NATIONAL SEAKSPERE COMMITTEE. TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. Sllt,—The undersigned, feeling it incumbent upon them to withdraw from the National Shakspere Committee, are desirous of stating their reasons for doing so. Their strong anxiety that a national tribute to our greatest poet should be worthy of its object, and their equally strong conviction that those who have assumed the direction of the movement do not comprehend, and therefore will not satisfy the expectations of the nation, have compelled them to take the unpleasant step of separating themselves from gentle men with whom they have endeavoured to co-operate. Without dwelling upon the irregular and unbusiness-lihe character of the proceedings of the executive body, the un dersigned complained that more than half a year has been wasted in procuring a list of names which would have been given in without solicitation, had a practical and worthy scheme been laid before the public. It was not until December last that the question of the site of the proposed memorial was referred to a sub-com mittee for consideration, and the all• important question of the nature of the memorial was not taken up until the pre. sent month. An additional number of mechanics and labourers have been removed from the other vessels in progress et Chatham dockyar in order to be employed in preparirg the ironwork fur Mr. Reed's new frigate.Bellerophon, which will be com menced in the dock in which She is intended to be con structed as soon as the new iron caisson has been fitted in its place at the entrance to the second dock. In the factory adjoining the dock the foundations are being prepared by Messrs. Food and Sons for the erection of more powerful machinery than any at present in use in the dockyard for bending, pltining, polishing, slotting, and otherwise preparing till thick ?Ton plates with which it is intended to encase tie sides of the Bel lerophon. In consequence of the numeotts vessels now ia hand at Chatham dockyard and the anxoty evinced by the Admiralty for the completion of the •icon and iron-clad vessels actually commenced, it is probabe that a consider able number of hands will shortly be reqfired to be entered, the existing number of workmen being farbelow that neces sary to be employed to complete the now iron-clads ordered by the Admiralty within the period assig,ted fig their con struction. At this moment—within little more than three months from the 23d of April—the committee is as ignorant as the public where the memorial is to be placed, and what it is to be. A further trial of the coffer-dam invented by Captain R.N., is to take place on board her Mljosty's ship Recruit to-morrow morning, when that vessel takes a trip to the Nore to try het speed, &e., utder the superin tendence of the officers of the reserve at Smerness. That a monument worthy of Shakspere, and to be reared by the united energies of the three kingdoms and the 50 colonies, can bo devised, discussed, and accepted by the country within a few weeks, is an idea too absurd to be en • tertained by a nation of practical men who hold Shakspere in befitting reverence. Had the executive a due appreciation o f their task, it might have been possible to arrange some pleasant celebra tion for the 23d of April, while taking time to consider the question of memorial with the care it demands; but the executive, having wasted so much time, are now endeavour ing to hurry matters, and in order to do so have obtained leave to take a step which must deprive the memorial of a national character. The new naval uniforms are, we unders And, deposted at the Admiralty, Whitehall ; for the inspection of those sons interested. The following appointments and promoions were made yesterday at the Admiralty :—Lieut: toe 'Hon. - Harry A'Court to the Prince Consort, for gunnery duties--Lieut. Augustus Jacob to the Hector, for gunnery duties—Sub.- Lieut. Caosar H. Hawkins to the .Prince Consort—Alien C. Seeley nominated to a naval eadetshir—Hcibert Birch, engineer, to the Euryalus, as supernumerary—William Collier, engineer, to the Blenheim—William 11. Larson, engineer, to the Shamrock—Amos Pritchard, James But chart, and John Galbraith., first-class assist. engineers, to the Euryalus, as supernumeraries—George Whaling, first class assist. engineer, to the Colossus—F. N. Thornton, first-class assiet. engineer to the Edinburgh—Robert.Spiers, first-class assist. engineer to the Asia for the Tender — James Torkington, Henry Caller, Henry Brown, George Alexander, George Hancock (b),. M'Neill, David Crichton (a), and J. 0. Wilson, secoud-class assist. engi neers, to the Euryalus as supernumeraries; Richard GrLen, second-class assist, engineer to the Russell—Willigm John ston, second-class assist. engineer, to the Cornwallis — Robert Winfield, second-class assist, engineer, to the Dauntless—George Park, second-class assist, engineer, to the Majestic—and Edward