 past Session. The first being that of Mr. Cowden 

 Clarke, "On the Poets of the Guelphic Era," which 

 were very interesting, and well attended. In justice to 

 this gentleman it must be remarked that his graphic, able, 

 and impartial analysis of the character and writings of 

 the various authors of the period, evinced a thorough 

 knowledge of his subject, and delighted his audience.
