THE TURKISH AMBASSADOR. The following are particulars relating to the Turkish Ambassador lately arrived at Paris, and his suite :—" Mus tapha Redschid Bey bears the title of Minister Plenipo tentiary and Envoy Extraordinary to the King of the French. At Constantinople Mustapha was the Grand Re ferendary of the Divan, whose duties are to make reports upon all the affairs, whether political or administrative, which are to be discussed in Council before the Sultan. He enjoys a high reputation for wisdom and integrity. He is acquainted with all the Eastern languages, but knows none of those of the Western nations. He is about 38 years of age, small in stature, but having a fine and ex tremely mild countenance. He frequently salutes, and with a degree of humility. He wears the civil costume of his country, which is a species of frock, of a blue colour, but toned in the front, with a collar and cuffs embroidered with gold on a sky-blue ground, a sword in a gold sheath, sus pended by a gold belt, and a silver plate on his coat, set with diamonds. He wears on his head a red cap, with a fold of black silk, which falls over his eyes, and is the only part of his dress which is different from the general costume of Europe. It is by no means graceful, but he never ap pears without it. It has replaced the turban, which was much handsomer and more convenient. His Excelleuey - *Mined on Friday at St. Cloud, where the King received him with extraordinary marks of distinction. He was accompanied by his interpreter, and by his colleague Namick-Pasha, Minister to the Court of London, who arrived at Paris on Thursday, and who speaks French with great facility and spirit. He wears the uniform of a Turkish general officer, which is distinguished from that of Mustapha only by having a greater portion of embroidery, and enor mous gold epaulettes, which seem to have been borrowed from the Prussian military uniform. Namick-Pasha is rather tall, of distinguished features, and manner announc ing a degree of haughtiness and of assurance. The inter preter of Mustapha, who is the only offices attached to the Embassy, is a man already advanced in age, has a white beard, and has a serious mild expression of face. He has at Constantinople the reputation of being a learned man, and is Director of the Academy or College. He speaks several of the Western languages, and particularly French. After dinner he passed an hour in examining the pic tures and curiosities that adorn the Palace. The paint ings on porcelain, and particularly the magnificent mosaic table representing the shield of Achilles, peculiarly at tracted his attention ; he expressed his admiration with a fire that.may be said to have been poetical. The son of the interpreter was also invited. He is a remarkably fine boy, 11 years old, speaking French with great fluency, and with very little foreign accent, and having the best man ners and address. His education was commenced by his father. He played the whole evening with the Duke d'Aumale. He requested the young Duke to write his name on a strip of paper, and having obtained it he folded it up with care, and deposited it in his pocket, as if it were an article of the highest value. He then took a pen himself, and wrote in a very fine hand, and without the least fault, "Je suis votre servitcur Ahmed Vefik." This the Prince received, promising that he would preserve it with the utmost care. The King had also in vited several Frenchmen of distinction who, in different capacities, have resided at Constantinople. Among the number were—General Guilleminot, Admiral Hugon, M. Jouannin, his Majesty's intepreter, M. de Langsdorff, M. de Sainte Aulaire, and M. de Laborde, all of whom took plea sure in conversing with the Turkish Envoy, either directly or through his interpreter. The Government is seeking for an hotel for the Turkish Ambassador, the Government at Constantinople having appropriated there a residence for the French Embassy."—French Paper. FORGERY. A rumour has been in circulation for the last two or three days that an act of forgery had been committed by Mr. Deacon, of Barnack, near this town, who has recently been made a bankrupt ; and upon making inquiry in a quarter in which the fact must be known, we learn that the report has not been promulgated without foundation, and that a warrant is at this moment in the hands of an officer for his apprehension. The forgery has been committed upon the Stamford and Spalding Joint Stock Bank, the parties whose names were used in the cheque being Messrs. Richard and William Lambert, of Barnack, and the sum drawn 180/. It is feared that this is not the only crime of the'same na ture he has committed, but that in a day or two more dis coveries will be made. The amount of his debts is already declared to be very large, several of which are stated to