31LSCELLAIVEOLIS.

Foremost again among the miscellaneous magazines
and periodicals we place the Eclectic Review, the best
contributions to which are unquestionably the notice
of Mrs. Fr and of Mr. Brooke, " The White Raja
of the East." Every publication almost, of any emi-
nence, has added its expressions of eulogium to those
originally pronounced in the political circles respect-
ing the enterprise of the civilizer of Sarawak, and the
Christian adventurer in Borneo. Another article will
be perused with avidity, we mean the one commemo-
rative of the Chartist movement, and in which the
necessity for reform is temperately enforced. Of
Mr. Charles Knight's new serial called The Land
we Live In we must speak in terms of unqualified
praise. It is a book eminently qualified to be a me-
inento of the age and the nation, a book for the homes
and hearths of Englishmen, a book at once of pictorial
and literary excellence. The writing is wholesome,
and the engravings are neat and faithful. In Part
IX. there is an elaborate delineation of Edinburgh,
and in Part X. there is an equally elaborate defines.
tion of the eastern coasts. Of Lowe's Edinburgh
Magazine, we cannot speak in language of such
de-
cided commendation, some of the papers being intole-
rably superficial. One, however, in the. nhueamucufo,_r
May has afforded us deep pleasure : it

deration. Before we close our notices of the miscel•
laneous publications just issued from the press, we
must mention the appearance of the first number of e
very striking and singular atlas, the Descriptive Atlas
of Astronomy. It is a series of maps arranged on a
new and ingenious system, a system which promises
not only to re-arrange the geographic knowledge of
the subscribers, but also associate their political ideas
with the facts gleaned in the acquisition of the
science of geography.

THOM, THE .INVERIIRT POET.—The secretary of
the committee in Dundee for raising subscriptions for
the widow and children of Thom, the Inverury poet,
writes to us thus :—I am glad to say that our fund pro-
gresses in a very satisfactory way ; already it amounts
to nearly 2001., which sum, however, includes a grant
of 2u/. from the Royal Literary Fund, and several col-
lections made at a distance sent iu a lump to us ; but
a good deal will, doubtless, yet be done in other
places ; and in London the Caledonian Society bows
'.ormed a committee. We may thus, one way or other,
mus.er more than 3001., which, invested safely and judi-
cii usly, will be a very great assistance to the family."—
Dumfries Herald.
MANLY' ACTION.—Last week, at Jersey, the lives
of two children, who had been surrounded by the tide,
were saved by a little boy, son of Major Ca!lton, who,
disgusted at the apathy of the spectators, rushed into
s the water at the risk of his life.—Bristol Paper.
