vernment to the Swiss note, urging the speedy
meeting of the Conferencc

" VIENNA, June 7.
Monsieur le Baron,—The Swiss Chargé d'Af-
Aires has addressed to me, under date of 30th May
last, a note the contents of which agree in all points
with the views expressed to you by the President
of the Confederation on the inadmissibility of the
last French propositions, tending to resolve the
Savoy question.
" M. Steiger's note concludes with the declaration
that Switzerland can but remain firm to her pro-
gramme, and that consequently she reiterates the
wish to see the Conference meet promptly to bring
the question of the neutralised districts, which
affect so evidently the general interests, to a solution
conformable with the stipulations of the treaties.
We are ready, for our part, to comply eventually
with the desire of the Federal Council. However,
the ensemble of the political situation, which is becom-
ing more and more complicated, does not allow us
to take the initative in the matter.
" The Swiss Chargé d'Affaires has also presented
me with a memorandum, dated 25th May last, the
text of which I dispense forwarding to you.
" I beg of you, M. le Baron, to thank the Presi-
dent of the Confederation for the communication of
that interesting document, which produces new
arguments destined to refute the points of view
developed in the different documents emanating
• from the French Cabinet on the subject of this
question. "RECIIBERG."

THE AIA.GAZINES.

Blackwood's Magazine.
In the political article the Reform Bill is the
subject treated of, and considering the opinions of
this periodical, it is not to be wondered at that the
writer indulges in some pardonable exultation con-
cerning its failure. It is too much to expect any
magnanimous consideration from the Conserva-
tives, after the very unfair manner in which their
measure was treated last year. The withdrawal
is here styled " as a pretty instance of poetical jus-
tice, and a curious illustration of party politics. It
is said that Lord John is extremely mortified at
the frustration of his unhappy bill, and we can
well believe it, for, besides losing the chance of
identifying his name with a further measure of
Reform, he has incurred, for the third time in his
life, the disgrace of turning out a Government, and
failing to fulfil the pledge on the strength of which
he was supported.' In vindication of the Opposi-
tion, as being charged with a factious obstruction,
it is stated that seventy out of the ninety amend-
ments to be proposed in committee werd given by
the supporters of the Government. Finally, it is
truly stated that the one overwhelming obstacle
was the doing of the Ministers themselves in their
French Treaty and their Budget. Lord John an-
nounced that it was his duty to let the discussions
on the Treaty and Budget take precedence of the
debates on Reform, and hence the stumbling block
that really barred the way of the representative
measure. In conclusion, there are some remarks
on the rumours lately prevalent in regard to dis-
union and disaffection in the ranks of the Conser-
vatives, and it is forcibly argued that nowhere is
there a party in which perfect unanimity is to be
found. " There has always been a certain amount
of disaffection in every, political confederation.
Canning had to complain of it, Peel had to com-
plain of it, Disraeli has to complain of it also. On
the whole, however, the discipline of the Tory
party is remarkable, is in striking contrast to that
of the Whig rank, and no doubt Mr. Disraeli is
perfectly satisfied with the confidence which he
enjoys.' It may strike some calm unprejudiced
observers, that these incessant reports about their
opponents come rather inconsistently from a party
whose leaders are proverbial-for their quarrels; and
it is to be c3nsidered, for the sake of argument,
what would have been said had Mr. Disraeli ever
followed the example of Lord John, in explaining
one of his many disputes with Lord Palmerston,
and, in speaking of Lord Derby to the Commons,
had said, "My noble friend," I mean " the
noble lord ?" If, while displaying uniform
concord and remarkable unanimity, we
hear of their everlasting warfare, what
would be said if they took it in turns to send each
other out of office, changed places as leaders, took
alternately and indiscriminately the post of
Premier, Foreign Secretary, &c., and indulged in
other Whig manoeuvres to amuse the public and
mystify their friends. It is asserted here, and it
is to be hoped the vexed question will be left at
rest, when an authority like this magazine has
so ably and eloquently taken it up, that " the great
Tory party take a view of Mr. Disraeli's character
somewhat different from that of his too captious
critics, that they are not unmindful of Ms services,
and that they are prepared to give him their cordial
support." We conclude our remarks on this excel-
lent article with the following forcible passage :
"It should be remembered that his rise to power was
peculiar, and would justify an impartial observer in ex-
pecting a much stronger dissent from his authority than
that which actually exists. He rose into power when the
party was at war itself ; when sharp words were flung
about on every side ; when ridicule and recrimination were
all too freely used. Who can wonder •that, j, ining in the
strife with more than usual spirit, he should have made
many enemies—implacable as they are powerful ? But
over and above this, the very success of his efforts raised
him into authority over the heads of men who were gradu-
ally working their way upwards, aid who looked forward
with reason to leading the Tory party, sooner or later. He
has had to endure the implacable jealousy of these men,
in addition to the implacable hate of those whom he ridi-
culed; and the marvel is that, having to contend against
such influences, Mr. Disraeli has been able to maintain his
position at all."
The paper on " Judicial Puzzles" is very well
worth reading, and some of the occurrences men-
tioned are most curious. Hardly anything is
stranger than the infatuation that possesses some
people in moments of difficulty to declare they have
done things which they have not. It is quite out of
the common to meet with papers of this sort in a
magdzine, and the readers cannot fail to be enter-
tained by them. " Norman Sinclair," is a little
more animated in this instalment, and as it pro-
gresses-it will most likely improve. There are many
other essays on various topics ; the continuation
of " Captain Speke's Adventures in Somali Land,"
some criticisms on the Royal Academy, and other
exhibitions ; also there is an article on poetry,
which contains some very sensible remarks on
many points, although it overrates in some degree
thepoetical achievements of the day. It remarks
Few are the poetry works which can tempt us
through them now-a-days, but because we are old,
dare any one suppose, that youth is dead and the
seasons changed." This is not true, because it is
impossible not to regret that we have no longer the
race of poetic giants in the land that we had in
the days of Byron, Campbell, Moore, and Scott.
Let another generation pass and the sublime mystics
who are the rage at present will not have left works
that will live beside the immortal medodies that
charmed the early part of this century. On the
whole, there is a good deal of interesting and in-
- structive matter in lifaga this month.

