The pleadings on the one side for the Count, on the other side for his wife, afford Mr. Browning a splendid opportunity for displaying the force and richness of his intellect, but such a subject would seem better suited to an intellectual gladiator than to a poet. Indeed, this first volume of " The Ring and the Book" has few passages which can be truly termed poetical. One there is, how ever, of rarebeauty which, in conclu ding our brief notice of this extraordinary work, we are tempted to quote. Unfortunately, the charm even of this noble passage is marred by the obscurity of the last two lines : 0 lyric love, half-angel and half-bird And all a wonder and a wild desire, — Boldest of hearts that ever braved the sun, Took sanctuary within the holier bine, And sang a kindred soul out to hie face, — Yet human at the red-ripe of the heart— Wises the tint summons from the darkling earth Reached thee.amid thy chambers, blanched their bliss, And bared them of the glory—to drop down, To toil for man, to suffer or to die, — This is the same voice: can thy soul know change Rail then, and hearken from the realms of help: Never may I mamma, my song, my due Toiled who best taught songby gift of thee, Except with bent head and beseecbtng hand— That still, despite the distance and the dark, What was, again may be ; some interchange Of grace, vine splendour once thy very thought, Some benediction anciently thy smile : —sever conclude, but raising hand and head Thither where eyes, that cannot reach, yet yearn For all hope, all sustainment, all reward, Their %flamed up and on,—an blessing back In those thy realms of help, that heaven thy home, Some whiteun'e which. I judge, thy face makes proud, Some marines. where, I think, thy loot may fall !* Once more we would observe, upon closing the volume, that it is impossible, in noticing a poem at present in its first quarter, to do justice to the author. Indeed, by such a suede of publication, air. Browning has done an injustice to himself. NI hen tle whole poem is before us, we shall be better able to estimate it as a work of art. As far as wo can judge at present, nothink which the poet hum produced is more curiously charapteristio of his genies. LITERATURE. Tke lii*g and tAe Book. By ROBERT BiLOWNDM. In four vols. Vol. 1. Smith, Elder, and Co. 1868. Mr. Browning has given us the first instalment of a poem which promises to be one of the longest in the English language. It is impossible justly to estimate such a work from a single portion of it. A poem, like • pic ture, must be studied as a whole, for thus only are we able to appreciate the conception of the master, and we must express our surprise that • poet like Mr. Browning, whose knowledge of art is as profound as his power of expression is extra ordinary, should have been induced to publish a work like this in detachments. Probably Mr. Browning felt that in an age of light reading and easy study, the British public, who, as ho says, like him nut, would have shown their dislike of a lOC= in four volumes by neglecting it altogether, whereas the same public might be capable of digesting seventeen hundred lines a month from one of the wealthiest and most original minds which this century has produced. The force and richness of Mr. Browning's intellect has been never more apparent than in the volume before us; we must add also that the faults of his com position, its obscurity, its harshness, its want of musical charm, its parenthetical breaks, its gro tesque arrangement arc as obvious as ever. Mr. Brow fling, like all true poets, exacta a great deal from his readers; but, unlike the greatest motors, ho gcnerally demands a two-fold labour, and com pels you to master his language before you can commence the study of his thought. " The Ring and the Book" is the story of the murder of a wife by a husband, as related in an old volume which the poet professes to have dia covcred on a bookstall in Florence : Do you tee this square old yellow Book, I toss 1' the air, and catch again, and twirl about By the crumpled vellum co; ers,—pure crude fact Secreted from man's life when hearts beat hard, And Mainly high-blooded, ticked two centuries since! Ezamine it younelves ! He reads it in the streets, and before reaching his home in Casa Gulch has mastered its contents, which concern $ certain nobleman, Guido Prances chini, who in the year 1698 enters a house in Rome with four cut-throats, and slays his young wife and an old couple who had passed themselves off as bur parents. The murder was committed on the ground that Pompilia, the wife, who is only seventeen years old, and has just borne him a son, had eloped with a young priest, Canon Caponsacchi by name, a lover With goodly shoulderblade and proper leg, A portly make and a symmetric shape, And curia that clustered to the tonsure quite. Guido awoke one morning to