board in a tutor’s house costs 4120 a year. Ina dame's 
house it is about 420 or £30 less. Other charges, we sup- 
pose, are much the same. But Mr. Evans, who has one of 
these houses, thinks the payment not remunerative. Cer- 
tainly it gives one a startling notion of the expensive way 
in which things are done at Eton to find that the addition 
of “evening things,” that is to say, tea, sugar, bread, butter, 
and milk, in a house of thirty or forty boys cost the 
“dame” £470 a year. However, we fancy a good many 
able schoolmasters would be very glad to change places 
with Mr. Evans.” 
Press of matter prevents our going further into the merits 
of this number. We will, however, with pleasure resume 
it in our next. All we can say of the contributors of Zhe 
Contemporary—ex uno disce omnes. 
The Victoria Magazine. London: Emily Faithful. 
Has in its last number more than completed its eighth 
volume, contains much and most interesting matter. We 
are no advocates for blue stockings, but we must confess 
under so safe a pilot as Miss Faithful, whose prestige in 
the literary world and whose endeavours for the good of 
her countrywomen have been most insignant, we can not 
wonder at the success of the present number. The Victoria 
is feminine in the extreme, well indeed worth reading is the 
Authorised Translation of Madame Dora D’Isbia’s 
(authoress of “ The Women of the East”) “ Women of the 
Latin and Germanic Races.” “A Lady’s Ascent of the 
Dent du Midi” is a very noticeable article in the present 
number, and pourtrays to the heroes of the Alpenstock 
what a woman cando. The Victoria abounds with much 
pleasing matter, especially to our fairer readers. 
We are given to understand that an eminent art critic 
is now on its staff, and that its strictures on science and 
art will form no unimportant feature in its pages. 
The People’s Magazine. (Society for the Propagation of 
the Gospel.) 
One of those journals which are circulated to dissemi- 
nate true principles and true religious feeling amongst 
an important class of readers. It contains much very in- | 
teresting matter. .
