DUBLIN UNIVE.RSITY MAGAZINE.
In an enlightened article on the " Irish Question,"
which leads off this Number, and is singularly tem-
perate in its tone, the writer, after observing that Ire-
land' has been too king regarded in the House of
Commons as a.mere battle-field for party, gnes on to
state that the ofily•etlectual.way•of tranquillising that
country is by paying'prompt and diligtht attention to
the Wants of the poor, for it is poverty that I there
the fruitful; parent of all agitation. 4,, Want is a bad
counsellor,' adds the writer, " and Irishmenhave bad
for many years no other. The lavish professions of
the dernagoguefall plea.santly on the ears of bitii who
has never heard the words.of encouragement from
any other. Look upon Ireland, then,- for once; with
the 'eyes of benevolenee.and huinanity, and not with

welfare-and prosperity.' There is much , good sense
in these remarks,, and the time, :trust, is not far
distant, when an English Minister will act in accord-
ance with them. " The Three Suitor's" is a passable
rhymed-legend, written in the manner of Ingoldsby.
Southey and
_his Poems" contains here and.there
imneindicious critical comments, but, as a whole, its
tone is too encomiastic. Mr.• Anster's translation of
Schiller's ballad of " Hero and Leander" is rendered
with considerable spirit; we subjoin the closing
stanzas

CHRISTIAN'S MONTHLY MAGAZINE.
This is the Fourth Number of an eccleqiistical, edu-
cational, literary record and miscellany, and contains,
inter alici, a careful digest of all the Clerical intelli-
gence of the past month. Among the original com-
munications is a " Secret Ilistory.of Tractarianism,"
Which takes a decided anti-Pusey view of the question.

COLONIAL MAGAZINE.
We have here one 'of the best of the numerous
chaaP magazines devoted to the consideration of
colonial questions. The present Number furnishes us
with some entertaining matter of information as
regards the "Dutch Settlements in Asia."
