The changes exhibited in the Bank of England return, completed to the 26th inst., are not of an im portant, although in some instances they are of rather an unfavourable, character. The bullion shows a diminution, while there is also a slight de crease in the reserve of notes. In the other E.ecuri ties no material alteration has taken place, but the private balances have fallen off to the extent of nearly a quarter of a million. The public deposits, as usual at this period of the year, have been slightly augmented.

The Foreign Exchanges yesterday afternoon were generally rather lower. A call of £5 per share, amounting to £500,000, is due to day on the East Indian Jubbulpore Rail- 1 , way shares, and of £5, or £250,000, on the F Extension, but owing to the large amount paid in st, advance it is believed these calls will not exceed st ; £120,000. et: In the Liverpool Cotton Market yesterday a fair demand prevailed for most description s at full rt: rates. The sales amounted to 12,000 bales. st 4 Since Monday last the imports of specie have st, t, been £1,616,900, and the exports £229,236. 19.

Comparatively few persons are aware that there st , exists in the City of London a Museum, which, etc 2s: although restrictive in its objects, is not w ithout interest, as affording information on one of our most ‘,4• important national products—COAL. A few years since some members of the Corpora- s tion, and several influential gentlemen connected with this particular branch of commerce, proposed s carrying this very useful design into effect, and a s room was set apart in the Coal Exchange as a s Museum for the reception and exhibition of speci- st mens and models illustrative of the coal trade and : I I coal districts of Great Britain. The principal 8 ; object of the collection is to afford to those en- si gaged in the trade, as well as the public, an oppor tunity of seeing and examining the various kinds el of coal, and the several other substances used 8 as fuel in all parts of the world ; also to offer facilities for inspecting models of machinery, and other - valuable, useful, and interesting inventions applicable to coal mining, and diagrams and maps of the geology of the various coal fields. The utility of such exhibitions, in an industrial and commercial point of view, is now generally acknowledged, and it has been the object to render the collection of real practical value, as a means of s reference and information to all persons who are in ,31 any way interested in either the production, the B B : consumption, or the natural history of fossil fuel. s The Museum already possesses an interesting col lection of fossil plants, and specimens of different varieties of coal, and some models of machinery, which have been presented by gentlemen interested in the success of the undertaking, and which it is hoped will be still further increased. The objects chiefly desired for exhibition in this Museum are the following :—Specimens of coal fields o f all derived from the coal parts of the W orld ; specimens of substa nces emp l oye d as sub stitutes for coal, or mineralogically allied to it ; the fossils of the coal strata ; models of mines, of min ing machinery , and of collier shi p s ; specimens of implements used in coal mining ; diagrams and plans of coal mines; maps of coal fields; specimens of substances manufactured from * Coal, or similar material, and of the implements used in such manu facture. During the past two years lectures have been delivered once a mon th by Professor J. M orr i s , F.G.S., on various subjects connected with the natural history of coal and coal mining, and which lectures will be occasionally continued. Under the present arrangement the guseu . m is open to the each mon th .--. public on the first Monday 11 1 Mining Journal. SWEARING-IN OF THE NEW SHERIFFS. --A Court of Aldermen was hell yesterday, for the purpos c_t swear ing-in the Sheriffs of London and the county o;Middlesex for the ensuing year, viz , Mr. Alderman Abbiss and Andrew Lusk, Esq. The under-sheriffs, d theuring their year wo of office, will be Mr. Eagleton and Mr:Gammon, gentlemen who filled the same office last year. On Thursday Miss Caroline Paget, fourth daugh ter of Mr. C. Paget, one of the representatives of Notting ham, was married to Mr. W. Mellor, son of the other mem o r for that borough. The wedding took place at Bu ddingt, Notts, where the residence of the bride's father is situated; and the health of the happy couple was proposed at the breakfast by Mr. Baron Channell. WORKHOUSE MEAT.—Mr. Robert Jackson, a butcher, has been convicted in the sum of £5 for supplying putrid meat to the Nottingham workhouse for the use of the inmates. Another butcher was summoned for a similar offence, but the charge against him was not pressed. Mr. Lambert, the poor-law inspector, has held a lengthened examination into the conduct of Mr. Harrison, the master of the house, in receiving the bad meat; but the decision of the commissioners upon the report of their officer has riot yet been COMMIIIIkatetI to the beard of guardians. 8 81 78 80 111 121 6,5 7 00 int 91} 911 6 64 74 8 16 17 53i 541 40 42 28 30 80 82 291 30,1 107 109 1151 1161 120 122 130 132 110 112 74 743 60 65 1144 115 65 67 110 111 55 57 100 . 1 1011 91i 92a 101 11 471 481 3 2d 1284 129 102 104 all 100 3i 100 100 100 100 100 16 13 4 100 100 100 174 all 7 55 57 1 31d 63 631 10U 102 I 1,1 57 58i 87 , 58% /02 104 31 34 f 4 10 6 : (4 114 116 331 34} 88 90 49 51 6 7 42 44 84 641 78 80 . b 8 384 394 Si 94 55 2 3 1 56i p 1 BP' 56 58 llf 11; Of 7 44 46 10 11 2,1 2.1 PREFERENCE SHARES. all 1 100 95 07 100 100 100 100 100 Closing Business Paid.

