MAGAZINES-CONCLUDED.
NORTH OF ENGLA/TD MAGAZINE.

There is a judicious mixture of fancy and matter-
of-fact in this periodical, which professes to be a re-
cord of Politics,. Literature, Science and Art. " Pu-
seyism" is the first question discussed, and the dis-
cussion is pursued ten-ipaately, and not without force
of reasoning. The writer justly reMarits that the
doctrine has two aspects—a religious and a political
one ; that with the leading men who expound and
enforce it, its religious element is decidedly predomi-
nant; but that the currency which it has gained in
the community, and the material forces which it is
enabled to wield, are due mainly to its political ele-
ment. " Animal Magnetism in Practice" is a quaint
collection of rhymes, in some of which the reader will
detect something of Hood's manner. " Characteris-
tics of Manchester" is a description of this 'overgrown
town and its environs. The following is a pleasing
poem by Charles Swain :

With thee, dear Mother, still with thee—
For hearts no distance may divide !
And thought on Love's own wing can flee,
And place me ever by thy side:
I hear thy voice !—again we meet—.
again thy welcome form I see !
Oh, life bath not an hour so sweet,
As that I pass in thoughts of thee !

With thee, my Mother,—though I roam
This lone, cold world, from shore to shore ;
My heart can never find a home
Like that it loved with thee of yore I--
And wheresoe'er I turn my feet—
Whatever friends I yet may see,
Oh, life hath not an hour so sweet,
As that I pass in thoughts of thee !

METROPOLITAN.

The great blemish of this Number is its utter want
of variety. Tales—tales—nothing but tales, from the
first page to the last ! Now " partridges" are well
enough in their way, but " toujours perdrix"—as the
French adage has it—is a nuisance. We have ac-
tually not less than nine prose tabs, each good of its
sort, but none first rate. The best is the one entitled
the " Excommunicated," the scene of which is laid in
South Wales, in the picturesque neighbourhood of
Abergavenny, and the period when the leading events
are supposed to have occurred, is the reign of Henry
the Fifth. Next comes " Spencer Middleton, or the
Squire of: River Hill," scattered through which we
find several shrewd reflections on modern society.
There are a few passable scraps of poetry in the Num-
ber, and some impartial "Notices of New Books" at
the end,
