NTINUED),

of England." In pity to our readers, who must be sated
and somewhat more, with the Tractarian Controversy,
we shall find room but for two very short extracts from
the first of these articles. It is, however, a most able
paper. A more epigrammatic summary of doctrine, and
an inference more irresistible than that which the writer
wisely leaves the world to draw from it, we have not
often seen than those which are comprised in the follow-
ing passages :
" From what has already been laid before the reader
in these papers it may be gathered that Dr. Pusey en-
tertains no serious objection to the system advocated by
Mr. Oakeley.
" The passage referred to is in the Preface to his
adaptation of another work of Avrillon's :
" A Guide fur passing Lent Holily, in which is found
for each day, Advice as to l'ractice, a Meditation and
Thoughts on the Gospel for the Day, and Passages from
the Holy Scriptures and the Fathers ; with a Collect,
and one point in the Pas,ion of our Lord Jesus Christ,
By Avrillon. Translated from the French, and adapted
to the use of the English Church.'
"In the preface to this volume, Dr. Pusey plainly
avows his approval of the method of tampering with
Holy Scripture which is now recommended by this party,
under the name of Meditation ; and on precisely the
same ground as Mr. Oakeley has taken."
Under the heading " Church of England in India"
we find extracts from a sensible and affectionate " Fare-
well Charge" of the Bishop of Calcutta (Wilson) to his
clergy. We make room for the following passage:—
"It is true, there are many anomalies still in our po-
sition as compared with an English diocese. It is true,
the inherent powers of the bishop, as recognised and
defined in the royal letters patent, were not duly sup-
ported in the Act for the erection of the see in 1814, by
corresponding provisions. It is true, the rev, chaplains
are not incumbents nor perpetual curates, as at home.
It is true, the bishop's license is not clearly and formally
acknowledged by the Government in their proceedings,
as it should be. It is true, that the appointments to sta-
tions and the removal of chaplains are in the Govern-
ment. It is true, that impediments, as to the Bishops of
Calcutta and Madras holding their ecelesiaStical courts,
have arisen. It is true, that the rev, chaplains are still
sometimes termed military ones.'
" But all these anomolies are, in practice, very much
remedied. The bishop's recommendations to appoint •
ments are acted on ; removals do not take place without
his approbation, and his endorsing of that approbation
on the license. All the clergy, both chaplains and mis-
sionaries, are duly licensed by the bishop, and act under
that license. Notices of the licenses of the rev, clergy
are inserted in the Government gazette ; anything dis-
orderly in the conduct of the chaplains is referred by
Go7ernment to the bishop, and his opinion duly sup-
ported ; the chaplains, if described as similar to mili-
tary ones,' are known and acknowledged to be described
so improperly and merely in common parlance."

