CLOTH, 6 and 7 Victoria, cap. 65.

Patronised by the Prince Consort, Prince George of Cambridge, the
Duke of Wellington, and the following distinguished visitors to this
country :—The Emperor of Russia, the King of Prussia, the King of
Belgium, the King of Saxony, the King of Holland, Prince William
of Prussia, and further honoured by the continued patronage of all
who seek an unaffected gentlemanly appearance. The cloth is
made of Llama Wool, a fabric most agreeably soft and elastic to the
touch, and is one-third the weight of ordinary woollen clothes, but it
corresponds in shades of colour. It is very durable, and naturally a
repellent of rain, yet so porous as to admit of a due escape of exces-
sive bodily heat. These advantages, with the very moderate price
charged..xonders theltegistered Pkletot worthy the attention of all.
They can be purchased in London, of the Patentees only, at their

PROTEAN RUMBLE.
This useful, elegant, and compact Invention completely supersedes
the old-fashioned rumble, and clumsy turn-over seat. The simplicity
of its construction is such that, when closed, it stands erect as an
opera-hoard, protecting the back panel of the carriage. or may be
laid down and used as a footman's standard, and when open is a
safe, strong, seat for two persons. It can be applied to any of the
above uses, or removed at pleasure in a few moments, and is
easily fixed to any four-wheeled carriage.

„ Jacquesßonhomme"
is
aphiLsltcieutecloiefsaoplapSewilibtzyerLlaardoy
Duff Gordon. And who is Jacques Bonhomme? per-
l.
chance the reader may ask. Why, Jacques Bonhomme is
to France what John Bell is to England, the impersonation
of the national character ; and whoever wishcs to know
the true character of the French people—that is of the
sound and.thinking portion of them, in fact, the great and
powerful majority, which is quiescent from its very
strength, which has but to will to be obeyed—should read
this paper. Jacques Bonhomme is an excellent fellow with
sound good sense and a warm heart, somewhat preju-
diced perhaps (and so is John Bull fbr that matter), but
sound at the core. We have a great liking for this said
Jacques Bonhomme. We have a very valuable paper
on the " Albigenses and the Troubadours ; and Mr.
Albert Smith continues his demonstations of " Popular
Zoology." The tourists are the subject of the present dis•
section. The following account of the doings of the con-
ventional tourist in Paris is true to the letter:—

"At Paris he goeth tc-11IeuTee's,or Lawson's, and seeth
the sights by rule, as they are put down in the handbook.
He formeth his notions of 'Paris in this wise. He stayeth at
an English hotel, and is waited on by English servants. He
meeteth nought but English people at the table d'hote; he
bath an English lacquais de place, and readeth the English
papers. He buyeth even English things to take home with
him, at shops where they write up "English spoken here,"
and speaketh English himself, all day long. And then he
sayeth to himself, "when I get home I will write a book
upon Paris and its people." He thinketh it •right to dine
once at Verey's, or Vefour's; and once at the Rocher de Can-
cale ; and delighteth in ordering the dinner himself, albeit,
he maketh wild shots at the dishes, and if there is a party of
three or four, amazeth the garcon, by ordering a portion a
piece, for everybody. He cloth not much like the French
theatres, but goeth as a duty, and laugheth with the audi-
ence, as do many at the French plays in London ; but he un-
derstandeth not a line he heareth ; and therefore doth he
prefer Franconi's. lie findeth that his best clothes, brought
from London, produce not the effect he desireth in Paris ; and
thereon riggeth himself out in the Palais Royal. But he doth not
approach nearer to the Frenchman for all that ; and when be
goeth to the hiessageries, in the Rue Notre Dame des Vic-
toires, and asketh," Esker eel e sr oon diligence,mossieu,poor
Genave ?" he is disgusted to hear the clerk reply inconti-
nently, " Yes, sir, every morning at eight o'clock."
Everard Clive contributes a clever Plutarchian parallel
of Jugurtha and Abd-el-Kader. This paper is illus-
trated by a portrait of the Emir, drawn from the life,
by De Rozetti, an artist in the French service, while a
prisoner in Abd-el-Kader's camp. The following de-
scription of the personal appearance of this celebrated
Arab chieftain, which is quoted as for a forthcoming
work by Count St. Marie, may prove not uninteresting
to some of our readers:—

