THE PAST.
The past, the past, th* insatiate past,
Within its broad domain
Crushed hopes and bleeding joys lie oust,
. Like, war’s unburied slain !
W e saw thi-if plumes in triumph wave,
A bright and fair array;
The morning mists arc curling o’er
The. hill; but where are they 1
The past, the past, th’ embalming past—
Behold its march sublime;
Garnering the harvest, prostrate cast
By the bald reaper Time!
Wit’s diamond shaft, and learning’s tome,
Devotion’s lore divine, —
Fame’s glittering wreath and poesy’s crown—
In added lustre shine.
The past,, the past, the joyous past,
How bright its visions seem,
When age and yputli the hours contrast,
Like some enchanted dream:
Love’s honied kiss, and manhood's pride,
And pleasures syren strain ;
The civic wreath, the sparkling cup—
All—all are ours again.
The past,the past, the shadowy pnst,
How dim the scene appears,
When eyes that on us looked their Inst
Relume in after years.
The dazzling cheat in mockery throws
Its lights o’er hopeless gloom,
Like a faint taper’s flickering ray
Above the silent tomb.
The pnst, the pnst, the mighty past;
How doubtless is its sway;—
Hark ! to its trumpet's summoning blast,
While listening worlds obey 1
The conquering chief his helmet doffs—
Thcdrnndish'd sceptre fulls:
And silence reigns where wassail shouts
Rung through the festal halls.
The past, the past, the storied pnst
Here genius sits enshrined, —
On this bright sane your offerings cast,
The Mecca of the mind !
Beneath these arches’ vaulted roofs
Immortal spirits throng;
Here Bhakspenre’s radiant fancy beams—
Here Homer weaves his song/
The past, the past, the new-fledged past,
Even now, with raven wing
Its lengthening shadows grown more vast
Around my footsteps eling.
My fingers vainly sweep the lyre,
No answering tones arise;
Pale memory flees to happier breasts,
And hope to brighter skies!
THE PILGRIM CHILD.
A stsanoeb child, one winter eve.
Knocked at a cottage-maiden’s door:
“A pilgrim at your hearth receive;—
Hark! how the mountain-torrents roar!’’
But ere the latch was raised, “Forbear!”
Cried the pale parent from above;
“The pilgrim child, that’s weeping there,
Is Love!”
The spring-tide came, end once again,
With garlands crown'd, alaughingchild
Knocked at the maiden’s casement pans,
And whispered “Let me in!” and smiled;
The casement soon was opened wide—
And stars shone bright the power above;
And lo! the muiden’s elicit beside,
Stood Lotc!
And smiles, and sighs, and kisses sweet,
Beguiled brief summer’s careless hours;
Arid Autumn, Labor's songs to greet, •
Came forth, with corn, and fruit and flowers.
But why grew pale her cheek with griefl
Why watch’d she the bright stars above!
Someone had stole her heart, —the thief
Wus Love /
And winter came, and hopes and fears
Ahernutc swelled her virgin breast;
But none were to dry her tears,
Or hush her anxious cares to rest.
A nd often as she oped the door. -•
Roared the wild torrent from above;
But never to her cottage more

