LIT ERATURE. POETICAL LITER iTURE of the P iST HALF-CEATURE By D. M. Moir. Black wood and Suns. Delta Pas bleu associate d so long and so favourably with the brilliant epoch here celebrated that his ap pearance in his present. charscter as critic is scarcely less agreeable than that which he has uninterruptedly oc cupied as contemporary. He ce it is that we el come the beautiful volume lying before us with a most genuine and earnest curcliaiity. From his prefatory remarks it becomes apparent that the work just pub- lisher' by the Messrs. Blackwood originated in cer tain 1.. c, urea delivered during the past session before the E finburgh Philosophical Institution. The fact might have been safely conjectured without any such announcement, from the synopsis prefixed to the va rious peril...Ds of the composition, partaking less of the nature of an ordinary index than of a singularly attractive and comprehensive sy Ilabus. Besides which the circuttistence is yet more brilliantly rmblezoned on the pages by the popular and genial spirit diffused over the whole effusion. Delta adventures upon the inquiry here marked out for inves h is scrupulous attention to x actituie, together with a most delicate appre ciation of the really true end beautiful, as well us a strangely eclectic perceptivity in regard to the in st multiform and m irtifuld excelleeces. All t th, ugh requisite in the reviewer, is nothing less than noble and magnanimous in the competitor. No petty jealousies, no despicable prejudices, no shallow or egotistical predilections are visible on the p.,rt of Mr. Moir in his treatment of the subject selected for the display of his powers as a critic, but, on the contrary, there ale everywhere manifest throughout a generous enthusiasm for the merits of writers whom he consi ders not in the narrow aspect of rivals, but in a large minded and large-hearted mood as his brethren and associates. We like this. It is befeting his position in letters and consonant with every phase of his repu tation. It cannot fail, moreover, to endear him to the reuder, while it elicits our very warmest expres sions of admiration. Introducing his disquisition by a sketch of the state of peetical li.erature as was in this country ar the commencement the nineteenth century, Delta comments very j udiciously on the long mastery maintained by the school of Pope and Dryden, a mastery which was ultimately modified by Thomson, Cowper, Burns, and Goldsmith. The et/alit-St ent successes, achieved shortly atterwarde by Hay ley, Darwin, and the Daila Cruhcana are shown to hive evidenced in a remark able manner the tact that literary tastes are it:fluenced by social trahstormaions. Reference is then, of course, made to the tendencies of the supernatural *alma under the conduct of its undisputed chieftain, Matthew Gregory Lewis, and illustrations are given of its fantastic la- culiarities and 1113 sterious characteristics. After an allusion to the pensive muse ef Kit ke White and to the religious enthusiasm of JAnes Grahame, come soma capital delis ikons of the merit to be dis covered in the satirical and humorous poetry of Canning. Frere, Gifford, Mathias, and George Col man the Younger. SO joined to these are charming sketches of Leyden and Bloomfield, with remarks on the female writers of the period, Charlotte Smith, Amelia Opie, Mrs. Hunter (not the Airs. Leo Hunter of "Pickwick," hut the authoress of the death song of the " Cherokee"), Airs. Grant, and Mrs. Tighe:the gifted celehr .nt of " Psyche." Various poets and translators of the same generation, in nest instances long since forgotten, are recalled to p .pular retnent brance, in order that a general estimate of their merits may be given by the poet- lecturer. A warm eulo gium upon the homely pathos of Crabbe is indulged in immediately afterwards, especial regard being had to his unquestionable title to originality. Commen dations are next pronounced on the elegant and ar tistic effusions of Lisle Bowles, and yet more so on those of the veteran Samuel Rogers. Hereupon we arrive at a consideration of the peculiarities of the lake school cultivated by Lloyd, Lamb, and Lovell, but led by such powerful minds as those of the inde fatigable Southey, the