In its there ia a simplicity and spontaniety that many might deeraaome-what inartistic. This is particularly apparent in the Hymn" to Peace, with which tbe author concludes hia little volame, in which, changing the stately march of the into the quicker variations of the de, ha cprtaihly fails to exhibit that ftaerc ear for the melody of numbers, which ia, although inbordinate, a secessiiry' accompahiment to poetic. pexsiSfl'i In dtssB be com-, plimentary.tft.a say thaji he hsrl' dtsDlayeel 'in.

Itis thus, with some confidence, that we'Ieayg th cultivation of the genius of thia child of promise," to nature and -to time that of his art of numbers to Johnson's London," or to hia "Vanity of Human Wishes." If tho author of the Crimead never rises to the -sublime, he never sinks into bathos; if his enthusiasm never riiaa into it never dissipates itself in rabid sentimentality Sf ha displays but little of tho emotional, he filsoovers, at least, that rare duality in a young poet, that bis fancy and his judgment are conterminous and contemporary. We 'would, however, take the liberty of raoommasdihg-; blm to write out the argument of lis poem and, carefully comparing antecedent and consequent, he may not fail to discover considerable discrepaLcias both in the order of events and the ordonnanca of his scenes, of which, incidental to the groat siege in the peninsula of the Euxine, the author has given us, not, indeed, a descriptive detai), or a letterpress' nanorama, but a pleasing poetic rmme, To add a didactic poem to the many already existing iu the English language was not, doubtless, tbe ambition of the author while, on the other band, there are paassges here and there which evidence something tf the mens divinior random notes which, although but ftint and diatant, yet come.murmuring from above.

Gompoatd at intervals, amidst the distractions of severer academic studies, this poem must be considered rather aa tbe earlier budding of the spring than the brighter but later blossoming of summer, and in this light we can consider its faults with some degree of leniency, -and. its many undoubted beauties with 8 deeper' interest. These await tbe moBt cursory perusal i those the of the the Earl of Carlisle, himself a "critic and a poet of a high order and, although tho author of the present' work may consider himself fortunate in securing a patron bo distinguished, tbere can be little doubt that the nobleman whose generous sympathy has been thus extended to aid the efforts of a youthful muse has displayed a diBcarhment, which may one day result in the protege himself patronising his patron by perpetuating his name in a memorial which may pass to: pther generations, NATIONAL GALLERY OF IRELAND, The exhibition of plotures by, the anplont masters, now open In Baggot-sireet, continues to attract, as indeed the merits of the collection deserve, a good share of publio attention. The obj'eot of the present exhibition, tbe two preceding ones, held under the auspices and through the instrumentality of the oornmittee of the Irish Institution, is to lead the way for the establishment of a National Gallery whloh it is intended to have erected on Lelaster Lawn and.such being the design of the committee, their efforts should be seconded in. every possible way by every person feeling an interest in the advancement of art education amongst oar people.

Apart from this consideration, however, thoro are many inducements to visit, the collection. Amongst other exquisite specimens of art there are two magniBoent paintings, most liberally contributed for exhibition, from his collection at by hjs Exoel-leuoy the Earl of OarllBle The Triumph of Baoohus," by Nioliolas Pousnta, and a Portrait of Lady Caroline Howard, by Sir Joshua Reynolds, Of the former master it waB well Nicholas PoubbId merits a Btatlonln the olasa of original painters of those whoextended the applioatfou of the art, if not its meohanloal power, Biffaelleand Julio Bomanohad prei ceded him in study from theremnsntslof antiquity but Pouasin'a perception of the use tbat might ba made of them waa totally distlnot from theirs, and if leBs grand not less Imaginative. It.was also more strictly imitative of ancient forms, oustouu, dresses, and appropriate scenery, of all which he has left us. most useful display. Though he drew the principal part, of his materials from the works of ancient times, and his opmbi-natlona bf them froth the inspirations of the poetry sad mythology of the same period, yet those combinations 'are so just, the incidents and aooompaniments so well chosen, and exhibited with such an air ot truth, that the invention is truly his own as distlnot from tuost of other men as are the works of Michael Angelo.

