SNAPDRAGONS.

Human worldly life is a game at snapdragons !
Reader, cast up a few of your acquaintance on your
fingers and thumbs, and say,—have we not propounded
a truth subtle as light, and " deep almost as life?" Have
we not, by the magic of the sentence, brought to your
memory the pushing, elbowing, scrambling, succes,fal
folks, who, intent upon the plums, have dashed their
hands into the world's bowl, and clutched the savoury
fruit ? And do you not now remember the weak and
luckless, who have been pushed and pushed away from
the feast, who have now plucked up heart, and tried to
scramble to the bowl—have now grasped the hot plums,
have carried them within hair's-breadth of their lips,—
and lo ! they have been suddenly jerked, or pushed, or
elbowed hence ; tho plums have dropped from their
fingers, and, dejected, worn out, they have retired from
the struggle, feeling that it was not for them that plums
were gathered and the bowl was filled ?

Among the remaining contents of the maga-
zine we may mention a pleasant paper, which
traces the fortunes and characters of the
people the author met in an omnibus and in a
shop, dipping iuto many au imaginary romance,
which might yet be inferior to the real dramatic
interest of the lives before him. The numerous
woodcuts are not so good as might be expected.
It would be far better to give fewer prints of a
higher character. The recent lives of Shelley, the
Rev. Mr. Kingsley, Andromeda, and other new
books are noticed. The Exhibitions of Paintings
furnish some very agreeable papers, and a plea-
santly told tale entitled " Peulisk," will entertain
the reader. There are numerous other papers of
varying merits and attractions.

THE CANNING PROCLAMATION.

We must aongrabalate the Times on having at
last discovered how the CANNING proclamation
may be used to damage the Government. Yes-
terday the Leviathan was quite off the rails, and
inadvertently recommended the very course which
Ministers bad decided on pursuing.

To-day it has discovered the mistake, and so we
have an article declaring that Lord CANNING's
outrageous proclamation ought to be defended by
Ministerg, simply because Lord CANNING
must not be attacked. It will be very
satisfactory to Lord CANNING to be now
defended by the very journal which was the first
to run him down ; but at this his Lordship
will not be at all surprised, for when the Times
was his enemy, it was generally supposed that
Lord CANNING'S reputation was gone. The best
of prosperity is, that it brings with it the praises
of the Leviathan.

We hear a great deal said about the indis-
cretion of Mr. DISRAELI. All the old Whigs, who
have grown grey in office, are shocked at the idea of
a Minister giving a plain answer to a plain question
Whether Lord CANNING's proclamation be good or
bad, just or outrageous, there was but one course
open to Ministers, that of heaping adulation,
upon both CANNING and his proclamation. So
say the old Whigs. We are glad to find
that Mr. DISRAELI does not entertain
such red tape notions, and that he allowed no
bureaucratic reserve to prevent him from frankly
repudiating Lord CANNING'S monstrous act of
spoliation. We should, indeed, have been humi-
liated if, even for a day, that iniquitous measure
had gone forth to Europe, ratified by the implied
sanction of her MAJESTY'S Government. As to
the notion which all the tapists, such as PANHITRE,
SMITH, and WOOD, have got hold of, that Lord
CANNING'S authority will be weakened by Mr.
DISRAELI'S manly declaration, we never heard
anything more absurd. The despatch is dated
April 19th, so-that it will have arrived in India,
and the proolairiation will have been cancelled,
long before the Oudeans—even supposing them to
take iu the Tiines be
with which her come aware of the censure
Majesty's Government have justly
visited Lord CANNING'S intemperate policy.

The despatch in reference to L-'rd Osmium's
Oude proclaakition has be laid before Pallia-
moo, in fulfilment of the ;edge given on Thurs-
day evening. There is some
slight reticence,
two paragraphs being erased from the Published
copy, inasmuch as they might have ham pro-
ductive of mischief, if published. Well
.might
the Governor General have exclaimed, "save
me from my friends ;" for it was those who called
tL emselves his friends (!) that forced the expla-
nations, and compelled the Government to de-
olare that they did not approve of the important
document which he had issued without the sanc-
tion or authority of the Home Government.

LITERATURE.

The- National Magazins.

