VIII. annhilate the appetite of Cardinal Woolsey!
One priest scrambled! He helped himself to three
hundred and sixty pieces of silver orytwo of bronze,
and eight gold; which he wrapped in cloth strong
as to stand the and tear of seventeen centuries
He fed with these spos of the temple, but was over

indeed have been able to clasp the mamon of unrght-

EMIGRANTS.-Ac correspondent of the New York
Commercial Advertiser, in letter dated "Steamboat
Great Britain Lake Ontario, Aug 81 writes as fol-
lows:-
s.You will be surprised to learn that we have now on
board the G. B. nearly 1000 souls, including 700
emigrants from Ireland, England, Scotland Wales,
Germany, and Switzerland, who are, they say, go
ing to the states, having been sent to
ssfree country" via Quebec. The spacious decks Of
this noble steamer above and below cranmed with
their bags and chests, the top Of which they are
seated or lying down, men, women, and children In
state of filth and degradation the most ptiable of which
you can form any conception. Scarcely woman on
board without company Of children Of some three or
four, closely huddled around her in group with an
other at the breast"
ARDENT SprRrTs.--Sir Ashly Cooper says 81 never
suffer ardent spirits in my house, thinking them evil
spirits; and if persons could witness the white vers
the dropsies and the shattered systems which
have seem as the consequence Of drinking them, they
would be aware that spirits, and poison are s,nony-

There's many lass with blooming cheek,
And many an eye that has learned to speak,
There's many beauty jewelled out,
And many wit at ball and rout,
And many head for such will whirl-
BIT give me beautiful Quaker girl!
There are those that please and those that charm,
There are those that boast of lovely form,
or early teeth or pretty foot,
Or Of having sprung f'om an honor'd root,
Or of heads ali decked with gems and curls,
But these are unlike the Quaker girls!
Have you ever gazed on pretty face,
Nv nature deck'd with every grace,
That told Of soul all pure and bright,
OF a mind that gloSe ed with virtues light
That spoke of a heart to nature true?
'Tis the Quaker girl exposed 10 view.
Have you ever pressed lilly hand,
That shrinking, gave you reprimandl
Have YOU ever chatted, 1--WE all know how,)
And smiled at her simple s'thee" and sslhou'"
Or laughed when she frankly told yon "yes''
sTs the fashion You know, with the Quakeress.
There is kindness beaming from every eye,
And truth on every look and sigh;
There is honesty breathcd in every vow.
And it sounds no orse for its .sthee" and thou,"
So boast as you will Of each lass you see,
But the Quaker girl is the one for me!

We have received the Southern Literary Messenger
for july and ndispositon has prevented our perusng
il with that attention which its general character de-
cerves.
Mr. White, the publisher, is an interchangeable man;
he is eternay at work; pressure stays him in his
course, but with the blood of old Virginia, he
goes ahead" We like his devotedness to his work,
and trust he will reap rich harvest of merit and mo-
ney Fl ON his physical expenditures Of time labor, and
love.
We said we have been prevented from looking over
his number but we have word or two to say to
friend White, which might well be "put in the
composition stick now at any other time.
Mr.. White has been much praised by the Daily
press for the ability with which his Messenger it got
up. We have generally agreed with that laudatory
criticism, and the editor will believe us when we as
sure him that we find fault with pain.

Thy poetry is the 6 head and fIoat n offending, !,
Mr.. Messenger There is 100 d that is bad
execrable There would not bl l6ch of it if al
was like that sweet and glorious ballad of Semmes
published in the June numbers tale delicatey told
so feelingy whispered FORTH hatit reminded Of tha
pang of the brain, for nothing else, The Ancient
Mariner of Coleridge, the brighteyed man.
We do not speak in particular of this number for
July for as we have not read the pieces thoroughly,
we would not pass our Judgment thereon, but there
have been other numbers that have been carefully read
by us.
We will not pause now to particularize individual
pieces of poetic composition that have appeared to
as not of the richest and rarest order. We regret
ceedngly to say that we do find fault, for have
especial friendship for the Messenger. But we love
the true genius of poetry better than any work that
serves its conductor to minds and hearts. We
have around in and about US, people and coun-
try, the throbbng and teemng elements of the divine
art" We have it in gallant recollections and
wonderful history. Poetry with US can soar beyond
the limits of ruined towers ved gaeways and noddng
plumes. 1t float upon the translucent clouds of
sunset glory instead of the puny pennant of knghtly
company-can call upon the admiration Of the human
heart in the surgng thunder of Niagara instead Of the
shr yet beautiful blast of the cavaliers bugle We
can hear it in old memories of fathers courage,
and in legends of revolution which woke the soul
from bondage to liberty and enthusiasm. There is no
excuse for bad poetry in this country. We cannot
pardon it. Though a rail road people, we poet
cal We have every facility to execute business
in the morning, and every inducement to go into our
arbours and quiet porcos in the twiightevenings But
we are not to perpetrate long essay the poetic
rage" object was to throw ont opinion that po
etry could the loiest steps, and march in the
sublimest measure if bards would but cherish the
right spirit and assmlate themselves to the genius Of
their mighty and glorious land.
We hope Mr.. White will be more careful in his po
etic contributions. We throw out the general hint
though possibly we may be wrong. We may not
have appreciated the high attributes of those contrbu
ons bntwe must say thatwe miss the fine and excel
ent discrimination of Mr.. Poe the late editor of the
Messenger.
