      - THE SOCIAL FLOWER . There grows a strong and noble flower In Britain ' s genial soil ; Its root—the source of life and power—We trace in those -who toll . In commerce we distinctly see The stem of feir renown , Its Leaves—the Aristocracy , The Flower is "the Crown . " All time , all labour ' s vainly spent , Unless the whole be free " ; To give the Stem its nourishment The Boot wants Liberty . If then in strength you'a have it grow , Put forth its bods and shoot , Heed neither Leaves nor Flov . er , but know The secret ' s in the Root .

      Cramp not the Root—give scope and room-Sot niggardly , by stealth—The Flower wDl then in beauty bloom , The Leaves show signs of health . Confine the Root , attempt to coop Its powers in any vrav , The Leaves must fade , the Flower will droop . The Stem itself decay . Oh , ve in pow ' t ! give ear to grief , Assist the labouring poor ; 'Tis they wholinock and claim relief At Legislation ' s door .

      Their waning vigour oh ! recruit , Learn to be timely wise ; The toiling thousands form the Root Where your existence lies . JerroVCs Magaiint

I hardly wonder that the Playhou ** don ' t flourish , when there's such capital actors w all sons m the Hwisi-s of Parliament .

      I had just been reading an account of two or three more Maynootl , meetings , where some of the speakers talked about the true and the false religion , as though themselves had a sole and certain knowledge of wl . at was true-what false : I had just been reading all this , when my eye jell upon a paragraph headed , "Lord Rosst's Xelescope .- Lord Rosse , you must know , is one of those noblemen who do not pull off knockers—knock down cabmen—and always take a front seat at the Old Bailev on a trial for murder . No : he has been making an enormous telescope ; and theparagrap h I write of , says-Marvellous rumours are afloat respecting the astronomicald ^ covenesmade by Lord Rosse ' s monster telescope . It is said Oat Regulus , instead of being a sphere , is ascer S ^ < n ^ 5 - ' StraOger * > that the ^ iu the belt of Orion is a universal system-a sun , with planets moving round it , as the earth and her feU « w-orbs move round our glorious luminary . "

      > ow , at OP . etime , amanmighthavebeenbumtalive for taking it upon himself to say that Regulus was not a sphere , bm a disc ; and that Orion ( I knownothing about him , save and except that a marvellousl y fine poem , price one farthing , was lately published with his name , ) did not wear m his belt any nebula , but a universal system ! La grandmother ! when I read of these things , I feel a mixture of pain and pity for men that , instead of having then- hearts and spirits tuned by the harmony that God is always playing to them —( and they won't hear it , the leathern-eared sinners !) -tliink of nothing but swearing that one thing- Sa disc , and the other a nebula ,-when they onl y look through small glasses , wanting the great telescope to show ' em the real truth ! And so no more , from your affectionate grandson , Jumper Hedgebog .

      P . S . —I blush for myself , that I had almost forgotten to tell you that Doctor Wolff has come back , safe and sound , from the innermost part of India ; where he went to try to save the lives of two Englishmen , Stoddart and Conolly . It was like going into a tiger's den to take flesh from the wild beast . And yet the stout-hearted man went ! Such an act makes us forget the meanness ana folly of a whole generation ! Captain Grover—a heart of gold , that!—has published a book on the matter , called The BoVktra TvAims . As no doubt the New York publishers—in their anxiety to diffuse knowledge—have already published it for some five cents , do not fail to read it As for Doctor Wolff , I wonder what Englishmen will do for him ? If he'd come back from India after cutting twenty thousand throats , why , he might have had around of dinners , diamond-hiltcd swords , wine-coolers , as big as buckets , and so on : as it is , I fear nothing can be done for him . However , we shall see .

      DOUGLAS JERROLD'S SHILLLXG MAGAZINE . —M « . There is but little to find fault with in this number : the less the better , for fault-finding is anything but a pleasing task . The articles are mostly ably written , and breathe throughout that truth-seeking , philanthropic , and cosmopolitan spirit for widen tliis Magazine is already so distinguished . The only exception is the article headed " TheNovel Blowers , " which , to us , seems a rhapsody of nonsense—a striu « of sentences run mad . The Editor ' s story , " St . Gilesand St . James , " is continued withundhninisbeu interest . In consideration of his youth , St . Giles

      escapes hanging , and is sentenced to be transported instead . Air . Jerrold ' s comments on the hanging system of the " good old times , " when unfortunate wretches were , for nearly ever ^ y description of offence , strong up in dozens , and his eloquent appeals for the completion of the good work commenced in our day—the abolition of death-punishments , will find an echo in the breasts of thousands of the present generation . Yes , thousands will respond to , thousands will aid , in the accomplishing of Mr . Jerrold ' s bless d prediction : — " The time will come , as surely as the sun of far-off years , when justice shall lay down hermvrd—Khm ui& better wisdom , the ( hall vindicate her awful mission to mankind , yet shed no drop of

