THE HOME MAGAZINE.

This is the first number of a new adventurer among
the monthly periodicals ; and though the multitude of
its predecessors must preclude it from obtaining a very
wide circulation, the ability it already evinces will entitle
it to general attention. Of the opening article—the in-
troduction of an " anciente storie of the 16th century—
we can merely say it is an attempt, which from its bold-
ness is deserving of success ; it is called, rather poorly
we opine, " The Royal Marriage." To this are ap-
pended a few critical observations on the recent works of
Michelet, Gilfillan, and Carlyle, upon the reprint of
Hood's poems, and upon Lamartine—noble amidst the
poets of Gaul. These effusions are on the average
tolerably good specimens of reviewing—neat, rather
than vigorous. They form, however, a fair characteristic
of the Home Magazine generally. •

THE RIVER PLATE.

LIVERPOOL, APRIL 4.—Accounts from Monte Video to the.
31st of January, and from Buenos Ayres to the 28th, have
been received by her Majesty's troop-ship Apollo, arrived at
Portsmouth.
The intelligence is of considerable interest. Oa the 16th
of January the mercantile expedition up the Parana had
ascended the river to within thirty miles of Santa Fe, under
the convoy of five vessels of war, preceded in advance 14
her Majesty's steam. frigate Firebrand, and the French
steamer Fulton. On the afternoon of that day, whilst pro'
ceeding through a narrow pass, the ships .were tired upott
for several hours from the heights, which had been taker'
possession of by General Mantilla, with eight pieces of artil-
lery. The shells and heavy guns from the squadron could
not reach them. It does not appear that any of the vessel 3
suffered from the cannonade.

Some of Riverista's officers, with a small force, bad beer,
completely annihilated, near Maldonado, by a very superior
force, under General Barrios, and in consequence MaldonadS,
had been abandoned, and upwards of 300 of its-families has
taken refuge in Monte Video.
Advices had been received in the River Plate to the 1801
of December from Liverpool, by the Columbus, vicl Pern!urt,
buco and Rio. Her Majesty's steamer Alecto had arrived
from Portsmouth at Monte Video, and wais to proceed in
mediately up the Parana. Conjecture was busy as to the
object of the mission.
From Buenos Ayres there are dates to the: 26th Janua'l'
Ro,as was issuing 2,500,000 of paper dollars r aonthly, to rite"
the demands upon his treasury. Their steeling value, holv
ever, is very insignificant, exchange on England being as 10(
as 2d. per dollar.

SIMMONDS'S COLONIAL.

Charles ,Houton,. we perceive, has joined the corps of
this Magazine ; hie vary first contribution proves that
he will be an acquisition. Though some may remember
his " Rides, Rambles, and Sketches in Texas," when.

they appeared some years back in Tait, they, will not
regret a • renewal: of that 'acquaintance. " Arctic and
Antarctic Discoveries" is a valuable paper ; it is replete
with facts, newly arranged and accompanied with sen-
sible comments. The " Tale of Australia" advances
both in extent, interest, and ability ; so, also do the
" Reminiscences of the Island of Cuba." " Emigration
and Colonisation" is deserving of serious consideration;
but so indeed is the entire number, which is good in
more than one particular.

CAUTION,

The public on the continent is particularly cautioned not to pur-
chase MORISON'S PILLS except of Merchants well known as to
their respectability. This warning Is deemed highly necessary on
account of the numerous counterfeits of Morison's Pills which are
sold in various parts of the world, but more especially in the different
States of Germany, and the United States of America.

HOLIDAY AMUSEMENTS.
SADLERS WELLS.
Mr. Phelps and Mrs. Warner, in their laudable en-
deavours to cater for the amusement of the good folks
of Islington and its vicinity, seem to have caught some-
thing of the mania which has lately to so large an ex-
tent existed in the metropolis, and which has developed
itself in the various forms of American minstrelsy which
have been brought before the public. Last night Mr.
Henry Phiilips favoured the visitors to this theatre with
the first part of his adventures in America ; and, in con-
junction with Miss Rollo Dickson, interspersed his re-
marks on the sayings and doings of the land of the West
by some very excellent transatlantic melodies. The ac-
count of his adventures was delivered in a free and pleas •
ing manner, and several of his anecdotes, tending
to illustrate the unceremonious and inquisitive charac-
ter of the Kentuckians, caused considerable merriment.
His Song of the Ohio was of the most laughable and
grotesque nature. On the high pressure steam boats on
the Ohio it is a custom with the engineers and stokers
to share with themselves the pleasure of a vocal concert.
On these occasions the white men take the initiative
and lead off, while the blacks content themselves with
the choruses. The peculiar nasal sound of their weak
and discordant voice, contrasting with the bold and
manly style of their leaders, has a most ridiculous effect,
and the manner in which Mr. Phillips imitated this pe-
culiarity was excellent, and was deservedly encored.
The "Song of the Fisherman," written by Barry
Cornwall, was also sung with his usual sbility. At
the conclusion of his adventures he sang several other
Anglish and .Irish songs. Among these—" Shall I,
svastynge in despair, 1650," G. Withers ; " Down
among the dead men," a bacchanalian song of 1660 ;
and " The Sea Fight," by Dryden ; all of which were
svell'received. Miss Rolla Dickson sang in very pretty
style " The Bells of New York." It was announced
that on Wednesday evening next, Mr. Phillips would
give the second part of his adventures. We hope that
Upon that occasion he will have a more numerous au-
dience, a more delighted one he could not possibly
have.

SOUTH DEVON RAILWAY.

This line of railway, the opening of which from
various causes has been so long delayed, and which was
originally intended to have been worked upon the atmos-
pheric principle, was on Saturday opened as a locomotive
line. The day was a remarkably fine one, and was
celebrated as a holvday along the course of the line,
which runs through a most picturesque and romantic
portion of the country. The line, starting from Exeter,
passes elm% some meadows and follows the course of the
Exe, giving some magnificent views of the city of Exeter,
the extensive estuary of the Exe, the towns of Topsham,
Lympstone, and Exmouth in the distance. On the other
side of the river, as you progress along the line, are seen
Powderham-park and castle, the seat of his Grace the
Duke of Devonshire. After passing the Starcross-station,
the appearance of the line becomes still mere romantic,
for you are carried apparently through the sea, the line
running close to the mouth of the Exe I it then runs
into a very deep cutting through the Langstone cliffs,

ADELPHI.

At this theatre the Whitsun holydays have caused no
variation of the entertainments usually presented to the
public. Indeed, no alteration was called for, as the pieces
which have been presented to notice during the last
fortnight are of that description that they rarely fail to
attract an audience. The merits of The Memoirs of an
Umbrella have already been sufficiently canvassed by the
public, and it will be sufficient to say that the parts were
sustained with unusual spirit, and some passages were so
delivered as to cause, not the acclamation which
follows a hackneyed sentiment or claptrap, but the
genuine and heartfelt applause which is justly due to
good acting. In the drama of the Cabin Boy which
followed, Madame Celeste was more than usually bril-
liant; and the extravaganza of Peter Wilkins concluded
the evening's amusements. The theatre was not nume-
rously attended; but this fact may be attributed to the
extreme fineness of the weather, which rendered other
amusements more attractive. The audience were, how-
ever, more select than is usual in holiday time, and were
so fir satisfied that not one mark of disapprobation was
exhibited throughout the evening.
