      "A feast of _nectar'd sweets Where no crude surfeit reigns . " PART I . Kofc to _interrapt onr selections from the deathless writings of the "immortal Childe , " we have deter mined fo commence the third of this year ' s "Feasts " with thc

      BEAUTIES OF BYRON . SO . SI . " _cailDE BABOLD . " The following stanzas picture In _glowing but truthful colours the national "sport" of the Spanish _pcoplc-thc bull-fight . "The Spaniards received this sport from the Moors , among whom it was _celebrated witli great pomp and splendour : "The Sabbath comes , a day of blessed rest ; "What hallows it upon this Christian shore ? % " Lo 1 it is sacred to a solemn feast : _Ifarlc' heard yottnotthftfOTest-aionarch ' sroar ? Crashing the lance , ie snuff ' s the spouting goro Of man and steed o ' erthrown beneath his horn ; The _throng'd arena shakes -with shouts for more ; Tells the mad crowd o ' er entrails freshly torn , _ffor shr inks the female ev % nor ev _' n affects to mourn .

      The lists are oped , the spacious area clear * d , Thousands on thousands piled are seated round j _Xong ere the first loud , trumpet ' s note is heard , "So vacant space for lated wight is found : Here dons , grandees , but chiefly dames abound Skill'd in tlie ogle of a roguish ere , Yet ever well inclined to heal tlie wound ; Xone through their cold disdain are _dooni'd to die , _Asmooa-struclv bards complain , by Love ' s sad archery . BusJi'd is the din of tongues—on gallant steeds , "With milk-white crest , gold spur , and _light-pois'd lance , Four cavaliers prepare for venturous deeds , And lowly bending to the lists advance ; _lUeh _arethcirscarfi , their _ehargersfeatlypranco 5 3 f in the dangerous game tbey shine to-day , Tbe crowd ' s loud shout andladies' lovely glance , Best prize of better acts , they hear away , And all that kings or chiefs e ' er gain their toils repay .

      In costly sheen and gaudy cloaK arrav'd _, Hint all afoot , the Ihjht-limh'd Matadoro Stands in tbe centre , eager to invade The lord of lowing herds ; hut not before The ground , with cautious tread , is traversed o'er , lest aught unseen should lurk to thwart his speed IfiS anus a dart , he fights aloof , nor more Can man achieve without tiie friendly steed—Alas ' . too oft _cosdemned for liim to bear and bleed . Thrice sounds the clarion ; ! o J the signal falls , The den expands , and Expectation mute Capes round the silent circle's peopled walls . Hounds with oue lashing spring the mighty brute , Aud _wiMl y staving , spurns with SOundingVoot ,

      . he sand , nor blindly rushes on his foe : Here , there , lie points bis threatening front , fo suit His first attack , wide waving to and fro JSs angry tail ; red rolls his eye ' s dilated glow . Sudden lie stops ; Bis eye is fixed : away , Away , thou heedless hoy ! prepare the spear ; 2 f « j w is thy time , to perish , cr display The skill that yet may check bis mad career . " Witli well-timed croupe the nimble coursers veer ; On foams tbe ball , hut not unscathed he goes ; Streams from his flank the crimson torrentclear , lie _llles , he wheels , distracted with his _ttirOES ; _Datt follows dart , lauce , lance ; lond belloirings speak his woes .

      Again be comes ; nor fart nor lance aratf , _Kcr ilie wild plunging of the tortured horse ; Thoiijcli man and man ' s _avenging arms assail , "V = iu > _are "his weapons , vainer is his force . Oue galhnt steed is stretcUM a mangled corse ; Another , hideous sight ! _anseaniM appears , liis gory chest unveils life ' s panting source ; Though death-struck , still his feeble frame he rears ; _Staggsnin-r , but _steiiming all , his _lordunharm'd he hears , Foil'd , bleeding ; breathless , furious to the last , Fall in the centre stands the bull at bay , Mid wounds , aud clinging darts , and lances _brast , And foes disabled in the brutal fray : Auu now the Matadores arouud Uiui play , _Kinkc- die red cloak , and poise the ready brand : _Oa-je more _tlirou-jh _allhe bursts liis thundering way ; Tain rage ! the mantle quits the conyngehand , _Tirapslusfwrcceya—' tis past—he sinks upon the sandl

