LONDON, WEDNESDAY, MAY 2, 1855. The House of Commons really does seem dis posed to show a little more interest in the nation's business. At the division on the Loan Bill on Monday night, the number of persons elected to do the business of the country who contrived to be present positively amounted to 321, nearly half the members ! Later in the evening, when Mr. MILNEE and Mr. Lows proposed to make the Times a present (in addition to Mr. GLAD STONE'S of last year) of 1251. for every number with a supplement, say of 375/. per week, or about 20,0001. per annum—the house actually mustered some 346 members, rather more than half its members. A majorityofl74collec'ed together to express the general feeling about the shameless proposal. Very well in its way this. A rather hopeful sign that 260 independent and honour able members dared to incur the penalty of a black cross against their names in the Parliamen tary Register of the Great Implacable. If, how ever, they want to show their assiduity or their courage scope will not be wanting. It is some thing, to be sure, to beard the Times ; but it will be somewhat more to brave the dis pleasure of a Prime Minister, of a Cabi net, of a whole Aristocracy, their officials and their inveterate system, of the COBUEGS and the Court. Tile infuriated muster against Mr. LAYARD last Friday shows what an honest reformer of aristocratic abuses must expect: His firmness on that occasion does him infinite honour. He seemed perfectly unmoved by the sanctimo nious bray around him ; and he has but to de velope his resolutions with equal firmness to gain for himself a lasting reputation, and to render h:s country an invaluable service. We take the scene of that evening as a pretty fair proof of the real quality of our present House of Commons. It is one quite ready to swarm together to vanquish if it could a solitary denouncer of aristocratic misrule, and ready, too, to exult in seizing hold of some trivial errors of statement, and to hoot down the weightiest ques tion of the'hour on the strength of them. Dur ing the whole session we have not seen the House look so exceedingly small. While it thought to put down Mr. LAYARD, it only compelled him to despise its hypocrisy, and sunk itself in the eyes of all Europe as well as of all England. Mem bers racked themselves to put him on the rack Parliamentary ; but unluckily lie would not even wince. He was completely victorious. Let the country see to it that his victory be not a barren one. The nation ought now to face the real difficulty of its position. This difficulty lies at home. We have statesmen utterly incompetent to deal with Saxe-Coburg, Austria, and Russia combined, and equally incompetent to deal with army and official patronage. The political and the administrative diffi culties are both of them such as our aristocratic Government will never ly grapple with. They make a show of doing something, but will do nothing to annoy either the relatives of our Crown, or Lord jonN RnssELL's pet, Austria ; or the titled incapables who have quar tered themselves on the civil and military estab lishments of the nation. The country justly suspects incalculable mischief from the subser viency of all our Premiers ,:to, court Germanism. Without a tinge of disloyal feeling, we believe there is a disposition to curse' the Hanoverian policy of sustaining so rigidly the purity of the German descent of the family which governs us. There was great joy when Hanover itself dropped off from the English Crown ; but i ae d it s!eseems3 only to have resulted in linking ms in dissolubly t o one o f the most corn pletely inedi a State whi c h , in f little states of Germany—a act, is but an electric wire between the Austrian a nd 'English Crowns.

