r literature. The Pictorial Shakspere. Part HI.—C. Knight. It has been the fashion of late years to illustrate even the most trilling and transitory publications, while, somewhat to the shame of English taste, the works of Shakspere have been continually put forth in the simplest and most slovenly garb. Fully agreeing that it is useless to paint the lily," or to gild refined gold," we nevertheless think that the page* of the first of English writers ought, of all others, to be lavishly honoured in the way of illus- tration and adornment. It by no means follows that, because Shakspere wrote for all posterity, his writings should necessarily be put forth in the most slovenly form, and that no assistance should be given to his readers either by pictorial embel- lishment or commentary. There have been com- mentators enough, it is true; but while ample li- berties have been taken with the text, both in the way of addition and curtailment, no attempt has been made to illustrate it in the most popular mode, by pictorial embellishment. This edition, hOIVever, is perfectly calculated to remove the reproach and supply the omission. The embellishments are numerous and beautiful in the extreme. The first play, The Two Gentlemen of Verona, was, at least, equalled by the second, King John. Number 3, is devoted to Romeo and Juliet, and we will venture to say that the play was never presented to the public in so perfect and so alluring a form before. There is a critical and well-written introduction, which gives every possible information relating to "fair Verona," the action of the play, and the cus- toms and manners of the time. The illustrations are models of art, and are after the best authorities. As a specimen of typography also nothing is left to desire. THE HISTORY OF LANGUAGES is the basis of that of nations. Amidst the thick darkness that covers the early ages of the world, amongst the errors and fables wherewith each peopls has surrounded its cradle, it forms the clue that directs us with me- thod and probability at least, if not with certainty, marking the analogies and differences in the human family, characterising each successive generation, and printing on the changeful soil those traces of its rapid passage which so many succeeding events seem to have effaced for ever. What, in fact, can general history teach us of the first establishments of men, of their connections, their divisions, the formation of tribes, and their respective disper- sions? Who has followed their silent march across deserts, rivers, and mountains, and seen the vast web of nations spreading progressively over the earth? A single volume, in a few sublime pages, has given us a glimpse of this imposing mystery but, confined to great truths, it proclaims the origi- nal unity of nations, without tracing the outline of their vicissitudes. There, where history is mute, and revealed tradition has paused, what guide re mains to us for this most interesting research if not comparative ethnography, which can in some shape reconstruct the world as at its birth, by the union of geography with the science of languages (la linguistique), the general movement of its popu- lation ?—Parallele des Langues de C Europe et de TInde, par F.

The Emperor insisted. Well," said Joshua, "suppose we try to look first at one of his ambassadors?" The Emperor consented. The rabbi took him in the open air at noonday, and bid him look at the sun in its meri- dian splendour. "I cannot; the light dazzles me."

A DRUNKARD R EFORMED.—A very young man whom he (Matthews) know, had the unfortunate propensity of daily taking more wine than his brain could bear. Upon one occasion, after a Greenwich dinner, this person behaved so obsteperously in the carriage as the party returned to town, that he exceedingly annoyed his friends, and even gave them blows. Mr Matthews, who was present, en- listed the other gentlemen in the coach in a plot to shame, if possible, the youthful offender out of this dreadful habit. It was agreed that he should be told the next morning that he had, during his over-night's paroxysm, beaten and injured my hus- band severely in the coach. Consequently, as soon as he heard this, the young man announced himself before Mr Matthews was out of bed; who upon hearing who his visitor was, got up and pre- pared himself in a manner that was quite extraor- dinary in so short a time, telling me not to seem surprised at what he could explain at leisure. He entered the room where the abashed visitor was in waiting to apologise for his behaviour, and the in- juries he had inflicted. When he beheld my hus- band he started back, as well he might, and almost groaned, so shocked was he at the dreadful state in which his friend appeared. Mr Matthews had co- loured his face as if bruised, but the additional ex- pression of suffering which he contrived to throw into it was wonderful, even to me, who was in the secret. Poor absolutely shed tears, walked about the room in all the agony of shame and re- morse, declared he would never more exceed a reasonable quantity of the exasperating liquor, and retired a perfect penitent.Weinoirs of Charles Matthews. iizaDeth iteet »• um> „ .> uT woma

