QUAP.TERLY REVIEW. No. CX.
Murray. London, 1836.
The grievous disappointments to which the Conserva-
tives ha-re of late been subjected, seem not to have been
withrJut their benumbing effect on this leading organ of
.sth party. Where it was once bold and uncompromising,
it is now tame and deferential

g was left for the Tories out to hang their harps on
the willows, like the dal,
and bewail their ha :is'aters of Babylon, and sit down

We have been iible to detect in the present Number, is in
the notice of Mr,. Walsh's " Chapters of Contemporary His-
tory:, where, the Reviewer, lashing himself, though not
without an effort, into something like a passion, bursts out
into tine following tirade :
that th Though we need not have hesitated to state our belief
Conservative leaders in Parliament are by no means
anxious to see the present Administration cashiered—we do
not hesitate to express our own opinion that, whether we look
to domestic or forrn questions, the time is at hand when all I
the Conservative energies- of the country must be concen-
trated on a vigorous effort to bring about that result. We arc
loth to stoop from high to the lowest of the low—but
we must say that we think thematters Conservatives will be very much
U„
hil'eae if they do not make good use of the sentiments of
,utterable scorn and disgust which have been within these
'el" weeks raised in every class of the community—save one
or two knots of filthy intriguers and a herd of base expectants
--by the developement of a set of jobs more outrageous to the
bcrr
°wll---the Peerage—and the people—than was ever beforeof
°ught home to any set of persons assuming the name
statesmen..
The close of this passage is fierce and scurrilous enough,
tl-It'agh at direct variance with the commencement ; for if the
Ministry be so bad as they are here represented to be, is it to
he supposed that the 44 Conservative leaders in Parliament,"
'would not be anxious to see them 44 cashiered ?" If they
save no such anxiety, then they must be traitors to their
Principles ; and if they have, then their present disin-
clination to manifest it, is tantamount to a confession
that their party is in the last stage of political decrepitude.
Token either way, the Reviewer's observations tell against
illinself---but this just now is quite a matter of course with
the Tories, who, whether in Parlizment or out of Parlia-
ment, have scarcely allowed a day to elapse, since the corn-
nleacernent of the session, without committing some egre-
glens blunder. All their usual tact and sagacity have de-
serted them ; they are struck with a panic deeper than
that which affected the Stock Exchange in the year 1825,
'and seem literally at their wits' end. That they will ever
recover their senses is doubtful, and assuredly by no means
to be desiderated, 44 Dinners and Clubs " is an entertain-
ing notice of the late Mr. Walker's " Original," in which
patch culinary erudition is displeyed. The Reviewer ex-
°n on the pleasures of the table with a gusto that gives
"e quite an appetite ; and speaks, with the veneration
they deserve, of the invaluable qualities of a " bottle of
143°° es d old port." Nor does he affect to sneer at the cepa-
ie
of a boiled " edge-bone of beef ;" a forbearance for

„,,_ -EN c yct OPiEDIA BRITANNICA.
.4.-,” Part before
us is the fourth of the twelfth volume
t:h this Encycloptedia—the best of its kind in the language,
a e illai°ritY of its contributors ranking foremost among the
tabors
arid of the day, for their acquaintance with art, science,
general literature. The historical article on Italy is

carefully and eloquently penned by one who is well versed
in his subject, and has the art of rendering it (trite as it
may be) extremely interesting to his readers ; the same may
be said of the account of the rise and progress of the sugar
plantations of Jamaica. The plates arc chiefly on Ichthyo-
logical subjects, and are neatly engraved.

SCOTT'S PROSE WORKS. Vol. XXIII.
Cadell. London, 1836.
This volume contains the " Tales of a Grandfather," one
of the most popular of Sir Walter Scott's prose composi-
tions—and is embellished with an exquisite engraving of
Stirling Castle, from an original design executed in Tur-
ner's most poetic style.

WALKER'S PRONOUNCING DICTIONARY.
Cadell. London, 1836.

This edition, by Mr. Smart, of that valuable work, Wal-
ker's Critical Pronouncing English Dictionary, is here brought
to a conclusion, and unquestionably is by far the completest of
any that has yet appeared. The present Part, which is the
tenth, contains some useful observations on the pronun-
ciation of Greek, Latin, and Scripture names, from which
the English student, who is acquainted only with his mother
tongue, will derive many beneficial hints.

CHURTON'S BRITISH POETS.
E. Churton. London, 1836.
Completes the works of Milton, and contains some few
of his hymns, and the whole of his Latin poems. The
Number is embellished with a passable engraving from Mar-
tin's well-known painting of the " Crucifixion."

THE ASSEMBLED COMMONS.
Churton, London, 1836.

A serviceable little volume, embracing accounts of each
Member of Parliament, particularly of his family, his de-
scent, political opinions, &c., together with the state of the
polls at the last elections. The work is of most convenient
size, and is embellished with a sketch of the interior of the
House of Commons.

BEN BRACE, THE LAST OF NELSON'S
AGA2IIEMNONS.
al' CAPTAIN CIIAMIER, R.N.
In Three Vols. R. Bentley. London, 1836.
This is just such a yarn as we should expect from the
mouth of the identical veteran whose autobiography it pur-
ports to be. We have all the quaint humour, the garru-
lity, the strange mixture of dare-devil courage and supersti-
tious fear, the recklessness of consequences, and the im-
passioned impulses by which the superannuated tar is dis-
tinguished from that portion of God's creatures known on
board ship by the style and title of " lani-lubbers." Much,
however, as we like " Ben Brace," we do not think it
equal to the author's novel of the " Unfortunate Man.'
Its great faults are diffuseness, and want of power in the
impassioned scenes—faults, of which we found no traces in
the novel just mentioned. " Ben Brace" will certainly
become popular—and deservedly.
