HISTORI,CAL MISCELLANY;
By W. C. TAYLOR, A. M.,
Of Trinity College, Dublin.
" This is an instructive volume for the youthful student, intended
as a Supplement to Pinnock's Grecian, Roman, and English Hist.),
ries. The first half of the volume is occupied with the primaeval
and classical periods ; in which the author has particulary directed
his attention to those branches of history on which school-books
are frequently deficient, although directly illustrative of the general
coarse of study. Among these topics may be instanced, the'histories
of the Persians and Carthagenians, the antagonists and rivals of
Greece and Rome. In the modern division, especial attention is
paid to the French system, and the Crusades, and afterwards fo the
English empire in India, and British commerce in general. Then
follows a series of British Biography, and, in conclusion, a view of
the British Constitution. Prefixed to the volume is a union map,
exhibiting, in one sheet, the ancient divisions of the world in red,
and the modern in black, an ingenious and_ very useful plan."—
Gentleman's Magazine.

BYRoN.—Poets must live the lives of poets, or they
will have no true fire. During the last eight years of Byron's
life he must have had innumerable glorious visions. His spirit
always haunts me on the lake of Geneva; and I behold him
for ever floating on its waves in all the shadowy brilliance. of
his imaginations, or, like Manfred, hovering over the, precipices
of the Alps ! I behold him at Venice,-at Ravenna, at Ferrara,
at Florence, at Rome, and at Pisa ; I see him enter the soul of
Dante, and wander with him in -his exile among the sombre
woods, where the melancholy and mysterious poet wrote his
sublime secrets of hell, purgatory, and paradise. Theie-are
many who will ask whether all the intense feelings expressed by
Byron in these places were not factitious extravagancies in
which he was not sincere, and which his life belied : 'I say;
sternly, no ! it is a mean and stupid mind _which can suspect
so ; no one can feign such intensities as Byron expresses :
when he wrote he was sincere, but his feelings were capri-
cious, and not always the same. If it can be contended that-
inconsistency destroys merit, wo be to human frailty I—Auto-
biography of Sir Egerton Brgdges.

Dingle and Lapworth, two of the'individuals against whom
proclamations had been issued, in consequence of their not
appearing when summoned at the Bar of the House, to be ex-
amined with respect to this Bill, were brought to the Bar in
custody, and after being_ closely questioned by the Lord Chan-
cellor as to the cause of their absenting themselves, and then
stating that they had not kept out of the way to elude the
process of the House, they were ordered to retire from the Bar.
The Earl of SHA FTE SBURY then presented a petition
from them, praying they might be discharged without the pay-
ment of fees. This the form of the House would not allow ;
but-

The LORD CHANCELLOR stated, that the House,
believing their statements, both at the bar and in their peti-
tions, would order them to be discharged upon the payment
of their fees, and upon their undertaking to appear to give
evidence on the Warwick Borough Bill whenever they were
called upon. His Lordship at the same time stated that
the further consideration of the Bill would be proceeded with
on Tuesday next, at ten o'clock iu the morning.
No further business was done, but the House was not ad-
journed in consequence of having to wait for the introduction
of the Irish Coercion Bill, the discussion of which was not
concluded till five o'clock ; shortly after that hour Mr. Chas.
Wood, accompanied by several other Members of the House
of Commons, brought up the Irish Coercion Bill, the News-
paper Postage Bill, the Lancaster Court of Comma:: Pleas
Bill, the Passage Court Bill, and several private Bills, all of
which were read a first time.
