Originelly published in Bld's Magazine. Blackwood and Sons. A Vision of Barbaroesa, and other Poems. By WILLIAM STIOANS. Chapman and HaIL Lyrics and Legends of Rome. With a Prol og ue and Epilogue. By Ines. Chapman and Hall The style of Pope is one of the easiest to imitate, and generally one of the most unsatisfactory when imitated. It is very doubtful whether we shall ever again have • genius inch as his, which be longed essentially to a condition, not merely of literature, but of society, that has now passed away ; and, without the genius, the mere form is unpleasant, because insincere. We do not deny to the author of "St. Stephen's" credit for a certain facility and smartness, and for • power of imitation which would make the fortune of • Chinaman ; but we have found his poem very dreary reading. For one felicitous couplet there are twenty peen of false declamation and tawdry platitude ; and, with • great affectation of terseness, the style is really diffuse and pour, as every style must necessarily be which results, not from the love of truth, but from the love of effect. The terseness, in fact, is a mare , 1 trick of manner, derived from a prodigal use of arbitrary and violent antitheses—from a laboured balancing of one half of the line against the other. The present age is too much in earnest to be' . satisfied with such " cuckoo-song verses " as the author of "St. Stephen's" has here put forth, and will not accept as a truthful utterance what the author himself evidently but half believes in. Imagine 136 pages made up after this fashion : Apart from what is mid and whet is done, There is a force by which the world is woe, Born in men's destin'd ruler !—Reasou halt. To gauge the merits or assess the faults, While forth itignamfd magnetic influence flows, Attracts they or annerree the foes. Of St. John, Lord Bolingbroke, we read : Sighing for ease, yet ever kern for strife, leno's Au creed, yet Aretin's his life ; With Protean grace through every change he sports, Now siring senates, now perplexing courts ; A soul of Same, though both • brand and torch, Firing the camp or elaseling from the porch. Behold him sow, not in his autumn day, But the full flowerig of his dainty May ; Not Pope's sad Mead, and soul-deceiving guide, Bat CU 111Mds's darling aid the Chererride. How the foie sweet, en a sound r end, =Tthe path for the melodious word ; each gesftre force with ease allied, And sunk posies with patricide pride; And oh, that style! so stately, sweet, and strong, Which, tamely read, ham all the charm of What meet its power o'er beating hearts ha a v al stesa, The gears speaking while the man was seen, A man of genius would have rolled all this up in a line, or half a line ; but your " terse " style of writing imperiously demands antithesis—and antithesis, when not employed by the hand of a master, such as Cowley, Dryden, or Pope, is only a synonym for verbiage. Here is another spe cimen : Gay time and strange, when George the Fourth war young, By Gilroy pointed, and by Hanlerry sang ; When peers, six -bottled, talk'd as Marat reek, And Devon's kiss seduced a blacksmith's rote, — Paine and Petronitta equally in vogue, Des Juan in the wile of demagogue. Make sure of your antithesis—no matter how obvious or how inapplicable—and the thing is done. Take care to balance Gihsy against Hanbury, talking against writing, kissing against voting, Paine against Petronius—and see bow witty you are, at how small a wet of brains ! You may spread the merest grain of idea over half a dozen pages, and get credit for being marvellously compact and sen tentious. The experienced reader thinks there must needs be a whole orb of thought wheeling on that nicely-balanced pole of " Paine and Petro nius," and admires accordingly. Well, to all such we commend this poem of "St. Stephen's." They will find in it some clever writing of the flashy order we have indicated, and some few couplets of a better kind ; but the thing is false, and, like other falsehoods, has no chance of living. Mr. Stigant'e volume is of varying merit. The find of his poems—" A Vision of Barbaroesa in the Mountains of Salzburg"—war composed on the occasion of the Austrian Concordat, and is "based on the legend of the Emperor Barbaroesa, who is said with all his knights to be shut up in the mountains around Salzburg, and to send forth his page from time to time, to see if the ravens are still abroad. The ravens are symbolical of the Papal power. When the page shall return with • favourable reply, Barbarous& will come trium phantly forth with his host, to inaugurate a new era." This is like the old British legend of King Arthur, who is to return some day from the mysterious " island valley of Avilion." We cannot say that Mr. Stigant has glorified the one legend, as Tennyson has glorified the other. The " Vision of Barbels:ism " is not worthy of the sub ject nor is it worthy of Mr. Stigiuit's own powers. The description of the enchanted region in the mountains is splendid, but overwrought, and in its heaped-up gorgeousness is rather too like the con cluding scene of a Lyceum burlesque. The style, moreover, is youthful and immature. Of • far higher mood is " Samson and Delilah," which con tains some noble writing, and would be worthy of the greatest praise were it not so like in manner to some of Tennyson's blank verse poems, erkq the legend of Merlin and Vivien in the " though, here and there, in