find his bird flown, whereupon he followed to Castelnuovo, and there discovered Pompilia and the priest, whose reasons for their flight, if not satisfactory to the husband, were so far accepted by the authorities that the wife was permitted to remain apart from Guido, and the priest was only enjoined a tem porary penance. Guido thereupon claims a di vorce, which is met by a counter claim from Pompilia; after which Porapilia leaves the sister hood on the plea of ill-health, and betakes herself to the old people who call themselves her parents at Rome. There the murder was accomplished, and there after a trial, in which they " wrangled, brangled, jangled for a month," Count Guido appeals to the Pope en the ground that he has talon minor. orders., awl is by him adjudged to death. The poem which hangs upon this common-place crime is full of picturesque descriptions, weighty thoughts, and dramatic sketches which are singu hu•ly powerful and life-like. Mr. Browning relates the opinions of half Rome in favour of the Count, and then the opinions of the other half in favour of his wife, and in the narrative which is blended with the arguments on both sides, the power of the artist's hand is everywhere apparent. Here is a picture of the scene in the church when the murdered bodies are exposed : From dawn till now that it is growing dusk, A multitude has flocked and filled the church, Corning and going, coming back again, Till to count crazed one. Rome was at the show. People climbed up the columns, fought for spikes 0' the chapel-rail to perch themselves upon, Jumped over and so broke the wooden work Painted like porphyry to deceive the eye ; Nerve the priests right ! The organ-loft was crammed, Women were fainting, no few light. ensued, In short, it was a show repaid your pains : For, though their room was scant undoubtedly, Yet they did manage matter*, to be Jest, A little at this Lorenzo. Body o' me ! I raw a body exposed once . . . never mind ! Enough that here the bodies had their due. No stinginess in wax, a row all round, And one big taper at each head and foot. So, people pushed their way, and took their tarn, Saw, threw their eyes up, crossed themselves, gave plane To pressure from behind - , since all the world Knew the old pair, could talk the tragedy Over from first to last. And here is a very characteristic passage which describes the love passages between the Canon and Pompilia and the first feeling of jealousy in the Count : He, not a visitor at Guido's house, Emma en acquaintance, but in prime request With the magnetos of Arezzo, was seen hero, Heard there, felt everywhere in Ouido's path If Cuido's wife's path he her husband's too. Now be threw comfits at the theatre Into her lap,—what harm in Carnival P Now he premed close till his foot touched her 'Town, His Lund brushed hers,—how help ou promenade?

The mauler may (Nisi that such extracts as these are evidenotet rather of intellectual vigour BEHIND THE SCHNKS. Within the last two years several new theatres have been built at the West End, and we observe that another is to be opened next week. If this iuerete a continues, it will soon become a serious question whether the supply will not exceed the demand. London contains, in proportion to its sire, the smaller number of theatre-goers of any metropolis in Europe. This is due, in part, to the prevalence among many of its inhabitants of a religious objection to " plays," and in part to the love of the fire-side which characterises the nation. New theatres, therefore, cannot be indefinitely opened without either proving commercial failures or shutting up, by their success, some of the old once. It was Mr. Cobden who, if we remember rightly, said that no one could understand the internal working of a land society ; and we sus pect there are very few who know much of the internal working of a theatre. We propose, there fore, to give some details of theatres in their vulgar commercial aspect. The proprietor of a theatre gets a good per oen tage on the outlay of his capital, so long as his rent is paid. Sometimes, however, it happens that this is not the case, or that his theatre remains for many months without an occupier. Tenants are indeed always to be found, but tenants able to give sub stantial security for their rent are not quite so plentiful. The lessee is usually his own manager. His profits may be large or small. His business is essentially a speculative one. In a large first clams West-end theatre the nightly expenses average about 701. or SOL, and the receipts vary from 30/. to 3001., ac cording to the success of the entertainments. As a rule the receipts are below the expenses; the loss is made up by some lucky hit, when they are largely in excess. Christmas is the best theatrical season in the year ; summer is the worst, except she n it is wet. In winter.hewever,every