of Mr. Gladstone, the Chancellor of the Exche-
quer, by whom it has been kindly lent to the committee.
The opening ceremony took place at 3 o'clock, at which
hour the Earl of Shaftesbury took the chair, supported by
Sir M. Peto, M.P., Mr. John Bright, M.P., Mr. Warner,
M.P., Mr. J. I. Briscoe, M.P., Mr. S. Morley, the Rev.
Newman Hall, and a large number of the parochial clergy,
vestrymen, and leading inhabitants of Lambeth. The large
area cf the hall was occupied by from 700 to 800 working
men and their families, admitted by Is. tickets.
The proceedings were commenced by singing a version of
the National Anthem written by the Rev. Newman Hall
and given out by the Rev. Mr. Robinson, after which the
Rsv. S. Eardley read the 111th Psalm, and the Rev. New-
man Hall offered up a short prayer. Mr. Murphy, as sec-
retary to the committee of management, then gave a short
and interesting account of the origin of the exhibition which
the meeting now saw before them, Ho also read a letter
from the Chancellor of the Exchequer regretting his in-
abilited, from pressure of business to attend the meeting as
he had promised.
Sir MORTON PETO, M.P., addressed the meeting, and
expressed the pleasure he felt at witnessing the scene before
hint. He had for many years been connected with Lambeth
as a large employer of labour. He felt bound to congratu-
late the working men in the locality on the rapid progress
they were making in elevating themselves in the social
scale. On behalf of the firm he represented he begged to
present the committee with a donation of £5O towards fur-
thering the movement they wore met that day to celebrate.
(Cheers.)

BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY.—The editor's story
proceeds with its usual animation, and chronicles
some of the vicissitudes in John Law's eventful
career. Love and finance divide the interest of the
story, and a whole crowd of characters and incidents
serve to gratify the reader who likes to watch an
historical panorama. Dudley Costello continues his story
of " Mr. Grimahaw" in his accustomed style, and the in-
defatigable Mrs. Bushby begins another tale. The editor
is determined not to spare his readers political discussions,
for " The American War" and " Denmark and the
Duchies" are both subjects of articles. Monkshood enters
upon a " typical consideration" of Mr. Micawber, and un-
fortunately finds only too many of his class in life as well as
in fiction. "At the Play" is the title of a pleasant notice
of our theatres as they now are; and the first part of the
narrative of a ramble among the peaks and dales of beau-
tiful Derbyshire provides some agreeable reading.
TILE NEW MONTIILY.--The many various aspects
of nature, animate and inanimate, in those African
wastes lately trodden by the foot of the adventurous
English explorer, have already given rise to a good
many essays and articles. In the New Monthly we
find a careful analysis of the information we have
gained respecting the vegetation of that part of the world,
and the writer concludes by observing that from the new
and useful plants indigenous there, as well as from the rich
additions held out to floriculture, there is enough attraction
in the Lake districts of Eastern Africa to induce any hor-
ticultural or botanical association to send out a collector
and explorer on their own account. Sir Nathaniel discourses
of the fortunes and misfortunes of that hero of Highland
romance—Bonnie Prince Charlie. This writer is never
very original in his papers, but ho has a whole tribe of
authors and authorities at his command, and ho continues
to compile very readable papers. Sir J. E. Tennant's
" Story of tho Guns" is the subject of an interesting notice,
and "'rho Last Aldenburgere" gives the outline of a his-
tory of some importance, Three stories are going on in this
serial, none of which deserve very high praise. Of
" Strathmore" we need only say that in high-flown descrip-
tions, fervent love scenes, and questionable morality, it
eclipses "Granville de Vigne," its author's former pro-
duction.

