LITERATURE.

THE MAGAZINES.

Blackwood.—lf Maga this month falls foul of
John Ruskin, it evinces towards Henry Morley the
most generous, and towards Mary Mitford the
most tender, genial, loving, nay reverent, appre-
ciation.
The introductory paper for the June
instalment is an encomiastic analysis of the auto-
biography of " Jerome Cardan," of Milan, mystic
and physician—the memoir penned by the writer
of the life of the ingenious potter, " Palissy." The
criticism is as kindly in tone, and almost as coin-
mendatory as the one devoted not very long since
to the thoughtful effusions of Mr. Helps, writings
as popular as " Friends in Council" and " Com-
panions of my Solitude." The opportunity afforded
to Ebony for graceful eulogiums on " Mary Russell
Mitford," an opportunity o which the reviewer has
not been slow to avail himself, has originated,
of course, in the publication very lately of
"Atherton," and other tales of the charming writer
of " Our Village." "Our Village," says Blackwood,
"is now a classic, and of age enough to hold its place
unsupported in the ranks of modern literature."
Between these two complimentary articles, one on
Henry Morley, the other on Mary Mitford, the
former a new corner, the latter an old favourite, is
introduced a curious chapter enough, entitled for
the nonce " Young Bengal." It opens with the
subjoined apology for the fame of a satiric ballad
from the Anti-Jacobin, an apology presented to
the public under the guise of a passing word of
explanation.

" Our contemporary, the Westminster Review, some time
ago expressed his astonishment at the wide and enduring
popularity of Mr. Canning,'s Knifegrinder. It appears easy
enough to account for it by 'remembering the deep and
universal truth it contains. The friend of humanity ac-
costs a man apparently in very miserable circumstances,
and invites a confidential communication of his grievances
—inferring that they are, of course, owing to some one or
other of the class who wear brpadcloth and wash their
hands. ' Was it the squire, the parson of the parish, or
the attorney ?' Alas ! for the disappointed sympathiser;
he meets with a recital of physieal annoyances caused by
the sufferer's own misconduct, backed by an appeal for
pecuniary assistance, which he, the philanthropist, indig-
nantly repels ! It is the correctness of this example which
the world—dull dog as it is generally accounted—has per-
ceived and honoured." ,

After the gentle greeting of open-handed wel-
come and warm-hearted farewell addressed to the
venerable lady-Mithor of " Atherton," comes " A
Letter from Madrid," dated from the Spanish
capital, May 2, 1854, and signed Vedette. It
affords us a timely peep into the social and po-
litical turmoil excited among the people of the
peninsula by M. Sartorius, Count of San L •
as the chief of the existing Spanish Govern-
ment. Vedette accuses Sartorius of aiming
at the revival of absolutism—observing that his
Cabinet " has adopted as its rule of conduct a ser-
vile and ludicrous imitation of the Emperor Napo-
leon III." A dangerous experiment, good Count
of San Luis—perilous for Isabella and propitious
for Monteruolin ! We can scarcely question that
its effects are now being watched with no casual
vigilance by 'the Carlists generally, by Cabrera par-
ticularly, indiscriminately too by Moderados and
Progressistas. Ultimately, perhaps before very
long, there may come the anticipated day of
reckoning. It was not for the revival of absolutism
that the succession was altered, and the Salique
law abolished ! Trevor improves upon acquaint..
ance. His present metrical contribution, consist-
ing of some twenty pages of blank verse, entitled
" The Villa," is the best production from his hand
that has yet, to our knowledge, made its appearance.
An important paper, shewing "The Recent Growth
of the United States of America," abounds with
valuable statistics, laboriously collected, well
digested, and lucidly arranged. " The Secret of
Stoke Manor : a Family History "—the oddest
of romantic eccentricities—appears to promise be-
yond the present yet stranger revelations. A brief
article on " The Glasgow Exhibitions to Oxford "
completes the number, but this final contribution
to the June instalment, is preceded by the on-
slaught already referred to, the determined and
almost furious onslaught upon Mr. Ruskin in re-
fecence to his strictures on Painting and Architec-
ture. Ferocious though the onslaught is, however,
it is scarcely surprising that Maga should be roused
even to such anger, the southern stranger dealt
with having had,the "exquisite good taste" to go
down to Scotland, apparently for the especial pur-
pose of abusing their beautiful and palatial city of
Edinburgh.

