SCIENCE, LITERATURE, AND ART.  The well-known astronomer Carlini has just died at Brescia.  Lady Morgan's Memoirs are in the press, and will be ready for the public in October. Thalberg has been playing at Boulogne, preparatory to his musical tour in England, Ireland, and Scotland. The two new volumes of the "Memoirs of Varuhagen von Ense," the sth and 6th, have just been seized by the police of Berlin. The Monday Review' intended as competitor to the Saturday Review, after a brief, very brief life, has ceased to appear. The coming opera which Signor Pacini is preparing for La Scala, Milan, is to be called " Giovanni di Marrams." "Psyche,' the " tragedy-ballet," by Id alert and Corneille, with music by Lulli, has just been revived at the Theatre Francais with some modifications. It is proposed to decorate St Paul's Cathedral with mosaic pictures. The execution has been entrusted to the Chevalier Sal viati, of Venice. Miss Murray, daughter of the late Mr W. H. Murray of the Edinburgh Theatre-Royal, is giving dramatic readings at Cheltenham with much success. We understand that a contribution .of some seven or eight pictures has been made to the Edinburgh Gallery by the parent Institution, the National Gallery of England. M. Faivre Pisani, one of the officers who accompanied Prince Napoleon in his voyage to America, is bringing out, in the form of letters, the narrative of the adventures of.the Prince.  M. Bocage, the celebrated actor whose career was at its culminating point about 30 years ago, at the time of the great quarrel between the elassiques and romantiques, has just died in Paris, aged 67. M. Richard Wagner, the composer, was recentlybitten by a dog, which took off a part of the thumb of his right hand. Fears were at first entertained that amputation would be necessary, but happily his medical attendant has been able to check the inflammation. A set of duplicate volumes from the Imperial Library of St Petersburg is to be presented to the Warsaw Library. About 17,000 volumes, relating chiefly to theology, linguistics, and natural history, have already arrived at Warsaw. " &MAYS AND Rirvisws."—The Bishop of Salisbury has filed amended articles against the Rev. Rowland Wilson, but no further action will be taken in the case till November, when it will be argued on its merits, and judgment formally pronounced. We hear that Mr Carlyle's "History of Frederick the Great" is in no likelihood of becoming a fragment, such as Macaulay left to us in his far-famed "History of England." The fourth volume is said to be printed off, and the fifth far advanced towards completion by the compositors.  Itis rumoured that Mr Thackeray's new novel will be commenced in the Cornhill Magazine for January neat. We shall not, perhaps, be far wrong in guessing that it will be an historical novel of a more romantic character than Mr Thackeray's recent stories.—Publishere' Circular. It is said that Rossini is busy with a composition which is to reproduce all the hideous noises with which he is plagued by the railway that passes close by his ' villa at Pussy. The roaring, puffing, snorting, whistling, of the engines, the ringing of the bells, the shrieking of the conductors and passengers—in short, the whole of the caorivari of the iron rail is embodied in it, as Paris papers say, with great humour. A handsome votive tablet has been completed by the Carrara Marble Company, of Regent Street, London, in memory of the late Capt. Bmbazon, of the artillery, who perished so miserably two years ago at the hands of the Chinese. It bears the following inscription:—" To the menioryof Captain Luke Brabazon Brazon, Royal Artillety, biatihooft' murdered under a Hag of truce by the Oldness. neer Peteheli, on or about the 21st of ter elitasstakleinlwinford ant the course toafblaeftewill  Fechter
