MAGAZINES_ (CON'T'INUED.)
NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE.
Strong in his own powers as a poetical translator, John.
Oxenford dares a comparison with John Gibson Lock-
hart, by a new version of the renowned " Spanish Bal-
lads relating to the Infants of Lara." And although it
is deficient in that barbaresque beauty and lambent en-
thusiasm which gained Mr. Lockhart's book of Spanish
ballads such a deserved popularity, the present transla-
tion is eminently good, because it is so eminently cha-
racteristic. It is no paraphrase, but, on the contrary,
adheres as closely to the original as symmetry of metre
would permit. The more we dip into ancient ballad
literature the more are we impressed with the sagacity
of the philosopher in selecting it in preference to all
other means of governing the populace. How the" Ranz
des Vaches " fires the patriotism of the Switzer ; how
the " Marselloise" kindled the democracy of Frenchmen;
and how that superb outburst of our brave Robin's love
for fatherland, and reverence for the heroes of Scotland,
"Scots wha ha'e wi' Wallace bled," thrills to the bosom's
core of every Caledonian ; are only individual instances
of a principle which pervades all nations and animates all
generations. Ballad literature is thus potent in its influ-
ence, because it circulates through the whole mind of the
people, and appeals to the tenderest and noblest feelings
of the million. Precisely what the ditties relative to
Robin Hood and his merry men in Lincoln green where,
in relation to our English forefathers, responding to their
affection for freedom, and their partiality for valour, are
these olden songs of Spain in reference to the inhabitants
of the Peninsula. Their every sentiment breathes of
that sunny clime—they are most apposite as addressed to
the land of the Cid—they are tinctured with that exalted
spirit of chivalry, the annihilation of which Cervantes
seemed to regard as his peculiar mission. And excel-
lently well does this version of Mr. Oxenford typify
these emotions in English verse. The five ballads
are suffused with a delicious combination of intrepidity
and pathos ; and, if we might permit ourselves to select
one among them as the more preferable, we should
almost be tempted to choose the most melancholy-toned
of the collection—that descriptive of the destruction of
the infants " Salienda de Canicosa." It is exquisitely
conceived and charmingly transcribed. A better paper
could hardly have commenced this number of the New
Monthly. Those readers who have literary appetites,
somewhat in accordance with the taste of many would-be
conneiseurs in painting, who will not eulogise a landscape
until they have traced it to a Cuyp or Claude, nor a
pieta until it is proved to be a Caracci, nor a battle-
piece until it is shown to have proceeded from the easel of
Wouvermans, will find a rich banquet of additional chapters
in this magazine, graced with the names of G. P. R.
James, Captain Marry at, and W. H. Maxwell. " Echoes
from the Backwoods" are repeated by Captain Levinge
as pleasantly as the hill sides do those on the margin of
Killarney. A nameless old man (we do not allude,
mind, to the venerable gentleman in black !) becomes
very garrulous in his " arraignment and defence of
Time." It is a quaint conceit, however, and not un-
worthy of perusal. We pray Mr. Jolly Green to desist
from horsing the public any further, either with his tra
vels or his opinions. Ile is rather a superficial pilgrim
with a very enticing pseudonym. " The last Ball at the
Tuileries" is smart and agreeable enough ; the tracing of
the temperaments and futurity of the Duc de Nemours,
the Due d'Aumale, the Due de Montpensier, the Prin-
cesse Clementine, and the Princesse de Joinville, from
their stile of dancing! is a very happy eccentricity.
There is much wisdom, we conjecture, in its very flip-
pancy. In the tale, however, which the authoress has em-
bodied in this article, she has forgotten to express her
obligations to that right-clever novel " Cyril Thornton."
The story is absolutely identical—it is a most egregious
and intolerable specimen of plagiarism. " A sketch of
the Lives of Lords Stowell and Eldon" introduces us to
the latter venerable personage in a more pleasant cha-
racter than usual, namely, as the partaker of the frolics
of children. It reminds us of a picture ever dear to us
—Charles James Fox lying upon the carpet among a
pile of toys. Charles Hooton gives us a very common-
place narrative in ryhme about a Captain Blackstone ;
there is only one redeeming point in the contribution—
the suicide of Melicate. The April number is con-
cluded with not the least interesting paper, " The Loss
of the Great Liverpool," described by one of the passen-
gers in that luckless vessel, over whose destruction such
a mournful interest has been cast by the recent felo de-
se of her unfortunate Captain. The New Monthly for
his month is altogether an improvement uron many of
s predecessors.

