The English Ministry. An interesting article on
the Rural Economy OF Great Britain and Ireland
continuation OF the Story Of the Campaign; and
other papers of equal merit.
The Westminster ReUie,c, for January, has
also been received. The following is the Table
Of Contents:
1.-THE Anglo. French Alliance; Ballads Of the
PEOPLE: Prussia and Pru.sian Policy The Prn-
zenraub-a Glimpse OF Saxon History; Poland
Her History and Prospects; Cambridge University

New volumes of the four Reviews and Black
