ich laid the foundation for the intimacy between Longfellow and Lowell. Lowell had been invited, on the publication of A Year's Life, to write for an annual which was to appear in Boston and to be edited, in Lowell's own phrase, by Longfellow, Felton, Hillard and that set. Scudder's Lowell , i. 93. Lowell subsequently wrote in the Pioneer kindly notices of Longfellow's Poems on Slavery, but there is no immediate evidence of any personal relations between them at that time. In a letter to Poe, dated at Elmwood June 27, 1844, Lowell says of a recent article in the Foreign Quaterly Review attributed to John Forster, Forster is a friend of some of the Longfellow clique here, which perhaps accounts for his putting L. at the top of our Parnassus. These kinds of arrangements do very well, however, for the present. Correspondence of R. W. Griswold, p. 151. . . . It will be noticed that what Lowell had originally called a set has now become a clique. It is also evident that he did not

It is to be noticed, however, that Longfellow a counting up the number of his sheep. It will always remain uncertain how far Poe influenced the New England poets, whether by example or avoidance. That he somew, but he chose it most appropriately for Seaweed and in some degree succeeded. Poe himself in his waywardness could not adhere to it when he reached it, and after ses beginning Pine in the distance, but Longfellow showed absolutely no trace of Poe, unless as a warning against multiplying such rhythmic experiments as he once tr first of all. It is impossible to imagine him as writing puffs of himself, like Poe, or volunteering reports of receptions given to him, like Whitman. He said to M

to throw supplies into Gibraltar, at that time besieged by the Spaniards, on his way to his destination On the way to Gibraltar, he fell in with a Spanish fleet of eleven sail of the line, commanded by Admiral Don Juan de Langara, and after a running fight, which lasted ten hours, succeeded in capturing five or six of them--one of them having blown up during the action, with the loss of every soul on board. Captain (afterwards Admiral) Macbride, the grandfather, by the mother's side, of Edgar A. Poe, commanded a seventy-four (the Bienfaisant) in this action, and a curious incident is recorded in connexion with his name. A Spanish ship of eighty guns struck to him after a severe battle, and he was about to send a prize crew on board, when the Spanish Captain informed him that half his crew were dying of a malignant small-pox Macbride was in a dilemma, but was relieved by the Spaniard, who told him that if he would trust to his honor, be would take the prize into Gibraltar and deliver

Lecture to-night. The third lecture of the winter course will be delivered to-night at Dr. Moore's church, by John R. Thompson, Esq. His subject is an interesting one--"The genius and character of Edgar A. Poe"--a theme, we venture to say, as full of material to move the soul as any that could be selected. In the hands of so accomplished a gentleman as Mr. Thompson--himself one of our most chaste and beautiful writers of the purest English who, with his acute powers of analysis and deliney, as full of material to move the soul as any that could be selected. In the hands of so accomplished a gentleman as Mr. Thompson--himself one of our most chaste and beautiful writers of the purest English who, with his acute powers of analysis and delineation of character, and true appreciation of genius, has had the advantage of a personal knowledge of poor Poe — the subject must prove most instructive and entertaining. The objects (see advertisement) and the theme call for a full house.

From Baltimore. Baltimore, December 9. --Daniel W. Lawrence, of the Thirty-ninth Illinois regiment, formerly a New York lawyer, jumped overboard from a steamer in the Chesapeake yesterday, and was drowned. On Wednesday night, John Clement, a member of the First regiment New York Mounted Rifles, fell overboard from the steamer Decatur, in the Chesapeake, and was drowned. Manager Ford, of Holliday and Front street Theatres, proposes benefits at both houses soon, to aid in erecting a monument to the memory of Edgar A. Poe. The scholars of the Baltimore public schools are raising handsome donations for the same purpose. Robberies around the outskirts of Baltimore and throughout Maryland are increasing alarmingly.
