Vottrp. THE CHARM OF POETRY. BY BTIIBL. CHURCHILL. This is the charm of poetry, it comes On sail perturbed moments ; and its thoughts, Like pearls amid the troubled wa►ers, gleam. That which we garnered in our eager youth, Becomes a long delight in after sears ; . The mind is strengthened, and the heart refreshed By some old memory of gifted words, :That bring sweet f•elings, answering to our own, Or dreams that waken some more lofty mood That dwelleth with the commonplace of life. ALL MUST FADE. (From the Dahlia University Magazine.) Where are the modest violets gone, - That grew so faintly sweet, And as the Queen of May passed.on, Were strewed beneath her feet ? Maiden ! Spring not long can stay; Violets mast fade away. Where are the flowers I loved the best, The glowing roses say !. That decked the . village maiden's breast, And peasant's hat so gay ? Youth! the Suinmer months trust fly, And the brilliant roses die. Then lead me to the streamlet's brink— In murmurs, soft and low, It bids the thirsty blossoms drink That on the margin grow The sum was fierce—the wind was high— ' The streatniet.'6 pebbled bed is 'dry. Show me the bower, I loved, of old, To rest in, unperceived. Where tales of simple love were told— .By simple hearts believed. .The leaves are gone—ihe flowers are dead— The cool and fragrant shell has fled. 'The gentle girl, who, when she met: • My gaze; her eyes ne'er raised, But on the timid violet (Her own sweet emblem) gazed— Beauty withers, and the maid, • Like the leaves and flowers, must fade. But, where is he who passed, his hours, . Lost in a pleasing dream . ; - . Who sang the shepherdess—the flowers— The arbour—awl the stream ? Fancy flies—life soon is o'er— . The Youthful Poet is no more. CONTEMPORARY PRESS. DISPOSAL OF- THE NATIONAL -HONOURS. - • From the illa,whester Courier. j- With a tottering but corrupt ministry , at the .head of affairs, it is not extraordinary that we should be occa . sionally startled by some egregious act of roily, or some barefaced abuse of .the high favours and distinctions witlt which the sovereign is entrusted by the nation, to confer 'occasionally in its name. But the Times, of Thursday, calls our attention to a recent act of the Crim.- Connell cabinet, that, in point of assurance and absur dity, well nigh surpasses all former exploits. Our,eon temporary commences his article thus Among the most curious occurrences of late date; as indications of the spirit which rules the Melbourne cabinet, is the Ito- . mirary distinction - bestowed upon Colonel De Lacy Evans, whereby, he has become a Knight Commander of the.Batli. Why has such a decoration been bestowed upon Colonel De Lacy Evans? What public service has he ,rendered to this country to entitle hint to such an ho- nenr? What rank does Ire hold in . the British army consistent with this act of extraordinary favour? Why , should the rules and regulations heretofore, for, we be lieve, fifteen years past, acted upon by the sovereign in the grant of this military order; be superseded in the case of, Colonel De Lacy Evans, and all the Majors- General of the army of Great Britain be passed o%er awl set aside that he.alone might. be. exalted ?„ One .of the rules by which the grant of the decoration of the Bath has for many years beeil restricted is, that the title 0f . ." Knight Commander' should not' be conferred upon any military person of rank inferior to that of Major- General. Another rule—and one which has in no case, as we are informed, of a British subject, been dispensed with since . the year ISlS—is, that none should obtain the distinction of a Knight Commander who had not al.. ready been a Companion of the Bath.. Now, in respect of Colonel Evans, both the above laws have been yin. late& • Colonel Evans is , not a Major General in the British service, vet has obtained-a Knight Conimandery. of. the ,Bath. The gallant Colonel; moreover, has been made a Knight, Conimande per saltunz, never having previously enjoyed the rank ofKnight -Companion.. repeat our question,—why have such things happened?" For our parts we shall not dispute Colonel De Lacy Eyans' courage, but we have yet. _to learn in what parti culats, in a military. sense, nature has been so liberal to his mind, as to justify his patrons in breaking through all rules of precedent—all rules of military etiquette — and force nponitim (the -instrument of their folly and outrage) a distinction, whiiah, following so closely upon late: isasters in the field, an only make him look more awk rd and ridiculous than ever. We are moire aware that, Colonel Evans has voted_ as often with the Crim.- Cnnnell cabinet as he posWibly could, without actually trampling consistency under root ;—we'are quite aware tltat.his heart has always been with thetreaaary; ,but, he owes-no thanks tolier Majesty's ministers as a body. It is to Lord Palmerston—to the man who conferred upon the electors of Westminster the honour of placing their representative at the head of a parcel Of drabs and ritraf,in Spain—that Colonel De Lacy Evans owes..the distinction of being made a Knight: Commander. of ate Bath. It would have accorded much better with Colonel Evanes.deportment as a gentleman, and capacity as a militaiy . man,.to have `given hint the clerkship of the, ordnance, vacated by Sir A. L. Hay. la this case he would not have -been under the • irksome necessity. of studying a higher •standard of dignity and refinement than' he has been accustomed to; his natural bearing would () are required no tutoring, but would have sufli ciently suited iris new office, and he would have been in the receipt of a handsome salary. This, however, could not' he. • There were many important and influential ex-- pectants, and the fact of there being some emolument attached to_the vacant office, was fatal to the Colonel's application (for it. is currently reported that he did ap ply-,),and an honour worthy a prouder soul. was reserved for him by my Lord Palmerston—the , friend who had helped him to tarnish his own and the British name- in thefield. We can easily understand - the dilemmas in which a. weak and fallin,g,administration occasionally find themselves, and the.•distinetion conferred on Colonel Evans has been the restaof one of them. • • . • NORTHERN AND CENTRAL BANK OF ENGLAND. The ball' yearly general meeting of the shareholders in this concern was held on TliursdJV forenoon, 'at Ladyinao's, ;Van chester. The object Of . the "Meeting was to enable the gliretiots and insneCtors a p *t r ted twelve months ago to lay ,before the p . 01 .44 _ • • shareholdeis a statement or the affa ir s of the h ank vp io the . 34th Dec. last, 'and e 6 elect - tvM' directors in the o r two retiring, according tolhe of the deed of settlement.

