MOSES 86 SON confidently reeimmenti their complete OUT FITS. The number Of yeirs E. MOSES and SON have attended to this department, and their perfect acquaintance with every article requisite for the passage out, and for every climate in the world, is a reason why they supply Oatfits better and cheaper than any other Establishment. Ei,ery Emigrant should therefore provide himself with an Outfit at E. MOSES and SON'S, every article being selected with the care and experience of the largest Outfitters in the Universe. On an Outfit rendered precious to the Emigrant by twofold claims —English make and daily use —a value is put far above the price unequalled paid for it at E. MOSES and SON'S, their charges being so ex tremelY low for the v aluable goods comp r ising their Outfits. The Emigrant, looking at these when in his hut or house in far distant lands, will wisely tilnk how fortuna te he had not neglected to take out his Outfit from E. MOSES and SON'S. What could he have don e w ith out it, and how trifling their charge to what he must have paid elsewhere? What, a variety of valuable services it had rendered him, by becoming a constant accession to his daily com frs, and how entirety impossible would it be in many places to ob tln any goods like those comprised in the Outfits from E. MOSES and SON. They supply them for 3/. lbs., 61. 155 .,011. lls., and up wards. A detailed list can be had on application, r forwarded, post free, to any part of the kingdom. E. MOSES AND SON.

Taylor and Bright's Circular states :—The past week has been one of almost perfect inactivity in every branch of the Corn Trade, and where sales have been effected it has been with an advantage to the buyer. The unexpected change in the Continental Markets, France excepted, amounting in some places to almost a panic, has had a prejudicial effect upon the minds of our buyers, who begin to fear that after all the famine cry, we may still have some foreign imports. The ac counts received this morning both from Hamburgh and Stet tin, show more firmness, with a large business doing, and in some instances an advance in price. At to-clay's market, al though we had only a moderate show of samples from the farmers, yet wheat must be called fully Is. lower, with little disposition on the part of millers to buy at the reduction. Foreign wheat wholly neglected. The import of barley comes upon an already depressed market, and the article must be quoted Is. per quarter lower to-day. Nothing passing in oats. Egyptian beans meet a consumptive demand, at about late rates. Linseed continues exceedingly scarce, and some of our crushers have closed their mills for want of supplies. A good sale for linseed cakes; foreign go off as quickly as they arrive. Nothing doing in rapeseed. Rape cakes exceedingly scarce, and ready sale at our quotations. Bones support our cur rency. _ The following are the present prices of grain : s. 8. 8. 8 Wheat, English, red 38 to 40 Peas, white and yel. 30 32 Do. white 4O 44 Do. grey 27 29 Dantzic and Ko- Linseed, Black Sea 44 46 nigsberg 42 46 Do.

At the conclusion of the arguments in this case, the LORD CFIAICCELLoR moved the judgment of the House; and hav ing gone through the facts of the case and the sections of the statute, expressed his opinion to be, that the Nth and 37th sections must be read ,notogether and described wi but o ne ne p r oceeding. As the company had t complied terms of the 36th section, it must take the consequences of not doing so, and pay the amount claimed in the petitioner's demand. Appea l ituAt and Lord CAMPBELL entirely concurred. dismissed, and judgment of the Court below af firmed, with costs. . --------- moNTom-h-On Monday night an adjourned was held in . THE STRAND U NIO N PAUPER CHll.Dmßele3tlgATofEtphe inhabitants of the p ar i s h of St. Cl eme nt Danes . the vestry-room o f t h at parish, for the purpose of resum in g the discussion on the report of the special committe e ap pointed brthe guardians of , the Strand union in reference to the pauper children at Edmonton, and to adopt such re solutions as should be deemed expedient relative, thereto ; the Rev. W. Ellis, the rector, in the chair. Some gentlemen having addressed the meeting, the chairman put the follow ing resolution :—" That this me e ti ng regrets to find that the report in reference to the Edmonton establishment contains a correct statement of