the excessive rich ness of the imagery, we are reminded of Keats. The reader shall have • specimen : Here, as she gutted, Samson rats, sad came And glued his arm shoat her wait, and looked Down tenderly upon hr. With simile Upon her glittering lips, she bast herself From Samson's arm away, and drooped her bead ; Then swayed herself, and threw her soft bore arm— Her round and queenly alabaster ann— Bound Samson's neck, and hid her face upon His shoulder, and there hung, sad spoke no word ; Only her ample shoulders' whiteness pulsed, As though with hid emotion. Samson said, Four moons, fair Dahlah, have bluely run, Sines first I saw thee at the haltinglilace Where the three roads meet, at the rocky way Of Etam. I bad panned you with your train, A little ere the great square hostel gate : I strode along—look'd not to right, to left, For I was hast'ning to my midday rut ; But all your troop shrunk from me as I pmee.l, And push'd across the road. I heard the news With fearful whis pe r go from mouth to mouth, ' Room, room for Samson ! keep well from his path !' All looked askant and palely u I passed. Th' arcaded caravanserai! I reached, And took a pitcher from a maiden's lurid Who stood there at the well, and drank full deep, For I had milled that day from early dawn. My crust and olives then into the shade I took and ate, and threw me on the ground, And in a moment was quite sound asleep ; For 1 fear'd God, and had no other fear, Knowing Hr would protect me as I slept. When I awoke the sun was shining slant, Three hours past midday, 'twee the Mu to stir, And I arose.

Thu first I notic'd thee as thou didst rise From off thy cushion'd carpet where the noon Thou hadst repos'd and when I saw thee look I felt saham'cl, beholding all the sheen And wealthy brilliance which beset thee round." Mr. Stigant writes with a generous sympathy for all outraged truth, which gives his poems a double charm. We anticipate for him a future of excel lence, if he will industriously do his best. The last of the three poems on our list is • feeble attempt at Byrosian wit and humour. The subject is very hackneyed now-a-days ; and as " Idea" has no ideas of his own on the subject, but is only heavily flippant, we fear that most of his readers will do as wo have found ourselves compelled to do--set the volume aside long before it is finiahed.

The annual meeting of this society, held yester day, was commenced with a conference at Radley's Hotel, et one o'clock. The chair was taken by W. B. EDIVLIIDS, Esq., the trea surer of the society. The Trumetnum presented his account, which showed that the subscriptions and donations amounted to 3611. 14e. 9d., the total on that side being 3,78 9 4 75. 2d. payments amounted to 3,4561. 15e. 6d., and the balance in hand to 3311. lle.

The Rev. L Dom seconded the resolution. Mr. WEITINtItaT trusted that there would be more than ever correspondence between constituencies and their mem ber y so as to prevent a deeertion on a future occesion. Mr. liti.xx said he bad been extremely gratified and sup ritdby the tom of the council on what some considered the recent disaster but which be considered to be no disaster whatever. ( Hear, hear.) Although he would have preferred to have had the bill read a third time by a majority of 73, and should have needed the event in in. dicative of the pinyon and the power of the Libeeetion. Society, be could say that the unexpected diminetiOn el that majority had done nothing to dishearten or to dinner his own mind upon the subject. They had taken up Ilis subject of church rates, not on amount of its intrimie be. portauce, but simply as an instrument for the furtherance of that great object - which they all professed to have in view] when they instituted that amociation. (Hear.) There could be no question that, had they carried, triumphantly, the &bolt- - non of the rate, they wotid have been placed for some . time to oome in • position of considerable embarrassment as to the beat mode in which they could carry on their movement. (Hear, hear.) With regard to the aboli tion of church rates, it was extremely desirable; simply be cause it would take the discussion of a greet question out of the atmosphere of personal and social animosity, and put it into a higher sphere, where it might be mdmlrdebated: Bat, inasmuch as the clergy of the eetablishmeetpreferred to diocese the principle at • Mate-church upon-the narrow basis of church Way they could have no possible objettion to such a decision. (Hear, hear.) From the first they had always felt that it bad given to them a very strong ground with those who could not be brought to take an interest, in the abstract question, and it would be difficult to select i question upon which more adVlDtolooll2ly to reason out their principles. The recent decision would prove' to, be a great advantage if it • sent them back to a mon searching, stud i ous,' religions, and prayerful •of, and confidence in their first. prineiplee (CheeraTt they had one reason more paramount and peening than another for their action, it was this, that they belieVid; fron.itheir knowledge and appreciation of the spirit, aims end genius of Chri, that the introduction of the element of civil sid4 ebanity ricel kws into the maaagernent of the Wiwi cif the rif Christ, is greatly detrimental to the in tweets and, eansequendy, in a large degree dew illehnkvis en us, or both, to the souls al men.

