The bells of the different parish Churches continued ringing merry peals during the day. The stan dard of England was hoisted a t th e public buildings, and at thtesteeples of the Churches. The day was observed as a holiday at all the Offices. The Courts of Lthe were merely opened ati. a matter of form, it being the first day of Term. The General Postmen appeared in. new uniforms. About ten o'clock the bands of the three Regi ments of Foot Guards assembled at the Parade in St. James's Parkin their State uniforms, and perfornaed,seve rn i delightful pieces 'of music together, the number pf wind in struments amounting to nearly one hundred, producing a very fine effect. Soon after the. guard was mounted the State colours were brought out. All the : men were drat's ,ed in new regimentals.

The King had appointed yesterday for holding a Draw.- ing-room, which, owing to thelength of time which has elapsed since the last was held, excited considerable rate= rest throughout the country, great numbers having trie yelled a considerable distance; crowds of people assembled about the, avenues leading to the palace.

The scene wherein this detection takes place is written with considerable, we might almost say terrific energy; it is a striking portrait of oriental jealousy. When I entered the apartment of Fatimali, ther4 was a hurry and confusion in her manner, as she received me, which, in spite of my own depression of spirits, did not fail to strike me; and though she made an effort to compose her features, and welcarne me with a smile as she took her usual seat, I could not'refrain from inquiring whether any thing had happened to disturb her? ' Nothing whatever,' replied she : I should rather put that question to you, Ismael; for you look as grave and dull as if you had come to consult with.a doctor of laws, not to meet your mistress : what is the matter?'—' I cannot,tell, Fatimah it is true, however, my spirits are unusually low,. and I come to you to cheer' them : Will you exert your power's upon me ?' " She cast a penetAting look at me ; hut there was no thing in my conntdiance to awaken her suspicion. Re sinning her smile, e said, ' Well, my dear Ismael, we both require some cordial to restore us; a little refresh ment will do neither of us harm ; and as we seem likely to be poor company to each other, you will not, perhaps,.ob ject to some addition to our party. Nay, look not strange.: t'l have invited moose guests to-night ; for I begin to 'think latimah alone, for ever, might he tiresome. Ismael like variety, does be not _?' In truth, I did look at her with . surprise. Never, in .the whole course of our intimacy, had such a thing beep suggested ; sod I knew. - not what to think of the strange terms in which it was pow proposed ; there was a wild, unsettbl expression in her eye, which ought to have roused my alarm ; but my mind was too absent to heed it much: It is one of her caprices,' said I, mentally, ' we shall i r soon see to what it tends.' blood is of the same stream as yours, and who will spill it all to serve you. Do not go from us then my brother ! let us be one family, as once we were, and we may yet see many happy days !' " A pang of feeling for a moment convulsed the calm Ind • noble countenance of her brother : his cheek was flushed with a glow of deep emotion; but it quickly pas'sed ,sway, and all was pale, sad, and tranquil as before. N o ! my dear sister—no! it cannot be. I was born a desert bird, and such must I die; I am choked with the pent up sir of your cities; the conventional arrangements and the srtitcial restraints of civilized life are intolerlble to me. I must be free—l require the interminable dßert to breathe in, and a•range to wander over, bounded only by my own will. No ! the gourkhur of the desert cannot be tamed— the antelope endures not confinement—if you clip the fal con's wings, he pines and dies. No, my dear sister ! your Ismael's temper, kindly, warm, and social, yet noble, gene rous, and ardent, is fitted for intercourse with those who dwell in cities ; there he is in his own sphere; he will be loved and respected among such men, and with them should he remain. But I, wild, ungovernable, enthusiastic, and ambitious, must not wander from mine. Our kindred are gone, my sister ! already does the rank herbage cover their bones ; the ashes of their habitations have been scattered to the font winds of heaven. Of our tribe but a few remain, the scattered pearls of a broken chaplet ; but they do not the lesedemand the protection of their chief. It shall be my care to re-unite them ; with them' will I range the deserts where my fathers dwelt. I will once more esta blist the fortune of my tribe, and exalt the name of rekeh ; or the last of my race shall And a.nameless grave in its wide and barren bosom. Farewell, dearest sister Ismael, my friend, my brother, once more famwell !—if we meet not again on earth, we shall in Paradise. May your path be ever prosperous, and may the arm of the Al mighty be your protection !'—He rushed from us, and in a moment was lost to our view." eediaglY lay there Weet rHE DIRECTOR S have caused TABLES to be calculated, in which the price of INSURANCE fig the TWO SEXES is at all ages dis tinguished.

