THE MAKCH MAGAZINES. LIpplneotl'H." Frew Tnrner Brothers & Co. we have re received the March number of LippinroU's HagnMint. One of the most Interesting fea tures of the number is the capital design by Mr. B. D Bensell entitled "The Two Old JUvesdroypers," Illustrating Mrs. Winter's rial tory of "Over Yonder." The artiatio nerlta of thifl picture are very great, and it ia a gratifying exhibition of the progress of our wo most talented and promising Philadel phia artists. A great deal of credit is also dae to Mr. Lauderbaoh, the engraver; and as a piese ef wood-cutting the design Is entitled to yank with the best that have been executed In this oountry, and it is equal to the majo rity of the good engravings '.that appear in the English periodicals that make a specialty of their illustrations. This Bubjeot la particu larly worthy of notioe, as the artist and en graver are both l'hiladelphians, and it proves that as good artistic work oan be done here as elsewhere, if the publishers and the public will only txtend proper enoourageineut to the artists. The March number of Li'pincolt's opens with four chapters in continuation of Robert Tale Owen's werk of "Beyond the Breakers;" J. W. Mitchell contributes an inauguration ode; and W. KJgar MoCunn an article on "Ac tors' Memories," from which we quote: 'A leadiitr Mock actor lu most provincial cities commits on an average about eight IrnKlhV or three hundred ami thirty-six liiie", very day of his life. This mm tit be douc witu ease by most of them if their study was so nicely proportioned. Hot, unfortunately, for one wefH tnry have nothing to do, and for the next perpetual parts of seven or eight hundred lines, which is rather wearing. At perform ance, however, they are not always, as they call it, 'dend-letier perlect.' Sometimes they trip a little, and very olten depend for more thuu hall' their business on the prompter. Thn, on ex treme occasions, they have an secrable and impudent practice of faking.' This is when they are totally im perlect, and rely upm their wits tor thejaecesMiiy speeches. 1 have frequently seen this expedieut tried when the periormer knew nothing f the play except its tame and the list of characters', and the triumphant success be usually met with spoke faintly for the powers of peremption of American audiences. Many anecdotes are told of ihe skill of the celebra'ed Mr. John Paluuriu this sort of imposition, one of which is too good to be left out. He had a very long part in a new nlay one eveninu, and was set down in the bills to npouk too prologue. Trusting to a quick study, be kept postponing his attentloirlo both until the lust moment, aud when the euttaiu bill rani? went on for the prologue without known:? a word of it. The house wa packed, and ot course In a teniae uproar, as always at the commencement of a performance. The iudomitable Palmer, amid the contusion, began te move his lips acd gesticulate as if delivering hi9 lines. As nobody heard a syllable, the cries of 'Silence,' 'Hear the prologue,' 'Down in front,' 'Order,' redoubled Irooi every quarter He ceased his motions, aud with the most graceful dexteiity pretended to be greatly dis turbed by the disorder, and made a token to the gallery as it to indicate that he could not pro ceed unless that part of the audience, became quiet. This stratagem set the pit howling at the supposed offenders in the upper regions, and amid the riotous clamor which ensued Palmer came forward, moved his lip?, aud gesticulated as before, and, just as the tiabel was about waging, made his bow aud went off. He pur formed his part in the pi ay with equal suc cess, though te knew no more of the language in It than the prologue. It is a common prac tice with some to study a play while it U being: acted commit a scene and then go on and ' perform it. Thl9 is frequently kept up through five long acts, and is looked upon as quite au ordinary achievement. When the busiuess for Ihe week is heavy, the long parts are Generally read at rehearsal in the morning. There is a rule which forbids this under a penalty of a heavy fine; but like another couimon rule the one about 'gagging,' or introducing one's own language into a part not much attention Jspalato H iz 6t 'WaiiackV 'SelwynV or the 'Arch.' Jlany Interesting stories are tout of parts taken at i-hort notice. Iu the lives of Id actors it will be frequently seen that celerity in this way has been the stepping stoue to many a poor fellow's fortune. Gibber tells xxa how he came into some distinction