LITERATURE,

THE VIOLIN. Br GEORGE DUBOUFG.
album, London, 1838.

No lover was ever more enthusiastic in praise of his
mistress than is the author of this volume in exalting
the violin to the first place among musical instruments.
He has ransacked the world of literature, ancient and
modern, for proofs of its antiquity, and its high appre-
ciation by the most celebrated personages of . all ages
and nations. We recommend it to all fiddlers and
lovers 9f:fiddling. To prove to our musical readers
how worthy it is of their patronage, we extract from its
pages the following biographical sketch of the greatest
musician of modern times—Ole Bull :
" It chanced on a certain day, during the time when the
cholera was ravaging the French capital, that one of the nu-
merous diligenecs which were then wont to make their return-
journey, in an almost empty state, deposited, in the yard of a
coach-office, a young northern traveller, who came, after the
example of so many others, to seek his fortune at Paris.
Scarcely arrived at his twentieth year; he had quitted his fa-
mily, his studies, and Norway, the land of his home, to give
himself wholly up to a passion which had held sway within him
from his infancy. The object of this pervading passion was
music, and the violin. Deeply seated, active, and irresistible,
the bias had seized him when he quitted his cradle, ana had
never ceased from its hold upon him. At six years old he
would repeat, on a little common fiddle bought at a fair, all the
airs which he heard sung around him, or played in the street :
and, two years afterwards, he had astonished a society of pro-
fessional men, by playing at sight the first violin-part in a
quartett of Pleyel's—though he had never taken a lesson in
music, but had fqund out his way entirely alone. Destined af-
terwards by his family to the ecclesiastic life, and constrained
to the studies which it imposes, he had still kept his thoughts
fixed on his beloved violin, which was his friend, his compa-
nion, the central object of his attachment. At the instance of
his father, the study of the law became subsequently his un-
willing pursuit : and, at length, these struggles ended in his
yielding to the impulse of his love for the violin, and banishing.
himself from Norway, in order to devote all his days to the
cultivation of music.

"In the midst of a mourning city—a mere atom in the region
of a world—what is to become of the younr, artist? His ima-
gination is rich, but his purse is meagre whole resource
lies in his violin—and yet he has faith in it, even to the extent
f looking for fortune and renown through its means. Friend-
less and p;►t.ronlcss, he comes forward to be heard. At any
other moment, his talent must have forced public attention in
his behalf ; but in those days of desolation, when death was
threatening every soul around, who could lend his ears to the
charmer? Farewell fortune, farewell fame 1 The younr, ar-
tist is left alone in his misery—yet not quite alone, for his
cherished violin remains like a friend to console him. The
cup of bitterness was soon, however, to be completely filled.
One day, in returning to the miserable apartment he occupied
in an obscure lodging-house, he found that the trunk, in which
his last slender means were contained, had disappeared. He
turned his eyes to the spot where he had placed his violin
it was gone I This climax of disaster was too much for the
poor enthusiast, who wandered about for three days in the
streets of Paris, a prey to want and despair, and then threw
himself into the Seine

