many years the fate of Chantrey to experience what most men of genius have more or less endured, the pains of hope deferred and expectations disappointed. I have sometimes heard him say, when recurring to the discouraging circumstances and the difficulties which he had to encounter when

young in art, and totally unknown beyond the place where he lived, that for upwards of six years, spent in his professional pursuits, he did not receive so many pounds."

It may be mentioned here, that there is, among the treasures in the house of Mr. Rogers, the poet, a table, with the ornaments by Chantrey, which was recognised, the story goes, by the great sculptor when dining one day at the house of the poet. Who made that table?" said Chantrey. The poet named the maker. "No, no," said Chantrey, "he did not make it, but I did; I was in his employment; I wrought those ornaments." Mr. Rogers directs the visitor's attention to the table in the MS. catalogue of his curiosities.

The marble woodcocks at Holkham, the plumage of which is not exceeded by any thing of Grinling Gibbons, form another memorial of the delicacy of Chantrey's chisel. These birds (the sculptor having first shot their originals), have given rise to several epigrams.

Chantrey's invention of the new pointing machine, an instrument used by sculptors for measuring statues, though lying in a subordinate line of art, is truly valuable, and far surpasses that discovered by Bacon, the artist, for its accuracy and rapidity. Chantrey was so pleased with his new instrument, that he caused correct working drawings to be prepared, and sent as a present to Canova, who acknowledged the benefit which such an instrument would confer on art, but he lamented that he could not find a head in Rome mechanical enough to comprehend the drawings.

Chantrey possessed a very choice and exquisite cabinet of sculpture, antiques, medallions, &c. It was an appropriate and affecting, though unpremeditated circumstance, that his dead body lay, at the coroner's inquest, amidst many of the finest forms of the ancient sculptors, of which he had collected the best casts that could be procured.

The mortal remains of this celebrated sculptor were consigned to their resting-place, at his native village, on the 6th of December. He built himself a vault on the north side of

the church in 1840. In the procession were, the Master Cutler of Sheffield, and the Members of the Company, the Town Trustees, and a deputation from the Literary and Philosophical Society of Sheffield, in four carriages. Next came three more private carriages; and about twenty miscellaneous vehicles from Sheffield and other places.

It does not appear that Sir Francis realized more than 50,000l. or 60,000l. This sum, except a few legacies, is settled upon Lady Chantrey for her life; with a reversionary interest to the Royal Academy in perpetuity, under trusteeship, the interest and profits to be expended in improving and enlarging the present modes of studying the arts, and for the purchase of the most valuable works of sculpture and painting that can be obtained, such works to be deposited in a public gallery for the improvement of general taste, and as models for the higher classes of artists. It has also been reported that 3001. per annum of the bequest is to be paid to the President of the Royal Academy in succession. To Mr. Allan Cunningham be has bequeathed the sum of 2000l. with a proviso that Mr. Cunningham shall remain in the exercise of his duties until the close of the establishment. To Mr. Henry Weekes he has left 1000l. on condition that he will complete the works in progress at the time of the testator's decease. To the parish of Norton he has bequeathed, after the death of Lady Chantrey, 2001. per annum, for so long as his tomb remains, to be applied thus: 50l. to be paid to a schoolmaster, to instruct ten poor boys of the parish without expense to their parents; 10l. per annum to each of five poor men and five poor women, either widows or single women; and the remaining 501. per annum to the vicar or resident clergyman, to preSir Francis Chantrey was a member of the Academy of St. Luke's, at Rome; D.Č.L.

"THE TONGUE OF TIME: OR, THE LANGUAGE OF A CHURCH-CLOCK."

WE select the following characteristics from the above work, to be reviewed in an early Journal:

One o'clock. This is a needful warning! It is but once in the day that its sound greets our ears. Its second warning comes in the dead of night. Few comparatively are the ears that hear it then: some children of pleasure at the fag end of their toil; some solitary bending over the lettered page, or taxing his overwrought brain; some anxious spirit watching by the curtains of sickness; some restless body tossing upon a bed of pain. To these the single stroke of time, perchance, may come at night; but to the rest of the world it speaks at noon-day, and whether for these or them, alike needful is the warning-"Watch."

