VOrtrp. SUMMER AND WINTER EFEIGNOS. SCMMER EVENLNG. How bright, and yet how calm, this evel Above, below, all seems to me So lovely, that we might believe 'Twas nature's jubilee,— For earth and sky, this glorious even, Seem glowing with the hues of heaven. Row beautiful that vivid sky, Lit by the parting sun's last rays I We gaze, till it appears more nigh— And fancy, as we gaze, That deep-blue sky, a boundless sea, Covered with vessels gloriously. Yes ! each dark cloud a barque appears, Each whiter one the foam— There one to distant countries steers, While these sail quick towards home ; And all look most intensely bright. Glowing in heaven's own glorious light. Turn now towards earth, and even there All, all is beauty and repose— The perfume-breathing evening air Is wafted o'er the rose ; While a thousand bright and glowing flowers Are cooled with dew in these evening hours. And hushed the skylark's merry song, And silent all the humming bees : The soft west wind, that sighs among Those gently waving trees, Seems to lament each parting ray. Until the next return of day. WINTER EVENING. The bright and glowing summer's Past; 'Tis winter, and in storm and rain The day wa darkened,—now at last The sun appears again— Just for a moment glads our sight, And seen midst clouds seems doubly brigtkt. Again look upwardis—onee again Behold the wintry sun has set ; None of the summer barques remain : A nobler image yet Strikes on the Christian goat's mind, And leaves all others far bebind. The sun, whose way through that expanse Has been, since first his course began, Through storms and clouds, seems to our glane,o • A fitting type of man; For thus the Christian's narrow way With clouds is darkened day by day. Thus, as the sun in winter's gloom Sinks more than ever bright, The Christian's hopes his way Blume, And gild his path with light • As the sun sets, the Christian dies,— • Both on a brighter, happier day tl rise,—Praser'e Meg, VAILXETI:ES. Cuarvus COINCIDENCE.—By the Bow-street report about the pawning business, we perceive that a person - named Pledger was concerned in the matter. So we should suppose. By the way, we cannot omit noticing a joke cracked by Cupid Thorn ton, the other day, at the Junior. Some person was remarking, on the lady-like abstemiousness of Bavntun.—" Oh," said .Cu pid, " judging from what one hears, he can take . his glass as well as another." TRUTH TO'Ttfe TIMES.—" Who is Veritas? Ho should let us know his name." So said the Times of Monday, in its notice to correspondents. Veritas lhas forwarded to us the following answer to the editor of the Times, which he politely transmitted to that gentleman, but which the editor characteristically declined to publish : By sate and youth my name's called "Truth" In English—who can doubt me It's clear your claim to ask my name Shows you know nought about me. "What do you think, will be the result of the Maltese divi aim on the ,Ministry ?" said Raikes to Alvanley. " Why," chuckled the latter, "politically speaking, I think it will lead them to their bier." Castlereagh immediately ordered his horse, telling Crocky that he should withdraw his namo unless the "play of words" were put a stop to. Crocky declined putting a stop to play of any kind. SPANISH SUBSCRIPTION TO SCOTT'S MONUMENT,—A second list, containing subscriptions from Madrid, Barcelona, Alicant, and Malaga, appears in La lievlsla Espanola of 22nd March, and amounts, to seventy pounds. 'MARRIAGE FERS.—At Northwich, In the county of Cheshire, a whimsical privilege is ascribed, by the charter of that church, to the senior .scholar of the grammar-school, namely, that he is to receive marriage fees to the same amount as the clerk, or, in lieu thereof, the bride's garters. - - TENDER GEESE.—An elderly lady, on a visit at Margate, went into the market, having made up her mind to buy a goose. There were but two in the market, both in custody of a little girl from :Birchington, who, to the surprise of her customer, positively refused to sell one without the other. Recollecting 'that a neighbour had also expressed a wish for one, the lady was, without much difficulty, prevailed on to take both. When the bargain was concluded, however, she thought proper to in quire of the vender why she had so peremptorily declined sell ing them separate. "If you please, my lady," was the naive answer, " mother said as how the geese had lived together fif teen years, and it would be cruel to past them." • At the time when the young Roscius passed for a Garrick and a -Kemble in one, and nightly witnessed " the slope of wet faces from the pit to the roof," he sat to our painter. That no ho nour might be wanting, he was conveyed by the Duke of Cla rence, now William IV., to Argyll-pace, in his own carriage, where lords and ladies not a few usually assembled to see the progress of the work. The painter himself was, probably, to his Royal- Highness, not the least object of curiosity.