MISCELLANEOUS.

Tait's Edinburgh Magazine opens with a paper
on " The Character and Modifications of Slavery."
" Norman Hamilton" is at length concluded.
There is an article on " The Story of Ruth," re-
cently published by the author of "Mary Barton."
" The Governments of Continental Europe" has
reached Chap. XIII., and is devoted to Tuscany.
" The Poets and Profits" is an amusing satire, which
professes to believe that most of the poems of
the present day are written with the intention
of exciting amusement and not admiration.
The two plates of The Sporting Review re-
present " Joe Miller," the winner of the Ches-
ter and Ascot Cups last year, and " A Rat !"
The three little terriers looking into the water at
their victim, are particularly well done. There
is a variety of subjects of sporting -interest. TM
Ladies' companion has its general assortment of
tales and verses. " The Work Table" and the
" Child's Corner" occupy their usual place. It
forms a light and pleasing miscellany to amuse all
idle hour. The Farmers' Magazine gives us two
engravings, one of "A North Devon," and the other
of " Levity," the property of J. Cockerell, Esq.
The first subject is " Peat Charcoal ; its Peculiar
Applicability." There is an article by Cuth-
bert Johnson, F.R.S., on " The Connection of
v Meteorology with Agriculture."?. gin ; There
