SUTCIDEhyaYOUTHof EIGHTEEN YEARS Yesterday afternoon an Inquest was held on the body of Thomas Vaughan, aged eighteen, who shot himself, at his fatl 's bnuap, 9.. (teat Wari_stro.t. Mr. Ralph Watson was a harness-maku, and resided at No. 138, Long-acre. The deceased lived with him as an errand-boy. He was about eighteen years of age. Wit ness knew nothing of any females resident in Phmix alley, nor did he know a female named Amelia. The deceased seemed partial to the servant, but he was not aware that he had met with any disappointment. Witness had not heard of any charge relative to Phoenix-alley. The deceased had, of late, appeared more inattentive than for merly, and he had given him warning to leave. This, however, was a fortnight previous. Charles Crickmead deposed to having seen the deceased and some yotnig women together, and of having advised him (under the impression that they were loose characters) .to forbear keeping their company. Four letters, which the deceased had written shortly before he committed suicide, were here produced. The first was literally as follows: "My dear Father and Mother—By the time you receive this i shall Be no more for i have the pistol by My side it is not bad company that Brought me to this the reason i stoped out A nights i went to se a girl home every Night never mind it is all over now give My love to all my friends and relations and to Mr. and Mrs. Wriggers and mary i hope you will let charlott follow me to the grave i am in nocent of what was said about Phoenix Alley i have to thank crickmay for that for he is my foe but i forgive him it is our duty so to doe dear Mother i hope you will not for my dicing words let chariot follow Me to the grave i should rite more but my heart is so full so no more dear Mother from your unfortenat sun Thomas Vaughan good by God bless you all for ever. " c My cheeks like roses fade away My bodys mingled with the clay.' " Another letter was to the following effect : " My dear Elizabeth—By the time you receive this let ter i shall be no more for i have the pistol by my side. But i hope God will forgive me. I have sent you a lock of my hair for i have not any thing better to give you. I hope God will protect you. Give my kind love to your sister. I should write more but my hart is too full. So no more dear Elizabeth from your unfortunate lover Thomas Vaughan. Good by God bless you." This letter inclosed a lock of hair, and was ornamented with the words Elizabeth Orlando, written like the falling folds of a window curtain. One to a young female, whom he addressed as " Dear Amelia," was concluded in similar terms; and the other to the maid-servant of his master, Mr. Watson, was as follows :—. " MY DEAR FRIEND-With a trembling hand I write this letter ; it is not bad company that has brought me to this violent end; the reason is, I stopped out. I went out every evening with a young woman ; but never mind, it is all ever now. Keep this pocket-book ; I have no thing more to give you. Never mind; every one has his fault. So no more—Good bye, good bye,:God bless you." After the reading of the letters, the young women al luded to were called forward ; but there appeared nothing in their conduct that could call for remark. The g e neral impression of the Jury was, that the idea of his having lost his situation, and the jokes of his companions, had affected his mind so considerably, that he had resolved on self-destruction. The Jury then viewed the body ; and returned a ver dict, " That the deceased destroyed himself in a fit of In sanity.'' ABDUCTION.— On Thursday the 29th ult., an armed party entered the house of MARTIN HACKETT, a publican, residing near the chapel of Kuockavilla, and for cibly carried off his sister, a young woman about seventeen years of age. Having been detained by these fellows in a place o f s ecurity, till the following Sunday night, during which time she met with neither injury or ill-treatment, and her intended cora sposo, having in the mean time, changed his mind, she was permitted to return home in virgin innocence.— Tipperary Free Press. BRUTAL ASSAULT AND ROBBERY.—One of those poor creatures from the county Kerry, who travel through the country during the potatoe-digging season, in search of employment, was attacked on Thursday night, somewhere, we under s tand, in the neighbourhood of Port law, within a few miles of this city, and robbed of a few shillings, a portion of his earnings. In order to bemire the remaining part of the produce of his season's labour, about 305- which, perhaps, constituted his all in this world, be held it firmly g rasped in his hand—the unfeeling villains who assailed him, after repeated efforts to wrest this miser able sum from him, knocked him down, however, he still retained a fast hold ; they then deliberately took a large knife and cut his fingers across in so dreadful a manner, as to sever them almost completely from hie hand.