      "HowwffiitLook ? " is an excellent article , worthy die special attention of the fair sex , who would save themselves many cares and vexations by attending to ibewholesomeadvicecontainedtherein . "Cathedral Pennies" is a well-timed and much needed exposure of the disgraceful system of enforcing a tariff ofprices for admission into our public buildings , particularly the cathedrals and minsters of this country . This system , so disgraceful to tie established priesthood , is productive , however , of one good result—it serves to bring them into contempt ; and the sooner they in common with the priests of all sects , come to be universally despised , the better for the true interests and happiness of mankind . * " Impressions of a late Trial for Murder" is a dear

      concise , and able resume of the proceedings of Hocker ' s trial . It is hard to disbelieve a dying man : bnt , in spite of his last declarations to the contrary , our belief in Hocker ' s guilt is unshaken—and the article before us but confirms our belief . We , however , cannot agree with the writer in this Magazine , that if Hocker ' s trial "be a sample of other criminal trials , no one who is innocent can by any possibility be hanged for murder . " It is notorious that in days gone by innocent men fate been hanged ; and there is strong reason for believing that an innocent maninnocent at least of murder—was hanged only a few months ago . We allude to William Howell ,

      hanged at Ipswich for shooting apolice officer . After Howell ' s death the gaol-chaplain admitted his belief of the poor creature ' s innocence of the charge of murder , but justified his execution on the ground that he was a great sinner ! Such legal murders may accord with priestly notions of justice , but do not accord with ours . Independent of all other considerations therefore , justice—yes justice , demands that the life of man should not be taken away , seeingthatthepunishment may be as unjust , and as undeserved , as it is barbarous and demoralising . It is only fair to add , that the author of the " Impressions , &e . " is , as well as ourselves , an advocate for the abolition of deatlirunishments .

      The third chapter of " A History for Young England" gives the history of the Government of the Conqueror , and is rich with historical facts but too little known . From the poetical contents we have given a specimen above . Several reviews close the number ; that on Thiers * " History of the Consulate and Empire , " is at once the most profound and just we have yet read . For our extract we take the following from " The Hedgehog Letters" by the editor .

      THE 3 UTS 00 IH QUESTION . To 3 f « . EcdgeUg , of New Tori : Dear Grandmother , —You ought to be in England just now , we're in such a pleasant pucker . The Church is in danger again ! I have myself known her twenty times in peril , —but now , she really is at the very edge of destruction . You know there ' s a place called Maynooth College , where they bring up Roman Catholic priests for the use of Ireland . AVell , there ' s a lot of folks , who will have it that this College is no bit better than certain tanks rvereadofinlndia , where they breed young crocodiles to be worshipped by people who taiow no better . Sir Robert Peel intends to give £ 2 C , 000 a year to this

      placeit used to have an annual grant of £ 9 , 000—that the scholars may be increased in number , and that they may be better taught and more comfortably boarded and lodged . Well , the members of the Church of Englandalthough here and there they have grumbledat the matter , and hare called the Pope names that pass in small change at Billingsgate—have been mute as fish compared to the Dissenters . It is they who have fought the fight ; it is they who have raised the price of parchment by darkening the House ot Commons with clouds of petitions . It is they who have risen lo a man , ana have patted the British Lion , and twisted his tail , and goaded him—as you'd set a bull dog on a cat—to tear Popery to pieces .

      If s a settled belief with a good many pious people , who are as careful of their religion as of their best service of china , only using it on holiday occasions , for fear it should get chipped or flawed in working-day wear—it ' s a belief with them that a Papist is a sort of human toadan abomination is the form of man . Doctor Croly has surely a notion of this sort . A few days ago he appeared on Covent-garden stage ( I think his first appearance there since his comedy of Pride shall hate a Jail ) , and called cpon the Lord , with thunder and lightning , and the sword , to loll his enemies—meaning Roman Catholics ! And then theDoctor showedhow Providence had punished aD naughty kings who had cast an eye of favour on the

      Pope . Capping this , the Doctor taorethan hinted that George the Fourth— -the first gentleman in Europe , for he had a greater number of coats than all the rest of the lungs put together—was somewhat suddenly called from his loving people , because he had passed the BM that ' mancipated the Catholics . Well , when we think how many Catholics there are hi the world—when we remember the millions of ' em scattered about the earth—it does appear to me a little bold in a worm of a man ( whether the said worm wears clergyman ' s black or not ) praying to the Lord to destroy , crush , burn , whole nations of men and women , because he wasn't born to think as they do . But so it is with some folks , very proud indeed of their Christianitv .