Mr. JORN BnionT, M.P., next addressed the meeting.
He congratulated the working men of Lambeth on the suc-
cessful manner in which they had carried out this exhibition,
and trusted it would be the precursor of still more ex-
tended efforts. Working men were too low in the social
scale; they might do much to raise themselves by tempe-
rate and provident habits, and it was the duty of the Go-
vernment to lend.thern a hand by clearing away all obstacles
from their path. He dwelt on the necessity of a closer
connection and co-operation between the different classes of
society, and contended it was the duty of all men who de-
sired to elevate the masses of the people to help to bridge
over the gult which now so widely separated them from
their richer brethren. (Cheers.)
Mr. Warner, M.P., Mr. S. Morley, the Revs. R.Robin-
son. S. Eardley, and Newman Hall, having severally ad-
Jressei the meeting in the same spirit,
The CHAIRMAN addressed the meeting at some length.
He said, when he entered the building that day he was
both astonished and delighted to see the large number of
articles ranged around, many of them displaying high
mebhanical skill and artistic taste, and all the production:of
his humbler fellow-countrymen. He felt proud of them,
and it was only another proof of the rapid strides making
by the working man in social progress and self-respect.
Let any one contrast the working man of 1864 with the
working man of 20 years back, and he would at once
acknowledge the great improvement that had taken place.
There was ample room, however, for further improvement,
and such a movement as that at which he was now
es was a great step in the right direction. The noble
chairmanaistng
i then dwelt long and eloquently upon the duties
working men owed to themselves, their families, and
society, and concluded by saying that no amount of political
power that could be conferred upon them would benefit
them unless they were determined at the same time
socially to reform themselves. (Cheers.) He then declared
the exhibition to be opened, amidst considerable cheering.
The visitors then circulated through the spacious build-
ing inspecting the various articles, until six o'clock, when
the doors were opened to the general public, and the
building became crowded. The charge for admission is
fixed at the low term of 2d. each person, and the exhibition
will remain open until Saturday, March 12, inclusive. It
will doubtless attract a large number of visitors, no less
from its novelty than from its ingenious. useful, and orna-
mental contents, so highly creditable to the working men
of South London.

BLACKWOOD.—" The Fleet of the Future" is the
.gtet atibject that engages attention, and the im-
Iportant qttestion is treated in an appropriate
wanner. It is mentioned as a curious coincidence
that when the first sea voyage was made by a
steamer, Lord Palmei;ii.ton was Secretary at War, and
that now, when our iron-clad leviathans are almost a fleet,
the same statesman is at the head of the Government. After
a careful analysis of the different modes of ship- building,
and the new discoveries in the way of eittaek and defence
which have recently engaged so large a share of paMic
tentionj the writer concludes by urging the Government
to take advantage of every opportunity that presents itself,
and not allow foreign nations to take the lead of us in
Ihe adoption of the striking inventions of the day. There
is great sense in this advice, and no reason whatever to doubt
the truth of the concluding observation, that if our Govern-
ment will thus avail themselves of the chances offered to
them, and " maintain the British navy in its traditional
position as the first navy in the world, the future history of
this country will contain records of achievements as bril-
liant and successes as decisive as the annals of the past dis-
close to us." " Tony Butler," is continued with some
spirit in this instalment. Not that the hero himself does
very much, but some other of the personages met with are
very entertaining, and Maitland comes out strongly in
his arrogant self-assumption and impertinent foppishness.
The Commodore, with his vulgar brusqueness, is really
quite a relief. The style of living at Mrs. Maxwell's is
very aptly sketched, and we are shown how the excess of
freedom allowed to the guests provoked some of them to
tyrannise, and others to give themselves airs. " Louis
Napoleon as a General," is the subject of an article of some
length, and will doubtless attract considerable attention just
now,when political affairs are so momentous and the most far-
seeing are afraid to divine what will next occur. There are
some striking remarks on the peculiar position which is
held by the French ‘Emperor, which are well worthy of
attention. It is observed that " there is only one man
living who knows what the feeling is of having the whole
civilised world intent on his words and gestures." Further
on the vast military resources of France are mentioned, and
a tribute to the zeal and efficiency which has constructed
this huge machine, "thus complete, it is moved by the will
of one man, and this it is which causes all nations, great
and small, to watch, as Swiss peasants might watch a
poised avalanche, as villagers on the slopes of Vesuvius
watch the aspect of the volcano, the signs from which they
may divine the intentions of the French Emperor,"
" Chronicles of Carlingford".brings the curate before us in
a sea of troubles, but he does not succeed in ending them,
although he offers the most vigorous and determined oppo-
sition to the attacks of those around him. The author is
fond of sketching very complicated situations for the heroes
and heroines of the tale to figure in, and Mr.' Wentworth's
situation is about as unfortunate as any of the ill-fated
individuals previously sketched before us. Events are
approaching a climax in the little circle of Carlingford, and
the sad fate of the Misses Wodehouse excites general pity
and indignation. Mr. Morgan's conduct is very ably
described, and the manner in which he takes up the affair
is likely enough, considering the prejudice he entertained
against Mr. Wentworth. The Perpetual Curate only adds
another to the long list of victims, who are crushed by the
manoeuvres of the suspicious and envious. Thomas Wode-
house is a clever delineation of one of those selfish natures
who are continually working for their own ends, and care
not whom they offend, so long as they carry out their own
devices. " Cornelius O'Dowd upon Men and Women, and
other Things in General," is very well written, and afford
some lively sketches of divers adventures, and sundry
scraps of intelligence are imparted in a novel fashion. "A
Letter from Schleswig- Holstein" treats of the question of
the day, and animadverts upon the present course of
British foreign policy.

