ROBERT SOUTHEY'S BROTHEB.—" An uncomplain-
ing, broken hearted, pale, emaciated, withered man,
called Edward Southey, the true and lawful brother of
the great poet," says a Correspondent of the Bristol
_Mirror, " is starving in London ; a gentleman by birth
and family, and a scholar by education. I wish to give
no offence to the lovers of Southey's writings, among
whom I rank myself ; but as the Laureate, by his ad-
mitted economy, amassed sufficient wealth to enable him
to administer to the wants of a brother poet's wife and
son, is it not surprising that such a noble feeling has not
been extended to a suffering brother by birth?"
A post-office is about to be established at the
Stocksfield station, on the Newcastle and Carjisle
Railway.
