commendation by Ebony, as ens whose pedestal is
erected within " a quiet, quaint niche, apart to him-
self; in an odd no )1i or cfn.ner in the great temple of
English !item' ure." As a criticism, the first contri-
bution in the August number of Blackwood is a ge-
nerous recognition of the genius of Elia as an essayist,
and a well-natured sarcasm on Mr. Sergeant—we beg
his pardon--Mr. Justice Talfourd, as the biographer
of Charles Lamb. wing ourselves examined the
" Final Memorials" on the occasion of their first ap-
pearance, and examined their merits and defects, too,
with considerable minuteness, it is unnecessary for us
to sayr more of the present analysis of these two
volumes than that it is throughout characterised by a
genial temperament, and yet at the same time by
an ever-present tendency to depreciate the London
men of leters of the last generation—llazlitt, God-
win, Lamb, Lloyd, Dyer, Barnes, and their contem-
poraries. At page 140 there is a particularly savage
attack upon Mr. Harrison Ainsworth, and one too which
we cannot help regardingas rather unamiably gratuit-
ous. Turn we now to our favourites " The Caxtons :"
Vivian, under the gentle guidance of Austin, becomes
in truth and in deep repentant—being in fact ulti-
mately reconciled to his father Captain Roland, and
even in the end permitted to accompany "the
Anachronism" to Australia. The present instalment
of this charming fiction closes with the departure of
the cousins on their pilgrimage across the ocean to
their southern destination. We must not omit some
slight passing allusion to the incident of the callow
bird in the meadow--" Come,' said I, ' ye,
,liave
found each other at last, settle it between you —is
exquisitely said and conceived in the best and kind-
liest vein of Sterne. It reminds us of the poor ass
munching the bitter stalk of the artichoke, of the pet
dog of Maria, or of the imprisoned starling. The
story of Vivian's childhood and youth is recounted
by Sir Bulwer Lytton in his happiest style; and it is
easy to recognise in it a creation kindred to that of
Dalibard. It is nobly remarked by Pisistratus, in a
burst of indignation at the conduct of Vivian towards
Fanny_Trevanion, that "true love is as sublime as
honour and as meek as is religion." Even feeling
thus enthusiastically as to the master passion, Pisis-
tratus cannot but think as follows :
" I know that in youth, and the superstition of first
love, we are credulously inclined to believe that love, and
.he possession of the beloved, are the only happiness
But when my uncle folded me in his arms, and called me
the hope of his age, and stay of his house—the music of
my father's praise still ringing on my heart—l do affirm
that I knew a greater and a prouder bliss than if Tre-
vanion had placed Fanny's hand in mine, and said—
' She is yours.'"
One other exclamation we cannot but transcribe,
it is uttered by Pisistratus when lamenting over the
untoward tuition of his cousin, by the Gitana, when
contrasted with his own fortunes in childhood :
" 0 mother mine! that the boy had stood by thy knee,
and heard from thy lips, why life was given us, in what
life shall end, and how heaven stands open to us night
and day! 0 father mine! that thou hadst been his pre-
ceptor, not in book-learning, but the heart's simple wis-
dom! Oh! that he had learned from thee, in parables
closed with practice, the,happines of self-sacrifice, and
how ' good deeds should repair the bad!'"
Those last words remind us of the first touch of
genius which we recognised in "The Caxtons," that
first incident which assured us that the contribution
was from no unrenowned hand—the graceful and
beautiful 'incident of the flower-pot and the box of
dominoes. " Jonathan in Africa," being a satirical
review of Dr. May's " Kaloolah," opens with a
severe, but not undeserved, condemnation of the elo-
quent nonsense jumbled into the three volumes of
" Mardi," by Mr. Herman Melville. " The
Green Hand" being anything rather than what it
pretends to be, viz., " a short yarn," has long since
become to us unendurably tedious. " Verses for the

last page of our album" are pretty, but their pretti-
ness is rather a weak and diluted prettiness. " The

Insurrection in Baden" will be perused with curiosity,
affording a succinct narrative of a movement
which has been too generally overlooked in this
country in consequence of the superior attractions of
the events transpiring in Hungary. The next article
is a fair criticism of " Lamartine's Revolution of
1848." After the extraordinary blunder made by
Blackwood a few months since in swallowing as
authentic the " Previsions of Orval "—prophecies
since proved, by Louis, Bishop of Verdun, to be sheer
humbug—we are surprised to find in the paper
before us (page 227) an intimation that
the late revolutions on the continent are to be re-
garded as " that general tendency to evil which is so
clearly foretold in prophecy, and indications of the
advent of those disastrous times which are to be closed
by the second coming of the Messiah." As Renault
exclaims, in Otway's Venice Preserved, " I like not
these huggers ! " We cannot help exclaiming too,
" I like not these prophets ! " Dies Boreales are
growing more and more discursive. The little tifs
between Buller and Christopher North are positively
delightful. One minute the former is told, "Buller,
you re a blockhead, " and the next, "Buller, you're
a fellow of fine taste "—according as he has the
temerity to ridicule, or to eulogise the remarks of
King Christopher. Every additional chapter confirms
us more and more in the opinion that Professor Wil-
son has studied with equal assiduity the volumes of
erudition and the book of nature.

