      This is the earliest information which the critic gives us concerning the family of the proprietress of the Diorama of Hindostan , who is , besides , author of a book which , * ' with the diffidence and modesty of true genius , " she designates Wanderings of a Pilgrim in search of the Picturesque . This book seems to have been rather more successful in its day than Uncle Tom ' s Cabin . " Its circulation lias been almost ubiquitous . It lies on our Queen ' s drawing-room table at Windsor Castle ; it is an- ornament in the library of the Czar at Petersburcrb . It is read in the Hills at Simla and Landour , at the foot of the glorious Himalaya ; it is treasured by her Highness the ex-Queen of Gwalior , and it adorns the court of Nepaul . In North America , at the court of the Brazils , it is in high repute . Our ambassadors read it in Madrid and in Stockholm ; our military book clubs have long since ordered it at the Cape , in New Zealand ( our antipodes ) , and

      at Hobart Town ; and the 1002 imperial octavo pages , with their 50 beautiful illustrations sketched on the spot , and several of them lithographed by herself , constitute at this moment the most perfect delineation of East Indian life , British and native , with which the literature of Europe has yet been enriched . " From the majestic Fulbertus " our heroine ' s unbroken lineage" is made out somehow , and we are quite satisfied that it is all correct , though we confess to having taken a good deal hereabout on trust . We get a hasty glimpse of her childhood " ' on the borders of the forest , the beautiful forest' ( as she terms it ) " in Hampshire . She marries , goes with her husband on the continent , and afterwards to India . Then begins the pursuit of the Picturesque , under the complicated difficulty of " climate , fatigue , and expense . The thousand and two imperial octavo pages , with their fifty beautiful illustrations , are finished , and " the triumph of genius is complete . " So she quits India , and returns to her native land .

      " Yet even here , with all that should accompany her dignified retirement and her husband ' s home—as honour , love , affection , troops of friends ( where have we heard something like this in connexion with a dignified retirement ?) she has , with a spirit of enterprise almost incredible—with an exercise of talent , ingenuit y ^ and patience hardly paralleled—brought before the eye of London , as by the waving of a necromancer ' s wand , the most enchantingly beautiful visions of Indian life and Indian scenery that artistic skill of the highest order of excellence , and the most costly elaboration of mechanical arts and contrivances , have ever exhibited to this or any other nation . "

      That is , she has opened a very well painted and exceedingly interesting diorama , next door to Madame Tnssaud ' s , in Baker-street , and we recommend everybody to go and see it—in spite of the Morning Herald !

      WOODIN'S CARPET-BAG AND SKETCH-BOOK . There certainly is a power which our actors generally have not , and which yet seems to be the special power requisite to form an actor . It is that mimetic faculty which forms the stock in trade of such exhibitors aa Mr . W . C . Woodin—disciples of Mathews the elder—but which is possessed by only a very few artists of the regular stage , such as Charles Mathews , Wigan , and , we may add , Jane Woolgar . It will be said that mimics are not actors , —that is , that people who would deceive you about their identity twenty times in an hour , are very often quite incapable of grasping an author ' s intention , and that a man able to imitate Maeready to perfection in a speech from Othello is likely to be the very last whom you would suspect of possessing real dramatic capability . Grant all this , and what does it amount to ? That something more than a power of personation is wanted by those who have to express the ideas of othersthat an intelligent representation of a character is even better than a ' personation , consisting only of make-up , grimace , and falsetto . But are not Mathews and Wigan the better actors for being also mimics ? Indeed , is not mimicry the foundation of their success ? The hero of the Carpet-bag and Sketch-book is a very young-looking gentleman , with the power we have been speaking of in great natural abundance . We doubt if he would make an actor , in the full sense of the word , but as we are not aware that he intends becoming one , the expression of that doubt is perhaps irrelevant . Nor has he all the finish to be looked for in his peculiar style of entertainment . His disguises , certainly , are for the most part , complete transformations . The Oldest Inhabitant , and the little old woman , are his two best characters , though his first presentation , a servant-girl out of place , and very full of her ex p eriences , gave great promise , which was , on the whole , fulfilled . Mr . Woodin's face is exceedingly plastic , and , in its balance , ( which you rarely get , by-the-bye , ) it rather resembles John Parry ' s . In the article , voice , he is not so fortunate , not being able to sing bass music ; but he relieved this deficiency with much skill in his imitations of Lablache , Henry Russell , &c . His other imitations , principally of London actors , are many degrees below the average of that sort of display ; we should except his mimicry of Wright , perhaps , and also of Charles Eean ' s gesture ( his voice was not attempted ); but this was little to accomplish . Albert Smith was recognisable principally on account of a scene borrowed from his Mont Blanc . The Sketch-booh , by-the-bye , is a rather poor affair ; the reason for giving views only of well-known places in and near London was not made clearly intelligible . Z .
