LITER ATURE. LETTERS FROM CAMBRIDGE. LONPON, 1828. This is a lively desultory little book, discuss ing the habits, customs, amusements, peculiarities, and so forth, of that staid venerable Blue-stock- ing, " Alma Mater," in a cheerful quiet spirit ; but putting forth no one remark sufficiently characteristic to justify us in asserting, as a matter of course, that the author must be a Cambridge man. He may, or may not, be a member of this blessed University ; if he be not, why then he deserves credit for his ingenuity in drawing up so attractive a work from the mere hear-say of others. But after all, the subject, even to one intimately acquainted with it, is at best but meagre. It is barren as the road,—according to Mundungus—" from Dan to Beersheba ;" and possesses no ground on which to build up a s uperstructure. After the reader has been assured that Cambridge is a mathema tical University ; that Euclid, whose Pons Asinorunz (most aptly so called, inasmuch as it has been erected for the express ac commodation of the long-eared fraternity who pass over it in droves, while less adventurous students stop discreetly on this side) is the most classical bridge in Cambridge ; that this Euclid is the god or Granta's idolatry ; that his icono clast worshippers cram themselves with his dogmas, as turkies, with infinitely better effect, are crammed for Christmas ; that the town itself is as dull as can well be conceived, and chiefly, in a moral sense, to be commended for its con venient contiguity to those two chaste hamlets, Barnwell and Castle-end ; that Newmarket—as delicious a drive over as fine a road for a tandem as we ever remember to have broken our neck upon—is within the practicable distance of fourteen miles ; that two things, presuming to call themselYos by the euphonious name of the Gogrnagog Hills, about three yards in height, and of the circumference of Mr. Elliot Smith, the good-humoured Cambridge upholsterer— that these two things are the most picturesque points of attraction in the neighbourhood, with the single exception, perhaps, of that charming drive from the Castle-end turnpike to Fenstan- ton, where the traveller may journey for miles, and see nothing on either side the road, but here and there a half-starved black old crow, perched bolt upright, in the last stage of mis anthropy, upon an unhappy-looking elm in a state of equal starvation ; after the reader has been told all this, we do not really see what. else remains to be said. A few words, indeed, may be added in praise of some one or two of the Colleges, Trinity Li brary, King's Chapel (to which we shall pre sently allude) Neville's Court and so forth ; but beyond this, the most inventive fancy can give no further characteristic intelligence. But 'hold— we forget the wine, which in the true spirit of Christian justice, we pronounce to be the most execrable we ever drank—we will not say digest ed, inasmuch as this is impossible. Nor must we omit 'the sufferings entailed upon the ill advised masticators of a Hall dinner. A Hall dinner ! who ever yet experienced one, and lost not his front teeth by the process ? The mutton in point of flavour and tenderness bears a beauti ful affinity to 'baked shoe-leather ; the beef is redolent of the Fens, the ale is pregnant with the laxative peculiarities of Epsom salts; and the poultry—whether by birth or marriage, we know not—seem closely connected with the tough old crow, of which we just now made honourable mention. Such was Cambridge gastronomy, in in the year of Grace, 1820. Of these momentous topics, equally interest ing in a topographical, zoological, and gastrono mical point of view, the author of the work be fore us says little or nothing. His teeth, per adventure, are good : this may account for his forbearance with regard to the Hall dinners; but by what strange perversity of taste is it., that he has omitted all notice of the wines ? " Judex," he should remember, " damnatur, cum nocens absolvitur ;" " there is a point," says Johnson, " at which silence becomes criminal :" and the author of the " Letters from Cambridge" must plead guilty to this critical criminality. His account, however, of a University " Bitch" (tea party) is faithful and spirited. Human na ture can conceive nothing more perplexing, no thing more wearisome, nothing more detestable, than such an ovation. The Tic Doloreux is a trifle to it. It was once our misfortune to " bitch" in company with six starch Simeonites. One was a little gentleman with his hair combed straight over his forehead ; another was a long man with a curly nose, as if he had been in the habit of putting it in papers ; another was a promising young mathematician, who had a habit of kicking out his left leg whenever he was particularly animated ; another had a frolicsome trick of playing with the sugar-tongs, by way of clinching an argument ; another was the very personification of repose, having stuck himself, with his hands before him, for the night, at the