Parliament standing prorogued until to-day, the Lord Chancellor, and the other noble peers named in the Royal Commission, entered the House of Peers at two o'clock. The Commons having been summoned to the bar, The LORD CHANCELLOR, in compliance with the Royal Commission, desired Parliament to assemble on Thursday, the 3d of February, for the consideration of divers urgent and important affairs. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) COURT OF CHANCERY. (Before the Lord Chancellor.) APPEAL.-WYTHER V. LABOUCHERE. Sir Richard Bethel, Q.C., resumed his argument in this part-heard appeal for the respondent at the sitting of the court this morning. It is probable the arguments will continue the whole day. - (Before Vice-Chancellor Sir William Page Wood.) JUDGMENT.-TAYLOR Y. THE GREAT INDIAN PENIN- SULAR RAILWAY COMPANY. The contention in this case was, whether there was a regular transfer and sale of a number of shares of this com pany to the plaintiff. It appeared that the company had fallen into an irregular practice in selling and transferring shares in groups and upon ad valorem. stamps, and the question raised was, whether the shares sold were £2 or £2O shares, and whether there was a legal deed of trans ference executed of these shares. His Honour the Vice-Chancellor, after delivering a long and elaborate judgment, and referring to the practice of jobbers and stockbrokers in the sale and transfer of shares of railway companies, considered that it would not be necessary to restrain by injunction any further proceedings in this case, and orderdd the deeds to be delivered up to the company, and 120 shares delivered to the plaintiff, Mr. Taylor. And unless the sum of £135 is paid, with interest at the rate of 4 per cent., costs to be paid to the company, with liberty to apply. ROLLS COURT. (Before the Master of the Rolls, Sir John Rowdily.) JUDGMENT.--BOURHART V. HOUGHTON. This was an application for an injunction to restrain the defendant from carrying into execution a verdict obtained by him against the plaintiff for injuries done to his land by the copper works of the plaintiff. The defendant at law obtained a verdict for £450 damages. His Honour the Master of the Rolls considered that the defendant was at liberty to have his rights ascertained at law ; and, although he might not be entitled to complain of the nuisance of the plaintiff's works at the time he en tered upon his farm, yet he was entitled to complain upon an extension of the works, and obtain damages for an ex tension of the nuisance complained of.

His Honour refused the motion with costs. COURT OF QUEEN'S BENCH. (Before Lord Campbell.) HUGHES V. DINORBEN.-LIBEL. Mr. Macaulay, counsel for Lady Dinorben, having ob tained a rule calling upon the plaintiff to show cause why the verdict of the jury, which was for the plaintiff, should not be set aside, the Attorney-General, for Mr. Hughes, this morning, supported the verdict. The cause was tried in June last, before Lord Campbell, when, after three or four days, the jury found a verdict for the plaintiff, and damages, by consent, were assessed at 40s. The plaintiff, Mr. Hughes, was a gentleman of fortune, the proprietor of Kinmel-park, in Denbighshire, and he brought his action against Lady Dinorben, the widow of his uncle, the first Lord Dinorben, under pecu liar circumstances. The first Lord Dinorben was the eldest son of the Rev. Edward ,Hughes, a gentleman who, besides being possessed of a very large property, married an heiress, and acquired another lan.° property also in the north of Wales. At his death the whole of his vast fortune passed to his eldest son, Colonel Hughes, who afterwards became Lord Dinorben. He married, and had two daughters, but only one son, who unfortunately became a lunatic. Having lost his first wife, Lord Dinorben, in 1840, being then at the advanced age of 72, married the pre sent defendant, and died in 1852. The plaintiff was the son of Lord Dinorben's younger brother, who died about 1836. There had not been that friendly intercourse between the two brothers which might be expected and desired from such near relations ; and after the death of Mr. Hughes, the plaintiff's father, the estrangement was continued between the plaintiff and his uncle. Upon Lord Dinorben's death an attempt was made by the plain tiff to bring about a reconciliation, but in vain; and al though some communication passed between him and Lady Dinorben, he continued to be almost a stranger to her. In consequence of the unfortunate condition of the second Lord Dinorben, proceedings Were about to be taken to issue a commission of lunacy, and contemporaneously the plain tiff became attached to one of the daughters of the present Lord