"Let well e nough alone" is a sta n d ard maxim far more profitable in the observance than in the breach. A morning con t emporar y, whose flank, we are b ound to acknowledge, is seldom turned, would have better consulted his own reputation for sagacity had he borne in mind that salutary doctrine, as well as the familiar dogma of the Dz•an of St. Patrick's, relative to the effect produced by a perseverance in stirring what is inodorous by nature. We were among the many who perused with a smile of surprise an article which served to fill the columns of the journal alluded to not long before the opening of the Great Exhibi tion. On conning it over, a shrewd suspicion per vaded cur mind that a The Times was, as the saying is)) The - Proprietorhas the gratification to announce that he has suc ceeded in engaging Mons. Jullien and the elite of his unrivalled Vend, and that he will continue a short season with a grand Con ceit Monstre, including Herr Koenig, M. Collinet, Lavigne, L'An- Weis, Mr. Lazarus, Mr. Jarret, and other eminent soloists. The splendid bands of the Royal Artillery, 2d Life Guards, and Cold stream Guards will attend in full uniform, by the kind permission of their respective Colonels, in addition to the effective band of this establishment. b•ceir Solos by Herr Koenig, M.

T Never has the truth of the old adage, " extremes meet," been moro clearly exemplified than in the cases of Mr. GUSTAVUS RocRFoRT CLARKE, the Iconoclast, and Messrs. MILLAIS, llntir, and COLLINS, the Pre- Rapheelite brethren ; not more naturally does Pro tectionism, when carried out, run into Socialism (witness the speeches of BUSEEILD FERRAND and the letters of RICHARD OASTLER passim) than does ' Clarkeism run into Pre-Raphaelism. Mr. ROCIIE FORT CLARKE objects to the generality of painting and sculpture, that it is either voluptuous, and calculated to excite impure ideas, or that it is blasphemous, and to give vent to his indignation he actually did public execution on a print of MURILLO'S magnificent pic ture of the Trinity by tearing it up, amidst, as he tells us, the applause, but, as others who were pre sent tell us, the contemptuous laughter of an Exeter hall audience. At this point the Puritanism run mad of Mr. CLARKE meets with and joins the Catho licism run mad of the pre-Raphaelites , they would have joined him in this act of wanton destruction. He upon principle objects to the represen tation either in marble or by painting of "the likeness of anything that is in the heavens above,th or in the earth beneath, or in the waters under e earth." They carry out bis principle into prac tice,above the:coma and. boast that they carefully avoid painting any Such likenesses. The sublimity of MURILLO being Prehension of Mr. CLARKE is by him stigmatised blasphemy ; but the picture by Mr. MILLAIs entitled The Dove returned to the Ark," which is exhibited this year in the Exhibition of the Royal Academy, of Mr. CLARKE'S admiration doubt not, the object . . b l ae t dg is ow es n se s, nt s i t a a l n ly di C n i g ar i k n y a; it represents two children inn 7 would Ag h ain d been packing ham litter of straw (as if NO AH no doubt be com ture of MA pers), cuddling a dove. i RIANA, by the same artist proper and mended by Mr. CLARKE as a mit ' re f t e h i e l ou p s ic iy most unvoluptuous picture, for even Mr. CL AR „ ; hi h Puritan and rigid moralist as he is, might almost e x : se Lord ANGELO for his desertion of such a MA R , ANA ; at all events, his subsequent condemnation to pass the re mainder of bis days in her society was, if she bore the slightest resemblance to the MARIANA limned by Mr. MILLAIS, quite punishment enough for any faults of which he could have been guilty. Equally would Mr. CLARKE admit the propriety of Mr. RUNT'S delineation of the "Two Gentlemen of Verona;" they are gentlemen such as were never seen in the flesh from the days of ADAM down wards, and w h o, s h ould they ever appear on th e stP g e of life; their days, would continue single gentlemen all i seeing that their a pp earance i s a perfect cure for l ove. Les extremes se touchent ' • and here we / have the Bi go t ry of the Iconoclast and the Bigotry of the Ultra-Catholics • in art uniting in a repudiation of " regularly sold" eby the 2Vew York .Herald, and that suspicion ripened into certainty on reading, in the next place, the original document which our contemporary thought fit to transfer to his broad sheet in extenso. It is true that productions of an extraordinary nature ap pear not rarely in the American newspapers, but our friend of the New York Herald is by no means such an ignoramus as to put forth seriously a tirade such as that which galled the Times into an affrighted belief in its sober import. The whole affair would, however, have passed away like every other nine days' wonder, but the English journal seems resolved to