—The loose gown, (says one of his biographers,) in which he painted, - was principally composed of shreds and patches, and might, perchance, be half a century old; his white hair was sparingly besto\ved on each side, and his cranium was entirely bald. The royal visitor, standing behind him whilst he painted, first liently lifted, or rather twitched, the collar of the gown; which North cote resented by suddenly turnino, and expressing his displea sure by a frown ; on which his Royal Ilioliness, touching the professor's grey locks, said, " You . don't devote much time to the toilette, I perceive." The painter instantly replied, " Sir, Inever allow any one to take personal liberties with me you are the first who ever presumed to do so ; and I beg your Royal Highness to recollect that I am in my own house." The artist - resimied his painting: the prince stood silent for a minute or sn, then opened the door and went away. The royal car riage, however, had not arrived, and rain was falling ; the prince returned, borrowed an umbrella, and departed. Bear Ir. Northcote," said one of the ladies, " I fear you have of fended his Royal Highness." " Madam," said the painter, " I t im the offended party." The next day, about noon, Mr. Northcote was alone, wh?.ll a gentle tap was heard, the studio door opened, and in walked the prince. " Mr. Northcote," he said, " I am come to return your sister's umbrella: I brought it myself, that I might have an opportunity of saying that yes terday I thoughtlessly took au unbecoming liberty with you, which you properly resented. I really am angry with myself, and hope you will forgive me, and think no more of it." "And what did you say ?" inquired a friend to whom the painter told the, story. " say! good God! what could I say i I only bowed. He might se e what I felt. I could, at that moment, . • have sacrificed my life for him ; such a prince is worthy to be a : king," The pr in ce afterwards, in his maritime way, said, " ile's a damned honest, independent, little old fellow."---.Cun ningham's Lives of British Painters. LITERATURE. press of m ore th an •,. A work has just issued from the • -ordinary value, and which is peculiarly recommended, by the extensive information it contains, to the commercial, • mercantile, and manufacturing interests. It is singular enough, but still more.to his credit, that the author, Mr. Reuss, is. a foreigner, who appears to have taken hi s hint .L-from 111. Dupin g of Paris, another • foreigner to whom England is much indebted far-his ndiniralile•work on- the statistics, wealth, and capabilities of this country. Mr. THE I,IVERPO Reuss' work is entitled " Calculations and Statements relative to the Trade between Great Britain and the United States of America." These calculations and state• ments are replete with information to.the practical mer chant and. shipowner, on every subject connected with the trade of England and the United States. The work con tains an expose of the revenue laws of the currency, the weights and measures, the exchanges, and the established rates and usages, &c. &c. of the republic. The whole is accompanied by copious tables illustrative of these various and important subjects. It is published by Mr. Effingham W,ilson, London, and Mr. Samuel Franceys, Liverpool. THE MAGAZINES. Fraser commences this month with a slashing article, in which every bone in Tom Babington Macauley's body is broken to pieces, but which, we regret to say, is too long for our present space. There are several other arti cles of great merit, which, as every body now readS Fra ser, it would be a loss of time to enumerate. The follow ing is from the article entitled "My Contemporaries' by a retired Barrister :" . At, the commencement and during many years of my profes sional life, Baldwin, never mentioned but by the name of Billy Baldwin, was iu considerable practice at the bar. He was an old man when I was called, and then said to possess consider able wealth. But age failed to convey any admonitory advice to avarice, and in vain pointed out to him the road to retirement. He clung to business to the last, while the smallest profit could be derived from it. His ruling passion was the accumulation of wealth, and to that he sacrificed every feeling of professional propriety and its honourable pride. He knew every attorney and attorney's clerk in London, by name, and courted their bu siness by means to which nothing but a sordid spirit could stoop. He was indiscriminately fawning and submissively familiar with every attorney who he thought had a half-guinea fee to give away. He was neither scrupulous nor squeamish in his selec tion of the members of that