MARSEILLES, JULY 4•

Dublin University Magazine.
The remarkable tale of " Vonved the Dane, Conn
of Elsinore," is continued—the details are most
striking, and we meet in this portion with a most
effective account of the revenge of Mads Neilsen.
Horrible is the fate of Herr Nealen—but one can
hardly pity him ; for if there is one character
more contemptible than another it is that of the
betrayer, Moore has vigorously denounced such
baseness in a glowing passage in " Lallah Rookh,"
beginning—
" Oh, for a tongue to curse the slave
Whose treason, like the Dead Sea's blight,
Comes o'er the counsels of the brave,
And blasts them in their hour of might."
The second chapter relates the adventures of the
unhappy young wife of the Count, and it is most
interesting. The sketches in this story are vivid
and powerful.. The hero is not a common malefac-
tor, but a brave man, who was so much ill-used
and insulted that he had every excuse for the
course he took—a course which in its wildest
moments was never stained with disgrace, or
blackened with cruelty. The wild rovers of the
sea were seldom those• who displayed the
night side of nature, and one often meets
in their records much consideration that
would have done honour to the pious dwellers
on the shore. There is an article on " Tennent's
Ceylon," which is late in the day ; but it does not
so much signify since it discusses a work that will
outlast many books published long after its appear-
ance. After a good summary of its contents, and
some pertinent remarks thereon, the writer con-
cludes by saying :—" We are not surprised that
this work has already reached a fifth edition. It
is one on which the author may rest his fame. It
forms a cyclopedia and standard reference to all
who seek to be informed upon this interesting
island, and an indispensable handbook to the emi-
grant and visitor. It is a monument of the talent,
industry, and perseverance of our distinguished
countryman." It is always gratifying to welcome
such a treasure to the archives of national litera-
ture, but it is not often that we can find a work so
worthy of appreciation as the one now under dis-
cussion, and the tribute ;here paid to its merits is
only what is just and reasonable. There is a
paper on Rienzi by Professor de Vericourt, which
is well written. The writer does not take a very
favourable view of the great man. He observes
that " Sir Edward Lytton, generally so faithful to
history with reference to customs and manners in
his admirable romances, evinces a boundless
enthu-
siastico reverence for Rienzi—with him the accession
of the Tribune would have been

