Arrang ja owe was taken ation.of ttie marriage; a ' dts were Maile T El El by him and Alm Phillips jointly in Portland-place, Wandsworth road. The agreement for renting it was signed by the defendant on the 21 July. I was ask( dby Atwood to be bridemaid, and I consented. lie also se lected a bridernan. Ann Sherlock provided clothes for the occasion. He continued to visit up to the sth of July at the new house. On the 7th ho called on me at my lather's. beLween seven and eight o'clock in the morning. He appeared very excited, and said his father threatened to disinherit him if he married Ann Sherlock. I ask: e 1 him how he would like to convey the informa tion to her; he said it would be too much for him, but if I would not he must, and added, " Poor girl, I do not know how she will be able to bear up against it." He appointed to meet me at Portland-place in the eyeing - , after office hours, to announce bis intentions. I did meet him; he vvas so affectbd that ho had nothing to say ; the girl was almost senseless. He then positively refused to marry her on the ground of his father's objection. Mrs. Phillips said she hoped he would make her some compensation for the expense of removing to the new house, and for the expense of her living, and his too, for he had many meals there. The plaintiff was confined in October, and the child is still living. lam not aware of my own knowledge that he visited her after the in tt to which I base alluded. Cross-examined by Mr. HUMFEWV—Mrs. Phillips is my aunt. Miss Sherlock is living with her now at Priest-bridge, Mortlake. She lived twelve months with Mrs. Collett before she went to Mrs. Edwards. She was then fifteen years of age. She also lived with my father, who is a wheelwright, at Priest-bridge. Between the time of lecvittg Mrs. Collett's and going to Mrs. Ed wards' she resided with my aunt. My aunt has a daughter, but she is not a married woman. She had no more that I know of. The 'daughter is married, and lives et Putney. ; she was married three months ago. She had a child, which is now eeid. It was about two years old went it died. My aunt's daughter is about twenty-six. She was in service when first in the family-way, and left her situa tion to reside with her mother before the confinement took place. Ann Sherlock was living with my aunt at the same tinar. Her father is a market gardener at Putney, but my aunt adopted her and brought her up at an early age. I have known her father all my life, but lam not aware that he was confined in gaol. I recol lect something about removing some lead, but I can't say that he was convicted. I never beard he was in gaol. I was quite a child when the circumstance took place; that is nearly twenty-eight years ago. Re examined—l had opportunities of observing the plaintiff's conduct while she was with my aunt, but I saw nothing immoral or imprudent about her. ram not aware of her acquaintance with any young man before she knew the deteudant. By the JUDGE—Ann Sherlock lived at the Bull Inn. Mortlake, before she went to Mrs. Collett's, but whether in the capacity of servant or friend I cannot say. Mrs. Ann Edwards—l am not in any way connected with Mrs. Edwards who has been mentioned in the case. lam the mother of a family, and reside at Putney. I have known Ann Sherlock seven years, but I never saw anything improper in her conauct, nor heard any rumours derogatory to her character. Elizabeth Cotton deposed to the fact of the defendant engaging the house of her father in Portland-place, Wandsworth, on the 2d of July. lle said he took the houe because he was going to be married. He said Miss Phillips was to sign the agreement, because his father objected to the marriage, but that he was to pay the rent, which was 22/. per annum. This &❑ished tho plaintiff's case. (The trial was proceeding when our report left.) BAIL COURT.-(THIS DAY.) (Sittings in Banco before Mr. Justice PATTESON.) TRUtTEES OF NEW CROSS ROADS V. SOUTH-EASTERN RAILWAY. Mr. BARROW applied to the Court for a rule calling upon the South-Eastern Railway Company why they should not complete certain works on the North Kent tine, which the Act sanctioning the railway required. The works said to have been neglected belonged to the New-cross station at Deptford and the bridge at Lewis ham, where, according to Sir James Macadam, the sur veyor of the New cross roads, the company had failed to erect screen walls and drain the roads in the manner provided by the Act of Parliament, and the consequence was the traffic of the roads could only be carried on at the risk of accidents.