profession with whom he was en dearingly associated. He did not look to their character, but to the papers in their pocket if he saw one so furnished, he would stop him, engage him in familiar conversation, learn from him on what business he was going, and to what couriSel, and then, with a pretended half joke, ask him if he could not do it as well as another ? This mode of solicitation was gene rally _successful; and by such unworthy means he had engros sed, in fact, almost the whole of the practice business of the court, and was in full possession of it when Marryat was called to the bar : till that time he had been without a rival or compe titor, when Marryat rose to contest his supremacy. The edu cation, knowledge of actual practice, and inflexible persever ance of Marryat, enabled him to combat Baldwin with success; and in that task he found many allies, of whom I was one. Marryat - had been articled to an attorney, to whom he had served part of his clerkship. He had by that means acquired a knowledge of a description of practice to which Baldwin was a fitranger. This was a perfect acquaintance with the appropriate stumps required for every affidavit or instrument which was to be used on its coming before the court. From the same source he derived a thorough acquaintance with the rules of court, as to the service of process, notices of motion, the wording of affi davits, and the proper forms of the jurats, as prescribed by the practice of the court. In these points Baldwin was soon found by him to be vulnerable. He was too lazy to bestow much time on these minutia in practice. He was puzzled with objec tions to the stamps on his affidavits; and Marryat, with his tre ble penny stamps, astounded and silenced him. It was with these weapons Marryat first shook his credit, by discharging his rules on some technical objection. By these defeats the con fidence of his clients in him was first shaken, and his credit with them began to totter. He lost g round by degrees; and in the same proportion his younger and more active opponent suc ceeded to it. Of the heavy and important business of the court, such as the arguing demurrers or reserved cases, Baldwin rarely had any share. Half-a-guinea motions, and the inferior descriptions of it, formed the wnole of Baldwin's practice, but of which he had au unconscionable proportion. Benig of very long standing at the bar, extremely rich; and having been brought into Parlia ment by the Duke of Portland, which last circumstance, it was supposed, would have something elevated his 'professional views, it was expected, by his juniors at the bar, that he would have asked for a silk gown ; as, by the division of his business, which would be the consequence of his taking rank, they . would be so considerably benefited. But rank, unaccompanied by profit, presented no object of desire to the eyes of Baldwin. The ac cumulation of wealth was the sole object of his ambition,' and no splendour of rank could induce him to relinquish the profits derived from a half-guinea motion. King's counsel can accept no fee under a guinea; and when Baldwin was rallied for re taining his stuff gown when he might change it for a silk one, and come within the bar, his answer was an honest avowal of his motive,—" I have lived long enough," said he, " to know that three half-guineas are more than a guinea,"—an excuse for meanness under cover of a joke. The house in which Baldwin lived was that which is now Sur geon's Hall, in Lincoln's Inn Fields. When Erskine was told of the purchase, and that Baldwin had sold his house to the Corporation of Surgeons,—" I suppose," said he, it was recom mended to them from Baldwin's being so well acquainted with the practice of bringing in. the body." In the early part of his professional life, he had gone the Mid land Circuit for some time. ' With an eye always intent on his interest, he saw that, while nearly the whole of the common 'law counsel were absent from London on circuit, there was much to be made by remaining in town. He therefore gave up the circuit, and exchanged it for the more promising prospect of gain by remaining in London, and cruising for such business as chance or the ableuce of others might throw in his way. Soon after he had taken.his resolution, a friend of his meeting him in London, in the month of March, when the circuits were going on, expressed his surprise at seeing him in town at that time, and asked him if he had quitted his circuit? " Yes," says Baldwin, "the midland, I have ; I now go the home circuit." " What," replied his friend, "will the home circuit bar suffer a man of your standing to join them ?" " I never asked them," replied t3aldwin ; " the home circuit which I go is on the Tem ple Terrace, and it is not'a bad one, let me tell you." Thee tie paraded