the deplorable condition that the children and infants were in at that establishment at the date of the report; and the meeting tenders its best thanks to the gentlemen who brought the matter to the knowledge of the ratepayers of the Strand union." The resolution was put and carried by a large majority, there being —Ayes, 91 noes, 45. Mr. Dent then demanded a poll, which w as ap pointed to be taken on Friday next. The meeting adjourned at a little before eleven o'clock. PRESERVED MEATS FOR THE ARCTIC EXPEDITION. —A lengthened survey was held on Monday at the Victual. ling Yard, Deptford, on the preserved meats and vegetables served by Plogarth, of Aberdeen, for Sir E. Belcher's expe dition, when, to the gratification of every one, all the stores, on examination, proved to be most excellent, and were re ceiyed accordingly. The Great Metropolitan Stakes, to be run at half-past three—Elthiron, The Ban, Miss Ann, Backbiter, Officious, Calmar, Kick up the Dust, John of Berwick, Achyranthus, Candlewick, Letterpress, Perjury, Haresfoot, Sally War foot colt, Joe Miller, Follow me Lads, Stamford, Ethelwolf, Captain Flash, Kate, Stilton, and perhaps Snarry. This list, I believe, will undergo little or no alteration. The following are already struck out, or as good as being so : Landgrave, Raby, Mark Tapley, Cockcrow, emus, Hesse Romberg, Grand Duke, Grey. Tommy, Knook Knoll, Ma sham, Pelopidas, Young Troublesome, Curl, Bardolpb, Ur banity, Ratan filly, and Czarina,. • .. 43 f tr "The Selling Stakes, to be at half-past four—Grand 'Duchess, CosaChia, Clown, He ope,Czarina, Amoroso, and Sabra. ,..— ~..,...,„„i.„...„ . 1 ~ „...„, ‘, ~..,i ..t...- - 4 . _..,, - - - Tbe - sper*lliVe brought 'to ialose NE five o Clock with the Railway Plate, for which the starters are very dubious, but the following batch are those most likely to show : Hungerford, Heroine, Knight of the Thistle, the Incurable, Iracundus, Equiria, Chaplet, Tightwaist, Sprig of Shilelagb, Timid Fawn Water Lily, and Freestone. The Trial tasE.sie.,iag closed since my last communica tion, lam enabled to state that liungerford or buiprewn Will, in all prObability, be the winner; at any rate, the first three places ought to be filled by HUNGERFORD, HARP, and STAPLETON. With respect to the City and Suburban Handicap, it is necessary I should observe that Prime Minister is in first rate fettle, and looks extremely dangerous to stand rgainst ; the distance, however, may knock his chance over. Guy Mannering is likewise in fine form, and will run forward, Kilmeny is strongly fancied, as also is Mary Ann; Edward of York, however, will settle them both, if they can get him off satisfactorily. Sir Charles Napier is to be tried in this spin, in preference to Hungerford : his running for ward will not surprise me at all. Greengage, Flounce, and Butterfly are all in excellent condition. The race, I expect, will terminate in the victory of EDWARD OF YORK, GREEN GAGE, or Flounce; Butterfly and the favorite (Mary Ann) being well up. The struggle for the Two-years-old Stakes will be between the Sister to Iracundus,Pantomime, King David, and Estelle filly, ending as I remarked yesterday. The Great Metropolitan, in my opinion, will fall to the lot of Lord Waterford with Kicx ur THE Dusr, or Dawson with STILTON; Kate, Officious, Backbiter, and Elthiron being their nearest attendants. The Railway Plate, as well as I can make out this morning, will become the property of the owner of Heroine, Tightwaist, or Timid Fawn. The betting market is very brisk this morning on to-mor row's events, prices ruling as follows :—Great Metropolitan —4 to 1 agst Stilton, 8 to 1 each agst Backbiter, Kick-up the-Dust, and Kate, 10 to 1 each agst Miss Ann and Joe Miller, 15 to 1 agst Elthion 15 to 1 agat Achyranthes, 15 to 1 agst Captain Flash, 16 to 1 each agst John of Berwick and Sally Warfoot colt. Two Year Old Stakes-5 to 2 agat Sister to Iracumdus (taken), 5 to 1 agst any other. City and Suburban Handicap-4 to 1 agst Mary Ann, 6to 1 each agst Prime Minister, Kilmeny, Greengage, Surprise, and Butterfly, 8 to 1 agst Edward of York, 9 to 1 each agst Cy theria filly and Flounce, 10 to 1 agst Sir Charles Napier, 10 to 1 agst Thornhill. Aniihing of consequence that may come to hand in the course of the afternoon will bepublished in the Third Edition of The Sun this evening. I am, Sir, yours, &c., THE SPIRIT OF THE TURF.

