melancholy termination. The deaths of the good
Cardinal and the Queen naturally conclude the
story, but the author might have relented towards hie
lesser hero and heroine, and have suffered Constance to be
happy at last. The new story, " John Law, the Projector,"
here commenced, has already been commented upon in
these columns. The story of " Six Weeks at Huns-
don Manor" is continued, end direful events are
dimly foreshadowed. Francis Jacox contributes an
interesting paper on " Imperfect Criminals ;" and
Dudley Costello, some time ab3ent from the pages of
Bentley through illness, resumes his half-finished history
of Mr. Grimshaw. The romantic life of Tintoretto is toll
by Dr. alichelsen, and " An Old Soldier's Story" relates
the strange consequences of a striking resemblance.

Regrets for her forlorn position intrude themselves,

even when sympathy is
felt for the distracted
"widower,"
as he has been called, and the young
wife brought back tohim from the Valley of the Shadow of
Death. It would be difficult to suppose a more striking
defeat to villainy,
than that which Paul encounters when
he rides through the short hours of that beautiful summer
night to do his work of darkness, and finds himself caught
in the meshes he has spread for others. It might be well
for others like him if they too were circumvented in this
world, and thus brought to a sharp and sudden stand-still
sadly and sternly exemplified in Olivia Marchmont's life,
how many hearts did she break, because her desire was not
in their downward course. " The Trials of the Tredgolda"
is also told at some length, and here affairs are very gloomy
indeed. Mr. Gifford is urging on his ruin by his reckless
course, and offending those who are mighty to injure him by
ill-judged obstinacy and unwise decisions. Clare is in a very
miserable position, and Clem intent on revenge. Thus
the motley crew are working together to create misunder-
standings, and to produce mischief. " The Ghost of Gash-
leigh Court " is a very painful sketch, that does not seem
to possess any definite object. " Marriage not a-la-Mode"
contains some very wise advice to young people, and pre-
sents some pictures of domestic felicity, giving glimpses
of quiet little homes that are not so very much out of reach
as people suppose. There would be more truth in tke
world, and more virtue in society, if due heed were given
to these suggestions, and a large class of small property-

THE ROSE, THE SHAMROCK, AND THE THISTLE
MAGAZINE.—This serial especially deserves notice
as being printed at the Caledonian Press established
for the emp'oyment of female compositors. It is
admirably got up, and the lady workers may bear
comparison with the best of their rivals. The editress is
evidently well fitted for her post, and it is in no way sur-
pthing that the magazine should have succeeded in obtain-
ing so large a share of popular favour. We heartily wish
it continued prosperity.
MI SC ELL AN EOUS.—Newton's London Journal has
an article on the Cotton Trade, which reviews the
course of the calamity. The Boy's Own Magazzne con-
tains just the sort of reading that boys most deligh,
in. It is truly announced to contain " facts, fiction,
history, and adventure." Its humbler companion,
