 "On the opposite side of Lady Blessington stood Henry Bulwer, the brother of the novelist, very earnestly engaged in a discussion of some speech of O'Connell's. He is said by many to be as talented as his brother, and has lately published a book on the present state of France. He is a small man; very slight and gentlemanlike; a little pitted with the smallpox, and of very winning and persuasive manners. I liked him at the first glance.

"A German prince, with a star on his breast, trying with all his might—but, from his embarrassed look, quite unsuccessfully—to comprehend the drift of the argument; the Duke de Richelieu; a famous traveller just returned from Constantinople; and the splendid person of Count D'Orsay, in a careless attitude upon the ottoman, completed the cordon.

"I fell into conversation after a while with Smith, who, supposing I might not have heard the names of the others in the hurry of an introduction, kindly took the trouble to play the dictionary, and added a graphic character of each as he named him. Among other things, he talked a great deal of America, and asked me if I knew our distinguished countryman, Washington Irving. I had never been so fortunate as to meet him. 'You have lost a great deal,' he said, 'for never was so delightful a fellow. I was once taken down with him into the country by a merchant to dinner. Our friend stopped his carriage at the gate of his park, and asked us if we would walk through his grounds to the house. Irving refused, and held me down by the coat, so that we drove

 on to the house together, leaving our host to follow on foot. 'I make it a principle,' said Irving, 'never to walk with a man through his own grounds. I have no idea of praising a thing whether I like it or not. You and I will do them to-morrow morning by ourselves.' The rest of the company had turned their attention to Smith as he began his story, and there was a universal inquiry after Mr. Irving. Indeed, the first question on the lips of every one to whom I am introduced as an American is of him and Cooper. The latter seems to me to be admired as much here as abroad, in spite of a common impression that he dislikes the nation. No man's works could have higher praise in the general conversation that followed, though several instances were mentioned of his having shown an unconquerable aversion to the English when in England. Lady Blessington mentioned Mr. Bryant, and I was pleased at the immediate tribute paid to his delightful poetry by the talented circle around her.

"Toward twelve o'clock Mr. Lytton Bulwer was announced, and enter the author of 'Pelham.' I had made up my mind how he should look, and, between prints and descriptions, thought I could scarcely be mistaken in my idea of his person. No two things could be more unlike, however, than the ideal of Mr. Bulwer in my mind and the real Mr. Bulwer who followed the announcement. I liked his manners extremely. He ran up to Lady Blessington with the joyous heartiness of a boy let out of school; and the 'how d'ye, Bulwer?' went round, as he shook hands with every body, in the

 a small specimen from the Nile, L. bibie has remained undiscovered in that river up to the present time. De Joannis. docs not mention the bluish cross-bars, which, however, are very faint. It is most desirable that specimens from the Nile should be directly compared with West African ones.

I am unable to arrive at a definite conclusion as to whether Barilus senegalensis, Steindachner (SB. Wien. Akad. 1870, lxi. p. 564, Taf. v. fig. 2), from the Senegal, should be referred to this species. Lat. 1. 59-63; maxillary extending to behind the centre of the eye.

I am equally uncertain with regard to Opsaridium Bucholzi, Peters (MB. Berl. Akad. 1876, p. 251, fig. 4). It also comes from the Ogowé River; but, to judge from the diagnosis and figure, Peters's fish has fewer scales in the lateral line (46), a smaller eye and longer snout (the specimens are of about the same size), and a longer maxillary, which reaches behind the middle of the eye. Peters represents his fish without any colour-markings.

Assuming that there are two distinct species of Barilius in West Africa, from a geographical point of view B. senegalensis would probably prove to be identical with the Nile fish, whilst the Ogowé specimens described by Peters and myself might prove to be the second species; but this assumption is not confirmed by the description of the various authors. Thus, as not one of the descriptions extant fully agrees with our specimen, I apply at present the oldest name to it.

Oxf. Every man's conscience is a thousand men,

To fight against this guilty homicide.

Herb. I doubt not but his friends will turn to us.

Blunt. He hath no friends but what are friends for fear,

Which in his dearest need will fly from him.

Richm. All for our vantage: then, in God's name, march:

K. Rich. Norfolk, we must have knocks; ha! must we not?

Nor. We must both give and take, my loving lord.

Nor. Six or seven thousand is their utmost power.

K. Rich. Why, our battalia trebles that account;

Besides, the king's name is a tower of strength,

Which they upon the adverse faction want.

Up with the tent! Come, noble gentlemen,

Let us survey the vantage of the ground;

Call for some men of sound direction:

Let's lack no discipline, make no delay;

For lords, to-morrow is a busy day.

Richm. The weary sun hath made a golden set,

And, by the bright tract of his fiery car,

Gives token of a goodly day to-morrow.

Sir William Brandon, you shall bear my standard.

Give me some ink and paper in my tent:

I'll draw the form and model of our battle,

Limit each leader to his several charge,

And part in just proportion our small power.

My Lord of Oxford, you, Sir William Brandon,

And you, Sir Walter Herbert, stay with me.

The Earl of Pembroke keeps his regiment:

Good Captain Blunt, bear my good-night to him,

And by the second hour in the morning

Desire the earl to see me in my tent.

Yet one thing more, good captain, do for me;

Where is Lord Stanley quarter'd, do you know?

