winter and the meeting of Parliament approach, the Piedmontese capital begins to fill with senators, deputies, and other "as they should be" people; and an extra opera opened at the Carignano Theatre, by the enterprise of Signor Ronzoni (impresario of the Royal Opera), has had the effect of detaining many more passing travellers on their way southwards, than we are accustomed to see stop here at this time of year. The great attraction which Signor Ronzoni has been fortunate enough to secure is the Signora Maria Piccolomini, who has created a perfect furore among all sorts and conditions of men in Turin, in Verdi's opera of the "Trovatore." With great powers and talents as a singer, this young lady combines the most inestimable quality of a great actress, that of thoroughly understanding the part she has to represent. But perhaps the romance of her own history is not the least of her charms for the public. Of an ancient and noble family of Sienna, which reckons among its members two popes (Pius II. and III.) and seven cardinals, one of whom is now in existence, and unele to the lady in question, she has entered upon her present career much against the wishes of her family in the first instance, solely from an inspiration of her peculiar fitness for the stage. At an early age she evinced a great genius for the art, and, contrary to the prejudices of the class to which she belongs, and the arguments of her anxious parents, she determined on pursuing an avocation which certainly promises now to bring her wide Her family at length, finding this passion really amounted to a "calling," gave way, and, the consent of all parties having been obtained, she made her debut with the utmost success at Florence; since when she has sung at Pisa, Rome, and other places with like applause. This story, eagerly passed from mouth to mouth in theatres and cafes, and losing nothing as it went, would soon establish a reputation for a young and pretty woman like the Piccolomini, even without her talents; but, added to them, and

renown.

her position in society, which placed her above all necessity (for it is said that, pecuniarily, she is rather a loser by her engagements), it has made her appearance before the public a series of ovations. Great as her success has been here, however, it may sately be predicted that it would be much greater in England, should she ever go there. There, those qualities which are now only regarded as coincidences would be duly appreciated, and like Jenny Lind, her private character would become her best recommendation to public esteem."—Critic.

FINE-ART GOSSIP.-The National Gallery is again open to the public. There is no visible addition or change of arrangement in the pictures; and we still have to regret the want of some general classification, either according to schools, time, or quality. Venetian pictures monopolize the north wall of the great west room; but, on the remaining spaces, Guido, Correggio, Sebastiano del Piombo, Francia, and Tintoretto jostle one another in a very strange manner. The Francias are now glazed, and the unsatisfactory Bellini picture, of a knight adoring the Madonna and Child, is placed on a level with the eye. The great Sebastiano del Piombo has also been lowered some six inches, and appears to be less sloped than for merly. A main feature of this year's administration of the National Gallery is an authorized Catalogue of all the pictures, with dates of the birth and death of each artist," price one penny."

The King of Prussia, in spite of his faults, does affect some interest in Architecture. At his last visit to Cologne he laid the first stone of a proposed new bridge between Cologne and Deutz; and witnessed the depositing of the last stone of the south portal of the Cathedral, a part which has been built at his own expense. In seven or eight years the whole building, except the towers, is to be finished. If there were funds sufficient, three years would suffice. The King concluded by laying the first stone of a new Museum, in the Minorsten Platz, a building to be raised at the expense of a merchant of the city.

The Synagogue at Great St. Helen's has just been decorated at an expense of 3,000l. The Builder speaks highly of the ornamental metal work, and the general rich effect of the whole.

The room over the Southampton Bar-gate, used for town-council purposes, has recently been enlarged. The gate is an erection of the twelfth century, with addition in the fourteenth, of a semi-octagon, fitting on to the two round towers of the old fortress. The Norman structure, under much carpenter's Gothie, has been found complete, and will now be restored The mullions of the windows are gone, but the jambs remain; and the inner-arched heads have been also discovered. Every day we are winning back bits of the times of Wickliffe and Chaucer, or Lydgate and the Roses.

A sum of 500 guineas has been subscribed for a statue of the Duke of Wellington, to be errected on the new esplanade at Lowestoft.

An Athenæum is to be erected at Warminster, at a cost of 1,300l.

Mr. J. Tollemache, M.P., has presented Nantwich with a piece of ground for the erection of a townhall.

Hobson's Conduit, at Cambridge, is to be re-erected at the end of Trumpington Street.

The new Mechanics' Institution at Manchester, which is to cost 22,000, will be completed by Midsummer, 1856.

