JULY 5. 1847. Protectionist consistency has long been the derision of the multitude. Protectionist candour, and fair be the abhorrence of those wh o are dealing will now the possessors of the elective franchise. Lord GE . oa . oo BENTINCK has display ed ver y conspicuously his in capacity to continue the leader of any party (la party in .in the Rouse of Commons rais i ng the most so to political respectability. On Friday the garb of statesynapAhip so recently assumed by the Noble Lord the mor 2,l, ,inber for Lynn was shown; ej.glaringly than ever, to be already threadbare. By the time of the dissolution it will be hanging a bout his shoulders in tatters. The thinness e moral , the p o verty, she of tha t croak were on FritiflV revealed before the ey Bof tuuotry b ` / " . '" l4 glare of Lord GEORGE BENTINCICS shuffling and prevaricating egotism. Instead of bat ling man fully for the furtherance of his own partic lag views. with , the weapons of logic—instead of I command the adoption of his° own partii ciples, by an earnest perseverance and enumeration of arguments—instead of leas ranks of the Opposition, with the gallant a plain-spuken politician, Lord GEORGE eni thwart the purposes of the Cabinet, and to the condition of Parliament, by an igno triving-: to bular prin ja forcible ling on the baring of deavours to t embarrass ale subter- fuge, and a dis courteous disregard of the common usages of the ;House. Stung by the majority in favour of Lord Ai ORPETEI'S Sanatory measure, the representative of Lynn tried to worst the inte:tions of tie Administration by abruptly callin g upon the .SrnAKEn to count the House before the adjournment from four oclock till five, P.M. Supposing this insidious and paltry trick !lad succeeded, the Health of Towns Bill must have been retarded, and a day must necessarily havfl been lost to p!_lblic business. Lor l GEORGE BENTINCK would have made one step toga, ds bur/41. ' 1 g a measure which lau.ais open zntagoni,rn to scorn ; he would h ave kil e d a certain portion oil' the time which is just now so precious to the empire, and he would, though in a very trumpery and cc ntemptible manner, have thrown the arrangements ofi the House or (..:otrnons into a temporary state of Had the Nolble Lord succeeded, he w crowed exultingly at his barn-yard prowe are satisfied the public would have regards confusion. lould have o.s, but we d his petty 1.. _._ success with indigmLtion. As it is, Lo; GEORGE BENTINCIE failed deplorably; the partially sepa rated Mernbe rs rallied at the 'attempted count out, and the Member for Lynn was compellt d to satisfy _him self with the barren credit of having in vain violated the implied, if not expressed, rules of the House of Commons. These incidents must inevitably " tell" at the general election. The constituencies will be no better able to forget how the nominal leader of the Protec tionists proposed to appease the famine in Ireland by laying down so many miles of cold iron in the shape of Railroads, than they can lose a recollection ' of his abortive effort at counting the House out, in the hope of strangling the Health of Towns Bill, and embarrassing the close of the present Parliamentary session. The fantastic tricks of Lord GEORGE BEN- TINCK will survive as vividly in the recollection of the country as the memorable taunts of Mr. Ron- BUCK to Young Ireland, as the masterly elucidation of British interference in Portugal by Mr. MA.. CAULAY, or as the beautiful and impassioned panegyric pronounced upon the Liberator by the eloquent lips of Mr. SHELL. But those celebrated speeches will redound to the honour of Mr. SHELL, of Mr. MA CAULAY, and of Mr. ROEBUCK, while the proceedings of Lord GEORGE BENTINCK can only render him in the public estimation both culpable and ridiculous. Nothing could be more suggestive of the different merits of the Protectionists and the present Govern ment. While the leader of the Cabinet is making every exertion to hasten the progress of the Health of Towns Bill through Parliament, the leader of the Agricultural Monopolists is striving to quash that measure altogether, or, at the least, to procrastinate the period of its enrolment on the statute-book. The Prime Minister takes the social necessities of his countrymen into serious consideration. The repre sentative of Lynn considers only the possibility of thwarting a Government of which he is not a portion, no matter whether by so doing he endangers the health or the happiness of the community. Although we cannot possibly regard the Bill intro duced by Lord MORPETH as other than a prelim.lnary to some more bold and comprehensive measure, and although we are especially disappointed at the omis sion of London from the influence of the proposed enactment, we are grateful to the Cabinet for the ardour evinced in behalf of the neglected million by hurrying through Parliament a measure of a charac ter so peculiarly generous and benevolent. The channels are being dug—before long the waters Rill irrigate the moral wilderness of the population. The courts-martial which have just taken place at Portsmouth on two of the officers of the Lily will be perused with considerable interest. They strongly illustrate the position which may be assumed towards his subordinates by a captious commander, and the utter impossibility for even the most zealous and efficient in the discharge of duty to escape from the multitudinous snares and pitfalls by which he is sur rounded, if his superior should wish to make him a victim, and to sacrifice his professional prospects. They also exhibit the strong reliance that must have been placed on the well-known feeling of naval courts-martial to support the commanding officer in every instance, and under almost any circum stances. No person who was not thoroughly satisfied of the extent of that feeling, and the extraordinary lengths to which it has been carried, A-, uld hare dared to suspend his brother officer from duty and to keep him under arrest for so long a period as seventeen months, on charges such as those which were preferred, and supported by such ridiculously trifling evidence as that which was brought forward to sustain them. For once we are rejoiced to find that the system has received