very edge of his chair, with nothing but a slight squint, to indicate existence ; and all these, however diversified in manner, yet met on one , common ground, the discussion of Mr. Simeon 's merits. Vain was every attempt to drive them from it : they boldly stood at bay, thrusting out every unlicensed poacher upon their premises ; topic after topic, however remote in its commencement, yet ended in this one point ; so we were compelled in self-defence to l ea v e the party, after enduring mental tortures which we have not got over to this day. On the subject of that striking feature in a Cambridge education, tandem-driving, our au communicative. A e fear be thor is not equally is but a sorry whip. Nevertheless he should have devoted at least a page to the subje c t, f o r it is o n e eminently characteristic. We our selves remember standing outside the Foun tain Inn, Huntingdon, when a University sprig came rattling towaids us in one of these aerial vehicles. The 'Riau street (it was the day of the Assemblies) was crowded with ladies ; and of course it became an object with the young gentleman to show off. Accordingly he fixed himself in the most graeeful position possible ; zolfurled his whip, and with that sweet simper which indicates an agreeable consciousness of worth, lightly touched his leader. For the sake of bashful merit ,we dread to relate the conse quences. The brute suddenly stopped short, turned full round upon his driver, and stared him with cool impudence in the face. Threats—re monstrances—scourging, were of no avail—the animal refused to stir (he was whispering in subordination to the shaft-horse), and the youth, after remaining stuck fast in the main street for upwards of half an hour, was compelled to dismount with burning cheeks, amid the scarcely suppressed titter of some half dozen ladies, who to make the matter worse, were more than usually beautiful ; in short, the very ones before whom an elegant young man would be the most eager to show off. Human life, amid all its various and complicated suffer ings, has few things worse than this ! It is, how ever, brio means an uncommon occurrence in the annals of tandem driving, and deserved a page, if not a chapter, in the " Letters from Cambridge." Again, there is no mention made of that amusement so peculiarly captivating at Granta— boating on the Cam. We have not the slightest account given us of the mode of sailing upon this full-grown ditch ; where the lazy vessel " drags its slow length along" a sheet of water black as the Styx, and so heavy with mud, that were all heaven's winds with one accord, " Boreas and Cwsias and Argestes loud," to blow over it, they could scarcely get up even a decent sized wave. Neither is there any allusion to that famous Charon, who, with only half a nose, replies to applications for a boat in tones so nasally melodious, that it does one good to hear him. This last is a sad omission. But a far more flagrant error is our author's indifferent way of alluding to King's Chapel.— Had he possessed the slightest spark of poetry, the slightest warmth of imagination, he would have spoken in far higher terms of this un equalled pile. It is the most imposing edifice we ever beheld. Conceive a lofty Gothic temple, arched in a picturesque yet solemn fashion, taken in by the eye at one bold sweep, with its noble organ perched aloft at the further extremity, and its magnificent stained windows, the largest, we believe, in the world, reflecting the light in the mellowest and most varied , colours ! On parti cular occasions this impressive cortpd'ceil wondrously increased ; and when the King's men, in their snowy white surplices, contrasting so poetically with the awful gloom around them, are seen scattered in grouper within the chapel ; and the full-toned organ sends forth its Hosan nahs, echoed back from arch to arch, rever berating along the roof, lingering amid the recesses of the building, and then dying away in a grand and solemn stillness ; the effect is indeed sublime. At such a moment no unholy thought can live within the human heart. The mind becomes weaned from all grovelling affections ; it responds to the scene around it ; it is uplifted on the wings of imagination ; as serts it OVili divinity, and feels that it is essen tially immortal. Surely, then, in a work entitled " Letters from Cambridge," some lengthened mention should have been made of this splendid building. But no, our author has discussed it with the same indifference, and with far less difficulty, than he would have discussed a Hall dinner. He has told us indeed that it is " far-famed." Granted ; but so is the prize ox. All further description he has sedulously withheld : we are compelled, therefore, while doing justice to the sprightliness and variety of his remarks, and to the general fidelity of his descriptions of Cambridge man ners ; to assert, that, in particular instances, where information was more immediately wanted, his book is wofully deficient.

