Matriculated Member of the University of Edin burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member of the London Hospital Medical Society, Sze. . _ This work contains an accurate and complete account of the Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It ma ortunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi •ian for relief. Shame and the dread so frequently, but erro neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of art, alike restrict him and prevent his seeking 'or assistance where alone it can bo procured. Dr. LA 'MERT has taken tho highest medical honours, as his alplomas testify, and the great extent of his practice for many years is a guarantee for his professional experi ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these liseases. - Published by the Author, and may be had of J.

It Is a melancholy fact that thousands are suffering the privation of health, and are ultimately brought to a premature death by a cause so prevalent as that of worms in the human body. The common symptoms are disagreeable odour of the breath, fe vered tongue, heaviness or languid bluish appearance about the eyes, swelling and paleness of the lips, frequent itching of the nose, appe tite irregular, and the bowels also, pale and emaciated countenance, and, at other times, the face will be flushed, griping pains, a short dry cough, great thirst, vomiting, starting during sleep, and grinding of the teeth. Youth or age may with the utmost safety have re cenrse to this old-established medicine.

ON PHYSICAL DISQUALIFICATIONS, GENERATIVE INCA PACITY, AND 13/IL'EDIMENTS TO MARRIAGE. THE EARL of CARLISLE at LEEDS. (From the Chronicle.) LEEDS, FRIDAY.—Last night the Earl of Carlisle de livered the first of the two lectures which he had pro mised to the Mechanics' Institute here. •It was at first intended that the lectures should be delivered in the hall of the institute, a room capable of containing 200 or 300 persons; but it was soon found that the applications for admission were sufficient to fill a room of more than three times the size. Admission was strictly confined to the members, with the exception of some ladies and a few guests whom the directors had invited to meet his Lord ship. But the qualification of membership presented scarcely any obstacle to the impatient desires of the people. The entrance of members into the institute has been more numerous than at any former period, and se veral instances occurred of gentlemen coming from places thirty or forty miles distant to attend, and on being in formed that none but members could be admitted, they cheerfully paid the 15s. which is required as entrance-fee. Hence it occurred that the Music-hall, which is capable perhaps of affording standing room to about 1,000 or 1,500 persons, was selected; and even this the largest public room in Leeds, was inadequate to meet the demand, and several bona fide members of the society were of neces sity excluded. The proprietary members with their ladies - were placed in the orchestra, from the front of which the Noble Lord read his lecture. A space imme diately in front was railed off for ladies, and beyond that the space, as well as a small gallery at the other end, was occupied by the subscribers to the institution. The doors were to be opesed at half-past seven, but to prevent inconvenience ladies were admitted to their seats by seven o'clock. At that hour Albion-street, where the Music-hall is situated, presented an animated ap pearance; each door of the hail being surrounded by a dense crowd, who seemed to wait with impatience, though with tolerable order, the hour of admission. When that time came the pressure was for a moment fearful. The gentlemen had seen a number of ladies pass in before them, and there was a general apprehen sion that the place was already filled, and that none but a very few more could be admitted. Hence every one fought and struggled as if it depended upon his being first whether he was to have admission at all. Once settled in the interior, however, and finding their mis take as to the accommodation, the tumult completely subsided, and the audience waited with the greatest pa tience and good humour till eight o'clock, when his Lordship made his appearance on the platform, accom panied by Mr. Beckett, M.P.; Mr. J. G. Marshall, M.P.; Mr. Goodman, Mayor of Leeds; the Dean of Ripen; Mr. Baines, of the Leeds Mercury, President of the West Riding Union Mechanics' Institution; Mr. Wilson, President of the Leeds Mechanics' Institute, and several members of the committee. Among the la lies there were present his Lordship's sister, Lady Mary Howard, the Misses Beckett, &c. His LORDSHIP'S appearance was the signal for a burst of rapturous cheering, waving of hats and handkerchiefs, and every other demonstration of enthusiasm. When it subsided, he said—Ladies and gentleman, I thank you for the welcome you have given me on my first ap pearance in the character of a lecturer.—(Cheers and laughter.) As lam anxious in all respects to conform to that cnaracter, I shall begin at once to read my lec ture. his Lordship then read as follows, which occu pied about two hours in the delivery, during which time the densely crowded audience, though they mnst have been sorely discommoded, manifested no other symp tom than that of the deepest attention, alternating with bursts of enthusiastic applause. After a few in troductory remarks, the lecturer proceeded thus—lt has seemed to me for a very long time, I should say from about the period of my own early youth, that the cha racter and reputation of Pope, as a poet, had sunk, in general contemporary estimation, considerably below their previous and their proper level. I felt ruffled at this, as an injustice to as author whom my childhood had been taught to admire, and whom the verdict my ma turer reason approved. I lamented this, because I thought that the extent of this depreciation o❑ the one side, and of the preferences which it necessarily produced on the other, must have a tendency to mislead the pub lie taste, and to misdirect the powers of our rising minstrels. I allow myself the satisfaction of thinking that there are already manifest some symptoms of that reaction, which, whenever real merit or essential truth are concerned, will always ensue upon unmerited de pression. I remember, too, that it gave me quite a re freshing sensation to find, during my travels in the United States of America, that among some of the most literary and cultivated portions of that great community (although I would not more implicitly trust to Young America than I would to Young England upon this point), the reverence for Pope still partook largely of the A Nrew and Improved Edition, enlarged to 196 pages, price 2s. 6d. - by pos ,of t direct from the Establishment, 3s. 6d. in postage stamps, sounder original faith of the Parent land.

