MONEY MARKET AND CO DI Nall MAL INTELLIGENCE. CITY, Two o'Ceocx. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed firm, and prices were well maintained. The gales were estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken by the exporters and speculat9re.. In the Railway Share Market there was no particular alteration, and prices were steady. Tile general business of the port of London last week was not very active. At the Custom House 171 vessels were reported from Foreign, ports, two from Ireland, and there were 128 colliers. The entries outwards were 127, and the clearances 128 west ls, besides 14 in ballast. The improvement which has taken place in the general situation of the .Money Market, and the favourable symptoms still exhibited, induce a belief that the rate of discount in the course of a few weeks will be further reduced. Judging from present indications there is really some cruse for I this sanguine expectation, especially as the bulliou at the bank is accumulating se rapidly, but the ex periense of the past two years has taught us not E to place too much reliance upon the tendency of affairs, while there are yet so many adverse influ ences at work, which at any time may increase and Si checi the amelioration which has commenced. It 1 8 : as about this period last year when the rate of e l discount was 4 per cent., but towards the autumn SI SI the drain o f specie to the East and to the Conti nen% caused a actions diminution to the Bank's Si bullion, and the minimum, gradually rose to 6 and 7 per cent. This efflux has since continue 1, but 54 f ortunately, it is now going on at a reduced scale, and our imports of gold and silver s are in excess of the exports. Thus the - bullion 1 ig increasing, and the consequently improved situa- 2 tion of the establishment is enabling its administra tion to extend their discount operations. If no re rival of the Eastern and Continental demand takes z Place, then a lower range for money may be justly anticipated, and the encouraging harvest prospects here and on the Continent strengthen the impression 2 that 5 per cent., or even a lower point, may be at tained ere long. Besides the favourable turn in the specie movement, the demands upon the Money 1 Market are less numerous, and it is satisfactory E to notice the little encouragement that it is given to new speculative adventure. No sooner bas an intimation of a new Turkish Loan been given than 1( a general condemnation is passed upon the scheme, ► and while this resistance is given to foreign enter- prise, the amendment in monetary concerns is likely to be accelerated. On Saturday there was a fair inquiry for capital, but as the supply is large, accommodation is easily obtained at the Bank rate, and in many cases rather cheaper. The imports of specie last week were 809,9001., and the exports, including those by the Indus, to-day, (the shipments being completed on Satur day) about 670,821/. The Corn Market is again depressed, and Eng lish wheat has declined 3s. per quarter. Even at this reduction it was difficult to effect sales. At the meeting of the Union Bank of Australia to -day, a dividend of 94 per cent for the half-year Was declared, or 19 per cent per annum. The report was favourable, and stated that the net Profits for the half-year were £92,693. The re port was adopted. The English Stock Market opened with a heavy aspect, but theie has since been rather more firm- Ilese, and the tendency in prices is upwards. There are unfavourable rumours relative to the progress of events in India, but they are not generally be )ieeed. Consols for money have been 911 to 92 ; sal for account, 92 to 921. The latter are now 928, I. The New 3 per Cents. are 92 to 921 ; and the Reduced, 91i to 921. Exchequer Bills are 48 . discount to par, and the Bonds, 981, India Bonds were 15s. to 10s. discount. Foreign Stocks are firm, and about the usual amount of business has been done. Turkish 6 per cents. ar e 95k and the 4 per cent. guaranteed l 021 1. S panish Certificates have b een 51 .

Railway shares this morning ruled rather active, and some of the leading lines showed a slight im provement, while in o thers there was a decline. A fair business, h owever , i s re p or t e d. Great Northen, Great Western, and North-Eastern, York, advanced about 58. to 10 s . S ou th-W es t ern , Midl a nd, Ox ford, Wcrcester, and Wolverhampton, and South- Eastern advanced ss. The foreign and colonial lines are dealt in to a considerable extent, and French were considerably improved in value. Great Northern of France advanced 1/., and Paris and Lyons about 21. to 21. 10s. Lombardo-Venetian rose about ss. to 78. 6d. Grand Trunk of Canada improved 11., and East Indian about 103. Mining Shates are inactive, at about previous values. Joint Stock Bank Shares are very quiet, only two transactions being reported, viz., English, Scottish, and Australian Chartered, and Oriental Bank, which realised former rates. In the Miscellaneous Market there is very little doing, but quotations are - r:rm. Australian Agri cultural, and London General Omnibus Company are supported at previous rates.

