THE SUN, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, JANUARY 10, 1861. BRITISH POSSESSIONS. LAW INTELLIGENCE.-(THIS DAY.) LIT.ERAT ÜBE. COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Hoiroyd.) British Artists from .Hogarth to lumen By Walter Thornbury, author of "Art and Nature," "Life in Spain," &c. 2 vols. Hurst and Blackett. This collection of Mr. Thornbury's delightful artistic sketches will be gladly welcomed by the public. Although we have outlived the era when it was considered good taste to depreciate the genius of our countrymen, we still know too little about their individual 'careers. The general reader may be aware that.Glainsborough and Wilson were great in landscape, that Law - cence was a famous portrait painter, and Barry coloured the walls of the new Society of Arts; but of the story of their lives, the fluctuations of fame and fortune, the capricious patronage, the professional jealousy which helped or hindered them, of these we know nothing. Mr. Thornbury, with his love and knowledge of Art, and his stores of antiquarian information, is espe cially qualified for the task of supplying this defi ciency, and he has arranged his materials with appropriate artistic effect. He takes us from the fresh Suffolk fields, where "our first English painter of English landscape" played truant from school to draw a cluster of dock-leaves, to the squalid attic in Tottenham-court-road, where an other landscape painter, poor Wilson, dragged out miserable years. From the luxurious and " rose-leaf world" abode of the courtly Sir Thomas he trans ports gas to the dingy house where miserly old Nollekens ends his days, raving if two candles are lit E instead of one. Beside the records of prosperous lives, widespread reputations, and youthful aspirations crowned with the laurels of success, he shows us the reverse of the pic ture—talent mistaking itself for genius, genius obstinately opposing itself to the spirit of its age ; respectable mediocrity, welcomed by courtiers and connoisseurs, while ability of the highest order struggles neglected in garrets. All these varying and often quoted scenes of the great melodrama does he give us, not without drawing sometimes a moral for the painter as well as for the critic. "In evitable misery," says our moralist, " must follow when genius despises common sense. If genius will sell shoes when people want hats, genius must starve—and deserves it too for being a sheer fool. If genius will paint monster frescoes when people have no walls for them, and no money to pay for them, genius must, nathless, go wear pepper-and salt at the Union." Yet Mr. Thornbury informs us that these biographical sketches are only to be regarded as the precursors of a more ambitious work, to be styled "A History of English Art from Hogarth, its founder, to Turner its perfecter," in which not alone the trials and triumphs of the individual painter will be described, but the tardy rise and gradual development of the National School of Art. But in waiting for these more elabo rate volumes, the reading public may gather much incidental information from these photo graphs of many and various lives and deaths, as well as from Mr. Thornbury's own critical com mentaries at the conclusion. As the best sample of the work we subjoin a few of his life-like sketches— IN RE STREITEJELD, MORTIMORE, AND C0..--THE GREAT LEATHER CASE. This case was resumed to-day to a still thin audience. The various legal gentlemen appeared for their several clients, and Mr. Bright well (manager of the London Discount Com pany) was the first witness called. He said that he had been induced to advance a person named Draper a sum of £5,000 upon the representations of one of the bankrupts. Mr. Laurence was then re-called, and his examination was proceeding when the report left. POLICE I.2VIELLIGENCE—(This Day), MARLBOROUGH-STREET. JEALOUSY AND ASSAULT.