I fancy that some might with to make a further reserve for the gentle fancy of Spenser, tholigh the obsolete cha racter of much of his phraseology, and the tediousness inseparable from all forms of sustained allegory, must, I apprehend, in these days, very considerably contract the number of his readers. Nay, I can quite allow for the preference being given to Pope's 'more immediate pre decessor, Dry" den, whose compositions, though assuredly less finished and complete, undoubtedly exhibit a more nervous vein of argumentative power, and a greater variety of musical Thy thm. When I have mentioned these august name,, I have mentioned all, writing in the English tongue, who in my humble apprehension, can possibly be classed before Pope. I may observe that in this estimate I appear to be confirmed by the pre sent Commissioners of the Fine Arts, who in selecting the poets from whose works subjects for six vacant spaces in thealew Palace of Westminster were to be executed by living artists, named Chaucer (who by his antiquity as well as his merits was properly appointed to lead the line of English bards), Shakspere, Spenser, Milton, Dryden, and Pope. Though I conceive, and you will readily concur, that the case I am endeavouring to make gobd must be mainly established by my client's own precise words—and the anticipated pleasure of sleeting thebe to attentive ears has been, perhaps, my chief induce ment to undertake he office which I am now fulfilling— yet I consider it will not be out of place for the object I have in viewe especially before an audience of a nation which much delights in, and is indeed much ruled by, precedent, if I should quote a few approved authorities (had time permitted I might haie availed myself of a great number), merely for the purpose of showing that if you should be pleased to side with the in this issue, we shell find ourselves in companylof which tve shall have no need to be ashamed. I shall also thuesfierei s h a proof of what I have stated above, that I am not straining after ori ginality or novelty of remark; indeed, I feel that I shall make way in proportion as the testimony I adduce proceeds from lips more trustworthy than my own. (His Lord ship here quoted a number of laudatory passages from Savage, Warton, Dr. Johnson, Mason, Bolingbroke, Lord Byron, &c.) There is another and more general testimony to the reputation at least, if not to the actual merits, of Pope, which may be here mentioned ; this is, the extent to which his lines are quoted as familiar maxims and illustrations of the :daily incidents of life, and the common meanings of men, quoted often pro bably by persons who have little knowledge or recol lection where the words are to be found. I am inclined to believe that, in this respect, and it is one not to be considered slightingly, he would be found to occupy the second place, next, of course, to the universal Shak spere himself. Allow me to cite a few instances. When there has been a pleasant party of people, either:in a convivial or intellectual view—l wish we might think it of our meeting this evening—(Cheers)--we say that it has been— " The feast of reason, and the flow of soul." How often are we warned—l have sometimes even heard the warning addressed to mechanics' institutes—that— " A little learning is a dangerous thing." How often reminded, " An honest man's the noblest work of God." —(Cheers) Or, with nearly the same meaning, " Who taught the useful science, to be good." There is a couplet which I ought to carry in my own recollection— " What can ennoble sots, or slaves, or cowards P Alas! not all the blood of all the Howards." (Laughter and cheers.) It is an aptj illustrationtof the offices of hospitality, " Welcome the coming, speed the going guest." How familiar is the instruction, " To look through Nature up to Nature's God." As rules with reference to composition, " The last and greatest art—the art to blot." " To snatch a grace beyond the reach of art." And then as to the best mode of convoying the in struction— " Men must be taught as if you taught them not." There is the celebrated definition of wit— " True wit is nature to advantage dressed; What oft was thought, but ne'er so well expressed." Do you want to illustrate the importance of early edu cation? You observe— " Just as the twig is bent, the tree's inclined." Do you wish to characterise ambition somewhat favour ably. You call it, " The glorious fault of angels and of gods." Or describing a great conqueror, " A mighty hunter, and his prey was man." Do you seek the safest rule for architecture or gar dening, _ _ " Consult the genius of the place in all ;" Or, with exquisite good sense, " 'Tis use alone that sanctities expense, And splendour borrows all her rays from sense." (Cheers.) Are you tempted to say anything rather severe to your wife or daughter, when she insists on a party of pleasure, or an expensive dress, you tell her, " That every woman is at heart a rake." (A laugh.) And,then if you wish to excuse your own submission, you plead— " If to her share some female errors fall, Look on her face, and you'll forget them all." (Cheers and laughter.) How oaten are we inclined to echo the truth— " That fools rush in where angels fear to tread." And this too— " That gentle dulness ever loves a