Axistides . ' Itis indeed a proud , yet a just thing to say , fjai npither the republics of Greece nor that of Borne , in their palmiest dayg , ever produced a more jllnstrious ^ patriottiia _ n our / Akdrew Masteli ;; - 3 eadfi his virtue sjp a p > tnot , and hi ? merits as a senator , he was ar ^ poet arid a . wit of no mean order . His feme , however , iri ^ the former capacities tas so eclipsed the lustre of his other qualitiesthat . . .

      , the latter have been too much-disregarded ^ - Dr . Johnson might have . introduced Andrew Marvel ! into his " lives of the British Poets" ' with more reason than several names that find a place therein . Andrew Marvell , , the father ^ a native of Cambridge , and MJL of Emanuel College r -having taken offers , was elected master of the Grammar School at Hull ; and in .-1624 , several years / afterwards , became lecturer of Trinity Church , . " Hull . .. His $ un Axdrew , the patriot , was born there 15 ovemher 15 m , 1620 . At the early age of fifteen , he was sent in Cambridge , and admitted a student of Trinity

      College . At this period ,: young Marvell was in imminent danger of falling * into " the snares of the Jesuits , who were then industriously maiing prose-Ivies among " the youth of distinguished abilities . The disciples of Loyola succeeded in inveigling our student to London ; hut Tiis father followed him thither , and effected " his rescue . On the 13 th of December , 1638 , Andrew was re-admitted st Trinity College , where he steadily pursued his studies until the death of his father , in 1640 . Thus , at . the age of twenty , the subject of our sketch became an orphan . The-aged lady , however , with whose daughter the venerable minister had dared to

      die , sent for his son from Cambridge , acted towards him as a mother , and at her decease bequeathed him her whole-property . * His inclination for academical study appears now to have remitted ; and the passion for travelling to have taken" possession of his mind . "With four other youths , equally negligent in their attendance , he was excluded from the benefit of the College . Soon after this event we find our future senator in Italy . His poem of Plecnoe , a humourous satire on sn Irish priest at Rome , Biehard Plecnoe , an incorrigible ^ poetaster , is the first recorded instance of his satirical writlnir , and is supposed to have suggested 3 ) rvden s famous satire of Mac ilecnoe .

      At Borne , it is said , Marvell first met Milton . From that time these illustrious men "became Mend ? , and were , subsequently joint secretaries to Cromwell Between 1642 and 1643 , Marvell left Italy , and , while at Paris , on hishomeward journey , wrote some sat irical verses in Latin on one Lancelot Joseph de Maniban , a whimsical Abbe , who pretended to jrognostieate . fortanes by the peculiar hand-writing of individuals . . " . . After his T » tuni home , we hear no mote of Mar-¦

      « Ii during an important interval of ten years . In 1652 , 3 > Llajn wrote for him a letter of recommendation to the president Brzdshaw , in wMch be described the patriot as a man of angular desert for ihestate to make use of y' "but the letter did not procure an appointment . In 1654 , when Milton ' s famous defence of the ^ people of England in reply to Salmnau 3 appeared , Marvell was commissioned to present the book to the Protector . Milton -was , ct this time Seeretarv of State for Poreien Affair . * .

      Afterwards , " Marvell became tutor to Cromwell ' s nephew ; and assistant Latin secretary to the Com-Eon wealth with bis illustrious friend , the great poet . Prom tie death of the Protector till the Parliament of the 25 th of April , 1660 , we have no account of Marvell . In that year , which was destined to seethe restoration of royaltv , he was elected a member for his native town . He corresponded every post with his constituents ; a species of attention which was , at that time , particularly valuable , as it was onlv bv " such communicanoTi that the

      country constituency could snow what passed in Parliament . This correspondence still exists in the archives of the corporation and the Trinity House at Hull , a considerable portion of which appears in Captain Thompson's edition of MarvelTs works . These letters are historically , as well as personally interesting . " Xt has been observed that he manifestly wrote under some mental restraint , as if aware that the sanctity- of a seal was not always respected by a jealous government in perilous times . Eis public career was remarkable for its boldness , Honesty and intelligence , at a period when the prost itution of public integrity made patriotism appear a vulgar eccentricity . JEte gave his most strenuous

      opposition- to a standing army , and in wr iting to his oonsumeiu ^ , said , " I hope to see your town oace more tuigarrhoned , for I eannot but remember those blessed days , when the youth of our town were trained for your militia , End did T > ecome their arms better titan any soldiers I have seen since / ' Of the excise he ' wished it night not be continued too long . ' . On church affairs he says little , but mentions with approbation a bill " for erecting and augmenting vicarages , out of e ! 1 inpropriation - belonging . to ecclesiastical persons or corporations , to £ SUper annum , where 036 . inrpropriririon amounts to £ 120 , and , where less to one moiety -of the profits of such impnnriations . "

