Holmes’ courre before the Mercantile Society of this city, was delivered last | evening in Hope Chapel, tos very numerous, respectable | and attentive auditory. The theme selected for the course has been “The English Poets of the Nineteenth | Century.” | The lecturer’s subject for last evening's lecture was Seott and Macauley. The lecturer stated that as requested, | he had chosen Sir Walter Scott as the principal subject | of his lecture, instead of Shelley. For one reader of | Shelley there were one hundred of Scott. He was glad he | ‘was saved irom what he should have to say about him, as he would have felt it his duty to treat him as a poet in- stead of an atheist. So the change was welcome to him: About good Sir Walter we cannot quarrel—all agree in | liking him, and liking him asa poet. Soot isread by | the many—Shelley by the few. Scott was a ro- mantic realist—3helley @ philosophic idealist. Mr. | Garrisen, speaking of the American press, said jocu- | larly that he beheved the editors and proprietors of jour- | nals were fitter for the penitentiary than the pera.ns who | are generally found there. This is, I suppose, because | they are generally conservative. The lecturer proceeded to analyze the works of the poets. Scott’s poems are | read by the cbildren with as much pleasure and under- | standing as by their parents. The stormy sea of Byron’a pasrion is strewed with wrecks. ‘fhe current of Sheliey’s | works is tinged with rainbow colors, and so children are still attracted to Scott. It must not from that be supposed | that Scott was not a high poet Two. sosn dlawweicloally op: | posite in interests and feelings were Ssott and Shelley, aud 80 it is curion seo them rivals in the public bs ion. He would treat Scott ass poet,/notas a novelist. We have had during the halt century a great galaxy of men of let- | ters. Walter Scott was a etic man. In Byron, the excers of imaginaticn covered up the animal. In | Walter Scott's poetry there is more athletic )ife than in any of theothers. Im his youth he bad joined the caval ry corps of his district. He was always a great sory teller and improvisatore. Monk Lewis had produced a | great effect by bis novel of * the Monk,” and nis ballads; avd Seott made his acquaintances, and stimulated his at- tempt to compose poetry. He translated the poem of “Leonora” at twenty four years of age. His next work was alro a translation of one of Goethe’s poema. at last, in his thirty ith year—the same period when Byron was drawing to the close of bis eareer—sp- peared “The Lay of the Last Minstrel,” and from that time to the close of his life those aduirable stories of his romantic imagination came before the public. Scoti’s comporition is athletic. His whole meaning is taken in at the first readiag. Tae perfect transparency of his poetry renders criticism impossible. As to which is the best of his romantic stories in verse, there is much dissimilarity of opinion. Jeffrey consideret hat the “Lady of the Lake” ia: other:—and the leo- turer agreed with them—preferred “Marmion” 4 con servative in religion and politicr, it is more for those who look backward than forward that he writes. The lecturer then went on to read portions of | Curlye’s critisism on Scott, avd commented on them. S:ott had = great Instioct—the reverential love for the past, and the ability to make it live again. Memory as well ax hoze is necessary to live in the present, Perhaps too much is wade of his worldly ambition. He built & quasi feudal mi ion, and paid ‘or it at the mar- ket price of his genius. Shakepeare did the sxmo thing; and yot no one asks if he wrote “‘ Hamlet” with worldly purpores, The idea that no man is doing God service ex- cept he is fighting with the devil, iss mistake. Tae | ors Sault to be found with Carlyle’s criticism is that 6 undervalues the love of een and the power to paint it. It is injustice to a man who has ny the workd listen- ing to him for twesty years, to belittle him by comparing him to the reformers of whom Cariyle had been writing, because be did not make aphorisms to head chaptora well When the large vote of mankind is taken, he may be found to be really great, No poet needs criticism less to bring cut his beauties and defects. Tana beauties stand out without the aidof a critic, and his dpfects occur to the most inexperienced. He was, perhaps, too antiquarian, aud all bis learning must be somehow got out of him,’ Harold the Dauntless” gave in, and Scott ne more sung the song of chivalry. In 1810 the “Lady of the Lake’? appeared; aud in 1812 Byron’s ‘Childe Baro}d ” in the flame of which “ Marmion’? the “Lay of the last Minstrel” paled. In 1814, ‘‘ Waverley’’ peared; and here closed the poetical state of Scott’s ex- ist His extraordinary vigor is seea through his His hero is always a hard riding chiel or border No cther rider can come ap to his Lochinvar. This force of bis tn also s in the last scens of Marmion. The laughing humors of life are shown in the delineation of the nun’s proceeding to St Cuthbert iele. The lectur- er cited also Scott's lively description of Lady Heron, “Marmion,” and ihe apokgy of Sir Hugh Heron for wife's absence, ending with the philosophical retlection— * Let thi ld falcon soar ber swing, She'll stoop when she has tired her wing.”” Carlyle cox trasts ‘ote with Shakspeare, in that the for- mer constructs his charac‘ers fcom without iaward, aud the otker from within outward. There is a great deal in that idea; but it is not original—it belongs to Cali- baa the first (Johnson.) Tne lecturer consideret that Byron plsgeiized from Scott in ‘“Parasina,’’ where hie bervine is a counterpart of Constance in ‘‘Marmion.’’ Scott's invention and fertility were very great so that when he wrote in rhyme he chose the »mbling, slip- shod style. It was lucky thing that Scott got down from his hobby so soon. {Our olassification, said the lectorer, dees not go over the Waverley domain, we lose the poet in the romancer. Ali at once astrange bright rode into the felc, carrying a long javelin and a shert, stout sword. He rings as be rides. The face has a it te but the great historian and orator, Thomas Babing- ion Macoul y? There is a ring of good sturdy manhood sbout his Komen baliads. His are the songs of coursge and patriotiem, whish get slighted in times of psace and effeminacy. The man who can read ‘-Horatius’’ without a glow of excitement, is not fit for the militia; and the woman who could pe- iuwe it withcut something of the same feeling, should be mpttog nunnery. The wh le construction of the poem is thatoc a brilbiant mossic. Easy as they flow from the lip, they must bave been much studied and elaborateiin the composition. The lecturer gave a specimen of ite style by reading a portion of the poem. Pictaresqueness isthe only term to apply to Macs descriptions. ‘The words Macauley puts into the father’s mouth, in “Virginius,” before he plunges the knife into his davgh- ter’s bosom, are as untrue to history as they are un- likely to hs-ve occurred. all not likely, however, have any more Marmions or atli. The lecturer, in conclusion. recited one of his own poems, which he called a “Stirrup Cup,”’ or to use his own prosunciation, ‘ Styrrnp Cup.” Latest from the Bahamas. We received our files of Nassau (N. P.) jour- nals, dated to the 29th of October, yesterday after- noon. The American schooner Ida, Delatour, arrived from: New York on October 28. We are informed that the authorities have ar- ranged that the government schooner shall leave the harbor of Nasssu for the outislands, on the 14th of every month. A ship in distress appeared in the offing off Nas- sau, upon the evening ot the 28th ultimo. She was discovered to be an English ship under jury masts. We have not learned her name, neither her port of departure or destination. Some wreckers went out to assist her. ‘The genera] court of the colony waa occupied the whole of Thursday and Friday, 27th and 28th inst., in hearing the case of Renouard agt. McLeod, for li- bel.

The case was to be resumed on Monday, when the argaments of coun- sel on both sides would be heard. An extensive robbery of gold and silver coin haa taken place at the store of Messrs. H. Adderly & Co., Nagsau. Some $15,000 or $20,000 are supposed to have been extracted from an iron chest, by means of a duplicate key. Several officers of the militia lately tendered the resignation of their commissions, which were ac- cepted. a5 Bahama Herald, of October 26, writing upon the moral and social condition of the cule, says: — ‘There were more cases on the criminal calendar this term than for a long time it, and we regret to state that three or four of them were of a serious na- ture, and not only serious but disgusting— but to say that crime ison the iscrease in the Bahamas, we weu'd nct think ourselves warranted or jastified; nor would it be fair to judge after that fashion merel becavse there appeared a heavier calendar than usual. Perhaps no colony under the British Crown presents eo small an amount of crime, considering the popu- la ion, the irolated position of the various out islands, and the class of people who inhabit them. Flour was reported scarce at Naasan, and had con- sequently taken a rise to $10 per barrel. Sugar aud melsnees had also risen in price. ‘Lhe government schooner Union had arrived at Nosaau from Inagua and the various out-islands in her route, tpen the 24th of October. We learn trom this scurce that at Inagua the weather had been fine, and that at Long Cay, Crooked Island, the salt busi- nees wes favorable.

Maan- facturing Company, and wished to open an account by depositing a sight draftun New York for $10,000, statiog that be should not wish to draw for any por- tion of the sum. The deposit was rather reluctantly received, and the draft forwarded to the Bank of Commerce, in New York, for collection. On the 15th, the Shawmut Bank received’ a draft from Mr. North for $2,000, which was not accepted. ad was then made by telegraph if the original draft been paid in New York, to which the reply was re- ceived that the ustal three day are was demanded r $5,000 was next by the party.