joke." Who bas not felt this to be true: " Hope springs eternal in the human breast ; Man never is, but always to be blest?" When an orator, or a Parliamentary candidate, in which last capacity I have often appeared before some of you — (Much cheering)—wishes to rail at absolute governments, he talks of " The monstrous faith of many made for one." Then there are two maxims, one in politics and one in religion, which have both been extensively found fault with, but the very amount of censure proves what alone I am now attempting to establish, not the truth or justice of Pope's words, but their great vogue and cur rency— "For forms of government let fools contest; Whate'er is best administered is best. For modes of faith let graceless zealots fight : His can't be wrong whose life is in the right." It is now time to judge Pope from his own works, by which, of course, his place in the estimate of posterity must finally stand. I shall pass hurriedly by his earlier compositions. He tells us himself of the precocity of his genius— " I lisped in numbers, for the numbers came." But his very youthful p ro d uct i ons, on the whole, appear to me more remarkable f or t h o i r dates than theirin trinsic merits. He wrote his Pastorals at sixteen. In dependently of the age at which they they appear to me trivial, forced, outof were g itt w e il t the ey English soil and life to which they are by way of being assigned. One piece of praise is justly their due: after the publication of these verses by youth, we may call him har m a o n b i o o y us of E s n ix g t l e is e h n, became matter of rule and h have bean written. Mr. Macaulay says on this point, " From thetime when the Pastorals appeared, heroic versifica tion written; and what is more,velrsde Inn not d l lion before see vawerh3a.gaafirl ragged haveorbeienn- In the short poem of the Messiah, long, all artists were on a level." It was surely better that this level should be one upon which the reader could travel smoothly along, without jolts or stumbles. I do justice to the stately glow of verse upon the highest of human themes. Both Dr. Johnson and Dr. Warton give it a decided preference over the Pollio of Virgil, which is conceived with topics of close and wonderful similarity. Ido not know how far they are right, but I feel quite sure that both the Pollio of Virgil and the Messiah of Pope fall immeasurably below the prose translation of Isaiah in our Bibles.—(Hear, hear.) Windsor Forest appears to be on the whole a cold production. It contains some good lines on the poet Earl of Surrey— " Matchless his pen, victorious was his lance, An extremely pretty account of the Bold in the lists, and graceful in the dance." of a pheasant, a very poetical list of the tributaries of the flight and plumage Thames, and some well-sounding verses on the Peace of Utrecht, then recently conclude& from which, in the early part of this year, I was induced to quote some lines which I thought very apposite to the proposed Exhibition of the Industry of all Nations, at London, in 1851 : " The time shall come, when free as seas or wind, Unbounded Thames Shall flow for all mankind, cernvepr:ss:wanBdu: Whole nations enter with each swelling tide, And seas but join the regions they divide; Earth's distant ends our glories shall behold, And the new world launch forth to meet the old." (Loud cheers.) The odes written by Popo are de cidedly of an inferior cast. I need not say how inferior to the immortal " Ode on St. Cec ilia's Day," by Dryden, who preceded, or how inferior to Gray or Campbell, who have followed him. The ode, perhaps, of every species of poetical composition, was the most alien to the genius of Pope ; its character is m ra e p t t h , oda vehement, abrupt; hmenist, abrupt; his is composed, polished, haunt would not be the mountain-top or the foam ing cataract, but the smooth parterre and the gilded saloon. You may prefer one bent of mind as you would one form of scenery ; the question with which I now invite you to deal is, not in what style Pope wrote, but in the style which he chose, and for which his nature best fitted him, how far he excelled. Among the very youthful productions of Pope there were also some adaptations from Chaucer, Ovid, and one or two more ancient authors; in point of execution they are only distinguished by their smooth versification, and the matter of them ought to have forbidden the attempt. In speaking as I have done of many of Pope's earlier compositions, however I may assume myself to be a de voted admirer—partisan, if you should so please to term it—l conceive that I have at least shown that hitherto I am no indiscriminate praiser, who thinks that every thing which proceeds from his favourite must be perfect. (Hear, hear.) On the contrary, though his facility in writing verses was almost precocious, the compete mastery of his art seems to have been gradually and laboriously developed. "So regular my rage," was the description which he has himself applied to his own poetry. It was not so much " the pomp and prodigality of heaven," which have been allotted to a few; it was rather in the edifice of song which he has reared, that nicety of detail, and that completeness of finish, where every stroke of the hammer tells, and every nail holds its exact place.