—Mr. Charles Cattle, 17, Norfolk-street, Middlesex Hospital, a canvasser, was charged with assaulting Mr. John Porter, merchant, 15, Nassau- street. Mr. Edward Lewis, of Great Marlborough-street, who appeared for the complainant, said the defendant was charged with a violent and unprovoked assault en the complainant, arising out of a feeling of jealousy for a lady the complainant was living with, and as the complainant had before been assaalted he (Mr. Lewis) must ask his worship to order the defendant to find sureties. Mr. Porter said he resided at 15, Nassau• street, with a lady, and knew the defendant, who had assaulted him before. He was at home the previous day about five o'clock, and seeing the defendant coming across the street, and knowing his violent conduct he locked the door of his apart ment. Shortly after he heard a loud knock at his door, but not opening it, and having seized upon a poker for his own defence, it was burst open by the defendant, who then rushed into the room. The defendant then seized the poker, burnt his hand, tore his coat, and struck him. He managed to escape, and gave defendant into custody. He believed the defendant had formed a kind of attachment for a female he (complainant) lived with, and which had aroused his jealousy. Defendant said he met the lady on the previous day, hav ing known her for years, and she asked him to go to her lodgings, as she wanted to see him, as did also Mr. Porter, to have some explanation; and he went there, and on the door being opened he saw the complainant with the poker or something shining in his hand. Ho believed the place belonged to the lady, and not to the complainant. Horsemore, C division, said on entering the place he found the defendant sitting by the fire with the poker in his hand. The lady was in court, and frequently interrupted the proceedings. Mr. Tyrwhitt said he should order the defendant to find one housekeeper in the sum of £5 to be surety for him. THAMES. EMBEZZLEMENT BY A COMMERCIAL TRAVELLER.— Henry Rushbrook, a man of respectable appearance and address, was brought before Mr. Yardley, charged with feloniously embezzling various sums of money, amounting in the aggregate to about £3O, he had received for and on account of his employer, Mr. Ward, a drysalter, at West Bromwich. Mr. Beard, solicitor, stated the case for the prosecution. The prisoner entered the service of Mr. Ward, as traveller, in August last, at a salary of three guineas per week, and his duty was to obtain orders for goods, but not to receive any moneys whatever. The prisoner, however, in spite of the agreement, had received cash in payment of goods from many of Mr. Ward's customers, and had appropriated the same to his own use. The prisoner had only been recently taken into custody, and the prosecutor was telegraphed for last night and had just arrived in London. He should not therefore be able to complete the case to-day, and after offering some evidence asked for a remand. Mr. Beard then put in some documentary evidence affecting the pri soner, and called Mr. Ward, who, in answer to questions by his solicitor, said he had not received Bs. 6d. of Mr. Partridge, of High street, Poplar ; £1 15s. of Mr. Headsworth, Victoria-dock road, Plaistow, Essex; £5 16s, of Mr. Messent, Bromley; and £5 of Mr. Johnson, Stratford. The prisoner had not accounted to him in any way for those sums. In answer to questions by Mr. Yardley, the prosecutor said the prisoner had received his salary of three guineas per week regularly through Mr. George Barton, of 44, Fore-street, Cripplegate, his town agent and manager. Mr. Barton said the prisoner had not paid to him any of the sums mentioned in Mr. Ward's evidence, and that the receipts for them now produced were in Rushbrook's handwriting. The witness then mentioned other sums whioh the prisoner had received at the West-end and had not ac counted for it. The prisoner said he had received the money named by Mr. Beard of three customers, Hinds worth, Messent, and Partridge, and had lost it. The pri soner also said if you do not mention it to Mr. Ward I will make it up. He had no idea of any deficiency until he waited on the customers. He had not yet waited on all the customers. Mr. Dobson, also in the employ of Mr. Ward, said the prisoner had recently received £5 of a customer named Johnson, which he has not accounted for. Mr. Yardley.—ls that one of the three sums which the prisoner said he had lost. Mr. Barton.—No, it is not, sir. Other cases were about to be gone into, but on Mr. Beard stating that the necessary witnesses to complete them were not in attendance, and had not yet been sum moned, the prisoner was remanded until to-morrow. listless done Paid. 0 , 100 all all all 100 ; Closing I Price. - 7 - 3 75 - 92 93 1/ 11 4/ sdi 6; 7 75 80 67 72 65 70 pr 11 1i d 1t / 0 2} lid 98 99 98 99 1.00 101 221 231 75 80 46 50 57 60 60 54 48 52 95 06 lid dl 2} lfd 10 1 f f 9 11 9 95 100 95 100 93 96 88 02 83 85 93 94 86 87 lf lid 5 7 5 7 974 984 2FI ltd —a 92 94 WAYS. 54 5f —I it lid t 1 1 11 12 3 234 2i 211 24 23i Of ? 74 71 19 206 38 396 71 86. 