FRASER.—A lengthened article on the " Congress
Correspondence," will attract the political reader in
opening this number. Those of literary tastes will
prefer to pass over M.Drouyn de L'huys's despatches
and Earl Russell's replies, to the ensuing paper,
" The Campaigner at Home," which discourses on
the various aspects of memorial poetry of which we have of
late years had several specimens. Dante's tribute to
Beatrice, Tennyson's " In Memoriam" and Mr. Woohner's
" Beautiful Lady" are the most prominent of the memorial
works brought under consideration in this essay. Nis justly
observed that early death is usually one of the incentives
of these poems—a fact duly remembered by Edgar Poo in
his wonderful pourrrayal of the sorrow for " the rare and
radiant maiden whom the angels named Lenore." Miss
Cobbs scarcely does justice to a well improved and sugges-
tive paper by calling it "Hades"—an unattractive title
whose meaning is not immediately perceptible. The essay
recapitulates the various beliefs current among
different nations respecting their future state.
" From the opposite ends of the earth," says
Miss Cobbe, "from remotest time till now, from
the Brahmin to the Greenlander, from the contemporary of
mammoth to the civili.ed man of to-day—all have borne
the same testimony. The faith of immortality is written
on the heart of humanity. There is but one Hand which
could have engraved it there, and that Hand writes no
falsehoods." The account of "Village Life in Oudh " is
continued, and gives us some particulars respecting the
official programme to be observed at births, deaths, and
marriages. The weddings are a most serious affair, and
their absurb ceremonials are productive of crime and disas-
ter, being the primary incentive to female infanticide, from
fear of the marriage expenses, The difficulty of dealing
with the deep-rooted and fanatical superstition of the people
in some parts is clearly demonstrated. " Jem Nash, the
dall boy," is a picture which, though highly coloured, is
unfortunately true to life in its loading features. The cruel
mistakes so often made by parents and teachers in con-
founding natural dulness with wilfal inattention, or lazi-
ness, have produced much domestic mieery ; and irrepa-
rable mischief is sometimes done to a boy's subsequent
character and career by forcing upon him a lino of study for
which he is naturally unfitted, and in which he is certain
to reap nothing but discomfiture and disgrace. " The
land tenure question," and other papers, are also worth
reading, though the number is hardly up to its usual
standard,

