and there are the blue moors, backed by the burnished light of the sun rising behind them. What can be more glorious? Painter.-Nothing, nothing-see how "he cometh forth as a bridegroom from his chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a race.” The following incident is one of the prettiest things in the whole book: : Angler.-There let them go, and to-morrow we shall meet them by Hanson Toot. But what comes here? Painter. It is a little country damsel. Angler.-Good morning pretty maiden. What are you come for? Painter. I pray you to be civil, and let me taste some of this clear spring of the Ludwell from your pitcher. Maiden.-You are welcome, Sir. I'll dip it in. Painter. Thank you gentle maid; 'tis as cold as an icicle; and what is your name? Maiden.-Margery, so please you, Sir. Angler. Well my pretty Margery; we are greatly beholden to you; and here is a half sevil piece to buy ribands for Sundays and holidays; and so farewell. Maiden.-Your servant kind gentlemen, and I thank you both. Angler.-God speed you, pretty Margery; and may you live as harmless and happy as you now appear to be, and some day or other walk to church on flowers. Come, brother let us be forward; for you and I must up to the Wheeldon Hill, that towers to the skies yonder. Painter. With all my heart: farewell, Margery. What a secret charm is in a youthful innocency, that hath not put off the white garments washed in the fountain of baptism! I have heard it said, a child's mind gives a pattern of a church temper; it looks to have come fresh from heaven, and to be the only thing fit to re-ascend to the celestial presence. Angler. And that we may believe, was the reason of our Redeemer exhorting mankind to have the mind of children. And did he not openly declare that their angels do always behold the face of their Heavenly Father-meaning their guardian angels. The book, coming from the press of Charles Whittingham, is of course a specimen of curious and exquisite printing. AMY ROBSART, Drame en cinq actes, et huit tableaux, arrangé d'après le célèbre roman "Kenilworth" de Walter Scott, par WILLIAM ROBERT MARKWELL. Paris, chez Martinon, Libraire, Rue du Coq SaintHonoré, 4. 1847. THIS is certainly a curiosity in literature-a French play written by an Englishman, with the subject English also. Mr. Mark well, however, seems a perfect master of the French language, and expresses himself in it not only with fluency, but with much force and feeling. He has dramatised very well the story of poor Amy Robsart, though he rather strangely is led away by some gentler fancy, when he changes the well known catastrophe of the tale into a happy conclusion. According to this play, Amy Robsart is saved, and it is Varney who is killed by falling into the trap which he had contrived. The curtain drops on the news that the bride of Leicester is appointed first lady of honor to Queen Elizabeth. As a specimen of the drama, which has interest throughout, we give in its French dress the following scene-one which in the original is so popular, and which has formed so often a theme for the painter. SCENE XI.-LEICESTER ET AMY, entrant par la gauche. Leicester, en costume de cour, portant l'ordre de la Jarretière d'Angleterre, l'ordre de la Toison-d'Or, et l'ordre de Saint-André d'Ecosse.—Amy est magnifiquement parée; elle s'appuie languissamment sur le bras de Leicester,-Leicester s'assied sur le fauteuil qui est à la droite; Amy s'appuie sur le dossier, et contemple avec amour lord Leicester.-Un moment de silence. AMY.-Que vous êtes beau ainsi, mon lord bien-aimé !.. LEICESTER.-Amy, vous êtes comme toutes les femmes..le velours et les joyaux vous charment plus que l'homme qui les porte.. AMY, avec un ton de reproche.-Oh! Dudley. croyez-vous que votre Amy puisse vous aimer mieux sous ce costume magnifique que sous l'humble pourpoint que vous portiez lorsqu'elle vous donna son coeur dans les bois de Devon?.. LEICESTER.-Allons.., ne me grondez pas, ma belle comtesse (Il se lève ; Amy s'appuie sur son bras, et tous deux se dirigent vers le sopha qui est à la droite), et laissez-moi à mon tour vous admirer.. vous portez à ravir le costume qui convient à votre rang.. Que penses-tu du goût de nos dames de la cour? AMY.