      ± iis exertions in favour of religious liberty were part icularly noted . Marveil not only took grent interest in questions of nedoaal import , but paid sedulous attention to the interests of his . borongi , and narrowly wstehed the progress of private bills . Jie is reported to have spoken but seldom in the house ; yet tojhave possessed great personal influence over the Members of the Commons , and also with fee Peers . - His first colleague , or ' partner , was 3 Ir . John Eamsden . In 1661 , ( May 8 th , ) Marvell was reelected along with Colonel Gilby , who was in the court interest . The opposiiion in their sentiments did not prevent Marvell from co-ope ; atlng with the Colonel , when no great principle was compromised , and when the interests of their constituents were

      specially concerned . Marvell vras returned a third tune from his native town ; but , in June 1063 , he retired for a time from parliamentary duties , being appointed to accompany Lord Carlisle as secretary , on an embassy to Busaa , Sweden , and Denmark . In undertaking his journey , which he ejected to accomplish in twelve months , he had the leave of tie house , and the approbation of his constituent--. Marvell resumed his place in October , 1 G 65 , when the Parliament was sitting at Oxford , on accornt of the plague then raging at London . During this short session the House of Peers and the high-church party excited the opposition of our patriot . The jear 1606 , memorable . for the great fire of London , found Andrew at his post , and corresponding as usual Tithhis constituents , whom he had to thank , ay on former occasions for a present of Yorkshire ale . 3

      In the following year " Paradise Lost' appeared , accompanied by some commendatory verses from llarvelTs peta . His Parliamentary correspondence continued for se-reral years with , little ot no interruption , and afford ample proof of his indefatigable industry , and unremitting attention to the most flnnute , as well asTio the most momentous matters . In some of them he mentions six o ' clock in the evening as a very protracted hour for business in he House of Commons ; and at length the

      attendance became particularly onerous and fatiguing . The dissensions between the two Houses , arising from tie undefined nature of their privileges aan jurisdiction , occasioned perpetual conferences , snd prolonged discussion , so that , on one occasion , the House of Commons rat , without intermission , oatil Jive o'clock , in the morning . Every session brought forth some new bQl , or forced proclamation against conventicles and sectarians , and also in favour of a prohibitory system of commerce .

      There is scarcely one . of MarvelTs letters which does not afford some proof ; that the House in which ie sat was no friend to free trade , even between , die several parts of the kingdom ; and there was a manikstineBnaoon to easclnde French commodities altogether . Marvell applies the epithet " terrible" to fee conventicle bill , and characterizes it as- " the ^ Qintessence of arbitrary malice . " During the * pnng session of 1670 , the King thought fit to frequent the debates at the " House of Lords ,: and declared that it was . ' better than going to _ a f lay . ' ?

      ~ Te" menaoni ilriscrccjnnstaiice with . surprise tohis constituents , in Ms letter dated 26 th March JU aatyear . The prospect of affairs was deplorable : ^ naries had abandoned himself to the notorious J-abal : even Marvell seemed affected , by iespon-^ cy ; and although he stated in a private commu-^^ on , that " the Parliament was never so embark s 8 ™! '' and " we all are venal cowards except some |~* i yet the Commons proved an overmatch for the « ws and the Court .

He was ' threatened ; he was flattered , hS was heset with spies , eourted by beauties , and , it is said , ' ey ^ H way-laid hy ruffians . But his integritjr was proof alike against danger , adulatioii , and . eorruption . Respecting himself ^ . ahd revering virtue , he had a spirit atmed _ against the inactions assaults ; of the . tempter . Itwas ^ bout tfie year 16 f 3 or 1674 , tEattheLordTreasurerBanbyj an old schoolfellow , presuming on his former acquaintance and Andrew's good-H £ tared facility , visited the patriot in his humble , lodgine with a view to induce him to barter his " ^ " ^ ~~* " -f ** " i - -n n r

      poverty ' and probity foT profligacy and . place . This interesting incident is thus related ;—¦ At parting , the Lord Treasurer , out of pure i ^ ction ^ sHp ^^ va ^ his hand an order upon the treasury for one thousand pounds , and then went to his chariot Manrell , looking at the . . papei ,. calls after the Treasurer , "My- Lord , I request another moment . " They both return t $ the garret , and the serving boy of the House was called . . " Jack , child , what had I for dinner yesterday ? " " Don ' t you remember , Sir ?