Two o'clock.-Short is the lesson to which the hour of two calls our attention: and yet the Bible declares it to be the whole duty of man, and the summary of all instruc tion-" Fear God."

Three o'clock is a point of time consecrated by the burst of a dying Saviour's anguish. It was at this season that, in the yet lingering darkness, after He had been hanging in silent endurance for three hours, while the then speechless throng were still watching Him, He uttered those mysterious words, "Eloi! Eloi! lama sabachthani ?” Four o'clock.-The clock is striking four, and it comes somewhat softer to the fancy, when associated with this language of encouragement-"Be careful for nothing."

Five o'clock.-Not unsuitable is the Apostolic caution to the hour of Five. Whether it comes at the early dawn, or at the close of the day's work, when we are about to refresh our bodies with the day's meal, it greets us with equal appropriateness:-"The Lord is at hand," both actually and prophetically. In the former case, He comes to reign and judge; in the latter, He is nigh to overlook and provide.

Six o'clock.-Remember, that at this hour, the lifeless body of thy Redeemer was laid in its last earthly dwellingplace. Last! should we say? It was the only place that the Heir of all things had wherein to lay His head. "Why sleep ye? Rise and pray."

Seven o'clock.-It is in order that the reader may be enabled to realize the practical comfort of the Apostle's advice, that seven o'clock is supposed to summon him to prayer with these encouraging words: "Ask! and it shall be given you."

Eight o'clock.-Jesus Christ is the principle of our spiritual being: a truth which He himself expressed in these words-"I am the Vine, ye are the branches"of which eight o'clock may serve to remind us. *** At this hour, Jesus was on his road to Calvary. Dost thou believe this? Canst thou picture it by faith, and supply the cause of His anguish in thine own sins? Canst thou realize what followed as the ground of thy salvation? This is Faith, if the consequence be Love; for Love will make His sorrows thine, and His will thy law.

Nine o'clock.-By this hour, the great machinery of the world has been set in motion-the appointed tasks are commenced-the correspondence of the day has begun. these cares, remember, Christian, the warning of the Ninth Before, then, that thy head and heart are immersed in hour. The principle of victory is the true sequel to that of grace: for, if the latter is declared in the Saviour's own adds," and they that are Christ's have crucified the flesh." terms, "I am the Vine, ye are the branches," the Apostle

Ten o'clock reminds us of a time when a multitude of men were assembled before a cross. For one hour the suspended criminal had been enduring the anguish of this position in patient silence. Not one of that multitude

could tell wherefore he hung there, and yet many of the number rejoiced to witness his sufferings. But it reminds us also of another time, when another multitude was assembled to witness another scene. Was it not at this hour that Peter stood forth, to make known the firstfruits of a Saviour's death?

Eleven o'clock.-Christian, let this be the warning of the eleventh hour: "Redeem the time." Wonderful is the instance that it recalls of diligence at the eleventh hour! Wonderful and solitary the example of redeeming the time! About this hour it was, that the soul of a dying thief, as it fluttered upon the confines of eternity, saw, felt, and embraced the moment of the world's redemption. An opportunity of grace, single in the annals of time, presented itself; it was seized and secured; and he that had the faith to do it, is now reaping the reward. Whatever thy pursuit may be when this hour vibrates upon thine ear, let it check thee with the self-inquiry: Am I walking in wisdom towards the world? Am I redeeming the time? Twelve o'clock-Reader! we have arrived at the last hour, for though the divisions of Time travel in a circle, clocks will stop. With the Twelfth Hour, then, we will associate the touching but solemn image of the Apostle: "here have we no continuing city, but we seek one to come."

THIS is the commencement of the work announced by Mr. Grant, on his retiring from the editorship of the London Saturday Journal. It will consist of a series of pictorial and literary sketches, embracing the peculiarities of individuals, and the eccentricities of classes, but never outstepping the modesty of nature. The "Pictures" will be those of every-day life; such as are hourly to be met with, both in the crowded cities and the rural districts of the land. This is a prudent preference; for, to see man as he is, you must mingle in common life; there is too much caricature in the other phases to allow them to pass for "human nature;" and men are stamped with such strange forms by the mintage of wealth and power, as to undergo more transmutation than the alchemists ever dreamt of. Amongst the middle and humbler classes, Mr. Grant will assuredly find his best "Illustrations of Human Nature;" and the line

