would excuse MIR. ODowD from any further con-
| tributions to Btdck,oood. Like THOMAS CARLYLE
he is perpetual scold, with this exception, how
ever that CARLYLE is man of genius, and always
worth reading, while o'DowD is always common
| place, and very seldom repays perusal.
| Next comes very beautiful lyrical ballad
| somewhat in the style Of HEINE-"PRAxrTELEs
and PHRYNE, which we reproduce on our fourth
page to-day.
s.The Progress CT the Question" is the title OF
long political article, review Of the history of the
Reform Bill just passed, .ani Of the relations OF
the Tory party to the question OF Reform. Ihls
paper follows up, as it were, MIR. DIsRAELIs re-
cent speech in Parliament, attempting to snow
that tho Tory party always was in sympathy with
tho people and in favor OF progress, and that noW
after many years of Misrepresentation, 1t mas
once moro been enabled to take its proper posi-
tion.
The magazine concludes with necrologue on
Sir ARCHIBALD ALLISON. The tribute is paid by
loving hand. The late historian was frequent
contributor to Maga during the past half century
AS il to corroborate the statement mado above,
that the Tories are the true friends OF tho people,
we find here that Sir ARCHIBALD ALIJsoN, the
staunchest of High Tories, the impersonation of
conservatism, was followed to his grave by over
1OO, 900 Of the Glasgow working people:
The concourse of the citizens of Glasgow at his
funeral was great proof Of the respect and affec-
tion with which he had inspired them From POS
s Gate (hls residence, two miles from the town. TO
the railway station, the whole way was lined with
to 15O, 600. OF these, who numbered hall the
working population Of the city, at least three
fourths were artisans, mill girls and iron foundry
workers, swarthy with toll. These were the at
tendants who, at the sacrifice of some OF their
means Of livelihood assembled to pay last res
poet to the most unbending Conservative in Great
Britain. Such obsequies were honorable both to
the dead and the living. They were tribute to
qualities the recognition OF which is public vir-
tue; tribute the more welcome as rendered at
time when courage and consistency seem almost
out of date and when there ole many sigrs that
in the public men of tho future VIC arc likely to
feel more and more the want OF the manly and
generous spirit which to the last animated Allison.

We are indebted to Mr.. JOHN RUSSELL for
copy Of this new proof Of the fertility Of Mrs.
MUNDr's quasi historical muse. Mrs. Ms works
are beginning to assume the proportions of IL
brary. The APPLEToNs have now the following OF
her books in print: l. Marie Antoinette 2. Louisa
of Prussia and Her Time. 8. Henry VIII. and
Catharine Parr. S. Frederick the Great and His
Family. s. Joseph II. and His Court. g. Frede-
rick the Great ami His Court. T. The Merchant
OF Berlin, and 8. Berlin and Sans-Souci.
Tho volume before us is the first one which is
not furnished with the translator's name. What
is the matter2 The admirers Of the authoress
will be pleased TO learn from the following
paragraph which we find in one of our exchanges,
that she is about to pay the United States
visit:
This celebrated German I.ovelist whose works
the APpLEToNs are now presenting to the Ameri-
can public, intends to make lecturing tour
through the United States. she will be accompa-
MED on this occasion by her youngest daughter,
girl of fourteen. Her eldest daughter, very
pretty young lady OF eighteen, is actress at the
Royal Theatre of Cassel. LOUISA MUHLBAoH or
rather, CLARA MUNDT, the former namo being her
nom de plume, is now fifty-three years old, and a
lady of considerable embonpoint. In 1862 the King
of Prussia presented her with the large gold medal
usually given TO authors and artists Of tho highest
merit. He told her, on giving her the medal,
which was fixed in handsome golden bracelet, he
hoped shu would wear it on all festive occasions;
but when the authoress Of Louisa Of Prussia and
Frederick the Great and his Court, tried to put
on tho bracelet, sho found it too small for her
arm."
AS regards the book before us, "Maria Antoi-
nette and her Son" we have not read it, but have
no doubt it is as interesting Us the previous works
Of tho author
