" was probably the question on the mind of many of us . She did not finish her sentence , and Margaret relieved her by merging the particular in the general question . " The world , " she remarked , " does not seem to find it easy to act , \ even provisionally , on the advice of its savans and Boards of Health , I moral or physical . " " Besides , " added Markham , " you will confess , Edwardes , that the rule which you would construct , even with your calmest judgment , would not bring under governance all that moves us and stirs society to its very heart . " " You might as well , " said Stanhope , " appoint an occasion for our anger , or prescribe a measure glass for the amount of our tears . " "Is there any instance , " asked Con way , " of teaching domestication without a real abstraction of the vis vitce ? Artificial plants revert to their stock , or perish . " ' " It is a packed jury , " exclaimed Edwardes ; " I shall appeal to the judge . Tell them , Margaret , that I have proved my case . "

      THE NEW-MANAGEMENT AT THE MARYLEBONE . ( From a Correspondent . ) This Theatre was reopened on Monday last , under the management of Mr . J . William Wallack , who has collected a respectable company . " A Cure for the Heartache" is not the liveliest nor the most original of pieces , but being stuffed full of British sentiment , a proper contempt for riches acquired in trade , and a noble leaning towards ruined baronets and brokendown farmers unable to pay their rent , it was received with enthusiasm . II . Vandenhoff , whom many will , remember as a well-dressed stick some _ few years ago at the llaytnarket , has undergone a course of instruction before provincial audiences , and returned to London " a wiser ai > d a stouter man . " He played Young Rapid admirably ; Charles Mathewa himself could scarcely have given the chai-cicter with ' more verve and vivacit 3 > -. G . Cooke was very much more in his element as Old Rapid the tailor , than in certain aristocratic parts he has lately been playing at the Olympic ; Shalders was clever as-Frank Oatland—but why will he keep up ' the old conventionality of weeping when his sister is in trouble ? I've seen many a rustic in difficulties , but never yet saw " their manly cheek furrowed by a tear , " as a legitimate writer would say . Planche " s * ' Fair One with the Golden Lodes " followed , and was very fairly acted . The Marylebone audience is not as appreciative as that of the Lyceum , and jokes anent the Singing Mouse and Jim Crow may , perhaps , be out of date , but the dresses were good and the parodies sufficiently

      catching to conquer encores . Miss Gordon played with enough of assurance and chic . Miss Garthwaite looked pretty and sung prettily , and- ; Mr . Shalders , not knowing much of the author ' s language , substituted many . words , and more grimaces of his own , which perhaps told better with the gallery . The house was full and the audience quiet ; this , however , is to be attributed to the respectable appearance of the dress circle , as the pit and gallery were more appalled by the sight of white waistcoats and dress coats ' than by the truncheons of the policemen distributed throughout the theatre .

      SMITH , ON EUEOPE . Kvoyageur , who has covered tfiirty thousand square feet of canvass with a panoramic " Tour of Europe , " in general , and " Ascent of Mont Blanc , " in particular ; who may , with some significance , be said to rejoice in the name I of Smith ; and who , while describing his work , occasionally mentions " another Mr . Smith , " in a by-the-bye tone of accidental recollection , and with a magnificent air of approval—such a man as this cannot be suffered to pass by us like the idle wind which we regard not . It is , indeed , the man rather than the painter , who in this instance has engaged our attention . His panorama is not astonishing ; the thirty thousand square feet are the squarest we remember ever to have seen ; there is not a touch of air or space , positively not one truthful effect to relieve the dry monotony of the " views "—which , by-the-way , are nearly all taken from points of sight , curiously coinciding with the views of Turner , Stanfield , and other artists familiar to the public through engravings . With respect to this circumstance we will merely say , that a suspicious observer might couple with it the fact that each scene , instead of being a natural continuation of the one preceding it , begins and ends abruptly , just as if the separate contents of a portfolio had been placed edge to edge and magnified . Mr . Smith has embellished a descriptive book , which is a much more entertaining performance than the panorama .- They are both dedicated ( that is , the sixpenny book and the thirty thousand square feet of canvas ) to somebody , Esquire , of America . What this book discloses to us—how we learn that the French Republic never was anything but a military aristocracy , that St . Cloud is pro-¦ J 7 Ctj . /" 11 _ _ x"l J . 1 ^> 1 J . 1 ¦ — — - "I _ . *? ¦ . ¦ . . . ' J i 1 . H i -1 ¦ ¦ Liiau vuueiis miiiu

      at . We must make room , however , for one delicious bit , on the subject of Venice , " where Othello dwelt—where Jaffier and Pierre conspired- — and where Shylock wanted the pound of flesh . '' Here is the passage , typography and all , exactly as we found it . Venice—" like Venus—from the sea she x-ose upon foundations that have stood unscathed by wind and wave for centuries ; her long line of dwellings , of stately palaces and churches , whose architectural richness , by Palladio ' s skill , " have served as models to an admiring world ; and the painter ' s art , on her vast walls—' twas Titian and Tintoretto ' s hands , the gorgeous gilded ceilings , carved with boldest skill , and polished floors , that would be marble from their hardness and their variegated beauty , and yet are not . A city , once the soul of gaiety and the seat of commerce—both are gone ! The Gondolier and his black barge seems of their ancient customs , all that is left , and he sings not as of yore , but silent and still as the canal , through which he swiftly urges on his course—there is a solemn grandeur in the scene—a melancholy softness ; no rattling sound , no busy hum is heard ; horses there never were in Venice , save the bronze horses of St . Marc : many never saw a horse but those . It is a city , unlike all others , whose history has been a scene of rude broils and fierce contention—dark , bloody , deeds ; tho prisons adjoin their palaces , where tyrants could give the word and . slaves would execute —a Council of Ten—tho tribunal of the infernal Inquisition—the rack and torture ? Such was the Republic of Venice—the democracy of the fifteenth century . O Liberty ! how hast tliou been abused—how been betrayed by this winged lion of St . Marc . '' " q
