      Ho Home . Edited hy Eichabd Oastier . onaVradori : 2 , York-street , Catherine-street , trabtrand . s tie name of Richard Oastier needs no passt to't to the warmest affections of the working ssessses of England , and the title of his new sWjekly periodical aptl y expresses in one clear 1 wd well-known , word the object of his laboriant and well-spent life . To give to all , and eciaeciall y to the sons and daughters of toil , jpyppy homes , has ever been the aim of * 'the kit king ; " and whatever differences of opin nm may have arisen between Mm and others

      to 1 to the efficacy of the particular measures he lonwunmended , there can be none either as to i pie purity of his motives , or the disinterested d ad self-sacrificing spirit io which he has detedted himself to the service of his fellow men . i -lx The Rome we find reproduced all the prin-[ ileples for which Mr . Oastier has ever consisntlntly contended , as indispensable to the secuty ty and the happiness of all classes . ** The hrduone , the Altar , and the Cottage" symbo-• e , se , to his mind three great , indestructible , id ad beneficent elements of society , which toutoald blend with and support , not trench

      oyoa , or injure each other . Every man has i is ideal of society . Some look hack to the batriarchal for the Golden Age—others look : vsrvrard to a mUlenninm through the instrumentality of Socialism , and a new , scientific construction of the primary elements of all unman society . Mr . Oastier imagines , no iloubt , that he is neither so antiquarian as the ene , nor so impracticably theoretical and Una-^ native as the other . He prefers to take society as it appears to him it did exist before the rerpent of Free Trade entered our Eden . The throne , as the representative of an ancient and

      Kindl y aristocracy ; the Altar , as the symbol > f a national religion ; and the Cottage , as the secure and happy dwelling of a protected , iionest , and industrious people , bound to the upper classes both by affection and interest : such is Mr . Oastler ' s "England as it ought to be "—such the England he has laboured to Make it . "We will not call it a dream , bat we ee Utile hope of its realisation . If it ever aristed—which is very doubtful , indeed—it has long since passed away . New agencies and powers have been , and are at work in the bosom > f society altering , modifying , and impelling

      ( forward in other directions . Whatever there lis true in the old , cannot he inconsistent with vhat is true in the new . Tbe business of the practical reformer is to harmonize both , to go forward ever , and endeavour at all times to adopt his measures to the changes inevitably produced by the lapse of time . Protection and Free Trade both contain within them a sound p rinci p le—an imperishable social troth . B y turning the principle in both to the exclusive benefit of a territorial aristocracy , or a manufacturing and newly created dominant class , they have been made productive of

      mischief to the community at large . It is a mistake , to suppose that a return to old fashioned Protection would relieve us from the misery generated hy a selfish and unprincipled System of reckless trading . To show that one thing is wrong does not necessaril y prove that another is . ight ; and thus while we sympathise most heartily with Mr . Oastler ' s graphic and eloquent expositions of the effects of the free booting system , we are hy no means converted to his opinions as to the best " constitution in church and state . " Apart from these differences of opinion—which we know

      no one will he more pleased io see candidl y and frankly stated than "the old king" himself , there can be but one feeling' with respect to the appearance of a periodical conducted by oue who has proved himself so earnest , and so powerful an advocate of humanity . His style has still the peculiar charm which it ever had for ns—reminding as of the graphic force and Saxon eloquence of Cobbett , mingled wth the quaintness and tenderness of some of tor elder poetsj and The Home has the sterling stamp of a true heart and a good man , impressed on every page . Need we add how warml y we wish it success ?

      Tie Gome of Life . By Leuch Ritchie . Gowrie ; or tlie King ' s Plot . By G . P . B . James . Vols . LVIII . and LIX . of " The Parlour Library . " Simms and Mc Intyre . TwExir years have passed since " The Game of Life" was first published . ' It professed then to be a reminiscence of scenes and characters encountered while the author himself * as a struggling aspirant for literary fame , undergoing the hard drudgery , and living the precarious harassing life , of a probationer of literature , and dependent on such scanty and tttermHtent sources of support , as offer themselves to the nameless and unfriended

      candidate who seeks to elbow his way into the Kterary world . The tale throws a strong % ht upon the sufferings and the temptations of a peculiar class , who , with less than the mere money wages of mechanics , and * far less ttgularly paid , are conventionally " gentlemen , " and most , to succeed at all , have not taly a good education , hut some natural ^ leat Since the time the hook was written , kshions and manners have changed ; and , Perhaps , it would he impossible , in London , *»» to find a parallel for Wigwam , the -tamy-a-liner , hut it is to he feared that the

