THE SUN, LoNDorz, wEDNE bDAY E JUNE 18, 1862,

THE MA GAZINES,

sances. One on the pottery, porcelain, and glass in
the International Exhibition follows. There is
also a short notice on "Patent Law Reform," and
descriptions of recent patents.

since they dare perversely to derive all the truths
of religion from the native energy of human reason,
they assign to each one a certain primary law as it
were, according to which he may think and speak
freely of religion, and manifest that honour and
worship for God which is best suited to his inclina-
tions. But they arrive also at that degree of
impiety and impudence, that they endeavour to
attack Heaven itself, and take away God himself
from the midst of It ; for with marked iniquity and
equal folly they do not fear to assert that no supreme,
all-wise, all-provident divine will exists distinct
from this universe, and that God is the same with
nature, and therefore obnoxious to change ; and
that God becomes man and the world ; and that all
things are God, and that the very nature of God
has substance, and that God and the world are one
and the same thing, and that hence spirit and
matter, necessity and liberty, the true and the false,
good and evil, and the just and the unjust, are the
same; than which certainly nothing more mad,
nothing more impious, nothing more repugnant to
reason itself, can ever be imagined or devised. But
of authority and law they prate so rashly as im-
pudently to assert that that authority is nothing
more than the amount of numbers and of material
strength, and that right consists in material fact,
and that all the duties of men are an empty name,
and that all human facts have the force of right."
The document proceeds in the same strain to a
wearisome length.

Fraser's Magazine.

The tales, " Thalatta! Thalatta!" and " Barren
Honour," are both finished in this number. A. K.
H. B. has an essay, termed " Going on," in which
he moralises upon change,
decay, inconsistency, ill
nature, andtmany otherills that flesh is heir to. Mr.
Ruskin gives a sequel to the papers on Political
Economy, which appeared in the Cornhill Illagazme.
" Political economy," he says, " is neither an art nor
a science, but a system of conduct and legislature,
founded on the sciences, directing the arts, and im-
possible, except under certain conditions of moral
culture." And he states his intention of pursuing
the subject at his leisure. There is a readable
article on " The Reign cf Terror ;" and the remain-,
der treats of " Hungary," " Homeric Translations,'
and the International Exhibition.

I he National Magazine.

A photograph of Balmoral is given with the pre-
sent number. Several tales are progressing. "Yhe
Moralities of French Literature" are held up for
condemnation, and the International Exhibition
receives a share of attention.

.Routledye's Illustrated Natural History.
The denizens of the sea are still being delineated
and described. The first part of the present num-
ber, treating of such grotesque specimens as sea
urchins and sea dragons ; the latter the more grace-
ful forms of shells.

Church and State Review. Saunders, 0 tley , and Co.
This is the first number of a new review, which,
though chiefly devoted to ecclesiastical matters,
does not wholly ignore secular concerns. Thus we
find articles on " Retrenchment," and on " The
Civil War in America," as well as on such topics as
" Hymnology," and " Marriage Licence, Special
and Ordinary." The form is similar to that of the
Saturday Review, but it is double the price, and
contains double the quantity of matter.

Temple Bar.
This instalment of "Captain Dangerous" is
scarcely equal to the last. The hero leaves Jamaica
after a quarrel with his mistress, the washerwoman,
and arrives in the low countries, where he saves a
rich Cockney from drowning, and enters his service.
" English Art from a French point of View" is a
translation by the editor of the first of a series of
articles on the English pictures in the International
Exhibition, contributed by Theophile Gautier to
the Manama., and does justice to our great masters. I
Thus, "In landscape, Gainsborough combines with
a purely natural expression a kind of Idyllic dreami-
ness, recalling the innermost yearnings of the soul.
How often must a wearied imagination, a jaded
fancy, sick of the tumult of towns, and tired of a
mundane career, have built for itself, with less
freshness and poetic feeling, it may be, but yet with
equal enthusiasm, such a retreat as Gainsborough's
"Cottage Door." How much real happiness seems to
dwell in this charming little nest, all hung with
garlands, which a stray sunbeam comes furtively
seeking through the deep shadows of the trees !
What tranquil dreams one might indulge in to the
music of the rivulet's murmur, as it runs before the
cottage threshold !" Under the head of "Amusing
Mossoo," Mr. Edmund Yates passes judgment on
London entertainments, being particularly hard on
music halls ; and the interest of "Aurora Floyd" is
well sustained.

