CONSOLATION FOR THE LADIES.-LEAP YEAR.—The following is extracted from an old volume printed in 1606, entitled " Courtship, Love and Matri monie;"—" Albeit, it is nowe become !+ parte of the Com mon Lawe, in regard to the socieal relations of life, that as often as every bissextile year doth return, the larlyes have the sole privilege, during the time it eontinueth, of making love unto the men, which they doe either by wordet or lookes, as unto them it seemeth proper ; and moreover, no man will be entitled to the benefits of clergy who dothe refuse to accept the offers of a ladye, or who dothe in say wise treate her proposal withe slight or contumely." WELLS-STREET, Satnalay night 11 o'clock. —Another meeting of the performers of the late Brunswick Theatre was held the evening, at the Black horse, adjoin ing the theatre, and at which Mr. PERCY FARREN pre sided. The performers were particularly requested to at tend, as the business which was to be transacted was stated to be of a " special " nature. The proceedings were strictly private, and no strangers were admitted. It was , however, understood that Mr. P. FARREN would wait on Mr. LAPORTE, of the King's Theatre, on Monday, for the purpose of naming a night in the ensuing week for the be nefit of the sufferers ; and it was also resol ve d, th a t M r . FARRENshould arrange with Mr. Moants, of the Hay market, Mr. BuisToir, of the Surrey, and Mr. YATES, of the Adelphi, for the use of their respective theatres, in the course of the ensuing fortnight. The Loan MAroa and Committee issued an order at six o'clock in the even ing, from the Mansion-house, signed by his Lordship, re questing that every person on the books of the Royal Brunswick Theatre, should apply at the Irish Chamber, Guildhall, on Monday next, for the purpose of receiving a sum amounting to two weeks' salary. The statements, however, of the performers most previously be attested by the Treasurer of the Theatre, and examined'by the Sub- Committee, sitting daily at Wellclose-square. Mr. DA VIDGE, of the Coburg Theatre, handed over the sum of 54/. subscribed by his company, to the LORD MAYOR, in the course of the evening, and his Lordship promised that 71. should be immediately paid eat of it to Mr. FEARON, the leader of the band ; and also a sufficient sum to carry Mrs. VALIIBAN, whose husband was killed, to Ireland.

LITERATURE. The Art of TYING the CRAVAT, with its INF. ENCE on SOCIETY. By H. L E A,LANC, London, I M2B. We never yet met with an instance where, in' point of intellect, an author and his subject were so completely on a level as in the present publi cation. The consequence of this is, that an impressive con more sort of earnestness pervades every - page of the volume, which though not exactly on a par with Livy in splendour of dic tion, with Tacitus in profundity, nor with Gib bon in research, is yct far from contemptible, in asmuch as it is a curiosity which even these startling times of Literature would find somewhat difficult to parallel. The Art of Tying the Cravat, with its influence on Society! ! What a glorious non sequitur ! It reminds us of a certain polyonomous tragedy, written some years since, and entitled (we quote the wo r ds of the title-page), " The Sons of Erin or the cause of the Greeks, by a native of Bengal." In the peculiar character of its arrangement, it resembles still more closely that immortal play of the " Rovers," where Siccius Dcntatus, three Prus sian soldiers, one waiter, two drummers, a beef eater, and Frederick the Great, are met by Miss Matilda Pottingen, marching home together from the Seven Years War, to the highly appropriate air of " Oh, the roast beef of old England." The Preface to this historical phenomenon sets out with stating, that it is far " from being an ephemeral production, that it will be found to contain a mass of useful information, and may be termed an Encyclopaedia of Knowledge." It then proceeds to observe, that black cravats at tained their acme of celebrity, during the first ten years of the nineteenth century, a term " replete with events of the greatest political interest," which events Mr. Le Blanc would indirectly lead us to infer grew out of and were fashioned by the wear of those aforesaid neckerchiefs.— This deduction, in which the philosopher and logician shine forth with equal lustre, goes far to prove that the cravat, not the intellect, was the cause of those great moral convulsions which for so many years alarmed the Continent, and that therefore it is incumbent on every reader to purchase (if not to study) a treatise upon so mo mentous a subject ; which, besides, " will enable him to judge whether he has produced the pro per effect on his own cravat," and by a necessary consequence, on society. It is Swift, we believe, who in that cothprehensive satire, the " Tale of a Tub," has satisfactorily proved that men are nothing more than suits of clothes ; that a Judge is an apt conjunction of ermine and furs, and a politician, a somewhat shabby coat, fresh turned