FROM NER oRLEANS.


The steamer Morning Star from New Or
leans, has arrived. ..... ...
The Herald has a New Orleans letter OF
the Goth.
Brazer city was captured by the rebels on
the 26th with all the troops and artillery
there. Our loss is 1000 men including a
camp Of 600 convalescents and eighteen or
twenty pieces of artillery of heavy calibre.
Our out posts have fallen back to Buck
Station, twenty miles from New Orleans.
The correspondent says as far as New Or
leans in concerned the city is secure. The
guns of the fleet command the city, and Gen.
Emery has disposed of his command so that
he can eifectually defend every point.
From Port Hudson there is nothing new.
The bombardment continues. Another as
saut was expected on the 9th.
The steamer Cahawba arrived this morning
from New Orleans, July l, freighted with
cotton and sugar for New York. She ALSO
brought 4S0 rebel prisoners which she landed
here. She reports the bombardng of Port
Hudson going on when she left.
Our steamers are running up the river reg
ularly with Gen. Banks supplies.
There is no truth in the report of his sup
plies being cut off, and great confidence is ex-
pressed that Port Hudson will soon fall
Deserters are daily coming to Gen. Banks
lines from the army.

Walter Scott Criticising Byron.

The following passage from letter by
Sir Waller Scott is quoted in the "Sea-
forth Papers" ... ...
"You ask me, dear Lady Hood, for lit
erary news. There is not much OF any
consequence. Lord Byron, so quizzed oi
old by the Eainburg Review, has shown
forth a great luminary in the poetical
world. 'Chiide Harold a sort OF sketch
OF his travels and reflections while en-
gagged in them, has probably reached In
dia. 1t is work Of great poetic talent,
but indicates gloomy and rather misan.
thropical turn Of disposition. 'Childe liar-
old has exhausted the round Of all the
pleasures, licensed and unlicensed, and
wonders TO feel the goblet which he has
drained even to It's luscious dregs, pal
upon his taste when again replenished.-
And pretty nearly the same course OF ex'
perencs which made Solomon of old pro-
claim that all was vanity, induces oul
modern epicurean to quarrel with the sys'
tenn Of the universe, and to disbeleve it'
being guided by supreme benevolence
and wisdom.
Another beautiful and eccentric produc
ton of the same kind is the 'Giaour,' {
Turkish romance. 1t is poelical irag
ment, obscurely written, but aboundine
in high and spirited passages. The tall
is the intrigue OF Christian with the ia
vorite OF Moslem. Hassan murders hi
wife, and the Giaour in revenge, waylay
and kills Hassan, and dies monk with
out having the good fortune to become
penitent. The sentiment OF this poem in
dicates The same deficiency Of virtuou
feeling which throws shade on Child
Harold's' character. The passion, so wei
and powerfully described, is of an un
worthy and bad kind; any shrewdly sus
pect Lord Byron would be improved b.
a drachm OF chivalrous sentiment. and
: quantum suHfch of virtuous and disinter
ested principle added to his very extraor
binary powers Of intellec; and expression

| deadly execution among the ladies OF fash

Winter reclines bis bead upon the lap
OF Autumn; and his snowy locks he filings
Upon her bosom. Closely doth he wrap
His arms around her. till her quiverings
Subsido in death. His voice breaks forth in
wild
And piteous howls, as if he mourned tho
death
OF the meek one who perishod at his breath.
Stern on bis brow tho angry clouds are piled
And bitter are his rago and vengciul spite
And seamen on the rocky coasts at night
Fall victims to his ire At times he seems
to put away bis wrath, and mclted tears
Ron down his icy cheeks in copious streams
But soon anew they freeze, and all bis rage
