Before speaking -of 'the picture it -may be - weft - to - nei ice the process: - - The new pietnre is commonly deedgnated a fresco. It is really a water-glass painttng.• ll"etweerr.the two methods there MS in common; that the,paintims iti executed on a ground bompoeed sand cally - iplonaeo); but there the resemble/Me cemes. lei trP; et) the intonaco must be painted on whilst it is still (whence, indeed, the name' fresco; Ital. fresh'). C(irisC?.. quently only so much of the -grom a d 7ean be s p rea d i n t h, morning as the artist can paint over during the dey. Per each day's work there must be ; laid donee a F r ei . of inteenato.. .Thist s O„O ; PsEe :nem:l44la 00. Ml' ings as:elee work_ ha •nem ied di.y; the atat sealine of tree-defies in its adaptation e e mural . eenin( here usually a large space 'has to be covered, the joinings viii probably be very numerous. Mr. Maclise has, for example, on a careful computation (and throwing cut of the rockm ing Sundays and holidays) been engaged ye ar and a hot of days on the actual painting' of this picture, which, therefore, if a fresco, must bevelled at least 560 • joining:se Now all these joinings would haVe to be cencealed. To this end the' fresed painter regulates each day's work as far es practicable by the leading outlines of his composition, if ha be prudent, takes this necessity into consideration In preparing his design. But . plaster shrinks . ' and. colottra echimge indrying, and no management can obviate the ne cessity of patching over the joinings with distemper, or some otherill-matching material; and the obvious result is injury to the local and general effect, and danger to the _permanency of the picture as a whole. 'ln water-glaes painting this difficulty is got rid of.. The entire surface to •be painted over is prepared'hefore the picture is begun, end thepainter goes on with his work, day after day, just as he Wthild if he were painting in oil on a prepared canves s , hav ing merely to moisten the surface before commencing to ,paint upon it. - • Another condition imposed by the necessity of painting in fresco upon the moist surface is, that the painter. must complete his . work at once. Fresco allows of no change or modification.. If any error be detected, the part ntnet be removed, a now coat of plaster be spread, and the section be repainted. Hence the necessity of a fac simile cartoon, the size of the picture being previously prepared. And just es Raffaelle's famous Cartoons were copied by the tapestry Workers at Arras, might the finished cartoon for a fresco be copied on the intonaco by any one else almost as well as by the designer. In fact, this is what is commonly done in the case of the much vaunted frescoes of Germany. Cornelius Or Kaulbach makes the cartoon, but the actual painting on the wall is left to scholars or assistants. Water-glass ,painting, on the other hand, p erm it s th e f reest use of the artist's individuality. He may admit or reject as much or _as little as he pleases of his original design; comet what is erroneous; avail himself as he goes on of advice or criti cism ; paint directly from his model; or what, if he be a really great painter, is best of all, follow the promptings of• his genius as he works there with his mind full of his subject, and all his heart and energy concentrated upon it. Those who saw Mr. Maclise's cartoon, when exhibited in the Royal Gallery about two years ago, will remember what a magnificent drawing it was; and, noticing a broad. general resemblance in the completed picture, will not sus pect probably that there has been any material deviation. But, in fact, Mr. Maclise has been able to make, without difficulty, alterations of every description, and thereby, from the groat amount of Information proffered during its progress, to increase materially its historical accuracy —a matter of primary importance in a work of this order. Among the other articles " Odd Letters to a London Editor,"" Society in Celtic London," and " Opera. tic Notes and Anecdotes," will be found readable. The illustrations are numerous as ever. " Three Weeks in New York," by Our.. sp cn i a i Cetrespondent," gives an extremely ,graphic an . .vivid idea of the count of that great commercial city , and conveys a " free and easy" state of society in - it: " Anybody," says the writer, " may build his house after his own fancy,, in total disregard o f the architectural style of the, houses by which. it is surrounded. Anybody may stop his cart or car riage where he likes; and so I have seen Wall street, in its busiest hours, blocked up.by a ,stop page, caused by some brewer's dray, which chose to stand still at the side of the narrow street. Anybody has a right to get into the cars.or buses as long as he can squeeze his way in." The result, -as far . as public convenience, is concerned, may be conceived. "Ravenshoe" is getting towards its close. The conflict in the Crimea is spiritedly described. Hornby is killed. Charles is wounded:; is reported to be dead, and his