BLUNT, Fellow of St. John's College, Cambridge. The Twelfth Edition, Corrected, forming part of the Family Library. The Reformation is one of the most remarkable events in our history, whether considered in relation to politics or religion ; for its influence was most powerful upon both. The reading, profession, and taste of the author have led him to regard it in the latter rather than in the former light : and therefore, brief as the sketch is, it will not be found of the nature of an abridgment of larger historie , , but a continuous though succinct account of its rise, progress, and consummation, chiefly considered as a great revolution of the Church of England. William Tegg and Co., 85, Queen-street, Cheapside. was one way in which he might excel any of his prede comers, which was by correctness, for, though he had before him several great poets. he could boast of none that were perfectly correct. Pope justified the advice, and if correctness is not the highest praise to which a poet can aspire, it is no mean distinction to show how an author can be almost faultlessly correct, and almost us invariably the reverse of all that is tame, mean, or flat. There come, however, among compositions which in any on'else would most strictly be called early, a tew which will not bear to be dismissed with such a hasty or superficial notice. The" Essay on Criticism" was written when he was twenty or twenty-one years old, and as such it appears a positive marvel. But he had now entered a field on which he was quite a master— the domain of good sense and of good taste, applied to the current literature of a scholar, and the common topics of life. Very soon after, however, as if to show that if be had willed it he could have exercised as full a mastery over the region of light, fancy, and sportive imagery as of sober reflection and practical wisdom, he wrote what is termed a heroic-comic poem, the Rape of the Lack. Dr. Johnson calls this the most exquisite example of ludicrous poetry, though I do not think the word ludicrous a happy epithet of the Doctor's; Dr. Warton calls it the best satire extant, and we are told that Pope himself considered the intermixture of the machinery of the sylphs with the action of the story, as the most successful exertion of his art. As my business to-night is more with Pope on the whole as a poet, than with the details and the conduct of his single poems, I must not suffer myself to linger on the details of this delicious work. It is so finished and nicely fitted together that it would scarcely answer to separate any isolated passages from the context; be sides, exquisite as the entire poem is, yet the subject being professedly trivial, any single extract might ap pear deficient in importance and dignity. The whole is as sparkling as the jewelled cross upon the bosom of the heroine— - " On her white breast a sparkling cross she bore, Which Jews might kiss, and Infidels adore." It is as stimulating as the pinch of snuff he so com pactly describes— " The pungent grains of tittilating dust."—(Laughter.) But there was one other chord of the poetic lyre which Pope, still young in years, had yet to show his power to strike, and it is the most thrilling in the whole compass of song—the poetry of the passions and the heart. To this class I assign the Elegy to the Memory of an Un fortunate Lady, and the ever-memorable Epistle from Eloisa to Abelard. A few words will suffice hero for the Elegy; its moral tendency cannot be defended, as it appears, incidentally at least, to excuse and consecrate suicide. In its execution it combines in a high degree poetic diction with pathetic feeling. I must pause longer on the Epistle from Eloisa to Abelard. I ought, however, before I give vent to the full glow of panegyric to make two admissions; one, that a sensitive delicacy would have avoided the subject; the other, that the mat ter is not original, but is supplied in great degree by the actual letters of the distinguished and unfortunate pair who gave their names to the epistle. Where the adap tion, however, is so consummate, this makes a very slight deduction from the merit of the author. The poem is not long, but in point of execution, it appears to me ono of the most faultless of human compositions; every thought is passion, and every line is music. The struggle between aspiring piety and forbidden love forms its basis, and the scenery and accessories of monastic life, and the Roman Catholic ritual furnish a back-ground highly congenial, solemn, and picturesque. I must endeavour to justify my panegyric by a few quotations. [Here follows some well-drawn passages.] It would be a strange omission in an estimate of the poetical achievements of Popo to make no mention of his translation of Homer, though the fact of its being a translation, and its length, would rather put it beyond the limits of my present criticism. Dr. Johnson calls his Illiad, and I am inclined to believe with no more than perfect truth, the noblest version of poetry which the world has ever seen. The main objection alleged against it is, that being a professed translation of Homer it is not Homeric.—(Hear, hear.) That it is full of grace and sparkle, but misses the unmatched simplicity and majesty of that great father of verse—(Hear, hear); —that, if I may so express myself, it has not the twang of Homer. All this, I think, must be admitted; by some the poems of Sir Walter Scott, and old ballads like Chevy Chase, have been thought to convey a better notion of this Homeric twang than can be gathered from all the po lished couplets of Pope. Cowper—an honoured name— tried a more literal version in blank verse, which cer tainly may be said to represent more closely at least the simplicity of the original. Let us, however, come to the practical test—as Lord Byron has asked concerning these two translations, " Who can ever read Cowper, and who will ever lay down Pope, except for the origi nal? As a child I first read Pope's Homer with a rap ture which no subsequent work could ever afford; and children are not the worst judges of their own language." It is no mere praise that it is the channel which has con veyed the knowledge of Homer to the general English public, not to our scholars, of course. Though it is far less to the purpose how, felt about this as a child than how Lord Byron felt. I, too, remember the days (I fear, indeed, that the anecdote will savour of egotism, but I must not mind the imputation if it illustrates my author) when I used to learn Pope's Mad by heart behind a screen, while I was supposed to be engaged on lessons of more direct usefulness; and I fancy that I was under the strange hallucination at the time that I had got by heart the four first books.