NLYILTIJOt Lava RAI= BY A LIPIIBOAT.—CARN boar, Wantroaa, Fos. 10.—Daring the heavy gale of this day, the barrow Guyana, from the Clyde to Bt. - Kitt's, came on shore, and became a wrack on the Carrig Rocks, near Carosore, where sbe lay dismasted. The CIIIIMOTO lifeboat, belonging to the National Lifeboat Institution, was imme diately launched, and, after considerable difficulty and risk, succeeded in taking off the whole of the crew, consisting of 19 persons. The cost (:1001.) of this lifeboat establishment was presented about two years ago to the National Lifeboat Institution as a thank-offering by • lady resident in Dur ham, whose life was saved from drowning at great risk by H. A. Hamilton, Em., of Balbriggan, on board whoee yacht she was when the accident happened. It is probable that the lives of the 19 poor shipwrecked sailors thus saved by this lifeboat are owing to that occurrence, an illustration of the inscrutable goodness of Divine Providence, which thus often prepares • great and permanent good through • temporary and lesser evil. The lifeboats of the Royal National Lifeboat Institution have Leen instrumental in rescuing the crews of the following wrecked vessels during the heavy gales of the past few days :—Seaton Carew lifeboat, 8 men from the brig Providence, of Wads worth ; also 4 men from the brig Mayflower, of Newcastle.

LITERATURE. Autobiography, Letters, and Literary Remains of Mrs. (Thrale). Edited, with Notes and an Introductory Account of her Life and Writings, by A. HAYWARD, Esq., Q.C. Two Vole. Long man and Co. When Mrs. Piozzi died in May, 1821, she was in the eighty-second year of her existence--a good, but certainly not an extraordinary, age. Yet this memorable old lady lived in two distinct epochs, and was personally acquainted with, or had read the works of, the eminent authors of utterly dis similar styles of English literature. Born in the reign of the Second George, she lasted some little wait into that of the Fourth. For many years the intimate friend and hostess of Dr. Johnson (she was a middle-aged woman at the time of his death), the companion of Burke, and Goldsmith, and Sterne, ' the model from whom, when she w as fourteen I l Years Hogarth sketched the female figure in 1 " The Lady's Last Stake " (engraved as a frontis piece to the second of these volumes)--she never theless lived to write to her friends gcesipping letters about Byron's "Cain " and Moore's "Lelia Rookh" • about Scott's novels and " Miss God win's Fankenstein" ; about Henry Hunt, the radical orator, and Mr. Hone, the fellow libeller with the still living George Cruikshank of the *lime Regent ; about Lord John Russell's Reform Bill agitation, and Captain Parry's Arctic re searches ; about steamboats and gas lamps. Whether it was from her living so large a piece of her life in two centuries, or whether (which is much more likely) from her having survived for many years the first French Revolution—that great divider of "the old times" from the modern—Mrs. Piozzi seems to have united in her life an astonishing di versity of experiences. She began writing poetry at the commencement of the reign of George 111., while the manner of Pope was in undisputed ascendancy ; and, having passed through the whole dreary episode of Della Crimea senti mentality and finery, only missed by about fourteen or fifteen months hearing of the death of Shelley, who contributed so largely to form the style of poetry existing at this very moment. She woes contemporary of Garrick and of Edmund Kean —of Sir Joshua Reynolds and of Sir Thomas Law rence. No marvel that Moore, in his Diary (April 28, 1819), calls her "a wonderful old lady," and remarks that " faces of other times steeled to crowd over her as she sat—the Johnsons, Rey noldses, dm.," adding, " Though turned eighty, she has all the quickness and intelligence of a gay young woman." Her mental, and indeed bodily energy was wonderful. She wrote letters to her acquaintances up to within a couple of mouths cf herdeath, full of spirit, vivacity, and savour ; and punned quaintly on her leg, which had been wounded, and which she called her "1. e. g. (elegy.)" She celebrated her eightieth birthday on the 27th of January, 1820, by a concert and ball at the Kingston Rooms, Bath, at which she led off the dancing, at two o'clock in the morning, " with astonishing elasticity," as an eye-witness relates. It was when she was 44 or 45 years of age, and a gay, clever, and attractive widow, that she fell in love with her second hus band, Signor Piozzi, an Italian