I'itfuhue. tl tra, nrc. fBooks and publications intended for review in this journal may be sent through Mr. C Mitchell, bookseller, Red Lion Court, Fleet-street; or direct to the Office.j The Art Journal. Part for January.—This valuable publication will be doubly interesting to its readers in in South Wales on account of the series of articles just commenced by Mr. and Mrs. S. C. Hall, and entitled Excursions in South Wales." In the present part the writers treat of the -1 Wye, from Ross to Monmouth and they announce their intention of eventually describ- ing the beautiful river from its source to its mouth, from the well into which it dribbles in the far off moun- tain to the estuary where it joins the Severn." Mr. F. W. Ilulrne will illustrate the work, and the sketches he produces this month are very satisfactory. We have pleasant little pictures of Ross from Wilton Meadows," The Wye from the Prospect," The Church of Ross," Wilton Castle," lioss Market-place," and of seve- ral other scer.es and objects. We need scarcely say that all of them are produced in the true Art Journal style. As to the letter-press, Mr. and Mrs. Hall dis- course agreeably on the points of interest along the route, and conclude the first chapter with an interesting account of the Man of Ross." The article, in short, is full of attractions, and we warmly recommend those of our readers who do not already subscribe to the work, to send their names to their booksellers at once. The large engravings are, "Gil Bias at Pennaflor," "The Marmozettes," and "Emily of Rylstone." There are also several illustrated articles in the part. The con- ductors are manifesting a determination to surpass their former efforts, and we have no doubt their exertions will be rewarded by an in, reased measure of public support. National 3C"gazine. January. — In this part com- mences a new series of Recollections of a Detective Officer," which promise to be very entertaining. Mr. Brough continues his humorous story, and the illus- trations are numerous. The Family II-rail.—Several new stories are com- menced in the part for January. The leading articles are excellent, as usual, and a large portion of the maga- zine is devoted to useful family recipes. The London Journal.—Scott's "Fortunes of Nigel" is continued in the part before us, and Miss M. Power contiibutes portions of a new story, entitled Too Late." There is a capital "Christmas Supplement" bound up with the part. The Home Circle.—The re issue of this favouiite magazine is still progressing, and we recommend it to the notice of our readers. ———— Routledgv's Shakespeare continues to deserve the high praise we have frequently bestowed on it. Mr. Gilbert's illustrations are excellent, while the care and attention which Mr. Staunton devotes to the elucidation of ob- scure passages in the text cannot be exceeded. The work will doubtless be in the library of most lovers of Shakespeare.
THE INFLUENCE OF BALLADS.
THE INFLUENCE OF BALLADS. (CONTRIBUTED.) In this utilitarian age of telegraphs and steam, so bent is the world on M.immon worship—so great the thirst of man fur gold, that the novelist and the poet are looked upon coldly as dreamy idealist", who contribute nothing to the nation's wealth, or to the public happiness. What is a poet, and what has he done for the elevation and hap- piness of man f" says the successful speculator, sipping his wine and rattling the gold in hia well-filled pocket; a robust and unintellectual anima), who believes that the mere acquiring of money, and not the virtuous use of it, to be the sole aim of life. I beiieve, and will endea- vour to prove that the Poet's mission is second only to that of the minister of religion. Patriotism and virtue are nourished by the strains of a national minstrelsy. Poetry holds up to posterity the mirror of a proud past to guide it to a triumphant future. Soma of the finest cha- racters in English history are some of her sweetest poete Sydney. Spenser, Raleigh, Shakespeare, Harington, Waller, Surrey, Wyatt, &c. The Englishman is not to be found who could read Macaulay's Ballad on the Armada, without feeling his heart's pulse boat high with pride and p'ear-ure. And where is the Welshman who could calmly listen to the bloodstirring strokes of "The March of the M<.n of Harlech ?" Nationality imparts a peculiar charm to song it has embalmed Spanisu poetry, and endowed it wi'h a life th..t will live for ever. Though Spain fell before the bloody scimitar of the Saracen, in her mountain fastnesses her poets still kept alive her spirit of nai iial resistance. Their stirring ballads nen-ell the heart and strung the arm of the proud Cas- tilian and chivnlnus Granadine, and flung back the Moor from the Astuiian mountains, to sigh for his fallen power by the banks of the Guad liquiver and the fountains of the