His friends might well have trembled for his fame, if they had known he was venturing on so hazardous an experiment, at an age when those who were practised poots in their youth, lose all the fire and force of fancy, and when those who never were poets cannot acquire the smoothness and refinement of the art. Nevertheless, Mr. Adams has been eminently suc. cessful in this fanciful, but elegant trifling of his leisure hours. He has chosen for his theme the events which led to the possession of Ireland by Eugland in the twelfth century, and as has always been the fact, since the days of Eve and Helen, in all conquests and downfalls of man and empires, a woman is the cause of all. Dermot, King of Leinster, seizes and carries off Dovergilda, wife of Ororic, who, in return, attacks Dermot, and drives him out of the kingdom. He applies to Henry of England for succor, and ravages his kingdom, which he consents to hold in vas. salage under the crown of England. Henry availed himself of this claim, and through it achieved the entire conquest of Ireland. His. 'I sing of Dermot, Erin's early pride; Who sold to Albion's king his native land.

They will be opened by an introductory lec. ture from the Rev. Dr. Matthews, on the 23d., and on every subsequent Tuesday and Friday evening a lecture will be given. A Historical course by Prof. Vethake will occupy the Tuesday evenings. The associate course, in which Professors McVickar, Douglass and Torrey--Messrs. G. C. Verplanck, Wm. B. Lawrence, and Samuel A. Foot are to cooperate, will occupy the Friday evenings. "THE FAR WEST."-Some of the most beautiful descriptions of western scenery that we recollect to have met with, are to be found in "Hall's Legends of the West," a book we mentioned favorably among the literary notices of last Saturday. Indeed so fresh and grateful are many of these to one habituated to the trite sketches of transatlantic scenery, that setting aside Mr. Hall's entertaining narratives, altogether, his animated and glowing pictures of the uarified charms of nature, are alone sufficient to give value to his modest little work. In one instance we remember, for the book is not now before us, he carries you over an extensive prairie so graphi cally that you can almost behold the lake of verdure rolled out before your eyes-the points of woodland making into it like so many capes and promontories, and the clumps of trees studding its bosom like islands. Here the broad reaches of natural meadow-land striking far into the forest like the friths of this grassy sea, and there a mass of heavy timber like a bold headland breaking its surface. The effect of first entering upon a prairie after long travel through the woods, is said to be equally novel and delightful; and the change from gloom to sunshine, from the closoness of a forest where the woodman's axe has never rung, to the broad and free range of these delicious plains, impresses one like passing The lines on Justice, are a fit companion piece from a desert to a garden. In the words of Mr. Hall, The correction of a false notion of the nature of history, as it has heretofore been written, is worthy the attention of a man even as distinguished and as grave as is Mr. Adams, and he has, perhaps, chosen the best possible vehicle for illustrating it. This is no other than the studiedly negligent measure, celebrated in the Italian schools of poetry, but first suc- for those on Religion : cessfully engrafted into the English language by Lord Byron, in his inimitable Beppo and Don Juan; the last a poem of more genius, in our own conception, than Milton's epic, and of unsurpassed rich. ness in delicacy of satire, fancy and truth to nature. We say nothing of its immoralities, but of its powers. Mr. Adams has successfully followed this model; one which seems most easy of imitation, and yet is most difficult. It has been redeemed in the present instance from everything offensive, which gives so much point to Byron's satire; for it is much easier to be smart, when you disregard decency, than it is to be witty and severe, without being in the slightest degree indecent or rude. In no measure appli. cable to poetry, is there so slight a shade, as in this, between the sublime and the ridiculous. There is scarcely a middle ground of mediocrity, and it will either excite admiration or dis ust, as it is successfully or unsuccessfully attempted. It is a form of poetry which we have always preferred to all others for embodying at once the grave and gay, the lively and severe, the trifling and pathetic. Mr. Adams has certainly been successful in it. There is not much effort at the imaginative or pathetic, but the satire is delicate, polished, and severe, and the friends of the distinguished author have no cause to regret that he has condescended to trifle with a few of his leisure hours, and has given the results to the world. In his preface, Mr. Adams says:-The subject was well adapted to the composition of an historical tale, and as such I deliver it to the judgment of my country. It is intended also as a moral tale, teaching the citizens of these States, of both sexes, the virtues of genuine piety, and of devotion to their country, by pointing the finger of scorn at the example six hundred years since, exhibited of a country sold to a foreign invader by the joint agency of vio. lated marriage vows, unprincipled ambition, and religious imposture.' And if there be a Ruler of the skies, And whatsoe'er of justice earth denies," Angelic hands in heaven shall merd the flaw. From worlds beyond the grave thy comfort draw: "there is an air of civilization about them that wins the heart," and one can hardly divest himself of the idea that he is viewing some European Park, or princely pleasure grounds.

And in the cause of virtve point the pen ; nues, and solitary clumps of trees, he forgets that he is in a wilderness, and lets his eye luxuriate over the scene like one who from some savage wild peeps out on cultured fields and smiling orohards. In the very large praries, however, these beauties are for the most part lost; there the immensity of the scene, where the sun rises and sets upon either extremity as on the ocean itself, dispels the pleasing illusion. There is something very cheerless in the vast extent of unsheltered land, over which the wind sometimes sweeps so bleakly, that what with the fires which occasionally prevail, those islets of wood-the groves and thickets, which would give a different air to the scene, are but seldom found-and the solitary trees which sometimes rise like specs in the distance before the sight of the traveller, and which he watches for hours and hours before he reaches them, when gained at last do only, as they rear their blasted forms against the sky, add but to the dreariness of the landscape. Still for the painter or poet we can conceive nothing more delightful than a few weeks or months passed in such solitudes.