SCIENCE. RESISTANCE OF THE AIR ON RAILWAYS. (From the Monthly Chronicle.)- I The method decided on for investigating the resistance upon the Great Western was the common, method of observing the rate at which a train in motion is gradually retarded. If it be admitted (as it has been always assllmed to be) that friction is the only, or the principal retarding influence, it must then be admitted also that the velocity which a carriage will lose when not impelled by any force will be equal in equal times. On this prin- ciple proper formulae were constructed by Dr. Lardner, in which due allowance was made for the effect of the momentum of the wheels of the carriages in rotation; and in order to obtain as great a number as possible of distinct experiments, from which a mean value of the friction might be deduced, he divided the interval between the moment at which the carriage was dismissed with a known speed, until it came to rest, into a succession of short intervals, for each of which the velocity was observed. By slIch mean, the velocity lost in each of these successive interval was ascertained, and such velocity formed a datum from which the amount of friction or resistance might be calculated. Upon applying these formulae to a number of the experiments a result was obtained, « hich was so unexpected that in the first instance it was deemed to be an error of calculation. It was found, in fact that the computed amount of resistance for the first interval in each experiment after the train was dismissei was enormously greater than any estimate which had ever been made of that resistance. Thus it was found that when the train was started with a speed of about thirty miles an hour, the computed value of the friction was about twenty pounds a ton, instead of not exceeding, according to the common estimate, eight or ten pounds! The idea that this proceeded from any error of calcula- tion or of observation was soon dispelled by finding that a like result lollowed from every experiment, and every calculation, without exception. It was also observed that the computed value of the resistanoe was greatly increased where the velocity of the train was considerable at starting. It was farther observed that the computed values for the successive intervals until the train was reduced to rest were gradually less, the computed value for the first interval being generally two or three times greater than for the last. No doubt now remained that the resistance which was developed in these computations was a real resistance of much larger amount than any which has been hitherto contemplated, and that it has a direct dependence on the velocity, which it is known friction has not. The atmosphere of course presented itself at once as the cause of this resistance. It has been esta- blished by the experiments of various philosophers that this resistance within the limits of their experiments increases as the square of the velocity but their experiments did not extend to railwav speed, and therefore could not be assumed with certainty as a datum. It was thought necessary, therefore, to reduce the question to immediate experiment on the railways themselves. For this purpose Dr. Lardner proposed, as an experimentiim crurij/, to dismiss a train of coaches at a high speed down a steep inclined plane, and to observe with precision the extent to which it would be acceler- ated in its descent by the gravity of the plane. If it were true that the resistance indicated by the above calculations were really that of the atmos- phere, and that that resistance increased as the square of the speed, it was expected that in the descent a speed would be obtained which might L produce a resistance equal to the gravity of the plane, and that when that happened no further acceleration would take place, but that the train would move uniformly to the foot of the plane. It was farther proposed to select a second plane less steep than the first, and to make upon it a like ex- periment; the gravity upon the latter being less than upon the former in proportion to its inclination, a less speed would produce a resistance in equili- brium with it, so that each plane would have a limit to its accelerating power, depending jointly on the resistance of the air, and on the weight of the train. It was likewise proposed to vary the weight of the train upon the same plane, in which case the limiting velocity would be varied in a corresponding manner. These experiments were accordingly tried with complete success, the results verifying all that was anticipated from them. The two planes selected for the purpose were the Whiston Inclined Plane on the Liverpool and Manchester Railway, and the Madeley Plane on the Grand Junction Railway, the former descending at the rate of one in ninety six and the latter at the rate of one in a hundred and seventy seven. A train of four coaches, loaded with a weight equal to forty two passengers, was impelled from the top of the Whiston Plane at the rate of about thirty miles an hour. Its velocity was observed to increase for a few hundred yards, when it obtained a speed of thirty two and a quarter miles an hour, with which it descended uniformly to the foot of the plane. The same carriages deprived of their load were started in like manner down the plane, when they were found to attain a velocity of thirty one miles an hour, which received no augmentation during thedescent. In like manner on the Madeley Plane a similar train was started and it gradually attained a speed of twenty one miles an hour which it retained until it completed its descent. Each of these experiments was repeatedly tried, always giving nearly the same resul t. Here. then, are facts which, being independent of all theory or calculation, cannot be either evaded or disputed. A load of eighteen tons has a, gravi- tating power down one in ninety six, amounting to four hundred and twenty one pounds that gravitat- ing power was, it appears, balanced by some resistance when descending at thirty two and a quarter miles an hour. This resistance amounting to four hundred and twenty one pounds was of course composed of friction and the atmosphere. If the friction were taken at the common estimate of nine pounds, the friction of this coach train would be one hundred and sixty two pounds and it would then follow that the atmospheric resistance at thirty twO and a qllarte:, miles an hour was two hundred and sixty pounds But even this would appear too low an estimate of this hitherto neglected opponent to railway speed, for by comparing the uniform speed obtained in the descent of the Whiston Plane with that obtained in descending the Madeley Plane, assum- ing that the atmospheric resistance is in proportion to the square of the velocity, Dr. Larduer found that the value of the friction could be obtained, and the value which he obtained for it was by this process a small fraction more than five pounds a ton. If this value be correct, that portion of the whole resistance due to friction would be about ninety three pounds, leaving three hundred and twenty eight pounds to the account of the atmosphere!

