He went on board the Hind at Sheerness ; joining-that ship 27 th June * 1703 , and going with it on a trip to Norway , Fjrorn this he was transferred , to the Thetis , and was soon made act-ing : lieutenant ; not only of that ship but of the Africa , the Lynx , and the Resolution . Afterwards he joined Lord . ICeitVs ship , who had replaced Lord St . Vincent . Here we have an anecdote or two of Lord Nelson , whom he met ; at Palermo , and who there gave him the characteristic advice— " Never mind manoeuvres , always go at them . " The advice , we know , was not lost on the recipient . Lord Coehrane was next appointed to the Speedy , and his experience at this time serves to illustrate our naval administration sixty years ago . To this period also belongs the boarding 1 of the Spanish xebec frigate , Gam a , in which our seaman well exemplified the counsel which he had received from Lord Nelson . We await the second volume of this work with great interest .

npHE great increase in numbers of Small periodicals , some of them i of well-designed utility , not a little embarrasses thecritic with a superabundance of materials , the disposition of which is a task of great difficulty . Many are not even of a literary character ; such , for instance , as The Post Magazine , AlmanacTc , and Insurance JDiredory for 1860 ; which offers for sixpence 140 octavo pages of reliable information . ¦ The Directory contains the title , objects , place of office , bom-d-davs . and principal officers of : every insurance company in
Great Britain and Ireland , and a list of the directors of all the fire and life insurance companies . Particulars ai-e also given of the changes that have taken place among insurance companies , and of forty . offices at present winding-up in the Court of Chancery . Iu its peculiar class , this . publication is of unrivalled excellence . ^—We always welcome with pleasure Dr . Winslow ' s Journal of J ? syc 1 io Toqical Medicine and Menial Pathology . Thft present , number ( XVII . ) commences with a , quarterly retrospect of psychology , and deals much with the Decadence of Quakerism , as illustrative of mental
discussed . There are some sensible remarks on honiic-idal mania , and the dafiger of suffering patients of "that class-to , be at large . Popular , clamour , it ' is complained , lias compelled medical men and the prpprie-tbrs of asylums to dismiss from snperiritcndeiice some tlaiig-erous lunatics , \ vfiose cases have been eharactenzed by long fits of interruption ; and reference is made to the case of Jam-es Moore , as the third instance of mur , der commit ted by individuals recently discharged from . asylums within a period of eighteen months in this
kingdom . The case of Mr . Pownall is also adduced . It is quite ijnpossible to enter into tho several arguments of the excellent articles that compose the -number , but that on "Hysteria , in connexion with Religions Revivals , " will probably excite most attention . An amusing paper on " Paradoxical Psychology" will ' re-ward perusal ; saints , and sages of the school of Swedenborg are among the instances . Jung-Stillinir , Mrs . Crowe , and Ennemoser , also pass under review . Dr . Moveau , too , who has ^ lately sought to identify genius with insanity , is not wiftered to escape . A psychological biography of Di \ William Cullen is very instructive and interesting . —
papers , and all have a business air that inspires . confidence . —Mr . Wood ' s Illustrated Natural History ( Part X . ) continues ^ still , both in its literature and its illustrations , to deserve high praise . — Mr . Milwer ' s Gallery , of Nature is , we perceive , completed . The work forms , altogether , one of'tho most useful of Messrs . Chambers ' publications . —Moore ' s National Airs have advanced to the 8 th number , and will be completed in two more . —Lord John Russell ' s Memoirs of the Poet have also commenced . Part I ., with tho poet ' s likenefis , lies before us . The work is designed to extend to ten parts , and to be embellished with eight portraits , and two vignettes ongrayed on steel . —Routledge ' s S 7 ia 7 < : espear <> , edited by 11 . Staunton , has arrived at its < J , 7 th part , which contains a portion of Othello , with notes .
