I C. LAMB'S LETTERS. 2 Vols. Mozon, London, 1837. These observations, though meant of course, in jest, have truth for their ground-work. Another specimen of Lamb's whimsical love of exaggeration occurs in one of his Letters addressed to Baron Field, who had re cently accepted a judicial situation in New South Wale's " Do give me some notion of the manners of the inhabit ants where you are. They don't thieve all day long, do they ? No human property could stand such continuous battery. And what do they do, when they ar'nt stealing ? Have you got a theatre ? What pieces are performed ? Shakspeare's I sup pose; not so much for the poetry, as for his having once been in danger of leaving his country on account of certain small deer. Have you poets among you ? Cursed plagiarists, I fancy, if you have any. I would not trust an idea, or a pocket-hand kerchief of mine among them." Writing to Miss Wordsworth to inform her of the removal of his sister and himself from the Middle Temple to lodgings in Russell-street, Covent-garden, Lamb says with mingled humour and feeling : c , I thought we never could have been torn up from the Temple. Indeed it was an ugly wrench, but like a tooth, now 'tis out, and I'm easy. We never can strike root so deep in any other ground. This where we are, is one of the individual spots I like best, in all this great city. The theatres with all their noises. Covent Garden, dearer to me than any gardens of Alcinous, where we are morally sure of the earliest peas and 'sparagus. Bow-street, where the thieves are examined, is within a few yards of us. Mary had not been here four and twenty hours before she saw a thief. She sits at the window working; and casually throwing out her eyes, she sees a con course of people coming this way, with a constable to conduct the solemnity. These incidents agreeably diversify a female life." In a still broader and more characteristic vein of humour, Lamb thus writes to Mr. Patmore, on the subject of' the latter's Dash—a fine dog, but sadly given to misbehave himself : " Excuse my anxiety, but how is Dash ? Goes he muzzled, or aperto ore? Are his intellects sound, or does he wander a little in his conversation ? You cannot be too careful to watch the first symptoms of incoherence. The first illogical snarl he makes, to St. Luke's with him. All the dogs here are going mad, if you believe the overseers ; but I protest they seem to me very rational and collected. But nothing is so deceitful as mad people, to those who are not used to them. Try him with hot water. If he won't lick it up, it is a sign he don't like it. Does his tail wag horizontally, or perpendicularly ? That has decided the fate of many dogs in Enfield. Is his general de portment cheerful? I mean when he is pleased, for other wise there is no judging. You can't be too careful. Has he bit any of the children yet? If he has, have them shot, and keep hirn for curiosity to see if it was the hydrophobia. Do you get paunch for him ? Take care the sheep was vane. What I have scratched out here is a German quotation from Lessing on the bite of rabid animals. The meaning in English is—" avoid to approach an animal suspected of madness, as you would avoid fire or a precipice," which I think is a sensible observa tion. The Germans are certainly profounder than we." There has been an infinite deal of twaddle written lately about Lamb. Many of his admirers seem to thitLl: that he could never crack a joke, or stammer out a pun, without enunciating a philosophical sentiment worthy of Bacon. According to these bland pedants, his very laugh had a pathos in it calculated to make one weep ; and when he shook his head, there ~ vas as Profound a meaning in that shake, as in Lord Bur leigh's celebrated one immortalized by Sheridan in the Critic.. One of his admirers, in reviewing the pre sent volumes the other day in a weekly literary news paper, actually goes the length of discovering that lie could not eve, drink a pint of porter on a hot clay, after a long, dusty walk, without evincing by the depth of his draught, his love of the good old times. Hs potation, hints this profound sage, was sig nificant of his mental tastes. He cared nothing about quenching his thirst : not he ; by availing him self of such a " coarse and vulgar" luxury, as porter, he merely meant to show how deeply his fine intellect was imbued with the spirit of the pasta surmise w hi c h, ridiculous enough in itself, is rendered still more so, when it is remembered that porter is, compara tively speaking, of yesterday's date ; and that spark ling October Ale was the favourite beverage of our ancestors ! AV this is sad trash, and