There will be a war somewhere, no doubt ; and wherever it may be, the funds will be affected more or less ; so pray get us out of them with all proper expedition. It has been the burden of my song to you these three years and better, and about as useful as wiser counsels. With regard to Chancery ap peals, arbitrations, surveymgs, bills, fees, re ceipts, disbursements, copyrights, manorial ditto, funds, lands, &c. &c. &c. I shall always be dis posed to follow your more practised and practi cable experience. I will economise, and do, as I have partly proved to you by my surplus re venue of 1822, which almost equals the ditto of the United States of America, in proportion (vide President's Report to Congress) ; and do you second my parsimony by judicious disburse. ments of what is requisite, and a moderate liqui dation. Also to make an investment of any spare moneys as may render some tasance to the owner; because, however little, every little makes a meikie,' as we of the North say, with more reason than rhyme. I hope you have all receipts, &c. and acknowledgments of moneys paid in liquidation of debts, to prevent extortion and hinder the fellows from coming twice, of which they would be capable, particularly as my ab sence would lend them a pretext. You will, perhaps, wonder at this recent and furious fit of accumulation and retrenchment ; but it is not so unnatural. lam not naturally ostentatious, al though once careless, and expensive because careless ; and my extravagant passions have pretty well subsided, as it is time they should, on the very verge of thirty-fi ve . I a l ways l oo k e d to about thirty as the barrier of any real or fierce ' delight in the passions, and determined to work them out in the younger ore and better veins of the mine ; and I flatter myself that, perhaps, I have pretty well done so, and now the dross t e l3 : l , llft e . l -i iav i e lav a e not quite is coming, and " I loves lucre ;" for we must hing ; ot a l t ier l s e , t a i s l it is not for want of Is' l w o o v r e k s e r o e u t b m o y u s r e i hard lf.

However,, for myself; but I should like, God willing, to passion isn et leave something to my relatives more than a mere name ; and besides that, to be able to do good to others to a greater extent. If nothing else will do, I must try bread and water, which, by the way are very nourishing, and sufficient, if good of their kind: NOEL MISS SMITHSON. The following account of Miss Smithson's per formances, lately at Orleans, translated from &Journal of that town, will show that the most enlightened province of France estimates her as highly as the capital : " Rowe, Otway, and Shakspeare, furnished our dramatic banquet these three nights, and we were thus enabled to judge of the respective merits of those great tragic writers: In my opinion Shakspeare surpasses the rest, notwithstanding his incorrections and the singularity of his style. Jane Shore and Venice Preserved certainly contain beauties of the first order, but there are in Romeo whole scenes blazing with genius. No one has ever known so well as Shakspeare how to make passion speak. There is in his expressions a degree of truth and energy which strikes and astonishes. " Miss Smithson has taught us to appreciate his beauties, by throwing upon them the light of her talent. It would be mast difficult to give him a worthier interpreter. When she speaks, her whole soul seems to have passed into her voice. Her ac cents have a truth which appals; her flexible and penetrating tones affect—her shrieks rend the heart. It is natare itself. " How beautiful and tender in the garden scene of the second act ! What energy in her soliloquy while drinking the poison in the fourth act! Who, without shuddering, could have heard her perform ance in the following exquisite lines in the fifth act, when she finds at the feet of Romeo the phial which contains poison— " 0 churl ! drink all, and leave no friendly drop "To help me after. I will kiss thy , lips, " Haply some poison yet cloth hang on them." " Miss Smithson had already given us proofs of her extraordinary talent in Venice Preserved, and es pecially in Jane Shore. In the latter she had been frequently and most happily inspired. The terror which she experiences whilst knocking at Alicia's door, her scream of horror when recognising her hus band, these are effects which art does not teach, but nature. During her long agony, she made us pass through every period of her sufferings, and the truth of her play revealed their increasing pro gress. " The homage of a crown was justly due to so prodigious a talent, and the moment selected for throw►ng it, was a proof of good taste, for it was that when Jane Shore sees and knows her husband. The expressio►► of Miss Smithson's features at that instant was really sublime." FASHIONABLE INTELLIGENCE. ARRIVALS. Captain Frederick Hervey, R.N. in Pall-mall, from Paris; Major F.

The Mayor of EXETER has called a Meeting of the inhabitants of that City for Saturday next, to ex press their sentiments upon the encreased alarming exer tions of the Roman Catholics to obtain political power. The Requisition to the Mayor for this purpose was signed by fifty-fire of the principal inhabitants of the city. At a party in this town (Brighton) a few evenings since, a gentleman was asked if he would take some hock, " Hic, hae, hoc ?" said be, repeating a somewhat old juke.