foster brotber Hem takes possession of the Ravenshoe estate. The RevA)r. Who well discusses" _English Hexameters" thVecial reference to " lsdr , tranektion of the Iliad," whiell he Considers Wille`whge a good one. But with his estimate of the English Hexa meter we differ ; for it is, in our opinion, the least pleasing form English poetry; can assume. The paper on "Management of the Nursery," by Archi bald Maclaren,is an excellent one. We extract' his remarks on - The Exchange. Information rather than amusement is the aim of this new magazihe, and, judging from the quality of the first number, it is likely to take a high and permanent place in public estimation. The open ing paper on "Mexico and the Intervention," eticlea- - yours to giro the reader some idea of the innumer able revolutions, or insurrections, which have con vulsed that country since 1810. In " The American Conflict : the Claims of the South," the relative position of the belligerents, with especial reference to slavery, is discussed; and under the head of "Legal Securities for English Settlers and Capital in Bengal" we have a comparison of the relative moral status of the EUROPEAN AND ASIATIC. Since the suppression of the rebellion, and the transfer of the Government, a new theory has been adopted by some of our Indian rulers. Whether they found this theory on Dis coveries in ethnology, or novel views on the results of reli gion and morals, or on political axioms revived from the doctrines of the latter end of the last century, their deter mination seems to bo that in India the European and the Asiatic shall be treated as perfectly equal. In the conside ration due to them—in the reliance to be placed on their industry and effort—in the confidence to be reposed in their integrity—in the trust in their word—no difference is to be made between the different races. Though brought up in a Christian home, and taught from his earliest youth the precepts of the Christian faith—though educated in the schools and colleges of Britain, and habituated to look with detestation on a departure from truthfulness and honesty— all this discipline of mind is to be utterly ignored : and whether in a court of justice, or in his relations with the executive government, the word of a native of B enga l i s to rece ive the same credit as that of the Englishman. The latter, when he enters a court of justice, is no longer to meet with the respect accorded to social rank, but is to be looked upon only as one of a half-naked crowd. This equality it is beyond human power to establish. In the effort to accomplish it, the European race in India may sink to the condition of the descendants of the Pei tugueso in Goa, or they may be practically expelled. The elevation of the native is not to be aided by such means. " A recog nition of the different institutions which are needed, accord ing to the state of culture and development, is the main point of superiority in the political theories of the present over the past age. Whilst our educational system in In dia confers a superficial instruction of questionable value upon a few hundreds of the upper classes, i t has not perceptibly touched the mass of the native population. The paper cf Dr. Duff, the most instructive part of the report of the In digo Commission, shows the true method of elevating the native character. It exhibits the utter moral and mental degradation to which the maxims, practices, and supersti tions that form the native education must inevitably lead. ju dges, whether result is what might bo expected. The whtther British or native,• must decide on probabilities, not on direct evidence. " Twenty men," said Mr. Mangles, " will swear point blank to one side of the case upon a mere matter of fact, and twenty men will swear point blank to the other side. It is utterly hopeless that the judge should decide by the more weighing of the evidence. If men be condemned by the mere evidence of eye-witnesses, - which in England is the best evidence, no man's life would be ' safe." It is because of this impossibility of arriving at the trnth by any of the ordinary means to which we in this country resort, that most of our disputes on Indian ques tions arise, and are protracted without end. But to a coun try where he cannot protect himself personally by his cou rage, or morally by his character, it is not desirable that an Englishman sh ou ld b e t em pt e d to go. To value his word and that of the Bongalee alike, is as if we required a mer chant to accept at its nominal price a depreciated currency, in exchange, and as equivalent, for the gold ;I_l ho wpnghli.. his own payments are made. The importance of man in India does not, as in the colonies, depend upon his personal labour, but on his own power and influence in di recting the Asiatic; and these cannot exist if fl the govern ment and the magistrate--those-n him no greater title to th e i r judicial power—reco g nise the other races by whom h e i s confidence than inonoof surrounded, and outnumbered athoand to one.

