AINSIVOI?171.
The story of " Guy Fawkes" has now reached ita.
most interesting point. In this part of the narrativ a
Guy Fawkes discovers that he is himself the obj,,at
of Viviana's love, and a few pages after we read of
bis capture on the memorable fifth of November, an
event celebrated by the pencil of Cruickshank.
There are several interesting tales in this number of
Ainsworth.

TAIT
A somewhat discursive but interesting article, en..
titled " Hyperboreana," records the downfal of
Patrick Stewart, the once potent Earl of Orkney,
who, two hundred and thirty-four years ago, finished
his ignominious career at the market•cross of Edin-.
burgh by the hands of the common executioner. VA!, most delightful paper in this number of Tait is the
second instalment of Hurton's " Written Pictures
from the North of Europe." The Christmas Arnily
festivities at Copenhagen, and the men and ma.nners of
the north countries, are described in the most fas-
cinating and natural manner. The scenes and the
characters, already rendered familiar to us by Misa
Bremer and Christian Andersen, revive in these de-
scriptions.

THE ECLECTIC REVIEW.
The Eclectic Review contains a very excellent
article headed "Juvenile Depravity," which treats of
the terrible social state of London. The review of
Gilfillan's literary portraits is a delightful article, and
in the main it accords with our own already expressed
opinion of that work.

THE ANGLO-SAXON.
The Anglo-Saxon contains a beautiful map of the
world, called " The Anglo-Saxon Map," all those
places being coloured a bright red where the children
of our race have established themselves and
"Filled the world with fame,
And with great praise and marvel of the Anglo-Saxon
nr.me."

THE CHEMIST.
A new periodical, under the above title, purport.,
ing to be " a monthly journal of chemical philosophy,
and of chemistry applied to the arts, rnanufactu.res,
agriculture, and medicine, and record of pharmAcy,'
has recently made its appearance. It has been
brought out at an appropriate time. The public,
health is now deservedly one of the most interesting
and popular topics of consideration, and, in addition
to various papers on purely chemical subjects, the
Chemist devotes considerable attention to matters
affecting the sanitary condition of the people. In as
article on some of the many poisonous sewers in.
London, it is asked—" Should the summer of this
year, on its arrival, find us unprepared for the attacks
of epidemic disease, what fearful results may we not
anticipate ! What shall we not deserve 1' "Sanitar=y Observations relating to articles of Food, Drink, kc. '
is worthy of perusal. As far as it has come under
our notice, this periodical appears entitled to com-
mendation, and is likely to help the good cause.

Tai
E JO URA AL OF DESIGN.
Every succeeding number of this periodical co4_
firms our opinion of its excellence. Its criticisms tre,
for the most part, as judicious as its illustrations are
graceful.

THE LONDON JOURNAL OF -PATENT
INVENTIONS.
The proposed Exhibition renders the London Journal
especially interesting at the present moment. The
abrogation of the contract with Messrs. Munday ap-
pears to have given general satisfaction. The London
Journal, in an article on the subject of the Exhibi-
tion, strongly urges the paramount importance of the
useful to the ornaments'. According to this article,
improvements in implements, &c., affecting " agricul-
ture" should take the first rank, next articles con-
cerned with "building," then "clothing," and then " domestic utensils." Nevertheless, the framer of
the above proposition does not wish ornamental art
to be wholly neglected. It is to be desired that
neither the ornamental nor the useful shall be
neglected in the Exhibition. They are both so closely
intertwined that it is difficult and quite undesirable
to separate them.

THE BELLE ASSEMBLER.
In an article entitled " Reviewers Reviewed," the
criticisms upon Mrs. Newton Crosland's beautiful
tale " Stratagems," are effectively answered. In the
review in the Art Journal, the title and subject of
stratagems was objected to, on the ground that it is
not well to familiarise youth with images of deception
or any form of vice. Miss Edgeworth was quoted in
support of the opposite principle, whereas, on ex mina.
tion of one of Mii,s Edgeworth's works, " Parents'
Assistant," it appears that the majority of its lessons
are inculcated by presenting vice in all its enormity.
Those who remember the tales of the " The False
Key," " Tarleton," " Lazy Lawrence," and others,
will at once agree that if Mrs. Crosland has erred in
the principle of her tale, Miss Edgeworth had also
erred previously and continually, which very few will
allow.

following observation :—" I cannot wholly di.
vest myself of the icier," says the writer, of this
article, " that those philanthropists who so anxiously
desire the abolition of capital and corporal punish-
ment, an 1 who talk so much of the nobleness of
human nature, and its degradation by the use
of the lash, have some innate conscious Hess of
theirrs iown fallibility, and a distrust in their power
of sting the evil influences to which their cor-
ruptible nature may expose them, and of the possi,
bi
their lity, sould these punishments be allowed to (ilia,
of h
ome day affecting thentselves." A mournful fragment, entitled - Toe Cashiered,'' concludes with
some just animadversions upon the irresponsibility of
courts-martial. "A recent court-martial"—we quote
the last paragrsph of thisarticle—"held at Guernsey,
on Captain Douglas, of the 16th giment
forcibly recalled our attention
to th Ree
subject. That
,hat
he is innocent of any crime, or that his con-
duct has in aught deviated from the cor-
r nh officer and a gentleman,
there cannot be the slightest doubt, yet be has been
convicted and cashiered by a court-martial. While
sympathise and condole with Captain,
wDeoudgel ear's 13in his unmerited disgrace, we confidently
hope that justice will ere long be rendered him ; and
sincerely as we commiserate the position of that high-
minded gentleman, we rejoice that his undeserved in-
fliction will prove the means of remodelling the per.
nicious system of courts-martial." :
