Protectionist consistency has long been the derision of the multitude. Protectionist candour and fair dealing will now be the abhorrence of those who are the possessors of the elective franchise. Lord GEORGE BIZNTINCK has displayed very conspicuously his in. capacity to continue the leader of any party in the House of Commons raising the most shadowy claim :to political respectability. On Friday the garb of statesmanship so recently assumed by the Noble Lord :the :Member for Lynn was shown, more glaringly t. han ever, to be already threadbare. By the time of th e dissolution it will be hanging about his shoulders in tatters. The thinness, the poverty, the moral NJ:calor of that cloak were on Friday revealed before the eyes of the whole country in the broad g l a re of Lord G EORGE BENTINCK'S shuffling and prevaricating egotism. Instead of battling man fully for the furtherance of his own particular views, with the weapons of logic—instead of striving to command the adoption of his own particular prin ciples, by an earnest perseverance and a forcible enumeration of arguments—instead of leading on the ranks of the Opposition, with the gallant bearing of a plain-spoken politician, Lord GEORGE endeavours to thwart the purposes of the Cabinet, and to embarrass the condition of Parliament, by an ignoble subter fuge, and a discourteous disregard of the common usages of the House. Stung by the majority in . favour of Lord AIORPETR'S sanatory measure, the :.representative of Lynn tried to worst the ictentions of the Administration by abruptly titk 'ling upon the SPEAKER to count the House ,befc, re the adjournment from four o'clock till P.M. Supposing this insidious and paltry trick- Lad succeeded, the Health of Towns Bill must have been retarded, and a day must necessarily have 1. seen lost to public business. Lord GEORGE BENTIi TCK would have made one step towards burping a measu ize which laughs open antagonism to scorn ; ho wouk' have killed a certain portion of the time - which is ji ist now so precious to the empire, and he - would, that Igh in a very trumpery and contemptible manner, be ve thrown the arrangements of the House ,of C omm .= s into a temporary state of confusion. :Had the Aroble Lord succeeded, he would have -.crowed exul tingly at his barn-yard prowess, but we *re satisfied the public would have regarded his petty 'success with indignation. As it is, Lord GEORGE -BENTINCK h. Is failed deplorably ; the partially sepa :rated Membe TS rallied at the attempted count out, and 'tie Member for Lynn was compelltd to satisfy TliE SUN, LONDON, MONDA Y MORN l NG-, JULY 5, 1847. 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. ROE BUCK to Young Ireland, as the masterly elucidation of British interference in Portugal by Mr. MA CAULAY, or as the beautiful and impassioned pane gyric pronounced upon the Liberator by the eloquent lips of Mr. SHEIL. But those celebrated speeches will redound t o t h e h onour of Mr. S IIEIL , of Mr. MA CAULAT, and o f M r. R OEBUCK, w hil e the proceedings of Lord GEORGE BENTINCK can only render him in the public estimation both culpable and ridiculous. Nothing cou ld b e m ore suggestive of the different merits of the Protectionists an d the present Govern ment. While thelsetaednetrhe progressoftheof Cabinet the . Health s makingof every exertion to ha 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 preliminary 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 will 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, would have 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 %las brought for ward 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 com manders 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 BRANSH 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 curred 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, a wide margin, more than six 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 hi disproving of the most weighty of the charges made against 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, and to ruin and blight the prospects of a meritorious young officer. In our law courts, where a witness was so fully contradicted in one part of his statement, bu little credence would be attached to the residue. I , Vhen the severe and arduous character of the double duties which Mr. YOUNG had been called upon to perform, and the indisposition under which he was suffering, are taken into consideration, we can hardly conceive that his sinking on one occasion to sleep, when worn out by fatigue, is sufficient in itself to warrant so severe a sentence as that which was passed upon him—"dismissal from her MAJESTY'S service.' Most sincerely do we hope that pardon may be ex tended to him for that acknowledged fault, that justice may be tempered with mercy, and that our navy may not be deprived of the services of a gentle man who appears to have cond uc t e d hi mse lf s i nce h e _ _ joined, with that one exception, in a manner 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 eba- racter should be preserved. Our officers should not be turned into cringing slaves in the earlier part of heir 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 atter. 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 bound to render to their superiors. News from Greece up to the 20th ultimo inclu sively has been received by the Levant mail. Satisfaction is expressed by the Moniteur Grec, at the circ ums t ance that a pro.pective recon6liation is visible i n th e intelligence just then arrived from Constantinople. Without placing any implicit re liance upon the sincerity of Prince METTERNICH in the negotiation of a peace-making between the Sublime Porte and King OTHO, the Government organ is rejoiced at the probable termination 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 P Courier at the unconstitutional efforts being made by COLETTI and his colleagues to bias the people in i favour of their own particular candidates. The spirit of faction was running high, and the evil influences of that spirit were being exaggerated through the instrumentality of the French representative. IMP} ;RIAL PARLIAMENT.

ORITISII FUNDS° 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 BEDERIIAN 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-CoNsorr 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 could 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 hPr 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 at si; 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 IIOMET ALI would this year visit Italy ; we learn, however, that the Viceroy has renounced this inten tion."

