"regularly sold" by the New York Herald, and that suspicion ripened into certainty on reading, in the next . Rlage, 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 witball to try and have the l a st wo rd, a n d thereby, re spect be it spoken, to write itself down Herald,ain kindredtbe animal to honest DOGBEERT. The t l h as a t t ial th p e ressn effusion ioslhi' t c o h has wbio r b ea s c o he m d u E ob ur i o m pe, por a t n an n e o e un w c a e sa House-square, was — as it given in Printing " a slight missile sent but, with needed no ghost from from a th p e lay g f r u a l v b e an t d o ,,, tell us— a an ad b m it i e rab in le t g b r e avi e t a y m , e ba g it u s iurttserhwoobkereagiaitnhafaori:nthoe tner first instance been so successful. And our contempo rary, w ith some degree of ponderous jo cu l ar i ty, la . hours 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 courage up, while looking backward and forward to see some frightful spectre at every turn." 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 offa note instanter for 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-ex•ortion 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 Fork Rerad 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 hear 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." it!) . * . " 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."

THE S T N, LONDON, THURSDAY EVENING, the lovely, the graceful, and the beautiful, and in a worship of the hideous, the awkward, and the un natural. 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. Roouroar 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- Rapbaelism are but different stages of the same disease, is, we think, abundantly evident. THE SHARE MARKETS BRITISH RAILWAYS. Railways. THE FRENCH REPUBLIC, vy e have received the Paris journals of yesterday. They all contain long articles on the question of the revision of the Constitution, one of the most re markable of which is by M. DB LAMARTINE. In that article he distinctly states that it was the Legitimatist Deputies who, on the 24th of F e b ruary , 184 8, 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 he significantly reminds the B EERYERS , th e DE FALLOCX, 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 PICIIEGRU 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 t 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 be overturned, 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 life. If Charles 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. Tile 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 equali'y of division in the property left has become part of the system, where the hereditary aristocracy has disappeared? The impossibility of re-establishing the reor.archy is equivalent to the impossibility of over turning the Republic. No, it will nut be overturned, because it could not be repbc:rd."

Madrid journals of the 16th have arrived. The elections are over, and the majority returned are Ministerialists. It is said that the Government will propose Senor MAYANS as President of the Chamber of Deputies. The Narvaez party will propose MOl'7. PORTUGAL. The Madrid .Heraldo 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 justice, liberty, immorality, corruption, and econ om y, in the place of the corruption, end robbary that have been proclaimed as the theory of Government. "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 be punished. 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 bo respected. " The Duke of SALDANHA. " Head-quarters, Oporto, May 9, 1851." The same journal contains the following account Of SALDANHA'S movements :- -- "On the 6tk the Marshal went, with the 9th and 14th Regiments of Infantry, a battalion of the 13th, and the Chasseurs, to Coimbra, where ho 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 Ist, sth, and 7th Chasseura, the Ist, 2d, and 6th Infantry, and the Queen's Grenadiers. The Duke 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, since even his own father voted against him. General TzlvELLus, 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." Never has the truth of the old adage, " extremes meet," been more clearly exemplified than in the cases of Mr. GUSTAVUS ROCUFORT CLARKE, the Iconoclast, and Messrs. MILLAIS, HUNT, and COLLINS, the Pre- Raphaelite brethren ; not more naturally does Pro tectionism, when carried out, run into Socialism (witness the speeches of BUSFEILD FERRAND and the letters of RICHARD OASTLEE passim) than does Clarkeism run into Pre-Raphaelism. Mr. ROCHE 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. lie upon p r i nc i p l e o bj ects to the represen tation either i n mar bl e or b y pa i nting of "the likeness of anything th a t i s i n t h e h eavens above, or in the earth beneath, o r i n th e wa t ers un d er the earth."

A letter from Romo says that every day brings a new event. On 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. Fire-arms, 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 Vin 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 Inst ruc ti on 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 a n d so ldi ers of the corp s o f ve t erans an d 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 11 to 11' 31( - 4 10 —lO% .. - .. 77 -79 1N - 133 20 -21 19 dis. . . he Railway& Paid.

CITY, TWO O'CLOCK. The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were es timated at 5,000 bales, of which 1,000 American were taken for exportation. The sales comprised 4,000 American, 300 Pernam and Maranham, at bid. 200 Egyptian at 7d. to Bid., and 600 Surat at 32d. to 44d. per lb. The market was heavy at previous rates. —ln the Railway Share Market there was an alarming panic, and prices of all the leading stocks fell 4 to 5 per cent., but improved towards the close at better prices. The quantity of home-grown Wheat sold in the English markets last week was 75,271 quarters. 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 cff 200 newly-imported negroes of Marambaia. They are supposed to have belonged to Joaqmin Breves, the well known and opulent slave-dealer. This man is the owner of ten large farendas, and the master of some 2,500 slaves. His large possessions give him great po litical icfluence, and the seizure of his slaves shows plainly the energy and determination of the Govern ment." Accounts from the Sandwich islands state that the volcano Kilanea, the great crater of Mauna Kea, has recently had a strong eruption, and is still unusually active. Tho Oregon accounts announce the discovery of a vein of coal on the Cowlitz river, eighteen miles from its junction with the Columbia, and about one mile from the main Cowlitz, The vein is two feet thick and about half a 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 Van couver, sent a boat and crew to bring a quantity away, that it may be fairly tested. Many of the citizens of Oregon had gone to the 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. Tho 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. Indian gold stories are not the most reliable. The market for Public Securities has been very buoyant, and, contrary to the rumours circulated yester day, the Directors of the Back of England have made no advance in the rate of discount. Consols have advanced about per cent., and parties are buying for the divi dends payable in July. The quotations for Transfer have been 97* to 97i, and for Account, 97-a to 97i.