      But I suppose Doctor Croly , Mr . M'Xeile , and such * o ! k 5— who seem to read their Bibles by the bine light of ^ nistone—believe that the extra money given to the 8 < -man Catholic priests of Ireland will only be so much powder and Ehot with which they may bring down Prol « tants . Well , if money is to make converts , what has &e Irish Protestant Church been about , that has always had a full money-bag at her girdle , and more than that , plenty of leisure to reclaim the fallen ? She has always had a golden crook whereby to bring stray lambs into the fold , —ma Tet has added nothing to her flock .

      ^ Sow , according to my opinion , the folks who abuse Maynooth ought rather to feel glad that more money is to ** given to her priests , seeing what an abundance of money , and good things purchased by money , have done for the Irish Prctestant Church . It has become slow as n has become fet Stuff even a pulpitcnshion with bank-J ^ and it is strange to see how religion will sleep upon « And , therefore , people ought to rejoice that the Catholic priest is to be made a little comfortable in worldly matters ' * * « « * But there ' s a sort of people in the world that can't bear faking any nroeress . I wonder they ever walk , unless

      ™« S walk backwards ! I wonder they don't refuse to go ™ when there ' s a new moon , —and all out of love and '"P ^ t for that " ancient institution , " the old one . But Z ? /^ ways were such people , grandmother—always ™ " «¦ When ludfers first came in , how many old women , staunch old souls many of ' em worthy to be ^ embers of Parliament—stood by their matches and ^ ow-boxes , and cried out " So surrender ! " And how " ^ J of these old women—disguised in male attireevery day go about at public meetings , professing to be « ady to die for any tinder-boi question that may come " * *«« , ready—quite ready to die for it : all the readier ,

      GEORGE CRUIKSHANK'S TABLE-BOOK . May . The illustrations to this entertaining publication are , as usual , excellent . The subject of the large steel engraving is "The Demon of 1845 "—the demon" being the incarnation of the present railway speculating mania . There is another " Demon of 1845 , " wliich we would gladly see satirised by the inimitable George—the demon which moves thousands to revel in the blood and deatk-throes of their fellow-creatures . When these thousands rush to the scene of some abominable murder , or throne and mess

      tor hours together to " enjoy" the sight of the last moments of some miserable wretch condemned to a violent death as a punishment for his crimes , surely they must be possessed with some demon of the most diabolical order—a demon which we would fain see exorcised from the face of the earth . Amongst the literary contents of the Table-Book , we have been much amused by the Editor's description of "The Stage Assassin , " the tale of the ' Puce-coloured Larp , and particularly by the sequel to " Betty Morrison ' s Pocket-Book . " From "Leavesfrom a , new edition of Lempriere , " we give the following specimens of

      CLASSICS FOR THE MILLION . Ancics , a famous glutton in Home , who ate a leg of mutton and trimmings against Horace for a trifling wager . There were three of the same name , all famous for their voracious appetite , and it was fortunate that they did not all live in the same reign , for if they had all flourished and gormandised together , a famine might have been the consequence . The second was the most illustrious , for he vsrote a cookery-book , which included a celebrated recipe for hashing a hecatomb . After dissipating nearly all his fortune in eating , he went and hanged himself , like a greedy boy who had spent all his money in tarts , and went into a corner to cry his eyes out .

      Archimedes , a celebrated geometrician , of Syracuse , and original inventor of the invisible shell ; the advantage of his invention over that of Captain Warner consisting in the fact that Archimedes really did what the captain only talked about . When the town was taken , orders were given to save the philosopher , but a soldier killed him by mistake ; and Jfarcellus raised a cylinder , which is something like a pea-shooter , to his memory . Archimedes used to boast that he had an apparatus for moving the earth , which , by-the-bje , he might have done to a certain extent with an ordinary shovel . He said that all he required was a purchase , but no one seemed disposed to become the purchaser . There is a screw called by his name , which would seem to imply that he had dealt in doubtful horses , or was of a somewhat stings character .

      TAIT'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE-May . In this number is concluded Mrs . Joiixstoxe ' s exciting and interesting story of "Celts and Saxons ; or , the Goldsmith ' s Daughter , " which will add fresh wreaths to those already won by the authoress . " The Spring Novels" introduce us to some pleasant reading . An elaborate review of Thiers " History of France under Napoleon" will supply the reader of tliis Magazine with all the points of the French politician ' s great work , so far as yet published . We have been delighted with a story concerning a Portuguese fiddler ( translated from the Portuguese ) contained in this number ; it is the most delicious little morsel of a love tale we have read for some time past . " The Disturbances in Switzerland" we have best shown our appreciation of , by transferring to our columns : the reader will find it entire in our seventh

      page , under the head of "Foreign Movements . " " Prospect ef a Poor Law for Scotland" is an able paper , breathing the right sort of spirit . We would gladly have extracted from it , but having already made our selection , we cannot afford further room ; we may , however , return to it on another occasion . In the "Politics of the Month , " the Maynooth , the Post-office , and the Oregon questions are briefly considered . While we by no means share in the sanguine expectations of the writer in Tait as to the blessings to be derived from " Free Trade , " we cordially sympathise with the spirit in which lie denounces that " most hideous of calamities—that wildest and wickedest of follies "—a war between Great Britain and America . " Several other articles , reviews , &e ., are contained in the present month ' s number , which is a very interesting one .

