Ly. AUSTRIA, and the POPE. A Letter to

Mazzini has long been known to this er3untry as
leader and rallyine• point of that prescribed but en-
'ausiastic and intrepid band of patriots, who, under the
.L
Z4igiiation of " Young Italy," cc mpose a party devoted
the accomplishment of great social, political, and
i'ut'al reforms in the existing institutions of their noble
it unhappy country. He will be known to a still
gee portion of our countrymen as the refugee
e.gner especially selected by the confederates of the
ight Honourable" Secretary of State for the Home
Partnient, for their ingenious experiments on sear
ireltking and letter-larceny. It is impossible to do justice,
4.1"17 abstract, or citations, to this forcible, manly, and
4 me epistle ; but it is a singularly rare specimen of the
4rl,_t°u* eloquence with which a foreigner can manage to
id.'"lY the expression of his just indignation in
,Llftntic nglish. There are some noble passages in
"'ls letter-none more so than those which regard the
fuel and untimely fate visited by the relentless jealousy
the Austrian Government—the gallant, the lamenteditoTitars Bandiera—tempted, cheated, betrayed into the
it's of an unsparing despotism, but nurturing, with the
aotttlion of their young and noble blood—we trust. we

rad abroad the sacred shadow of its branches over all
Zovited Italy ! The following impassioned manifesto

SONGS, BALLADS, 6-c.
tk„Aeollection of little poems, fur the most part evincing
fOty of versification and a picturesque conception.
following fragment is a spirited little affair, and we
mit have been still better pleased with it, had the
Nuur correctly accentuated " Genoa" in the first line.
I,e
error is the more remarkable, as it does not occur in
ttb, sequent passage:—
" Ah, long may Genoa's maidens strain
Their tear-dimmed Eyes—."
tAGMENT OF A BALLAD ON THE BATTLE

OF CRECY.
Then forth Genoa's bowmen stept,
One bound each archer forward leapt
To daunt their island foes—
As when the storm's brief lull is o'er
Forth bursts the tempest's mighty roar
Their vrar-cry hoarsely rose.
' • They bound again—again their cry,
The shout of thousands, bursts on high
' . And rolls along the plain.
Ah, fools—they are not hearts of hare
- You rouse—in vain you rend the air
With shouts—you bound•in vain,
For many a banner must be ta'en,
And many a hauberk cleft in twain,
And many a knight must press the plain,
• , From earth no more to rise again,
Ere England quit the field.
Yon ranks are not the timid deer
Who fly the hunters' shouts—but here,
• At bay, stand those who know not fear,
'ho win them shall, I trove, pay dear,
For shattering axe and rending spear
Yon host full well can wield.
Hark I to that sound the crossbows' ring,
A thousand quarrels hurtling sing
Through air towards the foe—
There rose fair England's yeomen's cry—
A pace each archer steps—on high,
,•, Their arrows, whitening air, fast fly,
Like wintry drifts of snow—

But not, like flaky snow they fall—
• The shrieks of agony, and all
That meets the ear and eye,
Pierced brains and riven morions tell,
And breasts trarn-fixed, proclaim full well
• To meet them is to die.
Ah, long may Genoa's maidens strain
Their tear-dimmed eyes across the main
To catch their white-winged galleys—vain,
They sweep the deep no more—
Fast, fa.t they fall—on Crecy's plain

They slumber ne'er to wake again
Amongst the dying and the slain,
In dust and curdling gore.
Ah, long shall Genoa's matrons wail—
, Past falls, that deadly iron hail,
Death rides the clothyard shafts that sail,
Blood-thirsting, through the sky;
-Against that flight, that with no fail
Pours on, nor plate nor iron mail,
listekler nor helm, would aught avail ;
Well may the falling sigh
They ever left their own loved land

On reey's-Wory plain to stand,
For life-bought gold, to try
how well an English yeoman's hand
The tough yew-bow Ti ply;

I trow that ti-one for long that biast
01 death can face and live. See, fast
Their thousands crowd in flight ;
•
With hellish yells aLd wild uproar
And shriek and curse and groan they pour,
The trampled dead and dying o'er,
From out the bloody tight.
}lark to King Philip's wrathful shout,
s. Sweep from our path yon rascal rout,
The dastard rabble slay ;
St. Denial 'Tis our proper meed,
We might have known in hour of need
Such churls would flee the fray."
`The men at arms are in the throng,
The flying down are hewn,
Their trampling steeds they spur along,
The plain with dead is strewn ;
In vain they fly the death they dread,
They fly the foa in vain,
• thrted 'neath the chargers' iron tread,
Or by their riders slain.
