True , Spain is no longer sit war with the Frank : bat the still more hideous civil war from which the country lias so long suffered , and the termination of which is yet far distant , has been prolonged by the libcrticvfol intrigues of the inrraaous ivailov of the bavricades . The fullawing stanzas { wkh which we conclude our extr cu-ts from the iir-st canto of ChlUc Harold ) are therefore at the present time yet applicable to disiraetco , cheated , bloc-d-drenched Spain : — Sueli fce the sous of Spain , and strsnge her fata !

Turn we , therefore , now to THE PURGATORY OF STTICIDES . A Prison Bliynie , in Ten Beaks . By Thomas Cooper , tfw CLartlst *
We intended to have this week reprinted the lead-5 n « r points of the - -I / aokcihh ' s critique en Mr . Coopjsk ' s poem ; hut find that were we to do so , we should leave ourselves no room for what will please our readers iniieli better—extracts from the poeni itself . *\ V c have dctc-rniincd therefore to postpone insertion of the Athaimuas critique until we have gone through the poem , when we wiii give the points of the several reviews that inav come under our notice ; so that while reviewing thepacm , we may also review-the poem ' s xeviewt-is .
The second book opeas with an address to the Lyre ; and in the first eight stanzas a just tribnte of grateful admiration is paid to Ciuuceu . Spexseh , SttiKsteai : e , Btbox , and Shellet . These stanzas are very powcriullv written ; aud could we have found worn we -would gladly Lave copied them . Theailflressto iliLiox , liowever , we must not nasti by . J his address , says the Britannia reviewer , " isricliin uie passionate " laiicuage of admiration . Such a strain has not been an !< r ia England for two hundred years . Knowing that Fhis verse has been written in
a prison ceD , that the author has been self-taught , luat he is a poor Chartist shoemaker , we read in all uie wonderment of an inexplicable dreani : "Sard of the raigbty harp , —whose golden chords , Strung by Ui » £ ternal , ao befitting theme Jound among mortals and their low records , — Ijut pealed hi b anthen-. s to the throne supreme , — Or , thnnderiug echoed where tho lurid gleam Of Erebus revealed the primal fall ! Since thou o ' er " darkness" triumphed—I will deem This grated cell no dungeon of a thrall , — -Bnt banquet-chamber where the Mind holds festival !
Great minstrel , let the night entomb the day , — let holts and bars , in mockery , last till doom , — So tbat heaven-robed , tbou walk ' st with me , —thy lay Shall dissi pate all thought of prison . gloom . TraascenOant spirit , —in thia narrow room Oft tenanted by woe-worn , bruted child Wman , crushed from his cradle to the tomb „ % tyrants , —how hast thou iny nights beguiled!—fci aoothing the raven down of darkness till it smiled . " 1 that my young heart a covenant made To take fliee for its guide in patriot deed , — It
Life's eventful roll should shew arrayed The brethren of my fatherland agreed To claim thair ancient birthright , and T » &e « a , — Ohow the lesson of thy deathless toil , — « Tuiemy soul uomaged thee , —in me did feed The flame of freedom!—Shall the sacred oil Aot ieeP it quenchless rill the grave its foemen foil ! Be thou enthroned , —bright patriot , —tuneful s » er , — Aot on a regal seat that thou would ' st scorn as ioftii as e ' er thou scorned'st here xh » thrones of kings , or naubles ty them worn J * ijndoa : J , Bow , 13 ? , Fketetreet .

And when , in death , my mortal joys all merge Thy graud and gorgeous music , ililton , —bt my dirge ! . In this book we are introduced to the spirits of three famous suicides , the two first Greek ; the third , Indian—Empedccles , —• who to be deemed A god leapt fondly into Etna ' s Humes ; Cleombkotcs— — who to enjoy Plato ' s Eiysium Itapt into the sea ; and Calaxls—— whom Emcthian Philip ' s son beheld Amazed , —whila pealing trumpets cleaved the sky , . '» : !
