expressly for the purchase of pictures ; and that it will not be
necessary to expend the grant in each particular year, but
that it may be formed into a cumulative fund, out of which
considerable collections may occasionally be purchased, as
opportunity offers. This condition, however, is one which
will require to be narrowly watched. Misplaced partiality,
whim, or individual influence, may be so readily brought to
bear mile, expenditure of such a fund, that zealous watch-
fulness alone can secure its satisfactory outlay. By one
portion of the new arrangements Sir CHARLES EASTLAKE has
been appointed director, with authority, independent of and
paramount to that of the trustees, as to the purchase of any
picture or collection. The director, in terms of his appoint-
ment, is required to lay an annual report before Parliament,
so that the affairs and condition of the National Gallery will
be brought yearly under supervision of the House of Cora-
mons. A new museum of science and art is to be built near
the, site of the old Crystal Palace, at the national cost, aided
by the surplus fund derived from the Great Exhibition of
1851. When completed, the museum will be open to the
public gratuitously.
The poetical department of the literary world has been
agitated, convulsed, distracted, within the last few days, for
the fortieth or fiftieth time within a year or two. The POET
LAUREATE has issued "a great poem," is the breathless ex.
clamation of one set of enthusiasts ; TENNYSON has pub-
lished his " Maud, and other poems," is the quiet remark of
another. It is glorious, rich, glowing, extatic, says one ; it is
beautiful, chaste, and stately, says another. Within the last
few years so many thefts and spurious snatches have been
made of APOLLO'S fire, that the announcement of a new
claimant for poetic fame is met with an ominous shake of the
bead by the sagacious—the doubt implied being magnified
in its portent in proportion to the brazen sounds which have
been made to herald the candidate's approach. What between
BIGGS, SMITHS, and BAILEYS, and their noisy trumpeters,
the poetic circle has been kept in a perfect uproar for years
past, and a modest minstrel who should rely upon his merits
is rudely hustled out of the arena. In the midst of the' chaos
so created, it is refreshing, as well as inspiriting, to meet with
a song in which nature is allowed to wfrlk on the earth, wan-
dering among meadows, and flowers, and woods, and associated
with well-conditioned human beings, instead of being whisked
away into the region of broken suns, stray planets, and lunatic'
stars, holding converse with misanthropic angels and saints of
more than doubtful purity. TENNYSON'S song is full of
healthy feeling, and is in fine contrast to the spasmodic verse
so admirably and felicitously ridiculed in Firmilian.

THE APPROACHING HOLIDAYS.

ON Friday, the Appropriation Bill, which is usually
considered the final measure of the session, was
brought in and read a first time in the House of Com-
mons. The Ministerial Fish Dinner, which is one of
the sessional usages, rarely, if ever, omitted, will take
place to-morrow ; and on Saturday Parliament will be
prorogued, unless any unforeseen event should render
necessary its postponement till the following Monday.
It is useless to reiterate complaints of that reckless
waste of time which has characterised the closing ses-
sion. Even on Friday last, eight hours were occupied
in discussing a senseless motion about the negotiations
at Vienna, which resulted, as it might have been ex-
pected to result, in nothing but an adjournment at
nearly two o'clock in the morning. The most import-
ant measure of the session will be the Appropriation
Bill, by which upwards of eighty-six millions has been
voted to the service of the Crown ; and when this is
presented, at the prorogation, for the Royal Assent, it
will tell the tale most forcibly of the expensiveness of
the war, and the utter inability of the Commons of
England to turn their attention to any other business.
The members of Parliament will be released from their
arduous duties to tell their constituents of the labours
they have undergone in prolonged sittings throughout
the night ; and, if any evidence be wanted of the atten-
tion which they have besto.wed on the public service,
they may refer to the long speeches which have filled
the columns of the daily papers.

the poetic circle has been kept in: a perfect uproar for years
past, and a modest minstrel who, should rely upon his merits
is rudely hustled out of the arena. Tn the midst of the chaos
so created, it is refreshing, as well as-inspiriting, to meet with
a song in which nature is allowed to, walk on the earth, wan-
dering among meadows, and flowers, and woods, and associated
with well-conditioned human beings, instead of being whisked
away into• the region of broken suns, stray planets-, and lunatic
stars,.holding converse with misanthropic. angels and saints of
more than• doubtful purity. TENSYSOIIf'S' song is full of
healthy fealing, and is in fine contrast to the spasmodic verse
so admirably and felicitously ridiculed in Firmilian.

THE PROPHET'S SHRINE.

- The Hujrab, or `Chamber,' as it is called, from the circum-
stance of its having been Ayisha's room; is an irregular square
of from 50 to 55 feet, in the S.E. corner of the building, and
separated on all sides from the walls of the mosque by a
passage about 26 feet broad on the S. side, and 20 on the
eastern. The reason of this isolation has been before
explained, and there is a saying of Mohammed's, "0 Allah,
cause not my tomb to become an object of idolatrous adora-
lion ! May Allah's wrath fall heavy upon the people who
make the tombs of their prophets places of prayer !, ' Inside,
there are, or are supposed to be, three tombs facing the south,
surrounded by stone walls without any aperture, or, as others
say, by strong planking. Whatever this material may be, it
is hung outside by a curtain, somewhat like a large four-post
bed. The outer railing is separated by a dark narrow passage
from the inner one, which it surrounds, and is of iron filagree
painted of a vivid grass green—with a view to the garden,—
whilst carefully inserted in the verdure, and doubly bright by
contrast, is the gilt or burnished brasswork forming the long
and graceful letters of the Suls character, and disposed into
the Moslem creed, the profession of unity, and simikw religious
sentences. On the south side, for greater honour, the railing
-is plated over with silver, and silver letters are interlaced with
it. This fence, which connects the columns and forbids
,passage to all men, may be compared to the halclaahhio of

SENSATIONS IN THE DESERT.

