Ma. EDITOR--I am glad to recognize S Ylt mons once more in your paper, in the - beautiful quotations which are given with so much taste by a Critic upon his translation of the Agamemnon, and perfectly agree with him in admiring the manner in which it is executed, and the store of erudition which he has scattered over his pre face and his notes, &c., together with the judi cious emendations which he has suggested, and which tend to throw light upon one of the most obscure of all . the Greek tragedians. I am not very conversant in translation, .tebich I seldom or ever look into when I can read the original ; but this comes as near as I ever formed, an idea of perfection in that difficult attetiol, to succeed in which requires the same or more genius in the translator than in the original himself. SYMMONS'S Agamemnon appears_to be no t on l y what every good work of the,:kind.ougl4 to be, a translation of idiar r i, a n d no t merely ot7worils, but the inspiration of the poet of the same order with ESC/I YLUS,—not following, the stria letter,' or maintaining the regular succession of terms, but breathing the same sentiments, and rushing forward to the same gaol, stepping aside now and then, or even•retiring back to f ormer points in the long course of the sentence, just as the sense may call for it, that every idea iriay stand full in sight to the 'English eye as it would to the Greek, for that is the great object of such trans. pOsitions and deviations, and elpeCially by pert. phrasis, in a language so simple and unencum bered, compared with the original. All h e a i m s at is not only to feel what his. Author felt, but to bring that feeling forward itt'aslull an eipreSs sion as a language so different,cau afford to it, to make the body, though in a fcireign dress, keep still in its just proportions; and in this he .gene rally succeeds beyond our expectations, or even beyond our hopes. Take-as one specimen, which I quote : at random, and not aa.coo - pre-emittent, but only sufficient to justify my remark. It is a glowing description of a spoiled and ungrateful son, which may be felt in its original spirit _even by an English reader of this animated trans- lotion. Speaking of PRIAM'S indulgence to PARIS, and the natural consequence so common to all spoiled children—the basest ingratitude, the Chorus ex claims, in langu age to be exceeded by the Greek alone,--- That Princ e a dangerous lion-cub ntred in his palare, witan'd with care, In his tender infant years innocent, and fond, Caresed, how(' by a ll the young and old Oft cra a dled - in their f on dli ng arms, • Like nurslin,, babe he l a y. • But time advanced, (cater grown, He shew'd the nurture of his horrid And the fell parents' manners whence be sprang : For, bad return for all his fost'rer's care He 'mid the wof u l s l aug h ter ' d sheep , Feasted high, though no one bid, While the house ran red with blood! And the great monster, with his ravening jaws, Those trembling inmates pale With horror eyed, nor to encounter dar'd; And so by Heaven's decree they found A priest of Att in their house was bred. 'Phis subject happens to be the same as that which I sent before from the same Poet, up?" a temper that has ever been too common id all ages, and the theme is not yet exhausted, even in the present. How beautifully does our English iEsciumus More hideous than the describe ingratitude—A4 sea-monster—and compare it with the cuckow bird, who thrusts the sparrow from that nest, when it has grown to such a prosperous bulk, the very offspring fostered with itself." And yet, though written by SHAKSPEARE, and in his own language, it does not run more naturally, or pro ceed more smooth to a vernacular ear than this description, which is only in translation. • From . the LONDON GAZETTE, Sept. 25.