      ^ ships , the alternations , and the tempta-«»» to dissipation resulting from such a position , and acting upon persons £ 0 constitated , yet produce , in too many instances , ^ Sffltially the same effect . The anthor sets ™* story in motion hy introducing into the Metropolis ayoung man of education , talent , aha energy , for whom there is no situation in "ashless cut out , and groups round him a ** fi gures drawn from the class we have ^ "ded to . A love story and mystery of **» there is , as there must be in every r ^ J ; and a benevolent old man , with plenty money , acts , as the Deux et madtma , and *« ps in at the rftrht time to unravel the tangled

      j * od , and set everything ri ght at the happy ° se of the story , which carries the reader I'easantl y along . Here is a specimen of Mr . JJtchie ' s anatomy of London life . The hero j ? the storv has just arrived in London , light pocket andfrdlof hope :-L jfe determined , as the hour was yet early , to r ^ u lge m a stroll al ong those st ree ts which had wstred so delightful , when viewed from the &* L anii - fy *» y of Wending the utile with the m' , f t 0 fiud out at tDe 83 n , B time » if P ° ' lWe » an Ron ! i antry a ^ » hitance , who , he had some hopes , L "; 5 > him in the way of obtaining lodgings the fir 1 day , and rnmrntmr-ina the ficnnomv of hlS

      Tie Gome Of Life. By Leuch Ritchie. Gowr...

      at his father s death , he had repaired to the metropolis to try his fortune , where it was understood he had married . He was attached to some department of the law , but in what capacity or with what success , was not known . > - It so happened that the quarter indicated by Burnet ' s -mMi & ss , was in the immediate neighbourhood of the inn ; aud William had scarcely time to accustom his eyes to the glare and glitter of the shops , and his ears to tho thousand incongrous noises of evening , when on locking up accidentia . at his father ' s death , ho hod van »;» aj «« . u , * , Mt . n .

      he read the name of tbe street on the coiner , The houses looked respectable and spacious , although in reality they boasted no more than . two apartments on the floor , and he felt an . unselfish gladness iu thinking that his friend must hare done well in the world . On arriving at the proper number , he knocked , and the door was opened by a respectable looking female , with one child at her breast , and two or three at her heels . His information was correct ; Mr . Burnet did live there . " Is he at home ? " inquired William .

      "Higher up , " replied the woman , retreating into the parlour , and leaving the stranger in darkness . Surprised aud indignant at the rudeness , he groped his way to the staircase , aud succeeded in reaching the first floor . While searching for tho handle ol the door , the noise he made attracted the attention of the inmates , and a young lady came oat to inquire bis pleasure . - Through the half-open door he could perceive that the room , was well sized , and handsomely furnished , and tho . lady herself evidently belonged to the genteeler classes of society . "Mr . Burnet ? " she repeated , thoughtfully ; " Mama , do yon know anything of a Mr . Burnet ?" ** So , my dear . " "Do you , papa ?" " No / no—nonsense . —Stay ; higher up , I believe : yes , higher up . " The young lady shut the door . William , left again iu darkness , climbed another flight , and knocked .

      "Come in , " cried a voice . He entered , and ! found in a decent , respectable-looking apartment , two men in the garb of quskers , with their broadbrimmed hats on , reading newspapers by the fireside , with a large pewter flaggon on the table beside them . One of them , after finishing deliberately the sentence he had been perusing , turned round his head , and William repeated the question . « I know not , friend , " was the reply ; "higher up , perhaps higher up ; " and the quaker resumed his reading . The other did not so much as raise his eyes from the paper ; and William , therefore , withdrew , signifying-bis-disapprobation of their

      inhospitably by shutting the door after him with less gentleness than usual . Higher up , however , our adventurer groped , and on arriving at the third floor , was hippy to find it the last . Being invited , as before , to open the door for himself , and walk in , he did bo , and found the apartment meagerly supplied with mean furniture , among which was a tent bed ; a young man sat by a table , on which some books and papers were scattered ; a few anatomical preparations lay about the room , and a coffee-pot beside the fire proclaimed the suitable sobriety of tbe student ' s habits .

      " Mr . Burnet ? " said he . "J don't know , indeed ; you had better inquire Anther . " " TJpon my soul , I am much obliged to you 2 " replied Williaui hastily , who was now out of all patience ; " but I would rather be excused , just now , from scrambling upon the slates , unless you , in the first place , will show me the way . " The student smiled . " There is no need , ' ' said he ; " there is a family next door , I believe ; and if * one Burnet' does not hang out there , why I would recommend you just to descend quietly by the stairs as you came ; " and , so saying , the young man resumed his studies . William accordingly tried the next door , and , at length , found his friend . He had some difficulty , at first , in recognising the features so familiar in his earlier youth ; but

      the instant be became convinced that Burnet stood really before him in life and limb , he ran up to him with all the kindly enthusiasm of a young man unhackneyed in tbe ways of tbe world , and shook him vehemently by the hand . His old companion neither shrank from the gripe , nor returned it ; he replied in the usnal manner to the usual questions , bat asked none ia return ; and when the first brief salutations were over , stood silent for a moment , as if expecting either that William would withdraw , or mention tbe purport of his visit . At length , appearing to reeoUeet himself , he selected one o f a , few broken chairs with which the room was garnished , and , with a forced heartiness of manner , invited him to sit down .