The grandeur of their forms, the well regulated union of their parts, and the depth and riahnCM of their tones of oolourlug never fall to impress us with elevated ideaB, and supplying us with poetic Imagery." Sir Joshua BeynoldB has been not inaptly called, "onr illustrious artiBt, the great luminary of the English of his style It has been remarked" Thearrangement of portraits are no less beautiful and Interesting than new.and entirely his wn, These are composed in a taste far surpassing all that had ever bsen done by hia predeoessors, uniting the grandeur, simplicity, and fulness ol Titian, and the grace and nature ot Vaudyok," with the artful aud attractive effects of Bembrandt, One quality he had whloh no other painter that ever hrealhad shares with him in an equal degree 1 he effcot of his best piotures aots Ilka a oharm, and arrests the tasteful beholder with Irresistible power.

No real connoisseur can deny the existence of this quality in his plotures but wherein it epeoifloally dwells it Is not easy to discovtr or' duune."

8BW- deer and iatereiting phiid, v-i THB'XEBDS POtSOSING GA8E. FrantM- Its alraitarity to a late most atrtfeiona crime has given more than ordinary interest to the offenee for which William Dove now lies under sentence of death', Unfortunately, tha murder of a wife by her husband is act not Boffleiently rare to prodnco a deep aensation, oat when tna crime has been committed by poison, and ttefrfaiaon strychnine, general attention ia at once fixed on ttd details. Tbe effects aw therefore more widespread, and tins oirenmetancea consequently demand a noiice which 1 nnEesaty in the case of ordinary It was thought that toe trial of Dove would hava nn 0ivin6' fontnrR. iraoBDt its Tftleiabliince to that ol Wil liam Palmer, batljjfe jwcpmnfmdatlon ef ttse jmy thst tha. convict's life beifed; on thagionnaor Bia flereeuva intellect, gives a new'itdportance to the aa destined to fnt-nish a precedent in the administration of criminal juatica, The judge and joiy, -If will not be doubted, bave jdono their duty but the Involved in the Ncoinmendation to mercy cannot tie admitted without mare ooaaidetstion than it has yet rsceived.

-As ia the facta of tho case no nneer-tainty exisfa. A murder of tha foulest and moat treacherous kind had been by which a sick and helpless woman gaffer anffaring. agoniea which might hnva moved to pity iht matt eallons heart; Tbe.pn-aoner is proved to have been habitually a drunkard and a brulal hnsband. In his fits of intoxJeation, he threatened hi3 wife repeatedly, and proceeded to act which gave her just canse of fear for her life. A sottish hnaband, becoming eveiy day more brutal and depraved, tolling his wife, even when sober, that he will "do for her," calling her opprobrious names, throwing her down, and JtnJnS her with a carving knife, beating bar with his flat, forcing her to aeek refoge nude? the bed, is an example pf what we have lensd to consider mere vnlgaerimeV rSS'fSt Bi'Bove teamblei only tho rnfSafehrrfiHicIaiate almost daily recorded in the police repbWof 'this -capital.

But in this case tbe husband waa actuated not only by a brutal tampey, but by asettled wish to gat rid of bia wife. "I will give yoa a pill that will do for yon," he says on one occasion. She is sickly, Bhe costs money in doctors' pilla there had been a talk of a separation, and an allowance to be paid by him. The crime of Palmer ie the subject of converaation at Leeda, as elsewhere. Dove thinks it proved that etiychnla cannot be discovered in the human frame by any analysis, For many weeks before his wife's death he is bent on possessing this, poison.

