A VOICE FROM MARATHON.

The following magnificent burst is copied from the Tures. It is enough
to awake the dead, and is worthy of old Tyrueus—would the Greeks
but feel it! 3
0 for a voice, as loud as that of Fame,
To breathe the word—Arise!
From Pindus to Taygeust to proclaim—
Let every Greek arise!
Ye who haye hearts to strike a sinyle blow,
Hear my despairing cries !
Ye who have hands to immolate one foe,
Arise! arise! arise!
From the dim fields of Asphodel beneath,
Upborne by cloudy sighs
Of those who love their country still iu death,—
Ev'n /arise !
These are not hands for earthly-wringing—these !
Blood should nut blind these eyes !
Yet here I stand, untomb'd 111timanits, •
Weeping—arise! arise!
Hear ye the groans that heave this burial-field ?
Old Grtecia's saviour-baud
Cry from the dust—" Fight on! nor Dakr."to yield!
" Save ye our father-land!
" Blunt with your bosom the barbaric spear!
" Break it within your breast ;
" Then come, brave Greek ! and join your brothers here
" In our immortal rest !1'
Shall modern DATES, swoln with Syrian pride,
Cover the land with slaves?—
Ay—let them cover it, both far and wide,—
Cover it with their yraves
Much has been done—but more remains to do—
Ye have fought long and well!
The trump that on th' Egeau, glory blew,
Seared with a storm to swell!
Asia's grim tyrant shudder'd at the sound,
He leap'd upon his throne !
Munnued his horse-tail'd chieftainry around—
" Another Marathon 1"
Dodomi, 'mid her fanes and forests hoar,
Heard it with solemn glee :
And old Parnassus, with a lofty roar,
Told it from sea to sea !
High-bosom'd Greece thro' her unnumbered vales
Broke forth in glorious song!
Her classic streams that plough the headlong dales,
Thundeed the notes along !
But there's a bloodier wreath to gain, 0 friends,
Now ride, or ever fall !
If ye fight now no fiercer titan the fiends,
Better not tight at all!
The feverish war-drum mingles with tin the
In dismal symphony,
And Moslem strike at liberty and life,—
For both, strike harder ye!
Hark! how Cithceron with his earthquake voice
Calls to the utmost shores!
While Pluto barn, against the riving noise,
His adamantine doors !

Athenb, tiptoe ou her crumbling dome,
Cries—Youth, ye must be men !
And Echo shouts within her rocky tomb,—
Greeks, become Greeks again !
The stone, first brought, his living-tomb to close,
Patuaniate mother piled :
Matrons of Greece! wilt ye do lass for foes,
Than she did for her child ?
Let Boyhood strike !—Let every rank and age
Do each what each ran do!
Let him whose arm is mighty as his rage,
.Strike deep—strike home—strike thro'!
Be wise, he firm, be cautious, yet be bold !.
Be brother-true! be ONE!
1 teach but what the Phrygian taught of old—
Divide, and be undone I
Hallowed in life, in death itself, is he
Who for his country dies;
A light, a star, to all futurity—
Arise ye, then! arise!
0 countrymen! 0 countmen ! once more—
By earth—and seas—add skies—
By /ItaViti—by sacred Hades—timplore—
Arise! arise ! arise!

DEATH OF TILE RlO,wr HON. Loan RIIIIILES4,
nahE.—We are this week udder the painful necessity of announc-
ing the demise of this amiable and truly patriotic nobleman. He
died on the 22d inst. at his seat, Gisburne-park, near Skipton, in
Craven, in the 7211 year of hia age. - Lord Ribblesdale WAS born
on the 221 of March, 1752, and married, in 1789, Rebecca,
daughter of Joseph Fielding, Esq., of the kingdom of Ireland, by
Elizabeth, daughter of Christopher Jackson, of the county of Not-
tingham. By this marriage his Lordship had issue one son, the
Hon. Thomas Lister (now Lord Ribblesdale), born the 23d of
January, 1'790, and two daughters. During the American war,
he raised, at his own expense, a regiment of horse for the use of
Government, called Lister's Light Dragoons, and afterwards, at
the breaking out of the French Revolution, became Colonel of the
Craven Legion of Yeomanry Cavalry, which commission he re-
tained to his death. For these and other. important .services to
his country, coupled with his high and illustrious descent, his late
Majesty raised bins to the Peerage, on the 26th of October, 1797,
by the title of Baron Ribblesdale. It is needless to add, that his
Lordship's opinions were upon all questions, truly in accordance
I:
the e°lln-
with the principles of the Constitution, as settled in 1688, He
was a patron of the fine arts, and possessed a rideable collection
lof pictures at Giaburne Park, including some choice portraits—
! viz., one of General Lambert and one of Oliver Cromwell, by Sir
Peter Lely, said to be taken by the Protector'a own order, with
all the singular wars and protuberances. The possessions of this
noble Wilily on the borders of the river which giver origin to the
title, are by descent of extraordinary antiquity, haring been ac-
quired about 6th Edward lt., 1312, by the marriage of John,
son of Sir Thomas Lister, with Isabel, daughter and heiress of
John de Bolton, from which Thomas Lister, the present possessor,
is the lath, in lineal descent. The above Isabel, it is believed,
also was descended through the illustrious families of Clan', Gant,
and Roumare, from the old Saxon Earls of Mercia; Wm. de
Ronmare, one of the great Norman Barcus, having, after the Con,
quest, married Lucy, sister and heiress of Edwin, the last Earl,
as it is quoted by Sir William Dugdale in
and thereby possessing,