""Tis from high life high characters are drawn," promises little for the reader beyond its poetic jingle. To characterize the execution of these "Pictures" is a matter of delicacy, seeing that the author has spoken laudatorily of ourselves. Still we say, without fear of suspicion or contradiction, that the sketches before us have a sort of domestic interest, which will cause them to be sought after: they are, The Happy Husband; The Affectionate Mother; Street Musicians; and The Marriageable Man. There is a naturalness about all of them that will be acceptable to masses of readers; the Affectionate Mother is tinged with true pathos, while the Marriageable Man is drawn in that vein of easy humour with which the writer at once slides into the reader's good graces. Here is a specimen, which every one accustomed to general society may appreciate :—

considers, or affects to consider it an honour of the highest kind, to be permitted to assist the ladies to such of the luxuries on the table as may be most agreeable to their respective tastes; to fill their glasses when asked to drink wine; to hand them their tea or coffee, and so forth. All present, but especially the young ladies, look upon this as nothing more than his duty; and any failure in the proper performance of it would at once procure him a place, in their estimation, in the category of "brutes." At the piano-forte he is indispensable. He is just as necessary to turn over the leaves of the music-book, as is the book itself to her whose taper fingers sweep along the chords of the instrument. And when she has finished, something in the shape of praise from him is expected by her, and by every body else. In fact, the whole responsibility of the affair rests on his shoulders. It is not enough that he played the amiable while she was playing the piece; his duty does not end with hers. He must thank imperfect the execution, however barbarously, indeed, Moher for the treat she has afforded the company; and, however zart, or any other eminent master, may have been murdered by the fair fingers of the lady, he is bound to laud her per. formance to the echo. "Admirable!" "beautiful!" "delightful!" "charming!" and, for variety's sake, a host of other adjectives must be ever at the tip of his tongue, ready at a moment's notice to be poured forth with all the fluency of one who is actually in ecstacies with the performance. It is also his undeniable duty to put on shawls, and call coaches, whenever they may be required. If young Miss drops her pocket handkerchief, he alone has a right to pick it up, and politely hand it to her; and in order to give him an oppor tunity of doing this, the handkerchief is often purposely dropped. But it were an endless task to specify the various little duties which he has to perform. Of course, as beforementioned, they are all delightful to him; but even if they parties for whom they are performed, would convert them were in themselves irksome, the approbation of the fair into a pleasure.

"The marriageable man has often a delicate and even dan gerous game to play. In his anxiety to do the agreeable to the various misses with whom he associates, he must be care ful not to overact his part. There is a great risk of what he looks on as mere matter-of-course platitudes-such as he would address to any young lady-being taken for implied protestations of love. Even his most namby-pamby senti mentalisms, if their utterance be not regulated by the dictates of prudence, may be interpreted into something serious. Nor is it enough that he be exceedingly careful as to what he says; he must be cautious of saying a thing too often, which, when only advanced once or twice, cannot run any great danger of being tortured into an avowal of his affections. Illustrations of my meaning will occur to the minds of all who have miugled much in the society of young females. A mar riageable man, for example, may, with impunity, be ener getic on two or three occasions, in his praise of certain good qualities, personal, moral, or intellectual, which a particular young lady possesses, or for which, in the plenitude of his anxiety to please, he may give her credit, though he is conscious she does not possess them; but if he either deals out dose with frequency, he will eventually discover, unless his his commendation with a prodigal hand, or administers the copious commendation of her real or alleged virtues be followed up by the offer of his hand, that he has been bringing himself into a very unpleasant predicament. He will hear some afternoon, just as he is about, prompted by the impulses of a healthy and honest appetite, to sit down to pay his respects to an excellent dinner, a loud resolute knock at the door; and on the intruder ushering himself into his room, he will discover in his uninvited visitor, the brother of some lady on whom he had been lavishing his attentions and his praise. cowards of us all;" and before a word is uttered on the part "Conscience," let men say what they will, "does make of the intruder beyond the customary salutation of "Good morning, Mr. Marriageable Man," the object of his errand flashes on the mind of the other. He has come to demand to know what are his intentions towards his sister. The ap petite of the party addressed vanishes with the suddenness of

an apparition. The edibles on the table before him, which but a moment ago were so very tempting, that he could scarcely refrain from setting upon them while the servant was in the act of laying them on the table, now, as if touched by the wand of a magician, lose all their relish. He has no appetite for any thing on the table; he has dined on chameleon's fare.

