"- QUARTERLIES.

out to be an ales imitator of the Tennysonian genies, or
an original songster of less pretension, we are imme-
diately summoned to believe in him by the whole coterie
in chorus. These people regard matters of poetry and
authorship as mere articles of vertu, and would fain earn
a reputation for cleverness by the eccentricity of their
tastes. They are for the most part mystery-mongers of
literature, who wish to spare their own opinions too
searching an analysis, and delight in dealing with sub-
jects transcending sense. The new pet of this class of
persons is Mr. Alexander Smith ; and they are busy in
destroying any germs of genius within him by their in-
discriminate praise. They are encouraging his faults,
urging him to fresh outrages on sense, taste, grammar,
and poetry ; and they will, in all probability, cause him
to write more and worse, until he will be in danger of
becoming a burlesque on Bailey, who wrote Festus, and
a travesty on Tennyson. A man of genius'like Byron
can rise superior to the censure of false critics ; but he
must indeed be great who shall triumph over flattery ex-
hibited in such large doses at au age so young."

The characteristics of the author who has been thus
extravagantly eulogised, the reviewer truthfully
enough declares to be—" bathos, a sort of luminous
obscurity and imitative mannerism." The hero
of the principal poem in the volume of Mr. Smith
is afterwards facetiously, but, again, most truth-
fully, said to be descriptive of " the strivings and
wrestlings of a soul above buttons, discontented
with its lot, and wishing to be everybody !" Fin-
ally, this only rational critic we have yet read upon
the book, draws his remarks towards a conclusion
by asserting that "To praise Alexander Smith
as others have done, would only be to be-
tray him into further imperfections : it might
urge his Pegasus to bolt over plains of blas-
phemy and bathos, and to plunge into the
dirty waters of licentiousness." Nothing harsh
in all this notice, but is justified by the produc-
tion of " proofs positive" in the shape of most
copious quotations. In the article already referred
to as having allusion to Fox, the following passage
occurs, and is not undeserving of particular notice,
as having reference to the real value of the late
Dr. Allen's reputation :
"It was the fashion of the Whigs of that time to
think Allen a wonderful man, and it is a tradition of the
present day that he was so. He wrote one excessively
absurd book, and he committed the Edinburgh Review
to a considerable quantity of very shallow nonsense
about our Constitutional History. Beyond this he did no-
thing. He appears to have been one of those might-
could-would-or-should sort of men, who have the knack
of twaddling to a clique, and who succeed in impressing
their intimates with an awful idea of what they could
do, if they would only try."
An elaborate essay on " Modern Miracles," or,
in other words, on spirit rapping and table turn-
ing, exposes that enormous humbug, the latest and
greatest of all popular delusions. The subjoined
will afford the reader a capital notion of—

