LITERATURE.

Colburn's United Service Magazine and Naval
and Military Journal. The most interesting
article in this magazine is a long memoir of the
late Lieutenant-General Sir Charles James Napier.
A portrait is prefixed to it. It is remarked—" We
do not suppose any of our readers to be unac-
quainted with the eventful life of Sir Charles
Napier, but it will be, we are sure, a pleasure to
them and to us to enumerate once more the most
striking features in the course of a man who ranks
among the bravest and wisest to whom this country
has given birth, and who, while he possessed a
mind and intellect in every way in keeping with
the advancement of our own era, yet retained a
singleness of heart and a self-devoting spirit that
would have ranked him among the brightest orna-
ments of the age of knightly chivalry." " St.
Cyr" is the subject chosen in the present descrip-
tion of military schools and colleges in France ; it
was the residence of Madame de Maintenon. A
third article is given on the " Organisation of the
Russian Army," which is likely to prove a source
of interest to many readers at this juncture.

The Art Journal.—Two of the plates in this
number are from paintings in the Vernon Gallery.
They are " The Monk," by E. V. Rippingille, and
" Dry Reading," by A. Geddies, R.A. The other
engraving is of the statue of Flora, by R. J. Wyatt.
The " Illustrated Almanac of the Month" is con-
tinued. An illustrated article of the exhibition of
decorative furniture at Gore House is very interest-
ing and elegant. No. XXIII. of the " Great Mas-
ters of 'Art" continues the account of Gabriel
Thetsu, a French painter of the last century.
"An Artist's Ramble from Antwerp to Rome" is
continued. One of the most curious papers is on
the domestic manners of the English during the
middle ages. The illustrations have a very singu-
lar and amusing effect. Subscribers to the Art
Journal are informed that, in carrying out their
intention, of engraving the whole of the pictures in
the Vernon Gallery, the publishers are compelled
to engrave some which are not satisfactory ; but
they consider this disadvantage will be compen-
sated for by the completeness of the collection.
They assert that several of the most beautiful have
yet to appear—such as the " Peace and War" of
Landseer, the " Dame's School" of Webster, and
the " Hamlet" of Maclise. Such a prospect ought
to render subscribers contented with any inter-
vening deficiencies.

Prince a falsehood—namely, that the entrance of
our ships into the Dardanelles was intended to
coerce the patriotic population of Constantinople,
and so mitigate the wrath of the Czar—at that very
moment, the Turk, with a spark of the old spirit
which nearly conquered Europe and struck down
the iron oligarchy of the Mamelukes, threw off the
fetters, or rather the nets and meshes of diplomacy
with which England had trammelled his limbs, and
declared that, come weal, come woe, he at least
would not sacrifice his honour, but die with his
scymitar in his hand, and in the broad light of day.
Will England desert him now ? Englishmen, such
is the position of affairs abroad. Are they better
at home ? For what do you keep in power the
present Ministry ? What have they done to de-
serve your confidence ? Is it because they sacri-
fice the honour of England's soldiery—that soldiery
that never sacrificed their own—to propitiate the
Romish priests of Ireland Is it because by
their procrastinations and imbecility they have
paralysed the commerce of England in the East of
Europe, and thrown doubt and confusion over every
transaction in that quarter ? Is it because by their
financial arrangements you will have to meet large
demands which were never calculated on in the
budget? Is it because you have got the income tax
for seven years, on the faith of a pledge that the
price of all consumable articles would be reduced,
and you have to pay it, with bread at 10d. per 41b.,
and wheat at 70s.—not to say 80s.—a quarter ?Is it
because they have encouraged a bubble trade to Aus-
tralia, where the markets are glutted and the goods
lying unsaleable? Is it because they have managed
to produce a fall of 10 per cent. in the funds, and
that you have only 15 millions of gold in the Bank
against 22 last year, notwithstanding the enor-
mous sums imported from Australia ? Again we
ask, for which of these good things the men of
England support the Ministry of Lord Aberdeen ?
But we hope for better things. We believe that
the people of England will insist upon having a
man for their representative and chief. Symptoms
are not wanting that such is the case. Sheffield has
has spoken, Stafford has pronounced, and Leicester
has emphatically declared her opinions. In a few
days we shall have to record the expression of the
feeling entertained.by the metropolis of the world
—how long to be so, if these things are permitted ?
—and we have no doubt that feeling will be spoken
in a voice of thunder—that England has been be-
trayed—that her allies have been deserted—that
her great name has been disgraced--and that the
Coalition which has done all these things, and more
also, shall no longer cumber her councils, or con-
tinue to make her a bye-word through the world
and cowardice.
for treachery, meanness,

