THE- NEW LONDON MAGAZINE.

This is the fourth appearance of this new candidate
for public favour, which is an agreeable melange of useful
and entertaining information. We would commend
" The Bachelor's Encyclopaedia of Practical Economy"
to the attentive perusal of all you.;g men beginning the
world. The present paper propounds the art of living
upon 701. a year, and shows clearly how it may be ac-
complished. The lovers of fun will be delighted with
Obadiah Goosequill, and Mr. Tippletoddy, while gossip-
ing with the olden poets, will introduce many a reader
for the first time to one of the most brilliant wits of the
Court of Charles 1., and at the same time one of our
most elegant lyric poets, Sir John Suckling. There is a
great deal of.pleasant reading in the .New London Ma-
gazine.

SPORTING MAGAZINE.
Harry Hie'over continues his valuable treatise on
" Educating Horses," and takes occasion to go into the
subject of education generally, and treats it in a very
philosophical manner. Take the following as a ape_
cimen . _

" One of the most material things in teaching men, chil-
dren, or brutes, is to make them perfectly understand what
it is we want of them, and this I suspect is not always done
in either case. Children, lam satisfied, are often punished
from our fancying them unwilling or obstinate, when, in
truth, their not completing their task arises from our fault in
not making them comprehend it : with horses I am quite
certain this is a matter of hourly occurrence. We are too
apt to fancy that easy which we know ourselves, forgetting
that A B is as difficult to learn as a first lesson as solving the
most difficult problem of Euclid is at a maturer ago or in
more advanced education."
It would be well that all engaged in the business of
instruction should keep this observation constantly in
mind. The illustrations to this number are " Clipping,"
engraved by Engleheart, from a picture by Turner, and
a view by Beckwith of the "Hunting Lodge of Queen
Elizabeth, Epping Forest."

THE CITIZENS OF PRAGUE. -- Mary Howitt, a
writer whose works have attained extraordinary popularity,
has just brought before the public another of those charming
fictions with which her name has become identified. In in-
terest, " The Citizens of Prague" far exceeds any of its pre-
decessors,
pefrsr,aancde
she stylesofthis Mrs.
irs.p , a noble Hewitt w ittislework,
fullysoimpressed, that
in the
and
an honour
to human nature." The hero is a very remarkable cha-
racter, who made a great figure in the last century; but
with novel readers the chief features of his very picturesque
and romantic story will be the animated picture it contains
of the Court of the celebrated Empress Maria Theresa
this illustrious lady and
her equally eminent Minister.
Kaunitz, playing distinguished parts in the narrative,
"The Citizens of Prague" will enable the English reader to
draw an interesting comparison between this noble-minded
Sovereign and his own, in which he will meet with some very
singular coincidences.
SERIOUS ACCIDENT AT CovE.—On Sunday night,
at the hour of eight o'clock, as Captain Bennie, of the Prin-
cess Royal transport, was going down the "Holy Ground,"
on his way to the boat that was to have conveyed him to his
ship, he took one of those narrow and tortuous paths that
lead down to the Strand, when, melancholy to relate, he had
scarce proceeded more than a few steps, when, from the im-
passable state of those footways, which are always dangerous
to those who venture by them, and particularly so to those
unaccustomed to them, he was precipitated among the rocks
and stones beneath. Captain. B. received several injuries
and is dangerously hurt, but we are happy to say hopes are
entertained of hie recovery.—Corp Examiner.