a check. A judgment has been pronounced in the case of Lieutenant BRANCH that we trust will have no trifling effect in henceforward preserving deserv ing and meritorious officers from persecution such as he has encountered, in proving to tyrannical corn wanders that there is a limit which they cannot transgress, and that so long as their junior officer discharges with propriety the duties of his station, so long will he be protected, although he might have had the misfortune to incur the animosity of the despot under whom he is placed. The Court not only fully and honourably acquitted Lieutenant BRANCH, but declared the charges to be frivolous and vexatious, and the President, at the conclusion of the proceedings, stated " that he was directed by the Court to express the pleasure they felt in returning a sword of which he had been so long and so unjustly deprived." In the present case Lieutenant BRANCH was most fortunate in being enabled to produce the highest testimonials as to his character and ability, alike creditable to him as an officer and a gentleman, from a number of most distinguished officers under whom he had served from his first entrance into the navy. He was fortunate in being able to produce direct evidence to establish the real facts as they oc curre i on each of the three occasions which were definitively fixed on by his accuser in support of the rather vague charge " that he was on several occasions between the 9th day of October, 1845, and the 11th day of May, 1846, highly insubordinate and disre spectful to his superior officer." Here was, indeed, i a wide margin, more than *ix months, out of which to discover any instance of what might be tortured ' into disrespect or insubordination. In our civil tri bunals it would be considered most unfair to require a prisoner to answer such uncertain accusations. He should know clearly and explicitly what it was that he was called on to rebut and disprove, the specific instances of misconduct should be fully set forth, but there is no such protection for the party brought to a court martial ; he cannot know what will be produced against him until it is actually given in evidence, and consequently he may be wholly taken by surprise, and unable to establish his innocence, as he might have done, if fully apprised of the particulars about to be brought against him. Mr. YOUNG, late master of the Lily, was less for tunate than his brother officer. Unhappily for him his trial took place in the first instance, and before the Court was fully aware of what his commander considered to be disrespectful, as evidenced in the'fol lowing case, and while yet his credit was unshaken. True it was that he succeeded in disproving of the most weighty of the charges made again-t him for the transaction of the 21st April. He established by the evidence of his brother officers that his commander was in error in asserting that he was in any degree inebriated on the occasion. His commanding officer had falsely accused him in that which was capable of refutation. But no witness was present at the interview in the cabin. The commander asserted that he was drunk and disrespectful ; it was proved, to use the mildest language, that he was mistaken in the first part of the charge, and yet his uncorro borated assertion is suffered to prevail, an d to ru i n and blight the prospects of a mer i tor i ous young officer. In our lavecourts, where a witness was so fully contradicted in one part of his statement, but little credence would be attached to the residue. imn tlie severe and arduous character of the double duties which Mr. YOUNG had been called upon to perform, and the indisposition under which he w as u ffering, are ta k e n into consideration, we can ha rdly s conceive that his sinking on one occasion to sleep, when worn out is sufficient in itself to warr ant so severe a bYsentencefatigue, is as that which was passed upon him—"dismissal from her MAJESTY'S Service." t M en o d st ed sin t hope that pardon may be ex acknowledged fault, that mercy, and that our justice may be tempered with . sincerely do we services of a gentle mane that n avy may not be deprived of the . himself since he who apps to have conducted joined, w i t h that one exception, i n a mann er highly creditable to himself, and such as to merit and receive the approbation of the several officers under whom he was placed. We are fully aware of the absolute necessity of a strict adherence to discipline, and that an inviolable respect should be observed towards every superior officer ; but the independence and manliness of cha racter should be preserved. Our officers should not be turned into cringing slaves in the earlier part of their career, or into tyrannical autocrats in the later. And essential as it is to preserve the greatest subor dination in the former, it is still more essential to re_ press anything like tyranny or oppression in the latter. We trust that the cases which have just oc curred will not be lost sight of by the authorities, but that advantage may be ultimately derived from them, and that all officers may be impressed with the idea that they owe a duty to their juniors and the men placed under their charge, no less. important than that which they are buund to rend?r to their superiors. Ntws from Greece up to the 20th ultimo inclu sively has been received by the Levant mail. Satisfaction is expressed by the Llfoniteur Gree, at the circumstance that a prospective reconciliation is visible in the intelligence just then arrived frour, Constantinople. Without placing any implicit re liance upon the sincerity of Prince METTERWI CH in the negotiation of a peace-making between the Sublime Porte and King OTHO, the Government organ is rejoiced at the probable torraination of this deplorable misunderstanding. Every one interested in the political position of the kingdom was alert when the intelligence started respecting the approaching elections ; and no incon siderable chagrin was expressed by the Athens Courier at the unconstitutional efforts being made by COLETTI and his colleagues to bias the people in favour of their own particular candidates. The spirit of faction was running high, and the evil inflitences of that spirit were