—Application granted. QUEEN V JONES. Mr. DIGBY SEYDIGIIR moved for a rule nisi, calling upon the Recorder of Sandwich to show cause why a mandamus should not issue, requiring him to re-enter and hear an appeal. The defendant had been committed to prison for two months, under 5 George IV., chap. 83, as a rogue and vagabond. having been found at Barns gate on board the Little Western steamer without being able to give a proper account of himself, or to show that he had any lawful and visible means of living. The de fendant appealed against the decision of the magistrates who heard the case, and he was liberated on bail, but at the Quarter Sessions Mr. Benson, the Recorder, re fused to hear the appeal on the ground that the notice cf appeal was informal and insufficient, and the defend ant was remitted to prison. 'rho objection to the notice was purely of a te hnical character, the notice having been signed on behalf of the prisoner's attorney per procuration. It was signed in this way "Henry De Madena per John Bernard, attorney for the said John Jones," and it was contended that the ihfereece to be drawn from this was that Madena was the appellant and Bernard his attorney. A second objection taken to the notice was that it did not disclose a sufficient ground of appeal, inasmuch as it simply alleged that the commit ment was made not only upon insufficient testimony but absolutely against testimony. Mr. Justice PATTESON thought that ground of appeal wai_the strongest that could possibly be taken. Mr. SEYMOIIA said the last objection taken to the no tice was that it was directed to "a magistrate for the county of Kent" instead of " a magistrate fur the Cinque Ports." The Learned Counsel did not deny that the notice was to some ex►ent informal, but the magistrate having acted upon it and discharged the prisoner on bail, these technical objections ought not to prevail. Application granted. MAJOR MORAY STIRLING.—Died, at Abercairny Abbey, on the 9th instant, Major William Moray Stirling, of Abercairny, the representative of one of our most ancient Perthshire families. Major Stirling spent the early and greater part of his life in military service. With the 13th Dragoons he saw much of the Peninsular war, and was aide de-camp to Major-General Sir C. Grant, at the battle of Waterloo, where he was severely wounded. He retired upon his succession to his maternal inheritance of Ardoch, and was shortly afterwards married to a daughter of Lord Doug las of Bothwell Castle, but had no family. Upon the death of his elder brother in 1842 without issue, he succeeded to the extensive estates of Abercairny, which extend from the foot of the Ochills to the Grampians, and embrace a numerous and highly respectable tenantry, to whom the deceased was a kind and indulgent landlord. Major Moray Stirling was a decided Conservative in politics, but was esteemed by men of all parties for his personal character. He was chairman of the Conservative committee during the two last contested elections for the county. The Abercairny property was lately disentailed, and, we believe, has been bequeathed to Charles Drummond, Esq., the second son of Henry Home Drummond, Esq., of blair-Drummond, our county Member, and brother-in-law of the deceased.—Perth Courier. A Jaw ELECTED AS ALDERMAN.—BRISTOL, NOV. 12.—1 am pleased to inform you that our much-respected co-religionist, W. NV. Alexander, Esq., of Berkeley-square, of this city, has been chosen as alderman. He was proposed by the Conservative party, and elected neon. con. What makes it highly flattering to this gentleman is, that he was not in the council, but chosen from private worth and high standing in the city.—Correspondent of Jewish Chronicle. FOREIGN APPLES.—The vessel Harrier, arrived from Ostend, has brought the very large quantity of 8,400 bushels of apples, comprising the entire cargo, the produce of Belgium. Die importations of apples now taking place from Jersey are of an extensive nature, and also from the United States of America. A CLEVER STARLING.—Mr. Rothweli, of South. port, is one of the best ornithologists in the country. He had been reading in Sterne about the starling, and was de termined to make the experiment of training one. Ac cordingly, having• procured a young starling, he taught it to whistle " Rory O'More" quite through, and to repeat its own name, " Poor Jacob." After a while, it would suy, " Poor Jacob, give us Rory," and then it would repeat its favourite tune. Being once attacked by some boys, it flew away from home, but its master, by coaxing, and calling " Poor Jacob," made it return, although it had reached the shore. It was sold for thirty shillings; but its master has never been able to teach other starlings (or " shepsterds," as they are called in Lancashire) with the same success as " Poor Jacob."