From the Danish of Hans Christian Andersen, By C'. Beckwith. 3 Vols. The title of this work is calculated to excite curio sity, while the name of its author gives promise of gratification. All who have read " The Improvisa tore," all who have admired its glowing descriptions, its enthusiasm, its poetry, will receive with delight any new work of Andersen's. It is, perhaps, from having indulged too much in such expectations that we have been somewhat disappointed in these volumes. This is partly attributable to the translator, who, how ever faithfully he may have rendered the ideas or the words of the original, has certainly done very little towards enhancing its merits as a literary composi tion. Perhaps his was no easy task. The chief cha racteristic of Andersen's writings is their extreme simplicity. He lays all his thoughts and feelings open before us in the most unreserved manner; his language is natural and unaffected, and his style (es pecially in these three volumes) familiar, interesting, unstudied, and even careless. In this last particular, his translator has certainly done him more than jus tice. Yet, however faulty the style (and for an Eng lish composition it is faulty), its simplicity harmonises well with the thoughts and feelings of the Danish writer. Mr. Macaulay has said that "he who, in an enlightened and literary society, aspires to be a great poet, must first become a little child." Christian Andersen is a striking illustration of this idea. His remarks have all the naivete and freshness of child hood—he delights in idle day-dreams, in fanciful pic tures, in marvellous tales : his imagination is bound less on such themes—at times rising almost to the sublime, at others (shall we say it ?) approaching the ridiculous. We should like these volumes better if we found less in them about the poet; it is not, doubtless, from vanity that the author thus speaks of himself—it is only another proof of his simplicity and frankness. He believes himself to be so, and he says just what he thinks, " I am a poet." " The poet saw this," or " the poet said that," is to him as natural as to say "lam a Dane," or " the Dane did this." But these observations have an unfortunate effect ; we are led to expect too much : and, also, he in many places reads on dangerous ground; he comes on the tract of Harold's wanderings, where, notwithstanding Mr. Macaulay's definition, his title of poet is very much placed in jeopardy. Yet we would not be too critical on these volumes—they are full of inte rest, they are calculated to amuse—their very carelessness is attractive. We follow, or rather we eo with, our author, through part of Germany, to Italy, to Greece, to the East, up the Danube, and to the North. We see all the places that we pass, we know all the individuals to whom we are introduced. The description of Rome, brief though it be, is full of interest; it is not such a description as we might find in a history or geography, or ordinary book of travels, it is rather a description of the author's own feelings as he regards it—a series of exclamations of wonder and amazement. He leads us through the gal leries of the Vatican in a state of perfect bewilderment, explaining to us all that he sees, yet hardly seeming to comprehend it himself, till at last, after passing what he happily designates the "painted poetry" of Raphael, we " lift a curtain and stand in St. Peter's Church ! " Notwithstanding the simplicity of the style, the whole narrative is not wanting in force or expression —on the contrary, the chapters on Con stantinople and the bazaars convey to us some idea of the magnificence of those gorgeous regions, while the voyage on the Bosphorus is most graphically de scribed—the coast, on either side, seems to pass before us. Many tales and legends are entwined with the narrative, among others " The Bronze Hog," an imaginary sketch of some Florentine painter. It is in Andersen's peculiar style—we hardly know whether to admire or to laugh at it. A child, sleep ing on the bronze figure of a hog, is conveyed, in a dream, through the galleries of Florence, where the Venus de Medici and all the other works of art appear alive before him. He pauses before the Church of Santa Croce—a church, consecrated not only to the the glory of heaven but to the genius of earth—where, by the bust of Dante, are the graves of Mi c h ae l Angelo, of Alfieri, of Machiavelli, and of Galileo. We are almost angry with Andersen for only allud ing to such a spot in connexion with such a fabulous tale—what description should not a poet have given us of such tombs ? And yet, perhaps, it is as well ; the names of those men are their most eloquent epitaphs—they want no poet to inspire us with poetic thoughts. The first of these volumes contains a por trait of their author, and a brief memoir of his event ful and interesting life. The following extracts will show the very diversified character of this work : " A poet sings because, like the bird, he cannot help it ; something swells in his breast and in his thoughts. The song will out : it spreads like the light, it rises like the waves ; but very often nature places a leaf of her great music-book before him, and it is a challe nge to sing, and then h e s i ngs from her notes." THE POETRY OP RAILROADS. " I have heard many say, that on a railway all the • poetry of travelling is lost, and that we lose sight of the beautiful and interesting. As to the last part of this remark, I can only say that every one is free to stay at whatever station he chooses, and look about him until the next train arrives ; and as to all the poetry of tra velling being lost, I am quite of the contrary opinion. It is in the narrow, close-packed diligences that poetry vanishes : we become dull, we are plagued with