They were, undoubtedly, however, of the very highest description. The estima tion in which he was held by the greatest men • of his own, not the least of any ege, sufficiently p/oves this. The companion of Johnson anti Burke, of Goldsmith and Reynolds, of For and Gibbon, must have been no common man, in dependent altogether of his theatrical abilities. Like all persons of the highest class of intellect- his talents were not confined to his own pro fession ; they shone out in every department of thought. He was as great at the supper of the literary club, when in presence of the eloquence of Burke, or the gladiatorial powers of John son, as when he entranced the audience of Covent Garden pr Drury Lane. Those who enjoyed his friendship, spoke in the highest terms of his conversational powers, as well as the varied subjects of information which exer cised his thoughts, and the simple and amiable jurn of his mind. As an actor, his most remarkable quality was his versatility. He had few advantages from nature; his figure, though far from diminutive, was neither tall nor commanding; his counten ance was far from being cast in the antique mould; his voice neither remarkably sonorous ,nor powerful; but ali these deficiencies were supplied, and more than supplied, by the ener gy of his mind, and the incomparable powers of observation which he possessed. There never was such a delineation, at ouce of the tragic and comic passions. He united the eye of Ho garth for the ludicrous, and that of Salvator for the terrible; that of Caracci for the patKetic, and that of Velasque? for the dignified. It was this close observation of nature which constituted his gfeat power, aud enabled him to wield ut ;will t and with such surprising power, the magic wand which swayed the feelings of his audience, alternately rousing them to the highest exalta tion of the tragic, and the utmost strength of the comic passions. This peculiar power, howev er, had its disadvantages; it made him fond pf stage effect, and condescend to trick. He per formed Lear on crutches, to add to the effec.t of the great scene, when he threw them away. It is difficult to conceive how such a combina tion can exist in the same individual; und cer tainly-experience affords very few instances of a similar union. But the examples of Shake speare and Sir W. Scott prove that such a blending of apparently heterogeneous qualities may be found in the most highly gifted dramat ic poets. Napoleon’s celebrated saying, ’from the sublime to the ridiculous is but a step,’ m ty possibly afford, in a certain degree, a key to the mystery. And the peculiarity was, probably, founded, in both, on the same accurate eye for the working of the human heart, and power of graphic delineation, which, alike in the poet and the performer, is the foundation of drama tic excellence. A most competent eye-witness has left the following graphic picture of the wonderful pow- er of imitating the expression of human passion which Garrick possessed. In the chapter in which Fielding describes the behaviour ot Par tridge at the theatre, he says;— ‘Partridge, upon seeing the ghost in Hamlet, gave that credit to Mr. Garrick which he had denied to Jonts, and fell into so violent a fit of tumbling, that his knees knocked together— Jones asked him what wa3 the matter, and whether he was afraid of tlie warrior upon the NEW GOODS, m G.

I am not afraid of anything, for I know it is but a play; and even if it was really a ghost, it could do no harm at such a distance and in so much company; and yet, if I was frightened, I am not the only person.” “Why who,” cried Jones, “dost thou take to he such a coward here besides thyself 1” “Nay, you may call me a coward if you will; but if that little ‘man on the stage there is not frightened I never saw any man frightened in my life ‘He sat with his eyes partly fixed on the ghost, and partly on Hamlet, and with his mouth open. The same passions which succeeded each other in Hamlet, succeeded euch other al so in him. ‘At the end of .the play, Jones asked him which of the players he liked Best. To this he answered, with some appearance of indignation at the question— “The King, without doubt.” “Indeed, Mr. Partridge,” says Mr. Miller, “you are not of the same opinion as the rest of thclown, for they are all agreed that Hamlet is acted by the best player who ever was on the stage.” “He the best player,” cries Partridge, with a contemptuous speer, “Why, I could act as well as he myself. l am sure, if I had seen a ghost, I should have looked in the very same manner, and done just as He did. And then, to be sure, in thai scene, as you call it, between him and his inother, where you told me he acted so fine, why any man—that is, any good man—that had such a mother, would