Irish Dramas in Great Demand—The Break- fest to the French Actore—The Offenbach Malady on the Increase—Cuckstone, Phelps, Sothern, Mrs. Scott-Siddons and the Infant Phenomenon, Lonpon, July 15, 1871, Itis worthy of remark that whereas the taste for Irish novels seems to have entirely died out, the love of Irish plays appears to wax stronger year by year. Such stories asthose to which Banim, Griffin, Car- leton, Lover and Maxwell owe their literary laurels no longer find favor with Mr. Muuie, who still bears supreme sway In the circulating libraries, The realm of pictorial Mterature is now parcelled out mong two or three ladies and gentlemen, of whom the most conspicuous are Miss Braddon, Miss A. B. Edwards, Mr. Anthony Trollope and Mr. Wilkie Collins. Meanwhile the Irish noveltstis, in sporting phrase, ‘‘nowhere.” He has disappeared as completely as though he had never existed, or “gs if he liad never been sach,” to use the words of the gravedigger im “Hamlet.” Yet, strange to say, the irish dramatist flourishes Uke a bay tree by the running waters, and never was there a greater rage for Hibernian melodramas than at the present mo- ment, ‘The ummense success of Mr. F. Falconer’s play of “Elleen Oge’? at the Princess’ Theatre is the most recent Ulustration of a fact whereof we have had many memorable examples during the past few years, Plays such as the “Colleen Bawn,” ‘‘Arrah- na-Pogue,” “The Peep o’ Day” and “Etleen Oge” have “money in them,’’ as the managers say, and draw the town, while Shakspeare and Sheridan are either altogether shelved or performed to miserable houses. Indeed, the very evening before the production of Mr. Falconer’s drama Mr. | Phelps | played Macbeth at the Princess? to @ house in which Zimmerman might have written another “Essay upon Solitude.” The dress circle presented a beggariy account of empty boxes; the gods had vanished from the galleries, and asfor the pit you might have played cricket in it, Rari apparent redentes In gurgite vasto. Next night came out ‘‘Etieen Oge,” a@ tissue of breakneck adventares and wild Celtte drollertes strongly seasoned with sensationalism, and the theatre is crowded from floor w roof wer. Orders are now out of the question; the free list ts sus- pended, and inetead of the dismal prospect of what “@ clerical house’? (so called in compliment to the parsons who go altogether upon tae gratuitous system and would fain get everything for nothing) the Manager's eyes are regaied nightly with tho blissful vision of a theatre crammed with people who have paid for admission. What adds to the peculiarity of the present state of things is that good Irish actors were never so scarce upon the London stage as at the present moment. Mr. Vion Boucicault, the best of them, now rarely acts, ana there Is no other comedian who can worthily represent all that is most joyous, wayward and amusing in the Milesian character, We have no longer any Irish comedian worthy of comparison with the Jolnstones and Powers of former generations. In an Irish play of the class now ia vogue the performers act and talk like trne-born cockneys. Yet the play goes down | like jelly witn the audience, who in applauding the players appear to do so upon the generous principle | recommended by the Prince of Denmark—“the less their desert the greater merit in your bounty.” But despite the shortcomings of the actors the Irish play- | wright 1s unquestiodably master of the situation, | and has it all his own way, hke a bu!l in achina shop. He (not the bull, but the playwright) muss lake Care, however, to Walk in the beaten track, otherwise he may come togricl ‘Via trita, via tuta.”? : Hie must not picture the Ireland of the present day, which is prosperous and prosaic, but rather taat of by-gone times, when Erin was the Niobe of nations with a smile on her lip and a tear tn her eye, and when her sons and daughters were the laughing victims of sectarian strife, landlord tyranny and political oppression. Above ail things ne must bes in mind to fill his play with fairs, patterns, meri makings, duels, facuon fights, ferce conficts between police and peasantry, and, in a word, all sorts of drolieries and deviiries. Jigs and jokes must be of constant recurrence, and the air must ever and anon be darkened With the pelting of sods of turfand the brandisning of shillelahs.

Cigars were smoked, coffee sipped and strawberries and cream handed smilingly around beneath the radiant roof of the Tropical Department, a place Whose bame was in happy accordance with the genial Warmth of the occasion. In fact, all weat merry as that “wedding bell,” which, ever since it first chimed out in “Don Juan,” has become an in- dispensable metaphor to image forth the gladness and gayety at all festive gatherings. Lord Gran- | ville, im the course of a long speech, praised the Gallic guests to the seventh heavens. and would have it that there is no acting 1n the world half so good as theirs—wiiich there isn’t.