Ravensworth. In July, 1852, an engagement was made between them, although the marriage was for a time deferred, and of course the intercourse between the pldintiffand the family of his intended wife was of the most friendly nature. The Attorney-General, in the course of his remarks said, the present rule had been obtained on the ground that several of the letters were improperly put in, and that the verdict was against the evidence. The short and conclu sive answer to the arguments of his learned friend, Mr. Macaulay, was, that such objection now came too late, as he ought to have made it at the trial, when the letters were put in and read by the officers of the court. Mr. Macaulay said the letters were never read in due form by the officer of the court, or he should have done so. The contents of the letters were made known to the jury by the learned Attorney-General in the course of his opening speech, and, therefore, he had no opportunity of objecting. The Attorney-General said his learned friend, he now remembered, was quite right; but, under the circum stances, he thought the conclusion come to by the jury was correct, and therefore the present rule ought to be discharged. [The case was proceeding when we went to press.] BRISTOL SUGAR-MARKET, Jan. 12.—There bas not been much competition in the sugar-market since the opening this day week after the holydays, but about 500 hhds. West India have been sold at steady prices. In rum the only transactions are 118 puns. of Demerara, at 2s. 3d. proof. SUICIDE BY MR. ACKERMAN, THE PUBLISHER. — In the morning of yesterday Mr. Ackerman was found lying partly undressed on his bed in an apparently lifeless state, a tumbler that had contained prussic acid being found near him. An inquest was held before Mr. Wakley yester day, when a verdict of suicide was returned, the state of de ceased's mind being left an open question. PRESENTATION OF PLATE TO MR. ROBERT DUFFELL.—Thio gentleman, the manager of the " Royal Property," was presented, last Tuesday with a very hand some testimonial, valued at upwards of fifty pounds, sub scribed by the entire companrof these gardens, as a mark of respect for his very gentlemanly and upright conduct in his management of the gardens last season. The testi monial consisted of a gold watch and chain, a silver snuff box, and a silver tankao. SUCCESSFUL SURGICAL OPERATION.—A rare and difficult operation has just been performed by Dr. P. H. Watson, F.R.C.S. The child of Peter Low, engine man, Granton, had swallowed a common dress-hook, un noticed by the mother, on Thursday last. The parents were recommended to apply to Dr. Watson, in the hope of saving th© child's life ; and, trusting to his skill, they left the case in his hands. On Saturday last he made an inci sion into the cricoia cartilage and removed the hook. The child is now doing well, and shows every symptom of a speedy recovery. —Edinburgh. Courant. From a return lately published it appears that the number of ships that entered the port of Hamburg in the year 1858 was 4,364, with crews of 44,540 men, against 5,067 in 1857, with crews of 51,746 men, and 5,201 in 18.56, with 49,264 men. The decrease of last year has been caused by the depressed state of trade. Of the various nations the English were the most numerous, the total number of ves sels sailing under he British flag being 1,698; the next being the HanoveVian, numbering 781. Only 22 ships be longed to the United States. MEETING AT SHEFFIELD. AN AMERICAN ON THE BALLOT. On Tuesday evening a meeting was held in the Tem perance Hall, Sheffield, to consider " The importance of making the ballot a part of the New Reform Bill." There was a very numerous attendance. Alderman H. E. 'Thole presided, and on the platform we observed Edward C. Whitehnrst, Esq., vice-chairman of the London Ballot Society; Pliny Miles, Esq., of 'America; Mr. F. Sims, Sheffield, agent of the Ballot Society, &c. Mr. PLINY MILES was loudly applauded on rising. He said he did not know that he was called upon to make any excuse for his appearance. Though his voice was feeble, he would raise it in a country like this in furthering the ballot. To him it was a matter of surprise that there should be anything like objection to vote by ballot, provided the rulers consented to allow the people to vote at all. (Cheers.) In the United States they believed that all power emanated from and belonged to the people. There was a party in this country, who were known as their rulers, when in reality they should be their servants. (Hear, hear.) He was not there to advance anything which might be taken up as an argument for cer tain parties or certain conditions of society, but to state certain facts. Their opponents had said the ballot did