The first thing that greets the reader in opening
the Kationat. Magazine is one that immediately
arrests his attention : for it holds over him the
spell exercised by the name of one whose hand has
lately dropped the pen ; and even though these
citations from " The Wit and Opinions of Douglas
Jerrold," are full of jests and mirthful satire, yet
something of solemnity mingles with them the
shadow of a recent grave. Were it not for the
leniency inspired by this recollection, we might say
that the extracts are scarcely worthy of the author'e
reputation and their own pretentious introduction.
The repartee or playful sarcasm which may sparkle
in a social circle loses its point in print or seems
trivial. But some things are among this collection
that are well worth notice. We subjoin a few
samples :

A CARELESS HOUSEMAID.
That girl would break the Bank of England if she
put her hand upon it.
THE ESTATE OF THE MIND.
There are estates in this merry England held by single
owners—estates which a good horseman could scarcely
cover between sunris3 and sunset. How glorious the
scenes ! What majestic woods—temples for time itself !
What bright and bounteous waters What hills, gol-
den and waving with the triumphs of the sower ! What
varying richness of hill, dale, forest, and flood I And
all this belongs to one man. But are there no other
estates as true (albeit not as tangible) as the earthly
domain of the earthly noble ? Give him a few sheets of
paper, and in a few days or weeks a noble of another
sort will create a domain which neither scrivener can
convey nor usurer seize upon. Hero are wo.)ds never
to be overthrown by gambler's dice—ccrn•fields and
meadows that defy the ace of trumps, ay, all the hon
ours, let them be packed and shuffled with the rarest
delight. Eternity alone can foreclose upon them.

CHRIST Y'S MINSTRELS.

The entertainments afforded by these singers
continue to draw full audiences, and though some
of their songs are nearly three hundred nights old,
they seem to yield as much delight as on the first
performance. The company blends the talents of
vocalists, musicians, and comedians in rather a
novel degree, and amuse quite as much with their
droll burlesques of 'the opera and, circus, as they
interest by their admirable singing of pathetic bal-
lads and sentimental nigger ditties. Among the
well selected contents of the programme we may
mention, as our especial favourites, " I long for my
Home," " Beautiful Star," "We are coming, Sister
Mary," and the performance of the " Sleigh Polka."
The first-named ballad is sung by Mr. Rayner with
good taste and exquisite feeling, and the subdued
choral refrain appended to it is very sweet and
" telling." The second air referred to fully merits
the same distinction.

The popular Quartette, " Come where my Love
lies dreaming," is a charming composition, remind-
ing us of the old English madrigal, and a little
more attention to the harmonious working of one
or two of the passages would add materially to its
effect.

The entertainment is altogether of that pleasant
and well arranged kind which is certain to meet
with liberal patronage, and " Ohristy's Minstrels"
are prominently among those to whom we should
introduce our town friends and country cousins.

NICHOLSON V. ELLIS-JUDTWENT.

In this case the plaintiff, Clerk of the Peace for the
city and liberties of Westminster, claimed of the defen-
dela, Clerk of the Peace for Middlesex, certain fee., by
virtue of his office, under the 7th and Bth Vic., which
transferred the adjourned sessions fur Westminster to
Cierkenwell. It was contended by the defendant that
the act making the transfer only gave the fees to the
then holder of the office, in lieu of compensation, and
that the plaintiff, as his successor, had no right to re-
ceive them. The Court were divided in opinion—two
on each side.

Lord Campbell said, in cases where the judges were
equally divided in opinion, generally no judgment
given, but as it was usual for the junior judge in such
cases to withdraw, the majority would be two to one
for the defendant, which would allow him to take the
case before a court of error.

SNAPDRAGONS.

Human worldly life is a game at snapdragons !
Reader, cast up a few of your acquaintance on your
fingers and thumbs, and say,—have we not propounded
a truth subtle as light, and "deep almost as life?" Have
we not, by the magic of the sentence, brought to your
memory the pushing, elbowing, scrambling, succes- fat
folks, who, intent upon the plums, have dashed their
hands into the world's bowl, and clutched the savoury
fruit ? And do you not now remember the weak and
!nckless, who have been pushed and pushed away from
the feast, who have now plucked up heart, and tried to
scramble to the bowl—have now grasped the hot plums,
have serried them within hair',-breadth of their lips,—
and lo ! they have been suddenly j .rked, or pushed, or
elbowed hence; the plums hate dripped from their
fingers, and, dejected, worn out, they have retired from
the struggle, feeling that it was not for them that plums
were gathered and the bowl was filled ?
- -

Among the remaining contents of the maga-
zine we may mention a pleasant paper, which
traces the for une3 and characters of the
people the author met in an omnibus and in a
shop, dipping iuto many an imaginary romance,
which might yet be inferior to the real dramatic
interest of the lives bef,re him. The numerous
woodcuts are not so good as Might be expected.
It would be far better to give fewer prints of a
higher character. The recent lives of Shelley, the
Rev. Mr. Kingsley, Andromeda, and other new
books are noticed. The Exhibitions of Paintings
turni3h some very agreeable papers, and a plea-
santly told tale entitled " Peulisk," will entertain
the reader. There are numerous other papers of
varying merits and attractions.

