tice to say, that we have seen him clever where true country-born nature sat to him. 258. Portrait of Philip Reinagle, in the 85th Year of his Age;' REINAGLE, R.A.-This veteran artist was the favourite pupil of Allan Ramsay, and distinguished himself at an early age both in portrait and landscape. We are glad to see the likeness of a worthy father by a worthy son. 262.Smugglers;' WEBSTER.-These fellows are carrying on their wild and stirring trade under a clear and beautiful sky; indeed, we see not why the heavens should look particularly angry at a breach of the revenue laws: we too often see artists put the elements into a tumbling posture, when men commit folly. 272. Cinderella;' C. LANDSEER.'-This picture is from the slipper scene; the story is well told, and the figures well painted. 279. Whitehall Stairs, June 18, 1817; CONSTABLE, R.A.-There is much genius in all the compositions of Constable; but because, in the singular originality of their character, they fail to harmonize with the works of other men around them, they are set down as failures-as monsters-as things unnatural or absurd. We observe that one of our brethren says this picture has a watery look: if it looked like the Thames, it could not well, we fear, be otherwise; perhaps the critic alluded to the sky; if so, there he is assuredly wrong; for, if anything is descending from the sky, it is snow, and not rain. All is of the first-rate quality in this picture, save colour; but on that point, who will give counsel to Constable? 284. 'Helvoetsluys; — -the City of Utrecht, 64, going to Sea;' TURNER, R.A.Turner, in this picture, must unite the praises of all who love truth and fancy: the scene is real. Helvoetsluys is a good point to start from; and the circumstance of a sixty-four sailing out, is like an oath before a magistrate to establish identity: all else is imagination, and that of a fine kind. 309. The Bay of Naples;' ARNALD, A.-This glorious bay is looked on from the Tomb of Virgil above Pausilipo: the volcano throws up its smoke in the distance-goats repose in pairs or groups and peasants linger, pleased with the beauty of the sea and land, and with the serenity of the sky: all is clear, defined, and distinct. 813. The Opening of the New London Bridge;' STANFIELD. The artist has done wisely: his strength, like that of England, is less by land than water-so he has quitted the bridge and betaken himself to the river. On his favourite element he has wrought wonders: the Thames is peopled with high-bred dames and citizens of credit and renown: the barges are of all kinds, and thick as flowers in a spring-field; and the river itself seems not unconscious of what is going on. Stanfield is a great master of scenic effect; and here he has shown much power. 322. The Antiquary;' CAWSE.-The artist had Burns's Address to Captain Grose' in his mind when he designed this clever picture; and, indeed, he quotes one of the lines in the Catalogue: he had not, however, the image of Captain Grose A fine fat fodgel wight, Of stature short, but genius brightbefore him, when he painted the Antiquary himself. This we are more sorry for, because it disturbs the unity of the work. The verse of the poet stirs up the memory of that ton of a man; nor do we see why an antiquarian might not be fat;-the Auld nick-nackets, PANORAMA OF MILAN. THE Times has been laboriously critical in its objections to the point of view whence this Panorama is taken, but we cannot agree with the judgment. Milan is certainly not a city suited for a Panorama-but, if we are to have one, special reference must be had to the Cathedral. To have taken the view from the street, might have given a finer effect to the general proportions of this building, but would have shut out the city and the surrounding country-to have taken it from the Cathedral, was to put out the eye and light of the city, the Cathedral itself, and without any compensating advantage. Milan is poor in all its architecture-it has few palaces, no squares, no fine streets, and the surrounding country is a dead level-still an outline, a form of it, must be shown in a Panorama, and this Mr. Burford has given, retaining the Cathedral as the one principal object. We doubt, too, whether the Cathedral itself is not in this view seen to more advantage than from the level of the street-we know that we never felt the full power of its magical beauty until we stood on the transept amidst its multitudinous pinnacles, when the whole seemed to us a sort of spiritual creation, rather than a laborious upbuilding of hard stones, made by mechanical hands. All parties are, however, agreed, that the view of the Cathedral is excellent; and who would not think his shilling well bestowed to look upon this fantastic pile of beauty? It was unfortunately a very dull day when we visited the Panorama, but it seemed to us well and boldly painted. MUSIC KING'S THEATRE. THE benefit of Winter, we regret to hear, was not very profitable: he has taken his farewell for the season, and his place is supplied by Donzelli.-Cenerentola' was revived on Saturday last, for the début of Signor Tamburini. This buffo singer has long enjoyed a great reputation in Italy, nor is he likely to lose it in London, judging by the success he has already met with. His voice is a rich baritone, not unlike Zuchelli's, but far more flexible and sonorous. The part of Dandini, which he sustained on this occasion, requires a voice of great compass, to sing the passages as they are written; and it is sufficient to say, that the music had ample justice done to it on this occasion. Cinti, in the character of Cenerentola, looked and sang most delightfully-her execution of the last scena 'Non piu mesti,' for novelty of embellishments, was superior even to that of Malibran or Sontag!