Lappmark" is given, and we have besides an essay

- -
on " Vast Effects from Little Causes," and a sketch

of the career of " Sebastian Bach."

CORNHILL. "The Bramleighs of Bishop's
Folly " brings some striking scenes before us, and
Marian evidently seeking to make a grand match.
" Captain Marryatt at Langham" is a most interest-
ing paper that may be well recommended to notice.

It presents the reader with some details of the latter

years of this distinguished writer. "The Knapsack
in Spain" is an attraztive sketch ; and some of the

descriptions make one feel inclined to follow the
writer's example. " Breech-loading Rifles "is an
appropriate article just now, and considerable pains

have been taken with this one, and as the various

specimens are given in illustrations, it is more easy
_ _

or the reader to form an idea of the matter.

"Toasts and Sentiments" form an agreeable change
to heavier subjects, and many curious and lively

anecdotes are told.

" The Pageant at Pesth " gives

a good account of the imposing ceremonial that
electrified that part of the world. It is said that
no more " remarkable sight has been witnessed by
this generation." " Stone Edge" is continued in
some eventful chapters, which brings about startling
changes in the fortunes of some of the characters.
TEMPLE BAR.—" Stephen Lawrence, Yeoman,"
is continued at some length, and the plot is

becoming more developed as it proceeds. The

heroines of this tale are both too worldly to attract
much interest for themselves, but the manner in
which their doings are described is very effective.
" A Lost Name" continues its eventful details, and
Sir Roke Wycherly figures away in an extra-

ordinary style. An interesting paper is met with
in " Lancashire Song Writers," which affords a

good insight into the peculiarities of that style.

it seems strange to think that this dialect so

unattractive to the uninitiated " has its high

priests of poesy, whose names are household words

in Lancashire homes, and whose wayward notes of
minstrelsy touch hearts of rich and poor alike." " lle
or She" is a sad story, that is told in a feeling man-

ner. " Man-killers and Man-eaters" is a sketch

that may be useful as a warning to the rash and
impetuous ; it is melancholy in its incidents. "A

Lunar Volcano in Eruption" will please some rea

ders, from its scientific information.

" Gup" is still

continued. " Poor Torn" is an amusing sketch, full
of incident, and novel in its way. " Ordered

Abroad" i ,worthy of perusal. "The Building of
St. Sophia" is an impressive sketch in verse.
TINSLEY'S MAGAZINE. No. I.—This new maga-
zine, conducted by Edmund Yates, and ably illus-
trated by several artists, takes its place among
the light and animated periodicals which have

in our days succeeded to more weighty journals
It promises fairly so far, beginning with five
chapters of a novel by W. IL Russell, of Crimean
and American reputation, with the prologue of a
modern romance by the editor, which plunges at
once into terrible complications, and gives us a
liberal supply of sketches and criticisms in jest and
earnest on the minor questions of the day. No
shadow of politics is allowed to darken its pages,
but the writers tell us frankly how they were
" starved at Spithead," how they went through the
mazes of the Belgian ball, and mourned over the
untimely fate of the brave but unfortunate Maxi-
milian. It will be a pleasant companion for a rail-
way journey, or for any other interval when the
reader wants nothing more solid than amusement.
THE VICTORIA MAGAZINE.—" English Gipsies',
is the title of the first paper, which gives us some
interesting details of the life of these wandering
tribes. The twelfth part of "The Women of the
Latin and Germanic Races" is given, and discusses
the position of Frenchwomen in regard to industrial
occupation. " Premature Interment" is a painful
subject, but one that it is well to discuss occasion-
ally. The various topics of the day connected with
women's interests are as usual amply discussed.
MACMILLAN.—The August number of Macmil-
lan shows us an attractive table of contents. We
have one of Lady Duff Gordon's, always fresh and
delightful, pictures of Arab life ; a well-written
paper on Stephen's essay on some of the charac-
teristics of Reynolds as a painter ; an article on
The Old Bardic Poetry ;" and two important
instalments of the clever and original novels now
running through the magazine.
THE ENGLISH MAGAZINE, No. I.—Kent and Co.
This is a new claimant for notice, and would seem
to have entered upon a race overstocked by compe-
titors. Let us hope that there may be yet space
and a welcome for the new corner, who belongs to
the lighter order of serials, having a plentiful supply
of fiction and short and animated papers.
THE SUNDAY MAGAZINE.—Miss Tytler's story of
Anglo-French life is continued with unabated inte-
rest, and among other excellent papers we have a
memoir of Parkin Jeffcock, who lost his life while
nobly trying to rescue others at the Oakes colliery,
an essay on Trades' Unions in connection with the
religion of the people, "Job's Son," a page from
hospital experience, and " Quiet Resting Places,"
a pleasant chapter of reflections.
GOOD WORDS.—George Macdonald continues his
story of " Guild Court." Mrs. Walker describes to
us the Baths of Broussa, Mr. Hales discourses on
the peculiarities of some English dialects, Professor
Sbairp gives us a memoir of St. Margaret of Scotland,
one of those good and pious women who at intervals
adorn history. There is therefore no lack of variety
or entertainment, especially when we add an ani-
mated paper " From India," and a page or two on
" Summer Holidays."
THE MONTH.—" A Stormy Life," by Lady
Georgiana Fullerton, continues the chronicle of
Queen Margaret's troubled life. " English Pre-
miers" this month are Grenville, Portland, and
Perceval, so that the series is proceeding rapidly.
" Life in the Landes" gives us a picture of a strange
, existence. Other papers of interest, most of them
ecclesiastical or historical, are to be found in the