MACMILLAN.—Tho chief attraction in Macmillan
is still Mr. Henry Kingsley's tale of "The Hilly ars
and the Burtons." The author appears to be draw-
ing the tangled threads of his story together, and
the plot is gradually thickening. As yet the reader
cannot unravel it, but doubtless before long he will
get a clue to the discovery of the double mystery which
links George Ilillyar with James Burton and Reuben Bur-
ton with the hidden "pigeon fancier," whose advent cer-
tainly bodes no good. Tho " Competition Wallah" con-
tinues his letters from India, discussing this month the
views of what is styled the Anglo-Saxon Party. llis
letters are generally characterised by good sense and shrewd-
ness, while he fully recognises the claims of the natives on
our consideration. Archibald Maclaren of the Oxford
Gymnasium contributes a very useful paper ou Private
Schools for Boys. There is much sound sense in what he
says, and it would be well if parents paid a little more heed
to their children's physical training as well as anxiously
watching their mental advancement. A want of physco-
logical knowledge is often the real cause of much apparent
unkindness or neglect, and the snore tho laws of health are

studied by heads of families the better it will be for the
rising generation. The incalculable importance of fresh
air and free exercise to the growing youth is not at all
rightly estimated, and it is worth notice that Mr. Maclaren
expressly recommends the simple playground games for
healthy exercise in opposition to any system of gym-
nastics unless carefully presided over by a qua.
lifted instructor. " A Song of the Soil " is as usual
continued at considerable length, so much so as to render it
diffuse and somewhat tedious in its progress, although well
written. There are several other papers, and Christina
Rossetti contributes a long and not altogether satisfactory
poem, in which the thought is worthy of a less rugged and
absurd expression.

THE ST. JAMES'S —The author of " Sackville
, Chase" continues his new story of " The Man in
(.;ftins," which bids fair to be a prominent picture
in this magazine for some time to come. " Bertie
Bray," another novel in progress, is more interest-
ing, if less smart. " Pythagoras and the Poets" is
the title of an article of a more solid character that is worth
reading; and the approaching ceremonial of the 10th of
March suggests a well-written paper on " Royal Births and
Baptisms," in all their variations, from the christening of
the first Prince of Wales, attended by the reluctant chief-
tains who had first been entrapped into acknowledging their
" native born" Prince, to the ill-fated little Edward the
Fifth, born and baptised during his mother's "sanctuary"—
at Westminster, and the ceremonial when Edward the Sixth
was carried to the font—a pageant which Shakepere has
chronicled in the closing scenes of his Henry VIII. Other
tales and sketches are supplied for different tastes.

LONDON SOCIETY.—This magazine, which is
among the pleasantest and most readable of our
serials, is full an ever of animated sketches, of
romance and verse, of entertaining essays, and
clever illustrations. We are glad to find the inte-
resting and well-written series of " London Papers
and London Editors" is resumed. We have reminiscences
of Captain Sterling, of the Times, Dr. Black, of the
Chronicle, and Mr. Jerdan, whose literary recol-
lections have made his career familiar to many
readers. A portrait of Dr. Black, which is, however, no
striking resemblance, is prefixed to the article, which is full
of anecdotes concerning the journalistic celebrities of the
time. The recent debate on the management of the private
business in Parliament has, we may suppose, suggested a
paper called "llow the Shareholders' Money Goes," which
gives an animated account of a battle in a committee zoom,
which ends in the total discomfiture of all parties. Foot-
ball, as played at the three great public schools of Rugby,
Barrow, and Eton, is pleasantly discoursed of. The second
of the papers on the Merchant Princes of England treats of
the Le la Pales of Hull, who came over with the Conqueror.
It is remarked that to give their complete history would fill
a bulky volume. Quite enough of it for the general reader
is, however, condensed into less than a dozen pages. " The
Ordeal for Wives," a story of London life that is as yet
lingering in provincial retirement, proceeds with consider-
able spirit, but that somewhat rash and forward young
damsel who appears to bo its heroine is likely to got into
serious difficulties. The illustration of it by Miss Edwards
is, as usual, natural and effective, which is more than can

be said of Mr. Watson's "Duet," where the two faces are
made so extremely sombre as to be scarcely distinguishable
—an unfortunate representation of "sunny faces" alluded
to in the accompanying verse.