not work well in America. True some people were not strictly honest, and they had a very wide suffrage ; certainly the American was not a perfect Government, neither was the English one. (Hear.) They had next the universal suf frage in all their states, and their nation had gone through prosperity unequalled for nearly a hundred years. We were accustomed to think the tsvo Governments were among the best in the world for the government of the people. English people were accustomed to think theirs the best, and Americans did the same. If he were asked what form of Government he would prefer, he should choose the lat ter; but it must be a fundamental maxim that all power existed in the people, and not necessarily in certain parties that were born in certain positions. Their rulers had to come to them to carry on the springs of war, for taxes, for money, and why should not they came to them for power. (Cheers.) He was conversing the other day with one of those simple, well-meaning persons they would find every.. where, whom he met in London, and he said he did not know what to think of the ballot; he could not understand it. He (the speaker) told him there was no difficulty in understanding it; it was exceedingly simple. They had it in America to protect the voter in bis inalienable rights as well as for convenience. The people were not accountable to others for their use of power. When the people in America sent their representatives to Washington to make regu.,_ lotions for the public good, they said "We will have no secrets with you, and every vote you cazt shall bo an open one : we will not allow you to go there and vote under the rose." Then at the end of two years, if they were not pleased with the votes given, they said, " Stand on one side, and we will put somebody else in your place." (Hear.) It to him looked a very simple matter. He did not appre ciate the political system of this country, but at the same time it appeared to him, that if they were called upon to give an opinion, it should not be one of coercion. There was a difference between voting of one's own free will, and being driven to it at the point of the bayonet. If they allowed people to vote, and did not allow them to vote as they pleased, then the operation simply became a farce. They had on the table a copy of an American ballot box. They had generally a larger box than that, because they had generally a larger number of votes in most communities than that box would hold. But people came to a table like that where everybody stood round. There were two or three inspectors of elections. A voter handed his paper to one of them, and he had no right to open it or to look at it. He saw that it was a single piece of paper, and took it before his brother inspector and dropped it into the box, and thus the process went on silently and secretly. Some English men said they had disorderly elections. They had had sometimes a little disorder. Even in New York they had sometimes disorderly elections, it was said. And had they not in this country sometimes disorderly elections? (Hear, hear.) He was told that one man in every six had the power of voting in this country. In America five-sixths had tho power; and he believed that more than two fifths of the residents in New York were persons of foreign birth, and were, therefore, much less under control ; and yet he had never seen anything like lighting at the polls. There was very frequently a great deal of delay caused by what was called challenging the votes, that was, in suspicious cases a person said he would challenge the vote. A magistrate who was present took up the Bible, and the voter had to make oath that he was legally a voter, and qualified to vote under the constitution of the state; and some instances had been found where persons had perjured themselves. The ballot was a great advantage where there was a very wide suffrage, and he must say that open bribery was certainly not common in America, that going and purchasing votes was not common. for a very good reason—that there was too large a crowd to buy; and another reason was that the purchaser was buying a very uncertain piece of goods that could take wings and fly away. (Laughter.) Suppose there were two candidates, one named Wood ; he (Mr. Miles) could get voting papers for each candi date. If then, a ruffian, friendly to Wood, came up and insisted on knowing how he (Mr. Miles) was going to vote, what would he gain by his question P He could show him the voting paper with Mr. Wdod's name on it, as though he were going to vote for Wood, yet drop the oppo nent's voting paper into the box, and the ruffian could not ascertain for whom he had voted. So, vote without the ballot looked to him just