We have also received Tinsleys Magazine, which is given over
entirely
to the Duke de Pomar, Mr. James Grant, and such like workers in the mine of startling and " society " fiction. Those who demand such ore
are well supplied in Tinsley, and supplied with little else. — The Charing Cross Magazine and St. James's Magazine, both of them appear to have become the home or haven of the Della Cruscans of the present day. Very harmless Della Cruscans they are.—The Magazine of Art (Part IV.) and the Gardeners' Chronicle, although their contents are widely different, agree in this,—that their excellence is steadily increasing. Greater variety might, however, be introduced into the "Art Notes" of the former. — Golden Hours, the Month (Catholic review), and Mission Life. A writer in the last says, in emphatic italics, "The Protectorate of England in the East must have a marked religious as well as social influence upon those over whom it is exercised." It is hoped that sanguine dogmatism like this will be justified by facts.—London Society (containing seasonable articles on "The Orkneys as Holiday Ground," "A Walk in Saxon Switzerland,' and "From London to the Land of Lorne")—the Victoria Magazine (with a photograph and short biographical notice of Mrs. Kendal)— Social Notes (which contains two articles on "Vivisection," by William Howitt)—Men of Mark (with photographs of Professor Owen, G. E. Steed, R.A., and Professor Max Mfiller)—All the Year Round (to which is added the "Extra Summer Number," containing seven tales, by Miss Braddon, Frances E. Trollope, Dutton Cooke, Rosa Mulholland, C. Warren Adams, Mrs. Cashel Hoey, and R. E. Francillon)—the Sunday Magazine and the Sunday at Home (the latter containing an interesting article on "Our Canal Population ")—The Study and Homilectic Monthly— the Family Friend—the Argosy—the Leisure Hour—Good Words (in which "Sketches on the Prairies" and "Convicts and Quakers" are con- cluded, and a series of articles by Professor Shairp, on the" Early Poetry of Scotland," commenced) — Chambers's Journal —Part 40 of Cassell's Libraty of English Literature—The Cheveley Novels, containing the third part of "Saul Weir."—Part I. of the new series of The Stage (containing memoirs and photographic portraits of Mr. Irving and Miss Ellen Terry)—Part V. of Our Native Land (with water-colour drawings of Killarney, Ross Castle, and the Tore Waterfall)—Catholic Progress.— Of American Magazines, we have received the Midsummer holiday number of Scribner's Illustrated Monthly, and St. Nicholas.