      William hesitated at first , hat the scene around seemed to explain the apparent coldness of Burnet . A floor without a carpet , a bed without curtains , and a grate almost destitute of fire—although a cooking utensil disputed with the family the little heat it afforded—appeared to indicate the very extreme of poverty . Three children were at supper , and it seemed scarcely possible that the young creature vrbo ministered to their wants , could be the mother of such a family . She appeared to be quite a girl ,- and even tbe haggard and care-worn expression of her features eould not conceal that

      they had been , very lately , both , handsome and agreeable . Her dress , however , was neglected , and even dirty ; and her sickly bosom , where an infant lay , was exposed with an unconscious impropriety , which awakened at once pity and disgust . Occupied incessantly with her domestic cares , she hardly looked at the stranger ; her curiosity received no excitement from matters that were out of her department ; and the only tokens she exhibited of being even aware of his presence were a slap and a "hush ! " to such of her little charges as merited the reproof , by allowing any other sound to escape the lips than that required in the process of

      mastication , r A discipline unusual , and , therefore , apparently unreasonable , produced the effect that might have been anticipated . The children , silent at first in surprise , were loud at length in remonstrance , and a sound arose from amongst them , in which the shrill scream , the sturdy roar , and the plaintive whine , were blended together like voices in some musical composition : certainly not a glee . Poor Burnet sat like the image either of patience or despair . He raised his voice , for some time , so as to he heard above the din ; but wearied at last with the hopeless struggle , held his tongue . In a momentary pause he sighed ; but while he did so , no deeper depression than usual appeared in his manner , and no bitterer reflections on his fate seemed to be passing through his mind ; his sigh was without character or expression , and seemed more the effect of habit than a token of sorrow or regret .

      "You have not introduced me to Mrs . Burnet , " said William , at length , so much shocked and embarrassed by the scene before bim , that he hardly knew what to say . " That is my wife , " replied the husband . Mrs . Burnet sighed . "I remember , Clive , " continued Burnetj suddenly , while a kind of smile played on his dejected features , " 1 remember when you and I were younger than we ate now ; when we used to walk out on a still evening , or a moonlight night , along the hawthoon hedges leading to the heights of Llanwellyn—there was a cottage , a little mud-walled , straw-thatched , ruined hovel , near the bottom of the hill . * Poor fellow V said I once , when we were

      s peaking of its new tenant , ' what a comfortless place to live in , what a wretched fireside to go back to from his hard day ' s work J * « Say rather , happy fellow / returned you ; ' he has married the girl of his heart , and he has a whole world to himself in that enchanted cottage . Ton will find what he will make of it ; he will trim the garden and re-thatch tbe roof , and I will help him myself to train honeysuckles round the walls . In another summer or two , when you see a little chubby face looking out of the casement , which by that time will be encircled with leaves , you will own it to be a very paradise of love and content ! ' And so you did help him , and yoa both worked very bard ; but it would not do . Chubby faces came fest enough , but the ei

      cottage grew worse and worse ; ana at last , wu there were more mouths to eat than bread to nil them , the man died , the wife and children went to the workhouse , and the hut fell into rums , on which , I am told , younger boys than you and I were then , throw looks of superstitious dread as ihef circle widely round on their way home from a ramble on the hills . " Burnet was silent for a moment , and then went on . " It is singular enough , " " that I cannot get that cottage out of my head . I , too , married for love— " and he cast an uniropassioned glanceon his young wife , who returned it with one of pity and regret . " I brought my wife home to my London hut , and looked forward , like you , to

      the time when I should be able to trim it a little ; but you see how it is ; things get worse instead of better ; the furniture grows old and scanty , and the family large ; and although I work harder , lam paid less . A fit of illness would wind up the affair m a week ' s time . " " But , good heavens , Burnet ! " exclaimed our adventurer , both surprised and shocked , "is it not irrational—I must say , unmanly , in a young and educated man like you to talk in this manner ? The law is a profession which gives the widest scope for talents and industry of all kinds ; and were it otherwise , there are surely more ways of living than one to be met with in London . "

      « For me , replied Burnet , calmly , " there is only one I was some time the drudge rather than the clerk ofan attorney , and leaving my situation on account of a quarrel with my employer , was unable to find another . I was too poor for a merchant ' s counting-house , where the salary of one so useless and inexperienced would not have sufficed to keen me alive ; I was too proud to stand bohmd fSr ra coach ; and I was too weak in bodynerhaps also in mind--to become a tower d mod S a drawer of water to my fellow men . Of all the uuaUfications requisite for a man who must , lvte by } T ™ te rfbi 9 \ eigbbour * , l possessed on ) yone-I could write . " . , . "Then you do not still belong to the pro fession of the law ? " interrupted William .