heat and dust in the best season of the year, and in winter by bad, heavy roads ; we do not see nature itself in a wider extent, but in longer draughts than in a railway carriage. " Oh, what a noble and great achievement of the mind is this production ! We feel ourlifilVes as powerful as the sorcerers of old ! We put ou“magic horse to the car riage, and space disappears ; ;fly like the cloudsln a storm—as the bird of passage flies ! Our wild horse snorts and snuffs, and the dark steam issues out of his nostrils. Mephistopheles Could not fly quicker with Faust on his cloak ! We are, with natural means, equally as potent in the present age, as those in the middle ages thought that only the Devil himself could be ! With our cunning we are at his side, and, before he knows it him self, we are past him. " I can remember but a few times in my life that I ever felt myself so affected as I was on this railroad journey : it was thus with all my thoughts—that I be held God face to face. I felt a devotion such as, when a child, I have felt in the church alone ; and when older, in the sun-illumined forest, or on the sea in a dead calm and star-light night. Feeling and Imagination are not the only ones that reign in the realm of poetry : they have a brother equally powerful ;—he is callect Int e ll ec t : h e proclaims the eternal truth, and in that, greatness and poetry reside."

A verdict stating the fact was delivered, and the mother of the child was, by direction of the jury, severely admonished by the coroner."

WINDSOR, MONDAY.—The Royal Family took their accustomed exercise this morning on the eastern terrace of the Castle. His Royal Highness Prince Albert, attended by Colonel Seymour and Mr. G. E. Anson, rode out on horseback this morning. Her Royal Highness the Princess of Hesse, attended by Baroness Scheel and Baron Meysenbuch, arrived at Marlborough House at twelve o'clock yesterday, from the residence of the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. at Kew. The Princess, attended by her suite and the Earl of Denbigh, went to the Adelphi, and embarked on a steam-boat proceeding down the River to Greenwich, to inspect the Royal Hospital, and returning up the River to the Tower, where her Royal Highness disem barked, and was conducted through the interior of that fortress. The Princess afterwards returned to Marlborough House, and at five o'clock took her departure, attended by Baroness Scheel, the Earl of Denbigh, and Baron Meysenbuch, for the Euston-square terminus, and left for Watford, en route to Cashiebury Park, Herts, the residence of her Majesty the Queen Dowager. Prince Callimaki, the Turkish Minister, transacted business yesterday, at the Foreign-office. Baron Brun now, the Russian Minister, also transacted business yes terday at the Foreign-office. The Lord Mayor had an interview with Lord John Russell yesterday, at his official residence in Downing street. Dispatches from the Governor of New Zealand were received yesterday at the Colonial-office. ASTLEY'S AMPHITHEATRE.—We understand that Mr. Batty has made another accession to his already talented and numerous Company in the persons of Monsieur and Madame Steinbreecht, and four splendidly trained horses from Berlin, which are said to excel any thing ever seen in the school of the menage. The gen tleman is Stalmiester (or Master of the Horse) to his Majesty the King of Prussia, and, with his horses and attendants, arrived in London, from Berlin by way of Hamburgh and Hull, on Saturday last, and will appear, forthwith, at the Amphitheatre. Mr. Batty has also, since the arrival of the camels, made another addition to his stud, having purchased two splendid zebras, which will be introduced in the forthcoming spectacle, afford ing another proof of the tact and enterprise which has characterised his proceedings through life. FRIGHTFUL DEATHS FROM STARVATION.—On Sa turday two inquests were held by Mr. Baker respecting the circumstances attending the deaths of two persons, both of whom died from starvation. Tho first proceed ings commenced at the White Lion, Mile-end Old-town, on the body of Mary Miles, aged seventy-three. The evidence showed that the only support of •the deceased and her husband was one shilling and a loaf weekly, from the Whitechapel Union, and casual relief from their neighbours. Through the dread of being separated, they would not avail themselves of the offer to enter the workhouse. Deceased was recently attacked with a lingering illness, brought on by the want of necessary food, of which she died on Thursday morning. The apartment occupied by them gave every appearance of the utmost destitution and want.—Verdict " Natural death." The second inquest held by the same Coroner, was taken at the White Hart, Shadwell, on the body of Charles Green, aged fifty-three. The daughter of the deceased stated that her father being out of employment upwards of nine months, he was supported by witness and her mother, but was greatly in want of the neces saries of life. On Thursday he was seized with vomiting blood, the parish surgeon was sent for, but he shortly afterwards died. The jury recorded in this case a verdict similar to the preceding. DARING BURGLAR —On Sunday last, whilst the family were at church, the house of the Rev. Joseph Brown, in Hackney-terrace, was entered by some auda cious robber and stripped of all the plate, Mrs. Brown's gold watch, &c., to the val ue o f 1201. About half-past four a man was seen to leave the house with a large carpet-bag by the servant next door, who unfortunately did not think of giving alarm. What adds to the vexa tion of the loss is that five of the articles of plate, and those the most valuable, had been presented to him by the inhabitants of the various parishes where he has ministered.

