The article which lias r _^ - " _* _- , tUat e » t _^ " Persia and ber i oets . _iins article has aiforded us great pleasure ; Irom a wegive tho following sketch ol the life of the r . _* Kiaii nu . t : — „
ABCt _KA _51 . M _FISlitfll Was horn in tha village- of Shadab , in the _diitrict of Tus , in Kliorassan , ab . iut the year ' Ml . His father was a gardener , and worked , it is said , in _ilie domaiiis of tlio governor of Tus . 1 I « and his brother _JIalisoud both seemed to have worked as husbandmen ; but in consequence of the insults of an enemy , the iiiglwcpirited yoet urg , d his brother to leave the spot , and seek : _inothar home elsewhere . Jl-hsoud , however , refused , prcferritiga life of persecution and insult , with certain 5 . ins , to one of uncevtaiuiy and danger . Firdusi _, however , Was no _waver-r ; his whole lifo is that of a Stormy , _iroii-will-dbeiii " , too _j . nMid in the consciousness of genius
to bow to _either the dictates of man or the _outrages ot fortune ; and he forthwith departed from Tus alone , to carve out a fairer destiny by himself , li . bent his steps towatds _Ghaz-. ii , where Mahmuud held his court , and had gathered round bim all the intellect of th » land . Here he formed aa acquaintance with the three _great poets ofthe day , Unsari , Usjndi and Furroki , and was introduced by them to the monarch , who gave hiin a favourable reception _, _lialiniouu" . great ambition was to leave a _histoiy of all tlie legends of Persia , a * a mouument of his patronage _t-f literature . Au old chronicle , called the ISastmi Xanieh ( something similar to that mentioned ic Esther vi . i . ) , had been lately discovered , and Firdusi wax appointed to make a series of poems , enibodjiug all the various legend * of _Pcvsianhiitory . He was promised
a uiaguificent reward ( a thousand gold pieces for every thousand couplets ) , and for thirty years he laboured at thai great work . Atlen : ; th it was completed in 60 , 000 cusplets , and tlie poet -eut the copy to _-lahm-ud , and waited for a reply . But he waited in vain . He had had th- ill fortune to _otfcnd a favourite of thek ' uig , oue Aiyah , who resolved on his ruin . He accordingly studiouity represented to the king that bis poetry was full Ol the most _daugeroui heresies , and that the poet had endeavoured to set tbe religion ot Zoroaster above that of Mahomet . M _. hmoud , alas ! was too ready to _believe , and the pour poet was left to wait in vain . After some months ot anxious expectation , lie seat an epigram , in which he Compares the Sultan ' s ! ib .-ra ! ity to a sea without a shore , " aud what though I have dived in it and found uo
_pearls ? Itis did fault of my nature , not of the sea . " But , as Sir TV . Jon . s say * , ' where an epic poem had failed , how could au epigram _iucceed V The sv-Ugwity of Aiyah had poisoned the royal mind , and _ilakmoud resolved to add itisuH to neglect , aud he sent the poet _GJ . 000 _dirrhems instead of pieces ofgold . Firdusi was in the bath at ths time that tha present arrived , and his proud soul fired at thein . liguity . He immediately distributed the money among the attendants , and exclainiud iii tha bhtjrness of his heart , "the Sultan shall learn that I _Ji-1 not spend my thirty years to be paid iu dirrhems . " liis bold words were repeated ( doubtless with _exaggerations ) to the monarch , who ordered him , with true Oriental _despotism , to be trampled to death by au elephant . Firdusi , however , after manv solicitations ,
obtained a _remission of this cruel sentence , and then returned to his house , and wrote the bitterest satire that aver _injun-d genius devised , and seut it to one of the courtiers , telling him to give it to the Sultan whenever p _ bl ' : c business should disturb bim more than usual . In the meanwhile belted from Gfrazni . and : < jok _refuge in Mazindaran . But he soon had to Hy elsewhere , as _ilahaou-i ' _s vengeance tracked , bim . and he sought shelter at _Ungdad . There die Caliph , Kader _liillah , received him with hospitality , till a steru message from tbe SuUaw compelled him to dismiss the fugitive from bis court , and send bim again tm _eiiie e > nthe earth . He was
considerably more than seventy years old when he was again driven from bis hiding place . It is not known whither , after this , ha bent his st « _j _.-s ; when history nest sees hiui he is _living in _wjnt and _ol-sceriry at his native place His sun , iadeed , went down in darkness . Poverty , old age , and the insults of friends and fortune , enveloped his declining years in sorrow and bitterness . There he died , and one feels glad io learn that when Mtilmioud , in tardyjustice and remorse on _bea-iug of his death , senttbe longpromistd CO _. _OlH ) pieces of gold to his family , his _daughter , with the true spirit of her father , refused thu gift , exclaiming , «• What bave I to do now with tha wealth ot kings ?"