Mr. O. Hudson succeeds Mr. R. N. Wornum as Lecturer on Ornament at Marlborough House. The sale of the collection of engravings and etchings left by the late Herr Hermann Weber, of Bonn to which at the time we drew the attention of our readers [ante, p. 789]-has taken place, and is said to have been one of the most animated ever witnessed in Germany. A great number of dealers and virtuosi-Germans, English, and French-attended the sale, and the prices given were, for the most part, much higher than is usual in Germany. Many of the finest articles, especially of the Netherland etchings, have gone to France. Almost all the old German and old Italian works have remained in Germany. The second division of Herr Weber's collectious will be sold next spring. It contains, among others, a work by Rembrandt, the completeness and beauty of which, it is asserted, will astonish the connoisseurs.

An ominous owl with his solemn base voice, Sat moaning hard by; sat moaning hard by. "The tyrant's proud minions most gladly rejoice, "For he must soon die; for he must soon die."

The brave fellow told them, no thing he restrain'd,
The cruel gen'ral; the cruel gen'ral.
His errand from camp, of the ends to be gain'd,
And said that was all; and said that was all.

They took him and bound him and bore him away,
Down the hill's grassy side; down the hill's grassy

side.

'Twas there the base hirelings, in royal array,
His cause did deride; his cause did deride.
Five minutes were given, short moments, no more,
For him to repent; for him to repent;

He pray'd for his mother, he ask'd not another,
To Heaven he went; to Heaven he went.

The faith of a martyr, the tragedy shew'd,

As he trod the last stage; as he trod the last stage. And Britons will shudder at gallant Hale's blood, And his words do presage, as his words do presage. Thou pale king of terrors, thou life's gloomy foe, Go frighten the slave, go frighten the slave; Tell tyrants, to you, their allegiance they owe. No fears for the brave; no fears for the brave."

The first bust for which M. Béranger has ever consented to sit is just completed; and is said by our French neighbors to be a happy likeness of the veteran chansonnier. It has a further interest as being the work of a very young Lady, Mdlle. Devasme, daughter of an artist connected with the Theatre Français.

NATHAN HALE-A BALLAD.

[From "Songs and Ballads of the Revolutions," collected and edited by Frank Moore, in the press of Messrs. D. Appleton & Co.]

The breezes went steadily thro' the tall pines,

A saying "oh! hu-ush!" a saying "oh! hu-ush!" As stilly stole by a bold legion of horse,

For Hale in the bush, for Hale in the bush.

This fines the sort of capacity he has exhibited as politimot, related by the minstrel himself, accurately decian and as minister. He has not governed: he has sung-Sir N. Hall.

NOTES AND QUERIES.

In the "History and Poetry of Finger Rings," by Charles Edwards, we find a most interesting account of the virtues anciently supposed to belong to precious stones, from which we extract the following:

"A species of ruby, called Balassius, or Palatius,* is said to restrain fury and wrath. There is a story of this stone by Eliant Heraclis had eured the fractured thigh of a stork. The creature flying in a dark night by a palace where one of these stones lay flaming like a lamp, took it up and brought it to Heraclis and cast it into her bosom, as a token of the acknowledgment of the favor which it had received from her in the cure of its harm. Andreas Baccius, speaking of a rubine of his inclosed in a ring, says that on the fifth of December, 1600, he was travelling with his wife Catharina Adelmania to Studgard, and, in his travel, he observed his rubine to change its glory into obscurity, whereup: on he told his wife and prognosticated that evil thereupon would ensue either to himself or her, which accordingly did; for, not many days after, his wife was taken ill with a mortal disease and died. After which, he saith, his rubine, of its own accord, did again recover its former lustre, glory, beauty and splendor. A perfectly pure deep carmine-red ruby often exceeds in price a diamond of the same size. It has been written, that, if the carbuncle be worn in an amulet (or drunk) it will be good against poison and the plague, and will drive away sadness, evil thoughts, terrible dreams and evil spirits; also that it cleareth the mind and keepeth the body in safety, and that if any danger be towards it, the stone will grow black and obscure, and that being past, returns to its former color again."§

*This name occurs among the ancients, because it is the mother-dwelling or the palace, as it was said, in which the carbuncle or true ruby is produced and Lib. viii. de Hist. Animal. Kobell. Nicols' Lapidary, 56-7.

young,

In a nest by the road; in a nest by the road. "For the tyrants are near, and with them appear,

What bodes us no good, what bodes us no good." The brave captain heard it, and thought of his home, In a cot by the brook; in a cot by the brook. With mother and sister and memories dear, He so gaily forsook; he so gaily forsook. Cooling shades of the night were coming apace, The tattoo had beat; the tattoo had beat. The noble one sprang from his dark lurking place, To make his retreat; to make his retreat.

