we may mention that we heard, a few weeks since, of a traveller of the name of Gordon, who had reached Calcutta after having traversed the vast portion of the globe from the Russian frontier over the whole table-land of Asia. If we are correctly informed, this is is the most extraordinary journey of our times. THE DRAMA. We shall perhaps gain no credit with our more sedate and learned readers, for compressing, as we mean to do, our dramatic criticisms for the week, within a very narrow compass. When it is considered that this is the season of Punch and Pantomime, and that all the recondite science of Friar Bacon, and glorious spirit of our Arctic adventurers, have been brought into visible The new Tragedy of Mirandola, will, we hear, be fully rehearsed, by next Saturday.

English Opera House.-A new species of entertainment has been produced here: we have not been able to see it yet, but learn from a critical friend, that it is a better kind of puppet-show. Actors and actresses amuse themselves (if not the audience) behind a transparent curtain: there is some singing, plenty of puns, and other rational entertainments! The Minor Theatres have burst into new activity. The Surrey, clever as usual; the Olympic, amusing; the Cobourg, so-so; the Adelphi, tolerable.

I say nothing of the power which these favoured individuals enjoy, of marking the exact moment at which the buskined hero, retiring from the scene, relapses into the man; when his measured pace, sustained for a proper distance in his retreat from the stage, gives way to the strut of meaner mortals; and his heroic action, we are sure that more than a brief length of face is exchanged for a hearty sketch would be expected from a scientific To the Editor of the Literary Gazette. laugh, on receiving the congratulations of his journal, and one which has so largely dwelt Sir,-If the following remarks, on one or brother actors.

The copperplate engraving which faces the title page of a small edition of Cornelius Nepos, published at Amsterdam, 1783, represents on one side our Saviour on the Cross; and on the other, a figure of the author, from whose mouth a label appears to issue forth, bearing the following inscription: "Lord Jesus, lovest thou me?" which is answered by another label affixed to the mouth of the person addressed, with "Highly famed, excellent, and most learned Rector Seger, imperial poet, and well deserving master of the school at Wittenberg; yes, thou knowest that I love thee." !!!