The proceedings were of a much more peaceable description than has been the case on former occasions, from the circumstance that the election of Alderman Cubitt, to the high civic office, was nut to be opposed. Shortly before 12, the Lord Mayor, Sheriffs, and other officials, left the Mansion. House and proceeded to the Guildhall, where they were received by the Aldermen and officers in the Alderman's room, and a nosegay having been presented to each, according to ancient custom, by the usher of the court, a procession was formed from Guildhall to St. Lawrence's Church,. conducted by the Junior Mar shal in the following order : Sheriff's Chaplain. Under Sheriffs. High Bailiff of Southwark. City Solicitor. Remembrancer. Controller. Secondary. Common Pleaders. Judge of the Sheriff's Court. Common Sergeant. Town Clerk. Chamberlain. Sheriffs. Aldermen below the Chair.. Recorder. Aldermen past the Chair. Senior Marshal. Lord Mayor's Chaplain. Common Crier. Sword Bearer. Lord Mayor. At tie conclusion of the service the procession left the church and returned to Guildhall, where hustings had been previously erected at the east end, on which the Lord Mayor took his station. The COMNION CRIER then desired silence, and formally declared the Common Hall open for the election of a Lord Mayor. After the usual formalities, a show of hands was called for, and Alderman Cul9itt was declared to have a majority. The names of Alderman Cubitt and the next in succession t) him having been submitted to the Court of Aldermen by the Lord Mayor, the selection was confirmed, and the Re corder declared to the Hall that Alderman Cubitt was duly elected Lord Mayor for the existing year. The COMMON CRIER, in the usual form, called for Alderman Cubitt to come forward and give his consent to fill the office. The LORD MAYOR elect advanced to the front of the hustings, and having been invested with the symbols of civic dignity, stated his willingness to serve the office, and his determination, by the help of the corporation and the support of the livery, to support the honour and dignity of the office, and maintain the rights and privileges of the city. A vote of thanks to the Lord Mayor and Sheriffs closed the proceedings. The Lord Mayor elect then accompanied the Lord Mayor to the Mansion House, attended by the aldermen, sheriffs, and officers, whom the Lord Mayor will entertain this evening at dinner. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY) SIIERIFFS' COURT. (Before Mr. Kerr.) WRIT IS A PROFESSIONAL MAN p - REINLOW V. BItOERS. Plaintiff is a translater of languages, and defendant is clerk to a merchant carrying on business in Bush-lane. Mr. Frederick Kent, IS, Queen-street, Cheapside, said that plaintiff sought to recover for translating 200 pages from German into English. The work would be produced, and although defendant had received £lO for it, he had only paid into court £2 2s. He had employed. plaintiff because he (defendant) was too busy so do - it himself. Plaintiff was called, and said he translated the manu script produced, in all2oo pages. His Honour—Did you do all this ? Plaintiff—Yes. Defendant said he would give me £2 2s. He promised me a situation, and, had he obtained one, I should not have charged him anything. Cross-'examined by Mr. Johnson—l told defendant that if he got me a situation I should do the work for nothing ; but I certainly never agreed for £2 2s. Mr. Johnson then called defendant, who said that plain tiff was a young German, who had come to this country to obtain a situation. He was recommended to defendant by a very respectable person, and defendant almost promised him a situation in the office of a merchant of high standing in the City. It being necessary to have a specimen of plaintiff's handwriting and ability, defendant asked him to translate a manuscript, and promised him 12 2s. for it. Plaintiff remarked that defendant had taken a good deal of trouble, and said that ho would gladly translate the work to show his gratitude. Cross-examined—Knew Messrs. Seymour, Peacock, and Co.