try and have the last word, and thereby, with all re spect be it spoken, to write itself down a kindred animal to honest DOGBERET. The Herald, in the last impression which has reached Europe, announces that the effusion to which so much importance wa s given in Printing House-square, was —as it needed no ghost from the hand," veto tbeullt, withus— "a slight missile sent from a playful an admirable gravity, baits its hook again for ano ther bite in the same quarter where it had in the first instance been so successful. And our contempo rary, with some degree of ponderous j ocu l ar i ty, la bours to prove himself a little less frightened than before, when (as the Herald remarks in a paragraph which our contemporary did not include in his nume rous quotations therefrom on Wednesday morning) " he treated the menacing intelligence with a terrible anxiety to be cool, and devoted his serried columns, day after day, to explanations, affecting to laugh, and appearing very much like a traveller in some great, dark forest, whistling to keep his courag e up, while looking backward and forward to see some frightful spectre at every tarn." It is really "milking a ram" for a print professing to be "the leading journal of Europe," to address itself to refute such a bouncing hoax as the assertion that, when the aforesaid "playful missile" reached London, "the Prime Minister sent off a note instanter ifor the Duke of WELLINGTON—the Ministers ten dered their resignations—Lord STANLEY tried to form a new Cabinet in vain, and the politicians, so conservative, so grave, so self-confident in the Yeo manry and in the business population, did not even dare to venture on a general election, to form a new and reliable Government. England trembles from top to toe, and even the QUEEN, who has considerable nerve, was so much frightened, that Prince ALBERT regretted that an American newspaper con taining such alarming suggestions should have reached the shores of happy Albion ! Apprehensions of this character soon begat worse fears, and with the speed which an emergency only can create, thirty thousand brilliant bayonets bristled in the neighbour hood of Hyde-park, besides we know not how many parks of artillery were ready at a moment's call.' Our contemporary has given the benefit of the im mense circulation which he enjoys to a full elucida tion of the marvellous treasures which are piled within the crystal walls of the matchless Palace of Industry, and that in a free and cordial spirit. It is, moreover, mainly, if not altogether, owing to his powerful pen that a check has been applied by the Commissioners of Police to that excessive nuisance the cab-extortion system, which, if permitted to riot un checked, would be found materially to interfere with the comfort and accommodation of a great number of visitors to the metropolis during the present memorable season. But we must be per mitted to say that a worthier occupation might be found than giving currency to humbug, which may leave an ineffaceable and alarming impression on the minds of many respectable aged females, besides affording a hearty laugh in New York at the capacity of gullet which exists in this instance on the part of the foremost journal of " the Britishers." We shall not enter now into a consideration of an article entitled " The World's Fair in London. Its Objects and Effects," published also in the New York Rend of the 6th of May. We regret and pity the uncandid tone in which a string of fallacies, which may go down with the unthink ing or prejudiced among our Transatlantic kinsmen, are couched. It is much to be ap prehended that there is just a leetle spice of envy or disappointment lurking at the bottom. It is notorious to the world that the display of contributions in the American department in the edifice at Hyde- park is far behind that furnished by any other country ; in fact, to speak the word plainly, it is unanimously voted "shabby." Whose fault is this ? The great Republic is amply supplied with sources, natural and artificial, sufficient to have rendered her a proud com petitor with the states of the Old World at the "Fair of the Universe." And we confidently believe that it would have diffused a sincere and wide-spread pleasure amongst our own people had our Co lumbian kinsmen, or, as we may justly term them, our Anglo-Saxon brethren, come out with a little more strength and effect on such a great occasion. But there is no use in assum ing the airs of a discontented child, and scolding us in such terms as the following, which we extract without a further word of comment, trusting that we shall bear no more of a paper warfare which reflects no credit on either of the parties con cerned, both of whom, and one in particular, ought to know better than to make such an ado about nothing : " The British see that their supremacy is gone—that the glory of