PROM THE NETuoroctvAN.
Tis night's uneouded noon.
And like an orb of blood,
Ascends the tranquil moon,
Out of the ocean Ilood
stretch'd cold along the shore
Unwaking warriors lie,
Who shall be roused no more
To victory'
Where now ambition's ray,—
The illusion they pursued?
They see it not, while they
Sleep in red solitude,
The sleep that bath no dream,
The night that bath no morn,
Festering beneath the moonlight beam
In reason's scorn !
Where are they now, with all
For which sosoon fifty died'
The old tree green and tall
Counts ages pass'd with pride ;
Runs its allotted years
In timely due decay,
Among its hoary peers
All venerably !
As if life were a thing

So light and easy ;on,
That a mere, dry teats rustling
Might price ha 'vintner sun ;
They fling the gift away
They never can resume.: '
And with &mirage foolishly
Purchase a tom► !

Go, then, ambition's race !
Go, slaves of phantom-glory !
Myriads that have no place
Not ev'n in lying story :
Except in freedom's cause
I'll game not life away :
Content with nature's law,
I'll bide my day !

Lie there! forgotten men,

Until to-morrow's dawn ;
Lle there ! ye ne'er again

Can put your lives in pawn
For despot knave'. doll play,
Who gave your blood for alr !
In premature decay.
Le there, He there!

LITERATURE AND SCIENCE.

The other two cases are these ; In the one, A.
would have received about 1701. more, upon a
work of comparatively small price—but, as it hap-
pened, of extensive sale : and in the other, B.
would have been better off by nearly 3001. These
are facts which nothing can gainsay except that
which is merely gratuitons assumption,—namely,
the impracticability of the proposed undertaking.
Grant that what is intended can be done, (and it
is for those who deny it can, to prove the thing
they deny,) and who will question its real value
and importance to every man who derives his means
of living from the employment of his pen ?
But we have yet shown the advantages of the
" Association" only, as they affect works which
are destined to no longer popularity than is con-
ferred by a first, or single, edition. It rarely hap-
pens, in contracts between an author and a book-
seller, that any condition is included which defines
the interest of the former in the contingent
benefits of a second, or more, editions. When,
indeed, an author has acquired a name, when
there is a tolerable certainty that whatever is an-
nounced from his pen will command a given sale,
a sort of security may be taken by him that be
shall derive an additional profit from such sale.—
But generally, and always in the commencement
of an author's career, whatever be gets beyond the
stipulated price for the copyright in the first in-
stance, he must receive, cap in hand, as a do-
native, as an act of generosity, from the bibliopo-
list. Authors may be an irritable, but assuredly
they are not a sordid, grasping, or calculating race.
There are few who would not shrink from the im-
plied vanity and self-conceit of an explicit bargain
for what they were to receive from the second,
third, and fourth editions of a work yet in MS. or,
who would not sink under the sarcastic, in-
credulous smile of the bookseller, to whom
such sanguine hopes of success were ex-
pressed. Hence, as we have said and with the
exceptions we have mentioned, whatever be re-
ceives beyond the first price paid for the copyright
comes to him in the shape of a gift from the muni-
ficence of his publisher. But not such his condi-
tion, if he publishes with the " Association," as he
will see by the following Regulation :
" 9. Should other editions of a work be called
for, they shall be published on the same terms, (i. e.
as the first edition), but with this proviso, viz. that
after closing the account of the first, or any subse-
quent edition, the author shall have the privilege
of purchasing back the copyright of his work, at a
price to be fixed by the committee, upon a fair
calculation of the proceeds ; and in accordance
with the fixed principles of the Association ; no
such privilege being claimed, the copyright to be-
come the property of the Association."
Such are the pounds, shillings, and pence fea-
tures of this plan ; and again we say, if it be not
a chimerical one, if it be not incapable of prac-
tice, if it be not palpably, and of necessity, a wild
absurdity, let any one who has ever written a book
and found a publisher, ask himself, whatever have
been his gains, whether they would not have
been doubled, trebled, or quadrupled, had there
existed au " Association for the Encouragement
of literature to pay them? The principle holds
good, whether forty, four hundred, or four thou-
sand pounds have been paid for copyrights; for
more than a bookseller can afford to give, who has
all the risks of trade to weigh in his dealings, must
find its way into the author's pocket, where there
are no risks to calculate. Take the case of an au-
thor whose celebrity is so great, that a bookseller
unhesitatingly gives him the highest of any sum
'we have ewer heard named as being given for a
'work. Why does the bookseller give this price?
Because he knows the work is worth it; that is,
he knows he shall sell enough copies to replace the
principal and yield a vary sufficiept surplus. The
expected sale is his only guide in the bargain he
makes ; and what will the same sale do for the au-
thor, whose work is published by the " Associa-
tion ?" The only class of authors who will not be
benefited by this Association are bad ones, writers
whose lucubrations the public will not buy. Such
authors there are, we admit; and what may seem
wonderful, they often find publishers, who must,
of course, if they do not succeed in " puffing off"
an edition, make the profits of good pay for the
losses of bad works.—Metroditin.