THE NEIV METROPOLITAN CATTLE MARKET.

Yesterday, in the afternoon, the members of the
Markets Improvement Committee, appointed by the
Corporation of the City of London, to carry out the
details connected with the new Metropolitan Cattle
Market, in Copenhagen-fields, proceeded, in company
with the chairman, Henry L. Taylor, Esq., to the site,
near Holloway, for the purpose of inspecting the pro-
gress of the works, the whole of they ascertained to be
in a very premising state of forwardness, considering the
gigantic character of the undertaking. The levelling
and preparation of the ground, for the market itself, for
the several roads and approaches, for the cattle lairs,
the public and private slaughter-houses, and other
works, present to the public, now, something like a
rough outline of the vastness as well as the fit-
ness of the plan prepared for the purpose by Mr.
Bunning, the city architect. In order that visitors
may obtain a more complete bird's-eye view of
the whole of the arrangements proposed, the commit-
tee have caused a temporary but substantial platform
(approachable by several steps) to be erected ; the place
upon which it stands being the identical spot upon which
will be built the market banking-houses. This erection,
which will be surmounted by a clock-tower, will show
twelve frontages. Its situation will be exactly in the
centre of the great square, or market, enclosing 15 acres
and 4 perches of ground, intended solely for the penning
of sheep and the tying of bullocks brought for sale.
Within this area there will be ample room for the accom-
modation of 40,320 sheep ; and, allowing two feet of
rail for each bullock, 6,794 bullocks may be "tied" there.
The Corporation of the City of London having declared
their intention of carrying into execution the act
of Parliament (14th and 15th Vict., cap. 61, denomi-
nated the "Metropolitan Market Act, 1851,") out
of their own funds, the tolls, &c., will be received
by. the Lord Mayor, Aldermen, and Commons for
their own use, and may be paid and applied as they
may direct." When the market-place, slaughter-houses,
and conveniences, now in the course of construction,
have been provided, and a table of tolls and payments pre-
pared, the days for holding the market will be ap-
pointed ; after which the committee will have to report
what they have done to one of her Majesty's principal
Secretaries of State, to which report a copy of the
table of tolls and payments, fixed as aforesaid, will have
to be annexed. Then it will be lawful for such Secre-
tary of State to fix a time for the opening of the mar-
ket and slaughter-houses, and, " by a notice under his
hand, to be published in the London Gazette, to notify
that such market-places and slaughter-houses have been
provided," also specifying " the time when the same
will be opened." From that time " Smithfield-market
will cease to be a market for the sale ofcattle and horses ;"
and from the time that it is officially notified that such is
the case, the markets for such purposes will be holden in
the respective places provided under the "Metropolitan
Market Acts," such markets to be deemed "public mar-
kets." No " new market for the sale of cattle or horses"
to be afterwards " opened in the City of London or
Westminster, or the liberties thereof, or the Borough of
Southwark, or at any place distant less than 7 miles in
a straight line from St. Paul's Cathedral, in the City of
London." It has been reported by some party, whose
statement is not to be relied upon, that " the new mar-
ket will be opened for the sale of cattle at the ensuing
Christmas Show." The work which has to be accom-
plished before the opening can take place, and the stipu-
lations of the statute as to the official process which
must be gone through before the whole of the market
and the conveniences connected therewith can be de-
clared, in Parliamentary parlance, " provided and fixed,"
proves the rumour to be unfounded. The committee
themselves believe, that the Christmas of 1854 is the
most likely period for the opening of the new market.