In such circumstances the mind is influenced through the
body. Though your mouth glows, and your skin is parched,
yet you feel no languor, the effect of humid heat ; your lungs
are lightened, your sight brightens, your memory recovers its
tone, and your spirits become exuberant ; your fancy and ima-
gination are powerfully aroused, and the wildness and subli-
mity of the scenes around you stir up all the energies of your
soul—whether for exertion, danger, or strife. Your morale
improves : you become frank and cordial, hospitable, and
single-minded: the hypocritical politeness and the slavery of
civilisation are left behind you in the city. Your senses are
quickened: ;they require no stimulants but air and exercise,—
in the Desert spirituous liquors excite only disgust. There is
a keen enjoyment in a mere animal existence. The sharp
appetite disposes of the most indigestible food, the sand is
softer than a bed of down, and the purity of the air suddenly
puts to flight a dire cohort of diseases. Hence it is that both
sexes, and every age, the most material as well as the most
imaginative of minds, the tamest citizen, the most peaceful
student, the spoiled child of civilisation, all feel their hearts
dilate and their pulses beat strong as they look down from
their dromedaries upon the " glorious Desert." Where do
we hear of a " traveller" being disappointed by it ? It is
another illustration of the ancient truth that nature returns
to man, however unworthily he has treated her. And believe
me, gentle reader, that when once your tastes have conformed
to the tranquillity of such travel, you will suffer real pain in
returning to the turmoil of civilisation. You will anticipate
the bustle and the confusion of artificial life, its luxury and
its false pleasures,with repugnance. Depressed in spirits, you
will for a time, after your return, feel incapable of mental or
bodily exertion. The air of cities will suffocate you, and the
care-worn and cadaverous countenances of citizens will haunt
yen like a vision of judgment.

Having reached Suez, he embarked on board a
Pilgrim-ship, the accommodations of which he does
not appear to appreciate highly. In the pilgrim-ship
he traversed the Red Sea, and landed at Yambu, in the
Moslem Holy Land, it being one of the several towns
which share the honour of being considered the " gate
of the Holy City." It is the third quarter of the
caravan road from Cairo to Meccah. Leaving Yambu,
our traveller was once more on the Desert, and pro-
ceeded to Bir Abbas, and thence to El-Medinah, first
Obtaining a glimpse of that sacred city in the month
Of July. Arrived in this spot, his occupations became
numerous and exciting, not by any means unmixed
with danger ; for, had he been discovered as a giaour,
he would have paid the penalty of his rash intrusion
in tlie forfeiture of his life. Bent upon gratifying his
own curiosity, and desirous of imparting knowledge to
others, Mr. Burton penetrated, as far as man is per-
mitted to do, into the secret recesses of the Mosque,

"An easy, pleasant fitting Hat, ventilated on a new and
correct principle."—Practical Mechanics' Journal.

The only Hat which combines a light, gentle-
manly appearance, with thorough ventilation, advantages
obtained by forming an air chamber immediately around
the head, permitting a current of air to pass imperceptibly
or without draught, from thence through and out at the
top of the Flat; and the value of this principle is best ap-
preciated when walking, riding, and in all cases where
continued exercise renders the ordinary Hat both un-
healthy and cumbersome.

SUPPLEMENT TO THE LIVERPOOL STANDARD.

MODESTY is a handsome dish-cover, that makes us fancy
there must be something very good underneath it.
WHEN concession is inevitable, it is wise to concede before
necessity destroys both freedom of thought and dignity of
movement.

FRIENDSHIP is like a debt of honour; the moment it is
talked of it looses its real name and assumes the more ungrate-
ful form of obligation.
THE great source of pleasure is variety. We love to expect,
and when expectation is disappointed, or gratified, we want to
be again expecting.
THE forms and ceremonies of politeness may be dispensed
with, in a measure, in the relaxation of one's one fireside, but
kind attentions never.

WHATEVER may be the native vigour of the mind, she can
never form any combinations from new ideas, as many changes
can never be rung upon a few bells.
WHEN an Irish girl was asked a few days ago, where her
mistress was, who had gone to a water-care establishment, she
replied that her ladyship had " gone to soak."
AN American paper says, a man recently poked his head out
from "behind the times," when it was taken off by a" passing
event !"

A WESTERN WRITER, in speaking of a new play- just written
by a gentleman of Cincinnati, says,— 'the unities are admirably
observed—the dulness which commences with the, first act
never flags for a moment until the curtain falls."
CASUISTRY.-It is rather a Jesuit's question, whether
flinging a crown at a hard beggar, and cutting his head open
with it, is charity.