None but those marriageable men to whom the question has been addressed, can have any conception of the awful impression which it produces. It lights upon a poor fellow who has no intentions, and never had any, with the confounding and stupifying effects of a thunderbolt. It unmans the stoutest heart; it is clothed with immeasurably greater terror than would be a whole legion of one's most inveterate enemies. It is only inferior in its terrible effects to the very ugly and uncivil question often asked by judges, with black caps on their heads, to some trembling complexionless criminal at the bar of the Old Bailey, as to what he has to say why a certain very unpleasant sentence should not be passed on him."

The streets and public haunts of the metropolis will yield Mr. Grant many studies; though we are glad to see that he will not remain "in populous city pent," but proposes to sketch in the country, where, assuredly, there are many originals that merit faithful copying. Every hamlet has such a personage; and often in some sweet secluded spot, may be found beautiful natures, which Diogenes, with a Bude light, might seek in vain in a crowded city there life is too often seen LL as through a glass darkened." To return to the "Pictures." Each sketch is illustrated with a large engraving; and, taken altogether, the work will, doubtless, be a very pleasant book to find in a parlour-window, or on a drawing-room table; and by its kindly spirit, may often tend to banish the recollection of those little désagrémens which will happen, &c.

into action in cases where all the worst passions of our nature -our hatred and revenge, and our self-interest-are set in motion. By fomenting public strife and kindling family dissensions-nay, by doing only a hundredth part of what it is in their power to do, our courts of justice would soon be doubled, together with the number of our judges, counsel, and attorneys; new jails must be built to hold the ruined litigants; and the insolvent debtors' court enlarged, and in constant session throughout the year."

We remember once telling a locksmith that his trade was a libel upon human nature-and the man's stare at the boldness of our philosophy. Now, Laws like Locks make men honest-the former by bringing knaves to book, and the latter by keeping out thieves. To return, this little book bears out its title; for it is worth a shilling, and may save the experience of many a pound's cost.

THE YEAR-BOOK OF FACTS IN SCIENCE AND ART,
FOR 1842.

To some readers of the London Saturday Journal it may be necessary to explain, that the present volume exhibits "the most important Discoveries and Improvements of the past year, in Mechanics and the Useful Arts, Natural Philosophy, Electricity, Chemistry, Zoology and Botany, Geology and Physical Geography, Meteorology and Astronomy." It is compiled "by the Editor of the Arcana of Science,'" of which work were published eleven annual volumes; and the present is the fourth Year-book of Facts. Now, the simple fact of a scientific "annual" extending through fifteen years, bespeaks much for the healthiness of the public taste, and thirst for scientific knowledge. Why! the series has outlived many a gay and gaudy annual, with fifty-guinea plates, rivulets of poetry, or rather eau sucrée, and tales of sickly sentimen

A SHILLING'S-WORTH OF SENSE, ON THE PHILOSOPHY tality, that for a few years delighted the children of a

OF EVERY-DAY LIFE.

THIS is an agreeable book for the waistcoat pocket, for which the Editor modestly claims little credit for originality, and acknowledges that his crystals have been taken from many a mine of thought. Be it so they are neatly set, or strung together, ranging from Absence to Woman; the latter making the curtsey, or "End." The book is not prosy, even in places, which is saying much for an ethical tome. If it be philosophy, it is sweetened with quips and pleasantries. We dipped for a specimen, and so we fished up a few shrewd remarks upon a class of men, whom we have always considered to be placed between two fires of society, without being really harmed by either; and the following picture of their position and general nature, is true to the letter: Lawyers.

