Transatlantic Rambles j or , a Record of Twelve Months Iravel in the United States , Cuba , and the Brazils . By a Kugb ^ an . London
Bell . This is a lively aeries of sketches of men and manners as they appeared to an intelligent young Englishman on the two great contiueuts of America . The writer makes no pretensions to authovcraft , but prints the results of his daily observations in an agreeable and unconstrained style , which carries the reader pleasantly along . We have lately , however , given our readers extracts from works on the United States , and shall therefore , on the present occasion , confine our quotations to those portions of the 'Rugbaean' which , refer to Cuba and Brazil . Here is a glance at the ways of life in Havanna : —
After the < raveller has examined the elegance and variety of the volantes , laughed at the intense confusion of the mule-waggons , whose wheels their drivers seem to matte an especial point of locking together for tha eake of producing every possible stoppage , and has sympathised with the groups of heavily chained criminals whoareempioyed in mending their own ways and those of the town , overlooked hy Soldiers with bayonets and task masters with -whips , he baa seen every BtnHlgB al » bt Whlfill the street * can afford by day . At lligbt it is quite different . The mule drivers have Rone to their homes , the criminals to their cells , the dust has subsided , a mild pale-eyed moon has superseded a sun that is not content without diffusing a temperature o > 95 ° ,
and the streets are really pleasant . Then fashion Stalks abroad , volantes da > h about here and there , bearing there duos of beautie-, veiled , indeed , but trhat can one thin layer of g&vze avail against the f lashings of their darK eyes . Other ladiej , also , in all the pride of beauty and geor ° eous evening dresses , have come to their iron-barred windows ( which have all the appearacce of the cages in TFoinbweH ' 8 menager-e , and hold beings as dangerous though not so deadlv ) , and are to be seen engaged in conversation with knots of lounging young cavaliers , returning from the music of the Piazi des Aymer , and on their way for their aecustomed ice and cup of coffee at Domenicho ' s , the great cafe of the town . A passing peep through
tne = e bars gives one a great insight into the domestic economy of families . The father may be teen recumbent and snoring after the burden and heat of the day ; the children , dark-eyed and malicious looking , playing on the floor ; the gloomy figures of negroes flitting in the back ground , in connexion with cofiee cups and cigars , and the old duenna of the party , wrinkled and strikingly plain , wielding a Irage fan . witb her fat dusky arms , Bwaying her person in a rocking chair , casting contemptuous glances at the groups in the windows as they whisper their soft nothings , and thinking no doubt of the olden time when she was a window attraction , and such delightful nothings were -whispered to her . I was told that , owing to the
prevalence of fasting during Lent , I should i . ot see the opera , but this happily proved Untrue . Itseetns that Lent does generally bring with it a cessation from these sort of amusements , but the mauager laving got Meyerbeer ' s Huguenots reheased and ready , thought it an excellent time to show conjointly his lore of music , re ifjion , and full houses , and accordingly applied to the Captain-General or Governor , -who is the great potentate of the island , and much more absolute in his authority that even Queen Isabella , to grant him the licence requisite for its performance . This gentleman * * jurisdiction embraces every person , from the police forte to the opera corps . In opera affairs he is really of the greatest service to the public . If , for instance , a
Eullen basso , a captious tenor , or a spoilt prima donna , gets up an indisposition , a sore throat , Ac ,, at five minutes' notice , to suit some particular 'whim , or under the influence of the t-anie feelings sings out of tune , though he or she be backed by the certificates of nil the Brodies or L"cocl ; s of Cuba , nothing can prevent this prompt benefactor from arresting the offender , and signing an order for a week ' s meditation in gaol . However , though he be the ruling man in the place , he is by no means the ruling power , as report will have it that he is quite subject to his wife , who is a very serious woman , and a close observer of the most minute requirements of her creed . As a matter ot course she sets her face against the opera , and , of Course , so did her Icrd . ' Butsuppose , " urged the
perseFering manager , " that we call it * El trfompho de / c' ( the triumph of faith )! " "Ah ! that ' s a g «« . d idea , " said the lady ; ditto said the husband . This idea seemed to effect a happy combination of amusement and reli gion . "But , " urged the lady , "the leading singer has to sing Mono al fapa' ^ deatll to lhe Pope ); that will never do } " "Jjut we can a ! Vrtbat , " 8 aid the manager , " and he shall sing 4 Viva al Fapa * ( long live the Pope )! " Tuis alteration made no matter , it did not interfere with the score , and the opera , with numerous excisions , was 3 « ly performed , to the intense defight of both audience and manager . People went to see it last Sunday after they had spent the morning at mass , the afternoon at a bull fight , and when they were looking f rward to a masked ball as a grand finale Wtneir Sabbath revelry .