(Signed) These medicines a re so ld b y all druggists, And WETMORE." tier k way's EstaWisfuneat, 244 , ruggists, 'ma at Pro t , Strand London, - ST. PETER'S CHURCH. "We ought to see St. Peter's Church during the Easter week, to see it in the evening, and in bright sun shine ! It is perfectly like enchantment to witness what they call the lighting of the dome ; yet it is not alone the dome and the cross high above it that stream with lights, but it is the whole immense building with the colonnades around the place ! We see everything in a hue of fire ; the lamps are so richly diversified, and placed in such situations, that the whole architectural design stands forth confessed. It has a great effect, on such an evening, to go from the illuminated place into the church itself, where all is night and stillness ; but directly under the dome, by the high altar, beams a glory of several hundred silver lamps, placed on the parapet around St. Peter's grave. We climb up to it, and look down into the chapel shining with gold and silver, where the marble figure of a kneeling Pope prays in silence. There is such a peace, such a devotion in the quiet of the church and in this venerable man's figure, that we ourselves aro filled with both, and, like the Catholic, feel a desire to bend in adoration to the Invisible Almighty. " We must wander through this divine temple by sun light, when it is solitary, and the beautiful voices stream from the side chapel : we must come here during the great festivals : the music vibrates, the incense per fumes, thousands kneel down and receive an old man's blessing. Everything beams with light, everything glows with gold and colours 1" THE ACROPOLIS. "During my stay in Athens, I visited daily the Acro polis, whether it were sunshine, or rain I celebrated my birthday by a visit here ; here I read my letters from home. The Acropolis was the last place I visited at Athens when I was about to leave ; my thoughts dwell longest on the Acropolis when they visit Greece. It was as if nature and art reposed on my breast in this place ; here I felt no want, except that all my dear friends could not participate with me in this spectacle. " A sunset, seen from this place, is one of the most elevated sights I know. I have seen such a one. I sat on the steps of the Parthenon ; everything was void and dead towards llymettus ; black birds flew over the valley where a single white column stands. An ass brayed down there, and it sounded like the screams of a jackal ; the sun sank behind the Bay of Salamis, and the moun tains shone with the most powerful colours. 4gina was as blue as the freshest violets. The same colours, the same forms of the mountains were seen by Plato, Socrates, and the great men of that world, from the same spot as that from which I myself saw them. It was the same earth they had trodden. I felt, for a moment, that I was living in those times. The sun went down. and the glittering stars streamed forth over the dilapidated temples ! I felt that God's work is eternal, man's perishable ; but I drank life's poetry from both, which (if God allows it to flourish and expand) shall refresh the heart of man." MAHOMET'S BIRTHDAY. 6; The fourth of May is the birth-day festival of the prop het Mahomet or Mohammed ; th e even i ng before, the festivity began, and th, commencement is undeni ably the finest part of it. That it was moonlight, and that the Osman police laws, even under these circum stances, commands every one that nes out after sunset to carry a candle in a lantern if he would nut be arrested, I do not regard as the most pleasant regulation ; but I was obliged to put - up with it, for neither the moonlight -- Z ----__-/------------ 7 N . v : ~/ c_ ‘; -i< 2--- -6<--) nor the pollee laws could be changed. A young Rus sian, named Aderhas, and I went together, and without any guide, but, furnished with lights in large paper lanterns, we hastened away to' see the illumination in honour of the prophet. We went through one of the narrow side streets of Pera, and a sight lay before us, so magnificent, so beautiful, so fantastic, that the like of it can hardly be expected to be seen in the north in an oriental dream. From the row of houses where we stood, and deep down towards the bay, there lay an ex tensive cemetery, that is to say, a wood of. cypresses, with large closely planted trees—pitchy night rested there. " The path, which the foot of man and homes' hoofs have formed, winds over rugged hills, then downward ; under the high trees. Sometimes it is narrow between the sepulchral monuments, and sometimes it goes over the ruined gravestones. Here and there moved a red or blue lantern, w