LI TERA T LIRE.
THE THREE KINGDOMS. 2 Vols.
Bentley, London, 1844.

In these volumes we have an account of the Viscount
D'Arlincourt's travels through England, Scotland,
and Ireland. The work is penned in a slight and
superficial spirit, but it is not, on the whole, un-
amusing, for the author never dwells too long and
wearisomely on any one topic, but hurries from sub-
ject to subject with the velocity of a bird of passage.
The most entertaining portion of his volumes is that
which refers to Scotland, whose varied scenery, toge-
ther with the impression it made on him, he describes
with infinite relish, and gives a lively account of a
day or two he passed at Eglinton Castle, and of his
visit to the far-famed and romantic island of Staffa.

THE GOVERNESS. C. Knight, London, 1844.
There are many sensible reflections in this unas-
suming little duodecimo on the important subject of
female education, and the duties of governesses.
" Can we safely assert," asks the author, " that
woman is more informed, more excellent, more
adapted to the duties peculiar to her station and her
sex, than in the days of our mothers—that she is more
exempt from the failings of her sex, or less liable to
their errors ? If the answer is even doubtful, the
work of education is still imperfectly understood."
There is no doubt that, even in the present improved
age, the work of female education is not so well un-
derstood as could be wished ; still there is no denying
the fact that it has made great progress within the last
ten or twenty years, and that women are now infi-
nitely better and more carefully instructed than they
were in the days of their immediate predeces-
sors. Not only are they more accom-
plished, but the knowledge they acquire is of a
sounder and more practical character, and they are
now, in an immense number of instances, qualified
to take part in conversations which would have been
wholly unintelligible to their mothers. Formerig, if
they could sing a little—play a little—dance a little,
and paint a few extraordinary flowers on card-board,
they were considered to be perfect in all that it was
necessary they should know ; but this is the case no
longer; more, much more is expected from them ;
and it is doing them no more than justice to say that
in very many cases they fulfil all the increased ex-
pectations of society, and are yearly approximating
nearer to man, in point of equality of intellect. The
author of the little volume before us points out some
of the more obvious deficiencies that still exist in the
present system of female education ; and his remarks
are deserving of consideration, for they are apparently
the result of an extensive practical acquaintance with
the subject.

VICTORIA THEATRE.

The holiday folk assembled last night at this well-
known house in great numbers, but unfortunately,
through the peccadillo of one of the members of the
corps dramatique, they were doomed to be disap-
pointed. A piece, which was. not produced, had been
for several days previously announced in the attrac-
tive phraseology, and conspicuously varied type of an
unusually large-sized playbill, to be in preparation
for commencing the evening's entertainments, and of
course much was anticipated, and, as a natural
sequence, many were disappointed. The piece was
stated to be " a new historical drama, in three acts,
preceded by a prefatory introduction in one act, en-
titled Hugo Mauravert, or the Poison King ;" but as
the chief character had been entrusted to a gentleman
who had, within a few hours of the opening of the
doors, eloped, as it was rumoured, with the fair pro-
prietress of the saloon attached to the theatre, the
audience were treated to the following notice instead
of the historical drama :

" The public are respe'tfully informed that in conse-
quence of Mr. Freer having so suddenly and unjustifi-
ably withdrawn himself from the theatre, even at the
notice of a few hours only, it will be impossible to per-
furm, for the present, the drama of Hugo lilaura-
vert, as already advertised. The manager, therefore,
throws himself on the indulgence of the audience, and, in
giving this public notice, begs to announce that OR this
evening, Monday, May 27, will be performed the cele-
brated play of the Stranger."
This at first produced a slight convulsion ; but the
excellent acting of Mr. Osbaldiston and Miss Vin-
cent soon restored order, and the evening passed
away with animation and good humour. Subse-
quently to The Stranger, two pieces were presented,
the first called Ccesar, the Dutch Dog of the Castle,
and the second The Parting Kiss. Of the former,
the less said the better. It reflects no merit on the
author, while its incidents are a libel on the taste and
general good judgment of the indefatigable manager.
'1 he last is a two act nautical drama, of the old
school, being plentifully interspersed with music,
broad-sword combats, and abounding largely in ma-
rine scenic effects.

the part of the holiday-keeping public. The rooms were
well filled throughout the day, and, as the exhibition is
rich in every department of art, it did not fail to gratify
the most sanguine expectations of the visitors.

LEANDER.