wet night costs the manager about 20/. The stalls are seldom full, except between February and May. During the season fashionable people usually go to the opera or to partite—as their object is rather to be teen than to ace; during the winter months, how ever, they go in large parties to the stalls of theatres. Although the dress circle is cheaper and more comfortable than the stalls, it is the portion of a theatre generally the least full. Clerks and small tradesmen usually go to the pit. The gallery is the home of the working-classes, who are the surest patrons of theatres. They take the deepest interest in what goes on upon the stage; and if any " god" is noisy, the intervention of a policeman is not necessary, as he is immediately turned out or reduced to silence by his neigh bours. Applause invariably comes from the gallery and the pit, as the occupants of the stalls and the dress circle, however much they may be pleased, consider it beneath their dignity to give any outward expression to their feelings. Nothing, however, is more deceptive than a full " bonne ;" for no one, except the manager and the acting-manager, knows whether it is filled with money or " paper." Paper is the slang term for an order. As the general public dislike a void—if that void be not filled up with persons who have paid for their seats, it has to be filled with persons who have notpaid fortheru. A large and by no means spoor class never pay to go into a theatre; indeed thoroughly to understand the parsimony of the human species a man must have been the ma nager of a theatre. His table is covered every morning with letters asking for orders, on all con ceivable pretexts. It managers would put an end to this begging-letter nuisance, and agree among themselves not to pack their houses, they would - , in the end, be gainers, for order-hunters, as a class, cannot exist without seeing every new play which is produced, and if it were once made clear to them that they must either pay or keep away, they would do the latter. The weekly expenses of the lessee are made up in the following manner : 1. Rer.l.—Thin item, with taxes and insurance, amounts to about 701. a week. 2. Adre-rthany, Punting, and Billing, -Some time ago the managers of the principal theatres met toge ther in order to concert measures to diminish the lavish outlay in advertising and posting that has become the custom. They were, however, unable t.) agree upon a common erode of rules. Newspaper advertising coats about 401. weekly, and posting a rather larger sum. Could managers agree not to put above ono advertisement in each newspaper, and were they to take stations where bills from each theatre might be exhibited, they would all of them be gainers, and the general public would not be losers. 3. The Trardrole.—At the head of this depart.. ment is a master tailor and a mistress of the ward robe. The silks and satins used on the stage are usually bought wholesale. The dresses for a large burlesque or a pantomime coat many hundred pounds. Actresses are obliged to tlnd their own , boots, and gloves. Actors in plays of modern life find their own dresses. 4. The Scenery, itc.—The principal wane painter of • theatre is usually an artist of eminence in his profeasion ; he has several assistants under him. It is seldom that lesathan NW. is spent on colours and canvas in the course of a year. Scenes, when they are not likely to be used again, are painted out; but as in each separate piece the position of all the doors and the windows is different, it is seldom that " clothes" cart be need a second time. In every theatre, however, there is a large quantity of stock *emery, consist ing of forests, interiors, gardens, &c., which does duty in farms. The master carpenter is charged with the pre paration of all the woodwork used in the frames of the scenery, and in the sets, which now-a-days are frequently almost built up on the stage. The scene shifters are under his orders ; and, as scenes have to be shifted with almost lightning speed, their number is legion. The property-man makes or provides all the properties that are required in a pieoe. This in cludes everything- -from furniture to theatrical suppers. L. Lighting.— The gas bill amounts to about 30?. • week. Few dramas, and scaniely any burlesques, are without moonlight effects, which are produced by lime light. At Christmas the moon generally costa a manager at least 201. a week. 6. The Orchestra.— The band is usually con tracted for with the leader. It costs about 301. a week. 7. TLe Stage.