hi c h, ever an d anon, disappeared and returned to sight again in the dark ground ; there are a few solitary houses in the cemetery; the light shone from the topmost window, or was borne along the open balcony. " The bay, filled with vessels, shone over the tops of the cypresses as blue as a Damascus blade ; two of the largest ships were ornamented in the richest manner with burning lamps ; they beamed around the port holes, about the gunwale, and the masts ; they hung in the shrouds, and transformed them into a radiant net. Opposite us lay the city itself, that great, extended Con stantinople, with its innumerable minarets, all entwined with wreaths of lamps; the air was still red from the setting sun, but so clear and transparent, that the moun tains of Asia and the eternal snow-covered Olympus were plainly visible, the east with all its broken lines like a silvery cloud behind the magnificent city. The moonlight did not diminish the lustre of the lamps, but only brought out the minarets, which seemed white stalks with colossal fire-flowers ; the lesser ones bore one wreath of lights, the larger two, and the largest three, one above the other." THE SULTAN. " Surrounded by a large company of young men, all on foot, and handsome as if they were Oriental women who had ventured out unveiled, and each with a green feather-fan in his hand, sat the young Sriltan, Abdul Meschid, then nineteen years of age, on a beautiful Arabian horse. He wore a green surtout, buttoned over the breast, and without any sort of ornament, if we except a large jewel and bird of paradise feather, fixed in his red fez. He looked very pale and thin, had fea tures that betrayed suffering, and he fixed his dark eyes steadfastly on the spectators, particularly on the Franks. We took our hats off, and saluted him. The soldiers cried aloud, Long live the Emperor!' but he made not the least motion to the greeting. Why does he not salute us?' I asked of a young Turk by the side of me. He saw that we took our hats off ! He regarded you,' answered the Turk. He looked very closely at you!' We were to be satisfied with that—it was as good as the best salutation. I told the Turk that all the Frankish princes saluted with the head uncovered, as we greeted him. It appeared to him like the tale of a tra-) yeller." divided into five closes, two of them abntting upon the railroad at Swindon, and close to the station, let to Mr. Greenaway, Mr. Law rence, and Mr. Bailey.

" The young and amiable Queen is — s;id to have been educated in a most domestic manner in her home in Oldenburg. She entered the frugal palace with con tented satisfaction, and the people greeted her with shouts and welcome. They told me, that all the streets were strewn with roses on her arrival, and that she had a bouquet herself of still rarer, and therefore more beau tiful, flowers. Potatoes had then been just introduced into Greece, and they had experienced the use of them. The blossom on the tops of the potatoes appeared to the Greeks as the rarest and prettiest flower they knew ' • and therefore they b roug ht th e Q ueen, w h o came from Oldenburg, a bouquet'of potato flowers !" 64 WHICH IS THE WISER ?" " Of small events, of which every man has always some to record if he stay in a strange town for a few weeks, I will mention one :—On walking through the streets of Munich, a bookseller's shop attracted me, where I saw amongst the books exhibited in the window a German translation of my novel 6 The Improvisatore, included in Miniaturbibliothek der auslAndischen Clas siker.' I walked in, and asked for the book ; a young man delivered me a little volume, which comprised the first part. " But I Ni,ll to have the whole novel I' said I. " ' That is the whole !' he replied ; ' there are n o ( more parts, I have read it myself, Sir l' " 'Do you not find, then,' I inquired, ' that it ends rather abruptly; that we do not come to any conclusion?' " ' Oh, yes,' said he, ' but it is in this as in the French novels ! The author points out a conclusion, and leaves it to the reader to finish the picture for himself.' "' It is not the case here,' I exclaimed ; ' this is only the first part of the work that you have given me I' " ' I tell you,' said he, half angrily, ' I have read it.' " ' But I have written it !' I replied. " The man looked at me from top to toe ; he did not contradict me, but I could see in his face that he did not believe me." MOORISH PRIDE. "I was sitting with a French newspaper in my hand, when I heard a noise without. My Russian travelling companion had offered our Moor but a few halfpence for his trouble, and the fellow would not accept so little. I saw how