HOOD'S MAGAZINE.

It is with very painful feelings that we receive
" Hood's Magazine" this month. Since the last
sember was published the lamented editor. has been
laid in the grave. The hand that was wont to guide
the pen is now cold and powerless; the heart that
beat with kindly sympathy is still ;—the friend of the
poor, the soother of the suffering, is gone to his last
home f No more shall the merry laughter of childhood
re-eeho his playful strains, or the cold and selfish
pause to listen and grow wise. Peace to his ashes,
he needs no storied urn nor animated bust," the
memory of his good deeds will be his noblest monu-
ment. His fame is purer and holier than the grandeur
of the monarch or the glory of the conqueror ; as in
Afe his writings ever touched the heart, so it is in the
hearts of all that he will be regretted and remem-
bered. While we mourn for his loss, we may find
oonaolation in reflecting that his brilliant talents were
ever displayed in a good cause. His was the " wit
that loves to play, not wound," we may apply to him
the words of Mr. Smythe, in his beautiful poem of
"Armand Carrell "

"Oh, ill could we spare him, who, in woe or in weal,
Was the foremost to succour, the foremost to feel ;
But we cannot lament—his blessing is sure,
Who fought the good fight of the feeble and poor."
In an accoutt of the character of the late editor,
the conductors of the Magazine observe " that
every endeavour will be made to carry it on in
the admirable spirit of kindness to all men, in
dish it was projected ; its founder has passed
away, but his spirit will still breathe in its pages."
The name of the new editor will be a sufficient
snerae4se for this assurance; Charles Rowcroft
is alreedy well known to the public, not only as
the author of " Tales of the Colonies," but as one
w4in has sought by his writings to benefit the cause
cif the poor. The first subject in this Number
ii the continuation of the " Bushrangers in
Van Diemen 's Land." The interest excited by the
commencement continues unabated ; it is a wild and
exciting tales described with great animation. "The
Gt,cioe of Landscape Painting" contains much to
interest both amateurs and painters. " Chronicles of
the Fleet" will amuse the lovers of fiction, while po-
liticises will be glad to find a paper on Labour and
Wage!, and another on the "Relations of Rich and
root r• 4` David Teniers" is an amusing sketch, and
a '
.Reminiscence" is calculated to delight the ro-
tnan*2. To judge from the present number, this
!nagasgne bids fair to rival all competitors either in
information or amusement.

• AINSWORTH'S MAGAZINE. No. 41.
This month's Number an attractive specimen
of the varied matter and is
dentertainmentt which Mr.
Ainsworth so well understanh art of periodically
however,
providing for his readers. It
commences,
inauspiciously, with a wretched etching et
Incantation," pertaining to a story ch i
called ng of "The
artist
Magician and the Favourite," in the
very
worst" The
taste and composition of the very careless
fTro-
whose nom de guerre is Phis. The Arbia
loger h a sort of White Conduit Howe -masqua(lie
caricature of "Merlin," or " M.)ther Goose"—
a ir
left,handed impostor, destitute of all interest, dignity, or
character. The Roy -<i favourite is a private-theatrical
piece of chiYalry, mean, spider- legged, and insipid ;
an occasional Hamlet, enacted by some his-
trionic tailor. How su2h a monstrosity cln
have been permitted to find an asylum within
wren that are adorned by the spirited allegorical
qpreposition of Tony Johannot (making all allow-
ajnces fol its heraldic absurdities, which, by the way,
i% far less permanent and less ludicrous than the
stone anomalies which disgrace the front of the two

