baibler, 124, Oxford-stre author ot London: Francis It is not often that, in noticing a work of poetry, a r viewer is induced to 1 pauied. We are comp sent case ; for, however itself— ,rst instance .ccom ,owever, to do this in the pre eat may be the merits of the , poem Luther, contained itt the inttc sketch of the life of 13, will, we feel conviuced, oe the first to attract the attention of the re der wbb brings to the perusal of the poem a due or even a dim idea of character of the great reformer, whose writings anu tenets it has been the object of our author to place, in the magnificent is muse, before ns colouring roduction in au esti( poem of Mr. Montgomer Character or Lu extending to upwards of 140 ton to th, 1 in fancy nue. I eloquence, arb of metre and appreciation of the when the earthy name of the man sLa convictions of the searcher after divine truth. We must con template him in his daily converse with those who shared his conflicts, who witnessed his weaknesses, and into whose ears he poured out the feelings which now impelled him on and now dragged him back from the goal which he had placed before him. We must watch, in fine, the progress of his mighty mind, united as it wag with a temperament' equally calculated to wreck as to bear it to a secure harbour, from its first darkling perception of error, through all its intermediate stages, until it emerged at lerig and perfect conviction to be a beacon light to point the wa :th into the full blaze of truth for all ages to come. Through such an examination Mr. Montgomery has led us in the essay which he entitles an introduction to the poem of " Luther ;" and the style in which he has executed his task is so piquant that it cannot fail to win the attention of the most superficial reader and to tempt him, as it were, into an exa mination of the depths of the character of this extraordinary man. He has brought to his aid, too, the fruits of an exten sive reading which he has intertwined with bursts of enthu siastic description which are irresistibly pleasing. There is an occasional mannerism of style—an affectation of German mysticism extending to the verge of the unintelligible — which will somewhat detract, in the estimation of most Eng lish readers, from the delight which his poetic prose excites ; but the blemish is scarcely one which will be sensibly felt, and is, perhaps, calculated to give a freshness and originality to the thoughts which are thus set before us in an outlandish garb. We will endeavour to select a specimen or two of Mr, Montgomery's peculiar style. And, first, we have a graphic picture of Luther's mode of treating a Popish bull : " But the war is raging ; on the one side, stands the miner's son, firm and unflinching as granite, for the truth ; and on the other,—the Pope, the Devil, and the world, with all their pomps and braveries and threats, and arts, ag._ him ! And vet, listen I.—bow the monk will keep them all, bay ; shaking them off front him, like a stormful Boanerges with indignant, but not ungraceful, determination. "The glory of the Pontificate is departed. The wrath of God is c ome upon it for ever." "To every man lam prepared to give way in all things, BUT THE WORD OF GOD I DARE NEITHER ABANDON NOR DENY." Now this prepares us for the scene that shortly followed. The infinitely miserable and detestable bull of the Pope, having been at last promul gated by Eckius, and Luther's writing being actually burnt in various towns,—tbe brave Martin is determined to have a bonfire too ; and as noble a one it shall he as ever sent up its flaming appeal to the skies.—On the 10th of December an invitation is affixed to a black board for the students at Wit temberg to attend this Lutheran firework. And, lo !at nine in the morning, just as the chime is sounding, forth cometh Luther, from the Elster Gate, encircled by a goodly number of Doctors, Masters of Arts, and Students, and there I—bark to the rejoicing crackle of the flames as they demolish with burning rapidity (as if they loved their work) Canon Law, Decretals, Clementines, the Extravagants, and parts of Eckius and Eraser's work. As soon as these are annihilated, forth steps Doctor Martin, holding the infamous Bull in his band, and exclaiming aloud,—`! Because thou hest grieved the saints of the Lord, so mayest thou be grieved and con demned by the everlasting fire." . It mtist have been a heart shaking spectacle, this egregious bonfire : one may be excused a desire to have warmed one's hands in the reflection of its blaze ; or to have taken a look at the fine, craggy, and open fronted visage of the redoubtable Doctor, when his great black eyes were glittering with fearless light, white his voice rolled its solemn intonations over the mute and admiring assembly. But that suspended breath was so-an unloosed; and what a shout went up at the conclusion of this moral jabilee I—The world is haunted with its echoes still." We give another extract descriptive of the great reformer as he appeared