(From Poems by William Cullen Bryant. (See Specimens of the American Poets," 12mo. pp. 215-218.)

To him who in the love of Nature holds Communion with her visible forms, she speaks

A various language; for his gayer hours
She has a voice of gladness, and a smile
Aud eloquence of beauty, and she glides
Into his darker musings, with a mild
And gentle sympathy, that steals away
Their sharpness, ere he is aware.-When
thoughts

Of the last bitter hour come like a blight
Over thy spirit, and sad images
Of the stern agony, and shroud, and pall,
And breathless darkness, and the narrow
house,

Make thee to shudder, and grow sick at heart;

Go forth under the open sky, and list To Nature's teachings, while from all around

Earth and her waters, and the depths of air,

Comes a still voice-" Yet a few days, and thee

The all-beholding sun shall see no more In all his course; nor yet in the cold ground,

Where thy pale form was laid, with many tears,

Nor in the embrace of ocean shall exist Thy image. Earth that nourish'd thee, shall claim

Thy growth, to be resolv'd to earth again;

And, lost each human trace, surrend'ring up

Thine individual being, shalt thou go
To mix for ever with the elements,
To be a brother to th' insensible rock,
And to the sluggish clod, which the rude
swain

Turns with his share, and treads upon.
The oak

Shall send his roots abroad, and pierce thy mould.

Yet not to thy eternal resting-place Shalt thou retire alone-nor could'st thou wish

Couch more magnificent: Thou shalt lie down

With patriarchs of the infant worldwith kings,

The powerful of the earth-the wise, the good,

Fair forms, and hoary seers of ages past, All in one mighty sepulchre. The hills Rock-ribb'd and ancient as the sun,-the

vales

Stretching in pensive quietness between The venerable woods-rivers that move In majesty, and the complaining brooks That make the meadows green-and, poured round all,

Old Ocean's grey and melancholy waste,Are but the solemn decorations all

Of the great tomb of man. The golden sun,

The planets, all the infinite host of heaven,

Are shining on the sad abodes of death, Through the still lapse of ages. All that tread

The globe, are but a handful to the tribes

That slumber in its bosom.-Take the wings

Of morning, and the Barcan desert pierce,

Or lose thyself in the continuous woods Where rolls the Oregan, and hears no sound

Save his own dashings—yet, the dead are there,

And millions in those solitudes, since first

The flight of years began, have laid them down

In their last sleep-the dead reign there alone.

So shalt thou rest-and what if thou shalt fall

Unnotic'd by the living-and no friend Take note of thy departure! All that

breathe

Will share thy destiny: the gay will laugh

When thou art gone, the solemn brood of care

Plod on, and each one as before will chase

His favourite phantom; yet all these shall leave

Their mirth and their employments, and shall come

And make their bed with thee; as the long train

Of ages glide away, the sons of men, The youth in life's green spring, and he who goes

In the full strength of years, matron, and maid,

The bow'd with age, the infant in the smiles

And beauty of its innocent age cut off,Shall one by one be gathered to thy side, By those, who in their turn shall follow them.

So live, that when thy summons comes to join

The innumerable caravan, that moves To the pale realms of shade, where each shall take

His chamber in the silent halls of death, Thou go not, like the quarry slave at night,

Scourged to his dungeon; but, sustain'd and sooth'd

By an unfaltering trust, approach thy grave,

Like one who wraps the drapery of his couch

About him, and lies down to pleasant dreams."

1822, June 20, at Wells, the Rev. THOMAS ABRAHAM SALMON, B.D., Prebendary of Wells, and Rector of Rodney Stoke, Somerset, (to which he was presented in 1794, by the Bishop of Bath and Wells,) and chaplain to Earl Cowper. He was of Wadham College, Oxford, M.A. 1792; B.D. 1800. He published "Hebraica Grammatices; or, a Hebrew Grammar with Vowel Points," 8vo. 1796; "Vitarum Plutarchi Epitome," 8vo., 1797; and "Extracts from Mr. Card's Will, relative to his Charity at Chedder."

