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,
What is now upon thy wing?
Earth sleeps in the moonlight beam;

O'er that sleep what wilt thou fling?
Many a vain and shadowy thought,
All of daylight's hope and fear,
Mind's strange workings, have I brought
On the sleeper's eye and ear.
There were some who prayed me give
Respite short from grief and pain;
Some few who but sought to live
Pleasure's fleeting hour again.
Past I o'er a purple tent,

Down and odours wooed my stay ;
But remorse and hate were sent-
Guards to banish me away.

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;
While the flushed cheek's angry glow
Told what lurked in the dark breast.

I have entered the drear cell,

Where the pallid murderer past
Hours whose anguish none may tell,
Yet clung to them as his last.

I have looked on craft and crime
In the hearts of youth and age:
O Night! thine's fearful time
Mine a weary pilgrimage!
Better love I sweet noontide,

Haunting the blue hyacinth bell,
Where the silver waters glide-

Where the falling dew-drops dwell.

THE SISTERS.
They grew together,
Like to a double cherry, seeming parted,
But yet an union in partition :
Two lovely berries moulded on one stem;
So with two seeming bodies but one heart.
Shakespeare.

I SAW them when their bud of life

Before a cloud of care or strife
Was slowly opening into flower,

Had burst above their natal bower,

Ere this world's blight had marred a grace
That mantled o'er each sparkling face.
What were they then? Two twinkling stars-
The youngest of an April sky-
Far, far from earth and earth-born jars,
Together shining peacefully,-
Now borrowing, now dispensing light,
Radiant as hope, and calm as bright!
What were they then? Two limpid streams
Through Life's green vale in beauty gliding,
Mingling like half-forgotten dreams;—

Now 'neath the gloom of willows hiding,
Now dancing o'er the turf away,
In playful waves and glittering spray.

I see them as I saw them then,

With careless brows and laughing eyes;
They flash upon my soul again

With all their infant witcheries,--
Two gladsome spirits, sent on earth
As envoys from the Muse of mirth!
Such Fancy's dreams-but never more

May Fancy with such dreams be fed ;
Those buds have withered to their core,

Before their leaves had time to spread,-
Those stars are fallen from on high-
Those twin bright streams for ever dry!
Whilst Spring was gladdening all the skies,
Mid blooming flowers and sunny weather,
Death came to them, in gentlest guise,

And smote them, in his love, together:
In concert thus they lived and died,
And still lie slumbering side by side.

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 Saturday (and again on Tuesday), Ricci-
ardo e Zoraide was the performance, and the
one star of the evening, Toso, as the heroine.
She was well received, and certainly merits all
the encouragement she has obtained in Eng-
land;
for though not yet a finished singer, she
possesses qualities which, being encouraged,
must raise her to a very high rank in her pro-
fession. Madame Brizzi made her début in
Zamira. She is an accomplished but not a
powerful singer; and will, probably, be heard
to greater advantage in less extensive places
than this large theatre. Curioni as Ricciardo
was excellent. Torri took Garcia's original
part, and Giubilei Porto's; but though toler-
ably well done, we cannot say that they sus-
tained them. It seems that dancers are now
to be suddenly affected with illnesses, just
like singers: Brocard had a hoarseness or
something of that sort in one of her legs,
and so the ballet was changed, to the utter
dismay of about four-fifths of the male fre-
quenters of the opera house, who know as
much of, and care as little for, music as if they
amends for want of ears) when the Calisthenic
were cows, but who are all eyes (to make

O Love! why not relieve the anguish of my
Breast? a song by Eugenius Roche, Esq., com-
posed by De Begnis; and presented to the
Melodists' Club, is a sweet bravura air (if
ever such words can be used together), and one
of the few such which have been produced in
English with success. It does great credit to
the talents of De Begnis. We believe that

It appears, however, Melodists' Club. It resembles in style those by the Report, that Mr. Vallance is about to simple and exquisite melodies which have made construct one of his cylinders, which is to extend the music of Scotland the delight of every ear from the city (London) to the East and Westand heart, charming alike the mere lover of India Docks, and which is to be employed in sweet sounds and the learned professor.

Extraordinary Surgical Operation.-On the 21st instant, a tumour weighing upwards of eight pounds, and in magnitude larger than the human head, was extracted entire from the abdomen of a woman, between thirty and forty years of age, by Dr. A. B. Granville. Notwithstanding the extent of the incision, nine inches in length, no bowel was permitted to protrude; and the quantity of blood lost did not exceed two ounces. 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."

"Independently of the interest which these Lives possess as works of pure biography, they derive a very considerable importasce from their historical character. The light which they throw upen a period described by Mr. Fox as one of the most singular and important of our history,' and the disclosures which they present of the court intrigues of that day, so difficult to be understood, even with all the illustrations which the researches of later times have produced, are perhaps greater than those to be derived from any other memoirs relating to the same period.

Rager North, enjoyed the most ample means of informing himself accurately upon all the topics of the day, not only from the station in society which he occupied himself, but from his intimate connexion with the Lord Keeper Guilford."-Editor's Preface.

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. In each Number, however, shall be inserted a Catalogue Raisonné of all the foreign novelties to which access has been gained through the preceding three months. 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.

pleasure in being enabled to add, that not only have they already