like saying, "We will permit the people nominally to have a certain power, but in reality we will give them none, providing we can get them under our thumb." He could not see a reason why the people should not have theballot, except for one simple reason—that were it adopted intimidation could not go on. He had heard of one or two persons from Virginia who said the ballot box was quite useless. One said it was the box of Pandora, from whence issued every evil. There were, however, opinions Virginia not prevalent in any other of the states. In colonial times, he believed it was there that one of the original magistrates thanked God there were no schools and no learning. The present governor of the State of Virginia was Mr. Wise, who stated, in Congress) that he came there from the county of Virginia, and he thanked God there was not a newspaper in the county. He did not know that they were discussing the qualifica tions of electors, but on that subject there was the opinion of one of their eminent men, which was worth quoting. A bill was proposed, which provided that no man should have a vote unless he was worth 250 dollars. Benjamin Franklin heard the debates in favour of the property qualification. He did not see precisely the ground of argument, but, after listening. he said ho thought the votes were cast by men; and he did not know why men worth nothing should have a vote as well as the man worth 250 dollars. He said a man might have a cow, a pig, a quantity of household furniture, or a donkey. If that amounted to 250 dollars, he would have a vote ; but before the next election the ass might die, and then he could not have the vote. He added, "Now, gentlemen, is it the man that votes, or is it the jackass ?" (Laughter.) He once heard of a candidate for office in New York, who had a friend, a banker, of some in fluence, and he asked his friend if he would assist him in being elected to a certain office. The banker acquiesced, and said ho would. He stumped for him--that was he made some speeches in his favour. The election day came, the ballots were deposited, and it was found that the gentleman had got just three votes. " Why, how is this ?" said the can didate. The banker could not tell. Ho said, " Certainly there are three votes. I put in one, and you put in ano ther, but where the devil the other came from I cannot tell." (Laughter.) In America they had a process of counting noses, as they called it. The agents, canvassers, and can didates went round and asked about the votes, so as to form an estimate of the result of the election, and they could judge only by the promises given. He might ask in this country if it were not known how every man voted ? The poll book was open to every one, and could be made use o:. Could that be done in the United States ? No. If a largo_ employer, or a man renting land, or one who had a good deal of influence on those around him, should attempt to coerce them, why then it was perfectly easy for them to go and deposit a vote, which could not possibly be known to the candidates. The law protected him in giving him a secret vote, as unquestionably it should in every com munity. Methods had been tried to neutralise the effect of this. In Massachusetts it was found the people printed voting papers, but a plan was adopted to prevent it by print ing a certain stamp on the back of the papers, so as to know them. They were printed by the state, and it was made obli gatory on every person to have one of those papers, and put it inside an envelope and seal it up, and every vote was illegal that was not so. He had heard the opinion of John Ran dolph against the ballot. He had a large number of slaves, and a great number of persons over whom he had influence; and it was very evident from his position in life that he would oppose the ballot, because he could not influence persons as he might have done had they given open votes. To those who wished to give them to understand that they actually did, and did not " keep the promise to the ear and break it to the hope," they would say, "You may vote as you please ;" but it was like a picture he once saw, which represented a queen and a prime minister, who wanted her to sign a document as the sovereign of the people. She did dot seem inclined to sign it, and the minister had gone as a matter of form. He was represented as saying, in his blandest tones, "There is no compulsion, only you must sign it." (Laughter.) Well, if there was no compul sion, then vote secretly; but if there was compulsion, thou let them vote according as they wished. The ballot had been described as A simple, silent shower, That demonstrates the freeman's power; Like the snow-flake on the sod, That executes the will of