THE MAGAZINES.

BLACKWOOD.--‘6-Brownlows" is continued, and
ALlazt we come.in_ the moing4ous
Brownlow's dread of years is realised. The state
of suspense in which he lives is very well depicted,
and it presents a useful warning to those who do
not act in a straightforward manner. "At the
Alps Again" continues the series of interesting ad-
ventures in that attractive land. We meet with
an admirable article on " Conversation," which
will well repay perusal. Conversation has been
called one of the lost arts, and in some respects the
assertion is true, for people are nowadays too busy
to perfect their accomplishments. Besides this, as
here correctly stated, every one nowadays reads so
much that it is quite impossible to give so much
time to talking as their fathers and forefathers did.
Respecting the alleged incapacity of literary men
in this respect, it is here said that, while some
authors justify the denription given of Gold-
smith—

"Who wrote like an angel, and talked like Poor Poll,"
on the other hand, too much is expected, and men
of genius and talent do not always act like a real
parrot. An authoress called the opposite sex " these
poor, tongued-tied creatures, the men ;" and ac-
cordingly we meet with the admission that females
can create conversation. One great flaw in con-
versation exists when people cannot listen, which
spoils the general effect. " Linda Tressel" is pro-
ceeded with in a second part, and promises to be
very exciting as it continues. Linda's aunt is a
specimen of one of the worst of mischief-makers—a
person who acts from duty, and interferes with the
rights and privileges of others in the most unwar-
rantable style. " Reynolds and the Portrait
Painters of the Last Century" is an artistic paper,
possessing interesting information and comment ;
and most true is the concluding criticism that the
art of portrait painting has been in decline since the
days of Reynolds, and that the portraits of this
century compare unfavourably with those of the fast.
" Cornelius O'Dowd" is as happy as ever in his
comprehensive discussions of things of moment at
this juncture. " Women in the Middle Ages" is
an article on the question that has been very often
referred to of late; but this writer takes a new view
of the subject, by comparing the women of an
earlier period with those of the, p:esent fast and
pretentious ones, and not to the compliment or
credit of the latter. Modern Reformers advise
women to strike out a new line from that wherein
they formerly presided ; and of this it is said, " We
beltevethat if she follows this course she-will fail,
but that if she remain true to herself her reign may
last." " The Impending Crisis in America" is an
excellent paper, that takes a very correct view of the
state of things in the New World.
FRASER.—" Voltaire as a Theologian, Moralist,
and Metaphysician," is the title of the first paper,
whose character and scope may be partly guessed
from it. It is written with care and some degree
of partiality, for the writer evidently inclines to the
Voltairean school of thought ; and in these days,
when 'Voltaire, like his contemporaries, is less read
than formerly, it is not uninstructive to the general
reader to meet with a summary of his objects and
arguments. His attacks upon Christianity, which
he regarded as the author of all the intolerance and
ferocity in the world, never pausing to consider
the lengths to which he had himself seen a nation
rush without it, form the staple of the paper.
" Kaye's Lives of Indian Officers" form the subject
of an interesting and well-written critical paper.
"The Birds of Norfolk" is an essay for the orni-
thologist as well as for the sportsman. " Rambles,"
by Patricius Walker, are pleasantly told ; and the
story of " The Marstons" is always worth reading.
As for the two political articles at the conclusion
—" The New Rebellion in America," and " The
Conservative Transformation,"—they ably express
the violent, predetermined hostility of a certain class
of politicians to everything their opponents think,
do, or say. Happily alike for the peace of England
and the future of America the common sense and
impartial judgment of both nations has pronounced
very differently on matters respecting which it is
easy to rant and to dogmatise, but neither desirable
nor reasonable to do so if good government and in-
ternal prosperity be the objects desired.
COLBURN'S UNITED SERVICE MAGAZINE.--The
"United Service" for November is well stored with
matter, interesting for Abyssinian news, and the
prospects of our expedition to that mysterious
country. Like other things of which we are igno-
rant the professed guides who presume to teach what
nobody knows increase with the proximity to the
time of action. The wonder is how people who dis-
tinguish between light and darkness will persist in
believing such blind guides. But so it has been,
and so it promises to be to the last. The first
article in this number is " Massowah and the Red