35 36 53 65 3i 21d 51 O 8 k Al 1 11 1i di 19}20 ' 21 24 LAWRENCE IN SUCCESS. " He, the fashionable painter, who was welcome in any society—who knew everybody and was seen everywhere —who had none of the dust and sordour of the struggling pioneer genius about him, but was to all the equable, coldly-warm, perfect gentleman, who could flirt or gossip with the best, was all this time, when money poured in, and every paper brayed out its foolish praise, not really happy or content. No, not even at Rome, when in the Vatican the gracious successor of St. Peter descended, from his throne, to go to his room, and put on the real Fisherman's ring ;—no, not when, after the peace, two emperors sat to him, and the Autocrat of Russia graciously condescended,' as the phrase goes, to shift his picture, and alter the easel pegs ;—no, not even when Metternich in vited him to go and see the Colosseum by moonlight. No ; he knew his weakness as well as the merest youngster who but yesterday cried ready to break his heart over the first picture returned from the Academy, with the fatal R chalked upon the back. He knew that though he could give sunshiny eyes, dewy with tears of joy and laughter— hair falling in golden cascades over shoulders that Venus might have envied ; that he could not build a senatorial head like Titian ; that he could not infuse into bis painted eyes the thought and wisdom that Raphael knew how to infuse. What was his ' Mr. Angerstein,' and his oracular Payne Knight,' who did not think much of the Elgin marbles, to Vandyck's ' Gevartius,' on which Rubens is thought to have painted, and which Vandyck is said to have kept in his paint box, like a precious amulet ? He knew the witchery of blushing flesh, of the glow of health, of sea-blue eyes, of vermillion lips, dewy as geranium leaves after rain ; but he felt that his art was somewhat of the meretricious and flimsy— that it wanted the solidity and thoughtfulness of the old masters—that, compared with Titian, that Homer of painting, he was a mere clever child, who drew pretty faces. "That dreadful upholstery picture of George IV. by Lawrence shows us how dangerous it is for a man of limited powers to ever attempt the grand historic air. There was nothing grand in the padded, worn out, fat old gentleman; but then, that is no reason the painter should have buried him alive with sofas, curtains, and console tables. "Yet, small as the ideal of Lawrence was, is not the whole world of art contained in the oval of the human face? Are not all phases of day and night to be looked for in the dark sea of the human eye, where rain and sunshine, and all transitions, from noon to twilight, flit and change ? Are not all the curves oftgeometry to be found in the changes of the lips ?—all the varieties and gradations of colour in •the rose-tints of the choek ? The alchemist called the human body ' the little world,' believing that it had its own sun and constellations, sea and air—might not the sa m e name be more appropriately given to the human face ? "Let us not, then, call the great portrait painter's ideal a mean one." BARRY IN OBSCURITY. " lie is up on his scaffold—Temper, his evil genius, up with him—thinking of the Greeks, and just beginning his six pictures of the History of Civilisation.' He means to be three years only at this noble, gratuitous work, but he will really be (if we poor men could read the future) six years, and they will go well-nigh to break his heart. You hear that jingle in his pocket, when ho plunges down at his paint-box for fresh burnt sienna ?—that is sixteen shillings —all the money the poor fellow has in the world. Dirty, patched coat, frowzy hair, buckless shoes. No gold-laced hat now, as when he met; Nollekens in Rome, or stopped to see the wretched monks daub over, and finally destroy, Leonardo's ' Last Supper.' He has, to tell the truth, a good deal of the grime and cobwed of that miserable lodging of his in Castle-street about him. He never smiles, he is reckless, dogged, and at bay ; he works with clenched teeth —you would think he hated the coloured creatures he is creat ing ; he is dreadfully in earnest, and snaps and bites at every one ; he hates courtly Reynolds, and despises portrait painting; he snubs oven Burke, his kind, early patron, because his pride is hurt by feeling the weight of the obli gation. He came here at daylight from his dreary soli tude of broken windows and ventilating roof to this lofty room, where there is pure light and air. He has been up half the night in his old carpenter's shop, arranging his old sketches and dusty printing-presses, amid