LEAMINGTON SPA, AUGUST 4.—The fashionable
popularity of the town is satisfactorily attested by the
following distinguished arrivals during the present
week :—Earl of Beverley and Lady Louisa Percy, the
Earl and Countess of Harrowby and Lady F. Sandon,
the Princess Sherbikoff and suite, Hon. W. and Mrs.
Gardner, Hon. Mr. Essex, Lady Robert and Hon. Miss
Kerr, Very Rev. the Dean of Hereford, Sir J. Brymer,
Sir Francis Shuckburgh, Bart., Sir Charles Burton,
Bart., Sir Andrew and Lady Corbet, Admiral Sir
Charles Ekins, &c. &c. The aristocratic meeting of the
Zingari Cricketers, on Monday and Tuesday next, will,
it is confidently expected, prove an all•attractive source
of enjoyment to our visitors, whose numbers are daily
increasing with unusual rapidity. A grand archery
meeting on the demesne of a distinguished county
family, resident in the immediate neighbourhood of the
Spa, will divide public interest with the " wandering
cricketers" on Tuesday.

[ADVERTISEMENT.] "SPECTEMUR AGENDO."
On the 10th o: December last, the Observer completed
its 50th anhivers.ary (half a century), during which long
period the Observer has maintained the highest character
for early and exclusive foreign and domestic news, to
obtain which no expense whwever was spared. The
same two gentleinen who have so successfully conducted
the Observer for the past thirty-five yews still continue
at the helm. The is ablishment of the Observer alone
engages the services (besides the editors) of ten talented
reporters, upwards of twenty correspondents, thirty com-
positors, two engineers, ten machine hands, and about
thirty other persons in minor capacities, thus giving
engagements to more than 100 persons, at an outlay of
about 300/. per week, independent_of excise on the paper,
advertisement duty, and stamps. Every effort will be
made to render the Observer the most complete family
journal published, equally acceptable to the gentleman and
the scholar. The in eekly record of about 300 Births,
Marriages, and Deaths, with their respective dates, will
be continued; also the column of advertisements (under
the head of "Public Amusements") of theatres, exhibi-
tions, concerts, &c. Gratuitous supplements will also
occasionally be published. There is scarcely a club-
house, institution, library, or news-room in England,
Scotland, and Ireland, or on the Continent, or in the
East ani West Indies, in which the Observer is not taken
in, and frequently duplicate copies. The extensive pub.
li,ation of the Observer commences at four o'clock on

improved transit :—A cattle salesman at Sheffield re-

twelve of which were immediately sent to North Thorsby
station, thence to Grimsby, and dispatched westward by
the 9 A.M. train, arriving in Sheffield at six minutes pact
twelve. Thus was accomplished in little more than
three hours a journey that would have occupied three
days in driving. The cattle were delivered in perfectly
unimpaired condition. The coaching interest :Tears to

Prizes having been also awarded for fencing and gym-
nastics, the Head Master announced that vacation would
commence that day, and terminate on Tuesday, 25th
September.
Mr. Justice TALFOURD then rose, amidst the most
enthusiastic plaudits, to address the assembly. He said
that it was an old maxim that there was no good in
this world without some alloy, and he found him-
self at that time no exception to the general rule.
It had been to him a source of unaffected
gratification to have been selected to be the medium
for presenting so many symbols of merit Ishich had
evoked such feelings of delight, not only from the
young hearts of those who were entitled to them, but
also to the hearts of those who felt the interest of love,
friendship, or relationship with the successful competi-
tors; but it was some alloy to the satisfaction ho other-
wise should have experienced to be called upon to give
expression to feelings to which he was sensible he could
not do adequate justice. No one could have witnessed
the distribution of prizes that day, from the first prize-
man in Greek to the last victor in fencing, who must not
have been persuaded that abundant attestation had been
given of the skill and erudition of the preceptors, and of
the diligence and good conduct of the pupils. It was
impossible to be a spectator of the gratifying scene
which had just terminated without being convinced that
the London University College was an institution
where the greatest possible attention had been paid by
the masters, with the happiest possible results on
the minds of the students. To the pupils who now lis-
tened to him, and to the brilliant company who were
then assembled, the near and dear relatives of those
pupils, it was unnecessary that he should say anything
in commendation of such an institution; but, in addre,s-
ing others, who were not, perhaps, so well acquainted
with its merits, he might be permitted to observe that the
advantages of such an establishment were great and nu-
merous. The boy who was educated at that school had
not to undergo the hard condition of being separated
from the paternal roof. The great—the inconceivably
great—advantages which belong to a public school, as
affording opportunities of emulation and competition,
might be enjoyed by the boys who were educated in
that establishment, at the same time that they were not
deprived of a father's unceasing vigilance, and a mother's
tender solicitude. Of all earthly blessings, he thought
the last the most valuable to the youthful mind, for he
entirely concurred with Coleridge, in the sentiment that—