      Bat , by thy name on England ' s bosom borne In pride , —while all her _son-s thy lineage boast _f Thy awful brow is shadwd!—Bost thou mourn _^ And bode thy darling commonweal is lost ? Jfay!—but we'll win h _« b-u-k , by Labour ' s _i _. ' . _'illiflredhoet She shall return , nith iace more _luavenly fair , And graced with limbs _offitlier--yiui-ieir } . _' — _Aye , —shall return I—for we thy kindred are : — "We'll win thy "mountain nymph , sweet iiberty"l— , Thou , ana the glorious phalanx of the free , — Hampden , and Pym , and ElUott _, _Selflen , Yane , _ilarvell , and martyred Sidney , —what were ve % — Our elder brethren !—and the kingly chain _i _' e loosed—we'll break I—ye have not toiled and bled in vain !

      Honour—all honour to thee , patriot bard !—With whom I took sweet counsel in my youth ; I joy , that though my lowly lot was hard , 21 y spirit-, raised by thine , forgot its ruth , And , smiling , dared the diat of Want ' s fell tooth : I joy , that all enamoured of thy song , — While simpletons esteemed my wajs uncouth , — I wandered , by day ' s dawn , the woods among , Or did , with midnight lamp , my grateful task proloDg Poet of Paradise , —whose glory Ulamed My path of youthful penurv , till crew

      The desert to a garden , and Life bloomed With hope and joy , ' . midst suffering , —honour duo I cannot render thee;—but reverence true This heart shall give thee , till itreach the verge Where human splendours lose their lustrous hue And when , in death , my mortal joys all merge Thy grand and gorgeoas music , Hilton , —be my dirge 'In this hook we are introduced to the spirits of three famous suicides , the two first Greek ; the third , _Indian—Emtedoczes , — who to be deemed

      A god leapt fondly into Etna ' s flames ; _Cleomhroxcs— who to enjoy Plato ' s Elysium leapt into the sea ; and _Caiaxcs—— whom Eraethian Philip's son beheld Amazed , —while pealing trumpets cleaved , the sliV , And warrior hosts the wondering tumult swelled , — Hide , on his goaded steed , undauntedly , Into the funeral flame , —scorning to die By nature's gradual law ! The discussion in which the two Greeks _engage , subsequently shared in by the Indian , seems to us somewhat tiresome ; at all events , the main portion ofthe book does not at all approach its spirited and heantifnl opening . Leaving the second , we come at once to tie third book , wliich opens with a magnificent address to the Sun : —

      Hail , glorious Sun . '—all hail the captive s mend 1 Giver of present joys , where Sorrow fain [ Would enter and abide , and , traitorous , lend [ Tier power to aggravate the tyrant ' s chain : — | Great Exorcist , that bringest up the train Of childhood ' s joy anncc , and youth's dazzling dreams From the heart ' s sepulchre , —until , again , l live iu extasy , mid woods , and streams , And golden flWers that laugh , while hissed by thy bright beams . Aye , —once mere , —mirrored in tbe silver Trent , Thy noon-tide majesty I think I view With boyish wonder ; or , till drouscd and spent With eagerness , peer up the vaulted blue "With suaueii eyes , watching the lark pursue Her dizzy flight- —then , on a fragrant bed Of meadow sweets still _sprent -with irorning dew , Dream how the heavenly chambers overhead With steps of grace and jay tbe kolv angels tread .

      In laaguage that does him honour as a man as well as a poet , he pays homage to the memory of his mother : — 0 heart , —now cold in the devouring grave , And torn , no more , hy scorn and suffering , — How fondly didst thou to thy darling cleave J Although thy tyrants ! but a worthless thing Esteemed him . Rankled , deep , oppression ' s sting In thy recesses : —still , in hardihood Of conscious right , stem challenge thou didst fling Back at thy _fot-men and their hireling brood , — And beat nnto old age with free and youthful blood ! Mother ! { b _y-vrroogs—the common wrongs of all To labour doomed hy proud and _scliish drones—Eaduringly bave fixed the burning gall J ) eer > in my veins—aye , in my very bones . _1 hate ye , things with surplices and crowns !—Serpents that poison ,- —tigers that devour Poor human Mod , _aiiS _SU thc earth with _gronns _. Through every clime God send ye were no more J Te'd have a merry requiem from shore to shore .