By F. B. COIJRTENAY,
MEMBER OF THE ROYAL COLLEGE OF SURGEONS.

" We never commence the perussl of works on this malady with-
out preparing ourselves to meet most appalling descriptions of human
sufferings. It was, therefore, a most agreeable surprise to us to
find this error (as it appears to us) carefully avoided in this work,
and the subject treated in a common sense, and truly, practical
manner. . . . No medical man should undertake the treatment
of Spermatorrhcea without first consulting this work."—Medlcal

THE OFFICERS AT LUCKNOW,

Mr. KINNAIRD asked the Secretary ofState for
War how soon the officers who composed the garrison of
Lucknow will be gazetted to their brevet rank ; and how
soon the medals promised for the patient endurance
and bravery of that heroic band, as well as to the gallant
eaptcra of Delhi, will be issued ?
Gen. PEEL said that the officers who composed the
garrison of Lucknow were gazotted to their brevent rank
on the 24th March last, comprising the major and cap-
tains of the 32d Regiment. Since then the seven lieute-
nants had been promoted to companies. In answer to
the second question, he had to say that her Majesty had
approved of the medals, and that they bed been forwarded
to the President cf the Board of Control prior to their
distribution.

Mr. KINNAIRD inquired whether the Company's
officers would be included ?

Gen. PEEL said he had forwarded to her Majesty
every recommendation that had been received float the
Company.

THE WARRANTS OF 1854.
Lord A. V. TEMPEST asked Mr. Sidney Herbert
whether it was a fact that the commissioners appointed
to inquire into the operation of the warrants of 1854
have declined to receive verbal evidence ; and whether it
was the case that no minutes are male of the proceed-
ings of the commission, or the opinions of the individual
members cf that commission ; whether, should the above
be the case, he had any objections to state the reasons that
had influenced the commission to adopt such a course
Mr. S. HERBERT said he bad no objection to answer
the question. It was perfectly true that the comenissien
did not think it right to take oral evidence. Many mat
ters referred to were only matters of opinion, not of fact,
and they did not think it necessary to receive evidence
upon them. Another reason was that many of the ques..
tions affected not only the warrants of 1851, but freoa
interests which were rising up every day. Commissions,
as the noble lord knew perfectly well, differed very
materially from committees. No record was taken in
commissions as to differences cf opinion amongst the
members, but those members who dissented from the
report could put in a report of their own, as was done by
the right hon. gentlsmau the member for Coventry (Mr.
Ellice) on the subject of the purchase of commission?, and
in another in which ho (Mr. Herbert) presided. Oa both
those occasions objections were put in the way he had
mentioned. He believed the report from the commission
would be in the hands of the Secretary of State early
next week.

Lord V. TEMPEST inauired whether the course
adopted by this commission was the same as had been
taken by commissions in which the right hon. gentleman
had acted
Mr. HERBERT replied that it was exactly the same
in every respect.
Col. NORTH inquired whether the evidence the ccrn•

rhis tnetho does not require the extraction of roots, or any painful
operation, and will support and preserve teeth that are loose, and is
cuatanecd to restore articulation and mastication; and that Mr.
Roward's improvement may be within the reach of the most econo-
nical, he has fixed the charges at the lowest scale possible. De-
cayed teeth stepped and rendered sound and useful in mastica-

The essential 'object of this treat se is to point out the fearful con-
equences resulting from certain habits, irregularities, and excesses,
vhich hare produced more misery in Youth, degradation in Alex-
hnol, and premature decay at all stages of life, than, perhaps, any
other cisss of disease known to modern pathologists. Its perusal is

the tvialth..hlppiness, and Frivileges ,o which every human being is
enlitleo,

it is aboolutely necessary that all men should know that there are
p disciples of perscnal management which cannot be violated with-
oit grievous penalties, and when wisdom and regret sue •
c the heyday of inconsiderate self-indulge.iee, how those penalties
may lit mitigated, how the sting of their bitterness may be removed,
a a how the evil and its consequtnces may be ...voided, and, above all,

derangement to which the timely aid of science cannot apply a cure.
