ALBERT SMITH ON MONT BLANC.

Does anyone wish to pass a thoroughly delightful and ex-
hilarating evening? Let him attend the lecture spoken at the
Egyptian-hall by Albert Smith, descriptive of his already
celebrated ascent of Mont Blanc. Yesterday it was our good
fortune to be present on the occasion of its first delivery, and
very seldom have two hours and a half slipt away more
pleasantly than those occupied by the account of the Alpine
adventures of the novelist-traveller. Aided as the narrative
was by the exquisite pictorial illustrations furnished by the
hand of William Beverley, even those who have scarcely
stirred a hundred miles beyond the lines radiating from the
central point of their fireside could follow in imagination
with all conceivable facility the movementsof the adventurer.
His introductory description of the migratory movements of
the world of London at the close of the season, when
managers were announcing positively the last performances
of opera or melodrama, and when "midnight monies" were
being voted at the tail of the session iu the lower House of
Parliament, gave ample promise of amusement—promise
such as was to the full and very speedily realised.
Away started the audience under the guidance
of the lecturer in his capacity as guide,
courier, or dragoman, aid the South-Eastern Railway,
Ostend,• Malines, the Rhine, Busle, Berne, and, Geneva,
into the midst of the beautiful and romantic scenery
of Switzerland : with all the chequered vicissitudes of the
journey summoned up to their fancy or their recollection, the
cries of the porters, the rattle of the train, the pitching of
the steamboat, "creaking like a great shoe," the babel
noise of the touters to the foreign hotels, and the blast of the
horn blown by the conductrur. How the people laughed at
the lest culled by Albert Smith from the Hotel Police Livre
des Voyageurs, the leaf filled up by the facetious contributor
—and no wonder! Every item was the signal for a roar—
Surname, " Robinson ;" Christian-name, "Jack;" profession,
" swell ;" age, " 213 ;" born at " Timbuctoo ;" from "Ken-
tucky" to " Bath !" After mentioning the departure of the
steamer at the end of the Lake of Geneva, there were al-
lusions to the associations of that lovely 1 cality with Vol.
taire, with Byron, with De Steel, with Kemble, and with
"the self-torturing sophist," Rousseau; not forgetting the
fat historian, Gibbon, and his flame, Agnes, and George
Colman's mention of their very ludicrous flirtation. Arrived
at Chilton, we were introduced, in its dungeon, to a group of
cockney and other tourists, such as Albert Smith alone could,
with equal humour, have delineated. There was Mrs.
Seymour, poor old lady, everlastingly troubled with
anxieties as to a black box missing from amongst
her luggage at the very outset of her journey,
and carrying desolation to its every pleasure as
effectually as Susan Nipper ever did to the toast of Mother
Pipchin. There was her enthusiastic niece, her painfully
enthusiastic niece, Miss Effingham, who admired everything,
liked Byron so much, loved poetry to such an extent, and
thought Tennyson's " Locksley Hall," or something else,
" stunning." Her definitions of " mild" and " fast" can't
soon, we conjecture, be forgotten. Mild, a young man un-
able to dance the valtz a deux temps, and fast losing your
chaperon at a horticultural fete. There was Mr. Peabody
Taylor, the gentleman from New York, who lamented the
long' incarceration of Lord Byron in the castle of Chilton,
until told that the poet had only sung of, and was not the
memorable prisoner, when he immediately accepts the cor-
rection as just, alluding to Byron tee one who had met with
an untimely end by being tied to the back of a wild horse,
from an equally insane comparison of the Lord of Newstead
with the Asiatic Mazeppa. Then, again, there was Mr. Hart-
ley, of the Foreign• office, who described his particular views
through the medium of a capital song bight, "The Young
English Traveller." Journeying on to Martigny, iu the
Vallais, by means of the char-a-banc, for the construction of
which most agonizing vehicle an extravagant recipe was fur-
nished by the lecturer, we were there intro-
duced to other travellers scarcely less amusing than
their predecessors, though one, the enthusiast who
traverses the continent collecting the noses of various statue.%
we recollect having been familiar with, already, thanks to
Douglas Jerrold, in one of his sketches, known as " Men of
Character." Miss Bunion, the well-remembered poetess,
described by Makepeace Thackeray, was well enough in her
way as a fanciful delineation, but Miss Bunion dwindles into
insignificance by the side of Albert Smith's Miss Potties,
described by him as "an elderly young lady," who shaves
her forehead to bring Out the intellect, and talks in a baritone
voice of the verses contributed by her to the Crochet magazine,
complaining bitterly of being stared at, in consequence, wher-
ever she moves
,through society, as though, within a single
week she had penned, off-hand, " Pickwick," and" Eothen,"
and the " Scarlet Letter," and five or six volumes of Punch.
Among other things, it must not be forgot en, how the
Yankee Peabody Taylor calculates that the "Corsair"
wasn't, equal to "Evangeline," and that Byron would have
been "chewed up" in no time by Longfellow; or his mode
of securing to himself the attention of the most careless of
London waiters by throwing a wine glass in the air, so that
it smashes on the floor, when he is at once surrounded by half
a dozen ! The Legend of the Tower of Martigny, is a story
to hear from the lips of Albert Smith—from the Baron of the
olden times, who stamps his russet boots so frightfully that
he incomes invisible in a cloud of brickdust, and who not
only suspends his cash payments, but those who come in
hopes of receiving them, down to the inundation of the
valley by the bursting

