LITERARY GAzETTI. This is the name OF
a new papor Just published in Boston, and edit
cd by JAMES w. MILLER,Esq. who is favora-
bly, known to the public, as ono of the coniri-
bu;or, TO tao " Whim- Uhams," and as
writer of sparkling genius We have received
the FIRST number Of the Gazette, and are sorry
to say, that it does not meet our expectations.
But whether it does, or does not, we opne Mr..
of the style Of the Editor, we copy the follow
ing paragrap aphs, which to our mind, are exceed
ceedngly Objectionable, first because their
style is affected and pcdan,ic, ard secondly
hecauso their manner, is not original
"An author and n critic are as widely dis
tinct as 4 crow and a caterpiller. We have
al this time great and urgent need Of liter
ary consor, able, fearless and impartial. Gre
ators Of prose. and manufa cturers Of verse,
have sprung up among us like bubbles in a
beer. barrel, and verify, many Of them are as
empty and as spumous too. Many Of these
literary flies have fed fat upon the carious
banquet Of editorial fattcry, and now buzz and
blusier-bluebottles in tho sunshine.
II has become a prevailing evil Of our sinful

has placed upon the prosaiek snd poetic en-

CoNGREss.-In the Senate, on Friday, Feb
Is, very little business was transacted. The
bell for the organization of the militia of the
United States was taken up. amended, and
then laid on the table The Senate spent an
hour in secret session; and then adjourned to
Monday.
In the House, the bill from the Senate, in
addition TO an act concerning Discriminating
Duties of Tonnage and Import, was reported
without amendment. Mr.. Whpple submitted
resolution. declaring that the Constitution of
the United States ought TO be so amended as
that the Electors of President and Vice Presi-
dent, in each State in the Union, shall be elect
ed by general ticket, and not otherwise; |;
which was committed 10 the committee Of the
whole. The Committee Of Ways and Means
were instructed TO inquire into the expcdency
OF reducing the duties on manula ciuros Of silk,
imported from Europe. Mr.. Floyd, of Virginia,
submitted "A resolution, insi-ucting the commit
tee to whom were referred the rules and or
ders OF the House, to inquire into the exped-
iency of providing some means Of making the
sterographcrs responsible for the accuracy Of
! THAR reports. This motion gave rise to n de-
bate, which ended by the resolution being or
Gered to lie upon the table. MIR. Tucker, Of
South Carolina, submitted an amendment to
that part of the Constitution which provides
| for the choice Of President. The remainder
| OF the day was spent in committee ofthe whole
on the bills making appropriations for internal
! improvements, for Notifications, the military
service, nc but neither Of these subjects was
defnitvely acted upon. The House adjourned

h,-THE WHALE! The whale was towed

to this town yesterday by the steamboat Full
ton, and is to be seen at the Marine Railway
near Fox Point wharf
So great a novelty, cannot fail TO excite the
curiosity of all, and it is expected, that his
whaleship will receive greater attentions, than
General Jackson did at the city Of New-Or-
leans. We understand that he is a real whale,
and reported when taken, that tho admininis-
traiien was exceedingly popular, excep, among
the cod fish, and they only found fault with it,
because it proposed a relaxation Of the tariff
on salt.-Thc fate of the six Militia Men, had
caused decided rea ction among the piscary
states, and at a public meeting held on the
banks of New foundland OH the 2otl ul,. sot of
spirited resolutions were passed, disapprov-
ing Of the conduct Of General Jackson during
the Seminole war "This is just what we mad
expected"
We advise every man, woman and child,
that can raise the wind, TO make a call on his
whaleship, and extend their courtesies and at
toLtion. Let all go, great and small. young
and old, for this is, in all probability. the
best opportunity we shall ever have Of seeing a
Uhale!
p. S. Since writing the above, we have been
requested by the proprietors of the whale to
state, that in consequence of difficulties, in
which the public are not particularly interest
ed. the whale cannot be exhibited, till Mon
day next.