"His costume is very simple. He wears the Arab haick,
fixed on the top of his head by a string of camel hair. Over
his woollen shirt he has a white burnouse, and over that an-
other burnouse, striped white and brawn. His legs are en-
closed in yellow morocco boots. His beard is black, and un-
shaven, like all the Arabs who have made the pilgrimage to
Mecca. He is deeply marked with the small-pox. His
features are prominent and decided, and his full black eye is
expressive of extraordinary firmness of character."
A glorious " Tipperary Hall," redolent of fun and
frolic, learning, wit, and poetry, concludes this, one of
the best numbers of Bentley that has yet appeared.

scarcely approached as he is in the latter. We renew
our acquaintance gladly with the 'Cabinet of Gems and
Curiosities;" those for July being culled from Hogg,
Drayton, Barnefield. Milton, Shakepere, and others; but
wepcnfess ourselves surprised that, in treatieg of the
nightingale, any reference to Keats's gliltioni ode to that
melancholy songstress is omitted. Among the " Mis-
cellaneous Gems" we have dainty fragments ; and what
a delicious thought is that from Marston's " Gerald"—
" A statue's silence—is the sculptor's voice."
The verses to the no;e, by Samuel Go ver, are likewise
brimming with beauty. There are seine lines, entitled
`• The Picture Gallery," which we are fain to attribute
to the accomplished actress Miss Vandenhoff—can our
conjecture be correct ? In the "Voices from the Past,"
there is discoverable not only melody but feeling ; the
writer had the perceptive faculties well developed we
should imagine, and deep susceptibilities for the beauti-
ful and tender. "0. how I love to listen," and " I can't
make up my mind," by I. H. I. are of a contrasting
excellence, the former pensive, the latter playful. The
poetical contributions which are, however, the most to
our mind in this number are entitled " Sunlight upon
the Waters," from the pen which produced the "Rural
Sonnets." From the number of composite phrases
scattered through these sonnets upon sunlight, we
should imagine that the author has latterly become im-
bued with a fondness for the Anglo-German diction of
Carlyle, for example, " atoms-shatter'd," " radiance-
flush'd," " stormleatur'd," and the like. Nevertheless,
this somewhat rugged concomitant does not deteriorate
either the music of the metre or fantastic delicacy of
the imagery. After dilating upon the lustrous
gling of sunlight and water in the rainbow, comes this
charming sonnet :

"Lo ! on a lesser scale, 'tis still the theme,—
Spangling in dew-drops o'er the bladed grass;
Bright'ning the shallows of the pebbled stream,
Thro' which the naked-footed urchins pass;
When in some reservoir, or large, or small,
It draws the basking inmates to the brim,
As, on their scales of gold and silver, fall
Th' exhilirating rays in which they swim ;
Or when some well-oar'd boat, in swift advance,
Quickens the strokes from which the waters glance;
Or when, to take her bath, th' imperial swan
Flutters, for glee, the surface in her track,

Stoops her arch'd neck, down-diving, and, anon,
Showers liquid brilliants o'er her plumage-ruffled back."
Such is the description of poetry introduced thus plenti-
fully into the pages of Hood, and we are singularly
mistaken if this difference from the ordinary run of
magazine literature does not prove acceptable to its
purchasers. Though we are haunted by the " Bush-
ranger," and the " White Cloud," and " Nell Gwynne,"
and the " Seige of Antioch," we are so well satisfied
with the other portions of this periodical that we close
the number with satisfaction.
