There was a large show of each kind of foreign stock in
to-day's market. The trade was heavy at 2d to 4d per
Slbs beneath last Monday's currency.

From our own grazing districts the receipts of beasts
fresh up were very large, and of greatly improved quality.
All breeds met a very dull sale, at a fall in value from 2d
to 4d per 81bs, the general top figure for beef being 4a 10d
per 81bs, and a clearance was not effected.
The arrivals from Lincolnshire, Leicestershire, and
Northamptonshire, amounted to 3,000 short horns ; from
other parts of England, 800 various breeds; from Scot-
land, 2 Scots ; and from Ireland, 504 oxen and heifers.
With sheep we were somewhat heavily supplied, and the
demand for them was very inactive at a fall in value of
from 2d to 4d per Blbs. The quality of short breeds exhi-
bited a decided improvement. The best old Downs sold at
5s 4d per 81bs.
There was a dull sale for lambs, at 4d per Blbs less
money. About 500 reached us from Ireland.
Calves changed hands slowly at Thursday's decline in
value. •

The pork trade was heavy at about last week's quota-
tions.

SPORTING NOTES.

The result of the races last week has not thrown much
light on the great event to be decided next week at Don-
caster. Thormanby still maintains the premiership in the
betting, and opinions are greatly divided between the
Whitcwell representatives, The Wizard and Sweetsauce;
but John Scott has got such a fine string of horses in this
year's Leger that it is difficult to guess which will be the
Simon Pure on the day. However, if he has got a better
horse than Sweetsauce in his team, he will have no difficulty
in adding another Leger to his lucky stable. If an outsider
should show his respects first to the judge, it will be either
the much neglected Buccaneer, or Tom Bowline.

The meetings to be held this week are Warwick, Derby,
Kelso, Rochester and Chatham, Totnes and Bridgetown,
Weymouth, and Littlehampton, to only the former of which
does much importance attach. Mr. Merry has, considering
the many calls recently made upon horseflesh, and that the
meeting takes place on the eve of the St. Leger, produced a
wonderful bill of fare, having secured for the nine races
already closed unprecedently large entries, the only failur •
being the Leamington Stakes, for which 14 only out of the
63 horses handicapped remained in.

The meeting commences on Tuesday with seven items in
the list, three of which have yet to be named for, the Trial
Stakes, Her Majesty's Plate, and the Racing Stakes, all of
which close this afternoon. The first of the closed events to
claim attention is the Leamington Stakes, to which Moura •
vieff has been accorded the post of honour so unenviable
in a handicap. Wild Rose, Royal Sovereign, and the
Greek are let loose, and I shall expect one of them to fur-
nish the winner.

In the Castle Park Stakes (three quarters of a mile) there
are 12 two-year-olds engaged, including The Conqueror,
Flirtation, and Voltella, who are each penalised 41b. Ac-
cording to the recent running of East Stanley, whom the
latter beat along with several others in a canter at Good-
wood in the Ham, Voltella must prove a dangerous antago-
nist to the former pair.
For the Shorts Handicap 27 horses are weighted, includ-
ing nine two year olds, the imposts on which are not very
favourable to their success. Those for which I have most
fancy are Romsey and Marquise.
The twenty-four nominations to the Cup include repre-
sentatives of every age, but the three-year-olds of course
preponderate, and were we assured of the most noted of the
latter—Sweetsauce, Wallace, Crater, Horror, Avalanche,
Ben Webster, First Lord, and Convivialist—reaching the
starting post, the race would certainly be one of surpassing
interest. However, as it is likely that only Wallace, Crater,
and Avalanche of the above will throw down the gauntlet
to Tournament, Starke, and Mouravieff, we must be con-
tent with the contest betmuten them, and in which,
doubtless, some of the smaller fry will join, of which
Barabbas and the filly by Surplice out of New Forest
Deer will have no inconsiderable advantage in the
weights ; nevertheless there is little probability of either
performing sufficiently well to affect the result, which,
in the absence of Sweetsauce, I expect will be carried off by
Mouravieff or Wallace.
Of the 34 horses weighted for the County Cup, the fol-
lowing half dozen—Orlanda, 4 yrs, 7st 10lb ; Romsey, 4
yrs, Est 121 b ; Tyrant, 3 yrs, Est 51b ; Emblem, 4 yrs, bat
121 b ; Vouralak, 3 yrs, sst 101 b ; and the filly by Annan-
dale out of Margery, 3 yrs, sst 91b—have not much to com-
plain of in the weights apportioned to them, and I prefer
the chances of Romsey and Tyrant.
Next week I shall enter into an analysis of the horses
engaged in the Leger.