Sea," by Lieut. C. R. Low, a gentleman who has
seen some service on the south-eastern coast of
Africa, and especially in the Red Sea. lie says
that the track through the Red Sea from Aden to
Massowah is comparatively free from danger. From
the Straits of Babelmandeh to Suez, the Red Sea in
a direct line measures about 1,230 miles in length,
the greatest breadth is 192 miles, and at its nar-
rowest part, near Ras Mohammed, where the pe-
ninsula of Mount Sinai splits it into two, the Red
Sea measures only 72 miles across. " This inland
sea derives its name from the fact that large por-
tions of it as well as the Arabian Sea are covered
with patches, froma few yards to some miles square,
of a blood red colour, derived from a species of ani-
malculse, particulary abundant in the spring
months, and which dye the upper waters with the
most intensely blood-red hue that can be conceived.
There is nothing else about the sNt that is red. In
the harbour of Tor, in the vicinity of Mount Sinai,
was observed by a traveller in December, 1823, the
striking phenomenon of the whole bay forming the

counts from Bombay, but the Bay of Amphilla,
some 250 miles nearer Aden, which, from more re-
liable accounts, is better in all respects bolt for
spacl for anchorage and for iuiau 1 facilities for the
army. D.!bra Tabor, or Gullat, near Maglal!a,
where the captives are, is considered tha most
healthy part of the country, although mountainous,
so that when our troops get fairly there the question
will be soon settled. There are several other articles
well worthy of perusal.
lIAVIA.—Three chapters of "Dea-1 Sea Fruit,"
by the editres3, and the same number of '' Diana
Gay," by the author of " Bella Donna," advance
both stories considerably. There is besides a tale
complete in the number—a rare thing nowadays—
bearing the mysteriously attractive title of "
Aunt's Pearl Ring." Then we have " A Fortnight
in Corsica," by Professor Ansted. " Bric-a-Brac
Hunting in the Bazaars of Stamboul and Madrid,"
by Major Hall, and the third instalment of the
" London Parks," by Walter Thornbury, are full of
lively anecdotes. Poems and illustrations
.abound
throughout the number.
MACMILLAN.—Very welcome is this number of
" Macmillan," with a double attraction on its title-
page. The author of " Friends in Council" inau-
gurates a new and delightful work, in which our
old friends Milverton;and Ellesmere re-appear, and
the former begins to unfold the story of
" Realm*" whose object we shall be uhle_tQap-..
preeiAte fuirgi on. lhe olfier sp-e-ein attraction
in the current number of " Macmillan" is the first
instalment of a new romance by the authoress of
" The Heir of Redclyffe," which promises us rich
and varied interest. The scene is laid in part at the
gay French Court of the sixteenth century, in
part in a quiet English home. The actors already
introduced promise to engage our attention, alike
from the animation of the narrative and the lifelike
delineations of character for which the author of

" The Heir of Redelyffe" is famous. The first
pirt of " Dulwich College, the Story of a Foun-
dation," is also a pleasant subject, pleasantly dis-
cussed. It shows us the College as it was in the
time and under the supervision of its founder,
Alleyn, of whom many agreeable recollections are
preserved. " English in Schools," a lecture by
Professor Seely, objects to the early study of the
Latin grammar, and strongly recommends greater
attention being paid to our national literature. Mr.
Hughes, M.P., contributes a lively account of his
experiences at the French Exhibition, and brings
to a conclusion an unusually good number.
TEMPLE BAR.—" Stephen Lawrence, Yeoman,"
is continued in a long and interesting instal-
ment, which shows up many phases of cha-
racter in a very effective manner. Kate and
Dora are very ably depicted, and before long
we shall doubtless find each come to grief in
her separate style. The old farm servant,
" Barbara," is a positive relief after the fashionable
follies and cold-heArted coquetry of the ladies of
the tale. " Epigrams" furnish some amusement,
and " Gnp" is at last concluded, though even this
long gossip has not exhausted the theme. " Tapos,
the Notary of Agostoli," is proceeded with in some
exciting chapters. " A Lost Home" also presents
the reader with a most elaborate instalment, replete
with marvel and mystery, and full of adventure and
excitement. " The Knight of Innishowen" is a
humorous sketch, done with spirit and vigour.