have been contracted in a fraudulent manner. He arrived in Stamford from London on Saturday evening, by the De-' fiance, and immediately started for Barnack, hut on Friday morning he had absconded. He is supposed to be some where in the neighbourhood, and it will be the duty of any one who may know aught of his retreat, or who have seen him since Sunday morning, to communicate with Mr. Read, the police officer, or the Bank, that the ends of justice may be satisfied. It is singular that Deacon was the person whose evidence went to convict a man named Gillson at the Lin coln assize last year, for a forgery upon the same bank. Deacon was noted for his great piety, being a regular at tendant at the altar whenever the sacrament was adminis tered, and was generally looked upon as a man " without guile."—Stamford News. THE NEW TOWN OF GODERICH. Seven years back the Huron tract was untrodden by the feet of Europeans, yet such is the march of industry and perseverance, under the guidance of the Canada Company, that several towns have been laid out and already built to an extent presenting an appearance of importance auguring a rapid march to wealth, while it opens an improving market for the manufacturers of tke parent country. The town of Goderich, on the shores of Lake Huron, has within five years risen to a degree of prosperity (when its situation at the very limits of the Huron tract is considered) almost beyond belief. Already there are upwards of one hundred houses (including six general stores and two inns), finished and fully occupied ; many others are in progress of erection. A handsome steam-boat has been launched, and has been plying since July. During the past week the harbour pre sented a business-like appearance that augurs well for her future commercial prosperity. No less than four schooners had arrived all fully laden, and were lying at the wharfs, viz :—the Dolphin, of Oakville, from Toronto ; the Cin cinnati, of and from Buffalo ; the Theresa and Catherine, both belonging to spirited resident individuals, and employed between that port, Detroit, and Buffalo, displaying a de gree of enterprize that will no doubt extend itself under the fostering care of the Company's agents, and raise its character to that speedy importance the situation is calcu lated it should obtain. A most excellent road, cut through the south-east part, has been turnpiked ; and the Company are now making arrangements to turnpike fifty miles of road, from thence to this town, in the present season, which when completed, will enable emigrants to avail themselves of the advantages presented to agricultural settlers, by the superiority of soil throughout that beautiful tract of country. It is also proposed to form a company for the purpose of establishing a fishery on the lake, whose noble waters afford a never-failing supply of salmon trout, black and white bass, suckers, herrings, &c. of a quality to satisfy a gourmand, and the wants or wishes of settlers during their early opera tions.—American Paper. HIGH WATER AT LONDON BRIDGE TO-MORROW. Morning minutes after L I Evening "9 minutes after I A ROYAL TRADER. It is well known that the King of Holland is not only a monarch, but a merchant. There is scarcely a great com mercial establishment in his dominions in which he is not a sleeping partner. Hence the main source of his enormous accumulations, while the hope of still increasing them makes him risk capital to a vast amouut. He advanced to Mr. Cockerill, of Liege, a sum of 1,192,116 florins, of which not more than 12,500 florins have ever been repaid. The reason of his having done so was because he himself had the chief interest in the concern. The actual firm was Nassau and Cockerill, though the royal name did not ap pear before the public. King William, however, is not likely to be a loser ultimately by this speculation ; for Mr. Cockerill having arranged matters with the Belgian Go vernment, and secured the permanent possession of his commercial territory, is now proceeding in so successful a career, that should it continue for some few years more, he will be enabled not only to discharge all demands upon him, but to realise an immense fortune. Perhaps Europe does not at this moment present so extraordinary an instance of individual enterprise as this gentleman. At Saraing, his principal establishment near Liege, he has a vast iron foun dry, a-steam engine manufactory, a manufactory for making wool cards, a cotton manufactory, and a machine manufac tory ; at Ardenne, on the Meuse, he has a paper manufac tory, a large calico-printing• establishment, and a woollen manufactory ; hs is a principal partner in the Dutch Com pany for building steam-boats ; at Berlin he has a cotton manufactory, and another at Warsaw, as also a cloth manu factory ; in Spain he is a proprietor of lead mines, covering a large tract of country, and he has a plantation at Suri nam ; he is the owner of a considerable estate in Lincoln shire, almost all the houses in the S p a belongto him, and he has several in Brussels. Such is the man with whom the King of Holland has been in partnership for many years. Numerous must be the demands both up on hi s time and capital. John Leonard, Esq., has arrived at Claremont, county of Wicklow, from Paris. CO Merit of Bart., - Dr. 80. Tu.

