      BEAUTIES OF BYRON _, so . iv . lie The Mowing lines , wlucli will remind thc reader oir" "Pore ' s " Universal Prayer" though now _inserte-l iic- tlic " Mows of Idleness , " were not published in o ' tltc original volume . Why they were not included , ? d-j is di fficult to conjecture , as they bear date Deecm-2 _* . her-- V-h , l _^ OO , and the volume of thc "Hours of ¦ ne iSoicfs" was not published until " . larch , 1 S 07 . These s ' lines werc first published in 1 S 3 D—six years after thc _i-t , _* ftsdcatU : — THE PRAYER OF -fATCIlE . Pailicrof "U _giit ! great God of Heaven ! Hcar _' st thou die accents of despair ? Can guilt like -nan '* * be e ' er forgiven " Can vice atone for crimes by prayer I rather of light on thec I call !

      Tiiouseest my soul is dark withm ; _Tiuii wlio canst mark t _* -. e . . parrou ' s fall . Avert froin mc tlic death of sin . 3 Co shrine I seek , to sects unknown ; Oh point to nxe the path of truth I Thy dread omnipotence 1 own ; Spare , yet amend , thc faults of youth . let _higots rear a gloomy fane , let superstition liail the pile , let priests , to spread their sable TCign _, With talcs of mystic rites beguile . Shall man confine bis Maker ' s sway To Gothic domes of mouldering stone 3 Thy temple is the face of day ; Earth , ocean , heaven , thy boundless throne . Shall man condemn his race to -ell , I _' _ldess they bend in pompous form S Tell us that all . for one who fell .

      "Must perish in the mighty storm " Shall each pretend to reach the skies , Yet doom his brother to expire , "Whose soul a different hope supplies , Or doctrines less severe inspire " Shall these hy creeds tliey can't _espouno _* _. Prepare a fancied Miss or woe " Shall reptiles , grovelling on the ground , Their great Creator ' s purpose know i Shall those who live for self alone , _VThose years float on in daily crime—¦ Shall they by faith for guilt atone , And live bejond the bounds of time t 3 ? atlier 3 no prophet ' s laws I _seek—Tliy laws in Xature ' s works appear— . I own myself corrupt and weak , Yet will I pray , for thou wilt hear ! Thou who canst guide the wandering star

      Through trackless realms of—flier ' s space "Who calnvstthe elemental war , Whose hand from pole to pole I trace—Thou , who in wisdom placed me here , "Who , when thou _•**¦ _}¦ , can take me hence , Ah ! whilst I tread this earthly sphere , Extend to me thy wide defence . To Thee , my God , to Thee I call ! Whatever weal or woe betide , „ t Thy command I rise « r fall , * lu Thr protection 1 confide . If -alien this dust to dust ' s restored , My soul shall float on airy wing , Ifow shall thy glorious name adored Inspire her feeble voice to sing ! But , if liis fleeting spirit share , _iVith clay , the grave ' s eternal bed , _Tn-ile life vet throbs , 1 raise my prayer ,

      Though doom'd no more to writ the dead To Thee I breathe my humble strain , Grateful for all tliy mercies past , And hope , my God , to Thee again This erring life may fly at last .

      A FEAGMENT . " Wliei ., to their airy hall , my father ' s voice Shall call my spirit , joyful in tlieir choice ; "When poised upon the gale , my form shall ride ; Or , dark in mist , descend the mountain ' s side ; Oh ! may my shade behold no sculptured urns To mark the spot where earth to earth returns ! Ne lengthen- scroll , no praise-encumber _' d stone ; 3 ly _epitaph shall he my name aloue ; if Gat « itii honour fail to crown my clay , Oh * mar uo other fame my deeds repay !

      The pieces we have given from the Rows of Mencss" afford a fair sample of the merits of this iirst ( volt—ee ) of tbe poet ' s productions . "We may Jiere mention a circumstance , we _believe not generally known , and which will be interesting to our _1-oiidon readers ?

      raisosEas ov the b _^ sthe . It often cecurred that a brief delay , accidental or wilful , entirely changed the ultinate fate ofa captive , and thatthe order for his release , if procured under peculiar tircamstances , was , in the interim , countermanded at the instance of an opposing party : cases _nuinbt-rlf SS , many of them parallel with the following , might be quoted in exemplification : — . " A "Madlle . d'Arblai , a young lady of distinguished parentage , having sought Louis XV . in order to beg her lover ' s release from the Bastiie , in whicli he had been ncarceratcd through the intrigues of one Madame du

