Again he says that poetry is " the bright precipitate
of truth," and that the poet's mission is to sort out many
glorious likenesses in the world, and string them into
music—the poet's pens being
The true divining rod
Which trembles tow'rds the inner founts of feeling;
Bringing to light and use, else hid from all,
The many sweet clear sources which we have
Of good and beauty in our own deep bosoms."
Poetry begins where matter of fact ends. It is fact
and feeling idealized and unrolled in beauty and power.
Shelley says of it, that it " lifts the veil from the hidden
beauty of the world, and makes familiar objects be as if
they were not familiar." Keats says it is " a drainless
shower of light
'Tis the supreme of power;
'Tis might half slumbering on its own right arm ;
And that the great end of poetry is
That it should be a friend
To soothe the cares and lift the thoughts of man."
Its language is musical, and assumes the measure of
verse. But as poetry is ideal, and depends not on its
clothing for its power, verse is not indispensable to it.
Jeremy Taylor's writings contain passages of the noblest
poetry, conveyed in grand and solemn prose. Bunyan's
tine and truly poetical allegory is not written in verse.
Some of Milton's grandest imagery is contained in his
prose writings. Carlyle is a great poet, though despising
the artifice of verse. Ossian s poetry is not couched in
verse, and yet Napoleon held him (whoever be was) to be
the greatest of poets. Nor was Napoleon himself with-
out poetry. Pointing to the Pyramids he said to his
army, " Forty centuries look down upon us." Surely
that was no mean stroke of poetry—one which his
nephew of the tame eagle gives no hopes of equalling.
But true poetry may assume many other forms besides
the spoken. In painting it reaches great heights: witness
the grandeur of Martin's conceptions, nor are Denby and
Turner far behind him. Even Landseer has treated
animal subjects with the true feeling of poetry, witness
" The Slain Fallow Deer," exhibited by him at the
Royal Academy some two years ago, " The Dead Dam"
lies on the snow, which is died with its trickling blood,
while the fawn, after long pattering round its mother,
vaiely tries to suck the ineffectual teat. Bailey and
Calder Marshall are poets in sculpture; they embody a
poetic idea in the marble, which lives enduringly,
Beethoven, Mendelssohn, and Meyerbeer are great poets
in music, and perhaps greater and sublimer than all is
Handel. Poetry is a gre at enuobler of life; it is purify-
ing, refining, and elevating. Many cau say of it w hat
Coleridge did—" Poetry has been to me its own exceed-
ing great reward. It has soothed my afflictions, it has

rous, included almost all the rank and fashion of the metro-
polis,tesides many foreign visitors of distinction. The fol-

GLASGOW, JUNE 28.—Cotton—The market has
been dull all the week; transactions have taken place only
on a limited scale, and prices of middling American were
from ksd. to Md. lower. The better qualities maintain
pretty nearly 4iner rates. The stock in Glasgow at pre-
sent amounts to 33,000 bales. At the same period last year
the amount was 35,000 bales. The demand for goods and
yarns has been lighter this week, and prices are a shade
easier. As summer has now set iu in earnest, it is expected
that the home trade in light fabrics will receive a healthy
impulse. Pig Iron—The market for pig iron continues
almost at a standstill, shipments much mailer, but rather
more inquiry for warrants. Thep rice of No. 1, may
be quoted at 395. 6d., and Galtsherne at 418.

