TO BE PUBLISHED • QUARTERLY. . •

For a considerable time past there has-been, on the part of a large
proportion of the public, a growing feeling of the want of a Periodical
accommodated to the character of the times. The professedly reli-
gious Magazines have been chiefly devoted to theological subjects,
and generally address themselves to the peculiar views of one sect ;
and the Literary, Scientific, and Political Journals—though some of
them conducted with admirable talent—have excluded religion alto-
gether from their pages, or allowed it only a subordinate place ; and
no attempt has been hitherto made to meet the increased intelligence
in connection with,the strong religious feelings of the age.
To remedy these defects the present Work has been undertaken. It
is not intended to be a Theological Journal. No subject that can oc-
cupy the 'interest of a well-cultivated mind will bd excluded ; but
topics of every kind- will be treated of by individuwls accustomed to
view them in their highest relations ; and Papers of a more strictly
religion§ character will be frequently introduced.
In discussing religious subjects; there will be no attempt to advo-
cate the distinguishing pecullarltiei of any particular sect, and a re-
ference will be made only to those great principles. upon which all the
Evangelical Communions are agreed.
Political qbestions will be considered, net so much in reference to
-the views of party, as to the virtue and happiness of the community ;
and while, in this department, the work _will be devoted to the main-
tenance of principles decidedly Liberal, those sentiments of religion
and humanity- will be inculcated which alone can, make the wisest
enactments permanently beneficial;
In Literature, the moral and religious tendency of Works under
review will always be the first subject pf. consideratiou, and their
literary-merits will be discussed with a spirit of truthfulness and -ear-
nestness which is not inconsistent with the lighter gi'aces of criticism.
The latest discoveries in mental and physical science will be regu-
larly unfolned, by men themselves of the highest inventive genius.
In all departments individuals of the greatest celebrity in this, and
in other countries, have promised to aderii our-pages with their con-
tributions.

LITERATURE.

TIME VE#SUS LlFE.—Sherwood, London, 1844.
The author, of ,thii skilful treatise observes, in his
preface, "the folloWing pages, though the result of
long practical observation, are presented in a form
rather popular than professional ; not because they
are•destitute of observations which may be useful to
the practitioner; but because I consider that impor-
' tant inediCal truthS where they are sufficiently
simple, should be Made to enlighten that public they are
meant to benefit, rather than suffer refraction through
any mediiuni boweVer bright and pure." The great
fault in most treatises of this .sort is, that they are
penned in too professional a .spirit, and abound in
technicalities intelligible only to the faculty ; but
this is not the case with the work before us, which
Rives in simple and perspicuous terms such directions
for the preservation of healtla-as are likely to be most
•Serviceablekto the community. The chapters on the
effect of '"Atmosplieric Changes," on Diet," and
the best method of regulating it, and on the influence
which age exercises on the "Digestive Organs;" may
be peruied with great advantage by the reader, for
they are evidently the result of long practical experi-
ence, and are wholly free from the crotchety theories
in which medical-treatises so often-abound.

_ ROOD'S -MAGAZINE.: •
We received this Magazine at so late an hour, that
we- were unable to include it among our usual
periodical notices of the month. Among the .poetical
contributors, we find- Mrs. Norton; Messrs. Monck-
ton Milnes, Wood, Mackay, and Lover.. The lady's
poem is the best ; it is intitled " How lately the Joy
bells were ringing ;" and imurtrays in simple and
touching 'language the death of a young and beautiful
woman shortly after her marriage. We subjoin the
closing lines
:
But an awful and glorious meeting
Remaineth to comfort us yet,
In a world where our hopes are not fleeting,
Where thefsunshine of joy shall not set.
There, night shall be turned into morning,
And Darkness give place unto Day,
The bruising, the weeping, the scorning,
The turmoil of life pass away.
Theie, gladly that innocent Spirit
<Renewed by a Heavenly birth)
Whole. ages of bliss shah inherit
For an hour Of sorrow on Earth !
.XOt hard is the,Parents' deep anguish •
Though by
-Faith, and Religion beguiled ;
Long, Icing must they sorrow and languish
And yearn for.their beautiful child.
And -long,—for his heart is bnt human,—
• • The desolate bridegroom'Shall grieve,
• And that sweet face, half child and half woman,
Still haunt him at morning and eve :
.. At the sound of her light-footsteps falling
• • He shall murmur: and, smile in his 'sleep :
• ;In dreaMs lie shall hear her voice calling -
..And wake, to remember and weep !
The "Ship-breake'r's yard";is a. prose tale, or legend,
in which there is some. good -description mixed with
much that is fantastic.. A " Receipt., for the Manu-
facture of IN.larriagei" Is a livety. story, ,the dialogue
pOrfiona of which are neat and pointed, and appa-
rently without effort.; The 'Matchmaker" is one of
Mrs. InoWing• and good-natured sketches of
character. • The Editor contributes an ' allegorical
poem oil the

his most successful. manner. • • .

