COLONEL HILL, S3D REGIMENT, AND THE
PLYMOUTH TOWN COUNCIL. At the last electios for
the borough of Plymouth, Sir Henry Blackwood, who is
an elector, rather imprudently produced a copy of
the Standard newspaper among a crowd of persons,
ly
and publicly announced the defeat of Lord John
Russell in the City
. Sir HenryHe„ry was immediately
set upon by a number of the bystanders, and being in
danger of his life, Colonel Hill, and others of the 53d, in
undress, rushed to his relief, when an affray took
place, and blows were exchanged. The next day the
Colonel waited on the Mayor and expressed his regret
in the presence of the town-clerk at his having been
present during the election. The Colonel's explana-
tion was considered perfectly satisfactory to the Mayor
and the town-clerk. At a meeting of the Plymouth
Town-Council on the 18th, a resolution was passed,
" That the presence of the military during an election
is highly improper; and that it be a recot,ntnendation to
Lord 11ill, the Commander-in-Chief, that all officers and
soldieh should remain in the barracks during any future
election for this borough ;" and " That a copy of this
resolution be forwarded to the Horse- Guards." The '
Council consists of about 18 Conservatives and 30 Whigs.

POPEW POETI:

t

Mr. Smith deserves high praise for the spirited
manner in which he is carrying on his " Standard
Library," of which the present edition of Pope's
Poems—comprised in one five shilling Number
—is a favourable, specimen. Nothing can be
completer or more elegant than this edition,
which we doubt not, will very speedily achieve
an extensive circulation. Few writers, indeed,
are more likely to repay the expense of re-pub-
lication, no matter in what form, than Pope, for
he was a poet essentially English in the quality
of his intellect, sound, manly sense being the
source and mainstay of his strength, the primary
feature of his genius. His " Essay on Man"
abounds—to say nothing of its incomparable
grace of diction—in thoughts, sentiments, and
opinions which find an echo in the breast of
every intelligent reader; and even in his
" Dunciad," clumsy as its design, and course
and intemperate as is its execution, there are seve-
ral lofty poetic flights, which will surprise those
who have allowed themselves to be influenced
by the absurd clamour that he had little or no
imagination. There are few things, even in Mil-
ton—certainly none in Dryden—more stately. or
more pregnant with thought, than the closulf,
passage of this singular and wayward satire. 01
his Epistles, it is enough to say that they are,
the tersest and wittiest specimenS of the satirical
we have in the language ; and that of all their
numerous imitators none have approached them
in force and neatness of touch. A single couplet
of Pope often contains more wisdom than is to
be found in whole pages of our professed ill?"
ralists ; and this is not thrown out ostentatiously
or oracularly, but as if it dropped from „jaw.;
writer by sheer accident. As Johnson, and after
him, Byron, justly observed, " a thousand years
may roll away before we have such another poet
as Pope."

FINE ARTS.
BURFORD'S PANORAMA OF JERUSALEM..
This painting was exhibited for a
private view
yesterday; it is a clever specimen of the art,
indeed it may rank among the best panoramas
that Mr. Burford has produced. Thu drawings'
it seems, were taken from the terrace of the hoot'
of the Aga, or Governor of Jerusalem; and th 6
view from this elevation is most compx:chensivei
embracing nearly the whole of the unportso
rtations mentioned in Scripture, and a vast ss:
semblage of monasteries, mosques domes, 111113 a
rets, &c., which sparkle under the rays of all
Eastern sun, with extreme splendour. Noir
diately in front of the spectator, towards the
South, stands the beautiful mosque of Omar, 0c,,"
copying the site of the Temple of Solomon, al ul
resembling, from its curious style and variety 01
gay colours, an immense piece of Mosaic work,
the rugged summits of stony and unfruitful hills
appearing behind, with a portion of the Dead
Sea in the distance, inclosed by lofty and :nays--
tic mountains. As a whole, the panorama is
one of the most interesting and picturesque.that
has appeared for some years.