Wednesday next, the 7th instant, is definitively fixed for the trial of General CUDIER ES and his pre surned accomplices. As the acle d'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 1)a 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 rotes 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. MALGAIGN N fifty-two more than on Tuesday-258 for M. BERTRAND— twenty-nine more than on Tuesday ; and 214 for M. H.ORACE 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 nut declared before the departure of our dispatches. The debate in the Chamber of Peers was continued, on Wednesday, on the Medical Reform Bill, am 1 would possibly be brought to a conclusion on Friday . It is stated that the following are among the mos t remarkable and conspicuous provisions of Pari s and Chartres Railway Bill, as corrected by th 3 Corn - mittee :—lt authorises the Minister of Public Work :s to regulate in the following manner the repa:•ment i)f the loan of five millions made by the State to tl to Versailles (Left Bank) Railway Company. To th at amount of capital will be added the interest on th at sum at 4 per cent. from the day when the money w as 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 B ill 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 steed. 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 con formity with the provisions of the Bill of June 21, 1846, with, however, the following modifications:— I)iU.O, 3mall CLOSING 197 1137 a 9 116 19 14 I,;p 20p ONE CLOt:' , tt O'C nat.'

" At the departure of the mail from Oran," says the Moniteur Algerean of the 25th ult., "news had been received of a check given by ABM.EL-KADER to the force 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 ,rifling importance.

ALLEGED MURDER IN SEVEN DIALS.—On Friday afternoon Mr. Bedford held an inquest at Charing•cross Hospital on the body of Edward Meads, aged 36, a brass finisher, 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 was heard in the room they inhabited, after which Mary Grantotn came out of it with a knife in her hand, and the deceased was found with a severe wound in his side. Mr. George M. Young described the nature of the injury the deceased had received. He died at half-past two on Wednesday morning. The deceased told witness that his wife did not stab him, but that he did it himself by falling on tbQ knife he held in his hand. The jury re turned a verdict of "manslaughter" against Mary Aun Grantom, alias Meads. ROYAL MILITARY ACADEMY.—Lieut. J. D.

We have received the following iniormation from a source on which we place the utmost reliance :—" Queen has taken Laggan from the Marquis of Abercorn for the shooting season, The Court will remain there from the beginnin,, ,, of August to the beginning of September. Iler Majesty, it is understood, will visit Inverness on b(r way to Dunrobiu, the second wet 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 iu 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 Qua en, and from Ben Nevis to Ben More, in Assynt, the whole population will be poured forth to cheer every step of the royal pro • gress. It is now two hundred and eighty-five years since Mary Queen of Scots visited Inverness, and no other British Sovereign has since penetrated into our northern 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 Marquis of Abercorn stands on the margin of Loch Laggan, at Arc'. vreckie, on the property of Cluny Macpherson. " The scale on which this lodge is erected," says the author of the Statistical Account, " may be inferred from the fact that it is taxed for sixty windows." The interior accommodation is of the most splendid description, and Mr. Edwin Land. seer, in one of his visits 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 the neighbourhood, is picturesque and romanti cn the highesthhis favourite degree. fi Prince eld s Albert ports. will n also have ample scope for ad dition to Laggan, the Marquis of Ab ercorn possesses the adjoining ground of Glensheiro, the property of Evan Baillie, Esq., on which there is also a handsome lodge. The extent of his Lordship's Highland shootings may be gathered from the fact, that his rental is very nearly 2,0001. per annum—the deer-forest alone being let for 1,3621. SPORTING INTELLIGENCE.

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 Governor, Sir Patrick Stuart, bad, in consequence 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• ment 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 stoppage has 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 i n W oo d- street .

Einsou,—You have favoured your readers with a good likeness of Eliza Cook ; but there exists a far better portrat—sketebed, 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 delieht, and treasuring wi!li care, the ieseellent ens - avie re r whieli makes her ac hone in their deeilines, I wouli 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 . lessons 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. its source; emanation is iesgnificant compared with but it leads us towards that seurce. Even a soitary ray alight guides the gaze to the sun. The perception of in iividud 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. Thin philosophising, which almost every reader practises, 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 hook 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, compositor s , ink balls, folding, a n d s ti tc 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 make 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 a field beyond. True, her imagination will sometimes soar with the lark above the clouds • or skim the ocean, in cal m 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, with the " Old Straw Hat," and she is musing on childish times, when she swung on the " Farm Gate," or wore " Red Shoes," and played at "Tom Tidier'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 beep enumerated that suggeste&.to a critic• in a splenetic mood the not very felicitous aarcasin 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 defyingly, And if one hay-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 associations, the reply is ready. The choice is a championship 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 homme) was astonished that he had spoken prose all his life without knowing it. The millions find that they have breathed an atmosphere 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, perhaps the most of all, to true delicacy and refine ment of feeling. Miss Cook's published works may 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 vein 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,"-- Old songs, old 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 earliest truth and real joy ; Me warmest feelings wander back. TO greet " Tom Bowline" and " Poor Jack;" And, oh! " Will Watck," the " smuggler" bold, My plighted troth titou'lt ever hold! I doated an 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 " Soots wha hae wi' Wallas* 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 that since has broken out; For I would wander far and lone, And sit upan 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 wines o'er sleeping waters roll. 'Twas done—the volume was unsealed— The hallowed mission was revealed. Old somas called up a kindred tone; An echo started—lavas 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 1 who shall say the ballad line That stirs the heart is nut ! And where's the heart that would not dare To place such song beside the prayer? I have dwelt chiefly on the songs of Eliza Cook, because they are her Inuit characteristic compositions; an I those in which she renders the most peculiar and valuable service to our popular literature. England is not, like Scotland, or Ireland, a laud of song. Our poverty, in this respect, lists Wen obvious and de- --- FASHIONS FOR JULY. (From the London and Paris Ladies' 11 agazine of Fashion.)