      SIMMONDS' COLONIAL MAGAZINE—May . This is a more than usually interesting number , containing , however , much that we cannot approve of . Amongst the continuations are— " On the Agriculture of Hindostan ; " " Port Phillip and South Australia ; " and "Australian Sketches ; " these last being very entertaining to the general reader , depicting , as they do , in the most pleasing style , with apparently no exaggeration , life as it is at the Antipodes . Amongst the new papers this month is a letter from Dr . Bisxs , "On the Defenceless Condition of Jamaica , " which shows clearly enough that in the event of a war with America , it will be next to a miracle that can save this far more costly than valuable appendage to this country , from fallinginto the hands of the Yankees . Yet , strange to savhaving

      , shown clearly enough , that , at least as far as the preservation of Jamaica is concerned , England is , at the present time , unprepared for war—the Doctor winds up with a whoop of defiance to the Americans ! lie had better have reserved his "defiance" until , at least , he had been prepared to fight . In still stronger terms we must protest against the article signed W . S .,. and entitled " Great Britain and the United States ; " the writer of which seems to pant for war , gravely arguing that it would be infinitel y preferable to go to war with America now , than to put off the evil day , as " it is better to crush a single foe , instead of waiting for several to be let loose at once , " as , he contends , will be the case when Louis Phiutpe goes to his account . He goes on" The States must , in the case of warbe divided ;

      , united to Texas , in a few years they would become too large and strong to make it safe for other nations . Divide the northern from the southern—make Texas a nation by itself , and their intestine jealousies will be such as to make them no longer to be feared by other nations , < fcc . " Against these damnable doctrines we protest . The mass of the English people , we assure our American readers , entertain no such views as the above . Many things are said and done in the United States which the British Reformers regret , because they regard such sayings and doings as inimical to the progress of free institutions . But the sentiments we have above quoted from this Magazine , will , we are sure , meet

      with the condemnation of nine-tenths of the British people . Amongst the usual fudge about that poor belied , ill-used animal , the " British Lion , " the writer in this magazine says— " Then , again , the a war should take place , in order that the disgrace of Bunker ' s Hill may be wiped out . " Why , this writer must be crazyJ The fact is , that " the English people , with few exceptions , " rejoice that the battle of Bunker ' s Hill terminated as it did in giving victory to the side of right and justice . That selfish , brutal , and barbarous feeling dignified by knaves and fools with the high-sounding name of " nationality " —that feeling which , playedupon by the unprincipled

      peace , mvarmbhj spring up . " Yes , Chartism does sleep : we acknowledge the fact , and we thank this writer for reminding us of it : but it sleeps not the sleep ot death , but the sleep of a sure and glorious re-awakening . We beg the " turbulent spirits "men made turbulent by bad government and social wrong , to notice that a remed y for their grievances is intended for them in the " draining off" of a war ! Uiis writer has discovered that what Btros calls the brain-spattering , wind-pipe slitting art , " is the grand panacea for all existing ills . A stupid and Banguinary war is , according to him , the grand solution ofthe " Condition-of-Eneland Question . " We arc

      sorry that the editor of this useful magazine should have given up his pages to such a contributor . At present we cannot afford room for further comment on this subject . We intend shortly , under the head of Foreign Movements , " in our seventh page , to give a series of articles elucidating this Anglo-American War Question . In the meantime , we earnestly denounce as the worst enemies of their species , whether they be English Tories , Irish Repealers , or American ( so-called ) Democrats , all who would excite that most horrible of abominations , that most unparalleled of criminalities , a war between this country and the States .

      A Few Hints on Foreign and Home Colonisation contains a considerable amount of good sense , mixed up with no small share of nonsense . We have no space for comment , but as the article is to be continued , we may notice it on another occasion . There are several other articles , most of them of a perfectly unexceptionable and interesting character , extracts from some one or more of which we had intended to hare mven ; but we find we have already occupied to the full the space we can afford : we ^ there tore , reluctantly forego our intention .