none would laugh at it more heartily than Lamb himself, were he alive. If he ridiculed Coleridge for calling him gentle-hearted," how much more would he have ridi culed those blind admirers who find excellencies in his wry defects, and diligently scribble an immensity of nonsense, for the praise-worthy purpose of showing that they know less of the man, than may he known by any one who reads his Elia and his Letters with at tention.. The truth is, Lamb was a shy, nervous person ; of desultory habits of reading ; of acute, but limited, powers of mind ; and of odd, old fashioned. habits, such as we often meet with in con- " C. Lamb's Letters," like his " Essays of Elia," and indeed like every thing he ever wrote, are distin guished by the truly original character of their style and humour. Those who expect to find in them any allusion to the passing topics of the day, will be dis appointed ; for the author seldom troubled himself with the common-places of every-day life ;he chro nicled no birth, death, or marriage ; indulged in no political gossip, like Horace Walpole in no satirical allusions to his literary contemporaries, like Byron ; but confined himself chiefly to pourtraying his own thoughts and feelings, and crackino his own quaint jokes, in a half mirthful, half serious mood, on mat ters for which the majority of readers care not two straws. Though engaged, for the best portion of his life, in pursuits of active business at the East India House, hs was essentially a man of shy, recluse habits, living far less in the world, or for the world than Byron, who, nevertheless, was always making a boast of his having no feelings nor interests in common with it. In fact, he possessed in reality, what his Lordship possessed but in imagination— namely, a philosophic indifference to reputation. He inacibwad captandum hits in his writings ; appealed to no popular tastes or prejudices ; but, on the con trary, seemed to take a pride in running counter to them. This was not affectation, but the peculiar idiosyncrasy of the man. His mind was almost h w o y of a retrospective nature, ever dwelling on the past, and indifferent to the present. He cared little for the writings of his fashionable contemporaries, prizing those only who were the idols of the select few. But, perhap, the chief objects of his idolatry—for idolatry it was in Lamb— 'were the authors of the 16th and 17th centuries, in whose works he discerned every attainable excellence, and with whose quaintnesses of thought, humour, and even style, he had so completely saturated his mind, that he was constantly reproducing them in his own works. Who cannot detect Sir Thomas Browne's cast of sentiment in " Thoughts on New Year's Eve ;" the structure of Fletcher's versification in John Wood vil's account of the " Forest Sports ;" or the rugged mannerism of Donne in " Angel Help ?" As a poet, we entertain a very indifferent opinion of Charles Lamb; he wants grace, sweetness, fancy, and simplicity of thought ; but as a critic, and a humourist, we feel that no praise of ours can go beyond his deserts. His remarks on Lear and Hogarth are among the finest things of the sort in the language ; and his Essays of Elia, popular as they are now, will be a thousand times more so twenty years hence. They have in them all the germs of perpe tuity. Of his Letters in the present volumes, we may speak in similar terms of praise. Though some of them may appear elaborate, yet they are quite otherwise, it being only the epigrammatic structure of the language that can mislead people in this respect. The thoughts and feelings ever spring " warm from the heart and faith ful to its fires ;" and the odd, out-of-the-way jests are equally unpremeditated. Who can fail to recognize the perfect nature of these remarks, which occur in one of Lamb's Letters to Southey ? " I am going to stand god-father. I don't like the business. I cannot muster up decorum for these occasions; I shall cer tainly disgrace the font. I was at Hazlitt's marriage, and had like to have been turned out several times during the ce remony. Anything awful makes me laugh. I misbehaved once at a funeral." firmed old bachelors—in short, a Jonathan Oldbuck, with the sting taken out of him—that is to say, possessing all his quaint humour, but none of his caustic powers of satire. This character is a very ge neral one ; but it is not often, as in Lamb's case, that it elicits its own peculiarities through the medium of authorship. We more frequently find it written of, than writing of itself--hence the puzzle that Elia was, and is, to the softer-headed of his admirers. Mr. Talfourd's share of the work is done in