LOCAL EXAMINATIONS-—-A GOOD CHANCE FOR THE BOYS AND GIRLS OF OUR CITY SCHOOLS.

We have great pleasure in drawing the attention of eur readers—especially of those who interest themselves in educa- tional matters —to the list of subjects for the Local Examinations in eonneetion with King’s College Windsor, whieh we publish below. These are examinations which the authorities of this University have de- cided to hol whenever it may be desired. They are open to all, so that any boy or girl who thinks himself or herself up to the mark of the requirements, is at liberty to enter forthem. The papers are made out at the College and sent on; and, the ans- wers returned. Examination is conducted under the supervision of gentlemen ap- pointed for the purpose. Every candidate whose answers prove satisfactory to the examiners reeeives from the University a certificate of his or her success. It will be seen by consulting the subjoined list, that the six departments in which the candi- dates are examined embraee a range of sub- jects quite within the limits of most of our city schools. We would earnestly impress, then, upon teachers and others the im- portance cf taking this matter up—of actively interesting themselves in it by preparing and bringing forward pupils as candidates. Such a course will have sev- eral decided advantages. It will supply beth teacher and pupil with a definite aim ; it will bring the successful ones in close connection with one of the oldest and best institutions of learning,and since the names of those who pass are classed, and the schools in which they-aretanght stated, it will bring our schools in direet competition with each other. The strenuous efforts and consequent beneficial results of such rivairy need not be dwelt upon.

The examination will take place towards the end of June. Notice of time and place will be given.

CRITICISM.

T'o the Editor of the Examiner.

Sin,—Amongall thestandard poets of Great Britain, Alexander Pope was certainly the one who most completely combined strength with elegance. In his prose Writings, espe- cially in ‘‘ Martinus Seriblerus,” he was Adideenly-dohiai amples of utter abstirdity and bathos, many of which were taken froin the writings of his contemporaries, and some, strange to say, from very early poetical failures of his own. ‘To search for passages of beauty in different authors, is a much more pleasing, and not less useful, employment than find- ing blemishes. The War Horse, in animated action, has been described by Homer, by Virgil and by the writer—wheever he was —of the Book of Job. The latter under all the disadvantags of a mere prose transla tion, is by far the best of the three. Vir- gil, as rendered by Dryden is, in this one instance, preferable to Homer, as rendered by Pope. The classical beauty of Lerd By- ron’s best poems, his morbidly concentrated individuality, the strength of his mental fervor, blinded Sir Walter Scott’s modesty, se far as to make him undervalue his own native strength, honesty and healthy power ing general description of men, things and places, as they really are, or, as they really were, at those periods wherein Sir Walter laid his scenes. Both these poets were Scotsmen’ and, in spirit, Highlanders. Both of them highly valued Scotland and her national instrument, the bagpige ; both of them have written verses descriptive of that instrament : the Pibroch of Clan Al- pine, in ‘“‘ The Lady of the Lake” is with- out any paraliel in Lord Byron’s Poems, unless it be in the song of ‘‘ The wild Suli- ete.” But both these poets have written elsewhere in the measure or metre common- ly termed the Spenserian ;—the one in “ Childe Harold,” the other in ‘‘ The Vis- ion of Don Roderic.” These verses are familiar te most readers of poetry ; but it may not be amiss to compare them and to analysethem. Lord Byron begins his verse well. ‘*The Cameron’s Gathering,” the war-note of Lochiel’”’ is heard in the market place of Brussels at midnight, summoning the Highland Regiments, under their gal lant leader Sir Thomas Picton, and his equally gallant colonels -- Cameran and Macara, to hasten to Quatre Bras, redeem, at the cost of many hundred lives—includ- ing their own—the great error which the Commander-in-Chief had committed, in capering at a Ball, while Napoleon was rushing headlong to that victory which was was wrenched from him, not by the skill of his opponent General, but by English, Scot- tish and Irish determined pluck and unflin- ching endurance ; by such men as Picton, Cameron, Macara and Ponsonby, and their soldiers. Lord Byron proceeds to compare the spirit of the Highlanders to ** the breath that fills” their favorite national in- strun * This, as it seems to me, is an ineles nd inflated simile. Englishmen might, saugh at it. The parallel verse, by Sir Walter Scott, is firm, steady and prac- tical, like the brave men whem he des- cribes —men led on by Sir Thomas Picton, Sir Denis Pack, Cameron of Fassifern, and Macara ; 250 of whom, at the word of Sir Denis Pack, drove a French column of 3000 men of Napoleon’s Imperial Guard, under the gallant Count Drouet D’Erlon, like chaff before the wind. Sir Walter Scott might well say ‘‘ When level for the charge their arms are laid,—Where lives

ed?” There are other parallels, between .

Pope and Scott for instance, which I should like to mention ; but, lest 1 occupy too much of your valuable space with my fan- cies, | remain, Sir, yonr obedient servant, View Duomnom, Nan Orp,

P. S.—I cannot conclude without asking you to refer to that incomparable work of Sir Walter Scett—‘* Waverly,” and to read the song ef Flora MclIvor, Is there any- thing in Lord Byron to eqgnal it!

‘QO! sprung from the Kings who in Islay kept state ! Proud Chiefs of Chanranald,* Glengarry, and Sleate ! Combine, like three streams from one mount ain of snow, And, pareations, in union, rush down on the oe ! Be the brand of each chieftain like Fin’s ia his ire ; Let ~ blood in his veins flow like currents of re! Burst the base foreign yoke (yoke of the mob) as your sires did of yore ; die like your sires, and endure it no more !”’
