tents;
Gianetto; The Payment of the Five Milliards;
The Story Of Valentine, and His Brother; The
Abode of Snow Alice Lorraine, Part ri; Poll
tics at Home and Abroad. Two of the continued
stories are concluded in this number. The paper
on the "Abode of Snow" gives description Of
the "Shigri, or, Glacier Valley" fearful place to
travel over. A very interesting comparison is
drawn between this region and the Swiss Alps,
and the wonderful performances Of the Spita Pc
MES are described
We wish to call particular attention to the artI-
Gle on "The Payment of the Five Miliards." 1t
is a condensed account of the report of M. Leon
Say, with explanations that render it perfectly IL
telligible to English readers; and those who do
not understand how France managed the pay
ment of 100000 900 in two years and three
months, will find the whole matter placed clearly
before them.
The Westminster Review has contents as fol-
lows: John Stuart Mills Three Essays on Re

ty, Pauperism, and Sclf-IIelp; The First Metal
lurgists Home Life; English Dwellings; Con-
temporary Literature. Mr.. Mills posthumous
work, Mature, The Utility of Religion, and
TheisIn, is the subject of the first article. "Arls-
totle," the work which occupied the last six years
of Mr. Groe's life has just been given to the pub
lic and is the subject Of this essay. "Chsrity,
Paupcrism, and self-IIelp,' suggests a modifca-
ton of the English Poor Laws, and sets forth the
plan for a Friendly Relief Society.
The British Quarterly has the following con-
tents Paparchy and Nationality Cox's History
of Greece; The Adjournment of st. Parl's; The BIZ
bles Place in a Science Of Religion; Early Chris
tian Inscriptions of France; The Greville Me-
moirs; Europe and Peace; Erasnus-his Charac-
ter; Contemporary Literature. The foregoing
list of subjects is fresh demonst alton Of the fact
so often stated, that this Review in common with
the others of the series regularly repubhed here,
aims to keep its readers well informed en- ali mat
tiers of public interest. These articles and the
tended notices Of Contemporary Literature bring
more topics TO the readers attention than we have
room to particularize.
The London Quarterly has the following arti-
cles: The Gre,ille Memoirs; The Doctrines Of
the Jesuits: Life of the Prince Consort The Eng
nsn lbar anu Inc Inns Oh II afran Lie oil
Christ; Friendly Societies; The Judicial Investi-
CATION of Truth; Speeches of Pope Plus IN "Fhe
Grevil.e Memoirs" have been received with such
universal favor that we experience quite new
sensation on reading really critical review of
them. In the Quarterly for October, there was
article describing the reorganization of the
Jesuits," the sequel to which. 1.-The Doctrines of
the Jesuits," is here given. The Life of the
Prince Consort" is another work which is ieceiv-
ing high praise from all quarters. The Judicial
Investigation of Truth is a long dissertation on
the serious defects of English law, with sugges
tons for new and perfect code, based on the con-
ditions that while law should be just and certain
it should work in the shortest possible time and at
the smallest expense Speeches Of Pope Plus
IX." This is review of two volumes ofspeeches
of the Pope, collected and published by the Rev.
Don Pasquac de FRANCHISES and being written by
Gladstone, will, of course, be read with attention.

ment in another column headed "Reprints," for