      ... ^ . ' I | fc as this pen belongs to the profession of literature . I am one of the humble machines whose tasB it is to copy papers , the production of o ther men's brains ; in short , I am what is technically called a law writer . Thanks to the verbosity of the documents I allude to—the natural characteristic of a state of society in the highest degree renned and artificial—I am still able to supply my family with bread . This , however , beebmes more difficult every day . The sione evil ingenuity which forces the honest , or the suspicious , or the ingenious in their own way , to entrench themselves against all things possible and impossible , behind an infinity of terms and modes of expression , leads them to inven-«« v « m . 5 .. »*_ .. i ..- _ _ . ... - t

      tions which diminish the expense of so cambroas a machinery . The numerous copies for instance of a paper which some time ago would have cost a ; round sum to the litigants , and provided many families , of law writers with a meal , may now be struck off for a triflo by mesas of lithography . Tho progress of tho schoolmaster , too , who flogs so many aspiring youths into an ambition to wear long coats and to be called Mater , raises claims for our morsel of bread which before would hayo been satisfied at the plough-tail ; and in army and navy officers who have' learned to write since tho war ) and even in that fairer portion of the human family , which condescended formerly to no more

      unfeininine employments than brush-making , bootclosing , and mop-spinning , we find a host of dangerous and greedy rivals , I do not COBipliUn , hOW ; ever ; I have no one to find fault with ; all these things are naturally and necessarily born of the time ; and tho witling who sneers at the redundance of our legal language , and the ass who kicks against the advance of knowledge among the ' common people , ' appear to me to be equally ridiculous . " Burnet had talked himself into complacency , if not animation ; and William , inexperienced as he was in the study of character , was not slow in perceiving that the dejection so apparent in his manner at first was the ' effect , not of grief and disappointment , but

      simply of a mechanical and monotonous employment , the returns of which were too small , and the leisure hours too few , to permit the labourer to seek amusement for his naturally restless mind in other pursuits . The sym pathy of tho observer was decreased by this discovery : he had yet to learn that in Burnet the disease exhibited itself in its mildest form , aud he would probably still have joined in the exclamation of many good and sensible people on witnessing some moral fall . Poor creature ! what could have led him to vice ? His employment was so regular , so quiet , so easy , that not even a thought was required in its prosecution . Mr . James ' s Gowrie is a more ambitious

      book , and perhaps one of the best that has issued from his prolific pen . Few points in the history of Scotland ara wrapped in utoreob . scurity than the so-called Gowrie conspiracy . Mr . James has evidently carefully mastered the whole of the evidence on the subject , and has very skilfull y woven a plot , by which the view he takes of that mysterious and melancholy occurrence is worked out . Ih other solution of tho mystery is so probable as that suggested ; and thus , in addition to a novel admirably illustrative of the State of Society in Scotland during the time of James the First , we have , in addition , what may be

      termed a valuable accession to history—for history it is of the best kind—which throws light upon the motives of the actors in public affairs . The Monarch himself was , never painted in more repulsive colours ; and yet the bearing of the evidence actuall y adduced after the murder of Gowrie and his brother , all tends to the conclusion , that instead of the Rathvens having conspired against the King , the King had conspired against them , and accomplished his full purpose by means the most cold blooded and diabolical . It was no wonder that such a man laid the train which

      afterwards brought his own son to the block , and ultimately drove his grandson from the throne for ever . The character of Gowrie is finely conceived and sustained , nor has Mr . James ever contrived to invest with a more powerful attraction any of his heroines than the hapless betrothed of the Earl , These two volumes are excellent additions to the store of cheap and good literature , which the publishers have already placed at the command of those whose means are scanty , and whose appetite for reading is great .

      Rose Douglas J Or /Sketches Of. A Countr...

      Rose Douglas j or / Sketches of . a Country Parish ; being the Autobiography of a Scotch Minister ' s Daughter . By S . B . W . Two vols . Smith and Elder . THE framework of this novel consists of the " autibiography of a Scotch minister ' s daughter , " from earl y youth to the period when she tells her tale in the decline of life . With this personal narrative are mingled sketches of Scottish scenery and manners , such as they existed in a simple and remote parish many years ago . The incidents in either section of the book are not very striking in themselves . Everyday life in the household and among the

      friends of a parish clergyman—his decay , death , and funeral—tbe discomforts of his daughter Hose , in her selfish and somewhat vulgar-minded aunt ' s house at Glasgow , her rescue therefrom through the kindness of a friend who procures her a situation as governess , and her marriage to her father ' s successor—form the outline of the biography : the matter of the sketches consists of a description of the parish and such of its inhabitants as possess the most marked character —a few incidents such as mi ght take place anywhere , together with the manners of the neighbourhood .

      But these are painted with the highest skill , and whether dealing with the scenery or the society amidst which the story is laid , there is a life-like truthfulness rarely met in such works . To those whose memories can carry them , hack to the time of the story—and there must he many such—the incidents of Scottish life will present all the accuracy of the daguerreotype .- Pathos and humour mingle in its pages , and the authoress is equally at home in both styles of composition . We give as an example of the lighter style part of the dinner at Mr . Pardies , where an ill-managed family of young children come in afterwards .

