SALE OF THE COUNTESS OF
BLESSINGTON'S EFFECTS.
The duty of chronicling the dispersion of celebrated col-
lections formed by the high and noble of the land is one of
the most painful offices forced upon the journalist. The re.
flection arises from the recurrence of an event of this cha-
racter—the contents of Gore House, for some years
residence of the Countess of Blessington (who has just retired
o
from this country with the view of taking
" ordeal of future
abode in Paris) being about to pass under the orea past
of thethe
auctioneer's hammer. The artistic and
of her Ladyship's mansion was well calculated
con-
siderable interest among the higher classes, but we wera
scarcely prepared to meet so numerous an assemblage of
fashionable company as yesterday assembled within its walls
for the purpose of viewing the contents, just now under in-
spection, preparatory to the sale which commences on Mon-
day next. literary
to excite celebrity
ainful to us in a
There was something indescribably p
contemplation of the scene, as we wandered through the
saloons and noted here and there, the eager curiosity with
which various little bijoux, each doubtless possessing claims
of peculiar interest in the estimation of its owner, were
caught up and examined by the spectators. Not to dwell,
however, upon this unfortunate theme, let us give those who
have not visited Gore House some indication of its contents.
The architectural arrangement of the mansion is not con-
venient, but few interiors could be more tastefully fitted up.
The furniture of the principal apartments is of the most:beau-
tiful description, and all the rooms display a perfect abund-
ance of works of art, with many of which the clever pencil
of a distinguished Count has rendered the public familiar.
The catalogue—itself a goodly quarto—will be perused
with interest, and the history of many of the lots
cannot fail to give an importance to their disposal. The
collection of Sevres and old porcelain is unusally rare, and
among the former are some magnificent specimens once in
the possession of Marie Antoinette. The furniture of the
Countess's bedchamber includes a very handsome carved
bedstead, in white and gold, formerly belonging to the
Empress Josephine, which was purchased at the sale of
Malmaison. In this room hangs a picture representing
the garden front of Gore House, with figures upon the
lawn. As a work of art it will not bear criticism, but the
portraits, though upon a very small scale, are admirable.
Edwin Landseer is one of the principal figures ; the artist is
seated, in the act of sketching a cow, while Lord Chester-
field and Count d'Orsay are looking over his shoulder. The
Duke of Wellington, with the Countess of Blessington and
the Misses Power, the beautiful nieces of her Ladyship,
also figure in the picture. The collection of paintings in-
cludes many works of great interest, and some of high value.
Among the latter we may quote Sir Thomas Lawrence's

sketches by celebrated artists; Sir David Wilkie, Maclise,
Landseer, and Winterhalter being among the contributors;
the latter has a beautiful drawing of "The Sisters," (Misses
Power), full of grace and effect. The name of the President
of the Republic of France also appears in the catalogue.
Lot 235 being described as " A View of the Castle of Ham,"
drawn and presented by Prince Louis Napoleon. Among
the finished pictures worthy of notice is a " Portrait of a
favourite Dog," presented to the Countess of Blessington by
the King of Naples, in Edward Landseer's best style. The
library contains nothing worthy especial notice, the books
consisting almost exclusively of modern works, of which,
however, there is a very large collection. The sale altogether
extends over thirteen days, of which the last three are de-
voted to the library.—Atoi nine Post.

FATAL ACCIDENT ON BOARD A STEAM-BOAT.--
A most distressing accident, which has cast considerable
gloom over Bristol, by the awfully sudden death of Mr.
Samuel Hunter, sailmaker, of 47, Queen-square, Bristol, oc-
curred on. Wednesday last. The deceased went down to
Kingroad to witness the departure of the Pomona for Trini-
dad, having supplied the vessel with sails. On returning
homeward in the Samson tug, when near the Blackrock,
which is between Pill and Bristol, a man on deck observed
the deceased fall backwards into the engine, and im-
mediately gave an alarm; upon the engine being stopped
and the body got out, he was not only dead, but so
frightfully mutilated that he was scarcely recognisable. At
the inquest Mr. King said he was in company with Mr.
Hunter, and that deceased fell through a hole which
had been made by some boards being lifted up which
had covered the engine room ; and he supposed that Mr.
Hunter must have been unaware of the circumstance. The
captain of the vessel said that the hole was used as a means
of giving light and air to the engineer, for the purpose of
oiling the engine, &c., and that the cover was as frequently
left up as down, and that no blame attached to the angineer,
neither was the deceased's fall occasioned by any fault in the
construction or management of the vessel. A pilot, who wit-
nessedwas
the accident, said the deceased was sitting on the
fence which surrounds the engince -house, and that the en-

be legally empowered to hold an annual meeting for the
purpose of electing an auditor or auditors on their own
k behalf, unconnected with the trustees, directors, com-
mittee, or manager, and that such auditor should be
legally empowered to audit weekly all the transactions
t of the bank, and to furnish a special report for the de•
positora periodically as may be required."
The adoption of such a course would not only prove
satisfactory to those who are connected with the manage-
ment of savings' banks, but would materially tend to
remove and eradicate any want of confidence on the part
of those who are or ought to be depositors, and their
operations would consequently be increased.
The services of a responsible auditor could be secured
by the depositors of every savings' bank at a very
trifling charge, to be defrayed as any other expense of
management.—Your obedient servant,