Bentley's Miscellany.
Mr. Ainsworth's tale is in its third book. Thanks
to Mr. Candish, Tradescant and Chatteris are saved
from the Jews, and the former wins largely at play.
The writer of the " World's May Meeting" is severe
upon Captain Fowkes's architectural effort, which
he terms " the ugliest building ever seen except in
a nightmare ;" whilst he says that, "Ever since
they undertook their arduous duties, the Commis-
sioners appear to have had the Court of Bankruptcy
looming before them, and to have acted on a penny-
wise and pound-foolish principle." In " A Glance
at Rome in 1862" we have a description of the
Carnival, of the studios of the sculptors, and of the
Pepe ; and " A Day with the Alligators" will please
those interested in natural history or sport.

Macmillan's Magazine.

In Harriet Martineau's article, " The Brewing of
the American Storm," the conduct of the principal
American statesmen of whom she had personal
knowledge is discussed; and she says, "If the civil
war is to be laid to the charge of any one man, that
man is assuredly Daniel Webster." The tales " Ra-
vens'hoe" and " Vincenzo" are in progress. An un-
published poem of Shelley's, 'written in the Bay of
Terici, is given ; and there is an appreciative notice
of William Barnes, the Dorsetsbire poet. There is a
very useful paper, too, on " Management of the
Nursery ;" and in " Notes of a Tour through the
Border States," we meet with the following ac-
count of

DIRT IN TILE SLATE STATES.
"In old English books of travel about Switzerland, it
used to be a stock remark, that you could tell whether a
canton was Protestant or Catholic, by the relative cleanli-
ness or dirtiness of the towns. How far the fact was true,
or how far, if true, it established the truth of the Protes-
tant religion I could never determine ; but a similar con-
clusion may certainly be drawn with regard to the Free snd
Slave States. You may lay it down as a rule throughout
America, that wherever you fiad slavery, there you have
dirt also. Nashville, as I said before, is one of the cleanest
and brightest of towns at a distance ; but when you come
close the illusion vanishes. There is no excuse here for
want of cleanliness. The position of the town makes
drainage easy ; the stone used so plentifully is clean of
itself ; and water is abundant. The only thing wanting is
energy to keep the place clean. The hotel where I am
stopping is in itself an institution (in American phrase) of
the country. It is the best in the city ; and Nashville
was always celebrated as one of the most thriving and pro-
sperous cities in the South. Hotel keeping is not suffer-
ing, like other trading concerns, from the depression of the
moment. This hotel is crammed with guests, and hits
been crammed throughout the winter. Outside, it is hand-
soule enough; but, internally, I say without hesitation, it
is the dirtiest and worst managed hotel it was ever my for-
tune to stop in. The dirt is dirt of old standing, and the
mismanagement must be the growth of years long preced-
ing the days when Secession was first heard of. The bar,
as I mentioned, is closed by order; but the habitues still
hang about the scene of their former pleasures. In the hall
are a number of broken shattered chairs ; and here, with
their legs stretched in every conceivable position, a num-
ber of well dressed respectable persons loaf all day long,
smoking and chewing. They don't seem to have any-
thing to do, or much to say to each other; but
they sat here to kill time by looking at one
another. The floor is as dirty as successive strata
of tobacco juice can make it ; and, at the slightest symptom
of chill in the air, the stove is kindled to a red hot heat, and
the atmosphere is made as stifling as the cracks in the
doors will allow it to become."

Colburn's New Monthly.

In " Recent Acquisitions of the Russians in Cen-
tral Asia," we have a description of that imperfectly
known region, peopled by Tartar tribes of which
Russia is slowly but surely making itself master.
The tales in progress are " The Shadow of Ashly-
dyat," and " Granville de Vigne." Sir Nathaniel
gives a sketch of " Lord Falkland." The writer of
the article on " The Japanese " does not think their
condition so blissful as some have represented.
" Japan," he says, " cannot be allowed to live
solely for itself, and the Japanese must take their
place among the great families of nations for better
or for worse. The system of mistrust at home and
abroad—public and private spies being the most
prized and the beat paid of all services—a cynicism
exceeding that of the most servile and the most
gangrened epochs of Venetian society—a systematic
demoralization of youth and beauty—a disregard of
those forms which most distinguish man from beast ;
a natural piety enfeebled by the dogmas and cere-
monials of a barbarous and primitive age, and an
exclusiveness which is the offspring of a mistaken
policy, and of pride, fear, and ignorance, must all
gradually be made to disappear." The papers
Icalled " Episodes of the Fronde," and " A German
Soldier," are both readable.