—(Cheers.) I do not mention this as a profitable example, but in order to show the degree in which this translation was - calculated to gain the mastery over the youthful mind. All the poems of Pope, to which I have already referred, belong to that period of life which, in all ordinary cases, would be called youth. I believe that they must have been nearly alto gether completed before he was thirty. Those which I may further have to quote from (in doing which I shall hardly think it necessary to observe so much separate order between the different poems as heretofore) were the fruits of his matured years and settled powers. They henceforth fall under one class of composition, that which treats of men, their manners, and their morals; they are comprised under their titles of satires and moral essays. He himself speaks of the bent which his genius now adopted, "That not in fancy's maze he wandered long, But stooped to truth, and moralized his song." Upon which I again feel happy to find myself in full ea wciariiettseene:lereoswe i t t o h t L r u o t r h d . y r I o n n , who m y m s i a n y d s , , the'H e h g h h o e u s l t d o h f a a v l e l j p e o c e t t s r m y a is s mast t b h e i e m a l o poetry, ral tr ut h a . s L t h o e r d h i B g h o e li s ti t g o b f r u a k l leearthlyand i Bishop Atterbury, certainly no mean judges of intellectual merit, declared the strength of Pope's genius lay eminently and peculiarly in satire. What shall I then single cut as an illustration of his satiric vein? The c haracter of Lord Hervey, under the name of Sporus, is cited by Lord Byron as a specimen of his rich fancy (generally, but most erroneously, assumed to be the quality in which Pope was chiefly deficient), and with this specimen of fancy Lord Byron defied all his own contemporaries to compete. That it does manifest injustice at least to the abilities of Lord Hervey, will be acknowledged by all who have read his very entertaining memoirs lately published; but, moreover, able and brilliant as it is, it is too disagreeable to repeat. Let me quote, then, his famous character of Addison, who had given offenoo to him, whether with good reason or not it is no part of my present purpose, nor would it be in my power to de cide. Pope thought that Addison had treated him slightingly and superciliously, and I believe took espe cially amiss the kind of notice he had bestowed upon the Rape of the Lock. He speaks of him under the name of Atticus; you will remark the consummate skill with which he first does justice to his genius, and then de tracts from its lustre. It is also a great proof of the cleverness of the satire, that sincere as our respect is both for the genius and character of Addison, it is im possible to go through this piece of dissection without believing that it must have touched upon some point, of real soreness, " Peace to all such! but were there one whose fires True genius kindles, and fair fame inspires ; Blessed with each talent and each art to please, And born to write, converse, and live with ease : Should such a man, too fond to rule alone, Bear, like the Turk, no brother near the throne, View him with scornful, yet with jealous eyes, And hate for arts that caus'd himself to rise; Damn with faint praise, assent with civil leer, And without sneering, teach the rest to sneer; Willing to wound, and yet afraid to strike; Just hint a fault, and hesitate dislike ; Alike reserv'd to blame, or to commend, A tim'rous foe, and a suspicious friend ; Dreading ev'n fools, by flatterers besieg'd ; And so obliging, that he ne'er obligtd ; Like Cato, give his little Senate laws, And sit attentive to his own applause; While wits and tempters ev'ry sentence raise, And wonder with a foolish face of praise— Who but must laugh, if such a man there be? Who would not weep, if Atticus were he !"--(Cheers.) Then I will take the character of the able, versatile, and unprincipled Duke of Wharton:— " Wharton, the scorn and wonder of our days, Whose ruling passion was the last of praise; Born with whate'er could win it from the wise, Women and fools must like him, or he dies; Tho' wondering senates hung on all he spoke, The club must hail him master of the joke." [This couplet has been applied to the celebrated Mr. Sheridan, and does not ill suit the author of the speeches on Warren Hastings's trial, and the School fur Scandal.] " Thus with each gift of nature and of art, And wanting nothing but an honest heart, Grown all to all, from no one vice exempt ; And most contemptible, to shun contempt ; His passion still, to covet gen'ral praise, His life, to forfeit it a thousand ways ; A constant bounty which no friend has made ; An angel tongue, which no man can persuade ; A fool, with more of wit than half mankind, Too rash for thought, for action too refin'd A tyrant to the wife his heart approves : A rebel to the very king he loves; He dies, sad outcast of each church and state, And, harder still, flagitious, yet not great. Ask you why Wharton broke through every rule? 'Twas all for fear the knaves should call him fool." (Cheers.) Ihave given the characters of two men dairness domands that, at least, I should give one of a woman. I take tbat.of Chloe, which, like the two last has not, that I am aware, been ascertained to belong to any ac tual person, but most of us willf eel that we have known people to whom some parts of it at least might fit:— "'Yet Chloe; sure, was formed without a spot— . Nature in het' thou erect uot, but fer50t,",44 I : ,14 I , • " With ev'ry pleasing, ev'ry prudent part, ' Say what does Chloe want ?' She wants a heart. She speaks, behaves, and acts just as she ought; But never, never, reached one generous o:ought. Virtue she finds too painful an endeavour, Content to dwell in decencies for ever. So very reasonable, so unmov'd, Al never yet to lover, or to be lov'd. She, while her lover pants upon her breast, Can mark the figures on an Indian chest : And when she sees her friend in deep despair, Oberves how much a chintz exceeds mohair.