within his domestic circle. It is beautifully written, and presents a pleasing contrast with the style of the preceding When we analyse the character of the Reformer asa. man, next to the Idealism of his nature, —we delight to re cognise the exquisite sociality of his temperament. There_was no ascetism, cant, or pharisaic airs and graces about him. He hated trick, pomposity, and pretens' -- - him, with a hearty disdain, all those n which appertain to the mere drama of external piety, but have nothing to do with the healthful spirituality of the genuine Christian. At the fireside, in the bosom of his family, or amid the circle of attached friends,—Luther ap pears to have been the very fascination of companionship. He could laugh, and sing, and converse; utter his witticisms, and throw forth those gleams and sparkles of innocent mirth, which the hypocrite, or mere practiser of religious pantomime, can neither admire nor understand. And then, what bursts and outbreaks of thrilling p athos, and poetic feeling, and im passioned enthusiasm were bleat with all this ! Truly, it was worth a walk of some few hundred miles to have heard Doctor Martin hold bis vivid conversations with those assembled round his family board ; and there behold the same man, whose unquailing heart had faced and fronted all the batteries of Rome, subsiding into the laughing simplicity of childhood and mirth :—after all, he has lost one of the finest elements of a feeling manhood, both in faith and character, who retains none of the child about him. " But Luther's radiant happiness arose not only from the fervour and freshness of an elastic temperament, but his very religion was the divinity of joy. He was a PARDONED man ; and felt himself to be so, on the intelligible basis of gospel truth, and therefore had (with some intermissions) joy and peace in believing.' With him, Christianity was not,an in sulated act, a sacramental right, or an observed institute alone; it was far more than this,—it was a renewal of NA TURE, evidenced by all the tangible experiences of a new life : it was Christ within—the hope of glory.' He lived up to what Le believed ; and thus, there is a spiritual ease, hearti ness, and simplicity in all the motions of this man's religious character. Religion was not put on him by imitative effort, bat put into him by efficient grace. And thus the sociality of the man was not checked or chilled by the sanctity of the Christian ; but, on the contrary, expanded, purified, and en ambled by being brought into contact with it. All relations were redeemed into him in Christ ; and he had.learned the blessed science of connecting every thing with the atoning purchase of the Saviour's blood. As to the honesty, unworld liness, and thorough-paced integrity of Luther,—even the bitterest of his Jesuitical foes have admitted this. He never defiled himself with the ' Mammon of unrighteousness but lived, in the main, a poor man all his days, perpetually re fusing imperial bounties and aid. But we must not omit to remark, in this glance at Luther's private character,—bow strangely, and almost mysteriously, the chords of his whole spiritual and moral being vibrated to the appeals of melody. lu fact, to him, music was almost the religion of sound; it hovered, and trembled, and played like a subtle and sub duing magic over his fine imagination, and seemed to have an effect upon his wasted mind,—akin to that which the balm, and breeze, and beauty of a rustic walk in the May time has upon a convalescent frame." The notes to the poem, which run on to upwards of 12C Pages of closely-printed matter, contain a mass of evidence and illustration of the leading features of Luther's career, in well as of the eventful time in which be lived ; and are at thl of the work in question : an accompaniment " Walton Reelory► March 9,,1842, present moment truly invaluable. But they arc more espe cially SO, on account of the authoritative form in which they bring before us those doctrines and practices of Roruanism against which our great reformer so energetically protested.

THE EARTH QUAKE. - it is not generally known that an earthquake, similar that recently expected, was predicted during the administration of Sir R. Walpole. It was pro ductive of as much alarm as the anticipated catastrophe of March, 1842.

PEEIJURY MARCH OF INTELLECT.—The lady of one of our trades men, a short time ago, having rung for her servant, was sur prised at her delay, and proceeding to her bed-room to ascertain the cause, to her great surprise found the girl stand ing in front of her looking glass, reciting a portion of Byron's poetry, and suiting the action to the word.—BrightonGa.zette.

Sir Robert Peel has silenced all his political opponents, and nothing is now heard but praises of his comprehensive and most enlightened policy.' Not a paper do we open, whether Whig, tory, or radical, but is warm in expressions regarding the honourable baronet's boldness—his honesty of purpose—his profound abilities!