AINSIVORTIPS MAGAZINE.
The three chapters of "Caesar Borgia," with which
this number commences, are a decided improvement on
those which have preceded them. The author begins to
sketch the terrible soldier-cardinal with a steadier and
more vigorous hand, and the accessories to the story
come out with a degree of keeping and fidelity which in-
duce us to believe he has studied the pages of Bur-
chardus, Platina, and Macchiavelli to good account.
The personal character of this latter, indeed, is some-
what feebly pourtrayed ; but it is no every-day task to
bring before the public in the nineteenth century a good
posthumous portrait of the great Florentine Secretary
and diplomatist of the sixteenth. The Black Penitent—
Dom Sabbat—we are led to suppose will turn out an
embodiment of the " Wandering Jew." It will not be
an easy thing to give force or novelty to this edition of
that most romantic of legends after it has been so ably
and variously handled by the German and the French
romanca writers. To show the disheartening effect of
coming after great masters, we may remark that even
M Eugene Sue's more carefully elaborated portrait of
this celebrated personage is, even in the powerful hands
of the most popular of Continental novelists, a complete
failure by the side of Monk Lewis's adapted, but sin-
gularly vigorous and appalling sketch. " London
Bridge," by Arnheldt Weaver, is a touching commen-
tary—founded, we fear, on facts—upon the,subject of poor
Tom Hood's pathetic and solemn ballad, entitlei " The
Bridge of Sighs." Mr. Thomas Oilier furnishes a very
pretty sonnet on October, full of poetical imagery and
feeling. " Glimpses of Germany, with a Glance at
France," have been caught by some one who calls
himself " a travelling satellite of Queen Victoria,"
and appears to have been perfectly ebloui by,
we suspect, the munificent courtesies of the Duke
of Saxe Gotha to those whom the writer calls "feuille-
tonistes." Ile announces, with much circumstance, that
"a compliment, one of the neatest, nay, the most ele-
gant national compliment that" (can it be believed?)
"lee had ever heard, was paid through him—his insig-
nificant self, to —the whole British nation!" by some
Pole—not named—in some service—not hinted at—with
Louis Philippe, on board the steam-boat, in its home-
ward passage from Tridort. He is extremely wrath
with Jules Janin, as one "of the French journalists
who are best at a distance" (this is neither the "neatest
nor the nicest compliment we have ever met with')—is
denounced as a sort of "bourgeois dandy;" and be
kindly vindicates her Majesty from imputations sug-
gested by two absurd anecdotes which, having been at
the trouble to set up, he has the best right in the world
to bowl down; and does accordingly overthrow kith
most superfluous solicitude. "James Shepherd;' the
Jacobite," a tale of the reign of George I. (suggested,
we presume, by a well-known case in the black collec-
tion of the "State Trials"), is a clever but dreary tale
of that vii dictive period, in which the change of dynasty
on the throne seemed to have, for a time, extinguished,
even among the leading members of the two contending
parties, advocating respectively the succession of the
House of Stuart and that of the House of Hanover—
all the emotions of human pity ; the dictates of mercy
in the Sovereign and his councils, and the judges of the
land; the charities of life both among his adherents and
his enemies, but especially among the former. Poor
Shepherd, the young herald-painter of 18, was hanged
at Tyburn on the 17th of March, 1718, a mistaken, but
conscientious and unrepining victim to a deeply-rooted
principle of enthusiastic devotion to the Stuart family.
" A Tale of East India Life, founded on fact, by J. E.
Stocqueler," is a story of an attachment commenced in
England, between a ha7f-caste youth (son of an English
officer quartered in Bengal, by a native mother), and
crushed in India through this " abatement " in the
hero's "escutcheon of pretence" The following is the
denouement of the narrative:—
" It was on a fine night in the middle of Augtut, 1832,
that Merton, who had been dining with a friend at Kensing-
ton was returning along the pathway which skirts Hyde
Park, when he was accosted by a female who appeared rather
disposed to solicit alms of the stranger, than propose an of-
fensive traffic. The general demeanour of the woman caused
Merton, whose heart was always alive to generous impulses,
to slacken his step and listen to her. She walked by his
side for a short distance—the voice was familiar to his ear—
the gait was not altogether foreign to his eye. Presently they
reached a lamp-post, when stopping to take out his purse and
afford her aid, he suddenly beheld ill the stream of light the
well-known features of Emily Bertram! Great was his grief
and astonishment at this sudden rencontre. He had sup-
posed her to be living in affluence in India, the honoured wife
of a Senior Merchant (as the superior servants of the Com-
pany were then called), for he had seen her marriage an-
nounced. She recognised him as readily as he discovered
her, and with less reserve than she would have shown in
prouder days, revealed her sad history. It involved a tale
too often told in India—of selfishness, ambition, passion, re-
morse, and disgrace. Emily, instigated by her burra bebee
(great lady) friend, had given her hand to a gentleman very
much her senior in year:, who had a large income and a
handsome establishment. Her heart she reserve i for a later
suitor—a captain of dragoons. The liaison was discovered;
banishment from her husband's house, followed by a formal
separation, was the immediate result; her paramour refused
to receive her—society turned its back upon her, and she was
only too glad to receive from one who had tasted her hospi-
tality, when in affluence, the means of returning to England,
a prey to the undying worm. She had landed only a fort-
night previous to her meeting with Merton ; no one of the
few friends she had would admit her, and beggary, or some-
thing worse, was the only source of subsistence open to her!
Merton shed burning tears over her narrative—gave her the
present means of existence, and appointed to meet her in
Hyde Park the following day, intending in the mean time
to consult with his wife as to further arrangements for her
welfare. On reaching home he told the whole story to Mrs.
Merton, who, out of the fulness of her sympathy for the
erring sufferer, proposed that their house should afford her
an asylum.