-21, at his house in Swansea, the Rev. WILLIAM HOWELL, who during twenty-eight years was pastor of the Presbyterian congregation in that town. Mr. Howell was the son of the Rev. Wm. Howell, many years master of a large and highly respectable school, and minister of the Old Meeting, at Birmingham. He was born at Wincanton in Somerset

shire, in the year 1740. He was educated for the ministry at the Presbyterian Academy in Carmarthen, under the tuition of the Rev. Mr. Thomas and the Rev. Dr. Jenkins. Having completed his academical course, he went over to Holland, and accepted an invitation from an English church at Amsterdam, as a supply for half a year. On his return to England, he settled as pastor to a congregation at Chelwood, near Bristol, where he was ordained, and exercised his ministry for fifteen years. In the year 1775, he married Miss Beverstone, the only child of a wealthy and most respectable citizen of Bristol; a highly respected and most amiable woman, who died in 1803, and left him two sons and three daughters. In the year 1786, Mr. Howell accepted the appointment of the ological tutor and superintendent of the Presbyterian Academy, removed from Carmarthen to Swansea, and at the same time undertook the pastoral charge of the congregation in this town. The for

mer appointment he held nine years, and the latter he resigned in the year 1814, assigning, as his reason for relinquishing the duties of the ministry, the decay of his sight. He continued to enjoy excellent health; and at last, after the illness of only a few days, was blessed with a remarkably tranquil and easy death. Mr. H. was greatly respected among his neighbours as a pious and good man, a serious, devout and earnest preacher, a careful and religious father of a family, and an upright, peaceable and benevolent member of society. "His prayers and his alms are gone up as a memorial of him before God;" and it is to "a conscience void of offence both towards God and towards men," and to his faith and hope in Christ, the serenity of his latter end is to be ascribed, and the remarkable coolness and self-possession he enjoyed even to his last hour. He died the death of the righteous, and his last end was like his."

June 22, at Hull, aged 36, the Rev. J. HAWKSLEY, late pastor of the Independent congregation in Aldermanbury Postern, London. He was educated at the Independent Academy, Rotherham, and on the completion of his term of four years in that seminary, was associated with the late Mr. Barber in the pastorship abovementioned. On the death of Mr. Barber he became in 1810 sole pastor, and coutinued in his office until 1821, when illhealth obliged him to retire into the country. Symptoms of decline soon shewed themselves, and he sunk at length under this disease, much respected and lamented.

29, in Montague Place, Russell Square, in his 71st year, JAMES OLDHAM OLDHAM, Esq., the eminent ironmonger of Holborn. Mr. Oldham had been an active magistrate for Middlesex for many years, and also had filled the office of High-Sheriff for Buckinghamshire some years since. "The occasion of his being so well known," (says the Gent. Mag., with insidious quaintness,)" was his immense wealth-four hundred thousand pounds." Early in life he became connected with the "Evangelical" party in the church, and on the first opening of the late Countess of Huntingdou's chapel in Spafields, was chosen one of the committee of management, which situation he retained to the day of his death. Some years since, he gave to Trustees a freehold estate, for the purpose of its becoming the scite of a new chapel when the lease of the present

has expired. As a trustee of the property in the Countess of Huntingdon's connexion, he manifested great zeal and liberality. When he resided at Great Missenden, Bucks, he purchased the perpetual advowson of that living, and vested it in the Trustees of Cheshunt College, (in the Countess's connexion,) for the purpose of perpetuating "a gospel ministry" in that place. He recently erected a substantial and commodious schoolroom at Missenden, at a convenient distance from the church, as an appendage to the living. He was buried at Cheshunt, in a vault constructed by him beneath the College chapel. The following are some of his charitable legacies, all to be paid clear of the legacy duty: £1000 three per cent. consols, to the £1000 ditto, to the British and Foreign London Missionary Society. £3000 to Institutions in Lady HuntingBible Society.