Jackson resolutely started again, but from this time the race was virtually at an end.

It is reported that three commanders are to be appointed to each of the three principal home ports, to be borne on the books of the flag-ship, for the purposes of being ready for active service. Commander Marsh has already received his appointment to the Waterloo, 120, flag-ship, at Sheer ness. A board of officers have assembled at the Admiralty, con sisting of one of the lords, Mr. Grant, of the Victualling Board, and three paymasters and pursers, to take into con sideration the best manner of placing all the different ac counts now kept on board a man-of-war, so as to place them all under the direction of the paymaster and purser. Mr. Bell, paymaster of the Royal Yacht, is one of the board, Mr. J. Grant, paymaster, another, and Mr. Parmeter, paymaster, is the third. Pluto steamer (brig rigged), Lieut.- Commander West, ar rived at Spithead, and went into harbour yesterday morning, en route for the coast. She is a small, slow vessel, and ap peared very deep in the water. The starboard watch (about half the ship's company) of the Arethesa, 50, Captain Symonds, went on leave on Satur day. When these men return the port watch will have the same indulgence. Arrogant, 46, steam-frigate, Captain R. S. Robinson, was paid down at Portsmouth, on Monday morning, and half her crew will go on a fortnight's leave; and the other half when the former returns. Both these frigates will thus be stationary at Portsmouth for the next month. St. Vincent, 101, is slowly progressing in her rigging at Portsmouth. Winchester, 50, Captain Loch, C. 8., is rigging with all dispatch at Portsmouth. Britomart, 8, Commander Hesseltine, was commissioned at Devonport on Monday by Mr. Braddon, the master; her complement is to be 80 officers and men. Vulcan screw-steamer will have her defects made good at Devonport, should the Admiralty so direct. The invalids brought home in the Vulcan were landed on Monday after noon by the Confiance steam-tug. PORTSMOUTH, TUESDAY.—The Prince Regent, 90, Captain Harris, late pendant-ship of Commodore Martin, arrived at Spithead this morning from Queenstown, saluted the Com mander-in-Chief, and brought up. The Hogue, 60, Captain M'Dougall, arrived at Spithead this afternoon from Queenstown, and also saluted the Port- Ad miral. These ships have come to have their crews " paid down" and leave given the men. The Antelope, 3, steam•vessel, Lieutenant-Commander Young, left Spithead this afternoon for Gibraltar. The Sampson, 6, steam-frigate, Captain L. T. Jones, has been paid down to six months to - day , and her crew given leave for a fortnight. The Vesuvius, steam-sloop, has been taken into the steam basin to-day, to have her defects r.,.. ired. The Plantagenet, Captain. G. E. ) (one of Smith's India men), after embarking passengers and stock, sailed last night for Calcutta. ROYAL MARINES.—One hundred and twelve of the divi sional corps are ordered to replace the like number of the Artillery corps on board the large steamers at this port. Captain Lowder will embark on board the Arrogant, re lieving Captain Holloway. First-Lieutenant Usher embarks on board the Retribution, relieving Lieutenant Poore. Brevet-Major Evans and Captain Thompson Aslett are or dered on recruiting service—the former to Macclesfield and the latter to Beverley, Yorkshire, to relieve Captains Payne and Kennedy, who are required for embarkation. Instructions have been issued by the Board of Admiralty, directing that previously to sending any patients, whether officers or men, from her Ma j est y 's shi p s to sick quarters on shore (excepting to naval hospitals or to established surgeons or agents), a statement is in each case to be re quired from the medical officer of the ships, six ma ned and ap ptc hu r o el a rve patient a by y u r t e h co e aun c i d a d pnt effectoe t i nb be safely f r t c h o emmt disease ; raena d t ga and ll obf c o e a r tr , hd o e; f r e at and h s e o upwwa when h t e i why n there is no medical officer on board the same information is to be required from the professional person to whom the pa tient is sent. -The rates charged for the subsistence and me dical attendance of the patients are to be also stated; which rates are to be as reasonable as possible, consistently with ' providing proper accommodation. The above statement is to be transmitted in every such case to the Director-General of the Medical Department in the Navy. GREAT INFLUX OF SHIPPING INTO THE PORT OF great praise is LoNnox.