singer and player on the "forte-piano," as she calls the instrument ; and after being united some quarter of a century, she survived him twelve years. Scandal even says that at 80 years of age she had conceived so deep a passion for a very handsome actor named Conway, that she wished to marry him ; but though she un doubtedly spoke of him in terms of admiration, it is questionable whether she ever forgot her good sense to the extent imputed by her detractors. The truth is, Hester Lynch Salusbury—afterwards Thrale, afterwards Piozzi—was a lively Welsh woman, with a highly vital temperament, and a great capacity for enjoyment ; and, speaking as she felt, she no doubt often laid herself open to misin terpretation. The latter half of her life was apparently happier than the first ; for though John son, after the death of Thrale, wrote to his widow that she bad enjoyed with her late husband an amount of nuptial felicity which ho (Johnson) could not have believed had he not beheld it, Mrs. Piozzi herself, in her autobiography, speaks to quite the contrary effect. Mr. Hayward writes : The mortification of not finding herself appreciated by her husband was poigna ntly increueil, during the hat years of his life, by fi nding another o ff ensively preferred to her. He was so fascina ted by one of her fair friends as to loss sight altogether of what was due to appearances or to the feelings of his wife. The story she told the author of " Piouiana," in proof of Johnson', want of firmness, cleeriy refers to this lady. " I had remarked to her that Johnson's readiness to con do= any moral deviation in others wee, in a man so en tirely before the public as lie was, nearly a proof of his own spotless purity of coeduct. She said, ' Yee, Johnson was, on the whole, a rigid moralist ; but he could be ductile, I may say, servile ; and I will give you an instance. We hail a large dinner-party at our house ; Johnson sat on one side of me, and Burke on the other ; and in the company there was a young female (Mn. Pioui named her), to whom I, in my peevishness, thought Mr. Thrale super fluously attentive, to the neglect of me and others ; espe cially of myself, then near ay confinement, end dismally low-spirited ; notwithstanding which, Mr. T. very lumen. moniously begged of me to change place with Bonin ' who was threatened with a sore throat, arid might be injured by sitting near the door. I had scarcely swallowed a spoon ful of soup when this occurred, and was so overeat by the coarseness of the proper!, that I burst into team said some thing petulant—that perhaps ere long the lady might be at the bead of Mr. T.'s table, without displacing the mistnrs of the house, &c., sod so left the apartment. I retired to the drawing-room, and for an hour or two contended with my vexation as I best could, when Johnson and Burke came up. On seeing them, I resolved to give a jobation to both, but fixed on Johnson for my charge, and asked him if he had noticed what passed, what I had suffered, and whether, allowing for the state of my nerves, I was much to blame! He answered, Why, possibly not ; your feelings were outraged. I said, Yes, greatly so ; and I caunot help remarking with what blandness and composure you witnessed the outrage. Had this transaction been toll of others, your anger would have known no bounds ; but, towards a man who gives good dinners, &c., you were meekness itself ! Johnson coloured, and Burke, I thought, looked tuella/1; but I bad not a word of answer from either." The only excuse for Mr. Thrale is to be found in his mental and bolily condition at the time. This made it impossible for Johnson or Burke to interfere without • downright quarrel with him, nor without making matters worse. Highly to her credit, she did not omit any part of her own duties because he forgot his. In March, 1781, a few weeks before his death, she writes to Johnson : " I am willing to show myself in Southwark, or in any place, for my master's pleasure or advantage • bet have no present conviction that to be re-elected wo uld be advan tageous, so shattered a state as his nerves are in just now. Do not you, however, fancy for a moment, that I shrink from fatigue—or desire to escape from doing my duty ; spiting one's antagonist is a reason that never ought to operate, and never does operate with me : I are nothing abou: • rival candidate's inuendos. I are only about my husband's health and fame ; and if we find that be ear nestly wishes to be once more member for the borough—he shall he member, if anything done or suffered by me will help make him so." Piozzi was the choice of her heart, and they seem to have been happy in each other's society. Yet,— such was the prejudice of Englishmen at that time —the fair widow was very generally considered to have disgraced herself by her union with a foreign artist ; and this second marriage caused an estrangement between the lady and her old friend, Dr. Johnson. The Doctor may possibly have had some thoughts of offering him self for a husband ; assuredly, he regarded Mrs. Thrills with tender affection ; but he could not brook the idea of a foreigner, and a Roman catholic, and a "fiddler," succeeding to the place of a substantial English brewer. 