Chambers, second-class assist. engineer, to the Hogue. The general committee, a'ter showing its estimate of its executive by rejecting a draught report prepared and im properly put into circulation by that body as the report of the committee, followed up what was in effect a vote of censure, by appointing a sub-committee to prepare another document to be issued to the public. This sub-committee unanimously decided that it would be premature to address the public until the site and memorial committees should have reported. It was agreed that it would be absurd to make such an appeal in the absence of a definite object. On Monday last this report was presented to a meeting of the general committee, and was approved by it. The general committee, attar it had thus decided that it was in no condition to address the nation, having no infor mation to communicate, was induced to stultify that deci sion by voting that the public should be appealed to, and moreover that it should be asked for a definite sum. It had occurred to somebody that the memorial ought to cost £30,000, and that this notion should be presented to the nation, which, however, was to be at liberty to give more if it pleased, and was to be assured that any surplus should be laid out philanthropically. This final blunder, the conclusion of a series, appears to the undersigned to be fatal. They are therefore compelled to withdraw from co-operation in a scheme which, as at present managed, must end in discreditable failure, and draw down universal contempt upon English professions of reverence for ShalispPre. Tom TAYLOR. THOMAS WILIER. THEODORE MARTIN. 11011ERT BELL. SHIRLEY BROOR,S. C. L. GRUNEISEN. J. S. BREWER. H.0.1N FIiISWELL, T. DUITUS HARDY. Her Majesty's Paddle Yacht Alberta. This now yacht, of 391 tons and 161-horse power of en gines, recently launched from Pembroke dockyard, and now fitting at Portsmouth for her Majesty's private service, was tried a second time under steam at Portsmouth yesterday and on this occasion under the personal supervi,ion of Rear Admi: al It. S. Robinson, Controller of the Navy, who was accompanied by Rear-Admiral George Elliot, the energetic superintendent of Portsmouth dockyard. Captain H. Broadhead, commanding the Steam Reserve of the port and her Majesty's ship Asia, had the command of the yacht, the detailed working of the trial being carried out by Messrs. Murray and Ward, of the dockyard steam fac tory, and Mr. Murdoch, inspector of machinery afloat. Mr. Cradock, master shipbuilder of the yard, and part of his staff were also on board. The conditions of yesterday's trial were very different to those attending her trial on Thursday last, and as reported in The S un of the following day. On that occasion she drew ift lin of water aft, and 6ft 10in forward, being thus 3in by the stern. Yesterday she was trimmed at an equal draught forward and aft, or " on an even keel," to use a technical phrase, and this at a draught at starting of 6ft 161 in. This, as will be seen, gave the ship a less average c'raught of water and conse quently considerably less displacement yesterday than on Thursday, and had therefore an important bearing in rela tion to the ship's speed and her behaviour under steam, and especially so at full power. This alteration in the vessel's draught was attained by taking all her movable weights that could be possibly spared out of her--such as her anchors and chains, boots' davits (the latter massive enough for a frigate), &c., and starting her with only 14 tons of coal in her bunkers, in lieu of 25 tons as on Thursday, and only partially replacing those removed weight() by nine tons of iron ballast on the upper deck, which served as trimming ballast during the trial. Shortly after noon, the Controller having arrived on board, the Alberta turned ahead and left Portsmouth har bour for the measured mile in Stokes Bay, gradually in creasing the revolutions of her engines until reaching the maximum number on Thursday--49—when she was placed on the mile, and a pair of runs taken with full-boiler power with the following results : Time. Speed. Revolutions m. s. Knots. of Engines. First run.... 3 .5S 15.126 49 Second run.. 3 44 16.071 49 Steam, 271 b; vacuum, 26k. The mean of the two runs gave the ship a speed of 15.598 knots against 15161 knots obtained with full-boiler power on Thursday's trial. These two runs were deemed sufficient with full-power, and the ship was then run off the mile ground and through Spithead, to give time for blowing the water out of the two after boilers, and trying her next over the mile with her two forward boilers, or half-boiler power. In trying the yacht with half-boiler power on Thursday it was done in the ordinary manner—simply by shutting off one-half the boilers. By, however, getting rid of the water altogether from the two boilers cut off yesterday the yacht got rid of so much weight, and the result of this measure was that on the