t liussia, and Persia."—The paper under

bitioriettritY of our Indian Empire. Tile grasping am-
Pegr '3! Russia, and her total disregard of justice in
eirliabfication of this insatiable appetite, have been too
ritithirlY manifested to need either proof or comment. That

hat late events in Turkey. The question then is,
Nitie•rlttealls has England of meeting this attack, which
lttio °l* later will inevitably take place ? The first
df tt bC/St obVioUS 'mode of defence is the building up
the artier in Persia against the Russ by teaching

c' `r trivortant point for the consideration of
thilt -Di 'a
5t earn mintunication between
•

England and our possessions in India. Th• three
routes open to choice are, Ist. the line of the Persian
Gulf and the Euphrates ; 2d. the line of the Red Sea
and Egypt; 3d. the usual route round the Cape of
Good Hope. The first is probably the most antient,
as it certainly is the most natural line of communica-
tion between India, Asia Minor, and Europe, but this
route is rendered less desirable by the unsettled state of
the countries bordering upon the Euphrates. So long
as the Arabs continue in their present barbarous state,
and have their deserts to retreat to, there is little chance
of this river being selected as the road to India.
The second route, by the line of the Red Sea and
Egypt, notwithstanding all its advantages,—and we
think them greater than our author is disposed to
allow,---has yet been found so expensive, that the
Indian Government, after a short trial has abandoned
it. We have nothing left then but the old route round
the Cape of Good Hope, but this passage by the aid
of steam would be shortened to about seventy days.
It is high time, moreover, to look to the state of
our Indian army, for from all accounts there is a great
deficiency of European Officers, in relation to the diffi-
culties of the service. Nor is the Russ an enemy to
be lightly thought of, though it has been lately the
fashion with certain travellers to pronounce her less
powerful for the purposes of war than the world in
general has imagined her to be. This is the day-
dream of minds less anxious for truth than for novelty.
The low state of her finances has been urged as a suffi-
cient obstacle to her success in any long or distant
campaign against an enemy like England, and no
doubt it is much easier for any nation to
.raise
armies, than to pay, clothe, and feed them when
raised. But it should be recollected, on: the other
hand, that RuSSia has facilities peculiar to herself.
In a vast tract of country, where, even if parts be thinly
populated, the result must yet be an immense aggregate
of the human material, and that mass entirely at the
irresponsible disposal of one man, it is easy to conceive
that troops must be levied at the least possible expense.
The Russian, hardy in his habits, and accustomed to
the coarsest food, and the barest subsistence, will thrive
where any one besides himself would starve ; and thus,
when levied, he is a cheap as well as an effective in-
strument in the hands of despotism. Beyond this, it
should also be remembered that Russia has in herself
abundant sources of wealth, and that these are every
day being more and more developed, and called into
action, by a system no less politic than it is unprinci-
pled. Russia is no longer the country she was when
the prophetic tongue of Gibbon declared she would
one day prove a scourge to Europe. The first steps
of the march, that is to ravage the civilized world,
have been taken ; she has emerged from her forests ;
she has acquired just so much knowledge as may best
teach her to whet the sword and direct the arm of war,
without having imbibed enough to give her a relish for
the arts of peace ; she is all iron ; and her weight will
ere long be felt crushingly on the surrounding nations,
unless they have wisdom to unite in time, and drive
her back again into her deserts.
Of the remaining articles it is only necessary to say,
that all are amusing, many instructive, and that the
whole will not, in any degree, diminish the credit due
to the best of the preceding numbers.

THE DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE.
Curry, Dublin ; Sinipkin end Marshall, London.
The Toryism of Maga and Regina is rank Radi-
calism compared with the blood-red orange conserva-
tism of this " official bulletin" from the head-quarters
of the Irish Church militant. From the style of
some of the articles before us, we should not be
at all surprised at shortly hearing of a proposal for
erecting a Roden Rostrum in Dublin, something
after the style of that from which the Pater Patrice
of Rome harangued the people, with the trifling
difference of substituting Papists' heads for the
beaks of ships in its erection, This antichristian
bigotry is the more to be regretted, as this perio-
dical may boast of an abundance of literary talent
of a very high order. " Scenes from the Life of
Edward Lascelles, Gent.," is full of life, thought, and
vigour. We like it excessively. The " Oath of
Blood" is a horrible description of one of the
most hellish rites ever perfomed on earth. The
other articles we cannot even, glance at, owing to
the late hour at which this Magazine reached us.
The " King of Merry England" cannot fail of be-
coming a very popular ballad :
" 0 ! the King of merry England,
What king so loved u he ?
A gallant band he may command,
In all his kingdoms three;
And there the smile of beauty
Still falls upon the free.
0 ! the King of merry England,
What king so loved as he ?
0 the King of merry England, &e.
" 0 ! the King of merry England—
The rose upon its stem,.
Shall twine with Erin's shamrock
Around his diadem ;
While the thistle of Scotland
Shall ne'er forgotten be,
0 ! the King of merry England,
What king so loved as he?
0 ! the King of merry England, &c.
" 0 ! the King of merry England,
When sounds the battle drum,
With hearts of fire, and swords of flame,
A thousand warriors come ;
To drive from land his foemen,
Or sweet► them from the sea.
0 ! the King of merry England,
What king so loved as he ?
0 ! the King of merry England, &c.
.4 0 ! the King of merry England
When wine-cups sparkle brim,
The first the foremost pledge is given
In bumper health to him !
Hurrah ! hurrah ! the toast is,
The Father of the Free !
0 ! the King of merry England,
What king so loved as he?
0 ! the King of merry England, &c.'