—Preston Cour ier. [While wo are quite pre pared to give every credit to the wonderful starling of our Preston contemporary, we would respectfully inform him that "Poor Jacob" is but an insignificant performer, com pared with the favourite starling of Mr. James M‘Birnie, of Cowcaddens-street, Glasgow. This bird, we may mention, is named " Richard," but he whistles with the utmost preci sion every note of the tune " The Hills o' Glenorchy" quite through. He then repeats, " That's the Hills o'Glenorchy— that's a tune for the ladies— a small gill of the best here— quick, quick ; make haste !—Richard's pretty, pretty cock bi r d—a coach and six for pretty Richard—Richard's the boy for kissing the lasses ;" and then, " Now for the Hills o' Glenorchy." Mr. 11'Birnie's bird is valued at fifty guineas, which sum his owner has more than once refused tor him, and be is a great favourite in the quarter.— Glasgow Chronicle. THE ALL SOULS COLLEGE FELLQWSHIPS AT OX.- ' FORD. -- We are requested by a correspondent to state that, since the election at All Souls College, the warden and fel lows of the college have addressed a strong letter to the Rev. Mr. Wynne, urging the propriety of his resigning his fellow ship at the college, as untenable with his present position as a member of the Church of Rome. By statute 10th of Geo. IV., c. 7, s. 16, Roman Catholics are still excluded frown holding any office in a college; but there are, it appears, con siderable practical difficulties in the way of displacing a Fellow once elected. It is evident matters cannot be al lowed to remain in their present state. We think it sufficient this week to notice a report which has gone the round of the papers, that the same societys late elections—honourably distinguished from those of former years, by the selection of a first-class plebeian to succeed to one of the vacant fellow ships—have been sullied by the appointment of three other candidates, whose recommendations were simply those of aristocratic connexion, and who laboured under the dis qualification of having been plucked in the examination schools, or imputations of a still graver character.— Christian. Times. ALL UP WITH THE POPE.—Monsieur Poitevin, the French aeronaut, has almost exhausted " Buffon's Na tural History " in endeavouring to find sonic new animal on which to make his balloon st , cents. He has gone up on horse-back, donkey-back, ostrich-back, an d nearly every other species of bacs, until at last he has been so hard pushed fur something new, that he requested an elephant to give him a back, which the sagacious monster declined. It is now, we believe, in contemplatioa by Monsieur Poitevin to ascend on the back of the l'ope's bull, which will experience no d iffi :ut ever known, tyi n n v,n ascending,at leastf o r itin the has w attained nof the greatest height impudence. —Punch.

SUN, LONDON, SATURDAY THE QUEEN AND THE POPE. ' ADDRESS OF THE CATHOLICS OF ENGLAND TO HER MAJESTY. The following address, which is understood to be from the pen of Cardinal Wiseman—a fact which gives additional importance to it—will, we under stand, lie at the various Catholic churches and chapels on Sunday next, and will be otherwise circulated, with the view of obtaining signatures to it, to testify to the loyalty of the Catholics of England to " her Majesty's royal person, crown, and dignity :" " To THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. " May it please your Majesty,—We, the under signed subjects of your Majesty, residing in Eng land and professing the Roman Catholic religion, beg to approach your Majesty's throne, there to express our sentiments of unimpaired and unalterable fidelity to your Majesty's royal person, crown, and dignity. "At a moment when attempts are being made to impeach our loyalty, we consider it a duty to give fresh utterance to these our feelings. "During centuries of exclusion from the privileges of the Constitution, and from the rights enjoyed by , their fellow-subjects, the Catholics of England re mained true to their allegiance to the Crown of this realm, and yielded to none in their readiness, at all times, to defend its rights and its prerogatives against every foe. And now that, under your Majesty's wise rule, we enjoy equal participation with others in the benefits of the Constitution, we are more. than ever animated with the same sentiments of fidelity and at tachment, and are equally ready to give proof, when- ever occasion may present itself, of the sincerity of our loyal professions. " The dearest of the privileges to which we have thus been admitted, by the wisdom of the British Le gislature, is that of openly professing