      Holland : " I am told , sir , that you hare commenced a poem on ' "Woman ;' pray hovr does it proceed ! "—Montgomery : " Not at all ; I certainly once entertained some idea of the kind , and even wrote a long episode on a very interesting And affecting instance of female trial and constancy . But I was at a loss for a title : I thought of the * Worth of Woman , * but that , you perceive , is too tame and prosaic . "' Holland : " I am busy with a , poem on ' Matrimony , ' and should like to "beg your episode . " Montgomery : " I dare say it -would suit your purpose , but I shall probably use it on some occasion myself . " Such memorabilia abound . Did Mr . Holland , on reaching home , write down these conversations in his journal as too precious to be lost ? If so , it gives one a lively idea of the conversation which was not thought worthy of preservation . The extracts from the Iris are , as may be supposed , very tiresome ; although , at the time of their publication , the articles may have been thought highly of . Here is one specimen—we dare venture on no more—of what Montgomery—dear kind creature—meant for sarcasm , and what his editors think worth quoting . To render it intelligible we should state that it is a reply to an article in the Leeds Intelligencer , May , 1816 , which closed with comparing Wellington and the Iris , in the style of jocularity then thought highly hilarious—thus : " Sure such a pair ! 'ha ! ha ! ha ! " Upon this Montgomery writes : — " In this sally of wit , argument , and eloquence , the editor of the Iris regrets only one thing—but that is nothing—the little blank at the close , between the word ' pair' and the admiration stop ; for though he acknowledges that even that blank is so judiciously placed as to have more meaning in it than all the context , it is a great pity that his worthy brother , from , an excess of modesty ( for who dares question his courage ?) , should have forborne to show how much point he could have put in so small a space . As it is , the paragraph resembles a blind-worm , without a sting ; or rather , what is vulgarly called a petrified snake , of which thousands have been found about Whitby , but never a one yet with a head-piece . " It may be imagined that although there is plenty to laugh at in these volumes there is little worth extracting for its own sake . Here , however , is

      a passage from one of the poet ' s Utters , which may be of interest—to poets : — " I have sold none of my copyrights ; they are entirely my own : Longman and Co . publish all at their own expense and hazard , and annually divide profits with me . I have received about sixteen hundred pounds from them ; and this includes one hundred and eighty pounds presented to me , at three different time 3 , over and above my share of profits . I have good reason I think to expect that my new volume will , in two years , produce me from £ 300 to £ 400 ; and , if it takes with the public , £ 100 yearly for some time afterwards . "

In the Foreign marker , there is but little doing . Turkish 6 per cent , nearly the same . The railway market is decidedly firmer ; bargains are not numerous , but the tone of the market is better . Mines continue to attract but little speculation . A few stray bargains in Fort Bowen and Waller Gold , Libertys , &c . The dealings in English mines are brisk enough outside the Stock Exchange ; a few bargains are done in the " House . " Alfred Consols , Sortridges , Lady Bertha , and North Barrett , are some of the most prominent Joint stock banks are firm . General Screw Steam shares lirmer ; indeed all the steam companies' shares command good prices The Government contracts of course are highiy remunerative , and good dividends may be looked for .

      M . JULLIEN : FALL OF SEBASTOPOL . Of course M . Jullien celebrates , " after his kind , " the "Fall of Sebastopol . " The Fall would not be historically complete without his ratification of the event by a Quadrille . On the present occasion , he has grouped a series of brilliant instrumental episodes , with really less noise and more music than might have been expected . As a tour deforce it is surpassingly clever , and the manner equally ingenious and happy , in which the soli for the cornets , flutes , and clarionet , and ophicleide are introduced , gives a brightness and a piquant to the performance which amply atone for the horrors of the big drums . It is worth a pilgrimage to behold Jullien himself , an instrumental Mars , dispensing the thunders of the mimic war . And his programme ought to drive a Barnum or an Ossian to despair . If any constant reader of the diurnal bluster which is supposed to represent the national will desires to study public opinion in its unauthorised but sincere expression , let him observe the comparative coldness with which the " Fall of Sebastopol " is received at Covent Garden . lie may there begin to observe the reaction against the war-fanaticism of last year . This reaction is not acknowledged by the " hisses" of the jobbers and contractors who scouted the name of libertv in the presence of the French Ambassador at the Mansion House , but it pervades all society , and echoes , with fainter and fainter applause , the drums and trumpets of Marshal Jullien .
