HE EN'I.E WORKS OF , COWPE'R, with a LIFE of the POET, by the EDITOR, • By ROBERT SOUTHEY, Esq., LL.D., Poet Laureate. ... The Fifteenth Velume completes this genuine and richly il lustrated Edition of Cowper ; many of the Letters have never been before in print, and the entire Volume is extremely interesting. The following are the Contents : The LIFE of COWPER, by Dr. SOUTHEY—VoI. 1., 11., 111. The CORRESPONDENCE, including numerous Letters not before printed—Vol. IV., V., VI., VII. The POEMS, with many Originals—Vol. VIII., IX., X. The TRANSLATION of the ILIAD of HOMER—VoI. XI., XII. TRANSLATION of HOMER'S ODYSSEY—VoI. XIII., XIV. * The Translation adopted by the Editor is the First Edition, printed only in 4to. for the Subscribers, and now extremely scarce. The Quarterly Review, April M 7, notices the choice thus : " Well and wisely has Mr. Southey resolved on including in his edition of Cowper the version of Homer which that poet executed ' in the happiest period of his whole life :' and disearding the per plexed and enfeebled one over whisk be wearied his ingers in the hopeless gloom of kis later years." che remaining CORRESPONDENCE, CONTRIBUTIONS to the CONNOISSEUR, COMMENTARY on MILTON'S PARADISE LOST, &c.—Vol. XV. London : Baldwin and Cradoek, Paternoster-row. A notion has prevailed lately that a loan either had be or was about to be concluded in Paris for the service • t Don Carlos, but it appears to be merely the revival of scheme, attempted to be introduced here a'mut 18 moral ago, and called the " Spanish Assurance Loan," - f orme upon the novel principle of inviting subscribers, not by tl.• merits of the contract itself, which no ona could at thL time say anything for, but as holding forth a kind o guarantee, or assurance, against loss from the other Spa nish loans which were then in circulation. Thus it w; s made to appear, that the holder of Cortes' stock would• wisely to take a share in this, as he could only lose the first instalment of 6 per cent. The failure of the entsa. prise of Don Carlos would, as it was then contended, double the value of the Cortes' stock, and should it sue ceed, contrary to the expectation which prevailed at the , time, the holder of Cortes' stock would be compensated b‘ the rise in that of Don Carlos for the diminution in value it must necessarily undergo. Of the fallacy of this assurance we have, as it happens, a practical proof. Since the time when it was given, the Cortes' stock has fallen 20 per cent. or to about half the price it thee bore, and though nothing more than 6 per cent. is yet advanced upon the stock o' Don Carlos, we doubt if purchasers could now be found here to pay 3 per.cent, for the beneficial chances it is sup posed to hold out. The projectors unfortunately left me of their calculation the contingency that neither part might gain the ascendancy, and that Spain might be in volved in an interminable eiVil - War, which seems nosy to be the case. Notwithstanding the inherent defects of this contract, it is now about to make its appearance in Paris. for the advertisements in the journals there are exactly upon the basis above described, and .hence, most likely, th, origin of the supposed new loan for Don Carlos. The ar guments by which capitalists are invited to join in it are also precisely of the same kind. By the plan of a loan foi Don Carlos, as arranged by M. Ouvrard in 1836, the whole was divided into four series, but that contract has been altered or declared void, and by a decree or supposed decree of Don Carlos of April last, the present loan is re duced to one series of 21,300 bonds to bearer of 2001 each, entitling the holder to 233 francs 80 cents. of interest annually, being in fact a 5 per cent. stock. Upon this a deposit of 7 per cent., instead of 6, is in the first instance to be paid, and no other calls to be made until Do:. Carlos shall have arrived at Madrid. This advance of 7 per cent. is in the nature of a premium, as indeed it is deSignated, for the right to the quantity of stock indicated at the price of 301. money for each 1001. of bonds. The holders of these certificates are to be entitled to 5 per cent. dividends upon the whole 100/. from the Ist of July, 1836, the same as if all the instalments of the 301. contract price had been actually paid up at that date ; so that, sup posing the five remaining instalments should not be called for until after the Ist of January, 1838. the bond-holders will only have to pay 22k per cent. instead of 30. Various calculations similar to that before advertised here are then entered into, showing, that for an outlay of 7 per cent. speculators, if holders