new Houses of Parliament), we are at a loss to un-
derstand. The sprawling monster at the top of
Phiz's perpetration is, we suppose, meant to be very
appalling ; but it is a vile libel on any one of the
wooden dragons, or crocodiles, sculptured out of
wood, within the bills of mortality, at any " well-
accustomed tea-gardens." The story is sufficiently
well told, though it has no great pretensions to ori-
ginality. It relates to an incident in the early life
of the gallant D'Evereux, Earl of Essex (the ne-
phew of Dudley, Earl of Leicester), whose romantic
passion for the veteran Elizabeth was so savagely re-
paid by the vindictive Queen, and so penitentially de-
plored by the haughty and domineering but popular
mistress, the only limitation to whose marvellous
power in England appeared to be, that which forbade,
even to the intense self-will and concentrated
despotism of a Tudor, the resuscitation of that life
which her ungovernable pride and unscrupulous
jealousy had violently sacrificed. The story is an
interesting episode of astrological divination, common
enough, however, in the history of the great men and
women of the 16th and 17th centuries, in the romantic
life of the ill-fated English Governor of Ireland. It
would be but a bad service to the general reader to an-
ticipate the interest he will assuredly feel in the progress
of this brief narrative. "Ana," or "Anathe," is another
of those essays towards the illustration of classical to-
pography, in which Mr. W. Francis Ainsworth has
already approved himself so successful. The story
of " Maude Doughty" is continued to a satisfactory
and spirited conclusion. " Cove Beach in the
Bathing Season" is a good sketch, in one of the most
beautiful of the beautiful coasts of Ireland. It is a
graphic and well maintained contrast, also, between
the bathing accommodation provided on the shores of
England and of Ireland, respectively. Let the fol-
lowing extract speak for itself

" Imagine it high water, and endeavour to divest
yourself of English prejudice. To be sure, the beach is
open, oommanded by the passers-by in the rear, and the
telescopes of half the ships in harbour in front; but
then, the strand, for a mile and a half, is grouped with
women of all ages and conditions, from the most fasti-
dious city belle to the shoeless water-carrier—age and
infancy, beauty and deformity, fashion and poverty,
gracefulness and decrepitude, congregated without dis-
tinction. There are no machines—the wooden boxes in-
tended to serve as substitutes being " few and far
between," and invariably private property, but each in-
dividual having selected a spot, free from rough stones
and inequalities, to bathe in, with the most perfect sang-
froid proceeds to the task of disrobing herself—the
shelter of a rock, a wrap-cloak, or sheet, being thrown
penance-ways over the head and shoulders, to answer
the temporary purpose of a cabinet de toilette.' Pre-
sently the margin of the river is alive with the most
grotesque masquerade imaginable : here a party of
ladies in blue bathing gowns, and green oiled skin caps,
mince down the strand in slippers; there a band of
young girls rush to the waves, impatient as water dogs
to be amongst them. At some spots stalwart, tucked-
up attendants are carrying out invalids by force; at
others, groups of children are dipping hand in hand,
laughing as gleefully as if playing at bathin, in the
corn-fields; here an old lady cowers at the water's-edge,
while her maid, with a wooden bowl, extemporises a
shower bath; and beyond, a party are exercising them-
selves in evolutions, of which the methodical bathers in
a Brighton machine can form no adequate idea, plunging,
floating, swimming, diving, with all the fearlessness of
Byron's South Sea Maid."

-lily "Theatrical Recollections" by Drinkwater
.I.le. flows i; a poor Affair. " Adventures of Hereward
the Saxon," by T. Wright, continues to improve. A
fine subject, a noble epoch (A.D., 1079), and well
treated. The best paper in the number is, decidedly,
the " Catacombs of Rome "—a terrible but graphic
story of romantic love, perils above ground and below,
faithful passion and rewarded constancy. This is a
capital tale. The review of " Sybil " is a brilliant
feature of this number. We cannot say so much of
Mr. George ilaymond's comments on the original
letters from Mrs. Clive, Horace Walpole, &c. Its
best recommendation is, that it is the "concluding

