THE MAGAZINES•

Blackwood.—"What Will He Do With It" is
chiefly retrospective in this part. For the sake of
impressing an important truth forcibly upon the
mind of Lionel, Colonel Morley goes back far into
the past, and reveals many strange things to his
astonished young friend. Lionel is greatly inte-
rested in the sad narrative brought before his
notice, and fancies be recognises an old friend in
the unfortunate hero of the story ; in fact, no
other than the singularly gifted and strangely
situated old man whom he encountered years be-
fore in the quiet village as Gentleman Waife. The
dark mystery which hung over the forlorn wan-
derer, dimming his path, even when a transient
gleam seemed to enliven it, as a heavy cloud ob-
scures the fairest landscape, is partially accounted
for in the events here recorded. The most in e-
resting passage met with is that which ehroreeles
the success of the aspiring and some time despair-
ing George Vipont Morley. Triumphing over
physical defects and mental disquietude, he at last
achieved his destiny, than which a nobler cannot
devolve upon man, of conveying to suffering sin-
ners the glad tidings of pardon and peace, and
pointing to his fellow-immortals the way to a bet-
tor and enduring city. Darrell, usually so ab-
stracted and careworn, seemed to rouse himself to
.regard with interest the success of this enthusiast,
and even to feel some excitement for his welfare.
He appreciated the admirable manner in whic'i he
lead been taught. He did not know the master
mind that had directed the high intelligence and
producA the result lie admired. " I see," he ex-
claimed to George, " that you are one of the few
who deem that the Divine Word should not be un-
worthily uttered, all that enforce, dignify, adorn,
make the becoming studies of him, who strives by
eloquence to people Heaven." This will doubtless be
seen hereafter to have been an important instalment.
"The Defeat of the Faetions" is an ably written
article, and attracts attention from its referr ieg to
the one important topic, of the present d ay. The
writer states that the "Factions have held their
field-day at the expense of our Indian empire and
the British constitution, and were thoroughly
beaten and humiliated ; they stand self-condemned
at the bar of the country." In a powerful manner
he relates the chief events of the momentous
struggle, explaining the manoeuvres, exposing the
fallacies, and demonstrating the inconsistencies of
the opposition. It is not often that such
oppOrtunity is given to a commentator on politics
of recording so signal a success for his friends, or
so direful a defeat for .his foes, and the reader will
find that the golden opportunity leis nob been lost.
The remarks on Lord Elenburough render justice
to that distinguished man, whom the sequel of
events has proved so correct in his judgment. It
is observed that oratory has seldom producad any-
thing equal to his speech on the question.
" Parliament never witnessed anything morally grander
than the position and bearing of the noble lord, as, having
thrown down office that he might speak untrammelled, he
stood there pleading with earnest and flashing eloquence
the cause alike of humanity and policy in our vast Indian
realms, He did not stoop to the trivialities and person-
alities of debate. He brushed, aside the petty considera-
tions of red-tape and routine. He boldly defended his
policy out and nut. Ho justified both the Despatch and
its publication."
Some time is devoted to the consideration of the
Smith episode, which is truly styled the most ex-
traordinary that the House of Commons has wit-
nessed. "The history of the suppressed letters"
will for ever figure among the causes celebres of the
British Parliament." The last night of the debate
is thus described—

" The House of Commons was crowded—crammed as
perhaps it never was before. There had been a tremendous
" whip" on both sides, and, summone I by electric wire,
members had hurried thither from all parts of the Conti-
nent, The benches could not accommodate the member',
and numbers stood on the crowded floor. Around and
above, every gallery was filled with distinguished on
lookers. Crowds were outside in the Palace-yard ; and
once, but once only, as the members assembled, the crowd
was heard cheering, and in walked the Chancellor of the
Exchequer. The Ministerial benches were intensely ex-
cited, but radiant; the Opposition anxious, and unmis-
takeably nou-plussed. They knew they were beaten.
Their case had melted away—their orators, too, were ex•
hausted, all but Palmerston ; while not a third of the de-
bating power of the Ministerialists had been called into
play—the "Old Guard" had still to make its terrible
onset—and Bulwer, Gladstone, Walpole, Kelly, and Dis-
raeli, roused to their highest efforts by the occasion, would
sweep everything before them, and make the country as
well as the house ring with their lofty and telling oratory."
_ _