-- Water ford Chronicle. SWAIN'S METRICAL ESSANS LONDON 1527. We never remember a period so replete with re spectable poetry, so utterly destitute of first-rate genius, as the present. There are whole shoals of the small fry now afloat on the surface of English literature, but not one Leviathan among them all. Byron is dead; Campbell has turned editor and critic; Wordsworth is fast asleep on the banks of Rydal Mere; Southey has devoted himself to prose ; Millman has hung up the harp of Jerusalem on the willows ; the borough 'and parish officers are materially improved, so Crabbe has nothing left to carp at ; Moore has (incurably we fear) wedded himself to politics; Rogers has be come a punster; Montgomery a sectarian; Cole ridge an opium eater; Wilson a professor of politi cal economy; Barry Cornwall an attorney; and last, not least, Hogg, a sheep doctor. In place of this glittering galaxy, we are indulged with Mrs. ileroaas! 4ilfess and feeble elegance; Miss Landon's impassioned but unformed and monotonous feeling; Mr. Bernard Barton's drawling insipidity; Allan Cueningham's vigorous, but rough and incurable Scotticisms ; Mr. Planche's Vauxhall melodies; Miss Mitford's limited and prosaic prettiness ; Delta's dulness; Neele's common-places, together with a whole host of twinkling luminaries, all more or less to be commended, but none impregnated with that " mens divinior," which stamps the true poet. The very elements of inspiration seem extinct. Like summer streams, they have run their brief course and are dried up. We meet with no writer, now a-days, who reminds us, however remotely, of the " beacon lights" of other times—no poetic Prome theus has yet thought it worth his while to steal fire from the sun of Spenser, Shak speare, Milton, Dryden, or Pope ; the genius of modern rhyme runs like a mill-horse, the same small hacknied and unvaried round : one wit borrows from another (his or her cotemporary within a few months), or, if a more aspiring candidate goes as far back as Wordsworth for a model, he claims merit on the score of a profound and studious originality. Viewing the subject in this light—a view not hastily, though it may be incorrectly formed—there is now, we think, a really grand opening for a poet. The public mind has been so long dosed with opiates, that it will leap at the bare idea of a re storative. This restorative, however, to be success ful, must be unadulterated. Moreover, it must be administered with a firm but temperate hand, and, above all, be adapted to the wants of the inwalid.— The late Mr. Shelley, from neglect of this last cau tion, has consigned himself to eternal oblivion. He was a sort of poetic Abernethy; skilful but rough in his profession, and utterly regardless of the squeamish nerves of his readers. He thought to shock them into health ; whereas he only confirmed their disease. A .;udicious candidate for the laurel will act otherwise ; he will not fly to eccentricity for reputation ; but will boldly enter the same arena in which the noted wrestlers of the Elizabethan and Au gustan-schools have combated with such seems before hims Though far from undervaluing imagina tion, 'he will remember that it is "but part and par cel" of the poet—that it must have something to work on, and that this something is common sense. Our most enduring idols in the temple of fame are Dees-41 1 y theses ieeeeer r sd *b e& a1 , 3.;`-i% on their julgment. This (after all . that may be urged respecting his wild, lawless, and capricious fancy) is the secret of Shakspeare's celebrity—and above all the chief claim of Dryden on posterity. It is from his deficiencies in this respect that Lee, the dramatist, slumbers unheeded on the shelves of the mere scholar or the antiquary. He was a writer of powerful genius, but wanted discretion ; he never knew when to stop ; he threw the bridle on the neck of his imagination, and has consequently been hurried off the broad highway of fame into the cross roads of obscurity. In the present sophisticated age nature alone will never constitute the poet, his mind must be fashioned an I licked into shape by art; he must read and reflect, compare and combine, (still exercising the imaginative faculties), and then only will his exertions be crowned with success. Where is there a steadier luminary than Pope; one more familiar to our minds—more mixed up with our recollections—more engrained into the very spi rit of our conversation ? He is in poetry what Burke is in politics, the subject of perpetual refer ence, yet assuredly his genius was not born with him; it was an after-birth, the result of varied thought, sound experience, and extensive study. We have hazarded these cursory remarks, for the purpose of doing away with a popular, and, in our humble opinion, an unfounded notion that the poet is created, not made. A predisposing bias may certainly be received from nature, but art must give it " mark and likelihood." In the hands of the first it is mere dross ; the other stamps it current coin. The most valuable portion of English poetry, is that which appeals to the reason and the education of its readers. Abstract his fine acquaint ance with the Greek Lyrics from Gray; his know ledge of life from Pope ; his classical and Italian lore from Milton; his universal acquirements from Dryden, (which so aptly point his raorals and adorn his tales ;) his own rambling personal experience from Shakspeare, (we are indebted for this to Drake); and you will leave their works, like the dry bones in the valley of Jehoran, mere shapeless, lifeless—though it may be, majestic fragments. Even Satan himself owes much to Dante, and Falstaff has taken a hint from Panurge. Against