us. Surely every body is aware of the divine pleasures which attend a winter fireside;-candles at four o'clock, warm hearth-rugs, tea, a fair tea-maker, shutters closed, curtains flowing in ample draperies on the floor, while the wind and rain are raging audibly without, Italian, German, Greek, Hebrew, Sanscrit, and Malayan tongues. These, however, I reserve for a future oppertunity, and am, with great respect, your obedient servant, PERTINAX PRIMROSE. DIORAMA OF THE CITY OF ROUEN. We had a private view of this new Diorama on Thursday, which is at once very beautiful, and entirely differ ent from those which have preceded it. It is the fourth that has been exhibited in Edinburgh,-Chartres Cathe "And at the doors and windows seem to call, As heaven and earth they would together mell; Yet the least entrance find they none at all, Whence sweeter grows our rest, secure in massy hall." All these are items in the description of a winter evening which must surely be familiar to every one born in a high latitude. And it is evident that most of these deli-dral, the Valley of Sarnem, and the Chapel of Holyrood, cacies, like ice cream, require a very low temperature of the atmosphere to produce them; they are fruits which cannot be ripened without weather stormy and inclement. I am not "particular," as people say, whether it be snow or black frost, or wind so strong that you may lean your back against it like a post. I can put up even with rain, provided it rains cats and dogs, but something of the sort I must have, and if I have it not, I think myself in a manner ill used; for why am I called on to pay so heavily for winter in coals and candles, and various privations that will occur even to gentlemen, if I am not to have the article good of its kind? No-a Canadian winter for my money, or a Russian one, where every man is but a co-proprietor with the north wind in the fee-simple of his own ears. Indeed, so great an epicure am I in this matter, that I cannot relish a winter night fully, if it be much past St Thomas's Day, and have degenerated into disgusting tendencies to vernal appearances. Let it be divided by a thick wall of dark nights from all return of light and sunshine. From the latter weeks of October to Christmas Eve, therefore, is the period during which happiness is in season, which, in my judgment, enters the room with the tea-tray; for tea, though ridiculed by those who are naturally of coarse nerves, or are become so from wine-drinking, and are not susceptible of influence from so refined a stimulant, will always be the favourite beverage of the intellectual; and, for my part, I would have joined Dr Johnson in a bellum internecinum against Jonas Hanway, or any other impious person who should presume to disparage it.-Confessions of an English Opium Eater. LASSITUDE.—There are heavy hours when the mind of a man of letters is unhinged; when the intellectual faculties lose all their elasticity, and nothing but the simplest actions are adapted to their enfeebled state. At such hours, it is recorded of the great Mendelsohn, that he would stand at the window and count the tiles of his neighbour's house.-Israeli. EXPERIENCE. No man ever obtains more from his most zealous endeavours, than a painful conviction of his own defects.-Johnson. WISE WISHES.-Qui peut tout ce qu'il veut, Veut plus ce qu'il doit.-Corneille. AN EGYPTIAN CUSTOM.-The Egyptians had a custome not unmete to bee used at the carowsing banquets; their manner was, in the midst of their feasts, to have brought before them an anatomie of a dead body, dried, that the sight and horror thereof, putting them in minde to what passe themselves should one day come, might containe them in modestie. But, peradventure, things are fallen so far from their right course, that that device will not so well serve their turn, as if the carowsers of these later dayes were perswaded, as Mahomet perswaded his followers, when he forbad them the drinking of wine, that in every grape there dwelt a divell. But when they have taken their cups, it seameth that many of them doe fear neither the divell nor any thing else.-Barclay's Felicitie of Man. I must now conclude, Mr Editor, although, to prove my learning, I might have given you quotations in the having successively attracted that attention to which, as ORIGINAL POETRY. A LOVE SONG. By the late James Hislop. [In Mr M'Diarmid's "Sketches from Nature" there is an interest. ing Memoir of the late James Hislop. Many of our readers will be glad to see one of his unpublished Poems in the Literary Journal. We shall probably present them, ere long, with a short biographical notice of the Author, with some more of his relics.] How sweet the dewy bell is spread, Where Spango's mossy streams are lavin', Around the mountain brow aye wavin'! Dear lassie, we'll lie down thegither, Lang hae I wish'd, my lovely maid, Amang thae fragrant wilds to lead ye; How blest I lie wi' you aside me! The saftness o' the gentle dove, Its eyes in dying sweetness closin', Is like thae languid eyes o' love, Sae fondly on my heart reposin'. When simmer suns the flowers expand, In a' their silken beauties shinin', They're no sae saft as thy white hand, Upon my love-warm cheek reclinin'. While thus aneath my tartan plaid] Sae warmly to my lips I press ye, That hinnied bloom o' dewy red Is nocht like thy sweet lips, dear lassie! Reclined on love's soft crimson bed, Our hearts sae fondly lock'd thegither, Thus o'er my cheek thy ringlets spread, How happy, happy 'mang the heather! THE FAITHLESS. By William Wilson.