MISCELLANEOUS.

Tait's Edinburgh Magazine has an unusually
extended table of contents, which includes a
' variety of subjects. The first is the Political Past
and Future, which at the present time is not a
very cheerful topic. A paper on " The Winter
Amusements of London" affords matter for re-
flection to the thoughtful observer of metropolitan
life. "An Adventure in Kaffirland," and "A Peep
into Bohemia," are both, as their titles imply, the
records of travellers. An essay on " The Present
Condition of the Church of England" draws some
striking pictures of the position of the poorer
elswgy. The poetical contributions are numerous,
but by no means of a high order. A sketch
called " Tangled Talk" is worthy of perusal.
—7 he Eclectic Review is not particularly attractive
this month. Its first paper, on " Palestine,"
contains some informations collated from the nu-
merous
works of travel that have recently appeared.
" Reynard. the Fox," of old renown, gives the
subject to an article. A notice of " The Logic of
the Christian Faith" renders full credit to the
powers of the author. The remarks on the present
disrelish for the sterner systems of inductive philo-
sophy are striking. The usual " Review of Science
and Literature" is appended, and in the next num-
ber, we are told, the first " Quarterly Review of
American Literature" will be given.—The _Na-
tional Magazine has many attractive names among
its contributors. Westland Marston, Holme Lee,
Shirley Brookes, Miss Power, and many others of
equal reputation, are in the list. Westland Mar-
ston bas a* interesting story, called " The
Wife's Portrait." Several tales and sketches appro-
priate to the season are also met with. Among the
illustrations are a portrait of Douglas Jerrord, and
a woodcut of Millais's picture of " The Rescue."—
The Monthly Review has several able and spark-
ling criticisms, containing, however, a full share of
satire and severity.—Charles Knight's useful and
popular productions are continued with credit.
Two numbers of The English Cyclopcedia have
recently appeared, which brings down the bio
graphy to the family of Medici.—Newton's London
Journal has its ustial useful record of inventions
and improvements, and is especially suited for
manufacturers and agriculturists.—Le Follet has
its ordinary illustrations of the fashions.—The
Commercial travellers have commenced a magazine
of their own, which, it is to be hoped, will meet
with due encouragement from that class.—The
Educational Times; with which The Governess is
now incorporated, gives full reports of the Com-
mittee of Council of Education and all educational
institutions. All to whom this important topic
is a matter of interest will find attraction in this
publication.