Which, well I am assur'd, I have not done,—

A constant bloom may be kept up from March to November, by introducing from our woods and ﬁelds the various beautiful ornaments with which nature has so pro fusely decorated them. Even in winter we may levy contri butions from the woods. As we said before, a deep plate. a

little earth from the woods, a few varieties of moss arranged

with an eye to color, one of the beautiful little linnea borealis, or partridge berry, with its vivid, green trailing leaves, and bright scarlet vines, or some of the thousand tiny plants, with their grey, red-veined leaves, will form a miniatur gar den. Ali the care that is wanted is to keep the moss moist. We have seen one of these little moss gardens in March gay with crocus and with dwarf tulips. As an experiment, a crocus bulb was inserted in a cleft of the moss, and in a few days shot up its lance-like leaves, rather to the surprise of the ex perimenter. Others were added, and a pretty little garden in a soup-plate was the result. But like too many amateurs, we are lingering too long over the result of gardening, rather than over gardening itself.

protection can be easily given by forming an arch of pliable

hoops and sticks over the plants, and when the weather is exceedingly cold, throwing some straw matting, or some old pieces of carpet or quilts over the arch. When the weather is mild, however. it is advisable to give them as much free air as possible.

Observations on Made Dishes.—In the brown made dishes take special care no fat is on the top of the gravy, but skim it clean 00'. If you use wine, put it in some time before your dish is ready, to take off the rawness. When you use fried forcemeat balls, put them on a sieve to drain the fat from them, and never let them boil in your sauce—it will give them a greasy look, and soften them; the bet way is to put them in alter your meat is dished up.

This is a small quarto, elegantly printed on cream-colored paper, illustrated with numerous superior engravings, and bound neatly in embossed cloth.

We do not think this novel inferior, as a work of art. even to the best of Miss Bromcr’s earlier ﬁctions; and having said this, what more can we say in its praise? There is so much exceptionable literature printed in these times. that a parent hardly knows what new book to introduce into the household. To “ The Four Sisters,"

however, no exception can be taken. It is deeply intercsb ing; is full of instruction; abounds in capital pictures of Swedish life; and breathes a pure moral atmosphere that in sensibly refines and spirltualizes the reader.

Archer, Warner & Miskey, of this city, have just finished a bronze balus trade, for the Capitol extension at Washington, which, we may safely assert, ranks foremost in the world among works of art of a. similar kind. Instead of stiﬂ~ hamsters to support the rail, a gmceful pattern is employed, in which animals and birds are introduced in a screll~work of fruits and ﬂowers. All these are American and modeled from Nature. It is impossible to convey, in words, any idea of the ﬁdelity of this exquisite affair. An eagle, with extended wings, is, perhaps, the most striking ﬁgure; and next to this a stag crushing a rattlesnake. Architects, who have carefully studied the best screens, gates, and other master-pieces in bronze, in Europe, say that this balustrade equals any simi lar thing abroad.

A Cosnr Bursa—The Empress Eugenie has just pur chased the dress in point d’Alencon given by the city of Rouou to the aunt of Louis XVI., on her visit there with Louis XV. The Empress has paid the sum of ten thousand dollars for the dress, which has a train of two yards and a quarter in length, and is covered with birds, and trees, and emhlematical ﬁgures of all kinds. We have seen lace dresses, at weddings in this city, worth ﬁve or six thousand dollars; but ten thousand, as yet, is a figure above republicans.

Had I been any god of pow'er, I would Have sunk the sea within the earth, or o’er It should the good ship so have swallow’d, and The frcightiug souls within her.” 'In many respects, Miranda is the best of Shakspeare’s female heroines, lovely and womanly as they all are. Mrs. Jameson, in her “Characteristics,” says of this exquisite delineation ;—“ Had Shakspeare never created a Miranda, we should never have been made to feel how completely the purely natural and the purely ideal can blend into each other.” And she adds 1—“ The character of Miranda resolves itself into the very elements of womanhood. She is beauti ful, modest and tender, and she is these only; they comprise her whole being, external and internal. She is so perfectly unsophisticated, so delicately reﬁned, that she is all but ethereal. Let us imagine any other woman placed beside Miranda—even one of Shakspeare’s own loveliest and sweet est creations—there is not one of them that could sustain the comparison for a moment; not one that would not ap pear somewhat coarse and artiﬁcial when brought into im mediate contact with this pure child of nature, this ‘Eve of an Enchanted Paradiso.’” And again :—~‘Not only is she exquisitely lovely, being what she is, but we are made to feel that she could not possibly be otherwise than she is pourtrayed. She has never beheld one of her own sex: she has never caught from society one imitated or artiﬁcial grace. The impulses which have come to her, in her en chanted solitude, are of heaven and nature, not of the world and its vanities.” Such a woman Mr. Oonarroe has realized on canvas. It is not mere beauty, in the common acceptation of the term, which is depicted in her face; but there is there also a spirit ual loveliness, full of all purity and truth. What sadness, too, what womanly pity! The action of the picture, as a composition, is very good. The waves tossing on the shore; Miranda's hair blown about by the winds; the black, whirl

ing clouds overhead; the forked lightningz—all these for cibly express the agitation of Nature, which, so to speak, is

the burden of the play. Mr. Sartain has also done himself great credit by the manner in which he has engraved the picture for us. Lin Succulents—In a letter, enclosing two dollars, the writer says—“I expect to take your Magazine as long as I live: I think it the best published." Every year we are adding extensively to this list of life subscribers. We have names, on our books, that have been receiving the Magazine for ﬁfteen or sixteen yam.
