The April number of this valuable work, ;contains but five articles. They arc, of course, longer than 'what has been usual; but the'subjects are well worthy the space • •eceupied, and the treatment of them can not but interest and instruct intellectual readers, .who are in search of knowledge. They are.: I. Theories rof the Eldership; R. The Dissolution of Empires,; lIL Sir W.. Hamilton's Theory of Perception; IV. Man; Moral and Physical; V. The First and Second. Adam. The last article is pe culiarly Valuable, as containing sound views on the dmtrine of imputation.

And when young ,men will clip off two weeks from each end, and cut a week or two out of the, middle of each of_ the seven „mouths' terms, the diffi culty is still increased. , The two years' study of theology are thus reduced to one year.