God. (Loud cheers.) Mr. E. C. WurrmußsT having addressed the meeting, Councillor A. BOOTH moved " That this meeting desires to express its opinion that the adoption of the ballot is in dispensable to an honest representation, and that no mea sure for the amendment of the representation of the people in the Commons House of Parliament will be satisfactory which does not contain a provision that the votes be taken by way of the ballot." The resolution was carried unanimously. The CHAIRMAN said the next resolution had reference to a gentleman on whom had been placed by the people the responsibility of drawing up a reform bill, who, by his uu tiring exertions on behalf of his country, had been obliged to retire for a season from the service of the people, he meant John Bright, Esq., M.P. for Birmingham. (Loud and continued cheering.) The resolution was, " That this meeting, v hilst it sincerely rejoices in the convalescence of John Bright, Esq., M.P., desires at the same time to con vey to him its hearty thanks for his untiring and unflinCh ing exertions to obtain for the working classes of this coun try a fair and full share of the elective franchise, and that franchise protected by the ballot." (Loud applause.) Mr. MILES, in seconding the resolUtion, said that in the United States, where he had spent most of his life, the opinions oftenest , quoted, respected most, looked up to most, were those of three or four individuals. The King or Queen of England never made speeches except very short ones occasionally from the throne, and they were read, but there were three or four persons in the British parliament whose opinions were. quoted and re spected in America. The first person he should name was the late Joseph Hume--(hear)—and the others were John Bright, Richard Cobden, and that unflinching patriot whom they all knew, John Arthur Roebuck. (Loud cheers.) This resolution was also carried unanimously. Mr. APTunic moved, " That the thanks of this meeting be given to Edward C. Whitehurst, Esq., and to P. Miles, Esq., of America, for their able speeches in favour of the ballot." (Applause.) Mr. HIEBERD briefly seconded the proposition ; and after a few questions had been asked, in answer to which it way shown that the ballot worked well in Australia and America, and that there was no possibility of fraud or deception being practised by the scrutineers, it was carried amid applause. LITERATURE. Poems and Ballads of Goethe. Translated by W. Edmonstoune Aytoun, D.C.L., and Theodore Martin. Blackwood and Sons. An exquisite companion volume to the Poems and Ballads of Schiller, already issued from the press by the same publishers. What Sir Bulwer Lytton accomplished so successfully in the one in stance, Messrs. Aytoun and Martin have achieved no less successfully in the other; so that henceforth the two greatest poets of Germany take their place side by side among the grand foreign classics per manently incorporated with our own literature. The majority of these translations from the Poems and Ballads of Goethe—as in the instance of the kindred translations from the Poems and Ballads of Schiller—originally appeared in instalments in the pages of lirackwood's Magazine. Several years have elapsed since that partial and periodical pub lication. And now at last those scattered frag ments have been grouped together, and—consider ably enhanced both in number and excellence— here make at length their very welcome collective appearance. As the joint editors and translators intimate in their Preface, they have by no means attempted to give in this volume a version of all or even of the majority of the minor poetical pieces of Goethe, fugitive and miscellaneous. In this they have acted without doubt most judiciously. Their selection from that wilderness of grace and beauty is surely all that the most unreasonable under the cir cumstances could well have hoped from their blended taste and assiduity. " Every voluminous author"— they write by way of explanation as to their motive in making this selection instead of giving the whole —" every voluminous author has been unequal in his efforts ;" adding, " Goethe, who was the most industrious and indefatigable literary man of his age [and they might have added, who lived himself to the age cf a patriarch] was no exception to this rule." They append to this obviously sufficient re mark a hackneyed simile only too suggestive of a derisive application altogether undesigned.. " His wheat,though of the finestquality,has not been so well winnowed that the chaff has entirely disappeared." The deteriorating particles making up the aggre gate bulk were surely worse than anything that might be thus indicated. With the wheat garnered up• from the fields of