It is with great regret that we have to an nounce the death of Mr. THOMAS Ban Ice, the celebrated engraver on wood, who may be said to have revived the elegant art in which he so peculiarly excelled. Mr. 13. had long been in a delicate state of health, and died on Saturday morning last, at one o'clock, at his house in West-street, Gateshead, aged seventy-six. Mr. B. was born in the year 1753, at Cherryburn, in the parish of Ovinghain, on the Tyne, in this county, at which parish church, we understand, he is to be interred on Thursday morning next. He was the eldest son of JOHN Bewicr, who had for many years the land sale colliery at Mickley Bank. Ile early manifested great skill in drawing, and at the age of fourteen was apprenticed to Mr. R. Baaliv, the engraver, of Newcastle. In 1775, when twenty-two years of age, be obtained a premium from the Society of Arts for a wood-engraving of the Old Hound. Ire w" naturally fond of delineating animals, and his History of Quadrupeds, his first work, raised him to celebrity. This was followed by his Land Birds, his Water Birds, and his Fables, all of which have gone through several editions. Mr. BEWICK, as we mentioned, a few weeks ago, very lately visited the metropolis. Mr. B.'S largest cut, and one of the finest, is that of a wild bull of Chillingham Park. Next to this in point of con sequence were his large cuts of the zebra, the elephant, e t- i t ' s friends, K y 'oe and tiger, all of w hi c h were engraved for Mr. PincocK, the proprietor o f th e ce l e brated menagerie. Mr. B. was and Mr. Or, as well as th e seve ral prints in Consett' s T our to L ap . land. Mr. 11, has left unfinished a History of Fi s h es , an d a Memoir of hi s ow n Life, with portraits ir of EL and a large cut of an old hunter, which was the last work he employed himself upon, only 11 few days before his death. In conversation Mr. BEWICK exhibited much of that quaintridss and shrewd insight into character which so eminently distinguish the tail-pieces introduced in his several works. He acquitted himself with credit in the various relations of life as a husband, a father, and a friend, land he was touch and deservedly courted as a social com- Paulo" Mr. B.'s bust in marble is in the room of the Literary and Philosophical Society, and will be highly valued now that he is no snore, Tre Alcrcurp THE WEATHER. The prevalence of a dense fog on Tuesday night %Nig the occasion of many accidents, which nearly proved fatal to human life. In the City-road the wheels of a ran came in contact with a post, the driver being quite unable to distiu4nish the road, and pitched a man who was sitting in the vehicle on his head, and seriously injured him. The horses took fright, and ran with speed as far as the Angel, at :Islington, where a female had a very narrow escape. She was sitting on the luggage of a gen tleman just arrived from the country, and the wheel of the van crushed one of the boxes, and grazed the female's leg. A watchman directed his lantern, which had a reflector, on the horses' heads, and they turned away, otherwise the female must hare been run over. On the river a great deal of damage was done be low bridge, and two barges struck the starlings of London-bridge, but fortunately swung off. In the Borough the fog was uncommonly dense. Many of the mails were much after their usual time yesterday morning, having baen delayed by this circumstance. The steam-boat from Hamburgh reached Gravesend on Tuesday night, but, owing to the thick fog which prevailed on the river, could come no further. Many vessels coming up were also detained. Yesterday morning the fog was so dense, that all business in the loading and unloading of shipping was nearly suspended. Near the Mansion-house a coach was overturned, and three persons severely hurt. THE FOG. The fog of yesterday has seldom been exceeded in opacity in the metropolis and its neighbourhood, and many accidents may be expected to be heard of in consequence. It began to thicken very much about half-past twelve o'clock, from which time, till near two, the effect was most distressing, making the , eyes smart, and almost suffocating those who were in the street, particularly asthmatic persons. In the City all the bankers, and offices of different de scriptions, as well in the principal Thops, were obliged to have lights. To see with any distinct ness further than across the street was impossible; all the narrow lanes, beyond the perspective