THE STEPNEY MURDER.—The
detectives em-
plcyed to unravel, if possible, this mysterious murder, have
apparently come to a dead lock, and up to a late hour on
Saturday night they had nut obtained any clus", to the mur-
derer, but they have not given up all hope of bringing him
to justice. The police still remain in possession of the
house, 9, Grove-road, and unless some blood relations of
the murdered woman come forward and prove their claim, it
is expected that the property will be administered to and
claimed on behalf of the Crown. On Saturday evening
some information was received at one of the station-houses
of the K division, and a couple of detectives were
despatched, via the Tilbury Railway, to a town a dew miles
from London; and in an hour afterwards a telegraph was
received, " Not to be found," so the hopes of the police were
again. disappointed.

which has now lasted for several weeks in Nottingham, is
still pending. Neither masters nor men appear inclined to

employers is the almost entire absence of the demand for
Mechlin lace, in which branch many of the lockouts were
engaged.

LAW INTELLIGENCE,-(THIS Y)

SHERIFFS' COURT.
PRINTERS AND MACHINE BOYS.-IMPORTANT DECISION,

Plaintiff is a machine boy, and defendant a master printer.
The action was brought to recover 12s. wages stopped, and
7s. 6d., one week's wages, in lieu'of notice.
Defendant pleaded on the first occasion that by the rules
of the trade plaintiff was not entitled to notice, and that as
to the 12s. plaintiff had been fined that amount for breaking
a form.

His Honour adjourned the case for consideration, and
this morning said he had consulted two printers of great
standing in the trade, and they are both positive upon one
point—the machine boy is entitled to a week's notice.
Mr. Danks—Then as to the 12s. ?

His Honour—You must show negligence on the part of
the boy. If he wilfully or negligently broke a form con-
taining type, you would be justified in dismissing him on
the spot, and stopping all his wages.
Plaintiff—l couldn't help breaking the form, and no type
was spilt.

His Honour—A great many people employ wretched
little girls as servants, and these wretched little girls break
plats. That caso applies here. You, Mr. Banks, employ
little boys as machine boys, and then forms are broken.
There is no negligence shown here, and plaintiff must have
a verdict for the whole amount.

THE PANIC IN THE LEATHER TRAM-ISRAEL V. OSTLER

In this case, in which plaintiff recovered a verdict for a
sum of £2O 18s. for certain hides supplied to defendants,
Mr. Ford moved for a new trial, on the grounds that the
verdict was against evidence, that his Honour had misap-
prehended the law, and surprise.

His Honour ruled that upon the first ground defendants
could not apply. Upon the second defendants could appeal,
and as to surprise there was not much in it.
A long argument ensued, in which Mr. Ford, Mr.
Buchanan, for plaintiff, and his Honour took part,

Mr. Ford contended that the market value of the hides
was the principal ingredient in the matter, and that defend-
ants had allowed plaintiff a fair market value.
His Honour was of opinion that upon the failure of
Messrs. Streitfield and Co., the salesmen were afflicted
with an unreasonable panic, and sold at any price, and a
panic value was not a quantum market value.
Mr. Buchanan urged that the verdict was in accordance
with the evidence, and his honour refused the application,
giving plaintiff costs and defendants leave to appeal.

POLICE INTELLIGBNCE-(THIS DAY.)