carefully, but takes too favourable a view
of the transaction as a whole. It states
that
," Time will show whether the ambi-
tious speculation of the Chancellor' of the Exche-
quer in dropping the substance of valuable
revenue in - pursuit of augmented trade, has
grasped at a shadow, or has on the contrary
inaugurated a new era of unparalleled pro-
sperity." To judge from the present working of the
marvellous Treaty and miraculous Budget we should
say the sormer would be the most probable result,
and even if the experiment succeeds it will not
justify such an awful risk being run in such a reck-
less manner. Great blame attaches itself to those
who spoil a good cause ; and while declaiming all
the merits of free-trade and the advantages of in-
creased commerce, these wise legislators should
have remembered the warning of Lord Macaulay,
not to fight the battles of truth with the wea-
pons of error. They gave up reciprocity, and
in their vehement desire to call foreigners their
brothers, they denied to their own countrymen
their rights, and treated them as they dared not
have proposed to do the foreigners themselves,
since they would have spurned a treaty whose
terms proposed they should take all the loss at once
and not share the profit for some time. Until some-
thing more decided and definite as to national ad-
vantage is seen to accrue from the new system, it
would be as well for the admirers of Mr. Gladstone
who think he monopolises the wisdom and oratory
of the age to stay their panegyrics and reserve their
felicitations. Finis coronat opus, and it is not cus-
tomary to recite the odes of victory before the con.
quest has been gained.

