WARRNIVIANA, NOTES, CRITICAL AND EXPLANATORY. EDITOR OF • QUARTERLY REVIEW. of this ingenious jest d esprit has not only t resources of humour, combined with a keen wit, but he has manifested poetical talents of order. It is not often that we meet with an possessing such powers of imitation, and pre manner of each poet with such peculiar and ity. It is the characteristic of real genius that a subject out of anything, and that, be the so homely, yet, when embodied in a fine and ,ination, it Lecomes full of attraction,anti is ford the must exquisite delight. There is no that, judging a priuri, we should have supposes' to deal with than that of IVA aam. x's/dacking, -.isle less likely to furnish food for the Muses than the ill's of all kinds with which it has been forced into notoriety. So it is, however, that these most unpromising subjects—die blacking manufacturer and his eulogies— have been made productive, in thiefrle fancy of this writer, whoever he may be, of theh repast of parody which his lively volume spreads before us. The style of ‘V as hington Irving, in prose, and of 11'slter Scott, n °rile worth, Southey, Lord Byron, Coleridge, and other names of celebrity in song, are admirably bitcelebrated tiohle author will be r eadil y recog,nissd in the following ex tract from the (li/de's pilgrimage : But hark, the hum of multitudes, the roar Of carts and coachm, and the various' squalls cries, that pierce the ear-drones 'truest core, (lave roused the Childe's attention at Saint Paul's. l'heapside to near Guildhall in thunder calls, Guildhall replies, of tongs ooh justice proud; Milk-street and Lothbury glad to join the brawls, Have found a tongue, while Wood-street from her shroud &bellows to Lad-lane, who calls to her aloud. And in the midst, as leader of the band, Stands the magnificent Saint Paul's;—he towers Sublime to heaven, by winnowing breezes Named, l'oknowii on lower earl ;—the rattling showers, The storm, the whirlwind that in,vemigeanct lowers, ?Aim him u nhaned s---he lift, his gtant brow, As if in mockery of their poky powers, Or rapt in clouds like conscious guilt is wee, Soars from the vulgar he a mystery as now. Something too much of this; but now 'tis past, And Fleet-street spreads her busy vale below : ! proud ambitious gutters hurry past, To rival Thames in full continuo:as flow ; The Inner Temple claims attention now, That I:olsitha of thick and thread-bare skulls, Where modest merit Mita in chambers low, And impudence his oar in triumph pulls Along the stream of wealth, and snares its rich sea-gulls. Hail to this shrine of barristers and brass! Of wigs and wags., of kerning and of lead Solomon's brazen temple—but alas! With old king Log, king Solomon instead. Ye gifted spirits or the legal dead , Will time arise to grace degraded l aws ? Vain hope, despite the lore of each g head, Satan hath found their lives a moral Haw, And on them, bailiff-like, bath laid his ebOn paw. And thus the world is rife alone with fools, Who dank in chains while fashion holds the noose; Court, camp, and church,—what are they but the tools Of sin, shame, slang, buffoonery, and abuse ? Manus with man has made a lasting truce. And hence our patriots puff,—our warriors bray,— lience critics flood us with a muddy sluice Of maudlin prose.--hence cant holds sovereign sway, And sinless saints are spurted, while sainted sinners pray. (her life is one tierce fever—death the leech Who lulls each throb ; —the has been, and to be ; The sole divine whose welcome aid can teach The mysteries of a dread Intutity.— Conte when he may, his advent will to me lie spnng and sunshine, for my soul is dark, And o'er the billows of life's shorties& sea, A sea tmeheer'd by hope's celestial ark, Cradled is storms and winds floats lone my little bark. 'rhos mused the Chalk, as thoughtful he drew near Tile sacred shrine of Number Thirty, Strand, And saw bright glittering in the hemisphere— Like sant on moony nights—a sacred hand tlf words that formed the bard's cognomen-grand &eh letter shone beneath the eye of day, And the proud sign.boot, by spring breezes fanned, Shot its deep brass reflections o'er t! t way, As shoots the tropic morn o'er meads of l'araguay. " The Dream, a Psychological curiosity," is given with a vivacity and truth of resemblance that lead the mind immediately to the original. The subject is well sustained throughout. It opens thus:— Ten minutes to ten by Stint Dunstan's clock, And the owl has awakened the crowing cock : Pock• If he crows at this rate in so thrilling a note, Jess Maria! he'll catch a sore throat. • Warren the manufacturer rich 'lath a spectral mastiff bitch ; To it aint Dunstan's clock, the' silent enow, She barketh hot chorus of how wow, wow : Bow for the quarters, and WOW for the hour; Nought cares she for the sun nr the shower ; But when, like a ghost all.arrayed in its shroud, The wheels of the thunder are muffled in cloud, When the moon, sale chandelier of night, Bathes the blessed earth in light, As wizard to wizard, or witch to witch, Ilowleth to heaven this mastiff bitch. Buried in thought OlVarren lay, Like a village aueen on the birth of May ; Be listed the tact: of Saint Dunstan's cluck, Of the mastiff