of Cortes' securities, are sure to gain 27 ; or, without reference to them, 47 per cent. in the case of the success 'of Don Carlos. Although Spanish loans succeeded to some extent in the' time of Ferdinand, who was an acknowledged Sovereign, in the Paris money market, yet they scarcely ever rose to a respectable price, and were always looked upon as a very questionable if not discreditable sort of security. The case is not likely to be improved in the present instance, for Don Carlos has no revenues to hypothecate. There can be no danger of the scheme taking here, whatever it may do in Paris. The mere circumstance of his declared refusal to recognise the Cortes loans will close the purses of all stock-jobbers against it. The new "contract," as it is called, is but the old one presented with a slight variation in the form of' it, and with a bonus of 1 per cent., if any sale for it can he found, in favour'of the original subscribers, who must have found themselves much encumbered with a security of this description. —Tin: MEETING IN FAVOUR OF THE BALLOT. SOUTH SHIELDS.—On Tuesday a public meeting., con vened by It. Shortridge, Esq., the resident Magistrate, in accordance v,ith a most respectable and numerously-signed requisition of magistrates. clorgyi-'shipociner4, and other electors was held in the Town-hall, South Shields. At twelve o'clock, the hour appointed, B. Abbs, Esq., of Cleadon House, the Senior Magistrate of the district, was called to the Chair. After the requisition had been read, and the Chairman havinc , requested a patient hearin g to any gentleman that might address it, Mr. R. GEDDES, in a very excellent address, in which he fully substantiated the allegations it co►,tained by ineon trovertHe facts, moved the first resolution, expressive o f the regret of the meeting at the acts of bribery and intimi dation that had occurre d during the la'e general elector. At this time it was foundthe spacious room of the Town-hall was incapable of holding all the persons desirous of being present, and an adjournment into the Market place being loudly called for, it was at length acceded to. On the Chairman taking his place on the steps in front of the Town-hull he was loudly cheered, and a representation having been made to the Tory party (who still remained in the Hall, and who had opposed the adjournment) that the remainder of the busiouss would be tran;acted in the Mar ket-place, they at length, though reluctantly, complied with the determination of the Chairman and the meeting. Mr. JOHN BEST having briefly seconded the first reso lution, it was agreed to. BUSSELL BOWLBY, Esq., then moved the second reso lution, which was in favour of adopting the vote by ballot at elections, in a straightforward, manly speech, by which he fully allowed its necessity to protect the honest and con scientious elector in the exercise of his franchise. Mr. T. B. OYSTON, in seconding the resolution, said, although it was his first appearance to take part in a public meeting, he gave the motion his cordial support, and ex pressed his firm and sincere belief that the Ballot was es sentially necessary. Mr. ROBERT ANDERSON, the gentleman who seconded the nomination of Mr. Liddell, the Tory Member for North Durham, moved an amendment, to the effect that it was improper and inexpedient to take the votes of elec tors for Members of Parliament by Ballot. Mr. J. W. ROXBY briefly seconded the amendment, The CHAIRSIAN having put the amendment to the meeting, there were eleven hands held up in its favour ; and on the original motion being put a forest of hands sup ported it, and it was declared to be carried amid enthusiastic cheers. Mr. JAMES MATifen, in moving a petition to the House of Commons in favour of the object of the meeting, went into a close and minute examination of the circumstances which called for the adoption of the ballot as connected with that borough and neighbourhood. The petition cox tained a clause to the effect that its necessity was shown by the fact of Mr. Ingham, the member for that borough, hav ing failed to perform his duty as an elector at the late con te,,t for Not th Durham, although be was within a few yards of the polling•place during the days of election. Mr. LACKLAND having seconded the adoption of the petition, R. INGHAM, Esq., M.P., stepped forward, and was re ceived with great disapprobation. He attempted to justify' the line of conduct he had pursued, by saying that an appli cation had been made to him for his support by Mr. Liddell (the Tory) three months previous to the election, and that the answer he gave to Mr. Liddell was, that if no stranger came forward