Lord JOHN RUSSELL will this Evening bring forward the Corporation Reform Bill—a measure se cond only in its consequences to the great Char ter of British Freedom, for in all its practical re cults it will prove more beneficial by extending the tasis of individual liberty—the surest guarantee cf national independence. We have heard that the Right of Suffrage will be extended to Scot and Lot voters, with many other particulars which Ave do not wish to mention prematurely, as a full und correct report of Lord Jo ITN RUSSELL'S speech, v:ith all the details, will appear in The Sun this .Evening. With perhaps two or three exceptions, the .I . .finisterial plan will be such as will spread joy and terror throughout the various Corporations. Government have sent down Sir FREDERICK ROE t: Wolverhampton, with powers to investigate tho -I:inghly into the causes of the late disturbances in that town, and their unfortunat2 results. The public r.'s.n.y therefore depend upon strict and impartial justice I).2ing done to all the parties concerned. The General Assembly of the Church of Scotland eosed its annual sittings on Monday last. From an tl-usual press of other matter, we have been prevented loin giving a Report of the proceedings as they oc t:t.r..'d. Our readers will not, however, have cause to r. rct this, as we have this day given such an abstract these proceedings as will, we think, enable them, by I,::ving the whole business of the Assembly presented to their view in a connected series, to form a more cor 'ct judgment than they could have done by a daily necessmily much abridged. The subjects brought under the discussion of the •iierable Assembly, are, some of them, of the very Itighest importance to the interests of an Established ( !lurch. The Act which gives the majority of the ri-Ishioners an unconditional veto on the appointment ut . the pastor, seems to us to strike at the very r,ot of the establishment, followed up, as judging f.oln the feeling of the Assembly, we have no doubt it will be, by the abolition of patron. ti.;e. The admission of the ministers of Chapels of Lase to an equality of jurisdiction in Church courts v•ith the ministers of pirishes is another measure of similar tendency. It is in fact an acknowledgment co' the voluntary principle, for those ministers are s:ipported by the voluntary contributions of their con vegations. The mode too in which this latter Act has 1 , un passed, seems to us directly in the teeth of that law ut" the Church of Scotland, which requires the sanction of a majority of the Presbyteries to an overture or pro psition, before it can be enrolled among the Acts of Lssembly. But we suppose the high-flying party einsidered that they would gain a great accession of strength by the introduction of the Chapel Ministers into the Assembly, and this consideration quieted every scrupl e o f consc i ence as to t h e i mpropr i ety o: violating the laws of the Church. The maxim tl:at the " end sanctifies the means," was, we have L2std, a principle of action peculiar to the disciples e LOYOLA, but we fear it is a heresy not confined to tl!ein. What shall we say of a Minister of the Church of Scotland—of that Church which plumes itself on foe efficacy of its well-fenced creed in producing a pure r ..oralitv out of a pure faith—what shall we say when we ace a Minister of this Church in the General Assembly of its Pastors, setting at defiance the principles of moral iectitudc, and practising an infamous fraud on his bre thren, by answering to the name of an absent Member in order to gain a vote to his own party ? The fraud luckily was discovered, and the vote rescinded, but we trust the man who has so degraded himself will not be allowed to degrade the Church of Scotland. `We are sorry we cannot congratulate the Kirk on its increasing liberality. On ti►e contrary, we perceive unequivocal synmpto►ns of increasing bigotry. A rising spirit of fanaticism seems to pervade the minds of the majority of the Ministers, which we greatly lament. This also seems to be the opinion of some of those who have hitherto taken the lead in the party which is now triumphant in the Church, and who, because they will not go all lengths, are becom ing objects of suspicion to their followers. The rejection, by the Assembly, of the invitation from the Pastors of the Church of Geneva, to send a deputation to assist in commemorating the third centenary of the Reformation, does not speak much in favour of the Church of Scotland. The Church of Geneva is accused by Dr. MACFARLANE of having lapsed into sundry errors and heresies—of having recommended to its ministers, in preaching on certain doctrines acknowledged to be mysteries, to ad here to the language of Scripture, and of having for saken the doctrines of the Reformation. The recom mendation of the Company of Pastors is in our opinion a most judicious one, and happy had it been for the cause of religion and the peace of the Christian world, had it been more generally followed. As to the charge of departing from the doctrines of the Reformation, the Reverend Doctor is not correct in calling the dogmas