backward and forward during business hours, to snap up the chance motions of attorneys or their clerks, either going to the public offices, or to other membeis of the bar. This base traffic he pursued for many years after old age should have admonished him that wordly pursuits should have come to au end. Marryat's successful opposition to him had raised against him an host of opponents. If professional character is once broken in upon, it is rarely retrieved, and if once shaken it fails soon to the ground. This was the case with Baldwin; his bu siness fell off when the confidence of his clients was lest, but not so his cupidity for its profits, to retain which he had recourse to every expedient which avarice and meanness could suggest, But his day was past; his credit sunk for ever, which, till the last, he struggied in vain to sustain. He at length retired from the bar, not from want of health but of business. He quitted it . with painful reluctance when it became unprofitable, and it had in fact quitted him. His re tirement was unaccompanied with any regret from any quarter but from himself; that the power of making money had departed from him. When he found his clients forsaking him, he lost all command over his temper; his feelings, which were all sel fish, and his manners naturally unpolished, became violent by disappointment. He at no time commanded the respect or good will of those who practised with him at the bar; and when his business was transferred to them, he was illiberal and offen sive, even to rudeness. He carried his resentment so far, as to charge them with obtaining his business by soliciting attorneys, and imputing to them as dishonourable what had been the uni form course of conduct which he had pursued during the whole of his professional life. Selfishness and popularity will never be found in the same character. His jealousy was at all times roused by any display of talents in the junior. members of the bar, and their promise. of rising in their profession. He uni formly browbeat timidity, and insulted inexperience. Such was billy Baldwin. The merry May-day number of Beackwood has just made its appearance, and is fraught with matter, as . usual, both rich and rare. :We have only room for the following extract from an article on the subject of "Poor Laws for Ireland." • Mr. Malthus, an elegant and eloquent writer, contrasts strongly with the "forced ehatity" of poor's laws, which, ac cording to his views, leaves no satisfactory impression on the mind, and cannot, therefore, have any very beneficial effect on the heart and affections, that "voluntary charity, which makes itself acquainted with the objects which it relieves, which seems to feel, and to be proud of the bond that unites the rich with the poor, which enter into their houses, informs itself of their habits and dispositions, checks the hopes of clamorous and obtrusive poverty, with no other recommendations but rage, and encou rages with adequate 'relief the silent and retiring 'sufferer ' labouring und er unmerited difficulties." We say, ." Peace be to such; and to their slumbers peace." Thousands and tens of thousands of. such truly Christian spirits are there this day in England. The picture is beautiful, and it is true. Nor do they L STANDAhI). who act thus grudge the poor's rates. Would too that all who do pretend to follow Mr. Malthus, were convinced like him of the humanity of their opinions. But it is not so. Nine out of ten of them, if not compelled to do it, would give nothing to the poor. They are not the persons who would play the part painted in that captivating picture. He is a kind-hearted man; but his disciples are in . general scrubs. You see that in the scurvy shabbiness of their sneaking sentences, which it sickens one's stomach to read aloud, and sends over an audience one universal scunner. Mr. Malthus quotes with high admiration a passage from Townsend, than which nothing can be imagined more unjust. "Nothing in nature can be more disgusting than a parish pay-table, attendant upon which, in the same objects of misery, are too often found combined snifff; gin, rags, vermin, insolence, and abusive language; nor in nature can any thing be more beautiful than the mild complacency of benevolence, hasten ing to the humble cottage to relieve the wants of industry and virtue, to feed the hungry, to clothe the naked, and to soothe the sorrows of the widow, with her tender orphans; nothing can be more pleasing, unless it he their sparkling eyes, their bursting tears, and their uplifted hands, the artless expressions of unfeigned gratitude for unexpected favours." This is somewhat too sentimental—and in any other writer but a Political EconOmist, such a style would meet with little admiration. Snuff is not disgusting to Mr. Coleridge or Chris