every Session. Even the mind, adds the Dean, is formed of similar materials —religion is a cloak, honesty a pair of shoes worn out in the dirt—and conscience a great coat, easily and satisfactorily slipped off when ever interest or convenience may require it. Granting this, which no one, we think, will deny, why should not ambition be represented by the cravat ? and if so, why should not the cravat have produced all those important events so beautifully and logically alluded to in the pre sent history ? But to resume :—from Mr. Le Blanc's first chapter, which describes the "origin and progress of the neckerchief," we learn that the Roman Emperor, Augustus, wore a cravat, and that " Alexander Severus made use of it when returning from the baths to his Palace ;" two most important facts, which we are concerned to find have escaped the sagacity of Gibbon. The second chapter assures us, that the Egyptians, Persians, and Greeks wore collars. Mr. Le Blanc does not state whether they were starched or no, but we should rather think not, for on referring to Leigh Hunt's polished Dissertation on Washer women, we find that that useful and much ca lumniated she-compound of soap-suds and hot water, was unknown to the ancient world. The third chapter treats elaborately on silk-worms, needle-work, and mulberry trees, which naturally enough paves the way for a digression on black stocks (a sort of second cousin to the cravat), in the course of which our historian significantly observes, that " at Waterloo, Napoleon wore a white handkerchief, with a flowing bow, although the day previous he appeared in his black cra vat "--a memorable incident, whick no doubt occasioned him the loss of the battle. We now come to " lessons on the art of put ting on the cravat," in the first of which we arc told that the " knot when once formed should not be changed under any pretence whatever ;" i. c. it should be like the laws of the Modes and Persians, immutable. The second dilates on " that Sovereign of Cravat Ties, the Ncrud Gordicn," the origin of which (like the precise date of the Pyramids) is lost in the remoteness of antiquity. Notwithstanding, adds our histo rian, " the laborious researches we have bestowed on this interesting subject, we have hitherto been unable to discover the name of the genius to whom the honor of the invention is due." He hints shortly afterwards that Alexander the Great was its inventor, but this we doubt ; to have conquered India and discovered a new tie in the neckerchief would have been a triumph of in tellect too great for one and the same mind to have achieved. The third lesson regards the mode of putting on the cravat ; a stout one, it seems, should be preferred " as it will offer more facilities to the daring fingers of the beginner ;" This is important, and cannot be too strongly impressed on the mind. After describing a variety of different cravats, such as the "cravate a la Byron ;" the " cravate en cascade," (the chief recommendation of which is, that it resembles the cascade in the Palais Royal) ; the " cravate mathematique ;" the " cravate a l'lrlandaise," re markable for its spirited defiance of all ordinary grace and method ; the " cravate a la gastro nome," which must we conceive be immensely unpopular at Guildhall, as it conduces to im mediate suffocation ; after describing all these mi nute varieties with the practised readiness ofa con noisseur, our author concludes by observing, that when a man of character makes his entree into so ciety, all eyes will be directed to the set of his cravat; if this be faultless (alas, what human set can be so !) he will succeed to the height of his de sires ; if otherwise, he will irrecoverably fail. " To us, much reflecting on t hese sub j e cts , it has always seemed strange" that Mr. Brougham, notwithstanding his prodigious powers of intel lect, should have hitherto obtained so few minis terial favours ; now, however, thanks to our his torical Udipus, the mystery is solved—he doe's not adjust his cravat upon Mr. Le Blanc's sys e~ai. Had he studied of science with the deep meditatip&itAlesmes—had lie acquainted himself hilly VW as various ties, folds, and sets, instead of poring over the more inglorious topics of mathematics, jurisprudence, and political economy, he would long ere this e witness e d of a D P r r a i , i n a have been Lord Chan ce ll or , p era d ven ture even We have treated this subject gravely, and in an earnest spirit, because—shall we confess it ? cravats . d e t Dandyism Mi n i ste r, a e tuilien worldim and tile delighted the we have been much struck with its dignified t too withand p 3N h i il r o . saih ß i c l a no t character. hat as a n\ art,NTe have is y f e e t l in its infancy, and like steam, has its thousand modi fications to undergo before it finally settles down into a confirmed and appreciated science. We should not omit to add that by way of complet ing the attractions of his history, Mr. Le Blanc has considerately prefixed his own portrait to the title-page.