bitch and the crowing cock ; But louder, far louder, he listed a roar, Loud as the billow that booms on the shore; Bang, bang, with a pause between, Rung the weird sound at his door, I ween. Up front his couch he leaped in affright, (lped his grey lattice and looked on the night, Then put un his oust, and with harlequin bop Stood like a phantom in midst of the shop; In midst of his shop he stood like a sprite, Till peering to left and peering to right, Beside his counter, with tail in hand, Ile saw a spirit of darkness stand ; 1 guess %was frightful there to see. A lady so scantily clad as she Ugly and old exceedingly. The pugilistic contest between his Satanic Majesty and " V. - arren, the pride of the Strand," is describetl in the bight st Wain of technical humour. We cannot resist the fa:lowing short quotation : Bound the brow of A haaldom fierce anger played, At the Strand manufacturer's gasconade ; And idling a list that mote slaughter an ox, lie wrathfully challenged his fuentan to box ; Then suininoned each (Lennon to form a ring, And witness his truculent triumphing.— The ring was termed and the twain set to, Like little Plies with Bells a the Jew. Satan was seconded in a crack, By Molaneux, the American black, (Who sported an oath ass civil Salim), While Warren was backed by the ghost of Dutch Som..— Gentles, who fondly peruse these lays, Wild as a colt o'er the moorland that strays, itho thrill at each wondrous cede I tell, As fancy roams o'et the floor of hell, Nays list ye with kindness, the whiles I rehearse In shapely pugilistic verse, I.llbeit my fancy preferreth still The quiet of nature,) this desperate 111 ill.

Satan was floored by a latter in the hip, And the blood from his peepers went drip, drip, drip, Like fat from • goose in the dripping pan, Or ale from the brim of a flowing can ; His bac of dominoes chattered e loud, (Here, " Go it, Nick !" from an imp in the crowd,) And he dropped with a Lartrushire pat r an his hack, While Bob with a clincher feU over him, whack. 5.

FUNERAI, rf Ilse .211.4RQUIS of TITCHFIELII On Saturday morning the remains el this weh-lamented Na bleman were removed from at. Jarnes'a.aquare, and interred if. the family vault at 3lary . -la-bonne old Church. , As early as nine j'clock the mutes were placed at the door, while the minute tolls of St. James's bell announced that the period of removal approached. The carriages that were to join in the proces sion arrived at an early hour, and took up their station in Jermyn street. At ten o'clock, everything being in a motto( readiness, the body, contained in a most superb coffin, covered with crim son velvet and ornamented with silver nails, was placed in the hearse ; the procession then moved in the following order : II orsenian. Mutes. Horsemen two and two. Mutes. The Coronet and Cashion, borne by a Gentleman on horseback. The Hearse, drawn by six horses, emblazoned with the semi of the :liminess. Four mourning coaches, containing Mr. Canning, Lord SVm. and land Francis Hemlock , Lord Robert Seymour, Mr. Dundas, Mr. tireville and his two sons, Mr. Stuart Wortley, Mr. Howard, and domestics. The 31arquesik's carriage, drawn by four horses. The 1114rtioew , b private carnage, containing Lord Gosport. The Duke of Norfolk, in his carriage accompanied by two Gen ttemen. Mr. Henry Cavendish, in his carriage. Then followed a long string of Noblemen and Gentlemen's car naps; ; among which we observed those of the Ealls of Essex, Ba thurst, and Galloway ; the Marquess of Bath, Lad Staniford, Lords George C avendish , Kensington, Dr Venue an ti Seymour; the Bishop of Carlisle, the Speaker of the [Wm of Commons, Admiral Outherin, Messrs. Tennyson, W. Russell, Drummond, .?gar Ellis, Cavendish, W. Williams, IVallace, Stuart Wort ley, and a numerous list of other distinguished personages. In this manner the precession proceeded up Regent-street, and was met at the top, in Oxford-street, by the beadles of Mary-la bonne parish, in lull dress, with their staves covered with crape. On arriving at the church, the procession was Mt at the door by the churchwardens and the Rev. Mr. Chapman, the curate. The clergyman, in a most impressive manner, pronounced the service— " I ant the resurrection and the life ;" and on advancing up the aisle a solemn requiem was performed on the organ. The coffin having been placed in Cie aisle, and covered with the pall, escuteheors, &c. ; the CUstuMary service tor the dead was per formed, during which the distress of Mr. Canning and the other distinguished nr.urners was observable. The body was then placed in a state of preparation for its last removal into the vault. This cemetery, it will be observed, was originally built for t!'e Faucet family, but has lately been occupied by that of the Duke of Ford land. At the present time it contains about twenty coffins,prin eipally containing the Coates' and Geordies' predecessors. Thos of the natant family, which lie more remote from the others, wer. much dilapidated, having been upwards of two hundred yews be the same place . On one of the co ffi ns, containing a braneb of tint Faueett family, was the Marquis placed, exactly ever against hie grandfather the Duke of l'ortland.

