is impossible to peruse any of Crabbe's productions without feeling yourself to be in the hands of a writer of great power, and a true poet. In some of his pieces he has displayed both a soaritir imagination and a delicate sense of beauty ; but he is most popularly known as the poet of poverty and wretchedness— the stern explorer and describer of the deepest and darkest recesties of human suffering and crime. Perhaps he has occa sionally painted the gloom of the regions in which he was thus accustomed to wander with somewhat of exaggeration ; but it would be easy to select abundant proo - - he delineated with an unsparing pencil vices of the poor, he could also sympat 25t—Sir Robert Walpole, born 16 statesman was the descendant of a vt minated from Walpole, St. Peter's, i eldest' surviving son of Robert Waipoli at Eton and King's College, Cambr married Catherine, daughter of Sir Jot L.onaQn, a woman of exquisite On hi§ father's death in 1700 he was ment for Castle Rising, but afterward and was egularly chosen for that plat of Orford.

Ladies who prefer walking should always, when practicable, have a companion. If a gentleman, so much the better, as there are many idle, well-dressed scoundrels commonly prowling about, who take every opportunity of annoyiug the uuprotected female. This particular class is made up of blacklegs, ruined gamesters, and the swell mob ; and many of them make a good harvest out of watches, chains, and other trinkets, which ladies too often foolishly display. While on this subject, we recommend those travelling to take a hint on this point: we are con tinually reading in the police reports of robberies London in the streets, omnibuses, 4.c. ; and really it zz, impudent for ladies to display gold watches and chains— it is a sort of premium to temptation. We also caution them against stopping to look into the' shop-windows, how ever, great may be the temptation ; as it is at such places the lady is most like:y to lose any property she may have about her. AN about ON-COMMISSIONED OFFICER (PORTSEA).—The escapes are almost miraculous. A private addressing his brother at Nottingham, says :—" I had a very narrow escape my self th'e other night, when I was at work in the trenches. It was about 12 o'clock at night, and we were having our grog' served to us, and I had got the pot to my lips, when a grape shot, weighing 2 lbs„ whizzed past, and took the pot right out of my hand, not doing me any harm, but d 1 appointing me very much in respect of losing my grog.
