necessary ; but, rightly considered, it is all•iniportant,

since

" 'trifles make the sum of hUman things,
And half our misery from our foibles springs!"
In the opening of the first chapter the ardent and
etithfislaitic Emilia is learning true wisdom &dm Mir
gentle mother. Burning with admitation and emula-
tion for the heroic, she is surprised and pained to hear it
thus defined

- " Heroism l—To those who consider rightly, it is a far
nobler thing now : when it is no longer a sound to mark the
glowing excitement, the lofty enthusiasm, which fights and
struggles in the brilliant mid-day, gilded by the sun, all
warm and genial; but the slow, silent, death-struggle of the
soul in solitude, darkness, and obscurity, against the heavy,
wearying, every-day evils of every-day actual life: sacrifices
of the hourly and the small, but the sum of which is exist-
ence—not offered in the fervour of the moment, but given,
as it were, by inches ; the heroic devotion to ethers, and
those others, not even worthy! far from grateful, too often
resentful ; combining patience, perseverance, endurance,
gentleness, and disinterestedness—that is the heroism of our
day, my dear poet I"
And such was the heroism which the listener's future
life was to exemplify and illustrate, and such is the
quality which gives the moral power to these volumes.
A tone of genuine feeling pervades the whole, sincere
and natural; and here and there we find some bright
thought which bids us pause, and reflect, and admire,
Many of the characters have a degree of individuality
and truthfulness, which adds greatly to the apparent
reality of the whose. There is the beautiful and
capricieuse Lisa, the friend and exact contrast of Emilia,
a striking example of the fearful struggle between a bad
eduCation and a good heart ; and there is Mr. Danby,
the hard-w'orking, care-worn, withered lawyer, growing
old amid his books and papers, apparently without a
of

needless to enumerate further, suffice it to say that no
book more diametrically opposed to the ordinary rules
and routine of novels, could more effectually fulfil, what
should be their main object—to give pleasure in the
perusal and benefit in the remembrance.

THE ABBOTSFORD EDITION OF THE

This, the Editio I'rinceps of the works of our Scot-

the 10th volume, contains " Woodstock " and the
" Chronicles of the CanonE ate." For the beauty of its
typagraphy, and the profuseness and exquisiteness of its
pictorial illustrations, this volume is quite equal to any
of its predecessors.

NOTICE TO EQUITABLE POLICY HOLDERS.
NITED KINGDOM LIFE ASSURANCE
COMPANY,

No. 8, Waterloo-place, Pall-mall, London.

The attention of Equitable Policy Holders is particularly called to
the HALF CRIIDIT SCALES of PREMIUM of this Company, by
which table the bonus to be declared at the next investigation, in
January, 1850, may be secured at a pfesent annual payment of one-
half the rates charged by other companies. In the event of death the
sum insured will be paid less the amount ofprentiums on credit. Should
the life insured survive the declaration of the bonus, the policy may be
allowed to lapse, and the Company will renounce all claim for the
half premiums which may be due thereon , or, in the event of the
party being at that time in bad health, the policy can be kept up
by commencing to pay the full premium of the age as when first

FOREIGN ICE.—Large quantities of ice continue to be
imported from the north of Europe, vessels arriving with
cargoes consisting of hundreds of tons of the article, the
ships being devoted solely to the purpose. A vessel called
the Trende Sostre, from Dram or Dratnmer, in the kingdom
of Norway, arrived in the Regent's Canal a day or two
since, having on board the large quantity of 400 tons of ice,
the produce of the place. Other vessels have since arrived
from the same quarter similarly laden. Until the present
season the importation of this novel article of merchandise
Was confined to North America, but its introduction from
other quarters proves that in case of necessity, as in the in-
stance of the mildness of the past winter, supplies can be ob-
tained even of this singular article of commercial specula-
tion to meet the exigencies of the case.

THE WAR IN INDIA.