being exaggerated through the instrumentality of the French representative. Accounts from Constantinople to the 17th ultimo, bring little more of interesting news respecting the arrangements about to be effected between the Otto man Porte and the King of GREECE. News had reached the capital from Kurdistan of the most disastrous character, declaring that the Turks had suffered a loss of either 3,000 or 4,000 men in a conflict with the marauding mountaineers. Van was described as garrisoned by a large body of the rebels, under BEDERHAN BEY, and it was believed that that stronghold could not be wrenched from their possession saving by a most sanguinary bombard ment. Our intelligence from Madrid is up to the 26th ultimo. According to the Correo the Cortes will not be convoked before the ensuing October. The same journal states that a compromise has been effected with the Bank of San Fernando, whereby the ad vances recently made to the Government will be in a great measure rendered secure. While the Faro has repeatedly asserted that the misunderstanding between her MAJESTY and the KING-CONSORT has been sedulously aggravated for their own benefit by members of the Administration, the Union, an organ of the Cabinet, protests that, on the contrary, the Government have used every device they eould conjecture for the purpose, if possible, of removing all impediments to a permanent and speedy reconciliation—without effect, of course, without the feeblest glimmering of effect. The reports that Don FRANCISCO, the uncle of her Most Catholic MAJESTY, was about to leave the capital appear to be dying away; and all the mysterious in ferences deduced therefrom are disappearing in like manner. The Three per Cents. were done at 30 for cash the Five per Cents. at 17k; the Debt without Interest a 511; and the Coupons at 15. Paris papers of Thursday have been duly received. " We lately announced," says the Presse, " on the authority of the Semaphore of Marseilles, that MA HOMET ALL would this year visit Italy ; we learn, however, that the Viceroy has renounced this inten- 1: SUN, LONDO IVIONDAY MORNING, JULY 5, 1847. tion." Wednesday next, the 7th instant, is definitively fixed for the trial of General CUBIERES and his pre sumed accomplices. As the acte cr accusation was transmitted to the four individuals accused on the Thursday by the Court of Peers, and as the custo mary time permitted them by the law before they are compelled to plead is the interval of five days, the trial must positively be delayed until Wednesday. The second ballot for the three candidates for the fourth arrondissement of Paris has been as unproduc tive of a termination to the contest as the preceding one. According to the pre-announced arrangement that second ballotting took place on Wednesday, the number of votes being 843—fifteen less than on the foregoing afternoon. M. FLANDIN having retired as we announced yesterday, the ballotting was as follows : 369 for M. MALGAIGNE fifty-two more than on Tuesday-258 for M. BERTRAND— t wenty-nine more than on Tuesday; and 214 for M. HORACE SAY —being only seventeen more than on Tuesday. M. SAY had consequently retired. A third ballot between the two remaining candidates had taken place on Thursday, but the result was not declared before the departure of our dispatches. The debate in the Chamber of Peers was continued on Wednesday, on the Medical Reform Bill, and would possibly be brought to a conclusion on Friday. It is stated that the following are among the most remarkable and conspicuous provisions of the Paris and Chartres Railway Bill, as corrected by the Com mittee :—lt authorises the Minister of Public Works to regulate in the following manner the repayment of the loan of five millions made by the State to the Versailles (Left Bank) Railway Company. To that amount of capital will he added the interest on that sum at 4 per cent. from the day when the money was paid until the promulgation of the present Bill ; likewise the interest at 3 per cent. on the new capital, from the promulgation of the present Bill to the opening of the Chartres line, and three years afterwards. The total thus formed shall be paid back to the State with 3 per cent. interest, in 60 equal annual payments, from the period just stated. This regulation, however, cannot be consented to until after the union of the two Versailles companies on the basis already determined on. The companies, when united , are to lay down the iron way on the Versailles to Chartres line, and to purchase the working stock. Until Feb. 1, 1848, the Minister of Public Works is authorised to concede direct to the two Versailles companies united the Versailles to Rennes Railway, with branch lines from Le Mans to Caen, and from Chartres to Alencon, in c,:n forrnity with the provisions of the Bill of June 21, 1846, with, however, the following modifications:— 'That tha concessions shall not exceed 75 years for both the main lines and the branches ; and that in case the part of the Paris to Caen be tween Caen and Mezidon shall not be completed when the earthworks of the branch line between Le Mans and Mezidon shall have been finished, the company may execute it of itself, under the surveil lance of the Government engineers, ani shall reap all the benefit of the working until it shall have been paid back by the Caen Company the money so laid out. The length of concession of the Versailles line is to be reduced to the term fixed for the Versailles to Rennes line, without, however, going under seventy-five years from the period of the line between Versailles and Chartres being fully at work. " At the departure of the mail from Oran," say s the Moniteur Algirean of the 25th ult., " news had been received of a check given by ABD-EL-KADER to the farce sent against him by the Emperor of Morocco. The next mail will no doubt bring us the details of this sad event, and of the degree of its Importance. There are as usual many contradictory reports on the subject; one version even states that the Morocco troops had the victory. Be the fact what it may, every precaution has been taken to pre vent such events from being felt in the province of Oran." Otherwise the intelligence from Algeria is of trifling importance.

