ILLUSTRATIONS OF A LITERARY LIFE OF THE LAST CENTURY . ( From ihe I'luminaled Magazine ) THOMAS CHATTERTON . ( Concluded from our last week ' s paper . J The public advent of Master Rowley soon followed . Thia took place in Felis Farlej / s Journal , in September , 1768 , when the interesting cireumsunce of the completion of a new bridge at Bristol was comn ? em orated by the appearance of an account of tbe first passage o * eT the old bridge by the Mayor of Bristol some centuries before , Tbe document , it is worthy of notice , ia known beyond danger of mistake to be Chattetton ' a own production , and may . therefore , be taken in itself bs a tolerably sufficient proof , were proof now needed , that all Rowley ' s later compositions were derived from tbe same prolific brain .
Soon after tbe account appeared , Cbatterton told an acquaintance , Mr . John Rmlhall , that be was tbe author of it ; &nd on one occasion , he showed him the whole process of manufacture , from the writing , with its imitation of old English , to the shrivelling of the parchment over tbe candle . Noth ing could exceed tbe surprise of the citizens on the leading of this paper , and their curiosity as to the circumstances of its discovery . The printing-office was beset by unsuccessful applicants ; the issuers of the document knew nothing of the author . But Chatterton , delighted with tbe sensation he bad made , took another article for iuzertion , and was immediately recognised as the boy who bad brought tbe account of the bridge . The mode in which he was treated , explains much that might otherwise appear inexplicable in Chatterton's history .
Meagre as are the records of what passed , they tell us but too plainly that brutal threats at tbe very outset caused Cbatterton to turn haughtily away , and flatly refaeo to give any kind of explanation . Had there , indeed , been among them but one man of discernment and be : evolonce to have said to Chatterton , " This is an extraordinary paper yon have produced , and if you are not ite author , you merit the thanks of the community for rightly appreciating it , when it crossed yon : but if you are its author , why
not acknowledge yourself , confess your motive , and trust to me at least that you shall not want a friend to aid you in developing your great powers in their natural guise . " Had there been but one such man , what might not Cbatterton bave become !—what a melancholy history might not have been spared to the world I There-are a thonsand evidences in Cbatterton'fl charac ter that be could not have resisted such an appeal ; nay , we firmly believe that some snch hope was constantly at work ia Chattertou'a own breast . Ha yearned for lame ; be was only ^ bappy vhm nsiag tbe gi ft * God

But a short time after this , Chattorton , while spendini ; the evening with a party of compiuions , drawi a pistol from hia p » ck « t , aud remarks , " Now , if oue had thu courage to puil the tri « gtr . " Then ag-iin , one day there is found in the otfioo desk a letter to a friend , ttliii n him that whon he receives it he shall be no more . This alarm st * rcely passed frowi his master ' s mind , there is found a will , with tho commeDcement , "All this wrote between elfaven and two o ' clock , S )\' . urday , in the a ; most distress of mind ; " and then comes a Btrannn outpourini ; ' of prose and poetry , with tbe announcement that he i 8 about to cou nt suicide . This can no longer be passed ovtr ; the absurd boy may kill himself , but he mustrt do it in a respectable attorney u office—Lambert dismisses him .
