GREEN ,V it) 11 ELEC TION.
RETURN OF ADMIRAL DUNDAS.
The election for a Member of Parliament to represent the
borough of Greenwich, on account of the resignation of the
Hon. and Gallant Admiral G. W. Dundas, who has accepted the
office of one of the Lords of the Admiralty, took place yester-
day, at ten o'clock, on a hustings in Church-street, Greenwich,
near to the parish church. There was no opposition to the
Gallant Admiral, who offered himself for re-election, and
consequently there was no excitement whatever. At the
hour of commencing the proceedings there might be about
2,000 persons present, a great proportion of which had come
from Woolwich and Deptford, accompanied by approprate
banners and bands of music. The gallant candidate was ac-
companied by Edward G. Barnard, Esq., the other Member
for the borough.
Among the gentlemen present we recognised Colonel Fead,
Colonel Dundas, Captain Wood, Captain Fead, Josiah Har-
graves, Esq., H. Hargraves, Esq., C. Millington, Esq., George
Burnitt, Esq., Charles Harwood, Esq., John Wade, Esq.,
and a great number of the most influential electors of the

borough.
The returning officer (Thomas B. Fisher, Esq.) read the
precept for the election, and the usual formalities having been
gone through, he called upon the electors to conduct
themselves in a manner worthy of the occasion, as they had
hitherto done under similar circumstances.
CHARLES HARWOOD, Esq., in a neat and appropriate ad-
dress, nominated the Hon. and Gallant Admiral G. IV. Dundas
as a fit and proper person to represent the borough of Green-
wich in Parliament.
Mr. JOHN WADE, of Deptford, seconded the nomination.
The returning officer then took the sense of the meeting by
a show of hands, which was unanimous in favour of the no-
mination. He then, amidst loud cheers, declared the Hon.
and Gallant Candidate duly elected as the Member for the

borough.
Admiral ININDAS returned thanks for the honour
just done him by the electors of Greenwich and Deptford.
With regard to his future conduct in Parliament, he could
only, as an illu-tration of what it would be, point to what it
had been in the past. He had no inconsistency to explain
away. He had for years supported the repeal of the corn-laws,
and other liberal measures, and he would continue to do his best
to forward every legislative proceeding calculated to advance
the interests and extend the liberties of the people. The
Hon. and Gallant Gentleman, who spoke but for a few
minutes, was loudly cheered at the conclusion of his address.
In reply to a question from Mr. Wade, Admiral Dundas
promised to give the question of the condition of those em-
ployed in her Majesty's dockyards his best consideration,
with the object of increasing the remuneration at present
paid them.
Mr. BARNARD, the other Member, being loudly called for,
also addressed the meeting, in a speech which was an echo of
the sentiments delivered by the llon. and Gallant Admiral.
He stated he had always acted consistently with Liberal
principles, both on the corn-laws and other questions, and he
would continue still to do so.
After a vote of thanks to the returning officer for his con-
duct in presiding over the election, the meeting separated.

THE MIDLAND CIRCUIT.—We understand there is
no truth in the report that Mr. Sergeant Gazelee has been
appointed to proceed as judge pro tern. on this circuit, in con-
sequence of the illness of Mr. Justice Coleridge.
CH kRTROT RE-ORGINISATION.— Since the retirement
of Sir Robert Peel and the advent to power of Ltr I John
Russell, the Chartist leaders have held several meetings for
the purpose of re-organising their body, and adopting mea-
sures to obtain the six points of the Charter, and a free par-
don for Frost, Williams, and Jones, and all transported Char-
tists. Mr. Feargus O'Connor and Dr. APDowall will, it is
said, be the leaders of this new movement, which, according
to the scheme of its concoctors, is to have no connexion with
Whigs or Tories.—Sunday paper,