MARLBOROUGH-STREET.

SELLING SPIRITS WITHOUT A LICENSE.--ASSAULT ON
A POLICE INSPECTOR.—Peter Ward Hebblethwaite, chan-
dler shop-keeper, and Bridget Hebblethwaite, his wife,
were charged with selling spirits (rum) without a license ;
and the female was further charged with assaulting In-
spector Webb, of the C division, &c.

_
The defendants were fined .L 25 each, or three months' im-
prisonment in default,

DARING ROBBERY AT TIIE STEPNEY STATION OF THE
BLACYWALL RAILWAY.—John Cannon, a tall man, about
23 years of age, was brought before Mr. Selfe, charged
with stealing a silver watch, value £7, from the person of
Mr. John Lowe, fishmonger, of No. 3, Northampton-place,
Holloway.

Mr. Beard, solicitor, defended the prisoner.
The prosecutor stated that between eight and nine
o'clock he was at the Stepney station, making his way with
others towards the North London train, which had just
arrived, and in the rush that took place the prisoner got
before him, and he felt his watch drawn from his pocket.
He seized the prisoner by the arm, held him, and struggled
with him. The prisoner ran away at great speed along the
platform and fell over it. An officer followed the prisoner,
who got up and looked over the wall of the railway, and
also put his hand over. Directly afterwards the prisoner
was secured.

Mr. Beard cross-examined the prosecutor in a very in-
genious manner. Mr. Lowe said ho came to the conclusion
that the prisoner stole his watch, because ho stood in front
of him, and because his face was close to his own, and there
was no other one near him.
Mr. Beard—You think so.

Witness—And I think rightly too.
Mr. Beard—You are jumping at conclusions.
Witness—And a right conclusion too. He stole my
watch. Now, sir, I contend—

Mr. Beard—l won't argue with you. Did he not run in
common with others when the train arrived.

Witness—Yes ; but he ran before, and the others ran
behind me. He looked over the.wall and threw my watch
away.

Mr. Beard—You have got th et in your mind.
3Witness—And you won't get it out of my mind.
Geergo Barry, a railway constable, said that the prisoner
was brought to him, and he afterwards looked for the pro-
secutor's watch, which he found on the roof of a shop in the
rear of the premses of Mr. Pearce, shirt maker. It was
open and the glass was broken. Mr. Pearce's shop was
below the railway, and right opposite the place where the
prisoner looked over the wall. The prisoner cut his knees
and hands severely when he fell.

Mr. Beard said there was % only a case of suspicion
against the prisoner. _

Blackwood's Magazine.

Mr—Selfe said ho intended to' commit the prisoner for
trial, but on the intercession of Mr. Beard, consented to
deal with the case summarily, and on the prisoner plead-
ing guilty he was sentenced to six months' imprisonment
and hard labour.