Hows Illustrated Book Of British Song. L...
HOWS ILLUSTRATED BOOK OF BRITISH SONG . London : J . How , 203 , Piccadilly . We have received the concluding numbers of this truly national work , which we have beforetime spoken of in terms of the highest commendation . 'Jhese numbers , 2 o , 2 _ti , 27 , 28 , 20 , and SO , contain the whole of Lues ' s beautiful music in Macbeth ; the popular " Pray ( _ioodv , " from the _burletta of Midas ; and the world-wide famous ** Hole LihtaS . ma . " As the authorship of thit national _untheni is not gensrally known , we may be permitted to state that tlie poetry is supposed to have been the work of Thomsos , the author of " The Seasons . " Its original appearance was in a masque entitled Alfred , first performed on the 1 st of August , 1740 . in the garden of Wiefden ,
Berks , in honour of the birth-day of the Princess of Brunswick , and in commemoration of the accession of George I . This masque was the joint production of _TnoMsoJc . the poet , and Davik Mallet ; of these two , however , to Thomsos is assigned the honour of the authorship of "' Rule Britannia . "' For the music of this famous song ths English people are indebted to the celebrated composer Dr . _Aasz . We cannot take leave of this truly splendid work without offering eur humble tribute of thanks both to ihe enterprising publisher and to tbe talented and highlv accomplished editor ( _Geouok Hogarth , Esq . ) ,
for thU their noble attempt to rescue from obscurity , if not oblivion , the treasures of our national melody . _British vocal music , as Mr . _HoiuRiitremarks , "' isrich iu the highest beauties of the art , rich in nielo Jy , rich in _expression , rich in the poetry to which it is united . It is the fitting language of every variety of passion and sentiment . By turns sublime , vigorous , tender , and gay ; it _isalwaysairnple , natural , and unaffected . Our most cherished music is ' married to immortal verse ; ' and at the social board , or in the family circle , where the character of a nation ' s music is beet mider . tood and seen , it is the strain wherein dwells
' That magic sympathy oi sense with sound Widen pictures _sll it sings , ' and is followed by that heartfelt , yet silent admiration , which is mvst dear to the poet and composer . " This work is but a selection from tlie gems of British melody , hut in that _se . _V-c-tion is contained some of the moat beautiful compositions in the nation ' s language and music . Yfe trust that the _success of this volume will be such as to warrant at no _difctawi day the publication of a work on a still _larger scale , based on the same principle , aud with th . same object iu view as this . Let us add , to be also _conducted by the same ably-qualified editor . The biographical notices of eminent _compears and dramatic authors contained in this work , and the beauty of iu illustrations , add greatly to iti worth . Lastly , its exceeding cheapness placing it within the reach of all , makes How ' s Book of Lritish Sony a book for the people , to whom we heartily recommend it .
Pictorial Pesky Balladist—1'Abt Iv. Pict...
