Dampier, however, was an exception; to his auntless courage and daring intrepidity alone he owed ne superiority he obtained among them. He was roughout humane, generous, just, and compassionate, far as his profession would admit of the exercise of ese qualities. Indeed, had it not been that the texture f his life was woven on the principle of the "good old ale,” as Wordsworth calls it, of " taking when one hath he power,” Dampier would have been entitled to the pithet of virtuous. !ston af para We regret that we are obliged to close this volume; at we can assure our readers, that a perusal of its pages ill amply, repay them. fan bah The Continental Annual and Romantic Cabinet, for 1832.

London: Smith, Elder, and Co. but unfinished; "Early Impressions," one of the thousand and one sentimental Polish tales, for which Miss Porter must be held responsible; "The Spy," a translation from Hoffman; "The Vintner's Daughter," a fine broad picture of the homely, hearty burghers of the old free-towns of the German empire, with a slight admixture of modern lack-a-daisical sentiment; "The Prima Donna" evinces a fine feeling of art; "The Siege of Prague," is a most unsatisfactory excerpt from Pichler's "Waldstein; "The Conscript"-good; "The Rose of Rouen," best of all.-As a specimen of the work, we subjoin the Finale of "The Prima Donna." Romanelli, a tenor-singer of high talents, but dissolute habits, had married an equally gifted countrywoman, whom he endeavoured to make away with. Chance brings him, after many years, into contact with the woman he left to perish, and it so happens that their common child is to perform Elvira to Romanelli's Don Giovanni. The result is thus narrated : "Brava! Bravissima! re-echoed through the house when Donna Elvira had sung her first solo-Ah chi mi dice mai-with exquisite taste and feeling. Camilla was too youthful and lovely to look the part of the forsaken Donna, but in the more energetic scenes her dignity of mien and person, and the indignant flash which blazed out of her magnificent black eyes were so imposing, that Romanelli, who had been visibly and greatly startled, when she appeared, at her extraordinary resemblance to his first wife, could not regain entire self-possession until the commencement of the finale in the first act. AL though some years beyond fifty, his appearance, by arti ficial light, was still sufficiently youthful for the part of Don Juan, and the rich costume of the magnificent Spaniard relieved his fine, but, to my vision, languid features, and displayed advantageously his still imposing and graceful person.

After all, owever, we are by no means certain that his most accessful effort is not his view of the city and bridge of Dresden. There is the Catholic chapel, adorned by Meng's greatest work, where Weber used to direct the horal symphonies,-there the Lieb-Frauen-Kirche, the educed image of St Peter's, there the Palace of Brühl, aost splendid and vain-glorious of ministers, there the ridge along which Napoleon marched to the last battlefeld which was not forced upon him by stern necessity. The tales are of varying merit. "The Fanatic" is a old sketch of a restless leader, and instigator, of the Iconoclasts of Belgium; "The Wax Figure," an attempt, scarcely equal in merit, to reconcile the horrors of the story of a young man who married a reanimated victim of the guillotine, with a happy termination and a natural conclusion; "The College of Koswara," a wild and dazzling Hungarian legend-from the German, if our memory deceives us not; "The Black Gate of Treves," powerful once so entirely loved, I had forborne to look at her. At the pathetic passage, however, of Lascia, o cara! la rimembranza amara, in the heart-rending duet between Ottavio and Donna Anna, after her father's death, by the sword of Don Juan, I heard behind me a sigh so deep and emphatic that I involuntarily looked round, and, through the partially open veil of Valeria, I saw her expressive eyes fixed, with compassionate interest, upon the lovely and innocent features of the blue-eyed Austrian, who, doubtless, thought herself the only wife of the admired and graceful Gua- -a. "From time to time, as the plot was developed, I ventured to address some critical remarks to my companion; but she seemed almost unconscious of my presence, and her replies were so little apposite, or coherent, that I ceased to interrupt her. Soon, however, I observed, from the sudden movement of her drapery, that she started when Don Juan began to address the silly, Zerlina, with the seductive line of La ci darem la mano-in that highly dramatic duet. Turning round again, as if to speak to her, I saw her pallid cheeks suddenly suffused with the dark red hue of intense emotion, and as suddenly resume their wonted paleness. Her eyes, too, were now intently fixed upon