" by LONDON, WEDNESDAY EVENING, OCTOBER 1, 1934. We have received by express the Paris papers of Monday. There is very little news respecting the si tuation of the Biscayan provinces. The war appears likely to be protracted, and many persons consider the intervention of France as indispensable, if reinforcements cannot be sent. But, on the other hand, this interven tion is by no means popular, and it is said that several provinces would make great sacrifices to avoid it. Among them Catalonia is mentioned as offering to equip two or three battalions to be sent to Navarre and Murcia, which offer four. The company of chas seurs of the first battalion of the Urban Guards of Madrid has asked to be incorporated in the army of Navarre, to assist in the destruction of the Carlists. If we were asked, among the many causes which contribute to the eradication of notorious public abuses, to point out the one which most expedites the uproot ing of the evils, we should immediately answer, " the blind and baneful pertinacity with which all abuses are defended by those interested in their continuance." The avowed advocates of a bad system are always the first to expose its rottenness and corruption ; the sworn champions of misrule are ever the earliest in showing the ruinous consequences of tolerating it ; and the fiercest trumpeters of the dangers to be apprehended from change, are continually the foremost to demon strate the necessity of what they themselves repudiate. Where, for example, is there an infidel who could so expose the monstrous abuses which disgrace the Esta blished Church in Ireland, as the Rev. MARCUS G. BERESFORD has done in his correspondence with the Rev. Mr. LYONS? Where the foul-mouthed conspi rator against the peace of the country, who could give utterance to the bloody and treasonable threats of the same reverend gentleman in his recent addresses to the Irish Orangemen, thus demonstrating the culpable folly of England in the part she has hitherto taken in defence of an establishment whose worst enemy is her hierarchy.? But England is at last awake to the imposi tions of which for centuries she has been made the dupe. She now begins to understand the real character of the hollow-hearted hypocrites whose " God was their bel lies," whose zeal consisted in persecuting their Catholic brethren, and whose religion was a rite of blood and plunder. This she never would have discovered, had not her guides been beneficed churchmen, drunk with wealth, and, in the fury of disturbed intoxication, bel lowing forth threats against all who would interfere with the celebration of their bacchanalian orgies. The Pro testants of England, who have been so eloquently and feelingly appealed to by the Orange parsons who figure as political demagogues in Ireland, have now an opportu nity of forming a correct estimate of the character of those who advocate a " war to the knife," in defence of their unholy exactions—who would plunge Ireland into all the horrors of a civil war to provide a main tenance for reverend fox-hunters, of infinitely less value to their country than the objects of their cruel amuse ments. But hypocrites the most consummate are liable to overact their parts, and in the case of rectorial oppres sion, in which the Rev. MARCUS G. BERESFORD, the Bishop of KILMORE his father, the Rev. Mr. LYONS, and the Archbishop of ARMAGH, act such conspicuous parts, the folly of the son is as conspicuous as the hauteur, and the clerical assumption of his right reverend sire. The attempt on the part of both to crush an innocent man, who had more regard to the strict per formance of his sacred duty than to the observance of passive obedience to the commands of an Orange parson, is so obvious that a mere glance at the facts of the case is all that is required to the fullest understanding of its entire bearing. It is proper here to observe that the conduct of the Rev. M. G. BERESFORD, which gave rise to the correspondence which is now being pub lished, took place in the month of December last, and that the appeal made to the Lord Primate by the in jured individual, is yet unanswered. And now we come to the facts of the case. Among the many pieces of church preferment which an indulgent Irish Lord Bishop heaped on a son, in all respects worthy of a name not unheard of in the annals of the Irish rebellion, was the