PICTORIAL PESKY BALLADIST—1 ' _abt IV . PICTORIAL PENXY _SJJAKSPE UIE-Paht IV . London : J . C . Moore , 12 , Wellington-street North , Strand . The part before _us _. ot the "Pictorial Balladist " contains , first , the dear , _delightful , diverting narrative of "John Gilpin , " v . ritten by the Poet Oowmsb . The _* torv on which . Vie ballad is founded , was . related to _Cowi'kh by Lady _Aistes . who had heard it in her childhood , and made so vivid an impression upon the poet , that the nest morning he told her the ludicrous incident had kept him awake with laughter during thenkht , and that he had converted it into a ballad . 1 . lirst appeared anonymously , in the i ' ublic Advertiser , in 17 S 2 . It waa first published , as Cowrcu _' s
avowed produeti ' _-n , in the second volume of his poems . Second , this part contains " The Bristowe _Trad ' . Tdie ; or the IVath of Sir Chnrlas Bawdiu , " written by the "marvellous b _:-y , " _Tuoiias Ciutter 7 o . v , who died by Lis owu hand , a victim to the world ' s crueltv , in 1 770 , aged seventeen years , nine months , and some days . This is one of the poems which Ci ! . mu : ioji gave to the world under the pretence of having been written by Uowl-t , the " _pari :-h preeste . " Tbis ballad is most pathetic and beautiful . " Tie F _.-a _=-t of Ah JLteuile _* , " a *" " " ' "' he Child of Elle , " are also contained in this part . Part IV . of the "Pictorial Shaksiieare" contains tlio _eoiK-h : km of the " Comcdv of Errors , " and four acts of " Much ado about Nothing . " The " Buliadist , "
as we Lave before said , is a most praiseworth y woik —well worthy the public ' s support . In the present day , when so many _eicellenteditions of the works of _Si'A'isi'EAitE are in existence , it may seem unfair to recommend any particular edition ; but thi s w < _s may .-ay , that _Moont _' . s penny edition is one that the poor . " -: can afford to purchase , and has , therefore , claims - jipwK the working classes , of whom " _"" _'•• e masses ate unacquainted with the > ublime works of the great dramatist , because tlieir pecuniary means will not allow them to _yurclaMs the more expensive editions . To all classes we recommend both the " Shakspeare" and the "BalladiM , " particularly to the working class . Every Englishman should possess these two excellent works .

We owe an . ipologr to the publisher of this Almanack for not be ' ore this time noticing his excellent _sixpennytrorth of information . Air .

Amidst the great variety of almanacks now published every year , it is somewhat
ditiicult to assign superiority to any one of so many able coin }» et . _tors , but we _in-y _safelv sty that this little annua ! will bear comparison w _' iih the best ot its rivals . The mass of information contained in this work is well selected , and . we think , leaves nothing wanting necessary in sueii a publication ; busiiliy whieh , it _p ossesses certain distinctive featiiies ofa very useful character . The Diani portion is well arranged , each day in the year having a blank space allotted to it for the insertion of occurrences , remarks , & e .

Howard . Mr . J . B . Hanson then came forward to move the first resolution . He said lie well recollected the last
occasion they had met in that hall for a similar purpose : party animosities then ran high , —the working , and middle , and upper classes were at daggers drawn . Tbe motion brought forward by their champion , 'ihomas Slingsby " Duncombe , for the recall of these men from tlieir invarcerituc-H , was b-st in the House of Commons by the casting vote of the Speaker , Charles Shaw Lefevre _, who never had a drop of the milk of human kindness in his bosom . They owed their defeat on that occasion t « that _gveiAtot of all _piAit ' icaA humbugs , Daniel O'Connell , who had promised to be at his post and vote for their motion , but he had betrayed them . Since that period a great change had taken
place in tlie public mind ; there was no longer tho same estrangement of feeling between the working and other classes—a brighter dawn had shone forth among them , and he thought they could not have a better opportunity than the present for demanding the ! restoration of their expatriated fellow countrymen , —men who had been illegally convicted , as he could prove from one of the highest authorities of the _day—Lovd Brougham , who hud declared in the House of Lords , on the 3 rd of February , 1840 , that these men had been illegally sent out of the country . Then , on what grounds , he would ask , should these patriots not be i _\ stored t « their homes and the bosoms of their families ? The
bamidian insurgents had leen pardoned , whose crime was much move _iniquitous than tliat of Frost , Williams , and Jones . Tho crime of the Canadians , as openly professed by their leaders , was to shako of ! the yoke _t . f the government of the mother country and establish a government of their own , iu accordance with that of the L _' ntted States : this was openly proclaimed by I ' ap ineau and Lyon Mackenzie . . Not so John Frost ami his exiled brethren . They sought to give more constitutional liberty to their oppressed fellow-countrymen . It was , then , their bounden duty to endeavour to effect their recall ; and if they remained , he should consider it to be th « fault of the people of th " t 3 country , and not the government , as lie was one of those who believed all power