"A mother is a mother still,
The loveliest thing alive
Those who were educated in that admirable institution
enjoyed the inestimable advantage of maternal care at
home, and of the most enlarged and liberal education
abroad. In estimating the true value and interest of the
scene of that day, particular regard should be paid to this
fact, that boys were not permitted to remain in the school
after the age of sixteen. At that age they passed into
another branch of the establishment—a different system
of discipline—that happy period which intervened be-
tween mere boyhood and the cares, turmoils, and anx-
ieties of adult life. He merely mentioned thia to show
that it would be scarcely fair to compare what had been
done in that school with the scholastic achievements ac-
complished in other institutions, where the pupils
were allowed to remain until they had attained the
age of eighteen or nineteen. And yet it was, per.
haps, unnecessary that he should have claimed
any indulgence on account of the restriction as
to age in that institution, for young though all its mem-
bers were, he found that the higher classes of them wer
engaged in the study of the Greek tragedians, and in
the most abstruse branches of the mathematics.—
(Applause.) In the examination for matriculation at
the London University the success which had attended
the students was very remarkable; and amongst the
former students who had most honourably distinguished
themselves he had much pleasure iu making honourable
mention of the names of Messrs. H. 11. Smith and 1.1.
Hicks. Of the boys who had distinguished themselves
that day, and to whom he bad had the happiness of
awarding priws, there were four to whose names he
might be permitted to make a passing allusion, because
of the peculiar interest with which parental associa-
tions surrounded them. It was impossible to witness
the opening career of the boys who bore the names
of Martineau, Roscoe, Romilly, and Hood—names which
were watchwords to our feelings, and which called up
thoughts as dear as the memories of home, without
experiencing an emotion of delight at observing- that
those who now possessed those names were resolved to
uphold their ancestral honour, and to shed new lustre on
families already ennobled in the records of national and
literary greatness.—(Applause.) lie confessed that his
own emotions of joy at the success of Hood were such as
he found it difficult to expre.s ; for he could not forget
that that gifted boy was the son of that accomplished
author whose genius was of that happy character that
he could With equal ease move to laughter or melt to
tears ; and that, more perhaps than any modern author,
he possessed the power of arousing the sympathies of
the rich and great on behalf of the poor and humble,
without inducing that dissatisfaction which it was such
a wickedness to create in the breasts of the lowly
against their more favoured brethren.—(Applause.)
He had witnessed in the proceedings of that day many
things which were calculated to excite in his heart
the most cordial emotions of gratification, but he con-
fessed that nothing which he had witnessed had caused
him greater delight than to observe the generous and
high-minded manner in which the announcement of the
names of the various competitors had been received
even by those of the pupils who had not been fortunate
enough to carry away prizes themselves. It had been said
that—

" Envy doth merit like its shade pursue,
And like the shade it proves the substance true."
But to that sentiment he was not prepared to give an
unqualified assent. It might be true if its application
were limited merely to the narrow-minded and dis-
ingenuous; but certain_he was that envy was the very
last passion that was likely to take up its abode in
an honest heart, or an educated mind.—(Loud ap•
plause.) Important though it was to educate the hu-
man mind, it, was infiuitely more so to educate the
human heart. His young friends, when they studied
the Greek and Roman classics, would bear in mind that
the object they should propose to themselves was not
so much the acquisition of a language, now spoken No
more, as the training of the mind to an aptitude of
thought, and to the appreciation of the most deli-
cate shade of moral beauty. It was for this that they
should seek to become acquainted with those early
glories of the antique world, which looked more like a
vision disclosed through the parting clouds of time than
anything which actually appertained to the practical
history of wars, and the changes of dynasties. So, too,
in the study of mathematics, they should apply them-
selves not only to lines, curves, and circles, but to the
acquisition of a habit of thought which might enable
them to apply severity of reasoning to the noblest pur-
suit in which the human mind could be engaged—the
pursuit of truth.—(Applause.) And the same rule
might be applied with equal advantage to the study
of Hebrew—the object of the student being not simply
to disinter from the grave of years tin immemorial
language, but rather to become familiar with the
thoughts of those who wrote in that language, and to
become acquainted with the noblest literature in the
world—our own alone
.excepted. They should

tivation of powers here was only the cultivation of
powars which, i❑ a happier sphere, would nevtr die.
'rho Learned Judge concluded, amid loud and enthu-
siastic applause, by congratulating the pupils on their
vacution, and exhorting them to surrender themselves
without restraint to the genial influence of the festive
hour.