of LONDONDERRY, better known to the world as Lord Castlereagh. He was the eldest son of the late Marquis of Londonderry, to whose title he succeeded on the death of his father last year, and of Lady Sarah Frances Conway, sister of the late Marquis of Hertford, and was born June 18, 1769, and was consequently in the 53rd year of his age. He received his carly education at Armagh, under Archdeacon Hurrock; and at 17 was entered at St. John's College, Cambridge. After remaining the usual time at the University, he made the tour of the continent, and on his return commenced his political career in his native country. His family were Presbyterians and Whigs, and his Lordship came out into the world as a patriot. He was elected in 1791, after a keen and expensive contest, as representative of the county of Down in the Irish Parliament; and on this occasion it was that he gave a written pledge to his constituents to support the cause of Parliamentary Reform and Irish Freedom. His first parliamentary efforts were in consonance with this engagement. He favoured the principles on which the Society of United Irishmen was founded at Belfast, in 1792, and was in habits of intimacy with some of the leaders of the Society, particularly the two interesting and unfortunate brothers, the Sheares', if he himself was

not sworn in as a member. The first Irish conspiracy failed, and Lord Castlereagh became a member of the English Parliament, and a humble supporter of Mr. Pitt. Under the patronage of this minister, he returned to the Irish Parliament in 1797, and was appointed, in reward of what his former compatriots termed his apostacy, first Keeper of the Privy Seal of Ireland, and then one of the Lords of the Irish Treasury. His political advancement was promoted by his family connexion with Earl Camden, the Lord Lieutenant of Ireland, to whom, on the resignation of Mr. Pelham, the present Earl of Chichester, he became Chief Secretary. He was also sworn of the Privy Council. He continued the office of Secretary under the Marquis Cornwallis. In this situation he was accused of conniving, at least, at many of the worst atrocities that the triumphant faction in Ireland perpetrated; but we know not that any one crime was ever brought home to him. The Union with Ireland was accomplished chiefly by his agency, that is, as manager of the Irish House of Commons, and posterity will probably know the means by which this measure was effected. The Irish Parliament being destroyed, Lord

Castlereagh took his seat in the United Parliament, as member for the county of Down; and under the Sidmouth administration, in 1802, he was appointed President of the Board of Coutroul, a post which he continued to hold on Mr. Pitt's return to office. He was afterwards made Secretary for the War and Colonial Departments. On this occasion, he was rejected by the County of Down and obliged to come into Parlia ment for a ministerial borough. The death of Mr. Pitt drove him and the other clerks of office (as they were contemptuously styled) from place and power. The displaced party carried on a most harassing opposition to the Fox and Grenville administration, and at length prevailed against them by the "No Popery" ery; although Mr. Pitt, whose memory they affected to cherish and whose policy they pretended to pursue, had been ever friendly to the Catho lic claims, and had once resigned the seals of office because he could not carry them; although Lord Castlereagh had, under Mr. Pitt's sanction, held out to the Irish, emancipation as the price of consent to the Union; and although he himself was at the very time, and conti nued afterwards to the hour of his decease, an advocate for all the concessions, and more than the concessions, that the Whigs proposed to make to the Roman Catholics. * In the Perceval ministry, Lord Castlereagh filled his former post of Minister of War, and in that office planned the ridiculous and disastrous expedition to Walcheren. This led to the duel with Mr. Canning, and to his expalsion from office. On the death of Mr. Perceval, he was recalled to place by the necessities of his party, and made Foreign Secretary, which he continued to be to the day of his death. The extraordinary events of the close of the French war elevated his Lordship to an eminence to which he could never have expected from his talents, principles or connexions to arrive. He divided kingdoms, parcelled out masses of population, disposed of crowns and determined the fate of dynas ties. With what instruments he worked,

It must never be forgotten that the Perceval, Liverpool, Eldon and Castlereagh ministry, which had run down the Fox and Grenville administration on account of their Catholic Bill, afterwards secretly introduced and quietly carried the same measure, only with larger allowances to the Catholics! This is a memorable example of political consistency and integrity.