to which he alludes the doctrines of the Reformation. The grand doctrine of the . Reformation was the right of private judgment, and to that the Church of Geneva has adhered, while all the other Established Churches have forsaken it. We have just received the first volume of Mr. COCKB URN'S Report of the England and Wales Cor poration Commission. It is one of the completest works of the kind we have ever met with ; and will be of the greatest advantage to those who really wish to understand the merits of Lord JOHN RUSSELL'S Bill for the Reform of our Corporate Institutions. The supporters of the Noble Lord in the House of Commons ought not to lose a moment in arming themselves with it. We shall, if possible, notice it more at length to-morrow. The whole of the Paris Papers of Wednesday have been received, together with advices from Bayonne and Madrid. On Tuesday the Chamber of Peers sat as a Secret Committee, to decide upon the guilt or innocence of the Advocates whose names were affixed to the letter of the 11th of May. The secret sitting of the Peers occupied seven hours. At seven o'clock in the evening their Lordships entered the Court, and gave orders that as many of the accused as had not been discharged on Sa turday should be introduced. Of the twenty-five names on the list twelve were instantly acquitted, and thirteen found guilty of attacking the liberties of the Chamber. The names of the parties found guilty are—MM. BICIIAT and JAUFFRENAu, responsible editors of the Tribune and Rcformateur Journals ; M. M. MICHEL and TRELAT, the real authors of the letter itself ; and MM. RAYNAUD, GERVAIS, JULES BERNARD, DAVID DE THAIS, and AUDRY DE PUYRAVEAU, a Member of the Chamber of Deputies. The Court declined to pronounce sentence upon those found guilty until Wednesday, when it would be prepared to hear any defence which they might be disposed to offer. We shall take an early opportunity of making some observations on this sentence of the Chamber of Peers. To-day our columns arc so occupied with pressing matter that we can only find space sufficient to give the fact. The Chamber of Deputies sat on Monday and Tuesday, when several items of the Budget were passed. Ministers encountered but little opposition, as the Deputies are all desirous •f putting a period to the Session. The accounts from Spain are highly favourable. VALDEZ is fast repairing the losses which he lately sustained, and re-inforcements are marching to join him from every quarter. It is reported that the QUEEN-REGENT will dissolve the present Session of the Cortes on the 27th of May. FRENCH FUNDS —Peals. JUND 3. Five per Cents., 107 f. 50c. 35c. Four per Cents., 98f. Vc.

BOURSE, THERE o'Cnoex.—The prices of the Three per Cent. Rentes have improved since the morning at Tortoni's. They were at 79f. 65c. buyers, at the opening of the Bourse, and rose to 79f. 75c. ; but they rapidly fell, in consequence) of sales by two eminent brokers, to 79f 20c., sellers, which is the present price. Spanish Stock has been very flat from the commencement of business. The fall of the Rentes is attri buted to some bad news from Spain—Gallicia, where it is re ported a Carlist movement has taken place. P. S.—Two more defaulters have been declared, but not to a large amount. The loss is entirely for the sworn brokers.

The former state that 130 vessels arrived at Antwerp, and 122 sailed from it in the course of the last month, of which 24 were Belgian. From this it appears that Belgium is fast extending her commercial relations. The only matters treated of in the German papers are Spanish intervention, and the German Commercial Union.

LITIJOTRIPTIC HOSPITAL, HOLLES-STREET, CA veNntsn-sQuake.—The Committee of the institution for curing patients of the stone, without incision, feel it a duty which they owe to the public as well as to Baron Heurteloup, to state that since the institution has been established, ht has operated most successfully in a variety of cases, two of which have been witnessed by members of the committee, who were highly gratified to perceive that the patients experienced little or no pain. Beckford's New Work, entitled " An Excur sion to the Monasteries of Alcobaca and Batalha," announced for immediate publication by Mr. Bentley, will be embel lished by a portrait of this distinguished writer, from an original painting by Sir Joshua Reynolds, which has never yet been permitted to lie copied.

The petition presented on Monday last, by Mr. Potter, from the inhabitants of Wigan, in favour of Reform of Municipal Corporation, and of the proposed measure for the settlement of the Irish Church, was signed by 4,200, and not by 400 only, as we had erroneously stated. LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, JUNE 3.—The import this week has been very trifling, notwithstanding which prices have given way, and the market is remarkably dull. A decline of id. per lb. has taken place during the present week. The sales to-day amounted to 1,000 bags, of which 200 were taken for exportation, and 200 on speculation. • • • 5 1 " Dia.-4 7 ,401111111 , • / . 7.3 )'nll+ PARLIAMENTARY SUMMARY.