JOURNAL of AGRICULTORE ; and Vie Transac-
tions of t.'ie Highland and Agricultural Society of Scot-
land. No. X. New Series. October, 1845.
We see but one objection to the scheme on which this
intelligent and pains-taking journal is conducted. It
may be that we have old-fasioned notions on such sub-
jects ; but it seems to us that the sphere of usefulness
such a periodical is destined to fill must be determined
by the presence, among other elements of success, of
this primary condition, namely, that its contributions
be popularly treated. Allowing much for the more ge-
nerally diffused amount of chemical and geological
knowledge among the farmers and cultivators of the
northern, as compared with those of the southern
divisions of the island, we cannot persuade ourselves that,
for the purposes of the average run of Scotch farmers,
even in the most highly-cultivated districts, such as
those of Perthshire and the Lothians, an array of agri-
cultural essays, with such a large sprinkling of scientific
and technical designations as we meet here, is the most
expedient means of inducing those who are in want of in-
formation on the questions treated of to acquire it.
What would one of our great wheat growers on stiff
' clays on the enormous farms of the Isle of Ely, or farmers
on the heavy soils of Essex, or the tillers of the great
wealds of Kent and Sussex say. if they are requested to
peruse a paper with a heading like that, for example,
which is presented to us at the very first page of this
quarterly number ? Here we have an article "On the
Source of the Carbon ar.d Nitrogen in Plants as derived
from the Soil !" Let us not be misunderstood in offering
this criticism. It is with great satisfaction we state
that we have never opened a number of this journal
without deriving both instruction and amusement from
it. We merely wish to express our conviction of
the universal value of popular papers with popular
titles : such, for example, as that which we find at p. 125
of the number before us ; "On the over-liming of Land, by
Henry Ch zyter, Esq , of Clervaux Castle, Darlington.'
A most admirable manual this is for regulating the ap-
plication of a most valuable but very caustic manure.
The paper " On Insects most injurious to Vegetables and
Animals, and the means best calculated to counteract
their ravages, by the Rev. James Duncan, M.W.5.,"
reaches its sixteenth chapter. We cannot find in the
present number any matter that seems well calculated
for being tramf!rred to our own columns : though we
doubt not that the practical farmer will study with ad-
vantage IV. T. Rowlandson's (of Liverpool) excellent
essay "On the Formation of Manure Heaps, and the
Econ nnising of Liquid Manures."

THE RAILWAY REGISTER.
The present number opens with the first of a series of
articles on railways in Ireland, which should be read
with attention by every legislator, statesman, and phi-
lanthropist. The writer goes into a minute considera-
tion of the peculiar evils of Ireland, and shows, from
authentic dccuments, that those evils are social rather
than political, that they are caused neither by ab-
senteeism nor by the exportation of protisions, but by
want of proper means to develop the natural resources
of the country among which the writer enumerates, as a
most important one, which has been strangely over-
looked by the Railway Commissioners, the fisheries. The
writer then goes on to observe—
" The only cure for the social miseries of Ireland
consists in the encouragement to industry. For this
purpose capital is absolutely necessary before a step
can be taken ;—capital to encourage production, and
capital to make roads for the conveyance of the produce
to proper markets. We care not much at which end the
application of this powerful agency is commenced. Per-
haps the proper beginning would be in the matter of
roads ;—for when they are made, comparatively l.ttle
capital would be sufficient to do something in the way
of production ; and that little would soon grow to more.
"The only wholesome inducement to the investment
of capital upon an extensive scale consists in the expec-
tation of a profitable return. That such return may be
obtained in Ireland has become too generally discre-
dited,—so much so that the English capitalist prefers
sending over small contributions in charity, to alleviate
the immediate pressure of extraordinary distress, to
risking more with a view to profit. With this impres-
sion, also, it has been the practice to make advances of
public money, in aid of local works in Ireland ; in our
opinion a most pernicious practice, as whilst the good
actually done is extremely small compared with what
the country requires, the very fact keeps alive the no-
tion, already too prevalent, that capital cannot be pro-
fitably employed in Ireland. This notion we arc sorry
to find pervading the report of the Railway Commis-
sioners, as will be seen by-and-by when we come to its
details. In the meantime it will be our anxious desire
to disabuse the public mind of a prejudice which we sin-
cerely believe to be as groundless as it is fatal in its
influence."