At -Iaat he biiya no'me to kilt aa he aaysv The circumstances are again vulgar and "ordinary enoughs A coarae and malignant mature wiBhea to accpmplish ita objects; and tekea jtast' the meaanres which ita low cunning, mingled, ai finch cnnnSojs often with tnpidiiy, points out. Then we coma to use of the arnji Thsprisonar poiaopa doga and mici; in the last 'Weak of Fearoary cammencea the perpetration of his protracted and coldblooded crime. On 0 25ths be givea his wife strychnine in her breakfaar, the occasion of 8paani8 flpecntatea on her death, declaring ttat ate: qnldJ'b'e averse to a 'put mortem It is eviden'trthat he is an Imitator of what we may call He writes to bis mother-in-law in the usual affectionate and religions spirit. Hia wife, he ia sorry td: say, ia very ill. She had come down much better than naaal, took "anch a nice breakfast," and then began toplsy on the piano.

She was afterwards seized with sadden illness but, thankfGod, 8he(! is still alive. Hare we certainly aee traces- of an iittel-lecfi not at oil defective for the purposes of a most elaborate crime. But Tuesday, the 26th, passed away the next day there have beaa more Btrychnme at "o'clock-' the husband aendB 'U'W'dftfithim, a neighbour, and begs" Ue tb' eome and nee his wife, who, he feaia, is very ill. Speak to her aboat religions subjects about her aoul," is his earnest Mrs. Wltbam goea in, and flada Mra.

Dove wilh her body arohed and her limbs rigid, exhibiting all those aymptoma with which the poblio has now Bucb'a terrible familiarity. Mrs. Witham 'would ilka some further medical advice, but Dova thinks it might offend Mr. Morley, the preaout doctor; hesiiles, is not he (Dove) always at hand, night and day, to give hia wife medicine and attend upon her? On Thursday, the 28th, he writes to Mr. Morley that he haa full confidence in him, and ask a him "to speak to Mra.

Dove to-morrow on religion, aa she feels herself a He also wii es to hia mother thst if his wife haa another shock it will kill hsr, "lam nsarlv warn out. but shall cot complain;" "I will do for her what I can until I drop." Why should we go on Friday, tbo 29th of February, is the fifth day of the strychnine doses. He is quite enra that hia wife cannot recover. Did you notice, Mrs. William," he saye, "how I was obliged to go into the adjoining room and weep? I could not control myself." Thia day the drag appears to have been thrice administered, for the nnfortunate lady bad three separate and violent attacks, Jove' is telling everybody that his wife ia very every thinks, must be (he last.

"'Saturday, the 1st of March; arrives. Mrs. Dova is much better. But hsr huaband has no i.ope of her recovery. He aaks if there is a burial-ground attached to Burley churchif they bnry in the Cemetery at Lseds.

Aa usual, he is anxious about her spiritual condition, Bat to-day Mrs. Dova ia well enough to eat and drink, arid her husband's astonishment ia "extreme. Hb, however, kisses her affectionately, and goes away. When he cornea back it is evident that he has bean drinking. He is the worse for liquor," and very much ezcitefl.

Then comes the catastrophe. No small dose is given this time. When Dove hands ber the medicine the invalid complains how bitter it is, and the prisoner bastens.to wash out the glass. Drink and the deed he.hss p.erpejirated now prisoner excitement, so that he ia hardly master of himself. He goes away again, aod tha Iaat struggles of his victim begin.

Her screams arc heard in every part of the house. Aftar three hour3 of agony sha expires. Hsr husbind sits on the side of the bed and imprints a kiss on her inanimate bodv. Now, ws think that our readers will bave little trouble in making up their minds abont William Dove. Here is a man who gets drunk, abases, threatens, and beats hia wife, and finally takes advantage of her eeb 1 health and the knowledge he has obtaiood of a deaoly destroy her, with a cruelty and hypocrisy unsurpassed in the annals of wicked-ntee, The defence ia that he ia insane.

What evidence ia produced? No one had over heard that William Dove was mad. His neighbours before he committed tbo crime and his gaolers afterwards can depose to no acts of insanity. He married, was a candidate for a parochial office, and lived like the rest of tha world. But the history of his life ia ransacked for evidence, and we have Bohoolmaaters and farmers coining forward to prove what we might easily have guessed that he was always brutal, mischievous and malignant. He belteved in fortune-telling; in infancy he frightened his nurse in boyhood he waa stupid, obatinatf, got a pistol, with which ha talked of shooting his father, and waa expelled from school.