Tlic discussion in which the two Greeks engage , subsequently shared in by the Indian , seems to us somewhat tiresome ; at all events , the main portion of the ! cok dees not at all approach its spirited and beautiful opening . Leaving the second , to come at once to the third beo ' v , which opens with a magnificent address to the Sun : — Hail , glorious Sun!—ali hail the captive ' s friend ! Giver of present joys , where Sorrow fain Would entur aad abide , and , traitorous , lend Her power to aggravate the tyrant ' s chain : — Orer . t Exorcist , that blindest up the train Of childhood ' s joyaunco , -ind youth's dazzling dreams From the heart ' s sepulchre , —until , again , I live in extasy , mill woods , aiid streams , And golden ilonx-rs that laugh while kissed by thy bright b : ams .
Aye , —once more , —mirrored in the silver Trent , Thy noon-tide majesty I tiii : ; k 1 view AYith boyish wonder ; or , till droused and spent Witli eagerness , peer up the vaulted blue With shaded eyes , watching the lark pursue Jltr dizzy ilight;—thvn , on a fragrant bed Of meadow siveets still pprent with ir . oraii ) g dew , Di'oam liov .- thu heavenly chambers overhead Vi " sh steps of grace and j » y the holy angels tread . In language thatiiocs him honour as a man . as well as a i >! -et , he pays homage to the memory of his mother : —
0 heart , —now cold in the davouvinpr grave , And torn , no more , by scorn and suffering , —¦ 1 low fondly diiist thou to thy darling cleave ! Although thy tyrants but a worthless thing Esteatncd him . llauklcd , deep , oppression's sting In thy recesses : —still , in hardihood Of conscious rig ht , stern challenge thou didst fling Ikck at thy focmen ami their hireling brood , — Aud beat unto old age v . -ith free and youthful blood 1 Mother ! thy wrongs—the common wrongs of . ill To labour doomed by proud and selfish drones—Endurin : jly have fixed the burning gall Deop in my vtins—aye , in my very bones . I hate ye , things with surplices ami crowns . '—• Serpents that poison , —tigers that devour Poor human kind , and fill the earth with groons . Through every elhne God send ye were no more t Ye'd have a merry requiem from shore to shore .
Taxes for Irinjr and priest a knave was wont To filch from my poor widowed mother ' s toil ; And while the prowling jackal ! held his hunt , He fattened on the offals of the spoil , And mocked the sufferers 1 How my blood did boil "When lately I beheld a gililsd stone lta sed to the memory of this vannin vilo , And pious charity asci'ihsd thereon . To him who gray beneath the poor ' s grim curse had grown . I laid my nged mother near the dust Of llCI' 61 >! ii'CS 501 ' i but no gilJed verse Tells how she toiled to win her child a crust , And , fasting , still toil :-d on ; no rhymes rehearse Kow tenderly she strove to be the nurse Of truth and nobleness in her loved boy , 'Spite of his rajs
0 Sun , thou dost amerce 31 y n-ifiscred hi art , for the poor fleeting joy "With which thy bsams began nvy sadness to destroy . The Britannia reviewer says , " We cannot neglect , still less despise , Terse like this , because it is minded with much that we condemn and grieve over . This man is often violent , nay , coarse and brutal ; still ho is one favoured of millions—a true and genuine poet . " He continues his address to tho Sun : — Thou gorgeous lamp to light man to the homo Appointed for all living!—though elate "With throb of liberty regained I roam O ' er paths to Life ' s glad morning consecrate—Will not thv ilainc foreshow that for me wait
The prison-portals of the grave—and I but stay At large on sufferance ?—for , the writ of Fate "Will soon arrive , which not a breath's delay Brooks , of their full surrender , from the forms of clay . Oh ! couldst thou bare that dark captivity Prom whence , released , none gvoi 1 jet returned To ttrll its secrets—how our dreams would Uee ! Was it to know Death ' s truths , in life , that yearned The hoary Kelt who o < i the cromlech burned His brother—hymning thee , the sky—through God : For ages , JIan thy huge grey shriuas hath spurned , Hocking thy worship ; but , like all who trod Earth then , in dreams , still dream the children of tho clod !
