Satisfaction is
expressed by the Moniteur Grec,
at the circumstance that a
pro.pective recon6liation
is visible in the intelligence just then arrived from
Constantinople. Without placing any implicit re-
liance upon the sincerity of Prince METTERNICH in
the negotiation of a peace-making between the
Sublime Porte and King OTHO, the Government
organ is rejoiced at the probable termination of this
deplorable misunderstanding.
Every one interested in the political position of the
kingdom was alert when the intelligence started
' respecting the approaching elections ; and no incon-
siderable chagrin was expressed by the Athens
P Courier at the unconstitutional efforts being made
by COLETTI and his colleagues to bias the people in
i favour of their own particular candidates. The spirit
of faction was running high, and the evil influences
of that spirit were being exaggerated through the
instrumentality of the French representative.

" Th e importations of foreign and colonial produce

each r !tern showing a large increase over that for the

" F 'rom the manufacturing districts the accounts wear

ORITISII FUNDS°

Accounts from Constantinople to the 17th ultimo,
bring little more of interesting news respecting the
arrangements about to be effected between the Otto-
man Porte and the King of GREECE.

News had reached the capital from Kurdistan of the
most disastrous character, declaring that the Turks
had suffered a loss of either 3,000 or 4,000 men in a
conflict with the marauding mountaineers. Van was
described as garrisoned by a large body of the rebels,
under BEDERIIAN BEY, and it was believed that
that stronghold could not be wrenched from their
possession saving by a most sanguinary bombard-
ment.

Our intelligence from Madrid is up to the 26th
ultimo.

According to the Correo the Cortes will not be
convoked before the ensuing October. The same
journal states that a compromise has been effected
with the Bank of San Fernando, whereby, the ad-
vances recently made to the Government will be in a
great measure rendered secure.

While the Faro has repeatedly asserted that the
misunderstanding between her MAJESTY and the
KING-CoNsorr has been sedulously aggravated for
their own benefit by members of the Administration,
the Union, an organ of the Cabinet, protests that, on
the contrary, the Government have used every device
they could conjecture for the purpose, if possible, of
removing all impediments to a permanent and speedy
reconciliation—without effect, of course, without the
feeblest glimmering of effect.

The reports that Don FRANCISCO, the uncle of hPr
Most Catholic MAJESTY, was about to leave the capital
appear to be dying away; and all the mysterious in-
ferences deduced therefrom are disappearing in like
manner.

The Three per Cents. were done at 30 for cash;
the Five per Cents. at 17k; the Debt without Interest at
si; and the Coupons at 15.

Paris papers of Thursday have been duly received.
" We lately announced," says the Presse, "on the
authority of the Semaphore of Marseilles, that MA-
IIOMET ALI would this year visit Italy ; we learn,
however, that the Viceroy has renounced this inten-
tion."

. Wednesday next, the 7th instant, is definitively
fixed for the trial of General CUDIER ES and his pre-
surned accomplices. As the acle d'accusation was
transmitted to the four individuals accused on the
Thursday by the Court of Peers, and as the custo-
mary time permitted them by the law before they are
compelled to plead is the interval of five days, the
trial must positively 1)a delayed until Wednesday.
The second ballot for the three candidates for the
fourth arrondissement of Paris has been as unproduc-
tive of a termination to the contest as the preceding
one. According to the pre-announced arrangement
that second ballotting took place on Wednesday, the
number of rotes being 843—fifteen less than on the
foregoing afternoon. M. FLANDIN having retired
as we announced yesterday, the ballotting was as
follows : 369 for M. MALGAIGN N fifty-two
more than on Tuesday-258 for M. BERTRAND—
twenty-nine more than on Tuesday ; and 214 for
M. H.ORACE SAY —being only seventeen more than
on Tuesday. M. SAY had consequently retired. A
third ballot between the two remaining candidates
had taken place on Thursday, but the result was nut
declared before the departure of our dispatches.
The debate in the Chamber of Peers was continued,
on Wednesday, on the Medical Reform Bill, am 1
would possibly be brought to a conclusion on Friday .
It is stated that the following are among the mos t
remarkable and conspicuous provisions of Pari s
and Chartres Railway Bill, as corrected by th 3 Corn -
mittee :—lt authorises the Minister of Public Work :s
to regulate in the following manner the repa:•ment i)f
the loan of five millions made by the State to tl to
Versailles (Left Bank) Railway Company. To th at
amount of capital will be added the interest on th at
sum at 4 per cent. from the day when the money w as
paid until the promulgation of the present Bill;
likewise the interest at 3 per cent. on the new
capital, from the promulgation of the present B ill
to the opening of the Chartres line, and three years
afterwards. The total thus formed shall be paid
back to the State with 3 per cent. interest, in
60 equal annual payments, from the period just steed.
This regulation, however, cannot be consented to
until after the union of the two Versailles companies
on the basis already determined on. The companies,
when united, are to lay down the iron way on
the Versailles to Chartres line, and to purchase the
working stock. Until Feb. 1, 1848, the Minister of
Public Works is authorised to concede direct to the
two Versailles companies united the Versailles to
Rennes Railway, with branch lines from Le Mans
to Caen, and from Chartres to Alencon, in con-
formity with the provisions of the Bill of June 21,
1846, with, however, the following modifications:—

