TO ALFRED TENNYSON, ESQ.
THE NEW POET LAUREATE.
Call me not rade, my literary brother:
One poet, surely, may aidress another.
We both may claim the self-same litense—mayn't we ?
And both are on an equal footing—Milt we ?
You're made the Laureate - so the papers tell ns—
And really, Alf, I can't help feeling jealous.
It plagues me much, in fact, and I have fretted
Since first your said promotion was gazetted.
For this appointment I've been long a craver,
Although I know that " kissing goes by favour."
But you're " appointed," I am " disappointed,"
And feel my nasal organ quite unjointed.
Yet never mind— no matter who opposes,
Or who supports—l'm still the bard of MOSES;
Yes, I'm the trading Laureate of the day,
And, pardon me, that's more than you can say.
While you are basy with your birth-day odes,
I'll sing of dress and MOSES' matchless modes.
I still will praise the cloth of M. and. SON,
In spite of your " Green Bays"—excuse the pun.
I feel I'm honoured when I strike the lyre
For MOSES' Mart, and its superb attire ;
Nor would I cease to be the bard of MOSES
For all your task of' penning palace posies.
But should I get the sack, as some scribes do,
MOSES, I hope, will give the berth to you.

burgh, Licentiate of Apothecaries' Hall, London, Honorary Member

This work contains an accurate and complete account of the
Anatomy and Physiology of the Reproductive Organs. It un-
:ertunately happens that the unhappy victim of excessive indul-
gence and vicious habits, while suffering from their invariable con-
sequences, unwisely entertains a fear of applying to a qualified physi-
cian for ,relief. S'hame and the dread so frequently, but erro-
neously entertained that these complaints are beyond the reach of
art, alike' restrict him and prevent his seeking. for assistance where
alone it can be procured. Dr. LA'AftliT has taken the highest
medical honours, as his oliplemas testify, and the great extent of his
'practice for many years is a guarantee for his, professional experi-
ence, which has reference almost solely to the treatment of these
diseases.

The acknowledged efficacy of BLAIR'S GOUT and RHEU-

been sent to and published by the proprietor for nearly twenty years,
has rendered this medicine the most popular of the present age ; and
in corroboration of which the following extract of a letter, written
by John Mollard Wheeler, Collector of Customs, Jamaica, hav-
iwr been handed by his brother, at Swindon, to Mr. Front for publi-
cation, will fully confirm.
" I know you have never had occasion to take Blair's Pills. but
let me emphatically tell you, in mercyto any fri2nd who may suffer
from goat, rheumatic gout, lumbago, sciatica, rheumatism, or any
branch of that widely-allied family, to recommend their using them.
In this country they are of wonderful efficacy : not only am I person-
ally aware of their powers,' but I see my friends and aeon:, intances'
receiving unfailing benefit from their use. I would not be without
them on any account. If taken in the early stage of disease they
dissipate it altogether ; if in a later, they alleviate pain and effect a
much speedier cure than by any other means within my knowledge."

THE EARL of CARLISLE at LEEDS

(From the Chronicle.) •
IxEns, FRIDAY.—The second lecture announced for
delivery by the Earl of Carliare lvtis deliiired in the'
Music-hall to-night. As the subject of the lecture was
to embrace his Lordship's recollections of his travels
through the United States and Canada in 1841-2, the
interest excited among the townspeople was more intense,
and the demand for tickets more numerous and more
pressing than even on the former evening. And, though
the restrictions remained as before, yet the Music-hall
was perceptibly fuller to-night. The orchestra, even
where the more distinguished guests were accommodated,
was much and inconveniently crowded, while to those
who were standing in the body of the ball, the pressure
and discomfort must have been very :great. No one
would have imagined, however, that any inconvenience
was felt by them, as they listened with the most
fixed attention, moved only by frequent bursts of ap-
plause through the two-and-a-half hours that this lec-
ture lasted, as well as during the remaining half hour
that was taken up in passing a vote of thanks to his
Lordship. Notwithstanding this, the defect of the to*n
in not having a hall fit to accommodate such an audience
as was brought together has been the subject of gene-
ral conversation. It seems probable that Leeds will not
much longer be behind Birmingham and Manchester in
having a hall where the great body of the citizens can
assemble.