      Taxes for king and priest a knave was wont To filch from my poor _Avidowcdmother ' s toil ; And while the prowling jackall held his hunt , He fattened oa tlie offals of the spoil , And mocked tho sufferers I How my blood did boil When lately I beheld a gilded stono Raised to the memory of this vermin vile , And pious charity ascribed thereon . To him who gray beueath the poor ' s grim curso had _groirn . I laid my aged mother near the dust Of htr Oppressor : but no gilded verse Tells how she toiled to win her child a crust , And , fasting , still _toilfd on ; no rhymes rehearso _Eoivtenucvly she strove tobe tiic nurse Of _ti'udi and nobleness iu her loved boy , 'Spite of his rags ¦

      0 Sun , thou dost amerce My withered heart , for the poor fleeting joy With which thy beams began my sadness to destroy . The Britannia reviewer says , "Wc cannot neglect , still less despise , verso like this , because it is _minuled with much that we condemn and grieve over . Tliis man is often violent , my , coarse and brutal ; still he is one favoured of _milluiTos—atvue and genvufle poet . " lie continues his address to the Sun : — Thou gorgeous lamp to light man to the homo Appointed for att living!—though _ClatC Widi throb of liberty regained I roam O ' er paths to Life ' s glad morning consecrate"Will not thy flame foreshow tbat for me wait The prisor .-portals of the grave—and I but stay At large on _sunia-.. nce ?—for , the writ of Fato Will soon arrive , which not a breath ' s delay Brooks , of tlieir full surrender , from the forms of clay .

      Ob ' . _covutet thou bare tbat dark captivity Prom whence , released , none ever yet returned To tell its secrets—how our dreams would flea ! Was it to _fcao-. v Death ' s truths , in life , that yearned Tlie hoary Kelt who on the cromlech burned liis toother—hymning thee , tbe sky—through Goa : For ages , Jlan thy huge grey shrines batli spurned , -docking thy worship , * but , like all who frod Earth then , ia dreams , still arcain the children of the clod . ' * # # * Oil ! bow poor human thought doih mask Itself ! 1 think I see : I iliinl : I know ! What further ? _bought—to worms ! Although yo knock At truth ' s dark barriers—they wiil bear the shock Till doomsday—if it ever come 1 If sleep Eternal comes , mstcad—then , at a stroke ,

      Away , it will hope , faith , and doubting sweep : And , if _wa cease tobe;—why—we shall cease to weep . The poet glances at thc different forms and names under which , at one time or other , the deified _persolii'Ieatioris of thc sun have been worshipped by the Egyptians , Phoenicians , Greeks , Chaldeans , and tlie Celtic races : and the address closes with tho following beautiful stanzas : — God—claimed by regal Incas as their sire-Beyond the wave Columbian , where npcor . e Earth ' s storehouses of silver : sovereign lire !—Tlie _j-uung soul ' s natural god ! Visible throne Of holy - _> _atuva _" s sovereignty -unknown , Invisible •'—by whatsoever name Adored and deified throughout our zone—Thy worshippers all held thy risen flame Did for tiic soul adumbrate some great after-drame !

      On shadows these—and more—leaned to the verge Of _iheir poor pilgrimage ; and , lest I lean On shadows , tco—though thousand lights converge To deck with loveliness tbe _X . - . zarene—I hesitate , demur , surmise , and glean , _Dallv new grounds to doubt the Mythic dress _Pkceniciau woof , once more ! through which is seen , I fear , thy ancient faoe—bright Comeliness!—Fabling with future life poor gvavc-doomed worms to bless ! lie whom the Arimathean ' s tomb enclosed— - The good—the toiling one—the Crucified—WllO , ' Spile Of guards , the bonds of death unloosed , _Scatlcruig thc men of iron in their pride Convulsed to helplessness—and forth did ride Leading captivity captive ' . —Is he _not—Jlagu ' uic bja-. ii ' . —thpower

I love the Galilean : —lord and Christ Such goodness I could owu ; and , though enshrined In fiesli , co-aid _vfursliip -. It" _cmparadised , _Uavond tbe ? _rave , no Edt-n I could find _Restored—though all die good of humankind Were there , and not that yearning One—the poor iVbo healed , and fed , and blest !

