night of my election, the King of Naples (who honoured Rome with his presence for a fortnight) received his honorary degree, in common with all the other Sovereigns of Europe: and I am happy to say the Duke of Wellington is one also. West, Fuseli, Lawrence, Flaxman, and myself, are the only British artists belonging to St. Luke's as academicians. This institution is upwards of three hundred years standing. Raffaele, the Caraccis, Poussin, Guido, and every great master that we esteem, were members. I had the high gratification to see my name enrolled in the list of these illustrious characters. I expect to be in England by Christmas desirerit. I shall have indeed a great deal to tell you. I Naples-staid ten days-went to Portici, Herculaneum and Pompeii, and ascended Mount Vesuvius. This was a spectaclethe most awful and grand that I had witnessed: the fire bursting ing every two minutes, and the noise with it like thunder; red hot ashes came tumbling down continually where I stood sketching, many of which sketches I brought away, and different pieces of the old lava, which I hope to shew you. The eruption took place a week or two after I left. But Pompeii exhibits now the most extraordinary remains of antiquity in the world: a whole city is laid open to view-as the carriages went in one track, the marks of the wheels are distinctly seen on the stones; the habitations are unroofed, but in other respects quite perfect. The house of Sallust, the Roman historian, was particularly gratifying to me: unaltered, and in every respect (except the furniture, which I think was removed to Portici) the same as it was eighteen hundred and fifty years ago, when inhabited by him. There are many shops: in one, the amphora, which held wine, is curious, and the marks of cups they used upon the slab are distinctly seen; a milk-shop, with the sign of a goat, is perfectly preserved, with the vessels in the front room, and other shops in the same state. Rome has been a scene of the utmost gaiety lately, during the stay of the King of Naples. I was at three splendid balls given at the different palaces: we were obliged to appear in court-dresses, and the cardinals added much to the richness and splendour of the party. The ladies looked peculiarly striking, but they did not wear hoops as in the English court. There were French and English dances, and the fireworks surpassed all my expectations. Upon the whole, the entertainments were very novel and very delightful. I am to be presented to the Pope; Cardinal Consalvi will fix the day, it is sup posed 2d or 3d of next month, and I leave Rome the day after-a day that I most sincerely dread, for I am become so attached to the place and the people, I shall have a great struggle with myself. I should be the most ungrateful of human beings if I did not acknowledge the endless favours they have bestowed on me. It is the place of all others for an artist, as he is sure to be say that, till within a very short period of his death, it was not thought necessary to call for the aid of the highest medical skill. Mortification had then commenced, and all human assistance was too late. Without meaning a reproach of any kind to the persons who did attend his latest hours, it must ever be a source of heavy regret that he breathed his last without having the advantage of any treatment superior to that which the knowledge of an Apothecary suggested, or the consolation of any relative about his tioned in this letter, and the original finished dying bed.

On the Tuesday week after his decease, which took place on the 4th of February, the remains of this distinguished artist were buried in the vault of St. James's his nearest relatives, and Artists, among Church, and the funeral was attended by whom we only particularize Sir William Beechey, to record that he, with a spirit truly liberal, offered his services, gratuitously, and unsolicited, to finish the portraits which his lamented young friend had left in an unfinished state. It was rumoured that Mr. Harlow would have been admitted at once to the Royal Academy, had he survived a few months; but, on inquiry, we find that no such measure was ever contemplated, or could take place, consistently with the laws by which that body is governed. to the realization of that vision which had glowed impor In person, Mr. H. was slight and wellproportioned his countenance remarkably youthful, and his manners mild and pleasing. Auburn hair, and an almost boyish look, added to the wonder which his productions never failed to excite, and to the admiration of his superlative talents. Of his endowments, unconnected with the art which was his sole study and delight, we may speak more highly than could be expected. His judginent on the lighter literature of the day, on the drama and acting, was dictated by a fine taste and a sound mind. In conversation he was generally agreeable, and frequently entertaining, from little sallies of wit and humour, which enliven argument and discussion. He loved music, and entered into all the amusements of polished society with a relish which seemed rather to belong to an idle than an industrious life, and an ease not often found in studious men. There is an