TEMPLE BAR.—" The Doctor's Wife" is very
exciting in this portion of its narrative. Isabel
Sleaford is married to George Gilbert. This union
is sure to prove unhappy, as the parties are totally
dissimilar. The account of their engagement is
ingeniously described, and the foolish manner in
which Isabel behaved may servo as a warning to those who
persist in their romantic visions until reality undeceives
them with no very pleasant teachings. Mr. Jeffson, in his
downright way, is a positive relief after the exhibition
which Isabel makes of her dreamy notions, and George dis-
plays his simplicity. To go through life fancying you must
be a hero or heroine is the most likely way to become a
martyr, theugh not in a very praiseworthy form. "The
Streets of the World" this time bring before us a'Snargate
Street, Dover." This quaint locality will be remembered
by all who have been much about, its precincts, though, as
the smart sketcher observes, few of the many who pass
through Dover see or care to acquaint themselves with the
curious spot here mentioned. " Marechal do Saxe" gives
resumd of the career of that celebrated man, which may
interest many readers, and they may refresh their memories
concerning a man who should not be forgotten, and of whom
it is hero appropriately remarked, " Such was Maurice de
Saxe, and, with all his faults, wo cannot refuse him his
niche in the Walhalla of glory." " Broken to Harness" is
the second part of a new story by Edmund Yates. It is
smartly done, and presents some worldly and some peculiar
characters to our notice. " home Contrasts" is rather a
peculiar sketch that sots forth the comparative advantages
and notifies the distinctive allurements at home and
abroad. Much useful knowledge may be gained by the
study of this paper, and the most prejudiced to old fashioned
things should not be too proud to learn how to make them-
selves and their belongings more suited to the taste of the
day, and more fitted to meet the requirements of the age.
There are several other articles on various subjects which
merit notice, and the last of the contents, entitled " Past
help," is a very pleasing little poem. The verses are de-
scriptive and touching in their mournfulness, and they afford
a striking contrast in the death of despair and the life of
indifference.

GOOD WORDS.—The present number is an ex-
ceedingly good one, both as regards the letterpress
and illustrations, It opens with the continuation
of the tale of " Oswald Cray," by the authoress of" East
Lynn," and promises well. We have also several interesting
papers, both prose and poetical ; from the latter we make no
excuse for extracting the following pretty little trifle,
entitled—

ONCE A WEEK' for February—published in due
course with the Mae oh magazines—comprises among
its ample and varied contents several more than
usually interesting serial contributions to our popu-
lar light literature. Among these are Louisa Crow's
" Blacksmiths of Hornsby," Adolphus Trollope's " Beppo
the Convict," and a story in two parts called "The Gen-
tleman with the Lily," by an anonymous novelist. The
number, or rather part, is, as usual, profusely illustrated.
CASSELL'S PUBLICATIONS.—A morn beautiful
aeries of cheap publications than those now issuing
from the establishment of Messrs. Cassell, Petter,
an i Galpin has seldom if ever been seen. The " Illustrated
Shakspere" will, on completion, -form a magnificent volume.
The same may be said of our dear old companion, " Robin-
son Crusoe" while " I3unyan's Pilgrim's Progress," will
be an ornament to any library. " Tho Popular Educator"
and the " Popular Natural History" aro all that could be
wished.

