VALERIUS.

We do not often look into Novels, but the antiquity of the
name of this one, and the motto, induced us to dip Into its pages,
and to forego, for a time, our wonted philosophical studies. The
classical reader will, in fact, find in Valerius a very lively descripe
don of the state of Rome, when the Monarchy was in its glory,
and an interesting account of the domestic manners of the Roman
citizens. The arrival of Valerius in the capital of the world, is
picturesque and impressive; but it is impossible to particularise
the parts of a work which lays equal claims to erudition and ori-
ginal fancy. The following extract contains a spirited descrip-
tion of Gladiators at the Flavian Amphitheatre :
" Their masters paired them shortly, and in succession they
began to make proof of their fatal skill. At first, Scythian was
matched against Scythian.--Greek against Greek—Ethiopian
against Ethiopian—Spaniard against Spaniard; and I saw the
sand dyed beneath their feet with blood streaming from the
wounds of kindred hands. But these combats, although abun-
dantly bloody and terrible, were regarded only as preludes to the
serious business of the day, which consisted of duels between
Europeans on the one side, and Africans on the other; wherein it
was the well-nigh intransgressible law of the Amphitheatre, that
at least one out of every pair of combatants should die in the
arena before the eyes of the multitude. Instead of shrinking front
the more desperate brutalities of these latter conflicts, the almost '-
certainty of their fatal termination seemed only to make the as-
sembly gaze upon them with more intense curiosity, and a more
inhuman measure of delight. Methinks I feel as if it were but of
yesterday, when--sickened with the protracted terrors of a con-
flict, that seemed as if it were never to have an end, although
both the combatants were already covered all over with hideous
gashes—l at last bowed down my head, and clasped my hands
upon my eyes,to save them from the torture of gazing thereon fur-
ther : and I had scarcely done somben Rubellia laid her band upon
my elbow, whispering,' Look, look, now look,' in a voice of low
steady impatience. I did look, but not to the arena: No; it was
upon the beautiful features of that woman's face that I looked",
and truly It seemed to me as if they presented a spectacle almost
as fearful as that from which I had just averted mine eyes. I
saw those rich lips parted asunder, and those dark eyes extended
in their sockets, and those smooth cheeks suffused with a steadfast
blush, and that lovely bosom swelled and glowing ; and I hated
Rubellia as I gazed, for I knew not before how utterly beauty
can be brutalised by the throbbing. of a cruel heart. But I looked
round to escape from the sight of her—and then the hundreds of
females that I saw with their eyes fixed, with equal earnestness,
on the same spot of horrors, taught me, even at the moment,
to think with more charity of that pitiless gaze of one.
" At that instant all were silent, in the contemplation of the
breathless strife ; insomuch, that a groan, the hrst that had
escaped from either of the combatants, although low and re-
luctant, and half suppressed, sounded quite distinctly amidst
the deep hush of the assembly, and being constrained thereby
to turn mine eyes once more downwards, I beheld that, at
length, one of the two had received the sword of his adver-
sary quite through his body, and had sunk before him upon
the sand. A beautiful young man was he that had received
this harm, with fair hair, clustered in glossy ringlets upon his
neck and brows ; but the sickness of his wound was already vi-
sible in his drooping eye-lids, and his lips were pale, as it the ,
blood had rushed from them to the untimely outlet. Neverthe-
less, the Moorish gladiator who had fought with him, had drawn
forth again his weapon, and stood there awaiting in silence the
decision of the multitude, whether at once to slay the defence..
less youth, or to assist in removing him from the arena, if per-
chance the blood might be stopped from flowing, and some hope
of recovery even yet extended to him. Hereupon there arose,
on the instant, a loud voice of contention; and it seemed to me
as if the wounded man regarded the multitude with a proud, and
withal contemptuous glance, being aware, without question, that
he had executed all things so as to deserve their compassion, but
aware, moreover, that even bad that been freely vouchsafed to
him, it was too late for any hope of safety. Bat the cruelty of
their faces, it may be, and the loudness of ;he'r cries, were a sot.
row to him, and filled his dying breast with loathing. Whether or
not the haughtiness of his countenance had been observed by
them with displeasure, I cannot say ; but so it was, That those
who had cried out to give him a chance of recovery were speedily
silent, and the Emperor looking round, and seeing all the thumb.
turned downwards (for that is, you know, the signal of death),
was constrained to give the sign, and forthwith the young man
receiving again without a struggle the sword of the Moor into
his gashed bosom, breathed forth his life, and lay stretched out
in his blood upon the place of guilt. With that a joyous clamour
was ui I.ftel by many of those that looked upon it, and the victo-
rious Moor being crowned with an ivy garland, was carried in
procession around the arena by certain young men, who leaped
down for that purpose from the midst of the assembly. In the
meantime, those who had the care of such things dragged away
with a lly hook the corpse of hint that had been slain and
then, raking up the sand over the blood that had fallen front
him, prepared the place, with indifferent countenances, for some
other cruel tragedy of the same kind—while all around me, the
spectators were seen rising from their places and saluting each
other; and there was a buz of talking :a universal as the silence
had been during the combat; same speaking of it, and paying
and receiving money lost and won upon its issue; some already
laughing merrily, and discoursing on other matters, even as if
nothing uncommon had been witnessed; while others again ap-
peared to be entirely occupied with the martial mnsii which ever
struck up majestically at such pauses in the course of the cruel
exhibition; some beating time upon the benches before them,
others lightly Joining their voices in unison with the proud notes
of the trumpets and clarions."