      WADE'S LONDON REVIEW-May . lhis ably-conducted Magazine continues its successful career exposing abuses , vindicating sound principles , and diffusing sterling information . In this number there is a continuation of the'scarchine articles on " The Royal Society of England "—artit cles which must go far to cause the reform or breakup of that jobbing conclave . " Increase of Crimes and Pauperism" is a well-reasoned article on the subjectsof which it treats . " The Character and Campaigns of Marlborough" exhibits that " hero" in no very admirable light . "The Maynooth College Question" is a sensible article , which may just now

      oe prontably perused . " A Page of Truth , " by Matilda Dcciiesne , introduces us to some new facts of and concerning , the character of the great Byiiok The following account of the truly-noble poet is stated by the writer in Wad e s Review to have been uttered verbatim by Robert Rushtox , formerly pa ^ e to the poet , and uttered by him to her , so recently as the 1 st of January , 1844 . The recontre of the two took place on the railway between York and Sunderuerland . The ex-page of the deceased poet was combatting with a teetotaler , and in the course of his observations remarked , I quite agree with mv old master s opinion : —

      Pew things surpass old wine—and they may preach Who please—the more , because they preach in vain . " # This excited the attention of the lady ( the writer in the Review ) , who begged the page would tell her something of " our great poet . " The page complied , and we here present to our readers the CHABACTEE OF BIBON BT HIS SERVANT , ROBERT KOSHTON . " Few knew Lord Byron's character better than myself , and I am very sure that all who really understood it must remember his name with pride and pleasure : I have reason to add to these feelings the deepest gratitude for unceasing kindness . I was the son of a farmer on his estate , and from childhood was the object of his generosity ; 1 used frequently to accompany him in his rambles , and fishing and shooting expeditions . More than once , indeed , was I saved from drowning by that superb dog , Boatswain , whom he has immortalised by the epitaph concluding , ' To mark a frientfs remains these stones arise ; I never knew but one ^—and here he lies "

      " After the denouement of his unfortunate marriage , I again went abroad with him ; * our route was across the Alps to Switzerland , thence to Italy and Greece ; but , at my mother ' s request , I returned home before he died . Oh , that he had lived but a few years longer , to prove his personal character as great as his intellectual superiority ! Oh , that he had lived to see his actions portrayed by the pen of truth instead of the barb of malice !" "There were unquestionably , " I replied , " some evil traits in his character , but I cannot help considering him as one' more sinned against that sinning . ' "

      " Indeed , it was so ! Never has the world presented a stronger illustration of the words 'No prophet hath honour , < fce . He was of a proud and and most sensitive temper—a warm , generous heart , open as day to melting charity , and a mind that required more than ordinary soothing and caressing . His friends—those whom he loved , and who loved him—could lead him whither they would ; their influence over him was literally unbounded ; and he was singularly tenacious in all his attachments , as well as generously forgiving to his enemies . He had a great and noble mind , formed by natnre to be an example as well as a wonder to the age , —but , mingled with his good qualities , he had also the weaknesses inseparably attached to them . Unfortunately for his country , most

      unfortunately for himself , his domestic position was through life calculated to foster his weaknesses into vices , —to suppress his good principles and feelings until , when they did , in spite of every restraint , burst forth , they resembled the fitfiil blaze of lightning or volcanic fire , rather than the steady , warm , and fructifying light of the sun . It was only during a very few years before the close of his brief career that Byron was really himself —that his heart , purified by a deep and genuine , although unhappy love , for one well worthy to inspire it—his mind elevated by the exercise of one of the noblest sentiments the human heart can feel—sympathy with the oppressed , —it was only then that he appeared as he was , or that the world began to understand his character , or to know the injustice that had been done him . "

      " Certainly . that is true , " I remarked ; "but you must not forget that it required more discernment than the million possess to discern his real excellence , veiled as it was from ordinary sight , not merely by the malice of others , but by his own studious efforts to hide every feeling or emotion that would have done him credit . "

      " True , he had seen so much of cant and hypocrisy , — he had observed so much baseness under the veil of religion and morality ,--that he fell into the error of imagining them to be inseparable , —and , although his ardent and highly imaginative temperament , aided by great temptations , led him into many errors , so great was his abhorrence of « mt , that he took no trouble either to conceal his real errors , or to contradict false aspersions . I will give you one anecdote of his early days , wliich he himself related with great gusto , —merely as a specimen of 'his tutors , confessor , and mother . ' One of the objects of his youthful aversions was an old chaplain , who was a perpetual spy on his actions , and who stood in high favour with Mrs . Byron , from the tales he carried to her of his Lordship . On one occasion the old fellow laid information that he had detected Lord Byron kissing