Ifejlie nation errs in this, 'twere well it should know it ; if it does not, it were even still , ?mart important. a new ‘3 V") () NV stand upon the commencement of w ar. Prussia has cancelled all the Four l'o:nts by raffia. the carding], Que. pw3o-3111iSe _ ... ; .,a . dievous proposals are gone, or ought to be gone, for ever. The questions of Crimean and Bes sarabian conquest, and of Polish liberation, are now fairly before all the parties con cerned. Austria may now surely be required to fight for or against, while Prussia must be compelled to stop Russian transit trade, or to have her Ports blockaded. We confess we shudder at the thought of such questions being entrusted to the class which has long held the helm in England, to the particular individuals who grasp it now, and to a Court so bound up with the miserable despots of Germany. There are men who, at the head of our troops, would have wintered in Sebastopol, but to have employed them would —we blush to write it—have superseded old Lords and their relatives, though it would have saved our men and our money, and have brought Rus , ia on her knees before now. We could rame the men who as commanders-in-chief would have done what we have stated ; but all the family cliques would have turned up their noses at the mention of them. They uiust make the nation almost nytd before they will give way. There are men, too, who know the political counsels which would save the Allies and Europe, and who could give effect to them, but they belong not to the governing cliques, and if they did they must govern their politics by German considerations, or they would not be endured in the Cabinet. We must think that our only hope liss in the nation's awaking to its own imperative wants, and to its compelling the House of Commons to do its duty, or to give place to one which *ill. Good attendances for party conflicts, and empty benches for the busi ness of the country, or for the evasion of su premely important motions can be tolerated no longer. Procrastination and mystery appear to be the 'prevailing principles of the PALMERSTON Admi nistration. Postpone everything to the latest moment, and then withhold any information while it is possible to do so. These seem to be the chief rules of action of our present rulers, and they are the only points in which vacillation and infirmity of purpose are not but too plainly per ceptible. The telegraph has, with some trifling breaks, been opened to Balaklava. Ample infer _mation may be received from the seat of War within a few' hours. But the public are in no respect wiser or better informed. The Govern ment has taken the example of the "Dog in the manger," celebrated in the nursery fable, and will neither itself use the extraordinary means for obtaining rapid intelligence thereby afforded, nor permit any one else to do so. That no accident has occurred to impair its effici ency is certain from the•facts stated by the First Lord of the Admiralty, who admitted that tele graphic despatches had been received from the Crimea, but positively declared that be had given their substance nearly 'verbatim to the House ; and further, that the Government would commu nicate any information they mi.:ht receive, and which they considered to be interesting ! Extra ordinary as these assertions may appear, we are, in the fibsence of conclusive evidence to the con trary, bound to believe them. What, then, can be thought of the apathy and indifference of Lord RAGLAN, who does not condescend to make the most trifling effort to appease the public anxiety, or to set at rest the sinister rumours which silence at such a time, -and under such circumstances, must necessarily occasion? What of the Ministry who do not forthwith insist on his availing him self of the means at his disposal, to the extent of sending at least a daily desrfitch respecting the true state of affairs before Szbastopol 7 All par ties concerned appear to be equally reprehensible for their very extraordinary conduct in refereime to this strange and ominuns.taci:urnity. Sir CHARLES WOOD hai also declared that the telegraph will be entirely under the control of Government. But he does not say that it wih be confined to their service. But is it net so,? Who else has been permitted to transMit a mes- sage of any kind ? From the extraordinary bre vity of Lord RAGLAN'S conimunicatiuns, it is ob vious that the use of the machine for a very few minutes in the day would amply satisfy his re quirements, and that it must remain idle for more than 23 out of the 24 hours. It is impossible to suppose that there are not many persons anxious to transmit intelligence if they were at liberty to do so. Although, therefore, Sir CHARLES WOOD "does not say that it is confined to Government use, it is obvious that it is so, and that the First Lord of the Admiralty has evaded the question which he professed to answer. The suppress;,o vere is, however, scarcely more justifiable than the suggestio falsi. If the House and the Country are deceived - or misled by a I quibble, it just as bad as if a similar result bad been obtained by a direct falsehood. We trust, therefore, that a more distinct and intelligible answer may be elicited froth the Right Hon. Bart. on