" But the art which the young Norwegian was called to
extend and to embellish, was not fated to sustain so deplorable
a loss. The hand of some humane person rescued him from
this situation. His next encounter seemed like another special
interposition of Providence; for he became the object of bene-
volent attention to a mother who had just lost her son through
the cholera, and who found in the young stranger so remark-
able a resemblance to him, that she received him into her
house, and, though possessed but of moderate means herself,
furnished relief to his necessities. The cholera in the mean-
time ceased its ravages, and Paris resumed its habitual aspect.
Supplied with bread and an asylum, and soon afterwards with
the loan of a violin, Ole Bull was again enabled to gratify his
devotion for music. By degrees his name began to be heard,
and he arrived at some small reputation. Thus encouraged,
he ventured the experiment of a concert; and fortune smiled
on him for the first time, for he gained 1,200 francs—a large
sum, considering the position in which he then was.
" Possessed of this unexpected, and almost unhoped-for,
little fortune, he set out for Switzerland, and went thence into
Italy.
" At Bologna, where his first great manifestation appears to
have been made, he had tried vainly to obtain an introduction
to the public, until accident accomplished what he had begun
to despair of. Full of painful emotion at the chilling repres-
sion which his simple, inartificial, unfriended endeavours had
been fated to meet with, he sat down with 'he resolution to
compose something ; and it was partly amidst a flow of obtru-
sive tears that his purpose was fulfilled. Taking up his in-
strument, he then preceeded to try the effect of the ideas he
had just called into life. At that moment, it chanced that
Madame Rossini was passing by the house in which his humble
apartment was situated. The impression mzde on her was
such, that she spoke in emphatic terms upon it to the Director
of a Philharmonic Society, who was in a critical predicament,
owing to some failure in a promise which had been made him
by De I3eriot and the syren Malibran. Madame Rossini's
piece of intelligence was a burst of light for the " Manager in
distress :" he had found his man. The artist was induced to
play before the dilettanti of Bologna, and his success was com-
plete.

"At Lucca, Florence, Milan Rome, and Venice, the im-
pression he made was yet greater and more decisive. On
each occasion he was recalled several times before the audience,
and always hailed with the utmost enthusiasm. At the Nea-
politan theatre of San Carlos, he was summoned back by the
public no less than nine times—thrice after the performance
of his first piece, and six times at the end of the second. It
was a perfect furore.
" Our Norwegian artist now revisited Paris under happier
auspices. Welcomed and introduced with eager kindness by
the composer of " Robert le Diable," he was several times
listened to with delight on the stage 'of the Opera, and ob-
tained the greatest success that had been known since the dis-
plays made by Paganini."
" Opinions are not agreed as 'to the extent to which Ole
Bull is to be considered an imitator of Paganini. It appears
certain that the example of the latter first led him to attempt
the more strange and remote difficulties of the instrument. It
was during the time of his distressed condition that he found
means to hear the great Italian artist, by actually selling his
last shirt, with the produce of which he joined the crowd in
the saloon of the French Opera. Every one around him, after
the electrifying strains of the magical performer, was exclaim-
ing that he had reached the farthest limits of what was possible
on the violin. Ole Bull (says the writer of the French ac-
count), after applauding like the rest, retired in thoughtful
mood, hiving just caught the notion that something beyond
this was yet possible ; nor did the idea cease to occupy his
mind, but gathered fresh strength during his rambles in Swit-
zerland and Italy, until it impelled him, at Trieste, to abandon
the old track, and resign himself to the dictates of his own
genius.
" In justice to Paganini, it must never be forgotton that he
was the first who established the principle of its being possible
to extract a variety of new effects from the versatile instrument
that had been supposed to have surrendered all its secrets to
the great antecedent Masters : and that his practice lent mar-
vellous illustration to what he had invented ; nor does the su-
premacy of Paganini in the nouveau genre, for the reasons pre-
viously touched upon in these pages, seem likely to be seri-
ously shaken by any who may seek the encounter of a compa-
rison. It may certainly be averred, however, that, of all who
have attempted to follow him, Ole Bull has shown the greatest
aptitude for so difficult a task, and, owing to the fire and en-
thusiasm of his own temperament, has been decidedly the
farthest removed from servility, of the imitators who have tra-
velled in the track of the Genoese genius. Any comparison
with Paganini is, however, at the present time, scarcely fair
towards the Norwegian artist, when the great difference of age
and experience is considered, and when it is remembered that,
in the early practice of his instrument, instead of excitement,
Ole Bull had to encounter the opposition of adverse views ;
and instead of the open aid of a master, had only for his guide
the secret impulses of his own exploring mind. To speak of
him as he is, he must be acknowledged a man of fine genius,
who has forced his way through no common difficulties to a dis-
tinguished rank in the musical art, and who presents, to the
contemplation of the persevering student, one of the most
cheering of those examples which the history of human strug-
gles in pursuit of some absorbing object is so useful to enforce.
It must add pot a little to our admiration of him to find that,
in the mysteries of composition, he has discouered and shaped
his own course. The ingenuity of construction evident in the
orchestral accompaniment to his pieces would suggest a me-
thodical study of the harmonic art : yet it is said, on the con-
trary, that he is quite unacquainted with even the elementary
rules of that art ; and that it would puzzle him to tell the con-
ventional name of any one chord. How then has he arrived at
the power writing music in parts? He has opened a score,
studied it, thought over it, made a relative examination of its
parts after his own way, and then, setting to work, as the re-
sult of this process, has become a composer himself. In the
character of his compositions (as far as opportunity has yet
been afforded for judging of them) we may trace the effect of
this unusual and too self-dependent " moycn de parvenir," as
exercised by such a mind. They are impulsive and striking
—enriched with occasional passages of fine instrumentation,
and touched with sweet visitations of melody—but they are
deficient in coherence of structure, and the comprehensiveness
of a settled design. They may serve as fresh examples to
illustrate the old maxim—that genius itself cannot with safety
neglect that ordinary discipline which gives familiarity with the
rules and methods of art.

