MR. CANNING'S SPEECHES.

PR ICE 7D.

author's dramatic abilities, we may at least venture to
recommend his recollections as amusing. To a gentle.
man travelling alone in a post-chaise--to a single man
stuck solitary in the coffee-room of a miserable country
inn—or to an epicure anxious to pass over that dreary
lapse of time, the half hour before a hot dinner—to
each and all of these, we conscientiously advise their
perusal.

SACRED AND SERIOUS POETRY—Edinburgh sod Lon-
don, 1827. pp. MO.
When so much strict attention is devoted to selecting
the thousand various beautiful flowers of versewith which
our literature abounds, we think that. the,4eitioal
gleaner'who culls blossoms in'the richbut as yet al-
most untrodden—fields of religious poetry, deserves
very general commendation. The present publication
is peculiarly meritorious ;itis an attempt--anti a very
successful one—to bind together the scattered sheaves
of serious and religious sentiment, and thus afford a
wholesome food for the mind, as lasting as it is de-
lightful. Among other deserving fugitive pieces,
Graham's Sabbath is introduced, but as this Poem is
well known, at least in Scotland, and admired where-
ever it is read, we forbear presenting our readers with
extracts, which it is .more than probable they have
per Used before. We. may venture, however, on the
following exquisite gem, premising that it was the last
production of a highly gifted young Irish clergyman,
named Wolfe,--author of the well-known stirring
stanzas on the Death of Sir John Moore—who died
a few years since. To our minds the verses are as
truly and simply pathetic as any throughout the wide
compass of English Literature.
If I had thought thou eouldet have dhd,
I might not weep for thee;
But I forgot, when by thy side,
That thou couldst mortal be :
It never through my mind had past,
The time would e'er be o'er,
And I on thee should leak my last,
And thou shouldst smile uo more!
And still upon that face I look,
And think 'twill smile again ' •
And still the thought I will notbroolc,
That I must look in vain !
But when I speak—thou dost not say,
What thou ne'er West unsaid ;
And now I feel, as well I may,
Sweet Mary ! thou art dead!
If thou wouldst stay, e'en as thou art,
All cold and all serene--
I still might press thy silent heart,
And where thy smiles have been !
While e'en thy chill, bleak come I have,
Thou seemeat still mine own ;
But there I lay thee in thy grave—
And 1 am now alone !

I do not think, whereer thou art,
Thou hmit forgotten me;
And I, perhaps, may sooth this heart,
In thinking too of thee:
Yet there was round thee such a dawn
Of light ne'er seen before,
As fancy never could have drawn,
And never can restore !
We are no great friends to University Prize Poems;
we think that the institution of them is a Will-o'-the-
whisp, which leads many a youth astray, by tempting
him into the almost inaccessible domains of imagina-
tion. We think also that your thick-headed fellows
of Colleges, bard dry logicians or mathematicians,
long since past the age of sentiment, and who, even in
their youth scarcely knew a poem from a plum-plud-
ding ; we think that these (the judges of the Prizes),
arc perfectly, profoundly, and notoriously incompetent
to their tasks; still, notwithstanding such prejudices
we cannot help directing our reader's attention to a
few choice passages from the following Poem on
the restoration of Learning in the East, (from the pen
of the Right lion. Charles Grant), which gained
the Chancellor's medal at Cambridge : it is as far su-
perior to the general run of these rhymed article's as
Hyperion to a Satyr." The versification is founded
on the good old models of Pope and Dryden, but is
freer and less artificial than the first ; without possess.
ing either the carelessness or rugged inequalities of the
last—but the reader shall judge for himself.
Yes, it shall come! E'en now my eyes behold,
In distant view, the willed-for age unfold.
Lo, o'er the shadowy, days that roll between,
A wandring gleam foretells th' aecending scene;
Oh, doom'd victorious from thy Wounds to sue,
Dejected India, lift thy downcast eyes,
And mark the hour, whose faithful steps for thee
Through Time', read ranks bring on the jubilee .0
Roll back, ye crowded years, your think array,
Greet the glad hour, and give the triumph way.
Hail! First and Greatest, inexpressive maw,
Substantial Wisdom, God with God the acme!
Oh Light, which shades of Beret glory veil,
Oh human Essence, ruix'd with Godhead, hail !
Powers, Princedoms, Virtues, wait thy sovereign call,
And but for Thee exists this breathing all.
Then shake thy heavens, thou Mightiest, and descend,
While Truth and Peace thy radiant march attend._
With wearied hopes thy thousand empires groan,
Our aching eyes demand thy promised throne.
Oh cheer the realms from life and sunshire far !
Oh plant in Eastern skies thy sevenfold star !
Then, while transported' Asia kneels around,
With ancient arts and lung-lost glories crown'd,
Some happier Bard, on Ganges' margin laid,
Where playful bamboos weave their fretted shade,
Shall to the strings a loftier tone impart,
And pour in rapturous verge his flowing heart.
Statnp'd in immortal light on future days,
Through all the strain his coqutry's joys shall blare ;
The Sanscreet song be warm'd with heevenly fires,
And themes divine awake from Indian lyres.

The reader will observe with delight the uncom-
monly poetical character of the lines marked in Italics.
Before we conclude, we must not omit speaking in
high terms of praise of the spirited but brief criticisms
with which this valuable miscellany (only five and six-
pence in price) abounds. The prefatory remarks on
Graham, though somewhat too encomiastic, are
highly characteristics with this observation we con-
clude—" teinpus velum spumantia solvers coils."

The Lord Lieutenant has yielded to the memorial
of Magistrates in several Irish counties, fur continuing to IE4
