Mr. Louis Blanc's " History of Ten Years," dating from the last French Revolution of 1830, forms the is a brief biographical sketch, accompanied by an estimate of the character of these three eminent in dividuals. The article is lightly and pleasantly hit off, is sound in criticism, and abundantly seasoned with anecdote. " A Few Pages from my Journal" is a diary of Mr. Fynes Clinton's recent travels in Greece, of whose gradual improvement he speaks in most encouraging terms. The " Philosophy of De lusion" is a smart, ingenious, desultory paper, by a writer who quaintly signs himself " An Irish Whiskey-drinker." " Baron Von Pfaffenburg" is a very so-so affair. IVre subjoin an account of a dog show from the " Philosophy of London Life " A friend of ours is a dog-fancier, and we accom panied him one evening to, of all things in the world, a dog-show. We had heard of agricultural shows, horti cultural shows, tulip shows, dahlia shows, and fifty other shows ; but we never dreamt of a dog-show. However, there it was, on a printed paper, pulled by our friend out of his waistcoat pocket, in black and white, with a long list of presidents, vice presidents, secretaries, treasurer, committee-men, judges, conditions, prizes, and so forth. On entering the show-room, whose proximity was audi bly made known to us by the reiterated barking of the competitors, and the howling which followed the applica tion of the whips of their owners, we could hardly avoid laughing, not less at the assembled bipeds who crowded the room, than at their quadrupedal friends upon the table. One old gentleman, with a white waistcoat and black silk smalls, relieved by a huge bunch of gold seals de pending from the most prominent part of his person, held a pug under esch arm, whilst he criticised the points of a remarkably beautiful little terrier then upon the table. A tall, thin, sickly-looking man, who, as I was imformed, was a peer of the realm, was busily engaged in discussing the comparative beauties of a black and tan, and a red and white spaniel of the King Charles's breed, who, to do them no less than jus tice, appeared to enter completely into the spirit of the thing, and growled, and barked, and flashed fire at each other from their large, round, antelope, eyes, "with all the apparent jealousy of two contending beauties at an assize ball. Running about our feet were all sorts and sizes of the canine race ; bloodhounds, Irish grey hounds, terriers, wiry and short-haired, silky-legged spaniels, but not a cur of low degree ; all had their pe digrees, and well-attested certificates approved their ho nourable birth. " Notwithstanding the ludicrous nature (to us, at least), of the exhibition, not a muscle, either of the dogs or their generous protectors, was discomposed! all was conducted in a business-like English manner, with true John Bullish gravity and decorum; nor, when a very fat man, with a red carbunclated nose, uncovering a quart pot, which he had hitherto concealed with a silk hand , kerchief, placed it on the table with a little stunted dog peering out, was there a single countenance in the room irresistibly disposed to laughter, save our own. The little stunted dog himself, to all appearance a puppy of three weeks old, but who was, in fact, arrived at the respect able age of two years, having recovered his liberty, scrambled over the hedge of the quart-pot, and with great gravity waddled round the table, paying his re spects as he went to other little stunted dogs, who, how ever, not being quite so 'stunted as himself, appeared to regard him with no great cordiality. " Of the extraordinary force of the sporting passsion among even the working, or business classes of London, we may take as an illustration the revelations of Mr. Basil, in evidence before the Commissioners of Bank s far as I know, none of his relations, who are people of good property, ever came to Sweden. Had not the King adhered so firmly to this principle, a great number of Frenchmen dissatisfied with the government of the elder branch of the house of Bourbon, would gradually have found their way to Sweden to importune their former general with applications for appointments, the granting of which would have been mortifying to the Swedes. " Though the King, as I have already observed, gene rally lay long abed, he was attentive to his health, rarely rode on horseback, scarcely ever went 'A.