THE ASIATIC JOURNAL. Allen and Co.

A very good Number, Dr. Loewe's Essay on the Origin
of the Egyptian Language will create a sensation in the
learned world. The " Gamester," being the first of a
series of sketches of life in India, is cleverly and graphi-
cally written. The moral it inculcates has been recently
proved not to be an unnacessary one. The articles on
Indian Affairs, and the summary of Asiatic Intelligence, are
convincing proofs of the unwearied assiduity of the Editor.

THE LONDON AND EDINBURGH PHILO SO-

PHI CAL MAGAZINE.
Richard Taylor, Red Lion-court, Fleet-street.

Among the various scientific papers from the pens of
many first-rate men of science which the present Number
contains, we have only space to notice one by Messrs. R.
C. Taylor and T. G. Clemson, on a vein of coal lately dis-
covered in the island of Cuba. This coal, by its peculiar
nature, is admirably adapted to steam purposes, and, from
its locality, cannot fail to become a powerful agent in the
extension of steam power, both by sea and land.

THE CHRISTIAN REFORMER.
Sherwood, Gilbert, and Piper.
There is the usual variety of well. written articles and of
religious intelligence in the present Number. The follow-
ing " Sonnet," composed in January on the South Devon
coast, is pretty :
No foliage hangs upon the trees, no flower
Blooms in the hedge-row, and perfumes the air ;
Stern Winter reigns—but still it is an hour
Of tranquil beauty, balmy, calm and fair.—
The sky is azure—and the wild bird's lay
Sounds like a spring-tide song. Yon lovely bay
Lies sleeping in the sunshine warm and sweet,
And the waves gently drooping at my feet,
Bow their white crests like blossoms gracefully
Bending before the soft and silent breeze.—
And this is winter—old, but yet to please,
Full of rich power I—So, should I live to see
Long years to come, may I, though youth be past,
Still look serene and smiling to the last
Birmingham.

HIS GRACE THE DUKE OF WEL-

LINGTON.

MY LORD Dun ,—I trust you will pardon the liberty I ant
about to take in addressing you through the medium of a
public print; but from the nature of the subject, your Grace
will readily perceive that by no other means could my object
be so well obtained—which is to lay before you, in the spirit of
the sincerest good will and respect, what has very forcibly struck
many others besides myself.

The newspapers teem with accounts of the success of the
subscriptions now raising for a statue to your Grace. Alas
the same prints detail, almost in juxtaposition, with harrowing ,
minuteness, the horrible sufferings of the wretched inhabitants
of the Western Islands of Scotland, where sickness and 6.-
mine are now raging with fearful violence. I know these
poor creatures well, my Lord Duke, and a more deserginr,
or industrious class of people does not exist in his Ma;jesty'a
dominions. As regards their "deeds of arms," the hir,tory of
the last fifty years furnishes ample proof that the Ifighland
Regiments are not a whit behind the very bravest of their
fellow-subjects. Permit me, therefore, respectfully to suggest
how greatly it would add to your Grace's well-earned fame,
if you would urge upon the Committee of Management the
appropriation of a part of these subscriptions, (of course with
the consent of the Subscribers) to the relief of these our starv-
ing countrymen. Perhaps the office may seem to your Grace.
an ungrateful one-..

" As being loth
To look a gift horse i' the mouth ;"
and the attainment of the object impracticable ; but i n my
humble opinion, a recommendation from your Grace to this
effect—made, as it would be, to your sincere admirers- _would
would meet with every attention ; one thing, however, is cer-
tain, that if the Committee felt so disposed, the s aggestioa
could not originate with them. I feel assured, my I ,ord Duke,
that the sacrifice, (supposing the application to be completely,
or even partially, successful), of your personal vanity at the
shrine of humanity would be universally appreriiated, and
would add one of the greenest laurels to the splendid chaplet
which already encircles your brow. Besides, my Lord Duke,
there are innumerable streets, pictures, taverns, &c. &c., to
remind us, at every step, of your Grace's never-dying fame, suf-
ficient, indeed, to satisfy the vainest man that ever existed,
which your Grace certainly is not; but, my Lord Duke, the
monument raised in the hearts of a grateful people to the me-
mory of their benefactor is worth, in my humble estimation,
ten thousand statues of the best Varian marble, thourh
Agesander, Phidias, and Praxiteles were the sculptors. Of
active benevolence, it has been truly and beautifully said by
our immortal bard—
" It droppeth like the gentle rain from heaven
It is twice blessed--
It blesseth him that gives and him that takes."
The page of history, a much more abiding monument, will
do ample justice to your Grace's fame; and, ray Lord I) uke,
you say proudly say with the ancient poet—
" Janique opus exegi, quod nee Jovis ira nee ignis,
Nec poterit ferrum, nee edax abolere vetustas."
Your Grace requires no statue of brass or marble, ho wever
well executed, to remind the present generation or pc isterity
of your heroic deeds ; they are too well and most des ervedlY
established to need so feeble and perishable a memento, Of
the countless numbers which daily pass by that celebrated and
and prominent statue of the unfortunate Charles, how few
deign to look at, far less think of, the author of " Ikon
Basilike." I have the honour to be,
My Lord Duke, with sincere reF,pect,
Your Grace's most obedient humble servant,

NAMES OF RAILWAYS,-In the Committee on
the petition for the South Midland 'Counties Railway Bill
which sat yesterday, an incidental conversation took place orL
the names of Railways. Mr. Green, the Chairman, expresse
his hope that Parliament would insist upon the promoters of
those Bills giving their lines some more definite titles tf iaa
those of " Midland Counties," " South Midland Counti es,"
" Great Western," " Northern and Eastern," &c. Mr. Tfeas°
the Quaker Member said, that in his opinion they ought, to be
named after the fathers who begot them—the Engi7icers.--'
(Cheers and laughter.) Mr. Northhouse, who aeared
for Sir Henry Halford and other opponents tr, the line,
said the proposition of the Hon. Membel- would scarcely cure
the indefiniteness complained of, as in. this instance, from the
name of the worthy engineer (Gile,s), the woad might be apt
to mistake the line for the " Giles's Railway." After a
lengthened examination and. adjournment, the Committee de-
cided that the Standing Orders had not been complied with
on nearly all the poi its taken. The Standing Orders Coln- •
mittee will have now to determine whether those points arc
fatal or not.
