On Wednesday the second reading of the law for

in the Assembly by n considerable majority.
The Constitutionnel recommends the PRESIDENT to
have recourse to a coup d'etat for the revision of the
Constitution, should the Assembly not vote it by a
legal majority.

GERMANY.
The Vienna journals state that a very great sensation
has been produced in that city by the retirement of the
Minister of Commerce, the Baro❑ DE BRUCK that Mi-
nister being regarded as the representative of the consti-
tutional monarchical party in Austria. A Vienna cor-
re-pondent assures us that the resignation of M. DE
Baucx is attributed to the hesitation of the Prince DE
SCHWARTZENBERO to make his colleagues in the Cabinet
fully acquainted with the motives of the intended inter-
view between the two Emperors at 011mutz. It is stated
that the independence manifested by M. DE BRUCK, in
his commercial measures had given offence to the
Russian Cabinet, the interests of Russia being
affected by the attempts made by the ex Minister
to open new relations with a view to promote the welfare
of the productive classes, and that the Prince DE
SCHWARTZENBERG having embraced what is called the
Russian policy, and succeeded in obtaining the assent
of the majority of the Austrian Cabinet, M. DE BRUCK,
in order not to forfeit his popularity, had no alternative
but to resign. His successor, M. BAUMGARTEN, is de-
cribed as a man of liberal feelings, but wanting the
energy of M. DE BRUCK.

DENMARK AND THE DUCHIES.
The Hamburgh Correspondent, under date of Kiel,
24th, says—" We learn from a source worthy of credit,
that the Cabinet of St. Petersburgb has addressed a
very energetic note to the Danish Government, on the
question of the duchies."

THE LOVE MONTH—MAY.
The rills are gushing,
The torrents rushing,
The cuckoo sings in the lane hard by,
And wak'd by the showers,
Come forth the young flowers,
So wondrous in beauty—so fair—yet so shy!

The violet drooping,
As o'er her stooping
Her lover the sunlight would snatch a kiss—
The snow-drop, too, shunning,
His am'rous cunning,
All saint-like and chaste as a spirit in bliss.

The daffodil golden,
Whose heart unbeholden
Glows warm with the hues that on Sinai once shone,
For some true love pining,
Her head aye inclining,
Courts death as so many bright maidens have done.
And yonder, bolder,
Of aspect colder,
The countless hordes of the primrose lie_
Aroused from slumbers,
In strength of numbers,
Serenely they smile at the fitful sky.

Alike, too, in story,
Though matchless in glory,
The Elaine-tinctured crocus laughs up thro' the mould;
Each morn, mid carousing,
New splendour espousing,
"ris Spring's fairy "Solomon" dight in red gold

The trees, too, assuming
A milk-white blooming,
With arms outstretched on the mellow air;
With fragrance teeming,
And blush-light gleaming,
Seem crowned with the blessing that answers prayer.

And blue-bells budding,
Like sapphires studding
The vernal bank all "alight" with dew;
And si!v'ry mazes
Of wild-wood daisies.
And cowslip meadows of gorgeous hue.

And thro' the grasses,
As noon-day passes,
The song of the droning gnats at play;
And the Yarrow flowers,
And the twilight hours,
Proclaim it our own sweet love-month, May.

LONDON,

admiration than that of the Exhibition itself; the
Exhibition is the aggregate of the labours and ideas
of many thousands of persons inhabiting all quarters
of the globe, the Great Model World of Mr. WYLD is
the creation of one man alone. It was Mr. WYLD
who conceived the idea of constructing this gigantic
work, it was his thought and genius which devised
the means of overcoming the numerous mechanical
difficulties—difficulties which to many men of high
scientific standing appeared insuperable—which inter-
posed between the conception of the idea and its
perfect realization, and it was his enterprise and his
labour, and his directing hand which brought the
work to its completion, and for the first time since
the creation of the world presented to its inhabitants
a perfect and accurately : proportioned model
of the planet which they inhabit, a
Microcosm of the great Macrocosm. The
view of the world presented by this marvellous
and most beautiful specimen of the art of modelling
is precisely that which a spectator in a balloon, tra-
velling in a clear atmosphere, at a height of some
eight or ten miles, round the globe, would have of
the earth's surface as he proceeded on his journey—
every hill and every valley is accurately marked, and
the productions of each country, mineral and vege-
table, as well as its geological character, are accu-
rately indicated. Here the geologist may with
certainty ascertain the mineral productions of each
region; here the botanist in search of rare
plants may learn at once in what direction
to bend his steps,lhere the traveller may perceive the
nearest and most practicable routes to or from any
place on the earth's surface, and here the strategist
may by inspection at once ascertain the military ad-
vantages and disadvantages of any position on the
face of the globe. By no means hitherto devised is
it possible to gain so accurate an idea of the true
proportions which different portions of the earth's
surface bear to each other, and of the proportion
which the ocean bears to the land, as.by the inspection
of Mr. WYLD'S model. It is true that by measurement
on maps we may gain a knowledge of these pro-
portions, but the knowledge thus acquired has always
something more or less of an abstract character; the
mind cannot from such knowledge frame to
itself a picture of the two things to be
compared so as to be enabled to measure
the one by the other, but here the two are brought
into juxtaposition, and the mind is thus enabled by
actual inspection to form a definite and accurate idea
of the subject.
4," Segnius irritant animum demissa per aures
Qaam qua; sunt oculis subjects fidelibum."
Of the immense impulse which must be given to
the study of geography by the construction of this
model it is impossible, at present, to form any idea.
Mr.WYLD has, by his invention, done for geographical
science that which GALILEO did for astronomical
science by the invention of the telescope, and the
results will be, as regards all sciences dependent
upon an accurate knowledge of the world's sur-
face, fully as vast. The day is not far distant when
models of various countries and of various localities
constructed upon the principle of Mr. WYLD'S Globe,
must, more especially for strategical purposes,
supersede maps to a very considerable extent,
indeed it is impossible to imagine the great improve-
ments in the
,acquisition and the imparting of geo-
graphical knowledge, of which this great invention
may not become the parent. Mr. WYLD has, to use the
emphatic language of the French Assembly in relation
to public benefactors, "deserved well of his country,"
and we sincerely congratulate him on having brought
the study and mind-labour of years to such an illus.
trious termination.