AN EVENING WITH MRS. HAYDEN.
" You are dining, for instance, with Mrs. Leo. Hun-
ter. When you ascend to the drawing room you find
a new face among the ladies ; an intelligent, mobile, not
undesirable face, probably at the moment pushed for-
ward in rather voluble conversation. There is some-
thing a little not quite bon ton in the lady's manner, and
there are grammatical difficulties in her phraseology ;
but we must allow for the peculiarities of her position.
Moreover, she mixes in so many circles. Perhaps she
has just been en rappart with Colonel Crockett, or has
been charged with bad grammar by Cobbett's ghost, who
has been running a saw' upon her. However, she is
lively, agreeable, intelligent, and well-looking ; so, in
spirits or no spirits, we have no cause to be displeased
with our new acquaintance. She is, of course, intro-
duced as Mrs. Hayden, the American medium.'
" There is a large 100 table in the middle of the back
drawing-room, and Mrs. Hayden is reclining in a com-
fortable chair at about three feet distance from it. Mrs.
Leo Hunter is seated on one side of her, and a senti-
mental-looking young lady is on the other—a lion of
unmistakeable pretensions, who is bearded all over to
conceal his ugliness, and who speaks very bad English,
with a strong German accent, leans upon her chair, and
struggles to monopolise her attention. But—a l'oeuvre—
Tis time the performance should begin.
" Mrs. Hayden now draws her chair forward quite up
to the table, takes up a white China silk scarf that lay
in her lap, and spreads it over the back of her chair,
passes her hand down to her knee, as though to smooth
her dress, and then settles herself to her work. Of
course, our idea of the audience is quite imaginary ; we
describe Mrs. Hayden, however, exactly as we have
seen her. These movements are all natural enough.
We only record them as an observation for future ob-
servers.
"The German gentleman, who tells the company
that he is a convert after long investigation, and that,
in fact, he is himself a medium, and who is evidently
one of those fetch-and-carry tame animals of society who
run to and fro between drawing-rooms and circulating
libraries—the German gentleman demands pen, ink,
and paper, writes out the alphabet from A to Z, and
the numerals from Ito 0. Mrs. Hayden's fair round
face and twinkling eyes move round the circle as she
places her hands upon the table and begs that the com-
pany will not disturb her by conversation.
" Then she addresses her supernatural friends, who
make it their peculiar habit to live always under a table ;
and after long expectation some one hears a faint knock.
The ice once broken, the little just audible sounds be-
come more frequent. The alphabet is asked for in the
usual way. Mrs. Leo Hunter takes the pencil and the
German's alphabet. A knock arrests her hand as she
points to S,' another as she points to ' a third as
she points to L,' and so on, until the full word Silence,'
has been spelt. Mrs. Hayden looks on the paper all the
time with a quiet smile, and remarks that the spirits are
quite right—it is impossible to proceed amid such a buzz
of conversation.

"And now numerous candidates take paper and pen-
cil in hand, summon a spirit by a wish, and ask the ini-
tial letter of his name. Some are very wrong, some are
quite right. The majority are certainly altogether
wrong, but a fully sufficient number are right to dmon-
strate that it cannot be by mere random guesses that
the results are obtained. Those who get wrong answers
are usually inclined to sneer, and are scowled upon and
scolded at by the busy and enthusiastic German. Those
who get right answers declare how wonderful it is, and
believe in the spirits right off. Then comes the turn of
the sentimental young lady on the left. She throws up
her fine eyes and thinks of a friend, a departed com-
panion of her tenderest woes. With tremulous hand
and expectant heart she passes her pencil over the let-
ters until she reaches S;' a tiny rap is heard, the letter
is noted down, and the alphabet is recommenced, the
young lady looking astonishment and awe through all
her features. This time, however, she pauses in the
middle of the alphabet, and says that the proper letter
has been passed—recommences, A," rap, the 'A' is
noted down. Again, B,' rap, the B' is noted down.
Again, Y,' wrong, try again. Again, E,' right, the
B' is noted. L,' right. 'L,' right again. A,'
right. The letters form Sabella.' The other name is
Macintyre, and is spelt out with only three mistakes.
Sabella Macintyre was the name of the young lady's de-
ceased friend.
Conticuere omnes, intentique ora tensbaut—

but the demonstration is complete ; Mrs. Hayden rises
and the séance is ended. The German is in ecstasies, the
sentimental young lady in tears, about one-third of the
company are seen to smile, and the rest are in a great
passion with them."
As to table-turners the tables have never before
been turned upon themselves more effectually than
by this contribution to the New Quarterly ; while,
as to spirit-rapping, the media have never before re-
ceived such smart and stinging raps over the
knuckles.

The recent Meeting at York may challenge any of its
predecessors for superiority—it was a magnificent meet-
ing in every respect. Sport excellent, weather superb,
and attendance of company immense. The results
were, however, for the most part, anything but couleur
de rose to the fielders. It is really marvellous what an
alterative effect change of place frequently has on the
running capability of many horses, even when ground,
weight, distance, and weather appear to be most in their
favour. Talk of the " holding " of deep ground—why
there is at times much more palpable holding over dry,
smooth ground !
Some of my calculations last week were manifestly
checked by too much weight ion the bridle—others were
nullified ,by withdrawals on the ducal principle that
every man has a right to do what he likes with his own.
How striking a contrast did Adine's performance at
York present to Adine's performance at Brighton !
At the latter place Pantomime carried sst 131 b, Adine
Bst 101 b, and a length separated them at the finish ; at
York, Pantomime carried 51b less and Adine 101 b less,
and yet Adine never got nearer the front than fifth or
sixth, and was many lengths behind Pantomine at the
finish ! These are things which are obnoxious to suspi-
cion and reproach ; but

To be a Triton "in the swim" is one thing ; to be a
minnow is another !