brity which ROWLAND'S RALYDOR continues to main-

pleasingly evinced. This preparation eminently tabtamic,
restorative, and invigorating, is equally celebrated for
gaiety in application, as fur unfailing efficacy in remov-
ing all impurities and discoloration's ; and imparting a
healthy freshness to the skin and complexion. Its uni-
versally great &man I excites the cupidity of unp,i.,!-
cipled Shopkeepers, who give the title of " Genuine"
KALYDOR to some compounds of their own manufacture,
of the most deleterious character, containing mineral
a Aringents utterly ruinous to the complexion, and, by
their repellant action endangering health. It is, there-
fore, imperative on purchasers to see that the words
" ROWLAND'S KALYDOR" are on the wrapper. All others
are FRAUDULENT COUNTERFEITS !
KING'S COLLEGE HOSPlTAL.—Yesterday morning
a sermon was preached at the parish church of St.
Dunf-tw's in the: West, Fleet-street, by the Right Rev.
the Lord Bishop of Chester. In the course of a very
impres,ive and eloquent apv.-a,l it was stated that " the
Committee being most unwilling to deprive the poor of
any portion of the benefits which they have hitherto de-
rived from the King's College llospital, have resolved
that no efforts on their part shall be waiting to prechyle
the necessity of a measure so much to be deprecated.
They have considered that the object to be kept in view
is not merely to provide for the immediate deficiency,
but to raise such a sum as, when vested in Government
securities, may be drawn upon from time to time, to
meet the necessities of each yoar, until the annual in-
come of the Hospital shall have reached an amount equal
to its expenditure. For this purpose the Committee
conceive that not less than 15,0001. will be necessary ;
and when they recollect the ample fends originally sub-
scribed for the establishment and fitting up of the Hos-
pital, they cannot but entertain a sanguine hope that
their present appeal will ho liberally responded to." The
collection, at the conclusion of Divine service, amounted
to a very satisfactory sum.
LADY HESTER STANHOPE.—Lady Hester Stan..
hope is a name tolerably familiar to most readers, but of
the extraordinary individual to whom it belonged, only
the most marvellous and untrustworthy narratives have
hitherto been made public. Yet few characters (and as-
suredly no female) of modern timed present such re-
markable features. Public curiosity, which has been so
completely baffled respecting her, is now about to be
fully satisfied. The life of the eccentric, yet noble-
minded niece of William Pitt, and grand-daughter of
the Earl of Chatham, is about to be published from ma-
terials of singular interest, preserved by a gentleman who
resided with her Ladyship for many years in her retreat
on Mount Lebanon, enjoying her confidence and her
friendship, and, therefore, intimately acquainted with all
her affairs. We are led to expect a work which cannot
fail of attracting general attention—as much from the
curious picture it will convey of life in the East (of
which no other European had such experience) as from

the publication of Lady Hester Stanhope's opinions and
reminiscences respecting some of the noblest families
in England, and the state of parties, of which she ob-
tained a thorough knowledge during the life-timo of her
celebrated uncle.

FURIOUS DRIVING.—On Thursday night, at eleven
o'clock, whilst the carriage of Lord Charles Beauclerk was passing
through Halkin-street, it was met by a cab, the shaft of which
entered the chest of one of Lord Charles's horses, and killed it on
the spot. This accident was owing to the too common abuse of
hard driving. The cab was proceeding at a furious pace, and came
suddenly on Lord Charles's carriage on turning a corner. The
animal was, we regret to learn, a very One blood horse of great
value._
. - -

An accident, which had nearly proved of serious
consequence to Mr. Rodwell, the composer, occurred on Thursday
night. He was returning home, about twelve o'clock, to his house
in Thurloe-place, Old Brompton, when, In consequence of the
darkness of the road, immediately beyond the Bell and Horns, the
cab in which he was came in violent collision with a carriage
which was standing at the side of the road, the coachman was
thrown off, and at first believed his leg to have been broken. Mr.
Rodwell was dashed forward against the glass front, and In an in..
emit was covered with blood from severe cuts on the forehead and
face ; had the glass penetrated but an inch higher up the cheek, he
would have inevitably lost his right eye. We think it right to call
attention to the shameful neglect which has been shown In this
district to the lighting of the public roads. For upwards of two
years every lamp has been removed, thus offering a temptation on
dark nights to every species of vice and immorality, if not robbery
—setting aside the almost (tuneful dangerous collisions which are
constantly taking place for want of light. When a daring rob-
bery or a murder has occurred, perhaps the authorities will think
it tittle is consult upon the propriety of lighting those roads.
A STEAMER FOUNDERED IN THE RlTElR.—Yester-
day morning, the Waterman steamer, No. 3, which hadlust takes
In several passengers at the Westrainster.bridge floating pier, was
rounding from the landing-place, and had just arrived opposite the
Duke of Buccieuch's mansion, about 200 yards distant, when she
struck violently upon a sunken barge laden with 50 tens of gravel,
belonging to Mr. Mailett, the lighterman, in Lambeth, which had
sunk during the night, and there being no buoy to mark the spot,
the barge was concealed from view. The iron plates on the lar-
board side of the Waterman were driven in by the violence ofthe
shock, and the water rushed into the fore cabin and soon filled it ;
but the vessel being divided into compartments by water. tight
bulk.heads, it could not penetrate farther, and the vessel kept
afloat, and after some difficulty brought up to the Waterman's
Abelphi Pier, at the termination of George-street, Adelphi,
where the passengers were landed, and they proceeded on their
voyage by the next vessel, Waterman No. I. The Waterman
No. 3 was brought up below the Adelphi Pier, and the leak having
been stopped when the tide receded, she was afterwards towed
down to Woolwich for repairs. The accident was entirely owing
to the neglect of the people belonging to the barge, who ought to
have placed a.buoy over it to denote the obstruction after It went
down.

