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 Ma.melukes, threw off the
fetters, or rather the nets and meshes o f 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 EngiAnd in the East of
Europe, and thrown doubt and connisioil over every
transaction in that quarter ? Is it becauso their
financial arrangements you will have to nie,9t large
demands which were never calculated on Li- the
budget? Is it because you have got the income tax
for seven years, on the faith of a pledge that tue
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 2
—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 disg,raced—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
for treachery, meanness, and cowardice.
