THE LONDON MAGAZINE.

This periodical has reached us so uncon-
scionably late in the day (12 o'clock) that we
have little or no time left to speak decisively,
either in its praise or blame. From what little
we can glean ; it seems to consist chiefly of Re-
views—one of which, Lady Morgan's late Novel,
is well and impartially written. " Th; Annuals,"
is a good analysis of a stale subject ; the past
year is already dead, and some one or two of the
" Annuals" are, we fear, in the same condition.
We may revert perhaps to the " London Maga-
zine," or at any rate, extract from its columns,
at some future opportunity.

while the pulse of being beats high to the
fond tune of " Home, sweet home," rendered
still more endearing by the certainty that it can
never be revisited: The first article in this num-
ber is marked by strong reasoning- mid a perfect
knowledge of the subject. It combats, and we
think successfully, the "claiin of the East India
Company to the right of imposing takes without
limitation." Nothing can be more monstrous
than the assumption of such power by people
who are in fact irresponsible in a great
degree for the consequence of their acts.
We know, that an immense Eiiipire like
India must be governed by another fa-
shion to what prevails at home ; but then we
think that the feelings and.the prejudices of the
people should be at least. consulted before the en-
forcement of measures of such questionable utility.
That their tendency, nay, their very spirit, is
ai+itrary, Must be freely admitted; but cannot
the Indian rulers of the present day, if they must
introduce obnoxious measures, take a lesson
from the examples of the past, and learn to tread
more lightly upon the i qprests of that mighty
population, who are onl' iettrained from action
by ignorance of their own power. The Stamp
Act lost us America—is it prudent to en-
danger the Eastern world by a second display
of obstinacy, merely because the Directors will
have it so ? An empire, like India, founded on
opinion, should not be tampered with. The
prize is too valuable to be risked : conciliation
should, therefore, be the leading principle of our
Government, from which the people will - derive
increased benefit, and our power additional se-

curity.
We have not room for extract, nor of a de-
tailed criticism of the several articles, but their
general tenour is good—i❑ many parts excellent.