Ichabod is departed, and the cowed bully becomes the abject sycophant. England sees that her destiny is under our control." (1) * * " Our opinion, then, of this great show is, that it originated in selfishness; that it will not tend to advance peace throughout the world, as it was intended it should ; that it is a Yankee trick to make the rest of the world contribute to England's wealth ; that as far as arts and manufactures are concerned, it will be a failure ; and that, on the whole, it looks like a gigantic humbug." (I ! ) "In a - few days I hope to be among you : I know that the agents of a corrupt and corrupting Minister await that moment to give utterance to seditious cries. If this should be done I shall seize the first who shall be bold enough to do so, and deliver him up to the au thorities, that he may b e p un i s h e d. I am fully con vinced of the nationality of the banner which I have displayed; persuaded as I am that my countrymen of Lisbon know me, I feel certain that they will do me the justice to believe that I will employ every means in my power to cause the city to be respected. " The Duke of "Head-quarter s , O por t o, May 9, 1851." SALDANHA. The same journal contains the following account of SALDANHA'S movements : "On the 6th the Marshal went, with the 9th and 14th Regiments of Infantry, a battalion of the 13114 and the 3d Chasseurs, to Coimbra, where he was received with enthusiasm. On the 7th he was at Agueda, and on the Bth at Carvalho, and the same evening returned to Oporto. On the 9th he commenced embarking troops for Lisbon. The corps that will accompany the Duke are the let, sth, and 7th Chasseurs, the Ist, 2d, and 6th Infantry, and the Queen's Grenadiers. The Dake is to embark on the 10th, and will probably enter Lisbon on the 12th." GERMANY. On the 18th an imperial rescript was issued at Vienna restricting the amount of paper circulation, and ordering the adoption of measures for the gra dual withdrawal of Government notes. GREECE. The Augsburgh Gazette has the following from Athens, dated the 6th :—" The Minister of Finance presented to the Senate a Bill, demanding a credit of 113,420 drachmas, to increase the salaries of the Ephores and other employes in the finance depart ment, which measure was rejected. The father of the Minister voted against him, and the Minister then tendered his resignation, which was accepted. His colleagues told him that they must seek a better support than he was able to give them, si❑ce even his own father voted against him. General Tza.vmaxs, who also voted against the Ministry, has had his pay reduced by one half ; it is said that he will be sent into Acarnania, to fight against the brigands." ITALY. A letter from Rome says that every day brings a new event. Oa the 11th a French soldier was stabbed in one of the most populous quarters. General GEMEAU has published a proclamation, of which the following is the analysis. After mention ing the different attacks upon French soldiers, the General suppresses all permissions to carry arms. Firearms, swords, and poniards, were to be given up before the 17th. After that date domiciliary visits were to take place, and every inhabitant found in the possession of arms is to be tried by court-martial Owners of houses are to be held responsible for the arms which may be found in them. Persons carry ing sword-canes are to be arrested by the patrols, and kept in prison until they have paid a fine of 15 Roman crowns. On the ; day when this proclama tion was issued a person was assassinated at the cor ner of the Yin Condotti, only 100 yards from the residence of General GEMEAU. The Piedmontese Gazette of the 17th publishes the law on the accumulation of offices. By this law a functionary cannot fill two offices paid by the State, unless in the following cases :—When the salary of a public office does not amount to 8,000 fr., an office depending from the department of Public Instruction may be added to it, provided it does not encroach upon the time allotted to the former one. Professors may enjoy two offices belonging to the department of Public Instruction. In such cases the smaller salary is reduced by one-third, when the sum total of the salaries exceeds 5,000 f. The Members of the Sani tary Corps may also enjoy two offices on the same conditions. Non-commissioned officers and soldiers of the corps of veterans and invalids are not subjected to any restrictions with respect to the places they may have in the various public bureaux. No func tionary in active service is allowed to enjoy, besides, a life interest or pension payable by the State for former services. Professors' fees, however, are exempted from these restrictions, as well as salaries attached to theo rder of St. Maurice and Lazarus, and other orders WIGUT.—(TIIIS DAY.)—Her Majesty ch a ildren and the accompaniedr A i t,' i u R s b o ion.