indolent and dreaming Cole - ridge, and the severe but sometimes puling Words worth. Under this same comprehensive survey we find Judicious commentaries on the productions of Walter Savage Lendor, James Hogg and Allan Cunningham. Ballad poetry introduces us to the re vival of the romantic school, as was evidenced most especially in the advent of Sir Walter Scott. The classical elegance of Campbell, the ori ental splendour of Professor Wilson, and the hutnanising suavity of James Montgomery are next particularised. Then, likewi,e, we rejoice to arrive with our author at the period rendered memorable by the succession of Lord Byron to the poetical supre macy. Having celebrated with due emphasis the remarkable energies of that splendid and transcendent genius, Mr. Muir directs the attention of his hearers, or we st.ould now more pros erly call them his read ers, to the "Palestine" of Bishop Heber, the " Samar" int Dean Milmau, and the "Sebastian" of Dr. Croly, toge ther with supplementary allusions to the Icelandic translations of the Honourable W. Herbert, to the "Austin Fair" of William Tennant, to the " Whistlecreft" of Frere, the "Ingoldsby Le gends" of Barham, and the " Rejected Addresses" of James and Horace Smith, not forgetting the improvisatorial 'sewers if Theodore Hook, the mingled wit and passion of Thomas Hood, and the exquisite skill of Moore in amatory compositions. Another phase of the poetic mind is then delineated, that gorgeous phase which was at first indicated by Leigh Hunt, but rapidly verfected by its illustrious masters John Keats and Percy Bysshe Shelley. Thereupon Procter obtains his deserved share of at tention, under his more cerebrated pseudonym of Birry Cornwall. The criticism then extends sue eessively to Hobert Pollak, to Thomas Aird, tc Williaw Kennedy, Enehrzer Elliott, and Williams; Motherwell. Under the sigt.ificaut designation of Female Constellations, we next come upon a de lightful catalogue of names, such as thee of Joanne Billie, Felicia HeNtans, Caroline Bowles, Marta Jewshury, Mary Howitt, Caroline Norton, Harriet Drury, Camilla Toultniti, Lady Flora Hastings, Mary Bussell Elie sbeth Barrett Browning, and Letitia Ei,z.beth Landon, cursory reterenve being subs. 'pettily made to the verses of Professor R. C. Trench, Thomas Priegle, John Clare, Brrnsr' Barton, Altaic A. Watts, T. K. Hervey, Charles v% one , Jane Taylor, and Thomas Hynes Bayley. Comprised in the final lecture, also, we ton, couuter passages of very trenchant criticism on the poetic effusions of Lockhart, on the Roman Lays of Macaulay and the Scottish Lays of Aytoun, with minor commentaries on Mrs. Stuart Monteith, Mrs Ogilvy, Rev. John Moultrie, Mrs. Downing, and Mess Agnes Strickland. The observations on Si , Edward Bulvver Lytton we cannot but regard as the least effective and meritorious portion of the volume, the preference given in it to his translations of Schil ler being particularly ungraceful when it is remem bered by what firm that work of his was published Finally the book closes with particular reference to the last poetic school, which is here designated not Inaptly the Metaphysic Romantic. Alfred 'Tenny son is naturally recognised at once as its leader, Robert Browning as its high priest, and the " Festus" of Philip J..tnes Bailey as its crowning exaggeration Delta takes occasion at this stage of his inquiry into the state of recent poetry to protest against myritt clam and obscurity as its supreme and pervading blemishes. Together with the names of their coutemporari e s he blends allusions to those of Charles Mackay, of John Sterling, of Henry Ts)lor, and of Richard (not Robert, as be calls bun) Monckton Milnes, not forgetting an inci dental mention of the dramatists' Maturin, Sheridan Knowles, Westland Marston, White, Horne, Samuel , Smith, and Thomas B N r o o o w n n l e , , l, L ifo o u v r e d ll e Bedoes dßesides these, m o r e ov e r, we find our young aspirants in the erenaulminesra(l,fte.pdoteh,; names of West wood, Bennet', rm, bi adtigde, A c to which we would add those of Sydn e y Yend y aurznsgebis a, Clough, m, 8, of Richard Selous, of George Meredith, of Henry I nglis, of Charles Kingsley, of Denis Macarthy, and of Viscount Maidstone.