FRENCH PLAYS.
ST JAMES'S THEATRE.
La, t night a crowd of fashionables—albeit it may seem
a contradiction in terms—an enthusiastic crowd of
fashionables (for genius can endow even the blase
habitues of fashionable life with enthusiasm) assembled
at the St. James's Theatre to do homage to the greatest
tragedian in the world, Mademoiselle Rachel. She ap-
peared as Camille in Corneille's tragedy of Les Horaces
—a character in which we have frequently seen her
before, and in which, each time that we have seen her,
we have gone to the theatre predetermined to watch
her critically, and not to suffer ourselves to be carried
away by our feelings, but in every instance the genius
of the actress has so carried us away that criticism has
become impossible. As easily might we attempt to
criticise the sublime scenery of the Alps, or the exqui-
sitely beautiful scenery of our own Cumberland lakes.
Nature defies criticism—she is above it ; and Rachel
is nature—beautiful—exquisite--perfection. Voltaire
proposed to write those words at the foot of
each page of Ravine, as the only just and true
criticism ; and such is the only criticism applic-
able to the acting of Rachel. Not only
is she naturally a most intense and impassioned actress,
but Nature has been improved to the highest pitch of
perfection by study. She is in the higliest sense of the
word an artiste, and she works up a character to a com-
plete climax. In Camille, for instance, no sooner does
she enter upon the scene than without a word beisi
spoken the liectator feels that she is a doomed victim.
How exquisitely beautiful is her love for her family—
how intense her love for her affianced husband—how
deeply pathetic her melancholy at the thought that
Alba and Rome must join in battle, and those she loves
must meet as enemies. Then what can excel the
ecstasy of her joy when she learns that those
she loves may yet be saved, because the cham-
pions on each side are to be c►aosen to do battle
for their respective countries ? Can anything exceed
it ? Yes, the depth of her despair, when she knows
that her brother and her lover are among the cham-
pions. The catastrophe approaches—two of her bro-
thers are killed ; the third has fled, but her lover is
safe. Bowed down by grief, she leans on her father.
Sorrowful is she for the loss of her brothers, but not alto-
gether despairing. Her lover is safe, and his safety is to
her more than brothers or country. Then comes the cli-
max. Her brother's flight is but a stratagem—he has re-
turned and killed her lover. The tale is told by a messenger
to her father. She turns towards him, intently listens,
and when she hears the dreadful truth, she shrieks not.
moans not, speaks not ; but, as a bird fascinated by the
glaring eyes of a serpent, a tremulous shudder pas es
through her frame, and she sinks dead ! Ay ! dead,
for although the body revives after a time,
and utters horrible imprecations on Rome,
it is not animated by the soul of Camille.
That gentle soul has passed away to its rest, emancipated
from its fleshly tabernacle by the announcement of the
death of Curiatius. But the body remains ; there are
convulsive movements, horribly convulsive movements,
of that body, which is re animated by a demon. It is
no longer Camille, but Nemesis, that speaks ; and, de_
nouncing vengeance on the Horatii and on Rome, ag-
gravates Horatius to the commission of the murder
of his seeming sister, and thus condemns him to
the intensity of remorse. Such is the idea which
the acting of Mademoiselle Rachel gives us of the con-
cluding scene, and such di;ubtless was the intention of
Corneille. In reading the play, the conclusion has
hitherto struck us as an anti-climax. We have always
consi lered that the tragedy should end with the death—
for we will call it the death—and not the swoon, of Ca-
mille, on hearing that Curiatius has fallen ; but Mdlle.
Rachel has vindicated the genius of Corneille, and made
the climax perfect. Her Camille is the most sublime
histrionic effort the world has ever seen.

The Gazette du Midi publi-hes the following anecdote
of the new Pope, Pius IX. :—" When Pius was Archbishop
of Speleta a revolutionary movement took place, and one of
the chiefs having been arrested, there was found at his resi-
dence a sealed packet, which he confessed contained a list of
all the officers and others who had entered into the conspiracy.
The Commissary of Police, triumphant in the discovery,
went to inform the Archbishop of it. 'lndeed,' said the let-
ter, this is an important discovery—where is the
packet ?' The Commissary having shown it, the
Archbishop said that considering its importance,
he hoped it would be placed in his hands.
The Commissary hesitated, and observed that he was going
to send it to Rome, but the Archbishop having observed
that he would do all that was requisite, he at last consented,
at the same time, however, perhaps thinking that the Arch.
bishop wished to assume all the credit of the communication
to the Government. The Archbishop had no sooner got pos-
session of the packet than he tore it to pieces and threw
the fragments into the fire. The Commissary was struck
with terror, but the Archbishop said to him, 'Fear nothing,
I will take everything upon myself. You have done your
duty as a Commissary of the Government. and I have done
mine as a Bishop. Are there not a sufficient number of per-
sons compromised, and enough families in grief already?'"
THE LATE CHIEF JUSTICE TINDAL.—The remains
of this much-lamented Judge were interred vesterday, in
the family grave at Kensal-green Cemetery, Harrow-road.
At nine o'clock the mournful cortege, consisting of a hearse
drawn by six hordes. and ten mourning coaches each drawn
by four'horses, left the family mansion in Bedford-square,
for the place if its destination. The ceremony, in every re-
spect, accorded with the position which the deceased occu-
pied up to the hour of his death, and the arrangements of
the same were efficiently made by Mr. Smith, of John-street,
Oxford-street, who accompanied the procession throughout.
The attendants principally, if indeed not wholly, comprised
the more immediate relatives and frimds of the deceased,
including Mr. Baron Parke, Sir William Symonds, of the
Civil department Royal Navy; Major Symonds, Captain
Tindal, R.N., and T. Tindal, Esq., sons of the deceased ; Sir
J. De Vieulle, of St. Helier's, Jersey; and about thirty other
gentlemen, several of whom came from distant parts of the
kingdom.
THE RESULTS OF GANING.—A Frankfort journal
states that a Russian baron, who had lost large sums of
money at play at Baden-Baden, has recently gone mad, and
is now in a lunatic asylum. At Hamburgh, says the same
ournal, the son of a high fun Aionary at Bonn, having lost
all his money at the gaming-table, snatched up the gold
which was lying on it, and endeavoured to escape, but he
was arrested, and is now in confinement.
The appointments of Lord Alfred Paget, lately held
by Lord Charles Wellesley, are lucrative. As Equerry he

