MISCELLASEOYS.

The Eclectic Review op.ns with an interesting
rirticle on " British and Foreign Libraries," chiefly
compiled from the valuable contents of the " Report
from the St.lect C drunittee on Public Libraries." In
an article, in this same periodical, "On Wordsworth,"
we find the following singularly felicitous simile
(alluding of course to an incident in the life of St.
'Paul) :—" Nature," says the reviewer, "tecomes
to the poet's eye a great sheet let down from God
mt of heaven; and in which there is no object ' common
or unclean.' "—Tait's Magazine also contains some
remarks on the deceased Poet Laureate. " The Ad-
mission of the Jews into Parliament," the " Patriotic
War in Italy," and the " Recent Post-office Altera-
tions," form the subjects of the principle articles in
his number, which is of its usual excellence ; but we
•annot compliment Tait on his poetical contri-
butors. Here, for instance, is a translation of
vine beautiful lines of hateaubriand's, which
:occur in a consolatory epistle written by the poet to a
friend who was lamenting the death of a beloved
laughter. The whole poem is beautiful, but the most
,• exquisite verse is the following:—
" Elle etait de ce monde at les plus holies chosen
Out le pire dcstin
Et Rose, eap a vecu, ce que vit la Rose,
L'espsce d'un matin."
Here is the very inadequate translation :
\ " She was of earth, where fairest things
Meet foulest fate. '1 he rose thus springs
With day's first dawning
Thus blooms with youth elate,
Thus lades with morning."
-'," Ainsworth's Magazine contains the commencement of
.. its editor's last romance, " The Lancashire Witches."
- ['he introduction to that tale which is contained in
,
/his number of the magazine, is one of the happiest
; aoecimens of that peculiar style of romantic fiction.
' Voltigeur, of course, makes his appearance in
he Sportsman : the other illustration of
- • which is a capitally drawn scene, showing
'-... ' How the secret,, got out."—A passing
Fi comment is hardly sufficient to do adequate justice to
the Farmers' Magazine, a periodical rich in most
t useful and valuable information. The present
' number contains a portrait and memoir of Mr. Tho-
'. aias Chapman, of Stoneleigh.—The Church of Eng-
land Magazine is filled with interesting and useful
papers ; among others, " The Relations in Life of
_ the Christian," and " The Mistake of Profession,*
are worthy of consideration.—The Rambler contains
_several well-written articles chiefly intended for the
members of the Roman Catholic Church.—The Ca-
tholic Register and Magazine is of a less serious cha-
racter, and contains sketches and tales.—The London
'lJournal and Repertory of Inventions has many beautiful
vlengravings and useful descriptions of recent patent
inventions.—Among the most interesting contents of
, the Colonial Magazine is an account of " Dacca
- Manufactures and Productions for the Exhibition of
1851."—Mrs. Ellis's Morning Call is carried on with
her usual ability. Toe chief article is, we believe,
from her own pen, namely, "Ella More, or the
History of a Human Heart." We need not say that
it instructs as well as entertains. The character of
Ella is well drawn, and is exceedingly natural. The
. poetry of this serial is especially good; among the
best pieces are those on " The Months," and some
' by American authors.—Much that is interesting may
, be found this month in Sharpe's. The " Ornitholo-
gia Poetica ; or, Quotations from different Poets on
the subject of the Eagle ;" and the " Life and Poems
'` of George Crabbe," are among the best of the
articles. The reviews are numerous.—The People's
. lI
andHowilt's Journal contains its usual
variety of grave and gay. The present num-
.l
ber gives the sixth and last chapter of
• the prize tale of the " Soldier's Progress." The song
o
f the " Moss Rose Girl" is very graceful. The sub-
,
rttjct of the " Crystal Seer," by Charlotte Young, is we
oeed scarcely sae taken from "The Csxtons."—The
Lading' Companion is, as usual, excellent in prose In'
1::,'
verse. The charming tale of "Lettice Arnold" is
illconcluded in this number. We part from it with
,:may mention " Ilelen Fairfax ' and The Life
the numerous other articles,, we
P,ireluctance. Among
r atinsow," and among the poetical contributors "The
Battle of Cressy," by hiss Costello, and the season-
: able and most beautiful verses by E. E. M. K., en-
titled " Floral Fancies," which we have already
.quoted.—Among the chief articles in Chambers, we
'f may cite "Wordsworth and his Poetry," "The First
, Sleep," "Philosophy of the Fallen Opera," and the
poem on "True Chivalry." The scientific will find
'• much to interest them in this number, which -eon,.
*tains many instructive articles.—All little people
.will
I- hail with delight the appearance of the first number of
::Peter Parley's New Monthly Journal ; it will well
repay them for perusal.—The Public Good is a.eheap
monthly magazine, superior to many of Ito duo ;

much amusing and useful matter may be found in its
pages. The present number contains the autographs
of distinguished women, and an essay on " Woman's
Mission."—The Family Herald is composed of an
infinite variety of subjects, and is truly, as it says
on its cover, "interesting to all, offensive to none."
—Le Follet is, as usual, charming.

A NOVEL. 0 0 D.
" The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could
hardly see displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
half of his heroes and heroines. He is a writer of genius, inspired
by a high standard of morality and religien, and by a laudable love
Of the purest sort of fame. We gather this from the glowing lan-
guage in which he expresses his feelings, sentiments, and opinions
on the subjects just mentioned. There are several chapters, in
which links of the story are dropped, containing most eloquent essays
on matters that are the prima mobilia of the actions which cha-
racterise nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he
has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Dis. aells, Man-
aeries, and Smythes."—Observer.
" ' Silwood' is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exceed-
ng beauty, and is written in pure and forcible language, with great
good taste and power. It is one of the most interesting and en-
gaging novels which the present season has pro,iuced. Of the cha-
racter of Amelia Ross we have already spoken, and the extract we
have given above is the surest voucher of the truth of what we have
said. The other ladies who play co7ispicuons parts in the tale are
Flcrence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon, a wild and
impulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia
Maitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.
