The immense hot* executed iu stone, which seem in dignified repose, to guard the ba- sin of the great central fountain, are c 4 extraordinary workmanship, and one feels himself involuntarily awed by their life-life and majestic expres sion ; even the eye, a feature consid ered peculiarly.diffi.cult, if not impos sible, ' , of representation ia statuary, is Strikingly natural and expressive. Seldom in passing them, could I t.s sist an inclitiationiti linger and gaze upon these wonderful productions of the genius of-Thorwaldsen. The I National Picture Gallery, stonding at the_ north of the square, is a fine building, and contains many treasures of art, among which are• rare specimens of the Italian, SpAn ish, French and Flemish schools. The Royal Gallery, in the eastern half, gives 'on annual exhibition of modern sculpture and painting, and permanent additions are made each year to the collection by purchases from a fund provided by Parliament The extensive and admirable Turner collection is _here to ',Le seen, being the gift of that artist to the British nation. ' A little way east, on the south side of the Strand, is the immense edifice, which combine under the same roof, the Charing Cross Station and the extensive and well.appointed Chunk Cross Hotel; where the traveler rir riving in London, finds himself at once established in his quarters, on descending from the railway carriage. Upon a similar grand male of combi nation, is the Cannon Street Ho:el and Station, in the eastern part of the city. On the same meridian with West minster Abbey and Trafalgar Square, and half a mile north of the latter, is the British Museum. It is in a quar ter of the city known as Bloomsbury, and but a little way out of Oxford street, one of the finest thoroughtares of London. All departments of know ledge are here represented; not alone in its immense library, but also in its museums of Greek, Assyrian and Egyptian art, and its rare, extensive, and in many cases unrivalled speci mens of natural history find science ; of its design, extent and progress the Biitish nation may well be proud. The institution originated with.'-the collection of Sir Hans Sloane, an em inent physician of the last century ; great additions from -tithe to time have been made in the contribution of entire colli ctions and the outlays of Governthent, amounting to about $6,010 OW. In 1523, George I.V. added to it the private collEction made by his father, during his long reign, and said to have cost $1,000,- 000. This had been selected with 111CWIDIi OR • 7111011 Art .4atiarna. great care, and was - considered the most extensive ever formed by a tan gle individual Tho . ancient Royal Library which had been accumulated from the reign of Pchard IL to that of George 11.. a considerable part of which bad been takep.from those do positories of literature. the Monaste ries, was also incorporated with it ; as well as numerous valuable and extensive Private collections t from time to time, by bequest or pur chase. Every English publisher is required by law to famish a gratni tons copy of each publication issued from his press. Thus the 'list ie swelled by tote additionof some 20,- 000 volumes a.year; the whole num ber is said to exceed 1,000,000.. Some idly laborious calculator has demon strated that upon the leaves , of its volumed; spread out and laid edge to edge. one. might walk a distance of 25.000 miles, or entirely around the globe - at the equator. Amid the wonderful collection of original matinscriPts, may be seen letters written by. distinguished au-, tbors, poets, painters and statesmen of the past; a deed signed by William Shakspeare and an Agreement writ ten and signed by Milton, disposing. of the copyright of his " Paradise Lost " for a few pounds, (the agree ment itself afterwards selling for the price of 100 guineas),—the original manuscripts of several well known works of such authors asr Sterne, Johnson-, Scott and Pope. ' a plan of the Battle of the Nile, drawn up on the previous day by Lord Nelson; and a despatch written by .Welling ton on .the field of Waterloo ; the Will of Mary. Queen of Scotts, and the autographs of along line of the English kings. Here are also Several ancient charters granted by the Nor man sovereigns, and that renowned document, Magna Charta; yielded on compulsion to the Barons at Runny mede by King John. The immense lumps of wax, attached by way of seals to these important documents, add much to their singularity and weight : the seal being evidently in those days the most important fea ture of a signature. ' Mcontagne House was for some i time occupied by this institution, but , so immense and increasinga