required amount of ballast haying been shifted from forward to aft to still keep the vessel on an even keel the ship's draught of water was reduced from 6ft 101 in to 6ft Bin. Under these very advantageous condi tions a pair of runs were taken over the mile with those re sults : Time. Speed. Revolutions in. s. Knots, of Engines. First run.... 4 22 13140 41} Second run.. 4 0 15000 41 Ship's mean speed of the two runs, 14.307 knots, against 14.244 knots on Thursday. The differen ce i n the gain in speed between the full and half power runs is a sufficient proof that the vessel is overweighted , or p erhaps, speakin g with a morethat of the wat engines er ae andnseg consequent hull t nd are out of proportion to each Jthe r. The difference speed in the runs obtained yesterday , and those of Thursday is due solely to vessel'se resou Alberta se erfect temp es t o f a sea when were tinder correct th e decreased definition, draught hull displacement. This la tter circumstance, to g ether with the fact that yesterday the y acht was sailed on a n even r d reduced ed full-power size, car rieshey were keel, instead of three inches b y the stern as On Th ursday, also doubtless had considerable effect in reducin g t he size of the rolling waves of broken water which curl in under the vessel's quarters an d rise u p on the bluff Of th e b ows. Yes terday, although , as we have said, these u n pl easant accom paniments th e water clear of her is, comparatively sp ea ki ng , smoo th as a mill-pond. Yesterday's trial gave no r eason f or mate rially altering the opinion expressed relativ e t o th e f orm o f t h e Alberta's hull in the rep or t o f th e tr i a l wh i ch appeared in Vic Sun of Fi iday list. It may be considered possible with o t prevented, her a her course the e a r perfect to explain existing defects to a certain extent by referring to the restrictions laid upon the designers relative to her length and draught of water, but this would not meet the entire case, nor, indeed, should explanations at all be needed to rend er p er f ec t i n the present d ay a yac ht spe cially designed and constructed fur the service of the Queen. It is very probable that the visit of the Controller to the yacht yesterday will cause sonic alterations in seve ral portions of her fittings, which are almost as unartistic in their character as is the hull_ The machinery of the yacht during the trial was in charge of Mr. Matthews, one of the partners in the firm of Penn THE SUN, LONDON, WEDINESDAY EVENING, JANUARY 20, 1864.

The increase of mortality announced in the previous return was fully maintained last week, and the effect of the late low temperature has now become perceptible to its full extent in the register of deaths. In the week that ended Saturday, 9th of January, the deaths registeredwere 1,798 ; in the week ending 16th January, they were 2,427. The average number in the 10 corresponding weeks of the years 1854-63 was 1,409, which, if raised in proportion to increase of population, becomes 1,550. Hence, the deaths of last week exceeded the estimated amount by 877. These per sons were killed almost suddenly by the cold wave of the atmosphere. In comparing the present results with those of the pre vious week, a great increase is apparent in diseases of the respiratory organs. Fatal cases of pneumonia rose from 91 to 156 ; of phthisis (or consumption), from 194 to 235 ; of bronchitis, from 326 to 543. Of the 2,427 persons who died, 918 were under 20 years of age, 800 were 20 and under 60 years, and 809 were GO years and upwards. Taking the numbers living at the re spective ages into account, it appears that, while persons at all ages have suffered, the severity of the weather has been particularly fatal to persons in advanced life. Well heated apartments and warm clothing are required at this season by the aged, who find it difficult to support life when the temperature falls below the freezing point. Three hundred and ninety-nine deaths occurred last week from zymotic diseases, including 90 from scarlatina, 78 from typhus, 73 from whooping cough, 32 from measles, and 18 from smallpox. A tanner, aged 60 years, was found dead on the 2d of January from intemperance, cold, and expo sure ; he lived in a room without furniture, at 1, Drum mond-road, Bermondsey. A shoemaker, aged 60 years, died in a cab on the 6th of January from exhaustion from exposure to cold. A bootcloser, aged 25 years, died at 2, Queen• street, Southwark, from spasm of the heart. accle rated by want of nourishment and by cold. Twelve nona genarians died during the week, of whom the oldest was a widow, who attained the age of 97 years. Last week the births of 1,026 boys and 993 girls, in all 2,019 children, were registered in London. In the 10 car•- responding weeks of the years 1854-63 the average numbers (corrected) was 1,985. At the Royal Observatory, Greenwich, the mean height of the barometer in the week was 30'054 in. The barome trical reading increased from 29.80 at the beginning of the week to 30'18 in. on Wednesday. The mean temperature of the air in the weak was 36.8 deg., which is 1.2 deg. above the average of the same week in 43 years (as determined by Mr. Glaisher). The highest day temperature was 46.7 deg. on Monday. The lowest night temperature was 29'9 deg. on Friday. The entire range of temperature in the week was therefore 16.8. The mean temperature of the water of the Thames was 36'2 deg. The difference between the mean dew-point temperature and air temperature was 3 . 