THE FUNDS. In consequence of the favourable result of the meeting of the claimants yesterday afternoon, to settle the account and differences of a Member of the Stock Exchange, which we unf derstand was effected to the satisfaction of his claimants, and which will be the means of taking out of the Foreign Market upwards of 200,000/. Spanish and other Foreign Securities, caused late in the afternoon a favourable impression on the market ; as well as the purchase of 100,0001. Portuguese Stock, which gave a tone to business, and restored some con. fidence to speculators. The following are the prices of the Foreign Securities this morning :—Spanish Bonds 46k 7i; Scrip. 7i 6k ; Portu guese 87 88 ; Colombian 34 35 ; Mexican 34 35.

His inquiry was to commence this morning. It is a curious fact that the late Government is the only one known in the history of England which has never ap peared in the Almanac—havin g taken office in November, after last year's Almanacs were printed, and having been turned out before the Almanacs for the next year were in type. LOVE AND SUICIDE.—About eleven o'clock on Wednesday night a young man, about 24 years of age, the son of Mr. Smith, plumber, in Oxford market, put a period to his existence by blowing out his brains with a pistol. It appears the unfortunate young man had lately become much attached to a female about his own age, but despairing of possessing her, ho in a paroxysm of insanity committed the desperate act. THE LATE ACCIDENT TO THE HOPE COACH.— The two unfortunate gentlemen, who suffered so dreadfully by this disastrous occurrence, are still lying at the Crown Inn, Dunstable, in very critical circumstances. One of them, a Mr. Bullock, of Sheffield, who was much bruised about the hip, is gradually recovering, though he has been confined to his bed since the accident, and will be, in all probability, for some time to come. The other, a Mr. Barker, of the same place, has hitherto remained insensible—indeed, so acute have been his sufferings, that it was thought impossible be could survive yesterday night; but the symptoms this morning were rather more favourable, though his life is still in a very preca rious state. We understand that the authorities of the county in which the accident occurred, intend making a rigid inquiry theinto oaciclutrhreenecireeoufmssitmanilcaersdoisfatshteers in case, with a view t o prevent future. Vegetation has assumed a very lively and luxuriant appearance since the late soaking rains, and the corn fields and grass lands promise abundant crops.—Jersey Argus, HOUSE OF LORDS.-(THISDAY.) The Earl of Shaftesbury, Lord •Lyndhurst, and Lord Brougham, sat in the House of Lords to-day to hear the great appeal of Small v. Attwood. Mr. Sergeant Wilde proceeded in his arguments on behalf of the appellant, and had not con cluded when we left. The Learned Sergeant has already occupied two days in his address. ROLLS COURT.-(THIS DAY.) The Master of the Rolls took several causes to-day, none 6 which were of public interest. VICE-CHANCERY.-(THIS DAY.) LEWIS V. LANGDON. Sir Wm. HORNE this morning applied to his Honour in this case, the short facts of which we gave a few days ago, entreat ing him to pen the order he intended to make as speedily as possible, as the parties on the other side had,.since the case was heard, issued circulars which were highly injurious to his client, inasmuch as they stated they were the only manufac turers of " Brookman and Langdon's Pencils," and that all purchasers of the articles manufactured by his client purchased them at the risk of infringing the injunction, and would be answerable for the consequences. His HONOUR said that he would give the subject his attention. LITERATURE. THE LIFE OF EDMUND KEAN. In 2 Vols. London : Edwaid Moron, 1835. Mr. Proctor, better known as Barry Cornwall, is the author of this piece of biography. It is worthy of his genius ; and what is still more creditable to him, it exhibits throughout kindly feelings and a charitable in terpretation of doubtful motives. Although we con sider his estimate of Kean's powers, as an original actor, as much too low, yet his character of the man is at once correct, delicate, and impartial. The author, at the outset, eschews the invidious task of feigning to weep over the faults of his hero. "In regard to Kean's private character," says his gentle biographer, in the introduction, " we have left it to speak for it self. We are not censors of his morals. * Above all, we will not weary ourselves (nor our readers) with any fruitless lamentations, as to what our tragedian might have been, had certain purer par ticles entered into his composition. His qualities, good