​SLOAN. (Lieut., 1812. f-p., 12; h-p., 32.)
George Sloan was born about 1780.
This officer (who had previously been in the merchant-service) entered the Navy, 4 July, 1803, as A.B., on board the Gannet sloop, Capts. Edw. Bass, Jas. Robt. Philips, Chas. Philip Butler Bateman, and Jas. Stevenson; in which vessel he was for upwards of four years and a half chiefly employed in the Channel. In 1807 he accompanied, in the capacity of Master-Mate (a rating he had attained in April, 1805), the expedition against Copenhagen; where, on the surrender of the Danish fleet, he assisted in fitting out the Little Belt 24. On his return to England in the Sarpen 18, another of the prizes, he assisted in dismantling the rest of the captured ships. He was subsequently employed – from 23 April, 1808, until 8 Oct. 1811, as Master’s Mate and Acting-Lieutenant (order dated 17 Nov. 1810) in the Amelia 38, Capt. Hon. Fred. Paul Irby, on the coast of France and Spain and among the Western Islands – from 9 Oct. 1811 until 21 April, 1812, as a Supernumerary Midshipman, in the Royal William, Capt. Robt. Hall, at Spithead – from 22 April until 26 Aug. 1812, as Admiralty- Midshipman, in the Montagu 74, flag-ship of Rear-Admiral Manley Dixon in South America – and from 26 Aug. in the latter year until 29 Aug. 1814, as Acting-Lieutenant and Lieutenant (commission dated 30 Dec. 1812) in the Bonne Citoyenne 20, Capt. Pitt Burnaby Greene, on the same, the Home, and West India stations. In the Amelia he contributed to the destruction of three French frigates under the batteries of Sable d’Olonne, 24 Feb. 1809; witnessed the capture of La Mouche corvette of 16 guns and 180 men. La Rejouie national brig of 8 guns and 51 men, a schooner of 1 gun and 25 men, two armed luggers with cargoes (all taken on one occasion, in company with the Statira 38) and Le Charles privateer of 20 guns, 300 tons, and 170 men; and aided in causing the self-destruction, 25 March, 1811, of L’Amazone, a French frigate of the largest class, which had been driven into a bay near Cape Barfleur. While Mr. Sloan was acting as First-Lieutenant in the Bonne Citoyenne that ship unfortunately took the ground, with nearly half a million of money on board, and was in consequence obliged to be hove down. The specie was forthwith discharged into a Portuguese vessel, and sent home under the care of himself and the Master, the only officers on board. Since Aug. 1814 the Lieutenant, who had not until then been more than six weeks on shore since he entered the Navy, has been on half-pay.

​SMAIL. (Lieut., 1812. f-p., 12; h-p., 29.)
William Archibald Smail (brother of the present Lieut. Jas. Smail, R.N., and of Lieut. John Smail, R.N., who died in 1804) is nephew of the late Admirals Wm. Dickson and Sir Arch. Dickson, Bart.
This officer entered the Navy, 16 June, 1806, as Sec.-cl. Boy, on board the Nassau 64, Capt. Robt. Campbell; under whom, after blockading the Texel and accompanying the expedition against Copenhagen, we find him (on being extricated from a mass of ice in which the Nassau had been blocked up during the whole winter) assisting, 22 March, 1808, in company with the Stately 64, at the capture and destruction, on the coast of Zealand, of the Danish 74 Prindts Christian Frederic – an exploit accomplished at the end of a running fight of great length and obstinacy productive of a loss to the Nassau of 2 men killed and 16 wounded. In Nov. 1809 Mr. Smail, who had attained the rating of Midshipman in Sept. 1806, and had made a voyage to St. Helena, removed to the Orion 74, Capt. Sir Archibald Collingwood Dickson. In that ship, in which he continued until the summer of 1812, he served at the blockade of Carlskrona and Danzig, and visited the coast of Portugal. On leaving her he was ordered to join, with the rank of Acting-Lieutenant, the flotilla employed in the defence of Riga. Before, however, he could reach that place the siege was raised, and his services in consequence were not required. He had become attached in the mean time, as a Supernumerary, to the Cressy 74 and Hamadryad 36, Capts. Chas. Dudley Pater and Edw. Chetham; in the boats of which latter ship and the Clio 18, commanded by Lieut.