If we wanted a proof that the personal animosity
and bitter vindictiveness of party feeling it es in
great measure died out among us, it would be
afforded by the opening paper in 111a0A. It is a criti-
cism on the political career of Sir Robert Peel, in
this old established organ of the party who so long
looked up to him as its leader and whose ranks he
finally disorganised. The days of those contentions
and the bitterness of feeling that attended them,
have long since passed away. It is as an eminent.
English statesman, as one of the recognised chiefs
in our Parliamentary history of modern times, that;
his career is discussed, and his character analysed
in the paper before us. Founded on-Sir Lawrence
Peel's recent memoir of his distinguished relative,
it gives us a brief outline of the rise of the family to
wealth and honour, and of the early training which
shaped the future Premier's tastes and habits.
The effects of his education were apparent, in
the opinion of the writer, through all his later
life. The younger Pitt was held up before him
as the model of a statesman, especially with
regard to commercial and financial questions.
" It was the spirit of Pitt's commercial policy which
mainly chimed in with the opinions of the success-
ful manufacturer; and this he did his best to im-
plant deeply on the mind of this son. Without
doubt, the seed thus sown never lost its vitality.
For many years after his entrance into public life,
Peel seemed to be carried away by the tide, which
had set in strong in favour of a protective system.
But if ever the real history of the man comes to
be written, it will doubtleFs appear that even then
he distrusted the wisdom of the course which he
was pursuing." In other respects, however, the
critic considers his training to have been productive
of more harm than good. It encouraged the re-
serve and restrained manner which was afterwards
complained of by his party. "He became so much
of a casuist also that even as a boy he could never
arrive at a conclusion till he had passed in array
before his mind's eye all the reasons against as well
as for the object proposed to him." Of his oratory
we find the following description :—" He gained
ground from day to day in reputation as an admi-
nistrator, and began by degrees to take his proper
place in that House of Commons which was by-and-
bye to become his world. Not that the House of
Commons ever accounted him a great orator. His
skill in debate was, perhaps, unrivalled; but in his
best days as a speaker, he fell far behind Canning,
Tierney, Windham, Plunkett, and Brougham, and
these and many more long overshadowed him by
their eloquence. For Peel had not a scintilla of
genius, His style was diffuse and laboured ; his
best thoughts always seemed to be overlaid with
words ; and his three courses degenerated at last
into the merest mannerism. What he did not receive
from inspiration, however, he managed to acquire by
diligence and close attention to details." The essay
is written throughout with a moderation of tone
and absence of prejudice that are highly commend-
able. The writer is evidently one thoroughly con-
versant with his subject, and familiar with the
inner life of Cabinets and parties at the eventful
epoch he refers to. He has been. actuated by a fair
and painstaking spirit, and has accomplished his
task as a whole with discrimination and candour.
As an evidence of his appreciation of the lamented
statesman's intrinsic merits we quote some of the
concluding paragraphs :

seen in the shade of its splendours, but they are not owing
to the splendours. The great Shakespear, the great
Newton, the great Goethe, were not little men because they
too had their littlenesses; nor were these littlenesses in
any sense the product of their greatness. And if the
trembling sensibility, which is one of the conditions of
genius, makes a man more accessible to certain temp-
tations, it makes . him also more accessible to moral
influences, so that, in point of fiiet, the history of men of
genius is on the whole remarkably noble and pure. The
curiosity naturally felt about everything concerning men
of genius leads to the publication of all their errors and
shortcomings; but who can doubt -that a similar scrutiny
of the lives of groce-rs would yield a much blacker catalogue
of errors ? The vices of illustrious men arc cried out from
the housetops, but whb troubles himself about the vices of
blockheads?

Our conclusion, then, is briefly this : genius is health
and strength, not disease and weakness ; it is sanity and
virtue, not insanity and vice. The man of genius may be
sickly and vicious ; butbe is so by reason of a sickly body
and a vacillating will ; not by any means because, with
this body and this will, he also possesses a splendid in-
tellect.

and there are also attractive papers on King
Arthur of the Round Table, and the gloomy re-
miniscences associated with the Tower of London.

