LITERARY REVIEW.

Frazer's Magazine, November.

This number accomplishes more than merely supports the character
of the Magazine. We think it superior to the two last—and a few words
on Its contents will explain our reasons for so thinking. The political
articles are more temperate, and less of the mannerism of party in
them, than we have formerly observed in the political articles
of this miscellany. All may be read with advantage and plea.
sure, whatever be the favourite opinion of the reader. The
first Essay on " Mr. Godwin's Novels," we think an able spe-
cimen of philosophical criticism. " Thoughts on llistory" is like-
wise a paper replete with original and profound reflections. " Bar-
tholomew Fair" is an amusing article—and equally so is " A Dozen
Nuisances of London," by Sir Morgan O'Doherty. The des-
cription of the " Town of Guelph in Upper Canada," ac-
companied by a plate, is from the pen of Mr. Galt, the
founder of the said town, and will be read with much interest b,)
all who, like ourselves, favour the policy of encouraging emigration. The
" Sock and the Buskin" is an essay on the present state of the histri-
onic art, and.well written, although we do not accord witb its critical
dicta, on the merits of Miss Kenible, or the disputes of her father.
The portrait of the author of " Waverly" is interestir.g, if correct,
but we hope, as it makes Sir Walter look so " auld farrant," th.it it
may be a little in the extreme. We shall quote a little from our ft lend
O'Daherty's " Nuisances of London."

NUISANCES OF LONDON.
HT ♦ PEDESTRIAN.

GAS IN ALL. IMAPM
A man of the name of Winsor has dial lately. and a great splutter
was set up in the newspapers, shoot the hard measure dealt to him in
not having his claims to be the imintor of ttas•lights duly acknow.
faked. I hope the poor man has not gone to a region illuminated ac.
r trding to his patent ; but, if he has. it is a sell-merited fate. They
t.•II me, that the wrests are better lighted. They may be so n. vet
bit any inconvenience from their tinnier comparative obscari y. But
that is the sole advantage of the gaseous 'lsom, if it be one ; in every
other point of view gas-lighting is a nuisance. Go where you wilt. you
AM poisoned by the smell. An odour bursts forth every now and then_
at the theatre, for example—which would knock down a horse. In the
streets, you arc oppressed by a miasma, that invades you down to the
bottom of your fauces, exciting a preternatural thirst. In a house,
where the inhabitants are so ill.advised as to use gas-lights. you are in
a complication of horrors The machinery is never in order. Out go
Al the lights of the house at a whiff, leaving you, from attic to cellar,
in Cimmerian darkness—some cockney wag having turned off the ;
t,r the lights keep dancing and winking, with a sort of hiccupy ittottutt,
owing to some derangement in the valves; or an awkward servant. v :th
to.) liberal a finger, lets loose a volume of flame that puts you itt
of Vesuvius, and extorts a panic-cry for fire-engines !or a tube burst,
r leaks, or fizzes, and you are poisoned with a smell, to which that of
the Augean stable must have been perfume !
In clubs, hotels, taverns, and other places where people reed, there
ought to be a special act of Parliament to forbid them. They actually
destroy the taste of the dishes. It is said that the gas poisons the slab
in thr rirsr ; of that I cannot speak; but I know, that it destroys its
flavnur on the table.

ELECTIONS, AND PUBLIC MEETINos.
These things—fares, as his Highness calls them—happily occur
places where eivlliz itio or comfort is not expected t) exist—tlosant
Garden, Smithfield. Sastieiti, foil:et:ly, Kennington Caiiitnoii„ClerLeu..

rot be more odious? Here two fehows bawl against one another to be
ale-Conner, or coroner, or church ward n. or mule other trash, ant!
Vote for Figgins !" or. Vote for Wigg:st. !" is thrust down
throat at every earner.—" Make way for an el-cant !" is cried by a inei-

candidate, sir !—Magna chart* ! Bill of rights !—Freedom of tho

The honour of the county !—No radicals !" &c. ac stun you on all
sides. If you declare, you have no interest on either side, you ruts a
chance of being beaten by both.