The joy at this escape hpgets new hopes and en&rsies Si ^ kiug every possible mode of oblainii g the grand primary oJj . jc ' . of his ambition , tiumoly , aa tacome by tne txorciao of his pen , Chatterton lja-1 already tuu-Mecteci k nisi if with numerons L ) mlon periodicals , anrl h re poured forth puenis , satires , political articles , 1 , 'ifus , Bui'gi , nnd catches in inexhaustible profusion ; unepoein aloDOj " Kyw Girdens , " extended to 1300 lints . Ho will now venture boldly into the m- trv > polis . H-jw can he , with his talents , his industry , his uurrating energies and devotions , fall ? Perhaps he has erred in all this K ) Wlay business ? Well , it is pissed . Ho will now do what ho c . tu to obtain br , tid , i > y the avowed exercise of his own talents . JSowe of his Bris' . olian frisnf !* subscribe each a guinea , and the
boypoet of Sbventebp , but who could already look back as from th elevation of old age upon a most eventful and productive life , is n w in London . And truly wonderf »! is the amount of his labours thtrj ; and his letbrj hoaio seem to oveiflow with tho intoxication nrsing from their auccees . A slight cdango it perceptible as tuna pass-a ou , but nut in matters that can aUrm the fond mother and sister ; still come the kind and thoughtful presorts ^ still does every epistlo dwell upon whit the boy is doing or intending to do in the pi c motion of their comfort . How can he but be doing well ? Amon * other tokens of his creasUess , he tells them he
has been introduced to Beefcfortf , tbe patriotic Mayor of London , who has warmly invited him to c > 11 again , and that tho rest is a s . « --et . Was the helping hand coming at l . ' . st t There is no saying . Buckford died at tbe precise period . An awful ni . iuiftsl Jtion of the poet ' s despair at this incident , despair that ould only find adequate expression in a wild levity , is lo be found in 'h-3 well-known passage from Chatrertbn ' s pocket-bo ^ k . l $ ini ? ley , the publisher of the North Biiton , declined to publish an eBsay on Becfcford , on account of bis death j but other essays and poems were in demand for the fame cause . So thus ran the poet ' * .-count of his profit and loss : —
£ . b . d . Loat by hla death on thia essay l 11 6 G-iined on elegies 2 2 0 Ditto cm esaayfl 3 3 o And glad he is dead by „ 3 13 6 A post ' s imagination has foreseen what a poet of kindred power l&i personally experienced . Hamlet's outburst of unnatural mirth , at tbe confirmation of his scs ^ icions as to bis father's murder , — Why , let the stricken deer go weep , &c . i i tbe only exhibition of the fearfulest depth of tha human h * a * t , that can bo placed by the side of this pas , s * ge in Chitterton ' s history . Still the boy writes oo : and one d ? y makes another calculation in ths pocket-book as to the ptoniary results for about nne
mouths , that is'to say , including nearly the whole of his London life , and some months of that part wl , i-h preceded it . The amoui . ii rectived frem various \ at ties were just four pounds , fifteen shillings , and ninepercr ! A little later we learn that the bookaeHeis owe him more than double that buih—and he is su ^ 'ing . Yea , to that complexion is it coining at last . He baa written tojthe historian at Bristol , who : a a surgeon , to ask him for a recommen ^ a ' . ion aa sursjeon ' s-inate , to go out to Africa ; of course he is not sufficiently qualified , although he has studied tbe a abject , and is necesstfily refused . The little present * are even yet obtained , f < -x the mother and sister ; not a wcrJ ia hinted to tfcem of bis feuful
< " » ititution and the still more fearful destruction of all bis anticipations . The l&n ilady , observing him for tveo days together keep bis roem , be « s of him to take a little dinner with her ; Chatferton well understands ihe thought , ia i > fFenc ' oJ , says he ia not in want , assures her be ia not hungry . Walking with a friend in St . Pancras' churchyarJ , reading the epitaphs , atd thinking , no doubt , of bis own , be falls into a newlydug grave , and when his friend joiairly apeaks of the resurrection of genius , observes , "I feel the gating of a speedy dissolution . I bare been at war with the grave for some time , and find it is net u easy to vanquish aa I imagined : we can find an asylum ft * every creditor bat that . "
It was not long after that conversation , a friend of the right kind appeared at lasU Vr . Fry , bead of St . John ' C ollege , not understanding the iibtleties that caused such'intenaaadmiia . lon of Rowley ' aposms while they were Rowley ' s , and tbe contempt or neglect of these same poema when imipected to be Chatttrton ' a , set out for Bristol to investigate tbe whole matter , and befriend ai d assist their creator if he found him e > - serving . On his arrival be learned that tbo yeuug poet , puzzlt d like himself by the problem , a somewhat painful one to him , had § umn ariJy solved it , by taking poiton , ia his frpartmei > t la Brock-straet , being ihea jutt seveateen years and nine months' old . Chatterton , with minute formality , In his willdes . oibed tho inscriptions that he desired to be pi . ced on Lis tomb ; society sbxuld add to them—The cuk would net be dwarfed , and so at last it iris broken .