[ From the Foreign Correspondence of the

LIVERPOOL, July 5.
The Queen was to have given another ball
on June 28, this day week, but on Wednesday
an anouncemcut was given that it was post
poned. This was owing to the serious illness
of Lady Flora Hastings—l should rattier call
it the fatal illness. Ever since the time when
her fair fame was so wantonly maligned her
health has been affected, and each week, tho’
she bore upas well asshecould,shehasgrown
weaker. She endeavored to bear up against
her malady, and attempted to discharge the
duties of her situation on the Queen’s mother,
and this, though she was so weak that she could
only lie on a sofa, in an exhausted state. At
last the Duchess of Kent (whoseconsideration
for her has been almost paternal) made her
take to her bed, and the best medical attendance
was procured for her. Her mother is in Scot
land, too ill to travel to London; her sister,
Lady Sophia Hastings, has set up with Lady
Flora several nights, and the Marchioness of
Hastings has done the same. The Lady Flora
languishes, and is unable to take any nourish
ment.
When it was ascertained, on June 26, that
Lady Flora was so dangerous ill, for the ladies
of the Queen’s household pretended that it
was mere sham to excite pity, Lord Duncan
non represented to Lord Melbourne that it
would be actually indecent to have a ball (400
tickets were issued) when this young lady
was actually dying it), the palace. He repre
sented also, that public sympathy had been
very much excited about her. and the press
might continent upon the circumstance. Lord
Melbourne satv the Queen, explained how mat
ters were, advised tho postponement of the
ball, and, if I am truly informed, found it a mat
ter of the utmost difficulty to purstiude her to
accede to his suggestion.
On Thursday Lady Flora sent a message lo
the Queen, praying her Majesty to visit hor.
This was done, and she said, “Upon the word
of n dying woman, there wus no ground for the
baseness imputed to me. 1 forgive my ene
mies, and pray God to pardon them for hurry
ing nit) to an early grave.” The Marquis of
Hastings, her brother, was in (ears by the bed
side when the Queen name in, but her Myj esty
would not notice him. Immediately after
hurrying from sad interview with Lady Flora,
the Queen retired to her closet to muse on the
unhappy stale of this youthful friend? No,
but mounted her Arabian, and went to have a
gallop in Hyde Park ! 1
A serious correspondence lias taken place
on the subject of Lady Flora between the Mar
quis of Hastenings and Lord Melbourne. Tho
Marquis was represented by Lord Rosslyn,
and after muchdelay Lord Melbourne has been
compelled to make an humble apology for the
rude and ungentle-manlike expressions in his
memorable letter to the mother ofthe Marquis.
There is a hitch, on Lord Melbourne’s part,
about the publication of this correspondence;
but as Lord Hastings insists that the atone
ment shall be as public as the insult it is likely
to appear in print.
Lord Melbourne, Lady Portmnn, and Lady
Tavistock ore set down generally as the abet
tors of the slander which Sir James Clark in
vented ; blit the palace whisper is that it was
the Queen herself, “our virtuous Queen,” who
gaveahint to Sir Juntos Clarke, her physician,
“that she did not like the appearance of Lady
Flora, and for her own part thought no better
could coma of her coining from Edinburg to
London in the sumo steamboat with that odi
ous Sir John Conroy.” Now this is the Court i
on dit, and, if it be true, shows at once why
the Ladies Tavistock and Portman cgnnol ex
culpate themselves from, the charge of slander
—for if they do they must inculpate the
Queen.
Tlte quarrel between the Queen and her
mother is to Have mainly been caused by 1
the latter’s having refused to dismiss Sir, John
Conroy (whom the Queen now hates) from
his office of comptroller of her, household. The
Baroness Leltzen ; it is said, fans the flume, in
the hope that if tlte Duchess of Kent be driven
from tho palace, she (the Baroness) will hold
undivided sway over our young, and, I fear, 1
not very wise sovereign. As for the story
about Conroy and Lady Flora Hastings, it has 1
no further foundation than this—the young 1
lady paid a visit to her mother at London Cas- ‘
tie in Scotland, and in the steamboat which 1
couvuyrd in i fiiitll Kdinbnrgh to l.oiidmi It ‘
happened that Sir John Conroy was u passen
ger.
Well, the Queen’s mind may be easy now.
Sir John Conroy and his fine family have quit
ted England. The Queen told het mother,
point blank, that their intercourse must be
wholly ceremonial until she dismissed Sir
John Conroy. The Dutches declined parting
with one who had been her husband’s friend
and her own faithful servant. The t* ib- f
Wellington was called in to meditate, Bnd he
prevailed on the Dutches of Kent to accept the
proffered resignation of Sir John. It was prom
ised him, I hear, that if he did not resume his
place he should be created a peer. The issue
was that a hollow peace between the Queen
and her mother was patched up, but speedily
broken,,for when the Dutchess paid u visit to
Lady Conroy the coming hour for departure
the Queen flew in a great passion, and actually
scolded.
The qualities of “our amiable young Queen”
are gradually dcvelopeing themselves. T e
Marquis of Westminster recently gave her
Majesty a fete, which cost £4000; as usual, the
book tis invitations to the royal tabic was laid
before Iter. Sir Robert and Lady Peel were
on tlte list oflhe invited, but not on tlte list of
guests who were to sit at the Queen’s table.
Her Majesty called for a pen, drew it across
the name of ffie Baronet and his Lady, and han
ded back the book to Lady Westminster, sav
ing. “If those people anfWt your party, you
must do without me.”
The Queen will not go to Windsor until the
end of August, There was a report that she
would visit Ireland this autumn, but it has died
away. To make the “Royal progress” in any
Yespectable way would cost about half a million
of money, and I suspect the civil list cannot
afford it. At the rate the Queen lives—each
of her tables costing from £ISOO to £3OOO, —
the money cannot lie spared. The new riding
school, for which the sum of £7OOOO has been
voted, will be ready for use by the time tlte
Queen is at Windsor. Sjr Jeffrey Wyattvillc
is the architect.
Lady Normaqby, who is now the Queen’s
favorite, has obtained the soubriquet of “Mrs.
Smaash’em.” in allusion to Queen Anne’s in
triguing favorite, Mrs. Mushem. It has been
noticed that Lady N. has contrived to bo “in
waiting,” on her Majesty three months instead
of one.” When the turn of a more indepen
dent lady of the household comes round, Lady
N. adroitly offers to take her place, and thus
keeps constantly about the Queen’s person. It
is believed that Lord Normanby will be the
l’reitier, whenever Melbourne resigns.
There has been anew fracas at the palace !
At Ascot Heath Races, when the Queen and
Lord Melbourne appeared, the populace hissed
the favorite. He was much annoyed, and sj
was the Queen. Somebody told her Majesty
that among the his ers were the Dutchess of
Montrose and Lady Sarah Ingestrie. It is
said that Lady Lichfield told the Queen that
she saw them his her. The ladies, hearing of
this report, promptly applied to Lady Lichfield,
who said at once that she had not given rise to
it. They yrgcil her to state this in writing,
but she said she must consult her husband
about that. Subsequently she did explicitly
deny, in a letter to the Duchess of Montrose,
that she had abused the Quceu’sear, as alleged.
At the. late ball at the palace, the two ladies in
question conceived, from the marked and pet
tish incivility of the Queen’s manner towards
them, that she still believed they had hissed her.
The next day, accordingly, the Duchess of
Montrose sent to Buckingham Palace, and de
manded an audience of the Queen. A female
council was held, and the Dutchess had to wait
in an anteroom during the two hours it occu
pied ; Lord Uxbridge theu brought out the
ungenerous message that none but Peers or
Peetc es, m their own right, could demand an
audience with the Sovereign. The Dutchess
was not to be put down—she insisted that Lord
Uxbridge should take down all she bad to say,
(that all being a spirited reproof and remon
strance.) and made him pledge his honor that
it should be instantly laid before the Queen.
At present the matter has changed its aspect, I

