MISCELLANEOUS.

The Metropolitan this month contains the conclu-
sion of Mrs. Tinsley's beautiful tale " The Storm and
the Conflict," and the commencement of "The Gold-
seekers in the Sacramento," abridged from the French
of Paul Duplessis. One of the best papers in this ma-
gazine is on " Juvenile Depravity," by the Editor.
We perceive that various articles from the same pen,
which we recently commented on in the Metropolitan,
have been published in a little brochure, en-
titled " Cigars and Tobacco, Wine and Women
as they Are, by a Modern Epicurean." The
People's and flowitt's Journal commences a new
series. Its contents, as usual, present an agree-
able compound of the useful and the amusing.
Among its poetical writers is Charles Mackay.
Of a similar character is a new periodical,
entitled the Home Circle, which numbers
among its contributors Miss Agnes Strickland.
" Who are the Hungarians P"—is a question answered
by Chambers in a very interesting manner. "How
much misery and mischief would be avoided," says
the writer of this article, " if rulers would take the
trouble to learn the A B C of polity and morality 1'
The Church of England Magazine preserves its usual
interesting and useful characteristics as a manual of
reading for the several Sundays in the month. The
Land we Live In very appropriately makes Dublin and
its environs the subject of consideration this month.
In addition to the accustomed pencil illustrations of
the pen-and-ink descriptions, we have here an excel-
lent map of the environs of Dublin. The Colonial
Magazine and East India Review, the Colonial
Church Chronicle, and the Evangelical Magazine
and 2124eionary Chronicle treat with sufficient ability
of colonial and missionary subjects. Macphail's
Edinburgh Journal contains the first part of " Horce
Davidse, in which a beautiful and most merited
panegyric is pronounced upon those sublime strains
"which have soothed, instructed, and comforted the pious
and the penitent of mankind for three thousand years."
Ainsworth's Magazine contains this month the final
chapters of the brilliant, if not, in this instance, quite
"ad mirable,:: prichtpn. "Guy Fawkes" is continuep4
-thos- _Rine AsSemblie is adorned with is. portrajtsof
Rowena, the fair rival of the dark haired RebeeCi.
Le Follet, graceful as ever; contains this month some
beautiful fishing costumes. The Gazette of Fashion
furnishes a variety of fanciful dresses for gentlemen.
Frank Fairlegh, animated with his wonted spirit,
continues to appear in monthly parts ; and to turn
again from the gay to the grave, we have to notice
the National Library of Select Literature, which this
month contains the first part of Dr. Kitto's Bible
History. Under the title of the Catholic Pulpit Mr.
Dolman is issuing a publication containing some of the
best sermons recently preached in Catholic churches,
among others translations from the eloquent Lacordaire.
This volume will, without doubt, be acceptable to
members of that communion for which it is designed.
