a specimen of art, deserves the notice of our English ́engravers. As a geographical production it stands unrivalled; displaying, at one view, and in the most distinct manner, every province, city, and town, in North America, as well as the courses of the rivers, &c. The map has been honoured with the approbation of the most eminent scientific men in America. It must prove a most useful guide to emigrants, previous to quitting this country, as it will, with a very little study, render them perfectly acquainted with the line of country to which they are about to proceed.

DRAMA.

In the press, 66 a Narrative of the Expedition to Portugal in 1832, under the orders of his Imperial Majesty Don Pedro, Duke of Bragauza, by G. Lloyd Hodges, Esq.; with Maps." Mr. Hodges was, we believe, in the service of the Queen of Portugal.

The exertions of Sir Harris Nicolas, in calling attention to the disgraceful state in which the public records are kept, have not beeu unavailing. A board of commission has been appointed, and Sir R. H. Inglis and Mr. Hallam have made a report to it, containing the result of a survey of the principal repositories. This is just printed, and it shews that sufficient attention is not paid to the arrangement, or even preservation of these precious documents. The records in the King's Mews (which it is intended to remove) consist of pro

WE scarcely know how Mr. Bulwer's proposed measure for abolish-ceedings of the court of Common Pleas and of the equity side of ing the theatrical monopoly, stands. We have heard nothing of it for sometime past, but we trust, that the session is not to pass away without something being done to rescue the national drama from its present debased state. Never did circumstances so conspire to promote any salutary measure as they have done, during the present season, to shew the absolute necessity of removing the theatrical sceptre from the ignorant, selfish, aud unworthy hands in which it has been placed. Never did any man so effectually serve the cause of theatrical reform, as the great double lessee Mr. Bunn. He has possessed himself of both the theatres, and what does he mean to do with them? Perform the regular drama? Oh, no,-nothing so vulgar is to contaminate them. Foreign exhibitions of every kind are to be encouraged, and English authors and English players may go to the workhouse. The public, too, must submit to whatever entertainments Mr. Manager Bunn chooses to afford them. The monopoly was close enough before. Now that it has centered in one man, (and such a man,) a change must take place. The Haymarket and the Olympic have showed symptoms of dissatisfaction, and well they may. The public will demand the abolition of the patents, and Mr. Bunu will have the satisfaction of pulling not one, but two, "old houses about his ears." What a clever discerning person the little manager is.

the court of Exchequer, both of which are well preserved and easily accessible, though not secured from fire or damp. Of the records of the office of King's Remembrancer, which are in a much less satisfactory state, some lie loose on the floor, others are in bags filled from the mass removed from the temporary receptacle in Westminster-hall, consisting of unsorted documents of all classes and dates, from Edward I. to George II.; many are in bad coudition, and many cannot be produced when required. The records of the Pipe-office are in vaults in Somerset-house, "ill-lighted, aud worse ventilated; in fact, inaccessible except with candles." The repositories in the Tower of London are Wakefield Tower and the White Tower. The cubic contents of the existing space in the latter appropriated to records is 156,873 feet, of which 45,000 feet only are occupied. "Here, then," it is observed, "is a large space applicable to the safe custody of the records of the kingdom now existing, and removable from other repositories in London, and applicable also for a considerable length of time to the periodical increase thereof." About 400 boxes of Admiralty papers, invoices, shipletters, &c., choke up some part of the White Tower appropriated to records, which papers are probably of little or no value. Any documents, once delivered to the custody of the keeper of the records in the Tower, whatever they be, are, under his oath, permanently by the late Sir Thomas Plumer, " exhibits a most remarkable spefixed. The repositories in the Rolls' Chapel, which, as fitted up cimen of the extremest economy of space," are exceedingly inconvenient and hardly accessible, owing to the darkness and the narrowness of the passages.

LITERARY INTELLIGENCE.

Mr. Urquhart announces a work on Turkey, and its resources. Miss Knight, the author of Dinarbas, has a novel called " Sir Guy de Lusignac," in the press.