      you had the little shoulder of mutton that you ordered me tojbring from the woman in the market ? " "Very right , ' child , " what have I for dinner to-day ? " " "Don ' tyou know , Sir , that you bid me lay by the blade-bone to broil f" " 'Tis so , very right , child - , go away . —My Lord , do you hear ? Andrew Marvell ' s dinner is provided : there ' s your piece of paper . J know the sort of kindness you intended . 1 live here to lerve my constituents . The ministry . may seek men for iheir purposes : I am not oxe . "

      To enhance the merit of Marvell ' s rejection of this large bribe , it is further related that , after this memorable interview , he was under the necessity of applying to his bookseller for the loan of a guinea . Perhaps the above simple and sublime fact stands best by itself ; and whether the addendumha authentic or not , it is scarcely necessary " to add another colour to- the rainbow . ' " ' Andrew Marvell died suddenly on the 29 th July , 1678 , while attending a public meeting in the Town Hall of Hull ] it is supposed , by poison , as he had previously been in remarkably gooU health . Thus it is supposed was fulfilled the christian-Uke denunciation- of Dr . Samuel Parker in Ms " Reproof of MarrelTs , " Rehearsal Transposed" : — " If thou darerttoprint any lie or libel against Dr . Parker , T > y the eternal God , I will cut thv throat 1 " '

      Marvell was the last instance of a Member of Parliament receiving wages from bis constituents . Aubrey 3 -who knew Marvell , thus describes his personal peculiarities . " He was of middling stature , pre : ty strong set , roundish cheeked , hazel , eyed , brown haired . He was wont to say he would not tlrink high or freely , with any one with whom he would not trust " his life . " " ' - v ; " We append a short specimen of his prose writing , asd one of Jus / poetry . _ The firsj is extracted from some ironical observations on the Invention of Printing . UiTbere have been waves found out to banish

      ministers , to fire not enly the people , but even the grounds and fields where they assembled , in conventicles ; but no art yet could prevent these , seditious meetings of letters . Two or three brawney fe ^ ows in a co rner , with meer ink aiid elbow grease , do more harm than a hundred systematical divines , with their sweaty preaching . Their ugly printing letigrs look , bet like so many rotten tooth drawers ; andyettiese rnscally operators of the press have got a trick to fasten them again in a few minutes , that they -grow as firm a set , and as biting and talkative as ever . 0 , pr inting ! how hast thou disturbed the pence of mankind 1—that lead , when mouLedinto bullets , is nnt so mortal as when formed into letters ! There was a mistake , sure , in the story of Cadmus ; and the serpents teeth which he sorrc-d vrere nothing else but * the letters which he

      invented . " Of Marvell ' s poetical effusiois it is surpririag that no bookseller lias yet "published a portable and popular volume . " We are sure that it would be found more acceptable than the public are generallv prepared to expect ; and we Lcpe to see it undertaken ereiong . Proud should we-be to see such a collection-issue-from the Hull press : it would be a pleasing _ memorial of their author ; and , should our felW-tcwnsiEen determine , about the same time , to erect the proposed statue in honour of the Patriot , w ' e should thtn possess two monuments in his b : ; tiiplace , alike worthy of the man and of ourselves .

      TO THE ^ vYORKlNG MEN OF ENGLAND , IRELAND , AND SCOTLAND . Felujyv WortK-MEX . —Having attended your meetings , and having heard of various plans , for the improvement of the working classes , I beg leave to lay do \ rn _ a plan -which woule , in my : opinion , restore tousouf rights , and that is passive obedience and nonresistance . That is what I have lieard the parsons recommend . We pay two kind of taxes , direct and indirect , the direct consists of poor rates , church rates , bighway rates , lamp rates , water rates , and corporation rates ; all those are pnid in money , the other are paid , by what we ¦ eat , drink j and wear . We cannot altogether avoid paving these without

      starving ] but the other we can . " Would any man pay into a sick dnb , if he knew he was but to receive a very small portion back when he might stand in need , nnd were told also that he would be parted from bis wife and children ? The man wonld be insane to pay anv longer . The poor laws of England are a sick club on a larger scalp . Then , as we are to receive only about a tenth what vre pay in . why not keep the money in our own pockets , against sickness , age , or destitution ? But yon say how is this to be accomplished ?