      Tremblay , her rival in his affections , and one of the _Kind ' s mistresses , consented to purcftase his liberty at a shameful sacrifice of herself . As she quitted the monarch ' s apartment , she met _JIad-ime du Tremblay , and imprudently exhibited the letter of enianeipatien ; the consequence was , tliat when she went tothe Uastile the next day die was informed by the Governor tliat an order had just reached him _comiiKiiidiiig the young man's further detention dorin ** : the King ' s pleasure , und cancelling « ie mandate for Ms refcasc then in her possession . The unfortunate girl returned home and poisoned lierself . " _^— - i / l'jnoireof _" < - c _< _3 aicj iand of the Court of Louis the Fifteenth .

      THE OUBLIETTES . This word Oubliette is derived from « n Latin oltivia , ¦ whence the French verb ouWer , to forget . An OuUiette was a deep dungeon of triangular foem , dug into the ground , tiie walls _r . iiereof were of stone , the top Was also of st-anc , foMning a trap-door , crjon which the prisoner was purpose ! - ' made to step , -mkI which opening beneath fets feeti saddenly- consi gned liim to a lingering death , without a possibility of nis escaping from liis liorridfate . Cardinal Itichlieu had two -JcH « t ' e < i in his hotel ; fJie Archbishop's palace also contained two , and there were others in the temple . How many _vfctims wcre / _orgeffes * in these frightfeil-dens is a secret that will never be _rewaled .

      O , it was a righteous _retrifeution that doomed the miscreants who were parties to theso atrocities to t _& e overwhelming vengeance , the _rernemtea-ace of -shicli yet strikes witli terror the privileged -classes -of Europe , May _suclibc tiie fate of all , in-all nations , "wlio oppress _tJseir _feHaw-creaturss , and tuaintain their power by tbe bratalisation-irw sla _^ ryof thc masses . _YiveteRevokition ! Appended to these Cltrenieles tliere * is given , in thc shape of an episode , an exciting story of that famed but mysterious _cbxractei' , the _"Alaa with ihe Iron Mask .

      The un ~ ti **_ nate _suflerer attempted to rise talus feet , hut his stre-zgth failed him , _asd he fell backw _& rds upon the bed ; Stifarc immediately assisted him up , placing him in a sitting posture , and _supgovting him in Ms arms . " 0 , Sieur -Governor , " gasped the captive , "laoivery ill . ' " "Tour nigl-ness appears so J" replied the Governor , huskily ; " what can I do !" "Send—send fcr—a—a confessor J" was tiie alaost inarticulate response , and at the same time the suffer _ r ' s head fell heavily npon St . Marc ' s shoulder , a spasmodic shudder convulsing his frame , his bands being nervoucly elutched . The hoary gaolee did not attempt to move ; mccluu _nijally raising the eaptive _' s head , he fired his eyes upon the distorted features , "iusiously noting every change that passed over them .

      An awful pause of more than half a minute ensued , dining which the prisoner gasped for breath several times , renewing his efforts to speak , his gaze "being riveted reproachf ully upon St . —— ; at length , recovering momentary energy , he suddenly disengaged himself from his gaoler ' s grasp , and stood upright ; hut his eye was vacant and glassy , his mouth pinched up , and his lipg were parched and irhite ; all at once his jaw dropped ; for a single second lie remained motionless , then tottered , and with a deep gurgling groan , sunk heavily to the ground . And thus tlic Iron "Mask breathed his last . St . Marc stood for a minute or two gazing at the body , and having satisfied himself that the last spark of life had lieu , stealthily iiuitted the apartment .

      At eight o ' clock on the evening of that day , a coach drove into the outer court of the _diatcau , from which _ali-jiitcd I * -rgenson . who , bavin * " exchanged a feu * words i . vit . i some person within , proceeded to the council-chain _, ber , where he found St . Marc and Corbe waiting to receive him ; without a word being said , thc three atonce directed tlieir steps to the dead man ' s chamber , the Governor leading the way , Corbe coming last , bearing a torch aud a large basket . At the foot ofthe Bertaudiere toner tliey were joined hy two of the fiortc-dffs carrying a rudely constructed shell which they took up to the door of the cell and left there , Corbe and St . Marc dragging it in after the men had departed , the latter locking the door .

