POETRY

THE DAWN OF GENIUS

BY T. J. OUSELEY

No, not a sound : The gentle atmosphere
Breathes upon all things with a tender light,
The blush 'twixt day and twilight—yet so clear
That the arched heavens look depthless—as the sight
Drowns itself in the P.zure infinite;
Whilst, fretted silver, fleecy cloudless lie,
In shapes fantastical, becalmed—and bright
With gorgeous hues—the glorious western sky
Gleams—like the jewelled portals of Eternity.

There is a hill that seems to have arose
In play—from out the valley at its base,
From which the beauteous andscape in repose,
In varied lights and shadows we m.:y trace,
Until it melts into the Sun's embrace
From that sweet upland—on the lovely scene,
Gazes a GlRL—in whose still—soul lit face
Are thoughts too deep for words—whose eye serene
Beholds a visioned Paradise—Earth hath not seen.

Upon her head some thirteen summers might
Have wreathed their flowers blooming—not for aye,
But never till this moment had her sight

Enraptured pictured glories in the ski :
Or had she held her breath—as if to die
'Were but to let the spirit wing it. way
Without a pang. Divinest harmony
Swelled through the space of heaven's eternal day,
Her soul with rapture filled !—immortal in its clay.

The firs

,t dream of a life—her mortal fire

Quenched whilst she paused to imbibe the spark,
Th' electric spark struck from the magic lyre,
To whose enchanting strains the Angels hark ;
Such sounds as first the stars sung when the Ark
Stood on a cloudless world—when the black veil
Of Heaven's dire wrath was lifted from the dark
Concave of Earth—and the despairing wail
Ofdying wretches ceased—for shouts of joy to hail.

At length she sees afar things bountiful,
To which no name is given—to which no thought
_ _

Can give comparison : so wonderful,
Yet not to her a wonrer,—the charm brought
Quiet and beauty richly in
Her brain seemed bathed
Drawn from mos*

,senee of rare things
; and she sought

fight—where Ser

.aphs poise their

And there are gol

len palaces afloat,

OBSERVATORY

The proceedings of the Observatory Committee Com-
prised a recommendation of John Hartnup as observer,
at asalary of £2OO per annum.

Mr. PARKER asked if the observations were to be pub-
lished, because if so there would be an expense of £3OO
a-year more.

Mr. ATKIN said no such thing was contemplated. The
committee had been in continual communication with,
and hae, acted under the advice and direction of, the first
scientific people ; and they would have the best transit
instrument, and one of the best observers, in the kingdom.

SALFORD CATTLE MARKET, SEPTEMBER 6

We had a tolerably fair supply of Beasts, as also of Sheep and
Lambs, and as buyers were fully an average number, there was
a brisk trade in Beef, at about the last week's rates. Mutton

BIRMINGHAM CORN MARKET, SEPT. 6.
During the present week we have had splendid harvest
weather, and great progress made in securing the crops.
Millers were indisposed to buy new Wheat, the deliveries
hitherto have proved very unsatisfactory in quality and con.
dition. Holders of old English were unwilling to sell at less
money, and few transactions occurred. No change to report
in malting or grinding Barley, or Beans. Oats difficult to qut

TO CORRESPONDENTS.

A circumstantial account of the trial of the atmospheric
railway was given in our publication a fortnight ago.
We are unable to answer our correspondent's other
query.
A correspondent who subscribes himself " A Constant
Reader of the STANDARD." enquires of us whether
the bills of mortality for this town comprise the deaths
of the inhabitants only, or include foreigners, travellers
and other casual visitors of Liverpool. We can in
reply state for his information what they do comprise.
The baptisms and burials are given for all the churches
in Liverpool and the outskirts, the latter embracing
Toxteth-park, Everton, Edge-hill, and Kirkdale. But
we do not conceive that these bills give the fair statis-
tics of the mortality of our town ; for the registry of
the Church of England is the only document which
they depend upon—and it is well known that the bap-
tisms of children are, since the registration system was
adopted. very imperfect documents whereby to judge
of the number of births in any locality. Our corres-
pondent evidently wishes to under-estimate the pesti-
lential nature of our atmosphere. He asks us whether
foreigners dying here are included in our bills of mor-
tality. Of course they are. But those persons, not
natives though residents of Liverpool, who leave here
to try the experiment and to die in their native air, are
not included ; and there will be little difference in the
balance between the two. Very few people come here
as the last place for health. We are getting rather too
notorious.

EDUCATION COMMITTEE

The report of the Education Committee gave the fol-
lowing returns of the number of children in the schools :
North School.—Bovs 250, girls 190, infants 170; total
610. Number on the books, 863.
South School.—Boys 183, girls 161, infants 183 ; total
527. Number on the books, 667.
The proceedings, resolutions, and reports of the Gaol
and House of Correction Committee, and of the Church
Expenditure Committee, were read and confirmed.
The proceedings of the Town-hall Establishment Com-
mittee comprised the appointment of Wm. Drummond
to the situation of resident joiner at the Town-hall, the
consideration of which was postponed at the last monthly
council, pursuant to the standing orders. The proceed-
ings were confirmed.

OBSERVATORY

The proceedings of the Observatory Committee com-
prised a recommendation of John Hartnup as observer,
at a salary of £2OO per annum.
Mr. PARKER asked if the observations were to be pub-
lished, because if so there would be an expense of £3OO
a-year more. _ _ _

Mr. Atictx said no such thing was contemplated. The
committee had been in continual communication with,
and hae, acted under the advice and direction of, the first
scientific people ; and they would have the best transit
instrument, and one of the best observers, in the kingdom.