6 deg. The mean degree of humidity of the air was 88, complete saturation being represented by 100. The general three tion of the wind was south-east. A NEW STYLE OF HOOP SKIRT was exhibited at the Indiana State fair. Leaden weights are attached to the bottom hoop to keep the thing down on windy days. SPOILS FROM THE SOUTH.—Numerous works of art of great interest and value which have not paid duty at the Custom-house or been known to belong to any of our local connexions are constantly turning up at our picture sales, Others are to be found in the hands of the re gular picture dealers, or are offered to collectors by private persons. When questions are put as to their ownership, there is generally some hesitation about answering them. Now, there is no difficulty in arriving at a conclusion as to the reason for this mystery. It is well known to those who have visited the South that in New Orleans and its neigh bourhood there were few families of any consideration that had not collections of paintings and statuary, picked up during their trips to Europe. Many of these acquisitions are to be seen among the works that have found their way into our auction- rooms. They are the opidza voila, not of the brave conquerors of rebel soil, but of the vultures—for the most part Massachusetts Yankees—who follow in the traits of our armies. These fellows pilfer everything they can lay their hands upon, and works of art are especial objects of their covetness, from the large price which they bring in New York. We have heard of ono man—not a New Eng lander, however—who went to New Orleans almost without a shirt to his back, and who since his return has been en abled to purchase a handsome house up town with the pro ceeds of his picture stealing. We would advise purchasers to be cautious about buying any of the wa,rks thus offered for sale. Where mystery is maintained about the owner's name they may rest assured that the property has not been honestly come by.—New York Herald. SHAKESPEAREAN MONUME N TS, (From the Times.) Under this heading we propose to make a few remarks on two distinct though allied subjects —on the monuments to Shakespeare which various persons are proposing to build in this the 300th year since he was born, and on what equally characteriFes the year, certain mostremarkable edi tions" making us marble" with asto nishment, Milton has described as the poet's bast monu ment, of those works which, it is impossible to think of any monument to Shake speare without at the same time turning by way of contrast to the monument which Shakespeare has himself built—a memorial to all generations —s e t up not in any one place, but found in every country throughout the world and known to almost every tongue. Especially do we revert to the latter kind of memorial when we call to mind what our public monuments generally are., Very few are the monu ments of stone in which it is posfible to excite the public enthusiasm. We have all in turn been pestered to join committees to build monuments. Most men that we know would gladly join a committee to put down monuments and to destroy the majority of our graven and our molten images. A society for the suppression of monuments, or at least for a thorough weeding and hoeing of them, would by no means be the least valuable of public institutions. I. It is taken for granted that in this 300th year shack he was born something must be done in honour of Shakespeare. But why ? And what is the mystical value of 300 ? These centenaries are an abomination in the eyes of most sen sible men. We had first the Handel Centenary, and that was so successful because of the musical display which it was possible to produce at the Crystal Palace that it seems to have set people crazy. We had then in quick succession a glorification of Burns, the tercentenary of the Scottish Reformation, the bicentenary of English Nonconformity, and now we are asked to celebrate the tercentenary of Shakespeare's birth. We have little sym pathy with these displays. They do not become us; they are remarkable for froth and emptiness; they generally lead to a mighty gush of spurious sentiment and screeching oratory; and they serve but the purposes of the smallest parasites and busybodies, who from a study of the working of committees have discovered that they are a grand nridern invention, like the solar microscope, for