lys , this omission in his previous despatch . This cut the foundation from le edifice of ill opinion which had been but the work of a few days , or ideed of a few hours , not to build , but to inflate ; and the affair beimr now oinparatively forgotten , except , of course , in military circles , the publicaon of Colonel Adye ' s work must necessarily appear to be a few days too ite . To all , however , who are professionally curious as to the strategic ifficulties of Windhani ' s position on those miserable days , with his four undred and fifty soldiers and forty-seven sailors , will derive pleasure from lie unaffected statement of the gallant author , who was assistant-adjutant eneral , and give him every credit for the affectionate regard for a comide ' s fair fume which induced him-to step forward as its champion . In bis
wn words , " The object with which this account has been drawn "up is to slate plainly the anxieties and responsibilities of General Windham ' s posion ; to explain also the reasons of his attacking the enemy in the open eld on the first day ; of his defence of the city on the second ; and of bis rrangements for protecting the entrenchment and bridges on the third . If ris account should tend to remove certain erroneous impressions which ppear to have been formed on the subject , probably from a want of knowsdge of details , the object in view will have been fully accomplished . " We lay take it , therefore , from the above hints , that our author appeals rather i clerum than a&jiopnlum . Upon the professional points involved we have nail pretensions to offer our criticism- —from the other points of view indiated , Colonel Adye ' s pages are welcome .

a , possessed great powers pantomimic expression , Madame Rosa . ti appeared in an act of Aubbr ' s ballet of La Sonnanibule , a subject -which has been so successfully illustrated by music , the drama , and by diincing . Madame Ros ^ ti takes an equal stand with her musical and dramatic rivals , and gives to the hapless Amina an expression touching and remarkably interesting . The season is drawing towards a close , that is , as regards the subscriptions ; but Don Giovanni , the incomparable musical opera after all , and La Zingara are being prepared , the pipsy of gipsies , is to be ^ personated by Alboni . The concerts are bewildering , not only for their number but their sameness ; we recollect Herr Joachim ' s performance of Tartini ' s "Le Sonjie du Diable ;" but then at what concert , or rather at which concert , did we « o < hear it so wonderfully , so diabolically played . Where did Madame Viakdot Gabcia execute —for if actual voice be the test she scarcely sings—the brilliant Spanish aira , or Pacini ' s r . ria ? There are , however , some specialities—for instance , Signor Maimo sang , for the only time during the season , at Miss Kembie ' s matine ' e
dramatic dancerand of of The musical event of the week is the reappearance of Sigiior Tabibeulik at the Royal Italian Opera , Covknt Garden , in Rossini ' s Otelh . He was heartily greeted , and he appears in full power and health . He produced in the duet with Tago the usual extraordinary effect by the production of the high chest notes , for which he is remarkable . He was encored in the " L'ira d ' averso fato , " and repeated liis tour de force with unabated power . In the lower tones his voice seems to have suffered a trifle , but the higher are as pure and marvellous as ever . Signor Ronconi was as great as ever in logo , and that is tantamount to saying the part was as finely performed as it was possible . His demoniacal . joy as he sees-his victim ragingbeneath his vindictiveness , is worthy of the . greatest actor ; and his musical expression is equally fine . Madama Gbisi ' s Desdemona is still beautiful . The mounting of tfie opera was highly picturesque and truthful . At Her Majesty ' s Theatre , the reappearance of the celebrated danseuse Madame Rosati has been the great event . Being essentially
given at Bridjjewatcr House ; first Donizhtti ' s " Ange si pur , " and then in . a duet with Miss Kkmdle . At Madame Sai-a ' s concert Madame Guerkabella made her second appearance , and sang a liussian melody delightfully ; and Mr . Albert Smith gave "'Brown on his Travels , " which says much for the comicality , but little for the music of the concert . However , Miss Arabki / la Goddaru and a host of real vocal talent fully maintained'the high character of the performances . The Vocal Association , under the direction of Mr . Benkdict , have given their concluding concert of the present season , and it was conducted with the usual care and taste . The peculiarity of the programme was Herr Joachim ' s overture to Suakspeare ' s Henry IV ., which seems to have been of the class styled transcendental , a school which at present is creating . some strife in the musical worlll . ¦ It is wild , ' . . unintelligible , and exceedingly difficult , and , like pTe-Raphaelism . in painting , does not encourage or patronize the beautiful . If you are pleased , the connoisseurs tell you you are wrong ; if perplexed , you may in time comprehend .
The Theatrical intelligence is slight . A new farce from the French , entitled Dying for Love , has-been brought out « t the Princess ' s successfully . The humour is niade ' -p ' rincipally by Mr . David Fisher ' s mock-heroic determination to destroy himself ; and the ladies being : personnted by Miss JHkath and Miss Murray , it agreeably passes the hour of expectation devoted to the Merchant of Venice .: The Olympic has revived a very odd little farce called the Windmill , in which Mrs . Emi > i : n enacts , archly , a miller ' s daughter , and Mr . Lkwis Bali . a loutish lover . The characters were designed for IV ^ r , ami Mrs . Iveelkv , who came out in them some dozen years since . Vacxhall . Gardens , spite of the Thames disorder , has opened , and -we note it chiefly , as three years more will complete its two hundredth year—an ago which public establishments of the kind seldom reach . Pepys and Evelyn record it ' s foundation in 1661 ; and if tlie embankment and purification of its great adjunct—the river—take place , who knows but it may get a new lease for another hundred 3 'ears . Indeed , our Garden entertainments arc looking up . for Crewornk is about to undergo a lustration by the fairest and purest of the aristocracy—and the Princess Mary and the Duchess of Cambridge , have already consecrated its day entertainments .
MUSIC . ["¦ he London air is vocal with the concerts an < l operas that pervade it in all irections . Formerly these entertainnients were confined to tho Court portion f the town , but now we have " opera here—opera there—opera everywhere . "

THE SCHOLAR A >' D THE TROOPER . 'he Scholar and the Trooper ; or , Oxford during the Great Rebellion . By the R * v . W . E . Heygate , M . A . J . Parker . ' he author has successfully aimed at " making that portion of history emraced by the above tale more living to the reader . " He has endeavoured > clothe the framework of a story ¦ with a faithful representation of the views :, onversation , manners , and customs of the time—to take the reader of toay , in fact , behind the scenes of history . We have numerous chronicles of
be time , both printed and MS ., from which it has frequently struck us uit both the novelist and dramatist of our day might . draw more liberally txan it has occurred to them to do , and we are obliged to Mr . Heygate for ie interesting realization he has . afforded to si long-cherished literary pro-, sefc . He could have chosen no centre of operations so rich in material of 11 kinds as the city of Oxford . He has grouped his characters in and round the old city in so natural n manner as almost to conceal the rolancer ' s art ; and the unaffected stj'lc of . the iangunge he has adopted is a eviation from the traditional custom of those who have taken to illustrate
be time of the civil wars , and no doubt much facilitated his labour of love . Mae action takes place between the date of the royal entry on the 14 tb of uly , 1643 , and the capitulation on the 20 th of June ,-1 ( 346 , and comprises lie sieges of 1644 and 1645-6 , under Fairfax . It was a stirring ; period , and lose who can face old books may spend many a pleasant hour over the linute records of it from ' which Mr . Heygate has drawn his facts . But such s insist upon taking their modicum of history in disguise—and to such only e author appeals—will find the agreeable and the useful in his pages .
