Mr. Bunn's late entertaining work on the Stage " forms the subject of some equally enter taining critical comments in the August number of this Magazine. So inveterate a party-man, how ever, is the Reviewer, that, even while discussing theatrical topics, lie cannot avoid introducing poli tics, and launches many a sarcasm at the present Government, which he seems to hate with all the virulence of a parson`disappointed of preferment. Can it be that he looked forward to a snug, sleepy, cathedral sinecure, and has had his pious and dis interested expectations cut short in the flower of their youth by the " Ecclesiastical Revenues " Bill ? We feel strongly inclined to think that he is suffering uuder some such disappointment ; for, otherwise, he would never dream of at tributing the decline of the drama to the " working of the Whig system !" Free trade, lie assures us, has been the ruin of the stage. This is logic equal to that which attributes the forma tion of the Goodwin Sands to Tenterden steeple. The truth is, the drama has declined because, since Kean's death, there has been no actor of sufficient eminence to sustain it ; and it would not at all ,sur prise us, were both the great theatres to-be-al:toil'''. turned into Conventicles for the accommodation of the godly. The Reviewer's passing , remarki or; Kean are excellent, though we are 'far frove,rating the histrionic art so highly as he appears do. A very moderate amount of intellect suffices to make a superior actor ; indeed we 'khovv of no profession in which sterling irtind:.is so little required. " Ten Thousand a Nail contains one or two striking scenes, but _- 134 usual, they are too much spun out. There is con 4 siderable pathos in the description of Mr. Aubrey's departure from the home of his ancestors. The " Tobias Correspondence" is rather heavy this month, but an author cannot be always on the broad grin, unless indeed he be some such des perate wag as Tom Hood. In the notice of the " History of the Celtic Language," occur several masterly specimens of grave irony, which are the more effective, inasmuch as they seem to have slipped out quite unconsciously. Referring to an observation made by the historian, Mr. M'Lean, that " if we would contemplate the human family in its infant state, we must contemplate man as naked," the Reviewer archly and quietly adds : The truth of the proposition is less remarkable than its adaptation to the author's purpose. If we must contem plate man as naked, how is this to be done? The usages of ordinary society are unfavourable to such contemple. tions ; and the natives of Australia can only be reached by " turning our backs upon this hemisphere," not figura tively, but in earnest. But we are not, therefore, to des pair. If we cannot contemplate man in a state of absolute nudity, we must be content to take him in the nearest approximation to it that circumstances admit ; aud, for tunately for philology, the costume of our Celtic country men enables us, with little trouble, and at less expense, to prosecute our discoveries in this direction as far as the most enthusiastic inquirer would desire. By this means, we are exempted from the necessity of a priori specula tions, where the opposite mode of argument is so fully il. lustrated and so constantly suggested by all that we see. Mr. M‘Lean'S reasoning on this subject is quite irresisti ble. The object to be attained, is an exposition of the original state of man, of which nudity was a fundamental feature. It is undeniable that this element is more con spicuous in the country of the kilt than among the wearers of inexpressibles, and thus as the Celts approach the nearest to Adam in dress, so it must be presumed they do also in dialect. . . . Mr. M'Lean need not—as his Reviewer suggests —travel so far as the Highlands in order to con template man in the picturesque condition of figleafed Adam, for if he will only take the Port. patrick steam-boat to Ireland, he will find abund ance of men walking abroad in all the beauty of unsophisticated nature. " A Second Chapter of Turkish History" will furnish the reader with in formation which it is probable is wholly new to him. The Number concludes with an intelligent essay on the Fine Arts. NE TV MONTHLY MA GA Z The Marquis of Londonderry again I There is really no end to the accomplishments of this myriad-minded peer. One time we find him figuring , as an orator in the Lords; at another, as an im perfectly developed Russian Ambassador ; this day he comes forward as an historian ; the next, as the King of a Tournament ; and now, behold, he steps forth as a contributor to the New Monthly Mag,a zinc ! And ably---to do his Lordship justice---he plays his part in this last capacity, for his Journal of a Tour to the South of Spain " is among the best articles in the Number. Nothing can exceed the good humour of its tone, or the graphic spirit of some of its descriptions, and the unconscious sim plicity of others. In a few brief sentences he has conveyed to us a livelier idea of Cadiz than we have yet had, notwithstanding that so many hundreds of tourists have been