cobwebs thick as flannel, engraving at the bead of Lord Chatham, or Job,!,or King Lear, or copying the birth of Venus, or some draw ing for Lord Aldborougb, or one of the customers that Nollekens gets him. It is these things give him bread and cheese, and literally keep the pot a-boiling.' He is the Quixote of high art (so called because it is always hung high at the Academy) ; there was no grave-gulf so deep but this Irish Curtius was ready to leap into it." " Sometimes, indeed, when our poor genius thinks of his sordid lodgings, with its cobweb hangings, dirt, and sordour—its rusty grate, its rusty grate, its inch deep of dust—he fancies all the world against him, and demons of Protestantism and dilletante-ism grinning from every panel. It was in such a mood—enraged with Reynolds and the face painters, and Gainsborough and the land scape painters, and everything and everybody—he resolved to paint this room, as a proof and an example—he, with sixteen shillings in his pocket—to the fools and to the sordid 1" " Indeed, this soured, injudicious man is a strange being, has lived a strange life, and will die a strange death. He lives alone, in that wretched den in Castle-street, where Burke supped with him, and where Southey visited him ; wrapped in a green baise coat, daubed with dirt and paint, there, surrounded by sketches, and his Pandora ever star ing at him, he sits swearing at ' the man in Leicester fields,' looking like the miser Elwes. He wears a ragged scarecrow wig, with a fringe of his own stiff grey hair peer ing from under it. His house is never cleaned ; he has no servants, this London Timon ; no sheet to sleep on, no cur tain to his bed, but a nailed-up blanket. He will go on till he is taken ill, and lies without food, groaning alone ; till his misanthropic heart softens, and he has to crawl out, wrapped up in a blanket, and lay himself down, with a paper in his hand, asking the next passer-by to put him in a chair, and have him carried to Mr. Carlisle, the doctor's, in Soho-square. And after that fright he will get more rational, and leave off his scarecrow wig, and sometimes creep into society; but still he will never leave his den till he be seized with fever at his St. Martin's-lane eating house, and cordials are given him, and he be removed to kind Mr. Bonomi's, because the warring boys had plugged the keyhole of his door with dirt and stones, and the den cannot be opened ; and then, poor angry enthusiast, he will die in the clean, soothing bed quietly; and he will lie in state, in this very John-street room, the six pictures looking dawn on him thoughtfully—Dr. Burney, the Sea Nymphs, Orpheus, and Dr. Johnson, and Drake, and Cap tain Cook, and all. The Academy hated him, and shame fully stayed away from his funeral. George 111., always obtuse and stubborn, made no sign. The king of one idea liked smooth pictures, and men who could speak smooth things : Barry was neither smooth with tongue nor brush." One of the most mournful of the lives here chronicled is that of Procter, sculptor and painter, whose youth was full of promise, am bition, and success, who won the Academy's gold medal, and was considered one of the foremost students of his time, and who, nevertheless, died after years of penury and neglect, just as brighter days were dawning for the forgotten and friendless artist. The following passage tells a painful tale of bitter disappointment and mortified ambition : TILE MAN OF PROMISE. " Perhaps those iinlucky sham Druids led Proctor into trouble ; for ten years a crape veil of mist and premature oblivicn shuts him from our sight—all we know is, that among other low, material vexations, such as milk scores and angry, `nagging' landladies, he had to dig a hole in the floor of his room, so as to enable it to contain his enormous model of Diomedes thrown to his Horses. that ho had fed on Human Flesh.' It was too big for his house—and it proved too big for the houses of the cognoscenti, for ne one bought it; and Procter, unable to pay for hire of a ware house, broke it to pieces with his own hand, his heart aching at each blow. " 0 ye who have dream ed for y e ars over some thought, which with sweat of brain ye have, at last, transformed to book, or statue, or picture, suddenly to see it snipped to pieces by critics' poisoned scissors, or left unheeded by the crowd who pugegcu tv 000 tllO lgrit juggler biirS feathers on his nose, imagine, as no others can, the agony of this destruction 1 " Ten years have passed since the shining gold