and, while the Emperor of Russia is the puffed puPpet of a ;
rotten social organisation, the Emperor of the French '
directs with a firm and vigorous hand an administrative
system which, for unity and complex simplicity, has per-
haps no parallel in the world. The Emperor of Russia
has proclaimed himself arrogant, haughty, passionate, ,
vindictive at baffled treachery ; the Emperor of the French
has shown himself dignified, calm, reasonable, and tempe-
rate in the consciousness of loyal purposes. The one em-
bodies despotism in its most, the other in its least, odious
aspect."
A curious modulation of tone in regard to the
Emperor Napoleon lll.—whom Fraser speaks of
as respectfully and warmly to-day as it spoke of
him scurrilously and even ferociously yesterday I
After another instalment of " General Bounce,"
comes an eulogistic notice of Admiral Smyth's
learned and timely treatise on the Mediterranean.
A still more eulogistic notice is given shortly after-
wards by another reviewer, whose criticism, in-
deed, is scarcely so much a criticism as a panegyric.
Allusion is made to the genial and really charming
contribution devoted to the consideration of the
poems recently given to the world by the elder
brother of the Laureate—Mr. Frederick Tennyson.
The paper is exquisitely NI rotten throughout, and
evinces on the part of the writer the subtlest appre-
ciation of-the beautiful. There may be an appa-
rent inconsistency between the views enunciated
in this particular article, and those advanced by the
poetic reviewer of Fraser in former contributions
of a similar character—but for our own part (and
we speak dispassionately as dissenting from his
opinions upon the divine art rather frequently) we
cannot recognise in that seeming inconsistency
any actual contradiction. The passage given be-
low from this exceedingly graceful tribute to Mr.
Frederick Tennyson is worthy of reiterated quota-
tion. It could only have been penned by one
(whoever he may be) who is himself, in heart and
feeling, a perfect gentleman. The critic has been
alluding to Ovid as " arsnob and a cockney," and
to Tibullus and Propertius as, " in spite of all their
fopperies," gentlemen ; and he adds—

"And yet we cannot describe what makes a gentleman,
or a gentleman-like poet. Not always good birth, for
Shelley was as well-born a man as Byron; and yet Shelley
is again and again vulgar ; Byron seldom, perhaps never.
Good birth does not make it; and vet good birth gives an
opportunity, which nothing else wdoes. Our late 'First
Gentleman of England,' as base a man, perhaps, as ever
lived, had the trick of it : his brother and successor, a bet-
ter man than he, had not. One has seen a few thoroughly
vulgar noblemen; many vulgar-hearted onefi, who yet
were outwardly blameless in their bearing, and could
smile and emile, and be a snob,' if not worse. And yet,
when a man of their class has the 4 grand air' in heart and
spirit, as well as in the lip and letter, we pity him who
does not feel the power and beauty of the spell. The man
must be listened to, even when he is talking common-
places ; must be obeyed, even when he is doing common-
places. Valiant men on paper, or at the hustings, kick and
protest against him like lions ; and when they come face
to face with him, are gentle as lambs ; at which the mob
cry out that they too are `flunkies' at heart, and love a
title, and are traitors to the cause; and yet, if the mob
itself comes within reach of the same spell, they do even
as the flunkies and as the traitors, and bow down and wor-
ship that indefinable quality which makes them, whether
they will or not, feel that the gentleman possesses some-
thing beautiful in itself, which their human instinct
enables them to admire, even though they may at moments
attempt to justify themselves for not possessing it, by
denying its excellence."