'rho correspon dence between the old author and the middle-aged widow on this subject is a curious mixture of anger and esteem. At length it came to " Sir" and "Madam," and Johnson hurled at the lady this bitter sentence :—" If you have abandoned your children and your religion, God forgive your wickedness ; if you have forfeited your fame and your country, may your folly do no further mis chief." It should be remarked on this that the eldest of the " children " was grown up, while the youngest went abroad with her mother, and that Mrs. Piozzi did not abandon her religion. Her reply is admirable : _ . " July 4,17814. "Sir,—l have this morning received from you so rough • letter in reply to one which was both tenderly and re spectfully written, that lam forced to desire the coaclu mon of • cor eapoodenee which I can bear to continue no longer. The birth of my second husband is not meaner than that of my first ; his sentiments are not meaner; his profession is not meaner, awl his superiority in what he mamma acknowledged by all mankind. It is want of for tune, then, that is ignonutnous ; the character of the man I have chosen has uo other claim to such an epithet. The nslkgion to which he has been always a zealous adherent will, I hope, teach him to forgive insults lie has not de. nerved ; mine will, I hope, enable me to bear them at once with dignity and patience. To hear that 1 have forfeited my fame is indeed the greatest insult I ever yet received. My fame is as unsullied as snow, or I should think it un worthy of him who must henceforth protect it. " I write by the coach the more speedily and effectually to prevent your °ming hither. Perhaps by any fame (and I hope it is so) you mean only that celebrity which is • consideration of a much lower kind. I care for that only I as it may give pleasure to my husband and his friends " Farewell, dear sir, and accept my hest wishes. You have always commanded my esteem, and long enjoyed the fruits of • friendship never infringed by one harsh expres sion on my part during twenty years of familiar talk. Never did I oppose your will, or control your wish; nor can your unmerited severity itself lessen my regard ; but till you have changed your opinion of Mr. howl, let us converse no more. God bless you." On such grounds, a woman is a match for the most intellectual of men—tapeciall, when she is in the right. But Mrs. Pk= was not wanting in ability on purely literary grounds. She was a linguist and a scholar—not, perhaps, very pro- found, but accomplished to an extent which ap pears to have satisfied Johnson. He once told her that she had as much sense as any woman he knew, and more wit. Miss Seward describes her conversa tion as "that bright wine of the intellect which has no lees." Madame D'Arblay says, " she was a most wonderful character for talents and eccen tricity, for wit, genius, generosity, spirit, and powers of entertainment." We must beg leave, however, to suggest the omission of the words "wit" and "genius" from this characterisation. Mrs. Piozzi certainly did not possess genius, nor can her vivacity and cultivated smartness be called wit, when we can apply no higher term to the writings of Pope or Swift. She was, iu fact, one of those delightful, educated gos sips of whom the eighteenth century was prodigal. The race is now extinct, and we shall not have the same intimate knowledge of the emi nent men of the present day that we possess of Johnson and his companions. Perhaps we ought not to complain, for the age has gained iu earnest ness and intensity from the absence of this amusing habit of talking and trifling ; but it is not to be denied that the talkers and triflers did good service in their way. The most amusing characteristic of Mrs. Piozzi was the extreme altitude of her high toryism. She remarks in one cif her letters that the Devil " has a good