THE RAILWAY, BANKING, AND MINING AL-
MANACK for the present year is a perfect encyclo-
pedia of information on all subjects either interesting or
of use to the mercantile community. It is now published
at 13, Red Lion-court, Fleet-street, in place of at the old
offices, in Bridge-street.
THE MUSICAL MONTHLY well sustains its cha-
racter. The paper entitled " Musical Notes" is
well written, and that on the approaching Shak-
sperean Festival is entertaining and well-timed.
It appears to us to be rather an oversight to defer
a notice of Mr. Macfarren's new opera "She Stoops
to Conquer," until April, because by that timo it will, to a
great extent, have become a matter of history. Ono would
have thought the production of a new English opera by so
celebrated a composer, would have been considered of suffi-
cient importance by the conductors of a musical publication
to have secured for it immediate consideration. The con-

THE ROSE, TIIISTLE, AND SHAMROCK.—The
adventures of Jacob Morrison have reached the 40th
chapter, in which Mrs. Smick gives Jacob a proof
of her friendly regard; and the continuation of the
novelette by Feather Penn, Esq., " Harry Vow-
hampton," will bo read with interest. " Poland" is a
noble poem, from the pen of Elizabeth Sheridan Carey;
and " Misses and Matrimony," under the editorship of Capt.
W. W. Knollys, is as enteresting as ever. The style in
which this paper is given is so excessively attractive that
ono invariably arrives at the words "to be continued"
abruptly and with regret. The latter feeling, however, is
somewhat assuaged by the knowledge that more is yet to

ballad in E flit, entitled "Spring Time is Coming," but,
in order to achieve a permanent success, we must here

polkas, galops, and ballads.
DALZIEL'S ILLUSTRATED GOLDSMITH. " The
Vicar of Wakefield." No. I.— Surely Oliver
Goldsmith, could he have foreseen the celebration
of his genius by posterity in 1864, would have
looked upon the honours thus showered upon his
memory by his grateful countrymen as, in some
sort, a literary, musical, artistic, apotheosis I A
memorial statue of him erected in Dublin i A com-
memorative monument over his grave, not eo very long since
raised in the Temple where the site, moreover, of his dwel-
ling place has given a title to the buildings that now

artist as gifted as Macfarren ! Covent Garden.
filled nightly to listen to the warblings of young Marlow
and Miss Trardcastle, at the very time when the original
comedy itself was being enacted on the stage of the Hay-
market : shouts of laughter being excited at both houses by
the whimsicalities spoken or sung of Tony Lumpkin. And
now, to crown all, rival editions, exquisitely printed, pro-
fusely and elegantly illustrated, and yet published at a
fabulously small price, are being issued from the press in a
periodical form—rival editions of Goldsmith's masterpiece,

THE ECLECTIC.—The warm tribute to the great
worth and noble character of Father Mathew which
opens this number will be read with interest and
pleasure by all who concern themselves with the
wants, the sins, and the sufferings of their fellows.
It is remarked of him, in reference to the terrible
years of the famine, that " No wretchedness, no plague nor
pestilence daunted him ; he was almost übiquitous in his
incessant movements amidst scenes of the most fearful misery;
he exhibited for the poor, which he never exhibited for him-
self, a shrewd and practical, as well as a tender mind." Mr.
Itathbone, of Liverpool, who visited Ireland at that time,
has given a full account of the zeal with whioh he devotod
himself to succour and comfort the afflicted. Mr. Rath-
bone found Father Mathew's carpetless rooms filled at
night with poor wanderers, who had no home, while his
readiness to visit the sick and dying, in houses where
typhus raged, was a little alarming to his English visitor.
English Painting, in its social aspect, is discussed with
fine perception and taste. Two other papers, on 4, Poems
of Rural Life," and " Problems in Unman Nature," are
the moat interesting portions of the remaining contents.
THE AUTOGRAPHIC MIRROR, otherwise L'Auto-
graphe Cosmopolite, continues to prosper. Number
two just issued sustains the repute acquired by its
predecessor ; the second instalment of this new and
very curious venture containing facsimiles of handwritings
and signatures, as interesting and various as those of Sir
Philip Sidney, General Washington, Lord Nelson, the
Poet C3leridge, Mrs. Trollope, the novelist ; and living
actors as popular as Charles Kean and Charles Mathews.
Besides which, No. 2 is enhanced in value by two un-
published caricatures roughly sketched, the ono by Leech,
the other by Thackeray.

