THE FARMERS'.

A clever copy from a photographed portrait of Mr.
Clark lllllyard heads the Farmers' Magazine for May;
and a more appropriate opening could scarcely have
been selected than a memoir and a " counterfeit present-
ment" of the author of " Practical Farming and
Grazing." The usual proportion of sound and instruc-
tive essays lend a value to the current number of this
periodical. Among the most curious of the disserta-
tions, we may mention the experiments to determine the
effect of barley and :malt on the milk of cows, and an-
other on the steeping of seeds in sulphuric acid.

CHURCH OF ENGLAND. •
Well assorted, but tarnished with a partizan spirit,
this magazine will satisfy its readers, and now-a-days
that is the principal requisite. The article on George
Brummell is written iu rather a questionable strain.; we
dislike seeing a mournful spectacle, authenticated by
name, held up in an invidious light.

THE BELLE ASSEMBLEE.
There are no less than twenty-five separate contribu-
tions in the present number, which possesses, moreover.
its usual amount of ability and mediocrity. Tales, and
metrical fragments, and critical notices, and legends, are
jumbled together according to the most approved fashion
of Belle Assemblee editorship, without either congruity
or contrast. We may particularise Miss Elizabeth
Youatt's contribution as the most meritorious, because

beilig grouped and penciled with a tasteful hand. We
cordially recommend this periodical to the public, for
ita strong sense, and its natural tone.

THE ALMANACK For( THE MONTH.
Gilbert I Beckett, Horace Mayhew, and Mark Lemon
are among the contributors to the present number of
this monthl, repository of fun. There are materials
for half a dozen excellent farces, at least, in this num-
ber of the A/martuch.

THE ENGLISHWOMAN'S MAGAZINE.
Very excellent in its typography, and equally miscel-
DAneous in its literature, this magazine reflects honour
on the taste and judgment of the editress. One of the
most sensible articles in the May number, is the one en-
titled " The influence of English Women on English Li-
terature" We commend it to all fair readers as the ex-
position of a new fieta in which their " influence" has
operated.

THE KNIGHT OF GWYNNE. Part IV.
Thmigh comparatively few incidents are introduced
in Cnese chapters, more interest is excited for the vari-
ous characters of the tale, and those characters are more
fully developed than in all the prece'ling chapters in the
three former numbers. The debate in the Irish Parlia-
ment is depicted with peculiar skill, especially in the
episode of Bagenal Day's quarrel. All the moat inter-
eating personages of the story are placed in a somewhat
embarrassing plight by the flight of the Knight's lawyer
to America, and the part before us ends -with the prepa-
rations made by Daly for his pursuit to Liverpool during
a tempestuous night. Mr. 13‘31,;-,r has chosen a most ex-
citing epoch in hi country';, history for the period of his
story.

PICTORIAL BALLADIST. Part
PICTORIAL SHAKSPERE. Part VIII.
These a-te an economical series of poetry that can
never diminish in the estimation of mankind ; and it is
ever a source of gratification to us to see copies of
them multiplied for circulation at a cheap rate among
the populace, Such editions we look upon as boons to
the people. There are twenty•four neat wood engravings
in the numbers lying upon our desk. They are neatly
printed ; and the text is accurate in most instances.