B. Robinson (Bristol), Cripps (Leicester), Brown (Houghton), Goddard (Ipswich), . . . 011IVILL Wl:Limns the secretary) then proceeded to report the proceedings of the executive during the past Mr. Mr. COLIDIAN, of Norwich, moved a resolution—" That this rafting re)oioee at the evidence afforded during the part year of the extent to which public opinion has been influenced by the exertions of the society, and of the grow ing confidence reposed in it by the friends of voluntaryi.in throughout the connta7 ; while it congratulates the execu tive committee en the unabated vigour of their operations, notwithstanding the unprecedented opposition they have had to encounter." . The Rev. H. HINTON, in supporting the resolution, said he did not care a straw for the diminished majority on the third reading of the Anti-Church Rate Bill. The matter reined not with noble lords and hon. members. The battle of the church rates must be fought in the parishes. It had been won there partly, and it would be won there entirely in the end, whether it was won beforehand in the houses of parliament or not. The Rev. Me Holm; who also spoke in support of the resolution, held that the society was religious in its princi ple, its object and its bane, and though it was forced into the region of politics they had taken up the question on pure." , Christian grounds. It was on those grounds that he =i• state church. There was a close connexion, he t, between civil and religions liberty. They wanted to take nothing from the establishment, but they did not want that church to take anything from them. What they contended for was perfect freedom for all sects, and that those who did not belong to the church establishment should not be taxed for its support. He trusted that the clause in the Census Bill which required every person to make • return of what religion or what religious sect he or she belonged to would be determinedly opposed, and that so inquisitorial a proposition would be made emus' . The CII,IIMILIN stated that the subject of the Census I clause had been considered by the council of the association that morning, and a comae of action resolved upon in re ference to it. But he could assure the meeting that it had not been lost eight of by the dissenting and liberal mem bers of parliament, and representations bad been made to the Home Secretary on the subject by a deputation, headed by Mr. Bright. It was obvious the proposal had emanated from certain friends of the church, whose object evidently was to put down in the returns those es members of the established church who were of no religion at all. The dis senting members of the House of Commons were deter mined to offer to the clause the most strenuous opposition. The resolution was then put and carried. Mr. CONRAN, of Bristol, moved— " That, while en couraged by the advanced position of the movement con ducted.l.7 the society the meeting has • deep sense of the i responsibility now cast upon its executive committee, and of the necessity for affording to them on all occasions faithful, energetic, and liberal support ?' and expressed his full confidenee in the speedy success of the volantary principle in religion generally, which he be lieved would be supported ere long by a very large party in the established church. Swarez supported the motion, which was put and carried. Mr. E Mum., who was loudly and repeatedly cheered, next addressed the meeting. He called attention to the different feeling with which the association was looked upon sowtythe public as compared with that in which they re it 18 years ago when it was first established. They Cirbeen told that measures of religious liberty were not to be decided upon their own merits in that house in which Lord Derby sat, if such measures emanated from the Liberation society. Well, that might be a phase of the con test through which they had to pass. They were told they did not know when they were beaten. That was true, for vital and true principles could not die. Everything was working for them. They had heard of the coming ceases ; why the increase of the population was working for them. It was obvious that the principles of the state church could not be extended. What, then, was to become of the increasing population' They could only be supplied in struction by the voluntary . principle. Why that principle was now in full operation In the church itself, which was obliged to resort to ft to supply the wants of those large MAWS of the population which in all our large towns were congregated in belie just outside the limits of the endowed parishes. Did they suppose they could confine that pin ciple permanently to those belts? He did not reprd the majority of nine on Sir John Trehiwny's, bill as a falling off, considering the altered state of partly@ in the present House of Commoma. Then it should be borne in mind, that the other side, though brought to the lobby by the most complete and systansatio "whip," which the friends of the bill had no machinery for carrying out, numbered ten less than on the previous occasion—(hear, bead—sad that, too, when the I battle was accepted by the conservatives as • question of an establishment or no establishment. But the friends of voluntaryism did not attenall look at the ehurch-rate question as all important. They only cared about it as • part of the far larger principle of • full and entire separation of church and stets. It was that for which they contended, and upon that they would swept no compromise. Church rates, so far frees .ajuring them MUM, assisted it, and as loug es they ET WOPENCE. oontinued tbey would becomes mosteffective meansd operat ing upon the largm question. In conclusion, he moved a vote of thanks to the chairman, whom he highly eulogised for his conduct in parliament, and generally for his consistent and steady adherence to liberal principles, both in religion and politics. lir. EDWARDS seconded the motion, which having been carried, .SO CHlalltAll briefly acknowledged it, and the proceed ings were than brought to a eunclusioe.