—at least knew one of the firm, and that was the reason he promised plaintiff a situation. Did not give plaintiff the work because defendant was too busy to`do it himself. Had received £4O. Part of that sum was for that work. Mr. Kent—And pay into court a patry £2 2s. His Honour—Was any person present at the bargain ? Defendant—No. Ills Honour—l don't think £5 an unreasonable offer to one person to get another a situation. Look ing at the work done I think £5 a most reasonable charge. Verdict for plaintiff. Mr. Hart applied for costs of witnesses and of plaintiff as a professional man. His Honour—Nonsense. I only recognise three pro fessions—law, one ; medicine, two ; and divinity, three. We shall havo butchers being professors of cutting up meat soon. Printers call their's a profession, but I don't recognise it. POLICE INTELLIGENCE-(THIS DAL; MARLBOROUGH-STREET. STEALING A RIFLE. —Thomas Johnson, a young man, was charged before Mr. Beadon with stealing a rifle of the value of 20 guineas, the property of Mr, James Davies, tailor, of 340, Oxford-srreet. Charles Batchelor, errand boy to Mr. Davies, said that about 7 that morning he was taking down the shop shutters, when the prisoner came up to him, having seen him hang ing about the shop window for some time before, and asked him the way to Berwick-street. He directed him the way to go, and the prisoner then asked him some other ques tions, occupying his time for about five minutes. He (witness) then walked round to the other window, it being a corner house, and while taking down the shutters he saw the prisoner come out of the shop door with the rifle in his hand, and cross Oxford-street. He immediately went after him, and seizing him, took the rifle from him. The pri soner then started off, and after chasing him down Oxford street and Portland-street into Castle-street, crying "Stop thief," ho was caught by a constable. The rifle was left with his master by a gentleman, and was of the value of 20 guineas. Gordon, 236 A, said he suspected the prisoner was only recently returned from penal servitude. He knew him to be an associate of thieves, and he believed, if he was re manded, he should be able to prove that he had been con victed. Paul Phillips, 23 E, the officer who took the prisoner into custody, said that at the station tho prisoner said a gentleman gave it to him to carry. Ho wished for a re mand. Mr. Beadon said he would remand the prisoner till Wed. nesday next. THAMES. DARING ROBBERY IN A PUBLIC-110178E.—Alfred Thompson, a well known thief, was charged with the fol lowing daring robbery at the Three Compasses public house, in Glasshouse-street, Rosemary-lane. _ _ It appeared that Mr. Michael Thompson, the landlord of the Three Compasses public-house, was in his cellar, when he heard the ringing of a bell attached to his bar door, and supposing a customer was waiting, he hastexed upstairs, and directly saw that the till had been removed from its place, and 6s. or 7s. from it. At the same time he saw the prisoner leaving the house, and raised the cry of " stop thief." A police-constable, named Turner, of the H divi sion, went in pursuit of the prisoner, and after a long run secured him. On searching the prisoner ss. 11d, in silver and copper monies were found upon him. Roche, the gaoler of the court, said the prisoner had passed through his hands, and was a very dangerous cha • ratter. There was no one in the court to prove a former conviction. The prisoner on being called upon for his defence said Settle it here, my lord ; and onbeing asked if he was guil or not guilty, he replied guilty, and was immediately sen tenced to 6 months' imprisonment and hard labour. A DESTRUCTIVE.—EIIen Craven, a very turbulent and disorderly prostitute, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with breaking a large pane of valuable plate glass in the window of the White Fox, formerly the Angel public-house,in the Back-road, Shadwell. The prisoner went into the publichouse kept by Mr Homan, the landlord, yesterday evening, and demanded liquor. She was • intoxicated, and the barman refused to serve her with any thing. She then made a disturbance, and struck several persons. The landlord and his barman immediately ejected the prisoner, who took up a large stone and smashed a pane of plate glass. Mr. Yardley—What is the value of the glass ? The barman replied, £5. Mr. Yardley—This is the woman who has been so very troublesome ? Roche—lt is, sir. Mr. Yardley—The prisoner is sentenced to pay a fine of £5, and in default to be imprisoned and kept to hard labour for two calendar months.

