The fourth number of this serial fully maintains
the reputation it has acquired for the pleasant
variety of its stores. The eminent historian who
has so recently departed from amongst us is the
subject of two papers, The first, a tribute from
the pen of the Rev. F. I). Maurice ; the second, a
'very interesting article entitled, " Macaulay as a
toy," containing two letters from Hannah More to
his father. The reader will trace with interest in
these records of his early career, the evidences of
those literary tastes and brilliant talents which
have since made his name so famous. The his-
torian's mother, it appears, had been a favourite
pupil of Hannah More, when she and her sister
kept a ladies' school at Bristol. She preserved an
intimate friendship with both his parents, and
always took a deep interest in the young scholar.
It is curious to read these letters by the light of his
after fame, and to reflect that the boy whose educa-
tion at Westminster school was matter of anxious
discussion, has so recently been consigned to his
last home in its Abbey. Even at the early age re-
ferred to, the peculiar powers of memory and the
extensive study which afterwards so wonderfully
anriched his style, appear to have manifested
themselves. Thus Hannah More alludes to a de-
bate on the rival merits of Eugene and Marl-
borough, and says :—" The quantity of reading
that Tom has poured in, and the quantity of
Writing he has poured out, is astonishing. It is
in vain I have tried to make him subscribe to Sir
Harry Sayile's notion, that the poets are the best
writers next to those who writs prose. We have
poetry for breakfast, dinner, and supper. He re-
cited all ' Palestine,' while we breakfasted, to Mr.
Whalley, and did it incomparably." " Tom Brown
at Oxford" keeps on his way with spirit. The
Most remarkable incident in this instalment is the
account of a " gown and town row." The author
thinks it necessary to preface it by the expression
°),t his disapproval, and the announcement that
sehool of " Muscular Christianity" does '
"°,t, include such use of bodily strength.
modern Pensee *Writers " is the title of a curious
Piper,- which gives us some glimpses into the trea-
suries of thought collected by the Hares, Novalis,
and Jonbert. The popular authoress of " John
Ualifax" contributes one of her attractive papers,
bearing the fascinating title of " The Age of Gold."
It does not refer to our modern money-making or
any such tangible wealth. The age of gold alluded
t 0,,. is the fairy world of imagination and fancy
tivnich devolopes itself in a love of Mother Hub-
uard, and shows a vivid appreciation of Robinson
Crusoe and the Arabian Nights. The paper in
question hail much pleasant writing, and suggests
some important truths to those who have the charge
;,,t the unfolding intellect. An account of "Harper 's
Ferry and old Captain Brown" will deeply inte-
telt the reader. A clear and succinct summary of
*ohn Brown's antecedents is given, a sketch of his
rian of action shown to us, and the excellencies of
,s character prominently displayed in his letters.
After giving the particulars of his death the writer
observes, " Thus ended the first American execu-
'ion for treason, for, strangely enough, it is said
that this God-fearing Bible-believing descendant of
the Pilgrim Fathers, was the first citizen of the
United
States who has died a traitor's death." It
they add point to the fact if we remember that both
grandfathers of this first "traitor" were officers
44 the revolutionary army, and that he himself was
Ilizth in direst descent from one of the pilgrims
rho landed from the Mayflower. The writer re-
'narks o that such a man should thus die is a fact
Vthich has set men thinking. Here is a man, honest,
brave, Christian, both fearing God, and
the
of man to an extent which men read of in
deeds of the heroes and saints of old, but which
57 feel in their own hearts it is rare enough to

scause he is an enthusiast ; because while be lives

concludes his able article by observing that
=own has gained two points by his rash but heroic
t7rort. He has shown that there are still among
41°1 farmers and backwoodsmen, men worthy of
their Puritan fathers; and he has exposed the
'weakness of the slave system, since twenty-two