-hunting, and in general exposed himself to as little fatigue as possible, still he could upon occasion, in spite of his age, endure more than even the younger of his attendants liked to encounter. In great manoeuvres, I have seen the King for several successive days, passing eight or ten hours on horseback, and distinguished by his noble military bear ing, and the great simplicity of his dress, among the brilliant uniforms of his numerous staff. Ms frequent journeys to Norway were often performed with the ut most celerity, in winter, in the most intense oold, and on roads, which at that season are not always the best. " I shall here introduce one trait from Bernadotte's life, which does him great honour, and attests as well his integrity as his powers of persuasion, and the influence which lie always exercised upon those around him. At the breaking out of the revolution in 1789, Bernadotte had recently been appointed sergeant by his captain. This captain, a native of the same province as himself, and who wished him well, had often reproved him for his fondness for the revolutionary ideas which were gradu ally gaining ground, assuring him that they could not lead to any good ; and declaring that he was une man vaise tete,' and, in spite of his superior education and acquirements, he would come to nothing. When the troubles actually commenced, and order and discipline were banished from the army, several regiments deposed their officers, - or refused to obey them, and elected others out of their own midst. The regiment to which Berna dotte belonged followed this example, arrested its colo nel and its officers, and unanimously chose Sergeant Ber nadotte for its commander. subject of a critical notice in the present number of Alaga. The criticism, as might be expected from the Cory politics of Blackwood, is of a most severe and searching character, and accuses Mr. Blanc of being no better than a downright anarchist. This opinion is certainly anything but a just one. The historian —who, we may add, by the way, is a popular French journalist—is opposed to the system of policy at pre sent prevailing in France, and is by no means vio lently enamoured of the principles of the bourgeoisie, but he is no advocate of anarchy and confusion, and is merely desirous that Louis Philippe should adhere ionscientiously to his pledges, and carry out into practice the principles which he professed when raised to the throne of the barricades. In fact, so far as we can gather from an attentive perusal of his history, which is penned in an eloquent and animated style, AL Blanc maintains the same opinions which were maintained by the late Armand Carroll, who, though BY the SPECIAL AUTHORISATION of the AUSTRIAN GOVERNMENT, and under the Direction •f the Imperial Authorities, irrevocably on the 12th of October, 1844, will take place, The SALE, by SHARES, of ESTATES, STOCKS, and BONDS, besides the CASINO at BADEN, with the GRAND HOTEL a la VILLE de VIENNE, estimated at ONE MILLION TWO HUNDRED THOUSAND FRANCS, The pleasant country seat of Adolphshithe, near Prague, with two castles, grounds, gardens, &c.

A " Night on the Banks of the renesiee" is a spirited American sketch, evidently . . the production of a writer who is familiar with the Localities and characters which he pourtrays. The Execution of Montrose" is a passable national ballad, in which we think we can detect here and there an imi tation of Macaulay's manner in his Legends of Ancient Rome. " National History of Man" is a grave and complicated theme too‘ much se, perhaps, for the pages of a magazine—treated in a dull, prolix style. In "Poems by Coventry Patmon" Christopher North wields the crutch with a vigour and heartiness that seem proof against the infirmities of Ige. His criticism is, in truth, a most truculent one, And in some respects is not undeserved, for not a few of the extracts quoted by the Reviewer teem with sillinesses and affectations that would be unpardonable even in a school-boy. " It is no Fiction" is a painful story, turning upon madness, and supposed to be re lated by a lunatic. The " Burns' Festival" is a de scription of this recent holiday-making on the banks of the Doon, in honour of the memory of the poet whose genius has immortalised that stream. " Mar ston, or the Memoirs of a Statesman" improves in in terest es it proceeds. In the chapters before us we have a glowing description of a war debate in the House of Commons, where Pitt, Fox, and Burke are the chief speakers. The manner of each of these illustrious orators is pourtrayed with much exactness —that of Fox especially, who is painted to the life, just as we find him represented in the pages of Wraxall, and other contemporary memoir-writers. We prefer quoting, however, a sketch of the depar ture of the Guards for