—(Laugh te r.) Forbid it Heav'n, a favour or a debt She e'er should cancel !- but she may forget. Safe is your secret still in Chloe's ear; But none of Chloe's shall you ever hear. 01 all her dears she never slandered one, But cares not if a thousand are undone. Would Chloe know if you're alive or dead? She bids her footman put it in her head. Chloe is prudent—would you too be wise: Then never break your heart when Chloe dies." Having thus attempted to do justice to Pope's powers of satire, I must not omit to mention what I consider to be another of his felicities almost of an opposite character, though I have perceived with pleasure since I noted this topic, that I have been anticipated in the same line of remark by the late Mr. Hazlitt; I say, with pleasure, because that ingenious person was one of the guides and favourites of a school the most opposed in theory and practice to that of Pope—the Lake poets. I allude to the extreme tact, skill, and delicacy with which he con veys a compliment, and frequently embodies in one preg nant line or couplet a complete panegyric of the character he wishes to distinguish. Let me instance this by a few examples. Sometimes the compliment appears merely to be thrown out almost as it were by chance to illustrate his meaning. So of the Duke of Chandos, whom at ano ther time he is supposed to have intended to ridicule under the character of Timon— " Thus gracious Chandos is beloved at sight." Then of Lord Cornbury— s- - s .._ " Would ye be blestt despise low joys, low gains, Disdain whatever Cornbnry disdains." Of General Oglethorpe, the founder of Georgia— " One driv'n by strong benevolence of soul .Shall fly, like Oglethorpe, from pole to pole." These have reference to manly virtues; sometimes there is the same oblique reference to female claims:— " Hence beauty, waking all her tints, supplies An angel's sweetness o'er Bridgewater's eyes." At other times the eulogium is more direct. Take that fine application to Lord Cobham of the effects of man's ruling passion developing itself in death, which he has been pursuing through a number of instances—the man of pleasure, the miser, the glutton, the courtier, the co quette, all, for the most part, under circumstances de rogatory to the pride of human nature, when he thus sums them up— " And you, brave Cobham, to the latest breath Shall feel your ruling passionestrong in death ; - Such, in these moments, as intall the past, Oh, save my country, Heav'n4shall be your last." How beautiful is the couplet to Vr. Arbuthnot, his phy sician and friend— *i " Friend of my life ! which diel .. n.ot you prolong, The world had wanted many an idle song." How ingenious that to the famous Philip Stanhope, Earl of Chesterfield, on being desired to write some lines in an album with his pencil— ..,./ " Accept a miracle instead of wit, , See two dull lines by Stanhope's pencil writ." How happy is the allusion to Lord Peterborough, who madds, a brilliant campaign in Spain within a won derfully short time. He represents him as assisting to lay out his grounds— " And he whose lightning pierced the Iberian lines Now forms my quincunx, and now ranks my vines, Or tames the genius of the stubborn plain, Almost as quickly as he conquered Spain." He always speaks of Murray, the great Lord Mans field, with pride and affection. It is true that one of the worst line's he ever wrote is about him, the second in this couplet— " Graced as thou art with all the power of words, So known, so honoured at the House of Lords." —(A laugh.) An instance how much delicacy it re quires to introduce with effect familiar names and things: sometimes it tells with great force—here it is disastrously prosaic. We almost forgive it, however, when he turns from the Palace of Westminster to the Abbey opposite— " Where Murray, long enough his country pride, Shall be no more than Tully or than Hyde." He again alludes to the aptitude for poetical composition which Murray had exhibited, and also to the talent for epigram which he assumes that the great orator Pulteney would have displayed if he had not been engrossed by politics— " How sweet an Ovid, Murray was our boast ; How many Martials were in Pulteney lost." These were for the most part his political friends; but when he mentions Sir Robert Walpole, to whom his friends more than himself were virulently opposed, how respectful and tender is the reproach, how adroit and insinuating the praise— " Seen him I have, but in his happier hour, Of social pleasure, ill exchanged for power,— Seen him uncumbered with a venal tribe, Smile without art, and win without a bribe."—(Cheers.) I might adduce many other instances; I might quote at full length the noble epistle to Lord Oxford, but I will sum up this topic with that striking passage in which. while he enumerates the persons who encouraged and fostered his earlier productions, ho presents us with a gallery of illustrious portraits, sometimes conveys by a single word an insight into their whole character, and concludes the distinguished catalogue with the name of that St. John whom he uniformly regarded with feelings little short of idolatry, and which, however misplaced and ill-grounded, have even in themselves something of the poetical attribute— " But why then publish? Granville the polite, And knowing Walsh could tell me I could write ; Well-natured Garth inflamed with early praise, And Congreve-loved, and Swift endured, my lays." (Observe how the gentle and amiable Congreve " loved," and the caustic and cynical Swift " endured"). " The courtly Talbot, Somers, Sheffield, read, E'en mitred Rochester would not the head," (said to have been the ordinary symptom of Bishop At terbury being pleased; then comes the swelling climax), " And St. John's self, great Dryden's friend before, With open arms received one Poet more. Happy the studies, when by these approved, Happier their author, when by these beloved." —(Cheers.) I feel that I ought not entirely to omit all mention of the long satiric poem of the " Dunciad," upon which Pope evidently bestowed much care and labour; but it is throughout disfigured by great ill nature, and by a pervading run of unpleasant and un savoury images. There is much spirit in the account of the young high-born Dunce, who makes what is called the Grand Tour— " Europe he saw, and Europe saw him too," and tells how he " Judicious drank, and greatly daring, dined." There is