ALLEGED MURDER IN SEVEN DIALS.—On Friday a fternoon Mr. Bedford held an inquest at Charin g cross l fospital o n the body of Edward Meads, aged 36, a brass finisner, who, it was alleged had died from the effects of a stab inflicted by a woman named Grantom, with whom he cohabited. The particulars of the case have recently appeared in the police reports. From the evidence it appeared that the deceased and the woman had been in the habit of quarreling, and that on Monday last a fight his wife was heard in the room they inhabited, after which Mary Grantom came out of it with a knife in her hand, and the falling oia deceased_ was found with a severe wound in his side.

The object of the sitting to-day was to pass the following Bills through Committee:— THE MILITIA BALLOTS SUSPENSION BILL, and THE CORN IMPORTATION BILL. They were accordingly passed through that stage, and ordered to be reported, the Earl of Shaftesbury acting both as Chancellor and Chairman of Committees. Their Lordships immediately after adjourned, the whole proceedings not having occupied more than three or four minutes. MONEY and COMMERCIAL NEWS. (From The Sun of Saturday Night.) The sales of Cotton at Liverpool yesterday were 8,000 bales, including 2,500 Egyptian, mostly on speculation. American was rather easier. The stock is 759,140 bales, against 437,140 at this time last year. There was but a limited business done in Shares. The market was very quiet. The Bank averages, as made up for the week to the 26th inst., give the following results : Notes issued £23,676 545 Increase 43,970 Rest, increase. 9,965 Public deposits, increase 7 day and other Bills, decrease 9,834 Government securities, decrease 1,041 Other deposits, decrease Notes reserved, decrease Bullion . Increase Active circulation 18,051,015 Increase The state of trade is watched with anxious solicitude, and in the following remarks by Messrs. Wilkinson and Jewesbury, will be found some hints relative to imports, &c., which will serve to give an insight into the proba ble result of the revenue : " The importations of foreign and colonial produce during the past month have again been extensive. The markets have been well supplied, and prices, which at the beginning of the month slightly adv a n ce d, have again receded. Articles of consumption continue in demand, each return showing a large increase over that for the corresponding period of last year. The official returns for the four months, ending the sth May, show an in crease in the total value of exports of 475,1691. on the month, and 284.1111. on the four months, as compared with the previous year. " From the manufacturing districts the accounts wear a more favourable aspect; and it is expected that as the prospect of a good harvest becomes more certain, from the very fine weather we now enjoy, combined with the continued fall in the price of wheat, will produce a good demand for the home trade.

We have received the following information from a source on which we place the utmost reliance :—" the Queen has taken Laggan from the Marquis of Abercorn for the shouting season. The Court will remain there from the beginning of August to the beginning of Inverness September, on her ile way Her Majesty, it i s un d erstoo d , w il l v i s i t to Dunrobin, the second wei k in S ptember, coming down the Caledonian Canal from Fort William." Nothing, we trust, will occur to interfere with these arrangements. The royal visit will afford unbounded gratification to all the Queen's loyal subjects in the Highlands, and the proposed route will enable her Majesty to see some of the finest scenery in the Highlands. We may anticipate for the royal party a magnificent " gathering of the clans." Since the days of the fiery cross, no such rallying cry has been heard as the name of the Qte en, and from Ben Nevis to Ben Afore, in Assynt, toe whole population will be p oure d f ort h t o c he e r every step of the royal pro I gre,s. It is now two hundred and eighty-five years since Mary Queen of Scots visited Inverness, and no other British Sovereign has since penal-at...a t.st.r. —. Liu, Luern region. Mary found the gates of Inverness Castle shut against her entrance ; for the Earl of Huntly had then organised a powerful confederacy in opposition to the Crown. Queen Victoria has fallen on calmer and hap pier days. All gates will be thrown open on her approach, and from hall and cottage—from Dunrobin Castle down to the meanest hut on the mountain side—there will be heard only one voice of generous loyalty and affection. The shooting lodge of the Maritans of Abercorn " stands on th e margin of L oc h Laggan, at Ard vreekie, on th e property o f Cluny Macpherson. The scale on which this lodg e is erect,d, says the author of t h e Statist i ca l Account, " may be inferred from t h e fact that it is taxed for sixty windows." Th e i nterior accom modation is of the " most splendid description, and Mr. Edwin Land seer, in one of his vi.its to the north, graced the walls of some of the rooms with the fruits of his inimitable genius. The situation of the lodge; and the whole of t h e neig gree. Prince Albert w i ll also hbourhood, is picturesque and romantic in the highest de have ample sc o p e for