Dublin University.—ln this number the story of
" Sir atsper Carew" is brought "to a termination ;
and it will doubtless be to the regret of many who
have perused from time to time its stirring sketches
and entertaining anecdotes. It ends satisfactorily,
inasmuch as the heir is restored to the house of his
ancestors, and after the wild storms of his early
years there comes a calm. However, there is the
drawback of his being nearly worn out with his
preceding sorrows and annoyances, and having been
bereft by death of many dear and cherished friends.
He was solitary, too, after his toils and wander-
ings ; he did not rejoice in a home and the posses-
sion of descendants to carry down to posterity the
memory of his long line. He was the last of the
Carews of Castle Carew. " Yes, kind reader, and
these, too, are our last words to you. Would that
anything in these memorials of a life may have
served to lighten a weary hour or softened a mo-
ment of suffering, since to the higher purposes of
instruction or improvement they lay no claim. At
all events, think of me as one too deeply conscious
of his own faults to hide or to extenuate them, and
too sincerely sensible of his good fortune not to
strive to extend its blessings to others. Adieu."
" Midsummer with the Muses" is a very pleasing
sketch. Epitomising some of the later productions
of the present race of poets, the most meritorious
among those here cited is Bode, whose ballads from
Herodotus are very fine. The one on " Thermo-
pyla3" is quoted here, and the last scene of the third
day is effectively described
"Seek yonder pass by the cold sea,
Where Pyhe's walls are steep ;
For there lie Sparta's hundreds three,
Sleeping a glorious sleep !
Search every land, beneath the sky,
Tell every nation's name;
For there the true throe hundred lie,
Reaping an endless fame !"
" French Dramatists and Actors" is continued, and
two ladies are selected as subjects for notice—
Mdlle. Dumesnil and Mdlle. Clairon. Le Kain
is
also mentioned as an instance in which genius sur-
mounted as many impediments as were ever met
with on the stage.

Besides the foregoing, there are in Regina for
June three other readable contributions.

Colburn's New Monthly.—There are three articles
in this number on the never-ending Turkish sub-
ject. They consist of an account of " The Black
Sea Provinces," a notice of " Haxthausen's Trans-
caucasia," and "The Turkish Campaign of 1829."
No. XX. of " Literary Leaflets" is devoted to the
departed celebrity, Professor Wilson. A somewhat
lengthy criticism, which is impartially written, will
interest his numerous admirers. " American
Authorship," by the same industrious writer, de-
scribes one of the most successful, James Russell
Lowell. Ho is less known in this country than
many of his compatriots, and the extracts here given
may serve to introduce his eccentric humour and
vigorous style to some readers. " A Day at Mal-
vern," by the author of " The Unholy Wish," is a
sequel to " A Visit to Worcester," which was re-
cently published. This writer certainly deals in
the marvellous, for in this tale of every-day life a for-
tune-teller's predictions are marvellously fulfilled.
However, as the moral is always unexceptionable,
the impressive nature of his stories may have a
beneficial effect. The entertaining diary of .a first
winter at Rome is continued. The poetical contri-
butions consist of war-song by Nicholas Michell,
and some very pleasing and striking verses from the
graceful pen of Mrs. Acton TindaL

Bentley's Mlsceltany . —The present number opens
with a memoir of the late Marquis of Anglesey, ac-
companied by a portrait. The " History of the
Theatres of London" is proceeded with. "The
Two Angels," from the pen of Professor Longfellow,
shows his usual poetic taste and expression, though
the meaning is some what obscure. A paper on
the singular animal, "The Ant-Eater," gives an
instructive account of the habits and peculiarities
of this recent introduction to our menageries. The
author of " Christie Johnstone," &e., has com-
menced a new tale with the poetic title of " Clouds
and Sunshine," which appellation is somewhat in
contrast to those which he usually selects. The
continuation of "Aspen Court" is unavoidably
postponed till July. The readers of Bentley will
miss it with regret. Of course, there are two po-
litical articles, " Affairs in Turkey," and " Our
Policy towards Austria and Prussia." The for-
mer corrects some generally-received notions on
Turkish manners. "Haps and MiShaps of a Tour
in Europe" are still descriptive of Ireland. There
aro several instalments of the unfinished articles,
and the commencement of a series entitled "My
Aviary."