a point on which the public anxiety is so greatly excited. It iS DOW certain that nosatisfactory result can he anticipated from negotiations, and that any honour- . able Peace, likely to be permanent, must, as we have repeatedly declared, be "conquered." Al though other elements may speedily be added to the calculation, the venue for the time is laid before Sebastopol. We know that Russia—who has not beeti idle or slothful during the time wasted in the Conferences atVi en na, has concentrated an enormous force in the vicinity a the Allied lines, and it is more than probable thatAlerce attack, similar to that of Inkerman, will be made on the French and English armies, seconded by a sortie from the beleaguered fortress. Should such a conflict take place, it will indeed be one for life or `death. Few of the Western warriors will be spared should the Russian attack prove successful. They are not men to quit their posts, or abandon the posi tions which they have assumed, while the f a i n t est hope remains ; and yet, at such a time, and under such circumstances, the Government will neither supply the required information themselves, nor allow us to obtain it from independent sources ! This is assuredly too bad, and it will be the fault of both Houses of Parliament if such an untoward state of affairs should be suffered to prevail much longer. Again, the most serious doubts are entertained as to the course to be ,pursued by Austria. Lord JOHN, who can alone dispel the mystezy, returned on Sitnday, and on Monday evening appeared in his place in Parliament. An influential Cabinet Minister, one who is generally supposed to have more weight in the National Councils than even the nominal Premier, has admitted that " it is of infinite importance that the earliest possible infor mation should be given to the House and the country zespecting the result of the negotiations." alid yet no time is specified; no day named when ° " r doubts an d anx i et i es s h a ll b e set a t rest. This is not f a i r to tle community, nor re 'Peetful to the I.eg Parli ame n t isl• ature. The authority of is) if Possibl e , to be set at nought, Y, eul im i t the her e di ty either Idou,erYaeatrl be a representative_ members of which, if th e treated with contumely Y yf If they's° lightly a th-ir O wn di gn i ty or theweila whirl 44, - to, they will richly merit. - 77 7 ar6 kJ! . . 04443 , th e. memories of those who owe their positions to the suffrages of independent constituencies may be very unpleasantly jogged. The dreaded appeal to the country may come sooner than they antici pate, and if they hope to pass unscathed through that ordeal they must shake off their insouceance, and display, even at the eleventh hour, qualities befitting the chosen representatives of the British People.

The Moniteur contains the following : " It appears from a letter addre.sed to the Minister of Marine by the French Consul. at Stettin, that the navi gat.io•l between that port and Swinemunde has been re opened for room days. The high tides, however, require extreme caution or► the part of pilots and commanders of vessels in consequence of the inundations, which have placed the coat under water. Some small craft have already been lost. The boats between Stettin and Co penhagen have been running since the 18th of April. They will also commence running to Stockholm shortly. "The French Consul moreover announces that a de cree of the Russian Government, dated the 31 of April, orders the service of the lighthouses, which had beta re established in the Gulfs of Finland, Bothnia, and Riga, alter the departure of the allied fleets and the ralAng of the blockade, to be again susl.ended.

HAMBURG, April 28.—We learn from Copen hagen that at LOUR on Wednesday last, the 25th inst., Admiral ondas., Commander-in-Chief of the Baltic fleet, arrived th ere on biard of her Britannic Majesty's steam sloop Dragon, from Kiel. The gallant Admiral landed, immediately after his ar rival, at the Custom-house quay, and proceeded to the British embassy. The Cuckoo steam gun-boat, of 2 guns, Coat mauder A. G. E. Murray, anchored the (lay pre vionsly in the Rhine, coming from England. The permission now given - lit - Pie sailors and mar fines of the fleet at Kiel to visit the town seems to be an indication that on the return of the Com niander-in-Chief from Copenhagen a forward move may be anticipated towards Gothland. Near Laudsort, on the coast of Sweden, the ice was firm for about four English miles seawards, and at the Shuren the ico was still very strong and thick, with only hero and there small openings to be seen, on the 21st instant. Warm weather, which had, prevailed, would, however., not be • able to remove the masses of ice away for some time ; and, unless stormy weather, accompanied by heavy rains, takes place, some consider able delay may ensue yet before the navigation there becomes free. The accounts front Memel say that sinice the Opening of the navigation again this season a very large number of ships had ar rived there --as many ws 120—of which, however, litly 30 had cargoes, tJa b e rest in ballast ; in conse quence freights hail &lien consi , lerablY• The ice in the Ne" ,ra commenced breaking up on the 20th of April.