Fraser's Magazine.
The present number of Fraser, although dis-
cussing a wide range of subjects, is scarcely equal
in interest to its immediate predecessors. One
permanent addition to the table of contents has
been made, by the introduction of the Chronicle of
Current History, which is in future to be a con-
spicuous feature in this magazine. It is framed
something after the fashion of our Parisian contem-
poraries, and contains a succinct though compre-
hensive 'summary of passing events. In the pre-
sent instance we have the condensed record of the
varied intelligence of the past half-year; and
though we must confess that discussions and dis-
sertations on the Budget, the Treaty, the state of
Italy, 'the prospects of Continental Europe, the
balance of parties and Reform Bill, at home, are
more familiar than welcome, yet there is little
doubt that, if carried on with care, intelligence,
and consideration, this contemporary chronicle will
be a valuable addition to the pages of Fraser. The
fifth and sixth volumes of Mr. Froude's History
are discussed at some length, though the writer
prefers taking a general survey. of the aspects of
the time to minutely criticising the work. The
volumes in question, as most of our readers are
probably aware, refer to one of the most difficult
epochs within he range of the historian of our
country ; when the sceptre had just fallen from the
vigorous, if capricious grasp of " bluff King Hal,"
leaving the helm of state to be seized by the eager
but incompetent hands of Somerset and his suc-
cessors. It is justly remarked, in the article before
us,`that the discussion of such an era demands more
than ordinary sagacity and temperance in the his-
torian. "If he measure men and events by any
standard adjusted on the scale of happier times, he
will exaggerate the one and underrate the other.
In the Conservative party of this period he will
see none but bigots and persecutors; in the Re-
formers none but headlong destructives." There
' is truly, as the same writer subsequently observes,
a Romanist chaos and a Protestant chaos, and it is
rarely, indeed, that we meet with an author who
escapes from both. The work of Mr. Fronde re-
ceives cordial encomium, and still greater success
is prophesied to await him in the stirring
annals of the reign of the Maiden Queen.
Viscount Bury contributes an interesting paper
on the Hythe School of Musketry, describing the
course of instruction awaiting the Volunteer officers
who are selected to take part in its training. The
introductory remarks on the general features and
tendencies of the Volunteer movement are full of
sound sense. The primary importance of each man
being a good shot, and the absolute necessity of due
attention being paid to the- cleaning of the rifles,
are points strongly dwelt upon in the course of the
paper. The clever author of " Headlong Hall"
continues his eccentric but ably-written story of
" Gryll Grange," and leaves the heroes and heroines
in a very entangled and perplexing position, but it
is rather valuable for the suggestiveness and origi-
nality of the conversations than for the interest of
the narrative. The other story " Wheat and Tares'
also progresses, though without any great fascina-
tions. We miss this month the pleasant essays of
A. K. H. 8., whose writings have become one of
the recognised attractions of Fraser. In his stead
we have an article " On the Importance of Energy
in Life," which, though containing sound and-Sen-
sible matter, is somewhat too weighty and involved
in its style to do full justice to the subject. The
writer dwells upon the possession of this invaluable
quality as a remarkable characteristic of the great
men who have attained success in the several careers
of the general, the statesman, the politician, the
lawyer, and the author. With regard to the
artist or the man -of letters, it is justly observed
that energy is as requisite for the production of a
great work in literature or art as in any other
vocation, though physical strength may be less
necessary. " The general or the statesman can re-
ceive aid of all kinds; in many cases he has but to
determine upon the course and issue his orders,
leaving them to be executed by others. The poet
cannot get an' aide' to observe, nor the historian a
secretary to study, for him ; still less can he hand
over some of his task to be performed by another."
The energy indispensable to the successful comple-
tion of a great work through inward misgiv-
ings And outward difficulties is also of no
trifling ,value. - In the more ordinary pur-
suits of life, the possession of this quality
will often neutralise considerable deficiencies
in other respects. The second part of the
essay on " Physical Theories of the Phenomena of
Life' is given, 'but its matter is too abstruse and
its style too elaborate and technical to adapt it
to the general reader. The series of papers on
" The Literary Suburb of the Eighteenth Cen-
tury" is brought to a conclusion—the object of the