foa the Duko of Montrose felt it his duty to
open a correspondence on tho subject with
Melbourne, the “Petticoat Premier 1”
I dare say that these details will scarcely bo
credited in America, where, I believe, the most
favorable opinion is entertained ofthe Queen’s
head and heart. All I can say is—they are
true. Great and almost irresponcible power
was confided to a young woman who, up to
the hour she became Queen, knew nothing of
the world. That power has intoxicated her.
She will sober down, I doubt not, but the pub
lic will remember the antics of the inebriated
long after the intoxication has subsided.—The
Queen’s popularity has certainly declined ve
ry considerably. Twelve months ago, at her
Coronation, how universal was the feeling in
her favor. Now, she is accused of heartless
ness in the Flora Hastings affair, of sheer ob
stinacy in the late ministerial row, and of ttn
dutifulnesa in her conduct to her excellent
mother.
The Queen Dowager, on the Contrary, is
more popular then I think she wns in the life
time of her husband. She has declined receiv
ing any political addresses—lives in a quiet
way—disperses much money in charity,—and
rarely goes into society. She was at the Ital
ian Opera, the other evening, when the Queen
Regent was present, and had more than a mo
ity ofthe applause given by the audience to
Royalty. There is a report that she will visit
Hanovet in the autumn.
The papers are duly recording the impor
tant political fact, that an old woman in Lin
colnshire sent a kitten to the Queen, as a pre
sent, per coach, duly addressing tlte basket
“To the Queen, in London, or olsewear.” The
cat readied Royalty, and, a week or two ago,
the old woman had a letter from the Queen
herself duly announcing that Pussy had been
recived, had become a fine cat, and enclosing
two Bank of England £5 notes. The whole
story, it is needless lo add, is the happy inven
tionofsome penny-a-liner.