As Biography is the most pleasing and instructive
branch of Literature, a more important and ustful
volume, for the use of the rising generation, never
issued-from the Press than Goldsmith's Biome
phical Class-Book; consisting of 100 Lives of the
most eminent persons of all Ages and Countries,
from Homer to the most illustrious characters of our
own age. The valuable plan of such a work requires
no eulogium ; but it may be proper to state .that its
execution has-been most careful, and that its interest
has been mach increased by the introduction of 450
PortnCti.

THE EVENIN(t STAR.

CELEBRATION V Me KING'S BIRTH-DAY.

In consequence of St. George's Day falling on
Easter Monday, the:Courtly Celebration of his MA.
JESTY'S Birth-Day was postponed till yesterday, v hot
the most splendid Drawing-Room ever witnessed
was held at Buckingham Palace, and in the evening
a no less brilliant Ball, with a most sumptuous Sup-
per, were given at Carlton House. At an early hour
in the morning St. James's Park was crowded with
genteelly dressed persons of both sexes ; and before
one o'clock the Horse and Foot Guards, with their
respective bands in full dress, took their stations
along the Drives in the Park and in front of the
Palace. The Grenadier Guards displayed fine new
caps, much larger than the old ones, on the occasion.
The Drawing-Room was attended by upwards of
2000 persons of the first rank and fashion, and never
was higher gratification experienced than by the
immense multitude assembled to witness the bril-
liant scene.

The KING arrive) at Buckingham Palace in his
private carriage at•half--past twelve, and although the
carriage was quite plain, his MAJESTY was recog-
nized by the crowds of respectable persons who lined
the Mall, through which he passed. The Gentlemen
took off their hats, and the Ladies curtsied as he
passed.
_

The greatest order and regularity were preserved
both in setting down and taking up, although the
line of carriages reached to a distance of at least a
mile and a half in the same direction; between two
and three o'clock they extended to the top of Bond-
street. The company began to arrive at the Palace
at the early hour of twelve o'clock, and continued to
set down till nearly five; some were kept in the line
of carriages between two and three hours. The whole
of the company had not got to the Palace till half
past six o'clock.

The Grand Hall was lined with a numerous as-
semblage of Yeomen Guard, who, with others, were
stationed on both sides of the wide and splendid
staircase, which gave it an unconuuon appearanceof
majestic grandeur.
The KING having dressed for the Court, his MA•
JESTY proceeded to his Closet soon after half-past
one o'clock, where the Archbiglop of CANyisksuaY,
the Archbishop of YORK, the Bishops of LoNnott,
LLANDAVF, C/lESTER, EXETER, BRISTOL, GLOUCES-
ER, WORCESTER, and other Dignitaries of the Church,
were admitted into the presence of his MAJESTY, when
the Archbishop of CANTERBURY delivered an oration
of congratulation on the happy return of the day.
The KING soon after proceeded towards his State
apartments, attended by his Great Officers of State;
Lord AMHERST as Lord in Waiting, -General FINCH
as Groom in Waiting, Sir ROBERT BouroN as Equerry
in Waiting, the Page of Honour, &c. His MAJESTY
proceeded-to the Japan Room, which is appropriated
to those who have the honour and privilege of the
entree. The Prince RATAFE, attended by his Secre-
tary, having been conducted to the Palace, by Mr.
WILLIAMS, the King's Messenger, was introduced to
his MAJESTY by Earl BATHURST, as Secretary of
State for the Colonial Department. The Prince and
his Secretary were dressed in the complete costume
of their country, wearing mantles, with their legs and
feet bare, excepting the sandals which they walked in.
Their Royal Highnesses the Duke of YORK, Prince
LEOPOLD, the Duchess Of KENT, and Princess SOPHIA
MATILDA, went in State, with their Attendants, in
two carriages, with an escort of the Life Guards;—
their Royal Highnesses were received with military
honours by the Guard of Honour, and the Band
played God save the King. The Duke and Duchess
of CLARENCE went to the Palace privately.
The Archbishop of CANTERBURY went in State,
with his Attendants, in two carriages; the SPEAKER
of the HOUSE of COMMONS went in similar State.

his 31AJEstir having taken his station in front of
the splendid Throne, proceeded to receive the congra-
tulations of the immense assemblage, consisting of

The whole of the Foreign Ambassadors, the Cabinet Ministers I
and °facers of State, the Lord Chancellor, the Chief Justices of'
the Courts of King's Bench and Common Pleas, the Vice Chan-
calor, and all the other Judges ; the Attorney and Solicitor-
General, the King's Advocate, the Lord Mayor, Recorder, and