We find that in one particular we were misinformed
as to the travels of the lower jaw of this unlucky
animal, which does not appear to have been taken by
Mr. Forth to Messrs. Weatherby; but of his decla ration
(made in the presence of Lord Stradbroke) that he
had been imposed upon by-the Messrs. Lichtwald,
and of the other particulars of this singular affair, our
account was substantially correct.

PROBABLE VALUE AS AN INVESTMENT FOR

CAPITAL.

It may be laid down, as a general rule, that any Railway having
Paris for one of Its termini cannot be otherwise than good. Every
Shareholder in the English Railways will readily see that the least
productive amongst them would be se, if the dividends were to ba
computed only upon the capital required for completing the upper
works, fencing, and stocking the Line. This is precisely the case
lu all the French Railways now before the Chamber..
The result of one year's experience (May, 1844) after the open-
ing of the Paris and Rouen, and the Paris and Orleans Lines, and,
with a traffic as yet but partially developed, on either, is conclu-
sive as to the great value of the French Railways, as an investment,
seder good and emsomical management.
The receipts on the Paris and Rouen Line, upon a length• of
eigisty.four miles, for the month ending April 30th, 1844 were,
i• British currency, 19,9841., or at the rate of 259,6821. per
mown. The dividend actually paid from the 9th May to 30th

Septembee last (14S days) was after the rate of eight per cent, per
annum, exclusive of a sinking fund. The present market price of
a 201. Share is 371. 101.
The receipts on the Paris and Orleans Railway, upon a length
of eighty-two miles, for the month ending April 30th, 11140, Were
24,0111. 7s. 2d., or at the rate of 312,7971. 13s. 2d. per annum.
There is a capital • f 50,000,000 of francs (2,000,0001.) to be
provided for. The present market price of a 901. Share is 381.
It must be borne in mind that, in the case of both these Com-
panies, the whole cost of the land, works, buildings, and of a com-
plete carrying establishment, was defrayed out i.f their own capital.
In the case of the Orleans, Tours, and Bordeaux Company, at
least one-half, perhaps three.fifths, of the whole cost of the corn.
plete Railway, in the most efficient working condition, will be de-
frayed by the State!
The difference between the capital of the Paris and Orleans
Company (2,000,0001.) and that required for the Orleans, Tours,
and Bordeaux Railway (2,100,0001.) which is amply sufficient, is
not very considerable; while the latter is nearly four times the
length of the former, and traverses some of the richest, most
fertile, and most populous regions of Western, South-Western,
and Southern France.
Tie importance of this Railway may be inferred from the fact
that the twenty-five departments traversed by, or collaterally con-
nected with it, comprise an aggregate population of 9,318,000
souls, and contains 283 cities and towns, with a population of
1,760,000 persons, to whom the advantages of railway communi.

cattou will be thus efrarded.

FRENCH CONVICTS.

At Toulon nearly three thousand of these unhappy
beings are confined in the bane. In former times, Frenh
convicts were placed as rowers on board the royal galleys ;
but galleys are not now in use ; and though the felon,
when condemned, is still spoken of as a galley-slave, yet
these slaves are no longer employed in the naval service
of their country, except to perform aow and then a little
light labour about the arsenal. Like all slaves, they are
of little value as workmen ; for the labour obtained by
the fear of the lash is generally the most expensive labour
that an employer can have. In the naval dock -yards of
Toulon the convicts may be seen lounging about in
groups, while the freemen, who labour for wages, are the
only men who really work. It is the same all the world
over. Where great exertion, either mental or bodily, is re-
quired, the man who labours on compulsion, will always
break down. The Russian nobles, for instance, know by
experience, that they dare not intrust their herds of wild
horses in the southern steppes to the keeping of their
serfs. No dregd of corporal punishment is sufficient to
obtain from a li srdsman that unceasing care and vigi-
lance requisite in one who has a taboun of wild Tartar
horses to look after. The French convicts wear a prison
dress something like our own. The uniform at Toulon
consists of yellow trowsers and red jackets. Those
sentenced for life wear a green dress, and those who
have escaped from prison and been re-captured, are
distinguished by a yellow sleeve. Each man has a num-
ber, and that number is the only name he is known by
in the bagne. Formerly the convicts were branded
with a hot iron ; but this barbarous practice has
of late years been discontinued. Not the least re-
markable feature of the system is the enormous number
of officers to the prison, and their singular inefficiency.
To supe intend less than three thousand prisoners,
nearly all of whom are heavily ironed, there are five
hundred keepers ; and these are constantly and painfully
on the watch lest their interesting charges should misuse
themselves by firing the arsenal, in the hope of escaping
in the confusion that would probably ensue. The bagne
is the regular lion to which all strangers are taken who
come to Toulon. and the prisoners are in the habit of
making articles of various kinds for sale to the visitors.
The money received is not given to the prisoner, but is
placed to his a •count, and he receives it when he has
erved out his time.—Foreign Quarterly Review.