a sketchy, but, on the whole, satisfactory manner, though we must object to the bland and deferential way in which he alludes to the savage attacks made by the " Anti-Jacobin" and " Edinburgh Reviews" on his friend. He holds, not the language of indigna tion, but of the politest regret, which is somewhat misplaced, considering that the malig nant charge in the " Anti-Jacobin" against Lamb, regarded the man, not the author. A little friendly choler would, we think, not have been amiss here. The Learned Ser jeant's personal sketch of Lamb, and of his first inter view with him, when they made a night of it at the latter's chambers, is executed in a far more hearty and cordial spirit. But indeed every portion of the bio graphy is well done, except the more ambitious por tions of it, which are ornate and poetical to a most perplexing degree. For instance, wishing simply to inform us that Coleridge disliked the Unitarian faith, and the doctrines of Hartley, Priestley, and Edwards, because they did not afford sufficient exercise for his ever-active imagination, the biographer expresses hirnse as follows : " The imagination, which afterwards struggled gloriously but perhaps vainly to overmaster the stupendous clouds of German philosophies, breaking them into huge masses, and tinting them with heavenly hues, then shone through the the simple articles of Unitarian faith, the graceful architecture of Hartley's theory, and the well compacted chain by which Priestley and Edwards seemed to bind all things in necessary connexion, as through transparencies of thought ; and, finding no opposition worthy of its activity in this poor foreground of the mind, opened for itself a bright succession of fairy visions, which it sought to realize on earth." The above passage is a remarkable specimen of what—for want of some better term—we may call a mere verbal imagination. It is nothing more than a heap of clotted metaphors, strung together without order, and conveying not one single idea beyond the one we have above mentioned. Compare it with one of Burke's most splendid passages, such as his com parison of the Constitution to the " proud keep of Windsor," or the sketch of Hyder Ally's troops hanging like "black clouds" on the mountains, ready to pour down on the valley of the Carnatic ; and the difference be tween the poetry of idea, and that of mere words, will at once be perceived. In the one case, we have the true, in the other the false, Florimel. In the imagi nation of Burke, all is clear, distinct, and positive ; in the above flourish of Mr. Talfourd (and there are other such in the present volumes) all is a vague, cloudy indistinctness, calculated, however, to have an effect on a superficial reader ; because " your true no-meaning puzzles more than wit." The Learned Sergeant should bear in mind that meta phors, fractured in every limb, are not ideas ; that pinchbeck is not gold ; and that it is by no means a proof of genius to say, " imagination shines through a well-compacted chain." Had we not seen from his splendid speech in Parliament on the law of copyright that Mr. Talfourd has the " sterling ore" within him, we should not have ventured on these remarks ; but when a man can write ably, we see no reason why he should be spared when he writes directly the re verse.

The unfo r t unate woman was discovered by one of her daughters suspended b y a clothes' line to the foot-rail of the bedstead. She was immediately cut down, and surgical aid procured, but vitality was quite destroyed. The deceased had only retired to her bedroom about half an hour before. No cause can be assigned for her committing the rash act. The I and has l e f t a l arge f am ily, deceased was forty years of age HER M .

THE SPAS OF GERMANY.—Dr. Granville, the author of " Travels to St. Petersburgh," has just published art account of the mineral waters of Germany, under the above title. In this new work he has given a general, full, ex. tended, and practical account of these health-giving springs —an account that leaves no particle of the necessary informa tion for the traveller or the invalid untouched—an account the most accurate and concise, as it is the result of recent inves tigation of the places themselves, instituted in every case by the author in person. The work is not only eminently useful in this respect, but forms one of the most delightful guide books that can bo desired. It is embellished with no less than. thirty-eight spirited illuctrations. We regret to hear that Miss L. H. Sheridan, the clever writcr and composer, has broken a blood-vessel i r h er lungs. 4 3 .. 13 i,, ' c, o . ,i:Allke ' ::',,, Thitid; 19 /7 fir
