W. Daniel, Esq., R.A., died on the 16th, at Breck-
nock-terrace, New Camden Town, after four months of
extreme suffering. In him the Academy has lost one of
its brightest ornaments, and society a most amiable and
kind-hearted man. To his indefatigable industry and ver-
satile talents, the Literary Gazette has ever borne ample
testimony. His pictures, in the last exhibition of the Royal
Academy, have never been surpassed by any of his best
performances. His exertions on that occasion were great,
and met with deserved approbation. Besides the Pano-
rama of Madras, painted conjointly with Mr. Parris, and
that of the Island of Ceylon, and the Capture of the
Elephant by himself, the works of Mr. Daniel, in " The
Oriental Annual," and other publications, are before the
public, to a greater extent than those of any other member
of the Royal Academy, with the exception of the late
Thomas Stothard ; and, like him, his talents were the
union of grace and design. His age was 68. His uncle,
who is now living, is 88.—Literary Gazette.
LAUGHTER.—If you were to ask a learned physi-
cian to explain to you the peculiar sensation termed
laughter, it is more than likely he would astonish you with
an amazing profundity of erudition, ending in the sage con-
clusion that he knows nothing more about the matter than
that it is a very natural emotion of the senses, generally
o -iginating with a good joke, and not unfreqwmtly terminat-
ing in a fit of indigestion. If he happened to be (as there
are many) a priggish quack, it is not unlikely he would add
as a sequel, that it was a most injurious and unmannerly in-
dulgence, particularly favouring a determination of blood
t) the head, and decidedly calculated to injure the fine
nerves of the facial organ. If, on the contrary, ho should
be a good, honest follower of Galen, he would not fail to
pronounce it the most fearful enemy to his profession, as
being altogether incompatible with physic and the blues,
and, by way of illustration, he might go so far as to read a
chapter of Tom Hood's best, in order to prove the strength
of his position. Laughter—good, hearty, cheerful-hearted
laughter—is the echo of a happy spirit, the attribute of a
cloudless mind. Life without it were without hope, for it
is the exuberance of hope. It is an emotion possessed by
man alone—the happy light that relieves the dark picture
of life.—Bentley's Miscellany for August.
FRUIT.--It is almost worth a day's travel to visit
our fruit market on Fridays this month ; the variety is so
extensive, the quantity so abundant, and the price so very
low. Those who are accustomed to pay fivepence and six-
penc a pint for strawberries will be surprised to learn that,
they are selling in our green market as low as two pints for
three halfpnce ! Gooseberries and blaeberries are equally
cheap.--4 sercleen Herald.