That the concessions shall not exceed 75 years
for both the main lines and the branches ; and
that in case the part of the Paris to Caen be-
tween Caen and Mezidon shall not 'be completed
when the earthworks of the branch line between
Le Mans and Mezidon shall have been finished, the
company may execute it of itself, under the surveil-
lance of the Government engineers, an.] shall reap all
the benefit of the working until it shall have been
paid back by the Caen Company the money so laid
out. The length of concession of the Versailles line

is to be reduced to the term fixf-d for the Versailles

to Rennes line, without, however, going under
seventy-five years from the period of the line between
Versailles and Chartres being fully at work.
" At the departure of the mail from Oran," says

the Moniteur Algerean of the 25th ult., "news had
been received of a check given by ABM.EL-KADER
to the force sent against him by the Emperor of
MOROCCO. The next mail will no doubt bring us
the details of this sad event, and of the degree of its
importance. There are as usual many contradictory
reports on the subject; one version even states that
the Morocco troops had the victory. Be the fact

what it may, every precaution has been taken to pre-
vent such events from being felt in the province of
Oran." Otherwise the intelligence from Algeria is of

,rifling importance.

ALLEGED MURDER IN SEVEN DIALS.—On Friday
afternoon Mr. Bedford held an inquest at Charing•cross
Hospital on the body of Edward Meads, aged 36, a brass
finisher, who, it was alleged had died from the effects of
a stab inflicted by a woman named Grantom, with whom
he cohabited. The particulars of the case have recently
appeared in the police reports. From the evidence it
appeared that the deceased and the woman had been in
the habit of quarreling, and that on Monday last a fight
was heard in the room they inhabited, after which Mary
Grantotn came out of it with a knife in her hand, and the
deceased was found with a severe wound in his side. Mr.
George M. Young described the nature of the injury the
deceased had received. He died at half-past two on
Wednesday morning. The deceased told witness that
his wife did not stab him, but that he did it himself by
falling on tbQ knife he held in his hand. The jury re-
turned a verdict of "manslaughter" against Mary Aun
Grantom, alias Meads.

ROYAL MILITARY ACADEMY.—Lieut. J. D. Telfer
has been appointed officer of the company of Gentlemen
Cadets, vice Talbot, promoted ; Captain J. Travers Ins
been appointed assistant inspector of practical artillery ;
and Lieut. J. F. Travers instructor of surveying.