of a few yards, were absolutely in state of darkness, and in the great thoroughfares the hallooing 'of coachmen and drivers to avoid each other, seemingly issuing from the opaque mass in which they were enveloped, was calculated to awake all the caution of riders, as well as of pedes trians who had to cross ie streets. On the Thames, as on land, the tendency which fog has to enlarge distant objects, was strikingly illustrated; the smallest vessels on their approach seemed mag nified to thrice their usual dimensions. St. Paul's had a prodigious effect through the mist, though neither that nor the Monument were visible above the height of the houses. This optical allusion is said to arise from the fog diminishing the brightness of objects, and, consequently, suL - gNiting a greater distance ; whereas, when the visw/l angle remains the same, the greater the distance the greater the magnitude ; hence objects at a moderate distance appear to be magnified. It cleared off a little about a quarter, est two, but returned with all its density in the evening. Lord Bacon defines these perioeical mists to be imperfect condensations of the air, consisting of a large proportion of the air, and a small one of the aqueous vapour, and to happen most in winter, about the change of the weather horn frost to thaw, or from thaw to frost; others describe them as clouds resting on the ground. These are on most occasions considerably elevated in the air; but in all countries they are sometimes found on the surface of the earth, causing a degree of opacity in the air, which is greater or lesser according to circumstances. Mr. Boyle observes, that upon the coast of Coro mandel, and most maritime parts of the East Indies, there are, notwithstanding the heat of the climate, annual fogs so thick, as to occasion people of other nations, who reside there, and even the more tender part of the natives, to keep their houses close shut up. A principal reason for fogs being more frequent in winter than in summer, and more particularly on the sea coasts, and in the vicinity of great rivers, it said to arise from the greater capacity of water for heat than earth ; consequently the former is more slowly brought to the temperature of the atmosphere upon any change. In winter, sometimes a sudden cold is induced by a change of wind : the air then is coldest; next to it the land, and last the water; which is but slowly reduced to temperature for the reason mentioned. Many instances occur of great fogs in summer. In July, 1783, a letter from Dover states a fog to have then continued at that port longer than had ever been known in the oldest me mory, and in consequence of which they had not been able to descry the coast of France for three weeks. When fogs stink, the vapours are mixed with sulpureous exhalations. The extreme density of fogs in places in watery situations, on the sea coast, and on great rivers, is evidenced in various notices of them in the periodi cals of former years. In 1744, at the Hague, so great a fog overspread the town at noon day, that they were forced to carry torches before the coaches, and the coachmen to lead their horses. People in the churches were obliged to stay till it cleared up before they could return home. Dublin has frequently felt the effect of great fogs. Several accidents are stated to have happened from them there in the winter of 1798 and 1813. In the former year so dense a fog happened, that the like had not been remembered by tha oldest man living; the streets were at one time so dark, that people could hardly distinguish one another's faces. At night it was not possible to see without lighted flambeaux. This fog was attended by a faint easterly wind. The great fog preceding the hard frost. of 1813-14, when the Thames was frozen over, was remarked for its density and the numerous accidents it occasioned. His present Majesty, then Prince Regent, had left town December 27, say the papers, for Belvoir Castle, but at a little distance was forced to return. Lord Lowther was in one carriage with the Prince, and General Turner in a second. They had not gone far, when an outrider was thrown into r ditch.— It is observed, that no instance of such a fog had been known since the earthquake at Lisbon, in 1755; when the country was visited by a greater fog than had been known for a century before. The December of 1818 was also distinguished by an intense fog. Ij i t u ' t C . 2 . 3 ..A LL A E le t e ; t E ing.