vicarage of Drung, of which the do-nothing champion of Orangism appointed the Rev. THOMAS LYONS curate. This gentleman, who had imbibed rather strict notions of the duties of a Chris- tian Priest in a neighbourhood not overstocked with intelligence, commenced a course of Sunday lectures for the instruction of the young catechumens under his care, which, in accordance with the ecclesiastical canons, was delivered in the church. What there was in this proceeding to alarm the Orange Vicar is not known, but he commanded that the deli very of lectures in church should terminate, and that all future instructions should be given at the parsonage. This command was not obeyed by the Curate, who remonstrated with the Vicar, on the ground that, by the Canons, lectures could not be delivered by a clergyman of the established church, save in the place appointed for the celebration of public worship. This was too much for the patience of an Irish Lord Par son. The Curate was instantly discharged, with out the shadow of a just cause being advanced for the proceeding ; and without an hour's notice being given by which the dismissed clergyman might have an opportunity of providing for himself and his family. But even this, bad as it is, displays not the ava rice of the reverend despot, to half the extent which his cutting off the curate's last month's salary, amounting only to 6/. Bs., to pay in part for the rent of a wretched conacre of potatoe-ground, for which the Orange Rector charged 71. 10. ! But, conscious of his own integrity, the Rev. Mr. LYONS resolved not to submit to such an outrage. He accordingly addressed a letter to the Bishop of the Diocese, who being the father of the Rev. MARCUS, dismissed the case in half a line, which we give for the information of those who would study brevity in letter-writing : " It is now too late to apply for a license. " I am, &c. The persecuted curate not being satisfied with a laconic answer to his statement of wrongs suffered i the cause of conscience, wrote to the Primate, where, as he states himself, he found that the door of justice had been closed against him, in consequence of the in fluence that had been exerted by the humane and be nevolent BERESFORDS—father and son. However, as his letter to the ARCIIBISIIOP contains a summary of the case, we quote the following extract, to which we direct particular attention I must beg leave to make a preliminary statement of some facts illustrative of the peculiar case, and necessary to the full appreciation of its singularity. " In the month of July, 1831, I came over from England, at the request of my friend Mr. Martin, then lately appointed to the parish of Killyshandra, by the University of Dublin, of which he had been a Fellow, to assist him in the ministry of his parish. In consequence of the want of a suitable resi dence, and finding, after the lapse of a year and a half, that I could not be of much more service to him, I determined to return to England. When it was known that I had re signed the curacy of Killyshandra, Mr. Buse, of Temple port, and Mr. Story, of Ballyconnell, solicited me to join them in the ministry of the respective parishes, which, in consequence of my previous determination I declined to do. My friend, Mr. Martin, desirous that I should remain in the diocese, mentioned to me that Mr. Beresford, Vicar-General of the diocese, and son of the Bishop, had expressad to him a wish that I should join him in the ministry of this parish. By the advice of Mr. Martin, my principal objections to a farther residence in this country being in some measure overruled, I acceded to the proposal thus made to me. " To have sought out a license under these circumstances, to guard me against any improper advantage that might be taken of the want of a protection so merely formal, seemed to me, at the time, as involving a want of courtesy towards one, whose station, and obligation to the church for every thing which he possesses, appeared a sufficient guarantee of the impossibility of his taking an unworthy advantage of a brother clergyman. Of this impression other circumstances were confirmatory. I was ordained a priest by the Bishop of Kilmore. He received me at his house. He visited me at the rectory house of Killyshandra, then my residence, and likewise here, since my arrival. He appointed me Lent Preacher the only two Lent seasons I have passed in the dio ' eese. I was summoned to the diocesan visitations, and thus recognised as a clergyman of the diocese. Added to all these extrinsic circumstances, was the consciousness of a desire to discharge my duty fully, and of an ability to discharge it well. Having, accordingly, done my duty as a strict Church of England clergyman, zealously, boldly, and efficiently to the people committed to my spiritual charge for the past year, I cannot find