assistant in Mr. Hone "—poor, honest, suf fenng, simple-natured " Every Day Book " Hone ; and adds, that he "is surely well paid for his work "—meaning by his Satanic Majesty. She contemplates with apparent pleasure the stopping of Henry Hunt's voice "by a rope." She speaks of "the grand knavery of these Russe ll s and Burdetts ;" adding, that "Sin in Milton acted as they do, precisely." This is a com plimentary allusion to our present Foreign Secre tary. In her work on ' British Synonymy " 1 she talks of the "disgraceful conduct" of the French nation, in the " fatal year" 1793, "towards the good House of Bourbon." And she characterises Mrs. Shelley's extraordinary romance as a marvel of impiety. All this is droll enough ; but many of her letters are full of anecdote and point. In one, dated Jan. 23, 1818, a passage occurs which we commend to Dr. Cumming " Faber says, you know, that the world is to end in 1886." Another prophecy by the same writer is alluded to in a subsequent letter, and may perhaps be interpreted by believers into a prefigurement of Napoleon 111. : All seem disposed to liberate Buonaparte. The dashing people, because he will make a dash ; and they will like to see the old firework, after a pause, burst out in • new wheel, or throw up a showy serpent for us to stare at. The grave folks expect him to fulfil Faber's new prediction of great thins yet to be accomplished by the Frantic Em peror, awl cosnider the sovereigns as very fruitlessly employed in eodeavourini to shut the Temple of Janus. The Rev. G. S. }slier here alluded to was it writer on Prophecy, who died as recently as tho year 1854. The volumes which we now dismiss contain abun dance of entertaining matter, together with some that is purely trivial, and not very clear ; but we cannot compliment Mr. Haywanl on the way in which he has put his materials together. The arrangement is loose and confused, and the reader, is often perplexed instead of being helped. The exhibition of the Society of Female Artists is nnw open at the Gallery of the New Society of Painters in Water Colours, Pall•mall. The principal new feature is the exhibition of a number of works by French ladies. This is liberal, but the new debutantes will be found formidable rivals. French female artists have long enjoyed advantages which we are only beginning to concede to female students in England, as for instance the recent admission for the first time of a female student at the Royal Academy. THE MEDICAL PROFEMION.—A London cony 'pendent of the Dublin Erening Mail says :—"The execu tive committee of the general medical council have declined to register the licentiates of the King and Queen's College of Plivaicians in Ireland as doctors of medicine. Their legal advisers in this matter are understood to be Sir Hugh Cairns and Mr. Holbhuuse, who have expressed the opinion that the licentiates of the Irish College of Physicians are not, as such, doctors of medicine, and that, even if they were, they could not be re g istered under the Medical Act, as the title is not mentiontd in schedule A. These same lawyers, on a former omaision, advised the executive com mittee to register the licentiates in midwifery of the Irish College of Surgeons and Physicians, on the express ground that these beelines were included in schedule ROYAL GENERAL THEATRICAL FUND.—YeAtorday being Ash Wednesday the members of the Royal General Theatrical Fund held their annual meeting io the saloon of the Lyceum Theatre, Mr. Buckrioue iu the chair. Accord ing to the report. which was read by the secretary, Mr. Culleotard, It appeared that the society'. income for the past year amounted to 1,3661. 16s. 2d., including a legacy of 1001. Sew Three per Cents., which, after the deductiou of legacy duty, yielded 831. 18.. Gd., bequeathed by the late Albert Smith, and the expenditure to 903/. 19s. 3d., of which sum as much as 790/. lls. 11d. was paid to an. nuitents, and 10/. to defray the funeral expenses of a de -1 ceased member. The belauce on the year was 462/. 16.. Ild. The total stock invested was 11,123/. Gs. 9d. ; there was 340/. la 7d. on deposit at Coutta's, and a further sum of 771. in the hands of the treasurer. It was also stated 'that under the will of the late Sydney Lady Morgan the fund was, according to the decision of Vice-Chancellor Stuart, entitled to a legacy of 2101. Mr. Weatherby, nee of the auditors, having borne testimony to the accuracy of the accounts, the report was, on the motion of Mr. Lewis, seconded by Mr. Worrell, unani mously adopted ; and the directors having been appointed for the ensuing year, the customary votes of thanks were accorded to the honorary physician (Dr. Hastings), the honorary solicitor (Mr. Jerwood), and the proprietor and lessee of the theatre, Mr. Arnold and Madame Celeste, for the gratuitous use of the salons and committee room. TOWER HAMLETS AVIATION FOR THE EQUALI RATION OF THE POOR RATEE.