topher North; and so insignificant a pleasure might be tole rated even to a pauper. Rags are often more a misfortune than a sin—and so are vermin. Gin, and insolence, and abusive lan guage, admit of no defence; and too common they are at such a table. Yet with proper management they need not be there; and of such a table, under proper management, ought here to have been the picture. For how pretty the interior of that con trasted cottage, and how attractive its inmates! No snuff—no rags—no vermin. Yet in many thousand cottages, had poor's laws never been in England, would all such nauseous nuisances have been plentifully found. As for Scotland—let the good Christians—male and female—who pay charitable visits to the poor in the auld town of Edinburgh, say what they see and smell in many of those abodes of wretchedness and sin. Snuff, tobacco, rags, vermin, gin, insolence, and language Worse than abusive—enough and to spare. Heaven forbid we should even seem to say a single syllable in disparagement of private charities! But let us not set the "dis gusting ' against the "beautiful!" 'T would be easy to do so with far more powerful effect than Mr. Townsend. "fis a false and foolish way altogether of treating so sad a subject as misery, whether merited or unmerited; and no one has told the world so with more convincing eloquence than Dr. Chalmers. Neither is it difficult to paint affecting pictures of virtuous poverty, religiously bearing its lot in unrelieved and uncom plaining privacy, and in humility, not pride, unacquainted with alms. Verily, they shall have their reward." But let us— "because that we have all one human heart"—beware how we load with our laudation any "custom of the country," that would cruelly impose such endurance on the virtuous poor. A sad sight it is to the eyes of a Christian, some aged woman, who has seen perhaps far other days, wasting away over a. cup of thin tea and a mouldy crust. She is no pauper—not she •indeed—and you must not insult her with your alms. Yet, had the "custom of the country" been to give her—and all like her—a claim—a right to relief—would it not have been far better, and not less beautiful, to see her eating her loaf of Love and Law? She had not needed then to feel the blush of shame on her clayey cheek; for what she ate would have been her own as rightfully is any venison-pasty ever was theirs, while being devoured by he members of the Political Economy Club at a Gaudeamus. The TREASURER to the DOCK ESTATE. IN one of our late publications, we ventured to anticipate, and, as time has since proved to be, in a great measure, correctly, the particular course ,which some of the mem bers of the Dock Committee would pursue, In the appli cation of their votes, when the moment of the election of a Treasurer to the Dock Estate should arrive. In making those remarks, we purposely abstained from entering into a comparison of the respective merits of those gentlemen, who, at that period, were known to be candidates for the situation ; but now, that the election is terminated, and that it has become the system and fashion, in these more modern times, to make the proceedings of every public body undergo a sort of newspaper ordeal, we shall claim no other indulgence for ourselves than that, which we conceive our remarks may be well entided to, for bring ing the late proceedings of the Dock Committee again before the notice of our readers, in so far as involves the individual consistency of the four gentlemen who voted for Mr. Langton, one of the candidates : we-allude of course to Mr. Leathom, Mr. Hornby, Mr. Earle, and Mr. Benson. However much we may dif fer, politically, in opinion, with these gentlemen, we should ill support that peculiar characteristic which we claim for ourselves, as journalists, were we to indulge in that species of personal and unjustifiaLle tirade adopted on all occasions, by most of our contemporaries, where the conduct or opinions of an individual opposed to them in a political sense happens to fall within their grasp; and to be made the sacrifice of their weekly de vouring rapacity.. • It may possibly cause a momentary reflection, in the mind that peruses this publication, that fresh in the re collection of that personal declamation, which took place at the appointment of a gentleman to the Dock Solici torship, whose competency was most indelicately and most unjustly made matter of discussion, that we, in our editorial capacity, should not deem a similar strain of language as more immediately befitting our purpose. Such a course, however, would neither be gratifying to our inclination, nor furnish the species of weapon we are anxious to wield. Nor is it matter of desire with us that we should now question the consistency and propriety of the conduct of the gentlemen to whom