FINE A IeTS. THE PICTURE OF THt: 1-XHIBITION.' By George Cruikshank. Numerous as nerve been the repres , etaions of the interior and exterior of the Crystal P.lace, scarcely one ef them has, hitherto prived really satisfactory. There have been woodcuts, and steel engravings, awl engravings on copp,r and in un zzotitito,—woiks of all sizes, and t,•ken front every inoliorible paint of view, the productions in some instances of unmis tileehle talent, and in others of unmistakeable mediocrity. Yet, varied as these endeavours have been, we have found them, with little more than one or " two exceptions, unde serving of any very high commendation. The exquisitely coloured plates produced from the draw ings of Mr. Nash, drawings made in obedience to a royal command, and now in her Majesty's possession, must, of course, be particularised as those which have mainly extorted our ulogium. Yet something was still left to be accomplished after even the most successful of those adventurous attempts at an ac curate delineation of one of the most memorable, as it was also one of the most beautiful, incidents in the reign of our beloved Sovereign. There was wanting an engraving which, in addition to the merits of architectural detail and of artistic execution, should preserve about it in every particular a verisimilitude. Such an engraving is the one here published by David Bogue, from the ii imitable and glorious George Cruikshank. Altogether, to speak briefly and emphatically of the merits of the picture before us, we may say with the strictest truth aat in it we see the Ist of May daguerreotyped. The view is taken from the south-west gallery at the moment when the Archbishop of Canter. bury is invoking the Divine blessing upon the objects of the Great Exhibition. Under the pendant canopy, sanding by the throne, upon the elevated dais erected in the northern division of the transept, are the Queen,'the Prince, and the two eldest of the royal children. Immediately on the left of her Majesty is the Primate of all England, and further back, among a crowd of courtiers, may be dis tinguished the Prime Minister, the Marquis of Anglesey, aid the Duke of Wellington. Pourtraying with the utmost minuteness every feature in that most gorgeous pageant, the beialds in their ta bards, the line of gentlemen-at-arms, the ladies in waiting, the heeteaters iii the` background, and the vast and compact body of spectators, the artist has nevertheless at the same time imparted to the spec tacle an air of ease in the flawing outlines of the a hole, such as might scarcely be expected in a work so microscopically elaborated. When coloured the engraving cannot but be an exquisite transcript from that brilliant and superb original which, among its varied hues, gave the green of the elm boughs, the scarlet of the drapery, the blue . and amber of the iron-work edifice, added to the chequered tints of the costumes worn by the different bebuiders. Conspicuous among the latter may be recognised several of the representatives of 'the various nations of Christendom, pencilled off with that humorous ap preciation of character for which Getirge Crtokshaele Liss been so long and egreeably rental Toe re doubtable Mandarin, known among our eight-seers as the Commander of the Chinese Junk, is readily per ceived near the Crystal Fountain, and other notabi lities may be detected almost as easily by a little re search among the motley groups depicted. Aa a memento of the inauguration of this unprecedented exposition of art and industry, the plate here submitted to our criticism must be regarded as really iuesti citable in every particular. It will be gratefully wel comed by every individual interested in the under taking, from the illustrious originator himself down to he most obscure visitor of the Crystal Palace, en dearing yet more to the p ipulter heart the old familiar name of George Cruikshaek. WHAT IS POETICY? (From Eliza Cook's Journal.) A very short question u,t►y require a very long answer to do justice to the subject which it opens up. What is religion? What is truth? What is poetry ? To answer either of these queries satisfactory would require, not a brief note only, nor an article. nor a year's articles; but it would demand a life-time of articles, and even at the end of