We have Madrid Papers of the sth inst., but
they are destitute of news of any interest. The
elections were proceeding quietty, the bulk of
the people' seeming to care nothing- about tAern.
Reports of some disturbances at Valencia .were
in circulation.

The Five per Cents. were done on the 4th at
29i for cash, and at 291 at 60 days. The sum
negotiated amounted to 12,600,000 reals.

LITERATURE.

KING HENRY THE THIRD.
Cadell, London, 1841.

The.title-page of this historical play informs
us that its author is the author likewise of an
" Essay on the Oxford Tracts "—a somewhat equi-
vocal recommendation to a dramatist, and which
may perhaps account for the long prosy speeches
that disfigure his present performance. .ThiSin-
deed is the besetting fault of Henry the Third.-
It has little Vigerous action, but abundance of
prolix, wire-drawn declamation. ,All its dra.
matis persome are written with a love of hearing
themselves talk, and what makes their propen-
sitystill more afflicting is, that they seldom or
never talk to the point. Occasionally their gar-
rulousness amounts to, a positive calamity, and
they 'exhibit theMselves as regular button-hold-
ers. The author clearly misapprehended his
forte when he ventured upon the composition of
a play. Fancy, he undoubtedly possesses, and
now and then he puts forward a gleatri-of genu-
ine feeling; but of dramatic eilect he knows
nothing ; and whenever he attempts to make a
hit, invariably falls fhr short of the mark:
