SONGS FOR THE PEOPLE . SO . XX . [ In announcing our recent " Feast of the Poets " we promised to give a notice of the poems and songs Of Robert Nicoii , and tbat promise we had intended to hare performed this week ; certain circumstances have , however , so occupied our time as to prevent us fuliillins our intentions . The promised notice shaU appear shortly . In the meantime we give the following specimen of Robert NicoU ' a noble songs : —1
THE HONEST AND TRUE . Your soldier is Woody , your statesman a knave ; Frae the true heart nae honour they ever shall hare : Their gutter an * tause » es 8 may gar our hearts grue ; Bnthonour to him wha is honest and true I Will ye bow to the coof wha has naething but gear 1 Or the fool wbona a college has filled with lear 1 Na troth ! we'll give honour -where honour is due—To the man wha has ever bees honest and true ! "We'll ne ' er speer if he come frae France , Holland , or Spain , Ere we pledge manly friendship wi' him to roaintain-Bebe Mussulman , Christian , Pagan , or Jew , Tis a' aue to us if he ' s honest and true !
His skin may be black , or his skin may be white , — We carena a fig- . If his bosom be right ; . Though his claes be in rags , an' the wind blawin ' through , VWU honour the man wha is honest and true » While the sun's In ibe heavens , the stars in the sky , Till the earth be a sea , and the ocean run dry , —J We'll honour bat him to whom honour is due , . The man who has ever been honest and true . Robert Nicou ..

With the wearing of the bone and the drowning of the mind ; Sink like shrivelled parchmsnt in the flesh-devouring soil ; Pass away unheeded like the waving of the wind ! Build the marble palace ! sound the hollow fame . ' Be the trodden pathway for a conqueror ' s career ! Exhale your million breathings to elevate one name ! And . die , when ye have shouted it till centurie s shall bear '
- "By right divine we rale ye . God made ye but for ns !" Thus cry the lords of nations to the slaves whom they subdue . Uuclasp God ' s book of nature—its writings read not thus ! Hear ! tramplers of the millions !—Hear ! benders to the few ! God gave us bearti of ardour—God gave us noble forms—And Cod has poured around us his paradise of

Sol say the sunny heavens , that smile on all alike ; The waves , that upbear navies , yet hold them In their thrall ; - 2 fo ! shouts the dreadful thunder , tbat teaches us to strike The proud , for one usurping what the Godhead meant for aH .

Bait's Edinburgh Magazine, July. Edinbur...
BAIT'S EDINBURGH MAGAZINE , July . Edinburgh : Tail , . Princes-street ; London : Simpkin andfMarshall . There are certain writers connected with this magazine who appear to be privileged to write nonsense , and among these , George Giiullan stands pre-eminent . In an artfele on the writings of Sir Edward Bulwer Lytton , he tuua speaks of Bisos . Byron ' s mind , in itself essentially unspeculative , was forced upwards upon those ragged and dangerous tracts of thought , where he has gathered the rarest of his beauties , by intimacy with Shelley , by envieus emulation of his Lake contemporaries , and , above all , by the pale band of his misery , unveiling to him heights and depths in his
nature aad genius , which were previously unknown and Unsuspected , and beckoning him onward through their grim and shadowy regions . He grew , at ouee , and equally , in guilt , misery , and power . An intruder too , on domains , where some other thinkers had long fixed their calm and permanent dwelling , his appearance was the more startling- Here was a dandy discussing the great questions of natural and moral evil ; a roue in silk stockings meditating suicide , and mouthing blasphemy on an Alpine rock ; a brilliant and popular wit and poet , setting Spinoza to music , and satirizing the principalities and powers of heaven , as bitterly as he had done the bards and reviewers of earth . Intothose giddy and terrib ! e heights where Milton had entered a permitted guest in privilege of virtue ; where Goethe had walked in like a passionless and prying cherub , forgetting to worship in liis absorbing desire to know ; and on which Shelley was
wrecked aud stranded , in the storm of his fanatical unbelief ; Byron is upborne by the presumption and the despair of his mental misery . Unable to see through the high wails which bound and beset our limited faculties » i . -1 ' « : tie life , he can at least dash his head against them , 2 f « oe « in " iTanfred , " " Cain , " •« Heaven and Earth / ' and « ' Ihe Vision of Jugdment , " we have him calling upon the higher minds of nis age to be as miserable as he was , just as he had in his first poems addressed the same sad message , less energetically , and less earnestly to the com-XCuaity at large , And were it not unspeakably painful to contemplate a noble mind engaged in this profitless " apostleship of affliction , " this thankless gospel of procLuuatioa to men , that because thev are miserable , it is their duly to become more so ; that because they are bad , they are bound to be worse ; we might he moved to laughter by its striking resemblance to the old story of the fox who had lost his tail .
The idea that Bvron was envious of his "Lake Conteiiiporaries / 'ifithaanot themeritofbeingtrue , at least has that of being new . Such an absurdity could only have arisen in the brain of the " gifted Gilfilian . " The whole extract , however , is abominable , and exhibits the author as something worse than a driveller—something very like a slanderer—a calumniatorof thegreatand nobledead . There is more rubbish of asimilar character "—forinstance , " Byron by way ot doing penance , threw his jaded system into the Greek war . " It is in this siraia , this precious critic dares to sneer at one of the noblest acts of a
man % vhom he has the assurance to denounce as a " sneerer . " These stupid and brutal attacks ( for this is not the first ) upon Byron , are very disgraceful to this Magazine . Thomas de Quincey coi . iributes an article on " The Works of Mackintosh , " in which , as usual , he does his best to mystify his readers , and spoil the pleasure they otherwise mu / ut derive from an acquaintance with his writings . The best article in the number is the one on " Mary Queen of Scots , " which is really worthy of all praise . The inii-restiugRomance entitled " Truth and Falsehood" is continued ; aud " Reviews" of several new workscuiidudetnisuuraberofTait . ISytucbyewemu-A protest against the sort of " reviewing" which some UHlucnV books meet with In the columns of this
magazine . Thus the 3 rd volume of that most ^ impartant work , " Eastern Europe and the Emperor Kkhoias" is "killed off" in something less than a dozon lines . Thus , salth the •' reviewer , " "iu spirit and object , this is a fitting supplement to the pre-jediiig volumes : much of the matter is quite as apocryphal , aud the spirit is not more candid . llad we not ourselves read the book , we should have supposed it to have been a worthless production , judging of it by this most uncandid notice in Tait . Hut we have read the book , and we assert that it merits no such , paltry notice as we find in this Magazine . We would not mind wagering tbat the Reviewer in Tait never read the book at all , but contented himself with " cutting open the leaves and smelling at the paper-knife !"

THE CONNOISSEUR , July , London : E Mackenzie , 111 , Fleet-street . This number of the Connoisseur 13 embellished with a portrait of Leonardo da "V- me :, and contains several excellent articles . With the views of the writer of the following remarks we fullv agree : —

riod , never , except in reference to himself , producing an unsound opinion . Even , the continued reference W himself , the weakness that left him open to attack from £ very " puny whipster , *? has much of excuse , when considered in copjvmction with the contemptible ignorance 61 those who too often undertook to lessen him in his vocation . To their drivel , Heydon could not resist replying ; and , ' in a war carried on in person against irres ponsible adl versaries , the frequent repetition of attack assumed the disguise ot general disapproval ; for incognito was importance to many to whom publicity would have been insignificance . Now that the man himself is beyond personal benefit we may expect a tardy expiation of the indifference to bis claims , and the supporters of High Art will be unanimous in being toe late . " There ' s something rotten in the state " ef this department of painting , when the artist ' s death is the only means within his pouer for providing for his familv .
An able article on " Ignorance of Artistic Affairs among Legislator . ?; " a clever criticism on the " King of the Commons , " aud Mr . Macready ' s personation of that character ; and an interesting memoir of •* Madame Castellan" will be found amongst the well-written articles of this number .

SCOTCH SPHERING . I waa considerably troubled here respecting certain roads , and applied to an old sunny-looking native who was cutting some hay with his pocket-knife by the wayside . It is true , I saw the inquisition painted in his face ; but there was no choice , so I made up my mind to a cross-examination of more than the ordinary length , and was determined to indulge it for " once . * ' How far is it to Killin !"— . "It ' s a fine day . "— "Aye , it ' s a fine day f » r joar hay . "— "Ab , there ' s no muckle hay ; this is an unco cauldjjlen . "— "I suppose this is ' the road toKillin ?"

The snuff , however , came just iu time to allow him to recall his ideas , which the nuts were near dispersing . " Andye'll be from the low country ?"— ¦ " Yes ; you may know I am an Englishman by my tongue .

The Umon Magazine. London: Barker And Wh...
THE UMON MAGAZINE . London : Barker and White , 33 , Fleet Street . We have heard of this Magazine , and heard it highly spoken of , hut wc have seen nothimr of it until this week . It appears that the first volume is now complete , and the second volume is commenced on a new plan , that is to say , it will appear in weekly ( threepenny ) numbers , and will also be issued at the close of the month as a monthly ( shilling ) magazine- The first number ( July 4 th ) is now before us and contains some well written articles . One ot these is the commencement of a series of articles on " TI 12 Jesuits , " in which the writer proposes to treat the subject under the four following heads : — lstly : The institution of the order by Ignatius Lovola .
2 ndly : Its progress under his eminent successors , and the several expulsions of the Jesuits from the nations of Europe . Srdly : The laws of England against Jesuits . 4 thty : Concluding- general remarks upon the doctrines propounded and the principles set forth by the order . These articles promise to he very interesting . From the first we extract the following particulars oi the life of IOSATICS LoTOLa , Ignatius , or Inigo , the founder of the order of the Jesuts , was born in 1491 , at the castle of Loyola , in the province of Guipusco : i , in Biscay , in Spain .
His father , Don Bertram , was the head of an ancient family , and lord of Loyola . His mother was likewise of illustrious descent . Ignatius was the " youngest of eleven children , eight sons aud three daughters . He left th » paternal roof to be educated at the court of Ferdinand the Fifth , as one of the pages to the king , and was , when at court , committed to the care of his kinsman , Antony Manriquez , a grandee of Spain . He embraced , however , at a very early age , the military profession , to which the ardour of Lis temperament and his enthusiastic constitution seemed eminently suitable ; and before he became su courageous a soldier of the church militant , lie had
distinguiilicd IUlllSulf in the Spanish a > inics , and at the seigc of Pampeluna by the French , had received a dangerous wound from a cannon shot which fractured his leg . In consequence of this accident , and the unskilful manner ill which the l ' v . . b was set , and the necessarily prolonged confinement arisingfrom the surgeon ' s breaking his leg a second time , he was removed from itctive service ; and an imagination , under ordinary circumstances ardent and irregular , became , under the influence of illness , peculiarly excited ; and a vision in which St . l ' eler seemed to touch and cure his limb , (!) followed by a most rapid recovery , mude him vesolve to devote the rest of his life to tlie conversion of Jeivs , Greeks , and infidels of
all nations . In sjiite , however , of this firm resolve , worldly vanity still held sway over his mind ; and in order to remedy tindeformity caused by the protrusion of a jiortion of the hone of the fractured limb , he caused it to be sawed off , and the leg afterwards to be violently stretched , thatU might not appear shorter than its companion . Uis resolution , however , in time overcame these remnants ol worldliness ; iu no degree daunted by tlie difficulty oi the ts ^ k , and th « u * h he was unacquainted with any but the Spanish language , he despaired not of the conversion of the whole woild . The military turn which hi ? early career lia . ] s iren to his mind , added to the romaniir notions which he had derived from l .-g-. nds of kni ghterrantly , wliieii had been the delight of his youth , am ! luV . urie ' s » i saints , mavivrs , and confessors , which had
been liiv solace of his illness , : nay account for tho martial character which Ids proceedings assumed , and the ills <•! " " a n-. ral .

the garb of a beggar j subsisted by the charity of the : in . habitants ; although his fasting for six days in the week must have effectually prevented the people of-Manre » a from being greatly straitened by his 'importunity . He here , during a period of almost incessant watching , pra / er , '¦ fl » d humiliation , ( praying j 0 „ j , jg knee ' s on the bare ground for seven hourg each day ) cast off those remnants of worldliness which had hitherto obstructed his coarse . Be now began to be reverenced as . a saint ; but disliking Buch notoriety , he retired to a secluded spot , and hid himself in a cav » , whence he was brought back , having been discovered in a state of utter destitution and exhaustion . He now fell into a , state of melancholy , but after a period recovered his serenity of mind . It was at Manresa , that he composed his " Sp iritual Exercises , " which were published at Rome in 1543 , and approved by a brief of Pope Paul III . in 1548 , at the request of St . Franci * Borgia , "
After bis period of probation at Manresa , he embarked at Barcelona , and arrived at Rome in 1523 ; and after an interview with the pope proceeded to Venice , thence to Joppa . ' He reached Jerusalem in September , 1525 , and after visiting every object of interest there , returned to Barcelona ; where , it is said , that , by the earnest prayers of the saint , the body of a poor man , namedLasano , who had hanged himself , was restored to life (!) . On this second progress te Barcelona , the saint was comforted and exhorted by numerous ecstatic visions ; many of which might possibly have had their origin in that habit so strongly recommended in the ' - " Spiritual Exercises , " of constantly dwelling upon'and realising the " forms and aspects of ( Jod and his saints . . ' . <
At Barcelona Ignatius commenced the study of the works 0 ! Erasmus ; but deeming these toolittle adapted to the ardour of his devotion , he turned to the writings of Thomas a Ktinpis , He next proceeded to Alcala de Henares , to study philosophy , but there he fell under the searching eye ] of the Inquisition , by the sentence of which tribunal he was imprisoned , on the charge of having induced a widow and her daughters to go as mendicants on a pilgrimage . He was , however , released or his agreeing not to utter his opinions for four years . . This promise he broke , and again suffered imprisonment at Sa . amanca ; but being again liberated , be went to Paris ,
where he diligently pursued his studies , though in a state of the most distressing indigence . He now began to attract followers to his standard ; the society was at first composed of seven persons , afterwards increased to ten . Ignatius next visited Spain , where he preached to numerow auditories against the : excesses of the clergy . He again visited Tenice , and there made the acquaintance of Caraffa , afterwards Pope Paul III . The little society now attempted in vain a pilgrimage to Jerusalem ; and at length it was agreed tbat three of their number , Ignatius , Fflber , and Liynez lhouldgo to Rome to seek an audience of the pope .
The three deputies from the order were comforted by heavenly visions on their journey , and on their arrival were well received by Pope Paul III ., and they then ggnt to collect their dispersed brethren . They now added to theirformer vows of chastity and poverty a vow of obedenee to a superior or " general , " whom they agreed to obey as Bod himself ; and that he should be of perpetu-il authority ; and they bound themselves to go wheresoever he should order without any viaticum . The Jesuits now grew rapidly into favour with the pope , and two of their number , Simon Rodriguez and Francis Xavicr , were deputed to the Indies , under the title
of "Apostles of the New World . " The pope at length , yielding to the solicitations of Ignatius , confirmed the order in' 1510 , en condi . tion of residence at Borne , from whence he dispersed his followers to all parts of the world . He was himself even more energetic than before , and the conversion of the Jews , and the institution of the " Community of the grace of the Blessed Virgin , " for reformation of women , employed no inconsiderable portion of his time . - Pope Julius III , again confirmed the order , and Ignatius continued " general " till his death on 31 st July , 155 C . His followers were then dispersed over the whole world . His canonization as a saint took place in 1662 , under Gregory
XV . Roman Catholic historians relate a variety of astonishing miracles performed by means of the relics of St . Ignatius , and , amongst others , the wonderful recovery of a nun who had broke her thigh bone , and who , on the application of a relic of the saint , immediately arose )!) , and ofoneAnneBarozellona , who was cured of a palsy at Valladolid , by merely invoking him . To these the candid reader may attach as much credit as he pleases . We have fulfilled our proir ise by setting before him a narrative of the chief events in the life of Ignatius . he may form his own opinion whether the actions of the saint originated in misguided enthusiasm or genuine piety .
We must see more of this publication before we pronounce a decided opinion as to its merits . Of the nunibe : - before us we have no reason to speak other than in terms ofconnnendation .

The discovery was made by the inmates , who . while about to retire to rest , observed a strong smell of smoke in the lower part of the premises , at the rear of the shop . Upon further examination it was found that the stock in the hack of the shop was extensively on fire . Information was forwarded to the Jeffery-squarc station of the London Fire-engine Establishment , and Mr . Fo-£ 0 , the foreman , and a body of men , were soon in attendance .

Alarming Disappeauance . —On Tuesday an event of very painful interest occurred at Ipswich , the particulars of which will be gathered by the following : — Mr .

The father and mother have been living for two months at the Ship Launch , and had sent for their only sr . n to stay with them until the VSSSel W . 1 S launched . Yesterday ( Monday ) morning he left his lodgings at a quarter before six o ' clock , to bathe , and
as up to the time of our going to press , he has not returned , there is every reason to believe ho has mot a watery grave , especially as a stock and coat have been picked up , which doubtless belonged to the de-cased , who was a remarkably fine young man , and a superior swimmer , lie onccjutnped off tlie quarterdeck whilst crossing the Bay of IViscay , and swam for his father ' s cap , which had bltwn off .

DEATH OP THBIliaHT HON LORD CHIEF JUSTICE "•"; -- '¦ ¦ -: - ¦ - . - ~ . . TINDAIi .,...,.,.. .. „ ,,.. „ ¦ : ¦• - •<¦ - We have to announce the melancholy fact ofthe sudden demise of Sir Nicholas Conyngham-Tindal , Knt .. many ysars Lord Chief Justice of the Common Fieas . ^ whicb event took place at Folkestone on Monday ' night ; at hallpast seven o ' clock , in the presence of his son , Captain Tindal , several members of his family , and biomedical attendant , Dr . Pennington . The Learned Judge , whose attention to his judicial duties has always been unremitting , was first attacked with illness in the House of Lords about ten days since , during the hearing of an Irish appeal . " Sheeney v . Lord Muskerry . " On leaving the house he complained of the oppressive heat , and felt in a sinking state , almost to fainting . On being
convsyed to his residence in Bedford-square he was suddenly seined with paralysis in the ' left leg , extending to the hip-joint , which caused his confinement to his bed . A few days since Dr . Pennington , his medical attendant , advised his removal to Folkestone for the benefit of seabathing , whitherhe was accompanied by his soil , Captain Tindal . This change did not , however , prove beneficial , and constipation of the bowels followed to such an alarming extent , as to oause the greatest apprehension amongst his attendants . Information was immediately forwarded to Mr . and Mrs . Bosanquet ; ' the Learned Judge ' s daughter andcon-in-lair , the former of whom instantly left town . The attack , however , baffled all medical skill , and he expired at the hour before-mentioned . ' ¦¦ '' , ¦'• ' '" . ' ¦
Nieholag Connyngham Tindal was horn at Chelmsford , Essex , in 1776 .: He was , according to one account , the son of an attorney ; another version of his story represents him as the descendant of an old Essex family . In the year 1795 , he was entered at Trinity , College , Cambridge . He took his degree of B . A . in 1709 , and that of M ; A . in 1802 . In 1801 he obtained a fellowship ; which he retained till his marriage in 1819 " . He was 8 eh on the list of wranglers , and senior medalist . After taking his degree , Tiudal came to London and commenced keeping his terms . He was called to the bar by the Society of Linceln ' s-inn in 1809 , and joined the northern circuit . He obtained at an early period of his career a high reputation among the profession as a special pleader , and rose , soon after he was called to the
bar , to a respectable business as chamber counsel . His want of rhetorical talent kept him from acquiring an extensive practice in the courts , and he thus continued for a considerable time comparatively unknown to the general public . The first opportunity no had of . djsplayinff to- advantage his professional skill and acquirements was on the trial of Queen Caroline . Sir Robert Gilford , the Attorney-General , who held eminence in special pleading in high estimation , selected Tindall on account of his reputation in thai branch of business , as one of his junior counsel . Tindall well repaid the trust reposed in him . He displayed legal tact and self-possession ; and he and Copley were the only counsel in support of the bill ( Gilford was a mere
lawyer ) whose general scholarship enabled them'to meet the dicursive appeals of Brougham to general principles . From thai time TindaB was marked for promotion by the Liverpool government . He waa brought into Parliament , for the Wigtonn ( Scotland ) burghs in March 1824 ; appointed Solicitor-General in 182 &; and adhering to the fortunes of Mr . Canning in 1827 , he was , although his claims to the Attorney-Generalship were waived in favour erf Sir James Scarlett , chosen representative for the university of Cambridge to fillthe vacancy left by Lord Lyndhurst ' s promotion to the peerage . SirNichofas 0 . Tindall made no great figure in the House of Commons . His Arrest and Mesne Process Act . his support of the Consolidated Bankruptcy Act / introdseed with the sanction of Lord Eldon , and a bill for improving the law relating to debts under £ 15 , are almost the only
records of his Parliamentary career . In 1829 , when Sir Charles Wetherell threw up the appointment of Attorney-General , it was Jolt that Sir N . Tindall could not , consistently with self-respect , allow his claims , to the office to be passed over a second time . But it was also felt that in the then temper of the Universities it was certain he would not be re-elected lor Cambridge . A negotiation was therefore opened with Sir / W . D . Best . The Chief Justice of the Common Pleas retired with a peerage , a pension of £ 31 * 50 , and the appointment of Deputy Speaker to the House of Lords . This last arrange mentin Lord Wynford's favour excited a strong sensation at the time , and was cancelled by the Grey Ministry in 1830 . Sir N . C . Tindall was appointed Chief Justice of the Common Pleas on the retirement of Lord Wynford , in June 1829 .
The deceased was the presiding Judge at the trials of the Bristol rioters ; Frost , Williams and Jones , and many others too numerous now for recital . Wc may allude to an observation which he made on the occasion of the trial of some Chartists in 1848 , for riot . A person connected with that body forwarded a message to the Bench stating , that he was refused admission into the Court because he was a Chartist , although he was employed by the solicitor for the defence . The learned Judge instantly rejoined , " Let the man be admitted , ne know nothing of politics here ; indeed , for my part , I don ' t know what a Chartist is . "
Ills wife ( a daughter of the late Captain Thomas Symonds . lt . i \ ., ) whom he married in 1817 , died about twenty-two years ago , leaving him seven children .