Holland on that memorable expedition which the Duke of York commanded, and which was attended with such insignificant results : " All now was excitement and activity. The intelli gence of the French advance into the territories of our ,Ad and very helpless ally, awoke England at once. The feeble and perfectly fruitless negotiations, by which the slide from disgust into war is generally managed, had produced their effect ; and France, furious for its prey, and England, steady and stubborn, for the first time were brought face to face. The summons, so long wished for, at length reached us ; and the Guards were ordered for embarkation. We received it in the spirit of a jubilee. All had been prepared. And on the night before our anal parade, I received my appointment to a company. Our parade, next morning, was one which I believe was never forgotten by any individual who had the good for tune to witness it. Of all the striking ceremonials which I have ever seen, it was the most striking. The King had given notice of his intention to be present , an d bid us farewell. At six o'clock, the three regiments were drawn up in front of the Horse-Guards, a body of three thousand men, and finer-looking troops never bore arms. All the avenues to the Park were crowded with the mul titude. Exactly at the half-hour, a rush of the people towards the parade, showed that the King, always punc tual, was at hand. Ile came, surround:d by general afficers, with the Prince of Wales, then a most chivalric figure, in the uniform of his regiment of Light Dragoons, and the Duke of York, as a field-marshal. The enthu siasm of the troops could not be restrained, as this bril iant staff approached the line ; and three cheers were riven with all the zeal of honest loyalty. „There are imes when tears are the only substitute for speech ; and Lhe King, one of the most kind-hearted of men, visibly hed tears at this reception. Another cortege now ap proached ; they were the carriages of the Queen and Princesses. The scene now became almost painful There was many a tear from royal and noble eyes—the impulse of high emotion, not of sorrow —or, if tinged with the thoughts which always shade the name of war, yet undegraded by weakness. The multitude caught the feeling ; the shouts subsided ; and all was weeping and waving of handkerchiefs. The King, put an end to this embarrassing sympathy. He rode forward, and, taking his station in the centre, gave the word to ' march.' He was answered by one gallant from the line, re peated by the thousands and tens of thousands who now moved before and around us. Our bands struck up, and, with the Monarch and his sons at our head, and the Queen and Princesses following in their equipages, we marched through streets, crowded to the roof, echoing with acclamations, and wishing us all good fortune as we passed along, until we left the mighty metropolis behind. Even then, it was only to meet the new multitude of the country. The road to Greenwich, whore si'ejvcre to cm• bark, exhibited a population a s countless, 'enthusiast ic, and full of good wishes as those with whom we had just parted. The King still rode in our front ; flags, ban ners, and every kin of joyous testimonial met our e y es ; and if ever there was a triumph before the victory , it wa s in that honest and generous di s play of the true heart of England. The emb ar k at i on t oo k pl a ce within a few hours ; and on that ni g h t wo s l ep t on the element which Britain has so long made her field of battle. The wea ther was serene, and we f u lly en joyed the freshness of the air, and the bright ness o f t h e v i ew a s we rounded the coast. At the mouth of the Thames, we had met a strong squadron of the line of battle, appointed for our convoy, and bringing numerous transports with troops. Our fleet had now becom e exte nsive, and as we moved out from the land, the sight became continually more ani mated and exciting. Th e di spatc h o f the look-out fri gates, the constant c h ange o f signals, the firing of guns to regulate the sailing of the grea t convoy, the ma noeuvres of those fl oat i ng castles, t h e seven ty-fours and three-deckers, the h armony o f t h e i r b an d s as they passed us, rushing along under a cloud of canvas, with the hum of the thousands on board—all formed one of the most heart-stirring combinations that could exist to the eye, or even to the heart of a human being. I stood gazing from the poop of our transport the entire day ; and even when twilight came, there was but a change of interest and beauty. We moved on a moving multitude—a frag.

