through and marked various passages for next week

is richly instructive the and topics of the
day. IA which the lyrans, Jelachich, and Austria are
so prominent See the account which send You OF the
Corypheus of the Hungarian struggle. An article de-
voted TO the Memoirs of Mde. de Maintenon, by the
Duke de Noalles, heretofore mentioned in the Living
Age The work is warmly commended, as It deserves,
Tor matter STYLE tone and general texture and colorng
CoquerePs History Of the Protestant Churches IN The Des-
eat is cursorily and favoraby noticed The revie wer
dwels on the exposition of the Revocation OF the
Edict OF Nantes, which nearly fills the second volume of
the Duke de Noales and possesses original historical
value he third article is sensible survey OF the book
of M Theirs PROPERTY of which, happily the greater
portion would be deemed quite rudmental and unneces-
sary in the United States. The in Europe at
cle Of number of the ReUe worth TRANSACTIONS they
exhibit French affairs under impressive points of survey;
regret expressed that of the chiefs and journals of
the moderate party have raised the standard of Louis Ma
poieon II condemns the too common calculation that he
will extnguish the republic and thus be the instrument,
destroying himself at the time, of the final restora-
ton of monarchy The chronicler supposes that Cav
agnac might yet arrange with Theirs and the moderate
associations terms such as would engage them on his
side but they have, within the few days past gone
Tar Tor any compromise.

ported 10 the house that he had lent fourteen hundred
thousand francs TO thtyfour associations, all that he
could deem OF good promise out OF four hundred and
forty several applications. The Assembly RENTED all
legal charges the loan transactions, but voted that
fUe per cent should be required all lent above
twenty five thousand rancsupon the ground that indi-
vdua enterprises should not be subjected TO dsadvan-
tages, this being the market rate for them Socialism

a lively sensation The provisional government, as in