THE CHURCH OF ENGLAND QUARTERLY
REVIEW. No. XXXVIIL
Very miscellaneous, very well-timed, anti very judi-
cious, viewing them collectively, are the contents of
this Quarterly. " Newman's Developement," with
" Dr. Pusey and the Confessional," are very laborious
commentaries upon the so-called Tractarian movement ;
and although these commentaries are occasionally well-
spiteited, they are also very frequently too bitter in their
la.nguage, too expletive In their manner, and too self-
settisfied in their tone for sober theological discussion.
Nicknames are still unhappily in vogue among contro-
rersialists. We are sanguine, nevertheless, that the
time is not so distant when such adjuncts will be
spurned on all hands as derogatory to the holy theme of
religion. The "no popery 1" cry should have expired
with the confinement of that fanatical madman, Lord
George Gordon, in Newgate. And the words of John
Grueby, as i sported to us by " Box," in his charming
tale of " Barnaby Rudge," should be inscribed in letters
of staring gold over the Corinthian portal of Exeter
Hall—" Lord bless you, leave that unforenate bloody
Mary alone !" Words tinctured in any manner with
bitterness are scarcely compatible with those divine
doctrines which were inculcated first in Palestine in
gentle accents, and in parables of tender significance.
" Scriptual Geology " is generally regarded as a theme
rather difficult for the peu of a Christian reviewer. Not
so : the prodigious and startling discoveries of science
are only fresh proofs of the veracity of' the Book of
Books ! The gradation and duration of geological strata
can be rendered—are rendered—consonant with the first
chapter of Genesis. Revealed religion is far from being
subverted by the leverage of natural philosophy; it is
enforced, and illustrated, and authenticated (if we
might so speak) by the new revelations of astronomy
and cosmogony. The earth in this way becomes a glorious
index to the Heaven : the reality of the hereafter is verified
by the Now. What sublime thoughts flood upon us at
the reflection !
position of the " Anti-Corn-law League and the labour-
ing classes," the reviewer looks through a clear medium
and expresses himself with much solid judgment and
much laudable candour. Where, however, he attempts
to cast a stigma of discredit upon Sir Robert Peel, we
perceive a flaw in the prism, his sight is bleared with
that flood of vituperation which has latterly been
lavished so ungenerously upon that most illustrious
statesman. How absurd—yes, we repeat it, how utterly
absurd, to scorn a political convert because—of "his time
of life !" An old adage saith, " Never too late to begin!"
That is a good saying, and a sensible one. And regard-
ing the Premier in this light alone, his change (call it
what you pleased, " tergiversation," " ratting," or what
not) is admirable. When, however, in a retrospective
snrvey of his career, we see a clear tendency towards
that pinnacle of legislative magnanimity, the summit of
which Sir Robert Peel has now reached, namely, the
good of the people ; when we observe throughout his
whole political life a manifest effort to seduce the aris-
tocracy of landlords into just concessions to the multi-
tude ; when we perceive his gradual progression from
fixed duties to a lenient tariff, and from a sliding scale
to a free trade, we cannot but acknowledge in him a
consistency more massive and more splendid than in that
dogged adherence to principles long since obsolete and
exploded, which, with a very singular adaucity, claims
the same epithet. Consistency indeed I surely it is the
consistency of duncehood ! The remaining moiety of
,he Church of England Quarterly, is of ordinary ability.

THE PEOPLE'S JOURNAL.
We congratulate the million on
possessing an organ so
earnestly alive to their interests. They cannot com-
plain that their principles are unadvocateti in a literary
way—their champions of the pen (not to speak
egotistically) are powerful and numerous. William and
Mary llowitt are doing their utmost to advance
the cause of their countrymen, and the former here pays
a deserved tribute to Miss Martineau, at whose recovery
from illness we are no less amazed than delighted. Mr.
Fox, too, labours bravely under the same banners: his
lectures on " living poets," on " the study of history,"
and on " the common interests of Great Britain and
America," are animated at once by an eloquent affection
for freedom and integrity. He does well in contemning
belligerent rivalry between the United States and Eng-
land. Peace is indeed the panacea for all national ills.
Nevertheless, in our reverence for this divine quietude
among nations, we must never forget that a manifesta-
tion of pertinacious injustice must not be tolerated on
the part of another government. By succumbing to the
insolent demand of any Power, however near or how-
ever remote, however strong or however feeble, we
should merely be extending rewards to additional en-
croachments, and by such a misjudged policy be placing
the peace of mankind in yet more imminent periL If
we are really desirous of maintaining tranquillity we
must hold a scourge above legislative insolence and sus-
tain our rights by a plenitude of honesty, and dignity,
and determination. From the poems of Miss Barrett
we cannot restrain ourselves from quoting a few frag-
ments; they are fired with such a noble
_detestation of
the turpitude of our ministry in 1815.
" Napoleon ! years ago, and that great word,
Compact of human breath in hate and dread
And exultation, skied as over head—
An atmosphere whose lightning was the sword,
Scathing the cedar of the world,—drawn down
The burnings, by the metal of a crown.
Napoleon sages with high foreheads drooped,
Did use it for a problem; children small
Leapt up to greet it, as at manhood s call :
Priests blessed it from their altars, overatooped
'
By meek-eyed Christs—and widows with a moan
Spake it, when questioned why they alto alone.