How this league of the extremes of folly against common sense is to be carried out remains to be seen, whether Mr. CLARKE will give up his Puritanism to join the Pre - Raphaelites in their ultra-Catholicism, or whether, giving up their ultra- Catholicism, and deriving their inspiration from Mr. ROGEIFORT CLARKE, they will found a new second. commandment school of art, in which beauty shall be deemed blasphemy, and the least approach to nature sin, is as yet uncertain ; but that Clarkeism and Pre- Raphaelism are but different stages of the same disease, is, we think, abundantly evident. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC. We have received the Paris journals of yesterday. They all contain long articles on the question ol the revision of the Constitution, one of the most re markable of which is by M. DE LAMARTINE. In that article he distinctly states that it was the Legitimatist Deputies who, on the 24th o f F e b ruary, 1848, urged him to conclude his speech by proposing a provisional Government, and that having precipitated the monarchy of July into a republic, they now seek to plunge the republic into anarchy ; and be signifi can tl y reminds the B ERRYERS, t h e DE FALLoux, and their 'clique, that on the 18 Fructidor, when the Legiti matists were intriguing and conspiring against the first Republic, the Directory crushed the treasonable conspiracy by seizing 53 of the, conspirators, with Picaacau at their head, and deporting them ; an act which was approved of by all France. He concludes by recommending the PRESIDENT to propose a repeal of.the Electoral Law of the 31st May—that is, a return to universal suffrage, and to appoint a really Repub lican Ministry. M. EMILE DE GIRARDIN has a long article in the Presse on the intrigues of the Monarchists, which he concludes in the following terms : " The Republic will not beroverturned, for to be so, monarchy should be re-established. But it is all over at present in France with the monarchy, for it could not there resume its course, four times interrupted, except in going back at least to 1750. A. whole century fallen to ruins does not spring again into lif e . If Ch ar l es 11., brought back by Monk in 1659, could again raise up the throne in the place of the block on which the head of Charles I. fell in 1649, the reason was that in England only a king fell. The institutions remained standing ; the British aristocracy, the inequality of property, the regime of substitutions had survived the protectorates of Oliver and Richard Cromwell. But is it so in France, where the right of the eldest son has been abolished, where equality of division in the property left has become part of the system, where the hereditary aristocracy has disappeared? The impossibility of re-establishing the monarchy is equivalent to the impossibility of over turning the Republic. No, it will nut be overt urne d , because it could not be reduced."

It is said that the Government will propose Senor MAYANS as President of the Chamber of Deputies. The Narvaez party will propose Mom. PORTUGAL. The Madrid Ileraldo states that SALDANHA has addressed the following proclamation to the inhabi tants of Lisbon : " Inhabitants of Lisbon!—The flag which I have had the honour to unfurl is so eminently national that as soon as it was known that flag was adopted in all parts of the kingdom in the most sincere, frank, and decided manner. Let us consolidate the throne of her Majesty the Queen Donna Maria 11. and her dynasty; let us re form the constitutional charter; let us have really free elections, in order that we may be enabled to have a truly national representation, and justic e, liberty, immorality, corruption, and economy, i n th e pl ace o f t h e corruption, and robbery that have been proclaimed as the theory of Government.

Private advices from Rio Janeiro say—" The Go vernment is perilling its very existence in its efforts to suppress the slave trade. The once notorious slave steamer the Serpente (now the Golfinho of the Brazilian navy) has made several captures. Last week she car ried off 200 newly-imported negroes of Marambaia. They are supposed to have belunged to Joaqmin Breves, Is. the well known and opulent slave-dealer. This man is 4 84 % the owner of ten large farendas, and the master of some 2,500 slaves.

HERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCHELL.) V. LOFTUS. This was an action brought to recover of the defendant, Major Loftus, the sum of 5161. 18s. 3d., as premiums paid by the plaintiff on policies of insurance on the life of the defendant, which had been assigned to plaintiff, defendant consenting to pay the premiums as they be came due. Evidence was adduced to show that arrears were due to the amount claimed and had been paid by the plaintiff. The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed. FALSE IMPRISONMENT—GRAFTON v. WILTON. This was an action to recover damages for false im prisonment. Defendant having suffered judgment to go by default, the present was for inquiry to assess damages. It appeared by the evidence that plaintiff was a ser vant girl, in the service of a gentleman named Burgess, who was residing at plaintiff's house, at Kingsland, until a house which he had purchased opposite was com pleted, and during the time defendant, who was of eccen tric habits, frequently complained of being robbed, and had made allegations against many persons. Few per sons appeared to have given much credence to her stato ments, or accounted for the loss by the defendant invit ing water-cress girls and others into the hcuse. Mrs. Burgess, who was called, proved that defendant had given the girl in charge for stealing a shawl and some trinkets, but as she (Mrs. Burgess) did not doubt plain tiff's honesty, she retained her in her service notwith standing the charge; but on a previous occasion she (Mrs. Burgess) had discharged a charwoman, who de fendant alleged had robbed her. Plaintiff had said that defendant stole the witness's coals, and that appeared to rankle in defendant's mind. The plaintiff was take❑ before the magistrates, and discharged immediately after her father's house had been searched. The jury, after a short deliberation, gave a verdict for 101. damages. ---- MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY ) George Collins and William Collins, William Stapleton and William Holdsworth, Henry Fame, John Darhc, end John Gore, who were severalty convicted of common nuisance, by keeping wharfs in the parish of Padding ton, for the collection and accumulation of dust and manure, &c., were called on their bail to receive judg ment.