and prac tising the religion of our fathers, in communion with the See of Rome. Under its teaching we have learned, as a most sacred lesson, to give to Caciar the things that are of Caasar, and to give to God the things that are of God. In whatever, therefore, our Church bas at any time done for establishing its regular sys tem of government amongst its members in this island, we beg most fervently and most sincerely to assure your Majesty that the organization granted to us is entirely ecclesiastical, and its authority purely spiritual. But it leaves untouched every tittle of your Majesty's rights, authority, power, jurisdiction, and prerogative, as our Sovereign, and as Sovereign over these realms, and does not in the leastwise diminish or impair our profound reverence, our loyalty, fidelity, and attachment to your Majesty's august person and throne; and we humbly assure your Majesty, that among your Majesty's subjects there exists no class who more solemnly, more continually, or more fer vently pray for the stability of your Majesty's throne, for the preservation of your Majesty's life, and for the prosperity of your Majesty's empire, than the Catholics of England, in whose religion loyalty is a sacred duty and obedience a Christian virtue." PAPAL ENCROACHMENTS. The following meetings were yesterday held in the metropolis and its neighbourhood, to protest against the recent Papal encroachments :—of the parishioners of the district of Holy Trinity, Brompton ; of the parishioners of St. Michael, Cornhill ; of the inhabi tants of the ward of Farringdon Without, of the in habitants of Bridewell Precinct, and of the inhabitants of All Hallows. A deputation from the parish of St. Andrew's, Holborn, waited on the Archbishop of Canterbury with an address on the same subject, to which the Archbishop returned the following an swer : "It is very gratifying to me to receive this address, which evinces so deep an interest in that great cause which I shall always endeavour, so far as may be, to promote. Coming from so important a parish as that of St. Andrew's, Holborn, I cannot but regard it as an important addition to the testimony so generally borne by the country, in opposition to the recent act of Papal aggression. Perhaps we may be thankful that an oppor tunity has now offered, though a very unexpected op portunity, and one of which we cannot:help thinking with out some degree of indignation, of showine how greatly mistaken those must be who have supposed—if there be any such—that the Protestant feeling of this country has in any degree diminished. It seemed to be neces sary that something of this description should have oc curred, in order that the feeling of the country might be drawn forth, and now that it has been elicited with so much strength and firmness, it may, perhaps, be almost more necessary to keep it within duo bounds, than to add to the existing excitement. But, at all events, those who are anxious to preserve the, principles of the Reformation, as I am sure those who have the appointment of the holy office, like myself, must always feel it a very great assistance, when they meet with the co-operation of the clergy and laity of the country. It must be a matter of regrtt that anything should have occurred in our Church which should have lid to the error to which I have alluded—the supposition that the Protes tant principles of this country have in any degree de clined. I truit, however, that it will now be seen, if it be not already seen, that those who gave rise to that opi nion form a very small minority, not only in our Church ' but in the country at large. 1 think, too, we may now ,ee, that to which we have hitherto been blind, but to which we must never be blind in future, that the Church ,f Rome is an aggressive church, arid that she will never be satisfied without domination, so far as it can be obtained. The surest method by which we can oppose such aggression and preserve ourselves free from such domination is to diffuse as widely as possible those truths on which our Protestant Church is founded, resting as they do upon the pure Word of God, without human addition or adulteration. In conclusion, I must repeat my gratification at this instance of confidence which you h.ve shown in me by the presentation o' this address There is no reason why as Metropolitan I should not accept it, and with God's grace I shall always be willing to promote as far as possible the principles which it enunciates." The following is the humble address of the under signed rector, churchwardens, and other inhabitants of the parish of St. Olave in Hart-street, in the city of London : "TO THE QUEEN'S MOST EXCELLENT