--Everything connected with bringing out a pietaa is under the control of the stage manager. In a first-clam theatre the com pany consists of at least the following artists: - One leading man, one light comedian, two old men, three walk ingC gentlemen, two character actors, two low comedians, one letding lady, one old woman, one young leading lady, one singing chambermaid, one broad chambermaid, three walking ladies, utility men, male and female supernumeraries. Salaries of stock actors and actresses vary from 121. to 21. They are by no mtans easy pea de to manage. They live in a world apart, and their ideas of their own merits ate frequently at variance with those of the stage manager. No part is too good for any of theta, but few parts are, good enough. Those who are " cast" in bad parts in a play usually announce their intention to leave rather than play them, but on reflection they generally think better of their decision. No one, however, will ever play a part of a Lair's breadth out of hi s ow n particular line. If a first walking gentleman were asked to play a third walking gentlen.an's part, he would he as indignant us an Attorney-General were he called upon to defend a pickpocket in a police court. Managers are often blamed because minor parts in a piece are badly played; they cannot, however, help themselves, be- MUM good actors will not play them. Actresses stand even morn on their dignity than actors ; their mutual jealousies exceed even those of fine ladies. Audiences must often have re marked that in burlesques songs and dances are introluted in defiance of the requirements of the situation. The reason usually is that Miss A. re fuses to play unless, like Miss 8., she be given a song, or, like Miss C., a dance. The great difficulty in bringing out burlesques is to find actresses who will flay the part of girls. They all want to be boys- -to show their legs, which in nine cases out of ten are podded. The padding is woven into the flesh-coloured leggings which they wear, so that it is almost impossible to detect it. Stars.—These bright particular luminaries some times receive as much as 00/. a week, or they share the receipts after expenses. Their great object is to play in a piece with which they may afterwards make the tour of the provinces; they therefore, as much as possible, eschew these which require elaborate and expensive scenery. As a rule, their engage ments are more profitable to themselves than to the managers who pay them. Their lofty esti mate of their talents stands in the way of their financial success. No play twits them unless its whole interest is concentrated on themselves, and the public will not put up with what are called " one actor pieces." The Ballet.--Ballet girls are seldom required in • theatre except when burlesques or panto mimes are played. They receive about 2-is, a week. It is an error to suppose that, as a rule, they are " fast. - On the contrary, they are usually the daughters or nieces of actors, and they work honestly for a small pittance. Pesidem the persons already enumerated there are, on the working stuff of a theatre, dressers. gas men, firemen, cheek-takers, cleaners, one or two messengers, a hall porter, a prompter, and a call boy: altogether about 100 persons find a permanent employment. Ploys cad Burlesques.---A play is either paid for by a per centago on the profits, or at a fixed rate per night, or it is bought. It is by no means easy to obtain good ones. The mintiesr of bad ones sent to managers is enormous. They are usually written by aspiring authors, who know nothing of stage effects. It requires not only talent but a vast amount of technical knowledge to write well for the etage. Managers are almost always obliged to fall back upon experienced dramatic authors, and to accept with gratitude what ever they may offer. Three or five act plays, when not paid for by a per tentage on profits, usually cost front 2001. to 3001., or from 31. to 51. every night they . are acted. The prier. of a good bur lesque va ries from 601. to 1201. Farces are seldom worth more than 101. Their success usually de pends more upon the actors than the author. From the above analysis of the principal ex penses of first-class theatres, it will be seen that they are not kept open for nothing. Some managers have in the last few years made large sums of money ; but since the financial crisis audiences have diminished in numbers. People are stall obliged to economise, by remaining at home instead of going to Places of amusement, or when they do go by leaving their wives and chil dren at home. On the whole, it is a far safer speculation to build a theatre than to hire one—to sell plays than to buy them. Managers occa sionally make fortunes, but they more frequently lose than.—Daily News.

Probably no ono except the tutucock employed by the water company has ever taken notice of the fact that at the Fleet-street end of Cluineery-lane, over which thousands of people pass daily, frequently iu a very hurried manner, in (louse queues of the continuous plumage of omnibuses, cabs, and other vehicles, there are three, if not more, plog-holes, end their are constantly left open.