magnifying ani malcules. Animalcules get up a great committee by certain well understood arts, and forthwith they look as big as the committee with all its big names. The little creatures are not without sentiment, and they base their committees on a superfine sentiment, which in the case of the centenaries is called hero worship, though in reality it is little better than a vain superstition. Now, hating these centenary displays very heartily, we allow that if an exception is to be made in favour of any, it might be in favour of one that does honour to Shakespeare, the greatest of all Englishmen. He is wor shipped among us even to idolatry, and we can look with kindlintss on almost any decent absurdity by which our people propose to do homage to his name. Bat then, if any such extravagance is to gain our sympathy, it is essential that it should be decent, and that there should be an ap• pearance of unanimity in it. We shrink from the selfish intrigues of petty cabals and from the inglorious squabbles of a committee which, proposing to direct the national taste in certain important matters, begins its work by several shocking exhibitions of bad taste. In honour of Shakespeare there are two committees at work—the one in Stratford, the other in London. Both claim to be regarded as national ; both declare that they are powerfully supported ; and yet both cannot succeed. There may be in the public mind enough of sympathy for one ; there is not enough for two. One of the two must either be extinguished altogether or become auxiliary to the other. See what is wanted. Each of the committees proposes as the principal object of its scheme to build a monument. We do not like the idea of a monument at all. There are monuments enough. Above all, we stare at the suggestion that the foundation of the monument is to be laid on the 23d of April. In three months the money is to be collected, the site chosen, the artist appointed, the design drawn, and the first stone laid. It must be a wonderful committee that will do all this. Aad we are to have two magnificent monuments, worthy of the nation, worthy of Shakespeare. Where are they to coup from ? It would be a task of no ordinary difficulty to get one; two are impossible. We warn our literary friends not to be over sanguine. They may deem themselves lucky if they get money enough for one good monument, and the question is, shall this monu ment be at Stratford or in London. Our sympathy, in so far as we have auy sympathy with the movement, goes to Stratford, both as a matter of necessity and from a sense of justice. The necessity lies herein that London stands for itself almost alone. The provincial towns are supporting Strat ford, and will continue to support it. Against the metro• polls the cry of centralisation has b3en raised. Man chester, Birmingham, and, if we mistake not, Liverpool, have all declared for Stratford ; and this is but a sign of what the provinces intend. They, and not only they, but all Europe and all America, when they give to Shakespeare a local habitation, think of him not in connection with Lon don, but in connection with Stratford, where he was born, where ho was educated, where he married and had children, where his family seem always to have lived even when he himself was in London, where he visited them from year to year, where as he grew in wealth he bought house and lands, where he retired in the fulness of his strength to enjoy his days, whore he died and where he now lies buried, He came to London to push his fortune and to make his re putation; but he left it soon; there was a prospect of long days before him in his native town, and he died there in his prime, one year younger than Mr. Thackeray, Stratford, then, is the locality with which Shakespeare's name is chiefly associated, %Ve of the metropolis are bound to re member this, and must not be selfish. The country towns have often assisted London, and it would be a graceful thing I for London now to assist a small country town—Shake speare's town. All things conspire to'this end. For not only if London acted differently, would it fail to obtain in any important degree the support of the provinces ; it is divided against itself. We cannot take part in the feuds which dis trac; what is elegantly called the National Shakespeare Committee of London ; but there is no doubt that th s corn mittee has been badly managed, that its executive has not been wisely chtpen, and that it has lost, if it ever Rl seised, the public confidence, To this day the committee of management is unknown to the public.

We speak with choeunnosuerl counsels of ar Sfohrakpeesapeeeaarne and unanimity unanimit i s per fect impartiality, for we must repeat that the scheme of a monument finds no favour in our eyes, from whomsoever it ipsveraefroairormue'sance of Shakespeare's monument,co untrymen, lies comes. would wish to Some suggest the t will be a care schemes have been 11.

