FRASER'S MAGAZINE.

A cleverish number, containing two portraits
of O'Connell and Sheil, with a whimsical ex-
planatory notice affixed. Shell's likeness is ex-
cellent. He is exhibited as far gone in a fit
of the horrors, and we would swear to the eye
and mouth. "Ireland, and the Progress of
the Repeal," takes up the question in a sen-
sible, straight-forward spirit. The reviewer

will, be carried ; yet, nevertheless, that O'Connell

eery-'ane, and knocking at the door of a man, whom he
suspected of having improperly busied himself about his
movements in Epping Forest, demanded to see him. The
man's wife, who answered the summons, by the light of a
candle, which she held in her hand, and whose rays were
then necessary to dispel the darkness of that unfrequented
thoroughfare, saw the glittering barrel of a brass-mounted
blunderbuss; and having her suspicions slightly moused,
she shut-to the door in ' Young Gentleman Harry's' face.
He proved his claim to this his usual title by not sending
a bullet after her, as a low-bred ruffian might—and cer-
tainly an O'Connel Tint-payer would—but rode off to an-
other house in Holborn, whose inmate he threatened with
destruction ; but alter venting his displeasure wirli a few
oaths, he turned his horse's head towards the Greyhound