For the services he performed on this occasion he was officially promoted 17 Dec. following. His last appointments were – 23 May, 1813, to the Akbar 50, Capts. Archibald Dickson and Chas. Bullen, employed on the Brazilian, North Sea, and Halifax stations – and 8 April, 1817, after three months of half-pay, to the Rochfort 80, guard-ship at Portsmouth, Capt. Sir A. C. Dickson, with whom he continued until paid off in Aug. 1818.

SUMMER SONGS.
BY MRS. HEMANS.
NO. VII.—THE FAIRIES' RECAL.
While the blue is richest
 In the starry sky,
While the softest shadows
 On the greensward lie;
While the moonlight slumbers
 In the lily's urn,
Bright Elves of the wild wood!
 Oh, return, return!
Round the forest fountain,
 On the river shore,
Let your silvery laughter
 Echo yet once more;
While the joyous boundings
 Of your dewy feet
Ring to that old chorus
 "The Daisy is so sweet!*"
Oberon, Titania!
 Did your woodland mirth
With the Song of Avon
 Quit this work-day earth?
—Yet, while green leaves listen,
 And while bright stars burn,
By that magic memory,
 Oh, return, return!

MIGNON'S SONG IN REMEMBRANCE OF ITALY.
TRANSLATED FROM THE GERMAN OF GOETHE, BY MRS. HEMANS.
MIGNON'S SEHNSUCHT.
Kennst du das Land? wo die Citronen blühn,
Im dunkeln Laub die Gold-Orangen glühn,
Ein sanfter Wind vom blauen Himmel weht,
Die Myrtle still, und hoch der Lorber steht.
Kennst du es wohl?—
—Dahin! dahin!
Möcht' ich mit dir, O mein Geliebter! ziehn.
Kennst du das Haus? auf Saülen ruht sein Dach,
Es glänzt der Saal, es schimmert das Gemach,
Und Marmorbilder stehn und sehn mich an:
“Was hat man dir, du armes Kind, gethan?”
Kennst du es wohl?—
—Dahin! dahin!
Möcht' ich mit dir, O mein Beschützer! ziehn.
Kennst du den Berg und seinen Wolkensteg? Das Maulthier sucht im Nebel seinen Weg,
In Höhlen wohnt der Drachen alte Brut,
Es stürzt der Fels, und über ihn die Fluth.
Kennst du es wohl?—
—Dahin! dahin!
Geht unser Weg! O Vater, lasst uns ziehn!
A young and enthusiastic girl (the character in one of Goethe's Romances, from which Sir Walter Scott's Fenella has been partially copied) is supposed to have been stolen in early childhood from Italy. Her vague recollections of that land, and of the Palace-home, from which she is an exile, are perpetually haunting her, and break forth at times into the following song:
Know'st thou the Land where bloom the Citron bowers?
Where the gold Orange lights the dusky grove?
High waves the Laurel there, the Myrtle flowers,
And thro' a still blue Heaven the sweet winds rove.
Know'st thou it well?—
—there, there, with thee,
O Friend! O loved one! fain my steps would flee!
Knows’t thou the Dwelling?—there the Pillars rise,
Soft shines the Hall, the painted Chambers glow;
And forms of Marble seem with pitying eyes
To say—"poor child! what thus hath wrought thee woe?"
Know'st thou it well?—
—there, there, with thee,
O my Protector! homewards would I flee!
Know'st thou the mountain?—high its bridge is hung,
Where seeks the Mule through mist and cloud his way;
There lurk the Dragon-race, deep caves among,
O'er beetling Rocks there foams the torrent-spray;
Know'st thou it well?—
—with thee, with thee,
There lies my path; O Father! let us flee!

# A Poem of Felicia Hemans in The Christmas Box, 1829/The Name of England

THE NAME OF ENGLAND.
BY MRS. HEMANS.
The trumpet of the battle
 Hath a high and thrilling tone,
And the first deep gun of an ocean fight,
 Dread music all its own.
But a mightier power, my England,
 Is in that name of thine,
To strike the fire from every heart
 Along the banner'd line.
Proudly it woke the spirits
 Of you, the tried and true,
When the bow was bent on Cressy's field
 And the yeoman's arrow flew.
And proudly hath it floated
 Through the battles of the sea,
When thy queenly flag o'er the smoke-wreaths play'd, Like the lightning in its glee.
On wave, on rock, on bastion,
 Its echoes have been known;
By a thousand streams the hearts lie low,
 That have answer'd to its tone.
A thousand ancient mountains
 Its pealing notes hath stirr'd; Sound on, and on, for evermore,
 Oh, thou victorious word!