" The mutiny became general. Mr. Duncombe said "-be
had intended to vote for the motion, and bad not disguised
his opinion ; but as the case stood, if Mr. Cardwell perse-
vered in bis motion, he would put on his hat and wish
him `good night,' leaving him to the tender mercies of
honourable gentlemen opposite !" At length, after much
consultation hold by Mr. Cardwell with Lard John Rus-
sell, Sir C. Wood, and Lord Palmerston, the latter, as
leader of the routed faction, rose (confused, and with the
worst grace he ever showed in his life), and joined in the
appeal that Mr. Cardwell should withdraw his motion.
Ur. Cardwell, of course, assented ; and then came the ca-
pitulation. The motion could not be withdrawn without
the permission of the house, and the Minist nialist leader
was appealed to. The hour of victory had come. Like a
consummate general, Disraeli, to appearance as impassive
as marble, had watched every feint and move of his
troubled antagonists ; and now, calm and concentrated
amidst his unparalleled triumph, he rose amid deafening
cheers. With a magnanimity which was true wisdom,
and with admirable taste, he said that if he were only to
consult party interests, he should prefer to go on with the
debate, and was quite ready to divide the house on the
!notion; but that there were higher interests than those of
party, and that to those higher interests he should bow,
by giving the Opposition the permission they desired. Mr.
Cardwell then, amidst tremendous cheering from the Mini-
sterialists, moved that the vote of censure be withdrawn
"May Day" is a most amusing little sketch, which
relates the misadventures of au old gentleman who,
on returning from India, endeavoured to keep
a time-honoured but most inconvenient custom,
and—

" Waked, as the custom was, befcre the day,
To pay the observance due to sprightly May."
His diary is most ludicrous, and may well serve to
pass away au idle hour agreeably by itn perusal.
"Religious Memoirs" is the subject of a paper
that contains some very judicious remarks on the
subject of biographies, and expresses opinions which
it would be satisfactory to find more generally dif-
fused, concerning the practice of mixing up religious
writing with the simple observances of daily life,
and rendering ridiculous, by the inconsistency, the
very people they profess to honour.

Dublin.—" Gerald Fitzgerald" is the first of
the contents; the story is not so interesting in this
part ; it does not make much progress, relating
chiefly to a quarrel between Gerald and Marietca.
" Fronde's History of England" forms the subject
of a most able article, it is written iu an impartial
manner, and criticises in a fair spirit. Mr. Fronde's
style is described " as an lEolian lyro, which is
loud or low, long or short in its utterance, as it is
swept by the varying wind," and it is observed that
the work in question is " a noble monument of
the English Church and State." " The Times and
the Times" is a short plper which treats of sonic
social questions, and attaches great importance to
a " free press," which is called the viceroy of a
. " free people." It is truly said that " the isola-
tion of England has been complained of by foreign
. writers, let it be rememb,2red that it is the isolation
of the freeman from the bondage of the slave."
Many readers will doubtless b.: pleased to peruse
the article on " Richard Savage," which is well
worthy of attention. It is true that the theme is
'painful, and the interest a mournful one, that at-
taches itself to the subject of these remarks. It is
said that Johnson's friendship for him was most
sincere, and his biography only too favourable—
" When that poor friend had gone to his account,
Johnson gave the world the Life we speak of, as fresh
and glowing with the morning lights, and tender hues,
and vivid feeling of his early companionship and love
for him who was mare than a year dead, as if he had
only just parted with him, after a long and delightful
talk and walk, and given him a shake by the hand at
the corner of Fleet-street."
In conclusion it is observed that—

" We would deliberately say that history, or biogra-
phy, the colours on the painter's canvass, or the cuttings
of the sculptor's chisel, the poet's flight, or the tracings
of the pencil, have never produced or perpetuated any
record so mournful :—nor is there any annal so dark, or
any memoir so full of heart-broken misery, as that of
poor, unhappy, gifted, Richard Savage."
" Rome and Her Rulers " relates to the work re-
cently published by Cardinal Wiseman, it renders,
a tribute to the manner in which he has achieved
his task, but suggests to the reader that in the pre-
late's descriptions they see but one side of the pic-
ture. " Novels for Infancy, Manhood, and Second
Childhood," give rise to some reflec,ions, in which
the writer is hardly fair to female novelists. " The
Cobbler and the Round Tower " is an amusing
tale in verse, which chronicles the unfortunate
events that befel a man who maintained a character
for wisdom.

Fraser.—Fraser's Magazine this month do2s not
present any special attractions. There are some
interesting subj etc and same articles that will
repay perusal, but the general effect is somewhat
tedious. One of the most attractive papers is the
opening one, a criticism on the recent memoirs of
Shelley, by a friend and companion of the poet.
The introductory remarks on the mania for literary
biographies, which is now so common, are just and
forcible, The fact of an individual having pub-
lished some volumes of prose or verse does not autho-
rip those totally unconnected with him to intrude
not only en the actions and events of his life, but
on his private thoughts and feelings, his preferences,
his aversions, his weakne,ses and foibles. It a
writer is in the habit of publishing his sentiments
on some topics to the world, the naturalinferenhces
to be drawn from his silence. on other., is that
does not wish them to be publicly discussed and
analysed. It is with regret that we see this system