Sd., ON THE SUCCESSFUL TREATMENT o f STRICTURES of the URETHRA; showing why they so often appear Incurable, when in reality they might be removed by the most simple means. By F. B. COURTENAY, M.R.C.S.E., And formerly Surgeon to the Metropolitan Infirmary for the Cure . of Strictures of tile Urethra. " This work is the production of a surgeon whose spe c ial attention has been directed, throttp;h a long professional life, to the treatment of strictures of the urethra. The cases which Mr. Courtenay has given supply ample evidence of . his great discriminative power in the diagnosis of the vanous kinds of stricture, and of the scientific principles upon which their management is founded. By his systematic management an immense mitigation of pain to the unhappy sufferers is attained, and future mischief prevented. The work we can most unreservedly and confidently recommend as a valuable contribution, both to the general and professional reader, and ought to be found in the private study of all who are subject to stricture."--:Aledical Circular.

STATUE TO SIR C. BARRY.—Arrangements are in progress for erecting a statue to the memory of the late Sir C. Barry in what is known as " the Witnesses' Lobby" of the new houses of Parliament. The statue, which is of marble, is in the hands of Mr. Foley, R.A., and will be ill its place in, the coureo of a few weeks, .. • THE MAGAZINES. Blackwood's Mag azine . This is, upon the whole, an excellent number ; especially good is the continuation of "The Chro nicles of Carlingford ;" we remember no serial story Not only are the e t h ha a t rac h te as rs in i t n e d r i e v s i t d e u d al us an m d or r e e . al real, but they are con trasted with a skill which shows artistic power of a very high order. In this part the young minister, disgusted with his cool reception in fashionable society, devotes all his energies to the pulpit. He delivers a course of lectures—the chapel is too small for the auditors, the Music-hall is engaged, even Lady Weston honours him with her presence. And the susceptible Vincent is once more fascinated by her advances. We extract the following descrip tion of eloquence at SALEM CHAPEL TEA MEETING. And even when at last the social meal was over, when the urns were cleared away, and with a rustle and flutter the assembly composed itself to the intellectual regale about to follow, Mr. Vincent did not change his position. Mr. Raffles made quite one of his best speeches; he kept his audience in a perpetual flutter of laughter and applause; he set forth all the excellencies of the now minister with such detail and fulness as only the vainest would have swal lowed. But the pleased congregation still applauded. He praised Mr. Tufton, the venerable father of the community; he praised the admirable deacons ; he praised the arrange ments. In short, Mr. Raffles applauded everybody, and everybody applauded Mr. Raffles.. .A.fter-thentrairmfm had - concluded his speech, the hero of the evening gatheredhim self up dreamily, and rose from Phoebe Tozer's side. He told them he had been gazing at them this hour past,study ing the scene before him ; how strangely they appeared to him, standing . on this little bright gaslighted perch amid the dark sea of life that surged round them • that now ho and they were face to face with each other, dwas not their social pleasure he was thinking of, but that dark unknown existence that throbbed and echoed around : he bade them reinember the dark night which enclosed thtit town of Car lingford, without betraying the secret of its existence even to the nearest village ; of those dark streets and houses which hid so many lives and hearts and tragic histories ; he enlarged upon Mrs. Hillyard's idea of the sentiment of " such a night," till timid people threw . glances behind them, and some sensitive mothers paused to wonder whe ther the minister could have heard that Tommy had fallen 'into the fire, or Mary scalded herself, and took this way to break the news. The speech was the strangest that