The company to-night was nearly the same as last
night. There were—the Mayor ; Mr. Beckett, M.P.;
the Dean of Ripon; Mr. William Beckett Denison; Al.
dermen Sidney and Hunter, of London; Mr. Bowes,
President of the Yorkshire Union of Mechanics' Insti-
tutes; Mr. Wilson, the Chairman of the Leeds Institu-
tion; and several ladies. His Lordship, on entering the
room, was received with general applause, and imme-
diately commenced the lecture.

It may be known to some of those whom I have the
pleasure to see around me, that when circumstances to
which I need not further allude, occasioned a breach,
temporary, indeed, and soon repaired, in my connexion
with the West Riding of Yorkshire—when, as the phrase,
was, some of your neighbours, and probably of your-
selves, had given me leave to go upon my travels, I
thought I could make no better use or this involuntary
leisure than by acquiring some personal knowledge of
the United States of America. I accordingly embarked,
in the autumn of the year 1841, and spent about one
whole year in North America, having within that period
passed nearly over the length and breadth of the Re-
public, trod at least the soil of twenty-two out of the
twenty-six States of which the Union was then com-
posed, and paid short visits to the Queen's dominions in
Canada, and to the Island of Cuba. I determined to
keep a journal during my travels, and only at the
end of them to decide what should become of it
when it was completed. I found it was written
in too hurried and desultory a manner, and was too
much confined to my own daily proceedings, to make
it of interest to the public at large ; still more
strongly I felt that, after having been received with
uniform civility and attention, nay, I may say, with
real warmth and openness cf heart, I should not wish,
even where I had nothing but what was most favourable
to c tmotiunic ate, immediately to exhibit myself as an in-
quisitive observer of the interior life to which I had
been admitted; and this very feeling would prJba!dy
have dhqualitie.l me for the office of an impartial critic.
Now, however, that above eight years have elapsed since
my return, in turning over the pages then written, it has
seemed to me allowable to endeavour, for a purpose like
the present, to convey a few of the leading impressions
which I derived from the surface of nature and society as
they exhibited themselves in the new world. It must
follow necessarily, from such limits as could be allowed
to me on an occasion of this kind, that any account
which I can put together from materials so vast and so
crowded, must be the merest superficial skimming of the
subject that can be c onceived; all I can answer for is
that it shall be faithful to the feelings excited at the
moment, and perfectly honest as far as it goes. I
must premise ono point with reference to what I have
just now glanced at—the use of individual names. I
came in contact with several of the public men—the his-
torical men they will be—of the American Republic. I
hall think myself at liberty occasionally to depart in their
instance from the rule of strict abstinence which I have
otherwise prescribed to myself, and to treat them as
public property, so long as I say nothing to their dis-
advantage. It was on the 21st of October, upon a bright
crisp morning, that the Columbia, steam-packet, upon
which I was a passenger, turned the lighthouse outside
the harbour of Boston. The whole effect of the scene
was cheerful and pleasing; the bay is studded with
small islands bare of trees, but generally crowned with
some sparkling white building—frequently some public
establishment. [Lord Carlisle here described his ar-
rival at Boston, end his fiat impressions of that city.]
These aro some of my external recollections of Boston;
but there are some fonder still, of the most refined and
animated social intercourse—of hospitalities which it
seemed impossible to exhaust—of friendships which I
trust can never be effaced. Boston appears to me, eters
tainly on the whole, the American town in which an