"There will probably never be wanting those who will join in abusing and ridiculing attorneys and solicitors. Why? In almost every action at law, or suit in equity, or proceeding which may, or may not, lead to one, each client naturally cou ceives a dislike for his opponent's attorney or solicitor. If the plaintiff succeeds, he hates the defendant's attorney for putting him to so much expense, and causing him so much vexation and danger; and when he comes to settle with his own attorney, there is not a little heart-burning in looking at his bill of costs, however reasonable. If the plaintiff fails, of course it is through the ignorance and unskilfulness of his attorney or solicitor; and he hates almost equally his own and his opponent's attorney. Precisely so is it with a successful or unsuccessful defendant. In fact, a lawyer is almost always obliged to be acting adversely to some one of whom be at once makes an enemy; for an attorney's weapons must necessarily be pointed almost invariably at our pockets! Were not, however, the vast majority of legal men honourable and able, the effects would be most disastrous; for they are called

larger growth, and then faded, silk bindings and all, into
oblivion. Still, as the Year-book is our own offspring, we
are not about to sound its praise; but merely to mention
that among the several hundred New Facts recorded in
this volume, are included notices of the most important
Steam-ships constructed during the year; Railway Im-
provements; Calculating Machines; large Ships; new
Lighthouses, (somewhat numerous); the progress of Great
Public Works; improved methods of Lighting and Heat-
ing. Next are the Researches in Terrestrial Magnetism,
and on the Tides and Waves. The Electrical Science is
copious in proportion to the increased applications of
Electricity, hastening to rival those of Steam itself: and
the Electro-metallurgic processes are numerous; as are
also the Photographic details, and Chemical processes,
generally. In Natural History, as Zoology and Botany,
are many very interesting facts; and the Geological Phe-
nomena, especially the records of Earthquakes, and Fossils
At
discovered in the year, are as attractive as numerous.
p. 238, in this division, are some facts related by Captain
Veitch, F.G.S. attesting the great constancy of the stream
of Icebergs which now passes southward along the cast
margin of the Bank of Newfoundland. In March and
April, Capt. Veitch believes that vessels sailing between
England and New York, will cross this great stream of
icebergs; and consequently, the navigation must be there
very dangerous. When the steam-boats were first intro-
duced between this country and North America, Capt.
Veitch feared some fatality would arise in the above sea-
son, in dark weather, owing to the velocity of the boats.
That we have not heard of losses of sailing-vessels striking
on the ice in the locality named, will be explained by the
fact, that it can hardly ever happen that a soul escapes to
tell the melancholy tale! Capt. Veitch then specifies six

localities where icebergs have been seen, two of which are identical in latitude and longitude; and this locality is on the edge of the bank, where some charts only record twenty-four fathoms water; and where, consequently, great icebergs must inevitably strike the bottom. These facts acquire a melancholy interest from the missing President steam-ship being, by many persons familiar with the navigation of the Atlantic, supposed to have struck on the Newfoundland ice. In a previous page, it is stated that the President received for her nine voyages £25,234.6s. 7d.; expenses, £21,833. 3s. 7d.; showing an average profit per voyage of £1,350. 7s. 8d.

Notwithstanding its scientific details, the Year-book is far from a dry, uninviting volume; the majority of the facts relate to common life, and there are few which it is not important to know. In fine, the object of the work is well expressed in its motto, from Sir Charles Lemon's address to the Cornwall Polytechnic Society: "We do not attempt to range through the loftier regions, but to catch the drops as they fall, and thus apply them to the common purposes of life. Thus, Science becomes not merely a luxury to the rich, but bread to the poor."

The volume is illustrated with cuts, and a Portrait of the lamented Dr. Birkbeck, in memorial of the unremitted exertions of this philosopher and philanthropist, in the advancement of popular knowledge; "for the happiness as well as the enlightenment of the people ever lay next to the heart of this truly excellent man."

Varieties.

Great Actors. Cumberland used to boast, in private society, that he had seen three of the greatest actors England ever produced, perform three of their most popular characters,Garrick, in Leon; Henderson, in Falstaff; and Cooke, in Iago. Cumberland gave Cooke the preference, and declared to the

end of his life that he was the best actor.

Odd Address.-The Bishop of Chichester, when he resided on Star Green, wrote to a fishmonger in London, dating his letter, Star Green, and signing it as usual, J. Cicest. The fishmonger, not comprehending the rank of his customer, and to save himself the trouble of writing, had the following direction stamped roughly on a label, and tied to the baskets: "J. Cicest esq m p Star Green Battle Sussex;" and several baskets were sent thus addressed.