ever was listened to at a tea party. It was the wayward capri cious pouring forth of a fanciful young mind under an un quiet influence, having no connection whatever with the " object," the place, or the listeners. The consequence was, that it was listened to with breathless interest—that the faces grew pale and the eyes bright, and shivers of re strained emotion ran through the astonished audience. Mr. Vincent perceived the effect of his eloquence, as a nursery story-teller perceives the rising sob of her little hearers. When hp saw it, he awoke, as the same nursery minstrel does sometimes, to feel how unreal was the sentiment in his own breast which had produced this genuine feeling in others, and with a sudden amusemezt proceeded to deepen his colours and,make bolder strokes of effect. His success waslperfect ; before he concluded, he had in imagination dismissed the harmless Salem people out of their very in nocent recreation to the dark streets which thrilled round them—to the world of unknown life, of which each man for himself had some knowledge—to the tragedies that might be going on side by side with them, for aught they knew. His hearers drew a long breath when it was over. They were startled, frightened, enchanted. If they had been witnessing a melodrama, they scarcely could have been more excited. He had put the most dreadful sugges tions in their mind of all sorts of possible trouble ; ho sat down with the consciousness of having done his duty by Salem for this night at least. • " Caxtoniana" - this month is clever and amusing. The writer even condescends to pun. He tells us in the essay " On Shyness "—" It was shyness, and nothing else, that made the bashful conquerors in the Great Rebellion so delicately silent about them selves in the welcome they gave; to the courteous and elegant exile. In fact, they have no other ex cuse; they were shy, and they shied away their liberties." In "The Lives of Two Ladies" we have a comparison of two last century celebrities, Mrs. Delany and Mrs. Thrale. "Political Trage dies in Japan" gives a curious account of the Go vernment of that country and of the discord engendered there by the foreign treaty. "A Box of Books" is a chatty article upon some of the litera ture of the day. It thus speaks of THE AGE OF CHTVALE.Y. Men beating their wives, and even women not their wives, with whom they quarrel, is a commo n incident in these sle an d romances. The chevalier Do la Tou r Lan dry tells his daughters the story of a woman who was in the habit of contradicting her husband in public, and re plying to him ungracionsly—a habit, it must be confessed, trying to the sweetest of marital tempers, and one not yet departed from the civilised world. What did this husband ? After expostulating with her in vain, ho one day raised his fist and knocked her down. Unhappily for the credit of chivalry, ho went even further, for he kicked her in the face when she was down, and broke her nose. 4 ( And so," adds the knight, improving the story with a moral for his daughters, " she was disfigured for life, and thus, through her ill-behaviour and bad temper, she had her nose spoiled, which was a great misfortune to her." The "-Works of Charles Lever" are reviewed and praised. " The Purpose and. Prospects of the Inter- national Exhibition" are discussed, and the number ends with a review of Spence's work on " The American Union." Dublin University Magazine. One of the most interesting articles in the present number is that on " Leinster Folk-Lore.' No country, perhaps, is richer in legends of saints, trolls, banshees, and other beings of the marvellous and supernatural order than Ireland. Though, of course, this kind of traditionary lore is gradually dying out. The writer gives specimens of those he has met with which may, he says, " be safely ac cslpted as genuine reports of the oral legends and stories in the districts lying near the White Mann tal'ns, Blackstairs, and Mount Deinster, faithfully set down in the idiom of that part of the country.