that life-time it were just possible that we might MI in answering ciearly and satisfactorily either of these qusstions. Wordsworth, Coleridge, fluut, Jeffrey, El liott, and Southey, with many other great minds, have occupied themselves with the solution of the question " What is poetry?" We do not know that they have succeeded. Perhaps poetry, like many other subtle things, eludes definition. Who can define life—the com mon daily life,we carry about with us. We live, and that is all we know of the cause of life. Poetry is—we feel it—how shall we define it? It is not a form but an essence: it is not a substance, but a spirit—the spirit of beauty. Its utterance is the utterance of passionate and intense trutb. Elliott says it is " philosophy in its es sence—the pirit of that •bright consummate flower' whose root is in our bosoms." Leigh Hunt says it is a passion for truth, beauty, and power, embodying and illustrating its impressions by the imagination, in order that it may enjoy and impart the feelings of their truth in its utmost conviction and affluence. In a word, it is imaginative passion ; and " he who has thought, feeling, expression, imagination, action, character, and con tinuity, all i❑ the largest amount and highest degree, is the greatest poet." Philip James Baily, in that grand poem of his, " Festus," say is— " Poets are all who love—who feel great truths, Aud tell them ; mid the truth of truths is love." Again he says that poetry is " the bright precipitate of truth," and that the poet's mission is to sort out many glorious likenesse3 in the world, and string them into music—the poet's pens being " The true divining rod Which trembles tow'rds the inner founts of feeling; Bringing to light and use, else hid from all, The many sweet clear sources wh ch we have Of good and beauty in our own deep bosoms." Poetry begins where matter of fact ends. It is fact and feeling idealized and unrolled in beauty and power. Shelley says of it, that it "lifts the veil from the hidden beauty of the world, and makes familiar objects be as if they were not familiar." Keats says it is "a drainless shower of light 'Tis the supreme of power; 'Tis might half slumbering on its own right arm; And that the great end of poetry is That it should be a friend To soothe the cares and lift the thoughts of man." Its language is musical, and assumes the measure of verse. But as poetry is ideal, and depends not on its clothing for its power, verse is not indispensable to it. Jeremy Taylor's writings contain passages of the noblest poetry, conveyed in grand and solemn prose. Bunyan's fine and truly poetical all•: gory is not written in verse. Some of Milton's grandest imagery is contained in his prose writings. Carlyle is a great poet, though despising the artifice of verse. Ossian's poetry is not couched in verse, and yet Napoleon held him (whoever he was) to be the grt atest of poets. Nor was Napoleon himself with out poetry. Pointing to the Pyramids he said to his army, "Forty centuries look down upon us." Surely that was no mean stroke of poetry—one which his nephew of the tame eagle gives no ht,pes of equalling. But true poetry may assume many other forms besides the spoken. In painting it reaches great heights: witness the grandeur of Martin's conceptions, nor are Dauby and Turner far behind him. Even Landeeer has treated animal subjects with the true feeling of poetry, witness •' The Stain Fallow Deer," exhibited by him at the Royal Academy some two years ago, " The Dead Dam" lies on the snow, which is died with its trickling blood, while the fawn, after long pattering round its mother, vainly tries to suck the ineffectual teat. Bailey and Calder Marshall are poets in sculpture; they embody a poetic idea in the marble, which lives enduringly, Beethoven, Mendelssohn, and Meyerbeer are great poets in music, and perhaps greater and sublimer than all is Handel. Poetry is a grr at ennobler of life; it is purify ing, refining, and elevating. Many can say of it what Coleridge did—" Poetry has been to me its own exceed ing great reward. It has soothed my afflictions, it has multiplied and refined my enjoyments, it has endeared solitude; and it has given me the habit of wishing to Idiscover the good and the beautiful in all that meets and surrounds me."

