SEEDS.

Canary seed and trefoil meet a slow sale, at about pro
vious quotations. Linseed and rape seed move off slowly,
at barely stationary prices. All other descriptions are
devoid of animation.

Mr. Walter Savage Laralor has the following dedica-
tion in a new work with a quaint title, which he has
ju-t published :—" NV. S. Lander to L. Kossuth,
Pr sident of Hungary—At your gate I lay my fagot of
`Dry Sticks,' and go away. I offended you by
attempting to bring fortune thither, whom I never
solicited to favour me personally. My zeal was
inconsiderate, but, perhaps, it ought to have offended
less that lofty pride to which alone I was ever obsequioug.
Permit me to offer the only amends I can—permit me
to show my respect and reverence toward the man who
has worthi'y occupied a higher station than any one in
t ,ira country can attain. The eloquence of M►lton and
Demosthenes failed in the support of their cause—the
same cause and the same eloquence as yours. Supply
me with your English, and I may be able at last to
express my veneration (f your virtues.

MAGAZINES.>

Blackwood.—ln. " What will He do with it 1"
some remarkable events occur. The reader will
be delighted to find that Sophy and her grandfather
are reunited. By an adroit and skilful contrivance,
which outrivalled the mimic representations of the
stage on which he lied once triumphed, the comedian
performed his part, and rescued the imprisoned child
by night. We are left to suppose the joy of that
meeting. The climax of Waife's skill is displayed
when he meets Rugge face to face, and is unrecog-
nised by the latter. The subjoined remarks on the
fate of the man of genius are eminently fitted to
engage the attention 'on that often questioned but
still inexplicable subject.
" But how often does it happen to us, venerated
readere, not to recognise a man of genius, even when he
takes no particular pains to escape detection 1 A man
of genius may bo for ten years our next door neighbour
—be may dine in company with us twice a-week—his
face may be as familiar to our eyes se our arm chair—
his voice to our ears as the dick of our parlour clock
—yet we are never more astonished than when all of a
sudden, some bright day, it is discovered that our next
door neighbour is—a man of genius. Did you ever hear
tell of the life of a man of genius, but what there were
numerous witnesses who deposed to the fact, that until,
perfidious dissembler, he flared up and net the Thames
on fire, they hid never seen anything in him—an odd
creature, perhaps a good creature—probably a poor
creature ;—but a Man of Genins I Toey would as soon
have suspected him of being the Cham of Tartary 1 Nay,
capdid readers, are there not some of you who refuse to
the last to recognise the man of genius, till he has paid
his penny to Charon, and his passport to immortality has
been dilly examined by the custem-house offloers of
Styx 1 When one-half the worlclldrag forth that same
next door neighbour, place him on a pedestal, and have
him cried, '0 yez I 0 yez I Found a man of genius 1
Publto property—open to ieapection I' does not the
other half the world put on its spectacles, turn up its
nose, and cry, ' That a man of genius, indeed I Pelt
him I—pelt him I' Then of course there is a clatter,
what the vulgar call a shindy,' round the pedestal.
Squeezed by his believers, shied at by his scoffers, the
poor man gets horribly mauled about, and drops from
the perch in the midst of the row. Then they shovel
him over, clap a great stone on his relics, wipe their
foreheads, shake hands, compromise the dispute, the
one half the world admitting that though he was a genius
he was still an ordinary man ; the other half allowing,
that though he was an ordinary man, he was still a
genius. And so on to the next pedestal with its
stet,' and the next great stone with its ' Hie jacet.' "