Oh' how poor human thought doth mask Itself ! I tlihil ; I see : I Ihbik I know ! What further ? Nought—to worms ! Although ye knock At truth ' s dark barriers—they will bear the shock Till doomsday—if it ever come ! If sleep Eternal comes , instead—then , at a stroke , Away , it will hope , faith , and doubting swcop : And , if we cease to be;—why—we shall ceaso to weep . The poet glances at the different forms and names under which , at one time or other , the deified personifications of the sun have been worshipped by the
Egyptians , Plucnicians , Greeks , Chaldeans , and the pel tic races : and the address closes with tho following beautiful stanzas : — God—claimed by regal Incas as their sire—Beyond the wave Columbian , where upcono Earth ' s storehouses of silver : sovereign five !—The young soul ' s natural god ! A'isiblc throne Of holy Nature's sovereignty unknown , Invisible!—by whatsoever name Adored and deified throughout our zone—Thy worshippers all held thy risen ilame Did for the soul adumbrate some great afier-drame !
On shadows these—and more—leaned to the vargo Of their poor pilgrhnase ; and , lest I lean On shadows , too—though thousand lights converge To deck with loveliness the Knzarene—I hesitate , dwnur , surmise , and glean , Daily new grounds to doubt the Mythic dress PJitenician woof , once more ! through which is g « en , I fear , thy ancient face—bright Comeliness !—Fabling with futwe lifo poor grave-doomed worms to bless ! He whom the Arimathean ' s tomb enclosed—¦ The good—the toiling one—the Crucified—Who , ' spite of guards , the bonds of death unloosed , Scattering tho men of iron in their prida Convulsed to helplessness—and forth did ride Leading captivity captive!—Is he not—Magnific beam!—thy power personified—Sight-tombed—and , then , pouring dismay and roul On darkuess—while Earth ' s million morning voices shout !
I love the Galilean : —Lord and Christ Such goodness I could own ; and , though enshrined In iiesb , could worship : If emparadised , liejond the grave , no Eden I cuuld find Ilestored—though all the good of humankind Were there , and not that yearning One—the poor Who healed , ana fed , and blest ! ffay to my mind , Hell would be Heaven , with him ! horror no moro Could fright—if such benignant beauty trod its shore I love the sweet and simple narrative—With ail its child-like earnestness—the page Quadruple where those love-wrouglit wonders liye ; I would the talc were true : tbat heritage Of immortality it doth presage Would make me glad , indeed : but doubts bocloud Truth ' s fountain as their depths I seek to guage—Till with this trustless reck ' ning I am bowed-Han ' s heritage is but a cradle and a shroud !
Further beauties of the great poet of Chartism we will delight our readers with next week , ne now come to tte lesser poets of our noble movement . Pressed for room , we must , as far as possible , avoid comment Claiming a well-acquired precedence comes our northern Irish poet , whose simple , but sweetly-toned melodies have so often graced oar columns : —

Unbounded , faxhwnless , mysterious deep ! With yon bright hsaven coeval was thy birth Here nature , bursting from chaotic sleep , First east her glorious vesture o ' er the earth . Onward thou rollest in tliy majesty , Earth ' s deepest caverns echo to thy roar ; Koiv in thy prida careering to the sky , Kow softly sleeping on the pearly shore . Science bath boldly scanned the map of heaven , When circling orbs their sacred vi gils keep ; But ne ' er to her excursive foot was given The power to tread tho chambers of the deep . Imagination's dream alone may tell Of gam-lit grottoes , aud perennial bowers ; While gliding forms of grace and beauty dwell , Thtir brows cmvreathvd with evtr-blooining flowers Wiio , when thy stormy wares are raging high , Come , in their youthful loveliness and bloom , With augel smres , ami seraph harmony , To lure the fated seaman to his doom ?