Ainsworth. -- " Nicholas Flamers" adventures
continue to occupy their usual place, and he does
not appear to be at all near the point of a happy
conclusion or satisfactory unravelment of his diffi-
culties. No. 1 of " A few Chapters on the
Working Classes," by E. Rowsell, opens a new
subject. The usual tales are continued ; among
them we may mention " A Village Tale," by
Gustav Nieritz, and " Hereward, of Brunne," an
old Saxon tale. The only poetical contribution is
by G. W. Thornbury, the " Rhymings of a
Rhymer."

Fraser.—Another remarkable analysis of the
strength of the Russian maritime armament, as
well as of the method of its general organisation,
appears this month in Fraser's Magazine. it is full
of curious, and, we believe, reliable statistics, and
will be found, on perusal, to be replete with im-
portant information. It is by no means surprising
to find the place of honour awarde,d to it, whether
we consider the paramount interest of the subject
itself just now, or the ability with whif:h that sub-
ject is treated by the contributor. From the spirited
and melodious war song which appears immediately
afterwards, with " G. M." as its initial signature,
we extract the animating verses subjoined :
" By the Angels of Heaven I our Cause is so holy,
That dread of the Sequel is God to distrust;
At home, in His Presence, we are not less lowly,
Because we here chorus Success to the Just!

" In the law' of the motherly fears that alarm her,
The Might she must gi apple, the numbers defy,
Old England serenely has girded her armour,
The Foe of Tradition her faithful Ally.

The Gentleman's.—" Leaves from a Russian
Parterre" is the first subject here treated of. The
work is entitled "Secret History," but it is observed
that it is not so much secret as unknown to English
readers. The Russian senate does not appear to be
very ably arrang-ed or appointed. The members of
it are principally soldiers, who are never promoted
until they are too old and stupid to learn the duties
of the office :--

"On the fields of renown, when the iron rain rattles,
And red through the smoke flash the long lines of flame,
They will not forget that the great God of Battles
Requires a pure soul and a chivalrous aim.

"We are told by. Mr. Schnitzler that- a -manuscript
has -been found in the handwriting of the Empress
Elizabeth Petrowna, in which she had taken notes of the
names of the officers of the guards, their term of service,
their conduct, the distinctions Or the punishnients
awarded to them, &e., and in which this singular note'
was found under one of the names—'Dismissed from the
guard, and sent to be a senator, on account of shallow
intellect and improper behaviour.' This is authentic,
and the following anecdote has the same quality to re-
commend it. In 1827, Cancrine, the minister of finance,
presided in the senate at the adjudication of the farming
of spirituous liquors. One of his friends seeing him
there, asked him with a smile whether he had ever en-
couraged the idea of his being a senator I Why not I'
replied that very sensible man, ' when we become old,
must we not expect to be again in the company of
children ?' "

Some remarks are made on the " History of
Christianity," in which passages are quoted that
explain the nature of the first disputes and
differences that occurred between the King
and Beckett. " Our Lady of Montserrat" con-
tains an interesting legend of Ignatius Loyola.
" Montserrat had much to do with the change of
the knight of chivalry and hero of romance into a
hero of the acto sanctorum." He was going on a
pilgrimage when ho encountered a Moorish knight.
Ignatius having mentioned the object of his jour-
ney to his companion, a dispute arose. Ignatius
challenged the Moor, who, however, fled. Igna-
tius was about to follow, when, remembering his
vow, and the name he had taken as " Knight of
the 'Virgin," he_ abandoned pursuit, and hastened
to Montserrat, where "he hung his sword to a
pillar near the altar, as a sign of the 'renunciation
of earthly warfare," and left on his new mission.
"Memorials of Amelia Opie" will furnish the reader
with some interesting accounts of that distinguished
writer.