Losely plays some dangerous games at this time,
which, after a brief glimmer of success, seem to
result in the darkness of failure. It is an amusing
episode of the handsome widow, Mrs. Haughton,
who is no match for that wily deceiver, who dodges
her footsteps. Lionel's indignation against the new
comer is natural ; it was not in his daring and
impulsive spirit to brook coming into contact with
such a man with impunity, and his horror was great
at finding his mother so taken in by a specious
flattery, and plausible appearances. Col. Morley's
appearance on the scene was a terrible shock to
Jasper; although he contrived after wards to recover
from the attack, at first he was mortally stunxed.
" The mere sight of the real fine gentleman made the
mock fine gentleman shrink and collapse." " The
Bells of Botreaux " is a legend well worthy of pe-
rusal. A few persons appear on the scene, whose
characters are strongly marked, and the light and
shade of whose dispositions are finely delineated.
One or two of the scenes are almost dramatic in
their powerful conception and vivid colouring. "At
the mill-damhead, leaning over a railing, were two
figures looking down into the little pool beneath,
the valley was all alight with moonbeams, the cas-
cades flashed, with; silvery brightness, and the
stare above had a fellow in the pool below.
The rooks cast a dark shadow on them,
and ever and anon behind them flitted a
stealthy shade ; before them all was bright and
clear." This brief passage explains the tale, the
old story of love and jealousy, which has been re-
produced in so many forms and fashions, but which
seems to renew its youth like the eagle, and to be
ever fresh and vigorous to run a new race, and
make or mar the fortunes of men. The interest is
wound up to a pitch of painful excitement during
the struggle between the rivals, and afterwards a
sense of impending evil hangs ou the mind. These
sensations are dispersed by the holy hour that in-
tervenes between the death stroke and d- ath.
"Let us part in peace" exclaims he, who in self-
defence had struck the blow that sent his enemy to
worlds beyond the reach of mortal foewn. The
desire was accorded, " and so closed the Christmas
day which had dawned so darkly." A pleasing
article is that on " Beranger," which refers to his
autobiography, recently published. It is said that
without any great pretensions to eloquence, it pre-
sents us not only with an admirable portrait of the
popular poet of France, but an extremely clear
and simple picture of the memories of his rank and
time." The writer concludes by observaig that
Beranger died amid such popular expressions of re-
gard as no poet has yet attained in this country,
and asks, "Is the fault with the people or the
poet ?" " The First Bengal European Fusiliers
in the Delhi Campaign," is au account taken on
the spot in spare moments, during the Delhi cam-
paign. As may be supposed, it is of great interest,
and brings before us a
picture of the awful scenes
that were enacted in the East. The exact details
of the strife and struggle, as they went on from day
to day reveal, with a vivid reality, how hard won
was the fight which resulted in the British
army walking as conquerors through the
streets of the city of the great Mogul.
"The Scottish Universities" will be found to have
boon treated with the attention the subject merits ;
and further, the spirit with which the treatise is
actuated is worthy of the magazine in which it has
a place. While allowing the necessity for alteration
and improvement, some of theproposed innovations
aro objeoted to, especially the proposal to institute
examinations " which would shut the door in the
face of men who have laboured with their hands,
and practised self-denial of the most austere kind,
ii order to obtain the means of joining a univer-
sity." It is argued that the freedom of entrance
peculiar to the Scottish Universities has been often
of essential service to many an aspiring mind that
has afterwards been the admiration of the world.
"Livingstone, the African missionary, was enabled
by such means to take that degree in medicine
which was the foundation of his success." The
German novel, " Debit and Credit," is criticised,
and it is said that whatever rank it holds in Ger-
many, it can only take a second place among Eng-
lish novels ' • but that Germany, which possesses so
many works of profound learning, is very inferior
in novels. A. preface, by Chevalier Bunsen, con-
tains some very strange opinions concerning some
English novelists.

as well as at home, in the New World as well as in
tit-, Old, Livingstone's name is already famans.
From the poems which are here met with, we select
the following verses :

MARIANNE.
A LITTLI ROSEBUD DAUGHTER.
BY W. CHARLES RENT, AUTHOR OF " ALITHEIA."
Sweet when on nay bosom leaning—
Trembling out *be twilight atar
Through thine eyes to trace the meaning
Of those bely lights afar—
Lights of heaven
To earth given,
Rolling, each, a Godwar(l car !
Sweeter when upon thy coming,
Radiant gleam thy baby wiles—
Royal trumpeting and drumming
But mean websome to thy smiles—
Joy so simple
In each dimple
That thy father's heart beguiles.
Sweetest when eve round us creeping,
While dreams lift thy soul above,
On thy mother's breast thoiert sleeping
Cradled in those arms of love—
Arms resembling
Neat-boughs, trembling
When the night-wind lulls the dove.
Rare as pearl-gleam to the diver,
Buddings in thy vermeil mouth :
Rarer than to honey-hiver,
Dew-bells dripping sugary dronth—
Thy gay laughter,
Rarest after
Rompings in the sunny south.
Dear, when first thy sweet eyes pondering,
Gazed and gazed in wondering awe,
Hither, thither lightly wandering
To whate'er those sweet eyes saw—
Baby histories,
Endless mysteries
In the wavering of a straw.
Dearer far thy lisping rattle,
Babbling, babbling like a bird :
Dearest when thine infant-prattle
Drops some scarce articulate word
Clipping often
Names that soften
Into quaintest sounds e'er heard.
Fair, thy little dimpling fingers
Dallying with thy bauble toys—
Tiny hands, to us the bringers
Of such wondrous worlds of joys :
Fair thy flustered
Tresses clustered
'Round calm brows no care alloys.
Fairer thy pure mind expanding,
As the water-rings enlarge
Fairest, thy white soul, no branding
Blot upon 't from marge to marge—
Soul with vision
Half Elysian,
Fresh come from her Maker's charge.
Sweetest, rarest, dearest, fairest,
Bright-eyed little maiden elf !
What, ah ! what with thee comparest,
What beyond thy fairy self ?
Pleasure, treasure
More in measure
Than to worldling power or pelf !
What, ah I what with thee coniparest ?
Toddling where the blowball rma—
Sweetest, rarest, dearest, fairest !
Laughing where the blowball ran—
Bless thy merry
Cheek of cherry,
0, my little Marianne !