      one of the maids . When called to account the young delinquent did not deny the imputation , andafter exhausting herself and every English epithet of abuse at once , ' exit Mrs . Byron in a rage . ' His Lordship then turned round and informed the reverend intermeddler that be would be revenged on him in due time . He was not a man to break his word ; as friend ov foe , he was equally sincere , and he tracked the tale-bearer until he convicted him' of a much less pardonable transgression . Por a long time afterwards , when smd wherever he might meet him , he chanted in audible tor . es , 'From ( every parson knows what ) and all other dor . " ;• 'ins , good Lord , deliver us ! ' Can you wonder , that such incidents as tliis and similar . were well calculated to give him an intense horror of oant in ail its forms , —that it was almost gratifying to him to read the abuse showered on him , and then rejoice in the inward conviction -that he was not that which he

      seemed i " 11 Buti injudiciously as his ' mother treated him—unjust as were the censures of the world—his ruin did not seem to be accomplished until the agency of Lady Byron came into action . I may perhaps be wrong in supposing it , but I cannot but think his disagreement with his wife gave the final blow to his happiness , and undermined all his determinations to reform . " " It was a fatal connection , " observed 'the Page ' mournfully , " a dreadful trial to himself , although perhaps a blessing to the world . Had he married Miss Chawcrth , or had he been the happy husband of any

      other woman , the world would probably have lost some of his greatest works ; but our own benefit should not make us forgetful of his anguished heart—his fevered brain , The bitterness , the sarcasm with which he 6 peaks of the world—the contempt uuil aversion with which he men- tions 'theses' too frev . ently ought to be considered not as the deliberate senti « : vnt of his calm mind , but as the ' false colour with which , in the writhing * of anguish , he j seeks to invest the paradise from which he is erileu ,-rto i persuade himtelf , even more than the world , that his abandonment has been an act of deliberate choice . 1 w » n only compare the state of his mind for some time after i the separation—to what , were the body in question , we i ' j j .

      Ah ! you would have been surprised indeed had you known her . She was rather pretty , and with some pretensions to Blue-ism , a poor substitute in woman for qualities in which she was utterl y deficient . -mind , heart , and soul , —possessing not one idea of her ownincapable of deviation from thepreciee line of opinions prescribed as orthodox in her own home , —never abandoning herself to one generous impulse , or one glow of enthusiasm , —a mere thing of truisms—a being of conventionality . She married him because , although not in the zenitli of his fame , he was a Lord , and a Lion—Wila tout '

      As a natural consequence , the wedded pair had no sentiment in commen—no fteart-union—and so , when his glowing imngination burst forth in poetic rapture , she called him 'Fool' and thought him ' madman ! Their politics , too , were at variance ; she thought it derogatory to her high e * state to mingle with her inferiors . He , on the other hand , was , like all true poets , a philan . thropist ; his enlarged mind led him to consider the whole human race as his brethren , and to be courteous to the poorest and the meanest . All this , as Lord Byron could not understand , she despised , and had not sense to conceal her contempt . "

      " I need scarcely ask if you blame him for the separa tion »"

      Oh , no ! His passionate attachment to his child preeluded that . He would , I am sure , have endured anything ratherthan that parting . Doubtless , during his brief probation as a married man , his temper was greatly toured by the daily harass of cmbarrasinents , with which his high spirit ill fitted him to cope ; but what tender , ov even honourable wife , would consider that a cause for abandoning a husband ? It was painful to witness the agony he endured when he thought of his separation from his daughter : his lip would quiver and his brow contract , like those of a person enduring excessive agony , while , in spite of his pride , tears would roll down his cheek . He could not bear to have sucli emotion witnessed , and would turn away almost fiercely . It was strange , yet true , that his wife was the only woman who appeared to have no regard for him ; no other could resist his fascinating man . ners ; but she could hear him spoken of in terms that any other wife would have resented as a deep insult—and so she was praised by his enemies !

      ' Calmly she heard each calumny that rose , And saw his agony with such sublimity , That all the world exclaimed , What magnanimity !' " He could not behave ill to any woman . " ' I have heard , " I remarked , " that even in his habits he was very peculiar . " " He was so , certainly . On a wet drizzling day , when every one else was luxuriating at the fire , he would be out all day ; and , if it were particularly suitable for exercise , he would be either in his library or ' lollieking' on the grass under a tree , in deep thought . Just before he joined the patriots of Greece I left him—a step which I have repented deeply ever since . I never saw my noble master again . Poor fellow ! he had been hardly used . Those who ought to have been his dearest friends were his worst enemies , and he had none to whom he could look for comfort . How heartbreaking are all his allusions to that great domestic trial ! All others had been comparatively light , or had served to arouse his powers ; but he sank under it .

      All my feelings have been shaken ; Pride , which not a world could bow , Bows to thce—by thee forsaken ; E ' en my soul forsakes me now !'