any terms to characterize conduct so .anomalous as that used towards me. To call it unclerical, ungentlemanlihe, unmanly, would still leave much not expressed. Were this the act of a good man and zealous churchman, if so absurd a sup.. position may be admitted for a moment, towards a clergyman loose in his principles, irregular in his behaviour, and ineffici ent in his office, it would be unhesitatingly characterised, as not only contemptuous of episcopal rule, but as one tyrannously op pressive ; alike alien to the spirit and principles of our ecclesi astical polity, and of the age in which it has been perpe trated; exceeding even the license permitted by the law, in dismissing our menial servants. For I must beg leave to re mark to your Grace, that two hours' notice was given to me of the suspension of my spiritual functions in this parish, and of the deprivation of those means of subsistence, which the church has allocated for stipendiary clergymen. " As characteristic of the spirit of this transaction, I may be permitted to mention the fact, that since Sunday, Dec. 8, there has not been any catechetical lecture in the church of Drung, although this violation of the law has been within episcopal cognizance since Dec. 31. " I therefore, appeal to your Grace, as my metropolitan, trusting to your Grace's known character as a churchman, that the consequences of an act so shamelessly oppressive, shall not be permitted to fall upon an unoffending clergyman, whose worst crime is a fearless determination to act according to the obligations of his ordination vow." It would be a waste of time to give a single word to the discussion of the real merits of this case. An Orange incendiary, whom a father, only intent on loading his family with wealth, thrusts into the church, and loads with benefices, appoints a cu rate at about 801. a-year to discharge the duties of a parish, yielding the lazy incumbent an an nual income, little short of 2,0001. The curate happens to be a man of talent, of character, and, above all, a Christian intent on the spiritual re generation of his flock. He opens a course of lec tures, preaches, admonishes, instructs, and comforts the poor people ; so that in a short time he begins to he talked of among the Clergy as setting a dangerous example, which threatens to multiply the labours of an indolent dissolute priesthood. His superiors know not what course to adopt ; but presum ing he is ignorant of the Canons, or what is more likely, being themselves so, they instruct his imme diate superior to command the discontinuance of the lectures, save where they knew the poor could not be brought to attend them—namely, in the school house. The command is resisted on the ground of a conscientious scruple, and the conspirators against a good man, and the danger of a good example among priests, succeed, by his instant ejection from his home and hearth--from a spot in which his labours had consecrated the very name of religion in the ears of an ignorant and long neglected peasantry. As the Primate of ARMAGII has not yet declared his final decision on this most interesting case of clerical tyranny, we trust it will so terminate as to satisfy the public that acts of gross and palpable cruelty cannot be performed with absolute impunity. At the same time, it will warn English Protestants of the reliance to be placed on the statements of Irish parsons bel lowing about persecution, and the danger of the Pro testant Church from the machinations of Papists. Let them only turn to the gre;at captain of the Orangemen, the nursling oltheqtrierarehy, and then ask themselves how could any alum' L be popular of which such men are the Main pillars "? No, no ; the Irish Church neither will nor can star ad so supported. The . whole foundation is one mass of filth, rottenness, and corruption ; and those who will first overthrow it are the Irish Parsons. MAGAZII STE DAY. NE TV MONTHL Y MAGAZINE. Mixed up with much sm artuess snd flippancy, there is considerable fancy and erterg y of description in Mr. D'lsraeli's " Infernal Mania ge." He has thrown more human interest into 'it than allegories usu ally possess. The sketch of :Elysium is capital, rising almost to the poetical. " Gil hert Gurney "is a con tinuation of a clever series of papers by Theodore Hook, in which we can pctroeive the ground-work of more than one rich farce. The dialogue portion of the story is sustained with all th e freedom and naturalness of Foote. " Don and Roth er are from the pen of the author of the " Corn l maw Rhymes," who, as a " good hater," possesses qualifications that would have endeared him to Dr. John; on. There is infinite energy in this stanza : " They love not God who do rt t hate man's foes With hatred—not like mine— • But deep as hell and blacker. 