SAMUEL RODGERS, THE NEsToE or PoEFs On
the night Of the 18th ut, Samuel Rogers. tie
successful post and banker, died ID his house,
ST. James Place, London, 81 the age Of ninety
six years. He was q native Of that city, thor
oughly educated, and had enjoyed long CO.
reer of funinterrupted prosperity. both In 1itesa-
ture and finance. During long period of tic
latter part of his life he dispensed the hosptah-
ties of his house with great liberality and maa
Americans have been his guests. From On an

Very different, indeed, were the lives in tha
i flesh Of the two men who thus commenced to-
Il gether their lives IN poetry. Burns has been
4 dead sixty years. Rogers has consequently
outlived the poet he commenced the race Of fame
with by that number Of years. % ~ ID

Lord Byron was unborn and Byron has been
dead t6irty-one years! when Percy Bysshe
Y Shelley was born, Rogers Wss in his thirtieth