Colburn's United Service Magazine.
The leading chapter in this number is upon the
reorganisation of the Indian Army. This is a sub-
ject of such long-standing and continued contro-
versy, that the public, despite its importance, be-
gins to weary of it. The author condemns . Sir
Charles Wood's policy, and suggests various plans
of his own. The next is upon the Military Store
Department, and the recommendation that all
young officers who are at present engaged in that
department should be at once released from their
desks, which may be occupied by civil clerks, and
turned into the storehouses, there personally to in-
spect and handle the various munitions of war, is
worthy the attention of the Horse-Guards. There
are some severe but not uncalled for strictures
on military education and the examinations for
commissions. It is all very proper that candi-
dates for commissions should possess a reasonable
amount of education ; but that education ought
rather to be of a nature befitting their future career
than that of a public lecturer. Why should the
embryo general be expected to answer questions such
as how many Popes there have been, and others
equally absurd. Beyond a reasonable general edu-
cation, military tactics, general geography, not the
minute division of counties, should be required.
Personal experiences of the Italian campaign, in
which we find a vivid description of the battle of
Montebello by an eye witness, is well written. At
a time when owing to the severity of the season so
many wrecks have taken place on our coa d so
much is spoken about harbours of refugee re-
marks in "A leaf from the Wreck Charts" show that
the greater number of wrecks does not arise from.
want of such harbours, the loss of the larger num-
ber of vessels being due to their being shorthanded,
ill found, and incompetently commanded:—
Let us for a moment consider, as we are enabled to do,
from the returns of the Wreck' Register, as well as from.
the Report of the Commissioners upon Harbours of Re-
fuge, what proportion of the wrecks that annually occur
upon our coasts are really unavoidable. On this point it
is necessary to direct attention to one or two statements in-
variably to be found in all returns upon maritime disasters,
and they all tend to one unvarying conclusion, viz. :—that
but comparatively few accidents occur to ships ably manned,
well found, and.. commanded by able and sober masters.
And also that the havoc is all, or nearly all, confined to
vessels of the smaller class, but this is not in consequence
of their being small, but simply because in most large ves-
sels greater care is shewn in the selection of a crew, in the
appointment of a competent master, and in having good
anchors, cables, chronometers, compasses, charts, and other
aids to navigation.
So much is this the case, that in nearly every instance
the loss is sustained by vessels ranging from 75 to 750 tons.
because these are the craft most likely to be sailed, as the
phrase goes, " e^onomically." Vessels so sailed are ne-
cessarily Weak handed, badly found, have chafed cables,
and old anchors, and, to crown all, are but too often com-
manded by men possessing but few recommendations for
filling the office of captain, except that of being part owner,
The result is, that such a union of evils afford but a sorry
chance of successful voyages, and we find the consequence
of such an alliance in " Lloyd's List."
The subject of faulty anchors and cables has become so
notorious as to attract the attention of our nautical M.P.'s.
We find that Sir James tllphinstone, the member for
Portsmouth, has given notiet of a bill to establish a test for
anchors and chain cables for the merchant service. At
present any sordid wretch having a vessel can send her to
sea with a certainty that she must come to grief on the first
occasion when a reliance upon her chain or her anchor be-
comes a question of life and death to her crew. It seems
that from forty to fifty shillings for an ordinary. brig,
schooner, or even for vessels of superior dimensions, is the
difference of expense, between a sound and trusty cable
I and a bad one. And for such a paltry consideration as this.
there are scoundrels who imperil the lives of our brave
sailors. These worthless wretches know that the insur-
ance
will be paid, and this leads to a desire in such degraded
minds, that their rotten vessels may be wrecked. It may
seem inexplicable how the losses of these men can be a gain
to the insurance office, but it is explained by the motto, of
"the more wrecks, the more premiums." The shipowner
wants a new ship for an old one, and the underwriter is not
insensible to the above axiom.
In " Secret transactions in Russia during 1812"
we find the secret policy of Russia exposed, as also
events which, though trifles in themselves, regu-
lated the course of that decisive campaign. The
conduct of Sir Robert Wilson, who was in reality
the directing spirit, is spoken of in the highest
terms; he is but another example, unfortunately
not by any means wanting, of British gratitude.
" Sir Robert Wilson's services," says the writer,
" we are told were recognised by all the sovereigns
of the great alliance except his own." The number
is completed by papers on " The new Germania
frontier," " What is to be done with Sicily ?" this
time will shortly show; " The Transport Service,"
" Greenwich Hospital," and "A French View of
he Organisation of the British Army."

Colburn's New Monthly Magazine.
The clever author of " Ashley" appears as usual
conspicuous among the contributors to this maga-
zine, and the present specimen is not inferior to the
past ones. Sometimes, it is true, the writer has
allowed his imagination to depict the horrible too
much in his stories, but as a general rule they are
most artistic descriptions of life, men, and man-
ners, finely conceived, and forcibly executed, and
in their brilliant entirety they redound greatly to
the credit of their author, and form one of the most
attractive of the contents of this publication. The
character of Miss Carlyle is most natural. There
is nothing that more effectually destroys domestic
peace than such a woman as she .was. Constantly
nagging and grumbling she was covert in her
attacks, but. not the less fatal were those craft,'
onslaughts., The apparition of Captain Thorn is
the chief feature of this portion. " The Belles of
the Island" is continued ; it is a sensible story re-
vealing the mischief and misery caused by girls
rushing away to be married in a wild state of
hurry and ignorance for the sake of being settled,
and the great blame that attaches itself to those
parents who persist in forcing their children to
the altar without any, regard to their feelings-
