REPLY OF ALFRED TENNYSON, ESQ.
THE NEW POET LAUREATE.
Mosaic Bard ! your lines, addressed to me,
Were not unwelcome lines—how could they be
I feel quite proud, in fact, that one like you
Should notice me—upon my word I do !
Nor would I let this first occasion slip,
Of warmly thanking such a brother "chip."
I do not wonder at your feeling " nettled,"
On finding how the " Laureateship" is settled.
When first you heard of what I'm now enjoying,
The disaire:ointment must have been annoying.
The wonder is that you so calmly mat it,
When every one expected " yon" to got it ;
T • get the berth, I mean, of Laureate Bard,
the lo:s of which you seem to take so hard.
But, really, what with one thing and another,
You're far more honoured than your laurelled brother.
Think for a moment, cousin, what you are—
The muse of MOSES, that commercial star.
Proud would your brother be if he could jump
From his appointed " post" to Aldgate pump.
The "cloth" of MOSES (understand the phrase)
Would please me quite as much as my " green bays."
Should MOSES, as you've hinted, change his muse,
And let me pop into your honour's shoes,
Good service to the dress I'll strive to do,
Although I know I can't come up to you ;
And oft shall MOSES have a rhyming benison,
From your exalted bother, ALFRED TENNYSON.

The Cologne Gazette says—
" Two reasons are assigned hero for the visit of King
Otho to Germany in the present melancholy state of
Greece. The first relates to the regulation of the Fut>
cession. It will bo remembered that Prince Leopold of
Bavaria, to whom the throne of Greece was secured
in the event of the demise of King Otho without lineal
descendants, resigned his claim to the throne, after the
revolution in 1542, on the ground, that on ascending the
throne he could not adopt the Greek religion—a sine
qua non of the constitution, extorted by the September
resolution. _ _

-"
It is the wish of King Otho to hitr© his eldest son,
now a child, baptised according to the Greek ritual, iu
order that he may hare no difficulty in appointing him
his successor.

The second cause of his visit refers to a very con-
siderable property, yielding about 600,000 drachmas p©r
annum, which comes to him by the death of the Grand
Duchess of Bavaria, widow of Charles Theodore. There
has been some difficulty about this affair, which the King
hopes to terminate amicably by his personal inter-
vention."

" The Duke of Eastern Gothia has arrived here with

are nuw assembled in this town. It is positively stated
that the Prince Royal will be nominated Viceroy of
Norway. The Lieutenant-General of the Kingdom,
Count de Loewenskjold has resigned, and the King has
accepted it. The King gave yesterday a grand flee to
the garrison of Christiana, and to the sailors of the fleet,
at the new town of Oicarshall, near our capital. The
English steamer, the Courier, coming from London, has
brought Mr. Crowe, Consul-General of England in
Norway, who is charged by an English company to
solicit from the King the authorisation to construct rail-
ways for uniting the principal seaports of the province
of Aekershuus. Mr. Crowe is accompanied by two
bankers of London, who propose to establish at Chris-
tiana a bank for discounts and loans on mortgage."

ITALY.

The Opinione of Turin, of the 3d inst., contains an
article, signed by M. Bianchi Giovini, who contends
that Piedmont cannot and should not accept the me-
diation of France in her difference with the Court of
Rome, because the Government of the- French Re-
public has thrown itself into the arms of the priests,
and caresses the Pope, Austria, and Russia. The
funeral service celebrated in the church of St. Philip
for the repose of the aonl of M. Santa Rosa was at-
tenth d by an immense crowd, and most of the
foreign refugees residing at Turin. Princess Mont-
leard, mother of the late King Charles Albert, had
arrived at the Royal Castle of Moncalieri, with her
son, Prince Montleard.
The Piedmontese Gazette of the 4th inst. contains
the following :
" The Armonia of the 2d, after copying the article of
the official journal contradicting a statement male by
the Courier de Lyon, relative to the mission of General
Della Marmora to that city, quotes an extract from the
Bulletin de Paris, in which it is asserted that the Gent-
ral, in a conversation with General d'Hautpool, gave the
latter to understand that the Piedmontese Government
was disposed to subscribe to certain concessions, in order
to maintain a friendly understanding between the Courts
of Turin and Rime. Ouce for all we declare that there
is no truth in the account of that conference and con-
versation." . _ _