The general programme of sport this week is abun-
dantly varied and attractive. Radcliffe puts forth its
claims to patronage to-day, and will " carry on " for
three days. The Wilton Cup is likely to be well con-
tested by Black Doctor and Doubt, and I shall expect
to find one of them the winner. In their absence, I
should try my fortune with Defiance and Saguenay.
If Barrel is not run out by the drawings upon it at
York, there may be a good chance of its carrying off
the Two-year-olds Stakes, with Ludwig and Gabriel in
close attendance.
Lough Bawn and The Surveyor I pick for the Stew-
ards' Cup, Mocassin for the Radcliffe St. Leger, and
Snowdon Dunhill and Missive for the Free Handicap.

The Manchester Cup may find a successful Event
without Doubt, and Dear Me may throw his susceptible
owner into a fine frenzy by carrying off the Bury Purse.
Egham will commence its sport to-morrow on the
glorious Runnymede, and terminate on Wednesday.
The fields will, in all probability, be short, but interest-
ing. Epaminondes, Strutaway, and Student I select
for the King John Stakes—my preference being in the
order named. Frantic, notwithstanding the weight, I
place much confidence in, but may find my notions
upset. by Ta.vistock or Toboluki. A bdallah and Puritan
I shall take for the Runnymede Stakes ; Vaultress for
the Magna Charta, with Monnie Moses second. Vixen
or Wingfield will, I think, carry off the Baron's Stakes,
I shall, however, make a reservation in favour of Single-
ton Lass.
The Amateur Stakes are likely to be awarded to the
Heriot.
Derby has its opening day on Wednesday, Hereford
on Thursday ; and as many of the horses which are en-
gaged at the one are engaged at the other, it would, in the
absence of all knowledge as to the intentions of owners,
be absurd to attempt to pick out the probable winners.
All I can say under such circumstances is, that for the
honour and integrity of the noblest of our national
sports, my most fervent wish is that honesty of purpose
may be crowned with success, and that the best horse
may win..

A FRESH MAN.

COWES, ISLE OF WIGHT, Aug. 21.

(FROM OUR OWN CORRESPONDENT.)
HER MAJESTY'S VISIT TO IRELAND.

DEPARTURE OF THE ROYAL YACHT FOR HOLYHEAD.—
Soon after four o'clock this afternoon her Majesty's
yacht Victoria and Albert steamed from this roadstead
for Holyhead, attended by the Encounter, Barracouta,
Banshee, and Tribune war-steamers, and the Fire Queen.
The latter vessel only accompanies the yacht to the
Needles. ~. .

DEPARTURE OF THE COURT FROM OSBORNE.—Satur-
day next is the day at present named for her Majesty's
departure from the Isle of Wight for Ireland.

FETE AT OSBORNE.—The rustic games in which the
seamen of the royal yachts, the servants employed at
Osborne, Barton, &c., exercise their skill, and to which
all her Majesty's tradesmen and their families have
tickets of admission, took place yesterday, when the
grounds of Osborne were thronged. Bands of music at-
tended, to which all were invited. There was running,
jumping, throwing, &c. The Queen, Prince Albert, and
the junior branches of the royal family were on the
grounds, and seemed as highly pleased with the sports
as those who took a more active part in them.
SCHOONER MATCH FOR 100 G-lIINEAS.—The match
made between Mr. Joseph Gee's yacht Gloriana, of 134
tons, the winner of her Majesty's cup on Wednesday
last, and Lord A. Paget's yacht Roseland, is expected
to come off early in the week.

day, by which two watermen and a gentleman lost their

The body of Wearn, who lost his life by being run
down by the Medina steamer, was found yesterday. A
jury was summoned, which after viewing the body, ad-

journed till two o'clock on Tuesday next.
MATCH FOR 100 GIIINEAS.—The highly interesting
match between Mr. Weld's yacht Alarm, 248 tons, and
the Swedish yacht Aurora Borealis, of 250 tons, takes
place to-morrow, and, from the very high standing of
the Alarm, bets ran high in her favour, though there
are many who prefer the Swede. She is certainly as fine
a vessel as one would wish to look upon.