VISIT OF THE QUEEN TO INVER-
NESS AND SUTHERLAND.
(From the Inverness Courier.)
We have received the following iniormation from a
source on which we place the utmost reliance :—"
Queen has taken Laggan from the Marquis of Abercorn
for the shooting season, The Court will remain there
from the beginnin,,,, of August to the beginning of
September. Iler Majesty, it is understood, will visit
Inverness on b(r way to Dunrobiu, the second wet k
in S •ptember, coming down the Caledonian Canal
from Fort William." Nothing, we trust, will occur to
interfere with these arrangements. The royal visit
will afford unbounded gratification to all the Queen's
loyal subjects in the Highlands, and the proposed route
will enable her Majesty to see some of the finest scenery
iu the Highlands. We may anticipate for the royal
party a magnificent " gathering of the clans." Since
the days of the fiery cross, no such rallying cry has
been heard as the name of the Qua en, and from Ben
Nevis to Ben More, in Assynt, the whole population
will be poured forth to cheer every step of the royal pro •
gress. It is now two hundred and eighty-five years since
Mary Queen of Scots visited Inverness, and no other
British Sovereign has since penetrated into our northern
region. Mary found the gates of Inverness Castle shut
against her entrance ; for the Earl of Huntly had then
organised a powerful confederacy in opposition to the
Crown. Queen Victoria has fallen on calmer and hap-
pier days. All gates will be thrown open on her approach,
and from hall and cottage—from Dunrobin Castle down
to the meanest hut on the mountain side—there will be
heard only one voice of generous loyalty and affection.
The shooting lodge of the Marquis of Abercorn
stands on the margin of Loch Laggan, at Arc'.
vreckie, on the property of Cluny Macpherson.
" The scale on which this lodge is erected," says
the author of the Statistical Account, " may be
inferred from the fact that it is taxed for sixty
windows." The interior accommodation is of the
most splendid description, and Mr. Edwin Land.
seer, in one of his visits to the north, graced the
walls of some of the rooms with the fruits of his
inimitable genius. The situation of the lodge;
and the whole of the neighbourhood, is picturesque and
romanti cn the highesthhis favourite degree.
fiPrinceeld sAlbertports. willn also
have ample scope for
ad-
dition to Laggan, the Marquis of Abercorn possesses the
adjoining ground of Glensheiro, the property of Evan
Baillie, Esq., on which there is also a handsome lodge.
The extent of his Lordship's Highland shootings may be
gathered from the fact, that his rental is very nearly
2,0001. per annum—the deer-forest alone being let for
1,3621.

'UNERAL OF THE LATE MR. RAWLINSON.—On
Friday morning the mortal remains of this highly es-
teemed gmtleman and excellent magistrate were con-
signed, under the superintendence of Mr. Stevens, un-
dertaker, Charlotte-street, Portland-place, to the Kensal-

and four, three mourning coaches containing various
members of deceased's family and friends, followed by
five private carriages, amongst which were those of Lady
Rodd and Sir Frederick Roe.
RESIGNATION OF THE GOVERNORSHIP OF MALTA.-
-Letters from Malta of the 24th of June announce that
it is currently reported in that island that his Excellency
the Governor, Sir Patrick Stuart, bad, in consequence
of having been refused a month's leave to visit Italy, on
the plea of ill health, respectfully tendered his resigna-
tion. His Excellency has laboured for some weeks
under an attack of dysentery, which constrains him to
the step he is said to have taken. The Maltese are
anxious to have a civilian appointed to succeed him, and
it is not improbable their wish will be gratified.
A considerable heaviness was produced in the
Money-market on Friday afternoon, by the announce•
ment of the failure of the banking-house of Messrs.
Clayton and Co., of Preston. It is an old firm, and the
parties connected with the house have always been much
respected, but the stoppage has not excited much surprise
among those connected with the same part of the coun-
try. The amount of the liabilities of the house has
not yet been ascertained. Other failures were spoken
of, but the only one which we could trace was one which
occurred some days ago in Wood-street.