The Risorgimento announces that the King bad
spontaneously placed at the disposal of the family of
the late Minister, Santa Rosa, the Royal villa, called
the Vine of the Queen.
A letter from Alexandria, of the 27th ult., states
that 10 of the 40 Lazarist missionaries, lately expelled
from Parma by the reigning Duke, had pissed
through the city on their return to their respective
convents at Turin, Genoa, and Casal. The:motive of
their expulsion was unknown ; some, however, attri-
buted the measure to the liberalism of those friars.
The Croce di Savoia, of the 4th instant, states, on
the authority of a correspondent entitled to credit,
that a Customs League had been concluded between
Austria and the duchie3 of Modena and Parma. An
Austrian agent wt.); lately visited Modena, where he
observed the strictest incog., is believed to have defi-
nitively concluded the treaty, which was forwarded
to Vienna on the 29th ult. Tuscany does not at
present form part of the league, but negotiations to
that effect were said to be pending.
The Constitutional of Florence cf the 31st ult. an-
nounces the return to that capital of the Grand Duke
and his family.

NEW 1110NT.HLY.

Leigh Hunt and Horace Smith, as usual, fill the
opening pages of the New Menthly. The contribu-
tion of the former is a graceful poem on " Godiva,"
inscribed to John Hunter, "friend of Leigh Hunt's
verse, and lover cf all duty ;" and Horace Smith has
compiled, under the heading " Musings in my
Study," sundry interesting pieces of information and
suggestive thoughts. One of the most attractive
articles in this number is " The Barricade of the
Jager- Zeile, from the Rough Notes of One who Fought
there" on this occasion we read

"Bern's activity was untiring. He allowed himself,
after the most unremitting labours, but three hours rest
at the utmost during the night, and ho upEeld the spirit
of the Mobile Guard by his frequent and cheering
peesence when engaged with the enemy. Whenever an
observation sat reside to him upon the numerical weak-
Deis of the effective force at command, a fact which,
without that, indeed, could not escape him, he always
replied: If we have only the will, we are strong.' In
the latter days cf the siege he wholly neglected his open
wounds, the dressing of which for years had bum ne-
cessary twice a day, as this always occupied above an
hour—a space of time which ho felt he could not then
give to them."
" Colonies and Colonization" is more liberal in its
tone thait might have been expected from the New
Monthly. The following description of the gradual
fortnatton of the British Constitution is sufficiently
correct, and perhaps accounts for its durable

DENMARK.

COPENIIAGEN, FEB. 27.—The Berlinger Zeitung
publishes an extract from the project of law relative
to the new loan. From this it appears that the Prus
sian Government has already paid the Danish Govern-
ment the sum of 216,000 dollars for the demands
made by Denmark for the damage sustained by Jut-
land, by the army under the orders of General
WRANGEL, in 1848.
It is stated that Denmark and Russia have con-
cluded a private treaty, by which the former will cede
to Russia the island of Bornholm, for its support in
the event of fresh hostilities with Schleswig.
The Baltic Journal, of the 24th, says—
" We are authorised to state that, in a Ministerial
conference held last night, it was de ermined to abstain
from any further negotiations relative to a fixed pro-
longation tf the armistice. This resolution has been
communicated to-day to the Ambassadors of the mediat-
ing powers, with the observation that the interests of
Denmark under present circumstances called fur such
conditions which in the opinion of the Government cuuld
not be accepted by Prussia or Germany."

PORTUGAL.

Advicea have aeen received from Lisbon to the Ist
of March.

Tne Royal Family and the Prince and Princess of
Joinville continued at Mafre.
The Count of Thomar hail laid before the House of
Deputies his annual report of the Home Department,
and presented twelve new projects of law relating to
reforms in the internal administration, division of
territory, recruitments, mines, statistics, &c.
The House had passed the Bill for confirming the
privileges of the Bank cf Portugal ; the principal
modifications which it makes in the original Bank
decree are the reduction of the capital from 11,000
to 18,000 contos, with power to reduce it to 5,000
contos, or 1,125,0001., when the old notes of the
Lisbon Bank and the Confiatca Company shall
have been paid off. The privileges of issu-
ing notes as a circulating medium is re-
stricted to the district of Lisbon, but the Bank
is empowered to establish branch agencies in different
parts of the country. The concassions granted by
the old Bank Charter of 7th June, 1824, are again
revived, and it is specially stated in the Bth article,
" Tbat the Bank may negotiate and discount bills and
all other papers of credit used in commerce, which
bear the number and quality of signatures required
by its statutes, and that the effects of all drawers,
acceptors, endorsers, and guarantees, shall be consi•
dered as tacitly and legally hypothecated for its pay-
ment without the necessity of registration."
A project of law, presented by the Deputy Mr.
Francisco Antonio da Fouseea, for taking off all duties
upon the export of grain and relieving the vessels
from tonnage dues, was likely to be adopted by the
Govertu2ent.