hammering away at the subject. His account of the young Queen of Portugal is also a very relishing 77201TCa11. " Who Wants a Wife," though intended to be sprightly, degenerates too often into staid gravity. The writer, whimsically enough, observes, that the late matrimonial example set by the Queen, will set young John Bull billing and cooing for months to come ; and adds " the Greek jest tells of a man who was ashamed to meet his physician, because he had not lately had a fever ; and we think that the bachelor will be less than modest, who shall dare to present himself at Court, unless he is notoriously engaged,' and the writings are in the lawyer's hands." The " Life and Adventures of Charles Chesterfield" promise well ; but it is too early yet to form a de cided opinion. Mrs. Trollope has scarcely yet crossed the threshold of her narrative. The Illus tration, ;,by Buss, contains a spirited full-length figure of an old woman who—as we infer from the countenances of her listeners—is telling a long, and somewhat sleepy, story. " On Consumption" puts forth some serviceable practical hints on the sub ject of this prevalent malady. "La Gitana" is a passable tale, of just the sort that we meet with in Magazines. " A Chapter on Black Dogs," is by Douglas Jerrold. It is worthy of his terse and vi gorous pen. Tom Hood contributes two humo rous poems, from one of which—" Pompey's Ghost"-----we quote the opening stanzas : 'Twas twelve o'clock, not twelve at night, But twelve o'clock at noon ; Because the sun was shining bright And not the silver moon. A prop:r time for friends to call, Or Pots, or Penny Post; When, lo 1 as Phoebe sat at work, She saw her Pompey's Ghost Now when a female has a call From people that are dead ; Like Paris ladies, she receives Her visitors in bed. But Pompey's Spirit could not come Like spirits that arc white, Because he was a Blackamoor, And wouldn't show at night But of all unexpected things That happen to us here, The most unpleasant is a rise In what is very dear. So Phoebe screamed an awful scream, To prove the seaman's text ; That after black appearances, White squalls will follow next. " Oh, Phoebe, dear 1 ob, Phathe, dear Don't go to scream or faint; You think because I'm black I am The Devil, but. I ain't I Behind the heels of Lady Lambe I walk'd whilst I bad breath : But that is past, and I am now A-walking alter Death !" BENTLEY'S MISCELLANY. We have here another of Tom Ingoldsby's Le gends, penned in his most mirthful mood. It is called the " Shropshire Bluebeard," and follows the favourite old nursery story pretty closely. 'I humour is as rich and unctuous as Liston s, and the rhymes are quite Hudibrastic in their quaintness and ingenuity. Since the days of Peter Pindar, we have had no such humourist as Tom Ingoldsby ; and, in one respect Tom far surpasses Peter, for lie has a fine poetical fancy, of which the latter was wholly destitute. The present chap ters of " Guy Fawkes " give us r ather too much of Dr. Dee and his conjurations. They are full of incident, however, and the dialogues are less stiff and formal than usual. Mr. Ainsworth im proves as he proceeds, but there is still too melo dramatic an air about his characters and descrip- PRICE sd. tions, as if he always wrote with an eye to the minor theatres. " John Bull Abroad"consists,f a cleverish sketch or two of this fine-natured, but somewhat cross-grained animal on the Continent. John, it seems, is still the butt of the Parisians, who pick his pocket, and then quiz him in the Charivari, by way, we suppose, of revenging themselves for our very rude behaviour to them at Waterloo. " Moral Economy of . Large Towns " is a sensible essay from the pen of Dr. Taylor, with whose life of Swift, prefixed to his late edition of " Gulliver's Travels"—the Dean's master-piece-- we have been greatly pleased. The Doctor as sesses Swift's private and public character at just the proper valuation. The " Cobbler and the Physi cian " is a droll story by Peake. " contrasts in the Life of a Poet" is an interesting Shaksperian miniscence, for which we are indebted to Mr. Moran, who says what he has to say in a spirited, unaffected manner. " The Fall of the House of Usher" is too long, considering that it does not rise above the dead Bedford Level of common place. " Gaspard de Besse" is something—but not much—better. " Journal of Old Barnes, the Pantaloon," introduces a whimsical account of the famous July re% elution. We extract his sketch of the two first day's proceedings : r -- -- - -` 1 .140411.Juir94.---Everybetly-i n a- pucker, because 'Ring Charles the Ten'.4, Prince Polignac, and Peyronnet, have token it in their heads to stop the liberty of the press. siw the populace go arid break the windows at the Treasury, and at Polignac's house.

He had no resource; and when the soldiers and populace began to fight in earnest, he had the pleasure to see the balls whizzing through the panels and glasses of each of his dillys. But, Lord 1 they took sofas, tables, rolling-stones, wheel-barrows, anything to block up the way; they unpaved the Rue St. Honore ; they put the lamps out.