Tun ERECTION OF ST. LoUNSTA2.I.B CLOCK.
—Yosterday the workmen who have been ao long engaged
be building a suitable plate for the reception of ilt-Dunstan's
dock, at the Marquis of Hatford'a noble mansion in the
Regent's-park, completed their undertaking, and that ancient
piece of workmanahtp is now re-erected, under a superb roof
of architecture, adjoining the spacious ball-room. The clock
fronts the east, and is raised 10 feet from the level of the
lawn, and can only be viewed by passengers at a distance
from the mansion; on a nearer approach to it, it is obscured
by the numerous shrubberies which surround the Noble
Marquis's residence. The building alone cost nearly 1,0001.
and adds another superb ornament to the noble and extensive
mansion.
DREADFUL ACCIDENT ON BOARD A STEAM
VESSEL. —On Monday evening an accident oc-
curred on board the new steam packet London
Merchant, recently launched for the Rotterdam
trade. She was returning from an experimental
voyage to the bore, with a select party of ladies
and gentlemen, when Captain John Slater, the
Master of the vessel, who had previously com-
plained of fatigue, sat down on a seat alongside
the engine-room hatchway to rest himself, and it
appears was about io lean his head on his hand,
when he slipped, and was precipitated bead fore-
most amongst the machinery then in full play.
An exclamation of horror burst forth from the
company on deck ; the engine was instantly
stopped ; but before the unfortunate man could
be 'extricated his body was lacerated in a dreadful
manner, and both legs were broken. Several
medical gentlemen on board afforded him every as-
sistance in their power, but he was beyond the
reach of human aid ; and after lingering in great
agony for about two hours, death put an end to his
sufferings. The unfortunate deceased, who was
highly and deservedly respected, was for many
years in command of the King of the Nether-
lands, Rotterdam steamer, and has left a wife and
five children to deplore his dreadful fate.

ASSOCIATION FOR THE ENCOURAGEMENT
OF LITERATURE.
If it were sufficient evidence of the futility of a
scheme, that something may be said, and plausibly
enough too, against it ; most assuredly there does
not now exist any benefit in the political, moral, or
scientific world, which has not been (while it was
a project merely) in that predicament. Mankind,
indeed, seem to be divided into two classes only,
where improvement is concerned; they who con-
trive methods for bettering our condition, and they
whose method it is to contrive objections. What
ridicule was heaped upon the Royal Society when
it was first established ! and what opposition, grave
or jocose, has been levelled at the first proposal of
every innovation, from steam-engines and macada-
mized roads to gas-lights and the new police!
It is not surprising, therefore, that the " Asso-
ciation for the Encouragement of Literature"
(being as yet a project only, and in its infancy,)
should have bad its share of this common destiny.
The wonder would have been, had it escaped.
We are not at all inclined, however, to enter
into a controversy upon the merits of its plan. It
will be doing the " Association" better service,
and literary men better service, to elucidate its ad-
vantages, than to exhibit with what facility we can
make stupid ridicule recoil upon itself, or convict
sophistry of flimsy misrepresentation.
As it is probable that many of our readers may
be unacquainted with the objects of this " Associ-
ation," and with the manner in which it is intend-
ed to carry those objects into effect, our first task
shall be succinctly to put them in possession of
this necessary information.
The Association, then, is instituted for the sole
purpose of publishing works of merit, upon a prin-
ciple which shall secure to the writers of them a
profitable interest in their success; that is, that in
proportion to the sale of a work, shall be the pecu-
niaty advantage of the sale to the author. To se •
tore this result, the Association prescribes to itself
these two principles :-Ist. " The disavowal of all
personal profit on the part of its members." 2nd.
" The benefit of the author."
Th?..se are the objects of the Association. The
following is the manner in which they are to be
accomplished.
"The account of every work published by the
Association shall be made up within six mouths,
(or u soon after as may be practicable,) from the
time of publication ; and the proceeds shall be al-
lotted, in conformity with the principles above spe-
cified, in the following manner :
" First.—The actual expenses of publication shall be
discharged.
"Second.—The amount of remuneration shall be awarded
and paid to the author as soon as possible, in the following
ratio, viz.
Out of the first hundred pounds surplus balance, 60 per cent.
Out of the second do. do. 66 do.
Out of the third do. do. 75 do.
Out of all sums exceeding 3001. do. 90 do.
"Third.—The remainder shall be carried to the account of
the Association."
Now, unless they who are opposed to this
scheme, can prove, or show reasonable grounds
for believing that it is impracticable, that it aims
at something which it is impossible to achieve, we
ask, at the outset, is it open to any other valid ob-
jection ? On the other hand, is there any thing
in the proposal thus stated, so chimerical, so
Quixotic, so visionary, that it carries with it a
pined facie condemnation ? Is the printing of
hooks, or the publishing of books, or the selling of
books, or the receiving of money for books when
sold, such a mystery,such an occult or incommuni-
cable process, that none but booksellers can under-
stand it? Truth to say, we strongly suspect the only
mystery, the only secret in the business, is that
mystery, or secret, by which it has hitherto been
contrived that books should be printed, published,
sold, and the money received, for the least possible
benefit to those who wrote them.
We are enabled to state one personal fact, and
two others, which though riot personal we know to
be equally authentic, that will clearly demonstrate
the solid advantages to literary men of this associa- '
tion ; assuming, as we have a right to do, that there
is nothing which should prevent it from acting up
to its professed intentions.
The writer of this article bas been guilty of the
crime of authorship within the last twelve months
..- guilty , to the extent of inditing three goodly
volumes. He bad his own price for them from
the bookseller ; therefore he has nothing to com-
plain of. The v ork sold well. The public, there-
hie, as I:e indubitatly thinks, showed its good
ust,te and discernnunt. Let mark how his pocket