Tuesday being the Feast of St. Matthew, and the day fixed for the Election of Mayor for the year ensuing, a full meeting took place at the Guildhall in this Borough, at eleven o'clock, of the Aldermen and Council, to put in nomi. nation font. Gentlemen as proper persons to fill that office, one of whom the inhabitants have the power of choosing. After the usual forms had been gone though, H. H. TIZARD, Esq. the Town Clerk, read the names which the. Court of Aldermen had fixed on, viz. • W. OAKLEY, J. SANDERS, W. BAILEY, and JOHN MARTIN, Esqrs. when the latter Gentleman was proposed by JOHN MANSELI., and seconded by Mr. 'l' . HAWKINS, Churchwarden, and immediately elected without a dissenting voice. After he had taken the usual oaths, and administered those require' front the two new-elected Bailiffs; JosEPJI HORSFORD and WILLIAM OAKLEY, ESVS. and his two Serjeants at Mace, Messrs. SAMPSON and MARGIttE, he rose and addressed his. fellow-townsmen to the following effect:— • "'Not being used to public speaking, it would be highly im prudent in me to attempt to address so respeCtable and nume rous an assemblage; but allow me to return you my most sin cere thanks for the honour you have this day so spontaneously bestowed on me in electing me your Chief Magistrate, being well aware of the arduous duties of that important trust, which I will endeavour to fill with fidelity : and if I err, it will be from the head, and not from the heart." This declaration was received with unbounded cheers by the Meeting, and after a vote of 'thanks had been passed to the late of i Mayor ttihi esoa for his arduous able ch hdountoi andduties sr wt to which c t iai h praiseworthy conduct creditu t e h t eti to the year ree performed discharge town, tii e In jliosssoephil•ednorsford, Meeting th e a w f us t e r thenne os Esq. the late Mayor, gave a magnificent dinner to d Co AlL,eud. l cidG o t oei n s: t l nv Sirfelaoesnt Hotel. d o El. l a i s n The Mayor Elect, Aldermen, and Common Council ; Mas s i Majors ad ACnadnr Andrews and I S t t°n Col., Viscountiower Mas terton Ure, Esq.

Mr. MASTE aTON Uwe then rose, and after returning thanks for himself and- on behalf of his colleagues, spoke nearly as fol. lows :—" Mr. Mayor and Gentlemen—The fast time I had the honour of addressing you was on the occasion of your electing as one of the Burgesses of this ancient and most respectable Corporation my Right Ilon. Colleague (Mr. Wallace) as a mark of respect and gratitude for the important services he had rendered to the country. and the benefits derived from the commercial regulations emanating from him. I then suited that I felt fully persuaded that the same prosperity which attended the commercial and manufacturing interests would speedily find its way into the other branches of the national industry.— In that hope we have not been disappointed ; for it must be , obvious, to every man who has attended to the subject; that, since the period to which I allude, there has been a progressive and important improvement in most of the branches of th e sin. tional wealth. This state of things is mainly' to be attributed to the wise policy and salutary regulations of Government and Parliament, aided by the co.operation plan industrious people ; and I may venture to assert that no former period in the his tory of this country could be mentioned, in which a greater share of comfort and happiness was diffused among the people ; and it is not-the least important feature of these times that a spirit of tranquillity exists in this country almost unparal leled. With states as with smaller Societies; nothing is more conducive to prosperity than pence and harmony among the people. In the general prosperity of the country this town has participated. It is impossible in looking around not to discover the most prominent proofs of it : it is evident from the increased buildings and improvements of various kinds, and, as a consequence of these, an additional population. To all these advantages the town of Weymouth has fully entitled her self by her public spirit and industrious habits. On a former occasion I hailed with satisfaction the unanimity and cordiality which then prevailed ; and I have this day the pleasing task of witnessing a similar instance of it in the election of my worthy friend (Mr. Martin), to fill the office of' Chief Magistrnte:..—., (Hear, bear !)—I feel satisfied that he. like his predecessor, will exert his best energies for the gciod of the 'community over whom he is to preside. I have no doubt that.lik will feel a pride and satisfaction in being placed in the honourable of fice of Chief Magistrate of the ancient and respectable borough ' and town of Weymouth and Alelcombe Reis ; -and that at the end of his Mayoralty it will app ear that fie has. discharged the duties of his office with honour to himself and advantage to the community."—The Hon. Al ember sat down amid loud plaudits. " The Mayor Elect."