the stage, and fraught with a meaning which I was anxious but unable to interpret. Their large full orbs, always dark and radiant, appeared to me to become darker as she gazed with a startling fixedness of look upon the gay and guilty Don Juan. At the close of the duet, I saw that her fine forehead was gathered into broad lines, and her firmly compressed lips gave an air of masculine decision to her striking features. Suddenly she arose from the bench, and without a word or look of explanation, quitted the box; leaving me in a state of perplexity, not unmingled with alarm, when I thought of the peculiar expression of her countenance, and recollected that the dark eyes of the southern Italians deepen with their wrath. I was not acquainted with the secret recesses of Valeria's character-I knew her to possess fortitude and energy above her sex, and in Italy these attributes are often accompanied by a proud, and, under strong provocation, a vindictive spirit. "Wearied at length with conjectures, I fixed my attention upon the opera, and especially upon Romanelli, who now appeared to me under the influence of some potent cordial, so suddenly did he throw off the languor and debility occasioned by his wound, and his terror at the remarkable features and dramatic energies of Camilla. When the finale of the first act began, he entered fully into the spirit of his character, and played the gay and heartless libertine to the life. And now began the delightful terzetto of the three masks, Ottavio, Donna Anna, and Donna Elvira. No one appeared to find any difference between the Elvira who then appeared, and the one who had preceded her ;-but to me the distinction was instantaneously perceptible. The ample drapery and the mask could not conceal from me the loftier stature, and the deeper, richer voice of Camilla's mother. A light flashed upon me, and my quickened pulses told me that some strange collision was at hand. "The three masks retired, the scene rose, and displayed a numerous assemblage preparing for the festive dance. "The light streamed from abundant tapers; menials, in gay apparel, were dispensing copious refreshments; Don Juan was the master of these rustic revels; and the universal joy was unrestrained. Romanelli had regained his wonted energy and animation. He appeared even to revel in a part which was, indeed, the reflex of his own character and habits. With all the fire and vigour of five-and-twenty, he bounded through the dance, and sought to animate and blind his guests, while he again endeavoured to decoy into his snare the giddy Zerlitia. At length he succeeds in separating her from her friends and lover; not, however, unobserved by the jealous Masetto, whose fury excites his friends to assist him in the pursuit of Zerlina, and their treacherous host is followed and discovered by the enraged peasants. With ready wit the reckless master drags forth Leporello, and threatens him with instant death, for having carried off the peasant maiden. But at this moment the three masked figures enter, and, with menacing gestures, interfere to save the unfortunate valet. And now Donna Elvira advances before the others, uttering, in tones of thrilling emphasis and power, the fearful denunciation L'empio erede con tal frode di nasconder l'impietà!' "Her mask falls, and Romanelli, who had started with terror at the peculiar and well-remembered tones of Valeria, uttered a scream, or rather yell of horror, when he encountered the riveted gaze and bloodless features of one risen from the dead-of one whom he had for twenty years thought buried beneath the everlasting snows of the Pyrenees, and who now suddenly appeared, to menace him with the awful punishment due to his long career of crime, "Exhausted by dramatic efforts far beyond his strength, he shrunk appalled beneath the witheringand, to his fevered fancy, unearthly-gaze of the pallid image before him. He seemed himself to have become a statue, so fixed his attitude, so wax-like and inanimate his look. At length, perplexed almost to madness doubting, and yet dreading the evidence of his senses-a sudden faintness came over him, and he grasped, with frantic clutch, a table near him for support; but it was too late for earthly aid. His pale features became suddenly darkened with a rushing tide of blood; the veins of his throat and temples started into sharp relief; he staggered, and fell upon the stage-a corpse. "The performers, who had gazed upon him and the unknown actress with breathless astonishment, now creamed with horror. The whole audience arose in tumult and dismay; the curtain fell; and the finale of the first act was the end of Romanelli, and the end of the opera." elegant and pleasing volume, we must confess that KenMuch, however, as we have been delighted with this nedy seems to us to be trifling time.