The death of the Noble Marquis was occasioned by his having ventured out on horseback too soon after he had recovered from the elects of a typhus foyer. Ile caught cold, which terminated in a brain fever. Ile was twenty-seven years a age, and in person was tall and athletic. Ilia corpse mnsured six feet five inches ; and his outside coffin was seven feet and a quarter of an inch in length. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE. HUNTING APPOINTMENTS FOR THIS WEEK. FOX HOUNDS.

SPIIINO AND LAXGAN.—SitUDLIT evening being appointed for making a second deposit towards this interesting match, at Ran dall's, llole-in-tbe-Wall, in Chancery-lane, a numerous party of amateurs asoembled in the Nonpareil's best crib, and long before the time appointed, not a seat was to be obtained. Langan was first in the room; he was in high spirits, amusing the company with Irish anecdotes, told in genuine rich brogue, and the fancy were, so eager to obtain a sight and a hearing of the Irish Champion, that the chain and tables were mounted, in utter disregard of Jack Randah's furniture. The forms of politeness, and the forms of the landlord, were alike trodden tinder foot, and one of the latter came down with a loud crash, froGehog about a dozen Writes at once. Shortly before ten o'clock Spring appeared, and was loudly applauded. The stakes were then deposited—the men shook handr--drank each other's health, and Langan observed, " Let's have no disagreeable ../sdfug on the subject; we'll be friends to.' night, at any rat: !" Siaty pounds to forty were offered on Spring, but refused ; when Langan observed, he would take 70 to tn. " bet you," said Spring, " twice over, if you like !'' " Agreed !" m id the Irishman, and both the bets were made accordingly. Grvg and steamers then became the chief objects of attraction, till the night was far advanced.

I am, Sir, your obedient Servant. A STOCKHOLDER. 111 arch 11, 1821 .. " That the course pursued by the Committee of the General Association of the Silk Trade is entitled to the cordial approbation of this meeting." This resolution was carried unanimously. JAMES PATTISON, Esq. consilered, that while it was the bounden duty of those connected with the silk trade to watch carefully over any innovation that might be proposed, which would hare a tendency to shackle the manufacture, it was at the same time their duty to state the grievance with respect to his jesty's Government; he would therefore move the second reso lution. Resolved—" That it is the opinion of this meeting that the secu rity from foreign competition, which has been granted by the Legislature to the silk trade, and consequently continued by re-, patted enactments, and at length made perpetual in the year 1300, has essentially contributed to that state of prosperity at which it has now arrived, and has led to the investment of large capitals, upon the faith of Parliament." P. TATILOCIL, Esq., seconded this resolution, welch was Wiled unanimously. J. B.%LLAircE, Esq. called the attention of the meeting to eir cumstances connected with the silk trade. He said it was admitted that their competitors had machinery sad skill superior to our own. The trade bad_ yielded itself to the circumstances under which it was reared. He then went an to take a perspective view of what would in all probability take place, if the proposed mea sure of Oovernment was adopted and carried into effect. The consequence would be, that the occupier of 400 looms at present would be reduced to forty, and the dlkuts would be severely felt by thousands of persons in the medium situation of life. Hear, hear.) The number of weavers in the parish of Bpitalfidds, Si. Matthew, W Bethnal-green, Alile-end, and St. Leonard, Shoreditch, amounted to upwards of 80,000. hat effect, he would ask, would this measure have on the interests and the comforts of this vast popula tion? Where, he would inquire, was the probability of orders being received, in the month of July, 1828 ? It should be consi dered that the silk trade had an overwhelming competition; and without any further measures than those which existed, it would be years before it could emancipate itself from the fetters with which tt was shackled. He concluded by moving the following resolu- ' don, which was seconded by Kay, Esq. of Manchester : Resolved—" That the proposed repeal of the prohibitory laws, in regard to the introduction of Foreign wrought silks, at the fixed period of two years, from the fish July next, although combined with an immediate reduction of duty and a liberal compensation on existing stocks. is viewed by this meeting as threatening the eventual destruction of the silk trade of this country." On the resolution being put Mr. Trion rx rose to oppose it. He contended that the consumption of silk in this country was equal to that in France; and that we should bgenahled by the remission of this prohibition to equal thew la the manufacture of the snide. (Lout, cries of disapprithatian—the Chairman called to order). He asserted that England would have been better off if no such prohi tion had ever existed, on the back of which had ridden-in mono poly ; and if it never had, we sboal4l have been able to meet any foreign market. Ile therefore entreated the Meeting not to view the messwee wish