there is, as usual,
a rollicking, frollicking, dashing
lillerrirnent that is quite contagious, and which is

I* planet Neptune bears not the slightest resem-
blancele
to Canning's knife-grin der—" Story, God
bless You! it has some to tell' sir ;" and the contri-
butor, who has become its mouthpiece, tells the oar-
!Vire of its discovery with all the zest of a lover of
hobgoblins and of an enthusiast in astronomic re-
search. " A Leaf from an old Log" has all the fit-
Your of a weavelly biscuit; it is a yarn of touch
sprightliness. The " Tale of the Sea' appears to be
ofindefinite length, for it continues to wind out coil

w AND CAMBRIDGE REVIEW.
Whatc. we have throughout, from first to last, re-
iriaed as clearly as God's sun at the noon-day the
teeVOrd and Cambridge Review has only now de-
tb:"- We mean about the principles, or, rather,
70-Principles by which Michelet is actuated in
the literary compositions. Thus speaks the organ of
two Universities :
At length the mask is thrown off—or more charitably,
inci,
p,. we believe, more truly—at length the plant is full
r„fh, the germ has reached its development,—Michelet
•

this
our readers that at a time when religious men in
bLeountry, even good Churchmen, were more than

posee itt. him simply an assailant of the abuses of

the '; Whose weapons, while they seemed hurled against

'Pierced, through to the very vitals of Christianity. We
wh„,ti, :chiefly by the writings of M. Kiear Qainet,
y. ir0;1721- Michelet, admitted to be his alter ego, that it

-4- nit ey;:ilivrre end. eavouring to propagate.
in now d tam has openly proclaimed that this is
__ the case—now at last he avers that he not only
:04 the salie lengths with his yoke-fellow, but that he
to
04 goes beyond him ; for the first time he sets himself
thLPPese Christianity. We are glad that it has come to
toto..;ltry
. Ff
enceforth the influence of Michelet in our own
will be trivial—inappreciable. He may continue
no,.,aY the mind of La Jeune France, but hire, among
7es, he will be powerless. Even in France, we
ope'7l
inclined to think, his popularity will suffer by the
rhheation of the present work. He had better have
ti7ained where he was, the advocate of a vague Pan-
theism, than have declared himself, as be now has, a
colltl a mere Voltairist. foist, negative, precise, and
ma' cars never attract men. Pantheism, positive, vague,
glowing, has at all times a charm, and for this ge-
04e.t
t. which is struggling out of selfishness into love,
bav °L exclusiveness into catholicity, it must of nece9sity
„4„,e a most peculiar one. Michelet, with all his power,
ti;11 scarcely, we think, win men over generally from
lov.Poetic and imaginative, to the more intellectual and
Seal creed. He will fin-1 followers, no doubt—but
we
should expect a division from henceforth in the
ea
• . veils of La Jenne Fiance—a schism between the
uill teheletists and the Quinetists—wherein the former,
x'eas we are much mistaken, will be the minority.
'fen if Qainet himself succumbs to the stronger mind
kid keener intellect of his ci devant friend and present
versary, the school of Quiret will remain ; in a na-
tion of warm and poetic temperament Deism can never
Absorb Pantheism."
All this is correct enough, but with a ludicrous
exaggeration in regard to the importance of M. Mi-
chelet. The writer need have no fear that such a man
as Michelet will sway the mind of La Jenne France,
while such a man as the young Count de Montalem-
bert is in existence. The leadership of La Jeune
France is the natural and avowed prerogative of le Jenne
• homme ! Michelet writes like one whose principle of
life is galvanism ; the divine afflatus is not for the
like of him; his book-shelves are the very shambles
of literature; his own works, though for a while
adorned by an ephemeral glitter will, in the end, rot
and putrifv, and be forgotten like the very garbage.
The magazine sustains its character.

TAIT'S it' AG AZ IA E.
George Gilfillan has commenced in the present
number a series of "'Liter-ark Portraits of Female
authors"—repudiating, we presume, the vulgarism
of authoresses. We regret that this brilliant critic
t
11,58 abandoned the sketches he had already begun of
writers, for notwithstanding his very blunder-
ing estimate of the poetic genius of Alfred Tenny-
-4°ol we were solicitous to hear his utterances upon
Charles Dickens, upon Thomas Noon Talfourd, upon
b"uglas Jerrold, and the like. These delineations,
'We trust, are however only postponed. " Mrs.
41ernaus " is considered in the present number, and
Nve think very justly denied the too•frequently-
lb • I;sed title of a poet. For her exquisite womanliness,
for her passionate susceptibility, for her graceful and
musical diction, we read her with the same enthusiasm
4_B does Mr. Gilfillan, but we agree with him she was
r',o Poet. A songstress she was—a lyric nightingale
She was as much as Mademoiselle Jenny Lind—but
she was no poet. The article is cleverly written.
°Peaking of the Liberator, Tait observes:—" O'Con-
nell was the most kingly man of these days. his
crown was indeed a cap, but his power was not cere-
monial, but real. He was the hero of his country-
nume In the eyes of the Liberals of Europe he was
the august voice of an oppressed nation. Roman
Catholic Europe revered him as the sainted champion
of Religion." The remaining articles are varied, and
Some of them excellent.

FINE ARTS.
EQUESTRIAN PORTRAIT OF HER
MAJESTY. By Count D'Orsay.
We have had the pleasure of inspecting this remark-
able production of art, and can testify to its singular
beauty. The marvel is how so faithful a likeness could
be produced entirely from recollection. Her Majesty is
represented on horseback, clothed in a riding habit of
brilliant scarlet velvet, wearing a Lincoln green cap,
with a plume of ostrich feathers " scattering" about in
the breeze. Perhaps thepost.conspicuous characteristic
of the composition is its extraordinary animation. The
charger, a beautiful creature, worthy of its Royal Mis-
tress, seems to be bounding at a canter out of the can-
/us. Among the almost innumerable representations
of our beloved Sovereign this is certainly about the very
best as a correct portraiwrc of the features, and it is
unquestionably the most striking for effect and general
!nvention. As we looked at the painting we were
irresistibly reminded of the graphic and Baffonic
de-
scription by Milton of the creation of the lion—

---- pawing to get free its hinder parts,
Then springs as broke from bonds, and rampant shakes
His brindled mane."
There was the same visible glorying in the horse before
us, whether it was indicative of his love of freedom from
the loosened reins, or of pride at his costly burden; for,
as the adage saith, " the horse knoweth his rider." If
we wished for a text for a churlish disparagement we
might say that in the forelegs of the animal there is
11,
e?m ewhat of the clumsiness of Wouvermans. Otherwise
dr.awing appeared unexceptionable. The colouring is
getnousl
of the ? y modulated, notwithstanding the brightness
in rtding habit and the almost gaudiness of the
gnia of the Most Noble Order of the Garter. With
"h
care, however, in the employment of the palette
the
_eentrast of hues is toned down admirably. Count
,„Ursay
the has most assuredly earned for himself

-J/iSECRATION OF LAMBETH .EW ;BURCH.-
This day the Bishop of Winchester, attended by the diocesan
clergy,r consecrated the newly-erected church of All Saints,
4low-cut, Lambeth. The church was very respectably
attendel, no person being adtnitted without tickets, and a
body of the L division of police-constables, under Inspector
Arnold, pre-served order among the crowd assembled. This
consecration sets at rest the line the intended railway will
pass to its new terminus.