      For a while it seemed as if , having nothing Jo hopenothing more dreadful to fear , he had become perfectly reckless . But not long did this mood last . He awoke to Ms better self—to active exertion , not only in his literary career—but as one possessing means and will to be a benefactor to his fellow-man . How liberally , even in his days of poverty , his purse was shared with the unfortunate , many can attest , how he devoted it , and all his energies also , to the welfare of his fellow men . In the glorious struggle for the liberty of others ho lived—for it he died . It is most interesting to watch the gradual refining of his mind during the latter years of his life ; how generously he acknowledged the errors into which his impetuosity had led him in earlier life ; how . even to her

      who had caused him much misery , every word was kind and thoughtful ( to his mother he had ever been so ); how careful he was of the welfare ( temporal and eternal ) of his children ; how devoted and faithful to her whom lie loved , illegally , indeed ; but , considering national customs , we can scarcely pronounce more than imliappily ! Many tell us to walk in the paths of virtue . Byron did morehe gave those whom he advised the power of acting up to it . If we live to see his character viewed apart from prejudice and party , unsullied by cant and hypocrisy , we shall find that very many of his enemies' accusations consisted of mere random invective and proofless assertion . His faults were those of education and circumstance , —his great and noble qualities were all his own .

      He was a man , take him for all in all , We ne ' er shall look upon his like again . " The narrator of the above conversation states that she has given Mr . Rushiox's words "without qualification or curtailment . " We beg to thank the ladv , and also the editor of the London Review , for etoni " publicity to this "Page of Truth .

      THE ENGLISH INSTITUTIONS : AN EDUCATIONAL POEM By Allen Davenpoht . London : Cleave , Shoe-lane . The name of Allen Davenpor t must be familiar to many of our readers as that of a patriot long active in the cause of freedom , and associated with every popular movement in this country from the time of the Spenceans to the time of the Chartists . Age , and its consequent infirmities , prevent him now taking that active part in the struggle for liberty wliich he formerly took , but we have the best evidence for believing that his sympathies are as warm as ever for all that is connected with man ' s progression and

      man ' s happiness . It is pleasing to us to have the opportunity of acknowledging the benefits conferred by such men as Allen Davenpokt upon their order ; and it is no less a duty with us to remind the young men of the present day of those services , and the gratitude they owe to such men . rhe poem before us is too small in ske and costonly two _ or threepence , we believe—to render it necessary tor us to extract from it , it being within the reach ot all who choose to patronise the author .

      A Cute l ox . —ln Ireland a sharp lellow is said to be " as cute as Power ' s fox—the fox of Ball y botherem , which used to read the papers every morning to Had out where the hounds were to meet . " Literary News . —Last Saturday ' s papers contain two interesting announcements : —Louis Philippe makes Victor Hugo a peer of France , and ( he Duke of Wellington Ccills the Morning Post a liar . In France the journalists think that the King has bestowed a deserved honour on one of their profession . In Kngland the Morning Post feels much obliged because the Duke accuses it of falsehood . In return for this compliment , the brave IMton cringes down to the testy old nobleman ' s feet , and prays that his Grace may be immortal . In Francethena literary man is made a

      , , duke ; in England lie is happy to be kicked by one . What English writer won't be proud of his profession after that—and of his station m the country?—and thank the Morning Port for representing ' him . — Punch . —[ Whether to he called a " liar" by the Duke of Wellington , or be made a Viscount by that incarnation of meanness , hypocrisy , and rascality , Louis PiiiuprE , be the greatest honour , we leave to casuists to determine . l ( c think it to be about six of one and half-a-dozen of the other . When the Duke calls the Editor of the Post a "liar , " and the Post-man snivels his admiration of the Duke in reply , no ono is surprised , this beine

      quite in keeping with the thorough baseness of the literary hacks who soil themselves to do the ilirty work of the aristocracy . But when Victor Hug o doffs the poet ' s crown , to brand his brows with the coronet of a viscount , there is indeed cause for surprise and sorrow . Alas ! that he , of all men . should exhibit such self-abasement ! That he should become one of the {/ uH £ r ^ -tlic tools— of a perjured ldog , to register libcrticidiil edicts , and condemn brave men to the dungeon and the guillotine for resisting a tyrant's crimes !

" All things considered , we should say Sir Robert would fee ! grateful for a similar exoneration . If he wouldn't we should ! An American Plea for Acquitting a Mvhdeker . —At New Orleans , a young man named Hatch stabbed a companion so that lie died . He was arraigned for murder , but the jury acquitted him on the plea that " the deceased had threatened to slap lis ( the prisoner ' s ) face . " The crime seems to us to have been as foul a murder as was ever committed , aud the murderer ' s acquittal seems most strange and remarkable .