ELIZA COOK'S POETRY.
(Fe toe DispateA )
Ma. Einsou,—You have favoured your readers
with a good likeness of Eliza Cook ; but there exists
a far better portrat—sketebed, though unconsciously,
by herself; and delineating, not indeed the external,
but the mental features of the popular poetess. Her
truest portrait is in her lyric compositions ; and while
thousands are receiving with delieht, and treasuring
wi!li care, the ieseellent ens-avierer whieli makes her
ac hone in their deeilines, I wouli them to
make her at home also in their minds and memories,
and to read her works not only for the enjoyment of
particular songs and passages, but so as to realise the
intellectual and moral companionship of the writer,
and understand and appreciate her character.
This is indeed, the noblest work of literature. It
gives us, not only . lessons of wisdom, but the friend-
ship of the wise. No product of the mind is to be
compared with the mind itself from which it flowed.
its
source; emanation is iesgnificant compared with
but it leads us towards that seurce. Even a
soitary ray alight guides the gaze to the sun. The
perception of in iividud character in a work is the
best good we derive from the best work. It renders
an isolated gratification of taste subservient to the
widest and noblest influences on the heart and life.
Thin philosophising, which almost every reader
practises, in a greater or less degree, though often
without being aware of it until the critic comes with
his explanation, is our compensation for the change
introduced by the Press—the one small evil in the
vast ocean of good created by that invention. A
hook is in itself a cold thing. To have Plato's Dia-
logues in print is poor work compared with gathering
round the Sage in the groves of Academe, and catch-
ing from his lips the living accents. " I sing," says
the modern Bard, speaking to the eye alone, by the
help of type-founders, papermakers, compositors, ink
balls, folding, and stitching. Of old, the Bard struck
no figurative lyre, nor chaunted with fictitious voice;
but his fingers drew forth real melody to the en-
chanted ear, and his inspired tones went thrilling to
the heart. The song and the singer were one, as
they have rarely been in later times. For the charm
thus lost, we must make up, as well as we can, in
other ways. The painter's and graver's art does
something ; the reader's mind must do the rest. It
is to stimulate the minds of readers to such an opera-
tion that these criticisms are appended to the portrait
bestowed upon your subscribers.
Eliza Cook is just the writer to be at home with.
and to make at home with ourselves. The spirit of
home pervades her compositions. Every household
object has its song ; from the kitchen to the garret,
and every flower of the adjoining garden, or of the
afield beyond. True, her imagination will sometimes
soar with the lark above the clouds • or skim the
ocean, in calm or storm, to bask in the golden light
of oriental regions ; but her " heart untravelled,
fondly turns" to home; and like the lark, from the
loftiest flight, she drops into her nest. Yes, there she
is ; in " the Room of the Household ;" you may see
her by " the Rushlight ;" in the " Old Arm Chair ;"
the " Grandfather's Stick" is by, a sacred relic ; she
has been gathering " Buttercups and Daisies," or
" Blue Bells in the Shade," or sporting with " Old
Pincher;" and the "Murray Plaid" is thrown by, with
the " Old Straw Hat," and she is musing on childish
times, when she swung on the " Farm Gate," or wore
" Red Shoes," and played at "Tom Tidier's Ground."
People send their cards with Mr. and Mrs. Such-an-
one at home, on such a night ; but Eliza Cook is
always at hOme, and every where, with all who de
serve it. The reader that has no relish for her songs
ought not to have a home, and has no proper concep-
tion of the meaning of the word. Her card or motto
might be " Poetry at Home."
Perhaps it was one of those .pieces whose subjects
have 'just beep enumerated that suggeste&.to a critic•
in a splenetic mood the not very felicitous aarcasin of
calling 'these lyrics "Dunstable stuff." And yet the
appellation was better than its author intended. The
straw hats of Dunstable are very serviceable for a
long country ramble. On a warm summer's day
they are very pleasant and familiar things-; and they
wear very well to the last. If that be a sneer, what
would be praise ? False criticism, like the false
prophet, unwittingly blesses where it meant to curse.
The poetess may sing defyingly,
And if one hay-leaf falls to me.
I'll stick it firm and fast in thee,
My Old Straw Hat.
There are vulgar smatterers who will think such
themes'"shockingly low." They can reciprocate no
sentiment in a less costly attire than silks and satins.
They feel neither poetry nor pathos beneath the
Peerage. The muse, as they suppose, only "dwells
in marble halls." Everything about her must be
Eastern or antique. They are in raptures with the
bulbul, and scorn the skylark. In the Cymar they
make shift to see more than in English costume.
They are profoundly classical in taste, and know