Onr next extracts will give an idea of the state of negro slavery in Brazil : — The thing which first struck me in Rio was the immense number of blacks , who are to be seen in every corner of the fitn-ets . Though many are to tie met with in the States , they do not jji ? e one the ideacf being in bucIi a degraded state as they are in this country . Slavery is slavery everywhere ; bafcbere it stalks abroad , branded , diseased , and naked . It ie sometimes difficult to fancy tve black of the Southern States as a slave , when on Sundays he turns out in the gayest clothes aud the gayest spirits of anybody , or when his never-tiring foot or fiddle is deroied to the service of tome dark B . nnh or Susannah , at a ball . But here slavery has none of nbese disguises ; it flourishes in all its dreadful loathsomeness and misery . Amongst that squalid groupjn the corner of yonder street , with basket *
fceside . thenr , waiting to be hired , all ie subdued and Bilent . They don ' t seem to feel their situation , for theyhave long grown callous to it ; but you never lear . as you would among a similar group in the States , the . merry jest , the animated discussion about nothing , or the noisy laugh that convulseserery part of the body at once . They bow their ie » d 8 despon < iing ! y in tbe » un , seemingly conscious of nothing . The finest race , of blacks in the omntry is , the Minas ; they are easily distinguished * ' < nq the rest by tbe'r tine stature , jet-black colour ,-and amark branded on their BOBe ; They are sometomes six feetin ; height , and the women tall in proportion , ff faeu they first cpme from i he coast they awe & jpfty appearance and a sort of noble bearing , JWetta ' nionth .

" * * At about a day ' s journey from the city , in a forest gorge , which a lover of the beautiful mi ^ hc have chosen above ail others as a linjjering place , I met a gang of newlyarrived blacks , ju-tetft free from the horrors of a slave-hnM . I could scarcely have thought it possible for such an amount of human misery to have been compressed into so small a number . At the head of me party , a devilish contrast , well-ordered , well-mounted , and well-armed , was tbe conductor of the g-. nig , a Idunderl-uss over his arm and a cruel thong at his side . He saluted me courteously on meeting , but , accustomed as 1 was to many forms , of slavery , I could scarcely return his greeting ; for struggling after him , bending under the weicht of two lieavv buruenB , came the
shambling crowd . It was a ghastly « i gbt . It seemed as if the jiws of some mighty sepulchre had . yawned , and given again to earth its wasted tenauts , endowed with » feeble emanation of their old life . The glazed eye , as it was just raised in Us suffering , and then heavily dropped , the white teeih that grinned from without tlveir Btavraken habitation , ;« s you passed , told of another existence ; and when you glmeed at the figures—the bended bone-pierced Knee , too thigh that one hand aught have clasped , and the ribs of terrible distiucttfeas—the idea of the crowd belonging to the same order of humanity as ourselves , having the same hopes , appetites , and passions , instantly v ^ i . ised . Ton looked upon them as such a throng of mariners ; i » navigated the pnautom bark to
Ueltgo ' s Isle , or tvpj > alled the great Florentine on his entrance into Malebolge . The males had only a strip of calico round their middle , while the women had but a coarse petticoat hanging scant and loose about their shrunken forms . Their more * went was very slow , but it seemed to suit their conductors , both in front aud rear , who , with their mules , were basking under the silken shade of their umbrellas most unconcernedly . The day was hot , and on passing a stream the party was allowed to drink , which they did , long and deep ; but to see them , with their contorted and scarred forms , drooping over the water , bending themselves into every grisly shape , made one start , and ask oneself involuntarily , " Are these God's creatures ?"