Further beauties of thc great poet of Chartism we will de'ig ht onr readers with nest week . We now come to the lesser poets of our noble movement . _Pressed for room , we must , as i ' ar as possible , avoid comment . Claiming a wen-aequired precedence comes our northern Irish poet , whose simple , but sweetly-toned melodies have so otten graced our columns : —

      TIIE GLOAMIX' HOUR . BV J . M ' K . The summer morn is fair to see , iVhen frao the pearl y lawn The lav'rock springs sae cheerily To greet the coming dawn : But though the morn be * ' er sac sweet It wants the magic spell , That _maks me lore _tuegloamin' hour When wanderin' by mysel ' . I love to see the glorious sun Sink lowly iu the west , And gio the world a partite * smile ¦ Before he gaes to rest . I love to hear the robin bid The lingcrin' day farewell , As lanely at the gloamin' hour I wander by mysel ' .

      Tis then I call again to mind The happy days gane _' by , Ere yet the heart had tasted pain , Or known of aught but joy . On childhood ' s sweet and sunny scenes My memory loves to dwell , As lanely at tlie gloamin * hour I wander by mysel ' _. And when the rose faulds up its leaves , As if ' twere gane to rest ; And dewdrops sit as sentinels To guard its Muslim' breast ; 'lis then I quit the bustlin' town , And seek the lanely dell , To breathe a prayer at gloamin * hour When wanderin' by mysel ' . let others choose the empty noise Of rout ond revelry , I envy not sueh transient jovs ,

      They bae nae charms for me . But 01 gie me the dewy ee ' n _. The sound o' shepherd ' s bell ; Tbe peaceful , lanely , gloamin' hour When wauderiiv * by mysel ' . SEA-SIDE THOUGHTS . BV _GfOflGE S . -VCSSEV . Unbounded , fathomless , mysterious deep ! With yon bright heaven coeval was thy birth Here nature , bursting from chaotic sleep , first cast her glorious vesture o'er tha ' earth Onward thou rollest in thy majesty , Earth ' s deepest caverns echo to thy roar ; Wow in thy pride careering to the sky , Now softly sleeping on the pearly shore . Science hath boldly scanned the map of heaven , When circling orbs their sacred vigils keep ; But ne'er to her excursive foot was given The power to tread the chambers of the deep ,

      Imagination ' s dream alone may tell Of gem-lit grottoes , and perennial bowers ; _Yfhile gliding forms of grace and beauty dwell , Their brows enwreathed with ever-blooming flowers Who , when thy stormy waves are raging high , Come , in tlieir youthful loveliness and b . ' OOH ) , With angel smiles , and seraph harmony , To lure the fated seaman to his doom ? We know the gems that bind the monarch ' s brow Were filched from thy deep bosom , at the prico Of human life , for to thy wealth we owe Pull many a dark unholy sacrifice . Proud element ! on thy expansive breast Is borne tbe noblest work of human art ; The gallant shin in bridal beauty drest ,

      Goes forth with blessings from each feeling heart , Her course , how like the path of human life ! Sow , calmly gliding 'neath a cloudless slij' ; Nbiv , breasting with her strength the powerful strife , Nobly rcsolv'd to meet her destiny . Thou reckless register of human woe ! Myriads have sank a sacrifice to thee In Youth ' s rich bloom , in beauty's brightest glow , Man in his prime , and grave maturity . Millions , who sought with hope a mildw clime , To lengthen out the _fragile thread of life ; How have they wateh'd the ceaseless hand of time , Unmindful of thy elemental strife _. Breathing or supplicating prayer to God , A law short days their _flceiing liv # s to save ; So they might rest beneath their native sod , But found within thy depths a nameless grave ,