On the evening of little more might the 25th Constantinople, t i ne Sardinian 'steam-frigate Carlo Alberto (Captain the Marquis Cava) sailed for having on board four compa nies of Bersaglieri, and two companies of En gineers. Yesterday evening the small Govern ment steamer Authion, with some staff offiCers in charge of the military chest, sailed for the same destination, as also the Charity and Cleopatra trans ports, with about 1,400 men of the reserve d; each of these latter steamers towing a sailing trans port with stores. To-night it is expected the Thames, Europa, and Jura will get away. These three vessels will carry altogether nearly 1,000 horses. The Jura, which is only fitted for 409, will have 500, in consequence of the want of trans port, and the other ships must be loaded in the same proporti , Jn to their capacity. Her Majesty's troop ship Resistance arrived yesterday morning from Malta, and the screw transport Queen of the South, from Spezzia. since it has been understood that the Sardinian army is to be attached to the English, to be em ployed in the field, instead of in siege woiks, the leaders of the expedition appear more satistied, while their friends at home rejoice that they are not to be tied down to that small space before Sebastopol which has been the deathbed of so many thousands dutins, the last five mouths. Much of the disagreeable feeling has disappeared, too. which was very naturally excited by the a.r.aunts of sef tering In the allied camp during therou winter. Yesterday the Government placed the steam sloop-of-war Tripoli at the diTosztion of Captain Hall, of the Croesus, and she proceedei to Porto fino to examine the wreck. She returned in the evening, and I understand there is little hope of saving anything beyond the hull and perhaps part of the machinery. Captain Hall demanded an in quiry into his conduct, which has been sitting on board the Vulcan troop-ship. The decision is nct yet known. - RUSSIA. The, Invalide kusse .emitinues to publish. Prince Gortschakoff's account of the bombardment. It says "To complete his telegraphic despatch, published cn the Bth (20th just.), relative to the operations before Sebastopol, from the 30th March (11th April) to the. 3d (15th) April, a report from Arde-de•camp General Prince Gortschakoff, of this latter date, annouiices that tue enemy continue to cannonade the fortress • with the greatest vivacity during the day, and to bombard it during the night. Notwithstanding the rapid fire and the concentration of the fire of their batteries, which mount circa 350 guns, of which 80 are nio,•tais, t'Ae loss of our garris,n cannot comparatively be considered very great ; we have not had many guns dismounted, owing to our fortifications be4g cut by a sufficient number of traverses and to our batteries being sheltered by poling's (blindages). " Dtiring the day the fire of our artillery is also inces sant ; thanks to the coolness and skill with which it is served, many tif the enemy's guns have been dismounted, an i the enibrasures of some of the batteries knocked in. All our damage is actively repaired during the night.' The dismounted guns are replaced by new ones, and the losses of the garrison made good by nitiforcements that arrive, so that on the 3d (15th) April SObastopol was as strollg as before the bombardment." To the above general statement of the heroic deeds of the defenders of Sebastopol, Aide-de camp General Prince Gortschakoff , adds some details on the siege works, and on the operations which have taken placeduring the bombardment : "On the 31st of March (12th April) the enemy, in superior numbers, made an attack upon the position (logenzent) in front ofbaslion No. 5, but their first at tack was repulsed by the 2d battalion of the Chassenrs ue KelyVen, under the orders of Lieutenant-Colonel Temiriazeff. To explai❑ the operations described below it is indispensable to state that along the whole of our line of defence small logemens (rifle pits) have been es tablished for our riflemen, situate nearer to the parallels of the besiegers than to our own fortifications. The enerny,fully appreciating the harm done by,these rapidly constructed defences, are now exerting every possible effort to make us abandon theme . , but these attempt; cost them dearly, for on different occasions our advanced chain has defeated them at the point of the bayonet, or has drawn them under the sharp firs of grape of our nearest works. "On the above-named day,.at 4 a.m., we managed An explosion with the greatest success against the ene;ii y's galleries, directed towards Ristion No. 4. ( „Vous fines tauter un globe de compression.) " In the night between the 31st of March and Ist of April (12th to 13th April), the besiegers attempted to i , arry the rifle pits situate in the ravine between Bastions 4 and 5. The riflemen of the Kolyv<in and Catherine regiments, who occupied th em , c h arge d th em a t he point of the