PICTURES. THE admirers of painting may at present gratify their tastes by visiting Mr. Cock, bookseller in Fleet Street, where several good pictures from Florence are at present to be seen. A Prometheus ascribed to Salvator Rosa, but certainly a grand academic composition, stands at the head of the collection. Ballad-singers, said to be by the same master, are only (in our judgment) to be spoken of as clever in their way. Two sweet landscapes are without a name, but not without beauty; and with a capital specimen of Zucherelli, are well worth inspection. There are two fine pieces of still life; and a Bacchante by Furino of considerable merit. A small Holy Family on copper, in the style of Parmegiano; an Annunciation, by Carlo Maratti; and a Geometrician, very carefully and skilfully done in the school of Flemish art, complete the catalogue-and we simply mention them, because having derived much pleasure in seeing them ourselves, we wish our readers to know where they can enjoy a like gratification. ORIGINAL POETRY. THE SPIRIT OF DREAMS. SPIRIT of the midnight dream, O'er that sleep what wilt thou fling? Down and odours wooed my stay ; Reached I next a lonely tower, Pale, like him, a lamp burnt there, While its master past the hour O'er his scroll of learned care. Marvelled I that he should spend Thus the hours of my sweet reign; When his labours find their end, He will find, too, they were vain. Tears were in the soft dark eyes Where I once had loved to rest; Love had banished me, and sighs Told he was less quiet guest. But I bade her eyelids close 'Neath a sweet dream's gentle sway,— False, but yet less false than those Which the maiden dreamed by day. I have seen the iron brow Grow yet darker in its rest; I have entered the drear cell, Where the pallid murderer past I have looked on craft and crime Haunting the blue hyacinth bell, Where the falling dew-drops dwell. THE SISTERS. I SAW them when their bud of life Before a cloud of care or strife Had burst above their natal bower, Ere this world's blight had marred a grace Now 'neath the gloom of willows hiding, I see them as I saw them then, With careless brows and laughing eyes; With all their infant witcheries,-- May Fancy with such dreams be fed ; Before their leaves had time to spread,- And smote them, in his love, together: ALARIC A. WATTS. MUSIC. NEW PUBLICATIONS. The Pretty Flower Girl. By Signor de Begnis. T. Boosey and Co. THIS, like the first-mentioned piece (the words being also by the same gentleman), is a pretty air, and especially for Madame Vestris to sing. Quartett from Winter's Opera Das Unterbrochene Opferest; arranged, with Variations, &c. by G. F. Harris. T. Boosey and Co. THIS fine quartett, from the Interrupted Sacrifice, is too well known to require much notice. We have only to say that we like the arrangement, and that for young players it will be found at once an easy and a delightful exercise. Six Italian Duettinos da Camera. By Signor Maestro Coccia. Two Books. T. Boosey and Co. THESE are all good; but in Book I. the second duettino in the minor key pleases us most; though we are not sure that the third is not likely to be more popular. In Book II. also, the compositions are pretty and graceful; and a serenade, in particular, extremely pleasing. The publication altogether deserves the attention of those who sing Italian, and do not wish to display too much of the scientific in their performances. DRAMA. KING'S THEATRE.

On Shrove Tuesday the population of Paris poured out in masks upon the boulevards, and into the suburbs, and spent the whole night in dancing and feasting, in the cafés, or in the open air. "In spite of modern Heraclituses," says a writer in a French journal which gives a long account of these various amusements, "we are always merry in France, and we will long continue to be so." We confess that we wish the principles of free trade would extend to the importation into England of a little of the French gaiété de cœur. We would willingly exchange a portion of our gravity for it. The following piece of impious profanation is absolutely printed in a French newspaper, published in London last Saturday:Question.

The results likely to follow from determining the facility of such an operation are very important. Mr. Keates, Mr. Earle, Professor Pattison, Dr. A. T. Thomson, and Mr. Wade, apothecary of the Westminster dispensary, assisted and were witnesses of the operation. Chocolate.

In the year 1684, a physician at Paris of the name of Bachot, maintained before the faculty a thesis, in which he declared," that well-made chocolate was so noble an invention, that the gods ought to prefer it to nectar and ambrosia."

This might have seemed scarcely possible, yet cannot be denied; and while it may be considered excusable that the veil should not yet have been drawn, and selections made from the multifarious stores that exist in Sweden, Denmark, Poland, Russia, and Holland, yet the truth is not to be looked on with so much indifference, that, judging by our London importations, and the notices, such as they are, given in our existing periodicals, it would be concluded, that in the once Hesperian lands of Italy and Spain, "There are few qualities of mind necessary for the novelist which the author of the Wolfe' does not possess in considerable perfection.

Under these circumstances, the Editors of this new Journal have the satisfaction to state, that by means of their correspondents abroad, and the exertions of their Publishers, they have established modes of communication by which all the best novelported, to an extent and with a degree of regularity hitherto unexampled in England. In profiting by the materials thus obtained, their leading object will be to afford a fair and equitable view of productions likely to interest a British reader, and which have hitherto been unjustly neglected, or misrepresented by hasty and prejudiced critics. At the same time, it is obvious that older sources must not be left unnoticed; and, by the way, it should be here intimated, that a share of their First Number may perhaps be retrospective: not only the inevitable delays of importation, but the necessity for a principle of rigid selection in the choice of works to be reviewed, rendering this advisable.

Extracts and Abridginents will be made from the Transactions of Literary and Scientific Societies, and, if possible, room afforded for separate Translations and Original Essays, such as may harmonise with the primary and leading purposes of the work.
