MISCELLANEOUS.

Tait's Edinburgh Journal opens with the con-
clusion of the article on Moliere, which is interest-
ing to all admirers of the French drama. " Norman
Hamilton" is continued, and is to be completed next
number. No. 12 of the " Governments of Conti-
nental Europe" is devoted to the Two Sicilies.
" The Night Side of Civilisation" treats of
a most important subject the criminal po-
pulation of our large towns. " Leaves
from the Arabian Nights" gives the tale of the
little "Hunchback" in comic rhyme.—The Farmer's
Magazine has an engraving of "A Hereford Bull,"
and a design for a building for farms of 200 to 1400
acres. A description of the plan is added. No. 44
of the letters on " Agriculture and the Rural Po-
pulation Abroad," gives an account of the valley of
the Rhone. There are numerous reports of club
meetings, &c.—The Ladies' Companion contains
a variety of tales and verses, of which the most
worthy of notice are " The Race for -Gold," by
Miss Pardoe, and " Letters to a Friend on Teaching
the Piano."—The Work Table has some elegant
illustrations, and there is a portrait of Adelaide
Kemble.—Chambers' Edinburgh Journal gives its
usual scientific and instructive articles. It
would render this excellent journal more attractive
if a few lighter subjects were added to its contents.
The second volume of Chambers' Repository of
Instructive and Amusing Tracts has appeared, and
presents us with information and entertainment.
—The Church of England Magazine contains its
general amount of theological and religious trea-
tises, and a picture of Ludlow Church.—Lc Follet
has three graceful plates. The chief contents
are, the conclusion of " Lyddy Ragan's Choice," and
some verses for music, entitled " Old Faces."