Scotland—as Mr. 1 - daztitt 'has somewhere ob served— -may well be prouaof }liras, for; is far as mere nature goes, he is decidedly the greatest poet she has produced; in which respect Sbakspehre alone can compete with him. in England. But at this point we must qualify our -praise.; content with saying that he possessed, in unusual abun dance, many of the intellectual treasures that nature lavishes upon a favoured child, we 'must add, as a per contra statement, that he was notoriously deficient in'even the most ordinary grace and refinement. Wherever he has attempted them he has almost invariably failed ; his genius seems tp . desert him; .he becomes cold an tame, and con scious of his trammels. This applies to those few among his poems in. which he has adopted the Eng lish idiom, or forced himself to pay a .compliment ; and more especially to those letters wherein he has aimed either at fine writing or extravagant senti'- ment. But perhaps it may be urged, in answer to these charges, that. Burns was a mere self-taught' Scotch peasant: so also is Hogg; yet where,.in the wide compass of modern literature, is there a more refined, - finished, or, in its wu; even classical poem, than his fairy " Kilmeny .It is singular indeed, 40 compare the fancy, which in both is pre.4minant, of the" Two Shepherds,"—equals, at least, in point of education—Burns and Hogg. The one is coarse, daring, capricious, and clinging to the corporeal even in his wildest reveries;—the other, delicate, romantic, etherial, and gaining the Empyreum, not at one bold flight, but in a series, as it weri,of tirnidandstealthy ascents. The imagery of " Tam o' Shunter," comes on us at once, startling and abrupt : that of " Kilmeny" is developed gradually, and gracefully, and soak over us with the " noiseless step pf a sim mer gloarnin." Hogg's fancy possesses more of the abstraction of poetry about it ; Burns is-more ani mal, more sensual. In point of sublimity, no com parison can exist between the two men: " Tern o' Shanter," whether we regard its neat touches of character • its lively fancy, terrific power of description, or breadth' of comic humotir—reacltes the very highest point of genius : Kilmeny is exquisite in only one style of excellence, and that.of a lofty, though not the loftiest ,order. But -it is in his rustic songs, in. his homely, artless appeals to the customs and sensibilities of his own countrymen, that Burns is the most suecessfnl. liere he leavesallTompiti tion _behind him, atid we can imagine—though we cannot ourselves feel the full force of its beauty, and have'ever considered it overritted-;--that the" Cotter's Saturday Night" must, to a devont Scotch peasant, be second only in interest or Value to his Bible. One great reason for this fascinatiOn, is the dexterous use that Burns has made of his vernacular dialect. It is slightly toughened with Scotticisms, to give it freedom and nature, yet not sufficiently so as to ren der it uncouth : so much indeed is our poet indebted to:his idiom,' that in many eases it buoys up and elevates a low or oommonplace thought ; and the unconscious peasant may often fancy that he is ad miring a beautiful sentiment, when. in fact, he is merely doing justice to the language in which it is robed. this Fe' i n de ogshea4. tioti 356 large 0 he price, WILLIAM BARNARD, Keeper.