Stamps and Taxes,
PENALTIES.—The Commissioners of Stamps and Taxes hereby give notice, that every person taking, killing,
or pursuing game, without first obtaining a certificate, incurs a penalty of £2O, and is also liable to be surcharged in
double the amount of the certificate duty.
Any person in pursuit of game, refusing, on being duly required, to produce his certificate, or to permit the same
to be read, or a copy thereof to be taken, or refusing to declare his true name and place of residence, also incurs a
penalty of £2O.
Gamekeepers are desired to take notice that a certificate at the rate of LI 7s. 6d. will not authorise any person
to kill game beyond the limits of the manor for which he is deputed ' • and, in order that a certificate at such rate of
duty may protect a gamekeeper, it is reqwisite, not only that he should be deputed by some lord or lady of a manor
or reputed manor, but also that such deputation should be registered with the clerk of the peace, or the gamekeeper
will be liable to be surcharged in double the duty of £4 Os. 10d., and also be prosecuted by any common informer
for the penalty of £2O.

LIVERPOOL PROVISION MARKET, SEPT. 11

The Butter market has been exceedingly sluggish since our
last ;--a great deal of coquetteing, having been observable,
between holders, and their customers; and neither party ap
pearing anxious to push heavy transactions. We however
think ; (without alteration of our quotations,) that holders have
a little the best of it. Speculators look on; with comparative
calmness in the mean time. Prime Irish Beef and Pork, fully
support our late quotations. Those parties who want to taly
very cheap, we would recommend theta to the Editor of the
Albion. There is a dearth of free trade provisions of fine
quality; and we are fearful that Foreigners dread a competition
with us, in our own market.

LIVERPOOL COTTON MARKET, SEPT. 11

We have no change to notice in our Cotton market. The de-
mand has continued good, and last week's prices have been very
generally maintained. We may remark, that consumers arc
willing purchasers even at the advance realised since the arrival
of the Boston steamer, and seem disposed to keep their stocks
well up. This looks well, and gives a tone of confidence and
steadiness to our market. The sales on Saturday, were 5,000
bales, and to-day, about the same quantity.

By Messrs. THOMAS WINSTANLEY and SON,

On WEDNESDAY, the 27th instant, at Two o'clock in the
Afternoon, at the Clarendon Rooms, South John-street,
Liverpool, subject to such conditions of sale, and in

depth backwards on the east side 9t feet, and on the west
side 92 feet, and on the south side, to Spencer-street, 42
feet 6 inches, and containing in the whole 458 superficial
square yards of Land, or thereabouts, be the same, or the
dimensions thereof, a little more or less, and the Four-
teen DWELLING-HOUSES lately built on part of the
said Land, two of which Houses front to Fulford-street,

MANCHESTER CORN EXCHANGE, SEPT. 9

The weather continues to be most favourable for securing the
harvest with the greatest rapidity, and in the fiuest possible con-
dition.

The trade since our last has been quiet ; but all its branches
are low in stock, and holders, by submitting to a moderate re-
duction, have been enabled to transact a fair amount of busi-
ness.

At Wakefield and Liverpool yesterday, prices of Wheat were
lower ; but at the latter a large business was done in that grain,
both on speculation and consumption, at the reduction.
At our market this day there is a moderate sale for good
Wheat at a decline of about 2d. per bushel upon the rates of our
last. Choice quaiities of Flour are in fair request and maintain
late prices, but any thing below this description is is. per sack
cheaper, whilst inferior and stale samples are purchasable at a
still greater reduction. Oats slow of sale at late prices. There
is more inclination shown to purchase old Oatmeal, but as
holders are not willing to submit to the terms offered, the busi-
ness done is limited ; new 245. per load. Beans as last quoted.
The same observation applies also to fine Malt.

TO MERCHANTS, BANKERS, &c., &c,

VOORSANGER'S NEWLY-INVENTED ELAS-
TIC HORN PEN HOLDER. The distinguishing
characteristics of the Horn Pen Holder are—it gives Steel
Pens a freedom unequalled in the finest Quill—that it has
no affinity with Steel, consequently corrosion is impos-
sible, and the adhering from rust is prevented. It has a
Spring situated close to where the Pen is secured in the
Holder, from which this advantage is derived, that it
causes the Pen to yield and glide over any impediment,
obviating the great objection Steel Pens have from catch-
ing in the turns and up-strokes. Price Fourpence each.
Also Voorsanger's superior METALLIC PENS.

May be had, Wholesale and for Exportation, only a

TO CORRESPONDENTS

circumstantial account of the trial of the atmospheric
railway was given in our publication a fortnight ago.
We are unable to answer our correspondent's other

correspondent who subscribes himself " A Constant
Reader of the STANDARD," enquires of us whether
the bills of mortality for this town comprise the deaths
of the inhabitants only, or include foreigners, travellers
oxid other casual visitors of Liverpool. We can in
reply state for his information what they do comprise.
The baptisms and burials are given for all the churches
in Liverpool and the outskirts, the latter embracing
Toxteth-park, Everton, Edge-hill, and Kirkdale. But
we do not conceive that these bills give the fair statis-
tics of the mortality of our town ; for the registry of
the Church of England is the only document which
they depend upon—and it is well known that the bap-
tisms of children are, since the registration system was
adopted, very imperfect documents whereby to judge
of the number of births in any locality. Our corres-
pondent evi lently wishes to under-estimate the pesti-
lential nature of our atmosphere. He asks us whether
foreigners dying here are included in our bills of mor-
tality. Of course they are. But those persons, not
natives though residents of Liverpool. who leave here
to try the experiment and to die in their native air, are
not included; and there will be little difference hi the
balance between the two. Very few people come here
as the last place for health. We are getting rather too
notorious.