by per. forming a long part after brlct preparation with Barton Booth; and KeaD, in Barry Cornwall's biography, appears in a simrlar anecdote. The instances ot the tame kind happening in this country alone are very numerous. A year or two since, it is said, Mr. J. V. Wallaek, Jr., went on at a theatre in Washington entirely perfect in the part of 'Brierly' in the 2'toket-of-Zeave Man, having acquired the words iu thirty minutes. Mr. Frank Mordaunt on a cer tain occasion took up the character of 'liar dress Crtgau' in the second act ot the Co'iee JJawn, at Niblo's, New York (Mr.L. R. She well, who had been playing it, being compelled to leave for the deathbed ot his brother), and finished the ro e saccessfully; Mie had never tee en in the piece before. Mr. ). C. Boniface once played 'Brutus' at two hours' notice; Mr. Edwin Booth once, when a boy, got tbrouali llichard III, in the illness of his father, without having studied It; and Mr. J. B. Btudley oneevenlue at the New York 'Olympic,' In the absence ot Mr. Edwatd Davenport, per formed the 'Couut of Monte Cristo,' studying the part, scene by sceue, as the play progressed. Beveral ladies now living and well known in the profession might also be mentioned as feavlng done wonders in the wav ot acquiring a great deal ot text iu a very little time. Not many are mentioned iu theatrical histories as remarkable for their bad memories. Cibber f peaks ot one or two, and Bond en of several in John Kemble's era. The celebra'ed John atone, the Irish comedian, whs noted far and wide for the labor with which he committed language, and tor h's trouble in keeping It after once- gotten. This gentleman, it may not be generally known, was one of the ances tors of the Wallaek lamily at prei-eut residing In New York. Mr. James Wallaek is the son of Mr. Henry Wallaek by hiB first wife, whose maiden name yas Turoiu. Ileurv Wallaek was brother to J. W. Wallaek, Kr., aiid son of Mr. Wallaek, of the Englh Amphitheatre, aud his wile, Mhs Johnstone.

Auy person acquainted with the private lives of ibe actors ot to day can easily single out a doten battered rakes who never have a sober women!, and yet nightly perioral irern charac ters. But Intemperauce will undoubtedly de stroy the mind at the end: tho powers of percep tion remain, but the attention cannot be con centrated, and everything is forgotten as soon as seen." Biter Fi'zgerald baa an interesting bat somewhat sensational story entitled "The Bhadow of Fate," and Charles 0. Leland oon trilutes soma reminiscences of "Breitmann in Politics."

L. Clarke Davis, in an article on the Boston Public Library, has the following about the Apprentices' Library of Philadelphia: "lbe Apprentices' Library is lodged in an old historic building at lbe corner of Fifth and (now called) Arch street, in the north wall of which is set a marble slab bearing this quaint legend: Hi GENERAL SUBSCRIPTION7 1R TUU FREE QUAKERS. Erected in the Vear ov oun lord 17W3 OF THE EllriBE 8.' "The founders ot the building were orisrinallv menibeis of the Society of Friends, from which tbey became separated by taking part lu the war 01 tue uevoiuuon. wucu trio war was ended they formed a religious society, and erected the present library building for a rueetiiig-houfe. There thy a-sombled after the manner of their sect, but Time, gently covering old wrongs aud bitternesses, oblite rated their misdeeds against the Spirit of Peace, and either, they or their children were taken back at last into the old beloved (oi l. and then the building fell into disuse, aud afterwards into the possession of the library. But the galleries where the ministers and elders sat, and the ma sive benches for the rest of these grim old nghtine Quakers, are 6till preserved with very loving care." N. S. Dodge discourses about the Found ling Hospital of London. From this article we clip the following: There are eight hundred children iu the Foundling Horpiial who know neither father nor mother. For seventeen yeats Thomas Coram, a retired sea captaiu, labored to achieve this paeat success. His picture by Hogarth, a it hangs in the hall, represents lilni iu a scarlet coat and knee breeches a stout, strong-boued man ot fifty years, with a florid complexiou, and a face very far from philanthropic iu ex pression. Whether a likeness or not, it belies birPt No more sincere benefactor of hi6 species ever lived. His business led him into town early in the morning. Parsing through the east cud of London, then as now -the xe-'ort of the poorer