MAJESTY. " May it please your Majesty,—We, your Majesty's dutiful and loyal subjects, yielding to none in senti ments of firm and unflinching attachment to your Ma jesty's sacred office and person, under whose undi.puted rule and governance we, and all cur fellow-subjects, enjoy, by the blessing of God, not only civil liberty, out freedom of conscience to serve Gcd in spirit and in truth, desire to express to your Majesty the indignation and apprehension with which we regard the recent at tempt of the See of Rome to insinuate its intolerant and bigotted power into this our happy Protestant country. " We feel indignant at the presumption of the Papal See in again endeavouring to establish its hierarchy in England. thereby most unjustifiably infringing your Majesty's long-established prerogative ; and in daring to apportion out into new, dioceses your Majesty's dominions, from which it cost our forefathers so much t o remove its control ; while the very attempt fills us with just apprehension, inasmuch as it proves how little that self-styled Catholic Church comprehends the nature of that toleration which we know it never has, and be lieve it never will practice. " We beg to assure your Majesty that we are firmly dett:rmined to uphold the spirit of that Constitution under which this country has enjoyed the mild sway of a long line of Protestant Sovereigns, and the free privi lege of a pure, biblical, apostolical worship; and we most humbly entreat your Majesty to adopt such measures, with the advice of your Council, as may, under the Di vine blessing, at once, and effectually, prevent the threatened usurpation of power in this land by the Bishop of Rome, and his delegates —an usurpation with. out parallel, even in Roman Catholic countries, since the days of the Reformation. "In conclusion, we pray Almighty God that He may be graciously pleased to continue to this hitherto favoured country the blessing of our Reformed Religion, in true Protestant purity and holiness, and to vouchsafe to your Majesty a long and peaceful reign over a grate ful and united Christian people. " Wm. HEATH, Vestry Clerk. " November 14, 1850." The engrossed address lies for signature at Mr. Churchwarden Heath's, corner of New London -street. THE LATE PLATE ROBBERI . ES.—Martin M agu i re , the man implicated along with Smell and Macaulay in the lite extensive plate robberies, and who had been remanded from the previous week on the char g e of having had posses sion of a gold watch stolen Croix! Halifax, was again brought up yesterday. Mr. Rushton intormed Mr. Simon, the bar rister, who appeared for the pr isoner, that he purposed trans ferring Maguire to the magistrates at Halifax, as he did not think it right that Liverpool should be burthened with the prosecution of cases alleged to have been committed in another county; therefore, if the police bad no charg e against the prisoner connected with the borough of Liver pool, he should at once transfer him, as he bad already stated. Mr. Clough, chief-super intendent of police, stated that, on the liednesday - previous, a young man brought to him a pawn ticket for a gold watch then In pledge, and stated that it had been purchased from Maguire. It was found, on the watch being taken from the custody of the pawnbroker, that the maker's name and number . had been erased, but on submitting it to Mr. Quillam, of Elliot-street, that gentleman said he was the maker of it, and it had been supplied to Mr. Yates, of Preston, and on applying to Mr. Yates, that gentlemen had informed him that the watch had been sold to a firm in Birmingham. This was all that at present was known of the case. It was ordered that the prisoner should at once be sent to Halifax. At the close of the case Mr. Simon appealed to the court that some money taken from the prisoner, and held by the police, should be given up for the purpose of the defence. Mr. Rushton de clined to comply with the request made, on the ground that the money found upon the prisoner may be the produce of the sale of stolen watches sold by him. COLLIERY .