The first of these schemes, involving the endowment of a Shakespearian theatre, has been proposed by Mr. Tom Taylor, Mr. Theodore Martin, and Mr. Shir ley Brooks, and looks the best ; it is, however, unnecesary to pronounce an opinion on any of them, because they are not fairly before the public. But we may bestow a few words of praise upon one or two private attempts to show care for Shakespeare's works. This year is remarkable for the appearance of two first-rate editions of Shakespeare, which if they are continued as they have been begun, will have a standard value.* Of these works the most curious is the reproduction by photo-lithography of the first folio edition of Shakespeare's plays. An instalment of the reproduction under Mr. Howard Staunton's superintendence has now been issued, and with it we are bound to notice the reduced reprint of Mr. Booth. The first edition of Shakespeare's works is still the most important and authoritative. That it is often erro neous we all know, but most of us would agree with Mr. Dyco in thinking " that an exact reprint of the old text, with its multifarious errors, forms a more valuable contri bution to literature than a semi-corrected text, which, * Shakespeare : The First Folio of 1623, reproduced by photo•lighography, under the supervision of Howard Staun ton. London, Day and Son. Shakespeare : A Reprint of his Collected TV orks as Put _Forth m 1823, Piat 11, containing the liistories. London, L. Booth. The iVorks of William Shakespeare. The text revised by the Rev. Alexander Dyce. Iu 8 vols. Vol. I. London, Chapman and Hall, purged here and there of the grossest blunders, continues still, almost in every page, to offend against sense and metre." How nearly the established texts approach to the original, and how much that original, as a whole, is superior in authority to the received versions, is proved by the demands that have been made for a reproduction—be it facsimile or reprint—of the first folio. To meet the demand fir. Booth undertook a reduced reprint, of which the first part, containing the Comedies, was published two years ago; while the second part, containing the Histories, made its appearance a few weeks back. To that work we can give the greatest praise. It is supposed to b 3 the most ac curate reprint which ever has been made, and there has evidently been such labour and love bestowed upon it as reflect the highest credit on Mr. Booth and his associates. The work, too, is wonderfully cheap; being of a reduced size it is very handy; and for ordinary purposes it is suffi cient. Still, the art of photography can surpass it, and the first specimen of their photo-lithographic facsimile which Messrs. Day and Son have just turned out, under the care of Mr. Howard Staunton, will be regarded by Shakespearean scholars with unqualified satisfaction. It is not the original —that is all which can be said against it ; but it is, we believe, as near the original as it is possible for any fac simile to be. The first folio was printed with an old, bat tered, and rather dirty type. Here the nick of an fis gone, which makes it look like the old form of s; there an c is so broken that it is indistinguishable from c ; some times a letter is so clogged with dirt that it is difficult to make it out ; often the type is out of gear, and the spaces are capricious. Mr. Booth's reprint gives a fair idea of these caprices ; he had a type specially cut for the pur pose. But, being a new, clean-cut type, it is scarcely able to compete with photo-lithography in reproducing all the vagaries of form which appear in a much-worn and blurred character. We have been at the pains to compare both Mr. Booth's and Mr. Staunton's work with the original, and are astonished at the minute accuracy of both—but of course in all the extremest minutice the photographic copy is pre-eminent. It must not be supposed in every case, however, that because a difference may be found between Mr. Booth's reprint and Mr. Staunton's facsimile that therefore one is wrong and the other right. Both may be right. There are differences between different copies of the first folio, for the work evidently underwent revision and correction as it passed through the press. Mr. Staun ton follows mainly the celebrated Ellesmere copy from the library of Bridgewater-house, in some respects the finest copy in the world. But turn to the ISth.page of the fac simile, and we shall find in the first column, " These are not natural evens," and in the second column, " Who how now Stephano ?"