Business this day Ati.KET NEWS.--(` h 0 D.iy.) CORN EXCHANGE. Only moderato supplies of wheat were on sale in the pro- I vincial markets held on Saturday; yet the demand fer all kinds ruled heavy, at fat thor depressed rates. Spring corn commanded very little attention, and flour was offered on lower terms. Very dull accounts continue to reach us from the Con tinent. Prices have given way, yet there is a fair business doing for shipment to England. la tho United Smtes both grain and flour continue to sell at high rates. Very moderate supplies of home-grown produce were re ceived up to our market last week. The imports from abroad were 17,031 quarters of wheat, 6,122 bailey, 34,660 oats, 20 beans, 817 peas, 21 0 tares, 145 linseed, 740 rapeseed, 40 muster seed, 4,400 sundry seeds, 2,750 sacks and 878 barrels of flour. The arrivals of English wheat fresh up to-day, coastwise and by land carriage, were limited ; but the supply on offer left over from last wrek was rather large. The favourable accounts respecting the crops, and the increased supplies of foreign produce received during the past week, had a mast depressing influence upon the trade. Sales were with difficulty effecte 1, and the transactions reprted were at fully 5e per quarter beneath the currencies of Monday last. There were 50 quarters of new white wheat on sale, grown in Essex; the condition of the samples was bulky and good. About 68s p.ir quarter was obtained for it. We were seasonably well supplied with foreign wheat, and most of the late imports consist of goad useable (pall tie4. The trade was heavy in the extreme, and prices were nominally 3s per qty,rter lavrer than on Monday last. There was no English barley in the market, and the supply of foreign was only moderate. The barley market was steady at late rates. We have to report a slow sale for malt, at last week's prices. There was a large show of foreign oats. Good sound qualities sold steadily, at full prices ; but inferior samples ruled dull. Brans were in moderate supply, and fair request, at last week's currency. New peas were in the market. New white realised 413, new grey, 42a per quarter. The flour trade was heavy, and prices further receded 2d per 8d lbs.

We were again well supplied with foreign stock, for which the demand ruled heavy. Calves, especially, sold at very low prices. Compared with Monday last, the arrivals of beasts fresh up to-day from our own grazing districts were rather limited, and their condition was inferior. Notwithstanding the prevailing hot weather, the beef trade ruled somewhat active, and prices advanced 2d. per Blbs. compared with this ay se unight. The prime lots, which were ver7 scarce, sold at 4s. 6d. per Sibs. The season from the north may be ' considered to have fairly commenced. From Norfolk, Suffolk, Essex, and Cambridgeshire we received 1,250 Scots and short horns; from Lincolnshire, &c., 560 short horns ; from other parts of England, 500 of various breeds ; and 'from Scotland only 12 Scots. There was a falling off in the show of sheep as to num ber, bat their general condition was good, though not to say first rate. All breeds moved off readily, at prices fully equal to those realised on Monday last. The primest old Downs sold at fully 4s. 10d. per 81bs. We were fairly supplied with lambs, in which a steady business was transacted at fully last week's currency, viz„ ss. to 6s. 4d. per 81bs. For calves, the show of which was extensive, the demand ruled excessively heavy, and compared with Monday last, prices gave way 6d. to 10d. per 81bs. The top figure was 4s. 4d. per 81bs.

