SOUTH DEVON ELECTION.

TO THE EDITOR OF THE SUN.
SlR,—Your exertions in the cause of Reform demand the
thanks and gratitude of every friend to good government ; the
advancement of which being now in a great measure dependant
upon the struggle taking place in Devonshire, it behoves every
one, however limited his means, to contribute his mite. I beg
to enclose a trifle, which I will trouble you to transmit to the
proper quarter, in aid of Lord J. Russell's return ; and remain
Your very obedient Servant,
A NOTTINGHAMSHIRE DISSENTER.

If we 'were not assured that perfection in works of
art resembles the horizon in a landscape—an object
always in view, yet always unapproachable—we should
pronounce this lovely edition of the Poetical Works
of the Bard of Memory, perfection in itself. With the
most beautifully illustrated of the writers of modern
poets and novelists, it is above all comparison. There
is an air of classic elegance, coupled with a simpli-
city, and an ideal realization of the sweetest visions of
the poet, about the illustrations which produces an
effect on the mind like the presence of enchantment.
The trite, but expressive, " beautiful I beautiful" ut-
tered unconsciously, and in a half whisper, is a homage
which even the most ignorant will offer at the shrine of
the artists. The portrait of the author, by Finden, from a
a drawing by Sir Thomas Lawrence, is a most mas-
terly production. The countenance is admirably
delineated—pensive, but not melancholy ; thought-
ful, but neither moody, sullen, nor selfish. We only
regret, as he rests his chin on his knuckles, that we
have not a better view of his hand, which
appears larger than Byron would have cho-
sen for a model of the genuine AriAocracy.
Of the vignettes, separately, we expressed our admira-
tion at great length,- when they first appeared some
twelve months since. Many of them are perfect gems
—chcf-d'ceuvres of the combined powers of imagina-
tion and the skill of the artist. The scenes by moon-.
light—the groups of young lovely beings enjoying,
their evening sports beneath the shade of the vil-
lage trees, or reclined in happy indolence near the
margin of some brig ht bubbling rivulet—carry
us, as it were, bey and the confines of this
cold world into the regions of fairy-land. The din,
the bustle, and the perpetual jostling and elbowing of
every-day life is forgotten, while we continue to gaze
upon the surpassing loveliness, and the still repose. of
scenes and beings which appear to realize the indistinct
visions that used to float before our eyes in infancy.
Sleeping cities—seas unruffled by a breeze and unrip-
pled by a prow—shepherds and shepherdesses piping
in the cool shade at noon -day—groups of happy grape-
gatherers, half concealed. by the ripe clustering bunches
—these are the quiet,the peaceful scenes, that illustrate
the pages of one of our sweetest and most popular poets.
All is gentleness—lovelineu—happiness. The beauty
and the innocence of an Eden existence meets us in
every page.
To offer an opinion, on the merits of the poetry of
Rogers would be to trifle with the time of the public,
as well as to waste our own. The whole of his poems
will be comprised in teen monthly parts, of which
three have already appea .red.

THE P. 4RTERRE.
The tenth part of this very amusing journal of fiction
and literary scraps has just appeared. As a miscellany of
musing trifles it has no superior.

Mn. MURRAY.—We regret that a paragraph
copied from the Glasgow Courit,”, was quoted in our paper of
Saturday, reflecting on ISt.. Mvirray's " Sabbath-breaking