      _Fncnds I have lord repose upon tby breast , Yet not less sacred is tlieir ocean tomb ; For Memory _hovering o'er their place of rest _ir-atu twin'd a garland of unfading bloom . Wero wc inclined to he critical—there aro incongruities and i ' aults in the following lines wo might comment on : hut ns our friend is evidently improving , we say—go on ! and do better next time if you can . The two last stanzas of the following aro the worst , and we could liayc wished _tllOhl Olllitted : —

      AUTUMN'S _rOEPAllTURE . HY WHIIAM JOSZS , _mcESTEZt . On pillowing clouds reposing prankt in glory , Graced with a bow such as Spring often , _weavs , Departing Autumn sheds o ' er nature lioary , A smile that turns lo glittering pearl her tears . The old witch-elm that late so green spread o'er me In all its soft-dcenying tints appears , long lines of shades and sunny-varying spots , Around are moviug seen , ' mid spires and groves and cots . As peevish children in capricious mood Snatch mischievous at objects bright and gay ; The restless gales from oif the sighing wood , First pluck the pretty withered-ones away * . Thus Death removes die beautiful , tho good , _Sov often waitcth till life ' s Autumn day , Ah ! who would linger hero in age and anguish When all his powers decay and mind and body languish ? On every beut the vain-ilrcp lieth cold ,

      And trembles with lhe passing wind's least motion ; And falls when its caresses grow too bold . Thc swollen rivers onward to the ocean O'er plaiu and precipice their progress hold , And murmur in their haste as with the notion—That winter coming soon from polar lands Will freeze and fetter them with bis congealing bands So the big tear-drop trembles in the eye Ofthe poor emigrant about to roam From early friends , loved scenes , and . native sky , To find in distant clinics a happier home , So hastes he seaward _murmuringly—and why \ He knows the wintry / _-H'im ; soon will come , Congealing all the springs of industry And _fiiling many a cot with haggard misery ! Tbe bright clouds rest above , tho dark roll under , And ' midst tlie fleecy-beautiful between , As in soft cradle sleeps the infant thunder ,

      _AVho soon will wake and try bis voice I ween . A truant rout , each eager first to plunder Of hip and wild berry tbe bramble green , Hush forth . How ardent is thc youthful mind A tcudril to be trained—a metal to be coin _' il . The swallow tribes arc gone—their twittering glee I beard no longer is these skies of ours , The lark that soar'd so seraph-hko and free Is mute—and so arc all that charmed the bowers , Except the robin iu its wonted tree , Warbling its hymn clear as in vernal hours . 'Tis thus with mc—my tuueful friends arc flewn , And I am left , like the swe . -t bira , to sing alone .

' ' _DT THE LAST BAUD 0 _P _lIUEFF . tl , lives there on earth , whatever be his lot , ' But turns betimes to one selected spot SonlO _llilllow'd home of sweet remembrance , -w hore In every interval of toil mid call ' , ' His harass'd reelings ever lind repose , And hopes at last his wanderings there to close ?

      On summer nights , when roses quaff the dew , And twinkling stars bedeck tbe cloudless blue , . How sweet to him nho , wandering long away , " Now homeward plods his solitary way . What happy feelings in his bosom glow , When from the shed he hears his own cock crow ; The noisy landrail in the grassy sward ; Old _Casdr ' s barking from his kitchen yard ; And purling waters musicall y flow , Where briars and _hasel shade the stream below ' . Moro near , by twinkling starli ght , now he sees His cottage windows gleaming through the trees : Tlie grassy lea with hawthorns dotted o ' er , Around his home . green to die very door ; The weedy pathway winding down tlie doll ; The ancient poplar leaning o ' er the WtV . * , The bo . \ . treo thicket roun d die garden gav , That oft his fancy pictured far away ; These in succession , as they rise , illmno His heart , delated with the jovs of home .

      How happy they whom gentler fates allow In their paternal fields to reap and plough ! From youth , through manhood , to declining age , The selfsame prospects all around engage . Each valley , mountain , bush , and stream _revei- _'d , By long acquaintance and old names endear'd , Even to the very churchyard sod allied , Where honoured parents moulder side by tide . Within those graves , preserved with pious care , When Sunday brings their children musing there _. As thus from lifo these also wend their way , The weeping neighbours crowd their burial day .