unobtrusive The disorder with which Mr. Harlow was attacked, did not at first threaten any consequence more serious than a few days confinement to the house. It was an attack of cynanche parotidea, or what is vulgarly known by the name of the mumps. Unhappily, it seems to our apprehension, from perhaps an anxiety to get rid of so unpleasant an outward appearance, at an important period for active exertion, the disease was checked and thrown inward. It speedily assumed a very dangerous aspect, the glands and throat being so completely swollen and ulcerated as to preclude the possibility of administering nourishment of any kind, and even of utterance. In this dreadful state the dying Artist lay for several days, endeavouring to express his wishes by writing living, and a sincere mourner for the on scraps of paper; and it is lamentable to | dead. portrait of him in the back-ground of his picture of the Kemble family, which we think might be singled from the group for an interesting engraving. We have now closed our task. Posterity will do justice to his memory, and we trust that it will suffer no hurt from this sincere and just tribute of a warm friend of the fair companion; but the antique elm, which | sides, who was to blame but myself? What boasts continually of unbounded prosperity, as in the cases of the very pieces above enumerated, when in fact and in truth they were losing and ruinous failures. Irritated by the delays and impediments, Mr. Bucke addressed a letter to Mr. Kean, in January last, to which the latter returned a wellwritten and sensible answer. He affirms that he has "nothing to do with the management of the theatre," which, though it may be technically true, is clearly morally false; and promises, for his own sake, to make the most of the materials allotted to him, should The Italians be acted. Soon after this, Miss Porter's Switzerland was brought out, and Mr. Kean walked through the hero, in a way that drew considerable disapprobation upon him. For ourselves, though we blamed that want of proper exertion, we participated a little in his feelings, that no efforts which he could make, would postpone the fate of the drama. It, however, affected Mr. Bucke's nerves so strongly, that he immediately withdrew his tragedy, which is, nevertheless, to be acted next week, and we withhold those opinions which we had committed to paper on perusing it, but which would, at present, be injudicious. The grand fracas is more amusing though less poetical, and we turn to it. (Sequel to Assignations in the Regent's Park.) I was so delighted with the escape of the fair (then) incognita, that I forgot the book which I held in my hand; and I found, ron losing sight of the intended traditore, hothat I had also lost sight of it. I searched about in vain for many minutes, and was prepared for putting up with my loss, when a very modest, down-cast-eyed, well dressed female accosted me, and inquired if the volume which she held in her hands beFard longed to me. I answered in the affirma tive, and thanked her very heartily for her attention and condescension. She presented the book, and made me a curtesy with a peculiar studied grace-I thought a little theatrically. "A celebrated actress!" shrewdly remarked I to myself, as I took the publication from her elegantly extended arm. She paused, and then addressed me thus: 'Sir, your age and gentleman-like appearance (I wished that she had confined her self to the latter) encourage a very young and inexperienced woman (she can be no actress thought I) to throw herself on your protection, and humbly to solicit a favour.' "Speak, lady," said I, but I thought her a mendicant yet superbly dressed as far as mourning costume can go! I came here,' said she, 'to meet an unfortunate sister, who has disobliged my father by inarrying against his consent. He - will neither see her nor her husband; and he has forbidden all intercourse betwixt us. I know that the young couple are in pecuniary distress, and I came here to relieve them (no beggar, thought I, quite pleased.) My sister was late; and the sun has gone down. I have been pestered and pursued by a ruffian' (here she turned round.) "Describe him," said I, perhaps it is the disappointed Rake? (the description did not answer.) Might 1,' continued she, 'be allowed to walk by your side until I get into the streets ?" "Surely, fair lady; and do me the honour to accept my arm; old age is always a protection; and you shall find me ready to defend you if the case require it." She bowed gracefully. "You merit," added I, " a younger and a handsomer beau; but a more honest one you cannot get" (another graceful inclination of the head.) Sir, resumed she, 'attachment is the price of protection; gratitude is the forerunner of regard.' (Very prettily spoken, thought I; it is now dusk, and she jakes me for ten or twelve Fears younger.) Yes," replied I, grown a little more sentimental than usual; "but the rose twines not round the storm-struck and withered elm." True, rejoined my is not withered, may shelter the rose; and she may grow under his protection, and look up to him with the smile of gratitude and of sympathy.' " Hem," said I, can she be smitten? 