I observed that not a drop had passed them, and was surprised ; perhaps, unknown to myself, -a shade of suspieinw now crossed my mind. Here, Ismael,!. said she ' drink of this, beverage; it was prepared by Fa tima!) ; and trusOpe, its cool refreshing influence will soon dispel this melancholy . The tremulous agitation of her voice, and the unsteady keenness of her eye, in creased the alarm I had Just began to feel. Excuse sue, Fatimall, I cannot taste it ! I know not why ; but my soul turns with loathing from this draught ! I ant op pressed---I am ill !' What ! Ismael loathe the Cup presented by the hand of Fatimah ? nay, then, I have rightly deemed thee changed! The day has been whets even poison from her hands would have seemed sweet to Ismael;--but it is well ; it, matters not !" The fleeting colour mad the suppressed, .sigh which accompanied these wards, smote upon my heart; for I ascribed them to an emotion far other than the true one. ' Upbraid me not, Fatimah,' said I ; I meant not to slight your kindness: the meanest gift from your :hands must ever 'he sweet to' me ! give me the cup ?' Slowly I raised it to my lips : but ere a drop had passed them, a piercing scream arrested ea • hand, and the liquor fell untaited on the floor.— ' 'Great God ! whose .voice was that ? Fatisnalt ! what meant that shriek ?' She answered me not;—pale as ashes, and with her large dark eyes strained forward, her whole soul seemed bent to catch the next sound. Just then, a noise at the inner door struck her ear : They are come !' cried she, a fierce joy lighting up her counte nance—‘ they are come You who scorn the food I have prepared, see if von better like the, guests I have bidden !' She clapped her 'hands, the door opened, and . four female slaves appeared, leading in a woman veiled and bound ; but while !iazins_ at this oinirnurssigb.s, I was myself. seized from behu s' d, ant my arms were pinidneff by seieral-isassedil slaves, before I could rise to defend myself. " The face of Fatimah was now burning with the tut. controulled expression of the rage which filled her breast. Her large eye kindled, and her form dilated majestically as she addressed me with a bitter smile : How say you; Ismael ?-000 word of welcome to my guests ? Are they mot sucliNyuu mould have ehosen ? Are they all strangers to you ?' But stay, he has not seen them all: unveil the lady ! You know not yet the kindness of Fatimah !' "Confounded with doubt and amazement, I stood lis tening to her words, elroost unconscious of their meaning; hut her manner froae my blood. I turned my eyes at her bidding, and fixed them in silent dread upon the veiled female : the veil slowly rose, and a wild cry, of horror escaped my lips as it discovered the features of the unfortu nate Zechalt ! We have dwelt upon this tale at more than usual length,from . an anxit-ty to do justice to its author's very superior ability. He is evidently a man well acquainted with the East ; not ill-versed in know ledge of human character ; and remarkably happyin the fluency and grace of his narration. His charac ters, how•ver, if we except Selim and Shireen, who are in sketch, and Fatimah, who is nothing except in the one scene we have quoted, ate drawn rather from boas than from life—a medium respectable enough certainly, but one which-never fails to give a coldness and want of keeping to the portraits. Even Nadir Shah himself, who acts a conspicuous part throughout the tale, is comparatively lifeless; one reason for which, as it appears to us, is that the author, in his zeal for historical correctness, has distrusted his own nature. Had Sir W. Scott fol lowed this example with -his portraits of Elizabeth, Louis XI., • Argyll, Burgundy, and a hundred others, instead of filling up the outlines sketched out for him by history, with his own ardent sympathies as • a man, he would' never have been the writer he now is. to be de' Less done is to take rice will' le is C4s Al; E.