" Having accepted this new dignity, he assembled the regiment and thanked his comrades for their confidence, of which, he said, he felt and would prove himself worthy. " Above all,' he thus concluded his speech, I must impress it upon you, that without discipline no military body can subsist, and if I am to command you, and to operate efficiently for your welfare, you must promise me absolute, implicit obedience.' " ' That we will,' cried the men, with one voice. " ' It follows of course then,' resumed the sergeant-co lonel, ' that whoever does not instantly obey my orders, shall be punished according to the laws of war. Do you swear this ?' " We swear it !' responded the soldiers, " Bernadotte immediately took a company—the one to which he belonged, and on which he could reckon impli citly—put himself at its head, led it to the prison, and brought out the officers, with whom he proceeded to the front of the still assembled regiment. " Soldiers,' said he, taking the hand of the colonel, you have, of your own accord, conferred on me the command over you, and sworn obedience to me : I now command you to recognise again your former colonel and officers. Let us not disgrace a good cause by rebel lion and disorder. My command is at an end—l resign it to our. former chief.' " The latter, however, had seen too much, and was too well informed of what was going on in Paris, and throughout all France, to accept the proffered command again. lie declined it, and with most of the officers quitted the regiment, of which Bernadotte then assumed the command."

Basil stated that he was a bide and skin mer chant in Leadenhall-market.

He was a married man, and had had two wives ; he was the father of six children—indeed he was a grandfather." NEW MONTHLY MAGAZINE. We have here another record of " Conversations with the late Mr. Beckford," but the record is of little public interest, consisting chiefly of slight, sketchy criticisms on the Fine Arts, remarkable neither for vigour nor ingenuity. The author of " Vathek" scarcely deserved the literary celebrity he acquired, and which continued unimpaired up to the close of his long life ; for, though clever and accom plished—as hundreds of English gentlemen are of whom we hear nothing—he was decidedly not a man of genius, and his far-famed Arabian romance is chiefly worthy of note from the early age at which it was written. It exhibits the fancy and animal spirits of boyhood, but is common-place in point of construc tion, feeble in the delineation of character, and in its descriptions evinces more of exaggeration than of graphic energy. Moreover, it is too much an ech o of the Arabian Nights, and its incidents are constantly reminding us of the marvels related by that queen of story-tellers, the Princess Scheherazade. The "Miners" is a narrative of deep tragic interest, and illustrates the injurious and demoralising tendency of the old combination laws. Its chief defect is that the characters are all of a repulsive order; the heroine, in particular—the deliberate assassin of her husband—is a personage with whose sufferings it is impossible to sympathise. In the " Robertses on their Travels," we find one or two animated scenes, touched off with Mrs. Trollope's usual breadth and coarseness. " Lights and Shades" are the recollections of a veteran officer on half-pay. They are replete with bustle and variety, but are by no means scrupulous in their adherence to probability. "Confessions of an Italian Innkeeper," though professing to be founded on fact, have, we suspect, much more to do with romance than reality. Many of the incidents refer to the ex ploits of the brigands of the Abruzzi—a trite theme, which has long since lost the gloss of novelty. " Social Piracy" is a lively satirical narrative, in which the lash is deservedly applied to that very nu merous class of individuals who are constantly spung ing on their friends for dinners, invitations, &c., and, in fact, prey on them with the voracity of sharks. These human leeches may be found in all great towns and cities, and are the pests of the social circle in which they move. The " Non missura cutem nisi plena cruoris hirudo," of which Horace speaks, is an exact description of their character. " Society for the Encouragement of Hearts" is a graceful little essay, penned in a kindly and catholic spirit, and in the fanciful tone of its speculations not