next conducted to the convent of the Great St. Bernard,
being admitted even into the ghastly interior of the dead-
house provided for the remains of persons perishing by the
avalanches. Anecdotes were her, told, of course, of the win-
ter dangers of the pass, of the active humanity of the monks
(canons of Saint Benedict), and of the " real" services of the
dogs, not their imaginary sagacity. At the valley of
Chamouni we were made acquainted with several of the
roadside harpies and unmusical mountain melodies—the boys
vending fossils, who, if you don't buy their specimens, pelt
you with them ! the of t woman who jangles a tune to a terri-
ble nightmare of a broken-down harpsichord, ending all her
ineffectual musical appeals to charity with a " face ' and a
howl 1 together with other equal delectable eccentricities.
The rencontre with Mr. Pringle elicited shouts of laughter,
eliminating as it did from his knapsack the articles affec
tionately crammed into it to the sum total of halt a hundred-
weight, byhis sisters—articles such as a stone bottle for hot
water, and flasks of elder wine, and an interminable cabinet
in the way of amateur studies of mineralogy. Thereupon the
audience heard of the rush of all the tourists simultaneously
on the Paris post when they reached the picturesque town of
Chamouni—the first part of the lecture closing with a glorious
song about Galignani's Messenger. After an interval of ten
minutes' duration the entertainment (accurately so termed)
was resumed with an account of the original discovery of the
valley of Chamouni, of the yearly influx of visitors since
then, and of the English absurdities in the Livre des Voy-
ageurs—one of the most preposterous entries in which was
ludicrously said to have been copied out by a motley crowd
of admirers, including the names of his Grace the Duke, of
Thomas Babington Macaulay, of Louis Napoleon, and of
Moses and Son. Subsequently to this Albert Smith entered
into a detailed and enthralling narrative of the ascent of
Mont Blanc, not failing to allude especially to the circum-
stance of its having during the last thirty years
been one of his day-dreams, recently and happily
realised. As we presume, however, that the
vast majority of those interested in these adventurous pro-
ceedings have already devoured the lecturer's masterly paper
description of the whole ascent published in the February
number of Blackwood, we shall merely observe that the oral
was comparable to the written narrative in point of graphic
vividness. The wonderful cascade spouting out from its fall
like a gigantic feather, the chalet des Pelerins—illustrated
by the delightful incident of kissing the prettiest girl in
Switzerland—the Pierre Pointue, the Pierre a l'Eschelle,
the approach to the Glacier des Bossons, the Glaciers of the
Dead Chamois, and the,Vulture of the Alps, the dangerous
crevice in the Glacier des, Tacenay, the Grande Mulets,
rocks by sunset—being the scene of the night bivouac—the
grand plateau by moonlight, the hazardous ascent of the Mur
de Is Cote. and the approach to the summit of Mont Blanc—
were each and all wonderfully represented to the eye (both
physical and mental) of the auditors, respectively by the
novelist and the painter, the lecturer and the illustrator.
The whole description terminated with the return of the party
into the court-yard of Tiarraz's Hotel de Londres, at Cha-
=nal : agreeably
.followed by a record of the scenes occa-
sionally witnessed in a Paris café and a Paris theatre. The
manner in which all this is told, and sung, and mimicked,
and played, and chattered (literally), and joked—it would
be idle to attempt depicting. Those who have never heard
Albert Smith as a lecturer should do so, it it were only to know
the meaning of the most delightful of " fast men,"—one who
is not a tore, but a boon companion. In his present lecture
he performs a variety of eccentric movements, such as would
have puzzled the imitative adroitness of the admirable
Crichton—now blowing a blast on a horn ; now rattling his
fingers over the piano, accompanying it at intervals with a
pedal movement of bells; now grinding the dismalist or the
drollest of airs on a hurdygurdy ; now jangling the

A PENNY A DAY! —WHAT IT CAN DO'
(From Eliza Cook's Journal,)
A penny a day is a very small 81101,—only the
of an ordinary Klass of beer or half the prico of a good
glass of stout. You would scarcely expect to get mach
for a penny a day,—or that for FO ttifillig an ofeonn"
you can get anything worthy of consideration.
But everything depends upon how the penny is pent.
Spend it on a glass of beer, and what do you get? "4'
the pleasure is gone almost as soon as the beer is im-
bibed. You get next to nothing for your money. price
Let us see. however, what a penny a day, thoughtftill,
expended, will do towards securing a man's independence'
and providing against poverty and want.
But can it do anything worthy of notice in this way?