Cardwell, attended by the'r supporters, having arrived on the hustings, the usual routine business was gone through. The candidates, after their nomination, severally addressed the electors. • Mr. Thackeray was received with great applause. In a short but pithy address, the gifted gentleman addressed the elec'ors ; if he were teturued to Par liament, he should go there free from pledges of any kind, and that he should support the measures he thought best calcuiated to promote the happi ness of the great mass of the population, irrespec tive of the party by whom they might be brought forward. The present state of their representation absolutely called for the ballot—(l0ml cheers) and any measure to reform, not contsiuing a provision to that effect would ba valueless, and not worth accepting. At the conclusion of his address Mr. Thackeray was cheered. Mr. CARDWELL next addressel the electors, amidst a storm of hisses and cheers. A show of hands was called for which the return ing officer declared to be in favour ofMr. Thackeray. This announcement was received with the most enthusiastic cheering. _ _ _ A p/11 war 3 deman lel oa the part of Cardwell. The voting will commence to-morrow morning at eight o'clock.

His Honour did not consider that a sufficient excuse, as a tradesman ought to be able to make out his own accounts, and not trust entirely to another. He there fore adjourned the case sine die, with protection for two months. IN BE WARD. This bankrupt was decribed as of BP?? Church-lane, clock manufacturer, and to-day came up for his cer tificate. ---- - Mr. Bagley appeared for the assignees, and made a strong opposition ; and Mr. Chidley appeared for the bankrupt.

POLICE INTELLIGENCE. (This Day. MARLBOROIJGH-STREET. CHARGE OF EXTORTING MONEY.—This day Henry Wood, aged 22, but who did not look so old, was charged, before Mr. Beadon, with attempting to extort, and with having extorted, various sums of money from Mr. James Ware, proprietor of the Bury (formerly the Albert) coffee-house, No. 20, Berwick-street, Soho. Mr. LewiP, jun., who attended fur the complainant, stated the circumstances of the charge, which was to extort money from his client by accusing him of having committed an indecent assault upon him, as was subse quently detailed in evidence. He observed that the conduct of the prisoner he would show was of a very serious character, and that it was necessary a stop should be put to it. The complainant stated that about two years ago the prisoner first lodged in his house. He continued to do so frequently after that. About a year since he applied for a bed. Complainant told him that hi, beds were all occupied. After some converstation with the prisoner, who remarked that he did not know where to go to, he (complainant) offered him (prisoner) half his bed. In the coulee of the following morning complainant was awoke by the prisoner, who accused him of having taken indecent liberties with him, and he demanded 21., ob serving that unless he did so he would raise up the whole house. Complainant gave 2 sovereigns, and he has givEn him since altogether V. The prisoner has not slept in his house since, but he (complainant) has re ceived some threatening letters demanding money. Mr. Lewis produced the letters, the last of which was dated July 16 last, which casino into the bands of Mr. Gould stone (complainant's partner), and wnich led to the pre sent proceedings. Mr. Gouldstone stated that on Friday in conse quence of the information dbotained in the letter, fetched a constabl3 and arranged with him as to the course to be taken for the apprehension of the prisoner. It was agreed to mark a sovereign. This was done in the presence of Wooller A 401. On the Sunday morn ing witness and the constable went to No. 24, Baldwin street, from which house the letter was directed. Witness saw the prisoner in the street. He observed to him (the prisoner) that he bad a sovereign from Mr. Ware. He knew the prisoner, and had previously mentioned to Lim about having demanded money from the complainant. The prisoner took the sovereign, upon which witness called the constable Wootten, who took the prisoner into custody. The prisoner, in his defence, reiterated the charge. He added that, on the night in question, the complain ' ant said, "If you will not expose me, you shall never want for anything while you are out of work." The prisoner was committed for trial. SOUTHWARK. SCALDING A LA man named Savoury. was charged before Mr. Burcham, the sitting magistrate, with committing a violent assault on his wife. From the evidence of the wife it appeared that on the previous day they had both been drinking and soon after commenced quarrelling, in the course of which the pri soner seized a kettle of boiling water, and threw some of it on her. She hoped the magistrate would only bind him over to keep the peace, as he was a most sober man when he was at work. They were both as bad as the other. Mr. Burcham sentenced the prisoner to two months' imprisonment and hard labour. THAMES, SINGULAR CASE OF HORSE STEALING.- - Josiah Lyall, or Lioell, a marine store dealer, carrying on business iu Browley, Middlesex, who has been repeatedly More the magistrate on the charge upon which he was now arraigned, appeared on bail be'ore Mr. Yardley, charged with being concerned with another man named Cawley in stealing a horse value 251. the property of Mr. Phillip Pound, the contractor of No. 31, Ship-street, Borough.