and bad as they were, formed the man. From them sprang his genius, his vigour, his character. It was probably the collision between the two, that struck out those brilliant sparks which the world has so long been accustomed to admire. Had he wanted some quality which we deplore, he might have had another less favourable to his genius." This is as true in fact, as it is forcible ; and few, after reading it atten tively, will question the poet's qualifications to be come the biographer of the most justly celebrated tra gedian of modern times. The work is interesting rather as a record of extra ordinary personal adventures, than as a chronicle of green-room anecdote, critical observation, or play going gossip. The author never labours to prove his hero a great man, from the notice taken of him by this or that celebrated personage ; nor a great genius, by a learned dissertation on the affinity between certain mo tions of the body, and emotions of the mind. He is content to paint him as he appeared—to describe him by the impression he made on the public. Of the actor, as a private individual, after his first success ful appearance on the London boards, he relates but little ; and yet we may have no cause to regret our ignorance of what remains untold. The private lives of actors furnish few incidents worthy of record, and these are too often of a character by no means calculated to raise them in the estimation of moral disciplinarians. Barry Cornwall has wilfully kept back nothing which could in any way whatever tend to make us better acquainted with the real character and disposition of Kean ; but the actor himself was too fond of affecting mystery, to leave it in the power of any person to follow him step by step in his progress through life. The work, however, is highly interest ing. With the single exception of Cibber's " Apo logy," it is one of the most entertaining pieces of histrionic biography we remember to have read. " Galt's Lives of the Players" is a dull performance ; and the several lives of Mrs. Siddons that have ap peared, are wanting in incident. Barry Cornwall is sparing of his criticism ; but those which he gives are stamped with the impress of a sound discriminating judgment. The early part of Kean's history thus commences : " We cannot, as we have said, speak with certainty either as to his parentage or birth ; but, according to the best con clusions we are able to form, from the conflicting evidence be fore us, Edmund Kean was the son of one Edmund Kean, by Anne Carey, and was born in the year 1787. Edmund Kean, the supposed father, was in the employ of a Mr. Wilmot, the builder, of the Royalty Theatre, and whilst occupied there, became intimate with Miss Carey, at that time an actress. He was, moreover, brother to Moses Kean, a man possessing con siderable fame as a general mimic, and who imitated Garrick inimitably. Miss Carey herself was the daughter of George Savile Carey, a person who (after acting, without much effect, at Covent Garden, for a single season,) lectured on heads, mimicry, &c., and drew upon that indefinite patrimony, his wits,' for both reputation and support. He died in 1807. Her grandfather, Henry Carey, was the author of Chronon hotonthologos, The Dragon of Wantley, and various operas and interludes, now with the moths. He is also answerable for a quantity of indifferent ballads (published under the title of The Musical Century), in which he was both writer and composer. This last named gentleman terminated his career unhappily. He perished in his house in Cold Bath Fields, in the year 1743, having strangled himself with a cord whilst in a state of despondency. At the time of young Edmund Kean's birth, his grandfather, George Savile Carey, resided in some chambers in Gray's Inn, belonging to a Mr. Turner, who being greatly in debt, and compelled to return the answer of non est inuentus to all obliging inquiries, had lent his Chambers to Carey. And thus ends our knowledge of the ancestors of Edmund Kean." Kean's misfortunes commenced with his birth. His mother kept him for two years, and then, after pro testing that she would be no longer troubled with him, committed him to the care of Miss Tidswell. After this lady got tired of him he was transferred to his father, who put him to nurse to a poor woman, through whose neglect every joint in his body became distorted. To cure the distortions the poor little fellow was under the necessity of wearing irons, which he did constantly until he was seven years of age. He was sent to school, and some attempts were made to " whip th e elements of knowledge into him but he would learn nothing. When about seven years of