The Oregon accounts announce the discovery of a vein of coal on the Cowlitz river, eighteen miles from g% its junction with the Columbia, and about one mile from the main Cowlitz. The vein is two feet thick and about half s, mile in width, fifteen feet above high water mark, and about forty feet below the surface of the bluff mountain. Governor Ogden, of the Hudson Bay Com pany, at Vancouver, sent a boat and crew to bring a quantity away, that it may be fairly tested. di a . Many of the citizens of Oregon had gone to the els. Klamath and other mines in that vicinity. We see from the Oregonian that gold mines have been discovered north of the Columbia river, near the coast. The editor had seen a letter from a respectable source, stating that the Indians had brought in a considerable quantity of gold dust, and represented that there was much more left. But this wants confirmation, as the Oregonians have discovered gold before in this way.

The quar ters of the schoolmasters will be on the right, and of the schoolmistresses on the left, and on an elevation in the centre will be placed a clock.

Scott, Elmy, and Pargeter, proceeded to a house, No. 7, St. James'saplace, Chapel-street, Shoreditch. They found the front door open, a female being engaged cleaning the steps leading thereto. Having entered the house, they soon discovered that they were on the right scent, and in a back room they discovered a copper still erected, and charged ready for commencing the process of distillation. Another copper still was in the room, but this was unset, and was evidently intended for the purpose of rectification of the spirits produced from the other still. Upon going into the place they discovered a matt engaged in setting molasses wash for working, who was immediately taken into custody, and who gave the name of Henry Montague. The officers found a small quantity of spirits forty per cent. over proof, about a hundred gallons of molasses wash, that was destroyed, and the usual description of atensils. A communication for the discharge of the waste wash had been made from the cellar to the common sewer, in a very ingenious manner, by means of a surreptitious pipe, and the whole place was ad mirably adapted for carrying on the trade. The whole was conveyed to Broad-street warehouses. The following paragraph, from the Southern Cross (published at Auckland, New Zealand) of the 31st of De cember, illustrates the effect of the Californian traffic in altering the route of communication with the Austrian colonies. The vessel alluded to is owned by a Liverpool house, and had previously performed some remarkable voyages. In the present instance, as the sailing distance between San rancisco and Auckland is estimated at not less than 6,000 miles, she must have kept up a speed of 207 miles a day throughout that passage:—" On Saturday last our citizens were startled by an extraordinary 'Novelty,' the barque of that name having arrived in port from San Francisco in the short space of twenty-nine days, and bring ing London news of th e 2d and New York news to the 14th of October. Here is another and a _remarkable testimony to the change in our geographical poti tion which the Panama route is certain eventually to effect,. since with all the circuits and delays of American and Calif brnian transmissions, we have been put in possession of European intelligence in the hitherto unprecedented apace of ei, ghty-seven days." A FAT FRENCHWOMAN.— •A few days since a female, only 25 years of age, died at the Hotel Di eu , appa rently from no oth er complaint than her extreme obesity. Without any known cause, and without any change in her usual regimen, which, moreover, - was not very nourishing, she became so fat in four years as to be incapable of moving about. She weighed nearly 4501b5. Galignani's Messenger. QUIN's INCOHERENT STORY.:—Quin is said to have betted Foote a wager that he would speak some nonsense which Foote could not repeat off-ha nd after him. Quin then produced the following string of incoherencies :—" So she went into the garden to pick a cabbage-leaf to make heran apple-pie of! and a she-be ar com i s* g u p th e s t re et, put head into the shop and sa id, 'D o you sme ll an y so ap?'