In an Essay on the " Influence of Eloquence on English Freedom," which is here continued fr o m a former Number, the writer, commenting on the Parliamentary speeches of Burke, speaks of his conduct, as respects the French Revolution, in terms of decided reprobation, and even intimates his belief that he was influenced by pecuniary con siderations to take the cause he adopted. We cannot so think of a man who was remarkable for pride and elevation of character. We believe, on the contrary, that Burke's change of opinion was the result of his settled convictions ; and that as he had invariably opposed the power of the Crown when he thought that power excessive, so he felt it his bounden duty to uphold.it, when he imagined that its legitimate influence was declining. This —and not the vulgar consideration of pounds, shillings, and pence—we believe to have been the propelling cause of, what has been sneeringly called, his apostasy. With the writer's opinion of this great man's eloquence we cordially coincide. In deed, we will go further, and add that he was the most eloquent orator that ever existed ; for his was not the mere eloquence of words—a very ordinary accomplishment, and to be met with in the bar renest intellects—but of idea. Burke is one of those few sterling orators, of whom it may be said, that he never uttered a sentence without a meaning. His very metaphors have often more significance than the facts of other speakers. Let those who wish to have a taste of his quality read his speeches on " Economical Reform," and on the " Nabob of Arcot's Debts," and more particularly his " Letter to two Noble Lords," in which last production there is fancy and feeling enough to set up a dozen poets. " Illustrations of Napoleon" are dexterously versified, but we can give them no higher praise. Mr. Reade, the author, so far as we can judge, seems cursed with a poetical ambition above his capacity. He treats of lofty themes, but never writes freshly from his ow n i m p ress i ons , b ut f rom suggestions and recollections furnished by other poets. For instance, his stanzas on " Na poleon at Austerlitz" trundle off smoothly and trippingly enough ; but the leading idea— the only thing of value 'in them—is derived from a wild poem, translated from the German, en titled " Napoleon's Midnight Review." So was it with his elaborate " Italy," which was little better than a variorum edition of Lord Byron's fourth canto of Childe Harold. We must, however, do Mr. Reade justice. As a close and successful imitator, we prefer him to either of the authors of" Rejected Addresses." The cursory " Notes on New Books," merit praise for the cordial, off-hand spirit in which they are penned. But we protest against the writer's eulogiums on anglers and angling, which, as practised in our still English waters, is about the most insipid pastime that ever wasted the time of a rational being. In numerous instances that we could mention, a man goes sleepily sauntering all day along the borders of a river or brook ; gets no bite but a gnat-bite ; catches nothing but a desperate cold ; and possibly, at night-fall, when returning fatigued and dispirited to his inn, across some enclosed meadows, he is taken up for a poacher, and clapped in the black hole of the nearest town or village I This is a heavy penalty to pay for following the example of that old fool, Izaac Wal ton, whose pastorai twaddle it is just now the fashion to praise to the skies. The " Fair of Al tnachara," is a stirring description of Arabian merry-making. We quote a stanza or two : There, too, the Story-tellers, With long beards and bald pates, Most earnestly romancing Grave follies of the Fates, For which their crowded auditors Some Give of f the youthscoins a bags ,, do maidens f shad dates. Sweet tears, or turn quite pale ; But silence and the clouded pipe O'er all the rest prevail. Mark the Egyptian Sorcerer, in black and yellow robes! Ills ragged raven hair he twines Around two golden globes I And now he beats a brazen gong, Whirling about with shriek and song ; Till the globes burst in fire, Which in a violet spire, Shoots o'er the highest tent-tcps there, Then fades away in perfume rare , With music somewhere in the sky, Whereat the S orcerer seems to lie' Broad cymbals are clashing, And flyitig and flashing ! The silver bells ringing ! Gongs booming and swinging ! The Fair's at its height In the cool brilliant night While steams the moon's glory On javelins and sabres, And long beards all hoary, 'Midst trumpets and tabors— Wild strugglings and trammels Of leaders and camels, And horsemen in masses, 'Midst droves of wild asses— The clear gleams entrancing, The passionate dancing, 4 .rx .; •,) PORTSEA. o BE LET, for a term of years, with early possession, if required, that much-accustomed and well known TAVERN, the "MITRE," at PORTSEA.