his favour i te field sports. In ad dition to Laggan, the Marquis of Abercorn po s s e sses the adjoining gr oun d of Glensheiro, the pr o perty of Evan Buillie, 11,q., on which there is also a handsome ledge. j The extent of his Lordship's Highland, shootings may be gathered from t h e fact that his rental is very nearly 2,000/, per a nnu 1,3621. annum—the d e er-forest alone being let for ACCIDENT IN WHI TECIIAPE L—.On Thursday after noon. shortly a f ter two o ' clock. an occurrence o f a most fearful character, nearly attended with a serious sacrificeof life, occurred in S omerse t-street, Whitechapel. It o• appears that a I r -ty chimney connected with the range of premises in the occupation of Messrs. Bowman and Suns, 27, '3reat Alie-street, suddenly broke in half, and the immense weight of bricks fell upon the roofs of the houses numbered 3 and 4, in Johnston's - court , Somerset street. For so me t i me it was feared that several parties had been buried in the ruins, but happily none was hurt, with the exceptio n o f a child, who was badly injured and removed to the Lo n d on Hospital, w h ere i t rema i ns i n a very precarious state. No cause can be assigned for the falling of the chimney, which was always considered perfectly safe. foe wi.ole of the " navvies" employed at Baker's cutting, Yeovil, on the Wilts, Somerset, and Weymouth line struck for wages on Saturday.

RESIGNATION OF THE GOVERNORSHIP OF MALTA.- -Letters from Malta of the 24th of June announce that it is currently reported in that island that his Excellency the Govei nor, Sir Patrick Stuart, bad, in cons quence of having been refused a month's leave to visit Italy, on the plea of ill health, respectfully tendered his resigna tion. His Excellency has laboured for some weeks under an attack of dysentery, which constrains him to the step he is said to have taken. The Maltese are anxious to have a civilian appointed to succeed him, and it is not improbable their wish will be gratified. A considerable heaviness was produced in the Money-market on Friday afternoon, by the announce went of the failure of the banking-house of Messrs. Clayton and Co., of Preston. It is an old firm, and the parties connected with the house have always been much respected, but the stoppag3 hat , not excited much surprise among those connected with the same part of the coun try. The amount of the liabilities of the house has not yet been ascertained. Other failures were spoken of, but the only one which we could trace was one which occurred some days ago in Wood -street. ROYAL SURREY ZOOLOGICAL GARDENS.—A novel and attractive exhibition took place at these gardens o Fii :ay. The Siege of Gibraltar was represented by day-light for the gratification of the juvenile visitors. The idea was a happy one, and the eff, ct produced on the occasion was much finer than might have been ex pected, showing if anything that a daylight performance has advantage over that given at night. VAUXHALL GARDENS.—The first juvenile fele of the season was given here on Thursday nigh . The genial weather, win a %tn. arraeged oil, co ll e cted a large amount of visitors ; and, in addition to the pro gramme, the Turn: n. Family three inteies'ing chil dren—played some popular compositions on the harp, violin, and violoncello. The eque•trian talent of blu ewe earoone elicited great appt.use in the Rotunda. Th. atre ; added to which were the fireworks, cone. It, and illuminations. The latter were on a berate of unusual splendour. ELIZA COOK'S POETRY. (Fr..in the Dispatch ) MR. EDITOR,—YO U have tdvoured your rea(!ers With a good liken.ss of Eliza Cook ; hut there exists a far better portrait—sketched, though unconsciously, by herself; and delineating, not indeed the external, but the mental features of the popular poetess. Her truest portrait is in her lyric compositions ; and while thousands are receiving with delight, and treasuring with care, the excellent engraving which makes her at home in their dwellings, I would stimulate them to make her at home also in their minds and memories, and to read her works not only for the enjoyment of particular songs and passages, but so as to realise the intellectual and moral companionship of the writer, and understand and appreciate her character. This is indeed, the noblest work of literature. It gives us, not only L ssons of wisdom, but the friend ship of the wise. No product of the mind is to be compared with the mind itself from which it flowed. The emanation is insignificant compared with its source; but it leads us towards that source. Even a so itary ray of light guides the gaze to the sun. The perception of individual character in a work is the best good we derive from the best work. It renders ' an isolated gratification of taste subservient to the widest and noblest influences on the heart and life. This philosophising, which almost every reader practise., in a greater or less degree, though often without being aware of it until the critic comes with his explanation, is our compensation for the change introduced by the Press—the one small evil in the vast ocean of good created by that invention. A book is in itself a cold thing. To have Plato's Dia logues in print is poor work compared