To many minds, a novel by Sir E. Bulwer Lytton comes like the unfolding of a new world. How many Muscular Christians have not Messrs. Hughes and Kingsley helped on their conquering way P A really great novel will move the heart as strongly, and to as noble ends, as a great picture or poem. To read one or two such withcare, is in itself an education. Who has not felt his whole being raised and purified as he ,witcnsd by the sick bed of poor little dying Nell, or followed the failing fortunes of brave old Colonel Newcome ? Each thrill of honest scorn for the prosperous Pecksniff and the cool, self-satis fied Barnes Newcome ; of heartfelt tenderness for quiet Tom Pinch and self-forgetful Dobbin; of fierce dislike for the scheming Mrs. Mackenzie; of reluctant awe at the cleverness of Becky Sharpe; of joy at the downfall of Squeers and the forced departure of Sampson Brass; of pity for Ethel's half-deserved misfortunes, and poor, peni tent Nancy's cruel end, brings us, for the moment, nearer heaven by one or the other of those two great avenues, the brain and the heart, along which our life's daily pulses keep always gliding to and fro. If the spells thus wrought are too often momentary; if the blossom but now so fair be too seldom followed by an answering measure of fruit, we are, after all, but poor, weak; wavering creatures, whose pro gress upward is marked by a close succession of falls, whose highest hopes in the future must be grounded mainly on tho remembrance of a few such real, but short-lived tri umphs in the past. The tales of " The House by the Churchyard," and " Mildrington, the Barrister," are still in progress, and the remaining articles treat of "The Yang-tze- Kiang," " Calderon,".

Thalatta 1" Intensity that of " Barren Honour," and neither diminish in interest. " The Income Tax and the plans for its Reform," are discussed in an able paper. Sir George Lewis, in an article on " The Roman Book Trade under the Empire," gives the result of his researches into that branch of business in ancient times ; and " Notes from Numidia," narrate a traveller's experience on the voyage from Marseilles to Africa, and on his arrival there. The article on "Mental Epidemics" treats of the different phases of popular mania from " The Brotherhood of the Flagellents, which aston ished Europe in the fourteenth century, and down to the present fashionable one on Spiritualism. We quote these cases showing the influence of MORBID SYMPATHY. Women living in seclusion are of course especially ob noxious to the influence of this morbid sympathy ; partly owing to the nervous irritability which is the usual effect of such a life, partly to the excessive importance acquired by the most trifling incidents in the absence of active occu pation and of external objects of interest to engage the at tention and divert the mind from unhealthy introspection. But positions less favourable to its operation are far from being wholly exempt from it. A singular story is related of an occurrence in a cotton-mill in Lancashire in 1787. A girl put a mouse into the bosom of another girl who had a great dread of mice. She was instantly thrown into vio lent convulsions, which lasted 24 hours. The next day three more girls were thrown into similar convulsions, and the day following six more. A physician was sent for, but before he arrived 23 girls had been seized in the same way, and one man, who had been employed in holding them during the fits. The work in the factory was stopped, and the idea prevailed that some disease had been introduced by a bag of cotton which had been recently opened. This conviction spread through the country, and thre3 more fac tories, four or five miles distant, were infected, although the workers in them had never seen any of the original patients, but, like them, were impressed with the belief that the plague had been caught from the cotton.. The convulsions were so violent as to require four or five per sons to prevent the sufferers from dashing their heads against the wall. The doctor bethought him of trying the effect of electric shocks, and the application was uniformly successful. As soon as a few had been relieved, and the disorder was thus shown to be a nervous affection easily cured, and not introduced by the cotton, no fresh ease oc curred. A somewhat similar circumstance occurred in 1801 in a hospital at Berlin. A young woman, who had previously been an inmate, came to visit a patient, and on entering fell down in convulsions. Six female patients were immediately seized in the same way, and shortly after eight others, including two nurses. All were ultimately cured, and the disorder spread no further, but their treat ment lasted for four months. In these cases there was no enthusiasm, nor, in the former at least, any exciting cause predisposing them to convulsions : in the latter, the pa tients had all, it appears, been