B.A.
THE LATE MURDER OF A HUSBAND AT BATH.—
I3ATH, FRIDAY, MAY 4.—The inquest upon the body of
Marchant was resumed at six o'clock, at the Guild Mrs.
hall,
which was again densely crowded. The prisoner,
Harris, was still too ill to admit of her presence, but the
two Shaylors, and the prisoner William Harris, were again
placed in the dock. The evidence principally went to prove
the existence of an intimacy between the wife of deceased
and Harris some time before the death of deceased. The
inquest was adjourned at half• past ten o'clock to Thursday
next, and in the meantime the body of Harris's last deceased
wife will be taken up. The prisoner Mrs. Harris continues
so ill that some fears for her life are entertained.
THE BENCHERS OF THE INNS OF COURT.—We
understand that it is the intention of some members of
the Irish Bar to petition for immediate admission to the
English Bar. We have also been informed that the
Benchers are disposed to anticipate the petitioners, and,
in a spirit of wise liberality, to remove the impediments
which prevent Irish barristers from being called to the
English Bar.

STonNowAy, MAY I.—The buoy recently placed on the
Skerinore Rock has been washed away, and been seen drift-
ing about in the Minch.

TEN YEARS ,AGO.
INSCRIBED TO ALL WH6` KNOW ME.
(From Eliza Cook's New Weei'lly Journal.)
The robin had been dumb nil day, the clouds were close
and drear,
The oak-leaf bent its wither'd lips to :kiss the dying year;
The night was coming like a monk, in dark and hooded
And winter's voice breathed dolefully its heaviest of sighs.
My thoughts were sad as sad could be, and lone, and still,
I gazed
Upon the shadows as they fell—the red coal as it blazed;
The room was bare—no forms were there—but memories
went and came
With love and sorrow chequered, like tho shadows and
the flame.
Oh! my young heart's tide of happiness had ebbed a
wave too low,
In that dim hour of twilight gloom, some ten years ago.
Old merry Christmas was at hand, as constant as of yore,
I counted those about me at the Christmas tide before.
Am: if I missed some two or three, that ne'cr could come

No iNoader that my bosom felt a gentle throb of pain.
The twilight deepened murkily ;—I wept, but lo! there

came
A branch of holly falliro; from an ancient picture-frame,
And as it shimmer'd at .my feet, all fresh, and green,
and bright,
It teemed to fill my drooping soul with music, mirth,

and light.
A key-note of Ride echoings that still around me flow,
--as that poor holly branch, that tumbled, ten years ago.
conjured up with minstrel spell, a fair and men),
throng
Of glad conceits, that found a voice and burst into a

son;
I poured out ballad lines of joy above the shining bough,
While pleasure quickened every pulse, end danced upon
my brow.
I gave that song unto the world, with secret hope and

fear,—
I longed to try if I could win that world's broad, honest

ear;—
'Twas done—applauding words of life came thickly on

my way,
And those who caught my holly leaves, flung back a
sprig of bay;
" We like your notes," the " people" cried, " come sing
again" and so
My " Christmas Holly" bound me to ye, ten years ago.
Since then we've mingled cheerfully within our "House-

hold Room,"
Ye've beard me sing " Old Dobbin's" worth, and tell
" Old Pincher's" doom, _ _

Ye bailed me in my " Murray Plaid," and listened to my
strain,
When like a baby in a field I wove my" Daisy" chain;
Ye took my simple " Old Arm Chair," ye knew it was a

part
Of Love's rich cedar tree, that Death had cut down in
my heart:
Ye smiled to see my " Old Straw Hat " laid by with

earnest rhyme,
And chorused when a " People's Song" awoke your spirit
chime;
Oh! many a changeful carol•lilt has knitted us I trow,
Since first my " Christmas Holly" flourished, ten years
ago.
I bring ye now a posy bunch of varied scent and hue,
And rather think " Forget Me Not," will anxiously peep
through;
True loyal hands to Nature's cause, have helped to pluck
the flowers,
And pray that ye will take them home to nurse i❑ eve-
ning hours.
What say ye? will they gain a place upon the window
sill?
Have ye some household nook to spare, which they will
serve to fill?
And as ye took my sombre branch in midst of wintry
gloom,
Will ye as tenderly receive my bunch of spring-time
bloom?
Once safe beneath your sunny care, oh! how the leaves
Will blow,
And proudly crown the hope you gave me, ten years ago.
Spring flowers are sweet in every place, we like to see
them come
OH upland sod, by roadside hedge, and round about our
home;
the monarch lady bears there 'mid the jewels on her breast,
And Poverty will seek a bud to deck its tattered vest.
Oh! take my. mingled offering.—l long to hear you say
Ye like the simple blossoms which I place upon your way.
Et is the lucid dew of truth, that gems each painted cup,
'Tis freedom gives the fragrance, and my heart strings
tie them up;
0! take them " gentle reader," let my " spring flowers"
live and grow
With ye who reared my " Christamas Holly," ten years
ago. ELiza. COOK.
