fore they first present their works to the public. There is tolerable drawing, tolerable colour, tolerable composition, tolerable expression;-in short no intolerable fault is to be detected. But the Artist who produces this, is still on the very threshold of art. It is here that genius, which cannot be taught, begins; and if he can do no more than this, he would be a thousand times more valuable member of society as a mechanic or tradesman than as an artist. Painting, as well as Poetry, abhors medioerity; and unless the celestial inspiration accompanies the labours of study, Mr. F. happily advised a relinquishment of the unprofitable pursuit.

Of the other points which we ascertained among the Lecturer's shoodgements (judgments), pongdillios (punctilios), taashtes (tastes) &c. we were pleased with a good epigrammatic definition of style and manner-style ascends to the heights of nature, and appropriates all objects to itself; manner deteriorates every thing, to bring it within its own compass.

We have seen pictures of more scientific arrangement, of more concentrated effect and repose, from the hand of this admirable artist, but none with more complete expression and character. The principal persons in this little drama of art are perfect; so much so as to produce a desire in the mind of the beholder to follow them into after-life, and to anticipate, from the disdain and coquetry so exquisitely depicted in the countenance of Maggie, and the disappointment swelling into anger in that of her lover, that their marriage state will be chequered by a few storms, at least (for we are amiable critics) will not be allowed to stagnate. Of the damsel we may say that expression is carried to her very fingers ends; and that Duncan clenches his hat in a way, which, without seeing his face, would teach us to divine what his feelings were. The kindly persuasive attitudes and looks of the father and mother are also charmingly given; and the rustic enjoyment of the joke, of which we catch a glimpse at the half-open door, adds humour to the scene, while it tells that

Miss S. exerts herself, and is a tolerable melo-dramatic attitudinarian ; but the feeling of the original Ellen is not in her. Her sorrows are querulous: her anguish is acted. The consequence is, that the audience are humanely spared all the interest, grief, and agitation which was produced by the Falls of Clyde on its earlier representations. Their eyes are as dry as the canvas waterfalls.

The piece was deservedly hissed; the authors, who were probably accustomed to such receptions, would fain have regarded this failure as a successful representation. The curtain was drawn up; but Lepeintre, who performed the part of the Obligeant, with a degree of talent worthy of a better fate and a better piece, supported his character by concealing the names of the authors.

Mrs. Glossop, originally Miss Feron, whom our play-bills gallantly called the English Catalani when she made her debut in London, is now performing at Paris. The following notice of her is from a French critic:

FOREIGN DRAMA.

THEATRE FRANCAIS.

First representation of La Reconciliation par ruse, a comedy in one act.

At the period when the imitators of the author of La Surprise de l'Amour, Les fausses Confidences, &c. were busy in getting up farces, this piece would probably have been successful. It possesses all the good qualities, and is exempt from many of the defects of Dorat's Bluettes. But the rage for such productions is at an end.

The jealous disposition of Senanges has produced a quarrel between him and his cousin, Madame de Valcour, a young and beautiful widow, whom he adores, and by whom he is in his turn beloved. Charles de —— undertakes to bring about a reconciliation between them: this design does more honour to his friendship, than the stratagem he invents does to his ingenuity. But his zeal is not entirely disinterested, for Madame de Valcour, in her hatred of mankind, has sworn to make him wait until her younger sister, to whom he is attached, shall come of age. Charles dispatches a letter to Senanges, informing him, that all his creditors have been paid, by a hand as discreet as generous. Senanges questions Madame de Valcour's maid, and is at length sufficiently convinced, that his fair cousin is his benefactress. Gratitude is now combined with love; he abjures jealousy, and

THEATRE DES VARIETES.

First representation of l'Obligeant.
The passion for being serviceable is the
weakness of a good heart, the awkward
movement of a kind disposition, which is
not guided by discernment. Would to
Heaven that Comedy had no other folly to
satirize! She can, however, avail herself of
this philanthropic mania, only in proportion
as its effects present an amusing contrast
to its cause.

The authors of the Obligeant have
spoiled several good scenes in M. Dela-
salle's piece. His Officieux maladroit at least
possessed the merit of containing a few
comic scenes. The Obligeant, on the con-
trary, presents the irremediable defect of
developing a mistaken idea in a tedious
way. The small portion of wit that was
scattered through the piece, was ill placed,
and therefore could not justly be termed
wit.

Trivial dialogues, and heroic couplets, which seemed to fall from the clouds, but were destined to grovel on the earth, formed a string of unconnected extravagance: glory, victory, warriors, laurels, success, French men; these magical words were uttered without effect, which can never be the case when they are properly applied: but they

sings in tune, and is upon the whole a valuable acquisition to the Opera Buffa. We must, however, hear her in some classic work before we can pass a decided opinion on her merit.

DIGEST OF POLITICS AND

NEWS.

On the night between the 10th and 11th, an attempt was made to assassinate the Duke of Wellington, as he entered the gate of his hotel, in Paris. The villain, who had concealed himself near the place, rushed out as his Grace's carriage approached, and fired at him, thank Providence, ineffectually. then made his escape, and it does not appear that any clue has been obtained to trace him to his lair. The political journals have mounted an argument on this diabolical act, and eagerly discuss the question, whether the attempt was the result of public or private vengeance, or was made by a foreigner or a Frenchman. As we cannot solve these doubts, we shall not canvass them: one thing is certain, that the atrocity being committed in France, ought to stimulate every Frenchman to clear away the stain, by detecting and

bringing the murderer to justice. There
is some strange talk of a warning letter
from Brussels, written by Lord Kin-
naird to the Duke of Wellington.
Our Parliament continues to be prin-
eipally occupied with the petitions of the
persons who were imprisoned under the
Habeas Corpus Suspension Act. We
are sorry that it is not more profitably
employed.

In France, the chief feature of news is the trial of Bruneau, the pretended Dauphin, at Rouen. He acts the king still, and is quite furious at being brought to the bar as an impostor.

A son has been born at Madrid to the Infant Don Carlos, the King's brother. A compromise between the Cabinets of Spain and Portugal, respecting the settlements on the Rio Plata, has, it is stated, been agreed upon through the intervention of the Allied Powers.