Translated from the French of ago Droz by M. 8, New York: Holt & Wil- liams. 1871. Publishers so often mage poor selections of foreign, novels for translation that we are extremely glad to welcome the excellent chotce which has been made in the selection of this volume of M. Droz. In well regulated minds, accustomed to the decor- ous passion of most English and American novels, there has long existed a not uofounded prejudice against French novels, too many of which have treated of only one sort of love, and that in no deli- cate terms, Sut while they have nad that glaring fault, on the other hand they have so excelledin regard to execution, their style has been so polished, their delineation of character 8o keen, their analysis of human feelings so subtle, that the reader, in spite of himself, could not restrain his admiration. We regard the selection of this book as particularly for- tunate, because it is free frem the prominent faults and adorned with the merits of the best of recent French novels. The author is a young man, Whose Orst appearance in Iiterature was as the autnor of a series of little sketches in a paper called La Vie Farisienne, which were afterwards collected im two volumes—“Monsleur, Madame and Bébé,” and Entre nous, They are hardly saltable tor trans- lation, both on account of their faults and merits; for the delicacy and grace of their wit would be lost in translation, and the freedom of a great deal had better be left for one who is more hardened by a course of French reading. They are little scenes of society and of domestic life, fail of the most courteous satire of the various frivolities of the time. In these works he 18 never gross, although free, and never bitter in his most satirical sketches, and he abounds with the most charming humor. While writing these he merely practised his skilful pen. Abouta yearand a half ago he published this novel in the Revue des Deux Mondes, It is astory of modern French society. The scene is laid in the provinces, A wealthy manufacturer, who has just made his money, marries a young and noble wife, buys a place in the country and goes there to live. Besides this pair the persons of the story are the priest of the village, Who is, in fact, the hero of the tale, and the various Telations of the proprietor and his wife. We hope we do not terrify our readers by saying that the priest falls in love with the rich man’s wife. She is taken as a representative of the modern French wo- man of society, and so as the ideal of all other wo- men of society, and is drawn with rare skill, all her pretty graces, her innocence beneath her frivolity— in @ word, her womaniiness, with all its petty faults aud dwarfed good qualities—are set before us ina pictare that 1s natural, because it is so care- fully done. Her husband finds a spring upon his property, which lus money-making instinct turns to the enlargement of his wealth by claiming for it bealth-giving properties and a pretended miracle, Which the priest alone can explain; put since that would compromise the lady he holds his peace and retires into exile in partial disgrace. Tnis is but a rude outline of vhis interesting novel; the cupidity of the proprietor, the manliness and warm-hearted- ness of the priest, in spite of his vulgar surround. ings, the frivolity of the young Parisian, are most charmingly represented. The author unites to the delicate humor his earlier works had shown a more sustained power of narration and a skill in the serious treatment of his subject which at once giveshim @ prominent place among French novelists. The last story by.the same author, “Le Cahier bleu ae Mademoiselle Cibot,”’ is hardly suited for the greater plainness of the English tongue, although it is @ wonderful story: the same might also be said of the two volumes we have mentioned. ‘The grace of the French could not be given in any English translation, however careful. We hope soon to be able to announce another novel from M. Droz. Now that peace has been declared we trust chat his pen will not be idle, PrRinittvt CULTURE. By E. B. Tylor. don, 1871. We can heartily recommend this work to the reader; for it is one wtuch, by the fairness of its spirit and the thoroughness of its treatment, may be taken as a most satisfactory representative of the spirit of the day. Sctence is on its proper ground when it deals with the facts wnich it discovers with- out finding it necessary to vindicate itself either by @ flippant appeal to the vulgar or by a timid effort to conciliate the prejudiced. Thts book ts on @ sub- Ject of the greatest interest to man«ind, being an effort to unravel the vague history of the earlier tumes of the human race, and while in this attempt it must bring much to our knowledge that will sur- prise those opinions we had formed in our ignorance, and must tear the veil from much that we had re- garded with a sort of superstitions awe, yet the author 1s never wanton, never wilfut in his work, but gives us both the method and means of his investigations, and enabies us to draw our conclusions for ourselves. The amount of material that he has gathered and judged is simply enormous. The book 1s a treasure house of facts, besides being a model of their intel- ligent treatment. Out of the early histories, from the reports of travellers, from the games of chil- dren, which last contain some of the oldest me- moriais of the childhood of mankind, he gives us a vivid picture of the lives of our savage forefathers. He interprets the sports of boys and girls in a fas- cinating way. The use of the bow and arrow may serve