This is the only festival at which the peasantry are privileged to enter the Villa Reale the public gardens of Naples and they take full advantage of the license: crowds from the surrounding country come in at an early hour, and bear along with them the fine fruits of the season; and the long reed of the marshes, which grows so lux cold, I had not said so much in by-gone hours, Calmly could leave this fair and glowing scene, gour of her later works in prose or in verse, they will cherish her memory as that of one of the most beloved of female authors, the pride and glory of our country while she lived, and the undying delight of succeeding generations.

She is gone, and, oh, what a light of mind is extinguished; what an amount of friendship and of love has gone down into her grave!* The death of her uncle, the Rev.

He was one who took a constant interest in the welfare and rising fame of his matchless relative. DRAMA. PANTOMIME-NIGHT at the theatres, like boxing-day with another large class of the community, is a sort of jubilee, which attracts the attention of all ranks,—the old world and the young. In criticising these performances, and especially in comparing them with former productions of the same kind, we ought not only to endeavour, as it seems to us, to divest ourselves of early predilections and prejudices, and of the mist which intervening time has cast over our senses; but we should consider that the altera tions in the theatres themselves must have led to considerable changes in the invention and getting up of such spectacles. The immense tricks and transformations much more diffisize of the great stages renders the execution of cult; and the exertions of the principal performers also not only more fatiguing, but necessarily of a different kind. It is easy to manage fifty square feet of machinery; not so, five hundred or five thousand. It is easy to Since writing this, accounts have been received which intimate that Mrs. Maclean fell a sacrifice to the incautious use of a medicine which she took for the relief of spasms. descend a trap five feet deep, or leap through a window three feet high; not so pleasant, a fall of twenty feet, or a jump of a dozen, with a very disagreeable uncertainty as to what is to be your reception below, or on the other side. There are numerous other inconveniences with which the large houses have to contend; but, perhaps, the greatest of all at the present time, is the strange and anomalous state of the public press, as it affects dramatic speculation and property. Adventuring sums of importance and magnitude on experiments is, at the best, but too precarious; it is, indeed, a pity to see the spirit of party and partisanship vitiating almost every newspaper report of the performances, and often most unjustly prejudicing the interests it ought to be their pride to cherish and protect. Belonging to the body, we are sorry to offer these observations; but it is a public duty; and by a very little pains we will shew how apt that public is to be misled by following the guidance to which we have alluded. After witnessing the new pantomimes, we took the trouble to refer to the journals for contemporary opinions, to ascertain whether or not they agreed with our own; and we think our readers will be as much surprised as we were to discover how flatly they contradicted each other witness the following specimens of : COMPARATIVE CRITICISM!! over his wild beasts," &c.-Times.

Police, police! take this sweep into custody." The mention of "old Grimaldi,” smacks of an understanding with the Times' critic. But let us go to what is our more immediate More general again. object, the critiques on the pantomime. The "Many of the transformations were clever, but the opening scenes before the characters are trans instantaneous changes of entire scenes was the most remarkable feature in the mechanical arrangements of the whole piece."-Herald. "The staleness and the paucity of the tricks wearied the audience early in the evening; and the dulness of a harlequinade within a harlequinade, enacted by some Dutch artistes, of the names of Lehmann and Winther, and the bad working of the scenery. from first to last, completed the distaste so effectually, that much loud disapprobation followed the fall of the curtain."-Chronicle. In every change (of the scenery) we see something to "The scenery is all good-and there are some clever jokes."-Post. praise and to admire."-Times. Come we to the Dutch actors, and there is no better agreement; no less direct contra dietion. "The Lehmann and Winther family are clever, but less favourably received than the intrinsic merit deserved, formed. "The various characters are introduced, disfigured in the most absurd but most amusing manner."-Times. "We pass somewhat reluctantly from this beautiful introduction-this exquisite framework of the piece, into the burletta portion."-Chronicle. "We are sorry to find the contest (in the introduction) between Nature and Art carried on in so low a style." "Ugly masks, which offend the sight too long."-Post. "Nature and art are most happily brought in contrast, and the painter has most admirably illustrated both with a pencil full of imagination, taste, and vigour."-Herald. The pantomimic part gives rise to equally bered that many of these matters are statements discordant statements; and it should be rememof facts which admit of no variety of opinion if truly reported, and not matters of judgment, in which no two people need agree. will be deemed a curious exhibition of the modes in newspaper criticism. We should be sorry to impute improper motives to any respectable journal; but it is impossible not to see, that in some instances the persons whom these journals employ are induced to misrepresent the theatres, either by eulogy or censure. And, even in their case, we would not impute corruption; but men's minds may be biassed in other ways, and likings or resentments so angmented, as to lead to a dereliction from what is due to truth and the faithful discharge of a public trust.

With the remembrance of the dwarf Hervio Nano, who was so recently on the same boards, still fresh in our minds, imagine our astonishment to see his place supplied by one, who we of a verity believe to be eight feet high, and finely proportioned withal. A burletta entitled The Giant of Palestine, concocted by Mr. Stirling, partly from Tasso's "Jerusalem," and partly from his own head, served to introduce the new-comer, who was warmly welcomed. Mr. Bibin is light and active for his size, and ex hibits none of that dull heaviness so common in the overgrown. The piece is well arranged as a vehicle for shewing the powers of the giant, and was greatly enlivened by some capital comic acting on the part of Mrs. Keeley and Mr. H. Beverley; the lady's expression of fright after her swagger of "Who cares for a giant ?" when she finds him standing behind her, was as admirable as any thing we ever saw. Two other attractions made their appearances in the same lady, by name Miss Fortescue; the second, a evening. The first, a very handsome young farce, called Jim Crow in his new Place: but the greatness of the first performer (Mr. Bihin), so absorbed our ideas, that we can only add that all of the novelties were quite successful, and [ing memoranda illustrative of the life of the Bowers on the Diseases of Horses, Horned Cattle, and Olympic.
