There is more truth and good sense in
the fol!owir: paragraph, from the Mon
,rerl Herald, than many will be supposed
to admit.
" In the United States manufactures
never can flourish while wages are SO
high. and land so cheap; the best proof
OF this is the wonderful emigration every
year, from Now England to the western
states. These hardy reople de>pise the
operations Of sOinuiog and weaving, aud
still more the idea of having master or
employer. Their glory is freedom and
independence, which the nature of vast
country points out to them. As to the
people OF the southern states they are to-
tally Indifferent about every thing, but q
good morket for their rice, tobacco, cot
ton and indigo. England buys more OF
these Commodities than all the rest Of
Europe, and in those states scarcely any
other gods axe imported but English,
AID sume from France, chiefly silks"

And under cou,.ers snug we fly,
When lighter breczes swell the SAIL
And royals proudly sweep the SKY;
'Lonsside the whee,, unwea'ied st'!l

Doth marx the needles faithful thrill,
think Of her love, and cry
Port, my boy! port.
When culms delay, or breezes blow
Right from the point We wish to steer
When by the Wild close haai'd go
And strive in vain the port to near
think tits thus the tatss defer
NV bliss with one that's Tar away,
And while remembrance springs to her,
Iwa,ch the sails, and signing say,
Thus, my boy! thus.
But see the wind draws kindly att
All hands are up the yards to square,
And now the floating stu'nsails wait
Our stately ship thro' wave'and air;
Oh! then think that yet for me
Some breeze of fortune thus mayspr'ng'
Some breeze may aaft me-, love, to thee
And in that hoke, I smiling sing
Steady, boy! so.

LORD BYRON.

coniinaed from London Rsriep.
This is true ksstins-an eastern pic
turs perfect in its foreground, and dis
lance, and sky, and no part Of which is
so dweIt upon or labored as to obscure
the principal figure. 1t is often in the
slight and almost impercsptible touches
that the hand Of the master is shown, and
that a single spark, struck from his fan
ey, lightens with long train Of iilumlna'
ton that OF the reader.
II is another remarkable property OF
the poetry of lord Byron, that although
his manner is frequently varicd-aitho
he appears to have assumed Tor an ooea-
sion the Characteristic stanza and style
OF severa! contemporaries, yet not only is
his poetry marked in every instance BY
the strongest cast Of originality, but in
some leading particulars, and especially
in the character of bis heroes, each story
SO closely resembled the other, tha;
managed by a writer of less power, the
effect would have been an unpleasing
monotOny. All, or almost all, his heroes
have somewhat tn. attributes Of Childe
Harold all, or almost all, have minds
which seem at variance with their for
tunes, and exhibit high and poignant
feelings of pain sud pleasure, keen
sense Of what is noble and honorable, and
an equally keen susceptibility Of inju'-
tiee or injury, under the garb OF stoieism
or contempt Of mankind. The strength
Of early passion and the glow Of youthful
feeling are uniformly painted as chilled
or subdued BY a train of early inPru-
depces, or Of darker guilt, and the sense
Of enjoyment furnished by too intimate
and experienced an acquaintance with
the vanity Of human wishes. These &C.
neral attributes mark the stern features
Of all lord Byron's heroes from those
which are shaded BY the sealIoPed hat OF
the illustrious pilgrim, to those which

xadc. The public, ever anxious in curl
esity or malignitY to attach to fictitious
characters real prototypes, were obSti-
nate in declaring that in these leading
traits Of character lord BYren copied
from the individual features reflected in
hisowa mirror. On this subject the no
bic author entered on one occasion =
formal protest.
With regard to my story and stories
in general, I should have been glad to
have rendered my personages more per-
feet and amiable If possible, inasmuch as
I have been sometimes criticised, and
considered no less responsible for their
deeds and qualities than If all had been
personal. BE it so--if I have deviated