" The Proposed Journey to the North Pole" is a
paper on the daring project of M. Lambert, that
encourages these expeditions, notwithstanding the
danger and difficulty. If these regions were
known, it is said, it might be easy to answer those
who ask the use of these enterprises. An eloquent
passage is quoted from Captain Maury about these
researches, which have led many a noble champion
of; human progress into torrid and frigil zones,
and it is declarod that " noble daring has made
Arctic ice and snow-clad seas classic ground, and
seafaring men have looked with deeper and deeper
longings towards the mystic miles of the Polar
regions."
LONDON SOCIETY.—" Playing for High Stakes"
is continued, aul the picture of Blanche's first mar-
ried home is not an attractive one, but worse than
care, toil, and want of money was the frequent
pressure of Mrs. Sutton. She was a regular kill-
joy of the worst description. "The Two Brides" is
a pleasing picture that represents a striking con-
trast. " The Piccadilly Papers" contain some use-
ful hints most applicable at this season of the year.
" How I fell into the Clutches of King Theodore"
is an account of adventures that is sure to attract
especial notice at *sent. To Abyssinia and
back is, as the narrator observes, by no means
very easy of accomplishment just now. " Without
Reserve" is a pleasing tale. " The Mail Guard's
Story" iecords some exciting scenes of travel
and capture of suspicious characters. " The
Belles of other Days" show us a quartette of
Beauties fro a South Kensington, with some
details thereof. "An Autumn in Russia" is a
pleasing illustration, and " Thumb-nail Sketches"
in the London streets are well done, and exhibit
the different stilts of people who throng our busy
thoroughfares. " The Private Life of a Govern-
ment Office " contains some curious anecdotes.
" Gossip from Egypt ' and " True Blue" complete
the contents of this interesting number.
TILE MONTII.—A very able and interesting paper
on " The Intellectual Training of Ladies," may be
read with profit by all who have charge of the edu-
cation of girls. The writer very justly observes
that much of the dislike commonly felt to learned
ladies arises from the trifling manner in which girls
are brought up, which has forced a few women who
have been really intelligent, active-minded, and
studious, to educate themselves in their own way,
and to feel that they were braving society in so
doing. Mgr. Dupanloup's recent publications on
this subject are largely quoted, and fully confirm
the writer's sensible and practical views. " English
Premiers," No. XIV., brings us down to Canning
and
.Wellington, the history of whose Premier-
ships were most especially important to Catholics.
" Wild Sport in the Jungle," " Early days of
Lamennais," and " Guiseppe, a Corsican story,"
are among the contents.
THE INTELLECTUAL OBSERVER.--The November
number contains articles on " The Action of Light,"
on " Standards of Weights, Measures, and Coin-
age," as well as several papers ou different branches
of natural history.
THE ENGLISHWOMAN'S MAGAZINE this month is
more than ordinarily attractive. Its patterns are
novel and elegant, and its illustrations and letter-
press are as usual unexceptionable.
LE FOLLET, the oldest and most esteemed ladies'
magazine, is this month a perfect portfolio of the
newest Parisian fashions.
HANOVER SQUARE is a new musical magazine, just
commenced, and its projectors have shown they
intend to present their patrons with none but music
of the highest class, by placing- at its head one of
the most accomplished musicians of the day, viz.,
Mr. Lindsay Sloper. The magazine is devoted
entirely to music, and opens most appropriately with
an elegant composition by the great maestro Jults
Benedict, entitled " Sorrows and Joys," which will
be warmly welcomed by every true musician, as it
bears most strongly the imprint of the master hand
from beginning to end. The magazine also contains
two pretty ballads by Arthur Sullivan and Henry
Smart, in addition to a very graceful morceau de
salon by Sidney Smith. The initial number of the
new publication is decidedly an excellent one, and
from the brilliant promises held out for the future,
and while the name of its talented editor is of itself
quite sufficient guarantee for a faithful perform-
ance, we augur a great and brilliant success for the
new candidate for public favour.

