AYTOUN ON POETRY.

LECTURE THE THIRD.
During the interval which elapsed between the de'
livery of his second and third lectures, the toast of
" Professor Aytoun and the Poets"—proposed by
member of the House of Commons on the occasion of
the banquet at Freemasons'-hall in commemoration of
the sixty-fourth anniversary of the Royal Literal
Fund—was received by the assembled literati of Lon-
don with well-merited acclamations. We would here
particularly notify this circumstance, because it affords
new evidence that the men of letters in our metropolist
are anything but indifferent to the presence among
them of the gifted author of the " Lays of the
Scottish Cavaliers." It indicates rather that they are
eager; where opportunity offers to accord him the .„.wel-
come due to one of the most accomplished of the rant
writers of Scotland. Another attestation of that rest
ness to bail his presence amongst us at this moment
visible yesterday in that crowded a,partment at
Rooms, in which the third of Professor Itytoun's serl7
of lectures was delivered to perhaps the most numerone
and certainly the most attentive, audience he has t,
addressed. It should be remarked that a change hew
been made since last Monday in the position of the rc.'s
trum, if we may so call it, from which the Professor
livers his dissertation. And we would particularly Me%
tion this alteration, because we look upon it as by
means a judicious arrangement. The lecturer is thereg
unfortunately too far removed from many of his heat',
who, consequently, find it impossible to catch the ivavj
of the discourse, losing some of the more sada'''.
and delicately-modulated of his intonations. to
Yesterday, the lecture was exclusively dedicatee
the consideration of the various merits and peculloy"
of our Ballad Literature. Especial reference wasfebe.

nounce any opinion upon the subject, we should ventdis.
to acknowledge at once, that altogether we Were ns
appointed in ithe selection. Several of the speen3to,
declaimed by Professor Aytoun—and declaimed,
g„ot•
most admirably with the broad burr of the 'at r
tish dialect—appeared to us rather too long, Ir%

too rugged, and rather too monotonous. And
this we make bold to confess was our irePrefr

Professor Aytoun was peculiarly anxious to disclaim aji:,
such intention on his part, he did nevertheless appear t°,,, 0
to imply somewhat markedly the fault of plaglarls-For

" Oriana ;" as, for example, in the following :
" I cry aloud : none hear my cries,
Oriana.
Thou comest atween me and the skies,
Oriana.
I feel the tears of blood arise,
Up from my heart unto my eyes,
Oriana.
Within thy heart my arrow lies,
Oriana."

Or, again—
" The bitter arrow went aside,

"LO YD'S SIIIPPIAG—(T.HIS DAY.)

( From. the Mining Journal of this day.)
MINES.—The standard has fallen below 1207., on a
produce of 6 ; and it seems quite futile attempting to
form an opinion of the price of copper for the next week.
We have heard it seed that the smelters are driven to
their present course owing to the large quantities of
ores sent into the market by two or three of the large
mines. But we apprehend the secret does not lie in
this, though it may suit the purposes of some
parties to say so. The increase in the sales
from many of the large mines has been caused
by sampling large quantities of refuse ores which have
been accumulating for years, and looked upon as of no
value, but which the high price of copper of late ren-
dered saleable. The supply from this source must soon
cease. Lead is much higher in America ; and, there-
fore, we may still hope fur good prices here. In the
Share Market, notwithstanding the price of copper, a
large business has been transacted this week, especially
in Alfred Consols, at 13/. 10s. to 191., and the market
very firm.
In the Metal Market, Copper maintains its price, not-
withstanding the late drop in the standard. This natu-
rally inspires the miner with hopes of a speedy rally
again.—Tin is firmer, though not extensively dealt in.—
Banca sales have been e-f.ncted, at 2s. per cwt, advance.
—Plates are at a stand still for the present.—Lead is a
trifle easier.—Spelter ejuite neglected. Manufactured
iron continues in excellent demand, and no variation as
to price, although Scotch Pigs are down again to
495. 6d. to 50s. per ton, at Glasgow ; altogether prices
are very satisfactory and remunerative.
In the Bullion Market,—Mexican and South Ameri-
can dollars, 4s. 11 d. per oz. Bar silver containing gold,
all gold above five grains in the pound to be paid for,
ss. ld. per oz. standard. Bar silver without gold, ss. Id.
per oz. standard. Bar gold, 775. 9d. per oz. standard.
Spanish doubloons, 78s. per oz. Columbian doubloons,
765. 6d. per oz. American eagles, 765. 6d. per oz.
The gold mining share market this week has been cha-
racterised with great flatness, arising from the absence of
business. Notwithstanding the favourable news from
California prices have not been enhanced. There has
been a demand for Nouveau Monde, Agua. Fria, Colo-
nial Gold, and Peel River ; these are the only shares
that have been freely dealt in, and every other descrip-
tion may be regarded as quiescent. On Monday the mar-
ket was well supported ; Yuba River was, however, flat.
On Tuesday Ave Maria was firmer ; Great Nugget was
11 to 2 prem., and Peel River had risen to 4i to 5
prem., consequent on influential buying. On Wednes-
day, however, there was a re-action in these shares. On
Thursday there was a total absence of demand, and
sellers preponderated, and the same feature may be
said to have characterised the market until the close
yesterday evening. The Agua Fria Company
have received advices from Mr. Atwood, stating
that the Agua, Fria Mine appeared worthy
of working. The remittances from Gold Hill have been
delayed on account of tile floods. The Gold Hill Com-
pany have recovered damages from the parties who had
robbed them of the auriferous dirt. The Ave Maria
Company have received ad vices per Arctic of their machi-
nery being on its way up to the mine, and their agent
was preparing to ship to .this country a cargo of the valu-
able quartz ore, and to continue such shipments until
their machinery was in operation.

