MISCELLANE OrTS.

The Eclectic Review opens with—an interesting
article on " British and- Foreign Libraries," chiefly
compiled from the valuable contents of the " Report
from the Select Committee on Public Libraries." In
lan 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 revi,,wer, "becomes
to the poet's eye a great sheet let down from God
mat of heaven; and in which there is no object comtnon
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
this number, which is of its usual excellence; but we
cannot compliment Tait on his poetical contri-
butors. Here, for instance, is a translation of
some beautiful lines of hateaubriand's, which
• ~ccur in a consolatory epistle written by the poet to, a
friend who was lamenting the death of a • beloved
daughter. The whole poem is beautiful, but the most
.;,exquisite verse is the following:—
, " Elle etait de ce monde (it lcs plus Lelles chose'
Out le pire destin
Et Rose, elle a well, ce que vit la Rose,
L'espace d'ua matins "
Here is the very inadequate translation :
" She was of earth, where fairest thin4s
Meet foulest fate. The 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."
The introduction to that tale which is contained in
this number of the magazine, is one of the happiest
4ueciinens of that peculiar style of romantic fiction.
Voltigeur, of course, makes his appearance in
the Sportsman : the other illustration of
which is a capitally drawn scene, showing
How the secret; got out."—A passing
comment is hardly sufficient to do adequate justice to
the Farmers' Magazine, a periodical rich in most
useful and valuable information. The present
cumber contains a portrait and memoir of Mr. Tho-
mas Chapman, of Stoneleigh.—The Church of Eng-
land Alagazine filled with interesting and tuseful
papers ; among others, " The Relations in Life of
the Christian," and " The Mistake of Profession,*
are worthy of consideration.—Tee Rambler contains
several well-written articles chiefly intended for the
members of the Roman Cs' holic Church.—The Ca-
tholic Register and Magazine is of a less serious cha-
racter, and contains sker.ehes and tales.—The London
Journal and Repertory of Inventions has many beautiful
engravings and useful descriptions of recent patent
inventions.—Among the must interesting contents of
the Colonial Magazine is an account of " Dacca
Manufactures ant Pr. ductions for the Exhibition of
1851."—Mrs. Eilis's Morning Call is carried on with
her usual ability. Tne 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 us entertains. The character of
Ella is well drawn, and is exceedingly natural. The
poetry of this serial is especially good ; among the
..lbest 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 Poetics ; 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
and Howitt's Journal contains its usual
variety of grave and gay. The present num-
.% her gives the sixth and last chapter of
the prizs tale of the " Soldier's Progress." The song
of the " Moss Rome Girl" is very graceful. The sub-
j: ject of the " Crystal Seer," by Charlotte Young, is we
7:need scarcely say taken from "The Caxtons.' —The
*Ladies' Companion is, as usual, excellent in prose and
vere. The charming tale of "Lettice Arnold" is
concluded in this number. We part from it with
reluctance. Among the numerous other articles, we
1' may mention "Helen Fairfaxn and "The Life
Ransom," and among the poetical contributors "The
is Battle of Cressy," by Miss 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
way cite " Wordsworth and his Poetry," " The First
• Sleep," "Philosophy of the Italian Opera," and the
poem on "True Chivalry." The scientificwillfinodf
much to interest them in this number, which eon-
' tains many instructive articles.—All little people will
hail with delight the appearance of the first number
Peter Parley's New Monthly Journal; it will Well
• repay them for perusal.—The Public Good is a cheap
monthly magazine, superior to owl' of its clam

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 Pallet is, as usual, charming.

SA NOVEL. I L W
0 0 D.
" The author, we are convinced, is young, otherwise we could
hardly sea displayed such fresh and enthusiastic sympathy in be-
half of his heroes and heroines. He is a 'writer of genius, inspired
Ilya high standard of morality and religion, 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 elm-
raeterlse nature's nobility. The writer evidently belongs, though he
has marked per se peculiarities, to the school of the Dish aelis, Man-
nerves, and Smythes."—Observe-.
" Silwoed. is no ordinary work ; it contains passages of exeeed-
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 ladles who play coaspicuons parts In the tale are
Florence Howard, an intellectual beauty; Jessie Gordon,,a wild and
ulsive genius, passionately fond of music and poetry; and Julia
Ililaitland, the noblest and best of them all."—Morning Post.