" The Vicar of Wakefield!" Here is Dalziel's now
before us—the initial instalment of it. Nobly-sized pages
of delicately-tinted paper—with splendid typography and
abundant illustrations. The latter aro charming. First of
all there is the family of Dr. Goldsmith at the head of the
opening chapter. And later on we have Olivia and Sophia.
Altogether a beautiful edition of a lovely story—and there.

of the embellishments aro in truth masterly. In.

THE NAVY.

The Trafalgar, 70, 500-horse power, Capt. T. H.
Mason, was paid off at the Nore on Monday, and
will be immediately refitted for the Coastguard ser-
vice at Leith, by a party of officers and seamen who
have arrived from the Edinburgh.

ANTHONY TROLLOPE's New Serial Story, " Can
You Forgive her ?"—" which," as Mrs. Gamp would
say, " We can't," at any rate as yet—brings us (with
the monthly magazines) to the third number and
the eleventh chapter, each inclusively. In this instalment
the reader learns all about the Pic-nic on the sands, and
how, at that pic-nic, Captain Bellfield proposes a toast.
Later on in the development of the plot the story will

The screw steam gunvessel Torch, 5, Commander
Frederick H. Smith, from Sierra Leone, which ar-
rived in Plymouth on Sunday afternoon, sailed in
the evening for Sheerness and Chatham. She was
put in commission in June, 1860, and left for the
West Coast of Africa in the following- September.
The Torch has been occupied chiefly in the suppres-
sion of the slave trade, and has captured seven yes-
eels ; eke was also actively engaged in the operations
in the river Gambia in 1861. During her commis-
sion she has gone, under steam and sail, a distance
of 55,000 miles. Not one death has occurred in the
ship, and, with one exception, all the officers who
went out in her continue on board.
The first examination of naval engineers and as•
eistant-engineers under the naw regulations recently
issued by the Admiralty commenced at Sheerness
Dockyard on Monday. In accordance with the rules
laid down by the Admiralty, certificates of efficiency
will be granted to those engineer students who may
reach a certain standard of efficiency, By direction
of the Lords of the Admiralty the millwrights' shop
in the dockyard recently vacated by the established
millwrights, has been handed over for the use of the
junior engineers of the fleet, who are to be employed
in the factory three days in each week,the remainder
being devoted to theoretical instruction in the
dockyard schools.

THE ARMY.
The Duke of Cambridge, as Field-Marshal Com-
manding-in-Chief, had a levee yesterday, at the
Horse Guards, which was attended by upwards of
90 officers.

A board of officers has officially inspected the new
cavalry barracks at Colchester, in order to report
upon their fitness to be immediately occupied by
troops.

Adetachment of the Ist battalion of the Cold-
stream Guards,consiating of two officer and 95 men,
arrived at Eastbourne on Saturday, for a course et
musketry instruction at the Government range.
Capt. Hathorno and Lieut. the Hon. Heneage Legge
accompanied the detachment.

THE FRENCH CONSPIRATORS.—ImmediateIy after
the passing of the sentence on Greco, Trabucco,
Irnperatori, and Scaglioni, they Were conveyed to
the depot for condemned prisoners at La Roquette.
Two gendarmes were placed by the side of each, the
four being taken in separate carriages. Up to
Saturday afternoon none of the prisoners had lodged
any appeal against the sentence. Mazzini, not
having surrendered, will be tried by default in
another session of the Paris Court of Assizes.
NEW ROMAN CATHOLIC CHURCH.—A new
Roman Catholic church, which has been erected in
Croydon, is to be consecrated by Dr. Grant, Bishop of
Southwark, on Thursday, the 10th inst. The sermon is to
be preached by the Rev. W. G. Todd, D.D. The now
church is situste in the Welleeley-road.