medal was placed in the swarthy brown hand of Procter ; and that useful body, the Royal Academy, have left their man of promise to starve in obscurity—to break up the work of his lone midnights in the paroxysm of despair." _ _ Meanwhile the period arrives when a student is to be sent to Rome by the Academy. Remembering the promising winner of the gold medal, they re solve to send Procter, and commission Mr. West to search him out from the dingy and hopeless locali ties, where the victims of disappointed ambition, and inexorable poverty crouch from the sight of the gayer and happier world. The rest of the story we leave our author to tell in his own words : "At the time that Mr. West, with kind but yet tardy zeal, is searching for the entombed genius, singularly enough, Fortune, also rather tardy, has sent another friend, Mr. Riding, a painter and picture-dealer, formerly an intimate friend of Procter's, is also looking for him, and finds him. The clouds break for Procter; the blue shows. Riding observes his friend's disturbed and restless manner ; he sees that he is entangled in a Nessus net of debts, and that his one wish is to become free. Riding put forth all his strength to help him. He goes privately to a man who holds a note against Procter for money lent. It is a weapon that may be at any moment used against the man of promise. H e go e s and represents his poor friend's dis tress. He appeals to the lender, and touches his heart. He so wins him over that the note is thrown on the fire, and flies a red tinder up the chimney, the mischievous devil that lurked in it being exorcised by that process. It is late at night when the devil is dismissed ; and early next morn ing Riding will rise and tell Procter. Happy at his suc cess, Riding goes home to sleep lightly, as good men can do. " In the meantime, Mr. West has dug up Procter, and been to his lodgings in Maiden -lane. llefindshim cower ing over a heap of clay, in the obscure lodging, in a deplor ably reduced state—weak, helpless, and desponding. The well-dressed, comfortable man looks at him with eyes of pity, relieves him, invites him to dinner, offers him letters of introduction to Roman friends, and determines to send him as tutor to his own (West's) son to Rome, He leaves him, brushing his cocked hat, and blandly expressing hi s regret at Procter's genius having been so long neglected. He shakes him by the hand, and wishes him 'good night.' " The next morning dawns hopeful and bright, and with it, to the humble door opposite the Cider Cellar in Maiden lane comes Riding. He pushes back the dirty, careless drudge, who knows nothing about Mr. Procter—he is up stairs in a moment ; he thrusts open the bed-room door— no answer ; he calls anxiously ; he shouts his good tid ings—no response; he runs to the bed, draws down the tawdry, tucked-in curtains, pulls back the sheet—there is the great black fell of hair on the pillow, but the face pale, and the jaw sunk. The man of promise has died before he became a man of performance." At the conclusion of the first volume we have a series of sketches in dramatic form not strictly be longing to the work. They are styled" Last Hours of the Painters," and are not restricted to the death beds of our insular celebrities. Brauwer, the Edgar Poe of another Art, is there, dying in the Antwerp hospital ; Fra Angelico, the saintly, closing his blameless life in the chapel of the Vati can ; Beaujean, the follower of Watteau, rashly ending his own existence in the stormy days of the Reign of Terror ; and the fervid young Italian, whose graceful pencil loved to perpetuate the evanescent glory of the flowers, perishing, also self-slain, in angry impatience of his fate. At the end of the work we have several chapters of criti cism on the various Schools of Art—Grecian, Moorish, Gothic. A knowledge of the outward forms of art, as well as an appreciation of its subtle inner spirit is apparent, however much the reader may be disposed to differ from occasional theories. In one page, speaking of the new school of painting which has lately become so famous, the writer expresses a truth that the votaries of every Art would do well to bear in mind, if they would touch the hearts and sway the thoughts of their fellow-men. " They will learn," he says, " when they once get out of the hot air of clique flattery, that the great public have no sym pathy now for knights in gilded tinsel, in mystic ladies of Shalotte, in nuns digging graves, or in melancholy princesses sitting at twilight windows