When growing np to manhood he' tortured animals, put vitriol on cows, hoisted their legs over beams, burnt a fence, blinded a cat, told lies about his expldta in Canada, and wantonly pointed guns at people. On these grounds an acquittal was demanded. With onr experience of modern trials we moat Sward some praise to the jnry who rejected shch a miserable plea. If ever there was a crime perpetrated with circumstances indicative of the most perfect sanity it ia that of William Dove. Acta of brutality and wanton mischief, an incorrigible temper, perverse-nes3, maudlin fits in the intervals of drunkenness.

eupotatU tion, and stupidity might, if necessary, be proved of half the ruffians who cut the throats and break the ribs of their wives in Whitechapol. The jury, however, recommended the prisoner to mercy on the ground of defeotive intellect. It ia this distinction, involving a kind of modified responsibility, against which we must protest. We need not say it wbb totally new in tbe practice of our criminal law until some? thing like it was lately accepted by the Secretary of State in the ease of a man named Corrigan, declared by a jury to be predisposed to insanity. It will he a somewhat dangerous precedent if these new refinements in mental pathology are allowed to influence our jurisprudence.

('A man spends aix days in poisoning hia wife with adrng whioti 'ho beliovoa.can-not be traced in the human remains he accomplishes the deed with tbe moBt consummate -art and hypocrisy and merely like Palmer himself, ha bays the poison incautiously and asks questions aboiit it foolishly becauae he haa been alwaya a nuisance to his acquaintance and a tyrant to his wife because he wonld not learn Saipture history at school and farming afterwards, he is to be held deserving of merely aecondaiy punishment. Are we, then, to discuss the intellectual qualities of murderers, and to hang only those distinguished for diligence and ability There ia certainly a theory very difficult to conteat logically that no human aetion can pa either praiseworthy or felameable, since every man only acts according to hia organisation, for which heoannot bJ responsible but the world has decided not to admit such nscas'aitarian principles. Free will is part and parcel of the law of England, aa of every other country. It must bs held that every man conscious of-right and wrone that is, who is not actually insane, baff sufficient intellect to enable him to reaist the desire to destroy his fellow-creatures. To say that a man is naturally stupid and cruel is only to say that he is a likely man to be a murderer.

The evidence produced for the defence is very good evidence to shov that Dove was juat the man to poison his wife, and some foreign countries it wqnld have been sought for and brought forward by the prosecutloiryhnt how it can be held to eatablish hia claim "to mercy we cnnot sea. There is a erS of pictures by 'Hogarth. "the Progress of Cruelty," in which is exhibited a career begun by the tor-, turing ef animals and ended on the gallows and in the dis-aeotine room. There ia supposed to he a moral tbia but if the principle enpnciaUd by the Yorkshire jury be established, we mast espect to have the fighting of poota-and the skinning of cats atteeteu oy uw claims to mercy, much 83 habitual good condnct has hitherto been, Wo trust that the government will hot assent to a doctrine which would weaken all the foundations of criminal jostica. iv JAMES DLEIR'S CASE.

Family Poisonkks. -An extraordinary trial haf just ken place before ttia Court oi Assize of-the Siinme, and has created extraordinary interest at Amiens and in tho rest of the department. Tbe persons tried were a man and hia wife nimed Geoffrey, peasants of Couroelles-sona-Tlioix, well to do in the world, and tbe circumstances of the case were these On the 13th of January last a farmer named Belin and his son were, after dinner, with violent pains and vomitings, which indicated thatthoy had been poisoned but medical assistance having been promptly procured, they recovered. As their dinner had consisted principally of a piece of pork which had been presented to. them by the woman Geoffrey, eiater-in-law to the elder Bdio, that man declared that hB was convinced that she had intended to poison him and hie son in order to come into possession of their property.