      Johnny took no notice of this question , his attention being wholly engrossed by the contents of the sugar canister which stood near . " Me some sugar , mama , " he asked , or rather demanded . "Repeat the'littlebusy bee' to Mrs . Symington , and you'll get it , " said the proud mother . " Come , Johnny , " said that lady in a coaxing tone . " How doth the little , " began Johnny , but stopping suddenly , he whispered loud enough to bo heard , "Mama , 3 ' ara ' s gettin' sweeties from the gentlemau . " " Whisht—aud ye'll may be get sweeties too , " said Mrs . Purdie .

      "Bat Tarn ' s gettin' them a ' , '' whimpered Johnny , who , with finger in mouth , sat looking discontentedly at his brother ' s luck . " Tarn , " said his mother coaxingly , anxious to phase her favourite , "there ' s a good callant , gie Johnny some o your peppermint draps . " "I ' ve just got twa three , " answered Tam , who was crunching as fast as he was able , " and I hae nane to g ie to Johnny . " " I am very sorry , " said the gentleman , feeling again in his pockets , "but I fear - — . " The search was without effect .

      Here wo were all startled by a howl from Johnny , occa sioned by his disappointment . "Whisht , whisht , laddie , " . said his mother , ashamed of this scene , and trying to quiet him . " Whisht , like a gude bairn , and ye'll get a penny tbe morn to buy peppermint draps . " But Johnny was deaf to her expostulations and promises , ( perhaps he had experienced the deceptive nature of tbelatteri ; the noise of course put a stop to all conversation , and drew every one ' s attention to himself

      . . . " Johnny , Johnny , " said his father , knitting his brows , and looking up the table . " For ony sake , Tam . " said his mother beseechingly , "gie him the sweeties . Ye bad laddie , ate ye no ashamed roaring that way ? What will the company think of ye ? Hold your tongue this minute , or you'll be sent out o' the room . " * All was of uo a . vaU—the disturbance continued . " What ' s this , Johnny ? " at length inquired the Reverend Dr . Dryscreed , who sat at the hostess ' s

      right hand , holding up a halfpenny as he spoke . " What is it ? " asain asked the doctor . " It ' s a bawbee , " murmured Johnny , while smiles returned to his countenance . " And will ye greet ony mair if ye got it ?" Johnny promised ; aad immediately clutched the halfpenny , which he held up in triumph to Tam . " Dr . Dryscreed ' s owre kind to you , " said the pleased mother ; " and you ought to beg the company ' s pardon . " To this Johnny turned a deaf ear while contemplating his treasure , "It ' s a fine thing to greet , " said Tam , spite-

      Robert Owen ' s . Journal . Vol . I . ' London : J . Watson .. . We have , on various occasions , noticed separate parts ^ of this .. valuable publication , and intimated how hi ghly we estimate it , Now that the . first volume has been completed we pee more clearly ; the design of the venerable and plulauthYopic author . During the course of . his long . and active life he has written and published much , but ia such an ephemeral form that a . great deal was likely to be lost ; if not diligentl y sought for and judiciously edited in one collection . To the student of Social

      science , the present publication will he peculiarl y valuable , as it contains the materials for following step by step the career of the founder of the Social System , besides the series of original papers which weekly enrich the columns of the Journal . It is , indeed , curious to see how accurately Mr . Owen foresaw and predicted the consequences which would result from the non-regulation and irrational application of the new powers of production discovered by modern science ; and it is sad to

      think that the comprehensive , peaceful , and conservative plans by which the present generation might have been trained up in the highest degree of . .. physical , ' . mental ,-and moral excellence , were , scouted by all classes ; while we have madly misused the powers at our command , and . produced- 'Social evil upon as a large a scale as we > might have produced the contrary , Matter of grave and permanent importance abounds in this contribution to our literature . •¦ - ¦

      •Haymarket. Mr. Webster Has Given A New ...

      • HAYMARKET . Mr . Webster has given a new colour to the entertainments of the Haymarkefc Theatre , having engaged a musical company , for the performance of opera in conjunction with the farces for which this house has always been famous . He has secured the services of Miss Louisa Pjne as a prima donna , whom he . supports by Mr , Donald . King and . Mr . Weiss , the general aspect of the undertaking being similar to that of tho operatic speculations at the Princess ' s , during the directorate of Mr . Maddox . Tbe first performance , took place on Monday night , when the Crown Diamonds ot Auber was given , tho same version being used as that prepared : for the establishment to , which wo have ] Ust alluded . Beyond recording the fact of theso representations

      little remark is needed , for ifc is obvious that their interest will not be . wholly dependent upon the music , which , remembering the exquisite interpretation which we had last year of Auber ' s opera at St . James ' s Theatre by French singers , must necessarily in some particulars be ill-provided for and incomplete . However , the dramatic excellence of tlie French librettos—that of the Crown Diamonds being one of the most amusing examples of its class—coupled with the graceful and finished vocaiism of Miss Louisa Pyne , will probably make the present undertaking attractive . Miss Pyne . never sang better , and her personation of the heroine of Auber s chef d'osuvre . was no less naive than agreeable . Mr . Weiss was the Rehodillo , and Mr . Donald King the lover ; while the other characters were sustained hy Mr . Corrie and Mrs . H . Cawse , the latter a lady who , some years ago , was ono of the most popular vocalists of her day ,