this—perhaps presumptuous dogma—Burns, and the earlier English writers, may be instanced. But if these were great by nature, we see no reason (arguing from the generality) why they should not have been improved by art. The mind that could prove so beautifully that " Man was made to mourn,'? and guys such thrilling effect to the few Highland legends, with which it was by accident acquainted; what might it not. have achieved, had its romance been cultivated like Scott's, or its ethics enlarged like Pope's ? Education,- as Mr. Brougham well ob served the other day, is far from trammelling or eai feebling, it has merely an assuaging influence on genius; it prunes, without destroying its luxuriances, and perfects the poet as truly as the orator, the artist, - , or the actor. Mr. Swain's " Metrical Essays,—a talented and unassuming volume, has seduced us into these pre liminaries. We recognise in this young writer a mind, not over-gifted perhaps l y nature, but manifestly improved by art ; and one that, to a moderate extent, bears out the justice of our remarks. Mr. Swain has formed his style on the purest models; it is expressive, yet devoid of affectation; eloquent, but not redundant, and illus trates natural thoughts in an easy natural manner. There is no canting lamentations over past pleasures —no egotism—no hypochondriasm— no affected scorn of the world,' . to be met with in his pages; he looks on man with the healthy eye of a lover of his kind, and can even turn to a sim-set without drivelling over his declining prospects. The earlier portions of his vo lume consist chiefly of small poetic " Essays from His tory and Imagination ;" in which Plutarch, and some few of the Spanish Romancers, are recalled pleasingly and vividly to our minds. Where, however, the writer, instead of speaking for others, has given vent to his own feelings, he is, we think, more suc cessful, chiefly because his mi n d is more at ease in its arm chair. Throughout his volume we trace a pensive moral train of thought, which needs but EVENING. The moon upon the cloudless heaven moved slow, The pale flowers gather'd up their leaves to sleep; In silence lay the lonely vale below, In silence spread the venerable deep : The ancient mountains dreant'd in loneliness, A languor eeeni'd even in the moonlight iay, The fresh clear stream, that gurgled thitiNt• the day, Now passed in calm and holy quietness: The last light from the cottage casement fled, The late bird's wings lay folded in sweet rest, The Spirit of the Evening all things blest, Bird, flower, vale, mountain, and the cotter's bed ! Gradually yielding to the night's mild sway, As music on the seas, faint, fading, far away ! The line in the last poem, which we have marked in Italics, happily characterises that dull leaden and languid look which mountain scenery so often as sumes on a still sombre evening. In the sonnet en titled " Time," the author assumes a higher flight : he is not indeed very profound in his meditations, nevertheless—as Gilbert Walmesley said of Johnson —he has " good stuff about him," and gives hints of greatness, which, with time and attention, will no doubt expand into something destined to survive its age : TIME. On speeds the dark sepulchral flow of Time, Its depths unsearchable as the vast sea, Its goal—the harbour of eternity ! The stormloss beauty of a heavenly clime What know the neighbouring shores of its career ? I hear a voice, as of the trumpet's breath, Replying "All we know of Time—is death ! But we have trust in God, and do not fear." What feel the buried dead of its high power ? A voice comes answering from the charnel-land— " Man ! seek not thou the doom Time may command, That will thy God show in his own good hour !" Then time, unaw'd I mark thy fatal roll, Thou bast no power o'er the immortal soul! The poem on the old mariner, who was born, and still hopes to die, on the ocean, who " reverences each wave on its vast breast," and to whom its mysteries are, as Wordsworth so eloquently writes of Nature— " An appetite, a feeling, and a love, That have no need of a remoter charm, By thought supplied, or any interest Unborrowed from the eye," is fraught with natural feeling, and expressed with a fineness of tact, the result of a skilful and cultivat ed mind. Judging from his volume generally, we should say Mr. Swain wanted only a greater depth of thought to insure him unqualified success. He has sufficient fancy and flow of words : we recom mend him, therefore, by way of wind-up, to read Milton and Wordsworth with attention : the one will sustain and acvalle—tblit other, discipline, without at all narrowing the poweri'of his imagina tion. TIME'S TELESCOPE. LONDON: 1828. The events of the past—we should say passing— year are all faithfully recorded in this little volume; which binds up amusement with instruction : prose with poetry; ethics with piety, in one comprehen sive digest. It is pleasant to have the 'lapses of time marked in so sunny amanner, with just enough reflection to lend interest and importance to the past, and more than enough to furnish forth a useful ho mily for the future. HALL'S NEW GENERAL ATLAS. The second number of this Elegant Woik, con taining the Maps of Prussia, Sweden, and the West Indies, appeared last week, and fully justifies our opinion