SCENE IN A CIIIIRCH.—On Sunday last, the spectacle was witnessed in Arnesby church of a whole congregation simultaneously rising and leaving in the middle of divine service. The usual congregation bad assembled in the morning, when Mr. Chapman, the vicar, entered the desk and began to read. The c hurchwarden then stopped forward and proteste d against his going on with T the service. A few words ensued, Mr. Ci.apman daring his interrupter to remov e bim. he latter then turned and left the church, fo llowed by his b ro ther churchwarden and those who bad assembled. There was no sermon. In the evening t he same scene occurred, with this difference, that there was no interruption, the congrega tion remaining until prayers were ended. As soon, h owever , as Mr. Chapm an had g iven out t he text, the who l e co ngregation rose wit h o ne accord , and left the church. Mr. Chapman then closed his book, and abruptly left the pulpit,--Eastern Counties Reread. SPORTING NOTES. LIVERPOOL, NOTTINGHAM, AND STAMFORD. The racing at Liverpool last week was satisfactory enough both with regard to its quality and quantity. Blink Benny was indulged with a mere canter for the Lancashire Oaks, and eppeared to be quite recovered from the effect of the shin soreness which she displayed at Ascot. She galloped strong and well, and she has again superseded Ignoramus in the betting as first favourite for the St. Leger. I had hoped that she wculd have been brought out to oppose Adamas on the Friday, when despite her 91h1. penalty she would have added another item to her long list of successes, for Adamas was totally unfit to run, and seemed in the early part of the race quite incapable of "acting." Thanks to the horse's indomitable pluck, however, Mr. Mellish's odours were landed in triumph. The race for the Liverpool Cup showed that BasLi Bazouk retains all the gameness which he displayed in the spring, and that Mr. Jackson did not pay much too dearly fur his whi-tle when he bought Mongrel. Little R)gerthorpe seems to have lost all form, and the result of the race would not have been effected even if Flatman had " come" earlier with him. Grey Pyrrhus looked wonderfully fit, but he is more suited for a cab stand than a race course. Moose cut up "bitter bad," and did not run within two stone of his trial foz in. The very pretty quarrel wlaich was occasioned by the Clerk of tte Scales' refusal to try Withington with the 21bs. extra, was the only disagreeable circumstance which occurred during the meeting. That Mr. Horsley was wrong not to comply with John Osbornes' request was admitted on all sides, but the objection which was attempted to be started was as frivolous as it was unfounded. The win tye or wrangle principle ought never to be introduced on to our race courses. Lord Glasgow brought out two as good looking youngsters as ever peeped through a bridle, but they broke down in both their races. Will the Glasgow luck never turn ? The meetings for the current week are at Nottingham to morrow and Wednesday, Stamford on Thursday and Friday, and Marlborough on Friday, and they will suffi ciently occupy the attention of turfites until the glorious Goodwood gathering engrosses their time and thoughts. The list of sport issued by Mr. Bradfield is full of pro mise, and if the fields will not be numerically largo the racing will unquestionably be interesting. Seventeen two-yr-olds are nominated for the Robin Hood Stakes. Maggie Lauder showed in such good form at Chelms ford that I shall have no hesitation in trusting her on this occasion. The Nottinghamshire Handicap will not attract many runners to the post. Ring of the Gipsies and Mongrel are the most noteworthy names, and it I were compaltd to " stand " one only, I should pin my faith on the three yr-old. For the Sherwood Handicap I shall select Courtenay and King of Scotland. The C,tstle Handicap may be placed to the credit of Sorceress. The representative of Mes-rs. Barber and Saxon's interest—either Polly Peachum or Princess Royal,—shall do battle for me for the Bo❑ney Park Stakes. For the Nursery Plate I shall again pay my addresses to Maggie Lauder, and for the Forest Plate I shall let my fancy stray to Sorceress and