Mr. Madden, the author of some rather clever Travels in Turkey, is about to publish a work on the "Infirmities of Genius."

Mr. R. Folkestone Williams announces " Rhymes and Rhapsodies," in one volume.

Mr. J. A. Heraud has been for some time engaged in a poem called "The Judgment of the Flood." It is to be of the epic character. Mr. H. observes, "that a sacred poem, especially if it be also epic, is an attempt only to be justified by its successful execution. Milton and Klopstock thus justified the attempt. Between the events to which the Paradise Lost and the Messiah refer, the event of the UNIVERSAL DELUGE is that which would next excite the emulation of an ambitious poet. Bodmer, however, and some of meaner note, have failed in their daring efforts to compass that high argument; and, unless encouraged by the highest literary authorities, the author of the poem now announced would probably have bled to proceed with another." We wish him success.

matured into habit." The state of the records in the other repositories calls for no particular observation. The report concludes: "Upon the whole, we feel it our duty to submit to the board our opinion, that the records of the court of Chancery are well and conveniently kept, with a reasonable provision for a periodical increase modation for the custody of the actual records of the common-law thereof, in the White Tower; but that there is no adequate accomcourts, and still less any provision for the accumulations that must take place in a course of years." We hope that some attention will be paid to the valuable documents in the State-paper office.

VARIETIES,

CHESS PLAYING EXTRAORDINARY.-We lately inserted some particulars of the origin of the game of chess, and its practice in different parts of the world. Our readers will recollect that it is a very fashionable amusement in China, and that all the young maidens of the Celestial Empire are instructed in its mysteries as regularly as ours learn to dance. The following extract from a Canton paper describes a mode of playing not very common, though not, we believe, perfectly unique. Some approach, at least, has been made to it. It is said that Don John of Austria had a trem-chamber, in which was a chequered pavement of black and white marble, and upon this living men moved, under his direction, according to the laws of chess. The same thing is related of the duke of Weimar, who played at chess with real soldiers.

A collection of the literary portraits that have adorned "Fraser's Magazine" is to be published immediately. They are very unequal in merit, some being clever in the highest degree, others in all respects are different; but the series is a curious one.

"It is well known that the provinces of Shense and Shanse contain some of the most opulent men in China. The natives say they

have money heaped up like mountains; and the chief money-lenders in Canton are from these provinces. During the last year of the late emperor Kea king, a rich widow of the name of Chun, of the district Tea-yuen-foo, had a son, who went to all lengths in luxury and extravagance. Among other idle pursuits he was a great chess player. But, chess on a piece of board or paper, as the Chinese have it, is a very meagre though interesting game. Master Chun conceived a new idea. He got a large room painted as a chess-board, with tables for himself and a friend, on opposite sides. For chessmen he purchased a set of female slaves, dressed them up in various colours, and made them perform, by a signal, the duty of knights, pawns, horses, kings, queeus, castles, &c. This high chess-player saved himself the trouble of moving the pieces. At a given signal the pieces taken made their exit at the door. Of these proceedings the emperor got intelligence; and probably displeased by a rich subject outdoing him in luxury, affected to be horribly offended (his own habits gave the lie to this,) at the idea of bringing slaves to perform the office of chess-men! He fined Master Chuu 3,000,000 of taels, and transported him to the Black Dragon river for life; telling him at the same time, that he ought to be infinitely grateful that his braincup, or head,' was not separated from his shoulders.''

DOCTORS' COMMONS.-The oldest will in the prerogative office is that of Lowys Clyfforth, Probat 5 Dec. 1404, in cod. MS. nuncupat. March 2, n. 7. There is a chasm from June, 1468, to January, 1471; another from August, 1479, to 1486; from May, 1490, to September, 1491; from May, 1493, to October, 1493; from February, 1496, to August, 1456; and from January, 1499, to March, 1500.-So writes And. Colter Ducarel, in a very curious memorandum-book, commenced in 1756.

