THE MIRROR.

The tale of " Paul Pevensey" is continued, and
promises to be of great interest. The author has
excellent materials, and it is evident that he under-
stands well how to use them. The notice of Mr.
Macgregor's recently-published work is exceed-
ingly valuable, as is the review of Lord
Palraerston's " Speech at Tiverton." This last
paper is the production of one who is evi-
dently thoroughly well acquainted with all
matters relating to the foreign policy of this
country. The " Notes of the Month" contain some
clever sketches of Egyptian manners and scenery,
and Sir Alexander Johnstone furnishes a highly
interesting account of Madura and its Hindoo Col-
lege. Percy St. John continues his tale of the
French Revolution, " Cecilia Armand," from which
we extract the following picture of Marat, in his den :
" In the street known as the Rue des Cordeliers was
an apartment of somewhat large dimensions, but pre-
senting an appearance of dirt and poverty, which was
the more disgusting that it was wholly unnecessary. A
bed, the sheets of which were dingy, and soiled, as much
by long use as ink, occupied one side of the room. Near
at hand was a table covered with proof sheets, half
written pages, files of newspapers, half a dozen pens,
and numerous letters ; beside this was a board, which
served as a book-shelf, on which lay a strange assembly
of kooks, amongst which Raynal and Montesquieu were
the most thumbed, if we except the Bible, of which the
occupant of this dwelling was used to say, The Revolu•
tion is in this book. Nowhere is the people's cause so
eloquently pleaded ; nowhere are the rich aad powerful
of the earth so severely handled. Jesus Christ is our
master!' _ . .

" Man's heart is truly an abyss, and how far this was
hypocrisy, how far sincerity—and, then, the man was
mad—but one power can judge.
" A man sat at the table writing, as if he had just sat
down when about to go out.
" With a dirty jacket, the sleeves of which were tucked
up like those of a workman at work; with velvet breeches
spotted with ink, blue worsted stockings, shoes tied on
the instep. with whip-cord, a dirty shirt open at the
breast, hair smoothed on the temples, and tied in a bunch
behind by a leathern thong, with a broad brimmed hat
falling on his shoulders : his costume was that of a
thorough Sass Culotte. His head was large, the more
remarkable that he was short, not being more than five
feet high, and leant upon the left shoulder. He was
strongly built, though neither stout nor fat. His
shoulders were round, his arms powerful; a short neck
gave him the more hideous appearance. His visage was
bony, his nose aquiline, broad at the bridge and flattened,
the end prominent; his lips were thin, his forehead large;
his eyes were a grey yellow, quick, piercing—at times
gentle and tender ; his eyebrows were scarcely per-
ceptible, his beard was black, his hair brown.
" Such was Jean Paul Marat."