GEORGE JAMES PENNINGTON.--It was with unfeigned regret, a regret in which we are sure all who knew the truly amiable nature of his character will join, that we yesterday announced the sudden decease, and by his own hand, of this gentleman. He was the only son of the late Dr. Charles Pennington, of Nottingham, and a nephew of the late Mr. Pennington, of London, who prac tised for many years as an apothecary and surgeon, amassing a large property, great part of whicif we believe he devised in favour of the deceased. Mr. G. J. Pennington was edu cated at Eton, and from thence passed to King's College, Cambridge, where he distinguished himself as a Greek scholar. He chose the bar as his profession, and was for a time a member of the Midland Circuit. He was afterwards appointed one of the judges in the lonian Islands, where he resided some years. SnortlY following his return to this country, he was appointed to the imp o rtant and lucrative office of Auditor of the Civil List; which he resigned only within the last few days, co nsequent upon an att ac k of pa ralysis about the month of August last, from the effect of which he never fully recovered, lie married the eldest daughter of the late Thomas Jekyl Rawson (formerly of Ash bourne, Derbyshire), by whom he had two sons and three daughters. fosT-OFFICE NOTlCE.—Henceforward all news vendors will be allowed to print upon the covers of any newspapers and stamped periodicals which they may send by post, the title or name of such newspaper or periodical, and also their own names an d a ddresses.

TILLERY AND SHOCKING OCCUARINCIL—Yesterday (Friday) morning between the hours of six and seven o'clock a tire was discovered raging in a house numbered 4 in a court behind the Effingham. Saloon in the Whitechapel-road. The engines having been set to work, the parish engineer and firemen succeeded in extinguishing the flames, when on en tering the basement they found sufficient to account for the absence of all parties connected witk the building. The cellar they discovered to be fitted up as a distillery, with a number of casks, washjand spirits in the place. The furnace under the still was alight. The still, furnaces, and plant have been seized by the officers of Excise and removed to Old Broad street. Shortly before two o'clock the same morning a fire happened on the premises of Mr. Hanninger, No. 15, Orange street, Lomand's Pond, t outhwark. The firemen on entering the premises found the bed and furniture in the back room ground-floor in a blaze, and in the midst a naked body of a female also much charred. It was learned that a female named Campbell died the preceding afternoon, and her body .was laid out on the bed. From what cause the room became fired is a mystery. No MESSMEN ALLOWED IN THE 'NAVY.-- The Admiralty have at length determined to allow no person to be entered on board her Majesty's ships, or to be employed in the service as a " messman," whether in the gun-room or the ward-room mess, their Lordships having fully satisfied themselves that most of the extravagance, and nearly all the intemperance, with their concomitants—ruin, disgrace, degradation, and loss of position in the service and society, are attributable to the practice of the gun-room mess of large ships appointing a regular " Messman," f rom whom any quantity of spirits or wiue can be procured by. paying for it. —United Service Gazette. THE COLSTON ANNIVERSARY.—BRISTOL, NOV. 14. —The great day of the year in Bristol, the charitable anni versary of the birth and death of Edward Colston, merchant of London and Bristol, who was the founder of so many and such munificent charities, and who died in 1708, was held on Wednesday last, when the various Colston societies, after having attended Divine service at the cathedral and other churches, sat down to their anniversary dinners, which were attended by several Members of Parliament, the Mayor, the Sheriff, the Lord Bishop, Ice. At the conclusion of the dinners the collection for the relief of lying-in poor women, widows, and orphans, and for apprenticing poor boys; were as follows :—At the Dolphin Society, held at the White Lion, 376/. 125.; at the Anchor Society, held at the Royal Gloucester Hotel, 476/. 13s. 6d. ; and at the Grateful Society, held at the Montague. Tavern, 570/.; making a total of 1,4231. 53.6 d. NOVEMBER 16, 1850. FOR 1851. LITERATURE. THE DRAWING-ROOM SCRAP-BOOK Under the able auspices of Charles Mackay, the "Drawing. Boom Scrap Book" for 1851 is equal to the most elegant and valuable of its elegant and valuable predeces,ors. Its attractions are threefold. In the first place, we admire its appearance—its richly adorned binding and the beauty of its type, paper, and various et ceteras rendering it, eminently deserving of a place on the table of the most exclusive salon or boudoir; secondly, the excellence of its thirty. six beautiful engravings ; and last, but not • least, the merit of its poetical contents, combine to render it charming to the eye and agreeable to the memory. Some of the engravings we have noticed before under other names, but they are all worthy of reprinting, and thus grouped together they torus beautiful and valuable collection. As an evidence of the excellence and variety of the engrav ings we need only particularise the