CURRENT LITERATURE.

The Quarterly Review for July has a very able party article on the House of Commons, which, however, like party speeches, has neither basis nor programme. There is a fair literary criticism of Ubhuid illustrated by very melodious translations, a badly-written charitable circular in favour of the Circassians, and a paper on the Public School Commission full of minute suggestions. The article on "Free Think- ing " must be a spirit-communication from the ghost of John Wilson Croker, only they would understand Deism better down there.