Trabuco. Stamford will be as dull and as pleasant as usual. The probabilities do not require much discussion, for at pre sent they attract no notice. Either Tame Deer or Beech nut will win the Burghley Stakes. York will place the Colleyweston Stakes to Mr. T. Parr's account, and I shall expect Sir Colin to beat Turbit, and the long legged Loyola, for the Stamford St. Leger. The un lucky Polestar may gallop away with the Gold Cup, and in the absence pf Gemma di Vergy, I shall select Turbit for the Kelton Stakes. The two-yrs-old may find it difficult to get out of the way of Huntington for the Welland Stakes. The gathering at Marlborough will be mainly in teresting from the running of Squire Watt for the Savernake Forest Stakes. July 20. A FRESH MAN. ROYAL Tfld MES YACET CLUB. This club closed a prosperous season on Saturday, with a fine match among boats of the fourth class. The entry list, which was extremely full, was as follows:—The Silver Cloud, 8 tons, Mr T. Hewitt; the Emily, 8 tons, Mr. R. Hewitt; the Quiver, 12 tons, Mr. T. Chamberlain; the Undine, 8 tons, Mr. E. Searle ; the Cormorant, 10 tons, Mr. J. T. Talmadge ; the Julia, 7 tons, Mr. P. Turner ; the Violet, 9 tons, Mr. J. R. Kirby. In Graves end-reach the Cloudpassed the Undine, and they arrivei at the Chapman-head in the following order :—Quiver, 2h.4min.; Violet, 2h. 6min. lOsec.: Julia, 2b. 7win. 40sec.; Cormorant, 2h. Binin. 15sec. ; Emily, 2h. lOrnin.; Silver Cloud, 211. 13min. 50sec.; Undine, 211. 16min. 30sec. They shift d jibs and tops.tils to beat up. All, with the excep tion of the Cloud and Emily, took the south shore, but they made fur the north, which was deemed impolitic, and by which they appeared to lose con siderable way. Although both wind and tide were foul they made very good way against the ebb; but the positions of the leading boats were unchingel, and they finished in the folowing order:—Quiver (the winner), 7h. 7 min. 20 sec.; Violet (second prize), 7h. 12min. 45sec. ; Cormorant, 7 h. 16 min. 20 sec.; Julia, 7h. 21 m4l. 5 sec. Lord Alfred Paget afterwards presented the prizes with appro priate remarks. THE LONDON AND WEST OF IRELAND FISLIIIVG AND FISH-MANURE COM PANY (LIMITED). An extraordinary meeting of the shareholders in this company was held on Saturday, at the offices in Gresham House, Sir John Burgoyne in the chair. A report, which was print?d for the use of the shareholders, fully . detailed the position of the company since its establishment ; and after a reca pitulation of facts, the board recommended, under the circumstances : "1. Abandoning the present system of fishing on our own account. " 2. The continuance of the purchase and curing of fish, and the fishing on the share system. "If the shareholders agree with these views, it will be absolutely neccessary to call up the remain ing 2/. per share. This sum, together with the amount realised by the sale of vessels not required for fishing on the share system, and sale of cured fish now on hand, will, it is considered, furnish the cap tal for carrying on the operations under the pro posed new arrangement, and for paying off the ex isting liabilities. ' "The board, however, suggests that the share holders should form a committee to confer with the directors, in order to determine the nature and extent of future operations." The result of a very long discussion, involving no point of great public interest, was, that re solutions were passed unanimously—first, on the motion of Captain Tyler, R.E , " That the present meeting is of opinion that pend ing the next general meeting the fishing be given up, fishing by shares continued in the most economical manner, and that the curing of fish, and the manufacture of fish-manure shall be pro ceeded with as long as it shall be shown to be pro fitable." Secondly, " That a further call of 21. be made upon the shareholders at the proper time, and that iu the meantime the accounts be properly audited without delay, and that the next general ordinary meeting be held on this day foit night." The third resolution appointed a committee of shareholders to confer with the board on the affairs of the company, past and present. A vote of thanks was unanimously given to the alai' man.