'To loathe those Who blast the hope of freedom as it blows, Is love divine.' " Revolutions of the Nineteenth Century" is a brief Parthian glance at the star ;ling vicissitudes that have taken place in the social and political world since the year 1800. The allusions to the departed glories of Carlton House are conveyed: in a graceful and feeling spirit. Mr. T. H. Bayley's stanza's " Why Don't the Men Propose ?" are in that laughing, satirical vein in which he so much excels. Why don't the men propose, mamma? Why don't the men propose ? Each seems just coming t o the point, And then away he goes ! It is no fault of yours man sma, That ev'ry body knows; You fête the finest men in. town, Yet, oh ! they won't propose ! I'm sure I've done my Lest. mamma, To make a proper maf ;eh ; For coronets and eldest :sons I'm ever on the watch : I've hopes when some di:stingue beau A glance upon me throws ; But though he'll dance, and smile, and flirt, Alas ! he won't propose ! I've tried to win by languishing And dressing like a blue ; I've Lought big books, and talk'd of them As if I'd read them through ! With hair cropp'd like a man, I've felt The heads of all the In aux ; But Spurzheim could no t touch their hearts, And oh ! they won't propose ! I threw aside the boolo:, and thought That ignorance was bliss ; I felt convinced that m m preferred A simple sort of Miss ; And so I lisp'd out naui tht beyond Plain "yeses" or plait " noes," And wore a sweet unmeaning smile ; Yet, oh ! they won't .propose ! Last night, at Lady Rai nble's rout, I heard Sir Harry Gale Exclaim, "Now I propose again ;" I started, turning pale; I really thought my time was come, I blush'd like any rose ; But oh ! I found 'twas only at Ecarte he'd propose ! And what is to be done, mamma? Oh what is to be don e? I really have no time tr. lose, For I am thirty-one: At balls I am too often. left Where spinsters sit in rows : Why won't the men propose, mamma ? Why won't the men propose ? " Recollections of the author of Waverley" have somewhat disappointed us : though every recollection, however imperfect, of this great and good man is sure to be acceptable to the public. The various scientific and mechanical matters at the end of the number are well selected and condensed. TAIT'S MAGAZINE. The English Opium Eater continues his biographi cal sketch of Coleridge in this number. The memoir is as full of anecdote as ever, but there is none so good as the " rich and rare" one about the poet's father and the lady's silk gown, which we quoted last month. The little episode about " Mary of Buttermere" scarcely needed to be repeated, for every one is familiar with it who has ever visited—and who has not ?—the Lake district, or ever read any of its numerous guide books. Mr. de Quincey, though an idolater of Coleridge's ge nius, yet is by no means blind to his eccentricities, which he dilates on in a spirit of sportive malice that betrays in every line a keen sense of the ri diculous. " George Fox and his Disciples" is an animated account of the Rise and Progress of the Society of Friends, by William Howitt, who himself is an eminent member of that influential fraternity. The article is, of course, highly panegyrical, but not unduly so. " Panurge in England" is an at tempt to revive the broad, grotesque mannerism, which is inimitable, of Rabelais. We cannot compliment the author on his success, for he has attempted a task which is above his capacity. " West Country Excur sions" is a clever, satirical sketch, in which the powers of ridicule are well applied. " The Unstamped Press in England" is a sensible business-like article. We have no space for extracts. FRASER'S MAGAZINE. Several important events have occurred within the quarter ; Don Pedro has taken to his death-bed, the Blacks have began throughout our colonies to revolt, and Mr. Fraser, bookseller, and proprietor of Regina, has been called out by a Member of Parliament. With a laudable desire to gratify curiosity, the excellent bibliopolist is determined to " rescue this last event from the oblivion to which all newspapers are des tined," by embalming it in his magazine. Certainly the joke from beginning to end is much too good to be lost—a Member of Parliament sends a challenge to a bookseller, a nobleman being the bearer of the cartel ; whereat the man of books, so far from feeling honoured by the message, flatly refuses the invitation, and ungratefully threatens to call in the police. The noble ambassador persists, " What, ho I Master Bar nadine, come out and be hanged." But Master Bar nadine has no mind to any such thing ; he protests that he is not at all entitled to the privilege or honour of going out on a cold morning to be shot at by an angry duellist. He prefers Regent street to Chalk Farm, and cares not who knows it. In vain does the bearer of the cartel expostulate ; the bibliopolist is " propositi