Le next day Merton proceeded from his residence to the
appointed spot. Emily was not true to her engagement. For
an hour he waited in expection of her coming—but she came
not. He was leaving the Park by the bridge across the Ser-
pentine river to retrace his .iiteps homewards when some
policemen, followed by a ragged crowd, emerged from the
house of the Royal Humane Society, bearing a human body
upon a board. Poor thing!' ejaculated an old woman who
formed part of the curious assemblage,' tired of her life, I dare
say.' The words arrested Merton's attention—he addressed
himself to the police-officers and begged to look upon the
face. His curiosity was gratified—Emily Bertram was the
hapless suicide !"
Madame de Crespigny's " Saint Silvester's Night,":is a
" Romance of likal Lite," the scene of which is laid in
the old Castle of Heidelberg, and the epoch dated from
no more remote period than ten years ago. "Charac-
teristics of Eqrly English Poets .(viz., Chaucer, Webster,
Quarles, and Chapman)," a pleasant paper enough.
The "Lover's Leap" and " Ehrenstein," are continued.
This number of Ainsworth is a very good one. We
hail with much satisfaeti:,n, the marked improvement in
the illustrated embellishments of:this periodical, which
commences this month, and is, we trust, like the frag-
mentary romances it contains, to " be continued in our
next." The " Black Penitent," in the present number,
is, in point both of design and execution, by far the best
thing we have seen in Ainsworth for a long time past.

GEORGE CRUIKSHAAK'S TABLE-BOOK.

" Oddities from the Rhine," the opening paper of the
present number, from the pen of Angus B. Reach, is
quite worthy of being illustrated by George Cruik-
shank, and this is the highest praise that can be bestowed
upon the productions of any comic writer. And most
gloriously has Cruikshank illustrated it, in his return
from a delightful trip to the Oontinent, where the party
are seen being conveyed in an open beat, " amidst the
peltings of the pitiless storm," from the Belgian packet
to Dover harbour. " Never trust to outward Appearances"
is a very good story, well told, and capitally illustrated ;
and " The Hermit of Vauxhall," by the Editor, is a
" right merrie" imitation of Goldsmith's " Edwin and
Angelina." We recommend the following to the atten-
tive consideration of all young ladies who fancy they
have a voice :

Having given a detailed account of the experiment
recently tried by Lord G. Hill, in the county of
Donegal, as a proof of the beneficial effect of capital and
good management up3n the social condition of the Irish
people, the writer concludes the present article in these
words