The public sales which have been in progress since our lust , have been well attended by buyers , owing to whieh most of the parce ' s offered , and-whioh have comprised abous 15 , 000 bales , have be n disposed of at fuU priees , if we except the lowest qualities being considers the lower .

Tallow Market . —The market for foreign Tallow is tolerably well su-tained , and may be considered firmer . The stock being light , and the advauce ia home Tallow last Friday , gave a tendency upward ? . Fine New Y . C . C audle is dearer at our quotation of this morning . There are letters from St . Petersburgh up to the 12 . h and 24 th of September . The gros 9 shipments 10 that date were 77 , 000 , against 94 , 000 casks to the same tima last year ; and the ' deficiency to London alone 9 , 000 , and to the outports 7 , 000 casks . Prices then were a shada lower , with but a moderate business doing . The homo aeit is considered short , and Tallow is 42 i to 43 j nett cash , MANttfESTEU Corn Market . —Satctrda ? ., Oct . 5 . —The trade has been , generally , of an inactive charaotpr during the week : and only a moderate
demand has been experienced for any description of Flour , which caused prices , except for the very choicest qualities , to reoede a trifle . Old Oaf-s . begin scarce , maintained their previous value ; but new might have been purchased on rather oasicr terms . For new and old Oatmeal the inquiry was languid , and the turn of prices in favour of the buytr . At the market , this morning , there wa 3 only a limited business transacted in Wheat : fine dry samples were held for the currency of this day se'nnight , bufc damp and inferior parcels were Id . to 2 d . per 701 ba . cheaper . In Flour there was very littlo passing , and the previous currency was not supported . No chango can be noted ia the value of old Oats , but new must be quoted Id . per 45 lbs . lower . For either old or new . Oatmeal the demand was trifling , and we note a reduction of 6 d . to la . per 240 lbs .
Liverpool Corn Market , mondat , Oct . / . — S nce this day se ' nnisjht we have had a tolerably fair supply of Irish Wheat , Flour , and Oatmeal , with about 13 . 000 barrels of Flonr from Canada .

PUNCH—Pakt XXXIX . After the copious extracts irom thi 3 Prince of satirists , which have graced our columns for bom <> time pa-t , ii cannot be nocers » ry that we should now say much in praise ol the illustrious and universally popular Punc'i . With the Jiterary talent of this excellent publication our readers Tsust be well conversant . Wo oaly regret that no description of ours can do justice to us pictorial department . Tho embellishments of the present part are excellent , particularly the "Portrait of ' PVrSdioua Albion , ' - " dedicated to " Jeune France . " The figures of "Master Joinville" and " Master Wellington , ' in " The Quarrel" are rich indeed , as is aleo that o < U'Connell in " The Ki xt Move . " We should not omit notice of the portrait of " Lord Non-Content "
( Brougham ) , -svh'jse phiz , as is usual , abounds in ihe several i . unibers of tht Part before us . Whether Punch is a Chartist wo know nut : but we do know that the Universal Suffrages of the masses proclaim him their favourhe . 11 j may otjrct to Tote by Ballot as being unnecessary , seeing that corruption and tyrannny are powerless before his well-wielded baton . That be is well affected towards Annual Parliaments we should suppose , as he is evidently a warm friend to Annual Pocket Books , — hh for the ensuing year being announced to be ready " early in October . " . And as to payment of Members , Punch msy be regarded as an undoubted convert , to that part of the Chartist creed , as he warmly supports payment Jor Numbers , the threepences ( monthly parts , thuteenpence ) , are bis especial delight . Vtve la Punch : may he live a thousand years , and his shadow never grow kss .