Mr. G. Wild gratified the holiday-makers last
night, by a revival, or reproduction, of that panto-
mime of pantomimes, Mother Goose, which George
the Third patronised above all others, and which
Lord Eldon—the always-doubting and never-deciding
Lord Eldon—went fourteen times to see. We be-
lieve its glories from tradition only, for we never saw
it ; and as Joe Grimaldi is gone, and the manuscript

uf the piece is said to have been burned with Ellyn,-
lane, we are willing to admit to the old folks that no
such pantomime ever was befure, or ever will be again
produced. But it is something to revive the traditionary
points of such a piece. This the Olympic play-bill
assures us has been done; the comic business of the
Opening was well got up, and the dresses and masks
had a fresh appearance that spoke favourably. The
music is said to be revived from the old score. Mr.
Bologna and Mr. Jefferini were the Harlequin and
Clown ; Mr. Hartland was the Pantaloon. The part of
Columbine was very gracefully danced by Miss E.
Gates. The house was well filled, and the pantomime
was favourably received.

SADLER'S WELLS.

" 'Tis true 'tis pity, and pity 'tis 'tis true," in
those days of enlightenment, we have to announce
the performance of Macbeth so far away from the
aristocratic the " monied"— the " pelf-hoarding"
regions of the West as Sadler's Wells. The lo-
cality is nothing ; the absence of Shakespeare
from the "national ?" theatres is another ; but glad
are we to say that, although there was an audience
so crammed together as to cause many recriminations
at first, the moment the curtain rose, and the develop-
ment of the ideas of our immortal bard commenced,
the dropping of a pin might have been heard in
the house. Mrs. Warner was the Lady Macbeth,
Mr. Phelps; the usurper. Few persons who have
watched this lady's stage career can be at all sur-
prised, when we say that throughout the whole piece
she made tangible to the " readers" of Shakspeare
the creations of his imagination. Mr. Phelps as
Macbeth, displayed much knowledge and study of his
author, but some would feel almost inclined to think
that a sight degree of modulation in some parts of
his delivery might give a little more effect. In say-
ing this, we mean not in the slightestdegree to depre-
ciate Mr. Phelps' high talents. The dissection of the
tragedy of Macbeth would be an act of pedantry dur-
ing the present reading mania, which increases
and will as time rolls by, but we must say, in sadness
and sorrow, that to see the talent which can at the
present day embody the conceptions of England's—
the world's—intellectual idol, you must walk as far
towards Islington as Sadler's Wehs, and turn your
back upon Grosvenor, Berkeley, and sundry other
aristocratical and (consequently ?) intellectual squares,
crescents, and quadrangles. Mrs. Warner delivered
an address after the conclusion of the tragedy with
her usual grace, in which was an expression of regret
for the absence of—can it be called appreciation ?
scarcely—but of attention to the attempts of deve-
loping the ideas of him " who was not for an age, but
for all time." Happy are we to say that there was
quite enough of the good old leaven—albeit, those
who manifested it might never have occupied s stall
at the Opera—to appreciate and loudly applaud the
lady at the conclusion of the epilogue. The next
performance was that of the Hunter's Bride, or
the Rose qf Altenheim, the music of which was by
Mr. Clement White, and in this case he supported
his honestly earned reputation. Mr. George Forman
(lately of the Adelphi Theatre) sustained the rather
difficult character of Maximilian Blokk, and
drew down roars of laughter by his quaint
humour. Few men could have more effec-
tively brought out before the audience such
a character as he had to support in this piece.
" Though last, not least," comes Miss Lebatt, who,
both as an actress and a songstress, was appreciated
by every person of taste and feeling. In conclusion,
we shall address ourselves to old English feeling, and
say, if you like to see the best performance of Shak-
speare (at the present time), and the travestied im-
personation of what we see and hear around us passing
every day, go to Sadlers' Wells.