with golden cushions on their laps ; they will find that all that antiquarian frippery suits only the drawing-room and student race, not the wide corduroy world. The large world want the old heart-ache painted, mothers parting from children, death-beds, lovers joining hands, and all the old humours and passions of the abstract man. A great picture should translate into every language, and require no book comment to eke out its meaning." In his chapter on the English caricaturists he pays a genial and well-merited tribute to him whom he styles in affectionate admiration—King Cruikshank —certainly a worthier claimant of the regal dignity than many another King George. But what does Mr. Thornbury mean by his allusion to the author of " The Tower of London ?" " Peace to his manes," he says, "he is forgotten, so after a fitful fever he sleeps well." Whether this is meant in the usual acceptation of the term, or in a literary sense it is equally untrue, and the mis take incomprehensible. But notwithstanding this slip of the pen the author has evidently bestowed far more care on these volumes than on most of his later works. He often, it is true, entangles himself and the reader in interminable sentences, and in trying to be too smart and effective in his manner, is sometimes only stilted and strained. But whatever its occasional deficiencies, the work is graphic in design and brilliant in style, and can scarcely fail to find favour with the lovers of British literature as well as of British art. Etudies from Life. One vol. By the Author of " John Halifax," &c. Hurst and Blackett. This is a collection of different essays and articles, by the gifted authoress of so many delightful works. They are for the most part written with the greatest skill and care, and cannot but prove attractive to the general reader. There is a good deal of variety in the style of these papers, and therefore they can suit different tastes. An amus ing sketch is that of " Going out to Play." It is always interesing to dwell upon the sports and pastimes of childhood. This sketch informs the reader of the desire that dwelt in the minds of a set of children to go out and play by moonlight. In order to accomplish this, they went to bed in their clothes, but were unhappily prevented from accomplishing their design. "Alas ! we were igno miniously discovered, and made to undress and go to bed properly, like good children ; and though, since then, we have, each and all of us, kept many a night-watch, sleeping roofless under foreign stars, or seeing the English dawn break mourn fully from sick-room windows, never, never have we been among the number of those fortunate little boys and girls, who came out to play when the moon did shine as bright as day." " Silence for a Generation" contains some striking truths on the folly of overwriting, and the evil effects that ensue therefrom. It begins by quoting a sentence of Dr. Johnson's :—" Sir," said he, "the one thing wanted in the world is silence. I wish all the talkers had their tongues cut out, and all the writers had their pens, ink, and paper, tools and manuscripts, thrown into the Thames, and there were silence for a generation." It would be well for themselves and for others if the authors of the present day, who will write to a degree painful to their own feelings and prejudicial to their fame would deeply ponder on these words of advice. " Providence allows to every intellect only a certain amount of develop ment, limited by certain laws, spiritual and physical, known or unknown, yet not one which can be broken with impunity. The brain is like a rich quarry, you may work it out in a year, and you may, with care and diligence, make it last a lifetime ; but you cannot get out of it more than is in it ; and work as you will you must get to the end of it some day. So does our author, but still he writes on." Further on, there is an eloquent passage de scriptive of the rare gifts of the author's genius, and the supremacy he holds over the feelings and passions of his fellowmen, " whether the sound be small or loud, clear or harsh, he is the living voice of the world. Then in God's name let him dare not ever to open his mouth unless he has something to say." " Want something to Read," furnishes hints as to the propriety of children having a variety of entertaining books to instruct them in the path of usefulness, and to afford them that self taught information which the learning by rote of schools and the precepts of teachers can never im part. The writer