proceeded from the people . Had they not , __ m the events that were passing , seen the effects of public opinion . Why , it had broken up one government , and in twenty-four hours displaced another . The present , " ho said , was a favourable opportunity for them . There was not such a _deadly feeling iu the Tories against the working classes as was experienced iu the _Wlvi _a _** . A * a proof of this , he need only refer them to the conduet of the two parties in ' 3 D and ' 42 . The Whigs had sent these men out of tin * country , and imprisoned most of _tlie-ir leaders , in ' 59 . In _M 2 , the Tories , after a mysterious outbreak , caused by none knew whom , —some attributed it to the Chartists , others
to the Anti-Corn Law League—5 !) were prosecuted , yet not one was scut to prison . This showed a different feeling on the part-of the Tories , tothe working classes , than was exhibited by the Whigs , lie was sure the Queen had more of the milk ofhuman kindness in her bosom than that cunning monarch , Louis Philippe , who had on more than one occasion granted a general amnesty to aU political offenders ; and if left to her he doubted not the result , as they were all aware thatthe brightest gem of the _IJritish crown was mercy . In the course of Mr . Hanson ' s address he read an extract ot a letter lately received from Mr . Frost , in which he entertained great hopes of seeing " old England again , and that at no distant period . He concluded _bvnioviug the following
resoluiions : — Th : it this mDetinj * is of opinion that it is a duty whicli _tliBV are called upon to _discharge , to petition Parliament to memorialise ber Majesty to pardon Messrs . Frost , Williams , Jones , and Ellis ; and that _tlu-y feel themselves more especially bound to take this step , inasmuch us her _llij- ! St > -has been graciously pleased to extend hcrlluyul _cle'in . _nev to those persons _conconiKil in the Canadian out break . This meeting , therefore , fondly anticipates that ber Majesty will be pleased to grunt a similar act uf mercy to the above-named indiviiluals .
Mr . John Gilbertson seconded the resolution , it being the only legitimate way of making themselves heard before the Legislature , lie knew that petitions from the working classes had very little weight in Parliament , because the members of tUe house , not being sent by them , had little interest in their demands . Had Frost and his brethren in cxiie belonged to any other party than that of the people , he felt convinced they would never _liavn beeu sunt out of this _country . But if their crimes were as great , as their persecutors thought them to be , surely they had , by their _incarceratn-u , atoned for them _^ The present he considered a most lilting opportunity for the accomplishment of their object , as they were all aware a _general election was at hand , and members sometimes granted to expediency what thev denied to justice , lie had great pleasure in seconding the resolution .
Air . John Armstrong moved the adoption of the petition , lie was glad a better state of things was appearing among them—by the uniting generally of the middle and working classes . Frost , and bis expatriated companions , _wisi-ed not to change the constitution , as in the case of the Canadian patriots , but to overthrow the yoke that binds the working _classes , John Frost was a truly patriotic character . In coming forward as he did , he sacrificed his own interest , as he might be said to _enji-y every comfort that could be desired . Philanthropy alone for his fellowcountrymen had induced bim to take part in their movement . He was one of the _tuo-it cautious men
Who sat in the People ' s Convention , which evinced to them that the most cautious might err . It' the modo they adopted to eil ' _ce-t their object was wrong , as he thought it was , tliey had sufficiently atoned for it . He had great pleasure in moving the adoption of the following petition , and as it would be sent round for signatures , he hoped all parties would unite and sign it , as it would be a further omen of the better feeling that was evincing itself among tiie middle and winking classes , and tend greatly to cement the bond < f friendship ofthe two classes . He then read the following petition : — To the BouoimiHc the _Commons oi Gnat Britain ami
Ireland in Parliament asscrM . d . Ihe petition of the inhabitants of thu borough of Carlisle and its environs , in pubiie _meeting assembled , Sboivetb—That . vour petitioners , availing themselves of tbe puncuful ami con _.-litutiunnl right , the distinctive piivilcjje of every comparatiwly free state— -the right of petitioning—lift the voice of sympathy iu behalf of four of tlieir expatriated _couiitrs' . ii-. ii . . That your petitioners , emboldened by the act of Hoynl mercy exhibited in the liberation ofthe misauided _Cutiitdian insurgents , earnestly _jray that u similar act ol nieicy be . Mended to John Pro 3 t , Zephaniah William * ,
William Joints , and William Ellis , b . v re _toving _tlie-m to the land of their birth and the bosom of their _fantili _** . That , while your petiiioiicrs deeply deplore the existence of the _I'xcitin _*; _causes which led to the _ewpiiiriaiion of the object * of _t' _^ _-ir intercession , they approach no » your honourable bouse- in the spirit of _iuipci-iousui _ . $ thev arraign no * the justice of _offendi'd law ; but they rest in the full consciousness that , should their prayer V responded to , the most grateful _fae-lings would beawahuued in the bosoms of thu happy recipients ofthe _UoyaU-le uieiiey , which would be shared in and long cherished by their _svmputhising countrymen .