IL "iiSiatson, in Over Wyersdale, on Saturday morning last, about one o'clock. The thieves had broken a pane of glass in the kitchen window, by- which means they were enabled to open t l he latch of the sash, and so effected an entrance into th e kitchen; they then broke open the kitchen door, which was fastened On the lobby side, and proceeded to Mr. and Mrs. Watson's bed-room door, which was locked ; they called out " open the'door." Mr. Watson demanded who they were, and what they wanted, and receiving no answer he refused to open the door. The next moment they shivered the door to pieces, and three ruffians entered the room, all disguised, ut tering the most dreadful imprecations. Mr. and Mrs. Wat son asked them it they wanted money ; saying, if they did, they should have ail the money they had in the house: Their reply was, " Yes, but we'll murder the old —;" at the same tune one presented something like a gun, another a pistol. at Mr. W. ; the third began striking himain the head, face, and arms, with a bludgeon in a most savage manner, and seizing liim"by the throat with his left hand, threw him on the bed and nearly strangled him. All the while tfils was going on, two of them used the most horrid thr eatenin g s against is wife, uttering the most disgusting curses. They then demanded that their money should . he given to them im mediately. Mrs. Watson then brought all the money they had in the house, consisting of a £5 Bank of England note , and some silver. They hsitated taking the note, saying, "bring out that bag of sovereigns, we don't want notes." One of them espied Mr. Watson's watch, and put it in his pocket. After asking for some rum, end being told by Mrs. W. that there was none in the house, they hastily left the premises as it alarmed.—Lancaster Gazette. BANK OF ENGLAND.—The half yearly general meeting of the proprietors of the Bank of England was held on Friday, and the dividend for the half-year was fixed at 34 per cent. At this meeting the objections to one of the details of the in come tax, supposing it to be levied dverywhere at an uniform rate, were . made in a definite form. There was scarcely a dissentient voice as to the propriety of memorializing Sir R. Peel on the subject, and indeed the meeting was dissolved somewhat earlier than usual to allow the directors sufficient time to prepare a memorial so important. The condition in which the bank stands at present. is of itself sufficient to make them remarkably sensitive as to any severe pressure on their income. A rough estimate made by one of the pro prietors to-day gave the amount the bank would have to pay, if 7d. in the pound were levied on their terminable annuities, as above £30,000 per annum, while the addition to the " rest" for the half-year just closed does not exceed £7OOO. The present amount of the dividend (7 per cent. per annum) is the subject of renewed complaint every half-year, and the result of this calculation seemed to threaten a still further reduction of the interest On bank stock. To show how general the feeling on this subject was among the proprietors, is should be observed that they, as distinguished from the directors, seemed anxious to take the responsibility of the memorial on themselves, and to make it visible that it was their own act. It was this question of the income tax that was in fact ,the leading feature of the meeting. Some re flections were cast on the conduct of the Bank of England for not joining with the other holders of the " repudiated Exchequer-hills" in petitioning parliament, by one of the proprietors, but this made no great impression, and as it was ascertained that the bank held no more than £BOOO of these bills, the main curiosity connected with this matter was soon satisfied. The general questions put to the directors were even of a leas searching character than usual, as the feeling on the subject of the income t ax appeared to be too absorb ing to admit of more trifling matters of debate. COMMUNICATION BETWEEN LONDON AND DUBLIN. — The following is a copy of the resolution passed on this sub ject at the meeting of Irish and Welsh members, held in London on the 9th inst., and since presented by the deputa tion to Lord Eliot, and upon which his lordship has under taken to act :---`! That a deputation from the present meeting be appointed to wait upon Lord Eliot, us chief secretary for Ireland—first, to request that his lordship will draw the at tention of her Majesty's government to the great public im portance of improving the communication between London Ind Dub' . -erting to,the prese long and inconvenient aui by Liver a that the power passag, e uoi, and the constoel....._ of