number.
THE ARGOSY.—This serial has a good many well-
written papers, and seems altogether likely to keep
its place among its host of rivals. " Painters'
Perils," " A Paris Diogenes," and " Belgians at
Home," aro among its subjects.
BOYS OF ENGLAND JOURNAL.—Part 8, conducted
by E. J. Brett. This excellent book for the amuse-
ment and instruction of boys still continues a pros-
perous career. The tales " Captain of the School,"'
" Strongbow," and "lie would be a Sailor," con-
tinue to afford great amusement. They are excel-
lently written. The progress of the " British Boy,"
" British Sports," &c., are full of interest, and well
calculated to amuse as well as instruct the youths
of the United Kingdom. The illustrations are
excellent.

THE WORKS OF ROBERT BURNS.—A very elegant
edition of the works of Robert Burns is now in
course of monthly publication in shilling parts, by
Mr. Wilson, of Glasgow. It is embellished in the
highest style of art, and edited by the Rev. P. H.
Waddell. On completion it will form a beautiful
volume, and prove an attractive addition to the
library of every admirer of nature's poet, and an
ornament for the drawing-room table of every
person of taste and judgment. It is decidedly the
best edition of Burns's works that has yet appeared.

CRICKET.—TIIE TRADESMEN OF ST. JAMES'S AND
THE C DIVISION OF POLICE.—The annual match between
the tradesmen of St. James's anti the C division of police
will take place on Thursday next at the Eton and Middle
sex ground. The excellent band of the C division will be
in attendance, and a goodly muster, should the weather
prove favourable, is expected.
DESTRUCTIVE WATERSPOUT.—Last week a water-
spout burst over the village of Palazzolo, near Udine, in
Italy, and did great damage. Not fewer than 30 houses
were destroyed and 70 damag d. Ten persons were killed
and 28 injured by the falling buildings. Out of 1,500 in-
habitants upwards of 400 are without an asylum.
MURDER AND SUICIDE NEAR CARLISLE.—A
melancholy circumstance occurred near Carlisle on Friday
night. A person named Toppin, who has been for some
time residing with his wife and family in Asley-street,
went out for a walk with his grandson, and proceeded to
the foot of the data which enters the Eden at the Bone
Mill. There he tied one end of a cord to the nock of the
child, and fastened the other end to his own neck, and,
having walked up iu the direction of the varnish works
plunged into the dam. His coat and hat, and likewise the
child's hat, were found on the bank, and assistance was at
once obtained, but before the bodies could be got out life
was extinct. Toppiu was a man in good circumstances,