Arrived in Paris,

The Indc'pcndance Beige vouches for the receipt of. a
private despatch which affirms that Garibaldi had yi,.ldel
to the pressure of the Government, and ha' promised to
Ical back his forces to Correse on Sunday. It seems that
while he was executing this movement the Papal forces
came upon him. The Indjpendance states that this infor-
mation is derived from trustworthy sources, and the new
of Garibaldi's intention to withdraw was to hand before
the telegram announcing his defeat. There seems to be
nothing in the telegrams to contradict this statement.
The conflict was a bloody one. The 1.- of the
Papal troops are variously set down at 6,00(; . 12,0(0.
The truth probably lies between the two. The Gad-
bald:ans lost one-fourth of their number. The fugitives
were disarmed as they fled across the Pontifical frontiers
into Italy.
The Liberte says Garibaldi was hemmed in in a triangle
de fer. In pursuing the route from Rome to Terni be hat
the French behind him, the Italians on one side,
and the Pontificals on the other. The French and
the Papal troops meditated a combined attack
on Monte Rotondo on Monday. According to the
Etendard, the Garibaldians were on their way to take
Tivoli when they encountered the Papalini. The carnage
was horrible. Three hundred railway waggons sent ',lft
from the Italian frontiers were insufficient to carry off the
wounded. It is not known whether the Frenolt tepops
took part in the engagement. The Etendard ine!..ibes to
believe that they did, for the following inr,tplicable
reasons :—The great success is out of proportion to the
numerical weakness of the Papal troops ! Further, the
great numbers of the wounded are evidence, of the presence

matters. The Liberte considers it remarkable that Gari-

none, had undertaken to retire at the same time as his
chief to the rear of the Italian army. It appears that he
has succeeded in reaching Naples with the principal mem.
bers of his staff. They took no part in the engagement on
the 3rd.

A correspondent of the Times, writing from Rome, says
the rural population of Italy has everywhere been rather
against than with the Garibaldiaas. If the townspeople
were in earnest they did not shew it. In such underhand
work as the springing of a mine under a barrack or the
throwing of a bomb from a roof they are at home, but for
the bard fighting that is shewn by Spaniards in such cases,
for the organisation of plans and for energy in executing
them, they have no head and no heart. It may be worth
while to spend life because Italy wishes to have the city
for a capital, but not one brave man's blood should be shed
simply for the sake of freeing the Pope's subjects.
FRANCE AND ITALY.
It appears that the ultimatum to Italy announced by
the Prase was not actually despatched ; but there is
every reason to believe that it was prepared. The anti.
Italian party in the councils of the Emperor had so far
prevailed. The statement put forward in the Pressc was
published as a feeler, and the quasi denial in the Con-
stitutionnet was made to mask the situation. The ultima-
tum was ready, and every preparation was made to support
it by military movements against Genoa, Leghorn, and
Naples. It is agreed that the mission of General La
Marmora was a failure. The Emperor insisted that the
Italians must withdraw their claim for a joint occupa.

tion, must give up the demand that the French should
retire from the Pontifical soil at the same timeits them-
selves, and that the only way to make satisfaction for
violating the September Convention would be to
drive out the Garibaldians and follow them out.
The 2'imet Paris correspondent says the com-
mander of the French expedition had instructions that
any attempt on the part of the Italian army to assist
the volunteers must be resisted by the French army. The
defeat of Garibaldi removes some of the difficulties in the
way of an arrangement ; but M. Moustier's note has
produced a serious effect on the subjects of Victor
Emmanuel. The imprisonment of the national hero is
calculated to intensify it. The excitement in all the largo
towns of the peninsula is said to be increasing. The state
of the country is such as to bring to mind France On tha
eve of the Revolution.