names of some of the subjects and their artists. There are portraits by Lawrence and Chalon, scenes by Corbould, Cat termole and Parris, a charming glimpse of a " quarrel" by Stephanoff, charmingly illustrated in verse by Mackay ; a portrait of Sir John Franklin, by Derby; " Chinese Kite-flying," and some others by Allorn ; Chinese Lady, by Penstone—a beau tiful face, wort delicately portrayed ; these and other engravings worthy of accompanying them,' render the " Drawing-Room Scrap Book" worthy of its reputa tion. Portraits of female loveliness are the chief features of the collection ; for the editor, in his pre face, while commending the volume to the patronage of the ladies, declares himself, in the words of Chaucer, " Their oven Knight, That serveth them with will and herte and might, Aud ever hath done since they first him knew." A few contributors have lightened the labours of the editor. Mrs. Thomas has described in graceful verses " The Tryste" and the "Jewels." Le Chevalier de Cbatelain has celebrated (in French) "La Pnesie" and " English Beauty." The author of The Patri cian's Daughter has addressed some stanzas to his baby god-daughter, which are very beautiful—wit ness the concluding lines : " Who takes his tint from outward fate. Is to his fate beholden; Who his own sunshine-can crests,. Makes all he meets with, golden. Be this the record of thy name— • , Due to the loving-hearted— She found a blessing where she came, Or left one where she parted." Thomas Miller has recounted in blank verse the story of " Hagar and Ishmael." " The Letter to a Chinese Lady," by Shirly Btooks, is capital. The writer—if by return of the overland mail, he is only informed that " Yin Chang is willing"—is prepared to abandon friends and country, and repair to the Celestial Em pire and become for her sake a Chinaman— " On pickled ducks supporting life, And scollop'd slugs in rich farina, I'll int my bright•eyed, limping wife, And talk whole hours in broken China.' " The whole epistle, however, should be read in order to be appreciated. Dr. Mackay's contributions are necessarily on very various subjects, and he mentions in the introduction the difficulty of writing the poems nu to t the pictures, a di ffi culty which has apparently en no impediment to his muse. Among the more serious pieces are the lines on the "Portraits of Sir Robert and Lady Peel," and on the " Expedition in Search of Sir John Franklin ;" among the lighter and gayer themes are some graceful verses on a happy thought—" Borrowings and Returnings." " Chinese Kite-flying," a scene that would have delighted Mr. Dick, has suggested some delightful stanzas on " The Philosophy of Sport," in every line of which we recognize the genial tones of Charles Mackay. The moral of the verses is summed up in. two golden lines— " I honour human happiness, And deem it gratitude." In pursuance of which thought, he exclaims— " I love to see a man forget His blood is growing cold, And leap, or swim, or gather flowers, Oblivious of his gold; And mix with children in their sport, Nor think that he is old." Of a style similarly cheering are the lines on " Happy Days" : " Come back—oh! freshness of the past, W hen every lace seemed fair and kind, When sunward every eye was cast, And all the shadows tell behind. Come back!—'twill come:—true hearts can turn Their own Decembers into Mays, The secret be it ours ty learn— They come—they come—the happy days." Of a different character is a beautiful vision of Notre Dame, " The Phantoms of the Greve." Musing at midnight in Paris, the poet sees before bim a vision of Liberty, and then a melancholy concourse of the victims of the Reign of Terror : " Next passed fair Roland's pure and haughty shade, Twin-sister of the freedom she adored, With the calm spectre of that earnest maid Who slew the cynic that her soul abhorred." * * * * • "And then emerging from the silvery Seine, With dripping garments, trailing wet, passed by The druzon'd of ffant , s—the hapless women skim By veng eful and inhuman anarchy." When all th phantoms are assembled and v Paris seemed a city of the dead," the spectre Goddess of Liberty vindicates herself from the crime of having caused so much death and desolation— " The heavy guilt lies not upon my head— They knew me not, the men of other years. 