      And noise of fluttering sails and coiling ropes . She saw the oars uplifted ; she beheld One like a king , with lingering step yet firm , Ascend the vessel ' s side ; she heard him Speak And knew he / gave the signal to depart . , ¦ Then as the white waves flasht around the keel , She watcht the vessel shake her snowy wings , Until it past beyond the utmost star Which the sea touches , running round the sky . But soon with melancholy step she left

      The doleful barren shore , where seabirds scream Round baffling cliffs ; and took her lonely way Thro ' the brown shade of overhanging woods , Nor lingered until near an ample lake , Her steps were stayed . Here towered a regal elm " Pictured distinct in the transparent flood . : And where above the mossy ground it spread Thickest and heaviest a green roof of leaves , The mourner paused , and with a sudden cry , Fell prone as one that hath no friend but Death .

      Officialism is habitually slow . When nongovernmental agencies are dilatory , the public has its remedy ; it ceases to employ them , and soon finds quicker ones . Under this discipline all private bodies are taught promptness . But for delays in Statedepartments there is no such easy cure . Life-long Chancery suits must be patiently borne ; Museumcatalogues must be hopelessly waited for . Whilst , by the people themselves , a Crystal Palace is designed , erected , and filled , in the course of a few months , the legislature takes twenty years to build itself a new house . Whilst by private persons , the debates are daily printed and dispersed over the kingdom within a

      few hours of their utterance , the Board of Trade tables are regularly published a month , and sometimes more , after date . And so throughout . Here is a Board of Health which , since 1849 , has been about to close the metropolitan graveyards , but has not done it yet j and which has so long dawdled over projects for cemeteries , that the London Necropolis Company has taken the matter out of its hands . Here is a patentee who has had fourteen years' correspondence with the Horsejjuards before getting a definite answer respecting the use of his improved boot for the Army . Here is a Plymouth port-admiral who delays sending out to look for the missing boats of the Amazon untile ten days after the wreck .- —Westminster Review for July .

      HEALTH OF LONDON DUEING THE WEEK . Iir the week that ended on Saturday 1004 deaths were registered , —a result which , though not unfavourable as compared with the usual mortalit y of the season in London , again , gives indication of that increase which is characteristic of the summer mortality of towns as distinguished from that of the country . The deaths returned in the last three weeks were successively 904 , 971 , and 1004 . In the ten corresponding weeks of the years 1843-52 the average number of deaths was 1068 , which , with a correction for increaso of population , gives a mortality of 1175 . This series of weeks embraces the high mortality from cholera in 1849 , and the average is therefore greater than it would be if derived exclusively from years less remarkable for epidemic disease .

      Last week the births of 769 boys and 752 girls , m all 1521 children , wero registered in London . The average number in eight corresponding weeks of the years 1845-52 was 1344 ' . At the Royal Observatory , Greenwich , the mean height of tho barometer in the week was 29 * 696 in . The reading of tho barometer decreased from 29-66 in . at the beginning of tho week to 29 * 62 in . by lOh . P .

      MONEY MARKET AND CITY INTELLIGENCE . Friday Evening , August 5 , 1853 . The settling of the account engrossed the attention of the Stock Exchange during the . middle of last week , and very few bargains were effected . This _ week there has been a considerable deal of speculative transactions in the funds . They stood about 98 J to i , on Monday . Yesterday , in consequence of the unsettled state , they bad receded to 97 $ to i , but , in the afternoon , they rallied a little . To-day they are steady , up to the present hour , at 97 £ to f . Money is said to be scarce , and there has been some talk of tho Bank' beiug likely to raise their rate of interest . Yesterday passed over without any notice from the directors . The gold export to the continent continues unremittingly . The root of utter unbelief that prevails in the City , on the Eastern question , having other than a pacific solution , is very remarkable . Our men of ingots have lived so long in peace , they cannot realize the possibility of this , to them , overpowering calamity . It upsets their evory-day ideas , and , still worse , to turtle-feeders , their digestion . Tho fall , should war really tako place , will bo severe : all shares must give way , even French shares , tho holders of which seem to possess unbounded confidence—witness tho marvellous buoyancy of these securities during tho Into gloom and depression . Even they havo been alFected this last week , and the leading lines havo sustained about 11 . fall . English shares aro heavy , and whispers aro abroad of bad dividends on tho two' great lines—Birmingham and Groat Western . Even should no war occur , with a moderate harvest , and so many adventures in hand as the public at present has , I boo but little rise in prospect for bond jide and wellfounded achemoB . Tho Australian land companies aro something flatter , save tho Scottish Investment Company , not to l > o mistaken with tho North-British Australian Laud and Loan Company . Tho former haa declared a dividend of nearly 20 vor cent ., nnd their shares command 200 per cent , premium . Tho latter , from bad management , and some other causes , havo novor paid a dividend , yet with as fair prospects and as valuable property as tho Scottish . Thoro will bo a rino thoro some day , if I am not mistaken . Jamaica copper-mining shares aro low , and no advance to be looked for . I may at ) well mention that one of tho reasons assigned for tlio extraordinary buoyancy of French Hharon , is ttaid to bo tho purchase of them , in thin market and in Paria , by tho Socliti Mobilise . It in not impossible , an wo know tho origin , and wlio tho founders of this groat Htoek-jobbing concern woro , with great power and small HoruploB , that they nuiy have turned nil these advantages to account , and aro making our " Bears" pay for their imprudence . Californian minon are a shade lowor ; Australian ditto really uiiHaloable . Canal and Gas-Company nharctj maintain their value Half-pant throe : Consols leavo off' 97 fl { , 97 A- Very little buainoun doing .
