The clash ng upon the shield with the spear, which I conceive to be what is meant in this place by " arnin," was a common signal of warlike rage and defiance practised by the Gre cian and the Roman soldiers before they proceeded to battle ; and I notice it merely to point the at tention of my Reader to a very noble passage in the First Book of Paradise Lost, where the Le gions of Satan empress, in a similar manner, their warlike defiance of Heaven He said ; and, to confirm his words, out flew Millions of flaming swords, drawn from the thighs Of mighty cherubim; the sudden blaze Far round illumined ; highly they raged Against the highest, and fierce with grasped arms Clash's, on their sounding shields the din of war, Hurling defiance towards the vault of Heaven." L. 38,—" His limbs an azure mantle loosely dress'd, And his green locks a crown of reeds compress'd." I - pause for a moment on this description of the River-God, 'fiber, merely for the purpose of re marking on a Note of Dr. Warton's upon the pas sage which has just met my eye. "To this re mark" (a remark of no consequence by Spence) says Dr. W. " I shall beg leave to subjoin, that the moderns, as well as the ancients, are apt to fall into this mixed allegory ; not only in speak ing of Rivers and River-Gods, but in (" on") other subjects, where the Deity.presiding over, and the thing presided over, are confounded and put indiscriminately one for the other. Thus Thomson :--- " Crown'd with the sickle and the wheaten sheaf, While Autumn --" Thus far %ve have some idea of a personage re in c3citi lug tile 3easoti, Autumn ceown'd with a sickle (which by the way is odd) and the Wheat sheaf. But what follows ? Nodding o'er the yellow plain, Comes jovial on".— " Here • nodding' applied to the god, Au tumn, is plainly an epithet belonging to the corn, over which he presided," &c. In this remark of his, this ingenious man, for whose taste I feel much respect, is unquestion ably wrong for that part of the imagery which he notices only as odd, is strangely incongruous, and that part which he censures is perfectly ac curate. To be crowned with a sickle affirms an absurdity; but 1 nodding' is a human action, and strictly consistent with the personMlity (not Deity) attributed by the Poet to Autumn. If the epithet had been, waving, the critical observation would have been just. May I trifle a little longer on this subject, and suggest, that if Thomson bad written Crowo'd by the sickle," i. e. by the in strumentality of the sickle, as a Conqueror may be said to be crowned in consequence of the power of his sword, tl►e expression, with some effort of ingenuity, might have been defended. From our Tiber Pope has drawn his Thames in his Windsor Forest : " High in the midst upon his urn reclined, (His sea-green mantle floating in the wind,) The God appeared." L. I, 2.—At the new sight of ships and martial brass, The waves and forests wonder as they pass." This navigation of the Tiber is described with much picturesque effect. Nothing can be more beautiful than the picture which it here offered to the imagination, of armed -.'essels gliding amid forests over the bosom of a placid and sequestered river, and presenting, to the pacific scene for the first time, a spectacle of warlike exhibition. The contrast of the cottages of Evander with the pro leptical view of their successors, ti►e palaces of Rome ; the address of "Eneas to the Arcadian King, whom be finch sacrificiug in a grove, with the reply of the venerable Sovereign, and the fol lowing story of the monster, Cacus, are all in a strain of equal beauty and poetry, conceived by the mind, and executed with the hand, of a master.

EDITOR—I have been a constant reader of your interestrng Journal for many months past, and particularly so in reference to the com munications on the Practice of the Insolvent Debtor's Court. Very recently the Public. has obtained the sentiments of a Select Committee, in the House of Commons, on the Adnsinstratinn of the Law as to Insolvent Debtors, and the Re port of that Committee decidedly recommends that none but Professional Men, regularly admitted Attornies or Solicitors, shall have any participa tion in the Practice of the Court. The Bill also, which is grounded on that Report, has an express Clause to the same effect. The mischiefs which have resulted from intru• sive Agency perfectly justify such a distinctive Provision ; for, without it, collusive arrests, vexa tious delay, and harrassing expence would inevit• ably follow, and bring a reproach upon the Law itself, as it has done heretofore. How then is it to be reconciled, that the persons who have so daringly defied all legal Regulations, and have pursued sinister Practices of a most disgraceful nature, should contemplate insult to the Report of the Committee, by presenting a Petition to Parliament for a continuance of the Abuses ? It can only be attributed to a desperate effort in a desponding moment. But it is satisfactory to the Public, that tire worthy Member who presented the Petition decidedly said he could not support its prayer. Notwithstanding the positive declaration of the Report, and the proposed enactment of ex clusion, the persons against whom that doclara• iion and enactment have provided, are now in• dustriously engaged in circulating their invita tions to confined Debtors, calling on them to con tinue their reliance in that Agency which has been so justly condemned. The mode by which such Agency is attempted to be still preserved, is un• der the assumption of Attornies' names, who are either dead, or are so reduced in their calling, as to have no professional employment but such as the Agents procure, and from which a small pittance is allowed for their accommodation. It is notorious, that in several instances these Agents have contributed, by snbscription, to take out the anneal Certificates of Attornies who were not in circumstances to defray the expeace, and with the permission of such Attornies the Certificates have become a pr9tection to mal-practices, imposition, and frauds, carried on under their names. To guard against a repetition of the evils ad mitted in the Report, much vigilance will be re quisite to realize the spirit of the preventive en actment, and your able Correspondents are invite ed to exercise that vigilance. In every instance of teal-practice or sinister pretension, it will be desirable that direct information should be given to the Court, and the public will confide in sum mary and prompt interference to defeat the insi dious machinations of the impostors. The penal statutes already existing are not adequate to the prevention of those evils detailed in the Report, as arising out of corrupt Agency. Qui Tarn Ac tions are odious and disreputable, and the numer ous frauds practised by the several Agents cannot be effectually prevented by penal severity against the Attorney, who only lends his name to such practices. Legislative prevention can alone produce the desired attainment. When it shall be clearly and distinctly enacted, that none but regular Attorniea or Solicitors shall practise in the Court, those whe have been accustomed to encourage the illicit con duct of Agents will have an opportunity of ren dering professional assistance in their own per• sons, and many honourable Members of the Pro fession, whose practice has suffered by the inno vations of empiric', may become beneficially use• ful in giving effect to a Law which has been the subject of reproach only because it has beets abused by mal-administration. Be assured, Mr. Editor, there is no want of inclination in Professional Men to afford legal assistance to misfortune. And when it is consi. dered that the legal requisites for application to the Court are so simple, and plainly direct, as to enable most Debtors, who can write and make figures, to obtain relief without the medium of any assistant, and when it is known that there are Societies for aiding those who are too poor to defray the small charges justly attendant on the application for relief, it cannot be insisted, with any appearance of truth, that the Agents were ne cessary for the purpose and practiie they assumed. A total prohibition of their recurrence to those base pursuits which have been so justly condemn. ed, appears indispensible 'to secure the Public against imposition ; and under the enactment which now holds out protection against the evils heretofore existing, I readily avow myself per fectly willing at all times to render that assistance which may be requisite for carrying into effect the measure of Relief to Debtors, with a conscientious and just regard to the right of Creditors, and the expectations of the Community.
