THE COURT MAGAZINE.
Ed. Churton.

The embellishments of this Number are a half-length
portrait of the Right Hon. Lady Emily Esther Anne Hes-
keth, by Cochran, from a paint►ng by Mrs. Mee ; and an
engravino. from Daniell's well-known picture of the " Life-
boat." Lady Hesketh's countenance is full of intelligence ;
and as she sits looking at you she seems to read your inmost
thoughts with as much ease as she would the text of a book.
The Lady of my Lord," by T. H. Bayley, iS calculated to
give the deepest pain to a lady of high rank, for whose ge-
nius we have the highest respect. The publication of such
verses is, to say the very least, exceedingly unmanly. There
are several very light agreeable articles in this Number.

THE ASIATIC JOURNAL. Allen and Co.

The inscription on the Temple of Horsha, Shekawati,
given in one of the articles in this Number, throws a consi-
derable light on the Hindu system of theology. We re-
gret exceedingly that we cannot make room for it, in con-
sequence of the heavy press of Parliamentary matter ; but
we recommend it to the notice of learned Orientalists. The
account of the Durgahs and Mahomedan Saints of Hin-
dostan is a mere recapitulation of the worst superstitions of
the Church of Rome. To the Catholic priesthood in ge-
neral we recommend the careful perusal of this article.
As Miracle-mongers and Scapularian dealers they are clearly
behind the Brahminical priesthood. The article on the
Indian Press is too general.

Mara.
Gentlemen of the military profession will be delighted to
find in this Number the whole of the Austrian Articles of
War. They amount to forty in number, and the usual
penalty for a breach of each is death by hanging or shoot-
ing. Corporal punishments of a lesser kind are not so
much as alluded to, unless the term be presumed to in-
clude privations in the matter of pay, and restrictions on
personal liberty. We doubt much whether the article in
which the Duke of Wellington is made to appear a greater
military commander than Hannibal, Julius Cmsar, and
Napoleon, will not be regarded rather in the light of broad
extravagance, than as the deliberate opinion of any man
conversant with the personal history of these Generals.
We by no means wish to detract from the well-earned
military reputation of the Noble Duke ; but we do not
fear to assert, that were it not for the defeat of Napoleon
at Waterloo, the world would no more think of comparing
the military genius of Wellington to that Bonaparte, than
it would of comparing the glimmer of a rushlight to the
fulgence of the sun at noon-day. " Leaves froM my Log-book"
is a continuation of one of the most amusing yarns
,we
have met with out of the pages of Marryat and ()haulier
—the Turners and Westalls of ocean scenery and dialogue.

THE LADY'S MAGAZINE.
Dobbs, Paye, and Co.
An interesting Memoir of Madame Sevignt, illustrated
with a full length portrait of that celebrated Lady, from the
original painting at Versailles, forms the leading attraction
of this elegant periodical for the present month. She is
represented holding in her hand a letter addressed to her
cousin the Count de Bussy Robutin. For a description of
her costume, which is as singular as can well be imagined,
we must refer our readers to the periodical itself. In one
thing only are wo disappointed. We had no idea that F..ho
was so very beautiful as she is here represented, Of the
letter-press little requires to be said, The tales are, as they
ought to be, of a light, elegant, and sketchy character,

comparing Campbell's Letters to an 01la Podrida! Why,
you might as well compare them to a dish of trifles! No,
no—to those who have the misfortune never to have tasted
a real Scotch haggis, we can convey no adequate idea of
these letters. Campbell tells the stories of his woes so
agreeably, that one is almost tempted to wish, in the peru-
sal of his letters, that he had been subjected to more an-
noyances, provided they were not too serious. For example,
nothing can be finer than his description of himself sitting
up for a whole night, horse-whip in hand, to keep the rats
f'rom devouring his cataplasm. In a more serious part of
his letters, he complains of the inhumanity of Marshal Clau-
se], the French Governor.

" Mildred Pemberton," by Miss Landon, and " Illustra-
tions of Irish Pride," by Mrs. Hall; have Much of the beau-
ties, as well as the peculiarities, of these elegant and popu-
lar writers. Our chief objection to both is, that the one is
always painting scenes of t,qualor, and the other delights in
making the young and lovely miserable. Hovels are not
the places to seek illustrations of national character ; nor is
every young and lovely maiden doomed to be disappointed
in love. The article on " American Liberty and Slavery"
is a good one—full of very interesting matter.

THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZIAE.
Simphin and Marshall.
We only received this Magazine as we were preparing
to go to press. This must be our apology for merely no-
ticing its appearance this month. No 11. of the Gallery
of " Illustrious Irishmen" contains a biographical sketch of
Henry Grattan, evidently written with much care.