larity during 1809 aiid the four following years. We
looked into it with some curiosity; but were greatly
disappointed' in our epectatioxis *for it contains not
one single trait- of
.character,.-being,. in fact, a mere
dry,.dull summary of proceedings :from month to
month, to which not: the Slightest..pUblie interest is
attached.. 'The account of the •" tons Tracy of the
Russian Nobility,' on the .accession of the present
.
Emperor 'to the throne, is related. in a most careful
and circumstantial manner. We quote the following
passage,- which-corroborates what we 'Stated yesterday
in, The Sun; respecting . the conduct of the Emperor..
NichOlas when -the news of. the blealringvntoof---the
conspiracy first reached him :-- -
The Marquis de Custine, in his 'recent book on Rui-
sia, gives us a dialogue between himself atidllie.Ein-•
peror Nicholas, in which the former. alludes to those
events, as having furnished an- 'occasion on which the
latter had distinguished himself in the eyes of all Europ
by, his, firmness and -his courage: It is difficult to tell
how much per cent. of the unmeasured fiattdry which
the Marquis -showers on his Imperial host is intended as
waggery, as undoubtedly, from the subsequent portions
of his book, wo must judge a large portion of it to be ;
but it appears that the Emperor took all -this adulation 1
as genuine.. ..Ilisbehaviour on -this-occasion is the sub.
Ject on which Nicholas is 'aid to be most accessible to
flattery, and we, may therefore readily imagine the one
oh'Whieh- he is most. generally fluttered. It is cited both
by his admirers and his detractors, and. not, perhaps,
inaptly by tither, as he found here the opportunity of
displaying the most salient features of his .character,--
both good and bad. We shall leave to the reader the
appreciation of which- predominates. , The resolute firm-.
ness, the energetic, aCtivity,' which he displayed, saved
-not only his: absolute crown, but his life ; uncertain as
he was what mines'might ekplode beneath his footsteps,,
he disdainedAltdompromise, and boldly cast the die for
unlimited power,' or utter ruin. On the other hand, in.
the face.(ff his army, this man, who for years has never
quitted 'his uniform, who idolises all that is martial,
who looks in stature and in , port a Cceur-de-Lion, as
soon as Ins faithful force began 'to act, retired thus far
from the scene of 'action 'as to place himself in indivi-
dual safety,—thus 'affording us a' spectacle of moral
courage- and firmness, andphysical timidity, not inse-
parable; though.. seldom united. " From this day's beha-
vious his friends and foes deduce arguments to assert
his Courage or his cowardice, .bat -it would appear that
he is enaowed with that species of the former which is
really valuable in .a leader ofmen, but deficient in that
personal valour Which is -quite unconnected with the for..
mer,.but -which mon are apt to prize,'both in themselVes
andothers, as itit were a quality less common."

Mrs. Gore—one of. the most prolific
TAIT'S -1124GAZ/NE...4
as she is one
of the most brilliant novelists of the day—here re-
sumes her story of " Blanks and Prizes," which is
more remarkable for the ease and vivacity of its
style, than the freshness or the individuality of its
character. Doctor- Toddles is. a passable portrait, but
the rest of the personages have few, if any; strong
distinctive_ peculiarities. co Music" is, as the author
justly calls it, " a rhapsody," rather than a. poem.
The lines are slovenly, and the sentiments much too
exaggerated in; their character. A ",Summer at
Port 'Philip" gives apparently an impartial account of
the present state of things in that remote colony,
where' we are told; " the possession of five thousand
pounds enables a man to make a rapid fortune." Not-
withstanding this statement, we should conceive that
a man with such a sum in his possession would act
far more wisely to turn it.to account in his own coun-
try, than to speculate with it in such a distant,

heavy. - A few apt sketches. . character, which
might -easily have been introduced, would have added
greatly to its _ interest. The writer justly observes
that the political and religious temper 'of. the House
is much improved of lute years, and that angry bursts.
of bigotry and intolerance are-nolonger received with
faionr. We quote the following passage from a read-
able essay entitled "A Gossip on Sensuous Influences.".
The reference.--in it, to "Napo.leon and the' village

DUBLIN UMVERSITY 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 long regarded in the House of
Commons- as a mere battle-field for party, goes 'on to
state that the only effectual way of tranquillising that
country is by paying prompt and diligent attention to
the wants of thepoor, for it is poverty that is there
the fruitful parent of all agitation. " Want is a bad
counsellor," adds the-ixriter, " and Irishmen have had
for many years no other:—: The lavish professions of
the demagogue fall pleasantly on the ears of him who
has never -heard the words of encouragement from
any other. Look upon Ireland, then, for once, with
the eyes of benevolence and humanity, and not with
the one-sided glance of a partisan. Help the people.
In doing So, you will contribute largely to your own .
ivelfare and,prosperity." There is . much good sense
in these remarks, and ,the time, we trust, is not far
distant, when an English Minister will act in accord-
ance with them. " The Three Suitors" is a passable
rhymed legend, written in the manner of Ingoldsby.
" Southey and his -.Poems" contains here and there
some judicious 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 :

And the winds are hush'd—and panting
Up the eastern pathway slanting
Their course the steeds of Eos hold ;
Ocean smoothes his face of terror—
Peaceful lies the mighty mirr
Resting in his bed of old.
Softly, with a playful murmur
As upon the rocky strand
Break the gently heaving billows,
Lo ! they watt a corse to land.
He it is, whose promise plighted
Death bath seal'd ; and,—reunited
Now,—one glance—she sees him there.
Moan is none—nor tear-drop falling—
Statue-like the heart appalling
_Chillness of that calm despair.
From the wave that gives no comfort
. TO the blank sky see her glance,
And a glow of kindling triumph
Lights her pallid countenance.
" Powers, with whom is no relenting,—
Unresenti ng,—unlamentin g.—
I bow me ta the' will divine.
Ended is my -course full .early, '
But I loved, and was-loved, dearly,
And Life's fairest lot'was mine.
Venus ! while I lived, true priestess
Of thy temple I have been,
And, I die, a willing .
Thine in death, celestial queen !" .
With iair flying !Ind robez-floating
Prom the turret, self-devoting, •
• See ! .she plunges in the w0.ve,.,-
And, their holy forms receiving, • •
Ocean's God, in triumph heaving,
Bears them onward—is their grave.
Ponttts, with tlielrich spoil laden,
Thrills, his living' depths below,' '
Pouring from his. urn: exhaustless' •
. Streams that will not cease to flow.