      Sweet is that homo where , round their evening nro , The wedded pair from daily toils retire . The lire , fair blazing through the twilight gloom , Illumes the clear hearthstone and whitened room While happy children , at their artless play , A holy purity of mind display . The wakeful cricket tunes liis evening song ; The clock proclaims the hours that steal along Bright glow the embers , till ( lie window ' s light Rejoice some weary traveller ofthe night . The happy father , willing to be blest , To tenderness and love gives all bis breast ; The mother steals a leok of holy joy , Where on her bosom sleeps their infant boy .

      _Neglectful ofthe half-uncover'd breast His little waxen lip had lately press'd , Smiling she tells , while yet he sleeps away , Of all his sports and frolics of the day * , Boasts ofhis growth , adjusts his curly hair , And asUs again , " Is he not very fair V Then , as she softly sings him to repose-As wildly sweet the song melodious flows—With secret joy her happy husband bears .

      WADE'S LONDON REVIEW—Septhmiibii . London : C . B , Christian , Whilefriavs-strect , Ficctstrcct . " _GWiYiCvcml Aspects , Locomotion , and Railway Speculation" are tlio subjects treated of in the first and principal article of this month ' s number . This article is ably written , ami contains much that we accord with ; but much also that is crude and unsatisfactory _, ir tliis writer would dive deeper he would be wore likely to succeed ill bringing up the pearl of truth . " He ' s too much the Gentleman , " is the second of a series of well written papers entitled " Leaves torn from a Record of Life . " Those

      papers are written by a lady , the productions of whose pen always delight us : the sound purpose Of ltd " writings , aided by their charming simplicity , place them amongst the best of the contents of this publication . " Ambition ; a Greek talc , " 13 continued . Who is " II Vagabondo V lie promises to turn out a most amusing - vagabond : wo shall look forward to the continuation of his reminiscences With 110 Small interest . TilO most important of the reviews in this month's number is that of tho " Memoirs of Sophia Dorothea , Consort of Georgo I . " This book fully discloses the horrid character of that abominable

      monster . " The / irst of the fools _ai _* d oppressors called George . " This royal brute , before he wa 3 imported into this country , and while he wns yet a _beggarly Hanoverian prince , having for some time treated hi 3 wile , the unhappy Princess of Zell , _Sojiliia Dorothea , with neglect anil harsh usage , at the same time cohabiting with otlier women , one of whom a Mademoiselle _ScuCLENUunc , had borne him a daughter , and his wife hearing of this , naturally upbraided him for his infamous conduct : —

      lie retorted in a style that could only have come from a vulgar profligate , lost to every sense of decency and honour . Tliis excited the Indignation of the princess to such a degree , she expressed her ideas of her husband in language that stung him to the quick , and stung him the move , because be knew bo richly deserved it . As he bad stooped to be a profligate , lie bad not much lower to degrade himself iu becoming a brute ; and the persons in the ante-room were presently alarmed by bearing serDams and cries for assistance , ami rushed iu . just in time to save tlieir mistress from strangulation .

      Most of our readers will know that after the treacherous and horrible uuivdcr of the unfortunate Count Konigsmark , the princess was compelled to sign articles of divorce , and consigned to imprisonment for the remainder of her years . Her execrable husband , broughthitiierbythe traitorous Whigs , was made King of England ; but she shared not in his new honours . The end of his career is told in tho remarks of thc reviewer of tho " Memoirs : "The t * rant , grown grey in the midst ofhis infamous and licentious Court , relaxed not in the harsh , unjust imprisonment of bis consort . She died , mid at length bis conscience awoke , in timo to torment , not to cause repentance . It bad bceu prophesied that he would not long survive hcv , and , ou hearing of her _death , ho sank iuto a deathlike torpor , from which fury alone against his son temporarily roused him . A marvellous narrative is related of the immediate cause of tbe king ' s death : it needs uot , however , a _supsruatural agency to punish the

      evil deeds of mnn , en * cause his own remembrance to become a ptiuishnwnt too hard to be endured . In the disputes with the heir of bis kingdom , the infamous pi tin * deriiig , die vile conduct cf Ids Court , the wars which rent bis new dominions , ami continued during the reign of tlie second of bis name—in the reproaches of his own heart , the _desolato friendlossuess of bis death—above all , the infamous name h « has bequeathed , to posterity , wo s « e the just retribution of his crimes to liis guiltless wife . The sins of the father were visited an die children to the third and fourth generation . Loug after bis time was tbtt house of Urunswiek distinguished for their vices rather than their virtues . It is said when Queen Caroline , the _long-lM-xsceuteil wif * of George IV ., refused the increased allowance ottered to her , _slic was toasted as " the only member of die house of Brunswick thai ever refused money ! " Yvith equal justice might tkey on that day , at least , have been distinguished as " die family , no member ot * which ever behaved well to a woman !"