      QUEEN ' S THEATRE . On Monday evening a powerful drama , byMn Mildehhall , entitled the Eleventh Hour , was performed at this theatre . Manfred , Count Siegendorf ( Mr . Chester ) , several years before the action of the play commences , struck Altorf ( Mr . Shore ) , his superior officer , for which he was obliged to fly to save his life . Manfred ' s father adopted his grandson , Sigismund ( Mr . E , Green ) , but at his death , through the yillany of Altorf , the latter became the ' solo inheritor of his domains , and Sigismund ultimately hecomesasoldier of fortune , while his parents are fugitives from the vengeance of Altorf . Sigismund is . devoted to Bertha ( Misa Rivers ) , the daughter of Altorf , but is rejected by her father . ' After years of euparation the son meets his parents , and on learning the history of their

      misfortunes goes to the castle to bid adieu to Bertha , when a quarrel ensues between the father and lover , and Sigismund is forced to escape . Michael ( Mr , Burford ) , an Hungarian robber , in revenge for a blow given him by Altorf , breaks into the castle , stabs the' Count , and throws his body into the river . In the second act , Manfred is become tho Governor of Prague , and his son , having rescued his inamoratta from the robbers , is about to be united to her , when he is . denounced as the murderer of Count Altorf by Michael , and , by a chain of circumstantial evidence , found guilty and condemned to death . At the eleventh hour , however ,

      he is saved by the appearance of Altorf , who was rescued from the river by a monk and conveyed to a monastery , where he entered the brotherhood , and'by this last . act he atones for his hatred of Manfred , and punishes the vttlany of Michael . The piece is : well got up , and the principal parts were ably supported by Messrs . E , Green , Chester , Shore , Simpson , and Dean and the Misses C . Gibson and Rivers . If Mr . Burford would study " acting" more and ^ making up" j e gg ) it would be more to his advantage in the end . A hint to the wise is sufficient . The Forty Thieves followed , and tho entertainments concluded with the drama of Plunder Creek , which we have already noticed .

      POLYTECHNIC INSTITUTION . Mr . Pepperi the Chemical Lecturer to the abovenamed Establishment , has just commenced a lecture " On Fire , in its various relations . " The . Professor commenced by calling the attention of his audience to the ordinary appearance of light , giving flame , and showed , in a satisfactory manner , that when it afforded illuminating pswer , not merely gaseous matter was brought up , to a high temperature , but that solid substances , as charcoal . in a gas flame , lime in the oxy-hydroReh light , Were absolutely required .

      The maintenance of heat ; and the supply of oxvgen , were next considered , and it was demonstrated " that flame could be , as . it were , frozen out and extinguished . The . interesting architecture on structure of flame , were then ' considered , the external figure being conical , and shaped like a myrtle leaf , because the atr rushed passed the outside , and dragged up or elongattd it . Some beautiful experiments with ascending and descending flames , illuminated this part of the subject ; , and the learned lecturer concluded his discourse with great applause , from a very crowded audience ,

      Evbry Lady hub ows Housemaid . —We have it on the authority of Mr . Paxton—who obtained the fact direct from an observant policenian-that the Crystal Palace gets thoroughly swept every day hy the long dresses of the ladies . Mr . Paxton had invented " a machine of a hundred housemaid power" to remove the dust from the Exhibition ; but tho instrument is net required , for the ladies are the grenUust contractors , who may be said to remove all the dust and dirt from tho building by special tram . We dare sav there is considerable elegance in a dress that Sweeps the floor , but WO always thought the fashion involved much Mh and

      extravagance , and we now discover that it embraces a vast amount of dirt . The ladies may well hide their heels , when we recollect the state of their stockings . Perhaps there may be some economv , as far as the koop ofsemn ' ta is concerned ; for ' it seems that every lady of the long robe is , to a cer tain extent , her own housemaid , and takes away upon her dress and her legs all the dust and rubbish , wherever she goes . —Punch .

      LIFE IN CALIFORNIA . ( EXTRACT FROM A . PRIVATE LBTTEn . ) . ' ' California , March 18 . Since I wrote you last we have been engaged in a severe skirmish with the Indians . For a long time past mule stealing has been carried , on ia . a . -ray extensive way , and travellers returning home late in the evening have been discovered most brutally murdered , This has taken place , not only in this locality , but aho in many other districts where gold is mined , and ' wherever the American miner is working , there tbe Indian is sure to be most hostile { 'but , as far as [ have been able to judge from the seven months I have been in this country , they

      are trul y the aggressors . H they find a small party of miners , & c ,, they nearly always attack , murder , and rob as many . as they can , and * , whenever occaison offers , steal into our huts and carry off what they like , and wontonly destroy the rest , and in this manner a continual hostile feeling is kept up . I mentioned to you in ray last letter that I was just recovering from a severe fever , and this ' late encounter with the Indians has floundered and laid me up again , and involved me in pecuniary difficulties , Aller . my illness I ventured too soon into the mines , and , it being impossible to keep entirely free from water , I got a chill in my legs , and the muscles became quite ri gid and stiff . I lay in bed for some

