LITIRATURE.

The Art Journal for April.

The current number of this popular work pre-
sents 114 with various pecimens of arli4ie worth,
among which, engralings of "The Young Fal-
coner," painted by F. Taylor, " The Spring
Head," by Zucchereli, and the Alto Relievo of
Miss Helen Faucit, by J. H. Foley, are most
prominently attractive. The latter production is
most exquisitely rendered, lending a degree of
classic grace and refined detail to the subject,
which identifies it wits the purely beautiful and
ideal. An enthusiastic eulogium on the lady's
talent is appended, bit great as her dramatic
power unquestionably is, we cannot admit that
"Ristori must sit at her feet." Such extrema
and unqualified praise )nly defeats the intention
of the worshipper. Some sweet little pictures,
by F. W. Hulme, are given ; and we have rarely
looked on more enchanting bits of rural portrai-
ture. "A Lane Scene in Surrey," and "A Bye
Way among the Hills in North Wales," are deli-
ciously represented—the light and distance being
admirably toned. The general artistic informa-
tion and literature fully sustain the character of
the journal.

The Yew Monthly Magazine.

The third volume of the Abbe Hue's work on
" Christianity iu China," is the subject of the first
article in this month's number of the New Monthly.
The criticism gives an interesting summary of the
missionary's proceedings, and copious extracts. It
is followed by the continuation of the story which
appeared in the last number by the auth a. of
" Ashley," narrating the fortunes and misfortunes
of Mrs. Yorke and her jealous husband. As the
reader of the last instalment wia have surmised,
Mr. Yorke is the murderer of Edward Janson. The
double murder is arranged with considerable in-
genuity, though not much probability. Ttlis writer
evidently prefers the terrific to the natural or agree-
able. He seeks to excite the interest of lovers of
the horrible by the glom and extravagance of his
incidents, rather than to provide cultivated tastes
with some narrative that might interest without
repelling. A paper on the Duke of Wellington's
Despatches treats of his career in India.
A ' Monody on the late Viscount Strang-
ford," renders a tribute to the unfulfilled
premise of his career, expressing enthusiastic admi-
ration in powerful language. Mr. and Mrs. Bushby
contribute two papers, the first being the descrip-
tion of a visit to Iceland, and the second a transla-
tion from the French of Da Balzac, full of the
tragedy of a continental romance. Sir Nathaniel
continues his " Occasional Notes," and devotes
them in this number to Villemain's Chateaubriand.
Two papers of various merits describe " Life in
California," and "A French Exile's Experience of
the Backwoods." "Retired from Business" is the
title of an amusing paper, founded on the German.
There are several other articles on subjects of gene-
ral interest, none of them, however, possessing any
great claim to originality or superior talent.
