any great curiosity in the minds of the hablcjl
readers of that publication, there are several who" ei
will be found on perusal to be disseminative
much curious and valuable information. I°td
will care nowadays, we fancy, to examine
cautious scrutiny the paper dedicated to a I."i
of the two volumes recently ushered into the iv,
by Earl Grey--because that paper, as wig ijo
anticipated, is little else than an empty parieglo
upon that statesman's blundering and unpoP4
scheme of " Colonial Administration." Altogto
it simply amounts to a party eulogium on a °,
book, printed by some other than the official ,40,
ter to the Houses of Parliament. Nobody, ag'oe
will feel disposed to devour with eagerness
tyl
argument conveyed through the pages of ,
article relating to the " Natives of India and t'lt
Manners"—because that article, in point of fac'o,
merely an apology for the views lately annell.ll,d
by Sir Charles Wood in his character as Presiu
of the Board of Control—an apology but
tricked out in the shreds and patches of 014
impartiality. It will be different with the mai° 0
of intelligent readers, however, in reference to
charming chapter of historical gossip is allusion t° 14
character and appearance of the ." Austrian C°l

Nothing could well be more allorio
than the style adopted by the reviewer in recoloi
ing some of the incidents in that " strange even,io
history" which makes up the miraculous narrPoie
of the rise and development of the fortunes of
odder'
of of Hapsburg-Lorraine. Among the eciu
of the episodes introduced by the critic in the C01i,.;
d
of his chequered lucubrations, about the straq)
is the description given of the power, pomp,self-sufficiency of the great minister of xatel
Theresa, the Moravian-born and Austrian-adeVter
statesman, the Prince Von Kaunitz. The minisp
who was at once a consummate diplomatist alivef
ridiculous petit-maitre ! The man who ile„g
would allow his reader to name death or small-rid

nothing sillier in the way of abject praise was e'ets
uttered than this. Joseph Ir. was, doubtlelle
great man, and a most remarkable charaoter--'l.l
noblest reformer who ever wore the inaParioe diadeni—but to speak of him as the reviewer
speaks of him, is nothing better than to write one„,

of the age of Elizabeth. A store of useful inforel

An additional chapter about the last war--tilig

time arising out of a notice of " Larpent's

last of the funereal panegyrics on the Duke "t
Wellington. There are two papers in the pres°l3,
number of the Edinburgh yet unnoticed—but tiv"
which will at once command attention to theol:a
selves—one refers to " The French Navy,"
other to the "Relations of England with China '"
the former bearing forcibly on
the prevent„
of affairs in Turkey, the latter to one of the Dile
extraordinary events of the present century,
great Asiatic Revolution.

Dissertation on the Origin and Connection of 11'4
Gospels. By J. Smith. Blackwood.
To those interested in the study and analysis of
different works, this volume presents great attr
tion. It gives a synopsis of the parallel passages
the original and authorised version, with critil
notes. The chief part consists of a compariscn
similar passages in the three Gospels of St. Nilo;
thew, St. Mark, and St. Luke. St. John is no
ton comparison, tligt

accountincluded, a

t a
t of an independeo
eye-witness, relating it in his own words, and
it was obvious there could be no documented
agreement between them. The studious and
,quiring_reader will find in this analysis much toi
interest him. It should be added that the origiofi"
Greek bf each passage is given in the three versions`

The object of this work is to improve the condi-

writer so much to explain their peculiar habits 031.

wretched condition and the urgent necessity ffr

a better and purer religion to guide them for tii
future. Throughout th pages of this volume eye
have a description of the country and the 1111;
fortunate people who inhabit the valleys of ,
Ansyreeh. In the last chapter the most inforloa;
tion will he foUnd, and in the preface the autlll9o
advises the reader to refer to it for details of t 9
plans he thinks it desirable to carry out. Fr°ra
his accounts it appears to be the peculiar mission
of our country to hasten to the work of regell°l,
tion, for the only European people at all known
the natives are the Russians and the English. ,0
the former they have no confidence, but to the
latter they look with hone. "As they are PIIY6
cally a fine race, so their natural understanding ;9
very good; and they have a great desire of dislll3o't
ing the little they know." They are at pret
almost totally, ignorant, and their religion ttev

keep a profound secret ; but they declared 0v li
and over again to .the author that if the Eng-,-
settled among them they would abandon that re-
serve, as they now maintain it from fear.