LITERATURE.
KNIGHT'S WEEKLY VOLUME. CI V. and Cr.
•
Manners and Customs ofthe Modern Egyptians. 131
Edward William Lane.
With this singular and important work Mr. CheLte:
Knight's serial publication of " Weekly Volumes , 1
brought to a conclusion, accompanied by an intimation
t.
of its continuance on an entirely different arrangemenA
In taking a retrospective glance at this unprecedeate;
undertaking—namely, the production every seven de&
of an entire book at what Montague Ting would ee;
" the ridiculously small amount of one shilling"--we:gr,,
astonished at the fund of information and at the variety
of the materials condensed into these one hundred 6,:
five volumes. Of themselves they constitute no 103!b;
nificant library. Biographies in their most ear:tells
guise are there introduced, relating to such charaete
as Bacon, Sir Thomas Gresham, Napoleon BollaP6f.t:s
William Caxton, the early Italian painters, and t°,,,
inimitable production of a great mind, the "Statesllll
of the Time of George III.," by Lord Brougham. Peetr/
the choicestdescription, forms no trivial feature of thee_o;
lection, comprising cuUings from Tasso, Racine, Spend
Chaucer, and Hudibras. Fiction at once instructive et
entertaining imparts a zest to the more serious portse;
of the series, and in this department we may enumer‘d,
"Arabian Tales and Anecdotes," " A Legend of 110
ing Abbey," "The Romance of Travel," and the 5163 • "
tales from Shakspeare, by Charles Lamb' and his tat:
plished sister. Among the politico-economical world'
there are a " History of British Commerce," "I0,4:1°;islo,'"
of the Rhine," " The Dutch in the Medway," "C 5,
and Labour," and "British Manufactures." Amongt,
descriptive of the habits of different nations, allu„,e,
"
characters of different countries, are " The Englishen)7„"al
in Egypt," The Chinese," " Curiosities of PhY6R-
Geography," " The Oregon Territory," and tb
" Backwoods of Canada." Besides this prodigal sutri
ply of instructive matter, the habitual readers of
" Weekly Velurne" have been treated with
cal dissertations upon the Elephant, the Dog,
the Horse ; an excellent treatise upon 03.3
mology ; an writings of a peculiarly moral tend?,l3,;,,
tbi
such, for example, as Paley's "Natural Theology,
"Memoirs of a Working Man," and a charming es„,sfer,
blage of thoughts, entitld, " Mind amongst the 05,
dies." Although we have emitted all reference to ellof:
jects of remarkabl.- attractiveness in our enumeratioo4
this really noble enterprise, we have in all consele6rei
afforded our readers a sufficient indication of the et6.e,l
of knowledge and the profusion of beauties, contain
within its pages. Such a periodical would have iropario
to the heart of Caxton a joy altogether indiscribable,
even now a-days, when by habitude we have becorae
customed to the many marvels incident to the printit
press, it cannot but afford us a deep sense of self gratwit
tion at the extraordinary advancement in civilizatiooo,
which it is so incontestable an evidence. We Air
joice, moreover, that, notwithstanding the '44
solution of that noble association for the
fusion of useful knowledge with which he Ili
throughont its existence, so intimately and so honoureVi
connected, Mr. Knight has not relaxed his exertions'oo
the greater dissemination of that same knowledge lot
jot. As a publisher, he is, indeed, incessantly 0,4
the public some powerful testimony that he is altoge"bi
imbued with the lofty and humanising principles
4
which that illUstrious society was actuated ; and, //lb,
striving to facilitate the education of the people---bp
production of sterling literature at an insigni
ty
price—every philanthropic spirit will join with us
aspiration that Mr. Knight is reaping the advantage., 0
which he is so justly entitled. As the telescope lei
astronomical discovery, so have the printing types prig(ll
in regard to the developement of the popular inbit
and though Mr. Charles Knight can nel't JO
claim to be regarded as a Galileo nor a Guttenbergib
may assuredly claim a certain kind of association 1110
Herschell or a Rosse. He is struggling to achieve, of
lli
• te
the aid of letter-press, that enlargement of the 10 icy
of his fellow-creatures which those two astral:0100
labourers have, with the assistance of lenses,, 01
struggling to achieve in our knowledge of the ee'eof
system. We have availed ourselves of this opperteeti 1;11
—namely the completion of the series of " eft
Volumes "—to give a spontaneous expression e' ;