have done exactly the ‘sarhe. I know yoii are only joking with me; but although, madam, I never was at a play in London, yet 1 have seen acting before in the country, and the king for my money. He spoke all his words distinctly, and half as loud again as the other. Any body may seo he is an actor,” It is impossible to image a finer compliment to the superlative skill of the actor which per sonated nature so exactly, that it was mistaken by the countryman for it. MRS. SIDDONS. If nature had done little, comparatively speaking, for Garrick, except endowing him with these wonderful powers, the same.cannot be said of the majestic actress who, after him, sustained the dignity of the British stage. Mrs. Siddons was born a great tragedian. Ever, quality, physical and mental, requisite for the formation of that character appears to have been combined in that wonderful woman. A nobto countenance, cast in the finest Roman model; dark eyes anJeyebrows; a profusion of black hair; a powerful and sonorous, but yet melodious voice; were the advantages which nature gave her to follow out her elevated des tiny. Her mind corresponded with this digni fied exterior. It was essentially heroic. Sir Joshua Reynold’s noble picture of her, seated in the old English arm-chair, as the muse of tragedy, embodies the finest conception of her character. She had not the quickness of Gar rick’s observation, the marvellous versatility of his powers. There was a certain degree of sameness in all her representations; but it was the sameness of the IUiador the Paradise Lost. Her mind appeared to be so elevated, that she could personate, in perfection at least, none but lofty and heroic characters. Like Corneille, she could not descend to common life; the he roine was ever apparent. In private soejety, she was stately and unbending; her most inti mate friends could scarcely approach her with out awe. She had no playfulness of disposition, no abandon about her; the tragedy queen was ever adherent. But she pqurtrayed to perfec tion the passions of that character. The world had never seen—perhaps it will never again see—anything comparable to her delineatio.n of female characters of a lofty and dignified des cription on the British stage. Queen Con stance, Lady Macbeth, Mrs.Haller, Jane Shore, and others of that description, were those which suited her best; and the softening of such char acters by suffering, or their rousing by ambi tion, were exhibited by her with the utmost power of the tragic art. ‘ It was not in these characters only, however, that Mrs. Siddons excelled. Nature had appa rently intended her for them; But her genius caused her to embrace a wider range. Belvi- dera, Desdemotta, Juliet, Cordelia; Ophelia, Mrs. Beverly, were also constantly acted by her, and with never-failing effect. But this ef fect arose from lier perfect command of tragic emotion; it was in the terrible, not the winning scenes that she was supremely great. She was too dignified, too proud, too lofty to personate the attractive with entire success. None could fail to admire, but scarce any could think of loyiug her. The man who ventured to do so would have expected to be' withered by a glance. You might as well have thought of falling in love with a queen on the throne. It was when the characters she represented were broken by suffering, that her astonishing pow. ers shone forth in their full lustre. Thus it was not Juliet charmiug ali the world by the grace of her movements iu the masquerade, or her tenderness in the balcony scene; but Juliet con templating witn horror her resurrection amidst her ancestors’ bones, or expiring in the arms of Romeo, in front of the tomb of the Capulets, which riveted every eye, and melted every heart in the audience. It was not Belvidera persuading Jaffier to betray his comrade, by the witchery of all powerful love, but Belvidera when she hears the fatal bells toll on the scaf fold, or where she goes mad at the recital of the tragic scene which then ensued, which is indeli bly imprinted on the recollection of all who wit nessed it. But when she did come to the scenes of woe, Mrs. Siddons was marvellously powerful. • Inaccessible to the softer, she seems lo have felt the full force of the sterner passions. The thrill of horror, the wail of anguish, the maniac cry of madness were represented by her with inimitable effect. Her scream, when she fell on her knees, in Belvidera, and said, ‘I’ll dig,’ can never be forgotten by any who heard it. At the distance of fivo and-thiriy years it is as present to the memory as the first moment the words were uttered. Although -Mrs. Siddons constantly acted the tragic characters in Shakespeare, she was not altogether Shakespearian in her ideas. Her mien was too dignified, her figure too command