The stream of his story, instead of flowing on in one broad uninterrupted tide, is perpetually diverted from its proper channel, and broken up into small branching rivulets, which few will have leisure or inclination to explore. This is no.slight fault ' • the plot of a tale, like " Young Rapid,” - in " A Cure for - the.,,kleart Ache," should alwayi " keep moving ;" this is peculiarly the charm of that magnificent Setion Anastasius; the hero there is ever before our eyes, we do 'not lose sight of hint for an instant, the consequence of which is, that he grows progressively upon our feelings, and we can with difficulty shake off the impression made by ,his un timely end. But we will not part. with the.author of the Kuzzilbash uncivilly; there are passages and incidents, besides those we have mentioned, of great power and beauty in his tale—such for instance as the arrival of the Turcomans at their encampment after a predatory excursion, which reminds us of 111r.Cooper's vivid description of the return home of the Pawnee Indians to their tents—the scene in the desert, where a rascally innkeeper confesses indirectly the intended murder of his guest—the battle between Nadir Shah and the Affghaun usurpers of Ispahan ; the interview between the former and the King of Persia, &c. For the sake of these ably-detailed,in- - cidenti, the author of the Kuzzilbash, (even though he has regenerated Meg Meanies in the person of the Sheikh Alle Calunder), is entitled to our warmest thanks. In this spirit we bid him farewell. . 36, 145 ' 366. 44 '' 4.3 , 4 45:_t !es of th i4 becolo g improv fine o °- thout .3. to .."' 5 " .8. to is. to 3 0 ‘' -s. to -. 4 . -3. to --a. is. to 4t,V. ley, 28 Barley, 0 ..~.. ~• We, might enlatgn on this prolific subject—the order and quality of the intellect of this first of Scottish poets—did we not find it done better to our hands in the volume before us. Mr. Loeklurct is a gentleman every , Awry calculated t• appreciatt the genius of Burns : he is himself a poet of no mean rank; a prose-writer of surprising energy, sarcasm, and freedom of thought; and fortu nately too little of " a modern liberal" to blason forth the faults, and trample upon the ashes of the dead. In his present memoir—notwithstanding that the field of biographical, research had already been so diligently reaped,—he has contrived to glean a few interesting facto; and by the vigour and ear nestness of his narrative to throW , a gloss over what was dim, and regenerate what Was faded and insipid. His apology, in particular, for the occasional devo tional lapses of poor Burns, at a time when his spirits were high, and youth was strong Within him, is very generously and ably executed, and gives an amusing insight into the strong parochial schisms, so prevalent at that time throughout the south of Scotland. But our readers must purchase the book and judge for themselves.

Soon after -- the Duke and Duchess of Gloucester arrived in state. Their Royal' Highnesses were attended by Lady Isabella Thymic-. Col. Higgins, and Mr. Curry. The 'Royal Duke appeared in his Field Marshal's uniform, wearing several orders.

This is a tale of the East, of the same school as Anastasius and Hajji Baba; with infinitely less masculine power, and acquaintance with the darker passions of our nature than the first; and more spirit and versatility of talent than the last. It is a mean between the two. The scene lies chieflyin the Per sian proyinceof Khorasan, and the time of action is the commencement of the last century ;' when the great Nadir Shah was just commencing that career of glory, which terminated in the conquest of the EaSt. The hero of the tale is Ismael Khan, a Kuzzilbash (i. e. Turkish soldier), who, at an early period of childhood, is torn from home by a party of roving Turcomans, and domesticated in the house of a Chieftain of that tribe, with whose Son Selith he forms a strict friend ship; so strict, indeed, that it leads, in due time, to the seduction of his sister Shireen. For this faux pas the Kuzzilbash is 'compelled to quit the Turco mans, and with the , privity of Selim,—who, finding that his sister's dishonour was not the result of deliberate treachery, but of a youthful and uncontrnulable attachment, is persua ded to forgive his friend—shapes his course towards the deserts, wherein he encounters a land -storm, the details of which are given with freedom and energy. In his journey across these sands, he acci dentally falls in with Ibrahim Khan, brother of Nadir Shah,to whom he so strongly recommends himself by one or two seasonable acts of heroism, that Ibrahim takes him forthwith to his brother's court, and there procures him a military appointment among the house hold. This introduces us at once