He warily trod on the dry rustling leaves, As he pass'd thro' the wood; as he pass'd thro' the wood;

And silently gain'd his rude launch on the shore, As she play'd with the flood; as she play'd with the food.

The guards of the camp, on that dark, dreary night,
Had a murderous will; had a murderous will.
They took him and bore him afar from the shore,
To a hut on the hill; to a hut on the hill.

No mother was there, nor a friend who could cheer,
In that little stone cell; in that little stone cell.
But he trusted in love, from his father above.
In his heart, all was well; in his heart, all was well.

EDITOR CRITERION,-Allow me to protest against the very general use of the word good in what I conceive is a very perverted sense. Good is employed by all classes of writers, good bad, and indifferent, as expressive of quantity; and we have the word used in relations such as these: A good many pickpockets and scoundrels;" "a good deal of yellow fever;" a good deal of misery." Both of which last deals are bad, and entitle us to a new shuffle. JACK OF CLUBS.

MESSRS. EDITORS,-I do not know if Jobn P-- has taken up the cudgels on his own behalf, but it seems to me, that "Eta" is one of those, whose minds lose their balance, whenever there is found the possibility of introducing a happy quotation. This must be so, or how could one, who is familiar with Carus, and Humboldt, and reads their works to so much purpose, have overlooked the obvious fact, which adds completeness to the excellent definition he has supplied; viz. that "nature," is from the Latin verb "nascor : " fut. part. naturus, about to be born; what could more aptly express the endless procession of nature, a procession so endless, that the Phenomenal never remains the same.

"Natures mighty law, is change."

A plant is an apt illustration; when is it at its culminating point? No naturalist has yet decided. The whole energy of the plant, is expended on the perfecting of its seed; at what

stage of the progress is the highest attained? When the seed is perfected! Alas! the parent has been sacrificed for the child; where we look for the crowning glory of life, we find but the withered shroud of death. The seed repeats the same progression, ex uno, disce omnes. Is not then, the conditioned "all,” well and most significantly named "Nature.-" Oh Romeo, Romeo, wherefore art thou Romeo?" I cannot tell, because my name is an arbitrary appellation. "Oh Nature, Nature, wherefore art thou Nature?" 66 Why, my dear Eta, because my name expresses my nature."

Yours truly,

commanding a fine view of the River, and affording the advantages of quiet retirement, together with a convenient access to Steamboat and Railroad, as any other School in the village.

The course of Instruction will comprise all the Branches usually taught at our best Academies; and as an assurance of Mr. O'R's. determination to establish a really good School, he has abolished all extra charges for Ancient or Modern Languages, so that French, that passport in all civilized countries on the Globe, will. as far as practicable, be the language of the School, and no longer subject to the usual exorbitant charge, thus presenting facilities for improvement seldom offered, even by Institutions supported by the State.

Latin and Greek will be taught by the Principal himself, and to those who know him "Verbum Sat." To gentlemen, strangers to him, he may say, that an experience of ten years in fitting young gents for college (and usually with much success), ought to entitle him to their patronage.

The Mathematics are under the charge of a gentleman eminently qualified to train the mind of youth in analyzing the principles and unfolding the laws of science.

The general studies, including Definitions, Geography, History, English Grammar, Natural Philosophy, Chemistry, &c., together with Reading, Elocution and Penmanship, will be attended to by the Principal himself, who confesses himself "Utilitarian" enough to oppose a student's throwing away his time under some distinguished German Strakosch, or French dancing master, before he becomes familiar with the rudiments of a common education.

As his present house is small, though convenient, Mr. O'Reilly would not receive more than Fifteen Boarders into his family, and the whole number of the School at no time should exceed Twenty-five-a number which, although small, would yet allow him to pursue his usually successful course of matching boys of nearly equal attainments against each other, and thus producing an emulation in his classes which has always been attended with success.

As Mr. O'R. is, and has always been, a practical Teacher, he will not pretend to debit any plausible theories on Education, perfectly convinced that the only air line to knowledge consists in the discipline, energy and skill of the Teacher, combined with the most implicit confidence, and untiring industry of the Student,

The following is the regular routine of studies, in their order of recitation, at Mr. O'R's. School:-Definitions, Reading, Writing, Arithmetic, both oral and written; Algebra, English Grammar, Parker's Natural Philosophy, Latin and Greek, Geography, History of the United States, History of Middle Ages (Greene's), French, almost entirely oral (Ollendorff's method); Spanish (Ollendorff's method), Constitution of the United States' Geometry (Playfair's), Physiology, (Cutter's).
