      says , this omission in his previous despatch . This cut the foundation from the edifice of ill opinion which had been but the work of a few days , or indeed of a few hours , not to build , but to inflate ; and the affair bein < r now comparatively forgotten , except , of course , in military circles , the publication of Colonel A dye ' s "work must necessarily appear to be a Jew days too late . To all , however , who are professionally curious as to the strategic difficulties of Windham ' s position on those miserable days , with his four hundred and fifty soldiers and forty-seven sailors , will derive pleasure from the unaffected statement of the gallant author , who was assistant-adjutant general , and give him every credit for the affectionate regard for n comrade ' s fair fame which induced him to step forward as its champion . In his

      own words , " The object with which this account has been drawn up is to relate plainly the anxieties and responsibilities of General Windham ' s position ; to explain also the reasons of his attacking the enemy in the open field on the first day ; of liis defence of the city on the second ; and of his arrangements for protecting the entrenchment and bridges on the third . If this account should tend to remote certain erroneous impressions which appear to have been formed on the subject , probably from a want of knowledge of details , the object in view will have been fully accomplished . " We may take it , therefore , from the above hints , that our author appeals rather ad clerum than adpopulum . Upon the professional points involved we have small pretensions to offer our criticism—rfrom the other points of view indicated . Colonel Adye ' s pages are welcome .

      THE SCHOLAR AND THE TROOPER . The Scholar and the Trooper ; or , Oxford during the . Great Rebellion . By tie Rev . W . E . Heygate , M . A . J . Parker . The author has successfully aimed at " making that portion of history embraced by-the above tale more living to the reader . " He has endeavoured to clothe the framework of a story with a faithful representation of the views , conversation , manners , and customs of the time—to take the reader of today , in fact , behind the scenes of history . We have numerous chronicles of the time , both printed and JVIS ., from which it has 'frequently struck us that both the novelist and dramatist of our day might draw more liberally than it has occurred , to tliem to do , and we are obliged to Mr . Heygate for the interesting realization he has afforded to a lon < £ -eherisliefl literary

      project . He could have chosen no centre of operations so neb in material of all kinds as the city of Oxford . He has grouped his characters in arid around the old city in so natural a manner as almost to conceal the romancer ' s art ; and the unaffected style of the language he has adopted is a deviation from the traditional custom of those who have taken to illustrate the time of the civil wars , and no doubt much facilitated his labour of love . The action takes place between the date of the royal entry on the 14 th of July , 1643 , and the capitulation on the 20 th of June , 1 ( 346 , and comprises the sieges of 1644 and 1 G 45-6 , under Fairfax . It was a stirring period , and those who can face old books may spend many a pleasant hour over the minute records of it from which Mir . Heygate has drawn his facts . But such as insist upon taking their modicum of history in disguise—and tosueh only he author appeals—will find the agreeable and the useful in his page ? .

      Music. Tub London Air Is Vocal With The ...

      MUSIC . Tub London air is vocal with the concerts and operas that pervade it in all directions . Formerly these entertainments were confined to the Court portion of the town , but now we have " opera here—opera iliere—opera everywhere . "

      The musical event of the week is the reappearance of Signor Tabibeulik at the Royal , Italian Opera , Covknt Garden , in Rossini ' s Otello . He was heartily greeted , and he appears in full power and health . He produced in the duet with Tago the usual extraordinary effect by the production of the high chest notes , for which he is remarkable . He was encored in the " L'ira d ' averso fato , " and repeated his tour de force with unabated power . In the lower tones his -voice seems to have suffered a trifle , but the higher are as pure and marvellous as ever . Sisjnor ] £ onconi was as great as ever in Iago , and that ia tantamount to saying the part was as finely performed as it whs possible . His demoniacal , joy as he sees his victim raging beneath his vindictiveness , is worthy of the greatest actor ; and his musical expression is equally fine . Madame Grisi ' s Desdemona is still beautiful . The mounting of the opera was highly picturesque and truthful . At Heu Majesty ' s Theatre , the reappearance of- the celebrated danseuse Madame Uosati has "been the great event . Being essentially a dramatic dancer , and possessed of great powers of pantomimic expression ,

      Madame Rosati appeared m an act of Aubek s ballet of La Sonnarnbzite , a subject whicli hns been so successfully illustrated by music , the drama , and by dancing . Madame Rosati tsikes an cqy . nl stand ! with her musical and dramatic Tivals , and gives to the hapless Amina sin expression touching and remarkably interesting . The season is drawing towards a close , that is , as regards the subscriptions ; but Don . Giovanni , the incomparable musical opera after all , and La Zlngara are being prepared , the yipsy of gipsies , is to be . "personated by Alboni . The concerts are bewildering 1 , not only for their number but their sameness ; we recollect Herr Joachim ' s performance of Tabtini ' s "Le Sonj : e du Diable ;" but then at what concert , or rather at which concert , did we not hear it so wonderfully , so diabolically played . Where did Madame Viakdot Garcia execute —for if actual voice be the test she scarcely sings—the brilliant Spanish airs , or Pacini ' s Jiria ? There . are , however , some specialities—for instance , Signor Mario sang , for the only time during the season , at Miss Kemble ' s ntntinee given at Bridgewater House ; first Donizktti ' s " Ange si pur , " and then in a duet with Miss Kebible . At- Madame Saiga ' s concert Madame Guerhabella

      made her second appearance , and sang a Russian melody delightfully ; and Mr . Albert Smith gave " Brown on his Travels , " whicli says much for the comicality , but little for the music of the concert . However , Miss Arabella Goddard and a host of real vocal talent fully maintained the high character of the performances . The Vocal Association , under the direction of Mr . Benedict , have given their concluding concert of the present season , and it was conducted with the usual care and taste . The peculiarity of the programme was Herr Joachim ' s overture to Shakspeabe ' s Henry JF ., which seems to have been of the class styled transcendental , a school which nt . present is creating some-strife-in- the musical world . It is wild , unintelligible , and exceedingly difficult , and , like pre ^ liapliaelism in painting , docs not encourage or patronize the beautiful . If you aie pleased , the connoisseurs tell you you are wrong ; if perplexed , you may in time coinprehend .

      The Theatrical intelligence is slight . A new farce from the French , entitled Dying ' for Love , has been brought out at the Princess ' s successfully . The humour is made principally by Mr . I > avii > Fisher ' s mock-heroic determination to destroy himself ; and the ladies being personated by Miss Hbath and Miss Murray , it agreeably passes the hour of expectation devoted to the Merchant of Venice . The Olympic has revived a very odd little farce called the Windmill , in which Mra . Ejudkn enacts , archly , a miller ' s daughter , and Mr . Iikwis Ball a loutish lover . The characters were designed for Mr . and Mrs . Keelktt , who came out in them some dozen years since . Vauxhaix Gardens , spite of the Thames disorder , l » as opened , and we note it chiefly , as three years more wilt complete its two hundredth year—an age which public establishments of the kind seldom reach . Pepy s and Evelyn record its foundation in 1661 ; and if the embankment and purification of its great adjunct—the river—take place , who knows but it may get a new lease for another hundred years . Indeed , our Garden entertainments arc looking up , for Crebiorne is about to undergo a lustration by the fairest and purest of the aristocracy—and the Princess Mary and tho Duchess of Cambiuogic , have already consecrated its day entertainments .
