MISCELLANEOUS MAGAZINES,

The Commercial Travellers'.—This body having
lately risen into deserved impc,rfance, have set a
good example to all similar societies and bodies,
by starting a magazine, devoted, of course, to their
peculiar interests, and containing all information
or statistics relating to business ; hut, nevertheless
the remaining articles w ll be quite as attractive to
the general reader as those of morn pretentious
serials. Commercial topics are discussed in a
fair and business-like spirit, and the stories and
sketches contain some entertaining passlges. dye
trust it will succeed fi,r the general benefit of a
body so enterprising and intelligent.

The Train, which styles itself a first class maga-
zine, hardly me,its that title. It ig, however, a new
publication, and therefore is not to be judged se-
verely. The lovers of the humorous will find
amusement in its pages, as it has several papers
elevated to the ludicrous.

Tait's Edinburgh Magazine opens with a-paper
on the Bank Charter and Currency Laws, a sub-
ject which is now engrossing so much of public at-
tention. Two of the most attractive articles are
something of a similar character, being entitled
" Tangled Talk," and " Gleanings and Fragments,"
and both consist of short essays or sketches on
various topics. The story of " Broken Memories"
is continued with interest. There are many other
articles, none of them very striking. The best
subject being "Frederick Schiller."

The Eclectic Review has not a very attractive
table of contents. The practical politician may,
however, be interested in two papers on the Sound
Dues and the Euphrates Valley route to India.
The Indian Archipelago conveys some useful geo-
graphical information. " The Treatment of the
Insane" is the topic of the opening paper, and is
one which well merits the attention of all philan-
thropists.

Le Follet is, as usual, the authority for matters
of fashion, and its plates are as graceful and pretty
as modern fashions will allow.

LAW INTELLIGENCE.--(This Day.)

BANKRUPTCY COURT.
(Before Mr., Commissioner Evans.)
ADJOURNMENT SINE DIE.-IN RE NASH.

This bankrupt was described as of College-hill, wine
merchant, and to-day was appointed for his last examina-
tion, which had been adjourned for further accounts,
which, however, bad not been filed.
The solicitor to the assignees pressed for an adjourn-
ment sine die, without protection, and leave bankrupt to
apply to the Insolvent Court.
Mr. Lawrence, for the bankrupt, could not resist an
adjournment, but trusted some protection would be
granted. The bankrupt could not get his discharge
through the Insolvent Court, which refused to interfere
except in cases of adjournment sine die, where there was
an impossibility for the bankrupt ever to pass. In this
case the bankrupt might be able to make out the ac-
counts.

His Honour said he would adjourn the ewe sine die,
with protection for one month.

CRIMINAL COURT—(This Day.)

OLD COURT.
(Before the Recorder.)

Frederick Kimpel, a respectably-dres?ed young man,
was indicted for stealing a coat value 305., the property
of Benjamin Poole.

prisoner.

- It appeared from the evidence that on the 13,h Feb.
last the prisoner went to the well-known Wine Shades,
near London-bridge, and asked for seine sherry. On
leaving the premises he was seen by a waiter, named
Parker, to take down a coat in the hall, with which
he walked off. The waiter followed him outside the
door and charged him with stealing it. A Scuffle en-
sued between them, and the coat was picked up by
another waiter and thrown into the passage. The pri-
soner was then seertred and given into custody. The
prisoner, in his defence before the magistrate, denied
any intention of stealing the coat, and said that he
found it lying on the floor, and that he picked it up
with die intention of putting it on the rail, when he was
pounced upon by the waiter.
The jury found the prisoner guilty, and recommended
him to mercy on account of his good character.

The Recorder sentenced him to two months' imprison-
ment, with hard labour.

son, for forgery, will come on on Thursday next. Sir