We are informed that Lieutenant and Adjutant Wale, son
of the late General Sir C. Wale, K.C.8., who in the recent
dispatches from India was misnamed Wall, is out of danger
from the awful wound he received at the late battle of
Aliwal.

During the hottest part of the fire he was struck from his
horse by a cannon ball, which broke all his left ribs, caus-
ing a severe laceration of the lungs, and wounding his left
arm, under which it passed.
In a state admitting scarce a ray of hope he was carried
to the rear, whence (his house having been plundered and
ransacked by the enemy in his absence) he was taken
charge of by the wife of a wounded brother officer, in whose
house, and under whose unremitted care, after remaining
some days in a hopeless condition, he began and still con-
tinues to improve.
In the former action on the Sutlej, in all of which he was
present, Lieutenant Wale had several narrow escapes, having
had a charger killed under him in the battle of Moodkee,
on the 18th of December, and having barely escaped a can-
non-ball, which passed close to his side while storming the
teeth of the batteries of Ferozeshah, on the evening of the
21st ; he had a second charger killed under him while as-
sisting in the successful struggle to drive the Seikhs from
out of their entrenched camp at Ferozeshah, on the morning
of the 22d.
We have only to hope that this brave young officer may,
like his late veteran father, live to count well nigh seventy
years since he first fought and bled in the service of his
country.

DRURY-LANE THEATRE.

Madame Anna Thillon, the most fascinating, beautiful,
and accomplished of actresses and singers, made her
first appearance for the season here on Thursday reght, in
the character of Catarina, in the opera of The Crown
Jewels. It was in this character that she made her
first appearance before an English audience, some two
years since, and at once took the town by storm. The
brilliant sparkling music of this opera is exactly suited
to Thillon's power ; indeed we know of no other artist
who could perform Catarina. Her clear, pure, flexible
voice was as delightful as ever, and her fioriture
wonderful for its delivery, its taste, and the marvellous
flexibility of organ which it exhibited. Never did
Madame Thillon look more bewitchingly, or sing more
delightfully; she was applauled enthusiastically in every
scene, and was, of course, called for at the conclusion.
Miss Poole was the Diana, and afforded most efficient
support to the prima donna. The duet, "In the deep
ravine, was exquisitely given by these two ladies. The
piece has been rut upon the stage in the most splendid
manner. The dresses of Madame Thillon were superb;
and the display of the. crown jewels in the last scene
was perfectly dazzling. The house was crammed to
suffocation, and the applause throughout was most
enthusiastic.

GROUP XIV.
Mr. PROTIIEROE moved that Group 14 have leave
to sit and proceed with their business on Monday, the
21st day of April, notwithstanding the resolution of the
House on the 7th day of this instant April.
Sir G. CLERK opposed the motion. He did not
think that after the resolution unanimously come to
by the IIou:e the arrangement should be departed
from to suit the convenience of any Committee. At the
time of the•resolution being moved there were several
cases instanced as having peculiar claims for favourable
consideration ; yet they, also, in deference to the feel-
ing of the House, were postponed with the other Bills.
There were no special reasons why the rule should be
set aside for the Bills in the present group, and to do
so, would be to place others at a disadvantage ; for this
reason, he would oppose the present motion.
Mr. PROTHEROE, after a few words, in which he
said the object was not to suit the convenience of the
Committee, but because the promoters of the Bills were
not at all likely to be affected by the proposed measure
for facilitating the dissolution of companies, withdrew
his motion.

"A Prince, an ally of France, whose military qualities
have been appreciated by our soldier_ ,s —lbrahim Paella, is to
enter our walls on Saturday. His Highness will review the
regiments of the garrison of Bordeaux and Libourne on
Sunday, the 19th. To impart more solemnity to that mili-
tary exhibition, the Lieutenant-General commanding the
11th division is anxious that the National Guard should
figure at it. National Guards! you will hold to render his
Highness the honoar due to him, and prove that Bordeaux,
as well as the entire of France, shares the sympathies of her
King,"
