The anecdotes of the new work for youth,
entitled the " Historical Traveller," are not solely con-
fined to the vicissitudes of war. Natural phenomena,—
such es earthquakes, volcanic eruptions, inundations, and
visitatiovs of the plague,--afford some very curious arti-
cles to the work ; as well as the history of many valuable
isventiore, and of the progress of the fine sod useful arts.

SI IRIT OF THE PUBLIC JOURNALS.

Before another number of our Paper shall be in
the hands of our readers, the Ministerial plan of Re-
form, and that of their opponents (for it is under-
stood that the Opposition have also their plan), will
have been communicated. Every other question at
this moment ceases to interest. All sorts of reports
have been circulated respecting the plan of Ministers.
It would seem, from the determination of the Op-
position to meet it with a plan of their own, that
they are determined, whatever Ministers propose
shall be objectionable. It is taken for granted,
by all parties, that same Reform must be granted;
but, if we may credit the adherents of Sir Robert
Peel, the House being little disposed to Re-
form, they who propose the lowest in amount
will be the most acceptable. We -are, therefore,
to have a sort of Dutch auction, on the un-
derstanding that Parliament will close with the
party who propose the least extensive Reform. The
Opposition, too, it is said, build their hopes on the
difficulty of the crisis. Should the House prove re-
fractory, Ministers, they say, will not dare to venture
on a dissolution. But in such a case Ministers
ought to hazard a dissolution. In the present state
of the public mind, great exertions would unques•
tionably be made to return men of sound principles
to Parliament. One strong pull may save the people
from the necessity of much subsequent exertion to
little purpose. And as to Ireland, an election in
that country may, indeed, be at present an unpleasant
affair; but it will not surely be said that there is at
present any disposition in the people to attempt a
forcible separation of the two kingdoms. We may
wait long enough, we fear, before Ireland shall be
in a state to enter on an election with calmness.
We do not believe that Ministers have anything to
apprehend. The King is with them-. There is not
a man in his dominions who does not know that
the word of the Monarch may always be implicitly
relied on. If Ministers be true to themselves; their
Sovereign will not desert them. With the country
with them, and a Sovereign like William IV., what
have they to fear ? The public may not be alto-
gether satisfied with the Budget, and Ministers may
tiot in other respects be without their errors ; but
the people believe them sincere and holiest. Let
them do nothing to forfeit that confidence, ant! they
will triumph over all the attempts of their enemies.
The people will pardon anything rather than fraud
and dishonesty. Already they have done wonders
in the Navy. The Court of Chancery is, for the
first time, about to be freed from what has made it
the scourge of the people. The double diplomacy
by which England, while pretending at home a re-
gard to the forms of freedom, was secretly abetting
despotism in every country, has received its death-
blow. The people know to whom they are indebted
for these blessings. Let Ministers proceed boldly
in the path of their duty, and the phantoms con-
jured up by the opponents of Reform to scare them
will instantly vanish.—•ll'lorning Chronicle.

This evening will present the singular phenome-
non of a Alinistry proposing a Reform in Parlia-
ment. The provisions of the Bill which Lord John
Russell is to introduce are, of course, unknown,—
except so far as medicine may be guessed at where
the nature of the disease is notorious,—the course
oft
of the decay in
hePiinii)gknife the maybe pointed out by the ex-
tent tree. There is, therefore,
reason to believe that the measure will be an exten-
sive and a searching one, leaving scarcely ally
branch of the subject untouched, and rooting out
all the rotten patty of our representative system. We
are ercived now at the grand crisis for which the
country has been so long preparing itself—a Reform
or a dissolution within a few days or hours !—a Re-
form, or the immediate re-appearance of those who
resist the just demands of the nation before their
constituents! But it is impossible that the Reform
should not be admitted; for, if rejected, it is ob-
vious that all connection whatever between the men
from thenceforth assembling themselves in West-
minster and the people of England is at an end !
They are unknown to us ! They have no kind of
connexion or sympathy with us. They cannot be
Englishmen. They cannot have heard of what la