-the chromatic scale in ascending, we never heard more perfect on a keyed instrument-the applause was enthusiastic! Donzelli, always excellent in Don Ramiro, received his full share of approbation on Saturday-particularly in the first scene: but to our taste he sings the recitative somewhat too loud. Galli was a very respectable Magnifico--and the opera was, as a whole, well got up, and attracted one of the fullest houses of the season. ELEVENTH ANTIENT CONCERT. Director-Archbishop of York. Judging from the variety and excellence of this selection, we incline to believe, that His Grace has the good sense to consult with, and defer to the judgment of the Conductor. 'Achieved is the glorious work,' from the 'Creation;' The many rend the skies,' from 'Alexander's Feast,'' Dove sono,' from 'Figaro,' three movements from Handel's Te Deum,' and the overture to Don Giovanni,' were all well performed; and these, with the aid of Cinti, were sufficient to make it a satisfactory performance. SEVENTH PHILHARMONIC CONCERT. MOZART'S 'Jupiter,' Haydn's Sinfonia, Letter V, the overtures to Euryanthe,' and 'Proserpina,' were the four grand orchestral pieces of this Concert. Herr Haitzinger was encored in the aria, Wehen mir Lüfte Ruh!' from Euryanthe:' the singing and music were both excellent. Mendelssohn played a pianoforte Concerto (MS.) of his own composition, consisting of three movements. It began with a bold allegro, in a minor key, which, from the character and novel style of its treatment, might be described a "dramatic scena for the pianoforte," with orchestral accompaniment. The andante opened with a beautiful melody for basses, with sustained accompaniments for tenors and bassoons, and finished with violins, accompanying the same melody on the pianoforte, "tremulando e diminuendo," which produced the happiest effects. The last allegro wound up in a major key with difficulties which none but the author could master! This performance throughout was loudly applauded, and, as an exhibition of pianoforte playing, we unhesitatingly pronounce it, more astonishing than any we have yet witnessed. Miss Inverarity, in the grand scena from Spohr's Azor and Zemira,' was so completely overcome by nervous excitement, as to be unable to sing it with her accustomed success! The aria' Vedro mentre,' from 'Figaro,' was chastely sung by Pellegrini, of the German company. Nicholson was as usual brilliant in his fantasia on the flute, and Haitzinger in 'Dies Bildmiss,' from Zauberflöte,' was greatly applauded. We have seldom heard the band more unsteady than at this Concert, and Mr. Weichsal should take the hint and retire. MR. BEGREZ'S CONCERT. Ar this Concert, on Tuesday last, Mesdames Cinti and Vigano sang delightfully, but we were particularly struck by the taste, execution, and silvery tones of Miss Osborne, a very young lady, just arrived, we understand, from Paris, where she studied under Bordogni, the very best master in Europe. This young lady evinces considerable talent, and is likely, we think, to rise to eminence. THEATRICALS DRURY LANE. THIS Theatre closed on Friday the 25th instant, upon which occasion Mr. Wallack deli'Cenerentola' was repeated on Tuesday, with vered a farewell address, expressing, in neat and increased success. After the fall of the curtain, appropriate language, the heartfelt gratitude of the audience vociferously called for an encore the lessee for the heavy losses he has experiof Cinti's last scena, which, notwithstanding the enced, and his proud sense of the want of pagreat exertion and fatigue she had gone through, tronage, which has compelled him to close his was readily complied with. Tamburini is much doors a month before the usual time. It is, in applauded, and honourably maintains his high truth, a sorry subject for joking upon, and yet reputation. The theatre was again crowded there is something irresistibly comical in returnto witness Fidelio,' on Wednesday last. Il ing thanks for a bad season, because it has been Don Giovanni,' we hear, will be given by the the custom to do so for a good one. It is somesame German singers, next week, and be fol- thing like a schoolboy, who having had it forcibly lowed by a grand opera seria, founded on impressed upon him, that he is never to receive Shakspeare's Macbeth,' composed by Herr Schellard, who now conducts the performances. any thing without saying "thank you," has a box on the ear given him by a bigger boy, and says you "thank for nothing." To our thinking, it would have been better, either to have dropped the custom altogether, or to have frankly acknowledged the loss sustained, and put it to the public good feeling to support the house better next season;--promising, at the same time, that such support should be better deserved. There was some slight mention of the theatre not having been quite so prosperous as usual, but the main cause-mismanagement-was not alluded to. We admit that there would have been some awkwardness in the frank avowal recommended; but then the dilemma has been of the management's own creating. The bills have been continually asserting that each new piece was received with enthusiasm, by crowded, brilliant, and overflowing audiences; and it would have looked odd to come forward and state that many successes had made one great failure, and that the result of a long career of prosperity was a loss of 10,000l.