with gathering round the Sage in the groves of Academe, and catch ing from his lips the living accents. " I sing," says the modern Bard, speaking to the eye alone, by the help of type founders, papermakers, compositors, ink balls, folding, a n d s tit c hi ng . Of old, the Bard struck no figurative lyre, nor chaunted with fictitious voice; but his fingers drew forth real melody to the en chanted ear, and his inspired tones went thrilling to the heart. The song and the singer were one, as they have rarely been in later times. For the charm thus lost, we must make up, as well as we can, in other ways. The painter's and graver's art does something ; the reader's mind must do the rest. It is to stimulate the minds of readers to such an opera tion that these criticisms are appended to the portrait bestowed upon your subscribers. Eliza Cook is just the writer to be at home with. and to snake at home with ourselves. The spirit of home pervades her compositions. Every household object has its song; from the kitchen to the garret, and every flower of the adjoining garden, or of the ~Seld beyond. True, her imagination will sometimes soar with the lark above the clouds • or skim the ocean, in calm or storm, to bask in the golden light of oriental regions ; but her " heart untravelled, fondly turns" to home ; and like the lark, from the loftiest flight, she drops into her nest. Yes, there she is ; in " the Room of the Household ;" you may see her by " the Rushlight ;" in the " Old Arm Chair ;" the " Grandfather's Stick" is by, a sacred relic ; she has been gathering " Buttercups and Daisies," .or " Blue Bells in the Shade," or sporting with " Old Pincher;" and the "Murray Plaid" is thrown by, yr ith the " Old Straw Hat," and she is musing on childish times, when she swung on the " Farm Gate," or wore w R e d Shoes," and played at " Tom Tidler's Ground." People send their cards with Mr. and Mrs. Such-an one at home, on such a night ; but Eliza Cook is always at home, and every where, with all who de serve it. The reader that has no relish for her songs ought not to have a home, and has no proper concep tion of the meaning of the word. Her card or motto might be " Poetry at Home." Perhaps it was one of those pieces whose subjects have just been enumerated that suggested to a critic in a splenetic mood the not very felicitous sarcasm of calling these lyrics "Dunstable stuff." And yet the appellation was better than its author intended. The straw hats of Dunstable are very serviceable for a long country ramble. On a warm summer's day they are very pleasant and familiar things ; and they wear very well to the last. If that be a sneer, what would be praise ? False criticism, like the false prophet, unwittingly blesses where it meant to curse. The poetess may sing defyipgly, And if one bay-leaf falls to me. I'll stick it firm and fast in thee, My Old Straw Hat. There are vulgar smatterers who will think such themes "shockingly low:' They can reciprocate no sentiment in a less costly attire than silks and satins. They feel neither poetry nor pathos beneath the Peerage. The muse, as they suppose, only "dwells in marble halls." Everything about her must be Eastern or antique. They are in raptures with the bulbul, and scorn the skylark. In the Cymar they make shift to see more than in English costume. They are profoundly classical in taste, and know the Latin for a three-cocked hat. Any weapon more modern than a spear is spurious in verse. In vain are such people told, but it is the fact, nevertheless, that the wellsprings of all poetry is in the common human heart. It may gush forth and overflow upon the most familiar articles of cottage furniture. All the great poets of classical antiquity were homely. Virgil poetized his farm-yard; with Homer we sit down to heroic cookery and feasting, which show that fingers were made before forks. Transfer this dandyism to the East (of the world, and not of Temple-bar), and Orientalisms are no longer rich and rare. All subjects are elevated, on which poetry alights, and leaves the radiant traces of its footsteps. A song on Irish lumpers may have higher inspiration than one on old Olympus. " The poet," says Byron, " can make a silk purse out of a sow's ear." And if it be asked, why select such topics, when there are many with dignified associatioes, the reply is ready. The choice i s a c h am pi ons hi p of human nature, in its most frequent mode of exist ence. It ministers to the millions, and feeds them with Angel's food. The divine is brought to the cottage door; and tarries there, like celestial guests of old, in the Patriarch's tent. Put an Eliza Cook, by her portrait and her poems, in the homeliest abode, and you give new feelings, a new sense, to its inmates. They look around ; they sing, they weep, they sympathise, rejoice, and hope ; and a glory unperceived before plays over all the fa miliar objects of their habitation. Monsieur Jour dain (in Moliere's comedy of the Bourgeois Gentil honzme) was astonished that he had spoken prose all his life without knowing it. The millions find that they have breathed an a tmosphere of poetry with like unconsciousness. The writer who works this wonder is a public benefactor. The multitude