classes, his "reelings were harrowed," to use his own words, "by seeing young children exposed, sometimes alive, sometime dead, and some times djing." lie began to make it a subject of conversation in the city counting-rooms, at nret irom compassion ana snortiy irom enthu siasm, tie won adherents, uven tnoe who doubled success gave encouragement. He abandoned all business, and devoted his time ard fortune to providing a home for foundlings. His sphere of operatiou enlarged. Noblemen gave him their subscriptions; ladles of quality circulated his appeals; Sterne preached a sermon iu behalf ot the charity; Hogarth opened an exhibition of his paintings, nud presented them, together with the moneys received, to the cause. Aud when at length, after years of untiring perseverance, on the 20th of November, 1739, a charter was obtained irom Parliament, there was scarcely a man of distinction iu England who did not hasten to loni his aid. Commodious aud oruamental buildings, de signed by Jacob.-ou, the architect of his day, were erected upon spacious grounds purchased in (iuilford street, towards which, among other large private subscriptions, George II gavethree thousand pound. No greater success ever crowned the ctforts of a phllanthropiat. Meanwhile the hospital was opened in tempo rary biilldiiigs. In 1710. A biihket was hung at the gate, tu which cliildien were deposited, aud a bell was rung to give notice to the otlicers iu attendance. No questions were a-ked, no clothes or memoranda received, no person accompanying or briudng the child admitted w ithin the walls. All identity was thus for ever destroytd. On ue first day one hundred aud seveuteeu children wcro admitted, for whom nurses, food, clothing, beds, and medical attendance had been previously provided. Bills had been posted In the streets, notices read from the pulpits and advertisements Inserted in the Gazette aud otuir newspapers, apprising the public of the privileges of the ho.spit.il. Within three mouths U727 new-born iu'ants bad beeu prtseuted at the gateB. Many died from previous exposure, Irom . in herited disease and from sudden cbante of food, but still the house was kept full. Often ther3 were n hundred children olleied wheu only twenty could be received, and riots conse quently were not in'iequent unroug tho women who crowded out.-ide the entrance. To prevent this, lots were drawn every morning from a bag containing white and bl-iek balls, the number of the former corresponding with the number of vacancies in the Hospital, and the drawing of one of them entitling the drawer to deposit ner child in the ba-ket. One poor woman, after drawing tr black bull lor nineteen mornings, was so overjoyed at seeinir a white? ball in her hand as hhe drew it Irom the bus, that, with h"?r child in her aims, she fell liteless upou the pavement. The couserm'Uce9 of this indis. criminate admission ot infants to the hospital bad not beer, foreseen. They were deplorublo beyond description. The easy means of du, posing of Illegitimate children broke down one ot the freai barriers against immorality, and criminal utrlgues fearfully increased. The slu'Mies ceilected in proot of this are almost incredible. Parliament at las.t interfered, aud au act was passed which, whilst permitting children already received luto the hospital to bo retained, forbade further indiscriminate admissions, The extraordinary proportions of deaths helped also to briuur about legislative interference. Notwithstanding a grant of ten thousand pounds by tbe Oovernntout, added to the large amount of private subscriptions, tho means of the hospital bad been found insufficient to meet tbe extraordiuarj demaudo piado ppoo, iUm Sew. TELEGRArH riin,ADKLrUUt TIIUKSDAY, born chil Ire n, packed in botes aad bake , and tent by public carriers from all parts of th country, others laid naked at night by tin gate, and still more lett at the doors ot tho refidenefs of the governors, con trio itod to these fearfully fatal results. Ot the U 8;U children received within the period of three years, 987(Jdied. After a trial of vari.ru e. pedlents, the present plan, noiv in successtul operation tor more than ons hundred years, was adop!ed under tbe sanction of Parliament. Hince the year 1760 tho n-qui-ritious for admis sion bave been lllcsitimacy, the previous good cbarrcter ot the mother, and poverty. At before, all that would lead to tdentltf, wheu onre a child is admitted, is destroyed. The Infant parts with Us natural relatives lorever. The date of