EXTRACTS FROM CARNE's LETTERS FROM

THE EAST.
AS sat one afternoon beneath the
portlco of the palace OF the JaDizarles
in Constantinopie, two Greeks, OF a su-
perlor class, were brought IN under a
guard. Ii was impossible not TO be

elderly men: and as the, walked win a
firm step, their looks were placid and
resigned. Their tate was inevitable ;
their retreat had been discovered, ana

Indeed 1t was singular to observe the
resignation, approaching 10 apathy, with
which the Greeks IN general met their
fats. One unfortunate man had made

TO MY MOTHER.


What shall bear thee, mother dear,
When thy embrace again greet,
And feel upon my cheek the tear
That flows when child and parent meet ?
What shall bear thee Wealth and fame,
Or gems that grow beneath the wave
Gold have not and glory's fame
Have seldom shone but on the grave
Nor wealth, nor fame, nor gems to thee,
My Mother will thy offspring bear;
Mean such reward indeed would be
For all thy love-for all thy care:
But shall bear TO thy kind breast
What heaven nor thee will e'er reject;
A wasted form--pale sorrows guest
A broken heart-a spirit wrecked.

From the ~ r Commercial odyeytissr.

Sir Walier Scott--The letter published in
the Enquirer, and the other journals of this
city, disayowing the authorship OF the Waverly
novels, and protesting to come from Sir Wal
ter himself, is, in our opinion, hoax upon the
French Publisher Mr. John Gibson Lock
Hart, (son-in-law of Sir Walter) described to
the writer of this paragraph, in the year 1922,
the manner in which the Bride of LammerDluir
was composed, and stated that he (Mr. Lock
hart) had written down a considerable part OF
the tale from the authors direction Mr.. L.
did not assert that Sir w. was the author, but
he left il to be inferred. The inference was
fair one, considering the intimacy which exis
ted between the parties, and likewise that Sir
Walter was at that time suffering from the same
complaint, which MIR l.. mentioned as being
the cause of the authors employing an. amanu
ensis. Besides, Sir w. indirectly told Lord
Byron that lie was the author But there is no
possible ground for doubling his claim to the title.
The simple fact OF Sir Waiter SCOTS being so
deeply involved by the failure Of Constable in
Edinburgh, and Hurst s Robinson in London,
(the publishers of the Waveriy nosels) is con-
elusive. Except the novels, there were no mu-
tual transactions which could so ruinousy in
yolye the writer inthe publishers failure The
"AAiuo'it \tiiduC OH llIdl uSSdoiOuJ tbal " 90
proprietor of The COPY right, sets the matter
entirely at rest.-There is not a literary man
N England who doubts Scott's tile.
| The foregoing paragraph, which we find in
the Enquirer of this morning, was written by
an American literary gentleman Of our acquain-
lance who has been fifteen years in England.
In addition we may remark, that some eight
or ten days ago, Philadelphia gentleman who
was in England while the Tales ofthe Crusaders
were in preparation, being on a visit 10 Sir
Walter Scott, saw some of the prool-shee,s OF
that work at his house. Still we have no right
to pronounce the letter of Scout hoax, since
its authenticity is admitted by NJ. Detaucon-
pref But again: 1t was written several years
ago, when there was doubt as to who was
the author Of the works in question, and when
| there was an apparent object in keeping veil
of mystery over his name. After all, our o.
pinion that the "Grcat Unknown and Sir
Walter Scott aresone and the same, is, unchan-
ged; but still this letter is queer one.