Being Twenty-five Years' Literary and P rsonal Recollections. By a Con temporary. 2 vols. Hurst and Blackett. The authoress of these volumes having been thrown into communication with celebrities of all ranks and professions during the last quarter of a century, has naturally thought that her reminis cences of their ways and manners would prove in teresting to readers of the present day. Her circle of acquaintance has been a very comprehensive one, for she includes in her list statesmen and soldiers, preachers and players, dramatists and judges, mem bers of the legal and medical - profession, and some remarkable only fcr their stations or their eccen tricities. Prominent among the subjects of her sketches are Lord Melbourne, the Duke of Wel lington, Edward Irving, Thomas Moore, Edmund Kean, Mr. Spurgeon, Tyrone Power, and Mrs. Shelley. With all these personages, and indeed with most of the individuals mentioned in her volumes, she has been in intimate personal com munication. Of the great Duke she gives a very interesting description, in the account of two visits which she paid him. On the first occasion she ac companied a lady friend who went to ask a favour, which was curtly and decidedly refused ; the abruptness of the reception only being tempered by particular kindness to herself—a kindness still further manifested on the subsequent occasion, when a lengthened interview took place. The Duke's sayings and doings, as described by our authoress on this occasion, offer a singular contrast to the general coldness of his manner to strangers, a fact which is possibly explained by her' likeness to an early friend of his. Her acquaintance with Lord Melbourne originated, like many other of her distinguished friendships, in her literary pursuits. The authoress, although she withholds her name, admits that she belongs to the literary craft, and her writings appear to have been the means of intro ducing her to many authors and authoresses of distinction. Lord Melbourne, it appears, had contributed some sonnets to one of the annuals which were at that time in fashion, and the authoress having written a tale for the same periodical, an acquaintance was commenced. She speaks of him highly, and thus describes his manner in private society : LORD MELBOURNE. He had none of the " craft and subtlety" of diplomacy about him—none of its Jesuitical, self-imposed, and con trolling apathy, which ordinarily gives and creates such a great similarity between a thorough-bred diplomat and a Catholic priest in his noviciate. Lord Melbourne had none of this unnatural and sustained gravity. He could laugh —ay, and very frequently and heartily did so ; and enjoyed, as much as any one I ever knew, such ebullitions of mirth fulness ; neither had he an atom of the scrupulous over weening caution so many official men have. He would converse of public men and public measures just as freely and naturally as if he were not a leader of the one and a framer of the other. Of his political contemporaries, also, he talked unhesitatingly and openly; of some with such concentrated and intense dislike and bitterness, that I think he would quite have realized Dr. Johnson's " good hater." He was a very shrewd and observant man, and had singular talent for divination of character. He might literally be said to read a person at a glance. He could detect in a moment any attempt at dissimul a ti on or ar tifi ce. Ho said that her Majesty possessed this po wer i n a most remarkale degree ; and that with her steady, yet eagle, gaze fixed upon them, none ever dared to or could utter other than the per fect truth. He told me some instances in corroboration of this peculiar faculty of hers, but which I do not consider myself justified in repeating. He expressed an =mitigated abhorrence for anything that partook of or approximated to deceit; and I believe he righteously observed in every particular that rigid truthful ness he desired and expected in others. He had the most retentive of memories—in some respects positively wonder ful. Persons and events, of the most inconsequent and trivial character, whom perchance he had had named to him but once, and that years long past, he would remember and in quire after, when the very existence of them by yourself was utterly forgotten. He has often astonished me by sud denly asking, What became of Mr. So. and-so ?" or " What was the end of that business you told me of ?" She is throughout a very lenient critic. She has taken for her motto Othello's