admission only is registered. It takes a new name, Is dresHed trom the hospital wrdrobo, elites the nursery, eoe.s no vi itors until It Is old enough tot iko its place a' the ' trdmary" (and then only for an hour on Buuday noons), and kuows no his ory beyond the Foundling walls. From this date (A. D. 17(10) the Foundling Hospllp.l im4 with no check. From the. pur chase of the estate, in Omlford street of tho Earl of Salisbury, It became a fashionable rendezvous. With Ihe settlement of its difficulties fls popu larity increased, until it grew to bs the most favorite resort In tbe mctnpoliv Hogarth established an annual exhibition of palutinis in th great hall, from which started the Koyal Academy. Dr. Burney founded h'-ro an academy of music, llaudel gave for several years tbe ptotits of the public perlornianco of his com positions, and Ins esstanlonc produced seven thousand pounds for tho charity. He also selected and present! d tho organ as a gift, composed the chants and anthems still used in the chapel service, and originated and pi-rlected the Founohng choir. Lord Chief Justice Tenter den beeamo a principal patron, made munifi cent gilts to the funds, and composed the hymn still sun; at the exhibitions. A visit to the Founalim: was the most fashlonnhli; lounce of the first twenty years of the reign of (Jeorgo III. The picture gallery during weekdays and the music on Sundays drew crowds of spectators in stylish equipages from aristocratic parts of the metropolis. Queen Charlotte, onco attended by Mr. Pitt, but more olten by Lord Bute, was a frequent visitor. The ample piounda in front of the handsome buildings became the lasliiobable promenade of the Londoners, and brocaded silks, gild headed canes, and laced three cornered The throngs of visitors on Sundays are al ways large. The anxious and ea' nest faces of mauy of the women who are to be louni after service in the dining-ball, waiting the entrance of the children, are suggestive enough. The latter enter from the parlors, two by two, In orderly procession, tbe boya in the antique dress of the last century, the girls with coifs aud white pinafores, to take tbeir places, with bowed heads, while grace is said, and then with hands folded until a signal is given, around the long, neatly-arranged and covered tables. From the wives and sisters ot mechanics and laborers, up to the lady the pauels of whose equipage wait ing at the gate show the armorial bearings of a countess, there are scrutinizing looks at each little occupant of a scat as the croivd passis around. IKAIthoueh iclenlitv cannot be established, it can hardly be doubled that recocnillcn o't-.m takes place. "I am certain it is he," whispered a well dressed female just before us to her com panion, stopping before a Djy of six or seven years whilst the throng moved onward: "I am certain it is he ! It is her nose and chin aud bair aid brow, and very toss of the head! I know it is he I" That touch of nature which a woman's heart ouly can experience made the face of the speaker beautiful as the Madonna of Rubens in the "Descent from the Cro-s.'' Bit she could not speak to the boy whoso curl shaded brow and glorious eyes marked the family likeness. The tie, whatever it was, had been severed for life, and neither devotion in sickness, nor pride in the expanding graces of mind and pcrcon, nor joy in the return of lav ishecr love, was ever for ber. Bach recognitions, supposed or leal, are not uncommon. A close ob.erver cannot fail to de'.ect them at any Sun day dinner at the Foundling. Savage, the unfortunate sou of Lady Maccles field, in that poem which Dr. Johnson charac terized B3 containing "a refinement of sarcasm unequalled in the English language," claims that, as a race, foundlings are superior iu gilts of mind and graces of person to those who iu other respects arc more fortunate. Whether thoie be truth or not iu this claim, it Is certalu that the personal appearance of tho eight hundred children in the Foundling Hospital at the time of our visit, corroborated by visits of my own subsequently made during a period of several years, was remarkable. No thoughtful observer could fail to notice It. Out of tbe three million population ot London I doubt whether the same number of specimens of perlect form and promise of future beauty could be selected. The prurient taste of the present century, which, for what are falsely called moral reasons, bin lor bidden the revelation of the true social condition ot the upper classes In England, has done a