The two directors retiring are Mr, Thomas Benvon and Mr. James Woodall. Mr. STUBns read a tabular statement of the actual and esti mated loss, adding, that in it the blackest side of the p . cture was given. The following are the totals he gave, of losses at the different branches:— Bangor l , -21816 3 Birmingham Bolion Bradford Bristol Carnarvon Chester 2,593 16 16 I Cleckheaton Congleton - COlne Denbigh Evesham Holyweil Halifax..

Ile related a case at the Leeds branch, where a person whom he would have not trusted with a suit of clothes without security, owed the bank no less a sum than £13,000. The great error of theold directors was in not haying an inspector to Inspect weekly the branches and to report to the bead office. In this respect there had beeo gross mismanagement, in consequence of which the prOPerty of the shareholders had been lost Mr Ogilvie moved an aineodtnent to the effect that the report be not passed at present; and that two auditors be appointed to examine the books and accounts, and report to an adjourned meeting to be held on the 26th April next. Mr. Smith said the amendment was equivalent to a declaration of want of confidence in the inspectois and the dew 41frecturs. (Cries of " Mr. Waddington, a director, who went to Leeds in July, ex plained, atconsiderable length, how - a large portion of the late losses had occurred at that place. Tifey were partly by bad debts .and partly by a depreciated s t ock of woollens and machinery. -This would account for £21,000 of the loss of £45,000, and Mr. Connell could explain the other. The directors had been most grossly deceived. Mr. Connell' said the question was the most important how the bank appeared to be £45.000 worse than it was six months ago. In June.lB37, he was a patty to Makin;; a correct and faithful •timate of the assets that would remain after payment of all the debtc, and every account, bill, and debt was seperatelv gone into: They were dealing with assets to the amount of £1,400,0U0 be longing to the shareholders. Notwithstanding thiS amount he -and his colleagues had been mistaken in only three oat; iculars; , first at London in £2o,Boo.mainlv in oneaccount ; at Noilingham .E6OOO, and at the bead office ElO,OOO. They had also charged the shareholders with the liability to pay £4BOO, which' might come against the directors as law and other charges. He I hen impressed on the meeting that everything had been done in the way of liquidating the claims of tyie Bank of England. After some (list ussion, in which Mr. Greie-, 1t r. Brool.e, DI r. - Wilson, and others took part, Mt. Ogilvie consenieti fi t with draw his amendment. The motion for the recent ion of the re port was carried almost Onanimoosly. , A Shareholder enquired what portion or the £1;3,000 assets was still owing by the di) eciois Mr. Conoell'S reply was that he could not answer ibis ques tion quite correctly. Twelve months ago it Was suite': the inspectors hat - secut v had teen received from the ilii - eonfs tor all their debts t o the bank. Toe elder part, if' aot the whole . that security, consisted of shai - es of various Linds. At that tiale ; the security was itiouf , itt sufficient. Bet sam es sorrel ed agent depreciatit;n soon arie , wards. ant: teen rhedi ectors were edited ,upon to give ailditionat security.

Several long liscussions ensued. but not or mio'h interest. On the *notion of Mt. Ogilvie, seconded by Mr. Greig, who warmly eulogised Mr. Cassels, a commitiee of live shareholders Was aonoinied to investigate his case, in the meanttme all pro eeedings to be susnenued. After several unimportant inotions, inaaks nete voted to the elsaiimatt and Ire threctots, and the tneetiog separated. STATE TRADE. (Kota ifaH , ..teste) Currier.)