on the Radical interest he would not vote at all ; if one did be would vote for Lambton and Liddell! And he further stated, that had vote by ballot been in ex istence he would have acted precisely as he had done. This explanation did not appear at all to satisfy the numerous meeting, but after repeated efforts to induce the meeting to strike out the clause in the petition which insinuated that. it was for want of the ballot that the Hon. Member had not polled, the meeting was induced by a feeling of deli cacy, though with the greatest reluctance (as the Hon. Member had expressly stated that it was not on that ac count he withheld his vote), to withdraw that part of the petition. JOHN T. Wawte, Esq., J.P., moved that the petition be presented by It Lambton, Esq., which, having been seconded by Mr. J. JACKSON, was agreed to. A call having been made for Mr. R. LoweaY, he briefly addressed the assembled multitude amid great applause. Thus ended, to the utter discomfiture of the Tories, the most important political meeting ever held in South Shields since the passing of the Reform Bill. A German Prince, whose name the French papers do not give, but who is described as short and thick, has just been frustrated by the Paris police in an attempt to carry away by force a pretty actress of the Vaudeville, of whom he has become desperately enamoured. Accounts have been received a t Vi enna , that the lit , amer ?a, l e had niemded in {Waking the passage on the Danube of the Iron Gate, a part of the river which for a thousand years has been deemed .unnavigable, from its rocks and falls, but which has been made to yield to modern art and science. Supporting its character by the superior quantity of the -port, and the delightful state of the weather, the grand day. for such is the Thursday at Egltam, went off to the satisfac non of the visitors, and those more immediately interested in the prosperity of the meeting. The betting and other stands were well filled ; nor had the booth-keepers any reason to complain of want of customers. There were a great number •)f elegant equipages on the course, and a good sprinkling, not ,f rain, but of fashion. Everything was done by the Stewards ( Lord F. Gordon, Lord Ashbrook, Lord Chesterfield, who officiated for the Duke of Beaufort, and Colonel Galwey. M. P.) to promote the comfort and amusement of the company as well on this as on the previous day, and that they partially failed Was owing to circumstances beyond their controul. The imneral arrangements of the meeting were entrusted to Mr. Hebbard, who left nothing to be desired. Amongst the com pany present were—The Etrl of Stradbroke, the Earl a Chesterfield, the Earl of Albemarle, Lord Waldegrave, Lord F. Gordon, Hon. L. Stanhope, Hon. Captain Rous, Lord G.

SIR-I send you a copy of a letter I have just addressed from the shield to G. 11. Wollaston, Esq., Clapham-common. From the station in which I was, viz., the upper floors, I could perceive no derangement whatever in the structure, or in the shield. I was accompanied by Mr. Page, the Acting Enginein., and Mr. Crawford, one of the Assistant Engineers. I may add that a lady went as far as the boat which carried us could be navigated, viz., within GO feet of the shield. There - are about 240 feet of the Tunnel quite free of water, and the arches are every where remarkably dry. I am, Sir, yours, very respectfully, M. J. BIZUNEL. I can assure you that the cheers of the miners on my en tering the shield, both those who were in the boat and those who were at the edge of the water near the entrance of the Tunnel, were most enlivening►. Thames Tunnel, Aug. 31, 1837, Nine o'Clock, p.m. "MY DEAR SIR-I. write from No. 4, in the upper cells —all is in excellent condition, less water than there was (and N 0.3, so formidable a few days before the irruption, quite easy), just enough to wash my hands—not one brick missing. Mr. Page is kneeling, as my rriting-desk—a lady has come very near the shield. With best r2gards, " Very truly yours, (Signed) " M. J. I3RUNEL. " Written without my spectacles. 