DUBLIN.—" The Great Stratford Jubilee of  1769" is an interesting article, and the contrasts presented by past and present are very striking, and the retrospective glimpse thus presented to us will well repay perusal. Some of .the professional jealousies that will always creep in with malignant prtinacity are well described hero ; and Garrick, in his capacity of manager, certainly did not wear a thornless crown. "Who is the Heir" contains some spirited anecdotes in its chapters, and is written in a lively, dashing manner. The brilliant style of this story, its finished descriptions of society, and its general character, render it a decided success, and a great acquisition to the pages of this magazine. " How Murders have been Discovered" is an article that is sure to attract notice, and, notwithstanding, its painful tendency, it exercises an almost irresistible fascination upon its readers, from its peculiar details and thrilling incidents. The sad fate of Le Brun, who was wrongfully suspected, shows the fallibility of human judgment, and how the most suspicious circumstances may be explained satisfactorily with time and opportunity. "Guy Deverell" is proceeded with ; and this instalment is very exciting in its events, the story is very complicated in its details, and quite melodramatic in some parts. Varbar reire's proceedings are like those of a conspirator, so stealthily and warily does he set to work to carry out his deep designs, and foster his strange schemes. Sir Jekyl Marlowe has got himself into sad straits with his pranks and plots, and is likely to pay dearly for it. "Fictile Art in England in the Eighteenth Century" is a very interesting sketch, and will be found both instructive and entertaining in its perusal. Some detailed accounts are given of "pottery" as it, appeared at different periods, and such information is sure to attract attention. The biography of Wedgwood is considered here at length, and a high opinion is expressed of its merits—" We have secured much in a biographer distinguished by a clear and energetic style, by delicate judgment, extensive information, and a deep interest in her subject." " Scenes in the Transition Age from Camar to Christ" aro continued, and "Merlin" is the title of a curious sketch that will be welcomed with approval by all lovers of the romantic. TEMPLE Sir Jasper's Tenant" is more agreeable in this part, for the widow tears herself away from the place where she has stayed too long and, caused such disquiet and annoyance. The mysteries which envelope her career are not yet explained, but it is a positive relief when she departs from Scarsdale Abbey. Maria's gloomy ways and rather inactive style of life are refreshing after the fuss and ferment caused by the "florid widow." Little Dorothy's engagement will evidently serve to disclose some mystery eventually. The "Streets of the World" brings Havana before us in tho usual lively style of this writer. "Househunting in Munich" is a little sketch that discloses some of the chief characteristics of the place, and tertainly the task of finding a domicile in that place cannot be very agreeable, or profitable either. " On Duty with the Inspector" is a paper 'that should bo attentively read at the present juncture, and will serve to explain some of the matters which perplex the uninitiated. The concluding passage is very true,and should meet with notice from the proper quarters : " If local acts really impede public benefits, why are they not repealed ? And if Governinent has any difficulty in taking the initiative, have we no independent members who will bring their privileges and drawbacks before the country and the House." " Land at Last" proceeds with its varied adventures and startling occurrences ; and " David Chantrey" is continued also at some length. David's delight at the publication of his mother's book is damped by a very unfortunate review ; the Major's character comes out in no very flattering manner in this instalment. The article on the "American Struggle" is well written, and presents us with the chief features of the unsatisfactory affair. The writer enters into-the details in an appropriate manner 'and' a' sympathising spirit. The dangers that still threaten the " not yet reunited Union" are well depicted, and the loss of Lincoln is mourned as it deserves at the present critical period. "Horses and Horsiness" is a smartly written paper that is certain to please many readers, and is very appropriate at this time of the year when racing is so much in vogue. Some other articles of interest make up the contents of this number, which presents great variety.