• • • • -
" By the Angels that see us! this Cause is so holy,
We'll send our last ship and last man to the fight ;
Still singing, while Faith in our bosom prays lowly,
Farewell, gallant brothers, Success to the Right !"
An article, entitled "Forlorn Hope," after
the name given to his boat by the gallant Dr.
M'Cormack, recounts the final effort made in the
way of search after Sir John Franklin. The writer
of this enthralling but lamentably disappointing
chapter of arctic adventure, closes his remarks with
the avowal of his conviction that "the time has
come when, with full hearts, we must bid adieu to
Hope, and turn to Resignation." From the next
contribution to the pages of Regina, a paper on
" The Personnel of the Russo-European Question,"
we give the following earnest tribute to the imperial
ally of England, the Emperor Napoleon 111. :
" The Emperor of the French is our ally, and in that ca-
pacity demands a suspension, at least, of the controversy
his career has provoked. In our tableau he fills a conspi-
cuous place. He, like the Emperor of Russia, personifies
an idea of military force ; but, unlike the Emperor of
Russia, he does not use it to oppress or conquer his neigh-
bours. While the Emperor of Russia has been the tempter
and the conspirator, the Emperor of the French has been
the loyal upholder of the honour of his country, and the
steady advocate of j ustice. Claiming inheritance from the
greatest conqueror of modern times, he uses his heritage
on the solemn pledge that the age of conquest is past. The
last Emperor of Russia helped in raising Europe to crush
and punish the last Emperor of the French; now the
not-hew of that vanquished conqueror steps forward to
check the rapacity of the Emperor of Russia. In one re-
apect, there is too- much resemblance between the two
monarchs ; that is to say, iu the despotic character of their
rule, and in the suppression of opinion by which it is ac-
companied. For the Emperor of the French is urged the
plea of necessity ; while the omnipotence of the Emperor
of Russia argues choice. At all events, the despotism of
the one is employed for good, while that of the other is
devoted to evil. The Emperor of the French seeks appa-
rently to represent a sort of midway state between the
heaven-derived patriarchalism of Russian theory, and the
ianarchy of democracy which resulted from French prac-
tice. The genius of Liberty presides at least over his
councils, if it does not direct his domestic government ;

HANOVER-SQUARE ROOMS.—The Misses M'Alpine
have announced their annual concert for Tuesday next,
the 6th inst., under the distinguished patronage of the
Duchess of Sutherland, the Marchionesses of Abercorn
and Drogheda, and several other leaders of the bristo-
cracy. A fashionable and crowded attendance may be
anticipated on that evening from the high estimation in
which the qualifications of those accomplished ladies are
deservedly held, as well as from the attraction presented
by the array of talent engaged for the occasion. Mr.
Sims Reeves and Mar Jame Amadei are to contribute
their powerful assistance, with other celebrated artistes.
blExto&N BONDHOLDERS.—On Tuesday evening, Mr.
J. L. Rickards entertained a distinguished party at
dinner at Gloucester-terrace, Regent's-park, previous to
his departure for Mexico, on the 2d inst. (to-day), as
commissioner to represent the interests of the Mexican.
bondholders. Among the company present were—His
Excellency the Mexican Minister, Sir Castello y Lanzas ;
Mr. Charles M‘Gaul, chairman ; Mr. David Robertson,
deputy-chairman; and several members of the commit.
tee of Mexican' bondholders ; Sir Fitzroy Kelly, M.P.,
Colonel North, M.P., Mr. Macartney, M.P., Mr.
Grogan, M.P., Mr. Alexander, M.P., the Rev. T. J.
Judkin, Mr. Henderson, Mr. C. Tagart, Mr. Sadler,
Mr, Sancton Wood, Mr. G. W. Harris, Mr, Heians,
Mr, Mow); &c., &c.
