THE 'MAGAZINES.

LONDON NI AI; A ZU:E.

In their address to the public, append
the Editors to the pt c:,ent ninnbcr of this Aiaga-
vine, svc perceive that they lay great stress on
its useful and practical character, and seem
anxious to tread in the steps of the Westminster
Review. We congratulate them upon their
spirited endeavours to render their publication
serviceable, but should be sorry to find that in
their wish to do so, they had overlooked enter-
tainment, which, after all, is the first thing ex-
pected in the light pages of a perishable pe-
riodical. The Silk Question, in the present
number, is a homely argumentative article, from
the pen apparently of 11. writer well read in his
subject, and who has made it matter for fre-
quent serious and enlarged reflection. We re-
commend it to the attention of those who are
versed in time details of the subject; to others,
it will, we fear, be found obscure and uninterest-
ing. " Arrivals at a Watering Place" is a
lively poem, hitting off in a satirical but tempe-
rate strain, the follies, the advantages, and the
peculiar character of these places of fashionable
autumnal resort. We subjoin a specimen :
I play a spade :—such strange new flee;
Are flocking in from near and far :
Such frights—Miss Dobbs holds all the aces,—
One can't imagine who they are!
The lodgings at enormous prices,
New donkeys, and another fly;
And Madame Bonbon out of ices,
Although we're scarcely in July:
M'e're quite as sociable as any,
But our• old horse can hardy crawl ;
And really where there are so many,
We can't tell where we ought to call.
Pray who has seen the odd old fellow
Who took the Doctor's house last week ?
A pretty chariot,—livery yellow,
Almost as yellow as his cheek :
A widower, sixty-five, and surly,
And stiffiT than a poplar-tree;
Drinks ruin and water, gets up early
To dip his carcass in the sea :
He's always in a monstrous hurry,
And always talking of Bengal ;
They say his cook makes noble curry ;
I think, Louisa, we should call.
And so Miss Jones, the mantua-maker,
Ma let her cottage on the hill ?
The drollest man, a sugar-baker,—
Last year imported from the till:
Prates of his crses and his vary,
Is quite in lone with fields and farms;
A horrid Vandal,—but his money
Will buy a glorious coat of arms :
Old Clyster makes him take the waters :
Some say he means to give a ball ;
And after all, with thirteen daughters,
1 think, Sir Thomas, you might call.
That poor young man !—l'm sure and certain
Despair is making up his shroud :
Ile walks all night beneath the curtain
Of the dim sky and mirky cloud :
Draws landscapes,—throws such mournful glances!—
Writes verses,—has such splendid eyes ;
An ugly name,—but Laura fancies
He's some great person in disguise !
And since his dress is all the fashion,
And since he's very dark and tall,
I think that, out of pure compassion,
I'll get papa to go and call.

" A Visit to the Court of Madagascar" furnishes
the reader with some curious details respecting a
late trip to that country, and an interview with
its Sovereign. These details arc more novel
than interesting or important, for the scene of
action is so far removed from England, and re-
gards so comparatively uncivilized a country,
that our attention can scarcely be roused. " The
DLowncd" is a sensible and impartial review of
this last novel by the author of " Pelham,”—a
woil; which has much merit, and in some in-
stances, originality both of conception and exe-
cution. " Diary for the month of December,"
the plan of which is already familiar to the pub-
lic, has much desultory and pertinent observa-
tion, more especially as regards the Theatres,
and the new piece of Charles the Twelfth, to
which only bare justice is done when the writer
observes of it, " The first act of this piece is
admirably conceived, exceedingly well written,
and transcendantivacted." " The Editor's Room"
is of the usual calibre of Magazine articles.
