AND 00/aMERCIAL INTELLIGENUE, CITY, Two o'CLocK. The Liverpool Cotton Market on Saturday closed firm, and prices were well maintained. The sales were estimated at 8,000 bales, of which 1,000 were taken by the exporters and speculators. In the Railway Share Market there was no particular alteration, and prices were steady. The general business of the port of London last week was not very active. At the Custom Home I 7 . vessels were reported from Foreign ports, two from Ireland, and there were 128 colliers. The entries outwards were 127, and the clearances 128 vessel, besides 14 in ball ist . . 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 c ause for this Sanguine expectation, especially as the bullion at the bank - is accumulating so rapidly, but the ex -perienee of the past two years has taught us not 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 check the amelioration which has commenced. It was about this period last year when the rate of discount Was 4i per cent., but towards the autumn the drain of specie to the East and to the Conti tent, caused a serious diminution to the Bank's bullion, and the minimum gradually rose to 6 and 7 per cent. This efflux has since continued, but fortunately, it is now going on at a reduced Scale, and our imports of gold. and silver are in excess of the exports. Thu 3 the bullion is increasing, and the consequently improved situa 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 place, then a lower range for money may be justly anticipated, and the encouraging harvest prospects here and on th e C on ti nen t s t r engthen the impression 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 Market are less numerous, and it is satisfactory to notice the little encouragement that it is given to new speculative adventure. No sooner has an intimation of a new Turkish Loan been given than 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 ral her cheaper. The imports of specie last week were 809,9001.,‘ hill the exports, including those by the Indus, to-day, (the shipments being completed on Satur day) about 670,8211. The Corn Market is again depressed, and Eng ltr;ihelt 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 91 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 there has since been rather more firm ness, 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 eyed. Consols for money have been 911 to 92 ; an I for account, 92 to 92&. The latter are now 92k, I. The New 3 per Cents. are 92 to 921 ; and the Reduced, 91k to 92k. Exchequer Bills are 4 a; 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. are 95 and the 4p' r cent. guaranteed 102 a I. Spanish Certificates have been 51.

A air business, however, is reported. Great Nortben, Great Western, and North-East.rn, York, advanced „ g ‘ l 'out 58. to 10s. South-Western, Midland, Ox ford, rcester, 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 2 1 . 10s. 'Lombardo-Venetian rose about ss. to YB. 6d. Grand Trunk of Canada improved 11., and Fag Indian about 103. Mining Shares 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 ratea. In the Mis,..cellaneoui Market there is very doing, but quotations are Crin. Aus.ralian Agri cultural, and London General Omnibus Company are supported at previous rates. 33 :lITISIT FUNDS.—CLOSING PRICES —THIS DAY. (From the Offinal List;) Business (lone. 3 Per Cent.

CORN EXCHANGE. Only na . oderate'supplies of wheat were on sale in the pro vincial markets held on Saturday ; yet the demand f. r all kinds ruled hoavy, at further 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 hive given way, yet there is a fair business doing for shipment to England. In the United &ales 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 barley, 34,1;60 eats, 20 beans, 817 peas, 210 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 wEek was rather large. The favourable accounts respecting the crops, and the . increased supplies of foreign produce received - during the past week, had a most depressing influence upon the trade. Sales were with difficulty effecte 1, add the transactions reported were at fully 5s 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 par quarter was obtained for it. We were seasonably well supplied with foreign wheat, and most of the late imports consist - of good useable quail tie.r. The trade was heavy• in the extreme, and prices ware nominally 3s per quarter lower 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 th 3 market. New white realised 41a, now gray, 42s per quarter. The flour trade was heavy , an l prices further receded 2d per 8113 s.

There was a falling off in the show of sheep as to num ber, bit their general condition was good, though not to say first rate.