1 - I,lf•past Nine, p.m., Aug. 31, 1837. " G. H. Wollaston, Esq., Clapham-common." THE FIRST OF SEPTEMBER. Yesterday it was our ill-fortune—for we are like Colonel Silithorp, we hate railways—to avail ourselves of " the train" to Box Moor. At the starting post, so to speak, in the terra incognita, near a place they call Euston-square, we were a good deal surprised at the sporting appearance of the passengers in waiting. There were as many guns as would have served a decent company of skirmishers, and as many dogs as would have stocked a liberal-sized kennel. We recollected that we were on the eve of the Ist of Sep tember, but we were not aware that " to shoot" from a steam-carriage on a railroad was a verb-active. Of the passive sense of the word under such circumstances there are too many cases on record to admit of one's doubting for a moment ; and " to shoot" from a loco-motive is now as common—and as dangetout = as " to shoot" the bridge used to be, before Rennie substituted his structure for the trans-aquatic road clumsily contrived by some King, who, centuries ago, was only a matter of history. But that shooting was intended yesterday there can be no relsonni)le room to doubt. Young gentlemen—we like to be courteous—in bran-new fustian jackets, with shining yellow buttons, and leather gaiters unconscious of a wetting—took every care that their object should not be misunderstood. The guns were not in cases, as all the world's guns are now-a days. They had nothing but list covers, which were hung listless On one of the owner's arms, while the other held aloft the deadly weapon. Then the dogs, a more miscella neous collection never turned out at a rat or- a duck, hunt. Real bulls, with genuine tobacco-pipe tails, bull-terriers, spaniels, poodles, and even pugs, were to be found in the pack. Country gentlemen, who had tried steam-carriages for the first time, as a mode of judging the merits of the future steam-plough, stared with astonishment at the sin gu!ar combination of canine and human puppies, and in wardly resolved, in the most mannerly way possible, that their manors were in no risk from this new invasion of the Goths. A few Irishwomen—jewels from the " first jim of the say "—on their road from shifting in St. Giles to shear ing in Hertfordshire, " wonthered why the dhogs (lid not think of the 29th," and emancipate themselves from the dc mination of their masters. In short, every body was surprised : and thisat the com mencement of the trip. The surprise, however, became confirmed as the train advanced. In the darkness of the tunnel under Piimrose Hill the dogs simultaneously bayed in the most lunatic manner possible, though no moon was to be seen. The late hot weather gave rise to_suspicions that made the passengers look with especial anxiety to their shins ; arid the uneasiness was not dissipated till "the train" stopped for a supply of water. The instantaneous effect produced on the dogs by the rattling of the element through the hose into the boilers was most remarkable. The unhappy " hanimals," as their owners called them, were so eager for a share of the liquid, that many of them singed their claws against the heated iron, in their eager ness to qualify themselves as Temperance Society beasts. But the empressement of the quadrupeds was outdone by that of their biped proprietors, as a flight of small birds on one side of the road elicited the exclamation of " A covey, by Jove 1" while half-a - doze n crows on the other w e r e greeted by the enthusiastic remark, " There's black game in these parts!" After such preparations, who can predict what will be the slaughter of this day ? That something will ho shot we have no doubt ; hut whether iron rails may be ironically mistaken for land-rails, or Cockneys killed instead of cock sparrows, it is impo,sible to say. Two things, however, arc certain ; some mischief will be dorm, and soructhirg mischievous destroyed. —Morning Post. Mr. Bunn has concluded an engagement with Mr. Kean, to appear at Druq-lanq the ensning season. Mr. Renstown 11 - are Mr. Crawford every•eredit for the honesty of his 'intentions. He was unquestionably a hi4ll - and honourable man, and although he (Mr. Red mond) agreed with him in his political views, yet he could :oat f, rget that they were now making a grand ex/ nt, which they were bound to adhere to with pru I nee and good faith, until the result should be known. He should confess tat he was not very sanguine as to the res'..t. They Lad not obtained justice for seven hundred )(.es past, nor did he believe they would for seven hundred years to come—(Cries of dissent)—but, nevertheless, it wa3 fair to try if such a thing were practicable. - Mr. ROCHE would not say one word, were it nr,t for the observa'ions which fell from the two gentlenieweho spoke last. No doubt the letter alluded to was one open to pub lic discussion, but he could not help I.cFretting that any feelings should be manifested at that tatveting but those of respect for Mr. Sharman Crawford's great talents and high integrity. Let it not for a morn , : nt be understood that he (Mr. Roche) subscribed to, the..treliey which dictated the publication of that letter;. but he did not think it