" The most surprisingthing (amounting almost to an enigma)
in connection with Ole Bull's powers of execution, is the very
small amount of manual practice which he states himself to be
in the habit of bestowing on the instrument—a thing quite at
variance with all the received notions, as well as usage, on the
subject. His labour is, it appears, in by far the greater part,
that of the head ; and a very limited application of the hands
suffices to " carry out" what he ex-cogitates—to work out his
purposes and " forgone conclusions." It sounds nobly, as a
proposition, that it is " the mind's eye," and not the blind
gropings of practice, that should show the violinist the way to
greatness, and give him the knowledge which is power : but,
alas ! common natures—nay, all that are not marvellously un-
common—fin(' it necessary to draw to the utmost on both these
resources, and cannot spare their hands from the neck of the
instrument. This comparatively trifling amount of manual cul-
tivation, however, while it remains on the whole " a marve 1
and a mystery," may be accepted as a proof in itself of how
little trick there is in Ole Bull's performance ; for the success-
ful display of tricks is essentially dependent on the most assi-
duous manipulation—the charlatanerie of the instrument being
the triumph of the hand, as distinguished from that of the

mind. To particularize the various merits which belong to
his execution, would lead beyond the limits here proposed.
His sweet and pure tone—his delicate harmonics—his frequent
and winning duplicity of notes and shakes—his rapid and exact
staccato, &c., might severally be dwelt upon in terms of delight
—hut brevity forbids. I cannot forbear referring, however, tc
the " ravishing division" of his consummate arpeygois, forming
a finely regulated shower of notes, rich, round, and most dis-
tinct, although wrought out by such slight undulations of the
bow, as to leave in something like a puzzle our notions of cans,
and consequence. To suit the wide range of effects which his
fancy dictates, it appears that he subjects his violin to some
kind of alterative process ; for which purpose he opens it (to
use his own expression) like an oyster.
" The manners and conversation of this young man bear an
impress of genius which it is impossible to mistake; and hi%
occasional sallies of enthusiasm serve to impart an increased
interest to the abiding modesty which tempers and dignifies his
character. In describing the state °ibis own mind, under the
immediate domination of musical ideas, be pictures it uncle:
the forcible figure of an alternate heaven and hell ; while he
speaks of the object and intention of his playing as being to
raise a curtain, as it were, for the admission of those around
him as participants in the mysteries open to himself. In his
habits he is very temperate, and wisely avoids wearing out, by
artificial excitements, the spontaneous ardour of his eminently
vital temperament. The flame of life burns brightly within him,
and lie wiil not feed it into a self-exhausting blaze.
" All the ordinary arts and intrigues by which it is so corn-
mon, and is thought so necessary, for men of smaller minds to
seek professional advancement, seem completely alien to the na-
ture of this child of the North. The neglect of these may have
served to retard for a while the dne publicity of his powers ;
but they are of an order to ensure independent success. An
extensive and brilliant reputation is before him." ,

THE CHRISTIAN; A POEM, in Eight Books.
BY JOilLdli PENNY!,..