thousand-fold more, on what is culled the laissez-faire principle, to deprave morals than all the fictitious works of Fielding, Smol lett, and Richardson. The morganatic cou nec'ions ot the eons of the royal family, ex cused in them on account of the Marriage act of Parliament prohibiting the descendants of George If from contracting marriages, 11 under twenty-five, without the consent of the sovereign if over twenty-five, without the consent of Parliament una the same lett handed connec tions, without the same excuse, in ducal and other noble families connections by which the wife neither enjoys the rank nor inherits for htrselt or her children the possessions of her husband have been and still are an example fruitful ot immorality in the United Kingdom. This Marriage act, still In force, is the key to the unwritten memoirs ot tho royal family during the last seventy-five years. Ihe 11 ve6 of that brood of nine sons, issue of George III and Queen Charlotte, would furnish a chapter in tho t'hromque Scandaleute unsurpassed in villainy by the private memoirs of Louis XV or the Regent Orleans. When the Princess Charlotte, then hell-apparent, died in 1817, not one of tbe seven sous ot (ieorge III ttieu living had any legitimate children. The Princo of Wales (afterwards (ieorge IV), her father, was sepa rated from bis wife, the unfortunate Queen Caroline, whom he had received in a tit of drunkeiiue.-s aud discarded on awakening to sobriety, and bad returned to Mrs. Fitzlicrbert. Tbe Duke ot Cumberland, king of Hanover, a country detached trom the English dynasty by Salique law wheu Vicloria a ceudod the throne, was not then lather ot tbe blind s a who has rectntly lost his crown. The Duke ot Clarence was allied by morganatic marriage to Mrs, JoidaD, whose oldest son, as Earl of Muu iter, afterwards beeutno Governor General of ludi i, and wboce other children, under the name of Fit zclan nee, still hold, they and their descen dants, high official positions under government. The Duke of York who, thouurt guilty of every crime forbidden by the "Decalogue, and whose doith made baukrupt a thou sand tiauosmcn, received tho honor of ouo of the most" conspicuous and costly mouuujeiits in London, which polmlrc to tlietklar, I.'ke a tan bally, nru l b m-i &ad tie.' ' wastelliig commissions In tho army to satisfy the (Jemandn of bis Imperious paramour, Mrs. Clatke. And the Dukes of Kut, Sussex, and the rest were only less notorious m immorality. The decease of the Princess Chaxlo' te awakened these debauchees from their itidill'erence. Tho hope of issue from tho kitia in the lino of tho Prince of Wales was dead. Not n descendant from Giorge HI iu tho male line ot the third generation was living. The succession was cm the point of extinction. Urued on by tha clamors of the people, who dreaded another German sovereign, aud tempted by tho expecta tion of parliamentary erants, tivo of the royal dukes abandoned their morganatic wives aud married princesses of foreign birth. Nor is the present generation ot the loyal fauillv free from the same alliances. The Duke of Cambridge, cousin of the Queen and commander In chief ot theBiitlah army, formed a morganatic marriage, many years ago, and has a large family of sous and daughters. His wife, unknown of course in society, is a woman not only of rare accom plishments, but of real wortb. Wheu the Duke wont road after the battle of Inkermanu, she lollowed him to the Crimea, brought him homo, and nursed bim with all a woman's devotion through Jui Iwg and dangerous ilium. U is well known In the Loudon cbibi that the present beir-apparcnt to tbe throne and b e more sprightly brother, tbe Duko ot Edtub rrgti, have not bfen slow to avail themselves of t-ic excuses afforded by the Royal Marrm.rc act for following the examples set by their predeces sor. It can bo scarcely called ungenerous, therefore, or tar-tetebe, to reeosrnW.e in t ie fouidllngs affinity as well as to tno privileged as to the middle and lower classes of Ewrlanl. The education of the children of the hospital Is eminently practical, directed to the single pur pose of fitting them for self support. Captain Coram died poor. His biievolenc3 exhausted his means. His friends, therefore, nr ranged to raise a subscription to provide hi n with an annuity, but belore earning It Into execution, In ord. r not to oil end liim, ho was lnfoimed by a friend ot the plan. His answer was characicristic: "I have not wasted my little wealth iu self-lndulsencc, and an not ashamed to confeis