\ V o know the gems that bind the monarch's brow Were iileliBii from thy deep bosom , at the price Of human life , for to thy wc . tlth we owe Full many a dark uuhoiy sacrifice . Proud element ! on thy expansive breast Is borne the noblest work of human art ; The gallant ship in bridal beauty drest , Gous forth with blessings from sauh feeling heart Her course , huiv Iiko the path of human life !
Now , calmly gliding 'ucath a cloudless sky ; Now , breasting with her strength the powerful strife , Nobly rcsolv'd to meet her destiny , Thou reckless register of human woe ! . Myriads have Sunli a sacrifice to thee In Youth ' s rich bloom , in beauty ' s brightest glow , Stan in his prime , aud grave maturity . Millions , who sought with hope a mildar clime , To lengthen out the fragilu thread of life ; How have they walch'd the ceaseless hand of timo , Unmindful of thy elemental strife .
Breathing or supplicating prayer to God , A f « w sl-. oi't days their fleeting liv « s to save ; So they might restbe-ncath their native sod , But found within thy depths a nameless gvav » . Friends I have lov'd rcuoso upon thy bi'eitst , Yet not less sacred is their ocean tomb ; For Memory hovering o ' er their place of rest Hath twin'd a garland of unfading bloom . Were we inclined to ha critical—there arc incongruities and faults in the following lines wo might comment on ; but ns our friend is evidently improving , we say—go on ! ana do better next time if you can . The two la ^ fc stanzas of the following are the worst , and we cotiid have wished them omitted : — AUTUJIX'S DEPARTURE . BY VILUA 5 I JOSCS , LKICESTEU , On pillowing clouds reposing urunkt in glosy , Griiced with a bow such as Spi-ing often wears , Departing Autumn sheds o ' c-r nature hoary ,
A smile that turns to glittering pearl her tears . The old witch-elm that late so green sprsad o ' er me In nil its soft-decaying tints appears , Long lines of shades aud sum . y-vavj ing spots , Around are moving sten ' mid spires and groves and cots . As peevish children in capricious mood Snatch mischievous at objects-bright and gay ; The restless gales from oft' the sighing wood , First pluck the pretty withered-ones away : Thus Death removes the beautiful , the good , Nor often waiteth till life ' s Autumn day , Ah 1 who would linger hern in age and anguish When all his powers decay and mind aud body languish ? On every bent the rain-drop lic-th cold , And trembles with the passing wind's least motion ; And falls when its caresses grow too bold . The swollen rivers onward to the ocean OVv Tilaiu and vreeiiiicc 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 his congealing bands . So the big tear-drop trembles in the eye Of the poor emigrant about to roam From early friends , loved scenes , and native sky , To find in distant climes n happier home , So hastes he saaward murmui-ingly—and why ! lie knows the wintry Panic soon will come , Congealing all the springs of industry And filling many a cot with haggard misery ! The bright clouds rest above , the dark roll under , And ' midst tho fleecy-beautiful between , As in soft cradls sleeps the infunt thunder , Who soon will wake and try hisTOice I ween , A truant rout , each eager first to plunder Of hip and wild berry tho bramble green , Rush forth , llow ardent is the youthful mind A tendril to be trained—a metal to be coin'd .
The swallow tribes are gone—thentwittering glee I heard no longer is these skies of ours , The lark that soat ' u so seraph-like and free Is mute—and bo are all th : it cliarmed the bowers , Except the robin in its wonted tree , Warbling its hymn clear as in vernal hours . 'Tis thus with me—my tuneful friend * are iiewn . And I am left , like the sweet bird , to sing alone . Seo 1 through yon furzy copse fleet Ileynard sly !—Alas ! his hot pursuers , innn and hound , Thrilling the woods are heard distinctly high . ho , they approach , the gallant steeds o ' er-bound Every impediment , and hurrying by Like a wild vision , seen In sleep unsound , Soon in the echoing distance disappear While horseless artisans bring up the struggling reor . An emblem this of man . Through life ' s short space , Whether he mansion owns , or rents a cot , Whatever his pursuit , or power , or place ,
Or wealth , or competence , it matters not , Forward ho drives , anil joy is in the chase , And truth and virtue ol ' t—too oft , forgot . Happy when he so runs as to obtain A wreath that shall in bloom for evermore remain ! Of two pieces sent us by Thomas Jo . ves we find the following worthy of insertion ; . chiefly , though , on account of the subject tiic writer lias chosen . As a " poet" he has a wide field for improvement yet before him .
