MISCELLANEOUS MAGAZINES.

The 3ational Magazine opens with the first in-
• stalment of a story from the ready pen of Captain
Mayne Reid, bearing the fascinating title of " The
White Gauntlet." There are other tales of varying
attractions—a paper on the afflictions of the Deaf
and Dumb, a vividly drawn picture of the " scenes
which angels weep to see," entitled, " How others
Live," and an account of the Old Sanctuary at Holy-
rood, interspel sed with divers rhymes and sketches.
--- 7 he Sixpenny Magazine certainly gives its readers
plenty to read, and its contents are generally of fair
average merit. A new story is begun under the
title of " Sackville Chase," and we have likewise a
romance, entitled " The Passion Flower," and a
host of other tales. Several amusing papers on
general topics are also to be met with.—Beeton'sl
Monthly Budget is always worth attention. His
illuminated Family Bible has reached the twenty-
first part, but how it is to be completed in twenty-
four parts, we are unable to comprehend ; the
borders to each page are especially graceful.— The
En glishwoman' s.Domestic Magazine is a marvel for 6d.
and its supplement gives a collection of fashions
and patterns that would probably cost the fair
needlewomen five times the money to procure sepa-
rately. We must not omit to mention a charming
pink sachel,'presented to the subscribers of the ma-
gazine in honour of the Royal wedding,—The Boy's
Own Library, The Boy's Penny Magazine, and
The Boy's Own Magazine, all issued by the same
enterprising publisher, are full of the most attrac-
tive sort of reading for boys. Beeton's Books of
Home Games will extend to a wider circle, for chess,
billiards, whist, and cribbage have their votaries of
all ages.—Young England is a superior kind of
miscellany for youthful reading, illustrated by
some very effective woodcuts.—Le Fellet shows the
May fashions in radiant dyes, and tells us a pretty
little story on the blessings of content.

The Count de Chambord (IlenryV.) at Venice.

The Count de Chambord generally inhabits Venice from
November to April. The Palazzo Cavalli, on the Grand
Canal, is his own property. It is known to all travellers,
from the magnificence of its structure and from the hospi-
tality and kindness of its occupant. In figure the Count
de Chambord is rather short. He walks lame from the
serious accident which occurred to him years ago, and he
has latterly became exuberantly stout. His face is hand-
some,'his features regular, and he has so kind an expression
that no one could carelessly pass him. His voice is loud,
but his whole manner and bearing is that of a royal person-
age. He is accessible to all ; indeed, in this respect, the
Count would do better if he avoided the heterogeneous
masses who crowd :themselves upon his privacy, and are
admitted to his hospitality.
Nothing wl.ll strike the stranger more than the scope of
the Count de Chambord's intelligence. He speaks German,
French, Italian% And English, the first three perfectly, but
he seldom speaks in English if he can avoid it, although
he delivers himself with accuracy, and his pronunciation is
good. He is capable of great fatigue, and has oftentimes
been the companion of the Emperor of Austria throughout
very unpleasant nights, waiting the daylight in huge casks
to commence the wild duck shooting, a species of amuse-
ment only arrived at by great privation and great fatigue.
There is an affectation of Royalty within his palace. The
guests invited to dinner are all assembled before the Count
and Countess appear. The royal party pass round and
speak to all the company. When the dinner is announced
the Count and Countess walk in first, and together. The
guests are placed according to their rank. After dinner the
same formality is observed, the Count and Countess again
speaking to each individual, the gentlemen always stand-
ing, and the ladies also, until the Countess has exchanged
some words with every one. Then there is an interval of
more general conversation until about eight o'clock (the
dinner is always at six), when the royal party, having
neared the door of exit, bow to the company anctretire. Then
follows a hasty departure of the guests, and the noise of the
gondoliers disturb the usual quiet of the now deserted
Queen of the Adriatic.—lhe Mirror.