the time may not be yet come for declaring. A little before his death he had commenced a prosecution against Mr. O'Meara for relating in his book of Napoleon's conversations, a statement of the Ex-emperor's that the British minister had personally partaken of the spoils of France. In private life, the Marquis of Londonderry is said to have been amiable; his public character is known, unhappily for his reputation, throughout Europe. He had talents for business, but in Parliament he had influence with out respect. His speeches were laboured, dull, unsatisfactory and often ludicrous: they were so managed, however, as to hide the question, when it was not convenient that it should be exposed, and to confuse the minds of common hearers, and to throw a certain mistiuess upon subjects, under cover of which members might vote without self-animadversion. The manner of his death was shocking. His intellect was no doubt disordered, but the cause of the disorder is not yet sufficiently explained. He has left a widow, Amelia, the youngest daughter of the late Earl of Buckinghamshire. Having no issue, his title and estates descend to his brother, Lord Stewart. He was buried in Westminster Abbey on the 20th inst., and his corpse was received by the populace with indecorous and ungenerous expressions of their feelings.

DEATH ABROAD.

Abbé Haüy.

June 3, was interred, the Abbé (René Juste) HAY, member of the Académie Royale des Sciences. Standing beside his grave, M. Cuvier, perpetual Secretary of the Académie Royale des Sciences, and Superintendant of the Muséum d'Histoire Naturelle, in the name of those two institutions pronounced the following oration: "My fellow-mourners! By what sad fatality have the arrows of death fallen of late so thickly around us? At the distance of but a few days we have accompanied to their long home, Hallé, Richelieu, Sicard and Van Spandock. Talents, greatness, active benevolence, all have pleaded in vain against the stern decree. Again the mortal stroke has fallen on genius and virtue; has bereft us of the most perfect model of the philosopher devoted to the study of nature, and of the sage blest in the enjoyment of truth, and of that happiness which is undiminished by the revolutions and the caprices of fate.

"In the midst of humble and labori ous occupations, one idea took posses

sion of the mind of M. Haüy; and to that luminous and fruitful idea, his time and his faculties were from that period consecrated: it led him to the study of mineralogy, geometry and all the science of nature; it impelled him, as it were, to acquire a new existence. How magnificent the reward granted to his exertions! He cast aside the veil which concealed the fabric of those mysterious productions in which inanimate matter seemed to present the first motions of life, in which it appeared to assume such precise and unvarying forms by principles analogous to those of organization. Our philosopher separated and measured, in thought, the invisible materials forming those wonderful edifices; he subjected them to invariable laws; his scientific eye foresaw the results of their union; and amongst the thousands of calculations which he made, none were ever found defective. From the cube of salt, the formation of which we perpetually behold, to the sapphire and the ruby vainly hidden in gloomy caverns from our luxuriousness and avarice, every substance obeys the same laws; and amidst the innumerable metamorphoses to which they are all subjected, not one exists unforeseen by the calculations of M. Haüy.

"An illustrious member of our Society has well said, that no second Newton will be born, because there is not a second system of the Universe: so we may say, in reference to a more limited object, that there will be no second Haüy, because no different structure of crystals exists. Like the discoveries of Newton, those of M. Haüy, far from appearing restricted in their nature from the improvements since made in science, seem constantly increasing in general usefulness; and his genius partook of the character of his discoveries: age detracted nothing from the merit of his writings, the last of them was always the most perfect; and those persons who have seen the work which occupied him in his last moments, assure us that it is the most admirable of all his productions.

"How sweet is that life which is devoted to the pursuit of an important and demonstrable truth, one which daily leads to the discovery of other truths connected with it! To him who is worthy to enjoy such a life,-and who was ever more worthy than M. Haüy?-how far do its charms exceed all the splendid offers the world can make! The natural objects that were constantly under the inspection of this philosopher, the precious stones so madly sought in distant climes, at the price of labour, sometimes of blood, had no value in his estimation for that which