* WE part, yet wherefore should I weep From faithless thing like thee to sever? Or let one tear mine eyelids steep, While thus I cast thee off for ever! I loved thee,-need I say how well? Few, few have ever loved so dearly, As many a sleepless hour can tell, And many a vow breathed too sincerely. But late beneath its jetty lash I loved to mark thy blue eye's splendour, Which wont, all witchingly, to flash On me its light so soft and tender ;Now, from that glance I turn away, As if its thrilling gaze could wound me, The dimpling smile with sweetness fraught, Farewell! I'd rather launch my bark Than make thy faithless breast my pillow; Thy broken vow now cannot bind, Thy streaming tears no more can move me, And thus I turn from thee to find A heart that may more truly love me. CHARLES LAMB, the author of Essays by Elia, is preparing for publication a volume of poems, under the title of Album Versesabout as bad a title as we can well conceive. A new work on the noble science of eating and drinking, to be entitled the Cook's Dictionary, and Housekeeper's Directory, by Richard Dolby, of the Thatched House Tavern, is announced. Six Lectures on Painting, delivered at the Royal Academy by the late Henry Fuseli, and now first published from the original MSS., are in the press. A new novel is announced, under the title of Foreign Exclusives in London. A new edition of Godwin's Caleb Williams is about to appear, the last impression having been long since exhausted. The author of Richelieu is at present employed with another work, which will appear speedily, under the name of De L'Orme. Maxwell, a Tale of the Middie Ranks, by the author of Sayings and Doings, is nearly ready. Mr Edmund Reade, author of Cain the Wanderer, announces the Revolt of the Angels, a dramatic poem. The Hon. Mrs Norton, authoress of The Sorrows of Rosalie, has just ready for publication her poem called The Undying One. The story, we understand, resembles in some respects the legend of the Wandering Jew; but though the scene is in the present day, the narrative is said to relate to events and mysteries which have happened in many ages and countries. ILLUSTRATIONS OF THE WAVERLEY NOVELS.-We are happy to observe a visible amendment in the ornamental department of the interesting edition of these works now in the course of publication. The arrangement in the frontispiece to the last volume (representing Lady Ashton cutting the ribbon at which hung the piece of gold broken between Lucy and Ravenswood when they plighted their troth) is fine, and it is particularly well engraved. In the forthco ming Number, there is an engraving of Leslie's picture (of which we gave a description some time back), representing the Master of Ravenswood saving Sir William Ashton and his daughter from the wild bull. The engraver has done full justice to the artist. The accompanying vignette-Ravenswood and the Grave-digger, from a painting by Duncan-is spirited; but the character of the old man's face, which is most admirably expressed in the original, has been in some measure lost under the hands of the engraver. A scene from the Legend of Montrose, by Lauder-Annot Lyle playing the Clairshach to Sir Duncan Campbell-of which we know Sir Walter has expressed himself in terms of the highest admiration, is in the hands of Rolls, and nearly ready. We have also seen an etching from Newton's painting of Abbot Boniface. The London prints speak in high terms of the picture; and, to judge by the outline, it is steeped in monkish indolence and luxuriousness. A vignette, after a drawing by Landseer, representing the Lady of Avenel's dog Wolf rescuing the boy Roland Græme from drowning, is likewise good. The animal, as was to be expected, is masterly; and there is much delicate beauty in the distant landscape. Catherine Seyton stooping to pick up the scroll which had been wrapt round Roland's sword, is, as far as we can judge from the outline, a fine composition. There is much that is good in the vignette after Fraser, representing Halbert Glendinning and the Packman sitting at their meal. Lauder has finished a painting of Quentin Durward finding the young Countess of Croye prostrate before the altar-a magnificent piece of colouring-which is likewise to be engraved for this series. It may also be interesting to learn, that the same artist is now engaged in painting the scene where Ravenswood bursts into