Poetry began her work in the world by chaunting oracles and laws, aisurning to be the voice of God to man, dictating his ilolitics and religion. And then she sang of savage wars, the is hod( 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 lov e o f s h epherds. In minstrel guise, she entered baronial halls, recitin g legends of the feats of feudal chiefs. Half turnin g 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, inits 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 ofreast might keep the lure 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 remi-mber they come from the Infinite Band, ; And shall Man, littleness, 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 rise, to the star-drops that fall, We should see but one purpose, and nothing in vain. ELIZA COOK. ROYAL ITALIAN OPERA, Ck )VEN T- GARDEN. A second morning concert of vocal and instrumental music was given at this theatre on Friday. The per_ torn:lance commenced with Rossini's Stabat Mater, which was executed with all the effect to be expected from the distingui.shed artistes, the magnificent chorus, and incomparable orchestra of that establishment. The opening quartette, Stabat Ma!er dolorosa," was sung by Mettles. Alboni and Corbari, Signors Lavia, un d Tugliafico.. who .was preven te d b y i llness from appearing at th e l as t concert, gave the " Cujus Animate'. in his Usually unrivalled' style. This was follawed by the dive°, "'Quis est'Herno?" sung with delicious effect by Madame Ri;nconi and Mdlle. Alboni, and which was greatly applauded. The " Pro Peccatis " and " Eia. Nlater," by Taniburini, were given with great effect. The quartett, " Sancta Mater," by Alboni, Corbari, Mario, and Tagliafico, obtained its just /need of applause. The airs, "Fee ut Portern," by Alboni; and " Inflammatus,' by Grisi; and the quartett, "Quando Cor," by Grisi, Alboni, Mario, an d Tareburiiii, were each e pus ncored. The finale, " Amen," was splendidly executed. A grad tniseellaneous concert succe e d e d, o f w hi c h the following is the programme : — O verture—Leonora Duo. S gnor Marini and Signor Rovere, "La di lei storm." (Chi ara di Rosenberg) Ricci. Aria, Madame Lonconi, " Ilavvi un Dio." (Maria di Rohan) Doeizetti. Duo, Madame Persiani and Signor Salvi " Egli m'odia." (Lucia di Lammermoor) Donizetti. Seranata, Signor Mario and Coro. " Coin' e gentil." ................. (Don „ Pasquale) Donizetti. Duo, Madam e G r i s i and Mdlle. Alboni " Ebben ato ferisci.'' ( Semi, urnide) Rossini. Romanaza, Signor Ronconi, " Ah non avea pia lagrime." (Maria di Rudenz) Donizetti. Terzetto, Signor Sal v i, S ignor R overe, and Signor Marini, " Papatacci." (L'ltaliana in Algieri) Rossini. Beethoven's Grand Battle Sinionia 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 the violins, were most effective ; an encore was loudly and deservedly called for, but was decliced. The duet by Marini and Rovere was sung with great spirit and hu mour. Madame Ronconi sung the aria allotted to her with much effect, and was deservedly applauded. Madame Persiani's and Signor Salyi's duet, from Lucia di Lammermoor, was rendered with considerable taste and skill. Mario's serenade, " Corn' a gentil," was sung with his usual taste, and called forth an instantaneous encore. But the gem of the entire performance was the celebrated a d te uet from sci Semira m id e , b y G risi and Alboni, " E feri," v;nich was executed in such a manner as to produce a perfect furore. The Giorno d'Orrore !" was rendered with the most ex quisite beauty and expression, and was truly a treat for the musical amateur, such as is rarely to be experienced. Ronconi's Romania 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 Revere, was sung,. with much effect. Illness, it was understood, prevented Madame Pet siani from singing the air which was an. tiounced for her from L'Eliszr d'Amore. The perferme ante concluded by the " Battle Sintonia," which, su c h as it is, was superbly executed by the orchestra, accom- Apanied by two military bands, arranged on the stage. s a composition we cannot say much in its praise ; an the only porti ons w hi c h seemed to interest the audienced were the “ Rule Britannia" at the commencement, and God save the Quet n" at the conclusion, which was magnificently performed by the three bands, and at which, the entire audience rose simultaneously. The house waa literally crowded in every part.