she =Crewe despondency which souse persons had nianitested. Mr. Gams replied to the observations of the last speaker, when the resolution was put, and carried unanimously. THOMAS Giallo fir, Esq. then moved the following resolution : •• Resolved—That with all due deferalce to the sentiments of his Majesty's Government upon the question of free trade, this meeting cannot but lament the introduction of the proposed mea. sures into Parliament sad it is of opinion, that it would require a period of not less than live years to afford the silk-manufacturer the means of ascertaining how far he may hope, with any degree of success, to compete with the introduction of foreign-wrought silks." Mr. 0 Issow addressed the meeting in a very able speech, which was received throughout with considerable applause observed that owing to the little support they received, it was almost a hope less task to expect to carry their wishes into effect ; that being thecase, it was tit to look round and say, what alternative presented itself? He thought the resolution he held in his band the best calculated for that purpose, but this would be proved, when it was delivered by the worthy Chainrusu to the considesaum of the meeting. (Ilear.) With respect to the obstacles in the way, it was alleged by some, that our machinery was imperfect--but did it follow from that, that it might norbe improved. It might be effected in time by skill and perseverance—but it was nut the work of a single day. (Applause.) France certainly possessed a superior machine, but yet, did it fol low that we might not, in progress of time, arrive at the same de gree of perfection in that respect. Mr. 0. then proceeded to take a review of the foreigii markets—he contended that from the dis tance of those markets it was impossible that the necessary nego elation child take place in a day (hear)—nor could they be effected in two years and a quarter. (hear, hear.) This space of time had been cohcedeyi by the Chancellor of the Exchequer, but it was only a mere reprieve, and it would follow that their competition would take advantage of the interim. Ile implorsi the meeting to unite in soliciting his 3lajesty's Government tor a further length of time. If the proposed measure was adopted, the whole manufacturers of Great Britain would go about with a halter round their necks. If the proposed measure was adopted, the consequence would be, that the British capital would be taken to France and invested, not only in its trade, but also in its machinery. I Wm. K.sv, Esq. seconded the resolution, and observed, that j until France and Lagland could enter the market, and compete on tair terms, which he thought they could not do in less than fine years, he should oppose the contemplated plan. The resolution was then passed unanimously. JOSEPH littotrr, Esq. ,hen proposed the following resolution Resolved, " That it be referred back to the l'onimittee of the Ge neral Association of the Silk Trade to watch over the progress of the proposed measures, and to endeavour, by all practicable means, to further the objects of this meeting." J. PAT TISO N, Esq. seconded this resolution. lle could not re frain front expressing his cordial aatialiction with the measures which were adopted. He would briefly refer the meeting to a cir. cumstance connected with the trades—it was, that the East India Company had not been idle spectators with regard to the measures proposed. In his( Mr. Pattisoffa) opinion, the import of a larger quantity of raw silk would be attended with this effect, vin—that the quality would not be so narrowly watched and appreciated. It I was obvious that an alteration ought not to be prematurely made. As mechanics, the meeting mint know that • revolving wheel, which went round swiftly, would collect a large quantity of silk— but the wheel which was slow in motion, would collect a much smaller quantity, but it would select the best. (Loud applause.) Ile concluded by expressing hi. anticipation that the Chancellor of the Exchequer would listen to the prayer of the meeting. The resolution was then carried unanimously. A vote of thanks was then parsed to W. Hale, Esq. the Chair. man. And it was resolved to advertise the various resolutions in all the Loudon papers; and also in as tunny provincial papers as the Gommitteesiwukl decide upon. The meeting, wliodi “ppeared to be most unanimous, then dis solved. His Majesty's ship'the Gloucester, commanded by Sir Edward Owen, arrived at Spithead on Saturday morning from South America. CAMBRIDGE FEBTIVAL.--CAMIIRIDEE, MARC!! 10.-A Special Court of the Governor" of Addenbtooke's Hospital was held on Monday last, to receive the Report of the Committee appointed to consider the expediency of having a Musical Festival in aid of the funds of the institution. The Earl of Ilsrdwicke having taken the Chair, the master of Downing College read a letter from Madame Catalani, proposing to undertake a Musical Fe:tival on a grand scale, at her own risk, and to allow a very handsome per centage to the Hospital. The governors unanimously acceded to the proposition, and voted thanks to Madame Catalani for her liberal ofrer. The Committee was re-appointed to ar range the preliminaries, and them eting was adjourned to Monday, the 15th instant. MEETING OF THE RILE TRADE.
