It would be giving a very incompetent idea of these two extraordinary pro- | ductions, merely to say that the art of embroidery can go no further it may be asserted with the utmost truth, that for brilliancy of effect, delicacy of execution, and characteristic expression, they are at least equal, if not superior to the finest proof impressions of the original copperplates. It is therefore to be expected that during the short stay which Miss Pajeken intends to make, the English ladies, who are ever ready to distinguish and encourage ingenious foreigners, will not let slip this opportunity of patronizing a lady who has devoted years to the attainment of perfection in her I remain, Dear Sir, art. Yours, &c. H. E. L. Agreeably to our rule, we have seen this Exhibition: the coloured works may, for aught we know, be extraordinary in their way, but do not seem to deserve notice as belonging to the fine arts. The imitations of engraving are on the contrary quite unique and curious, and ingenious in the extreme, though rather scanty for an Exhibition.-ED. THE French papers relate the following singular circumstance relative to a picture which was lately sold at an auction in the village of Vertus, near Paris. The sale consisted of old furniture, and was attended only by a few petty brokers of the place. The chairs, tables, &c. were first sold, and the picture was next put up. It was valued at 36 francs, and was thought dear even at that price; however a little old man, in a broad-brimmed hat, stepped forward, and drawing on his spectacles, offered 100 francs. Several higher prices were afterwards bidden, and the picture was at length knocked down for twenty-five louis to a poor man, who worked as a common porter. The purchaser having shewn it to one of his friends, a picture dealer, learnt, to his astonishment, that it was a valuable Poussin. The picture has been cleaned, and several connoisseurs have been to see it. The owner has already been offered twelve thousand francs for it, but he declares he will not sell it for double that sum.-The subject is Venus Bathing. SIR, ARTISTS' GENERAL FUND. It cannot but afford much gratification to every lover of art, to see the most distinguished names in the country, for rank and talent, united in the list of stewards for the festival to be held at the Freemasons' Tavern on Monday the 3d of May, in aid of The Artists' General Benevolent Institution ;" and I sincerely hope that the object of the meeting will be crowned with success, by obtaining the sum required to enable the Directors to open the fund for the relief of decayed artists, their widows and orphans. The fund was first established in the year was unguessed, 'Twas to hide what she dared not reveal. 1814, and derived its origin from "The | If Clara said love was a trifle, a jest, If she smiled at the dupes who could feel, Artists' Benevolent Institution," and a Benefit Society connected with it, called "The She had cause-but, thank Heaven, that cause Artists' Joint Stock Fund," an Institution highly creditable to the good sense and prudence of its members, who, according to the amount of their quarterly contributions, are entitled to a weekly sum during illness, or while reduced to want. A few of the subscribers to this charitable fund for widows and orphans, feeling for the situation of those left destitute by the death of the husband or father previously to the establishment of this Society, and therefore not entitled to relief from the charitable fund, and also aware, in cases where either from inability to contribute, or from want of prudence and foresight, he had not become a member, that his family must become so much the greater objects of distress, determined to found "The Artists' General Benevolent Institution," open to all cases of merit and distress. As the meeting is expected to be very numerous, the number of tickets to be issued will, I understand, be limited; and such arrangements have been made as will afford the best accommodation for the company, and for ladies in the gallery.

She had dreamed such deep dreams of the hours that were yet To lead her through life by your sideBut the roses are withered, and she must forget By whose coldness 'twas done!-They have died!.

Oh could you but feel-But 'tis done, and no Arriving late for dinner at a certain noble Lord's, I had just time to make a kind of circular obeisance to the Countess, and to the company to whom I was known,-to receive a significant, but good-humoured look, with a very gentle shake of the head, from her Ladyship, as much as to say, "You have just saved your distance, as usual; always late, but better late than never," to meet the supercilious eye of Lord C—, -to acknowledge the haughty bow of Lady Avanthier, the Nabob's wife, whose smile is a sneer, and whose toss of the head, after the common inclination of urbanity, seems as if her stiff neck upbraided her for the smallest penchant of condescension, and her curled-up lip and saucy nose mocked the forced smile which half, uncertain, would-be courtliness, had placed in their neighbourhood,-I had just time to receive the insincere pressure on my hand of the finger and thumb of a certain diplomatic character, so used to assumed import How little he knows Clara's heart, who could ance and to pseudo amiability, that it don't forget you,"-finally, I was just long enough in the drawing-room to see the first title proudly armed out of the room with a conscious look of self-satisfaction, to behold the autumnal flowers in very high colour, cast a glance at the mirror as they passed by, and to join the Dii minorum gentium of Baronets, M.P.'s, and private gentlemen, in chattering common-place, as we descended the great stair-case, when I found myself placed by the side of a very lovely young woman, with a je ne sais quoi of interest and melancholy on her countenance, which (to me) rather heightened her attractions. Her smile was grave, and, as it were, dubious; her deportment timid, yet dignified; her voice more soothing than sprightly; and her dress rather neat than showy. Yet, as she advanced in her short table acquaintance with me, she gained ground considerably in the interest which she inspired. She was sensible, highly polished, and modest to a charm. Most of the company knew her. I was rather astonished, however, to perceive that she did not receive from the society that palm of preference which so much beauty and such finished manners claimed exclusively for her; for, when put in parallel with her titled and other female companions, who seemed for the most part to eye her with indifference, she was like the fairest lily, the most balmy rose, or the freshest violet, planted in a corner, and surrounded by gaudy tulips, poppies, and ranunculuses, of forced production, and over blown. and unnaturally. My Lord observed, "She's for, by the hand of unfeeling avarice, or of selfish extravagance! Whilst all the pomp of heraldry emblazons the panels of vice's triumphant car with ducal mantels and coronets, proclaiming royal bastardy, and trumpeting kingly crimes! and whilst the swarthy or piebald progeny of Eastern plunderers gild over their low origin, and pass like bank tokens for sterling ore!