LONDON, THURSDAY, MARCII 7, 1850.

As we had anticipated, the second reading of the
Marriages Bill was yesterday carried by a clear and
decisive majority of 52—no less than 182 Members
having recorded their votes in favour of the removal
of the unjust and impolitic restriction now in force,
while 130 persons only appeared to sustain the ex-
isting law. This is as it should br. The British
Parliament will not abandon the proud position it has
assumed of high liberality and universal toleration.
Me. STUART WORTLEY must not, however, in any
degree relax his exertions. He has bold and unscru-
pulous adversaries, who will not hesitate as to the
means by which their objects may be achieved.
Every advantage that can be taken of the rules and
farms of the House, every species of Parliamentary
strategy will be resorted to in order to pro-
crastinate and retard the progress of the measure.
The Fabian policy must especially be guarded against,
and every attempt at delay must be strenuously and
vigorously resisted. The Hon. Member for Bute is
Placed in a position of no ordinary responsibility.
The future h3ppiness of thousands of his countrymen
and countrywomen depends on the result. The status
in society of tens of thousands of innocent children
is involved in the issue. His clients are numerous,
and the subject is indeed one of vital impor-
tance to them. He must reflect upon these un-
questionable facts, steel himself against the insidious
blandishments that may
be made use of, and reso-
lutely refuse any compromise. If he succeed, and
bring the matter entrusted to his charge to
a happy termination, great will be his glory, '
and he will he r 611 ai Lied with the praise
and blefir,gs of many faithful hearts. But
if he should fail, through any error or mistake
on his own part, the censure and reproach to which
he will be subjected will be of eqaal magnitude. We '
trust that this warnieg is unnecessary, and that the
measure will be passed with all convenient speed
through the popular branch of the Legislature, and
that it may be sent to the House of Peers with the
sanction of a majority at least as decisive as that
which yesterday affirmed its principle.
Nothing was, perhaps, more remarkable in the
debate than the complete absence of any of the
ordinary rules by which votes are influenced. Two I

" It is impossible to hear or read of the speculations
of the doctrinaire constitutionalists without recurring to
the history of our constitution. A leading feature of
that constitution is, that never for a quarter of a century
together has it remained the mule. For it is a very im-
perfect account of our system to define the functions of
our executive and the conjoint powers of our tripartite
legislature, and there leave the matter. Much of our
constitution is in the shape of actual statutes, much in
the traditions of common law—no little in the form of
ancient maxims. Altogether, its perfection has con-
sisted in its very variability—its adaptability to chang-
ing circumstances. It never was, like your modern con-
stitutional fabrics, a pre-arranged whole; but it has
always, excel t at precise periods of transition, been in
harmony with the social characteristics of the times.
Our barons of old were depositaries of real power bvfore
they came together as peers of the resew. When our
citizens grew bold and wealthy it was tune that they
should share in the legislation of the country. When it
became convenient tI e legislature separated into two;
and no one can doubt that the separation was followed
by special advantages, which, however, like so many of
our constitional benefits, grew up, and fulfilled no pro-
phecy. When the Crown would retain or revive ancient
powers which the growing intelligence of men voted
irksome or degrading, the prerogaires of royalty were
brought within safe limits. But that excellent' balancing'
supposed to exist in onr constitution can never be re-
ferred to the mere scheme itself. A British constitution,
without Britons, and the social combination of Britain,
might Rork very differently. The men and the ma-
chinery go together. In a royal power, a peerage,
and a third estate, there might be as much antagonism
as balancing—destructibility might be the characteristic
in place of durability. All that Re can say is, that
such a policy works well with us. It has come to
what we see it through a long history, by slow and
almost imperceptible gradations ; and the depositaries
of power, by wisely refraining from an extreme exercise
of formal rights, at the same time that they keep
them ready for use, I are preserved us at once free
and uurevolutionised."

Among the lighter articles there is nothing worth
especial notice; they will, doubtless, be found satis-
factory to those who read merely pour passerle temps.

UNITED SERVICE.
The first article in the United Service, " State
Trials in 1549, and Courts-Martial in 1849," contains
an ingenious parallel between the tyrannous practices
of three hundred years back, and the recent proceed-
ings at a court-martial "in the enlightened and
humane reign of Queen Victoria." Atiny stirring
narratives and interesting articles are contained in the
pages of this "journal.' ,