—both characteristic errors of the Elles mere folio. In the copy followed by Mr. Booth the phrases are given properly—" These ;are not natural events," and " Why how now Stephano F" Both of the reproductions are right, and we give them both a welcome. They scarcely interefere with each other in competition. The reprint is cheap and portable—the facsimile is more expensive and leas handy, but in so far as we have seen it is a miracle of accuracy that will rejoice the hearts of all true Shakespeareans. As rumours have gone abroad that the appearance of such a facsimile by means of photo-lithography would bo an impossibility, it is pleasant now to see the best contradic tion of such a report in the actual appearance of the work. We have not examined every page, but those we have scru tinised yield convincing proof that the process is a trust worthy one. And if any infinitesimal errors el ould be dis covered by other eyes, it should bo remembered that this first part is the most difficult of all to copy, because the earlier pages of the Ellesmere volumes are in a less satis factory condition than the body of the work. The printing, for example, on one side of a page shows, through age, on the other side; and the photographer has peculiar difficul ties to encounter in getting rid of this appearance. The portrait of Shakespeare by Droeshout on the titlepage of the Ellesmere folio is a wonderfully fine example of the famous engraving, and in reproducing its delicate shades Mr. Staunton's process has been less successful than in copying the caprices of typography. This, however, was to have been expected, and rough as the copy is, it is, we believe, as near an approach to a facsimile as at present it is possible to obtain of any fine artistic w, rk. The fac simile of these 64 pages cannot but surprise any one who looks into it; and what a treasure it is may le estimated from the fact that a copy of the original folio has sold for £250. Concurrently with Mr. Staunton another Shakspearean scholar comes with a remarkable edition. It is Mr. Dyce, the chief living authority in this kind of scholarship. His work is announced as a second edition, but in reality it is quite new. In his former edition of Shakespeare he ad hered slavishly to the text of the copies whenever by any possibility a meaning could be twisted out of it, in this re spect following most of the recent editors. But the Cam bridge editors have carried slavishness to such an ex treme that he has b;en startled into common sense, and abjures their superstition. The Cambridge edition of Shakespeare has been highly praised, not for its text, which shows a great lack of judgment, but for the collation which accompanies it. Now, however, we shall have to give it the praise of having given rise indirectly to the best text of Shakespeare which has yet appeared. Mr. Dyce has expres-ed a hope that in ceasing to be a timid editor he has not become a rash one. There is so much of slavish ness in Shakespearean criticism that possibly he will not escape from this imputation, but he shall not hear it from us. Perhaps an example will best illustrate the sort of charges to which he will be exposed. In the first scene of the Tempest, Gonzalo, on board ship, says, according to the first folio, " Now would I give a thousand furlongs of sea for an acre of barren ground—Long heath, brown furze, anything. The wills above be done L but 1 would fain die a dry death." The vast majority of editions follow this reading, because a sense can be wrung out of it. Sir Thomas Hanmer proposed an emendation—" Now would I give a thousand furlongs of sea for an acre of barren ground—ling, heath, broom, furze, any thing ;" and to support this suggestion there is in Harrison's Description of Britain, prefixed to Hollin shed's Chronicles, a work which it it is known that shako speare used, a passage where "Broom, heath, furze, brakes, whins, ling" are mentioned as characteristics of barren ground. Most persons would accept this quotation as con clusive, even if they were not quite satisfied beforehand that Sir Thomas Hanmer's conjecture restored the sentence to its proper balance. But Shakespearean editors are a stiff necked generation, and are not soon convinced of error. They showed some hankering after the new reading, but could never summon courage to adopt it, Mr. Dyce himself did not adopt it in his last edition. He is now so disgusted with the inanities of timid editing that, in effect, he says boldly, "This will never do. Editing is of no use if it cannot cor rect obvious mistakes. The folio pure and simple is far better than a semi-corrected folio," So be accepts Han mer's emendation, and we make bold to say he is right. Although Mr. Dyce is the most learned of Shakespeare's editors, and though he is the chief authority on most ques tions of verbal criticism connected with our old poets, the respect which we pay him is not unqualified, In the first place, he wants originality of conception. He seldom originates, however he may adopt, art emendation. In this respect he is far behind Mr. Staunton, who as a verbal critic is the most original of Shakespeare's recent editors. Still more is he behind the late Mr. Sidney Walker, to whose critical notes he is largely indebted. In the next place, he is rather captious in his style, and snaps at other critics 1 in such a small way that he fails to inspire everybody with confidence in a judgment which seems so apt to cavil. He mils at innocent though, perhaps, vague expres sions, and we maintain that he does himself injustice. Lastly, in a number of instances, he errs in his critical judgment. Thus, for example, every one knows the cele brated speech of Prospero on the insubstantial nature of all earthly things, which ends with the phrase " leave not a rack