Younger ; and now a daughter of the departed wit joins her voice to those of parent arid brother . She has many of the family characteristics—a tender veia of reflection , often mingled with humour ; a sportive grace , sometimes dallying with tears ; a hatred of uncharitable pretences , and a ' warm sympathy with , human nature . Mrs . Broderip ' s volume contains some delicate lines and stahzis , and some very pleasant , genial sketches in prose ; but her pen at times runs away with her , and at other times stops short . Several of her verses are rather feeble and diffuse ; and there are subjects of which she might have made more . For instance , * A Gossip about Islands' might have been elaborated into a most interesting ^ and delig htful paper ; but Mrs . Broderip tantalizes us with her extreme brevity . Criticism , however , is disarmed in presence of the warm heart which glows through these pages , and which dictates , in a beautiful spirit of affection , a Dedication to the dead father , and a sort of Epilogue to the living brother , from the latter of which we quote a pleasant bit of literary gossip : —
Trnly , the ' dash of ink in the blood' seems transmitted—like other hereditary diseases , even to the third generation . One imaginative old lady has even profanely suggested that we were fed on ink , out of a quill , like young birds , —pinafored in proof sheets , —and tucked up in blotting paper , —but this , I need hardly say , is quite a myth . However , in very early days the cacoetkes scribendi was manifested pretty strongly . Our first essay , in such precocious authorship , was when we two alone formed the whole staff of editor , contributors , reviewer , artist , printer , and publisher , to a small ' family magazine' of a far more harmless kind than the felonious pill-box , full of gunpowder , of some of our contemporaries . * Pinafored in proof sheets' is good ; but not so perfect as the remark of a great living novelist to the son of a literary friend , himself a drivei' of the quill : — ' * Why , your very cot must have been spread with proof-sheet ^ . "
Poems by Emmeline Hinxman ( Longman ) have been written , as various dates inform us , at far-distant periods—several years ago ; and they indicate divers degrees of power . In some there is real poetical feeling , uttered with ease and strength ; in others , there is nothing but the uncertain stammerings of a desire that is greater than the capacity of performance . At the best , a kind of vagueness and visionary languor spreads over the pages like a hot mist in summer ; but there is something in the pen that could write this : — Pleasant it is , when to the mother ' s couch , Her newly-born is brought in dainty trim , And through the curtained gloom she strives to draw The features from that little outline dim , And seeks with feeble hand the feebler touch . Or this , spoken of a friend ' s return , after long and dangerous absence : — Pleasant to make a game of bygone care , Lingering from that dear side , in wanton wealth , Because the absence lasts but with our choice , — Yet hear , meantime , his footstep on the stair , Or from the window catch his passing voice . There is a true ' touch of Nature' in that dallying with the danger that is past .

THEATRICAL . AND MUSICAI < NOTES . The regular ADEtPHi company , including Mr / Webster ,. Madame Celeste , Mr . Wright , and Mr . Paul Bedford , returned to their old quarters on Monday evening after an . absence in the provinces of several weeks . The drama of George Darville was revived for the occasion . A grand military festival , for the benefit of the benevolent Mrs . Seacole , took place at the Surrey Gardens on the same evening , under the direction of M Jullien . The ' mother of the men' eat in state in front of the centre gallery , accompanied by Lord Rokeby , Lord George Paoet , and the members of her committee . The performance was of a very successful kind , and embraced some distinguished performers . Mrs . Seacole was received with unbounded enthusiasm ; and no wonder when the recollection of her good deeds in the Crimea must have been in every mind , together with the knowledge that she means to go out to India to pursue her beneficent ministrations there . Ihe various salutations of the audience were acknowledged by the old lady with a beaming countenance . The concert was repeated on Tuesday , Wednesday , and Thursday ; and there can be no doubt that a large sum has been realized towards helping one of the good geniuses of the Crimea out of her temporary
difficulties . . Mr . Alfred Wigan , on Friday week , said farewell to the public winch He has so often delighted , and formally retired from the Olympic management . Ilia health did not permit him to act ; but he addressed the audience in a lew touching words of regret nnd gratitude . The genial recollections and good wishes of all playgoers will follow him into retirement . The Royal Italian Opera season terminated last night , and Her Majestv s Theatre will br | ng its extra performances to a close next Thursday . They have been very successful . During the present week , Mozart ' s delightful Nozze di Figaro has been produced ,

THE JERROLD PERFOMANCES , An immense success was , achieved on Wednesday at the Adelphi by the revival , for the Jerrold Memorial Fund , of the Rent Day and Black Eyed Sttsan . In the former of these dramas , Mr . Henrv "Wallace :, the first actor of the part of / Silver JacJe , returned to the stage expressly for the occasion ; and Mr . Paul Bedford sustained his original character of Hyssop . Those were the only relics of the Druky Lane cast of 1832 , when the play was first produced—Mr . Hauley , we suppose , not being allowed by Mr . Kean to appear as Bullfrog , who was therefore acted by Mr . Wright . The great resuscitation and main attraction of the evening , however , was t h e reappearance as Sweet William of glorious old T . P . Cooke , with all his marine breeziness and traditional sea flavour . The veteran exhibited extraordinary energy , and acted , sang-, and danced the sailor's hornpipe , with , ' all his ( original brightness . ' In fact , he seemed to have gone all the way back to the year 1829 , when the play was first produced at the Surrey , and when he took the town by storm with the freshness of his acting . Mr . Buckstonb also appeared in his original part of Gnatbrain , and convulsed the house with laughter by his grotesque imitation of the national hornpipe . Between the acts , the
following address , written by Mr . Tom Taylor , was spoken by Mr . Albert Smith : — Ere laughters , wit-awaked , in silence die—Ere tears , by tenderness unsealed , are dry—While , with imagined joy , and mimic woe , Your nerves still tingle , and your feelings glow , Pardon , if on your mirth and hustihead , I force the solemn presence of the dead . As in mysterious Egypt's festal hours , The skull still grinned its moral through the flowers , The service of your reverent hands I crave To place a wreath upon a fresh-turfed grave—His grave , whose pulses never more shall stir To plaudits of the crowded theatre : Who sleeps the sleep of death , not recking fame Nor friendship , nor what honours crown his name . Yet , if aught touch the disembodied mind , It should be thought of dear ones left behind To bide the world ' s harsh buffet . —If one joy From Earth can reach souls freed from Earth ' s alloy , 'Tis sure the joy to know kind hands are here Drying the widow ' s and the orphan ' s tear ; Helping them gently o ' er lone life ' s rough ways , Sending what light may be to darkling days—A better service , than to hang with verse , As our forefathers did , the poet ' s hearse . Two things oiir Jerrold left , by death removed—The works he wrought ; the family he loved . The first to-night you honour ; honouring these , You lend your aid to give the others ease . Like service in like loss none more than he Was prompt to render—generous , facile , free . He had a sailor ' s heart ; 'twas thus he drew Tb . 3 Sailor ' s character with touch so true : The first that gave our stage its British tar , Impulsive , strenuous , both in love and war ; With English instinct , using still his blade Against the strong , the weaker cause to aid . While Dibdin ' s song on English decks is sung , While Nelson ' s name lives on the sailor ' s tongue , Still Susan ' s tenderness and William ' s faith Shall weave for Jerrold ' s tomb a lasting wreath . The last performance of The Frozen Deep willtake place next Saturday at the Gallery of Illustration . X . ast evening , Mr . Dickens read his Christmas Carol at the Free Trade Hall , Manchester .