I, however, took an opportunity of inquiring about her, of our Diplomate, who, assuming (which he generally did) mystery During dinner, she was accosted twice by and importance where none was required, the name of Emily; and my Lord once gave asked me if I never saw any one like her in her a half smile of good humour, in send- the House of Peers?

As I never heard her called any thing but Emily whilst at table, I took an opportunity, after the ladies had withdrawn, to ask Lord what her family name was. "White," replied his Lordship; and he uttered the name as if it were a complete blank in the beau monde; for it is not uncommon, when a man names his friends (if perchance, happily, he have any,) or his acquaintance, or guests, to mention a little proudly,- -"a person of high public character," significantly," a beauty or an heiress," rapturously, and a commoner, or a fair incognito in high life," explanatorily, stating, "a good family, a good fortune, a person of talent, or of (what is more prized in a drawing-room) good expectancies." his very image! The bloated Nabob afterwards informed me, with a shrug of pity, that she was that Nobleman's natural child, that his Lordship had made a rich match, and had left her to the patronage of his sister, that our host thought it best to allow her to live in the family, being her guardian, and that she had a miserable two thousand pounds to her fortune, and was wholly unknown to her father, who had deserted her mother many years, and had a very jealous wife, who completely dragooned him. "Tant mieux," replied I," he deserves not only to be dragooned by his wife, and to come under the lash of general censure, but to be shot for desertion, both of the mother and of the child. How many a lovely plant perishes in the shade, is cast from the parent stem, trampled under the feet of pride, and withers beneath the cold blast of neglect, which bloomed in promise, and might have flourished, an honour and an ornament to the hand that fostered and reared it!

DRURY LANE.-On Thursday, Mr. Kean re-appeared as Richard the Third, and trusted to his display of talent in the crook-backed tyrant, to get him through his dilemmas for his tyranny over Mr. Bucke. The effort succeeded. The jury was a special one, and good care had been taken to secure stout bodies in boxes, pit, and galleries. As for the public, if our observations were not utterly erroneous, it had nothing to do and little to say on either side. When Richard entered, he was hailed with that species of applause which is known to be peculiar to the partisans of Kean;rude, obstreperous, and boisterous; the shouting of vulgarity at a wrestling match, rather than the decent expression of approbation which becomes a theatre. This clamour, while it lasted, overbore all opposition, but those who condemned Kean's behaviour to Mr. Bucke, seemed to be perfectly aware that a few hisses and cries of Off, off" are of sufficient force to destroy 66 VARIETIES. ANECDOTES FROM THE GERMAN. POSTHUMOUS TRAVELS.-Professor Engel, being once at a dinner-party, where the conversation turned upon Capt. Cook, and his celebrated voyages round the world, an ignorant person, in order to contribute his mite towards social intercourse, asked him, "Pray was Cook killed on his first voyage?" I believe he was,' replied Engel, though he did not mind it much, but immediately entered upon the second.' BON MOT.-Madame Geoffrin disagreeing once with a literary gentleman, the dispute became very warm, and many high words were exchanged with great acrimony. "How now," said M. de Holbach, a mutual friend of theirs, stepping between them; "Can it be that you are clandestinely married?" an actor's performance. They accordingly At Drury Lane, Mr. Moncrieff's comedy, tween Messrs. Bucke and Kean. COVENT GARDEN.-A very clever and laughable farce, altered from the French, by Mr. Morton, and entitled "A Roland for an Oliver," was produced here on Thursday. It was completely and deservedly successful. Laughter, the best applause of a farce, followed almost every scene, and proclaimed in a way which would have shattered Lord Chesterfield's nerves, the whim and humour of the performance. The chief characters were admirably sustained by Messrs. Fawcett, Jones, Emery, and Abbott: Miss Foote and Miss Beaumont also contributed a fair share to the triumph of the piece. The lateness of the period in the week prevents our giving even a sketch of the plot, if such a thing be necessary; but perhaps our readers, having heard of breaking a butterfly upon the wheel, may concede to us, that giving at length the plot of a "Farce, with some music," would be stretching a cricket on the bed of Procrustes. Fredolfo, Mr. Maturin's new tragedy, comes out next Wednesday at Covent Garden. We hear that it is a little romantic in plot, and often highly poetical in its diction.

"SIR-As the person referred to in the letter from Geneva, prefixed to the Tale of the Vampyre in your last Number, I beg leave to state that your Correspondent has been mistaken in attributing that tale in its present form to Lord Byron.