Cold Rain.-In New Holland, the violent tropical rains are so cold, that some of Governor Grey's exploring party, on the rain setting in, got into the Glenelg river, the waters of which were comparatively warm: and they thus saved themselves from the painful feeling caused by very cold water falling on the pores, which had been previously opened by profuse perspiration. By the way, one single heavy shower of only a few hours' duration, bas, in the above region, washed down a bed of sand nearly five inches deep, which the succeeding showers have again swept off further toward the sea.

Morning.

Beauteous thy blue uprising, mist-robed morn;
All thy bright glittering of fantastic dews

With their thin tissue silkening the green meads,
And all thy music of blithe leaves that dance

In the caressing breeze, and matin's grey From all the living woodland; sleep is pleased To be so sweetly banished her soft reign. But dreary are thy sounds, and sad thy light On the lewd wassail, riot, orgies rude, Polluting day with sights that shame dark night.-Milman. Substitute for Potatoes.-The South American Yam has lately been introduced at the Cape of Good Hope, where, owing to the bad quality of the potatoes, and their great fluctuations in price, the Yam will eventually be very serviceable to the colonists, more especially for the use of whalers.

THE EMBLEM OF LOVE.

(From the French; by R. A. Davenport.)
By thee, on the sand of this shore,
Our ciphers in union were traced;
But the fugitive billows rolled o'er,
And the writing was quickly effaced.
Yet thy emblem of love, though so frail
That the waters soon swept it away,
Not so soon, O thou false one! did fail,

As the passion 'twas meant to display. Honesty. Calling on the printer-subscribing for his paper and paying for a year in advance.—American Paper. A Heavy Rib.-The Maumee Express speaks of a man from Connecticut, whose wife is so fat that he was obliged to make two loads of her when he emigrated.

New Gold Coin.-A new five pound gold piece, the produc tion of William Wyon, Esq. R.A., is about to be issued from the Mint, which, for chasteness of design and beauty of execution, is said to exceed any thing that has preceded it. The head of the Queen is clearly and carefully defined; and on the reverse, Mr. Wyon has happily identified her Majesty with the exquisite fable of Una guiding the Lion.-Gentleman's Magazine.

Poor Tom Dibdin lies in the burial-ground of St. James's,
Pentonville, close by the grave of his old friend Grimaldi.
A Reflection at Sea.

See how, beneath the moonbeam's smile,
Yon little billow heaves its breast,
And foams and sparkles for a while,

And murm'ring then subsides the rest. Thus man, the sport of bliss and care, Rises on Time's eventful sea; And having swelled a moment there, Thus melts into eternity. T. Moore. Consolations in Travel.-Governor Grey, in his Narrative of his recent Australian Expedition, relates the following instance of the power of religion over difficulties, which cannot be too strongly insisted on. His position and prospects had become alarming, and he was undecided as to which of three plans he should adopt; but he determined not to decide hastily, and in order more fully to compose his mind, he sat down and read a few chapters in the Bible. "By the influence these imparted," observes he, "I became perfectly contented, and again rising up, pursued my way along the beach to the party.

It

may be here remarked by some, that these statements of my attending to religious duties are irrelevant to the subject, but in such an opinion I cannot at all coincide. In detailing the sufferings we underwent, it is necessary to relate the means by which those sufferings were alleviated; and after having, in the midst of perils and misfortunes, received the greatest consolation from religion, I should be ungrateful to my Maker not to acknowledge this, and should ill perform my duty to my fellow men, did I not bear testimony to the fact, that under all the weightier sorrows and sufferings that our frail nature is liable to, a perfect reliance upon the goodness of God, and the merits of our Redeemer, will be a sure refuge and a certain source of consolation." This is true religion, and will serve us far beyond the varnished conceits of false philosophy; and the fact of the writer of the above remarks being Governor of South Australia, speaks much for the wel fare of the colony.-ED. L. S. J.

The Elgin Marbles cost the late Earl of Elgin, £74,000, of which he barely received one-half from Government; so that Lord Byron's imputation upon the Earl of a mercantile spirit in the transaction is unjust.

Olden Charity.-On April 14, 1265, Eleanor, countess of Leicester, third daughter of King John, fed at Odiham Castle, eight hundred paupers, who consumed, inter alia, "three quarters of bread and a tun of cider."