      D'Argenson crossed over to the spot where the body st ill lay—for it had not heen removed—and taking the torch from Ku ' s hand , held it close to the face , considering It awhile without the slightest _alter-. ition of feature ; not so St . Marc , who became fearfully agitated , though lie strove to conceal Ids trepidation , whilst CovbGbetrayed no symptom of any emotion , save of curiosity gratified . All at once the Lieutenant of Police turned abruptly about , and hade Corbe light the fire , signing to St . Marc to strip the _ci- ' . sc tbe while , lie _hiinsclfgoiiig round the cell , and , by thc aid of the torch , examining the walls , which the prisoner had covered with inscriptions of fearful import , and the various articles that were strewn about , castiug all those that were combustible iu a heap into the middle of the floor .

      St . Marc having aceonipJisiicd Ins oomns task , now _--.-sisted D'Argenson iu ransacking the buses in which the pi isoner ' s apparel was _la-pr _, the whole of whicli , to the verv smallest object , was in Vilte manner turned out in a heap , _-ireparatory to being destroyed : but llie most revolting i _^ art remains to be told . On a word from the _Lieuttnant of Police , Corbe tooli out from his basket , first , several large logs of wood , then a heavy ham "ner , a chisel , some nails , an adze , a large knife , and _lastl *• ' a miantity of < uiick-liiiie , a pat tion . of

      which he emptied into the shell , then , with Ll Argenson stnudin _** over him thc while , and St . Mare holding the torch , "began to imu-atc the dead body , severing it limb from limb , the head / i'oiii the trunk , the hands aud feet from their correspond '!*? member-, _xxot leaving even a single feature recognisable ,- and , to crown all . cleaving the skull in tiro ; he afterward * - -rammed the mangled carcase Jnto the shell , covering it with the remainder OI the lime , anil oomph-ted his ' -.-Icons .. ¦¦ .. Ly _nailiii _* , ' down the lid , first taking the precaution o . ** washing his hands and his arm . ** , bared to nbove thc _elb-iw , and covered with

      blood : this done , the Governor assisted lum in conveying the corpse to the landing , wheie they left it * "Thou ar t sure , Sieur Governor , - ' . _** aid D'Argenson , when they re-entered the cell , " that every"article that belonged to the prisoner , or was used hy h - " is in tliis chiUutei " "I am , Monseigneur ! " replied St . Marc ; " ? iis Imen , his plate , his books , everything is here !" " Then do thou , " resumed the l . kutenaiit of _Tolice , addressing Corbe , " see that every article he _destroy . _" _* d : _leavc not a rag , not a vestige ; burn everything ; break up _tii -j p late aud melt it ; let Ms bed and bedding be also h _ -. 1 t -: Jeave nothing hut the bare walls , and them , Sicnr Co . . - _* _-qg- ' » see to have scraped , and whitened afterwards ; sec too , that this _flooiiug be taken up and destroyed , and another p 'tt down in its place ; above all , let no one exxter this cell till all has been doue ; 1 shall come to-morrow to cc how my * r < l" « have been executed !

      _Tnat -BiGUERnE wan really the discoverer of the p-rocess . whicli bears his name is mi true . " The discovery was made by _Baptista Porta as far back as 165- } , and . was subsequently used in this country by _Wesceitoob , Sir II . iXivr , and Sir Astuoxt Carus - . - - * , more than forty years ago . Again , in 1827 , M . Niepce c __ e to England , aud conimunicatcd to the Royal Society an account of his experiments , together with several pictures on metal plates ( now in thc possession of Di % fi . _Brow-v , of the British Museum ) , spontaneously produced by the action of light in the camera obscura . Lastly , Mr . Fox Taisot may more justly than _DAC-JCnnE Jay claim to the actual discovery , not only of the paper process , but of thc metallic , as it was well known that in 1 S 38 he had discovered a method of rendering a silver plate sensitive to light , by exposing it to iodine , " and _DAcuEunE's _nrocess was not _kaot * .-n until August , 283 J _" * , just

      twelve months afterwards . " B . \ oi * EnnB certainly may claim thc merit of having effected a vast improvement on the original discovery , for wliich he lias been handsomely rewarded , _BuWl—tavevmy have been his improvements , they do not justify the retention ofthe art in his own hands , or those of his agents , to thc exclusion of the public generally in this country , he having : ' voluntarily given up his secret to the French Government , who generously gave it to the world at largo . But this is not all : an attempt has been made by the patentee to prevent scientific men in this country making use ofthe improvements effected by tliem on _Djcuerre ' s "discovery . " That attempt , ' however _, has / ailed ; thc injunction which had been procured against Mr . EGEmo- * to prohibit him selling the apparatus , was dissolved on the 2 nd of June last , and Mr . _Beabd , tllC monopoliser , condemned to pav thc