behind." Mr. Dyce insists that it should be " wreck," and put this into his text. The reason is that though there are examples in our old writers of "lite rack," as applied to the clouds, he cannot find an instance in which " a rack" is used in the same sense. This is scarcely cogent enough to justify the change, So, again, with the Cambridge editors he persists is not seeing the chronological value which attaches to " it" as a possessive case, As the pos sessive of " it" we have in Shakespeare various forms—it, its, his. In our day the second of these forms has banished the others; in Shakespeare's time it was bat coming into use. Mr. Dyce thinks that in this respect we ought to modernize Shakespeare, and banish from his pages a recog nised grammatical form of the time because it does not suit modern ears. There is no room for argument hero. We can only say that scholars will not thank him for obliterat ing from the page what is one of the most curious land marks of the language. If we find in Shakespeare such a line as, "The innocent milk in it most innocent mouth," this, as part of the grammar of the time, is as much entitled to preservation as if we had found in the same line the mo dern " its," Once more Mr. Dyce follows the Cambridge editors (theoretically, however, not really) in dealing with another grammatical peculiarity which we find in Shake speare. A noun plural with a verb singular is of fre quent occurrence in Shakespeare. How is an editor to deal with such a construction ? The Cambridge editors de cree that when this form of construction proceeds from the lips of any low fellow it may be allowed to remain; if it comes from a Prince or any of the higher personages it should be corrected, because it will not do to let Princes speak grammar which offends a modern ear. Wo laughed at this canon of the Cambridge editors as wordy of Jenkins. To our amazement Mr. Dye() says in his preface that the rule of Jenkins is right; only he takes care not to follow it in his text. In another respect, also, he dissents from the Cambridge editors. He has no mercy on their crude ideas as to Shakespeare's versification, and he follows a much sifer guide, Mr. Sidney Walker. Mr. Walker, however, was rather extreme in his views—we are as apt to go to extremes when we are merely jotting our opinions in note books. This very able man never learnt the caution which THE ARMY. The whole of the 13th Brigade Garrison ArUllery, in com mand of Col.

The deceased was severely injured in the head, r.r.d died soon after his removal to his own home.

The noble effort made by hladlle. Jamblain for providing for women condemned to roam the streets at night is the only thing of the kind to be met with in Paris. This lady, the daughter of a poor gendarme, and left at his death in the most straitened circumstances, has found means to hire a house, where, at any hour of the night, females of every class requiring rest, warmth, and repose, may find a re fuge from the cold night air and the muddy streets. The great merit of the foundation is the truly Christian spirit which opens the Refuge to all alike without dis tinction of caste or creed, ago or antecedents. How many poor lone and deserted females have been rescued by this timely aid from a life of infamy or a despairing death I From sunset till nine in the evening the door is open— every female who chooses may walk in and ask for a night's accommodation—after that hour the gate is closed.

Jamblain goes herself to open at summons of the bell, She merely asks who is there P On the answer being given, she requests the petitioner to get herself accompanied to the gate by the agent of police on duty for the night, which, if the applicant be honest, she of course has no objection to do—if the contrary, she disappears, and is seen no more. During the severe cold of last week, hldlle Jamblain in formed me that the great bell of the establishment was going the whole night long. " The house was SO full," said she, " I was compelled to give up the little leather sofa in the ante-room to the poorest and most miserable looking applicant of all. And would you believe it, when called upon to subscribe her name in the register of the establish ment, which, by the police regulations, every visitor is compelled to do on admission, she proved to be an old Countess, formerly as celebrated for fashion and beauty as the Countess de Castiglione at this moment. She had been refused admission to the miserable lodging she had been occupying for some time past, not being able to pay up the arrears, and had wandered about the streets in the piercing cold until midnight, when she suddenly remem bered the brutal taunt of the coarse landlady of the lodg ing, "Go to the Refuge; it's quite good enough for those who can't pay," and had reflected that the advice which had raised her bitter indignation at the moment was none so bad after all, " She came straight hither," said.

But, soon cheered by the warmth and the secu rity, she grow as merry as a cricket, forgot all her sorrows, and talked and laughed with as much ease as she must have been wont to do in former times at her chateau in Melon."
