LE FULLET.

Often as we have commended the style in which
the plates of the fashions are executed in Le Follet—
a title by the way of rather questionable delicacy
we are induced each month to notice them again. In
time Le Follet must supersede all other fashionable
brochures.

SIMMONDS' COLONIAL MAGAZINE.
As the magazine devoted to the record of our
colonial movements, Sirnmonds' always commands
attention. And, considering that our possessions are
evincing a progressive development—with a compara-
tively few exceptions—the interest of the Colonial
Magazine naturally increases in a relative proportion.

Numerous are the maps just now in course of

better, in point of size, arrangement, colouring, or
execution, than those contained in Mr. Sharpe's

THE MAN IN THE MOON. Edited by Albert
Smith and Angus B. Reach.
The Man in the Ttloon is as glorious as ever this
month. His cuts, both pictorial and personal, are
admirable.

THE PATRICIAN. Edited by John Burke, Esq.,
Author of the Peerage.
In addition to the usual amount of interesting
genealogical and antiquarian information, which we are
sure to find in the pages of the Patrician, the present
number gives us the family history of some of the
new Members of the new Parliament, from which we
extract the following sketches of Messrs. w. J. Fox
and Feargus O'Connor :
" W. J. Fox, the Chartist Member for Oldham, was
born on the Ist March, 1766, in a farmhouse near
Wrentham, in Suffolk, and at the age of twelve earned
his livelihood as a weaverboy at Norwich. At fourteen,
the loom was exchanged for the htvikor's desk, and in

this employment be passed the next six years, during
which time ho carried on assiduously the work of self-
education, and mastered a tolerably extensive range of
learning, which enabled him, within a short time, to
enter on the ministry of the Gospel, and to issue forth as
a teacher of the people. Some time after he separated
from the religious body among whom he had been bred,
the Calvinistic Independents, and became the pastor of an
Unitarian congregation at Chichester, whence he re-
moved to London in 1817, and has from that time
remained in the metropolis connected with Finsbury
Chapel. He has been an occasional contributor to the
Westminster Review, and was the writer of the numerous
letters in the League newspaper, signed A Norwich
Weaver Boy.' The other leader of the Chartists in the
new Parliament, Mr. Feargus O'Connor, is by birth an
Irishman of respectable descent, and inherited a small
patrimonial estate in the county of Cork. His uncle,
the celebrated Arthur O'Connor, was heir-at-law to the
late Lord Longueville, but his Lordship not approving of
the line of politics adopted by Mr. O'Connor, bequeathed
his property to more distant relations—eventually
Arthur O'Connor entered the French service, and attain-
ing high military rank was well known as General Con-
dorcet O'Connor. Mr. Feargus O'Connor has long been
before the publie as editor of the Northern Star, and
suffered incarceration a few years since in York gaol for
sedition."