the hall, just as Lucy has affixed her name to the marriage contract. Only four of the figures are yet brought out. Lady Ashton and Lucy-two beautiful females, but of the most opposite character-the former, a sparkling impersonation of indignant pride and anger, flashes defiance against the intruder,while her gentle daughter, pale as monumental marble, yields to her conflicting emotions: life seems almost to have fled. Ravenswood stands like a dark spectre-a column of gloom in the bright noonday. Colonel Ashton-a beautiful and manly figure, with his hand on his sword-seems to echo every feeling of his mother. We know that Sir Walter has declared this to be the best illustration of his works that he has seen; and we may add, that we esteem it the happiest effort of Mr Lauder's genius. Duncan has painted a pretty Lucy Ashton at the Mermaid's Well; and is commencing a picture of Jeanie Deans seized by the robbers. This last exists as yet only in the form of a spirited and promising sketch. Watson Gordon's portrait of Sir Walter is to be engraved for the Novels; and Wilkie's for the collected Poetical Works. Why is William Simpson not engaged to contribute to the illustration of the Novels? Many of them abound with scenes well adapted to his department of the art. The spirited and liberal manner in which the publishers are now going to work, assures us that our hint will not be thrown away. MR ESPINASSE'S FRENCH CLASSES.-A numerous and fashionable audience assembled at Mr Espinasse's rooms in George Street, on Saturday the 5th, and Monday the 7th instant, to witness the examination of his French classes. His senior pupils were examined on Saturday -his junior pupils on Monday:-and on each occasion they acquitted themselves in a style of excellence which bears ample testimony to Mr Espinasse's superior method of teaching. We were much pleased with the accurate pronunciation and knowledge of the language exhibited by many of his very youngest pupils. The correctness of the Parisian accent also, so difficult to acquire in this country; and, above all, the rapidity with which the teacher conveys his instructions, well entitle him to that celebrity and patronage by which he has in this city been deservedly distinguished. CHIT-CHAT FROM LONDON.-The pamphlet, entitled "Robert Montgomery and his Reviewers," is not by the young gentleman himself, but by some anonymous friend, who endeavours to prove, for all that has been said to the contrary, that Master Robert is one of the brightest geniuses of the day.-A curious individual is at present exhibiting in London,-a certain Michael Boai, a Chinese chinchopper, a gentleman who plays or chops several airs, by striking his two forefingers on his chin. Miss Stephens, Sinclair, Sir George Smart, and other musical individuals, have been attending him with much edification. He is likely to make a good harvest, and may say with the barber in the ballad, ber "His crops never fail'd, for they grew on his chin." -Petitions are in the course of signature at Cambridge to relieve the students from signing the thirty-nine articles.-The total numper diem of the daily journals printed in Paris exceeds 60,000. The daily press of London consists of twelve journals, six morning and six evening, which circulate altogether about 25,000. Paris has a population of 700,000; London, of 1,500,000. If the demand for newspapers in the one town were as great as in the other, (and if the tax were a penny instead of a groat, there can be little doubt that it would be greater,) the sale per diem of the London daily journals would not be short of 125,000; to say nothing of the hundreds of daily papers that would start up in every respectable town in England, which at present are compelled to depend for their earliest intelligence on a journal printed at one, two, or three hundred miles* distance. Theatrical Gossip.-Miss Stephens chose "The Merry Wives of Windsor" for her benefit, and Dowton re-appeared as FalstaffWood, the singer, took his benefit at Covent Garden on Monday evening, on which occasion Miss Paton "kindly contributed her va luable assistance." Both parties were received with much applause, for a London audience has strange notions of when and wherefore to manifest approbation.-Madame Vestris must certainly soon leave the stage altogether, for she seems to behave like a mad-woman when she comes upon it. She appeared the other evening at Anderson's benefit-a reconciliation being understood to have taken place between them-but having, in the course of the first act, made it evident to the audience that this reconciliation was of a very superficial nature, she chose, before the commencement of the second act, to be taken suddenly ill, and Messrs Cooper and Wallack came for ward successively to make apologies for her, and to announce that the piece must be changed in consequence-an announcement which was received with laughter, hooting, and ridicule.