to the Shah himself, whose apvearatice :is forcibly described, and what is better stilt, with due regard to historic accuracy. He was at that time ( 1722) a warrior in the flower of his youth, at the head of a fine Persian Army, by whose assistance he rescued his country 'from the rebellions tribes who then possessed its, provinces, and restored it whole and unshackled to its lawful Sovereign Shah Tahmaseb. Of his subsequent usurpation the author of the Kozzilbaih does not profess to treat, his story regards only t h e ear li er achievements of the conqueror.. Under Nadir's aus pices our hero soon becomes . a person conse quencehis valour procures him prom ot i on , hi s. gotih ; humour, friends; and after a long brilliant cam paign he is ordered into quarters at the holy city of Mushed, which Nadir Shah had just rescued from the rebels. At this place, the haunt of luxury and dissipation, he encounters the usual adventures of a soldier; he spends his money at a gambling table, his health and substance at the bath, and then, tired of promiscuous intercourse,• fixes, his affections on the mistress of an old Mashed ;Moollah. This lady (by name Fatimah) is a jealous, haughty, avaricious, dark eyed beauty, fond to excess in love, and equally extreme its hate. . For a 'time her affection' for our Kuzzilbash knows no bounds, but unluckily, just as it is op the ebb, she discovers that he has been intriguing with her slave Zeebah. The usual con sequences follow thiS discovery; the poor slave is tortured by Fatimah's orders in presence of the Kuziilbash, who, fettered and unarmed, can render no assistance; and she herself takes poison, after hav- About a month subsequent to this catastrophe, the Kuzzilbash returns to the camp of Nadir Shah , by whom he is at first contumeliously treated for his long absence, hnt afterwards promoted,in consequence of his having saved his life in an encounter with the rebel Affghauns. Our hero accompanies the con queror through two succeeding campaigns, witnesses his triumphal 'entry into Ispahan, the Persian capi tal, and is, like a hundred others, awe-struck with his rigid unswerving administration of justice. Jiist at this period, when Nadir has reinstated the so vereign on his throne, news is .brought that - the Turcoman tribes are in arms ; without a moment's delay the conqueror quits Ispahan, and pushes for ward to give battle to the rebels, whom he defeats with prodigious loss. The Kuzzilbash meanwhile returns on leave of absence to Mushed ; where un expectedly he meets his first love Shireen ; from whose lips he learns that Selim---=her brother and his friend— bad been taken prisoner, together with numerous other.Turcoman chiefs, by Nadir, and was at that very moment lodged in the state dungeon at Mushed. To obtain, no 'natter by what means, the pardon of his old friend, is at once the .Kuii bash's resolution ; aepordingly he seeks an interview with Nadir Shah, and after long, and for some time hopeless entreaties, finally•succeeds in obtaining it. With this good news he returns to Selim, 'hoping that his friend and himself will not in future be separated ; 'but finds' that the higli spi n cited young Turcoman chief, a sort of Rob Roy in his romantic love of country—is _fixed in a de termination to return to hit native deserts ;, and there, collecting his scattered tribes, to emigrate with . them to, some free region in the remotest puts of Persia. His sister Shireen (with whom the Kuz zilbash extract leave v e scene e f them in is on the eve or marrit4ge) enneavours to persuade him to. stay with Ahem at blushed : but in vain, the wild andrccesrtl.essm e S 7 e I im takes a w b b r i t e lp h ti t y his Pd resolution for is announced : it is full of feel ing, and worthy to have procOeded from Rob Roy ; when his diminished clan, with himself and Ilelen Macgregor at their head, bade a long farewell to the Highlands. ,r At length the time arrived when ,Selim must depart, He had tarried until he saw me unitpd to his sister by the strictest bonds of out law but the piddiness of returning health had scarce revisit ed hi' pale cheek, ere the thought of his high duties roused him to action, and he prepared to bid us farewell. Rejecting the gifts I fain would have heaped upon him, he only woultVaccept of that which once had been his parting gift to life.--a warrior's outfit ; and I took care that it should be cotnnte• Oh yet, my brother, go not from us !' exclaimed Shireen, wringing her hands in bitter grief, as, all equip ped for his journey, he stood before us for the last time ; Ilethink you, that you have no object to love—none to love you when you go to the desolate plairts where our tents once stood and our flocks pastured. All is silent there! .