the Latin for a three-cocked hat. Any weapon
more modern than a spear. is spurious in verse. In
vain are such people told, but it is the
fact, nevertheless,,that the wellsprings of all poetry is
in the common human heart. It may gush forth and
overflow upon the most familiar articles of cottage
furniture. All the great poets of classical antiquity
were homely. Virgil poetized his farm-yard; with
Homer we sit down to heroic cookery and feasting,
which show that fingers were made before forks.
Transfer this dandyism to the East (of the world,
and not of Temple-bar), and Orientalisms are no
longer rich and rare. All subjects are elevated, on
which poetry alights, and leaves the radiant traces of
its footsteps. A song on Irish lumpers may have
higher inspiration than one on old Olympus. " The
poet," says Byron, " can make a silk purse out of
a sow's ear." And if it be asked, why select such
topics, when there are many with dignified associations,
the reply is ready. The choice is a championship of
human nature, in its most frequent mode of exist-
ence. It ministers to the millions, and feeds them
with Angel's food. The divine is brought to the
cottage-door; and tarries there, like celestial guests
of old, in the Patriarch's tent. Put an Eliza Cook,
by her portrait and her poems, in the homeliest
abode, and you give new feelings, a new sense, to
its inmates. They look around ; they sing, they
weep, they sympathise, rejoice, and hope ;
and a glory unperceived before plays over all the fa-
miliar objects of their habitation. Monsieur Jour-
dain (in Moliere's comedy of the Bourgeois Gentil-
homme) was astonished that he had spoken prose all
his life without knowing it. The millions find that
they have breathed an atmosphere of poetry with like
unconsciousness. The writer who works this wonder
is a public benefactor. The multitude harmonized
by song, which comes home to their business and
bosoms, realise the fable of Orpheus and the brutes.
The homeliest themes are not the least favourable,
perhaps the most of all, to true delicacy and refine-
ment of feeling. Miss Cook's published works may
be confidently referred to in proof of this fact ; she is
never mawkish, affected, or what is called sentimental.
The emotion she expresses or excites is always sound
and healthy, It has a clear tone, and rings like a
bell. There is a sturdy morality in it, often made
tender, but never weak, by susceptibility. Happily
the tendency of her compositions is not matter of
mere speculation. The transported convict, weeping
over his tattered copy of " Our Native Song," super.
sedes or silences a thousand criticisms, and is a nobler
trophy than warrior ever won. After that anecdote
(vide Preface to " Melaia,") it may be said, as Dr.
Johnson said of the "Elegy in a Country Church-
yard," "Had Gray written otten thus, it had been vein
to blame, and useless to praise him." Gray did not
often write like the Elegy; Eliza Cook always writes
like "Our Native Song."
How delicious is that cluster of reminiscences which
makes poetry of an accumulation of ballad titles in the
lines on "Old Songs,"--
Old songs, old songs, what heaps I knew,
From " Chevy Chase" to " Black-Eyed Sue,"
From " Flow thou regal purple stream,"
To " Rousseau's" melancholy " Dream."
I loved the pensive " Cabin Boy,"
With earliest truth and real joy ;
Me warmest feelings wander back.
TO greet " Tom Bowline" and " Poor Jack;"
And, oh! " Will Watck," the " smuggler" bold,
My plighted troth titou'lt ever hold!
I doated an the " Auld Scot's Sonnet,"
As though I'd worn the plaid and bonnet;
I went abroad with " Sandy's Ghost;"
I stood with Bannockburn's brave host,
And proudly toss'd my curly head,
With " Soots wha hae wi' Wallas* bled."
I shouted " Cumin' through the rye,"
With restless step and sparkling eye;
And chased away the passing frown
With " Bonnie ran the Burnie down.",
Here was inspiration. The enjoyment was the pres
tige of power. Appreciation was the herald of pro
duction.
Old songs! old songs! ye fed, no doubt,
The flame that since has broken out;
For I would wander far and lone,
And sit upan the moss-wrapt stone,
Conning " old songs" till some strange power
Breathed a wild magic on the hour;
Sweeping the pulse chords of my soul,
As wines o'er sleeping waters roll.
'Twas done—the volume was unsealed—
The hallowed mission was revealed.
Old somas called up a kindred tone;
An echo started—lavas my own.
Joy, pride, and riches swell'd my breast,
The " lyre" was mine, and I was blest.
Rightly was the vocation construed ; and its real
worth and nobleness were justly understood.
Oh 1 who shall say the ballad line
That stirs the heart is nut !
And where's the heart that would not dare
To place such song beside the prayer?
I have dwelt chiefly on the songs of Eliza Cook,
because they are her Inuit characteristic compositions;
an I those in which she renders the most peculiar and
valuable service to our popular literature. England
is not, like Scotland, or Ireland, a laud of song. Our
poverty, in this respect, lists Wen obvious and de-

