THE ROYAL VISIT.

Dedicated by command to her Royal Highness the s
For Duchth-
ess
of Kent. From Canto Seventh of Mr. Park'
coming Poems

DEPARTURE FROM SCONE PALACE FOIL THE HEART OF
THE HIGHLANDS.
The sun looks o'er the Scottish Alps
With piercing and illustrious eye,
And sweeps the clouds from off their scalps,
While darkness leaves the orient sky.
His belting form has only shone
Two tranquil hours, ere from their rest
The couple that adorn the throne
Are also in their radiance dress'd.
And walking on the terrace grand,
And gazing on the streaming Tay,
They own with joy the mighty hand
That rear'd the hills in such display—
The architect of earth and heaven,
The starry dome, the boundless seas—
Of every bliss to man that's given—
Their souls were fill'd with thoughts like these.
• Tell me, ye stoics, who e'er gazed
On nature with a conscious eye,
And has not, though in silence, praised
The God that governs all on high ?
And if such worms as sceptics live,
To taint the air with piteous breath— •
What pleasure can your doctrine give ?
Even Paine, your champion, quailed at death!
Can ye behold the glorious sun,
In his triumphant march of love,
And yet say no Almighty one
Rules, without change, the hosts above?
Can ye behold the star-deck 'd skies,
NVith arch of soft celestial blue,
That mocks you with its million eyes,
Whatever way ye take your view !
Or if, chastised, ye hang the head,
Conviction kindling in your heart—.
Behold the flowers around you spread,
That never knew the florists art !
Gaze bat on the umbrageous wood,
Where merry songsters tune the air;
How are these to be understood,
If God has never placed them there ?
Think of their state some months bygone,
When dry and leafless all were seen ;
Who put this varying foliage on ?
So svieet. so tender, and so green !
The rock-built hills, the wave-clad seas,
The clouds that float on ether high—
Even echo, on the wandering breeze,
Assumes a voice, and whispers—" lie !"

LIVERPOOL CORN EXCHANGE,—Titis DAY.

(From Messrs. 1?. MAKIN & SONS' Circular.).

The arrivals into this port, up to Friday's market and sub-
sequently, contain a liberal accession of English, Irish, and
foreign Wheat combined, with a fair supply of barley, malt,
and oats, coastwise and from Ireland ; including, compared
with previous weeks of late, a tolerable quantity of Flour from
the latter source, but only 2634 barrels of States and Cana-
dian, as specified below.
Controlled by the general depression of trade in this dis-
trict, the languid accounts from most of the leading Corn-
markets of the kingdom, and more especially the abundance
and extremely low rates at which Oatmeal and Potatoes
ay.; freely offered, and to which the labouring classes, the
great consumers of cheap food, have recourse at present,
any extensive operations in Wheat at our Corn Exchange to-
day have been impracticable ; induced, however, by holders
of this grain acceding generally to a decline of 2d. to 3d. per
701bs. from the terms of this day week, the millers purchased
to a moderate amount, but merely for immediate purposes.
Occasional, but by no means extensive, sales of Flour were
effected, at a slight abatement in the value of all descrip-
tions of English, Irish, and Foreign, except choice brands of
Canadian, which retained our last quotations.
Barley, continuing in slow request, was the turn cheaper ;
and Malt, attended with a dull sale, declined ls. per qr.
Beans and Pease remained nominally as described on Friday.