bayonet, and routed them. " On the Ist (13ti.) April, our artillery silenced some of the enemy' batterie-, ami blew up a powder magazine in the great E ,- iglish batttry, many of the embrasures of which weie dctitroycd. " All this time the Allied fleet, consisting of 20 ships, frigates, tour corvettes, 22 steamers, and f ntr gun boAs, remanied inactive, anchored opposite Kliniesch snd Streietza bays ; but on the Ist (13th) April three steamers were detached, which, after firing a few shots at our fortifications, again rejoined the fleet. In'the night between the Ist and 2 , 1 (1311 and 14 , ,h) April the garrison unler . ti - iok works for coneecting the isolated rifle pits in front of bastions 5 and so as tri take in fl ink and rear the trench duj by the besiegers during the night bet Ween th ‘ e 30th and 31st March (11th-12th. April), " The enemy, perceiving this, twice attacked these work., the seconl• time witi field artillery ; but after a hand-to band if4lit and a discharge of grape they were obliged to retire. • " Prince G,.rtschakoff assures that these skirmishes are quite to the taste of our volunteers, and offer them opportunities for displaying their valour. " On tha Caine night, the besiegers attempted to carry •out a full sap, directed against the sa!ieitt angle of Bas tion No. 4, but our file prevented them. " On the 24 (14: h) April, at daybreak, the enemy un masked two newiy-constructed bat%eries, but, at the end of two hours, our fire silenced one of them. • • " In the night between the 2d and 3d (14th and 15th) of April, our secret post established in the ravine be tween bastions 5 and 6, perceiving that the enemy had commenced works near the cemetery, sent information thereof to bastion No. 5. _ "Five rounds of grape then silenced the works com menced, and, a'though they were resumed an hour later, our grape again compelltd the enemy to retire, leaving 30 killed upon. the groun-I. On the ioiine night the bombardment of the fortniss was not so brisk. " On the 3d (15th) April all the attempts of be siegers to clntinue their works of full sap, or to convert into trenches the rifle-pits in front of bastion No, 5, were stopped. by the well-directed fire of the artillery of the place. " The loss suffered by the .garrison; from the 30th March to the 3 , 1 April-(11th to 15th April), consists in 7 subalterns and 436 men killed ; 6 superior officer, 34 subaltern officers, and 1,899 men wounded. Unliap pily, Lieut. rl`itoff, of the navy, Capt. Stehiegloff, d the foholsk Regiment, Capt. Privatecheff, and Lieut. SAi kanh,:ff, of the Kolyvan • Regiment, all distinguished officers, are among the shin. Among the officers seriously wounded are Colonel Zagoskine, com mander of the 10th artillery hripade, and who commanded the land troops of the 2d section (of the line of defence), Lieutenant-Colonel Temiriazeff, corn mannr of the Koly van Chasseurslsince dead), and Col. Louschkoff, commander of the Volhynia regiment, most intelligent officers, distinguished for personal valour." Prince Gortschakoff concludes his report as fol lows "On beholding the intrepidity, it might be said even the gaiety of the garrison of Sebastopol, in. the midst of the most distressing works, ,executed almost without , a moment's respite, under a terrible fire, which has con inued without interruption for the last six days, it is im possible cot to feel proud of bearing the name of Russian.' An extraordinary supplement of the invedide' .I?usse publishes the following despatch from, Prince Gortschakoff, the substance of which we have already published : " Aide-de-Camp General Prince Gortschakoff an nounces from Sebastopol, under date of the 7th (19th) April, by telegraph from Kieff, that the fire of the enemy was slacker during the 4th, sth, .and 6th (16th, 17th, and 13th) April, than on the preceding days. Our hat teriea replied with success, especially by a very sharp fire against th e groun d in front of Bastion 4, so as to obstruct the works renewed with energy by the besiegers on that point. . _ " Our damage is repaired during the night. "In the night between the 6th and 7th (I§th and 19th) of April a sortie was made by a battalion to de stroy the approaches nearest to the place. It was crowned with complete success, and attended with little loss, "In general the losses of the garrison during the last few days have been less than on the preceding days." RussrA.—Advices from St. Petersburg of the 214 of April st.te that the weather was mild, and that the ice in the Nova had broken up on the preceding day. Open water was therefore expected in about a fortnight at Cronatadt. From Riga the dates are to the 23d of April, when the weather was fine; but cold. There was only 9 feet of water on the bar, and some dredging would be required in order to get vessels lying at Bolderaa to sea, "The British Admiralty," it is remat ked, "who at first per, dtted them to proceed, now make some restrictions."