engineer. We are glad to Nee the improved and
enlarged serias is conducted with so much spirit.
The new edition of lire's Dictionary of Arts, Ma-
niffactures, and Mines, is not likely to pass un-
noticed by the scientific world. It is
under the able editorship of Mr. Robert Hunt,
whose name is a sufficient warrant for its careful
and authentic compilation. It is chiefly rewritten
and greatly enlarged, and illustrated with nearly
two thousand woodcuts. The fourth part contains,
among other valuable information, articles on
caoutchouc and coal. There is also some account
of ehlorometry, the process by which the
strength or value of substances containing chlorine
is tested. We are very glad to see a work of
such a standard character as the late Dr. Ure's
Dictionary reproduced in its present enlarged and
completed form.—Charles Knight's publications
maintain their usual degree of excellence. The
Popular History of England comes down to the
termination of the American war by the Peace of
1783. The sixth volume is brought to a close at
this grand political division, and the seventh vo-
lume will bring us to a yet more exciting and event-
ful period.—The English Cycloperdia continues in its
accustomed manner. Its character is now so well
known as scarcely to need criticism. A few pages
are deficient in this part which will be supplied
next month. 'When the four divisions are com-
pleted the Englisn Cyclopedia will scarcely yield
precedence to any work of reference in our libraries,
for extent, variety, and moderation.—Routledge'e
Shakespeare having reached the forty-eighth part
brings us to his poems end sonnets. We may
therefore infer that the work is approaching its
conclusion, when we shall notice it at greater
length.—Routledge's _lllustrated Natural _History
has reached the eleventh part, both prose and pic-
tures being of a high order. The people's editio❑
of Moore's National Airs offers a boon to all lovers
of good music, since ten songs of lyrical and musi-
cal excellence can be obtained for a shilling, the
compass and arrangement being within the
reach of moderately gifted amateurs.—On•
of Them, by Charles Lever, is written in
that sparkling author's accustomed manner
and will probably afford his admirers much plea-
sant reading hereafter.—Plain or Ringlets is an-
other of the humourous sporting stories by the au-
thor of " Handley Cross.' Leech's pencil as usual
does good service, and adds considerably to its at-
tractions.—The Universal Decorator is likely to im-
prove the public taste by its suggestions for artistic
embellishments of honsehold goods. Some of the
numerous illustrations are full of grace and har-
mony. The editor, Mr. 'Wilson Ross, contributes
a pleasant memoir of Quintin Matsys, the black-
smith painter. A variety of excellent prose mat-
ter is contained in it, as well as the decorative sug-
gestions.— The Literary and Educational Year
Book for 1860 has :an endless variety of literary
and scholastic information: It gives us a list of all
books, journals, periodicals, and engravings, pub-
lished during the past year ; of all metropolitan and
provincial newspapers ; providing us also with an
account of all learned, literary and artistic societies;
of all meckanics' and educational institutes for the
improvement of the people ; giving us the names
of the projectors and managers of these schemes,
the localities where they flourish, and the nature of
their efforts. The heads of the Universities are
cited, and an account of the questions proposed for
the Oxford Middle-class and Society of Arts Insti-
totes' examinations are given in full.

A letter from St. Petersburg of the 24th ult.
says:—

" In Russia a financial crisis, which is almost as
severe as that in Austria, prevails; but there is
this difference in the situation of the two countries

"BROWN BESS" AND THE CB /NA
_EXPEDITION.

—the foreign credit of Austria is destroyed, whilst
Russia enjoys the confidence of foreign capitalists
from the exactness with which: she has constantly
fulfilled her engagements. Owing to the crisis the
precious metals are being hidden, and even cop-
per has become :so scarce that a premium is paid
when given for paper. The commercial community
hopes Government will keep its promise to reduce
the amount of paper money, and to put into circu-
lation from 25,000,000 to 30,000,000 of roubles in
new copper coin. So great is the scarcity of small
coin that notes are cut into pieces to represent such
coin, and retail traders have issued a sort of paper
tokens which they agree among themselves to ac-
cept as coin."

To secure uniformity of ammunition, it is ordered
that the native force shall be armed with the smooth-
bore musket, such as is used by the Indian regi-
ments now serving in China; and corps now armed
with rifles are to have them exchanged before em-
barkation for the old Brown Bess—

pon, which is warranted never to hit anything it is
aimed at. The Chinese, on the contrary,
.have for
a long time been providing themselves with arms
of precision ; they were well supplied wi▪ th them
at the Pei-ho, and are said to have largelyin-
creased their stock since that affair. The contents
of the Governor-General's order will be known to the
Mandarins long before the arrival of the Expedition,
they will not fail to profit by the advantage it offers
them. :How the cunning rogues will chuckle at the
simplicity of the barbarians, who are wilfully dis-
arming themselves in order that the Chinese may
be able to pick them off with impunity There is a
passage in the fourth paragraph of Major Honner's
despatch, describing his successful operations
against the Waghurs, which furnishes a practical
comment on this extraordinary regulation. The
major states that the matchlock men " quietly stood
looking at us, but beyond our fire (common mus •
kets)," and that Lieutenant Hallett was struck by
a matchlock ball at a distance of 600 yards. For-
tunately it lodged in the brass of his telescope. It
is hard to imagine why the order in question should
have been given at all, and still harder to believe
that it should have been given for the reason
alleged, namely, to secure uniformity of ammuni-
tion.—Homeward

The Art Journal.
This elegant and artistic journal continues in its
Usual style. We have three large plates, two of
them taken from pictures in the Royal Collection,
the other an engraving of Foley's statue of
earactacus. The prose portion, however, especially
the,, illustrated articles, is more attractive. Some of
`se vignettes are really charming, and the
leader of artistic taste may beguile many
pleasant hour over its pages. Mr. and
;11.8. S. C. Hall's " Guide to New South
vales" is excellent both in style and illustration,
of while the new series of papers tracing the progress
t„ the Hudson from the wilderness to the sea adds
€' the manifold attractions of this journal. David
,ii°l is the British artist whose works and style are
lettesed in this part, and woodcuts of some of his
chief works are given. Mr. Thornbury contributes
It
zslother of his papers on the painters, showing us