literature in the toils of that laborious and extended life, there were tares too abundantly intermingled. There, moreover, were the wild oats—sown in' affluent and heedless profu sion—now only worth the perishing. A more accurate, while at the same time a less hackneyed,* metaphor, expressive of the motley aspect of the treasure opened up to them for selection in that mine of jewels—the Complete Poems and Ballads of Goethe—would have been the one applied by Dr. Johnson (in his famous Pre face) to Shakspere, where, speaking of the scarcely calculable gems of thought and poetry there em bedded, he described them with eloquent allitera tion as " clouded with incrustations, debased with impurities, and mingled with a mass of meaner minerals." Here—in this delicious little volume of the choicest selections—William Aytoun and Theo dore Martin have given the rarest of the poetic gems of Goethe, in undimmed lustre, and as nearly as possible in the actual counterpart of the original exquisite setting. In regard to the blend ing of those ever-welcome names upon the present title-page, it is pleasant to read the acknowledg ment here subjoined—familiar though the fact re lated had long been rendered by the rumoured knitting together of the reputations of the Beau mont and Fletcher of burlesque—" The translators may, perhaps, be allowed to add that they have already had some experience of the advantages of literary cooperation ; for a volume of humorous poems and jeux-d'esprit, issued by them several years ago, under the title of Bon Gaultier's Bal. lads,' has been fortunate enough to obtain a wide circulation." The familiar voices had long been recognised, it is true—yet it is not the less agree able to have the double mask at length thrown aside as superfluous. Wherefore " All hail, Macbeth and Banquo! Banquo and Macbeth, all hail !" Opening the book with a three fold relish of anticipation, we find this Aytoun- Martin version of Goethe comprising within it upwards of one hundred (in all 108) of these minor poetical productions from the hand of the metrical giant of Rhineland. Fortv-one " Songs and Lyrics" —a quarter of a hundred" Miicellaneous" pieces— a score of "Ballads and Legends"—one-and -twenty " Poems in the manner of the Antique"—and the poet's own " Introduction." To all these there are only two explanatory notes appended—one to the eltrich ballad of the Erl King"—the other to that wonderful, impassioned, pagan masterpiece, " The Bride of Corinth." The translation of the last-mentioned poem, in itself one of the most signal though it must be confessed also one of the most horribly sensual of the triumphs of the genius of Gocthe, is also here one of the most remarkable achievements accomplished by the united skill of the translators. In the melody, no less than in the accuracy of the version, it is worthy of being thus designated in simple truth—an achievement. It is a triumph wou by Messrs. Aytoun and Martin together—as in a lesser degree is that gained by them conjointly in the translation of the mystical and (in itself for the most part) unsatisfactory " Introduction." Else where in the volume, with one or two rare exceptions, they . work each upon a separate canvass, each copying a separate picture, from the original before them by the Great Master, with the like glowing colours and with an admi rable faithfulness. Sometimes the skill of one is shown in the epigrammatic, as in " The Husband man :" " Lightly doth the furrow fold the golden grain within its breast, Deeper shroud, old man, shall cover in thy limbs when laid at rest. Blithely plough, and sow as blithely I Here are springs of mortal cheer, And whene'er the grave is dosing, Hope is ever stand ing near." Sometimes the dainty adroitness of the other is shown in the mirrored playfulness of a ditty like that charming one, " Who'll buy a Cupid :" " Now see this little creature— How modest seems his feature ! He nestles so demurely, You'd think him safer surely; And yet for all his shyness, There's danger in his slyness, The cunning rogue 1 Young loves to sell ! My pretty loves who'll buy I" Nothing could well be finer than the version of that marvellous, goblin, grimly "Dance of Death," from the weird opening to the ghostly climax : " It must have its shroud—it must have it betimeS— The quaint Gothic carving it catches • And upwards from s tory t o s t or y it climbs, And scrambles with leaps and with snatches. Now woe to the warder, poor sinner, betides I Like a spindle-legged spider the skeleton strides From buttress to buttress still upward 1" As a contrast to which—ah! charming the fresh ness of " Early Spring." It is Aytoun here who sings the song of Goethe : " Come ye so early, Days of Delight ? Making