The lovers of the marvellous and the lovers of the scandalous will regret to learn the death, which took place on Tuesday evening, at his apartments in Davies street, of Mr. Dyce Sombre, a gentleman whose strange career i n Europe, with his not less marvellous antece dents in the East, have furnished so many a piquant subject of conversation and conjecture. He appeared in this country, we think, about a dezen years ago, bring ing with him a reputation, not ill-founded, of almost fa. bulous wealth, and said to be—although of European blood by the father's side—thoroughly an Oriental in education, customs of life, and manners of thought. His arrival attracted much notice. He became one of the feted lions of the season, and ultimately married, in 1840, Mary Alice, daughter of the Earl St. Vincent. A separation soon took place, and the legal proceedings consequent upon this ill-starred marriage—followed by those adopted fur the purpose of establishing Mr. Dyce Sombre's lunacy—were burg matters of public talk and universal notoriety. into either brunch of the multitu dinous details in question this is certainly not the time to enter ; suffice it to say that the deceased gentle man, even laying aside his allegrd lunacy, was not—whatever were his feelings and opinions, and whatever were his actions—fairly amenable to the standard of European judgment. Burn and educated—or ra , her not cducsted—in a state of false and depraved Oriental semi-civilization, into which entered, in no in considerable degree, the worst vices of the Western world, Mr. Sombre was unhappily induced to change the moral and physical atmosphere in which he haul been brought up for a new ephere, to which he had neither the menial vigour nor tee mental flexibility to adapt hitnself. A man of stronger mind might proba bly have worked himself clear of the barbarisms and pollutions with which he had been surrounded. Mr. Sombre, however, was not so gi fted, and his hie in Eng land was such as to afford abundant matter for the gra tification of the strongest appetite for the raciest species of gossip. Ills attempt to enter public life was seconded by ,he worthy and enlightened electors of Sudbury, woo sent him to Parliament, from whence, however, he was speedily sj, (lied ou petition—the borough being soon afterwards, mainly iu consequence of proceedings at that elrction, disfranchised. For the last few years Mr. Sombre has resided on the Continent, to escape the effects of the decision of the Court of Chancery in his case—a decision which he had come over to petition against when be was seizsd with his fatal illness. The deceased was uuthrstood to be the son of a Ger man adventurer in India, ot the mime of Summer, who espoused the late Br gum Orasiroo. All manner of wild and scandalous stories are afloat as to the life of this woman 'and the death of her husband. It seems not to be quite certain whether Mr. Dyce Sombre was the real or only the erupted child; bur, tie that as it may, upon the death of his father. the B-gum transferred her ma tercal affictsons, such as they were, to the son of the German why was educated, it is said, by a Protestant clergyman, althrais,h the old lady herselt by turns pro fessed herself a Catholic and a ylahometan—having actually built a cathedral and a mosque, with the inten tion of having two stunga to her bow. After her demise Mr. Dyce Sombre came to Europe, and first made him self remarkable, in Italy, by the extraordinary black marble monument which he caused to be executed and sent to India in memory of his benefactress. His subse quent lite in England has already been noticed. In consequence of his death in a state of lunacy his money in the funds, railway shares, and other property, of the annual value of 11,000 L, will become divisible between Captain Troup and General Soldroli, the husbands of his two sisters, who are next of kin. An additional sum, producing 4,000/. a year, will also fall to their families on the death of Mrs. Dyce Sombre.—Chronicle. FASHIONS FOR JULY (Froin Le Fad.) One of the best methe,ds of informing our readers of the actual " modes" is to cite some ensembles de toilettes worn by ladies whose good taste and elegance are in disputable. We shall, therefore, at once proceed to describe a visiting dress:—The robe is of pearl gray taffetas shot with pink; plain skirt; body open to the waist, with revere edged with narrow pink and grey braids placed alternately. The same trim ming ornaments the cuffs, which turn back towards the elbow, and are very loose. The body is finished with a basquine, and is edged with a deep fringe de scending half-way down the skirt ; this fringe, which is a mixture of pink and grey silk, has a wide heading en ze.dlle guipure, forming festoons, terminating with long tassels. The bonnet which ac companies this toilette is of bands of whalebone separa ted by open straw, trimmed with bows of white ribbon edged with fancy straw; small moss-roses and sprigs of straws are intermixed with the ribbon and, also ornament the inside. An immense Chantilly-lace shawl accompanies this toilette. Another was of dark green and white glace taffetas; the flounce, deeply scol loped were edged with an embroidered wreath in white silk. An echarpe mantelet of Brussels point, lined with dark -grk en cape, the lace trimming reaching from the waist haft-way down the skirt. Open-work straw