famous saying, "Nothing extenuate, nor set down aught in malice ; ' and though frequently repeating that she has pre served a rigid adherence to truth, she has gene rally leaned to the side of mercy in her verdicts. In one point her work is deserving of the highest commendation. She has scrupulous avoided re cording anything which might trench on the con fidence of private life, although the insertion of letters, domestic anecdotes, &c., might have greatly enhanced the attractions of her sketches. This reticence is so rare at the present day that it is especially meritorious. Her descriptions of the personal appearance of the notabilities she refers to are minute, and .give the reader a fair idea of the individuals described. She is evidently, as she confesses, a great admirer of personal beauty ; but, to tell the truth, she is far more liberal in her praise of the gentlemen than of the ladies. She appears, however, to be totally free from the jealousy which is supposed to belong to the literary craft. Almost all the lady celebrities she refers to belong to her own profession. We have pen and ink portraits of Lady Blessington, Mrs. Norton, L.E.L., and Mrs. Shelley. Of the latter lady she gives us the fol lowing interesting description : MRSL SHELLEY. Mrs. Shelley at that period, though a few years had passed since her bereavement, was still mourning over the untimely death of a husband so loved, and by whom she was equally beloved ; though then young, she had none of the buoyancy or elasticity of youth about her. The trap pings of grief and " livery of woe" had been cast aside ; still there was a settled sadness, a grave, gentle melancholy, in her face, and voice, and gait, which at once aroused your sympathy and elicited your interest in her. She was then, too, struggling against adverse fortune; and was working bravely, though toilsomely, to wilt honest bread for herself and boy (the present Sir Percy Shelley, Bart.) Not long previous to this, she had, I was told, been com pelled to undergo the fatigue of giving lessons as a daily governess. But she was then supporting herself by her pen, with a slender allowance from her husband's family. I have never seen a portrait that at all did her justice. If not a beauty, she was a most interesting, lovable-looking woman ; with a skin exquisitely fair, and expressive gray eyes; features delicate, yet of that style and proportion which have won the term of " aristocratic ;" hair of a light but bright brown, most silky in texture and luxuriant in profusion, which hung in long drooping ringlets over her colourless cheek, and gathered in a cluster behind, fell wavingly over her shoulders; a large, open forehead; white and well-moulded arms and hands. She was a de gree under the middle height, and rather inclined to embon point. I need scarcely say, to the memory of her husband she was devotedly attached, and never weary of talking of, or myself of listening to, praise of his supreme genius. He must have been one of the most amiable of men. She re- presented him as all but perfection ; but even those mos opposed to his writings have never denied his many claims to admiration as a man. A picture that she had of him, which she said was a faithful likeness, gave you alike the idea of his genius and the characteristics of his nature. The most tender sensitiveness, the most delicate susceptibility, were stamped on every lino and feature of the face. It was extraordinarily juvenile-looking. " He always was taken for much younger," she said " than he was.' Of Lord Byron I solemnly aver she ever spoke most favourably. Never did her lips utter the wretched slander, the vile detraction with which so many of his pretended friends, to their own eternal disgrace, have sought to stain and darken his immortal name and fame. She gave abun dant instances of his tender compassionateness for all that was helpless. To the little child, the defenceless dumb animal, the stricken with poverty, he was (she asserted) ever gentle, merciful, generous. Despite all that envy, malignity, and diving . have done to wrong and injure your reputation, Time, the rightecais judge, the unbiassed, un fettered arbiter of human actions, will yet do you justice I poor, ill-understood, persecuted Byron ! The style of the work is occasionally too verb se, and the use of superlatives somewhat too frequen but the anecdotes, descriptions, and incidentsteora. intro duced are so numerous that the reader canno plain of want of entertainment.