a luscious kind of burlesque softness in these lines— " To happy convents, bosomed deep in vines, Where slumber abbots, purple as their wines; To isles of fragrance, lily-silvered vales, Diffusing langour in their parting-gales; To lands of singing and of dancing slaves, Love-whispering meads, and lute-resounding waves." One of the next distinguishing excellencies of Pope is the vividness which he imparts to all the pictures be pre sents to the mind, and which hn attains by always mak ing use of the most appropriate terms which the matter admits. This, in conjunction with his wonderful power of compression, which he has probably carried further than any one before or since, gives a terseness and com pleteness to all ho says in which ho is unrivalled. As instances of this perfect picture painting I would refer you, as I must not indefinitely indulge in long citations, to the descriptions, all in the same Epistle on Riches, of the Miser's House, the Man of Ross's charities, and of the death of Villiers, Duke of Buckingham. " In the worst inn's worst room [it was in Yorkshire] with mat half hung, The floors of plaster, and the walls of dung, On once a flock bed, but repaired with straw, With tape-tied curtains, never meant to draw, The George and Garter dangling from that bed 'Where tawdry yellow strove with dirty red, Great Villiers lies-alas I how changed from him, That life of pleasure, and that soul of whim !" If any should object that this is all very finished and elaborate, but it is very minute—only miniature painting after all—what do you say to this one couplet on the operations of the Deity? " Builds life on death, on change duration founds, And gives the eternal wheels to know their rounds." (Cheers.), I would beg any of the detractors of Pope to furnish me with another couple of lines from any author whatever which encloses so much sublimity of meaning within such compressed limits, and such precise terms. I must cite another passage, in which he ven tures on the same exalted theme, with somewhat more enlargement. It would be impossible, however, for you to hear it, and bring against it any charge of diffuse ness:-- " All are but parts of one stupendous whole, Whose body nature is, and God the soul; That, chang'd through all, and:yet in all the same ; Great in the earth, as in the ethereal frame, Warms in the sun, refreshes in the breeze, Glows in the stars, and blossoms in the trees, Lives through all life, extends through all extent, Spreads undivided, operates unspent. [There is a couplet indeed!] Breathes in our soul, informs our mental part, As full, as perfect, in a hair as heart ; As full, as perfect, in vile man that mourns, As the rapt seraph that adores and burns; To him no high, no low, no great, no small ; He fills, he bounds, connects, and equals all." —( Applause.) Let me invite your attention to the few following lines on the apportionment of separate instincts or qualities to diffsrent animals, and be good enough to observe how the single words clench the whole argument. They are as descriptive as the bars of Ilayda's music in the oratorio of the Creation:— " What modes of sight betwixt each wide extreme, The mule's dint curtain, and the lynx's beam ; Of smell, the headlong lioness between, And hound sagacious on the tainted green ; Of hearing, from the life that fills the flood, To that which warbles through the vernal wood; The spider's touch, how exquisitely fine, Feels at each thread, and lives along the line." What a couplet again is that! It is only about a spider; but I guarantee its immortality. If I set down the terse, the accurate, the complete, the pungency of the satiric point, the felicity of the well-turned compliment, as the distinctive features of Pope's poetical excellence, it should not escape us that there IVO occasions when he reaches a high degree of moral energy and order. My limits, more than my materials, warn me that I must desist. As, however, with reference to the single cbject which I have all along had in view. I think it more politic that 1 should let tho words of Pope, rather than my own, leave the last echoes on your ear, I should like to conclude this address with his own concluding linos to perhaps the most important and highly-wrought of his poems, the Essay on Man. They appear to me calculated to leave an appropriate impression of that orderly and graceful muse, whose attractions I have, feebly I know and inadequately, but with the honesty and warmth of a thorough sincerity—(Loud applause) —endeavoured to place before yen. It I mistake not, you will trace in them, as i n hi s wor k s at l arge, t h e same perfect propriety of ex p ress i on, t h e same re fi ne d simplicity of idea, the same chastened felicity of imagery, all animated and warmed by that feeling of devotion for Bolingbroke, which pervaded his poetry and " Come, then, my friend ! my genius! come along; Oh master of the poet, and the song! And while the muse now stoops, or now ascends, To man's low passions, or their glorious ends, Teach me, like thee, in various nature wise, To fall with dignity, with temper rise; Form'd by the converse, happily to steer From grave to gay, from lively to severe! Correct with spirit, elegant with ease, Intent to reason, or polite to please. Oh ! while along the stream of time thy name Expanded flies, and gathers all its fame, Say, shall my little bark attendant sail, Pursue the triumph, and partake the gale? When statesmen, heroes, kings in dust repose Whose sons shall blush their fathers were thy foes, Shall then this verse to future age pretend Thou avert my guide, philosopher, and friend, That urg'd by thee, 1 turn'd the tuneful art From sounds to things, from fancy to the heart ; For wit's false mirror held up nature's light, Show'd erring pride, whatever is, is right ; That reason, passion, answer one great aim ; That true self-love and social are the same; That virtue only makes our bliss below, And all our knowledge is ourselves to know." Gentlemen of the jury, that is my case. The close of the lecture was hailed with loud and long-continued applause, and the dense crowd still kept their places for some minutes, as if unwilling to believe that all was over. His Lordship, however, accompanied by his friends, left the platform, which was the signal for reiterated cheering ; and then the audience shortly retired. OAL TRADE WITH FRANCE On