(BY .ELECTRIC .TELEGRAPIT.) The nomination of candidates for the represen tation of the city of Oxford took place this day. The respective candidates, viz., Mr. Tbackeray and the Right Hon. E. Cardwell, attended by their 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 returned to,Par 'lament, he should go there free from pledge's 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—(loud cheers) and any measure of reform, not containing a provision to that effect would be valneless, and not worth accepting. At the concluaion 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 b e in favour ofMr. Thackeray. This announcement was received with the most enthusiastic cheering. A poll was demandel on the part of Cardwell. The voting will commence to-morrow morning at eight o'clock. The supporters of Mr. Thackeray are very sari guine of success. ELECTION COMMITTEES.—(This Day.) FALKIRK BITRGHS. The committee reassembled this morning at the usual hour—Sir John Pakington in the chair—and proceeded with the evidence. After the examination of one or two witnesses, who deponed to facts similar to those of previous witnesses, Mr. Phinn, counsel for Mr. Merry, the sitting member, said be could not resist the evidence that bad been. adduced by the petitioners against Mr. Merry's agents, and he must therefore withdraw from the case. The committee-room was then cleared. On the readmission of the public, Sir J. Pakington, the chairman, announced the decision of the committee, which was, that Mr. Merry had, by his agents, been guilty of bribery, &c., and that therefore the election was void. IVIALDON AND WEYMOUTH. The committee reassembled this morning, and proceeded to hear evidence in these cases, relative to treating, Ate., on the part of the agents of the sitting member. LA. rte' INTP.T.T.TGENCE.—(This Day.) COURT OF BANKRUPTCY. (Before Mr. Commissioner Goa'burn.) IN BE F. F. SHAW-ADIOUBNMENT BINE DIE. To-day was appointed for the last examination of this bankrupt, who had carried on business as an ironmonger, &c., in the Blackfriars.road, but no accounts had been filed, Mr. Bagley appeared for the bankrupt, and stated that he had disposed of his business to the London and Birmingham Hardware Company, which is being wound up under the act passed in 1856 ; and the person who had been the bankrupt's book-keeper bad been retained in the service of the company, and had been employed by the official liquidator, so that he had rot been able to assist in preparing the bankrupt's accounts. His Honour did not consider that a sufficient crease, 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 RE WARD. This bankrupt was described as of Bow Chnrch•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. Coidley appeased for the bankrupt. The case was ultimately adjourned for s'x months, in order that two other bankrupts, named Kent and Lan kester, who had been mixed' up in accommodation bill transactions with the bankrupt, should file their balance sheet. POLICE INTELLIGENCE.— (This Day.) MARLBOROUGH-STREET. CHARGE 011' 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. Lewis, jun., who attended for the complainant, stated the circumstances of the charge, which was to ext'irt money from his client by accusing him of having committed an indecent assault upon him, as was subse queibtly 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 ab - ,ut two years ago the prisoner first lodged in his house. He continued to do s, frequently after that. About a year since he applied for a bed. Complainant told him that hip beds were all occupied. After some conversation with the prisoner, who remarked that he did not know where to go to, he (complainant) offered him (prisoner) half his bed. In the course 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 ho would raise up the whole house. Complainant gave 2 sovereigns, and he has give n him since altogether 7/. The prisoner has not slept in les 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 10 last, which came into the bands of Mr. Gould stone (complainant's partner), and which led to the pre sent proceedings. Mr. Gou!dstone stated that on Friday in conse quence of the information contained in the letter, he fetched a constable and arranged with him as to the course to be taken for the apprehension of the prisoner. It was agreed to mark a soverd:n. This was done in the presence of Wooller A 401. On the Sunday mon:- log witness and the constable went to No. 24, Baldwin strcet, from which house the letter WAS directed. Witness saw the prisoner in the street. lie observed to him (the prisoner) that he had a sovereign from Mr. Ware. Ile 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. SOUTIIWARK. SCALDING A WIFE. —A. 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 pe%ce, as he was a most sober man when be was at work. The one was 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, nr Lioell, a marine store dealer, carrying on business in Bromley, Middlesex, who has been repeatedly before the magistrate on the charge upon which he was now arraigned, appeared on bail boors Mr. Yardley, charged with being concerned with another man named Crawley in stealing a horse value 25/. the property of Mr. Phillip Pound, the contractor of No. 31, Ship-street, Borough. Mr. Yardley said the prisoner must go before a jury and committed the prisoner for trial at the se-sions with liberty to put in bail. SCENE IN A CHIJRCH.