—A committee meeting of this arosiation was held in the vestry of Christ Church, St. George's East, yesterday. Present, Rev. G. H. MOW, (in the chair ), Rev. B. C. Sanger, W. J. Grundy, J. H. Carr, and B. Charles, jun., Esq., R. S. Williams, Seq., churchwarden of Christ Church, So. At the meeting a discussion arose as to the best means of car rying out the second resolution pared at the Beaumont Institution, January 30:—" That the Tower Hamlets Association be requested to renew their efforts to obtain an equalised rate in the metropolitan districts, and a mitiga tion of the evils attendant upon the laws of settlement and removal." Eventually the Rev. G. 11. submitted a petition to be sent to the House of Commons, which was unanimously agreed to by the committee, and ordered to be printed and circulated in the Tower Hamlets, together with an appeal to the ratepayer of this heavily taxed district for signatures and subscriptions to enable the society to carry out their objects successfully. The late severe weather sod the ptmed inefficiency of the Poor-law Board show the tr y for immediate action on the part of those who are mails to feel that the present state of the law is both unjust and oppressive. DRAMA. -- • LYCEUM. In a recent notice of Mr. Fechter'a appearance am boo Ccrear De Boma we took occasion to remark that melodrame was probably the most popular form of dramatic entertainment to an English play-going public : for than who hold this taste Madame Celeste hu provided a treat, by the production of The Home on the Bridge of Notre Dame. This piece, the translation of one with an exact correspond ing title written by MM. Theodore Barrier, and Henri De Kuck, and played last year with immense m om e t th e Ambign Comique, is essentially melodramatic in title, in tone, in dialogue, and in incident ; it can perhaps be best/ described ass refined and scholarly venion of a herr pontine blood-and-thunder piece, and as such productions are now somewhat rare, and as the drama under noises is well played and asmir►bly put upon the stage, it will be likely to attract an unusual amount of attention. The Count de Fouquercdles, dying, bequeaths all his fortune to Ernest de la Garde (Madame Celeste), his wife's son by a former marriage, who is then resident in Marti nique. The Chevalier de Fouquerolles (Mr. George Vining), brother of the deceased Count, who had expected to inherit the property, is disgusted at the will, and being a loose drunken debauchee with a taste for villany of every kind, he determines that young Ernest shall not come to his inheritance. Accordingly he waylays the young man on his journey to Paris, decoys bisaleto a roadside inn kept by one Rigobert (Mr. 'Willard. manhole elleiting from him all his history, suggests that ha should forego his inheritance in consideration of being paid a settled income. Ernest refuses, discover, his interlocutor (who had assumed a pseudonym), and upbraids him with his sinister intention. A duel ensues, in which the Chevalier unfairly takes advantage of a pause made by his adversary. stabs him, and with the aid of Rigobert hides the body in a cellar. The Chevalier then departs, and Eigobert is left alone; bat in a few momenta a knock is heard at the door, and Rigobert, opening it, gives admittance to Zambaro, a gipsy boy, in face, figure, and articulation the exact counterpart of the murdered Ernest—both the parts being played by Ma. dune Celeste. Rigobert is a designing villain, and imme diately determines to profit by the resemblance ; he has heard Ernest's story, he hu in his possession a pocket-book and papers which the Chevalier took from the murdered body and told him to destroy, but which he has kept ; he will pima Zambia% as Ernest, who hu not been seen by his relatives for many years, and they will share the fortune. Zambaro consents, and after Rigobert has fired the house with the intention of concealing all trace of his crime, the worthy pair leave the place. Here it must be remarked ' that all the action of this scene, from the entrance of the Chevalier and Ernest down to the proposal to substitute Lunbaro for the murdered youth, has been witnessed by ens