Last week we bad au overflow of the productions of the Theologian and Lawyer--the Medical Faculty takes its revenge on the present occasion. First, however, wo dispatch the solitary treatise on spiritual lore that has reached us if, indeed, we may gravely bestow that title upon such an inconsequential piece of trifling. The author of this work is a modest man. in his Preface." The class of evidence for the truth of revelation, unfolded in the sequel, appears to me more striking and novel than many others, and it is because I think it has either been too much neglected, or but too partially insisted on, that I have selected it.” Fartber, « The ground of evidence I have now ventured to occupy, seems to be of a kind equally conclusive and satisfactory;" and The evidence has been most satisfactory to my own mind, and I most devoutly hope it may be found equally so to others. It appears to me at least almost incontrovertible, and of such a nature as to impel conviction, and will, doubtless, yield satisfaction where the mind is honest and docile. Unfortunately, some minds are not docile,”: &C.--which, of course, closes the mouth of every antagonist. We join the author in his good opinion of Mr Keith's book on the Prophecies, and wish he had condescended to imitate that person's straightforward good sense. We should have thought a popular work, containing popular facts, for the information and satisfaction of ordinary readers, more useful than a vague reasoning on matters which cannot be explained, and bad better be let alone. If such books as the latter are to be written, they are for such pens as those of Campbell and Reid ; while the former description applies better to the faculties of Mr Keith, or the author of this volume. We believe, most implicitly, that the Deity (as we are told in Scripture) made light shine on the earth on the fourth day after its creation, without seeking to penetrate the modus operandi ; nor is our belief at all increased by our author's elaborate reasoning, why it sbould not have appeared at the creation. **Hitherto the firma He says " Along the street there came a child, Half naked, and sooty, and weeping wild : Why do ye weep, my little dear?' The chimney stack she cried with fear : * The chimney stack, the floor fell through, And has killd my mother and baby too !' ** Trifles are these ! a hoarse voice cried " Terrible Wind! oh, who could deen, ment had not been circumfused around the globe, nor had the separation of the waters taken place; and the earth must have been enveloped in a dense shroud of vapour, which the solar ray could not pierce," &c. The author very strongly reprobates the use of ridicule in discussing the subject he has chosen. Under these circumstances, we are surprised to find him making attempts at the practice himself, but we cannot say he has improved on the instructions of his adversaries. We could point out many fanciful and far-fetched theories in this booksuch as the presumption, that the vitrified forts of Scotland are the remains of Druidical altars, melted by the force of the fires used in them; but our limits will not permit us. On the whole, let us remark, that the work contains as much reading and information as we think we have ever met with in so short a compass, with as little thought or ratiocination to render them available as can well be imagined. Next comes Dr Macaulay's Medical Dictionary, which must be good, if there be faith in second editions. We \ confess, however, that we thoroughly despise, loathe, hate, and abhor, all dictionaries of law and medicine,— all books that smell of "every man his own lawyer," and every man his own doctor." The former make people crossgrained and litigious, bad neighbours, and worse family men; the latter transform them into old wives creatures who sit in July over a fire, wrapt in flannels, He recommends his new shower-bath, by informing us that ablutions were strictly enjoined by the Mosaic law. He next proceeds to enlighten our wondering ignorane, by telling us that "Melampus bathing the daughter of the King of Argos, may be supposed the first instance of the remedial application of cold bathing." And Medea caldron thought we, but casting our eye down the page, we find Mr Murray has forestalled us, deducing thence the invention of the warm bath. The thermo meter, it is true, had not then been invented, and s the old gentleman was boiled alive-but that's a trifie Does not every fool know that first experiments rarely succeed? He has omitted, however, to trace the shower bath to its inventor-the thrifty Highlander, who, when ever it began to rain, stripped to the buff, and walked with his clothes beneath his arm, that he might have dry suit afterwards. We were proceeding to discuss the merits of Mr Murray's invention, but he has again balker us:" In the machine I am about to describe, I tak for granted its superiority to other shower-baths."

But since our good friend James Kennedy began to "toot on his trumpet" he was the first, we think there has been one unintermitting crash of horns kept up, like that of children on " Pace Friday." Here is another which we can conscientiously recommend to the amateurs of such delicacies. Dr Young is a man of sense, and views the matter in its true light. Besides, his prescriptions are not so difficult to follow as those thrown by the refractory patient out of the window, being virtually to this effect:"Not to eat dainties unless you relish them, nor to drink unless you have a mind; not to sit down unless you prefer it to standing or walking, nor to rise unless you had rather not sit any longer; not to go to sleep unless you wish it, nor get up of a morning unless it suits your inclination; when you are in bed, to lie on one side unless you prefer turning."
