NEAPOLITAN PIETY.-From a little work just published at Bath, called Transalpine Memoirs, we extract the following "good thing." We wish the rest of the volumes were as amusing: An Italian, not a Neapolitan, and on that account desirous of turning into ridicule whatever is Neapolitan, told me that he had just been hearing a panegyric on St. Januarius. Having brought the saint into heaven, the preacher had begun to consider what place he should there assign to him. "Where shall we put him," he said; "not on the right hand of Almighty God, for there is our Saviour Jesus Christ; not on the left hand, for there is the Blessed Virgin; not on the right of our Saviour, for there is St. Peter-" Padre," exclaimed a lazzaroni, rising from his seat, "Padre, ecco, poteli metterlo qui, che mene vado."'-"Look, father, you may put him here," pointing to his seat, "for I am going away." SERIOUS POETRY.-Under this title, a very well selected volume of poetry has just been published. It is a thick well-printed volume, and contains much good verse, and very little trash. As a specimen, we give an affecting poem by WOLFE, the author of the celebrated Elegy on Sir John Moore: VERSES. If I had thought thou couldst have died, I might not weep for thee; But I forgot, when by thy side, That thou couldst mortal be: It never through my mind had past And I on thee should look my last! And still upon that face I look, And think 'twill smile again; And still the thought I will not brook, But when I speak-thou dost not say, If thou wouldst stay, e'en as thou art, I still might press thy silent heart, And where thy smiles have been! Thou seemest still my own; But there I lay thee in thy grave— I do not think, who e'er thou art, Thou hast forgotten me; And I, perhaps, may sooth this heart, In thinking too of thee; Yet there was round thee such a dawn Of light ne'er seen before, As fancy never could have drawn, And never can restore! The inexorable shears of our printer have cut off the fairest and largest portion of our Magaziniana. Many of our Correspondents, who must lie in the press for a month, would have found themselves honourably commemorated.-ED. PRICES OF SHARES IN THE PRINCIPAL CANALS, DOCKS, Amt.
