through bungholes enlarged for the purpose. On the
return of the boats, the blubber is placed in iron tanks
in the hold, or kept in barrels, and the skins after being
salted are stowed away in heaps.
" When the seals are very numerous, and all hands
are employed in their pursuit, the separation of the skins
is not instantly made, the entrails only being extracted,
after which the seals are promiscuously thrown into the
tanks. At a later period, when the vessel is at sea in
search of more flocks' the arrangement of the skins and
blubber is proceeded with at leisure ; the great thing
being to profit as much as possible by a run of luck. In
this manner captains frequently complete their cargoes
in two or three hunts, whilst others, separated from the
ice fields by insurmountable obstacles, see from the mast-
head flocks of seals which they cannot reach. It is then
that large vessels have the advantage over small ones;
because, when forced on by a press of sail, their weight,
sad the strength of their hulls, enable them to force a
way through the floating ice. Every effort is then made
to give the ship increased powers of resisting the pressure
of the ice, but it is seldom that accidents or wrecks
occur."

Fraser.—The first article is on the interesting
subject of Psychology. It is founded on a work
recently published which is entitled "Psychological
Inquiries : a Series of Essays intended to Illustrate
the Mutual Relations of the Physical OrgaTsation
and Mental Faculties." It cites many curious in-
stances of the effects of derangements of the
nerves. " The Turk and his Future"
is a paper on
the question that now engrosses the attention of
Europe. It is remarked that whatever may be the
feeling of the more enlightened Turks towards their
Western Allies, the Moslem of the old school re-
gards the presence of our fleets and armies as the
beginning of sorrows. It is' affirmed that the
people themselves believe in a destiny which will

to learn the escape of " Cousin Charlie" from all
the dangers that threatened him, to which is
added in this instalment a shipwreck on his way.
home. Affairs appear to be likely to be satisfac-
torily arranged between the lovers. " A Lady's
Unpublished Journal of Travel" gives an interest-
ing account of visits to Antwerp, Cologne, and the
Alps. A second paper on the Russian Army con-
tains much information respecting their military
arrangements. There are also articles on our
Public Schools and the Indian question, and some
very pleasing verses entitled " Autumnalia : a
Dirge, and its Answer."

Ainsworth's Magazine.—There are several stories
in this number, some of which are romantic, and
others more of a satirical style. "A Dream of a Re-
venge" is a most awful narrative. It consists of the
plan of a young lady to revenge herself for some
slights that she had received. It ended in her poison-
ing herself, and some time afterwards her revenge
succeeded, for Henry Mowbray followed her exam-
ple. " The Robber's Wife" is continued. It becomes
more complicated. Leopold Kliebes resolves to fly
away and begin a new life in a foreign land, but
the plan is frustrated, and he is left a prisoner.
" An Unfortunate Day" is an amusing sketch of the
series of accidents and varied annoyances that befel
an individual in the course of one day. His child
swallowed a ten-pound-note at breakfast ; his purse
was taken in the railway, &c. " The Last of the
House" is continued, and is very melancholy. A
robbery is committed, and Merton takes leave of
the Wallfords for ever.

Dublin University.—One of the most entertain-
ing articles in this periodical is entitled " Biogra-
phical Sketches and Notices." In it are given
brief but effective delineations of many celebrated
and interesting personages. Marshal Turenne is
the first sketch. It is said that he was in- '
tended for the Church, his parents asserting that
he was too delicate to be allowed to follow his own
will and enter the army. In order to prove the
falsity of this declaration, Turenne stole away ono
night, " and was found the next morning asleep
upon a cannon on the ramparts of Sedan." After
this exploit he was allowed to follow his own
course. It is observed that a great proof of his
merit was given after his death, when the great
Cond6 exclaimed, when he was puzzled by some
dilemma previous to a battle—" What would I
now give for a quarter of an hour's conversation
with the ghost of Turenne." Inez de Castro is
another name that appears. It is mentioned that
the sad fate of this princess has been the subject of
five tragedies, two in English, one in French, one
in Spanish, and one in Portuguese. The awful
scene, unparalleled in history, is described
when Don Pedro showed his souse of the wrongs
done to his beautiful young wife by having her
body taken from the grave, to receive in death the
crown and sceptre which had been denied her in
life. " Lope de Vega" was a celebrated Spanish
poet—he was of the class that writes more than
can be road in a life-time. It is said more than
" twenty-one million and three hundred thousand
of his lines have actually been printed." Made-
moiselle de Maupin was a very remarkable charac-
ter, more to be wondered at than admired. Her
exploits are amusingly related. The two Michael
Angelos are the last personages recorded here. It
is observed that they are often confounded with
each other, although the first died before the second
was born. " Mosses upon Grave-stones" is con-
tinued, and increases in mystery as it proceeds.
The private life of Lord and Lady Roseville is de-
scribed to Morton by a discarded valet of the earl.
This recital discloses some of the horrors perpe-
trated by Lord C—, of whom Morton was in
chase, and of whose life and actions he desired ear-
nestly to be informed. " The Three Mr. Smiths :
a Scene in the Far West," is a very lively little
account of the mistakes and misunderstandings that
arose from the plurality of names commencing with
S. " Gleanings in Corn Fields" contains some
Pleasing verses among the prose remarks. One of
the best is thus entitled, " Epicedium," on one
nterred in a military cemetery
I heard the blithe strain that I know
Once sounded so sweetly to thee,
When the future seemed bright to thy view,
And the present was joyous and free.
I heard them, and thought of the days
When I saw thee in beauty's young bloom ;
Alas ! thou art lost to my gaze,
Thy relics are cold in tho tomb.
But fair is the scene of thy rest—
There laurels with cypresses wave ;
For Honour those precincts hath blest,
Where thou sleeps't in the midst of the brave.
There many a trophy gleams bright
O'er warriors that peacefully lie ;
Still comrades in death they unite,
And none but the valiant are nigh.
And oft-times sweet Echo is there,
She cones to waft music around—
The drum's distant boom on the air,
The bugle's afar-swelling sound.
They blend with the voice of the sea
That sighs round the isle's sandy verge,
With the low murm'ring breeze—and for thee
They breathe as in chorus a dirge.
Pure spirit ! though few were thy years,
Mature were thy mind and thy worth ;
And bedew'd with the tenderest tears
Thy form was consigned to the earth.
But sweet is thy mem'ry ;—we know
For thee it was blessed to die ;
Thy dust is with heroes below,
Thy soul amid angels on high."

Bentley's Miscellany.—The first article is on
the Boulogne fetes and the French Emperor. It
contains nothing -very new, but takes a quiet and
impartial view of the aspect of affairs. A paper
entitled " Sevastopol" gives long extracts from Mr.
Scott's travels in the Baltic and Black Sea.
" Aspen Court" is continued in two chapters, the
last of a painful interest. It narrates how all
the considerate plans for breaking gently to the
afflicted mother the dangerous illness of her child
are defeated by her tyrannical and unfeeling hus-
band. At the same time, it is scarcely likely, and
certainly not very prudent, for two gentlemen to
stand talking secrets on one side of a large cur-
tain. The narrative of " Arthur Arden, the
Medical Student," relates a startling catastrophe