DEATH OF 111 R. DYCE SOMBRE.
The lovers of the marvellous
.and the lovers of the
scandalous will regret to learn the death, which took
place on Tuesday evening, at his apartments in Davies-
street, of Mr. Dyce Sombre, a gentleman whose strange
career in Europe, with his not less marvellous antece-
dents in the East, have furnished so many a piquant
subject of conversation and conjecture. Ho appeared in
this country, we think, about a dozen years ago, bring-
ing with him a reputation, not ill-tounded, of almost fa-
bulous wealth, and said to be—although of European
blood by the father's side—thoroughly an Oriental in
education, customs of life, and manners of thought.
His arrival attracted much notice. He became one of
the feted lions of the season, and ultimately married, in
1840, Mary Anne, daughter of the Earl St. Vincent.
A. separation soon took place, and the legal proceedings
consequent upon this ill-starred marriage—followed by
those adopted for the purpose of establishing Mr. Dyce
Sombre's lunacy—were lug matters of public talk and
universal notoriety. Into either branch of the multitu-
dinous details in question this is certainly not the time
to enter ; suffice it to say that the deceased gentle-
man, even laying aside his alleged lunacy, was
not—whatever were his feelings and opinions, and
whatever were his actions—fairly amenable to the
standard of European judgment. Born and educated—or
rather not educated—in a state of false and depraved
Oriental semi-civilization, into which entered, in no in-
considerable degree, the worst vices of the Western
world, Mr. Sombre was unhappily induced to change
the moral and physical atmosphere in which he had
been brobght up for a new sphere, to which he had
neither the mental vigour nor the mental flexibility to
adapt himself. A man of stronger mind might proba-
bly have worked himself clear of the barbarisms and
pollutions with which he had been surrounded. Mr.
Sombre, however, was not so gifted, and his life in Eng-
land was such as to afford abundant matter for the gra-
tification of the strongest appetite for the raciest species
of gossip. His attempt to enter public life was seconded
by the worthy and enlightened electors of Sudbury,
who sent him to Parliament, from whence, however, he
was speedily ejected on petition—the borough being
soon afterwards, mainly in consequence of proceedings
at that election, disfranchised. For the last few years
Mr. Sombre has resided on the Continent, to escape the
effects of the decision of the Court of Chancery in his
case—a decision which he had come over to petition
against when he was seized with his fatal illness.
The deceased was understood to be the son of a Ger-
man adventurer in India, of the name of Summer, who
espoused the late Benin Oomroo. All manner of wild
and scandalous stories are afloat as to the life of this
woman and the death of her husband. It seems not to
be quite certain whether Mr. Dyce Sombre was the real
or only the adopted child; but, be that as it may, upon
the death of his father, the Begum transferred her ma-
ternal affections, such as they were, to the son of the
German, who was educated, it is said, by a Protestant
clergyman, although the old lady herself by turns pro-
fessed herself a Catholic and a Mahometan—having
actually built a cathedral and a mosque, with the inten-
tion of having two strings to her bow. After her demise
Mr. Dyce Sombre came to Europe, and first made him-
self remarkable, in Italy, by the extraordinary black
marble monument which he caused to be executed and
sent to India in memory of his benefactress. His subse-
quent lite in England has already been noticed. In
consequence of his death in a state of lunacy his money
in the funds, railway shares, and other property, of the
annual value of 11,0001., will become divisible between
Captain Troup and General Soldroli, the husbands of his
two sisters, who are next cf kin. An additional sum,
producing 4,0001. a year, will also fall to their families
on the death of Mrs. Dyce Sombre.—Chronicle.

THE GREAT EXHIBITION.
Yesterday by the police returns 49,399 people entered
the building, and the receipts amounted to 2,3631. 18s.
Every day the assemblage wears a more countryfied
aspect, and is more popular in its character, so that the
tailing off in the attendance is less easy to account for.
Until now the weather might have been pointed to as
the cause, but the decline is so steady that even this Ex-
planation ceases to be satisfactory. Perhaps, after all,
the multitude have found out that there are limits to
the numbers which the Crystal Palace can accommodate
with comfort, so as to see properly its varied wonders.
'F.he presence of charity children still continues to form
an agreeable feature of each day's incidents. Yester•
day the girls of St. Olave's school were enabled to go
there by the liherelity of Mr. ex-Sheriff Filcher, and the
trustees of the Broad-street Ward School also treated
their scholars to an inspection of the interior.
Her Majesty the Queen, accompanied by his Royal
Highness Prince Albert, the King of the Belgians, and
their respective suites, visited the Exhibition yesterday
morning, at their usual early hour. They first inspected
the Zollverein compartment, the most attractive fea-
tures of which were pointed out to them by M. von
Viebahn. Thence they passed into the division of
Northern Germany, and thence again into that of
Russia, where they were received by M. Kamensky and
M. Nottheck. The illustrious party were attended
during their stay by Mr. Cole. Not the slightest incon-
venience or crowding arose from the admission of the
public before their departure.

PORTSMOUTH, WEDNESDAY.--Major-General his
Royal Highness the Duke of Cambridge inspected the 'l2th

companying him to Portsmouth, and inspecting the 7th Fusi-
leers, 48th, and 95th Regiments, separately in drill order on
Southsea- common, which troops his Royal Highness will re-
view on the same ground to-morrow morning. This evening