Thia led to an mveat.gaton, and it' turned out that the water in which the psrk had beon boiled was otrongiy impregnated with arsenic; that when Belin and his son were seized with pains the woman Geoffrey bad hurried to the honse, and bad at-temofd secretly to remove the remains of the pork, but had bsenpreventedV a neighbour and that after her husband had baen overheard to say to her, I am alost man, do not blray to which she, clehchmg he. fists, had replied, I cannot betray yon, for you done nothing, neither have I. You are an ignorant fellow, else yon would know that they cannot do anything against na if nothing be found in the meat." The woman was arrested, and it was then called to mind that ber father, mother, and sister had some years before died under mysterious circumstances. There was something eaid of- exhuming the remains of the father, whose came was Nollens, and on this the man went to the gravediggor, arid offered him 50f. if he would dis'nrb the grave of the old man flo as to prevent his remains from being "discovered.

Thereupon, he also was wrested. Tbe remains of the father lnviug been dug, were found to contain ft good deal of arsenic. He, it appeared, was suddenly taken ill on the 1st of January, 1817, and three days after he died. That the wo Dan bad poisoned him, and that her husband had been an accomplice in tho crime, was inferred from three circumstances; first, that her mother, who had lived in the same bouse with her, had, after tho old man's death, left it, had manifested the greatest repulsion towards her daughter, andhad always when the latter went to see her, cried almost with terror, Go away with you 1 I will not Bee yon 4.ui finnff.nt. linH shnrilv after the death, when in UUCUUU13, a state of maudlin intosiea.tipn, confessed to bis mother that, on the solicitation of hia wife, he had purchased arsenic for her to poison her father, aud had cried We are fled wretches; we havo committed a crime, and nothing will ever succeed with us again and in the third place, it appeared that the couple had a direct interest in gotting rid of the old man, inasmuch aa they came into poisession of property which nr.hnvwlnn lhav nnf hava had.

With KOSDeCt tO the death of the: mother of the woman, it appeared that it took place on' the 21at of February, 1818, after a long-continued illness, during which the woman, a reconciliation having, taken place between them, bad constantly been in attendance on her, and had prepared her food, and tbat the illness had presented all the symptoms of successive poisonings. In this case also the woman bad a Airart interest in the death of her mother, as it inoreaaed her income. On the 18th July, 1851, Madame Belin, the woman's sister, died, and proofs were obtained tbat she too had been got rid of by successive poisonings tha woman, and for tho oame reason- saw she.

We there had the honour of being presented to his Eminauce Cardinal Wiseman, at a re-wiou, at whica. were present a great number of the parish priests and other elergy-of his diocese. It seems to be a practice for the Catholic clergy of this great city to meet enca a week at the residence of tho learnea prela.o, where they can pour out their care3 into the heart of their father, and with him iu their hopes, and animate one another in the zeakua discharge of their labours towards the glory of God. Tha apostolic prefect was also presented to Prince Louis, son of Lucien Bonaparte. As a mark of his kind feeling, the prince gave tbe prefect a polyglot dictionary, of which he himself is tha author, aud, moreover, gave the prefect to understand that he won'd pay him a visit in Laptaud before the end of tha summer," One of the missionaries ia an Irishman.

A correspondent of the Guardian writes as follows There is a very considerable trench population at thia moment in Peru and Qalata. Kvory means are employed to add to it. As a proof of the great influence they have with the Sultan, I may mention that tbe French clergy and Sisteta of Meroy and Charity have nut only ohtuiuod in Galata and Pera grants of lands and houses for erecting their various establishments upon a great scale, but large sums of money for carrying on their operations, which embrace not only the instruction Qf the members of-rheir own church, of Greeks. Armenians, Tuiks, and Jews, but the relief of ihe wants aud sufferings of people of thoae nations. More than this tne Kronen authorities here have got from the Suitan firmans making over large tracts of land in the neighbourhood of Constantinople to different religious fraternities and sisterhoods of their intion.