FASHIONS FOR JULY.
(From the London and Paris Ladies' 11 agazine of
Fashion.)
All light and transparent materials wee now in favour,
cachemire barege is one of the prettiest ; the patterns
are mostly large for printed materials, as mousseline de
sole ; two shades of the same eelotar are very fashion-
able ; lilac, with violet, pink, or currant, dark green or
light, the organd)s are in large cheeks, and for morning
wear jaconots and brillare el with flounces ; the en-
semble of toilettes is s3enple, the dresses intended for
country wear are priracipally redingotes and peignoirs of
foulard de Rambeell Nankin, with deep hem, and mantis
Luisa trimmed with Nankin fringe—many are made with
corsage a ritmazone; toles de Chine are ornamented
with erforoidery in soutriehe. For the present moznent
red;ragotes of muslin, lined, with collar, are pretty; the
P.-orsages are made high, and full at the shoulders, with
ceinture and long ends; some are trimmed with several
rows of lace, divided by bouillons, with a ribbon
through; others with muslin festoneee or bouillonnee;
these are accompanied by black lace shawls; some are
of net, almost covered with lace, and partake of the
(lend tnantelet form; more elegant ones are small,.
with a simple row of lace half an ell in depth, the)
same style is worn in white over coloured dresses.
A. new material, termed taffetas ruban, is very fashion-
able; it consists of a silk stripe and a wide Nati,'
one shaded, chine, or brocbee imitating ribbon. Flounces
and ruches in Bilk materials are pinked in crate
or tedbercaoidq;
others are in deep vandyke edged with gimp
printed tarlatanes, mousselines de soie graeadines re-
quire flounces, and under skirt of ehite silk, the corsages
full at the shoulders and waist, forming gerbe with_
ceinture of ribbon. For all thick materials the sleeves;
are tight; others are wide, fulled into a wristband and;
showing the bouillons of the white sleeves below, ore with cuffs turned back tz la Louis XV., finished with a
pits 6of ribbon. Many short steeves are worn with
mittens. Many redingotes have been made in Pattie
of white taffetas, but very simple in style, merely closing
with gimp buttons ; light collars are decidedly
fashion—
able this season.
The uncertainty of the temperature renders varie'iy necessary iu out door toilette, and the lace shawl': of
the morning muet be often replaced for an evening
promenade by a wadded cloak, closing to the throe.% with
pelerine, vet long ends crossing in front ; massy par-
dessus Wl3 with frills, hating wreaths of flowers, broelier
on the same material ; the mantelets generally form
shawl behind, and tbe ends in front are short ; many are
of black figured P,et, trimmed with lace of embroideredz
musacliand cn • those 'ef taffeta glai 6, with white, dark lime.
ureant, are favourite colours.
In bonnets, all the lightest materia's are now, in re-
quest; ene dentelle paille is particularly so; bonnets
crin and elites are also of pretty texture; they are linedi
with lilac, trimmed wish ribbon, velonte or checked;
pailles de riz are ornamented with large flowers; marine
ones, chesnut blossom, honey-suckle, &c. Some bonnets
of dentelle paille are lined with a. light coloured silk,,
with pinked ruche inside, and bunches of flowers; some,
fancy straws have silk crowns, and V.,,(4 t' tints lined with
si.k and finished with a ruche, which continues rotw4 the bavolot; the bavolets are made larger than they were