harmonized by song, which comes home to their business and bosoms, realise the fable of Orpheus and the brutes. The homeliest themes are not the least favourable, perbaps the most of all, to true delicacy and refine ment of feeling. Miss Cook's published works ma y be confidently referred to in proof of this fact ; she is never mawkish, affected, or what is called sentimental. The emotion she expresses or excites is always sound and healthy, It has a clear tone, and rings like a bell. There is a sturdy morality in it, often made tender, but never weak, by susceptibility. Happily the tendency of her compositions is not matter of mere speculation. The transported convict, weeping over his tattered copy of " Our Native Song," super sedes or silences a thousand criticisms, and is a nobler trophy than warrior ever won. After that anecdote (vide Preface to " Melaia,") it may be said, as Dr. Johnson said of the "Elegy in a Country Church. yard," "Had Gray written otten thus, it had been vain to blame, and useless to praise him." Gray did not often write like the Elegy; Eliza Cook always writes like " Our Native Song." How delicious is that cluster of reminiscences which makes poetry of an accumulation of ballad titles in the lines on " Old Songs," — Oki songs, ma songs, what heaps I knew, From " Chevy Chase" to " Black-Eyed Sue," From " Flow thou regal purple stream," To "Rousseau's" melancholy " Dream." • I loved the pensive " Cabin Boy," With earnest truth and real joy • My warmest feelings wander back, To greet " Tom Bowling" and " Poor Jack;" And, oh! " Will Watch," the " smuggler" bold, My plighted troth thou It ever hold! I doated on the " Auld Scot's Sonnet" As though I'd worn the plaid and bonnet; I went abroad with " Sandy's Ghost;" I stood with Bannockburn's brave host And proudly toss'd my curly head, With " Scots wha hae wi' Wallace bled." I shouted " Cumin' through the rye," With restless step and sparkling eye; And chased away the passing frown With " Bonnie ran the Burnie down." Here was inspiration. The enjoyment was the pres tige of power. Appreciation was the herald of pro duction. Old songs! old songs! ye fed, no doubt, The flame tkat since has broken out; For I would wander far and lone, And sit upon the moss-wrapt stone, Conning " old songs" till some strange power Breathed a wild magic on the hour; Sweeping the pulse chords of my soul, As winds o'er sleeping waters roll. 'Twas done—the volume was unsealed— The hallowed mission was revealed. Old songs e.lkd uo a kindred tone; An echo started—'twas my own. Joy, pride. and riches swell'd my breast, The " lyre" was mine, and I was blest. Rightly was the vocation construed ; and its real worth and nobleness were justly understood. Oh ! who shall say the ballad line Thlt stirs the heart is not iiivine ! And where's the heart thqt would not dare To place such song beside the prayer? I have dwelt chiefly on the songs of Eliza Cook, because they are her most ch iractern,tic compositions; an t those to which she renders the most peculiar and valuable service to our pel.ular literature. England is not, tike Scotland, or Ireland, a land of song. Our poverty, in this respect, has been obvious and de- pliirable. Anterior to Barry C. irti wall, the prince o English songsters, the name of Dibdin is the most conspicuous. And Dibdin profaned his powers to make himself a recruiting officer for the navy. He var nished over the foul oppressions and cruelties which at that time (the service is wonderfully improved since) made a sailor's lite, to thousaed s , scarce l y endurable, and rendered warty a man-of-war a " floating hell." The cajolery of Dibdin co-operated with the violence of the press-gang. If the discre• pancy between the song and the ship be now much less than it was, we may thank the influence of such prin ciples and feelings as are exhibited in the volumes before us. They have made the old sea songs come true at last. And if it have long been known that " the earth hath bubbles as the water hath," the songs of Eliza Cook, by the side of those of Dibdin, show that the earth also bath pi etry as the water hath ; nor will the land service yield to the marine in all that constitutes the lowliness and power of si.ng. Poetry began her work in the world by chaunting oracles and laws, assuming to be the voice of God to man, dictating his politics and religion. And then she sang of savage wars, the shock of battle, and the slain dragged at the victor's chariot wheels. From scenes of blood she sought relief in the pastoral strain, piping to listening flocks the artless love of shepherds. In minstrel guise, she entered baronial halls, reciting legends of the feats of feudal chiefs. Half turning from the banquet, she crowned the revellers with flowers, that wine and luxury might be restrained from excess by dainty phantasies. Her inspiring voice has ever and anon sounded the march of patriot ism for the assertion of right. And now, thanks to such writers as the one whose likeness we contem plate, she sojourns in cottages and lowly homes, irra diating them by her presence, which, in its influences, makes them, though all the winds of heaven may whistle through their walls, fairer than fabled bowers, statelier