tenax " and will not be killed to please any nobleman in Christendom ; but he will fight with the pen, if Mr. Duncombe pleases, and lend his Magazine for the battle-ground into the bargain. Thus the parties joined issue, and the a mbassador returned no wiser than he went, while the challenged threw himself under the pro tection of Mr. Dyer, the sitting magistrate at Marl borough-street. With this ends the first act of the farce. In act the second, the bibliopolist comes for ward in another character ; he lays down the laws of the duello, and rates his would-be opponent soundly for his ignorance. Next comes forward the actual writer of the article, though still under a mask, pre ceded by a grand flourish of trumpets, protesting that as a writer " he is not unknown, nor, as the immense sale of his Tory pamphlets, extracted from this Maga zine, will prove, is his influence unfelt." This may be true, for aught we know to the contrary, for the Tory taste is not particularly nice in its appetite ; but why, my good Sir, praise yourself so lustily ? Above all, why, after having coarsely abused Mr. Duncornb, now come forward with such language as this ? " So far, indeed, f rom t h e i r b e i ng any wish or intention to wound the feelings of Mr. Duncombe, the writer can unre servedly assert that no idea of the kind ever crossed his mind; and that such a result, when it was seen to have been pro duced, was to him as unexpected as it was undesired." Here we cry with Dominie, " pro.di-gious writer does more than insinuate that an individual is a profligate, a blackguard, a liar, a drunkard, and a gambler, and then denies all intention of personality. To make the matter still richer in absurdity, he goes on to justify his attack—that attack which just before he has denied—by stating— " Our justification rests in this, that we were not writing for, or addressing ourselves to, Bond-street or the Clubs, but the Tabernacle and the Dissenters." In other words, when you talk to a Dissenter, it is necessary to use the coarsest language, for he will un derstand no other. So be it. The article just noticed is the last in the Magazine, but we could not in common politeness attend to other matters before doing justice to an affair in which the bibliopolist was himself concerned. This number is both better and worse than the last—better as a whole, because it is more equal, and worse, because it has no one paper of very superior merit. The essay on the writings of Coleridge evinces an earnest affection for the poet, but, though eloquently written, we cannot say that it enlightens us much on the merits or deme rits of that extraordinary man. With all his metaphy sical anatomizing of the poet's genius, the critic lite rally teaches nothing; nor has he even attempted to tell us how it happens that with such high, acknowledged powers, Coleridge made so feeble an impression on the public. It is mere nonsense to tall; as he does of " how difficult it is for the ordinary mind to rise to the level of the extraordinary ;" to feel and comprehend the genius of a poet it is not necessary to rise to his level, or Shakspeare and Milton, instead of being the most popular, would be the most neglected of poets. It should seem that whatever subject genius handles, whether it be of a past or a present time, whether it be of earth or heaven, natural or supernatural, it yet should be in harmony with the spirit of the age ; where this secret chord is not touched, the. music, however sweet it may be, soon dies away without an echo. It is here we think—and we speak with due deference of so mighty a genius—we think that Coleridge was de ficient ; a great poet, like a good King, should be a man of the people, but Coleridge was essentially the man of a few ; nor can we indulge in the hope that he is ever likely to become more popular than he has been. The paper headed " Poetry—the modern Poets," though many of its dogmas may not be readily admitted, contains much sound and wholesome cri ticism. The following remarks are particularly de. serving of attention " Byron wrote better than others, because he felt more vio lently than others, and because his powerful imagination sup plied him with objects for his sensibility. It is this which is true poetical imagination—not the ideal invention of impossi bilities. No ! and then Byron attempted to write by the means of artifice ; but then he miserably failed. " Cowper's charm also lay in being simple and natural ; but then he wanted fire and poetical invention. He gave a fac simile of nature; he copied rather than imagined. His poems raise the gentle affections and purify the heart; an admirable merit, no doubt,' and which will always justly secure them fame. But it will scarcely be pretended that he had any de gree of the genius of Byron. " It is not in the power of