THE AMERICAN CUTTER YACHT SILVIE.--The owner
of this splendid vessel, which won the second prize (a
cup, value 501.) on Saturday, not feeling satisfied in
being beaten by the Julia, is reported to have challenged
Mr. Peareth to sail his yacht for any sum he may please
to name. So certain did the members of the Royal
Yacht Squadron feel that the Silvie would outsail all
the other yachts entered for the 100 guinea cup, that
they at the last moment gave a second prize of 501., as
it were for the other yachts to contend for, but though
she seemed almost to fly along in light winds, she did
nothing when the wind freshened. Some think even
now that she could have been first if she would.

STATE OF TRADE.

(Front the Manchester Guardian of Saturday.)

MANCHESTER, AUG. 19.—Any favourable effect which
the removal of the apprehension of war might be ex-
pected to produce upon our market has been neutralised,
not only by a greater difficulty in effecting them, during
the last six days, in consequence of the still increasing
demand for capital. The articles most affected are com-
mon mule yarns for India, 16's to 24's water twist for
China, pincops for domestic cloths, and 40-inch G E
shirtings for the markets of the East. In all these,
prices are rather against producers. With the exception
of the pincops alluded to, the change is slight ; but these
may be had gd. per lb below the highest prices lately
obtained ; those prices were, however, out of proportion
with the quotations for other yarns made from similar
cotton. Taking the market at large, there is great
steadiness in prices—for the most part, indeed, a re-
markable firmness.
BRADFORD, Aug. 18.— Yarns—There is a fair demand
for yarns, but the prices are too low to meet the price
now demanded for wool. Pieces—There is a tolerably
active demand, and in the warehouses, for finished goods,
an average business doing. The accounts from America
are represented as favourable. Wools—There is no in-
creased disposition to buy English wool, and from the
high prices sought by the country dealers and growers,
it would appear that they are unwilling to accept prices
at which sales might be made.
NOTTINGHAM, Aug., 18.—There has been less business
doing in the lace trade since our last account of it, but
it is still in a healthy condition for the season, consider-
ing the disarranged state of political affairs on the con-
tinent of Europe. The home and colonial trades are
taking off large quantities of lace and hosiery goods of
the best qualities, particularly the latter ; and it would
appear that no articles they require can be too well made
for them.

INQUEST ON A SOLDIER OF THE 3D DRAGOONS.—
GRAVESEND, Aug. 19.—This day an inquest was held at
the workhouse, before Mr. G. Arnold, deputy coroner
of this borough, on the body of a man picked up in the
river, who, by the medals found upon his person, was a
private in the 3d Light Dragoons, a large portion of
which regiment had been about three weeks since dis-
embarked at this port from India. The name of de-
ceased was John Galloway. At the time of the disem-
barkation of these troops it was stated that a soldier
was missing, supposed to have fallen overboard, and
been drowned. It appeared from the evidence that the
body was picked up last evening off the entrance to the
canal below the Terrace-pier, and was apparelled in
the undress of a soldier. Mr. Aitkins, coroner's officer,
deposed that he saw the body on ins being brought on
shore, and on searching it found three medals, which he
now produced, and which indicated the name of the
soldier, as well as the battles for which he had obtained
them, viz., Sabraon, Sutlej, &c. • and on the buttons
of the undress ,military jacket which deceased had on
was inscribed 3d Dragoons. On the medals witness
found the name John Galloway, 3d R.O.L.D.—Ver-
diet—Found drowned.