unlike Sir Thomas Browne. We have been much pleased with the following remark :—" There is no crevice so nar row that good will not ooze through it, and gather and augment slowly, until it can force its way by degrees, and flow in a full broad stream. Once set good going, and who can say where it will stop." From the " Reminiscences of the late King of Sweden" — one of the best of those numerous military adven turers who issued out of the school of- the Revolution —we quote an entertaining-anecdote or two : " Bernadotte's way of living was extremely simple. To his established habit of temperance he owed the astonish ing conservation of his person and his robust health. Very often, indeed generally, he passed great part of the forenoon in bed, where, however, from eight o'clock, he gave audience and transacted business. About two, he generally rode out in fine weather, and frequently re paired to his favourite retreat, the elegant little palace of Rosendal, built by himself in the park, and tastefully fitted up and furnished, where he sometimes dined. lie rarely visited the table of the Queen, who regularly dined-with the gentlemen and ladies in attendance on her. In general, the King dined in company with only two or three men, courtiers of distinction, high officers of state, scholars, foreigners, and other interesting persons, with whom he wished to converse. lie seldom went to the theatre, chiefly because he was not sufficiently conversant with the Swelish language. The last hours of the day he spent either in writing, or in the family circle. " With pleasure and with just pride, the thoughts of Charles John dwelt upon his earlier career, and he fre quently spoke with fondness of the time when he held the very lowest military rank. Lorsque j'etais sergeant,' or ' A cette epoque je venais d'etre nomre‘ offieier '—were expressions which I have often heard him use. He had an astonishing memory for old comr ades and acquain tance, and when I was first introduced to h im, I had to give him all the information I could concerning a great number of his old companion s in arms. On many of them, who fell into distress, he conferred substantial fa vours, but he adopted the re prudent solution,.not tp er mit any of them to come to Sweden. On this point he has been so consistent that he had about him but a single Frenchman, his foster-brother, General Camps, and that BENTLE by `'---, Y'S 2IIISCELLANY. " Physiology of London Life,' whlinchMfro.rMmusrrtabye's most attractive feature in this there are some amusing reflec tionsmonth's Miscellany, newspapers, and the great and which they exercise over the fmasitn.ai a suggested communityEiesatged influence at powe large. Justly remarks the writer, " the moral rofthe public press in this country is not the less so? erushes the bud many a pro mising absolute from being un acknowledged. ' What will more in o e r le n s e s 7 h sp e a ld pe i r n s check by job. The knave, the swindler, er the profligate, and the debauchee are all we do so and by a salutary fear of seeing themselves reported in the newspapers. If the ambition of one half the world is to keep out of the newspapers, the account Ps fairly balanced by the desperate efforts of the other half to get in. In fact, all people who court publicity through these, the great dispensers of it in our day, work upon the newspaper's blind side ; they wish the paper to have no eye for anything but their claims, their a bilities, and their virtues." Within the last twenty or thirty years the I influence of the ress has been all but omnipotent. t was the p ress p that carried the Reform Bill, and brought about that state of public feeling which bled the • - enabled strike the fetters off the limbs of the Catholics and the Dissenters.

The " Gaol Chaplain" contains an impressive tale, illustrative of the demoralising effects of the game-laws, of which the writer thus speaks :—" These laws are bringing about a state of oppression and tyranny on the one hand, and of re sistance and crime on the other, which would dis grace a land inhabited wholly by heathens. Poachers are hunted down by landowners and their game , keepers as keenly and fiercely as the early settlers in America hunted down the natives. The upshot is the scaffold and the hangman, the drop and the noose, the dying s t ru ggle, and the death shriek. And all this for what? A partridge or a pheasant!