      days / hoping thus to gradually , obtain relief , and save me from tbe dire disaster of again having recourse to the doctor , and falling under the liability of his extor tionate charges . I found myself getting better , and my heart throbbed under the brightening prospects of being able to get to San Francisco , and thence to England . As soon as 1 could , I left my bed , and was just able to limp about with the aid of sticks , when it began to be rumoured that a party was being got up to attack the Indians , and the next day we found this to be true , for a large party called at our tent and reported that we . should be required to join . I showed , or wished to show them , that I could be of little or nn

      utility to the enterprise , that I could not possibly walk without the assistance of sticks , but was only told , uo matter , if 1 could use my arras and shoulder a rifle . My old companion , who has still scurvy in his legs , pleaded his case , and pointed out that he had been ill for fourteen weeks , during which be had never been able to work on his own account at the diggings for above an hour or so . eaeh day , and this he was forced to do to assist in procuring his bare necessities ; but all to no purpose . The people seemed perfectly frantic on the subject of the pro . posed attack , and as neither ray friend nor myself wished a revolver presented at us , however infirm and incompetent we knew ourselves physically to be

      for the undertaking , we complied . I thought his case a hard one , but mine was more pitiable , for'I could not more without pain , and wondered , in the first place , howl should succeed in reaching the field , and then what sort of position 1 should , as a cripple , occupy when there . " He that runs away may live to fight another day , '' but running was simply an impossibility in my case . Not possessing a rifle , they provided me with one , which was old and enormously heavy for me , and I again attempted to exhibit my pure uselessness with such a ponderous and clumsy iron talker , but all to no purpose ; however , when the time came , and they saw that , do my best , I could only crawl along , t imagined they

      would dismiss me . In this I was again disappointed , for they mounted me upon a mule , and away we went , with , 1 believe , at this moment of excitement , few exceptions , a merry and resolute party of some 300 of us , others joining as we proceeded along the thirty miles ere we reached the appointed ground where all had to assemble ready for the attack . I at first felt exceedingly uncomfortable , not having the use of my legs , as I thought I stood naturally but a poor chance as a cripple in afield of battle , and we became perfectly aware we were approaching the ground 'from an occasional arrow fly in ? among us from the Indians' place of concealment , which the thick scrubby wood through which we

      were passing most effectually afforded them ; but they had often to pay most dearly , for this temerity , for the Americans , who are splendid shots with the rifle , knowing these single Indiana to be generally the choicest spirits of their lot , took some little trouble to rouse them out , when a single glimpse of one of our copper-coloured brothers was enough to send his spirit on its passage to the Great spirit of all . This wood is called by the miners " Chappral , ' ' and is exceedingly thick . Near to me a mule was struck simultaneously by two arrows , and , it was by no means over-pleasant to be perched upon a mule , aud continually having these arrows whiskin g by one . Tbe Indians , however , must have , aimed by

      their hearing , from the bush being so dense , and therefore shot too high . The mule wounded fortunately was a pack mule , and had no rider ; we eased him of his burden , yet he seemed much distressed ; one of the arrows must have touched his lungs . When it grew dusk we drew up for the night . We kept very vigilant , and scouts were ? ent out as sentinels , among whom I had to take my part by standing as a look out all night on a damp mossy piece of ground , that , cripple as I am , made me doubly wish I could have sat on the mule and taken my chance of being a more cocked up shot , but that on no account could 1 obtain . During this eventful night , the presage of a more eventful

      day , arrows at intervals were flying and whirling abuut us , but only two of the Americans were wounded slig htly , one in the arm and the other in tlte shoulder , as the Indians here do . not poison their arrows as they are said to dp up in the north . As' morning dawned we found the red men by no means backward for the contest , and as the first stream of light broke in upon us we discovered them prowling and crawling along the ground in all directions , and , as during the night they kept up a din by srriking something which sounded not unlike muffled drums , and from time to time yelled most savagely , the cessation of this was also intimation enough that they were turning all their attention to other more dangerous pursuits . I was

      mounted again on the mule , and we marched forward ere it had well become daylight , and then the skirmish commenced . Many of the Americans were splendid marksmen , and one who fought near me , covered by a large oak , I saw riddle seven Indians , one after the other , without a miss . When hit they just gave a stagger , and ( ell like stones . This American , seeing my shols did not take effect like hisown , was swearing and cursing me for a tarnation bad shot , when an arrow passed whizzing between us , a near shave for him to punish bim for leaving his oak ttfee to , seoul me . 1 however marked the Indian climb stealthily up a tree , and shooting at us right and left , and , letting fly at him , he came thundering down from his perch aud lay dead at the trunk .