STATE OF THE WOOLLEN TRADE.

(From the Leeds Mercury of Saturday.)

LEEDS.—The reports which have appeared for seve-
ral weeks past, notwithstanding the gloomy apprehen-
sions which overshadowed our foreign relations, and the
unfavourable weather for our harvest prospects that we had
during last month, have represented the trade of this town
to be in a good and steady state and healthful condition.
In the Coloured Hall a full average quantity of cloth
was disposed of. There are also deliveries regularly
taking place at the warehouses of goods that are either
made to order or sold by sample. Many of the principal
manufacturers dispose of the bulk of their goods without
bringing any portion of them into the market.
BRADFORD, Aug. 18.—A fair amount of business was
doing, but without any alteration of price. The spin-
ners complain strongly of their position, that the price
of tops is so near the price of yarns, and that one or
the other must alter if they are to derive any benefit
from their business. The demand for gross yarns to
the Continent is but slack, and there does not seem to
be an ascertained price for them, as different rates are
obtained for the same counts and quality.
LEICESTER.—The same general activity pervades all
branches of our manufactures that has existed for some
time past. Commercial confidence seems fully esta-
lished on a firm and sound basis, producing a legitimate
business, to which the demand for our Australian colo-
nies has materially contributed. Worsted yarns are
more in demand, and the prices remain firm. There is
more doing in wools at prices rather in favour of the
seller.

DEATH OF MAJOR-GENERAL LORD SALTOUN.—This
gallant nobleman died on Thursday last, at his shooting
seat, near Rothes, N.B. The noble lord had been ailing
for some months, but, until a few months prior to his
death, no immediate danger was apprehended. His
lordship was in his 69th year, and was highly esteemed
by the late Duke of Wellington for his gallant defence
of Hugomont, at which place he commanded the light
companies of the Guards, and had four horses killed
under him. Lord Saltoun served with Moore, and
throughout the Peninsula. The 2d Regiment of Foot
becomes vacant, of which he, was colonel. His lordship
was a staunch patron of most of the musical institutions
of the metropolis, president of the Madrigal Society,
chairman of the Musical Union, &c. The Duke of
Wellington had once publicly described the gallant lord
as a pattern to the army, " both as a man and a sol-
dier." His lordship is succeeded in his titles and estates
by his nephew, Major Alexander Fraser. The fun eral
of the deceased lord is expected to take place at Fraser-
burgh, in Aberdeenshire.
SINGULAR ELOPEMENT.—Elizabeth Gibbon a young
lady of considerable personal attractions, 22 years of
age, highly educated, and the daughter of a deceased
major in the army, the other day eloped from Dublin with
a man named Anthony Flannigan, a loader of turf flats,
near to her father's residence, where he (Flannigan) became
acquainted with his inamorata. He wooed, and wooed
successfully, and the lady yielded ; and, as already stated,
eloped with him. Her friends sent a relative in pur-
suit. He arrived here the other day, and the runaway
lovers were found consorting together on board the
Esmeralda, having taken a passage in that vessel to
New York. The relative induced them, in compliance
with the earnest request of her friends to go on shore,
and get united in wedlock before departure. All ne-
cessary preliminaries were arranged, the marriage
license procured, and they were indissolubly united at
St. kaurs Church on Saturday.

EXTENSIVE FRAUDS BY GAMBLING EMIGRANTS.--In-
formation has been received in London that a captain of
a ship, who, some months ago, took his passage to Aus-
tralia in a screw-steamer, has suffered severely, with
others, from two well known gamblers on board, named
Christy, an ex-publican, and Fry, a medical practitioner.
The victim who has given this information to the police,
states that on the two above named persons first enter-
ing the vessel, they were received as third-class passen-
gers, but suddenly from, it is feared, an "understand-
ing" with some of the officers on board, they became
first-class passengers, and are winners without the least
doubt of 3,000/. The applicant, or captain, intends to
proceed against the owners of the vessel for the recovery
of his share, 6501., and in a day or two the names of all
parties concerned will be fully made known to the pub-
' lice