Alharobra. The follcviiug extracts «i'.l show how succtssiully the Spanish poets combined the bo:d daiina bluntntss of the soldier with the polished me'ricul lan- guage of the bard THE FORAY OF THE CID. "FIVE hundred Knights of Old Castile have followed De Bivar, To brave with him, through weal and woe, the perils of the war; They halted in a spacious plain, for meal and mid-day rest, When the Cid he checked his courser's rein, and thus his host addressed,— 'Hidalgos' shall your blood be shed like ruin, on Moorish spears? Shall Moorish do^s rmid run for food, as the kite his carrion tears ? Shall every brow that fillsheth now with a soldier's honest hate, Turn pale with fear as soon as you hear the Moor it; at the gate ? No, by my soul Hidalgos, no! pride flushath every cheek Deeply as sunset stains the snows upon the mountain peak, Down f'Om their passes let them pour, as foams t;.e tierce cascade, Your leader's El ampeador! Pehold Zizoua's blade He said, and sheathed his giant blade, the marching word was given, L ilea ven The banners played, the trumpets brayed, their echoes rose to On, on, in gorgeous train they ride, with armed breast and heel, In iron phalanx, side by side, the champions of Castile. Sow far and wide through the Moonsh land, like a tempest fierce they broke The Moslem quailed before his brand and bowed beneath his yoke; The brightness "f the crescent wanes—broken the scimn..r Who leads the Moorish King in chains ? liodrigo de Bivar I Uow conquest piles her golden store, within Valencia's walls The banners of E! Campeador bedeck her lofty halls Two hundred steeds, one hundred Moors, the bravest in the land Stand rauged before itcdrigo s door, and wait the Cid's commando Kings, slaves, and steeds the Cid hath seat, as tribute from his sword, For, though he fought in banishment, Alphonso was still his lord; Each slave he bears an iron key, the barbs wore jewelled reins. And the glowing u'- od of Araby swdls high witluu th.-ir vieus Bernardo dni Carpio's address to his army has also much force and vigour. We may suppose it uttered on the tve of the fnuous Eonccsvallei, wh-re the brave Ber- nardo fought nMnst Charlemagne, and made great havoc amongst the Eights of the round table, mirtiiiy wound- ing, amongst .,ihorsf the renowned Orl-tndo .— THE stoutest lances at his side that ever fought for Spain, Bernarlio rallied far and wide, gainst haughty Charlemagne Jn iron phalanx on they go, in rest is every lance, Their leader is Dot Carpio-their enemy is France. Weary with march, the glittering train, ere the bright sun go down, Halt in the middle of a plain, two leagues from Leon town. Bernardo r.'ised his visor up, surveyed his army then, And while he spake, no sound there brake from that line of steel- clad men. 4 Sons of Le in, ye who prize a warrior's name and glory, Who- e martial deeds of high emprise shall live in Spaui-h story Warriors, ye whose every vein with noblest biood is fed, Shall Leon wear the Frenchman's chain, or fear her blood to shed? Will ye consent that stranger hands should forge the grinding chain?

Leal Knights and true, your coursers spur,' his voice rose on the breez Shall the lion quail before the cur—'fore France the Leoncse?'" There are some fine patriotic sentiments in there bal- lads beyond ary others in the whole extent of the chi- Yalric poems. Every !ine goes straight to its object with the precision and directness of a su oid-thrust. Surely no OLe can deny that these ballads tffeeted great good for Spain. By animating her sons with a lofty enthusiasm vhitjh no disaster could wholly destroy, and which kept alive in their bosoms that spirit of patrietism which even- tually made them the conquerors of the Moors, and tie- vated them to the position of lords of the soil, by wrest- ing from their haughty invaders the fair fields of Anda- lusia, and the marble palace of Granada, instead of sink- ing to be the serfs of the conquerors, which would most probably have been the case if thfcir bards had not incited them to imitate their heroic ancestors. P leteher, of Sal- toun, has observed—" Give me the m iking of a nation's ballads, and I care not who makes its laws." We see in them the breathings of a people's inner life, which history does not record. It is the reflection of their wants and aspirations, and the truest history of their feeiings. The ballads and lyrical songs of Burns sway the hearts of all Scotchmen, from the Orkneys to the Border. Even we, who are not Scotchmen, find our hearts respond to Lie simple and touching melodies. We must ever regard poets who have adorned and elevated humanity by their genius as men of superior order; as philanthropists, who hare added a new pleasure to life, a pleasure which purifies the heart while it gratifies the sense, and which 110 mere utilitarian triumphs could ever supply.