      Lo.Ndon Corn Exchange, September 15.—Dur...

      Lo . ndon Corn _Exchange , September 15 . —During tho past week the arrivals' of wheat of home produce were _seasonably good , but of very middling quality , the bulk being composed of new parcels prematurely threshed out . The receipts of English barley , oats , and beans were small , those of malt , peas , and flour tolerably extensive . Of Irish oats , owing to the long continuance of easterly winds , tho fresh supplies were small , while the imports of foreign wheat , oats , nnd hlOSt Other articles wore not to say large . TJo to this morning's market only moderate supplies of wheat came to hand from Essex , Kent , and _Cambridgeshire consequently thc stands were by no means heavily supplied . The attendance of buyers being numerous , and the demand for foreign wheat active , the trade for all kinds of English wheat was active , at an advance in the currencies obtained on this day

      se nnhjht of from ls . to 2 s . per quarter , and at which a good clearance was effected . The letters which have reached us from the Baltic and other parts today are of a firm character . From _Dantzic , une ' er date the 12 thinst ., we learn tbat wheat had advanced there 5 s . per quarter , arising from thc large orders received from Holland and Belgium . This , together with several buyers being on the market from thc latter portions of the continent , gave great firmness to the importers , who were asking extravagantly high rates i ' or bonded wheat . The transactions , however , were not very large , but about 12 , 000 quarters sold for immediate shipment to _Belgium nt prices as high as 50 s . for middling red . Free Foreign wheats were held at ls . to 2 s . per qr . more money , at which a fair amount of business was transacted . As some of thc speculators are anticipating a decline in the duty on Thursday next , very little wheat has _baen entered for home consumption since our hist , IVc had a very small supply of barley , English as well as foreign , on sale , hence thc demand for that article was steady ,

      at hilly , but nothing quotable bcyoild , last week s currencies . In bonded barley a few transactions took place at late rates . Tho supply of malt being more than adequate to meet tho wants ol'tJie dealers , the demand ruled heavy , and previous rates were with difficulty supported . Of oats wo had a limited show . On the whole the oat trade was in a sluggish state , yet we can notice no alteration in value . _" The sale for beans was tolerably steady , at late rates . Peas , owing to a largo quantity being taken for _Belgium , were iirm at an advance of from Is , to 2 s , per qv „ and at which nearly thc whole on oiler were disposed of . The flour trade was steady , and previous figures were well supported . The sale for must . 'inl seed was firm . In other kinds of seeds very little was _doiiisr .

Some , who had no nation of what an invasion could be like , ran downto tho beach , to look at it ; ami orhers , who had no nation of heins _present nt a thing of the kind , hurried oft' to town by tho first train after the French steamer appeared in the offing . The one artilleryman , into whoso anus all _liriuhton

" Happily , tho whole turned out to bu a false alarm ; and originated in tiic fact that the French , not knowing how to construct a breakwater , eamo over to see how Captain Taylor had umdo his . Tlio crew of tiie _Fre- 'ieii steamer , aftei' iaokmg at tho breakwater , and refreshing' themselves with soma shrimps and small _bscr , returned to their vessel , where "Men _cillcr "—no go—was oulercd in the logbook as thc result oi' their expedition . —Ibid .

As it was the express duty of the reporters to relate everything remarkable , it is not very likely they would have omitted such a melting proof of tender-heartedness as tliis .

The Standard , however , asserts thc facts of royal tearfulness , and everybody knows that the Standard is a paper so devoted to truth , and so invariably accurate , that ifc were treason to doubt that hcv Majesty wept tiic fate of thc deer despatched bv her princely consort .