Poetry began her work in the world by chaunting
oracles and laws, aisurning to be the voice of God to
man, dictating his ilolitics and religion. And then
she sang of savage wars, the is hod( of battle, and the
slain dragged at the victor's chariot wheels. From
scenes of blood she sought relief in the pastoral strain,
piping to listening flocks the artless love of shepherds.
In minstrel guise, she entered baronial halls, reciting
legends of the feats of feudal chiefs. Half turning
from the banquet, she crowned the revellers with
flowers, that wine and luxury might be restrained
from excess by dainty phantasies. Her inspiring
voice has ever and anon sounded the march of patriot-
ism for the assertion of right. And now, thanks to
such writers as the one whose likeness we contem-
plate, ..
she sojourns in cottages and lowly homes, irra-
diating them by her presence, which, inits influences,
makes them, though all the winds of heaven may
whistle through their walls, fairer than fabled bowers,
statelier than the palace, grander than the castle, and
holier than the temple. PUBLICOLA.

THERE'S NOTHING IN VAIN.
Oh! prize not the essence of Beauty alone,
And disdain not the weak and the mean in our way,
For the world is an engine—the Architect's own,
Where the wheels ofreast might keep the lure er in play
We love the fair valley, with bloom in the shade;
We sing of green hills—of the grape and the grain;
But be sure the Creator did well when he made
The stark desert and marsh— for there's nothing in vain.
We may question the locust that darkens the land,
And the snake, flinging arrows of death from its eye But remi-mber they come from the Infinite Band, ;
And shall Man, littleness, dare to ask why?
Oh! let us not speak of the " useless" or " vile,"
They may seem so to us—but be slow to arraign:
From the savage wolf's cry, to the happy child's smile,
From the mite to the mammoth, there's nothing in vain.
There's a mission, no doubt, for the worm in the dust,
As there is for the charger with nostrils of pride;
The sloth and the newt have their places of trust,
And the agents are needed, for God has supplied,
Oh! could we but trace the great meaning of ALL,
And what delicate links form the ponderous chain;
From the dew-drops that rise, to the star-drops that fall,
We should see but one purpose, and nothing in vain.

A second morning concert of vocal and instrumental
music was given at this theatre on Friday. The per_

which was executed with all the effect to be expected
from the distingui.shed artistes, the magnificent chorus,
and incomparable orchestra of that establishment. The
opening quartette, Stabat Ma!er dolorosa," was sung
by Mettles. Alboni and Corbari, Signors Lavia, und
Tugliafico.. who .was prevented by illness from
appearing at the last concert, gave the " Cujus Animate'.
in his Usually unrivalled' style. This was follawed by
the dive°, "'Quis est'Herno?" sung with delicious effect
by Madame Ri;nconi and Mdlle. Alboni, and which was
greatly applauded. The " Pro Peccatis " and " Eia.
Nlater," by Taniburini, were given with great effect. The
quartett, " Sancta Mater," by Alboni, Corbari, Mario,
and Tagliafico, obtained its just /need of applause. The
airs, "Fee ut Portern," by Alboni; and " Inflammatus,'
by Grisi; and the quartett, "Quando Cor," by Grisi,
Alboni, Mario, and Tareburiiii, were each epus ncored. The
finale, " Amen," was splendidly executed. A grad
tniseellaneous concert succeeded, of which the following
is the programme:—

The execution of the opening overture by Costa's band
was truly magnificent. The trumpet point, played be-
hind the scenes, and the crescendo passage for the
violins, were most effective; an encore was loudly and
deservedly called for, but was decliced. The duet by
Marini and Rovere was sung with great spirit and hu-
mour. Madame Ronconi sung the aria allotted to her
with much effect, and was deservedly applauded.
Madame Persiani's and Signor Salyi's duet, from Lucia
di Lammermoor, was rendered with considerable taste
and skill. Mario's serenade, " Corn' a gentil," was sung
with his usual taste, and called forth an instantaneous
encore. But the gem of the entire performance was the
celebrated a
dteuet fromsciSemiramide, by Grisi and Alboni,
" E feri," v;nich was executed in such a
manner as to produce a perfect furore. The
Giorno d'Orrore !" was rendered with the most ex-
quisite beauty and expression, and was truly a
treat for the musical amateur, such as is rarely
to be experienced. Ronconi's Romania was very ex.
pressively given, and he was called back at its conclu-
sion to receive the plaudits of the audience. The trio.
" Papataci," by Salvi, Marini. and Revere, was sung,.
with much effect. Illness, it was understood, prevented
Madame Pet siani from singing the air which was an.
tiounced for her from L'Eliszr d'Amore. The perferme
ante concluded by the " Battle Sintonia," which, such
as it is, was superbly executed by the orchestra, accom-
Apanied by two military bands, arranged on the stage.
s a composition we cannot say much in its praise ; an
the only portions which seemed to interest the audienced were the “ Rule Britannia" at the commencement, and
God save the Quet n" at the conclusion, which was
magnificently performed by the three bands, and at which,
the entire audience rose simultaneously. The house waa
literally crowded in every part.