jfflrrigtt unit Cnlmtial Ikitis. FRANCE.—The French Funds have fallen very much this week, owing to warlike rumours. On Friday the following announcement appeared in the jloniteur :— For some days past public opinion has been alarmed by reports, to which it is necessary for the Government to put an end. There is nothing in dip- lomatic relations to give rise to these reports."— Notwithstanding this official statement, the Funds again fell, lower than they bad done before. The Morning Post Correspondent reports by telegram that numerous sales were made by German houses, in consequence, as was said, of despatches announcing great agitation on the Bourse of Vienna."—A tele- gram from Vienna mentions that a corresponding fall occurred in all kinds of Austrian and Austro-Italii-.ii securities. SARDINIA..—The following is a summary of the Royal Speech on the occasion of the opening of the SardinianChambers:—" The King thanks the Chambers for the assistance afforded hiin during the last Session, which consolidated the national policy and the progress of Piedmont. He announces that Go. vernment will bring in bills for judicial, administra- tive, and municipal reform. lie regrets that the financial crisis and the scarcity of the silk crop prevented a balance in the national Exchequer. His Majesty says that the political horizon is not clear, but that the future must be awaited with firmness. The future cannot fail to be fortunate, because the policy of Piedmont is based on justice and love of its country's liberty. Piedmont is small, but great in the councils of Europe, on account of the principles it represents and the sympathies it inspires. It re- spects treaties, but is not insensible to Italy's cry of anguish." The King concludes with the words, Let us resolutely await the decrees of Provideuee.' Pro- longed acclamations of Vica il Ife followed the conclusion of the speech. PRUSSIA.—OPENING OF THE CHAMBERS.— The Prince Regent'opened the Chambers in person on W ed nesdny, and the following is a summary of his speech The Prince Regent laments the protracted sufferings of the King, and fully recognising the high calling Of the Deputies, requests them to assist Government with their judgment and devotion in the course which he (the Prince Regent) has taken with regard to Prussian policy, its glorious history, and its patriotic traditions,—a course which he is determined firmly to pursue within limits imnioveablv fixed. To preserve to the King the Prerogative of the Crown unscathed is one of the chief missions of the Prince's regency. The speecli describes the general condition of the country as satisfactory, and promises measures for increased development of railway communication and other purposes, in order to the further advancement of the country's well-being. The Budget displays a favourable state of the national finances, which will suffice to meet current expenses, progressive increase in the salaries of public servants, and also any new or rising demands from other quarters. The Prince Regent proceeds to say No change has taken place in the peaceful relations of Prussia towards foreign countries, and all fricnuiy connexions with the great Powers remain undisturbed. The efforts of Govern- ment have always, in concert with the other German Federal powers, been directed towards obtaining for the German Duchies, which are under the Danish sceptre, the full exercise of those rights to which the Federal laws and the treaties between the German Diet and Denmark gave them well-founded claims. The first time I addressed the Deputies of this Coun- try as Regent I called upon them to carry high the banner of Prussia, whereon is inscribed. Kingdom by the Grace of God, Observance of Law and the Constitution, Fidelity of the People, and of an Army conscious of Victory, Justice, Truth, and Fear of God.' Forward, help me to carry high this banner. He who follows it, follows me. Let us leave to suc- ceeding generations the old Prussian spirit, which finds expression in the unanimous shout of Long s 6 live the King I"—a shout which, though mingled with sorrow, is nevertheless enthusiastic. AUSTRIA.—The subjoined official article, which was published in the Oesterreichischo Correspondent, has caused considerable perturbation in Vienna :— Although the efforts of a criminal and incorrigible party to bring about uisturhances in the .Loinbardo- Venetian kingdom have—thanks to the sound common sense of the people—failed, still the very fact that the party in question dares to make such attempts is a proof that it is necessary to provide satisfactory guarantees for the 1 rotection of the quiet and peaceful inhabitants of the kingdom against such continual provocative agitation, and for the maintenance uf peace and order. With this paternal object in view, his Imperial Royal Apostolic Majesty has been pleased to issue orders that the army in the Lombatdo-Venetian kingdom he reinforced. The greater part ot the reinforcements will be taken from the troops which are now stationed in Vienna and in its environs. The moderation and the love of peace of the Imperial Government art- so well known, and its relations to the other great Powers are so tranquillizing (beruhigend), that it must be evident the