" If all the young ladies who sit down to a piano to
sing a song were to be taken at their words—that is to
say, at the words of the poet, which, for the time being,
they adopt as their own—much awkwardness might be
the consequence. If the invitations that are frequently
issued were to be literally accepted. we should have
people rushing to willow glens the day after an evening
party; or jumping into cabs and giving directions to the
cabmen to drive • where the aspens quiver," down by
the shining river,' whither they had been requested to
bring their guitar' by some syren of last night's soiree.
Four or five years ago it was customary to recommend a
whole roomful of company to hurry Away, away to
the mountain's brow and many of our readers wilt
recollect being intreated to ' leave the gay and festive
scene' considerably before supper, and to 'rove 'mid
forests green,' for the purpose of watching the lingering
ray ' that shoots from every star;' which, as the stars
happen to be innumerable, would have been a very end-
less business. To ask a gentleman to come and watch
the rays that shoot from every star, is almost as bad as
inviting him to come and count the five million addi-
tional lamps' at Vauxhall, a task under which even
Cocker must have fallen prostrate. The coolness with
which a request for a meeting by moonlight alone' is
frequently conveyed may be all very well in a crowded
room full of guests, but if the solitary interview were to
come off at the appointed hour, the strongest of female
nerves might be shaken. As the invitation is general,
any one present is at liberty to accept it, provided he
fulfil the condition of coming alone ; and if Spring-
heeled Jack should happen to overhear the song, he
might take into his head—and heels—to keep the ap-
pointment.
" Young ladies should be very careful in issuing notes
of invitation to a moonlight soirée, for they do not know
who may overhear them, and attend the rendezvous. The
Cock-lane Ghost, had he been living when the song of
Meet me by moonlight' was composed, would have been
a very likely sort of gentleman to be waiting 'in the
grove at the end of the vale,' for the purpose of bestow..
ing the sweet light of his eyes—glariug through two
holes in a turnip--upon any one who had asked for it.
" We must say, we prefer the present system of wri-
ting songs with no meaning at all, to the old method of
asking people to a moonlight gte-a-Vie, a meeting in
tranquil cot at a pleasant spot,' or a conversazione
' where the aspens quiver. You'll remember me,"
pledges you to nothing, unless a waiter sings it while you
nod your assent, and a promise to do something when
hollow hearts shall wear a mask' is certainly void, for
impossibility."
The other papers are all redolent of fun, and the
Table- book of this month will set full many " a table in

" We must not look at present, we fear, for many Irish
landlords to follow the wise and laudable example of
Lord G. Hill and in justice to this class, we must add
that we apprehend that under the existing laws relating
to landed property in Ireland, as in England (in Scot-
land it is not so) few of them would have the means,
even if they had the inclination, to undertake a similar
system of improved management. Three-fourths of the
property in Ireland is under strict entail or settlement,
which would prevent the present owners from borrow-
ing money, upon the security of their property, and
without money nothing can be done. The capitalist,
however, might still step forward and assist in working
the remedy, as a speculation on his own account, or
partly so ;—and the most gratifying results, we have no
doubt, would reward his public spirit. Dr. Kane assures
us that Ireland is not destitute, and points with seeming
pride and satisfaction to the fact, that upwards of two
millions of Irish capital is employed on English railroads.
We should be but too happy if we could convince the
owners, by the observations which we have yet to make,
that their capital might be as profitably employed in en-
couraging the industry of their own country."
We look forward with interest to the next paper by
this very able writer on this all-important subject. In
an excellent review of the Continental Railways, the
low price of Havre and Rouen shares, as compared with
Rouen and Paris shares, in consequence of reports that
have appeared from time to time respecting the defective
construction of the works on the Havre an Rouen line,
are made the occasion of introducing the following valu-
able remarks on the construction of lines of railway,
which we commend to the attentive perusal of every
holder of shares in lines not yet constructed :
" On the solidity and durability of the works con-
structed on a line of railway depend chiefly the patron-
age which that particular line shall receive from the
public. If the constructions are defective the traffic will
be decreased in proportion to the alarm thereby created
in the public mind, and a corresponding loss of revenue
will be the consequence. If the constructions are defec-
tive they will be continually demareling fresh expenses,
to repair those defections, and hence will arise another
loss of revenue. We need not add, that when a public
highway, such as railways have now become, gets into
disrepute from its defective construction or its defective
management, and the consequences of its loss of cha-
racier are daily depicted in the share list, that it is next
to impossible to roinfuse confidence into the public mind.
hence it is expedient, that whenever rumours prejudicial
to any particular line have currency among the public,
the directors should immediately institute an inquiry as
to the troth of those rumours, and if unfounded, give
them a circumstantial contradiction ; if well founded,
set about to rectify that which has produced them ; and
more still, to give every possible publicity to the contra-
diction or to the rectification, as the case may be. As
we have before said, the public are the patrons of rail-
ways, and their patronagewd-il ml always
proportion to the comfort and
means ns f sbaefety extended
they d ion-
rive in return ; therefore it is that, for the sake of the
shareholders, the public should have every means of
judging of the condition of any particular line, and how
far its construction and management are calculated to
meet those public wants which the railway system has
_mated, and must therefore supply. We have not yet

a roar."