—The wind having suddenly veered round from the N.N.E. (in which quarter it had been for some weeks, with heavy gales) to the S.E., very near 200 vessels that oarntsdmouth for the had been weather bound, beating about the Channel, and anchored in the Downs, have been able, since Saturday, t o come up the Thames, with valuable cargoes, from nearly every quarter of the globe, whilst from 200 to 300 have taken advantage of the favourable change to proceed to the north ward, westward, and other parts. The British Channel has seldom presented such a fleet of weather-bound merchant mennf o a r , v a t l h e authorities last three a weeks, p timely assistance they have rendered many of them, by sending off Government steamers with water and s , nor 3' of every description to those that needed them, whether -tes Bri tish or foreign. Yesterday the St. Katharine's, London, `Vest and East India Docks, presented a scene of great • • activity, an d a considerable number of what are called " d ' b° dock men," 0 ,,. bad been for some weeks out of employ, were engaged in "'"- c harging the cargoes, as also an extra number of caatom due as so it the nasal officers to keep account of thearticles either into the sent bonding warehouses, or cleated by the parties the Yea s e l3 "" i conaigtied to. SPIRIT of the PUBLIC JOURNALS. TIMES.—We have ever been ready to take the most fa vourable view of that singular position into which the ca prices of fortune, and the scarcely less unaccountable follies of party, have thrown Lord Derby and his followers. We have vindicated for them the greatest breadth of pledges and length of tether. We have maintained that, instead of con tinually probing and torturing the Conservative leaders as to the exact duration of the session, or the precise measures which Government would presume to introduce, it rather be came the Opposition, who claimed a majority in the Com mons, and who therefore held the power in their own hands, to do what they thought best, on their own responsibility, without endeavouring to draw the Minister into gratuitous engagements. Perhaps we inclined to this view of the Mi nisterial position, partly because, of all things in the world, we dreaded those painful allegations of broken faith which political engagements seldom fail to oc casion. It cannot be denied, however, that there has been a definite understanding between the Ministry and the threefold Opposition. There has been give and take. The Opposition has been voting supplies and passing estimates with as cheerful an acquiescence as if they were enjoying a triumph instead of bearing a defeat. They have done this in the belief—which we must maintain to be fully justified by the general tenour of the Ministerial explanations—that Lord Derby would not attempt to intro duce any measures that were not of immediate necessity. Only three measures have been instanced—the Militia Bill, Reform in Chancery, and the Bill for Disfranchising St. Albans, and filling up the four vacant seats in the Legisla ture. As to the first and third there could be no demur ; and perhaps when it is considered that many proceedings in Chancery have been suspended and many suitors put to the greatest inconvenience by the present state of uncertainty, it may be conceded that justice cries for reform as urgently as our altars and hearths for defence. Bat it was scarcely possible to suppose that these three measures, though spun out by idle controversy, eked out by private Bills, and interrupted by all kinds of crotclets, would_ occupy raffia tent the length of an ordinary session ; or would, in fact, do more than carry us a week or two beyond the Whitsuntide holydays. It might not be possible to name a week, or a month, for the dissolution; but a short session of " a humble and useful" character" was all that was ex pected, and that expectation has been, in fact, the under standing on which supplies for a twelvemonth have been freely granted, instead of their being restricted to six months. We must confess, then, to a most unpleasant mis giving on, finding in Lord Derby's reply to Lord Minto last night the °nib:ions words., " Nothing has- ever fallen from my lips which could lead any man to suppose that the pre sent would be a session of unusually short duration. I never said anything that could justify such a conclusion. I say, further, that the continuance of the session depends on causes over which I can have no control. Now, though it is just possible to conceive the three specified measures being made the pretence of debates so wordy and so unprofitable to last any number of months, still, at the common rate of talking, and with the example of Monday night's business-like debate in the Commons, we cannot fairly reckon on the session lasting beyond June at the furthest. If we are now to be told this is all an imagination, it certainly looks as if Lord Derby meditated an attempt to give the session a normal and or thodox appearance, instead of its