WALTER.LONDON, Mr. Walter is a pleasant unaffected traveller, who gossips with his reader as if seated next him at the fire-side. He describes scenes and situations wwe are all famili a r, many of us from hooks Teurs, and still more from personal observation, with all the freshness of a novice ; and by his warm cordial mode of description sheds.over even so stale a subject as Switzerland,. its Lake of Geneva, Rocks ofXeillerie (tole rable only in that work of enchantment The: Heloise,") Glaciers, Chamouni, and so forth, all the splendour and fascination of novelty. He is, however, a mere sketcher, and rambles f'rom sub ject to subject lightly and tastefully, with the ease of the well-booted giant in the German legend. At one moment we find him halting at Rotterdam ; then hurrying off' unexpectedly to Maycuce (of which he gives a neat account) ; and thence to the Swiss and Italian Lakes, mountains, meadows, and waterfalls. Perhaps this sort of travelling harlequinade is better than the deeper and more elaborate prosings of a pro fessed tourist ; at any rate it is more readable. We would particularly recommend attention to Mr. Walter's account of the " Source of the Dantibe,"`it is highly characteristic, but far too long for extract. — Next in interest, perhaps, to this chapter, arc the scatterecrnotices of the Lake of Corn°, from one of which we give the follow ing account of a storm upon its waters : 7 " We have seldom rain without thunder, and that the loudest. I ever heard : the very mountains stein to shake under its influence. These storms sometimes approach with a grandeur, which it would require the poetic pen of Thomson to describe. Ploughing up the surfa c e o f th e lake, which a moment before perhaps was as smooth as a sheet of glass, they advance with inconceivable rapidity ; the thunder meantime rattling over head, and the winds bellowing and struggling with the opposing woods, seem as though they would tear theta up by the roots and plunge them into the troubled waters beneath. Woe betide the unwary boatman who is overtaken by one of these hurri canes in the middle of the lake; if he endeavour to force his boat against the tide he must inevitably sink, his only chance is to scud before the wind and make the shore as soon . as, he can, without considering wher. About six weeks ago, I gave permission to my servant to take the children and nursemaid out upon the lake for a short time: the day was as fine as a summer's day can be: having been up the greater part of the preceding night, I threw myself on my bed and soon fell asleep ; but in about an hour 'was awoke by the banging of doors, and the rushing noise of a furious storm. I got up immediately and ran down to the lake to see if my children were safe. Not a boat was to be keen, the waves were breaking furiously on the opposite Shore, and I was convinced that a boat like mine could not live in such a sea. I inquired of the peasants who lived near if they had seen it ; they replied, it had been observed about an hour before, going out, but they, none of them, could tell which way it had gone. To send in pursuit was therefore vain, and I was under the painful necessity of waiting in the most anxious suspense. By and by the lake resumes: its tranquillity ; one hour passed without bringing any intelligence; another elapsed and increased my anxiety : the shades of evening closed in, and I gave up my children for lest. In the meantime boat after boat had passed, which had been compelled to take shelter during the storm at length we descried a boat slowly advancing ft - mil the opposite side in the direction of my house, having another empty boat in tow : I watched it with an intenseness of anxiety which I cannot describe : on its nearer approach, I perceived, to my unspeakable joy, that all was right, and need not add the rest. My Italian servant was so over come that he could hardly give me an account of what had happened. I gathered from him, however, that he hsd rowed the boat into the middle of the lake, and there being taken up by looking at the steam packet which was then passing, the gathering storm had escaped his notice ; and when he would have returned to our own shore he found it too late ; the hurricane had already taken posses sion of that part of the lake which intervened between them and our villa ; and he found there was nothing left for him but to take advantage of the wind and hasten to the opposite shore : there he fortunately arrived, got the nursemaid and children on shore, when a wave came, drove the boat upon a rock and filled her with water : a moment later and they must have been drowned ! the boat was so bruised that they could not venture to trust them selves to it although the storm had ceased, and the neces sity of procuring another had occasioned the delay." Mr. Walter has thought it worth his while to devote some pages to a prose transcript of one of the most hackneyed " Legends of the Rhine," which Mr. Campbell has versified, and Mr. Manche done his best to spoil. This is surely an error in judgment. The Legend in question is known to every school-boy, and possesses, in fact, as little novelty as the well-known " Thirty days hath September." Should the work reach a second edition (which we think not unlikely), we would recommend Mr. Walter to grant a dis pensation to this chapter. LENT ASSIZES. WESTERN CIRCUIT.—WINCHESTER, MATUnt 1.