-00 Sunday last, the spectacle was witnessed in Arnesby church of a whole congregation simultaneously rising and leaving in the m iddle of divine service. The usual congregation bad assembled in the morning, when Mr. Chap man, the vicar, entered the desk and began to read. The c h u rchw,rden then stopped forward and proteste d a g ainst his going on with the service. A few words ensued, Mr. Chapman daring his interrupter to remove him. The latter then turned and left the church, followed by big brother churchwarden and those who had assembled. There was no sermon. In the evening the same scene occurred, with this difference, that there was no interruption, the congrega- tion remaining until prayers were ended. A s soon , h oweve r, as Mr. Chapman had given out the t ex t, the who l e congr e g ation rose with one accord, and left the church. Mr. Chapman then closed his book, and abruptly left the pulpit,--R Vern Counties ;5 f all .5 1 all .1 all .00 all ,0,5 all 1 all 1 all ?() 5 10C 28 921; 4 x d 84 z 4 1331 li 2i i 11th 14 4 33,576 G 6, 6d 5 —5 Od l 1,143 7,1127 383 5,525 67t Oct SPORTING NOTES. LIVERPOOL, NOTTINGHAM, AND STAMFORD. The racirg at Liverpool last week Ness satisfactory enough both with regard to its quality and quantity. Blink Bonny was indulged with a mere canter for the Lancashire Oaks, and appeared to be quite recovered fr. - 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 would have been brought out to oppose Adamas on the Friday, when despite her 91bs. 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. Mellishie colours were landed in triumph. The race for the Liverpool Cup showed that Bashi Bazouk retains all the gameness which he displayed in the spring, and that Mr. Jackson did not pay much too dearly for his whistle when he bought Mongrel. Little Rogerthorpe seems to have lost all form, and the result of the race would not have been effected even if Flatuoan 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 form. The very pretty quarrel which was occasioned by the Clerk of the 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 Oabornes' 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 not be numerically large th• 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 oa this occasion.'' The Nottinghamshire Handicap will not attract many runners to the post. King of the Gipsies and Mongrel are the most noteworthy names, and if 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 Castle Handicap may be placed to the credit of Sorceress. The representative of Messrs. Barber and Saxon's interest—either Polly Peachum or Princess Royal,—shall do battle for me for the Bunney Park Stakes. For the Nursery Plate I shall again pay my addresses to Maggie Lauder, and for the Forest Plate I shall 13t my fancy stray to Soroerek. 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 placa the Colleyweston Stakes to Mr. T. Parr's account, and I shall expeot Sir Colin to beat Turbit, and the bon legged Loyola for the Stamford St. Leger. The un lucky Polestar may gallop away with the Gold Cup, and in the absence of 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 TH A MRS YACHT CLUB. This club closed a prosperous season on Saturday, with a fine match among buts 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 ton., Mr. R. Hewitt; the Quiver, 12 tars, Mr. T. Chamberlain; the Undine, 8 tons, Mr. E. Searle ; the Cormorant, 10 tone, Mr. J. T. Talmadge ; the Julia, 7 tons, Mr. P. Turner ; the Violet, 9 tuna, Mr. J. R. Kirby. lii Graves end-reach the Cloudp.issed the Undine, and they arrived at the Chapman-head in the following order:—Quiver, 211.4tnin.; Violet, 2h. 6min. lOsec.: Julia, 2h. 7min. 40see. ; Cormorant, 2h. Bmin. 15sec. ; Emily, 2b. 10min.; Silver Cloud, 2h. 13min. 50sec.; Undine, 211. 16inin. 30sec. They shift d jibs and topsmls 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 Ray. Although both wind and tide wore foul they made very good way against the ebb; but the positions of the leading boats were uncharged, and they finished in the following order:—Quiver (the winner), 7h. 7 min. 20 sec.; Violet (second prize), 711. 12tnin. 455c0.; Cormorant, 7 h. 16 win. 20 sec.; Julia,, 7h. 21 ni.;n. 5 sec. Lord Alfred Paget afterwards presented the prizes with appro priate remarks. THE LONDON AN!) WEST OF' IREL4ND FISHING AND FISH-MANURE COM PANY (LIMITED). An extraordinary meeting of the shareholders in thii company was held on Saturday, at the offices in Gresham House, Sir John Burgoyne in the chair. A report, which was printed for the use of th• 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 tho 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 captal 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 deertniue the nature and extent of future operations." The result of a very long discussion, involving no point of great public interest, was, that ie 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 continue I in the moat 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 , litable." Secondly, " That a further call of 2/. be made upon the shareholders at the proper time, and that in the meantime the accounts be properly audited without delay, and that the next general ordinary meeting be held on this day fort 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 chairman. wa SUPPLEMENTARY NAVAL EarEgam—Yeste rda y issued an estimate of the sums required to provide 2,000 additional seamen, for service in h iN er far t_. , ,j(_ .

A small steamer went alongside her, on board of which were Captain Vineent, the Royal Mail Company's superin tendent at Southampton ; Messrs. Weblin and Dusatoy, the health officers ;and Messrs. Obree and Forester, the tide s urveyors. No one was allowed to approach the mail packet, or even the little steamer that went along side for the mails. A Jamaica gentleman, who had acme 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 their friends was very great; but no one not belonging to the Orinoco was allowed to touch any one that did. This caused the greatestconfusion 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, bad struck an officer, and was following up the blow with others. The cap tain, a powerful man, rushed to the spot, and with one e blow knocked the fireman down, and in less than e v d minutes the fellow was in irons.