The silk people are determined to visit on us the crimes of Mr. Huskisson and his conntier cial reform. These gentlemen have taken rather a shoppish way of arguing the merits of the question which they have clamoured hard to re- yive, but f o r which we are well convi nce d th e y will f a il to procure a re -h ear ing by th e Legisla ture, so long as one branch of it has any claim and 40 to be a rep resentat i ve o f pu bli c op i n i on, long as the nation in general retains its reason ing faculties. A meeting of silk-weavers, not many weeks ago, came forward with resolutions consequence, enormous _ declaratory of the distress by which the trade as they said, of who substituted (for.es pro tectingafflicted, f le i treasures d pet u ree t d ; i oaoigfunasel prohibition)r. s e uk i e g : s st manufactured silks. The arguments a priori in favour of Mr. Hus kisson's measure, derived from general principles of commerce, have been strikingly enforced and illustrated by subsequent and almost uniform ex perience of the condition of the trade. The British manufacturer enjoyed, under the old system, a legal monopoly of the British market . This was, according to common sense and Mr. Huskisson, not only a grievous oppression to tie consumer, but a positive injury, looking at final consequences, to the quality of th e home ar ticle, and to the extension and prosperity of the trade itself. We hare frequently stated these grounds of decided approbation on behalf of the measures of Mr. Huskisson. —ln speaking the other day on this subject, and enumerating the advantages of which the new law had been productive, we mentioned one, which, in the present condition of the, trade, was of very inconsiderable comparative importance, but which could be justly stated as existing in reference only to the year 1827,— we mean the export of British manufactured silks to foreign countries. Now this 4eing a weak, and, as we shall prove presently, a most insignificant part of the subject, is the solitary point to which the Milk-street malcontents apply 'themselves in noticing our views upon the general merits of the question'.- 'Upon .the,rightis of the consumer to protection,' T they say - -not - °a - Word ; upon the extinction of - the silk-= itianufacture throughout the country,—upon the increase in the importa tion of raw silk,—upon the great increase in the home consumption of British manu f acture d lilks,- . --upod the 'Sensityle improvement in the quality of the goods, arising from the 'downfall of the monopoly", and'Ote:fOundation "which it lays fora future "expo & `trade ''to - foieign countries, theSe • candid and enlightened persons are abso lutely silent-:„. With dogged diScretion they stand Upon the single narrow spot that we have afforded them, viz. that the export trade has not vet progressively increased. Well, we give it to them ; and now see how much they get by it. The value of manufactured silk exported in 1823, the year before the change of the system, was 181,000/. ; it fell progressively—in 1824, to 159,0001. ; in 1825, to 150,0001.; in 1826 (a 6 ft l e , r oo tl o le l . 13 ; a n justie ) , 12006;0000001/. short . ;in l 8 02f7, the it yearroseto 1823. There are two thing's to be 'observed 1 here: ISt, the ridicule of attempting to t race a fall in the export to that reduction of d ut i es on the raw material which must, on every principle, be considered as the natural means of lowering the price of the manufactured article, and there by, one day or other, facilitating an export trade. 2d. The absurdity of dwelling, as of pri mary importance, upon a fact which is altogether subordinate or insignificant in its relation to the substance of the subject, as we shall now demon strate. - The increase - in the importation of raw silk entered for hoine consumption, durin g - the years aboVe referred to, Was as followS, taken in lbs. and in round numbers :- 1823 (before the change) . • £2,432,000 1824 (year of the change) . 3,993,000 1825 year of cotton bubble) . 3,589 , 000 1826 year of universal re-action) 2,244,000 1827 year of recovery) . 4,209,000 . . wlk ,_ Now, compare the quaidity entered last y ear f or home consumption, with th a t o f t h e year b efore the new law took place, and see wh at i s t h e dif ference in pounds . avoirdupoi s , an d next in pounds sterling. The increa se in. pounds o f raw silk is_ above 1,770,000. T a ki ng each pound of raw silk at Ms., will givee think, us,it for the am to increased value of, the rate ma t er i a l on l y , im ported for home-consumption, a b ove .1,400,000 L, but if the value of the labour employed up o n i t , and of the profit which. it, brings, be add e d, (which, indeed, we -cannot venture to ca l cu l ate), the case is pretty well settled , the balance of good and evil, where th e home market has almost doubled its demands, making an addition, in point of raw silk , , g I only, of near a million and a half sterling, while the export trade has lost—and lost, very manifestly, not because of the new of it, 20,0001. at the most. We can carry on this debate no farther, and we must request of Milk -street to pour out its exuberance through some other channel. The country is not made for a prey to any set of manufacturers, whatever may be their inclinations. If the price of silks have fallen and their quality improved, it is a benefit which the public ought to rejoice at, and a proof that competition has been at work to repair the .evils of an obstinate and oppressive monopoly, during which no manufacturer would have vouchsafed to disturb his invention, or call forth his capital, for the satisfaction of purchasers over whom the law had made him (to what ex tent he pleased) a tyrant. Our numerous cor respondents on this subject (we have rec e i ve d above a dozen long letters since Tuesday even- Mg) must excuse us for not publishing their communications.