BURANELLI, THE MURDERER.—A post nwrtent exami illation of the body was made ,on Monday ny the m edical superintendent of St. Luke's- Hospital, when the brain and its membranes were found to be perfectly healthy, thus confirming the opinion of the jury as to tile sanity of the man, and his consequent responsibility for•the CrilDAgi into which his vicious nature had ia3pelletl . • -- THE MAGAZINES. l3laokwood.—The first 'article is on " The Length of Human Life," from which it appears Buffon arrives at the satisfactory conclusion that man ought Olive 90 or 100 years. This idea is founded on the proportion the lives of animals bear to the length of time they take in growing. The duration of life is generally five times longer than the growth, according to which ratio the natural life of a man is fixed at about a hundred years. To attain this result, however, it isuecessary to follow the laws of nature, and to adhere to some of the great principles of health. The ,continuation of Zaidee " relates the failure of the unfortunate little heroine in her part of nursery governess to the unruly tribe of juvenile Disbrowes. If the younger members of the family resemble their elder sisters, it is not to be wondered that they are disagreeable and unmanageable and we cannot admire the taste of Mr. Edward Lancaster iu selecting the bustling Charlotte for his wife.. Mrs. Disbrowe herself, with her really kind heart under all her model management, is the most attrac- nye of the family. v At the conclusion of tlis instalment, a new home and new friends are offered to Zaidee, whom we shall no doubt meet again in another country with other companions. A criticism on the "Poi-try of the War, reviewed before Seoastopol," contains notices of Alma, and other poems by R. C. Trench, and Sonnets on the War. The critic asserts he has read the poems " with the accompaniment of the frequent guns," and therefore cannot review them in other than a kindly spirit. He renders full justice to the merits of all the authors, though some isolated expressions naturally excite his ridicule, especially the epithet of " cold demons," whi c h he declares to upset all one's roost cherished ideas on the subject. We think the suspicions he expresses as to the public estimation of military merit to be unfounded, and scarcely fair, as, although we have a Peace Society, we have never withheld oar tribute of admiration from the distinguished soldiers of ancient or modern "The Campaigns of a French Hussar" is founded on the, memoirs of Colonel Combe, who was engaged in the campaigns 1:f 1812, 1813, and 181445, aFrench work lately published. At the pre sent time it is curious to read such narratives and compare them with recent events. A criticism on " M:dern NovAists, Great and Sinai)," ridi and deprecates the system of quarrelling which has recently crept into works of fiction. Certainly the 'instances given are numerous—" Jane Eyre," " North and South," "Grace Lee," "Agatha's. Husband,'' &c. The critic asks, "Do you think dia . :. young lady is an angelic being, young wide man ? Do you compare her to roses and lilies, and stars and sunbeams in your deluded imagination ? Unhappy youth ! She is not an angel. She is a fair Waliator." In despair he exclaims— " Shall all our love stories be squabbles after this? Shall we have nothing but encoun ters of arms between the knight and the lady—bitter personal altercations and mutual dell- . ante ?Itis a doleful prospect." Notes on Canada and the North-West States of America contains some interesting details of transatlantic life. A criticism on the' Royal Scottish Academy takes a brief review of the progress of Northern Art. It is remarked that to those who remember what it was thirty years ago, the present exhibition of the Academy must seem especially wonderful. A con versation on "The Cold Shade," and the continu ation of " The Story of the Campaign," conclude the number. Dublin University.—‘' The Dramatic Writers of Ireland" has several names in its list this month the first mentioned is that of William O'Brien, who, it is remarked, is a solitary instance of an actor who made his fortune by marriage. His social elevation was, however, the ruin of his histi ionic prospects, for the noble family to which he allied himself procured hitu a foreign appoint ment in lieu of his profession at home. Sunous does not rank very high as a dramatist, having only written a short comedy and a farce, but he is mentioned here on account of his peculiarities. "In imitation he was strong as a Hercules, a per. feet giant, superior to Caulfield, Foote, Wilkin son, or even the late Ctiarlest Matthews." Ho played Jane Shore as Mrs. Siddons, and Alicia as MN. Crawford, and a person whose 'eyes were shut might have thenght that the two great actresses were in the pace. O'Ke(le was unfortunately blind nearly al his life, but thtt did not prevent Iris being one of the most pn)11 , 1,; writers ; he gave a list of sixty-. ight all. his own. .and was not sure that this numOor comprised all. "Sottish .oavaiers and Jacobite- Chieftains" very interesting. " We will leave," it is exclaimed at the . commeneement, " the Old patriotism of the Dalymples, and the calm wisdom of President Forbes to cast l':auk a glance On S worthies of le-:s prudence and more spirit, Montrose, Don - dee, and Lochiel.