him who is possessed by a spirit to choose his language or his thoughts ; he must speak what the spirit prompts, and then it is a noble spirit—he must speak well. " If there be a sort of reading more disgusting and more idle than any other, it is factitious poetry ; and ?cannot re frain from saying that the greater part of modern poetry is factitious ; it never breathes genuine impulses•; it is all affec tation, or an idle array of gaudy words : it is all dead matter, and like flowers made of paper or silk, which have no odour. Nothing is so easy as to produce compositions which have the superficial look of poetry, but which want its soul. There is a fashion of mysticality in modern writers of verses which is in very bad taste, and brings this department of literature into contempt ; it is mere trick—the mask of a black veil which any one may put on. True poetry is not a delirium—it is the energy of sound wisdom ; if it teaches us nothing, it is " the voice of a cymbal." Well, too, does the writer observe, that " Wordsworth, Southey, and Coleridge, formed a new school of poetry. They broke from all old trammels ; and, by the force of undoubted and vigorous genius, opened many new• beauties." Aye, truly did they ; and yet these are the very men against whom the leading review of the day di rected its keenest shafts, their polished and glittering points clipped in venom, while it almost deified the puny doings of Rogers. These last, forsooth, were regular ; they were all according to rule ; all modelled after Pope ; and therefore they were beautiful, an ab surdity which was echoed by Byron,—not for want of knowing better. " Chrestomathy, or, Analects and Apologues, from various sources."—No one will read this paper twice, — few, indeed, once. Amidst much that is false or trite, and more that is perfectly unintelligible, it has some few, some very few morsels that are worth remembering. The most unpardonable blunder of the whole is the writer's having twisted Jean Paul Richter's magnificent prose into indifferent rhyme, and for no better reason than because there was a " Dantesque vein pervading it." What stuff is this! he might as well translate Macbeth into iambics, because there is an /Eschylean vein pervad ing it, and the result could not be much worse. Had he done his task better—and it is far from being amiss as it is—still the terza rima would never have thoroughly conveyed the peculiar magnificence of the " Vision." There are some sorts of prose, and this is of them, that will no more bear the chains and trammels of verse, than verse will endure the being translated into prose. Had our limits permitted it, we would, in jus tice to JEAN PAUL, have re-translated his splendid dream into plain English, and have placed it side by side with this attempt to crucify him in rhyme. The criticism on the " Life and Correspondence of Mrs. Hannah More" would have been much better than it is had the subject been more worthy, or the author more fanatic. As it is, every line betrays that the writer is sinning against his own conviction. He does not praise her from any false estimate of her talents—how, indeed, should he, unless excessive bi gotry have blinded the eyes of his understanding ? his praise originates in some less obvious cause, and the consequence is, that the mere words of the text are not always in particular harmony with its spirit. The jumbling up, too, of Saurin's Sermons and Schiller's Robbers, is a sufficient evidence of the more than Irish confusion that was going on in the brain of the critic. " Signor Paganini and Ensign O'Donogbue, lark ing at Boulogne," is a very clever, impudent, droll article, that every one will read with pleasure, and no one will praise' when read. Were we called upon to colour the writer's portrait from imagination, we should paint him with a broad, brazen forehead, eyes twinkling like those of Mephistopheles, and a mouth where epicurism sate grinning triumphantly, a sort of pendant to Shakspeare's patience on a monument. If he have the slightest spice of the brogue on his tongue, he must be the most amusing companion imaginable, and, be what he may, he has talent enough to set up a score of magazines. , 4 The Songs of France" sound most pleasantly to the ear. It is an article full of fun and malice, with a singular and most miscellaneous assortment of topics that had the least right possible to expect such a meet ing—Saul and Doctor Bowring, Regent-street and the Boulevards, Goldsmith and Pindar—(notPeterPindar), Blondell and Tyrtous, Tom Moore, and Joan of Am. Of a truth this goodly company must marvel not a little at being thus brought together, as much so as the two poles m i g ht d o if, on so me fine summer morning, they were to find themselves close neighbours, instead of maintaining the opposite extremities of the globe.