Hoax CosrusrE.--Over an under garment of India
muslin, of the most delicate texture, is worn au elegant •
deshabille robe of celestial blue, or of sea-green taffety, •
without sleeves. The body is made in the Cireassiart
style, and discovers that of the muslin dress underneath,
plaited en chemizette, with a quilling of thread-tulle nexlt
the throat : the sleeves are of white muslin, and fastened
at the wrists with broad bracelets, enriched with cameos
and valuable gems; there are no other ornaments on the
sleeves. A sash, the colour of the dress, is loosely tied on
the left side with a small bow and long ends. At the
border of the muslin petticoat, which is nearly a hand's-
breadth longer than the coloured robe, is a full rouleau of
muslin, wound round with a cordon of a novel kind, in
shining cotton. A roldeau of silk finishes also-the co-:
loured dress next the hem. An Oriental turban of crape
or sarcenet, the same tint as the outer robe, and discover-
ing but little of the hair, arranged in curls on each side of
the temples, constitutes the head-dress, with a narrow frill
of plaited tulle under the, chin.

SEA-SIDE DRESS.—This specimen of marine costume,
as it is the newest that has appeared, will, most likely, be
the last with which we shall present our readers this sea-
son. Though September commenced so drearily, some
warmer days succeeded, and we look forward to what, we
denominate the Indian summer in October, for some of

those genial days which may render such a style of dress
appropriate.
Notwithstanding the seeming, lightness of this costume
for the declining season of the year, the, gown is certainly
of the demi-liaison kind ; and the, muslin pelerine worn
with it—an article too warm for suinmer found
quite a sufficient out-door-covering in the mild days of the
autumnal season.

The dress is of grns de Naples, of a pale pink, with very

_
narrow dark brown stripes, and is ornamented at the bor-
der with three flounces : the body is made eloie to the
shape, with clear white muslin sleeves, en gigot, sur-
mounted by mandierons, with a double trimming of lace
at the edges; the sleeves confined at the wrists with
bracelets ornamented with cameos. A pelerine tippet of
muslin, with long ends, is trimmed all round with lace,
with a double colerette ornamented in the same manner,
and fastened in front with a bow of coloured ribbon. The
hat is either of Leghorn or white gros de Naples, and is
ornamented with pink sarsnet, and large .double garden
poppies, of a pale pink.—A parasol, of the lightest shade
of sea-green, is generally adopted with this dress.

AGRICULTURAL' REPORT for SEPTEMBER.

The wheat crop, on rich or moist and well-tilled soils, is
not only one of the largest usual acretible produce, bittpluinp
in kernel mid fine in quality; on soils of inferior descrip-
tion, cold or arid, and poor, though the quantity be yet
considerable, the grain is small and flinty, or long, and likely
to make plenty of bran. All being dry, will weigh well
in proportion, the superior capitally. In some of the nor-
thern counties, there is more than the usual quantity of
smut in the wheat. We doubt. not that such a crop of
wheat as this, aided by one equally good of potatoes, Would
feed Britain and Ireland during two years. Potatoes,
barley, oats, and even peas, it may be hoped, will prove
beyond expectation. On the fine barley soils, there is
nearly, if not fully, an average crop, the quality superior.
Of outs, nearly the same, but to a less extent. There are
even, but they do not abound, satisfactory crops of peas ;
but the beans, with few exceptions, are of low and bad re-
port—to wit, many were planted, none gathered. Straw
fodder abounds, or is deficient, on the different soils above
described. There was a crop of grass on rich gra-
minous soils, and on boggy lands a large growth of unusual
good quality. Much grass was left for late mowing, and
on the whole the weather has been favourable. As to the
crop of Hops, whether with respect to quantity or quality,
that of the year 26, it seems, is to stand red-lettered in
the calendar.

The harvest, perhaps the quickest, safest, and least ex=
pensive within inemory,bbas, in coarse, afforded the longest
interval between that and wheat sowing; which, from the
arid state of those lands where the process usually takes
place the earliest, will on those be considerably tater than
usual. The-interval has been one of great business, since
the rains have been sufficient and effective; ploughing, and
the lands work most kindly, sowing turnips and grasses
on the stubbles, also rape,'rye, and all the usual crops for
winter and spring food. Stock farmers, aware of the pro.
bable or certain,exigencies of the 'ensuing seasons, are ex-
erting themselves with the utmost diligence in provi-
dent course. For a spring supply there is.little fear, but
should the
.autumn prove unfavourable, the late sown tur-
nips will scarcely repay the expense. ! •