PANORAMA OF THE BRITISH
EMPIRE.

BLACKBURN GAZETTE, July M.
Itzsessitsrariiter or Mawaressza.- A meeting
of gentlemen, of various political otclnines, was held et the
York Hotel, a few days ago, to take into consideration the
" expecedted" repeessotstion of Manchester. Nothing was
resolv upon, but there was a disposition on the part of
moms gentlemen to bring forward Mr. Stanley as " a fit and
Prow person" to represent this town ,• and others showed an
inclinetioa w worse a Mr. G. W. Wood foe the
of the right bonoutable gentleman. The latter su=
however, was received very coolly.
It is proposed to erect a public monument, in Liverpool,
to the late Mr. Roscoe.
Liezz..-At the Salford Sessions last week a bill was
presented to the Grand Jury on the part of Colonel Fletcher
against Mr. Smith, of Fogg's colliery. near Bolton, author

yet been made betwixt the turn-out calico printers and their
late employers. A numerous meeting of the turn-out prin-
ters and others connected with the Trades' Union, was held
on Monday, on Cribden Hill, near Haslingdeu, but we have
not heard the resole of the meeting.
Yoaxentat Assizes.-These Aseizes for the county of
York commenced on Saturday week, before the Hon. Sir
James Parke. A man named Ooodeer was tried for
" stabbing his wife with intent to murder her." The In.
fiction of several wounds by the prisoner was proved, and
in his defence he pleaded drunkenness and consequent un.
consciousness of what he was doing; but Mr. Justice Parke
observed, that if a person voluntarily deprived himself of
reason by drinking intoxicating liquors, he was liable foe all
the crimes he committed during that period. The Jury,
however, found the prisoner "guilty at cutting and maim-
ing but not with intent to murder," and afterwards a general
verdict of not guilty was returned.

NULL PACKET, July 19.
On Wednesday last the roof of a new lighthouse, on
Whitby West Pier was put on. This building, which has
been finished In the short space of eleven weeks, will be
highly ornamental to the Pier, as well as useful to naviga-
tion; and does great credit to Mr. F. Pickernsll, engineer of
the Piers. It is built in the form of a Greelan dock column
springing from a rusticated base, 13 feet square, by 11 feet
high ; surmounted by the sight-room ; which is crowned
with a dome top. The whole is about 70 feet high.
On Tuesday night, Mr. Buckingham gave his second lee.

most respectable audience, at the room of the 51 In-
stitute. On this evening, Mr. R described Egypt, Pales-
time, Arabia, Mesopotamia, and Persia. After enemas-

he drew a vivid picture of theimmensity of its achieoetnral
smalls, from which be deduced the infanta that its gran-
deur and importance in ancient days must have been beyond
every conception that we could form ; and, besides that part
of the population employed in tillage, the resources of the
country must have supported an Table number of