age he began to act children's parts at Drury-Lane, after which his mother again took him under her protection, in order that he might assist her in hawking perfumery, and also to pocket whatever sums he might obtain by his acting. It was while wandering about with his mother that he obtained the notice of Mrs. Clarke, to whose kindness he was indebted for what little learning lie was master of. The particulars of his introduction to this lady are thus detailed : ' A thundering rap is heard at the door. The footman, with an approximation to a grin on his face, enters and an nounces--' Master Carey, ma'am." Master Carey ?' was the inquiry. ' Yes, ma'am; he comes from his mother, Miss Carey, who brings the perfumery here to sell. He says he is Master Carey.' Show him up by al! means.' Mrs. Clarke stood. The door was thrown open, and a slim pale boy, of about ten years old, enters—very poorly clad, ragged, NI; ith dirty hands, face washed, delicate skin, brilliant eyes, superb head of curled and matted hair, and a piece of a hat in his hand ! With the bow and air of a Prince, he delivers his message— ' My mother, madam, sends her duty, and begs you will be so good as to lend her a shilling to take the spangled tiffany pet ticoat out of pawn, as she wants it to appear in at Richmond to-morrow.' In answer to this petition, the lady put forth an interrogation ; Arc you the little boy who can act so well ?' A bow of assent, and a kindling cheek were the sole reply. What can you act ?' The answer was—' Richard the Third, Speed the Plough, Hamlet, and Harlequin.' I should like very much to see you,' said the lady. I should be proud to act to you,' was the return. Well, here's the money for your mother,' said Mrs. Clarke ; but stay,' added she, throwing open the door of the back drawing-room, where her husband sate writing. He was a grave stout man, who had lat off going to plays. She brought forward our hero—' This is little Ed mund Carey.' A low bow from Master Edmund Carey finished the introduction. Mr. Clarke looked at him, and was struck with his air, as well as with his delicate and expressive features, and which, contrasted with the poverty of his clothes, must have touched and interested even the commonest ob server. We do not know what commendation or good advice was bestowed by Mr. Clarke ; but Mrs. Clarke and her young friend parted, with a promise, on his part, that he would come again at six o'clock that evening, and give a specimen of his acting." Kean's performance delighted Mrs. Clarke and her friends. She accordingly invited him to her house, and provided him with the means of acquiring the ru diments of a genteel education. He learned dancing, fencing, horsemanship, and gave some attention to the study of English literature. An affront offered to him by a gentleman who casually visited Mrs. Clarke, was the cause of his elopement from the house of his kind protectress, which so incensed her husband, that Kean was shortly afterwards quietly discarded. He rejoined his mother, who was then a member of Richardson's strolling company of players, at Windsor; and, after• a variety of adventures, some of which are equal in interest to any recorded in the pages of fiction, mar ried Chambers in 1808---then an amateur mem ber of Beverley's company at Gloucester. For the six ensuing years, the life of the c elebrated Kean is one continued tale of squalid poverty and mental wretch edness. Many of the scenes are truly heart-rending' Few generous minds will ponder on them witho ut tears. The journey of -- Kean and his wife from Bir: rningharn to Swansea---a distance of one hundred and fifty miles performed on foot—the wife eight month s advanced in her pregnancy, and the husband with a sum considerably less than one pound in his pock et —is one of the most touchin g passages in the whol e work. Its great length a l one p reven ts us from givi n g it here. At last, after six years tossing about, Kean had the good fortune to attra c t th e no ti ce o f Dr. Drury , at one time master of th e H arrow sc h oo l, by whom he was introduced to one of the m anager s of Drury -lane Theatre. He also bec a m e acqua i n t e d w ith Mr. Ar nold, the manager, wh o saw hi m ac t a t Dorchester, an d approved of his perf o r mance .

The sufferi n g s of the great tragedian and his family during this long advent are hardly conceivable. However, he bore ir manfully against all distresses 'till the falling off in t he receipts at Drury-lan e com p e ll e d th e manag ers to h al e recourse to him. The particulars of his first appear ance in the chara c t er o f Shyl oc k, an d the bra n° career which followed, are well known.