being a mere interregnum of necessity and routine. Possibly his Lordship may have no such intention ; possibly he may simply mean, that inas much as he cannot tie men's tongues, and prescribe limits to hostile eloquence or controversial ingenuity, therefore he can not tell when the Whigs will allow him his much-desired appeal to the intelligence of the country. But, seeing all the present appearances, quite as much as all the previous announcements, encourage the expectation of a short routine session, we feel staggered at Lord Derby's present declara tion. It certainly looks as if his Lordship could not brook the tenure of "forbearance" by which he holds power. Like the child who wishes to " sit up" till ten o'clock from mere vanity, his Lordship would rather not be "sent to bed" two months before his brothers. On Monday, the 15th, Lord Derby said—" This is a question which ought not to be allowed to remain any longer inn abeyance than pos sible." Further on he said—" I repeat that the period of suspense ought to be as short as possible—that the appeal to be made to the country ought to be made as early as the great interests of the country will permit." On the Friday following his Lordship was, in some respects, even more explicit. After declining to name any precise time for a dissolution, inasmuch as circumstances might possibly arise that would render it inexpedient to dissolve in this or that month, his Lordship summed up his reply to the Duke of Newcastle with the emphatic words—" I repeat that I de sire only to conduct such business through the present ses sion as it is necessary for the good of the country should be passed. I will not specify what are the measures included in that category,except to say that I do include among them one of paramount necessity—the organization of the internal de fences of the country. After I shall have discharged the duty in cumbent upon me for the present session, I beg to repeat that I shall be as anxious as the Noble Duke can be that an early decision and judgment of the country should be taken, and that Parliament should upon that judgment, before the close of next autumn, pronounce its definitive and final decision." Without attempting to weigh particular expressions, we must say there is at least a difference of tone between the announcement of Friday, the 19th, and that of last night. The former presented Lord Derby as all anxiety for a settle ment; burning to close the present suspense, and to extin guish for ever this purgatory of mutual recriminations. He carried all sides along with him, and seemed himself to be carried along with the most impatient Freetrader in his dissatisfaction with the present uncertainty. Last night ;se were presented with the other side of the picture. Had his Lordship been five years, instead of barely five weeks, in his seat—had he a triumphant majority in the House and a blazing popularity out of it, and had he a full budget of good, safe, useful, and popular measures, he could not have talked more easily and jauntily about the prospects of the session, and his reluctance to cut short its bright and beneficent career. Lord Derby knows too well the various import of different tones to expect that the country should recognize the same man in the humble and deferential Minister of an interregnum, and the confident leader of a willing Legislature—that is, the man who last night acted that part. TO THE SECRETARY OF THE BRADFORD REFORM ASSOCIATION. (CONTINUED ON MONDAYS AND WEDNESDAYS.) Sir,—On Monday the 29th came on the debate on the Militia Bill. The Government made the extraordinary declaration, that they do not want the Militia to guard against the designs of any of the actual rulers on the continent, but they want it to guard against the " anar chy and confusion" which they expect "in a few months" will be the result of the deposition of some of those rulers. We are therefore asked to call out the Militia as a support to the present ruler of France, and in the way of a threat to those who it is apprehended may be disposed to put him down. This is out-heroding Herod, in the way of enthusiasm for the coup d'etat of the 2nd of December. What is clear is, that the Militia is to be called out as a prop to what at Paris is called " order;" that it is to be a check to anything like an attempt at the restoration of constitutional freedom on the continent, and consequently, in defiance of any quantity of words of the kind which in the language of Lord Duberly quoted in one of the late debates " butter no parsnips," is equally likely to be applied to the same purpose here. This declaration of the Government puts the question of the Militia in a new light. There is great difference between granting a Militia to an Administration