Frase►'s lliagazine.—The opening article for the
new year is on an interesting subject, the life and
writings of Henry Fielding. The writer proposes
to fill up the deficiencies in Mr. Lawrence's work,
and to give some more accurate and authentic de-
tails than can be found in his memoirs. While,
therefore, the article is more useful to the inquirer,
it is scarcely as interesting to the general reader as
if it treated the subject in a mere literary style.
Very probably we shall find this tone adopted in
the second part, which is promised. We miss t'iia
month the clever story of the " Interpreter,"
which, as the readers of _Fraser are aware, was con-
cluded with the year. The author of " Meg of
Elibank" endeavours to fill its place by the com-
mencement of a story entitled " Lady Strathmore'a
Daughter." The beginning is somewhat elaborate,
but it promises to be interesting, and there are
some pleasing and life-like figures introduced. The
heroine is the daughter of the Countess of Strath-
more, who married her groom. "A Visit to the
Chateaux of Rubens and Teniers" relates the im-
pressions made by a visit to Antwerp, and a pil-
grimage from thence to "Steen, formerly the cha-
teau of Rubens, and Drytoren, that of . Toolers,
which lie to the left in passing from Mechlin to
Brussels," as they are described in the Guide
Books. A pleasant paper of " Tahle Talk on
Shakspeare" analyses some of the peculiarities
of " Love's Labour Lost." Woodpeckers and
their habits are described at length in one of
the Natural History papers that are usually met
with. A review of Dr. Watson's work on the
principles and practice of physic has some useful
suggestions on medical profession and practice. A
paper on " Northern Lights" passes in review a
band of Scottish notabilities, and offers them some
cordial encomiums and some sensible advice, by
which it is to be hoped they will profit. The writer
traces with a quiet humour the connection between
the inclemency of the Edinburgh winter and the
intolerance of its Calvinistic principles. Dr. Living-
stone's recent work, which has attracted so much
attention, receives a lengthened notice, and those
who are unable to procure the work itself may form
some idea of the labours and sufferings of the ener-
getic missionary from this summary of his adven-
tures. "A Mad World, my Masters !" is the title
of an artiele on sanitary reform, a reform, like all
others, which seems to begin and end in talking
about it. The writer, after censuring with justice
the various classes of the community who might
exert their influence in its favour, and do not, says
that all systems of national education and moral ad-
vancement among the lower classes will be ineffi-
cacious until they are provided with the means of
ventilation and cleanliness. "Prevention
is better than cure, and the simple and one
method of prevention is to give the work-
ing man his rights—water, air, light."
Allowing for the enthusiasm of a raformer, there is
much truth in this assertion, and it would be well
if legislators and philanthropists were to act ac-
cordingly.

The gnited Service.—The United Service Maga-
zine has articles on many subjects of interest. The
topics it selects, the authority and experience with
which they are generally written, and the great
importance which is attached to the efficiency of
our military and naval services in the present day,
elevate it to a high rank among serials, and entitles
it to the thoughtful consideration of the legislator
and the reformer. Of course private feeling or in-
correct judgments will occasionally appear, but on
the whole it is singularly moderate and free from
prejudice ; ready to admit the necessity of reforms
and improvements, and boldly attacking the sys-
tems of patronage and influence, but withstanding
the rash plans of innovators, who think alteration
must be improvement, and carefully considering
how new theories will work in practice. The open-
ing paperis on the question, *low may the Army be
made more Popular and Recruiting more Efficient?"
The writer answers this by advocating a greater
increase of comforts for the soldier in his daily life,
some athletic exercises to be permitted as amuse-
ment, some improvements in his clothing, and some
means of advance in life, solely from steady conduct.
If any one, he says, will take the trouble to dress
himself in an English soldier's uniform, in heavy
marching order, he will solve the problem why we
are worse marchers than the people of any other
country ; and though some may deem the style and
appearance of the uniform of little importance,
" those who know the feelings of solders and the
effect of a smart, well-made dress upon them, will
think otherwise."