'My name,' said she, 'is Maria Mortimer, the daughter of Mr. Montagu Mortimer, a stern but worthy man, who lives in Harley Street; I must slip unperceived into my room, if you will conduct me to the corner of the street; but if you will call on me to-morrow about two or three o'clock, mainma, who has a feeling heart, and knows of my meetings with my sister, will thank you in person for the protection afforded to her daughter.' "Thanks! I require none," said I, (feeling a vibration from her fingers on my arm, which discomposed my usual coldness and gravity, and giving her my card) "but I shall think myself honoured in improving the acquaintance of SO ing a charm young lady." Here her eyes met mine, and I lost in the encounter. We were now in Portland Place. I could have wished that we had been two miles off. I became silent, and experienced regret at the idea of parting. We were at the corner of Harley Street. I grew dejected and forlorn-we separated. I kissed her hand, gloved like a covered relic. I felt as I have not felt for twenty years. It is the assignations which have disturbed me! answered a secret voice, 'it is the flatter ، No, ing accents of the lady. I began to wonder how I had remained single so long. Was it possible, that this adventure should change my lot? I pulled up my cravat, and was sorry for my grey hairs. "There is a vegetable dye," said 1. , I was now at my door. The words of the incognita still echoed in my ear. I was too late for dinner! What to do? send off an apology, plead indisposition, dress, dine in the corner of Long's, observe the animalculi of fashion and of extravagance, slip into the English opera incog, view the eccentricities there-the wanderings of modern taste. But first-must dress: no, first-must write the excuse. I did so. "A taper, John." 'Twas brought, -I must seal my letter, my family repeater had disappeared, I put my hand in my pocket, -there was an aching void there! I ordered my servant to take a note to Miss Maria Mortimer in Harley Street, whilst I dressed. No such person was to be found! At my age, to be thus duped, was too bad. There is no fool like an old fool, cried I, in a rage. I looked ten years older whilst putting on my cravat; but I called in philosophy to my aid, and pursued my dining and evening plan, Carefully did I conceal this secret from my acquaintances; but, as its disclosure may benefit others, I owe it to my readers, and I give it, not unblushingly, under the anonyme of the Hermit. Woman's power over me was greatly weakened for a fortnight. But yet all women are not counterfeits. Still do I consider woman as nature's fairest work the very master-piece of the creation. Be has old age to do in lover's haunts? What business had prying curiosity with assignations, and with the tricks of youth, at the tranquil time of life so happily reached by THE HERMIT IN LONDON. THE DRAMA. KING'S THEATRE. - On Saturday Figaro; and Angrisani confirming our prophecy of improvement. A new Ballet succeeded: a graceful bagatelle, in which the sole inthe purchase of six female slaves by an Eastern Prince, who wearied of familiar seiks and foreign beauty, each of the slaves exhibits in the dance of her country, with the scale descending instead of rising, from the graceful bolero of Spain to the graceless nondescript of England, in which Milanie displayed a fearful abundance of footing and action. Had we seen it in Les Anglaises pour rire, we should have laughed; but in Les Marchand d'esclaves we not only applauded but encored it (the Prince seemed of a similar taste, and the dancer was presented with the handkerchief.) The second act consisted of a glittering proin which cession, and some elegant dancing, Vestris displayed an energy that was loudly commended; and Milanie, after having "stooped to conquer," rose to her former altitude. The dresses, new and very elegant, were Turkish: those of the females, in graceful compliance with the Turkish costume, divested of that stiffening which recalls the remembrance of the frightful hoop. MESSRS. BUCKE AND KEAN. This has been a dramatic week of little novelty and of no interest, if we except the grand dispute between Mr. Kean and Mr. Bucke, the author of a neglected Tragedy. As this is not only an important affair in Cockneyshire, but really of some consequence to the Stage, we may be expected to offer a few remarks upon it, which we do with as much impartiality as if we were the judges on a trial by battel, in which each party belaboured his opponent with a sand-bag, according to the law of the land touching plebeians in such mortal fray. And, by the by, should this matter lead to any thing like fighting, as the great actor, having no fear of the Bow Street officers before his eyes, has been desperate enough to send a challenge by the Morning Post, we would advise a sand-bag encounter; for Kean is too formidable a name for swords, and his rival must at pistols be fearful in the shape of Buck-shot. It appears by a preface to the play, which has been published, that it was presented to the Sub-Committee, of notorious fame, in Nov. 1817. They were so pleased with it, that they voted the author free of the house, "the highest honour they could bestow," with