[ADVERTISEMENT.] THE LATE TRIAL OF BELANEY FOR THE MURDER OF HIS WIFE. - - - TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR, —Having observed a long article in the Times of last Saturday, on the above subject, we beg to sug gest to you and your readers, that that most useful kind of knowledge (medical jurisprudence) by which doctors and other scientific persons are enabled to state the properties of poison to juries, as in the case of Belaney, is totally distinct, and has no reference whatever to the origin or cause of disease, and its treatment—for instance, telling a jury that the knife, as in the case of Dalmas, was drawn in a particular way across the throat, and that it could not have been so drawn by the deceased herself, is undoubtedly most useful for the purposes of justice ; but such know ledge has nothing whatever to do with the cause or cure of any disease, nor does it bear the least analogy to it In our opinion, poisons, or anti-medicinal prepara tions, should be prohibited by law ; they can never tend to the cure of any disease ; they only serve to mystify the otherwise simple science of medicine. We are, Sir, your obedient servants. MORISON, MOAT, & Co. For, and on behalf of the body of HygeiA3. British College of Health, New-road, London, August 31, 1844. TAIT'S MAGAZINE. In his political article this month, entitled a "Re trospect of the Session," Tait observes :—" We take leave of the session of 1844 with the pleasing persua sion that it has rendered, in a left-handed way, a fair contribution of useful service to the popular cause. It has been to the Ministry one of retribution—to the people one of instruction and preparation. It has greatly weakened party ties, and damaged the prestige of high party names." This last remark is true to the letter. The effect of the session just passed has indeed been to weaken " party ties," by demonstrating the folly and inconsistency of party, and its utter inability to legislate in a comprehensive, national spirit. llence forth neither Whigs nor Tories will exercise much influence over the public mind, which has at length become fairly weary of the assumption and hollowness of both factions. 'The " Burns' Festival" is an ac count, somewhat overcharged, of the late gathering on the banks of the Doon of the admirers of this truly national poet. The details are spirited and cir cumstantial, but we could have wished that the writer had dwelt less upon the faults of Burns, for, from all we can gather from his numerous biogra phers, they were by no means of a flagrant character, but were such as ought to have been forgotten long since. Poor Burns never committed a fault half so grievous as that which his own countrymen com mitted when they left him to die in all but absolute penury, neglected and broken-hearted. " Our Hearth and Homestead" is a clever domestic sketch from the pen of Mr. Mills, a writer whose sporting sketches are fully equal to those of the late Nimrod. " Life of Lord Chancellor Eldon" is an impartial notice of Mr. Twiss's recently-published Memoirs of this over rated statesman. From the " Feast cf the Poets" we quote some pleating stanzas, entitled the " Beautiful and True : The Beautiful and True, dear love, The Beautiful and True, Oft they meet to part, but yet They never say, Adieu ! The stars, how gloriously they greet ! But then, as morn comes on, Heaven's pavement to their glittering feet, Is echoeless and lone. Brightly they dance away, but still Such partings yield no pain ; For ne'er they bid adieu, until They 've sworn to meet again, Th.= love, They 've sworn to meet again ! I saw two birds, like Faith on wings, Meet o'er the waters blue ; 0 they could part like hopeful things, Nor breathe a last adieu. I saw a warrior, armed for fight, Quit his lady fond and true, But their lips first held a meeting bright, And thus they bade adieu ! I saw two ships part company, O'er the ocean's sparkling foam, And the " Outward Bound" sang a song of glee, And the " Homeward," a song of home, Dear love, And the " Homeward," a song of home ! O Minnie, thy words may breathe, "Farewell !" But thy voice hath a binding thrill, Whose latest sound shall wreathe a spell To keep thee present still. The touch of thy hand when kind and fond, And thy smile, and thy waving hair, And thy soft deep eyes, with their hopes beyond The gloom of each passing care, Shall haunt me still, and when thou art gone I will live in a dream of thee, And with thee will rove when the night comes on, Through the grove to our trysting tree, Dear love, Through the grove to our trysting tree. FRASER'S MAGAZINE. The proceedings of the late Session of Parliament, especially as regards the Church, seem to have be wildered Fraser as much as they would have be wildered Lord Eldon, had that stiff old ultra-Tory been alive to witness them. "Poor Mother Church," says our disheartened monthly Contemporary, "is