Marian Withers . By U . E . Jewsbury . Threevols . London : Colburn . The story of these three volumes may be succinctly summed up as follows : — In the year 1794 a wealthy elderly lady , night Miss Femvick , sitting at a window in St . James' 8-square » Manchester , inthelistlessness aud ennui induced by too great worldly means , has her attention attracted to two little baretoot urchius singing , through a drizzling rain and a disorganised fog , a dismal melody , " Give us some food for our mother in charity , Give us some food , and we will begone 1 "
The haif-drowned little wretches were locked with arms round each other , and the lady , much to tbe disgust of the servants , had them called into the house , and led to the kitchen fire . There they told a pitifnl tale , of course , how their father -was killed by a fall from a ladder , and their mother , who worked at a factory , was lying ill of a fever ; how the parish couldn ' t relieve them , and , finally , how a wicked man had stolen the last money from the mantleshelf of the * cellar ' where ' mother ' lived . ThO Btory was ' pai ; ' but on further questioning they disclosed their home—Back
Garden-street , a filthy and miserable den of the low Irish of Manchester , perhaps as bad a sample of the lower order of the sister country as can be discovered in any of the wretched and savage colonies in the kingdom . Miss Femvick sent them home hetter clad , ¦ w armed , and fed than they had yet been in their little lives , and next day despatches a servant to relieve the miserable mother . An excellent description of the pariahs of society , their dwellings , and habits follows . Their
'mother' is a tramper , and lives with a maimed imposter , who carries on street begging as a sham sailor . She is helplessly intoxicated with the proceeds of the poor little creatures' clothes , 80 unthinkingly presented to them , by Miss Fenwick , aud poor Mary is glad to escape from the den whither she had been sent on her mission of mistaken mercy , leaving behind the basket , in compliance with a half muttered threat of the savage ' father
*;—" To think of the deceit of these young things , " said Mary , "I wonder tbe earth doesn't open under them ; but they'll be sure to come to be hanged at last , thut ' a one mercy . " " Poor things ! " said Miss Fenwick , in a voice of deep pity ; " born to an inheritance of crime , how can they escape ? and what chance bare they to do better ? If we would save them—" Mary , of course , exclaims against this , and hopes ' she shan t be sent to look after beggars again , &c . ; she was tired , had been terribly frightened , and was out of patience with the pity expressed by her mistress for such little imposters .
Not so her mistress—she haJ never before realised the horrible condition of these outcast children , lying in the depths of misery 3 and breathing a very atmosphere of crime and every minor wickedness : now it came home to her with terrible distinctness and force . A whole ' Satan ' s invisible world' was opened up , and the benevolent lady could not rest . Two days after , while out walking , the wellremembered
tvhine" Give us some food , and let us begone . " met her ear in the street . It was her twe little impostors . The little urchins ¦ try to evade her ; but , strong in her purpose , she takes them each by a hand , and , after reassuring them , takes them home . Mary has her commentary about' little thieves lets in great ones ; ' the poor children are fearfully bruised , the result of a brutal beating to make them remember on no account in future to give a right direction to their home . Further in quiry shows them not to belong to the infamous pair , who trade upon their mendicancy nor even are they brother and sister . Tins bov knows not his father , the girl ' s mother
died in that cellar . The result is Miss Fenwick calms their fear * , and revives to ; take charge of these two little heathens in a Christian land . The benevolent lady places them in the workhouse school , with a promise oi putting thrm out at a proper age into the world . ' Lost Molly , ' and' Little Jack , ' ceive tbe name 9 of Alice and John Withers . Alice is put out to service , and John apprenticed to a millowner at Appleby , in Staffordshire . Alice , at a later period in life > becomes the housekeeper of 'John , ' left a widower with an only daughter , Marian Withers / the heroine of the tale .
