THE AR7 JOURNAL.

Extraordinary promise is given in the number of
the Art Journal just published, as to the still further
improvement which will be made visible in its cha-
racter on the commencement of the new year. Of the
fulfilment of these promises, and of the realisation of our
expectations in their regard, we are satisfied, from
the remarkable energies hitherto displayed in the
conduct of this beautiful periodical. The engravings
for December are singularly clever. Poole's " Moun-
taineer," in particular, is a graceful token of the
genius of that distinguished artist. The representation
of the statue of " The Friends," however, done ac-
cording to Bate's new process, is anything but to
our taste. Of the miscellaneous papers we can
speak in terms of the fullest approbation.

DOLMAN.
With the number just issued the eighth volume of
Dolman's Magazine is completed. We may now,
therefore, begin to regard it, not only as firmly esta-
blished, but almost in the light of an old favourite.
The contributions for December sustain its character.

THE CHEMICAL TIMES', AND JOURNAL
OP PHARMACY.
This useful hebdomidal record of the discoveries in
chemical and pharmaceutical science, is, we believe,
intended as a successor to the Pharmaceutical Times,
and is conducted on the same plan. It contains an
immense amount of scientific information.

onohnnel. IPetit acted as
chairman, and was supported is right by the guest
of the evening, Lord Hardinge, and on his left by Mr. E.
R. Rice, M.P. for Dover.
On the cloth being removed the usual loyal toasts
were given and warmly responded to.
S. M. Latham, Esq., Prussian Vice-Consul at Dover,
then banded the cup to Lord Hardinge on which
Lord lIARDINGE rose and said, he had the pleasing
task to perform of presenting the cup to the officers of
the gallant regiment, at the request of his Royal High-
ness Prince Waldemar of Prussia. They were all aware
hick Royal Highness not only wished well to the officers
of the 50th, but had acted with them in the late brilliant
operations on the Sutlej, where the Prussian Legion
greatly distinguished itself. He eulogized the Prince as
a worthy descendant of the great Frederick. His Lord-
ship then read a letter he had received from the Prince,
requesting him to present the cup, and concluded by
reading the inscription it bore, as follows:—" As a token
of remembrance of the happy days spent amongst
the officers of the 50th regiment at Loodianah, and the
' following glorious campaign on the banks of the Sutlej,
this goblet is presented by his Royal Highness Prince
Waldemar of Prussia." ills Lordship having placed
the cup in the hands of Colonel Petit, begged to pro-
pose that it be filled with generous wine, and that they
all drink from it to the health of Prince Waldemar of
Prussia. This being complied with, the Prince's health
was drank with all the honours.
Mr. LATHAM acknowledged the
from
on behalf of the
Prince, regretting the absence, from indisposition, of
the Prussian Consul-General.
Colonel PETIT returned thanks, and observed that the
cup would be retained by the 50th. with feelings of pride
and gratitude, as the gift of an illustrious Prince who
joined the British army, shared its dangers, and was no
less distinguished for his kindness on all occasions, than
for his gallantry in the field. The present was more
enhanced on account of being received from England's
most distinguished General. It was the gift of a soldier
to his comrades and companions in -victory; and he (Col.
Petit) esteemed it the more, as it would tend to draw
more closely the bonds of brotherhood between the Prus-
sian and the British soldier. He concluded by giving the
" Health of Lord Harding°. —(Drank with deep en-
thusiasm.)
Lord llARDlNGE.returned thanks, and said he owed a
debt of gratitude to the Indian army. He eulogised the
conduct of General Napier, Sir 11. Smith, and pro ased
as a toast, " Sir IT. Gough and. the Indian Army." PThat
distinguished veteran, he said, had won more victories
in Asia than any of his predecessors and het had no
doubt he would render a good account' of Moulan It
was now half-past ten o'clock, and Lord Hardinge re-
tired amid deafening cheers.
