BENTLEY'S _MISCELLANY.
Albert Smith's romance, " The Marchioness de Brin-
villiers," increases in intersity of interest as it draws
near to a conclusion. The guilty Marchioness, at the
instigation of her paramour-, Saint Croix, poisons both
her brcthers. Saint Croix, who has endeavoured to
cheat the physician from wilom they obtained the
poison, is himself poisoned by, the Italian, and it is not
until after the death of St. Croix that the wretched
-physician discovers that be has killed his own son.
On the death of St. Croix his effects are seized by the
authorities, and among the rest a cabinet which is
claimed by the Marchioness as her property. It is
opened, and found to contain various preparations of
poison. She hastens to her own residence, knowing that
the police have possession of the cabinet, and at this
interesting summit the story breaks off for the
present number. Mrs. Mathews continues her
sketches of ennobled actresses, and gives us the
short but entertaining biography of the Countess of
Craven (Miss Brunton) and Lady Thurlow (Miss Bol-
ton). The outpourings of D. Canter consist of a series
of amusing reminiscences of poor Power, and the subject
of the literary retrospect of ,:.he departed great is John
Galt. The Gaol Chaplain continues his dark pages from
"Life's Volume." We must confess, however, that we
prefer the story of the bright pages of life, and there-
fore are under infinite oblietutions to Alfred Crowquill
for introducing us to his atent, " a good-natured wo-
man," one of the most simple-minded and kindest-
hearted of creatures. It a sketch not unworthy of
Goldsmith. Paul Prendergast introduces us to a dan-
gerous character, Mr. Thwailes. Imagine a man
aping in decent society, at the present day, the intoler-
able and disgusting brutaliti es of old Sam. Johnson, and
imagine Paul Prendergast s:itetching adventures of such
a man, and, good reader, you may form some idea
of the treat that is in store for yon. Bentley
eschews politics ; neveraheless, in the present
Number, there is a short address to the gentlemen of
England, which is more worthy the attention of those to
whose care the destinies of this great nation are con-
fided, than all the p'litical articles which have appeared
in all the magazines for the last twelve months. It oc-
cu. s at the conclusion of an interesting narrative, en-
titled, " A Press-gang Hero," a narrative founded in
fact, by Robert Postans. Thus does Mr. Postans ad-
dress the gentlemen of Englat d :
" A word to the Gentlemen cf England who live at home
at ease.' You cannot be igeorent that powerful rivals are
striving to overmateh you on that element yeu fondly call
your own. Think yea not that there are many more old sea-
men along your coast who h tve similar tales of neglect and
wrong to recount to younger raarieers? Know you not there
are thousands, and their warning voices perchance has influ-
enced them to adopt a service irz every respect opposed to yours,
and may affect the manning of your ships at the present hour.
Let the truth be told. Seamen will not enter the navy they
shirk it—it takes months in these• times of peace, with a luxury
of sailors, to man a ship of war. They prefer the American to
the British marine ; and why ? because the pay is better, and
the service made more palatable. This is not a flattering ex-
ponent of the spirit which your mariners bear towards the
navy. Be wise in time ; and remember that one decisive vic-
tory over a British fleet would be more destructive to you than
the loss of a score of Waterloos P nay, your seamen have been so
used to victory, that a drawn battle, ship for ship, and gun for
gun, would be a triumph to your foe, and a defeat to you. You
cannot afford to lower the prestige of your flag ; if your seamen
are not invincible, the world must not know it. There is po-
licy in making the fox's skin piece out the lion's hide.
" You have lieutenants sufficient to man a stout fleet of line-
of-battle ships on your half-pay list, and admirals and captains
enough to officer all the navies in the world. Ships—noble
ships you have in profusion ; but seamen—the muscles and
bones to put all these vast resources in motion—are not to be
found. The inference is plain. Jack feels himself neglected,
and seeks employment where he is better treated. Be assured
the seaman of the list war is an altered man—he is changed with
ihe times the thoughtless beings who fought so valiantly for
you in the last war will not readily be found again. The days
of frying watches and eating bank-notes between slices of bread
and butter are gone, and are only remembered now as so much
yarn.
" Endeavour to make the service popular by increased pay,
and comfort to the seamen ; let him feel he is protected, and
he will protect you ; he will be, as he always has been, the van
of your vanguard. Be wise in time then, gentlemen of Eng-
land, or peradventure the hazards of some future war may
make it a difficult matter for you to live at home at ease. "
Now, we know, from our own personal knowledge,
that every word here stated is true. Seamen will not
enter the British navy so long as the Americans offer
them better pay, better treatment, and better chance of
promotion. The price of labour is regulated like that of
every other commodity, by the demand. In callings in
which the supply exceeds the demand, our Legislators
(who are at the same time all employers) are willing
enough to admit and act upon the truth of this doctrine.
Let them also acknowledge its truth in the case of the
navy—there the demand for able-bodied seamen exceeds
the supply, and to obtain that supply the employers
must pay the price. Let then the Government look to
it in time, that should a war come it may not find us
unprepared. Awful will be the reckoning to which the
country will bring those who by their want of precaution
and by their penny-wise and pound-foolish economy shall
destroy the preilige of invincibility which has hitherto
always attached to the British navy.