-a sum which we are inclined to fear is the most moderate at which it can be estimated. We have had occasion, during the late season, to find more or less fault with almost every thing which has been brought forward at this house; and when there has been merit in the pieces themselves, we have not been able to avoid censuring the manner in which they have been produced. On looking over our notices, we have not discovered one case, in which the remarks it has been our duty to make, have not been somehow or other borne out by the result. Those who think we take pleasure in making unfavourable reports are entirely mistaken. Nothing gives us so much real gratification, nor do we ever write with so much good-will and earnestness as when we can conscientiously accord unlimited praise. We wish to see all theatres do well, particularly the two called, par excellence, "national"; but the time is gone by when they can succeed, as a matter of course they can no longer do so, without taking care to deserve it. The increased exertions of the minors must be met by a corresponding increase on the part of the majors; and if this be done judiciously, they will always keep the lead. Operas must not be brought out, as has been the case this season at Drury Lane,-when the principal singers do not know three-fourths of the music they have to sing; nor should plays be acted before the actors have had time to learn even the words by heart. These are glaring defects of management; and, while such are committed, who can wonder, that play after play, whatever may have been its real merit, should have lingered its five, six, or nine nights, without interest to the public or profit to the proprietors? We have heard, in theatrical circles, one person blamed by one, another by another, and a third by a third. Of our own knowledge, we know not who may have been in fault, and if we did, we should not say it, because personality is our favourite aversion. We speak of "the management"-and we speak as we do, wishing the management sincerely well for its own sakefor the sake of the hundreds who depend for support upon the concern, and for the sake of the public, who, whatever may be said of them, have not given up their taste for theatrical amusements, and who, on good and sufficient provocation, will still come to indulge it. Witness 'The Hunchback.' We know nothing of the arrangements at this theatre for next season, but shall be most happy if truth will permit us to begin on the first night with a favourable report, and to continue in the same strain to the last.-Mr. Wallack, it appears, has left us, to revisit the United States. This is to be regretted; it is not easy now-a-days-nay, we believe it is impossible to supply his place, by one who, like him, is always well received, whether he appears in tragedy, comedy, farce, or melo-dramę. Knowing that the Athenæum is much read in COVENT GARDEN. One of the most crowded audiences ever | drama generally, and to the cause of the Minor Theatres in particular, that we have renounced our intention in disgust. We shall not quote the ribald and filthy contents of this scandalous production, because we will not, even for a good purpose, make ourselves parties to their further dissemination; but we must allude to them in terms sufficiently clear to show, that our disgust has not been lightly assumed, and that it ought not to be, and, consequently, will not be laid aside until the returning reason of the proprietor shall have induced him to offer some public apology for the outrage he has committed against public decency. This paper, being one exclusively devoted to scientific and literary subjects, politics are, of course, excluded from its columns. Whenever occasion for an incidental allusion to them has arisen-wherever a political opinion has made a forced peep through the thickleafed hedge of literature, our readers must have recognized the features of liberality; but liberality is as far removed from licentiousness, one way, as it is from bigotry, the other. Be our opinions what they may, it is quite certain, that rational and well-meaning persons of all political creeds will unite with us, in a firm determination to resist, at its outset, this miserable attempt to convert a place of public amusement into a political bear-garden, and to make the bills of a theatre, which has been permitted to style itself "Royal," the medium of foul-mouthed, pothouse slander, against the King and Queen of England. A dramatic writer of any grade, above the lowest of the low, when writing in times of great public excitement, would naturally and carefully abstain from the use of expressions, couched even in decent language, which appeared to him likely to add to the existing irritationand he would do this no less from good taste than policy. It is true, that it is not always possible to guard against accidental misconstruction, and, that frequently passages have been taken in a political sense by an audience which were never so meant by an author; but this case is altogether different, from the rank and premeditated offence under discussion. The vulgar and catch-penny