collec tion reqnired and will'contimue to re quire, an increase of space and suite ble accommodation. The new build ing, °eclipsing the site of the former, was completed in 1857„with a front on Great Russell street of 370, and additions of 200—in all 570 feet. A peculiar feature of its' construction consists in the immense size of the building stones—said to weigh from 5 to 0 tons each. The magnificent dome surmounting the great cen ral reading room which is calculated to accommodate 300' rt nders, has a di ameter of 140 kef, and a height of 106; more lofty than the admired arches of Westminster, and of great er dimensions than the dome of the Basilicon of St. Peter's. Although unsupported by pillars, the weight of its material is more than 4,000 tons Jo afford room for the volumes of the library, there are three miles of book-cases and 25 miles of-shelving. Among the various saloons and' galleries of ancient art, is ono called the Anglo Roman, containing nu merous. Roman relics, excavated within the limits of London, and at testing to the importance of the city at so distant period as its occupy tion by.,Julius Cmsar, when Roman fortifications are said to have occu pied. the site of the Tower, and a ternpb.• consecrated to Diana, that of St. Paul's Cathedral. The immense size of seine of the specimens.of Egyptian and Assyrian statuary, is a matter'. of wonder. I saw here a foot and ankle carved from red stone; and apparently bro ken from the original etattle, which: were it Of brass, might well Answer for deolossus of Rhodes; other part+ of the ft:jot being of relative size, the big toP.alone measured eighteen inch es in length. One skilled in anatomi cal proportions, might readily give the dimensions of such. a statue. when standing entire : it is, easy to 'eonclude, on the principle of pede llerodi'»N that the whole work must have been an undoubted specimen of high art. The famous collection of Grecian seulpturelnown as, the Elgin Mar bles, is bete—and at' , the same time, clearly out of place. England was among the foremdst to cry - out against Napoleon, at his removal of various treasures of at t frot4 the c:mquered capitals of Europe to the g.illetie-; ofithe Louvre; but here are tine spPcimens of statuary- and per tions of the building itself, plunder ed from the Parthenon of Athens, that model of elegauee, the Most ad mired specimen of ancient art—and by what right I By none, save the permission of the-Turk, then in brief and wrongful possession of ttle Greek territory, acccirded. to Lord Elgin; English AmbassTurcir to, the Porte ; none but a Turk would have grant ed it, and he must have been but lit tle less who availed himself of it. The return of the -Elgin Marbles to the despoiled niches and columns of the Parthenon,' would be far more honorable tcK the British nation than the empty glory of their wrongful possession. Five or six large rooms are deviat ed to the Zoology cf all portions of the globe; one of time specimens ;is the African Gorilla, of which but one other is to be found in _Europe, at the ',lard in des Plantes in Paris. A number of other apartiuents contain the Geological Department, with its great variety of specimens of the fos sil remains, animal and ,vegetable, of past ages of the world. There are about 250 specimens of Meteorites— some with the date of their descent from unknown regions of the upper air duly recorded. Three of these, found in Tennessee,- are of the weigh. of from sth to GO pounds each ; while one, brought from the Argentine Re public in 1788, weighs 1400 pounds, and another fro rp Cranbourne, Aus tralia, no less than 8,200 pounds. —South of Kensington Gardens, (within which is 'Kensington Palace, the birth-place of Queen Victoria), and two miles west from ,Trs.faigar , Sari ire, is situated the South Ken t sington Museum. There is much of interest in its varied collections, but chiefly in its admirable paintings, the work for the most part of British ae:sts. Here are a number of the I,e4t - productions of Landseer, who wah probably unrivalled in his delin eations of animal life.