DARHXaTOX . It is with feelings of pleasure I announce to you , that after reading the letter of that patriot and exile John Frost , in the Northern Star , it was immediately resolved by a few Chartists , to get up a petition tl ) tlio House of Commons , in accordance with tlie advice given by the Executive . As there is no society in the _* Sown ,. a few of tlie right sort set to work in right _gMul earnest in getting petition sheets , and _canvassBuj the town for signatures , and I am happv to inform yon that ; we arc succeeding well .

' This meeting , therefore , resolve to use all legal and constitutional means within their power to obtain tho restoration of the said John Frost , Zephav . tah Williams , and William _Jonc . » to thoii- _wive on . ! families .

_llIKMl . NCillAM . On Monday evening , the 19 th instant , a most important public meeting of the people of _fJiimiauliam , to petition Parliament for the immediate free pardon of Frost , Williams , Jones , and all the political offenders , waa held in the People ' s llall . Tin * immense number present , and the ardent feeling wliich pervaded the meeting , rendered it an unmistakeable demonstration of the strong fee-linus of _.-ympathv which exist in the public mind of this country io wards the exiled patriots , whose sase the people had met to consider . It cannot now he supposed that the government will resist the unanimous prayers of the nation at this period , and the more _especially , when royal clemency has been _estetitkvl te the
Canadian political offenders . A t all events , if this is still further opposed , we feel confident ( or we formed a very incorrect estimate of the character of this meeting ) that the tide of public feeling will , before another twelve months , assume a tone that the government may not think advisable to meet either with efticial or Parliamentary discouragement . We , however , feel assured that the present Alinisters will not exhibit the obduracy of tyrants , in refu _.-iiusj compliance with the public voice , or in disappointing the hopes aud expectations of tlie country ; for ihe ql'kstiox or _MKitcv to the unfortunate exiles is no longer to be taunted as one of _pau'it _, it is now tho public ' , and nation ' s demand . Mr . Counsellor Pago o . eeupicd the chair with much ability , and discharged
the duties of his office with the ardour of a man whose heart wns in the _cniws I ' m * vrhioh the meeting had met to promote . Air . Mason , Air . Linney , Air . Flissell , Mr . O'Neil , Mr . Thome , Air . _llili , Mr . Liuden , Mr . Parker , Mr . Mantle , and Mi * . Goodwin respectively proposed the petitions to Parliament and memorials to Sir James Graham and Sir It . Peel . From th <* peculiar position ef Birmingham , relative to local victims , a _elouble duty as well as double _wurl ; has devolved upon the friends of liberty here . lir . t k wKl lw gratifying to the country to learn , that there is every probability that a deputation ofa very influential character is likely to bo induced to wait upon the Home Secretary to procure tiie pardon oi
Huberts , Howell , and Jones . Air . Alason and Mr . Potts have been deputed to wait upon _sovev . _* . . parties in this town for that purpose and have received assurances already , that oneof the magistrates who held power at thu time of their ( the exilc - _s ) tranpotation , wiil compose'part of the deputation to I ' r . v Jioiue Minister . If possible * , we will also get the members for the boreugh to present tl . e _iaeniorial _* personally to the _Alinisters . Birmingham , however , has , and is doing its duty , for the vic . ims . Could the men in the Potteries not get up a deputation , to back the petitions and memorials lor Ellis ? ' _i'lameans pursued to obtain his conviction were without parallel in the history oflorai persecution .