The Piedmontese Gazette gives an account of the public
rejoicings, which took place at Turin on the Bth, to cele-
brate the anniversary of the constitution. At ten a.m.
the Piazza Vittorio Emmanuele was filled with troops
and National Guards in full uniform. The Munici-
pality had caused an altar to be erected under the
peristyle of the cathedral, over which was the inscrip-
tion :—" 4th of March, 1848." The King arrived on
horseback, accompanied by the Prince of Carignan and
his military household. The Queen arrived in a carriage
with the Prince of Piedmont, who wore the uniform
of a colonel of the National Guard. Immediately
after the arrival of their Majesties, the religious
ceremony commenced, at which the Ministers, the
Presidents and deputations of the Chambers, the Mayor
and Municipality of Turin, the chief public functionaries,
and the whole diplomatic body, were present. After the
conclusion of the ceremonies, their Majesties and all the
high personages above-mentioned, proceeded to the
Piazza Castello, where the King, placing himself under
the balcony of the palace, reviewed the National Guards
and the troops. The students, the pupils of the schools
and colleges, and processions of workmen, also filed off
before him. The Queen and the Prince of Piedmont
witnessed the imposing scene from the balcony. The
city was universally and brilliantly illuminated in the
evening.

TheParlamertio of Turin quotes a letter froni Rome
of the sth, containing some curious details respecting
the Rota Romana, or Civil Tribunal of Rome, from which
it would seem that the proverbial longevity of law-suits
and verbosity of counsel have been there reduced to the
smallest possible expression. The defence of a case
must be sent in to the judges twenty-four hours before
judgment is pronounced ; it must not exceed five sheets
of stamped paper. The rejoinders cannot exceed one
sheet, and they must be written in the course of the
night preceding the judgment. The three last sittings
of the year are called Rota conculcate (compressed, or
what might be termed steeplechase sittings), because
every prelate on the bench has a right to propose six
judgments, so that it often happens that from 50 to 60
sentences are pronounced at that period in a few hours.
The judges invariably employ the following Latin formula
—Affirmative, negative, in decisis, and recedendum a
decisis, which are delivered on small bits of paper to the
council for the defence, to be developed.
The Minister of the Interior at Parma has issued a
notice to the effect that the electric telegraph of Pia-
cenza, communicating with Parma, Medena, aid all the
Austrian States, will be open to the public from the Ist
of next month.

-- ---.... ---.....
The Chamber of Deputies at Turin, in its public sitting
of the 12th inst., adopted without discussion, and by a
majority of 126 to 7, the law authorising a loan of
400,000 f. in favour of the Lombard refugees, whose
property has been sequestrated.