Colburn's United Service Magazine.
This number opens with a review of Mr. Cob-
den's pamphlet on " The Three Panics," in which
the writer says Mr. Cobden's pamphlet is a
most able expose of the mismanagement of our
Naval Department, while the official mis-
statements which it so -thoroughly exposes
on points on which the country should
have the most correct information, if it has
any at all, are enough to shake the most ordinary
confidence in public men." There is a fifth article
on " The British Cavalry and its Organisation."
no pamphlet of Admiral Sir George Sartorius
on invasion rams and naval warfare is noticed, and
among other articles we may notice " Personal
Experience of American Politics," and" The Battle
of the Volturno," the latter being written by an
Anglo-Neapolitan officer of the Royal Army.

The Sixpenny Magazine.
Quantity and quality are both given here, and
three tales are progressing in the present number,
which also contains an essay on " Art Education,"
biographical notices, and articles on natural his-
tory, travel, and fables.

Newton's London Journal of Arts and Sciences.
The opening article treats of manufacturing ntu.

FEMALE SCHOOL OF ART-MEETING
AT TEE MANSION-HOUSE.

Yesterday afternoon a public meeting in aid of
the Female School of Art, situated at Queen-square,
Bloomsbury, was held at the Mansion house ; the
Lord Mayor presided, and was supported by Mr.
Tite, M.P., Mr. Westmacott, Professor Donaldson,
Alderman Rose, Mr. R. N. Fowler, Mr. Harry
Chester, Rev. A. W. Thorold, Rev. E. Bayley, &c.

Letters appologising for non-attendance were
read from Earl Granville and the Earl of Shaftes-
bury. Letters were also read from Colonel Phipps,bco
intimating that her Majesty the Queenhrad om
patron of the school, and that it was intention
to give to the pupils of the Female Schoolhe of Design
admission to the International Exhibition for three
days, during the time that the fee was fixed at
crown.half-
The letter announcing the fadmissions
a borethe date of the 17th of May, and her Majesty
had in accordance with her intentions granted 224
half-crown tickets.
Resolutions asserting the expediency and neces-
sity of making an effort to place the school on a
permanent and self .supporting basis were moved
and spoken to by the Rev. E. Bayley, Mr. West-
macott, Mr. H. Chester, and other gentlemen. In
the course of the addresses it Was stated that the
object of the institution was two-fold. First—
Partly to enable young women of the middle class
to obtain honourable and profitable employment,
and partly to improve ornamental design in manu-
factures, by improving the taste of the designer.
Since 1852 the number of students entered had been
846. The present number was 107, of whom 72
were studying with the view of maintaining them-
selves. If the element of rent could be struck off
the expenses, the income would balance the expen-
diture. It had therefore been resolved to purchase
the house 43, Queen-square. The appeal made in
1860 had yielded £2,037, and £1,500 more would
be required. It was earnestly hoped the present
appeal would be liberally responded to, not only by
the locality in which the schools were situated brit
by the metropolis. The institution was not of a
local character, and therefore it deserved general
support
The meeting terminated with a vote of thanks to
the chairman.

THE BANE OF DEPOSIT.—On the 23d inst. the
liability of the directors of the Bank of Deposit will be
tested in an action by one of the depositors against Lord
George Paget, a member of the late board. Tho action, Ave
understand, is brought in the Court of Common Pleas. The
Court of Common Pleas has twice this week refused to in-
terfere to stay the proceedings in Davies's case
Bank of Deposit; and it is understood that the effect of
against the
these decisions is to treat all deposit Ors as having placed
their money in the bank on deposit only, without any in-
tention on their part to incur liability as members of. the
association. This decision will make easy the remedies to
be pursued. by depositors against the members of the board
of direction.