the hillside Blithesome and bright ? " Merrily, merrily, Little brooks rush, Down by the meadow Under the bush. * * * • * " Birds of gay feather Flit through the grove, Singing together Ditties of love. * * * * " Now comes there sounding A sough of the breeze, Shakes thro' the thicket, Sinks in the trees. " Sinks, but returning, It ruffles my hair ; Aid me this rapture, Muses, to bear ! " Know ye the passion That stirs in me hero? Yestre'en at gloaming Was I with ray dear !" Daintily, too, daintily—this time it is by Theodore Martin's voice—do we have trilled to us the 3 'iquant words of the graceful song of " The Coquei-,1 " O'er the meadows tripped sweet Kitty, On a dewy morn in spring, Like a lark, her blithesome ditty, • Gaily, lightly carolling, • So la la! Le calla, • " Lubin, as she passed beside him, Offered two. lambs for a kiss ; Roguishly awhile she eye'd him, Tripped away, then carolled this, • So la la! Le ralla. " Ribbons red young Collin proffers, Robin with his heart would wile, But she mocks at all their offers, Singing, as she mounts the stile, So la la! Le ralla." Sufficient. however, in the way of quotation—or we shall have enough to do, in truth, if we linger yet longer; bee-like, among these delicate leaves. Our choice might only be fully satisfied by enfring ing the law of copyright. Wherefore close we the little volume, and lay it aside with one cordial word of Thanks, at parting, to the genius shown in this rendering of the great German's poetry by the two faithful and fraternal translators. Re-issue of Scraps and Sketches. By George Cruikshank. Part I. Kent and Co., late Bogue. It is like putting on a wishing-cap,' or sitting down upon that little bit of carpet mentioned in the Tales —op en i ng onc e' more this Arabian Fairy wonderful omnium-gatherunz book of fu.n, by our greatest English caricaturist. As quickly as the Scotch trespasser, in one of the etchings in the pre sent number, we are " Bock agen"—in the days of our fathers,w hen ladies wore dresses apparently with out any underclothing, and had their waists imme diately under their arms, and donned bonnets of the memorable shape of the ancient coal-scuttles ! When gentlemen adorned themselves with great shelving hats, with curled up brims of very flagrant dimen sions, and struggled painfully into - coats with skin tight sleeves, the waist-buttons immediately between their shoulder-blades, the collar half-way up the back of their heads, the tails draggled down into close proximity with the tendon Achilles ! When, to adopt the words of an arch-wag who delighted us with a hearty laugh on this last .New Yea r's "Small boys had a dreadful high-shouldered, sleeved, strait waistcoat put upon them by their keepers, over which their dreadful little trousers were buttoned tight, so that they roamed about disco - Ilse:late, with their hands in their pockets, like dreadful little pairs of tongs that were vainly looking fa.: the rest of the fire-irons ! " Back into that extremely ridiculous age we are carried at one wink from the familiar eyelid of Cruikshank I?edivicus. As the title of this delightful serial informs us, the work here commenced, and which will be completed in ten instalments, consists of a—" Re-issue of Scraps and Sketches," by George Cruikshank. It is the republication, in other words, of a collection of renowned humorous illustrations—masterpieees of the ridiculous—chefs d'ceuvre of the grotesque, A R , bizarre, the utterly laughable, and irresistibly ludi crous eztravagances.We envy those who come fresh to the examination of all this rare pictorial comicality. One after one here the series pours forth from the publisher's shop in Fleet Street—the well-known prihtseller's, No. 86, hard by St. Bride's Church, over against the Punch office. Here they come stream ing out in procession upon the illustrated outer cover of the Re-issue— Illustrations of Time— Phrenological Illustrations—Scraps and S ketches —Sketch Book- , --while the public of to-day (such a different public altogether) loiters wondering upon the pavement at th e unexpected reappearance. There, for example, stands the gentleman with a beard, a wide-awake, a cutty-pipe, an all-round collar, Balmoral boots, and peg-top trousers. There the lady with an oyster shell bonnet, clad in crino line. r‘ Oh ! Ha! V Hum! Puff ! Puff! Puff !" says my gentleman smoking superciliously—and out they stream again into daylight, those dear old delightful provocatives of good humour. Part One gives us the immortal " Illustrations of Time " the analysis of the fun of which would be an imper tinence, particularly after the panegyric by Thackeray in the "Westminster." - Wherefore we content ourselves here with cordially welcoming