suffering previously more or less from nervous complaints. There are reviews of the autobiography of " Mrs. Delany," of Mr. Gould's magnificent work on " Humming Birds," and the lives of "'The Engi neers," by Mr. Smiles, whilst in " My Highland Home," the experience of a " Southron" turned laird are dilated on. United Service Magazine. A very able article on " Our New Bengal Native Army" opens this number, in which the rational mode of treating the native chiefs is pointed out, and the example of Russia in the Crimea quoted as worthy of imitation. The writer on " The Arm strong Gun" defends that weapon against recent attacks; and in "Portsmouth in Danger" we have strong arguments used for the immediate construc tion of docks sufficiently large to take such iron steamships as we are at present building ; and the superiority of the dock accommodation at Cher bourg is clearly shown. "At the present time," says the writer, " France could refit, renew, and sand to sea a second fleet of ironsides quicker than England, and until we were prepared to meet her again the English Channel, with its rich freighted ships, would be at the mercy of our great, in fact, our only, maritime rival." The account of " The Medals of the British Army" is readable. " The first medal," it seems, " was given by Charles I. in 1643, for soldiers engaged in forlorn hopes," but the Parliament was not slow to follow the example, and it employed the celebrated engraver Simon, who consulted with Cromwell as to the design. Various episodes in the Peninsular and other wars are touched on, and in the retreat of Sir John Moore occurred A SCRAMBLE. The advanced guard, of the French were again repulsed two days afterwards. j3ut they were coming on with such force that our troops could not make a moment's delay, and at this critical time they road became blocked by two wag gons containing the military treasure. It was a decided fix ; for the teams of bullocks were exhausted, and could go no further. There w as, indeed, only one modo of extri cation, and that was, to abandon the money, which was done by rolling the casks of dollars down the mountain, and so avoiding a scramble by the soldiers, which would have endangered the whole army. Only the rear regiments of the reserve were present at the time, and Lieutenant Ben not, of the 28th, was directed by Sir John Moore to shoot any soldier who left the ranks; but happily, not a man stirred.

Not only is it Bible to be rendered impure and unfit for rise by its being lie common recipient of the waste particles of every Eutrofindingobject (and hence the necessity for the systematic, fit:Life/Ire and frequent cleansing of the nursery), but, (lien ivhenvire it must be kept in constant motion to continue so. Fill a room with fresh air, shut doors and WindoWS, give it no outlet, and in` half an hour it will have deteriorated, and this deteriorttien will 'be perceptible to the sense'of smell, and will diminish the pleasure and comfort of respiration. Air, to be fit for hiunan lungs, must be less or more in motion, and, to be this, it must be in. communication with the great air-ocean outside of our dwellings—that bright translucent sea, at the bottom of which we all 'live, and move, and have our.being. But this can be secured by the smallest ehannel, just as the waters of a lake may be kept fresh by the inlet of the smallest rivulet, with the outlet of the most' diminutive sluice. An aperture of an inch wide along a single window will keep sweet and in healthful motion the air of a large room. This principle is generally , understood and practically carried out in all house-ventila tion. A permanent connection with the external air is effected by the fireplace and its flue ;_ the air of the room, it is calculated, will rise through the flue, where the atmos pheric pressure is least, and the air outside on a level with the room will press through chink of window and door to 'fill its place. And, under ordinary circumstances, this cal culation is sound, and the results satisfactory; but, in rooms where fires are seldom kept, the air in the flue be comes damp and stagnant, and the communication with the external air is virtually stopped. Hence the value of fires as aids to ventilation. Not only do they change the atmos phere more rapidly while they are burning, and the same time draw all lingering damp from walls, and fleor, and furniture, but they dry and keep free the permanent chan nel of ventilation. But this means will be found insufficient where the air of the room is to supply many pairs of lungs, A. nearer and more direct channel becomes necessary ; and there is lone better than that given by lowering the windows a little space, according to the state of the weather, at the highest point above the heads of the inmates. Through this opening the effete air will pass, and its place be sup plied, and motion obtained, by the admission