steam is available for travelling by railway, in a proportion of about three to one of the speed that can be attained at sea; secondly, to request that Lord Eliot will have the good ness to communicate with the Board of Admiralty, referring eports of Captain Beaufort , R.N., presented to the au& of Commons, on the 14th of March, 1837, of Lieut aeringham, dated the 14th of March and 17th of May, 1838, espectively, on the harbours of Holyhead and Portdynllaen, in pursuance of the repot of the select committee, appointed by the House of Commons to inquire into the existing com munication between London and Dublin, of the Bth of July, 1836; and to the report of Rear-Admiral Sir James Gordon and Captain Beechey, R.N.,. of the 14th of January, 1810, relative to the best means of communicating between London and Dublin, in pursuance of an address of the House of Commons, of the 12th of August, 1839, with the view of ob taining the opinion of the Board of Admiralty op the relative ca pabilities of the ports of Holyhead and Portdynllaen for the purpose of a packet station for such communication, or the construction of works suitable to a packet establishment, for the use of steam-vessels of a class sufficient to secure, as fas as is practicable, expedition and certainty in the passage, at all seasons of the year." TRIAL FOR A MURDER TWELVE YEARS SINCE. — At the York assizes on Wednesday and Thursday, Robert Goles brcugh was tried for the murder of William Huntley, at Cra thorne, in July, 1830, by shooting him with a loaded gun. It will be recollected that in August last a skeleton, sup posed to be that of the deceased, was found by some men who were making a drain, and that the prisoner and another man, named Grundy, were apprehended on the charge of having murdered him. Grundy committed suicide in gaol, and the prisoner manifested great trepidation on having the skull suddenly placed before him. The circumstances of suspicion were very strong ; for Huntley•had been last seen in the company of Golesbrough and Grundy, and when missed w as represented by them to have gone to America. The jury were nut satisfied with the identity of the skull, and acquitted the prisoner. to the r MEETING OF THE IRISII SCRIPTURE READERS' SO CIETY.—The first of the annual religious meetings, held usu ally at this season, took place on Thursday at the Rotunda— St. Patrick's being the anniversary day of the society for, diffusing a knowledge of the scriptures. through the Irish language. The chair was taken by the Right Hon. the Earl of Roden—a nobleman ever foremost in the promotion of the spiritual, temporal, and political interests of his country. The adoption of the report was moved, in a speech of much s i m ple eloquence and most interes tin g detail, by the Venera ble the Archdeacon of Emily ; and being seconded by the Rev. R. Winning, presbyterian minister of King's Court, who enjoys the high honour; we believe, of being the founder of the society — it was unanimously adopted. The meeting was subsequently addressed by the Rev, H. Newman, Dean of Cork; the Rev. R. Ratcliffe, the Rev. A, Wynn, Rev, C. Beresford, &c.—and the proceedings were closed by a luminous and most Christian address from the noble chair man. The _approbation of a nobleman, whose life we may say has been devoted to the creation and maintenance of a spirit of Christian exertion, and who has taken so active a share in the management and surveillance of the several societies connected with the advancement of true religion in the United Kingdom, is perhaps the highest proof of the merits of this society, arid the best security to the public for the advantages it has been able, and is still labouring, to confer upon the population of Ireland.—Dublin Evening Mail.

In any other place the election of a poor-law guardian would excite little interest and no exasperation ; but here, even to propose one provokes an intimation to prepare for death. In a plight of this kind does Henry R. Foot, of Carrigacunna, Esq., find himself. He had the audacity. it seems, to think that Pierce Creagh, of Killavullen , Esq., would be a very proper guar dian of the interests of his district, and therefore resolved to put him in nomination. Mr. Creagh, however, though a Romanist, has the misfortune to be in disfavour with the priest, who prefers, it is said, a person of the name of Barry. Into the cause of the alleged preference or the alleged dis favour we do not enter; but it is, we suppose, known to " the people," by whom the pastoral predilections are es poused, and not only espoused, but asserted in a way which, whatever he the strength of his partialities, his reverence must condemn.

