Charlotte Corday is extracted from the forthcoming
Verne Of M. tie Limartine's Hi;tory of the teiri.m-

nle most romantic love that e'er Leek possession of
the heart of man. At her trial before the revolu-
tionary tribunal there was present an artist who was
sketching her li eness :
b " Behind the painter was a youth, whose fair h sir,
lue eyes, and pale complexion proclaimed him to be a
child of the north. lie wes standing on up-tee, ilk (echer

involumary exclamations, tee murmurs of the crowd,
and attracted the prisoner's atiention. The moment the
resident pronoune,d sentence ~f. each that young man

arose, with the gesture ef a man who pretests in his
earti.and immedietely eaele back, as it his strength
'failed him. Charlotte, inditretent about her own tate,
noticed that motion. She telt that, at a moment whwn
She was abandoned by all on earth, One soul —as
attached to her, and that in the midst ut that hostile
crowd she had one unknown friend. She teanked
hisn
with 4 look: it was their only enteruunic,tien on earth.
" That young stranger was Adam Lux, a German
republican deputed to Paris by the revelutionary party
°f Mayence, iu order to unite the movements of
m Uerhu-
nY with those of France in the common cause of
an reason and the freedom of nations."
As she was conveyed to the place of execution.
Adam Lux was awaiting the cart at the entrance of

he piously followed the wheels

for her, and, like her, to be beaten by the hand of the
tteeutioner, to feel, iu dying, the saa.e edge that cut off
e
ealilie head of Charlotte, and to be united to her in
heroism, liberty, love, and death, is henceforth my only
PrraYer• I shall never attain her sublime virene; but is
not just that the object adored should ever be superior
1° the worshipper?'"

:1 A few days after her execution, Adam Lux pub
u
dined an apology of Charlotte Corday, and participated
la her offence in order to share her martyrdom. Being
at'rested tor this audacious provocation, he was cast into

The story of " Captain Spike " is continued, and
the scene of' this chapter takes place on the wreck of
the schooner which had been upset in the squall.
Aiulfred and Jack Tier have managed, by dint of

and they were all assembled on the

an ‘-
A Merchant Prince of the ivliddle Ages,"
admirable account of Jacques Coeur, the great
French financier. He was the Flounce ?roster
f Charles VII., and to the financial combination:-
of Jacques Coeur, rather than to the apocryphal
exploits of Joan of Arc, is the restoration of the mo-
narch to the throne of France to be attributed. In
cti it may be doubted whether Joan of Arc was not
the mere tool of Jaques Coeur, acting under his
iTidance, to secure the efficient carrying out of his
plans- The reasonable, he convinced by his argu-
ileats. Whilst, through the agency of Joan of Arc,
aPpealed to the superstitious tears and hopes of

fittilis plans. The history of Jacques Coeur is a study
any statesman. The other papers in this number
'e of more than average merit.

DOUGLAS JERROLD'S.
The present number concludes the fifth volume, and
it Opens with the following announcement :
" A few w,,rds at the conclusion of this—the fifth
volume may here be permitted by way of preface to the
volume about to ensue.
" The object purposed by the establi4l-ment of ' The
Shilling Magazine' has been acknowledged by unequi-
vocal success from the first. Aiming at rivalry with no
elder periodical, it sought a new path for itself, in which
it is hoped it has undeviatingly continued. There may
have been occasions when performance has halted short
of intention,—but the purpose that animated the first
number is as vital as ever, and seeks to vindicate itself
in the ensuing volume, in which—with the appearance of
novel and charact,ristic papers from practised pens—
will be found a gossiping coramemary on the leading
topics of the times in a New Series of The Hedgehog
Letters.'
"In addition to this, a New Story by the Editor will
be commenced as soon as it shall be sufficiently
,advanced
to ensure its unbroken continuance to the end."
Right glad are we that Juniper Hedgehog is about to
resume his pen. He is the very spirit of " Punch"—
a judicious mixture of spirit, sweet, and acid. We
look forward with pleasure to his reappearance in the
next number. Right glad are we to find that the
editor is about to commence a new story ; for, albeit,
"the Dreamer and the Worker," which is continued
in the present number, promises to he an excellent
and instructive novel, yet the author is somewhat too
didactic, and lacks the spirit that is in St. Giles and
St.
James. The best paper in the present number is
the One entitled " Glances at Family Biography -
Cent.
per Cent." It is full of caustic sarcas;n,
`` richly ueserved and well laid on."

The " Man in the Moon," is a " fellow of infinite
jest." The illustrations are most humourous, the
Puns most execrably laughable, and the parodies full
of fun.
