COWPER. he Author of these Poems has beer) too modest in the choice of his motto, as tie posses ses among the . - essential ingredients in the coin position of a P oe t, imagination and sensibility. Nature planted i n hi m the seeds of l'oeU, and they have aris e n i n p leasinq, and, we hope, pro fitable flowers and fruits. There is no gaudy embellishment in his productions. They seem to result from, gentline-feelin l , and are characteriz ed in general by an. int,l e,ting simplicity: his Sonnets, which amount to thirty, though not rigidly correct to the-Italian structure, as follow ed by MILTON, and the - Bards of the present day who adopt that interesting Spkies .of Poesy, do not deviate much from the original, and indeed -approachso - nearly to it as to give them fair pre-, :tensions to the none. CHARLOTTE Shtirti's Sonnets as 'they are styled, though marked by talents and tenderness_are not, in fact, to be con sidered strictly as Sonnets, but in ,geneial as three stanzas, of four lines each, closed with a couplet. Mr. RicitAnosos, it appears, wrote many of his Poems in India, an d hi s f ancy seems to have bee n touched by the fervour of the climate,. yet not so - as to betray him into the extravagant flights of the Oriental Muse. He not only dis. plays the talents of a Poet, but in many, indeed most, of his compositions proves that he feels strongly as the friend, the parent, the patriot, and the moralist. It is impossible to read this little volume without sympathizing with the feel ings of the author. We may say that in all his more pathetic effusions his Muse " Can o'er the cheek of Sorrow throw " A melancholy grace." We have not at present room for an extract, but we shall Oct an early opportunity of recurring to the work, and give, such a Specimen of the Author's talents as we doubt not will excite the sympathyas well a9-deserve the approbation of our Readers.

RAPHAEL of the late President'e historical, paintings to Government, as A purchase of British materials for the NATIO:6I2. GALLERY) is twofold ; first for the purchase of the late President's pic tures, and second, for the lippropriation of an annual :am by Parliament, to be expended in eiring commissions to British Historical Paintete, tbr historical pictures on a grand scale for the National Gallery, and as an embellishment for such public buildings as' be sel ec t e d b y t h e w i s d om o f a Corn , m - ittee appointed by the House of Commons, and sanctiond by his Majesty. There would hare been no necessity for this, or for any such application, if the only prop e r tide of the rornere see. LI of history painting had not been closed against th e entrance and exertions of British Genius, for two hund re d an d e i g h ty years by the power of the State, which, in the first instance, was em ployed to crush the Fine Arts, in the tim e of. EL/ZABETII and Ebwaep VI. The application for a remedy is, therefore, on public as well as personal grounds, made to the State. In consequence of the exclusion of paintings from Churches and public buildings, there being neither a public necessity nor a ' private demand, for historical pictures in the:PUBLIC STYLE, - the paternal efforts of hi s l ate and present Majesty, tire ex ertions of the Royal Academy and British Institution - have hitherto failed to create any other field far the cultivation of the pubii: style, anti have also, failed to 'difliase a taste 'in this country for the PUBLIC STYLE, although during the last and present century, the British artists have Carried every branch - of the DOMESTIC STYLE, in which they were * liberally mean. raged, to the higheit degree of excellence. v the - high authority of the Committee on the Elgin Marbles, and of the Committee of the British Institution, that it is only by a splendid patronage of the PUBLIC STYLE that the British Esnpire can hope ever to vie with the.artists of ancient Greece, and with Italy in the golden days o f L eo ; or to emp l oy paint ing as a moral instrum ent and means of national glory. At present, it i s a M e l ancholy fact, that .the young artists, who, on the formation of th e B rit i sh Institution, came CritiltlSi astically forward, and d evoted their time, talents, and the fu ture hope of their lives, to the study of Historical Painting, have been, with perhaps only one or two exceptions, obliged some time since, gradually to abandon History Painting upon a grand scale, and to betake theineelves to designing for . thetooke sellers, or to Paintin g . w h atever was in demand; fur - the ornament of private mansions. Certainly,eif we set is School of Artists to contend with the Carver, Gilder, and Upholsterer, great triumph over the Artists of we cannot hope for any very ancient - Greece, or of the golden era of the Arts in Italy; from was the noble object, when the their victory. To vie with, not merely to imitate,. " the great Artists of the renotined ages," preliminary letter in 1805 "their British Institution with a truly national spirit, pointed out to the British Artists, in their , in subsequent publications.' If the exclusion of pit-hires from Churches and publichuild ings had not produced an atte-historical spirit in this country, and extinguished all public necessity and demand for the-pub— lic style of history painting, by which British Genius was de prived of all patronage in that high department, there would have been no necessity for founding that patriotic Associetion, -called ". The British Institution, to ask thatprofresfonal .taxi, and talent, and national patronage be no longer contincil to IN OBJECTS ;. but that our Artieei ybe encouraged -to direct their attention to higher ensi cloth e , attainments, to paint the -mind and passions of man, and to illostratethe G ItF.AT. EVEN - TS which have been cecorded in history." (Page 0 :1, Pro. ceedings of the British Institution, 1305.) Th e very formation• of this high-mindedpublie Body,proved to the world the existenee twerAy yearsewhen not of the' Anti-historical and .Anti-British Spirit, which. they pleiged thetnselvss to counteract and conque r as far as they . haze power !