of fresh air through other channels. But, for the nursery, even this will be found inadequate to the preservation of a pure , at mosphere, and the process just recommen ded for the begin -1 ning of the day should be repeate d at given periods throughout its course—namely, the setting wide open of every window and door,. while its inmates have been with drawn. Pure air is as important asp roper food—if pos sible, more so; for, while the natural effects of improper food may be resisted by the counter-influences of air, bath ing, clothing, and exercise, nothing can counteract the in fluence of impure air. The organs of mastication, diges tion, and assimilation will all have an influence on the con version of food into blood; but air passes through no inter mediate channel, undergoes no intermediate operation—at once from lip to lung it passes, and the union for good or fbrtevil is final. Life may be supported many days without food ; it cannot be supported many moments without air. That also on " Visions and Dreams," by the Rev. John Cunningham, D.D., is readable, and there is an interesting account of "The Oxford University Museum," one of the most successful efforts that have recently been made to revive among us a more ornate style of architecture, as well as to educate a class of art workmen analogous to that which flourished in the middle ages. The writer evidently belongs to the Gothic faction in art, and the follow ing extract will convey some idea of the decora tive aim of the building:— ART AND NATURE. The principle of diversity in unity has been carried out in all portions of this building —even in the presumably temporary painting of the ironwork ; in certain forms of leafage in the capitals of the shafts that constitute the arcades ; in the corbels; and, as we observe, oven in the seemingly unimportant details of cabinet and carpenters' work, such as the fittings of the doors leading to the lec turers' rooms and the theatres. The carvings of no two windows are alike ; indeed, beyond the bare shell of the building, the utmost variety—soul of true Gothic as it is, for variety means freedom in art—has been sought after. It has been the object to leave to the power of each highly skilled artizan, as appears to have been the mediEeval prac tice, to whom aught of the decorative work was intrusted, an opening for his own idiosyncrasy to develop itself; so that, subordinate only to certain, general rules, every car- . ving, each point of ornament, may be called a labour of sheer love, in which the' carver's heart was allowed . to re joice, and the man bent himself heartily and intelligen . tly to do a good thing affectionately. A very different . thing this, the realer will see, from the . endless pointing of me chanical acanthi or torus mouldings fitted with a template of iron, or the dreary chiselling of endless rows of the so called ram's-horns of the lonic capital! Not such are the carvings here. The artizan has sought in the lush re cesses of the neighbouring river-bank for crisp water plants, or those that love the margins and whip the stream ; in the shady woods dank ferns have been found to be models of loveliest form ; the humblest field weed has yielded up her shy beauty, and stands immortalized here in the stone ; the lillies have an unchanging glory; the hillside-loving pine has bent her sturdy branches and been found delight ful ; while the wide-blooming marsh-mallow that tottered before the wind is here steadfast for ever. It requires very little consideration to recognise the infinitely greater de light there must be in such a building, not only to the spectators, but the workman himself, than is like to be found in any endless series of acanthi, ram's-horns, or the like. Can we conceive a carver coming back to his work, after completion with templates, or machinery of that sort. with any satisfaction ? There could be nothing to call him out of himself in such toil. But might not a carver come back to look at these tottering marsh .mallows, or dwell with a cunning satisfaction upon the artful way in which he dealt with that aloe which so skilfully dodges the angle in the north-m, est corner of the lower arcade ? It is true that none of this work is entirely satisfactory. Mere imitation and reproduction, however exquisite, is not the end of art— least of all, of architectonic decoration; and we miss a little of the needful conventionalizing suitable to architec ture. But that in its best quality, must come, and, in deed, only can come, through a course of study such as that here shown to have been worthily begun. Thf, reader will see that the word " conventionalizing" is used in a sense other than the vulgar one. London Society. The opening article in the new number called "The Cost of Amusing the Public," gives a curious and interesting account of theatrical statistics. " The whole number of theatres in