Fraser's Magazine.
There is considerable variety apparent in Fraser's
table of contents this month. It opens with the
first chapters of a new story, entitled " Ida Con-
way," which•promises some degree of interest. A
Manchester Man contributes a lengthened paper on
"Hymns and Hymn Tunes for Congregational Wor-
ship," which contains much sense. The writer
strongly supports the system of congregational
singing in preference to the monopoly of vocal per-
formance by the choir, dwelling on its manifest ad-
vantages in securing the sympathy of the people
and promoting devotional feeling. We are told an
amusing anecdote of a church in Durham which
rejoiced in an unusually good choir. A stranger
one day attending the church joined in the hymn.
" Stop, sir, stop," exclaimed the fat sexton, wad-
dling up to him, "we do all the singing here our-
selves, sir." The " Manchester Man" who writes
the article refers to the skill and taste for music so
prevalent in the Lancashire manufacturing districts,
and his suggestions are many of them full of sense
and practical benefit. Mr. Latrobe's instructions
for suitable eongregational singing would be well
borne in mind by those on whom devolve the selec-
tion of hymns and tunes. " Upon every tune offered
to a Christian congregation in the church of God
let there be impressed as with a signet, gravity,
majesty, melody, harmony. Gravity—to bow the
spirit in reverence and forbid the sacrifice of fools.
Majesty—to remind the singer of the character of
that God whose high praise is upon his lip. Melody
—to entice the ear of the hearer, and take even
his wandering affections by guile; and harmony—
to embrace the varying tones of a mixed multitude,
and on the instant breathe into them one spirit
of concord and peace. Such unquestionably is the
character of the old church tune." Whether some
of its modern successors possess all these attributes
may be perhaps doubted ; but we are glad to see
the subject gravely considered and fairly discussed.
The Catholic and the Dissenting services both owe
much to the attractions of their music; the one
from its artistic excellence, the other from the prac-
tice of congregational singing, and we see no rea-
son why this part of our Church service should not
occupy a worthier position in our parish churches.
As the writer before us observes, " We should re-
joice to see our church music and hurnology
studied and improved more and more, not with the
object of inculcating special doctrines or further-
ing sectional views, but with the broad catholic
purpose of enlarging religious feeling, diffusing
healthy enjoyment amoug our people, uniting
class with class, and preparing our congregations
here to join in the grand hallelujah hereafter."
" A Story of 1848-9," is a melanctloly record of the
disappointed hopes,' the baffled ambition, and vain
endeavours of the brave band of Lombard volun-
teers.. Their tale was told with vivid and mourn-
ful interest by Count Emilio Dandolo, one of the
prominent actors in the events he chronicles,
whose brief career was closed by a lingering
disease at Milan, last spring, just as he had once
more begun to hope in the future of his beloved
country. Mr. Alexander Baia contributes a
lengthened paper on the propensities, examined
according to phrenological theories, which will inte-
rest those who turn their attention to physiological
studies. " Gryll Grange" proceeds in its accustomed
strain, full of curious research, and not without
interest in the characters of the tale, though the plot
is not the most probable. An able paper on, Mr.
Kingsley's "Miscellanies," recently published, takes
a very just view of the general scope and tendency
of his writings, and considers he has done good ser-
vice by his labours in literature. The influence
which he exercises over his readers is, the critic
considers, " due to the singular felicity with which
he combines the highest degree of zeal consistent
with clear judgment, and the highest degree of
judgment consistent with ardent zeal. A little
more heat and he would be a rash, injudicious ad-
vocate ; a little more light and he would scarcely
be an advocate at all. He is a partisan and not a
philosopher, but his partisanship is of the most in-
telligent and independent kind." The critic ad-
dresses himself rather to a consideration of Mr.
Kingsley's general gifts and achievements as a
writer than to the analysis of any particular
work. We have further on an interesting paper
by "A man on the shady side of fifty," describing
France and Paris at the different epochs of forty,
thirty, and twenty years since. His reminiscences
are curious, and it will interest the reader to com-
pare the different stages. There are, however, so
many points left unnoticed or slightly touched upon
that we are not surprised at the announcement of
an additional paper, which is to supply deficiences.
The "Chronicle of Current History," a new feature
in this magazine, is continued in a condensed form
and moderate spirit.

