Vision, this great evil should still flourish. But
such a thought should not induce England to aban-
don her noble efforts, it should rather stimulate her
to fresh exertions, and the writer of the present
article suggests three modes for checking the
traffic. The first is to compel Spain to close the
great slave market at Cuba, and fulfil the treaty by
which she was bound to do so. Secondly, to im-
prove the condition of the African at home, and to
impress on those African chiefs, who are misled by the
manoeuvres of the Cuban dealers, that the value of
their subjects to them at home, as cultivators of the
soil, would far exceed the trifle which they obtain
for them. "Let our merchants turn their atten-
tion to the natural wealth of Africa, and with the
increased knowledge of the country afforded us by
modern travellers, we may hope to teach our black
brethren how to make themselves independent."
The labours of Dr. Livingstone are a good begin-
ning for this scheme, but suppression of the
slave market at Cuba is undoubtedly the first step,
and one which should not be delayed. A Ge.vern-
inent which appears to have made treaties with the
intention of breaking them, which was glad to
escape the indignation of a great Power, and to
Vettre the large indemnity offered, by an apparent
concurrence, should be taught that England will
no longer be trifled with, in 9 ;!'

"Our advance on Lucknow from the East-ward" is
detailed by an Indian officer, and gives some in-
teresting details. The second Sikh campaign and
the Coorg war of 1834 -are also treated of iu
separate articles. The "Notes on Military Science"
are continued, and all information respecting
the united services is, as usual, found iu the editor's
portfolio and the General Intellig nee.

Colburrb's New Itlonthly.—" Artistic Travel," is
the attractive title of the opening paper, carrying
the reader, in imagination, from the refreshing
waters of the Thames to the canals of Venice, and
the heights of the Alps. It is founded on the nar-
rative* of two French wanderers, told in a light
andunimpressive:style. The paper will, nevertheless,
afford some entertainment to the reader. The
author of "Ashley" continues to trace the fortunes
of Lord and Lady Hartledon ; the present instal-
ment dimly points to some terrible secret overhang-
ing Lord Hartledon. The lovers of romance will
find much to gratify them in its mysterious
shadows, and the next part will probablydisclose the
'mystery. It is written in the author's usual plea-
- avant and natural manner, full of conversation and
Incident. " Readings in Current Literature, by
Sir Nathaniel, treats of Merivale's valuable and
laborious history of the Romans under the Empire.
A story from the Danish, translated by Mrs.
Hushby, that indefatigable student of Scandinavian
literature, is entitled " The Bankrupt." it is not
without its moral to those who devote themselves
to the acquisition of wealth, thinking that evary
door must open to a golden key. There are several
papers of travel, as is usual with this maeazine.
Among them we may mention "Afoot to Mexico,"
and "A Peep at the Far West." In the latter
article some information about the Mormons is
given, as the author joined a party who were on
their way to the great Salt Lake. "Hans Ernst
Mitterkang " is continued without much interest.
Mr. Hogg's recent life of Shelley is criticised in an
impartial manner, giving a good deal of informa-
tion about the poet's earlier career to those unac-
quainted with the work. Mr. E. P. Rowsell con-
tributes an essay on "Special Services for the
Working Classes," suggesting subjects for thought
and reflection. The idea and intention are evidently
good, but they are not clearly defined or carried
out. Among the remaining topics are " Barante's
Historical Studies," and the "Adventures of an
old Sailor," taken from the French.