DUBLIN UNIVERSITY MAGAZINE.
The first paper in this Number, "Peel's Policy to-
wards Ireland," is an attempt to run a parallel between
the policy adopted by two premiers respectively (the
interval of just a century elapsing between their adminis-
trations) towards Ireland. The systems of the two Sir
Roberts, it is contended, is identical in principle—varied
only as to the means resorted to for carrying it into ex-
ecution. This system is described to be the government
of Ireland through " the instrumentality of under-
takers." The " undertakers' employed by Walpole
were the Protestant aristocracy of that country. The
" undertaker" relied on by Peel are its Roman
hierocracy.
" There must be on both sides concession as well as claim.
Undertakers, if they do a Minister's work, will require a reeom •
oenee ; and the man in office, who needs their instrumentality
to effect his own ends, must, in turn, lend himself as an instru-
ment to accomplish the encls they insist on."
Allowing for a great deal of political prejudice, and
that false colouring in which it rejoices, this paper is
one of considerable talent, a rttl extremely little candour.
" Jerusalem," a review of ‘‘ The Holy City," by the
Rev. Geo. Williams, M.A., late Chaplain to Bishop
Alexander, at Jerusalem (L ord Parker), is made the
vehicle for a tedious and vithal very unsatisfactory
topographical disquisition. The " Antholegia Ger-
manica," of which we have, 'here, the twenty-first paper,
contains one or two translati ens of not very favourable
specimens of the singular genius of Heinrich Heine.
From the " Zeitgediehte" of ,Freiligrath, on the other
hand, we have a noble lyric " On the Execution of
Don Diego Leon," shot in Spain, in 1841, by order of
Espartero. It is tAso long for extract, and too good for
abridgment. From .so:•ne stanzas by Baron Zedlitz,
entitled " The Midniglst Iteview," we give that which
stands Number ILL
" And when midnight s nibes the sky,
The Emperor leave s his tomb,
And rides along, surrounded by
His shatiowy Staff, through the gloom.
" A silver afar so bright
Is glittering on his 1-, Breast;
In an uniform of blue a ..nd white
And a gray

As the .I,`ln with the glittering silver star

Of blackness war' is the skies.

The Generals and I Marshals throng ;

In popular tales may pit ;s for true,

The next pt ..per is an a 51y- ex ecuted summary and re-
view of Dudley Costello's ‘• Tour through the Valley of
the Meuse, with the Lege, ids of the Walloon Country
and the Ardennes," Tilts is certainly one of the most
charming bJoks of the s. Cason, and although, in ad-
dition to the perusal we h ave given to the work, we
have read some hull-doze- a critical notices of it, we
rise from this paper with reece.% ed and confirmed im-
pressions of the singular ab :Ind power of this grace-
ful writer. The other arfii lee of this Number of the

One would have thought ti, at the character of Cicero,
after a lap,:e of nineteen c en tnries, had been esta-
blished beyond the possibilit- vof a doubt, and that all his
frailties, including his vani: ,y, his want of candour and
courage, and his revengeful aiso‘sition when victorious,
had become familiar to ever r cimssi;:al reader. Our re-
specti d and accomplished . friend, " Morgan Rattler,"
however, thinks otherwise, and he has therefore consi-
dered it necessary to write a very interesting, though a
rather partial article in dri ming *Manua between the