SCENE IN A WORKHOUSE, (F)ont Bentley's Miscellany fitv " Oliver Twist," by Buz.) . The night was bilter,cold; the snow lay upon the ground frozen morn a haul thick crust, so that only the heaps that had tittttrt-d into fry-ways an" corners were affected lry. the sharp wind that how ed ~broad, which, as if expendin g i ncrease d fury l 0,) Sur, h tire as it round, caught it savagely up in the clouds, a iitl..whit hug ii into a thousand mighty .eddies, scattered it in a itt. bleat., dark, and piercing cold, it was a night for the well 7 fututted and fed to draw round the bright lire and thank Goo t hey we, eat home; and for the homeless starving wretch lotrie. I Many hunger-wore outcasts dose their eyes in our °ate t.treets at such tjutes, who, lel, their crimes be what they may. cart flintily open them in a more hitter world. Stich was the aspect or out-of-door antis when Mrs. Corney, motion of the workhouse to which Our readers have been 'inirodueed al the birth-place of Oliver Twist, set herself dowo herrn e a cheerful, the in her own little room, and glanced with no small degree of complacency at at small round table, on which Mohr' a tray of corresponding size, furnished with all necessary materials fur the most grateful meals that matrons enjoy. I u fact, Mrs. Cornev was about to solace herself wiih ,cup of leak and as she gla nce d f rom th e t a bl e t o t h e f i replace where the smallest Of all p oss ibl e k e ttl es was s i ng i ng a small ' song in a small voice, her ,inward satisfaction ev id ent l y in creased, so much SO, indeed, that she smiled. " ' Well," said the matron. leaning herelbow on the table, and looking reflectively at the fire, "l am sure we have all of us a great deal to be thankful for —a great deal, if we did but know' it. Ah !" Mrs. Cornet/ shook her head mournfully, as if deplori n g th e mental blindness of the paupers who . did not know it, and, thursting a silver spoon (private property) into the inmost re cesses of a two-ounce tin tea-caddy proceeded to make the tea. How slight a thing will disturb' the equanimity of our frail minds! The black tea-pot, being very small aro easily filled, ran over while Mrs. Cornet/ was moralizing, and the water slightly scalded Mrs. Corney's hand. " Drat the pot !" said the woithy matron, setting it down very hastily on the hob; " a little stupid thing that only holds a couple of cups . ! What use is it of to anybody, exceed," said Mrs. Corricy, pausing, "to a poor desolate creature like me Oh dear!" 7 With these words the matron dropped into her chair, and, once attire resting her elbow on the tab! tl ol for her solitary fate. The small teapot and the hail sin.le e 'crp urs awakened in her mind sad recollections of Mr. Ca rne y , " ( dead more than five-and-twenty • years,( had not been '; ‘ i h t i l ) she was over pov erea.

" At . your service, Ira am, said Mr..Buinlile, who had been stopping out side to rub h; 9 shoes clean, and shake the snow of his coal, and who unit. made his appeatanee,'hea'ring the cocked hat in one hand and a bundle in the other. •• Shall I shut . the door ma'am ?" The lady modestly hesitated to reply, lest there should b e any impropriety in holding 'an interview with Mr.'Buttible with closed doors. Mr. Bumble, taking advantage 9f the hesitation,' and being v ery cold himself, shut it without further permission. " Hard weather, Mr. Bumble," said the matron.. " Hard, indeed, tna'ain."replied the beadle. "Antiporochial Weather an's, ma'am. We have given away, Airs.

"If you please, mistress." said a withered old female pauper, hidtquslV ugly, putting her head in at the door, " old Sally is a-going fast." " Well, what's that to me !" angrilv demanded the matron, " I can't keep her alive, can I ?"

At this intelligence the worthy Mrs. Cornet/ muttered a" Vh riety of invectives against old women who couldn't even die without purposely annoying their betters ; and muffling herself in a thick shawl which she hastily caught up, briefly requested Mr. Bumble to stop till she came back;lest anything particular should occur, and bidding the messenger %lan: fast, and not be all night hobbling up the stairs, followed her from the room with a very ill grace,. scolding all the way.

TOKEN OF ESTEEM. —On Tuesday evening, a number of voting men, who had received their education at the Blue Coat. nospiial, met together at Jack's Coffee-house, Clayton-square, where a handsome supper was provided for the occasion, tot the purpose of presenting a silver snuffbox to Mr. William Foster, the highlv-res:iected governor of that institution,. as a tOken of their esteem for his kindness and benevolence shown towards them during their residence in the school. We,can conceive nothing more honourable to all the parties than, such a sponta neous expression of affection and gratitude on the part of 'Mr. Foster's, former, pupils, many of whom are now respectably settled in life; and we are sure that such a tribute of affection must bare been highly. flattering to the worthy gentleman .him self. It would lie well for the comfort of society, were the in stances more frequent, of reciprocal feelings ofkindness, amongst thole whom Providence has called to occupy different Spheres in the business of human.life. The. box is a very handsome one :.on the outside is an engraving of the Blue Coat Hospital, and on the lid, inside, is the fuliowing inscription --"P leseu wd to Mr. William Foster, by a tew grateful pupils, as a token o f their high esteem and regard for the moral and religious in struction imparted to them, while under his care." As a still tort her proof of the esteont nr which Mr. Foster is held, we may state, that seveial of the trustees of the institution were present at the entertainment. THE.
