THE LITERARY MESSENGER.

The number Of the Messenger for the present
month, is one OF uncommon interest and ability.
whilst 1t contains sixteen pages more matter than
usual. The opening article is on "the Panama
Railway and the Cult of Mexico" which, though
1t has no name nor initial attached bears internal
evidence that it is from the pen of Lieut. nj. r.
Nlaury, U. n II is in his best style and abounds
IN many striking and original views. There are
few who can read it, without confessing an en-
largement of mind, as they take in his mastery
and comprehensive views of physical geography,
and of commerce as dependent upon the configu-
ration and position of seas, the length and direc-
lion OF rivers, his comparison of the Medierra.

Of the whale fishery and the necessity Of the
Panama Railway TO lis full development II is
production of sustained ability throughout, and
we have seen nothing from bis pen better calcu-
lated to impress one with the extent of his genius
We are not able to particularze the various
articles. The letter of the Messengers Paris cor
respondent is good, as all bis letters are
We have another contribution from the pen of the
author of "Gimpses at Europe" called "A Day
in Dalarne," in which the peculiar traits of Swc
dish scenery are wildly portrayed.
The Messenger deserves, in a high degree. the
patronage ofthe public. Mr.. Thompson conducts
it with equal taste, discretion and ability.