UXE 3 ADDKESSED TO JOHN FROST , Es < J . KT TUOJUS JONES , LIVEKPOOt . Hail ! hail ! all hail , thou noble patriot , Frost , The first of Nature ' s nobles , and the Mend Of suiFring man , tho' now to us thou ' rt lost ; Yet shall a nation ' s prayers Heaven ' s arches rend—Till thee awl thy compatriots shall return To bless the land , that now jour absence mourn . Tho' bound in chains far from your native land , And exiled far from Britain ' s lovely shore ; Still shall thy name the dread of tyrants stand , Whilst patriots thy unhappy fate deplore : Nor shall tfce sons of Britain cease to mourn , Till thee ami thy compatriots shall return . Thy foes in vain attempt to blast thy fame .
And with their false and basely slandering tongues Heap hideous " Treason" on thy spotless name ; And thus add insult to thy numerous wrongs . But still thy Cambria ' s sous shall ever mourn , Till thee and thy compatriots sUaU return . Let interested knaves thy fame traduce , And pour disgrace on thy derotcd head ; In tain they heap their torrents of abuse , And wish thee number'd with the silent dead . Brave Scotia ' s sons shall never Cease to UlOUrn , Till thee and thy com-patiiiots shall return . But soon with joy the merry bells shall ring , And Heaven ' s high arches echo with delight ; Thou shalt the funeral song of faction sing ,
And Albion ' s sons shall ye * obtain their right . A nation ' s mourning then shall turn to joy , And ehouts of gladness echo through the sky . Come now , all you doubters of the two-acro land plan , read the glowing picture of a cottagei hie wnicn tho lines we next give will introduce you to . ^ au , and liave done with your doubts for ever . We T ° ™} J mend the "Last Hard-of Breffni" to t | e Land Direotory , who , we doubt not , will award him a prize ; for , of course , if once the " Bard ' s" poetry is

WADE'S LOIsDON HIiVIEW—Ski'tembeu . London : 0 . 13 . Christian , Wlutefriars-sti'Gct , Flcctsircct . " Commercial Aspects , Locomotion , and Railway Speculation" are the subjects treated of in the first and principal article of this month ' s number . This arliuic is ably written , and contains much that we accord with ; but niiieii also that is crude and unsatisfactory . If this writer would dive deeper he would be more likely to succeed in bringing up the peari of truth . " lie ' s too niueli the Gentleman , " is tho second of a scries of well written payers
entitled "Leavestorn from a Record of Life . " These papers arc written by a lady , the productions of whose pen always delight vis : the sound purpose of her writings , aided by their charming simplicity , place theni amongst the best of the contents of this publication . ' Ambition ; a Greek talc , " is continued . Who is " II Vagabontlo V lie promises to turn out a most amusing vagabond ; we shall look forward to the continuation or his reminiscences with no small interest . The most important of the reviews in this month ' s number is that of the " Memoirs of Sophia Dorothea , Consort of Gcorgo I . " This book fully discloses tho horrid character of that abominable monster .
" The first of tho fools and oppressors called George . " This royal brute , before he was imported into this country , and while he was yet a , beggarly Hanoverian prince , having for some time treated his wife , the unhappy Princess of Zali , Sophia Dorothea , with neglect and harsh usage , at the same time cohabiting with other women , one of whom a Mademoiselle Sciiulknbuko , had borne him a daughter , and his wile hearing of this , naturally upbraided him for his infamous conduct : — He retorted iu a style that could onlyhuvc come from a vuigiir profligate , lost to every sense of decency and honour . This 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 he knew lie richly deserved it . As he had stooped to be a profligate , he had not much lower to degrade himself-in becoming a brute ; and the persons in the ante-room wore presently alarmed by hoaring screams and cries for assistance , aud rushed in just iu timo to save thtir mistress from strangulation .
