THE ANGLO-INDIAN ALMANACK . The Anglo-Indian Almancwk for 1857 . Published at the " Indian News" Office . If any proof were required of the growing interest in Indian affairs felt by the British public , it might be found in the circumstance that a compilation , of the above character has become not only useful , but necessary .. The speciality indicated by tbe title bas been ably worked out . Almost every species of information that can be desired respecting the organization of our Indian Empire is clearly and systematically afforded . In addition to the ordinary matter furnished 5 n cosmopolitan almanacks , we find in this little volume everything we could wish to know about the Civil , Military , and Ecclesiastical services , their Examinations , Regulations , and Pensions . We are told where every regiment is stationed , where every civilian is to be found , and what duties he is discharging ; and , in short , where we must look for our brothers , kinsmen , and friends , whatever be the post they hold under Queen , or Company . Nor are the " outside barbarians" altogether ignored , though the Fourth Estate is apparently considered unworthy of notice ; and the same silence is preserved with regard to the Uncovenanted Service . Perhaps in the following year these deficiencies will be supplied , and also some fuller instructions given for the benefit of persons about to proceed to India ; in the present mitnber the Marseilles route ^ entirely omitted . On the other hand , there is a very useful summary of debates on Indian questions in the two Houses of Parliament during the last session , together jwith much valuable information about Railways , Postal Regulations , Coins , Weights , Measures , and many other subjects that have hitherto puzzled the homely wits of home-keeping youths . In other words , an " obvious void" has been now filled by this Anglo-Indian Almanack , which we cordially recommend to all who have even a Scotch cousin in India .

Dr . Young and his " . Night Thoughts . —The study of men , as they have appeared in different ages , and under various social conditions , may be considered as the natural history of the race . Let us , then , for a moment imagine ourselves , as students of this natural history , ' dredging' the first half of the eighteenth century in search of specimens . About tie year 1730 , we have hauled up a remarkable individual of the species divine—a surprising name , considering the nature of tie animal before us , but we are used to unsuitable names in natural history . Let us examine this individual at our leisure . He is on . the verge of fifty , and has recently undergone his metamorphosis into the clerical form . Eather a paradoxical specimen , if you observe
him narrowly : a sort of cross between a sycophant and a psalmiat ; a poet whose imagination is alternately fifed by the " Last Day" and b 3 a creation of peers ,- who fluctuates between rhapsodic applause of King George and rhapsodic applause of Jehovah . After spending " a foolish youti , the sport of peers and poets , " after being a hanger-on of the profligate Duke of Wharton , fitter turning ; in vain at a parliamentary career , and angling for pensions and preferment with fulsome dedications and fustian odes , he is a little disgusted with his imperfect success , and has determined to retire from the general mendicancy business to a particular branch ; in other words , he has determined on that renunciation of the world implied in " taking
orders , with the prospect of a good living and an advantageous matrimonial connexion . And no man can be better fitted for an established church . He personifies completely her nice balance of temporalities and spiritualities . He is equally , impressed with the momentousness of death and of burial fees ; he languishes at once for immortal life and for " livings ;" he has a fervid attachment to patrons in general , but on the whole prefers the Almighty . He ivill teach , with something more than official conviction , the nothingness of earthly things ; and he will feel some tiling more than
private disgust if his meritorious efforts in directing men's attention to another world are not rewarded by substantial preferment in this . His secular man believes in cambric bands and silk stockings as characteristic attire for " an ornament of religion and virtue ; " hopes courtiers w ill never forget to copy Sir Robert Walpole ; and write begging-letters to the King ' s mistress . His spiritual man recognizes no motives more familiar than " Golgotha" and " the skies ; " it walks in graveyards , or it soars among the stars . His religion exhausts itself in ejaculations and rebukes , and knows no medium between the ecstatic and the sententious . If it were
not for the prospect of immortality , ho considers , it would bo wise and agreeable to be indecent , or to murder one ' s father ; and , lieaven apart , it would bo extremely irrational in any man not to be a knave . Man , ho thinks , Is a compound of the angel and the brute ; the brute is to bo humbled by being reminded of its " relation to the stalls , " and frightened into moderation by the contemplation of death-beds and skulls ; the angel is to bo developed by vituperating this world and . exalting the next ; and by this double process you get the Christian , " the highest stylo of man . " With all this our new made divine is an unmistakable
poet . To a clay compounded chiefly of the worldling and the rhetorician , there in added a real spark of Promethean firo . Ho will ono day clothe his apostrophes and objurgations , his astronomical ruligion andhischarnal-house morality , in lusting verse , which will stand , like a Juggernaut mado of gold and jcweln , af . onco magnificent and repulsive : for this divine is JCdwnrd Young , the future author of the " Night Thoughts . "Westminster lteview ( January ) . Bkatii ok the Kino ov Aiiyhsinla . —A letter from Alexandria of the 24 th ult . states that intelligence has been received there of tho death of King Theodore , the King of AbysBinia .

THE SUNBEAM . The Sunbeam : a JPhotoffrcyrfiic Magazine . Edited by Philip H . Delamotte , F . S . A .. Part x - Chapman and Hall . " The first number of the Sunbeam contains four exquisite illustrations The Woods at Penllegare , "by Mr . J " . D . Llewelyn ; The Tournament Court in fhe Castle of Heidelberg , by Sir Jocelyn Coghill ; Magdalen College , Oxford , from the Cherwell , by Professor Delamotte ; and the Baptistry , Canterbury Cathedral , by Mr . F . Bedford . Mr . Llewelyn has caught -with marvellous effect the light-tracery of branches—the path , the bridge , the moss around the roots , the heaped leaves on the turf . Sir Jocelyn Coghill brings out , with beautiful precision , the Raphael and Giulio Romano fapade in tbe Tournament Court of Heidelberg Castle , the Octagon Tower of Frederick , the vegetation piled against the walls , and the windows which show only the shadows within . Magdalen College , " the point of mediajval romance that jewels the whole city " of Oxford , is delicately photographed by Professor Dolamotte , whose trees and wsiter are wonderful , as well as his aerial perspective and the tone and outline of his architecture and landscape . Mr . Bedford ' s Baptistry , Canterbury Cathedral , may he described in one sentence : it is perfect .