The SOUTHERN REVIEW. -Wo arc in
dcbied to friend in Charleston, South Caro-
Ina, for n copy Of this long talked-of work
! and have given it worry diligent 7erusal
! though TO do so, we have subjected ourselvc,
10 no ordinary computations of cons ;ionc ce, n nc
labor. I. is what wo anticipated it would be
an entire failure. perfect aborlon, and in al
probability will--the FIRST number at least, -
"f,il still born from the press"
The book commences with disussion, some
what "iearned," on the old, and aImos, ex-
plodod subject, the utility Of classical learning
and supports tho right sido with somo force. -
This article is intended for reply, to tho very
powerful, manly, candid. and liberia lpostions
assumed by Professor Grmke of South Carroll
ma, which we presume have been very gener-
ally read. For ourselves only, we shall speak
when NO say, that although VIC have been de-
lighted with tho objections Of Mr.. Grlmke, we
cannot give to them our entire assent. We must
insist, that classica! learning, is of omincn, ad-
vantage to any man Of common understanding,
but decidedly injurious to him, who is disposed
to bo quack or pedant. Every man may
receive a classical education if he chooses to
do go, but if he does not thus possess himself,
tho absence Of classical literature should not,
and does not, shut him out from the world, or
fcrncnt.
The next article in the work, which has ar
rested our attention, is an essay on the prrc-
pies Of Political Economy, called review of
Doctor Cooper's somewhat celebrated work on
that science. The writer very justly disseRts
from the positions assumed by the Doctor, and
ingoniously combats, if he does not absolutely
refn;e. the assertions, Of tho President of the
College of South Carolina. This article is in
our opinion, the ablast one the work contains,
though we will not say, that its merits are pos
itively pre-emnent. There arc several other ar
ticles on various subjects The one on the Co.
ology Of North Carolina, is pretty well written
that on the historical facts connected withthe
execution of Colonel Haync, during the war OF
the revolution, possesses more than ordinary
interest, though inelegantly written, and is
wol calculated 10 interest the Patriot, as well
as the Literary student.
The article, called a critic OH the Tasman, il
hardly worth mentioning, and yet it is the only
ono of Bellies Lsttres reading. We would not
if we could, say ono word to Injure tho pros
poets Of the publication in question, bu, can.
dour ccmpcls us 10 say, that in rank, it range!
several degrees below modocriiy. The Noril
American Reycw, has nothing TO fear from it
and will not be injured by Its appearance. w
think that the Southern Review is not calcu
lated to do mnch good to the cause of Letters
and will no. enhance the reputation Of Soutl
| Carolinian Literature.

PRIZE POEMS. Since the opening of Dru-
ry Lane Theatre. there has not appeared a
single prize poem, but what has been built af-
ter the model Of that celebrated production
not one that has tho leest claim to originality,
so far as manner is concerned, five except one
which was written, by Halleck, to be recited
at tho opening Of the Park Theatre, New
York, and rejected, simply because it was
purely original, by most discriminating and
sagacious committees! We hope and trust, !,
that the poets will make an effort to get up
something, partly original and in the name
of Peter Griepous, and all his family, we be-
seech them to abandon the old model
We rever read a theatrical prize poem, tha,

In distant times, in that dcluded age,
When persecution followed up the stage"
Ort thus,
"In ancient times, while yet the Muse young
When Jove apples, and the harp up,uung"
Or thus,
"When tiyot ZEAL aud mitred mt old
And Peter johnson bought old books and soll.'
Or thug,
"Fricnd' Of the stage, and patrons Of our cause
Ye friends to freedom and to equal laws"
The measure Of yhe verse. rhyme, tow cloth
and leno, are measured by the foot, and Mo-
lasses by the galon-ha ever been the same,
and no prizo writer, that has thus far nourshed
has thought himself n man of merit unless he
has made " true" rhyme with rie,D, "too''
with "neto," ".Gre" with "ire" and I" art
with scarf"
Thus they do it,
" Friends of the s,gc yc friends TO virtue true
You're to nigh Theatre to vierc,

We have given a pretty fair specimen o.
theatrical prize addresses in the foregoing lines
and to be serious, we cannot but hope, tha
some plan will be invented. by tho manager.
/ Of Theatres, to spare the world from the reci
tation Of prize poems, these everlasting, ant
