And now, having made a short but adven
furious fight up into the regions of the poIiti
cal world, descend we TO the literary world
which is rather thinly inhabited to be sure
10 this little, bnt busy world, is to be found an
odd congregation Of characters. There il
Lord Byron who BY the way rather belongs
at present 70 the sighting world, ard Doctor
Mtchiil, learned in whales and fishes and
member of one thousand and one societies
(some Of which have existed and seine OF
which have not existed) to boot not leaving
lout Southey, who as a poet has as many
lives as a cat, and whose unlimitable song and
IendlesS prose- have been the cause ofsagacious
doubt in the literary world whether his poet
Try be better prose than his prose is poetry.
And then there is Mr.. Thomas .4nacreon
Moore, who writes sweet verses upon butter
cups, and delectable puns about tulips, and
withal, very lackadaisical lines about daisies &
I roses and posies and all that sort of thing
peace be with him, and may bis poetry be en-
balmed in bottle Of rose water. And as a
reward for styling this happy country "the
peculiar abode of dogs and democrats" NAV
bis works follow him Health to immortal
Jeffrey. which means that we hope that Mr..
Jeffrey Of the EdinbuTg Review in Scotland
is welt, and that he will no longer like a liter
AIRY Juggernaut drive his car over the heads
and shoulders Of PROSTATE poets and authors.
May be live thousand years. and Mr.Camp-
bell tco-they make happy pair. Mr.. Rob
lert Walsh Jr. OF the CITY of Philadelphia
let the benisons Of the criticISs be with him,
and his last DAYS be as good as ths Others And
speaking q the Literary World, who is there
of more " pith and moment" in il than Wash
ngton lryings Let him fee the bulwark OF
our religion and come home like an honest
man. Tine would fail me, TO mention and
Igs e honour due toall who have BETRAYED svrnp-
toms of authorship. and who of course belong
Ito The literary world ;--if they do not get
fame, at least, nsay they get bread.

drumming round with the velocity OF a mill

Icount Of the fashionable world, and divers 9th