ORLANDO AND RUNNING REIN.

The following is a statement of the case as it now
stands :—Anxious, for the sake of the settling, to
bring the matter to as speedy' a ' termination as pos-
sible, Colonel Peel, on Friday last, made a proposi-
eion, through the Stewards, to refer it, under the re-
cent Act of Parliament, giving arbitrators the power
to examine witnesses on oath, to a barrister, to be
selected by the Lord Chief justice. This proposition
was forwarded by the Stewards to Mr. A. Wood,
who refused to accede to it. On this the Stewards
considered themselves absolved from any further re-
sponsibility in the affair, a communication to that
erect was forthwith made to the different parties.
Colonel Peel immediately placed the matter in the
hands of his solicitor; and on Saturday process was
servedon the stakeholder. The betting yesterday
was even. •

WATER-COLOUR EXHIBITION,
PALL-MALL EAST.

The fortieth exhibition of this society, which is now
open, is generally deemed equal to the best which has
occurred since the formation of the society. The exer •
tions of the members appear to suffer no diminution ;
but, on the contrary, they have rendered their present
annual exhibition worthy the reputation they have ac-
quired in former years. The liberal patronage of the
public has, in consequence, been their reward.
NEW WATER-COLOUR EXHIBITION,
PALL-MALL.
The excellent quality of the specimens which adorn
the walls of both these exhibitions is a proof of great
attention paid by our artists to the cultivation of this
branch of the fine arts, in which they have long been
held to excel all the world. Like its predecessor, the
exhibition-room of this society received its due share of
the patronage of the holiday-keeping public.
THE PARISIAN VENUS.

This is an exhibition completely per se, having, from
its peculiarity, no competitors in the metropolis. It
consists of a beautiful model, in wax, of a recumbent
female, on removing portions of the surface of which the
whole internal organization of the body is displayed to
view. Every part is finished with the most perfect
accuracy as regards anatomical detail, and it may be re-
garded not only as an object of amusement but of useful
information, in relation to the study of the human frame.
THE PANORAMAS, LEICESTER-SQUARE.
A strong desire to view our newly-acquired territory
of Hong-Kong, of which Mr. Burford's Panorama is
allowed to be a perfectly correct representation, was of
course to be expected on such a day of recreation to the
metropolitans as Whit-Monday. Independent of the
exactitude of the resemblance, this panorama, like all
which have from time to time emanated from the same
hand, is entitled to high praise from its pictorial beauty
And artist-like execution.
The other panoramas on view at Mr. Burford's rooms
ttra representations of Treport, with the landing of her
Majesty and Prince Albert ; and a beautifully painted
portrait of Baden Baden, the Cheltenham of Germany.

LEANDER.

We find that in one particular we were misinformed
as to the travels of the lower jaw of this unlucky
animal, which does not appear to have been taken by
Mr. Forth to Messrs. Weatherby; but of his declaration
(made in the presence of Lord Stradbroke) that he
had been imposed upon by the Messrs. Lichtwald,
and of the other particulars of this singular affair, our
account was substantially correct.

BRIGHTON, AIAY 2G.—lt is said to be in contem-
plation to add a new wing to the Pavilion, for the pur-
pose of obtaining a better view of the sea. Yesterday
a gentleman from the office of Woois and Forests was
engaged in measuring the ground for the site of the pro-
posed wing.
SCOTT MONUMENT.—The Earl of Weyinss has li-
berally transmitted 20/., and Mr. Paterson the banker
has remitted 15/., coliected on his schedule in Dalkeith.
Upwards of 2,000/. have been contributed by the public
since the meeting, three months ago, at the Music Hall ;
the deficit, therefore, does not now amount to 1,000/.,
and as subscription lists still lie at the banks, club-houses,
and at the Royal Institution, the admirers of the genius
of our illustrious countryman, now in Edinburgh, who
have nut yet contributed, have still an opportunity af-
forded them of assisting in completing this national
monument to his memory.—Scotsman.
In one of the accounts of the late Leipsic fair it is
said :—" Never was the catalogue of books and other
publications greater than at this fair. It extended to
2S sheets of letter-press, containing 2,000 new works,
without including music and geographical maps and
charts. The number of the publishers of this vast addi-
tion to literature is 789. The German translations are
very numerous, and yet there are not more than two of
any one, foreign work, except the Mysteres de Paris"
of M. Eugene Sue, of which there are ten versions."