ing, her mind t jo lofty to embrace the variety of characters which floated into the mind of the bard of Avon. It would be unjust to say she was always on stilts, for she often thrilled eve ry heart when she came off them; but she was on them sufficient!y often to impress that as the general character of her mind. r l he Greek drama would have suited her better than the romantic. She would have made a noble An tigone, and personated to perfection the daugh ter of Agamemnon. Albeit born in England, and nursed from her infancy to the study ot the romantic drama, she see rued to have embraced more closely the spirit ol Corneille than of Shakespeare in her acting. France never pro duced any thing comparable to the genius with which she would have represented the heroines of Clnna, tho Cid, or Polyeucte. She would have made a great Zayre or Alzire; but the ten derness of Racine would have failed in her hands. Garrick was superior to her in obser vation of nature—greatly so in versatility of ge nius; but he was far inferior in the delineation of passion in great and heroic minds. I hat she took from nature; but it was nature seen through the medium of hpr own disposition, and stamped with its image and superscription. (fHE FALLS OF NIAGARA. We do not know that we ever met with any attempt to describe the Falls of Niagara which reculled to our mind more vividly the realities of this great Wonder of Nature, than the fol lowing pair of pictures of the same’, extracted from Sir F. B. Head’s last work, “The Emi grant,” as we find them copied in the lust num ber of the “Angio-AmeHcan;” BY NIGHT. It was in the depth of winter, near midnight, and pitch dark, when, follqwing.the footsteps bf a trusty guide, I traversed the dry, ciTsp snow, until 1 came to a few rugged steps which I could only Very slowly descend. “A little this way!"'muttered my guide, as for some se- cohds I was lingeriug on a spqt from which my other foot, after fumbling in vain, could feel no landing place at all. At last, after blundering for a short distance among trees, and over snow- covered obstacles of various shapes, 1 arrived oh a flat surface, which I immediately felt in be glare ice, and along which, my conductor lead ing mb by his hard hand very slowly, we cau- tiously proceeded until in a low voice he an nounced to the that I had reached the point to 'which I had directed him to conduct me—the table rock of Niagara. I could see nothing, aod for that very reason I had come; for in the various visits which at different seasons of the year I had made to this spot, I had felt so con fused with what I saw and heard—my atten tion had been so distracted, sometimes by one organ and sometimes by another—sometimes by “Oh look!” and someiimes by “Oh listen/” that I had resolved I would try and meet my enemies one at a time; and even this I fmtod to be almost more than njy senses could en dure. But, although I could see nothing, I felt and heard a great deal. My first sensation was that the “dreadful sound cf waters in mine ears” was a substantial danger; and that I was an ac tor in, and actually in the midst of what, as a passing stranger, 1 had come merely lo con template. The cold thick vapor' that arose from the caldron immediately beneath me, par taking of eddies fh the atjpnsphere, created al so by what was passing below, ascending and descending, rushed sometimes down upon m« from behind as if it had determined to drive me into the abyss; then it quietly enveloped iro as if its object were to freeze me to death; then suddenly it would puff full in my face, and then whirl round me as if to invite me to join in itd eccentric dance. But while my eyebrows, eyelashes anil hair were heavily laden with thii condensed vapor, which had rested on them like flour on the head of a miller, from the sama cause my attention was constantly arrested by loud crashes of falling ice frqm the boughs of. the trees behind me, which thus occasional^ ridded themselves of the enormous masses which, from the congealution of this vapor, were constantly settling upon them. Yet, al though the sensations and noises I have de scribed were quite sufficient to e.ngros3 my at tention, it was of course mainly attracted by the confused roar and boiling of the great cata ract, .whose everlasting outline, though veiled by darkness, was immediately before me. For a considerable time I listened to it all with the feelings of confusion I had so often before ex perienced; but as I became gradually accustom ed to the cold, whirling vapor that surrounded me, as well as to the sudden crashing noises be hind me, 1 felt myself by degrees enabled—at first imperfectly and then distinctly—to ana lyze and separate from each other the various notes of the two different instruments of wliicti