'Twas Tyranny they worshipped and not me; 'Twas Ignorance inspired the deeds you mourn. For love is still the law of liberty, And hatred dwells with anarchy alone." So many and so varied are the attractions of this ele gant work, that instead of attempting to particularise them all, we may say that the " Drawing-Room Scrap-Book," edited by Dr. Mackay, fully sustains its own reputati on and its editor's claims to popu larity ; and to those who are familiar—as who is not? —with the earnest and eloquent "Voices from the Crowd," such an assertion will be deemed no mean encomium. THE HISTORY OF PENDENNIS. No. XXII. By W. M. Thackeray. In the present number the author is busily em ployed in clearing the stage preparatory to the de nouement. Pendennis is, for the first time, aware of the proceedings of his uncle in relation to the Cla verings, and, horrified at the idea of being considered as particeps criminis, determines to refuse Clavering's seat in Parliament, and to marry Blanche without a farthing, although he now knows she is a con vict's daughter. To this resolution he is urged by Laura ; he announces it to his uncle, and the poor old worldly Major is so shocked at what he considers the madness of the proceeding that he takes to his bed. This part is full of those admirable specimens of cha racter-painting for which Mr. Thackeray stands un rivalled. '1 he following description of the situation of a Dandy of the Regency in this year of grace, 1850, is worthy of La Bruyere:— " As became a man of fashion, Major Pendennis spent the autumn passing from house to house of such country friends as were at home to receive him, and if •the Duke happened to be abroad, or the Murqtfis in Scotland, con descending to sojourn with Sir John or the plain Squire. To say the truth, the old gentleman's reputation was somewhat on the wane—many of the men of his time had died out, and the occupants of their halls and the present wearers of their titles knew not Major Pendeunis, and little cared for his traditions •of the wild Prince and Poyns,' and of the heroes of fashion passed away. It must have struck the good man with melancholy as he walked by many a London door, to think how seldom it was now opened for him, and how often he used to knock at it— to what banquets and welcome he used to pass through it—a score of years back. He began to own that he was no longer of the present age, and dimly to apprehend that the young men laughed at him. Such melancholy musings must come across many a Pall-mall philosopher. The men, ,thinks he, are not such as they used to be in hi s time: the old grand manner and court l y grace o f life are gone: what is Caatleivood House and the present Castlewood, compared to the magnificence of the old mansion and owner? The late Lord came to London with four postohaises and sixteen horses; all the north road hurried out to look at his cavalcade; the people in London streets even stopped as his procession passed them. The present Lord travels with five bagmen in railway carriage, and sneaks away from the - station, smoking a cigar in a Brougham. The late Lord in au tumn filled Castlewood with company, who drank Claret till midnight: the present man buries himielf in a' hut on a Scotch mountain, and passes November in two or three closets in an estresol at Paris, where his - amuse ments area dinner at ace I and a box at a little theatre. What a contrast there is between his Lady Lorraine, the Regent's Lady Lorraine, and her little Ladyship ot the present era! He figures to himself the first, beautiful, gorgeous, magnificent in diamonds and velvets, daring in rouge, the wits of the world (the old wits, the old polished gentlemen—not.the canaille of to-day with their language of the cab-stand, and their coats smelling of smoke) bowing at her feet; and then thinks of to-day's Lady Lorraine—a little woman in a black silk gown, like a governess, who talks astronomy, and labouring classes, and emigration, and the deuce knows what, and lurks to church at eight o'clock in the morning. Abbots-Lor raine, that used to be the noblest house in the county, is turned into a monastery—a regular La Trappe. They don't drink two glasses of wine after dinner, and every other man at table is a country curate, with a white neckcloth, whose talk is about Polly Higson's progress at school, or Widow Watkins's lumbago. • And the other young men, those lounging guardsmen and great lazy dandies—sprawling over sofas and billiard-tables, and stealing off to smoke pipes in each other's bed rooms, caring for nothing, reverencing nothing, not even tor an old gentleman who has known their fathers and their betters, not even a pretty woman----what a difference there is between these men who poison the very turnips and stubble-fields with their tobacco, and the gentlemen of our time!' thinks the Major; the breed is gone—there's no use for 'ern; by a parcel o f d amne d cotton - s pi nn ers and utilitarians, - and young sprigs of parsons with their hair combed down their backs'." they're replaced ri DRAMATIC MAGAZINE.
