Edgar A. Poe.

A review of Edgar a. Poes works has
recently appeared in the Athenean' Fran
Gals. The writer is reported to be very
harsh in his treatment Of the character
and weaknesses Of the poet He thinks,
however. says the Paris correspondent of
the New York Times, that the aspira-
tons towards God, which abound in Poe's
poetry, were not SO much an "ignoble jug
glery' as "a secret protestatlon against the
weaknesses of this material life" He classes
Poe among the poets of the third order;
among the eccentrics, who, unable to be
powerful make themselves fantastic. Pre-
occupied constantly with the idea of the
Indebtedness of life, he expresses it under
the form of betrayed love. Nevertheless, he
regards him as religious poet. and says that
his Invocation to the Virgin enabled him
doubtless to find grace before God, and serv-
ed to render his expiation less painful. Of
the Raven" he says; "Ihe manner and
matter of this fantasmagorical composition
are well calculated to strike the reader with
an insupportable gloom; who, after having
perused if, closes the volume with lead up
on his heart"

Straw Paper.

The New York Tribune states that the
great feature of the paper exhibition in the
Crystal Palace, is plain locking collection
of writing paper, made entireiy from straw,
by Coupler 4 Mellier, of France, who have
also patented their process in this country
1t appears that by new chemical process,
the invention reduces the fibre of straw or
other vegetable substances into pulp, which
is then finished as paper by the ordinary me-
thods. The Tribune states that the great diff,
fculty Coupler & Mellier had to overcome,
was to submit the straw to the chemical
agents which they employ, in such manner
as produce on it the necessary effect, and
at the same time not to wear it out, that is to
say, to retain the strength of the fbres; and
finally to obtain the pulp for manufacturing,
at cost not exceeding, and if possible infe-
rior to, the cost of the pulp made from rags
Before discovering the very ingenious com
bination of means, which answers complete
~ they had to go through all the previous
processes, uniting chemical science with
their practical experience as paper manufac
turers, and at great expense of time and
money.
After careful examination of the snec;-
mems OF various qualities, the editor of the
tribune Is satisfied that the straw paper is az
good as can be made of rags. Its advan.
.ageS are Its exceeding cheapness and abun.

Submission to Public Opinion.

Whilst it cannot be denied that an enlight
ened public opinion is entitled to respect, it
must be admitted that a great fault with
many of the public men of the United States
is blind submission to popular whims, pas
sions and prejudices, and that they prefer to
glide with every current that leads to the
smooth harbor of office, rather than stand up
against error and intolerance wherever they
are to be found, and to make and lead pub
lie opinion, instead of being led or driven
by it.
A public man, destitute of moral courage,
loses his own respect and the respect of 9TH
ers as well as the influence which he might
legitimately exert. Moral courage on the
part of the representative, is perfectly CON
sistent with the representative character
Moreover, the people admire men who think
for themselves, and are more apt to recog-
nize their claims to leadership than when they
see them trembling like the aspen at every
popular breath. 1t was this quality of high
toned independence which gave to jackson
and Clay such vast influence over their re-
spective parties, and such deep hold upon
their confidence and affections.

Abbott's Napoleon.

The New York Commercial Advertiser re-
marks that the most wonderful phenomenon
of this age is exhibited every month in the
pages Of Harper's Magazine, the Rev. Mr..
Abbott being the exhibitor. This prodigy is
the sleepless Napoleon and his astonishing
horse, who are necessarily passing through
tempests of musketry and storms of cannon
balls, without receiving the slightest bodily
harm. The great Napoleon never sleeps:
he is in the saddle all night as well as all
day; an occasional nap of Eve minutes re-
freshes him sufficiently to go month with
out winking. Moreover. this miraculous he
70 has no faults. He commits no errors, eli
Their of the head or of the heart. To err is
human, but the Napoleon of Abbott is di-
vine. Clear and discriminating will be the
ideas of historic truth, derived by the youth
full readers of Harper, from Abbott's Napo-
leon!

Louis Napoleon.

The Paris correspondent of the New York
Herald states that at a recent grand review of
the troops in Paris, Louis Napoleon delivered
speech. which has created much sensation.
and appears to be sort of public manifesto
of his opinions, projects, and views. At this
moment, says the correspondent, when Eu-
rope Is on the eve of taking up arms, when
the military organization is increased all over
the continent, when the strategic movements
on the land and on the sea are exciting the
attention of all beliigerent people. after the
display of reviews at Vienna, Chobham, Shit
head. Olmatz, Bessika, and other places, il is
impossible not to remark the sentence os
Louis Napoleons speech, rendering homage
"as long as peace is important to the good
sentiments which exist between France and
foreign nations, owing to which, as long a,
policy does not change them into enemies
the foreign soldiers are accepted and receiv
cd as comrades and brothers,

The FOREIGN News.

The intelligence by the Canada brings
nothing decisive on the Eastern question
The most interesting fact is,that two English
and two French vessels have passed the Oar
danelles and anchored before Constantinople,
with the intention of preventing the Sultan
from going to war against Russia. Call ye
this backing your friends 7 The British yes
sells were the Niger and Tiger, and the
French, the Conner and Mo.eden. They
were all under the command of Rear ADM
raj BARBER DETlNa. Besides these, the Ad-
miral has under his orders three other British
ships and four French frigates, Whilst Aami-
raj Dundas had received orders to movewit
the whole English feet from Besika to Con

Russia seems TO be having an easy time of it,
occupying the principalties with her own

the fleets of England and France. We pre-
sumo that few of the uninitiated have con-
jectured that the part to be played by Eng
land and France in this controversy, was to
hold Turkey, while the Gear was preparing
to rob and destroy her. 1t is not wonderful
that the most intense indignation prev-ls