      costs ou both sides . For much curious information connected ivith the monopoly of the Daguerreotype in this country , we must refer the reader to the work itself . That thc patentee should cling to his monopoly is not to bo wondered at , when it is considered what arc the enormous profits made thereby . In a circular , written by thc patentee , wherein hc sets forth the many inducements for a person to buy a license to work the process in the eountry , he gives the following scale of profits on the portraits : — Charged onc guinea—profit ISs . „ Thirty sliillings „ 25 s .

      „ fwo guineas ,, Sis . < Four guineas „ 70 s . exclusive of tlte charge of os . for colouring cach portrait , the cost of which is not a penny ! Tlic entire " process of producing Daguerreotype portraits and Photographic pictures is fully developed in this work , and in sueh plain terms , that be who runs may read , and lie who reads must understand . Full directions aro also given as to wliere , and of whom thc apparatus and necessary materials for the process may be obtained . This little work is very neatly printed , and sold at aprice within thc means of all . Wc regard thc author as a public benefactor , and trust that his efforts to destroy thc monopoly exposed by him may be successful . To that end wc have much pleasure ill _l'C _* commending this work to ourrcadcrs .

      Pl'KCll AAD THE "PICKERS AKD STEALERS . " _TtCE-CirAXCELLOU'S COUHT . —Saichdav , July 28 . Refore Sir L . Shadwell . Mr . _Bethell ( with _wlioni WHS Mr . Webster ) said that there had been reserved for the close of the proceedings in this court two cases which had been only now put into his hand * . It was Lis duty to apply for two injunctions on behalf of a very distinguished individual who had been the delight of his honour's boyhood , and was now the solace of his more matured years , and lie ( Mr . Bethell ) felt certain , that his honour would < rr . int ( these injunctions with greater

      satisfaction than any he had granted lor thc last year . The individual for whom hc appeared was no iess than Punch himself , who liad been compelled to come into this court to vindicate his right . For a long time Punch , Jiko every other personage of pre-eminent merit , from Homer down , had been the subject of base and unworthy imitators ; but so long ns tlic misdoers had confined themselves to imitating , Punch had been satisfied by gibbeting them in his pages , and accordingly many of their plebeian countenances liad been handed down to posterity like flics in amber . Punch had hitherto been satisfied to explain ! with Horace . _*—

      " 0 imitatores , servum pecus , Ut mihi _SiCpO Dilem , _sicjiejoenm vestri inovere tumultus , " assured that it would be easy to _distimruish the sterling field from the base metal . At length , finding that the offenders wcre insensible to shame , it became _-jecessary for Punch ' s protection to resort to weapons _ xore suitable to meet tliem . Punch had latterly heen assailed , not only by imitation , but by barefaced plundering , by which his inimitable productions were transferred word for word into the p anes of other periodicals without even thc noor

      excuse of an _acknowle . 'lgraentof the source whence they were derived . His honour was well aware that , in the gallery of beings witli whicli wc were acquainted , Punch had recently added to ideal _pen-oriXges , in the characters of thc renowned Mr . aiid Mrs . Caudle , which would be handed down to posterity so long as matrimonial life should _snbsbt . But already had these distinguished indiv iduals been clipped of tlieir symmetrical proportions by the unscrupulous shears of authors ot melo-dramas and scribblers in obscure periodicals ; tliese celebrated lectures had adorned _ovfi-y publication oftfic dav : but _I'lttorh' . _'ome

      persons had become so hardened as to transfer them to then * own columns just as tlicy wcre published , as if they were the authors . His honour knew well the eighth lecture delivered just after Mi * . Caudle ' s return from his induction as a mason . _TJie whole of that lecturo , whicli lua honour remembered too well to make repetition accessary , had been copied »«• - Oati ; n into the _Jltrcfox-dshire Times , ofthe 10 th of July . Again , the ninth lecture , delivered on the occasion of Mr . Caudle ' s trip to Greenwich fair , had been transferred _, into the same journal , so that here were the people of Hereford deluded , by this plebeian publisher , into believing that these inimitable illustrations ot connubial tenderness wcre the production of a provincial newspaper . But the matter had not rested