as an example. At first they were used asa deadly weapon, then alone for sport, and now they have suuk simply into a toy for children, which they will, doubtless, remain for centuries. His conclusions in regard: to the earliest condition of savage races agrees with those of Sir John Lub- bock, in supposing that mankind has risen from a state of abject ignorance, therein differing from the Duke of Argyle and others, who hold that men were first endowed with a gentle meduocrity, from which the savages have degraded. A very con- siderable part of the whole book 1s devoted to an in- vestigation of the religions of savage races, of their Opinions about the existence of God and the immor- tality of the soul. Nowhere has there been col- lected such a various mass of evidence upon these subjects; manyof the forms of pagan worship, many heathen formulas, are shown to be still as famillar to us as to the tattooed savage, whose groping, awe-stricken heart first invented them. But no brief notice can give an adequate idea of the various merits of this book, which is itself a brief compendium of an enormous mass of information. Bat while it is this it isin norespectdry. The style is entertaining and at times rising into elo- quence, Moreover, the subject does not demand special information for its intelligent understand- ing, a8 is the case with the works of Mr. Darwin, in spite of the simplicity with which they are writen, ‘This book of Mr. Tylor’s has almost the interest to us thatour own biography would have, from our very familiarity witn the facts of which he treats; but he, nevertheless, perpetually convicts our faml- larity of the greatest ignorance. We earnestly hope that some publisher may soon give us the reprint of this most valu able work, for the price of the English edition will keep it out of the reach of many a slim purse. 2 vols. Lon- TEN GREAT RELIGIONS. By Rev. James Freeman Clarke. Boston :; James lt. Osgood & Co, 1871. Science 18 Indeed extending its sway when it be- gins to treat of religion; but sach a course 1s inevi- table with the various lights that study in different directions throws upon this side of human develop- ment. Linguistics, itself a new science, has estab- lished the common origin of the Hindoo, Persian, Latin, Greek, Ceitic, Teutonic and Slavonic races, and the study of their languages, which often preserve us more ‘Memorials of their religion than of anything else, has amassed for us more tn- formation than our grandfathers possessed of these religions, has rendered their comparison possible, aud, by showing how much good there is even in the heathen mind, has enabled us to look with a less prejudiced eye at these efforts of mankind in the search of truth. A sctentife mind regards all sub- jects that 1 examines without any predetermined opinion; it does not abuse the pagans; it ts not or should not be intimidated by the eminent merits of Christianity. To tne anatomist a human subject 18 no more venerable than the corpse of a horse; im his work he has noth- ‘og to do with veneration; when ho lays down bis scalpe it 1s different; then man naturally receives the respect which is his due, So it is ‘with the scientific examimatton of religions; and DFE Is 10 OuE SVIRIOD. thas At Clacke’s DOK Mo. open to objection. He tries continually to prove the superiority of Christianity, a superiority which few of us woula care to deny; but that makes the book at once @ tract, and not a scientific work. Itmay be ‘that thts sop is mecessary to allay those timid spirits who imagine that they are touching pitch if they find out anything about other religions; but it would be far better to let the exposition be as thorough as possible and to let the evident superiority of Chris- tlanity prove Itself, Such a treatment as this, we re- gret, has its place, but notin a scientific book. ‘The work contains @ great deal of useful information, which is most valuable, from its novelty and from the rarity of its sources, to the general reader. Con- faclanism, Bramanism, Buddhism, the Greek and Roman religions, those of ancient Persia, of the Teutonic nations of Mohammed, of Egypt and Jada- ism are those treated of, and we only regret that it 1s with such brevity, for each one demands, as the author doubtless felt, far more space than is given to it, The pages that are given to religious appeals to the reader might well have been em- ployed in the use of science without harming reli- gion, One gets, as it 1s, a rather dizzying mass of facts about Buddhisin, for example, with no very definite appreciacion of the wonderful logic and Christian-like charity of this religion. The Nirvana is treated with far too careless a hand. The spirit, too, in wnich Mr. Clarke speaks of the investigations into the actual existence of Moses, comparing them with the Homeric question and with the idea that there were many Shakspeares, as if these were hypotheses of equal weight, instead of one being the uncontroverted opinion of toe most profound Greek scholars and the other an unsupported fancy, and then settling all these potnts by what would seem Most natural, without any regard to the evidence, shows that a religious mind is bat ill dtted for the task that the author has set himself, and that a cooler and more practised hand has yet to go over the whole work. Meanwhile we can only recom. Mend the work as a conventent book of reference for certain facts, which otherwise it would be dim- cult to find. More than that it does not seem to us to be, LITERARY CHIT-OHAT, JAMES BUCHANAN’S LIVE ts being written by Pro- fessor Jas, C.