* Dogs and horses seem to have been especially his forte;-and the prints we so often gaze upon, of wonderful canine ex pression, in "High Life and Low " Dignity 'and Impudence," Twa Dogsi" etc., here - find their admirable :.'originals ; in the tame department of animal life, never could anxiety and sorrow be more expressively depicted than iii " Sus pense" and the "Old Shepherd's Chief Mourner," two other paintings by the same master. In the gallery are also several of the most admired works of such artists as Eastlake, Wilkie..Maclise and Leslie; a fine prirtrait by Sir T. Lawrence, of Ben jamin West, and the great original painting by the latter, of "Christ Healing the Sick in the Temple.' . This picture, it is said, was intend ed by. the, painter as a gift to an' American hospital; but on its com pletion in England, it was so much admire& that - the strongest remon strances were made against its leav ing the country. West accordingly coniprOmised the matter by painting a copy, which is now in Philadelphia. The South Kensington Museum had its origin in the inunificent gift of a private individual to the British nation; for which the public may well be thankful; brit how can poetry ever enibalin ,his virtues under such a name as Sheepshanks ? —Another query nSt necessarily connected with the foregoing subjects_ is. 'Who owns London ? Its soil for the most part is held in fee by two individuals, the Marquis of . West minster and the Duke of Bedford ; the actual occuPants holding it on long leases, as is the case with a great part of the city of Philadelphia. The annual income of the Marquis is about $5,000,0001 and that of the Duke cannot be much less, as in some parts of his domain (the "East- End,") land is valned at £l5O the square foot; thus . in the vicinity of the Bank of England a lot 25 by 100 feet is itorth $375,000. Ownership is seldonfrtranbferred; in most cases titles are so burdened with entails, reserves and ineumbrances, that their mere examination involves great. expense, often amounting to thous ands of pound,!. . - C. C. P. ADVICE TO YOUNG MARRIED PEO PLE. Before marriage and afterward, let them learn to center all their hopes atis 6 l lasting happiness in their own fireside ; let them - cherish ale. faith that in home, and all the EA glislitirtues whielk the love of . home engenders, lies the only true source of domestic felicity.; let them believe that round the hgusehold gods con tentment and tranquility cluster in their gentlest and most graceful forms ; that many weary hunters of happiness through the noisy world have learnt this truth too, late, ,and founra cheerful ,spirit and a quiet mind only at. hotne at last. How much may depend on the education of daughters and the couduet o Mothers- z -how much of the bright est part of . our old, national charac ter may be perpetuated by their wis dom or frittered sway by their folly —how much of it may have been loit already, and hew much more in danger of vanishing evm.y day— are questions too weighty ,for discussion here, but well deserving a little cari ous consideration from all young couples,' , nevertheless. To , that one yqung couple on whose bright destiny the thoughts of nations are fixed, "may tho youth of England look; and not in vain, ,for an exarn ple. From tlfat one couple, blest and favored as they are, may they:: learn, that even the glare and glitter of a court, the ,splendor of a palace, and the pomp and glory of a t throne: vield in their ,power of conferring happiness to domestic worth and virtue. From that one young coup' le may they learn that the crown of a 'great empire-, costly and jeweled though it may be, gives place, in the estimation of a queen, to the plain g old hirm that links her woman's a tore to :that of tens of thousands of her humble subjects, and guards in her woman's heart' one secret store of tendernev, whose proudest boast shall be that it knows no royalty sa.vOlature's own, and no pride of birth but being the child of heaven! So Shall the highest couple in the land for once hear the truth, when men throw up their caps, and cry with loving shoots—God bless thew! —Charles Dickens. THE EVIL OF THE AGE. The world is all crazy, decidedly so. The call is for show—still showi. ['here is not one person in a thous and who dares to back ou thing but his real simple Self for power to get through the world, and extract enjoyment as he. goes along. There is too much living in the eyes of other people. There is no end to the aping, the mimicry, the false airs, and the superficial arts. • And until pe...ple take a new view of things eu- Vrely, and .resolve to turn a very short corner in order to live - obedi- - ently to such a-view, the world wil; go on as - it has been going for a very long time,,and all of-us will continue. to chase bubbles, only to see thein barst, mere water drops in our -hand's. It requires rare courage, we will admit, to live up to one's enlighten ed convictions in these times. Un less yon consent to join.in the genet al cheat, yon-are hooted and jostled out of reach. There is no room for you in the great mob of pretenders. If a man dares to live within means, and is re-ohne in his purpose not to appear more than what he really is,let him be' applauded.