Most of our readers will know that after the treacherous and horrible murder of the unfortunate Count Konignmark , tho princess was compelled to sign articles of divorce , and consigned to imprisonment for the remainder of her years . Her execrable husband , brought hither by the traitorous Whigs , was made Kin ;? of England ; bu t she shared not in his new honours . Tlic end of his career is told in the remarks of the reviewer of the " Memoirs : "The tyrant , grown grey in the midst of his infamous and licentious Court , relaxed not in the harsh , unjust imprisonment of his consort . She died , and at length his conscience awoke , in time to tormsut , not to eauso repentance . It liad been prophesied that he would not long survive her , and , on heating of her- death , ho sank into a deathlike torpor , from which fury alone against his son temporarily roused him . A mavTellous narrative is related of the immediate cause of the king ' s death : it needs not , however , a supernatural agency to punish the evil deeds of man , or cause his own remembrance to
become a punishment too hard to be endured . In the disputes with tlichcir ofhis kingdom , the infamous plundering , the vile conduct ofhis Court , the wars which rent his new dominions , and continued during the reign of the sccoud of his niiine—in the reproaches of his own heart , the desolate fricudlessness of his death—above all , the infamous name lit has bequeathed to posterity , we s « e the just retribution of his crimes to his guiltless wife . The sins of the father wore visited an the children to th » third and fourth generation . Long after his time was thu house of Bi'unsiriuU distinguished for their vices rather than their virtues . It is said when Queen Caroline , the long-persecuted wif « of George IV ., refused tho increased allowance olfered to her , she was toasted as " the only member of the house of Brunswick tbat ever refused money i" With equal justice might they on that day , at least , have been distinguished as " the family , no mc-mbci of which ever behaved well to » woman !" "Such Lo thy gods , 0 Israel !" There arc several other reviews in this number , brief and interesting .

THE TRAVELLER'S MAGAZINE—September . London : T . G . Newby , 12 , Mortimer-street , CaYcndish-squaro . The editor , in his " First Pilgrimage and Last Tour , " conducts us this month to Vienna , of which we would rather have heard something move than is here narrated , although to makcroom for a longthicr description , the not very entertaining sayings and doings of Monsieur B / ljioquet had been altogether omitted . " Random Recollections of New South U ales" is the first of what promises to be a very
interesting series of papers . Perhaps the raciest thing m this month ' s number is the burlesque opera , 11 Atigeliquc ; or the Yachtsman Magnetised . " We would , earnestly recommend its transfer to the stage , where , it is onv belief , its success could not fail to be triumphant . We are sorry that the review of " Hints on the Nature and Management of Duns" is not more extended ; however , the extracts given will be sure to impart to the reader a keen appetite fov tta entire work . From this review we quote the following specimen of this most witty and clever book : —
AiL IS nUMBOG ! I own this to be a somewhat uncomfortable doctrlne . it is a true one ; a « u though we should agree with Doctor Pangloss , in " Candide , " that " all i « for the best iu this best of all possible worlds , " still , if wo impartially consider the matter under its various phases , we must equally acknowled ge that this " best of all possible worlds" is in ltsalf a globular mass of unmitigated llumbug ! The lawyer , who defends a murderer ; the clergyman Mho consigns his brother clergyman to perdition , because he himself wears a surplicg in the pulpit , and the other a gown ; the friend who tests your friendship by requesting you to accept a bill for Ais accommodation and your inconvenience ; the mistress who smothers you with kisses while another young gentleman has just made his exii&om the house hefore your arrival ; the Maw worm who assigns h ' oa-Ten to himself and a warmer climate to " publicans and sinners ; " the bishop who clutches themltt « wbil « "« oto