      Julmen ' s Prison Music . — M . Jullien— -out of abounding gratitude for the patronage lie has obtained from the musical English—has had a poor widow spirited away ftom hcv five children , and locked up in Whitecross-strect , for having in her ignorance sold four copies of a work which had pirated one melody from the great Frenchman . We are no apologists for literary , musical , or any other pirates ; but we do think that a man ' s heart-strings must be as rigid as the strings of his fiddle—that he must be wholly fitted up with cat-gut—who would consign a really innocent woman to the miseries of a gaol for an unconscious infringement of the law of copyright . However , let Mrs . Charlotte Templi-mau , of 5 , Great Portland-street , Oxford-street , tell her own story . She was served with a bill of inj unction : the widow was put in Chancery : — - " Knowing nothing whatever of law , I immediately called upon M . Jullien , and also upon his solicitor , Mr . Lewis * No . !> .

      Lower Grosvcnor-strcet , Bond-street , and stated to him my sale and profit [ the profit id . ]; and I also assured him that no more of the melody should be sold by me . Things remained in this state until yesterday , when two sheriff ' s officers entered my shop , and took me to Whitecross-street prison , where I remained all night . How I have been liberated I know not , any more than whv l have been confined , only that 1 have been obliged to pay 2 Cs ., and sign a paper , the contents of which I know no more of than the man in the moon . "—We think it onl right that the ladies in High life—whom Jullien delights to acknowledge as his patronessesshould know of the charity exercised by their minstrel towards a poor woman , fighting the world ' s hard fight , to support five fatherless children . Perhaps , further to ingratiate himself with fashionable wives and mothers , M . Jullien may compose the Whitecross-strect Polka , to be especially danced by widows and orphans . —Punch .

      No such Sinecure . —A widow lady has written to ui to ascertain if we can inform her how she can obtain for her youngest son the situation of a " Commissioner for the Reduction of the National Debt . " He is not older than fifteen , she says , and is very well qualified for the situation , as he has been brought up like a gentleman , and never been accustomed to do anything . We are afraid from this description the young man will havdly suit , as the duties for the reduction are so heavy , that a report has not yet been ' published , though it has occupied the attention of the ablest arithmeticians for years . —Ibid . Cure of Pauper Souls . —The AyleBbury Board of Guardians have reduced the salary of the Union chaplain , Mr . Gleadali , from £ 20 to £ 10 . This is prudent and economic . It is well known that pauper souls—unlike the souls of the rich and respectable , that require especial care—may be cured , like herrings , by the thousand . Hence , Mr . Gleadali is expected to cure wholesale , and is paid accordingly !—Ibid .

      The Oldest Inhabitant . —We have finally found out who that much talked of individual , the " oldest inhabitant" is . An elderly chap , speaking of his great knowledge of the western country the other day , said that lie had known the Mississippi river ever since it was a small creek . He ' s the man . — JVew Orleans Picayune . A Personal Reflection . — " I see the villain in your face , " said a western judge to an Irish prisoner . " May't please your worshi p , " replied Pat , " that must be a personal reflection , sure . " "Tuou art the Man . "—An heims one day told her physician , who attended her during along illness , that she had made up her mind to marry . Upon his asking the name of the chosen fortunate one , she bid him go home and open his Bible , giving him chapter and verse , and he would find it out . lie did so , and thus he read— " Nathan said to David , thou art the man .

" ( Laughter . ) Magistrate—* ' What rent do you pay ? " Bottom— " Noiie ; I ne ' er paid any in all my life . " Magistrate— " How do you live ? " Bottom— "Why , I lives in a cot . "

      Magistrate— "Who lives with you ? " Bottom— " I lives by myself . " ( Laughter . ) Magistrate- " Well , they will take your goods for payment . " Bottom— " Ah ! > ut I have no goods .

      Extraordinary Proceedings in a Church . — Windsor , Monday . —A curious circumstance occurred yesterday at the parish church of Clewer , near . Windsor , which has been the subject since of general remark and comment throughout the neighbourhood It appears that the Rev . Mr . Carter , the rector , invariably enforces that rubric wliich requires the baptismal service to be performed after the second lesson . Yesterday one of the male sponsors at a christening was rejected by the rector upon the ground that he considered him to be unfit to undertake such a responsibility . The man so rejected being , we believe , rather tlcaf , and not particularly " bright , " appeared not to comprehend very clearly the nature and cause of his having been objected to ; accordingly

      uunng the remainder | of the service , he ' wandered about the sacred edifice , muttering aloud , to himself , and expressing great dissatisfaction and annoyance at the stigma cast upon his character . The service was much interrupted by this unseemly exhibition . A parishioner who was present , observes— " If Mr . Carter thought the man was unfit to be a sponsor he was right , and did his duty in objecting to him ; but ought he not to have ascertained beforehand who was going to be sponsor , and thus have avoided such a painful scene ? Will Mr . Carter compel the rich as well as the poor to have their children baptized immediately after the second lesson ? Does the reverend gentleman intend to carry out « B the rubric , or only so much as he pleases ?"
