THE LONDON YACHT CLUB.--A ball was given
last night by this club in Willis's Rooms, St. James's,
which, as usual with the entertainments of this club, was
very numerously attended. The company began to arrivo
shortly after nine o'clock, and before midnight the largo
ball-room, with which every one is so well acquainted, was
thronged. Tho commodore, vice-commodore, and other
officers of the club were most assiduous in their attention
to their numerous visitors, and, both in respect to the de-
corations of the room and the excellence of the supper, the
entertainment was all that could be desired. Coote and

Tinney's band was present, and in saying this it is need-
less to add that those who devoted themselves to dancing
were satisfied to their heart's content.

NEW POLITICAL WEEKLY MAGAZINE.

The St. Stephen's. No. I. Richard Bentley.

So excellent is the idea of this new periodical that
our only regret now is that it has not long before now
been in existence. In other words, we should be de-
lighted to know that wo had now ranged upon our
bookshelves, within easy reach for reference at
any time we pleased, a long array of volumes, re-
cording thus, week by week, month by month,
year by year, the annals of our political history
exactly after this fashion, just as those annals aro
jotted down, hot and hot, sitting after sitting,
session after session, Parliament after Parlia-
ment. Its second title explains its character with
the utmost possible distinctness—The St. Stephen's,
being "A Weekly Chronicle of Politics and a full and
accurate Report of Proceedings in Parliament."
There is an indication, by the way, in regard to it,
if not in th• terms of the Prospectus, at any rate in
those of Subscription, that it will be sessional in its
appearance. It is of the compactest size—being of
a handsome octavo. It is issued, each weekly num-
ber, at s shilling. It extends to about a hundred and
fifty pages, including among them twenty pages of
a very acceptable Appendix—this Appendix includ-
ing within it the Roll of the Lords Temporal and
upon the tl;.e la-si Page of this, the iniCaPtiiiiitei-ef
the publication, a list of The Cabinet. A river
view of the new Palace at Westminster is the appro-
priate device upon the cover of The St. Stephen's•
Heartily we wish it success, for it deserves it. It
is the result of a capital idea admirably well carried
out. It cannot possibly prove otherwise than most
acceptable to every Peer and every member of the
House of Commons, to every earnest politician, and
—we can certainly speak for ourselves-4o every
energetic journalist.

Heartsease : A Bouquet of Love Lyrics. Pp. 12$•

T. C. Davidson.

On the eve of Valentine's Day let us commend
to notice this really charming little bijou of exotic
verse, culled from the Poets of all Ages and of
all Countries. The collector, whoever he or she
may be, is as the honey-bee that has been
gathering honey all the day (and night, too) from
many an opened as well as opening flower, with a
result so aromatic and delectable of its kind, that
those who taste of it will certainlybe enabled to
prove each shining hour by experiencing thereby all`
therefrom a genuine sense of enjoyment. The
saccharine sweetness of it is—perhaps, if indulge'
in to excess a little cloying—but, if dipped into here
andithere with moderation, delicious and mellifluous.
It is the very souvenir for a votary of St. Valentine•