we insert it without further comment.— Mont.

Last Tuesday fortnglit, as Mrs. , (a
lady of literary taste and rather studious habits)
sat reading in her drawing room, theclook oh
the mantle piece struck twelve; as the last
stroke reverberated though the apartment, its
doors were suddenly flui% open.—ln the act
of raising her head to reprove the intrusion

and ft*ll senseless on the carpet. This brought,
up such members of the family as had not yet
retired to rest—restoratives were edntiustcred,
and when Mrs. had regained possession
of her suspended faculties, and being a woman
of strong mind and highly cultivated intellect,
she fell disposed to consider the whole of the
distress she had undergone as the result ofeer
tain association* between the meland:'.’) t ;:e
tiling on a partially deranged nervous system.
She, however, considered it advisable that her
female servant should repose in her chamber,
least any return of what she had determined
to consider s nervous affection should distress
herself and alarm the family.
Last Tuesday night, feeling stronger and in
better spirits than she had enjoyed for several
months past, Mrs. dispensed with the
presence of her attendant, retiring alone toiler
chamber, and went to bed a little before 10
o’clock. Exactly as the clock struck 12, she
was awakened from sleep, and distinctly be
held the apparation she had before sccft, ad
vanckig from the table (on wtrieh stood her
night lamp) til) it stood opposite to and drew
aside the curtains of her bed. A scene of suf
focating oppression deprived her of all power
to scream aloud. She deseribesher very blood
retreating with icy cliillnes to her heart from
every vein. The countenance ol her beloved

thus adjured him—‘Charles! dear Charles!

solemnly aspirated the shadowy form, waving
in his hand a smalj roll of writing paper, ‘Jessie,

Time witiiehs beauty.— One morning til
summer a female form went out to rove in ll e
bowers of Pleasure. She wa*beautiful. The
blushes of Aurora were upon her cheeks; and
each flower that waved around her pathway
seemed to catch a more beautiful brightness
from the living lustre of her eye. In those
bowers music wandcrtyl unbroken; and fresh
fountains rippled on beneath the fairy forme
that were mirrored in their wave. At length
she reached a bower more beautiful than the
rest and there, she beheld Time sleeping. His’
wings were become bright from the lustre of
the lovely things that lingered around hint phis
scythe had forgotten for a moment the com--
mauds of death: but flowers withered and
sprangjjp afresh beneath the sands that fell
from his hour*glass. She covered him with
roses, and ably passed on to revel in the glor
ies that breathed and brightened around her.
After a while sh-- returned; not a trace of youth
had faded front her check: not a blemish min--
glc. with her raven tresses; not a beam of her
eve departed in that slumber which hound
Time in the bowers of pleasure. As she ap
proached him the loud music of minstrelsy
echoed through the bower, and Time roused
hint from slumber. He glanced ad that lovely
one, and (he drill of long years pervaded hear
bosom, her locks paled in the light of his hour
glass and every truce of her beauty withered
bencatli the shadow of his wings !!