PORT PITILIP.—Some very largo shipments of red
gum for the London market have been made this season as dead
weight to the wool ships. A cabinet-maker in Melbourne has
worked up some of it into a 100 table, which competent judges
declare exceeds in beauty the best Spanish mahogany. One party
alone has felled and sawed out 80,000 feet of the red gum for
exportation.—Adelaids Observer.

It is a very extraordinary circumstance that Mr.
Thomas Bowles, who was on board the Royal George when she
sunk, and who is now, probably, the only sur.,ivor, should have
L•eeu on the Yarmouth Suspension-bridge during the late accident.
He was precipated into the water, but was once more providentially
saved. He is, we hear, about eighty.threa or eighty-four years of
age.—Bury Post.
TRINITY TERM BANQUETS.---Trinity Term, in ac-
cordance with ancient usage, being that in the course of which the

Lady Catherine Cuat Lord Cranley
Lady Lucy Herbert Mr. Robert Clive
The Marchioness of Brearlalbane's Strathspey followed, in

The Countess of Chesterfield Baron de Talleyrand
Lady Cremorne Lord Cranley
The Countess of Craven Lord Cantilupo
Mrs. John Stanley Mr. Levison
Hon. Mrs. Anson Earl of Wilton
Lady Newport Prince Lieven
After the return of her Majesty and Prince Albert and the
illustrious party from supper, the Queen's third minuet was
formed in the Throne-room, and was danced by
The Queen Duke de Nemours
Duchess of Beaufort Prince Albert
Duchess de Nemours Prince Leiningen
Marchioness of Douro Earl of Shelburne
Countess of Wilton Earl of Wilton
Lady Ernest Bruce Marquis of Douro
Countess Bruce Viscount Sydney
Lady Leveson Earl Bruce
Viscountess Canning Marquis of Douglas -
Duchess of Buccleuch Marquis of Exeter
The old English country dance, " Sir Roger de Coverley,"
having been danced in the Picture Gallery, the royal party
returned to the Throne-room, where a quadrille was danced,
and then a minuet (which concluded the ball), in which the
Queen danced with. the Prince of Leiningen, Prince Albert
with the Countess of Wilton, Prince George with the Duchess
de Nemours. The other couples being
Marchioness of Douro Prince Ed. of Saxe Weimar
Duchess of Buccleuch Marquis of Douglas
Lady Cremorne Earl of Wilton
Duchess of Roxburgh. Marquis of Granby
And two other couples.
Her Majesty and Prince Albert and their Illustrious guests,
the Duke and Duchess de Nemours and the Prince of Leinin-
gen, retired at half-past past two o'clock, from the State-rooms,
and the general company took their departure.
Thus closed this magnificent Pe, which completely, as it
were, resuscitated a past age, so perfectly did the aristocracy of
the country, who were her Majesty's guests on this occasion,
identify themselves with the spirit and intention of their
Sovereign. The lapse of three generations might be forgotten,
and the Court of George the Second seemed actually again to
exist. Every dress was a complete study of historical costume,
and the effect of the whole was as interesting and magnificent
as can well be imagined.
A comparison may naturally be made between this second
Bal Costume and that of the reign of Edward, given by her
Majesty three years ago ; and in spite of the gay and brilliant
costume of an age of chivalry, knights in flashing armour--
robes and mantles of velvet—waving plumes and surcoats, glit-
tering with the emblazoning of arms—in spite of all the variety
of a romantic and picturesque age—yet such was the unity of
effect—each the admirable manner in which all her Majesty's
guests had obeyed their instructions, not only in the costume
itself, but also in a measure in adopting the " manner of the
time," that this Fete, in its grave and formal magnificence,
may well take its place by the side of its gay and brilliant pre-
decessor, and leave in doubt to which the preference should be
given.

dred. The following had the honour of being invited :—His
