No. 30. The Flight; from the Jealous Wife. T. Clater. Although not directly a scene from the comedy, the idea is derived from it. The costume and character of Old Courteous are well applied; and the story is happily told.

It is evidently the wish of this artist to unite the classic in character with the gay in colour. We think, however, that in No. 435.

This is a very pleasing and unaffected little picture. Frequently as the subject has been painted, we do not recollect that we ever saw it treated with more simplicity, and truth of expression and daracter.

ORIGINAL POETRY.
LOST FEELINGS.

WEEP not because our beauty wears
Beneath the wings of Time,
And age contracts the brow with cares
That once was raised sublime!
Weep not because the beamless eye

No dumb delight can speak ;
And fresh and fair no longer lie
Joy-tints upon the cheek.

No! weep not that the ruin-trace
Of wasting Time is seen
Around the form, and in the face,
Where beauty's bloom has been.
But weep the inward wreck we feel,
As hoary years depart ;

And Time's effacing fingers steal
Young feelings from the heart!

Where sorrow sheds no blighting power,
And care has no control.

Of happiness were bound.

As day by day they die-

Blue gleams bright from the sun-ray's kiss,
And trembling as if with excess of bliss.

And what is thine in the summer eve,
When the full bright sun hath taken his leave?

To this succeeded, for a single night, as a make-shift, Tancredi, displaced on the Tuesday by Zelmira, with the great Pasta.

cles; and by such alterations and additions as may be necessary
either to improve its accuracy, to augment its science, or to ex-
tend its information. It will be enriched with the whole of the

URKE'S PEERAGE and BARONET-
AGE of ENGLAND, SCOTLAND, and IRELAND.
It is presumed that this work will be found the most accurate,
comprehensive, and concise, which has hitherto appeared upon
the subject; an unprecedented mass of information having been
obtained from the highest sources. The lineage of almost every
house is deduced from the earliest era, and the genealogical de-
tails are interspersed with many interesting anecdotes of the
various families. The Baronets of Scotland and Ireland, with
their armorial bearings, &c. form a new feature in this edition;
and an Essay on the Origin of Titles of Honour in England, with
Engravings of the various Orders of Nability and Knightbood,
considerably augment the interest of the whole,