we have alluded. We are as much alive as any of their most intimate ac quaintances can be, to their personal respectability and estimation in this town ; nor do we differ on these grounds, in the smallest degree, from their most favourite admi rers. But as public men—holding public offices, and res ponsibilities, whatever our disposition might be, "we" are not the only parties to be considered :—it is in this point of view, alone, that we wish to notice them; and in doing so the; only assurance we can give, is, that either on this or another occasion, where their conduct does not merit public approbation, they must expect to be treatdd according to their deserts; with justice but as gentlemen ; in short we shall speak of them, at all times, as they are, "-nothing extenuate, Nor set down aught in malice." Cruel and ungenerous as the task may appear, we can not hesitate •to express our unwillingness to revert to past proceedings, more especially those that the lapse of time and the passing of events, may seem to have "—quietly inurned; but justice demands, and the echo of her voice still responds in the breasts of those whose party and whose cause have been ungraciously abused in this town, that we should spare no exertions in removing any impression preju dicial to their interest, should such exist, in consequence of the illiberal and unjustifiable proceedings at the meet ing of the Rate-payers, held some months ago in Liver pool. Our reason for resuming this subject will appear in the sequel. The meeting to which we have just alluded, under an odious species of pretence, came before the public, as re garded its immediate object, under the sickening-tattered raiments of what is called reform. A son of an old and faith ful servant of the Corporation, whose able exertions and personal respectability were known and acknowledged by all who were acquainted with his name, had been elected to the Solicitorship of the Dock Estate, vacant by the re signation of Mr. Thomas Foster, who was unanimously chosen by the Corporation' to fill the office of Town Clerk :, this election was made matter of particular of fence to the movement party; who, whilst they ingeni ously affected to find fault with the constitution of the Dock ,Committee, were, in truth, only actuated by a desire, if it could by any exertion on their part be realized, to have Mr. Bourne ejected from his appointment. Twenty-six years of age ! and the son of a Common Councilman ! ! was evidence quite sufficient to condemn any individual under such unfortunate circumstances. This, virtually, was the whole head and front of the offending !—the real gist of their subject of complaint ! At this meeting, Mr. Hornby was apP c ' lL t ' il committee for .carrying certain resolutions He disapproved of Mr. C. Bourse's a ppoini him too inexperienced—too young—not toed in years to lead them up the ladl e ' without kicking them down again. Al r ' was one of those who joined in this op i°l however, did not think proper to vote for then Mr. Leathom, Mr. Earle, and 1‘ 11. • sufficiently made known their sentiment s, : high displeasure at Mr. C.. Bourne's anr`: to return to the object of our argunl en 'i . ; known, that, amongst the number of c an to Treasurer's office, there were individual' c u i well calculated, in every respect, for the faith't,b, of the duties of the office. But what were i tensions of Mr. Langton ? And what th e b , of these gentlemen to vote for him ? W e l jr. to enter into any personal dissertation upon ) • qualifications ; but when we are so well: : capabalities and resources possessed by his c ' point of mental and bodily activity and ell e ' consequently, feel at a loss to account for the.; of these four gentlemen, who gave him thel the late election. The duties and responsibilities of the surer of the Liverpool Dock Estate, as: importance—its revenue—the managem e , i n i , counts—and other minor details, an in acquainted with Liverpool, and having the extent of our Docks, may, without ape some opinion . of their nature and infr°l l (l, • late Mr. Robert Pickering, the pub lic 113 - known, (for which his salary was ra ised ' £BOO per annum) the- services of a m ost ac t! individual. It is impossible for us to snl Hornby, Mr. Leathom, Mr. Earle, or Mr . have been otherwise than impressed with this also; and moreover, that, in appointing a' nece.ssa.ry he should, at least, possess simil ar , to do equal justice to the duties of the of it would not require any great stretch °'l, one who might be a stranger to LiverP, °° the truth of this remark, much -less Lo,e opinions and knowledge of men who 11"1, years, connected in business in Livernc.vous sarily well acquainted with all its va r i l vc With this impression, how did the rec ordet gentlemen apply on the late occasion ?