SHERIFFS' COURT.—(THIS DAY.) (Before Mr. Under-Sheriff BURCIIELL --- V. LOFTUS. This was an action brought to recover of the defendant, Major Loftus, the sum of 516/. 18a. 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 duo to the amount claimed and had been paid by the plaintiff. The jury gave a verdict for the amount claimed. FALSE IMPRISONMENT—GRAFT ON 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 state ments, or accounted for the loss by the defendant invit ing water-cress girls and others into the house. 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 taken before the magistrates, and discharged immediately after her father's house had been searched. The jury, after a short deliberation, gave a verdict for 10/. damages. MIDDLESEX SESSIONS. (THIS DAY ) George Collins and William Collins, William Stapleton and William Holdsworth, Henry Fume, John Darhe, and John Gore , who were severally conv i cted of common nuisance, by keeping wharfs in the parish of Paddin ton, for the collection and accu mu l at i on of dust angd manure, &c., were called on their bail to receive judg ment. But after a few remarks from the Learned Judge, sentence was deferred further to next sessions. William Enser, a middle-aged man of respectable ap. pearance, wax convicted of corruptly taking a reward for the restoration of a stolen dog, and was sentenced to three months' imprisonment under the late Act.

SEIZURE OF AN ILLICIT DISTILLERY.—Yesterday morning the detective officers of Inland Revenue, Messrs. Scott, Elmy, and Pargeter, proceeded to a house, No. 7, St. James's.place, 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 man 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 utensils. 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 distan ce between San Praneisco 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 the 2d and New York news to the 14th of October. Here is another and a remarkable testimony to the change in our geographical position which the Panama route is certain eventually to effect, since with all the circuits and delays of American and Californian transmissions, we have been put in possession of European intelligence in the hitherto unprecedented space of eighty-seven days." A FAT FRENCHWOMAN.—A few days since a female, only 25 years of age, died at the Hotel Dieu, appa rently from no other 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. Galigitani's Messenger. QUIN'S INCOHERENT STORY.—Quin is said to have betted Foote a wager that he would speak 501110 nonsense which Foote could not repeat off-hand atter him.

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 prcduc thee, it remains no longer a matter of uncertainty as to whom individually writers and painters are alike indebted for the suggestion, and altimately also for the foundation, of the Guild of Art and Literature. In ninny generous sentiments,in many touching allusions, in many elevated ideas, relating to the condition of the unsuccessful labourers at the desk and at the easel—sentiment s , allusions, and ideas s c attered pro fusely th roug h the pages here under consideration — we may recognise the puleations 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 a view to its ulterior and perfect development, to Sir 13ULWER LYTTON will belong the glory of having elicited these timely tributes of sym 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 Kichworth, 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 nights since at Devonshire House (as the title-page itself records) in the presence of her Majesty and his Royal Highness the Prince Albert, we shall restrict our ob servations entirely to an examination of its dramatic efficiency and of its general characteristics as 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 our gifted dramatist. Were any tribute wanting to the exalted patrician who has already evinced so much solicitude for the furtherance of the undertaking, be yond that flowing from his own conscience and from the appreciation of the more discerning multitude, it would be discoverable in the aspiration co gracefully expressed by Sir Edward in his simple but suggestive Dedication—" May each loftier Cultivator of Art and Letters, whom the In stitution established under your auspices may shelter from care and penury, see on its corneanstone your princely name, and perpetuate to distant times the affectionate homage it commands from ourselves." With such 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 persone, 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 afterncon. 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 Zanoni 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 humanizing 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 consideration 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. Affording in this manner a new and exquisite illus tration of the power by which the true poet, like the bee, "-- 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 springs of virtues the most pure and elevated, of endurance, of forgiveness, of self-sacrifice, of amenity, 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, may henceforth, we believe, be in some measure loved if he be not actually respected, his conquest of temptation may secure sympathy if it do not abso lutely command reverence.

If I starved, I bad fame. Tny came my worst foes, my own fellow•writers. What is fame hut a fashion?

But the remedy ? A state may but , humble by alms; a minister corrupt b y a bee b :what Patron then for Letters!—The public? —yes, for the Author, whose talents the Public may chance to appre ciate.
