SIIA K 3 PEARE.-It is remarkable that Sbakspeare is the only
Vpoet whose works have been illustrated by poetry ; Homer,
irgil, Horace, are explained and paraphrased; Chaucer and
the older poets, translated; Milton, criticised; but none other
than Shakespeare have been illustrated by
.poetry. All the
criticisms on Shakspeare are poetical. He Is not only poetry
himself, but he begets it in others; he communicates the facul-
ty as the flower its perfume; at once surprises the heart and
awakens the affections; and he who possesses them most must
understand him best.--The Analyst.
SHIPWRECKS.—Extract of a letter from a passenger by the
Calypso of Carlisle, Captain Mason from Liverpool to Conbi• ii.
tinople, to a gentleman in Glasgow, dated Constantinople, util
Sept. 1836 :—" We arrived here on the 27th ult. after a passage
of 90 days; we had very bad weather, only seven days of a fair
wind, all the rest of the passage either a dead calm, or the wind
right a-head, and sometimes blowing a gale. In passing the
Bay of Biscay on the 3d June, we fell in with the Helm of
Gloucester, dismasted, and carrying a signal of distress. We
ran close up to her, but the heavy sea prevented us from ren-
dering them any assistance. We saw another wreck with very
little above water. On the night of the 7th July we very nar-
rowly escaped being run down by a large brig. Being on op-
posite tacks, she was not observed till close upon us, and uith
every exertion to clear each other, her jib boom ran right
through our fore and aft mainsail. On the 12th of August,
when beating against the current towards the Dardanelles, we
experienced a severe squall, which split a number of our sails.
During the squall, we saw the Minerva of Stranraer go ashore.
The Hannibal of Dundee went down near the same place, and
only the cook and cabin boy were saved by clinging to a plank
of wood, We landed here on the 27th, all in good health."
