Poetry.
r II may be doubted whether there is any
poetry in nature apart from the associations
of the mind, Just as there is no such thing
as color except by the separation OF the
rays Of light Nature, in her lowest form,
may become poetical. when the mind Of
the poet associates her with the common
feelings or common interest Of mankind
"Ths poor beetle that we tread upon" is
not poetical in itself, but it becomes poeti.
calm the loltiest degree when it points the
moral OF the true terror Of death, and the
great high priest OF man and nature an
nonnces that the miserable insect Gin cor
poral uferance feels pang as great as
when a giant dies" Even the description
Of inanimate nature, though Of the LOWEST
character, ia unsatisfactory, or inferior at
least, if not associated with some human
feeling or moral sense. Truth of descrip-
ton seems insufficient unless it be associated
with man or his productions, Strike out
the illusions TO art in the following pOeti-
cal description Of evening, and what will
be left?
"Ere the bat hath flown
His eloiaered flight; ere to black Hscate's sum.
90 mons ESQ .L1 vih l--
The shard- borne beetle with his drowsy huns
Hath rung nights yawning PEAL"
And in similar theme. though the descrip.
ton is more direct what force is given by
the appeal 10 observation and msmoryl
"The West yet glimmes with some streaks
Of day;
Now spurs the lated traveller apacs,
To gain the timely inn.''
Mere description, description of nothing
but the forms Of nature, may be found, and
among inferior poets or poetasters in terrible
quantities; but the life and interest of de.
scriptive poetry will always arise from some
association with the arts, employmenis, or
feelings of man: when they are absent il
will soon become insufTerably tedious. II
this view is correct, the theory Of Bowles
seems disposed Of though on different
grounds from those advanced by Byron and
others who engaged in the controversy. Ii
is equally clear that, strictly speaking, there
can be no poetry in science; for science is
not even description OF any part OF ma.
sure, but deduction Of general laws from
the observation Of or experiment upon
single facts. A scientific exposition may
indeed be made poetical, just as agriculture
may be treated POLITICALLY by competent
poet; but it will be done in the same way
as other things. that is, by rendering the
poetry predominant. and by selecting from
the science. or the art. such parts as are
best fitted for poetical display, and illus
trating them by appeals to the sympathies
or associations of the human mind. For
example, the security of the gloom-involved
mariner through his compass is a more po
etical image than many Of the recondite OF
strik ng scientific facts connected with mag
netism.-Speetator.

UNITED STATES MEDICAL STUDENTS IL
LoNDoN.-We went TO an evening party at
the house Of one Of the Professors of the
University, and met many of his colleagues,
and some medical students. Two Of the
latter informed me that they had been sent
to London to finish their course of study,
having been brought up to feel great re-
spect and veneration for English education
al establishments. They had been receiv-
ed kindly and politely by the professors,
but the prejudices Of the sjoriy OF their
fellow-pupils against the institutions Of the
United States, and still more their rude re-
marks about the vulgarity Of all Americans
(of whom they knew scarcely anything)
had so wounded their national feelings.
that they had written home TO entreat their
parents to allow them to attend classes at
Paris, or in some German University, to
which they had reluctantly assented. These
young men, being Of good families in Ken.
lucky, were gsntlemanlike in their manners,
in this respect decidedly above the average
standard of students Of the same profession
in England, end they spoke with no bitter.
ness even on this annoying topic.

NAVIGATION OF the RIO GR1SpE.-The
fine barge Harry Lore, says the Amer
lean F'ag printed at Brownsville, Texas.
under the command Of Capt. Daniel NJ.
Kingbury. made successful trip up the
Rio G rande, 10 within two leagues Of the
precidio del Rio Grande. The expedition
was go, up by Major W. W. Chapman,
Quarter master Of the L. s. A., with a
view Of transporting government, stores to
our military posts on the upper l,io Grande.
As this experiment was made during the
very lowest stages Of water, ii is believed
that uninterrupted navigation will he car
RED on, hereafter between the pretidio and
the mouth Of the river, thus saving thous-
ands Of dollars 10 the Government in the
expense OF Transporting her military stores
10 our out-posts. The obstruction in the
river at the Prccidio, is ledge Of rocks,
running across the entire stream: but above
this, the river is again ravicable for nearly
200 miles. Capt. k;nrsbury thinks this
ledge nigh; lie removed with but little cx-
pense.