      We lost twenty-sis of our party , besides several badly wounded . My old friend had a narrow escape by au arrow glancing along the peak of his cap , and ploughing up the skin , and my mule was struck with an arrow which made him prance , so that I was in . great danger of being carried right in among our enemies . I am now from all this exposure worse than ever , and . am confined to my bed with stiff joints , and have been compelled to . call iu the doctor . I paid him for his six week ' s attendance , when I bad tbe fever last Christmas , 465 dols . out of 500 dols . I had disposed of »>

      golddustfor , and which . was all I possessed , the particulars of which I recounted in my last ; and now , with being dragged out to this affray with the Indians , it has laid me up again , and ,, when I hope to require nothing more from htm , he comes upon me for 150 dols ., which I shall never be able to pay in the mines ; I dare not venture into the water for a long time , and trust you will transmit me tufncient to discharge this debt . I can hardly pay ray store bills , things are so high , and am obliged to live upon the coarsest food , and shall strive my utmost to get back to England .

Peatse , Esq ., churchwarden , in the chair , some letters from Bermuda applying for a fresh supply of children from the workhouse , were laid before the board , and , upon the motion of Mr . Dyke , seconded by Mr . Prendevgast , a committee was appointed to select a certain number of boys and girls from the inmates of the worhhouse , to be sent out to the island . In answer to a remark from the chairman , Mr . Dyko said that in order to legalise the proceeding , it would be merely necessary to take the children before a . magistrate . After tho transaction of other business , of purely local interestthe board separated . _ _ .

Madame Pulsky and General Ye ' . tcr , with many Hungarians , were present . A deputation was appointed to wait on Lord Palmerston on the subject , andmak

      Woman ' s Ascbndancv . —A clever writer says , that the great secret of woman ' s ascendancy is to be found in the fact , that man believes that woman looks up to him and thinks him perfect ; and , in his gratitude for her blind admiration , returns her the compliment of thinking her judgment infallible . Rather Green . —A young lady , who , perhaps , is better acquainted with French than farming , was recently married to a farmer .

Qualifications of a Wife . — "If you marry , " said an uncle , " let it be a woman who has judgment enough to superintend the work of her house—taste enough to dress herself—pride enough to wash herself before breakfast—and sense enoush to hold her

      tongue when she has nothing to say . A " Rare" Rklic—A traveller en tbe Continent visiting a celebrated cathedral , was shown by the sacristan , among other marvels , a dirty opaque phial .

At this rate the Prince will have a fortune of a million sterling ready for him when he becomes of age , without applying to Parliament for a shilling . Out of . —The words , out of , are the very worst in the language when one is out of patience and out of money ; when his wife says she is out of sugar one day , out of coffee the next , out of flour the next ; and , finally , out of spirits . The words are very good when one is out of debt , out of trouble , and out of gaol . If a man has a smoky house and scolding wife , out of doors is no bad place .

      Catching a Tartar . —One day Count Orloff , the favourite and accomplice of the Empress of Russia , in more ways than one , exhibited himself to a Samoied deputy in robes of state , refulgent with diamonds . The savage surveyed him attentively , but silently . "May I ask , " said the favourite , " what it is you admire ?"— " Nothing , " replied the Tartar , " I was thinking how ridiculous you are . " " Ridiculous ! " cried Orloff angrily , " and pray in what ?"— " Why , you shave you beard to look young , and powder your hair to look old . "

      a cabbage leaf to make an apple-pio of ! and a shebear coming up the street , put her head into the shop and said , ' Do you smell any soap ? ' So she died , and very imprudently married the barber ; and the powder fell out of the counsellor ' s wig , and ponr Mrs . Mackay ' s puddings were quite entirely spoilt ; and there was present tho Gametics , and the Gobilies , and Picimwis , and the great Pangendrum himself , with the little round button at top ; they played at the ancient game of Catch who catch can , ' till the gunpowder ran out of the heels of their boots .

      Many a Slip between the Cup and the Lip . — This saving was supposed to take its origin from one of Penelope ' s wooers being shot as he was going to drink . But it arose , as Aiusworth has it thus : — "A king of Thrace had planted a vineyard , when one of his slaves , whom lie had much oppressed ir » that very work , prophesied that he ( the king ) should never taste the wine produced by it . The king diare « avded his prophecy , and when at au entertainment be held the cup full of his own wine , he sent for this slave , and asked him insultingly what he thought of hisprophecynow ? Theslaveonly answered , " There ' s many a slip between the cup and the lip . " Scarcely had he spoken , when news was brought that a huge boar was laying his vineyard waste . The king arose in a fury , attacked the boar , and was killed without ever tasting the wine . "

Mountain of Light diamond , the solid bars of iron are g ilded . The diamond is supported in the air by i wo small golden hands , which project from golden pillars , and just lay hold of two of its projecting points—thus its full outline is shown against a purple velvet ground . It is about the size of a very small eug , hollowed on one side jotv each " side ' ufe two

      smaller diamonds . A t night , and on the touching of a spring by thecustodian , these precious gems sink into a massive iron box of impregnable stren"th . prepared by : Messrs .