The first petition was from the inhabitants of the town of New castle-under-Lyme, in the county of StaffOrd ; and the second :was from the Protestant Dissenters of Camberwell-grove Cha.e . . pel.—Both the petitions were read, and ordered to lievpori the" table of the House. The Earl of LIVERPOOL (to whom a bun - dle of petitions, were handed the moinent he entered the House) said, that he had several petitions on the subjeet of those just .presented by his Noble and Learned Friend, which, having' been entrirsted to him personally, he considered it to be his:duty to present to . the House. As far as we could catch (he . names of the greater part of the petitions, they were froth the 'Minister' and Elders of the . parish of Gla.serow ; from the parish of St. Janics, Glasgow ;- from the . Gardeners of filanow ; from the . Weavers-of Glas gow ; from the Tailo r s o f Glasgow ; from the. Presbytery of Glasgow . ; .from the Earbet - s - of. Glasgow ; from. the Maltsters' of Glasgow; from PollochShaws, near Glasgow; from Kirlt patrick; and from Stirling. The Earl Of . LAUDERDALE said, he really wished to know, if the Noble Earl-opposite, -for whoni he felt a very high esteem, was quite assured as to the names and topography of some of the places from whence the petitions purported to have come. For instance, the petition from POlhickshaW sounded rather new to him, though he did not mean to assert there was actually no such place. But i .at all events, he had heard of no great meetings on the subjict of C a th o li c Clain-is. in ScOtland and, therefore, these Petitions ought to be received - with some caution by that Rouse. - • The Earl of LIVERPOOL could only . say, in reply to th e Noble Lord, that lie had received the petitions . with letters from the parties, requesting that he would present them to their Lord. ships. He then presented siniihir petitions froM the Borough of Calton,-and the town of Ramsgate. Lord ROLLE presentedseveral petitions 'so the same effect, among which, were those of the inhabitants of the parish .of St. Mar K, Exeter,.and the towns of . Bideford and lloniturt, _ vons ire. . Lord KlNG—There is a counter petition to one of those. Lord ROL LE.—From the Sociniana,'l suppose. Lord KING.—/ don't know• whether it is front th e ,S oc i n i atis or not, but' the petitions have a rightttr approach_ this.Hpuse. and, at any rate, their language is quite as serisild i as that con tained in the petitions presemcd by the Noble Lord. • 'The Earl of LIVE I :POOL..- I really 'hope, that the Noble Lord (King) will consider the propriety of abstainingfrom such remarks as he has lately been in the habit of -making on these occasions. For one speech ofit is, there are sure to be six peti. tions laid- upon the table of this House. .• - Lord HOLLA ND.,--If that be the ease., my Lords, and I urn not disposed to doubt the Noble Earl's assertiOn, - I cannot conceive 'Why he wishes my Noble Friend (Lord King) net to speak.- (•A laugh.) Lord ROLLE they presented a petition of the same cbarac terfrom the inhabitants of Ashburton, in Devonshire. - "He added that the petition he had presented from Honiton Win signed by from 400 to 500 persons of respectability . , and would. more than counterbalance the counter petition which the Noble Lord (King) had hinted at.

The of of the petitioners was to. pray against the concession of those rights, which ought to be enjoyed in common-with all British subjects. So far, therefore, he difDred with them; fOr as to the question of purity of faith, whether it, were tObe rcided bere;'Or • hereafter, he had not the slightest doubt. *The Right Rev; Prelate then presented another petition to the sane effect, from the Achdeaconry of Sudbury, in the diocese- of NOrwich. len i g i° th rd , 'suchCA L t ' e r m i - I p O ei ß a r e li p ; a sa iti i o d n , ,, that i li t e he wls le g r l iz a ) d o t i o ; .t e l e e , Eli a . ; tat - Ai:died' Church as at present.