that I an poor." Tim annuity was purchased, but he enjoyed It less than tw i jeats. He died at the age of eiuhty four, aiid was bnr.cd under tie communion tnlde lu thccbspcl ot the liosolia1. The hospital is famous, even to this day, for its nnniril dinner to tbe governors The wines stored in the vaults have a reputation thnt ctisurus a full tabln, even though the cookery were leas redurche than it is. It was at ouo ot these dinners that Sheridan made what Sydnev Smith called "the be-t imfroi?p but one" in the English Ian image. Somebody had said tlicr was no word which rhymed with "silver." "Nor to poninger,"' added .Tohn Wilkes, who the more he was hated by the Oovernmeni was fc'ed by tbe city people, and was sure to be piesent nt every grand dinner. "Will you bet on that?" akel Mierl Ian. "Yts." "What amount ?" "Fifty pounds against a sovereign," replied Wilkes, who, being somewhat hentcl with wine, was nettled that his statement should be doubted. 'Done!" responded Sheridan; and, throwirg himself back In his chair, in a moment he slowly repeated the following: 'The Dnke ol York a daughter had, He gave lbe Prince of UraiiKO li.'r: Mo now, John Wl'kei, JiiHt py the be";, For there's a rhyme fur porringer." The impiomptu which Sydney Bmith gave preference to over this is the famous one made at Cologne by Samuel Taylor Coleridge, when Dr. Oilman, to test the former's rhyming powers, as well as to avoid the infliction of tbe usual evening monologue, remarked that Hay lev, Cowper's friend, in one of his minor poems, had celebrated tbe grandeur of the cathedral with a very happy choice of words, but had failed in producing perlect rhymes to "St. Gereon Church" aud lo "liudescheimer" wine two things one has often to one's lips when iu Cologne. ' It's very easy," remarked Coleridge; "Hayley suould not have faltered tbeie. See here: "Since I am a rhymer. And new at le.wt a merry our, Mr. Muni Kii'leschelmer, And the church ot'uerecn. Are the on'y two things that are worth being known in this body-aud-suol stinking iowd of Cologue." It was at a dinner at the Foundling that Tom Moore fell himself aggrieved at the abrupt de paiture of Sydney 'Smith. Moore, as la well known, was famous at singing his own sonas, but had failed to do his best after this particu lar dinner, and had written Sydney that he was sorry he (Smith) had gone away so soon, as his voice bad improved afterwards, and he wag one of tbe few he always wished to do his besC for. The answer was characteristic and Is worth preserving : "My Dear Moore: By the beard of the ore late of CaLtetbury, by the cassock of tbe prelate of York, by tbe brcaktusts of Rogers, by Lnltrell's love of slde-uishes, I swear that I had rather hear you sing than any person 1 ever heard in my'life, male or female. For what is your singiiitr but beautiful poetry floating In fine music and guided by exquisite feeling? Call me Dissenter, say that my cossack is ill put onL that I know not the delicacies of decimation, and confound the greater and smaller ti'hes: but do not think or say that 1 am inscusible to jour music. Yours, very sincerely, "fiTDNKy Smith." It was at this snnie dinner that the great wit met with a retort that be was never tired of referring to afterwards. He had been couvers irg, in tbe lialf-bantering manuer in which he was inimitable, with his vis a via nt the table, a Swus gentleman of education connected with his country's embassy at the Court of St. .lames, upon tbe relative merits of Swiss and Cnglish soldiers, and urged the superiority of the latter, inasmuch as tbey fought lor honor, whilo the Bwiss fought for money. "The facti ia," answered the Swiss gentleman, "we each of us fight tor what each most wants." Two chapters of the novelette of "Over Yonder," are given. The story will be con cluded in the next number. "Our Pro v in. oialisms," by Rev. Henry Reeves, has soma curious information; "The Doubter" is a poem of mnoh feeling, and "The Caatle of the Taikun," by E. H. Hall, is an interesting de scription of Yeddo ani the residenoe of its sovereign; "My Grandmother that might have been," is a pleasant story by Alice Cary; "The Revolution in Cuba," by W. W. Kevin, is a thoughtful dissertation on a our rett topio; "Oar Monthly Gossip" and "Lit erature of the Day," contain a number of items of interest. Among other things it is an nounced that arrangements have been con cluded with Anthony Trollope for an original novel, the first part of which it is expeotod will appear in the July number.
