STATUE TO SIR C. BARRY.—Arrangements are in
progress for erecting a statue to the memory of the late Sir
C. Barry in what is known as " the Witnesses' Lobby" of
the new houses of Parliament. Tho statue, which is of
marble, is in the hands of Mr. Foley, ILA., and will be in
its place in the course of a few weeks,

" Caxtoniana" this month is clever and amusing.
The writer even condescends to pun. He tells us
in the essay " On Shyness "—" It was shyness, and
nothing else, that made the bashful conquerors in
the Great Rebellion so delicately silent about them-
selves in the welcome they gave: to the courteous
and elegant exile. In fact, they have no other ex-
cuse; they were shy, and they shied away their
liberties.' In "The Lives of Two Ladies" we
have a comparison of two last century celebrities,
Mrs. Delany and Mrs. Thrale. " Political Trage-
dies in Japan" gives a curious account of the Go-
vernment of that country and of the discord
engendered there by the foreign treaty. "A Box
of Books" is a chatty article upon some of the litera-
ture of the day. It thus speaks of
THE AGE OF CHIVALRY.
Men beating their wives, and even women not their
wives, with whom they quarrel, is a common incident in
these tales and romances, The chevalier De la Tour Lan-
dry tells his daughters the story of a woman who was in
the habit of contradicting her husband in public, and re-
plying to him ungraciously—a habit, it must be confessed,
trying to the sweetest of marital tempers, and one not yet
departed from the civilised world. What did this husband ?
After expostulating with her in vain, he ono day raised his
fist and knocked her down. Unhappily for the credit of
chivalry, ho went oven further, for he kicked her in the
face when she was down,. and broke her nose. "And so,"
adds the knight, improving the story with a moral for his
daughters, " she was disfigured for life, and thus, through
her ill-behaviour and bad temper, she had her nose spoiled,
which was a great misfortune to her."
The " Works of Charles Lever" are reviewed and
praised. " The Purpose and Prospects of the Inter.
national Exhibition" are discussed, and the number
work on " The
Americanen
ends with
Union."harevew of Spence's

Dublin University Magazine,
One of the most interesting articles in the present
number is that on "Leinster Volk-Lore." No
country, perhaps, is richer in legends of saints,
trolls, banshees, and other beings of the marvellous
and supernatural order than
. Ireland. Thought of
course, this kind of traditionary lore is gradually
dying out. The writer gives specimens of those he
has met with which may, he says, " be safely ac-
cepted as genuine reports of the oral legends and
stories in the districts lying near the White Moun-
tains, Blackstairs, and Mount Deinster, faithfully
set down in the idiom of that part of the country."
The best are too long for quotation, so we must
refer the admirer of that kind of literature to the
article itself. Of a similar nature is the paper on
" Romance and Superstition in Poland," whilst
" Die Geistertodenglocke ; The Ghost Dead-Beli,"
runs in the same vein. Under the head of " A
Batch of Last Year's Novels," some of the more
prominent recent works of fiction come in for
review. We extract from it
A PLEA FOR NOVELS.
If the novelist too often panders to the popular taste, he
has commonly too much respect for human weakness to
outrage the popular instincts in all ',road questions of moral
right and wrong. Barring religious novels, which are
utterly hateful, and, for the most part, stupidly misleading,
there is no class of popular fiction which fails altogether to
work directly or indirectly for the sours gcod of those who
find a rational enjoyment therein. Even from such mere
tales of mystery as "The Woutan in White" may some

United Service Magazine.
A very able article on " Our New Bengal Native
Army" opens this number, in which the rational
mode of treating the native chiefs is pointed out,
and the example of Russia in the Crimea quoted as
worthy of imitation, The writer on " The Arm-
strong Gun" defends - that weapon against recent
attacks; and in "Portsmouth in Danger we have
strong arguments used for the immediate construc-
tion of docks sufficiently large to take such iron
steamships as we are at present building ; and the
superiority of the dock accommodation at Cher-
bourg is clearly shown. "At the present time,"
says the writer, " France could refit, renew, and
send to sea a second fleet of ironsides quicker than
England, and until we were prepared to meet her
again the English Channel, with its rich.freighted
ships, would be at the mercy of our great, in fact,
our only, maritime rival." The account of " The
Medals of the British Army" is readable. "The
first medal," it scowl, " was given by Charles I. in
1643, for soldiers engpged in forlorn hopes," but the
Parliament was not slow to follow the example, and
it employed the celebrated engraver Simon, who
consulted with Cromwell as to the design. Various
episodes in the Peninsular and other wars are
touched on, and in the retreat of Sir John Moore
occurred

A SCRAMBLE.
The advanced guard of the French were again repulsed
two days afterwards. But they were coming on with such
force that our troops could not make a moment's delay, and
at this critical time the road became blocked by two wag-
gons containing the military treasure. It was a decided
fix ; for•the teams of bullocks were exhausted, and could
go no further. There was, indeed, only ono mode of extri-
cation, and that was, to abandon the money, which was
done by rolling the casks of dollars down the mountain, and
so avoiding a scramble by the soldiers, which would have
endangered the whole army. Only the rear regiments of
the reserve were present at the time, and Lieutenant Ben-
net, of the '2Bth, was directed by Sir John Moore to shoot
any soldier who left the ranks; but happily, not a man
stirred. The casks broke as they struck aguiust the rooks,