-The minor theatres have, as usual, celebrated the anniversary of Whitsuntide with new pieces. At the Surrey, a dramatic satire upon the lawyers, called "The Progress of a Lawsuit; or, a Story of Real Life," was produced, and pronounced sufficiently entertaining for temporary purposes. Tottenham Street exhibited a melodrame of some interest, the nature of which may be judged from its title, "The Midnight Murderer;" a burlesque, called "Hokee Pokee," followed, at the close of which the audience very unequivocally ex pressed their hope that it would not be repeated. At Sadler's Well, a full house was tolerably well amused with a drama, written by the author of "Shakspeare's Early Days," entitled, "The Traitor; or, Maurice the Wood-cutter," and a new pantomime.-Madame Malibran, by an indisposition of a few days last week, is said to have lost engagements to the amount of L.300.-Miss Taylor, of the Bath Theatre, has been engaged for three years at Covent-Garden, at a very liberal salary.-Taking the receipts of Drury Lane for the last three years at L.53,000 per annum, (the actual average,) the establishment, conducted on a liberal scale, ought to yield, it is said, L.8000 a-year. The management is not yet settled. Farren is reported to have offered to re-engage, at fifty pounds a-week for himself, provided his brother Percy has the office of manager at fifteen pounds per week; and a third brother, Mr George Farren, is appointed solicitor to the theatre. This appears to be doing the thing too much in a family way.-The Birmingham Theatre, where Mac ready, Vandenhoff, Thorne, and Miss F. H. Kelly, have been performing, closed on Wednesday. The company open in Liverpool on Monday, with Yates and the elephant.-Mr and Mrs Stanley had a crowded benefit here on Monday evening, and Hooper an equally crowded one on Wednesday. The latter gentleman kept his friends together till two A. M., and then sent them home with broad daylight. -Miss Jarman, who performed here on Wednesday evening, and was to have played for three nights more, has unfortunately been prevented, by indisposition, from fulfilling her engagement. It is diffi cult to say when she may again return to us, as we understand the present lessee of Drury Lane is anxious to avail himself of her services for next winter. If we are to lose her, we do not know how Mr Murray is to supply her place.-Fanny Kemble appears here on Monday in the part of Juliet, and her father in that of Mercutio. If no national calamity interferes, the houses will be tremendous, but OLD CERBERUS will no doubt find a good place for himself, and tell us what he thinks next Saturday. Mrs Henry Siddons will not, we believe, again appear on the stage. She acted from a good motive in returning to it for a few nights, but the judiciousness of the step was very questionable. We regret to be assured that Mr Murray is considered really and seriously ill. He has gone to the country in the hopes of more speedily recruiting his health. TO OUR CORRESPONDENTS. "A NIGHT on Benlomond" is under consideration.-The two short notices by "Proteus" will not suit us.-The poem, entitled "The Queen of Night," indicates considerable poetical genius.— "The Power of Pleasing the Fair," by "X, Y, Z, a confirmed subscriber," is inadmissible.-It is a disagreeable thing to be obliged to say that we shall not be able to make room for "The Maid that I love."-" The Fause Bryde of Auldylinn" contains some good stanzas, but is unequal.

"In one of the volumes collected from various quarters, which were sent me for this purpose, I observed the name of W. HONE, and notice it, that I may take the opportunity of recommending his EVERY DAY BOOK AND TABLE BOOK to those who are interested in the preservation of our national and local customs. By these very curious publications their compiler has rendered good service in an important department of literature, and he may render yet more, if he obtain the encouragement he well deserves.' "Not only we, and the person mentioned in this paragraph, but all the friends of pure English literature-all the curious in old Eng lish customs-in short, all intelligent men, with the hearts of Englishmen in them, owe Mr Southey their gratitude for his recommendation. It springs from a just taste and right feelings united."

In a note to his excellent History of Italy, Mr Perceval says of Signor Francesco and his lady, "the story of their harassing sufferings and hair-breadth escapes, and of the subsequent adventures of Francesco, is told by a contemporary chronicler of Padua, Andrea Gataro, and may be found in the seventeenth volume of the Scrip. Rer. Ital. The tale is more interesting than any romance, from the simple air of truth which pervades it."-The praise of so judicious a writer as Perceval we are well inclined to second, after a perusal of this beautiful book, which throws more light on the character of the internal wars of Italy than all the pompous writings of a Sismondi and other eloquent generalisers.