liberty to pick up as much instruction and amusement as he possibly could in it, and promised to bring out his Tragedy with, "prodigious!" their "whole strength!" It was accordingly announced in the bills, but postponed on various pretences-first, to make way for the Bride of Abydos, whose theatrical honeymoon was so horribly abridged;-next, for the comedy of the Castle of Glendower, which Mr. Kean, in his infinite judgment, pronounced to be equal to the School for Scandal, but which a blind public would not hear out even one night; and then for the Jew of Malta, in which there were such fine wholesome work for the unit and nothing for the ciphers. These being speedily doomed, The Italians, Mr. Bucke's piece, was again put in motion; and the author asserts, that Mr. Kean hinted to him that "the character of Manfredi was too much in his line" (Manfredi is a terrible rogue!)-" that the Blind Man was too good" (this was too bad)-" that the Page would excite too much interest" (an usurious sin, quite repugnant to this principal)-and " that no one should write a tragedy for that house, without making the entire interest centre in the character He should perform" (so willing to do all the drudgery!) Mr. B. further adds, that on mentioning this conversation to a person concerned with the management, his opinion was so coincident, that he observed, most of the performers were aware of Mr. Kean's jealousy of Miss Kelly, and her playing the part of Scipio would cause him to throw up that of Albanio immediately. Non obstat, the play was rehearsed, and a few frivolous alterations made to fit it to the critical tastes of the actors and actresses who were to support it, and who una voce protested that the plot was an excellent plot, and The Italians a very pretty poem. After such profound persons determine, we dare not question the fact. Yet this "beautiful poem" had somehow an underhand factious opposition to contend with, and King John began to be talked of as a forthcoming play. The Author, very naturally ascribing the ruin of Drury to the nonperformance of his production, now tells us that "the benches were deserted; and the treasury was losing nearly 2001. every night." Indeed Mr. P. Moore seems to countenance this report, so different from the Reports at the general meetings, for he writes to Mr. B. "In respect to your tragedy, I regret, very grievously, that it was ever allowed to be superseded by the Jew of Malta; because I think it would have been productive to our treasury: whereas the Jew has not; neither has Richard Duke of York; nor King John; nor indeed any thing brought forward last season by Mr. Kean. The theatre is in a strange condition," &c. Truly it seems so, for from this letter it is clear that poor Mr. Moore, whom so many persons called tyrant, was merely the slave of Mr. Kean, who brought forward all the plays acted, and connived at all the rank falsities told of their success at the time, now thus peremptorily contradicted under the hand of the most compe a On Mr. Bucke's publishing his charge against Mr. Kean, the latter replied in very imprudent and offensive letter, in which he not only forgets Mr. Bucke, Mr. Moore, and the theatre, but himself. It is indeed a hasty and passionate, and therefore ill-advised production. We are not among the most enthusiastic admirers of Mr. Kean as an actor, and will therefore abstain from comments which might savour of still greater disrespect to him as a gentleman or a man. But it is impossible to refrain from saying that he treats Mr. Bucke, and through him, Mr. Moore, the performers, and the public, in a manner as outrageous as if he had fancied he were still playing the Dwarf of Naples, instead of being Mr. Edmund Kean, out of theatrical stilts. He begins by giving the lie from Shakspeare, and ends by a sort of challenge, if any sort of challenge might be conveyed by public advertisement. But it is his personal insults to the Author which honourable minds must feel to be most disgusting. He styles him "Mr. deranged intellect," says that Mr. Moore, "excited, with some ability, my personal compassion for Mr. Bucke, in consequence of which I undertook to act in his play;"-and, finally, that on reading it in the green room to his professional brethren, "the only feelings it excited were uncontrollable laughter, and pity for the Author." It is astonishing that any man of common sense could so grossly commit himself as in these three passages. Of Mr. Bucke we know nothing but through his works, and with the Philosophy of Nature, 2 vols. published by Mr. tent authority. And this teaches us to re- Murray in 1813, and Amusements in Retiremark on the folly of that silly system of ment, published by Mr. Colburn last year, delusion to which Mr. Moore is also a party. from his pen, now lying on our table What can be thought of a concern which before us, and the greater portion of - women, as which we have read with instruction and pleasure, we will venture to say, that he is not a person who deserves to be treated with neglect by the world, and far less with contumely by Mr. Kean. His volumes display a mind deeply enriched with classical literature, an observant spirit, and a talent