going sadly to the wall! It is the doctrine of modern Conservatism to keep her down. We wo'nt destroy her. Oh, no ! But we will do all that we can to prevent her from exercising any more the supremacy which used in former times to belong to her. We quite expect to see, ere another year passes over us, an accredited . Minister from the Court of St..James's to that of St. . Peter at Rome ; and it will be no object of surprise to us to find two Established Churches, or possibly no Established Church at all, recognised in Ireland. And all will have been the work of a Con servative Government r" Really the Conservatives are a most unlucky set of people, for they appear to please nobody. The Whigs distrust t Tories all but repudiate them—and the Radicals hold them in utter abhorrence for their halting and evasive course of policy. Well, we are not sorry for • the frequent rebuffs they meet with, even from their former friends, for they have done their best to deserve them by their want of principle, and the spaniel-like submissiveness which they have exhibited towards their task-master, on whom, the more he has lashed them, the more they have fawned. " Campbelliana" is a collection of personal reminiscences of the author of the " Pleasures of Hope." These reminiscences are not penned in the most friendly spirit, but leave an impression on the mind that the subject of them was a cold, reserved, waspish creature, deficient alike in candour, bonhommie, and liberality . Of his first g reat poem? on " Hope," we are told that " the four teen opening lines were the last that were written," and that the work was sold to an Edinburgh book seller for the insignific an t sum of twenty pounds ! Soon after its publication Campbell came to London, and for a short time r ece ived two guineas a week for contributingciironiele ; occasional p in 1806 he had o a pension e m s to f th l e s4l. Morning granted to him out o f the Scotch Excise, o which aheyen joyed to the day of his death. Immediately on the receipt of this pension he took up his residence at , S 3 denham, where he compiled, says his tylogyhesrr, - ----,,i, "Annals of Great Britain from the A.cessioti-.44,31:' Gorge the Third to the Peace of Airtiens.: - Feiw ~, . ., e ,,- __, have heard of this work, fewer seen it, airtsl:itill.4, 4 4,11-'.:,;* 4 i 4.3 read it.

The " Suniassie" is an . Eastern story, common-place in incident, and by no - - means remarkable for ease or vivacity of manner. " Concerning Dog-stealing" is a feeble attempt at the facetious suggested by the report of the Parliamentary ~ Committee on this subject. The following " Vision - - of Hoar Frost" may perhaps amuse our readers : I raid, " Oh! time of frost and rain, No charm thou wear'st for me ; Nought, till summer comes again, Is beautiful to see! The snow, albeit without a stain, . . Dims the visions of my brain, And brings me thoughts funereal, When it lieth. like a pall, Veiling earth's sweet, friendly face, And a mournful silence fills Every familiar place ; And the hollows of the hills, Where the streams in summer-tide Like happy living creatures glide, Are still, and cold, and vuiceless now, • Save when dreary tempests blow With a fitful icy breath, Souading far, yet sad as death! " Why is Autumn called most sad? He is like a king In a robe of triumph clad, Gayer than the Spring! In his woods the trees are (light With a splendour rich and bright, From their boughs there fall in showers Leaves of warmer hue than flowers. Down upon the earth they fall, Frequent drops of living gold, Like some fountain magical In Arabian groves of old, Dropping with a pleasant sound Where the grass was sun-embrown'd. The winds that herald him breathe low, An'l wake new glories as they go; Merrily the brooklets leap, And the streams are wide and deep. " But in days of frost and snow, . When the streams are still, And the woods no longer glow, And the air is chill, I could weep for all the gloom, Like a mourner at a tomb. Earth's heart grieveth like my own For the gladness that is flown. Dreary season, saddest time, Gloomy days of storm and rain. Binding even song's glad chime With a weary, leaden chain ! When I hear of lands far hence, Where the summer's influence Burneth through the livelong year, I could weep that I am here, And my inmost heart is stirr'd, Piling like a captive bird." Thus my fretful spirit said Only yesterday ; Now those darker thoughts are dead, Now my heart is gay ! Oh, the pomp mine eyes have seen ! Oh, the glory that hath been I Every branch and every spray Wore a radiant garb to-day; Nut its veil of summer green, And yet as beautiful a dress, White, and dazzling in its sheen, • Wondrous it; its loveliness ; And the sunbeams, gliding through Knotted oak and beechen bough, Made the upland's woody height Seem a region of delight ; The very silence made it seem Less like truth than some fair dream ! THE TRINITY