The Grand Juries were this morning sworn in before Mr. Justice LITTLEDALE who briefly addressed them on the nature of the duties they were called upon to discharge. The Court then took the special paper, and several cases were struck out, the Counsel concerned not being in at tendance. WILES V. COOPER AND ANOTHER. Mr. ERLE stated this case, which was an action against two magistrates for false imprisonment. The plaintiff was a car penter, living at Cheltenham, and the defendants were two magistrates of the county of Gloucester. On the Ist of May, 1834, a complaint had been preferred before the defendants by a person named Aaron Willicombe, against the plaintiff for wages due him, and the parties having appeared, the magistrates made an order upon the plaintiff to pay Willieombe 2/. 2s. Bd. for wages due as a journeyman carpenter, and 4s. 6d. costs. The plaintiff refused to pay, and stated that he had no property on which the amount could be levied by distress ; upon which the magi strates issued their warrant, sentencing him to two months' imprisonment in the gaol of Cheltenham, in default of pay ment. The plaintiff, after remaining for eight days in gaol, paid the money and was discharged, and then brought his ac tion for false imprisonment against the Magistrates, subject to the decision of the Court. If the Court was of opinion that the defendants were authorised to make the order, and imprison the plaintiff for non-payment of the amount, then the plaintiff Consented to a judgment being entered of noli prosequi. If on the contrary, then the defendants would sub --1;t to judgnient being entered against them, with 51. damages. The case turned upon the construction of the 20th Geo. 11., chap. 19, the 4th Geo. IV., chap. 34, anu Cue 3.'.1 Geo. IV., chap. 18. It did not appear that there was any statement before the Magistrates, of what relation the complainant stood in towards the plaintiff, and unless it appeared that he was a servant, and seeking wages as such, the Magistrates could have no jurisdiction. Mr. Alenmins was heard in reply, and— The COURT took time to look into the Acts referred to. EXCHEQUER COURT,(THIS DAY. AMOS V. WALKER. This was an action for 81. 125., the price of a pocket of hops, which was tried beforo Mr. Justice Parke, at Worcester. Mr. Baron GURNEY read over the Judge's note of the trial, from which it appeared that the hops had been sold to the de fendant by a person named Ward who was indebted to him. Ward was called upon the trial and gave contradictory evi dence ; the jury however believed that the hops were sold and the invoice made out in Ward's name, and therefore found for the defendant. Mr. RICHARDS appeared this morning to chew cause against a rule for a new trial, which had been obtained on the ground of misdirection. The Court, however, without troubling him, called upon Mr. Whitmore to support his rule. He contended that the Learned Judge had merely left it to the jury to say whether the goods had been sold in the name of Ward in place of leaving it to them to say whether they had been sold with the consent of the plaintiff to the defendant, and whether the de fendant was aware at the time of the sale that the hops came from the plaintiff, and that Ward was merely his agent. After a good deal of law arguments between the Learned Gentleman and the Court the rule was dismissed. ELECTION COMMITTEE_(TIIIS D A Y. ) CORK. Mr. THESSIGIR having concluded his summing up, on be half of the petitioners, at the hour of adjournment yes terday, Mr. MEREWETIIER opened the proceedings of the Commit tee this morning, by replying to the arguments of the Learned Gentleman, and then went on to state the evidence which he would produce on behalf of the sitting Member, with a view to maintain his property qualification, and to prove that the no tices served upon the voters were legally served. The Learned Gentleman had not concluded when we left. ENNIS. This Committee met at ten o'clock this morning, and pro ceeded with the scrutiny. The sitting Member was one a-head of Mr. Finucane, the petitioner, at half-past one o'clock. MONMOUTH. . . The scrutiny still goes on, and thus far, the sitting Member and the petitioner are, alternately, one vote above the other, or equal in number. On each side four have been struck off the poll, and when we left, the vote of a person who polled for the sitting Member was under consideration. SHIPPING-(THIS DAY.) FROM LLOYD'S.

COWPER' S S.—VoL: IV Saunders and Otley, London, 1835. f This volum e i s w h o ll y ta k en up w i t h the letters o f Cowper, some of which may vie in grace and ease style, purity of thought, soundness of criticism, ay.% N liveliness of f a n c y, w i t h any i n t h e language' a are familiar—as who i s no t ?— w i t h the Pope a- Swift correspondence, as e l a b orate l y set forth in the voluminous editions o f th ese aut h ors ; but it is CO' ' formal, and artificial, compared with Cowper's. Pope wrote not so much to his acqua i n t an ces, as to the p ub A lic, and Swift, taking th e t one from his friend, adop ted precisely the same course ; hence, in reading their le t ' ters, we do not see their minds in deshabillel,. bli tricked out in a full dress suit. Cowper, on the o n ' trary, expresses himself in his Correspondence, just 115 if he were gossipping familiarly with his friends at the fire-side. He never pauses to round a sentence, or point a joke, but takes the first word that offers► and notes down his first fresh impressions on me° and things. Some of his epistles to Mrs. Thock' morton are models of arch-humour and simplicity' Thus, in writing to her on the subject of his trails' lation of the Iliad, he abruptly breaks off, to °I)- serve, " My perriwig is arrived, and is the very per fection of all perriwigs, having only one fault, which.; is, that my head will only go into the first half of , the other half, or the upper part of it, continuing s till unoccupied." Lively transitions of this sort, the 0 1, 9 Cowp er amusing from their unexpectedness, abound in Letters ; to many of which Mr. Grimsha we ', c h Editor, has affixed slight explanatory notices, w ll ,, o rn tend greatly to enhance their interest. The -- • , vB , ments to the present volume consist of two vie one, of St. Alban's, and the other o f Bennet College, Cambridge.