small the sum was, and found that it ought to be greater : the Russian said no, and opened the door. The Moor laid the money on the step, put his foot on it, and with a look which, on the stage, would have had its effect, expressed his pride and anger. I would fain have given the man more money, but the Russian placed him self between us, gave the servants a wink, and they turned the dissatisfied man out of doors. And so that incident was over. " I, however, went out soon after into the street, where I expected to find the Moor, and there he stood, sur rounded by a flock of ragged fellows. The money, which the servant had laid outside the door, lay there still in the same place. I tendered him about three times more than had been offered him, giving him to understand that it was from myself. " His eyes rolled in his head. He pointed once more to the few coins the other had offered him, showed me his rags, and held my arm back. He would not accept any thing ; shook his clenched fist towards the house, and went away, proud as a mortified noble. This first scene in Malta put me out of humour." THE WATER CURE IN CHRONIC DIS EASES : an Es position of the Causes, Progress, and Terminations of various Chronic Diseases of the ces tive Organ; Lungs, Nerves, Limb s , an d Shi n; and of their Treatment by Vater, and other Llygienic Means. By James Manby Gully, M.D. There can be no doubt but that cold water is a most important therapeutic agent, neither can there be any doubt but that its therapeutic powers have been too long overlooked or neglected by the legiti mate professors of the healing art. Of that which the educated physician has neglected the uneducated em piric has been but too glad to avail himself ; and, acting upon the principle that cold water is an universal re medy, and that it cannot be applied too freely or too frequently, he has, by administering it not wisely nor too well, done much towards bringing into disrepute a truly valuable remedy, while by professing to do that by means of cold water which all educated medi cal men know it is impossible to accomplish by any remedy, he has disgusted them by his absurd profes sions and induced them to treat the cold water cure with supercilious contempt instead of investigating its powers with care and attention. Feeling con vinced as we do of the great value of cold water as a remedial agent in many diseases, it is with unmixed feelings of satisfaction that we have read this very valuable, learned, and carefully written work by Dr. Gully, who thus explains his objects in writing this which may truly be called the Hydropathic Practice of Physic. " I put this work forward as an attempt in the right way of handling the subject of the water cure, with a hope that it will be carried out by more able observers and writers. Until it is treated gravely, earnestly, and truthfully, as a matter of scientific importance, it never will obtain the footing in the opinion of the public which it ought to have: for in this land of thinking heads, nothing endures unless it addresses itself to sober thought. It is not by " Tributes" and " Confessions" of water patients that the water cure is to be per manently advanced: they are mere puffs indirect, which may answer a temporary purpose by luring the same class of credulous people who would swallow pills or have their corns cut on the strength of " Testimonials" in the newspapers. But productions of their class do permanent injury to the establishment of a new and philosophical mode of treatment; the thinking see through them, and disappointment awaits the unthink ing, who expect to realise the glowing pictures they ex hibit: and thus a good cause is lost by bad advocacy. Such advertisements, and those more direct which tell, in lengthened columns, of water cure establishments, are precisely what the enemies of the treament would desire:— "‘ Hoc Ithaeus velit, magno mercentur Atridse.' Nor can the members of the medical profession be blamed for refusing to acknowledge a plan of treatment so advo cated." He explains the manner in which cold water acts on the system, in enabling it to get rid of chronic visce ral disease in a succinct and scientific manner, with out attempting any of those marvels with the relation of which the public have of late been amused, while the profession has been disgusted. Speaking of the enormous quantities of cold water which some pa tients have been compelled to pour down their throats, he says— ,. y e t in no case is it desirable to swallow the twenty or thirty tumblers before breakfast which we are told are so delightful and refreshing ; it is to be hoped they were tumblers of short measure."