HOUSE. T 6 THE EDITOR OF THE SUN. SIR,—I am glad to find, from a recent article in The Sun, that the local imposts upon British shipping have begun to attract your attention. The returns just ordered by her Majesty's Government of the amount of harbour dues, and other local charges levied in the ports of the United Kingdom, is certainly one step in the right direction. But this step must be accompanied by a stringent inquiry into the " doings" of that irresponsible body of monopolists which somewhat irreverently continues to style itself the " Guild Fraternity or Brotherhood of the most glorious and undivided Trinity." I transmit to you a copy of the reprint of an ar ticle on the " Trinity House," which appeared in the last Number of the Westminster Review. The abuses which that article exposes are these 1. The unreasonableness of the rates at the present time; 2. The illegality and injustice of the appropriation of so large a portion of the surplus tolls to the soi disant " charitable purposes" of the Corporation ; 3. The rotten borough system under which the corporators of the aforesaid guild or fraternity are elected ; 4. The scientific incompetency of the acting Tri nity Board ; 5. The extravagant expenditure for the services of the Central Board of Management; , 6. The illegality of the system of electing Cabinet Ministers as honorary Elder Brethren : a mere shabby subserviency to the "powers that be," and directly opposed to a clause in the 7th and Bth Wil. 111., c. 21, which clause expressly forbids the election of civilians to the office of Elder Brothers of the tri nity House The report of the Committee on Lighthouses in 1834, is an enduring monument of the diligence and perseverance of Mr. Hume. But there ought td be another Parliamentary investigation, and I am glad to see that Mr. Hume has given notice of a motion to that effect next session. If Mr. Hume perseveres in his motion, the Government can scarcely refuse a Committee, and then, it is to be hoped, that the Augean stable on Tower-hill will at last undergo a thorough purification. The shipowners ought to feel grateful for the able manner in which you have advocated the reduction of those local charges which now press with peculiar severity ; and on th!s account I have preferred trust ing to your impartiality to give an insertion to my letter, rather than address myself to the evening jour nal, which, although professedly established as the advocate f the British shipowner, is so curiously unhappy in its endeavours, as almost to deserve the reproach cast upon an Athenian orator, of whom it was said, " Those whom he charges with being wolves he takes care not to bite, and the sheep, which he professes to guard, he is the very first to devour." I have the honour to be, Sir, your most obedient servant, CHRIS. RICHARDSON.- Field House, Whitby, Aug. 27, 1844. A FISII WORTH CAPTURING.--The Bay of Luce Wigtownshire, whether from depth of water or other wise, has long been famed for the superiority of its flounders. Fresh water locks and rivers furnish different kinds of trout ; and it is the same in the open sea, as regards the distinctions between genera and species. In Luce Bay there is a variety of flat fish, alike large and tempting to the palate—say from five to six or more pounds, rivalling in delicacy the finest sole. Still thatis no thing, compared to what we are about to relate on conipe tent authority—the testimony of Mr. J. Irvine, taekarnan of the Balcarry fishery, kindly forwarded to us by onr antiquarian friend, Mr. Train, of Castle Douglas , On Monday, the 19th, the precise date of our last publica tion, a fish was caught in the beautiful bay named above, of the flounder species, which measured from head to tail four feet three inches ; in breadth twenty-two inches from the tip of the one fin to the other ; and in depth of chest or body six inches, and weighing .511bs I Mr. Soon, innkeeper, Auchencairn, not only saw the fish weighetand measured, but he partook of a portion of it, which he, in common with others, considered excellent. Of the facts of this case there can be no doubt, and the only difficulty con sists in accurate scientific classification. On consulting must either have been a specimen of rst!eliejetbweondnth:ctilr Baron Cuvier's " Animal Kingdom," the highest authority on such a subject, we have arrived at the conclusion that the marine stranger &scribed b waters,ee genus,rxi the sui c:haiteMediterranean, cutting attains tritrtiannhg t ae o adu g great o e s s oto t ri e s aae i r z ne e r oapm a nr n et d ovuri sow; previously l g fyi h nt t hpoe i r u n e se as, but of which there are smaller species in y which is also shaped and finned like a flounder. Pre amination to some individual curious in natural history. Since the above was written, we have received from Glenluce five flounders, which together weighed 191b5.--.. Dumfries Courier.