trick, which the proprietor of the Coburg Theatre has taken the liberty of playing with the burletta of "Tom Thumb,' is one which he would not have dared to put upon the work of any living author without his permission, and one to which, we trust, for the honour of dramatic writers, that, there is no one living who would have been base and contemp packed within the walls of a theatre, assembled COBURG THEATRE. expe THIS house was the first which we had proposed, in pursuance of our half-promise of last week, to visit and report upon during the present; but a bill has been issued by the proprietor, which is so disreputable and disgraceful in itself, and likely to be so detrimental to the then, to be tolerated, that, to answer the ends of sordid and selfish speculation, an affront of this nature is to be put upon the memory of the dead? Are the works of one who has no longer the power to help himself, to lose their place in the pleasant recollections of laughing thousands, and henceforth to be mixed up only with the contemplation of all that is bad-all that is heartless? Forbid it, Press of England, by holding up the foul slander to public execration! Forbid it, Lovers of the Drama, by absenting yourselves from a house where your favourite amusement is poisoned as its source! MISCELLANEA Ships' Rudders.-The following is the abridged Report of the Committee of the New York Nautical Institution promised in our last : "Your Committee must confess, that, after the closest investigation, they have not been able to bring forward any new discovery or invention, but merely to glean a few ideas from the best of those which have come within their notice.Your Committee are, however, firmly of opinion, that a rudder properly constructed, according to the best plans now in use, would rarely, if ever, be lost at sea, especially if properly managed. It may not be thought unworthy of remark, that no vessel of the United States Navy, has lost a rudder at sea, within the recollection of the oldest officers. "All things considered, your Committee prefer those plain rudders that have been long in use by maritime nations, especially in ships of war, where the best practical talent and science have been engaged in bringing them to the present degree of perfection. This rudder is strait on the forward part from top to bottom, moving freely in a polygonal trunk or case, above which is inserted the tiller in a square head, well banded; the breadth at the loaded water line being about three-fifths of that at the keel. It is desirable that it should be no wider than is requisite to govern the ship, without in any case making a greater angle with the keel, than forty-five degrees; because if too wide, it acts as a powerful lever on the braces, when the ship has quick stern way. Long tillers are preferable to short ones, because, in case of the tiller-ropes giving way, it could be more easily managed; besides, they require less aid from blocks or pullies, and when the rudder is struck by a sea, the long tiller, by yielding a little, gradually resists its force, and acts as a spring does on a carriage. The number and size of the braces will depend on the size of the ship; but all vessels over 300 tons should not have less than four sets below the counter. "The metal of which they are formed should possess the greatest strength and durability; there is reason to suppose that too much zinc has been used instead of copper, in some instances. The googings should be well fastened to the stern-post and bottom, and should be much stronger than the pintles, because, when the latter only give way, a new rudder can be shipped while the ship is afloat, with all her cargo on board; thus saving the time, trouble and expense of unloading, heaving out, or going into dry dock. "When the rudder braces give way, in a heavy sea, it becomes necessary to get clear of the rudder as quickly as possible, to prevent its tearing away the counter; the trunk should not therefore be too small, and the tiller should be attached to the rudder head in such a manner that it could be quickly disengaged. "The tiller should be inserted as low down upon the rudder as possible, having a great tendency to twist it, when placed too far above where it meets the resistance of the water." Cost of Publishing in Germany.-This is stated, by a bookseller of Berlin, to be composed of the undermentioned items; so far as regards a work of twenty sheets printed to the extent of one thousand copies : 10 0 0 70 0 10 O 25 0 0 53 10 0 216 0 Presuming these charges and profits to be correct, the remunerating sale price of a volume of three hundred and twenty pages appears to be somewhat less than four shillings and fourpence! We must, however, remark, that seventy pounds is far too high an average for the remuneration to German authors; it will not, in general, be found to exceed thirty; and this abatement will reduce the selling price of the volume to nearly three shillings and sixpence. Prince Maximilian, of Neuwied, to whom natural history is already so largely indebted for his investigations in the New World, has just set out upon a new scientific expedition to North America, and has taken Bodmer, the celebrated landscape painter of Zurich, with him as his companion. The Prince left Neuwied on the 7th instant, and purposes spending two years in America. ADVERTISEMENTS Zales by Auction. PICTURES AND MINIATURES FROM BELGIUM. R.