present measure has nothing whatever to do with international questions. We there- fore again observe, that the measure has been taken solely for the security of the peaceful inhabitants of the Lombardo-Venetian kingdom, and for their protection against a party which is capable of committing the great- est follies and the greatest crimes." The Journal de Francfort, generally believed to be the organ of Count Buol, the Austrian Minister for Foreign Affairs, publishes the :I' Austria is strong enough in Italy to meet any eventuality and showed it in 184S —nor has she lost anything of her strength, as backing her is all Germany, with Prussia at its head. Yes, Prussia at its head. "Neither journals nor events will belte this assertion. That Power neither wishes nor can wish a re- modelling of Italy, out of which a general war must rise, in which Germany itself would have to do re- modelled, our common country. It was Prussia's KiuQ" who addressed the first thanks to Radctzki for defending the cause of order, European UIlT\)linm, and the integrity of Germany, which einuot be upheld on the Rhine if abandoned on the banks of the Po.A. telegram dated Vienna, Friday, says — "The third corps d'armee of the Imperial army, amounting to 30,000 men, has left for lu,ly." THE IONIAN ISLANDS.—The Terrible retflrned with Mr. Gladstone from Alliens aud the Southern Islands on Christmas morning. The High Commissioner Extraordinary has hired a house, which circumstance leads to the belief that his stay will be protracted for seme months. It is said that the right lion, gentle- man's visit to Athens was also connected with the settlement of the complicated affairs of the Greek loans, which are in a sorry plight, and over which a commission, formed of members of the contracting Powers, has for some tiaie been presiding, and that he made it a part of his duty to inspect the financial labours of these gentlemen on that classic soil. Ilis return to Corfu has not caused much sensation, and the only outward difference is the presence of an extra sentry before one of the largest houses in the principal suburb. It is not known how soon Sir John i Young leaves Corfu; his recall is, however, daily expected, and Mr. Gladstone will remain here until the Biitish Parliament meets, in order to carry out the modifications which he has recommended Her Majesty's Government, to introduce into the present form of the Ionian Government, as the result of his inquiries. It is said that they were forwarded to the Colonial-office on Monday last in a compendious despatch -011 dit of 60 pages. The very brief period spent by the right hon. gentleman here and in the southern islands would, however, scarcely suggest that the ultimate changes to be introduced into the n Ionian Constitution had been as yet dete: nunou upon. No certain knowledge can be obtained of Mr. Glad- stone's propositions to Government. The Ionian Parliament will, however, it is thought, be allowed to meet and petition for the annexation to Greece. This appeal will then be forwarded tor the consulta- tion of the British Parliament, by whom, as may be easily imagined, it will, of course, be rejected. It will also be forwarded to the Powers that were par- ties to the Treaty of Paris. When all these appeals have proved useless, and the eyes of the Ionian re- presentatives opened to the hopelessness of their attempts, it may be anticipated that they will conde- sccnd to hear of reforms. SE.RVIA.- The semi-official journals Pays and Patrie, just published, contain a note respecting the affairs of Servia, of which the following is a sum- mary Notwithstanding the representations made to Austria by the Powers who signed the treaties of Pa: is, the Austrian Government has given orders to the commander at Semiiii, to place his troops at the disposal of the Pasha of Belgrade. These measures are contrary to the stipulations of the treaties, and by persisting in them Austria misunderstands its engage- ments towards the other contracting Powers. (En y persistant VAutriche m^connait ses engagements vis d vis (tes puissances.) NAPLES.—Sixfy-one political prisoners have been amnestied and sent into exile. Pocrio and Settem- brini are amongst the liberated. There are hopes that others will be pardoned. NEW ZEALAND.—At Auckland the Provincial Council has met, and there is likely to be a ministerial crisis in the affairs of the province. The Intercolonial Steam Service has been opened, to the great delight of the colonists, and we trust that in future they will not have io complain of the evils which they have so long endured in respect to the postal communication. From Nelson we learn tkat the operations at the gold fields were being prosecuted, although the weather n had been most unfavourable. Fresh coal had been discovered in this province, as well as at Auckland, and the accounts of the quality of both are most satis- factory. A separate contract for the conveyance of the mails between Melbourne and Wellington had been entered into by the Provincial Government. We regret to learn that another flood had occurred at the Hutt. It will also be seen that in this province the idea of a submarine telegraph to Melbourne has been started.—Australian and New Zealand Gazelle.