DIECOVERY OF A NEW I'LA.NET..—Mr. J. Hind has just discovered another new ple.net in tpeconstellatio Sc)rpio, about eight degrees north of the ecliptic, the stars and form ic; at the time an equilateral triangle with Szorpii and Libra;. It ,is of a pale bluish . c t olouretgiaud ,an it di e. ts lizht is about equal to that of a star of the um h ra " -- with sense so subtly true From poisonous herbs extracts the healing dew." Thus in the Grub -street Author, laden down by calamities, steeped to the lip in squalor, grey in ignominy, spat upon in all men's estimation as the hireling traducer, the venal satirist, and the mer cenary pamphleteer, he has disclosed inexhaustible acr springs of v i r t ues th e most pure and elevated, o f endurance, of forgiveness, of self-sifice, of amen i ty, of hope even in the jaws of despair, of courage in the agonies of destitution and abasement. David Fallen, as painted by the master-hand of Sir Bulwer Lytton, David Fallen, hitherto generically regarded as the outcast both of society and of litera ture, h e nceforth, we believ e , b e i n some measure loved may if he be not actually respected, his conquest of temptation may secure sympathy if it do not abso lutely command reverence. Here is his own sorrow ful but bitter epitome of the miseries he had endured while sinking from the heights of the sublimest aspira tions down to the depths of a p enn i less obsc urity—.-i "Ilardnian.—You serve both Whig and Jacobite; do " Fallen. —Sneering politician ! what h I entered the world, devoted heart either and c cared to two causes —the throne of the Stuart, the glory of letters. I saw them both a no heritage but loyalty and apoet. My father left me had to levy troops for Icia learning. He sold all he 1 g Charles, and buried his gold in the red field of Marston Moor. Charles the Second praised nay verse, and I starved; James the Se- Kingcond praised m William— P ' y rose and I starved ; the reign of I passed that in prison ! Hardman.—B ut the ministers of Anne were gracious to writers. "Fallen,—Aud offered me a pension to belie my past life, and write Odes on the Queen who bad dethroned her own father. I was not then disenchanted—l re fused. That's years ago. If I starved, I had fame. Now came my worst foes, my own lellow-writers. What is fame but a fashion? A jest upon Grub-street, a rhyme from young Pope, could jeer a score of grey labourers like me out of their last consolation. Time and hunger tame all. I could still starve myself ; I h ave six children at home—they must live. " dman.—This man has genius—he might have been a grace to his age. Pm perplexed; Sir Robert— " Fallen.—Disdains Letters—l've renounced themfieanvee pays services like these. Well—l serve hi m . me; go!" Wellmay Hardman, the rising Member of Parlia ment, exclaim after these declarations o f the pamphleteer— Hardman (rising).—Not so bad as h e seems—ano therst side to the character: this moves m e; I ' ve been a p by a e humble bybribe:m aywhbautt writer mysel a f ima ß ; But ministert e remedy?corr t A at Patron then for Letters!—The public? —yes, for the Author, whose talents the Public may chance to appre ciate. And for those who, with toils as severe, but with genius less shaped to the taste of the many, can win not the ear of the day, why perhaps in some far distant age, when enough of the strong have dropped to death broken-hear te d , and enough of the weak (bowed down by the tyrant Necessity,) have veiled in shame and despair the eyes that once looked to the stars; these rival children of light may learn at last, that the tie they now rend should be the bend to unite them, and help one another." In a subsequent scene, where Wilmott, disguised as Curl], the bookseller, endeavours to bribe David Fallen to part with a calumnious manuscript by pro mising to hand over to him three hundred guineas— one of the most artistically conceived :and exqui sitely written portions of the comed—t unfortunate bookman vindi ca t es t h e innate goodness NOT SO BAD AS WE SEEM': cr, MANY SIDES TO A CHARACTER. A Comedy, in Five Acts." By Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton, Bart. Chapman and Hall. Under ordinary circumstances, our attention could not fail to be attracted by a new dramatic composi tion from the hand of this illustrious author, the poet novelist of our generation. Produced as the present comedy is, however, under auspices so remarkable in their character, and so beneficent in their tendency, it is impossible for the critic to do otherwise than welcome it with a very peculiar earnestness. After reading through the whole of this singular preduc tion, it remains no longer a matter of uncertainty as to whom individually writers and painters are alike indebted for the suggestion, end altimately also for the foundation, of the Guild of Art and Literature. In many generous sentiments,in many touching allusions,. in many e l eva t e d id eas, relating to the condit i on o f the unsuccessful labourers at the desk and at the easel—sentiments, allusions, and ideas scattered pro fusely th roug h the pages here under consideration we may recognise the pulsations of that noble heart, in which this scheme of magnanimity may be said, in the first instance, to have originated. Whatever may have since been accomplished in the way of its pro' motion, whatever may henceforth be achieved with 3 view to its