THE SERMON TRADE in England, according to a writer in St, Paul's, 18 very extensive, though not strikingly remunerative to the poor devils of au- thors. The average price of original (?) sermons is quoted at one shilling and three pence to one shil- ling and six pence, postage paid, THAT FASHIONS CHANGE in nursery literature as well as in anything else is shown in the reported fact that nova single copy of “Bluebeard” can be found in the bookshops of London.

A FATAL NOCTURNAL ADVENTURE. A Reputed Thief and Burglor Killed by a Fall trom a Chamber Window, A case of a very singular nature was yesterday investigated before Coroner Keenan, at the City Hall, From the facts elicited it appears that Mrs. Charlotte Rettig and her husband occupy apartments on the second floor of the tenement nouse 420 fast Ninth street, About half-past one o'clock on the morning of the 10th instant Mr. Rettig was aroused from his slambers by hegring some one rummaging about in the room. He cried out “Thief im the nouse,” which awoke Mrs. Rettig, and during the intense excitement that ensued the man escaped through the rear window to the root of .a shed, from which he jumped to the siaewalk, a dis- tance of about twenty-five feet, completely disabling himself, Mr. Richard Harney, living in the same house, heard groans below, aud suspecting something wrong ran down stairs ana cried “Watch” at the top of his voice, which brought tothe spot Roundsman Little and Officer Kennedy, of the Seventeenth precinct. The man, wio on examination, who was found to have re fracture Of tie skull and other severe injuries, was recognized as Frederick Hoiner, a German, thirty- two years of age, Who lived on the top floor of 422 Kast Ninth street. He was immediately removed to Bellevue Hospital, aud no history of the case re- corded, for the very good reason that none was given to Warden Brennan, ‘Che officers iu the case were not then apprised of the facts, and tt was not | till yesterday that they were developed by tue ex. amination of witnesses under oath.

LEGRATN, P cot TRIKY-AECONG pITER ved a | Second Summer Exhibition of Paintings and Sculpture. Tt is, perhaps, too much to expect that even exhibition should be anything but dull and during the dog days; but some people are by nature exacting, and the genus critic adds to the hess of nature the unrelenting cruelty acquired the necessity of his profession. For him there 1s excuse and no tenderness, and even the swelt summer heat is unable to melt THE ICE OF CRITICISM that shuts out his heart from all the softer feelings: How the managers of the National Academy of Dex sign, knowing or suspecting this, could ever hav@ had the hardinood to throw open their doors andl invite the public, and with them the critics, to coma, and admire the works of art which are at present on! view, puzzies our comprehenston. Indeed, the satisfactory explanation that can be offered is ea the managers had taken refuge at the seaside or the shady nooks, and left the care of opening second summer exhibition and the selection of worka to the porter or the amtable lady who takes tha tickets. On any other supposition the present “@X~, hibition” can only be regarded as A HUGE PRACTICAL JOKE . on the public, for which the mnocent pay twen! five cents, This 1s not at all dear for a good joke: but the misfortune of the transaction is that % the Innocents take the matter seriously, and don’! at all perceive how funay the Academicians can atsuch a dull time, Jt is a melancnoly fact that good many of the intelligent public who go to the “Academy” imagine that they are in an art exhi tion all the time, and go away with strange notio! as to the colors and forms of rocks, trees, &c. they happen to have any acquaintance with natu they cannot help being struck by the originaltt shown by many of the artists, and their superior to the common forms of nature as seen in eld, and flower.

So far the trees and rocks and green sea that God has given us are immeasurably mord beautiful than anything the genius of man hag dreamed of, not to say produced, and therefore wa think the aspiring artists would do well to lock up their : ) DANGEROUS POWER OF INVENTION, i and try humbly, und trustiully, to paint what they see, 4 The geueral mediocrity of the firstsummer exhi¢ bition was at lcast relieved by the presence of @ small number Of good paintings, upon which th@ eye could rest with pleasure, and almost forget tha sud evideuces.of wasted labor that covered the wall in all direcuions. But most of these have gone, or, as the Ofticial Diirase hus 1, beea withdrawn, an have not been repiuced by any WORKS OF EXCEPTIONAL MERIT. Among the paimtugs wich we missed were S.