The story of John Withers Is * carefully drawn . Endowed b y nature with a mechanical genius , steady habits , and a thoughtful turn , lie devotes himself to improvements in mechanism : Fora longtime hemeets the fate of other projectors , he foseBhis present eniploymeut . and is on the brink of starvation . Hard toil and scant living do their work , and he lies long in a hospital from a street accident , incurred through his mental abstraction and bodily weakness . He recoversj his plan is adopted by a millottner , who , through
a lawyer , purchases John Withers ' s invention ; Juhh proposes by industry , his master dies ; John marries his orphan daughter , establishes a mill , and becomes ' well to do . ' Alice too has saved money , as companion to an invalid lady of rank in Scotland , who dies , as dues John ' s wife , and Alice returns to her ' brother' to superintend his Jhome . The cotton , onll , itsiands , the millowners . masters , and work people , are almost daguerreotyped in iiiss Jevrobiiry ' s pages . From the period we have now arrived at , the character of the tale is developed . 5

. Marian is invited out into the world oiprovmcmi fkshi ™ . she falls in love with a worthless and vicious young wan Albert , the nephew of Mr 3 . Arl , of Camaford Hall , where she is ou a visit . The sacrifice of the beautiful Hilda Blair , Mrs . Art ' s younger sister , to the wealth y roue Glynton , with its results , are well worked out . Mrs . Arl Lerself has married a very wealthy and worthy foreign merchant , with no hi gher motive than to get ' an establishment , ' and truly she makes the most of the position wealth has given her . Marian is invked ~^ T , n ri , a ^ « t „ , ¦„ .
The male coquetry of Albert , who deserts Marian for the aristocratic Lady Wollaston , so soon as she appears upon the scene as a visitor to Mrs . Avl , together with that lady's rorealment of her weakness to her husband , Sir Frederick Wollaston , though startling is not uunatural . A worthy philanthropist , of hi h mental power 8 and vavied acquirements , is on a tour , for the purpose of acquiring knowledge , among the seats of our 6 taple manufacture . He is introduced to the plain but ingenious and honest John Withers . Ho ad- '
mires his character , and resides awhile at his house . Elsewhere , in the circle of fashion , lie meets at the house of Mr . Arl , his relative Lady Wollaston , and their visitor Marian Withers . He admires the humble and retiring girl , and still more from his admiration of tbe good qualities of tbe father , which he finds reflected in the child . We shall not trace the chain of events b y which John Withers , in a season of commercial crisis , becomes embarrassed For a presentBupply of money . Bankers , cotton-brokers , and great mercantile houses are failing in a time of panic . Mr . Cunningham steps in , and offers his unemployed capitnl to facilitate operations . John Withers is perplexed . Mr . Cunningham invests a sum
as partner , and finall y marries Marian , who looks back with Bhame on her love for the handsome profligate , Albert , whose career of dissipation ends in the New World , by a shot from an in jured husband , which disfigures him for the rest of his days . As a specimen of the strong , healthy , and reasoning style of Miss Jewabury ' s writing , we prefer quoting trom a conversation between a group of millowners , on the merits of individual enterprise , commercial economy , and joint-stock schemes , to making an extract from a scene » f passion or feeling—thoug h on these points Miss Jewsbury ' s volumes are equal to many that have no other or higher qualities to recommend , them : —
uli ave no faith in them > " s a'd Johu Withers , they are al ] just schemes for making everybody rich without working ; they have taken th = place of the lotteries , where everybudy hoped , bv putting a bit of paper into the wheel , to see it come out , the ten thousand pound prize at least . It is a had look out for a country when the people take the notion of getting rich in a hurry ; it is trying to ' eneat nature into working miracles ; and jjettin" things without paying the price for them . It mayWm to answer for a wnile , but pay day will come at last , and find them out , like the day of judgment , when they least look for it . There is nothing but hard work that does not deceive a man ; if he sticlta to that , be finds tbe good of it in the end , though his back may be half broken before it comes , "
This is further illustrated by the speeches o * Higginbottom and Sykes , the other two millowners of the party . Sykes loquitur :- — Whenever there has been a spell of good trade there always cornea out a crop of new schemes for making everybody rich in no time . One while it ' s one tiling , another while it ' s another tiling . Why now , when I was a lad , there w ^ re those canals , aud what were they not to do ? The whole country was to he cut up , Uko tlieDuttihlimn ' s , from end to > tde ; instead of coaches , we were to go about in flat bottomed boats , and the women to skate to market in winter . Well , and what did it all come w ? Why , after ruining all those who trusted to thtm , a bad . harvest aim a bad tradebrou » hi tilings
