LITERATURE.

was riding late one day over a battle-field, gazing, stern
and unmoved, over the dying and the dead that strewed
the ground by thousands round about him, when, sud-
denly, " those Evening Bells" struck up a merry peal.
The Emperor paused to listen: his heart was softened—
memory was busy with the past: he was no longer the
conqueror of Austerlitz, but the innocent, happy school-
boy at Brientz; and, dismounting from his horse, he
seated himself on the stump of an old tree, and, to the
astonishment of Rapp, who relates the circumstance,
burst into tears.' Our gossip, a thing of shreds and
patches,' is too long to tell of young Fergusson's early
wonder at the power of the lever, and his thus acquired
fondness for Natural Philosophy, and of other like
sensuous influenees which have lit up a love for specific
pursuits; but we cannot forego to speak of the influence
of scenery on the mind, by pointing to the death of the
restless Rousseau, who, a few minutes before he breathed
his last, spoke thus to his wife:—' Be so good as to open
the window, that I may have the pleasure of seeing
once more the verdure of that field. How beautiful it
is! How pure the air! How serene the sky! What
magnificence in the aspect of nature! Look at the sun.
whose smiling aspect seems to call me hence! God
himself opens to me the bosom of his paternal goodness,
and invites me to taste and enjoy, at last, that eternal
tranquillity which I have so long and so ardently panted
for.' It was on the Lake of Geneva that Byron corn:.
posed the most beautiful portions of Chile Harold:' the
soft beauties of the place seemed, for a time, to woo Milt
from the reckless career he too much loved."

Lord Rivers. Lord in Waiting. In the fourth carriage
were Count Mercy d'Argenteau and Major d'Hanins de
Moorkerke, Gentlemen in Waiting on the King of the
Belgians ; Colonel Berkeley Drummond, Groom in
Waiting, and Major-General Wemyss, Equerry in
IVaiting.
The Queen and their Belgian Majesties were con-
d,tcted to their carriage by the Lord Chamberlain and
the Vice-Chamberlain.
The Royal party were escorted by a party of Light
I).'agoons from Buckingham Palace to the terminus of
the -Great 'Western railway, at Paddington, and left
town by a special train, for Windsor Castle.
A paragraph having appeared in some of the Morning
Papers of yesterday, stating that the State Apartments
at Windsor Castle will be open to the public on Good
Friday, we have now authority to state that such will
not be the case, but that the public will be admitted on
Easter Sunday between the Church Services, and during
the Easter week as usual. _ _ _

TIME VERSUS LlFE.—Sherwood, London, 1844.
The author of this skilful treatise observes, in his
preface, "the 'following pages, though the result of
long practical observation, are presented in a form
rather popular thak professional ; not because they
are destitute of observations which may be useful to
the practitioner, but beeause I consider that impor-
tant medical truths, where they are sufficiently
simple, should be made to enlighten that public they are
meant to benefit, rather than suffer refraction through
any mediuM, however bright and pure." The great
fault in most treatises of this sort is, that they are
penned in too professional a spirit," and abound in
technicalities intelligible only to the faculty ; but
this is not the case with the work before us, which
gives in simple and perspicuous terms such directions
for the preservation of health as are likely to be most
serviceable to the community. Thachapters on the
effect of "Atmospheric Changes," on "Diet," and
the best method of regulating it, and on the influence
which age exercises on the "Digestive Organs," may
be perused with great advantage by the reader, for
they are evidently the result of long practical experi-
ence, and are wholly free from the crotchety theories
in which medical treatises so often abound.

Her Royal Highness the Duchess of Kent left her re-
sidence, Clarence House, St. James's, in a carriage and
four, at one o'clock yesterday afternoon, for Kew. where
the Royal Duchess partook of a dejeune with the
Duchess of Cambridge. The Duchess of Kent af-
terwards proceeded to Frogmore Lodge, near Windsor,
where her Royal Highness arrived, attended by Lady
Anna Maria Dawson and Sir George Cooper.
His Excellency the Belgian Minister left town yester-
day afternoon for Windsor Castle on a visit to her Ma-
jesty.
His Excellency M. Dedel had an interview with Lord
Aberdeen yesterday at the Foreign-office.
Dispatches for Sir Charles Metcalfe, Governor of
Canada, and for the Governors of the other North Ame-
rican colonies, were sent off yesterday miming from the
Colonial-office. _ _ _

MAGAZINES—CONTINUED.
HOOD'S MAGAZINE.
We received this Magazine at so late an hour, that
we were unable to. include. it arpoug our usual
periodical notices of the month. Among the poetical
contributors, we find Mrs. Norton, Messrs. Monck-
ton Milnes, Wood, Mackay, and Lover. The lady's
poem is the best; it is intitled " How lately the Joy
bells were ringing ;" and pourtrays in simple and
touching language the death of a young and beautiful
woman shortly after her marriage. We subjoin the
closing lines :
But an awful and glorious meeting
Remaineth to comfort us yet,
In a world where our hopes are not fleeting,
Where the sunshine of joy shall not set.
There, night shall be turned into morning,
And Darkness give place unto Day,
The bruising, the weeping, the scorning,
The turmoil of life pass away.
Them, gladly that innocent Spirit
(Renewed by a Heavenly birth)
Whole ages of bliss shall inherit
For an hour of sorrow on Earth !
Yet hard is the Parents' deep anguish
Though by Faith, and Religion beguiled
Long, long must they sorrow and languish
And yearn for their beautiful child. -
And long,—for his heart is but human,—
The desolate bridegroom shall grieve,
And that sweet face, half child and half woman,
Still haunt him at morning and eve :
..At the sound of her light footsteps falling
He shall murmur and smile in his sleep :
In dreams he shall hear her voice calling
And wake, to remember and weep !
The " Ship-breaker's yard" is a prose tale, or legen I,
in which there is some good description mixed with
much that is fantastic. A " Receipt for the Manu-
facture of Marriages" is a lively story, the dialogue
poitions of which are neat and pointed, and appa-
rently without effort.. The " Matchmaker" is one of
Mrs. Hall's knowing and good-natured sketches of
character. The Editor contributes an allegorical
poem on the " Workhouse Clock," blit it is not in
his Most successful manner.

Count Bjornstjerna, the Swedish Minister, accompa-
nied by Baron Stjernerona, transacted business yester-
day at the Foreign-office.

WINDSOR, WEDNESDAY.—Her Majesty, accompanied

vorst, Hon. Miss Paget, Hon. Miss Liddell, Lord
Rivers, Count Mercy d'Argenteau, Major de Moer
kerke, Colonel Drummond, and General Wemyss, fol-
lowed in Royal carriages.
His Excellency M. Van de Weyer arrived from town