Sheer wind, hollow humhug, absurd claptrap!: a silly mummery of dividing and debating, which does not in the least, however it may turn, affect his condition. It has been so ever since the happy days when Whigs and. Tories begun ; and a pretty pastime no doubt it is for both. August parties, great balances or British freedom; are not the tiro sides quite as active, and eager, and laud„ as at their very birth, and ready t 9 fight for place as stoutly a 3 ever they fought heroic ? But lo lin the mean time, whilst you are jangling and brawling over the ac.. counts, Populus, whose estate you have administered while he was an infant and cattle not take care of him self_Populus has been growing and growing, till he is every bit as wise as his guardians. Talk to our ragged friend. He is not so polished, perhaps, as a member of the Oxford arid Cambridge Club; he has not been to Eton ; and never read Horace in his life : but 'he can, think just as soundly as the best of yoil l the can speak quite* as strongly in his own rough way ; he has been reading all sorts of books of late yearS,' and gathered together no. little information. He is as gorid a Mail as the common: run of us; and there -are ten. million more men in the country as good as he—ten million, for whom we, in our infinite superiority, arc acting as guardians, and to whom, in our bounty, we give—exaetly nothing." The criticism on " R an k e ' s History of the Popes" is chiefly noticeable for the display of a hatred and dread of Popery worthy of a Protestant .Bishop. There is much that is ludicrous in this horror, for who does not know that the power of the Vatican—regarded as an influential authority in Europe—is already with the years beyond the florid ? Never again can Rome—Rome, that wonder-workin g sovereign, twice the mis tress of the world ; once, under the Empe rors, by force of arms, and once under the Popes, by force of superstition —never again can this majestic power hold mankind in thrall. Her energies are exhausted—lhe spells with which she worked her miracles have lost their moral in fluence—she is i a mere phantom—the wreck of what she once, .was. How absurd, then, to take fright at 'the idea of her regaining her former as. 'hull put Protestant England on its guard against such a flagrant impossibility " Epistle's - to the Literati" consist of two Let ters ; one on the subject of swearing, and one on the new project of the London Library. We are glad to see that Oliver Yorke appreciates this scheme as it deserves ; for it is calculated, if well conducted, to be of inestimable benefit to the read ing community. In '' Blue-Friar Pleasantries" we find some graphic accounts of our most popular places of entertainment in London. But why, in speakingof the chained eagle at the Z oo l og i ca l Gardens, does the writer expatiate on his dignity, and the noble expression of his eyes ? To our thinking, he is the most abject, unhappy-looking creature in ex- orrr- ,-4 istence, far too much ashamed of his lot to be stern or dignified—and no wonder, deprived as be is of the rough freedom of rock and mountain, tied for • life to a bit of stick rising about half a yard from ' the ground, and condemned a hundred times a day to be quizzed and Stared at by unsophisticated Cockneys, who, in his own hearing, express their astonishment and disgust that he is no . bigger lizar s a goose !

At Oxford lie took th.e s hi ne out of , a shoemaker not less th an. t l tree times, which-- his , as biographer quaintly assures us—" is creditable to botl", sides ;" and we have all read an anecdote of his hunting a bull at midnight half through Cumberland—a chase which, for months after\vards, the bull took so deeply to heart, that he never met the Professor, in the course of his Lake rambles, but he " sweated with rage," like Commodore Trunnion at the sight of an attorney. We subjoin Mr. De Quincey's sketch of the early career of this fine-hearted man and accomplished author : It whs at Mr. Wordsworth's house that I first became acquainted with Professor (then Mr.) Wilson, of Elleray. I have elsewhere described the impression which he mada upon me at my first acquaintance ; and it is sieliciently . known, from other accounts of Mr. Wilson (as for exam ple, that written by Mr. Lockhart in " Peter's Letters"), that he divided his time and the utmost sincerity of his love between literature and the stormiest pleasures of real life. Cock-fighting, wrestling, pugilistic contests, boat-racing, horse-racing, all enjoyed Mr. Wilson's patronage; all were occasionally honoured by his personal participation. I mention this in n o un f r i en dl y spirit toward Professor Wil son ; on the contrary, these propensities grew out of his ardent temperament and his constitutional endowments— his strength, speed, and agility; and being confined to the period of youth—for lam speaking of a period removed by five-and-twenty years--can do him no dishonour amongst the candid and the judicious. "Non lusisse pullet, i3edi 1V;71 incidere luduni." The truth was, that Professor Wit r son had in him, at that period of life, something of the o English chivalric feeling which our old ballad poetry agrees in ascribing to Robin Hood. Several men of genius have expressed to me, at different times, the delight they bad in the traditional character of Robin Hood : he has no reserro, blance to the old heroes of continental rorfiance in one im portant feature; they arc uniformly victorious; and drie gives even A tone of monotony to the continental poops fur, let theM involve their hero in what datigers they -linty, the reader stilt feels them to be as illusow as those w,bler menace au enchanter_an Astolpho, for instance, wirl, by one blast of his horn, can dissipate an army of Qpponersts. But Robin is frequently beaten: he never declines a Lila lenge ; sometime s he courts one ; and oecassionatiy be learns a les son f rom some proud tinker or missterful*eg gar, the moral of which teaches him that there are better men in the world than himself. What follows? Ili t h e , brave man angry with his stout-hearte antaonist betapse lie is no less brave arid a little stronger than himself? Not at all : he insists on making him a present, al giving him a `le euner a la .fourchetle, and (in cage he it disposed .4) take service in the forest) finally adopts him into his band of archers. Much the same spirit governed, io his earlier years, Professor Wilson. The " R o d an d the Gli" is a very agreeable notice of an amusing sporting work lately published.