COLLECTION or THE INCOME TAx.—ln order to give an idea of the manner in which the income tax will be collected, we subjoin the following account of that proposed- and car. ried into effect by Mr. Pitt :—" According to the provisions of the act imposing this tax, all incomes of less than £7O a-year were exempted from assessment; an income of from £6O to £65 was taxed one hundred and twentieth part ; and the rate of duty increased through a variety of, gradations until the income reached £2OO or upwards, when it amounted to a tenth part, which was its utmost limit; a variety of de ductions being at the same time granted on account of chil dren, &c. The' commissioners to whom the managemeet of this tax was eutrusted were chosen by the freeholders of counties and the electors of boroughs, in the same way as their representatives in parliament, only that a smaller quali fication was sufficient to enable.any one to be elected a com missioner. The services of the commissioners were gratui tears, and they were sworn to preserve the most inviolable secrecy with respect to the affairs' of individuals. They were ' authorised to call for returns from every person whose income thee supposod to exceed a-year ; and in the event of their being dissatisfied with these returns, they were -em powered to call for written explanations, and, ultimately, for the oath of the party: But this examination was rarely ne cessary, except in the case of incomes derived from wages, from capital employed in manufacturing and commercial business, Or from the interest of loans ; the ;rental of land lords was, inmost cases, learned from the terms of the leases held by their tenants while the profits or incomes of the tenants were estimated to amount in England to three fourths, and in Scotland to half, the rent paid to the land lords. The commissioners were assisted, or rather over looked, by the tax-surveyors appointed by government, who were req uired to see the provisions of t he act strictl y en forced, ind whose duty it was to scrutinise all returns of in come—to challenge such as they considered fraudulent—to object to the deductions allowed by the ordinary commis_ sioners—and to bring the matter under the review of th e commissioners of appeal, whose sentence was final.—Ency clopadia Britannica, vol. XXI, p. 109, Article—Taxation .NEW ZEALAND AND AUSTRALIA.—On Friday a public meeting was held at the rooms of the City Colonial Society, Cornhill, London, to adopt measures for securing a regular and safe transit of passengers, goods, &c., to and from these colonies, across the isthmus of Panama. Mr. Cotter, of Port Phillip, in the chair. The chairman briefly stated the 'object of the meeting to be the shortening of the passage from this country to New Zealand and Australia•via Panama. Mr. Evans went into a long statement upon the present mode 'of travelling from this country-to Australia.ra The latter, he said, was 16,000 miles distant froth ores and that it required 66 days to reach it. by steam. The mode of transit proposed, via Panama, was by the West India steam mail packets to Clarges, which was distant 3,750 miles, a journey performed 'in 25 days. From Clarges the goods and passen gers would be passed over the isthmus of Panamato Port Nicholson, a distance of 6,280 miles, which would be' per formed in 26 days. Thence they would be conveyed_to Sydney, a further distance of 1,285 miles, which would be completed in five days. This overland travelling would be a saving of ten days within the time at present required. Mr. Walker (of Sydney) could state that the shortening of the said that he was distance from this country to Australia was an hobnestojectdesred q u il le ai m ut e ed o vk j ; g it . h . the intended by the colonists. More he could not say, as was ac ce of the parties who satisfied, gentleman ded P r from the survey taken py Mr. Lleyd, under the sanction of government, that a passage across the isthmus was impracti cable, from its being so shoally. There was a bay about eight miles higher up that would suit the navigation very well. Several gentlemen having expressed their tt was resolved to adjourn the meeting until the opinion of those who had crossed the isthmus could be obtained . Loss OF SEVENTEEN LlVES.—Extract of a letter frorr, Havre-de-Grace, dated. March 16 :—" Letters received here from Roaan, dated the 13th instant, report that the packet Le Commerce de Bordeaux, Captain Lunean, was wrecked that morning at two o'clock, at the Point de la Coubra. She had on board the crew of the Chateaubriand, as passengers, of whom, melancholy to relate, only one seaman and the ap nrentice were saved—all the rest, seventeen in number, un fortunately perished. It is also reported that Le Commerce has gone to pieces. A frightful accident occurred in Woombell's show of wild beasts at Stamford on Friday night last, owing to the indis cretion of a person in a state of intoxication. About nine o'clock, Mr. Francis Martin, farrrier, of Ufford, after being repeatedly cautioned that his teasing a very fine tiger in one of ,the cages was foolish and dangerous, was seized by the animal, which fixed its terrific teeth in the muscles and bones of the right fore-arm of Mr. Martin. Every effort to compel the tiger to loose, its jaws was ineffectual, until a hot iron was applied to its nostrils, and then Mr. Martin was able to drag himself away, having his arm lacerated and injured ,so dreadfully that danger of . fatal consequences still exiats.