gives an amusing account of the early days at home, and tells of their dawn of literature. In that time children's books were not as they are now, and in rece nt da y s some childish sketches have been found coarsely printelan paper i a a lf covers with " cuts" instead of "p lates. k " tt dinary cuts some of themortrse:vviaaoc table with the ugliest of but' it was i ngh bless us, of that s y or o t u . feared, might "fright® n"„ we were never frightened al. anything We had no nursemaid to telius orrible tales of B og i e " or the " Black Alan, „ —a h ll we ever heard or learned for the early years of our lives came direct from the fountain-head, the fountain of all tendernes s, and s . afety t and loving kindness, whose incessant g u . ardianship made our poverty more blessed than if we had been heirs to — "All the wealth that fills the breeze' When Coromandel's skips return from Indian seas." "Literary Ghouls" is another suggestive a r t icle which will repay perusal. It relates to a high and holy theme, and calls attention to a solemn strain of thought. Some just strictures are passed on the publicity that has of late been given to the private doings of ceiebrities. " Suppose," it says, " that we had been aware that upon us living a greedy biographer would seize, rake up a ll our doings,un doings, and misdoings in various incorrect forms, in which we have no p o wer t o set right, every careless and foolish word we said, with an apparent ! motive for saying it, we should have doubted our ne%regt and dearest, end retired in disgust from the Impertinent world, to leave our bones mouldering unmolested in some African desert or American cave ; or we should have carefully arranged our whole life with a view to posthumous publication. ' We should never have made a remark without considering how it would look in Smithiana." Further on it is truly and powerfully urged how and in what manner the record of the lives of earth's immortal ones should be treated; how those on whom falls the trust of biographer should act so as to make manifest all that should be known, and be silent on what need not be spoken of. "Yet understand us; we ghosts do not wish to lay an embargo on all biographers, thereby annibiliating the natural wish of the human heart to be remembered after death, and causing the worth and beauty of good men's histories to be indeed " interred with their bones.' Not so—every thing great and noble, virtuous, and heroic in any author's life—in the life of any man or woman—by all means after a decent time has elapsed let it be faithfully related for the comfort, instruction, and example of later generations. The world has a right to bear and exact such chronicles of its gene rations gone by. But let us be chronicled not as authors, because we have written a book or so worth reading, but because we have lived a life worth remembering ; the story of which will h ave a beneficial influence on lives yet to come. If any incense poured upon, or:sweet odours arising from our mortal dust, can reach and delight us in our immortality it must be thus to know that neither our doings nor our sufferings have been in vain, and for all concerning us that was purely personal in noways differing from the rest of our species, which can neither " point a moral" nor "adorn a tale," but only minister to an idle and spurient curiosity, in charity's name, let it be buried with us. The last essay is on the subject of " Lost," and it is an appropriate conclusion to a work of this sort. It states that "Itis a grave reflection what a number of people there must be in the world who are not figuratively or poetically but literally lost,' who by some means or other, accident, inten tion, carelessness, misfortune, or crime, have step ped out of the home circle, or the wider round of friendship and acquaintanceship, and never reap peared more; whose place has gradually been filled up, whose very memory has almost been forgotten, and against whose name in the family Bible stands neither the brief momentous annotation " married," nor the still briefer and often much safer and happier inscription, Died'— nothing save the ominous pathetic blank, which only the unveiled secrets of the last day will ever fill up." The fondest and best of mothers may live to miss from her Christmas table some one child whom she knows, and knows that all her other children know, is more welcome in absence than in presence, whom to have laid sinless in a baby's coffin and buried years ago would have been as nothing—nothing. Yet