ulterior and perfect development, to Sit: BULWLR LYTTON will belong the glory Of having elicited these timely tributes of sYni . pathy, and sometimes too of admiration. As con clusive testimony of this, we refer not so much to his grant of land to the projected institution, or to the circumstance of his having proposed the under taking to several of his distinguished contemporaries at a time when they were partaking of his hospitalities at Knebworth, as to the internal evidence afforded by the brilliant effusion just published. Without any' thing beyond a merely cursory allusion to the fact that the comedy before us was acted a few nigh since at Devonshire House (as the title-page itsell, records) in th e p resence o f h er Majesty and his Roya, Highness the Prince Albert, we shall restrict our ob• servations entirely to an examination of its dramatio efficiency and of its general characteristics as S' literary performance. Charles Dickens and his ama teur company will, we are rejoiced to think, find adequate recompense for their exertions, not so much' in the applause accorded to the display of their his trionic abilities as in the remembrance that they were the foremost among the supporters of the scheme submitted to them for acceptance or refusal by out gifted dramatist. Were any tribute wanting to the exalted patrician who has already evinced so m uch solicitude for the furtherance of the undertaking, be• yond that flowing from his own conscience and front the appreciation of the more discerning multitude, it would be discoverable in the aspiration o gracefully expressed by Sir Edward in his simple but suggestive Dedication—" M a y each loftier Cultivator of Art and Letters, whom the In' stitutiou established under your auspices may shelter from care end penury, see on its cornerstone your princely name, and perpetuate to distant times the affectionate homage it commands from ourselves. 'With sueli emphatic acknowledgments of the share taken by others in the organization of the Guild, does its author preface the dramatic work which is destined to be the germ of its resources. Nothing, we are bold to say, could by possibility be more ad • mirable than the conception of the comedy; and the manner in which that conception has been bodied forth is in a very great measure of commensurate excellence. Those who may erroneously imagine that the same masterly delinea tion of female character which has embellished the previous dramas of Sir Bulwer Lytton may be per: ceived in the composition now lying under review, will, of course, as it were by necessity, meet only with disap pointment. In extenuation of this should be remem bered the circumstance that the play has been penned for the especial advantage of a body of amateur come dians, and that consequently but little opportunity presented itself for the gratification of this skill in poetic portraiture. The various abilities of the play wright have, nevertheless, in no other particular failed in their most complete and most satisfac tory manifestation. Upon the principal personages among the very numerous and motley dramatis persona, an extraordinary amount of energy, of passion, and of world-knowledge has been expended. The construction of the plot reveals an undiminished facility of invention, or rather, we might say, an in genuity of contrivance which practice has perfected to an adroitness absolutely incomparable. London has been wisely selected as the scene of the incidents, and those incidents are comprised within the narrow but ample compass of little more than from afternoon to afternoon. By choosing the reign of King George I. as the date of his comedy, the dramatist has enabled himself to depict one of those literary unfortunates who were the objects alternately of Steele's pity and despair, or of Pope's contempt and indignation. David Fallen will rank henceforth among the most memorable creations of that Genius who has called into being, among a multitude of others, such ideal existences as ZS/13011i the Rosicrucian, as Dali bard the Schemer, ,as Brandon the Man of Ambi tion, and Pelham the Man of Fashion—minds like those of the eccentric: Warner, the reckless Clifford, the vulgar Copperas, and the dreaming Maltravers. The lesson which Sir Bulwer Lytton has undertaken to teach in the five acts of this admirable comedy is of a nature as hiunanizing as the indirect pur pose of the comedy is benevolent. He endea vours—and his endeavour is charmingly successful throughout —to show that we, the people of society, the units in an artificial aggregate, the children of an elevating but often effeminating civili zation, are Not so Bad as We Seem, or, as the second title more directly and emphatically intimates, that there are Many Sides to a Character. Like this globe of ours on which we live, rolling through space half in light and half in darkness, the circle of our own na tures is chequered by peculiarities as arresting in vi vidness, and the conskleration of which is as inte resting to the humanitarian as that of the former is to the student of ethics and astronomy. Inspired by this beneficent reflection, Sir Bulwer Lytton has contrived to reveal in the most despised and appa rently the most despicable those traits of goodness which are in each of us the rem nants of that divine talisman, blurred and broken it may be, our Similitude to the Divinity.