Dublin.—The first subject met with in this num-
ber is the commencement of a new tale by Harry
Lorrequer,
, entitled "Gerald Fitzgerald, the Che-
valier." It promises well, and many readers will
doubtless rejoice to meet again a favourite author.
"The Partners," by Shirley Brooks, is continued,
in three chapters. The story becomes more deve-
loped, and some curious revelations are made.
Charles Aubrey finds himself involved in mystery,
while his own secret is discovered, and Wenlock
contrives to get himself into a lunatic asylum, from
whence egress is another question. There will
in all probability bs some striking scenes
when the returned wanderer demands the restitu-
tion of his rights. An interesting article called
The Earls of Kildare," contains some remarks
on a work printed for private circulation by "the
accomplished descendant of the Fitzgeralds, the
Marquis of Kildare. After glancing at some of the
most memorable or romantic details mentioned, the
writer observes that few will rise from the perusal
of the book without coinciding in the remark that
the family of the Geraldines is so ancient that it
seems to have no beginning, and so illustrious that
it ought to have no 'end." " Buckle's History of
Civilisation" calls forth some observations, which
are made in a fair spirit, free from prejudice or
flattery--it is said that the work is too elaborate,
and that the author must beware lest he exhaust
his strength too early in the undertaking. After
enumerating the several points of importance, the
critic explains, " It is not without a feeling of en-
thusiasm that we contemplate this beginning of a
national history of England. This leviathan of
books appals us already. Like its namesake it is to
be built up in compartments, and joined together.
Will the same engineer, who has built the com-
partments, rise to join them together, and launch
his leviathan history in one broadside into the
river of Time ?" Due praise is awarded to Mr.
Atherstoned recant remarkable work, " The
Handwriting on the Wall;" it is truly styled "not
a romance, but a poem in prose." Those who
have perused the book will agree with what is here
said, 46 we thank him for having given new life to
characters and events so interesting, and for hav-
ing made us as familiar with the captive Jews and
their Babylonian masters, as if we had even known
them." " Our Foreign Courier" presents its quota of
desirable information. It is probable that the paper
devoted to " Livingstone's Missionary Travels will
be perused with interest and attention. It is grati-
fying to find praise rendered to the living, instead
of all acknowledgment being reserved for the time
when the ear of the worker is closed to the sound,
and his hand is for ever stayed from his labours.
It is here said that in a favourable estimate of this
great man tho.whole civilised world agrees. Abroad

"One thing more remains to be done ; it is to open
up by means of service in the ranks, something far
batter than the well-conducted soldier has now to look
forward to. If we want to extend the field for recruiting,
and to give a higher character and tone to the army-
-this is the means, above all others, by which we may
hope to accomplish it. What tilers is to prevent our acting
upon it, but that exercise of patronage which resists
the public good at every turn, it is hard to tell I How
many of those appointments, even of those immediately
conneoted with the army, and requiring above anything
else, a knowledge of military details for the efficient
discharge of the duties connected with them are filled by
civilians, which even by simple right, putting policy;out
of the question, ought to belong to the noncom-
missioned officer or soldier who has served well
and faithfully ; and who has the requisite qualifi-
cation. There are some hundreds of these Go-
vernment appointments, which could not be more
suitably bestowed than in this manner ; and which, if
thus distributed, would give a healthy impetus to good
conduct and education, about which we prate so much,
' and, to all practical purposes, do so little in the army.
"The recruit who joins, if he has ever heard of the
good conduct warrant, can but slowly understand the
intricacies of its clauses. He comprehends no difference
between the defaulter's book and another. If the
matter is explained to him, it is soon made clear that as
much depends on his commanding officer as upon his
own efforts, to get good conduct piy and badges. If
the latter is strict and severe, the task is, perhaps,
hopeless ; if he is the reverse, it is, perhaps, too easy,
and he laughs in his decorated sleeve, at the honours
heaped upon him, which he knows have not been fairly
earned. Give the:same man comforts in his barracks, such
as have been faintly described, something which lifts him
in his estimation above others in civil life ; and about
which there is no sham or imposition. Let him hear,
besides, that Jack Steele, who enlisted from his
own
town so many years before, is now by his good conduct
holding a Government employment, of sixty
,
a hundred pounds per annum—or it may
be 1 eighty, or
good deal
more ; let him see and hear all this, and can it be that
the soldier will not be a better man ? and that better
men will not come from civil life and join the army !
Until we do something of this kind is it reasonable to
expect that such men as the Tinted thunders at, will