to pretty much what tbry were before ; tor when there ' s a bad harvest , a bad trade and low wanes are sure to follow , and vice versa . I remember the time that followed the canal mania ; the master mj fiiibt-r worked with failed along with his canal shares : he had put it out further than ho could uraw it-back again . The mill stopped , and two hundred hands were thrown out ot employ in a minute . It was a sore time for . us little " ' ui ) 8 . Mother had always been proud of her house , and kept nice furniture . We had an eight-day clock , I remember , that set her up move than unychiiij : else ; but when the children gutupin the morning , and there was nothing on the loaf to give tlii-m , it was easier parting with the things than to hear them cry . "
He then describes with painful minuteness the bad and dear bread of his childhood , the break-up of his homo , and of his mother's heart and spirits , who became a pauper , and never held her head up after . Listen , then , to the ' simple annals of the poor , ' as narrated with a truthfulness that Btamps its actuality : — . " I was sent along with some others to Burtonupon-Trent to learu the cotton spinning , under olo Sir Itobert P .-el . I waa tbere a long wiiiu '; what
beoiiine of my father I never could rightty tell . The parish sent hiuj to 86 a , and I suppose ho wa drow « ed in foreign pans , for the ship ho flailed in was never heard ot . 1 got into work in Ol . iham , aud I resolved to raise up the family like . 1 recoileot thinking what a proud day it woulu be for we if I could get back mother ' s eigbt-tlay clock . So I scraped and saved , and worked early and late . 1 lived—and lived as well a ? I coulu—on three shillings a week , aud Bavevl the rest . It ' s woudeifui what may be got together by saving . Trade wabriak , and wages were good , &q , "
But we have not space to follow Mr . Sykes ' s detail of how ho lent a small sum to hi& employer in a momentofpressure , or how he be came his partner , and eventuall y his succes aor , ' 1 never tried to get rich on a sudden , ' says he in conclusion , » and I never \* ill try . Them schemes take all the work oat of a man , and make him coward-like . I have been in shifts since I was a maBter , and wi : « i I was a man , and its the work that has kept my heart up , and I mind what my old father used to say in his troubles—he had seen it o « . a tombstone— - Good times , and had times , all tunes pass by .

Theot . ject of this conversation , the moral educed from it by the enlightened , philosophic , and educated Mr . \ Cunningham , is admirably conclusive . " Undoubtedly , " said Mr . Cunningham , who had been liaU'iiing with much interest , » Uh <> u » ii he had not yet spoken , " a Spirit of SKlRll'lp dOC 6 lie at till bottom of all success . St-lf-relianvc is Ctte backbone of i > ll heroism of cha accer , 'fin ; spirit to work thoroughly at whatever has to hidone , to grapple band to hand with difficulties , and to strangle ttieus instead of seehmg to evade tlieiii . is the primeval stuff out of which uien und demigods are made . But vse must beware how we al low our views to centre in ourBelves . We are nont >
of ua alone in the world , it is not for ourselves , nkmu th . it we work and strive . Man does lnucli by himself , but all great objects have been achieved wlusn he has joined himself with others , and w rked in concert with them . Various as the working and the effects of some of these joint stock companies may oe , still they contain a principle that will gradually reorganise the whole macti . nery of society . GO'Ouerauoii will gradually take the place of competition . A great social question is opening up . The enormouB development of our material u » industrial interests has created a-ne ' w order of men in this country , and indeed throughout fiuro , C . The praotical republicanism of trade has induced an entirely new range of thoughts and interests of wbiob . our fathers never dreamed . The resources 01 trade , have , however , bitbeno , been Jike a rich and
newlj discovered laud , where any Bew CQiuvr l ( i * f been at liberty to work for his own advantage in any way lie choae . Complicated questions of conflicting interests are arising . Masters and nien , capital and labour , are beginning to stand in antagonism' to each other . It is an immense , question tvhich is lying brfore us . There will be a struggle , the end of w ich uoneof us may live to pee , but , J delieve fii mtyi that the true Jaws of commerce wUl be laid down * that labour will be organised ; and it * forces disciplined , so that their powerful exploits ffill . be more extended and brilliant than tbosu achieved by " war aiid destruction .