Englishman of cultivated and literary tastes or philan
thrupie pursuits, would feel himself most at home.
The residence here was rendered peculiarly agreeable
to me by a friendship with one of its inhabitants, which
had previously made in England; he hardly yet
comes within my rule of exception, but I do not
give up the notion of his becoming one of the historical
teen of his country. However, it is quite open
fur me to mention some of those with Ceara,
mainly through his introduction, I here became ac-
quainted. There was one Mr. Justice Storey, whose
reputation and authority as a commentator and ex-
pounder of law stands high wherever law is known or
honored, and who was, what at least is more generally
attractive, one of the most generous and single-hearten
of men. He was an enthusiastic admirer of his country,
especially of its lawyers; how be would kindle up ants
flow on if he touched upon Lord Hardwick or Lord
Mansfield—" Sir," as an American always begins, " on
the prairies of Illinois this day Lord Mansfield admi-
nisters the law of commerce." He had also a very ex-
alted opinion of the judgments of Lord Stowell, which
his own studies and practice have led him thoroughly
to appreciate; and I may permit myself to say that he
had formed a high estimate of the judicial powers of
Lord Cottenham. I must admit one thing--when he
was in the room few others could get in a word; but it
was impossible to resent this, for be talked evidently
not to bear down others, but because he could not help
it. There was Dr. Channing. I could not hear him
preach, as his physical powers were nearly exhausted;
but on one or two occasions I was admitted to his
house. You found a fragile frame, and a dry manner,
but you soon felt that you were in a presence
in which nothing that was impure, base, or selfish
could breath at ease. These, alas! have since
my visit been taken away. In the more
immediate department of letters there are happily seve-
ral who yet remain—Mr. Bancroft, the able aud!mcom-
plished historian of his own country—Mr. Tricknor.
who has displayed the resources of a well-stored and
accomplished mind in his recent work on the literature
of Spain—Mt. Longfellow, with
.whose feeling and
graceful poetry many must be acquainted--Mr. Emer-
son, who has been heard and admired in this country—
and I crown my list with Mr. Prescott, the historian of
Ferdinand and Isabella, of Mexico and of Peru, with
respect to whom, during the visit he paid to England
during the past summer, I had the satisfaction of wit-
nessing how all that was most eminent in this country
confirmed the high estimate I had myself formed of his
head, and the higher one of his heart. The public in-
stitutions of Boston are admirably conducted. The
public, or common schools there, as I believe in New
are supported by a general rate, to
England generally,
which all contribute and all may profit by. I am not
naturally now disposei to discuss the question how .ar
this system would hear being transplanted and engrafted
on our polity, but
it would b e nncandid if I did not state
that the universality of the instruction, and the excellence
of v;hai, fell wider coy owa observation, presented to racy
mind some mortifying poicts of centrast with what we
hove hitherto efroct-d horns. B.fore I le`l7t, Beston.
let me add one ob=ervatkn on a lighter topic. I lodged
at the Tr..-m Pot lintel, which was admirably conducted,
like very many of those imposing establishments in the
chief cities of the Union. Here I learnt that ono is apt
to receive false impressions at first. I was struck with
the clean, orderly, agile appearance of the waiters.
" The Americans beat us hollow in waiters," was my
inner thought. On inquiring I found that of the twenty-
five waiters in the house, four were English and_twenty-
one Irish. I could not help wishing that a large number
of the Irish might come and be waiters for a little while.
Within three or four days of my landing I grew impa-
tient to see the Falls of INTltgaro without loss of time; if