of the first number. The Maps are engraved in a style of great simplicity, while the colouring is delicate, but correct. This Atlas, if conducted with the same spirit, intelligence, and care, promises to supply a great desideratum in Geographical know ledge. The general objection to periodical publica tions, in a science like the present, which is always liable to change, either from the progress of disco very or the alteration of boundary,is happily removed in this work, as will be seen by the following paragraph : For the perfect satisfaction of the Subscribers to this NEW ATLAS, every Map will not only include all diseo veries and changes to the day of its publication, but further, should any discovery or change of sufficient importance take place during the publication of the work, corrected dupli cates of such Maps as shall on this account become imper fect, will be given gratis in the last number, so that the entire work may possess a perfectness on its completion which is without precedent. PUBLIC CHARACTERS of the PRESENT TIME, with PORTRAITS, and BIOGRAPHICAL and CHARACTERISTIC SKETCHES.—Nus. I. 11. 111. This is not only a cheap, but a very useful and w ell-conducted little work—the plates alone are worth the price of the whole, and there are four of them for a shilling! It gives a bird's eye view of the public character of individuals rendered illustrious by their talents or rank. As Biography is con fessedly the most interesting species of reading, we think that the youthful mind will find the present work a desirable introduction to works of more de tail and extended interest. It is comprehensive and well-designed,and posse ses liberality sufficient to preserve it from the besetting sin of biographical works—idolatrous veneration for the hero, without considering that no man, however good, is perfect. Our biographers, from amiable motives no doubt, are too fond of painting up " A faultless monster, which the world ne'er saw." THE LONDON MEDICAL GAZETTE. The first number of a new work, under the above title has just appeared, and judging from its con. tents it bids fair to ensure public attention —more especially that portion whose studies are exclusively devoted to medical pursuits. The manner in which the several articles are treated is gentlemanly and discriminating, with enough of the scientific to satisfy the practical man without offending the gene ral reader for information by unnecessary obscurity. We are pleased to perceive by the preface, that the Editor intends to steer clear of that system of abuse and ridicule upon which similar publications have unfortunately depended more for temporary support than upon original merit and candid criticism. Works of general utility should appeal to public patronage by the merit of their endeavours, rather than by the novelty of their plan : what is good can be duly appreciated, without being accompanied by unne cessary censure upon the conduct of those who had, perhaps, done their best to attain that very object which the critic professed to have so much at heart ; find indulgent censo rs . We recommend the present good endeavours, th oug h u navailing, should always work to the Prof ess i on , as one likely to improve thi judgment and extend the knowledge of a science it which all are intifestati: feelings or offending pmgiii:bdt;ondiynenieciaitiboathooftvheys . ins . is an extract •-• • . , lines,uin T , 1 wee groat a h ai i s i h t r e li g d r r u e e e:e T :d hA Latchtear!"

The heart adhered to the pericardium at its apex, ferming a zlark-eoloured tumour, connected with th2left vcntridc, and in reality was a trite aneurism. The wells of this sac appeared to consist of the pericardium and serous membrane cf the heart glued together, And containing layers of bbl n, while the mus cular fibres of the ventricle considerably attenuated,- were partially extended over the tumour. The size of the aneurism was about that of a small egg ; it had displaced the point of the left ventricle, which was thus thrown a little forward. The origin of this pathological condition of the heart, whitla was not suspected during his last ill ness, may perhaps Wily be dated front the following oc currence related by Vane& family. Sonic years ago, after great exertion in playb; the character of Hamlet, he suddenly felt a sensation of burning heat in the region of the heart, and an une:siness which lasted she or two days, but Which did not attract any serious at tention. From this time he frequently suffered from pal pitation, particularly after professional exertions. It is probable, that in' a mind like Talutes, ps.ssion:t, though artificially excited by the cunning. of the sce.z... - 3 the intense and absorbing manner in which he entered into the character he represented, may have produced the same effect upon his frame, as moral impressions, front external causes, are wont to do on others; thus assimilating in their effects the real and imaginary in the miseries of life. It is probable, too, that had this great tragedian not laboured under the obstruction which proved fatal, he would have expired in one of those tempests-A.pession which held the spectators in dreadful admiration, and thus (to borrow the enthusiastic language of his c ountrymen) he would have died au milieu de la gloire !