than the palace, grander than the castle, and holier than the temple. PUBLICOLA. THERE'S NOTHING IN VAIN. Oh! prize not the essence of Beauty alone, And disdain not the weak and the mean in our way, For the world is an engine —the Architect's own, Where the wheels ofleast might keep the lar g er in play We love the fair valley, with bloom in the shade, We sing of green hills—of the grape and the grain; But be sure the Creator did well when he made The stark desert and marsh—for there's nothing in vain. We may question the locust that darkens the land, And the snake, flinging arrows of death from its eye; But remember they come from the Infinite Hand, And shall Man, in his littlen, as. dare to ask why? Oh! let us not speak of the " useless" or " vile," They may seem so to us—but be slow to arraign: From the savage wolf's cry, to the happy child's smile, From the mite to the mammoth, there's nothing in vain. There's a mission, no doubt, for the worm in the dust, As there is for the charger with nostrils of pride; The sloth and the newt have their places of trust, And the agents are needed, for God has supplied. Oh! could we but trace the great meaning of ALL, And what delicate links form the ponderous chain; From the dew-drops that r i se , to the star - drops that fall, We should see but one purpose, and nothing in vain. ELIZA COOK. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, COVENT-GARDEN. A second morning concert of vocal and instrumental music was given at this theatre on Friday. The per formance commenced with Rossini 's Sic 7 .qt Mater, which was executed with all the effect to be expected from the distinguished artistes, the magnificent chorus, and incomparable orchestra of that establishment The opening quartette, " Stabat Mater dolorosa," was sung by Mdiles. :Mimi and Corbari, Signors Lavia, and Tagliafico. Mario, who was prevented by illness from appearing at the last concert, gave the " Cujus Animam" in his usually unrivalled style. This was followed by the duetio, " Quis est Homo?" sung with delicious effect by Madame Ronconi and Millie. Alboni, and which was greatly applauded. The " Pro Peccatis " and " Eis Mater," by Tamburini, were given with great effect. The quartett, " Sancta Mater," by Alboni, Corbari, Mario, and Tagliafico, obtained its just weed of applause. The airs, "Fac ut Porten)," by Alboni ; and " Inflammatus,' by Grisi; and the quartett, " Quando Corpus," by Grist, Alboni, Mario, and Tamburini, were each encored. The finale, "Amen," was splendidly executed. A grand miscellaneous concert succeeded, of which the following is the programme:— Overture—Leonora t Duo, S gnor Marini and Signor Rovere, "La di lei storia." (Chiara di Rosenberg) Ricci. Aria, Madame Ronconi, " Havvi un Dio." (Maria di Rohan) Donizetti. Duo, Madame Persiani and Signor Salvi " Egli m'odia." (Lucia di Lammermoor) Donizetti. Seranata, Signor Mario and Coro, " Corn' I gentil." (Don Pasquale) Donizetti. Duo, Madame Grisi and Mdlle. Alboni, " Ebben ate ferisci." ......(Semiramid e ) Rossini. Romanaza, Signor Ronconi, " Ah non avea pin lagrime. ' (Maria di Rudenz) Donizetti. Terzetto, Signor Salvi, Signor Rovere, and Signor Marini, " Papatacci." ie ittg/ero Rossi n i. Beethov.n'a Grand Battle Sintonia ...... Beethoven. The execution of the opening overture by Costa's band was truly magnificent. The trumpet point, played be hind the scenes, and the crescendo passage for tha violins, were most effective; an encore was loudly and deservedly called for, but was dcclii ed. The duet bf Marini and Rovere was sung with great spirit and hie mour. Madame Ronconi su.eg the aria allotted to her with much tffect, and was deservedly applauded. Madame Persiani's and Signor Salves duet, from Luck; di Lammermoor, was rendered with considerable taste and skill. Mario's serenade, " Corn' ilgentil," was sung with his usual taste, and called forth an instantaneous encore. But the gem Of the entire performance wa s the celebrated duet from Semiramide, by Grisi and Albonir " Ebben a te ferisci," which was executed in such * manner as to produce a perfect furore. The Giorno d'Orrore !" was rendered with the most ex quisite beauty and expression, and was truly * treat for the musical amateur, such as is rarely to be experienced. Ronceni's Romanza was very ex pressively given, and he was called back at its conclu sion to receive the plaudits of the audience. The trio Papataci," by Salvi, Marini. and Rovere, was sung tsifh much effect. Illness, it was understood, prevented Madame siani from singing the air which was an.. flounced for her irom L' Llisir &Amore. The perform ance concluded by th e " Battle Sinionia," w hi ch, suc h as it is, was superbly executed by the orchestra, sumo eanied by two military heeds, arranged on the s t a ge. As a composition we cannot say much in its praise ; a nd the only portions which seemed to interest the audience were the " Rule Britannia" at the commencement, and "God save the (Net n" at the conclusion, which was magnificently performed by the three bands, and at whicb the entire audie nce rose simultaneously. The house wfo literally crowded in every part. FASHIONS FOR JULY. (From the London and Paris Ladies' Magazine of Fashion.)
