Thy smile shall calm the boisterous main:
And when thou'rt far removed from me,

When the bright dreams of youth no more
Shall fairy prospects round me throw,
And poesy with happy tints

No longer bids the landscape glow-
When time has silvered o'er my head
And frozen youthful fancy's vein,
O may a kindly current yet
Within my heart unchilled remain!
The feelings which I cherish there,

Have long my dearest treasure been;
But fate, relentless, bids me keep

That treasure locked, that heart unseen. Bound by the spell, it vainly beats

For one, who may not, must not know How faithful, warm, and true a pulse Will throb for her in weal and woe!

those motives which could move them to

It is obvious that the changes which this
gentleman would recommend are precisely
opposite to the principal measures suggest-

not to make an argument, to show whose
plan we think best; we would only inform
our readers what plans are in agitation.

At a meeting of the Overseers, July 24, 1823, a Committee, of which the Hon. Judge Story was Chairman, was appointed to inquire into the state of the University, THE interests of Cambridge College are, and to report thereon. A report was read or should be, in a good measure identified on the 4th of May last, and taken into conwith those of literature and all intellectual sideration at an adjourned meeting of the education.

are made the mere officials of a separate and supreme body. Whether this be, on the whole, wise, or likely to give the University a choice of officers among the first in intellect and literature in the country, or to secure the most zealous and efficient exertion of what abilities they may possess in promoting the best interests of the College,-many seem to doubt. So much must be trusted to these officers, and the reposing confidence in men is so apt to make them trust-worthy, we should hardly think it worth while to fear that these gentlemen would rob the College treasury, and give themselves undue salaries; and the time has almost past for supposing that scholars do or should or will live in such monkish seclusion as to know nothing of the world beyond their cells, and to be unfit to govern themselves. The system of checks and balances may be carried out, to the extinction of far better motives than it can supply;-and it must be a difficult task to provide for the College a supreme power, out of the College, and other than that body of Overseers who represent the public, against which some weighty objections shall not lie.

ROYAL SOCIETY OF LITERATURE.

A Royal Society of Literature has been instituted in Great Britain within the last year. Its organization is similar to that of the Royal Philosophical Society. The Bishop of St David's is its President, and among its other office-bearers are many individuals distinguished for birth and rank, and some for their literary eminence. There is a provision for the election, by the Council, of ten Royal Associates, who receive from the king an annual allowance of a hundred guineas. Among those who have received this distinction are Mr Coleridge the poet, Mr Malthus, and Sir W. Ousely. At the late annual meeting of the Society, Mr Mitford, the venerable historian of Greece, was presented by the President with one of the beautiful gold medals which the king had enabled the Society to present annually.

his excursions the Baron went two hundred
and thirty-five miles from the coast upon
the ice of the Polar Sea, to the latitude of
72° 3', where he arrived at the open sea,
and afterwards travelled many days to the
westward, along the ice. All his provisions

ANTIQUITIES OF POMPEII.

There has lately issued from the royal press at Naples, a folio volume, with 107 plates, under the title of Decorations of the Walls and Pavements of the Chambers in the ancient Pompeii. Here are representations of the Arabesques, Mosaics, and other ornaments found in the houses of that city. Among other groups and compositions, interesting to the artist and antiquarian, are six designs of the arenas of the amphitheatre, preserving their memory, as the originals have been destroyed. The royal press has also made much use of the unpublished monuments of Winckelman, and printed a new edition of them.

ANCIENT COINS.

There has been found within a short time at Gordon in Berwickshire, (G. B.) a small horn, containing fourteen silver coins of about the diameter of the modern shilling, but not quite so thick. On one side is the head of the prince, with the legend Henriu di Gra Rex. Ang. & Franc. On the obverse is the cross, with a border inscribed Posui deum, Adjutorem Meum; and on an inner circle Villa Calisie. These are taken to be a coinage of Henry V. (from the u in the name Henriu) and stamped by that great and victorious king at Calais.

RUSSIAN EXPEDITION TOWARDS THE NORTH

POLE.

In another excursion the Baron attempted to examine the sea to the east of Cape Schalagskoi. He was informed by the natives that they could see land, in clear weather, to the N. E. and estimated its distance at eighty versts (fifty-four miles.) The Baron immediately set out himself, and sent one of the officers of his expedition in another direction with the same view. But he had hardly got thirty-three which continued several days, broke up the miles from the coast, when a violent storm, ice, and not only rendered it impossible for but even made his return to land very him to proceed further towards the north, and after passing several days on a piece of problematical. It was with great difficulty floating ice, among the masses piled up around him, in the utmost danger, and exposed to total want of provisions, that he at length succeeded in reaching the land, where the other party had also arrived after incurring a similar risk. By the breaking up of the ice the possibility of reaching the land pointed out by the Tschukutskoi was destroyed, not only for that year, but probably for several years to come.

Extract from the Westminster Review. "This is a Persian Gil Blas, certainly not quite so full of genius as the amusing work of Le Sage, nor yet falling below it to an unmeasurable distance; something is wanting in the writer, as much or more in the nation to whom his hero belongs. Persia is the best scene for a light-hearted adventurer, after Spain; but it is in vain to look elsewhere

for the same rich materials of romance as are to be found in the manners, pursuits, occupations, and government of the latter most remarkable country. Like Gil Blas, Hajji Baba is tossed about from rank to rank with all that suddenness of elevation and depression which can only happen in a despotic government, where the fortunes of all men depend upon the will of one, and where, for the quick dispatch of business or pleasure, the tedious forms of law and justice are dispensed with. These rapid changes present every advantage to the novelist; and from his intimate acquaintance with the manners of Persia, the author of this book has been able to avail himself of them to a very great extent. Indeed, such is this writer's familiar, almost native knowledge of the people he describes, that we may