      here . His honour knew that as we desire to have some resemblance of those by whom wc have been delighted and charmed , and also that there might be some iue ; . ion " al of the bright images of our time , Punch had lately published delineations of Mrs . and Mr . Osv ' - _'dlc , designed to convey to those who wcre not _stdiiciently imaginative in themselves , the features -of this _celebivt' ; oi pair . Here , Sir ( continued the teivncd counsel with much animation}—here are thc " portraits of Mr , -and Mrs . Caudle . [ Tke sketch was handed up to his honour , amid peals of laughter . ] You may mark _cws- _* _, * _feature—j-ou may trace every lecture in cacli tttra <* iul wrinkle of Iier _ee-mtenance _, _trni particularly _j-e tier iiiimital / fc nose .

      10 THE JIEMUEnS OP THE CIUnTIST _cO-OPEnATIVIS USD SOCIETV . FniEXDs ,-Despite the malignant efforts of interested scribblers , circumstances augur that success must crown our Land project . Indeed , the opposition offered by the luminaries of Lloyd ' s lias been productive of benefit instead of damage to the movement _, ft has aroused a spirit of inquiry which has discovered the excellency of the plan , as well as the ignorance or duplicity of its assailants . The rapid progress wliich the plan has already made in public estimation affords strong ground for hoping its ultimate success .

      The principles upon which tho plan is based arc so simple ; the advantages which it guarantees arc so ample * , thc cost at whieh such advantages aro to be realised are so trilling , that it must commend itself to tho favour of all tfiiniung men . The puny opposition of IIill , Carpenter , Watkins , -fee ., has been torn to shreds by tho conclusive reasoning of Mr . O'Connor . He has put these valiant knights of the quill completely hovs de combat , except Atawovm Watkins , who labours week after week to display his virulence and ignorance . But the opposition ot this driveller , this assassin of honest men ' s characters , is too contemptible for serious notice . Tlic matter ol wonder is , how his tnrgid trash obtains insertion iu the columns even oi * such a paper as Lloyd ' s . Let the lachryuioy _* . Watkins condole with liis ' friends ( if

      hc has any ) * . let lum mourn over the fact that _malgre all his endeavours at obstruction , progression , clini' _. _tetcriscs the Land Society . It numbers iqnvards of 2 , 000 members , and has one thousand pounds safely lodged in its treasury . Watkins may just as well attempt to write common sense letters , as impede thc progress of the Land Society . ft has within it the elements of durability ; its basis is sound ; its object just . Watkins had better therefore direct his ' destructive genius against some objec t pervious to his puny attach " . Two thousand have honoured lite project with their tonfidence ; and I venture to predict , that when Watkins and his opposition are both consigned to the tomb oi' thc _Capulcts , myriads will bless the day on which was ushered into existence the Chartist _Co-onerafive Land Association .

      Tliere is a class ot opponents who _OU't'Ci * to tlio Land plan from a pretended love of Chartism . Thev urge that it will detach from the Chartist ranks " ; that it will divert the people ' s attention from their political wrongs . For my part I cannot discover anv force in this reasoning . It may be thus put in logical form : the people are sociall y wretched , but the people arc politically enslaved ; therefore , the people should not attempt social inciioration till tlicil * -political grievances are redressed ! What vapid ' nonsense ! Nay , what positive cruelty ! Consider the myriads whose lives have been one monotonous scene of slavery ; whose health and industry has been heaped as sacrifice upon thc alt ? . rs of Plutus ; and then say whether a society designed and calculated not only to niit / gatethc rigours of their condition , but to place them in circumstances of comfort unci independence , is not entitled to popular confidence and support . Why the business of life is the promotion

      of ouv moral , mental , and physical welfare . There , then , isanvojcct ' _calcidatcdto realise tliese ends—a . project which may be carried out without the sacrifice of one iota of principle ; and yet , men claimine the character of philanthropists give it their determined opposition ! I yield to no man in devotion to the cause of Chartism , or in admiration of its sublime principles ; and yet I feel myself perfectly justi fied in advising my brother Chartists to seize every circumstance winch augurs an amelioration of their condition . Lot tr , by the agency of ouu society endeavour to obtain as much land as possible ; let us give to the world an undeniable proof of the blessin"S which tlic possession of ( he land would confer up « n tha people ; and thus give a powerful stimulus to their efforts to gain those long lost rights , thc want of which renders them the victims of fund-lords , profitton-, midland-lords . _Pkilu * _M- _'Guatu .