TIIE BRITISH MAGAZINE.
The contents of the " Bridal" for the present month
are of 1 more varied range and interesting character
than the scope of a publication so largely devoted to pole-
mics usually embraces. The most important papers are
Modern Hagiology"—" The Morals of Armorial
Bearings"—" O the Restoration of the Jews to the
Land of Canaan"—" Judicial Committee of the Privy
Council"—" Mr. Ward's Secession to the Church of
Rome"—" Church of England in India"—" Rev. W.

CHURCH OF ENGLAND QUARTERLY RE-
VIEW, October. No. 36.
We, laymen, are not disposed to quarrel with the
somewhat overtinted orthodoxy which is the standard
ever flyiug at the mast-head of this able periodical, pro-
vided that we find, in friendly combination with it, the
flags of other nations of civilised literature. On this
account the expectations with which we open each new
" Manifest" of her quarterl) cargo are seldom disap-
pointed, Theology, divinity, and controversy of course
form the staple commodities of the cargo; but we are
sure to find sound ethics also, questions of social and
municipal policy, and occasionally ingenious, if not pro.
found speculations of natural philosophy. The enume-
ration we have now to report is a curiosity in its way—
and a very creditable one. Under " Scriptural Geo-
logy" we have a review of the Rev. Dr. Burton's " Lec-
tures on the Deluge and the World after the Flood,"
followed by a paper on that chaotic " amsis" of pseudo-
physico-geological common-places called " Vestiges of
Creation." But No. 3on the list delights us. The
generic designation of the thesis is " Mr. Oakeley and the
Claim to Hold." The exemplar selected for illustrative
criticism is " The Claim to Hold as distinct from
teaching, explained in a Letter to a Friend, by the Rev.
F. Oakeley, M.A., Fellow of Balliol College, Oxon."
This Tractarian pastor thus openly confesses to the im-
putation, that declining to comply with the command of
the " Good Shepherd," his Divine Master, '• Feed ye
my sheep," he yet prefers, with tenacious worldliness,
his own temporal demand, " Pay me my hire, though I
do not perform my work." Mr. Oakeley should have
graduated at Brazen-nose or Saint Peter's, rather than
at Balliol. Then we have an account of Professor Nord-
heimer's " Critical Grammar of the Hebrew Language."
There is, next, a somewhat dull paper on " Infant
Schools"—a very remarkable one on " Socialism in
France." The notice of the Duke of Manchester's new
work on Sacred and Profane Chronology is executed
with learning and candour. Mr. Ward's letter to the
Oxford Herald is made mince-meat of ; but a just and
fair discrimination is thus made in his favour, on a com-
parison of his disinterestedness with Mr. Oakeley's
" holding on" propensity:—
" But this very weakness of Mr. Ward should have
protected him from mach that has been said of him—
certainly from the charge of being actuated by motives
of gain. He may be weak, and little aware of his true
position with regard to ecclesiastical politics, but he is
not dishonest; worldly gain has, less than anything,
entered into his contemplation ; he has not for one I
moment been swayed by such crafty considerations."
Of the article headed " The Congress of Vienna," we
were at first tempted only to remark that we were
grieved to see so much ability and information
wasted on the chastisement of so ignorant and
clumsy a libeller of our national character as the
author of the " Rtes ft Souvenirs du Congas de
Vienne." It seemed, surely, to be doing too much
honour to a very disingenuous, if not an unprincipled
writs-r, to notice these fussy memoranda of his engage-
ments and his absurdities. And yet the anecdotes ex-
tracted from his pages into this very article are pre-
cisely those from which we can cull matter calculated to
amuse the general reader. But first, here is a vigorous
sketch of the action of the French Revolution by the
reviewer:—

" But the Congress assembled at Vienna had another
ask. They stood amid the ruins of Europe—amid
wrecks so great and confused that to attempt to form
out of them the original edifices of which they had been
a part, was beyond the power of man, inasmuch as it
appears to have been contrary to the will of God. It R
was in obedience to his e ill, and for the accomplishment
of Ills own wise purposes, that whatever the French Rey-
volution should touch, that object should straightwa _