KNIGHT'S MONTHLY VOLUME.--1.
...1111;
Customs of the South of Italy. By Charles 11141" noi
This interesting description of the people of thee o,
South begins the monthly collection of Knight'svote
end from the charms of the theme, as well as tmeild,
puler style of the composition, it makes an elte
b ginning. To write a new book upon Italy rec,l 016
no ordinary ingenuity, from the multiplicity of fret
already devoted to the narrative of that countri,toret
the staid " Journal" of Addison to the lively "F„tie;
of Dickens. Despite this obstacle, however, 11`::00F
Farlane has gleaned some novel passages in relfolsitr
that beautiful land—a land fraught with the deeri!
terest, not only from its delicious scenery, bu ernl9;
gr<nd historical associations. Anything app__ool
to the territories where the " mistress of the ;IV,
flourished, and where she still stands immortal
ruin, cannot fail to be attractive. Hence this 0"„
will ba welcome.

THE BOOK OF COSTUME.—By a Lady of 00'
Without resorting to anythinglike ioniencl' Or_ II Vol
tion, this " Book of Costumes" is a superb voluer-
t,ne lavish display of embellishment from
the intros
tion to the .‘Finis." Repeatedly have we rege 000
the non-appearance of just such a work as the wy,
under notice—a wnrk conveying to its reader
quate notion of the progress and the fluctuntLu sll
fashion, from the remotest periods, and 700511
countries. Nor, as many might errors ocio
imagine, is the subject of a superfluous and suPeoidar
character. On the contrary, it is one of very C°" 400
r.pr
able importance, both morally and historically; yeff
from the gradual modifications in costume, if Oar
a the
di.scribed,we may obtain a very striking illustration °obi
advancementofcivilisation. From the loose skins 'O%O
Os- original inhabitants of this island on the int,lo
of Britain by Caesar ; from the tunics and small
like the chlamydes, fastened on the shoulder by a l'-vr, s
during the time of Harold ; from the capuchon lot
valeta under Edward 111. ; from the bottifies,
chaperons of Henry VI. ; from th ruffs and double",
the lieges of Elizabeth : from the flowing perultegstos,
petticoat-breeches worn towards the close of the 'l4
dynav e
y ; the high-heeled shoes and powdered
or
of the Brunswicks, even to the latest fashions i°3l3fo
from Paris, we can trace the gradual progre.sion ° ybt
forefathers from the lowest point of barbarism Wtae,
highest point of civilisation yet attained. Such as 00:1
is therefore one of unquestionable interest, 90
which would form no mean addendum to the hist° fert
any nation. In the present instance, hot/e
te:
the authoress has not restricted her bY
searches to a single country ; she
of if •
accumulated together an extraordinary quantity $7
formation upon the dress (and by inference terocefr,
habits and customs) of thirty-one different cisly
France, Germany, Great Britain, the Peninsula,P4efr
Rome, Italy, Switzerland, Russia, Greece, Vl' 1;1!
Persia, Arabia, China, and even Affghanistanis iffd
sides others not enumerated in our catalogues f
her most interesting themes for the display °mile
erudition and research. And in these endeavours OH
Pict the various habiliments—sometimes pictured
sometimes masculine, sometimes effeminate, and s„,"001
times grotesque—popular among different geneirt-ed,
and different climates, the authoress has rec. iYeU ..'707 •
possible assistance from the dainty devices °.,'1,01
illustrators. Among.t so much that is rs:por
and attractive, it would be absolutely '1,,""
stole to individualise any separate portion a' or

most praiseworthy, Almost every one of the 4821141