bonnet imitating lace, lined with pink crape, and trimmed on either side with a branch of pink haw thorn, united by light wreaths of leaves, which pass all round the crown. Tne curtain and broad strings were made of pink and white taffetas ribbon. The inside of the bc.neet was ornamented with bunches of hawthorn, We must mention another toilette of a more sedate character. The dress is of violet-coloured taffetas dleslie, with three scolloped flounces, embroidered with black and violet silks, each flounce separated by three narrow ones of black lace. Black lace mantille. Black tulle bonnet edged with straw; a ruche of narrow black blonde, embroidered with straw round the front; a bouquet of black feathers mixed with light chains of straw rings, falling very low, is placed at each ear: bouquets of straw flowers with long narrow leaves of black velvet inside. The strings of black taffetas ribbon embroidered with straw. Morning bonnets of coarse straw have open edges; they are lined with taffetas of the same colour as the trimming. Plaid ribbons are used, and the greater mul tiplicity of colours the more I la mode. The bows are large, and form several coques, separated in the middle by a torsade of ribbon; small flowers and leaves are per mitted as ornaments for the inside of negliges bonnets. We have noticed a fancy bonnet, composed of chains of straw rings looped in each other. A pink taffetas ribbon is passed through the rings at the edge, forming small curls both inside and outside. The bonnet is lined with pink taffetas. A simple branch of ivy crosses the head, and mixes with the coques of pink ribbon at the ears. The same trimming inside. Feathers are much employed for rice, straw, and open whalebone bonnets, and have bean brought to great per fection this season both as to shades and form. We have some beautiful bonnets of white tulle worked in small spots with straw, so fine that they appear like gold spots; a triple row of straw•coloured ribbon is slightly drawn round the edge. A bouquet of marabouts ornaments one side; the ends have small lilies of the valley in straw, looking like drops of rain. Lillies and ribbons inside. A charming bonnet, the front formed of boutonnees of pink crape separated by ribbon, drawn like a ruche across the crown; bouillonnees of crape edged with nar row ribbon, forming a small funchon, the ends of which are fastened on each side under tufts of small field flowers; mixed with coques of ribbon and straw. A double curtain of crape edged with three narrow ribbons matching the edge of the bonnet. The strings of broad pink taffetas ribbon, with a lace edge. Thin tarlataine dresses have deeply cut flounces, trimmed round with three narrow gauze ribbons, drawn at one edge. Ribbon placed en echelle, very closely to gether, on the body. The short sleeves are entirely covered with ribbon. Many head-dresses for young ladies are composed of a single ribbon placed under the bandeaux, and, passing behind, are fastened with a bow and long ends. Many dresses have their trimming printed in the ma terial. Redingotes of plain or chine silk have a broad satin stripe down the front, of the dominant shade of the dress. Upon the dresses with flounces these stripes are graduated in width, resembling narrow ribbons. We have seen a redingote of brown and pink taffetas in this style; a broad stripe of brown satin runs be tween two narrow tucks; the botton of the sleeve matches; ribbon-bows are placed down the front, fixed with an amethyst butterfly mounted in gold. The body is very open; half pagodes sleeves, disco vering the collerette Medicis, and sleeves of Valen ciennes. A robe of green and brown chine, strewed with bouquets of roses, with three flounces, each edged with three stripes of shaded green. The body a Louis XV., the front trimmed with an echelle of ribbon of the same shades of green; between each a narrow flounce of English lace imitating the guimpe, which is of lace. The bottom of the sleeves are trimmed with green satin ribbon, separated by English lace. We must mention also some beautiful robes of plain grenadine, of different shades of gray; the flounces edged with three or four rows of gray satiu, The same kind of stripes are round the sleeves and body. We have observed some robes of this style, called bayac dres, having stripes of divers colours upon grena dines, and white mousseline de soie. Bonnets of whalebone are very fashionable: some are of black and white, trimmed on the side with bunches of dark roses. The broad strings and the curtains are of black and pink, or white and pink ribbon. They are lined with pink tulle, the cap of tulle, and rosebuds. Another bonnet of white whalebone trimmed with narrow ribbons forming hanging-foliage; on each aide broad strings of ribbon to match. The mantelet ecbarpo is decidedly the fashion. They are made in black taffetas trimmed with deep magnificent lace, and enriched with ribbons or embroidery. Young ladies wear the same make of mantelet in pick or green taffetas, trimmed with a double row of Brussels or ssleecen lace. Some, more simple, are in taffetas of all colours, trimmed with a deep plain tulle of the same colour as the silk. Upon this tulle are placed narrow velvets in rows of threes. A broad velvet, which forms the head to this trimming, is placed upon the silk all round the mantelet. Sometimes, in place of the velvet, a