A Jamaica gentleman, who had some friends in the Orinoco, secretly got on board, and there he was obliged to stay until the ship got pratique. The mails were thrust from the large to the small steamer by means of a plank. The eagerness of the passengers to get on shore and to send letters to theirfriends was very great; but no one not belonging to the Orinoco was allowed to touch any one tbatdid. This caused the greatest confusion and noise. While this was going on an outcry was heard on board, louder even than the screeching of the steam and the noise on the sponson with the passengers. A fireman, apparently in liquor, had struck an officer, and was following up the blow with others. The cap tain, a powerful roan, rushed to the spot, and with one 1 blow knocked the fireman down, and in less than five minutes the fellow was in irons. The Orinoco obtained pratique yesterday morning, and entered the Southamp ,on Dak. 13E1 A.NGER. (From the Moniteur.) For years Beranger has not sung, 'but France has learnt by his loss to what a degree he was ever dear and present to her—how the soul of his songs was . part of her own soul, of her own immortal gen i us , whether she be considered as a race or as a people. The Emperor, by taking upon himself the charge of his funeral, and by wishing, as it were, to preside over them in thought, has shown how in as in everything else, his sentiments are those of France. Boranger, when he died, had nearly'completed his 77th year. Even his age was engravers on every memory, and the date of his birth, when it became the subject of inquiry, always recurred in the shape of a song— " Dans ce Paris plein d'ur et de misere, Dn l'an du Christ mil sept cent quatrt-vingt Chez un taill eur , mon pauvro e t v i oux gtaad-pere, Moi nouveau-ne, sachez ce qui m'advint. . . ." • His life was simple, and by his gond sense, his probity, and the moderation of his tastes, he ren dered it consistent and dignified. When he was young and in poverty, notwithstanding the tempta ton of the age, he contrived by a secret and obsti nate toil to prepare a talent superior to the light snd already charming ebullitions on which he tiled his hand. A humble situation in a public offide was sufficient for his wants, and he held it till he found it was likely to compromise his indepen dence. Then be became thoroughly free, and, tak ing his grand flight, as a minstrel—acknowledged by the young and by his native land, (kitting on the glories, and sympatlrzing with the sorrows of France, whom he consoled by his reminiscences and his hopes, be desired no other vocation. In his old age, when he saw more eventscome to pass than doubtless he had expected, when he found himself a better prophet than he had supposed himself to be, be had the wisdom still to remain the great and simple poet he bad always been, without repudiat ing the prodigious public results to which he had I contributed to the best of his power. . Beranger had naturally that patriotio koul that cannot be communicated. He was susceptible of joys and Forrows which have never been felt by many literary men who have applauded him, but which are felt at once by a people. Hence that long intimacy between the people and Beranger, not ! withstanding these finesses which popular works do not absolutely require. The invasions of 1814 and 1815, the fate of tae "Grand Empire," the degra dation of the "braves," and the triumph of the " incapables"—the Myrmidons vaunting tl emselves on the car of Achilles—these were to him sources of grief, indignation, derision—occasions for venge!ul reprisals. No one understood better than Beranger how much the genius of Napoleon was, at a certain period, identified with that of France, bow much the national pride and the pride ofthe hero were, in fact, the same, and how ono defeat was common to them both. No one has better shown how the day of reparation for both these glories—the glory of France and that of the name of Napoleon—be longed to one and the same cause. He sax this as a poet, but the poet raw further than many a poli tician, and when the dream was realised Beranger the honest man had the good sense not to belie Borangor the poet. Is it necessary to remind these generations of his immortal songs who from the age of 20 to the age of 60 knew them all by heart ? Such, for instance, as that which is the first of (its class, but is still gay land lively, beause victory still (January, 1814) I shows the prospect of a a brilliant change-- "Gai ! gai ! serrons nos range, " Esperance " De la France ; "Gai ! gai ! sorrons nos rangs ; "En avant, Gaulois et Francs !" and, indeed, all those in which, after so many humilitions and defeats, he begins, as a sympathe tic poet, to probe and dre3s the wounds of brave heatts ? In 1819 the allies have at last quitted the soil of France, which they occupied, and Beranger exclaims : " Refine du monde 0 France, 0 ma patrie ! Souleve enfin ton front cicatrise ! . . • With Beranger it is sufficient to give the key note : everyone follows in his strain. What finer 133 mns than "Le Cinq Mai," " Le vieux Sergent," "De vieux Drapeai," "Le Chant du Cosaque " " Waterloo," ever emanated from a national and warlike soul ? Beranger, more than any other, has kept alive in France the worship of glory and the noble symbols with which it is connected in the heroic annals of the age— " Quand seconrai-je la ponssiere " Qui ternit sos nobles couleurs ?" The tricoloured flag was the banuer of Beranger. Once it reappeared, but without the eagle ; and hence it was not complete. Beranger saw this day, in which all his friends took some part in affairs, and all were more or less ministers ; but, never theless, he never sang in honour of of the half triumph. Was this because he loved always to be the poet of the vanquished, never the poet of the conquerors ? We cannot believe anything of the kind. A victory gallantly achieved is to a genuine poet as much a source of inspiration as a noble de feat. In 1830, and the years that immediately followed, Beranger sang but little, or not at all, because his feelings as a patriot were but half satis fied. He knew all that could be said by the wise and the prudent, and even said it him self, but the poetical part of his nature felt a re gret, and when, gradually and successively military days. honourable to that politic government which he assisted actually arrived, he did not—patriotic poet as he was—feeling unmingled and inspiring joy. There was not then to be found an ample compensation for that mournfol day on which he had said— " Son nom jsmais, n'attristera rues vers." As yet there was nothing to silence the insulting song of the savage victor, whom he had represented as exclaiming in the drunkenness of his joy,— " Retourne boire a la Seine rebelle, Oa tout sanglant to t'es lave deux fois ; Hennis d'orgueil, 0 mon coursier &leis Et fonle aux pieds les peuples et les rois." However, Beranger lived to see the days of ample reparation—the days of victorious struggle, and doubtless if his muse had been 20 years younger, she would have found notes for their celebration. " Le retour de l'armee de Crimee et son entree dans Paris," what a theme for a song by Beranger His last songs, which have not yet been pub lished, and which have only been communicated to some of his friends in confidence, are, we are in formed, in the style of the " ouvenirs du Peu ple" : " On parlera de as gloire " Sous le chaume bien longtemps. " Parlez-nous do lui, grand'inere, " Parlez-nous de lui These are epic songs in their way, finished and severe in point of form, and intended to mark cer tain monuments in that grand destiny of Napoleon which occupied Beranger to the last, jealous as he was to identify more' and more his own popularity with the glory of the Emperor. Beranger, during the latter years of his life, before he was confined to his room by the malady to which he at last fell a victim, was remarkable for a rare quality that denoted the excellence of his disposi tion. He was the most actively obliging and ser viceable of mankind. Hououred by all, finding none but friends and admirers, and desiring nothing for himself, he still ventured to ask for others ; few persons ever applied to him without deriving some advantage from the a pplication. He ex celled in giving practical a nd appropriate advice. His letters, naturally but carefully written, have assuredly been treasured up by all who have re ceived them, and a ch armin g collection could he made of them, as a moral treasure, in the . style of Franklin. Such a collection would oiler a new but unforeseen aspect of his moral character. Th e re will be frequen t opportunities to direct public attention towards a fame that has long been an universal patrimony. At present it will be suf themost successfully inde c a o t n au ti e n t u ib e i d e ficient to point out that superior power of talent by wh i c h a poet so light and often so brilliant in his lias d h e ie xt n er a o m u e sl andy upon marbles of history. engravegtoaiety THE ST.