could do any injury to the great cause, of Reform. Mr. J. J. MURPHY eipressed his entire concurrence in what had fallen from his friend, Mr. Mansfield, relative to Mr. Crawford's letter. They were at present making a great political experiment —en experiment which he could not agree With his friend, Mr. Redmond, would fail. Mr. FRENCH said that, as a member of the General As sociation, he could not but express his dissent from the ob servations put forward in the letter which recently ap peared from the hands of Mr. Sharman Crawford. — (Hear, hear.) It was, in his opinion, one of the most mischieVous productions which ever appeared before the public. If every soldier belonging to the army were to issume the rank and functions of a general, in what a state of disorganization Would it not be thrown into ? (Hear, hear.) Could they for a moment face an enemy or obtain any of those victories, to accomplish which they had been organized?—(Cheers.) . If Sharman Crawford should go against the party with which he connected him self, he will find himself very much mistaken as . to the final result. Was it not a monstrous thing for one man to ransack the proceedings of another's whole life, and quote from letters garbled extracts, in order to make out charges ?—(Cheers.) And must not the person so acting be a most mischievous man ? There could be no doubt I,,hat a proceeding such as Mr. Crawford's has been, searching into the private and public history of another, will promote in calculable mischief.—(Cheers.) Sharman Crawford may he an intelligent man, but, like th e f ar th er w h ose cow was praised for being an exceedingly fine animal, and for giving good milk, and who replied, " aye, indeed, but then as soon as she gives the milk she spills it"—(Loud laughter)—he a'so spoils the advantages which his talents might confer, by the course he has ma r k e d ou t f or himself. Mr. BRowsE—lf I'm not much mistaken, I heard him in this - room he should wish to see Sergeant Jackson on he bench. Mr. ROCHE did not think the letter was calculated to do mischief'; and he would also observe that he, for one--and he %vas sure Mr. O'Connell agreed with him—could not approve of the servile obedience which members of this As sociation paid a distinguished and talented individual. Mr. MURPHY rose to order. Mr. ROCHE—WeII, then, I retract the expression. Several other gentlemen expressed their disapprobation of the words used, after which Mr. Roche proceeded to make a few other observations. The sum of W. 9s. 10d. was announced to be the amount of justice ma -for the week. Mr. MANSFIELD was then called to the chair, and the meeting adjourned. LAW APSZINTMENTS.—The Mail says—" Lord Plun ket has actually dared public opinion, and appointed his youngest son a Judge of the land. Men may form some estimate of the sensation which this appointment has pro duced, from the way in which it is spoken of by t.ie Fr. e mrin's Journal and Ildot." The Fieenzan states that Mr. E. Berwick has been ap pointed Secretary of Bankrupts, and Mr. Sausse, Crown Prosecutor on the Leinster Circuit. The former office is worth 6001. per annum. The emoluments of the latter de pend altogether on the quantity of business actually per formed. We believe the duties of both situations were for merly performed by the Hon. Patrick Plunket, recently ap pointed Second Judge of the Court, of Bankrupts. DUBLIN PETITION FUND.—Ia the Freeman's Journal it is distinctly stated that the money for prosecuting th petition against Messrs. O'Connell's and Button's return is to be lodged to the credit of the Right Hon. Frederick Shaw, and the Right lion. William Saurin, who are trustees to the fund. The former-Right lion. Gentleman is a Judge and Privy Councillor, and the other party also is a Privy Councillor.

CIIIAL REGISTRATION COMMITTEE, A. B. KEENE, CHAIR MAN. I take leave respectfully to inform you, that Messrs.

PETITION.—The organ of the Orange party, referring to certain published resolutions re specting the prosecution of this petition, says—after the usual Tory talk about the foul, unconstitutional, illegal, &v. &e., influence practised by the Government and its agents :—" It will afford our readers satisfaction to learn, that there is certainty of success," (From the Dablin Gazette of Tuesday, Aug. 29.) " AUGUST 25.—0 n the morning of the 4th instant, Hugh Masterson, steward to Bolton Waller, Esq., was at tacked on tire lands of Shannongrove, parish of Ardcanny, in the county of Limerick, by three men, two of whom were armed with guns, who fired a shot at him, violently assaultud him, and required him to leave Mr. Bolton Walter's service.