— Stamford Mercury. . PHOTOGRAPHIC PORTRAITS.—A very desirable improve ment, and one that has advanced per salium beyond all former steps in photographic art, has recently been introduced by an invention of Mr.. Fox Talbot, for which a patent has been taken out. The improvement consists in the portraits being taken oh paper, instead of on metallic plates, of their being indelible, of the extreme accuracy of likeness, the breadth of light and shadow, the general pictorial effect, and the capa bility of the portrait being multiplied into many copies or transcripts, or lac simile representations, without the sitter being required to sit for each portrait. They resemble sepia drawings, and are exceedingly true. The sitting requires but a minute, or two minutes, according to the brightness of the day. The paper is prepared with salts of silver, and subjected, by an apparatus furnished with glasses, to the rays of light, and the likeness is, as it were, absorbed by the paper. EXTRAORDINARY FRAUD ON AN INSURANCE Coats nANT.—Rumours state that the agent in this city (Exeter) of one of the London insurance-offices has been playing a very 'strange game. It seems that he insured, without instruc tions, two cottages at Broadclist, and immediately after wards claimed the amount of insurance, £l2O. s" The ready" not being forwarded so punctually as the agent desired, he again wrote up to the office saying, that the insured would be wil ling to accept £BO, provided that the money was remitted without delay. This strange communication surprised the insurers, and they accordingly despatched a surveyor to the scene of the reported fire, and he at once discovered that the cottage had neither been insured nor burnt down. A warrant against the agent was obtained on Friday last, but, in law phrase, at present he is non est inventus.—Western Times. EXECUTION.—We have just heard of a most disastrous occurrence which took place this week in the county of Fer managh. A number of persons assembled at a wake, some of whom had been at the assizes at Enniskillen, and wished to show the others how the business at assizes is conducted. Accordingly one person represented the judge, and others the counsellors ; a jury was empanelled, and a person ar raigned as prisoner; the jury found a verdict of guilty, and the prisoner was ordered for execution. A rope was name diately procured, and the poor fellow put standing on a creel with the rope fastened to a beam ; the executioner gave the creel a kick, the prisoner was thrown off, and before any assistance could be rendered him, life became extinct. We believe there was no malicious intention in the proceeding •, but it should be a warning to others in future not to trifle with such serious experiments.--Ballyshannon Herald.. .

Our report of the Cotton market for the last few days does not vary in the slightest degree from our last, all is quiet and inani mate, buyers merely taking for their immediate wants. On Satur day :sew) bales were sold, and to-day 4005 at last week's priand ces. The accotias from Manchester are still o f a gloomy natu re, manufactnr, rs seem disposed to adopt the plan of short time, though this is always a last resort in a time of low prices, when the risk of holding heavy stocks is so inconsiderable. COTTON MARKET.—WEEKLY REPORT. In the early part of the week the demand was moderate, the Trade supplying their immediate wants only; since Wednesday, however, there has been more doing, and as holders have last not pressed their stocks on the market quite so f r eel y , the prices of Week for all descriptions remain without change. Speculators have taken roes American, and Exporters 2,500 American and 300 Surat. 300 Sea Island are advertised for auction on Friday, Ist April.

The corn trade. litre, during the last two &Iva, has re mained in the same dull state as we have so frequently had occasion to report for some time past ; still, from the limited supplies received weekly of late, the stocks of the leading articles of free produce, although apparently in 'slow request, have been moving imperceptibly into consumption, and are . . considerably redii . ced in amount. At the opening of our market to-day the holders of Wheat evince+l rather more firmness, and somewhat higher prices were required ; but upon a moderate attendance only of buyers, and by no means a desire to purchase freely, the transactions, on the whole were limited, and no advance being obtainable, the current rates of Tuesday remained unvaried. Free Flour of. all sorts continued to meet a slow demand on the terms last noted. In bond, a cargo of Roman Wheat at Gs 3d per 701bs. and 1000 barrels of States Flour at 255, were disposed of. Barley, Malt, Beans,• and Peaie were saleable in small parcels merely, and scarcely maintained their previous value. Oats were little noticed to-day, but, from the short supply at hand, supported former prices. Oatmeal continued to meet some inquiry for investment, but although no sales for that purpose were reported this morning, a moderate quantity was sold to consumers, and the trade for this article exhibited a steady aspect at our last quotations.