all these things must be, and we must bear them, that in the mysterious working of evil with good we may come out purified as with fire. The comfort is that in its total account of gains and losses, every honest and tender soul will find out sooner or later that the irreme diable catalogue of the latter is, we repeat, far lighter than it first seems. For, who are the lost ? Not the dead, who " rest from their labours," and with whom to die is often to be for ever beloved. Not the far away, who, keeping and kept in fond remembrance, are often nearer than those who sit at hearth and board beside us, not even the temporarily estranged, for faith and piitience will often bring them back again and teach us— " How like a new gift is old love restored ; How seems it richer though the very same." Never need those fear to be either lost or losers who in the words of our English Prayer-book, can pray, and pray together, that " amidst all the chances and changes of this mortal life our hearts may surely there be fixed where true joys are to be found." When, whatever may be the tongue of men or of angels, " that we shall have learned to speak with then, we may be quite sure that there shall be in it no such word as- lost." There is much to attract notice in this interesting little volume, and it can be truly and earnestly recom mended to those who at all care to dwell on the thoughtful and refined subjects of literature. Small and brief as some of these sketches appear, they are not really so, for they contain the germs of deep feeling, and reveal the depths of truth, while they exemplify the lessons of wisdom that lead through Nature up to Nature's God. " Studies from Life" is a correct title to this work, and the studies are pleasing as well as profitable, ornamen tal in execution while useful in design; and while they tell of the most important things here, they are not unmindful of these which appertain to the life that is to come. Many readers will rejoice to renew their acquaintance with one who has given to our literature some of the most successful novels of the day as regards their peculiar style, and this volume is a welcome gift at Christmas to her numerous admirers.

He has left a wife and family. The late King of Prussia seems to have been, in many respects, a counterpart—though a refined one—of our own James I. He had the same exalted notions of the kingly power,---the same belief in the kingcraft as the first of our Stuart sovereigns. True, that in place of Scotch dogmatism and pragmatic self-conceit of the first James, the chief characteristic of his mind was a kind of metaphy sical dreaminess. This only amounts to saying that he was a German, in place of being a Scotch pedant. No doubt, after all due allowance has been made for the different epochs of history during which the two sovereigns lived, the Ger man was a man of more refined and cultivated intellect than the Scotchman, and of a far purer moral life ; but in the essentials of character they were the same. Had the Ger man been Rector of the University at Bonn or Heidelberg, and the Scotchman Provost of Aberdeen, the probability is that each would have acquitted himself respectably enough of his duty in life ; but, as kings, they were decided failures. .—Ono ci wok, Railways.

CORONERS' SALARTES.—At the Devon Quarter Session held last week a committee of magistrates, ap pointed for the purpose, recommended that salaries, on the basis of five years' average of fees, travelling expenses, and allowances, in accordance with the recent Act, with 10 per cent. in addition, on account of the anticipated increase in the number of inquests, be paid to the county coroners. Several of the coroners attended and protested against the small amount of remuneration which this would give them. They complained that they had been receiving but 9d. per mile for travelling expenses, whereas they could not travel for less than ls. per mile, and that the fees for holding inquests when they were adjourned were not sufficient in such large districts as they had allotted to them. One of the coroners, Mr. Cox, said the salary proposed to be paid to him would only be at the rate of ss. Bd. per day, and that ho should be reluctantly c o mp elled to appeal to the Secretary of State. Ultimately the sub j ect waS reirlid 1 back to the committee for recousideration, Share 100 stk 17i 20 stock 100 100 20 stock stock 100 100 100 100 100 stock 204 20i 100 100 100 100 stock stock stock stock stock eto3k !NIA_ 100 100 100 100 11Ils I
