The number Of arrivals at Boston, from foreign

was 2T5, from Pictou; the next largest, l3l, from
Halifax the third, lis, from Liverpool. From Cal
cutta, the arrivals were 81; from the ports OF the
British Islands, exclusive OF Liverpool, liz; from
those of the Mediterranean, Adratic, and Levant

same class, though not exactly in geographical line
with them) 1856; about 100 from South America y

thousand fishing vessels, and wood lime, and lumber
coasters. 1t contains only such arrivals as arc re-

awful blast from H,,us Magazine for appointing
Mr.. Mayo to the place. The joke of the thing was,

holds good of most coalition ofice-hoders. Some

Our periodicals for January are not above the
average dulness. The best Of them, Of course, Is
Brownson's Quarterly" the Utramontane organ
/ the best mean in point of ability, for in all other
respects it is st. Dominck concern and should
have the head OF Torquemba for its frontspece. 1t
is thoroughly arrogant overbearng, and savage ex-
pressing the utmost contempt for everything except
/ the head and pastors of the Church Professionalism,
the present number declares, lis diabolical move
ment nstgated by the devil in his ceaseess warfare
against the Eternal and there many similar
sugar plums, calculated TO sit pleasantly on Protes
tant stomachs; and to promote Christian harmony
and brotherly love. In apologetical note at the
close OF this number, Mr.. Browason ngeniously
tives TO insult pretty nearly all his readers by
supercous display OF that pride which apes hui
mility. As long he says, las we can secure the
appreciation and lose not the confidence, of the pas
tors OF the Church, content The approba-
ton Of the Catholic clergy is well worthy of being
had but that any man should express himself
thus servley is einnently calculated to secure for
him the bdsest place among the base. The past, he
continues u the only guarantee he can give OF the
future This is rich, coming, as il does, IRON man
who has boxed the compass Of religion and politics
often, and gyrated 50 wonderfully that the head
becomes dizzy in thinking of it. II is striking in
stance Of the redeeming power Of talent that in
spite OF all this arrogance and impudenee,
there are few publications more readable than
the Boston Qpmtaiy. 1t peryerts history. and is
either ignorant regardless Of the truth, to
make General Cavaignac head OF the French repub
lie at the time Of sending French army TO Rome TO
restore the Pope which was the work OF Louis Ma
polcons government: yet il discusses matters well,
and with so much vivacity, that feels pleasure
IN reading it-smilar to that experienced when
perusing the lively memoirs of that ornament of the
nobility, Baron Munchausen, or those Of that adnra-
bic follower OF the and his own iancies, Sinbad.
