sense as " Up , guards , and at them . " Trash and bad taste of this sort escape rebuke by being unworthy of it . We turn , with pleasure , from publications utterly worthless to a book conscientiously writtea and really likely to be of some use to the reader . This work forms the second volume of Messrs . Constable's Miscellany of Foreign Literature . It is called Athens and the Pelopennese , with Sketches of Northern Greece , and is translated from the German of Hermann Hettner . This new contribution to a promising Series is a very praiseworthy little book , earnestly and intelligently written . It contains several pleasant sketches of manners in modern Greece , and much useful antiquarian information , which is clearly and unaffectedly imparted to the reader .

A HEART OF GOLD . We shall be only doing common justice to Mr . Douglas Jerrold if we preface Our report of the production of A Heart of Gold at the Pro cess ' s Theatre , by intimating that the play has been presented to the public a . t an unfortunate tone , and under adverse dramatic circumstances . In the first place , all the popular sympathies are just now entirely absorbed , to the exclusion of every other interest , by the news from the " seat of war . " In . the second place , Mr . Jerrold ' s play , the merits of which rest exclusively on the novelty of the main idea , and the admirable wilting of the dialogue , has "been produced at a theatre where the au diences have been accustomed to the most breathlessly exciting dramatic stories , and the most lavish magnificence , of spectacle produced , m our time on the English stage . In the third place , A Heart of Gold , after having been written with special reference to actors and actresses of the first degree , has been performed by actors and . actresses of the second degree only . Miss Heath and Miss Murray , Mr . Ryder and Mr . Gathcart , who played the four principal parts , and who all conscientiously exerted themselves to do their best , can hardly asyet be said to have reached the highest rank in their profession ^ even in the estimation of their most partial admirers .
Produced under the disadvantages to which we have alluded , A-Heart of Gold has , we xegret to say , achieved only a moderate success . Arid yet the play is founded on an excellent and a new idea . Jolin byniond , wasted and heartbroken at the rejection of his suit by Maud JSTutbrown , who can admire but cannot lo-ve him—dying in his own belief and in the belief of all around him—admits his successful rival , Pierce Thanet , to a final interview—gives to Pierce the -whole of his money , accompanying -the gift with bitter words of sarcasm on the unholy power of gold , wrung out of him . by the last pano-s of anguish and despair , and , to all appearance dies , after having enriched his moneyless rival with the-wealth which could alone obtain the consent of Maud ' s father to her union with Pierce . So the first nut ends . In the second , Dymond again appears . "What seemed to be death was but a trance that resembled death . He has come back to life to find himself beggared

by his own act , dependent on the mercy and honour of the favoured rival whom he has enriched , at the moment when that rival is about -to marry with the help of Dymond ' s gold , the woman whom Dymond loves . This is the grand situation of the play ; the admirable middle-point from which the p lot might have mounted to the climax of interest—of " breathless" interest ui the best and highest sense . Unfortunately , the second act ended with what ( as far as the sympathies of the audience were concerned ) ought to have been , the end of the play—Maud ' s indignant rejection of Pierce for refusing to restore his legacy , after circumstances had made it no legacy at all ; and ° the offer of her hand to Dijmnnd . Dymond is the interesting character of the play . Pierce never wins the sympathies of the audience from first to last ; and yet , m the third actwhen he has returned the moneyMaud discovers
, , that her first love is the only man she can marry—Pierce is restored to his former place in her aSections —Dymond resigns her , and so the play ends , to the evident and not unnatural disappointment of the audience . We can congratulate Mr . Jerrold niost sincerely on having conceived an admirable dramatic idea , and on having produced some of the very best dialogue that has ever fallen even from his masterly pen . But we are bound in common candour to add , that by relying too exclusively on the excellence of his idea —simply as an idea—and by trusting too much to the vigour and the sparkle of his dialogue , he has missed the opportunity of telling a good story in an . interesting way , and of developing well-imagined characters in the right direction . In literary merit , A Heart of Gold is superior to some of the
most popular modern plays which still live , and will long continue to live , on the stage . Any one of Mr . . Jerrold ' s scenes is , as a piece of writing , immeasurably better than all the scenes in The Stranger ptrt together . Maud NzitbroiOii's prose description of her first sight of London from the top of St . Paul ' s has more genuine poetry in it than the most professedly poetical passage that couM be extracted fro ^ m The Lady of Lyons . But The Stranger and : ZVie Lady of Lyons keep the stage , after the experience of many years , and will continue to be acted when the' Heart of Gold has but too probably disappeared from the playbills for good . What reason can be given for this ? The simplest and plainest of all reasons , as it appears to us : Kotaebue and Sir " Bulwer Lytton , as writers for the sfcasre , have made it their first
business to ^ tell audiences an interesting story . If Mr . Douglas Jerrold had but done himself justice by working on the same principle , A Heart of Gold would not only have been read—as it certainly will be read—with , genuine pleasure , but would also have been one of the stock-pieces of the £ n <> -lish stage . . ' ¦ . '¦ ' a ¦ We have encroached so much on the space at our command , in the preceding remarks , that we are only able to announce the deserved success of a very neatly-written little comedy , in one act , called Living ' Joo Fast , which opens the dramatic ' entertainments at the Piuncuss ' s Theatre . The piece is written by Mr . A . C . Troughton .