Last night the anniversary festival of thin ex cellent charity was celebrated at the London Tavern, the Duke of CamM.Wge presiding. There was a very numerous company on the occasion. After the usual loyal and con stitutional toasts, which were drunk with enthusiasm, the Chairman proposed the toast of the evening, " Prosperity to the London Hospital." With regard to the advantages of the institution he had to remind them that in the last 1T28,290 patents were treated in the hospital, of whom 69 were mpatients and 24,621 were out-patients. e London Hospital WAS situated in the midst of • large working populalson, and therefore the number of accident cases attended to in the hospital might be expected to be very considerable. There were 12,000 such cases. fleeing that there were only 1,230 area recommended by governors, the hital might be regarded as a free h. ital. The annual expenditure hitherto amounted to 17, I I ~ of which 12,0001. was fixed income, so that 5.1i001. had to he made up by voluntary contributicos. The present year was a peculiarly bad one, as the charity lost 1,500/. by the fallin g in of the long annuities. The deficiency, therefore, to be made up on the present occasion amounted to 7,0001. per annum. The requirements of the hospital had greatly increased in recent years, because the bene fits of the charity had been greatly extended. He had therefore to make a special appeal to them on the occasion, and he hoped he would not appeal to them n vain. The appeal of the chairman was responded to by the largest contribution that was ever made on a similar coca sion in the City of London-23,8491. The announcement of this magnificent subscription was received with loud ap plause. The band of the Fusilier Guards played • selection of music during dinner, and several excellent *nogg, selected by Hr. Francis, were sung on the occasion. lir. Harker officiated as toastmaster. FIELD-LANE RAGGED SCHOOLS AND REFUGES FOR THE HOMELESS. The annual meeting of this charitable institution was held at St. Martin's Hall last evening. The Right Hon. the Earl of Saarrinimar, president of the institution, occupied the chair ; and on the.platform with him were the Bishop of Ripon, Lord H. Cholmondeley, Sir J. Lawrence, Bart., K.C.R with several of the London clergymen said dissenting ministers, and one from the United til.tates, the Rev. Dr. Maclean. The report of the committee, which was read by lir. S. Taunt, the honorary secretary, was of great length, but a printed abstract of it wee .wcdated in the meeting. lc de scribed the free day schools for boys, girls, and infants, av~errasggiinog~ from 300 to 350 • the adult evening schools ; the indastnal claims • the fe m ale servants' preparatory , class ; the mothers' class ; for housekeeping and other home duties ; the penay savings bank ; the night refuges, of which 8,147 males and 1,368 women had availed themselves during the put year • the clothing society ; the maternal society. ; the Bible clas;es • the ragged church service; the missionary visitations, a nd the monthly prayer meetings. It was stated that upwards of 10,000 of the poor and destitute of London had participated in some of the advantages of the institu tion during the port year. Of this number 1,580 had been taken from the streets, and placed out where they now en emies' their own powers, end enjoy the blessing of self-de pendence. The finances bad been well kept up during the peat year. The alterations and exposes Incurred for the new refuges were all paid, and a furt he r sum of 2,0001. had been invested, so as to make the interest of the permanent fund equal to all the rents. The annual subscriptions had increased, but did not yet equal the expenditure. The L or d Bi s h o p of Roots moved the first resolution, for the adoption and printing of the repeat, which was seconded by the Nev. NEWMAN HALL. The second resolution was moved by Mr. T. CHAMBER/4. the Common Reelfoot, and seconded by the Rev. Mr. Heat- DEMON. The meeting was afterwards addressed by the Rev. Mr. Buis; Mr. J. PAY SR, Assistant-Judge of the Middlesex Sessions, and the Rev. P. HOOD. The president, committee, and officers were elected for the ensuing year. Sir J. Lawn:rice, in moving a vote of thanks to the noble chairman, said there was no truer conservative, and no truer reformer, than the man who devoted his social influence and his talents, his time and labour, to the furtherance of objects like this, binding the different classes of our people together, the high and wealthy to the lowest and the by thus holding out the hood of charity, of Chris rreioaonflet fellowship and kindness to the lost, the degraded, and the miserable. The work which Lord Shaftesbury hail performed, whether it was regarded in • social, a political,or • religious aspect, entitled him to be considered the greatest benefestor of his countrymen.