This shroud Flora Macdonald kept by her from the days of . her heroic youth till she died, at the age of seventy. . She sleeps in the churchyard of Kilmure, her grave unmarked, but, as it is truly said here, her memory lives in 'the traditions of her country, and her name is hallowed by all who reverentie heroism. - " Hans Christian Andersen ; his Life and Writings," forms the sub ject of a very interesting article. The Danish poet; novelist, and traveller, is well worthy cf at. tention, as being one of those who has not attained his e m i nen c e by midden flights of fortuitous circum sLnce, or friendly assistance. He had to toil Upwards alone and unaided.' His most striking comrsi thin, the " linprovisaore," was composed in Italy. " I am a poet" was his exulting exclamation, as he stood on the brink of VeStivius, • and well does he prove the truth of his boast. It is said that his life is a " romance of reality." " Onward up the . bill" was the secret cry of his heart, and now great men and princes, yea, kings . and queens, greet him kindly and take him by the hand, and tell him how they admire his works and his heroic victory in the great-battle of life—and so the crosses -and stars of four orders of knighthood glitter pn his, breast, and lie is the friend and companion of the great and noble, and the cherished author of innumerable works in both hemispheres—he, the sort of the poor Odeushee shoemaker." " The War Budget" suggests some remarks of a dis paraging nature, which is only what might be ex pected from such a failure. " Recollecting," it is said, " the - able and brilliant men who have held the office, it is painful to consider how m incompetent , the psent Chancellor ..is. The only consolation' (the writer goes on to say) is in the fact of the people of England being dissatisfied with the affair, and, consequently, it is in the highest degree im probable that we shall ever again be called upon to review another budget of Sir Cornewall Lewis." "Ninette Pompon" is the name of a tale which is given in this nuint;er ; it describes French peasant • life in the era of the Revolutioo,• and is well told. The plot of the story turns on the old idea which is immortalised. •in the legend of Rola - nd„ wild) . WI at Roncesvalles, and which is ever and anon reappearing in fiction in all ages and countries. The lover is supposed. to die in battle, the object of his affections is informed, and hence mistakes and miseries arise. In the instance before us Ninette was to blame for the , imprudent step she took ; she affords an other-proof of the folly of concealment and subter fuge. On the other hand, Hubert Dessert is an example to hasty persons, who will prejudge and presuppose, and rush madly on, following the bent of their own fancies, instead of seeking information calmly and deliberately. "De Re Yoetica" con= talus some well-expressed thoughts, and some good ideas on the subject of which it treats - ; but one point is strange in the remarks made, where Words -. worth is placed above Shelley, and the latter's beautiful Ode to the Skylark declared inferior to the former's lines on the same subject, which, though certainly good, and possessed of merit, are immeasurably surpassed, both in fi re (if genius and beauty of language, by Shelley's composition. Some valuable advice it given to the Writers after the remarks have been made to the readers :—" Poetry is the expression of the want of something better than this world can give. God has given us no want which has not its proper end; therefore poetry is a proof of mail's immortality. Poetry, then, is an hi s t or i an a nd a prophet—the historian of a glorythat is passed, the prophet of a glory that shall be revealed. We may not have poetic power, we may not even have poetic taste, but we have the root of poetry in our souls." With tiie noble language, lofty as its ex alted subject, and in a spirit kindred to the great ness of the cause it advocates,' and appreciating the excellence of the ar t i t upholds, the writer wisely concludes for the present his reflections, which are • inspired by ion and adobes ii - ff 4 tit*. gliaious .w...-'''' .......- -.......--------"'".....-- vocation which has kept aliv tare the worship of the beautiful and the r evere 1 e of the subliinc. --. ge One (1 Colburn's New Monthly Magazine.-- ioteht e in man's fallen iti,t Two Habits of Young France" is a smart ,s._titieit which sums .up the roost remarkable pee llll . ll oo „c -of •a certain class of the French.