The same writer gives his receipt to restore obliterated writings and ancient records:

"To half a pint of pale white wine put six or eight of the whitest dying galls, bruised; let them stand in the sun about five or six days, and then put them upon the defaced writing, and it will almost im mediately revive it."

This was a youth of taste; pity that his wings were so severely clipt. As for the Chinese newsman, he, we say, deserved the fate of the unfortunate chess-player, for presuming to call that noble pastime an idle pursuit," and a "meagre game." If, indeed, the emperor were to proceed to extremities, and take off his "brain-coufessionals as symbols of secrecy in 1526. cup," he would lose little, since it is obviously empty. The booby has no brains, or he would not speak slightingly of chess.

Ducarel says, "This I have often experienced."

Junius's Letters.-A paragraph is going the round of the news papers, stating that, on the death of Lord Grenville, now very old, the secret of the authorship of Junius's Letters will be disclosed, his lordship having been long in possession of it. This statement is founded upon a report in circulation sometime since, that the Duke of Buckingham and Lord Nugent had discovered some documents in the library at Stowe, in which the secret was revealed; but that Lord Grenville had requested that it might not be made public during his

life. We believe the whole story was contradicted on the authority

of the noblemen interested in it.

occasioned by a fervid sun,-such as tan, freckle, disorganization generally of the skin, completely subversive of female beauty; and, WHAT IS O'CLOCK ?-Clocks occupy a very high place among in-in the country, the liability of transient visitors, more perhaps, than struments, and their multiplication in conspicuous places, in large native residents, to the instantaneously fatal coup de soleil, it betowns, is attended with many advantages. Their position, neverthe-comes necessary to remind the ladies particularly, of their best friend less, in London, is often very ill chosen; and the usual place, half-in the never failing preventive or restorative qualities of Rowland's way up on a very high steeple, in the midst of a narrow street in a crowded city, is very unfavorable, unless the church happens to stand out from the houses which form the street. The most eligible situation for a clock is, that it should project considerably into the street at some elevation, with a dial plate on each side, like that which belonged to the old church of St. Dunstan, Fleet Street, so that passengers, in both directions, would have their attention directed to the hour.- Babbage on the Economy of Machinery.

WHERE IS THE POST OFFICE?-In the lowest corner of the window of some attractive shop is found a small slit, with a brass plate, indicating its important office so obscurely, that it seems to be an object rather to prevent its being conspicuous. No striking sign assists the anxious inquirer, who, as the moments rapidly pass which precede the hour of closing, torments the passenger with his inquiries for the nearest post-office. He reaches it, perhaps, just as it is closed, and must then either hasten to a distant part of the town, in order to procure the admission of his letters, or give up the idea of forwarding them by that post; and thus, if they are foreign letters, he may lose perhaps a week or a fortnight, by waiting for the next packet. The remedy is simple and obvious: it would only be necessary at each letter-box to have a light frame of iron projecting from the house over the pavement, and carrying the letters G. P. or T. P. or any other distinctive sign. All private signs are at present very properly prohibited from projecting into the street: the passenger, therefore, would at once know where to direct his attention, in order to discover a post-office, and those letter-boxes which occurred in the great thoroughfares could not fail to be generally known.-Ibid.

Kalydor. This unparalleledly excellent production has, during many years, progressed regularly in public estimation, and, from intrinsic worth alone, is now become indispensable as a toilet and dressingtable accompaniment, with royalty, rank, fashion, and discernment, throughout the civilised universe. Rowland's Kalydor imparts a delightfully refreshing coolness; irradiates and sustains the skin in purest white; aveits or speedily removes all cutaneous imperfections, however originated; prevents or cures the stings of insects; and during long voyages, or protracted abode under torrid climes, guards most effectually the skin and complexion from deterioration. These are facts which daily experience confirms, and which induce the voluntary patronage of Rowland's Kalydor by all the crowned heads aud most distinguished nobility in Europe.