known to be, albeit imperfectly, yet generally in favour of civil and religious liberty all over the world, and to one which avows that its fears are not from the mom) , on the other side the water, but from those who may be the enemies of that enemy. If the Government has changed sides, we must. In other words, we must stick to our own side, when the ground changes under us. Arithmeticians know, that the difference between a pound more and a pound less, is two pounds. What is the difference between having a Ministry which in the main desires to promote the interests of public freedom, and one which summons us to drill for the sake of keep ing in check the possible progress of those interests on the other side the water, not without view, it is pre sumable, to the effects on this? On Tuesday Resolutions evincing groat good sense and Idnowledge were brought forward by the Member for Orkney, on the subject of preparing the numerous steam-vessels in the commercial service, fer employment in case of emergency against an enemy. The Admi ralty agreed, to what it seemed impossible to object to. On the same evening Mr. Henry Berkeley brought forward his motion for the m Ball a o ge t. aleinc T stito h in e t objections 2w4ass. n oI ttl looks d k Taed by the Government were more than usually weak and irrelevant. On division the numbers (including a Member who declared he had voted by mistake) were for as r if t . h e Berkeley 'sprospect afa motion general l4s, unfa vourable to the votes for the Ballot. inot be amiss to say, that it was i n th e course of the may heevening reported in the House, an d was po i ntedly alluded to by the Member for the W es t Ridi ng i n his speech, that the Ministry are repudiating their under stood engagement to go to an early Dissolution. It required no great actioness to surmise that this would be their strategy. But there are always men who seem to have a morbid appetite for running into delusions.

TH O E ar E: pe T e l t i ati Cl o ! 8 1 1 iltiSrETegall; regard r r d th l e t ‘ o S U tr it tb a e y E in;Axgel. A Poem. By James Grton (" Alastor"), Autltor of " Excelsior." William L'ickering. of " Alastor" ha ve b een more spee dil y , nifetinonatl capacities e nitns com pletely,i realised than we predicted upon the compara tively recent occasion when we criticised his first lite rary production entitled " Excelsior." Although" The Enthusiast" is little else than the outline of a more comprehensive poem to be produced, if we may believe the assurance of the author in his preface, when it has germinated sufficiently in his imagination, it affords us adequate assurance that he is possessed of intellectual attributes originative of something nobler than mere skill in versification. What renders ns in a measure grateful to Mr. Orton at the very outset of his effusion is the circumstance that it is not only lofty and definite in purpose, but original, and, to a certain extent, also symmetrical in construction. We acknowledge to having long since become tired of metrical mysticism, meted out in a dramatic form, s o as to be mere imitations, or iterations, or re-duplications of " Faust." Every one has not the " faculty divine" as re splendently as the writer of " Festue," and the tempt 4. tion of treating the holiest themes with a sort of diabolic irony—an irony resulting from the fact of his Satanic Majesty wearing the buskins for the nonce as the evil-hero of the narrative—has not saved even the refined genius of Longfellow from giving utterance in his " Golden: Legend" tb "the ob scene and the blasphemous. Scarcely more endurable indeed have been these ambitious tributes to the master mind of Gathe than those morbid tales, replete with lachrymose passion and affected sentiment, which poured from the press of France, of England, and of Germany shortly after the tender-hearted suicide Wet ter first described the children eating slices of bread and butter round the white muslin and she pink ribbont of the incomparable Charlotte. Another and possibly more wearisome school of poetry, rendered in some measure popular of late years by the delicate and attrac tive charms of the muse of Mr. Tennyson, may be &nig : , nated not incorrectly the eccentric. The majority those, however, who have ventured to emulate the Laureate in a course that from its very singularity alto absolutely, that we may at length look forward to the fy ro o bab f i t l h ity e of Adventurers sgr g a e ma t t h ei e d r i d nir e et fi t i e r d e mulation, have failed so grievously and onp s q i ei ti e e di n n t tt oo ognise e ff o r l t he r e in mot excursive regions the peculiarity of tho se nove l and bewitching excellenees c which tended in spite o f it s b e i ng " a medley" to redeem ""The Princess" fro