Although this work has not been officially an-
nounced, we believe we are correct in stating that it
will shortly appear under the most favourable auspice?.
We offer no apology for presenting our readers with
the following extracts, which, however, convey but a
very inadequate idea of :the -structure of the poem.
On some future occasion—,and with less restraint—
we shall return to the subject :
Nast thou stood
Beside the margin of some noble stream,
Dark; deep, and terrible—whose onward course,
In regal solitude, the zephyr bowed
To greet, while on its bosom rolled the tint
Of summer skies, or clouds their shadows flung,
Portentous, o'er the spirit brooding there,
Beneath that voiceless tide—and bast thou marked,
How, hushed in silence, Nature's echoes seemed
Entranced, as by the magic of some spell,
And held in awe profound ? Reflected there,
As in Creation's mirror, lo I a God,
Unfathomable in his darkl designs—
Dark to the eye of sense—to reason dark,
And deep, and terrible. Yet onward still
That ever-glorious stream its pathway seeks,
Through trackless solitudes, though time bath seared
The landmarks of a thousand ages past—
Deeds unremembered, or at best retained
In mimic story—onward still, unlike
All earthly things, that stream, eternally,
Its unmolested, unexplored career
Pursues. Thus stood two fellow heirs of heaven,
Whose souls, twin-born, from out the sacred fount
Drank inspiration. * •
Days and months have fled,
And years their circles have revolved : and joy,
And sorrow, things of transient growth, are dead,
And numbered with the past. Yet by that stream
There lingers oft at evening tide a bard,
Whose silent harp, upon the willows hung,
'Tis said, retains its solitary home,
Though all its strings are broken, and the hand
That woke its music, wakes it now no more ;
And thus the story he would oft rehearse
Of him whom now we sing—whom God bath called
Away from meaner things to dwell in him.
Eternity ! alas, how few
Who aim at immortality, have gazed,
Eternity, on thee !—I who erewhile,
In nature's solitudes, remote from man,
As on the confines of some tribute sphere,
Looked calmly on the spirit's resting place—
Saw nought, beyond a dark and dreary waste,
With here and there a mute inhabitant
As dark and dreary as that last abode
Of deathless beings. Converse had they none.
So boundless was the sphere in which they ranged,
No bond was found to link companionship
In common sympathy. A thousand worlds
Their envoys sent, and earth had closed upon
Each fruitless expedition : yet there seemed
As many worlds upon the lap of time,
Awaiting the decree which empties all
Upon the ocean of eternity.
Time was the avenue through which they sought
Access to immortality : and thus
or others it endured, whose beating pulse
And racking brain pressed onward to the goal--
While these, the goal attained, their journey o'er,
Lived on a destiny unknown to man,
Of all, save consciousness, bereft. I gazed—
And life itself a closer compact made
With flesh and blood—so dark their doom appeared,
So terrible the frown upon thy brow,
Eternity would have given much
In those dark moments to persuade the 10111
That such was not her destiny. A fire
Commingled with the spirit's essence, and
The grave, which but conceals the grosser part,
Seemed ready to enshrine all—all—but that—
That never dying flame—as night enshrines
No orb, but in her mantle safely holds
A world entranced. I turned me to the skies—
Their ever shining spheres but mocked the gloom
Within me, and around. To earth I turned,
And fearful was the recognition. Earth,
In mute, stern triumph, claimed me for her own,
And jealous of the spoil, in fetters held
The spirit, whose adventurous flight provoked
Such awful retribution. *

As we have already said, these extracts, taken at
random, convey but an inadequate idea of the work
itself—they may, however, serve as a specimen of the
author's resources.