REVIVAL OF AN OLD CUSTOM.—A letter from Rome says :—Mgr. Matteucci, governor of this city, has re- vived a custom which since the disturbances of 1848 has not been observed, that of offering refreshments to the public, in the second and thiid rows of boxes in the principal theatre, on the opening night of the season. After the performance of the first act on that night, the doors of all the boxes were opened, and two servants in livery entered, one carrying two silver candlesticks with lights, and the other a large silver salver, bearing fruits, confectionary, biscuits, and ices, which he off, red to the occupiers of the boxes.

IIAKDY riicir AND KITCHEN GARDEN.—If any planting of fruit tree s still remains to l e done this should be seen to very soon and every available des- patch used to get it completed. If it is worth while to occupy ground with fruit trees and incur the expense, &e., of p anting them, it certainly is worth consideration whether the ground is in the best possible state of preparation for being planted with fruit trees, and to incur any expense and trouble "hicli may be requisite in order to render the soil as suitable as can be made for the kind of trees with which it is to be planted. To do this is seldom a work involving much direct outlay, for provided the ground is well drained there is little else required except labour, materials for concreting and a supply of good loamy soi1, all of which can gene- rally be obtained about most places But it is useless to plant trees except there is a fair prospect of their doing well and the necessary preparations for securing this can be more convenient.y, cheaply, and efficaciously made before planting than afterwards, and the requisite preparations should be made even if doing this should ncces-ita'e putting off planting until another season. Push forward the digging or trenching as the case may be. and get all vacant ground turned over as soon after this as circumstances will admit. In the kitchen garden as in other departments alterations will occasionally be required, such as taking up and relaying box edgings that have become imperfect, or those that have grown too strong and bulky, turning or surfacing walks with fresh gravel, and such jobs should be done if possible before tlie busy season.

ATTEMPT TO BLOW up A HOusE.-On Tuesday morn- ing a diabolical attempt was made to blow up the house and shop ot Mr. Poole, butcher, in the Wicker, Sheffield, a proceeding by which the lives of eight persons were jeopardized. The occupants of the house were Mr. Poole, his wife, and two young childien, James Linley ( brother-in-law to Air. Foole), his wife,and two children. Xbout 20 minutes after 7 o'clock, while Air. Poole was dressing, and the rest of the inmates were still in bed, a loud report was heard, and the house was simul- taneously shaken in a most violent manner. A cloud of dust and smoke immediately afterwards rose and filled the rooms, almost to suffocation. After opening the windows to ventilate the rooms, andrecovering somewhat from their alarm, .\ir. Poole and Mr. Linley descended into the lower rooms to learn the causeof the disturbance. In the cellar, nearly under the grating, they found a tin can, capable of holding about three pints of water, with a piece of string attached to it. An examination left no doubt that the cellar gt ate, which had been left unfastened, had been taken up, and the can, filled with powder, let down into the cellar and exploded. The can was turn into several pieces by the explosion. Fortunately, the diabolical proceeding has been attended with little success. Linley is a saw grinder, and there appears to be no doubt that the attempt to blow up the liDuse has been resorted to for the purpose of intimidating him into joining the saw grinders' union, from which he has stood aloof for some years.

No. 10 but in that city of tortuous narrow lanes the stranger may ualk wearily and fIr in a futile attempt to find it without a competent guide. The tall houses, the narrow streets, and the tendency of the latter to wind suddenly, compl. tely mislead a stranger, nho cannot catch sight in their close depths of any friendly landmark of steeple or tower to guide his steps aright. The house once found is easily distinguish! d from others near it, as well frora its size as from the inscriptions upon it. it is a n b'e ma s on, sitll,ted at a slight angle of the street.

TIIR CAxxoN AT THE HIPPODROME. — It may be re- membered that in the course of last su nmer part of the performances of the Hippodrome, consisted of a man having a cannon fired 011 tiis shoulder, and that one day the "man with the cannon" having imprudently turned a little aside, instead of faeing the entry where no per- sons were, the wadding from the cannon struck one of the spectators, a tradesman named Raimbamt, of Avig- non, and broke his left arm. On Saturday the man, whose name is Vigneron, was brought to trial before the Tribunal of Correctional Police, for what the law calls "wounding by imprudence," aud M. Arnault, dir, ctor of the Hippodrome, was tried with him as civilly re- sponsible. Vigneron asserted that, as he had repeatedly tired his cannon from the same position and with the same charge of gunpowder without danger, the accident must have been occasioned by the violence of the wind and Arnault contended that, as he had given them-sn proper instructions to avoid accidents, he had not ill- curred any responsibility. The tribunal condemned Vigneron to a fortnight's imprisonment, and Arnault to 1001. fin".—Galignani's Messenger.