Pettiso (Mr. Rouse), a lawyer's clerk, who was con ceded on a staircase, and who, finding the house in flames. escapes through the cellar (where the dead body is), which communicates with the banks of the river. In the second act the plot is at work. The Mee Ernest has been introduced to his mother and received by her, much to the chagrin of the Chevalier, who of course blow' that the youth is an impostor, but cannot so proclaim him without revealing his , own guilt. Fortune, however, stands his friend. Melaine de st. Ange (Miss Kato Saville), a young Creole of Martinique, to whom Ernest was engaged, has followed her lover to Paris ; she, only recently parted from Ernest, will at once see the imposture practised by Zambaro, and she shall be the Chevalier'■ instrument. Birthed., however, has also learnt the nese of Melaine's arrival in Paris, knows, moreover, that she is lodging at the house of his own sister on the Bridge of Notre Dame, and determines that Zambaro *hall visit her under cover of the darkness and endeavour to persuade her to quit Paris, and that if she refuses she shall be murdered and thrown into the Seine. The third act opens with the House on the Bridge, very cleverly boat on the stage, the front wall being taken off, i I and showing the interior. Zambero visits Melaine and attempts to induce her to fly, but she refuses ; and even tually, discovering his imposture, she gives the alarm, and is forcibly seized and carried off by Rigobert's associates. Zambaro becomes penitent, and, refusing to concert any further with Rigobert, is shot and mortally wounded by that prince of scoundrels. He lives to drag himself to dm salon of the Countess de Fouquerolles and to confess his imposture, and then dies. The Chevalier is now in high glee, but his merriment is stopped by tho sudden appear ance of Ernest do la Garde, who we find was only severely wounded in the wayside inn, and was rescued from the cellar by Pettiso, who has aided the ends of justice by pre tending friendship with both the villains, and who has not only saved Ernest, but rescued Melaine from Rigobert's boatmen. The piece sadly needs compression ; for though some of the incidents are exciting the action works but slowly, and the dialogue is of the tamest and most conventional. The entire interest centres in Madame Celeste, who plays with wondrous spirit and energy-, and whose changes of costume and character are executed with extraordinary rapidity. Mr. George Vining, though somewhat hard and metallic. good as the Chevalier, Mr. Rouse is quaint and pains taking as Pettiso, and Miss Kate Saville plays, as she always does, with much impassioned earnestness and true womanly feeling. The humours of a flower-girl, played by Miss Lydia Thompson, have no connexion with the plot, and might advantageously be omitted. The piece is very well placed upon the stage. i " 11!

ENGLISH DUTY ON FRENCH WINES. The Commercial Reform Association of France has addressed the t„ flowing letter to the Minister of Commerce : " M. le Ministre, -The committee of the Association for Commercial Reform, sitting at Beaune, has called our at tention to the measures recently introduced in England foe collecting the duties levied on wines. It appears from iupere published by the English Treasury on this sub ject that divers categories, each paying a different duty, will bs established for wines imported from all countries. We ask permission to state to your excellency that thin mode of imposing duties will be adverse to the true interests of the British Treasury as to the interests of French commerce, inasmuch as it will have for effect to limit,in a very large proportion the consumption of our wines. We feel pleasure in admitting, N. le Munstre, the frank and liberal manner in which the English government has interpreted and executed the treaty. We believe that it has been led to adopt the measures (which we take the liberty to bring to your notice) by a groundless fear of the possible con uences of smuggling. Yet the city of Paris, which also finds in the duties levied on wines by the octopi a great part of the resources which it requires, has not esta blished by categories the duties it imposes. We therefore beg of your excellency to be pleased to submit this example to the Chancellor of the Exchequer, at the . came time ex plaining to him the system of collection practised by the city of Paris, a system which secures auflicient firdoEi commerce mid Ives no opening to fmtal.—Receive, M. le Ministre, the ssamrsoce of our profound respect."
