The battle of Newton Butler was won on the third day after the boom thrown over the Foyle was broken. At Strabane the news met the Celtic army which was retreating from ConsternaLondonderry. All was terror and confusion: the tents were Irish. struck: the military stores were flung by waggon loads into the waters of the Mourne; and the dismayed Irish, leaving many sick and wounded to the mercy of the victorious Protestants, fled to Omagh, and thence to Charlemont. Sarsfield, who commanded at Sligo, found it necessary to abandon that town, which was instantly occupied by a detachment of Kirke's troops.* Dublin was in consternation. James dropped words which indicated an intention of flying to the Continent. Evil tidings indeed came fast upon him. Almost at the same time at which he learned that one of his armies had raised the siege of Londonderry, and that another had been routed at Newton Butler, he received intelligence scarcely less disheartening from Scotland.

It is now necessary to trace the progress of those events to which Scotland owes her political and her religious liberty, her prosperity, and her civilisation.

and to Louvois of the same date. Story mentions a report that the panic among the Irish was caused by the mistake of an officer who called out" face" instead of "Right face." Neither Right about Avaux nor James had heard any thing about this mistake, Indeed the dragoons who set the example of flight were not in the habit of waiting for orders to turn their backs on an enemy. had run away once before on that very They

of the defeat:

"Ces mesmes dragons

s'enfuirent tous avec une telle épouvante
sans tirer un coup de pistolet; et ils

et espées; et la plupart d'eux, ayant
crevé leurs chevaux, se déshabillérent
pour aller plus viste à pied."

END OF THE SECOND VOLUME.

An EXAMINATION of SIR WILLIAM HAMILTON'S PHILOSOPHY, and of the Principal Philosophical Questions discussed in his Writings. Second Edition, revised..... ........8vo. 14s. The subjects discussed in this volume are various and interesting. They relate to the relativity of knowledge, the philosophy of the conditioned, consciousness, the belief in an external world, the primary qualities of matter, the law of inseparable association, the doctrine of unconscious mental modifications, the theory of causation, logic, and formal logic, the natural prejudices and fallacies countenanced by HAMILTON, the theory of pleasure and pain, free will, and the study of mathematics.... The volume is one which readers even moderately interested in philosophical discussion will find full of suggestion. They will in all cases see these topics discussed with admirable clearness and perfect temper. PALL MALL GAZETTE.

'A more careful, searching, or destructive piece of criticism has seldom appeared. Mr. MILL has travelled through the writings of Sir WILLIAM HAMILTON and Mr. MANSEL with all the zeal of the most humble and enthusiastic disciple, and has produced against them both an indictment which it requires a considerable effort to read, but which will repay study. It is, as might have been expected from its Author's reputation, perfectly fair and courteous. Mr. MILL continually takes occa sion to praise Sir WILLIAM HAMILTON'S nervous English, his extraordinary learning, and his extreme fairness in controversy, and he does full justice to Mr. MANSEL'S clearness of statement. The book altogether is as creditable as it is instructive.' SATURDAY REVIEW.

THE HISTORY OF OUR LORD,

As exemplified in Works of Art:

With that of his Types, St. John the Baptist, and other Persons of the Old and New Testament.

Commenced by the late Mrs. JAMESON, continued and completed by Lady EASTLAKE.

Of the 312 Illustrations which embellish these volumes, all prepared specially for the History of Our Lord,' nearly one-third of the whole number have now been engraved for the first time.

'We have in these volumes, penned in a truth-seeking spirit, and illustrated with a copious generosity which at once elucidates and adorns each section of the subject, contributions to the literature of CHRISTIAN ART, for which every artist and every student of theology will confess a debt of private gratitude. To thoughtful inquirers, richest mines are here opened for meditation. To minds prepared for deeper draughts to quench the thirst for knowledge, wells are dug and fountains are made to flow even in the desert tracks of time, where pilgrim's foot seldom attempts to tread. We think that Lady EASTLAKE has done special service in bring

ing into popular view recondite stores
which have hitherto been sealed for pub-
lic use.
She has, by appeal to the early
heads of Christ in the Catacombs, by
reference to Christian sarcophagi of the
fourth century, to ivories as old as the sixth
century, and Greek MSS. and Byzantine
Miniatures of the ninth century, enabled
the art-student to trace the history of typus
and antetypes, and to analyse the rudimen-
tary germs which, from age to age accumu
lating strength and growing in comeliness,
at length issued forth in perfected pictorial
form. It is to this, the infancy of art,
that at the present moment peculiar interest
attaches. BLACKWOOD'S MAGAZINE.
