A CHILD'S SONG. BY JEAN INGELOW.

[We have to thank our contemporary the Atheneeunz for
introducing us to a new and truo Poetess—one who can
write as exquisite a rnorceau 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 on 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.

O Moon ! in the night I have seen you sailing
And shining so round and low ;
You were bright ! ah bright I 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 I
0 brave marsh marybuds, rich and yellow)
Give me your money to hold I

0 columbine, open your folded wrapper,
Whore two twin turtle doves dwell I
0 cuckoopoiut, toll me the purple clapper
That hangs in your clear green bell I
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.

Piloty, the painter of "Nero on the Ruins of
Burning Rome," has been commissioned by the King of
Bavaria to paint a picture representing the ex-Queen of
Naples during the siege of Gaeta.

FIELD-MARSHAL LORD CLYDE.—We are rejoiced
to say that the last accounl,s 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 lDng be avoided.—Army and Navy

ACCIDENT TO SIR JOHN TRELAWNY.—We learn

was thrown with violence to the ground. The hon. baronet

The Marseilles journals mention that after a long
period of excessive heat, during which the thermometer
varied constantly between 30 and 33 degrees Centigrate (SG
to 92 Farhenheit), rain has at length fallen, as at Paris'
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 authorities,
and that the intention is to keep the inquiry within the nar-
rowest possible compass. We are informed that the only
question raised will be whether or not the subaltern officer
exceeded his instructions in the mode of placing the sentry
A. strong point in Lieut.-Colonel Crawley's defence will
be, we have reason to believe, to throw the blame of the
sergeant-major's premature death upon Dr. Turnbull, vin°'
it is alleged, made no report to his commanding °flirter as to
the state of the prisoner's health. We have full confidence
that the parties interested will have a satisfactory answer to
these allegations ; but '' forewarned is forearmed ;" it is but
right that they should know in time the sort of case against,
which they will have to contend. As the court-martial
upon Corporal Blake will form an important feature in tilt'
inquiry, it is a fortunate fact that the soldier who sr,'
orderly room clerk of the Inniskilling Dragoons during itEl
progress is now in England, having purchased his discharge'
and is ready to be produced as a witness upon the trial!

THE SUNDAY BANDS IN THE PARKS.—The eighth

average length of thirteen Sundays yesterday, twelve of

season would be brought to a close (weather permitting) °xi;
Sunday next, the hours being 6 till 8. From the fact ei

but one interruption having occurred through rain, and
audiences having been fully up to the standard, a veil

a remarkably favourable one. The committee, hoeve..,r'