The Paris correspondent of the Indepenclance reports a
rumour that M. de Moustier is about to give up the foreign
portfolio. The retirement of De la Valette is no longer
considered probable. General Castelnau was spoken of as
his successor. His retention of office will be regarded as
a favourable omen.
La Marmora has not left Paris. He is to have an
audience of the Emperor to-day. The official prints re-
mark that the defeat of the Garibaldians gives his mission
renewed importance.
The Times Florence correspondent states that Victor
Emmanuel is said to have bad tears in his eyes when he
signed the proclamation, which he well knew must give
a severe blow to his already impaired popularity, and to

have since done his utmost, by such means as were open
to him, to mitigate its effect by encouraging hints as to
the future. It is well known that there has lately
been much private communication between the King
and the Emperor Napoleon, and we are justified in
believing that the former has at least intimated assurances
as to the future, which, could they be made publicly
known, would go far to soothe present irritation. Per-
sonally the Emperor is well known to be no friend of
the temporal power, although the weightest considers`
tions have compelled him to become its protector.

AMERICA.
The elections in eleven States of the American Union
took place on Tuesday. The cable will probably announce
the results immediately. In every one except Maryland
the Republicans had a majority in ISCG, so that every
Democrat elected, as probably some would be, for any of
the other ten States will be a Democratic victory. It
Appears that in Massachusetts the Democrats have made
common cause with the opponents of the prohibitory
liquor law. In New York, the liquor interest, and those
who are favourable to the legalising again of the sale of
liquor on Sundays, have espoused the Democratic side.
The leaders in the Southern States are organising to
resist the Congressional scheme of reconstruction. They
hope to postpone its adoption until the reaction in the
North has progressed far enough to enable them to make
better terms. Fears are expressed that throughout the
Southern States there will be great distress among the
negroes this winter. Thousands are completely destitute,
and will have to depend entirely on charitable assistance
from the North.
The people of the New Dominion are desirous of a
renewal of reciprocity with the United States. This
feeling is reciprocated in New England. Both nations
have suffered severely by the abrogation of the treaty. It
is said that one of the earliest measures to be brought
before the Parliament of the New Dominion will be a bill
to renew, if possible, the Reciprocity Treaty.

Some workmen's riots have occurred in the Faubourg
at. Martin, in Paris. They are attributed partly to tht
rise in the price of bread, and partly to the aggravation
caused by the octroi duties, in consequence of which some
of the factories have hail to be closed. A good deal of
ill-feeling is entertained against M. llaussmann in con-
sequence of the disputes in reference to those obnoxious
duties. Several arrests were made, and the crowd dis-
persed.

The Prussian Minister, Baron de Werther, is to be re-.
cAlled from Vienna. lie will be succeeded by M. de
Thiele. Baron Werther is expected to assume the
Ministry of Foreign Affairs. Count Bismarck will simply
exercise the functions of Chancellor of the New Con-
federation.
The clerical party in Vienna are unscrupulous in tne
use of every effort to revive the Concordat, They are by
no means likely to succeed.

The Inclependance Beige says that England and Austria
have refused to join Prus:?ia, France, Italy, and
Russia in the identical note to the Porte with refe-
rence to Crete. The latter Powers have signified the
withdrawal of their moral support, "leaving to the
Sultan the full responsibility of its acts and of all the com.
plications likely to arise therefrom." England and Austria
simply recommend the Turkish Government to make a full
satisfaction of the reasonable demands of its Okristim