A vote of thanks was unanimcuily awarded to the
Lcazned President, and the meeting. terminated.

GOODWOOD REIIINISCENSES, DERBY, BRIGHTON,
AND WOLVERHAMPTON ANTICIPATIONS.

" I will myselven with you ride,
Bight at mine own cost, and be your Guide."
CHAUCER.

SlR,—That pleasurable " shoal of time," the Goodwood
Meeting, has passed off with great éclat, thanks to the
weather and to the indefatigable exertions of Lord
George Ben tinck's successor—Lord H. G. Len-
nox, who bids fair, in the long run, to
equal his predecessor in his palmiest days.
Tadmor, of course, won the Gratwicke Stakes in the
easiest manner imaginable, at the • time being " rather
off," beating Herbert (2d), and Sidney (3d); Brlus,
Vanguard, and Rochester " stalled off." This perform-
ance shows the quality of the but once and accidentally
vanquished son of lon and Palmyra, who is, in my
opinion, quite good enough to beat the Flying Dutch-
man upon equal terms, the race for this year's Derby to
my mind being a nullity. Should they ever meet again
the Dutchman strikes his flag, or
"I'll break my staff,
Bury it certain fathoms in the earth,
And deeper than did ever plummet sound
I'll drown my book."
The Goodwood Stable were in immense force through-
out the week, winning the Lavant and Molecomb
with William the Conqueror, a genuine Derby
nag ; the Bunney, and Settringtou Stakes with
Officious, a real flyer; the Drawing-room Stakes
with Borneo, Uriel being lame; a 200;sovs. stakes with
Ghillie Callum, who in consequence was made first
favourite for the Derby, but notwithstanding will not
be first in the race; and the Sussex Stakes, with Com-
pass; besides four matches, and two or three minor
sweepstakes—pretty luck for one week.
For the 300 soya. Stakes Glen Suldel, the only sound
horse in the race, beat my fancy Loadstone, who came
to the post in as ricketty a condition as it was possible to
be, at once shutting out all hope.
Col. Peel's llardinge won the Ham Stakes cleverly
enough, is a good strong horse, and with the Epirus colt
will be heard of in the ring throughout the winter.
Wanota, my choice for" The Stakes," found the course
half a mile too long for him.
As I anticipated, there was nothing to touch Cancun
in the race for the cup. Chanticleer's running was moat
extraordinary.
The straw-coloured jacket was once again in the ascen-
dant on the back of Honeycomb, who won without an effort
from a trashy trio—Champion, Solon, and Ploughboy.
This Honeycomb must not be despised for his races at
York and Doncaster: it strikes me very forcibly he will
give the Dutchman his work to do in the St. Leger
race.

There are two days' sport at Derby on Tuesday and
Wednesday, including a stake or two of some little im-
portance.

The Tradesmen's Plate has Revolt, 7st 61b—Mrs.
Taft, 7st lib—Little Mary, 6st 81b—St. Antonio, Gst
41b—Van Diemen, sst 121 b—and Sir Henry Hardinge,
sst 81b, including 41b extra, among the entries, my pen-
chant leaning toward the last named.
The Foal Stakes are destined for Robert de Brut,
Drakelow, or Langton.
Lord Chesterfield's Mrs. Taft and Chicot look remark-
ably " will in " for the Chatsworth Stakes,
and his Lampoon filly will not be far from the mark
for the Chesterfield Stakes, although opposed by the
Muff filly, Sicyon, and Cadger. This quartet will
secure the three first places, the Muff for choice.
At Brighton, the Goodwood stable will secure the
Pavilion and Two yrs old Stakes, and might, perchance,
the Brighton Stakes with Hornpipe, although in pre-
ference I should trust St. Antonio, 7st. 1216; the Nsutch
Girl, sst, 131 b. ; cr Dark Lady, sst. nib. The light
weights for choice.

At Wolverhampton, on Monday next, Sir Henry
Hardinge, or Christiana, will make the Produce Stakes
!safe for the owner of one or other. The Wolverhampton
Stakes, Mr. Meiklam ought to secure with Snowstorm,
the Model, Little Mary, and Dough close up. Van
Diemen's running for either this stake, or the Trades-
men's Plate, at Derby, I consider very doubtful; if he
does go he must be cautiously dealt with.
The Chillington Stakes to Harriott.
I am, Sir, yours, &c.,
THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF. 11