any sudden. event should have summoned me home, I
felt bow much I should have grudged crossing the At-
lantic without having been at Niagara, and also wished
to look upon the autumn tints of the American Forest
before the leaves, already beginning to fall, bad entirely
disappeared. [The speaker here recounted his travels
by railway to _albany, adding a brief notice of that town,
end quoted the following passage from his diary, con-
taining his first impression of the forest towns:—]
" The moment is not come for me yet, if it ever
should come, to make me feel myself warranted in form-
ing speculations upon far results, upon guarantees for
future endurance and stability ; all that I can now do is
to look and to marvel at what is before my eyes. Ido
not think I am deficient in relish for antiquity and as-
sociation ; I know that I am English, not in a pig-
headed adesion to everything there, but in heart to its
last throb. Yet I cannot be unmoved or callous to the
soaring of young America, in such legitimate and lau-
dable directions too ; and I feel that it is already not
the least bright, and may be the most enduring title of
my country to the homage of mankind, that she has pro-
duced such a people. May God employ them both for
his own high glory,"
I am bound here in candour to state that I think what
I first saw in America was, with little exception, the
best of its kind ; such was the society of
Boston—such was the energy of progress in the
western portion of the State of New York. f Demi
Carlisle here alluded to some other places through which
he passed prior to his arrival at Niagara.] When I
arrived at the hotel, the Cataract Meuse, I would not
anticipate by any moonlight glimpses the full disclo-
sures of the coming day, but reserve my first visit for
the cleat light and freshened feelings of the morning. I
staid five days at Niagara on that occasion; I visited it
again twice, having travelled several thousands of miles
in each interval. I have thus looked upon it in the late
autumn, in the early spring, and in the full summer.
Mrs. Butler, in her.charming work on America, when
she comes to Niagara, says only, " Who can describe
that sight?" and, with these words, finishes her book.
There is not merely the difficulty of finding adequate
words, but there is a simplicity and absence, as I should
say, of incidents in the scenery, or at least so entire a
subordination of them to the main great spectacle, that
attempts at description would seem inapplicable as well
as impotent. I have undertaken, however, the endea-
vour, though so inadequately, to place before you the
impressions which I actually derived from the most
prominent objects that I saw in America. Sow, then,
can I wholly omit Niagara? The first view neither in
the least disappointed or surprised, but it wholly satis-
fied me. I felt it to be complete, and that nothing could
go beyond it; volume, majesty, might, are the first idea
which it conveys: on nearer and more familiar inspec-
tion, I appreciated other attributes and beauties—the
emerald crest—the seas of spray—the rainbow wreaths.
Pictures and panoramas had given me a correct appre-
hension of the form and outline; but they fail, for the
same reason as language would, to impart an idea of the
whole effect, which is not picturesque, though it is sub-
lime. There is also the technical drawback in painting,
of the continuous mass of white, and the lino of the
summit of the Fall is as smooth and even as a common
mill-dam. Do not imagine, however, that the effect
could be improved by being more picturesque; just as
there are several trivial and unsightly buildings on the
banks, but Niagara can be no more spoiled than it
can be improved. You would, when on the spot, no more
think of complaining that Niagara was not pic-
turesque, than you would remark in the shock
and clang of battle that a trumpet sounded out of
tune. Livirg at Niagara was not like ordinary life; its
not over loud, but constant solemn roar, has in itself a
mysterious sound; is not the highest Voice to which the
universe can ever listen, compared by inspiration to the
sound of many waters? The whole of existeoce there
has a dreamy but not a frivolous impulse; you feel that
you are not in the common world, but in its sublimest
temple. I naturally left such a place and such a life
with keen regret, but I was already the last visitor of
the year, and the hotels were about to close. On my
going back, I paid two visits at country houses, one to
an old gentleman, Mr. Wadsworth, most distinguished
in appearance, manner, and understanding, who had set-
tled where I found him fifty years before, when he had
not a white neighbour within thirty miles, or a flour mill
within fifty ; he lived entirely surrounded by Indians,
who have now disappeared. On some occasion there
had been a review of a corps of militia. A neigh-
bouring Indian Chief had been present, and was ob-
served to be very dejected. Mr. Wadsworth went up
to him, offered refreshment, which was usually very ac-
ceptable, but he declined it. Upon being pressed to
say what was the matter, he answered with a deep
sigh, pointing to the east, " You are the rising sun;"
then to the west, "We are the setting." The face
of the country is now indeed changed; a small flourish.
ing town, the capital of the country, stretches from the
eate; and the house overlooks ono of the widest and
best cultivated tracts in America. the valley of the Gen-
nessee. My other visit was to Mr. Van Buren, who had
been the last President of the United States, and who,
I suspect, shrewdly reckoned on being the next. It
seemed, indeed, at that time, to be the goneral expecta-
ri.n among his own, the Demicratic, or, as they were
then commonlyecalled, the Loco-loco party. Ile was at
that time living on his farm of Kinderback; the house
wns modest and extremely well ordered, and nothing
could exceed the courtesy or fuleess of his conversation.
He was full of anecdotes of all the public men of his
country. In his dining-room were pictures of Jeffersen
and General Jackson, the great objects of his political
devotion. [His Lo, dship then traced his route down the
Hudson to New Yolk, where he took up his winter
quarters.] I thought this, the commercial and fashion-
able, though not the political capital of the Union, a
very brilliant city. To give the best idea of it, I should
describe it as something of a fusion between Liverpool and
Paris—crowded quays, long perspectives of vessels and
masts, bustling streets, gay shops, tall white houses, and
a clear brilliant sky overhead. There is an absence of
solidity in the general appearance, but in some of the
new buildings they were successfully availing them-
selves of their ample resources in white marble and
granite. At the point of the battery where the long
thoroughfare of Broadway, extending some miles,
pushes its green fringe into the wide harbour of New
York, with its glancing waters and graceful shipping,
and the limber, long raking masts, which look so dif-
ferent from our own, and the soft swelling outline of
the receding shores, ithas a special character and beauty
of its own. I spent about a month here very pleasantly,
the society appeared to me on the whole to have a less
solid and really refined character than that of Boston,
but there is more of animation, gaiety, and sparkle in
the daily life. In point of hospitality, neither could
outdo the other. Keeping to my rule of only men-
tioning names which already belong to fame, I may