for employing these advantages of no mean order. It has also been told us, but we would not repeat it unless sanctioned by Mr. Bucke's own statements, that misfortunes in life added another claim to that sympathy which eh struggling merit inspires :Mr. Kean was far wrong to throw a shameful taunt on such a man in such a situation. As for the miserable portrait, of Mr. Moore exciting with some ability (it is hardly credible) the personal compassion of an actor to do his bounden duty, and that actor consenting "in consequence," it is, considering their relative situations, too ludicrous and contemptible for any strong feeling:and with regard to the uncontrollable laughter and pity" of the Company in the Green Room, it is a story, if true, very little to their credit. Laughter and Pity do not go well together in any case, but here they would be indeed a monstrous and odious union. Is it endurable that such a parcel of drivellers and (generally speaking) are seen on the boards of Drury Lane, should have it in their power to blast the fruits of genius by their ill-timed ribaldry? We can fancy the scene -Kean burlesquing the best passages of the unfortunate play, on which only the happiness of a man of talent, and of his wife and children, depended, and the parasitical idiots round him echoing the laugh which such sport created. We shall have other sorts of sentiments at their charity dinner on Friday (yesterday,) and those very amiable creatures who thus revelled in the fun of an author's disappointment and wretchedness, will tell us, in all the cant of sensibility, of their own deserts, sufferings, and claims on humane consideration! Into Mr. Bucke's reply to Kean's letter we cannot enter. It states strong facts, and draws pretty incontrovertible inferences. It also invites the other performers implicated to clear themselves; but this they have not, as far as we know, yet done. Their dependence on the Theatre, and the theatre ruled by the party accused, is perhaps a sufficient ground for conjecturing why they have acquiesced each in their share of the obloquy. Some trifling tumults have ensued at the theatre, but on Mr. Kean professing to be ready if he had offended the public to humble himself to it, his friends and the Wolves" carried him through. He has really a severe task to execute. The Caricature represented him with the house on his back, and now he has also got the writers for it on his shoulders, - too much for an Atlas to bear, We wish, for his own sake, he had not written the letter; but still it must be remembered that there was great irritation and soreness, which if they do not excuse may extenuate his offence. And, moreover, it is so genuinely theatrical, and out of all the rules いい 1. of real life, that we could wish to persuade | wich, or the Whale Island of Mackenzie, ourselves that it is rather a piece of rant than the dictate of sober reflection. If the latter, not all the drunkenness of pride, inflated by unexpected and undeserved prosperity, could plead its apology, and he would merit all the reprehension conveyed to us in some lines by a correspondent, which, deeming eeming too severe, we only use, for a conclusion, the last four: Tho' littleness, fitting his soul to his frame, VARIETIES.

LORD BYRON.-Public curiosity is a good deal excited by the announcement of a Prose Tale by this celebrated writer, entitled "THE VAMPYRE," which will appear in the next Number of the NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. The origin of this production is rather curious. It was proposed in a Literary Circle that each of the company present should write a Tale, depending upon some supernatural agency, which was undertaken by Lord Byron, the daughter of the celebrated Mr. Godwin, and a certain Physician. The tale of Miss Godwin has already appeared under the title of Frankenstein. METEOROLOGICAL JOURNAL. MARCH. Abbas Mirza, Crown Prince of Persia, - is one of the most remarkable men of our times. He was born in the year 1782, and very body expects great changes when he cends his father's throne. His intercourse with learned Europeans; his speaking the English and French languages very fluently; is introduction of the European military Jystem and discipline, and forming on that system a body of about 10,000 infantry, thand a considerable corps of artillery; and other measures, display a mind of no common order. Abbas Mirza is not a mere oldier, but his finer qualities render him still more worthy of the throne. Moritz Von Kotzebue relates the following honourable anecdote of him: - "The Russian Ambassador," says he, "perceived in the garden belonging to the Prince, a projecting corner of an old wall, which made a very ugly contrast with the rest, and disfigured the prospect. He asked Abbas Mirza why he did not have it pulled down." 'Only think,' replied the Prince, 'I have bought this garden from several proprietors in order to make something magnificent; the proprietor of the place where the wall Sunday, 21.-Thermometer from 36530 projects, is an old peasant, the only person who positively refused to sell me his piece of land, as he would not part with it for any Thursday, 18-Thermometer from 29 to 51.
