Editor of the Leicester Conservative Standard. Lon-

don : Whittaker and Co. Bvo. pp. 34g.
There is much pleasing poetry in this volume ; but
higher praise than this must be accorded. Many of the
ideas are origin:ll, and they are all expressed in language
at once energetic, chaste, and classical. We are chiefly
delighted with the descriptive poems ; snme of the meta-
phors contained in these are very striking and appropri-
ate. The versification throughout is very correct, and
the numbers harmonious. Our readers will find a speci-

A Topographical. Statistical, and Domestic History oir
France. by Mrs. Jamieson. London : Edwards ; 1836.

12mo. pp. 568.

We have in this truly entertaining book a description
of what France was, and what she is, in all her relations,
political and domestic. Ti►e revolutions which she has
ttbdergone, are here faithfully and dispassionately
narrated; and the various changes, imperceptible in
their operation, but visible in their effects, which her
people have passed through, are here minutely and ac-
curately traced to their sources. In addition to this, the
volume 'abounds with valuable statistical details, illustra-
tive of her various resources, her population, her mari-
time and military forces, and the productions of her soil.
We know of few volumes more suitable than the one
before us for a present to a young friend. Several beau-
tiful wood cuts are scattered through its instructive
pages.

" So reasons the Dissenter; so reasons the Irish Papist (but
no other Papist;) so reasons the prodigal; so reasons the infi-
del; so reasons the libertine. The first anticipate, from the use
of this argument, the liberation of their flock from all pay-
ments to the Clergy of another faith, and the direction of all
ecclesiastical dues to their own treasury. The second hope to
succeed, by its general adoption, in regaining the lost patri-
mony of St. Peter, and by the force of a clamour aotinst tithes
to the Protestant clergy, to restore their payment iu time to the
aomish priesthood. The coalesced herd of the last regard it
as the means of getting quit of all religious payments what-
ever, and establishing, as iu France, a state of society where
the pleasures of sensuality, or the dictates of passion, are unre-
strained by the inconvenient denunciations of judgment to
come." .

171:aver's Magazine. DN;ernher.
We have been highly' delighted with the perusal of
this number, and particularly with the merited castiga-
tion inflicted upon the flunky who perpetrated " The
Great 'Metropolis." Mr. Grant might well deprecate
the criticism of Fraser ; and it will be some time be-
fore he forgets the rotpzli handling which his silly pro-
duction has met with. We have only space to glance at
the principil contents of the number before us, which
we shall do after a somewhat novel fashion. We con-
dense our criticism upon each paper into a word or two.
" The Songs of Horace, from the Prout papers."—
Delectably rich.

- -
" The Statesmin," by John Galt.—Fraught with
utility and instruction.

" Oliver Yorke at Paris."—A highly interesting con-
versation with Chateaubriand on English Literature.
" The Radicals, the Dissenters, and the Papists."—
Pre-eminently caustic.
" Sir Egerton Bridges to Oliver Yorke."—Abounds
with original thoughts, tersely expressed.
" A Sing of S Atude."—Troki pery trash. We are.
ashamed that a Welshman should have been guilty of
perpetrating such miserable nonsense.
- " The Remembrances of a Monthly Nurse."—We
doubt the propriety of giving publicity to such narratives.
" Crichton."—An admirable review.

" Epistles to the Literati."—We delight in these—
they form a species of auto biography.
" December Sonnets."—We quote the latter of these.
" A merry Christmas soon comes round again.
What have we done since Christmas last? God knows !
So does the Devil,—for the world still goes
Rolling about in the old-fashioned strain.
But, Palmerston, what next? The Queen of Spain
You've dished, and Molly Portugal is done—
Thanks to your lordship. Nesselrode makes fun
Of your bright missives urged by Durham's brain.

[" I forget the day of the month, but it must be coming on
for December."]

Dublin University Magazine. December.
We are glad to perceive this talented periodical
rising,,from month to month, in public estimation. The
valuable services which it has already rendered to the
cause of conservatism, has, no doubt, chiefly contributed
to its increasing popularity. But, independently of its
claims as a powerful anxiliary in the promotion of loyal
and constitutional principles, it has others—and those of
no ordinary 'kind—in a literary point of view. In this
respect it need not fear a comparison with any of its
elder contemporaries. It fully equals them in the
variety—the interest—the ability—the moral purity—
the humour—the pathos—and the learning of its several
articles.

The present number is, if possible, more varied and
interesting than any of its predecessors. Let us glance
at the contents.

Now it is utterly untrue that the " reformers," as the
men of the movement are termed, were either indifferent
as to making claims, or negligent in the revision. They
displayed their accustomed activity ; and the best advo
cafes they have were specially retained and sent from
place to place to support on the one hand, and strike off
on the other. If any evidence were needed of their
zeal, it is to be found in the amount of thc spurious
claims sent in. Alit no; there was no want of a dispo-
sition to fight, but there is a great and increasing falling-
off in the means of warfare ; that is to say, in the ma-
terials out of which whig.radical voters are made.
In Leeds a very solemn and amusing farce is going on
relative to the representation of the borough.
The rampant radicals have fixed their revolutionary af-
fections upon Sir Wm. Molesworth, the rejected of East
Cornwall that is to be, and although their acquaintance
with that politically-mad baronet is only of the newspa-
per sort, they declare that they will ferce the whigs to
take him by the hand, or split off and permit a couple of
conservatives to come in. The genuine whiggamores of
the party are desperately angry at being coerced into
spending money for the purpose of placing Sir John
Bkett at the head of the poll, and making an exhibi-
tion of whig weakness and truckling. But the radicals
are to be blinded and tricked. Ward meetings have been
held, at•which Molesworth has been vociferously nomi-
nated and approved of, in conjunction with Mr. Baines,
if, as the latter himself phrases it, no better or more in-
fluential man can be found in his stead. On Tuesday there
is to be a meeting of ward delegates, when the question
is to be submitted to another test. After that it will be
urged that the sense of the constituency ought to be ta-
ken ; and a sham canvass will be made, "two or one,"
but only one of the two will be named, and the canvass
would mean nothing were it even proSecuted bona fide,
which will not be the case. The process is simply one
of staving off; a scheme for humbugging the radicals,
who, generally speaking, lash themselves to the whig
car, and, as they are trailed through the mud, make a
great noise and persuade themselves that they are dicta-
tors instead of tools.

It is probable, however, that there will be a contest;
vet it can only be between whiggery and radicalism. Sir
John Beckett will be at the head of the poll again, but
with a larger majority than 138, his majority on the last
occasion.

As to Sir William Molesworth, he must be silly in-
deed to come here with the certainty of being compelled
to effect a precipitate retreat after the manner of Mr.
William Brougham.—Leeds Intelligencer.

Since Saturday se'nnight there has been less activity in the trade
generally than was previously noted, and at Friday's market pur-
chases of both Wheat and Oats might have been made oh easier tennst
at the same time, there did not appear any desire to press sales.—
Oatmeal has gone off slowly at 36s to 37s per 2-101iss.—Small parcels of
grinding Barley have been taken at 5s to 5s 3d 4f/ Wats : the market is
hare of finer qualities.—Little or no change in the value of Beans or
Peas.—There have been inquirl. a for bonded Wheats, but there are
few sellers at the present rates.
