Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton in part XIII.-of " My
Novel" fully maintains the interest of the former
parts it s as it always has been hitherto, the great
feature of the number in which it appears. Black-
wood waxes furious against the new scheme of re-
form to be proposed by Lord John Russell even
before its details are known, and in an article en-
titled " Disfranchisement of the Throughs" pleads

Scarboroughes, the Ihrwiches, the St. Albanses, and

Places that the Protectionists build their hopes of an
anti-Free-trade majority in the next Parliament. The
fieccentricities of Mr. Ruskin are corrected by a kith-

Politics" is a lame and unsuccessful attempt

an
perfidious boy, who at present tyrannises over
tultVal and encourages the false and treacherous
b4g4ull of Naples. Those who wish really to do Don
thicl a service cannot more effectually serve him
,ran by permitting him to remain in obscurity. The

Jer entitled " The Congress and the Agapedome ; a