bouillonne of tulle separated by three or four rows of narrow velvets. We must notice one, of white taffetas, the mantelet itself being embroidered with silk en sou tube; the tulle which trims it has nine rows of passe meuterie in place of the velvets. This mantelet is fas. tened with magnificent button►. Independent of all the fancy mantelets, scarfs, and shawls of black lace, embroidered muslin mantelets, each have become indispensable accessories to summer toilettes. Weddipg dresses merit particular notice for their splendour. The greatest novelty is the skirt, with al ternate flounces of embroidered muslin and Brussels lace. A cantle zuut of lace, with a deep lace from the waist, meeting the first flounce on the skirt. Another, less splendid, has the front breadth embroi dered apron-fashion; the t est of the skirt is embroidered in three rows imitating flat flounces. The body is high, embroidered over the chest and sleeves; a narrow lace is fulled in round the throat. THE CHIFFuNNIEIiS OF PARIS. The fraternal association of rag-gatherers (chiffon niers) gave a grand banquet in Paris on Saturday last. It took place at a public-house called the Pot Tricolore, near the Barrilre de Fontainebleau, which is frequented by the rag-gathering fraternity. In this house there are three mums, each of which is specially devoted to the use of different classes ot rag-gatherers: one, the least dirty, is called the " Chamber of Peers," and is occupied by the first class—that is, those who possess a basket in a good state and a crook ornamented with copper ; the second, called the " Chamber of Deputies," belonging to the second class, is much less comfortable, and those who attend it have baskets and crooks—not of the first-rate quality; the third room is in a dilapidated condition, and is frequented by the lowest order of gatherers, who have no basket or crook, and who place what they find in the streets in a piece of sackcloth; they call themselves the " Reunion des Vrais Prol6 taires." ,The name of each room is written in chalk above the door, and generally such strict etiquette is observed among the rag-gatherers that no one goes into the apartment not occupied by his own class. At Saturday's banquet, however, all distinctions ot rank were set aside, and delegates of each class united fraternally. The president was the oldest rag gatherer of Paris; his age is 88, and he is called the Em peror. The banquet consisted of a sort of olla podrida, which the master of the establishment pompously called a gibelotte, though of what animal it was mainly composed it was impossible to say. It was served up in huge earthen dishes, and before it was allowed to be touched payment was demanded and obtained. The other articles were also paid for as soon as they were brought in, and a deposit was exacted as security for the plater, knives, and forks. The wine, or what did duty as such, was contained in an earthen pot called the Petit Pare Noir, and was filled from a gigantic vessel named Le Moricaud. The dinner was concluded by each guest taking a small glass of brandy. Business was then pro ceeded to. - It consisted in the reading and adoption of the sta'utes of the association, followed by the drink ing of numerous toasts to the president, to the prospe rity of rag-gathering, to the union of rag-gatherers, &c. A collection, amounting to 6f. 75c., was raised for sick members of the fraternity. The guests then dispersed, but several of them remained at the counter until they had consumed in brandy the amount deposited as secu rity for the crockery. knives, and spoons.

Yesterday by the police returns 49,399 people entered the building, and the receipts amounted to 2,3631. 18s. Every day the assemblage wears a more countryfied aspect, and is more popular in its character, so that the tatting off in the attendance is less easy to account for. Until now the weather might have been pointed to as the cause, but the decline is so steady that even this tx plantion ceases to be satisfactory. Perhaps, after all, the Multitude have found out that there are limits to the numbers which the Cr) stel Palace can accommodate with comfort, so as to see properly its varied wonders. The presence of charity children still continues to form an agreeable feature ot each day's incidents. Yester day the girls of St. Olave's school were enabled to go there by the liberelity of Mr. ex-Sheriff Pilcher, and the trustees of the Broad-street Ward School also treated their scholars to an inspection of the interior. Her Majesty the Queen, accompanied by his Royal Highness Prince Albert, the King of the Belgians, and their respective suites, visited the Exhibition yesterday morning, at. their usual early hour. They first inspected the Zoliverein compartment, the most attractive fea tures of which were pointed out to them by M. von Viebahn. Thence they passed into the division of Northern Germany, and thence again into that ot Russia, where they were received by M. Kamensky and M. Nottbeck. The illustrious party were attended during their stay by Mr. Cole. Not the slightest incon venience or crowding arose from the admission of the public before their departure. WEDNESDAT.—Msjor-General his Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge inspected the 12th Lancers at Winchester, prior to their embarcation at this port in hired freight-ships for the C'pe.

