The effect of Sartor Resartus in its serial form was such, we believe, as to threaten the magazine with premature extinction. Having begun in Fraser's Alagazine, Car- LYLA may be said to have ended in it. His last-published work, on the Early Kings of Norway," and his "Portraits of John Knox," appeared originally in the maga zine, which at its own risk gave shelter to "Sartor Resartus.". Some of THACKERAY'S earliest and best writing was contributed to Fraser. One of his contributions to this magazine was the story of CATHERINE HAVES, which went on through part of 1839 and 1840 under the signature of "ERY SOLOMONS, Junior." CATHERINE HAYES was murderess burned at Tyburn, in 1726 for

WK observe in the Macao Boisting a description of the claborate preparations made by the Gor ernment for loyally celebrating in right royal style the anniversary of His Most Faithful Majesty's birthday. Without wishing to show any disrespect either to the King of Portugal or the Governor of Macao, we cannot help thinking with Maccense that such an unnecessary and lavish expenditure was not justified by the far from satisfactory state of the public funds. If the Macao government has any surplus coin to spare, it would be much better applied to the urgently needed improvements of the colony, and in rescuing a miserable community from a position of degradation, than in foolish festivities of the

FROM a lately published work by General Strel. bitsky, "La Superficie de l'Europe," it appears that Europe is 133,000 square kilometres larger than was supposed. General Strelbitsky has founded his calculations on the most careful measurements, and ascertained that Europe has a superficies 10, 010,486 square kilometres; of | which 9,316,013 belong to the continent, and 664,463 to the islands, a calculation which differs considerably from those hitherto made. If Ge- neral Strelbitsky be correct, the size of Scandin- undervalued, while that of Italy, Great Britain, Spain, and Portugal has been exaggerated. The three smallest European States have the following size-Liechtenstein, 159; San Marino, 85; and

almost three times smaller than the city of Berlin, which has a superficies of 60.6 square kilometres.
