is rumored that the Emperor and Empress Of the French

official foundation for such report There is not any
Theatrical news except that the immense favorite, La
BLAcHE has made his reappeaance in London at Covent
Garden Opera House, and was welcomed with repeated
cheers. There good many books published, but
none Of frst.rate interes Many eulogiums of JAMES
MONTGOMERY, both as man and poet appear in the
magazines and journals The following conclusion Of q
notice by DOUGLAS JEKRoLD is, we think, as just and
comprehensive as it is concise:
] JAMES MONTGOMERY was emphatically a sek-made
man, and became poet editor, ateacher by example
as well as by precept. He came to London as youth,
his heart full Of hope and his pockets Of poems He
to bookseller, who refused his verses, bat made him
shopman. He went to Sheffield where Castereagh
found him writing treason and supporting sedon, and
laid him up in jail The Edinburgh Review assaied his
poetry and denied his genius But greater than the
Edinburgh to his Byron MT only maintain
ed that he of genius, but iat his eWanderer
of Switzerland was worth THOUSAND Of Wordsworth's
Lyrical Ballads and at least fifty Of Southeys Epcs His
Common Lot is of the most perfect things in the
language, taking rank with Grays Elegy He lived to
full old age lived not merely his personal fame
established but the principles ofbera thought and ibe-
raj action in behalf OF which he had suffered in his youth
caumny, imprisonment and social persecution worse
than either The life of james Montgomery is noble
lesson to the young"

whilst England, in addition to the immense force which
naval will bring bear in the Baltic and
Black Sea- is to be ready with the amplest means for the
transport of troops to the place where their services will
be most required whenever the operations of fleets
may conquer the opportunity for action against the
tres Of Russian power On this subject the Constitution
mel says: H.
Before the naval campaign which is now commence
ing shall have terminated Russia will have lost in few
weeks the fruit of more than century Of perseverng eff
forts gigantic labors, and immense sacrifices The for
which she has raised such great expense the
of the Baltic and the Black Sea will fall to the
groundset FIRE and demolished and the fleets which
she has formed by dnt of patience money me tyranny