_ . . . .
thus distinguish the late Chancellor Kent, whose com-
mentaries are well known to professional readers. He
had been obliged, by what I think the very unwise
law of the state of New York, to retire from his high
legal office at the premature ego of sixty, and there
I found him, at seventy-eight, full of anima-
tion and racy vigour, which, combined with great sim-
plicity, made his conversation most agreeable: Wash-
ington Irving, a well-known name both to American
and English ears, whose nature appears as gentle and
eenial as his works—l cannot well give higher praise:
Mr. Bryant, in high repute as a poet, and others. In no
part of the world have I ever seen places of refreshment
so attractive—every one seems to eat oysters all day
long. What signifies more, the public institutions and
schools are there also extremely well conducted. The
churches of the different denominations are very nume-
rous and well filled. It is my wish to touch very
lightly upon any point which among us, among even
some of' us now here, may be matter of controversy; I,
however, honestly think that the experience of the United
States does not as yet enable them to decide on either
side the argument between the Established and volun-
tary systems in religion; take the towns by themselves,
and I think the voluntary principle appears fully ade-
quate to satisfy all religious exigencies; then it must be
remembered that the class which makes the main diffi-
culty elsewhere, scarcely, if at all, exists in America; it is
the blessed privilege of the United States, and it is one
which goes very far to counterbalance any drawbacks at
which I may nave to hint, that they really have not, as a
class, any poor among them. A real beggar is what you
never see. On the other hand, over their immense tract.
of territory, the voluntary system has not sufficed to pro-
duce sufficient religious accommodation; it may, how-
ever, be truly questioned whether any establishment
would be equal to that function. This is, however, one
among the many questions which the republican experi-
ence of America has not yet solved. As matters stand
at present, indifference to religion cannot be fairly laid
to her charge; probably religious extremes are pushed
farther than elsewhere; there certainly is a breadth
and universality of religious liberty which I do not
regard without some degree of envy.—(Applause.)
Upon my progress southward, I made a comparatively
short halt at Philadelphia. This fair city has not the
animation of New York, but it is eminently wall-built,
neat and clean beyond parallel. The streets are all at
right-angles with each other, and bear the names of
the different trees of the country; the houses are of red
brick, and mostly have white marble steps and silver
knockers, all looking bright and shining under the effect
of copious and perpetual washing. It still looks like
a town constructed by Quakers, who were its original
founders; but by Quakers who have become rather dan-
dified. [Lord Carlisle then briefly alluded to seme ott,er
ohjeces in Philadelphia which attracted his nutici. ;
amongst others the waterwork., the model prison. tend
the costly poerhense.3 My next brief pause was ,at
Baltimore. At a halt on the road on the way thither,
I heard a conductor or guard say to a negro, " I cannot
let you go, for you ere a slave." This was my first in-
timation that I had crossed the border which divid, s

myself some little vent. It was a subject which I