It would be too much to speak of him as one of Eng-
land's greatest statesmen. He possessed little originality,
of mind, and no genius. But he was painstaking, able, in-
dustrious, unprejudiced, honest in the best sense of that
term, and incapable of meanness. In spite of the pains
which were taken to settle his opinions in early life, he
seems never to have wholly surrendered his own judgment
to that of others. Indeed, his nature was one of those
which mature themselves very slowly, and are therefore
open to the charge, often very ill-founded, of having no
fixed principles to guide them. How gradual, yet how
steady, were the advances which he made towards the
adoption of those views of commercial policy which are now
everywhere in the ascendant. How, by little and little,
the conviction seems to have dawned upon him that men's
religious opinions ought not of themselves to present any
impediment to their possession of political power. Yet no
man of his age cared more for the wellbeing of the working
classes ; and it would be to do him groat wrong were we to
question his firm attachment to the doctrines and discipline
of the Church of England. Peel's defects were those of
temperament merely. He was constitutionally shy and
proud. He could neither give nor receive unshackled
familiarity. His manner was not a pleasant one, either in
the House of Commons or anywhere else.
He had many admirers, therefore, but few friends. Still
he was a man of whom, with all his shortcomings, Eng-
land has cause to be proud ; and whose name will go down
to posterity among the ablest and most disinterested of those
who have taken the lead in the management of her affairs.
" The Roman6e of Agostino" is the title of a new
story whose first instalment promises an elaborate
plot. It is called " a true story of modern Rome,"
and true and false heirs, and withheld birthrights,
are already its prominent features. Leaving these
mysteries we come to an admirable article
bearing the singular title of " Great Wits,
Mad `'Nits"?" founded, as the reader may guess,
on Pope's celebrated line " Great wits to
madness nearly are allied," a theory which
it succeeds in triumphantly refuting. It
appears that a French writer, physician to the
Hospice de Bicetre has recently published a work
setting forth the theory that "the pre-eminence of
the intellectual faculties has for its organic
condition a special state of disease of the
nervous centres." The humiliating theory con-
tained in this somewhat involved statement is
analysed, discussed, and effectually disposed of
in the article before us. M. Moreau, the author of
the work in question, seems to regard genius as
arising from the same mental or nervous constitu-
tion which in other cases produces insanity. " We
cannot admit," says the critic in confuting this
dogma, " that the strength and energy of the mind
are referable to the same causes as its weakness
and incoherence. To suppose that Shakespere was•
nearly akin to an inhabitant of Hanwell is
about treasonable as to consider the Benicia
Boy an Tom Sayers pathological cases. The
energy of genius is strength, not disease. It
may, like ' vaulting ambition, o'erleap itself.' The
intellect May be overtasked and succumb, but so
likewise may the athlete•overtask his strength and
come home with a broken back." The long list of
examples which M. Moreau brings forward to
support his assertion do not prove much, seeing"
that if a member • of a celebrity's family has
been afflicted with blindness, apoplexy, or paralysis,
he points to the fact as ample evidence of a pre-
disposition to mental disease. But, as his critic
justly argues, if all his facts were as indisputable as
the cases of Tasso and Cowper, they would not war-
rant his deduction. They might prove that many
man of genius had been predisposed to insanity,
but not that their genius' owed its origin to that
piedisposition. The excitability often apparent in
highly gifted natures, and general among the in-
sane, appears to be the only foundation for M.
Moreau 's absurd theory; but that the excitement
is of a totally different kind, that thousands are
extravagantly excitable who are in no way re-
markable for intellectual preeminence, that a
high order of talent often accompanies a
calm and collected manner, are truths appa-
rent on the surface to any reflecting mind. As
is truly observed in the essay before us, " If
a few great men have fallen victims to the facility
with which the nervous mechanism may be dis-
turbed, men who have had nothing great have like-
wise fallen victims by thousands. In this age of
incessant exertion and mental high-pressure how
many have have sunk beneath disease and exhaus-
tion brought on by a constant strain on their
nerves and faculties, by a total disregard of the
inexorable laws of health which exact so stern
a penalty from the offender, who under no circum-
stances could have claimed the pre-eminence of
genius. Which of us has not known men, highly
educated and of respectable capacity, but
devoid of a particle of the divine " afflatus,"
who have fallen sacrifices to an artificial
state of existence, and an incessant strain on the
nervous energy. " Overwork and unseemly neglect
kill the meanest as inevitably as the highest. It
is a tragedy which is no respecter of persons, and
darkens a thousand homes which are never
brightened by a ray of genius." The venerable age
attained by many of humanity's great intellectual
luminaries would of itself suffice to refute the theory
of a diseased organism. We have in our own day
seen some illustrious examples, for it must be re-
membered that not poets and enthusiasts alone, but
all who are remarkable for " pre-eminence of the
intellectual faculties" are included in this assertion.
An assertion so humiliating to the human intellect,
so derogatory to the dignity of the great names
who are the admiration and veneration of succeed-
ing ages, is indeed untenable and untrue, and the
ability, the logic, and the clearness with which the
writer of the essay before us gathers up the argu_
ments which are current on this subject, and seve-
rally disposes of them, will be most gratifying to all
who rightly appreciate one of the Creator's best gifts
and of mankind's most serious responsibilities. In
conclusion, the author turns to another fallacy
current on this subject—the indifference to minor
morals supposed to be inseparable from genius.
This immunity to moral obligations claimed some-
times on their behalf by the friends as well as the
enemies of genius receives no mercy at his hands.
He scorns the idea of " a direct connection between
splendid talents and engagements broken, trusts
violated or bills unpaid,"
and finds the reason for
such moral delinquency in the weakness of the con-
science, not the strength of the intellect. His re-
marks, in conclusion, are so just that we cannot
forbear quoting them
Men of genius are said to be by nature improvident. It
may be so : biography too often seems to sayl is o