-Je n'en sais rien.. j'aime ces parures parce qu'elles me viennent de vous, mais je ne puis songer à moi quand vous êtes la.. Dudley, ne parlons que de toi. (Leicester s'assied sur le sopha). LEICESTER.—Prends à mes côtés la place qui t'appartient. AMY.-Non, je veux m'asseoir à tes pieds.. je pourrai mieux te voir.. (Elle s'assied sur un tabouret, aux genoux de Leicester). Je veux admirer à mon loisir toute ta splendeur.. je veux savoir comment sont vêtus les princes. LEICESTER sourit.-Enfan!.. (Amy le regarde avec une curiosité enfantine mélée d'amour.) AMY.-Quelle est cette bande brodée qui entoure ton pennon? LEICESTER.-C'est la Jarretière d'Angleterre..ornement que les rois sont fiers de porter. AMY.-Et cette étoile ? LEICESTER.-C'est le diamant George, le joyau de l'ordre.. ; tu sais que le roi Edouard et la comtesse de Salisbury.. AMY, l'interrompant.-Je connais cette histoire..je sais que la jarretière d'une dame est devenue l'emblème le plus illustre de la chevalerie d'Angleterre. LEICESTER. Je le reçus en même temps que le duc de Norfolk et le comte de Rutland. AMY.-Et ce magnifique collier? LEICESTER.-C'est l'ordre de la Toison-d'Or, institué par la maison de Bourgogne..de grands priviléges, car le roi d'Espagne lui-même, qui a succédé aux-honneurs de cette maison, ne peut juger un chevalier de la Toison-d'Or sans le concours du grand chapitre de l'ordre.. AMY. Et celui-ci ? LEICESTER.-C'est le plus pauvre de tous:-c'est l'ordre de Saint-André d'Ecosse, rétabli par le roi Jacques.. Maintenant, chère comtesse, vos désirs sont satisfaits: vous avez vu votre vassal sous le costume le plus brillant qu'il pouvait prendre en voyage..car les robes d'apparat ne peuvent se porter qu'a la cour.. AMY.-Mais vous le savez, mon cher lord, un désir satisfait en fait toujours naître un nouveau. LEICESTER.-Il n'est pas un seul des tiens, chère Amy, que je ne puisse satis faire. AMY.-Je désirai voir mon époux éclairer de toute sa splendeur cette obscure retraite..eh bien! maintenant, je voudrais me trouver dans l'un de ses magnifiques palais, et l'y voir revêtu de la modeste redingote brune qu'il portait quand il gagna le cœur de la pauvre Amy Robsart. LEICESTER.-Enfant !.. eh bien, aujourd'hui même je reprendrai la redingote brune.. AMY.-Oui, mais j'irai avec vous dans l'une de ces superbes demeures, où je serais si fière, parmi les dames anglaises, de porter, dans tout son éclat, le nom du plus noble comte du royaume. FINE ARTS. THE QUEEN'S VISIT TO JERSEY, 3rd SEPT. 1846.-Pub. by Philip Falle, Jersey; Eldred, 168, Bond Street, London. THIS magnificent volume illustrative of Her Majesty's visit to Jersey is a befitting record of an event which will be long memorable in the annals of the Island. The work, a splendid folio, comprises twenty fine lithographic views from ably executed sketches by a native artist, Mr. Le Capelain. Abounding as Jersey does in rich and picturesque scenery, it was a task of no little difficulty to make a selection where all is beautiful. Mr. Le Capelain has however, exercised considerable taste and judgment; and the result is, a collection of views which cannot fail to please the most fastidious. Those which have particularly gratified us are " St. Aubyn's Bay," with Elizabeth Castle and the town of St. Heliers, in the distance "Grosnez Castle" exhibiting its time worn arch in dark relief against a moonlight sky; and, above all, the famous "Castle of Mont Orgueil"the most celebrated historical relic in the Island. This mighty fortress stands forth in bold relief and presents an object of national veneration from the chivalrous associations connected with its history. Here it was that Reginald de Carteret resisted the renowned Bertrand du Guesclin and here at a long subsequent period Sir Philip Carteret, a descendant of Reginald's, and the inheritor of his daring spirit boldly sustained the cause of King Charles against all the forces of the Parliament.
