SPIRIT OF CoTEMPoRARy PoErRr.-
We have had the pleasure Of giving the first
number of this work, partial perusal, and do
most cheerfully recommend it to the especial
attention Of the lovers Of poetry, and to all
who have taste for polite and classical Liter
ature. The work is edited and published by
Frederick S. Hill, the very able Editor Of the
Boston Lycum, and author of several poems
Of more than ordinary merit.
The object Of the publication, to use the
words ofMr. Hill, is, to collect, in series of
numbers, choice specimens from that class of
British Poetry, the intrinsic value of which is
enhanced by the present impossbility Of OBJ
tanning it on this side the Atlantic. The ca
gerness with which the American pubic He in
tcaif for the emanations Of the English press
is proverbial; yet many Of our mother coun-
try's eminent poets are known to'us, by little
else than their names. Their writings have
been like jewels Of extraordinary rarity-all
know their scarcity and worth from report
while but favoured few, can appreciate their
value from actual observation. Coleridpe. for
thirty years placed by common consent apart
from the host Of writer's who have appeared
and auttered away their noisy and epbcmeral
existence during that time has been presented
to US in only one ordinary edition Of his Chris
tsbelle. The names Of Barry, Cornwall, Keats,
Shelley--the distinguished friend of Byron
Croly, Bowles, Lamb, Henry Neele, and OF
other gifted spirits Of the same rank, are
equally familiar on our lips, and their literary

efforts equally unknown. II is not in the ex-
pectstion of retrieving the labour Of such
men from oblivion that the publicat ion is offer
ed to the world, for they have stamped their
seal of remembrance on the hearts of their
countrymen, and breathed their music in strains
too sweet TO be forgotten; but, in the hope OF
farniliarizing our community with productions
worthy to be cherished among our memories Of
the bright and blessed things of ofexistence.
But few men in this country are more capa-
BILE Of performing the task Mr.. Hill has under
taken than he is, and none are more industri-
Gus in laboring in the Vineyard of Literature
and for his zeal and perseverance he is entitled
to the patronage of all the votaries of Liter
.ature. An undertaking SO laudablc in itself,
and SO interesting to the scholar land the liter
ary gentleman, should be warmly encouraged
and cherished; and we trust, that in the end.
Mr.. Hill will find himself amply rewarded for
his labours, and in possession of that honest
literary fame, for which be is a promising as
pairant.

y" At the request Of several Of our friends,
we take the liberty to ask the Editor of the
Providence and Pawtucket Advertiser, what
he means to have understood, by the following
paragraph, contained in an article of his, pub
lished last Thursday.
"After the Frenchman, had accidentally
lost his fire and stood defenccless and unarm-
ed before his enemy, he with a cool del!bcra-
ton becoming a soldier, was end bitd to raise
his pistol no higher than his opponent thigh,
when from the lapse Of time he was obliged 10
fire or relinqush the golden opportunity of
manning or taking the life Of his antagonist"
We simply call for nformation; and we as
sure our friend Of the Providence and Paw
tucket Advertiser, that he will confer partic-
ular favour by afiordng it with as little delay
as possible, that some bets that have been
made, ma. be decided If the gentleman
meant the paragraph should read as it now
does, and have it understood, he is in error,
and We would respectfully suggest TO h,m, the
propriety Of his taking an occasional glance at
his grammcr.-Wc hope that the information
called for, will be afforded, and that, if it is
not, Committee will be raised Mr.. Speaker,
with power to send for persons and papers"

ORATOR EMMoNs.-Wc copy the follow
ing paragraphs from distant papers, merely to
show the estimation in which Orator Emmons
is held, by the citizens of other commune
ties.
"ORAroR EMMoNs has been astonishing the
good people Of Providence with a display of
his rhetorical powers. He appeared at the
theatre, agreeably to public notice, on the
evening Of the 4th inst. in full Roman cos
tune, and delivered his grafton amidst the
vociferations and Kisses Of a large audience.
The same gentleman made his oppearance in
this town abont a year since, and posted noti-
ications about the village that he would, at s
o'clock in the afternoon, deliver an oraton a.
the Town Hall. The hour arrived, and the
orator arrived, when 10! and behold the doors
of the hall remained closed as firmly as when
no such august parsonage we're near On dill
gent inquiry, the keys could not possibly be
found for the orator. It was on .he day of a
military parade, and good many people we're
assembled on the common. The orator an
nounced his intention Of proceeding, forthwith.
to deliver his Grafton under the shade of large
tree near the Hall; but, on putting himselfin an
oratorical attitude, the people dispersed in var-
Gus directions with as much prOmptitude as il
the riot act had been read. Hereupon, the
orator turned to a solitary individual, who
still fingered near and remarked with great
nonchalance, that, con his own account he
did not regret shis unfort unate result; he was
only sorry that the people should suffer SO
great disappointment"-W Worcester Spy.
A New SCENE FOR ORAToR EMMoNs.
The Editor of the Providence Cadet has
published his trial, for committing an assault
on Orator Epmons, for which he was fined
between two and three dollars The Editor
had published paragraph, guarding the citi-
zens Of Providence against an imposition,
which was to be practised on them by the ex-
hibition Of the Boston peripatetic philosopher
and orator at the theatre, in tho character OF
Roman Orator. The consequence was, that
Mr.. Orator was driven from the stage, and in
consequence became lively and frothy, like a
bottle of his pop on dog-day. In this mood
he sought the cause Of his wrongs, and burst
ing into tears demanded of the Editor some
reparation for his sufferlngs. The Editor dis
posed to be merry, quizzcd him most unmerci-
fully, and kept him in durance vile" for a
few minutes. For this the. orator sought re-
dress in law, and the Editor was fined. Salem

Of the benevolent and humane la5ics of the
town, we commend the sufferer TO their espec-
ial attention, and assure them, that she is
highly meritorious lady, whose whole life has
been continual season of sorrow; and who
il seems, is destined to spend at least, per-
Cd Of her old age, in a common Jail. From
her creditors she has nothing to hope, as they
have determined to pay the necessary sum to
keep her in confinement, till the last farthing
Of the debt is paid; and hence, unless she is re-
lieved by the hands of charity, in prison she
must remain, SO long as they are disposed
to pay the "dcllar" for her confinement.
We cannot but hope. that the old lady will be
instantly removed, and restored to her home.

WEEMs. the pretended clergyman, Of whom
our readers have heard much already, has
been tried before Judge Thacher on three in
dictments; the first for stealing a great coat
from the Representatives chamber; the sec
ond, stealing good from dry goods shop; Sd,
for stealing Razor from Rarber's shop
He was convicted on the first indictment, and
acquitted on the other two. The defence at
tempted on the first trial, was plea of inssn-
ty--this defence failed; on the other two trials
there was deficiency Of evidence.