For years Beranger has not sung, but France his learnt by his loss to what a degree he was ever dear and present to 11 , 3 r—how the soul of his songs as part of her own soul, of her own immortal genius, whether she b 3 considered as a race or as a p eo pl e . 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 this, as ia everything else, his sentiments are those of France. Beranger, when he died, had nearly completed his 77th year. Even his age was engraven on every metnory, and the date of his birth, when it became the subject of inquiry, always recurred in the shape of a song— " Dane ce Paris plain d'or et de misere, En I'an du Christ mil sept cent quatre-vingt, Chez un tailleur, mon pauvre et vieux grand-pare, Moi nouveau- n e, sac h ez ce qu i m ' a d v i n t. . . .11 His life was simple, and by his good 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 tion of the age, he contrived by a secret and obsti nate toil to prepare a talent superior to the light and already charming ebullitions on which he tiied his hand. A humble situation in a public office was sufficient for his wants, and he held it till he found it was likely to compromise his indepen dence. Then he became thoroughly free, and, tak ing his grand flight, as a minstrel—acknowledged by the young and by his native land, doatiog on the glories, and sympathizing 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 events come to pass than doubtless he had expected, when he found himself a better prophet than he had supposed himself to be, he had the wisdom still to remain the great and simple poet he had always been, without repudiat ing the prodi g ious public results to which' he had con tributed to the best of his power. Beranger had naturally that patriotic soul that cannot be communicated. He was susceptible of joys and sorrows 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 bitween the people and Beranger, not withstanding these finesses which popular works do not absolutely require. The invasions of 1814 and 1815, the fate of the " Grand Empire," the degra dation of the "braves," and the triumph of the ‘• incapables"—the Myrmidons vaunting themselves 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, how much the national pride and the pride ofthe hero were; in fact, the same, and how one 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 saw this as a poet, but the poet saw further than many a poli tician, and when the dream was realised Beranwr the honest man had the good sense not to belie Beranger the poet. Is it necessary to remind these generations of his immortal songs who from the age of 20 to the ago of GO knew them all by heart Such, for instance, as that which is the first of its class, but is still gay and lively, beause victory still (January, 1814) (shows tke prospect of a a brilliant change— " Gai ! gai ! serrons nos range, " Esperance "De la France; "Gal ! gai ! sorrons nos range ; "En avant, Ganlois et Francs !" and, indeed, all those in which, after so many humilitions and defeats, he begins, as a sympathe tic poet, to probe and dress the wounds of brave hearts ? In 1819 the allies have at last quitted the soil of France, which they occupied, and Beranger exclaims : " Reine du monde 0 France, 0 ma patrie Souleve enfin ton front cicatrise . . . With Beranger it is sufficient to givo the key note : everyone follows in his strain. What finer 11) inns than "Le Cinq Mai," " Le vieux Sargent," "Da vieux Drama'," "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— "Qnand secourai-je la poussiere " Qui teinit sea nobles couleurs ?" The tricoloured flag was the b inner 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 the half triumph. Was this because be loved always to l'e 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 pot 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 ail, 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—feel an unmingled and inspiring joy. There was not then to be found an ample compensation for that mournful day on which he had said— " Son nom jsmais, n'attristora mes vols." As yet there was nothing to silence the insulting song of the savage victor, whom he had represented as exclaiming iu the drunkenness of his joy,— " Rotourne boiro a la Seine reballe, Ot tout sanglant to t'es lave deux foil ; Hennis d'orgueil, 0 mon coursier fidele Et foule aux pieds les peuples et lea rois." However, Beranger lived to see the days of ample reparation—the days of victorious struggle, and doubtless if his muse lud been. 20 years younger, site 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 EOlllO of his friends in confidence, are, we are in formed, in the style of the " Souvenirs du Pen ple" " On parlera do sa gloiro " Sous le ammo bion longtemps. " Parlez-nous do lui, grand'more, " Parlez-nous do 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 towhich identify occupied B m e o r r a e n g a e n r a t i o n o t rhee hislas t o , vilip jealous o as was la r s i h t y e with the glory of the Emperor. Beranger, during the latter years of his life, before he wai confined to his room by the malady to which he at last fell a victim, was remarkable for a rare quality that denoted ie excellence of his disposi tion. He was the most actively obliging and ser viceable of mankind. Honoured 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 application. He ex celled in giving practical and appropriate advice. His letters, naturally but carefully written, have assuredly been treasured up by all who have re ceived them, and a charming collection could be made of them, as a moral treasure, in the style of Franklin. Such a collection would offer a new but unforeseen aspect of his moral character. There will be frequent opportunities to direct public attention towards a fame that has long been an universal patrimony. At present it will be suf . - he successfullymo tindestructible continu ed ficient to point out that superior power of talent by which a poet so light and often so btilliant in his g t o a , e e j y g a y s e d h e is x t n e r a o m u e s 1 y u i a ) 1 0 1 a d marbles of history.