m d egenerat i ng i n t o n othing better yalni idyllic havek s e th e se h s than a literary extravagance. They have not perceived how much the pardon of the more fastidious critics was propitiated towards that very singular composition by the beauties with which it was somewhat plentifully adorned—the inimitable description of the Princess Ida, the graceful thoiagh fantastic delineation of the ladle college with its inmates, the impassioned energy of the pecan, the ravishing sweetness of the idyll, and the match less and pathetic simplicity of the verses beginning— "" Tears, idle tears, I know not what they mean, Tears they may be of some divine despair," &c. Instead of these we have had horrid celebrations of men afflicted with wens,—as in " Christmas Day and Easter Day," or as in " Casa Guidi Windows," page after page of political dulness and republican rhodomontade. Inasmuch as the author of the present volume has adventured upon, an enter prise entirely different in its character from either of those above particularised, he would be entitled to no indifferent commendation. But happily his poem is not simply devoid of blemishes such as those here repro bated, but is starred here and there with beauties of no inconsiderable splendour and originality. The purport of " The Enthusiast" he intimates in a very charming and muslhal prelude, thus:— " It is not a tale of common mould; It is not the song of an idle hour; It tells of a spirit in mortal fold, Who stood in his antenatal bower, Who saw, and heard, through his walls of clay, The sights and sounds of his primal day." Written for the most part in blank verse, the poem opens with a description of an oriental sunset, and the subse quent twilight gathering round the watchtower of the Enthusiast—a venerable seer who recounts to a traveller the beatified dream in which he was admitted into the arcane of the " universe of things," beholding the ce lestial spirits, being for a while .one amongst them (again) himself, and learning from the lips of an angelic being the revelation of some of the abstrussr mysteries of creation, when he has penetrated even into ono of the sublime vesti bules of heaven. The flight is consequently sufficiently during to daunt the boldest Icarus in modern literature. Yet " Alastor" betrays no weakness in his adventure. Soaring to such altitudes be never once drops into bathos, but in the course of his rhythmic* wanderings evidences abundantly those poetic powers of whichove are more than ever sanguine of beholding the more per fect development. Among the many forceful lines in the narrative, are these two burning verses— " I saw that demons once had hoof'd the world Which after rolled a human hell thro' space." Speaking of the loves of the Enthusiast and his bride, " Alastor" says very gracefully— Parted were;re . for many a weave day, And tom asunder oft, our hearts grew sick — Like clinging woodbine when its clasp is &A - tied." Throughout, he everywhere betrays a passion for the nobler features of Creation—speaking now of the sea shore as the spot " Where Nature grandly hymns Eternity;" and now of that maze of golden worlds in the night•sky which he designates exquisitely _ "The star-encrusted ceil of Space." . _ The Colosseum at Rome would seem to have about it some inspiring influence incapable of being exhausted by the superb stanzas of Lord Byron. We well remembered that noble passage in " The Roman," by Sydney Yendys. in which the young poet celebrated anew the glories of that gigantic and venerable edifice;, and here again ilia " The Enthusiast" we meet with the following beautiful midnight glimpse of Roman scenery:— " And many a night, when thro' some ruin huge, The moon shed down her soft and holy light, Like some fair maiden on her savage lord, Casting her smile,—till his dark soul grows bright, And grisly thoughts pat on an angel face, We sweetly lingered and sad pleasure found." Mere expressions of exceeding grace, scattered through the volume, lend their charm to its pages as supplemen tary decorations: as when it is asked— " Why slowly tell each separate bead of life, Which softly fell from Time's red rosary ?" Or, as when the supernal structure is delineated, it is said— "Pillars of gem-encrusted gold flew up, And buoyed the azure dome, with gold stars boseed." Or, yet more, where the variegated beams thrown by stained-glass are thus deliciously defined— " Thro' richest oriels coloured light fell in, And filled dim halls with floating gorgeousness." Perhaps the loveliest metaphor in the book is the sub-, joined— as when a gem of dew, Sky fallen, drops upon a tiower-tipp'd mound, And thro' the root, and stem, of some bright bloom, It onward thrills its darkened, upward course. 36, as a foot -note.
