A CHILD'S SONG. BY JEAN INGELOW.

[We have to thank our contemporary the Atheneum for
introducing us to a new and true Poetess—one who can
write as exquisite a morceau as the following charming
little childlike ditty, worthy of the world's acceptance as
a companion lay to Wordsworth's immortal "We are
Seven 11
There's no dew left en the daisies and clover,

There's no rain left in heaven ;
I've said my " seven times" over and over,
Seven times one are seven.

I am old, so old, I can write a letter;
My Birthday lessons are done ; •
The lambs play always, they know no better;
They are only one times one.
0 Moon ! in the night I have seen you sailing
And shining so round and low ;
You were bright ! ah bright ! but your light is failing—
You are nothing now but a bow.

You Moon, have you done something wrong in heaven
That God has hidden your face?
I hope, if you have, you will be forgiven,
And shine again in your place.
0 velvet bee, you're a dusty fellow,
You've powdered your legs with gold !
0 brave marsh marybuds, rich and yellow,
Give me your money to hold I

0 columbine, open your folded wrapper,
Where two twin turtle doves dwell
0 cuckoopoint, toll me the purple clapper
That hangs in your clear green bell !
And show me your nest with the young ones in it I
I will not steal them away ;
I am old I you may trust me, linnet, linnet—
I am seven times one to-day.

FIELD-MARSHAL LORD CLYDE.—We are rejoiced
to say that the last accounts of Field-Marshal Lord Clyde
represent him as much better, and, under Providence, there
is reason to hope that the fatal result, into the expectation
of which the public were needlessly alarmed in the early
part of the week, may bng be avoided.—Army and NO '
Gazette.

THE CLOSE OF THE SESSION.—The Ministerial
Whitebait dinner, the customary prelude to the cloke
of the Parliamentary session, took place oil' Saturday even'
ing at the Trafalgar at Greer.twich. The noble Premier,
the Duke of Argyll, and the majority of the company pro
ceeded by water from Westminster-bridge in one of the
Citizen steamboats, which was carpeted and gaily decorated?
to the landing, just past the Royal Hospital. Covers were
laid for 30, and among those present were Viscount Pal-
merston, the Earl Granville, the Duke of Argyll, the Right
Hon. the Chancellor of the Exchequer, Lord Stanley of
Alderley, the Right Hon. Sir C. Wood, the Right Hon. T.
M. Gibson, the Right Hon. E. Cardwell, the Right Hon.
C. P. Villiers, the Right Hon. R. Lowe, the Right Hon.
W. Hutt, the Right Hon. F, Peel, the Right Hon. W. F.

The Right Hon. Sir G. Grey was unable to attend, public)
business calling him to Osborne; and the Duke of NO"
castle and the Earl de Grey were also unable to be present
owing to other engagements.

ACCIDENT TO SIR JOHN TRELAWNY.—We learn
from the Western Morning News that as Sir John
Trelawny was driving through the city of Chester on Wed.
nesday, the carriage in which he was seated upset, and he
was thrown with violence to the ground. The hoi . baronet
was somewhat shaken, and received a severe sprain
his wrists, but he was enabled to continue his jour t°
Liskeard.

The Marseilles journals mention that after is long
period of excessive heat, during which the thermometer
varied constantly between 30 and 33 degrees Centigrate (811
to 92 Farhenheit), rain has at length fallen, as at Peril),
Lyons, and other parts of France.
THE COMING COURT MARTIAL.—We understand
that the mode of proceeding in the court-martial
about to be held on Lieut.-Col. Crawley for the alleged
illegal imprisonment resulting in the death of Sergeant"
Major Lilley has been fully arranged by the authoritiegt
and that the intention is to keep the inquiry within the Dar
rowest possible compass. We are informed that the onll
question raised will be whether or not the subaltern °Meer
exceeded his instructions in the mode of placing the sentryii
A strong paint in Lieut.-Colonel Crawley's defence
be, we have reason to believe, to throw the blame of the
sergeant-major's premature death upon Dr. Turnbull, WV'
it is alleged, made no report to his commanding officer as t:
the state of the prisoner's health. We have full confidence
that the parties interested will have a satisfactory ansvolr
but
''
these allegations ; but forewarned is forearmed ;" it t
right that they should know in time the sort of case Wit 3
W
which they will have to contend. As the court-ra9.l
upon Corporal Blake will form an important feature in
inquiry, it is a fortunate tact that the soldier who wie
it%
orderly room clerk of the Inniskilling Dragoons during '0
progress is now in England, having purchased his dischert:
and is ready to be produced as a witness upon the feral'
United Service Gazette.