the roar of Niagani is composed—namely, the deep thundering tone’ or the fall of more than a hundred millions of ions of water per hour over a precipice of one hundred and fifty feet; nnd the raging, hissing, lashing, and boiling of all this water in tho confined caldron beneath. Tlid more I studied tiiis language, the more clearly I understood it. until, in the ever-changing bbj: unceasing thunder of its eloquence I could al ways trace, in different proportions, and often apparently in different places, the presence of. these two voices in concert. Sometimes the stunning, deafening noise proceeding from three thousand six hundred millions of dubii feet per hour of an element of the same specific gravity as oak, suddenly arrested in its fall from one hundred an’d fifty feet,'would appa 1 rently sb completely overpower every other, that I felt I could point in the dark precisely to the bottom of the falls; at other times, nothing beneath was heard but the raging of broken water, while the thunder that created it was resounding high overhead, and sometimes fur away, as if a heavy battering train of artillerjr were trotting through the forest over a paved road. BY DAYLIGHT. It was in ihe depth of the same winter that I again descended the same rugged steps, tra versed the same ice, and ouce stood, as nearly as possible, on the very same spot of the same ta ble-rock. It was bright daylight. Behind me every tree, every rock, as well' as the solitary cottage that enlivens them, were covered with a glittering coating of congealed ice, which wa$ also reposing in heavy masses upon the depress ed branches of the adjoining forest. The unu» silal brilliancy of this white scenery was deser ving of great attention, but I neither dared not* had I inclination 'to look at it, because close to, and immediately before me, there stood, partiali ly enveloped in .the h Q lo of its own glory, that great cataract, termed by the indians, “ O-NI- aw-ga-kah,” “the thunder of water.” As soon as, by the utterance of a deep Sigh, I had record eredfrom a vain attempt to repress the variou*. emotions that overwhelmed me, on suddenly finding myself within a few feet of so many miB lions of tons of falling water, which had not un justly been compared to an ocean thrown over u precipice, the first detail that attracted my eyes was the astonishing slowness with which the enormous mass was apparently descending into the milk-white “ hubble-bubble-'to-and trouble’,’ see up of confusion' which ‘Was raging far beneath. About fouNfifths of the water which formed the Cataract before me was of a lovely, clear, deep grefen hue ; and as I earnest ly gazed at it, it was beautiful to observe iri this semi-transparent fluid the opaque masses of ice which, first appearing on the crest," were easily traced descending leisurely in the fluid, in which, iike the white patches in green mar; ble, they were inbedded. The remaining fifth part of the magnificent current before me was composed of mudtiy wa ter from Chippewa creek, which, running into the Niagara river about a mile above, flows, without°being permitted to mix with the pure stream, untilffalling with it over the precipice;' it forms a broad red border to the variegated mass 1 have describfed. About a mile abova’ the cataraci, ihe advancing voiume of deep wa ter which, imprisoned within the' bordages of itlte Niagara River, is cheerfully emigrating from its native fresh inland seas to the distant salt ocean, receives its first check from some hid den rocks over which it falls about seventy feet in a series of splendid white breakers. The confusion is of course appalling ; but as delirium often leaves the human patient just be fore his death, so does this water, previous to its fall, completely recover its tranquil character, and thus for the last hundred yards itnpproach-' es its fate with that dignity,'serenity, and resig nation which attend it to the edge ol the cata ract, and which, as 1 have'already staled, faith: fully accompany it in its descent. THIS YEAR. The observer of signs tiiaV Iook upon 7SA7 with a fearful face. The year beginV with Fri day anil ends with Friday—that very unlucky day. The 4 th of July' c6mes on Su/iday—very unlucky- Forthe'fii'st'timo in the “recollection bf the oldest inhabitant.” there will' be no full moon this year in tho nioptb ot February—un lucky month. Our national political day begins oti*Sunday, the 4th of March—unlucky day.— Then* will be no eclipse visible in tho year— unlucky for the star-gazers. But as an onset for the whole, January is to be blessed with two full moons, and March will) a .like numbfer this wil] be lucky, and will perhaps throw light enough over the dark features ot the year to overcome ail evil prognostications.—Ports mouth Journal.