TO CORRESPONDENTS In reply to the Editor of Faust's Catechism, Dr. Granville states, that the work referred to in his preface was "an original work published at Philadel phia." Here then the question is set at rest-but we must add, that H. H. was too unconditional in his assertion, if it could be met by so positive a contradiction. We would have published Dr. Granville's letter, but that, from some observations in it, the Editor of Faust's Catechism might claim the right of reply, and we have no desire to have the controversy continued. Richard of York,' The Unchanged,' and other works, are necessarily deferred. As our sheet is not quite so sympathetic as La Fay's girdle, it is clearly impossible to embrace in it all the works published this week.

This New Edition of Mr. Burke's popular work, in addition to comprising, exclusively, the whole Hereditary Rank of England, Ireland, and Scotland, (exceeding Fifteen Hundred Families,) has been so extended, as to embrace almost every individual in the remotest degree allied to those eminent houses; so that its collateral information is now considerably more copious, than that of any similar work hitherto published. The lines of descent have likewise been greatly enlarged, and numerous historical and biographical anecdotes, together with several curious and rare papers, have been supplied. The Peerages under discussion in the House of Lords (a new feature in such a work) are minutely detailed, and the claims upon which the respective petitioners to Parliament pray the restoration of suspended honours are fully explained. The Armorial Ensigns have been re-engraved, upon a plan of incorporation with the letter-press, so that the existing state of each family, with its lineage and arms, will be found all together. Amongst the illustrations, is a fine head of His present Majesty, from Sir Thomas Lawrence's celebrated drawing, engraved by permission exclusively for this work.

Schloss, Foreign Book and Printseller, 103, St. Martin's-lane, Charing-cross, where Specimens of the Work may be seen, and Prospectuses obtained. The sketch under our notice especially refers to that part of early British history in which Caractacus and his brave Cambrian band courageously, but unsuccessfully, resisted the invasion of the Roman hordes under Ostorius Scapula; and extends to the humiliating scene which presents the captive British prince, in manacles, with his wife and children, before the imperial throne of Cæsar. "The sketch presents a variety of scenes, in which the vigour and fancy of the poet, and the elegance of the scholar, are forcibly exhibited."-Manchester Chronicle. "These specimens are sufficient to prove the author of these pages to be a poet with sense and feeling of no ordinary quality." -Literary Guardian. "There is a force and stern vigour, and withal a smoothness, in the lines, which at once seize on the reader's imagination, and carry him on to the end. One cannot read Caractacus' without becoming deeply imbued with the spirit of the author, and according him the tribute of having a vivid and powerfully poetic mind under the control of a correct and cultivated judgment. There are passages not inferior to many in the Odyssey of Pope -combining great strength with much sweetness.' "-Staffordshire Gazette. F William Kidd, 228, Regent-street.

"This unpretending littie volume deserves a place with Goldsmith's pathetic Deserted Village.' It is calculated, perhaps, to be of more real service to the poor than that justly-celebrated production, since the scenes it describes are not imaginary-they are true pictures of the actual state of society, in too many parts of this island. Most heartily do we recommend The Village Poor-House' to the perusal of the public at large, as a humane, enlightened, and highly poetical production."-Dispatch. Smith, Elder, and Co. 65, Cornhill.