THE CAPRICES OF THE WIND are the hourly and proverbial subject of remark, and, not seldom, of thoughtless complaint. Even for these, however, there are causes, though we kuow them not aud in every caprice or chauge there is a benefit for some one. Had man possessed the power which fable has sometimes assigned him, could he have regulaled them so well, capricious and causeless as they may seem ? But there is a peculiarity in the distribution of these apparently capricious winds which mark* a design in the midst of all this seeming disorder. In the great trade-wind the design is obvious: it circu- lates round the globe where the ocean is widest, and is thus the great aid to the chief highway for the most distant communications. Jt is always to be found where it is wanted while the steadiness of its destinations from the fundamental course renders it in those parts not less useful. Within the range of those several winds the navigator requires little which he cannot accomplish through their aid; while, where they become evanescent, the very shores which he desires to reach or to navigate begin to act on them, and produce the variable and local winds to aid him. If this be chance or contingency, to the same causes do we owe the tides of the narrow seas — Macculloch. A YOUNG EXPRESS MESSENGER.—Yesterday week, the arrival of the packet-ship Oxford, from New York, with important news from Mexico, made it indispensably necessary for an individual, who is in the habit of transmitting intelligence to London, to send a messenger thither with the news in ques- tion. Time pressing, and there being no person at hand convenient but a boy nine years of age, him he placed in the 6 o'clock Grand Junction train, and despatched him to town. The child arrived safely at his journey's end, notwithstanding the terrific storm of that night, took a cabal the Euston-square station, and drove thence to The Times office, to which his despatches were directed, delivering them as cleverly and as early as any grown man, who knew London well, could have delivered them. The boy, on the day of his arrival in London, for- warded through the Post-otfice a very characteristic letter, stating how he had discharged the duties of his mission, what sights he had seen, and announcing 11 that he should return home on Thursday night, which he did accordingly, safe and sound, and highly pleased with this sudden and unexpected visit to London. The Tower, Westminster Abbey, and the Briti-h Museum, about which he had often read, seem to have engrossed his attention the most. -Liverpool Albion. Gmht.lands wlin was ">111er nnhPA tn nnit.

That the fires burnt a* well as any combination coal fires at 31". per ton, there was no doubt whatever. There will, we understand, be two dinners per week given by the Lord Mayor and tlie Lady Mayoress, until the whole of the corporation shall have been feasted, and his lordship has given orders that not a oinglf coaibinaiion coal shall be burnt in the Man- sion House, until the whole of the 10 tons of the 2'2s. a-ton coal shall have been consumed. The grates in the M ansion House are now called "anti-combi- nation grates." Mus SIDDONS AND THE POTBOY AT LF.KDS —The evening was excessively hot, and Mrs Siddons was tempted by a torturing thirst to consent to avail herself of the only obtainable relief proposed to her at the moment. Her dresser, therefore, des- patched a boy in great haste to fetch a pint of beer for Mrs Siddons," at the same time charging him to be quick, as Mrs Siddons was in a hurry lor it. Meanwhile the play proceeded, and on the boy's return with a frothed pitcher, he looked about for the person who had sent him on his errand and not seeing her, inquired, "Where is Mrs Siddons 7" The sceneshifter whom he questioned, pointing his finger to the stage where she was performing the sleeping scene of Lady Macbeth, replied, "There she is." To the surprise and horror of all the per- formers, the boy promptly walked on the stage close lip to Mrs Siddons, and, with a total unconscious- ness of the impropriety he was committing, pre- sented the porter! Her distress may be imagined she waved the boy away in her grand manner, several times without effect; at last the people behind the scenes, by dint of beckoning, stamping, and calling in half-audible whispers, succeeded in getting him off with the beer, part of which in his exit he spilled on the stage while the audience were in an upioar of laughter, which the dignity of the actress was unable to quell for several minutes.—Mathews's Memoirs. The result of cold winds, dense fogs, damp atmosphere, &c. are frequently subversive of female comfort and attraction, by generating cracks, chaps, and a harsh rough skin, and signalising a prominent feature of an otherwise beautiful countenance with unseemly coarseness. To succesfully oppose those innovations, the Ladies have a powerful friend in ROWLANDS' KALYDOR — and where the results mentioned have attained progress or completion, this infallible specific excludes and resists with an effective and rapid energy truly astonishing, render- ing the skin delightfully smooth and pleasant, and, as increasing the fairness and transparency of the skin, exceeds all coilnpeti(ion.-(See Advertisement.)
