This is the earliest info * mtttion which the critid dives vis concerning the f milr of the proprietress of the Diorama of Hirfdostan , who is , besides , tlor ofa book which , " with the diffidence and ihodesty of true genius , " \ e designates Wanderings of a Pilgrim in search of the Picturesque . 'This book seems to have been rather more sudcessful in its day than Uncle Tom ' * CaUn . , ( its circulation has been almost ubiquitous . It lies on our Queen's drawing-room table at Windsor Castle } it is an ornament in the library of the Czar at Peterain the Hills at Simla and Landour
buriyh . It is read , it the foot of the glorious gj ^ alaya ; it is treasured by her Highness the ex-Que ^ n of Gwalior , and it adorna the court of Nepaul . In North America , at the court bf the Brazils , it is in high repute- Our aiilbassadorg read it in Madrid and in Stdckholin ; our military book clnbs have long since ordered it at the Cape , in New Zealand ( our antipodes ) , and at Hobart Town ; and the 1002 imperial octavo pages , Mth their 50 beautiful illustrations sketched on the spot , and several of them lithdgraphed by herself , constitute at this moment the most perfect delineation of East Indian life , British and native , with which the literature Of Europe has yet been enriched . "
From the majestic Fulbertus " our heroine's un broken lineage" is made out somehow , and we are quite satisfied that it id all correct , though we confess to having taken a good deal hereabout on trust . We get a hastyglimpse of her childhood , "' on the borders of ihe forest , the beautiful forest' ( aB she terms it ) " in Hampshire . She marries , goes with her husband on the continent , and Afterwards to India . Then begins the pursuit of the Picturesque , under the complicated difficulty of " climate , fatigue , and expense . " The thousand and two imperial bctavo pages , with their fifty beautiful illustrations , are finished , and " the triumph of genius is complete . " So eke quits India , and returns to her natiye land . « Yet even here , ttith all that should accompany her dignified retirement and her husband ' s home—as honour , love , affection , troops of friends ( where have we heard something like this in connexion with a digHified retirement . ?) she has , with
a spirit of enterprise almost incredible—with ah exercise of talent , ingenuity , and patience hardly paralleled—brought before the eye of London , ai by the waving of a fiecromancer ^ s wand , the most enchantingly beautiful visions of Indian life and Indian scenery that artistic skill of the highest order off excellence , and the most costly elaboration of mechanical arts and contrivances , have ever exhibited to this or any other nation . " That is , she has opened a very well painted and exceedingly interesting diorama , next door to Madame Tussaud ' s , in Baker-street , and we recommend everybody to go and see it—in spite of the Morning JSerald I

Woodin's Carpet-Bag And Sketch-Book. The...
WOODIN'S CARPET-BAG AND SKETCH-BOOK . There certainly is a power which our actors generally have not , aftd which , yet seems to be the special power requisite to form ah actotf . It is that mimetic faculty which forms the stock in trade of such exhibitors as Mr . W . C . Woodin—disciples of Mathews the elder—but which is possessed by only a very few artists of the regular stage , such as Charles Mathews , Wigan , and , we may add , Jatte Woolgar . It will be said that mimics are not actors , —that is , that people who would deceive you aboiii their identity twenty times in an hour , are very often quite incapable of grasping an author ' s intention , and that a man able to imitate Macready " to perfection in a speech from Othello is likely to be the very last whom
you would suspect of possessing real dramatic capability . Grant all this , and what does it amount to P That something more than a power of personation is wanted by those who have to express the ideas of othersthat an intelligent representation of a character is even better than a personation , consisting only of make-up , grimace , and falsetto . But are not Mathews and Wigan the better actors for being also mimics ? Indeed , is not mimicry the foundation of their success ? The hero of the Carpet-hag and Sketch-book is a very young-looking gentleman , with the power we have been speaking of in great natural abundance . We doubt if he would make an actor , in the full sense of the word , but as we are not aware that be intends becoming one , the expression of that doubt is perhaps irrelevant . Nor has he a 5 the finish , to be looked for in his peculiar style of entertainment . His disaruises .
certainly , are for the most part , colnplete transformations . The Oldest Inhabitant , and the little old woman , are his two beat characters , though his first presentation , a servant-girl out of place , and very full of her experiences , gave great promise , which was , on the whole , fulfilled . Mr . Woodin's face is exceedingly plastic , and ; in its balance , ( which you rarely get , by-the-bye , ) it rather resembles John Parry ' s . In the article , voice , he is not so fortunate , not being able to sing bass music ; but he relieved this deficiency with much , skill in his imitations of Lablache , Henry itussell , & c . Hie other imitations , principally of London actors , are many degrees below the average of that sort of display ; we should except his mimicry of Wright , perhaps , and also of Charles Xean ' s gesture ( his voice' was not attempted ) 5 but this was little to accomplish . Albert Smith was recognisable principally on account of a scene borrowed from his Mont Blanc . The Sketch-booh , by-the-bye , is a rather poor affair ; the reason for giving views only of well-known places in and near London was not made clearly intelligible . Z ,
