LITERATURE.
a UTE MISTORY OF PFNDENNIS. No. V.
By W. 11. Thacheray.
There is a complete break up of the dramatis
persona assembled at Chatteris and its neighbourhood
in the present number. Pen and his friend Faker
! leave for Oxford, and consequently the poor curate,
Smirke, who has ventured to hint to Pen his love fur
liele n, Pen's mother, and has been awfully snubbed
then 3for, has no longer the excuse of being Pen's
tutor, for his visits to Fairoaks. The Major departs
to spend the shooting season with some of his aristo-
crats c friends, and Miss Fotheringay, having procured
a metropolitan engagement, sets off with her father for
London. This number is replete with sarcastic wit,
and ever and anon the hypocrisies of society are
"shown up'' in a vein not unworthy of Rochefou-
cauld himself. Take the following as an example :
" How lonely are we in the world; how selfiz-h and
secret, everybody! You and your wife have pressed the
same pillow for forty years, and fancy yourselves
united. Psha, does she cry out when you have the
gout, or do you lie awake when she h4s the tooth-ache?
Your artless daughter, seemingly all innocence and de-
voted to her mamma and her piano-lesson, is thinking of
neither, but with the young Lieutenant with whom she
danced at the last ball—the honest frank boy just re-
turned from school is secretly speculating upon the mo-
ney you will give him, and the debt he ewes the tart-
man. The old grandmother crooning in the corner and
bound to another world within a few months, has some
business or cares which are quite private and her own.
Very likely she is thinking of fifty years back, and that
night when she made such an impression, and danced a
cotillon with the Captain before your father proposed
for her; or, what a silly little over-rated creature your
wife is, and how absurdly you are infatuated about her
—and, as for your wife-0 philosophic reader, answer
and say—Do you tell her all? Ah, sir—a distinct uni-
verse walks about under your hat and under mine—all
things in nature are different to each—the woman we
look at has not the same features, the dish we eat from .
has not the same taste to the one and the other—you
and I are but a pair of infinite isolations, with some
fellow-islands a little more or less near to us."

MACPIIAIL'S EDINBURGH ECCLESI-
ASTICAL JOURNAL.
Although we can seldom find an opportunity of
noticing this small but deserving periodical—pub-
lished monthly in the city of Edinburgh—we cannot
refrain from noticing the contents of the current
number for March ; if only to transcribe the follow-
ing passage in reference to Macaulay, the historian :
" Beyond almost any Member of Parliament whose
services have benefited a constituency, Mr. Macaulay
has upheld the genuine character of a representative of
the best intellect, the best morality, and the deliberate
judgment of his constituency, as distinguished from the
degraded position of a mere delegate sent to the House of
Legislature to vote according to the directions given to
him by the party whose influence put him there. As a
Member of Parliament, the position held by Mr. Ma-
caulay was honourable to himself and the city of Edin-
burgh, as the position held by his successor, the present
Member, is discreditable to him and to the faction who
elected him. Above all, Mr. Macaulay is a man of that
class, the rarity of which is one of the most unhappy and
threatening signs of the times—to whom in the discharge
of his duty, the hissings and hootings of the l oople
whose interests he desires to serve, are more agreeable
than their applause would be, if that applause were
gained by any base pandering to their passions, or any
deceitful flattering of their ignorance. His desire has
been with Cato, rather to b 2, than appear to be a good
man. It was the manly sincerity of his character, his
high sense of what the honour of a gentleman ought to
be, and his bold assertion of the independence of the
office of a representative, that lost for him his seat in Par-
, liament at the late election, and lost to the city of Edin-
burgh the honour and advantages of his services. There
was at that time, over the country, a run against talent,
and independence, and honour, and a thirst after servi-
lity and ignorance—and the spirit of the season drove
Mr. Macaulay into retirement, and made a senator of
Mr. Charles Cowan. The choice was fortunate for Mr.
Macaulay's fame, which the publication of this great his
torical work will go far to increase, and fortunate for
the world, which we trust is destined to reap the most
solid advantages from his literary leisure."
Tlis eulogium—so eminently well deserved, and
so forceful in coming from the city which has repu-
diated her great representative—occurs in the course
of a rather highflown and even hyperbolical panegyric
upon Mr. Macaulay's " History of England." Be-
sides this review, there are other criticisms of a
somewhat more discriminating character in refer-
ence to the poetry of Aird and_to the biography of
Campbell.