Tuesday a public meeting was held at the Guild hall in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, William Armstrong, Esq., mayor, in the chair, to press upon her Majesty's Govern ment the importance of prevailing upon France to equalize the duties charged upon the admission of British and Belgian coal and coke. The Hon. H. T. Liddell, Mr. Matthew Bell, M.P., and other gentlemen having spoken, Mr. Hurr, .M.P. for Gateshead, said—l have great pleasure in assuring you, in answer to the appeal made to me in the resolution just adopted, that my services, in any capacity in which they can be of use, shall be cheer fully'giventowards bringing this question to a practical and satisfactory conclusion. I hold in my hand letters from two distinguished representatives of this district, containing similar' assurance,. The first is from the Noble Lord who represents with so much ability the Southern Division of Durham. Lord Harry Vane writen to me from London, that though he cannot attend the meeting he warmly sympathises with its object, and will lend his best assistance to promote it.—(Cheers.) The next letter is from Mr. Headlam. Mr. Headlam regrets that his engagements in London prevent him from being here to-day; but he expresses an earnest wish ,to promote our views by every means in his power.—(Cheers.) Now (continued Mr. Hutt) I am glad that Mr. Ileadlam speaks thus, be cause he is a very clever fellow possesses the ear of the House of Commons—and has the honour of representing Newcastle; I think a better person:can hardly be selected to Jay this case before Parliament—if, as Mr. Bell seems to believe, such a step may eventually be necessary. For my part, I hardly think it will ; and I will tell you why. See how our case stands. France and England being on terms of amity and alliance, each country is hound, by those laws which regulate the in tercourse of nations, never to regulate its trade and fiscal laws in a spirit of commercial hostility to the other—such being the priffciple of international law. We find France levying a duty on coals imparted from England five times as great as on coals imported from Belgium; and when we complain of the unfairness and illegality of such proceeding, France smartly tells us—Oh! only import your coals by our land frontier, like Belgium, and you will be placed on the same footing as that country. —(A laugh.) And it is supposed that we must be abundantly satisfied with that answer But, indeed, gentlemen, we are neither satisfied nor silenced. We insist on being placed on a real, and not upon a nominal and false footing of equality with other countries in regard to the coal trade. But, indeed, this is not a mere coal-trade question. If these fine distinctions about the mode of importation are to stand good—if this hocus pocus about zones and land frontier, set up now for the first time, is to pass unchal lenged—we may see ourselves stripped tomorrow of the trade of half the globe, with every guarantee in our fa vour. Germany takes more of the productions of our industry than any country in the world except the United States. Suppose Germany were to follow the example of France, and levy on goods imported by sea quintuple the duty which it levied on goods imported by its land-frontier, where would be our trade? Is there a question about it, that our trade with Germany would be annihilated? The same may be said of the States of Italy—the same of Spain and of every other country in Europe. But do you really think, gentlemen, with Mr. Bell, that the statesman who now administers the foreign affairs of this country is the man to look on tamely when such an outrage and indignity is threatened up? In such an assembly as I have now the honour of addressing, I cannot suppose that every individual will concurs in ap proving the general policy cf Lord Palmerston, but I do expect that every one will join in admitting his uncom mon abilities, and the lofty spirit with which be always upholds the eights and honour of England.—(Cheers.) It was said of the great Lord Chatham, that when he was Minister ho would not allow a sword to be seen or a mus ket to be fired i❑ Europe without his permission. Lord Palmerston aims at is nobler object. What was the whole meaning of that grand speech which, a few months ago, fired the admiration of his opponents in Parliament, and which is still tingling in the ears of foreign statesmen in almost every capital in Europe—what was the whole bent and meaning of Lord Palmerston's speech? Why this—That so long as he was Minister of England, every Englishman should be invested with immunity from foreign injury and oppression —that in every region of the world where a British subject could be found, there the aegis of his country should protect him.—(Loud cheers.) And do you imagine that a Minister who an nounces this as the first object of his ambition and the leading maxim of his policy, will quietly allow the real and substantial interests of his country to be frittered away by trumpery pretensions about zones and frontiers? Do him better justice. Spread the whole of your case before Lord Palmerston. Show him the extent of the wrong you have suffered— the length of time you have waited for redress. Do you do this, and derend upon it that Lord Palmerston will amply keep faith with his country and with his fame.—(Applause.) Nor do I apprehend that he will encounter all the difficulties, on the other side of the water, that have been asserted. During a recent visit to the Continent, I was placed, by the kindness of Lord Normanby, in personal communication with the French Government on this subject; and although I cannot boast that my diplomacy brought it to any great practical results, I must say, and I am proud to make the observation in the presence of a gentleman who re presents France in this neighbourhood—that I found the French Government disposed to approach the ques tion in a spirit of fairness and liberalty which became the Ministers of a mighty nation.—(Much cheering.) For these reasons I think wo shall have no occasion to appeal to the justice and protective wisdom of Parlia ment. But should Ibe mistaken—should the founda tions on which I rest these hopes be found delusive— I can only say you will have all the influence which the united exertions of your representatives, and the power of a good cause can give you to secure you redress.