Macready knew not of this. She made no appeal, nor acquainted him with the struggles she had to combat with, or the fearful calamity with which she had been stricken. When at the pinnacle of fame he made a profes sional tour in Ireland, and was announced as about to visit the place where this poor lady was then dragging on a weary and uncheered existence. He arrived at --. His name, in large capitals, was placarded over the walls of the town, specifying the characters—some of his most cele brated ones—which he was going 'to perform there. She was incapacitated from reading the intimation that he was a visitant to the place where she now—poor, and blind, and lonely —was living, but the information was conveyed to her. The friend who told her begged that she would make her present position known to Macready ; but, with that timidity engendered by poverty, consequent on the chilling treatment the world too often accords to it, she hesitated.' "He is such a great man now—he will forget all about me," she said. " I think differently," replied her visitor. " Let me write to him about you I" Her consent was gained, and ere the day closed the best answer was given to her appeal; for Macready was at the humble lodging, and by the poor blind sufferer's side, tending her with affectionate care, lis tening to all her sorrows, devising for them such allevia tion as silver and gold could supp l y , and p rovidin g for her present wants with the lavish hand of liberality and affec tion. Every delicacy likely to tempt her apAitite was sent in—a hamper of good old wine accompanying them ; and .not content with mere temp orar y bount y , he insured to her. an annuity for life sufficient to meet her every requireeeme.nt2 and when making known V) her this his intent, pli' .s a_ln . her hands a cheque for the first quarter.

A number of celebrated preachers are described, though the authoress confesses that in private life she has riot found their kindness equal to that of her legal and medical advisers. To the members of the latter profession especially she pays a high tribute, and gives us likenesses of Robert Liston, William Lawrence, and others, eminent for their medical or surgical skill. Among her legal portraits we find Mr. Justice Crowder occupying a prominent place. Mr. Spurgeon is the subject of a lengthened memoir, and she speaks of him in terms which must satisfy his warmest admirers. Of that familiarity of style whi c h h e affects, and which some persons think so unsu i ta bl e in the pulpit, she gives the fol lowing instance : I remember an instance S o P f U t ß hi p s E o O ce N in.a . rr g the first time I ever heard him preach, uhen I shared, with many other., r to laugh, which only the solemn and controlling influence of tune into a curt and supp ressed and pl ace o p era t e d t o su bd ue at Notting-hill, as usual wheemnileve. The chapel, which was was crammed to suffocati on , as many Mr. Spurg eon p reac h es , building as gained admittan ce intori3tr-remaining outside the and, what I believe is of frequent occurrence when he preaches, a mongst the crowd took place. When Mr. many robberies Spurgeon as cended the pulpit, the first sentence ho uttered was : " I here that some one here has lost a Watch, and another per son a pocke t-book. All I can say in the matter is, I think them it serves them right — why did the y not leave a t home? But I have a word Gr two more to s a y on theu s b ject, which is this—that if m y friends, the p ic kpockets, are still in the chapel,lhave torequest that they will not attempt to pick any more pockets till have made my collection, as I want all the money I can get." - The natural response to this address was indicated by the low titter heard from the pews. But all his singula rities are trifles in contrast with the great and grand aim Mr. Spurgeon has devoted himself to, and the good he has wrought. The Rev. Mr. Bellew and the late lamented Mr. Robertson, of Brighton, are also among the cleri cal list. Of Mr. Edmund Kean she gives a long and interesting description, having met him in familiar intercourse at the house of a friend, and once by his especial favour having been permitted to witness a rehearsal, and to peep into his dressing-room at Drury-lane Theatre. Wo cite the subjoined passages from a lengthene3 criticism on his acting : EDMUND BEAN. If, as was asserted at the Erne, his acting differed from that of all his predecessors, so may it assuredly be said, that none of his successors in the remotest degree resemble him. Now and then his son, Charles Kean, in some isolated look, or tone, or gesture, recalls for a moment his gifted father to remembrance—but the illusion is but transient. Of Ed. mund Kean, in his entirety, it might truly be affirmed that-- "None but himself could be his parallel." He was alone—equally alone in force, energy, and power, originality and conception. Every impersonation was instinct with truth, and bore evidence of the highest genius. What perhaps was his most