France kept her old affection,
Ah, deeply as the sepulchre the corse,
Until dilated by such loves remorse
To a new angel of the resurrection,
She cried, ' Behold, thou England ! I would have
The dead, whereof thou wettest, from the grave!'
And England answered in the courtesy
Which ancient foes, turned lovers, may befit—
"fake back thy dead! and when thou burriest it,
Throw in all former strifes 'twixt thee and me,'
Amen, mine England 1 'tis a courteous claim,

We would willingly transcribe further, but for th,
space already occupied. When completed, the first
volume of the People's Journal will be a choice one ; we
can predicate it from the three parts already published.

AINSWORTH'S MAGAZINE.
" Old St. Paul's" is incorrigible in the pertinacity of
its continuation, but we have already spoken so plainly
upon this subject that we shall desist from further re-
monstrances. The two most prominent features of
Ainsworth for April are, like our minor dramas, " taken
from the French;" alas ! for our paucity of originals,
alas ! for our sneaking reliance upon the fecundity of
the imaginations of la belle France. However we must
swallow our chagreen and be as grateful as possible for
the good things vouchsafed us by our neighbours. And
good things they are too of a vengeance—absolute dain-
ties in their way. " Piquillo Allia,ga," by Eugene
Scribe, and " The Count of Monte Christo,' by Alex-
andre Dumas. Both are as interesting as romances
could well be, with the assistance of all those extrava-
gant adjuncts, of all those thrilling improbabilities and
outrageous vagaries which the Parisian novelists know
so well hew to blend with their characters, so as to form
very palpable fictions. As the story by M. Scribe is only
commenced in this Number, we shall defer our opinion
upon its merits to a more favourable opportunity ; though
we must acknowledge it evinces a freshness of description
which promises largely. " The Count of Monte Christo,"
gains somewhat upon our attention in its present portion.
Dudley Costello utters a variety of piquante remarks on
" How they make Love over the Water," a title, which
at first sight suggested to 'us a teetotal courtship. Mr.
Costello, we opine, has no small partiality for Roche-
foucault; the reflex of his sarcasm, and his pithiness
glimmers in the lucubrations of the former. A con-
tribution by Thomas Wright, is a third peep into the
mysteries of " Sorcery and Magic:" and another by
Charles Hooton, is a second chapter of his " Imma-
terialities, or can such things be ?" consequently the
lovers of the marvellous may here obtain a dish precisely
to their liking. We are rejoiced to find the " Life and
Writings of Nimrod" drawn to a conclusion, as the
series had already exceeded all allowable limits. Mr.
Roscoe narrates some " Incidents in the Life of a French
Soldier," the gist of which is somewhat hacknied. And,
when we mention an Irish legend about the " Banshee,"
by Mr. Forrest, we have enumerated the entire contents
of Ainsworth, which, but that it is tarnished by a
miserable steel illustration by Franklin, would be
suitable for the table of any drawing-room or boudoir.

THE SPORTING MAGAZINE.
Harry Hie'over furnishesthe
first article, and a most
acceptable and valuable one it mustr prove. to all tyroes
aillorasVmtious of becom-
ing the stables, to all those who,,
Purchasers, and
(l)f useful
iln)ugrcahuifsiinilga,'t' issP°itiatintitalnes,bbiuPt. so full is the
hints as to the physiognomical and physicflaolicr
charac-
ter of this noble animal that we considerga
tatitle as not sufficiently comprehensive. The cynic
t
in Shakspere's Timon of Athens, pronounces a long
grace upon a miserable atom
of very unsavory root :
the direct converse of this is the behaviour of
Harry Hie'over. He presents to the reader a bountiful
repast of information with a very meagre introductory
phrase. Altogether the paper before us might be re-
garded as AR exposition of the renowned stain's in
" Venus and Adonis," descriptive of a perfect steed.
We trust the writer will contribute a series of articles,
somewhat after the same fashion, in the pages of the
Sporting Magazine. In this manner he might favour us
with a dissertation upon each description of horse,
racer, hunter, draught, and so forth, with a supplement
upon the diseases incident to the entire breed. The
subject, no doubt, would be old in the abstract, but
the manner wonld be novel and agreeable. Let him
meditate upon our recommendation. " Recollections of
a Griff," afford us a very preposterous and over-wrought
incident. The situation is so unlikely that, notwith-
standing its absurdity, a laugh is completely out of the
question. A Mr. ChesElyre 'writes a sensible bundle
of remarks about the " Operation of the Game-laws ;"
we presume, however, from their nature, that he has
dipped largely into Miss Martineau's recent stories upon
the same theme. " A Visit to Newmarket" is trite and
common-place ; " The White Hare" little better ; and
" A Few Words about Greyhounds," too frivolous and
petite to be examined even by a literary microscope.

THE FREEMAS OARTERLY RE-
In this closely-printed periodical there is a remarkable
accumulation of the sayings and doings current among
the ntivsterious fraternity. The contributions, though

cordially recommend the Review to the masonic bro-
therhood.
