it which all may read with pleasure, and which will
commend itself to readers of very opposite ways of
thinking.
THE ECLECTIC.—The contents this month take a
wide range, from Robertson of Brighton, to the
Maharajah sect in Western India, from Danish
literature, to the Methodists of the Backwoods, and
it is prOportionately interesting to the reader, since
the subjects are, as usual, treated with clearness
and ability.
THE BOYS' OWN MAGAZINE. THE BOYS'
MONTHLY MAGAZINE.—Mr. Beeton's two pleasant
serials are still as attractive as ever. They are not
boys books of such reading as boys really like and
would naturally choose, full of exciting narratives,
of hair breadth 'scapes and snares, and perils of
flood and field, with anecdotes of natural history
and natural science, and many another wonder in
art and nature.

THE SIXPENNY MAGAZINE.--A new story is
begun in this part, besides the many others that are
going on. The career of Louisa of Prussia is the
subject of a brief sketch, and there are articles on
the manners and customs of the Cubans, Russian
markets and bazaars, and George Fox, the founder
of Quakerism. The seventh part of Popular Phy-
siology is devoted to the nerves.

AQUATICS.

SCULLERS' RACE FOR £lOO.

The contest between Kilsby, of the Old Barge-
house, and Thomas Wise, of Hammersmith, came
off yesterday, although the cutting south..
easterly wind was not at all calculated to heighten
the pleasure of out-door amusements. The stakes
were £lOO, and the course was from Putney to
Barnes Bridge.

The usual preliminaries were gone through, and
at a quarter-past three both men rowed to their
respective stations, Wise takingthe Middlesex shore,
and Kilsby the opposite. At starting Wise took
the lead, and gradually increased it to between two
and three lengths off the Crab Tree. Nothing oc-
curred of anyimportance until the two men reached
Chiswick Eyot, where several barges lying off there
caused Wise to go outside the craft, and Kilsby, by
rowing inside, was enabled by that lucky chance
considerably to decrease the lead of his opponent,
but when they cleared the barges Wise was still
leading by about two lengths, which he soon in.
creased to six or eight.

After they crossed the water, which was very
lumpy, Wise was completely at sea, as we may
say, as he seemed to be entirely at a loss how to
get through the surf. Kilsby seeing the difficulty
in which his opponent was involved put on an ex-
tra spurt, and seemed as if he was going to over-
haul him, but, nearing the bridge, the water was
somewhat smoother, and thus Wise was enabled
to row in a winner by about two lengths.
Betting at starting was 2 to 1 on Wise, but
during the race 20 to 1 was bet ou hint.

The Fenian Trials.

DUBLIN, Monday.
The trial of O'Leary was resumed this morning.
Several witnesses were examined. Their evidence
was mostly the same as that on the trial of Luby.
Mr. Butt commenced his.
,defence for the prisoner
at half-past four. He minutely explained the law
bearing on the case, and adjured the jury not to be
swayed by the disgrace which the prisoner's connec-
tion with the Irish People might attach to him in
their minds. On this O'Leary interrupted him,
saying he considered his connection with that paper
no disgrace. Mr. Butt complimented him on the
manliness of his avowal, and admitted he himself
thought more of some articles in that paper than
many in other journals of slavish loyalty. The
Solicitor-General replies to-morrow morning, and
the case is likely to conclude in the course of to-
morrow.

Aylward, a clerk in the General Valuation-office,
was arrested to-day. Several documents of a revo-
lutionary character were found on his person. He
was brought up and remanded.
