As we hare already said , although so _Boonapartitti the forced restoration of the Bourbons was gall and wormwood to Bebangeb , who mourned over the _prostration of . the tricolour and the exaltation ofthe white flag of Legitimacy . His sentiments ob this -subject are well shown-in the following verses , _supposed to be addressed by a soldier of the Republic . and the Empire , to his veteran comrades : —

Alas ! the . tricolour ia now a _rBhonomedrSag Kot the despoUsmof Napoleon , not the perfidy of Loms Philippe , could make the nations lose fait in the banner of revolutionary Trance ; that _ditgraeeful consummation was reserved for the pretended Republicans of 1848 . TheLamartines , Mar . rests , and Cavaignacs , by their treason to the demo _, cratic cause , have damned the tricolour . They have not merely * dimmed its noble colours three / they have made the flag itself hateful to the suffering ¦ millions both at bame and abroad . Under the
_Republican tricobur of 1848 , the men who by their valour and blood made the revolution , hne beta . swindled out ef its fruits , and given over to pro * scriptionand _matwere . Under that flag , too , Poland ins been abandoned , Italy betrayed , and the honour of France basely truckled away for tiie advantages _^) of the English alliance . The tricolour is now as obsolete as the colourless rag . of worn-out Legitimacy . Henceforth for the democracy , the red flag is tiie symbol of struggle , the emblem of hope , and the presage of victory .
We haTe not at hand , although we have seen , a more spirited translation than the following ,

In this poem we are presented with a picture oi the working of the py stem so much lauded by Thiers , Cousin , and the rest of the army o ! locusts who directed grape shot npon the workmen of Paris in the . fatal days of _Joue . 'With good reason may the labouring masses of all lands ask with the dying beggar , . . "What eountry ha * ths poor to claim I "
_Beoakgkr is the poet of the suffering millions . ' The people , says he , 'that is my muse . * * "When 1 speak of the people , I mean the crowd—the mass—the very lowest , if yon will . They may not appreciate the achievements , of intellect , or the refined delicacies of taste : be it . so ! Bnt for that very reason , authors are obliged ; to conceive more boldly , more grandly , in order to arrest their attention . Adapt therefore to their strong nature , both yonr subject * and their ityle of _/ treatment : it is neither abstract ideas ' nor figur « JwMch _' they require of you : show them the nakedTinman heart . • • ' According tb an iuveterate
habit , we still judge of the people with exceeding prejudice . They present themselves to us as a gross mass , incapable of elevated , generous , or tender impressions . Yet if poetry has a resting-place in the world , it is , I firmly believe , in their rank * that you must go seek for it . But to find it , you must first study this people . ' Would that our authors set themselves seriously to labour for this crowd , so well prepared to receive the instruction which tbey need . In sympathising with them they wonld help to render them more moial and tbe more they added to their intelligence , the more would they extend the domain of genius and of true glory . '
The picture of the wandering beggar dying on the roadside , and with his last breath cursing the state of society wbich had made him a vagrant and doomed bim to a dog ' s death , will be appropriately followed by the following city sketch of the wrongs of the poor : —

THE COMET OF 1832 .

' We hear , and can well believe , that Bbbanoeb is almost heart-broken at the miserable failure of the February revolution ; and we fear that more than ever he at this time thinks _« the world is all too old . ' But we trust that better , brighter days are in store , and that , in spite of the composition following , the poet well live to see' the ' good time coming . '

Cremorne Gardens. A Novel Asd Daring Aer...
CREMORNE GARDENS . A novel asd daring aerial feat was attempted en Monday sight , at Cremorne Gardens , in theBhapa ef an ascent of Mrs George Batty , the ' Lion Queen , ' with a soble lion in the Royal Cremorne Balloon , piloted by that daring aeronaut Lieutenant Gale , R . N . The announcement . _attracted a large oonoouree of spectators , who , during the process of inflation , evinced the most lively impatience . Thia operation having been completed , a den constructed expressly for the occasion , / and : formed of oak , braced and tarred with iron , was brought on to the ground , and attached to the balloon in lieu of the car , by strong lashings and cord ? , the lieutenant standing on
tbe top within tbe hoop at the neck of the balloon , surrounded with ballast bags ; grapnel and ether instruments for a descent , while the lady was to occupy a seat on the book of her _compagnon du voyage , attired In all the . panoply of a glittering helmet , with flowing ostrich feathers , a shining suit of mail armour , and silk fleshings . The Hon shortly arrived irom the amphitheatre in the Westminster road , attended by Mr William Batty and Mr George Batty , of whose splendid menagerie he ia a prominent member . At about a quarter to six o ' clock , Lieut . Gale called for the lion , for the purpose of weighing him with th * den , asd the noble animal having been introdaoed from the one cage into the other , the Lieutenant gave the signal , and the
balloon made a partial rise , ascending with some difficulty , while the lion appeared perfectly indifferent . On descending the Lieutenant threw away the greater portion of his ballast , and Mrs Batty entered the den and caressed her favourite , and all being in readiness , Lieutenant Gale pulled the 'liberating iron / but . the ascent waa alow . The balloon had scarcely oleared the trees when the Lieutenant found that he had not sufficient power . Be threw out ballast , but it was of ho avail ; and it was perceptible to every one , that the machine could not rise with the enormous weight affixed to it , about sine
hundred pounds . The ; lieutenant , then addressed the spectators , stating . these , faot * , and declared his intention to go rip , with the . lion . alone .. Mrs Battythen quitted the den , aid' curtesyiog to . the spectators , left the ground amidst the plaudits of the conpaoy . The preparations _ibeing ready , the signal was given , and away sailed the balloon , taking a south westerly direction , the wind blowing from the north east . The gallant Lieutenant descended in perfeot safety at Morflake in Surrey . The ascent , it is said , will be repeated . These splendid gardens will shortly close , and we strongly recommend our readers to take an early opportunity to visit them .