Mr. Kidd has just taken up the cudgels, in a spirit of rue humanity, on behalt ot that troublesome and an :io)ing race of summer visitors—flies. Not that he de precates their desiruction, quite the contrary; but he proves to a demonstration I,ow cruelly they are " tor uri d," before they are killed by those fearful engines ot pver.! Mr. Kidd thus writes in the Gardentrs' Chronicle, of June 21, on this new invention retinvi barbarity; and n, one who has ever witnessed •he '• action" of it, can disprove one syllable of the, statement:— _ _ " FLY PAPERS.—Your correspondent' Curiosus' has, in his z-al to prat-et the • poor inventor of the fly pspers,' not only • o'erstepped the modesty of nature,' in 4m:opting to [stove too much, but he has put as inter pretation on my remarks perfectly unwarrantable.

IPSWICH, WEDNESDAY,—The annual meeting of this association commenced here this morning. This is the 21st anniversary, and upon no occasion since its birth in 1830 up to its maturity, or " be coming of age," in 1851, have any of its meetings been attended with so much interest as the present. The attendance of the illustriou s Prince who is earning for himFelf an imperishable name as the pro moter and patron of the arts and sciences, and to whom the country is indebted for the present extra ordinary opportunity of witnessing their practical i development in the palace of wonders n Hyde-park, the expectation that many of the numerous distin guished literary and scientific foreigners now i n England will be present at this meeting—these, toge ther with the fact that there is a strong and fix,. creasing feeling pervading all classes of the comma laity in unison with the objects of the association, will account for the more than usual interest attending this meeting. The objects of the British Association are to give a stronger impulse and more systematic direction to scientific inquiry, to promote the intercourse of those who cultivate science in different parts of the British empire with one another and with foreign philosophers, to obtain more general attention to ob jects of science, and the removal of any disadvantages of a public kind whichimpede its progress.

Yesterday's rehearsal of the new opera, by M. Thalberg, appeared to produce OD all who were pre sent the impression which we, ventured yesterday to record as our own in regard to the musical character of the work to be brought out to-night. A musician who has deservedly acquired the highest reputation, not only with the world at large, but in circles be yond the influence of mere popular applause, was felt to have thrown his full strength into his task— " The first essay of arms untried before." The artists engaged buckled to their duty with that energy which is only called up when real music— as distinct a thing as possible from the result of musical cleverness—is in question, and went through the rehearsal with an earnestness and a precision which foreshadow well the " event" of to-night. We are disinclined to say more in anticipation of what it will, we trust, be our pleasant duty to say to-morrow ; but we may be allowed to make the agreeable announcement that Madlle. Cruvelli (whose honourable exertions to do justice to M. Tbalberg had incapacitated her from appearing in Mon day's concert) has recovered her powers, and re hearsed the arduous part of Florinda with all her natural vigour. There are some admirable " situations" in the drama, which M. Scribe h" furnished, and we much mistake if Cruvelli's acting, as the outraged daughter of Count Julian, 10d the 11 no t victim of Roderic, the " Last of the Goths," x' l ll df surpass her noble personation' of Fid Norma, upon which the habitues are so i e e t n h t tu The young vocalist is now fairly fitted t g nal part, and we do not fear torparpoeprh.esy that she will make it her own.-211orning FREN CH PLAYS' ST.

DUNMOW GAMMON or BACON.—After the lapse of 100 years this gammon of bacon has been claimed by couple in good circumstances, as farmers, at Felsted, Essex, named llurrelt, but, failing to obtain it from the lord of the manor, the inhabitants of Dunmow have procured one by subscription, which will be presented to them, instead of the lord's, on their taking the usual oaths, at Broorohills, near Dunmow, on Wednesday, the 16th of July. The couple will drive on to the ground (escorted by a band of music) in their own carriage and horses. A large number of persons are expected to congregate to witness the ceremony. A Roman Catholic priest has been tried at New York and cast in 1,600 dolls. damages, for seduction. The affair , caused great scandal among all religiousdenominations.