His Excellency Lord Mu!grave, after visiting the
Earl of Shannon, and other noblemen of the county of Cork,
will proceed to the Lakes of Killarney, to view the romantic
scenery of that delightful place, from whence he will return to
Dublin. Several of the English nobility are at preFent at the
Lakes, though the best time to visit them is the month of
September, when the mountain of the upper lake presents a
forest of arbutus trees growing from the fissures in the rocks,
while on the same tree are seen the leaves in bud, the fruit in
flower and half grown, together with the fruit arrived at ma-
turity and ripe, at the same time.
It is said to be in contemplation to send a Prelate
to Algiers with the tide of Bishop or Primate of Africa, and
that the Pope's Internuncio has declared his Holiness approves
of the measure, and will confer investiture upon the person
who shall be chosen by the French Government.—Galig-
nani's Messenger.
Extract of a letter from Rome, of the 2d instant :
" The Roman States are entirely free of cholera, and even of
all suspicion of it. Its progress in the Eastern parts of Lom-
bardy is exceedingly slow and insignificant. We hear of no-
thing new as far as regards cordons, excepting with the Duke
of Modena, who proposes isolating his dominions—a matter of
no great difficulty."

ARABIAN CAMELS.—" Talking with an Arab of
Saxe (says a traveller) on the subject of these fleet camels, he
assured me that he knew a young man who was passionately
fond of a lovely girl whom nothing could satisfy but some
oranges ; these were not to be procured at Mogadore, and as
the lady wanted the best fruit, nothing less than the Morocco
oranges would satisfy her. The Arab mounted his heirie at
dawn of day ; went to Morocco (about 100 miles from Moga-
dore) purchased the oranges, and returned that night, after
the gates were shut, but sent the oranges to the lady by a
guard of one of the batteries.
DEATH FROM INTOXICATION.—A woman hav-
ing undertaken at Walton fair, some days since, to drink
three quarterns of gin if given to her, some indiscreet person
supplied her with that quantity, and she immediately drank the
whole of it. She never spoke afterwards, and was found dead
in a field in the vicinity.—Chelmsford Chronicle.
On Saturday a young woman, aged 18, was brought
to bed at Lille of a male child, having over its face a move-
able mask of flesh. and forming at the top of the head a
pointed cap, similar to those worn by clowns. It had neither
tongue nor palate, and its mouth was merely a misshapen
aperture. It had six fingers on each hand, and six toes on
each foot. Fortunately it died almost immediately after its
birth.

A letter from Boulogne-sur-Mer, dated Tuesday,
says:—" A melancholy accident occurred here this morning.
Mr. Carmichael, who arrived at Boulogne very recently with
his family, was bathing in the sea at about eight o'clock, when
he was observed suddenly to sink, as if under the effect of a
fit, and, although assistance was soon given, life was found to
be extinct. Every effort, however, was for a long time used,
in the hope of restoring animation. 1 understand that Mr.
Carmichael has left a family of six children. The influx of
visitors :from London is very great. On Saturday last 605
persons arrived; yesterday 120. From 20 to 50 arrive also
daily from Dover. The town is quite full, and appears very
gay. "—E each Paper.
It appears from the 19th report of the Committee
on public petitions, which was delivered with the votes of the
House of Commons on Saturday morning, that the total
number of petitions presented this Session, to the 17th of
June inclusive, was 4,446, of which number 459, with 370,796
signatures, were against the amendments of the House of Lords
to the Irish Corporation Bill; 941 with 138,564 signatures in
favour of the Lord's Day Bill; 335 with 182,276 signatures
for the abolition of tithes in Ireland ; and 478 petitions with
116,339 signatures for the repeal of the stamp duty on news-
papers.