remarkable distinctiveness was his perfect transfusion, as it were, of himself into, and life-like embodiment o f, the character he represented. For the time being he was wholly and absolutely the person he enacted. It was this complete identification of his own nature with, and his absorption into himself of, the woes and wrongs, the feelings and actions of the part he was playing, which was the secret of the riveted attention and quite unparalleled sway he exer cised over the emotions, hearts, and sympathies of his audience. In " Oth e ll o ," kr instance—amongst many of his most marvellous delineations —where each throb of passion, each pang of torture, was indicated with unerring and sur passing fidelity and minuteness, you had the same tears, compassionateness, and pity—the same intense and burning indignation for what you witnessed—your susceptibilities as strongly and vividly responded to the appeal made to them—as if, instead of simulated suffering, you were spec tators of, and participators in, some mournful tragedy in domestic life. His height and figure were not unfavourable to the as sumption perhaps of stateliness—yet I never can admit that there were not passages in his acting of native and superlative dignity. His rebuke to Cassio in " Othello" was pre-eminently so. He crossed the stage with calm, majestic tread to where the culprit stood convicted of inebriety, and in a voice of stern, inexorable authority, which had an awful grandeur in it, repeated— " Cassio, I love thee, But never more be officer of mine." None surely that ever heard him say those words could accuse him of want of dignity. His parses were long, and perhaps too frequent. One of his peculiarities was—that however intimately and familiarly acquainted with his act ing you were, you never could tell before hand how he would treat and interpret any new part. In most actors there is such a conventional style, such a general and sus tained mannerism, that when announced for any novel cha racter, you can form a pretty shrewd and accurate idea Of how it will be rendered by them. This was never the ease with him. In conception he was so perfectly and appa rently impulsive, that every fresh embodiment exhibited some startling unconceived surprise never realized before. He might literally be said to " paint the violet and gild re fined gold." The most devoted Shakespearian, who had pored and pondered over the words of his idol for years, re ceived the impress of a new light thrown on their meaning by Kean's reading of the parts assigned to him. The oft-repeated quotation, " One touch of nature makes the whole world akin," might not inappropriately be ap plied tl his acting. The startling originality, the intense energy, the subtle power, the novel conceptions, were ad juncts and accessories undoubtedly to the colossal fame which, as an actor, he enjoyed ; but the great secret of his success was that he was simply, wholly, truthfully, and really natural. He exhibited humanity as it is—in all its aspects, varieties, and conflicts of passion. Hence his supreme ascendency over the feelings of his audience—the hearts of thousands beating as one man beneath his faithful and marvellous portraitures of emotions, affections, and infirmities of a na ture common to all. We commend these agreeable volumes to the general reader, assuring him that, whatever their shortcomings or defects, he will find ample enter tainment for a leisure hour in contemplating these varied and life-like photogfaphs. Captain Brand of the Centipede. By Lieutenant H. A. Wise, U.S.N. Trubner and Co. Although this work purports to be the history of a pirate of eminence in the West Indies, and a record of his loves and exploits, and the singular manner by which he departed this life, he takes by no means a leading part in the story. He may be the hero, but the reader is introduced to none of his lady loves or victims until long after their decease. This is, however, just as well, for certainly the author has a talent for describing the e and revolting. Captain Brand is a cloy?' s nn n and who, drel, of good address, undaunted daorrtogr, fiendish cruelty.

Such is the outline of the story ; but a vast number of in dividuals are introduced, and there is little or no plot. The b est part of the work is that which re lates to the sea and the American navy, although Lieutenant Wise makes the mistake common to most nautical writers, of setting sail, reefing, going about, and bringing up, &c., &c., at least twenty times too often ; and although the gallant lieute nant may be justly proud of the navy of his coun try, he has no need to expatiate quite so often upon it, as the reader will find to his cost. Taken as a whole, " Captain Brand of the Centipede" is amusing, but it contains too much of the revolting and too little romance for the present age. DEATII OF LORD FFRENCII—The Galway papers announce the death of Charles Lord Ffrench, who expired on the 25th inst., at Tarver-hall, in the county of Mayo.
