MONTHLY REPOSITORY.

The most acceptable Paper in the Number before
us is, we suspect, the production of its Editor, Mr.
Leigh Hunt. It is entitled the " Queen," and is
worthy all the numerous political and philosophical re-
flections to which the fair theme has given rise. The
tone of the remarks is kindly, without being at all
sycophantic, and the article throughout is of a highly
suggestive character. " Doggrel on Double Columns,"
possibly from the same pen, is remarkable for the Hu•
dibrastic ingenuity and variety of its familiar rhymes.
English, in the writer's hands, shows as pliable as In-
dian-rubber. " High and Low Life in Italy," by Mr.
Landor, will not add much to the reputation of the
Author of the "Imaginary Dialogues." By far the

THE MONTHLY MAGAZINE.
Sherwood and Co.
" The Present Prospects of Great Britain," are
very temperately and sensibly discussed in the opening
article of the " Old Monthly." The writer's views
are as correct, as his manner of putting them is cal►n
and conciliatory. The sketch of the life of « Abd-
El-Kader," the reigning Emir of Mascara, and
troublesome ally of the French in Africa, is very in-
teresting. The French Journals supplied the facts,
of which the compiler has made excellent use. Of
the other articles, the best are a criticism on the,
" Sonnets of Shakespeare," and a dissertation, or ra-
ther essay, on the " Genius of Young." The Num-
ber is a good one.

These all belong to that class of useful and instrucr
tive monthly publications of which a Newspaper can
take no further cognizance than that of announcing their
appearance, and recommending them to the patronage
of such as prefer utility to the promise of more showy"
as well as more questionable advantages. They are
severally conducted by Mr. Loudon, whose name has
become synonimous with industry and intelli

;ence.

The firs and second of these publications are very
cheap, and, regard being had to their price, verY
well conducted. Upon publications of a purely sec-
tarian description we decline to offer any opini°ll-
We approve not of the religious principles of the VII!"
tarian Baptists, and are not, therefore, the best quail'

their different religious dogmas.

In a late assault case against an eminent brewer'
the following ingenious argument was used :—" If there ba,
any charge made against the beer, (said Mr. L.) re.butt it.
It was this clench in jest which led to the assault in earnest
so that neither your if nor your but is a certain peace-maker.

Sibthorp's majority over Mr. Bulwer is entirely among tb
Clergy and thumb-screwed out-voters, for it was in that boirio
alone, which may be called the Minster booth, that he got I'6 ;
majority ; his numbers there being 143, and Mr. Bulwer's,.ll),
while in the others, including No. 3, in which Colonel
thorp got nearly 64 out-voters, Mr. Bulwer was quite equa
him. It was the same with regard to Mr. Ellis and ,-,1
Churchill ; in the Minster booth Mr. Ellis was above CO,
Churchill : in all the other booths Col. Churchill was 10",,.
Mr. Ellis. It only requires the Ballot to remove these disc r 5;

the present contest, that the Ballot will shortly be an_aP,Pen-el

has seen his last election. —Lincoln Gazette.