Tha vast congregation' present on this solemn occasion gave unquestionable as well as most consoling evidence of tbe profound respect and affection in which that excellent pastor was universally held, and the grief with which his death was mourned.

(Before Mr. Justice Ball.) His Lordship, in passing sentence on those who had been convicted of being engaged in party processions on the 17tb March last, observed that it was lameutable to refleot that after all that had been by government to put an to these foolish exhibitions they were still at intervals indulged in. It being considered tbst-merely nominal punishment would bave bad the effect of: inducing the people to give them np, it had been utcal to let them stand out on their own rccogaizances not to take part iu such practises for the future. This coarse had been found not to prevent, bnt to encourage a repetition of tha offence. Tha crown was now resolved, for the future, to lot tbe usual penalties be pronounced.

The present was not an aggravated case, aud he waa disposed to think tho ends of justice would be satisfied by sentencing tbe traversers to one week's imprisonment.

But that 5s of little importance, O'Donnell and cannot coexist as political leaders roue or other must be tbo dio atorj and II O'Donnell does not begin by shooting him if he raises a tinn-r, Narvaez. the moment a new revolution gives him power, will probably perform that or some aim lar act of friendship for him. 'As soon as O'Donnell was installed head of the government he dispatoiied circulars to the captain generals of the provinces, calling for their adhesion. What the anBwer was 1 am not aware, but the Captain General of Saragossa replied at ones by the telegraph that he, the army, and the people, recognised no President of the Council but the Duke of Victoria.

A telegraphic despatch from Perpignan contradiots the rumour that Barcelona hod risen. i I have already mentioned that General Narvaez left, l'aris last night for Bayonne. He had left a day or two for Tiouville, a bathing-place near Havre, where Oueen Maria Christina haB been staying for soma time After a long consultation with her and the Duke of E.anzarcs, he started at once for Bayonne. He decided on taking tbisstcp, it is said, on being informed that a telegraphto despatch had announced the risiug of Arragon. the Klcja, and J3ilboa though with reference to ti.is last place, a despatch received yesterday said that the Basque provinces were then tranquil.

Ine plan formed between Maria Christina and her agents is to leave O'Donnell to struggle for some time, to exhaust himself against his advt rs'irics. and to encourage them as much as possible to resist Mm -up to a certain point, and when he becomes weak 'hat Narvaez shall btep in and snatch the prize from him, or to offer his services at once to O'Donnell to save the throne, and, once engaged iu the affair, to use his beat exertions to up Ml him in turn, and grasp the dictator's sword himself. If O'Donnell shows weakness from the beginning, and if Narvaez he well received by the army, O'Donnell will be denounced as a traitor for the insurrection of July, 1854, and got rm of-Or, again, if both go on for some time equally, 0 Donnell will probably be got quietiy out of the way by the bribe of Cuba, where he will be enabled to extort more millions i iton the blood of the slaves. Whether all this will succeed or not 1 cuofot say, but so it is planned. Maria Christina ff disquietude at the resistance said to be encountered by 0 Don-nell, whichiacaore than has been calculated on.

A. despatch from Bayonue, received last night or line morning, Hates that General Gurrea was at the head of the movement by the troops and population of that city fl'id province. Gcner.il falcon, the Captain-General, was, it is said, at the head of the army, and General Gurrea of the papula-tion and National Guards. A very serious step was about to hotasen. It was proposed that the Cortes should open their sittincs at there being 83 deputies to that oily, ov more than sufficient to constitute that assembly legally.

The intention was to put O'Donnell hoit lot, and call all Spain to rise against him infant, to follow ilie same oourae af formerly agalart Napoleon aod the Pi enoh amy. It was the that repreaentca me ws when the Koyal family was enticed out of the kingdom. It a euecessful stand be made at Snragosia in this fashion it is not uulikdy that other place will follow the cxi.nple. Of ISspar-t have no news, but it is probable that he remains a prl-toner at Madrid. It is said he was at once arrested.