back in this revised and collected form, the famous masterpieces of our inimitable Cruikshank. ROYAL DRAMATIC COLLEGE. After carefully re-perusing the correspondence between Mr. Dedd and the provisional committee of the Royal Dramatic College, we adhere to our already expressed opinion, that both parties are to blame. Mr. Dodd was too exacting, the committee too peremptory. Mr. Dodd would have clogged his grant with conditions, which he thought him self entitled to impose, but ivhich the • committee were disinclined to accept. His tone was offensive and uncourteous, their secretary's disagreeable and sarcastic. This gentleman, one would fancy, must have conceived a particular dislike to Mr. Dodd. At an early period of the negotiations Fe twitted him rather sharply ; and at the general meeting of subscribers, which yesterday afternoon was held at the Adelphi Theatre, he stated what was positively untrue, when he declared that Mr. Dodd had pro mised, in the first instance, an unconditional con vevalice of the land, and afterwards withdrawn his oder. Mr. Dodd may have put an unwarrantable construction upon the terms which he attached to his gift ; but that he did attach some • terms (and in so doing he was perfectly justified) is proved be yond question by the letters of Mr. Dodd himself, and of Mr. Macphail, the solicitor to Mr. Dold. No one at yesterday's meeting defended Mr. Dodd's cause ; whether. through his inability, or his ne glect, to find a champion, or because the sympathies of the subscribers were altogether anti-Doddite, we are unable certainly to say. Whatever the reason may have been the fact is undoubtly to be regretted, not so much on Mr. Dodd's account, who is old enough to take care of hiinself, as because the fair fame of the chiefs of the histrionic profession, and of the noble lords, their patrons and supporters, suffers even from the suspicion of discourtesy. For our own part we should have abstained from entering into the discussion, and have left Mr. Dodd to his own resources, had he not been vigor ously assailed by a portion of the public press upon . a one-sided and incomplete report. If the friendly style of Mr. Webster had been imi tated by the secretary to the committee, or if Mr. Webster himself had persevered in the policy of conciliation which he originally advo cated, we still think that all acrimonious feeling would have subsided ; that the dispute might have been satisfactorily arranged, and. that we should have been spared the unpleasant disclosures conse quent upon the publication of the correspondence. Whatever verdict public opinion may pronounce upon this unfortunate controversy, it is sufficiently clear that the intended benevolence of the Hoxton philanthropist has been of signal service to the in terests of the Dramatic College. In addition to the offer of Mr. Moore, already announced, the London Necropolis Company have communicated to the committee their desire to place at the disposal of the college five acres of ground near Woking. The intention is generous enough, but there is some thing sinister in the suggested proximity of the necropolis and the asylum, of death and decay We suspect that aged and worn-out fitters would prefer a retreat at Gerrard's- cross, in a spot hal lowed by venerable associations, where the poet Gray was born and his memory is still cherished. The termination of Mr. Cullenford's report would, but for the unseemly allusion to Mr. Dodd, have afforded us peculiar pleasure. We arc thereby informed that, besides the promises of generous benefactors to build several of the almshouses, a sum of nearly £3,000 has been subscribed, and donations to the amount of £250 per annum volun teered in aid of the college funds. Surely such unstinted liberality should have con vinced Mr. Creswick that in favour of the Drama , no " standing protest" was needed " against igno rance, prejudice, and bigotry." Some persons there may be who entertain a conscientious objection to visiting theatres. But we can enjoy a play—we can weep with Lear, laugh at Dogberry, and grow melancholy with Jaques, w i t h ou t imputing either prejudice or bigotry to those who from honourable scruples deny themselves this recreation. The time has gone for stage-players to exclaim against the gibes and scorn of society. The stage is not only a recognised but an honoured pr o f ess i on. Actors and actresses are exposed perhaps, unhappily fall or which ; and some e hich they are surrounded.

'The national taste has been puri fied and refined ; and, as a natural consequence, those who cater for the amusement of the public have ceased to pander to the wants of the gross.and vicious few, since the virtuous many have rewarded their honest efforts.