the United King dom is 133," and of these London contains 25, Scot land, it seems, has only 9, and Ireland but 5. The annual receipts of the London theatres are calcu lated at £350,000, whilst the amount annually spent on amusements throughout the kingdom is upwards of a million: We extract from it this account of DRAMATIC AUTHORS. There is another class of persons who derive an income from the organised business of amusing the public—we mean the dramatic authors. This class, though perhaps but little esteemed by managers and actors, may neverthe less be truly said to be the mainspring of the whole theatrical machine. What could managers and actors do without pieces ? And good pieces, as a rule, can only come from skilled hands. Amateurs may occasionally write good novels or good verses ; but an amateur author who had not previously made the stage a close study never yet wrote a good play. There are technicalities and arti fices in stage writing which nothing but experience and observation can teach. It requires almost an apprentice ship to be a good playwright. It might be said that any one of ordinary ability, with pen, ink, and paper in his hand, could write a play. But so it might be said that any one with leather and lanstone, wax-ends and an awl to his hand, could make a pair of shoes. So he could, perhaps, but both the play and the shoes would be rather clumsy,• and the one would be no more likely to draw an audience than the other to attract a customer. Dramatic writing is not so much a regular profession in this country as it is in France; but still it is to some extent a profession, -and its members are so far banded together as a class, that they have a sort of guild for the protection of their mutual in terests. This guild is known as the Dramatic A u th ors ' Society, and almost e ver y recognised author o f re p u t e i s a member of it. Its object is entirely a business one. The members registe r all their pieces in th e boo ks of the society, and the ma nagement , for a c er t a i n percen t age b y way of commission , collects the fees for the performance of their pieces in t he p rovinces. The b usines s of collection is simplified in t his way. The pro v i nc i a l th ea t re s are ra t e d at so much a -year. according to size. One pays, say £209 per annum, another £l5O, another £ICO, and so on down to the lowest ra te, and for the se ann u a l payments the ma nagers are entitled to play an y pieces registered on the society's list. The Whole receipts of the society are then divided among the authors according to the number of times their pieces have been played, and in shares in pro h portion to the class 9f piece. The system of disposing of THE SAFETY LAMP. If safety-lamps were introduced into all coal mines, the a dditional cost, which might amount to one penny per ton of coal raised, would fall on the public, who would tar rather pa y such a tax than hear of the los s of 200 lives a year from explosions alone. We are, however, well aware that the great difficulty in manager h proposednineintroducing them arises f rom the prejudice of the men them selves. We have been p resent at a meeting of miners working in a pit wher e an explosion had taken place through a candle, by Nviel iv jo ro s p we v r i e d l e o o st il . The and lamps, and to bear all the expenses of cleaning them and keeping them in order, though the men had been in the habit of finding their own candles. The meeting was hold on the very day of the inquest ; and yet, when put to the vote, the general use of s'ifety-lamps was only carried by the manager using his casting-vote The great objection raised by the men to their uce is tho insufficient light they give, so that the same ars( lint of work cannot be done with them as with candles. Tnis is true as regards the Davy lamp, which is generally used in this country; but there are other lamps, which give near;y tour times as much light as the Davy, and which are infi nitely more safe for the men, The Stephenson and Clanny lamps are of this class ; but, as made at present, they are too expensive for ge neral It sC. The Mueseiur lamp, adopted by the Belgian Govern.-no nt for all coal mines in that country, can be obtained here at the cost of 5e 6d each—a price at least as low as that paid for the common Davy. '1 he flame of this lamp being surr ou nded by a glass cylin der, is hardly affected by such a c urrent of air as would blow the flame of the Davy lamp tilmugh the gauze ; it also becomes extinguished in an explosive atmosphere —so that the safety of every person in the pit would not depend on the lamp being withdrawn s lowly and steadily out of an explosive atmosphere, as i s the case with the Davy Ith np , The Commercial News and Statistics seem full and trustworthy, and we doubt not that the magazine will be largely patronised among the mercantile part of the community. id-sci . -