' Bentley's Miscellany.
The " Outremanche Correspondence" is con-
tinued in its usual amusing strain. It takes for its
heading this month the old Norman proverb " Ce
qui Tient de flot s'en retourne de maree," which
the writer illustrates by the present state of affairs
in general. The session just expired he considers
should be remembered in future times as the Peckniff

Of that immortal worthy, who was always going to
de great things, but somehow never accomplished
his magnificent promises. "Everything," says M.
Victor Gouache, " that was to operate for the gene-
ral weal was predicted for the year 1860. Public
burdens were to be removed, obnoxious taxes sup-
pressed, reforms of law and of representation ac-
complished—a political millennium was at hand.

flourishes? Absolute and unmitigated disappoint-
ment. Not a single measure has been passed of all
that were promised." Leaving the remainder of
M. Gonache's amusing gossip we come to a tale
from the prolific pen of " Ouida." This month
there is really some variety in the story. The
scene is laid in France, and a mystery is ingeniously
interwoven with the tale which goes deeper than
practical jokes or lovers' quarrels. Still the style
is somewhat diffuse, and if the author could con-
trive to pourtray a hero of another type, not quite

A lengthened paper on " Italy ; her Friends and

in Italy at the close of the fifteenth century. Mrs.
Bushby's tale of " The Belles of the Island" is
brought to a conclusion', which is somewhat
melancholy. The voyage to England, which
Helen Thornley had so long eagerly anticipated, is
productive of the greatest distress, for her husband
is recognised by an old associate as having been
implicated in a forgery and murder committed many
years before. He is tried and condemned, and suffers
the extreme penalty of the law. His heart-broken
wife dies on the voyage back to Jamaica, leaving
her orphan child to the care of her early friend and
companion, Geraldine. When Geraldine reaches
the West Indies she learns that her unhappy lover,
Le Vasseur, has committed suicide, in consequence
of his gaming losses. She subsequently, however
marries an English clergyman, and recovers from
the effect of these complicated troubles. We can-
not say that the picture of West Indian life and
society is very attractive, though possibly life-like.
" Gilbert's History of Dublin" is the subject of an
entertaining paper, giving us particulars of some
of the notabilities who have flourished in that city.
Two recent works of travel are discussed and quoted.
at some length—namely, Captain Burton's account.
of his "Explorations in the Lake Regions of Cen-
tral Africa," and Mr. Atkinson's " Narrative of his
Travels in the Regions of the Upper and Lower
Amoor." Those who have not met with these
works will be able to form a good idea of their con-
tents by perusing these papers. W. C. Kent con-
tributes some melodious verses on the parable of
" Joatham," and there is also a ballad by Frederick
Enoch.
